[20:02] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.4.22
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> Location: HQ; Conference Room
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits on the table, speaking with everyone once more - moments ago a location was set up for Xanatos to lead Erevis to. A resturant close to the destroyed sector 8 of Tokyo.
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> They clearly hope to pull the two of them to the destroyed area and away from prying eyes, is my take on it. 6* She notes.
[20:03] <13@Xanatos> Gives them a better chance to scope out any possible traps as well.
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* John plays with a device on his thumbs, trying to free them. "You'd think they didn't trust us."
[20:04] <13Chad`Winters> It'd make sense. It allows them to use the surrounding area to their own advantage.
[20:04] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek shifts, arms crossed, looking annoyed. 1Probably incase Revi puts up a fight. They want to make sure they can handle it.
[20:05] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Makes it harder for us to get to them.
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head slightly in thought, wearing a blouse and jeans today.
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve Summers sits in the medical bay, doing whatever work she's been doing lately.
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well. I guess it's up to us to decide if we still want to take this route
[20:06] <13Chad`Winters> I think I've come up with what Cran was trying to steal from Janus.
15[20:06] * 13@Xanatos takes in a breath and lets it out. 1I can always just not show up. It would be safer for all of us.
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Chad. "What?"
[20:06] <13Chad`Winters> It's similiar to Ragnarok.
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> And Mom's joke hits home.
[20:07] <13Chad`Winters> And us without a fairy to save us this time.
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
[20:07] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Nothing a little hyperspace can't handle, eh?
[20:08] <13Chad`Winters> Wind powered it last time.
[20:08] <13Chad`Winters> Well, he was designed to.
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> <Chery> Speaking of hyperspace, should we bring that Sam girl into this?
[20:08] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> No.
[20:09] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> If she can fight, I don't see why not.
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not think she would work against us. I have refrained from telling Ao, however, as I do not want her to ruin our plans trying to protect me
[20:09] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> She's a liability, luv. She can't fight and throws out hyperspace beams like she's throwing rocks. I don't want her in the way.
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She glances at Chad for his take on it
15[20:10] * 13Chad`Winters holds his hands up.
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You always got an opinion, big bro. Give it to me
[20:11] <13@Xanatos> I think she deserves a chance. 6He notes finally. 1We've just got to hope her link doesn't alert Ao to what is going on.
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Blah.
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* John strains to free his thumbs
15[20:11] * 13Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"The only plus is she can use hyperspace, the downside is it's not in unlimited supply like Drasek. Xan brings up a good point also, Ao could be looking through her and key in on it."
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. Since Erevis wants Ao out of the loop, we won't use her.
[20:12] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Oh i've got a limit mate. 6He adds for Chad.
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> A very tiny limit.
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Zephyr now
[20:12] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody hell bit. Kick a man while he's down.
15[20:12] * 13Chad`Winters smirks.
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grins
[20:13] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I would not ask how you know the size of his limit.
[20:13] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Oh you know bit. She likes to peek.
[20:13] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I bet it's womans intuition.
[20:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her face.
15[20:14] * 13@Xanatos clears his throat. 1Well. Are we still going through with this?
[20:14] <13Chad`Winters> When it comes down to it, two things are going to happen. They're going to come after us, or we're going to come after them.
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Whatever. I say we take the fight to them. Xanatos - Erevis, if you're willing, go to the resturant
15[20:14] * 13@Jennifer steps into the medical bay, looking around before heading over to some supplies and looking for something.
15[20:14] * 13@Xanatos takes in a breath and glances to Erevis.
[20:14] <13Chad`Winters> There's one problem tho.
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Define problem....
[20:15] <13Chad`Winters> If they are trying to build something like Ragnarok, we're handing them a power source.
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, that would be why they probably jumped at getting Erevis
[20:15] <13Chad`Winters> It's why Xanatos isn't allowed to talk without thinking ahead.
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Burn.
[20:16] <13@Xanatos> Maybe next time you should hold my hand, Chad.
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* John frees a thumb. "Hah!"
[20:16] <13Chad`Winters> I don't even think I could help you.
15[20:16] * 13@Jennifer looks up, only after grabbing something does she notice Eve is in the medical bay.
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Then I will have to be careful in not letting them use me.
[20:17] <13@Xanatos> I could just show up by myself. Tell them I couldn't get Erevis. Maybe I could bring Dias or something.
[20:17] <13Chad`Winters> On the plus side, if that's the case, Erevis won't be in harms way.
[20:17] <13Chad`Winters> They'd think something was up.
[20:17] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias beams proudly.
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Who would want Dias?
[20:17] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias slumps.
[20:17] <13@Xanatos> That's my point.
15[20:17] * 13@Xanatos snorts. 1Burn.
[20:17] <13@Xanatos> NRP: *Marcus. ;_;
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* John pats Dias on the back. Rebecca seems to enjoy typecasting that
[20:18] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias sniffles a little, wiping at his nose
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We can't change plans now, Xanatos. We'd lose our lead. The fact they're taking this risk shows they're desperate.
15[20:18] * 13@Jennifer walks over, curious, to see what Eve's doing, carrying whatever it is she grabbed with her.
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve appears to be working on genetics
[20:19] <13@Xanatos> Alright. Alright. I've just had time to think on it, and I don't like it anymore. I wish I would've sad someone less...important to me. 6He gives a half smile.
[20:19] <13@Xanatos> NRP: said*
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers toward Xanatos.
[20:19] <13Chad`Winters> How romantic of you.
[20:19] <13@Xanatos> Oh go choke on one, Chad.
09[20:19] <13@Jennifer> "Looks complicated." *she tilts her head, staring at it*
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And I fondly remember the days of you giving me Red Fruit
[20:20] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts his hands behind his head again. 1"Those were the days."
[20:20] <13@Xanatos> ...alright i'm leaving now. 6He stands up.
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> It is. 6* She says in a tone that indicates not to bother her
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> <John> What's Red Fruit?
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises as well.
[20:20] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll teach you it's wonders in time.
[20:21] <13Chad`Winters> Everything relys on you Xanatos, no pressure.
09[20:21] <13@Jennifer> "Oh, okay." *she says in a tone that indicates she gets it, she grabs a chair and sits herself down, pulling off a glove on her hand and starting to pull the skin right off her hand*
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds out a small little device. "Swallow this, Xanatos."
15[20:21] * 13@Xanatos reaches out to take it. 1So no flowers, then?
[20:21] <13Chad`Winters> We prefer a back up plan
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'd never give you flowers.
15[20:22] * 13@Xanatos puts it into his mouth and then jerks his head back, swallowing.
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's a bomb - if you're detected, we have to blow you up.
[20:22] <13@Xanatos> Maybe I can take them out with a bang, then.
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> He really is suicidal.
[20:23] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> He might make a good super hero...
[20:23] <13@Xanatos> If it really is a bomb. Then you would be killing Erevis too. Could you live with that, Zephyr?
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl waves her hand for Xanatos and Erevis to go. Erevis bows once, then steps out of the conference room
15[20:23] * 13@Jennifer works on some basic maintenance on her fake hand, affixing some new fake skin to the parts that got ruined in the last few skirmishes, before pressing a few parts to it and smiling in satisfaction, the skin stretching and looking normal when she's done.
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> We'd tell her to get away from you
[20:23] <13@Xanatos> Ah of course. 6He turns and moves to step out, walking after Erevis.
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll try to get some satelites to get footage of that area - but chances are Cran might be watching them
[20:24] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Well this is bloody perfect. Everyone knows our plans always fall apart. 6He notes with a sigh.
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> PFft.
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I actually have been thinking and I think I came up with something, Chad, based off our conversation the other day.
15[20:25] * 13Chad`Winters looks over at Cheryl. 1"Yeah?"
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I was thinking that they took Caduceus since the Weapons Project is now under the V.I. Umbrella, but maybe they'd want his healing touch specifically.
[20:26] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> What exactly would they need the healing touch for? To stop the clone degradation?
[20:26] <13Chad`Winters> It'd make sense. The man was able to come back from the dead.
[20:26] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It would be useful.
[20:27] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Well yeah, it would be useful, but he has limits.
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Jones, I've decided you're a clone spy.
[20:27] <13Chad`Winters> I doubt they care about his limits.
[20:28] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Cheryl than looks at Marcus, than looks at Cheryl. 1"Huh?!"
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* John pauses and eyes Marcus now, as if believing her. Zephyr peers at Marcus
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> The food lately has sucked. First corndogs, this time nothing. He's a clone.
[20:28] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I only take orders.
[20:28] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I got him! 6He hops onto the table and leaps at Marcus to tackle him
[20:29] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus holds up his hands, but it tackled by Dias.
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* John leaps after Dias. "I'll help you."
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Warren would die if he knew the unit was in this shape
[20:29] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Get off i'm not a sp-6He grunts when John lands.
[20:29] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves to kneel on Marcus to pin him when he's landed on by John, causing him to squeel in pain
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* John throws up his fists.
[20:29] <13Chad`Winters> He's just pop more pills.
[20:30] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> ...he really a spy?
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I doubt it
15[20:30] * 13Chad`Winters looks at Cheryl. 1"Just wanted to see him get crushed by a dog pile?
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "It makes my day a bit more merrier."
[20:30] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus tries to punch Dias in the nose and John for that matter. 1GET OFF ME!
[20:31] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias howls in pain as he's hit in the nose.
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* John throws out a heroic punch. "I'll get him for you, Dias."
[20:31] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Huh. I like the way you run things, Cheryl.
[20:31] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus head snaps back and then hits the floor and he seems to be unconcious.
[20:31] <13Chad`Winters> My lil' sister, the sadist.
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> <John> I think we won.
[20:32] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias grumbles something as he rubs his face awkwardly
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> Location: House of D
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore makes food in the kitchen, having opted not to team up today since Drasek had the TAW4 crew. She cuts a carrot.
09[20:33] <13@Jennifer> * Sammael sits in the living room, quietly working on her datapad.
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's a knock at the door
09[20:34] <13@Jennifer> * Sam looks up, she looks around for anyone else the shrugs, going to get the door.
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore turns to get the door, then eyes Sam going. She goes back to her carrots.
09[20:34] <13@Jennifer> * Sammael opens the door.
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* As Sam opens up the door, she would see none other than Darien Starr, leaning against the doorway, his hair a mess and his white shirt dirty and his pants looking as if he got into a dirt fight. "Sam?"
09[20:35] <13@Jennifer> Sam> "...Yes? Why are you knocking on your own door?"
[20:35] <13Kit> 6Dawn peers over from the table, staring. It's a good question.
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien grimaces, holding his side. "Injured. Need help."
[20:36] <13Kit> 6Dawn gets up, closing his datapads for the moment and walks over toward the door and Sammael.
15[20:36] * 13@Jennifer blinks a bit in surprise and moves to help him in. Moving a little cautiously.
09[20:37] <13@Jennifer> * Sammael
03[20:37] * Jennifer is now known as Sammael
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien shifts to lean against Sam with his weight, wincing again.
15[20:38] * 13@Sammael moves him over to the couch, "Dawn, can you get some first aid equipment?"
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* He then shifts and tosses something into the living area by Dawn - which immediately goes off. A stun grenade. Sam would feel a prick in her neck
[20:38] <13Kit> 6Dawn frowns slightly and leans over, eyeing Darien, studying him for visible injuries.
[20:38] <13Kit> 6Dawn jerks, blinking, then teeters over wincing as he hits the ground.
15[20:38] * 13@Sammael gasps in surprise and pushes away from him in shock.
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien steps back, a smile now. "What's wrong, Sammy?"
09[20:39] <13@Sammael> "You're... a clone..."
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Fiore moves in for the living area immediately now. Darien twists and reaches into his pockets, throwing out another grenade for Fiore, who bats at it. It detonates however before it gets near Darien, knocking her back.
15[20:39] * 13@Sammael stumbles back, raising her hand to fire hyperspace at him.
04[20:39] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe. 6* Sammael's body begins to feel like weighted lead. Darien leaps to the side to avoid
[20:40] <13Kit> 6Dawn focuses on the pain of hitting the floor for the most part, trying to remain conscious enough to have some semblance of what's going on.
15[20:40] * 13@Sammael gasps and stumbles a little, shaking her head. "B-Bastard..."
04[20:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien moves forward and grabs Sam's wrists, lifting them at the ceiling. "We need you, Sammael."
15[20:41] * 13@Sammael struggles feebly. "Wh-Why... me..."
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Back up plan.
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien twists and throws her over his shoulder as Sam begins to black out completely. He eyes the twins. "Now would be the time to get you both, but you weren't on my orders list this time."
15[20:42] * 13@Sammael struggles to get free of him, "N-No... not going to be... used..."
15[20:42] * 13@Sammael blacks out, going limp.
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien moves to go out the back door to avoid Dawn altogether.
[20:43] <13Kit> 6Dawn gazes up at Darien, twitching his finger tips some, trying to awaken most his nerves back as quickly as possible, but finds some solace in the clone not making a move on Fiore.
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> Location: HQ
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her comm as it beeps. "Ma'am, we got Darien Starr outside."
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* She glances up at Chad and Drasek, with Zephyr looking surprised. John is busy apologizing to Marcus
[20:45] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek perks up and leans forward. 1He look beat up?
15[20:45] * 13Chad`Winters raises an eyebrow at Cheryl. 1"Best be cautious."
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl taps a button to bring up the camera feed outside. There's a Darien, looking like he's rolled in dirt.
[20:46] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus sits there rubbing his forehead. 1You could've held back a little. Sheesh.
[20:46] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands there wiggling his nose.
[20:46] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Could be a clone, we have a way to check besides the obvious dogpile?
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Blood tests. It would take a while.
[20:46] <13Chad`Winters> Safe words.
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You guys have safe words?
[20:47] <13Chad`Winters> After we were attacked by the clones the first time, yeah.
[20:47] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody hell I forgot about that. Tell them to ask the safe word.
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I thought you all argued about colors and we never brought it up again
[20:47] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Oh that's right. I was green if that matters.
15[20:48] * 13Chad`Winters sighs, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pinches her twitching eye. "Awesome."
[20:48] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses. 1But if he says a color, that might mean it's him, right?
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl taps her button to talk outside. "Darien. What's your safeword?"
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien squints, peering at the camera. "I don't have a safeword."
[20:50] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Oh well. It was nice knowing him.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* John leans in, whispering. "That means he's a clone, right?"
[20:50] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't know.
[20:50] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Why don't you two go jump on him and punch him too.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> The real Darien Starr had a safe word.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien stares a few moments, then shrugs. "Yeah, you got me. I'm a clone."
[20:51] <13Chad`Winters> We could always stop his heart and see if he turns into dust.
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> <John> Psst. Do clones admit they're clones?
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl EYES Chad now.
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You think that would work?
15[20:51] * 13Chad`Winters shrugs
[20:51] <13Chad`Winters> I'm not an expert on clones.
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'd be all for it, but if he was the real Darien, then Ariel would smile at me.
[20:51] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Wait, smile?
[20:52] <13Chad`Winters> Might as well let him in.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't ask.
[20:52] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I would if I was a clone
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chad, then nods, tapping a button. "Escort him in."
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> <John> Are you a clone, Dias?
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guards aim at Darien and wave him inside. He moves in
[20:52] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> No I'm not a clone
[20:52] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> We really do need to get those safe words worked out, don't we?
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> <John> But if you were a clone, you would admit it. So clearly you're not a clone.
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Safe words are for pussies. That can be mine if you want to know
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr squints
09[20:53] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer steps out of the medical bay, wiggling the fingers of her fake hand a bit as she makes her way along the halls.
[20:53] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> You two make my head hurt.
[20:53] <13Chad`Winters> You are what you eat I guess. 6He rubs the back of his head. 1"If we marked ourselves somehow, it'd work the same way.
[20:53] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Booyaa.
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She eyes Chad.
[20:54] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek snorts. 1What you eat, mate? Brilliant.
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pinches the bridge of her nose.
[20:54] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Careful Zeph, Chad'll get you.
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> At least I get laid, you two jackasses.
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, I'm staying far out of this one
15[20:55] * 13Chad`Winters gives Cheryl a sympathetic smile
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien is escorted to the medical bay for now
[20:55] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Well, i'm sure if I went gay I could get loads of blokes.
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hardly. There's barely any real men on this team
[20:56] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Wow Cheryl. Really?
[20:56] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> She said barely. 6He nudges John and points at himself.
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're taken last time I Cehcked.
[20:56] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Right. Thanks. 6He gives her a smile.
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* John points at himself as well. "Me too. This reality needed me."
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds up a hand when her console beeps
15[20:56] * 13Chad`Winters slides a blade into his left hand and he slides it along his right hand, cutting into it.
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Xanatos and Erevis are in the area.
[20:57] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Yeah?
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hits a button, bringing up the satalite feed.
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> Location: Resutrant
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers about silently as she sits down at a table outside.
15[20:58] * 13@Xanatos sits down across from her.
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> You feel tense.
[20:59] <13@Xanatos> I am. Glad you could come out here with me.
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* A waiter moves over to get their drinks. Erevis lifts her head. "Tea will suffice."
[20:59] <13@Xanatos> Water. 6He says, classic cheapskate.
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* The waiter bows and steps back out
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. So you are glad I am here? 6* She notes dryly.
15[21:00] * 13@Xanatos takes in a breath, glancing up. 1Well, I'm always glad to spend time with you.
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. I think I would prefer if it were less dangerous time, then. 6* She cups her hands together, appearing calm, though she seems distracted
15[21:01] * 13@Xanatos nods slightly and sits up, nodding once. 1Yeah. I don't blame you. Maybe after this is all over we can start meeting regularly.
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> That would be nice. 6* The waiter brings their drinks, setting them down. He moves off again
15[21:03] * 13@Xanatos takes a drink of his water. 1You think they'll ever find Darien's body?
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Darien Starr is resourceful. 6* She takes the tea, peering at hesitantly.
15[21:04] * 13@Xanatos eyes the tea, then her. As if telling her that she doesn't have to do it. 1Yeah. You're right.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> We are all resourceful, I imagine. 6* She cups her tea and brings it up to her lips, drinking it quietly, closing her eyes
[21:05] <13@Xanatos> Yeah. You're right. 6He repeats, watching her.
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis sets it down. "Bitter." 6* She folds her hands in her lap, sitting there now, peering at him
15[21:05] * 13@Xanatos frowns. 1I'm sorry. I could have the waitress get you some sugar.
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems somewhat amused, yawning, looking droopy.
03[21:06] * Jackieness (Psy@h50.16.40.69.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
03[21:06] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
15[21:06] * 13@Xanatos tilts his head. 1Are you ok?
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once. "I am fine" 6* She then promptly falls asleep, somehow not falling into the table.
15[21:07] * 13@Xanatos eyes her carefully, then glances around slowly.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* The waiter steps back out a moment later. "Come on." 6* He tells Xanatos, moving over to pick up Erevis and put her over his shoulder
15[21:08] * 13@Xanatos stands up and nods. 1Maybe I should carry her. She's my responsibility.
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> <Waiter> We don't trust you that much yet. 6* He begins to move for the destroyed zone.
[21:08] <13@Xanatos> Well at least you're honest. 6He moves ater him.
[21:08] <13@Xanatos> NRP: after*
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> Location: HQ
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches them eating at the resturant, then a figure moving back out and picking up Erevis, heading for the destroyed zone
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> There they go
[21:09] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> ...well at least that was harmless enough. I hope it stays that way.
[21:09] <13Chad`Winters> You're still keeping tabs on Darien, right?
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> My guards are in there with him right now.
[21:10] <13Chad`Winters> Paranoid, remember?
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up. "Lets get to the shuttle. They'll be out of range of the satalite in a bit and if we want to follow them, we need to get on their trail."
[21:11] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Right, let's go then.
[21:11] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus stands up, need any snacks for the trip? I could work up a mean bag of potato chips.
[21:11] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll grab X. 6He hops up and makes his way for her room
[21:11] <13@Xanatos> NRP: Snacks from then on is marcus talking.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rises to her feet, moving and exiting the conference room. John gets up and poses, moving after Cheryl. Zephyr stands up, then follows.
[21:12] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stands up and moves after Zephyr
15[21:12] * 13Chad`Winters steps out after SPoC, heading for the medbay to let Aya know he's leaving
[21:12] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek shifts and moves out after SPoC and Zephyr.
[21:13] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus stands up and then steps out, moving towards the medbay too.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl enters the hanger finally, stepping up to the shuttle.
[21:14] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias knocks on X's door.
15[21:14] * 13Chad`Winters stpes into medbay.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* X lifts her head. She opens the door, peering at Dias, already geared up. "Are we going, then?"
[21:14] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> They're on the move.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve peers over, as does Darien, who's in a medical bay. Aya is in another room, going over data for Chad
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* X nods, then ripples directly to the hanger.
[21:14] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Well this is going to be a brilliant trip, i'm sure. 6He notes as he moves up the shuttle ramp.
[21:14] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps in after X
[21:15] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves upto the shuttle and inside, sitting down
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks up and takes the co pilot seat, flicking switches to get things ready. John springs into a seat.
[21:15] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel heads to the shuttle, not bothering with a ripple today.
[21:15] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances in then pauses. He leans back out, moving off again.
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> <John> It's a team up between both teams. This must be big.
[21:15] <13Chad`Winters> They took the bait. 6He moves to the other room and upto Aya.
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Bait?
[21:15] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Yes, it is very big.
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien peers in after Chad, curiously
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> <John> Like, this big. 6* He shows 10 inches.
[21:16] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> That is big.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> <John> Oh yeah.
[21:16] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek eyes the two when he sits down. 1Think I miss Fiore's company. Nice and quiet.
15[21:16] * 13Chad`Winters leans upto Aya, telling her whats going on and squeezes her hand.
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, hugging him. "Becareful."
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flicks her comm. "Jennifer, get to the shuttle in 1 minute if you want to come along."
15[21:18] * 13Chad`Winters steps out of the room. 1"You coming?"
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Who?
09[21:18] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer shows up in the hangar, rushing onto the shuttle.
[21:19] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Look at that. She made it.
[21:19] <13Chad`Winters> I figured out what they wanted the data for. Get better quick, we're going to need you when they make their move. 6He moves out, rushing for the hanger
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> With 1 second to spare. Not good commitment.
09[21:20] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer takes a seat and shrugs. "I was nearly on the other side of the base..."
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Can I come? Am I still under suspicion?
[21:20] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC looks over at Cheryl than at Jennifer
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6 *X takes a seat
15[21:20] * 13Chad`Winters stops. 1"It was your plan, I wouldn't see why not."
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien nods once, then grabs his ruined coat jacket, eyes it, and leaves it behind, following
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> So Xanatos actually is doing it?
09[21:21] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer straps herself in, blinking a little as she notices Natalie looking between them.
15[21:21] * 13Ariel heads after Darien as he heads after Chad, "...are you sure you're up to this?"
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl speaks to SPoC. "The kid thinks it's her duty in life to join the reality hopping team. I need to know now if she's going to get herself killed."
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah.
15[21:22] * 13Chad`Winters checks his gun briefly as he eyes Ariel then Darien. 1"You alright with Ariel doing this?"
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> She can handle herself.
[21:22] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC nods. 1"If that is what you want."
[21:22] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves upto the pilots seat and sits down, powering it up.
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Cheer up. She fucks up today, she won't get on that team ever.
[21:23] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Reality hopping team? Sounds fancy.
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts on her headset.
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien steps into the hanger and moves up the ramp of the shuttle.
[21:23] <13Chad`Winters> I see. 6He moves along and into the hanger, his right hand grabbing his datapad.
09[21:23] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer seems dead set on ignoring the possibility, she sits back, checking over her sidearm.
[21:24] <13Chad`Winters> How'd you manage to survive anyways Darien?
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets out a breath, her mood darkened again talking about the team
15[21:24] * 13Ariel takes a seat, wondering what that was supposed to mean.
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> If I told you that, it would take away the charm and mystery.
[21:24] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody hell mate, you look like shit.
[21:24] <13Chad`Winters> Hmmm. 6He taps one more time on his datapad and takes a seat in the back.
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien rolls his eyes at Drasek, sitting down. "You stay inside a building blowing up instead of rushing after clones."
[21:24] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> We all aboard.
[21:25] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Clearly i'm the smarter bloke.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Clearly.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, hit it.
[21:25] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> One of these days i'll get your fortune mate, one of these days. 6He notes with a sigh.
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stretches, lenaing in her seat, whispering to SPoC. "I can help Jen mess up so she can't go, if you want."
[21:26] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias lifts the shuttle up, closign the ramp. He takes off out of the hanger
[21:26] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC blinks and looks over at Zephyr, whispering back. 1"That would not be nice."
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, do you want her to go?
[21:27] <13Chad`Winters> I-I am unsure.
[21:27] <13Chad`Winters> NRP: SPoC
09[21:27] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer holsters her gun and pulls out another one, an odd looking one she got from Chii, fiddling with it a bit and sighing before putting it away.
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs her datapad, trying to keep an eye on the satalites.
[21:28] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> You think that git will remember to make with the plant magic?
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No idea. If they get in a shuttle, it won't matter.
[21:30] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Huh. Hope they don't do that then. We'd be screwed.
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes them step out of satalite view
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Penis.
[21:31] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly eyes Cheryl. 1"Balls."
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias now. "This ain't a contest."
[21:31] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh. Sorry.
15[21:32] * 13Chad`Winters crosses his arms as he waits
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl taps her headset. "We're getting a signal from Alliegheri."
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* She flicks a switch for the shuttle comm to so all can hear it.
04[21:33] <13Kit> <Dawn> Starr. Nab Sammael.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien blinks at that one.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I did what?
09[21:33] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "...A clone?"
[21:33] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> You nabbed Sam, it would seem.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Darien in the back, then the controls.
[21:33] <13Chad`Winters> Interesting.
[21:34] <13Kit> <Dawn> Clone. ...Stun grenade.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why the fuck would they--fuck.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rakes her fingers through her hair
[21:34] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> What? I'm missing something.
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's can use hyperspace, too.
[21:35] <13Chad`Winters> The more hyperspace they can get their hands on, the increased odds of success.
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> For Ragnarok.
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* John holds up his hand. "I'll be Thor."
[21:35] <13Kit> <Dawn> <C> ...Not ordered. Retrieve sister. Same people. Though.
15[21:35] * 13Ariel scowls. She was assured that idea wasn't right.
[21:36] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Oooh. That seems pretty annoying.
09[21:36] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer rubs the back of her head and sighs a bit. "Great..."
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That would mean that Erevis might be expendable.
[21:36] <13Chad`Winters> Erevis is far more suitable than Sam is.
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Erevis is more of a fighter, too
[21:36] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Oh bloody hell. I told you someone would happen.
[21:37] <13Chad`Winters> Keep her drugged.
[21:37] <13@Xanatos> NRP: something
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. Lets hurry in any event. Think we should tell the wife?
[21:37] <13Chad`Winters> She's pregnant.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then we don't tell the wife.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns at that.
[21:37] <13Chad`Winters> I'm just saying. It's not my choice if you tell her or not
[21:38] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Wait. Revi's preggers too, I thought.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What, she's fucking pregnant again?
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts her hand to face.
[21:38] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> ...oh this is just bloody fantastic. 6He throws up his hands.
09[21:38] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "That's a lot of babies..."
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Jennifer like she's stupid
[21:38] <13Kit> <Lilith> Apparently this ring of people is quite fertile.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You're telling me I gave a fucking pregnant woman over to the fucking enemy?
[21:39] <13Chad`Winters> I may have forgot that part.
[21:39] <13Kit> 6Lilith stares off into space. 1"Under normal circumstances, this would be celebratory."
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> How the fuck do you forget that?
[21:39] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> I thought you knew, luv. I really did.
15[21:39] * 13Ariel rubs her head. Damn oversights.
09[21:39] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer rubs her face.
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs the back of his head. "I take a day off and this happens?"
[21:40] <13Chad`Winters> Don't put all the blame on me, everyone else forgot to mention it too.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* X seems to watch everyone get all worked up blandly.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I mentioned it. Just that someone was too drunk to hear.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives Zephyr the bird
[21:40] <13Ariel> "...this is like old times."
[21:41] <13Kit> <Lilith> This is not a time for in-fighting.
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't quite remember this being like old times.
[21:41] <13Chad`Winters> Now you're calling me old, too? Now I see where Zephyr gets it from.
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck fuck fuck fuck
[21:41] <13Kit> 6Lilith stares at them getting side-tracked down memory lane.
[21:41] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Fuck old times. Revi could be in trouble. Screw the plan, let's just get in there and get her out.
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl motions at Dias. "Boosters>"
[21:41] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Now that I can understand. 6He hits the boostesr
09[21:42] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer checks that she's properly strapped in and just closes her eyes.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* John smashes against his seat when they're turned on
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:42] <13Kit> 6Lilith lurches back with a blink as the acceleration starts-- losing her footing and hitting the back panneling of the shuttle near the entry, shifting instantly back into the large malamute dog form and whimpering.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> Location: Ruined Tokyo Sector 8
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* The waiter slips into a shuttle that's hidden under debris, laying Erevis down in a chair
15[21:43] * 13@Xanatos eyes the shuttle as he gets in, tilting his head. 1What model? 6He moves to ste up the ramp.
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> <Waiter> What? I don't know
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* He gets in the pilot seat and begins to power it up
[21:44] <13@Xanatos> Pity. You should never fly a shuttle without knowing what it is.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* The waiter gives him an odd look, then lifts them up and begins to fly them. He reaches over and hits a button. There's a sound of a power source humming
15[21:45] * 13@Xanatos moves up to sit down in the co-pilot's seat, pausing. 1Unless you don't trust me. 6He motions to the seat.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <Waiter> I don't.
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* He picks up his comm. "I got the girl. No problems so far. Yeah. I'm in cloak mode. Even if they're watching us, they won't be able to track us now."
15[21:46] * 13@Xanatos gives him a slight shrug, moving to sit down behind him.
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* He nods. "Understood." 6* He sets the comm back down
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> <Waiter> We're going to our HQ. Our leader is eager to meet you
[21:47] <13@Xanatos> Well that'll make two of us.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> Location: The Shuttle
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her datapad. "There's no fucking sign of the shuttle anywhere."
[21:48] <13Chad`Winters> So how does a shuttle suddenly disappear?
[21:48] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Maybe it got shot down.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Went underground, or it's invisible.
[21:49] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, totally happened.
[21:49] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Spiffy flying if it went underground.
09[21:49] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "Flew out of our range of tracking?"
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I can turn on the tracer in Xanatos, but if they detect it, they might kill him
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl muses on if that's worth the risk
[21:50] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloke seems suicidal enough. 6He notes.
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Some could say the same for a lot of us
[21:50] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Helps when it's hard to kill you though. 6He muses with a smile.
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her face, then turns it on. "He'd rather protect Erevis, so I'll risk him."
[21:50] <13Chad`Winters> We want to risk it? Be better if we could wait until we knew he was at ther base.
09[21:50] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "Shouldn't we wait a bit on that? If we risk that we might as well wait and be sure we get the location and not a shuttle moving along."
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And if we wait too long, we might never get Erevis back
09[21:51] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer looks at Chad and blinks a bit, marvelled she thought along the same lines as him.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Pregnant woman
15[21:51] * 13Chad`Winters nods.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives Dias directions
[21:52] <13Kit> 6Lilith huffs, lying on a spare seat next to X, now buckled even if in dog form.
[21:52] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias adjust his course.
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> You have to consider that they know this is a trap either way. Xanatos giving up Erevis is so far out there, it's hard to begin
[21:52] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Darien's right.
[21:53] <13Chad`Winters> If they think they're in control, they'll risk it.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms, leaning back.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Are they in control?
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl puts a finger to her headset. "Cockbite. FUCK."
[21:53] <13Chad`Winters> Cran always has some measure of control on things.
[21:53] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes Cheryl again. 1"Now what?!"
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Our base is under attack
[21:54] <13Chad`Winters> Aya...6His eyes go wide and unholsters his gun aiming it at Darien.
[21:54] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Oh yeah. They're in control mate.
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien jerks at that, eyeing the gun. "Uh, if I was behind that, wouldn't I be there to like, do stuff?"
[21:55] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek looks between the two. 1I still say he should know the bloody safe word.
[21:55] <13Kit> 6Lilith makes a low rumbling sound at mention of the base being under attack.
09[21:55] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer frowns, usually she'd be getting into some sort of trouble about now back at the base in this situation.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> They're attacking it with clones and gears, Chad. Trying to breach it. Our defenses are holding it off.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds her face, since Chii's back there.
[21:55] <13Chad`Winters> Whens back-up coming? 6He keeps his gun trained on Darien
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Not in time. Our forces are spread thin
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien just sits there, not bothering to raise his hands
[21:56] <13Chad`Winters> Drasek. Can you make it back there?
[21:56] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Uh. Out of a shuttle, mate? I don't think so.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks tense. X frowns now
[21:57] <13Chad`Winters> Hyperspace and all and you can't even do that?
[21:57] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Gee, let's be a git about it. That'll make me use all my energy just to run back to the fucking base.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> He'd use up most of his rune to get there.
[21:58] <13Chad`Winters> X, what's the farthest you can open a ripple from here?
09[21:58] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "Could the attack be meant to force us to back off from what we're doing?"
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> <X> Not that far. It would take dozens to get back.
15[21:58] * 13Chad`Winters clicks his tongue, clearly looking agitated.
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Do we go back or not? 6* She sounds strained now.
[21:59] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Revi's more important to me, no offense Chad. So that's my vote.
[21:59] <13Chad`Winters> Comm the twins and tell them to get over there.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> They've been after those two forever. And Aya. You're putting them all in one spot, Chad.
[21:59] <13Chad`Winters> Zephyr, tell Megumi and Ao to head over there.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can't tell Megumi to go there---she's.... 6* She hesitates.
[22:00] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> She's what, now?
[22:00] <13Chad`Winters> ...Great, now what.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Pregnant.
[22:00] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> OH right.
[22:00] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody hell. I'll remember that one of these days.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't want her exerting herself. Her abilities could be harmful to both her and the child
[22:00] <13Kit> 6Lilith shifts, rubbing her forehead. 1"It is too bad there is no way to contact mistress Billy."
[22:00] <13Chad`Winters> Yeah...6He sighs, rubbing his face.
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes to give Dawn his marching orders.
[22:01] <13Kit> <Lilith> Are Megumi and 'Ao' inseperable?
[22:01] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well Raquels still there, she might be able to ripple everyone out
[22:01] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Ao won't help if it doesn't involve revi.
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> We tell AO, she's more likely to go find Evis.
15[22:01] * 13Chad`Winters nod sto Drasek
[22:01] <13Kit> <Lilith> I see.
[22:02] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel eyes Dias... sitting on the shuttle.
[22:02] <13Kit> <Lilith> I believe, then, this is a situation known as a 'clusterfuck.'
[22:02] <13Kit> 6Lilith nods complacently.
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She peers at Lilith. "A clusterfuck?"
[22:03] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Well then. I guess we hope they can defend themselves. That Chii is a tough bird, right?
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> <John> Psst. Dias. Raquel is behind you
[22:03] <13Kit> <Lilith> Yes. I overheard a patron in the bar speaking of such a situation.
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth
[22:03] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks back, jerking. 1"I should put a bell on her.
[22:03] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to X, "...I feel so unloved some times."
[22:03] <13Kit> <Lilith> There was a bell on Chii.
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> <X> Should I begin to ripple back?
[22:04] <13Chad`Winters> Will you be able to do anything when you get there?
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Now I think I should have stayed.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> <X> I can kill enemies.
[22:04] <13Chad`Winters> You be able to take me with you?
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes.
[22:04] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to Cheryl, "...should I accompany?"
[22:05] <13Kit> <Lilith> I will protect my mistress. No harm will come to Lady X whilst I remain even if she becomes weary and all I have are my fangs.
[22:05] <13Chad`Winters> Good enough. 6He lowers his gun and moves to the back of the shuttle. 1"Zephyr, stay safe and protect the others.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods a few times, looking like she wants to go, too
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can go, too.
[22:05] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Good luck, mate.
[22:05] <13Chad`Winters> You going to ok with that? 6He looks at Zephyr.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She hesitates, thinking of Erevis.
[22:05] <13Kit> <Lilith> Given Lady Chii's history, the more allies returning the more casualties may be created.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* X rises. "Let's make this fast. Dias. Stop the shuttle; ripples are stationary, after all
[22:06] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias brings the shuttle to a stop.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple to the ground and moves through it.
[22:06] <13Chad`Winters> Do what you think's best Zephyr. 6He moves through the ripple.
[22:07] <13Kit> 6Lilith rises partially. 1"Lady Chii is best fighting alo-- urk!" 6She chokes as the restraint and stop gags her when it constricts, she sighs and unclicks it. 1"I dislike travelling like this..." 6And moves through the ripple.
[22:07] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel heads after X
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Damn.
[22:07] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Wait. Why'd our other ripple person leave?
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* John thinks, then moves through the ripple. "Hot chicks going this way."
09[22:08] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "She wanted to go it seems..."
[22:08] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias watches everyone take off in the portal. 1"Geeze."
[22:08] <13Kit> 6A blade meets John's arrival with Lilith at the other end.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* John stops, eyeing the blade.
09[22:08] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "We're going to be outmanned at this rate."
[22:08] <13Kit> <Lilith> I had a feeling you might feel sympathetic to this nature. However, I believe it strategically sound you remain.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> <John> You sure know how to make a point
[22:08] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Cheryl and I are here. We're good.
[22:08] <13Kit> 6Lilith pauses, then attempts to smile. That forced one she makes when it's not really natural.
09[22:08] <13@Sammael> * jennifer blinks and smiles. "You're right Dias."
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> <John> Creeeepy.
[22:09] <13Kit> 6Lilith stops, then sulks slightly, looking miffed.
[22:09] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Well. We can't really move till they close the bloody ripple.
[22:09] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> And Draseks an excellent meat tank.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> <John> Here's how you smile. 6* He demonstrates.
[22:09] <13Kit> 6Lilith narrows her eyes, defeated. 1"Please reboard the shuttle before I demonstrate how you lose height."
09[22:09] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer eyes the ripple.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* John hangs head and walks back through
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes John coming back
[22:10] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> And now we got John back again.
[22:10] <13Kit> 6Lilith puts her weapon away and chases after her mistress.
09[22:10] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "Cool... got rejected John?"
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> <John> Lilith made me. 6* He scuffs the ground, then casually steps back through a moment later
[22:10] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> ...
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> This is getting to be...redundant
[22:10] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> A man following his heart.
[22:10] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody annoying is what it is.
09[22:10] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "...The only true path."
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* John chases after the girls.
[22:11] <13Kit> 6A lance meets John after a moment, Lilith twitching. 1"Persistent."
[22:11] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias waits for the ripple to close so he can take off
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* John jerks to a stop
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Get us moving. 6* X opens a new ripple, closing the other one
[22:11] <13Ariel> "I'm not sure it's his heart he's following."
[22:11] <13Kit> 6Lilith pauses, the old ripple disappearing.
[22:11] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias hits the boosters and takes off
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> <John> Hi.
[22:11] <13Kit> <Lilith> You win this round, however, there will be no dates later.
[22:11] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Hah. Ariel you're one pervy bird.
09[22:11] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "...Wh-What would he be following then?"
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> <John> Damn!
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien stares in shock
[22:12] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel heads through, opening the third on the other side.
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> His penis
[22:12] <13Kit> 6Lilith shifts and runs after X. 1"Perhaps another time when you learn to obey etiquette."
09[22:12] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "Ick."
[22:12] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC eyes Zephyr now
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mom said it, not me
[22:12] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC nods and eyes Ariel now
[22:12] <13@Xanatos> <Drasek> Still got that signal, luv? Or has it went 'dead' yet?
09[22:12] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "Yeah, Ariel is corrupting us." *she giggles a little*
[22:13] <13Ariel> "...no, I implied it. There's a difference."
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I still have it. 6* Her tone is emotionless right now
09[22:13] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer touches her forehead. "Implications... interesting. I'll have to remember that."
[22:13] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> She'll be fine, Cheryl.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Jennifer now. "Do you plan to imply stuff?"
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Yeah.
09[22:14] <13@Sammael> * Jennifer looks innocent. "I-I... maybe?"
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr wrinkles her nose.
09[22:14] <13@Sammael> Jennifer> "...Do you?"
15[22:14] * 13Ariel runs her head. This was going to be a long mission.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Uh, no
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> Location: HQ. Before Team Chad
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* The base walls shake as something hits it; alarms begin to go off
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers up from her book
[22:16] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances up, standing in the hallways. He pauses. 1Uhh. Shit that doesn't sound good. 6He hits his comm and turns, moving towards the armory. 1Kat. Meet me in the armory.
[22:16] <13Kit> 6Chii goes running down the hall toward Cheryl's office in something yellow and silver.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina frowns, then gets to her feet. "Do you have an ID?"
[22:16] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I-Oh piss. How are we supposed to defend ourselves if we can't get weapons?
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I think we're suppose to hide.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina exits the room as another shake of the base occurs. Lockdown begins to occur
[22:17] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Hide!? Who the fuck hides!? Ok. You hide, seriously, i'm going to see if I can find a weapon.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not going to hide if you're out there risking your neck. 6* She pens her comm to her hip
[22:18] <13Kit> 6Chii slides into Cheryl's office having been expecting the lockdowns to occur shortly once the alarms went off. She scours it for the monitors and such, examining with grinding teeth.
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya moves over and closes the medical bay doors, sealing them. She pulls out a gun and a grenade, setting the grenade up over the door edge. Then she moves and grabs a gurney, moving it to the back and hiding behind it
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Outside is a legion of clones of the team, and big Gears. And Phantasma.
[22:18] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves up to eye the armory door. 1Tch. I need my shotgun.
[22:18] <13Kit> <Chii> Shit, that things survived!?
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* The gears fire at the base hanger doors, trying to bust in
[22:19] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus hmms and then pauses, switching to find Chii's comm, 1Chii where the hell are you!? I need you to come let me into the armory!
[22:19] <13Kit> 6Chii pushes a button for the hall speakers. 1"Hey, we have incoming. Clones, gears and that fucking beta."
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* The door mocks Marcus; sealed with the best defensive door properties. A card reader is all there is
[22:20] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and tries to kick the door loose some, so he can pull it open.
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves down a hallway, having her trusty energy sword that was never taken from her
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Marcus' lockpick skill isn't high enough
[22:20] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> ...this is worthless. <Comm> CHII!
[22:20] <13Kit> 6Chii shakes her head at Marcus and works the terminal, seeing if she can open it from the office. 1"Shut the fuck up, goddamnit."
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Chii can indeed open the door
[22:21] <13Kit> 6Chii hits the access. 1"Hurry it up, we need to keep the place locked."
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ninja Chiis leap onto the roof and begin to set explosives
[22:21] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Thanks sweetie. 6He moves in to get geared up, letting Kat know the door is open.
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina goes to say something when the roof explosions begin to go off. It's followed by one of the Gears flying up and smashing down onto the roof, crashing in
[22:22] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus stumbles, holding himself up, he eyes his comm. 1Kat?! Are you ok?
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Chii would notice that the defense system appears to be erroring. Apparantly still whacky from last attack
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's no response to Marcus
[22:24] <13@Xanatos> KAt! 6He shifts to pull on a tact suit, grabbing supplies as he turns to rush out, heading towards the source of the collapse.
[22:24] <13Kit> 6Chii growls and pulls up multiple screens for viewing the outside, and then sets it up to work by manual touch from the datapad available. She begins manually targetting with the systems using her own touch. 1"Fuckers."
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* One of the clones eyes the guns firing at them, and turns to Phantasma. "Destroy whoever is in the General's office."
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Gear inside the building begins to do it's best to smash around, creating more damage.
[22:26] <13Kit> <Chii> Marcus, Kat, get out of there.
[22:26] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> What do you think i'm trying to do!? I need to find Kat first.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Gear smashes it's foot through the cafeteria, ruining Marcus' corndogs.
[22:26] <13Kit> 6Chii snarls and looks around the monitors, flicking her eyes back and forth to keep attacking in turn.
[22:26] <13Ariel> 6* The beta nods. "PHANTASMA ACKNOWLEDGE." 6It flies in the direction of the office, taking the railgun from its shoulder.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve Summers bumps into Marcus, looking rattled. "Marcus?"
[22:27] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus takes a step back from almost steamrolling Eve. 1Sorry I can't talk. Fiance in danger.
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> <Eve> I understand
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* The clones work on disabling the guns with fire of their own
[22:28] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> You need to get out of here. This place definitely isn't safe anymore. 6He reaches out to hand her a gun.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6 *Eve takes the gun, nodding.
[22:28] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts to move past her, running ahead again.
[22:28] <13Kit> 6Chii pauses, eyeing Phantasma zeroing in on her. 1"The hell? That thing knows the base layout!?"
[22:28] <13Ariel> 6* Stopping above the office, Phantasma diverts full power to its railgun. Aiming downwards.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* A hand grabs Chii and moves to yank her out
[22:29] <13Kit> <Chii> H-Hey!?
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* A figure drags her down a hallway; the door was opened it seems while she was distracted
[22:29] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma fires at the now empty room.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* The rail blast destroys Cheryl's office.
[22:30] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus skids to a stop and looks over his shoulder. 1Oh hey Eve!
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve looks back at Marcus
[22:30] <13Kit> 6Chii struggles a bit before staring at the explosion in shock, then peers back at who jacked her.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin stands there, a gun in one hand, looking about for an escape route.
[22:31] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I would uh, not use that gun. It's rigged to explode, incase you tried to shoot me in the back. 6He pulls out one more, probably his last Pistol and tosses it towards her, then turns and dashes off again, rounding a corner.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve stares at it, then at him, almost incredulously, and grabs the new one, eyeing it now, warily.
[22:31] <13Kit> <Chii> H-Hey! Let go of me!
[22:31] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma lands in the wreckage, looking around. "PHANTASMA DETECTS ZERO LIFE SIGNS."
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Shhh. If that thing scans you, it won't stop.
[22:32] <13Kit> <Chii> Then I'll destroy it." 6She hisses. 1"It got away last time."
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin reaches behind him and hands her a weapon. "No time. We need to move. They're only attacking this base while your team is busy chasing one of their operatives. They'll take them out once the base is done."
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin motions for Chii to follow him.
[22:34] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> KAT! 6He calls out, to the comm and just out loud.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* The gear walking through base walls and stuf, turns to face Marcus now
[22:35] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma activates it's comm, not seeming to have the sense to switch to internal. "OFFICE DESTROYED. PHANTASMA AWAITING FURTHER ORDERS."
[22:35] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> ...aw hell. 6He jerks to dash forward, moving down a hallway hopefully out of harms away.
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* One of the clones gives it the orders to destroy any survivors it comes across in the building
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Gear fires a beam at a wall, that causes it to blast out in front of Marcus
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin begins to move down a hallway.
[22:36] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus skids to a halt, falling onto his ass, he quickly begins to backpedal.
[22:36] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma climbs out of the wreckage, and walks along the roof. Searching the base for lifesigns.
[22:36] <13Kit> 6Chii scowls at Paladin, still not great on him, but nods and follows. She scoffs off to the side and mumbles, apparently wearing a yellow sundress and a straw hat with a red collar on for whatever reason, now holding a gun and looking to be out of some bad weekly comic.
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* A hand grabs Marcus and yank him back. Katrina peers at him
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> We need to get you out of yellow.
[22:37] <13Kit> <Chii> Wh-what?
[22:37] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus goes to open his mouth, eyes wide, she should probably stop the idiot before he lets them know where they are.
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> IT makes you easier to spot.
[22:37] <13Kit> <Chii> So does my white hair unless we're in metal hallways or snow.
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts her lips over his own, moving them into a closet.
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> ... Surly as ever.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves them to a window, to peer out, counting how many are out there
[22:38] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus is completely ok with that way of being silenced.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Gear smashes around, looking for them. Katrina leans back, taking a few breaths
[22:38] <13Kit> 6Chii moves with him and glances, getting a swift estimate, still gritting her teeth. 1"Bastards.."
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's a loud "FUFUFUFU" behind the enemy.
[22:39] <13Kit> <Chii> ...You hear that?
[22:39] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh my god. You're amazing. 6He breathes.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin leans to peer out, and all the clones turn to peer at it. Billy stands there, hands over a mouth, wearing her typical gothic lolita outfit
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I know. 6* She peers out now
[22:40] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus peers after her. 1That Billy?
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> I think it's time to let them meet the new and improved Cassandra Arakawa. 6* She motions to Cassandra next to her, who seems to be taller than before, and armed to the teeth with rail guns
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> I call her Robo Mama 2000
[22:41] <13Kit> <Freyja> ...Why 2000?
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy peers back up at Freyja. "It's what all god Asians like."
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> *good
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I think it is
[22:41] <13Kit> <Freyja> My god, you didn't make her 2000 across did you?
03[22:41] * Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Oh, I sure did. Her breasts now are bigger than before. And can reflect bullets.
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy fufufus again
[22:42] <13@Cassandra`> ...I feel stupid...
[22:42] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Think that will give us enough time to get out of here?
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I have no idea.
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* The clones aim at the three.
[22:42] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Only one way to find out. Of course...we could start fighting again.
[22:42] <13@Cassandra`> Oh, go away. *fires*
[22:42] <13Kit> <Freyja> Seventy-eight across..." 6She stares down at her chest and makes a slight whimper.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cassandra's beam zooms out and vaporizes 5 clones and part of the parking lot
[22:43] <13Kit> <Chii> You've got to be kidding me.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Hm. Maybe too much firepowert.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Gears immediately turn to aim at Cassandra.
[22:43] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma locks onto the sound of gun fire and runs in that direction.
[22:43] <13Kit> <Chii> Shit, that thing's moving to them..
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> We should help her.
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* At that moment, a ripple opens up and Chad's team arrives.
[22:44] <13Kit> <Chii> I hit that thing with more power than you could imagine and it's still in perfectly good working order.
[22:44] <13@Cassandra`> You think? And this is just ridiculous with the exagerrated body type. We are having a long family discussion when this get cleared out. *aims at the gears and fires*
[22:44] <13Kit> <Chii> The hell are we going to do?
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> I saved your life. I get to play mad scientist.
15[22:44] * 13Chad`Winters steps out, his eyes darting around. 1"X can you sense my daughter anywhere?"
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Her beam flies out and destroys half a gear.
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* And part of the base
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> <X> No.
[22:44] <13Kit> <Chii> Shit! Is she even trying to aim!?
[22:44] <13@Cassandra`> What are you powering things with?!
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Evil.
[22:45] <13@Cassandra`> ... ... ...right.
15[22:45] * 13Chad`Winters clicks his tongue and he grabs his datapad, bringing up the scanner in it and starts moving for the base
[22:45] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus jerks, holding himself and Kat up. 1Shit, if we don't move soon we'll be blown up by Cass.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods rapidly, then begins to move for an exit
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Okay, fire at them from an angle that won't hit the base.
15[22:45] * 13@Cassandra` sighs and steps to the left and then fires again.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> I make her a better gun and I get yelled at.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cassandra's attack vapes another Gear. The last two fire rockets at her
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin shakes his head in disbelief
15[22:46] * 13@Cassandra` tracks the rockets and fires at them.
15[22:46] * 13Chad`Winters looks for a way inside, his left hand pulling out Ebony
[22:46] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves with her, glancing around quickly for enemies as they move.
[22:46] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel stay close to Chad, figuring he has the best chance of finding Aya.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* The rockets explode.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* John rushes forward now and slams his fist into a clone's head, sending him flying back.
[22:47] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma opens its missile pods, unleashing a salvo towards the sound of fighting.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes the rockets coming in, and opens up ripples to defend those around her
15[22:47] * 13@Cassandra` aims at the remaining gears and fires.
15[22:47] * 13Chad`Winters moves inside the base, running along towards the medbay
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cassandra vapes both.
[22:47] <13Kit> 6Freyja eyes a salvo of missiles incoming from a source on the ground and raises a hand, forming a sphere of light.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* The gear inside the base steps a foot in Cassandra's path
[22:48] <13Kit> <Freyja> Hrmph." 6She begins to chant silently, kicking up air around here.
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* John spins and slams his foot into another clone, working on keeping them back. Four Marcuses surround him
[22:48] <13Kit> <Chii> Pally, snap out of it. We need to round up those under us. We have civilians, I think.
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts and finally gets outside.
[22:48] <13@Cassandra`> And who is this one?
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> I understand. I'll help civilians out. I'll let you handle the big one
[22:48] <13Kit> <Chii> Huh?
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* John waves at Cassandra. "Hi. I'm John McCormick."
[22:48] <13Kit> <Chii> Big one?
[22:49] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps outside to see four of himself fighting John. 1Hmmm. Looks like he might need our help.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin motions at Phantasma attacking the team
[22:49] <13@Cassandra`> ... ... ...aren't you dead?
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> <John> Well, no. I'm from another reality.
[22:49] <13Kit> <Chii> ...You want me to handle that?! You jacka-- f-fine..!" 6She runs down the hallway, holding her hat on.
[22:49] <13@Cassandra`> Billy...did you know about this?
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* John hits one MArcus clone with his fist to his nose, then brings his elbow back into another one
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Yes.
[22:49] <13@Cassandra`> And you didn't tell me?
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> You were dying. We didn't have much time to chat.
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> I guess this would be a bad time to mention there's a Paladin inside the base, oto?
[22:50] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus takes Kat's hand and moves forward to meet up with the others.
[22:50] <13@Cassandra`> I- *just sighs*
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* The gear puts it's foot in Chad's path
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> *Not Cass
[22:51] <13Ariel> Phantasma> *moves closer to the hole, then tosses a gear sized hand grenade inside* "...PHANTASMA NOT LIKE ENCLOSED FIGHTING."
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* John eyes the big grenade. "Holy fuck."
15[22:51] * 13Chad`Winters slides to a stop, eyeing the foot. 1"Raquel, ripple me past it.
[22:51] <13Kit> 6Freyja opens her eyes and moves her hand forward, distorting the sphere into a spear-like shape, launching it forward, after a second it splits into countless others, all shifting away from the initial and raining down where she saw the sword, attempting to both counter some of the missiles and attack in return. 1"Rain of Judgement."
[22:51] <13Kit> <Freyja> Billy, missiles." 6She gestures to the remaining incoming.
[22:51] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel quickly ripples before they get splattered.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy lifts a hand and fires beams at the missiles.
15[22:52] * 13Chad`Winters steps through after Raquel and keeps moving for the medbay
[22:52] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah I used to be able to do that. 6He notes with a dramatic sigh.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* John knocks back two clones.
[22:52] <13@Cassandra`> I'll worry about a redesign later. Who do you need me to blow away?
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> *shrugs* Clones?
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* They reach the medical bay doors, which have been broken in
[22:53] <13@Cassandra`> Aren't I a bit overkill for the clones?
15[22:53] * 13Chad`Winters quickly hooks his datapad up and he dashes through the doorways, sliding in low as he sweeps with his gun
[22:53] <13Kit> <Freyja> There are lots of them.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Point. Hit the guy that's on the roof talking in capital letters.
[22:53] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma stops after an explosion takes out another chunk of the base. Pausing to re-evaluate the situation. Damn people keep hiding.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* The medical bay looks trashed, as if there was a fire fight
[22:54] <13Chad`Winters> AYA?!
[22:54] <13Kit> <Freyja> I think I missed it.
[22:54] <13Ariel> Raquel> "..." *frowns, looking around* "...Aya?"
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* No sign of Ayas.
[22:54] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Hey John. You want help over there?
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* The clones begin to retreat now.
15[22:54] * 13Chad`Winters eyes' go wide and he starts looking around frantically.
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> <John> Nah. I'm good.
[22:54] <13@Cassandra`> ...the guy what?
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* He grabs a Dias. "ARE YOU A CLONE?" <Dias> Yep. <John> Cool
[22:55] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus watches them begin to retreat. 1Totally, you ran them off.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy points at the big Beta called Phantasma blowing up parts of the base.
[22:55] <13Kit> 6Chii moves into the open, quickly running up part of the destroyed wall and backflipping to get onto the roof, then twists and leaps onto a part of Phantasma, kicking it.
[22:55] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel closes her eyes, trying to sense any sign of Aya's... unique spirit.
[22:55] <13@Cassandra`> So, just blow him away. I cna do that. *aims and fires at Phantasma*
[22:55] <13Kit> <Chii> ...O-Ow! Sonofabitch!
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin leads some civilians out a side door into the parking lot
15[22:56] * 13Chad`Winters growls and kicks a chair.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Raquel would sense no signs of Aya.
[22:56] <13Kit> 6Chii stares at incoming rail charges and leaps to roll back inward of the base sections.
[22:56] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma reaches to grab Chii, "PHANTASMA SEE LITTLE O-" 6It detects the MASSIVE energy discharge and vanishes. Reappearing above Cass and the others. "......"
[22:57] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and glances up. 1Uh. That's not cool.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Booo
[22:57] <13Kit> <Freyja> ..." 6Stares at hovering Beta.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* John looks up as well
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <John> There's only one thing we can do. HEY, PHANTASMA. WANNA BE FRIENDS?
[22:57] <13@Cassandra`> ...its never easy, I guess.
[22:57] <13Kit> 6Freyja holds up her hands and forms her bow, drawing back the 'string' forming a light arrow that wavers with light energy. 1"...You are... not invited. Begone."
[22:57] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> What? John that won't work.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <John> You never know.
15[22:57] * 13Chad`Winters steps out of the medbay, slamming his fist into the door as he moves out.
[22:58] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma stops, eyeing John with the most WTF expression a beta can manage.
[22:58] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I will if it kills us.
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* John waves at Phantasma. "Come on. Team up with us."
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs, a hand on her face.
[22:58] <13@Cassandra`> ...if this ends up working...
[22:58] <13Kit> 6Freyja whispers a silent chant, charging the arrow and starting to swirl air around her again.
[22:59] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus coughs slightly. 1Uh. Offer it something. It needs an incentive to help, doesn't it?
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Gear that was hiding inside the base still tries to smash into the medical bay. As if a giant Gear could actually go missing
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> <John> Oh, right. IF you team up with us, you can blow up those cowards who ran off and left you here.
[22:59] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods once, good one.
[22:59] <13Ariel> Phantasma> *pauses* "...PHANTASMA NOT SHOOT NICE ONE." *turns its attention to the one aiming an arrow at it, pointing it's railgun back*
[23:00] <13Ariel> Phantasma> *looks back at John* "...PHANTASMA LEFT... AGAIN?"
[23:00] <13@Cassandra`> ...I don't believe that worked.
[23:00] <13Kit> 6Chii hops back up, eyeing her quarry having teleported. She stares, then whirls, eyeing the gear. She runs toward it, wailing and hurtles the gun toward the 'head'
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> <John> Yeah. But we won't leave you.
15[23:00] * 13Chad`Winters covers his head as the fist smashes into the medical bay. He looks back and starsts dashing down the hallway opposite of it
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> <John> Firey Chii will let you yank her tail.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy stares at John like one would a circus act.
[23:00] <13Kit> 6Freyja ends her chant, apparently ready. She just smiles at Phantasma, but doesn't loose the arrow yet, apparently listening to John, one of her ears adjusted toward him.
[23:01] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus hmms and starts backing up from Freyja.
[23:01] <13Ariel> Phantasma> "...PHANTASMA NOT LIKE SMALL ONE."
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> <John> Yeah yeah. She takes some getting use to. Come on. Lets say we start over.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* John crosses his arms, appearing serious.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Gear tries to track Chad
[23:02] <13Ariel> Phantasma> "......"
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> <John> I use to be their enemy, and they took me in.
[23:02] <13Kit> 6Chii slides to a halt, since the gear never paid attention to her, and waits on the overloaded gun to explode upon 'tinking' against the 'head.'
15[23:02] * 13Chad`Winters moves along the base, heading for an emergency exit
[23:03] <13Ariel> Phantasma> "...PHANTASMA THINK..." *gets hit in the head by an exploding gun*
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Gear's head is damaged.
[23:04] <13Ariel> Phantasma> "...PHANTASMA THINK THAT MUST HAVE HURT."
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> <John> Yeah. Ouch.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Gear tilts over and falls. A clone Chii scrambles out of it
15[23:05] * 13Chad`Winters steps outside one of the emergency exits, his right hand pressing against his forehead.
[23:05] <13Kit> <Chii> Oh no you don't, bitch!
[23:06] <13Kit> 6Chii descends from the building walls in a flip to a heel-drop kick for the clone
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin finishes getting people out. He begins to sneak off.
[23:06] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> You know what Cassie. If my stuff got vaped, i'm so kicking your ass.
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Chii's kick hits the clone and sends them falling down. They flail about, then crumble to ash
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* John looks back up at Phantasma. "So. You wanna join us, pal?"
[23:06] <13Ariel> 6* Phantasma looks over the others, then settles it's sights on Cass. "...PHANTASMA RATHER NOT FIGHT HER AGAIN AFTER UPGRADE."
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> <Billy> Fufufufu
15[23:07] * 13Chad`Winters taps his ear comm as he moves towards the front where the others are, trying to get a hold of Cheryl
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Billy motions at Cassandra's Size E. "She means that."
[23:07] <13Kit> 6Chii reaches out without looking and snatches her sunhat floating in the air by, then sets it back on.
[23:07] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus laughs once. 1Phantasma is pretty funny.
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* The comms still seem to be down. As he moves past, he would hear a sound near the base.
15[23:07] * 13@Cassandra` slaps a hand to her forehead.
[23:07] <13Kit> 6Freyja remains with the arrow trained on Phantasma, tilting her head somewhat.
15[23:08] * 13Chad`Winters jerks towards the noise, his gun aimed in that area. His eyes looking around
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* There appears to be someone in the debris
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> <John> So it's settle. Phantasma is one of us.
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> <John> And now we need to hurry back and help Cheryl.
15[23:08] * 13Chad`Winters moves towards the debris, to check it out
[23:08] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel still stays quiet, not wanting to give away their posistion to the enemies.
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve is sitting there, holding her stomach, blood seeping through her fingers.
[23:08] <13Kit> <Freyja> General Cheryl is on a mission?
[23:08] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> All of us? Man with Phantasma on our side that's like overkill or something.
[23:09] <13@DeathStar> <John> Hey, I think it'll be cool.
[23:09] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Wait. Can we all fly on his back? 6He glances up now to see if they can.
[23:09] <13Chad`Winters> Shit. 6He quickly holsters Ebony and slides his hand along his belt, pulling out some gauze and moves to press it against her wound.
[23:09] <13@DeathStar> <John> Hell yeah. Can we ride on you, Phan?
[23:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve winces, then tries to make a smile. "My knight in shining armor...again..."
[23:10] <13Ariel> Phantasma> *considers* "...PHANTASMA NOT FAST FLIER. TELEPORT HARMFUL TO ORGANICS."
[23:10] <13@DeathStar> <John> Aw.
[23:10] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a sigh.
[23:10] <13Kit> 6Chii moves down the halls to find a less strenuous way out of the base now that the explosions have stopped.
15[23:10] * 13Chad`Winters grunts, clearly not in the mood, he starts working on stopping what he can
[23:11] <13@Cassandra`> Must be similar to how Adam teleported aaround.
[23:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve closes her eyes now. "Go find Aya. They won't ... think twice about killing the girl."
[23:11] <13@DeathStar> <John> Adam?
[23:11] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> No clue. 6He shrugs. 1Cass and her old war stories.
[23:11] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus whistles, glancing up.
[23:12] <13Kit> <Freyja> Who else is here? I should tend to any wounds immediately.
[23:12] <13Kit> 6Freyja loosens her grip, the arrow and bow dissolving into the air with a glimmer and bowed reflection like within water.
[23:12] <13Ariel> Raquel> *frowns* "...Chad...?"
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances around. A moment later, Paladin walks up, holding a datapad.
[23:12] <13Chad`Winters> Shut up. 6He slides his bloodies left hand behind his back and bites the tip of something off and holds it above him, a small flare shooting off into the air. He continues working
[23:12] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and checks Kat over for wounds.
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina seems fine
[23:13] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> I think we can use this to get back to their base.
[23:13] <13Chad`Winters> Raquel, can you get her to a hospital?
[23:13] <13Kit> 6Chii moves out of the base and blinks at the sight of a flare. She starts to run for it.
[23:13] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a breath. 1Paladin?
[23:13] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Marcus.
[23:13] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, "I... yeah. It's not too far..."
15[23:13] * 13Chad`Winters shifts to help Eve stand.
[23:14] <13Kit> <Freyja> Where is Winter-- ..." 6She eyes a flare, then holds up a hand and snaps.
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve winces now.
[23:14] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances around. Then shrugs. 1So what is on that datapad?
[23:14] <13Chad`Winters> Sorry. 6He shifts her towards Raquel. 1"She'll get you to the hospital, alright?"
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Encoded information. If we can hack it, it might lead us to their base.
[23:14] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel moves to support Eve as best she can, and opens a ripple to take Eve to a medical facility
[23:15] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah but who can hack around here?
[23:15] <13Kit> 6Freyja appears near the three, glancing around, peering up at the flare first before looking for where it came from.
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Arakawa? 6* He glances at her
15[23:16] * 13Chad`Winters wipes his forehead and turns, running towards where the others are.
[23:16] <13Kit> <Freyja> Uh..?" 6She eyes Chad running past, then peers toward Raquel. 1Spirit?"
[23:17] <13@Cassandra`> IYes?
[23:17] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> Can you hack it?
[23:17] <13Kit> 6Chii bumps into Chad as he gets further from Eve and such.
[23:17] <13@Cassandra`> I can try. Been a while since I worked coutner-intel though.
[23:17] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel glances over quickly at Freyja, giving her a second to say something before she runs off.
[23:18] <13Kit> <Freyja> ...Let me help?" 6She stares at Raquel supporting someone larger than her. 1"What happened?"
[23:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* X returns to the others, holding Dias' valuables and her money.
15[23:18] * 13Chad`Winters stumbles slightly as he runs into Chii and he eyes her briefly before moving on towards the other, blood on his hands and ofrhead
[23:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Eve seems to be a bit out of it
[23:19] <13Kit> <Lilith> I feel as if our role was misplaced, mistress.
[23:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Paladin hands the datapad to Cassandra.
[23:19] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes.
[23:19] <13Ariel> 6* Raquel nods, and moves for the ripple, hoping Freyja can do anything she wants to while moving. "...I... she's hurt. That's..."
[23:19] <13@DeathStar> <X> John did more htan me. 6* She sulks
15[23:19] * 13@Cassandra` plugs into the datapad and starts trying to crack it.
[23:19] <13Kit> <Chii> ...Chad? Hey, why do you smell like blood?" 6She chases him.
[23:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* John is waving his hands, talking to Phantasma excitedly about something
[23:20] <13Chad`Winters> Because it is blood. 6He notes, his tone dangerous.
[23:20] <13Ariel> 6* The large beta listens intently.
[23:20] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus sits down on the ground, letting out a sigh. 1Well. This was interesting.
[23:20] <13Kit> 6Chii follows him, largely used to 'dangerous' looks and tones by now. 1"The hell happened?"
[23:20] <13@DeathStar> <Paladin> This is far from over.
[23:21] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[23:21] <13@DeathStar> Location: Xanatos' Shuttle
[23:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* The waiter taps his comm. "Yes? Understood."
15[23:21] * 13@Xanatos glances up slightly.
[23:22] <13@DeathStar> <Waiter> We're having trouble with an engine in the back that might cause our cloak to go out. CAn you move to the back and look at it for me? They said you're a pilot.
15[23:22] * 13@Xanatos eyes him and stands up. 1Hmm. I don't hear anything wrong with the shuttle. I have a good ear.
[23:23] <13@DeathStar> <Waiter> You want to prove yourself trustworthy or not?
15[23:23] * 13@Xanatos shakes his head slightly. 1Alright. 6He shifts to move towards the back, stepping out of view.
[23:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* As Xanatos moves toward the back to go to the engine area, the ramp begins to open on him, and a blast flies at him
15[23:24] * 13@Xanatos widens his eyes slightly and jerks to dive to the left, reaching out to grab onto something.
[23:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* As Xanatos grabs the side, the sucking pull from outside grows, the wind howling around them. The waiter aims again. "This is where your time with us comes to an end, Durran."
