<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.7.19
<DeathStar> Location: HQ Conference Room
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits at the table, having brought everyone in for a meeting. Cheryl sits off to his side, dressed all proper.
<Jennifer`> * Darce yawns a little at his seat, looking a bit more lazy then usual.
<SPoC> 6Dias nudges Marcus. 1"I don't like this."
<Marcus`> *Theron sits there quietly, eyes locked on Warren.
* Marcus` glances at Dias.
<DeathStar> <Warren> While this doesn't fall into our mission parameters, EarthGov wants us to go to PAX and work on getting EarthGov back into the PAX program.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head.
<Myria> Ummm....?
<SPoC> 6Dias slumps his head. 1"Told you."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Dias.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Probably because you've got members here." *He rubs his head a bit*
* Marcus` arches a brow and glances up at Warren. "Who would represent Earth up there, IF they allowed us back in?"
<SPoC> 6Dias looks up and locks eyes Warren, he gulps, tugging at his collar
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm sure they'll pick some candidate. I don't know who.
* Ariel is quiet about the subject. Not sure what to think about it.
<DeathStar> <Warren> As this mission stands outside our normal operations, it will be voluntary.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Who will go?
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Well I'm in, about time I turned in my reports."
* Marcus` nods his head once. "I don't know how I can help, but it sure beats hanging about here."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sighs sadly.
* SPoC jots notes down as she listens
<Ariel> "...I'm not certain why they'd want a crew like this to talk to them. We're hardly diplomats."
<SPoC> <Dias> I can be diplomatic. 6He hrmps, crossing his arms
<DeathStar> <Warren> Some of us were part of the orginal PAX. 6* He notes drily.
<Myria> Ummmm...well...
<DeathStar> <Warren> In any event, stay here if you wish.
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts his head to observe Myria.
<Jennifer`> Darce> *looks at Myria curiously* "Somethin wrong Dove?"
<Myria> I need to go.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at his watch. Knowing him he's got some time table on mission applicants, just so he keep most of them here.
* Dias-Asleep has joined #taw
<Marcus`> <Theron> Very well. We shall go.
* Dias-Asleep is now known as Dias`
<Dias`> Might as well count me in.
<Dias`> <SPoC> I will also join.
* Ariel sighs, "I'll go."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Alright. The mission team will consist of myself, Cheryl, Ariel, Marcus, Dias, SPoC, Theron, Myria, and Darce.
* SPoC has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Dias` is now known as SPoC
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands up. "Report to the hanger."
* SPoC stands up and looks over at Warren.
* Myria hops up and skips toward the door.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.7.21
<DeathStar> Location: Shuttle Enroute
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits there in the shuttle, checking his watch. Cheryl lounges about in the back, taking up several chairs.
<Jennifer`> * Darce is napping.
<Marcus`> *Theron sits quietly beside Myria.
<SPoC> 6Dias sleeps upside down in a chair, snoring.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pops a pill, rubbing his head.
* Marcus` eyes Dias sleeping and glances up to the pilot's seat.
* Ariel sits quietly, seeming to be meditating. Or sleeping. Hard to say which.
<DeathStar> 6* The alarm goes off, alerting them to the fact they are nearing the hyperspace jump out point
<Myria> Do you like my new dress? I made it myself.
* SPoC opens her eyes, having been at the pilots seat.
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts his head to observe the dress and nods it once. "It is beautiful."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans forward.
* Jennifer` blinks a bit, waking from the alarm, it seems Warren brought her along for this trip.
* SPoC eyes the timer then drops them out of hyperspace when it hits 0
* Marcus` eagerly looks out at the station.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle exits hyperspace near the PAX station, which is surrounded by it's typical collection of ships. And ... a Tsivrixsh cruiser.
<Myria> I made it out of bioplastic. *nod nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits up, buttoning her military vest. She eyes out the viewport.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren frowns.
<Jennifer`> * Darce continues to slumber.
* Marcus` pauses and lets out a cough. "The Tsiv are still part of the PAX?"
<Marcus`> *Theron smiles slightly and nods his head once, he arches a brow and glances out at the cruiser when Marcus makes that comment.
* Jennifer` looks out the viewport. "Tsivrixsh?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dammit.
<SPoC> It would appear so.
<DeathStar> 6* The PAX contacts them, verifying their ID, and gives them a hanger to land in.
* Ariel slowly opens her eyes, "...it's hardly surprising they'd be making a move."
* SPoC adjust their heading and brings them to the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves to the co-pilot seat, eyeing the scanners which he directs onto the Tsivrixsh cruiser. So far, no weapon's are charging.
<Marcus`> So...you think they are here for the same reason as us?
* Jennifer` stretches a bit and fixes her shirt a little.
<SPoC> 6Dias shifts, rubbing his nose.
<Jennifer`> Darce> *grumble* "Ultimately both races joining would furhter the point of PAX. Peace talks could start."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Doubtful.
<DeathStar> 6* The hanger accepts them easily. After all, humans built this station. Once the shields are up, the are given the greenlight to exit the shuttle.
* SPoC lands the shuttle and lowers the ramp. 1"We have arrived."
<Marcus`> Haha, peace. I'm sure the Tsiv would love to talk about the 50% stake of all EarthGov controlled planets and colonies.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet and steps off the shuttle, peering about it.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I'd check that mode of thought if you want them to agree to let earth back on, it's counter productive."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Whatever.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks past Darce and out into the hanger.
* SPoC stands up and moves out of the shuttle and down the ramp.
* Jennifer` follows after Warren.
<Jennifer`> * Darce takes his time getting up and leaving.
* Marcus` kicks Dias to wake him and walks off the shuttle.
* Myria hops up and heads down the ramp.
<Marcus`> *Theron rises and follows Myria.
* Ariel steps off the shuttle, after Warren.
<SPoC> 6Dias jerks awkake, looking around frantically. He glances at the rest walking off and he quickly gets up and moves after them
<DeathStar> 6* A delegation arrives. "Welcome to PAX, General Carmichael and company." 6* They nod politely. They appear to be made up of various races. "We will show you all to your guest quarters."
* Jennifer` smiles shyly to the delegation, but keeps a bit behind Warren.
<Jennifer`> * Darce makes his way to the others, fixing his hair.
<Marcus`> *Theron pulls his arms behind his back, studying them.
* SPoC bows to the delegation.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren follows along. Cheryl stays in the back.
<DeathStar> <Delegation Member> Your other party member says they will be arriving in a few more hours.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods once.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances around, rubbing his face. 1"Others?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. I asked a favor from someone.
* Myria taps on the sleeve of her dress.
* Marcus` walks along, slightly in front of Cheryl, he moves his eyes to look around the halls, they probably haven't changed much, he tilts his head to look at Warren. "Oh yeah? Good idea."
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh...Cool. 6He smiles lighlty
* Jennifer` sticks to her father.
<DeathStar> 6* They are led to guest quarters - one for each of them, except Marcus adn Dias, who somehow got a room together.
<SPoC> <Dias> I call bed. 6He glares at Marcus
* Marcus` sighs, "....this sucks."
* Jennifer` is surprised to get her own room, she sets her bag down and looks about.
<SPoC> 6And to emphasize, he leaps into the bed quickly
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into his own room as well.
<Jennifer`> * Darce naps once in his room.
<Marcus`> Looks like I won't be sleeping much. *he glances around the room*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a whistling sound through her teeth, then walks into her room.
<Myria> I miss my old room...
<Marcus`> *Theron makes sure Myria is alright in her room, he tilts his head and stares at her. "Perhaps you should become the Erusian Ambassador again."
* Ariel looks over the room a moment, reminiscing.
<Myria> I dunno. *rocks on her heels*
* SPoC moves into her room quietly and sets her things out.
<Marcus`> <Theron> You would get your old room back. *he notes*
* Myria shrugs.
<Marcus`> <Theron> As I thought. You must have realized that I would not remain on this station if you so choose too. *He turns and moves to step out.*
<SPoC> <Dias> So you think they still sell booze on here?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the time. Still some time to go before their first meeting. He lays down on the bed.
* Marcus` shrugs. "When do you think we can go check it out?"
* Myria flops on her bed.
* Jennifer` lays back and sighs a bit, arms behind her head. "In space again... this is so cool!"
<SPoC> <Dias> I don't know.
* Ariel leaves her things in her room, and wanders towards the observation deck, to see if that has changed any.
<Marcus`> Warren didn't really tell us what to do. Maybe we should go punch people that look shady?
<SPoC> <Dias> Well you look shady to me.
<Marcus`> Oh ho ho, so d'you know who Warren called in a favor too?
* SPoC finishes arranging her room and she opens her door, stepping outside and into hte hallway.
<SPoC> <Dias> What...You don't know? 6He eyes him curiously
<Marcus`> Oh I know, I'm just wondering if you do.
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh I know who it is. 6He waves his hand passively.
<Marcus`> *Theron steps out and glances at SPoC, he bows his head.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Time Chart: Several Hours Later. Shortly Before the First Talks
<DeathStar> 6* Conversation can be heard in the hallway. Between two females. One is most definetly Cheryl. They appear to be outside Warren's door.
* Jennifer` blinks a bit, sitting up and rubbing her eyes awake. "Yeah yeah I'm getting up..."
* SPoC glances up from her desk, a notebook infront of her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl thumps on Ariel's door.
<Marcus`> *Theron peers up and glances at the time, he moves to see if Myria is awake.
* Ariel opens the door, wondering why Cheryl is thumping
* Marcus` falls back in a chair and crashes loudly on the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands there. Beside her is Katrina McCormick
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> How do you get in touch with security to open doors?
<Ariel> "...what's wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Warren's not answering the door.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We were suppose to talk before the meeting. 6* She adds.
* Jennifer` yawns a bit, getting changed and combing her hair.
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts his head at the two, but doesn't interrupt, he knocks on Myria's door.
<Myria> 6<12Myria6> "YES?!"
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and coughs. "Myria. May I enter?"
<SPoC> 6Dias moves down the hall and looks at the two, a beer in his hand. 1"Kat?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at Dias. "Hello."
* Marcus` jumps up, rubbing his eyes, he steps out into the hall.
* Jennifer` peeks out into the hallway.
<SPoC> <Dias> Hey good looking. 6He moves over and gives her a friendly hug.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's my ass you're touching.
* Jennifer` rubs her eyes a little. "Hey Miss McCormick."
* Ariel takes out her comm, and connects to the frequency used for the security teams.
<SPoC> <Dias> Really? I thought it was my own. Sorry. 6He steps back.
<Myria> 6<12Myria6> "Why?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes him.
* Marcus` opens one eye and holds up his hand to Dias.
<SPoC> <Dias> You know how it goes. Idle hands, the devils workshop or something like that.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl impatiently paces.
<SPoC> 6Dias glances over at Cheryl. 1"What's the problem?"
<Marcus`> <Theron> It is almost time. Are you unwell?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl mutters something
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We're trying to find out where Warren is at.
<SPoC> <Dias> You check his room?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not answering.
<Jennifer`> "...Is something wrong with Dad?"
<Marcus`> Maybe he found a nice Erusian girl to be with.
<SPoC> <Dias> Maybe he's asleep. 6He hands Kat his beer and moves over to Warren's door and knocks on it
<Myria> I'm naked!
* Jennifer` looks at his door and scratches her head a little.
<DeathStar> 6* No response.
<Ariel> *comm* "There is a potential issue at the guest quarters. Requesting a team to investigate."
<DeathStar> <Security on Comm> Which number?
<Marcus`> <Theron> I see. You should put your clothes on.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds Dias' beer.
<SPoC> <Dias> Brute strength it is. 6He plants his hands on the door and then doorframe and begins to try and slide it open, his face tightening
<Myria> Hold on!
<DeathStar> 6* The door defeats him quite easily.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Wow, dude. You've lost your touch."
* Ariel checks the room number, then reports that to security.
<DeathStar> <Security on Comm> Please stand by. We will be there as soon as possible.
<Marcus`> *Theron goes quite and turns his back to the door.
* Jennifer` rubs her arm, looking worried now.
<Ariel> *comm* "Acknowledged."
<SPoC> <Dias> Great, beaten by a door. 6He steps back and glances around for the door open device
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wait for security, Dias.
<SPoC> <Dias> Me. Wait?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes.
<SPoC> 6Dias grumbles and steps back, crossing his arms now.
<DeathStar> 6* The doors suddenly open and Warren steps out, looking a bit pale. He eyes them all. "...What?"
* Myria steps outside, clad in her new dress.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glares at him.
* Jennifer` sighs in relief.
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes Warren., making a face. 1"I...You look like shit."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Dias.
* Jennifer` looks at him a bit closer, "Are you ill Dad?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm fine.
* Marcus` lets out a whistle. "Whoa, he looks it."
<SPoC> <Dias> Good looking shit I might add. 6He hold shis hands up
<Ariel> "...you don't look fine."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fine. I don't look fine.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes his watch. "We're late. Lets go to the council room."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns and moves on, passing security
<SPoC> <Dias> You do realize you're about as white as the walls, right? 6He calls after him
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives the team a smile. "Our bad." 6* And follows after Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> The walls are gray.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl follows.
* SPoC steps out finally glancing around. She quickly moves up to Kat.
<Marcus`> Their bad. *he motions to Ariel, moving to follow Warren*
<SPoC> <Dias> My point exactly. 6He points at him and follows
* Jennifer` follows after as well, dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. Her fashion sense not exactly keen.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren disowns her.
<Marcus`> *Theron knocks again. "Myria, we will be late if you do not hurry."
<Myria> Umm...I'm right here.
<Ariel> "...it seems it looks like a false alarm. Appologies." *heads quickly after Warren*
<SPoC> Katrina. 6She looks over at her as she walks instride
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles. "Hello, Natalie."
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and glances at her. "Hm. Perhaps I am losing 'it'." He turns and moves to walk off.
* SPoC eyes her briefly, a distant look in her eyes. 1"It is good to see you again."
<DeathStar> <Warren> This first meeting will be mostly informal. We will state our desire to reapply membership.
* Myria follows after him.
* Jennifer` sticks to her father, looking around as they walk.
<DeathStar> 6* They step into the council chambers in the most unothoradox manner ever - with all of them trooping in.
* Marcus` stops once inside, glancing around.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at the various council members. An Erusian blue man sits in as the Erusian Ambassador. The Ridiarium stares with a stony face. And, most surprisingly, is the Tsivrixsh Ambassador
<Jennifer`> * Darce slips in as the team does, wearing his usual garb.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl does a double take.
<SPoC> 6Dias blinks, his jaw dropping.
* Marcus` almost chokes on his own spit, he starts to cough.
<Marcus`> *Theron widens his eyes, then narrows them just as quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav evaluates them with typical red eyes of disinterest.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at her curiously, then the others.
* Marcus` takes a big breath, straitening up, he holds his chest.
<Myria> *whisper* Do we go sit with our 'not-me' ambassador or...what?
<SPoC> 6An older man, with grey hair and a scar over his right eye steps in wearing a Cartel suit. He sits down in his seat.
<Marcus`> *Theron shakes his head. "I do not know."
<SPoC> 6Dias leans over to Cheryl and whispers. 1"Are you..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren evaluates the man.
<SPoC> 6It's Odin
<Jennifer`> * A middle aged woman with the stripes of an Atlean sits down in her seat, wearing Vertex garb.
<Marcus`> Scary group. *he mumbles*
<Jennifer`> * Darce actually looks away from this woman and grumbles.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> The Earth Delegation has a wide variety of races in it. 6* She notes outloud.
<SPoC> <Dias> Good, just making sure. 6He stands upright.
* Jennifer` looks wide eyed at all the aliens in the room. Hiding herself a little.
* Myria shuffles around the table over to the Erusian side.
<SPoC> <Odin> It appears they are capable of making peace.
<Marcus`> *Theron tilts his head and does not move, probably making a point of where he stands.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Earth, under it's new regime, desires friendship and help from many races. Our group reflects that.
<SPoC> <Odin> Help is a very loose term Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. But in the dark times to come, I think we will all need to help one another.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Hm. Allying races to battle your war with us?
<DeathStar> 6* The Erusian delegate remains silent, not speaking
<SPoC> 6Odin studies Warren now.
* Marcus` goes to say something snarky but pauses and keeps his mouth shut.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances toward Shretrav. "While our war with the Tsivrixsh Empire and Ridiariums is ... taxing, I think we can all agree that peace and stability is more important. Especially with the Dark Ones in our galaxy."
<Jennifer`> Vertex Delegate> *eyes Warren at that remark*
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium smashes his rock fist. "Earth lies."
<SPoC> 6Odin holds his hand out at the Ridarium.
<DeathStar> <Warren> The threat is very real. Their fleets are superior to all our races. They work in subtle deception and lies. That is why Earth wants to become part of this alliance again. In order to help ensure all of us can work together to stop the Dark Ones' influences.
<Jennifer`> Vertex Delegate> "I'm not so sure friend..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies each ambassador.
<SPoC> <Odin> Do you have proof of this?
<Marcus`> *Theron stares at the Ridarium and Shretrav.
<DeathStar> 6* The Erusian Ambassador, Terlon Lar, speaks up. "Is it not true that Earth was working with the Dark Ones recently?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes.
<Jennifer`> Vertex Delegate> "Our intelligence has reported as such."
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and shifts his eyes to look at the other Erusian.
<SPoC> <Odin> Terlon Lar brings up a valid point, Warren.
<Myria> I was involved directly in purging the dakr One presence.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. It's true. And there is your proof that they are in our galaxy.
<SPoC> <Odin> You say the Dark One's work through subtle deception and lies. How do we not know that this isn't part of such deceptions?
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I've seen em and helped kill em myself."
<Jennifer`> Darce> "They aren't lying."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Darce, then at Odin. "I have no doubt that deception is abound. Even in this place. However, Earth's desire to join the PAX isn't deceptive. After all. Why place ourselves in a group of races that could vote against us, if we were not genuine?"
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Keep your friends close, General Carmichael, but your enemies closer.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> How close do you intend to be?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Shretrav, then back at Odin.
<SPoC> <Odin> Misdirection is but another piece of deception, is it not?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Trust must be built somewhere. A hand of friendship could be just that.
<Jennifer`> * The Vertex Delegate, Arnya, eyes Warren carefully.
<SPoC> <Odin> Even if the arm is tainted with venom?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I let my actions stand as my testiment. I would not have come here if I didn't think that peace was important. Earth has been gone too long.
<SPoC> 6Odin stares deeply at Warren. 1"If we accept this olive branch. What of your war with the Tsivrisxh and the Ridariums?
<DeathStar> <Warren> It would be quite benefitial for Earth to end this war.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Shretrav.
<Jennifer`> Luci> "It would be rather irresonsible of us not to attempt to help them remove Dark Ones."
<SPoC> <Odin> And your goverment stands behind this 100%?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> For a race that worked openly with the Dark Ones, I do not find it wise to offer friendship to them so readily. They will turn whenever the wind shifts
<DeathStar> <Ridiarium> Agreed! 6* He smashes his fist
<SPoC> <Odin> I see. 6He looks over at Shretrav and Ridarium. Then back at Warren. 1"Many lives have been lost and many homes have been destroyed. Much of which cannot be returned."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<Jennifer`> Luci> "I should remind that all sides have lost in the war, not just one."
<SPoC> <Odin> No doubt, we will need to see a commitment behind these intentions
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods. "Of course."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps back, done with the informal meeting for now. Soon the council will vote on it.
<SPoC> 6Odin closes his eyes now. 1"Do the delegates of the PAX have anything else to bring up?"
* Marcus` glances around, confused. Do they leave?
<Jennifer`> Luci> "Nothing from Vertex."
<DeathStar> <Terlon Lar> Yes. I believe I agree with Ambassador Shretrav's assessments. I urge caution and wisdom when we vote. A race that would so readily side with the Dark Ones cannot be trusted.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shifts his gaze toward the ambassador.
<Jennifer`> * Luci nods and seems to consider, looking at Warren, then over Darce, who sits looking at a wall.
<Marcus`> A race? You might want to get your facts straight, but the entire race didn't go out to the polls and have a vote to chill out with the Dark Ones.
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon Lar stares at Marcus' outburst.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pops a pill.
<SPoC> <Odin> While unorthodox. It would be unfair to judge the whole from a few's actions. Would it not Terlon Lar? 6He opens his eyes now, looking at him
<DeathStar> <Terlon Lar> Even so, a handful of people run your government. And if a handful of people control Earth so readily, and easily, down a path of destruction, then that should be considered.
<SPoC> <Odin> You trust the Cartel do you not?
<DeathStar> <Terlon Lar> Of course.
<Jennifer`> Luci> "The Vertex is only run by a small council itself."
* Marcus` rubs his chin and steps back frowning at his lack of control.
<SPoC> <Odin> Than you would know of the scandals that had run through our goverment and yet here we are, striving for peace.
<DeathStar> <Terlon Lar> I will keep that in mind.
<SPoC> <Odin> That is all that I can ask. 6He nods to him
* Jennifer` has been rapt with attention following the conversation.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren bows to the council and steps out int othe hallway.
* Jennifer` blinks and follows after her father.
* Marcus` steps out at the first chance, making a face, seems he is angry.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks out finally, making a snorting sound. Katrina calmly steps out
* SPoC steps out after Kat.
* Myria shuffles out of the council.
<Jennifer`> * Darce seems to wait, not leaving.
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes the ambassadors, as if judging their strengths then then turns and moves out
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav rises and exits the room herself. The Ridiarium stomps out. Terlon Lar moves out as well
<Marcus`> *Theron stands there for a moment and, seeing Terlon run, steps out after Myria.
<Jennifer`> * Luci follows after a moment, where she and Darce seem to stare at each other.
<SPoC> 6Odin rises himself and he steps out himself
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at everyone. "I want to see the PAX archieves."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks off.
<Jennifer`> * Darce then steps out.
<SPoC> Is it wise to go alone Warren?
* Jennifer` follows after Warren still.
<DeathStar> 6* Apparantly Warren isn't alone. He has his own lapdog.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, that was certainly an interesting meeting.
<SPoC> What do you mean? 6She looks at Kat, curiously
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, just that.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles.
* Marcus` mumbles, rubbing his chin.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl unbuckles her vest some. "I'm going to go get wasted."
<SPoC> <Dias> So anyone else's shapeshifter radar going crazy right now?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You talking about the not-so-dead bitch?
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah. 6He nods.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, we never did see what happened to her after she got shot.
* Ariel frowns, "... prehaps, it would be worth checking into."
<Myria> ...Theron...what do you think?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think following her around might land us in hot water. Lets just terrorize her in public.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I do know that the Tsivrixsh are resilient. But it is hard to determine her real fate.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well, I still find it odd. 6He crosses his arms. 1"Care if I join ya Cheryl?"
<SPoC> I do not understand Kat. 6She looks confused now
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs and heads for the public drinking areas.
<SPoC> <Dias> Cool. 6He heads out after her, walking beside her.
<Jennifer`> * Darce grumbles and walks in the direction Cheryl takes, in need of booze.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs SPoC's shoulder, then looks at Ariel. "I didn't sense anything unsual about Shretrav's thoughts. She seemed to be taking a typical Tsivrixsh stance."
<Marcus`> <Theron> Then perhaps the gods have graced her.
<SPoC> I do find it odd...6She looks at Kat rubbing her shoulder, another confused look on her face. 1"That a Erusian would so easily side with a Tsivrisxh
* Ariel nods slowly, considering it. Well... people had come back from worse.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Now he was an enigma to me.
<SPoC> Perhaps the Erusians Myria and Theron can talk to him and convince him that are intentions are true.
<Myria> ...Theron...I wish to speak to our ambassador.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into Blinky's Tavern, and sits down, ordering a rocket fuel.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Very well.
* SPoC sits down beside Cheryl and motions for another beer.
<SPoC> NRP: Dias
<Jennifer`> * Darce takes a seat and orders two rocket fuels.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So. Should we spy on Shretrav? 6* She asks Ariel.
<SPoC> 6Dias than coughs, eyeing Cheryl ordering a rocket fuel
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl props her head up with her hand boredly.
* Marcus` groans. "You think I ruined our chances by speaking out of turn?" He asks Kat, SPoC, and Ariel.
* Ariel pauses, "I'm not sure if that'd be best. It'd probally be hard to find anything, and we if we were noticed, then that'd hurt our efforts."
* SPoC looks over at Marcus. 1"I do not believe they would hold one idiot's outburst against the whole.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I agree.
* Myria turns and moves for the Erusian section.
<Marcus`> *Theron follows after her.
* SPoC than motions to Kat. 1"Katrina also agrees."
<Ariel> "...I'm still curious if the files mention her remarkible recovery though."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at SPoC.
* Kit is now known as Kit[Away]
* SPoC just smiles.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't think they would. IF she was taken back to her planet, it would be all hush hush
<Jennifer`> * Darce downs both rocket fuels, shaking his head a little. "That's the stuff."
* SPoC pulls back his beer, drinking it
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks the beer, coughing on it harshly.
* Marcus` frowns, placing his hands half-way in his pockets.
<Ariel> "It's too bad... it'd be easier to accept her if they did."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, no one said your job was easy.
<Jennifer`> * Darce looks at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks some more of it
<DeathStar> 6* Tsivrixshs enter the bar. They move over to the table. "This is our table."
<SPoC> 6Dias sets his beer down and rubs his face. He then looks up at the Tsiv then looks around. 1"Since when?"
<Jennifer`> * Darce looks up at them and doesn't move.
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixshs> Since your people ran away.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "My people didn't, go find another table."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes her rocket fuel, plastered already. She stands up, poking the Tsivrixsh. "Beat it, ugly, before I beat you."
<SPoC> <Dias> Hey I..Ah crap. 6He sighs, standing up now himself.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Ariel seeming to take her comment very serious and with deep contemplation
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Marcus, wondering what he plans to do.
* Myria stops at Terlon's door and buzzes.
<Myria> I wonder if he is in...
* Marcus` half-smiles. "Wanna go for a walk?"
<Jennifer`> * Darce leans back a little, crossing his arms.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh eyes Cheryl. He looks at his companion. "She has spirit, even if she is as ugly as a taklar beast."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think we should do work.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Hmm. I do not know.
<SPoC> <Dias> Woh woh woh there. 6He holds his hand up. 1"Let's not go around calling people names now.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens. Terlon peers at Myria, nodding his head politely. "Lady Myria. Please come in."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares, and throws a punch into his stomach. The Tsivrixsh steps back and backhands Cheryl over the table
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> Fine. I'll just let my hands do the talking
<Marcus`> *Theron steps into view of Terlon.
<Marcus`> Well, i've already caused a bit of trouble. But you have something in mind, I'll do it.
<Jennifer`> * Darce TKly bends that arm backwards.
<SPoC> <Dias> Now you did it. 6He steps forward and throws a punch out into the Tsiv's gut in return
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh bends his arm forward, hardly phased.
<DeathStar> 6* However, he is punched and doubles over. His friend grabs a chair and swings it down at Dias head.
* Myria steps inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances up as security agents hurry by them for the bar
* Ariel ponders, "I wonder if it'd be more harmful to have the council influenced, or to be found acting suspicious..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Why do I have a bad feeling.
<SPoC> 6Dias is nailed across the head with a chair, he falls to one knee and rises.
* Jennifer` grabs the chair midflight and tries yanking it out of the T's hands telekentically.
<Jennifer`> * Darce
* Marcus` arches a brow. "...didn't Cheryl and Dias just go to the bar?"
<Ariel> "...it's a bar. It's always trouble."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs. "Yes they did."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up, wiping blood from her mouth with her hand. She kicks out at a Tsivrixsh' knee.
<SPoC> Murphys Law would state that trouble is abound.
* Marcus` widens his eyes. "I'm missing a fight..." He sighs, "I mean, fighting it bad right now, but..."
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh loses his weapon, so he grabs the table and hits Cheryl with it
<Jennifer`> * Darce slams the chair into the Tsiv as he goes for the table.
<SPoC> 6Dias pushes off, letting the table slam into his back
<DeathStar> 6* He just avoids it.
<DeathStar> 6* The first Tsivrixsh recover and punches at DArce's face.
<Marcus`> *Theron bows his head, " You will forgive me, but I watch over Lady Myria." He steps in after her.
<SPoC> 6Dias groans painfully as he stands up again.
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon eyes him, then nods. "Of course. Her bodyguard is welcome."
<Myria> Bodyguard. *nods*
<Jennifer`> *Darce kicks back his chair and rolls away from it, flinging a dart at the Tsiv's leg.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh blocks with the table. He then takes the dart and stabs Dias in the neck with it
<Marcus`> *Theron says nothing more, stepping to the side.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Ariel. She apparantly plans not to interefere. "So, what's the plan?"
<SPoC> 6Dias howls out madly, blood running out the wound in his neck.
* SPoC studies the two herself.
<Marcus`> ...*he hangs his head*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps on the Tsivrixsh' back, tugging at his neck. "I gotsh you."
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Bloody hell."
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh stares, then backs up into a wall.
<Ariel> "...you any good with computers?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No.
<SPoC> <Dias> Now that. Was uncalled for. 6He grabs the dart and yanks it out, dropping it ont he ground. He begins moving towards the Tsiv now.
<Myria> Now...shall we speak?
<DeathStar> <Terlon> Of course. 6* He sits.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh rams his back into a wall, then throws Cheryl at Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at SPoC to see if she is.
<SPoC> 6Dias shifts his weight and grabs her, stepping back to absorb the momentum
* Marcus` just chuckles, clearly he isn't.
<SPoC> I have used computers before, yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Ariel.
* Myria takes a seat as well.
<Myria> And is there any news I should be aware of?
<SPoC> 6Dias then sets her down and dashes in at the Tsiv.
<DeathStar> <Terlon> Such as?
<Ariel> "I ment more the 'able to retrieve sensitive information undetected'."
<SPoC> Hmmm. It is a good possibility.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm. Warren might already be doing that. He did mention going through the archieves.
<Jennifer`> * Darce growls and moves in with Dias, doing something uncharacteristic, getting physical.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh waits on them.
<SPoC> 6Dias hops up onto a table and kicks off it, spin kicking at the Tsiv's mid-section
<Marcus`> Maybe we should do the spying of Shretrav bit.
* Jennifer` keeps the other one busy with a kick of his own, his claw out.
<Marcus`> NRP: on*
<Myria> News from the Ascendancy or news of Pax.
<Jennifer`> * Darce
* Jennifer` is now known as Darce
<DeathStar> <Terlon> I do not believe there is any news you would not have been informed of already.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh grabs Dias leg and throws him into the floor
<DeathStar> 6* The other one backs away.
<SPoC> 6Dias slams into the floor and pushes off, throwing his other leg out at the Tsiv
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh grabs it as well.
<Myria> Well, we don't know each other all that well, do we?
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh this won't end good.
<Darce> * Darce presses his attack... striking out at Dias' Tsiv from the side.
<DeathStar> <Terlon> Not personally. I know of your work.
<SPoC> 6Dias narrows his eyes and pushes against the floor to move the tsiv out of hte claw attack
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Darce, Dias, adn both Tsivrixshs are tazered by the security force. Ah, brig time.
<Darce> * Darce slumps over.
* Myria nods.
* Kit[Away] is now known as Kit
<DeathStar> 6* Warren returns to the others. "Follow me."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren says to Ariel and Katrina, moving for his room.
* Ariel glances to Warren, then nods.
* Marcus` glances up. "What about me?"
* SPoC watches the three, but does not follow
<Darce> *Jenn smiles at Ariel and Kat, having stuch with Warren all this time.
* Darce is now known as Jennifer`
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, then follows.
<SPoC> 6Dias growls as he's shocked.
<Myria> What we uncovered is disturbing.
* Marcus` sighs and looks at SPoC. "Wanna go make-out?"
<DeathStar> <Terlon> Indeed.
<SPoC> I would rather perform CPR on a Vapaad. 6She stare at Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into his own room, which has devices to prevent spying.
* Marcus` drops his mouth open.
<SPoC> I am kidding. 6She smiles
* Marcus` clears his throat. "Oh...ha...ha." He rubs his shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a seat on the bed.
<Myria> And it begs the question...where else have they inflitrated?
<DeathStar> <Terlon> It is impossible to say.
<DeathStar> <Warren> According to the archieves, the Tsivrixsh Empire rejoined the PAX about two weeks ago.
* Jennifer` hops up and takes a seat on Warren's bed.
* SPoC stares at Marcus
<Marcus`> Well let's go then?
<Myria> Consequently, it is my belief that the Dark Ones were responsible for influencing Earth's decision to withdraw from PAX to begin with.
<DeathStar> <Terlon> Really? I thought it was due to their war with the Tsivrixsh.
<SPoC> No, I am quite alright. Thank you for the offer though. 6She nods to him
<DeathStar> <Warren> The Erusiand voted in favor of the Tsivrixsh rejoining.
* Marcus` gives her a thumbs up. "What do you plan on doing?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks. "Huh."
<SPoC> To notify Katrina that you wanted to make out with me.
<Myria> The individuals responsible for deciding to go to war were also the individuals who were found to have been subverted by the Dakr Ones.
<Ariel> "The Erusians seem... surprisingly close with the Tsivrixsh."
* Marcus` widens his eyes. "I was just joking around!"
<DeathStar> <Warren> If that's the case, then we're going to lose this vote.
* Jennifer` listens quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon nods slowly. "I imagine that makes sense, then."
<SPoC> I do not enjoy men toying with my emotions. 6She looks at him, sad
<Myria> Also, they attempted to sabotage PAX directly at least once.
<Marcus`> I...wasn't. If you woulda said yes, then obviously I would have. But since I knew you wouldn't say yes, it was just a joke, since we both know better, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon listens.
<SPoC> So you are saying that you would have made out with me if I stated yes, than?
<Ariel> "Do you think there's something... less than genuine about the representatives?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's possible.
<Marcus`> Sure. But we both know that you would say no.
<Myria> That suggests to me that they view PAX as a potential threat.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Inflitrating the PAX council would be a priority for the Dark Ones, I would think.
<DeathStar> <Terlon> Then you believe this place is in danger of being destroyed?
<SPoC> And why do you believe that?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets a beep on his comm. He holds it up to his ear, talking into it
<Myria> I am uncertain what the goals behind their moves are. It could as easily be a massive feint.
<Marcus`> Well obviously you're not into me. *he says with a slight shrug*
<DeathStar> <Warren> They were what? ... I see. Yes. I shall deal with it.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren clicks off.
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon nods, concerned.
<Jennifer`> "What happened?"
<SPoC> And why do you assume that?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Dias, Darce, and Cheryl got into a fight wiht some Tsivrixshs. Seems there was some serious injuries.
<Marcus`> You don't act like you are.
* Jennifer` rolls her eyes. "Joy."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks annoyed.
<Myria> It is also possiuble that our own civil war was caused by the Dark Ones, but that is just speculation.
<Ariel> "...we come on a diplomatic mission, and..." *rubs her head*
<DeathStar> <Terlon> They were not even in our galaxy at that point. You first encountered them in another galaxy with the humans.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Ariel, go deal with those three.
<Myria> I suppose so...but still..I can't help but wonder.
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon looks at her oddly.
<SPoC> I do not act like I am into anyone.
<Ariel> "...has security taken them yet?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. They're in the brig.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Let us focus on the current and not the speculation of what the past may be. *He chimes in to Myria*
* Ariel nods and heads for security.
<Myria> Of course.
<Marcus`> Well then you're obviously not into anyone.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Katrina, try to get close to Shretrav. See if you get any funny emotions. I will go talk to Odin.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, and steps out of the room.
* SPoC steps in close to Marcus and rests her hand on his shoulder. 1"I will not tell Kat that you asked to make out with me."
* Jennifer` looks at her Dad quietly.
* Marcus` arches a brow, watching her.
<Myria> Please ignore my speculation. I expect the shadows to come alive half the time.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands up. "Jennifer, you will sta-- 6* He pauses, his tongue not working quite right. He pauses, then repeats. "You will stay here."
<DeathStar> <Terlon> I understand. 6* He nods politely.
* Jennifer` blinks a bit at the odd behavior, but she nods quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Security sits around, making comments about the humans and Tsivrixshs.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods and steps out.
<Marcus`> So, was there something on my shoulder?
<Myria> At any rate, I believe earth is currently as trustworthy relative to the Dark One situation as any other PAX member.
* Ariel looks to the sercurity officers, "...excuse me?"
<DeathStar> <Terlon> I understand. 6* He nods.
<DeathStar> <Security> Yeah? 6* One guy chews on something, eyeing Ariel.
<SPoC> No, I was told that this was acceptable touching.
<Marcus`> I guess so. Why're we touching?
<Myria> In other words...we should watch everyone.
<DeathStar> <Terlon> I will endeavor to do just that.
<Ariel> "I would like to talk to someone regarding some people who were recently picked up... in a bar fight."
<SPoC> Does my touch bother you?
<DeathStar> <Security> Oh, right. 6* He waves her into the back to see them. "They're back there. I'll call the chief."
<Myria> What ar eyour thoughts on th situation?
<DeathStar> <Terlon> As of right now, I think things have been rather quiet here. Business as usual, as the humans would say
* Ariel nods, and heads towards the cells.
<Myria> Hopefully, it stays that way.
<DeathStar> 6* She would find Dias and Darce in one cell, the Tsivrixsh in another, and Cheryl all by herself in a third.
<SPoC> <Dias> You're still a damn moron Darce. Who the hell pulls out weapons? ON A PEACE STATION?
* Marcus` tilts his head. "Well if you're trying to bother me, it's not working. Though it is weird for you to touch me."
<DeathStar> <Terlon> Indeed.
<SPoC> I see. 6She makes an odd face than removes her hand from his shoulder.
<Ariel> "...well, that was a new record."
<Jennifer`> Darce> "A Justicator."
<SPoC> <Dias> PEACE. STATION.
<Myria> And what about Earth? What is the Ascendancy's current view?
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Yes."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lays on her bench, eyeing the ceiling. She's got a nice bruise forming around her mouth
<DeathStar> <Terlon> It is our view that, despite your noble efforts, it is too early to allow them to rejoin PAX.
<SPoC> 6Dias throws his hands up and turns to find Ariel. 1"Ariel, get me out of here before I send him back to the 3rd grade."
* Marcus` smiles. "Problem? Were you wanting to bother me?"
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I wouldn't talk about stupid moves Dias."
<Myria> And why is that?
<DeathStar> <Terlon> There may still be Dark One influence in their government.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren knocks on Odin's door.
<Ariel> "First, I'm curious to know... what were you thinking, starting a bar brawl?"
<Myria> There may be Dark One influence in any of the member governments.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "They started it."
<SPoC> <Dias> Hey, mine were self defense. You pulled out a damn dart..6He looks at Ariel. 1"They called Cheryl ugly so I socked him.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits up, smiling drunkenly. "Arrrieeeel. Get me out here, wouldja?"
<DeathStar> <Terlon> This is a possibility. However, only Earth has, so far, been directly influenced.
* Ariel looks to Dias, "...as much as I appreciate that, we are on a mission."
<SPoC> 6The door unlocks and slides open for Warren. Inside is a rather earthly toned room, artifacts strewn across.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps inside.
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, I know.
<Myria> There has been the situation with regards to Xevil amongst the Tsivirxsh.
<Jennifer`> * Darce yawns a bit.
<DeathStar> <Terlon> Yes. But they did work to impede him, did they not?
<DeathStar> <Terlon> I am sorry, Lady Myria, but my decision is resolute in this matter.
<SPoC> <Odin> Visiting an ambassador before a decision is made is a bold move Warren. 6He steps out of a side room and moves over to his main desk, sitting down.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. I thought you might like it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *hrmphs* Fine. Ignore me.
* Ariel sighs and shakes her head, "I'll do what I can to get you out. But you're not getting away free on this."
<SPoC> <Odin> I've come to expect such manners from you. 6He smiles. 1"What is it you would like to discuss?
<Myria> And it is my first hand belief that keeping Earth within PAX where we are able to more closely observe them is more beneficial.
<SPoC> <Dias> Than punish me for it. 6He sighs.
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon nods. "I will consider your words." 6* He stands.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I think you have a shapeshifter amongst your ambassadors.
<SPoC> <Odin> And your boldness continues. 6He cups his hands before him.
* Myria rises as well.
<Myria> At the very least, if Earth is to be excluded, try to rein in this insane war. The Dakr Ones thrive with the ensuing chaos.
<DeathStar> <Warren> There are too many things that do not add up.
<DeathStar> <Terlon> I do not think the Tsivrixsh nor the Ridiariums are ready to end their war.
<DeathStar> 6* the Captain walks into the brig.
<DeathStar> <Captain> These are your people?
* Marcus` slips away from SPoC and moves to walk about, probably looking for Shretrav.
<SPoC> 6ODin eyes Warren and leans over, hitting something on his table. He leans back. 1"This room is secure Warren. You may speak freely. But I must add that you should choose your words wisely.
<Myria> I foresee disaster if the balance of power in the galaxy is further upset.
* Ariel turns around, just about to go look for the captain. She bows her head, "Yes. I am regretful to say, those two, and and her..." She gestures to Cheryl. "...are all with me."
* SPoC watches Marcus slip away.;
<DeathStar> <Warren> The Tsivrixsh are naturally already against Earth. I don't see them letting the war end, and they do not have to, at this point, either. Even if we joined, they can continue their war and keep peace talks going as long as they have numbers by their side
<SPoC> <Dias> I assure you it was all a misunderstanding, guy, sir, captain.
<DeathStar> <Warren> What I find odd is the Erusians suddenly siding with the Tsivrixsh on matters.
<DeathStar> <Warren> With their vote, the Erusians now have a prime majority vote.
<DeathStar> *er, Tsivrixsh
<SPoC> <Odin> It is an odd stance no doubt considering their history.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts. "You would be regretful to say I am with you."
<DeathStar> 6* The Captain stares at Cheryl, then at Ariel. "They say the female started the fight with the Tsivrixsh, and the Atlean used weapons on them."
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon nods his head. "Yes."
<DeathStar> 6* He opens the door for them
<SPoC> <Dias> Look. The Atleans obviously a moron and Cheryl's a little drunk. The tsiv insulted her and coaxed her into throwing the first punch
<SPoC> And what you have me do about these accusations Warren?
<SPoC> NRP: Odin
<Myria> Come, Theron... *leaves Terlon's quarters*
<Marcus`> *Theron eyes Terlon a moment before stepping out.
<Ariel> "Was anyone seriously hurt?"
<Jennifer`> Darce> "I should point out the only person involved in the fight who took any weapon damage was the kid here." *he taps Dias' head*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren considers. "Well. The fact is I need leeway to find proof that the Erusian Ambassador is not who he appears to be.
<SPoC> <Dias> I got hit by a chair, a table and had a dart slammed into my neck. 6He raises hish and
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> Your ally is not such a good companion.
<DeathStar> 6* He sneers.
* Myria walks down the corridor toward her room.
<DeathStar> <Captain> Well, she wouldn't let us check her out, but the Tsivrixsh suffered some bruised ribs, your friend there a neck wound from a puncture.
<SPoC> <Odin> You're asking me to put a lot on the line Warren. And I've gone far to get where I am right now.
<Marcus`> *Theron walks along, quiet. Probably reaplying the conversation over in his head.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. But even you wouldn't want an agent of the Dark Ones sitting on your council, would you?
<SPoC> <Dias> I'll make a deal. I'll drop my charges if they drop theres.
<Ariel> "...she's stubborn. But it sounds like nothing some time away from a bar wouldn't heal."
<Ariel> "I would ask that you release those three into my care."
* Myria steps into her quarters.
<Myria> Enter, Theron.
<SPoC> <Odin> And do you have a way for us to discern a Dark One?
<DeathStar> <Captain> I can't. Not as long as the Tsivrixsh want to pursue this.
<Marcus`> *Theron pauses and arches a curious brow, before stepping inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav steps into the brig. "Which they will not do so."
<SPoC> <Dias> And of course they'd want to. 6He sighs
* Myria closes the door then taps ehr finger on her sleeve again.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh stare, then eye the ground.
<SPoC> 6Dias pauses, looking at Shretrav now
<SPoC> <Dias> Talk about speaking too soon.
<DeathStar> 6* The captain pauses, then nods. "If that is the case, then I can release them to your care."
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav stares at Dias with her beedy red eyes
<SPoC> 6Dias cringes slightly. 1"Sorry?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I do have a device, on the shuttle, that was designed to detect shapeshifters. It has not been tested.
<Jennifer`> * Darce nods to Shretrav, "Thank you Lady."
<Myria> I've set up a jamming field just in case.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I see. In case of what?
* Ariel nods her head to Shretrav. "Ambassador. You seem to be doing well."
<SPoC> <Odin> You ask me to put everything on the line on an untested device?
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav eyes the Tsivrixsh. "You may stay here and think about your actions." 
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav nods at Ariel. "Yes. Your daughter's shot was luckily not as well placed as it was intended."
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav steps out.
<Myria> Bugs. Anyway, what are your thoughts?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I do not like him. *He says honestly*
<DeathStar> 6* The Captain opens the two cells.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl saunters out, trying to act all professional despite being wasted.
<SPoC> 6Odin leans forward than, his tone shifting slightly. 1"Than the standard deal will be fine. I will require something of you in time and you will pay this debt."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods once. "I expected nothing less."
<SPoC> 6Dias steps out. 1"You sure you can't keep the lug head behind me locked in longer?"
<Myria> I'm not sure yet.
<SPoC> <Odin> Than we have a deal. 6He stands up, holding his hand out.
* Ariel moves over to support Cheryl, to help her at least walk straight. "...Warren will want to speak to all of you, when he has the chance."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs Ariel off. "I'm good."
<Jennifer`> Darce> *slaps Dias in the back of the head* "I'd stop it."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shakes Odin's hand.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I imagine if others share his view, we have lost touch with our people.
<Myria> That's the question. Our collective fear of the Dark Ones may be at work here.
<SPoC> <Odin> I will get what you ask done than. But if the device does not work, I cannot promise to defend you from the outcome.
<Ariel> "... ..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps out of the brig.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I do understand the reluctance towards Earth. But I do not see how the view toward the Tsivrixsh has changed.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'd listen to your own words there birdbrain. 6He nods at the Captain and moves out with Cheryl and Ariel
<DeathStar> <Warren> Understood.
<Myria> It may be a sign that we as a species are ruled by our fears...such that we choose what we percieve to be the least of two evils.
<Jennifer`> * Darce walks after them lazily.
<Marcus`> <Theron> If that is so, then there is little we can do.
<Jennifer`> * Darce walks up to match Dias, and leans over, speaking quietly.
<SPoC> 6Dias stares at Darce oddly. 1"Huh?
* Ariel makes sure the others are in front of her as she heads out
<SPoC> <Dias> You want to do what with my box? 6He makes a disgusted look on his face
<Myria> ...Theron...can you play spy for me?
<Jennifer`> * Darce smiles. "Nice diversion... but I've been thinking I should tell someone what your friend remembers so vividly."
<SPoC> 6Odin motions the door to Warren and he moves back to his desk, bringing his up her terminal
<Jennifer`> * Darce just starts walking away.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I do not understand. Whom would I be spying on?
<SPoC> 6Dias glances back at Ariel. 1"Did you understand anything he said?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren exits.
<Myria> Our personnel on the station...find out what the people say.
* Jennifer` lays back on Warren's bed, having been told to wait there, she reads a book.
<Ariel> "...I'm not sure."
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Later that evening, Warren has a group session in his room.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans on the wall, arms crossed. Katrina has taken a seat on her bed.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, I didn't get anything suspicious from Shretrav.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "That lady got us off charges."
<SPoC> <Dias> I think she's the real deal...Well maybe. 6He rubs his neck, where he got stabbed.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She always did seem more reasonable than other Tsivrixsh
<SPoC> Marcus announced his intentions of making out with me. 6She states, a straight face on
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes SPoC, then Marcus. Katrina blinks.
* Jennifer` is sitting up now, listening to everyone. "He what?"
* Marcus` leans against the wall, arms crossed. "I still can't believe she dropped the charges."
<Marcus`> *Theron stands beside Myria.
<SPoC> <Dias> And? 6He stares at SPoC
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Marcus
<SPoC> I replied that I would rather give CPR to a Vapaad. 6She nods
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts
<Jennifer`> * Darce shudders. "Those things are creepy."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Odin has agreed to let me try the shapeshifter detector on Terlon Lar.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Myria and Theron for their reactions.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I've done the math. If he votes against us, Earth will be failed entry.
<Ariel> "What about the others?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> If it is not him, I will try a scan on Shretrav. However, I do not believe any of the other ambassadors are compromised.
<Myria> We are not sure yet. This may be a matter of fear of the Dakr Ones overriding common sense.
<Marcus`> <Theron> All that is known, is that the Erusian people are loyal, and believe he will make the correct choices.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He is good at not giving away moods.
* SPoC looks at Kat. 1"He hides his emotions, well?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Quite well.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Mmm..."
<SPoC> In combat, it is the person that is the hardest to read that is the most dangerous
<Myria> I do not know what the Ascendancy really thinks.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<DeathStar> <Warren> In an event.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Everyone should rest well tonight
<DeathStar> <Warren> Tomorrow. We act.
<Myria> What are we going to do?
* Jennifer` shakes her head.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We will scan Terlon Lar. 6* He repeats, slowly for Myria.
<SPoC> It would be wise if we stay alert. No doubt news of this will cause a reaction
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kicks off the wall and leaves Warren's room for her own
<Marcus`> So how come me and Dias have to share a room?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Because it amuses me.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands and steps out.
<SPoC> <Dias> Amuse this. 6He gives Warren the bird.
* Ariel smirks a little.
<Marcus`> ...that's pretty sad. *he shakes his head and steps out*
<Jennifer`> * Darce chuckles.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares at Dias
<SPoC> 6Dias moves out of the room
<Marcus`> *Theron bows his head and moves to step out.
* Jennifer` stares at Dias as well, blinking in shock.
* Ariel steps out, going to get a drink and think about things
* Myria follows Theron out.
* SPoC rises from the floor and bows to Warren. 1"Please keep wary tonight."
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren files away Dias' actions.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.7.22
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands in the hallway with his device.
<DeathStar> 6* Blocking the route to the council.
* Marcus` groans once he is out in the hallway, "Dias snores, it's so lame."
<SPoC> <Dias> And you yelp like a pup.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl adjusts her uniform, looking all military proper today.
<Jennifer`> * Darce has actually cleaned up for once, wearing the same coat, but he's in Vertex native clothing.
* SPoC stands beside Cheryl, wearing her uniform a very odd sight on her
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands there silently.
<Marcus`> NRP: Wooo lag spike.
* Ariel wears her uniform as well, standing quietly.
* Marcus` leans against the wall. Theron stands there.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium stomps past them. "Humans puny."
<SPoC> 6Dias wiggles his finger in his ear
* Jennifer` waits inside the council room, out of the way of danger.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav passes next, eyeing Warren.
* Marcus` whistles.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Odin and Terlon Lar approaching.
* Ariel frowns a little, at the two being in close proximity.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at his scanner, then at Terlon Lar. He shifts his scan to focus more on Lar.
<SPoC> 6Odin glances at Warren then stops, tapping his ear and begins talking to someone
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks up. "He's a shapeshifter." 6* He announces.
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon Lar stops, glancing at Warren, then back at Odin.
* SPoC looks up at Warren then over at Terlon Lar.
<SPoC> 6Odin lowers his hand. 1"And you are sure of this?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<SPoC> 6Dias cracks his knuckles.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav turns back around, watching
<Jennifer`> * Darce readies himself.
<Marcus`> *Theron stiffens up. "You are quite sure?"
<DeathStar> <Terlon> What is going on?
<SPoC> <Odin> Ambassadors. It appears we have been deceived by Terlon Lar.
<Myria> This is a problem. *steps out behind Terlon and company*
<DeathStar> <Terlon> I demand to know what is going on. 6* The others eye him
* Marcus` presses off from the wall, tilting his head.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Quit playin dumb."
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon eyes Darce dangerously. "Your insults will not be tolerated."
<SPoC> 6Odin moves inside standing infront of his table. 1"I was approached last night by Warren Carmichael who brought to my attention of the possibility that one among us may be a Shapeshifter that is under the Dark One's command.
<Jennifer`> * Darce doesn't waver, he looks ready to kill.
<DeathStar> 6* Murmuring. Shretrav eyes Terlon.
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon eyes Odin. "This is an outrage."
<SPoC> <Odin> He provided a way to me to distinguish these shapeshifters and I allowed him the chance, risking my career and stance here as an ambassador. But I believe it was the right decision.
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon fumes. "The humans are deceiving you!"
<Myria> Can it be confirmed?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He's very angry. 6* She notes to Warren
<SPoC> hold on
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Keep yellin, that proves everythin."
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon eyes Darce, then Myria and Theron. "Do you see my point now?"
<Ariel> "...just angry?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's all I'm getting.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Perhaps. *he says with a nod*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes him.
<Myria> I choose to reserve judgment. Given the Dark One situation, we cannot afford the possibility that our own a,bassador has been compromised.
<DeathStar> <Terlon> I am not compromised!
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon turns toward Warren, his eyes narrowing. "This is your doing, human." 6* He approaches Warren.
<Jennifer`> * Darce reaches for a weapon. "Stay back."
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon ignores him.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Ambassador, I must request you remain calm.
<Myria> Ambassador, please calm down. I am sure this can all be sorted out.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tenses herself.
* Ariel eyes Odin.
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon turns and walks off. "I will have no part in this."
<SPoC> <Odin> Terlon you will remain where you are.
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon eyes Odin. "I think not."
* Marcus` lowers his hands from having them crossed over his chest. He watches him walk off. Then looks to Odin.
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon continues to leave.
<Jennifer`> Darce> "Do as he says or I open up."
<Myria> *whisper* Theron...be on your guard, there may be more going on here than we are meant to see.
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon moves away. Away. Awwaaaay.
<SPoC> 6Odin looks over at the ambassadors. 1"I request that we detain him in his room for hte time being."
<DeathStar> <Ridiarium> Humans lie. Ridiariums do not agree.
<Jennifer`> Luci> "Agreed."
<Marcus`> *Theron is tense and on his guard, he just hasn't moved yet since he hasn't been given an order.
<Marcus`> Wait, we just going to let him walk off?
<Jennifer`> * Darce geads after him.
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav considers. "I do find the General's accusations to be a bit sudden. In light of the vote that is to occur."
<Jennifer`> *heads
<DeathStar> 6* Terlon moves out of sight of the others.
<Jennifer`> * Darce rushes after him.
<SPoC> <Odin> I agreed myself Shretrav, but considering the animosity the your two races have had with each other, his eagerness to back you up is cause for question
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> I had merely thought the Erusians had become reasonable.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, there's an explosion in the hallway, that engulfs Darce and Terlon. Cheryl blinks
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ...!
<SPoC> <Odin> I do not mean to insult the possiblitiy of this bu-6He turns as the explosion rips through the hallway.
<Marcus`> Holy shit!!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares.
* SPoC shifts into a defensive stance her eyes glancing around.
<Myria> What the?!
<SPoC> 6Dias stumbles back. 1"Yeah something tells me that's not normal.
<DeathStar> 6* The systems work on putting out the flames.
* Ariel forms her armour instinctively, over her uniform.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the hallway.
<Jennifer`> * Luci stands in utter shock.
* Jennifer` looks out into the hall.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves toward the burning hallway, but is forced to back away.
<Myria> We need to investigate!
<SPoC> <Odin> Computer, what is going on?
<Marcus`> *Theron moves to step forward, but shield his himself. "..."
<DeathStar> <Computer> There has been an explosion in Hallway 34-C.
<SPoC> <Odin> Casualities?
<DeathStar> <Computer> Two casualities.
<SPoC> <Odin> List them.
<DeathStar> <Computer> Ambassador Terlon Lar. Justicator Darce
<SPoC> 6Odin slowly looks at the council, a grim look on his face. 1"It appears Warren's fears were correct. We have been comprimised."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the flames quietly.
<Jennifer`> "So wait... they're dead?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Darce? Dude...
* SPoC stares at the flames
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Perhaps. But now we cannot confirm if Terlon Lar was an agent of the Dark Ones.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> A most convenient ending.
<Myria> No, we cannot...
<Marcus`> ....
* Ariel looks to Warren
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is silent, his face unreadable.
<SPoC> <Odin> I agree Shretrav, but I would hope that you would atleast take it into consideration considering what has happened.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Of course. I imagine now, though, that the votes will be in favor of Earth joining.
<Marcus`> *Theron tries to get sight of the bodies, despite the explosion.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands in the hanger. He eyes the unrecognizeable remains of the two corpses.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina seems to be a bit in shock. Cheryl eyes his dead body with a frown.
* Marcus` rubs his mouth, standing off to the side.
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes the corpses, his arms crossed, a distant look on his face
<DeathStar> 6* As desired, Earth has rejoined PAX due to votes.
<Marcus`> *Theron has a frown on his face.
<SPoC> 6Odin stpes into the hanger, his hands behind his back.
<Myria> ...he used to call me dove...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He just pissed me off typically.
<Marcus`> <Theron> That was simply how he spoke.
<Myria> ...something is wrong here...
<SPoC> <Odin> Warren. 6He stops looking over at him.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Odin. "Odin."
* Jennifer` is some distance away, sitting quietly.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Sudden death is seldom right.
<Myria> ...but its too convenient...for someone...
<SPoC> <Odin> The council reviewed the security feed for the past couple days of the hallway. There was a brief time frame where the security feed was down last night.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I see.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Of course.
<SPoC> <Odin> We also reviewed your hallway during the time period
<DeathStar> <Warren> Oh?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren studies him.
<SPoC> <Odin> It would appear all was well. 6He smirks slightly. 1"It would appear that Terlon Lar set up an explosive to hide his identity."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods. "Yes. It would seem so. I thank you for having faith in us, Odin. I will remember it." 6* He nods his head. "It is time we left, however."
<SPoC> <Odin> We look forward to your Ambassador. Let us hope we never meet like this again."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Indeed. 6* He bows his head and steps into the shuttle. Once inside, he erases all the data collected by the device, and sets it down.
* SPoC moves inside herself and takes the pilots seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the shuttle. Katrina frowns a bit, and steps in as well
* Jennifer` sits down in the shuttle and sighs a bit. "I didn't like the guy but..."
<SPoC> 6Dias waves two fingers at the charred corpse and moves onto the shuttle
* Marcus` steps on, Theron does so as well.
* Myria boards the shuttle.
* Ariel heads inside and sits down. She eyes Warren quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pops a pill. "Lets go home."
<DeathStar> -END-
