<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-582.5.24
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station
* Kaedin has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is standing in the hanger with an honor guard of the various security officers who actually work these days. So far, since Slasher's reinstatement, there has been numerous complaints from Ambassador Katrina, who is also present, and some o ther personnel who fear they will die horriblely
* Xanatos`Durran is no where to be found in the hanger, today is one of his rare days off.
* Dias stands there, pulling on his collar, it's obvious he's not comfortable wearing this yet.
<Dias> NRP: Damn me
* Dias is now known as Slasher
* Slasher stands there, pulling on his collar, it's obvious he's not comfortable wearing this yet.
* `Kane has joined #taw
<Jackieness> Back
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands off to the side, her hair up in a bun, wearing her ambassadorial outfit.
<Slasher> NRP: GAH!
<Jackieness> NPR: ACK
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks around for who just said that.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Lol.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Change clothes woman!
* Seraphna is in her usual attire, working on getting everything ready
<Alicia> <Red_Fox> *stands around, there for once*
* `Kane stands shortly behind Warren, decked in uniform.
* Jackieness is now known as Arhn
<Kaedin> *The shuttle that lands is a very strange, yet elegant design, almost it seems to move as if alove, it lands and it's ramp extends silently, a very tall, very large figure seems to glide out of it, wrapped in robes and cloths, hiding it's shape.
<Alicia> NRP: Ah, ambassador Kosh!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps forward, bowing slightly in greeting. "Ambassador Kaedin, welcome to PAX."
<Slasher> <Shiva> *stands off to the side, wearing an one of her more luxorious dresses*
* Arhn also present, clad in one of her elaborate ensemble gowns.
* Kaedin seems to shift a little, turning to (face?) Katrina, the audible click of a translator sounds and soon a response comes out, "...Greetings..." *The voice is very artifical, very monotone.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We have prepared your quarters according to your specifications. 6She motions to the side at Shiva and Arhn. "These are ambassadors Arhn Arhnya and Shiva Sevintes."
* Arhn nods to the new arrival.
* Kaedin shifts again, as if to face them, "...Yes..."
* Seraphna looks up from her duties, eyeing the Ambassador
* Slasher bows her head.
<Alicia> <Red_Fox> *watches quietly*
<Slasher> NRP: Baka
* Shiva has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is silent, just standing there like a good chief of security.
* Shiva bows her ehead, then looks at him studying the new ambassador
<Shiva> NRP: her...
<Arhn> NRP: *Warren's face opens up, revealing the alien running the show.
* Kaedin seems to stand still, the vision lenses on it's mask focusing on each of them in turn, then on Sera's new shuttles.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, allow me to take you to your quarters, Ambassador, so you can get settled in and meet the other ambassadors.
<Kaedin> "...Very Well..."
* Kaedin moves to follow Katrina
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leads him out of the hanger, taking the ambassador down the various hallways to the living area.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Everyone dismissed. 6He tells Kane and Slasher.
* `Kane nods, and moves away from Warren, making his way back to the security office.
* Seraphna looks back to her work, sighing softly, almost as if with relief
* Xanatos`Durran is stepping out of his quarters whenever Katrina is walking by. He looks at the persosn with her and just kinda stands there.
* Kio is now known as Ry1
<Arhn> What do you think, Emissary Shiva?
<DeathStar> NPR: Look out for Ry2
<Shiva> I need to see someone's face before I can make judgement.
* Kaedin glides after her, she probably looks back from time to time to see if the noiseless creatuer is still behind her
<Ry1> NRP: God dammit..I can't even think straight..
* Ry1 is now known as Ry`
* Xanatos`Durran just rubs the back of his neck, "Ummm, Hello Kat, is this the new ambassador?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina never looks back, actually. She seems self-assured of herself, the total opposite of the broken creature from earlier. She stops in front of the door, holding up the cardkey. "This is for your access only, Ambassador." 6She tells Kaedin, unlocking the door for him and setting the card key on the table inside it. She looks at Durran, then nods professionally.
<Arhn> Of course.
* Slasher scratches the back of his head, looking around
* Kaedin slips inside, rotating about to see the full view of the room, "...Good..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren begins to walk out of the hanger toward the security office, holding his datapad in his right hand as he looks at some information.
<Ry`> 2Is currently sitting on his bed silently, and his head tilted back against the back of the wall. A knife is flipped skillfully within his hands, as he lets off a small sigh. 14"Apparantly I missed it..oh well, doubt I missed much..another tight ass no doubt.."
* Xanatos`Durran scratches his chin and just kinda backs away and turns, walking down the hallway, heading for the training room.
* Seraphna finishes up repairing one of the shuttles, checking her datapad, "Only a few hours till it gets here..."
<Alicia> <Red_Fox> *heads off to the security room*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods curtly. "Good. I'm sure you'll find everything to be exactly as you specified. As soon as you're ready, you may contact the ambassadors if you wish. You can also speak with the security office's Chief of Security Carmichael if you need anything. Good day, Ambassador."
<Alicia> NRP: I'm still a bit out of it, mind
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into the security office, moving to the monitors. He quietly talks on the comm, giving orders to some units about security checks. He stands there, completely in his zone.
<Kaedin> "...Yes..."
* `Kane is working at his station, moving his hands about the keyboard. "Good day so far, sir."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina bows slightly, moving away from the living quarters to the diplomatic sector, walking into her office. She begins to shift paperwork
<Arhn> I suppose all we can do now is wait until a meeting is called...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. Very good.
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the training area, deciding that he needs to work of some steam, and possibly get a lit better if he is to face Spade again. He seems to be quite fond of his remaining eye and does not want to lose it too.
* Slasher let's out a sigh and makes his way down to the training area.
* Seraphna heads for Kat's office
* Shiva lets out a big yawn, stretching.
* `Kane stops hitting the keyboard and sits back, looking at the screen.
<Seraphna> *A shuttle contacts the station, "PAX Station, this is EarthGov Shuttle carrying 5 passengers for todays visit."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Jesus. 6He says with a grunt. "Clear them, Kane."
<`Kane> Right, *he gets to work clearing them* I didn't know we were having visitors today, sir.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Reporters.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I've delayed them as long as I could, but with a new ambassador and two they haven't spoken to yet, my hands are tied.
* Slasher steps into the Training Room, unbuttoning his uniform top.
<`Kane> Undeerstandable, sir. *he finished clearing them, all thats left is for them to dock.*
* Kaedin is now known as Elayne
* Arhn starts back to the diplomatic section.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits down, seeing a response from High Command informing them that they overturned Katrina's attempt to have Slasher removed and thanking Warren for giving him a chance.
* Xanatos`Durran glances over at Slasher. "Evenin, Winters. Got the day off as well?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits down at her computer, typing a report telling High Command about the new ambassador.
<Elayne> *The Shuttle lands and the doors open, Ramp pulling out as several men carrying large cases of equipment, mostly cameras, step out
* Elayne follows after them, finely dressed as always, "Wow... they really fixed this place up..."
* Seraphna knocks on Katrina's door.
* Shiva makes her way towards Kat's office, her steps light as she walks
<`Kane> So has there been any problems from Winter's sir?
<`Kane> NRP: Lt. Winters. Forgot the Lt. ;P
* Ry` gets to his feet finally, and leaves the room that confined him. However his schedule was quite..simple, and he had little to do as far as anything went. Both hands slid themselves into his pocket as he walked, and he let his mind wander.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Come in. 6She says loud enough to be heard through the door. The camera in her office has been disabled permenately.
* Slasher looks over at Xanatos, as if he's studying him.
* Seraphna steps in, almost meekly, "H-Hey Kay..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What can I do for you, Serena? 6She asks her firmly, looking up.
<Elayne> "Okay, crew, take 5, I'll go see the lady in charge."
<Seraphna> "Well... there's no consulor anymore and well... I was hoping to talk with you."
* Xanatos`Durran just turns away, moving over to the equipment locker, he pulls out a rather heavy rod that is supposed to be used for saber training, he moves over to a larger area and gets into his stance, taking points to make sure his form is perfect.
* Slasher pulls his top off. 1"Something like that"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Winters has been perfect.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm afraid I don't have time, Serena. 6She informs her.
<`Kane> He was before he did those things too Sir.
<Seraphna> "O-Oh... okay... sorry to bother you..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I know. 6He states simply, glancing at a report in fornt of him.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Slasher and just keeps training, he really doesn't feel like having this issue today.
* Seraphna backs up and steps out
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's no bother. 6She glances at her screen, seeing Shiva and Elayne are about to arrive.
* Arhn is approaching Kat's office from the oppostide end of the corridor.
* Elayne nears Katrina's door, seeing Lt. Cran run out of it, "Gotta get some comments off her later..." *she notes to herself before knocking*
<Ry`> 2Does his random hall walking..to him it gave him the aura he was doing some creative with his time..when he really wasn't.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Come in, Miss. Trenton. 6She says outloud.
* Slasher tosses the top of his uniform off to the ground and he crosses his arms, watching Xanatos carefully.
* Shiva stops moving over to a water fountain to drink from.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs and glances over at Slasher. "Am I in your way?"
* Elayne comes in, rubbing her ears, "Hello Lt. Commander."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I suppose you're here to try to talk to our Ambassadors? 6She asks her curtly.
* Seraphna sits down in the lounge, looking around quietly, looking kinda lost.
<Elayne> "I have full permission of EarthGov command and a press pass, so yes."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Of course you need their permission, Miss. Trenton.
<Slasher> What makes you think that?
* Arhn stops and enters her quarters, pouring herself a drink.
<Elayne> "Well of course, I'm not an interregator or anything..." *she smiles softly* "By the way Lt. Commander... any word of William Spade? The word back on Earth is that he's still alive and at large."
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs, "You just seem to be ready to train."
<Ry`> 2Ry would been seen entering the lounge also, looking irritated out of his mind. He gently scoots over to a corner..where he simply observes the happenings. That's when he sees the lone Sera..maybe this time THEY can actually rp..>.> 14"Nothing to do?"
<DeathStar> NRP: I sense Ry is breaking the fourth wall.
<Slasher> My access to weapons is very limited, there's no point in training with them.
* Seraphna hmms and looks up, "Oh well... yeah... no one to really talk to these days..."
<Xanatos`Durran> nRP: Its all for good fun.
<Seraphna> NRP: <Ry> I'm right here! <Sera> Did someone say something?
<Slasher> NRP: I heard something crack....
<Ry`> NRP: *sigh*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I have no comments, Miss. Trenton.
<Elayne> "And the five techs who were killed in his attemtps at kidnapping station personel?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No comments at this time.,
<Ry`> 14"That's an obvious..all the ambassadors have the conversational skills of a tree stump.."
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his shoulder, "I thought you weere given full access as a security officer?"
<Elayne> "How about the reinstatement of Lt. Winters, who was charged with conspiracy against EarthGov?"
<Slasher> That would be foolish now wouldn't it?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm afraid I cannot comment on how the security affairs of this station.
<Seraphna> "I guess... it's just I used to talk to Kat... or... Ariel... whenever I had problems..."
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs, "Warren seems to trust you now. Do you think it would be foolish?" He eyes Slasher.
* Elayne sniffs the air gently
<Elayne> "I see."
<Slasher> There's no trust between us. You lack the vision to see that apparently.
<Elayne> "Very well then... would you like to arrange a place to meet with them or should I find my own way?"
* Xanatos`Durran nods his head, "Maybe because I only have ONE eye? Slasher, don't bother me. I don't feel like this today."
<Ry`> 14"I can't really help you there..as much as I wish I could. Could always try to make new friends, theres alot of new people on this station now"
* `Kane glances up at the monitor of the training room. He pauses on it for a moment, then shakes his head, returning to so some files that Warren decided he didn't want to mess with.
* Seraphna seems to think back to a little earlier in the day, "Yeah..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You should conduct them each personally to see if they will meet with you, Miss. Trenton. Good day. 6She says firmly, going back to her report.
<Seraphna> "THe Vapaas was a little unsettline..."
<Seraphna> *Vapaad
<Slasher> I'm just trying to make sure that if a situation arises I won't have to worry about losing my life if you're near by.
* Elayne nods and heads out, heading for Arhn's quarters first.
<Ry`> 14"I wouldn't worry too much about it if I were you..since you won't be the one dealing with..it in case of emergency.."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren seems tuned out, his hand to his ear, as if he's listening to something.
* Shiva stands up, stretching, walking back off to Kat's office.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs, moving over to the weapons locker and puts the training weapon up. "Slasher, to be a person that is so sorry for what they did, you sure have a great way of showing that." He turns to look at Slasher. "I'm thankful that you assisted in saving Kane and Sera. But don't expect me to say it. Alright?"
<Seraphna> "I'll have to deal with it eventually... I'm the one that adapted thier technology to our new shuttles. I think he noticed too..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina types on her computer again.
<Ry`> 14"I see..those shuttles came before he did..was the technology..acquired through illegal means?"
* Elayne knocks on Ahrn's door
* Arhn clicks the door comm button, "Who is it?"
<Seraphna> "No... they gave us the alloy supply initially as a gift..."
* `Kane sighs, finishing the reports. "So do I have anything else to do today, Sir?"
<Slasher> I'm not here to redeem myself anymore. That attempt failed the second I stepped back on this station.
<Elayne> "Elayne Trenton, Earth News, can I see you?"
<Arhn> Earth...news?
<Elayne> "Yes... Earth News."
<Arhn> What is this Earth News?
* Shiva steps outside of Katrina's office and leans her back against the door, rapping the back of her hand against it
<Elayne> "It's how we carry important facts and day to day events to all our people Ambassador."
<Ry`> 14"Hmmm..then I fail to see what you are really worried about...then again I havn't met it personally"
<Xanatos`Durran> It is hard to be forgiving Slasher. I've been trying, but you aren't helping that much. Constantly belittling me. It's quite agitating.
<Seraphna> "They just creep me out... no one's ever seen a Vapaad outside of thier suits..."
<Slasher> Self-preservation is a strong motivation to point out other's weakness's
<Arhn> I see. Enter. *presses the open button*
* Elayne smiles and steps in.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Come on in, Shiva. 6She says, her voice a note friendlier than it has been.
* Arhn rises from behind her desk.
* Shiva reaches her hand to the side, opening the door, she steps in backwards. 1"There you are hiding"
<Xanatos`Durran> Ahh, and I guess that having one eye and not being to professional that stick protrudes out my ass is certain weaknesses that have are optimal to point out.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Flies around to Serenity music*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina keeps typing her report up, not glancing up at Shiva, but a smile on her face. "I wish I was hiding."
<Ry`> 14"Are you always this uncomfortable around aliens?"
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP; I keep leaving out little words. ;S
<DeathStar> NRP: I blame it on your lisp.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: since whn do I have a lisp?
<DeathStar> NRP: Since now.
<Slasher> Your arrogance is your biggest weakness. Plus that one eye thing...
* Seraphna sighs and sits back, eyeing the news, "...No... well... it's just some species... Ridariums especially that just... bother me for some reason..."
<Xanatos`Durran> nrP: ok.
* Slasher taps his finger against his mouth as he thinks
<Xanatos`Durran> My arrogance? Hmmm, perhaps your right. But I wouldn't be much of a pilot if I wasn't just the slightest arrogant.
<Slasher> Arrogance doesn't make you a better person.
<Ry`> 14"It seems you suffer from same behavior I've observed of many on this station..the inability to relax."
<Shiva> You're paper works piling up my dear?
<Arhn> Please, do be seated.
<Xanatos`Durran> Never said it did Slasher. *he rubs his neck, obviously not wanting to be here.* Are you tired of trying to make me feel like your better yet?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes. 6She says, finising the report and then bringing up another file. She begins to go through the files of some alien race who is a possible candidate for visiting
* `Kane arches a brow, looking at Warren. "Sir...do you have anything else for me to do today?"
<Slasher> I already know I'm better. I have two reasons already. That's not what this is about. Like I said earlier, I'm just hear to study.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You can have the day off. 6He tells Kane without much thought.
<Arhn> NRP: *probes Elayne
* Elayne takes a seat and smiles, "Oh, one second."
* Elayne speaks into her comms, "Send one in please."
<Arhn> One second? *sits as well*
* `Kane doesn't ask and just stand, exiting the security office and unbuttons his jacket as he walks down the hall.
<Elayne> "Now... sorry about that, had to send for a camera."
<Shiva> I know it's not Earth Gov code and conduct, but how's about I give you a hand. I promise I won't read any of it? *she lets out a lopsided smile*
* Xanatos`Durran grits his teeth. "That way you can report to Spade whatever you may find?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You know I can't accept that help. 6She tells Shiva with some sterness in her voice, probably practiced since she got this job.
<Seraphna> "I guess... just with everything that's happened... I've kinda been left on my own..."
<Shiva> I'm sure that someone of your position can request an assistant to help keep her sane.
<Slasher> ....Spade?
<Arhn> I see...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I couldn't ask an ambassador. 6She tells Shiva.
<Shiva> Then ask a friend.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his fingers, then sits up, logging off duty. He stands up, moving down the hallway.
<Elayne> *In floats a small pod with a large lense on it, seeming to stare at Ahrn
* `Kane stops by his room to toss his jacket inside and makes his way for the galley.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll look into finding an assistant first thing tomorrow.
<Elayne> "Oh there it is, we can begin."
<Xanatos`Durran> How do I know that you haven't been in contact with him this whole time Slasher? It's obvious he pays more than PAX does.
* Seraphna stands slowly, "Hungry?"
<Ry`> 14"It may be out of my place to say so, but I'm always available to help with that. I get tired of Warrens constant silence anyway..it drives me nuts"
<Arhn> Proceed then.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves into the hanger, grabbing a signout sheet. He signs his name down, glancing at the camera crew's shuttle, then moves over to one of the old shuttles that isn't the new design by Sera.
<Ry`> 14"And a bit.."
<Slasher> Ahh that's right...With this Spade's return, you no doubt believe that I'm still working for him again...
<Slasher> How would he have gotten a hold of me? There's camera's on me at all times, I'm got a tracker in my Comm system. I can't even pee without you guys knowing it.
<Elayne> "Very well, can you state your name, position, and the people you represent to the camera Ambassador?"
<Xanatos`Durran> No, Actually i'm hoping that i'm wrong Slasher. We don't need that again, unlike you I care for PAX, and thats the last thing I want to happen.
<Xanatos`Durran> nRP: Fucker, I was typing. :P
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks up the ramp, closing it behind him. He grabs the controls, going through the set up as he activates the auto-pilot for Europa below them.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs, 'Like I said, I don't want that to be the case. But i'm still not going to automatically trust you at the first thought and allow you to get my back.
<Slasher> Have you ever asked yourself what it would be like to...Wake up one morning.....With no memory what so ever, to discover that you have no family to tell you, and that the entire world hates you....
<Arhn> Of course. I am Arhn Arhnya, ambassador from the Erus Ascendancy.
<Slasher> ...Of course not...You're a pilot, arrogance would blind that.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren activates it and the shuttle lifts up and flies out of the hanger, doing a graceful dip toward the moon below.
* Shiva moves over and sits on the edge of Kat's desk, she arches her back as she let's out a stretch.
<Elayne> "And Miss Arhnya, how do you feel about all you've witnessed since you came to PAX?"
* Seraphna smiles and heads to the galley
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina quietly looks up. "You must be bored, Shiva. You should know you're missing your 15 minutes of fame right now with the camera crew here."
<Arhn> Things that I have seen have not be entirely unexpected.
* Ry` starts to walk with silent steps behind her.
* Xanatos`Durran chuckles, "Slasher. You do not know me. And you never will. Just as long as we keep that clear, then i'll be fine. So you have no memory and no family, well I have plenty of memories I don't want along with a family that doesn't need me. Have anything else to pout about?"
<Slasher> Who said I was pouting?
<Xanatos`Durran> Oh, no one. I just know that we all have problems, some of us just like to put them out there more than others.
<Shiva> Oh I am bored no doubt. I don't know if I'm upto being infront of a camera right now...I've had a coupld long nights ealing with my business associates lately.
* `Kane sits in the galley, eating on some lunch.
<Elayne> "I wonder, is such an expectation a good or a bad thing, do you think the Erus Ascendancy will coninute it's Alliance with Eartheven if the PAX Project fails?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances back down at the files.
<Ry`> NRP: "No..we will nuke the fuck outta Earth"
* Seraphna steps in, grabbing a rice bowl, she spots him and heads over to him
<Arhn> PAX must succeed. Should a war break out again...
<Elayne> "Who's side would you be on Ambassador?"
<Slasher> When have I ever worn my problems on my vest?
* Ry` got his usual salad, and took his usual spot upon the table.
<Arhn> The Tsivrixsh are an old foe. They consider us demons and we consider them much the same. Should war break out, the Tsivrixsh shall always be on the other side.
<DeathStar> 6* The engineers looked subdued and silent, sulking probably.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs and moves over to his jacket, he picks it up. "Look. I know you don't like me. If you do...you have an odd way of showing it. But me, I could care less. Get off my back and i'll leave you alone. That is all I ask." He starts heading for the door.
* `Kane glances up at Ry and Sera. "Oh hello, How are you two today?"
<Seraphna> "Okay." *she sighs and takes a seat, "And you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Some scowl at Ry, probably blaming him for the reprimands thrown at them by Kat
<`Kane> Oh i'm great, I got off of duty early today. Apprently Warren had alot on his mind.
* Slasher watches him leave without a word.
<Elayne> "Ah... I think it's about Ariel..."
<Ry`> 2Glances up at the engineers with that merciless look of his, and spin the fork around for use as a lethal weapon. Duruing this time, he was thinking of what reasons he could have for killing several engiineers.
<Elayne> ((ack!))
<Seraphna> "Ah... I think it's about Ariel..."
* Xanatos`Durran stops at the door, turning around. "And just because I have one eye. Doesn't mean I still can't see. I want to believe that you are on the "good" guy side or whatever we are. Don't change that, cause I hate trying to figure out who to shoot at." He turns and steps out, walking down the hallway and heading back to his room.
<Elayne> "I see, and the crew of PAX, do you trust them?"
<Slasher> You wouldn't be able to hit me anyways. I'd just keep myself to your right.
* Xanatos`Durran ignores him as he goes.
* Slasher lets out a huge yawn, scratching his chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Some of the mechanics in the hanger are studying the ambassador's shuttle, poking it.
<Arhn> In previous...incidents, they ensured my safety, so yes, I trust them.
* `Kane takes a bite out of his sandwich and glances at Ry, "I figured as much. I wish I could help him out. He's starting to freak me out, acting all...odd."
<Slasher> 'bout time...*he walks over to a pull-up bar and grabs onto it, pulling his legs up and over the rail, he then lets his hands go and hangs there while he pulls out a book which he begins to read.
<Elayne> "And Lt. Winters? Who aided in the previous attack on this station and killed it's original commander? Not to mention nearly destroyed Dragoon Alpha Ariel?"
<Ry`> 14"I think he had a thing for the person he was visiting in the medical center all those times.."
<Seraphna> "This place... is getting really bad..."
* Shiva turns her head around and looks down at Kat again, eyeing her work.
<DeathStar> 6* The engineers give Ry the bird, then go back to eating lest he sees them again
<Arhn> I have not be appraised on that matter.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds up a hand to block Shiva's view. "You know better."
<`Kane> We're fine Sera, you're being to Paranoid. And yes Ry, Ariel was the person in the medical center. The Dragoon that Spade took. Warren was fond of her.
<Shiva> You know if I really wanted to find out, I'd just brush up against you.
<Elayne> "And to wrap up... word is you're trying an experiment?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at her. "You think I'm THAT easy, Shiva?" 6She says with a bit of a flirt taunt in there.
* Seraphna looks down at her food
* Xanatos`Durran emerges from his room in some casual clothing, he sighs at not gotten anything accomplished today, he slowly walks through the halls, wondering what he can do.
<Seraphna> "Ariel was a good friend to me..."
<Arhn> That is a personal matter.
<Elayne> "Normally that could be understood, but the rumor is you're trying to... breed with a human being?"
* Shiva lets out a light chuckle. 1"I only hoped it would be that easy. But I suppose I oculd always take you out to dinner first."
* `Kane glances at Sera. Then takes another bite. "So anything eventful happen today?"
<Ry`> 14"Stupid drunken fucks.." 2He narrowed his eyes, and resisted the urge to jump over the table and murder each and every one of them for trying to rape his ambassador. His whole body shook violently.
<Seraphna> "Just that creepy Vapaad arriving..."
* `Kane glances at Ry. "Ignore them."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I fear dinner cannot buy my secrets. 6She closes the window, deciding it safer to wait until the ambassador is out of the room. She looks at her challengingly.
<Arhn> Not breed... *narrows her eyes*
<Elayne> "Mate with then... have intercourse with?"
<Ry`> 14"Ignore them?...tsh"
<Shiva> NRP: window?
<DeathStar> NRP: The computer window with the info
<Shiva> NRP: Ahhh.
<Arhn> Of what interest is this to you?
<DeathStar> 6* The engineers get up, putting their trays up quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* As they exit, one throws pudding at Ry, then runs out
<Elayne> "It's news Ambassador, the people are always interested."
<Shiva> And here I was dieing to take you to this place I heard about on Europa*
<Arhn> I am inclined to disagree.
<`Kane> They are doing that because they know there is nothing you can do. It's best ignore them and allow them to be immature. Whenever I first arrived, they picked on me as well. But then Lt. Commander Durran taught me to defend myself and i'm still not sure that one's nose is fully functional.
* `Kane glances at the pudding. He just takes another bite.
<Elayne> "Very well then, thank you for your time Ambassador."
<Slasher> NRP: LIES!
* Ry` smacks it away with his free hand, but out of anger..he drives the fork into the table with incredible strength. It took everything in his power..to not get up..to not rip them limb by limb.. 14"So..do you think they should get away with attempted rape? Forgive my morality for being too high.."
<DeathStar> NRP: The two who did it were removed from the station long ago
<`Kane> Rape? I thought those were removed from the station?
* Xanatos`Durran passed by Katrina's office, his foot hesitates he glances at the door.
<Seraphna> "They were." *nods*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You know as well as I do I don't have time for social engagements. I have to keep myself busy.
<Ry`> 14"Were they? Pity..I didn't have the honor of gutting them.."
<Arhn> Of course.
<Shiva> That's why you need an assistant my dear, to give you time to relax.
<`Kane> Good thing, wouldn't want some icky earthgov inspectors here.
* Elayne smiles and nods, walking out, the camera following her, she heads back to Katrina's office.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at the two woman and then puts on a make smile. "Good evening Ladies." He waves his hand and then continues down the hall. As he passes Elayne he would give her a small nod as well.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: fake*
<Shiva> ....Fine you win...*she hops off her desk and walks over to the door opening it* Some day we're going out for dinner...*with that she leaves and walks down the hallway*
<`Kane> NRP: DS told me it was open. :S
* Arhn opens her personal log...
* Elayne smiles and nods to him, she;s about to knock on the door, "Oh! Ambassador Shiva! I was about to ask where to find you."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits there, obviously feeling Xan's fake emotions.
<Shiva> *is already walking down the hallway away from them*
* Slasher begins rocking back and forth as he reads upside down.
<Arhn> For future reference for both myself and my successors, human media services do not respect boundaries.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs, trying to keep herself sober to focus on this work. She turns to look at it, bringing up the information again.
* Elayne follows after her, "Ambassador!"
* Xanatos`Durran picks up his comm as he walks, he sends a private message to Katrina, "Your book free anytime here in the next month?"
<Ry`> 14"Yeah..this is what I signed on for..fantastic..to be shunned by practically the whole crew..and the victim of hate.." 2Pulls back in his seat, sighing rather annoyed at that
* Shiva stops, looking at the peculiar girl. 1"Maybe..."
* Seraphna fnishes, looking down at her bowl
* `Kane sighs, "Don't worry about them Ry. They are just angry cause they're sober."
<Elayne> "Ambassador Shiva, Elayne Trenton, Earth News, I'd like to conduct an interview with you."
* Seraphna looks a little blank, staring at her bowl
* Ry` looks at Seraphna. 14"She do that often?"
* `Kane glances at Sera. "Well, she hadn't in a while....this whole Spade alive again thing has gotten under her skin..."
* Shiva looks at her, obviously thinking deeply about something. 1"I suppose I can allow that. "
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sends him a copy of her schedule.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, then smiles, sending Shiva the same copy. She sits back, then goes back to work.
<Seraphna> "Will..."
<Elayne> "Ah good, would you like to do it in your quarters?"
<Ry`> 14"Is it..like her brother or something?"
* Xanatos`Durran eyes it.
<Shiva> My dear, we've only just met...
* `Kane frowns, "Lover actually. Caused a whole heep of trouble for us though."
<Arhn> NRP: Elayne wants to do it in Shiva's quarters!
<DeathStar> NRP: We all want to do it in Shiva's quarters.
* Shiva looks down at her datapad as it beeps, she begins looking at it.
* Elayne smiles softly, "I feel an intimite seeting might give a better reaction with the public."
<Ry`> 14"I see..he was a bit of a fool for throwing it away then..wasn't he?"
<Seraphna> "Huh... oh... yeah he was..."
* Seraphna closes her eyes, "Sorry..."
* `Kane sighs, "You shouldn't be so sad Sera, could be worse."
<Ry`> 14"Really? It seems like they are enemies..how could it be worse?"
<Seraphna> "Yeah... everyone could forget my first name and just judge me by my last..." *shakes her head and sighs* "I'm starting to think that offer is going to be completely welcome soon..."
<Shiva> *looks up* Huh...Oh...Let's not disturb Miss Katrina. We'll head to the Observation Deck. Should be more quiet.
* Shiva she turns around and begins walking towards the Observation Deck.
<Ry`> 14"Do not imply everyone..for I fall into that catagory..and I clearly do not think that way.."
<`Kane> Neither do I.
* `Kane smiles lightly.
<DeathStar> 6* No one else in the cafeteria agrees.
* Xanatos`Durran picks up the comm again, "I understand that I apparently opened my fat mouth and made you upset about it, but seeing as how you have some late night time open, I was hoping we could talk about it. Maybe if I figure out what I did, I can apologize proper?"
<Elayne> "Very well, lead on Ambassador."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6She touches her comm. "Apologize for what, Xan?" 6She asks him as she reads her files.
<Xanatos`Durran> "Well...thats what i'm trying to figure out...I was hoping you could help me."
* Seraphna smiles softly, "Good to have some people around to talk to..."
<Ry`> 14"As you can see..I'm not exactly a hot topic around here either.."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not angry at you. 6She says with a sigh, glancing at the comm.
* `Kane chuckles, "Well you all should do like me and stick with the background shadows. Leave the problems for the Captain and Ms. Katrina."
* Shiva stops in the observation deck, sitting down in a comfortable seat, she leans to the side of it, crossing her legs.
<Ry`> 14"Sorry not that kind of guy..if I see someone in trouble..I'll be the first one to try to help them"
* Seraphna rubs her head softly, wincing
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his head as he steps into the hanger, he moves over to a shuttle, getting inside it to have himself a seat. "Well. I would still like to have a sitdown with you on the occassion. But, I don't want to keep you from anything. Just let me know...."
<`Kane> Well that wasn't what I was referring too...but..ok.
* Elayne takes a seat across from her, the camera floating nearby, "Now Ambassador, could you state your name, position, and the people you represent to the camera?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... I like you, Xanatos. You're a lot of fun to be with - but with this job, I can't commit to a full time relationship. I like spending time with you, though. I do. And I would like to keep doing so.
* Ry` holds out his bottle of aspirin for Sera..courtesy of Warren.
<Seraphna> "Won;t help... it's that kinda headache you get from thinking too much..."
* Arhn leaves her quarters for Kat's office now.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles lightly, "Then just call me whenever you would like me around. I'll be around here until then."
<Shiva> Shiva Sevintes, I'm an Ambassador for the Cartel. A group of planets that formed a business alliance to further the development of our system.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Sounds good. I'll talk with you soon, Xan. 6She disconnects.
* `Kane looks at Sera concerned. "You should visit with Ms. Peacemaker."
* Arhn steps into Katrina's office.
* Ry` slips the aspirin back in his pocket. 14"It doesn't seem like a Physical problem..I wanted to be a doctor before A soldier..so I have extensive medical knowledge.."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hello, Ambassador Arhn. I hope Elayne Trenton didn't bother you too much.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs as he pockets the comm and looks around the shuttle.
<Elayne> "Does the Cartel hold any special feelings for the Tsivrixsh?"
<Shiva> We don't hold any special feelings towards anyone honestly. We prefer to choose what's best for business.
* Seraphna sighs and lays he head down on the table, "I just... can't wait for the day all these questions in my head find answers..."
<DeathStar> NRP: 50 years later...
<Elayne> "And if PAX were to fail?"
<Arhn> Lieutenant McCormick?
<DeathStar> NRP: Ow. Slam her in rank.
<`Kane> You could be thinking too much into things Serena.
<Arhn> NRP: Commander?
<DeathStar> NRP: Lt. Commander.
<Arhn> NRP: I knew it was Lt something!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What can I help you with?
<Seraphna> You're right... I should be cramming for some test in college right now... not worrying about an elaborate plot rising behind all our backs, probably from 4 or 5 different sources..."
<Arhn> I would request prior warning when your media services are on the station.
<Ry`> 14"Apparantly..it's Cliche around here"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I understand. I will do my best to do so. I would suggest you never agree to speak with them unless there's no way around it.
<Shiva> We'd prefer that PAX would not fail seeing as it's a great asset to the Cartel. Because we're business partners, we are willing to spend some of our money to invest back into PAX if need be.
* `Kane chuckles. "YOu think too much about it, and you'll get yourself burnt out and they'll slip right by you."
<Arhn> I know that now for the future...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I apologize for the discomfort it might have caused you.
<Elayne> "Interesting" *her tone is much freindlier with Shiva* "And would you like to tell me what you think of all the recent incidents on this station?"
<Ry`> 14"I would suggest thinking of nothing at all but your current situation..right here and now for the moment"
<`Kane> Right, and just keep a wary eye open. Not both eyes.
<Shiva> While I caught the tail end of the events, I feel that after being through several diplomatic missions with the crew, that they will be successful in focusing things back on the task at hand.
<Seraphna> "WHat I'd like to do if get my butt off this station for a few hours and have some fun..."
<Ry`> 14"Theres some shuttles..go at it, nothing happening"
<Elayne> "I see, and the terrorist threat one week ago, where your life, and that of Ambassador Ahrn's were demanded... how did you feel about that?"
<`Kane> I wouldn't mind to accopany you. Unless you'd rather go alone.
* Seraphna smiles to Kane, "No fun alone..."
<`Kane> Well i'm not much fun either. I was just checking...
<Shiva> How do you think I felt? It's not a fun position to be put in. Sadly I've been in similar situations before so I was able to remain calm during it.
<Ry`> 14"I'd offer myself, but I doubt I would be no more then a bother..being unfamiliar with Earth Culture"
<Elayne> "Oh you're coming... wanna come too Ry?"
<Elayne> ((DOH))
<Seraphna> "Oh you're coming... wanna come too Ry?"
* Xanatos`Durran stares out the viewport of the shuttle. Bored.
<Ry`> 2Slaps comment here
* `Kane glances at Ry. "I doubt you'll be any worse than me.'
<Ry`> 14"I suppose I could try.."
* Seraphna stands then
<Seraphna> "Okay... let's go."
<Elayne> "If given the choice yourself... would you have traded your life for the five that were shot? And the lives of Lt. Cran and Lt. Kane?"
* `Kane finished off sandwich as he stood and moved over to throw away his trash.
<Shiva> I had offered it at one point but was turned down at the time.
* Ry` finishes his drink, before putting up his tray with the others. 14"Does someone need to pilot?'
<`Kane> Well...I recall Warren saying you were a pilot.
<Seraphna> "It's all automated."
<Elayne> "Very nice to know we have allies who have compassion."
* `Kane shrugs. "I never knew. I don't get out much."
<Elayne> *ELayne's comm beep
<Elayne> "Just a moment... yes?"
<Ry`> 14"Well..least the way"
<Elayne> Cameraman on the Comm> "Trenton, get your ass to the bay, we've got a breaking story on Europa"
* `Kane glances at Sera. 'Waiting for Sera to go ahead."
<Shiva> Hmmm?
<Elayne> "Well! I think we're done for now, thank you Ambassador."
<`Kane> NRP: Did I just put quotes around that....well they don't belong there.
<Ry`> *lead*
<Shiva> Very well then. *she bows her head slightly*
* Seraphna taps in some codes and the shuttle takes off
* Elayne nods to her, shakes her hand, then rushes down to the bay
<Xanatos`Durran> nrp; ....wait a minute. We were just in the cafeteria...
<Seraphna> NRP: MY TELEPORTATION POWERS INCREASE!
<`Kane> NRP: :P You're just gonna have to walk like the rest of us.
<DeathStar> NRP: Yes. You have to walk
* Seraphna WALKS to the hangar then, then WALKS into a shuttle. One of the standard ones.
* Ry` FOLLOWS..by WALKING.
<DeathStar> 6* One of the standard shuttles are gone.
* `Kane follows her. Rubbing his head, wondering why all the people are walking to loud.
<`Kane> You all shouldn't stomp when you walk. It is bad on the ankles.
* Slasher swings back and forth then flips off, landing on his feet, he slumps down into an indian sit and continues reading
* Seraphna types in a few codes and the shuttle is off
<Arhn> It is a learning experience, lt. commander.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hopefully we can at least make it a more pleasant one in the future.
<Arhn> That would certainly be preferable.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Is there anything else you need?
* Elayne and her crew take off in thier own shuttle, heading down to the colony
* `Kane sits in one of the sits, eyeing space. "So what do you plan on doing today?" he was saying this to Serena.
<Slasher> NRP: <Sera> You..
<DeathStar> 6* The police seem gathered around a resturant, with several people clad in black laying on the streets dead. The cops seem gathered around someone wearing a black trench coat.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes the shuttles taking off and shrugs, he just found that sitting here would keep everyone away from him.
<Ry`> NRP: The mafia
* `Kane eyes the scene. "Hmm...looks like trouble. We should go see whats up."
<Ry`> 14"Are you positive?...if there's trouble..."
<`Kane> Well, we didn't do anything. I'm just curious as to whats going on."
<`Kane> What do you say, Sera?
<Seraphna> "Damn... that's the restaurant I wanted to go to!"
<DeathStar> 6* The police seem to be dispersing some, probably getting their jobs done. A stretcher is brought out of the resturant - with a bodybag on it.
<Ry`> 14"Not talking about the police.."
<Seraphna> "Let's head over there..." *the shuttle lands and she gets off*
* `Kane eyes the man in the trenchcoat. "Hmmm, that coat seems familier."
* `Kane gets up and follows after her.
* Ry` gets off after the pair, and eyes the surroundings cautiously.
<DeathStar> 6* The police have closed the area off and have a barricade set up to stop people from getting close.
* `Kane stops at the barricade then.
* Ry` tries to get a look at the face.
* Elayne takes a good look at what's going on, slipping over the barricade, making sure her EarthGov insiginias are visible, she heads to an officer, "What happened here?"
* DeathStar is the one in the black trench coat, talking to a police officer. He seems to scowl, nodding as the officer walks off. He turns, walking off, obviously done with their questions.
<Elayne> ((DOH))
<DeathStar> NRP: Er, Warren
* Seraphna takes a good look at what's going on, slipping over the barricade, making sure her EarthGov insiginias are visible, she heads to an officer, "What happened here?"
<DeathStar> <Police> I'm afraid I can't answer that right now. 6He says, eyeing her.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren slips through some barricades away from them, heading for a nearby shuttleport
* Seraphna eyes Warren, and heads after him, "Hey Warren!"
* `Kane watches Sera, then watches Warren. "Hmmm. I wonder what happened..." Then watches Sera.
<Ry`> 14"Looks like maybe an assassination attempt.."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to look at Sera as she approaches.
* Alicia is now known as Edessa
<`Kane> I guess we should go over there.*he sticks his hands in his pockets as he trots over to where Warren and Sera is.
<Seraphna> "Hey what happened?"
* Edessa is now known as Alicia
<Ry`> 14"Some fun this turned out to be..." 2Walked calmly after them
<DeathStar> <Warren> Just a random killing, I suppose. 6He says with a shrug, moving back toward the shuttleport.
* Alicia is now known as Edessa
* `Kane glances at Ry. Then watches Warren walk off. "...lively indeed."
<Seraphna> "Fine fine... just get my shuttle back in one piece."
* Seraphna yawns, "Let's go find a bite to eat."
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his neck. "Didn't we just....eat?"
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Fucktards.
* `Kane rubs his neck. "Didn't we just....eat?"
<Ry`> 14"If you can call that food.."
* Arhn returns to her quarters in the meantime.
<Seraphna> "We consumed something representing nutrients... but that stuff never fills you up."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina assumes arhn needs nothing and goes back to her work.
* `Kane pats his full stomach, "Call me simple...but i'm full. Don't mind to sit with you all though."
<Arhn> NRP: Mainly because I couldn't think of anything else to say. *explodes*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his shuttle, taking off as the reporters arrive.
* Elayne is now known as Kaedin
<Ry`> NRP: *clears up the mess*
* `Kane gestures for Sera to lead the way.
* Kaedin floats out of the private chambers, gliding down the hall
* Seraphna picks out a place that seems to serve mainly deserts and takes a menu, finding a table to sit at
* `Kane doesn't take a menu, but has himself a seat as well.
<DeathStar> NRP: And we've passed our 2 hour mark, so bam, session over.
<DeathStar> Session Ends
Session Close: Fri Jan 06 21:59:40 2006
