<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.7.14
<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stands upright in the messhall, holding a tray of food. Asleep.
* Myria walks a circle around Drake, looking at him from various angles.
* Jennifer` gently leans up while he sleeps, brandishing a marker.
<SPoC> 6Dias pounds into a punching bag, wearing a sleeveless shirt and jeans.
* SPoC reaches over and brings her hand down on Jennifers head.
* Marcus` stands off to the side, resting from apparently just finishing a training routine.
* Jennifer` urks and falls over, dropping her marker.
<Myria> Verrrry interesting.
* Jennifer` looks up, surprised at SPoC's sudden touch. "Ummm... hey."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...what were you doing with that marker?"
<SPoC> I believe she was about to draw on Drake. 6She steps back now.
<SPoC> 6Dias grabs the bag with his hand and begins driving his knees into it.
* Jennifer` stands up and looks innocent.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel eyes Jennifer.
* Myria pokes at Drake.
* Jennifer` looks back, the picture of innocence!
<Marcus`> *Theron sits in the mess hall, eating, apparently oblivious to the going-ons.
* Chii stares over at Dias, catching her own with a palm and slowing it to a halt. 1"...You're quite vicious there, kid."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the mess hall. She hasn't really spoken much over the past handful of days since her battle with Chii. She grabs an energy drink from the cafeteria lineup and moves over to sit down
<SPoC> 6Dias hops back and leaps forward at it, grabbing the top of it and driving his right knee into it.
* Jennifer` looks around and goes to grab breakfast.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake is poked, but doesn't respond.
* Chii takes out her earphones and leaves the training hall, rhythym broken up. She moves down the hall, wipping her face with a towel.
<SPoC> Perhaps the device is malfunctioning. 6She tilts her head slightly.
<Chii> 6Lilith stands before Jennifer, narrowing her eyes. 1"I believe Lady Raquel was correct."
<Myria> I don't know what to make of this.
<SPoC> 6Dias pushes off it and lands several feet away. He glances around than looks at Marcus. 1"You say something?"
* Jennifer` blinks and looks up at her, gulping, "I-It was just... look! A distraction!"
* Marcus` peeks out from under the towel on his head. "Uh. No."
* Jennifer` reaches for some food.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel baps Jennifer's hand
<SPoC> 6Dias points his finger around a confused look on his face. 1"I. Really? I think I'm hearing things now."
<Jennifer`> "Right right, I'll leave my antics to Dias and Marcus."
<Marcus`> *Theron glances up at Cheryl and then glances back to his table, he tilts his head and goes back to eating, not one to intrude.
<Chii> 6Lilith moves around Jennifer and studies Drake quietly.
<SPoC> So you admit to planning something on Drake? 6She look at Jen now
<Myria> Does this happen on a regular basis?
<Chii> 6Chii enters the galley, patting her face and then bringing the towel down, pausing. 1"Wow. A crowd."
<Jennifer`> "I... don't recall saying that, just that I'll keep my antics to Dias and Marcus."
* Jennifer` looks about and grabs an apple.
<Chii> 6Lilith leans around and kisses Drake on the cheek.
* SPoC tilts her head at Lilith now. 1"What are you doing?"
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks surprised at Lilith
<DeathStar> 6* Drake remains unresponsive.
* Marcus` just eyes Dias, then glances at Chii.
* Myria pokes at Drake again.
<Chii> <Lilith> It truly may be broken. He usually responds to something of this nature.
<SPoC> I believe we should call Doc Duce than. 6She nods pulling out her comm
* Marcus` doesn't look at Chii, he just eyes Dias. "You know. Hearing things is bad."
<DeathStar> 6* Drake opens his eyes suddenly and begins to move forward as if nothing were wrong. He then pauses, startled, as people are all around him
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, you're telling me. 6He hops backwards and kicks behind him into the bag.
<Chii> <Lilith> Sir Drake.
* SPoC blinks at SPoC than puts her comm away. 1"I see it is working again."
<SPoC> NRP: Drake
<Myria> eeee! *tumbles over from surprise*
<Marcus`> What did you hear anyway?
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pauses awkwardly, then jerks as Myria eees in his ear
<Chii> 6Lilith just nods. 1"I thought the kiss might stir you."
<SPoC> <Dias> If I knew, I wouldn't have asked you if you hear something.
<SPoC> NRP: Heard
<DeathStar> <Drake> Kiss? 6* He looks confused
* Jennifer` shakes her head and retreats with her apple towards Warren's office.
* Chii moves over and sits across from Cheryl after claiming papaya milk.
<SPoC> I did not know it was considered ok to kiss someone while they are in a deep state of meditation.
* Jennifer` knocks on Warren's door.
<Chii> <Lilith> Sir Drake was meditating?
<DeathStar> 6* Poor Drake. He looks even more confused
<DeathStar> 6* No response.
<Marcus`> Right. *he pulls the towel off of his head* You almost done?
* Jennifer` checks the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Locked.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes her energy drink
* Jennifer` shrugs and walks along down the hall, biting into her apple.
<SPoC> <Dias> You kidding? I could do this all day. 6He hops from side to side. 1"In fact, I bet I could hold my ground against Cheryl longer than Theron did."
<SPoC> <Dias> Or vice verse. 6He shrugs.
<Chii> <Lilith> Sir Drake, do you mind if I kiss you?
<Marcus`> Oh yeah? I doubt that.
<DeathStar> <Drake> H-Huh? What are you talking about? 6* He looks even more flabbergasted.
* SPoC studies the two, watching with curiosity.
<Chii> <Lilith> Would you dislike it?" 6She stares sternly at Drake.
<SPoC> <Dias> How often do I back down from a claim I make?
* Chii peers at Cheryl, leaning forward while nibbling on the end of a banana.
<DeathStar> <Drake> I, well, no, but I don't think, well, you see--- 6* Suddenly Warren's voice comes over the intercomm. <Warren> All personnel report to the conference room. 6* Drake sighs in relief
* Myria scurries off.
* SPoC turns and walks off to the conference room.
<Chii> <Lilith> Good, then the fact I have is not an issue.
<Chii> 6Lilith moves around Drake and out of the mess hall.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances up and holds his hand out for Marcus to toss him a towel. 1"Guess that's our cue."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances up, standing up and tossing her drink into the trashcan and moves out of the mess hall
<Marcus`> Well...*he goes to explain but pauses and glances up* Son of a...everytime.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake sets down his uneaten food and slumps his shoulders, turning to follow everyone else
* Marcus` tosses Dias a towel as he gets up.
* Chii tosses the peel away and continues to the conference room with her banana.
<SPoC> 6Dias catches and moves out with Marcus, wiping his face and arms off as he goes.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances up and tosses away his trash then moves for the conference room.
* Myria scurries into the conference room and hops into a seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits in the conference room, along with Dr. Duce.
* SPoC moves inside after Myria and sits down
* Marcus` whistles as they make their way there.
<Jennifer`> * Darce sits up in the conference room, sitting up at a seat, apparently having been taking a nap under the table.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel heads to the conference room, keeping an observant eye on Lilith the whole way
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the conference room and takes a seat.
<SPoC> <Dias> I bet this'll be about a trash can being knocked over or something.
* Jennifer` stands outside the conference room door since she seems to have nothing better to do.
* Chii swallows a piece of her snack and stares. 1"Hey, what's Truce doin' here?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake steps in and sits down as well
<Marcus`> Like usual.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps inside and takes a seat.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm getting bored with the lack of excitement. 6he moves in with Marcus
<Marcus`> Maybe this will be your lucky day. *he steps inside and moves to grab his seat*
<SPoC> <Dias> Ya think? 6He plops down next to Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Warren clicks a button to close the conference room door.
* Marcus` shrugs and glances to Warren now.
<Chii> 6Lilith grabs Raquel and holds her up near the table. Since she's short and all.
<Jennifer`> * Darce sits back and looks at Warren.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pouts... she's not THAT short.
<SPoC> 6Dias looks over at Lilith holding Raquel up like a 4 year old midget. He nudges Marcus and points
* Marcus` smirks.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren clicks a button and images of a village full of dead bodies laying about comes up on the monitor.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Every time we sit in here, it's like a horror movie."
<Chii> I remember this game. Any smiley faces? SPoC can make some more balloon snakes.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Chii with no humor.
<SPoC> I do not find this humerous Chii. 6She stares at the images
<Marcus`> Where is this?
* Chii stares back at Warren, not like he's ever found humor in her.
<DeathStar> <Warren> This was a village of about 100 people in an area on the continent of Africa. They were all wiped out by a host of diseases. It was the fourth village to be hit in a few week span.
<DeathStar> 6* He clicks the button, running through the images of the dead villagers. They looked like they suffered.
<SPoC> A host? 6She looks at him oddly.
<Chii> Hit? Isn't that normal for Africa?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Chii oddly.
<SPoC> <Dias> I doubt it. This is the...What year is it again?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl folds her hands together, glancing at the images quietly.
<Jennifer`> * Darce rubs his face and stares at Chii.
<Marcus`> What kind of disease could make them suffer like that?
<SPoC> You saida host. So there is more than one disease. Perhaps a biological attack by the Dark Ones or the Tsiv.
* Chii shifts and gazes toward Darce. She smiles and runs through some memories of Katrina.
<Jennifer`> * Darce blinks and goes red in the face, looking away.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren clicks the button again and an image of a purple haired woman with two different colored eyes can be seen in the background of one image.
<Chii> That bitch!
<SPoC> 6Dias tenses up
* Marcus` lets out a whistle.
<DeathStar> <Warren> This image was taken around the time of the outbreak.
<Marcus`> Which number was that one again?
<Jennifer`> * Darce looks at the image, "That's the one you were facing when I arrived."
<Myria> *whisper* Who is that?
<SPoC> <Dias> She's a Weapon. 6He crosses his arms.
<Marcus`> <Theron> According to the reports, she was the weapon that gave Chii the diseased that she is now forced to live with. *he explains to Myria*
* Chii twitches toward Theron, then gazes at the monitor.
<Chii> Africa, was it?
<Ariel> Raquel> *bites her lip...*
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's probably a safe bet that Virulent is the cause of the contagion outbreak.
<SPoC> <Dias> Than I'll go.
<SPoC> How contagious is it?
<Marcus`> Yeah, me too. Just as long as I can get one of those virus masks.
<DeathStar> <Duce> The contagion seems to die down shortly after the village is decimated. However, I will be bringing hazmat suits just to be safe.
<Marcus`> You're coming, Doc?
<SPoC> <Dias> I can't fight in a haz mat suit.
<Chii> I just want to know where she is.
<SPoC> It would be the correct decision. He may be able to help if one of us is infected.
<DeathStar> <Duce> Yes. If Virulent is causing a virus outbreak, we need to find a cure.
<SPoC> <Dias> How long does it take for the disease to kill it's victim?
<DeathStar> <Duce> Prelimenary reports that I've gotten from the people on site is that the victims died within 24 hours of infection
<Jennifer`> "Sounds like a bloody plague."
<Marcus`> They probably suffer the entire time too. Gee, that's nice.
<SPoC> <Dias> That's more than enough time for me to deal with her.
<Chii> Huh. Worse than ebola.
<Jennifer`> DARCE>
<DeathStar> <Warren> Cheryl, you will be leading this operation. Your objective is to neutralize Virulent by any means necessary.
<Chii> Heh heh heh...
<Ariel> Raquel> "...why is she doing this?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods grimly.
* Chii cracks her knuckles, but pauses, gazing at Raquel.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head, looking queazy
<SPoC> <Dias> She's a Weapon, it doesn't matter why. 6He rubs his forehead
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, rubbing his head, squinting in pain. He opens his pill bottle and pops a vicodin. "I don't know. That's something you'll have to determine while tracking her down."
<Chii> <Lilith> Weapons must be directed toward a target. It seems unlikely to have no motive or reason.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Perhaps she's experimenting to create the perfect virus to kill her enemies. Who knows. Who cares. We have to stop her.
<SPoC> <Dias> Agreed.
<Marcus`> Is it safe to assume this is a target we can shoot to kill?
<Chii> If Truce isn't present, I'll beat you.
* SPoC looks over at the doctor. 1"Would it be a correct assumption to believe that she would have a natural cure or antibody to fight the disease?"
<Marcus`> It's best to take her out before anyone else is infected.
<DeathStar> <Duce> Not necessarily.
<SPoC> Than how is it that she is not infected?
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Her system could very well just be strong against disease."
<Marcus`> <Theron> I believe the doctor should be able to work this information out as he gets more time to observe Virulent.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Agreed. Everyone, suit up and get ready to move out.
<SPoC> 6Dias stands up and moves out
<Chii> 6Lilith sets Raquel down.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stands up slowly. He glances toward Raquel.
<Jennifer`> * Darce stands and runs a hand through his hair, stepping out.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rises and moves out and heads for the armory.
* SPoC nods to Warren and moves off, following Cheryl.
* Marcus` stands up and walks out.
* Chii gets up to follow Cheryl. 1"Hee..."
<Marcus`> *Theron stands and exits as well.
* Jennifer` grabs Theron's arm gently as he passes.
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and glances at Jennifer.
* Myria follows after Theron.
<Jennifer`> "Mister Theron?"
<Marcus`> <Theron> Yes?
<DeathStar> <Drake> So, uh... 6* He rubs the back of his head. "You going to be okay, Raquel?"
<Jennifer`> "I was wondering, could I try out the Gear simulator while you're all out?"
<Ariel> 6* Raquel hesitates, and shrugs. Then starts off to get her stuff.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the armory and begins to pull off her uniform
<SPoC> 6Dias moves into his room and begins pulling rummaging through things
<Chii> Hey Cheryl, is there an extra one of those suits laying around?
* SPoC steps in and pulls her top and pants off. She moves over to her locker.
<Marcus`> <Theron> You must ask your father for the clearance and then speak to Mr. Pope for the use of the machine. *he turns and moves to hurry to get his things*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There's enough for all of us.
<Jennifer`> "Okay, thanks!"
<Myria> Do I come with you too? *points at herself*
<SPoC> 6Dias glances over at a doll then pulls a long headband out of his drawer. He steps out and moves to the armory
<Chii> Good, I guess.
* Jennifer` peeks into the room where her Dad is.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs her tactical suit and begins to slip it on.
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and glances over his shoulder. "Warren said everyone. It is my only assumption that he means everyone." He turns to move on.
* SPoC pulls out her tact suit and puts it on.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits in the conference room, eyeing the table.
* Chii moves across from Cheryl and yanks off her top and shorts, rummaging for another one of the tact suits.
* Jennifer` walks over to him. "Hey... Dad?"
<Chii> <Lilith> Is there something troubling of this, Sir Carmichael?
<Myria> Ok! *skips after Theron*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances up at them both asking questions at once.
* Marcus` steps in and shakes his head. "I'm telling you Chii-Chii, I think you taunt me."
* Jennifer` motions for Lilith to go first.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl zips her tactical suit up.
* Chii glances over her shoulder as she slides the suit on. 1"...Eh? Well, while you're standing there, zip it up."
* SPoC seals her suit off and moves over to the weapons locker and checks out a long range sniper rifle. She slings it over her back. She than moves over grabbing a combat knife.
<Jennifer`> * Darce gears up in his quarters, a collection of spikes going into his coat.
<Marcus`> Aw. I should have kept quiet. *he moves over and zips it up for her*
* Ariel is now known as Raquel
<SPoC> 6Dias steps into the armory. He glances around.
* Raquel goes to meet with Lilith, after getting her equipment. She seems hesitant.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps inside and moves over to aquire his rifle and katana, apparently he keep his tact suit on at all times under his normal clothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Turning his attention to Lilith, and he speaks. "Yes."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes and moves for the hanger.
<Chii> <Lilith> Then I will be careful." 6She turns to see Raquel and smiles softly, going to join her.
<SPoC> 6Dias nods at Cheryl as she steps by. He moves in eyeing his tact suit.
* Marcus` hums as he grabs his suit and changes into it, stripping first for everything save his underwears.
* Jennifer` looks at her dad. "Hey Dad can I... use the Gear simulator?"
* SPoC turns and moves out to the hangers.
* Myria pulls out her datapad, pressing some keys. Her clothes transmute into a hardsuit.
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
* Chii nods to Marcus and shrugs, putting her belts on, sliding the guns in, clicking two of the short beam-based blades to the back of her waist, strapping her main back satchel on, two on her thighs, one at the back of her shoulders, then sets straps around her upper arms, and her legs, filling them with kunai and a device each.
<Jennifer`> "Alright."
<SPoC> 6Dias just pulls his clothes off, leaving his boxers on oddly, and pulls his tact suit on, studying it as he puts it on
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the hanger and moves into the Warren Jet. Dr. Duce already has his stuff set up in it.
<Jennifer`> "Are you going on mission today?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps out, moving toward's the hanger.
* SPoC moves across the hanger and moves into the Warren Jet
* Marcus` grabs his shotgun, his blades and a single pistol and moves on out, not wanting to keep Cheryl waiting.
<SPoC> 6Dias leaves his unzipped and he grabs a bag of stuff and moves out to the hanger
* Chii leaves the shotgun and rifle behind, content with her personal armoury and jogs up into the jet. She bounces from foot to foot, eyeing the suit. 1"Okay, I can see why you use it."
<Jennifer`> "Well... wanna have lunch then?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll be busy today.
* Myria falls into steps behind Theron.
<Jennifer`> * Darce steps aboard the jet and takes a seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake hurries up the Jet ramp.
* Jennifer` nods a bit. "Oh... alright."
<Jennifer`> "When would be a good time for me to start training with machines?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes her. "When you're older."
<Marcus`> *Theron gets onto the jet, sitting down.
<Jennifer`> "Alright. I'll be in the firing range then."
* Marcus` comes running up, sitting down as he works on getting all of his stuff situated.
<SPoC> 6Dias moves up the ramp and past Chii. He moves to the pilot seat and begins powering it up. 1"Now please refrain from shooting into any space warping ripples and hitting my face.
<Chii> I'll think about it.
<SPoC> <Dias> I doubt it. 6He fires up the engines
* Jennifer` smiles a little and turns to head out.
<Chii> Me too.
* Myria straps herself into the Warren Jet.
<Jennifer`> * Darce closes his eyes and looks deep in thought after he notices Marcus.
* Marcus` just sits there, obviously not paying attention to Darce, I mean, who does?
<Raquel> 6* Raquel sits anxiously on the jet.
<Myria> We should get a cool name for this thing.
<Myria> Like the ....Warren Wing!
* Chii turns and gives Myria an odd look
<SPoC> It would be wise if you worked on your Earth Slang.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake peers at Myria
<SPoC> <Dias> We all on Cheryl? 6He glances back, an odd serious look on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits there silently.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
<Chii> 6Lilith hugs Raquel.
<SPoC> <Dias> Buckle up everyone. 6He raises the ramp and lifts off.
<Myria> ...just making conversation...
<Marcus`> *Theron closes his eyes, perhaps mentally preparing himself for the uncoming battle.
<SPoC> Oh. I thought you were being humerous. I apologize. 6She bows
<Marcus`> NRP: upcoming*
<SPoC> 6Dias hits the boosters and flies the Warren Jet out
<Raquel> 6* Raquel looks to Lilith uncertainly.
<Chii> 6Lilith leans down and whispers to Raquel. 1"A kiss can be a promise. For instance, the one to an enemy..."
* SPoC looks over at Lilith. 1"I did not now this." She pulls out a small notepad and writes something down
<Jennifer`> * Darce chuckles to himself a little as they fly.
* Raquel blinks, "...are you saying Drake is your enemy?"
<Chii> 6Lilith blinks a few times, then kisses Raquel's cheek.
* Marcus` starts to hum for whatever reason, pre-fight jitters?
* Raquel blinks, "...am I your enemy?"
<Chii> 6Lilith shakes her head. 1"My master cannot be an enemy."
* Raquel breaths a small sigh of relief. She really is on edge.
<Chii> <Lilith> A kiss to the neck followed by a bite is a promise of death.
<SPoC> I was told that was foreplay.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake peers at SPoC and Lilith
<Chii> <Lilith> Interesting." 6Leans back.
* Chii leans in toward Drake. 1"Those two are kind of creepy."
<SPoC> 6Dias remains quiet, which is odd since he'd probably be an expert on that subject
<DeathStar> 6* Drake peers at Chii, then rubs the back of his head slowly
* Myria leans abck and stares at space..
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Village of the Dead
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands there in her hazmat suit, eyeing the dead corpses.
<SPoC> 6Dias tug's on the hazmat suit he's wearing. 1"I don't like being in this thing."
<Jennifer`> * Darce stands there quietly, looking a little distant in his hazmat suit.
<DeathStar> 6* Duce sets up his stuff in a hut to do an autopsy.
<Myria> Don't take it off or you'll die after choking on your own blood and bile.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake wears his sword on the outside of his hazmat suit. He walks around quietly.
<Marcus`> Sounds like fun, Dias.
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts his head, glancing around in like Marcus and Drake, the larger weapons are placed on the outside of his suit.
<SPoC> <Dias> Bah, this things driving me nuts. 6He keeps moving, agitated
<Jennifer`> * Darce has attached his claw to the outside of his suit, a small "ammo pouch" of darts hanging off his waist.
<Chii> 6Lilith's remained behind at the ship, complaining about space for her ears and tail.
* Chii follows Cheryl around normally.
* SPoC glances around, surverying the grounds. 1"This is much different than the aftermath of a battlefield."
<DeathStar> <Drake> Whoever did this deserves .... 6* He just trails off.
<Chii> In a way, isn't this still a battlefield?
* Raquel has left her body on the ship, and walks around the village nervously in spirit form.
<SPoC> No it is not.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "It still feels like a battlefield."
<Myria> I see no soldiers, only victims.
* Chii turns her head toward Raquel, shivering. She chose not to wear a suit, but good grief, that kid took it to a whole 'nother level.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Not the point, I see only death."
<Chii> I see more than that.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances at Chii. 1"And why aren't you wearing your suit?"
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I bloody feel more then that... reverberations in a place of death... are always horrible."
<SPoC> This is far more silent than a battlefield.
<Chii> Truce said the contaminants don't last very long with nothing to prey on. I don't feel like wearing a balloon if I bump into my prey.
<SPoC> <Dias> Wasn't that the disease you were infected with tho?
<Chii> So how do I get infected twice, eh?
<SPoC> <Dias> Something tells me this disease, isn't the same.
* Marcus` stands there, then glances around. "So do we just secure the area until Duce gets finished?
* Chii points toward Raquel. 1"Dias... your little sister..."
<Chii> She's creeping me out.
<SPoC> <Dias> I don't have a sister...6He eyes her oddly.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's voice comes over the comm. "There's been a sighting of Virulent in a village in a jungle a few clicks from your position.
<Chii> Yeah, yeah.
* Chii rubs her hands eagerly. 1"Let's go, then!"
<Myria> Did you hera that, team?!
<DeathStar> <Warren on Comm> Proceed to investigate while the doctor does his autopsy and research.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances around. 1"Which direction?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes her datapad out as Warren updates it. "That way." 6* She points.
* Disconnected
* Attempting to rejoin channel #taw

* Set by DeathStar on Thu Feb 28 23:15:29
* ChanServ sets mode: +o DeathStar
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes her datapad out as Warren updates it. "That way." 6* She points.
<Jennifer`> * Darce looks around quietly before following after Cheryl.
* Raquel heads after Cheryl
<SPoC> 6Dias starts moving off that way. Rather fast too.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Should some remain to guard the doctor?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure, go ahead and do that
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves in the direction
* SPoC moves after Cheryl.
* Chii chases Dias.
<Marcus`> *Theron nods once and goes to do that.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs his head and follows.
* Marcus` moves after Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* After some time, and distance, Raquel vanishes back into her body. Seems there's a distance she can go
* Myria moves too.
* Raquel sighs, back on the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Raquel will need to hurry to catch back up!
<Chii> <Lilith> Welcome back, Lady Raquel.
<Raquel> "...it didn't work. I need to catch up..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along, finally pulling off her hazmat outfit, since they're out of range of the dead village.
<Chii> <Lilith> You are fastest alone. I will guard the shuttle and doctor.
* SPoC moves along side Cheryl. 1"Is it wise to let those two go so far ahead of us?"
* Raquel nods, and then ripples to try to catch up with the others
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm.
* Jennifer` looks at her, then back at the village.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We'll see.
<Jennifer`> * Darce
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* After traveling several miles, and entering a thick jungle like terrain, despite the fact the other village was in a more open area, the process has turned from a quick "get there" to a more of "just get there." Sadly, Raquel has it's easiest, since she ripples
<DeathStar> 6* Little slut.
<SPoC> 6Dias moves through the jungle, his hazmat helmet off and his long bandana hanging off his back. Sweat beats off his face. 1"It's fucking hot out here."
<SPoC> NRP: beads
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves through the area, having ditched the entire suit.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake wipes sweat off his head device, fearful it'll short out
* Marcus` moves after them, just his helmet off, but from the sweat on his face, it would seem like the rest of the suit is about to go.
<SPoC> <Dias> Screw this. 6He stops and starts togging the suit off, fighting to get it off
<Jennifer`> * Darce walks along, apparently having the time of his life in the suit.
<Chii> ...Sure would like suiton or hyoton about now.
<SPoC> This terrain will not give us a great advantage in finding Virulent.
<Chii> It's just as bad for her as it is for us.
<Chii> Moving as a group is the issue.
* Myria walks over and smacks Dias in the back of the ehad.
<SPoC> 6Dias pauses and looks at Myria. 1"What the hell was that for?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake trips over a root and falls face first onto the ground. He lays there
<Myria> Don't even think of taking off that suit
<SPoC> It is wiser to move in a group in a situation like this.
<SPoC> <Dias> To hell with it. 6He pulls it off finally and wraps it around his waste
* Marcus` pauses and moves to help Drake up.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake nods at Marcus. "Thanks."
* Chii peers back at Marcus and Drake. 1"Cheryl, how far?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the datapad. "Just a little further." 6* She repeats. The same thing she always says when she's asked
<Jennifer`> * Darce eyes Myria.
* SPoC climbs over a downed log.
* Marcus` nods once and continues on.
<SPoC> <Dias> Much better. 6He unzips the top of his tact suit and starts airing his chest off as he starts moving again.
<Myria> Its just...the surfce of the suit could have picked up...contaminants...
* Chii peers upward and leaps, beginning to scale a tree for a better look.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well it's a little late for that since I took my helmet off about a mile back there.
<DeathStar> 6* Just a little further ahead, in a small man made clearing, is a village. There appears to be no movement in it
<Chii> Hey, the village is just up another ridge. Tiny.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I ratehr enjoy the suit... it's nice and warm."
<Raquel> "...nice and virus free."
* Marcus` glances up and squints to make it out, then tilts his head. "Time to put the suits back on?"
<Myria> Suit back on...now.
* Chii slides down the trunk a bit, then leaps to the ground. 1"Well, I didn't see anything alive, if that's what you mean."
<Chii> Though I didn't see anything dead either.
<SPoC> <Dias> I doubt it. There's no movement ahead. 6He sighs, starts putting his suit back on.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves forward, not putting her suit back on, but she appears to be holding her breath. She steps into the village, peering about it.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Yes, absolutely no movement, very... dead."
* SPoC steps in beside Cheryl, glancing around. Her suit on.
* Marcus` puts his helmet back on and makes sure it is secure before following.
<SPoC> 6Dias puts his helmet on and moves into the village, glancing around
* Chii steps up alongside Cheryl, checking her safeties instead.
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be no one in the village. As if they all vanished
<SPoC> This quiet is unsettling.
<Myria> ...not even bodies. I don't like this.
<DeathStar> <Drake> At least we don't see dead people.
<Chii> Home sweet home.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I'd hate to see what disease makes people vanish."
<Raquel> "...maybe they fled?" *hopeful*
<SPoC> It is not the lack of bodies that concerns me. I do not hear the animals
* Marcus` glances around and frowns. "Well maybe this could be a good thing?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pokes her head into a few homes.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> They seem to have left their stuff behind
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm gonna check a home. 6He moves towards a home and looks inside
* Chii moves forward, sweeping her eyes across the place, even the roofs.
<DeathStar> 6* Just to the north of the village, the sound of movement in the brush
<Jennifer`> Darce> *narrows his eyes and pulls out some darts, eyeing the brush*
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm not seeing any signs of panic or struggling. 6He pops out of the home and looks towards the north
* Raquel cauriously moves towards the sound of movement.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake glances toward the noise.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns herself.
* Marcus` has his back turned at the time, but pulls his shotgun up, glancing over his shoulder, though he has to turn slightly, silly suit.
* Chii pauses in her scouting and lets everyone else train weapons and check instead, hanging back.
* SPoC pulls out her sniper rifle and aims it towards the area
<DeathStar> 6* Movement away. Though SPoC would see purple.
<SPoC> I believe I found found her. She is moving away.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Son of a bitch
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl breaks into a run for the north.
* SPoC lowers her rifle and moves after Cheryl
<SPoC> 6Dias dashes forward, running full speed.
<Jennifer`> *Darce runs with them.
* Chii rubs her face and chases the three.
* Marcus` moves after them, making a tch sound.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias' hazmat suit makes it difficult to run. Same goes for the others
* Chii wasn't wearing one like Cheryl~
<DeathStar> 6* Drake runs and falls again. Damn suit.
<SPoC> <Dias> Screw it. 6He unhooks his helmet and tosses it to the side. He then grabs it and starts ripping it off as he runs
* SPoC stops and grabs Drake, pulling him up
* Marcus` decides to play it safe this time, he'll let Dias, Chii and Cheryl handle it till he gets there.
* Myria TKs herself and the others into the air to zoom forward.
<DeathStar> 6* Yeah, that works real well in the jungle.
<SPoC> 6Dias jerks the rest of the suit off and tosses it as he sprints to catch up.
* Raquel does her best to keep up, not wanting to take off the suit.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl vanishes into the brush as she tries to catch Virulent
* Chii can only run quickly thanks to having overtrained reflexes and no bulky suit. That and not wanting to lose Cheryl.
<Jennifer`> * Darce keeps after her.
<SPoC> 6Dias leaps onto a down tree and kicks off and swings off a branch.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii suddenly runs to the edge of a steep downward slope. Dias swings right over the slope edge
* Chii uses her hands to come to an insane halt. 1"Holy shi-- Dias?"
* Chii peers over it. 1"Cheryl!?"
<SPoC> 6Dias shifts in the air, adjusting his landing to lessen the pain
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl appears to be moving down the slope as best she can. Virulent further ahead.
* Chii turns and whips one of the energy blades out, slicing off a curved piece of a tree trunk. She lays it down and sets the beam away, leaning forward and hopping atop it. 1"Whee.."
<SPoC> 6Dias hits hard and bounces, rolling down the hill
<SPoC> NRP: slope, whatever it is
* Marcus` goes to plow through but slows down when he hears Chii, he peeks over her shoulder and whistles, then hops to slide down after, not really thinking that this will fuck over his suit, unless it's one of those strong ones.
<DeathStar> 6* As Chii slides down, she enters...THE OPPOSITE GAME
* Chii mudboards down the hill.
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Left, Right, right, Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4

<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<Marcus`> rlrllrrllrrl
<Chii> rlrllrrllrrl
<DeathStar> 6* Chii crashes miseribly
<Jennifer`> * Darce watches Chii and shakes his head, then TKs himself down.
<SPoC> 6Dias pushes off as he rolls and lands in a fast moving sprint.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias must leap over a stump!
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
* Chii shakes her head and shifts around, beginning again
<DeathStar> -0-
<SPoC> 6Dias leaps
<DeathStar> 6* Dias runs into it
* SPoC begins moving down the hill
<DeathStar> 6* Dias semi-runs into it
<SPoC> 6Dias stumbles and starts rolling again
<DeathStar> 6* Drake eyes the hill
* Chii kicks off the ground and leans forward and crouches, trying to gain speed as she veers around obstacles and over some rocks.
<DeathStar> 6* After hilarious hijinks, the team beats the slope.
<Jennifer`> * Darce follows after Chii, using her as a crash test.
<DeathStar> 6* The sound of running water can be heard nearby, and it seems Virulent went in that direction
<Chii> I want to do that again, minus the sapling.
* Chii ditches her trunk mudboard and begins sprinting toward the water.
* Raquel ripples her way down after the others have their hijinks
* Marcus` shifts and then move in that direction as well.
<SPoC> 6Dias moves off in that direction.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent reaches the river and begins to move across it, when Cheryl tackles her into the river.
* SPoC reaches the bottom and starts moving after the others.
<Jennifer`> * Darce stops at the water, watching.
<SPoC> 6Dias runs along the riverbed, eyeing for her to surface
* Marcus` slides up close to the edge and has his shotgun up, aiming.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent emerges on the other side.
<DeathStar> 6* She's apparantly wearing khaki shorts and a white shirt top.
* Chii whips out a gun from her hip and fires once toward her legs.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent turns her head and dives to the side.
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes Virulent then quicky looks around, trying to find Cheryl still
* Chii whips the other gun out and fires, continuing to aim for low points.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl appears to be floating downstream.
* Marcus` aims and fires a condensed stun shot, deciding to play it safe, as she evades Chii for the second tim.
<Marcus`> NRP: time*
<Raquel> "Virulent! Stop!" *not close enough to do anything yet... damn suit*
<SPoC> 6Dias leaps into the water and starts swimming towards her.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent runs behind a tree.
<Jennifer`> * Darce lifts Cheryl out and to a bank.
<Marcus`> Spirit, start getting us across.
* Chii holsters one gun, keeping her right trained on the trunk Virulent's behind and uses her free left to entwine a kunai with her wire, hurtling it into a trunk on the other side of the river.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances up at Cheryl and starts swimming across
<Jennifer`> * Darce floats himself over. "Psion express, who wants a lift?"
* Marcus` just motions, seems he doesn't want to lose her.
* SPoC begins to aim her sniper rifle.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent runs ahead, keeping the tree behind her.
* Raquel opens a portal across
* Chii throws another behind her around a tree, catching it in the same hand and tying, yanking it solid tight. She leaps atop it and balances, then begins running across, ever eyes trained on the trunk, when she's across enough to see diagonally, she begins firing with both guns again.
<Marcus`> Good work. *he moves through the portal*
<Jennifer`> * Darce runs after Virulent.
<SPoC> 6Dias reaches the shore and climbs out, dashing after Virulent again, slowed down from the water now
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent is nailed and she goes down in a bloody mess.
* SPoC lowers her sniper rifle.
* Marcus` runs up, arching a brow whenever Virulent is pegged.
<Jennifer`> * Darce rushes to catch up to Viru, weapons ready.
* Chii reaches up on the far bank and yanks her wire free, setting it away before going to catch up with Marcus.
<SPoC> 6Dias begins moving through the vegetation.
* Raquel ripples herself over near Virulent, but stays a couple paces away. She's scared of her power.
* Myria peers at the group from a distance through some binoculars.
* Marcus` keeps aiming and clicks his comm, though a bit difficult with the helmet. 1"Warren, you read me?"
<DeathStar> 6* Static. Seems there's not a good signal in the jungle
<Marcus`> Damnit. And Cheryl is down too. *he makes a face*
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent lays in the vegetation, which is quickly turning red.
<SPoC> 6Dias comes to a stop about 15 feet away from Virulent. 1"We need to get her back to Duce."
* Raquel moves forward, applying pressure to the wound... not having a med kit.
<Jennifer`> * Darce watches the girl like a hawk. Seems ready to blow her to pieces just to be sure.
* Chii holsters both guns, narrowing her eyes. 1"Glad I was aiming for the legs. Jeez. Is she really a Weapon?"
<DeathStar> 6* It seems that Virulent got hit by a stray shot to the back.
* Chii gazes up toward Darce. 1"Don't you dare."
<DeathStar> 6* So much for "aiming for the legs".
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes Chii then looks back at Virulent
<Marcus`> You're right. *he fires to stun her incase she may attack in her not-dead state.*
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent's body twitches.
<Myria> ...she went down too easily...unless she's really a...
<Marcus`> Let's get her moved, someone patch that up so she'll make it back.
<DeathStar> 6* And stops breathing.
<Chii> Right.
<Myria> *comm* ...is that really here and not a fake?
* Chii reaches back into her main satchel. 1"But she's not breathing."
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes her stop breathing and he moves over to her checking for a pusle
<DeathStar> 6* None.
<Marcus`> What? *he arches a brow* How?
<SPoC> 6Dias tilts her head back and begins to give her cpr
<Chii> Probably the stun you just pulled. If she was weak, it could have put her in cardiac arrest.
<Marcus`> Right, i'll remember that next time you shoot someone with live ammo.
* Chii pulls out gauze and some clips, then reaches back with her other hand and pulls out a vial and some padding.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Good job."
<Chii> Shift the blame, if it makes you feel better.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake arrives. "Is it a good idea to put your lips on hers?"
<Marcus`> Oh it does. *he steps away, walking back over to check on Cheryl.
* Chii kneels and moves quickly on cleaning the main wound and wrapping it after cutting away the clothes necessary.
<Raquel> "...we... can't let her die..." *still in her suit*
<SPoC> <Dias> Probably not. 6He checks for a pulse again.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, both Dias and Chii begin to get weaker.
<DeathStar> 6* No pulse.
<Chii> Look, I know you all don't give a damn about me, let me do it. Seems I've already fallen for something again anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl appears to be unconscious and feverish
<SPoC> 6Dias begins to waver, his hand suddenly slamming down against the ground. 1"Yeah...It wasn't."
* Chii peers at her hand shaking. 1"..."
<Myria> *comm* Uh-oh...they don't look good down there.
<SPoC> <Dias> Raquel...portal me and Virulent back to Duce."
* Marcus` makes a tisk sound, standing over Cheryl, he glances back to everyone else now. "And Cheryl. She's not so good either.
<SPoC> <Dias> Cheryl too most likely...
<Marcus`> "
<Chii> Little bitch is potent.
* Raquel nods slowly, and opens a portal. "...I'll get us as close as I can..."
* Chii reaches into one of her side pouches and takes an agent for neutralizing poisons dealing with nerve damage.
<DeathStar> 6* It does nothing.
<Chii> Figures. It's like the other one.
<SPoC> 6Dias growls and he grabs Virulent and lifts her up. He moves through the portal
<Raquel> "...someone... get Cheryl."
* Chii pushes on her knee to stand. 1"Where's Cheryl?"
* Marcus` lifts her up and brings her over. "Here." He hands her off and moves over to flip Virulent over onto her back with his foot, making sure it's her.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his hazmat suit.
* Chii rummages around for another vial, taking a steroid mostly for countering atrophic poisons. If that's not it, at least it'd help counter the weakening affect temporarily.
<SPoC> 6Dias already took her through the portal
<Jennifer`> * Darce steps through the portal to follow.
* Chii winces slightly as she sets her tools away and goes to lift Cheryl and carry her through the portal.
* Marcus` glances to SPoC, since she has more field time than him. "Do you suggest the rest of us go back with them?"
* SPoC is on the other side of the river, having never traversed it
* Raquel closes the portal after Chii enters with Cheryl, and starts to chain ripple them back to the doctor as fast as she can.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Village of the Dead
<DeathStar> 6* Duce looks up as Raquel, Chii, Dias, and their guests arrive.
<Chii> Glad I eat healthy and drink heavily. Hrmph...
<SPoC> 6Dias stumbles slightly, still holding onto the dead Virulent. 1"She's not breathing."
* Raquel falls face first on the ground after arriving, exhausted.
<DeathStar> 6* Duce pauses. "Get her on the garney."
* Chii finds a happy place to put Cheryl down, then moves back and sits on the floor against a wall.
<SPoC> 6Dias growls and pushes forward, moving to the garney and setting her on it. He than falls onto his knee's.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias' forehead burns and suddenly he begins to feel better. His corruption rises
<SPoC> 6Dias grabs his forehead in pain. 1"Ahhh."
<DeathStar> 6* Duce checks Virulent out, examining her.
* Chii probably doesn't feel as well. She's treating the symptoms and not the disease.
<DeathStar> <Duce> What happened?
<SPoC> 6Dias pants lowering his hand. 1"Chii hit her with a stray shot..."
<DeathStar> 6* Eyeing Virulent, Duce removes his own hazmat suit helmet and pulls off the gloves.
<SPoC> <Dias> Chii, Cheryl and I are probably infected.
<Chii> Careful, Truce.
<DeathStar> 6* Duce touches her, closing his eyes.
<Chii> She's a hive.
* Chii drops her hand, the gun thudding against the ground. She grumbles, feeling on the weaker side again.
<SPoC> 6Dias pushes himself up, eyeing his hands and his legs than, a confused look on his face.
<Jennifer`> * Darce watches from his quiet position.
<DeathStar> 6* After a few seconds, Virulent's lungs suck in air.
* Chii eyes Duce, her gaze narrowing considerably despite weariness.
<SPoC> <Dias> Weird...6He bounces on the balls of his feet. 1"I-I feel fine now."
<DeathStar> 6* Duce opens his eyes and removes his hands. He steps over to Chii, touching her on the face, closing his eyes.
<Chii> I feel a little nostalgic, doc.
* Chii peers up at him sleepily. 1"Unconventional method you have there."
<DeathStar> 6* He says nothing, but suddenly Chii's body begins to feel better than it has in months
<Jennifer`> * Darce stares at Duce in wonder.
* Chii holds back a question in her mind. What is he?
<DeathStar> 6* Letting go, Duce kneels down by Raquel, touching her. Giving her energy back.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent suddenly sits up on the gurney.
* Raquel stares at Duce, from where she lays on the ground.
<Chii> Hold it, shrimp.
* Chii quickly has the gun-holding hand trained back on her.
<SPoC> 6Dias looks up at Duce now, he then jerks his attention at Virulent.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent turns to face them.
<DeathStar> 6* Duce drops his head, turning to face her. Virulent narrows her eyes
<Chii> Don't. Move.
<DeathStar> <Virulent> Caduceus.
<Jennifer`> * Darce drops his jaw. "...No way."
<SPoC> <Dias> ...Caduceus...6He scratches his head. 1"Wait, I know that name."
* Raquel stares more at Duce now, sitting up quickly.
* Chii studies Duce with a look, particularly his eyes.
<Raquel> "...you're..."
<Jennifer`> Darce> "The wand of the God Hermes. THe symbol of medicine."
<SPoC> <Dias> The 5th Weapon. 6He looks at him now
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent sneers. "So interesting to find you here, 'brother'."
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus says nothing, looking rather exhausted.
<Chii> Is that any way to greet an old sibling?
<SPoC> 6Dias points at Cheryl. 1"Fix her."
<Chii> Cheryl, Truce.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> I can't. I've exhausted my energy.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Try real medicine."
<SPoC> <Dias> Than take mine.
<Chii> Then take some of mine.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent steps off the gurney, wincing in pain.
* Raquel moves over to check on Virulent, "... are you okay?"
* Chii stares toward Dias.
<Jennifer`> * Darce watches Virulent.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus just eyes the two, then moves over to check Cheryl's condition the old fashion way.
<DeathStar> <Virulent> I'll live. 6* She says, her voice full of hate.
<SPoC> 6Dias stays focused on Caduceus, not seeing Chii's evil glare.
* Chii never gave an evil glare.
<Raquel> "...why did you do this?"
<DeathStar> <Virulent> ...
<Chii> Spill it, squirt. She's the only friend you have right now.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent turns to walk out.
<SPoC> 6Dias moves over to Cheryl and kneels down, looking at her.
<Chii> I said don't move." 6Twitches.
<DeathStar> <Virulent> Or what? You'll kill me again?
<Raquel> "...she won't."
<Chii> I never intended to kill you.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Virulent. What did you infect her with?
<SPoC> 6Dias looks over at Virulent
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent peers at the other weapon. "It is her own fault for hitting me hard enough to draw blood."
<Chii> That's what Cheryl does best.
* Chii climbs to her feet.
<SPoC> <Dias> Virulent, tell him.
<Raquel> "...please?"
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> If it's her self-defense strain, then I think I already know what it is.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus moves to his medical kit, grabbing some medicines and moves back, injecting a needle into Cheryl's throat. "And there's no known cure."
<Chii> And your magic touch?
<SPoC> 6Dias stares at Caduceus. 1"You're kidding."
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Gone for now.
<Chii> When will it be back?
<Jennifer`> Darce> "How long does she have?"
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> ... 6* Judging by his look, too long.
<SPoC> <Dias> Infect me with it than. 6He stares at Caduceus
* Raquel frowns.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Are you crazy?
<Chii> Could I buy time if I drew it out?
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Is there a way to revitalize you?"
<DeathStar> 6 Virulent appears to be eyeing Dias oddly as well.
<SPoC> <Dias> Obviously. Look, I felt fine and you didn't even help me.
* Chii peers toward Dias. 1"You're not fine."
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> I still don't see the relevenace.
<Marcus`> *Theron has been there whole time, his player is just a tard, he's watching this situation with concern, close to Cheryl.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "The kid is crazy, but he usually has something up his sleeve."
<Chii> 6Lilith moves in the doorway, her eyes trained on Virulent, but then going to check on Raquel.
<SPoC> <Dias> I don't understand it myself. Look, there's one of two ways this'll happen. Either you inject me with it, or I'll draw her blood myself.
* Raquel looks to Virulent, "...is there anything you can do?"
<Chii> How does your countering it help Cheryl>
* Chii stares at Dias funny now, too
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent crosses her arms. "No. And I'm not infecting Dias so he can kill himself."
<Jennifer`> Darce> "If he's countering it he's likely developing antibodies."
<Marcus`> <Theron> ...
<SPoC> 6Dias stares at chii confused then just shakes his head, he stands up and moves over to find Caduceus tools
<Chii> I doubt it.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus stares.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Doubt it all you want, it's a chance."
<Jennifer`> Darce> "He's willing to take chances for Cheryl."
<Marcus`> <Theron> If it does not work, we lose two warriors instead of one. I do not like either of the odds.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances around and grabs a needle. He then mvoes over towards Virulent
* Chii eyes Darce. 1"I'm willing to bet you wouldn't find any trace of what was ailing him anymore. If there's no trace, there's no antibodies."
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent steps away from Dias.
<Chii> If that's the case, even if he can cure himself, it doesn't do Cheryl any good.
<SPoC> <Dias> Don't make me use force. 6He narrows his eyes.
* Chii holsters her gun, since the time for that seems to have passed.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I'm willing to bet you have no idea what you're talkin about Chii."
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent stares at him. "You're going to kill yourself."
<Chii> And you do?
<Chii> I doubt you can even smell the stench from him and Marcus.
* Chii goes to kneel by Cheryl, brushing her hair away and studying her.
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah well I wouldn't be much of a super hero if I didn't put others before me 6He reaches out to grab her arm.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I see someone who's willing to try something, and someone who wants to sit in her ass and cast doubt. Now I don't always agree, but when Dias does crazy things, he usually comes out on top."
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent jerks her arm away. "I didn't see you saving Caesura."
* Raquel winces at that, "...we... tried..."
<Jennifer`> * Darce eyes Chii. "You think I need to smell anything to know what you're talking about?"
* Chii stands again and moves toward Darce quickly, her eyes widened.
<SPoC> 6Dias hesitates, his shoulder slumping slightly
<SPoC> <Dias> I tried...
<Raquel> "...she wouldn't let us help her..."
<Jennifer`> * Darce taps his forehead knowingly and grins.
<DeathStar> <Virulent> Because you all turned your backs on her long ago
* Chii goes to deck him anyway.
<SPoC> <Dias> I don't remember anything of my past.
<DeathStar> <Virulent> Just like your first conclusion is I killed the villagers without even bothering to ask first.
<SPoC> 6Dias just sighs.
<Jennifer`> * Darce puts his hand in her path, blocking with ease. "Careful there, you might hurt someone."
<Raquel> "...you didn't give us a lot of chance to ask... you just fled the scene..."
* Chii knees him in the crotch. 1"I can withold whatever I like from my mind, but I wasn't witholding the fact that I was planning on taking her illness to myself."
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent snorts. "Yeah. Like I'm going to stick around to be attacked."
<Marcus`> *Theron eyes the two bickering, then the weapons argueing and frowns, kneeling down beside Cheryl. "Doctor. Does she have time for this?"
<SPoC> <Dias> I don't care what you did or've done Virulent. All I know is my best friend is dieing.
<Jennifer`> * Darce blocks her attempt to knee. "Can you now?"
<Chii> If you want to stand there and smugly talk me down like I'm nothing, try doing it without ignoring what's convenient you son of a bitch.
<DeathStar> <Cadeceus> No.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Touchy little girl."
<DeathStar> <Virulent> You're just throwing your life away if you take my blood.
<SPoC> <Dias> Than so be it. 6He leaps foward to tackle Virulent to the ground
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent slams into the ground.
* Raquel steps back... worried, but willing to let Dias try.
<Marcus`> *Theron nods his head and stands up. "Darce, Chii. We do not have time for this." He says loud and in a scolding voice.
<SPoC> 6Dias shifts himself to lock her arm in place. He than jams the neelde into her arm to draw as much blood as possible
<Chii> Apparently I'm sitting on my ass either way. I might as well feel better about it.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent hisses. "Yeah. Take what you need just like everyone else."
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Whine whine whine."
<SPoC> 6Dias pulls the needle out. He than looks at Caduceus. 1"If I can fight this off. Tell me you can find whatever that's in me that did it.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Enough, Chii. *he moves to glance out at Dias and Virulent, his lips pulls back tight as he eyes the scene*
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> I can't guarentee it, Dias.
<Marcus`> *Theron glances over his shoulder. "Darce, act your age. Fool."
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent rolls onto her side, holding her arm closed with her hand
<SPoC> <Dias> Good enough. 6He climbs off Virulent then jams the needle into his shoulder and begins to inject the blood.
* Raquel cringes, looking away.
<Jennifer`> * Darce grins a little and pats Chii's head, stepping away from her. "I'm well over two hundred, by Terran standards I should be barking at you all to get off my lawn."
<SPoC> 6Dias drops the empty needle.
* Chii turns away from Darce, rubbing her neck. 1"All you ever do is stand around. Next time you're about to be tentacle raped, maybe I'll let you deal with it yourself."
<DeathStar> 6* Dias suddenly drops to the ground
* Chii goes off and pulls out more bandages, moving for Virulent.
<Jennifer`> * Darce looks over at her. "MY art doesn't require much flexing other then in my head little dove."
<Marcus`> *Theron eyes Dias, and assumes the doctor will take care of it, he steps up to Virulent and kneels down.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent gives Chii a look that tells her not to come near her.
<DeathStar> 6* Same goes for Theron
<Chii> Look, kid, I'm just going to keep you from bleeding like I did last time." 6Gestures at the back bandages.
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts his head. "It is alright Child. I do not wish you pain, I do not wish for anymore in pain."
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus lifts Dias onto a gurney and hooks up to vitals. He does the same with Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent eyes him. "Save it. Both of you. I'm out of here." 6* She stands.
<Chii> I'd prefer you don't, since I'd like to hear what you have to say about the village.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent walks for the exit instead
<Chii> If you didn't do it, then there's some other dumbass I need to shoot.
* Chii follows her.
<Raquel> "...Virulent... please... I... I'm sorry I didn't get there earlier..."
<Jennifer`> * Darce watches them, following after to watch the show.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent goes to say something when a dart hits her neck. She pauses, then falls. Darts fly out and hit Chii, Darce, Theron, Raquel, and Caduce. Puncturing hazmat suits if necessary
<Marcus`> *Theron jerks to defend but he's not fast enough in the suit, he hisses and goes down
<DeathStar> 6* A team of people in hazmat suits approach, peering down at them. It's the battle of the hazmat suits.
* Chii stares and glances to the left. 1"That's funny. Normally I can deal with that... sort. of.... thi.." 6She reaches for her satchel, to find her countermeasure, but her fingers slide uselessly across the top of it before she falls over.
<Jennifer`> * Darce blinks and looks at the dart in his arm, before falling over. "Bloody fuck..."
<DeathStar> 6* One points at the others. "Gather the weapons. Especially VI."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Near Village of the Dead
<DeathStar> 6* Drake walks. "I can't believe she ditched us."
<Marcus`> I can. I did try to kill her, you know.
* Myria shuffles along after Drake.
<Myria> I'm hungry now...
<SPoC> 6SPoC moves ahead of the team.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stumbles in his suit.
* Marcus` catches drake by the shoulder, having done this already before.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake thumbsu p.
<DeathStar> 6* As they approach the Village of the Dead, they would see their shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* But no sign of any of their team.
<SPoC> I do not see anyone. Perhaps they are all with Dr. Duce. 6She begins moving towards his base set-up
<Myria> ...huh? *pulls out her datapad and scans*
* Marcus` squints again, probably the sunlight making him do it. "Yeah, probably."
<DeathStar> 6* What is Myria scanning for?
* Myria scans for the team or signs thereof.
<DeathStar> 6* No signs of the team.
<DeathStar> 6* AT ALL.
* SPoC pauses, glancing at the ground.
<Myria> ..I cna't find anything...
<SPoC> There are new footsteps and I see sighs of bodies that are no longer here. 6She quickly pulls up her sniper rifle and begins moving to Dr. Duce's hut
<DeathStar> 6* Drake pauses awkwardly.
* Marcus` pauses and pulls up his shotgun. "Oh crap." He taps his comm. "Warren, can you read me now?"
* SPoC moves into the hut, sweeping her gun
<DeathStar> <Warren on Comm> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* The hut is empty of people, though the equipment is left behind
* SPoC quickly steps out. 1"There is no signs of anyone inside."
<Myria> ...ummm...what about the shuttle?
<DeathStar> 6* Drake moves over to the shuttle and steps onto the ramp, peering in it.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Nothing.
* Marcus` begins to tell Warren the situation, saving time.
* Myria moves into the shuttle and then sees if she can bring up the sensor logs.
<DeathStar> <Warren on Comm> ... I see. I will use the satelites of the area to see if I can find anything
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle, having been powered off, has no sensor logs of the incident.
<DeathStar> 6* However, Myria would notice a number counting down.
<Myria> ...nothing was recorded...
<DeathStar> 6* 10.
<DeathStar> 6* 8
<Marcus`> <Comm> Understood, we'll see if SPoC or Myria can uncover something else.
<Myria> ... ... ...RUN!
<DeathStar> 6* 6
<DeathStar> 6* 4
* Myria runs out of the shuttle for cover!
<DeathStar> 6* 2
<DeathStar> <Drake> Run?
* Marcus` glances up and runs away from the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks confused.
* SPoC eyes Myria then moves back into the hut
<Myria> BOMB!
* Marcus` grabs Drake and takes him with him.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle explodes!
