<DeathStar> -RESUMATION-
<DeathStar> 6* The team, when we last left off, was battling Ridiariums in space. Dias, holding Cheryl in his Gear's hand, is heading back for the ship, while Tsivrixsh fighters home in on the others
<SPoC> 6Dias continues on his trajectory
* Marcus` shifts his gears thrusters, back peddling away from the fighters, but still ready to defend. He glances at the sensors so see when he'll be in the ships flak range, so he can break off and leave it up to Paladin and the ship.
* Chii was making an expedious retreat while figuring out more or less the basics of operating standard gear gunctions.
<DeathStar> 6* Unforunately, Paladin's ship is busy pounding on a Ridiarium ship with it's full guns
<DeathStar> 6* A Tsivrixsh ship launches missiles at Chii and Dias.
<DeathStar> *fighter
* Marcus` tchs and hits his comm. "Chii, Raquel. We're going to have to hold these fighters off. Dias, drop her into the ship and then get your ass back out here." He shifts his gear to fire at the missiles incoming for Dias.
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes his sensors and pulls Cheryl in close to his gear's chest. He begins to spiral.
<DeathStar> 6* A fighter moves in, firing at Marcus to stop him
<DeathStar> 6* The missile follows Dias on his spiral trip
* Marcus` pulls up his right arm, activating a shield while strafes off to the left, he adjust his aim to fire at the fighter.
<DeathStar> 6* The missile hits Chii's Gear.
* SPoC eyes his sensor again and jerks upwards.
<DeathStar> 6* The missile slows and jerks upward
<DeathStar> 6* The fighter spins out of Marcus' fire range
* SPoC jerks back again, going to loop.
<SPoC> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* A fighter begins to shoot at Chii's damaged Gear.
<DeathStar> 6* The missile slows more to do a loop.
* Marcus` pulls back away from his own fighter, adjusting to fire at Chii's attacker.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus hits the fighter attacking Chii, but the other fighter comes in and fires at Marcus while he's busy saving his other character's Gear.
* SPoC smirks and pull the loop again, trying to get in behind enough to fire at it
<DeathStar> 6* Dias, or SPoC?, manages to loop behind it
* SPoC is now known as Dias`
* Dias` fires his auto rounds at it.
<DeathStar> 6* The missile explodes
<DeathStar> 6* The fire hits Chii's Gear finally
* Dias` spins and readjusts heading back towards their ship
* Marcus` hisses when a few shots get past the shield, it causing him to break off his attack. He pulls up and shifts off for the fighter attacking him, firing at it.
<DeathStar> 6* The fighter jukes to the right
<DeathStar> 6* Chii's attacking fighter finally moves back in and fires some more
<DeathStar> 6* Dias arrives at the hanger finally
* Chii kicks the controls to get it to move somewhere other than forward.
* Dias` boosts into the hanger and lands, sliding sideways.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, a missile flies at Lilith's Gear
<DeathStar> 6* The fighter moves in behind Chii after she dodges, firing a missile
* Marcus` jerks the controls to make his gear fire in a horizontal spray. If the gear rises he would fire a stream of bullets up from the small autocannon on his shoulder.
<Marcus`> NRP: fighter*
* Dias` lowers his hand and sets Cheryl down
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps off.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus destroys the fighter
* Chii kicks the controls the other direction. Lilith brings the wing pieces together behind her to form a solid shield.
<DeathStar> 6* The missile follows Chii
* Dias` starts running back for the hanger exit and when, clear of Cheryl, hits the boosters.
* Marcus` breathes a sigh of relief and moves off to try and flank the fighter attacking Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* The missile impacts the wings, damaging them slightly, but not enough to immoblize them
<DeathStar> 6* The fighter swerves to the left, then the right
* Chii twitches slightly, eyeing the monitors, then turns within and forms a seal. 1"Doton.6" Manipulating debris and damaged sections into a cluster of spires out from the gear itself.
<DeathStar> 6* The missile gets closer to Chii's Gear.
* Marcus` attempts to get a decent pattern, firiing off to the right of the fighter's side, if it falls or the feint, then it would get caught in his fire to the left.
<DeathStar> 6* The fighter explodes.
* Dias` continues his flight towards the others.
<Marcus`> Holy fuckballs. *he breathes, he aims for the missile ahead but tisks* <Comm> Chii you need to get some distance or else I damage you when I blow up that missile.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias finally arrives back in the midst. Currently there's a fighter shooting at Lilith
* Dias` adjusts to try and line up a shot and fires his head-mount cannons.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel forms a ripple to stab at the fighter attacking their gear
<Marcus`> NRP: I'll*
<Chii> <Chii> Trying." 6Twists and leans over, adjusting the speed. 1"...Would help if I used the sims or something. I've been practicing hand to hand since Cheryl walked into my life. It doesn't work with levers and switches."
<DeathStar> 6* The figher is clubbed by the ripple stab, then shot by Dias. It dies.
<Chii> 6Lilith focuses on returning to the uh. Hangar.
<Marcus`> <Comm> Pull up into a loop. Now.
* Marcus` takes aim for the missile.
<Chii> How the fuck do I do that?!
* Dias` boosts by Lilth/Raquel, cockilly close. He heads towards Marcus now
<Marcus`> <Comm> Jerk the left lever from the middle forward, and shove the second right lever back!
* Chii eyes them, then does as told, shrieking as the craft responds.
<DeathStar> 6* The missile slows to loop
* Marcus` would fire, since he knows the missile has to slow.
<Dias`> <Comm> Marcus, the missiles suck at doing loops.
<DeathStar> 6* The missile explodes.
* Marcus` checks his scanners for more enemies.
<DeathStar> 6* Currently, their area of space is now empty of enemies. The rest of the space battle is further away
<Marcus`> <Comm> Yeah. Now level out those levers Chii and work it back towards the hanger. Everything looks clear.
* Dias` arcs around and heads back towards the hanger again.
<DeathStar> 6* Lilith arrives at the hanger
* Chii continues to wail, pausing when she gets further instructions. Eventually it evens out and wobbles in the right direction.
<Chii> 6Lilith sets Anubis down with a huff. 1"Now I must clean the wings again."
* Marcus` blasts out or the hanger, making sure to stay behind CHii at least, incase she needs help.
<DeathStar> 6* The rest of the Gears arrive in the hanger one by one. Though for Chii, people might want to move
<Ariel> Raquel> "At least we're not hurt..."
* Dias` moves his gear to it's spot and locks it in place.
<Chii> 6Lilith looks over her shoulder and nods, then tilts her head. 1"Hm..."
* Marcus` lands just short of the entrance, then shifts his gear over to it's spot, locking in.
<Chii> <Lilith> Lady Raquel, please form a ripple behind us to the front.
* Dias` leaps out of his cockpit and lands with a resounding thud.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii's landing begins!
* Marcus` shifts out of his cockpit, but doesn't jump down just yet, he watches Chii land.
<DeathStar> 6* And keeps going....
* Dias` watches with interest, knowing this'll be good
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the Gear sliding along the hanger floor
<Ariel> 6* Raquel forms the ripple as asked
* Chii goes to land as per normal-- that is, if she were not inside something mechanical, one foot on the floor to land 'softly.' It continues sliding since she's only throttled down, and she begins shrieking as she notices it not stopping. She would point out she's about to slam into Anubis, when instead she shifts to the other side and abrubtly halts against the hangar wall.
<Chii> 6Lilith exhales as if she had some doubt.
* Marcus` hits his comm. "Paladin, we retrieved Cheryl and took out a few stray fighters. Everyone is safely aboard, well, except for Theron's gear. Chii did a number to it."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Understood. Wait in the hanger for now.
<Marcus`> <Comm> Sure thing, sir. *he hops out of his gear, letting out a breath*
<Chii> <Lilith> Very good, Lady Raquel." 6She opens the cockpit and floats out.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the gear and moves over, being careful of sparks from it
* Dias` crosses his arms and he looks over at Marcus. 1"Eh..." 6He wiggles his hand
<DeathStar> 6* The sounds of the battle in space around them is heard, and sometimes their ship jerks from hits
<Marcus`> What!? I did good out there!
<Dias`> Ehhhh...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl climbs the Gear and grabs the cockpit, opening it to stare at chii
* Marcus` shrugs. "Whatever, man. I'm so proud of myself right now." He shifts to walk over to Theron's gear.
<Chii> 6Chii is eyeing the controls-- or whatever ones are left, twitching. 1"How the fuck do you ope-- er. Never mind."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... you're an idiot.
* Dias` moves over to catch up with. 1"Atleast you didn't crash into a wall.
<Marcus`> I know, right? *he smirks, shifting to peer at the two*
<Chii> What...!?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head
<Dias`> See this? 6He points. 1"I'm the one who literally risks everything to retrieve and bring her back. And I don't even get chided."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias. "You know how to fly a Gear."
<Marcus`> Dude. Theron is going to be pissed.
<Dias`> 6Dias stares blank faced, caught off guard. 1"Oh. Well I can't argue that."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, there's the sound of something loud approaching them - through the south wall. It sounds like smashing and metal being destroyed
<Chii> I'd have figured it out!
* Chii peers past Cheryl. 1"..Tte nandatou!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, turning around
* Dias` suddenly jerks towards the noise. 1"...What the hell?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What the fuck is a Nandatou?
* Marcus` arches a brow, jerking his comm up he turns around. "Uhh, Paladin, sir. What's going on?"
<Chii> Means 'what the hell.'
<Ariel> 6* Raquel directs the sensors in the direction of the sound.
* Chii squints and holds her ears, wincing at the noise.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a large Ridiarium smashes through the wall, covered in Dark One lines and tattoos
<Chii> 6Lilith peers at the new entry point. 1"..."
<Chii> Another one..!?
<Dias`> Ahh crap.
* Marcus` drops his mouth open. "OH hell, nevermind. We've got a special Dark One ridarium in the hanger." He lowers the comm, staring at it.
<DeathStar> 6* PAladin's voice is cut off by static before he can respond
<Dias`> Dude, let's call it a Darkdarium.
* Marcus` snorts, "Oh that's lame. What about a Darkadium?"
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ridiarium, or Darkdarium, grabs a nearby Gear, that looks like Em's Gear, and throws it at Marcus and dias
<Cassandra`> NRP: AFK
<Chii> 6Lilith eyes around, then locks onto Theron's gear. She holds out a hand and attracts the katana weapon, bringing her body around and hurtling it for the new enemy.
* Marcus` widens his eyes and shifts to dash to the right, diving away rom it.
<Dias`> <Dias> I like tha...Move. 6He turns and starts dashing away
<Marcus`> NRP: from*
<Chii> <Lilith> Raquel, be ready." 6She retreats back into Anubis.
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ridiarium moves to the side to avoid it
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl curses. "Mother fucker."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel stands ready, but she has no idea what Lilith is planning
<Chii> Can this thing still move!?
* Chii beats on the console.
<DeathStar> 6* The Gear smashes onto the hanger floor, sliding along toward Anubis now
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why the hell would you use that?
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark Ridiarium moves in toward Theron's Gear.
* Marcus` pushes himself up, then checkes it's height, using his own height as an estimate.
<Chii> 6Lilith closes the cockpit and then focuses on slowing the flying gear while flicking operations back on and moving Anubis to the side.
<Dias`> Yeah, why not use...I don't know. Your dragoon?
<DeathStar> 6* It appears to be about 15 feet.
<DeathStar> 6* Em's Gear misses all targets
* Marcus` turns and makes a dash for his gear.
<Chii> 'Cause it still has power!!-- c-can we?" 6She eyes Cheryl, squinting.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. If you don't want to do it, I can fight it myself.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes it approaching
<Dias`> You know, if you would've bonded with me. I would've fought with you.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
* Chii lashes out for Cheryl's arm. 1"The idea is so you don't!"
<Ariel> 6* Raquel opens a ripple, stabbing for the back of the Darkdarium's neck.
<Chii> Alone is the stupid thing!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii grabbing her arm, then looks up. The Darkdarium is almost upon them. Ripple stab appears to do no damage.
* Marcus` climbs up into his gear and begins bringing his systems back online.
* Dias` stands up and begins moving towards his gear now
<Chii> 6Lilith pauses on their slide and brings the blades handles together, forming the bow. 1"Raquel."
<Chii> C'mon, Cheryl!
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium smashes it's fist down at Theron's Gear.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, eyeing the fist coming in, and grabs Chii, opting to dodge and live for now
* Chii springs with her, letting go of her wrist.
<DeathStar> 6* The fist smashes the cockpit up
<Ariel> 6* Raquel hesitates. Work on capships, but not this thing. It only takes a moment to snap back to reality, and she aims the bow for the Darkdarium's eye.
<Cassandra`> NRP: Back
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kneels after falling off the Gear.
<Chii> 6Lilith brings out her hands, breaking apart the wings and forming a short set of rail rings before the bow.
<DeathStar> 6* It picks up Theron's Gear now
<Chii> 6Chii crouches beside her, frowning. 1"I'll always be here. Even if I don't know what the fuck I'm doing, I'll find a way to you."
<Dias`> ...What the hell is she doing? 6he begins climbing into his gear
* Marcus` grabs the controls once hie gear is fully ready and jerks his weapons up, he kneels and aims, he wants to avoid collateral damage, so he opts to wait and see what Raquel's efforts do.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the thing lifting the Gear. "Fuck."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii, then grabs her hand.
<Chii> C'mon, c'mon. I'm right here..
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay, lets focus.
* Marcus` aims for the left arm and begins firing single precise shots, switching his gear from full auto to semi.
<DeathStar> 6* The shots hit the Ridiarium's arm, doing little damage
<Ariel> 6* Raquel waits for the firing mechanism to be completed, then looses the arrow at the Darkdarium's face.
* Dias` quickly climbs up into his cockpit and closes it. He starts powering it up
* Chii nods quickly, the irises of her eyes narrowed to slivers within yellow.
<DeathStar> 6* It hurls Theron's gear at Marcus, but then gets an arrow to the face. It's sent flying backwards into the wall, and through it
<Ariel> Raquel> "...that was more effective."
* Marcus` jerks the controls, sending his side thrusters at max, jerking to the side, accidentally hitting the wall slightly before he can fully stop. He tisks.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii and Cheryl continue focusing.
<Chii> <Lilith> Lady Raquel's arrows are always more effective than conventional weapons. That is why I incorporated their use and applied my own ability as with the ships you shot.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a ship wall comes charging into the room through the hole, aimed at Anubis
<Marcus`> <Comm> Raquel watch out!
* Dias` boosts in front of it, ramming it's shoulder into it
<Ariel> Raquel> "...it... works really well!" *quickly fires a second arrow at the wall, hoping Lilith can form a better defense
<DeathStar> 6* RAquel sadly shoots Dias, who rammed it
<Chii> 6Lilith jerks the controls to move, giving the rings away into a hasty shield shape instead, forgetting about offense for a moment.
* Dias` sadly is probably pinned to said wall.
<DeathStar> 6* The wall is then rammed into the damaged Gear of Dias
<Chii> <Lilith> Too effective.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Chii form a Gear, that looks like a typical mech with a tail, and claws for hands, a whip coiled around the right arm, and guns on the left arm.
<Chii> That's... different.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts
<Ariel> Raquel> *twitches, drawing her third arrow, looking for the rock that threw a wall into Dias*
<DeathStar> 6* The wall then shifts backwards and rams into Dias again
<DeathStar> 6* If one studies the wall, it seems as big as a Darkdarium
* Dias` slams backwards from the wall.
* Marcus` peers at said wall. "Huh, I thought a wall moving was a little odd."
<DeathStar> 6* The wall moves in for another ram
<DeathStar> 6* However, since it is a wall, one can move to the side and see the Darkdarium behind it. It's only facing Dias and Raquel, after all
* Chii takes a deep breath, trying to ditch some of her irritation. 1"Fine. It's fine." 6She brings up a hand, clutching it, either the clawed hands outside, then grins. 1"It's just fine." 6She begins to move for the rather effective wall enemy.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel aims carefully... not wanting to hit Dias this time.
* Dias` hits his boosters and slams his feet down, pressing against the wall this time
<Chii> <Lilith> Be careful Lady Raquel.
<DeathStar> 6* The wall strains now
* Marcus` moves around to the right to see the Darkdarium. He aims and once he gets a lock, fires a missile for it's side.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl readies herself.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium moves the wall to block the missile. Though Dias is now free to hit it
<DeathStar> 6* The missile blows up the wall
* Dias` kicks off, still boosting and hurls a punch for the Ridariums face.
* Chii moves straight for the wall, then abrubtly moves to the left, circling left, strafe-firing on the Ridarium, pausing shots only when it entails others' safety.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkrdarium is hit, stumbling once
<DeathStar> 6* Then shot a few times
* Dias` continues moving in, throwing several punches for it's face
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium shifts so Dias is in front of Chii now.
<DeathStar> 6* But it is punched
* Chii stops firing and dashes in, leaping upward. 1"Go Cherry, whip's your reign."
* Marcus` would direct himself to aim from the side of the Darkdarium again, firing a full auto salvo for it.
* Dias` kneels slightly and throws an uppercut for it's jaw
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sets the whip free, preparing it to whip down at the Darkdarium
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium is uppercutted. It punches at Dias' chest
<DeathStar> 6* But then it's shot by MArcus, so it shifts so Dias is in front of Marcus
* Dias` stumbles back.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias' gear would have a dent in it
* Marcus` makes a face, attempting to get a clear shot again, realizing that he doesn't really like being the 'gun guy' of the current fight roster.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips down at the Darkdarium, smashing it's face with it, energy arcing through the whip.
* Dias` grabs the emblem on it's chest and rips it off, holding it like a blade
<Ariel> 6* Raquel fires the arrow now that no one is in arm's reach of the darkdarium
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium is hit and sent flying off again through another wall, making yet another hole
* Marcus` sighs. "Paladin's going to be so sad."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...maybe this isn't such a good idea."
<Chii> <Lilith> Perhaps you should fire toward the hangar exit.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the area begins to shake
<Dias`> <Comm> This can't be good.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium leaps forward, smashing the wall and ceiling, glowing black, that seems to destroy the metal upon contact.
<Chii> Tch. This sucks..
<Marcus`> <Comm> Uhhhh...I don't think we should let it touch us anymore.
<DeathStar> 6* It lands on the hanger floor, destroying part of it, and causing other areas of the hanger to shake unstablely.
* Dias` steps forward and swings his blade at the DarkDarium, aiming to cleave it in the chest
* Chii eyes the clawed hands of the gear, then sees if she can focus dark lines from them like her own fingertips.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium grabs the blade with it's hand, and it begins to be destroyed
* Dias` steps back, trying to rip it out of the DarkDarium's grip.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts to give Chii the energy she'll need to channel through her. Dark lines form
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium spins, holding on, and attempts to throw Dias and it toward Anubis
<Chii> Interesting.
<Chii> 6Lilith begins moving Anubis.
* Dias` goes flying towards Anubis
* Marcus` attempts to shift to the side for a clear shot, getting a missile lock, once Dias is flung, he fires.
* Chii leans forward and dashes for the Darkdarium while Dias starts flying.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium leaps up, landing on the rocket and causing it to explode, damaging the floor
* Chii eyes the missile and sidestrafes the enemy while the missile is airborne.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...what should we do, Lilith...?"
* Chii springs for it after the explosion's gone off.
<Chii> <Lilith> Protect the ship.
* Marcus` stares. "What the fuck was that!?" He groans at how ridiculous that looked.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium fires a beam at Chii. If it misses, it'll go through the ceiling
<Dias`> <Comm> Portal the beam back at it
<Marcus`> <Comm> Oh shit, good idea. Do that, Raquel.
* Chii holds up one hand and slashes at it, drawing her lines into, bring the other hand up as if grasping for its throat.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel opens a ripple to do that, but is hesitant, "...that might not work!"
<DeathStar> 6* A ripple appears in front of Chii
<Marcus`> <Comm> It's better than nothing!
<DeathStar> 6* The beam enters and is redirected, smashing the Ridiarium
* Chii stares and stops. 1"That's a bad thing, right?" 6Ducks under it and moves sideways, then leaps to uppercut her claws into it after the beam strikes.
* Dias` slides along the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium is hit by the uppercut. Some damage is put on the Gear despite the glowing lines of death
<Chii> <Lilith> Hm. It is not like dark matter.
<DeathStar> 6* However, Chii does damage it
* Chii ducks back like it was a feint attack, moving from foot to foot, bringing her hands up. 1"Huh, your whip might have more luck. I doubt the gun's going to do shit, but at least the claws can."
* Marcus` checks his weapons and energy reserves. He looks up at the DD and aims another missile, waiting for a lock, and for Chii to get swatted away.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates the whip, smashing it into the Darkdarium
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium stumbles again. It begins to form a dark matter ball in it's hands
<Chii> If you can manage it, pull him toward us and I'll second strike.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl spins, wrapping her whip around the arms of the Ridiarium, jerking it toward them
* Marcus` widens his eyes. "We need to get that thing outside the hanger!"
* Dias` boosts his gear and move sto head behind the Ridarium.
* Chii focuses on drawing the energy out of the whip as it loses tension. 1"Yeah, Marcus." She redirects it into the other clawed hand and spins, focusing a back-handed fist into it as it approaches, hitting it toward the exit.
<Chii> Set, spike it, Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii hits it, but it jerks it's hand of dark matter into the chest of the Gear before it goes
<DeathStar> 6* The Dark matter begins to tear apart the chest plates
* Dias` spins around and cracks the back of the DarkDarium with his blade.
<Chii> Gh! Quickly, preferably... son of a ..." 6Tries to retreat in the meantime.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls in pain
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium is hit again, moving along toward the exit
<DeathStar> 6* The Gear shifts away from the dark matter attack, and it fades away
<Dias`> <Comm> Raquel now. ARROW IT OUT
* Chii retreats more. 1"Raquel."
* Marcus` locks a missile for it, firing it so that the missile will strike the DD once it reaches outside into space.
<Chii> 6Lilith lines up Anubis and forms the rings again.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium isn't going out yet
* Marcus` doesn't fire yet then.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium begins to recover
* Marcus` begins to fire a full auto stream from his rifle to slow down recovery.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel takes careful aim, before letting go the arrow
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium shrugs off the shots, but then is hit by the arrow, and is sent hurtling out into space toward the planet
* Marcus` fires the missile now, crossing his fingers.
<Chii> Hrmph. Maybe there is something to team efforts larger than two.
<DeathStar> 6* The missile hits it again, blowing it further away
* Marcus` sighs. "Well so much for blowing it to pieces." He frowns.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds her damaged chest plate.
* Chii brings up the gear hand over the chest, pausing as Cheryl does the same.
* Marcus` breathes. "Everyone aright?"
<Chii> <Lilith> Affirmative.
<Dias`> <Comm> Sure. 6He opens his gears hatcn and stands up. 1"What's next?"
<Chii> Make sure nothing else is onboard. This is ridiculous. Anyone have better scanners? A report from Paladin?
* Marcus` coughs. "We should probably get a crew in here to try and repair this mess."
<DeathStar> 6* Pope walks in and eyes his hanger. "NOOOOOO!"
<Chii> 6Lilith eyes Pope, then has Anubis bow apologetically.
* Dias` quickly points at the DRagoon. 1"It was totally Chii.
<Chii> Oh fuck you.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope falls to his knees
<DeathStar> <Pope> BLOODY HELL!
* Chii inches sideways, away from Pope.
<Marcus`> If it counts for anything, we just saved the ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, the damaged Cassandra, who was in the corner, finally comes back online
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl remains quiet. Even in thought form
<DeathStar> 6* She breaks the fusion bond finally, landing in a kneeling position, in her tactical suit
* Marcus` has his gear kneel and opens the cockpit, sitting up to peer out at everyone else. "I'll uhh. Go report to Paladin." He hops out of the gear.
<Cassandra`> ...I feel like I just wrestled a Ridarium...oh wait...I did...
* Dias` looks over at Cheryl. 1"Hey, you're clothed."
* Chii peers over at Cheryl as she lands. She's not.
* Marcus` steps out of the hanger and moves for the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes several deep breaths. "Yeah."
<Dias`> Cool. 6He drops down from his gear.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope pounds his fist into the ground. "YOU CRAZY BASTARDS. YOU RUINED IT. YOU RUINED IT ALL"
* Chii blinks as she snatches her weapons out of the air one by one.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl zips up her tactical suit, to hide her damaged chest
<DeathStar> 6* And then eyes Chii. Oddly.
* Chii holds a mound of weapons and eyes Cheryl back. 1"What?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
* Dias` glances back at his gear, studying his gear briefly
<DeathStar> 6* She shakes her head.
* Chii furious jerks one finger at Cheryl, stopping as she almost drops her stuff. 1"What!?"
<Ariel> Raquel> "...we could have let it destroy the whole ship instead?"
<DeathStar> 6 *Cheryl walks off instead
<DeathStar> <Pope> Bloody female bit.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Planetside
* Dias` is now known as SPoC
<DeathStar> 6* The group team, who was attempting to get the shuttle prepared to scan for slugs, is witnessed to the sight: Tsivrixsh dropships coming in
<Sally`Wolf> "Well, that's bad."
<DeathStar> 6* The port area begins to clear out of people, running and screaming
<Marcus`> * Theron readies his katana. "Indeed."
<SPoC> Yes it is.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes it, with McKay staring at them.
<DeathStar> <McKay> What are we going to do?!
<Sally`Wolf> "I think the mission parameters just slightly changed."
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> ...what do we do?
<Chii> 6Dawn frowns slightly, looking to Katrina. They're just a handful.
* Cassandra` is now known as Myria
<Marcus`> <Theron> I suggest fighting. *he glances at SPoC since she is lead*
* Sally`Wolf pulls out a large looking rifle and begins to power it up. "We either defend or retreat... can we contact the general?"
<SPoC> Fighting would be pointless at this point. We will be overwhelmed.
<Sally`Wolf> "So we get out of here."
<Chii> 6Having been aiming, Dawn peers through a scope, then squints one eye shot and fires a shot long-range for one of the Tsivrixsh exiting their dropship.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh exiting the drop ship begin to scatter to take up positions. However, the drop ships still in the sky, fire down at the shuttle
* SPoC looks over at Dawn. 1"I did not give you permission to fire.
<Marcus`> * Theron makes a face and shifts to move away from the shuttle, incase it explodes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Uh. We need to get out of the shuttle
<Sally`Wolf> "Fuck me."
<DeathStar> 6* She moves out
* SPoC quickly moves out
* Sally`Wolf moves out.
<DeathStar> 6* McKay panics. "What?!" 6* He rushes out
<Chii> 6Dawn was never in it, since he stationed to fire.
* Myria scrambles after the others!
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle is hit and explodes
<Sally`Wolf> "W-Was anyone still in there?"
* SPoC slides, her hands covering her head. 1"Hmm. We have offically lost our best means of escape and method of finding anymore brain slugs.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina ducks low to avoid metal flying
<Chii> 6Dawn holds up a hand, three fingers toward the floor. Like an "M."
<DeathStar> 6* Tsivrixsh begin to head for their position
<Myria> Ummm...I think the brain slugs kind of are secondary now...what with the invasion and all.
<Sally`Wolf> "M?"
<SPoC> We must find a place to hide for now. 6She looks at Dawn. 1"If you fire another shot without my permission, I will shoot you myself."
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts himself slightly. "They will be upon in moments." He shifts up his rifle and sets it to full auto.
<Marcus`> NRP: upon us*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands up
<Sally`Wolf> "Colony right? It should have shelters or some kind of emergency evac system."
* SPoC quickly looks around, looking for the safest route of escape from this area
<DeathStar> <McKay> Uh. No, not really.
<Chii> 6Dawn eyes SPoC oddly, then turns to touch Katrina. 1<We need to evacuate either way. Highly doubtful they would have instantly triangulated a position from a sniper shot within seconds. I'm sure all means of escape, such as ships like ours, are instant targets of a siege.>
<Marcus`> <Theron> This appeared to be their only means of evacuation.
<DeathStar> 6* They'll have to move in through the Tsivrixsh, since they're at a port, with their shuttle gone.
<Sally`Wolf> "What? Lemme guess, never thought of safety precautions?"
<DeathStar> <McKay> They're blowing up all the shuttles!
<Sally`Wolf> "Then we need to get one quick don't we."
<Myria> Well...if we run out of shuttles...what about stealing one of those? *points at a Tsiv dropship*
<DeathStar> <McKay> Fine. Go get one.
<Marcus`> * Theron glances at SPoC. Waiting for his orders.
<SPoC> They will target the ones that are powering up. 6She glances for any fire escapes.
<Chii> <Dawn> <Waterways beneath the streets, perhaps? Better than the high road.>
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Dawn suggestions waterways.
<SPoC> Sewers. 6She tilts her head slightly. 1"Agreed."
<Sally`Wolf> "In other words, sewers."
<Myria> Well, it always works!
* Sally`Wolf blinks a little and looks at SPoC.
<Marcus`> * Theron glances for the closest entrance to the sewers.
<Chii> 6Dawn frowns. Was hoping for aquaducts. Sewers are smelly.
* SPoC looks over at McKay. 1"Is there a nearby sewer system?
<DeathStar> <McKay> Uh. Yeah. Further into the city area. But we're at the port. I don't think there's sewers here.
<DeathStar> 6* McKay peers around
<Sally`Wolf> "Then we need to go into the city don't we?"
<SPoC> Is there any underground tunnels from here? Service tunnels?
<DeathStar> <McKay> How should I know?!
<Chii> <Dawn> <We're in a port. There must be reservoirs of some sort to help drain the foundations or all buildings around here would crumble their bases with the weight. Look near points of low grade.>
<Chii> 6Dawn moves to do so, eying the ground for any gradient.
* Sally`Wolf grumbles and keeps a lookout for any enemies getting close.
<DeathStar> 6* As Dawn looks around, a shot flies past his head
* SPoC raises her rifle, kneeling.
<DeathStar> 6* McKay herks and moves behind Theron. He's biggest
* Chii pauses, then shifts his eyes toward its sound.
<Chii> NRP: Dawn
<DeathStar> 6* A unit of Tsivrixsh can be seen further ahead, near one of the port buildings' sides. They are taking aim.
<Myria> We need to move...now.
* Sally`Wolf pulls up her rifle and starts shooting liberally.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets her energy sword ready, peering about for the gradiants.
* Marcus` peers at McKay and then glances at SPoC. "Smoke and heat goggles?"
* Marcus` is now known as Theron
<DeathStar> 6* They fire back.
* SPoC opens fires now.
<Chii> 6Dawn frowns, quickly throwing a charge before him, tossing an energy knife into it, blowing up the ground a ways in front of him as cover debris.
* Sally`Wolf continues to fire while moving to cover.
<Chii> 6Dawn then begins moving for the direction of the water.
* Theron frowns. "Apparently not." He attempts to get some covers.
<DeathStar> 6* A shot flies out and hits SPoC's arm
<DeathStar> 6* The port area has some crates for cover, and the mangled remains of their shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, the Tsiv have the buildings
* SPoC jerks as the shot goes through her arm. She scowls and moves behind a crate.
* Myria jumps into a ditch for cover.
* Sally`Wolf positions herself behind a crate and tosses a grenade down the street at them.
<Chii> 6Dawn circles using the shuttle debris as cover, since its hull is stronger than crates. Low, he moves for the water edge, peering around for reservoirs
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves behind the shuttle herself.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh kick the grenade back
* Sally`Wolf curses, grabs SPoC, and dives away.
<DeathStar> 6* Five Tsivrixsh charge forward
* SPoC doesn't remember being near Sally but is pulled away.
* Sally`Wolf was among the crates. So huh?
<DeathStar> 6* The grenade blows up
* Theron glances at McKay, since they are both hiding behind the shuttle remains. "Do you know how to defend yourself?"
<DeathStar> <McKay> I'm a scientist, man!
<Kulix> *One of the remaining three Tsiv strikes at the back of one his fellow's heads with the butt of his blaster
<DeathStar> 6* DAwn doesn't see any noticeable resorvoirs nearby
<Chii> 6Dawn sighs as he can't seem to find what they're looking for and turns, leaning on the shuttle with his rifle. He scopes for a Tsivrixsh more decorated than those charging.
* Myria scrambles out of the ditch and then ducks behind the shuttle debris cause Theron is her security blanket.
* Sally`Wolf pulls her rifle back up and starts firing at the charging Tsivs.
* SPoC gets up, and fires suppression fire at the charging Tsiv. She moves for the shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh is hit by his own teammate and falls forward
* Sally`Wolf arches a brow. "What the fuck?"
<Kulix> *He tosses A grenade high into the air, descending on the charging group of tsivs as he whips around, firing a few shots into the remaining Tsiv's chest
* Theron shifts to peer out at the Tsiv attacking the other tsivs.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh slow down to avoid shots, and then are blown up
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining Tsivrixsh is shot and stumbles, shouting in Tsivrixsh.
<Chii> 6Dawn takes a shot for his head.
<DeathStar> 6* And then loses his brains
* SPoC leans over the remains, eyeing it all.
<Kulix> *the Xvash comes off of the belt as he swings upwardly towards the officer's chin
<DeathStar> 6* And then his jaw
<Kulix> (*or not)
<Theron> NRP: NRP NRP!
<Chii> 6Dawn returns to scoping the field for officers.
* Sally`Wolf lowers her rifle slowly, standing up. "What the hell?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes the Tsivrixsh who suddenly can't tell his allies apart
<Kulix> *The tsiv spits, turning to eye the remaining group of humans staring him down
* Theron isn't staring, he's aiming his rifle.
* SPoC stands up, keeping her gun trained on the remaining tsiv, blood draining down from her arm wound.
<DeathStar> <McKay> Say, is that Tsivrixsh like nuts?
<Chii> 6Dawn lowers his, much further away than Theron, staring the tsivrixsh down through a scope.
* Sally`Wolf has her rifle ready, but aimed downward. "You a friend or crazyperson?"
<Theron> I would appear so.
<Theron> NRP: It*
<Kulix> *He lowers his blaster " Friend. Let us truce. " he calls from across the battlefeild
<SPoC> Tsiv do not call humans friends.
<Myria> Huuuuuh?
<Sally`Wolf> "Toss your weapon down, hands where I can see them and come closer."
* Theron glances at Sally speaking to the Tsiv, when SPoC is clearly team Leader. He just makes a small frown.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina keeps watching, getting an emotional reading from the Tsiv.
<Kulix> *He tosses the blaster to the side, staring at angela as he kneels, setting his xvash down gently
<DeathStar> NRP: That would be Sally Wolf.
<SPoC> Walk towards us.
<Kulix> *he rises, lifting his hands visably "Good enough for you earthlings? I've destroyed my own kin for your sake, what else must I do to show my good will? "
<Chii> 6Dawn keeps his rifle trained, emanating to Katrina. 1<...Trap?>
<Sally`Wolf> "Proof enough to me."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shrugs. "I don't know."
<SPoC> Katrina. What do you sense from him?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't sense deceit. But I can't say I can tell what he's feeling
<Theron> This could be a trap. *he shifts around the shuttle, still aiming*
<Sally`Wolf> "Why'd you do that?"
<Myria> *w* Theorn...what's going on? This just doesn't happen...
<Chii> <Dawn> <He can betray his own blood, betraying foreign would be easy.>
<SPoC> And why should we trust you?
* Theron nods once at Myria.
<Kulix> *He steps forward " My name us Xilrishr. And you should trust me because I'm a valuable ally. I know everything about Tsiv tactical patterns and weaponry. Listen. My empire is on a path to destruction.. If we keep warring like this neither the Tsiv nor the Humans will be left once the Dark ones have their way.."
<Chii> 6Dawn pauses, then rolls his eyes.
* SPoC stands up slowly, moving out from behind the shuttle
* Sally`Wolf lowers her rifle all the way now. "Right, I'm calling you Xil because T names give me a headache."
* Theron narrows his own. Not about to trust his 'words'.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina crosses her arms. McKay just stares
<Kulix> <Xilrishr> Wouldnt that be ironic if that was the only reason our races didnt see eye to eye..
<SPoC> We will use this moment to get to the sewers.
<Sally`Wolf> "It'd explain a lot. Now Xil, can you get us the hell off this junkheap?"
<Theron> I do not trust him. *he tells SPoC, thinking Sally is retarded for doing so*
* Sally`Wolf looks back at SPoC and nods. "Right... talk on the way."
<Chii> 6Dawn shrugs, then returns to looking for reservoir entry
* Sally`Wolf eyes Theron, the look is a tad impassive. "If it makes you feel better I'll give him my back to stab since you're afraid."
<DeathStar> 6* In the distance, the sounds of screams and blasters can be heard
<SPoC> We should hurry. 6She starts moving to leave the port.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods and begins to follow SPoC. McKay eyes Xil and scrambles.
* Theron narrows his eyes at Sally now. Oh yes, she's on his list. He lowers his rifle slightly and moves after Katrina.
* Sally`Wolf nods, motioning for the Tsiv to grab his gear. "I'll keep an eye on Xil."
<Myria> We...need to move on.
<Kulix> *Xil grins " Theres a Tsiv dropship a few sectors down, But its being watched. If we can subdue the guards, who are mindlessly milling about, then it's superior thrusters should render our escape easy.."
* SPoC pauses, eyeing his team.
<Myria> That's what I said earlier...
<Chii> 6Dawn lazily trails the back of the group.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina offers Myria a smile
* Sally`Wolf follows after SPoC, leading Xil. Truet o her word, she's presenting her back to him.
<DeathStar> 6* Dawn finally spots a grat!
<DeathStar> *Grate
* Theron snorts at Xil's boasting.
<SPoC> We will enter the sewers for now and make sense of this all.
<Chii> 6Dawn points to the grate,
* SPoC sadly can't hear pointing
<Chii> 6Dawn sadly doesn't talk.
<Myria> At least Miss Katrina rememebrs that I said to hijack and drop ship. *crosses her arms and pushes out her lower lip in a pout*
<Ariel> 6* Em tries to contact Katrina over the comm, hoping short range communications work better.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, then holds up her comm. "Yes?"
<Kulix> *Xil nods, kneeling to take his blaster and Xvash from the ground, standing he watches the humans before heading towards the grate, bending to grip it, he grunts as he hefts it up
<DeathStar> 6* McKay spots the grate. "I ofund it!"
<Ariel> Em> <comm> "Well, at least SOMEONE around here answers... what happened to you guys?"
<DeathStar> 6* He boasts
<Sally`Wolf> "Good work McKay."
* SPoC looks over at McKay. 1"Good job."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <comm> We're at the port. Where did you go?
<Chii> 6Dawn looks at McKay, then Sally. Then rolls his eyes.
* SPoC starts moving towards the grate.
<Chii> 6Dawn shakes his head, thinking the Tsivrixsh is more useful, at least. He looks in, then drops down.
<Ariel> Em> <comm> "...union troubles. They were pissed about my dues being late."
* Sally`Wolf heads over to the grate as well.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <Comm> Union...?
* Theron moves over towards the grate.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <Comm> Do you think you can find your way to the resouvior tunnels?
* SPoC kneels down beside the grate. Waiting for everyone to get in first.
<Kulix> *He glances over his shoulders " Hurry, all of you. They could be here any moment.. watch the roofs." he says awaiting the rest of them
<Ariel> Em> <Comm> "Yeah, those things are always so convient. Where are we headed?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <Comm> Hold on. 6* She looks as Xil, then SPoC. "What direction are we going?"
<Sally`Wolf> "Get in then." *She motions at Xil.
* Theron just stands there, obviously not going to put his back to the Tsiv.
<DeathStar> 6* McKay leaps in, panicked.
* SPoC eyes Xil. 1"Where was this drop ship located?
<Chii> 6Dawn motions from inside with a light
<Chii> 6Dawn then moves to scout.
<Myria> Shouldn't we go down now?
* Sally`Wolf turns back, sweeping her rifle, acting as cover while the rest get in. "Chat inside the sewer."
<Kulix> *Xil glances at SPoC, climbing down into the grate, setting it down slowly above his head silently as he descends, contorting his blue face " Sewers huh? Smells more like a waste depository... vile.. "
* Myria climbs down into the sewer.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stays surface side, lest the comm not get a signal down there
<SPoC> Tell her to meet us mid-way.
* Sally`Wolf is still on the surface, waiting on Kat now it seems.
<SPoC> We'll head towards her and regroup from there.
* Theron shifts to go into the sewers now.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <Comm> I think we're headed in a northward direction
<Chii> 6Dawn gestures for Xilrishr to join him in the lead.
<DeathStar> 6* McKay avoids the Tsiv.
* SPoC waits for Kat to go inside, her eyes sweeping.
<Ariel> Em> <Comm> "...right. I'll start heading in that general direction, and the plot should drop me into things at an opertune moment."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes her comm, then climbs down
<Kulix> *Xil nods, heading to the front of group, ignoring the skittishness of the smaller pink skinned creatures " Do we have a light? "
* SPoC moves in after Kat, pulling the grate back over
* Sally`Wolf heads down after Kat and before SPoC.
<Chii> 6Dawn stares at Xil like he's stupid, having been holding one and beckoning them with one
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina catches up to Dawn
* SPoC moves after Kat now.
<Chii> 6Dawn looks relieved at the sight of Katrina. Someone bright!
* Sally`Wolf moves to catch up to Xil, since she said she'd watch him.
* Theron walks along silently now.
<Kulix> <Xil> Lead the way. *He says, towering over dawn*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is a woman in her late twenties, early thirties, with red hair past her shoulders. McKay is a NPC male scientist.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at Dawn, though it might be hard to see lest he shine the line at her
* Theron just appears to be a large man, since his features don't suggest anything otherwise.
* SPoC keeps walking. She pulls out a clip and slips a new one in.
<Chii> 6Dawn stares at Xil like he's stupid, again, not knowing where the ship is. He'd help navigate the reservoir tunnels, but otherwise, the Tsiv knows where the Tsiv are.
* Sally`Wolf switches for a more close range variety gun, still a rifle as she moves along.
* Myria is obviously an Erusian Yloi as her blue skin and pointed ears give it all away.
<Chii> 6Dawn shakes his head and pulls up one datapad, mapping the place like he did the lab.
<SPoC> Explain to us why you did what you did.
<DeathStar> 6* They suddenly run into Em from a side tunnel
<Sally`Wolf> "Oh look, the new girl."
<Ariel> Em> *waves* "Yo. Convient timing."
<Sally`Wolf> "Amazingly. Now where do we go?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, jerking. "EVERYONE BACK UP NOW!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns and runs back the way they came
* Theron pauses and does so.
* SPoC turns and starts backing up
<DeathStar> 6* McKay freaks out and trips
* Sally`Wolf backs up.
* Theron then sees her run and lifts up McKay, moving quicker now.
* Sally`Wolf actualyl tries pulling the Tsiv back.
<Kulix> *Xil grunts to himself, frustrated by the rather unfriendly first impression hes getting from the human race " I ended there lives because they we're mindless drones living in fear. They were never alive in the first place. "
<Ariel> 6* Em pauses, then looks for what Kat saw
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the ceiling/ground above them comes smashing in like a missile impacted it, causing a massive shockwave and dust throw up, and a cave in
<Chii> 6Dawn rolls away from debris, coughing and choking
* Theron falls from the shockwave, putting an arm over his head.
* SPoC covers her face as it comes in.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts her back to it
<Sally`Wolf> "Oh bullshit."
<Ariel> 6* Em tries to take cover, cursing, and attempting to shield herself from debris.
* Sally`Wolf coughs from dust intake, groaning a bit.
<Kulix> *Xil leaps back as the ceiling comes crashing in, roaring in tsivrixsh as he becomes partially burried in the descending debris
<DeathStar> 6* As Em is buried, it suddenly shifts off of her, as something in it begins to move
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium before rises before them
* SPoC switches the safety off and her eyes go wide. 1"We must retreat quickly."
* Sally`Wolf reaches behind her back and pulls up her really big ass gun.
* Theron lifts himself up now. "Indeed." He backs up even more now.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes it. It's level of hate can be felt by all psionics
* Sally`Wolf uses her free hand to help Xil out of the rubble.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium snatches for Em, since she is before it
* SPoC fires a shot for it's head
<DeathStar> 6* The shot does nothing
* Sally`Wolf fires a shot at it's chest with her cannon.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium stumbles once
<Ariel> 6* Em tries to push the hand back with telekinesis and get to cover
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium loses Em
* Sally`Wolf pulls Xil back and recharges, she fires again into the same spot.
<Chii> 6Dawn clutches his head, dizzily moving toward Katrina for support
* Theron raises his rifle and kneels, being far enough back that he can provide cover for those retreating now.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium grabs debris and uses it as a shield
<Ariel> Em> "Dammit, why couldn't I have waited ONE scene!?"
<Kulix> *Xil grunts, hurling a sheet of denbris aside " What are you doing? your weapons won't penetrate its armor! Its useless! run!"
* Sally`Wolf growls and pulls the cannon down, letting it get a bigger charge. "Then move your ass."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina frowns, taking Dawn with one hand
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium fires a beam at Wolf
* Sally`Wolf curses and leaps back, running.
<Kulix> *Xil tackles wolf out of the way
* SPoC grabs her pistol and sets it to overcharge. She steps froward and hurls it along the ground towards the DarkDarium
* Sally`Wolf gets tackled to the ground.
<Kulix> <Xil> Get up! *he pulls her up, dashing
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium steps forward
<Sally`Wolf> "My freakin hero."
* Sally`Wolf gets pulled up and runs with him.
<Myria> Mr. Theron...what do we do?!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tries to hold the Ridiarium with her telekenetics, right over that gun
<Theron> Retreat. Miss Myria.
* SPoC lowers her rifle and pulls the trigger, shooting her pistol.
<Myria> To where though?
<Theron> Back the way we came.
<DeathStar> 6* The gun explodes, knocking the Darkdarium upward 1 foot
<DeathStar> 6* It comes back down
<Chii> 6Dawn shakes his head, then slaps a charge on the side of the tunnel, pulling Katrina along.
<Sally`Wolf> "Here's an idea for whoever's wondering still. RUN AWAY FROM THE GIANT FUCKING WALKIGN DEATH MACHINE."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares, some blood running down her nose. She's then pulled along.
* SPoC turns, moving after the others now.
<Ariel> Em> *telekinetically 'punches' it in the face, hoping to stun it some as she tries to get away*
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium begins to chase them, stomping and shaking the tunnel with each step
<DeathStar> 6* It roars at EM
<Chii> 6Dawn sets the charge off to collapse the tunnel on it once the group is away from it
* Sally`Wolf pulls the cannon over her shoulder, the aiming device in front of her as she runs.
* Myria runs!
* Theron knows that his shots won't slow it down, so he turns and begins to dash away in retreat.
<DeathStar> 6* McKay leaps on Theron's back and rides him away
<Ariel> 6* Em moves faster.
<DeathStar> 6* The charge goes off, causing the tunnel to fall on the Darkdarium.
<Sally`Wolf> "Keep moving!"
* Myria grumbles about not having Cass to ride cause the boobies make good hand holds.
<DeathStar> 6* It busts out of the debris, still chasing
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Is that thing unstoppable?
* Sally`Wolf finally lines up the shot, bracing herself momentarily she fires the charged cannon's blast at the Darkdarium.
<SPoC> It would appear so.
<DeathStar> 6* It's hit and stumbles back
<Chii> <Dawn> <No, but likely beyond human capability.>
* Theron tisks slightly, wishing he had more damaging weapons. "It would a-" He pauses and frowns slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium roars and charges again
<Sally`Wolf> "What? I like big fucking guns."
* Sally`Wolf keeps running, charging again.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You like everything big?
<Sally`Wolf> "Why do you think I sleep with a shapeshifter?"
<Kulix> *Xil stops suddenly, turning to face the oncoming ridarium. he reaches down to his waist, clicking a button as he removes his grenade belt, his second hand quickly removing the pins in each charge
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes her head.
* SPoC runs by Xil, not concerned with his safety
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium charges at Xil, ready to crush him
* Sally`Wolf turns and fires another charged shot at the Darkdarium.
<Kulix> *Xil dashes forward, jumping at the ridarium, he whips his belt forward attempting to wrap the belt around the base of its head as he kicks away against its chest
<DeathStar> 6* It suddenly grabs Xil's leg as he leaps away
<Kulix> <Xil> SHIT! *He swings the Xvash at it
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium holds Xil, even as he hits it uselessly.
<Kulix> NRP: *the wrist
* Sally`Wolf aims another shot and fires at it's leg.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium stumbles, dropping Xil
<Sally`Wolf> "RUN!"
<Myria> Keep running!
* Sally`Wolf gets back to running.
<Kulix> *Xil scrambles upward, dashing away before the oncomming explosion
<DeathStar> 6* The grenades go off, blowing up
<Theron> <Theron> If anyone thought that they may wish to stay. I would fear for their intellegence. *he notes*
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkdarium stumbles once, then falls on it's back
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stops, glancing at it
* SPoC stops, looking back.
<Kulix> <Xil> Dont stop running! WHat makes you think its done!?
<Sally`Wolf> "Don't stop, no telling if we really finished that fucker."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't sense anything from it anymore
<DeathStar> 6* The intense hate fades
* Sally`Wolf stops when Kat says that. "Nothing at all?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No.
<Sally`Wolf> "Alright then..."
<SPoC> Is it possible we knocked it out?
<Myria> So what do we do then? Try to go through another set of tunnels?
* Sally`Wolf stops and breathes hard, pulling the gun back on her back.
* Theron slows to a stop, glancing at Katrina. "Even still. The way ahead is now blocked."
<Sally`Wolf> "Then we find another way."
<Kulix> <Xil> We'll go around.. *He peers down the tunnel, looking for an alternative route
<DeathStar> 6* Side tunnels do exist.
* Sally`Wolf eyes Xil, wondering if she's somehow in sync with this guy.
<DeathStar> 6* McKay drops off Theron
<Theron> We do not know where those tunnels lead. They could take us somewhere that we do not wish to go.
<SPoC> Alternate routes? 6She looks at everyone
<Myria> But...the Tsiv are up there still, aren't they?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well. We can take a chance, or go surface side.
<Kulix> <Xil> Would you rather stand here and go nowhere while your predators circle at the borders? The Ridarium came, sure they know our location. Can you not use your contraption?" he asks, implying the data pads
<Sally`Wolf> "Got news for you, I think the Tsiv are everywhere, worrying about running into them is redundant."
* Theron glances at SPoC, waiting for her orders.
<SPoC> The less we run into, the better our odds of everyone surviving.
<DeathStar> <McKay> I look good odds. Yeah. Lets do good odds.
<Sally`Wolf> "Sitting in one place is waiting for them to come to us, moving we have the probability of being missed."
<SPoC> Than we will find an alternate route around the downed Ridarium
<Kulix> <Xil> And the more you wait the better odds of you have of getting everyone killed.
<Ariel> Em> "Worrying about running into them is SILLY, when we're TRYING to find them."
<Kulix> *He says this, walking through the tunnel in his search
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at SPoC, then follows
* Sally`Wolf shrugs and looks after Xil still.
* SPoC nods and starts down a side tunnel
* Theron follows along now.
* Sally`Wolf grabs Xil's arm and leads hi to follow SPoC as well.
<Kulix> NRP: I'd think Xil would have found the side tunnel and walked down it before first.
<DeathStar> 6* And so, they search the tunnels.
<DeathStar> 6* McKay sighs, walking along
* Theron makes a face, since it would appear he doesn't enjoy running away.
<Chii> 6Dawn brings his pad back up and studies it, running a predictive curve to imitate the existing mapped architecture so it can basically guess alternate routes.
* Myria scans with the datapad built into her suit.
<DeathStar> 6* Eventually, Dawn would find the correct tunnel to use
<Chii> 6Dawn gestures for the beginning of the route, then moves on, reaching up to retie his hair with another ribbon, a plain black one since his nice lace one is dirty. He pockets it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts, moving with Dawn
<Ariel> 6* Em lets the others worries about direction, and just follows trying to keep an eye out for danger
* SPoC turns, following
* Theron moves along, hoping they finally have found the right direction.
<DeathStar> 6* After a bit of a journey, they arrive at the area of the dropships.
<DeathStar> 6* Which would be above them, naturally.
<Kulix> * continues with them, eyeing the streets from the gutter drains as he scans for enemies
<DeathStar> 6* Indeed, Tsivrixsh are above them, guarding it
<Chii> 6Dawn pauses at the exit, marking each in his mind and backing up, looking to SPoC.
* SPoC moves to a grate and peers out it, taking in the amount of enemies
<DeathStar> 6* From the angle of sight, SPoC can see four.
* SPoC shifts her hand up, fingering 4.
* Sally`Wolf stands quietly, waiting for orders. She nods slightly yo SPoC.
* SPoC slides back. 1"We need a distraction."
* Theron nods once to SPoC, then glances at Dawn he speaks low. "Are there any other exits so that we may overwhelm them?"
<Kulix> <Xil> Dont get too cocky.. there are more awaiting us on the ship.. If there was a way to take these out stealthily.." he whispers
<Kulix> <Xil> A distraction? I could distract them.. wait here.. *he turns, heading down the tunnel towards a further grate
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches them all
* SPoC frowns sligthly. 1"He will get us killed."
* Sally`Wolf shakes her head.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe not. He seems...resourceful
<Chii> 6Dawn shakes his head to Theron, then raises his rifle, taking aim at one of the four.
<Kulix> *Xilrishr heads up to the surface out of the view of the guards. he then comes rounding the corner, his armor scuffed from the collapsing tunnel earlier " You four. Come quick, humans! "
* Sally`Wolf watches Dawn get ready to repeat a huge mistake twice in one day.
<Ariel> Em> "Here's hoping..."
<Chii> 6Dawn just waits.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh eye Xil now, barking something back in Tsiv. "We cannot leave our post!"
* Myria crosses her fingers, seeming really focus right now.
* SPoC takes aim through the grate, just waiting.
* Theron readies his rifle, wondering that if he has them distracted, couldn't they slip up and attack.
<Kulix> <Xilrishr> Oh shove it! We're DYING over here!
* Sally`Wolf calmly aims her rifle.
<Kulix> <Xilrishr> Get your ASSES over here! *He barks, heading towards the alley, firing a few mock blasts
<DeathStar> 6* They glance at each other, shrug, and follow
* Sally`Wolf looks to SPoC.
* SPoC grabs the grate and slides it to the side, slowly
<Kulix> *A descends Xvash descends on the first's face as he rounds the corner, Xil's blaster firing in rapid succession at the other 3 heads, knowing he's safely out of view of the ship's camera
<Chii> 6Dawn leaps and rolls out of the reservoir, keeping close to the curb and shadow.
<DeathStar> 6* The first one gets a face full of Xvash, going down. Two are more shot, but the third ducks back, getting his gun and returning fire at Xil's chest
* Sally`Wolf climbs out.
* SPoC climbs out herself and sweeps.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pulls herself up
<DeathStar> 6* McKay grabs Theron so he can get out
<Kulix> *Xil dashes forward, his armor soaking up the blast as the xvash comes down on his opponent's weapon bearing hands
* Theron glances at McKay and then lifts them both out.
<DeathStar> 6* The opponent jerksh is hand back out of range of being hit, and grabs his xvash, swinging at Xil's face
* Myria climbs on up.
* SPoC turns, moving towards the Tsiv Dropship now
<Ariel> 6* Em moves after SPoC, not wanting to get caught outside.
<DeathStar> 6* The dropship's ramp is lowered
<Kulix> *Xil ducks under the swing, firing a few shots at the Tsiv at close range as he holds the Xvash defensively now
* Theron moves to get soem cover, readying his rifle.
* SPoC raises her weapon towards the lowering ramp.
<DeathStar> 6* The armor takes the shots, and the Tsivrixsh snears, and swings his xvash for an uppercut at Xil's chin
* Sally`Wolf sighs and moves out for Xil and his new found buddy, creeping up behind.
<Chii> 6Dawn hangs back, gazing down the way Xilrishr left.
<Kulix> *Xilrishr batts the club to the side, deliver a kick at the Tsiv's torso, in an attempt to knock him down
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh is kicked, but doesn't fall.
<DeathStar> 6* Inside the compartment of the lowered ramp is an empty area, with a door that leads further into the ship
* SPoC moves upto the ramp, sweeping.
<Chii> 6Dawn flanks SPoC, raising his weapon and relying on normal sight at this range.
<Kulix> *Xil grunts, holding the Xvash's in lock. he headbuts
* Sally`Wolf draws a combat knife and tries to knife Xil's opponent in the back.
<DeathStar> 6* The knife doesn't break the armor, but the headbutt hits and he falls onto Sal
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves up'
* Theron advances forward slowly, aiming, and keeping SPoC covered.
* SPoC moves up the ramp now.
* Sally`Wolf groans. Pulling out a blaster and sticking it to the side of the Tsiv's head. "Little help?"
<Kulix> *Xil brings the xvash down overhead, attempting to peice the armor with the venomous spikes, seemingly unaware of Sally
* SPoC makes her way towards the cockpit?
<Sally`Wolf> "Xil!"
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh twitches, poisoned
<DeathStar> 6* SPoC would have to go through the door
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina follows after SPoC.
* Myria creeps up the ramp after Theron.
* Theron advances up the ramp now, coming up to Katrina and SPoC, he peers at the door.
* SPoC stops infront of the door and looks at Kat. 1"Anyone?
* Sally`Wolf grumbles and tries pushing teh Tsiv off herself. "You fucking things need to diet."
<Kulix> *Xil blinks, hearing Sal's voice as he embeds the spikes in the Tsiv's chest. " Did yours manage to get aboard?"
<Sally`Wolf> "Yes, now let's go... get this creep off me."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes.
<Chii> 6Dawn lowers his rifle, picks up the secondary datapad and looks for an entry pad, if not, just scans its integrity.
* SPoC aims her gun against the door. 1"Can you pinpoint?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's waiting for us. So I doubt we'll be able to shoot it
<Kulix> *Xil kicks the Tsiv to the side, nodding as he continues past Sally without thanking her, heading towards the ship
<Theron> Flash.
* SPoC nods and grabs a flash bang from her side. 1"Theron can you slide pull the door open partway?
* Sally`Wolf grumbles and heads after him.
* Theron slips up to the door, lowering his rifle, he gets ready and nods. "On your command." He whispers.
<Chii> 6Dawn backs off and lifts his rifle again, kneeling.
* SPoC pulls the pin, holding the release. She nods to Theron
* Theron shifts to open the door enouhg for the flash.
* SPoC rolls the flash bang inside.
<DeathStar> 6* It goes off, and cursing can be heard in Tsiv
<SPoC> Now. 6She raises her rifle to fire
* Theron nods once at the cursing and opens the door even more.
* SPoC takes aim and fires a shot for it's head
* Sally`Wolf gets aboard behind Xil, sweeping her gun back in case anyone's taken notice of them or reinforcements move in.
<DeathStar> 6* An xvash swings blindly into the gun, knocking it aside
<Chii> 6Dawn aims for the source of the swing and fires.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh is shot, but his armor holds.
* SPoC drops the rifle and pulls her combat knife out. She steps in and swings for the blade for the Tsiv's hand holding the Xvash
* Theron releases the door and slips his katana out, shifting to quickly go for a stab, aiming for the throat of the Tsiv.
<DeathStar> 6* The knife hits the hand, but what really does the trick is the stab to the throat.
<Kulix> *Xil moves through the ship familiarly, heading towards the battle
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh gurgles, falling backwards toward the cockpit controls
<Chii> 6Dawn stares for a brief second, a bit aghast that there's armor that can resist depleted uranium of that calibur from so close, then pulls the level to eject the shell, reload and aim for something else since Theron is taking care of the first.
* SPoC grabs the Tsiv as it falls and drops it onto the floor.
* Theron shifts to grab the Tsiv, and throw him out of the cockpit.
<DeathStar> 6* The rest of the cockpit is empty of Badds.
<Myria> Is that it? Can we leave this planet now?"
* Theron glances at SPoC, since they both seem to be in sync and nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps in, making a face at the blood
* SPoC looks to Theron and nods to him.
<Chii> 6Dawn lowers the gun and moves inside, examining the controls and readouts.
* SPoC moves over to the pilots seat and sits down, studying the controls for familiarity
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, if nothing else stops us, lets go.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Ship
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin sits on the bridge of his ship, monitoring the battle. The Tsivrixsh and Ridiarium ships are pulling ack
<Kulix> <Xilrishr> I see you have things undercontroll *he nods to spoc as he enters, assuming her to be their leader. He turns again, monitering the ship's panels for a moment
<Kulix> Nrp: doh
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down in the hanger, putting her back to the wall
* SPoC rotates the cuff of his shoulder
* Theron steps onto the bridge. "Sir."
* Chii has switched back to her kunoichi outfit within her satchels. 1"... So what was that all about? You kept yours..."
* SPoC is now known as Dias`
* Theron is now known as Marcus`
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I've kept my clothes before.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances over. "Jones."
<Marcus`> We manages to get the 'Darkdarium' off the ship. But the hanger is pretty messed up, and Theron and Em's gears were damaged by it as well.
<DeathStar> <Paladion> 'Darkdarium'?
<Marcus`> Uh yeah, Dias named it that.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Ah.
<Marcus`> It went for the planet, so if you can contact the ground team and let them know of the possible threat...
* Dias` glances over at the two. 1"You'd rather have her naked?"
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin gazes back at the battle as the ships form a line.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel rests quietly in her gear, not knowing when she'll get another chance to rest.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Communications are jammed with the planet.
* Chii leans over and narrows her eyes, inspecting Cheryl's suit. 1"...That isn't mine is it? I bet you stole mine because yours poofs."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not as small as you, thank you
<Marcus`> Ah. Well that's the situation. Are we winning?
<Dias`> Oh you're boobs aren't nearly as big as hers.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> No. Not really. But they retreated back
* Chii pauses, then scowls and crosses her arms. 1"Screw you both. That's just cruel."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's a fact.
<Chii> Hrmph.
* Marcus` nods once. "We've took some pretty major damage. If there's any engineering crew left alive, they should probably go to the hanger to patch it up.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> They're busy dealing with some damage in other areas, but the hanger will be on the top of the list
<Dias`> <Dias> It's true. You could never fit her curves.
<Chii> Oh yes I could.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her. "Psch."
<Dias`> Not in a million years.
* Chii leans over, shifting her body against Cheryl's. 1"I could fit her curves to mine. Mmm.."
<Dias`> Gross.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks.
* Marcus` nods again. "Uh. Any furthur orders?"
<Dias`> You're worse than a wet chihuaua.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Not until I've accessed this situation. 6* He pauses as a hyperspace portal opens and giant, giant, giant boulder emerges.
<DeathStar> 6* It could put, literally, one of their ships to shame.
* Chii gives Dias the finger, eyeing Cheryl.
* Marcus` sees that and widens his eyes. "I think that's the big bad thing we're here for."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin leans forward, eyeing it. ".... Yes. It would appear so."
<Dias`> Hey Cheryl...You ever try a spray bottle filled with water? It works on cats.
<Chii> I'm a fox.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts so there's some space between her and Chii
<Dias`> Now you're making it sound like beastiality.
* Marcus` rubs the side of his face slowly. "So...what's the plan? Throw everything we have at it?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> With those ships guarding the boulder, our ships won't be able to get near it.
* Marcus` makes a face, studying the battlefield closely. "What about our gears. It's risky, but what else do we have, really?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> It would be hell to get near it.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> You'd have those battle ships and their fighters
* Dias` eyes Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin shifts, listening to a communication in his ear, having placed one there due to the alarms going off.
<Marcus`> Yeah, but you could hopefully provide support against the ships at least. *he frowns* It's a shame we don't have one of the angel things.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She doesn't comment on the water or the fox comments
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Well, the order has been given. We're going to move our fleet against their's.
<Chii> 6Chii looks a bit hurt at Cheryl' shifting, then gets up, brushing off her ninja clothing. She goes to leave the hangar.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the floor, not stopping her if she decides to leae
<Marcus`> I'll have everyone get their gears ready. *he says with a nod, shifting to leave*
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Very wlel
* Dias` puts his hands behind the back of his head and moves over towards Cheryl. 1"How's your chest?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. 6* She lies smoothly.
* Marcus` pauses and glances over his shoulder at Paladin. "So there really is no help coming from any of the PAX races?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Nothing will arrive in time. This is our battle
<Dias`> Right. Getting a Dark Matter ball to the chest always comes out smoothly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Gear form. Doesn't translate to human form
<Dias`> Prove it.
* Marcus` nods. "Let's give it our all, then." He steps out to go back to the hanger.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> As if I'd show you my breasts.
<Dias`> Damn. 6He snaps his finger. 1"Almost got to see them.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
* Chii heads for their 'quarters.'
* Marcus` steps into the hanger with magic leet speed. "Alright everyone, the big daddy is here. We need to get ready."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Marcus, and rises.
* Dias` smirks and goes to say something thhen looks at Marcus.
<Dias`> Seriously?
<Marcus`> Chii. Don't run off. *he calls out to her in the hall, then glances at Dias* Yeah. That thing is larger than even this ship, and we'll have to deal with their other ships and fighters as well as it. This isn't going to be easy."
<Dias`> Really? Like astronmically hard? 6He leans towards him with interest
* Chii stops and stares back at Marcus. 1"..."
<Marcus`> Some may even say impossible. *he says with a nod*
<Dias`> Excellent.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope finishes slapping paste to Cassandra's wounds
<DeathStar> <Pope> I hope you all suffer like the hanger
* Marcus` gets a slight smirk and moves over to get into his gear, getting it prepped and ready.
<Dias`> 6Dias claps his hands together with glee. 1"Now you boys get to see how great I really am."
<Dias`> And woman. 6He motions to Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias once, then brushes her bangs back
<Chii> Woman? So I'm a boy?
* Chii twitches a little in the hangar entry.
<Dias`> You're a fox. 6He looks at Cheryl. His black eyes prominent
<Marcus`> <Comm> I think he's confused, since i'm the only other guy here.
<Chii> I hate you.
<Dias`> Those are negative words. Didn't Kat tell you not to be so negative.
<Chii> I'm not so negative. I just said one thing.
* Chii eyes Cheryl, musing to herself over some thoughts.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii back.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
<Chii> I'd be more useful if I wasn't so ticked, right?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Whatever floats your boat
<Chii> The focusing would be clearer.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs.
<DeathStar> 6* She moves to stand near the hanger shield, eyeing space
<Chii> You want to go, don't you?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I am going.
* Marcus` sits there in his shuttle, then glances around at everyone, assuming they are as ready as they'll ever be. He hits his comm. "Paladin, we're all prepped and ready. Waiting for your command." He realizes comm didn't work last time, but hopes that they will this time.
* Dias` turns to look at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin responds on the comm. "Understood. I'll give you the launch command soon."
<Dias`> Nice. I need someone who can fly a damned bit behind me.
<Marcus`> <Comm> Aye aye. *he glances at the small group compared to who is normally here and frowns slightly, but then moves his face back to neutral, hiding any doubt.*
* Chii takes a deep breath, then exhales slowly. 1"Then we're going."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms, waiting apparantly for the launch command
<Dias`> Try to keep up Cheryl. 6He smirks
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hrmph.
* Dias` turns, moving towards his gear
* Marcus` leans forward. "Well. Let's all cross our fingers. Right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Pope gives Marcus the bird
* Marcus` snorts. "I'll miss you too."
<DeathStar> 6* He pauses, realizing he put paste over Cassandra's mouth and that is why she isn't talking
<DeathStar> 6* Pope whistles and moves off
* Dias` climbs up into his gear and stands in his pilots seat. 1"And Marcus...Try not to get hit by...Things."
* Chii moves up beside Cheryl-- an absurdly calm look over her face, she reaches back and takes up her ribbon, tying her hair up which has gotten a bit past shoulder length now having not been cut since Cheryl knifed it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii, raising a brow.
* Marcus` laughs. "Don't worry Dias. It's not yet my time to die."
<DeathStar> -TO BE CONTINUED-
