<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-585.6.22 -A few hours after the mini-
<DeathStar> Location: THE PAX
* Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
* Alicia is now known as Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is sitting in the chair outside Cheryl's door, half-asleep.
<DeathStar> 6* John creeps toward Shiva's door.
* Xanatos stands in his room, leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, he looks down at the time, then looks back up. He frowns whenever he glances down and sees that his leg is shaking, and despite his efforts, it doesn't stop.
* Chad`Winters steps out of his room, fully shaven and his hair recently cut. He adjusts his uniform slightly and starts walking down the hallway
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers around the hallway, eyeing Warren.
* Ariel idly wanders the halls, something on her mind.
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
* Xanatos moves to his door and peeks outside. "Surely the've forgotten by now..." He looks up and down the hallway.
* Seraphna is still enjoying movies with Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is in the civilian sector, in a pet shop, where an old man died from heart troubles. She is doing an inventory of the shop, listening to a young woman talking about the shop. <Woman> Yeah, this shop was full of robotic pets - ya know, for people who didn't have time for real pets.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> *wanders over to Ariel* "Hello." *pauses* "Something on your mind?
* Ariel has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Ari[AWAY])))
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* John steps into Shiva's room.
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
* Ariel shakes her head, "I rather not talk about it."
* Marcus` has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps out of her room, wearing a cowboy hat, big thick sunglasses that hide her eyes, and a rather simple cowgirl outfit with boots. Warren eyes her, then gets up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva lays across her couch as she watches the HoloVid
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> "Alright." *pauses again* "Ahh.. am I a bother?"
<DeathStar> <John> Hey, sweeetie!
* Marcus` stretches his arms out and yawns, "Oh boy what is this...the 4th movie?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias watches Cheryl and Warren.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Short movies.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva glances up smiling. "Hey sexy."
* Xanatos decides the coast is clear and steps out of his room, shoving his hands into his pockets and casually moving away, walking down the hallway.
* Seraphna blinks, half asleep in his arms, looking up at him.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Do you want t--- <Cheryl> No. 6She turns to go. Warren grabs her arm. <Warren> Don't try the Alpha Male routine on me. It won't work. And if it did, do you really want to piss me off? 6* Cheryl stares at him through her sunglasses, then glances away. <Warren> Don't keep it inside. And don't go off and drink yourself stupid. You need a clear head.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva sits up and motions for John to sit beside him
<Marcus`> Ok so maybe it is only the second. *he says with a smile, laying his head back* Boy this is comfy.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. What will happen to the pets? <Woman> I guess we'll have to do something with them. Not sure what. No one really wants to run a pet store. 6* Erevis kneels down beside one cat that has what appears to be an iron colored paw.
* Ariel shakes her head and sighs, "No... but matters are complicated. There is much I need to work out. Personal issues. Issues with comrads... Issues with enemies. It's just..."
* Seraphna nods in agreement and cuddles into him softly.
<DeathStar> 6* John moves over and sits Shiva. "H-Hi."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> "Complicated." *nods, seeming to understand*
<Ariel> "Too many things to do at once..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lets Cheryl go, tapping his cane.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiba> You're nervous? I know, you need something to eat. She hops up and quickly moves to the kitchen.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> "If I can be of any assistance, I'd be happy to help."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks on down the hallway, looking especially intimidating when you can't see her eyes.
* Ariel pauses seeing Xanatos. "Durran. A moment, I need a favor."
* Xanatos whistles nervously, making his way down the hallway, he rounds a corner and continues on, not really going anywhere, but moving in a random pattern so it is harder to find him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias begins moving along the hallway wall towards Warren.
* Xanatos slides to a stop, looking over at Ariel. "I...uhh, yes?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis picks up the cat with the iron paw. She looks like she thinks it's adorable.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there, then turns to eye Dias
* Ariel heads over to Xanatos, "I hear that you're part of the security force now."
<DeathStar> 6* John swallows nervously.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias quickly turns around, staring up at a cieling and whistling.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Xanatos> I...uhh, well yeah...kinda...*he seems very nervous*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to go.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> *lets Ariel deal with Xan first. She has something to say, but it can wait*
<Chad`Winters> Shiva comes back with some cut up fruit and plops down next to him. "I got some lovely fruit for you."
<DeathStar> <John> F-Fruit?!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns back around and begins sneaking after him.
* Ariel slugs Xanatos in the face without notice, hard enough to lift him clear off his feet. "...reconsider your line of work." She starts off.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks along the hallway.
<Seraphna> *Airier tosses back another one, settling the empty mug down.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva puts on a face that makes her look hurt. "You...You don't want any fruit?"
<DeathStar> <John> Ohnononono, love to have it. 6He throws one in his month, chewing and swallowing.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias keeps moving after Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren aims his gun at Dias' head without looking back.
<DeathStar> <Warren> What do you want?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias bends over to tie his shoe and glances up. "Hmmm?"
<DeathStar> <Woman> Do you like him? <Erevis> Yes. <Woman> Keep him. I think his name was... 6She looks. "Siawase." 6* Erevis tilts her head, then plops the cat down on her shoulder.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> "I'd apologize for jumping to conclusions, but... I'm not sure it's the right thing to do right now." *follows Ariel*
* Xanatos hits the ground and slides a bit, laying there for a second. "....ow."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren charges the gun.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hey you can't shoot a civilian!
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Do you like it?!
<DeathStar> <Warren> You're military now.
<DeathStar> <John> Tasty. Great.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> *catches up to Ariel again* "Nice hit."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Even better, you can't shoot me for sure!
* Xanatos pulls himself up to his feet, "Jesus Christ..." He shakes his head, rubbing his jaw. "I deserved that..." He mumbles, moving to get away from Ariel now.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> The owner of the shop called it...something kind of red fruit...I'm not sure.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren clicks off the safety.
<DeathStar> <John> ... Strawberries?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ok ok ok, I was practicing my sneaking skills.
* Ariel shrugs, "It made me feel better." She pauses, then adds, "And he deserved more than that."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren puts up the gun. "Try harder. And use a box."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> *nods in agreement*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> No...not strawberries. 6She hands him another one."
<DeathStar> 6* John whimpers, then eats another.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Seriously? A box will work?
<DeathStar> <Warren> .... Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out with Siawase on her shoulder.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're not just saying that, you know to fool me, are you?
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Than I want to requisition a box, for my sneaking skills. Getting into the girls locker rooms will be easier this way.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Ask John. He seems to have a habit of date raping pepole.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva hugs him gleefully. "I knew you'd like it. More?" 6She holds the bowl to him.
<DeathStar> <John> N-No thanks. I'm full.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> But...I slaved over cutting these.
<DeathStar> 6* John whimpers, then eats another.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Hotaru> *wanders towards Xanatos*
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... hello Xan."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down in the garden, wearing her crazy get up.
* Xanatos widens his eyes when he sees Hota and slides to a stop. "Ummm....hi?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Oh that's right, they were King Red fruit or something...6She moves to get up.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh Christ.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wait....Date raping? What's that?
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Oh christ what?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren whips out a dictionary from no where and holds it out to Dias.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru smiles sweetly, but in a strangely familiar way. "I have something I want to say."
<DeathStar> <John> Nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* John tugs at his collar.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru suddenly kicks Xan in the balls. "Don't fuck with my sister."
<Xanatos> GAH! *he doubles over, collapsing onto the ground*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Oh....good. I gotta leave and grab something real quick. Be right back dear. 6She moves to the door and steps outside
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru smiles sweetly again, as if imitating Cheryl. "Have a nice day."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru then walks on
<DeathStar> <John> You-You can't go. I'm...I'm...
<Xanatos> "yeeah...you too." *he gasps*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> But it's really important. I'm sorry dear. 6She blows him a kiss than steps outside.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along, petting her new evil kitty.
<DeathStar> <John> ... ... 6He begins to gnaw on his knuckles.
* Marcus` idly begins to run his hand through Sera's hair as he watches the movie, his eyes starting to feel heavy.
<Xanatos> Ohhh god...*he pulls himself up to his feet.* How many dragoons are on this ship again...?
* Seraphna pecks his cheek and reaches for her comms, quietly saying over them, "...Tired? I can head home..."
<DeathStar> 6* John begins to hunt for his porn collection before he dies.
<Ariel> Em> *steps on Xanatos' foot as she hurries to catch up with Hotaru. She's wearing heels today*
<Chad`Winters> 6They all seem to be missing.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh God no.
<Xanatos> GAAAAHh! *he eyes Em*
<Seraphna> <...Mmmm... *sounds unusually happy* ...how's things going sis? You feel angry about something...>
* Marcus` perks one eye open. "Oh no. I'm not tired, just resting my eyes." He says with a smirk.
<Xanatos> .....I shoulda stayed in my room
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Hotaru> <Oh, Xanatos tried to get in bed with Cheryl...> *smiles to Em* "Nice one."
* Chad`Winters stops behind Xanatos, staring at him.
<Seraphna> <Really... and he'
* Xanatos pulls himself up to his feet, glancing around now, he begins counting on his fingers. He stops and glances back at Chad.
<Seraphna> <Really... and he's still alive...?>
<Ariel> Em> *smiles, and puts an arm around Hotaru's shoulders* "I feel like family."
<DeathStar> 6* John screams and runs for the shower.,
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "You are."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <He'll be wishing for death by the end of the day.>
<Chad`Winters> 6It also appears the showers are locked out
<Seraphna> <I found out somethign interesting today...>
<DeathStar> <John> ... NOOO! 6He collapses.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at the dictionary, eyeing it. "And that's bad right?
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6He just turns t ogo.
<Xanatos> ...You need something?
* Seraphna hugs Marcus and smiles, turning her attention back to the movie
<Chad`Winters> Just wondering why all the abuse.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis passes Ariel. She seems to note her bad mood, and stops playing with her cat.
* Ariel pauses, "...new pet?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So yes...Is Cheryl ok?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. His name is Siawase. 6She cups her hands together behind her.
<Xanatos> Go ask someone else, i'm in too much pain to think...which isn't much pain obviously. *he waves a hand and begins to hobble away*
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> "That's a nice name."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... I really don't know. She doesn't talk about her feelings.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *eyes Xanatos coldly as he approaches her*
<Chad`Winters> King Red's fruit, huh?
* Xanatos stops. "Wrong way." he says while turning and hobbling back towards Chad. "Yeah, I forgot what it did until it was too late." he says in a quick explanation.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nah, she doesn't do that stuff does she?
<DeathStar> <Warren> No. She does not.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I could talk to her.
<DeathStar> <Warren> If you want.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *rests a hand on Xanatos' shoulder, with an iron grip*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Over a beer even.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lets avoid getting her drunk.
* Chad`Winters slides over slightly, stopping Xan enough for Sets to grab her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Why?
* Xanatos goes Pale. "Wait...wait...Setsuna...you just using this a free chance to hit me?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <What was that?>
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6He flips to another definition of emotional trauma, then holds it out.
<Seraphna> <...Mmmm... It was all in the DNA... I can have kids...>
<DeathStar> NRP: You can't.
<Seraphna> NRP: Huh? Then what was Warren saying yesterday>
<DeathStar> NRP: He wasn't saying anything abotu you having kids.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...you missed your shift. You're being docked pay, and you have a double tomorrow to make up for it." *releasts Xanatos, and heads off, muttering something about needing a beer*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias scratches his head, obviously not getting it. "Do you got any puppets?
<Seraphna> NRP: Warren looks at the file, then Ser,a then said the word "Kids" and left with is.
* Xanatos sighs. "I think I would rather have just been hit by her.."
* Chad`Winters suddenly slugs Xanatos across the jaw.
* Xanatos recoils and eyes Chad. "You'd better fucking get out of my face now."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6He walks off, tossing Dias the whole book
<Chad`Winters> That's for hitting me for something that happened 2 years ago.
<Xanatos> You deserved it you stupid fuck!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes it than chucks it to the side.
<DeathStar> 6* John crawls out of Shiva's room.
* Xanatos shakes his head and turns to walk away from Chad mumbling horrible things about him.
<Chad`Winters> Maybe like upto a 4 months after, but not 2 years you idiot.
* Xanatos just holds up a middle finger. "I Hold grudges for a long time."
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva shoves her foot into John's back as he climbs out, driving him to the floor.
<DeathStar> <John> UNGH
<Chad`Winters> Well you did try murdering my child, maybe I should hold that against you?
* Xanatos stops and glances back. "I couldn't rightly blame you if I did, regardless of the state I was in."
<Seraphna> <Hmmm...? Nothing, head's swimming right now...>
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> So tell me, what possessed you in all things to give Xanatos Durran King Red Fruits to give to Cheryl? Hell to any girl?
<DeathStar> <John> He needed...a good..lay..and she..was..good..for it? I mean..24..
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Well, okay.>
<Chad`Winters> It's a good thing I don't hold grudges.
<Ariel> "What happened to his paw?"
<Xanatos> Guess so. *he turns now, not wanting to be around Chad.*
* Cassandra` making her way to the scene of the disturbance...
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Terra> *wanders over to Xan*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know, but I think it is ... 'cute'.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> "It is." *smiles*
* Xanatos eyes Terra. "Oh fucking hell just hit me and get it over with."
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva twists her heel slightly. "A date rape drug tho? I know he's about as loveable as puppy on fire after swimming through toxic sludge, but really, date rape fruit?
<DeathStar> <John> UNGH.
* Marcus` arcs a brow at Sera zoning out. "You ok?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Terra> "How considerate." *punches him in the gut*
* Seraphna blinks and smiles, nodding.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Terra> *then continues on*
<DeathStar> <John> Come on!
* Xanatos doubles over, sucking in some air. "Oh god I can't wait till this day is over with."
<Seraphna> *Airier passes by the stooping Xan, grabbing his shoulder and pulling him to standing.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Of all the irresponsible things John McCormick, this? I never thought you'd advocate Rape."
* Xanatos eyes Airier.
<Seraphna> Airier> "..."
<Cassandra`> What's going on here?!
<DeathStar> <John> I wasn't thinking of it as rape! I swear. I mean, really. Rape! I didn't think
<Xanatos> Who the fuck are you? *he says to Airier*
<Ariel> "You did seem like a cat person, I will admit."
<Seraphna> Airier> "...I'm more forgiving... don't even look at her funny."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis simles.
<Xanatos> Right. Get out of my face. *he shoves Airier off and moves away, seeing Cass, he waves his hand* Nothing I don't deserve.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Apparently not. You know the whole thinking thing.
* Chad`Winters continues down the hallway.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Michiru> *wanders over towards Xan, not looking happy*
<DeathStar> <John> Really. 6He strains to get into a sitting position. "She looked like she needed a good bounce."
<Xanatos> Hey this was your dad's fault too! Don't start with me!
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> But by Xanatos? 6She lifts her foot off him.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh, come on. You were going to marry him for kicks.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> But I wasn't going to have sex with him.
<DeathStar> <John> So, you're saying no one in their right mind would want to have sex with him?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Michiru> *eyes Xanatos coldly* "Katrina would be disgusted with you. I know I am."
* Marcus` smiles at Sera and nods, glancing back up to the movie. "I've been hearing alotta noise come from the hallway." he admits.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Oohohoho, don't try tricking me there buddy.
<Cassandra`> Xanatos... *eyes him as she arrives on the scene*
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Michiru> "I hope it was worth defiling her memory."
<DeathStar> 6* John stands up, facing her. "He needs to move on with his life. I'm trying to help him move on."
<Xanatos> Don't worry Michi, you're not the only one. *he shakes his head, holding his stomach, he glances up at Cass.* Oh please don't hit me, you're fists are worse than metal.
<Cassandra`> Explain yourself.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> And that's wonderful John, but find another way that doesn't involve, you know drugging someone up. Like use beer.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Michiru> *walks on, not actually hitting Xanatos*
<DeathStar> <John> Look, after sleeping with 24 men, I just assumed she would be inclined to ... pick Xan if she was a little..horny.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis loses her smile. "You are upset." 6She notes to Ariel.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> And it didn't happen did it? So I don't think that whole number thing is really accurate.
* Ariel nods slowly. "A member of the crew... put my daughter in a comprimising posistion."
<DeathStar> <John> *snorts* I don't believe for a moment she's a virgin.
* Xanatos sighs and leans against the wall, taking in some deep breaths, "John gave me some fruit to give to Cheryl, I thought they were her favorite kind or something and before I actually realized they were King Red's fruit, it was too late."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> "... is she alright...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> John...Shush, it doesn't matter what she is. Just try to use your head a little better because god knows I can't protect you from Cheryl.
* Seraphna nods to Marcus and shrugs
<Cassandra`> ...I see...and you had no idea? *purses her lips*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. Shall I go "rough them up" for you?
<DeathStar> <John> Speaking of Cheryl, where is she? I expected raining death to come upon me by now.
<Xanatos> Honest to god I had completely forgot about the fruit. But when she started acting weird, I realized what they were. But I deserve this beating, if I weren't such an idiot this wouldn't have happened.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Not sure hun, and don't worry, I only fed you Nerubian Flats....stuffed with exlax.
* Ariel looks down at her fist, "I almost broke his jaw. He doesn't realize it, but he will need to see the dentist multiple times in the future."
<DeathStar> <John> ... ...
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> 6Smiles at him and kisses him on the lips.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6She puts a hand on her shoulder. "I am sure he deserved it."
<DeathStar> 6* John whimpers.
<Cassandra`> *comm* Commander McCormick, my ready room...now.
<Cassandra`> Xanatos...you too. *heads to her ready room*
<DeathStar> 6* John stiffens, then heads for the bridge. God, he hopes he doesn't crap before then.
* Xanatos glances at Cass. "Oh god i'm fired." he hangs his head and moves after Cass.
<Chad`Winters> Shiva glances at Johns comm. "And I can't protect you from her either, unless of course you become a member of the Cartel.
* Ariel nods. "I do not regret it. Only that I didn't find out earlier."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits in the ready room, as if utterly curious.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches XAnatos pass her.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> "If I knew he was going to do something like that..."
* Cassandra` enters her ready room and sits at her desk.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna sits not far from Warren... figuring someone might need to have their life protected.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> "I think I would've done more than just insult him."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias scratches his head than looks up at the cieling. "Computer, where is Dragoon Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to glance at Xanatos as he walks by.
* Xanatos glances at Erevis slowly.
<Ariel> 6* Siawase swats Xanatos as they pass, shocking him with electricity through the iron paw.
<DeathStar> <Computer> Dragoon Alpha Cheryl is in the ... Garden?! Oh no, I must be experiencing a virus again.
<Xanatos> GAHH! *he stumbles away from them*
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> *smirks, seeing this*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Garden...what the hell...Are you sure?
<DeathStar> <Computer> Oh dear. Daisy...Daisy..
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks oddly at the cieling than turns running to the garden
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> "You're unbelievable, Xanatos... what the hell were you thinking?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods to Cassandra, not bothernig to explain why he's in there.
* Xanatos moves to get away from them all, making his way for the bridge and into Cass' ready room.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Wait. It was ... Xanatos Durran?
* Ariel simply nods.
<DeathStar> 6* John steps into the ready room, tugging at his collar.
<Cassandra`> Sit,
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva moves back inside her room.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' expression darkens, and she glances down. "Pardon me." 6She bows her head, moving off.
* Xanatos moves over to a seat, sitting down.
<DeathStar> 6* John sits down.
* Seraphna nuzzles him as the movie finishes, looking up at him questioningly.
* Marcus` arcs a brow at her. "I guess I could leave you be now...unless..."
<Cassandra`> Now...Commander McCormick, let's hear it.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> "I wish I could watch this."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps into the garden, moving around looking.
<DeathStar> <John> I have no excuses. I gave Xanatos Durran the King Red's fruit in order to help him ... get past Cheryl's fist in your face reaction to dating.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is sitting on a bench, her cowboy hat tilted over to cover her face, and her glasses hiding if she's even wake or not.
* Seraphna taps her comms, which is resting on teh couch, "...Unless...?"
<Marcus`> Well unless you're over that whole, making out only bit. *he says with a grin*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over to her bench and sits down next to her, resting his one against the back of the bench
<Cassandra`> I see...you realize the ethical concerns this brings up?
<DeathStar> <John> It has been brought to my attention by Shiva.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't even acknowledge Dias.
* Seraphna looks like she's thinking, making the most adorable face, "...Not until the third date."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> How's it going?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm doin' backflips of joy. 6She snaps.
<Cassandra`> You showed lack of judgment.
<DeathStar> <John> Yes, sir.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just crosses his leg and scratches his cheek. "I heard.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Great. Perfect.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Hotaru> "Hey, Em.. how long do you think Xan will last?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I could hurl a wrench at John's head for you, you know to make you feel better.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No thanks. I don't care. Really.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't really understand a lot of these things, but I don't like to see you this way.
<Cassandra`> You have an officer's commission. I need you to set a good example for the crew. I know you're used to being an independent, but things changed the moment you signed on.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What way is that? 6She notes, her tone dropping in tempature.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> This..6He motions. "I enjoyed the Cheryl that made me a man...sort of.
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at Warren, who seems to be studying him through the sniper rifle scope, minus the actual gun. How the fuck does he do that? John turns back to Cass. "Yes, sir."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to face him. "Buzz off."
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna mentally notes that John is supposed to be one of the RANKING officers in the crew. Daggers.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Look Cheryl, you're cool and you're fun. I enjoy being around you cuz you make me laugh and you actually make me enjoy being here.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You just enjoy pain.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I look past the pain. I mean you did get me to stop committing heinous acts of wanton criminal naughtiness.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I was being a bitch and taking what you liked away.
* Marcus` arches a brow, "Very well. Then I guess we'll just have to call date number one an end." he stands up and holds her shirt out to her. "Want me to walk you to your room?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Why?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm a bitch.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Why?
<DeathStar> 6* John swallows a bit. Setsuna is scaring him.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a strangled noise, and stands up. "Forget Warren, I'm getting drunk."
* Xanatos arcs his brow when hears a rumbling, "John is that your stomach?" He eyes John.
<DeathStar> <John> ... 6He eyes Xan like he's insane for talking.
* Xanatos looks from John to Cass. "Oh...sorry." he lowers his head.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Man this whole talking thing is hard when I'm not trying to get something....
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then don't talk. It's easier. 6She steps out of the garden.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pushes off the bench, scratching his head.
<Cassandra`> I have to take disciplinary action to ensure that we do not have a repeat.
<DeathStar> <John> Yes, sir. I understand, sir.
<Cassandra`> I can't afford to keep you confined to quarters, but I will temporarily reassign you for a period in addition to your officer duties.
<DeathStar> <John> Yes, sir.
* Chad`Winters walks through the halls, passing by Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't even acknowledge Chad's existence with disdain.
<Cassandra`> I'll have your assignment on record tomorrow. Dismissed, Commander. *turns her attention to Xan* Now for you...
<DeathStar> 6* John stands up and steps out.
* Chad`Winters stops, scratching his head slightly as he looks back at Cheryl.
* Xanatos looks up at Cass, a frown on his face.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just steps out, moving through the hallways
* Seraphna gets her shirt back on and smiles, being a bit teasing in how slow she gets it back on, grabbign her comms, "...Sure."
<Cassandra`> Do you typically put things in your own mouth that people give you?
<DeathStar> 6* John stands on the bridge, leaning against his seat. "Oh Thank God."
<Xanatos> Uhhh. I don't think?
<Cassandra`> So why do it to Cheryl?
* Marcus` extends his arm. Smiling.
* Seraphna takes it and blushes
* Chad`Winters shakes his head and keeps walking
<Xanatos> Like I said before, I wasn't thinking...I...*he lowers his head* I need to move on so I wont be a bother to Erevis. I thought maybe Cheryl could be the person to help me. But I shouldn't have given her that fruit...honest to god if I would have realized earlier I would have just flushed them.
* Marcus` begins to lead Sera back to her room now.
<Cassandra`> Well...you showed a clear lack of judgment as well. You have to leave your emotional baggage behind you. In this situation, that crap can get people killed.
<Xanatos> I know. Trust me, I know just as much as you, probably even more so. I'm willing to take any punishment you decide, I deserve any beating I get for this.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I'd suggest a one rank demotion for this... but I don't think he can."
<Xanatos> I don't even think I have a rank, honestly.
<Cassandra`> Beating? This is the military, not a gulag.
<Xanatos> Tell that to the occupants of your lovely ship. *he looks up, his face is clearly been hit on*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren studies his face. "They missed a spot."
* Xanatos holds up a hand. "Don't worry, they'll get it later."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias places his hands behind his back and walks down the hallway.
* Seraphna smiles and stops in front of her door, leaning up to give him a soft kiss.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down in the bar, and motions to the new bar attendant to give her rocket fuel.
* Marcus` accepts the soft kiss and returns his own, then smiles. "Have a good day." He slaps her on the ass as he walks away, winking at her.
<Cassandra`> I'll deal with the discipline problems on this ship soon. However, I'm currently restricting you to monitoring duty in securityy as opposed to patrols.
<Xanatos> Yes, sir.
<Cassandra`> And no screw ups. Start learning to use that thing sitting on your shoulders.
<DeathStar> <Warren> That could end bad. 6He says under his breath
* Xanatos stands, "Yes, ma'am. I'm sorry to let you down." he salutes and turns, leaving the ready room.
* Seraphna giggles silently and smiles at him, stepping into her room
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands up after Xan is gone, turning to face Cassandra and Setsuna.
<DeathStar> <John> *looks up at Xan as he steps out* You lived.
* Xanatos tilts his head. "I...think I was promoted..." he looks left, then right. Afraid someone is going to jump out and hit him.
<Cassandra`> If personnel weren't so limited right now... *pinches the bridge of her nose*
<DeathStar> <Warren> We still need to do some drafting to fill our gaps. We can't pull those two off duty.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...we really are tight right now, aren't we?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Very. We need to start compiling names of civilians we want to draft.
* Marcus` moves down the hallway, arms behind his back and a hop in his step, as he passes a female civillian he glances down at her ass and nods with a smile, "Perfect." He says, moving on through the halls.
<Cassandra`> I know.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Anyone you have an eye on?
<Cassandra`> Once we have some more bodies in place, I'll put Xanatos somewhere less disruptive.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Good idea."
* Seraphna lays back and smiles to herself, blushing as she thinks of him.
<DeathStar> 6* John sits in his chair, rubbing his face.
<Cassandra`> We do need to work onc rew discipline and cohesiveness. Just one incident is one too many,
* Xanatos stares at John for a moment. "Yeah, I'm sorry this happened. If you hadn't took pity on me..." He leans against the rail.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the PAX shakes hard. As if hit by a missile or nuke.
<DeathStar> 6* John flips out of his chair.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances up.
* Xanatos grips onto the rail, looking up and around. "What the hell was that?"
* Chad`Winters stumbles agains the wall. He looks up than pulls out his datapad pulling up any information
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias trips and slams into the floor
<DeathStar> 6* The PAX shakes again. The computer begins to warn about possible hull breaches.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns and steps out onto the bridge.
<Xanatos> What the hell. *he looks around, pointing to one of the officers* What's going on?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances up in the bar.
* Chad`Winters begins sprinting for the bridge full speed
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru also rushes for the bridge
<DeathStar> <Warren> What's hitting us? <Officer> Nothing, sir. Nothing is out there.
* Seraphna leaps out of bed, grabbing her gear.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> "I.. should see what's happening. See you later."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Kyouki> *heads for the bridge*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes to stand when suddenly the ship is struck again, and the bar collapses in on itself from damage.
* Seraphna leaps out of her room and runs headlong to the bridge, already sending out orders for emergency repair teams.
* Cassandra` moves out on to the bridge.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Terra> *comm* "What's going on?"
<Cassandra`> Where was the point of impact?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the command board.
<Ariel> Setsuna> *follows Cass*
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's the entire ship at once.
<DeathStar> <John> We'll be torn apart!
* Xanatos looks up at the viewport. "Did we hit some energy field or something??"
* Chad`Winters steps onto the bridge. 1"What's going on?"?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Michiru> *runs up to Em, and clings a bit*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the data. "This is bad. I think we are in an energy field. A trap."
<DeathStar> 6* The PAX rumbles again. Erevis and Siawase go sliding.
* Seraphna rushes onto the bridge, getting to her console.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias falls agains as he struggles to getu p.
<Cassandra`> Get me telemetry on that energy field. All stop.
<Chad`Winters> Stop? Back out the way we came.
* Xanatos narrows his eyes and looks at the viewscreen. "We're sitting ducks if stop."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Too late. Brace for---
<DeathStar> 6* Everything goes white.
* Chad`Winters grabs onto a railing
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru closes her eyes, waiting for the end
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra, Setsuna, Ariel, Hotaru, Chad, Seraphna, Xanatos, Warren, and John find themselves standing in a completely white room - with no boundaries. IS this heaven?
<Xanatos> ...Are we dead?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... that was less painful than I expected."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren considers, then hits Xan with his cane.
<Xanatos> OW!
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
* Chad`Winters glances around, eyeing his surroundings quickly
* Xanatos grumbles. Then looks down. He taps his foot on the "ground."
* Seraphna looks about, tapping her comms, looking frustrated when nothing comes out of it.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Can you still hear me?>
<DeathStar> <John> Oh wow, this is creepy.
* Ariel looks around, confused.
<Seraphna> <Yeah...>
* Chad`Winters looks at Xanatos. 1"I'm glad you were able to prove to us we weren't just falling forever.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru nods a little
<Ariel> Setsuna> *notices a lack of beer* "...are we in hell?"
<Xanatos> I feel like some ominous figure is going to show up...like in those movies...you know...*he eyes everyone*
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Don't invite fate."
* Chad`Winters glance at Warren and nods to Xanatos
<DeathStar> 6* Warren indicates it isn't worth it.
* Xanatos sighs. "Ok, so i'm stupid. I'll shut up now."
* Chad`Winters looks at him blinking.
<Cassandra`> Part of the trap then?
<Ariel> "What happened?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Why just us, anyway?"
<DeathStar> 6* Voices begin to speak, multitudes, but none of them can be comprehended.
<Chad`Winters> That's if this is a trap, it could be another anomaly like when we got stuck in...6He looks around
<DeathStar> <John> Okay, now that's crappy.
* Xanatos makes a face. "..."
<Seraphna> <What the hell is this...?>
* Seraphna looks around nervously
<DeathStar> 6* The voices stop suddenly.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fascinating.
* Xanatos looks left, then right, then behind him, the up.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Well, if I could understand the voices, it'd help."
<DeathStar> <Voice in Basic> Such primitive creatures. Fascinating. <Another Voice in Basic> Such linear motion in their thoughts and existence.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...we better not be on some fucking alien examination table."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... great. The first line I understand is an insult."
<DeathStar> <John> Hey, I'm not primitive.
* Seraphna blinks, looking around. <...We're being studied...>
* Xanatos just laughs. "You people are used to being made fun of obviously."
<Chad`Winters> Basic....Mind scans...
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> < Well, yeah. >
<Xanatos> NRP: aren't*
<DeathStar> <Voice in Basic> Such emotions. Such memories. Delightfully basic and primal.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... what's the deal with calling Ariel primitive, anyway?"
<DeathStar> <John> Oh right, lets shift their focus to Ariel.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "..."
<Xanatos> I think they called us monkies. *he notes*
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's monkeys.
<Seraphna> <They must be far more advanced then Dragoons... and HEY! I'm the new model, aren't I? *she sounds nervous, trying to crack a joke*>
<Ariel> "......"
<Xanatos> Right. *he notes to remember that*
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Yeah, but you're not Ariel.>
<DeathStar> <John> Hey, everyone wants Ariel. It's a universial thing.
* Chad`Winters looks over at John, wondering if they're reading his mind.
* Xanatos glances over at Ariel, tilting his head.
<Cassandra`> Why this group though...?
<Seraphna> <...No I'm not... sorry, bad joke.>
<DeathStar> <Voice in Basic> Ariel? THE Ariel? Fascinating. The point of convergence? 6The voices become unclear again, and in multitiudes.
<Xanatos> Well it can't be because you're the brightest of our group. Or else I wouldn't be here.
<Seraphna> <You'd think she was some kinda celebrity...>
<Xanatos> Unless...I am? *he narrows his eyes*
<DeathStar> <John> I wish I was special.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Oh great. Stupid Hotaru messes up again."
<Chad`Winters> These are the Dark Ones...
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "WHAT?!"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I don't think so, Chad.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Aren't
<Ariel> "...'The' Ariel?"
<Chad`Winters> NRP: AREN'T!
* Xanatos eyes Chad. "You sure ID didn't take some of your brain?"
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Well, we'd probably be dead if they were."
<DeathStar> <Voice in Basic> Fascinating. We selected you out of your crew to live before your ship was destroyed.
* Xanatos suddenly goes pale.
<Chad`Winters> ...Why did you destory our ship?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... you... killed my family...?"
* Seraphna blinks, shaking a little.
<DeathStar> <Voice in Basic> We did not think our shields would...destroy your ship. It was so fragile.
<Cassandra`> What?1
<Ariel> "Wait! What do you mean, the ship was destroyed?!"
<Chad`Winters> Shields? Explain.
<Seraphna> <...H-Hota... this isn't real is it... c-can you feel your bond...?>
* Xanatos looks around. "E...erevi..." he lowers his head.
<DeathStar> <Voice in BAsic. You flew into our experiment.
<Chad`Winters> What kind of experiment
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Maybe you should've put up signs."
* Xanatos tightens his fist, "WHO CARES WHAT KIND OF EXPERIMENT!"
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru attempts to reach Em, to at least check if she's there
<DeathStar> <Voice in Basic> We cannot go into details that your primitive mind could comprehend. We are sorry for your loss.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "..."
<DeathStar> <John> Oh God. Shiva...? Michiru..? 6He falls to his knees.
<Xanatos> You're sorry? SORRY? You did this now you need to fix this!
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "'Sorry' won't bring them back."
* Chad`Winters clenches his fist. 
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> <Voice in Basic> We need do no such thing. It was your error.
<Chad`Winters> You only grabbed us? And not the rest of the crew?
<DeathStar> <Second Voice> We only had time to select a few interesting specimens before your ship was destroyed. Most of you were in one spot as it was.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... IT WAS YOUR EXPERIMENT! YOU DIDN'T BOTHER TO PUT ANY SIGN OF IT!"
* Xanatos looks around, anger on his face. "...if only I could find something to punch." He mumbles.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Don't you dare blame this on us..."
<Chad`Winters> Why? 6His voice holds controlled anger in it
* Seraphna stares at the white "ground", her fist shaking in anger.
<DeathStar> <Voice in Basic> It matters not. Your destiny was, simply, to die. The events of your life brought you to this moment. It was fate.
<Xanatos> Bollocks. *he huffs*
<DeathStar> <Second Voice> You disagree that your decisions led you to this fate?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "There was nothing to decide."
<Xanatos> To the death of an entire ship? I'm something...but i'm not that bad.
<DeathStar> <Voice in Basic> The universe cares not what you do with your lives. In the end, in a predetermined location, you die. Everything your lives were led you to this moment. Hence, there is no reason we should change what occurred.
<Chad`Winters> ....You said we should change...
<Ariel> "This was not how it was ment to be."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I'm with Ariel..."
<DeathStar> <Voice in Basic> Oh? And why is not meant to be, "Ariel"?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes John, who seems to be in a state of shock. He eyes Ariel.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru seems on the verge of breaking down
* Chad`Winters glances over at Ariel, as they seem to be focusing on her.
* Chad`Winters he than looks at Warren, moving over to him.
<Ariel> "Because if this was how things were to be, then it has already contradicted events that were ment to happen. Both cannot be true."
<DeathStar> <Voice in Basic> You speak in illogical circles. Disappointing.
* Chad`Winters leans over to him whispering.
<DeathStar> <Second VOice> Primitive.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... Michiru. The girl from the future that can't now happen."
<Xanatos> Listen. It was your experiment, and we couldn't see it. So it is your fault this happened, you should at least make up for your mistake. If you have the power you should bring them back, because they don't deserve to go this way.
<Cassandra`> Yes...this creates a paradox.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks over at Cassandra, thinking
* Seraphna stands there, unable to speak, just shaking with anger.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6He steps up. "I propose a challenge then."
<DeathStar> <Voice in Basic> He challenges us? <Second Voice> Fascinating.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You say fate is predetermined no matter how actions. Allow us a chance to do things differently. 6He notes, how hard is it not to crash a ship into some energy field.
<DeathStar> (our)
<DeathStar> 6* The voices begin to flutter about again.
* Chad`Winters nods to Warren
* Xanatos crosses his arms, waiting on the verdict.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at the others.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks over to Warren with a slight sense of uncertainty, but with a strange look of trust
<DeathStar> <Voice in Basic> Done. We shall go one step further. We wish to do a new experiment, however. We are going to send you back to the beginning, and see if you can change your own destiny.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren whips around.
* Chad`Winters quirks his eyebrows. "Beginning....?"
<DeathStar> <Voice in BAsic> Yes. Yes, most interesting. Fascinating. Let us begin.
<Xanatos> This is going to be one hellova trip. *he notes with a smirk*
<Ariel> Setsuna> "......"
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the group is standing on what appears to be Earth. However, each of them is transparent.
* Xanatos glances from each person, then looks around, trying to get find something familier about their location.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks around, noting her ghostliness
<DeathStar> 6* John slaps his face, trying to stand. He seems determined now. "Where are we?"
<Chad`Winters> Earth...
<DeathStar> <Warren> We--- 6He glances up at two giant meteor like fireballs heading straight down.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh shit.
<DeathStar> 6* The meteors hit the ground right where they're standing, causing a massive explosive - dirt, earth, wind, fire, energy.
<Cassandra`> ...what?!
* Xanatos just stares, not expecting this.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "What is this?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there as everything passes right through them.
<Cassandra`> ...I get it now...this is THE beginning...
* Chad`Winters shields his eyes instincitively than drops tham as he watchings everything go through him.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Ariel and Wind.
<Ariel> "......"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...what's the point of this?"
* Chad`Winters looks at Warren than nods
<DeathStar> 6* As the dust begins to settle, sure enough - Wind is laying unconscious on the ground, and Ariel is nearby.
<Xanatos> The beginning of our universe.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We could...kill Wind right now. Stop everything.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... how? We're ghosts."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tries to grab Wind, passing through him.
* Chad`Winters leans down moving to try and grab the ground
<DeathStar> 6* Chad misses as well.
<Cassandra`> It reminds me of the Baby Hitler paradox...
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks to Ariel
* Xanatos scratches his head. "Maybe this is just a...intro before we get into the meat of everything?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> .. Ariel.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru glances to Xan. "Maybe. Sometimes you're not an idiot after all."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at her. "Touch your body."
<Ariel> "...we shouldn't be here."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "No, we should be on the PAX, but we're not."
* Seraphna watches on silently, still agry.
<DeathStar> <Warren> If we kill Wind now, we can save a lot of lives.
* Xanatos shakes his head, "I just get this moments." he waves his hands all dramatic-like.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "You think she can enter her body now?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Maybe. She was here at this moment.
<Chad`Winters> We could, but if if this has any impact on the real world....What's going to stop things from happening the way they did?
<Xanatos> Astral Posession or whatever they call it?
<DeathStar> <John> So, inhabit you rpast body? Creepy.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "We will."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Or Ariel, at least."
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at Ariel. As does Warren. As if waiting to see if she'll capitalize on this.
* Xanatos scratches his head, glancing up.
<Chad`Winters> And what if she's just stuck in the state her body is in? Unconsious?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I don't know. But now is the time to find out. I wager Cran and Venerator will be here in 20 mins
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... then... she'll recover in time..."
* Xanatos sighs and looks at Warren. "Look, if you take this guy out now, you'll save Darien's life." He just throws it out there.
<Xanatos> NRP: Ariel*
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... right."
<Xanatos> NRP: Warren? Wtf is wrong with me.
* Ariel hesitates. "I... can't. Not here..."
<Chad`Winters> If she can recover...6He moves over to eye the condition of Ariel's body.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Why not?"
* Xanatos eyes Ariel. "You can't?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Why not?
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel appears to be unconscious, but unharmed. Wind must have protected her on the way down
<Ariel> "...to do so now would save lives, but condemn others close to me." *looks to Hotaru*
* Xanatos crosses his arms, "Least we get to see what happens." He notes.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<DeathStar> <Warren> You're afraid if you kill Wind, that the Dragoons won't be made?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... I... I don't mind dying for such, but... I understand. I want to save my family too..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Nothing says you have to leave here after you stab him.
* Chad`Winters rubs his hands, finally looking back at Ariel and Warren.
<Xanatos> I was always under the impression that the genetic makeup of Dragoons was from the mother. Not Wind. *he notes, scratching his head* Coure i'm dumb.
* Seraphna watches, looking coldly at the murderer of her fiance.
<DeathStar> <John> Of that we can agree.
<Cassandra`> I don't know enough about the situation to decide at this point...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns, hearing the sounds of the approaching vehicles
<DeathStar> <Warren> Cran.
<Xanatos> Hey we could techinically kill Vinnie and stop the entire VI deal too. *he ntoes*
<DeathStar> <Warren> If Ariel killed Venerator, then the dragoons definitely would not be made, and they would kill Ariel.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Not before the dragoons are 'born', please."
<Chad`Winters> They obviously want us to make decisions and make huge changes to judge us. Wether it has any real effect is hard to say.
<Xanatos> Oh I know. I'm just throwing stuff out there.
* Ariel quickly moves to her body... if she's going to do this, she has to try now.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind lays there, cold cocked, a hand reaching out toward Ariel.
<DeathStar> <John> ... I always wanted the chance to fight that bastard again. This seems so cheap.
<Chad`Winters> I don't advise this.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "We do what we have to."
* Ariel hesitates... this... isn't how she remembered him.
<DeathStar> <Warren> .... 6He turns, seeing the outline shapes of vehicles in the distacne.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Ariel... if you're going to, hurry..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... don't do anything you don't want to do, Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's tone has softened.
* Seraphna looks between her mother and Wind, then at Warren.
* Ariel stops. She can't do this... she can't kill someone in cold blood like this. Especially after they protected her. Even if it's to save others... it's not right.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks between Warren and Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods, then glances away.
<DeathStar> <John> ... We'll get him later down the road.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... alright..."
* Xanatos just crosses his arms. "Actually you wont." He says to John.
<DeathStar> 6* The vehicles pull up. A younger Alexander Cran and Vennie Cartwright step out of the car.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Just... won't he be a lot stronge... too late."
* Chad`Winters glances over at the young Alexander Cran, studying him
<Xanatos> Remember what happened. People from the other universe place couldn't touch him...least thats how it was told to me.
<Cassandra`> What do you mean?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "..."
<DeathStar> <Venerator> Jesus. They look like us. <Alexander> ... *Snaps fingers* Check the female's condition. I want to know what race.
<Chad`Winters> Wind was able to control somewhat people from the original universe.
<Xanatos> I wasn't there people I'm just repeating what Kane told me. Don't tell me you all forgot?
<Cassandra`> That's right...
<Xanatos> Ah, at least Chad remembers.
<Cassandra`> Which is why I was doing most of the fighting outside...
<DeathStar> <John> I lost my hand to the bastard. I haven't forgotten. And I will beat him.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I was from the other universe as well... maybe Em..."
* Seraphna watches her father now, a tear escaping her eyes.
* Xanatos just nods to John, not really attempting to argue.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander kneels over Ariel, studying her. "....."
<Xanatos> Cran...Vinnie...we could end alot of the conspiracies that've plague our lives.
<DeathStar> 6* Venerator bends down beside Wind, touching him and feeling a light zap of energy. He seems almost...strange staring down at him.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares at Venerator.
<Chad`Winters> And if wasn't for them Durran, none of us would be where we are today.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> There's something wrong about this, Vennie. And I plan to find out.
<Cassandra`> We would not have been assembled.
<Xanatos> Maybe that's the point.
<Seraphna> <...And I wouldn't have been born...>
<DeathStar> <Venerator> Mmm. Lets get them into research. And take samples of the area. Find out what happened.
<Xanatos> Maybe we aren't supposed to have ever met.
<Chad`Winters> ...Stop talking Quantum Physics, it's out of your field.
<Xanatos> Well damnit this whole thing scares the piss outta me and I talk when I'm nervous so just ignore me if it is bothering you.
<DeathStar> <Venerator> This one - the male. His energy level is starting to rise again. 6He eyes his datapad. "We should seal him until we determine what he is. He could be dangerous."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Fine. The woman looks docile enough. We'll begin with her. 6He stands back as men pick up Ariel and move her to the back of a car.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Xanatos, if we stopped them now, I would never have been born.. let alone Serena."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps up behind Ariel, watching the scene unfolding.
<Ariel> "......"
<Xanatos> I'm not saying it's right. I'm just saying it might be the change that those beings were talking about.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Kill my entire family to save the ship? There has to be a better way."
<DeathStar> <John> I'm sure this isn't the only moment. IT can't be.
<Chad`Winters> Wind is dangerous....If Ariel would've awoken and tries to kill him, he could've awoken early.
<DeathStar> 6* And, just like that they're standing on a military base hanger.
* Chad`Winters blinks, looking around
<DeathStar> 6* An attack drop off ship is being fueled. And standing there is a human Cassandra.
* Xanatos glances at Cass, then looks at the human Cass. "Wow your boobs for tiny then."
* Chad`Winters eyes the body, than looks over at Cassandra than back at the body
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "..." *looks at Cass*
* Cassandra` eyes Xan...
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru then looks to Xan. "No, they are not 'tiny'."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Just because she doesn't have watermelons back then..."
* Xanatos glances from Hota, to Cass. "Comparitvely, sorry."
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... better."
<DeathStar> 6* A human Adam walks up, checking out his gun. He seems energetic. "This is going to be kickass, Lieutenant." 6He says to Cassadnra.
<Cassandra`> ...a difficult question now...
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... *he tries to decide why this moment was picked, then comes to a conclusion*
<Chad`Winters> This is your choice Cassandra.
<DeathStar> <John> Why the heck are we here?
<Chad`Winters> Do you stop yourself from going and possibly lose everything?
<Ariel> Setsuna> *pats Cassandra on the shoulder* "You were still hot back then."
<Xanatos> You would remain fully human if you did. And you could Kill Adam before he goes crazy."
<DeathStar> <Warren> He might ot have gone crazy if he didn't lose his body
<Cassandra`> If I stopped the mission, Adam would never have gone crazy at all...
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Or you could stop him going crazy, maybe?"
<Chad`Winters> And if you do, Adam will probalbly still go and he'll still repeat his history...6He looks at Durran. "Than she goes to jail.
<Xanatos> Oooh good point.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks to Setsuna. "And yeah."
<DeathStar> 6* Adam chats with the human Cassandra about mission parimeters. He looks almost normal. Calm. Friendly.
<Xanatos> So are you unhappy with your life? Because you could fix it now.
<DeathStar> <John> Wow, this is a tough one.
<Cassandra`> I'm not unhappy with my life...but what of the lives of my team...?
<Chad`Winters> I'd say if you wanted to make a noticeable change, tell Adam he can't go on the mission and stop there.
<Xanatos> You could fix all of that right now.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
* Cassandra` glances at Warren...
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Warren?"
<Cassandra`> What's going through your mind?
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's a tough decision. This moment would change a lot, for you - for him - for.. 6He glances at Serena, then ahead. "For a lot of people."
<DeathStar> <Warren> The question is do you want to change history?
<Cassandra`> But is it the right decision...is it the right moment to change history...?
<Seraphna> <He raped me... used me...>
<Xanatos> What other moment are you looking for?
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll never know if it was the right moment to change history. Is it the right moment for you to change your history?
<Cassandra`> Given our team's mision profile, we could very well have ended up dying on the next one...
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Who? Adam?>
<Seraphna> <*nods*>
* Seraphna nods
<Seraphna> NRP: Typo of the day.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... but... isn't it worth it...?"
<Cassandra`> And I know that I probably would never have been transferred to PAX either...
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <If Cass stops the mission, Adam wouldn't have gone crazy...>
<Xanatos> Then you stop this mission and it happens down the line. Maybe those being were right, you can't change destiny.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You weren't hired to PAX simply because of your body, CAssandra.
<Seraphna> <A lot would change... for the better...>
<DeathStar> <Warren> You were picked because of who you are.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "I don't know... I think Cass turned out alright, even with how things went."
<Chad`Winters> Hindsight is 50/50...
<DeathStar> <John> I kinda like the robo body.
<Cassandra`> True...
<Ariel> "That's 20/20, Chad."
<Xanatos> This isn't just about Cass. Adam did a lot of evil.
<Xanatos> Killed a lot of innocents.
* Chad`Winters glances at Ariel and just nods. He's obviously in very deep thought
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra and Adam turn, beginning to walk toward their ship.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Yeah... I... I think you should change it..."
<Xanatos> I think Cass should do what her heart tells her to do.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...it's her choice."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Agreed.
<Cassandra`> Well...let's see how this goes then... *salutes the group* ...in case something goes wrong...its been an honor. *moves in after her own self to switch places*
<Ariel> Setsuna> *prays*
* Xanatos crosses his arms now, interested to see what Cass is going to do.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra's transparent self slips into her human body, and instantly, she's in it. Back as a human. Breathing as a human.
<Chad`Winters> This....6He looks at Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* And she can no longer see the others.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fascinating.
<DeathStar> 6* Adam keeps walking along, checking out his gun one last time.
<Cassandra`> ...wait...something is wrong here...
<DeathStar> 6* Adam turns around. "Wrong?"
* Cassandra` pulls out her datapad and brings up the intel.
<DeathStar> <Adam> Are you geting cold feet, Cassie? 6He jokes.
<Cassandra`> I just realized.these two reports are contradictory...
<DeathStar> 6* Adam blinks, stepping back to look.
<DeathStar> <Adam> No shit. Hunh.
<Cassandra`> This shows the standard deployment of Ridarium forces...they are just like stone...never changing...so why is the mission site so different?
<DeathStar> <Adam> ... *looks grim* I don't know. But if you're right, this could have been bad for us.
<DeathStar> <Adam> You think someone set us up?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren crosses his arms
<Cassandra`> If the stoneheads are in their standard deployment instead of this one, we'd be going into a killing field...right into optimal range of their heavy stuff.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It looks so easy.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "You think it's not?"
<DeathStar> <Adam> Christ. Fuck. Well, what do we do?
<Chad`Winters> No, I don't think it is. 6He stands up. "I'm worried about the consequences.
<DeathStar> <John> Hey, you think that Adam will marry Cassandra now?
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "The consequences are that things will change..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> But if those who are playing this game, in the end, our changes are meaningless.
<Chad`Winters> What if we're being judged by these beings?
<DeathStar> (are right)
<Cassandra`> The mission needs to be suspended until this gets reevaluated.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Then, as always, we must endeavour to do the right thing."
<DeathStar> <Adam> Aye aye, sir. I'll be glad to go tell those pencil pushers where to shove it . 6He salutes.
<Xanatos> Then we should just do what we think is right, and if the changes are meaningless or being judged, then we'll have to deal with that then.
<Cassandra`> Carry on then!
<DeathStar> 6* Adam turns and marches off.
* Chad`Winters looks at Xanatos and shakes his head. "And what if you get to decide between stopping Katrina from coming on that mission?
<DeathStar> <John> ...Katrina...
<Cassandra`> ...well...that's it then...?
* Xanatos glances at Chad, then at John. "Right, because i'm that impulsive."
<DeathStar> 6* They are standnig on the street of a colony. Cassandra is back in transparent form. It appears her changes are on hold for now.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... I... wonder if I'll see Garland...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, glancing around. "...." 6He looks pale.
<Xanatos> Who?
<Chad`Winters> No because you're an idiot....6He pauses looking around.
* Xanatos glances at Warren. "10 bucks says I know who this is for."
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
* Chad`Winters eyes Xanatos dangerously than stands up looking at Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* A young Warren Carmichael steps out of a shop, waving at some military buddies. He grins as they ask him to come out and party. <Warren> No thanks. I just spent all my money on this. 6He holds up a wedding ring.
<Ari[AWAY]> Setsuna> *looks... nervous. Worried. Dreading*
* Ariel has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Ari[AWAY])))
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<Seraphna> <...I know this place... somehow...>
* Xanatos frowns suddenly. "Oh..."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks about to cry
<DeathStar> 6* One of the officers whistles. "You spoil that woman."
<Cassandra`> I don't feel any different now...
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks to Cass "... maybe you saved Adam..."
<Cassandra`> We'll see...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rubs his face.
<Xanatos> We probably wont know until the end. Beings like love to rant and say how stupid we are and how much we messed up. *he says with a wave of his hand*
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...even if things turn out different. We're still pals, right Cass?"
<Chad`Winters> ...How many beings like that have you actually met Xanatos?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hey, I'll do anything for love. You should try it, bozo. 6He shoves his friend playfully.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... he was so different then..."
<DeathStar> 6* The transparent Warren turns away,unable to bring himself to look
* Chad`Winters eyes the young Warren than looks at Warren.
* Xanatos just shrugs.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Warren..."
<DeathStar> 6* The young Warren waves his friends off, then moves down the street, pausing at a street vendor selling flowers. He begins to eye them, picking out the best ones.
<Chad`Winters> So what do you plan on doing Warren?
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Xanatos> You could save them all. *he notes*
<DeathStar> 6* The colony shakes. Alarms begin to sound. An attack. A surprise attack.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lifts his head, as does his counter part.
<Chad`Winters> He could save his fiance at the most, not everyone.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Ariel.,
<Xanatos> He's Warren. He can do damn near anything.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... that's a life saved, though."
<DeathStar> <John> ...
* Ariel looks to Warren. She has an understanding expression, but says nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns and begins to run toward his counter part.
<DeathStar> <John> Christ JEsus, he's actually going for it.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru smiles to Warren, then looks to Ariel
<Chad`Winters> This is the point that made him who he was.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru doesn't seem sure what to say
<Xanatos> Wouldn't you do the same for Shiva? *he glances at John*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren touches his counter part's body, slipping inside. He takes a moment, standing there as he tests his younger body, then turns, moving for where he knows the final battle wll be.
<DeathStar> <John> ...but I thought he loved... 6He trails off, eyeing Ariel.
<Chad`Winters> It's hard to let go John.
* Xanatos shakes his head and moves after Warren. He has to see what happens.
* Chad`Winters moves following after Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* John follows.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Ariel.. are you alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* The colony shakes and citizens begin to run around.
* Ariel doesn't let herself fall behind. She's... torn.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru sticks with Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* Warren arrives just in time to witness the beginning of Cheryl's Dragon Mech form battling a giant Ridarium Warrior Weapon. They are like titans, slugging it on. And Cheryl is wild with her aggression.
* Chad`Winters eyes the battle going on. "If he dies tho...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stops, eyeing his fiancee across the way, caught in the way of the battle. He stands there.
<Xanatos> Wow. Cheryl is scary.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Yeah..."
<Xanatos> I must be retarded for wanting to try and date her...
<DeathStar> <John> He's stopped. Why is he stopping?
<Seraphna> <...It was this fight that doused the fires that made Cheryl the beast she was in battle... and this battle was the cover for my origins...>
<Xanatos> Maybe he changed his mind?
<Chad`Winters> That or he realized if he goes he might die with her.
<DeathStar> 6* A piece of the building is knocked off, spinning down toward the woman. Warren tenses as it smashes it on her.
* Chad`Winters turns his head away.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <...>
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hurries, sliding to the side. She's still alive, but it's clear she won't be for long. He kneels there, grabbing her hand. "Hey. Hey, baby." 6He says, his voice shaking. "I'm here."
* Xanatos lowers his head. "Not what I expected him to do..."
<Seraphna> <...Warren...>
* Chad`Winters looks back at Warren. 1"So he just wanted to say goodbye..." He just nods.
<DeathStar> 6* He squeezes her hand. "It'll be okay. I'll make everything better." 6He pulls out the box. "I bought you something. Thought of you the moemnt I saw it." 6He ignores the sounds of Cheryl burying the dragoon through the ground.
<DeathStar> (Er Ridiarum)
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... Warren..."
* Cassandra` sighs...bowing her head...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren slips the ring on, and holds her hand as she dies. "We would have had a beautiful baby girl." 6He says softly. He glances up, taking a deep breath.
<DeathStar> 6* John rubs his face, noticing that off to the side Cheryl has gone back to normal, staring in horror at the death she caused. She literally seems floored.
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Her pilot hangs bac, keeping his back to the scene, obviously not caring.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... I get it... he couldn't let Cheryl keep going on like that though..."
<Xanatos> Man. That guys is a dick. *he notes*
* Chad`Winters glances over at the pilot and Cheryl.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Ari[AWAY])))
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* The scene fades and they find themselves in an engine room. Of the PAX station.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, transparent again, stands up, staring at his own hand.
* Chad`Winters eyes the engine room, narrowing his eyes
<DeathStar> 6* John goes to speak when suddenly a mini epxlosion jerks his eyes over. Chad is beating ARiel back.
<Xanatos> Hey this place looks familiar.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "Damn it Chad, stop yourself!"
<Chad`Winters> This is where I tried to kill Ariel...
<Xanatos> Yeah you could stop yourself.
<Chad`Winters> I can't....If I do, than Id will never be knocked out and I won't be in control.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren kneels there, ignoring the battle occurring.
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms, watching the scene before him.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... I... guess."
<Xanatos> Then maybe Ariel should kill you. Spare us the problem of you and your stupid Id.
* Chad`Winters glances over at Xanatos than moves over to Warren, kneeling beside him. 1"You ok?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
<Xanatos> Hey I thought it sounded like a good idea. *he says with a shrug*
<Chad`Winters> I didn't think so.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru looks over to Warren concernedly
<Seraphna> <...Stop Id from hurting her and let her knock you out... damnit...>
<DeathStar> 6* Chad and Ariel prepare for their final strikes.
<Chad`Winters> Her intentions weren't to just stop me...She would've killed me.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, XAnatos and the others are trying to get to the engine rom
<Ariel> "......"
* Xanatos narrows his eyes. "Hmmm."
<DeathStar> 6* BOOM. Ariel and Chad go down. But Chad gets back up.
* Chad`Winters places his hand on Warren's shoulder.
<DeathStar> <John> Christ, Chad was a tough cockroach.
<DeathStar> 6* And Katrina and Chad begin to fight.
<Xanatos> Kat gives him a good what for. *he notes, watching*
<DeathStar> <John> That's my sister.
<Xanatos> Brilliant as always. *he says with a nod*
* Seraphna watches, her eyes are only focused on the damaged Ariel.
<Chad`Winters> It was Kat that finally took me down.
* Chad`Winters moves his head, looking into Warren's eyes
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands up, removing emotions from his face.
<DeathStar> 6* And so it happens. Katrina zaps the fuck out of Chad.
* Chad`Winters just stands up with Warren, patting him on the shoulder and turning to face the scene before them
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "So... what needs to change?"
<DeathStar> <John> I guess somene could go hack up Chad if they wanted.
<DeathStar> <John> Too late to save Ariel now.
<Seraphna> <I think it's come and gone already...>
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <...>
<DeathStar> <John> The next time we see her is during the Dragoon War.
<Seraphna> <Now because of this, Spade rebuilds her in time for my awakening. The Dragoon Wars start.>
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <... yeah...>
<Chad`Winters> So does this mean we go and kill Serena the first chance to stop her from putting Ariel in harms way?
* Seraphna glares at Chad
<DeathStar> 6* And as if on cue, they find themselves on a planet, with Omega Seraphna is attacking and killing Dragoons
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "... you'd like that, wouldn't you."
<DeathStar> <John> Well, uh, here's your chance.
<Chad`Winters> Just as much as you guys would've liked to kill me back than.
* Xanatos looks around, looking for Kane.
* Chad`Winters stands up, obviously no care on his face.
* Ariel just watches. Hoping Seraphna has the decency to do the right thing here.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> <Sera. Your moment.>
<Xanatos> Maybe someone could tell Kane about the bomb...
* Seraphna looks to them, and nods, moving unquestioningly to her own self.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and the others can be seen battling Betas.
<DeathStar> <John> ... *smacks Xan*
<DeathStar> <John> Hey, Kane, you're going to die in 2 years on this date at this way. Yeah, sure, he'll totally comphrehend that.
<Xanatos> He's a smart kid. *shrugs*
<DeathStar> <John> ... Smart enough to not believe you
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms again, watching the scene before him.
<DeathStar> 6* The first Dragoon is about to die.
<Xanatos> It might save his life!
* Seraphna takes over her own body, the Betas attacking the Dragoon suddenly veer off.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly Sera demorphs and Spade and Sera go crashing down
<DeathStar> <Warren> The hell---?
<Ariel> "...she's not in synch with Spade."
* Seraphna concentrates, bringing herself back in sync
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps at Sera, going for the kill.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "I wouldn't expect her to be."
<DeathStar> 6* It doesn't happen. Spade stares at her, his eyes widening. "Who the hell are you?"
<Chad`Winters> She's going to lose Spade now...
* Seraphna leaps out of the way, "Don;t ask, we need to reform the bond."
<Seraphna> "It's me, trust me."
<Xanatos> Ariel you need to stop the Dragoons.
<Xanatos> NRP: Wait is Ariel there?
<DeathStar> <Spade> ... 6He steps away. He tilts his head.
<DeathStar> NRP: Yeah, she was there.
<DeathStar> NRP: All of us were.
<Xanatos> Ariel. Stop this war now.
<Seraphna> "Please, William!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hisses. "I got you now, bitch." 6She tackles Serena.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru moves for her own body
<Chad`Winters> Ariel, stop Cheryl.
* Seraphna leaps, using skill she didn't have before, tossing her away with a throw Spade would know.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade aims at Cheryl's head.
<Seraphna> "Spade no!"
* Ariel spent the whole fricken war trying to prevent the fighting... if she needs to step in to make herself do the right thing... =P
<Seraphna> "I am making my descision!"
<DeathStar> <Spade> ....
* Seraphna toses her aside and moves back over to him. "Resync, we are ending this."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Heh. Of all the futures I could predict, I never predicted this.
<Seraphna> "Greatness comes in many forms, this is senseless."
<DeathStar> <Spade> But no. I can't. It would ruin the bond I have now.
* Cassandra` has left #taw
* Seraphna looks at him, nodding in understanding.
<Seraphna> "Then we'll have to find another way."
<Seraphna> "...You were always too smart..."
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru takes over her own body, and moves forward to defend... well, everyone but Spade
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops, as it seems no one knows what's going on. The past PAX group glance at each other.
<Seraphna> *The Betas stand down.
<DeathStar> <Warren> She managed to make this even more confusion.
<Chad`Winters> Surprised?
* Xanatos peers at himself, "Damnit I don't think i'm ugly." he mumbles.
<DeathStar> <John> I always love the smell of anarchy.
* Ariel nods. She didn't expect better... but her people are alive.
<Seraphna> *They form in a defensive ring.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "There's no need to fight any more."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel calls off her people - having not taken the drug given to her it seems.
* Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru nods to Ariel
* Seraphna looks to Spade, "She wants this, she never wanted people to die."
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> That drug....That was key wasn't it Warren?
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... It was.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It allowed her to form a connection with the Alphas like Sera could.
<Chad`Winters> This won't bode well at all.
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
<DeathStar> <John> But we saved 4 lives today. 4 more Dragoons.
* Xanatos frowns, "I don't think she made the wrong choice."
<Chad`Winters> But what will be lost in the end?
<DeathStar> 6* Before Warren can answer, they're standing on the planet Erevis. The ceremony is ending adn everyone is retiring to their rooms
* Seraphna calls out, "I'm calling for a cease fire! Everyone stand down and let's solve this... peacefully!"
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses, then puts two and two together.
<Dragoon_Alpha_Hotaru> "A bit late, aren't you?"
* Chad`Winters looks over at Serena, shaking his head
* Seraphna blinks, looking about.
* Xanatos widens his eyes. "Oh no."
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Seraphna blinks and tries again, no sound coming out. <Well damn.>
* Chad`Winters looks at Xanatos. 1"So tell me Durran, who do you really love more again?"
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<DeathStar> <John> Katrina.... Katrina!
<DeathStar> 6* He dashes right through her as she walks toward her room
<Chad`Winters> Erevis helped us against Wind, just remember that.
<DeathStar> <John> .. 6He eyes Xanatos in a panic.
* Xanatos narrows his eyes. "..."
<DeathStar> Session Ends
