[20:04] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.3.25
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> Location: HQ
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus continues to monitor the alien, who remains in a coma. Other than that, the morning has gone creepily normal. Though the President will be arriving with the shuttles soon
[20:05] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron sits at a table in the mess hall, eating.
[20:05] <13@Chad`Winters> 6SPoC sits across from Theron, sketching in her notebook.
15[20:05] * 13@Jennifer` also sits in the mess hall, eating quietly nearby SPoC and Theron.
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina sleeps in
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl works out in the training room, punching a bag around. She shifts her stance, working out some aggression and nerves.
15[20:06] * 13@Myria enters the mess hall and sits down in front of Theron.
[20:07] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias punches away at X's modified punching bag, barely moving it as he pounds into it.
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* X watches Dias
15[20:07] * 13@Jennifer` looks up and watches Myria curiously.
[20:07] <13@Myria> Hello Ther- *pauses in mid word and looks at Jennifer* What is it?
[20:08] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron peers up from his food to peer at Myria, then glances towards Jennifer.
09[20:08] <13@Jennifer`> "O-Oh, nothing." *she looks down a bit*
15[20:08] * 13@Marcus sleeps in with Kat.
[20:08] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps back after a moment, shaking his hands, which have been taped up.
[20:08] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel sits quietly up on the roof, pondering over things
[20:09] <13@Myria> Come on, what?
15[20:09] * 13@Ariel is in the mess with a cup of tea, trying to distract herself by reading over half a dozen things at once.
[20:10] <13@Chad`Winters> 6SPoC sets her pencil down and turns, her notepad around towards Theron.
[20:10] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron pauses and peers towards the notepad curiously.
15[20:10] * 13@Jennifer` looks a little trapped as she looks back up. "I-I just wanted to ask you something, it can wait Ms. Myria."
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She peers at Dias more.
[20:11] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias lets out a huff and glances around, eyeing the time. 1"...He's skipping out again."
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> <X> Why do you require someone that holds you back?
[20:11] <13@Chad`Winters> 6It's a portrait of Theron eating.
[20:11] <13@Myria> Go ahead and ask, unless its realy, really private.
[20:12] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> He doesn't hold me back. 6He looks over at X. 1"He's my friend."
15[20:12] * 13@Jennifer` holds up her hand, which looks pretty damaged with a lot of the fake skin ruined. "Just... wanted to see about repairs is all."
[20:12] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron tilts his head, then peers at his food and then the picture. 1Hmm. You are very talented. I am unsure if I would be the best subject matter for an image, though.
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> <X> If you say so.
[20:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin speaks over the comm. "Everyone, please report to the briefing room."
[20:14] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> As long as he believes in me, I can keep standing.
[20:14] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel sighs, and ripples to the briefing room.
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> <X> Sure. I doubt he believes in you
15[20:14] * 13@Ariel puts away her datapad, and heads to the briefing room, taking her cup of tea with her.
[20:14] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron clears his throat and then stands up, moving towards the briefing room now.
15[20:14] * 13@Jennifer` blinks and gets up, slipping a glove over it. "It can wait I guess."
[20:14] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ask him once. 6He moves over, grabbing a towel and wiping his face. 1"So I thought of something. I'm gonna see if I can get the General to pay you when you help out."
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, waving her hand, then moves to exit.
[20:15] <13@Myria> Ohhhhh...I cqan fix it.
[20:15] <13@Chad`Winters> 6SPoC grabs her notebook and gets up, moving out after Theron
15[20:15] * 13@Jennifer` smiles. "Thanks Myria."
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> <X> Your unit has no more jobs, outside this alien business. You should decide now if you will be my lackey for good.
15[20:15] * 13@Jennifer` heads out after SPoC.
15[20:15] * 13@Marcus snorts awake at the comm and groans, dragging himself from the bed.
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin sits in the conference room, with Alexander Cran and Eve Summers there.
[20:16] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> True, but I might be able to get him to pay you for everything before now that you've helped with. 6He tosses the towel over his shoulder. 1"You gonna sit in on the meeting?"
[20:16] <13@Myria> I'll look at it when we next have time. *heads to the conference room*
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> <X> No.
[20:16] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *steps into the conference room and takes a seat*
15[20:16] * 13@Jennifer` nods, walking along with her.
[20:16] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> Alright. 6He turns and moves out of the training room, making his way to theconference room
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks in and takes a seat, leaning back.
15[20:17] * 13@Marcus slowly puts his clothes on and wakes Kat if she isn't already. 1We're needed in the conference room.
15[20:17] * 13@Ariel eyes Cran as she takes a seat. Never really trusting that man.
[20:17] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron steps in and takes a seat,.
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits up, nodding, and moves to get dressed
[20:17] <13@Chad`Winters> 6SPoC steps in behind Theron and moves to her usual spot, sitting down
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander doesn't even glance Ariel's way.
15[20:18] * 13@Jennifer` steps in and takes a seat next to Natalie.
[20:18] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps in, the towel resting over his head now. He moves to a seat and hops into it, leaning back. 1"So we figure anything out?"
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> We're about to send a shuttle to scan the planet. 6* He clicks the viewscreen, where a single pilot is prepping it.
15[20:19] * 13@Jennifer` looks over at the screen, watching with interest.
[20:19] <13@Chad`Winters> 6SPoC looks at the viewscreen.
15[20:19] * 13@Marcus rubs at his eyes with one hand, then messes with his hair, moving to step out into the hall and wait on Kat.
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* The pilot begins to pilot the shuttle up, the camera showing what he sees; additional camera screens, smaller the main, showing the outside of the shuttle
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina finishes and steps out into the hallway.
[20:20] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances at it. 1"Well let's hope he doesn't jump into a ship or anything."
15[20:20] * 13@Marcus gives a slight stretch and smiles, moving towards the briefing room.
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> A real possibility.
[20:21] <13@Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...That makes using the light jump that much more exciting now.
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
14[20:21] * Myria (Psy@h78.21.40.69.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
09[20:21] <13@Jennifer`> "Brave pilot..."
[20:21] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias taps his chin, thinking. 1"I wonder if I could make betting pool on it."
[20:21] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...perhaps we should have sent Dias as the pilot."
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> Well, thank you, Jennifer.
15[20:22] * 13@Ariel practically jumps at the voice.
15[20:22] * 13@Jennifer` blinks a little. "Y-You're welcome Mr. Starr!"
[20:22] <13@Chad`Winters> 6Dias stumbles slightly in his chair, quickly regaining his balance. 1"Darien?!"
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Figures he'd take the assignment.
03[20:22] * Jackieness (Psy@h85.53.90.75.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
03[20:22] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> Yes, Dias? Disappointed you didn't sign up first?
15[20:23] * 13@Marcus finally steps in with Kat, peering around, he just moves to a seat.
03[20:23] * Jackieness is now known as Myria
15[20:23] * 13@Myria sits next to Theron.
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits down as well.
[20:24] <13@Marcus> What'd I miss?
03[20:24] * Chad`Winters` (chesterbot@c-76-17-177-121.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) has joined #taw
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* The pilot puts his hand on the lever and yanks it.
[20:24] <13Chad`Winters`> 6Dias eyes Cheryl. 1"I don't get it." 6He looks up. 1"Well I am a better pilot."
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Doubtful.
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* The viewscreens go out into static.
14[20:25] * Chad`Winters (chesterbot@c-76-17-177-121.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[20:25] <13Kit> <Chii> He is going to live, right?
[20:26] <13Chad`Winters`> 6Dias snorts, narrowing his eyes as he takes that as a challenge.
[20:26] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron tilts his head. 1It is risky, using someone that blacks out as well.
[20:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* They click back on a second later, showing three Tsivrixsh cruisers up ahead. Darien immediately responds by hitting a booster.
[20:26] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Apparantly he didn't black out
[20:26] <13Kit> <Chii> ...Hm. New technology?
[20:26] <13Chad`Winters`> <Dias> Probably doping himself up or something before hand.
[20:26] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> We gave him an adrenaline boost.
[20:27] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron arches a brow but then nods slightly after Alexander speaks.
09[20:27] <13@Jennifer`> "That looks bad..."
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> We find it counter acts the effects of the jump
[20:27] <13@Marcus> It's good that it was figured out how to counteract that. Blacking out was the pits.
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> Well, it appears the Tsivrixsh are here in full force. Three ships visible. Could be more.
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin taps his fingers together, frowning. The large cruisers begin to launch fighters
15[20:28] * 13@Ariel looks rather peeved. She tried hard to keep this place from them... and they found it anyways.
[20:28] <13@Ariel> "Darien... be careful. You're horribly out numbered here."
15[20:28] * 13@Jennifer` stares. "Uhhh... how soon can he get out of there?"
[20:28] <13Kit> <Chii> I wouldn't say good, Marcus. Counteracting it with adrenaline could cause heart problems, especially in stressful situations and high strain physical effects.
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> Eh, don't tell me the odds. I'll just need to avoid them for a few minutes until the engine is ready again. I'll go take a closer look
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien flies for the planet.
15[20:29] * 13@Marcus slowly turns his head to peer at Chii.
15[20:29] * 13@Ariel puts down her tea, tensing.
14[20:29] * Chad`Winters` (chesterbot@c-76-17-177-121.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> She isn't entirely wrong. With how often we use the light engine, it could be bad.
03[20:30] * Chad`Winters (chesterbot@c-76-17-177-121.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) has joined #taw
14[20:30] * Chad`Winters (chesterbot@c-76-17-177-121.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) Quit (Remote host closed the connection)
03[20:30] * Chad`Winters (chesterbot@c-76-17-177-121.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) has joined #taw
[20:30] <13Kit> 6Chii frowns. 1"What? Did you forget that I'm learned in poisons?"
[20:30] <13@Marcus> Well, guess we'll just have to rely on Dias still.
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yay.
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* The fighters begin to engage the shuttle. Darien begins to avoid the shots
[20:31] <13Kit> <Chii> It's one of the ways to kill someone. Hype them up on something like that and give them a good scare. Makes it look like a heart attack.
15[20:31] * 13@Jennifer` leans on the edge of her seat, watching.
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I just wonder who is leading Xevil's forces now.
[20:31] <13@Marcus> Xevil didn't have a kid did he?
[20:31] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...doesn't that actually give them a heart attack?"
[20:32] <13Kit> 6Chii grins at Raquel. 1"I don't know. Ask a couple government officials."
[20:32] <13@Ariel> "...hopefully he didn't take leasons from our own president."
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> A kid. Great. With the way he treated women, I'd feel sorry for the mother.
[20:32] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I took Xevil down, I'll beat whoever this guy is too.
09[20:32] <13@Jennifer`> "What if he came back as some kinda creepy cyborg guy?"
[20:32] <13@Marcus> Xevil was like a god to some of those Tsiv, i'm sure there was one or two that would give themselves to him.
[20:33] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...only Cassandra seems to do that."
[20:33] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC continues jotting notes
[20:33] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> I'm not creepy!
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* New fighters suddenly decloak in front of Darien's shuttle. "What the hell?" 6* He exclaims, as they open fire. IT's the same type that killed the woman yesterday
[20:33] <13Kit> <Chii> Ah. Stealth. Too bad Darien's not like me.
[20:33] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> 10?
15[20:33] * 13@Marcus leans forward, 1Hey that's the shuttle that attacked us yesterday isn't it? Or at least one like it.
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien flips the shuttle to avoid a direct hit, but it tears out the engines. He begins to spin out of control
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> Well, looks like I'm about to get a first hand experience of the situation on the ground.
[20:34] <13Kit> <Chii> Showoff.
15[20:34] * 13@Jennifer` frowns, watching.
[20:35] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Hopefully the self destruct still works. It would be unfortunate if they got the light jump technology in their hands.
[20:35] <13@Ariel> "Darien!"
[20:35] <13@Marcus> Wow that sucks.
[20:35] <13Kit> <Chii> ..." 6She eyes SPoC. 1"...What about the general?"
09[20:35] <13@Jennifer`> "He's a good pilot right? He'll land fine?"
15[20:35] * 13@Ariel clenches her teeth, trying to keep from cursing.
[20:35] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> It is a high possibility that he may not survive such a descent.
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> When you guys do come, becareful of those new shuttles. I didn't get a hint of them in my scans, and their attack power is on the scale of the Dark Ones ships
[20:35] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Without engines?
[20:36] <13Kit> <Chii> Jee, thanks for the morale support, Natsan.
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve closes her eyes, and Alexander lets out a resigned sigh.
[20:36] <13Chad`Winters> SPoC turns to look back at Chii. 1"Who is Natsan?"
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien unbuckles and moves off the screen.
[20:36] <13Kit> <Chii> Noted Darien-- I'll be coming. I may not be able to see them, but I should sense their greedy little bloodlust.
[20:36] <13@Marcus> Darien's good at crashing, he'll be fine.
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nice, Jones.
[20:36] <13@Ariel> "...it's sadly true."
09[20:36] <13@Jennifer`> "So we're gonna rescue him right?"
[20:37] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...I'm better at crashig. 6He huffs.
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* A moment later, the shuttle smashes into the ground, and explodes.
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* The screens go out
15[20:37] * 13@Marcus winces at that.
09[20:37] <13@Jennifer`> "I think he parachuted out or something."
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I can't recall if I packed any of those.
15[20:37] * 13@Ariel looks to Paladin, "...when do we leave?"
[20:37] <13@Marcus> Well i'm sure he was pretty pissed at you before he crashed, then.
15[20:37] * 13@Jennifer` stares blankly.
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Not until we formulate a plan. With those three ships, we're facing overwhelming firepower
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve sighs. "He's joking."
[20:38] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Also adding into the firepower of those shuttles.
[20:38] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> I'm wondering how they got those shhuttles with firepower like that on such a small chassis.
09[20:39] <13@Jennifer`> "And Legion blew up our fleet right? So we're outgunned..."
[20:39] <13Kit> <Chii> Then we should go." 6She shrugs. 1"I should be able to sense those things. If not, between me and Cherry we have enough survival instinct to not let them kick our bucket. We should be conventional radar blips, either."
15[20:39] * 13@Ariel nods, and closes her eyes. She's already planning on trying to secure back up. If Darien went down, she just can't stand idle.
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Well, there is one way we can even the scale.
09[20:39] <13@Jennifer`> "What's that?"
[20:40] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Oh god.
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes, Dias?
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander glances his way
[20:40] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I lost my thought.
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Quaint.
[20:40] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> It happens when I think.
[20:40] <13Kit> <Chii> Wasn't the mute working on remote-able craft?
[20:41] <13Kit> <Chii> Why didn't we send one of those?
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Cheryl and Chii, along with Ariel, Megumi, and Erevis can form Gears. We use those to hold them off until you reach the planet, and then you access the situation, to see if we can get Ariel's people to help us
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander completely ignores Chii
[20:42] <13@Marcus> That's pretting risky. Since you suggested it, I guess that means we really don't have any other ships to use.
[20:42] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Isn't it odd that we didn't see any signs of battle in space when Darien flew through?
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Likely, they landed when they were in stasis, and captured them
[20:43] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Huh. That'd suck.
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Quite.
[20:44] <13@Marcus> I guess we would need to get Megumi and Zephyr to agree to it though.
[20:44] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> They'll agree.
09[20:44] <13@Jennifer`> "Yeah, I can't see them not rushing in with Ms. Ariel."
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> We should also inform the drunk Progenitor and Starr's whore of the situation. More bodies for the fire.
[20:44] <13@Marcus> <Theron> Hmm. It is unfortunate that we do not have teleporting technology.
15[20:44] * 13@Ariel attempts to mentally contact Megumi and Zephyr, and seeing how long it takes them to agree.
[20:45] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Alexander. 1"Did you..."
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander arches a brow. "What?"
[20:45] <13@Marcus> He just burned them good, i'd say.
15[20:45] * 13@Ariel pauses half way through contacting to stare at Cran.
[20:45] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Cool. 6He rocks his chair down
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her face
[20:45] <13Kit> <Chii> No problems here, right Cherry?"
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah; we can do it.
15[20:46] * 13@Ariel is left wondering if she ended up time shifting, or reality shifting.
[20:46] <13Kit> <Chii> I've been wondering, though
[20:46] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Who'd think the president would call somebody a whore.
[20:46] <13Kit> 6Chii leans over to eye Cheryl up close
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She eyes Chii back
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> I also do rap songs. 6* He states and rises
[20:47] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> I'm totally posting that one online.
[20:47] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Seriously?!
[20:47] <13Kit> <Chii> Why don't you become a dragon when we bond like the others?
15[20:47] * 13@Marcus hmphs and laughs, shaking his head. 1I would pay to see that.
[20:47] <13Kit> <Chii> Do I still suck too much?
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hrmph. I prefer our gear form.
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander rolls his eyes a bit and steps out. Katrina looks amused
[20:47] <13Kit> <Chii> Really? Do you know what dragons represented back in the day?
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Monsters?
[20:48] <13Kit> <Chii> No way. They were holy.
[20:48] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron hmms and rubs his chin slowly, thinking.
[20:48] <13Kit> 6Chii raises a finger. 1"But some of them embodied the elements or incarnations of disaster and destruction itself.
15[20:48] * 13@Ariel idly listens to Chii, actually interested in what she's saying.
[20:48] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> This'll be awesome Marcus. 6He stands up, bouncing lightly
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve rises. "We studied your fallen comrade, Ariel. We've discerned that they don't have as much power as you do, either because they weren't meant for combat, or because you're just stronger. Unfortunately, with no brain, we couldn't make anything to break mind control
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see.
15[20:49] * 13@Jennifer` sits back and sighs a bit. "I'm sure this also qualifies as something I'm too young for."
[20:49] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Eve. 1"I'll break it with my fist.
[20:49] <13Kit> <Chii> Where 'we' grew up they were freaking awesome. Nothing could stop a real dragon. Even though most people didn't believe they existed anymore.
[20:49] <13@Marcus> Yeah, but hurting those Arielites isn't going to be fun.
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, well. I'm not a dragon person. 6* She gets to her feet.
[20:50] <13Kit> <Chii> Darn...
[20:50] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...You can't look at it that way Marcus. You have to look at it as a new challenge to test yourself against.
15[20:50] * 13@Ariel nods to Eve, considering. "I... was a member of the guard. Those two showed no sign of military association. A power difference is hardly surprising... but yes, the why is harder to pin down."
[20:50] <13Kit> 6Chii leans back, pouting. 1"Bet your form would be really neat. Probably scary looking, though."
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> My form is already scary. 6* She snorts.
[20:50] <13@Marcus> No, when it comes down to it, we're going to have to fight them, well probably at least. And that won't be cool. I just hope stuns will work against them.
[20:50] <13Kit> <Chii> Eh, if you say so.
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns and walks off.
[20:51] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's why I only use my fists Marcus. Easier to not kill them.
[20:51] <13Kit> 6Chii eyes her nails. 1"Cherrysaaamaaaa.." 6She walks after her
15[20:51] * 13@Jennifer` looks over at Natalie. "Be careful okay?"
[20:51] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I will be as cautious as normal.
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin stands up himself, adjusting some papers.
[20:51] <13@Marcus> Yeah, yeah. So what're we supposed to be doing again?
[20:52] <13Kit> 6Megumi finally responds to Ariel, her thoughts wrapped up in warmth and contentment. 1<...Mama ...knight?>
15[20:52] * 13@Jennifer` looks over at Paladin. "Anything I can do while you're all away?"
[20:52] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Marcus. 1"Oh by the way, you need to tell X that you believe in me.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Get prepared to depart once we have the others here.
[20:52] <13@Marcus> Sure.
[20:52] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're not gonna do it, are ya?
15[20:52] * 13@Ariel closes her eyes again, so it's easier to focus her thoughts. <We need to leave... Darien is in trouble.>
[20:52] <13@Marcus> Depends on what I'll get from saying it.
[20:53] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Consider it payback for missing out on your training this morning.
[20:53] <13Kit> <Megumi> <Darien...? Alright... um... I assume you need beloved as well..?>
15[20:53] * 13@Jennifer` looks at Paladin still.
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin seems to be thinking, and isn't responding
[20:54] <13@Marcus> Yeah I'll pass then.
[20:54] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stands up and moves out to get ready
09[20:54] <13@Jennifer`> "Sir...?"
[20:54] <13Kit> <Megumi> <Dearest Zephy is asleep, should I..?>
[20:54] <13@Ariel> <Tell her and Zephyr... he's in trouble. The Tsiv seem to have taken control of the planet.>
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks up. "Yes, Jennifer?"
09[20:54] <13@Jennifer`> "I was asking if there's anything I can do while you're all away."
[20:54] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Than I'll be forced to upgrade your training to level 2.
[20:54] <13Kit> <Megumi> <The Tsivrixsh have taken over Earth!?>
[20:54] <13@Marcus> Yeah, I'll pass on that too.
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> No.
09[20:55] <13@Jennifer`> "Okay."
[20:55] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> A superhero can only rise through trials of extreme perserverence.
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches Dias and Marcus
15[20:55] * 13@Jennifer` hops up. "I'll just resume training then. Good luck sir."
[20:55] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron stands and walks out to get ready.
[20:55] <13@Marcus> Good thing i'm just a sidekick, then.
15[20:55] * 13@Myria heads out of the conference room.
[20:56] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Once you start down the path of a superhero, you can never look back Marcus. 6He beams proudly
15[20:56] * 13@Ariel hesitates. <...no. My homeworld.>
[20:56] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *stands and heads out to suit up*
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> You two boys have fun. 6* She tells them, stepping out
[20:56] <13Kit> <Megumi> <... ...o-Oh. I w-will awake them. See you there.>
[20:56] <13@Marcus> Oh Kat. 6He runs up to slide beside her and give her a kiss on the cheek. 1Incase we're rushed out of here and I don't get to give you one.
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> How sweet.
[20:57] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to Dias, "...don't super heroes need capes?"
[20:57] <13@Marcus> You know me. 6He gives her a smile.
[20:57] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's hard to find the right cape, Raquel.
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> Location: House of D
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore rings a loud bell to wake everyone
03[20:58] * Jennifer` is now known as Sammael
[20:58] <13Kit> 6Dawn saunters out, looking frazzled
15[20:58] * 13@Sammael holds her heads a little and frowns over her coffee.
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya walks out, looking tired
[20:59] <13@Marcus> 6* Drasek steps out of the downstairs area, looking like he hasn't even been asleep, he peers around.
15[20:59] * 13Chad`Winters sits on the edge of his bed, still sweating and his eyes blood shot. He pushes himself up off his bed and moves over to his closet
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore finishes, then puts the bell up in her maid outfit
[21:00] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos steps out of the room that was chosen for him and glances around at the noise. 1It usual to be woken up like this?
15[21:00] * 13@Sammael fixes her blouse a little, having been up for some time, she passed out not too shortly after talking with Ariel the previous day.
09[21:00] <13@Sammael> "No it isn't."
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> President called. Mr. Starr trapped on hostile planet. Probably dead. Does anyone want eggs?
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks at that.
[21:01] <13@Marcus> <Drasek> Eggs would be lovely.
09[21:01] <13@Sammael> "Wh-What!?"
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore nods, and sets down a plate of eggs for Drasek
[21:01] <13Kit> <Dawn> I do..." 6Shakes his head and peers at Drasek, then doubletakes on Fiore. 1"...T-Tte nani?"
[21:01] <13@Marcus> 6* Drasek smiles and begins to eat.
[21:01] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> Hostile planet? Does he not sleep or something?
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore holds out a datapad with all the information, including the time the Anti-Dark One Team is leaving
[21:02] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos peers at it and nods, 1Ahhh. I see. Uh, well I guess I could go. I don't really have any weapons or anything though.
15[21:02] * 13Chad`Winters pulls a shirt over his head, having kept his gym pants on last night. He moves to his door and steps out and moves down the hallway.
[21:02] <13Kit> <Fiore> ...Oneesama, it's hard to imagine you're a stronger operative than some of us... ....You... you...
09[21:03] <13@Sammael> "W-We should get going!"
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Yes, oniichan?
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore peers at him
15[21:03] * 13@Sammael looks around, still in a panic.
[21:03] <13Kit> 6Dawn hangs his head. 1"...You never participate.."
[21:03] <13Kit> 6Dawn looks to Xanatos. 1"...What do you use..?"
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Have chores to do here.
[21:03] <13@Marcus> <Drasek> Hmm. Delicious, luv. Really brilliant.
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore smiles for Drasek
15[21:03] * 13Chad`Winters steps into the kitchen and moves over to the fridge, pulling out a bottle of water.
[21:03] <13@Marcus> NRP: Mmmm*
[21:04] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> 2 Pistols. 2 beam swords.
15[21:04] * 13@Sammael heads to her room to grab some things.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Mr. Starr's will states if he dies, Mr. Winters gets those. 6* She states, clearly changing his will on the go
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> *the house
[21:05] <13@Marcus> 6* Drasek widens his eyes. 1I'll kill that git!
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> <Fiore> Change will first, then.
15[21:05] * 13Chad`Winters steps into the dining room, eyeing everyone.
04[21:05] <13Kit> <Dawn> ... Ask Sammael, Mister Durran. ...I use knives and have a bit of an eye.
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya glances at Chad. "I think you should stay home this time, Dad."
[21:06] <13Chad`Winters> Stay home? 6He looks at his daughter, confused
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore holds out the datapad to Chad
[21:06] <13@Marcus> 6* Drasek grumbles and stands up. 1I know. I'll save his arse first. That'll put me back on the will.
[21:07] <13Kit> <Dawn> Starr is in trouble.
15[21:07] * 13Chad`Winters reaches out and takes the datapad, eyeing it over.
[21:07] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos shrugs slightly. 1I'm sure if I asked, I could get some loaners from the team.
15[21:07] * 13@Sammael comes back out, tossing something to Xanatos. "Not sure what we have to spare, but I've been fiddling with weapons, these should do."
[21:07] <13Chad`Winters> Yeah, I can read. 6He frowns.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya crosses her arms. "And you're staying home."
[21:07] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos pauses and catches the something, peering at/in it.
[21:08] <13Kit> <Dawn> Ayahime has good advice.
[21:08] <13@Marcus> <Drasek> Not like you'll be much help, detoxing and all, eh?
09[21:08] <13@Sammael> * A small bundle with a gun and a beam saber in it. Nothing outwardly special.
[21:08] <13Chad`Winters> Stay out of this Dawn. 6He eyes him than looks at Aya. 1"And what do you plan on doing?"
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Watching over you
[21:08] <13Kit> <Dawn> I'll watch over her.
[21:08] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos nods once and moves off to change into some proper clothes.
15[21:09] * 13Chad`Winters looks back at Dawn again, not hiding his annoyance now. 1"I asked you to stay out of this."
[21:09] <13Kit> <Dawn> You don't have much to lose in agreeing. After all, if I take a hit for her, you're up ten points.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore watches the commotion now, fan ready
15[21:09] * 13@Sammael crosses her arms, waiting for the others. She peers at Dawn's logic.
[21:09] <13@Marcus> 6* Drasek laughs as he walks away for the front door, to get a car ready.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I'm staying home - and so is dad. End of story. 6* She notes sternly, trying to seem taller than she is
[21:10] <13Kit> <Dawn> Hm. I take it back. Win-win for you.
15[21:10] * 13@Sammael smiles a bit and heads out after Drasek. She looks up at the sky as she walks to the car.
15[21:10] * 13Chad`Winters nods to Aya than eyes Dawn. 1"I'll warn you this once Dawn, right now is not the time to annoy me. So take my advice the first time I say something."
[21:11] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos walks out of the room and whistles as he moves along, stepping out the door.
[21:11] <13Kit> 6Dawn rises from the table and goes back toward the twins' room. 1"Uh-huh..."
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Now, lets get some food in you, Dad.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya motions for him to sit
15[21:12] * 13Chad`Winters tenses his left hand, not hiding the fact that detoxing has put his temper for short.
[21:12] <13@Marcus> 6* Drasek starts up the car and waits for Xan and Sam to get in. 1Guess we're the only ones coming, then?
09[21:13] <13@Sammael> "I suppose, Dawn seems to be fighting a losing battle."
15[21:13] * 13@Sammael gets in the car.
[21:14] <13@Marcus> 6* Drasek shrugs and starts up the care, driving off towards the HQ.
[21:14] <13@Marcus> NRP: car*
15[21:14] * 13Chad`Winters let's out a breath and relaxes his hand, sitting down.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> Location: HQ
[21:14] <13Kit> 6Dawn returns in tactical suit and pants, peering out the window at the two leaving, then shrugs and heads over to kiss Fiore on the cheek. 1"Be back soon."
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr yawns. Her hair up in a ponytail
[21:15] <13Kit> 6Megumi shakes Zephyr
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers about, in her tactical suit. She seems quiet.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> <Zephhr> R-Reh?! 6* She's shaken about
[21:16] <13Kit> <Megumi> No time to be sleepy!
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin steps into the hanger.
[21:16] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron stands in the hanger, ready to go.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr sulks.
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> You woke me up exclaiming that Earth was under attack. I'm tired.
[21:17] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias stretches out in the hanger, still not used to wearing a tact suit
[21:17] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *steps into the hangar, fully outfitted.
03[21:17] * Marcus is now known as Xanatos
09[21:17] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer sits in the Hangar, there to see everyone off.
15[21:17] * 13@Xanatos hums as he walks into the hanger, fiddling with his hair. 1Man I can't get this shit to stay down.
15[21:17] * 13@Ariel approaches Zephyr, Megumi and Erevis, "I'm sorry that you've been dragged into this with so little notice."
[21:17] <13@Xanatos> NRP: Marcus. :(
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks in the hanger, adjusting her suit. It's body tight, as if it was designed that was on purpose
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's okay, Mom. 6* She smiles.
[21:18] <13Kit> <Megumi> That is fine, mama knight. We are used to being ambushed, so this is an improvement.
[21:18] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC bows to Zephyr. 1"Zephyr, it is good to see you again."
[21:18] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances at everyone and scratches his head. 1"Where's Chad?"
15[21:18] * 13@Xanatos stands in the hanger, 1He's too sick to come.
15[21:19] * 13@Myria walks into the hangar too, her smart suit programmed into a tactical hard suit.
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr beams and takes SPoC's hands, holding them up. "We'll use girl power and show them who's boss."
[21:19] <13Kit> <Megumi> Girl... power..?
[21:19] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Girl power? 6She tilts her head, confused.
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Erevis nods once at ARiel, then tilts her head at Zephyr
[21:19] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sick?! 6He starts laughing
15[21:19] * 13@Ariel looks as confused as Megumi and SPoC
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... *sighs* I watched anime last night.
[21:20] <13Kit> <Chii> Without me!?
[21:20] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek stands around, staring at different things.
[21:20] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Anime? 6She stares, still confused
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ask Chii to show you some. Tentacles galore.
[21:20] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Dude. If only it were that easy, being sick.
[21:20] <13Kit> <Chii> I don't watch those!
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Paladin steps onto the shuttle
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puffs her cheeks, moving for the hanger
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> *shuttle
15[21:21] * 13@Sammael stands nearby Drasek, she taps on her datapad quietly as she moves away from him, getting on the shuttle and taking a seat.
[21:21] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sick. 6He just shakes his head as he moves in and takes the pilots seat.
[21:21] <13Kit> 6Dawn moves in quietly, a rectangular, boxy-style gun over a shoulder and in his mercenary attire?
[21:21] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I do not understand. 6She moves on after Zephyr.
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks onto the shuttle, taking a seat and kicking back. Katrina walks in and moves onto the shuttle as well
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll show you some sometime.
[21:21] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek, Marcus, and Theron all move to get onto the shuttle. Though Marcus pauses and glances at Kat. 1You're coming?
[21:21] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> That would be nice.
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes.
09[21:22] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "You are an anime character Chii-chan."
15[21:22] * 13@Xanatos walks up the ramp. 1Kat could probably take you down, little man. 6He moves for the co-pilot's seat.
15[21:22] * 13@Ariel heads to the shuttle, adjusting her bracers. Raquel is already sitting on the shuttle, having rippled.
[21:22] <13Kit> 6Chii runs up and plops in Cheryl's lap, wiggling on purpose. She eyes Jennifer. 1"Am not."
[21:22] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus eyes Xanatos and then glances towards Kat. 1Eh?
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* X ripples onto the shuttle, taking a seat.
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina just smiles, sitting down comfortablely.
[21:22] <13Kit> 6Lilith walks out and sits beside X, peering at her.
[21:22] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Xan sitting next to him. 1"...Seriously?"
[21:22] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus shrugs and sits down.
[21:22] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel eyes X, "...copycat."
[21:22] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *boards the shuttle and straps in, as does Myria.
09[21:22] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer grins a bit. "If you say so. Kick some extra butt for me okay?"
[21:23] <13@Xanatos> <Xanatos> You know. I think I remember how these things works.
[21:23] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Atleast one of us will than. 6He flips switches to power it up
[21:23] <13Kit> 6Chii eyes Cheryl. 1"I think you should sic the new invention on her and show her what anime's like."
09[21:23] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "N-new invention?"
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You do it, then. She likes you better.
[21:24] <13Kit> <Chii> Isn't that kind of the point?
15[21:24] * 13@Ariel eyes Chii and Cheryl, worried some.
[21:24] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron closes his eyes, probably meditating before this upcoming battle.
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Ariel.
[21:24] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC sits down in the back as usual
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis adjusts herself s she sits
[21:24] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek runs a hand over his head, glancing around at everyone.
09[21:24] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "I-I like Cheryl too..."
[21:24] <13Kit> 6Chii eyes Ariel, too, and slowly slides over to hide on Cheryl's other side.
[21:25] <13Kit> <Chii> Hear that? She likes you, too.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Creepy.
09[21:25] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "...It's creepy to like you?"
15[21:25] * 13@Sammael just quietly taps on the datapad, oblivious.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl calls out. "Watch Ben for me."
15[21:25] * 13@Xanatos brings the secondary systems online and gives Dias a nod. 1We're good to go.
09[21:25] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer grins and gives a thumbs up.
[21:25] <13Kit> 6Dawn walks up and takes a seat in the back, crossing arms and legs and closing his eyes.
[21:26] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> To go what? 6He eyes him as he lifts the shuttle off the ground a couple inches
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> The coordinates are already entered Dias.
[21:26] <13@Xanatos> Right. I forgot you were a moron.
[21:26] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Just for that. I will slap you awake. 6He raises the ramp and moves out of the hanger and upwards towards space
[21:27] <13@Xanatos> Wouldn't have it any other way.
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy appears behind Jen, grabs her in a hug, and shadowports her onto the shuttle, keeping her hidden with a hand over her mouth
09[21:27] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer blinks and squirms, shaking her head, trying to wrench herself free.
[21:27] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's all sorts of creepy. 6He brings them into space and reaches for the light jump engine. 1"We all ready?"
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Ready. Go.
[21:28] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> You know I never asked. But how're we supposed to get the dragoons from in here to out there?
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> You'll see.
[21:28] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias pulls the lever for the light jump engine
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle jumps, and everyone but Dias is knocked out. They reappear near the moon of the planet, hidden away for now.
[21:28] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Ri-*He blacks out.*
[21:28] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns and slaps Xan, hard across the face
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy lets go of the unconscious Jen, then hops over to peer out the viewport beside Dias.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Fufufu
15[21:29] * 13@Xanatos jerks and rubs his face. 1God I thought you were joking.
[21:29] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hey good looking. 6He smiles his trademark smile at her.
[21:29] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't joke.
03[21:29] * Chad`Winters is now known as SPoC
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin stirs awake and sits up. Zephyr and Cheryl do the same a moment later.
[21:29] <13@Xanatos> Being a joke, you don't really need too. 6He stands and moves to start waking people up.
[21:30] <13SPoC> 6SPoC slowly wakes up.
15[21:30] * 13@Sammael sits up and resumes tapping at her datapad.
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy snaps her fingers and makes the datapad vanish
[21:30] <13Kit> 6Megumi lies over Zephyr, dozing silently
15[21:30] * 13@Sammael frowns and looks at Billy. "Give it back."
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tugs Megumi's ear. "Up."
[21:30] <13Kit> 6Chii groans and sits up slowly. 1"...I feel a dark presence."
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Live a little
[21:30] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus wakes up and nudges Kat slightly.
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina stirs, opening her eyes
15[21:30] * 13@Sammael holds out her hand.
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy ignores Sam
15[21:31] * 13@Xanatos wakes up Theron, who in turn wakes up Myria.
[21:31] <13Kit> 6Megumi squeals. 1"Eeee! O-Ow, ow, ow, ow!"
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hee.
[21:31] <13Kit> 6Dawn remains as he was, who knows, awake or asleep.
[21:31] <13@Myria> Huh?
09[21:31] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer sits up and gasps looking around, "What..."
[21:31] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> I believe we are here.
[21:31] <13SPoC> 6Dias shifts around slightly and eyes the controls boredly. 1"When's the fun part begin?"
15[21:31] * 13@Xanatos goes back to sit down now.
[21:31] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Sitrep?
[21:31] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek still snoozes, apparently missed in the waking ups.
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Alright, all dragoons and their pilots, move to the back.
[21:32] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks back. 1"Good luck you guys. Cheryl, Zephyr. Stay safe."
09[21:32] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "Oh dangit..."
[21:32] <13Kit> <Megumi> ...Beloved is bonding with mama knight, right..?
[21:32] <13SPoC> 6SPoC blinks and turns to eye Jennifer. 1"What are you doing here?"
[21:32] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah. Kick some ass for me.
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> You can form a more powerful dragoon with Ariel and Zephyr.
09[21:32] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer frowns. "Billy."
[21:33] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Hmm. It is a shame that I cannot assist with my gear.
[21:33] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek finally snorts and sits up, rubbing his head.
[21:33] <13Kit> <Megumi> Two targets are easier to hit than three... Besides, it tires me out to bridge both. Is it not even a miracle it is possible in a pinch..?
[21:33] <13SPoC> 6SPoC frowns, not liking this
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives them a good luck sign. Cheryl pulls Chii up by her tail, moving to the back.
[21:33] <13Kit> 6Chii flails, crying slightly-- being in child form
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I confess it has been too long since I have made a mech. I do not think I would do well.
[21:33] <13Kit> <Megumi> You are right. I bet I could do it better than you.
15[21:34] * 13@Sammael sits there watching people, occasionally looking towards Billy with a glare.
15[21:34] * 13@Xanatos peers over his shoudler slightly. To see if Erevis is still easily goaded.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Erevis frowns, ego stung, and rises, moving to take ARiel's arm, leading her to the back.
[21:34] <13Kit> 6Megumi eyes Erevis sideways, smirking a little.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> We shall see.
[21:34] <13Kit> 6Megumi giggles, going with Zephyr.
15[21:34] * 13@Xanatos glances ahead and smirks.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr snickers.
[21:34] <13Kit> 6Megumi gives a knowing look to Xanatos.
[21:34] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> I'm not sure who has the harder job...we have no idea what is going on down there.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Jennifer might want ot make sure she's not still in the back.
09[21:35] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer moves to sit with SPoC.
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* X stirs finally, opening her eyes. Paladin eyes Jennifer
[21:35] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> It's cool Cassie. We'll just beat their heads in. No killing unless they're big and ugly though.
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> What are you doing here?
[21:35] <13SPoC> <SPoC> I had asked the same thing
09[21:35] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "Billy."
[21:35] <13SPoC> <Dias> It must be hard to resist killing yourself everytime you look in the mirror
[21:35] <13Kit> 6Lilith slowly slumps against X-- though keeping a dignified expression, she's clearly asleep
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Alright, Dias, use the large button next to the shield controls
[21:36] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus fake laughs for Dias.
[21:36] <13SPoC> 6Dias nods and eyes the large button with glee. 1"I love big buttons." 6He pushes it
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> ... we have no choice. Just becareful, Jennifer. 6* He makes note to deal with Billy later.
09[21:36] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "Yes sir."
15[21:36] * 13@Ariel is lead to the back. She rests a hand on Erevis' shoulder, "Have confidence in yourself."
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* A shield raises, separating all the dragoons and their pilots from the rest of the shuttle
[21:37] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a whistle. 1Well that is fancy.
[21:37] <13SPoC> <Dias> Great, now I have to resist the urge to hit it again.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We have to time this just right once we lower the ramp, or Erevis, Meg, and Chii are in trouble.
[21:37] <13@Xanatos> You could hit that one over there. 6*Xanatos points towards it.
[21:37] <13SPoC> <Dias> Pfft. It's not the same
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts a hand on the ramp lever. "Ready?"
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sure. We'll see how much Megumi trusts me.
[21:38] <13@Xanatos> I'm surprised they haven't just installed a dummy button for you. To keep you entertained.
15[21:38] * 13@Sammael looks back at the Dragoons, concentrating on watching them, since the thing to keep her mind off her worries was taken.
[21:38] <13Kit> <Megumi> Is there any question?
[21:38] <13Kit> <Chii> U-Uh... Ch-Cherry, you've done this kind of thing before, right..?
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
15[21:38] * 13@Ariel takes a deep breath, mentally preparing herself for the fight to come.
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> But if Angela could do it, we can
[21:39] <13Kit> <Chii> Tch, yeah. I feel better now if she did it.
15[21:39] * 13@Xanatos rubs his chin and peers over his shoulder. 1She did have Kane with her though.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls the lever, and the air begins to get sucked out. Cheryl grabs Chii and leaps out away from the shuttle, focusing. Zephyr grabs Megumi's hand and leaps out
[21:40] <13Kit> 6Megumi eyes the darkness and exhales quickly, keeping breath out of her to avoid rapid depressurisation
15[21:40] * 13@Sammael frowns a little.
[21:41] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Well. If that didn't work, they'll be a bit red in the face won't they?
09[21:41] <13@Sammael> "That was her second pilot, correct?"
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr focuses with Megumi, and they form their dragon like mech. Cheryl does the same, and forms a completely ordinary Gear, even more ordinary than usual
[21:41] <13Kit> <Chii> ... ...Huh. I pissed you off, didn't I?
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> If I'm not scary, then we'll look like this
15[21:42] * 13@Ariel departs the shuttle with Erevis, focusing on forming her draconic form. Even if it's been a while, she's confident she can manage this much.
[21:42] <13Kit> <Chii> Excuse me for wanting to see your full awesomeness." 6She huffs.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes, the cold of space painful to her, but they successfully form a draconic form as Erevis uses her mental abilities to synch with Ariel
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snickers, then focuses, and they transform into their mech with the sharp claws and tail
[21:43] <13Kit> 6Chii jerks slightly. 1"...Wh-what the?"
15[21:43] * 13@Xanatos lets out a breath and looks forward. 1Now's the part where we wait until we can sneak down to the surface, right?
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods at Dias. "Okay, raise the ramp, let it repressurize, then you can hit the same button again
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> There.
[21:43] <13Kit> <Chii> You're capable of mid-form transhifting?
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm awesome. What can I say.
[21:44] <13SPoC> 6Dias closes the ramp and waits for it to repressurize. He than hits the same button again
15[21:44] * 13@Ariel is anxious to get going, but is holding back. Doing her best to remain focused and disciplined, but her mind is in stages of termoil right now.
[21:44] <13Kit> <Chii> Damn straight you a-- wait... This doesn't mean you've been hiding it from me all along, have you?!
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shield goes down. Katrina lets out a breath. "I hope thy'll be okay."
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Time to go. 6* She zooms out right away, not holding back
[21:44] <13SPoC> <Dias> They will. 6He nods. 1"I believe in them."
[21:45] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...I'm sure they'll do better than if you kicked us out an airlock."
[21:45] <13Kit> <Chii> You've been holding yourself back in this form on purpose, haven't you!?
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <X> I will kick you ou the airlock, IX, if you want.
[21:45] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I still wish we could help them.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. This is the form I like.
[21:45] <13Kit> 6Chii flails.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches Cheryl go, then goes to follow. Erevis lets Ariel do the movements for now
15[21:46] * 13@Ariel flies along side Cheryl. <C> "Is that what they call a midseason upgrade?"
[21:46] <13Kit> 6Megumi closes her eyes. 1"Zephy, this is a feint mission, right?"
[21:46] <13SPoC> <Dias> Does anyone else think it's odd that Ariel's not going planet side with us?"
[21:46] <13Kit> <Chii> We've been making this form. She won't show me her dragon. Make her show me her dragon, ryuumama!
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> They'll join us once they can.
[21:46] <13SPoC> 6Dias grabs the controls, anxious
15[21:46] * 13@Ariel twitches at the 'Ryuumama', even in Dragon form. That just doesn't sound right.
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* As they go around the moon, the three Tsivrixsh battleships seem ready, and open fire with beam blasts
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Less talk, more boom.
15[21:47] * 13@Xanatos keeps a watch on the sensors, since they should give him an idea of how the battle is going.
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dodges a blast, and Zephyr does the same.
[21:47] <13Kit> <Chii> Tch. Fine. Here's something I bet Ryuumama's never seen. Dragoon Ninjutsu." 6She begins forming seals with her hands. 1"Hold them off for a moment, Cherry."
15[21:47] * 13@Ariel pushes forward, strengthening her crystaline armour in case she does take a hit as she weaves between the beam blasts. She wants to end this as quick as possible, so they can continue on with their mission.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy eats popcorn.
[21:48] <13SPoC> <Dias> When do we make our break for the planet?
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* The blasts hit the moon behind them, and the surface cracks, as it begins to get superheated.
09[21:48] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer sighs a bit and sits back, closing her eyes and trying not to think about what's going on.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> When we have an opening. 6* The sensors begin to pick up the moon, and the fact it's about to blow
15[21:48] * 13@Ariel concentrates more on dodging than armour. It wouldn't be enough ._.
[21:48] <13SPoC> 6Dias eyes the sensors. 1"What's that mean?"
[21:49] <13@Xanatos> Well I'd say we'd better get moving. The moon is about to explode.
15[21:49] * 13@Sammael looks over to the front of the shuttle. "The moon is about to what...?"
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh ships keep firing at them, trying to nail them.
[21:49] <13@Xanatos> Explode. Boom.
[21:49] <13Kit> 6Megumi lays her hands down on the panelling inside, focusing. 1"Time is of the essence, so let us put it on our side." 6She begins to manipulate dark energy in the space about Zephyr, adding a haze about her mechaloid form as it moves, using the energy shift to give her a speed increase. "1I will leave the decision on what to do to you."
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Me? Why me?!
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin frowns. "Put all power to the shields and engines!"
15[21:50] * 13@Ariel starts to gather energy, quickly dodging left, right, up and down. Space isn't a 2D battlefield after all.
[21:50] <13SPoC> 6Dias does so and starts to fly away from the moon
[21:50] <13Kit> <Megumi> I am concentrating on making you stronger and faster. You have the skills and instincts to operate on your own, Zephy. I trust you.
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* The moon explodes, and the shuttle begins to get hit. The shields scream as it begins to go down, and the shuttle goes spinning
[21:50] <13SPoC> 6Dias holds onto the control as he tries to straighten them out
15[21:50] * 13@Sammael secures her safety belt and holds on, Jennifer buckles up and holds onto Natalie.
15[21:51] * 13@Xanatos jerks one hand up to the controls to try and get some sort of energy back to the thrusters.
[21:51] <13SPoC> 6SPoC grabs onto her seat to brace herself
[21:51] <13Kit> 6Chii opens her eyes. 1"Heheh. Get a load of this. Utsusemi no doraguunu." 6She holds up her hands, and two other Cheryl's split from the center. She works on manipulating them to dodge shots, leaving themselves to Cheryl herself.
[21:51] <13@Ariel> <Those things.... are monstrousities.> She growls. <...are you ready, Erevis?>
[21:51] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Oh bloody hell. I think those eggs are coming back to say hi.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina tenses, falling into Marcus, and Paladin strains
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> <Yes. I am.>
[21:51] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus holds onto her with one arm, the other gripping his seat tightly.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr zooms in at the furthest ship, dodging as best she can
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shields go out and the shuttle screams with damage, but finally they stop getting rocked ,floating with superheated rock
[21:52] <13Kit> 6Megumi opens her eyes and ponders. 1"HUD activate."
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh fire at the fake Cheryls, as well as the real.
[21:52] <13SPoC> <Dias> Shields are down. We gotta make our move.
[21:52] <13Kit> <Chii> Hm, let's see how they handle this.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Appearing before them, three Dragon mechs appear
15[21:53] * 13@Xanatos shakes his head. 1Rerouting energy to the shield would take a bit, but i'll see what I can do. 6He begins to do so.
[21:53] <13Kit> 6Chii manipulates one and begins to careen it toward one of the ships upper decks, like it's going to kamikaze it.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr slams on breaks.
15[21:53] * 13@Ariel focuses, concentrating on adapting Erevis' strength to be her own... and then releases the gathered energy into a large beam of hyperspace energy, directed at the lead Tsiv ship.
15[21:53] * 13@Sammael gets up and moves over to help repair the shuttle.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* A dragoon flies in teh path of the energy.
09[21:53] <13@Sammael> "I cannot fly these things, but I can sure help fix one."
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Another flies at Chii's fake
[21:54] <13Kit> <Megumi> Damn." 6She holds up a hand and yanks at the dragoon in the beam path, losing her boost to Zephyr.
[21:54] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek holds his stomach, groaning.
[21:54] <13SPoC> <Dias> Paladin, orders.
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* The dragoon in front of Zephyr fires a beam attack at them.
[21:54] <13Kit> 6The false Cheryl would pass right through it, still heading on a collision course.
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Get us to the planet as best you can
[21:54] <13Kit> <Chii> Woops, jig is up.
15[21:54] * 13@Ariel attempts to redicrect the beam towards a different ship, and out of the way of the 'dragoon'.
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* The dragoon just gets in the path again
[21:54] <13SPoC> <Dias> About damn time. 6He hits the boosters and heads through the debris, heading towards the planet.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* The one that flew through Cheryl, flies at the real Cheryl/Chii
[21:55] <13@Xanatos> Yeah take it easy on those boosters or we won't have enough energy to do much else.
15[21:55] * 13@Sammael works to get the shields back up with Xanatos.
15[21:55] * 13@Ariel mentally curses how slow energy attacks are. She stops, facing the dragoon. <...it seems we have a problem.>
[21:55] <13SPoC> <Dias> Gotta get us upto speed. 6He swings under some moon rock.
09[21:55] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer just holds onto Natalie.
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* The dragoon throws up a shield for the attack, but gets heavily damaged.
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> <They are easily beaten, but I imagine fighting your own people is not what you desire.>
[21:56] <13Kit> <Megumi> It is a mental leash, is it not? Mama knight, you are integrating beloved's abilities, so why not try to use them to wrench control?
[21:57] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Man. If you get us killed Dias, i'm going to kill you.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* The heated moon rock heats the insides of the shuttle
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* X keeps herself cool by waving Lilith's tail at her face
[21:57] <13Kit> 6Dawn's eyes snap open, heaving.
09[21:57] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "G-Getting warm in here..."
[21:57] <13SPoC> <Dias> You believe in me? That's awesome. 6He rolls the shuttle between two pieces
[21:57] <13Kit> 6Lilith slowly opens her eyes, yawning.
15[21:57] * 13@Ariel extends larges blades of energy from her claws, facing the dragoon. <...Erevis. With our strength, do you think you can free them?>
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr dodges an attack, but the enemy slashes her tail, cutting into it
15[21:58] * 13@Xanatos makes a face, 1Try to stay away from those rocks.
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> <I can try.>
[21:58] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...I... hate having no control over the situation..."
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephr yeowls.
[21:58] <13Kit> 6Megumi instantly turns, aiming to expel the dragoon attacking them and initiate self-repair
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* The one flying at Cheryl shoots a giant beam at them.
[21:58] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody hell, anyone got a towel. 6He rubs his hand over his head.
15[21:58] * 13@Ariel moves forward to slash at the dragoon to keep it distracted, <Please, try.>
[21:58] <13SPoC> <Dias> You look outside lately?
[21:59] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...do we have... air conditioning...?"
[21:59] <13@Xanatos> Shouldn't be too hard for someone with your abilities, should it?
[21:59] <13Kit> 6Chii shifts them to ram the dragoon attacking 'them,' since the beam would hit the one it was aiming at and reveal the real Cheryl once and for all.
[21:59] <13Kit> <Chii> Okay, our 'free lives' are used up. We need to come up with a strategy, Cherry.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl forms a whip and lassos the dragoon they're fighting
[22:00] <13SPoC> <Dias> Focus on the shield. I'll worry about not getting crushed. 6He keeps flying through the debris, working his way out.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, Tsivrixsh fighters are launching, and begin to fly in at the three Dragoons, and the shuttle
[22:00] <13Kit> 6Chii shifts their ramming method and rodeos it while it's lassoed
09[22:00] <13@Sammael> "Working on it..."
[22:00] <13@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I think i'll focus on the fighters bearing down on us.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* The dragoon cuts the whip with it's sword. The one fighting Zephyr fires a beam blast at her
[22:00] <13SPoC> <Dias> That's what those blips mean.
15[22:00] * 13@Sammael continues with the shield, "I'll keep working on the shield then."
[22:01] <13@Xanatos> Sure does.
[22:01] <13Kit> 6Megumi eyes the HUD she formed and begins to point at fighters incoming-- point and click, literally, locking. 1"Zephyr, move, quickly at 40 degrees."
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr does so without thinking on it
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* ARiel slashes the damaged Dragoon, and it makes no move to dodge - being damaged and all. Fluid gushes out
[22:02] <13Kit> 6Megumi turns and keeps pointing until she's accrued a cloud of locks, then eyes the Dragoon. 1"Target lock. Fire."
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gathers her energy and fires a blast
15[22:02] * 13@Xanatos assess their energy levels, to see if they have enough energy to defend themselves.
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Xanatos would see they have barely any energy left now
15[22:02] * 13@Ariel pulls her strike before cutting too deep. She.... expected more fight than that. So she stands defensively
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* The fighters will reach them in 25 seconds
[22:02] <13SPoC> <Dias> Screw those fighters, I'm more curious to see about those black shuttles
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> <I do not feel any control on them.>
[22:03] <13@Xanatos> Either way, in 24 seconds we'll have them on our ass and no energy to fight back.
[22:03] <13Kit> 6Megumi focuses on the dragoon now, while the locks should direct Zephyr's gathered energy into a number of individual beams against the locked fighters. She moves Zephyr, dashing toward the dragoon with their enhanced speed.
09[22:03] <13@Sammael> "What do we do? I can probably get a weak shield back up, but that's it."
[22:03] <13SPoC> 6Dias bursts out of the moon debris and heads towards the planet
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* The fighters near Megumi and Zeph explode. The dragoon fighting Cheryl turns and throws a spinning sword
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> It seems we're doomed.
[22:04] <13Kit> 6Chii hurks and uses her reflexes to yank Cheryl upward in space, performing a vacuum leapfrog over the blade.
[22:04] <13@Xanatos> Don't worry about the shields, we don't really have the means to pull it up.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* The dragoon zooms in at Megumi as well, it's fist glowing with energy.
[22:04] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Unless Dias actually does some good flying for a change.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Use whatever missiles we have.
[22:04] <13SPoC> <Dias> What's that Marcus? Show us how good you are? Of course I will.
15[22:05] * 13@Ariel growls, and attempts to contact the Dragoon. <c> "Why do you defend them? Those who would abuse our people?"
[22:05] <13@Xanatos> I planned on it. But we can't get a lock with them behind us.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* The damaged Dragoon's pilot answers. <C>Because they have our people captured. If we fail to stop you, they will die.
[22:05] <13Kit> 6Megumi eyes it with a serious expression devoid of distraction. 1"HUD enhance energy readings." 6She looks at it for a source in the dragoon channeling energy. Then holds her hands up, giving Zephyr an unexpected zero-G sudden stop and throws them into a spin in a slight arc to get around the dragoon, pointing toward any source. 1"Low power, target fire."
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr aims her finger. "Bang bang bang."
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* The fighters reach the shuttle and begin to fire
[22:06] <13@Xanatos> Break left.
[22:06] <13SPoC> 6Dias spirls around as he dodges
15[22:06] * 13@Sammael moves to hold onto somethimg.
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* BIlly uses Cassandra's breasts as support.
[22:07] <13@Xanatos> Should I let you do the shooting too, you do like to push buttons after all.
[22:07] <13@Ariel> <C> "And do you believe that killing us will save them?"
[22:07] <13Kit> 6Lilith grits her teeth and holds up her hands, forming another type of shielding-- a concentrated semisphere of electromagnetic force that should repel energy shots at angles equal to their incoming path
[22:07] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *just holds on to Billy*
[22:07] <13SPoC> <Dias> Flying here.
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> <C> Hrmph.
[22:07] <13@Xanatos> Back in my day we did both.
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* The one fighting Cheryl retreats.
[22:08] <13Kit> <Megumi> They do not have a choice, mama knight. I am aiming to disable this one-- our targets... we need to take out the warships. They serve as the sword to your people's neck.
[22:08] <13Kit> 6Chii lets it go, relieving control to Cheryl. 1"Something's up. It's retreating..."
[22:08] <13SPoC> 6Dias barrel rolls to the side.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Chii would feel a killing intent suddenly behind her.
15[22:08] * 13@Ariel attempts to fly past the dragoon, towards the warships.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* The fighters keep firing, but Lilith's shield keeps her frustrated.
[22:08] <13Kit> <Chii> The stealthships!" 6She jerks to make them fly upward, spinning around.
[22:08] <13@Xanatos> Want to run a switch up? You hit the brakes, I fire all I got at them?
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* As Chii does so, a blast flies for where their head was, but instead smashes through Cheryl's side, leaving a gaping hole
[22:09] <13Kit> <Chii> D-Damn it!
[22:09] <13SPoC> <Dias> I never turn around Xanatos. I only fly forward.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ARGH
[22:09] <13@Xanatos> Brakes. You'll be pointed the same direction, doofus.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* The tsivrixsh ships gather energy as Ariel comes in, and all three fire a barrage at only her - it's nearly impossible to go on. Will Ariel try?
09[22:09] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer just starts to pray.
[22:10] <13SPoC> <Dias> Than I'll lose speed.
[22:10] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel moves to a window, and attempts to open a ripple inside what she'd assume is the engine
[22:10] <13@Xanatos> ...if we die, it's your fault.
[22:10] <13Kit> 6Chii grinds her teeth, flaring in anger, her hands moving on their own, then holding out toward the source of the intent. 1"You bastard... burn in hell. Zettai katon!!" 6She closes her hand.
15[22:10] * 13@Ariel would try. She needs to help the others.
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Everyone pause, as ARIEL PREPARES
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* LEft, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, DOwn, LEft, Right, Up, DOwn, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 5
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 4
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 3
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 2
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 1
[22:11] <13@Ariel> rldurldurldurldurldurldurldurldurl
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> -0-
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Everyone may resume!
[22:12] <13Kit> <Megumi> I think I have disabled this one for now. Zephy, we must do something about the warships." 6She eyes Ariel trying. 1"Heheh. This is your specialty. Let us give the farthest one a lesson in spatial physics.
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ariel flies past all the attacks, getting a few seconds to attack one
15[22:13] * 13@Ariel scrapes a blade across the hull of the ship for good measure, before releasing a hyperspace blast at the bridge
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a super blast flies at Zephyr, smashing her shoulder and leaving a gaping hole. A black shuttle is behind them
[22:13] <13Kit> 6Megumi brings them around so that the warships are in sight, pointing at the third and farthest away. 1"Evasiv-- gah!"
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* The blast hits the shields, tearing into it, and it barely holds. The ship begins to pull back
15[22:13] * 13@Xanatos works on trying to drop activated missiles behind them, though that may prove an impossible task.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Raquel blows up a poor pilot by taking away his engines
[22:13] <13@Ariel> <Hmm... they've improved their technology. It never stopped that before.>
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> <Dark technology. It is dangerous.>
[22:14] <13Kit> 6Megumi pulls up a subscreen and eyes the impact point, doing the math and spinning them around to that reflective point. 1"Zephyr. No-lock. Fire!"
[22:14] <13SPoC> 6Dias arcs downard and as he spins the shuttle.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fires a dragoon bustah shot, putting most her energy into it. The black ship is hit, and it begins to seem as if it won't be destroyed, but then explodes. The one fighting Chii attempts to get out of the range of her attack
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* A dark shuttle appears in front of Dias, and fires a blast.
[22:15] <13SPoC> 6Dias barrelrolls to the side to try and avoid it
[22:15] <13Kit> <Megumi> D-Damn it. It is up to mama knight.
15[22:15] * 13@Xanatos tries to launch a missile as they are evading, though it may go wide.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* The side of the shuttle is hit by the blast, and the side wall goes out. Air begins to get sucked out
[22:15] <13Kit> <Megumi> We can use the bond. Take evasive, Zephy, I will handle the targetting locks and send the information to mama knight through the bond.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts to hold on, and Paladin grips a seat. <PAladin> Dammit.
[22:16] <13SPoC> 6SPoC grips on tightly
15[22:16] * 13@Sammael holds onto something, as does Jennifer, who cries out in surprise.
15[22:16] * 13@Ariel fires a blast towards the engines as it turns, turning to assess the situation
[22:16] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron jerks to grasp his seat. 1Cassandra. Use your that...goop...if you would.
[22:16] <13SPoC> <Dias> Bastard hit us...6He growls and keeps pushing forward
[22:16] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel grabs onto something, and attempts to use a pair of ripples as a temperary seal
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis narrows her eyes. "We are being fired at.' 6* Though Ariel can't see an attacker.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* X does the same as RAquel'
[22:16] <13Kit> 6Lilith turns, dropping the electromagnetic shielding in favor of gripping at ends of the hold and pulling them toward one another-- bending the hull.
15[22:16] * 13@Ariel quickly dodges left, trying to sense the attacker
[22:16] <13@Xanatos> I blame you. really.
[22:16] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> To do what?!
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ariel's blast hits the shielded engines, tearing into it. As Ariel dodges, her hand would be hit, burned. A black shuttle is there.
09[22:17] <13@Sammael> "That is... a useful ability..."
[22:17] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> I can't control it! She...Myria!
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* The black shuttle stalks Dias, the other fighters backing off.
[22:17] <13SPoC> <Dias> You know what? Screw you all.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy shakes pon pons. "Rah rah, Dias."
[22:17] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron watches the others work and just nods to Lilith.
[22:17] <13SPoC> <Dias> THANK YOU BILLY. 6He waves a hand back at her
[22:17] <13Kit> <Chii> You think you're getting away? Don't make me laugh." 6She starts laughing creepily, bringing her other hand around. 1"Zettai futon. Plasma Flare rengeki."
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr begins to fly forward.
[22:17] <13@Myria> Ok! *pushes a button on her suit and Cassandra's suit jumps and applies a more physical patch.
15[22:17] * 13@Ariel winces some, striking out at the shuttle with her energy blade.
[22:18] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus groans and puts a hand to his head. 1Dias. I believe in you. But I swear if you kill me...
[22:18] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...this is humiliating...
[22:18] <13Kit> 6Chii pours her energy into fanning the flames with summoned wind, both on the ridiculous overdrive scale, if Cheryl's coherent, out of pure anger.
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* The blade hits into the shuttle, tearing into it slightly. It fires another blast at her as she's in close
[22:18] <13@Xanatos> They're out there somewhere. And our sensors aren't really helping.
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's remaining energy is put forth as well, and the attack hits their shuttle, blowing it up. Dias would see, ironically, the planet. He's almost there
[22:19] <13SPoC> 6Dias jerks the shuttle upwards into another arc for the planet, than spirals to the side mid arc
[22:19] <13Kit> <Chii> Shindeyo kisama!
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs a bit, trying to feel them out. "Dias, they are behind us, 400 meters, to your left - 12 degrees."
15[22:19] * 13@Ariel can't dodge at that range. Not fully. She tries to twist out of the way and grab the enemy ship, releasing a hyperspace blast into it.
[22:19] <13SPoC> <Dias> Kat, I have no idea what you said.
[22:19] <13Kit> <Dawn> Adjust two degrees with a one degree diagonal for a counter attack to the engines.
[22:19] <13Kit> 6Dawn sighs. 1"Do we have weapons on this?"
[22:20] <13@Xanatos> Yeah don't look at me. We can't fire backwards.
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* The blast hits into Ariel, tearing into her armor, leaving a hole in her thigh, but her attack does hit the shuttle, blowing it up.
[22:20] <13Kit> <Dawn> Yes we can." 6He eyes Lilith after the shielding stunt.
[22:20] <13SPoC> <Dias> Someone doesn't keep up. 6He notes to Xanatos
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> X. Raquel. Open a ripple. Everyone, fire thorugh it
[22:20] <13@Xanatos> Yeah what can you do.
[22:20] <13Kit> <Dawn> Hm. Yes, General. Splendid.
[22:20] <13SPoC> 6SPoC grabs her rifle and clicks the safety off.
[22:20] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to X, then nods to Paladin, doing as instructed.
[22:21] <13Kit> 6Dawn unshoulders his rifle and begins to unfold the block into a massive chamber rifle.
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* X does so as well, setting her's up incase the ship dodges.
[22:21] <13SPoC> 6SPoC fires into X's ripple
15[22:21] * 13@Sammael stands up and gets ready. She fires a hyperspace beam through the ripple.
[22:21] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Knew you were the boss for some reason, mate. 6He says to Paladin, firing a hyperspace beam for Raquel's ripple.
[22:21] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron begins to fire through X's ripple.
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy tosses energy through
[22:21] <13Kit> 6Dawn pulls back the lever to increase the charging capacity, then lines it up to fire perfectly straight into the ripple, pulling the trigger and being tossed back into the rear of the shuttle.
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> <Ariel, we may should fly for the planet. I do not know if we can fight much longer.>
[22:22] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus sends a charged, condensed shot from his shotgun through Raquel's ripple.
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Their attacks slam into the dark shuttle, and it goes to ddoge.
[22:22] <13Kit> <Lilith> Raquel. Arrow.
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strains, holding her side, to remain in dragoon form, looking as if she might pass out
[22:22] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron releases a grenade now, since X set up a ripple for if they dodged.
15[22:22] * 13@Ariel reforms armour over the wound as a form of bandage, cringing. <Those... are unnaturally powerful...> She heads towards the planet, knowing that a direct hit would be fatal. And she's impared.
[22:23] <13SPoC> 6SPoC continues firing into the X's ripple
[22:23] <13Kit> 6Megumi stubbornly studies the information being scanned on the warships and their integrity. 1"I think we need to retreat for now, Zephy..."
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* The damaged ship floats out of control.
[22:23] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel releases a holy blast into X's ripple as hers fades.
15[22:23] * 13@Xanatos glances over his shoulder to watch them. 1Never had abilities like that back in my day.
[22:23] <13@Myria> Go, Theron!
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <If we can attack that battleship Ariel damaged, we might be able to take one out>
[22:23] <13SPoC> <Dias> Yeah, we kids got all the fancy things.
09[22:23] <13@Sammael> "We are an interesting crew."
[22:23] <13@Xanatos> Here I thought I was awesome for using remote technology on my shuttle.
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* The dark shuttle pulls back.
[22:24] <13Kit> <Megumi> ...I can augment your firing channel with dark matter at least once if you still have the energy." 6She blinks. 1"I know. Fly us thirty-two degrees due planetside. Line the shot up with all three ships, with the damaged one out front."
[22:24] <13Kit> <Megumi> We will make the most of our capability.
09[22:24] <13@Sammael> "A practical application now used on many shuttles. There is cause to be proud."
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, then begins to fly for the location
[22:24] <13SPoC> <Dias> I can sell snow to an eskimo.
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dias reaches the planet atmosphere
[22:25] <13@Xanatos> I'm sure you can.
[22:25] <13Kit> 6Dawn slowly crawls back into the cabin of the shuttle. 1"...I underestimated the recoil."
[22:25] <13SPoC> 6Dias begins to adjust their descent angle.
09[22:25] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer looks at Dawn. "Yeah, you went flying."
[22:25] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Don't worry mate. I won't tell Aya.
[22:25] <13Kit> <Dawn> I only worked on projectile weaponry until I joined you guys.
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr arrives, then takes aim
[22:26] <13Kit> <Dawn> Bullets just don't cut it these days...
09[22:26] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer muses, "I dunno, she might giggle at it."
[22:26] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus winks at Kat. 1Nice thinking.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at Marcus
[22:26] <13SPoC> 6Dias coughs as Marcus says that.
[22:26] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Might want to get that cough checked out, Dias.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Good thing is once you beat this enemies, all your powers will be greater than any enemy left.
[22:26] <13SPoC> <Dias> Ass.
[22:26] <13Kit> 6Megumi maps the firing line and overlaps it with the least shielding obstruction. Then takes a deep breath and lies her hands on Zephy's panneling. 1"Okay. One shot."
[22:27] <13SPoC> <Dias> Wait. I'll be the strongest man in the galaxy?
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr strains, puttnig all her remaining energy
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> No
[22:27] <13Kit> <Megumi> Ready...
[22:27] <13SPoC> <Dias> Good. 6He smiles cockilly
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr aims
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> That would be Erevis.
[22:27] <13SPoC> <Dias> Erevis is a man?
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Scary, no?
[22:27] <13Kit> 6Megumi makes sure to restrain at least a percentage of Zephyr's energy so they don't break form. 1"Maximum effect probability path locked. Fire."
[22:27] <13SPoC> <Dias> Huh, that explains a lot.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fries.
[22:28] <13@Xanatos> Least I don't feel so bad for being dumped now.
[22:28] <13SPoC> <Dias> And makes their relationship that much more creepy.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Okay, I'm lying. But she still is stronger.
[22:28] <13SPoC> <Dias> But I didn't say person. I said man.
[22:28] <13Kit> <Chii> ... ... Cherry, you still with me..?
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* X seems to debate killing this Erevis to make II fear her
[22:28] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Obviously i'm the strongest bloke. Eh luv?
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't respond, focused on retaining form
[22:29] <13Kit> 6Lilith frowns at X.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* X hangs her head
[22:29] <13Kit> <Chii> Sorry. You got hurt, I may have overreacted a little.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dias reaches land.
15[22:29] * 13@Sammael rubs her face and sighs a little, looking down.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Teh blast hits the damaged ship, causing it to explode, but their attack hits the second ship's shields ,stopped in it's tracks
[22:29] <13SPoC> 6Dias shifts the shuttle around for a landing, turning it around and landing it.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just mumbles. "Get us to ground...quickly..."
[22:30] <13Kit> 6Megumi shifts their path into an optimum descent path with the atmosphere to follow the shuttle while the second's shields are still being hammered.
[22:30] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Holy crap. We actually made it?
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis shows Ariel where the others are at with her mind
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> That's because you are all well trained
[22:30] <13SPoC> <Dias> Duh. 6He powers the shuttle down and lowers the ramp.
[22:31] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Wait a minute. You bragging on us, Paladin?
[22:31] <13Kit> 6Chii nods. 1"You got it." 6She eyes space and the shrapnel about, trying an old hat trick. She draws a breath in and forms devouring runes along Cheryl's hull, trying to absorb the dying as she flies them toward the others, to recover their energy
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Yes.
[22:31] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Huh, I feel weird now.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> We just need to wait for Ariel to see if she remembers where her people are at.
[22:31] <13SPoC> <Dias> It's cuz he loves us. 6He smiles and moves to the back and down the ramp.
09[22:31] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer gets up, stumbling a bit disoriented. "Wow... are your guys shuttle rides always like this?"
[22:31] <13Kit> <Chii> If we're anything alike, or integrated now... I bet you're a reaper dragon.
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy looks at Jen. "Sure you want to join them now?"
[22:32] <13Kit> <Lilith> Yes.
15[22:32] * 13@Xanatos rubs his chin. 1Well. I'll get started on trying to fix this. Since we'll need something to fly home.
15[22:32] * 13@Ariel heads for the position, flying carefully. She more heavily reliant on her wings for flight, in an atmosphere.
09[22:32] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer looks at Billy and smiles a little. "I can get used to it."
15[22:32] * 13@Xanatos shifts to do just that.
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is quiet at that, probably not liking the idea of eating souls to heal herself
15[22:32] * 13SPoC stands up, and moves down the ramp. She stops as the base of it and kneels, looking around
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ariel would land a few feet away
15[22:33] * 13@Sammael moves down the ramp, looking around.
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lands with a rough thud, on her belly
[22:33] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek stands up and peers down the ramp. 1I think they've made it.
[22:33] <13SPoC> <Dias> What gave you that thought? 6He begins moving towards Zephyr
[22:33] <13Kit> 6Chii gathers enough that they're not critical, then relies on her reflexes to get them away from the ships and toward planetside, ceasing the technique feeling ashamed after glinting Cheryl's take on it.
[22:33] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Intuition, mate.
15[22:33] * 13@Ariel kicks up dirt around the shuttle as she buffets the air to make her landing. It's smooth for her, a little more awkward for others on the ground. But she tries to be careful.
[22:34] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus stands up and moves down the ramp.
[22:34] <13SPoC> 6SPoC narrows her eyes to keep dust out
[22:34] <13Kit> <Megumi> Ano... graceful, oneechan.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds up a face.
09[22:34] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer moves down the ramp a bit, getting her balance again.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr returns to her original form, clothed still - however, Megumi is naked.
[22:35] <13SPoC> <Dias> Nice job Zeph...6His jaw drops.
[22:35] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek shifts his head to the side from the dust, making a face, he then peers at Megumi. 1Well, least I got to see a show on this mission, eh?
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds her shoulder, wincing
[22:35] <13Kit> 6Megumi snickers at Zephyr's landing, then blinks at Zephyr-- looking to herself. 1"...H-Hey!?" 6She covers herself turning beat red. 1"Wh-when did you learn that?"
[22:35] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron steps down the ramp and then peers around at the planet.
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm tired of losing trench coats.
15[22:35] * 13@Myria gets Cassandra loose.
[22:35] <13SPoC> 6Dias lets out a whistle.
[22:35] <13SPoC> <Dias> You didn't have to get me anything.
[22:36] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek walks up to Zephyr and peers at her shoulder. 1You got knicked pretty good, luv.
[22:36] <13Kit> 6Megumi huddles behind Zephyr, swatting her on the rear. 1"What do you think I just lost..!?"
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis blushes now, her mind going a bit perverted on Ariel
15[22:36] * 13@Ariel lowers herself to the ground, and returns to human form. In contrast to the others, both she and Erevis have their clothes.
[22:36] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...no one...say anything... *finally steps down the ramp, followed by Myria*
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eeks.
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers over at Megumi, blushing
[22:36] <13SPoC> 6SPoC moves out a bit, still looking around, her rifle sweeping
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds out her coat to Megumi
[22:36] <13@Ariel> Raquel> *steps off* "...why is she..."
[22:36] <13Kit> 6Megumi pouts at Zephyr. 1"I lost my lingerie."
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy takes pictures
09[22:37] <13@Sammael> "Should we attempt to comm Darien? See if he's in hiding somewhere?"
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Um. I'll buy you more.
[22:37] <13Kit> <Megumi> You promise?
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Y-Yes.
[22:37] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances around for a bandage for Zephyr.
15[22:37] * 13@Ariel eyes Megumi, surprised she wears lingerie on a mission.
09[22:37] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer sticks to the middle of the group, looking around curiously, she doesn't get to go to other worlds very often.
[22:37] <13Kit> 6Megumi nods once, then rises, closing up Zephyr's coat on herself. She eyes Ariel.
[22:37] <13SPoC> <Dias> Well all we're missing is Cheryl and Chii.
[22:37] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> We need to assess the situation first. Trying to establish communications prematurely could lead the enemy to Darien.
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lands in a kneeling position, turning back to normal. Her side wound is still bad, but not life threatening now.
[22:37] <13Kit> <Megumi> I usually do not. You awoke me from a special night.
[22:37] <13SPoC> <Dias> And there she is.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Cassandra is right
09[22:38] <13@Sammael> "I see..."
15[22:38] * 13@Ariel shakes her head, "My appologies then."
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I-ta-ta... 6* She says with a grimace
[22:38] <13Kit> <Chii> Yes?
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Huh?
[22:38] <13SPoC> <Dias> You gonna be alright, Cheryl?
[22:38] <13Kit> <Chii> ..D-Damn it! I'm not I-ta-ta..!
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Fine.
15[22:38] * 13@Ariel is heavily favoring her left leg right now, a patch of red visable under her armour.
[22:39] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> Hmm. I believe if we figure out his point of impact, we might be able to find him.
[22:39] <13SPoC> 6Dias nods and turns to look at Paladin. 1"So what now?"
[22:39] <13Kit> <Dawn> Leave that to me.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy pokes Cheryl's side, causing her to howl
[22:39] <13Kit> <Dawn> General, do you still have the footage from his black box before the crash?
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks around boredly.
[22:39] <13SPoC> <SPoC> If he had jumped out before the crash, the point of impact will only tell us where the shuttle landed.
[22:39] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek goes back up the shuttle ramp to find a medical kit, walking back down towards Zephyr, to start patching up her shoulder.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> On my datapad. However, I think we should find Ariel's people before General Starr.
[22:39] <13Kit> <Dawn> It's all we have. It's a starting point.
[22:40] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks over at X. 1"Think you can feel out Darien?
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> <X> No.
[22:40] <13Kit> <Dawn> I'll look for him alone, then.
[22:40] <13@Xanatos> <Theron> I would not suggest that.
15[22:40] * 13@Ariel eyes Paladin. She wants to say something, but it's hard to argue... especially since she knows they're held hostage.
[22:40] <13SPoC> <SpoC> He would also not remain in the same place. He will most likely head to Ariel's people if he knew where to go.
[22:40] <13Kit> <Dawn> It's my specialty. Tracking and moving alone is my path.
09[22:40] <13@Sammael> "Right... so let's find Ariel's people."
[22:41] <13Kit> 6Dawn rubs his neck. 1"I would be in no more danger than remaining here. Or I would not suggest it."
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Gasp? She's not going with Dawn to save her boy toy?
15[22:41] * 13@Sammael looks at Dawn. "Are you sure you can find him?"
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> <PAladin> Ariel, we'll need you to take point and lead us to your people.
[22:41] <13SPoC> <Dias> Than go. We'll manage without you.
15[22:41] * 13@Xanatos walks to the edge of the ramp. 1I'll need some time to fix this. Don't have too much fun without me.
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll go with Dawn. I may be of help
09[22:41] <13@Sammael> "I'm going with Dawn then..."
[22:42] <13Kit> <Dawn> I'm not stupid enough to give a garauntee, but if I can find Starr I can alleviate some of the tension." 6He eyes Ariel, then looks away. 1"And keep my oneesama's job."
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Ah, how easy to sway her mind.
04[22:42] <13Kit> 6Dawn glares at Sammael. 1"No."
09[22:42] <13@Sammael> "Why not?"
15[22:42] * 13@Ariel nods hesitantly, "I... understand."
[22:42] <13SPoC> 6dias eyes Dawn. 1"Dude, don't be a dick."
[22:42] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Wait a minute. Should we really be splitting up?
[22:42] <13Kit> <Dawn> You have no training, and unlike Katrina, no ability to detect others. It's nothing personal. You're just a risk.
09[22:42] <13@Sammael> "I have the ability to fight."
[22:42] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Nah luv. It's personal. Mate doesn't like you very well.
[22:42] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "Journal wrote:
[22:42] <13@Ariel> "huh.... that ain't something you see everyday."
[22:42] <13@Ariel> "Even at MSFHigh."
[22:43] <13Kit> <Dawn> We all have that. My point is to remain unseen and out of sight.
[22:43] <13@Ariel> NRP: ...crap
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> The President said they can do as they liked, Marcus. We'll go with our mission as they do their's.
[22:43] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...will you need assistance?"
15[22:43] * 13@Xanatos shrugs as he's ignored and walks back into the shuttle.
09[22:43] <13@Sammael> "I came here to find Darien..."
15[22:43] * 13@Xanatos rubs his head. 1Uh. Ok.
04[22:43] <13Kit> <Dawn> And frankly, Darien would be at better peace of mind if you were where you were best useful and safe, Sammael.
[22:43] <13Kit> 6Dawn peers upward. 1"Trust me."
15[22:43] * 13@Ariel ponders a moment, then checks her datapad to get an idea of where they are on the planet. So she can lead them to the ruins.
[22:44] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Well i'm going with you Dawn. Deal with it.
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* They're a few miles out.
[22:44] <13Kit> <Dawn> I suppose I'll have to. I don't think I can knife a progenitor.
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll guard Xanatos. I'd be a liability for now.
[22:44] <13SPoC> <Dias> Wow, how'd a dick like you get a girl like Aya?
[22:44] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody right. Besides. Anything happens to you, Fiore would swat me a good one.
[22:44] <13Kit> 6Dawn peers at Dias, then just shakes his head.
[22:45] <13Kit> <Dawn> Right. Let's go, Kat, Drasek.
[22:45] <13@Ariel> "We're... not too far. This way..." *she starts moving some.. Not quite as quick as she might. But she does want to get this over with. So her people will be safe, and so she can help Darien*
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina goes with Dawn, waving at Marcus. "Be safe."
15[22:45] * 13@Sammael frowns and moves over with Drasek. "I'm going too."
[22:45] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus winks at Katrina, 1You too.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin grabs some supplies, moving to follow Ariel. Zephyr smiles for Drasek, then moves on
[22:45] <13Kit> 6Dawn smiles to Drasek, then moves. 1"Paladin, sent the footage to my datapad and I'll use it to analyze the falling trajectory."
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, then goes to follow Ariel.
[22:46] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel idly wanders off to join Kat, Drasek and Dawn.
15[22:46] * 13@Sammael walks after Dawn and Drasek.
04[22:46] <13Kit> 6Dawn pauses, turning to eye Sammael and Raquel, twitching.
[22:46] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek nods to Zephyr, moving off with Dawn. 1You just let me know if I need to shoot something.
[22:46] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *moves forward after Ariel.
09[22:46] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer of course, stays with the main group.
[22:46] <13SPoC> 6Dias adjust his gloves.
[22:46] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...if there's trouble, no one can get you away faster than I can."
[22:46] <13@Xanatos> 6* Theron shifts his rifle and then begins to move.
15[22:46] * 13@Myria moves right after Theron.
[22:46] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Dude. I bet it's cause he has a huge wang. 6He tells Dias as he moves, talking about Dawn and Aya.
[22:47] <13SPoC> <Dias> Now that'd be ironic.
04[22:47] <13Kit> 6Dawn grinds his teeth slightly. 1"... ... Sammael, stay with Raquel."
[22:47] <13SPoC> 6Dias walks alongside Marcus.
[22:47] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Ironic?
[22:47] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "......"
[22:47] <13SPoC> <Dias> A girly man like that, having a huge wang.
[22:47] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to Katrina for back up on this.
[22:47] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Ah yeah. Thought you had a Chad joke you were about to bust out.
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina just gives Raquel an encouraging smile. "Well, let us all hurry."
[22:48] <13Kit> <Dawn> I'll take point. Drasek, follow me, the two girls stay near one another as they benefit each other best and Katrina will take up tail as the other detector.
15[22:48] * 13@Sammael looks between them all.
[22:48] <13SPoC> <Dias> It'd be like going up against a giant guy who had a squeezy voice.
[22:48] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Listen at you, taking charge. Oh how Aya would swoon, eh?
[22:48] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel nods reluctantly.
[22:48] <13Kit> <Dawn> I don't like leading. It's easier to work alone. Less to worry and think about." 6He turns, taking to moving again.
15[22:48] * 13@Sammael looks at Raquel, apparently assigned to stick with her and nods a little.
[22:48] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh like that one dude back in Boston.
[22:49] <13Kit> <Dawn> At least my pointman can take a bullet to the head and keep walking.
[22:49] <13SPoC> <Dias> Yeah like him.
15[22:49] * 13@Ariel grits her teeth, partially out of pain, partially due to the situation. She needs to get one of those new tacsuits.
[22:49] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Not like i'm going to enjoy it, you know.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis psionically keeps her mind from detecting the pain in her leg, to help her
[22:49] <13Kit> <Dawn> Don't worry. I'll protect you." 6He chuckles softly.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* The scene shifts to focus on Team Ariel for now
[22:50] <13Kit> 6Megumi moves to assist Zephyr, sighing.
03[22:50] * Xanatos is now known as Marcus
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks, holding her shoulder still, smiling for Megumi
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* She looks like, however, she might fall on her face
[22:50] <13Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes at Billy. 1"Quit poking Cherrysama."
[22:50] <13Kit> <Megumi> Would you like me to carry you?
03[22:50] * Sammael is now known as Jennifer`
[22:50] <13SPoC> 6Dias walks along, his hands resting behind his head.
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy sighs and goes to watch Xanatos. And show him cleaveage.
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm fine. 'sides, you're too tiny.
15[22:51] * 13@Jennifer` walks along herself, still looking about curiously.
[22:51] <13Kit> <Megumi> I could carry you on my back.
[22:51] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos would probably zaip himself.
[22:51] <13SPoC> 6SPoC walks behind Jennifer.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hah.
09[22:51] <13@Jennifer`> "Haven't been to many alien worlds... this is kinda cool."
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Becareful, Jennifer. This isn't a game.
[22:51] <13Kit> <Chii> Stay alert, Jen. I haven't taught you enough for things like this.
09[22:51] <13@Jennifer`> "R-Right sir."
15[22:52] * 13@Jennifer` then nods to Chii and looks more serious.
[22:52] <13Kit> <Chii> Reaction is onyl part of it.
15[22:52] * 13@Ariel just tries to focus on saving her people, then getting to save Darien. This isn't doing much to improve her mood.
15[22:53] * 13@Marcus glances around at the scenery, keeping an eye out for movement.
[22:53] <13SPoC> <Dias> Now Marcus. Recite to me Superhero Rule #12
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes the sky, peering about
[22:54] <13@Marcus> Never give up. Never surrender.
[22:54] <13Kit> <Lilith> These missions are geeting wearier..
15[22:54] * 13@Jennifer` grins a little bit as they go on.
[22:54] <13SPoC> <Dias> Nice. Number 5.
[22:54] <13@Marcus> Don't drink milk after the expiration date. Unless it smells ok.
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* They are suddenly surrounded by Tsivrixsh, who heard them talking. There appears to be 13 of them
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* They lift their blasters.
[22:55] <13Kit> 6Lilith sighs. 1"I knew it."
[22:55] <13SPoC> 6Dias pats Marcus on the back. 1"I'm so proud right now."
[22:55] <13Kit> <Lilith> Dias. We are surrounded.
[22:55] <13@Marcus> 6* Theron pauses and raises his rifle. 1Hmm. This does not bode well.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin comes to a stop, and Erevis frowns. X peers at them. Another Tsivrixsh steps out. He seems to be part cyborg.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr stumbles to a stop.
[22:55] <13SPoC> 6SPoC turns around, sliding her back against Jennifer.
[22:55] <13@Marcus> <Skaad> Hmmm. The great Ariel, home at last. 6He wheezes in a techno-like voice.
[22:55] <13SPoC> 6Dias stops, glancing around, then eyeing hte cyborg one.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Who is that? Not Xevil.
[22:55] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...nice.
[22:56] <13@Marcus> No idea.
09[22:56] <13@Jennifer`> "Still a creepy cyborg."
[22:56] <13@Ariel> "Well... this is... oddly amussing."
[22:56] <13SPoC> <Dias> Hell if I know. Must be a nobody
15[22:56] * 13@Jennifer` holds her gun at the ready.
[22:56] <13@Ariel> "...they were half right about their cliche villian joke."
[22:56] <13@Marcus> <Skaad> Yes I often make...jokes...when the fate of my people hang at my ever...nnn....action.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> You have a speech impedement.
[22:57] <13SPoC> <Dias> I was so gonna say that. 6He points at Erevis, nodding approvingly to her
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> You should recalibate your vocal box.
[22:57] <13Kit> 6Lilith snaps her fingers, to see if EMP affects this cyborg.
15[22:57] * 13@Ariel narrows her eyes at Skaad. "I'll warn you now... I'm having a VERY bad day."
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* The EMP doesn't stop him. But the Tsivrixsh aim at Lilith now.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* X steps in front of Lilith, her violet eyes narrowing
[22:57] <13Kit> <Lilith> Electromagnetic shielding-- yet a faulty voice. Quaint.
[22:58] <13SPoC> <Dias> Right, time for the speech. What are you doing here?
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> And how did you learn of this place?
[22:58] <13@Marcus> 6* Skaad holds up a hand, apparently not going to do a speech. He's issuing them to be prepared to fire.
[22:58] <13Kit> <Lilith> Mistress, I require more energy.
[22:59] <13SPoC> <Dias> Totally not the villian of this all. 6He tenses
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* X gives her more, getting ready herself.
15[22:59] * 13SPoC tenses up as she trains her rifle on a tsiv, getting ready
[22:59] <13@Marcus> <Skaad> Ahh yes...of course you would desire to know. But I am sure that she would not...nnn...desire you to know.
[22:59] <13@Ariel> "...she?"
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. I find his voice to be irritating. I do not like it.
[22:59] <13@Marcus> <Skaad> The one who showed me the way.
[22:59] <13Kit> 6Lilith nods and raises her hands, forming more electromagnetic walls along their sides-- hoping the Tsiv will shoot themselves.
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers about, trying to form the guns
[23:00] <13Kit> <Megumi> ...It cannot be Ao..." 6She says sadly..
09[23:00] <13@Jennifer`> "What one...?"
[23:00] <13SPoC> <Dias> Clearly she's not all that if she has to use you.
[23:00] <13@Marcus> <Skaad> Enough. Let us end this.
15[23:00] * 13@Ariel eyes Skaad, "...so once again, you're someone's toady."
[23:01] <13@Marcus> 6* Skaad lowers his hand down, giving the signal to fire.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh switch their weapons frequencies, then take aim. They unleash shots much like hyperspace, that pierce the walls
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: 10-581.5.15
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> Location: Outer Rims
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Warren steps up behind Xanatos, looking much older than our last flashback, as years have passed. "I got a new assignment."
03[23:02] * Marcus is now known as Xanatos
15[23:03] * 13@Xanatos peers over his shoulder. 1Yeah? You finally getting a respectable position?
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Warren crosses his arms, stepping up to the viewport Xanatos was looking out. "Hm. I don't know. It's as the head of security for a new station they're building - the PAX."
[23:04] <13@Xanatos> The PAX? What's it all about. 6He turns his head to peer back out.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> <Warren> A station where various races will gather to initate peace in the galaxy. EarthGov fears the Tsivrixsh's growing threat.
[23:05] <13@Xanatos> Smart of them too. Sounds pretty important, though.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> <Warren> It is. That's why you got a decision to make, Durran.
15[23:06] * 13@Xanatos arches a brow, glancing at Warren now.
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> <Warren> Once I go, you'll be in charge of this backwaters facility. We both know it's an easy job these days - all the enemies are beaten. You could stay out here and coast through life with no real work.
15[23:07] * 13@Xanatos tilts his head now, thinking about that, waiting for Warren to continue with the next option.
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6* He looks at Xanatos. "Or you can come with me and by second in command in the security of the PAX."
15[23:08] * 13@Xanatos arches a brow, looking a bit shocked. 1That's risky, Warren. You sure you really want me there?
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. Probably not.
[23:09] <13@Xanatos> Ah, I get it. You need a fallback guy if you screw up, right? No problem. I'll have your back, Warren.
[23:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Warren raises a brow at that one, peering at Xanatos.
15[23:09] * 13@Xanatos looks back out the viewport, his face getting a bit serious. 1Thanks, Warren. I'll try not to let you down.
[23:10] <13@DeathStar> <Warren> I hope you don't. This is your last chance to prove yourself. 6* He turns to face away from the viewport.
15[23:11] * 13@Xanatos stares out, nodding once slightly. 1Won't let you down. 6He repeats.
[23:11] <13@DeathStar> <Warren> Now if you'll excuse me, I have to meet with Alpha Ariel - General Cartwright wants her on the team.
[23:11] <13@Xanatos> An Alpha? Haven't seen one of those in a long time. She's the pretty one, I think.
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Warren clucks his tongue. "They're all dangerous machines, Durran. You never know when they'll snap and destroy everything you care about."
