* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20080130.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: Immediately Thereafter
<DeathStar> Location: The Presidential/Executive Building
<DeathStar> 6* The team, after having learned that the President plans to use the satelite defense network on key locations on Earth, have now been confronted by the apparantly deaged, and living, Alexander Cran
* Chii pounds her fist into the car's dash several times, gritting her teeth together. Her canines show among them most admirably. Oddly, or not, enough, however, her eyes water.
<Marcus`> Whoa whoa whoa. This is your dad? He looks to Angela.
<Marcus`> NRP: *He looks to Angela.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Not exactly.
* Cassandra` pinches the bridge of her nose.
* Angela looks to Marcus, "It's a long story."
* Chad`Winters moves up the stares, helping Warren up the stairs.
<Marcus`> Well i've got all day. *he notes*
<Angela> "But this Cran is new."
<Marcus`> *Theron is assisting Warren on the opposite side of Chad.
<Angela> "We don't, what's the plan Alexander?"
<Cassandra`> Answers later...save human civilization first.
<Angela> "Exactly."
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stands there, waiting patiently.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander sits down in the President's chair before he speaks again. "Well, the most likely place Talon would have gone is the military base located outside Tokyo. It's closest, and it's one of the few locations that he could access the defense network. 6* He pulls out a datapad, hooking it into the computer
* Angela continues to support Darien.
<Angela> "Assuming he's cut off all other defense network controls?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes a seat on some debris, figuring this might take a bit. He glances up as they bring in Warren. Warren immediately grabs Chad's gun and aims it at Darien
* Chad`Winters grabs Warren's hand, only to stiffen up as he see's Cran. His eyes' narrowing. 1"Cran first."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts*
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander looks up. "Hello, Chad."
* Angela remains at a fixed distance from Cran, she's speaking calmly but she eyes him like a hawk.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances at Cran, he tilts his head, eyeing him carefully.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks over Warren's bloodied form.
* Marcus` lets out a whistle. "Jesus man. They fucked you up."
<Cassandra`> Welcome to the end of the3 world, gentlemen.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It WAS painful to watch, Warren, I assure you.
* Chad`Winters growls slightly. 1"Always showing up at the most opportune times."
* Angela walks over to Warren and pulls out some pain killers and a nanite shot. "Running out of these."
<DeathStar> 6* The Vice President speaks sternly. "No one is shooting anyone. We have to stop the President."
* Chii slumps foreward and cries on the steering wheel. She's not about to leave Cheryl alone in the car, and whatever's keeping the others upstairs seems to be taking a while.
* Marcus` frowns and rubs his face. "This place is getting crowded. I'll just be out here." He motions to the stairwell, stepping out into it.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Only when I'm needed. 6* He goes back to his work.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves out with Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Angela dangerously.
* Angela continues holding the meds out to him. "You can glare at me all day, I'm trying to help."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just shifts away.
* Marcus` sits down on a stair. "It's time like these that I wish I smoked or something. To pass the time, you know."
* Angela puts the meds away and sighs a bit. "Whatever."
<Chad`Winters> Darien, where's my stuff. 6He stares at Cran.
<DeathStar> <Darien> What stuff?
* Cassandra` checks her gun in the meantime...
* Angela walks over to see what Alexander is doing.
<DeathStar> <DArien> Oh, that stuff. Not sure.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander is looking at Internet Porn.
<DeathStar> 6* Just kidding
<Chad`Winters> Ok, now you can shoot him. 6He notes to Warren.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'd imagine near where you got Warren.
<Angela> "Need help?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts again as he sits down painfully.
<Marcus`> *Theron makes sure Warren can stand on his own and steps to the side. "I'm am worried about those we left at the base."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander keeps working, not answering
* Angela eyes the screen, watching.
* Chad`Winters turns, stepping out moving back downstairs
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC pulls her mask off, letting her hair drop.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander glances up at SPoC, a flicker of interest on his face, but then he looks back down, tapping a button, bringing up the military base layout.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Here.
<Angela> "Mmm..." *she studies it*
<DeathStar> 6* It only has one way inside, and the military structure is enough to survive a direct attack from a battleship.
<Angela> "We're going to need to get past that door."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes. Yes you will. 6* He glances at his chronometer. "I imagine it will take about an hour to realign all the satelites to face Earth."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> A little more time to get them to fire.
<Cassandra`> So....anyone have a big key?
<DeathStar> <Vice President> I would imagine the President locked the building from the inside, and has military personnel protecting the insides.
<Cassandra`> ...what type of soldiers in their right mind would follow those crazy orders...?
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, basically, we're facing a Mission: Impossible scenaro?
<Angela> "Destroying the satellites themselves, or overriding them, completely illogical?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I imagine they're in the dark.
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Destroying the satellite swould leave us defenseless.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Completely. We don't have any orbital ships. And would leave, as she pointed out, defenseless.
<Marcus`> <Theron> The Tsiv would have a great day if the satellite's would be destroyed
<DeathStar> <Alexander> If the Tsivrixsh knew about the current crisis, they'd jump in.
<Angela> "True, though defenseless is a step up from extinction."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> What makes you think extinction? 6* He sounds puzzled.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander then shakes his head as if her thought process was too incomplete to follow anyway.
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> There was no mention of such a thing. Only the destruction of key enemy structures
<DeathStar> <Darien> I imagine this place. And Warren's base, and the surrounding area.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Would the others be far enough away from the satelite's range...? 6* She speaks up questioningly.
<Angela> "Well then..."
<Cassandra`> Can you guarantee he will stop there?
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> It would depend on how fast they move.
* Angela looks at Katrina, "Assuming they found transport."
<Angela> "Cassandra's voicing my thoughts."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Talon wants to control. You can't control what you destroy.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I am most curious about the Dark One's role in this current plan.
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> No, but scarring an entire planet is not what's best.
<Angela> "True, but he's enough of a nutter to sell his soul."
<Angela> "People do strange things when they have too much power."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander waves his hand. "Either way, we can't let them fire, so it's a moot point what we think he'll do."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> What is important is simply getting in that base.
<Cassandra`> Yeah...
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Agreed.
<Angela> "Agreed."
<Angela> "So let's get to it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander nods, glad they see his wisdom.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Yes. Somehow we will need to mount an offensive against that one door.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright. But where will we find the fire power?
<DeathStar> <Darien> My gun doesn't exactly damage metal plates like that.
<Angela> "I know one thing that could take out the door, but we left her at the base."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren listens, doing his thing as he considers.
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> If it is the only entrance, it will make a long fight to Talon himself.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Who?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> WAit, wait, you want to use Erevis to open the door?
<Angela> "Erevis, she's shown us she can channel her hyperspace to destroy things."
<Cassandra`> Rail gun isn't big enough to bust through that.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina huffs. "She's looks like she wasn't beat to death."
<DeathStar> *was
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You think she could seriously open that thing?
<DeathStar> <Warren> *stands* We have little options. Vice President, we need a shuttle to find the rest of the team. If Erevis can get us a little ways in, perhaps Freyja can teleport in if they haven't implemented devices to prevent it.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Lady Erevis has a great strength.
<Angela> "Not without pain, I can't channel hyperspace anymore though, and our other progenitor went rogue."
* Chii smacks the steering wheel, rubbing her eyes with the other arm and sniffing. 1"What the fuck is taking them so long?"
<DeathStar> 6* The Vice President moves to make the necessary calls. Alexander stands. "Here is the datapad with the base layout, so once you're inside, you can move quickly. I wouldn't hestitate to do whatever it takes to win, even if it means a few innocent soldiers have to die."
* Angela takes the datapad.
* Chad`Winters steps back inside the room. He adjusts his belt and his holsters.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren wipes his jaw, slinging blood. "I'll be the judge of what's necessary."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back, not getting into a pissing contest.
* Angela just sighs and looks over everything, making a copy to her own datapad.
<Marcus`> *Theron rubs his chin. "Perhaps Miss Myria could gather some aid, but I do not believe it will arrive in time." He notes with a frown.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander just shrugs.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> So tell me, Chad, how is Aya doing? 6* He asks him, sounding concerned.
* Angela stiffens a little and walks away from Alexander, recalling the pain suddenly.
<Chad`Winters> Sure you want to go there? 6He raises his head slightly, his eyes focusing back on Alexander again.
<Angela> "Shoot each other after we save the world please."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander shrugs again. "There's always time for inner violence after that, I imagine."
<Cassandra`> Tick tock...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just heads outside, to wait for the shuttle. It'll take him time to limp there, anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grunts, standing slowly, holding his stomach. "Onward and all that jazz."
* Chad`Winters steps out after Warren.
* Angela supports Darien and helps him out.
* Cassandra` heads out after Warren.
* Chad`Winters moves his hand across his tact belt. He holds his hand out to Warren.
* Marcus` glances up as people start stepping out. "Ah good. I was about to fall asleep." He starts heading down.
<Marcus`> *Theron stands there for a moment, then turns and steps out.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC slings her rifle across her back and she turns, moving out.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Which is a shame cuz I was getting ready to shove him down the stairs. 6He moves after Marcus, shoving him lightly
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps out and eyes the car, then Chii. "Don't know how to drive without hitting people?"
* Marcus` stumbles slightly. "Ass."
* Chii steps out of the car, attempting to hide her raw eyes, gesturing at the hood in annoyance, especially the high calibur hole.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pops something in his mouth that Chad handed him.
<Angela> "Note to self, she never gets to pilot the shuttle."
<Chad`Winters> Where's Cheryl? 6His tone is serious
<Chii> I was parked, you jackass. Where's the mechanical mom? I want to slug her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren thumbs back at Cass
* Chii glances away, moving her hand to point to the passenger seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is in the passenger seat, unconscious. Katrina moves around to check her condition
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I know. 6He steps onto the street with Marcus.
<Angela> "Chii, is Cheryl alright?"
* Chad`Winters moves over, standing beside Kat.
<Chii> She overdid it, of course, but she should be fine for now.
* Marcus` tilts his head. "Looks like Scar was having a bad day." He frowns dramatically.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Scar's head and brain matter, then Cassandra. "Nice."
* Angela sighs and runs her free hand through her hair.
<Cassandra`> ..hmmph...ok...seen the body...he's dead.
* Chad`Winters eyes Cheryl then pulls out a small flask and opens it. He holds it under Cheryls nose.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up as a military shuttle arrives, landing near them.
* Chii marches around the car and stomps toward Cassandra.
<Angela> "You sure? Maybe you should shoot him a few more times."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't so much as twitch
<Marcus`> *Theron steps out.
<Angela> "Chad."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes a gun and fires into Scar's face repeatedly. "There. Dead."
* Chad`Winters tilts his head. He then moves around Kat and grabs Cheryl, pulling her out of the car.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holsters it, looking up as the shuttle finishes landing
<Cassandra`> ...is that even your car? Come on.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves to help support Cheryl, since Chad isn't in the best shape.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC steps out now and moves over to the others.
* Angela thumbs up at Warren. She looks at Darien.
* Marcus` lets out a whistle. "Remind me to not taunt or jeer at Warren." He tells Dias.
* Chad`Winters glances at Kat then nods to her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Noted.
* Chii brings the shotgun off her shoulder, spins it around and plants the stock where Cassandra's jawline meets the neck. Nothing's said.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets onto the shuttle, letting out a breath. "So, lets try not to wreck this one."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll fly.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Then please do not allow me to pilot it. *he steps on*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks past Chii and Cassandra. "Play later. Save friends now."
* Chad`Winters carries Cheryl to the shuttle with Kat.
* Chad`Winters quietly moves onto the shuttle.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: SPoC
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lays Cheryl down on the seats, then checks her gut wound. "She sure knows how t otake damage."
<Cassandra`> ...didn't even feel it. *steps to the side and then forward*
* Angela helps Darien in and smiles a little, she then goes over to Cheryl, taking out her medical gear.
<Chad`Winters> She's stubborn. 6He slowly lifts up her tact suit, judging the wound better this way.
* Marcus` pulls his arms up in a stretch and steps onto the shuttle now.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets onto the shuttle.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias hops up after Marcus.
<Chii> Fucking mechanical behemoth. I swear I'll short circuit your secondhand brain if you ever do that again!
<DeathStar> 6* It's partially begun healing, though she needs rest, relaxation, and beer.
* Chii puts a hand to her face and follows along, twitching.
* Cassandra` boards the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pops another pill. He needs to be high to deal with this
* Angela checks the last dosage of nanites and takes out another.
<Angela> "Strained herself too much... again."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander watches them from the high floor point, a strange look on his face as he observes the team.
<Cassandra`> Do what? Make sure the bad guy stays dead? You just stopped in front of the building with the soldiers who were trying to kill us and parked?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks over at Dias. "I guess you can fly. No one else is volunteering."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll pass on flying. Ungh.
* Angela injects the nanites near the wound site and pulls out some bandages, fixing Cheryl up as best she can.
<Chad`Winters> She'll be fine. 6He stands up, lowering her tact suit back down
<Chii> Are you having a memory relapse? We stayed outside to make sure you weren't stepped on by a three-story tall tin man! I parked outside to pick your asses up and give Cheryl a break. What'd you want me to do? Drive it into the side of the building?
<Angela> "Yeah she will."
<Marcus`> If you two don't play nice, i'll put you in a corner.
<Cassandra`> Evacuate her while she was down.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Kick ass. 6He moves upto the front, pulling the old pilot out.
<DeathStar> 6* The squirrel falls over.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Everyone aboard?
* Chii clenches her fingers. 1"I did, you ...gh.." 6Turns and jerks a thumb at Cassandra. 1"Isn't she some sci-fi wonder woman? Shouldn't she have... like... logic circuits!?"
* Angela makes sure Cheryl's secure and moves to the copilot seat.
<Angela> "If they aren't then they miss out, we're on a clock here."
* Chii goes to sit by Cheryl, oozing wonderful thoughts and emotions for Katrina.
<Chad`Winters> She did what I would've done myself Chii.
<Marcus`> *Theron takes the co-pilot's seat. As no one else is volunteering. "It would seem that way." He informs Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs, wishing she had a vicodin
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lifts the shuttle up, closing the ramp.
<Marcus`> No wonder this team split it two. Put us all together and check it out, bitching left and right.
* Chad`Winters moves over and sits down.
* Angela looks at back at the team, eyeing thier injuries. "Anyone else need attention?"
<Chii> Scarface landed in front of me while I was watching. I could handle the prick when he's half-conscious. Shooting him from fifty or whatever stories up when I'm less than an arm's width away is totally fucking unnecessary. That's all.
* Cassandra` straps herself in.
* Angela wishes Chii had a mute button.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Team spirit. 6* He holds up a fist.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... *debates shooting Darien*
<Marcus`> You're just mad that you didn't get a soul. Eh Chii Chii?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns the shuttle upwards and takes off
<Chii> This has happened before. I can handle disappointment, there's plenty of scumbags on this planet.
<Chad`Winters> So how do we find them than? Since I'm assuming none them were told of Warren's emergency plans.
<Marcus`> Go find you a crackhead that's about to die, and feed him more crack. Then take his soul. Duh.
* Chii sneers slightly. 1"The last thing I need is a stray bullet from an ally taking out Cheryl when she's done enough damage to herself."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I guess I have to emotionally feel them out
* Angela looks at Warren. "Do you have any form of tracking on those we left behind?"
* Chad`Winters looks over at Kat. 1"Good luck with all this going on."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes
<Chii> Actually it should be easy, Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls out his datapad, showing a datapad showing "Freyja" with a dot
<Angela> "THat'll do."
<Chii> ...Well, that's even easier.
<Marcus`> *Theron quietly watches the sensors, as to not bother Dias while he pilots.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Let me see that. 6He hold shis hand backwards
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm simplistic. 6* He says in his somber tone, making it impossible to tell if he's joking
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tosses it over.
* Chii crosses her arms. 1"Freyja's not labyrinthed at the moment. I can feel her pretty easy anyway when we're close."
* Chad`Winters snorts.
<Angela> "With the amount of chips he puts in people? It has to be easy."
<Marcus`> Bloody fucking chip. *he grumbles*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias takes it, looking at it. He turns it upside down. 1"Much better."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pops a third pill after that one
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> T-Minus: 45 mins
<DeathStar> 6* Billy skips along the logs, dragging Setsuna with her
<Angela> * Jennifer hops over a log, looking back at Aya.
<Angela> * Darce keeps carrying Erevis along. "...She weighs a bit more then she looks you know."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya walks along, quiet and pensive, and a bit sulky. She rubs at her eyes like a little child would at times.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *drinks a delicious Omega Coke*
<Chii> 6Freyja floats ever so slightly along, still keeping closest to Jennifer and Aya. Lilith levitates Drake atop his bed while carrying Raquel in her arms.
<Chii> <Lilith> ...You could set the unconscious one with Sir Drake. I am sure he would not mind.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake drools
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, an orbital battleship appears above the forest, and begins to fire into it
<DeathStar> *atmosphere.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eeks, flails her arms, and falls over.
<Chii> <Megumi> ...We should consider a location that is accessible from the air but not inherently visible.
<Angela> * Darce puts Erevis down on the bed. "Eh it's no difference then setting her on a vegetab---"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks up, looking freaked out
<Chii> 6Megumi stops to peer upward, adjusting her glasses.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Run away!
<Angela> * Jenn puts an arm around Aya. "It's okay..."
<Chii> <Freyja> Calm yourselves. Panicking would serve no purpose to rational response.
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja's suddenly shot in the back
<DeathStar> <Voice> Please. Panick.
<Chii> 6Freyja drops from the air enough to stumble into the ground. She remains there.
<Angela> * Jenn turns, keeping defensively in front of Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar stands there, holding a gun.
<Chii> 6Megumi whirls, taking up a fighting pose. 1"..."
<Angela> Darce> "Who the hell are you."
<DeathStar> <Scar> This is my lucky break. Finding you all before anyone else.
<Chii> 6Lilith merely peers over her shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya turns around, backing away to hide like Chad taught her.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *turns as well*
<Angela> * Jenn keeps in between Scar and Aya. "You..."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy stands up, wiping away at her dress.
<DeathStar> 6* Soldiers are teleported in around them.
<Chii> <Lilith> Lady Raquel is unconscious. Orders, Mistress Billy?
<DeathStar> <Billy> *cups her hands together, peering at the solders, then Scar* Kill 'em all.
<Chii> 6Lilith gazes between all the soldiers, eyeing their equipment and effects.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Now, really, what is a bunch of pint sized brats like you and a dog going to do?
<DeathStar> 6* Standard equipment, full of nice metal parts.
<Chii> 6Megumi eyes Lilith, then Freyja on the ground. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Scar> Surrender nicely, and I'll present you alive to my bosses.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Hmmmm... *rocks on her heels*
<Angela> * Darce glares, a light above his eye going red. "And one pissed off Atlean."
<DeathStar> <Scar> Whatever. *waves his hand*
<Chii> 6Lilith then sets the bed on the ground and turns slowly. 1"Will you surrender, enemy leader?"
<DeathStar> <Scar> Hah hah. *slaps his knee* Surrender. Hooo, boy. No, listen closely this time. YOU will surrender to ME. 6* He spells it out in the air with a finger
<Angela> Darce> "I'm gonna enjoy this."
<DeathStar> <Billy> *shakes her head, then begins to sing a nursey rhyme about the Dark Plague.*
<Chii> 6Lilith holds up her hand, and yanks everything metal outside of the party's inner radius in a maelstrom pattern. Megumi tenses, ready to repel things defensively, and Freyja flickers, a bit to the side near a tree for cover, forming a light arrow aimed for Scar's backside, perhaps eye for an eye in mind.
<Chii> <Lilith> He seems not of sound mind.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar stares, then he gets hit in the back. "OW! HOLY FUCK." 6* He spins around. "It's fucking Robin Dog and her merry band of midgets."
<Angela> * Darce goes right for Scar's mind, seeking to melt brain.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar seems immune.
<Chii> 6Freyja flickers, changing trees to the right side now, and fires at Scar's side.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar rolls his eyes and grabs Erevis as Darce attacks, and yanks her in the way of the attack
<Chii> 6Lilith focuses on basically pelting the normal soldiers with their own equipment.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Here, take this for me.
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers freak out as they're hit.
* Cassandra` forms a light blade when the metal starts.
<Chii> 6Freyja blinks, veering the arrow upward and disappating it in the air. 1"..."
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> forms a light blade when the metal starts.
<Angela> *Darce pulls her back.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar is jerked along. "H-Hey!"
<DeathStar> <Scar> Fine, fine. *he lets go, holding up his hands* So you guys aren't pushovers.
<DeathStar> <Scar> BUT CAN YOU BEAT THAT? 6* He points dramatically behind them all
<Angela> * Darce stares, letting Scar either let go or get close, he catches her. THree spikes floating around him.
<Chii> 6Megumi keeps her eyes focused on Scar. She lets her ears see if anything's behind them.
<Angela> Darce> "Whatever it is, it doesn't have my interest as much as you."
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *walks over and moves to stamp on Scar's foot*
<Chii> 6Lilith gazes over her shoulder to see.
<Angela> * Jenn does look back, keeping cover over Aya.
<DeathStar> <Scar> That's too bad. 6* A Dark Blast from a Gear hits Darce in the back, blowing away flesh and bone.
<DeathStar> <Scar> I tried to warn you.
<Chii> <Freyja> ...Well, I haven't a clue how to deal with -that-
<Angela> *Darce lets four spikes fly at him as he falls forward, groaning.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar then makes a face as Myria stomps his foot. "JESUS. What the fuck, woman?"
<DeathStar> 6* Scar is hit, and he falls over.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya remains hidden, like an expert
<Chii> 6Lilith redirects the soldiers in armour and their equipment at the gear, obscuring it.
<Angela> Darce> "Told you... I had my focus on you bastard."
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Gear blasts them away.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *then stabs at Scar as he goes down*
<Chii> <Lilith> Retreat is advised.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Holy fuck, are you kidding me? Are you fucking alive after that? 6* He rolls to avoid the stab
<DeathStar> 6* Then sweepdrops Myria.
<Angela> *Darce makes the spike in Scar farthest from Myria explode.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar howls, yanks out a spike, and stabs Myria's leg
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *leaps off with her feet and then over, giving herself a TK boost, slashing at him again.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Do that now, sshole
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Gear aims at Darce and fires again
<DeathStar> 6* Scar rolls away, yanking out two more spikes.
<Angela> * Darce leaps aside, still holding Ere.
<Chii> 6Freyja launches another arrow at Scar. 1"Um... gear's... still there."
<Angela> *Darce makes teh spikes in Scar's hands go boom.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar lets go seconds before, but he's knocked backwards out of sight
<DeathStar> 6* The Gear is attacked from behind, being slashed across it's back.
<Angela> * Jenn takes cover with Aya, it's a freaking GEAR after all.
<DeathStar> 6* It begins to turn to face it's new attacker - zombie Drake
<Chii> 6Freyja turns her attention to the gear, blinking. 1"...What now?"
<Chii> <Freyja> ...
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *narrows her eyes, trying to spot Scar.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar hides expertly in the forest.
<Chii> 6Megumi holds out the green sphere and forms the dual-bladed zanbato and joins Drake, slashing at an ankle joint. 1"Retreat while we have time."
<Angela> * Jenn looks to Aya, "You alright?"
<Chii> 6Lilith stares at the bed with only Erevis on it, and lifts it, beginning to move deeper into the woods. Freyja floats to where she was. 1"Jennifer, Aya? Shall we?"
<DeathStar> 6* Scar puts his gun into Jenn's back. "No, but thanks for asking
<DeathStar> 6* Scar wraps his bloodied arm around Jenn's back, going for hostage.
<DeathStar> 6* The Gear is hit again. IT fires dark beams out at MEgumi and Drake.
<Angela> Jenn> "Bastard..."
<DeathStar> <Scar> Say, you smell nice. You been girlying yourself up?
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> ...I don't see him...
<DeathStar> <Billy> *points* He's there, Myria.
<Chii> 6Megumi snerks and twists to the side, turning to slash it twice in a rapid motion, changing to the scythe as she lands to strike at the foot itself.
<Angela> Jenn> "Screw you."
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Gear fires missiles up intot he air, and back down on Megumi.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Thanks! *dashes tward where Billy pointed*
<DeathStar> <Scar> You're a bit young. You cute little whore.
<Chii> 6Megumi retreats copiously, using force to divert some of the more directly hitting effects since she can't dodge it all.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar turns, putting Jenn in between him and Myria. "Whoa, whoa, blueberry."
<Angela> Jenn> "You're sick."
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> ...now you're just being a dork.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sits there, watching with big eyes.
<Angela> * Jenn doesn't struggle with a gun pressed to her.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Well, fuck you!
<DeathStar> 6* Scar says to MYria.
<Chii> 6Freyja flickers behind Scar when he turns away from her, reaching out to grab Jennifer, then focuses, trying to retreat with her, but it takes a second longer.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Say...that's a nice gun...what type is it?
<DeathStar> 6* Scar blinks, then fires the trigger to shoot Jenn.
<Chii> 6Freyja retreats with her, hopefully before she's shot.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Gear tracks Megumi, apparantly not caring who it shoots.
<Chii> 6Lilith pauses when she notices no one is behind her. She retracks slightly, glancing around for anyone.
<DeathStar> <Scar> This? Well, I don't know. Do I look like a fucking military gun nut?
<Chii> 6Megumi begins leading it in an arc away from the others.
<Angela> * Jenn looks over for Aya as she's pulled away.
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, Jenn would probably be hurting. From being SHOT.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya covers her ears. "Notagainnotagainnotagain."
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *TKly pulls the guns internals apart then leaps at him, blade extended*
<Angela> * Jenn is, bleeding too. "G-Guess you were too slow..."
<DeathStar> <Scar> Well, fuck. THAT was totally unexpected and uncalled for.
<Chii> <Freyja> Jennifer, are you alright...?" 6Eyes her wound. 1"Oh, how cute. You're blaming me."
<Chii> <Freyja> Can you do better next time?
<DeathStar> <Scar> CHEATING LITTLE COCKWHORE BLUE BITCH
* Angela smiles softly. "Just assuming Dad will... I'll try..."
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Uncalled for?! You shot an unarmed girl in the back?! *slashe sat him*
<DeathStar> 6* Scar is slashed. He stumbles and stumbles into a tree.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Sorry?
* Angela groans, "I think... he missed vitals... but... yeah that's blood..."
<Angela> * Jennifer
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Gear keeps trying to find Megumi, blowing up trees and squirrels.
* Angela is now known as Jennifer`
<Chii> 6Freyja peers toward Myria. 1"...I'm not exactly unarmed." 6Since Myria seems to have it under control, she focuses on expelling energy into healing Jennifer.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *forms a second light blde in her left hand and dashes at Scar, scissor slashing at him*
<Chii> 6Megumi sighs grandly, dashing through trees, eventually she darts to the left a ways, pausing. She's panting heavily and needs a break.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar eeps and falls flat on his back. "Can't we talk about this?!"
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *was also referring to Jen as unarmed*
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Gear continues onward.
<DeathStar> 6* A military shuttle arrives.
<DeathStar> 6* The battleship, deciding it's time to flee, once sensing reinforcements, putters off, leaving Scar 2 behind
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Sorry, but...ummm...no? *slashes at each side of Scar, toward the squishy stuff in the middle*
<DeathStar> <Scar> HEY! WAIT! COME ON! COMEEEEE ON!
<Jennifer`> Darce> *pulls himself up, groaning, a chunk of one shoulder missing*
<Chii> 6Lilith returns to the clearing, peering at the events. She sets the medical bay bed atop Scar, leaving his head out of course.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar is cut in half, right as the shuttle lands, right where Chii could see it
<DeathStar> 6* Drake lays around, brain dead.
<Chii> <Lilith> The others may have wished to interrogate him, Lady Myria. That was unnecessary.
* Jennifer` smiles at Freyja, "Thanks..."
<Chii> 6Chii just sighs.
<Chii> <Chii> Fucking teases.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps out, looking for Jenn
* Marcus` glances out of the shuttle, then pauses. "So how many times we gotta kill that guy?"
* Chad`Winters quickly moves down, his eyes darting around.
* Chii peers between Cassandra and Myria. 1"Are you two related or something!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Scar reverts back to his true form - some unnamed shapeshifter
* Jennifer` pulls herself up, her clothes bloodied but she seems okay.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> He tried to kill Jennifer!
<Chii> <Freyja> More times, it seems. I'm assuming yours was not the real one either.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks over and shoots him in the face repeatedly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Eh, I'm not complaining.
<Chii> <Chii> Hey, I do sometimes, too.
<Chad`Winters> AYA. 6He turns around as he looks.
<Chii> 6Megumi saunters onto the scene. 1"We must leave immediately."
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> What's happening?
<Chii> <Megumi> That gear will return before it rendezevous with the battleship.
<Marcus`> Whoa whoa. Gear? I don't see a gear.
<DeathStar> <WArren> We'll explain on the way. Get on the shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes Jenn's arm, leading her on
<Chii> <Megumi> That is the idea. Let us begone.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pops up from hiding
<Jennifer`> * Jenn lets herself be led, motioning Aya to follow.
<Chii> 6Megumi boards the shuttle, gazing toward Aya's location blindly, then opening her eyes to peer toward Erevis longingly.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy skips onto the shuttle.
* Chad`Winters glances to his left than looks to his right, eyeing Aya. He quickly moves to her.
<Chii> 6Lilith raises the bed and slides it aboard the ship, stepping up with Raquel.
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina studies Erevis. "Guess we should start waking her up."
* Marcus` steps out and lifts Erevis up over his shoulder. "Take it easy Chief. Get on the shuttle." He tells Darce, stepping back on.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *moves to board the shuttle* Does this mean I can shut off the traps at the base when we get back?
<Jennifer`> * Darce nods a bit out of it and takes a seat on the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Warren> .... Yes.
<Chii> <Freyja> I'm assuming the mission did not fair favorably.
<Chii> <Chii> Fuck you.
<Chii> <Freyja> Take that as a 'yes.'
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I hate bloody god damned good for nothing bastard Dark Ones and everything to do with them."
* Marcus` would move to sit Erevis down. "Angela, help out tiger boy or reptile or...yeah I'm out of animals." He motions to Darce.
<Chii> <Freyja> Now, now, onto the shuttle Darce." 6Steps up the ramp.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya watches Chad reach her finally.
<Jennifer`> * ANgela leans out from the copilots seat, "Oh fine."
<Jennifer`> * Darce is already on the shuttle.
<Marcus`> *Theron is glad Angela finally got off of his lap.
<Jennifer`> * Angela gets up and goes about treating wounds.
* Chad`Winters puts his arm around her, pulling her in tightly. 1"You unharmed?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods
<DeathStar> 6* Warren examines Jennifer's body for holes.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina mixes up some drugs to give Erevis to wake her up.
<Chii> 6Freyja sits in the center of the shuttle. 1"So, who is most injured?"
<Chad`Winters> Good, come on. 6He motions her to the shuttle and moves for it
<Jennifer`> * Jenn bares the examination, she seems to have a healing wound that might have been a gunshot.
* Marcus` sits back, watching Katrina and Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hands Dias the next location address
<DeathStar> <Darien> There you go.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes it, staring blankly at them.
<Chii> <Freyja> Preferably before we leave the forest... More effective here. If you're all fine, though, that's great...
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... I could give it to Chii.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns it upside down in Darien's hand then nods.
<Chii> 6Chii raises the bird to Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien groans.
* Chad`Winters steps up the ramp with Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya takes a seat, very, very quiet.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *boards the shuttle and straps herself in*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina injects Erevis with the shot.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Where's Billy and her drunk mom?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy waves from her seat.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I put mom in the storage compartment.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> BILLY! 6He gives her a thumbs up
<Chii> <Freyja> I believe Billy is the only unharmed..
<DeathStar> <Warren> Child molestation later, flying to base first.
<Jennifer`> Jenn> "Wha...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pops another pill.
<Chii> 6Freyja rises and moves to Katrina. 1"I assume you need her for something, so should I focus on her?"
* Xanatos has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Probably would be a good idea.
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Har har. Alright kids, we're lifting off. 6He lifts the shuttle up and begins to close the ramp as he pulls forward.
<Jennifer`> * ANgela takes a seat next to Darien, looking over the base schematics, she sets up a holographic so everyone else can look over them.
<Chii> 6Freyja eyes Katrina curiously as she moves a hand out for Erevis, syphoning light from herself to the red-hair. 1"And yourself. Are you harmed as well? Seems to be a trend amongst us."
* Cassandra` pinches the bridge of her nose...
<Xanatos> *Theron sits glances back, then closes the ramp.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm actually fine.
<Chii> <Megumi> We are... continuing a mission?
* Chad`Winters puts his hand on Aya's shoulder. 1"You did good princess." He pulls her in lightly, hugging her.
<Chii> 6Freyja smiles cheekily. 1"That's good." 6She turns to focus on Erevis with both hands, noting a healing queue for others.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is hugged. "I was scared."
* Marcus` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Chad`Winters> We all get scared at times. But it looks like you handled it well.
* Jennifer` smiles over at Aya. "You did good Aya."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stirs awake.
<Chii> <Megumi> She hid quickly and efficiently.
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus`
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sulks, like she's a coward.
<Marcus`> And the great sleeping Erevis awakens. *he notes from his seat*
<Chii> <Lilith> ...I cannot force a door of this calibur apart. At least, not without considerable amplification. Beyond that of an adolescent kitsune.
<Chii> <Freyja> Tch. Should I be insulted?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks confused now, with Freyja there, and Marcus calling her great.
<Chii> <Lilith> ...That was not my intent.
* Chad`Winters rubs Aya's back lightly. 1"It's alright Aya."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Marcus, as if giving him a look
* Marcus` pauses and glances up, whistling.
<Chii> 6Lilith eyes the hologram, studying the electrical systems.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Aya may be scared now, but she was really brave when it was happening.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC hangs against the shuttle wall, her eyes closed.
<Chii> 6Megumi moves over and peers at Erevis. 1"Are you feeling better, beloved?"
* Chad`Winters glances over at Myria than nods to her
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis speaks slowly, her throat sitll giving her trouble. "I do not know. I think I will---please hold." 6* She leans over and vomits
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, right, that's a side effect of the drug. 6* She shrugs helplessly.
<Jennifer`> * Jenn smiles and sits back, the wound still hurting a bit. "Sides, she was smarter then me, me getting all full of holes like that."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's eyes narrow.
* Chad`Winters glances at Jen, eyeing her.
<Chii> 6Freyja curls her lip in disdain. 1"..." 6She shakes her hands of the situation, turning to Jennifer. 1"One hole, I believe."
<Marcus`> You got her awake, that's all that matter. Eh? *he nods to Kat*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I apologize.
<Chii> <Chii> Heheh, good job guardian spirit.
* Jennifer` looks up a bit, clearly a little lacking in blood flow. "Yeah, one hole."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ugh, it reaks like puke now.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds his breath
<Chii> <Freyja> Oh? I believe my charge is in better shape than yours." 6She grins.
<Chii> 6Chii flips Freyja off now.
<Chii> <Lilith> What is the situation that entails entry of a facility with this magnitude of defense?
<Jennifer`> "Freyja did good..."
* Chad`Winters turns his gaze on the hologram, his eyes studying it.
* Jennifer` settles back and closes her eyes.
<Chii> 6Megumi holds her nose, but smiles softly at Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Warren> The plan is simple. We plan to have Erevis go supernova and blow a hole into the base; or, if possible, get us far enough in you can teleport the rest of the way
<Chii> <Lilith> I.. do not teleport.
<Cassandra`> Talon is turning Earth's defense satellites against planet-based targets.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I meant Freyja. The other animal one.
<Chii> <Freyja> He means myself. I can only do short distances, after all.
<Marcus`> It's really hard to tell the difference sometimes.
<Chii> 6Freyja smiles sweetly at Marcus.
<Chii> 6Lilith stares blankly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> There's a difference?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis listens to Warren. "You are...serious?"
<Chii> <Lilith> There are few similarities between inugami and kitsune.
<Marcus`> Oh now I get it. One smiles. Good, now that is taken care of.
<Jennifer`> * Angela finishes with Darce and moves onto the next wounded. "Okay, who's dying? I've only got a few Nanites left."
<Chad`Winters> Warren is always serious.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is true. ... I understand
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes, her face troubled.

<DeathStar> NRP: ;_;
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Angela
<Cassandra`> NRP: *hugs*
<DeathStar> NRP: *hugs*
<Marcus`> I think we should all hug.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren cocks his trigger.
<Chii> 6Chii looks ready to explode, then enters a passive expression, gazing off. 1"Kat, they're making fun of me again."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes. I noticed.
<Marcus`> Oh fine. Hugging is a bad idea.
* Angela has taken her seat back by Darien.
<DeathStar> T-Minus: 25 minutes
* Kulix has joined #TAW
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive at the military base. It appears to have no external defenses, not needing them
<Marcus`> *Theron glances at Dias, and then looks at the base. "It would seem our landing is secure."
<Angela> "Well this is... pleasent. And deeply forboding all at once."
<Chii> 6Freyja tugs on Chii's cheek. 1"Adorable."6 Another gun click sounds as Chii whips one of the pistols out and presses it to Freyja's temple and recedes the hammer. 1"...Just... heal her..." 6Freyja hums and focuses on Cheryl, eventually offering to move on to Chad, Warren, Angela...
<Cassandra`> Just a big gunker where no one cna reach it...
<Cassandra`> NRP: bunker
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl groans, opening her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It smells like vomit.
* Chad`Winters 's hand moves to his holster as Freyja opens her mouth towards him.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hey our other sleeping beauty.
<Chii> <Freyja> You all have the same trick.
<Chii> 6Freyja tsks at Chad.
<Angela> * Jennifer rests against Warren, rousing when the shuttle starts to land.
<Marcus`> I think i'm going to be smelling puke for weeks after this. *he notes with a sigh*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks ashamed now.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You should be used to that. You spent most of your time puking.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Land the shuttle so we can begin.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Roger roger. 6He he brings the shuttle down.
<Marcus`> I only puke when I drink alot, or eat something nasty...*he begins to rumble*
<Angela> * Darce grumbles, only a portion of himself of late.
<Chii> <Freyja> Now, Warren. You realize I can only move one of you at a time with a delay, correct? Am I to find a way to open the door with whomever I bring first, or is this going to be 'hope I don't get shot' thing?
<DeathStar> <Warren> You will risk your life and open the door.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias brings the shuttle down rough another trademark rough landing
<Chii> <Freyja> Ahah." 6She looks away, nervously laughing. 1"Figures.."
<Chii> <Freyja> That's two for me, and one for you, dear.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I am certain you will accomplish one of the two objectives I gave you
<Angela> * Jennifer yawns a bit and moves to stand up.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds her stomach, sitting up.
* Marcus` rubs his nose, stopping his rant with a long breath.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps off for fresh air.
<Chii> 6Freyja grumbles, losing her cheery demeanor. 1"Angela, give me the freakin' datapad."
<Chad`Winters> Cheryl. 6He tosses a small flask towards her.
* Angela smiles at Darien a little and pulls out one of the sabers she brought with her, handing it to him.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl catches it, eyeing it.
<Chii> 6Chii eyes Chad, then stands, peering at Cheryl and moving for air.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Aren't you all the one who tell me I'm the alcoholic?
<Angela> * Angela hands Freyja one of the datapads.
<Chad`Winters> I would never say such a thing about my dear sister.
<Chii> 6Megumi peers at the others, then to Erevis. 1"...I will guard you."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps out, immune to the smell either way. Darien hurries off. Erevis moves off slowly, wearing what accounts to basically a hospital gown.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts and steps off, pocketing the flask.
* Chad`Winters steps down the ramp he looks at Warren. 1"And Aya and Jen?"
<Chii> 6<Lilith> Mistress Billy, what are my current orders?
* Marcus` rubs his neck as he steps off, the rant would note that he is nervous.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Kill all our enemies.
* Angela moves after Darien, Jennifer steps out of the shuttle ands stretches a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes them. "They stay behind."
<Marcus`> *Theron nods to Dias and then stands, stepping off of the shuttle, getting himself ready.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Katrina, guard them
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina pauses, then nods.
* Cassandra` follows Warren out...
<Angela> * Darce stays seated, not in the best condition.
<Chii> 6Lilith peers from Billy to Warren to Katrina. 1"..."
<Chii> <Lilith> I am beseeched to kill all enemies.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gives Lilith the "look".
* Chad`Winters nods to Warren. He looks at Aya. 1"Alright Aya, Kat's gonna guard you and Jen so be good for her, ok?"
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Billy, do you have any other order?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then you can stay here.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Hm. Nope.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods.
<Chii> <Lilith> Very well. I will kill all enemies that approach Mistress Billy or this vessel.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves down the steps. SPoC steps down the steps down herself.
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> At least its a good order.
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I will remain and guard the two with Katrina.
<Chii> 6Lilith eyes Raquel on the bed.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis begins to unbandage her right hand as she approaches the doorway.
<Angela> * Jen quietly gors to hang with Katrina.
<Chii> 6Freyja leaves the shuttle lagging behind as she studies the base, searching for the source of power and its door drive mechanism
<Chii> 6Megumi gazes on Erevis' hand with disdain. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks along; high as a kite and twice as mean.
* Marcus` stands off to the side, arms crossed.
* Chad`Winters looks at Kat and SPoC. 1"Keep them alive."
* Marcus` clears his throat then smacks Dias on the back as he moves on.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll do my best.
* Angela pulls out her Samaritan, looking over her bullet selection, loading it.
* Chad`Winters turns and walks off, moving after Warren.
<Chii> 6Chii walks along with her arms crossed, sticking with Cheryl. 1"..Are we front line again?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puts her hand against the door, closing her eyes, steeling herself
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm always front line.
<Cassandra`> ...show time...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stumbles forward and dashes after Marcus
* Marcus` points at Dias. "Chill out. THis is serious time. Serious time!"
<Chii> <Lilith> ...Lady Katrina they have entrusted you. Do they not trust myself or Mistress Billy?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... They don't want needless death.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll backhand ya if you don't watch it fool.
<Chii> <Lilith> I see. This is a wise decision, but it does not follow Mistress Billy's regime.
<Marcus`> Only fool's actually say fool.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gathers her energy, forming energy into her hand, searing through it. She bites her lip, and begins to unleash it, bit by bit, into the metal.
<Chii> <Chii> Tch. Guess that's a yes, then. I'm not as fucked up, so at least don't run too far ahead, alright?
<Angela> * Jenn messes with her hair, sighing a bit, "Got blood in it... again..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well you are the expert
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmm. Sure.
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I am glad that you are safe Jennifer.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms.
<Chii> <Lilith> Stop tugging at it. Wait until you have warm water to dissolve it away without damage.
<Angela> * Jennifer smiles at SPoC, "Me too, thanks for caring SPoC."
<Chii> 6Lilith offers the beauty advice stoicly, then checks on Drake.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake appears brain dead as usual.
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I am told that it is what a person is supposed to do. 6She nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis then amps it up into an attack unlike any other she's done, reaching near Drasek and Wind levels.
<Angela> * Jenn nods to Lillith.
* Marcus` lets out a whistle. "Damn. Didn't know Red had it in her."
<Chii> 6Lilith reverts to Malamute form, conserving energy and increasing her senses to detect.
* Angela watches the show.
<Angela> "Oh she's had it in her..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops the attack. Her hand twitches, red and clearly burnt. Her skin looks flushed, as if she were feverish. She then collapses.
* Angela shudders a little.
<Chii> <Megumi> Be careful, beloved. Overdoing it when injured... well. I am an example.
* Chad`Winters steps over catching her as she collapses.
<Chii> 6Megumi sighs and rushes to her side, checking.
<Cassandra`> ...she's overextended herself...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps around her, eyeing the hole. "Lets see. It should be enough, Freyja. Crawl in there."
<Chii> <Chii> Typical of our lot.
<Angela> "Mmm..."
* Angela kneels down by Erevis and injects a dose of painkillers and nanites.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head. "That's ap ower I really don't want."
<Angela> "She burns her insides when she does it. HUrts like a motherfucker."
<Marcus`> I'd rather just turn into a smelly mutt, honestly.
<Chii> 6Freyja mumbles. 1"Harhar..." 6She shrinks, reverting her age so her size is more amiable to fit furtherst into the hole. She glances at the datapad. 1"...Okay..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Right. So she fried her liver.
<Angela> "Likely, I'm giving her doses of reconstruction nanites... should help."
* Chad`Winters grunts and slowly sets her down on the ground. He stands upright, unholstering his normal sidearm and switchs the clip from bullets to a energy.
<Chii> <Megumi> Mister Carmichael, do you require my aid?" 6Keeps her eyes on Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
<Angela> "She'll need rest and some real healing later."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien studies Chad, wondering why he did catch her.
<DeathStar> 6* The datapad reveals the door controls are just on the other side of the door. But who knows what horrors await inside
* Chad`Winters slams the clip in and cocks it back. He switches it to stun.
<Chii> <Megumi> I will stand by her here, then. It will allow me to both watch her and cover a retreat as a relief. Be careful amongst your objectives.
<DeathStar> 6* Who knows, but me.
* Marcus` checks his shotgun and pistols, making sure they are on stun.
<Marcus`> *Theron has his rifle ready, on stun.
<Chii> <Freyja> ...Someone give me a gun.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias checks his fists and sets them to kick ass.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, lets end this government regime?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hands her his second handgun.
* Angela sighs and tosses her a spare.
<Chii> <Freyja> ...Bigger?
<DeathStar> <Warren> It'll be enough.
<Angela> "You have two now."
<Marcus`> You're so lame. *he tells Dias with a shake of his head*
<Chii> 6The child stares skeptically. 1"Handguns and armor don't mix wel-- whatever."
<Cassandra`> All I can say is...I didn't vote for him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to be running a fever again, and probably did burn her insides up.
<Chad`Winters> Make sure she knows not to kill anyone. 6He seems to emphasize on the kill part.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I did. I smelled the evil. Rah rah.
* Angela works on treating her, ah the joys of the combat medic.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're not old enough to vote....Wait didn't I sell you a fake idea?
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> *drinks a delicious Omega Coke*
<DeathStar> <Billy> You have ideas that are fake?
<Chii> 6Younger Freyja holds both guns up, she's not very adept with them having preferred her own abilities. 1"Here goes... something."
* Marcus` snorts. "Good one, Bills."
<DeathStar> T-Minus: 15 mins
<Chii> 6She flickers.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Huh, I don't know. 6He pauses, pondering to himself now.
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja appears in a hallway, with 10 armed guards, who are aiming their weapons at her.
<DeathStar> 6* They open fire.
<Chii> <Freyja> Um. Want to buy some--" 6Reflickers, aiming to land behind them. "1Cookies?" 6Fires haphazardly.
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers are hit, stumbling. They turn around, firing again
* Chii shifts back to near where she was, glancing for the panel. She doesn't need to look to aim that horrendously anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* There's indeed a panel nearby.
<Chii> NRP: Freyja.
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers split into facing two ways, and both open fire.
<Chii> <Freyja> Would've helped..." 6Continues firing moving sideways in a half-croutch as a kid. 1"If he'd told me how to turn it off.." 6Keeps eyeing the panel.
<DeathStar> 6* The enemies learn to fire diagonally down
<Chii> 6Freyja hops up and stands on the button, returning to firing, leaning in the dip of the panel for cover. 1"Argh!"
<DeathStar> 6* The door begins to open . A soldier runs over and slaps the button
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches the door open, then begin to close.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Chad.
* Angela stares. "Goddamned..."
<Chii> 6Freyja kicks him in the face, then stomps on the button again and fires the stun at close range. Hey she can do that.
* Marcus` stares, then snickers.
<DeathStar> 6* The doors begin to open again. The soldier is KOed.
* Chad`Winters glances over at Warren. Then reaches down and pulls out a small orb, twisting it in his hand. He then rolls it under the opening door.
<DeathStar> 6* the soldiers fire at Freyja.
<Chii> 6Freyja cringes into the panel's recess. 1"Heeeeelp, okamisama!"
<DeathStar> 6* They look down as an orb rolls in
<Chii> <Chii> ...Ungh." 6She facepalms. Hard to tell if she's disgusted or embarassed.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl punches her fist into her hand. "Now that sounds like fun."
<Chad`Winters> 6It erupts, sending out a stunning wave.
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers go down
<Cassandra`> ...open it!
<Angela> "Time to storm the castle..."
<DeathStar> 6* The doors open fully.
<Marcus`> *Theron moves in, sweeping his rifle.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves in, stepping on soldiers.
* Chad`Winters moves in himself, uncare if his stun grenade took out Freyja.
* Angela moves in, a regular pair of guns at the ready.
* Cassandra` steps inside..and over the downed soldiers.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Dramatic eh Marcus? 6He moves in with him
<Chii> <Chii> ...So Warren's here. I'm guessing we still can't off people..
<DeathStar> <Warren> Tch. Fine
* Marcus` steps in, glancing about. "Hey, she got the job done." He steps over a soldier, accidentally stepping on his crotch.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs Soldier 5
<DeathStar> <Warren> EAt his soul.
<Chii> 6Freyja sits on the panel, snoozing before sliding off and collapsing on the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren drops him at Chii's feet, retrieving his gun
<Chii> <Chii> No thanks. It's just harder to knock people out effectively than it is to make sure they're not getting up.
<Angela> "Kay, let's get to control."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rushes ahead down the hallway. "Um, which way?"
<Marcus`> *Theron continues on, rifle ready.
* Chad`Winters raises his gun, sweeping it as he moves behind Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren and Darien move along. Darien remains unusually quiet.
<Chii> 6Chii eyes the soldier one more time, then Warren. 1"...Maybe we don't see things the same way, but neither of us really has any -interest- in killing needlessly." 6She spots Cheryl getting ahead. 1"..." 6Runs to catch up.
* Cassandra` moves with the team.
* Angela pulls out the schematic datapad and points the way.
* Marcus` rubs his neck, then pull up his shotgun again.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Let's go Marcus. 6He waves him on and moves off after the others.
* Marcus` is walking. "I'm moving, dumbass."
<Chii> 6Megumi eyes the KO'd soldiers and the team moving off, then the puffy-tailed girl face-down on the floor. 1"..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really? It's hard to tell sometimes.
<DeathStar> 6* And so, due to budget constraints, and what not, the team battles through legions of footsoldiers as they work their way through the enemy fortress, eventually arriving outside blocked off, sealed doors leading to the control room.
<DeathStar> T-Minus: 5 minutes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pants. "Whooo. That WAS fun."
<Cassandra`> ...someone have the magic word?
<Angela> "Yeah, now for the final gate."
<Chad`Winters> A regular family picnic. 6He eyes his clip.
* Angela looks for an access panel.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
* Marcus` smirks. "I like the part where Dias got the guy to punch his own buddy."
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be none on this side.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It is my specialtly. 6He shrugs.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I still like how you got the guy to look behind him.
<Angela> "Should we get Erevis? We've got 5 minutes left."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren considers.
<Angela> "No access panels to speak of..."
<Marcus`> Well you know me. *he waves a hand*
* Chad`Winters moves upto the sealed door and taps it lightly with his finger.
* Angela looks around for some other access or control panel.
<DeathStar> 6* It's thick. Thick and hard.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at the ceiling.
<Chii> 6Chii glances upward as well. Searching for ducts.
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts his head and glances around the room, looking for anything that may lead into that room.
<DeathStar> 6* There doesn't SEEM to be any, but air does have to get in there, somehow.
* Chad`Winters closes his eyes thinking.
<Marcus`> I bet they have an air generator or something retarded like that. Bad guys always have cool toys.
* Angela sighs a bit. "We need something... damnit..."
* Chii reaches back into her satchels and casually flings a few volleys of shurikens at various sections of the ceiling, listening to the sounds.
* Chad`Winters glances then points at a spot. 1"There."
<Chii> Checking anyway. Time's short.
<DeathStar> 6* Solid, but nearly nearly as solid as that door
<Cassandra`> Air recycling would be on the menu in a facility like this, yes.
* Angela pulls out her own datapad and pulls on her HMD, checking for any remote control.
<Chad`Winters> Cass, aim your rail gun right there. 6He points at the cieling.
* Marcus` rubs his shoulder, glancing up at the spot. "I don't get it. Why there?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien immediately backs up.
* Chii moves around collecting the discarded shurikens. Peering over.
* Angela backs up with Darien.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances up, the spot being above him. He looks at Cassandra and then backs up as well.
* Marcus` is already hanging back, "Cass needs her time to aim, of course." He watches her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is already behind MArcus.
* Cassandra` loads a shell and aims, bracing her footing...
<Cassandra`> ...all clear?
* Marcus` slowly glances over his shoulder. "....wait why are you behind me?"
<Chad`Winters> All clear. 6Dias slides backwards
* Cassandra` fires!
<DeathStar> <Warren> You'll see.
<DeathStar> 6* The rail gun hits the ceiling, causing a reflex explosive reaction that hits Marcus instead of Warren
<DeathStar> 6* A nice hole is left now, revealing the air recycling system.
* Marcus` grunts as he flies back into Warren then.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren uses Dias to prop Marcus up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias scowls, being used as a prop
<Cassandra`> There you go.
<DeathStar> T-Minus: 3 minutes.
<Marcus`> ...you're an asshole. You know that. *he pulls himself up, rubbing his face*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<Chad`Winters> That's our way in. 6He moves under the hole
* Chii studies the new hole, then leaps, stepping against the wall for a last boost and reaches up to grab, pulling herself up to peer around cautiously.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, we only have a few more minutes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl climbs up Chii.
<Chii> H-hey!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl then moves through the vent.
<Marcus`> Just making sure. *he dusts his clothes off, sighing at the charred stains.
* Chad`Winters squats and leaps up, climbing up Chii now.
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and would hop up after it was clear.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shrugs and joins the climbing ladder.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly brings himself up now.
* Angela follows after them.
* Chad`Winters moves after Cheryl
<Chii> ...Man I hate you guys.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pats Chii's ass
<Marcus`> Oh sweet, I can tickle her as I climb, right?
<DeathStar> 6* And climbs.
* Chii tenses, grinding her teeth.
* Cassandra` climbs up into the air recycling system
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias climbs up Chii now, he wiggles his ass as he climbs infront of her
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl climbs, then forms her energy whip. "Lets see if I can do what CAssie did, then."
<DeathStar> 6* She slams into the floor repeatedly.
<Marcus`> This is so cool. *he climbs up Chii, winking at her*
<Chad`Winters> Do it. 6He drops his clip and switches in a new one
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smashes through the ceiling, falling into the command center. She lands in the middle of 30 guards, who all turn to aim at her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hey, boys.
* Chad`Winters drops down behind Cheryl, pressing his back against hers.
<DeathStar> <President Talon> Kill them! KILL THEM ALL! 6* He runs from the computer terminal into a side room, closing the door.
* Chii eventually jerks herself up into the vent. 1"Move it, damn it. I have to watch Chery-- goddamnit."
<Marcus`> *Theron lands beside Cheryl and Chad and pauses. "Interesting."
<DeathStar> 6* The guards begin to open fire on those who have landed.
<DeathStar> 6* LEft, Right, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Up

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and the others expertly dodge the first wave of blasts.
<DeathStar> T-Minus: 2 minutes
<Cassandra`> ..well.. *fires stun shots down at the guards*
* Chad`Winters throws out two stun grenades.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You realize none of us can help if you stop there, Cassandra.
<Marcus`> *Theron unleashes full auto shots.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes into the guards, whipping them and throwing them into each other.
<Marcus`> Check this out. *he pushes Cass into the room*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Interesting.
* Angela remains stuck behind Darien.
<Cassandra`> Right... *leaps out*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Let me try. 6He pushes Marcus down
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leaps into the room.
<DeathStar> 6* And lands on Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* He flips off, firing into the guards with his stun shots.
* Marcus` acks and is landed on. "...motherfucker."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias flips down and kicks off of Marcus, dashing into a guard.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets out a whoop, clearly enjoying herself.
* Chii peers down through the vent escape. 1"Where'd jerkoff go?"
* Marcus` pulls himself up, wait no, he lays there grunting.
<Cassandra`> We are here to arrest President Talon! *fires off some stun blasts*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren calmly moves to the terminal.
* Angela lands next to Darien, she glances around at the consoles, looking for the right one. She heads after Warren.
* Marcus` finally hops up and clubs a soldier with his shotgun.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards recover enough to do a fire barrage. THE ULTIMATE ONE YET
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Left, Up

<Marcus`> NRP: LOL!!
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone byt Chad gets plastered.
* Chii throws a stun grenade down upon the remaining from the vent. 1"Fire in the hole."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: And Dias!
* Marcus` grunts on the ground, getting hit twice.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien urks and hits the groun d
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slams into a wall
* Angela slams into a console, groaning, the shield unti busted.
<Marcus`> *Theron attempts to use another guard as a block, but is hit in the shoulder, falling back some with a hiss.
<DeathStar> T-Minus: 1 minute
* Chad`Winters spins around, firing aimed shots and the guards, keeping Warren clear
<DeathStar> 6* Warren begins to type on the console
* Chii finally hops down after her stun grenade goes off.
* Angela groans and picks herself up, joining him at the console.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kicks off the wall, punching a guard in the face, knocking a tooth out
* Chad`Winters stumbles from the stun grenade.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is stunned by Chii and falls over.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs a guard's head and slams his knee into his face.
<Marcus`> *Theron recovers and goes to fight but is stunned by Chii and falls back.
<Cassandra`> ...son of a! *moves in, slamming a guard with the butt of her rifle*
<Angela> "Got it Warren?"
* Marcus` slowly opens and eye and pulls himself back up. "Jesus." He attacks a group of guards with a shotgun barrage of stun.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias then kicks off him and spin kicks into another one
<DeathStar> <Warren> It appeas to be a complicated red, blue, and green timed button sequence to turn off.
<Angela> "Great, a minigame."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts*
<Cassandra`> ...who the heck designed something like that?!
<Chii> <Chii> If it's reflexes, I got it. Otherwise let some obsessive-psychotic person do it."
<Chii> ...Like Angela.
<Chad`Winters> Rub some gel on it. 6He calls out then shifts around punching one in the gut.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren motions for Chii or Angela to do it
<DeathStar> <Warren> We got 45 seconds left.
<Angela> "It's reflexes."
* Marcus` kicks one in the shin, then spins and clocks him in the head.
<Chii> ...Pansy.
* Angela shoves Chii in front of the console.
<Angela> "Do it."
<Chii> Don't blame me if I fail you fucking wuss.
* Chii eyes it. 1"Whatever."
<Marcus`> *Theron takes up near Warren and the others, firing shots at any guards that may want to attack them.
<Angela> "I'm a hacker, not a cat."
<Angela> "Or fox."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides against Marcus back then rolls over it and grabs his Marcus hand and turns, swinging him towards a guard
<Chii> ...What the fuck's that have to do with anything?" 6Begins.
<Marcus`> Rouuund-a-bout! *he tenses his body to deal more damage*

<Chii> Cake.
<DeathStar> 6* The timer stops.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards are seemingly defeated.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks around, disappointment on her battle eager face.
* Chii steps away from the door, you know, in case it opens to a gun-toting maniac.
<Chad`Winters> Warren, Talon went through that door. 6He points as he moves towards it
<Cassandra`> ...Warren...orders?
* Angela heads for the door as well.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We stop the President.
* Cassandra` moves for the door...
* Chii hits open if that was necessary or something.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and a rail gun blast hits Cassandra in the gut, tearing a giant hole throug her stomach and out her back, sending her flying backwards
* Marcus` dusts his hands off and gives Dias a high five, then mvoes towards the door before he pauses. "Oh shit."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares.
* Chad`Winters jerks his gun up and kneels down. He fires a stunned shot into the door.
<Chii> Back off." 6Tosses another sphere through the door.
<DeathStar> 6* A giant mech steps through the door.
<Chii> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Smashing through the wall to do so
<Marcus`> *Theron tenses. "Cassie!" He moves over to check on her.
<Chii> Really back off.
<Cassandra`> GRRRRRRRRK!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *glacnes up*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just stares. 1"Ahhh fuck Marcus."
* Chii leaps away, striding backwards. 1"What the fuck's with all the gears lately?"
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue backing up slowly.
<Marcus`> Alright. You kick it in the leg, i'll shot it in the toe.
<DeathStar> 6* The Gear aims at Cassandra again
<Marcus`> *Theron lifts her up into his arms and backs away from the gear.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren slides along, grabbing Cassandra's legs and sliding them both away.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias suddenly dashes towards the gear, black forming across his face.
* Angela just keeps staring, pulling out her Samaritan.
<Chii> Warren, the fucking controls are probably in that room. Stop the goddamn satellites!
<DeathStar> 6* The Gear unleashes gatling gun on Dias
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias kicks off and rolls sideways.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl runs up, smashing her fist into the leg.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts, pulling out his handguns, spinning them.
* Angela fires her Samaritan at the gear's other leg.
<DeathStar> <President Talon> You will pay for this! You rebels!
* Marcus` pulls up his shotgun and switches the shotgun to a single powerful shot, he aims at one of the gat barrels and fires at it.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lands on his back and slides, he shoves his hand forward and fires a Dark Beam for gear's rail gun. 1%
<DeathStar> 6* The Gear backhands Cheryl into a wall, then takes a hit in the gatling gun. It spins, firing at Marcus
* Chii eyes Marcus and follows lead, whittling her shotgun over the shoulder and taking example.
<DeathStar> 6* The railgun is cracked.
* Angela fires her Samaritan again at the same leg with an explosive shell.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias flips off his back and lands on his feet.
<DeathStar> 6* A searing black scar appears on Dias' forehead.
* Marcus` gets an ! over his head and turns to run to the right.
<DeathStar> 6* The gatling gun is partially damaged now.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires on the gatling gun
* Chii retreats, continuing to fire shotgun blasts on it, heading for Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kicks off the wall, activating her whip and slams it into the gatling gun
* Chad`Winters drops the energy clip and switches a new one in. He then twists and hurls the energy clip towards the rail gun, jerking his gun up and firing at the clip when it get's close
<Marcus`> *Theron holds Cass, he takes this time to turn and set her down, working on sealing her stomach up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias howls in pain as he falls to his knee, grabbing his forehead.
<DeathStar> 6* The railgun, which was cracked, begins to take damage.
* Chad`Winters moves backwards, firing over charged shots towards the rail gun.
* Marcus` pulls up his shotgun and fires another shot for the gat gun.
<Chii> Oy! Cheryl, move away!
<DeathStar> 6* Chery lbackflips away.
* Chii reaches back into her satchel and pulls out one of her standard charges. 1"Marcus, pull!" 6Tosses it for the rail gun.
<DeathStar> 6* The gatling gun aims at Marcus again, but it explodes.
<Cassandra`> NRP: AFK
* Angela takes a third shot at the gear's leg.
<DeathStar> 6* The legs appear to be taking no damage.
* Marcus` tilts his head, then twists and fires at what she threw.
* Angela grumbles.
* Chii hits the deck, since she stays at mid range typically.
<DeathStar> 6* The explosion takes out the railgun.
<DeathStar> 6* The room shudders.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pants as he presses his head against the floor.
* Marcus` stumbles back. "Jeezus! That was bigger than I thought it would be."
<DeathStar> 6* The pain in Dias' forehead finally recedes
<Chii> Made 'em myself. Don't fuck around witht hese things.
<DeathStar> 6* The Gear steps through the smoke, opening it's palms, revealing glowing orbs. It unleashes dark blasts at chii
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias' breathing begins to return to normal, sweat beading off his face.
<Marcus`> Heads up!
* Chii hops to her feet and dashes away not wanting to be caught... yeah
* Angela reloads her gun, eyeing the hands.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes them.
* Chad`Winters slides his hand along his belt and he tosses two small orbs along the ground towards the feet.
* Marcus` pulls his shotgun and aims carefully, another condensed shot, they call them pumpkin balls in kentucky! :D
<DeathStar> 6* A dark blast flies at Marcus' face for his efforts.
* Chii sails through the air in a slightly-controlled, mostly not flip. 1"Son of a fucking biiitch!"
<DeathStar> 6* The orbs explosion does little to the legs.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Chii with her whip, spinning her around and around
* Marcus` acks and dives landing roughly on the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* And then drops her on the ground.
<Chad`Winters> Reinforced. 6His eyes dart over the gear studying it meticiously
<Chii> A-Ahhh! Agh... urk.
<DeathStar> 6* A dark blast flies at Chad's face.
* Chii sits there, wobbling, then puts her hands to her mouth. 1"Hurgh.."
* Chad`Winters jerks, rolling to the side to dodge
<DeathStar> <President Talon> I've decided it's my executive duty to kill you al.
<Marcus`> Dude. Can we shut him up. He's lame. *he pulls himself up*
<Angela> "Oh shut up already."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly rises.
<DeathStar> 6* A dark blast flies at Marcus and Angela.
* Angela leaps to one side.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias would feel stronger now. Strangely.
* Chad`Winters raises his gun and fires an overcharged shot towards one of the open palms now
* Marcus` rolls to the right, firing at the orb on the right hand.
* Chii shakes her head quickly, regaining equilibrium. 1"...Thanks Cheryl."
<DeathStar> 6* The orbs are damaged.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias clenches his fists then eyes the gear. He dashes in towards it, keeping low.
* Chii hops to her feet. She lost the shotgun while flying about. Studying the mech's current condition she waits to decide on a new motive.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl circles.
* Angela fires two consecutive shots at the hand Chad's attacking.
<Marcus`> Chii. *he tosses her his shotgun*
<DeathStar> 6* The orb cracks.
<DeathStar> 6* The Executive Gear fires a dark beam at Chad and Angela.
* Chii catches it, blinking. Then nods. 1"Dias is ... doing his thing. Bombs are out." 6Charges up the shotgun and fires for the cracked orb.
* Angela rolls to one side.
* Chad`Winters leaps backwards, his hands covering his face as the beam hits
* Marcus` pulls up his dual pistols and aims, firing two charged shots for the same orb on the right palm.
<DeathStar> 6* The orb shatters on the right hand.
* Angela pants a little, pulling out two more bullets, loading the gun.
<DeathStar> 6* The left hand aims now, firing one dark Beam at a time.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves in close then squats, and leaps upward, throwing a punch at the other orb.
<DeathStar> 6* The punch shatters the orb, but Dias gains 1% corruption.
<Angela> "Alright Dias!"
<Chii> Are we taking this one dead or alive?
* Marcus` blinks, wide eyed. "What the hell?"
<Cassandra`> NRP: Back
<DeathStar> 6* The Executive Gear styumbles back
<DeathStar> <Talon> How?!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias presses his foot against the hand and kicks off through the air
<DeathStar> <Talon> LET ME SHOW YOU HOW INVINCIBLE THIS WEAPON IS!
<DeathStar> 6* The Executive Gear opens it's stomach, revealing a giant core beam cannon
<DeathStar> 6 It begins to charge.
* Chii fires at it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh, look. Weak point.
<Chii> God damn it! Just... STAY DOWN!
<DeathStar> 6* Chii's shots do nothing
* Angela fires at the cannon with her two shots. "OH fucking die already!"
<Chad`Winters> Shit. 6He jerks his gun up and fires an overcharged shot towards the core.
<DeathStar> 6* All the shots seem to fail.
<DeathStar> 6 It is 20% charged.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias lands sliding. He looks over at Cheryl. 1"Fast ball special now."
<Angela> "Energy and ballistics aren't working."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods. She whips out, grabbing Dias, and begins to spin rapidly.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Tch. Is it really invincible?
* Marcus` fires at it too, pausing. "I'm not doing anything here.' He frowns.
* Chad`Winters glances over at Cheryl and Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* 50% charged
* Chii tosses Marcus his shotgun back and goes to retrieve her's.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl deactivates the whip, sending Dias flying at the core.
* Marcus` catches it and slides it onto his back, his arm starts to glow, just in case.
<DeathStar> 6* 70% charged.
<Angela> "I got nothin on that."
* Chii crosses her arms. 1"...I bet I come out of this emtpy again.."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> SPIRALING METEOR! He twists around and slams his fist into the core.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Is he nuts, punching that!?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares in fucking disbelief.
<Marcus`> ....yeah he's a moron.
<Chii> Duh. What else does Dias do?
<Angela> "Yes Darien."
<Marcus`> I thought he was going to use a beam or something.
<DeathStar> 6* The fist collides into core, unleashes a wave of incredible dark energy. 4% corruption is gained, but the core cracks, and explodes.
<Chii> If all else fails, throw Dias at it.
<DeathStar> 6* Strangely, Dias is unharmed.
* Marcus` just groans. "Oh I totally could have done that."
<DeathStar> 6* The Gear falls apart. Darien stares
<DeathStar> <Darien> What the hell is he...?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up, the dark receding from his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Only Dias' new scar remains
<Angela> "He's... special."
<DeathStar> 6* President Talon rises from the debris.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps back after working on repairing Cass. "Can you stand?"
* Angela looks at Darien. "I'll explain later."
* Chii runs forward once it dies down, leaping up the falling parts and goes to punch Talon
* Angela aims her gun at Talon.
<DeathStar> 6* Talon is punched into the wall.
* Chii pursues, reaching out to grab him by the collar. 1"I hate persistent ones."
<Cassandra`> ...my legs are on the other side of the room...
* Chad`Winters raise shis gun. 1"It's time you stepped down."
<Marcus`> Hold on. Nobody kill him yet. *he says quickly*
<Angela> "Yeah, no killing him, we still need him to face a trial."
<Marcus`> *Theron looks down and then looks over there. "I thought you seemed shorter." He moves to get them.
<Cassandra`> Kind of hard to keep myself together with my spine shot out. Bwahahahahahaaaa! And I'm freaking high on pain killers or in shock!
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren stares at Cassandra.
<Marcus`> <Theron> ...I do not like this Cassandra.
<DeathStar> 6* Talon snears. "You are all fools."
* Chii twists and drags with both hands to slam Talon onto the ground without objects scattered on it behind her, -then- check's for him for weapons not feeling like being shot again.
<DeathStar> 6* He is weaponless.
<Angela> "You're the fool for selling out to Dark Ones."
<Chii> So I can't eat him either?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holsters his weapons. He sighs in relief.
<DeathStar> <Darien> How disgusting.
<Marcus`> So wait. We did it?
* Chad`Winters looks over at Warren. 1"Alive or dead?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Alive.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl punches her fist into her hand. "Can we at least break some bones?"
* Chii gives Darien the bird again. 1"You have a soul, I don't want to hear that from you."
<Angela> "Well... break his feet and he can't run."
<Cassandra`> Don't worry...I'll be alright...not the first time this has happened.
* Chad`Winters holsters his gun and moves over to Talon. His hand sliding cross his belt. He grabs both of Talon's hand and locks them together with a zip tie
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll take him back to the Vice President. And then we can all learn what the government plans to do with us.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I imagine not. I am sorry that I cannot repair you at this moment. Perhaps when we return to our base.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien groans. "We'll be lucky if they only force us into early retirement."
<Chii> <Cheryl> Can I take a raincheck on the whole government thing?
<Cassandra`> ..get me to the blue girl...she put me together before.
<Angela> "Retirement sounds nice about now, actually."
<Marcus`> Hey. I'd like to retire. Maybe run a restaurant or something.
* Angela sighs and stretches. "We don't get that lucky."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias dusts himself off, a distant look on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sighs. "Lets go home, team."
<Marcus`> <Theron> Very well. I will have to carry you, I hope you do not mind. Not that you have much of a choice. *he lifts her up, a hint of a smile on his face*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns and walks out the door, ready to go back to Tokyo once more.
<Cassandra`> Home sounds pretty good...
* Angela walks over to Darien and grins. "We win this round."
<Chii> <Chii> Not to sound ungrateful or anything, but Freyja and I are already on the watchdog list. I don't think a court appearing is great for u-- damn it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slaps Chii on the back. "Cheer up."
* Chad`Winters grabs Talon by the colar and drags him out after Warren.
* Marcus` claps Dias on the back. "That was pretty nice."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe. If the Tsivrixsh don't take advantage of this, or the Dark Ones decide to eliminate our planet.
<Chii> 6Chii eyes Cheryl, then sighs softly. Her eyes well up in tears.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs. "I think things are just about to get worse."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Marcus, snapping out of it. 1"Yeah, it was awesome."
<Angela> "Like I said, this round."
<Marcus`> You alright? *he eyes him carefully*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Rounds don't make wars.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks for the exit.
<Angela> "Yeah..."
* Angela pouts and walks with him.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm not sure. 6He moves out, the black scar still on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hands Chii the flask.
<Angela> "Puttin a damper on the ol' feeling of victory hun."
<Chii> <Chii> Three perfect ones later I'm still soul-less!
<Marcus`> *Theron scrambles up all available Cass parts, then steps out with her.
* Chii takes the flask and gulps, then grins. 1"But I got to punch the president."
* Marcus` nods, still watching him carefully, his face serious for once.
<Cassandra`> ...thanks for the help...
* Marcus` walks on now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's an honor.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Anything for you, Cassie.
<DeathStar> -THE END-
* Chii hands the flask back to Cheryl. 1"Hey, we did it together."
