[19:59] <13@DeathStar> -0-
03[19:59] * Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
[19:59] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: Same As Last Erusian Part
[20:00] <13@DeathStar> Location: Unknown
03[20:00] * Xanatos is now known as Theron
03[20:00] * Cassandra` is now known as Myria
[20:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Myria would find herself teleported into darkness, her clothing removed in the transport, to get rid of her special suit
[20:00] <13@Myria> ...h...huh? Where?
[20:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* The lights come on and she would find herself on an empty deck. The only thing present is a chair, facing out the viewport of the city below
15[20:02] * 13@Myria steps over to the viewport and looks out.
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Erusian Theron hates so much is in the seat as she passes it. "Myria Arhnya, isn't it?"
[20:03] <13@Myria> ...yes...
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* He stands up. "I hope you haven't forgotten me. Zerith." 6* He reminds her
[20:05] <13@Myria> I wish I had.
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Erusian smiles. He glances over her nude body, his eyes lingering too long. "So you are Theron's woman now. A Yloi with a Myhr. The world is changing, isn't it?"
[20:06] <13@Myria> It was about time for it to change. *crosses her arms*
14[20:06] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> <Zerith> Too little, too late, if you ask me. Not that I blame the Yloi, mind you, like Rylon did.
[20:09] <13@Myria> We were blindly obeying the Progenitors. We thought they were gods...they weren't.
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> <Zerith> Hm. Yet you know where one of these gods are at. You work with them. Fascinating, isn't it? And if she began to order you around, would you follow her?
[20:10] <13@Myria> If what she says makes sense...but not if its stupid. I'd do the same for a human or a Cartel citizen.
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> <Zerith> The funny thing is - they are gods. I discovered that in my exhile. One of their many little secrets.

03[20:11] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) has joined #taw
03[20:12] * Kit (notany@cpe-72-177-72-110.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #taw
03[20:12] * Jackieness (Psy@h179.4.117.75.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
03[20:12] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zerith reaches out toward Myria's chin. "I will use this secret, too."
[20:13] <13@Jackieness> ...how?
03[20:13] * Jackieness is now known as Myria`
[20:13] <13@Myria`> ...how?
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> <Zerith> It's funny, really. So few Yloi, let we Myhr let you control things. Let you lead us in your wars. Time and again. We were cowards really. Or perhaps we were programmed that way by the gods. But there is one thing that sets the Yloi apart genetically that is the key to our immortality.
14[20:14] * Myria (Psy@h18.3.90.75.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
03[20:15] * Myria` is now known as Myria
[20:15] <13@Myria> ...what?
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> <Zerith> There's some DNA strands in your genetics that look completely normal, and at first, I thought nothing of it. Until I did some experiments - there's some tiny traces of Progenitor genetics in you Yloi. I discovered what all it could do - after I mixed it with some left over Dark technology. Removing the gene from a Yloi and mixing it with the dark genetic properties, I created genome for immortality
[20:18] <13@Myria> Congratulations.
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> <Zerith> It's ironic that there's so few of you left, but it works to my advantage. You Yloi will give birth to a new caste of Myhr that will live forever.
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> <Zerith> You really have doomed yourselves, you know. Stepping back and letting the Myhr take control - going to an advisory role. There's so few of you, that once the Myhr confirm my research, they will thirst for immortality. Even those who are horrorfied at the idea of killing a Yloi to gain it will think long and hard about it. And the Yloi will be too few in number to stop it
[20:21] <13@Myria> You are a monster.
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> <Zerith> Maybe. But the lucky Myhr that get the genome will rule over the other Myhr, and we'll create a new Erusian Ascendency. I've made sure to place sympathetic people in key places to whisper in the ears of others, and incite them to the idea. That's why we haven't been shot down.
[20:23] <13@Myria> Theron will stop you.
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zerith turns to face Myria, approaching her slowly now. "Will he? He didn't stop me from killing his last woman. Perhaps I will rape your body and discard your corpse for him to see? After I extract your genome."
[20:24] <13@Myria> Stay away from me...
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> <Zerith> And how will you stop me? Your suit is gone, and this ship has been outfitted with dark technology to prevent you from using your mind. You couldn't stop me even if you tried.
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* He reaches toward her now
15[20:26] * 13@Myria grabs hold of his wrist, then uses it as a pivot as she moves into a judo-style throw.
[20:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zerith is thrown and lands on his back. He rises, turning to face her now, pissed. "I'm going to make it hurt now when I use your body."
[20:27] <13@Myria> Then I'll make sure you remember me in the meantime. *moves into a ready stance*
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> Location: Planet Side
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Theron arrives at his location, with Cheryl and Chii pulling up moments later.
15[20:28] * 13@Theron is already getting out of his car and moving towards the building as they pull up.
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Some Myhr guards are present. Another man is there, and he doesn't look Erusian
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hops out of the car. "Never get a fucking break. My vacation ruined by cannibals."
15[20:30] * 13@Theron eyes the man as he approaches, trying to figure out who or what he is.
[20:30] <13Kit> <Chii> Heh..
[20:30] <13SPoC> 6A redheaded man stands, talking to the guards, wearing an odd assortment of clothes that scream Cartel.
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> <Myhr> No entrance permitted.
[20:31] <13@Theron> I sense not from the Cartel in any stance. 6He says as he steps up, peering at the guards, evaluating them probably.
[20:32] <13SPoC> <Man> But I left...6He slowly peers over at Theron, than looks back at Chii and Cheryl, a smile forming on his face now.
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guards study Theron, getting stiff. Cheryl walks up, arms crossed.
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ungh. Cartel.
[20:32] <13@Theron> May I pass? 6He asks them, eyeing their stiff stances.
[20:33] <13SPoC> <Man> If it isn't the lovely Dragon Alpha Cheryl, and wearing such a lovely ensemble. 6He eyes her up and down.
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> <Myhr> No one is allowed.
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> If it isn't Cartel Hotshot Loki, and about to lose his eyes.
[20:34] <13Kit> <Chii> That's Loki?
[20:34] <13SPoC> 6Loki holds his hands up innocently. 1"Now now Cheryl, I can't help myself."
[20:34] <13Kit> 6Chii squints toward Loki, as if being skeptical.
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Warren use to deal with the Cartel.
[20:35] <13Kit> <Chii> Same with Kat. But she ran around with Iceheart.
15[20:35] * 13@Theron shifts his stance, 1Not even a fellow Mhyr? I see. That is unfortunate.
[20:35] <13Kit> <Chii> A fire god, huh? Iceheart. Where's the lightning person?
[20:36] <13SPoC> <Loki> Ah Warren, how the universe misses him. 6He steps back, bowing slightly. 1"Fire god? 6He tilts his head towards Chii.
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What brings the Cartel here on such a fine day, Loki?
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Myhr keep an eye on Theron
[20:36] <13Kit> <Chii> Huh. Loki's a norse god of fire and tricks.
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> This one lacks the fire, but definitely has tricks.
[20:36] <13Kit> 6Chii shrugs. 1"Freyja's named after the fertility goddess in the same ring.
15[20:37] * 13@Theron takes a step back, peering up at the building, then frowns and turns to step up to the other 3 peering at them with a frown. 1"I believe I need some means to be able to communicate with the rest of my people.
[20:37] <13SPoC> 6Loki scoffs at that. 1"I'm overseeing a new trade deal. And Odin would've loved to be here, but he's too busy ruling an entire galaxy."
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure. 6* She glances at Theron. "How can we do that?"
[20:38] <13Kit> <Chii> Odin..?
[20:38] <13@Theron> If we could tap into a communication relay, we could use a comm system to send out a message to try and calm this storm. However, I do not have the abilities for such a task.
[20:38] <13Kit> 6Chii pauses, then puts her hands over her mouth, stiffling laughter.
[20:39] <13SPoC> 6Loki shakes his head at Chii, then moves his hands behind his back, eyeing Theron.
[20:39] <13Kit> <Chii> Where's Thor and Tyr?
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, if you want my opinion, we need to get our hands on the data that your nemesis sent, and get rid of it before people confirm it, or pretend to.
[20:39] <13SPoC> <Loki> Who's Thor and Tyr?
[20:40] <13@Theron> 6* Theron frowns and rubs his chin, 1Hm. How could we get that data. 6He peers upward at the tsiv ships in the sky. 1Unless of course, we are to go there.
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You go up there, you'll lose.
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Better to break into this place than to take on the actual ship.
[20:41] <13SPoC> 6Loki peers at Theron. 1"A man of your strength should be able to easily tear these people down so you can utilize this facility."
[20:41] <13@Theron> 6* Theron peers at the building, then Cheryl. 1It is not certain that the information is here.
[20:41] <13Kit> 6Chii eyes Cheryl and Theron discussing this right in front of the place and a third party
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fact. But the gun is.
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* The two guards eye each other, then the others, then each other. They begin to get out their comms slowly
[20:42] <13SPoC> 6Loki quickly motions towards the guards. 1"Looks like they're going to call their friends."
[20:42] <13Kit> 6Chii sprints over and slams her palm toward one's chin, twisting to kick at the other's throat.
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, looks like it's decided.
[20:42] <13@Theron> Hmm. Yes. It would appear so.
[20:43] <13SPoC> <Loki> Feisty lil' fox you got there Cheryl.
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Erusians snap to attention as Chii attacks, grabbing Chii's palm and throwing her up in the air. The other grabs his weapon.
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. She's better than any man I know.
[20:43] <13@Theron> 6* Theron tenses and dashes forward to send a fist toward the guard pulling out his weapons.
[20:43] <13SPoC> <Loki> I should give you Icehearts number sometime.
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl casually keeps talking, not moving to help Chii or Theron.
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not interested. Not gay, really. But you can tell her Katrina's in Tokyo.
[20:44] <13Kit> 6Chii blinks as she's airborne, twirling around and reaching into her clothing to throw her wallet into one of the guard's face.
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guard is punched, then hit by a wallet. He stumbles, then does a roundhouse kick at Theron
[20:44] <13Kit> 6Chii brings her body around, poising to stomp her foot down onto the guard's shoulder.
15[20:44] * 13@Theron shifts his body around to do a sweep for the guard.
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guard is stomped, and thus, cannot stop the sweep. He goes down . The first guard grabs a gun and aims at Chii
15[20:45] * 13@Theron pulls his elbow around for the guard's face after he is swept.
[20:45] <13SPoC> <Loki> She already knows. 6He smiles over at Cheryl. 1"So how's the lil bundle of joy doing?"
15[20:45] * 13@Theron then jerks forward and kicks up to knock the guard's aim high.
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> He's good. 6* She leans back to eye Ben in the car, watching.
[20:46] <13SPoC> 6Loki follows her glance than back to her again. 1"Field trip. I like your style."
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* The first guard goes down, and the other's aim is knocked off.
[20:46] <13Kit> 6Chii pushes herself, springing backwards and knife-edges her outside foot up for the guard's chin, poising a palm then spinning to thrust it to the gut.
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guard hurks, and goes down. Ben claps. <Ben> Superhero!
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, I had Lemon doing something, so I couldn't leave him with her.
[20:47] <13Kit> 6Chii leaps forward in a small hop, rounding her foot and stomping down.
[20:47] <13Kit> <Chii> Stay down, damn it.
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guard doesn't get up this time. Ben leaps out and runs to Chii, leaping up at her. "That was cool!"
[20:47] <13SPoC> <Loki> I'm sure he'll be fine. 6He waves his hand dismissevly.
[20:48] <13Kit> 6Chii takes a step away from the guards and reaches down to fix the ties on the side of her bikini before blinking and catching Ben.
[20:48] <13Kit> <Chii> Not dressed for this..-- h-hey!
15[20:48] * 13@Theron pulls himself to his feet and kneels to restrain the guards, incase they wake up. Then he begins to remove their comms and weaponry.
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> <Ben> Can I do that too? Show me how.
[20:48] <13Kit> <Chii> I told you Ben... you shouldn't learn my tactics...
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well. That took you two long enough. 6* She notes, peering back at them
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ben sulks
[20:48] <13Kit> 6Chii flips Cheryl off. 1"I don't have any of my stuff."
[20:49] <13@Theron> 6* Theron tosses a pistol towards Chii and then one of the comms towards Cheryl.
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ben mimics the bird
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches it.
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> *catches
[20:49] <13Kit> 6Chii catches the gun on her extended finger, twirling it, then grips the handle.
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Great. You taught him how to say fuck you with his finger
[20:49] <13Kit> <Chii> Yeah?
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Might as well teach him about sex while you're at it.
[20:49] <13Kit> 6Chii eyes Ben. 1"You ever do that I'll have to break your finger.
[20:50] <13Kit> <Chii> Standard procedure, kid.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ben jerks and widens his eyes in fear
[20:50] <13@Theron> You will not kill unless you must. 6He moves for the door, opening and peering in to see if there are any other guards in sight.
[20:50] <13Kit> <Chii> Don't worry! Just don't don't do it and I won't.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* There afew four more guards in the inside room area.
[20:50] <13Kit> <Chii> Promise?
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ben nods in fear
[20:50] <13Kit> <Chii> Good boy. Ice cream after we've raided this place.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nice. And here I was told I was harsh to the kid.
[20:51] <13@Theron> 6* Theron slips back out and holds up 4 fingers. Then sets his pistol to stun.
[20:51] <13Kit> 6Chii holds Ben up and moves him behind her shoulders. 1"Hold on, kiddo. You want two or one, Theron?"
[20:51] <13Kit> 6She moves to adjust the gun's setting for once.
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, Loki, I guess you should go on off. Hate to see you get hsot.
[20:52] <13@Theron> I will enter. You will come in after me and fire at the closest two. I will dive and take out the other two if that is possible.
[20:52] <13SPoC> <Loki> And miss this? Hardly, I haven't had this kind of excitement in awhile. 6He smiles mischeviously
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. And why are you here anyway if you're on a trade agreement?
[20:53] <13SPoC> <Loki> Let's just say this. The Cartel has already invested a lot in rebuilding this planet and we'd hade to have to do it again.
15[20:53] * 13@Theron moves to the door and waits on Chii. Pulling the gun arm behind his back.
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hrm.
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> Location: Paladin Shuttle
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin eyes the chronometer counting down until they can exit hyperspace. He sent a quick report to Earth, hoping it gets to people in time.
15[20:54] * 13SPoC sits in the co-pilots seat. 1"I do not like the idea of going in blind."
15[20:55] * 13@Jennifer` sits looking at her hand, tinkering a little to occupy her time and take her mind off everything that just happened.
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> We have no choice. We have to warn the Erusian Ascendency.
[20:56] <13SPoC> We will most likely run into the remaining cruisers.
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Probably.
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin leans back, looking like he's suffering from a concussion
15[20:57] * 13@Jennifer` gets up and walks over to Paladin, "Mind if I take a look...?"
15[20:57] * 13SPoC eyes Paladin. 1"Are you sure you will be fine?"
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> I'm alright. I took some medical stuff already.
15[20:58] * 13@Jennifer` nods a bit. "Alright."
[20:59] <13SPoC> If you experience any problems, please let me know so I can adjust properly
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* The chronometers beeps as it reaches zero, and Paladin leans forward to bring them out. "I will." 6* They can see the planet ahead, and three cruisers are all positioned in the upper atmosphere
15[20:59] * 13@Jennifer` looks out at them and frowns deeply. "Are we too late?"
[21:00] <13SPoC> Is Theron not vacationing here?
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> He is - General Cheryl, too. We need to locate them and see what we can do. 6* He pulls out a comm and begins to open it, working on something
15[21:01] * 13@Jennifer` sits back down and buckles up.
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin clicks the comm together and hits a button, sending a weird signal out that's high pitched
15[21:02] * 13SPoC keeps tabs on the three cruisers
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> There. That should get Cheryl's attention. Hopefully she can find our frequency and contact us. 6* He reassembles the comm.
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> Location: Planet Side
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans against the outside wall, peering at Theron
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ready?
[21:04] <13Kit> <Chii> Say when.
[21:04] <13@Theron> When. 6He moves forward, opening the door and stepping in, gun behind his back.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah, hilarious alien miscommunication.
[21:04] <13Kit> 6Chii moves to follow him.
[21:04] <13SPoC> 6Loki watches the three.
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Myhr turn to face Theron, raising their weapons. "Halt. Who are you?"
[21:05] <13Kit> 6Chii giggles squealishly. 1"Are you sure it's alone and dark in here, Therry?"
[21:05] <13Kit> <Chii> Hey, you said it was empty.
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ben peers around Chii. "Momma Chii...?"
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts a hand to her face, hearing the convo from outside
15[21:06] * 13@Theron groans slightly and pauses, holding up a hand. 1Hmm. This is troublesome.
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> <Myhr> Detain them. 6* The other three begin to approach the two
[21:06] <13SPoC> <Loki> Looks like trouble. Cheryl, would you indulge me? 6He motions her to move in with him
[21:07] <13Kit> 6Chii stops laughing once she can see them, then counts to two in her head before drawing the gun and firing twice. Once to the leftmost, once to the right.
[21:07] <13SPoC> 6Loki shifts to stop when he hears gunfire. 1"A shame, really."
[21:07] <13@Theron> 6* Theron raises up his hand to fire for the third and remaining one, then for the one in the back.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Loki, then steps in as well. The Myhr are shot, stumbling. They raise their weapons, the stun having little effect on them.
[21:07] <13Kit> 6Chii ducks down and fires once for each guard again, aiming for the face.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Theron's do the same . They open fire - with real kill setting
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps in and grabs Ben, rolling with him.
[21:08] <13SPoC> 6Loki just peers in through the doorway, watching.
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Chii's two guards stop. The one in the back hits a button on his wrist
15[21:08] * 13@Theron shifts lowe to try and avoid the fire, then springs forward towards to tackle the third one.
[21:08] <13Kit> <Chii> The hell, Theron. Can't pick them off but they're all but immune to stunning.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* The third one is tackled, sluggish from the stun. He tries to punch Theron
[21:09] <13@Theron> 6* Theron attempts to stop the punch from the third one, firing a stun shot for the face of the one in the back.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* The one in the back is shot and falls over now
[21:10] <13Kit> 6Chii eyes Cheryl, nodding. Relieved of Ben she sprints for the back, keeping watch
[21:10] <13@Theron> 6* Theron aims the pistol towards the one's head.
[21:10] <13@Theron> What did that button do?
[21:10] <13Kit> <Chii> Probably a silent alarm.
[21:10] <13SPoC> 6Loki steps inside now that it's clear. 1"Good job guys."
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> <Myhr> <The entire bunker knows you're here now.>
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl suddenly howls like a dog.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Chii's bond connection would distort from interference, but it's so mild it's like a minor annoyance.
[21:11] <13Kit> 6Chi twitches and grabs her face, wincing. 1"Wh-What the fuck is that..!?"
15[21:11] * 13@Theron says a curse in Tsiv, since it seems more vile and stuns the remaining one, pausing to eye Cheryl.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head. "The fuck. Someone just played havoic with my hearing."
[21:12] <13SPoC> <Loki> I bet it's those damn tsiv.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the comm in her hand, then pauses, checking through the frequencies.
[21:12] <13SPoC> 6Loki peers around as he walks in further.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* The lobby area leads to a door that's sealed shut
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> <On Comm> This is General Paladin. Cheryl - Theron, do you read me?
15[21:12] * 13@Theron stands up and moves towards the sealed door, peering it over.
[21:13] <13SPoC> 6Loki moves upto the door than raps his knuckle agains it.
15[21:13] * 13@Theron glances over his shoulder towards Paladin's voice.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl clicks the button down. "General?" <Paladin> There you are - our base was attacked by these cruisers. We followed them here. Do you need assistance? We're tracing your location
[21:14] <13SPoC> <Loki> It would appear they've locked you guys out.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* As they talk, a Myhr walks in from the front entrance, weapon aimed, about to fire at Cheryl when he's hit in the back and falls forward. Cheryl peers up
[21:15] <13@Theron> 6* Theron snaps around, pistol aimed towards the Erus.
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon walks in, wearing a yakata of sorts, her hair in chopsticks. She steps on the Erusian
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, come on down. We'll explain everything then.
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* She clicks off.
15[21:16] * 13@Theron turns back to the door, evaluating it's durability.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I apologize for the delay in my tracking systems. I tried to follow after I saw our hostess was kidnapped.
[21:16] <13SPoC> 6Loki turns to eye Lemon. 1"Well well well, two of you? 6He runs his hand through his hair.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't get ideas, Loki.
[21:16] <13SPoC> <Loki> But a threesome is always a good idea.
15[21:16] * 13@Theron goes rigid and peers over his shoulder towards Lemon. 1What happened to Myria?
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> A Erusian teleported with her. My systems indicate it was likely to the middle ship.
15[21:17] * 13@Theron narrows his eyes. 1Goddammnit. 6He mouths, looking back to the door, slamming his fist on it.
[21:17] <13SPoC> <Loki> I hope you guys didn't plan on blowing this ships out of the air.
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Great. More complicated.
[21:18] <13Kit> <Chii> I could always go get Myria.
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets wait for Paladin, and then decide how to approach this. Agreed?
15[21:18] * 13@Theron rubs his hands to his face, moving towards the entrance, shifting slightly out of it so he can peer up into the sky.
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves and takes Ben and holds onto him
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin and SPoC, along with someone called Jen, have been brought up to speed. So far things have been quiet - no one in the base has come to stop them, probably thinking the sealed doors are enough
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Do you think there's truth in Zerith's words?
15[21:20] * 13@Theron has barely kept himself still, shaking his head quickly. 1No it is nonsense.
[21:20] <13SPoC> <Loki> Sounds preposterous. Immortality is a myth.
15[21:20] * 13@Jennifer` stands with her arms crossed, listening quietly.
15[21:21] * 13SPoC checks the clip in her gun.
[21:21] <13Kit> <Chii> Eh...
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What matters is if the Myhr believe it or not.
[21:21] <13Kit> <Chii> I don't know about that.
[21:21] <13@Theron> <Theron> Indeed. It is why I need to get my voice out.
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Even if you do, I doubt people are going to really listen.
[21:22] <13Kit> <Chii> There are beings like inugami and other abberations. I don't know how that applies to blue people, though.
[21:22] <13SPoC> <Loki> Why would they believe that the caste of people who bossed them around for years would make them immortal.
09[21:22] <13@Jennifer`> "Exactly for that reason."
[21:23] <13Kit> <Chii> They don't. They believe taking something from their bosses will.
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> How can we stop Zerith then?
[21:23] <13SPoC> <Loki> Blowing them up out of the sky is a bad idea, just my thought there.
[21:23] <13@Theron> <Theron> Hmmm. We need to find this information and destroy it. If it is possible.
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* A transmission begins to start up in the background. A spokesperson appears.
15[21:24] * 13@Theron shifts to peer at the transmission.
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> <Myhr> We have had our scientists go over the reports sent to us. It would appear that the data sent is accurate - this is not a hoax. However, we do not want the Yloi to fear for their lives. You will not be harmed - we also ask that Erusian does not attack Erusian. The government is currently figuring out how to handle this delicate situation.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* The transmission ends.
15[21:25] * 13@Theron frowns, hanging his head slightly.
09[21:25] <13@Jennifer`> "You will not be harmed? That's supposed to work?"
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, either they're lying, or it's true. Either way, this is going to end bad.
[21:26] <13SPoC> <Loki> Such civility. If only their Civil War was this peaceful.
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* News reports are going out about Yloi being asked to come to the military barracks for protection, asking that they come immediately.
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> They're rounding them up. My God. Are they really going to kill the Yloi? 6* He looks at Theron
[21:26] <13Kit> <Chii> Hmm.
[21:26] <13@Theron> <Theron> I fear so.
[21:27] <13SPoC> It is most likely right now.
09[21:27] <13@Jennifer`> "We stop this, right?"
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, we're about to have a crisis on ground, but what are we going to do about Zerith and Myria?
[21:27] <13Kit> <Chii> I'll go get her. It's up my alley.
[21:28] <13@Theron> <Theron> No, you will not. I will.
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Face it, Theron. You won't get near her without a huge dragoon gear helping you
15[21:28] * 13@Jennifer` grins at Theron, she seems to approve of the knight saving the damsel routine.
[21:28] <13Kit> <Chii> The guys on the ships I don't have to have mercy on. And breaking in silently and blazing out is what I've always done before I met you guys.
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> I would like to go talk to the Myhr where the Yloi are gathering, but since I'm not an Erusian, I think there's little sense I can talk into them.
[21:28] <13@Theron> Hmph. I do not believe that Paladin and Loki will be able to defuse this situation on ground. They may need some muscle.
[21:29] <13Kit> <Chii> So help them out, bigshot.
15[21:29] * 13@Theron narrows his eyes at Chii.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And face it, Chii, I'm not letting you go without me. 6* She grabs her ear.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon holds Ben, watching them
[21:29] <13Kit> <Chii> That's fine. I don't have a ride, otherwise.
[21:30] <13Kit> 6Chii eyes Theron. 1"You're Myhr, we're not. We're just a bunch of buzzing aliens in the wrong place."
14[21:30] * SPoC (chesterbot@c-76-17-177-230.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I get that Theron want to save Myria, considerin what Zerith may do, but we're not going to get your government not to kill Yloi. What would Myria want more?
[21:30] <13@Theron> I can not let him kill her as well. I cannot.
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then leave it to us.
15[21:30] * 13@Theron eyes her, his teeth clenching.
[21:31] <13Kit> <Chii> Hey man, just 'cause I nailed you with a grenade in the past...
03[21:31] * SPoC (chesterbot@c-76-17-177-230.hsd1.mn.comcast.net) has joined #taw
[21:31] <13Kit> <Chii> In any case, Myria means a lot to you, right? Cherry and I can relate.
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Okay, this is what we should do. Theron, if you agree, you should talk to your people. Cheryl and Chii will attack the ship. SPoC and I will try to get into the bunker to get the gun ready to destroy the ships.
15[21:32] * 13@Theron curses under his breath and then nods. 1Very well.
[21:32] <13Kit> 6Chii cracks her knuckles. 1"And for fucking up our vacation I'm going to teach that guy a thing or two about what a couple of pissed off lovers can do about his plans."
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> What will my function be?
[21:32] <13SPoC> 6Loki watches them curiously.
09[21:32] <13@Jennifer`> "Yeah... what should we do?"
[21:33] <13Kit> <Chii> Your first priority is Ben, Lem.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Understood. Should I hide with him, or remain with the Erusian?
[21:33] <13Kit> 6Chii rubs her neck. 1"Stay out of trouble but near Theron. Never know when a swiss army maid might come in handy."
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Jennifer, you'll remain with Theron for now.
09[21:34] <13@Jennifer`> "Alright sir."
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. Well, lets do this.
15[21:34] * 13@Theron peers at the fact he has turned into babysitter and then turns, moving for the exit.
[21:34] <13SPoC> 6Loki eyes his watch than the Cheryl and Chii.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon carries Ben after Theron.
[21:34] <13Kit> 6Chii eyes Cherry, then their outfits. 1"Alright. Quick stop to Myria's."
15[21:34] * 13@Jennifer` follows after Lemon and Ben.
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What? Afraid to kick ass in this?
[21:35] <13Kit> <Chii> No way. I'm totally keeping my vacationwear on-- But I want my blades and explosives.
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. Let's go
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> Location: Tsivrixsh Ship
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zerith sits in his chair, Myria tied to a table behind him; he's done with her for now, though she's not dead yet.
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> <Zerith> The news is out - soon the Myhr will devour the Yloi, and a new age will begin.
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* He begins to laugh now, almost insanely.
[21:37] <13@Myria> That looks worse than the old age...
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* He peers back at Myria now. "I look forward to Theron coming for you. To see you in your pitiful state. And then I'll kill you in front of him. It's a pity. I enjoyed my time with you immensely.
[21:38] <13@Myria> ...monster!
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* He grins manically. "Ah, I am a visionary, my dear. A harbinger of change."
[21:39] <13@Myria> You suffer from delusions of grandeur along with psychosis!
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <Zerith> Hmph. That's what they all say. 6* He rises, approaching her. "We'll see what you have to say after I deal with that smart little Yloi mouth of yours."
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> Stadate: 10-590.4.4
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> Location: House of Robo Mama
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs a bit as she sits at her table. "You need to get Dias to calm down with his antics."
[21:41] <13@Theron> <Marcus> Seriously? What'd he do?
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* She peers at Marcus. "He put a hole in a roof the other day for starters."
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> *in our
[21:42] <13SPoC> 6Dias stands in the backyard, waving his hand a truck backs up into it
[21:42] <13@Theron> <Marcus> He did what? 6He frowns, standin up, moving towards the backyard.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy sits in Freyja's room, playing with the orb of demonic fox power
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> This is what happens when you go away for a few days. The antic is probably soake from the rain last night.
[21:43] <13@Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *runs outside* What the hell?!
[21:43] <13Kit> <Freyja> ...What are you doing, Billy?
[21:43] <13SPoC> <Dias> WOH WOH WOH! That's perfect. 6He gives the truckdriver a thumbs up and moves over to it, opening hte bakc up and climbing inside
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy peers up, hides the orb behind her. "Doing what?"
[21:44] <13@Theron> 6* Marcus peers out a window to see what Dias is doing, glancing towards Kat. 1Yeah. I'll talk to him. And get him to fix the attic.
[21:44] <13Kit> <Freyja> I purified that, so you better not be tinkering with it..
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Tinkering with what? 6* She shows her hands, no orb present
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* X steps out of a ripple to eye Dias and the truck
[21:45] <13SPoC> 6Dias hops off the truck and grabs the ramp, sliding it out and setting it on the ground. 1"Hey X!"
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> <X> What are you doing now?
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods once, then goes to their bedroom to erlax.
[21:46] <13SPoC> <Dias> It dawned on me that our new home was missing something.
[21:46] <13@Theron> 6* Marcus shifts to walk out the back door, moving through their yard towards Dias.
[21:47] <13SPoC> <Dias> A place for me to train. So I'm buidling us one. 6He climbs back up and moves inside
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... What?
[21:48] <13@Theron> <Marcus> DIAS! 6He calls out.
[21:48] <13SPoC> 6Dias rides a crate down and looks over at Marcus. 1"What's up buddy?"
03[21:48] * Myria is now known as Cassandra`
[21:48] <13Kit> <Freyja> The orb, Billy.. I'm weak, not stupid..
[21:48] <13@Theron> <Marcus> Dude, did you knock a hole in my fucking roof?
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> No orb here. Fufufu. 6* She moves to walk out
15[21:49] * 13@Cassandra` approaches Dias and marcus, not looking happy herself.
[21:49] <13SPoC> <Dias> I can explain it. Total accident. Already have a crew coming in to fix it.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> <X> He jumped onto your house
[21:49] <13SPoC> <Dias> It was awesome.
[21:49] <13@Theron> <Marcus> Well since it rained so they'd better be able to fix any water damage in the attic.
[21:50] <13SPoC> 6Dias moves behind the crate and starts sliding it across the ground. 1"Consider it done Marcus. Anything else you'd want done to the attic while they're there?"
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cassandra's datapad beeps - offical military business!
[21:50] <13@Theron> <Marcus> Nah. Just make sure it's fixed or Kat's going to kick my ass. Oh, try to keep the house from being damaged anymore.
[21:50] <13Kit> 6Freyja sighs and follows her. 1"What'd you do with it?"
[21:51] <13@Cassandra`> ...damn it. *pulls up her datapad and checks the message*
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> You don't have need for it. So I'm using it
[21:51] <13SPoC> <Dias> It was a weak roof anyways. I just saved you the trouble down the road. 6He moves back up the ramp and inside the truck.
[21:51] <13Kit> <Freyja> Wh-What!?
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's information about suspicious V.I. activity in the South American continent - the amazon
[21:52] <13@Theron> <Marcus> Regardless, try to keep the house from being broke down.
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* No detailed report, but sources believe V.I. is looking for something in the amazon.
[21:52] <13SPoC> 6Several bags come flying out landing beside the crate. 1"No promises."
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy sits on the couch now, zoning out
[21:53] <13@Theron> <Marcus> Seriously man. All jokes aside this time. It makes Kat unhappy and then that hurts me, right? Just do it for me.
15[21:53] * 13@Cassandra` then buzzes the others, at least those with comms on them.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes her comm buzzing in her hand, then looks at Cassandra, since she's there
[21:53] <13SPoC> 6Dias rides another crate down. 1"Of course man. So you wanna help me install a hot tub later?
[21:54] <13@Cassandra`> Dias, living room now. We got a mission. *heads for the hhouse*
[21:54] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel idly checks the message, then closes her school books, and slowly heads down stairs.
[21:54] <13@Theron> <Marcus> Yeah sure. As long as I get to use it.
[21:54] <13SPoC> <Dias> Right...6He leans around the truck as he slides the ramp away and gives the truckdriver a thumbs up who takes off. 1"Duty calls."
[21:55] <13SPoC> <Dias> Totally.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* X steps through a ripple into the living room.
[21:55] <13@Theron> 6* Marcus throws up a hand, turning to move for his house.
[21:55] <13SPoC> 6Dias moves towards the house now.
[21:55] <13Kit> 6Freyja blinks at X, then shakes Billy. 1"H-Hey! Wh-Why would you need it..!?"
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Mmmm. 6* She doesn't respond.
15[21:56] * 13@Cassandra` steps into the living room and waits for everyone to assemble.
[21:56] <13SPoC> 6Dias steps inside the house and moves into the living room, plopping down beside Billy. 1"Billy."
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy mmms again
[21:57] <13SPoC> <Dias> Mmm if you think I'm cool.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <X> What is our mission?
[21:57] <13@Cassandra`> We have reports of VI activity in the Amazon.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy is silent
[21:57] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "In... the amazon?"
[21:57] <13SPoC> <Dias> Damn...What's the amazon?
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> <X> It is the home of warrior women
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* X shows a comic
[21:58] <13SPoC> 6Dias looks at X and the comic than nods. 1"Gotcha. Let's go there than."
[21:59] <13@Cassandra`> Yes.
[21:59] <13@Cassandra`> And forget the comic books.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* The datapad beeps again with last coordinates, and details of the route the crew seems to be taking - they're using high powered technology, so tracking them should be simple
15[22:00] * 13@Cassandra` throws the data on to the video screen in the living room.
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> <X> I'm ready. Let's go.
[22:01] <13SPoC> 6Dias stands. 1"Same here. Let's get cracking."
[22:02] <13Kit> <Freyja> ... Billy.
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* X steps into a ripple, vanishing. She comes back in her tactical suit
[22:02] <13@Cassandra`> This is what we have. Be prepared for anything. VI isn't stupid, so they must know they gear is easy to track.
[22:02] <13Kit> 6Lilith meanders through the ripple in a robe, rubbing her eyes. 1"Everyone is active."
[22:02] <13@Cassandra`> Nice of you to join us.
[22:02] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel goes to get her things, then rejoins the others
[22:03] <13SPoC> <Dias> I like your eagerness. 6He nods to X approvingly
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Another datapad beep - it seems Xanatos has been kidnapped, too. He's not a high priority to rescue, but a side objective to stopping V.I.
[22:03] <13Kit> <Lilith> What is going on?
[22:04] <13@Cassandra`> Lovely...Xanatos has been kidnapped too.
[22:04] <13@Cassandra`> Lilith, we have VI on the move in the amazon rain forest.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> <X> Who is Xanatos?
[22:04] <13Kit> <Lilith> ...Oh. Allow me to change.
[22:04] <13Kit> 6Lilith moves back upstairs.
[22:05] <13SPoC> <Dias> Long story. But we should save him anyways
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> <X> I see.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> Location: Shuttle over Amazon
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers down at the thick jungle. Somewhere in this area, V.I. can be detected, but the signal is distorted inside the thick jungle for some reason. And it's impossible to see the ground with the trees
[22:07] <13@Cassandra`> We're nearing the last reported coordinates.
[22:07] <13SPoC> <Dias> So we just gonna jump down and hope for the best?
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> <X> You enjoy jumping
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* X muses
[22:08] <13SPoC> <Dias> I'm pretty damn good at it.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* There doesn't appear to be any place for Dias to land the shuttle, either, unless he crashes on top of a tree.
[22:08] <13SPoC> <Dias> ...I'm thinking we're gonna have to jump
[22:08] <13Kit> <Lilith> Ripple.
[22:09] <13@Cassandra`> Our options are limited.
[22:09] <13SPoC> <Dias> An entire shuttle?
[22:09] <13Kit> 6Lilith gestures to Raquel and X.
[22:09] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...I don't see any place to put the shuttle..."
[22:09] <13Kit> <Lilith> Us, not the shuttle. Set the shuttle elsewhere.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> <X> The shuttle is useless. We should just ditch it
[22:09] <13SPoC> <Dias> Ahh screw it. 6He brings the shuttle down to land it ontop of some trees.
[22:10] <13@Cassandra`> Dias!
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* X grips her seat.
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle smashes into the thick tree tops, the sound of metal and tree impacting in terrible noises, and the trees groaning from the weight. The shuttle engines seem to heat the leaves and they catch on fire.
[22:11] <13SPoC> <Dias> Yep, I'll becareful...6He begins to power the shuttle down
[22:11] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel cringes
[22:11] <13@Cassandra`> ...not what I had in mind...
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* The fire spreads about the shuttle
[22:12] <13Kit> <Lilith> The fox would be handy now.
[22:12] <13SPoC> <Dias> For?
[22:12] <13Kit> <Lilith> Water.
[22:12] <13SPoC> <Dias> Why would we need wateR?
[22:12] <13Kit> 6Lilith eyes the fire impassively.
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* X thinks, then ripples the tree away so the fire doesn't spread. The shuttle plummets down onto the trunk part that was left with a terrible bang
[22:13] <13SPoC> <Dias> ...Now that's what I call a good landing.
[22:14] <13@Cassandra`> And this is why you never crash a shuttle with live plasma drives into a jungle. Ok, troops, we need to move out. VI is sure to have noticed that one.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <X> The fire was nothing.
[22:14] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel unbuckles, and quickly ripples herself out of the shuttle of death.
[22:14] <13SPoC> <Dias> It's alright. I'm sure they already know we're here. 6He lowers the ramp. 1"Next times I'll remember to put the shields up.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Raquel would come face to face with a monkey. It stares at her
15[22:15] * 13@Cassandra` climbs out of the shuttle.
[22:15] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel waves timidly to the monkey.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* X moves out as well. The monkey leaps at Raqel
[22:15] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel ducks
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* It collides into Dias
[22:16] <13SPoC> 6Dias stares down at the monkey. 1"Hey lil' man."
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> <X> Hm. I see the resemblence.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Cassandra. "How do we find them now?"
[22:17] <13SPoC> <Dias> He's kinda cute. 6He steps out of the shuttle.
15[22:17] * 13@Cassandra` checks her sensors for the VI power emissions.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* The sensors are still whacky from the jungle
[22:18] <13@Cassandra`> We're going to have to guesstimate.
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> <X> ...
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> Location: Houses
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* As Marcus moves about, he'd find Katrina at the table. She's wearing different clothing as well. She smiles at him. "Hello, dear.":
[22:19] <13@Theron> 6* Marcus slows to a stop, arching a brow. 1Hello.
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina wiggles a finger. "Come sit by me."
[22:20] <13@Theron> 6* Marcus slowly moves over and sits down. 1What's up?
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, nothing. Just wanted to say hi. 6* She leans in a bit closer now, sliding her chair near his
[22:21] <13@Theron> <Marcus> Uh Hi. 6He eyes her oddly. 1You ok? You're acting strangre.
[22:21] <13@Theron> NRP: Strange*
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh? Silly. Fufufu. 6* She laughs with amusement. "Are you saying you don't like how I'm acting?"
[22:22] <13@Theron> Fu...Fu? 6Marcus sighs. 1Seriously Billy?
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Pardon me?
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes him now, leaning back a bit
[22:23] <13@Theron> <Marcus> Kat doesn't fu fu. Not the entire time i've been with her have I heard it.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Last time I checked, BIlly only took the guises of dead people. 6* She points out
[22:24] <13@Theron> <Marcus> Alright, alright. I'll tell you a joke that Kat loves. Why didn't the skeleton go to the dance?
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans back now, eyeing him more now. "Are you serious?"
[22:25] <13@Theron> <Marcus> Hey, Billy's good. Dead people or not, you've got to be careful around her.
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts a hand to her face. "I have no idea the answer to that."
[22:26] <13@Theron> <Marcus> You really can't. So test. Billy wouldn't know much about my homelife, so what's my sisters name?
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina rises. "Well, if you don't believe I'm really Katrina, then that's on you. I'm not going to sit here and be interrogated."
[22:27] <13@Theron> <Marcus> Oh come'on, there's no reason to get mad.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I think it's perfectly reasonable to get mad if my own fiancee thinks I'm not really his girl.
[22:29] <13@Theron> <Marcus> Well excuse me if you laughed like Billy. I don't trust Billy, she loves to cause misery, and you laughing like her, yeah that sent a red flag up on the play. Don't want to have this problem? Don't laugh like her.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes him now. "Fine." 6* She moves to go up the stairs.
[22:30] <13Kit> 6Freyja snatches Katrina by the ear as she reaches the stairs. 1"Very funny."
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina makes a face, turning to eye Freyja slowly. "What are you doing over here...?"
[22:30] <13@Theron> 6* Marcus shifts to eye them both, hoping it's Billy now. For Freyja's saje.
[22:31] <13Kit> <Freyja> Observing what you'd do with a kitsune's whim.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina grabs Freyja's ear now. "Lets take this outside." 6* She pulls on her toward the door, wincing at her own ear being tugged
[22:31] <13Kit> 6Freyja makes her own face, going with
[22:32] <13@Theron> 6* Marcus shakes his head and moves to go up the stairs, heading towards his room.
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy steps outside, in her normal guise, then lets go. She shadowports 5 feet away to free herself. Her expression unreadable.
[22:34] <13Kit> <Freyja> ...What's the deal?
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy dusts herself off calmly, then moves back for their own house. "No deal."
[22:34] <13@Theron> 6* Marcus steps into his room now, letting out a sigh.
[22:34] <13Kit> 6Freyja follows her with a puzzled expression
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> Location: Amazon
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks annoyed, feeling hot and tired as they move about the jungle.
[22:35] <13SPoC> 6Dias let's the monkey sit on his shoulder as he walks beside X. 1"I wonder if Biggles here can swing from vines.
[22:36] <13@Cassandra`> You named him Biggles?
[22:37] <13SPoC> <Dias> Yep, Biggles.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> <X> ......
[22:38] <13SPoC> 6Dias hops over a downed tree, sniffing the air as he walks forward.
[22:39] <13@Cassandra`> Anything? The jungle interferes with my sensor suite.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* The tree branches rustle up ahead
[22:39] <13SPoC> 6Dias holds his hand up for them to stop.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* X stops, eyeing Dias
[22:40] <13SPoC> 6Dias hands Biggles to X and starts creeping ahead.
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* X doesn't take him
15[22:41] * 13@Cassandra` raises her assault rifle.
[22:41] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel holds the monkey in the air, so he doesn't get dropped.
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* The tree cracks and a large golem like thing falls down. It has black lines in it.
[22:42] <13SPoC> 6Dias peers up at it. 1"This...this is different."
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* The golem rears back, glowing, then it begins to advance
[22:42] <13@Cassandra`> Heads up, people...assume its hostile.
[22:43] <13Kit> <Lilith> ...What is that..?
[22:43] <13SPoC> <Dias> Rock creature. 6He leaps onto a tree and starts climbing up it
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* It swings it's fist into the tree, breaking it in two
[22:44] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel backs up, setting down the monkey.
[22:44] <13SPoC> 6Dias kicks off the tree as it falls, landing in a sliding crouch.
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* The golem shudders a bit afterward, slumping for 5 seconds, then rises straight again
[22:44] <13SPoC> <Dias> That the best you got? 6He waves the golem on.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* The golem walks forward again, it's steps shakey and unstraight
[22:45] <13@Cassandra`> Lots of strength, fairly slow. *runs her sensors over it*
[22:45] <13SPoC> 6Dias kicks off, dashing in towards it.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* It seems to have dark techology in it
[22:45] <13Kit> 6Lilith tilts her head, then raises a hand and snaps her fingers. Setting off EMP near it.
[22:45] <13@Cassandra`> Ok, we have a prob here. Dark One tech.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* The golem shudders and slumps again
[22:46] <13SPoC> 6Dias leaps at it while it slumps and kicks for it's head.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* It's like kicking a stone wall. The golem tilts backwards
[22:46] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel attempts to open a ripple in the middle of it, and then close it after it starts to move backwards.
[22:46] <13SPoC> 6Dias lands on his good foot, hopping in pain. !"ow ow ow ow.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* It's top half is sliced off and hits the ground
[22:47] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel gives Dias a thumbs up
[22:47] <13@Cassandra`> Make sure it stays down.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* The top half pushes itself up with it's arms.
[22:47] <13SPoC> 6Dias thumbs up back and shakes his foot.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* X stares at it, quiet.
[22:47] <13@Cassandra`> Heads up! Its still moving!
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* It then shudders and collapses
[22:48] <13SPoC> <Dias> Seems like whatever it is, it's not the brightest or the stongest thing.
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Nearby, voices can be heard faintly by those with attuned ears.
[22:49] <13@Cassandra`> *whisper* Quiet down...
[22:49] <13Kit> <Lilith> ...
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* X is drawn out of her thoughts, glancing over
[22:49] <13Kit> 6Lilith moves over to listen to the voices with dog ears.
[22:49] <13SPoC> 6Dias hmpfs, crossing his arms as he looks at them
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* They're hard to make out - you'll need to get in sight of the people
[22:50] <13SPoC> 6Dias eyes the way lilith's looking and starts moving that way quietly.
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* X ripples in closer.
15[22:50] * 13@Cassandra` proceeds forward, letting Lilith take point.
[22:50] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel takes up the rear, because she's not as sneaky as some of the others
[22:50] <13Kit> 6Lilith accompanies X, taking the lazy way.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* V.I. people with lots of guns are standing around Xanatos. He seems drugged, and an IV is in his arm. "Focus on that damn plant power of yours." 6* They order. Before them is a large, strange tree.
[22:51] <13SPoC> 6Dias glances at them and quickly starts climbing up a tree.
[22:52] <13@Theron> 6* Xanatos shakes his head slowly, slurring something about trying.
15[22:52] * 13@Cassandra` gestures to indicate that they should take up posiitions and prepare to take VI's troops out.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> <V.I.> Are you sure the boss is right that this clone even has the imprint of it?
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other guard shrugs. One moves Xanatos closer to the tree, making him place a hand onto it. "Focus on making it wake up."
[22:52] <13SPoC> 6Dias moves along a branch, bringing himself as close as over to the group as possible
[22:53] <13Kit> <Lilith> ..What is special about the tree..? Seen it before..? ...Hm..
[22:53] <13@Theron> 6* Xanatos mumbles, but being drugged, he tries.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* The tree glows a bit. One of the scientists moves over to take readings.
15[22:54] * 13@Cassandra` pulls up a sniper rifle and gets ready.
[22:54] <13SPoC> 6Dias eyes the tree glowing, then leaps off the tree, dropping down to land ontop of a VI soldier.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* The V.I. soldier hrmphs as he falls. Another peers, then touches the awakened tree. Suddenly, it glows brightly, and a beam flies out through Dias' chest, puncturing a hole in him
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> <X> Dias!!
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> <V.I.> They're here. Take all measures to eliminate them.
[22:55] <13SPoC> 6Dias' eyes go wide as he takes several steps back, his hand moving to the hole in his chest. 1"The...hell?"
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other V.I. soldiers move to take positions. The trees in the jungle begin to move, and vines fly out at the others. One grabs Cassandra's gun
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Blood oozes from Dias' wound
[22:56] <13SPoC> 6Dias takes several breathes as he tries to focus on healing his wound
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Nothing seems to happen, and he slips into unconsciousness.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* X is grabbed by a vine. She strains
[22:57] <13@Cassandra`> Engage the enemy! *pulls out another gun and fires at the soldier touching the tree*
[22:57] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel kneels by Dias, trying to bandage his wound.
[22:57] <13SPoC> 6Dias falls over, as he passes out
[22:57] <13@Theron> 6* Xanatos seems unaware of what's going on around him.
[22:57] <13Kit> 6Lilith reaches into her chest, pulling out her lance, springing for the vine grabbing X and swinging.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Raquel is snatched by vines and flung away
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cassandra's blast hits a shield. <Soldier> Yes. The power of this tree is like we thought. No wonder the natives protected it so. Father Tree indeed.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* As Lilith goes to pull the lance out, vines wrap around her arms.
[22:58] <13Kit> <Lilith> ...?" 6She struggles.
[22:58] <13Kit> <Lilith> Yggdrassil?
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* More beams of light form around the tree, just like the one that struck Dias. There seems to be the same amount for one to hit each of them.
