Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20070410.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-585.10.16
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands on the bridge with his officers. The PAX has finally arrived back at the place where, once they go one way with the Light Engine, they'll arrive in the other reality.
* Alicia is now known as Terra
* Chad`Winters stands beside Warren, leaning against the railing
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands there, arms crossed. She's dressed in her uniform, as is Zephyr to her side. Warren stands tehre, eyeing the battle map.
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
* Ariel has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Ari[AWAY])))
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
<Seraphna> *Airier stands there is uniform, well, what he's put together as one at any rate.
* Terra stands on the bridge, waiting
<Terra> <Hotaru> *sits at her station on the bridge, looking nervous*
<DeathStar> <Warren> We have enough power for about 5 jumps with the Light Engine. So we have to time this perfectly.
<Chad`Winters> Understood. 6He closes his eyes, as readies himself
<DeathStar> <Warren> Everyone to battle stations. Our first jump, we'll be scanning the planet, and the surrounding area, so we can learn where everything is positioned. I want you to immediately re-engage the Light Engine once we arrive, as it'll take 30 seconds to warm up. Once we get back here, we'll decide on our final plan.
<DeathStar> 6* A yellow alert sounds.
* Chad`Winters moves over to his station.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Engage the Light Engine. 6He tells Chad.
<Seraphna> *Airier readies himself, not having much of a station
* Chad`Winters slidesh is hand over the terminal, engaging the Light Engines
<DeathStar> 6* A 30 second timer appears.
<DeathStar> 6* It begins counting down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms a bit, glancing at Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grips the railing as it reaches 5 seconds.
* Chad`Winters braces himself
<Terra> "Here goes. Time to make the impossible possible."
<DeathStar> 6* 0 seconds. The PAX vanishes. It reappears near the desert planet of Old Earth.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Begin scanning the planet and the surrounding area. Get the countdown going.
<DeathStar> 6* Three Dark Ships orbitting the planet begin to turn slowly to face PAX.
* Chad`Winters begins the countdown
<DeathStar> 6* A 30 second timer appears.
* Chad`Winters hits the scanners.
<DeathStar> 6* The PAX ships begin to close in.
<DeathStar> 6* The scans begin to identify a Dark Ship hovering over the planet, as well as lifeforms that match the number of the team that went away.
<Ariel> Em> *watches the screen*
<Chad`Winters> There all there, sir.
<DeathStar> 6* Then it reads 600 Dark Ones surrounding them.
<Chad`Winters> Warren, they're surrounded by atleast 600 Dark Ones.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ships launch their massive tendrils at the PAX. 3 seconds . 2 seconds. 1 second. The PAX jumps.
<DeathStar> 6* They reappear back in their main reality
<DeathStar> <Warren> I see. This is going to be tricky.
<Terra> "Well, that's the first part done."
* Chad`Winters turns to look at Warren now
<Ariel> Em> "That's... a lot of enemies."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there, thinking.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We don't have a lot of time. We have about 30 mins before they follow us back here.
* Ari[AWAY] has joined #taw
* Ari[AWAY] has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Ariel` has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, we can't fight all those Dark Ships and win. Even with our upgrades.
<Chad`Winters> No, that'd be impossible.
<Seraphna> "Pinch and run?"
<Seraphna> Airier>
<Terra> "I'll make the impossible possible for you, like I said."
<DeathStar> <Warren> We need to nab the team and get out as quickly as possible. Teleporting won't work. ... wait.
<Terra> <Hotaru> *eyes Terra, wondering if she's insane*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps over, doing some calculations on his datapad.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll jump into the atmosphere of the planet and let PAX drop. We'll engage your Fire Rune adaptor to power up the PAX for one shot. Hit the Dark Ship over the team at an angle we cna crash it without hurting the team. Then we'll launch two gears while the ship drops. Zephyr and I will carry teleport pads that will allow for long range teleporting. The PAX will then do a V-Light Jump behind the moon.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll set up the pads, and we'll teleport everyone to the PAX. Then we use our fifth jump to get back to our reality and out.
<Ariel`> Em> "...sounds risky."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, unless you want to fight all of them...
<Chad`Winters> But it's our best option.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Alright. Hotaru and Em, head to the hanger. This is going to be a hot jump. 6He notes seriously, as if the pun wasn't intended. Or ignored by him.
* Chad`Winters stands up, moving over to stand beside Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Chad, the bridge is yours. Once I give the comm signal, teleport us to the PAX, then I'll contact you by comm again to jump out.
<Terra> <Hotaru> *nods, as if an unspoken request was answered*
<Chad`Winters> Understood.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *sighs a bit, not liking the fact her sisters are doing this*&
<DeathStar> <Warren> Timing is everything.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Cheryl, offers a single nod, then moves to step out with Zephyr.
<Seraphna> *Airier catches Hotaru genttly by her shoulder, "Be careful."
* Chad`Winters sits down in the captains chair.
<DeathStar> 6* It gives Chad +5 authority
<Ariel`> 6* Em heads to the hangar
<Terra> <Hotaru> "Of course." *heads down to the hangar with Em*
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> This beauty wasn't designed for this sort of thing...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes a detour to get the necessary equipment.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks along beside Hotaru and Em for the hanger. "I hope Ariel is okay."
* Terra looks impatient, somehow. "What should I be doing?"
<Chad`Winters> No she's not, but she'll have to today.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl plops down in the XO's chair.
<Chad`Winters> Ready for this Cheryl?
<Terra> <Hotaru> "I hope so too.."
<Ariel`> Em> *nods* "I'm sure she is... she's tough."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not much I'm going to be doing here.
<Chad`Winters> Nothing for now Terra.
<Terra> "But..."
<Terra> <Hotaru> "You're right."
<Chad`Winters> You heard the Captains orders.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps into the hanger, taking a deep breath as she moves to the edge of it, glancing out at the stars.
<Terra> "Just sitting tight and doing nothing..." *pauses, considering something*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits there, a look of worry on her face, tapping her fingers idlely on the arm of the chair
<Chad`Winters> Than get us tea. 6He dismisses her and glances at the terminal next to him, eyeing the Rune Weapons Adapter System
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into the hanger, wearing a black trenchcoat, and a large backpack.
<Terra> "... that won't bring them back."
<Seraphna> Airier> "There are times you simply help by hoping."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Alright, lets bond here before we make the jump. 6He tells Hotaru and Em.
<Chad`Winters> Either will getting in the way, Terra. For now relax or I'll have you escorted off the bridge.
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> Alright, I have the jump coords ready to dump us into what should be the atmosphere.
<Terra> "... when did I start caring about this sort of thing, anyway?"
* Ariel has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Warren puts a hand on Zephyr's shoulder. She nods once and the two make the mech.
<Chad`Winters> When you became an officer. Good Tom.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns the mech toward Em and Hotaru. "As in do it now."
* Ariel` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Ariel> 6* Em prepares to kick some Darkone ass with Hotaru... completely devoid of anything that'd increase the rating of the series, and attract censors.
<Terra> <Hotaru> *prepares, transforming*
<DeathStar> <Warren on Comm> Jump now. Then inform us when we should exit the ship.
<Chad`Winters> Countdown Tom.
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> 30 seconds. 6He hits the button. "Think we'll have enough time to jump back out before we crash?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *Grumbles*
<Chad`Winters> How far away do you have us set to appear from their ship?
<DeathStar> <Pilot> I really can't say. This isn't an exact science.
<Chad`Winters> When we appear, activate the Rune Weapon and begin moving towards their ship.
<DeathStar> 6* The hanger crew watches the two mechs.
<DeathStar> <PIlot> OH, gravity will be doing all the moving, sir. We'll be dropping like a rock.
<DeathStar> 6* 4 seconds.
<DeathStar> 6* 3 seconds.
<DeathStar> 6* 2 seconds.
<DeathStar> 6* 1 seconds.
<DeathStar> 6* The PAX jumps.
<DeathStar> 6* It reappears in twilight, and begins to drop rapidly, building up heat.
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot reaches over, turning on the Rune Weapon.
<Chad`Winters> Activate the Rune Weapon, get the scanners and find us our target.
<Xanatos> * Marcus stands in the hanger, watching the two mechs.
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> Scanners are...haywire, sir. I ... think the PAX is suffering hull damage. Oh, um, found it. Directly under us
<Chad`Winters> Try to readjust our fall. How long till impact?
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> 35 seconds until we hit the planet.
<Chad`Winters> Activate the V-Jump.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Countdown.
* Ariel` has joined #taw
* Chad`Winters taps his comm, waiting.
<DeathStar> <PIlot> Activating
<Terra> <Hotaru> *prepares mentally, waiting for launch orders*
<DeathStar> 6* The entire ship shudders, throwing everyone around
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> JUMP!
<Xanatos> *Marcus hits the ground sliding across the hanger floor.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: IGNORE THAT
* Chad`Winters grips tightly on his chair
<Terra> NRP: *ignores Marcus*
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Panicking much?
<Seraphna> *Airier holds his ground along the railing. "Fun."
<Chad`Winters> Fire the Rune Weapon.
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot reaches over and hits a button
<DeathStar> 6* A beam shoots out of the PAX into the Dark Ship head on. The Dark Ship is knocked down.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Jump now.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren points Hotaru and Em. "Go."
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot grips his controls.
<Chad`Winters> What's our status on the V-Jump behind the moon?
<Terra> <Hotaru> *launches out*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leaps out.
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> Um, not sure...sir... hard to... move.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth. "Jesus, 10 more seconds."
<Chad`Winters> Come on Tom....
* Terra heads over.
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> We're jumping...now!
<DeathStar> 6* The PAX vanishes and reappears behind the moon. The jolt knocks everyone to the point of blacking out
<Xanatos> *Marcus struggles up to a knee. Then falls forward, slamming into the floor of the hanger.
* Chad`Winters slumps back then snaps forward. 1"Get crews to start dealing with any damages.
<Chad`Winters> I want the teleporter to be ready.
<Seraphna> Airier> "Grrr..." *shakes his head, steadying himself*
<DeathStar> 6* Tom PIlot drools on his cnsole
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds her head.
<Terra> "Good luck-" *falls to the floor, seemingly about to faint* "...charm..."
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<Seraphna> Airier> "Someone wake up Tom."
* Terra does her best to wake Tom Pilot
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot wakes up, grabbing Terra's right boob. "Thanks for the shoulder."
<Seraphna> *Airier shakes his head.
* Terra punches him in the face for the boob-grab
* Chad`Winters taps his comm. 1"Myria, prepare the teleporters."
<DeathStar> 6* Tom is knocked back out
<Chad`Winters> Cheryl, what's our damage status?
<Terra> "... wonderful."
<Seraphna> Airier> "Anyone else qualified to fly this thing?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Superficial. 6She eyes the readouts.
<DeathStar> 6* SCENE SWITCH
<DeathStar> Location: Old Earth
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pulls out her beam cannon, firing into a mass of Dark Pets to add to the confusion.
* Ariel has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans over to glance at the team.
* Seraphna smiles, feeling that familiar feeling, <Alright sis!>
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands there, staring.
<Terra> <Hotaru> *moves forward to engage the pets, firing* <Yeah... just... a bit busy.>
* Dias falls to his knee's, sweat covering his face as he breathes heavily
<Terra> <Kyouki> *is busy gibbering and shaking*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Alright, Zephyr, lets head to the group while Hotaru keeps them busy.
* Xanatos is standing there, tired and dirty, but his pistols are still in his hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns and flies toward the group.
* Ariel` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Seraphna puts a hand on Xan's shoulder and smiles.
* Ariel watches Zephyr approach, looking relieved and proud.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lands before the group.
<DeathStar> 6* Then turns back to normal. Warren hits the sand, pulling off the black trench coat and tossing it to her, and she pulls it on. It seems they worked that down to perfect synch
* Jackieness is now known as Myria
* Xanatos nods to Sera.
* Terra is now known as Michiru
<Dias> Zephyr...6He struggles to push himself into a stand, stumblign slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms a beam rifle and fires it at the Dark Pets.
* Michiru watches, seeming a little stunned
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hurries over, eyeing everyone. "Where is John and Erevis?" 6He ignores X3 and Darien.
* Seraphna smiles, admiring Zephyr's flight.
* Myria is now known as Cassandra`
* Xanatos pulls up his pistols and begins to just fire into the pets, hoping to help Zephyr in keeping them off. He frowns at the mention of the two names.
* Seraphna sighs a little and looks down.
<Dias> John's...John's dead.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ....
<Michiru> "And... Wind took Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Are they still on planet?
* Seraphna puts a comforting hand on Michi's shoulder.
<Michiru> "I don't know..."
<Xanatos> We don't know. *he adds*
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6He pulls off the backpack, then opens it up, slapping down teleportation boost pads around the group. He remains silent, but he seems agnry.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches Warren, noting he seems the same as ever.
<Ariel> "...it's good to see you're both safe at least."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr offers Ariel a smile as she fires.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his comm, contacting Hota. "Alright, you two split up and get back into the pad."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren slaps down the last booster pad.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren then pulls out his dual pistols and fires into the Dark Pets as he waits for Hotaru and Em to get back to him.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *breaks off from combat, doing as ordered*
* Seraphna joins her firepower and accuracy into the fight, guns firing.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holsters one pistol, and grabs his comm to contact the ship. "Teleport us up."
<Cassandra`> 6* Myria activates the teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6* The team vanishes in a beam of light and reappears in a modifyed teleporter room.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <Something wrong, Sera?>
<DeathStar> 6* A random ensign oogles Hotaru's nude body
<Dias> <Comm> Warren, are we go?
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *covers herself up again, looking for something to wear*
<DeathStar> <Warren on Comm> Negative.
* Ariel` has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr enjoys her trench coat.
<Dias> <ChadComm> Explain.
* Xanatos glances at Warren, pulling off his coat and reaching it out towards Hotaru, looking away from her.
<DeathStar> <Warren on Comm> Later. Hold position. 6He clicks off.
* Seraphna shoves the ensign away from her sister.
<Seraphna> <John's dead.>
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Guhhhh..." *shudders a little, not quite as incomprehensible now*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren then contacts Peace. "We have a few people who are suffering from dehyrdation and sunstroke. Get down here and help them."
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *suddenly looks shocked* <What?!>
* Dias moves off the pad and plops down on his ass, his head slumping down.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *heads down*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Ariel a moment.
* Seraphna looks down, <He... he sacrificed himself for the team...>
<DeathStar> 6* Then Warren hops off the pad and moves for the bridge.
<Seraphna> <Just after... just...>
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Seraphna wipes away tears.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands there quietly.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> <...> *looks like she doesn't know whether to praise or insult John*
* Ariel` heads after Warren. A lot had happened.
<Cassandra`> Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong on that one.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr follows after Ariel and Warren
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6He takes a breath, then follows.
<Seraphna> <I thought you were dead... I nearly... we all...>
* Xanatos just drops his dirty coat, deciding Hotaru didn'
* Seraphna sits down on the edge of the pad, shaking.
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *puts the coat on, hurriedly*
* Dias begins snoring slightly as he sleeps.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps onto the bridge. "Scan for hyperspace energy."
* Dias is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Warren.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I... I'm sorry... I was useless again..."
* Chad`Winters nods and stands up, moving over to his terminal, quickly scanning for it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps in after Warren, wearing his trench coat.
* Xanatos just sits down off of the teleporter pad, coughing a little roughly. "I think i've ate a ton of dirt..." he notes with a frown.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps up beside Chad, eyeing the scans.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *heads after Ariel*
<Chad`Winters> ....So he is here, then.
<DeathStar> 6* The scanners locate him near the position of the burnt rainforest. A human life sign with him.
<Michiru> <Peacemaker> *arrives, providing medical care to those who need it*
* Seraphna looks over at Xan, eyes wet.
* Ariel` eyes the sensors, "...you found him?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jumps as he's doctored on, eyeing Peacemaker evilly*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps in, hanging off to the side.
* Xanatos places a hand on her shoulder. "You need to be strong. We can grieve when we are safe."
* Seraphna nods softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Ariel, offering a meek smile.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva steps into the teleporter room, looking around. 1"Where's John?"
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Ariel.. sorry.."
* Xanatos gently touches her chin, "He knew what he was doing. Don't let it be in vain."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
* Ariel` looks to Kyouki
<DeathStar> <Warren> John is dead, Chad. And it seems Erevis was taken by Wind.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I'm still useless there."
<Cassandra`> Looks like there's been some changes around here. *looks around*
* Xanatos looks up at Shiva and then just looks away, not having the heart to tell her.
<Ariel`> Setsuna> "...I hope they didn't touch my stuff." *resisting the urge to stop off to find bigger ammo*
* Chad`Winters turns his head to look into Warren's eyes, studying him. 1"I see....So this other human is Erevis than."
<DeathStar> <Warren> More than likely.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "When are we going to rescue her?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva stares at Xanatos, eyeing him. 1"What? Where is he Durran?"
* Seraphna looks down at the floor, trying not to cry anymore.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Going back for Erevis would be too dangerous. We should leave before your enemy finds this ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick steps onto the bridge, cupping his hands together as he listens
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Are you asking me to just abandon her? I can't do that..."
* Ariel` looks to Darien, "Just abandon her?"
* Xanatos stares at the ground, he frowns before glancing up, "John...didn't...make it..." He slowly manages to say.
<DeathStar> <Darien> There's tons of those things between you and her, and Wind is with her. We would lose more people trying to get her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Darien coldly.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I'll remember that if you're ever in danger."
<Chad`Winters> It'd be dangerous to go after her Warren. The timing would have to be to the nano-seconds. We'd have to jump before he could Hyperspace to us.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You should.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
<Chad`Winters> 6A look of doubt falls onto Shiva's face. 1"Real funny Durran, where the hell is he."
* Michiru sighs, staring at the floor
* Ariel has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Dominick> I agree with the General. Going back for her would be ill advised.
<Michiru> "He... isn't lying..."
<Ariel> "...you always used to be fond of heroics."
* Seraphna shakes her head, she stands and goes over to Michi, giving her a hug.
* Xanatos sighs and looks down.
<Xanatos> I'm sorry Shiva.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes, when it's applicable. This isn't one of them.
* Chad`Winters eyes the scanners to see if the two are moving.
<Michiru> "Like hell it's not applicable!"
<DeathStar> 6* They are't. But they are surrounded by a massive Dark Army.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *says that*
<Chad`Winters> He's waiting for us...6He stands up.
<Michiru> "He?"
* Ariel` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Michiru> <Terra> *says that*
<Xanatos> *Marcus steps in to see how the people are faring in the teleporter room.
<DeathStar> <Darien> If he got access to a ship, he'd just go back to the other universe and end it.
<Chad`Winters> I think that's what he has planned. He's surrounded by an entire army and he's not budging an inch. He's expecting us to rescue Erevis.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "So, instead, we end him."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes a deep breath.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You can't end him.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I can, and I will."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Then you'll die.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien says it without feeling.
* Seraphna accepts water, she doesn't seem to need treatment, but water is welcome.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *half-grins, half-smirks* "I'll die a hero then."
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva's hands begin to tremble, she falls to her knee's.
<DeathStar> <Dominick> It'll be only a matter of time before the Dark Ships discover this ship, Captain. We should go now. 6He touches Warren's hand.
<Chad`Winters> You'll die a fool Kyouki. Erevis wouldn't want that.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien ignores Kyouki.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "Trading my life for Wind's is foolish?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl studies Warren, tuning out the others.,
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Cheryl.
<Chad`Winters> There wouldn't be a trade, just your death.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh great. 6She mutters, as if knowing what Warren is planning.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "I said I was going to end him, and I mean it."
* Ariel looks to Zephyr
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm going for Erevis. Chad, jump out of here if the Dark Ships advacne on your position, or if I don't return in 30 mins.
* Chad`Winters glances at Zephyr than Warren.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, like hell you're going by yourself. If you go, I go.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *smiles to Warren* "Tell me what to do."
* Xanatos slowly pulls himself up to his feet. He moves over to Shiva's side, placing a hand on her shoulder. "I...I'm sorry."
* Chad`Winters rubs the bridge of his nose.
<DeathStar> <Darien> *Sighs* Warren, this isn't the right call.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I leave no man behind.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Darien, then steps past him. Cheryl shrugs at Darien, then pats Ariel once on the shoulder before following Warren. Zephyr shrugs and turns to follow as well
<DeathStar> <Dominick> Starr, you shoudl take command and stop him.
* Seraphna takes out teh comm Xan gave her, looks at the code for it, and then turns it on.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *follows Warren*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien studies Ariel.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva stands up, her head hanged low, she turns, running out.
<Seraphna> "...Mich... let's get you some food..."
<Michiru> <Terra> "Maybe I should go with him."
* Michiru nods quietly
* Ariel watches the group depart... wishing she could do something. Her presence would just complicate things though.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias snores loudly now
* Seraphna looks to Xan, "...Coming hun...?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, he sucks a flying. I guess I should fly him down. 6He hurries after them. Dominick just stares
<Michiru> <Terra> *turns and follows*
* Xanatos turns to Sera, a frown on his face, "I need to clear my head." He says, before turning and stepping out, moving down the hallway.
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot> Well, this is one helluva team we have.
* Ariel smiles a little.
* Seraphna nods and sighs mutely, leading Michi to wherever the galley is now.
<Cassandra`> I'll be on the bridge... *heads for the bridge*
* Michiru follows
<DeathStar> 6* Warren heads for the hanger with his rag tag team.
* Chad`Winters moves over to the Captains Chair, sitting down. He rubs his hands together, staring off into space.
* Xanatos slows to a stop, glancing at Warren's team. "What's going on?"
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Got a feeling something crazy is going to happen and kill us all?"
<Michiru> <Terra> "Hey, shouldn't we bring the runes?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm getting Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs at Xanatos like she can't stop Warren
<DeathStar> <Warren> No, I don't want Wind near those.
* Xanatos widens his eyes. "Need an extra gun?"
<Michiru> <Terra> "Well.. okay. It's going to be rough without them, though."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Suit yourself.
<Ariel> Em> *looks to Hotaru, then heads to the hangar*
<Michiru> <Hotaru> *follows*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien follows along behind, clearly not approving of this
* Xanatos turns to move after the group, he glances at Darien before looking ahead.
<Xanatos> *Marcus eyes the group going past, but decides he really would be getting in the way this time.
<Michiru> <Terra> "Any advice on fighting this Wind bloke?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into the hanger. Darien moves off to get the shuttle ready
<DeathStar> <Darien> Don't fight him
* Seraphna selects some food and helps Michi order, "...Need to keep our strength up..."
<Michiru> <Terra> "... well... if you say so."
<Xanatos> Grab Erevis and run.
* Chad`Winters stands up. 1"Tom you have the bridge."
<DeathStar> <Pilot> Aye aye.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> "If you need a distraction... shit. I won't be able to use my powers, will I?"
<Chad`Winters> As Warren said, if things get dangerous jump, if we're not back in 30, jump. 6He turns moving.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes Warren off to the side, talking to him. "You don't do anything stupid, okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot wiggles his eyebrows at Ariel.
* Xanatos slowly checks over his weapons, his eyes cold and serious.
* Cassandra` steps on to the bridge.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Understood.
* Ariel sits in the captains chair with a sigh... just a convient place to flop.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *checks her gun, almost seeming eager*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps onto the shuttle, taking the back seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren and Cheryl step onto the shuttle.
<Michiru> <Kyouki> *follows them on*
<Michiru> <Terra> *hurries onboard*
* Michiru is now known as Terra
* Xanatos steps into the shoudler and moves over to the co-pilot's seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes powering up the shutle.
* Chad`Winters steps into the hanger, moving towards the shuttle
<Seraphna> *Airier hurries up, catching up to the group and onto the shuttle.
<Terra> <Hotaru> "You're sure about this, Em?"
* Chad`Winters watches Airier pass him. He steps onto the shuttle.
<Xanatos> You're not really wanting to do this. *he notes his facial expressions*
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's a bad idea.
<Chad`Winters> Monumentally stupid. 6He notes.
<Terra> <Kyouki> "Any plans beyond the obvious?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll take that into advisement.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren closes the shuttle ramp
<Xanatos> Well, at least I feel right at home.
* Ariel` has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs the controls.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You realize, this many of us means more casualities if you're accessment is correct.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Stop trying to be funny
<Chad`Winters> I took that into my calculations.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, he's serious.
<Terra> <Terra> "We all know it's dangerous."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shifts the controls forward and the shuttle flies out.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Ariel` prays they come back safe
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns the shuttle toward the planet, flying past the moon
<Seraphna> Airier> *checks over his weapons carefully*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances down, looking worried.
<Chad`Winters> I'd say we could Hyperspace towards the planet but we'll definetly let Wind know we're coming.
* Xanatos does his job as co-pilot, just making sure everything is in order so Darien can focus on flying.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And your Dark friends.
<Terra> <Kyouki> "Someone needs to distract Wind, right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rolls his eyes
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr adjusts her trench coat.
<Xanatos> No needs to sacrifice themselves in this. We're not having another John.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren says nothing.
* Chad`Winters eyes Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flies them toward the planet, noting three huge Dark Ships between them and the planet.
<Terra> <Kyouki> "That you'd compare me to John..." *seems almost pleased*
<Chad`Winters> Everyone grab onto something and hang tight. 6He grabs onto a rung.
<Seraphna> *Airier grabs onto a rung.
* Terra holds on
<DeathStar> <Darien> We'll just have to alert Wind we're coming. I don't see any other way past them.
<Xanatos> Shut up Kyouki. *he notes in a angry voice*
<Terra> <Kyouki> *grabs a rung*
<Terra> <Kyouki> "Ohhh? You have a problem with me speaking?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I call this one...well, it'sa classic where I come from
<Chad`Winters> I have a problem with you all speaking right now.
<Xanatos> When it is stupid talk. Yes I do.
* Ariel has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smashes the hyperspace button.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> This close to the planet ? Are you NUTS?
<Terra> <Kyouki> "Respecting John is stupid?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smashes it again, sending them hurtling through the atmosphere.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grips a chair.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ohboyohboyohboy.
* Chad`Winters jerks slightly, grabbing harder on the rung and pushing down againsti t
* Xanatos widens his eyes, ignoring Kyouki. "That...I think I just pissed myself." He glances down, "Shew, thank god. I didn't."
<Terra> <Kyouki> *eyes Xanatos coldly*
<Ariel> Em> *holds on tight... she expected a bumpy ride*
* Ariel` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm, these shuttles can't seem to handle this well. Who built this? 6The shuttle plummets.
<Xanatos> Prolly Chad or Sera. *he notes, trying to keep the systems alive*
<Chad`Winters> Don't crash it, we need it to get back.
<Terra> <Hotaru> *holds on also, having gotten herself dressed in the meantime*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grips her seat. "I forgot how pleasant your company was, Darien.'
<Terra> "Yeah, we're kindof screwed if we don't have a shuttle."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glides them rapidly toward th eplanet.
* Chad`Winters glances at Xanatos than over at Warren, nodding.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren seems to continue to ignore Darien's existence.
<DeathStar> 6* As they descend, a wave of darkness on the planet can be seen. Dark Ones. And they seem to have formed a circle around something.
* Xanatos glances ahead. "We have our visual." He notes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hmmm.
<DeathStar> 6* Beams of energy lance out into the darkness from the center, seemingly doing massive damage.
<Terra> <Kyouki> "So much for a distraction." *pops a pill*
<Chad`Winters> Such power...6His body jerks around.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What is going on?
* Xanatos lets out a low whistle. "This isn't going to be easy."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Wind's definitely in the center.
<Chad`Winters> I believe Wind is holding them all at bay.
<Seraphna> Airier> "If yhou ask me, he's pretty distracted as is."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think he's having fun
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs the controls, descending.
<Terra> <Terra> "He's that type?"
<Chad`Winters> He's holding back. If they didn't fear him they would've destroyed him already.
<Terra> "That's holding back?"
<DeathStar> 6* As they get closer, they can see Wind standing there, dressed in black, sunglasses on. He keeps waving his hand adn unleashing hyperspace into dark ones, frying them. Behind him, her back pressed against his, is Erevis, holding her energy sword.
<DeathStar> <Warren. ...
* Xanatos purses his lips. "Is she...fighting with him?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The enemy of my enemy is my friend?
<Seraphna> Airier> "Probably doesn't have much of a choice right now."
* Chad`Winters looks at Cheryl and nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind's head snaps up at the shutle.
<Ariel> 6* Em frowns.
<Xanatos> I guess...*he frowns* We've been spotted.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That would be an affirmative.
<Terra> "Well, I was never one for subtlety anyway."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances over her shoulder at them.
<Terra> <Hotaru> *takes a deep breath. This isn't going to be easy*
<DeathStar> <Darien> So far your darklings are too busy to notice us.
<Xanatos> Well...here we go. I guess I don't have to tell everyone to be careful.
<Chad`Winters> Which gives us a potential 30 minutes
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What should we do? We fly into the center, we'll be attacked by them.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I told you this was a horrendously bad idea.
<Xanatos> Please tell me someone has an idea...
<Terra> <Kyouki> "I'll grab Erevis..."
<Ariel> 6* Em closes her eyes and tries to contact Erevis
<Terra> <Hotaru> "DON'T!"
<DeathStar> 6* Somehow, Em gets past the Dark Ones without them ever noticing.
<Seraphna> Airier> *eyes Hotaru then Em*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Something wrong? 6He eyes Hota oddly.
<Xanatos> I think she's having second thoughts.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind keeps waving his hand, frying Dark Pets.
* Ariel` has joined #taw
<Terra> <Hotaru> "... I thought they'd notice..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Notice?
<Terra> <Hotaru> "Telepathy."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You tried TELEPATHY?
* Chad`Winters narrows his eyes, looking at Em.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That bad?
<Chad`Winters> It's like a beacon to the Dark Ones.
<Terra> <Kyouki> "Em... please... tell me you're alright..."
<Xanatos> To sum it all up...mindfuck. *he says to Darien*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Wonderful. So we brought psionics along for fun?
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Terra> <Kyouki> "I've taken my drugs, I'll be fine."
<Ariel`> 6* Em offers a reassuring smile. Doesn't seem too be suffering.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She looks fine to me.
<Seraphna> Airier> "THey're probably a bit too focused on the hyperspace being ripping them to shreds."
<DeathStar> <Darien> We all have priorities.
<Chad`Winters> Which means we can use this to our advantages.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to fully face the shuttle, a frown.
<Terra> <Kyouki> "Still, I have a feeling it's best not to use any when we arrive."
* Xanatos archs a brow, eyeing Erevis closely.
<Terra> <Kyouki> *watches*
<DeathStar> 6* Wind laughs a bit, then motions the shuttle on down
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh great, he's taunting us.
<Xanatos> I don't like this...
<Chad`Winters> This was his plan all along.
<Seraphna> Airier> "THat or telling us to come down, he needs us to get out of here it seems."
<Chad`Winters> And we don't want that Airier.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh yes, he'd love a ride, I'm sure.
<Seraphna> Airier> "We got a plan around it?"
<Xanatos> Couldn't we act like it was all fine for him to be on board and then kick him off then hyperspace it outta here?
<DeathStar> 6* Wind turns as a Dark One tries to approach Erevis, then blasts it. He yells something at ehr.
<DeathStar> <Darien> .... *he looks at Xanatos*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at Xanatos.
<Terra> <Kyouki> "I don't want to help Wind, but we have to save Erevis one way or another."
<Xanatos> Well I never said I was the thinker of the group.
<Ariel`> 6* Em frowns.
<Seraphna> Airier> "Not bright, but better then nothing, which is what everyone else seems to have."
<DeathStar> <Darien> If we let him on this shuttle, he could just kill us, then take the shuttle. Adn we couldn't stop him
<Terra> "Beats knocking him away from the shuttle long enough to get Erevis away."
* Chad`Winters opens his mouth to say somethign than agrees with him
<DeathStar> <Warren> he couldn't risk hyperspace energy, or he'd damage the shuttle.
<Chad`Winters> This is the same guy that nearly wiped our our Universe.
<Seraphna> "...We can't push him away?
<Seraphna> *Airier
<Terra> "Maybe with massive amounts of explosives..."
<Chad`Winters> In a shuttle...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flies them around in a circle.
<Xanatos> Or enough Charged shots to kill an ridarium.
<Terra> "We don't let him on the shuttle in the first place."
<Seraphna> Airier> "Aren't these things armed?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh, yes. But Erevis is 5 feet away.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Defeats the purpose.
<Seraphna> Airier> "It's a start, how do we seperate them?"
<Xanatos> Seperating them risks Erevis being overwhelmed by Dark Ones.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind crosses his arms, letting the Dark Ones advance on them.
<Chad`Winters> He's taunting us more now.
* Xanatos archs a brow. "What a prick."
<Terra> "We have to seperate them sometime."
<Seraphna> Airier> "Let him, call the bluff, he's not going to give himself up."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> How annoying.
<Seraphna> Airier> "He was already counting on people'
<Chad`Winters> No, but he can take our shuttl down and have us die with him.
<Terra> <Kyouki> "The more I see him, the more I want to kill him."
<Seraphna> Airier> "He was already counting on people's emotional attachments."
<DeathStar> <Darien> .... 6He frowns.
<Xanatos> We need to land, we don't have a choice at the moment.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Then why save Erevis? Letting her get stabbed would have gotten us down faster.
<Seraphna> Airier> "We do, you're failing to remember he can't crash the shuttle, he needs it."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis presses her back against Wind's as the dark ones get in closer.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches the two closely, his eyes full of suspicion.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Zephyr, you think you can shoot just Wind?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I could try.
<Seraphna> Airier> "...THey're together..."
<Terra> <Kyouki> "Don't miss."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lowers the ramp.
<Seraphna> Airier> "He's not attacking her because they're together."
<Xanatos> No they're not.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps out onto the ramp edge.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... ... 6He glances at Airier grimly.
<Seraphna> *Airier shakes his head. "You know? Or do you feel they aren't?"
<Ariel`> Em> "...I don't like this idea."
<Terra> <Kyouki> "Don't say things like that."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms her traditional beam rifle.
<Terra> <Hotaru> "You either?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes aim.
<Xanatos> She stayed behind so he wouldn't kill us! I know Erevis, she would never betray us.
<Chad`Winters> Em, tell Erevis what we're planning.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll fire as soon as you tell her.
<Seraphna> Airier> *sighs and shakes his head, adjusting his weapons*
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ones launch tendrils at Wind and Erevis. Wind swishes his hand out, blocking them all with hyperspace energy attacks
<DeathStar> 6* He then redirects it at them, frying them easier as they are closer.
* Ariel has joined #taw
<Terra> <Kyouki> "I could do it myself.. though, I'm not exactly accepting of Wind right now."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He really does good work on them.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Pets suddenly back off, forming a pathway to the center that someone could walk down
<Ariel> 6* Em relays the message to Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> Which is why they probably fear him so.
<Xanatos> A shame he wasn't mentally insane.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns, her lips moving as she talks to Wind. Wind tilts his head.
<Terra> <Kyouki> "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Desaeus begins to approach the two.
* Xanatos stares hard, his jaw clenching as he sees Erevis talking to Wind.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Okay, take the shot.
* Ariel` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Xanatos> Wait. *he looks back to Warren*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hold. W hat?
<Chad`Winters> Wait?!
<Xanatos> She just told him something...
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... If we wait, Desaeus will be on them.
<Seraphna> Airier> "See?"
<Terra> <Kyouki> "Should we really wait? Shut up Airier."
<Xanatos> ...okay.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fire, Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fires. Wind is hit, being driven into the ground.
* Xanatos turns back to see what happens, his hands tremble slightly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ....well, he sure fell easily.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Pets turn to look up at the ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Desaeus looks up.
<Xanatos> And we now have their attention.
<Seraphna> *Airier only goes back to his interest in weapons.
<Chad`Winters> We need to move in now.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien lowers the shutle quickly.
<Xanatos> Spin around so Erevis can hop in.
<Terra> <Kyouki> *prepares to help Erevis onboard*
<Ariel> 6* Em moves to the door, ready to aid Erevis telekinetically.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns a bit as the shuttle lowers, then tenses. Desaeus launches tendrils ta it.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien spins the shuttle around.
* Xanatos moves his hands across the controls to fire at the tendrils.
<Ariel> Em> "Zephyr, can you distract him?"
<DeathStar> 6* Wind hops up and grabs Desaeus from behind, switching to energy mode. "Boo." 6He begins to fry him
<Ariel> Em> "...or..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leaps onto the shuttle ramp.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holds his guns ready.
<Ariel> Em> "....." *grabs Erevis*
<Xanatos> She's on!
<Chad`Winters> Move now.
<Terra> <Kyouki> *does likewise*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hits the ramp button.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Pets launch trendrils at them.
* Xanatos works to fire at the tendrils. "Incoming!"
<Ariel> Em> *looks to Erevis* "Are you okay?"
<Terra> <Kyouki> "We were worried about you..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien lifts the controls, but it's a bit oto late. Tendrils slice through the hull into the shuttle. Cheryl jerks Warren out of the way, flinching as she's hit.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves Em down as the tendrils come in. "It was foolish to come back."
<Terra> "Cheryl! Are you okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down, holding her arm. "Fine, lets fly."
* Xanatos holds on tight, his hands moving over to make sure the engines are still alive.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, getting them higher.
<Terra> <Kyouki> "We couldn't leave you behind."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind tosses Deaseus away like a rag doll.
<Chad`Winters> Very. But now we have a ship with holes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Indeed.
<Ariel> Em> *flattens against the deck* "...none of us could just abandon you."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind vanishes in a trial of hyperspace.
* Xanatos looks around. "Where'd Wind go?"
<Terra> <Terra> "We need to move. Fast."
<Terra> "Hyperspace."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He will get a Dark Ship and use it to get back to the other universe.
<Seraphna> Airier> "We have anything to patch with or rebreathers?"
* Terra looks for some
<DeathStar> 6* There is indeed items.
<Terra> <Hotaru> *does similar, moving to patch up the ship*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren works on wrapping up Cheryl's wound, looking worried. "I didn't need you to save me." <Cheryl> Shut p
* Chad`Winters moves over to Terra and begins helping patch the ship
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hepls Chad.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> See, no problem. I took him out in one shot.
* Xanatos glances at Cheryl and Warren momentarily before moving back to the controls. "..."
<Seraphna> *Airier starts working on patching the holes with Hotaru
* Terra helps patch up the holes. "I have a feeling he'll be back."
<Chad`Winters> Good job Zephyr. 6He begins moving as fast as he can.
<DeathStar> 6* They finish patching the shuttle up just as Darien gets them to hyperspace.
<Seraphna> Airier> "The girl has killer aim, I'll give her that."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down, still wearing that native outfit.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hmh.
<Chad`Winters> What happened down there Erevis?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes her head. "I cannot talk about it."
* Xanatos glances at Darien. "Problem?"
<Terra> <Kyouki> "You weren't hurt, were you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks back at Erevis, sitting beside Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I'm fine.
<Chad`Winters> I see. 6He runs his hand through his hair.
* Ariel` has joined #taw
<Xanatos> Well you're alive, and that's all that matters.
<Terra> <Kyouki> "I'm glad."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the Dark Ships moving toward the planet, ignoring them.,
* Chad`Winters eyes the time. 1"Warren, contact the PAX.
<Seraphna> *Airier looks to Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs the comm. "PAX, this is the shuttle. We'll be back there in 2 mins."
<Ariel`> Em> "Hey... if you ever want to talk. You have friends, 'kay?"
<Terra> <Kyouki> "Yeah."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at them both. "I will remember."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr mimics her gun shot that took out Wind
<Seraphna> *Airier takes a second to grin at Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pats Warren's hand. "We did it wiht no casualties."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yeah.
* Chad`Winters brings his knuckles down on Zephyrs head softly. 1"I thought Warren was the only cocky one."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey! That was a brilliant shot.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Terra> "On the ship?"
* Xanatos glances at Darien, then looks ahead.
<Terra> "Half the pilots are."
<Chad`Winters> Yes it was.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle arrives back in the hanger.
* Ariel` waits in the hangar as the shuttle arrives.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien powers the shuttle down, remaining in his seat.
* Chad`Winters lowers the ramp and steps down it.
* Seraphna also waits, arms crossed, tapping her foot, looking worried.
<Xanatos> *Marcus also stands in the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps out with Cheryl, putting an arm around her to help her walk out, despite her not needing it.
* Xanatos eyes Darien. "Something is bothering you."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hops out.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> How'd it go? *he looks to Zephyr*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Darien, then steps out as well.
<Terra> "You think it was too easy?"
<Chad`Winters> I bet you couldn't make that shot again.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I took Wind down like a sack of potatoes.
<Seraphna> *Airier sighs a bit and gathers up some gear, looking at Darien and nodding.
<Terra> <Kyouki> *steps out after Erevis*
<Xanatos> *Marcus widens his eyes in awe.
<Terra> <Hotaru> "It was too easy."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Forget about it. WE should be happy, yes? 6He stands up.
* Ariel` approaches Erevis, "Welcome back." She smiles.
* Xanatos archs a brow again. "Once we light jump out of here we should, yes."
<Terra> "Yeah, he was probably just weakened by the fight."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, glancing at Ariel with a rather blank expression. "Thank you. I am glad you are well."
<Seraphna> Airier> "Welp... alls well that ends well, for now."
<Seraphna> *AIrier steps off the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick studies them all, his eyes moving to glance at Erevis.
* Xanatos pulls himself up to his feet and moves to step off of the shuttle. He watches Erevis for a second.
* Ariel` pauses, "...are you alright?"
<DeathStar> <Warren on Comm> Lets jump.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Erevis from the side.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am ---
* Seraphna tackles Xan.
<DeathStar> <Tom Pilot on comm> We have an issue, sir
<Terra> <Kyouki> *looks a little worried*
* Xanatos widens his eyes as he is tackled, he eyes Sera. "Ow!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares at Xan.
* Seraphna blushes and smiles, signing, "I was worried!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *sigh* I never get tackled by a hunky guy.
<Chad`Winters> I could get Tom Pilot to tackle you.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm on my way. 6He nods to Cheryl and they both walk out for the bridge.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, ew.
<Xanatos> Worried?! Hah! *he smiles at her*
* Ariel` nods a little, not looking convinced.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien follows.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances out the hanger window. A Dark Ship rapidly approaches them.
* Chad`Winters eyes Warren, a look of concern on his face. 1"We should go." He turns, moving quickly after them
* Seraphna signs, "Well they said what you guys were going to do.. and..."
<DeathStar> 6* It appears to be wiggling at them. And it's the same way Chad blasted earlier, as the damage would attest.
* Seraphna gets off him and helps him up.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops ,glancing back.
* Xanatos perks up and glances at those leaving. "Uh oh. Serious time." He smiles and turns to move after them.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey, since whe ndid they fly like that?
* Seraphna moves with Xan and nods.
* Chad`Winters stops, eyeing the ship. 1"I...have no clue."
* Seraphna blinks, eyeing it.
* Seraphna grabs her comms, "...They don't move like that."
<Terra> <Kyouki> "We need to leave. Or destroy the ship before it gets any closer."
* Xanatos tilts his head. "Hmmm?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's an old pilot signal when your comm is broken
<Seraphna> "...It's moving like that on purpose."
<Chad`Winters> ....Wind is on it than,.
<Xanatos> Says Hello. *he nods to Darien*
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ship jumps.
<Terra> <Terra> "Shit. He's gone."
<DeathStar> <Darien> This is bad.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances down.
* Xanatos glances around at them. "Why aren't we jumping?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps onto the bridge. "Begin the countdown."
<Terra> <Kyouki> "Don't ask me!"
* Xanatos stops at Erevis. He tilts his head. "Erevis."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances up.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods to Cassandra.
<Xanatos> Something wrong?
<Chad`Winters> What about Dias? He could always tackle you.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We should focus on leaving. 6She turns to go
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
* Ariel has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> Durran? 6He scratches his chin as he stares up at the cieling
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ew.
* Xanatos narrows his eyes, glancing at Darien once before stepping forward himself.
<DeathStar> 6* The PAX jumps back to real space.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Alright, lets jump to the nearest system. 6* Tom sends them on a series of preordained jumps, so they can't be traced
<Chad`Winters> So mean sometimes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I have standards.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick turns to glance at Sera.
* Ariel` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Chad`Winters> I hear he brushes his teeth using his feet. 6He nods to her
* Seraphna is watching Xan, sighing a little, fidgiting
* Seraphna blinks and turns her gaze to Dom.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominick pushes up his glasses with a finger, then walks off.
* Xanatos is walking down the hallway, headed towards the bridge.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well, we'll be safe for now. <Cheryl> I'm going to go talk with Ariel. 6She smiles at him, then moves off to find her.
* Seraphna heads after Xan.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves over and grabs Ariel in a hug
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Missed you
<Seraphna> <Sis?>
* Ariel hugs Zephyr, "Has it been that long?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finds the observatin deck with the computer's help, staring out it
* Xanatos slows around a corner, glancing back at Sera. "It just me, or does something not feel right?"
<Terra> <Hotaru> <Hmm?>
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> 3 months.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rubs his hand thoughtfully.
<Seraphna> <I'm glad... that we both made it.>
* Seraphna nods to Xan.
* Chad`Winters stares at the Ariel and Zephyr.
<Terra> <Hotaru> <So am I.>
<Ariel> "That long..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Warren worked hard to get you guys back.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, and Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles playfully at Chad
* Xanatos shrugs. "Oh well, we'll find out sooner or later..." He rubs his neck slowly. "I could use a shower..." he says as he steps onto the bridge.
* Chad`Winters blinks, his jaw dropping. He then beams with pride
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Xanatos. "Well, your smell is one I haven't imssed."
<Seraphna> <Just thinking about it... how long have we been gone?>
<Terra> <Hotaru> <Three months.>
<Seraphna> <...Yow.>
<Chad`Winters> Yeah well I got a lot of help. I couldn't have done most of it without Cheryl's help.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, Cheryl and I joined the military, and Cheryl's been sober for 3 months.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And she wears jewelry now.
* Ariel` has joined #taw
* Seraphna hits her comms, "...Good to see you again, sir." *she looks to Warren*
<Chad`Winters> I hear two bar's had to close because of it.
* Ariel` sorta... stares.
<Xanatos> Aww, you make me feel so at home. *he tilts his head, glancing around* The bridge looks good.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps onto the bridge. "Good to see you, Ariel." 6She steps over, giving her a smile.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You don't look so good.
<Xanatos> *Marcus moves up to Terra. "Glad to see you made it back." He smiles to her.
<Chad`Winters> And Warren's been acting wierd...6He scratches his chin. 1"He actually sang."
<Seraphna> "...We've been through a lot in a few days..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr and Cheryl both glance away awkwardly after Chad says that
<Terra> <Kyouki> *stays silent for a while, then speaks up* "... somehow, I need to improve if I'm going to be any help against the dark ones in future."
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Ariel` looks stunned.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias snores loudly then falls over, hitting his head on the floor of the transporter room.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You look it. 6He tells Sera.
<Terra> "Thanks.. I'm glad you're alright too."
* Seraphna steps up Warren, "...Well, apologies for the ruined uniform sir... shall I resume my post?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Negative. Go get some sleep
* Seraphna nods softly. "...Understood sir."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans against a wall, glancing in at Michiru in the mess hall.
* Seraphna looks to Xan.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... *makes a face*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Anyway, enough about things like Warren. 6She chuckles nervously
* Xanatos glances over at Chad, then back to Warren. "Uhh, sir. I'll write you up a report of what happened."
<Terra> <Michiru> *finishes eating, looking over to Erevis, then rushing over*
<DeathStar> NRP: Chad's in the hanger.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Chad's not on the bridge idiot.
<Terra> <Michiru> "You're back..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Xanatos> NRP: *Looks left, then right.* My bad.
<Terra> <Michiru> "I was worried..."
<Terra> <Michiru> *hugs Erevis*
* Chad`Winters looks at Cheryl, confused. 1"But I love talking about Warren behind his back."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine, as you can see. ... And you?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks, then puts a hand to Michiru's back
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... oh, you jerk. 6She snorts.
<Terra> <Michiru> "I... I'm healthy, anyway.."
* Xanatos glances around, "How long has it been? I don't remember the ship being so fancy."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Uh, heh...Ariel, lets..uh..lets go..somewhere..safer... 6She leads ARiel off.
* Seraphna drags Xan off. "...3 Months."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Ew.
<Ariel`> "...right." *is lead*
<Chad`Winters> Oh come on, it helps keep his superior hearing on it's toes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts agian, turning to walk off.
* Xanatos stares at Sera, then looks to Warren. "Oh don't you ew me. I saw that look in your eyes on the shuttle." He nods, before stepping off of the bridge with Sera.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, um...how are you and Darien...?
<Terra> <Michiru> "I still keep expecting to see John come walking in as if nothing happened..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren raises a brow, glancing at Cass . "Do I have a look in my eye?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am sorry....
* Chad`Winters scratches the back of his head and reacehs into his tact belt, pulling out a tooth pick and tossing into his mouth.
<Cassandra`> I wouldn't know.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Good.
<Terra> <Michiru> "It's not your fault.."
* Xanatos glances at Sera, then looks ahead. "I'm going to go shower, i'll stop by later, alright?" He tilts his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Cassandra. "You could use a bath."
<Chad`Winters> Cheryl, do you really think I a bad talk Warren behind his back?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He meant a lot to you.
<Xanatos> *Marcus laughs lightly, "So what are you doing later?"
<Terra> "I don't know.."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You bad talk everyone behind their back. 6She turns to face Chad.
* Ariel` eyes Zephyr a moment. "You realize how shortly ago we found that world, for us. Correct?"
* Seraphna hmms a little in that odd way and stops him, moving around him.
<Chad`Winters> Constructive criticism...unless they deserve it.
<Xanatos> *Marcus rubs his chin, "Well, we could go do something if you want..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So?
<Cassandra`> I could use an overhaul on top of that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're rarely constructive.
* Xanatos stops, eyeing Sera.
* Seraphna leans up and kisses him softly.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Bigger enhancements? 6He asks in an entirely serious tone, glancing at her chest.
* Xanatos smiles and returns the kiss. "I'm glad you're ok."
<Cassandra`> No... *purses her lips*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's Darien. Surely something happened.
<Ariel`> "It... has been a rather short time. And we've spent most of it fending for our lives."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *cups her hands together, sighing* Everyone's got someone these days. *She says wistfully*
* Seraphna smiles and signs, "Likewise. Come to my place when you're cleaned up."
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms. 1"Huh..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're a bitcher.
* Xanatos holds a thumbs up, smiling. He kisses her forehead before moving around her and moving towards his own room.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Oh.
* Seraphna goes to take a shower of her own.
<Terra> "... I don't know."
* Ariel` hugs Zephyr at that. "I'm surprised you're not fending off suittors."
<Xanatos> *Marcus frowns and tilts his head, "Do you just not like me or something?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ha ha, no one wants jailbait.
<Chad`Winters> Guess I don't see it that way.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, at least one of us can see things properly.
<Terra> "It's... complicated."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hums a tune. Tom Pilot eyes him with a creeped out look
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Not really. Just a yes or a no would suffice.
<DeathStar> 6* Tom Pilot glances at Cass to see if she's creeped out.
<Cassandra`> I mean clean up my system. All that dust in the atmosphere...its lodged in my systems.
* Xanatos steps into his room and moves over, taking a nice shower.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Your systems. *he nods*
<Terra> "It's not that. I just..."
<Terra> "I'm not sure I'm ready for dating right now."
* Ariel has joined #taw
* Ariel` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr cheers up after a moment. "But, anyway, you're back, everyone's together and happy."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> And did you lose the love of your life or something? Because I don't know of any other reason that would keep you from wanting to date and be happy.
* Chad`Winters slides his hands in his pocket. 1"I woner how long this reprieve will last...." He looks over past Zephyr and Ariel and through the hanger opening*
<Terra> "No! I... just..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Pessimist.
<Terra> "I'm just not ready."
<DeathStar> TIME JUMP!!!!!!
* Chad`Winters just shrugs at that.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Very well...
<DeathStar> Stardate: Many hours later, in the dead of night
<DeathStar> 6* Alarms suddenly go off - a blaster was fired on board.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stumbles out of bed into the hallway from the room he was assigned.
* Chad`Winters jerks awake from bed, stumbling out. He glances over at Aya as he moves out.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr howls in pain as she steps out, holding her head. She collapses to her knees.
* Xanatos steps out of Sera's room.
<Terra> <Hotaru> <What's going on?>
* Ariel is quickly up as the alarms go off
* Seraphna steps out with him, putting on a robe.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps out, looking confused. Her hair is ruffled.
* Cassandra` rushes out of her quarters.
<Seraphna> <What...? I have no clue...>
* Chad`Winters steps out of his room, wearing only boxers. 1"Computer, what happened."
* Xanatos looks around, he pulls up a datapad and tries to determine where the blaster was fired.
<DeathStar> <Computer> Unauthorized shots fired in Captain Carmichael's room.
<Terra> *comm* "What the hell just happened?"
* Chad`Winters narrows his eys and sprints towards the Captains room.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks, her face getting a little pale. "What?" 6She follows Chad. Darien does so as well.
* Xanatos widens his eyes. "Warren!?" He turns and begins to run toward Warren's room.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rocks back and forth, holding her knees.
* Seraphna blinks at the computer's announcement, <Warren... Zephyr!>
<Terra> <Kyouki> *checks her datapad to find out where the gunshot was too, then heads that way*
* Cassandra` heads for Warren's quarters, gun drawn...
* Chad`Winters glances at Cheryl, a look of worry on his face.
<Terra> <Hotaru> *rushes off to Warren's quarters*
<DeathStar> 6* As they arrive, the doors are shut.
<Chad`Winters> Computer, override Carmichael, Warren's doors.
<DeathStar> <Computer> Authorization?
* Xanatos slides up behind Chad, he pulls up a pistol.
<Chad`Winters> XO Chad Winters
* Ariel heads to the scene as well, as she find out what's going on.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides up.
<DeathStar> <Darien> What's up?
<DeathStar> 6* The doors unlock
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis arrives, in full uniform.
* Chad`Winters opens the door quickly, stepping inside and looking around
<Terra> * Hotaru and Kyouki also arrive
* Xanatos steps in after Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Sitting in his chair, gun in hand, with half his face blown off, is Warren Carmichael. OR what is left of him.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gasps, putting a hand to her mouth. She stumbles back a little
<Terra> <Kyouki> "W-WARREN!"
* Chad`Winters turns, quickly stopping Cheryl, and holding her back from entering
<DeathStar> <Darien> Holy shit.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Is...is...
* Seraphna stares at the scene from the doorway
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Terra> <Kyouki> *looks in shock*
* Xanatos stops, widening his eyes. "W...." He
* Xanatos stops, widening his eyes. "W...." He just seems speechless.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl falls to her knees.
<Cassandra`> Ok, clear the room.
<Chad`Winters> Ariel, take care of Cheryl. 6He turns, moving back inside.
<Cassandra`> I need the security records for this corridor confirmed and secured.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands there. He coughs, going into military mode. "Yes, we can't contaminate the scene."
* Chad`Winters stops eyeing Darien and Cassandra.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm going to take over this. 6He notes, pulling his rank.
<Cassandra`> ...what?
* Ariel` has joined #taw
* Chad`Winters nods to Darien, then pauses. He quickly pushes past everyone, sprinting back to their quarters
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares.
* Xanatos steps back outside of the room, not touching anything. "..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves to Cass. "We can't let this get out to the crew at large for now."
<Terra> <Hotaru> "This is all wrong..."
<Cassandra`> I agree.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glacnes at everyone. "You should all just go back to your rooms for now."
<Cassandra`> And don't talk about this.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just holds herself, rocknig back adn forth
<Terra> <Kyouki> "I... don't think I could, even if I wanted to..."
* Xanatos rubs his temples, stepping away from everyone, not going in the direction of his room.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances away.
* Ariel` puts an arm around Cheryl. She's in borderline shock herself, but fights it. "...come on, Cheryl."
* Chad`Winters turns down a hallway, looking for Zephyr
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> This isn't real..this isn't real..
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is in the hallway, holding her legs.
* Chad`Winters slows down, walking upto her slowly. He kneels down beside her. Moving to put his arm around her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances back at Cass. "You know the ship best. Get the records, let no one else see them."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Check the hallway cameras for the last 10 hours.
* Xanatos slides into the security room and mvoes over, quickly pulling up a camera feed of in front of Warren's room.
<Cassandra`> Yes, sir. *heads to security*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He's dead. I felt him die.
* Seraphna watches, still a bit lost in shock
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns away, movnig off.
* Chad`Winters says nothing than pulls her in, hugging her tightly
<Seraphna> <Is Zephyr okay...? F-Feeling death through the bond isn't pleasent...>
* Xanatos glances up at Cass and she enters, he just stares at the feed.
* Cassandra` then steps into the security center.
<Cassandra`> Xanatos, what are you doing?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps over to the body. When the security team arrive,s he pulls on gloves.
<Terra> <Hotaru> <... she has Chad...>
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos and Durran see that Warren only had one visit --- 1 hour before his death.
<Seraphna> <Alright...>
<Xanatos> Finding out who did this. *He looks closely to see who the visitor is*
* Xanatos widnes his eyes, glancing at Cass.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at his desk, where Warren was sitting.
* Ariel` leads Cheryl back to her room, and tries to get her settled.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> How..did it...happen?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems completely blank.
<Chad`Winters> We don't know yet, Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Did someone shoot him?
* Xanatos rubs his face slowly. "Damnit...damnit." He shakes his head.
* Seraphna pulls a comms out of her robe, "...So... who did this...?"
<Chad`Winters> We think so.
<Cassandra`> Mmm-hmmm...
* Terra heads into the security center, Kyouki following
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ....
<Xanatos> You'd better send Darien and message, ask what he wants you to do next.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien examines the body and the room, talking into a recorder. He use to be an investigator.
* Cassandra` then reaches over and burns a hard copy before locking down the official record in the system.
<Seraphna> "...Xan?"
<Xanatos> NRP: Xan left.
<Cassandra`> We arne't communicating over the ship comm system. And you will tell no one what you just saw.
<Chad`Winters> We both know Warren would never commit suicide.
<Seraphna> NRP: She's been sticking with him <.<;
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Suicide?!
<Chad`Winters> Especially not now, not with you and Cheryl in his life.
<Terra> "What's going on?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl curls into a ball, not talking.
* Xanatos rubs his head again. "Yeah, yeah." He stands and steps out, moving down the hallway.
* Seraphna is waiting outside security then
<Seraphna> "...Xan? What happened?"
* Cassandra` then takes her hard copy and heads to see Darien.
* Chad`Winters looks back at her. 1"We found him in his chair...gun in hand."
* Xanatos glances back. "Go to bed Sera. There's nothing you can do right now." His face is stern and he turns to walk away from her now.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He was happy...happy. He was in love...no... That's a lie. He was murdered. 6She says sternly.
<Terra> "... I guess it's nothing for me to get involved with."
<Seraphna> "...But I want to help..."
* Xanatos stops and looks back, a frown on his face. "I'm forbidden to talk about this, and I need time to think. Please."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes talking into the recorder, clicking off. He glances up when Cass arrives. "We need to get Peacemaker to do an autopsy. See if he was drugged."
<Chad`Winters> I agree Zephyr and we will find out who do this.
* Seraphna sighs and nods, heading back to her room alone.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr buries her face into Chad's shoulder. "Oh, Cheryl..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I should...I should talk to her..
* Ariel` just holds Cheryl for now... just hoping to comfort her some... she doesn't know how to deal with this sort of thing.
* Chad`Winters wraps his arms around her. 1"Yes...She needs someone right now more than anything else."
* Xanatos steps into the garden, glancing around, he moves over and sits, closing his eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is in the garden, leaning against a tree, her eyes closed.
<Terra> <Kyouki> *heads off to find Darien again too*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Can you do that? I don't exactly have a comm.
* Chad`Winters stands up, helping Zephyr to stand.
* Xanatos slowly opens his eyes and glances at Erevis. "So what do you think of all of this?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's eyes, wet, harden a bit, as if she's drawing on anger to get her through this
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Warren Carmichael would not end his own life.
<Cassandra`> Alright. I have a hard copy of the security logs.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Anything on them?
* Chad`Winters turns, helping her to Cheryl's room.
<Cassandra`> Yes...the only person who entered his room was Erevis.
<Xanatos> Of course not. Anyone who would believe that didn't know him.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then nods. "Damn."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I knew something wasn't right about her and Wind.
<Xanatos> Erevis...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
* Ariel has joined #taw
<Cassandra`> The thing is...she was so obvious on the recording that its pointless to pretend now.
* Xanatos rubs his chin. "...talk to me...what happened on that planet?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot talk to you about it.
* Ariel` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Xanatos> Why not?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Please, do not ask me again.
* Seraphna lays back in bed and sighs
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, do we confront of her about it, or get more evidence. The thing is, CAssandra, Warren shot himself. I checked it all over. He did it.
* Xanatos frowns. "Erevis..." He pauses, and looks down. "I gained a little gift..." he decides to change the subject, worried he would ruin Darien's investigation.
<Cassandra`> So then...what was the purpose of her visitation?
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's what we have to find out.
<DeathStar> <Darien> But, I'm betting she came here, and killed him. MAde him do it with his own hand.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
* Xanatos glances at her. "Not even going to ask what?"
<Chad`Winters> Computer, Location of Alpha Cheryl.
<Cassandra`> Why him, though? Why not you? Or Ariel?
<DeathStar> <Computer> Ambassador Ariel's room
<Chad`Winters> Thank you. 6He heads that way, helping Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Wind wants Ariel alive. And I wouldn't see Erevis so easily. Warren trusted her. And he was the Captani of this ship.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You can speak with plants. A unique, and special gift.
* Xanatos eyes her. "How'd you know?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I read your mind.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I keep waiting to wake up.
* Xanatos stares at her. "I didn't give you permission."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I know.
<Xanatos> Then what makes you think it was ok to read my mind?
<Chad`Winters> I keep expecting this to be some sort of trick Warren cooked up to catch someone on the ship.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I needed to know something.
<Xanatos> And what was that?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *just shakes her head.*
<Cassandra`> A target of opportunity then?
<DeathStar> <Darien> I would say so. And maybe Wind wants me in command to play against me, not Warren. Either way, Carmichael was murdered and I won't stand for that . Get this body to Peace. I want to see if he was psionically tampered with.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls off his gloves and steps out.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad arrives.
* Xanatos rubs his face and then sighs. "...i'm so confused." He admits.
* Chad`Winters knocks on the door
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis says nothing.
* Xanatos holds his hand over a blade of grass, he attempts to make it obay him and move.
<DeathStar> Session Ends
