[19:56] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: Immediately Thereafter Last Episode
[19:56] <13@DeathStar> Location: HQ
[19:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, having been stablized temporarily by X, Freyja, and Megumi, is on a limited timer, as soon her DNA will begin to break down at a cellular level, and when that begins, there will be nothing to prevent it.
[19:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin has called everyone to the conference room for a briefing on the matter
03[19:57] * Kuroichigo is now known as Chii
15[19:57] * 13@Marcus sits there, arms crossed, a serious expression.
[19:57] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits, exhaustion on his face.
[19:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits at the table, waiting for Paladin to arrive to begin.
09[19:58] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf sits there quietly, staring at the table.
[19:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the table, looking numb
[19:58] <13@Chad`Winters> 6SPoC sits in her normal spot.
15[19:58] * 13@Jennifer` stands by the doorway, looking at everyone.
15[19:58] * 13@Chad`Winters stands next to Zephyr, his expression hard to read.
15[19:59] * 13Chii sits, tapping her fingers incessantly, darting her eyes about from time to time
[19:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin steps in finally, moving to take a seat. "Sorry to keep you waiting. I wanted to get some files."
[19:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* He sets his datapad on the table
[19:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina reaches over, putting a comforting hand to Chii's shoudler.
15[20:00] * 13@Jennifer` watches Paladin quietly, she still looks dazed.
[20:00] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> As you all know, Cheryl's dying due to a genetic defect
09[20:00] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf grunts a little and frowns more.
[20:00] <13@Chad`Winters> Thanks for the recap.
[20:01] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Cheryl was aware of it
15[20:02] * 13@Marcus makes a face. "Why didn't she tell us?"
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Figures...
15[20:02] * 13@Chad`Winters clicks his tongue at that.
[20:02] <13@Chad`Winters> Because she didn't want to burden anyone.
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> She didn't want you all to know. She stated it was inevitable, and that there was no way around it.
[20:02] <13@Marcus> But we could've searched for a cure before all this, before this stupid time limit.
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> She said there was no cure.
09[20:03] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Is every Dragoon like this? They all jsut expire?"
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers upward
[20:03] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> She always say's theres no cure.
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Yes. All Alphas were made to die 16 years. It's in their genetic makeup.
15[20:03] * 13@Chad`Winters glances down at Zephyr.
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> *in
15[20:04] * 13@Marcus makes another face. "Why the hell would you do that? What if the war lasted longer than 16 years?"
09[20:04] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "That's such large loads of crap."
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> ...
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> That would be a question only General Cran could answer.
[20:05] <13Chii> If it lasted longer they'd have made replacements when the quota was lower than max.
[20:05] <13Chii> Efficient warfare use of resources.
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She looks down at her own body. "No wonder she saw herself as an expendable tool."
[20:05] <13@Chad`Winters> I doubt that's why.
[20:06] <13Chii> They were afraid. Afraid of the paranormal and powerful.
09[20:06] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "There's gotta be somethin."
[20:06] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances back at Zephyr. 1"That means she's known for awhile than..."
[20:06] <13@Marcus> And the clone Cran doesn't know anyway that this may be avoided?
[20:06] <13Chii> It doesn't matter. How do we save her!?
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I didn't know. No one told me anything about timers!
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> I haven't spoke to the Vice President much. His orders were to use Cheryl to the fullest while she was available.
[20:07] <13@Chad`Winters> They wouldn't. If you knew you had only a certain time table to live, you'd be a risk...6He looks at Paladin now.
[20:07] <13Chii> Prick.
[20:07] <13@Chad`Winters> The bastard knew....
15[20:07] * 13@Marcus makes a face. "And why didn't you tell us, Paladin?"
[20:07] <13Chii> Of course he knew!
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> It was part of the condition for her return - that I keep it to myself.
[20:08] <13Chii> Paladin's on just as much a leash as the Alphas.
09[20:08] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "He was followin orders."
15[20:08] * 13@Chad`Winters rubs his forehead.
15[20:08] * 13@Marcus rubs his forehead and shakes his head. "This sucks ass.
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina tries to comfort Chii mentally as they listen
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... I'm going to give that jerk a piece of my mind. 6* She gets to her feet.
[20:09] <13@Chad`Winters> I'll be right next to you Zephyr.
[20:09] <13Chii> Phinee, sit down.
15[20:09] * 13@Marcus glances at them. "You can yell at him all you want, but that's not going to save Cheryl."
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Chii. "Don't tell me you don't want to beat him up for answers."
[20:09] <13@Chad`Winters> He used her as a tool Marcus. As far as I'm concerned, he deserves nothing less.
[20:10] <13@Marcus> Great, then you go and kick his ass, Chad. While Cheryl dies.
[20:10] <13Chii> I'll kill him, eventually, if Cheryl really dies. But
[20:10] <13Chii> I doubt Paladin called us here to tell us what we've already figured out.
[20:10] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *steps into the conference room, looking over her datapad.
09[20:10] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Eh, at least find out if he knows anything, he's the best source for answers to this right?"
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Chad, Maracus is right. If anything, we need him for answers
[20:10] <13Chii> Or I wouldn't be here, for sure.
15[20:11] * 13@Chad`Winters clicks his tongue, his arms crossing now.
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Chii is right. Right now, we need to think objectively on this. If we can't do anything, I think we should try to make Cheryl's last days as comfortable as we can.
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits down, frowning more, eyeing the table with anger
03[20:12] * Freyja (sdf@c-71-197-238-206.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #taw
03[20:12] * Myria is now known as Cassandra`
09[20:12] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Strikes me as odd that Cran would use her as a weapon but then just let her die when she still has use."
09[20:12] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Think he really knows anything?"
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin checks his datapad when it beeps. "Alexander is on his way here now."
[20:12] <13@Chad`Winters> He know's something.
[20:13] <13Freyja> <Chii> She was made from his DNA, right? He should know something.
[20:13] <13@Marcus> Is there no location of Cran or Venerator's notes on the Alphas?
[20:13] <13@Chad`Winters> I haven't had time to run through Crans files he left me. Not on this matter atleast.
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I thought the General considered you as a son, Chad
09[20:14] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Wait... Cheryl is Cran's kid?"
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Why would he put a cap on Cheryl's life, then? Didn't he consider her his daughter?
[20:14] <13@Chad`Winters> That's what doesn't make sense. He gave her the ability to reproduce but let this happen still.
15[20:15] * 13@Jennifer` leans in the doorway and sighs a little.
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Clearly he didn't think of her a worthy daughter, then
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr says with bile
09[20:15] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Maybe the... original Cran didn't have time to fix it? This guy's a clone of a dead man right?"
[20:16] <13@Chad`Winters> Knowing him, all he could've cared for for was the kid.
09[20:16] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "How'd this guy manage to get to Vice Presidency if he's such a bastard?"
[20:16] <13@Marcus> He's a crafty bastard. That's why.
09[20:17] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf frowns, "Good logic."
[20:17] <13@Chad`Winters> The real question is how a clone was able to get so much power so easily.
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander steps into the room. "Not a relevant one."
15[20:17] * 13@Jennifer` eeps a bit and stands to the side allowing him in.
15[20:17] * 13@Chad`Winters mood shifts visibly as he turns to eye Alexander.
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* He moves in, wearing a white suit as always, looking professional and dignified as usual. He moves to the head of the table, taking a seat
[20:18] <13Freyja> Have an answer to my eventuality, Alexander?
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Your eventuality?
[20:18] <13Freyja> NRP: Chii >_>
14[20:18] * Chii (Kit@32.157.4.91) Quit (Quit: jmIrc destroyed by the OS)
03[20:18] * Freyja is now known as chii
03[20:18] * chii is now known as Chii
15[20:18] * 13@Marcus eyes Cran as he moves.
15[20:18] * 13@Chad`Winters rests a hand on Zephyrs shoulder as he eyes Cran.
[20:18] <13Chii> Well, apparently someone's dying in twenty-four hours.
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes him with obvious venom. Jerking when touched
15[20:19] * 13Chii eyes him calculatingly. 1"Have you decided whom?"
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Ah. Perhaps we should focus on the facts, instead of pointless threats?
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Or should I go now, and have you arrested instead?
[20:19] <13@Chad`Winters> Than cut to the chase. Tell us what you know.
09[20:19] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Such family love."
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin gives Chii a warning look
[20:20] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans back as he watches Alex
[20:20] <13@Marcus> Let's just focus on Cheryl. We can kill each other and all that after this is resolved.
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I learned, about eight months ago, of Cheryl's condition, from General Paladin. During the time I outfitted her with the collar to keep her from killing you all.
09[20:21] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Good times..."
[20:21] <13Chii> <Chii> Didn't work.
15[20:21] * 13@Chad`Winters tenses up, his eyes narrowing.
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr digs her fingers into the table, eyeing the man. Katrina studies him silently, probably using her mind effectively
[20:21] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, we saw the video of what else you boys were using that collar for.
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Again, are we going to focus on relevant facts, or should I go?
[20:22] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias sighs and shuts up
[20:22] <13Chii> Those weren't his people, anyway, Dias.
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> From what she told me, it was part of a programming called the Alpha Protocols - where the Alphas were designed to shut down upon reaching the age of 16.
[20:22] <13@Marcus> Put in place incase they tried to rebel or something?
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Cheryl never bothered to ask why it was implemented.
09[20:23] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Sounds like a stupid reason, they could probably raise Earth before they died of 'old age'."
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I've gone through what files I have from the General, in regards to the Alphas, and there's only one or two references ot the Alpha Protocols.
[20:24] <13@Chad`Winters> And what were those.
15[20:24] * 13@Jennifer` listens and starts staring at her feet.
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Apparantly it's a failsafe to shut down the Alphas, so that they couldn't be used against Earth, or Cran, and so that they couldn't become a problem one day in the future. I'm guessing Cran forsaw them getting their indepedence - hence why he tried to have Angela take control of them all those years ago
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Also, in part, it was a natural failsafe - they didn't design them to last. That was never their intention. The process of using Ariel's DNA was faulty
[20:25] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> You keep saying protocols...There more than one?
15[20:26] * 13Chii twitches slightly. 1"I gained mine, what's wrong with independence..?"
[20:26] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I don't know. That's all I found on the matter.
[20:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr twitches now
[20:26] <13@Marcus> General Cran didn't want his ideal future threatened.
[20:26] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Perhaps not. He saw them as weapons. He probably wanted to rush them out, and didn't want to bother with trying to fix the genetic breakdown problem
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> It would explain why he used Angela Bennet later - to make one that lasted
15[20:27] * 13@Chad`Winters clenches his free hand, anger seeping from him now.
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Chad, cautiously.
09[20:27] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "So he rushed his weapons and made one for future conquests when he had the time."
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Essentially, yes.
[20:27] <13@Marcus> And it worked for him. Well, for the most part.
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin remains silent, peering at the table
[20:28] <13@Cassandra`> I know I walked into this late, but he likely made his emotional connections to Cheryl after the die had been cast.
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I agree with General Arakawa.
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> He probably intended to raise her child as his own, too.
15[20:28] * 13@Chad`Winters clicks his tongue, his thoughts drifting to Aya.
09[20:29] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Lots of people donate DNA to births and don't grow an attachment till seeing them later in life."
[20:29] <13@Chad`Winters> He had a pension for spreading his DNA about.
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> As you all know, even if he did find a way to fix it, Cheryl and Cran had a falling out - even if he found a way to fix her, chances are Cheryl never let him near her person again
09[20:29] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Wow... talk about your fatal family dramatics."
[20:30] <13@Marcus> Is it possible that he may have found a cure and just hid it somewhere, incase she wanted to use it later?
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I didn't find any notes that even hinted at it - he probably didn't after she cut him off. After all, she was a failure in his eyes
[20:30] <13@Marcus> Of course. *he makes a face at that*
[20:30] <13@Chad`Winters> Yeah, but the chances of those same genetic defects passing onto her kid are there. He would have something for that.
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* He peers at Chii. "And before you threaten me even more, my knowledge on the Alpha series are limited - I couldn't even fathom how to make a cure with what I have on hand"
[20:31] <13Chii> Then why are we talking?
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> It's possible her kid might could actually cure her - if we knew where Ben Carmichael was.
[20:31] <13Chii> Not one fucking thing has been said that would or will help save her.
09[20:31] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "So we're on a would shoulda coulda."
[20:31] <13@Cassandra`> Your anger won't help either.
[20:31] <13@Marcus> She took to hide him. I doubt she wants him brought into this.
[20:31] <13Chii> Hrmph, I thought that would come up eventually.
15[20:31] * 13@Chad`Winters eye sgo wide as he stares at Alexander.
[20:32] <13Chii> She doesn't. She told me to look after him and I don't even know where he is.
[20:32] <13Chii> If I did, I'm not sure I could tell you anyway.
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I agree - no doubt she would want him out of this. But the fact is his DNA might would give us something to look into for a cure. I can't use my own DNA, after all.
15[20:32] * 13@Jennifer` looks down. "Yeah... she wouldn't tell me till I turned 18..."
[20:32] <13@Marcus> And Chad's is out of the question?
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes.
[20:33] <13Chii> Oh, I'm pretty sure I know who knows where he is-- But it doesn't matter, since Alexander here's probably the last person she'd ever want him to have contact with.
[20:33] <13Chii> I just never asked, since, you know. Cheryl was fine and well a day ago.
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies Chad, frowning a bit, then back at Alexander. "But if Ben could help, shouldn't we try?"
09[20:33] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Who says we have to take him along?"
[20:33] <13@Chad`Winters> You'd love to get your hands on him, wouldn't you Alex.
09[20:33] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Just need a sample right? Go to the kid and get it."
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander shakes his head in disgust, getting up. "I would need to be with the kid to do a multitude of tests."
[20:34] <13@Marcus> Where would he be? Dragoon homeworld?
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> But since it's pointless to even consider bringing me to the kid, since you're all a self-righteous bunch, then you can all watch Cheryl die a painful and agonizing death."
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* He moves for the exit
09[20:34] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Now hold on."
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin sighs
15[20:34] * 13@Marcus shifts in front of the exit. "Wait."
[20:35] <13Chii> I'm just going with what Cheryl wanted. You're not getting anywhere near Ben. If it can save her life, surely you'll think of some comprimise.
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I suggest you move before I put you in a cell. I'm tired of you all coming to me with your problems, and judging me every step of the way.
[20:35] <13Chii> But you're not getting near her until she says otherwise.
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Jones. Move aside. He's the Vice President.
[20:35] <13@Marcus> Do I look like i'm judging you? I don't give a damn what you knew, hell I'm more pissed at her than anyone else. But that doesn't mean I want her to die.
09[20:36] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Are you all saying a full team like this can't protect Ben from the man? Get the kid, get Cheryl saved, and hide him again."
15[20:36] * 13@Cassandra` rubs the bridge of her nose.
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Then I suggest you speak with your fellow teammates. 6* He eyes Chad as well
15[20:36] * 13@Marcus shakes his head and steps aside.
15[20:36] * 13@Chad`Winters eyes him back.
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander exits
15[20:37] * 13@Jennifer` looks at Alexander and watches him walk down the hall, frowning.
[20:37] <13@Marcus> Goddamnit!
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr spits on the floor practically. "Self-righteous clone of a bitch."
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina rubs her face. "That didn't go well."
15[20:37] * 13@Chad`Winters slams his palm on the table. 1"Coniving bastard."
09[20:37] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Well you all did basically call him an evil bastard to his face while asking for help."
09[20:37] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "I'd tell you to shove it too."
[20:38] <13@Marcus> He didn't even have to come here and help. And what are you doing?! Judging him!? We NEED him. Now Cheryl's dead. Good job.
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> He can't be trusted.
[20:38] <13@Marcus> I don't give a fuck! If he can save Cheryl, then we should accept that!
[20:38] <13@Cassandra`> This is why I'm glad I'm not in command anymore. *oinches the brdge of her nose*
09[20:38] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Sometimes you have to put up with evil to make good happen."
[20:38] <13@Marcus> But instead, you'd rather her die for a 'what if' scenario.
15[20:38] * 13Chii slams her hand on the table, then gets up, sprinting out of the room.
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin folds his hands together on the table. "Chii---"
09[20:39] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "I don't think you're going to stop her Sir."
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander storms through the hallway of the base, pulling out a comm. "Have my car waiting."
[20:39] <13@Chad`Winters> He couldn't give a damn about Cheryl's life. If he can get something out of this, he'll be game. And what better than hybrid Dragoon DNA.
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin gets to his feet, moving after Chii
15[20:39] * 13@Marcus narrows his eyes at Chad. "I'm glad you feel that way, Chad. Because you'll have Cheryl's death on your hands." He turns and steps out.
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina rises as well, eyeing Chad. "Sometimes, you're too much like your father. You want the man to help you, but tie his hands." 6* She moves after Chii
[20:40] <13Chii> 6Chii slows to a stalking pace, narrowing her eyes at Alexander's back-- reaching out slowly, grinding her teeth.
09[20:40] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "So it's him not giving a damn when we hold the key."
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits there, twitching. "Don't listen to her, Chad."
15[20:40] * 13@Jennifer` follows after Paladin and Chii quietly.
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander doesn't pay her mind, still walking
15[20:40] * 13@Marcus moves after Kat, his emotions would be pretty livid, unfortunately for her.
15[20:40] * 13@Chad`Winters growls. 1"They don't get it. They don't understand what that man has put me through because of what he wanted.
[20:40] <13Chii> 6Chii starts to clutch at his clothing, growling. 1"Alexander..."
09[20:41] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "No, we get it, Daddy hurt you. Hurt you so bad you're too blinded by your fuckin emotions to see you're trading in Cheryl's life to be right."
09[20:41] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf gets up and walks out.
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander turns to eye her - the anger apparant in his eyes. One wrong move, and it's game over
[20:42] <13@Chad`Winters> 6SPoC just mvoes out quietly.
15[20:42] * 13@Cassandra` lets out a breath and then steps out of the conference room.
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I don't have time for your threats.
[20:42] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...I'm just going to step out of this...6He starts sneaking out.
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets up, moving to Chad. "I get it."
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* X sits in her cell, all tired
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves to get to Chii, unless someone delays him
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina winces, putting a hand on Marcus
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I know you care about her a lot. I'm so sorry.
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Besides, we both know Cheryl would rather die than let that man touch Ben
15[20:43] * 13@Jennifer` sneezes, behind Paladin.
15[20:43] * 13@Chad`Winters sits against the table, rubbing his face. 1"Agreed."
[20:43] <13Chii> ...
15[20:43] * 13Chii eyes him, but not about to rip his throat or anything
15[20:44] * 13@Marcus pauses and glances at her, he frowns and looks ahead. "It just pisses me off that they are her family, and that's how they treat her. No wonder she has so many issues." He shakes his head.
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin keeps moving, sneezes meaning little
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander looks at her. "What?"
09[20:44] <13@Jennifer`> "Mister Paladin... wait a minute."
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Later, Miss. Carmichael.
15[20:44] * 13@Chad`Winters lowers his hand looking at Zephyr now. 1"16 years..."
[20:45] <13Chii> I want to know...
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods slowly
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Know what?
[20:45] <13@Chad`Winters> It doesn't make sense. Especially with you.
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Huh? What do you mean?
[20:45] <13Chii> What do you really want? What does all of this mean to you?
15[20:46] * 13@Chad`Winters rubs his face again. 1"Back when we were thrown to different time divergences. I went to an alternate future. You were still alive.
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> It means little, Chii. Cheryl has the same DNA as me, and that makes her part of my family, but like Winters, wants nothing to do with me. There's nothing for me to invest in - and that is why I am walking away. Cheryl. Winters. All of them want nothing to do with me, so I'm going to let them handle this as they want
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks.
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Did they fix the genetic thing with me?
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods slowly
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I wish there was something more I can do.
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin reaches the hallway with Chii
[20:47] <13@Chad`Winters> I don't know. I didn't even know it existed than. All I know are two facts. Aya was atleast 16 and you had the ability to change your age.
15[20:47] * 13@Jennifer` follows behind him still.
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... oh. So--what was I like, this older me?
[20:47] <13@Marcus> You're doing exactly what I need. You're here for me. *he says to her, giving her a slight smile, even if it's forced*
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives Marcus a tentative hug.
15[20:48] * 13Chii yanks at his clothes, pulling him closer to her face, quivering in a brief flash of anger. 1"When you want something badly enough, you have to deal with the consequences, sometimes. Maybe it's not your fault, and I can understand better than anyone, that 'you' did something in the past. Regardless, you're tied to it. If you want your family, then you have to do whatever it takes."
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> If you want to give me Ben's location, I will try to save Cheryl's life. Otherwise, there's nothing to discuss.
[20:49] <13@Chad`Winters> Still the same Zephyr I know now. Just more filled out.
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Unlike Angela, I have no illusions of forcing my blood to care about me
[20:49] <13Chii> Do you want it or not, then?
15[20:49] * 13@Chad`Winters rubs the back of his neck, obviously trying to lighten the mood.
15[20:49] * 13@Marcus returns the hug, getting closer to Paladin and all the others. "Even if it means I do this alone. I won't give up on Cheryl. I would never give up on any of my friends."
15[20:50] * 13Chii lets go slightly, twitching. 1"I can sense your raw intentions. I don't give a shit about your ambitions, but... rejection and acceptance. That's something I can understand."
[20:50] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps into the holding cell and looks over at X. 1"Thanks again."
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander studies her, adjusting his collar. "I thought you would be a bad influence for Cheryl. Perhaps I was wrong. She did seem to be doing well, before all this."
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> 6*X looks at him tiredly. "Do I get to go out now with my Inugami?"
[20:51] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Things are kind of hectic right now.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> <X> Oh.
09[20:52] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf walks past Marcus and Katrina, heading for Chii and Alexander.
[20:52] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> You alright? You look tired.
[20:52] <13Chii> <Chii> Whatever, don't try to flatter me. She's taught me just as much as I've been given.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. Paladin puts a hand out to stop Wolf.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Hm. Noted.
09[20:53] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf stops, looking at Paladin.
[20:53] <13Chii> 6Chii looks up to his eyes, her own widening, the irises narrowing, as if looking at something else. 1"You better be honest with yourself. Don't consider this a threat-- it's a fact."
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> ...
[20:53] <13Chii> I'm going to be with her. This is above my head-- but you should be able to figure it out. The colony, and Dakota.
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I see.
[20:54] <13Chii> Don't be surprised if Winters has shot me by the time you finish.
15[20:54] * 13Chii turns her back on him. 1"And now it extends to Ben as well as Cheryl."
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> If I save Cheryl, I'm sure she would kill him for shooting you
[20:54] <13Chii> Don't do anything funny.
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander adjusts his suit, then looks at PAladin. "Get a shuttle ready for us."
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr seems tuned out right now
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> <X> I am fine. 6* She lies.
15[20:55] * 13Chii heads back for the room, looking for Zephyr
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods, moving for the hanger
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lets out a breath. "So, what did you and future me talk about?"
[20:56] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, no you're not. And never try to lie to a con man.
15[20:56] * 13@Jennifer` follows after Paladin again.
15[20:56] * 13@Marcus glances at Kat. "I'm going with them. I won't be able to sit around here and wait."
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Marcus, having listened in a bit.
[20:56] <13@Chad`Winters> About me dieing and that I should tell you.
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll stay here with Chii then.
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh.
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> <X> Are yo ucalling me a liar? 6* She asks, looking offended.
15[20:57] * 13@Marcus leans forward and kisses her forehead, then her lips briefly. "See you soon." He turns and moves off after Paladin.
09[20:57] <13@Jennifer`> "Mister Paladin?"
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander talks into his comm about something, then moves to get supplies
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Yes, Miss Carmichael?
[20:57] <13@Chad`Winters> A little about Aya..
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She nods.
09[20:58] <13@Jennifer`> "Would it be possible for me to come along?"
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> No. You have school, and we don't know how many days this will be
[20:58] <13Chii> Zephyr.
09[20:58] <13@Jennifer`> "I-I know it's just... he's my brother..."
15[20:58] * 13@Chad`Winters grabs Zephyrs hand. 1"Look. We'll find a way to save Cheryl. And than we'll find a way to save you and the other Alphas."
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> I'm not taking a minor on a mission when she should be in school.
[20:58] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> And what if I am?
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Chii
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> <X> Then I will remember it when our deal is completed
15[20:59] * 13@Jennifer` nods and looks down. "...If I got permission from Natalie?"
03[20:59] * Kuroichigo (Kit@32.156.65.158) has joined #taw
[20:59] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Good point. Than no, no I'm not calling you a liar.
15[20:59] * 13@Cassandra` alread in the hangar, all suited up and checking her weapons.
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Look. Taking you is against protocol
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin steps into a shuttle, sitting down and flicking switches
[21:00] <13Chii> Zephyr... Can I ask you a favor?
09[21:00] <13@Jennifer`> "You're bringing Cran to him though..."
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> I'm tkaing the Vice President, yes.
15[21:00] * 13@Marcus moves up the ramp and takes a seat, he rubs his hands together as if anxious.
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She blinks. "Huh?"
15[21:00] * 13@Chad`Winters eyes Chii, letting go of Zephyrs hand.
[21:01] <13Chii> 6Chii motions her over to the side, kneeling with a hand to her face, twitching, mumbling. 1"He's going. I want you to go... I can't."
09[21:01] <13@Jennifer`> "Sir... does being the Vice President automatically let a man see a kid the parent doesn't want him to?"
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> He's going where?
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> In my book, yes.
15[21:02] * 13@Cassandra` boards the shuttle and straps herself in.
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin finishes, then taps the intercomm. "All personnel, report ot the hanger - get your supplies and affairs in order."
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander steps into the hanger finally
[21:03] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks up. 1"As soon things settle down X. I'll take you two out for a walk."
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* X goes to respond to Dias' retraction, but pauses
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> <X> Hrmph.
15[21:03] * 13Chii squints. 1"To Ben. I believe he will do what he can for Cheryl, but he's almost to the point I was at."
[21:03] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sorry. 6He holds his hand up and moves out.
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Y-You told him where Ben was at?! 6* She practically shouts
15[21:04] * 13@Chad`Winters eyes go wide. 1"YOU DID WHAT?!"
[21:04] <13Chii> 6Chii nods slowly, not particularly surprised at the reactions and all.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Chii! Cheryl told you that in good faith!
[21:04] <13Chii> As did I.
[21:04] <13@Chad`Winters> Chii. You stupid...6He growls, his fists clenching tightly. 1"SHE TRUSTED YOU!"
15[21:04] * 13@Jennifer` clenches her hands into fists, "Sir, please just this once? I won't get to see him for years."
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander steps onto the shuttle
09[21:04] <13@Jennifer`> "If at all..."
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes Jennifer, then ahead. "You will need to speak to Natalie about it, and get permission from your school. In the next 10 minutes."
[21:05] <13Chii> I wouldn't expect you to understand, but I'd know better than anyone if he was an evil-hearted person. There's a difference between that and those with ambitions. This one... I don't know the Alexander you knew before, but I doubt this one resembles his predecessor on the inside as much as he does outside.
[21:05] <13@Chad`Winters> 6SPoC steps out of the armory and begins moving for the hanger
15[21:05] * 13@Jennifer` nods and rushes out into the hall, and to Natalie. "Nat!"
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps into the conference room
15[21:05] * 13@Chad`Winters shakes his head then turns, kicking a table.
[21:06] <13@Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stops, and looks at Jennifer. 1"Yes?"
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Chad. Chii did the right thing. Go with them and keep an eye on Alexander if you have to, but if you don't let him go, Cheryl will die. And despite the fact she may prefer that, there are those who love her and want her in their lives
[21:06] <13Chii> People can change, however. Adapt. ...If things remain as they are, he'll fall into the shadow cast over him and become nothing better. He might really just become the person he's expected to be. Even if he does want to change...
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr twitches, not acting out. But she's mad.
15[21:06] * 13@Jennifer` looks up at her. "They're going to find Ben... I need your permissiona and school's to do... and I need it in teh next... 9 minutes."
[21:07] <13@Chad`Winters> People can, but they dont' change. He had no problems screwing with my daughter when I told him to leave her alone. 6He growls
[21:07] <13Chii> If it comes to it. I'll take responsibility, then, Winters.
[21:07] <13@Chad`Winters> 6SPoC frowns. 1"It is against protocol."
15[21:07] * 13Chii stands up, eyeing him boredly. 1"Shoot me again. I know you can." 6She turns for the door, rubbing her head. 1"You're good at it."
[21:07] <13Chii> In any case, I'm going where I'd prefer to be.
09[21:07] <13@Jennifer`> "Yes but it's my brother Natalie."
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin sends Freyja a comm message. Asking her a question.
[21:08] <13@Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Not biologically.
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... tch. Keep an eye on her, Chii
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves for the hanger. Her anger seems directed at Alex, and not at Chii
[21:08] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps onto the shuttle
15[21:08] * 13@Marcus sits there, arms crossed. His leg is bouncing up and down, though his eyes are closed.
[21:08] <13Chii> 6Freyja pulls it up, still overseeing Cheryl despite it being nothing but a remediate action
09[21:08] <13@Jennifer`> "Warren Carmichael is his Dad... that makes him biological enough in my book."
15[21:08] * 13@Chad`Winters moves past Kat and into the hallway, moving for the hanger.
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> <Message> Am I doing the right thing, yo uthink?
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches Chad go, then pulls Chii into a hug
[21:09] <13@Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Did the general ok this?
[21:09] <13Chii> <Chii> ...?" 6Embraces Katrina in turn, but no feeling in it.
09[21:09] <13@Jennifer`> "He said your permission and school's..."
09[21:09] <13@Jennifer`> "And time's running out."
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> They'll save her, Chii. I know how much she means to you. 6* There's a hint of sadness in her aura - since Chii doesn't seem to care about her that much anymore
[21:10] <13Chii> 6Freyja tilts her head at it and types back. <There weren't many options when so many are ordering you to do so. You can only do what you can, not the unrealistic expectations... at least in time, things will be understood for what they were."
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander buckles up in the shuttle, peering at Marcus
[21:10] <13@Chad`Winters> 6SPoC sighs. 1"It is best that you do not come with."
09[21:10] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf steps aboard the shuttle with her weapons and takes a seat.
15[21:10] * 13@Jennifer` looks crestfallen. "But... Natalie..."
15[21:10] * 13@Marcus opens and eyes and glances at Alexander. "Thank you for helping."
15[21:10] * 13Chii puts Katrina back out at arm's reach and brings her hand up, flicking Katrina in the forehead.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin messages back. <Thank you. If you can make your way to the colony with your teleporting, then I'll keep an eye out for you.>
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander blinks, a bit surprised at a "Thank you"
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> You are...welcome.
[21:11] <13@Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I am sorry.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks
15[21:11] * 13@Jennifer` stares at her in disbelief and walks away down the hall silently.
[21:11] <13Chii> <Freyja> <If I find I learn of a way I can be of more use, then I'll make it happen.>
[21:11] <13@Chad`Winters> 6SPoC turns and moves down the hallway to get to the shuttle
15[21:12] * 13@Marcus just nods once to Cran, closing his eyes again.
[21:12] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves into the co-pilots seat.
[21:12] <13Chii> <Chii> If you were dying, don't expect me to do any less.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm glad to hear that.
[21:13] <13Chii> 6Chii gives her a half-hearted shove on the shoulder, and goes to leave.
09[21:13] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Oi... they were bloody rude to you Mr. Vice President." *she looks like she's trying her best to speak politely*
[21:13] <13@Chad`Winters> 6SPoC steps onto the shuttle and sits down.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches her go
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin peers at SPoC. "Is Jennifer coming?"
[21:14] <13@Chad`Winters> <SPoC> No. It would not be in her best interest. 6Her tone is saddened.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Understood.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* He closes the ramp.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* He begins to fly them out of the hanger.
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> Location: Erusian Homeworld
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Myria and Theron enjoy themselves
[21:16] <13@Marcus> * Theron sits in Myria's home, currently looking through an older book.
03[21:16] * Cassandra` is now known as Myria
15[21:17] * 13@Myria steps into the library.
[21:17] <13@Myria> And what is that you have there?
[21:18] <13@Marcus> * Theron glances up, "Oh this is just an book of your ancestors."
[21:19] <13@Myria> Ah, I see. Why the interest in my family history?
[21:19] <13@Marcus> <Theron> I am merely curious. *he nods* Would you prefer I not look?
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Theron's datapad beeps
[21:20] <13@Myria> What's that?
[21:20] <13@Marcus> * Theron pauses. "Hmm?" He pulls up his datapad.
[21:21] <13@Myria> The beep...
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's a message from Paladin, explaining the situation with Cheryl, and that they were going to do the Colony
[21:22] <13@Marcus> <Theron> It seems Cheryl is dying. The team is en route to the Dragoon Colony. Would you like to assitant them?
[21:22] <13@Myria> How far is it?
[21:23] <13@Marcus> * Theron glances up slightly as if to think. "2 days I believe. In any event, I do desire to help our allies."
[21:23] <13@Myria> We'll need to get a transport then in short order.
[21:24] <13@Marcus> * Theron nods his head. "I will call and get my personal craft ready." He stands and moves to get his things quickly.
[21:24] <13@Myria> You have a personal craft?
[21:25] <13@Marcus> * Theron pauses. "Of course. I would not be a good soldier if I did not."
[21:25] <13@Myria> Ooooo-kaaaaay
[21:25] <13@Marcus> * Theron tils his head, then nods. "Thank you for coming with me." He turns and moves to go get ready.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> Location: Paladin's Shuttle
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* After having been in hyperspace for five hours, the tension is building, especially with how Zephyr keeps eyeballing Alexander
15[21:26] * 13@Marcus has did little else than what he was doing before they left. His eyes are closed and his leg is constantly bouncing.
15[21:27] * 13@Chad`Winters sits beside Zephyr, his eyes closed, but judging from his posture he's waiting for something.
[21:28] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares at the console infront of him.
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's hands twitch, as if about to form a gun, but she looks at Chad instead
09[21:28] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf grumbles a bit, napping.
15[21:29] * 13@Chad`Winters opens his eyes and looks over at Zephyr.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> So. Did you and my future self do anything worthwhile? What was her personality like?
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances at Dias.
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Good thinking on X.
[21:31] <13@Chad`Winters> Hung out a little. Than we defeated Emperor Xevil. 6He rubs the back of his neck. 1"She didn't let what was going on stop her from still being herself
[21:31] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Huh? 6He looks over at Paladin,
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods slowly, trying to imagine herself
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> You did nice work, getting her to help Cheryl
[21:32] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> It helped that Lilith wasn't talking.
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> It's a good sign she's willing to change, that she helped you
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander listens in on Dias and Pal. Weapon topics seem to interest him
[21:33] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> I just told her Cheryl wasn't her enemy and that I was and she needed to heal her.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Good.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* They begin to exit hyperspace, so PAladin brings them out
15[21:34] * 13@Myria glances at Alexander, noting his interest.
[21:34] <13@Chad`Winters> You were strong, charismatic. You practically bossed John and Dias around, that says alot.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Before them is a planet much like Earth's, though much smaller
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Really? Cool. Did I boss you around?
[21:34] <13@Chad`Winters> You could say that. When you couldn't keep your eyes off me.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin brings them in toward the planet
15[21:35] * 13@Marcus opens his eyes finally, his leg comgin to a rest, he peers ahead at the planet. "I've never been here before."
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr coughs, eyeing him. "S-Say what?"
[21:35] <13@Chad`Winters> I died in their timeline.
03[21:35] * Myria is now known as Cassandra`
15[21:35] * 13@Cassandra` did that glancing.
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> Computer: Population 5,000. 16 Alphas. 4,950 humans. Remaining: Mixture of alien races
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander peers at Cassandra now
09[21:36] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Mrreh... lot of humans..."
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes . People who sympathized with the Alphas, primarily.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin radios in who they are and their business, then brings them in toward the planet
[21:37] <13@Chad`Winters> It was probably a mixture of seeing me alive and other things. I have been told I am a good looking male.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> You wish. 6* She notes quickly, looking a bit embarrassed
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> You lived her for a few months, didn't you? 6* He asks Dias. Zephyr, realizing where they are, peers at the planet now
[21:38] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah I did. It's where Cheryl taught me how to fight.
[21:38] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> And Zephyr potty trained me.
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances at him somewhat oddly, then at the girl, who looks younger than Dias
[21:39] <13@Marcus> Zephyr potty trained you. Hilarious. You saw your little manmeat.
[21:39] <13@Marcus> NRP: she*
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr goes red faced. "Disgusting, Marcus."
09[21:39] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "We're not expectign any combat are we?"
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Not expecting, but we'd be unintelligent not to prepare for anything
09[21:40] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "I mean... thinking about the past, we are carrying the clone of the man who started a war with these guys."
[21:40] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah well I'm not fighting them.
[21:40] <13@Marcus> What? It's funny. You basically helped raise Dias. That kinda makes you his mom.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander looks at Wolf
09[21:40] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "What?" *she looks back at him*
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> W-What? His mom? 6* She looks like she wants to die with embarrassment now, for some reason
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> C-Cheryl was older than me. That makes her more like a mom!
[21:41] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah and all she did was beat me up.
[21:41] <13@Marcus> Well Billy has 2 moms. I'm sure Dias can too.
[21:41] <13@Marcus> Er, had. *he coughs*
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Hm. Sexual tension with his parents. Fascinating
[21:41] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Milfs are the hot thing right now.
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Cassandra now, wondering if Marcus bothered her
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin lands the shuttle. WAiting on the pad is a man dressed in stained mechanic overalls, looking to be in his thirties.
[21:42] <13@Cassandra`> What?
09[21:42] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Wow, we haven't gotten off the shuttle yet and look at the ten-- I can't believe she didn't catch that."
[21:42] <13@Marcus> Nothing Cass. Sorry. *he waves a hand*
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin lowers the ramp.
09[21:42] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf sighs as if dissapointed and gets up.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* The man wips his hands clean, peering at the shuttle. Zephyr runs down and throws herself into the man for a hug
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* The man returns the hug, smiling and patting her head. "You've grown again."
15[21:43] * 13@Chad`Winters moves down the ramp himself now, eyeing the man. 1"Dakota?"
15[21:43] * 13@Marcus walks down the ramp, watching the scene, but staying back, regardless.
[21:43] <13@Chad`Winters> 6SPoC makes her way down the ramp now.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> Yep. 6* Zephyr moves to his side, holding his arm. The man looks well built, muscled - probably could beat Dias and Marcus studpi
[21:44] <13@Cassandra`> I'm just not taking things irrationally and getting all emotional about it. *stands up and heads down the ramp*
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves down the ramp himself; Alexander behind him
15[21:44] * 13@Chad`Winters nods, crossing his arms.
[21:44] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias finally moves down, sizing Dakota up.
09[21:44] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "So who's this guy?" *she eyes Dakota like a piece of meat*
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> Dias. Still want to try to arm wrestle me?
[21:44] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Any time old man.
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> I'll put your young skinny ass in the fountain again just like before
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dakota eyes Wolf, not looking impressed with what he eyes
15[21:45] * 13@Marcus steps forward and holds out a hand. "Dakota?"
[21:45] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> A lot's changed since than. I've taken down a planet eating ridarium. 6He notes, obviously cocking off
09[21:45] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf doesn't seem all that impressed either. "A little too much if you ask me."
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> Well, I took down the guy who took down a planet eating Ridiarium
[21:46] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Than let's have a run at it right now. 6He rolls ups his sleeve.
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dakota takes the hand, shaking it
15[21:46] * 13@Marcus nods. "Marcus." He steps back.
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> We're here to find Ben. 6* Dakota looks at him blankly
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> Ben who?
09[21:46] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Cheryl's kid."
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> Haven't seen the boy in about 3 years
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dakota eyes Alexander with disdain. Alexander peers back
[21:47] <13@Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Cheryl is dieing.
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Dakota...Cheryl's dying.
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dakota nods. "Today would be the day." 6* He notes, grimly.
[21:48] <13@Marcus> So you know about the Protocols?
15[21:48] * 13@Chad`Winters eyes Dakota. 1"You knew?"
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> Yeah. Alpha Ariel, Baxter, Cheryl, and Dakota were all told.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> *myself
[21:48] <13@Chad`Winters> Why just you four?
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gapes
03[21:48] * Exio is now known as Kulix
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> You knew, and you didn't tell us?!
[21:48] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias sighs, rolling his sleeve back down
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> It was decided after Baxter went nutty not to tell any more of the Alphas.
[21:49] <13@Marcus> They were the first ones made, their reactions probably determined why the others weren't told.
09[21:49] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Huh... just the first four..."
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dakota looks at Zephyr. "Sorry, kid. We didn't want you to know."
09[21:49] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Well we need the kid to see if we can overcome the protocols."
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> Haven't seen 'em.
[21:50] <13@Chad`Winters> What did they tell you about the protocols?
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander rolls his eyes, moving out of earshot
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> Basically, that when were all made, there was a genetic defect trying to match human DNA with Mother's. It resulted in unstable DNA - so they designed it to last for 16 years. Really, it starts a bit before it - for example, I'm in a lot of pain right now, and can't do any real fighting anymore.
[21:52] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> HAH! So I can kick your ass.
[21:52] <13@Cassandra`> You're handling it well then.
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gapes
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> Pain medicine
15[21:52] * 13@Marcus tilts his head. "So you don't even try to find a cure?"
[21:52] <13@Cassandra`> Someone elbow Dias.
15[21:52] * 13@Chad`Winters pauses, slowly looking at Zephyr now. That look in his eyes.
09[21:52] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Wait... I didn't notice Cheryl takin anything..."
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> We were told there wasn't a cure. I've had a few of the Alphas trying to find answers, but there's nothing really left about the Alphas out there.
[21:52] <13@Chad`Winters> About how long before that?
09[21:52] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "You mean she's just been living in pain?"
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> That's because Cheryl one touch bitch
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 's
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> *tough
09[21:53] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> 'I agree there."
[21:53] <13@Marcus> Probably why she drinks so much. Think about it.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> About a month, I say.
[21:53] <13@Chad`Winters> So you've been feeling stuff for about a month before the 16 year mark.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> It manifests are muscle pains and heart pains
09[21:54] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Look, Dakota, are you protecting the kid? If we can find a cure, it could save all of you."
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> Didn't I say there was no kid here?
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin sighs. "We know the child is here. Chii told us."
09[21:54] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "People say a lot of things."
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Dakota...I don't want you all to die. We need to do something!
[21:55] <13@Marcus> We don't want Ben. We just need some of his blood.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> Look, kid. You're lucky. You'll outlast all of us
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dakota peers at Zephyr
09[21:55] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Look, kid, you're lucky, you'll get to see your family die."
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Because I was born last. That's really mean.
15[21:56] * 13@Chad`Winters shoots a glare at Wolf
09[21:56] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Pleae, think about it from her prespective."
09[21:56] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "No one wants that."
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> No. Your genetic makeup was repaired.
09[21:56] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf looks over at Zephyr.
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dakota kneels a bit, wincing in pain. "And as long as one of us makes it, then we'll be remembered."
15[21:56] * 13@Chad`Winters turns, looking back at Dakota. 1"When?"
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> When she was turned into a baby. Whatever happened in the core fixed her. Cheryl did a blood test on her
09[21:57] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "...But if she's been repaired... she could be more a key then Ben could..."
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks
09[21:57] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "...or not..."
09[21:57] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Wait... turned into a baby? What the bloody fuck?"
[21:57] <13@Chad`Winters> The core...6He rubs his temples.
[21:57] <13@Marcus> Wolf stop responding to everything. Sheesh.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> 'fraid not. 6* He stands. "We each have different DNA donnors."
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks down. "You mean that...fixed ...me?"
[21:58] <13@Marcus> Well let's just throw you all at overloading cores then. *he shrugs*
09[21:58] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "What core...?" *she looks at Chad now*
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin crosses his arms. "That was probably a fluke. Plus, I think Zephyr unlocked her aging protocols before hand, too."
[21:58] <13@Marcus> She did. *he notes*
[21:58] <13@Chad`Winters> She did.
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, I did...
[21:59] <13@Marcus> If the answer for helping Cheryl resides in Ben's blood, why would you keep him from us?
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> Basically, we both agreed that since Zephyr was fine, that we'd move on quietly if we couldn't find any answers or ways t ofix it
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> Lets assume he is here. Most likely, someone who's his mother would have told me to keep him hidden. And I respect said mother
[22:00] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> He's also as stubborn as me.
09[22:00] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "You repsect her enough to let her die, does that sound a little backwards?"
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She looks away, trying to process this. "I don't want Cheryl to die. She...took care of me when there was no one else."
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> I'm not letting that man near Ben. 6* He eyes Alexander
[22:01] <13@Chad`Winters> What if I did it? 6He looks at Dakota again
09[22:01] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Then let us near Ben and we'll beat his ass if he does anything funny."
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> You know what to look for with his blood, then?
[22:01] <13@Chad`Winters> He can tell me what to look for.
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> Fine. I'll let you near the kid, but that's only because you're his uncle.
15[22:02] * 13@Chad`Winters nods. 1"Thank you."
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> Have Dias lead you to my house
[22:03] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Still live in that shit house? 6He looks at Dakota.
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dakota puts an arm arund Zephyr. "Come with me, kiddo. We should talk."
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dakota glares at Dias. "Show some respect." 6* He moves off, stiffly, clearly hurting. Zephyr eyes him worriedly
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin lets out a breath. "Are all the Dragoons so stubborn...?" 6* He asks the sky
15[22:03] * 13@Marcus watches them go, then glances at Dias, then looks to Paladin. "Yeah, Ariel was their mom, afterall."
[22:04] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Last time I called it that, he threw me out a window. 6He claps his hands together. 1"Let's go." He starts moving off that way.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander moves back over.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> We going to the child?
15[22:04] * 13@Marcus turns and moves after Dias.
15[22:04] * 13@Chad`Winters eyes Marcus, and shakes his head. Moving after Dias.
09[22:04] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "We're stayin here sir."
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander follows along.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin walks after them
09[22:05] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf grumbles and follows.
[22:05] <13@Chad`Winters> <SPoC> ...It is odd that he does not follow us there. 6She moves after the others.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* A bird lands on Cassandra, cleaning itself
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* They arrive at a building that was handbuilt brick by brick
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dakota steps out of the house, eyeing the crowd
[22:08] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ahh the fond memories. 6He eyes the house.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> You can come in. 6* He tells Chad
15[22:08] * 13@Chad`Winters nods and moves to follow Dakota
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> You realize I have to be with the child to do my work?
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dakota eyes him then Chad
09[22:09] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Chad will be your proxy sir."
[22:09] <13@Chad`Winters> Can't use a comm or a data transfer?
15[22:09] * 13@Cassandra` moves after the group.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> It won't work that way. I have to be there to do the scans, and react instantly to what I'm seeing
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* The bird falls off
15[22:09] * 13@Chad`Winters bites his lip, not hiding the fact he's annoyed.
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dakota eyes Alexander. "I'm not letting him in this house."
09[22:10] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf grumbles. Vice Presidents are always annoying, well known fact.
15[22:10] * 13@Marcus crosses his arms and glances at Cran, then shakes his head. "I thought we only needed his blood?"
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I said before it was going to be more than that
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> If that was the case, you could have brought the blood to me on Earth
15[22:11] * 13@Chad`Winters shakes his head, pinching the bridge of his nose now.
09[22:11] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Cheryl's got how long now?"
[22:12] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Psst Wolf. We get it already.
15[22:12] * 13@Marcus sighs. "Jesus." He rubs his head.
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> So, did we all make a pointless trip here, or are we going to do this?
09[22:12] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf pointedly ignore Dias. "Bring the kid out then."
15[22:13] * 13@Chad`Winters glances at Zephyr. 1"What do you want to do?"
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers from inside, then shrugs. "I don't know, Chad...I don't want the Alphas to die, but Cheryl...didn't want him near Ben."
09[22:14] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Cheryl can keep not wanting it when we save her life."
[22:14] <13@Chad`Winters> Than she can hate me. 6He looks at Dakota. 1"I'll watch his every move."
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> .... Fine
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander nods, speaking into his comm. "Have the second shuttle land beside this location."
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> The equipment will be on the shuttle. You can all crowd in and watch me like a hawk
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves to get Ben before Dakota get object.
[22:15] <13@Chad`Winters> You'll wipe the computers when we get our answer.
09[22:15] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf eyes Alexander.
[22:16] <13@Marcus> I'd rather stay out here. *he notes, probably not wanting to even meet the Kid*
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander doesn't bother to acknowledge Chad.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr carries an almost 3 year old boy out, with blonde hair like his mother, but his father's eyes.
15[22:17] * 13@Chad`Winters clenches his left fist slightly then lets it go, eyeing Zephyr and Ben
09[22:17] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf grumbles and goes to find a seat somewhere.
15[22:17] * 13@Marcus shifts to turn around, looking up in the sky, probably for that shuttle
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> <Ben> ... Paininass! 6* He points at Chad, smiling happily at remembering his name
15[22:18] * 13@Chad`Winters rolls his eyes. 1"Leave it to Cheryl."
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* A shuttle can be seen coming down, and begins to land beside the team.
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles sadly.
09[22:18] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf looks over then bursts into laughter.
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes, now that I have the child in my clutches, I can do my evil schemes. Evil laughter now. 6* He says in a bored tone, perhaps annoyed with all the accussations
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle lands and a ramp lowers. Eve Winters steps down it
09[22:19] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "Don't forget the monolouge to the child about how he'll one day be emporer."
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> How silly of me to forget
15[22:19] * 13@Chad`Winters looks over at Dakota. 1"You said that Zephyr was fine after the core event, right?"
09[22:20] <13@Jennifer`> Wolf> "And you call yourself a villain!"
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* He moves to the shuttle. "This process is going to take several hours. Those of you aren't going to watch me with guns readied, you should get sleep while yo ucan
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dakota nods. Zephyr carries Ben over to Eve, who smiles at the child, waving at him, a light in her eyes at seeing the kid. She makes baby faces
15[22:20] * 13@Marcus tilts his head, watching Eve oddly.
15[22:20] * 13@Cassandra` walks off to catch a breather then.
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves off with Cassandra
[22:21] <13@Chad`Winters> It couldn't have been the core. It must've been the aging thing. 6He looks over at Eve then Alexander and starts moving towards them.
15[22:21] * 13@Marcus then smacks Dias. "Come'on, then. Show me the sights."
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dakota blinks, then takes a pill for his pain.
[22:21] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias howls. 1"I am not going to show you where I grew up."
[22:22] <13@Cassandra`> I am not sure if I should laugh or cry, sir.
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve helps Zephyr get Ben to the chair, where Eve talks to him to relax him. Zephyr watches quietly, probably thinking about how she won't have any kids of her own
[22:22] <13@Chad`Winters> Have Zephyr explain it to you. It had to be that.
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> I know the feeling, Cassandra
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> <Dakota> We checked her after the aging thing. She was still defected
09[22:23] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf sighs and stretches. She walks over to Paladin. "Permission to rest sir?"
[22:23] <13@Marcus> What, why not?
[22:23] <13@Cassandra`> The drama.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Granted.
09[22:23] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf nods and walks off back towards the shuttle.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods at Cassandra. "I'm not going to be foolishly blinded and say Alexander doesn't have his own agendas, but to hold him in such disdain for what General Cran did is pointless now."
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander hooks an IV into Ben's arm, the boy looking like he wants to cry at being poked, then turns on the scanning equipment. He moves to his computer, eyeing the data
15[22:24] * 13@Chad`Winters steps into the shuttle, crossing his arms
[22:24] <13@Cassandra`> Its why I'm glad I'm not in your shoes anymore.
[22:25] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Fine fine. Let's go. 6He leads the way
15[22:25] * 13@Marcus moves off after him.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods, letting out a sigh. "By the way, I was wondering how Billy has been doing?"
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve sits with Ben, asking him innocent questions, and Zephyr just sorts of watches with a look of someone who's depressed
15[22:27] * 13@Chad`Winters reaches his hand over, squeezing Zephyr's shoulder. His eyes on Alex and the monitor
[22:27] <13@Cassandra`> She's been herself for the most part.
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, glancing up
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> That's good, then. But--I haven't seen her actually mourning the loss. All of us need to mourn, or it'll bottle up inside us.
[22:28] <13@Cassandra`> Its...difficult to explain.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Oh?
[22:28] <13@Cassandra`> During that battle, she took in Setsuna's mind and soul into herself.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dias passes the spot where Cheryl use to beat his ass at the fountain
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> I see. Has that had any negative effects?
[22:29] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> This where Cheryl used to beat me on a daily basis. It was fun.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander goes through the data, leaned back. Eve takes a break from talking a moment and steps off the shuttle to do something
[22:29] <13@Marcus> That's funny. That's sorta the way I was trained too. Guess we have something else in common.
[22:30] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Oh I remember how Seraphna killed you like 300 times
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* They pass by a tree where Zephyr taught Dias things like reading/writing, Basic
[22:30] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hey...Zephyr taught me basic here.
[22:30] <13@Cassandra`> Not so far..but Billy did express a desire to find a body for Setsuna's soul.
[22:31] <13@Marcus> Yeah, no thanks to any of you assholes. *He glances and then widens his eyes* You know Basic!?
[22:31] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Kinda.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:31] <13@Cassandra`> Its a touch strange.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> Location: HQ
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is sitting up, the doctor attaching something to her hip and chest as she requested during a moment Chii was fetching her something. When Chii returns, she would find the scene going on
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits in a chair, her legs crossed, frowning
03[22:33] * Kuroichigo is now known as Freyja
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> <Doctor> I'm against this, but everything is set up like you asked
03[22:33] * Freyja is now known as Chii`
[22:33] <13Chii`> What's going on?
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances over. She's practically naked still, so she shifts her chest to bounce her breasts somewhat to distract Chii
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nothing
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina raises a brow, eyeing Cheryl's two distractions
[22:34] <13Chii`> That doesn't look like nothing.
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> She had the doctor put a machine on her to give her adrenaline and pain killers to help her move about
[22:35] <13Chii`> Excuse me?
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. Thanks, McCormick. So much for doing a threesome with you and Chii now
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives a helpless shrug
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> If I did a threesome, would you stop asking annoying questions?
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* She asks Chii
[22:37] <13Chii`> No, probably not
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Seriously? What the fuck.
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* The doctor finishes and moves to do some paperwork, less he get caught in this
15[22:37] * 13Chii` sighs, eyeing Cheryl in a heavy manner. "This isn't a game to me, Cheryl."
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Look. Fine.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't want to spend my time flat on my back. Whatever Freyja did, I can move about again. And I might live for another 3 or 4 days. I'd like to do stuff during that time. Maybe even make love to you some more.
[22:38] <13Chii`> What are you going to do with your... 'Mobility?'
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> But, first on my agenda, is to go the Colony, and kill Alexander.
15[22:39] * 13Chii` pauses. "What?"
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> She's quite adamament since the doctor let it slip where everyone went
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not letting that man touch my kid
[22:40] <13Chii`> I'm sorry Cheryl. Hate me, if you like, but I told him.
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She eyes Chii, then just looks away. "I don't hate you. I don't want to spend my last few days alive hating you or even being angry with you. Not the last thing I want to feel anymore."
[22:41] <13Chii`> Then don't go.
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... if he did something to Ben, I'd roll in my grave.
[22:41] <13Chii`> He wouldn't make it a day still breathing.
15[22:42] * 13Chii` crosses her arms, closing her eyes. "Not even requiring me to lift a finger."
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She sighs, wincing slightly in pain from her chest. "... ...then what can I do? I don't want to stay in this medical bay, eyeing the clock. It's why I wanted to do everything I could with you while I could do it."
[22:42] <13Chii`> What Zephyr said... Family. It may not be a stable one, but...
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies the two, staying quiet.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her
[22:44] <13Chii`> If any of this family were hurt, everything would be forgotten. Perhaps the vengeance therein makes this a terrifying entity, but it is what it is. I... Am glad to be a part of it. And... That man...
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
[22:44] <13Chii`> A false being like myself.
[22:44] <13Chii`> He may just want a family as well.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the wall. "Tch. Come over here, would you?"
15[22:45] * 13Chii` opens her eyes a bit, then stares before doing so.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls her into a hug and onto the hospital bed with her, cuddling up to her like Zephyr might would do Megumi. Katrina politely rises and moves to leave them alone
[22:47] <13Chii`> Cheryl... No one wants you ..to go. To suffer anymore.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Shhh. Just hold me.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> Location: Dragoon Colony
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alarms sound in the city. Alexander looks up, distracted
15[22:48] * 13@Chad`Winters glances up briefly
15[22:48] * 13@Marcus glances up, looking around. "What the hell?"
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks and moves out. Unidentified shuttles begin to fly in from the sky, heading right for the shuttle with Ben
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances up, his eyes narrowing
[22:49] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks around, then upwards. 1"What's going on?"
09[22:49] <13@Jennifer`> * Wolf grumbles and gets up, grabbing her weapons before running to the others. "Always something..."
[22:49] <13@Cassandra`> Trouble always finds us. *pulls out one of her guns and slides in an ammo clip*
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttles begin to fire blasts toward the shuttle with Ben. It seems someone has come for the dragoon birthed child
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> -TO BE CONTINUED-
03[22:50] * DeathStar changes topic to 'TAW 4: TEP (251-present) | TAW 4: PAX has ended (1-250) | Season 17 (Judgements): 2 of 20 complete | Overall Session #333 (883) | Episode Three: The Alpha Protocols Part 2 | 3 of 7 | Sessions occur T/Th at 8 EST | Please visit our sister RPG #Erevis'
[18:50] <13@DeathStar> -During Episode 2 of TAW4-
03[18:50] * Seraphna is now known as Jennifer`
[18:50] <13@DeathStar> Location: HQ
[18:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* As Cheryl and Chii spend time in Cheryl's room, and Sardis in his own room, Jennifer has decided to bother poor, kind Katrina with pestering questions
[18:51] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Well. I enjoy romance novels mostly.
09[18:51] <13@Jennifer`> "Oh... I enjoy mystery novels a lot."
[18:52] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? Why's that?
09[18:53] <13@Jennifer`> "The suspense, trying to figure out who did it before I reach the end is lots of fun."
03[18:55] * Xan|Sleep is now known as Xanatos
[18:55] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I see. 6* She nods, smiling. "I think I might have some mystery novels you'd like, then."
15[18:56] * 13@Jennifer` blinks a little, "Really?"
[18:56] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes.
09[18:56] <13@Jennifer`> "What books?"
[18:56] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Mystery novels. 6* She repeats, not elaborating.
15[18:57] * 13@Jennifer` grins a little. "Oh I see, I gotta read em to find out."
03[18:57] * Kuroichigo is now known as Megumi
[18:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods
15[18:58] * 13@Jennifer` rocks on her feet a bit. "So... what else do you like to do for fun?"
[18:59] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm. Why would you like to know? 6* She asks curiously, folding her hands in her lap, wondering if Jen is just asking questions out of boredom, or if she has some reason
03[18:59] * Kulix (Kulix@h45.228.91.75.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
15[19:00] * 13@Jennifer` looks down a little, "Just want to get to know you better, I don't really talk to many people and it's not like Aya is a chatterbox."
[19:00] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Well. I like to do many things. I try to keep an open mind about things. I like to watch movies, go to clubs and dance, and to have sex. 6* She notes
15[19:01] * 13@Jennifer` goes red in the face, "O-Oh..."
[19:01] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> You did ask what I liked to do for fun. 6* She notes.
09[19:02] <13@Jennifer`> "Wh-What kinda movies... Romance too? Romanitc comedies?" *she guesses, probably trying to steer away from the final part*
[19:02] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I enjoy those types, yes.
09[19:03] <13@Jennifer`> "Ah... I kinda like comedies too... not old enough to go to clubs... I think."
[19:05] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Depends on the club.
15[19:05] * 13@Jennifer` looks up, "There's clubs kids my age can go to?"
[19:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finally sneaks out of her room, in loose fitting clothes, taking labored breaths, moving to go to the mess hall to find something to drink
[19:06] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Of course. No alcoholic drinks, naturally
09[19:06] <13@Jennifer`> "Well naturally... I don't like it when people drink anyway..."
[19:07] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I see.
15[19:08] * 13@Jennifer` looks around the room a little. "It's not like I get uncomforterable, it's just most of the people I know who drink act... well they don't act better when drunk."
09[19:09] <13@Jennifer`> "Except maybe Dias, he seems to get the opposite going."
[19:09] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> It depends on the person.
[19:10] <13Kulix> *Sardis' door slides open as Cheryl passes "Hel-lo beautiful." he says, stepping out to eye her
[19:11] <13Megumi> * A gun clicks as Sardis says that-- from upward
09[19:11] <13@Jennifer`> "That's true, I haven't seen you drunk... I think, or some other people."
[19:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, turning to eye him, blinking a few times. She's a pretty woman, in her early mid-twenties, with blue eyes, and longish blonde hair. She has remarkably white, smoothy skin, as well, since she is no longer corrupted
[19:11] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wow. I must be dying. Because I see a Tsivrixsh hitting on me.
[19:12] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, I've drank from to time - socially.
09[19:12] <13@Jennifer`> "I must have never noticed." *she smiles, seeming to find this good*
[19:13] <13Kulix> *Sardis glances up at Chii holding the gun " Nice pea-shooter. " he glances back down to Cheryl, smirking " The good news is heaven isnt so far away. " he steps forward, looking her over as he strokes his chin
09[19:14] <13@Jennifer`> "In my reality, Dad never had the problem... but it seems here he did. So I'm a bit worried that I might have a problem if I drink... I doubt he'd want me too either."
[19:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sends Chii a "hold off" thought in the bond, then glances at him, smiling, looking very cute. "Really?" 6* She even manages to sound like a ditzy blonde
[19:14] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Sometimes people use alcohol to hide their pain, and don't know when they've gone too far. That's when it becomes a problem
09[19:15] <13@Jennifer`> "Oh..." *she doesn't ask a question that time, looking a little inward*
[19:15] <13Megumi> * Chii's in the vents... But it is Chii
[19:16] <13Kulix> *Sardis reaches to grab Cheryl's shoulders, smiling evily down on her " That depends, darling. whether or not you want to go walk towards the light. "
[19:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl acts like she's gushing, then attempts to grab Sardis' hand and twist his wrist around to cause pain - she's very quick, even by Tsivrixsh standards. "I'll pass, buddy."
[19:18] <13Kulix> *Sardis winces lightly, keeping his smile as she twists " General Cheryl I presume? " he chuckles " I like em fiesty.. "
[19:18] <13Megumi> * Chii unhooks a grate and drops down, wearing tight shorts and one of Cheryl's tank tops. "...what's with the Tsivrixsh invasion all of a sudden?"
[19:18] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That'd be me. And if you like them feisty, well. You'd just love my girlfriend. 6* She ods at the grate.
[19:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies Jennifer
09[19:19] <13@Jennifer`> "Well... I should give you your time alone..." *she looks a bit inward still, looking at anything but Kat directly*
[19:19] <13Kulix> *Sardis raises a brow, turning his head to check out Chii " We could make a party of it then. "
[19:19] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright. But if you need to talk about anything, I'm here. 6* She smiles at Jennifer
[19:20] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wow. I've seen everything. A Tsivrixsh player.
[19:20] <13Kulix> <Sardis> You havn't seen anything yet.
[19:20] <13Megumi> * Chii waves the gun, only having one of her pistols without her belts. She tucks it into her shorts. "Why're you giving him ideas?"
[19:20] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You should probably try those lines on someone who's lacking some brain cells. Like the redhead
[19:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii. "I just came out here to get a beer. I'm not giving anyone ideas."
15[19:21] * 13@Jennifer` smiles back and nods quietly. "Thanks Kat... it means a lot to me."
[19:21] <13Megumi> <Chii> H-hey, don't be mean to Kat, Cherry...
[19:21] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch.
[19:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "You're welcome."
15[19:22] * 13@Jennifer` backs out of the room and closes the door behind her, she sighs and hangs her head, before heading to her room to get her training clothes.
[19:22] <13Kulix> <Sardis> I'll keep that in mind. Are you done holding my hand, General? *He turns his gaze back to Cheryl
[19:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs, letting go. "Guess so."
[19:23] <13Megumi> * Chii mumbles, then growls at Sardis. "Don't do that again or you'll lose something."
[19:23] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You make me so hot when you defend my honor, Chii. 6* She says in a false swoon
[19:24] <13Megumi> <Chii> Sh-shut up!" She storms back toward the room
[19:24] <13Kulix> *He draws it back, wringing it with his other hand " And so strong too.." he smirks at Chii " I really would like to see you try. I have a soft spot for fem fatales.." He stands upright, bringing his arms to his side " But pleasantries aside, I am Sardis Tsenvi. I am the replacement for Xrileshir. "
[19:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. Lets hope you're half as interesting as him
[19:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl calls out. "You sure you want to leave me alone with him? He might do things to me."
[19:26] <13Kulix> *Turning back to Cheryl " So how about that drink? I'm interested to see what you humans will be exporting. "
[19:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, I can't afford to drink too much right now. I just wanted a simple beer... 6* She glances ot the side.
15[19:27] * 13@Jennifer` passes by Cheryl and Sardis, she looks at Cheryl then the Tsiv.
[19:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Jen once
15[19:28] * 13@Jennifer` eyes her back, poorly masking the look of concern.
[19:28] <13Kulix> *Sardis doesnt seem to notice as he continues eyeing Cheryl " A simple beer it is then. Whatever that is. "
[19:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods. "Follow me." 6* She moves to the mess hall
[19:30] <13Kulix> *He nods to Jen once, winking, before following Cheryl
15[19:30] * 13@Jennifer` blinks a little, and watches them go.
15[19:30] * 13@Jennifer` sighs and moves on, grabbign her gym bag from under her bed and changing out of her uniform.
[19:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* An asian girl sits in the training room, legs crossed, wearing a gothic lolita outfit - she's 18 years old, and quite the beauty, with an expression much like Setsuna's as she eyes the walls
15[19:32] * 13@Jennifer` steps in in her training outfit, a tank top and sweats, and puts her bag down, looking over at Billy.
[19:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy studies the wall
09[19:33] <13@Jennifer`> "Still looking for structural flaws?"
[19:34] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> It's not hard to find them.
09[19:35] <13@Jennifer`> "We seem to have a lot huh?"
[19:37] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Yes. 6* She eyes Jennifer, almost as if looking into her flaws
09[19:38] <13@Jennifer`> "I'm still damaged from Dad's death, I'm overly introverted, and I tend to be naive."
15[19:38] * 13@Jennifer` points them out for Billy.
[19:38] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Go on.
09[19:39] <13@Jennifer`> "I spend too much time trying to follow others footsteps and I never see my own choices because of it. I let my emotions get the best of my and my obsessions rule the choices I make."
[19:39] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Go on.
15[19:40] * 13@Jennifer` gives the punching back a good hit in it's center. "I shift my balance a little too slowly."
[19:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy just seems to wait for her to continue now
15[19:42] * 13@Jennifer` frowns and gives it a hit with every sentance. "I've got no close friends. I focus so hard on the future I'm preventing meeting any. And I'm short."
[19:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy waits for more.
09[19:43] <13@Jennifer`> "I can't let go of the past. I'm frustrated that the war's over before I could at least get a punch in for Dad. I'm lonely."
[19:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* See above.
15[19:44] * 13@Jennifer` ends the last punch and looks up at her. "Anything else to add?"
[19:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy blinks, glancing over. "You were saying something?"
15[19:45] * 13@Jennifer` frowns and delivers two kicks to the punching bag. "And I'm trying to talk to you, forgot that."
[19:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy rises to her feet, dusts herself off, and steps out of the room
03[19:46] * Jackieness (Psy@h116.230.140.67.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
03[19:46] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
15[19:46] * 13@Jennifer` just starts to punch and kick away her frustrations, going into the flowing movements that use the grace of her body rather then strength she doesn't possess.
[19:47] <13@DeathStar> -END-
[01:35] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: 10-589.3.23
[01:35] <13@DeathStar> Location: HQ
[01:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Two military officers step out of the transport that has brought Sardis to the base. They talk to the guards on duty outside the base, then turn to look at Sardis. "A representative from the base will be out here momentarily to take you inside, sir. Most of the team is currently involved on a mission of great importance, so the leader of the unit cannot speak with you at this time."
[01:37] <13Kulix> <Sardis> What could be more important than my arrival? *he grins, crossing his arms as he studies the building
[01:38] <13@DeathStar> <Officer> I believe they are attempting to save the life of the second in command.
[01:38] <13Kulix> <Sardis> Oh? Cute fortification you have here.
[01:38] <13@DeathStar> <Officer> Cute, sir?
[01:39] <13Kulix> <Sardis> Can't understand common?
[01:39] <13Kulix> NRP: Basic
[01:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* He looks at Sardis oddly, as if wondering if the Tsivrixsh is mad. "I understand fine, sir. I don't see why you would use the word cute unless you weren't properly taught Basic."
[01:40] <13Kulix> <Sardis> Where is this representative anyway? Dont they know its rude to keep guests waiting. *He says ignoring the guard's comment
[01:40] <13@DeathStar> <Officer> As I said, most of the team is gone, sir. I don't think they were expecting you at all. The Vice President himself is off world.
[01:41] <13Kulix> Werent they notified of my emminent arrival?
03[01:41] * Kulix is now known as Sardis
[01:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* The door opens finally and standing there is a woman in her early thirties, with red hair just a few inches in length past her shoulders. She is wearing a blue uniform, the color of the EarthGov military. She has green eyes, and is quite beautiful. "I'm afraid we weren't. Hello, my name is Katrina McCormick." 6* She holds out a hand
15[01:45] * 13Sardis glances at Katrina, giving her the look over before taking a thoughtful gaze. extending a hand to shake Katrina's as he draws himself uncomfortably close " The pleasure is all mine. Sardis Tsenvi at your service. "
[01:46] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Nice to meet you, Sardis of the house of Tsenvi. 6* She says, using the formal way of name. If she's unnerved at the proximity of his body to her own, she doesn't show it. "Follow me. We'll stop by the infirmary so the doctor can take a sample of your blood, and then I'll get you to your room quarters. I'm afraid that General Cheryl is in her own rooms, so she can't assist you just yet."
[01:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns and begins to move inside the base
[01:48] <13Sardis> Safety first. *He follows behind her, glancing around at the human base as he takes in his surroundings* How they ever managed to defeat the empire with this equipment I may never know..
[01:49] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> We have our quirks. 6* She says, her tone cheerfully polite. Either she takes no offense to the way he said that, or she hides it exceptionally well
[01:50] <13Sardis> Security measures, I assume? The blood sample? Forensics and what not? Xrileshir made no mention of this.
[01:51] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> By having your DNA in our computers, you'll be able to move about more freely, and if something goes wrong, the computer won't think you're an enemy combatant.
[01:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* They enter the medical bay - it's a well equipped room, with consoles and medical devices all over, plus separate side rooms for patients who need more privacy than just the beds out in the main area. Currently in one of the beds is an Asian girl with white hair cut just a bit shorter than her shoulders, and a woman who looks like a young Katrina McCormick - in the age range of about 26. Her beautiful red hair is extremely long (cont)
[01:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Going down past her butt, though there some noticeable white streaks, though still very small at this point, in her hair. It doesn't make her look old, as it's a beautiful, pure color of white. The woman is sitting beside the Asian woman, holding her hand. She, too, has green eyes, but her position is more dignified and rigid, a contrast to the friendliness and ease Katrina demonstrates.
[01:54] <13Sardis> Oh, so your weapons can lock onto enemy DNA. I'll have to remember that. *he glances around the medical bay* And this is the butcher's eh?
[01:54] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> To get yourself a card key to access the various places in the base, you'll need to talk to General Cheryl or General Paladin. 6* She pauses. "Butcher...?"
[01:55] <13Sardis> Butcher's. *He glances sidelong at Katrina* Whats with you humans? You'd think you'd be more fluent in your own language.
[01:56] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> It's a medical bay, Sardis. A butcher refers to a place that packages and cuts meat.
09[01:57] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer sticks her head into the Medical bay, eyes widening as she sees the Tsiv are invading.
[01:57] <13Sardis> So do I. *He says, pacing towards the medical equipment as he looks it over. He picks up a foreign utensil studying it
[01:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other red head pays them no mind, somehow. The doctor moves in finally. <Katrina> Here's the representative from the Tsivrixsh Empire, Doctor Dre. 6* The doctor pauses, glancing over Sardis, then gets his datapad
[01:58] <13@DeathStar> <Doctor> If you don't mind, sir, please hold out your hand.
09[01:59] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer creeps in slowly.
[01:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Jennifer; she's not that sneaky or clever.
15[02:00] * 13Sardis looks at the docter, then over his shoulder at the creeping school girl. He glances back at the doctor holding out his hand, then points the device at Jennifer as if it were a gun " Bang. "
[02:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* The doctor waves the datapad over his hand; a slight prick, but there's no sign of a puncture when the doctor removes the datapad. "All done. Thank you." 6* He moves to sit down, and then repeat the same line over and over, being a NPC.
09[02:01] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer eeps and falls over, looking warily at the new Tsiv.
[02:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other redhead finally peers at Sardis and Jennifer, tilting her head with a blank look
09[02:02] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "S-So they sent a Xril replacement...?"
[02:02] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> This is Sardis Tsenvi, Jennifer. Sardis, this is Jennifer.
[02:02] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Jennifer Carmichael.
[02:02] <13Sardis> Oh please. Dont compare me to that disgrace.
15[02:03] * 13Sardis tosses the device back onto a table carelessly, looking back at Katrina " Whats next? "
09[02:03] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer blinks a little. "Nice to meet you Sardis... and I liked Xril."
[02:03] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm. I'll take you to an empty room. The General shouldn't mind if I give you one now.
[02:04] <13Sardis> Alot of people seem to like 'Xril'. How that low life made it to his position is beyond me.
[02:04] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> If you don't mind, Sardis, talk with Jennifer for a moment while I check the computer for an available room
[02:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* She steps into the doctor's office room to go over the rooms
09[02:05] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "I don't know. I don't go one missions and see him fight."
[02:05] <13Sardis> Do what you gotta do. *He watches her go, then eyes down at Jennifer for a moment, turning to glance at the other readhead with the blank expression
[02:05] <13Sardis> Then what DO you do? *he asks Jennifer
09[02:06] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "...Go to school?"
[02:06] <13Sardis> Your how old?
09[02:08] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> Fifteen."
09[02:09] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer looks up and him, a 15 year old human girl, a little short for her age with long brown hair, she presently wears a schoolgirl's uniform and one of her hands looks a little odd on her person.
[02:10] <13Sardis> Those better be combat courses your taking because the older you get the harder it is to get an edge. Then again, you dont look like the type fit for combat..
09[02:11] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "I umm... I train in my free time."
09[02:13] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "I'm really good at running away from Dark Ones and surviving... though that doesn't matter anymore."
09[02:14] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer runs one of her hands over the other.
15[02:14] * 13Sardis is a Tsiv, tall by human standards but not as tall as Xrileshir, or nearly as brawny. He crosses his arms looking down at her with a peircing stare " You look nervous. ":
[02:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other woman is wearing a pretty kimono, with snow flakes on it
09[02:16] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer looks up and meets that stares. "Well... your people and mine did just have a great big war."
[02:17] <13Sardis> And I'm standing in the base of the people I was killing a few days ago.
[02:17] <13Sardis> Whats your point?
[02:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other woman listens to the two, her head tilted, a curious expression now
09[02:19] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "You're a trained warrior and I'm a teenager?"
[02:21] <13Sardis> I'm sorry- I must have FORGOTTEN that Human adolescents arent physically developed OR trained. Silly me. *he turns to the woman* Need something?
[02:23] <13@DeathStar> <Woman> No, I do not require anything. 6* She states, without looking away
09[02:23] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "Forgotten or were ignorant of the fact?"
[02:23] <13Sardis> Anything I can help clear up? Obviously your trying to discern something.
[02:24] <13@DeathStar> <Woman> Hm. No. I am just listening to you two as you speak. It is fascinating. 6* She states
[02:25] <13Sardis> Must be a dull existance around here. Its called SARCASM. *He notes to Jennifer
[02:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* The woman continues to listen
09[02:27] <13@Seraphna> Jennier> "Oh it's never dull."
15[02:27] * 13Sardis walks towards the woman, glancing over the asian girl " What happened to this one? Injurred during the war? "
[02:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* The asian girl appears to be about 17 herself, and though her hair mostly covers it, has elf like ears. The redhead shakes her head once. "No. She is recovering after temporarily saving the life of Alpha Cheryl."
[02:31] <13Sardis> *He pulls a seat up, swivling it around and sits in it backwards as he looks over at the woman " What about you? Why are you here? "
09[02:32] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "She's one of the civilians who get called in for difficult missions."
[02:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* She tilts her head at how he sits in the chair, then looks back at him. Her face is typically stoic, revealing little emotion. "I am here to watch over Megumi Zhenmei as she recovers."
[02:35] <13Sardis> I think she'll recover without your presence. Surely there must be more interesting persuits for you.
09[02:36] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "They're together. You do that for someone you care about."
[02:36] <13@DeathStar> <Woman> No. The only thing that matters to me currently is to be by her side, unless I am needed elsewhere for battle or to accomplish something only I can do. As I am unneeded in either scenario, I will remain here."
[02:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* She tilts her head at Jennifer, blinking now
[02:36] <13@DeathStar> <Woman> Of course we are together. She is 1 foot away from me.
09[02:36] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer looks back at her. "I mean in a relationship."
[02:37] <13@DeathStar> <Woman> Ah. I see. 6* She nods once. "I would do this for any one I care about. Though more so for Megumi Zhenmei."
09[02:37] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer smiles a little. "She'll be alright won't she?"
15[02:37] * 13Sardis looks over his shoulder at Jennifer and then back at the Woman " Xril had warned me about human females and their.. habits as he calls them. "
09[02:38] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "...Habits?"
[02:39] <13Sardis> He mentioned something about two of the females here arguing naked in the halls on night.. *he sish, resting his forhead in a hand as he props his elbow on the chair* I cant remember the details..
[02:39] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I would not know about human female habits. While I am in a human female body, I am not human, nor necessarily female. And Megumi Zhenmei is from Famfrit
09[02:40] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "And the two who I bet were arguing aren't human either."
09[02:40] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "Well... one is mostly human."
[02:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head at Jennifer
09[02:43] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "Cheryl and Chii."
[02:44] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Ah, I see. So they are having biologically unforthcoming sex?
15[02:44] * 13Sardis raises a brow at Erevis "Damnit.. Where is that McCormick woman."
[02:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps out finally. "Sorry for keeping you waiting."
[02:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head at Katrina. Katrina refuses to look at Erevis, and so Erevis turns back to watching Megumi
09[02:45] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "Yeah, and they're loud."
[02:45] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Loud? 6* She peers at Jennifer oddly.
09[02:46] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "We were just discussing... ummm..." *stares at Erevis* "Did you just call it 'biologically unforthcoming sex'?"
[02:46] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> That would be correct. Sex is meant to reproduce, and since they are both female, they cannot do so.
15[02:47] * 13Sardis watches the interaction between Erevis and Katrina curiously, then stands, moving towards Katrina " Your forgiven, I suppose. I'd like to go to my quarters now. "
[02:47] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Right. 6* She nods to Jennifer. "Talk to you later, Jenny." 6* She doesn't say goodbye to Erevis, and moves out of the medical bay.
09[02:48] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer smiles. "See you Katrina!"
15[02:48] * 13Sardis follows, streatching his arms and folding his hands behind his head " So what happened between you and the other girl? "
[02:49] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm? Nothing's happened between me and Jennifer.
[02:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina points at rooms, telling Sardis who's room is which
[02:49] <13Sardis> I meant between you and the other red head.
15[02:49] * 13Sardis stops in the hallway, engaged in conversation.
[02:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina continues to move, without stopping. "Erevis? I'd rather not discuss that. Sorry."
15[02:51] * 13Sardis rolls his eyes " And here I am an open book. "
[02:51] <13Sardis> Fine. I'll be taking my room now.
[02:51] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Keep following me, then. We're not at it yet.
15[02:52] * 13Sardis follows idly down the hall
09[02:52] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer looks at Erevis, she then walks over to see how Cheryl's doing.
[02:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina's still polite, but she's a bit more closed off not, though it's not noticeably present either. She points at more doors, telling Sardis who is in that room. She points at one more. "That is General Cheryl's room, but right now she's resting, so I wouldn't bother her just yet if I were you. Your room is that one." 6* She points at the second to last door on the left of the hallway
[02:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, not bein gin the medical bay, would be hard to see
[02:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds out a card to Sardis. "This will get you in and out of your room."
09[02:54] <13@Seraphna> * Jennier fails at her attempt then and shrugs. "Where's Cheryl? I thought she was dying."
[02:54] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Alpha Cheryl? I do not know. She was not here when I arrived. Perhaps you should ask Katrina McCormick, or the doctor.
15[02:56] * 13Sardis plucks it out of Kat's hand, passing her by as he walks towards his room, sliding the card through " I have no more questions then. You may leave. "
[02:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies him once, then turns and moves on. "Right now you're not allowed in the hanger, armory, or the brig. I can't give you acess to those places yet."
15[02:57] * 13Sardis turns to eye her last statement, almost in offense, then disapears behind the sliding door
[02:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina enters her own room
09[02:59] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer nods to Erevis and steps out, heading to Kat's room.
[02:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis continues to sit with Megumi Zhenmei, her expression stoic again after Jennifer leaves. After all, there's no one there to talk with or listen to
09[03:04] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer knocks on Kat's door.
[03:04] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Enter. 6* She calls out
09[03:05] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer steps inside. "Hey Katrina."
[03:05] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Hi, Jenny. 6* She gives a warm, genuine smile. She's sitting on her bed right now
09[03:06] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer smiles back. "Hey, any idea where Cheryl went?"
[03:07] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> She's back in her room. She had the doctors outfit her with a device to help her move about.
09[03:07] <13@Seraphna> Jennifer> "Oh, okay. So whatcha up to?"
[03:07] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Just relaxing a little and thinking about what to read. Needed a moment alone. Not that your company isn't welcomed.
09[03:08] <13@Seraphna> * Jennifer nods a little and looks at her. "WHat kinda stuff do you like to read?"
[03:10] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> OH, well, I enjoy... 6* She trails off as the scene pauses
[03:11] <13@DeathStar> -PAUSE-
