<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-582.6.30
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station
<DeathStar> 6* Warren listens to two guards argue about who's job it was to watch hallway 34 on floor 3. He looks bored.
* Seraphna yawns a bit, finishing up on another section of her next design, taking a sip of coffee
* Ry` currently sits in his open room, half of his body hanging off the bed. He made the janitor scrub that damn message off his door, but he's gonna kill those bastards next time he seems them.
<DeathStar> 6* Sera's datapad beeps.
* `Kane sits in his floor, with the case in his hands, he is furiously working to finish his job and open it.
* Seraphna looks down at it
<DeathStar> 6* A message is on her datapad, waiting to be opened. It seems to be from the same phantom sender as the one she got weeks ago
<Slasher> NRP: His floor?!
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: room....don't ask.
<Slasher> NRP: But...I already did...
* Seraphna opens it up, sighing a little
* Xanatos`Durran sits in the security, his head rest upon his hand as he stares at the monitors, ignoring the noise in the background.
* Slasher walks down a hallway, he lets out a slight grunt as he erases someonething in his notebook.
<DeathStar> 6* A doctor's report opens up. It seems to be on Dragoon Alpha Baxter, who has been assigned to a colony with little human contact so that his presence cannot bother them, nor them him. It seems, however, he's showing unusual symptoms of illness.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches the two go, shaking his head. He sits down at his desk.
<Seraphna> "Illness in a Dragoon..."
<Xanatos`Durran> Anonther boring day? *he asks more than states to Warren*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. 6He grabs his report, filling out that both of guards are morons.
<DeathStar> 6* There seems to be a second half to this message, further encoded into it.
* Seraphna looks it over and attempts to open it.
* Shiva lets out a huge sigh as she opens bounces her head on her table. 1"No...more paperwork...."
* Shiva suddenly pops up from her desk a wicked smile on her face. She hops out of her room and begins to make her way to the security room.
<DeathStar> 6* A picture of a chest opens. Text is beside it: "The box that carried the Dragoon Alpha Hardcopies." 6There's another picture below it, a picture from their own security cams - it shows a wrapped package that was delivered for Kane. It's the same size.
* Seraphna stands, hitting her comms, "Warren."
<DeathStar> 6* The chest before Kane suddenly twirls and unlocks.
* Xanatos`Durran moves his eyes back to the monitors, his eyes drift closed, but suddenly jerk away at the clicking of the comm, he moves his eyes to look at Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs the comm. "Yes, Lt. Cran?"
<Seraphna> "You've been looking into the Dragoon Project... I think you may want to look at something."
* `Kane places it down and peers inside the chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, then decides not to even deny it. "Alright. I'll be right there."
<DeathStar> 6* The chest is full of papers and data chips. It seems to house hundreds of hours worth of information.
* Xanatos`Durran sits up, "Ooh I want to come." He says almost childlike.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Keep an eye on the monitors. 6He tells Durran with a raised eyebrow, stepping out of the office to walk down the halls.
* Seraphna extracts both files from the e-mail and seperates them to remove the source trace.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs and peers back over at the monitors. "Never get to have fun.." he mumbles under his breath.
* `Kane lets curiosity get to him as he begins to pick up papers and scan over them.
<DeathStar> 6* He appears to be looking at the designs to build a Dragoon on the papers he holds.
* Xanatos`Durran moves his left hand over to his console and punches up a secure call to Darien. His eyes still on the papers.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Aw damnit. Kane did that.
* Shiva slides into the security room and looks around.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien immediately appears on the screen. "Did you do it?" 6He asks him, his eyes wide with interest.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into the hanger, moving over to where Seraphna is standing.
<Seraphna> "You and I both want information on them... look... Kane recieved a package a while back, a large one, heavy..." *she holds up her datapad* "I think the files you and I both need are in Kane's room."
* Ry` sits up, sighing
* `Kane nods not even looking at the screen, he sets down a paper and brings up another.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at the datapad. "Of course. Of course - the information I gathered on Kane makes sense now."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm on my way. Don't let anyone get those files, Kane. 6He signs off.
<Seraphna> "It was in a Janus Security Box... they're tough to crack but... we should hurry."
* Seraphna is typing a message as she talks, sending it off to her dad.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods, unholstering his gun. "Lets move. If I'm right, Kane was the one who destroyed the holonet files. If he opens that chest, he might...
* `Kane nods and closes the connection, he places the files into the chest and locks it down again. Only he knows how to open it among the people on the station. Kane picks it up and begins to move over to its hiding place, heaving a bit from the weight.
<DeathStar> 6* The chest doesn't relock.
* `Kane blinks. "Damnit..."
* Seraphna nods, heading out of the hangar and to his room.
* Jackieness has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his comm. "Keep a feed on Kane's room, Durran."
<Xanatos`Durran> ...Right...*he does so*
* Shiva sighs. 1"Damn't, there goes harrassing General Tightass..."
* `Kane is just satisfied with it being closed, and moves over to the hiding location. He doesn't think anyone should find it...not even Warren. Though he has been wrong plenty of times in the past.
* Shiva scowls and steps out of the Security Room.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren reaches the hallway with the rooms, passing Arhn's and Ry's rooms as he stops outside Kane's room.
* Seraphna knocks on the door
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holds his gun up as he leans on the wall beside the door, out of sight.
* Slasher pauses, stopping infront of his room, he leans against the wall and continues jotting something down.
* `Kane moves everything back in its location and instantly pulls up his datapad with a program already open and mid-way worked through. He glances at the door and frownd, moving over and opening it.
<Seraphna> "Kane...? It's Serena."
* Ry` shifts a bit, and immediatly moves to the door. He pops his head out, glancing at Warren.
* Seraphna smiles, "Kane... we need to talk."
* Jackieness is now known as Arhn
* `Kane stands there looking into her eye, he glances around, noting Ry. Stepping back he arches a brow at her. "Alright..."
* Slasher looks down the hall at Sera trying to talk to Kane.
* Seraphna steps in, moving into the room.
<`Kane> NRP: eyes...she has two I guess. :P
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps in suddenly, holding his gun ready. He looks around the room.
* Slasher blinks, then spots Warren with a gun.
* `Kane moves his hand instantly into his jacket, eyeing Warren. "What in the world is going on?"
<Ry`> 14"Now what the fuck is going on...I'm so left out of the loop.."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Pull that hand out slowly, Kane. 6He warns, holding the gun at him.
* Arhn also opens her door, looking out into the hallway herself.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes the situation, wondering if Warren is being a bit extreme.
<Slasher> ...*he reaches for his pistol and begins to walk down the hallway towards Kane's room.
* `Kane does so, holding the free hand up. "What did I do?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren touches his hand to his ear. "I need scanners down here, Xanatos. Bring them."
<Seraphna> "Kane... we need you to help us... we know about the box."
* Slasher steps into Kane's room and looks at Warren. 1"What's going on here?"
<Arhn> Ry....attend me. Something may be wrong.
<Ry`> 14"I'm already here.."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Keep an eye on Kane for me. He has some sensitive information. 6He holsters his gun and kneels down, examining the room.
* Xanatos`Durran hops up, not even acknowleding that he got the message. He moves over to the locker and then pulls out some scanner. Though he isn't sure they are in working order since they have rarely been used. He moves out of the office and heads for Kane's room.
* Slasher 's body stiffens and his gun trains directly onto Kane's forehead.
* Ry` steps in front of Arhns door, glancing at the events taking place.
<Seraphna> "Kane... you know me... I don't want you in trouble... tell us where it is?"
* `Kane arches a brow lookinig at Sera, "Box...? What box?" Hee ponders to think for a moment, "You mean that package I recieved a while back?" He shakes his head smiling, "That was just something that belonged to me. Nothinig important."
<Arhn> Good...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren studies Kane's eyes while he talks. "You're lying." 6He announces.
<Seraphna> "It wasn't unimportant... and it belongs to the Janus Military."
* Xanatos`Durran lightly steps past Ry, Arhn and Slasher and extends his hand with scanner in it to Warren. He idly listens to everyone.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren takes the scanners, activating it. He begins to sweep the room.
* Slasher doesn't even glance at Xan as he walks by his hand constantly adjusting everytime Kane move's.
<`Kane> No, it belongs to me. I inherated it.
<Slasher> So it is here.
* `Kane is only looking at Sera, completely ignoring the others.
<Seraphna> You inherited the Dragoon Project?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's face is going dark. He's close to raging.
<`Kane> I inhereted its contents....from my friend.
<Ry`> 14"Seems this situation is getting volatile quick.."
<Arhn> Stay on alert...the air is tense.
<Seraphna> "Darien?"
<`Kane> God know, he isn't my friend. The only real friend I ever had besides you.
<`Kane> Nrp; No.
* Xanatos`Durran silently moves around the room as well, lightly moving his hands along the walls.
<Seraphna> "Who?"
<Seraphna> "...Vennie...?"
<DeathStar> 6* A shuttle lands into the hanger, giving the computers all the accurate information. It spins into place and the ramp lowers as it hovers in mid-air.
* `Kane glances around at everyone, then back to Sera. "You know me more than anyone here. You should be able to tell me by now."
* Slasher begins to look around the room, making sure to keep one eye trained on Kane.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's hand stops in front of a wall. He looks up at it.
<Seraphna> "Tell you what?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien Starr leaps from the ramp and lands in the hanger, running down the hallway.
* `Kane grimaces at the situation. "You cannot have the box. It does not belong from where it came."
<Seraphna> "It belongs to the Dragoons Kane. If anyone... and that's why we need it."
<Ry`> 2His ears twitch, and he immeditly grasps the pistol upon his side.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren touches the wall, feeling along it. "I need this opened."
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Ry's movement. "I think we may have trouble."
* Seraphna walks over and grabs her screwdriver, undoing the panel with the automatic device quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien Starr turns onto the hallway with the rooms, moving down the hallway quickly.
<Arhn> What would you have me do?
<Ry`> 14"Someones coming.."
<Ry`> 14"I suggest you close the door"
<`Kane> Sera...tell me something. You say...we need the box...who is that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien Starr runs past Arhn's room and slides into Kane's room. "Halt!"
* Slasher 's hand spins backwards, his gun aimed durectly into Darien's face.
<Seraphna> "Myself and Warren... we need to repair Ariel... whenever we get her back."
* `Kane starts to move to get in their way. When stopped by Darien's screaming.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to face Darien, his face scowling now.
<DeathStar> <Darien Starr> I'm afraid you all have to leave this room immediately.
* Slasher turns around, eyeing Darien. He drops his weapon.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes Warren.
<Ry`> 14"Yup..just as bad"
* Arhn closes and locks her door.
* Seraphna removes the panel, ignoring Darien.
* `Kane jumps over to Sera and pulls her away. "Stand down Sera.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You have no author--- 6Darien holds up offical papers. "I'm afraid Kane and all his belongings are coming with me for an investigation concerning state secrets." 6He walks over, standing in front of the panel.
<Seraphna> "They aren't his..."
* Slasher looks over at Warren, waiting for his command.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It doesn't matter. This is my jurisdiction. Now all of you leave.
<`Kane> Yes they are! I inhereted it all.
<Ry`> 14"..why does this guy always do this?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren snatches the papers, reading them over. It's obviously a bullshit reason, but the documents are offical.
<Seraphna> "Janus has already been alerted..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Thank you for the heads up. Now please leave. Or I'll have you arrested, Lt. Cran.
* `Kane creases his brow into a glare at Sera. "Janus doesn't own a damn thing."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... it's offical. 6He snarls at his people.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs and begins moving to the door. "Let's go people. We've been bested here."
* Seraphna looks at Kane, looking quite betrayed, she steps out.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren points at Darien. "This isn't over."
* Slasher holsters his gun and steps out.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves out of the room.
<Ry`> NRP: <Ry> Says who? *shoots Darien*
* Seraphna checks her Datapad, walking down the room to her room, tapping her console to the secure channel.
* Ry` glares at Warren. 14"We need to talk"
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6He waits until they're gone. "We don't have time. Cran will overturn us in a few minutes."
* `Kane shuts and locks his doors, he pulls out the box and quickly opens it.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren goes to respond to Ry when suddenly the station suddenly shakes, as if it got hit by a ship blast.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks up. "... looks like those minutes became seconds."
<Shiva> Who's attacking us?
<Ry`> 14"Oh for the love of Pete!"
* Shiva looks around.
* Xanatos`Durran looks up shocked, he breaks into a run for the security office.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks up from her papers. "What in the world?"
* Slasher sprints behind Xanatos.
* `Kane frowns, "I can't stay here anymore.."
<Shiva> NRP: Ignore that.
<Ry`> 14"..We really need to talk"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I agree. We have to get you and the papers off the station now.
* Shiva walks upto Kat's office and knockso n it
* Seraphna taps her comms
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens the door on her way out, looking at Shiva. "What is going on?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shakes his head, heading after Xanatos.
* `Kane arches a brow at him, "How?"
<Shiva> I stopped to ask you the same thing!
<Seraphna> "Hangar bay, lock down the guest shuttle that arrived a shirt while ago. ALso, lock down teh secondary hangar bay."
<DeathStar> 6* The station shakes again and alarms go off - a hull breech has occurred.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at his datapad. "That bitch is locking us in."
* Xanatos`Durran stops in the office, checking to see who is attacking them.
* `Kane smirks, "Like that can stop me." Just get me to a console."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll have her goddamn job for this...
* Ry` glances around, before growling. 14"Fucking great.."
* Slasher steps in behind Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be a mercenary ship. Armed troops are leaping off in space suits onto the station from the hole in the wall.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We're being invaded. Get all the weapons ready now.
<`Kane> Damnit, we have a breach. *checks the location*
<`Kane> NRP: GAh! Xanatos did that.
<DeathStar> 6* Alarms continue to wail as Darien opens Kane's door, glancing out as he draws his gun.
<Slasher> Try to lock them where they are.
<DeathStar> 6* It's in the engineering level. Several dead already.
* Xanatos`Durran attempts to do so.
* Ry` narrows his eyes, and looks torward Kanes door..he was still there.
* Seraphna stops what she's doing, walking down the hall to Kane's door.
<DeathStar> 6* As the doors begin to lock, their computers begin to scramble from a virus. It seems a hacker is stopping them.
* `Kane closees the chest and moves close to darien, his pistol is already in his hand.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Lets go.
* Slasher sprints out of the Security Room and begins to make his way down towards the hull breach.
<Xanatos`Durran> Damnit! They are hacking us big time!
* Xanatos`Durran tries to deter it, but he isn't qualified.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Damn. 6He grabs a rifle and runs after Slasher.
* Xanatos`Durran gives up and grabs a rifle, running out after Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sees Sera coming. He shoves Kane into a random hallway, mouthing "Hanger" to him.
<Seraphna> "Wait!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien blasts the hallway controls, sealing it off as if there were a fire emergency.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns to face Sera now, eyeing her.
* Slasher pushes through a doorway and into the stairwell, he begins to sprint down the steps heading towards the engineering level.
<Arhn> ...not good at all... *sits behind her desk to wait it out*
<Ry`> NRP: ..Darien is well away Ry is looking at him right?
<Seraphna> "Give me a good reason... to help Kane."
<DeathStar> NRP: Yes.
<Ry`> NRP: aware
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm giving you nothing. You brought this hell on us today.
* `Kane looks at Sera, and lowers his eyes.
* Seraphna looks to Kane, shaking, "I trusted you and you lied to me... why?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leaps down the steps after Slasher, then moves onto the engineering level. Slasher and himself are blasted at from 10 troops, who seem to be wearing the colors associated with John McCormick's revolutionist group.
* Slasher reaches the level and opens the door.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Oh sorry.
<Ry`> 14"Sera..we don't have time to deal with these fools, forget them"
* Slasher slides back into the stairwell.
* `Kane shakes his head and begins to move for the hanger.
<Slasher> 10 of them.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien checks his datapad. "We have bigger problems. Set up fortifications here." 6He tells Ry.
<Slasher> We need to cut their sight. Smoke grenade?
<Seraphna> "Are they with you?"
<DeathStar> 6* The station rumbles again, another hull breach occurring.
* Seraphna holds onto a wall to keep from falling voer
<Shiva> Another one?! What's going on here?
<DeathStar> <Darien> They're working for your father, you idiot!
* Xanatos`Durran turns the safety on his rifle off. He smiles and holds up a smoke grenade that he just happened to bring.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires a shot at the troops. He's met with ten blasts.
* Slasher grabs onto the door handle and shoots the hinges off.
<Seraphna> "Darien... just answer this... do you want Ariel to live?"
* `Kane shakes from the rumbling of the attack, running as hard as he can for the hanger.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm doing just that. 6He pushes past Sera, pointing at Ry. "We need to fortify here NOW."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls back into the stairwell.
* Slasher grunts from the weight and set's it sideways.
* Seraphna looks down, hitting her comms, "Hangar... come in?"
* Ry` looks to either sides of the hallway. 14"How the fuck do you plan on doing that..Our fucking beds?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Sounds like a start.
* Xanatos`Durran glances over at Slasher, wondring what he is actually doing.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly Darien's shot in the arm. Ten armed troops have made it to them. He turns, firing at them as he pulls back to Arhn's room.
* Seraphna moves with them, gun drawn
<Ry`> 14"Yeah those with stop a bullet.." 2He snaps torward the guards. 14"Everyone get to Arhns room..I'll handle this.." 2Both sabers are pulled out, as he looks at them.
* Arhn retrieves her plasma pistol from where she had it strapped to her thigh.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien knocks on Arhn's door. "Open up, it's Captain Starr."
<Seraphna> "Darien..." *she looks at Kane, obviously as conflicted is someone can get*
<Arhn> Very well then. I've been watching you through my door camera. *opens the door from her desk console*
* Ry` rammed his sabers into a part of a door, and hopes to cut a piece of it out. If successful he grabs it, and uses it as a shield..as he charges the soldiers.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Kane is moving for the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* Ry is blasted by a huge explosion - that blows a hole in his door and knocks him back several feet. If he hadn't had it, he would be dead.
* `Kane slides around a corner, almost to the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks up the stairs. "I hear something above us."
* Xanatos`Durran extends the Smoke Grenade to Slasher, readying his rifle.
* Ry` is indeed sent hurling back, and grunts. His pistol is drawn, as he opens fire on the soldiers. 14"Fuck!" 2He says in obvious rattle.
<Slasher> This should provide some cover. *he grabs the handle tightly then begins to head down the stairwell, using the door as a shield.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves inside. "Your guard is about to get himself killed. We should hurry and get you out of here."
* Xanatos`Durran begins to move down behind Slasher, waiting till he can get a clear shot.
* Seraphna takes out her datapad, "We can take the service stairwells as long as no one's sealed them..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren follows after them.
<Arhn> Of course. *rises to her feet*
<DeathStar> <Darien> They'd be thinking about that.
* Slasher continues down the stairs while using the door as a shield.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets on Arhn's bed, taking his gun and smashing it against part of the ceiling.
* Xanatos`Durran glances back at Warren. "Contact Katrina, tell her to get herself and the emmisaries locked up somewhere."
<Seraphna> "Well besides through them, thanks to your handiwork, the only other way down is suicide."
<DeathStar> 6* Slasher, Durran, and Warren seem to have no more shots fired at them - all is quiet. Too quiet. Warren holds up the comm, showing it's being jammed.
* Ry` ducks for any possible cover he can. 14"Fuck..This isn't how I plan on going out!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien ignores Sera's stupidity and busts in the ceiling, revealing an airvent.
* Xanatos`Durran frowns and stops at the quiet. He kneels down and listens, for something out of the ordinary.
<DeathStar> 6* The troops in Ry's hallway keep firing plasma shots at him.
<Slasher> I don't like this...*he quickly peers over the stairwell to look around*
<Seraphna> "...Okay, so I don;t think like a commando, excuse me."
<DeathStar> 6* A grenade bounces down the stairs.
* `Kane slides to the doors to the hanger and rushes inside moving over to Darien's shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I should be with Kane before he gets killed by your father.
<DeathStar> 6* KAne is suddenly zapped in the back.
<Arhn> This seems like one of your Earth films. *pulls off her gown, clad in her body armor underneath* Can't have that snagging on anything.
<Seraphna> "He wouldn't..."
<Xanatos`Durran> Grenade! *he attempts to move away from the Grenade.
* Ry` pulls out a flash grenade from his belt, and tosses it at the soldiers. Hopefully the explosion would rattle them, and give him a chance to open fire on the blinded Soldiers
<Slasher> ....Shit...*grabs the railing and hurls himself over it and down the stairs.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leaps over the rails and falls down the stairs as the grenade goes off.
* Slasher hits the stairs and rolls down them.
<Shiva> *grabs Kat* We need to get you somewhere safe*
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers seem to have gear in their suits to protect them. They open fire still, leaving Ry no room for escape except Arhn's room.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Me? But...
<DeathStar> <Darien> You should go first, Ambassador.
* Seraphna checks some readings, "Okay, he down that way..." *she points* "...Unless you want to take a drop down to the core."
<Shiva> Well you are the Lead Diplomat...Where's a safe place?
* Xanatos`Durran hits the ground as the grenade explodes above him, the force causes him to roll down some stairs.
<Ry`> 2Nifty..he is quite helpless in this situation. Ry pulls back immediatly to the room, and moving torward the open airvent.
* Slasher stands up and looks down the stairs for anyone.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> My office is actually.
<Arhn> Thank you. *climbs up into the vent*
<Ry`> 14"You guys are still here?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien seals Arhn's door once Ry is inside. "Glad to have you back."
* `Kane hits the ground, the chest in his hand slides across the hanger floor sliding to a halt under Darien's shuttle. He tries to get a look at who shot him, but he cannot move, and the pain that streaks along his back is almost blinding.
<Shiva> It's the most obvious place but if you want. *she reaches under her dress, pulling out a concealed pistol*
<Seraphna> *Kieran just idly looks ip as some debris fall from his cieling, "...Trivial..."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade kneels beside Kane. "Well well. I tihnk it's time we have a heart to heart."
<Ry`> 14"I figured I could distract them for a while..no big deal..it takes more then a couple explosions to take me down"
* `Kane eyes Spade, he knows he is in for somee trouble.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You follow your ambassador.
<Ry`> 14"And you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Troops pour in below and above them (for those in the stairwell). Warren looks up and down.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll be right behind you. 6He reaches into his coat, pulling out explosives and setting them up on the wall.
<Slasher> ....Shit...*looks for the nearest door*
<DeathStar> 6* There's a door right beside them - to another engineering level.
* Seraphna heads up after Ry.
* Ry` crawls into the airvent, and following Arhn.
* Slasher kicks the door open and sprints through it
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns and follows Slasher through the door.
* Xanatos`Durran jerks himself to his feet, he aims up the stairs seeing a whole slew of guards. He backs up and fires, "We need to move!"
* Xanatos`Durran quickly runs in behind Warren and Slasher.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren slams the door shut. "We need to regroup."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes, then leaps on the bed and up into the airvent.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs, "They know the layout all too well."
<`Kane> ...Why are you doing this?
<Slasher> This was planned...
<Ry`> 14"They said this job was easy..fuck Humans are more trigger happy then fucking Erusians.."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade grabs the chest, putting it on one of the shuttles. He turns, eyeing Kane as he holds the gun. "For Serena, of course."
<Seraphna> "Right... take the first right... and then a left, the second grate should put us in an empty hall..."
<`Kane> Serena? How is this for her?
<DeathStar> <Warren> If I'm right, this is the same group that bombed the Janus base months ago.
<Arhn> Where do I go?! *from the vent*
<Ry`> 14"Forward!!!"
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Warren, pondering that ideal, "I'm not so sure. I doubt John would endanger is sister that much..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> She's a good kid, but she doesn't see how deep this goes. She can't. But my days are numbered as well. These men have orders to kill me once they're done getting the box.
<Seraphna> "Forward until you cna turn right."
<Slasher> I couldn't care less. We need to retake this place. That or find their leader and kill him.
* Arhn starts on forward.
* Ry` traces her movements
<DeathStar> 6* Warren aims at the door. "Damn."
* Slasher walks by Xan, grabbing his sabre, he ignites it and begins to use it to melt the door edges shut inseveral places
<`Kane> Then...why do it?
<DeathStar> <Spade> Hm. No point in telling you. 6He aims his gun at his head.
* Shiva steps into Kat's office and waits.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves into the office, revealing a panel. She hits some buttons, sealing them in.
* Seraphna turns right after Ahrn and Ry, "Now keep going until you hit a left."
* Slasher unignites the sabre and tosses it to Xan.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crawls in after them.
<Ry`> 14"Where is this supposed to come out?"
* `Kane grits his teeth, "Why isn't there? Everyone just claims you are a monster...but I just wonder if you war or not.."
<Seraphna> "Kat's office."
<Slasher> There's only one real place to leave this station. And that's the Hanger.
<DeathStar> <Spade> I'm more of a monster than you could possibly realize.
* Xanatos`Durran catches it and places it at his side. "Lead the way."
* Slasher sprints down the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade turns to go when he's punched in the face. He falls to the ground.
* Seraphna turns left after Ahrn and Ry, Ahrn comes to a grate where she can see Kat's desk under it.
<DeathStar> <Spade> How in the world did you--- 6He rolls past a kick and gets to his feet. John McCormick stands there.
* `Kane is shocked and tries to get a better look.
<Shiva> Do you hear that?! *she looks up, her pistol aimed at the air vent*
<Ry`> 14"I hate vents.."
<DeathStar> <John McCormick> Your boss is trying to frame my people. I don't appreciate that. 6He tries to flip kick Spade, who blocks and punches him in the stomach. John rolls back to his feet.
* Xanatos`Durran moves behind Slasher and Warren. "This doesn't make sense at all."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances up.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves along, grabbing his datapad as he scans the cameras. "Damn...DAMN."
<Ry`> NRP: Nifty, I'm the only security on my team
<Seraphna> "Ahrn, open the grate and get down."
* Shiva reaches a stair well and opens it, he glances in.
* Shiva tenses up, her hand cocking the gun.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Well, the revolutionist appears. It's so easy to frame fanatics. 6He punches John twice, slamming him against a shuttle.
* Slasher reacehes a stairwell and opens it, glancing in.
* `Kane struggles to gain control of hihs body.
<DeathStar> 6* WArren eyes the camera feed. "Spade's in the hanger, fighting someone."
* Arhn tries opening the grate.
<Slasher> Where heading there anyways...*steps into the stairwell and sprints up the stairs, making his way to the Hanger Bay floor*
<Xanatos`Durran> Let me see that! *he moves to look at Warren's datapad* Damnit that is Kat's brother John!
<DeathStar> 6* The grate opens and dumps Arhn onto Kat's desk. Katrina stands there, eyeing her.
<Seraphna> "Kay Ry, you next, come on."
* Ry` slides in after her, landing on his feet.
* Shiva sighs, relaxing.
<Arhn> ...I hope you have a plan prepared for this eventuality, Lt. Commander.
<Shiva> Glad you made it out safe.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade glances at his datapad. "Out of time." 6He punches John hard enough to knock him out, tossing him into the shuttle. He grabs Kane, tossing him into the shuttle next.
* Seraphna moves after him, holding onto the edge, roling out, and then dropping down
<Ry`> 14"Get some really big guns I hope.."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That would be Warren's speciality, Ambassador...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien drops into the office last.
* Xanatos`Durran pulls out his datapad as he runs along. He sees if any of the new shuttles have been outfitted with his device.
<Seraphna> *They all have.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade gets onto the shuttle, powering it up as he lifts it up in the air. He reaches over and rips out something from the controls, then hits a switch. The hanger rocks from an explosion.
* Ry` moves over to the doorway, looking out.
<DeathStar> 6* The energy field fails and begins to suck things out into space. Spade flies straight out of the hanger.
<Arhn> He is currently engaged.
* Shiva reaches the Hanger Bay floor and rushes through the door way. He turns and sprints down towards the Hanger Bay.
<Shiva> NRP: Gat dang't.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Damn. STOP SLASHER!
<Xanatos`Durran> Spade just ripped out one of my devices...he's making a break for it!
<DeathStar> 6* The troops seem to be retreating now.
<Ry`> 14"It seems they are pulling back.."
* `Kane struggles once again to gain control of himself.
<Arhn> They likely have achieved their objective then.
* Slasher slides upto the Hanger Bay down and reaches his hand on the door, and pauses.
* Seraphna checks her datapad, sighing hard
<Ry`> 14"Indeed..which was Kane I'm guessing"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren arrives behind Slasher.
<Slasher> Shield's down...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes it is.
* Slasher looks around, in hopes of finding a straggler.
* Xanatos`Durran steps up beside them as well, "So what the hell can we do?"
<DeathStar> 6* Spade looks at Kane, then takes his gun and hits him in the head to knock him out.
<Seraphna> "Let's see what the hell happened..."
<DeathStar> 6* The mercenary ships begin to pull out.
* `Kane slumps over, KOed. :(
<Ry`> 14"We already know what the hell happened.."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens her door.
* Slasher let's out a low growl kicks the wall with the side of his foot.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Damn... 6He holds up his datapad finally. "Dammit all..."
* Xanatos`Durran frowns, "I could have a shuttle follow him, but he'll be out of rangee in no time.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Darien.
<Seraphna> "...There's a way..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Spade got the box. 6He eyes Sera. "Good job, Lt. Cran. You lost the box to the enemy."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks past her in anger.
* Arhn purses her lips.
<Seraphna> "Spade? Well... there's something I haven't mentioned about those shuttles..."
<Shiva> What box?!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks just as confused.
<Ry`> 14"Beats me.."
<Ry`> 14"Everyone keeps me out of the loops"
* Shiva looks at Darien, her arms crossed.1"Explain now."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just ignores her, leaving.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lets find the others. 6He says, turning to locate the others in the diplomatic office.
* Slasher follows after Warren.
* Shiva twitches then eye's Sera. 1"What box is he talking about?"
* Xanatos`Durran slumps his arms to the side, moving after them.
<Ry`> 14"Who gives a damn.." 2He moves out after Darien
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks into the hallway, leaning against the wall as he sighs.
<Arhn> Still...this entire affair has been disturbing.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll try to find out what's going on.
<Shiva> ...*sighs and steps out, walking over to Darien, she place's her hand on his hand*
* Ry` slumps against the floor, he attempts to Com Warren once more.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves his hand aside.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks into the hallway right as Ry is contacting him.
<DeathStar> 6* Sera's datapad beeps.
* Seraphna sits on the desk, looking down, thinking
<Shiva> Look, cut the crap. What's going on?
* Seraphna looks down at the datapad
<DeathStar> <Darien> This doesn't concern you, Ambassador Sevintes.
* Ry` eyes Warren silently. 14"We REALLY need to talk..I'm not waiting any longer"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I have a situation on my hands here, Ry'oskay.
* Xanatos`Durran steps past them all and moves into the room with Katrina. "Kat...he has John."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks up. "Who has John?"
* Xanatos`Durran clenches his fist and looks away, 'Spade..."
<DeathStar> 6* It's a message.
<Shiva> If it involves PAX, which it obviously does since the PAX station was attacked. It invovles me.
<Ry`> 14"Yeah so did I, I was defending the ambasassdor against an enemy I knew nothing about"
* Seraphna opens it, shaking a little
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm afraid it doesn't involve you.
<Ry`> *ambassador*
<DeathStar> <Warren> As soon as I know what's going on, I'll let you know. 6He eyes Sera in the other room. "Though I have one guess."
<DeathStar> 6* It's a set of coordinates in space. A time 5 mins from now. And a "Come alone."
<Ry`> 14"Yeah.." 2He glances back at Sera
* Seraphna deletes it
* Seraphna stands, "I'm going to go get the secondary hangar shields up..."
* Shiva crosses her arms, a look of defiance on her face.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns and grabs a comm, contacting someone. He walks a ways away to talk in a low voice.
<Arhn> Obviously, my government will not b epleased about this...
* Seraphna heads to the hangar after tapping into the shuttles system, the loose ones flying back in, most were secured during nonuse though.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits down in her chair, looking lost. "Spade has John..."
* Seraphna eraches the hangar door and enters her code, the emergency shields coming up.
<Ry`> 14"Yeah..at this rate..the Erusian military will demand intervention.."
<Xanatos`Durran> And Kane. *he says out loud*
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
* Shiva turns away and steps back into Kat's office.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Arhn and Ry.
* Seraphna steps into a shuttle and types away at the internal console, teh beacon going dead as her shuttle lifts off, leaving, her eyes glazed over the whole time.
<Ry`> 14"Personally..I would fail to put this on my next report to them..but I doubt Arhn will.."
* Slasher rubs the back of his head, then turns walking back to his room.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Arhn in silence.
* Xanatos`Durran glances up, checking a buzzing on his datapad. "I just lost another signal in the secondary hhanger..."
* Seraphna sits back, shaking cobwebs as she stares at the inputted coordinates.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks over. "What...? Where's Lt. Cran?" 6He glances around.
<Arhn> Oh...I seem to have struck my head when I fell from the vent...where am I? I was in the shower just asecond ago...
<Ry`> 14"That's my girl.."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks up, then looks at Durran.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs. "Oh this is getting out of hand now!"
* Shiva looks at Kat, eyeing the look of worry on her face. 1"What's the matter Kat?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... Spade has John.
* Xanatos`Durran gestures over to Shiva. "Her Brother."
<DeathStar> 6* The station suddenly rocks again, as if something punched it.
<Ry`> 14"...AGAIN!?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> .... No, this time it's worse. 6He says as he drops his comm.
* Shiva slides over to Kat. 1"They have John?!"
<DeathStar> <Warren> What is going on here, Starr.
<Arhn> ...what now?
<Ry`> 14"What the fuck did you guys do!"
* Seraphna is already well out of range, sitting there, tears in her eyes, a look of confusion on her face as one of the fastest shuttles ever made speeds towards it';s destination
<DeathStar> <Darien> The people behind the attack are now determine to kill all evidence it would appear, now that Lt. Cran is off station.
<Ry`> 14"..Great"
<DeathStar> 6* A shuttle is waiting on Sera in space.
<DeathStar> <Darien> They've sent a dragoon. Dragoon Alpha Baxter. He started showing signs of illness, then insanity.
<Ry`> 14"That woman..I really hope she dies"
<Xanatos`Durran> Only thing left is my old shuttle in the secondary! It couldn't withstand a dragoon.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6She looks up at the others outside. "I feel... we're not out of danger yet.
<Ry`> 14"I doubt we can take them..Might I suggest Evacuation?"
* Seraphna moves along side it, tapping the shuttles comms, "...Hello...?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> We'd be more of a target in space. I have a suggestion, though it's not a good one.
<Ry`> 14"What's that?"
<Shiva> Now what Kat?
* Xanatos`Durran sighs, rubbing the back of his neck.
<DeathStar> <Darien> The dragoon is insane, so it can't use it's true capabilities. We leave the security team away - and send one of us along with the ambassadors off the station. While we delay the dragoon, they can get to safety.
<DeathStar> NRP: We... leave the security team here.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle flies in close to Sera's shuttle, attaching to it. It seems Sera can get aboard now.
<Ry`> 14"I see..who will do that?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, we should leave our best fighters here.
* Seraphna conects ehr airlock with the other and opens it, heading over to the other shuttle, eyes still dim, her movements catlike, very much like she was during combat training
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... I'll stay.
<Ry`> 14"I see..would I fall under that catagory..of good fighter?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> You're probably the best we have, Ry'oskay.
* Xanatos`Durran looks around. "...I'm no good to you, I can barely fight with this one eye of mine.."
<DeathStar> 6* As Sera arrives, she would find Spade sitting in a chair with a gun in his left hand, looking at her.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Then I guess Durran takes the girls and runs.
* Seraphna goes to him, without hesitation
* Slasher steps into his room and into his closet, he take's his shirt off and slides something over his top and then puts his unform back on.
<Ry`> 14"Warren..lets do this.."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Right. Lets do it.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien checks the charge on his hgun.
<Seraphna> NRP: Xan> "I knew this chance would come!"
* Xanatos`Durran motions for the girls to come with him. He moves and heads toward the secondary hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands. "I think we should all go - now."
* Ry` begins to move torward the breach
<Shiva> He's going to fly us?! I feel safer with that Dargoon thing.
<Shiva> NRP: Dragoon.
<Arhn> Ry...survive. *continues with the others*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hurries after him.
<Seraphna> "William..."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Serena.
* Xanatos`Durran pulls his pistol out and begins to move down the stairs, heading for the Secondary hanger.
<Shiva> Poo...And here I wanted to join a fight...*she follows behind*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren and Darien hurry after Ry.
<Seraphna> "Why is all this happening? Is Ariel alright...?"
* `Kane eyes Sera. Tied up in the corner.
* Slasher heads back upto the others.
<DeathStar> <Spade> There's a lot of questions to be answered, but right now we have little time for them.
<Ry`> 14"Warren..you've been practing that hand to hand fighting right? Me and you are gonna need to work together on this one.."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm afraid I can't help you there. 6He tells Ry as he runs along.
* Seraphna nods
<Arhn> Should we die, Shiva, things in the galaxy will become very bad.
<Seraphna> "Wh-What..."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade turns, revealing John tied up at the controls for the shuttle. "Do you want answers, Sera?"
<Ry`> 14"Try"
<Seraphna> "Yes Will..."
<Xanatos`Durran> You wont die. Not with me here. *he proclaims, heading down another flight of stairs.
<Shiva> Sadly....that's true.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Then I'll show you the grand project of DA3405. 6He pushes his gun into Warren's back. "Fly for Mars."
<DeathStar> NRP: John's.
* Slasher slides next to Warren. 1"What's going on now?"
<Seraphna> "DA3405..."
<DeathStar> 6* John McCormick eyes Sera, then takes the controls and begins to fly off.
* `Kane watches Sera and Spade. A look of extreme saddness in his eyes.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We have a situation - a dragoon is onboard to kill us. You and Ry are the best hand-to-hand fighters. You should work together.
* Seraphna looks half there, in that state between conciousness and a blackout.
* Slasher looks at Ry. 1"That can be done."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops outside the cafeteria, holding a datapad. "It's inside."
<Slasher> They as dangerous as I've readY?
<Slasher> NRP: read?
* Ry` looks torward Slasher. 14"I guess"
<DeathStar> <Warren> More.
<Arhn> Wher ewill you transport us?
<DeathStar> 6* Spade sits there quietly as they fly along.
* Slasher slides to a halt outside the cafeteria.
* Xanatos`Durran stops at the entrance to the secondary hanger, moving inside and striding over to the old shuttle of his. Its a bit polished, since he has been escaping to here to work on the shuttle in times of boredom.
* Seraphna watches Spade, hsking her head a little, clearing cobwebs
* Ry` stops also. 14"Alright..let's kick some Dragoon ass.."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves along the hanger.
<Seraphna> "Is... Alpha Ariel safe...?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> .... I do not know.
* Shiva moves along after.
<Seraphna> "You don't have her...?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> ...
* Seraphna looks down in a heavy dissapointment, "I see..."
* Arhn follows Xan to the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, on the count of 3.
<Seraphna> "I-I wanted to believe... you took her... to help her..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs the handles to the door.
* Xanatos`Durran begins to get it prepped and started up.
<Ry`> 14"..3"
<DeathStar> <Spade> ... how far down the rabbit hole do you want to go.
* Slasher cracks his neck from side to side.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits in the co-pilot seat, strapping in.
<`Kane> ...show...her everything. *he mumbles weakly*
<Seraphna> "There's no turning back now..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> 2.
<Ry`> 14"Just prolonging.."
<Seraphna> "I need to know... what this is... why I'm like this..."
<Seraphna> "What Daddy won't tell me..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> 1. 6He kicks open the door and suddenly a huge blast flies from the cafeteria at them, the strength of ten of their guns.
* Slasher spins against the wall, waiting for the blast to subside.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is knocked back, sliding on the floor.
* Ry` slides to the side of the blade, ducking against the wall immediatly. After the blast, he rushes in as quickly as possible..using all of his leg strength to carry him
<Ry`> *blast*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans against the wall, wincing as the blast subsides. Standing in the room is a tall, 6'4 man with red eyes and blue hairs. He's hunched over, looking angry.
* Slasher slides in after him running in 4 ft to his side.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Then I'll tell you ... everything.
<Slasher> NRP: *Spade pulls out two sock puppetS*
<DeathStar> 6* The dragoon watches them approach from either side.
* Xanatos`Durran springs the shuttle of life and blasts out of the hanger.
* Seraphna closes her eyes, her head strangely clear as it awaits the answers.
* Ry` notions for Slasher to take to the right..he'll take the left. It was his attempt to notion for a flanking manuever. With those silent words spoken, he lept upon the table. He slowly began his charge from the left.
<DeathStar> 6* The dragoon grins.
<DeathStar> Session Ends.
