[20:02] <13@DeathStar> -0-
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.4.21
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> Location: HQ
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits by Dias' bed, dressed in her tactical suit, as the unconscious Weapon finally begins to awaken
[20:03] <13Dias`> 6Dias slowly opens his eyes, groaning slightly.
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're alive. Good. We got a mission
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* X is in the hanger, overlooking a new shuttle that has been brought in at the last moment after the battle.
[20:04] <13Dias`> <Dias> Let me see...6He shifts to try and get up
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Despite pain, Dias body would be able to sit up
[20:04] <13Dias`> 6Dias lets out of a huff. 1"Yeah...I can still move."
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Good. I owe you one. Thanks. 6* She stands up and begins to step out. "We're leaving in ten minutes."
[20:05] <13Dias`> <Dias> Eh...Don't worry about it, Cheryl. 6He swings his legs over the bed and stands up.
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts like Warren and exits the medical bay, heading for the hanger. She reaches up and begins to tie her hair in a ponytail
[20:06] <13Dias`> 6SPoC steps out of the armory, in tact suit and armed. She makes her way to the hanger
[20:06] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...Dumbass okay?
15[20:06] * 13@Jennifer` stands in the hangar waiting, watching X quietly.
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
[20:06] <13@Kit> 6Lilith stands silently behind Jennifer, reaching up as if about to strike Jennifer down.
[20:06] <13Dias`> 6Dias shifts his body slightly and he moves to gather his stuff.
15[20:07] * 13@Jennifer` points her finger over her shoulder. "You loom too much."
[20:07] <13@Kit> 6Lilith plops a riceball onto the finger.
[20:07] <13@Kit> 6Lilith moves over to X, offering her one.
[20:07] <13Dias`> 6Dias grabs the tattered and burned headband and ties it around his head and he starts getting dressed quickly
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* X blinks, peering at the riceball, then takes it slowly.
15[20:07] * 13@Jennifer` giggles and moves the finger to her front and starts munching.
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl enters the hanger after a moment of walking. She moves toward the shuttle
[20:08] <13Dias`> 6Dias finishes getting dressed and starts moving towards the hangern ow
[20:08] <13Dias`> 6SPoC steps into the hanger and begins moving towards the shuttle
15[20:09] * 13@Jennifer` moves towards the shuttle with her rice ball. "Hey Cheryl, can I come?"
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
15[20:10] * 13@Jennifer` takes a bite out of the rice ball. "Alright then."
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves up the ramp of the shuttle. X eats on her rice ball as she follows up
[20:10] <13Dias`> 6Dias steps into the hanger, he rubs the back of his neck, wincing slightly
[20:10] <13Dias`> <SPoC> You will be safer here. 6She looks at Jen
15[20:10] * 13@Jennifer` looks over at Natalie, a worried look considering her recent injuries. "You're right... be careful okay?"
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes the co-pilot seat, floicking switches to get the shuttle online for Dias
[20:11] <13Dias`> <SPoC> I will be. 6She nods to Jen and moves onto the shuttle
09[20:11] <13@Jennifer`> "Good luck guys!" *she calls out and steps away from the shuttle*
[20:12] <13Dias`> 6Dias makes his way onto the shuttle and moves to the pilots seat. 1"Sweet, just the way I like it."
[20:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* X takes a seat now
[20:13] <13@Kit> 6Lilith follows X as Chii slides onto the shuttle, now dressed in her gear and weapons, though in the child form battle costume.
[20:13] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...So... what were we doing again?
[20:14] <13Dias`> 6Dias slowly looks back at Chii than shakes his head, grabbing the controls and lifting the shuttle up slightly off the ground.
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Kill clones. Get Raquel and Marcus back. Maybe Kat.
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl enters the coordinates for Dias. "We're going to the North American continent."
[20:15] <13Dias`> <Dias> Follow the yellow line. Got it. 6He shuts the ramp and takes the shuttle out of the hanger and towards the coordinates
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl closes her eyes now, hand running up and down her leg, like she can't stay still
[20:18] <13Dias`> <Dias> They'll be plenty of things for you to punch, Cheryl.
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Goody.
[20:18] <13Dias`> <Dias> How long was I out for?
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* They fly over the ocean. Suddenly, a golem leaps from the ocean waves, as if having been waiting days for this opportunity for revenge.
[20:19] <13Dias`> 6Dias jerks the shuttle to the side to try and avoid it.
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* The golem leaps up, then falls back to the ocean unsuccessfully
[20:19] <13Dias`> <Dias> How the hell is that thing still alive?!
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Probably because it hates you
[20:21] <13Dias`> <Dias> ...Huh. Imagine that.
[20:22] <13Dias`> <Dias> Who would've thought they could think enough to care.
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* They begin to fly over land once again after a bit
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You have that way with people.
[20:22] <13Dias`> <Dias> You really thinks so? 6He looks at Cheryl, smiling slightly.
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I know so
[20:23] <13Dias`> <Dias> I always knew you cared. 6He shifts his right hand around, stretching it.
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* As they begin to get to the area, they can see a Mid-Western Village that looks deserted
[20:24] <13Dias`> <Dias> This it?
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Seems that way.
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No attacks, so they must not be expecting us
[20:24] <13Dias`> <Dias> Than we should land on the oustide huh? 6He keeps the shuttle low
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hrms. "If they have any sort of detection system, they probably know we're here. I say we just land in the middle of it. It's faster."
[20:26] <13Dias`> <Dias> Oh now that's a plan I can work with. Everyone get ready, we're going in hot.
[20:26] <13Dias`> 6SPoC flicks the safety off her gun.
[20:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* X blinks. "I hope that is a metaphor."
[20:27] <13Dias`> <Dias> Hopefully it is. 6He shifts the shuttle slightly as he heads for for the village
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grips her seat just case they crash
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* A water tower opens up and a gun leans out, firing at the shuttle
15[20:28] * 13Dias` pulls the shuttle to the side to avoid, still keeping low
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* A house opens up and a shuttle flies up into the air and at them.
[20:29] <13Dias`> Cheryl, make 'em crash.
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> <Shuttle Comm> We have your General Arakawa in this shuttle. If you fire on us, you will kill your friends. 6* Cheryl pauses, squinting
[20:30] <13Dias`> <Dias> ...Anyway to prove it? 6He looks at Cheryl
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* X pauses, then opens a ripple, sticking her hand through and hits the fire button, firing their missiles at the cockpit of the shuttle
[20:30] <13@Kit> <Lilith> M-Mistress!?
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> <X> She shot me!
[20:30] <13Dias`> 6Dias jerks back to look at X. 1"X!"
[20:31] <13@Kit> <Lilith> Grudges are unbecoming..
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle is hit in the cockpit and a minor explosion sends it plummeting down toward the house
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> <X> No more grudge now.
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts a hand to her face
[20:31] <13Dias`> 6Dias shakes his head, not hiding the fact he's not happy about that.
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* The water tower continues to fire at them
[20:32] <13Dias`> 6Dias swings the shuttle around to loop around the water tower.
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl targets the water tower, her teeth ground together. She fires blasters at it
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's a long puase, then another platform rises, with what appears to be a large type of Beta
[20:33] <13@Kit> <Chii> Cherry is that..!?
[20:33] <13Dias`> <Dias> Holy shit. 6He brings the shuttle around.
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl squints, peering away as the tower is hit, to eye it. "Looks like a modified Beta."
[20:34] <13Dias`> <Dias> Apparently they've got their hands in a lot of things. 6He reaches over to scan the downed shuttle for Cass' life signs
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's no life signs
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> <X> General Arakawa was not on the shuttle. If you are worried.
[20:36] <13@Ariel> 6* The beta takes to the air, aiming a railgun nearly as large as it is in the direction of the shuttle, and firing.
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Shit. Dias. Incoming
[20:36] <13Dias`> 6Dias lets out a sigh of relief. 1"...Oh crap." 6He rolls the shuttle to the side
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* The side of the shuttle is scorched, leaving a gaping hole.
[20:37] <13Dias`> <Dias> I got an idea....X, the next time that thing fires at me, form a Ripple and sent it right for it's head.
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> <X> I don't know if I can redirect it all
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers as more platforms begin to rise with troops. "Look, if we don't get on ground now and under that village, we're going to be outgunned."
[20:39] <13Dias`> Can you redirect enough to keep us from taking a hit?
[20:39] <13@Ariel> 6* The Beta opens missile hatches along the shoulders, launching a small swarm of missiles at the shuttle.
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> <X> No.
[20:39] <13Dias`> <Dias> Shit...6he brings the shuttle down and along, heading towards the troops.
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She aims with the blasts in the back, trying to hit what missiles she can. The troops aim, firing rockets at them
[20:40] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes the incoming missiles, waiting and then jerks the shuttle upwards.
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* As Dias jerks upward, some of the rockets hit the shuttle, causing it to shake. X bounces about. The explosions from the missiles do hit the ground, though, taking out some of the troops
[20:41] <13Dias`> 6SPoC grabs onto the seat tightly.
[20:41] <13Dias`> 6Dias tisks and brings them back down towards the village. 1"Find me a way in."
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl aims at one of them platforms that keep rising up, then fires missiles
[20:43] <13@Ariel> 6* The beta aims it's cannon again, carefully lining up a shot.
[20:43] <13Dias`> <Dias> X...I need some cover. 6He starts heading for the platform, clearly waiting for the missiles to impact
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> <X> I'll try
[20:43] <13Dias`> <Dias> Do you're best.
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* The missiles slam into the platform, damaging it. Cheryl follows it up with her blasters
[20:44] <13@Ariel> 6* The beta fires the railcannon at the shuttle. The platform is a lost cause.
[20:45] <13@Kit> 6Lilith brings her hands up and forms a light barrier around a partial section of the rear of their shuttle, at least protecting the engines.
15[20:45] * 13Dias` hits the boosters to head in for the hole int he platform
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens up a few ripples to direct what she can
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle manages to get into the hole, what attack does get through shaking it roughly. The Beta would have two small beams redirected at it from behind
[20:47] <13Dias`> 6Dias quickly jerks back on the controls to slow the shuttle down.
[20:47] <13Dias`> 6SPoC slams forward into her seat
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* As they slam down, they can see a metal room on the bottom with a door. However, there's no time to slow with the boost. This will end bad
[20:48] <13@Ariel> 6* The Beta doesn't seem to mind the small beams much. It was still following at last sighting.
15[20:48] * 13Dias` quickly unbuckles himself and grabs Cheryl, throwing her towards the back of the shuttle
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is thrown back, and the front end smashes into the ground, crunching up . A ripple nabs Dias and drops him on top of Cheryl's boobs
[20:50] <13Dias`> 6Dias hits the love mounds and slowly rises, staring down at them.
[20:50] <13Dias`> <Dias> I like this shuttles airbag system.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl groans, then grabs the back of his neck, squeezing. "GET OFF."
[20:50] <13Dias`> 6Dias yelps loudly in pain.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Beta would no doubt reach the top area and be able to peer down the hole at the shuttle
[20:51] <13Dias`> 6SPoC slowly unbuckles herself.
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* X sits up, shifting to open the ramp doors for everyone
[20:51] <13@Ariel> 6* The Beta eyes the shuttle in frustration, and fires a rail shot at it. "TARGET..."
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
[20:52] <13@Kit> 6Lilith moves out the ramp by floating, she holds up her hand, concentrating all her barrier ability into a smaller semisphere just enough for the shot.
[20:52] <13Dias`> 6Dias gets up, and his eyes go wide at the booming voice. 1"We should move now." 6He moves out, grabbing X and pulling her with him
[20:52] <13Dias`> 6SPoC quickly moves out
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens a a blind ripple to the other side of the doorway. "In."
[20:52] <13Dias`> 6Dias jerks to a stop and eyes the ripple. 1"Nice."
[20:52] <13Dias`> 6SPoC moves through the ripple
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* The rail gun blast would slam into the barrier sphere, beginning to overpower it
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves in through the ripple as well
[20:53] <13Dias`> 6Dias grabs Chii by the neck and throws her through the ripple
[20:53] <13@Kit> 6Chii forms seals quickly, a bit longer than a double element, then holds her hand up. 1"Suiton, Hyoton, Futon... Deep Free-- Agh!"
[20:53] <13Dias`> Thanks for the save X. 6He smiles at her and leaps through the ripple
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* X takes Lilith's hand and moves through the ripple with her
[20:54] <13@Kit> <Lilith> Move... quicker... please.
[20:54] <13@Kit> 6Chii leaps upward slightly to get height and sends a kick for between Dias' legs when he makes it through.
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* The rail gun blast would then hit the shuttle, blowing up yet another one.
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* X closes the ripple before the explosion follows
[20:55] <13Dias`> 6Dias herks and falls right over and onto the floor
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias on the ground, then around. "We should move before they send people to see if we're dead." 6* There's only one way to go - ahead
[20:55] <13@Kit> <Chii> Moron! Don't throw me like a cheap plush!! I could have put your ass on ice!"
[20:56] <13Dias`> 6Dias mutters something, truely an epic slam, or him crying out in pain.
[20:56] <13@Kit> 6Chii huffs loudly, then turns and moves quickly ahead, scouring the hallway with glances.
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along after Chii. X leans over to stare at Dias
[20:57] <13@Kit> 6Lilith kneels beside Dias, peering at him, but seemingly just resting herself.
[20:57] <13Dias`> <Dias> she gone?
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes. So that area is your weakness. I'll remember that
[20:57] <13Dias`> 6Dias quickly stands up, shaking himself. 1"No, don't hit that place."
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> <X> I'll hit you where ever I want to
[20:58] <13@Kit> <Lilith> Mistress, if you insist on using such weaknesses, he may use your breasts against you. I have witnessed this in the past.
[20:58] <13Dias`> 6Dias makes a sad face then turns to move down after the others. SPoC moves behind Chii and Cheryl
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She eyes her breasts now
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* As Cheryl and Chii lead, they'd bump into a V.I. soldier, who's all alone. The masked trooper stumbles back
[20:58] <13@Kit> 6Lilith rises. 1"It is unfortunate, however, you must protect two to his one." 6She nods and begins to move on.
[20:59] <13Dias`> <Dias> No I wouldn't.
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* X follows. "Wouldn't it be easier to cut them off?"
[20:59] <13Dias`> <Dias> Dear god no.
[20:59] <13@Kit> <Lilith> Then you would be admitting your weakness is too great for you to overcome.
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> <X> Hm.
[21:00] <13Dias`> 6Dias lets out a sigh of relief.
[21:00] <13@Kit> 6Lilith peers back at X. 1"As I explained to Jennifer Carmichael. Natural beauty is a sign of strength and superiority."
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the soldier now, tensing
[21:00] <13@Kit> <Lilith> The weak lose it.
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> <X> So you consider yourself beautiful.
[21:00] <13@Kit> 6Lilith jerks.
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* The trooper holds up his hands, as if surrendering to them.
[21:00] <13Dias`> 6Dias turns and walks backwards, lookin at Lilith now. 1"Yeah Lilith, do you think your beautiful?
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the man, then waves her hand once. "Knock it off. Learn anything?"
[21:01] <13Dias`> 6SPoC trains her rifle than lowers it, tilting her head slightly
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> <V.I. Trooper> I think I found where they're holding everyone. Haven't seen any labs with clones, though
[21:01] <13@Kit> <Chii> Huh?
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* The trooper leans in closer to Chii. "Hey, Firey Chii. You look cute when you're a kid."
[21:02] <13@Kit> <Lilith> I-- ... ...I was very skilled. ...I am merely an inugami now." 6She reaches up and feels her hair. 1"...Short and... blue."
[21:02] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...Pervy John!?
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> <X> The one called John likes blue
[21:03] <13Dias`> <Dias> ahh modesty. 6He turns aroudn to the others. 1"That's where you went to."
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* The trooper pulls off his mask, giving a thumbs up to them
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I asked him to keep an eye on the place for us until we were ready to come
[21:03] <13@Kit> <Chii> How'd he get in without being noticed?
[21:03] <13Dias`> <Dias> He's that good.
[21:03] <13@Kit> 6Chii steams slightly. 1"I'm the ninja."
[21:04] <13Dias`> <Dias> Apparently he's better.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <John> You can ninja into my room any night.
[21:04] <13@Kit> 6Chii eyes Dias, then narrows her eyes at John-- status being threatened.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes John darkly.
[21:04] <13Dias`> <Dias> If you found the others, we should go for them now while we can.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <John> Anyway, this way. Hey, Lilith. 6* He waves at her, then moves onward.
[21:04] <13@Kit> 6Lilith jerks again, then holds a hand over her mouth, glancing away.
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head at John, following. X stares at Lilith.
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> <X> What's wrong?
[21:05] <13Dias`> <Dias> She likes him.
[21:05] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...Why are people interested in me? I am just a tool.
[21:05] <13@Kit> 6Lilith sighs in annoyance.
[21:05] <13Dias`> <Dias> I thought you were the X's sidekick.
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> <X> Do you want me not to be interested in you...?
[21:05] <13@Kit> 6Chii seethes besides Cheryl, eyeing John with malice.
[21:06] <13Dias`> 6SPoC follows behind Chii and Cheryl and John, her rifle at ready
[21:06] <13@Kit> <Lilith> You are not interested in my marriage or sexuality. It is not the same.
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* John holds up a hand to talk to Chii. "If it makes you feel better, I didn't sneak in here. I had sex with one of the female guards to get in."
[21:06] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...Even I wouldn't stoop that low.
[21:06] <13Dias`> <Dias> See? He's just that good Chii. 6He notes and moves after them.
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> <John> Then you're definitely a better ninja.
[21:07] <13@Kit> <Chii> Somehow I don't feel any better.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> <John> I could use my ninja skills on you, if you want
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twitches somewhat.
[21:08] <13@Kit> <Chii> It might be hazardous to your health. Cherry did make me into a succubus.
[21:08] <13Dias`> <Dias> John. 6He coughs, motioning to back off a weebit and nods at Cheryl, motioning to him probably dieing soon
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> <John> ... 6* He glances at Cheryl, then gives a smile.
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* John stops at an elevator, hitting a button to open the doors and moves in
[21:08] <13@Kit> <Chii> But if it's worth your soul...
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> <John> A night with you would be worth any man's soul, Firey Chii
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes and steps in
[21:09] <13Dias`> 6Dias sighs.
[21:09] <13Dias`> 6SPoC steps in herself.
15[21:09] * 13Dias` waits for X and Lilith to get on.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* X gets on, quiet, arms crossed
[21:09] <13@Kit> 6Chii eyes John, then moves over toward him, putting her hands up to push him toward the elevator wall.
[21:09] <13@Kit> 6Lilith steps in silently.
15[21:09] * 13Dias` steps on himself now.
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* John blinks in at that. "Uh, Dias, hit the button marked B for me."
[21:10] <13Dias`> <Dias> B it is. 6He hits the B button
[21:10] <13@Kit> 6Chii sets off her elemental triggers from earlier, encasing John's lower armor to the wall in solid ice.
[21:10] <13@Kit> <Chii> You can sit there and cool off for a while.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> <John> Fair enough. I hope you can find the brig
[21:11] <13Dias`> <Dias> Chii knock it off.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* The elevator moves down. Cheryl crosses her arms silently.
[21:11] <13@Kit> <Chii> I'm sure you can tell Cherry or I can Final Heaven you between the legs...
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> <John> Baby, you can take me to heaven any time you like.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* The doors open up and Cheryl steps off the elevator.
[21:12] <13@Kit> 6Chii twitches somewhat, then eyes her hand and considers.
[21:12] <13@Kit> 6Lilith moves off after Cheryl, peering about to get her surroundings quickly.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* It's a one way hallway to a set of metal doors, where two guards are standing. They stare, then move for the alarm.
[21:12] <13Dias`> 6Dias turns to look at Chii. 1"Focus on Cheryl."
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks, activating her whip and moving in at the guards
[21:13] <13@Kit> 6Lilith holds out her hand and forms a barrier between them and the door they're guarding and any controls there beside.
[21:13] <13Dias`> 6SPoC steps off then raises her rifle, firing a shot for one of them.
[21:13] <13@Kit> <Lilith> Mistress-- arrow.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> <X> Huh? 6* She seems to be not paying attention
[21:13] <13@Kit> <Lilith> Take them out.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guards stop, then move to hit a device on their wrists. SPoC's shot hits one, but their armor holds.
[21:14] <13Dias`> 6SPoC shifts her aim, firing the the device on the one she shot.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* X pauses, then opens a ripple and fires an arrow through it, looking blah
[21:14] <13Dias`> 6Dias takes a breath and swings his fist in, aiming to shatter the ice around John's leg
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* SPoC's shot hits the device, but there's no visible effects. The arrow hits the guard in the back, and he stumbles, right into Cheryl's fist. The second guard aims at the back of her head and fires
[21:15] <13Dias`> 6SPoC jerks her arim and fires for the gun.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* SPoC's shot hits the gun after the shot has gone off. It clatters to the floor; Cheryl stumbles forward from the hit, roaring and twisting around with her hand for the man's neck, grasping it and twisting it, a break sound. He begins to turn to ash
[21:17] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes go wide and he moves out of the elevator. 1"What happeneD?"
[21:17] <13@Kit> 6Chii jerks and peers down the hall, then runs down it toward Cheryl, apparently snapped back to reality by her roar.
[21:17] <13@Kit> 6Lilith sighs and finally lowers her light field.
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* John steps out of the elevator a moment later. Cheryl falls to her knees, her hand going to the back of her head
[21:18] <13Dias`> 6SPoC grabs a small med kit from her pouch and moves down over to Cheryl.
[21:18] <13Dias`> 6Dias runs his hand through his hair, looking annoyed.
[21:19] <13@Kit> 6Chii moves around to take a look for herself, wincing. 1"Cherry?"
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Get the others before...reinforcements come... 6* She manages, eyeing her hand with blood on it
[21:19] <13Dias`> 6SPoC kneels down and opens the medical kit. 1"Please stand still."
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* John nods, moving for the doors
[21:19] <13Dias`> <Dias> Come on X, Lilith. 6He moves after John
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* X pauses, then follows Dias
[21:20] <13@Kit> 6Lilith nods, looking to X to see if she's sobered yet-- when she moves she follows her.
[21:20] <13Dias`> 6SPoC shifts Cheryls hair around to get a better view of the wound and starts to do light treatment to it
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Thankfully with her hair in a ponytail, her hair isn't really damaged, but there's definitely blood coming down
[21:21] <13Dias`> 6SPoC frowns. 1"I will see what I can do with this."
[21:22] <13@Kit> <Chii> Hurry..
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* John opens the doors and steps into the cell area. Marcus, Katrina, and Raquel are behind an energy field.
[21:23] <13Dias`> 6Dias puts his arms on his hips, shaking his head at Marcus. 1"How will you ever be a superhero if you let yourself get captured like this?"
15[21:23] * 13@Marcus stands up. 1I was seduced.
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Marcus' back
[21:23] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "......"
[21:23] <13Dias`> <SPoC> I am working as fast as I can.
[21:24] <13Dias`> <Dias> Oh...A superhero's achilles heel. Damn.
[21:24] <13@Marcus> Exactly. 6He glances towards Kat, then offers her a smile, then peers ahead.
[21:24] <13Dias`> 6Dias glances around for the controls
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's a big button that can be pressed
[21:24] <13Dias`> 6SPoC grabs a sealer and starts to apply it to the wound.
[21:25] <13Dias`> <Dias> ...I wonder what this big button does. 6He moves over to it
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods to SPoC once she patches up the wound somewhat, though it's clear she's disoriented and probably suffering from what happens when one is shot in the head
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> <John> Stuff.
[21:25] <13Dias`> <Dias> I like stuff. 6He hits it.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches up and lets her hair down from a ponytail, shifting it out so it fall about her shoulders
[21:25] <13Dias`> <SPoC> Please be cautious. 6She stands up
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* The cells proceed to zap Marcus; prisoner torture button
[21:26] <13Dias`> <Dias> ...Huh, nothing happened. 6He hits it again
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* He's zapped again
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Dias.
[21:26] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...please stop that."
15[21:26] * 13@Marcus lets out a graaaah and falls to his knees.
[21:26] <13Dias`> 6Dias turns, eyeing Marcus on his knees. 1" ...My bad?"
15[21:27] * 13@Marcus breathes heavy, his nerves on fire. 1You'll think your bad when I kick your ass.
[21:27] <13Dias`> <Dias> That's not fair, you probably can right now. 6He looks around for another button
[21:27] <13@Kit> <Lilith> This sounds very un-superhero like.
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* John pulls a lever on another wall and the cel barriers drop.
[21:28] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...thank you."
[21:28] <13@Marcus> Gee, you think? 6He shifts to push himself to his feet.
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes the elevator doors ding again and begin to open
[21:28] <13@Kit> 6Lilith holds out her lance, having drawn it, toward Marcus, eyeing him.
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> <X> I think reinforcements are here
[21:29] <13Dias`> <Dias> Dude, I said I was sor...6He looks at X then at Marcus. 1"We'll talk about this later, for now. It's time to kick some ass."
[21:29] <13@Kit> 6Chii lowers something and kicks an explosive charge toward the elevator. 1"Bastards." 6She brings up one of her guns.
15[21:29] * 13@Marcus eyes Lilith. 1You can cut the shit. Someone give me a gun so I can kill these bastards.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> <John> Uh, Chii, if you damage the elevator----
[21:29] <13@Kit> <Lilith> You will not 'kick Dias' ass."
[21:29] <13Dias`> 6SPoC turns to look at the elevators and raises her rifle towards the elevator.
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* V.I. troops begin to step out of the elevator.
[21:30] <13Dias`> <Dias> Chill Lilith, it's fine.
[21:30] <13@Kit> 6Chii shoots the charge. 1"Die."
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip. The charge is shot, and an explosion shakes the area by the elevator.
[21:30] <13@Kit> 6Lilith looks to Dias, then nods and brings her lance to a relaxed posture, glancing toward the explosion.
[21:30] <13Dias`> 6SPoC waits for the smoke to clear before opening fire.
[21:31] <13@Marcus> ...so i'm going to go on a guess and assume that was the easy way out of here, right?
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* There appears to be no more troops standing now. Chii got 'em
[21:31] <13Dias`> <Dias> Trial's of tribulations my friend. Trials.
[21:31] <13@Kit> <Lilith> As far as I ascertained, it was the only way.
[21:32] <13@Kit> 6Chii blinks and peers back at the rest after that.
[21:32] <13Dias`> <SPoC> It is reasonable to believe that there is something here worth guarding so heavily besides Katrina, Raquel and Marcus
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl deactivates her whip and moves slowly for the damaged area to see if the elevator is operational
[21:32] <13@Marcus> There are always other ways, Lilith. I'm shocked Dias hasn't taught you that by now.
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> <X> I can use my ripple to take us up a floor, but we have no way to know if it won't be in a wall
[21:32] <13@Kit> <Lilith> I merely meant the only 'normal' way.
[21:33] <13@Kit> <Chii> I'll make another exit.
[21:33] <13@Marcus> And we're anything but normal, Lil. 6He gives her a smile and a shrug.
[21:33] <13@Kit> 6Lilith nods to Marcus.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* John walks up behind the others, hands behind his head.
[21:34] <13@Kit> 6Chii peers at the ceiling, then slowly glances at John. 1"...'Fiery Chii,' huh?"
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina silently peers at everyone.
[21:34] <13Dias`> 6Dias rubs the back of his neck.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> <John> Yeah. Do your stuff.
[21:34] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...Heheh. Heh.
15[21:34] * 13@Marcus glances around the room, looking for a makeshift weapon.
[21:34] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel moves behind something solid
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps into the dmagaged elevator.
[21:35] <13@Kit> 6Chii brings her hands up and quickly forms the fire's seal, then holds her hand up, but instead of immediately forming it she grins at John. 1"Mm, you've only seen the fireworks." 6She takes a deep breath, then begins chanting silently like Freyja usually does.
[21:36] <13@Kit> 6...And proceeds to, without doing much else.
[21:36] <13Dias`> 6SPoC waits patiently.
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* John watches for now, geninuely curious
[21:36] <13@Kit> <Lilith> Is there anything else sensitive in this base or were our allies the only thing to retrieve?
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <John> Is she going to cast a meteor?
[21:37] <13Dias`> <Dias> Remind me not to get blown up again. 6He twists his upperbody to loosen it up
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> We should destroy the base. V.I. seems to be stationed here, after all
[21:37] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...did you bring things... to blow up a base?"
[21:38] <13@Marcus> Well maybe Chii could do that instead of making a meteor.
[21:38] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks over at Kat. 1"This has been a good day so far, everyone keeps coming up with plans I can understand and dig.
[21:38] <13@Kit> 6Chii opens her eyes after a moment and glares at John. 1"Sh-Shut up. It takes a while to amplify the level when I don't have souls to devour in place of the divine whisper."
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <John> I'd offer my energy, but I think I'll keep my soul
[21:38] <13@Kit> <Chii> Why do you think I never use this shit otherwise... hrmph..
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans back out. "I found a way up." 6* She then goes back inside.
[21:39] <13@Kit> 6Chii staggers and peers back. 1"B-But.."
[21:39] <13Dias`> 6SPoC looks over towards Cheryl and moves towards her
[21:39] <13Dias`> <Dias> Theatrics are only nice when they don't take 20 minutes to do. 6He notes and moves towards Cheryl
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> <John> I wanted to see te spell
[21:39] <13@Kit> <Chii> Fuck you!!
[21:40] <13@Kit> 6Chii growls loudly and sighs, hanging her head.
[21:40] <13Dias`> <Dias> Not after you kicked me in the junk.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* X walks after the others, and Katrina gives Chii a smile
[21:40] <13@Marcus> Save it for blowing up the base Chii. It'll be a lot cooler then. 6He glances towards Kat, then moves forward.
[21:40] <13@Kit> <Chii> Junk indeed..
[21:40] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel heads after Cheryl, since it seems safer than potentially being erratiated by a malcontent demon.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl has moved up through the exit hatch in the elevator. She climbs the elevator shaft's ladder
[21:40] <13@Kit> <Chii> I'll have to recite the whisper all over again... Grrr.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <John> If it makes you feel any better, I wanted to see it
[21:40] <13Dias`> 6SPoC moves up after Cheryl. Dias holds his arm up to help X up.
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Dias, then steps through a ripple to get on the top of the elevator
[21:41] <13@Kit> 6Lilith actually pollitely laughs behind her hand at Dias, then floats up through.
[21:41] <13Dias`> 6Dias lets out a huff of air and he leaps up, pulling himself up
[21:41] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel ripples after X, taking the easy way
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl continues to climb, looking tired and winded, and sleepy.
[21:42] <13@Kit> 6Chii pouts at Katrina, then moves inside. She eyes the hole, then runs up part of the elevator's wall and leaps from it to grab the edge and pull herself up.
[21:42] <13Dias`> 6Dias starts climbing up the ladder now
[21:42] <13@Marcus> I would've lifted you up, Chii. 6He looks to Kat to see if she wants help.
[21:42] <13@Kit> <Chii> Saving what little dignity I have. Hrmph./.
[21:42] <13Dias`> <SPoC> You are most likely suffering from a concussion, Cheryl.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> <KAtrina> I'm good.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's a loud sound as a metallic door is ripped open, and the Beta from before leans to peer down at them from a few floors up
[21:43] <13Dias`> <SPoC> ...That is not good.
[21:43] <13Dias`> 6Dias groans. 1"God damn't."
15[21:43] * 13@Marcus hops up to pull himself and then peers upward. 1Holy hell. What is that?
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then moves to the closest floor's doors, gripping them and trying to open them
[21:44] <13@Kit> 6Chii peers up. Then forms a set of lightning seals quickly with her hands, bringing it back, then hurtling her hand forward, sending an arc of electric current upward at its peering head. 1"Raiton!"
[21:44] <13Dias`> 6SPoC moves to help Cheryl
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks upward. John hops up and Katrina climbs up as well
[21:44] <13@Marcus> Oh I think that's just going to piss it off Chii. Hop on. 6He motions to his back as he grips the ladder.
[21:44] <13@Kit> <Lilith> General Cheryl, please move.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then leans back
[21:45] <13@Kit> <Chii> A-As if I would!
[21:45] <13Dias`> 6SPoC shifts out of the way, hanging to the side
[21:45] <13@Ariel> 6* The Beta almost seems to grin behind it's heavy armour. "PHANTASMA HAS LOCATED TARGETS." 6It doesn't seem happy about the electricty though.
[21:45] <13@Kit> 6Lilith coils atop the elevator, closing her eyes, then leaps, holding the lance over her head in both hands and slams the blade down diagonally through the doors.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <John> That thing is big.
[21:45] <13@Kit> <Lilith> It should succumb to your strength now.
[21:45] <13@Marcus> It's faster! Get on!
[21:46] <13Dias`> <Dias> ...And loudl
[21:46] <13Dias`> 6SPoC nods and moves to pull it open now
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts back to the doors, tugging it with her strength. IT begins to open, her muscles straining under the suit
[21:47] <13@Kit> <Chii> And ugly.
15[21:47] * 13@Marcus motions John and Kat past him, as he reaches out to put Chii on his back, then begins to climb after them.
[21:47] <13@Kit> 6Chii quickly forms another set of seals and brings her hand up as if dragging a current of air. 1"Doton." 6She sends a spire for its grinning 'face.'
[21:47] <13@Ariel> 6* The beta reaches an arm in, firing plasma blasts at Chii with a wrist mounted cannon.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* X ripples to safety on the floor
[21:48] <13@Kit> 6Chii then leaps forward, wailing as she grabs her arms around Marcus' neck.
15[21:48] * 13@Marcus widens his eyes and begins to climb as quick as he can. 1Great. I'm doomed.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina waits for SPoC to get in so she can get in next
[21:48] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel ripples after X, then pauses to wonder why they're just not letting the others use these.
[21:48] <13Dias`> 6SPoC pulls herself through and she moves to open it through the other side
[21:49] <13@Kit> <Chii> Probably, I just uppercutted it with rock. I'm sure that's a friendly greeting in deathbot.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* X has left her ripple open
[21:49] <13Dias`> 6Dias hops into the ripple
[21:49] <13@Kit> 6Lilith steps through X's to be by her side, keeping her eyes locked onto the beta.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina climbs up and onto the floor
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* John sneaks through a ripple.
[21:49] <13@Ariel> Phantasma> *fires, trying to hit Chii again* "PHANTASMA NOT LIKE SMALL ONE."
15[21:49] * 13@Marcus mvoes up after Katrina, sliding in. 1Ohfuckohfuck.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl narrows her eyes, then leans out, with her whip, to shield Marcus and Chii
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* She holds up her whipped hand to take the impact of the blast
[21:50] <13@Kit> 6Chii lets go with one hand to give the beta the finger. 1"Oh yeah!? Fuck you, too, you overdecorated can opener!"
15[21:50] * 13@Marcus winces after he slides in, reaching out to pull Cheryl back in too.
[21:50] <13Dias`> 6Dias kneels beside X, taking several breathes
[21:50] <13Dias`> 6SPoC grabs Cheryl and pulls her in after Marcus and Chii get in
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is pulled back in. Her whip is sparking and her tactical suit at her arm damaged. Some blood oozes, too
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Goddamn Betas.
[21:51] <13@Kit> <Chii> I've decided. I'm going to melt that thing.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina winces at Cheryl's anger.
[21:51] <13@Ariel> Phantasma> "INSULT LACKING." *drops a bomb into the shaft*
[21:51] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes Cheryl and then her wounds, he shakes his head and pushes himself up.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> <John> Bomb.
[21:51] <13@Marcus> It's fine Cheryl, we'll get our chance to take it out. 6He pauses. 1Anyone here that?
[21:51] <13@Kit> 6Lilith's eyes widen and she shields the semi-open doorway with light. 1"Retreat."
[21:52] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel closes her ripple very quickly.
15[21:52] * 13@Marcus lifts himself up and Chii and moves to go deeper into the hallway, pulling Cheryl and even Kat with him.
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple to redirect some of the explosion, too
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is pulled along, snarling at him to let her go so she can fight it. John moves after the others.
[21:52] <13Dias`> 6SPoC moves after Marcus
[21:53] <13@Marcus> When we get our of here, you and Chii can go gear and put the pain to it, until then, let's focus on getting out, alright?
[21:53] <13@Marcus> Oh and blowing this place up. 6He winks to Kat.
[21:53] <13@Kit> <Chii> No way! Cherry's hurt.
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* The new hallway takes them to a set of doors that are unguarded
15[21:54] * 13Dias` pat's X on the shoulder and waves her to follow as he moves after the others
[21:54] <13@Kit> <Chii> Just get it into the open and give me some time.
[21:54] <13@Kit> 6Chii practically snarls. 1"I'll show you something."
[21:55] <13Dias`> <SPoC> It would be smarted to overpower it and end it quickly.
[21:55] <13@Kit> <Chii> What do you think I'll do?
[21:55] <13@Marcus> Right. And the only way we can overpower it is with a gear. Sorry Chii, but you're not that powerful.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* John peers at the doors in thought.
[21:55] <13Dias`> <Dias> It's a beta, nothing more than that.
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> It's more than a Beta.
[21:56] <13Dias`> <Dias> That it can't be a beta.
[21:56] <13Dias`> NRP: tha
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't think it is a Beta, really. IT has primitive emotions
[21:56] <13@Kit> <Chii> You trust me to burn this base, but not that piece of junk?
[21:56] <13Dias`> <Dias> So like a....Theta?
[21:57] <13@Marcus> Well I'm sure this base has an area full of highly explosive materials if you get my drift.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves to the door controls, staring at it
[21:58] <13@Marcus> So do we just open them, or do you think they might be locked and or set up like a trap?
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> It's likely.
[21:59] <13Dias`> <Dias> I don't want to get blown up, so count me out on opening the doors
[21:59] <13@Marcus> It's a shame we don't have any hackers that could disable any electronic traps.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* John sighs and moves to open the doors by hitting the control panel
15[22:00] * 13@Marcus tenses, ready for an explosion.
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* As he hits the buttons, a current shoots through his body, causing it to shudder. He roars in pain and smashes his fist into the control panel, causing an explosion . The doors open 2 feet
[22:01] <13Dias`> <Dias> See? Explosion. 6He winces and moves over to a door, and grabs the edge of it to start pulling it open
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* John falls over
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> John!
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves to kneel and check on him
[22:02] <13Dias`> <Dias> He's fine.
15[22:02] * 13@Marcus winces and moves over to him, kneeling. He reaches out to check for a pulse.
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* He's dead. Again.
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kidding.
[22:02] <13@Kit> <Lilith> It would be a shame if he were to suffer defeat from a mere door.
[22:02] <13Dias`> <Dias> Lilith, I think he needs mouth to mouth.
[22:03] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...does are dangerous to certain peoples..."
15[22:03] * 13@Marcus lets out a breath, giving Katrina a light nod.
[22:03] <13@Ariel> NRP: *doors
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* As Dias pushes the doors open more, they can see a lab full of people in tubes. Some look like them
[22:03] <13Dias`> 6Dias shifts his arms and he looks inside. 1"Jackpot."
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods at Marcus. Cheryl steps in to stare now, peering about
[22:04] <13Dias`> 6Dias steps in after Cheryl, glancing around. SPoC moves in now, sweeping with her rifle
15[22:04] * 13@Marcus gives John a few smacks to see if that'll wake him up.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* John winces and sits up
[22:04] <13@Marcus> You ok?
[22:04] <13@Ariel> Raquel> *looks to Marcus* "...you could be more gentle..."
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers about silently. She approaches one such capsule that seems to hold a girl that looks a lot like X. She has severe burn marks all over her body
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* John thumbs up and stands. Katrina rises as well
[22:05] <13@Marcus> Yeah I could be. 6He stands up, giving a light hearted shrug then steps into the room, peering at the clones.
[22:05] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel notices what caught X's attention, and heads over curiously.
[22:06] <13Dias`> 6Dias pauses, slowly turning to look at the capsule X is staring at. His eyes go wide and he moves over to her quickly.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes the girl - she's disfigured from explosive damage, and seems to be dead, the liquid in the tube probably trying to preserve her tissue somewhat . She has purple hair, too
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> <John> Send in the clones.
[22:07] <13Dias`> <Dias> This is...
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans against a wall tiredly again
[22:07] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel just stares, then looks at X
15[22:07] * 13@Marcus frowns at the sight of Ceasura and shakes his head. 1I see we weren't completely right, Dias.
[22:07] <13Dias`> <Dias> It's Caesura. 6He looks at Marcus, who if he knows his bff well, he's almost freaking out.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* X just grabs her head now, as if in sudden pain, turning away
[22:08] <13@Marcus> I know. I-6He pauses and glances towards X.
[22:08] <13Dias`> 6Dias snaps out of it when X grabs her head and he turns to her. 1"X, what's wrong?"
[22:08] <13@Kit> <Chii> ...Is that why they looked so similar?
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* X doesn't say anything, looking like she's freaking out. She falls to her knees. At that moment, a voice speaks up. "Ah, Weapon II, IX, and our dear X."
[22:09] <13@Kit> 6Lilith blinks and eyes X, worried at the sight of her pain.
15[22:09] * 13@Marcus shifts reaching out to take a pistol from one of SPoC's holsters.
[22:09] <13Dias`> 6Dias drops to his knees and puts an arm around X, his eyes dart up at the voice.
[22:09] <13@Kit> <Chii> Doesn't make any sense, though. There was an 'ultimate weapon' before any of this. ...Though we never saw it.
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* John turns to stare, as does Katrina; Katrina opts to move to check on X, trying to calm her emotionally with her powers.
[22:10] <13Dias`> 6SPoC swings her rifle towards Marcus than lowers it.
[22:10] <13@Kit> <Lilith> M-Mistress..
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Standing there is a man in a scientist lab coat. One of the Weapons people.
15[22:10] * 13@Marcus pauses then gives her a thumbs up, looking towards the source of the voice. Hey eyes the man.
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> <Man> I've been trying to get X and II back for some time, and here they fall into my lap
[22:10] <13@Marcus> NRP: He*
[22:10] <13Dias`> <Dias> Relax, X. I'm here. 6He eyes the man.
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tenses up now.
[22:10] <13Dias`> 6SPoC quickly trains her weapon on the man.
[22:11] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel eyes the man coldly... especially since he makes her sound lesser.
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> <Man> So, how do you like it? *Waves his hands out* See any familiar faces out there?
[22:11] <13Dias`> 6Dias glances around
[22:12] <13@Kit> 6Chii eyes him, the others' reactions, then gets a bitter look and quickly forms a set of two seals, then begins to form the silent chant.
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* A naked Marcus is in one near Dias
[22:12] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...Mistress..." 6She looks at a loss.
[22:12] <13Dias`> <Dias> What's the deal with the clones?
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* X seems to be almost catatonic.
[22:12] <13@Marcus> I told you it was that big. 6He says in a dry joke, pulling the pistol to aim at the man.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> <Man> Research purposes. After they made Legion from all of you, we've been looking into seeing if we could create our own super soldier as well. But then the clone degradation hit.
[22:13] <13Dias`> 6Dias nods to Kat and shifts X into her arms. He stands up now.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> <Man> And I won't let that upstart Allighieri's projects out do mine. The Boss is counting on my success.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. I say we just beat him up now. His voice is making my headache hurt more
[22:14] <13@Marcus> Clone degradation? Allighieri? Hey isn't that Dawn's last name?
[22:14] <13Dias`> <Dias> First mistake. 6He cracks his neck. 1"You screwed with Caesura's body.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Man> If I didn't, X wouldn't be standing here today.
[22:15] <13Dias`> 6Dias takes a step forward. 1"Second mistake was pissing me off."
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> <John> Uh oh. He's pissed.
[22:15] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...isn't that the same as the first mistake...?"
15[22:15] * 13@Marcus gives a slight shrug to Raquel.
[22:16] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, and decides to be quiet.
[22:16] <13@Kit> 6Lilith peers at X and to Katrina pleadingly.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> She's hiding. I think she's in some sort of shock. It could be that seeing Caesura trigged some latent memories
[22:16] <13Dias`> 6Dias starts moving towards the man now, his left hand tightening.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* The man taps a button on a remote in his pocket. "Your mistake was coming here, you fools. I'll collect tissue samples from you after you're all dead. It'll have to do. The dozens and dozens of clones begin to wake up.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* The man taps a button on a remote in his pocket. "Your mistake was coming here, you fools. I'll collect tissue samples from you after you're all dead. It'll have to do. 4The dozens and dozens of clones begin to wake up.
[22:17] <13Dias`> 6Dias kicks off, sprinting towards the man now
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* The man steps back through a door and the door closes.
[22:17] <13Dias`> 6Dias shifts his body to shoulder ram the door
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* The door holds, and Dias' shoulder is damaged.
[22:18] <13@Kit> <Lilith> But..." 6She starts to look sad for once.
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the clones' eyes opening all around them. John rubs the back of his head. "This is bad."
[22:18] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel attempts to open a ripple through the door.
[22:18] <13Dias`> 6Dias gasps from the pain and he presses his head against the door.
15[22:18] * 13@Marcus shifts around with his pistol quickly. 1Do we shoot to kill?
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* The ripple doesn't seem to be able to do so
[22:18] <13Dias`> <SPoC> They are clones, yes. 6She trains her weapon on one.
[22:19] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel scowls at the plot door.
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* The tube's chambers drain and begin to open. A voice speaks out from the other side of the room. "This way, everyone. I'd use your grenades and explosives, then run."
15[22:19] * 13@Marcus glances towards the voice, oddly.
[22:19] <13@Kit> 6Chii still seems to be chanting.
[22:19] <13Dias`> 6Dias pushes off the door with his good arm and moves back over to Kat, holding his good arm out. 1"Hand her here."
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin is standing on a catwalk on the other side; some stairs lead up to it
[22:20] <13@Marcus> Paladin?
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina begins to help X to her feet, shifting her to Dias
[22:20] <13@Kit> <Lilith> A-Am I to protect you both, Dias?
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances up at him. "Probably a clone.'
[22:20] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel hesitates, but then opens a ripple to Paladin. Seems safer than staying there.
[22:20] <13Dias`> 6SPoC switches to her launcher and aims towards some clones as she starts moving towards the stairway
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* John cracks his knuckles, as the clones ebegin to step out. One is a naked Ariel. Hawt.
[22:21] <13Dias`> <Dias> You'll protect everyone. 6He grunts and lifts her up with his good arm.
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods and moves through the door way that's on top of the catwalk.
[22:21] <13@Marcus> 6* Marcus shoots for the head of one of the clones, then moves through the ripple.
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to head for the catwalk. KAtrina turns to peer up at Paladin vanishing, but is unable to get a read off of him since he's gone. She moves for the ripple.
[22:21] <13Dias`> 6SPoC follows behind Cheryl.
15[22:22] * 13Dias` carries X through the ripple.
[22:22] <13@Marcus> If he is a clone and he's just luring us into a trap, we'll have no choice but to deal with that then. For now we should probably just go with him. 6He says outloud, though more for himself than anyone else.
[22:22] <13@Kit> 6Lilith nods to Dias slowly... then eyes Chii and picks her up by the collar of her outfit and moves through the ripple.
[22:23] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel heads through, and waits for the rest to make it through, or take the stairs, before closing it.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl enters the ripple and then the door Paladin entered.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* The naked Ariel smiles as she streaks after them
15[22:23] * 13@Marcus moves through that door, holding the pistol up, ready to fire it would seem.
[22:23] <13Dias`> 6SPoC grabs several of her grenades and primes them, then tosses them down to the clones below as she moves for the door
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* John punches one clone, then kicks another, hopping up the stairs.
[22:23] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel hurriedly heads after Cheryl
[22:24] <13Dias`> 6Dias moves after the others for the doorway with X acrosshis shoulder
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* The door leads to a hallway. With no sign of Paladin again, Cheryl moves down it
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Behind them, clones are blown up like zombie fodder.
[22:25] <13Dias`> 6SPoC waits at the doorwar for John to pass by
[22:25] <13@Marcus> Shut that door behind you, and try to seal or something. 6He says over his shoulder, moving after Cheryl.
[22:26] <13@Kit> 6Lilith runs after the others, holding Chii out in annoyance like one does a hot kettle. 1"What is she doing?"
[22:26] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...he disappears like a ghost..."
[22:26] <13Dias`> 6Dias moves along the hallway with the others
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* As they reach another set of doors, they come across a stairway. Cheryl begins to move up it, but then pauses, looking dizzy
[22:27] <13Dias`> 6SPoC moves after the others, runnign to catch up
15[22:28] * 13@Marcus slides up to Cheryl. 1Come'on, put your arm around me.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch.
[22:28] <13@Marcus> Just do it.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina keeps an eye on X for now with Dias, and John pulls up the rear.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head. "I'm fine." 6* She begins to head up again
15[22:29] * 13@Marcus frowns and moves after her, he can't make her take his help, at least not right now.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* After a good hike up the stairs, the team arrives through a door way they steps them into what appears to be a lovely house, though it's empty of people
[22:30] <13Dias`> 6Dias shifts around as he looks. 1"This must be the surface
[22:30] <13@Ariel> Raquel> *looks around* "...maybe... they want us to settle down and be a family...?" *trying to joke*
[22:31] <13@Marcus> Let's try to be quiet, else that Beta thing may find us.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Outside the window, they can see a group of 10 troops protecting scientist boy who is moving for a shuttle
[22:31] <13Dias`> 6Dias narrows his eyes and sets X down. 1"He's mine."
[22:31] <13@Marcus> Dias you'll be gunned down before you can take 4 steps.
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, sitting beside X, still working to help wake the girl. Cheryl eyes out the window, tiredly
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> <John> I'll go with you
[22:32] <13Dias`> <Dias> Protect the girls. 6He takes several breathes to relax himself and moves to the front door
[22:32] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...Then take this one." 6She holds Chii out to John.
[22:32] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel tries to open a ripple far enough, that the scientist would run into the house, and right into Dias and John as they leave.
[22:33] <13@Kit> <Lilith> She's amassing spiritual energy, and I felt a sink from the general. She's up to something destructive, no doubt, given her history.
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Chii, then picks her up by the collar, holding her out in front of him. As the ripple opens, the scientist stops, then begins to shout out. <Scientist> IX is out there! FIND HER
[22:33] <13Dias`> <Dias> It's probably the shot to the head that you're feeling in Cheryl.
[22:33] <13Dias`> 6Dias kicks the front door open and sprints out.
15[22:33] * 13@Marcus motions for SPoC to take up a window, so she can snipe some heads off.
[22:34] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel punches the scientist through the ripple, and closes it
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* The troops begin to fire into the ripple, while others begin to look arond
[22:34] <13Dias`> 6SPoC moves to a window, and waits.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* The scientist eyes her fist coming through - their shots also would go through before it closes
[22:34] <13@Marcus> Raquel! 6He tries to push her to the side, though he would probably get hit once or twice himself.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* John rushes out after Dias, holding Chii in front of him. "CHII BANG ATTACK."
[22:35] <13@Kit> 6Lilith moves to stand beside Katrina and X, forming her armor.
[22:35] <13Dias`> 6Dias moves, not as fast as he normally does but it's obvious he's pushing himself no matter what
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* The troops that weren't facing the ripple fire at Dias and John. John holds Chii to the side so she isn't hit
[22:35] <13@Kit> 6Chii dangles like a cheap fortune charm gag from Chinatown.
[22:35] <13Dias`> 6Dias twist to the side as he tries to dodge as much as he can
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* The scientist uses his datapad to give Phantasma the location of the house the group is hiding in, with orders to blow them all up
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* John is hit a few times by the shots, stumbling. Cheryl shakes her head and moves out after them
15[22:36] * 13@Marcus grits his teeth and clenches his jaws, trying to ignore the pain of being hit as he moves over to check on Spirit.
[22:37] <13@Ariel> 6* Phantasma appears in the air over the house after a few moments, aiming it's cannon down.
[22:37] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel winces, "...sorry... they were faster than I thought..."
[22:37] <13Dias`> 6SPoC looks up and outside. 1"We must move now."
[22:37] <13Dias`> 6Dias howls out and kicks off, spin kicking for a troopers side.
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers up at the Gamma thing
[22:37] <13@Marcus> It's ok. Be careful next time. 6He kneels to lift her up. 1Come'on outside quickly or we're all going to be ashes.
[22:38] <13Dias`> 6SPoC moves over to Katrina and X to help them up
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dias kicks into one troop, but the other two fire at him from angles
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods to SPoC, helping X up; she peers at Marcus to see if he's okay.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* John swings Chii like a bat into one trooper.
[22:38] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, and gets up as quick as she can.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* The scientist begins to move for the shuttle again
[22:38] <13@Kit> 6Chii jerks, pausing in her chant for a moment, then resumes
15[22:39] * 13@Marcus gives her a smile, though she would see wound on his side and shoulder, he turns to move out with Raquel quickly.
[22:39] <13Dias`> 6Dias is hit and he lands in a crouch, he grabs the trooper he kicked and uses him as a shield, kicking him towards another one then breaks off for a dash at the scientist
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* John punches another trooper, only to get shot again. He falls back
[22:39] <13@Ariel> 6* Phantasma fires at the house, after reaching a full charge.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* The troops line up and fire shots at Dias as he runs for the scientist
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps out of the house
[22:39] <13@Kit> 6Lilith moves after SPoC and the other two, trying to shield them with herself as they hopefully exit by now
[22:40] <13Dias`> 6SPoC steps out with Kat and glances up then grabs the two, covering them with her body.
15[22:40] * 13@Marcus moves out, diving after the blast, or at least being knocked away by it at least.
[22:40] <13@Kit> 6Chii opens her eyes and slowly gazes toward 'Phantasma' with an annoyed but calm expression, bringing a hand up to her mouth and biting into her thumb.
[22:40] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel uses aa ripple to shield her and Marcus as best she can
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* The scientist gets into the shuttle finally, sitting down. "Fly us out of here."
[22:42] <13@Ariel> 6* Phantasma gives Chii the middle finger, then fires some more plasma at her... and John by extension.
15[22:42] * 13@Marcus glances to Raquel and then up to she shuttle. 1Ripple off the engines, don't let him escape.
[22:42] <13@Kit> 6Chii brings that hand up and quickly draws a sigil, apparently, the blood glowering as it leaves her finger. 1"...Katon, Raiton. Hikari." 6She brings up her other hand like she would for a katon fireball or such.
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* John shifts to avoid the shots as best he can. Twisting himself.
[22:42] <13@Marcus> NRP: the shuttle*
[22:42] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, and attempts to shift the ripple into the fuel line, or best she can.
[22:43] <13Dias`> 6SPoC rises up and begins taking shots at the troopers
[22:43] <13Dias`> 6Dias dashes for the ramp.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle begins to power up, but then a spark occurs and the shuttle explodes.
[22:43] <13@Kit> <Chii> Eternal Flare." 6She brings a small flicker of light above Phantasma down toward her and the house.
[22:43] <13Dias`> 6Dias slides to a stop, covering his face with his arms
15[22:43] * 13@Marcus jerks and pauses. 1What did you do?
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* The troops fire into Dias as he stops.
15[22:44] * 13@Marcus quickly pushes himself to his feet, pulling up the pistol to fire towards one of the troops firing for his head.
[22:44] <13Dias`> 6Dias body jerks forward from several shot and then twists, leaping towards the side
[22:44] <13@Kit> 6Chii glances at John, as nothing's happened yet. She just smiles widely. That's never a good thing.
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* John kicks one trooper in the head. Cheryl rams one trooper, smashing her fist into his mask over and over
[22:44] <13@Ariel> 6* Phantasma does it's best to shield itself from the fire blast from above, not expecting an indirect attack.
[22:45] <13@Kit> <Chii> Oh yeah.
[22:45] <13Dias`> 6Dias begins running along in an arc to circle around the troops
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* The troops decide to retreat now
[22:46] <13@Kit> 6Chii blinks, then reaches up and snaps her fingers like Freyja often does, the flicker disappearing, then reappearing in a swirl of enlarging flame, plasma and horrendously bright light. Much like her favorite effects-- an explosion.
15[22:46] * 13@Marcus continues to move forward, shooting towards troop after troop, his hand sweeping for headshots, his aim oddly steady.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Thank God for their masks.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Though it does cause them to stumble
[22:46] <13@Kit> 6Chii starts to laugh, then just slumps and passes out.
[22:46] <13Dias`> 6SPoC fires at them as they retreat, aiming for the ones that stumble
[22:47] <13@Marcus> Dude those masks are stupid. 6He notes with annoyance.
[22:47] <13Dias`> 6Dias goes to leap on the back of one.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* SPoC manages to down a few. Suddenly, all the troops turn to ashes.
15[22:47] * 13@Marcus pauses. 1Uh. Good job SPoC.
[22:47] <13Dias`> 6Dias lands awkardly, rolling.
15[22:47] * 13@Marcus glances around quickly, looking for something more serious.
[22:47] <13@Ariel> 6* Phantasma is engulfed by the attack, but when the explosion clears, Phantasma is gone.
[22:47] <13Dias`> <SPoC> It was not my doing.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Chii all passed out, then cops a feel
[22:48] <13@Ariel> Raquel> *smiles weakly* "...so... we still going for blowing up the base?"
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's a rumbling under ground as the underground base is destroyed.
[22:48] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "......"
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6* She peers about
[22:48] <13@Marcus> I know. 6He pauses and glances down. 1We should probably get clear of this area.
[22:48] <13@Marcus> Wait. We didn't do that.
[22:48] <13Dias`> <SPoC> It could be that Paladin's doing.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pants as she sits in ashes
[22:49] <13@Kit> 6No fiery death engulfs John, she peacefully dozes, completely out.
[22:49] <13Dias`> 6Dias strains as he pushes himself up, blood dripping down from his wounds
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's a noise from the wreckage of the shuttle. Like a voice.
15[22:49] * 13@Marcus eyes Dias, then Cheryl. He looks around for an unused shuttle, but being they were popping out of houses, he probably wouldn't find one.
[22:50] <13@Kit> <Lilith> ...This is a chaotic field. I can discern nothing with certainty...
[22:50] <13Dias`> 6Dias glances towards the wreckage and starts to move towards it
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* A damaged datapad can be seen under some fire. A face on the broken screen
[22:51] <13Dias`> 6Dias shifts some debris out of the way and grabs the datapad.
15[22:51] * 13@Marcus mvoes over to offer out a hand to Cheryl, probably sensing that they'll need to move soon.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> <Voice> --- you're not Jansen. Hello, Weapon II. It has been a long time. 6* Comes a familiar voice from the past; an older gentleman's voice
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head once, wincing from the motion, glancing toward the datapad, her eyes widening
15[22:52] * 13@Marcus eyes her reaction, then glances towards Dias. 1Who is that?
[22:52] <13Dias`> <Dias> Jog my memory.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> <Voice> We didn't mean very much. I warned Chad not to unearth you - that you would be his bane one day.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> *meet
[22:53] <13Dias`> <Dias> I see. Good thing he didn't listen than.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> <Voice> He'll regret it one day. When you kill him.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No way...
[22:53] <13@Marcus> No way what? Who is that?
[22:54] <13Dias`> <Dias> Sorry bub, I'm a superhero, I don't kill good guys.
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* John peers over now. Katrina speaks up, recognizing the voice. "That's General Cran."
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* A slight chuckle. "Every superhero has an origin. Yours is a blood bath."
[22:54] <13@Marcus> I don't get it. Could it be a cloen?
[22:54] <13@Marcus> NRP: clone*
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't know.
[22:55] <13Dias`> 6Dias narrows his eyes. 1"Than I'm glad I don't remember it."
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> <Cran?> You will, soon, Destroyer of Worlds. You will soon. 6* He clicks off the transmission
[22:55] <13@Kit> <Lilith> Destroyer... of Worlds?
15[22:55] * 13@Marcus frowns at that name. 1He's just messing with you.
[22:56] <13Dias`> 6Dias runs his hand through his hair and turns to look at the others. 1"It's not important."
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> <John> I wish I had a cool nickname.
[22:56] <13Dias`> <Dias> You can still choose Snipe.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <John> I think I'll for "Pleasure for All Women"
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts a hand to her face, silent now
[22:57] <13Dias`> <Dias> Nice. 6He nods then looks at Cheryl as he moves over to X. 1"So you think that was really him?"
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't know. He knew about Chad finding you.
[22:58] <13@Marcus> Well the Xanatos clone knew everything that Xanatos knew.
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's a loud noise as the house wreckage moves, and a naked Ariel emerges
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* John turns to face her, then holds up Chii as if she were a weapon
15[22:58] * 13@Marcus pauses and eyes the naked Ariel. 1Ah shit. 6He holds up his pistol, eyeing her.
[22:58] <13Dias`> <Dias> Well what do we do next?
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers toward Marcus, then Ariel
[22:58] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel stands defensively... then notices the dead troops, and grabs a gun.
[22:59] <13Dias`> 6SPoC turns, aiming her rifle at the naked Ariel.
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> <John> I say we beat the clone, and go home.
15[22:59] * 13@Marcus tilts his head slightly. 1I think I should take this moment in, cause i'll never see her naked again.
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> <John> Good point.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts
[23:00] <13Dias`> 6Dias kneels down by X and Kat. 1"How's she doing?"
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes her head at Dias.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* John pauses, then pulls out a camera, holding it up.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
[23:00] <13Dias`> 6Dias frowns. 1"Anything I can do?
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> Location: HQ
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* X remains in the medical bay, not waking up, and Caduceus remains missing. Cheryl sits in her office, nursing a pounding head with alcohol.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> So you heard Cran's voice. 6* He murmurs to Cheryl.
[23:01] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel helps in the med bay, since she atleast tutored under Caduceus. She knows field medicine at the least.
[23:02] <13Dias`> 6Dias sits beside X's bed, his chair leaned back and his hands resting behind the back of his head.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien slides his hands into his pockets, shifting to stand more in the hallway now.
15[23:02] * 13@Marcus stands just outside of medbay, arms crossed as he leans against the wall, a frown on his face.
15[23:03] * 13@Jennifer` approaches the medical bay, peeking in quietly.
[23:03] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> Well. It looks like one of our theories was sort of true.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> ...
[23:04] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel checks on X's vitals for the 12th time this hour. Worried about her... well, she's not sure what to consider X any more.
[23:04] <13@Marcus> 6* Xanatos rubs the back of his neck, standing in the hallway. He gives Darien a shrug. 1What now?
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina enters the medical bay, moving to sit down. She gives Dias a smile
[23:05] <13Dias`> 6Dias nods to Kat. 1"She hasn't improved."
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien shrugs. "Work on getting you captured, I guess. Wait to see who's evil or not. Hope Megumi and Erevis and Ariel are okay.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe try to find this Paladin.
[23:05] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> Yeah. Me too. 6He nods in agreement. Then shifts. 1Well. I guess I would have to figure out how to make contact with her.
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> She needs time
15[23:07] * 13@Jennifer` walks steps into the medical room and gets a closer look at X.
[23:07] <13Dias`> <Dias> I just hope that's all she needs
[23:07] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "I... I think she's stable.. but she's not right... inside."
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. I'll get on that. 6* He turns to go.
[23:08] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...even like this, she's weird."
[23:08] <13@Marcus> <Xanatos> Good luck. 6He peers at those in the medbay, then turns to move down the hallway.
15[23:08] * 13@Jennifer` frowns a bit and looks up at Raquel. "Weird how?"
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina pats Dias' hand with her own. "Cheryl has made sure to bring in the best doctors to look at her."
[23:09] <13Dias`> 6Dias smiles. 1"She'll pull through."
15[23:10] * 13@Marcus steps into the medbay now after those two are gone and frowns. 1If she's a clone of Ceasura, then she may be suffering that degradation problem too, Dias.
09[23:10] <13@Jennifer`> "She's tough though..."
[23:10] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...her signs aren't really..." *trails off at mention of Caesura*
[23:10] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks at Marcus. 1"She's better than that, Marcus."
[23:11] <13@Marcus> I know you don't want to hear it. But it's a possibility.
[23:11] <13Dias`> Than I find a way to fix her, simple as that.
15[23:12] * 13@Marcus nods once, finished being a debbie downer.
[23:13] <13Dias`> It's the least I can do for her.
[23:13] <13@DeathStar> -END-

[22:26] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: After Ep.12
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> Location: HQ
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits on the roof edge, still drinking since talking to Marcus earlier, and looking more wasted than she normally would, probably from her concussion in the mission earlier. She peers over the edge, as if debating if a 1 story drop could be fatal
03[22:28] * Seraphna is now known as Jennifer
[22:28] <13Chad`Winters> 6The sound of footsteps can be heard and a body sits down on the edge beside her. 1"It's only one story."
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah know.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her forehead with her arm, then takes another swallow, peering at Chad from the side of her vision
[22:29] <13Chad`Winters> You're skulls too thick too.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Pfft. 'uck 'ou. 6* She gives him the bird. "At least ah on't 'et in comas for 'onths."
15[22:30] * 13Chad`Winters smirks slightly. 1"I was tired and needed a nap."
15[22:31] * 13@Jennifer is in the training room, trying out a few new techniques on a training bag.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl squints at him, then peers over the edge again. "Ah 'eard 'is 'oice. 'Dad's'."
15[22:32] * 13Chad`Winters frowns. 1"You pretty sure about it?"
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> 'ike a 'uckin' spider. It 'rawls in yer mind. It was 'em."
[22:34] <13Chad`Winters> Darien, Xan and I thought it could be him. 6He runs his hand through his hair. 1"This just adds more credibility to that theory.
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts and leans back, guzzling her booze in response.
[22:36] <13Chad`Winters> You know what bugs me about one of our theories?
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wu'at?
[22:38] <13Chad`Winters> It means he probably orchestrated me meeting up with Eve in the hopes we'd get close.
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "'e stuck me wif Phaeton."
15[22:40] * 13@Jennifer keeps trying new things as she trains hard, focused on the bag.
[22:42] <13Chad`Winters> To think he'd move the chess pieces around to create a possible cure for himself. 6He shakes his head.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> 'old 'ou he was a 'astard.
[22:43] <13Chad`Winters> If only I would've listened to you in the first place.
[22:44] <13Kit> 6Chii groans from the stairwell. 1"Cherry...! You... up here..?"
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her nose. She seems forlong, as if thinking about Cran now, since she had many years with him that Chad didn't.
15[22:45] * 13Chad`Winters nudges Cheryl lightly. 1"Good news. You get the chance to punch him in the face now."
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> 'eah. 6* She calls out. "'eah, 'hii, up 'ere."
[22:48] <13Chad`Winters> How you holding up? 6He looks over at her.
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> 'eein three of 'ou.
[22:49] <13Chad`Winters> And here I thought you didn't like me, but you're seeing three of me now? 6He puts a hand over his heart. 1"I think I feel something here."
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him. "ou'll 'eel 'ain from fal'in." 6* She motions at the edge
15[22:50] * 13Chad`Winters grunts. 1"Bad time for me to quit pain kills, than huh?" He pulls a pill bottle out and rolls it along his fingers on his left hand.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes it, then leans over to snatch at it
[22:51] <13Kit> 6Chii stumbles out and leans on the edge of the stairwell, holding her head. 1"..D-Damn it. You're still drinking?"
15[22:51] * 13Chad`Winters lets her take it, watching her, more to grab her if she starts to fall.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds it at Chad. "'ive up the 'ills." 6* She opens them and starts to pop them so he can't take them, just nodding at Chii
[22:52] <13Chad`Winters> Stop, those are my important pills. 6He says blandly.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives him the bird
[22:53] <13Chad`Winters> Well atleast you won't be depressed.
[22:53] <13Kit> <Chii> H-Hey!!
[22:53] <13Kit> 6Chii staggers away from the stairwell. 1"Y-You're already fucked up, don't add more." 6She pauses, wobbling.
[22:54] <13Chad`Winters> They're anti-depressants.
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts, having popped a large amount. "'omin' from 'ou that's fun'ny."
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts the rest in her shirt at the cleavage level
[22:56] <13Chad`Winters> I'm gonna have to induce vomiting now aren't I? 6He studies Cheryl now.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Drag'oon.
[22:57] <13Kit> <Chii> Meaning she only vomits highly-destructive substances at projectile velocity.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii dangerously
[22:58] <13Chad`Winters> I need those back. 6He holds his hand out to Cheryl.
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> De'ressed 'uch?
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches in and tosses them at him, poorly. Probably aiming for Chad #2.
15[22:59] * 13@Jennifer finishes her excersizes, she sighs and heads over for a towel, looking around quietly as she does.
15[22:59] * 13Chad`Winters catches them. 1"Psychologist put me on them. Haven't taken one yet."
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snickers and begins to laugh in her guwaf laughs
[23:00] <13Kit> <Chii> So what do you need them back for..?" 6She gives up halfway over and just sits down crosslegged, looking confused.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* John sits in the rec room, watching TV, legs propped up on a table.
[23:01] <13Chad`Winters> I have my reasons. 6He looks back at her then over at Cheryl again. 1"You done laughing yet?"
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs, eyeing her bottle again
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* IT seems she's drinking something fruity, from the smell
[23:03] <13Chad`Winters> It seems to be helping atleast.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> 'hat?
[23:04] <13Chad`Winters> The psychologist thing. 6He waves his hand about.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ahh. 'uck 'em. Know nuffins.
15[23:05] * 13@Jennifer makes her way to the rec room, setting down her gym bag and plopping down on the couch.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* John nods once.
15[23:06] * 13@Jennifer blinks and smiles at him. "Hey."
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* John goes back to the HoloVid.
[23:07] <13Chad`Winters> Every small step helps I guess. Even if it's painful to admit.
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm.
[23:08] <13Chad`Winters> You've got a lot of people who care about you, Cheryl.
15[23:08] * 13@Jennifer looks over at him curiously. "So when do you think we'll get some more training in?"
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah know.
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> <John> Dunno
[23:12] <13Chad`Winters> I know telling you this is like telling me to smile more, but you should cut back on the drinking.
[23:13] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6* She eyes her drink, then him, then her drink
[23:14] <13Chad`Winters> I learned that the pills numbed the pain but it never got rid of them.
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah 'ike al'co'hol.
[23:15] <13Chad`Winters> Well, minus the slurred speech.
15[23:15] * 13@Jennifer looks at him a bit more, she smiles and eyes the holovid.
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl waves her fruity drink at him. "'akes 'ou easier to 'ook at."
[23:17] <13Chad`Winters> Yeah, the pain pills never did that to you for me.
[23:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks at that one
[23:18] <13Chad`Winters> Kidding. 6He smirks at her
[23:18] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> 'etter 'e. Ah'm 'uckin' hot.
[23:19] <13Chad`Winters> Eh.
[23:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl narrows her eyes now.
[23:19] <13Kit> <Chii> Huh, went to her ...head.
[23:20] <13Chad`Winters> You're kinda related to me. 6He eyes her. 1"Unless you want to admit that you think I'm good looking.
[23:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him, then shrugs, ehhing. "'etter 'an 'ost guys 'ere."
[23:22] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias sheds a silent tear while he rummages through his room.
[23:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* X would mock him, but her player barely remembered her coma in time
[23:23] <13Chad`Winters> I'll take that as a compliment, coming from you. 6He shifts his hands behind his neck. 1"Than yeah, you're totally hot."
[23:23] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> 'amn straight
[23:24] <13Kit> <Chii> I hit it.
[23:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl coughs on her alcohol now, staring at Chii
15[23:25] * 13Chad`Winters glances back at Chii. 1"I'll be sure you get you a medal."
[23:25] <13Kit> <Chii> Purple heart for that survival act.
[23:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's face turns a few shades of red now, peering away from them both
[23:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's a knock on Dias' door
[23:26] <13Chad`Winters> You make it sound like it was that bad that you classify yourself as a survivor.
15[23:27] * 13@Jennifer sits back and yawns a bit. "So... John, had any luck yet?"
[23:27] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Come in. 6His feet wiggle from under the bed, as someone knocks on his doorway.
[23:27] <13@DeathStar> <John> With what?
[23:27] <13Kit> <Chii> Touch・ Jerk.
[23:27] <13Chad`Winters> You should be honored that she even has sex with you.
[23:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* A woman with large glasses and a large datapad device walks in. "Are you Mr. Dias II?"
[23:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's expression looks even more embarassed and she begins to guzzle all her alcohol in one go
[23:28] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks to get up and slams his head into the bed, causing it to bounce slightly. 1"Oww..."
[23:28] <13Kit> <Chii> ..Now it sounds like you have a sister complex.
[23:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to peer over the edge, as if debating falling
[23:28] <13Chad`Winters> Half sister actually.
[23:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* The woman watches him, all serious faced
[23:29] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias crawls out from under his bed and stands up, looking over at her. 1"It's just Dias."
[23:30] <13@DeathStar> <Woman> Of course. I'm Rebecca. General Cheryl hired me to type cast whatever you say, as long as it's in this reality and not on assignments.
[23:30] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares at her for a moment. 1"Are you serious?"
[23:30] <13@DeathStar> <Rebecca> Yes.
[23:31] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I...Words can't explain how happy I am right now.
[23:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Rebecca nods, and types that into her datapad.
15[23:32] * 13Chad`Winters looks over at Cheryl. 1"The worse that'll happen is you'll be in a coma for 3 months and'll miss the chance to bash daddy's head in."
[23:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs.
09[23:32] <13@Jennifer> "With getting a girl on the team."
[23:33] <13@DeathStar> <John> Oh, work in progress. I think I'm wearing Lilith down, though
[23:33] <13Chad`Winters> Two weeks ago I would've told you to jump. Gotta love psychologist, huh? 6He smirks at her
[23:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him again now, then rolls her eyes dramatically; she peers at her empty bottle sadly.
09[23:34] <13@Jennifer> "Mmm, she'll probably do anything if you convince her X wants her to."
[23:34] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wait...So you follow me all the time basically, right?
[23:34] <13@DeathStar> <John> That would be lying. Since I'm sure X doesn't want it
[23:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Rebecca nods as she types that in.
[23:35] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> So like if I get trashed and black out, you'll know everything that was said?
[23:35] <13@DeathStar> <Rebecca> Yes.
15[23:35] * 13@Jennifer smiles a bit more. "Are you against lying?"
[23:36] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias throws his arms up in victory. 1"HELL YEAH!. I gotta show you to John." 6He turns and steps out of his room and moves down the hallway to find John
[23:36] <13@DeathStar> <John> Only in certain scenarios.
[23:36] <13@DeathStar> <John> Lying to a woman is improper.
[23:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Rebecca follows him
15[23:36] * 13Chad`Winters motions to the bottle. 1"So what do you plan on doing next?"
[23:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 'hii, 'et me 'ore.
15[23:36] * 13@Jennifer looks deeply impressed. "That's... really cool."
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> <John> Thanks.
[23:37] <13Chad`Winters> She's even trained. Good to know you still crack the whip.
[23:38] <13Kit> <Chii> Y-You've already drank like... gallons! Doesn't your tank ever fill!?
[23:38] <13Kit> 6Chii blinks at Chad at the whip-cracking comment.
[23:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. She does look pretty wasted, though
15[23:38] * 13Chad`Winters leans over to Cheryl. 1"She's just jealous that she can't keep up with you."
[23:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> 'hild meta'blo'ism
[23:39] <13Kit> <Chii> Wh-what!?
[23:40] <13Chad`Winters> A shame.
[23:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods a few times
[23:41] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides into the rec room. 1"JOHN! JOHN!"
[23:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* John glances over the couch. "Dias! Dias!"
[23:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Rebecca steps in after him
[23:41] <13Kit> <Chii> Tch..!
[23:41] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I finally got my type caster!
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives her a grin. She stands up and moves to where Chii's at, flopping on her back and laying her head in Chii's lap
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> <John> Yeah? That one you mentioned Cheryl threw out?
[23:42] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods and motions to Rebecca. 1"Her names Rebecca."
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> <John> Heeeey. Sexy. 6* He compliments Rebecca. "Love the glasses and secretary outfit."
15[23:42] * 13@Jennifer blinks and stares. "She really... wow."
[23:43] <13@DeathStar> <John> How did you talk Cheryl into getting her?
[23:43] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I didn't. 6He shrugs. 1"She's just that awesome of a person.
[23:43] <13@DeathStar> <John> Huh.
15[23:43] * 13Chad`Winters shifts his feet over the edge so he's facing the two now. 1"You two are so cute."
[23:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl mumbles about Chad taking a jump.
[23:44] <13@DeathStar> <John> So, you plan to take her to bars so you can get wasted and see what you say afterwards?
[23:45] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks his finger at John. 1"That's what I said!"
[23:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* John nods a few times. "You're a visionary, Dias."
[23:45] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Infact...6He looks at Rebecca. 1"Go ahead and tell him.
15[23:45] * 13@Jennifer looks between them still, staring a bit in disbelief.
[23:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Rebecca nods, scrolling up. "Wait...So you follow me all the time basically, right? So like if I get trashed and black out, you'll know everything that was said?" "Yes." "HELL YEAH! I gotta show you to John."
[23:46] <13@DeathStar> <John> Duuuuuude
[23:46] <13Chad`Winters> You know I can't jump from here. It's an odd number of feet off the ground.
[23:46] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Totally.
[23:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs dramatically, shifting her face to nuzzle into Chii's lap. Like a drunk with a pillow
[23:46] <13Kit> 6Chii stares down at Cheryl, then at Chad-- then at Cheryl. 1"..."
[23:47] <13@DeathStar> <John> I wonder if she'll write what you say during sex.
[23:47] <13Chad`Winters> You afraid she'll puke there? It's possible
[23:48] <13Kit> <Chii> Whatever.
[23:48] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Good question. 6He looks at Rebecca. 1"Well?"
[23:48] <13@DeathStar> <Rebecca> I prefer not to have to witness or hear such sounds
[23:49] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Afraid of sex?
[23:49] <13@DeathStar> <Rebecca> .... Do you want to watch other people have sex, sir?
15[23:49] * 13@Jennifer is busy looking at a book, which she pulled out from her pouch, hiding her face as they talk.
[23:49] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well god did create porn.
09[23:49] <13@Jennifer> "Wrong question to ask him."
[23:50] <13@DeathStar> <John> Heeey. Maybe you can have sex with him, Rebecca, and type cast at the same time
[23:50] <13Chad`Winters> Afraid of a little pda?
[23:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* John begins to randomly say words, causing Rebecca to type them
[23:52] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Coolest gift ever.
[23:52] <13@DeathStar> <John> Indeed.
[23:52] <13@DeathStar> <John> Hey, we four should go out drinking
[23:53] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Four? 6He looks around
04[23:53] <13@DeathStar> <John> Jennifer.
[23:53] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> She's old enough to drink?
15[23:53] * 13@Jennifer blinks a little. 'I'm 16.'
[23:53] <13@DeathStar> <John> Maybe not, but if she plans to join the unit in the future, she might as well drink
[23:53] <13@DeathStar> <John> Can't call yourself an adult if you can't handle a beer, I say
[23:54] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Give me 30 minutes and I can have a fake id.
[23:54] <13@DeathStar> <John> Awesome.
[23:54] <13@DeathStar> <John> Better make Rebecca strike that from the record, though
09[23:54] <13@Jennifer> "I... really don't like the idea of drinking."
[23:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* John peers at her and shrugs. "Alright, us three it is, then."
[23:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* John hops up
[23:55] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks and looks over at Rebecca. 1"What he said. Strike that from the record."
[23:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Rebecca nods and does so
15[23:55] * 13@Jennifer sighs a bit. "Sorry..."
[23:56] <13@DeathStar> <John> No problem. Have fun, kiddo
[23:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* John waves a bit and moves out with Dias and Rebecca, discussing what all they can do now
[23:57] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I need to check on X before we leave.
15[23:57] * 13@Jennifer frowns a bit and sits back, crossing her arms.
[23:57] <13@DeathStar> <John> Sure.
[23:57] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Rebecca, type cast John for awhile. I'll meet you guys at the front door.
[23:58] <13@DeathStar> <John> Come on, Rebecca. We have a lot to talk about. 6* Rebecca sighs at her future employment
[23:59] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias makes his way to the medical bay
13[00:00] * Day changed to Monday, November 17th 2008.
Session Time: Mon Nov 17 00:00:01 2008
[00:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina is still in the medical bay room, looking over data like Caduceus used to do
15[00:00] * 13Chad`Winters stands up now finally as he looks at the two. 1"Take good care of her, Chii."
[00:01] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps inside and moves over to X's bed. 1"Any change?"
[00:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens one eye. "If 'ou 'un 'nto 'ad, be'car'ul."
[00:02] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> She seems to be sleeping better, but she's still not up. Her mind just needs time to come to terms with whatever it saw
15[00:02] * 13Chad`Winters stares at Cheryl for a moment. 1"Huh?"
[00:02] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> The good news is that I don't think she's suffering any physical ailments like clone degradation
[00:02] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> So she's getting better?
[00:02] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dad. Be. Care. 'ul.
[00:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods to Dias.
[00:03] <13Chad`Winters> I'll be sure to disable him so you can work his ribs.
[00:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts once, then closes her eye
[00:04] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's great. 6He glances at some of the stuff hooked upto her then down at her again. 1"She's strong, she'll punch through this in no time."
[00:04] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I think you're right
[00:05] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Of course I am. 6He beams proudly.
[00:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at him. "Mind if I talk to you about something."
[00:06] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Am I going to need my type caster? 6He looks over at her.
[00:06] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Um, I don't think so. I just wanted to talk to you about Marcus a moment
[00:07] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I swear I didn't mean to get him so drunk he couldn't get it up.
[00:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina offers a slight smile, but then looks serious. "If Marcus didn't go with you all when you leave this reality, would you think less of him?"
[00:07] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks. 1"Seriously?"
[00:08] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes, seriously.
[00:09] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Of course not. I never expected him to anyways. 6He leans against X's bed. 1"When a man has to choose between a life of protecting and a life of love, always choose the love. Superhero Rule #201
15[00:09] * 13Chad`Winters moves off the roof and inside, heading to the front door
[00:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks relieved, a genuine smile of happiness. "That's good to know. I know he wants to go with you all, and that he's worried that he'll be thought less if he didn't. But at my age, I'm ready to settle down and start a family."
[00:13] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> He's my best friend, if not more than that at times, I'd never expect him to put me before you. I'd probably punch him in the face if he tried to than bear hug him out.
[00:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods a few times. "Thank you, Dias."
[00:14] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> You really thought I'd be all mad? 6He leans forward to study her now
[00:15] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> You and Marcus have a unique friend that I've never wanted to come between. I know there's a good chance you two might not see each other if you went and he didn't.
[00:16] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> It just means I'll have to teach him everything about being a superhero before I leave.
[00:17] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll make sure you boys have plenty of time, then. And to make sure we have a wedding before you all go, so you can throw him a bachelor party.
[00:17] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Can I hire strippers?
[00:18] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> As many as you like. I'll make sure to do the same for my girl's night. 6* She says seriously
[00:18] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> You could always hire me.
[00:18] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll think about it. It could be fun
[00:19] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hey, think you could do something for me?
[00:19] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes, what do you need?
[00:19] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ask X and Lilith if she wants to join you girls. It'll be good for her, I think
[00:20] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Don't worry. I always intended to ask X to come. She's a good girl.
[00:20] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> And seeing you as the stripper might be funny. 6* She notes with amusement
[00:20] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Haha. Nice. 6He beams with pride. 1"You do realize the trouble she can get into, right?"
[00:21] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I have an idea.
[00:22] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Just wanted to make sure. She does like her vodka tho.
[00:22] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> We'll have plenty of drinks. Hopefully all the girls won't molest you. I know a few of us get friskier when intoxicated
[00:23] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Really? 6He leans forward, clearly interested
[00:23] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmmhm. Not too much or the girl gets sleepy, though
[00:24] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> We talking about you?
[00:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina giggles a bit. "I am one of the girls who do get friskier when drunk. I can tell Cheryl does, too, if she has a lot and actually gets effected."
[00:28] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I really don't know if X get's that way.
[00:28] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I haven't been around her much when she's drinking, but the few times I have been, she seems less guarded, which is certainly a step.
[00:28] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, she definetly loses the urge to kill me. It's nice.
[00:29] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I wouldn't worry too much about that. 6* She says with a knowing smile
[00:30] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Huh?
[00:31] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> She's like a child who wants attention. You're the most important thing to her, since they told her to kill you, but even if she doesn't want to do that, it's how you two met. She probably doesn't want you to get bored with her or find her uninteresting if she told you that she didn't want to kill you.
[00:32] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> ...Is my attention span that bad?
[00:32] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> You do move forward, always looking to the horizon. I think sometimes people might view that as you don't look back, if they're not beside you.
[00:33] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> You know why we have eyes in the front, right?
[00:33] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> So you can move forward?
[00:35] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> So we can see look forward.
[00:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, smiling. "Don't worry. I know you never look away from your friends - they're ahead of you always, no matter what you tackle next." 6* Dias comm begins to beep from John, who's talking about asking Rebecca out to eat if he doesn't hurry
[00:38] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks and fumbles for his comm. 1"It's not easy for me to leave everyone behind, but I'm doing it so that nobody else has to. I gotta go, Johnny's callin me."
[00:39] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Have fun, Dias. And just so you know, John would be proud of the man you are today.
[00:39] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I know. He told me all the time.
[00:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles once more, then goes back to watching the data
[00:39] <13@DeathStar> -END-'
