<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-589.3.9
<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* X sits in her cell, having awakened earlier that day. Paladin stares at her from his monitor in his office.
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus`
* SPoC shoots in the firing range, target practicing.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl works out in the training room, doing pushups.
* Jackieness is now known as Myria
* Sally`Wolf is in the training room, presently facing off against her foe, the punching bag.
<DeathStar> NRP: Er, Stardate 3.8
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes his right hand with curiosity, standing in the training room.
<Kit> 6Chii rests in the neglected recreational room, hiding away from others.
<Marcus`> * Theron lurks in the mess hall, eating.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans over Chii's shoulder. "Why are you in here?"
<Kit> 6Chii shrieks and topples out of her chair, growling as she smacks against the floor.
<SPoC> <Dias> Hey Cheryl. I want to try something.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What? 6* She continues.
* Myria hops into the chair beside Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks in concern, kneeling down. "Are you okay?"
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts and nods to Myria. "Greetings."
* Sally`Wolf stops punching the bag a moment to look over at Dias and Cheryl.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well apparently I can will my body to do things, superhero things. So I want you to punch me as hard as you can in the face.
<Myria> Hi!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Pass.
<SPoC> 6Dias blinks, confused. 1"W-Why not?"
<Marcus`> <Theron> You are well?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't feel like hitting you in the face, injuring you, and getting zapped.
<SPoC> <Dias> Getting zapped? 6He stares at her now.
<Marcus`> Plus it's not really fun to beat up a retard. *he steps into the training room*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Forget it.
<SPoC> <Dias> Fine...6He looks at Marcus now, making a face. 1"You can hit. You do it."
<Myria> Mmmm-hmmm!
<Marcus`> Sweet! *he jerks forward to punch Dias in the face*
<Kulix> *The tall blue skinned Tsiv makes his way to over to Theron and Myria in the mess hall " Having a private conversation, or may I join in? "
<SPoC> 6Dias steps back. 1"I'M NOT READY!"
* Sally`Wolf watches with a grin on her face.
* Marcus` pauses. "Oh. Sorry."
<SPoC> <Dias> It's cool. 6He closes his eyes, concentraton on his face.
<Marcus`> * Theron smiles at her lightly, then pauses and glances up at Xril, his grin instantly vanishing.
<Kit> 6Chii topples over and sits up rightly. 1"....Peachy. What was the first question...?" 6Twitch.
<SPoC> <Dias> Ok. I'm ready. 6He opens his eyes. 1"Do it."
<Marcus`> <Theron> I believe that it is a free country. Or so they have claimed.
* Marcus` jerks forward to punch him again, with all his might.
<SPoC> 6Dias is hit, with all his might and his head snaps back causing him to howl out in pain and swear. 1"FUCK!"
* Marcus` tilts his head. "Did it work?"
<SPoC> 6Dias grabs his face in pain. 1"Yes, the pain in my face tells me it worked."
<Sally`Wolf> "...What worked?"
<Marcus`> Can I do it again? *he arches a brow, eager*
<Kulix> *Xrilreshir nods, sitting at the table " Xrilreshir. I dont beleive we've met. "
<Sally`Wolf> "He got hit in the face..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I asked why were you here.
<SPoC> <Dias> No, no. The pain tells me to try again later. 6He pinches the bridge of his nose as he blinks several times.
* Marcus` pauses and starts laughing. "Hilarious."
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts slightly. "I am Theron."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head at the two
* Sally`Wolf shakes her head and sighs.
* SPoC pulls her clip out and slides a new one in. She recites her scope and starts firing again.
<Kulix> *Xril glances at Myria " And you? "
<Kit> <Chii> Because the others are elsewhere. What's up?
<SPoC> 6Dias gives several forced laughs then steps over, kicking Marcus in the shin
<Kulix> <Xril> Wait a moment.. your the erusian I grabbed during our fight with the Ridarium.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Why are you here, then? Why not with Cheryl?
* Marcus` winces and jumps. "Motherf-That hurt!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a seat.
<SPoC> <Dias> And now you know pains not funny.
<Sally`Wolf> "We going to make this an offical spar or do you two lovers need to get a room?"
<Kulix> <Xrilreshir> What are your functions on this team?
* Marcus` slowly glances up at Sally and eyes her. "Man, she's a riot."
<Myria> Myris.
<Myria> Myria
<SPoC> <Dias> Who is? 6He looks at Marcus
<Myria> Huh? Functions?
* Marcus` jerks his hand over toward Sally.
<Kit> 6Chii recoils at mention of Cheryl and crawls back against the chair, holding her knees.
<Kulix> <Xril> You have a designated job, dont you?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Have you been avoiding her since you two fought in the training room?
<Marcus`> <Theron> Titles and such are not so easily given about on this team.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rises, stretching.
* Sally`Wolf crosses her arms and frowns at them.
<SPoC> 6Dias looks over at Sally now. 1"Oh. Her. Who cares about her?"
<Kit> <Chii> Uh, you haven't heard yet?
<Sally`Wolf> "Yep, figured it out, you two are doing it, aren't you?"
<Kulix> <Xril> Then what skills do you posess?
<Marcus`> I sure don't. Maybe if she didn't try to act so tough all the time. *he gives a shrug*
<Myria> I am team genius girl!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Heard what?
<SPoC> <Dias> That's acting tough?
<Kit> <Chii> Because of me she was possessed and hurt again.
<Marcus`> <Theron> I am simply a soldier. *he notes, his tone flat, but then again that is how he is, course Xril may not know that*
<Sally`Wolf> "I act?"
<Marcus`> Poorly.
<Kulix> *Xril nods, at Theron's comment, understanding all too well. "Genius. And what intelectual quandries do you persue?"
<Sally`Wolf> "Meh. Whatever."
<SPoC> <Dias> I mean there's definetly three tough people here.
* Marcus` counts around and notices Cheryl and then sighs. "You're leaving me out again, aren't you?"
<SPoC> 6Dias pauses and begins counting fingers
<SPoC> <Dias> Well you're not as strong as me so I never count you anyways.
<Myria> Well...I'm working on ways to break down Dark One cell structures.
* Sally`Wolf chuckles and looks back at her punching bag, suddenly finding it more entertaining again.
<SPoC> <Dias> And I'm counting Cheryl as two people. Have you seen what her ass can do?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias, frowning
<Marcus`> Uhh...
<SPoC> <Dias> What? 6He looks at Cheryl. 1"Dont' tell me there's some taboo about mentioning your ass as it's own weapon.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes and steps out
* Sally`Wolf goes into punching the bag again.
<Kit> <Chii> Hey Katrina, have you ever tried imprinting?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Imprinting? No.
<SPoC> 6Dias sighs, throwing his hands up. He looks at Marcus. 1"Ok, you have to explain this one to me."
<Kit> <Chii> Damn, guess you wouldn't have any hints, then.
<Marcus`> <Theron> You must forgive my unease. Our kind has warred with another for as long as I can remember. Seeing a Tsivrixsh in a situation other than war is...different.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm afraid not. What do you want to imprint?
<Kit> <Chii> A soul.
<Kulix> <Xril> Breaking down? Antiseptic won't do? Have you tried fire?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A soul?
* Marcus` shrugs. "Cheryl doesn't really like it when people hit on her, I guess.
<Myria> Uh-huh.
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah. They're a pain in the ass to integrate. I wanted to figure out if I could just imprint some of the signature onto myself.
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh that was totally not a hit on. I just fear it could break my hand.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I wouldn't know.
<Sally`Wolf> "It was rude."
<Kit> 6Chii puts a hand to her chest, beginning to glower and emanate a fluidic dark aura. 1"What do you feel when I do this?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Um. 6* She closes her eyes, trying to get a feeling from Chii
* Marcus` glances at Sally. "Says someone that calls us gay for no reason." He shakes his head, then gives Dias a shrug and moves for the exit.
<Kit> 6Chii's rather blank, though integrating Asmodeus to a small degree.
<Myria> Fire is not effective against warship grade organics.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't really feel anything
<Kulix> <Xril> Its no different for me, I assure you. Be uneasy if you must. *Xril says casually. He doesnt seem to mind the Erusian's presence
<Kit> <Chii> Beh.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves down the hallway and steps into the mess hal
<SPoC> 6Dias let's out a puff of air and turns, moving out of the training room.
* Sally`Wolf grins a bit after they leave, shaking her head. "True idiots."
<Kit> <Chii> If I do it any more I'll black out. Oh well.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin taps the intercomm. "We have a meeting today in 10 more minutes."
<Marcus`> * Theron glances up and stands, bowing slightly, then turns and walks off, always one to be early for meetings.
* Sally`Wolf looks up and frowns, walking over to the benches and drying herself off, grabbing her uniform top.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles softly, then pets Chii's ear. "Now, I'm sure Cheryl doesn't hold any grudges from the fight the other day. She berserked."
* Marcus` glances up. "Oh, I wonder if we have a new mission?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses in getting food, then turns and moves for the conference room
<SPoC> <Dias> Maybe it's about a new item on the buffet.
<Kit> 6Chii peers up at her ear, biting her lip and frowning. Hiding she likes that sort of thing with an arrogant scowl.
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah, yeah...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So. I've noticed Cheryl has been acting a bit shy and strange around you.
<Kulix> *Xril chuckles at Theron leaves him alone Myria " Is he your bodyguard? "
<Kit> <Chii> Eh?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I've just noticed she seems a bit more awkward around you. A bit less defense emotionally. A bit--- 6* She smiles, like she's going to reveal something
* Sally`Wolf finishes cleaning up and pulls on the top to her uniform, straigtening it all out before heading for the conference room.
<Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes. 1"You say that out loud I'll have to kill you."
<Kit> <Chii> Quickly. I love you and all." 6She sneers.
<Marcus`> Oh man, I hope we get some tacos.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts a hurt face on. "You'll kill me?"
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin enters the conference room, taking a seat. Cheryl enters a moment later, sitting down
<Kit> <Chii> Not if you don't know anything.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I can read emotions clear as day. I know something. 6* She stands up, smiling
<Kit> <Chii> Tch. Damn it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, time for a meeting. 6* She moves off.
<Kit> 6Chii furiously shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhs at Katrina.
* SPoC moves over and puts her rifle away. She steps out of the gun range and makes her way towards the conference room.
<Marcus`> * Theron steps in, taking hsi usualy seat.
<Kit> 6Chii storms out of the rec room and flies by Katrina for the conference room.
* Sally`Wolf takes a seat near Cheryl, crossing her arms and closing her eyes as she waits.
<Kulix> *Xril stands, saying goodbye to Myria before he heads towards the conferance room. " Sally. " he says in greeting, meeting her in the halls
<DeathStar> 6* Scar enters, taking Chii's typical spot, if she sits. Since she likes standing
* Sally`Wolf waved hi at Xril as they passed.
<SPoC> <Dias> Tacos are boring. 6He steps into the conference room.
<Marcus`> Pfft. You're boring. *he steps into the conference room, moving over to take his seat*
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus enters, taking a seat, adjusting his white lab coat.
<SPoC> <Dias> Have you seen my giant gold statue? I'm totally not boring. 6He plops down next to him
<Kulix> *Xril enters the conference room , taking a seat at the back
* SPoC steps in herself now and takes her seat, pulling out her notebook.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina enters finally, sitting down now.
* Marcus` sighs. "I'm pretty sure it's make out of that fake gold stuff.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Alright, let us begin.
<SPoC> 6Dias just wiggles his eyebrows at Marcus
<Kit> 6Chii inconspicuously slides a wire around Scar's throat.
* Myria hops into her usual seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar holds up his hand. "That means no killing me while the General talks."
<Kit> <Chii> My chair." 6She looks all happy and smiles just as sweet.
<Marcus`> * Theron glances at Myria slightly, then looks to the general.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Oh. Well, if you want to play bondage in it later, we can.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin clears his throat. "Find another chair, Chii."
* Marcus` slowly glances over his shoulder at Scar, then look at Paladin.
<Ari[AWAY]> 6* Raquel enters the room hurriedly, her hair still wet from her shower. Damn short notice meetings.
<Kit> <Chii> Fiiine." 6She sighs, then reaches over to grab another, mule kicking the end of Scar's to send it backwards and slide her's next to Cheryl. 1"Found one ."
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<DeathStar> 6* Scar readjusts his chair before he falls
<DeathStar> <Paladin> We all have an unusual assignment that can change the tide of the war.
<SPoC> <Dias> I hope it involves me kicking some ass with my new super powers.
* Marcus` leans forward. "Since it's unusual, I bet it won't deal with much fighting.
<Kit> 6Chii groans and leans on an elbow.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Our military has equipped a shuttle with a small Light engine, which we will use to jump to the Ridiarium homeworld, while our fleet keeps their fleet busy. We will proceed to take out the leaders in power, destroy any Dark One influence, and set up beacons to help our second set of ships jump directly to the planet to help secure it.
<Kit> <Chii> ...We're sieging a homeworld!?
<SPoC> <Dias> Yes. Punching things.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm. That is unusual.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms.
<SPoC> 6Dias holds his hand out for a high five towards Marcus
<Kulix> <Xril> Assassinations?
* Marcus` just sits there wide eyed.
* Sally`Wolf grins. "I like this plan."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Unfortunately that means we have no information to use about the homeworld, since we don't have any intel on it. We'll be going in blind.
<Kit> <Chii> Like... we're assassinating their leaders? I haven't done that in a while... dangerous.. with... no... intel.
<Kit> 6Dawn tilts his head slightly. Assassination is something he could pull off.
<SPoC> Would it not be more efficient to Light jump a huge bomb?
<Kulix> *Xril frowns at Paladin's last comment
<Marcus`> <Theron> I believe they want the homeworld intact. Natalie.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...all that... and take out the darkones?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> No, it would not. We can't get the shuttle onto the planet with accuracy, and we won't be able to navigate any specific damage.
<Marcus`> So wait. How many people are we going to have to kill?
* SPoC nods to Paladin, understanding
<DeathStar> <Paladin> The Ridiarium council. It'll be composed of 5 Ridiariums.
<Kit> 6Dawn eyes Katrina. <It would also be easier to quell further attacks on us if we resolve it in such an efficient manner. Perhaps even gain allies of the Ridarium. That would be interesting.>
<Kulix> <Xril> And their guards?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> As I said. No intel.
<SPoC> <Dias> What sort of guage strength are they in comparison to other Ridariums?
<Kulix> <Xril> Wonderful.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> No intel, Dias.
<Sally`Wolf> "They seem the type that lead by force to me, so I'd assume big, strong, and nastey."
<Kit> <Chii> Cool. A suicide, longshot mission.
<SPoC> We can only assume they are stronger.
<Kulix> <Xril> Or perhaps they lead because their the only ones with brains.
<DeathStar> <Scar> I love suicide missions
<Marcus`> Well if we think about it logically, a typical bodyguard detachment is around 2. So that would make 10 guards and then the 5 council members. That's just assuming though, and you know how that works.
<Kit> 6Chii holds up an O.K. sign. 1"Our superiors must love us."
<SPoC> <Dias> Because you don't go on them? 6He looks at Scar
<Ariel> Raquel> "...do we have any escape plan?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> It is a one way deal. If we fail, we aren't going home.
<Kit> <Chii> Nice. He admitted it was kamikaze.
<Sally`Wolf> "Sounds like a few of my previous jobs..."
<DeathStar> 6* Scar eyes Paladin, then looks up. "Well, good luck to you all. Go save the world."
<Marcus`> Oh nice. Cran must be getting desperate.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well Scar, in the very unlikely chance that I won't be coming back. Take up my mantle.
<Sally`Wolf> "Cran? How about Earth."
<DeathStar> <Scar> I will carry on your legacy with dignity and big cocks.
<Kulix> <Xril> Throwing out a guess based on vague estimates? Thats QUITE logical.
<SPoC> 6Dias waves his hand in agreement
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin holds up his hand for silence.
* Marcus` eyes Xril and goes to retort when he notices Paladin, he clenches his teeth.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> We'll be leaving in a few hours, so finish up whatever preparations you need to make before you go. If you don't want to go on this assignment, that's fine, too. I'll understand.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Dismissed.
<Kit> 6Dawn rubs his neck, sighs, then approaches Paladin.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands and moves out
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances at Dawn.
<SPoC> <Dias> Anyone want to have one last romp with me before this mission?
* Marcus` stands up. "See you in a few, then." He turns and steps out.
<DeathStar> <Scar> I could drug up Cheryl for you, Dias.
<SPoC> <Dias> I don't need to drug her up.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Yeah? Prove it.
<Kit> 6Chii locks on Scar, her killing intent rising quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks over at Chii, trying to send her good will.
<Kit> 6Dawn makes an exchange with Paladin, seemingly about weaponry.
<SPoC> <Dias> Give me a month.
* Sally`Wolf walks over to Scar and puts her hand on his shoulder, leaning over to whisper into his ear. "I can think of a way to spend a few hours before I go."
* Myria looks over at Theron.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Done. 6* He says to Dias, then looks at Sal. "Done."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Well...maybe I'll smash up one of THEIR houses.
<SPoC> 6Dias holds his hand out to shake on it
<Marcus`> * Theron glances at Myria. "I wish for you to remain here. However, I can not make you."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods. "The armory will be opened to our best weapons. If you need anything else, put in a request, and fast."
* Sally`Wolf grins and hugs him from behind, waiting on Scar to handshake.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar shakes on Dias' hand
* SPoC stands up and gathers her stuff and turns, moving out.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rises, moving to get ready
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes Scar shaking on his hand
<Myria> Well...I'm not sure what I could do...I mena...you know...sinc eyou're hitting the ground and all.
* Sally`Wolf looks over at Paladin. "Sir? If you could get me anything large and firing that plasma that worked so well, I'd appreciate it."
<Kit> 6Dawn nods, inquiring about rifles, of course. Ridariums. He'd need something better than depleted uranium .50 cal it seems if their last escapade was any assurance.
<Marcus`> * Theron bows his head. "I must admit, my mind would be at ease."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Don't you have enough big guns, Miss. Wolf?
<SPoC> <Dias> It's a deal. 6He eyes him oddly then moves and walks out
<Myria> Will you be able to fight better if you don't have to worry about me?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin rises, clearly going to to the armory himself to set up weapons for everyone.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks through a hallway, entering her room. Katrina moves along.
<Kit> 6Dawn follows Paladin a stride.
<Sally`Wolf> "Not that fire that stuff."
<Kit> 6Chii leaps at Cheryl from behind.
<Marcus`> * Theron gives a slight shake of his head. "Do not worry about me. I will perform my duties."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel seems bothered by this mission, wandering towards the armoury while lost in thought.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is leapt on and stumbles forward and onto the bed
<Sally`Wolf> "See what you can do boss!"
<Kulix> *Xril stands " General, I have but one request. The blaster I had when I joined your team- where was it taken?" He asks as Paladin leaves
* Marcus` sits down in the rec room, pulling his arms behind he head as he looks up at ceiling.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I don't know.
<Myria> But would you?
* Sally`Wolf looks to Scar, "Shall we?"
* SPoC steps into the armory and begins to go through weapons.
<Kulix> <Xril> ... *He feints a smile
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I'll look into it.
<Marcus`> * Theron shakes his head. "It is your choice Miss Myria. If you come along, I will not let any harm come of you. If you decide to stay, then I am certain I would have to protect some other.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin enters the armory, unlocking all the big guns
* SPoC looks over at Paladin, tilting her head slightly
<SPoC> 6Dias steps into his room, grabbing his fighting gear.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Help yourselves.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Time to get the party favors. *steps into the armory*
<Kulix> *Xril follows behind him, lifting an oversized rifle from the rack
* SPoC moves over to the big guns and studies them.
<DeathStar> 6* A few rail guns, plasma rifles. Some Dark One fixed weapons.
<Myria> I'll stay. While you are fighting the Ridarium, I'll continue working on a way to fight the Dark Ones!
<Kit> <Chii> How should we spend our little while, eh? Eh? A shower? Hee.
* SPoC grabs a Dark One Fixed Rifle and the energy clips that go with them.
<Kit> 6Hands lift Raquel from the armoury floor.
* Sally`Wolf drags Scar along to the armory since he's being quiet, entertaining herself with the weapons.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> W-What? You want to take a shower with me?
<Kit> <Chii> Sounds fun.
<Kulix> <Xril> ... not my spitfire, but it will have to do... *He eyes SPoC* Not that it counts for anything, but I'd suggest against dark one weapons..
<DeathStar> 6* Scar seems out of it.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Why are we going to the armoery?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel looks back, surprised.
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be a gatling gun with bullets, but against Ridiariums, it might not do much
<Sally`Wolf> "Running an errand."
<Kit> 6Lilith narrows her eyes at Raquel. 1"Where do you think you are going?"
<Kulix> <Xril> Its been my experience that Dark empowered objects and individual grow stronger the more darkness you fill them with.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...to get equiped for the mission?"
* Sally`Wolf grabs for herself a plasma rifle and a dark one fixed weapon, leaving some of her other rifles on the rack.
<SPoC> I am well aware of what is required to fire a Ridarium.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> IT doesn't fire dark energy. It fires negating energy, Xrileshir.
<Marcus`> * Theron bows his head. "Very well. I will return to you within time."
* Marcus` hops up and moves down the hallway.
<Myria> Promise?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Only effective against Dark Ones.
<Kit> <Lilith> I will not let you go on one such as this.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks red in the face.
<Ariel> Raquel> "You... what...?"
<Kit> 6Dawn studies the unlocked armoury for weapons more of his type. Long range. Focused and powerful.
<Sally`Wolf> "We have explosives available sir?"
<Marcus`> * Theron bows his head once again. "I will try with everything in my power."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Yes. But I'm only going to hand those out later. This team and explosives do not mix.
<Sally`Wolf> "Fair enough."
* SPoC nods to Paladin in agreement and moves over to her locker opening it. She begins to strip down.
* Sally`Wolf marks another reason to make Chii suffer off her list.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *equipping herself with heavy combat armor and several weapons.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves off.
* Marcus` pokes his head into the armory. "Dibs on one of those Dark One cannons."
<Kulix> <Xril> Ah. Then I might have one. *He slings the huge rifle over his back on a strap, grabbing a moderately smaller Negating Rifle
<Kulix> *He then begins layering body armor
* SPoC reaches out and grabs her tact suit, putting it on.
* Sally`Wolf grins at Scar and moves over to her own locker, pulling off her uniform top.
* Marcus` shifts out and moves down the hallway, eventually he knocks on Katrina's door.
<DeathStar> 6* No answer. Katrina must not be in
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl remains red in the face, clearly thinking hard
<Kit> 6Chii leans in closely, staring.
* Marcus` shifts back, rubbing his cheek, he glances around, then moves off
<DeathStar> 6* Scar watches Sal.
* Sally`Wolf slowly strips down, moving as though to get out her tactical suit.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina, in her effort to get ready, has entered the training room, eyes closed, focused.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... uh.. why...don't we take separate showers?
<Kit> <Chii> Wh-what? Why!?" 6She sniffs.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't want you watching me clean myself!
* SPoC zips up her tact suit.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...Lilith?"
* Marcus` slows to a stop outside the training room and steps in. "Ah, here you ar-" He pauses, realizing she is proably busy.
<Kit> 6Dawn nudges Paladin and inquires if he's allowed to modify what's available.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hello, Marcus. 6* She opens her eyes, glancing over.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Only if you inform me beforehand, Dawn.
<Kit> <Lilith> You are not allowed, Raquel. I will not allow you to.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus goes back to monitoring his Weapon patient.
<Kit> 6Dawn blinks. [That is what I am doing.]
<Marcus`> Sorry, darlin. Wasn't meaning to interrupt.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I need to know what modifications.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's okay. What did you need?
* Sally`Wolf looks over her shoulder at Scar, smiling at him.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...you... can do that?"
<Marcus`> Ah you know. We've sorta got this thing going on where we chat before impending doom.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy leans down and records Sal's breasts.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, that is true. 6* She smiles.
* Marcus` smiles and moves over to plop down by her. "Training the ol' noggin?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes. Getting it loose and ready.
<Kit> 6Dawn nods and pulls up a datapad and a stylus out of its side, sketching out a hybrid of the power sources and sinks from one of the plasma weapons and his own rifle... modifying it to be stocky, but short, but to carry energy-supplied rounds to pack a higher hit. Long rifles and ammunition a nuissance in urban areas and long missions.
<SPoC> 6Dias steps into the brig, wearing his battle armor. A hooded sweatshirt, a headband and his fighting gloves.
<DeathStar> 6* Some guards eye Dias.
<Kit> 6Lilith eyes Raquel. 1"Can I not?" 6She turns and begins hefting Raquel out.
<Kulix> *Xril takes his new rifle to the training room, atleast intel could be gathered from SOME things before the mission began. He levels the massive cannon at a target, bracing himself against the innevitable knockback, he squeezes the trigger, judging the the rifle's power
<SPoC> <Dias> What? 6He looks at the guards
<Marcus`> That's so interesting. I don't think I can even imagine how I could begin to get my mind loose.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel ponders, "...I could just ripple out."
<DeathStar> <Guards> What is your purpose here?
<SPoC> <Dias> To talk to our guest.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, there's many techniques.
<DeathStar> <Guards> Do you have permission?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods. "Go ahead."
* Sally`Wolf eyes Billy and blinks, then turns and drags Scar to her room, in a t-shirt and her underthings.
<DeathStar> 6* The target is destroyed, and part of the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar waves at Billy
<Kit> 6Dawn smiles at Paladin and heads to one of the engineering bays in the hangar.
<Marcus`> It took me forever to learn to fight, could you imagine how long it woudl take me to learn to use my mind? Isn't it more complicated?
<SPoC> 6Dias goes blank. 1"And I would say yes but didnt?"
<DeathStar> <Guard> Huh?
<Kit> <Chii> Watch you clean yourself? Why would I do that?
<Kit> <Lilith> I would pull you from your ripple.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... why else would we take a shower together?
<SPoC> <Dias> Nevermind. Can you open a comm to Paladin?
<Kit> <Chii> To get up close and personal-- with assistance." 6Giggle.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard nods and presses the intercomm
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin enters his office.
<SPoC> <Dias> Hey Paladin.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks. "E-Eh? F-Fine. But you better just wash."
<Kulix> <Xril> Well, thats marginally satisfying. *he nods, swapping his rifle for the Anti-Dark weapon. He aims at another target, squeezing the trigger
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns and hurries to the shower.
* Sally`Wolf grins to Scar as she closes the door behind her, "Hey, it could be my last time, so let's have fun with it."
<DeathStar> 6* It fires a plasma shot. The gun seems to overheat easily, judging by it's power outage.
<DeathStar> <Scar> Can do. Who do you want today?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pouts, and rests her head on Lilith's shoulder, "...fine. You win." 6Even if she knows she could counter that.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Yes, Dias?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin takes a seat.
<Kit> 6Chii follows after Cheryl, hitting her door to close it. She looks disappointed, but then rubs her hands deviously. She'll wash her good, then.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm supposed to ask permission to talk to our guest.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "It's...different."
<Kit> <Lilith> I will not allow you on a mission where there is not even a devised exit strategy. Hrmph.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Weapon X? Go ahead.
<SPoC> 6Dias motions his hands
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strips nude and enters the shower, turning it on hot.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard steps aside.
* Sally`Wolf considers, and smiles, "You and anyone else that catches your fancy. I hope you got more then one in you today."
<Kit> 6Chii strips as well, snickering to herself as she slips in and grabs the soap.
* Marcus` nods once. "So...you're going on the mission, then? Since you're getting ready."
<DeathStar> 6* Scar shrugs and turns into Xrileshir.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I planned to, yes.
<SPoC> 6Dias moves in past them and upto her cell
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her grabbing the soap. Suspiciously.
<DeathStar> 6* X sits there on her cot, eyeing the ceiling
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> War without end. *spoken as she secures her last bit of ordnance*
<Kulix> *Xril ponders, beggening to fire in succession until he becomes proficient with the new weapon without damaging it or himself
<SPoC> <Dias> Yo.
<DeathStar> 6* The weapon overheats on Xril and begins to spark
* Sally`Wolf looks him up and down. "OH yes, this will be interesting. Let's see how a Tsiv fucks."
<Kit> 6Dawn pulls up schematics on the cannon and some of his hand-mades on his own weapon, creating a new file and devising manners to combine their power sources and how to evenly distribute the heat and weight while retaining the more compact and sturdy design. He eyes the tools, some of them ship-building.
* Marcus` nods. "This is going to be wild, I'll say. I'm kind of worried.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? You're always worried. 6* She jokes.
<DeathStar> 6* X glances at Dias. "II."
<Marcus`> Well we can't all be stupidly confident like Dias.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's...true.
<SPoC> <Dias> Dias.
<DeathStar> <X> Dias.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *steps out of the armory* Billy!!!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy remains in the armory, hidden
<Kit> 6Chii lathers up her hands good and well, then advances on Cheryl with a sweet, caring smile.
<Marcus`> Besides, i'm not worried about me. I'm worried about everyone else.
<Kit> 6And a predatory aura.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... watch where you wash.
<Kulix> *Xril stops, watching the weapon untill it cools
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Come out.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems it'll take many, many minutes.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy rolls out a stun grenade instead
<Kit> <Chii> I will." 6She chimes cheerfully. 1"I'll watch it closely." 6She advances.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm sure everyone will do fine.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns. Damn tiny shower.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> BILLY!
<Kit> 6Chii descends.
<DeathStar> 6* The stun grenade goes off.
* Marcus` nods. "Yeah, I guess you're right." He rubs the side of his head. "So." he trails off before shrugging. "I'll watch your back if you watch mine."
<SPoC> 6SPoC steps into the training room and quietly moves to a mat, sitting down.
<Kit> 6Dawn spends his time making his hybrid, then heads to the weapon-testing range.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, leaning forward. "Something else wrong?"
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...its a good thing I'm a cyborg with an artificial nervous system...
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sighs, stepping out
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> The horror of futility. Alright, I'm about to ship out, Billy. You know the drill. No genocides, got it?
* SPoC begins stretching out
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, the only way to make sure I don't do that is if I go.
<DeathStar> <Billy> With you!
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> You are not going to the Ridarium homeworld.
<DeathStar> 6* X stares at Dias, since he's just standing there right now
<Marcus`> I-*he pauses* Oh right. *he motions at her head* Yeah...just uh, be careful. If something were to happen-" he trails off again, frowning.
<Kit> 6Dawn flits a switch on the side of the gun, changing the mode and unlocking the safety, it begins to hum. He hefts it onto the railing and takes aim at a target, waiting for a full charge, then fires.
<SPoC> Dias> So what's your name?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles, leaning forward and kissing him on the cheek. "I'll be fine."
<DeathStar> <X> X.
<SPoC> <Dias> That's lame.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sulks.
<DeathStar> <X> You are lame. 6* She notes snidely.
<Marcus`> I know. Just, you know...i'm a worry wart. Without the wart part, since those are gross. *He gives her a light smile*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles. "I'm surprised you're not asking for sex again, in case you die. I recall the last major mission."
<SPoC> <Dias> But I still have a cool name. 6He beams with pride.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Let's see...no genocides, no overthrowing civilization, no stabbings...what else?
<DeathStar> <X> Your name is not cool.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Jeeze. Setsuna momma lets me do that.
* Marcus` pauses and laughs. "Well I'm trying this whole thing out where I try to get you to think better of me."
<SPoC> 6Dias crosses his arms, hrmping. 1"Atleast it's not just a lame letter."
<DeathStar> <X> You are correct. Your name is made of four lame letters.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Then I'm having a long talk with her about that.
<SPoC> <Dias> That make up one great name. 6He nods again.
<DeathStar> <X> If this is your method of torture, tell your commander that his lap dog is doing well.
<SPoC> 6Dias get's a blank look. 1"Huh?"
<Kulix> <Xril> If only we had some Dark targets... *he blinks, then throws the weapon over his shoulder, heading out to find Myria
<DeathStar> <X> I forgot. The II model doesn't have high intelligence.
* SPoC looks over at Marcus and Katrina, her head tilting slightly
<Kit> 6Dawn glances up, judging what the hybrid has done.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles. "I think well of you already."
<SPoC> <Dias> Ri-right. So we need to give you a cool name. It'll make people associate with you better.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yeah? She'd totally own you. She'd beat you and have sex with you on the bed.
<Marcus`> Oh so I can stop pretending? *he arches a brow*
<Kit> 6Chii thoroughly demea-- err, washes Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <X> I don't want a cool name.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well why not?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl scowls, thoroughly whipped.
<DeathStar> <X> I like X.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh? You're pretending?
<SPoC> <Dias> ...6He blinks. 1"Well I can't argue with that kind of logic.
<Marcus`> I think if I was pretending I would try to be loads cooler, don't you? *he smiles*
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Uhhh...that happens half the time anyway...
<DeathStar> <X> You cannot argue with any logic.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I know. My viewership likes it.
<SPoC> <Dias> It'll be short for Extreme.
<DeathStar> <X> No
<DeathStar> 6* X looks pissed now.
<Kulix> *Xril arrives at Myria's lab. requesting entrance either by knock, or comm. whichever is appropriate
<SPoC> <Dias> Fine. 6He sighs. 1"So what do you plan on doing now?"
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Oh...right...I almost forgot. No porn empire building.
<DeathStar> <X> Escaping you and finishing what I began.
<Myria> Huh? *opens the door*
<SPoC> <Dias> It'll never work.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sulks more.
<DeathStar> <X> We'll see.
<Kit> 6Lilith flicks Raquel in the forehead.
<SPoC> <Dias> There's better things to do in life than trying to kill me.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles a bit.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...hey..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, tell me... anything you want to do before we go on this mission?
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Am I forgetting any others ground rules?
<Kit> <Lilith> There is a mission for you here.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Noooo
<Marcus`> I don't really think there's enough time to do all of the things I would like to do. *he notes with a slight nod*
<Kulix> *Myria stares at Xril's armored midsection as she opens the door, toting a rifle in his arms "I need you to help me test this."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives him a sultry look. "Oh really? And what all do you want to do with me?"
<Ariel> Raquel> "...a mission?"
* SPoC eyes go wide as she looks at Kat now
<Kit> <Lilith> You have a friend to acquire.
<Kit> 6Lilith frowns at her choice of words. 1"Make."
<DeathStar> 6* X eyes Dias. "Oh? Like what?"
<SPoC> <Dias> You know. Like eating ice cream.
<Myria> Test it?
<DeathStar> <X> What is ... ice cream?
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Alright. General order is, behave.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Fiiiine.
<SPoC> <Dias> My god...You don't know what Ice cream is?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...what do you mean?"
<DeathStar> <X> IF you like it, it probably sucks.
<Marcus`> Well you know. Long walks on the beach, candle-lit dinners. And do you like ferris wheels? Cause they can be pretty fun. *he goes into listing things before pausing* But really, just spending time with you, it's pretty nice.
<DeathStar> 6* X notes, glancing to the side indigantly.
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh I'm so getting you some right now.
<Kulix> <Xril> Test it. You wanted help breaking down Dark Cells, right?
<Kulix> <Xril> Do you have a mass of cells we can use as a target?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh really? 6* She smiles a bit. "Well, I'm about to take a shower, so I'm not sure how much time you'd really like to spend with me."
* Myria nod nods.
<SPoC> 6Dias moves over to the wall comm and pages Paladin
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin answers. "YeS?"
<DeathStar> 6* X studies Dias now.
<Kulix> <Xril> Where? *he says, ducking under the doorway as he steps into Myria's lab
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is finally out of breath, after Chii finishes. Her face more red than before. "B-Bitch." 6* She looks ready to do something evil to Chii
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I said to just wash.
<SPoC> <Dias> I need some ice cream down here for X.
<Kit> 6Chii steps back, totally smug. 1"That's all I did. Half your problem now, you know, nya haha!"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> ... you want to give the prisoner....ice cream?"
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Well, the man inside of me is dying to make a comment. But i'll take anytime you want to give me. And if you get hungry, I could make your favorite meal before we go."
<SPoC> <Dias> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe I should wash you ... in a bucket.
<SPoC> I believe he would like to shower with you.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at SPoC, smiling. "You think so?"
<Myria> Umm...in isolated storage...but...ummm...your gun isn't exactly fit to test un der lab conditions in my test chamber.
<Kit> 6Lilith gazes away from Raquel, at a loss. 1"Um... A fellow Weapon, such as yourself. She lacks the guidance to a proper and fulfilling life. One who has given up on revenge... should you not be the proper one to teach the way to divert such?"
<Kit> <Chii> Want a massage?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin shrugs. "Fine. I'll have the chef bring some down. What flavor?"
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Am I understood, young lady?
<SPoC> I do believe that is his desire.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Me? Shouldn't I return the frackin' favor?
* Marcus` glances at SPoC, not even realizing she was there. His cheeks tint slightly and he coughs. "Well."
<SPoC> <Dias> All of them.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, if he wanted it, you'd think he'd just come out and say it.
<Kit> 6Dawn nods, then flicks the first switch on the rifle, setting it to a silent mode-- the charging whine completely unheard, but slower. Then fires again.
<SPoC> I believe he is afraid you will say no.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs the soap, eyeing her
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's too bad.
<Kit> <Chii> H-huh..!? B-But a massage... I-I'll make you feel really good!
<DeathStar> k6* Katrina pouts.
<SPoC> And that his labido will be hurt.
<Kulix> <Xril> Then lets set up a controlled experiment. We've got a little over an hour, and I'll be damned if I walk into another situation with no knowledge of the circumstances.
<Kit> 6Chii backs up.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods. "She's... hard to talk to. But she's not a bad person..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers. "Oh, ho ho, you've already done that quite enough. Now let me return the favor."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods. "Fine."
<Myria> Ok, come back in an hour and 20 minutes, and my test chamber will be reconfigured.
* Marcus` drops his mouth open and sighs. "No...I just don't want her-you to think that i've only got one thing on my mind. Because I don't. But yeah, I do want to shower with you."
<Kit> <Chii> Eheheh! It's not really necessary, you know... I f-feel great and I bathe regularly...
<SPoC> <Dias> Thanks. 6He clicks the comm off and looks over at X. 1"There ya go.
<DeathStar> 6* X frowns. "I didn't want any."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What? You saying I don't shower enough?
<SPoC> <Dias> Try it, if ya don't like it. Don't eat it.
<SPoC> <Dias> And than you can have a real reason to hate me.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles a bit. "I can read your mind, Marcus. I know what's on it."
<DeathStar> <X> Hrm. Fine.
<Kit> <Chii> Huh? No, I'm just saying I'm pretty clean." 6She stares blankly, suddenly in a trap.
<SPoC> And what would that be? 6She looks at Katrina with interest
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What? Cleaner than me?
<Kit> <Chii> I... I don't know!
* Marcus` glances at SPoC, then looks to Kat.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets find out. Lets start down there. 6* She motions at Chii's nether regions. Apparantly she's berserking in a new way.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I can't say.
<DeathStar> 6* The chef arrives with all the flavors of ice cream. All 69
<Kit> <Chii> O-Oh hell no!" 6She jerks and turns to run.
* Marcus` lets out a breath. "I'm just worried about things, SPoC. That's all." He waves a hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tackles her, and begins to wash.
<Kulix> *Xril blinks " an hour and... 20..?" He stifles a sigh, and nods. " Then I'll be back. Thanks. " he says, heading out. Myria's never known a nicer Tsiv.
<SPoC> Than you should not entice me with information. 6She frowns
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I apologize.
<DeathStar> 6* The chef motions for Dias to lower the cell shield, and runs out, less he die or something
<SPoC> <Dias> Excellent. 6He goes to lower the cell door then pauses, looking inside. 1"You're not going to kill me right away, are ya?"
<DeathStar> <X> I might.
* Myria nod nods!
<SPoC> <Dias> ...Good enough for me. 6He lowers the shield
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands, brushing her hand along Marcus' hair. "If you want to come, you can. I don't mind." 6* She moves out of the room.
<Kit> 6Lilith nudges Raquel. 1"Then your mission has been accepted."
<DeathStar> 6* X jerks forward to tackle Dias.
* Marcus` scratches the side of his face, slowly glancing at SPoC. "Y-you think she's serious?"
<SPoC> 6Dias quickly reaches out and grabs a scoop of icecream, plopping it on X's face as he's tackled
<DeathStar> 6* X stops, grabbing her own face.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards aim at X, preparing to stun her
<SPoC> <Dias> You..6He points towards his mouth. 1"Put it on your tongue and taste it."
* Marcus` pauses and hops to his feet. "Guess I should go find out." he turns and steps out, moving after Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina enters his room, leaving the door open
<SPoC> At this point I do not believe it matters.
<DeathStar> 6* X licks it off her face
<DeathStar> <X> What is that?
<SPoC> <Dias> That's ice cream.
<DeathStar> <X> It sucks. It hurts my teeth
* Marcus` pauses and glances around, then steps into the room, closing the door after himself.
<SPoC> <Dias> You're eating it too fast.
<DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She frowns, not liking the pain
<Kit> 6Chii's shrieks can be faintly heard in the hallway, likely.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is stripping in the bathroom. She pauses, lifting her head up
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes abusing Chii, stepping out of the shower and drying off.
<SPoC> <Dias> I...Cookies than. 6He moves over to the comm and taps it to Paladin again. 1"We need cookies."
<DeathStar> 6* X takes another bite with her teeth, chewing on it
* Marcus` arches a brow, and just shakes his head. "Wow."
<Kit> 6Chii crawls out of the shower like she was going to drown.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances over at her. She smiles a bit, perhaps feeling his emotions. "Not too old for you?"
<DeathStar> 6* The guards lower the guns
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin sighs, and contact the chef
<SPoC> 6Dias looks over at her again. 1"Don't eat it fast either. You'll get what they call a brain freeze."
<DeathStar> 6* X makes a face as it hurts her teeth again
<Ariel> 6* Raquel considers a moment, then looks to Lilith, "...you'll have to put me down, or carry me."
<Marcus`> Oh ouch. I knew those rumors would come back to haunt me.
<SPoC> <Dias> Of course it doesn't effect me. 6He beams with pride once mroe.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves over to her bed, getting her uniform ready
<Kit> 6Lilith jerks, then starts carrying Raquel toward the holding area-- as if she planned it all along.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smirks a bit, and turns on the water, testing it.
<Kit> <Chii> Such sweet, horrible torture...
<DeathStar> 6* X eyes Dias, then shoves his face into the ice cream
<Ariel> 6* Raquel leans against Lilith, content to be carried.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm glad you like being clean.
<SPoC> 6Dias stands there, face in the ice cream.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I certainly found it interesting.
<Kit> 6Chii mumbles something about getting her dirty later.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards shoot X this time, stunning her
<SPoC> 6Dias pulls his face out, blinking. His face full of ice cream. 1"HEY!"
* Marcus` steps forward and moves to pull his shirt off. "How hot do you like it?"
<DeathStar> <Guard> Don't worry sir, we put her down
<SPoC> <Dias> For what?!
<DeathStar> <Guard> She attacked you, sir.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I like making my own heat, really.
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, by putting my face in ice cream. How dangerous of her. 6He moves over and kneels beside her.
<Kit> 6Dawn sneaks down the empty halls.
<DeathStar> 6* X sits up, the stun not working well on her
<SPoC> <Dias> Way to stun her for performing a killing blow.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to get dressed, since Chii doesn't interfere anymore.
<SPoC> <Dias> You alright? 6He looks at her, the ice cream still on his face.
<Kit> 6Chii whistles.
<DeathStar> <X> Yes. I'll kill them later.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to eye her, dangerously.
<Marcus`> Yeah? Well i'm a portable heater. Just turn the knob here to find your desired temperature. *he notes, pointing to his nipple, smiling and obviously joking*
<SPoC> 6Dias reaches over and bops her on the head. 1"No. We dont' kill."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina reaches over, and does so.
<DeathStar> <X> ... I am not a dog!
<Kit> 6Chii eyes her up and down, liking the half-dressed look.
* Marcus` starts to laugh, backing up. "I-I was kidding. That tickles."
<SPoC> <Dias> Than don't say you're going to kill things.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reels, then sneers. "Is there any way I can look that isn't a turn on for you?"
<Kit> <Chii> As if I'd tell you.
<DeathStar> <X> .... Them first, then you.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But if you tell me, I can avoid looking like that. 6* She says in a girly tone.
<SPoC> 6Dias raises his fist again.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina giggles a bit and steps into the shower.
<DeathStar> 6* X gives him a "I dare you" look
<DeathStar> 6* The chef rolls in the cookies
<SPoC> 6Dias goes to bop her than stops, his nostrils flaring. 1"Oooh, cookies."
<DeathStar> 6* X eyes the cookies now. "What are cookies?"
* Marcus` strips down and then glances at himself in the mirror, making sure he looks awesome before poking his head into the shower. Of course, Awesome is relative.
<DeathStar> 6* Very relative.
<SPoC> 6Dias wipes the ice cream off his face and then uses his shirt to dry it off. 1"The next best thing to ice cream, without the teeth hurting."
<Kit> <Chii> Pff, as if I'd fall for that. Besides, I think it'd give it a little spice if you get a little angry beforehand." 6She grins widely. 1"Though shy and bashful is totally cute, too."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lathers up some soap, motioning for Marcus to turn around so she can wash his back.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks again. "I am not fucking shy and bashful. Ever."
<Marcus`> Be warned, if I start kicking my leg, it's a side effect of tranforming so much. *he jokes, shifting his back towards her*
<Kit> <Chii> Oh really?" 6Smiiiiles.
<DeathStar> 6* X eyes them, then takes a cooking, eating it like a killer would. Slow and grinding
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll keep that in mind. 6* She begins to wash his back.
<SPoC> <Dias> Seriously. Like this. 6He grabs a cookie and takes a chomp out of it. Chewing like a superhero.
<Kit> 6Chii sits back and contently recalls the night memory. Totally letting it leak over the bond.
<DeathStar> 6* X eyes him, then does the exact opposite.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks, red faced. She hurriedly gets dressed to get out of there.
<Kit> <Chii> Yes, just like that!
<Kit> 6Chii giggles and rolls onto her side.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She sneers, grinding her teeth. Plotting bad things.
* Marcus` closes his eyes and leans forward slightly, placing a hand on the wall to hold himself up.
<DeathStar> <Guard 1> Don't they make the cutest couple? <Guard 2> Yeah. A regular Yin / Yang.
<SPoC> 6Dias rolls his eyes and holds his cookie. 1"And daring people. You know, those that aren't agraid of anything. Mix these two together. 6He scoops up some vanilla ice cream and takes a bite of it
<DeathStar> 6* X eyes him, then does it, chewing it
<DeathStar> <X> Why are you doing this?
<SPoC> <Dias> Because I'm hungry?
<DeathStar> <X> ... I meant being nice to me.
<SPoC> <Dias> Why would I be nice to you?
<DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She glances away, angry.
<DeathStar> <X> Good. I don't want you to be nice to me.
<SPoC> <Dias> I mean wouldn't.
<DeathStar> 6* X eyes him now. "I am trying to kill you. I could do so right now."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina finishes. "There you go. And no leg kicking."
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh totally. 6He takes another bite of his ice cream sandwich. 1"Because it's the right thing to do."
<DeathStar> <X> ... It is the stupid thing to do.
<Marcus`> Took all of my willpower, I assure you. *he straitens up and turns* Your turn, then.
<SPoC> <Dias> And?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hands him the soap, smiling, turning her back to him.
<DeathStar> <X> ... Hrmph. I do not understand you
<SPoC> <Dias> Better not to try. 6He shrugs. 1"I'll make you a deal."
* Marcus` lathers his hands up and begins to wash Kat's back. Doing a mixture of massaging and washing.
<DeathStar> <X> A deal?
<DeathStar> 6* X looks at him, confused now, looking almost like a real girl.
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah. You do know what that is, right?
<DeathStar> <X> It is where you offer something if I offer something?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina relaxes a bit into his touch. "You're very talented with your hands."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dresses, turning to face Chii. She eyes her. "Maybe I should throw your clothes out and let you run around naked again."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes to grab Chii's clothings that have made their way to her room over the past few months
<Kit> <Chii> ...!" 6Jerks. 1"Y-You'd... do that to me?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmmhm
<Marcus`> I'm glad you think so. Took years of heard work and schooling to get this way.
<Marcus`> NRP: hard*
<SPoC> 6Dias blinks as he makes a face. 1"Yes, yes it is. So here it is. You promise to hold out on killing me until you experience things. If you find yourself better after an arbitrary amount of time, you drop the killing me. If you don't. Than you can try to kill me."
<Kulix> *Xril in the meantime, sits at a console watching recorded battles where massive numbers of Ridarium have been encountered, observing their strategies and formations, formulating his own.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's paid off.
<DeathStar> <X> ... And what if I lie and kill you when your back is turned?
<Marcus`> Thank god. I thought you would find me...lacking. *he notes, slowly coming to a stop*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns to face him. "So far so good."
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm willing to take that risk.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves for the door with the clothes.
<Kit> 6Chii makes no move to stop her.
<DeathStar> <X> Fine. I'll accept your deal. And when I kill you, you will look back on this moment, and know your folly.
<Marcus`> Any other problem areas I can assist you with?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, trying to sense any shyness or bashfulness.
<SPoC> 6Dias holds his hand out.
<DeathStar> 6* X eyes his hand. "What?"
<Kit> 6Chii's totally embarassed, but hiding it under a facade. When Cheryl eyes her, she's holding Cheryl's underwear drawer.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't know. 6* She wraps her arms around his neck, leaning up a bit on her feet. "Maybe."
<SPoC> <Dias> To shake on it and make it a binding contract that neither of us can back out of.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers, then throws the clothes at her face. "Look who's bashful now."
<DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She quickly shakes his hand then tries to let go, as if touching him is unappealing
<Kit> 6Chii drops the drawer instinctively to catch her clothes, then howls as the drawer lands on her foot
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to laugh.
<SPoC> <Dias> Sweet. Now you can't kill me until after you experienced life.
<DeathStar> <X> You hope.
* Marcus` slides his hands around her waist. "I'm sure there's no problem too great." He says, leaning forward slightly.
<SPoC> <Dias> You shook me hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina giggles a bit. "So you're Superman now?"
<DeathStar> 6* X just crosses her arms. "We'll see now."
<Kit> 6Chii recoils and becomes even more embarassed, turning away and crossing her arms indignantly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl laughs harder, apparantly enjoying herself.
<SPoC> <Dias> Plus, if you don't try to kill me, I might be able to get you out of here.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well, atleast give you some free roaming range.
<DeathStar> <X> ... Fine. I won't try to kill you while you try to get me out of here.
<DeathStar> 6* Scar smokes a cig on Sal's bed.
<Marcus`> Maybe without the tights. *He smiles and then leans in the final way for a kiss*
<Kit> 6Lilith arrives at the holding area, staring at the guards. Holding Raquel.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina returns the kiss, a really good kisser in her own right by now.
* Sally`Wolf smokes one with him, panting a little. She grins at him.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards are sampling cookies and ice cream, not even watching Dias and X.
<SPoC> 6With as many people as she's slept with, she should be.
<Kit> 6Lilith inconspicuously... walks in, without really being sneaky or anything.
<Kit> <Chii> ....H-Hrmph..
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves over, leaning a bit against Chii's back. "Serves you right."
* Marcus` slowly pulls back after a nice long kiss. "Wow." he manages to say.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles back. "Agreed."
<SPoC> <Dias> So what other fine delicacies should we get you to try?
* Sally`Wolf eyes Scar up and down, "Got enough in you for another go handsome?"
<DeathStar> <X> I find the prison food appealing enough
<Kit> <Chii> ..." 6Looks over her shoulder at Cheryl, pouting.
<DeathStar> <Scar> You should probably shower and get ready, luv.
<SPoC> <Dias>S Screw that. I'm so getting you some chinese food.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grins back at her, probably trying to act cute for the first time ever.
<DeathStar> <X> Chinese food? Is that made with chinese people?
* Sally`Wolf pouts and nods, putting out her cig and getting up, taking her time to stretch.
<Kit> 6Chii slowly stops scowling, trying to smile back.
<SPoC> 6Dias ' jaw drops and he shakes his head regaining his composure. 1"No."
<Marcus`> Yeah? *he gets a slight smile* Guess I don't need to be so nervous after all.
<DeathStar> <X> I see.
<SPoC> <Dias> You'd eat people?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Of course not. Here. 6* She leans in for another kiss
<DeathStar> <X> No.
<DeathStar> 6* X looks at him like he were disgusting now
<SPoC> <Dias> Than why would you ask that?
* Marcus` would gladly accept another kiss.
<DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She glances away, embarrassed. "It sounded like it was."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to go now, perhaps sensing Chii's not into smiles right now.
<SPoC> <Dias> ...I guess I never thought about it that way. 6He scratches his chin, deep in thought.
<Kit> 6Chii leans over and yanks on Cheryl's arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her by glancing back
<DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She looks justified a bit now, eating another cookie
<Kit> 6Chii slides up and kisses her, then pulls back to put her off balance and hits the door open button, running down the hall in a towel to her own room.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...what are they doing?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares after her.
<Kit> <Lilith> I believe they are sampling delicacies like the guards.
<DeathStar> 6* Scott watches Chii.
<DeathStar> <Scott> Want to go on a date?
* Sally`Wolf pulls on her underthings and a shirt, and goes to get showered.
<SPoC> <Dias> There's a whole galaxy full of different flavors of foods to eat.
<Kit> 6Chii totally freaks out and leaps sideways, slamming her side against the wall and groaning.
<DeathStar> 6* Scott stares at her, rushing over to 'help' her.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: EarthGov Special Hanger
<DeathStar> 6* The team has been brought, with their supplies, to the hanger with their shuttle.
<Kulix> *Xril towers over the team, toting his oversized guns
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands to the side, a bit flushed in the face, arms crossed.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander Cran stands there, talking with Paladin in quiet tones, as Pope and others load the shuttle.
* Myria is now known as cassandra`
<SPoC> 6Dias crosses his arms, flexing his guns slightly. He glances at Cheryl now. 1"You're face is all red. You sick or something?"
<Marcus`> * Theron stands off to the right, hand resting on the hilt of his katana. He peers about.
* cassandra` is now known as Cassandra`
* Sally`Wolf stands in her tact suit and full armor, new guns strapped over her back along with her signature cannon. She eyes Xril up and down oddly.
<Kit> 6Dawn helps load the shuttle. Chii stretches in a corner.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks. "Huh? No. Fuck no. I don't get sick."
<SPoC> 6Dias scruntches his face then sniffs. 1"Oh.....OH!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh?
<SPoC> <Dias> Ho ho ho.
<Kulix> *Xril glances at Sally " Need something? "
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands around, looking loose and pleased, with a bit of an afterglow
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... what the fuck are you hoing about?
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Theron! *runs up to him*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him, getting a dangerous look.
* Sally`Wolf grins at him and almost purrs as she looks at his face. "Oh no, just thinking."
<Marcus`> * Theron pauses and glances at Myria, he blinks. "M-Miss Myria?"
* Marcus` stands a bit to the side of Kat, suited up and all that, he peers about, scratching his cheek.
<SPoC> <Dias> That somebody got some action. 6He nods non-chalantly towards Katrina
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Remember your promise!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks, then looks over. "You can smell that?"
<SPoC> <Dias> It's my second power next to my Lesdar.
<Marcus`> * Theron pauses and bows his head. "I shall do so."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Wait, who did she have sex with? 6* She eyes Chii
<Kit> <Chii> In other words you just sense sex. How lame.
<Kit> 6Chii gives Cheryl an odd look, then just nudges her and gestures to whom is standing close to Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin finishes with Cran, moving to the shuttle.
<SPoC> 6Dias shifts slightly towards Chii sniffing. 1"Oh ho ho ho.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias sniffing her, eyes widening. "You smell sex on her?" 6* She pauses, then glances at Marcus ,then Chii
<Kulix> *Xrill follows after Paladin " Still thinking about our conversation? " he says, speaking to Sally
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Dias. 1"If he does, that 'dar thing is broke, too. I bathe in rose petals. Something I picked up from Freyja."
<Cassandra`> 6<12Myria6> Ok! You promised! *skips out of sight*
<Sally`Wolf> * Sally blinks a bit and nods, "Yeah, a little."
<Marcus`> * Theron pauses and then leans forward and kisses Myria on the forehead before she can leave. Then nods and turns ot enter the shuttle.
<SPoC> <Dias> Maybe...6He leans towards Cheryl now, sniffing again
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin steps onto the shuttle, getting into the co-pilot seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks as he sniffs her. His lesbian radar would certainly not go off with her.
* Cassandra` boards the shuttle and then straps herself in.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... are you... sniffing me?
* SPoC steps onto the shuttle and takes a seat int he back
* Marcus` watches Dias and Cheryl and them, and then gives Kat a smile as he moves to get on the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stretches, smiling at Marcus as well, and gets onto the shuttle, taking a seat
<SPoC> <Dias> Maybe. 6He moves his hands behind his back, getting an interested look. 1"You're hiding something."
<Kit> 6Dawn moves up into the shuttle and begins running start-up sequences since Dias is busy.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I am not! I didn't have sex at all today! All I did was get a bath!
* Marcus` takes a seat near Kat and pulls up his datapad, peering at it casually.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares, snarls, and moves into the shuttle
* Sally`Wolf takse a seat by Xril on the shuttle. "You thought about what I said any?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Who said anything about sex? 6He moves up after her and heads to the front of the shuttle
<Marcus`> * Theron takes a seat and sits back, closing his eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes a seat, fuming
<Kit> 6Chii finishes stretching and moves inward. 1"Want to borrow rose oil, Cheryl? Or I could find something else to knock him out. Devised something back in the day for guard dogs."
<SPoC> 6Dias stops, eyeing Dawn. 1"Dude?!" 6He looks at Paladain, a confused yet hurt look on his face
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I-I don't want oil
<DeathStar> <Paladin> You were late. 6* He states.
<Kit> 6Dawn eyes Dias as he speaks, then gets up, so Dias can take over. He moves for a side seat and begins running checks and daily procedures on his datapads.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Cheryl and Chii, tapping her chin, and gives Chii a devil smile
<Kulix> <Xril> Yes, but I disagree.
<SPoC> 6Dias sniffles, pouting then beams like a child who got a toy. He hops onto the shuttle and flips all the switches on, avoiding the boring checks
* Marcus` catches Katrina's smile and follows her gaze to Chii and Cheryl, he pauses and then glances at Kat again, then them again.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Before we go. 6* He turns to face them all. "Remember, don't hurt civilians. We're not here to get revenge. We're here to do a mission.
<Kulix> <Xril> While something is to be said for those who attempt fervently, at the end of the day, theres only winners, and losers.
<SPoC> <Dias> So which buttons does the light engine thing? 6He looks to Paladin
<Kit> 6Dawn gazes toward Katrina. <Thought so.>
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin raises the ramp, then points at the red button
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <Thought so?>
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Dawn
<SPoC> <Dias> This is going to fucking rock. 6He goes to hit it and pauses. 1"We can use this in here, right?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Get us into space before you use it. They've already pre-mapped out the locations.
<SPoC> <Dias> Gotcha. 6He lifts the shuttle up and heads out the hanger exit, heading for space.
<Marcus`> Let's hope it doesn't break like it did for Warren.
<SPoC> Am I correct to believe we will be utilizing the self-destruct after we land?
<Kit> <Dawn> <As I pointed out in the meeting. The reason Paladin would accept this kind of mission. Likely because although the success is slim, if it succeeds, it not only saves countless of Earth lives, but Ridarium as well. We could end the tension between us and the Ridarium with an intelligent and bold move-- crippling the Dark One alliance.>
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> <You're right. Paladin doesn't seem like a man who likes meaningless death.>
<Sally`Wolf> "Yeah, but there's also the paths you take to achieve victory."
<Sally`Wolf> "Yah know... like signing up with the Dark Ones."
<SPoC> Understood sir.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope smokes a cig, watching the fly away.
<SPoC> <Dias> Ooh another question.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Yes?
<Marcus`> So with the light thing, it'll not take days upon days and all that, right?
<SPoC> <Dias> This isn't going to knock us all out, is it?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I don't know. I've never used the Light engine.
<SPoC> <Dias> Ahh crap.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It'll take seconds, Marcus.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Yeah? Neat."
<Kit> <Chii> Heheheheh.
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, we can expect to be knocked out if they haven't improved it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii slowly
<Kit> 6Chii looks like a kid in a candy store.
<SPoC> <Dias> Ok..Ok...I can handle it. I'll just make my body not get knocked out.
<DeathStar> 6* They reach space.
<Kulix> <Xril> Luckily thats not the only path. Like allying yourself with earthlings.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head. "Fucking creepy."
<SPoC> 6Dias let's go of the controls briefly as he wiggles his fingers and takes a deep breath. 1"We ready?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Yes.
<Kit> 6Dawn nods, shutting off his pads and securing them to his belt.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl braces herself with the chair
<Kit> 6Chii grins at Cheryl. 1"It's a dangerous mission. It's going to be fun!"
* Marcus` pauses at Cheryl and then braces himself as well.
<SPoC> 6Dias nods, and takes another deep breath. He sets in their designation and then hits the Light Engine activation button.
<DeathStar> 6* WHAM
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone, except Dias, would awaken to disorientation. Cheryl with her face in Chii's lap, Katrina slumped against Marcus. Sally on Xril. Everyone else would be normal. Dias would note they were all out for 15 seconds.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin holds his head as he readjusts himself.
* Marcus` slowly lifts his head up, having just dropped back.
* Sally`Wolf blinks a bit, looking at Xril below her. "Not the worst face to wake up to."
<SPoC> 6Dias looks back at the three couples, an amused look
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl groans
<Kit> 6Chii wobbles. 1"...Wh-what the fuck?"
<Kit> 6Dawn shakes his head, squinting.
<SPoC> <Dias> You guys were all out an hour. 6He looks back ahead
<Marcus`> * Theron stirs, and quietly sits up. Hiding any effects upon himself.
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead is a giant rock like planet. Bigger than Earth by a few sizes.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> ... 6* He eyes the chronometer, then Dias.
<SPoC> <Dias> ...Fine 15 seconds.
* Marcus` slowly glances at Kat and reaches out to nudge her. "Y'alright there, darlin?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks, sitting up. "Yes. Just messed with my head."
<Kulix> <Xril>Ugh.. *He sits up in his seat, shaking his head a bit. " Thanks. I guess.." he narrows his eyes at the approaching planet. Game time.
* SPoC shakes her head, her eyes opening.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well here comes the warm-up. 6He puts the shuttle to full throttle and heads towards the planet
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lifts her face from Chii's lap.
<Marcus`> I have that effect on ladies. *he notes with a slight laugh*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives a slight smile, still reorienting herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin reaches over, resetting Cassandra
* Marcus` winces and holds his head when he laughs.
<Kit> 6Chii glances toward Marcus, sneering. 1"Man, I have to wake up to that..?"
* Sally`Wolf climbs off Xril and sits beside him.
<Marcus`> Shh Chii. Don't yell.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is glad Chii was focused on Marcus and not her.
<DeathStar> 6* As they approach the massive planet, sensors begin to pick up blips heading from the planet towarad them.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Beware of un-falling rocks.
<SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, I'm well aware of that
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin leans over, activating their cloak
<Kit> 6Chii twitches, then shakes her head again. 1"What'd I just say?"
<Cassandra`> What's the gravity like on that...rock?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If Earth's gravity is a 1, it's a 1.5
<SPoC> <Dias> A cloak? If only I knew a minute ago. I could've turned it on right away.
<Marcus`> Oh yeah? That'll mess with our shots, won't it?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> It took a few minutes to work after the engine.
<Kulix> <Xril> We'll have to adjust for balistics, then.
<SPoC> 6Dias begins adjusting ther course so he's well out of the range of the incomings
<DeathStar> 6* Flying rocks pass them by, having lost their lock
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Major cities are made from rock, so it makes it hard to tell them apart. But it should be the largest city. We should land a few miles away, though, and work our way there.
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh. I knew that.
<DeathStar> 6* As they get in closer, they can make out lots of craters, canyons, mountains, cliffs, and indeed, cities made of rock
<SPoC> 6Dias levels the shuttle off as he flies
<Sally`Wolf> "Working our way through a city of Ridariums... sounds fun."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances, then points at a canyon in what the computer classifies as Sector 7-Y. "There. Land in that canyon."
* SPoC barrel rolls the shuttle that way and heads into the canyon.
<SPoC> NRP: Dias
<Cassandra`> You are sure this is a canyon, right?
<DeathStar> <PAladin> What do you mean?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances back.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well it could be a giant ridarium mouth.
<SPoC> <Dias> Like what if the entire planet was a Ridarium.
<Cassandra`> Or the other end.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I don't know. If the entire planet was a Ridiarium, it won't matter where we land.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> At least the canyon will hide us.
<SPoC> <Dias> That'd be kind of cool. In a creepy impending death kind of way.
<Kulix> <Xril> A ridarium that size must be worth atleast what? Two kills? *he calls towards the cockpit in jest
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina suddenly grabs her head, yelping in pain.
<SPoC> 6Dias brings the shuttle down to a safe landing spot.
<Cassandra`> Katrina?
* SPoC looks over at Kat now.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> D-Dark Ones...looking for us...mentally...
<SPoC> It would be prudent to knock her unconcious
* Marcus` places a hand on Katrina's shoulder. "You going to be ok?"
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin frowns, not liking that. "Are you unable to fight them?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I-I should be...I'm forcing them out.
<SPoC> <Dias> Does that mean they know were here?
<DeathStar> 6* There's a stirring in Chii's stomach. Evil.
* Marcus` tightens his grip slightly, more to reaffirm that he's there.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think so.
<Kit> 6Chii grimaces, clutching at her heart.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Chii. "You okay?"
<Kit> 6Dawn moves over and puts a hand on Katrina, trying to help by imprinting some of the labyrinthine-manner of defense he's been working on.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> They'll be looking for us, so we need to move carefully.
<SPoC> 6Dias stands up, cracking his knuckles. 1"Fun fun."
<DeathStar> 6* When DAwn this, he'd suddenly feel fingers digging into his mind, intent on devouring control
<Kit> <Chii> That prick...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Who?
<Kulix> *Xril stands, heading up to the cockpit. he looks over the landscape, judging the level of cover immediately available on the landing site for the team to pass through undetected.\
<Cassandra`> Well, looks like there are Dark Ones on the planet.
<Kit> <Chii> No shit, woman.
<DeathStar> 6* They're in a canyon that's about wide enough for 3 people to walk side by side, and 50 meters high
<Marcus`> <Theron> That is to be expected. *he stands*
<Kit> 6Chii winces at Cheryl. 1"Asmodeous..."
<DeathStar> 6* The begin to take control of Dawn
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks worried, rubbing her shoulder.
<Kit> 6Dawn keeps backing up in his head before letting go of Katrina, somewhat wide-eyed.
* Marcus` pauses and glances at Dawn. "Uh. Just flail like mad if you need me to knock you out." He tells him.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Dawn? Just ... try to work on a low level of power. The less power you use, the less they can find you
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rises, looking better, except being slightly pale.
<SPoC> 6Dias slips past Xril and looks at Marcus. 1"Or you could tell me. I'll knock you out too."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin works on the self-destruct codes for the shuttle.
<Marcus`> That was a mime joke, wasn't it?
<Kit> 6Dawn eyes Katrina crazedly, then twitches trying to work on what she's saying. He's mostly dormant anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* It stops almost immediately. It seems they only detected him because he was imprinting.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Okay, everyone off the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin hits the button, starting a count down
<Sally`Wolf> "Oh good."
* SPoC nods and grabs her gera moving out quickly.
<SPoC> 6Dias makes his way off now.
* Sally`Wolf grabs her gear and moves out fast.
<Cassandra`> Move out!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rises, pulling Chii onto her back and carrying her out piggy back style
* Cassandra` heads out of there at a quick pace.
<Kulix> *Xril scans the area as he steps off the shuttle, his gun aimed as he sweeps the area, moving
<Kit> 6Dawn brings up his datapad, holding it out for Katrina. [Sorry. I won't be able to talk here like I have grown accustomed with you, it seems. Good thing the talents I've been working on are instinctually triggered rather than active or... I'd have been overwhelmed.]
<Kit> <Chii> Wh-what are you doing..!?" 6She chokes, groaning slightly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I understand. We'll work on working under the wire.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves out
<Marcus`> * Theron shits to step out. Marcus isn't far behind.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Carrying my bond partner because she's hurting. 6* She says in a baby tone.
<Kulix> *Xril crouches as he moves, making his large Tsiv frame as small as possible
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin exits.
<Kit> <Chii> Gh! Don't patronize me, young lady!
<SPoC> What is the blast radius going to be?
<Kit> 6Dawn picks up the hybrid sniper rifle and follows Katrina and Paladin.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> None.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> At least I don't look like a young lady.
<SPoC> Interesting.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh that... grrr...
<DeathStar> 6* The stirring stops finally in Chii
<Kit> 6Chii takes revenge by not telling Cheryl, who'd probably drop her the instant she knew.
<Kulix> *He spins, aiming underneath the shuttle, watching for approaching Ridarium as he backpedals "Bastards could be anywhere in this landscape. Anyone of us could be standing on one of them right now.."
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle begins to melt.
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh that's cool. 6He looks at Xril. 1"Take a chill pill."
<Sally`Wolf> "That's... a neat self destruct."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Thank you. 6* He says, a bit of pride in his tone.
<Marcus`> <Theron> Most impressive, General. *he nods, then raises his rifle, glancing around*
<SPoC> <Dias> You got me to take them out. 6He pats Xril on the shoulder and looks to Paladin. 1"Which way?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin checks his weapon, then opens a satchel of grenades, handing them out to everyone - 2 each - except for Chii
<Kit> <Chii> ...Hey!
<Kit> 6Chii fumes. 1"What's up with that..!?"
* SPoC attaches them to her waist.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Ask Theron if you want some.
<SPoC> It is because you have harmed to many with them.
<Kit> 6Dawn studies them before attaching them to his belts.
<Cassandra`> Firebug.
<Kulix> *Xril takes them, placing them on his belt " packing a bit light, dont you think? "
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Cassandra. 1"What'd you call me!?"
* Sally`Wolf puts hers away and checks over her plasma rifle.
<Marcus`> * Theron adjusts himself, since he has a larger supply for his rifle. He glances at Chii momentarily.
<SPoC> 6Dias blinks at SPoC and shakes his head and then looks at Paladin. 1"Pull the pins, right?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I'll hand out more later.
* Marcus` pockets them. "Yeah, man."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Actually, just flick the switch to activate them.
<Cassandra`> And that temper.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Then hit the button
* Marcus` pauses and pulls his back out. "Oh these are different."
<Kit> <Chii> When we get home I'm so taking you out, can opener.
<SPoC> <Dias> ...Sounds complicated. 6He slips them in his pockets
<Cassandra`> Focus on the mission.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin turns, taking point, leading them down the canyon
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jars Chii by bouncing and moving out
<Kit> <Chii> Fuck you, miss high and mighty--agh!
<SPoC> 6Dias follows, moving behind Paladin.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves along, near the backish middle
* Cassandra` starts moving after Paladin.
<SPoC> I would be wise to keep your talking to a low tone and to a minimum. 6She takes up the rear
* Sally`Wolf moves after Paladin, keeping behind Cassandra.
<Kit> 6Dawn trails the team, even SPoC, by a length, his rifle shouldered and gazing about calmly.
* Marcus` walks along after Kat.
<Marcus`> * Theron moves without a particular order, his eyes peer about for some shifty rocks.
<SPoC> 6SPoC sadly would wait for Dawn to move infront of her.
* Exio has joined #taw
<Kit> 6Dawn sadly would just stare at her, since it's the most advantageous spot for him.
* Kulix has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Exio is now known as Kulix
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hold on tight, Chii. I don't want you falling off.
* SPoC stares at him, blinking.
<Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes and wraps her arms around Cheryl's chest.
<SPoC> 6Dias blinks, looking behind him
* Marcus` glances over Kat's shoulder at the two and whispers. "They really?" He asks her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers a bit
<Kit> 6Dawn continues to stare, then gazes toward the group and gestures. Jerking a thumb toward his rifle.
<SPoC> <Dias> I think my lesdar is pinging...
<DeathStar> 6* SPoC and Dawn are left behind as the group leaves sight
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really what?
<SPoC> 6SPoC turns, moving after the others, moving fast enough to catch up.
<Marcus`> Together.
<Kit> 6Dawn adopts a brisk pace to follow.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you. 6* She notes, no meanness to her tone
* Cassandra` moves on, assault rifle raised and ready.
<SPoC> 6Dias scratches the back of his head and shrugs, looking ahead of him again
<Marcus`> Fine, fine. *he pouts slightly, shifting back up*
<DeathStar> 6* As they continue out, they would see a medium sized Ridiarium in the canyon, collecting rock flowers.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin holds up his hand when he sees it
* Cassandra` stops.
<SPoC> 6Dias stops, looking around with confusion
<Marcus`> * Theron slows to a stop, he kneels slightly.
<Kit> 6Dawn shifts up against the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kneels as well
* SPoC kneels down, bringing her rifle up and aiming at the ridarium.
* Marcus` stops and pauses, he glances around, but since there probably ins't a place to hide, he just kneels to make hismelf less noticable.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin studies the Ridiarium. It turns to face them, coming to a stop as it's black void eyes peer at them
<Kit> 6Dawn watches the canyon tops.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ...
* Marcus` frowns, since they are spotted.
<DeathStar> 6* It reers back now, grabbing rock from the canyon
<Kulix> *Xril takes a shot at its eye
<Marcus`> * Theron jerks to stop Xril from firing completely.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridiarium is hit in the eye, letting out a mild roar that doesn't sound that threatening and falls back
<Kulix> <Xril> It was that, or expose our position.
* SPoC frowns slightly.
<SPoC> <Dias> Dude, it was picking flowers.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Great. We just killed a kid.
<Marcus`> * Theron hisses. "You moron."
<Cassandra`> *mutter* ...just like a Tsivirxsh...
<SPoC> <Dias> I think it was flowers. It was picking rocks ok?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin whirls, grabbing Xril's gun, slamming him against the canyon wall. "I said not to shoot civilians!"
* Marcus` sighs.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves to kneel beside the Ridiarium, checking on it.
<Kulix> *Xril glances at Paladin and sighs
<SPoC> 6Dias moves over to Kat, just in case it get's all hulk on her.
* Sally`Wolf sighs.
<Kulix> <Xril> I know what you said, sir. But it had knowledge of our position. would you rather risk getting the team killed?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> You will not shoot until I order it. Do you understand me?
<SPoC> 6Dias looks over at Kat. 1"It dead?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It was a lucky shot. Or it was too young to withstand it. I sense no brain patterns.
* Marcus` steps up by Dias and glances down at it. "Wow man...that's lame."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances to the side, apparantly not bothered by the scene, other than her one remark.
<Kulix> <Xril> Yes sir.
* Cassandra` rubs the bridge of her nose.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin lets go, not caring if the Tsivrixsh is bigger than him and could break him.
<Kulix> *Xril eyes the gun against the ground, likely damaged
<SPoC> <Dias> Great. 6He sighs, not happy at all
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin held onto the gun with one hand, using his other to slam him
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin thrusts the gun back into Xril's chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin turns to look at the body, making a cross motion
<DeathStar> 6* Then moves on. "Come on people."
* SPoC tilts her head slightly at Paladin
<Marcus`> * Theron studiens Paladin and then moves after him.
<SPoC> 6Dias turns, moving after Paladin again
* Sally`Wolf sighs again and looks at the kid, tapping her forehead before following.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs, still kneeling there, looking upset.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves on.
<Kulix> *Xril takes the gun, watching Katrina and the child, unmoving
* Cassandra` sighs and moves forward after the rest.
* Marcus` glances at them pass them by, then kneels by her. "Come'on Kat. There's nothing you could do."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands up, letting out her breath. She doesn't direct ill will at Xril, but mainly seems upset at the death itself
* SPoC resumes following the others
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves along, leaning a bit into Marcus
* Marcus` pats her shoudler lightly, a frown on his face.
<Kit> 6Dawn follows along, rubbing his neck. Then resume scouting the canyon edges and keeping an eye on their tail.
<Kit> 6Chii bites her lip a bit, eyeing Paladin.
<Kulix> *Xril continues after them, guarding the team from approaching Ridarium
<DeathStar> 6* They travel for many hours in the canyon, until they reach an area they can climb up and back onto main land. Paladin holds up a hand. "We'll camp here for now and beak."
<Cassandra`> Yes, sir.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves over and climbs up the canyon to look around.
<SPoC> We will be approaching during night than?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a seat, leaning against a canyon wall.
<Kit> 6Dawn follows Paladin.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kneels down, letting Chii off without much of a thud
<Kit> 6Chii reclines, feeling pretty good.
<SPoC> 6Dias plops down on a rock and sighs, bored now.
<Sally`Wolf> "Sounds good to me... this world has a nighttime... right?"
* SPoC looks around their area, studying it
* Marcus` rubs his head and shifts to sit by Kat, pulling his arms behind his head. "I kind of like this place."
<Marcus`> * THeron leans against the canyon wall, arms crossed.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits. "Yeah. We just can't see the sun well." 6* She doesn't look winded, but her energy has dipped slightly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6* She seems distant, thinking
<Kulix> <Xril> Any estimate of how far we are from our destination?
* Marcus` glances at her slightly. "Kat?"
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin reaches the top, peering about in all directions, too high above the others to hear them, 'cept for Dawn
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hmm? 6* She looks up.
<Marcus`> You uh, alright?
<Kit> 6Dawn scales up next to him, eyeing him then slowly taking in a gaze with caution.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes. I was just thinking
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm bored.
<DeathStar> 6* Dawn would see a plain of rock as far as the eye can see, with, far away, what seems to be mountains, but is the city
<Marcus`> Oh sorry. *he pulls up his cantina and offers it out towards her* Water?
<Kit> 6Dawn ducks back down and sighs a bit.
<Kit> 6Chii glances at Cheryl. 1"You been here before?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles, taking it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Even a fucked up Dragoon like me took part of the battle here.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, slipping into her own dark places.
* Cassandra` takes a seat on the ground at the foot of the canyon wall.
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah. With that prick you told me about.
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms, scowling.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves back down
* Marcus` rests his head back slightly. "I wonder if they ever get sick of rocks?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina drinks her water
<Kit> 6Dawn scales with, then moves over and sits at the edge of the gathering, cradling his weapon. With one hand he pulls out the two datapads, setting one to scan the atmosphere and conditions around them, the other he begins pulling up records, researching the last conflict.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I wonder how many more innocents we'll kill in order to take this planet... 6* She notes, her tone not happy.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well I won't take any of their lives.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah? How will you tell them apart?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lifts her head up, forcing dark memories from her mind
<Marcus`> I-*he pauses* I don't know. If it is up to me, then none. But war...yeah it's unpredictable.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'll figure it out.
<Kulix> *Xril sits against a canyon wall, his rifle propped against his shoulder as he watches the team in silence.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. That'll be interesting, when you get civilians trying to stop us and take us down for their homeworld. People like Chad and Zephyr, not affiliated, but willing to fight
<Kit> 6Chii stares at Cheryl, trying to catch some of those memories while she's not paying attention.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii would indeed. We'll let her see in a mini later, since it would take up too much room in main
<SPoC> <Dias> Than I'll just knock them out.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Like I said. How will you tell them apart?
<Kit> <Chii> ...Knock out a rock?
<Marcus`> Guess that he means he has to knock them all out.
<SPoC> <Dias> The ones that attack me?
<Kit> <Chii> Is that possible?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Like I said. Civilians might attack you to protect their city.
<SPoC> <Dias> And I'll knock them out.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yet you'll kill the military ones, though they look identical?
<SPoC> 6Dias blinks now. 1"Oh. Now I get it.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin sits down, glancing at Cheryl, frowning
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> When it gets down to it, you can never be sure.
<Marcus`> It is bad that they don't wear some type of clothes or something to distinguish themselves.
<SPoC> <Dias> I could try to ask them.
<Kulix> <Xril> No, its good. The perfect camouflage. *he says to Marcus
<Marcus`> I meant bad for us. *he notes*
* Sally`Wolf takes a seat and slowly pulls off her weapons. "Damn this shit is heavy on hikes."
<SPoC> <Dias> You know hate thinking Cheryl. Why would you make me think?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Because if you're going to be a hero, you have to think. 6* She glances to the side, clearly remembering something
<Kit> 6Chii peers down at the ground, then to Cheryl, then turns, lying on her side, using one of her satchels for a pillow.
<Cassandra`> Heavy gear has always been the soldier's bane.
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes her. 1"So now it's ok for me to be a hero?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts, shrugging. "Be what you want to be."
<SPoC> <Dias> A hero's power comes from people that believe in him.
<Marcus`> Jeez, man. I bet you have like no powers then.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Sure. I know this. I'm no hero. 6* She says, then climbs up the canyon to get away.
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes her then stands up, climbing after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin watches her go, probably knowing what's bugging her from reading mission reports.
<Kit> 6Chii sits up, then notices Dias, grinds her teeth and lies back down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches the top, taking a seat and keeping watch
* Marcus` just frowns slightly and glances up at the sky. "Funny, I never dreamed I would travel to other planets."
<SPoC> 6Dias grabs the ledge and throws himself up and over, plopping down beside her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmm. Too bad it couldn't be in better circumstances.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts her eyes to glance at him without moving her head, then back out
* SPoC finally sits down and pulls out her notebook and a pencil. She begins drawing. 1"Did you not travel on the PAX2, Marcus?"
<SPoC> <Dias> Brings back bad memories, huh?
<Marcus`> I did. But i'm talking about as a kid. *he glances at Kat* Yeah, it seems my only sightseeing adventures are during missions.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not like I have many memories besides bad ones. Not to be emo. Just a fact.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, maybe one day you can travel the galaxy and see it. It's a wonderful place.
<SPoC> 6Dias nods. 1"I can only make a rough guess what happened here, so I won't pry unless you want to tell me."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'd rather not talk about it.
<Marcus`> Maybe if i'm smooth enough, I can convince you to join me. *he notes*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe. 6* She says with a smile.
<SPoC> <Dias> You know what the worst part of not remembering things is? 6He glances over at her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just don't think it'll be easy when you get to that city. That you'll escape it without making a blunder that costs some innocent their life so you or those around you can live.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Dias. "What?"
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin mumbles something, a verse of some sorts.
* Marcus` smirks and lets out a breath. "Oh how you tease." He notes slightly overdramatic.
<SPoC> <Dias> That I don't know what terrible things I could have done.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles a bit more.
* Sally`Wolf looks over at Paladin.
<Sally`Wolf> "What was that? Religion?"
<SPoC> I believe it was Catholic. 6She looks over at Paladin
<Marcus`> * Theron shifts. "A Paladin is a pious warrior." he notes.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Hm? Yes. A verse from the bible. Jesus telling a crowd that wants to stone a woman, that if any among them be without sin, to cast it.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> And of course, no one could.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Dias, then ahead. "Forgetting wouldn't be so bad."
<SPoC> <Dias> You think so? 6He looks at her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
<Marcus`> Remind me to show you some pictures after this is all over with. *he says after a while, to Katrina*
<Sally`Wolf> "Mmm... so who threw it?"
<Kulix> *Xril glances at the religious conversation, having no idea what the humans are talking about
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods once.
<SPoC> 6Dias nods. 1"I don't like not knowing I guess. Maybe that's why I strive to save so many lives. To make up for what I may have done."
* Sally`Wolf looks confused.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> None of them cast it. Because they all had sin. And they were in no position to take another's life because she had sinned.
<Sally`Wolf> "Him?"
<Sally`Wolf> "Ah."
<Kit> 6Dawn eyes Paladin again, then returns to his solitary place, studying.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmm. I guess that's better than some people's reasons. 6* Probably herself.
<Sally`Wolf> "So... who kills evildoers then?"
<Marcus`> <Theron> No one. As killing is a sin.
<SPoC> <Dias> You're a good person Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *Snorts*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You and I both know better than that. I'm not saying I'm evil incarnate, but I'm hardly good.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods once. "It's for God to judge them after death. Sadly, we can't always wait for that, can we? But it's always important to know what's in our hearts before we attempt to judge other's."
<SPoC> <Dias> Good is relative. If we want to base things off our actions. I have been known to partake in some criminal acts before.
<Kit> <Chii> Duh. Hence the guy that keeps showing up to ruin your life.
<Kit> 6Chii appears to be talking to herself.
<Sally`Wolf> "I see... well... I'll keep that in mind."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm.
<Kulix> <Xril> There are my pack, and there are my prey. Its the way of nature, universally. *He says towards Paladin
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm no saint Cheryl. But i feel that it's our intentions that matter.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Only for those who wish to look at the world negatively, Xrileshir. And don't wish to change it for the better.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I agree.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm not saying I'll kill innocents to do it, but if I have to knock some around I will.
<Kulix> <Xril> I dont know.. when your ontop of the world, it seems pretty positive.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. Then you're better than me.
<Kit> 6Chii shifts slightly.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> And for those under you?
<SPoC> <Dias> Or maybe you're better than me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hardly.
<Kulix> <Xril> They should hope not to cross their superiors. *he says, looking away from Paladin
<SPoC> <Dias> The whole the life of one outweights a million.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin shakes his head.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. But that's a pessimist view, isn't it? Hardly befitting a hero
<Marcus`> <Theron> It is that barbarism that has kept this galaxy in war for such a time.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> May I ask you a question, Xrileshir?
<Kulix> <Xril> Certainly, miss Katrina.
<SPoC> <Dias> That's when the funamental question of, my life over the others.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If that is your view, then the Dark Ones are your superiors, so are you not crossing them by not being content to let your people rest under their heel in the glory they're achieving?
<Kulix> <Xril> True, but as I said. There are my pack, and there are my prey.
<Kulix> <Xril> The dark ones may be above us, but they are not my pack.
<Kulix> <Xril> In time, they will be my prey.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Your people have accepted them. You have no pack now.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hmmms, glancing back down at Chii below them
<Kulix> <Xril> You. All of you, are my new pack.
<Kulix> <Xril> Atleast... as far as this Tsiv is concerned.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But in time, won't we become your prey? 6* She notes, not harsh tone to her words.
<Kit> 6Chii mumbles. 1"Maybe he isn't so bad."
<SPoC> <Dias> I don't like taking innocent lives. When it's humans, it's easy to knock them out. When it's Ridariums, it's harder. Maybe if i can figure out how to control my powers I can avoid needless deaths.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe. 6* She glances ahead, then says in an amused tone. "Think you'll try to woe the Weapon girl with your idealogy? You'd make a cute couple."
<SPoC> 6Dias raises an eyebrow. 1"I don't know. Apparently you weren't lieing that I have knack for getting attractive woman to want to kill me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I wasn't. But if anyone could get through to her, you could.
<Kulix> <Xril> That depends whether or not you decide to remain my pack.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well I think I've got her to avoid killing me for awhile.
<Marcus`> <Theron> In my experiences, the Tsiv use others until they achieve their goal, then they betray them to gain more. Can you say that you are so different, when you take pride in yourself?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Our ways at looking at life are different. Our goals are different. Once we're done with your people, and the Dark Ones, what will keep you from deciding we're a nuisance?
<Kulix> <Xril> Respect.
<SPoC> <Dias> And hey, if I can get her to live life and experience new things. Than I've succeeded.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's good. I hope you can get through to her. You can be close to her.
<Kit> 6Dawn holds a hand out toward Xrilreshir, not that anyone's paying attention, and makes a motion with his hand suggesting gun recoil.
<Kulix> <Xril> In my time with you humans I have learned something.. despite your size, and frailness, Humans can be competetent warriors as well.
<Marcus`> Some better than you, buddy boy. *he smirks*
<SPoC> <Dias> You have an ulterior motive behind that statement, don't you?
<Kulix> <Xril> Its how you present yourselves. If you prove yourselves as a warrior race- then the Tsiv empire would receive considerable losses dealing with you
<Kulix> <Xril> A price not worth paying.
<Kulix> <Xril> They allied with the dark ones, afterall.
<Kulix> <Xril> Do you think its because we enjoy their company?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Probably not in the way you're thinking. I want you to be happy. And you and I - well. It won't be. So I'd like you to find someone else. And she's like a Cheryl-lite. Young. Weaponized. Killing on the mind.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hmms.
<SPoC> 6Dias let's out a light laugh, smirking. 1"That is what I was thinking really."
<Marcus`> I just don't get how you can speak with such pride about your kind, and yet still betray them.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She glances at Dias, her expression softening. "I'd hate to think just because I turned down your love, you won't offer it to someone else one day."
<SPoC> 6Dias glances down at his arms. 1"That's another day and time I think.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods. "Yeah. I've gotten mushy enough."
<SPoC> <Dias> Oh. I was thinking I have to get past the possibly impending doom thing.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There is that. 6* She pauses. "So, if I had a good boink with Chii, would you think less of me?"
<SPoC> <Dias> That's rhetorical.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, y-yeah.
<SPoC> <Dias> I'm saying you'd only ask me that if you already did it or were really thinking about doing it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth. "...."
<SPoC> <Dias> Honestly. 6He looks at her. 1"Lesbians bore me. But if you want to, it's upto you."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not a lesbian
<SPoC> <Dias> Than why think about having a good boink? 6He looks at her curiously
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl notes dryly. "Besides, 80% of women have sex with other women as an experiment." 6* Apparantly she looked it up for some reason
<Sally`Wolf> "Xril hopes for a better end for his kind, it's nothing small to hope for. He can be prodeful of them even if he disagrees with the actions of his leaders."
<Marcus`> He can hope all he wants. But he still betrayed his kind. There's no sugercoating something like that.
<Sally`Wolf> "And so what? Your unit went against Earth's governement before I came along several times."
<Kulix> <Xril> I dont pretend to be a noble warrior, or a rolemodel for my people.
<Kulix> <Xril> I am a villain. I am no hero.
<Marcus`> Yeah. And we betrayed our people, out intentions were noble, but it makes it nothing else.
<SPoC> 6Dias lets out a puff of air. 1"I wouldn't look at you any differently Cheryl. I just think if you're going to do it. You should do it becaues you want to. Not because Chii pushes you to the point you just do it.
<Sally`Wolf> "And Xril's intentions are equally noble."
<Kulix> <Xril> But.. hopefully with my sacrifice.. I can forge a new path for another hero to walk victoriously
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods once. She reaches out and awkwardly squeezes his shoulder, which is probably the closest she comes to a girly hug
<Marcus`> Didn't say anything to that effect, there Sals.
<Sally`Wolf> "No, you just say everything but it."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin sleeps
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches them, frowning at the emotions
<SPoC> 6Dias glances over at her hand then moves his hand and pats her on the back, smiling slightly.
<Sally`Wolf> "You slam him for doing the same goddamned you've done in the past, it's hypocracy."
* Marcus` just shakes his head. "Yeah, ok. Did I say I thought less of him, no. I just said I found it odd. The Tsiv are honorable, so something like this is just damn odd. So why don't you shut your fucking mouth, as I wasn't even talking to you.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina squeezes Marcus' shoulder, to calm him down, not happy with the emotions
<Kit> <Chii> Why don't you all shut up.
* Marcus` glances at Kat quickly and frowns, "Sorry." He mumbles.
<Kit> 6Chii rubs one of her ears. 1"It's hard to sleep when you're bickering."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets get back down to the others before they kill each other
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns and begins to climb down
<Marcus`> <Theron> Chii. Would desire some ear plugs? *he lifts his head up to peer at her*
<Marcus`> NRP: Would you*
<SPoC> 6Dias rolls backwards and grabs the ledge. He stops beside her. 1"Hey Cheryl."
<Kit> 6Chii is quiet a moment, then sighs. 1"No. Thank you, Theron...."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Dias. "Yeah?"
<Sally`Wolf> "No Marcus, you were talking to a teammate, we're not a collection of people along for your ride. You speak to someone, expect someone else to step in."
<Marcus`> <Theron> Very well. And do not think I have forgot our deal, Miss Chii.
<SPoC> <Dias> If you ever need me, you know I'll be there.
<Kit> 6Chii tosses a small pebble from the canyon floor at Sally, determining her location by sound.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just holds Marcus, hoping he won't say anything more.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. And I'll be there for you, too, Dias.
* Sally`Wolf swats it out of the air.
<Kulix> *Xril stands " I'll leave you two to bicker. " he says, heading towards the perimeter, appearantly not caring whether or not he is thought of as honorable or dis.
<Kit> <Chii> I haven't either. I've been breaking into your room when you're out so I can do it alone, since you didn't give me a key.
<SPoC> <Dias> Well I could use a good rub down. 6He wiggles his eyebrows at her.
* Marcus` narrows his eyes, but with Kat holding him, he keeps his mouth shut, trying to suppress anger, for Kat's sake.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. I'll get Chii to do that.
<SPoC> <Dias> You'd share...For me?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slaps him on the back with her joke, with too much force. "Sure!"
<Marcus`> * Theron arches a brow. "I simply was giving you time before I demanded you hold up your end of the bargain."
<Sally`Wolf> "Yeah, you're pissed off, you probably have plenty to say but you wanna play the good boy, I've tried the good girl route, I'm sick and tired of this."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Quiet, WOlf.
<DeathStar> 6* He speaks suddenly.
* Sally`Wolf looks over at him, but shuts up.
<SPoC> 6Dias eyes go wide as he shifts for the hit causing him to lose his grip. 1"Ahh crap this is going to hurt." 6He proceeds to start falling
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl climbs down
<SPoC> 6Dias slams into the ground. Hard.
* Sally`Wolf gets up and walks a little away, to get out of the stuffy atmosphere.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks relieved when Sal's negative feelings go away.
* Marcus` relaxes now that Sally is gone, the stuffy atmosphere oddly leaving with her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves over, then lays down beside Chii, cuddling up to her back
<Kulix> *Xril is standing in the distance as Sal moves, watching the parimeter for movement
<SPoC> 6Dias just lies there, not moving.
* Marcus` slowly sits up and glances over at Dias. "Hey man, you dead?"
* Sally`Wolf sits somewhere nearby him, grumbling softly.
<SPoC> 6Dias grumbles painfully
<Sally`Wolf> "Shithead always acts like he's in the goddamned right no matter what he says or does, it pisses me off."
<Marcus`> Good thing. That would suck if you were dead. *he leans back*
<DeathStar> 6* As Wolf says this, apparantly detecting them from voices, or their emotions, Ridariums begin to pour of the canyon walls
<SPoC> 6Dias grumbles more, probably a wicked comeback.
<DeathStar> 6* Turning to face Wolf and Xril
<DeathStar> 6* The 12 Ridiariums facing the two lone warriors prepare to attack, NEXT TIME ON TAW4
