<DeathStar> Stardate: 1 day after last episode
<DeathStar> Location: Cartel Loading Port
<DeathStar> 6* After the untimely death of Marcus involving a banana peel and a bottomless pit, the Cartel has held their end of the bargain and gotten the team smuggled into a giant crate of goods that will be shipped up to the Tsivrixsh Battleship.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits, crushed against something he doesn't want to think about
* Dias squirms slightly, constantly fidgeting.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr winces. "Stop fidgeting into my side."
<Dias> I don't like small spaces...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Tell me you don't have clausticphobia
* Ariel is now known as Em`
<Dias> What's that?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Fear of small places.
* Dias pauses, moving his head over to Zephyr's hand and using it to scratch his chin in deep thought. 1"Yeah...I have that."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ....
<DeathStar> <Darien> Wonderful.
<DeathStar> 6* The crate is grabbed and lifted up. Seems they're being loaded and moved up to the ship.
<Dias> It is?
<DeathStar> <Darien> That was sarcasm.
<Dias> Oh....6He begins fidgeting again.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Stop fidgeting into my side. 6She demands again.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms, closing his eyes, looking as if he's gone to sleep.
<Dias> Sorry...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Apology accepted.
<DeathStar> 6* The sound of ship engines can be heard, faintly, nearby.
<Dias> I think we're heading to the ship...6He fidgets again.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Dias... 6She says, warningly.
* Dias tenses up, he begins biting his lower lip as he struggles to hold still.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien meditates calmly.
* Em` is trying her best to ignore the others. It's all a bad dream... it's all a bad... ... she really doesn't want to be here.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fidgets
<Dias> Gah, my foot....
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Move it!
<Dias> Oh so it's ok for you to fidget but I can't?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I was NOT fidgeting.
<Dias> Yes you were.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Merely shifting. *she sniffs*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien remains looking peaceful and serene, despite the two
* Dias suddenly fidgets again, no longer able to hold still
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ow!
<DeathStar> 6* The sound of engines fades.
<Dias> Sorry, I was merely shifting.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
<DeathStar> 6* The crate begins to move again. Faint Tsivrixsh voices are heard.
* Dias tenses up again, trying not to move once more
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr begins to take a breath in, her nose wiggling like she's about to sneeze
* Dias eyes Zephyr and wheezels his finger under her nose.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr relaxes again.
<Dias> Ahh....crap...My arm's stuck.
<DeathStar> 6* The crate is dropped roughly to the ground, and the Tsivrixsh voices grow faint.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... stuck?!
<Dias> Yeah....I can't...6He shifts, but his arm stays where it is, stuck under her nose.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien opens his eyes after a moment and activates his energy sword, driving it into the side of the crate, cutting a hole. Oxygen flows inside as he climbs out
* Dias blinks, his eyes quickly readjusting.
* Em` quickly scrambles out after Darien, falling on the floor outside. Air! She takes deep breaths.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien lifts an eyebrow at Em, but doesn't say anything as he glances around at the black colored room.
* Dias looks over at Zephyr. 1"So....wanna make out?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... No. 6She pulls herself out, taking a deep breath, despite not needing it.
* Dias grumbles and climbs out after Zephyr
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, we need to find a computer terminal and get the information needed to access the Starcharts.
<Em`> "...I thought I was going to sufficate in there..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You could have made it another three hours in there, Em.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves over to a door, glancing out at it so check the hallway.
* Dias shifts his upperbody around as he stretches out
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands up, patting off her plain clothing.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's clear. 6He announces.
* Em` looks at Darien, "I couldn't have with all of you stealing my oxygen."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I was regulating my breathing with meditation. And Zephyr doesn't breathe. You were fine.
<Dias> And everyone knows I don't need a lot of oxygen since I rarely use my brain.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Really? Can I study that?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pinches his nose.
<Dias> Only if one of us is naked.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll pass, then.
<Dias> Well played.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out into the hallway.
* Em` follows after
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves after them, glancing around the hallway, a sniffness appearing as she gets a look at the design, thinking back to Xevil's battlestation.
* Dias follows behind Zephyr
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances left, toward the hanger, then toward the right. "We'll go that way." 6* Darien moves away from the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leads them through the dark colored hallways, with the only source of light a green beam that is in the sides of the hallway, casting it in an eerie lime glow.
* Dias glances around, eyeing the green light.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's green. 6She tells him before he makes a color crack
<Em`> "...I wonder who the interior decorator was."
* Dias looks over at Zephyr, a look of distaste that she'd do such a thing. 1"I know that."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Tsivrixsh like black and green, and blue.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh? How?
<Dias> I...Well you know.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien reaches an elevator lift, probably meant for cargo. He makes a hrm sound.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Right.
<Dias> You doubt me?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr says nothing, clearly focusing on their mission
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hits the button and the elevator lift doors open. He steps onto it, studying the button configurment.
* Dias steps onto the elevator and looks over at the buttons. 1"You should push that one." He points at one.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's the prison level.
<Em`> "...don't touch, please."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stiffens at the term prison level
<Dias> I knew that...6He points at another one. 1"I meant this one."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien apparantly decides to ignore Dias, as he says nothing
* Dias crosses his arms, hmpfing in anger.
<DeathStar> 6* He mashes another button altogether, three buttons higher than Dias'.
<DeathStar> 6* The lift closes and begins to lower.
<Dias> That was the wrong button. 6He practically sings it
<DeathStar> <Darien> Very well. Go to your floor after I step off.
<Dias> Ut.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I insist.
<Dias> Ut.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps off as the doors open, and Zephyr slides out after him. He grabs Em's arm and pulls her out, then taps the button Dias originally indicated, then leans bac kas the doors begin to close
* Em` eeps!
* Dias sticks his foot down to stop it and slide out
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gives him an innocent questioning look
* Dias just sticks his tongue out in response
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns and begins to move forward down the new hallway, which leads them to set of doors. He hits a button, and it buzzes and does not open. He glances at a card reader.
<Dias> Looks like we need a card. 6He looks at Darien.
<Em`> "...so... what was that floor anyways?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> The floor? Oh, the mess hall.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs his energy sword, holding it up to the reader, and activates it, tapping the reader lightly, causing surges into it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr keeps an eye out back toward the elevator.
<Dias> Bah...So I can't read Tsiv. Excuse me.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Then you clearly shouldn't randomly be hitting buttons.
<DeathStar> 6* The doors pop open slightly. Darien turns the blade off, then grabs the doors, straining to open them more.
<Dias> I was only randomly pointing at buttons based off a pre-calculated algorithm determined by size, shape and color.
<Em`> "There's a lot of things he shouldn't do, y'know."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You should quit talking, Dias, before I lose whatever professional estimates I have for you.
* Dias shifts around, placing his foot against the door and his hand against the wall, he begins to shove it open.
<Dias> Eh.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and Dias open the doors enough for them to pass inside into what appears to be a network of computers.
* Em` whistles as she looks inside.
* Dias eyes the computers then sighs, disapointed
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides inside as Em looks, glancing around. He sits down at a terminal, and begins to eye the keyboard and controls thoughtfully.
* Dias moves over and leans against the wall beside Zephyr. 1"Dariens a jackass..." He hmpfs, crossing his arms.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6She just looks at Dias, then back toward the elevator.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hits a few buttons, and the terminal turns on. He eyes the data, then the keyboard again.
* Dias grinds the ball of his feet into the floor, his face making odd faces as he stares at the floor
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods. "I think I understand this." 6He begins to key information.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a nice red button inside the computer area. It calls out to Dias: Push me! Push me!
* Dias blinks, glancing into the computer area. He stares at the red button.
<DeathStar> 6* It's big.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien brings up the Starcharts, then pulls out his datapad, hooking it up to the terminal, and downloads the information.
* Dias glances over at Zephyr
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr doesn't seem to notice either the button or Dias
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, this should do it. Once we get this information, we can go to their homeworld.
* Em` smiles, "Is this actually going according to plan for once?'
* Dias begins creeping into the room
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes. Not all missions have to be fighting.
* Dias suddenly drops below the computers and begins creeping towards the button.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien doesn't seem to notice, watching the dataflow.
* Dias slowly rises infront of the button, his eyes staring down at it like a deer caught in headlights
<DeathStar> <Darien> That should be all of it. 6He unplugs the datapad.
<Em`> "Now, let's get out of here without drawing attention."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Agreed.
<DeathStar> 6* Button: Doooo it, Dias
<Dias> .oO(Do it? Oh I do.) 6He reaches out and presses the big red button.
<DeathStar> 6* Alarms begin to go off. Darien looks up.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... It wasn't me!
* Em` scowls. That's drawing attention dammit!
<Dias> .oO(Uh oh...) He suddenly ducks down and begins creeping back towards Zephyr again
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up, watching the terminal doors begin to close.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns and thrusts herself between the doors, wincing as she holds them open
* Dias suddenly pops up. 1"What's going on?!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Unggrrrrr.
<Dias> Ungrrrr? What's Unggrrr?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's arm begin to creak as she pushes to hold the doors open.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien dives over the computers and to the door.
* Dias hops and begins running for the door since Darien is
* Em` telekinetically holds the doors so Zephyr can get free
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides through the doors to freedom
* Dias clamors through the doors, squeezing under Zephyr
<DeathStar> 6* DArien glances back. "Hurry, you two!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien waits for Em to make her run
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at the doors not pushing as hard.
* Em` never entered the room, she only looked inside
* Dias stares at Zephyr holding the door open for no one. 1"Unggrrr?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr has already stepped back ocen she saw there was no resistence.
* Em` scoots Zephyr ahead of her and goes to catch up with Darien
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pushes the elevator button, but nothing happens
<DeathStar> <Darien> Great.
* Dias blinks then moves over to Darien. 1"What?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tries to rotate her arm, but it seems stiff. She says nothing, just scowls.
<DeathStar> <Darien> They locked the elevator controls.
<DeathStar> <Darien> What the hell happened in there?
* Dias shrugs. 1"I have no idea."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks dubious, but has no evidence
<Em`> "Well, it wasn't me."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls out his energy sword, activates it, and jams it into the elevator doors.,
<DeathStar> 6* Darien begins to cut.
* Em` watches for trouble
* Dias jumps around, his head looking around for anything to beat up
<DeathStar> 6* Darien cuts a hole, then kicks the door in, letting it drop the shaft distance.
<DeathStar> 6* With the door behind them, and the elevator in front of them, doubtful anyone is going to sneak up
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sticks his head into the elevator, looking up and down. "I don't see anything to climb."
<DeathStar> *shaft
<Dias> A shame we can't climb on walls...That'd be cool.
<DeathStar> <Darien> By all means, try it.
<Dias> Oh I already know I don't have super powers like that...yet.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Em, can you float four of us up several levels?
<Em`> "...well... I could float up you three."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Why us three?
<Dias> Really? 6He looks at her with interest
<Em`> "Try picking yourself up."
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's... telekenitics, Em.
<Dias> What if I picked you up and you lifted me? Would that work?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien studies Dias with keen interest.
<Em`> "...no, not really."
<Dias> Well let's try anyways. 6He goes to pick her up
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, if we all jumped, can you slow all of our descents, including yourself?
* Em` frowns, then decides not to waste time explaining the physics of telekinetics. "...do you just have a rope?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Do I look like I have rope hidden on me?
* Dias grabs Em by her legs and lifts her up. 1"Now give it a try."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Dias
<Em`> "Well, you never know with utility be-hey!"
* Em` kicks at Dias, "Don't pick me up without permission!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back into the hole, letting them squabble.
<Dias> GAH! 6He drops Em quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien then pulls himself up, and drives his sword into the floor, cutting.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien makes a circular cut. "Zephyr, if you would...?" 6* Zephyr forms a blaster cannon, sticks it at the floor, and fires, blowing a circular hole into it
<DeathStar> <Darien> If we can't go up, we go down
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leaps into the hole.
* Em` glares at Dias, then tries to follow after Darien... she hopes she doesn't break her leg
* Dias looks over at Darien through the hole then climbs in afterwards
<DeathStar> 6* Darien lands 13 feet down, then grabs Em as she jumps.
<DeathStar> *catches
<DeathStar> 6* And steps right as Dias comes crashing down
* Em` smiles, "My hero." She gives Darien a small hug, and hops down.
* Dias groans as he lies there.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fals down and lands on Dias, stepping off.
* Dias squeels in pain, his body twitching
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6He glances at the elevator doors, knowing that is wrong, then down the hallway. "Okay, lets follow this hallway."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps over Dias and mvoes down it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr helps Dias up.
<DeathStar> 6* The hallway leads them past several rooms, all of which Darien ignores.
* Dias stumbles, his head snapping up. 1"Thanks crying big red doe eyed girl."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Who?
* Dias blinks, shaking his head. 1"Who, who?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just moves onward, figuring Dias is fine. He doesn't use his brain, he said.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks along, when he pauses, hearing something like marching. He glances ahead as Tsivrixsh Warriors round a corner, pouring into the hallway.
* Dias squints his eyes at Zephyr than rubs his head.
* Em` steps behind Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grimaces.
* Dias looks over at Em, then forward again, then at Em. He quickly steps behind her
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes all the warriors, her face looking dark.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, we seemed to be outnumbered. 6He notes gloomily. "Guess it's to the prison cells after all, Dias."
* Dias peers up from behind Em. 1"Prison cells?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr twitches once at the mention of the word prison, and suddenly her face flashes in anger as she forms a giant beam cannon. "DRA-GOON BUSTAH!" 6* Darien eyes it gathering energy, then dives behind Zephyr as she unleashes a hallway wide beam attack at the warriors.
* Em` freezes up as Zephyr attacks, and closes her eyes.
* Dias blinks, his jaw dropping. 1"Only I can announce my special attacks!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up as the energy dies down and the gun vanishes. The hallway is charred and the green lights spark. No sign of warriors, who either vaporized or retreated around the corner.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stumbles back, looking as if she lost most of energy.
* Dias steps forward, grabbing Zephyr as she stumbles back. 1"That...My dear, was the most sweetest attack evah!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up, eyeing the smokey hallway. "Right."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks her eyes a few times, dazed. "Sorry, I just got really angry."
<Dias> Oh don't excuse yourself. That was just plain sweet.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks along the hallway, peering around the corner. "All clear."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah... 6She sound dubious, but moves after Darien.
* Dias claps his hands together and moves after Zephyr
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances back behind them as the elevator doors open, and more Tsivrixsh pour off of it
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, it seems the elevators are unlocked again for them.
* Dias glances behind them. 1"Huh...think they'll hold it open for us?"
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh take aim at Em, who's the closest to them.
* Em` dives behind Dias. She doesn't want to get shot.
<DeathStar> 6* They fire at Dias
<Dias> Ahh.....shit.
* Dias turns and grabs Em, diving with her away.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien jerks Zephyr around the corner.
<DeathStar> 6* The shots hit the wall. The Tsivrixsh can be heard closing the gap so they can round the corner themselves
<DeathStar> <Darien> Lets run for it
<DeathStar> 6* Darien runs down the hallway.
* Dias pulls himself up, picking Em up also.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shakes herself from her daze, then follows Darien. No way she can do a repeat performance.
* Dias begins running after Zeph and Darien
* Em` doesn't complain that she is grabbed, oddly enough. Something must be wrong with her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien reaches a dead end, with a single door. He eyes it. "Stairs." 6He goes to open it, to find it locked.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh round the corner behind them, getting ready to fire.
* Dias runs and leaps up, kicking both his feet into the door.
<DeathStar> 6* The door holds it ground.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Maybe you should have called out an attack... 6He says drily
* Dias bounces off it, a look of pain flashes across his face he then looks at Darien. 1"Gotcha! SECRET DOOR OPENING KICK! 6He hops up and kicks the door again.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien motions for Em to telekentically whack the door as Dias attacks, so Dias can feel good.
* Em` smacks the door... just after Dias hits it
<DeathStar> 6* The door falls down.
* Dias stands there with his foot pressed against the door as it falls down. 1"Hah, see that?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes, indeed. 6The Tsivrixsh open fire.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien dives into the doorway
* Dias ducks and moves into the stairwell
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr and Em are left behind. You brave men, you
* Dias looks over at Darien. 1"I think we forgot something
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds up her already damaged arm to deflect shots. She winces in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* Then she leaps back into the stairway.
<DeathStar> 6* And Em...Em...?
* Em` thought she was being carried. Loser! She makes her own way in then
<DeathStar> 6*
<DeathStar> 6* Em makes it in safely, due to misunderstanding of a gentleman
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds her burnt arm, hissing through her teeth. She seems to have a Cheryl sense of predatory, as she forms a gun and fires through the doorway at the Tsivrixsh, despite it being unnecessary.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien, who was about to move up the stairs, glances back as Zephyr just freaks out.
<Dias> Zeph, let's go.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just keeps firing. "They all need to die." 6She says, almost too calmly.
<Dias> Yeah...But we also need to survive
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr keeps firing, going for kill shots.
* Em` simply nods to Zephyr in agreemen
<DeathStar> <Darien> We don't have time, Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien forcefully grabs her and yanks her over his shoulder, then rnus up the stairs.
* Em` moves her best to keep up, not able to run full out
* Dias quirks his eyebrow then moves to go behind her and stops. He looks at Em and shrugs, grabing her and tossing her over his shoulder as he runs up after Darien
<Dias> This reminds of that time me and Jo-
<DeathStar> <Darien> Don't go there.
<Dias> But it's sweet tale.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien reaches what he predicts is the hanger level, and kicks open the door, moving down a new hallway.
<Em`> "H-hey!"
* Dias runs through the doorway and into the hallway. He shifts Em around on his shoulder. 1"You can thank me later."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien reaches the hallway, which is clear of troops, except one Tsivrixsh, who looks up from working on a ship. Zephyr aims and fires, nailing him in the head.
* Em` moves for the ship... Zephyr is scarily accurate
* Dias watches the tsiv drop dead.
* Dias begins stumbling as he never let Em down.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien picks a Tsivrixsh ship, and runs up it, dropping off Zephyr, who sits there.
<Dias> Stop moving!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits down, looking over the control schemes of the ship.
* Dias runs up the ramp and tosses Em down on her butt.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Okay, I think I got this. 6He hits a button and fires a missile through the hanger, blowing up some troops who were entering
<Dias> Yeah, you keep working on that...6He moves down the ramp and looks over at Zephyr. 1"You coming aboard?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is already on it.
* Dias blinks than glances inside. 1"Ni?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm, no. Not that one. 6He hits another button, gets the engines going, then grabs the controls, turning the armored shuttle craft around, and almost hits Dias with the ramp as it begins to close
* Dias leans back in surprise than panics and grabs onto as it rises, pulling himself up and over it causing him to roll down it and into the ship
<DeathStar> 6* Darien thrusts forward, leaving the hanger
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, we should go back for the other-- 6The Battleship begins to open fire at them. "No time. We go on." 6He enters the coordinates from his datapad.
* Dias pushes himself up, his hand moving to his head. 1"Oww..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits there, hugging her knees.
* Em` sorta... flops on the floor. Laying there.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes, and leaps them into hyperspace.
* Dias looks over at the girls. 1"So...threesome?"
<Em`> *twitch*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks up at him, blinks once, as if coming out of a trance. "You're crude."
* Dias looks at Em, twitch. 1"Do..do you have a nervous twitch?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps into the back. "Well, we're on our way to Tsi'veros."
* Dias looks up and over at Darien. 1"Wait...Tsi'veros? That's there homeworld..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods. "Yes."
<Dias> That's just a lame name...
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... And Dias isn't?
<Dias> No it's not. It's a name given to the greatest warrior of my people
<DeathStar> <Darien> Your people? 6He crosses his arms, looking amused. "Tell me about this warrior and your people."
<Dias> Well this warrior is me, obviously.
<Em`> "...my name's better..." *still laying on the floor*
<DeathStar> <Darien> So you named yourself? Isn't that lame?
<Dias> No...Chad named me.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That explains everything.
* Dias stands up, eyeing Darien. 1"What the hell's that supposed to mean?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr checks Em over.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Are you okay, Em? 6He ignores Dias' question
* Em` isn't physically hurt... just... a little distraught.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien seems to wait for an answer.
* Dias scowls at Darien.
<Em`> "...y... yeah... I'm alright..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Okay. If you need to talk, you know where to find me. 6He moves up for the cockpit.
* Dias grumbles as Darien walks by
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr remains quiet, sulky even
* Dias moves over to Zephyr and plops down beside her. 1"What kind of jackass makes fun of a guys name.."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You would.
<Dias> I would nev....6He pauses. 1"Only if it was humerous."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gives him a scolding look
<Dias> What?! A huge guy wearing a pink shirt named Stacey is going to be made fun of
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Why would a shirt be called Stacey?
<Dias> No, the guy's name is Stacey. He's just wearing a pink shirt
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Then why did yo usay the pink shirt was named Stacey?
<Dias> I forgot a comma didn't i?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Huh?
<Dias> Nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* The TAW logo spins with a comma
<DeathStar> 6* Several, several, several, several hours later, with Em subjected to the wily Dias, they arrive in the Tsivrixsh homeworld system
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the dark system, with it's almost blueish star.
<Dias> And that was how I saved christmas.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is asleep, thankfully
<Em`> "...I think I saw that movie before."
<Dias> ....It was based off me.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flies them toward Tsi'veros.
* Dias yawns, stretching out widely
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes a transmission as he nears the planet, with a dark spacestation in orbit. He turns it on, voice only, and begins to talk in Tsivrixsh
* Dias stands and makes his way to the front. 1"What are you doing?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses in mid-talking as Dias' Basic speech comes over the audio. He sits there, like he just got sucker punched, and suddenly an angry Tsivrixsh voice is heard
<Em`> "......"
* Dias blinks and looks at Darien then at the transmission. 1"What?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Oh hell. 6He just turns off the transmission and grabs the controls. "Hold on."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien boosts past the station toward the planet. Zephyr wakes up, blinking in confusion as the ship accelerates.
<Em`> "...announcing yourself to the enemy is never a good thing."
* Dias tumbles backwards and rolls along the ground to the back
* Em` holds on tight ;.;
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr goes tumbling into Em
<DeathStar> 6* The station, slow to respond, opens fire after they're already into the atmosphere of the dark planet. They swoosh past dark clouds at a fast rate.
* Dias slides into Zephyr and Em
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr winces. "What's going on?"
* Em` holds onto Zephyr so she doesn't slide, "Dias told them we were here."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What? WHY?
<Dias> I just wanted to know what was going on!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So you ASKED the Tsivrixsh?!
<Dias> No....I asked. What are you doing?
<DeathStar> <Zepyr> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle suddenly shakes and there's a grinding sound as everything stops moving.
<Em`> "...are we dead?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No.
<Dias> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Dias.
<Dias> Yes?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Don't tease her
<Dias> Oh
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps into the back. "We're down safely near the primary city."
<DeathStar> <Darien> But I suggest we move - now.
<Dias> Ok...6He stands up again and moves to the ramp
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands up as well, helping Em to her feet. Darien surges past them and hits the ramp button, and it opens
* Em` gets up with help, heading to the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien breaths in the smokey air, and eyes the dark skies.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Cheerful place.
<Dias> No wonder why they're so angry.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You think there's a chemical in the air?
<Dias> What do you mean?
* Em` looks up, "...it's depressing."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You indicated the weather made them angry.
* Dias motions to Em. 1"She understands atleast
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hops off the ramp, glancing at the lights of a city nearby, like a spotlight in dark. He moves off for it
<Dias> I wonder if it's true what John said about the females...6He moves after Darien.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What's that?
<Dias> That there beautiful.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances over his shoudler.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares a moment, then hurries onwardf
* Dias shrugs and moves after.
<Em`> "...he'll never change, Zephyr. Don't think about it."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien quirks a eyebrow
* Dias glances around as he walks.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks once, then remembers Em can ready thoughts. She tries to focus on the objective
* Dias looks at Zephyr again. 1"Wait...you were thinking something."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> N-No.
<Dias> You studdered. Lies!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
<Dias> How can I be strive to be honest when you the people around me won't be? 6He looks at her like a child would a mentor.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I was thinking about the mission
<Dias> You'd studder a response to that?
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well...
<Em`> "It's okay Zephy, he doesn't have to worry. He just doesn't think."
* Dias waves his hand, telling her to go on.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Um, what she said.
* Dias looks at Em, a look of insult on his face. 1"I do to think!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks along, and they begin to near the city.
<Dias> I can't help it I just go with my insticts 90% of the time.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Instincts, eh?
<Dias> Yep. 6He nods, beaming with proud.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Shame they fail you 90% of the time
<Dias> Har har har...I'm still alive aren't I?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien makes a hrm sound
<Dias> And with these good looks. 6He points his thumbs at himself. 1"I can get through anything.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves them through the outskirts of the city, using the dark to his advantage to move through the outer suburb type area - though it looks more like a prison area.
<Em`> "This is horrible..."
* Dias scratches his chin as he looks around. 1"All hail the empire, eh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Some Tsivrixsh can be heard approaching, so Darien kneels down.
* Dias squats down, letting his great night vision do the seeing
<DeathStar> 6* A male and female Tsivrixsh walk by. Yes, the females are indeed hot, looking almost like Erusians, as they have black hair.
* Dias 's jaw drops, a puddle of drool appearing below him
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes him
<DeathStar> 6* They pass onward, and Darien stands up. "Well, lets go."
* Dias shakes his head, wiping the drool from his chin. He stands up.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves onward. Zephyr just makes a snort sound, and follows.
* Dias watches Zephyr walk by him. 1"What?" He starts walking.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr says nothing.
* Em` shakes her head, and pats Zephyr understandingly on the shoulder.
* Dias just stares in disbelief at the two.
<DeathStar> 6* After working their way through the suburbs, and a few more close encounters, they reach the main city, with tall black buildings, and more Tsivrixsh moving about, and a few other races. There seems to be businesses and other shops as they reach the livelier area of the city, presumably.
<Dias> I told you the females were hot, unlike their male counterparts.
<DeathStar> 6* A Tsivrixsh female, wearing a hookerish outfit, stands on the side of the street, showing off her goods. She smiles at Dias. "Hu-man want fun?" 6She offers.
* Dias blinks, his head instantly turning towards her.
<DeathStar> 6* She looks him over, giving him an alluring look
* Dias reaches into his pockets for cash then scowls, having lost it all.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr makes another snorting sound. She's getting good at it.
* Dias turns and catches upto the others.
* Em` just sighs.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes all the Tsivrixsh as they walk by, giving them hard looks. Darien idlely wonders if she might just go on a killing spree.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances around, noticing that some of the Tsivrixsh are giving them odd looks. While they don't bother the four of them, he figures they are a rare sight.
* Dias slides upto Zephyr and places his arm around her shoulder and pulls her in. He points at something.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gives him a look at touching her.
* Em` gives Dias a look, for touching Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gives Dias a look for getting a look from Em for touching Zephyr
* Dias looks at himself in a reflection off a pain of glass and smiles at himself
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shifts her shoulders. "Why don't you go find another Tsivrixsh hooker, Dias?"
<Dias> ...Do you actually think I'd pay for sex?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes.
<Dias> Well you're wrong.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Then why did you reach into your pockt?
<Dias> Because I knew I didn't have any money and I wanted to atleast let her believe I was interested so she didn't feel put off.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Whatever. You don't have to explain it to me.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses. "Uh, guys?"
<Dias> Oh come o-...6He looks over at Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks up as some Tsivrixsh men begin to approach them from all sides. "We have trouble."
