[19:59] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.5.26 - Early Morning -
[19:59] <13@DeathStar> Location: Tower of the Damned
[20:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is with Alexander Cran in her office, going over passcodes and whatnot with him. She looks like she never slept last night, but for whatever reason, she seems upbeat. She also has a ring on her finger.
03[20:00] * Jackieness is now known as Cassandra`
[20:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits in the mess hall as Marcus gets his remaining items behind. Their honeymoon offically beginning that night
[20:01] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias is in his room, shuffling through his personal belongs to try and decide what he's going to bring
15[20:01] * 13@Jennifer is up early, she trundles into the shower of floor six for the last time.
[20:01] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC is up like normal and eating breakfast in the messhall
[20:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* John is in the training room, doing sit ups.
[20:01] <13Kit> 6Chii was in the training room-- but she fell asleep and is snoring ont he floor instead of working out.
[20:01] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane seems to be getting some last minute things taken care of, gathering up supplies in his workshop.
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* John pauses and nudges Chii with his foot.
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* X exits her room, having no belongings on herself.
[20:02] <13Kit> 6Chii grabs John's foot and cuddles with it.
[20:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* John stares, then awkwardly balances, unwilling to pull his foot away.
15[20:02] * 13@Cassandra` steps into the mess hall, arms crossed.
15[20:02] * 13@Jennifer quickly washes herself, sighing a bit as she looks down at the floor, thinking to herself.
[20:03] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves about in the back of the messhall probably going to swipe some of the tools that he's used since he started working there. His clothes and things are already packed up and sitting behind the counter.
[20:03] <13@Cassandra`> This is quite a honeymoon you have here.
[20:03] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel sits in the mess, writting a letter.
[20:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at Cassandra. "The real fun starts tonight,:
[20:03] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias throws things around and then leaps under his bed, his feet wiggling around
[20:03] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC looks over at Katrina. 1"What do you mean?"
[20:04] <13Kit> 6Lilith stands beside X-- and knowing her, she probably considers herself X's only belonging. Aside from money.
[20:04] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, just me and Marcus on vacation
[20:04] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC nods and goes back to eating.
[20:04] <13@Cassandra`> This place is going to start feeling kind of empty. Hell, I wonder if Cran will kick the rest of us out or something.
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I think he plans to turn it into his base of operations, so most likely. Me and Marcus have to go by tonight
[20:05] <13@Xanatos> 6* There's a glang in the back, Marcus probably fell.
[20:05] <13@Xanatos> NRP: clang*
15[20:05] * 13@Jennifer dries off and puts on something comforterable she brought with herself, brushing out her hair and fixing it before heading down to peek in the training room.
[20:05] <13Kit> 6Chii is clung to John's foot, snoring on the floor.
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes and moves with Cran to the hanger. The team has 10 more minutes before they have to gather there.
[20:06] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias shimmies out from his bed, holding his ratty brown cloth and his fighting gloves. He steps out of his room and begins to tie the cloth around his head ala headband style
[20:06] <13@Cassandra`> I'd better pack up too then.
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* X heads for the hanger, having no reason to linger.
[20:06] <13@Cassandra`> Well, is almost time for the others to head out...I'm going to go see them off in the hangar.
[20:07] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias hops slightly and moves to catch upto X and Lilith.
15[20:07] * 13@Jennifer walks over and looks down at the Chii-clingon attachment to John's foot. "New style?"
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> <John> Yeah.
[20:07] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps out with a bag on his back, holding a silver case in his right hand. Kane peers around and then moves for the hanger.
[20:07] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC finishes her food and brings her tray over to the counter setting it on there, she turns to Katrina. 1"I hope that your honeymoon goes well."
[20:07] <13Kit> <Lilith> Contact approaching six'o'clock, mistress.
[20:08] <13@Cassandra`> Want to come to see them off, Mr. and Mrs. Jones?
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets to her feet, smiling at SPoC. "Thank you."
[20:08] <13Kit> 6Chii bites John's foot.
09[20:08] <13@Jennifer> "It's cute." *she smiles a bit and pokes Chii*
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes. I think that would be nice.
[20:08] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel grabs her bag, and heads to the hangar solemnly
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* John flails at being bit
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers back at Dias, then opens a ripple and hops in
[20:08] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC bows slightly.
[20:08] <13Kit> 6Lilith jumps through with X.
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* X closes the ripple.
[20:08] <13@Cassandra`> Come on then. *heads for the hangar*
[20:09] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps out from the back, rubbing his shoulder. 1Damn I think I hurt my shoulde-Hey where are we going?
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Cran step into the hanger.
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Going to see the others off. 6* She tells Marcus, and she moves for the stairs
[20:09] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps for the ripple and sighs as he misses it completely. He kicks off the floor and breaks into a full speed sprint into the stairwell and down it
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* X steps into the shuttle
[20:09] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves after Katrina
[20:09] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and then moves after Kat, his shoulders slumping slightly.
[20:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* John reaches down and lifts Chii up, and then carries her against his shoulder, moving for the hanger.
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> <John> Hey, since when did she start wearing two rings?
15[20:10] * 13@Jennifer shrugs heading with John, grabbign her stuff in the hall as they go. "Dunno."
[20:10] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps into the hanger.
[20:11] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes sprinting into the hanger.
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander moves up the shuttle ramp and takes a seat. Cheryl does the same thing.
[20:11] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves up the ramp and peers around, taking a seat.
15[20:11] * 13@Cassandra` steps into the hangar.
[20:11] <13Kit> 6Lilith sits beside X, buckling them both.
[20:11] <13@Cassandra`> Hey, everyone. Leaving without a goodbye?
[20:12] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias sprints up the ramp and slides to a stop slightly in the shuttle.
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon enters the hanger, carrying a bag, and moves up the ramp with it. Cheryl peers back at Cassandra. "Figured we'd do that at the executive building."
15[20:12] * 13@Jennifer looks around a bit. "Eh... at least we weren't here too long."
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps into the hanger and stops to watch the others.
[20:12] <13Kit> 6Chii starts to rouse, rubbing her eyes and yawning, but then just shifts directions and snores.
[20:12] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus stops by Kat, rubbing the side of his head.
[20:12] <13@Cassandra`> Some of us have to pack before we're officially kicked out.
[20:12] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel stops to give Kat a hug, "...going to miss you."
[20:13] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over to the pilots seat and hops in it, his hands powering the shuttle up
[20:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, and returns the hug to Raquel. "Take care of yourself out there."
[20:13] <13@Ariel> Raquel> *forces a smile* "I will... enjoy your life together." *hurries to the shuttle*
[20:13] <13@Cassandra`> Good luck, guys. We're hold the fort back here and make sure you have an Earth to get back to.
[20:13] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Look at that. Knows you less than me and she hugs you and not me. Lame.
[20:14] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> It is probably because of your bo.
15[20:14] * 13@Jennifer sighs a bit. "No way to wake her when she wants to sleep... well.. nothing that we could get away with."
[20:14] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> My what?
[20:14] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Body Odor.
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* John moves up the ramp and sets Chii down in a seat.
[20:14] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> ...6He sniffs and frowns.
[20:15] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I am kidding.
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods and waves.
15[20:15] * 13@Jennifer stops before the ramp and gives Kat a hug.
[20:15] <13Kit> 6Chii sits up suddenly, punching at John instinctively.
[20:15] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> ...is no one going to tell me bye?
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* John is punched and falls over.
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Later, Jones.
[20:15] <13Kit> <Chii> ...Oops.
[20:15] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Bye. 6She looks at Marcus
04[20:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina returns the hug. "Good luck out there, Jennifer."
[20:15] <13Kit> 6Chii hops down on John, walking over him quickly for the ramp. 1"Kaaaat!"
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves to take her co pilot seat.
[20:15] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus smirks. 1See ya.
[20:15] <13@Cassandra`> So...you guys better come back in one piece, ok?
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* John lays there, twitching
[20:16] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel sits down near Cheryl and Cran, trying to catch Alexander's attention discretely.
09[20:16] <13@Jennifer> "I'll do my best." *she smirks and goes to hug SPoC*
[20:16] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias bounces with joy, clearly excited about this
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina kneels down as Chii comes closer.
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander peers over from his datapad at Raquel
[20:16] <13Kit> 6Chii leaps at Katrina
[20:16] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC blinks, not doing anything for a moment before she returns the hug. 1"Please becareful."
[20:16] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Dias. I swear to god if you don't tell me bye, i'm selling everything you own back here.
[20:17] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel smiles nervously, "Could... I ask you a favor...?"
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina catches the girl, rising with her to hug her. "I hope you enjoyed your hypothetical wedding."
15[20:17] * 13@Jennifer smiles up at her. "You too..."
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> What favor would that be?
[20:17] <13Kit> <Chii> Totally. Yours?
[20:17] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks up then quickly gets out of the pilots seat and runs down the ramp and over towards Marcus, leaping at him
[20:17] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> Loved it.
[20:17] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh fuck. 6He's tackled.
[20:17] <13@Cassandra`> That's a little too much male bonding...
[20:18] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias plops Marcus over into a hug and he plants his feet, lifting him up. 1"I'm going to miss my stupid little superhero in training.
[20:18] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel fumbles to pull out two of the letters she wrote. "Can... you make sure these are recieved for me...?"
[20:18] <13Kit> <Chii> I'm hoping we can get back soon, somehow, given all the weird shit we pull off, you know. So I don't want to say 'good-bye.'
[20:18] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus grunts. 1I'm not going to miss your fat ass squashing me.
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander takes the letters, peering them over. "I will."
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I understand. How about 'see you later'?"
15[20:18] * 13@Jennifer lets go and smiles a bit more, before heading to the shuttle. "Oh, yeah..." *she walks over and hugs Marcus* "Take care."
[20:19] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> L-Later Jen. 6He pushes Dias off of him, then pauses and gives him a real manly hug.
[20:19] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Make sure you take care of our stuff. Feed the plants and water the dog. Oh and don't forget to ring the sex gong. I'll hear it. 6He nods knowingly
[20:19] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel smiles, bowing her head in thanks. They're simply addressed to Caduceus, and Aya.
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks excited as she buckles herself in
[20:19] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Dude you'd better hear it.
[20:20] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias pats Marcus on the back and let's go. 1"Take care man."
[20:20] <13@Cassandra`> Hey, Katrina, your husband and his bets friend are being perverted again.
15[20:20] * 13@Jennifer grins and stops by Kat on her way back and hands her a small disc. "I got a recording of the song for you."
[20:20] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel ... did hand those letters to Cran.
[20:20] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Hurry up and take care of that shit. I'm going to be super bored without you all letting me fight things.
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm used to it. 6* She takes the disc. "Thank you."
[20:21] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Will do. 6He beams proudly and turns to move back onto the shuttle
15[20:21] * 13@Jennifer smiles and steps aboard, she props John up if he's still down from Chii's blow.
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* John is propped up
[20:21] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh. Tell John I said later. I'm sure you two will have a blast.
15[20:21] * 13@Jennifer grins and sits by him, sighing a bit.
[20:22] <13Kit> <Chii> Hey Kat, instead of see you later, how 'bout one for the road?
[20:22] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias waves his hand up as he steps on and he retakes the pilots seat.
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles, then leans in to Chii to give her a kiss
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns around in her seat to stare out the back of the shuttle at Chii.
[20:22] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and eyes Chii. 1...
[20:23] <13Kit> 6Chii peers over at Cheryl during it with a look.
[20:23] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Cheryl than back, making an uh oh face
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Harlot. I'll kiss Jones.
[20:23] <13@Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm totally cool with that.
[20:23] <13Kit> 6Chii breaks the kiss, snickering and hugs Katrina one more time.
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina returns the hug. "I'll be waiting for you to tell me everything you've seen."
[20:24] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus holds up two finger, and gives Kat a sidelong glance.
[20:24] <13@Xanatos> NRP: fingers*
[20:24] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane silently sits there, waiting.
[20:24] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias finishes prepping the shuttle and lifts it up slightly.
[20:24] <13Kit> <Chii> Well, you know me. It'll all be one big blue and hail of bullets, probably. But I'll try.
15[20:25] * 13@Jennifer looks over at Natalie again.
04[20:25] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC looks at Jennifer
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, then carries Chii to the ramp and sets her down on it
[20:26] <13Kit> 6Chii waves energetically, trying not to pout to start to bawl, even if she's showing signs of it anyway.
[20:26] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay, lets go.
15[20:26] * 13@Jennifer rubs the back of her head. "Miss you, Nat."
[20:26] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus bellows out. 1I love you Cheryl!
[20:27] <13Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I will miss you, too.
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Doofus.
[20:27] <13@Cassandra`> Take care.
[20:27] <13@Xanatos> 6* Marcus smiles and waves to them all.
[20:27] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias closes the ramp and pulls forward, heading out of the hanger
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* John picks up Chii and puts her over his shoulders. "Come on, my little firey love angel."
15[20:27] * 13@Cassandra` waves at them as the shuttle departs.
15[20:27] * 13@Jennifer looks up at Chii on John's shoulders and giggles.
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers ahead, then leans back, yawning once.
[20:28] <13Kit> 6Chii punches John in the neck with a scowl, her face scrunched up from trying not to cry. 1"Not funny."
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* John goes down
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> Location: Executive Building; Conference Room - The Team Only -
[20:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits at a table with everyone gathered, to go over what the mission is about finally.
[20:29] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans back in his chair, having sat down next to X.
[20:29] <13Kit> <Chii> To save Ben, isn't it?
15[20:30] * 13@Jennifer sits back, arms crossed, nodding a little.
[20:30] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers at Chii with a tilt of his head then looks to Cheryl.
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's part of it. Our agenda is to visit as many realities as we can and get their crystal first. Maybe John should explain this part a bit more.
[20:30] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Let's hear it John.
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* John leans back in his seat. "The organization I was part of us visiting each reality and getting the crystal from it. Apparantly whoever gathers enough crystals or something will have the ability to grant themselves enough power - our organization claimed it was to stop the spreading corruption in the multiverse. That stuff you guys ran into
15[20:32] * 13@Jennifer gives a bit of a shiver at that, remembering all too well.
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* John muses now. "My reality was completely destroyed by the stuff, too. FRom what I understand, a lot of realities have been."
[20:32] <13Kit> 6Chii glances over at Cheryl's hand.
[20:32] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sounds simple. How do we get the crystals out?
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> <John> Well. The organization I was in had these devices that located and extracted crystals.
[20:33] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> But we don't have one, right?
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, we don't. That's why John gave us the location of one of the organizations bases. The plan is to hit it and get one of their devices, and then get out
[20:34] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh, yeah. I guess that works. Thought maybe I could just use my powers to find it and pull it out.
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And hack their terminals to learn whatever we can about the crystals, and corruption...and .. 6* She doesn't need to add Ben
[20:34] <13Kit> <Chii> Wait, what? We're going to barge in on the group that has people like... him!?
[20:34] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. So we will be assaulting a base. Hopefully one of my devices will come in handy.
09[20:34] <13@Jennifer> "Are all the members of this organisation strong like John and the other Dias are?"
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Dias at 'him'.
[20:35] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias sets his chair down now, clearly focusing more. 1"I can only hope so."
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> <John> There's always special units that's strong as we are, yeah. But without the device, we'll have no way to locate the crystals.
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I personally like the idea of bloodying their nose anyway.
[20:36] <13Kit> <Chii> Well, yeah, but...
[20:36] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I agree with Cheryl. Let's let them know they fucked with the wrong people.
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> They have had sex with us?!
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then puts a finger to her temple
[20:36] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> .... 6He peers at Lemon oddly.
[20:36] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias facefaults.
[20:37] <13Kit> <Chii> No, Lemon...
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Oh.
09[20:37] <13@Jennifer> "Hmmm... it'd be easier collecting the crystals if they didn't know they had competition though, wouldn't it?"
[20:37] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Screw that sneak and grab stuff.
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. Easier. No way to find them would make it so much easier.
[20:37] <13Kit> <Chii> I think she meant stealth. What I could pull off.
09[20:38] <13@Jennifer> "I didn't mean it like that." *she frowns adn nods* "What Chii said."
[20:38] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Though I prefer to not bring attention to myself. I cannot argue with orders.
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> <John> Trust me. You won't be able to do stealth for long.
[20:38] <13Kit> <Chii> Frankly, it's a good idea. ...I don't really want them coming here to mess with the others because we 'bloodied their nose.'
[20:38] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at Chii, clearly full of himself now. 1"If you're afraid, you can wait outside.
[20:39] <13Kit> 6Chii completely ignores Dias, having brought up the other reason.
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> <John> The base is located in a reality with no other life and isolated. When you enter their reality, they'll know. Stealth won't work.
09[20:39] <13@Jennifer> "Well then I guess it's head on."
15[20:39] * 13@Jennifer smiles a bit.
[20:39] <13Kit> <Chii> But they shouldn't know who, right? That's what I'm worried about.
[20:39] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> They couldn't care about this reality anymore. No crystal and no way for us to find out they did anything. It'd be pointless and a waste of their time
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> <John> Unique energy signatures. They'll figure it out quickly.
[20:40] <13Kit> <Chii> It would suck if we smash and grab only to have them send a couple of guys like those two just to wipe out everyone here to let off some steam about it.
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> <John> But I think Dias is right. Attacking this reality won't matter to them.
[20:40] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel frowns. "They sound advanced..."
09[20:40] <13@Jennifer> "Well that eats up my other question."
[20:40] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I wouldn't waste my time. I'd send people after us instead and focus on getting the crystals faster
[20:40] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. I agree with Dias. It would make little sense to waste their time and efforts on a crystal-less reality.
09[20:40] <13@Jennifer> "If we're not risking the others, then there's no reason to worry."
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans back in her seat.
[20:41] <13Kit> <Chii> If it wasn't a problem to begin with we could just show and go 'hey, can we borrow a crystal-dar?'
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Chii oddly. "You want to do that?"
[20:41] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...best not advertise WHY we're there."
09[20:41] <13@Jennifer> "She's being sarcastic about asking them nicely."
[20:41] <13Kit> <Chii> You said it was an organization and your reality's already fucked. So... why can't we just join the organization and find crystals even faster working together?
09[20:42] <13@Jennifer> "...Or not."
15[20:42] * 13@Jennifer looks over at Chii, tilting her head.
[20:42] <13Kit> <Chii> How the hell'd you join?
[20:42] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias raises a brow. 1"Hell with that."
[20:43] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> ...
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* John looks back at the ceiling, arms crossed. He's silent a moment. "Dias saved me when my reality was being overrun. They trained me to fight like them, and their ideals sounded good to me."
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> <John> But if you join them, then you're basically going to go around with someone like Dias and you will have to kill whoever they tell you to kill.
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> <John> And not to mention they still won't give you Ben back.
09[20:43] <13@Jennifer> "And who knows what they want the crystals for, really."
[20:44] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Instead of taking them on in small groups, you'll just be surrounded by their strongest.
[20:44] <13Kit> <Chii> I'm really surprised, guys.
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at Chii.
[20:44] <13Kit> 6Chii frowns, leaning back. 1"For once, I'm not the one resorting to the most violent method."
[20:44] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's our best option.
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not going to join their group. Never. Plain and simple.
[20:45] <13Kit> <Chii> Judging from your attitude, you're only thinking about how pissed you are that they smacked you up.
[20:45] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> It is simply a matter in that you won't get what you want from them. They will not give you the child back, and they will not allow you to use that power.
[20:45] <13Kit> <Chii> Sneaking isn't an option, he said. He never said treachery wasn't.
[20:46] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Of course, because they will not expect that, at all.
[20:46] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sorry, but it goes against my Super Hero code. I'm not going to kill innocent people for them.
15[20:46] * 13@Jennifer blinks a bit. "I don't think there's shades of gray to this, they kill people, they took Ben, that makes them the bad guys. We're not like them."
[20:46] <13Kit> <Chii> It's an isolated reality, the fact that we have the ability to get there seperates us from most of the realities they kick around.
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> <John> Let me lay it down like this. 6* He tells Chii. "If you go by the lie you want to join them so they drop their guard, they'll still lock us up in the meantime, most likely, and take our weapons."
[20:47] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> The way I see it, we do your plan, they'll send people in faster than if we took them by surprise.
[20:47] <13Kit> <Chii> That's fine. I never said all of us had to. That's fishy.
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Unfortunately, all of us have to go.
[20:47] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at John, then Cheryl, than Chii again
[20:47] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's all or nothing.
[20:47] <13Kit> <Chii> But I find it's easier to blow open a door from the inside.
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* John just sighs and leans back, not saying anything else. He clearly is against how simple Chii thinks it'll be, but isn't willing to argue it.
09[20:48] <13@Jennifer> "The point Chii, is to be on the inside we'd have to do a lot of things that are below us."
09[20:48] <13@Jennifer> "Like murder innocent people, destroy people's homes, do what they did to us."
04[20:48] <13Kit> 6Chii stares at Jennifer.
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Let me discuss how the devices work first. They're designed to find the next reality, and send us all there - and designed so we don't backtrack unless we preprogram it in. The only reason we can go directly to this base is that John knows the codes and location
[20:49] <13Kit> <Chii> It takes like. Three seconds to blow a door open, not three months.
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, to stay as a group, we all have to go.
[20:49] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well I'm casting in behind the tried and true pounch them from behind method.
09[20:50] <13@Jennifer> "Preprogramming... so does that mean if we find some kind of safe haven we could go back there and use it?"
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> If there is ever such a thing.
15[20:50] * 13@Jennifer nods a bit. "Okay."
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Chii. "While your idea is plausible, Chii, from the way John describes it, if we pretend to be with them and they lock us up, getting out will be nearly impossible."
[20:51] <13Kit> <Chii> ...I'm really failing to follow you." 6She peers at Dias in annoyance.
[20:51] <13Kit> <Chii> Only need to get inside. It's a base, right? The doors aren't going to be wide open for us to waltz in.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> <John> Actually, we'll appear in it.
[20:52] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Interesting.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> <John> In a heavily fortified position.
[20:52] <13Kit> <Chii> Well isn't that convenient.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> <John> The only thing working for us is the element of surprise. No one knows the codes but those in the special units like me.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> <John> So, they'll probably be stunned when we appear before them
[20:52] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "It's... like their front door?"
[20:52] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I like surprises.
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> <John> Yeah. Basically.
[20:53] <13Kit> <Chii> You're saying Faker didn't just radio them in that you stayed behind?
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> <John> You have to consider the time gap between realities and the time it takes to change all the codes. Frankly, the way I was bleeding to death, he probably thought you all finished me off, most likely.
[20:54] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Pretty likely since he didn't seem to care
[20:54] <13Kit> <Chii> Well, I can't. Since I don't know the gap in time.
09[20:54] <13@Jennifer> "None of us do. So we need to stop assuming things."
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> <John> IF the codes don't work, they don't work
[20:55] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> We'll know right away atleast.
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> <John> Right
[20:55] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> And we goto plan B, using me to find the reality crystals
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks bored as she listens
09[20:55] <13@Jennifer> "We should probably be prepared for it to be a trap though, they could have left the codes open in the intention of snatching us up if we ever did follow."
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias now, then eyes the table. "WE have two options when we go through their front door. Fight, or try to trick them."
[20:56] <13Chad`Winters> Fight.
[20:56] <13Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
[20:56] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Though I find it hard to believe they will be tricked, it is possible we could get furthur with less losses incured if we try to trick them.
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> <John> A complicated trap for little ol' me.
[20:57] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> And you have to remember, I'm not smart enough for the trickery thing.
[20:57] <13Kit> <Chii> So we appear in the center of our own Tianenman Square. Joy.
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> If we do try to trick them and we get locked up, it'll be game over.
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Getting our equipment back will be harder.
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms, peering at Chii, as if waiting for her input
[20:59] <13Kit> <Chii> I've already said my piece, I'm outnumbered.
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. Then we'll go in fighting.
[20:59] <13Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms, twitching. 1"Only other thing I could suggesting is opening the door after I've had time to chant. I'm sure the only thing they'd expect less than us on their doorstep...
[21:00] <13Kit> <Chii> Is a big ass fireball.
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> <John> I love your fireballs.
[21:00] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias goes to comment on that than just stops, staring at John oddly
15[21:00] * 13@Jennifer giggles a bit.
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Here's the plan. We'll warp in, and take out everything in sight before they can recover. FRom there, we'll have to find a layout of the base so we can get their equipment and information on the crystals.
[21:01] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias shakes his head and looks at John. 1"You should be familiar with the layouts, right?"
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> <John> I don't know it all, no.
[21:01] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> We can test my device, though I am not sure if it will work properly or not. 6He notes.
[21:01] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh, thought they'd be similiar to their other ones
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> <John> I know my way to the crew quarters and mess hall.
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Kane, not knowing anything about his device to begin with, and looking annoyed at him bringing it up now
09[21:02] <13@Jennifer> "SO we know where not to go."
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* John makes a mock hurt face at Jen
[21:02] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to pull a device out and attaches it to his arm, he presses a button and a localized holograph pops up, showing everyone as dots in a room.
15[21:03] * 13@Jennifer smiles at him. "What I mean is, you know locations that'll waste time, it's something."
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And how does that work for a base you've never been in?
[21:03] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I have never been in this base before.
[21:03] <13Kit> <Chii> Does it do live mapping? Maybe Lemon could use it.
[21:03] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Or at least, not in this section.
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Chii curiously.
[21:04] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Yes. It does live mapping.
[21:04] <13Kit> <Chii> I mean, usually I keep it in my head, but when you're starting out, you scribe the general idea of shape and size of an area you're scouting.
[21:04] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias plops down in his seat and leans over to X. 1"This is awesome, the first thing we'll be doing is fighting."
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* X just eyes Dias
[21:05] <13Kit> <Chii> If Lemon could support that in her memory, she could map all that's seen and detectable, right? Of course it'd be more useful if she could local-hack and steal their own layout.
[21:05] <13Kit> 6Chii twitches some, peering at Cheryl. 1"...That's you and oniichan's department, though."
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> <John> Am I oniichan?
[21:05] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I have no idea.
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lemon would have to be at a terminal to even begin to download anything.
[21:06] <13Kit> <Chii> Isn't this the 'age of wireless?'
[21:06] <13Kit> 6Chii sighs.
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's a sex bot, not a datapad.
15[21:06] * 13@Jennifer looks over at John, then back at Chii.
[21:07] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> I am not saying this will give up specific directions. Though it will give us a more broader understanding of what to expect and how the layout it set up. Though I believe the range is 100 feet at maximum for now.
[21:07] <13Kit> <Chii> She wants to be useful, so maybe she could use some upgrades. Little late, now, though.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We could leave her here.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon eyes the table.
[21:08] <13Kit> <Chii> Tch. Have that refridgerator nerd work on her." 6She waves at Kane.
[21:08] <13Kit> <Chii> He seems to know what he's talking about. ..I think.
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Kane now, not liking that idea.
[21:08] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane clears his throat. 1...it would be better if you would at least insult me with correct pronunciation.
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Can you upload your program into Lemon?
[21:09] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> It is not just a program, it is this entire device. I could attempt to integrate it with her systems however.
[21:09] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Won't that take awhile?
[21:09] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> It depends on how complex her system are.
[21:09] <13Kit> <Chii> So it's out of the question for now.
[21:09] <13@Xanatos> NRP: systems*
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's complex.
[21:09] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Then yes, it may take a while.
[21:09] <13Kit> 6Chii pouts at Cheryl. 1"Don't leave her behind, just keep it in mind. It'll benefit us in the future, right?"
[21:09] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at John. 1"Aren't all woman complex?"
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> <John> Definitely.
15[21:10] * 13@Jennifer rubs her head and sighs.
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just shakes her head and stands up. "Whatever. For now we'll use Kane's device. IT might not even work, so adding it to Lemon would be pointless."
[21:10] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> Indeed. I would prefer to test it here. And if it does not work, then we are really only back to where we started.
[21:11] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel wonders why it'd be so complex... couldn't they just tie the projector input into something that lets her visualize it?
[21:11] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up again. 1"So we ready to get this show on the road?"
[21:11] <13Kit> 6Chii catches Raquel eyeing Lemon and narrows her eyes.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Our devices are in the next room.
[21:12] <13Kit> <Chii> ...I-- I had plenty of devices last night.
15[21:12] * 13@Jennifer stretches a bit. "No time like the present."
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks and eyes Chii.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* John leans forward with interest.
[21:13] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ok talk about an ice breaker.
[21:13] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane turns the device off and stands up, pocketing it again.
[21:13] <13Kit> <Chii> Right. Let's go." 6She hops up and moves out quickly.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Anyway. I have a new type of tactical suit ready for you all first. While you're getting changed, I'll do a quick mod to Lemon.
[21:14] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Does it show off my killer ass?
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hits a button and the door opens as Chii exits, and Eve walks in with a large box of tactical suits, with each person's name on it
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> If you had one.
[21:14] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel giggles
09[21:14] <13@Jennifer> "Neat, what's new about these ones?"
[21:14] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks behind at his ass, flexing it several times. 1"It takes great offense to your comment."
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers into the box and pulls out the one with her name on it. They look completely black.
[21:15] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves over to get his suit, peering at it.
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl motions at the uniform she's wearing, then taps a spot on her chest. The suit morphs back into a black tactical suit
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It'll let us mimic other clothing.
[21:15] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at the suit and starts stripping where he is.
09[21:15] <13@Jennifer> "Okay, that's cool."
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Dias, then opens a ripple under him to dump him onto another floor
15[21:16] * 13@Jennifer makes a point by pointing at Cheryl's suit.
[21:16] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias falls through with his suit in his hand.
[21:16] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "That's... fancy."
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* X takes her suit, then moves off to find a place to change.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We'll need it to blend in.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* She takes Lemon's arm. "Come on, Lemon."
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* She leads her out
[21:16] <13Kit> <Lilith> Clever." 6She follows X out.
[21:16] <13@Xanatos> <Kane> This is...awesome. 6He notes.
15[21:16] * 13@Jennifer takes her suit and looks around. "There a girl's room around here?"
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* John grabs his suit, then shrugs at Jen. "Pick a room." 6* He moves off to find one
15[21:17] * 13@Jennifer nods and heads off to find one herself.
[21:17] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances around and moves to find a room to change in quickly, looking excited to try out new tech.
[21:17] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel takes her suit, and goes to get changed. Figuring packing extra clothes was pointless now
[21:18] <13Kit> 6Chii leaps up onto Cheryl as she passes. 1"...Hrmph.."
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is leapt on, and falls over, knocking Lemon over, too
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> The hel?!
[21:18] <13Kit> <Chii> I-- I'm not that heavy!!
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe you're pregnant.
[21:19] <13Kit> 6Chii reels. 1"Wh-wha?! I couldn't!"
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon picks herself up
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I did a lot to you last night. Anyway. Get your tactical suit ready. I designed it to switch sizes for you
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* X finishes changing and steps out
[21:20] <13Kit> <Chii> Awesome. How'd you pull off the clothing thing, anyway?
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm a genius.
[21:21] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps out of the room, peering at himself.
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets to her feet, lifting Chii up as well.
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Now, I need to modify Lemon. So get dressed like a good girl
[21:21] <13Kit> 6Chii snerks. 1"Right." 6She giggles. 1"See you then." 6She scampers off.
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Lemon now. "Come on you."
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> Location: Executive Building; Reality Gate Room
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander Cran is present with what appears to be small chips. Eve Summers is there as well, handing a chip as people come in. Also present is Aya Winters, Chad Winters, Erevis, Zephyr, and more.
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Lemon are late to arrive, though X and John are there, getting their chips
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> <Alexander> Just apply them to the back of your hand.
[21:23] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the chip than the back of his hand and shrugs, setting it ontop of it. 1"Than whaT?
[21:23] <13Kit> <Chii> What's this?" 6She eyes it, having had her suit look like her childform ninja outfit complete with its bloomers and skirting.
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* It attaches to his flesh
[21:23] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel takes her chip and applies it uncertainly, hoping it doesn't hurt.
[21:23] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers at Dias then his chip. 1Interesting.
[21:23] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias freaks out, waying his hand frantically
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* John's tactical suit looks like a brown coat, shirt, and jeans.
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* It doens't hurt, though it does attach
[21:24] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> AHHH! It's attacking me! 6His tact suit looks like his normal jeans and hoodiy
15[21:24] * 13@Jennifer puts hers on and stares at it. "Yikes... that feels wierd."
[21:24] <13Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stands off to the side, quietly, as she watches
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "How does it feel?"
[21:24] <13Kit> 6Megumi saunters in, sighing. 1"I... I think I finished."
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* She shifts Isis in her arms.
15[21:24] * 13@Jennifer has hers looking like a skirt and loose shirt, made to allow for mobility.
[21:24] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head and then moves to put it on his hand now. His tactical suit his normal clothing, jeans and a button up shirt.
[21:25] <13@Xanatos> It looks painful to me.
[21:25] <13Kit> 6Chii peers around, then sets it on her 'glove.'
[21:25] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias relaxes after a moment and shifts his hands behind the back of his neck.
15[21:25] * 13Chad`Winters watches Cheryl and Lemon come in late.
15[21:25] * 13@Jennifer attached hers to her real hand, figuring it needed to go there rather then the metal one.
04[21:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya moves over to Raquel and Jennifer. "I wanted to say goodbye."
15[21:26] * 13Chad`Winters moves over to Dias, talking to him about some stuff.
[21:26] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel bites her lip, nodding. She didn't have the courage to seek out Aya herself
15[21:27] * 13@Jennifer smiles at Aya and gives her a hug. "Hey... we'll be back with any luck."
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks at the hug, slightly uncomfortable
15[21:27] * 13@Jennifer seems to take care not to make it anything more then a light, clean like hug.
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finally walks in, her tactical suit a plain tactical suit. Lemon is carried along, dressed exactly the same.
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I hope so. Good luck.
09[21:28] <13@Jennifer> "Thanks... and you take care okay?"
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods.
[21:28] <13Kit> 6Chii stares as Cheryl walks in carrying Lemon. 1"H-Hey, why isn't she walking?"
[21:28] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel tries to speak, but can't find the words.
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's walking. I'm just making her move fast.
09[21:28] <13@Jennifer> "Show off those brainiac skills, if I come back years from now I better hear you're a doctor or something."
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets LEmon go
15[21:28] * 13Chad`Winters shakes Dias' hand and glances over at Cheryl.
15[21:28] * 13@Jennifer grins.
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Oh. I don't think I'd want to be a doctor.
15[21:28] * 13@Xanatos crosses his arms now as he watches them.
[21:28] <13Kit> <Dawn> Too unclean.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods once.
[21:29] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around, watching Cheryl and Lemon after a moment.
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves over to eye Chad. "Well. Hopefully I won't have to see you again." 6* She jokes, since everyone else is saying the opposite.
15[21:29] * 13@Jennifer giggles, "Scientist or something then."
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stands there shyly. She doesn't seem to have anything on her hand, unlike the rest.
15[21:30] * 13@Jennifer looks at Dawn. "
15[21:30] * 13@Ariel steps over to Cheryl, not sure what to say.
[21:30] <13Chad`Winters> I don't think I'd be that lucky. 6He crosses his arms.
09[21:30] <13@Jennifer> "And you, you take good care of Aya."
[21:30] <13Kit> 6Chii hops up and down examining Lemon, then hurks as she's prevented from landing after a jump. Freyja stands there, clutching her like a teddy bear as she moves to stand beside Cheryl and Chad.
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Thank you.
[21:30] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel suddenly hugs Aya tightly, "...goodbye... Aya..."
04[21:30] <13Kit> 6Dawn blinks at Jennifer, then rubs his neck, shrugging. 1"She takes care of me."
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, then returns the hug. "Goodbye, Raquel."
15[21:31] * 13@Jennifer grins. "Somehow that doesn't surprise me. Well... keep her happy then."
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods once at Ariel, and just holds out a hand for a handshake
15[21:31] * 13Chad`Winters snorts and grabs Cheryl in a hug. 1"Stay safe, Cheryl."
[21:31] <13Kit> 6Dawn gets a serious expression. 1"Trying. I am boring."
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses as she's hugged, then pats Chad's back. "Men and their need for hugs."
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> You are not.
[21:32] <13Chad`Winters> It doesn't happen very often, enjoy it.
[21:32] <13Kit> 6Chii hops down, Freyja patting her on the head while she grumbles, then peers at Chad. 1"Oh yeah? Well where's mine!?"
15[21:32] * 13@Ariel smirks a little, but her eyes are still sad. "Take care of yourself, Cheryl."
[21:32] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You too, Ariel.
15[21:32] * 13Chad`Winters lets go and looks at Chii. 1"I already gave you you're once a year hug.
[21:33] <13Kit> 6Chii reels slightly. 1"Man, the power of a wedding dress."
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stands there to the side.
15[21:33] * 13@Ariel hugs Cheryl as well, "If you get back during my time... look me up. Even if I am a senile old cripple."
15[21:33] * 13@Jennifer grins more. "Alright... well..." *she looks at Aya* "I'll miss you. I know we haven't talked much of late, but we're friends, so..."
[21:33] <13Chad`Winters> I just wanted to feel your body against mine. 6He says dryly
[21:33] <13Kit> 6Chii gapes, looking frozen.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, I dobut you'll be an old cripple.
15[21:33] * 13@Jennifer bows her head a bit. "So take care."
04[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya gives Jennifer a smile.
15[21:34] * 13@Xanatos moves over to shakes Kane's hand and tell him good luck, despite them being from different realities, then steps back by Erevis.
[21:34] <13Kit> 6Megumi leans on Erevis, looking sleepy.
09[21:34] <13@Jennifer> * Sam stands there quietly towards the back, not having anyone to really say goodbye to.
[21:34] <13@Ariel> "Everyone meets their time eventually. But.... I don't plan to meet mine any time soon, so I will see you again."
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis wraps an arm around Megumi
15[21:35] * 13Chad`Winters crosses his arms now as he glances around
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Of course.
[21:35] <13Kit> 6Chii remains frozen at the wonder that Chad gave her.
[21:35] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head and moves to Sam, reaching out a hand for her. 1Though I really do not know you. Goodbye.
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright, people, lets get ready to go. Lemon, synch up everyone's devices.
[21:36] <13Kit> 6Chii then blinks and peers off to the right, waving. 1"Heeeey! Phinee, guess what Chad said to meeee!"
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods, closing her eyes. Everyone's devices blink a green light
15[21:36] * 13Chad`Winters takes several steps back now.
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks up from hugging Cheryl. "What?"
09[21:36] <13@Jennifer> * Sam smiles and shakes it. "Goodbye."
[21:36] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances down at the blinking. 1"Is it bad if it blinks grey?"
[21:36] <13@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods once and then peers at the device on his hand, moving back towards Cheryl and ther others.
[21:36] <13Kit> 6Chii leans into her as Megumi makes her way around the other side of Zephyr to cling on Cheryl.
15[21:37] * 13@Jennifer steps back from Aya and Dawn. "Time to go. See you sometime."
[21:37] <13Kit> <Chii> He said he wanted to feel me against him.." 6She winks.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Megumi and Zephyr now.
[21:37] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias shrugs and looks over at Aya. 1"Don't forget what I taught you, Aya.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> What was it again?
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> He doesn't get sex very often, so you have to forgive him.
[21:37] <13Kit> 6Dawn chuckles at Dias and Aya.
[21:37] <13@Ariel> "...see you when you return, Cheryl."
[21:37] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> That the only limits you have are the ones you set infront of you.
15[21:37] * 13@Jennifer looks over at SPoC one last time.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods at Dias, and waves at him.
[21:37] <13Chad`Winters> Very often? Try never. 6He notes neutrally.
[21:38] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias smiles his trademark smile back at her
[21:38] <13Kit> <Chii> Huh. Well, if I return all grown up, maybe Cherry'll have me fix that for him.
[21:38] <13@Xanatos> He lost it years ago anyway.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hugs Cheryl tightly, then lets go and moves off. Cheryl nods at Ariel
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I would have sex with you, but I have to go
[21:38] <13Kit> 6Megumi moves off with Zephyr, hugging her to keep her from getting emotional.
[21:38] <13Kit> 6Chii jerks at Lemon's comment. 1"Something tells me... he wouldn't go for that."
15[21:38] * 13Chad`Winters eyes Lemon now. 1"...If my sex drive wasn't killed, that just did it."
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hugs onto Megumi as well, probably making them both seem like uber adorable little girls.
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... oh. 6* She looks depressed
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Sorry.
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves up to hug the two so they can cling to her
[21:39] <13Kit> <Chii> It's not your fault, Lem..." 6She consoles her.
[21:39] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel solemnly joins her team, knowing she can't go or stay without missing someone.
[21:39] <13Kit> <Lilith> Hm. No one is seeing us off, mistress.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Lilith. "That is fine."
15[21:40] * 13@Jennifer puts a hand on Raquel's shoulder gently. "Hey, there's a chance we'll be back. Don't get too down."
[21:40] <13Kit> <Lilith> Yes. I suppose so.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <X> Besides. You have your special someone inside you.
[21:40] <13Kit> <Lilith> Mm.." 6She notes neutrally, then whispers quietly. 1"No regrets behind..."
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Lemon. "Alright, input the codes and send us all to the base. Try to make sure we stay together."
15[21:41] * 13Chad`Winters watches them, his arms crossed
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* The team glows and vanishes, leaving everyone else alone in the room.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alexander hands Aya her letter
15[21:42] * 13@Xanatos rubs the back of his neck, peering around.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Blinking, Aya peers down at it
15[21:42] * 13Chad`Winters shifts his sunglasses over his eyes.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I hope they will be safe. 6* She says. Zephyr nods.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> Location: Unknown Reality
03[21:42] * Xanatos is now known as Kane
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* The team would appear inside a metallic room where five guards can be seen, their backs to them, and a window on the wall where people are visible in a control room. There's also two gun turrets set up
[21:43] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances around, somewhat shocked and he makes a dash towards one of the guards.
[21:44] <13Kit> 6Chii reaches back and pulls out a device in either hand, twirling as she hurtles them for the turrets, finishing a second spin drawing her guns, firing into each. 1"Ikouze."
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guards begin to turn to face them, letting out a surprised noise. The other guards lift their weapons up, while those in the control room shake their heads, moving to get to controls.
15[21:44] * 13@Jennifer makes a dash at one of the guards, going in low.
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple into the control room and leaps through it, appearing behind them. She begins to stab them with energy wepaons
[21:44] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias kicks off and twists, throwing a roundhouse kick for one's head.
[21:45] <13Kit> 6Lilith leaps through, thrusting forward to one with her lance, in her light armor, eyeing the room for her next vantage point and threats to X.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* John rushes in as well. Dias' kick hits a guard backwards, the other four firing weapons at the team.
[21:45] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel opens a ripple before each turret, just in case they're still working, and pulls her pistol.
15[21:45] * 13@Kane pulls up a rectangular device from a pocket and throws it out for one of the guards, like it did on Dias, upon connecting it would lash out with 'tentacles' of sorts to wrap around and subdue him.
15[21:45] * 13@Jennifer leaps up from down low and sends a kick out at one of the guards.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lilith would notice one person going for an alarm
[21:46] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias lands on one foot and twists, slide tackling at another guard
04[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane's device subdues the guard, who freaks out at tentacles. John and Jennifer each hit their guards, knocking them back, and Dias would take out the last one
[21:46] <13Kit> 6Chii runs forward now, lifting both hands and rapid firing not for the people, but the weapons they're firing, holstering both guns as she draws close, pulling out her blades instead.
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Chii's attacks knock the guns away from the guards
[21:46] <13Kit> 6Lilith cleaves up from her first target and lunches, sweeping the lance to make a diagonally cleave for the alarm-goer.
15[21:46] * 13@Kane tilts his head slightly and nods in approval that it worked, then pulls up a pistol, peering around for anymore threats.
[21:46] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up, bouncing slightly, his eyes darting around for anymore threats
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cehryl stands there, peering about. There's two sets of doors to leave the room, and one i nthe control area that X is in, though they'd have to ripple in there
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* The man shudders as Lilith takes him out
15[21:47] * 13@Jennifer lands on her feet and stands over her guard. "Map time?"
[21:47] <13Kit> <Lilith> Area secured.
[21:47] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel closes the useless ripples, and looks to Cheryl for orders
[21:47] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias adjusts his bandana. 1"Oh so perfect. Let's get moving."
15[21:47] * 13@Kane pulls the device out and attached it to his arm, turning it on.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Get us into that control room
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* X nods, opening a ripple for the others to reach her
[21:48] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns and leaps through the portal.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* John bounces through it, and Lemon and Cheryl walk through it as well
[21:48] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel was about to open one, but just uses X's
15[21:49] * 13@Kane moves through the ripple.
15[21:49] * 13@Jennifer hops through the portal.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves to the terminals and sits down. Lemon moves over and touches one, closing her eyes
[21:49] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias nudges John and motions at Lemon. 1"She's got the magic touch."
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> <John> Get her to use it on you
15[21:50] * 13@Jennifer giggles a bit and stretches a little.
[21:50] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> And make Chii mad, as if.
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon opens her eyes. "Their serves are locked and password encrypted."
[21:50] <13Kit> 6Chii moves into the control room and then to its door, waiting anxiously aside calm Lilith who is also watching it.
[21:50] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I could always use my password. 6He raises his fist
15[21:51] * 13@Kane tisks as he eyes his device. 1I believe that depending on the density of the materials the area is made out of, will determine how far the range will extend. 6He notes, more so to himself.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It'll take time to hack. 6* She ignores Dias. "It might be faster to look for the devices ourselves."
[21:51] <13Kit> <Chii> Do we know what we're looking for?
[21:51] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias' shoudlers lump
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> <John> If I see it, I can point it out
[21:52] <13@Kane> If you believe splitting up will work, I could attempt to hack it while the others search for the device. Together we may find it quicker.
[21:52] <13Kit> <Chii> So we just run around aimlessly like carnival ducks?
[21:52] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Times a ticking away. 6He looks at the door to see if there's a way to open it
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Kane. "If we run into someone like Dias, splitting up will lead to our defeat."
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Probably the door pad.
[21:52] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias beams proudly at Cheryls comment and hits the door pad to open it
[21:52] <13@Kane> I agree. I am just telling you that I could probably hack it, giving time.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* The door opens. Blast fire comes flying into the room now
[21:53] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eeks and hits the door close button
15[21:53] * 13@Jennifer steps away from the door. "Yikes."
09[21:53] <13@Jennifer> "I think they know we're here!"
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* A grenade lands in before the door closes
[21:53] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> X, ripple it back.
[21:53] <13Kit> 6Lilith slashes to cleave the door open like before, then Chii kicks at it.
[21:53] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel opens a ripple under the grenade to drop it back with the enemies
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* The grenade is kicked away, and sadly, Chii would be the one to go in a ripple
[21:54] <13Kit> 6Lilith idly grabs her by the nape of her clothing.
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* The grenade goes off, but the guards seem immune to the stune effects. They fire up int othe ripple at Chii
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We can't hold this position. Lets go.
15[21:54] * 13@Kane turns to peer at them. 1You should close that ripple.
[21:55] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Raquel, open me a ripple up behind them.
[21:55] <13Kit> 6Chii dances around in the air with jerks before Lilith pulls her away, staring.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* John tenses himself. Lemon keeps working on the terminal while Cheryl gets and moves to the door.
[21:55] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel opens a ripple as directed
[21:56] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps through the ripple.
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Dias leaps straight into an energy barrier that zaps him
15[21:56] * 13@Kane pulls up his pistol and checks it, having modified it a bit.
[21:56] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias howls out in pain as he's zapped
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Goddammit. 6* She omves to the door. The barrier would continue to zap Dias until he's unconscious
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks in the hole Lilith made and watches them drag Dias off. "That idiot. THAT's WHY I GIVE THE ORDERS." 6* She shouts out
[21:58] <13Kit> <Lilith> Should I retrieve him?
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Look. We're going to rush them head on. X and Raquel, use ripples to defend us from shots.
[21:58] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel nods to Cheryl, taking up a spot in the rear.
15[21:58] * 13@Kane makes a face and kneels to pull up the silver case, beginning to put together his high-powered rifle.
[21:58] <13Kit> <Lilith> Understood.
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> If you can get to him, do it, Lilith, but the guards are our main focus
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hits the door open button. A grenade is tossed in again
[21:59] <13Kit> <Lilith> I will dispel the barrier." 6She swats the grenade back with her lance head.
15[21:59] * 13@Jennifer loosens up and gets ready.
[21:59] <13Kit> <Lilith> This small number I can handle. If you would retrieve Dias, it would be made simpler.
[21:59] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel opens her ripple as a defensive shield.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* The grenade goes off again, another stun one. The guards in their suits seem fine despite it. Cheryl moves in now, sliding under the ripple.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* John dashes in after Cheryl, kicking off the walls to look like he's bouncing
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple as well when the guards begin to open fire
[22:00] <13Kit> 6Lilith dashes in beside Cheryl with the lance dragging behind her, focused on the guards.
15[22:00] * 13@Jennifer moves after Cheryl and John, she moves fast, but looks alomst entirely relaxed.
[22:00] <13Kit> 6Chii leans out of the doorway and studies the numbers, sighing.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Two guards drag Dias to another door way, opening it.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* There appears to be five guards, and then the two with Dias.
15[22:00] * 13@Kane quickly pulls up his rifle after he gets it together and pulls it up, firing towards one of the guards, after moving himself to the side, and making sure not to hit anyone.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips out at one, but the raise an energy barrier in front of themselves, stopping their attacks
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> *they
[22:01] <13Kit> 6Lilith lunges after the barrier's put up, thrusting the lance into it and focusing, channeling light energy into it, to the point of one of her burst attacks, trying to just flat out overwhelm it or pierce it.
[22:01] <13@Kane> These barriers are annoying.
15[22:01] * 13@Jennifer skids short to prevent herself from barrelling into the two in front of her. "I hate these barriers already."
[22:01] <13Kit> <Chii> Never fun.
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* The barrier is overpowered with an overload effect. Cheryl closes her eyes and whips out, smashing into a guard.
15[22:02] * 13@Kane aims to the left-most guard and fires for his head.
[22:02] <13Kit> 6Lilith keeps pushing forward, aiming to impale the one that put it up, then pretty much polevault over that group, eyeing the two with Dias.
15[22:02] * 13@Jennifer leaps out high, but attacks low, aiming a kick at a guard's chest.
04[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane's shot hits the guard and he topples over, though his armor protects his life. Lilith's lance impales another. As Jennifer leaps in, the guard raises and fires at her once she's commited and can't dodge.
04[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* John rolls inward behind Jennifer, kicking off to elbow her to the side
04[22:03] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel reluctantly shifts her shield to protect Jennifer
04[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Raquel saves Jennifer.
[22:04] <13Kit> 6Chii finishes forming seals and touches the ground. 1"Doton." 6Aiming to see how one might like seeing the ceiling up close and personal via spire air.
15[22:04] * 13@Jennifer twists to avoid hitting the ripple when she comes in, committed to her attack of course.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* John's elbow would have commited her to the wall and not the ripple
[22:04] <13Kit> 6Lilith lands on the other side, immediately sprinting for the further away of the two guards, hurtling the lance forward at him, shifting to gaze at the closer and throw a punch with her gauntlet for his side.
[22:04] <13@Kane> 6* Kane fires another shot for the one to the right of the the left-most guard, aiming for his head as well. 1I am not killing them. Be aware of that. 6He calls out.
15[22:04] * 13@Jennifer bounds off it and rolls a bit, she kicks out at the leg of one of the guards.
04[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guards are knocked up by Chii's attack, clearly not expecting that. Cheryl twists and whips out at the stunned guards, though they're pretty much already taken down now. Jennifer kicks one's leg as he lays there
[22:05] <13Kit> <Lilith> I will be taking this one back.
15[22:05] * 13@Kane hmms and nods. 1Effective. 6He moves forward.
15[22:06] * 13@Jennifer nods, serves that guard right, trying to shoot her! She looks towards the rest and Dias.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guard shuts the door on Lilith before her lance reaches them.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* X moves down the hallway now for the door.
[22:06] <13Kit> 6Lilith narrows her eyes, having been denied, apparently. She brings her hand back, focusing energy into it, then slams her gauntlet into the door.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* The door bends somewhat. But holds.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple for Lilith.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> <X> Use it.
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves after the others. "Make sure htey're dead, Kane."
15[22:07] * 13@Jennifer looks over at John, then Raquel. "Thanks."
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* John moves onward as well
[22:07] <13Kit> 6Lilith takes the lance back and pushes it into herself. 1"Thank you, mistress." 6She takes a breath, then moves through the ripple, in a readied stance.
15[22:07] * 13@Jennifer moves after John.
15[22:07] * 13@Kane nods and slips out an energy knife, moving to slit their throats.
04[22:07] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel doesn't face Jennifer, and just stays with the others
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lilith would arrive on an elevator pad. The two guards eye her, then fire at her with weapons. AS the elevator rises, a hole is formed from the ripple
[22:08] <13Kit> 6Lilith brings her hands up to guard the shots with her gauntlets if she can, dropping low and sweeping in an arc in an attempt to put them off their feet.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hits the button to try to do somehing, but then grabs at the doors, trying to wrench them open
[22:08] <13Kit> 6Chii eyes them down the hall, then back to Lemon. 1"..."
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon is still at the terminal
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guards are knocked off their feet and land on top of Dias
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* John joins Cheryl, and they get the door to open. The elevator shaft goes down and up as far as the eye can see. Cheryl peers up at the elevator pad going upward.
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Up.
[22:10] <13Kit> 6Lilith slides back to her feet and reaches down to grab both in either hand and slam them together, then throw them at the far wall with power behind her.
15[22:10] * 13@Kane stands up and deactivates the blade. 1What about Lemon?
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks up as well
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Keep an eye on her.
15[22:10] * 13@Kane nods and steps back.
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Somehow Dias is rolled toward the hole in the elevator pad during the fight
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guards are soundly beaten
[22:11] <13Kit> 6Lilith pauses, then dives to grab Dias before he falls to a horrible Prince of Persia pit-style death.
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* The elevator dings after Lilith grabs him. More guards are there
[22:12] <13Kit> 6Lilith holds up her free hand, forming a barrier at the doorway. <Mistress, I have retrieved him.>
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple for them back to the hallway.
[22:13] <13Kit> 6Lilith hurtles Dias through it before dropping the barrier and leaping through herself, guarding her head with her arms.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* X closes the ripple a moment later. MEanwhile, Lemon opens her eyes finally.
[22:13] <13Kit> <Chii> Got it, Lem?
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes. I have downloaded the map of the area.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, then reaches over and slaps Dias hard, enough to wake him up
[22:13] <13Kit> 6Lilith grunts as she lands on Dias. Damn ripples and inconvenient physics.
[22:14] <13@Kane> Excellent. You may be faster than I am. 6He notes.
[22:14] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias groans and then howls in pain.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* The elevator pad begins to go back down
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We need to move.
[22:14] <13Kit> <Chii> She is a machine..
[22:14] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Huh? 6He shifts up, knocking Lilith off balance if she remains on him
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> It will be easier to go back to the first room we were in, and then take the left door.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* John helps Lilith to her feet.
15[22:14] * 13@Jennifer moves back. "This is gonna suck."
[22:14] <13Kit> 6Lilith rolls to the side, then gets up with John's help, eyeing him neutrally.
[22:14] <13@Kane> Sometimes hacking takes instinct and risky decisions.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Dias, then walks over him to continue on
[22:15] <13Kit> <Chii> Cherry, the fast route's back this way!
[22:15] <13@Kane> Machines don't do either of those things. 6He notes.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii's voice, then moves back for it.
[22:15] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up, rubbing the back of his neck and he moves after Cheryl
15[22:15] * 13@Jennifer heads after Cheryl.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Kane, as if hurt.
[22:15] <13Kit> <Chii> Lem has instinct. I can assure you of that.
[22:15] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel stays with the group, wary of ambushes
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* John follows them, thumbs upping Dias. "Nice tactic of distracting them.'
[22:15] <13@Kane> Oh? Fascinating. 6He notes in awe.
[22:16] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Uh, yeah. Totally what I had planned.
[22:16] <13Kit> <Lilith> You planned on me coming for you? Hm. I would not have guessed.
15[22:17] * 13@Jennifer rubs her head a little. "Amazing."
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Once the group is back in the control room, X opens a ripple back to the other room.
[22:17] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well I knew you're abilities would take them by surprise. 6He steps through the ripple
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, the elevator arrives and guards begin to rus hdown the hallway - about 12 of them
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl enters the ripple, as does X and John.
[22:17] <13Kit> <Lilith> I see." 6She sounds as skeptical as emotionless tone can, regrouping with X. Chii moves through the ripple and then over to the door, moving to it's side, then hitting it to open.
15[22:17] * 13@Kane moves to set up a trap at the door, setting silver charges on the frame, moving quickly to go through the ripple.
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon enters the door. Chii would open a door that leads to a hallway
13[22:18] MEA Unknown command
15[22:18] * 13@Jennifer heads through the ripple.
[22:18] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel enters through the ripple
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves up to Chii and peers down. Lemon joins them. "Take point, Lemon." 6* Lemon nods and moves aehad.
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guards reach the control room door and begin to open it
[22:18] <13Kit> <Chii> Point? Her??
[22:18] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias let's out a puff of air and moves after Lemon
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She has the map in her head.
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* X closes her ripple after the last one is through
[22:19] <13Kit> <Chii> So shouldn't she go second at least? It'd suck to lose the map..
15[22:19] * 13@Kane moves towards the door and glances over his shoulder towards the control room door. He pushes a button to detonate the charges.
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll protect her. 6* She moves ahead. "Nice to know you only care about the map, though!"
[22:19] <13Kit> 6Chii jerks. 1"I-- D-Damn it Cherry!" 6She chases her.
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon sulks now sadly
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* The control room shakes and John and X hurry down the new hallway.
15[22:20] * 13@Kane turns and rushes after the others.
15[22:20] * 13@Jennifer heads after them.
[22:20] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Lemon can handle herself.
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* They reach another set of doors after a moment.
[22:21] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes to a stop, eyeing the door
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches out to hit the open button
[22:21] <13Kit> 6Chii pauses at it, then begins to form seals, then starts one of the silent chants with her hand up.
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl taps it, but it beeps. Apparantly locked.
[22:21] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Guess they're locking the place down
[22:21] <13@Kane> Of course. Wouldn't you?
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I can attempt to hack the door terminal.
[22:22] <13Kit> <Lilith> I can break the door.
[22:22] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, I'd take the intruders head on.
09[22:22] <13@Jennifer> "I can cut it open, but that'll take time."
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Lilith.
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. Go for it
[22:23] <13Kit> <Lilith> My mistress is strong." 6She notes, then walks up and taps on it with her gauntlet, then brings her hand back, closing her eyes and pausing.
[22:23] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias bounces from side to side, getting eager again
[22:23] <13@Kane> I see. I could attempt to hack as well, though everyone seems eager to tear the door apart.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's sounds coming the way they came.
[22:24] <13Kit> <Lilith> Efficient." 6She opens her eyes, then slams her glowing gauntlet into the door with the most horrible squeal and banging sound rock/metal on metal can make.
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Prepare yourself to see if Lilith succeeds!
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 5

[22:24] <13Kit> rldurldurldurl
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 1
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* The door shatters inward and sparks like a broken Fallout 3 door, though passable now
[22:25] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nice touch, but lame name. 6He moves through the doorway, glancing around
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves through the door. There's in a hallway that goes three different ways.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* John pats Lilith. "Nice."
[22:26] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Lemon, which way?
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon steps through, then points left. Kane's device would show there's huge amounts of life signs behind them and ahead.
15[22:26] * 13@Jennifer looks about, crossing her arms a bit.
[22:26] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods and starts moving down the left path
15[22:26] * 13@Kane clears his throat. 1I believe we're surrounded.
[22:26] <13Kit> 6Chii opens her eyes and glances back the way they came, bring her hand up. 1"Zettai futon."
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* John slides through, and X follows, keeping an eye on Lilith.
15[22:27] * 13@Jennifer keeps up with John for now.
15[22:27] * 13@Kane steps after them, letting Chii take care of those behind them this time.
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves down the left hallway. Suddenly, barriers begin to rise and seal the hallway they want. The team will have to run down as fast as they can to make it.
[22:27] <13Kit> 6Chii sends a gale down the hallway with swirling winds moving quickly enough in narrow spinning cycles that has the physical effect of very keen edges on both the hallway and anything that chooses to enter it.
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* PREPARE YOURSELVES
[22:27] <13Kit> 6Chii's ears perk, then she turns and runs forward.
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Righ, Up, Down, Left, Right

04[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* The barriers raise and seal Chii, Lilith, X, and JEnnifer. Though Chii's attack has slowed the guards down that were following
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns around, eyeing the barriers. John punches one, bending it
[22:29] <13Kit> 6Chii rolls her eyes and sighs.
[22:29] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns at the sound of John punching and he leaps forward, throwing a punch into himself
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple
09[22:29] <13@Jennifer> "I'll say it again, I hate these barriers."
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* X moves through the ripple.
15[22:30] * 13@Jennifer steps through the ripple.
[22:30] <13Kit> 6Lilith follows X and Chii blinks at the ripple, using it.
[22:30] <13@Ariel> Raquel> *frowns* "...I think they're used to people like us."
09[22:30] <13@Jennifer> "Nah."
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* John turns as the others catch up. Cheryl sighs in relief and grabs Chii in a hug
[22:31] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Let's keep moving.
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves ahead again. Cheryl moves after her, carrying Chii now
[22:31] <13Kit> 6Chii makes a face at Cheryl, slightly embarassed and nods.
04[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* John nods at Jennifer. "Got to be quicker, kiddo."
15[22:31] * 13@Kane moves on.
[22:31] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias sprints after Lemon and Cheryl
09[22:31] <13@Jennifer> "Yeah." *she nods and moves on*
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* X follows after them, though she seems to be tiring otu
[22:32] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances back at X. 1"Nice save."
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> <X> It was nothing
[22:32] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well of course not, you are the ultimate weapon
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stops at an elevator, though there's stairs to the side. "We need to go up 7 floors."
[22:32] <13@Kane> I would suggest stairs.
15[22:32] * 13@Jennifer eyes the elevator. "...Stairs."
[22:32] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides to a stop. 1"Stairs man.
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* John eyes them all. "What's with the stairs?"
[22:33] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...elevators are dangerous."
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> <John> Really? I'd rather do the elevator!
09[22:33] <13@Jennifer> "Elevators always go bad."
[22:33] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't know, I just like running up stairs
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves and opens the doors to the stairs.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* John sighs and follows after Cheryl. The barriers that rose drop now, and guards fire down the hallway.
15[22:34] * 13@Jennifer heads after John.
15[22:34] * 13@Kane turns and moves to get in the stairwell quickly.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon jerks to follow as the shots come in. X peers back. <X> They've caught up.
[22:34] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias ducks and moves into the stairwell and starts moving up the stairs
[22:34] <13Kit> 6Chii forms seals since Cheryl's carrying her. 1"I'll delay them some more."
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves up the stairs with Chii
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* John rushes up the stairs, taking three steps at a time.
[22:35] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel heads up the stairs, hoping this reality isn't weird
15[22:35] * 13@Kane moves up the stairs now, pulling out his pistol, the rifle strapped onto his back.
15[22:35] * 13@Jennifer heads up the stairs, skipping steps herself.
[22:35] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias bounds along, moving up as fast as he can
[22:35] <13Kit> <Chii> Suiton!" 6She throws her hands out, then brings one up, creating a deluge of water, then throws it down the stairs after them.
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* As they rush up, doors open up on each floor above and below them, and soldiers step out. With 10 floors above them, and 5 below them, and five guards each floor stepping out, well...
15[22:36] * 13@Kane frowns as he kneels to get some sort of cover. 1Maybe the elevator would have been a safer choice.
[22:36] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps onto the railing and kicks off, kicking directly into a guard to knock him back towards the doorway and hopefuly into the other guards
[22:37] <13Kit> 6Chii floods the stairs below them creating a river-- then pulls out her guns, taking advantage of Cheryl-platform to fire hails of bullets up at other guards.
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Chii's water attack floods the stairs and taking those below them. As Dias kicks up, the guards open fire at him in a hailstorm of bullets to hit him in the air
15[22:37] * 13@Jennifer pulls out her gun and starts taking shots at those above as well.
04[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* John winces as the shots begin to fly. Guards further up fire at Jennifer and Chii to stop their attacks
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I need ripple shields for us!
[22:38] <13Kit> 6Lilith stays near X to guard her with her armor when she can. 1"I am sorry I cannot create moving barriers, mistress."
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* X nods, and opens up some ripples to deflect what she can
[22:38] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias ees go wide and he swings his leg into the side wall to shove him off to the side and away from the incoming bullets
[22:38] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel was about to open a ripple offensively, but at Cheryl's request, uses one to redirect as much fire back as she can
15[22:38] * 13@Jennifer pulls away from the shots and keeps moving.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Keeps moving...where?
[22:39] <13Kit> 6Chii reaches back and grabs another canister, she hurtles it upward, then shoots it several times, juggling it like a can upward, before firing to knock it onto the staircase above, billowing a smoke screen to keep them from being overrun by bullets.
15[22:39] * 13@Kane pulls out two silver pellets and motions to Johm. 1Throw this up as hard as you can and then don't look up. They will potentially blind them.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* John takes the pellets, nodding. He leans up and throws them up pretty high
15[22:40] * 13@Jennifer keeps moving around to avoid shots aimed at her.
[22:40] <13Kit> <Chii> You know. I like the nerd. He uses a lot of my tactics.
[22:40] <13@Kane> Don't look up. 6He calls out toe veryone.
04[22:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer runs around in tiny circles in place.
15[22:40] * 13@Kane clicks the detonate them after they reach their peak.
[22:40] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides as he lands and he eyes the guards.
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's a flash. The bullets on the higher floors up 6-10 stop firing, but those further down seem fine. They fire at Dias, and the group. The only dodge patterns would be to go back down the stairs
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns and moves down the staircase as the shots continue to come in.
15[22:42] * 13@Jennifer steps back down the staircase after Cheryl.
15[22:42] * 13@Kane frowns and tries to keep closer to the wall, as he moves back down.
[22:42] <13Kit> <Chii> Okay, you know what. This is pissing me off.
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> <John> We need to find a way to break our way up.
[22:42] <13Kit> 6Lilith forms a barrier as they stop moving.
[22:42] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps back and down, his hand sliding into his pocket and than launching forward, a small ball bouncing towards them
[22:42] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel falls back, trying to think of a plan
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* They shoot the balls before they get closer
[22:43] <13Chad`Winters> 6The bouncy ball erupts int a brilliant light.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl winces, since the balls were close to them as well.
15[22:43] * 13@Jennifer covers her eyes.
15[22:43] * 13@Kane lets out a grunt of annoyance as he's blinded.
[22:44] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias lands on a stairs, sliding a couple down.
[22:44] <13Kit> 6Chii brings out another canister, then forms seals with her free hand. She throws the canister up, pulling out her left gun and fires on the canister, knocking it higher and higher. 1"Choke on this! Futon!" 6She casts the wind art, splitting the canister open and blowing the contents throughout the room above them in a fine silvery-green mist.
09[22:44] <13@Jennifer> "What the heck is that stuff?"
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Guards begin to scream as acid is used. The stairs also suffer
09[22:44] <13@Jennifer> "Holy..."
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* John stares, shaking his head. "What was that?"
[22:45] <13@Kane> Crude yet effective.
[22:45] <13Kit> <Chii> Hrmph.
[22:45] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Don't ask me.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Will that melt through the stairs?
[22:45] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances around for X.
09[22:45] <13@Jennifer> "Acidic spray it seems."
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* X is still there with the others, a ripple opened to deflect shots that still persist.
[22:46] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> If it does we need to move quickly than.
[22:46] <13Kit> <Chii> Maybe with time, but it's not that strong. Besides. Water neutralizes it.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guards begin to yank off their armor
[22:46] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias dashes in twoards the guards as they deal with their armor
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> They're going to open fire again in a moment.
15[22:46] * 13@Kane leans back and bit and tries to take some precise shots for some of the guards removing armor.
09[22:47] <13@Jennifer> "We should act now... there goes Dias."
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves up after Dias. Kane manages to hit guards who die without their armor on
15[22:47] * 13@Jennifer pulls up her gun and takes some put shots herself.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* John moves up the stairs
[22:47] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias kicks in low, swinging his fist in for a guards gut
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guard holds his armor in the path of the fist
15[22:47] * 13@Kane moves up after John, pistol raised as he looks for higher enemies to try and deal with.
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip. She whips out at a guard without armor, tangling his arms while he has it, and throws him off.
15[22:48] * 13@Jennifer moves up after John as well, keeping her gun ready.
[22:48] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias lets his fist connect into it and rolls his fist than his arm against it as he twists around, swinging his left around for hte guards knee
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Some acid residue would touch Dias' hand now, though his attack takes the guard down. John leaps up and kicks at one guard's armor to knock him off balance.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon begins to move up, firing energy shots from her hands like guns, aiming to hit guards without armor. X follows along.
[22:49] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel carefully fires shots from her pistol, careful not to hit allies
15[22:49] * 13@Jennifer aims at guards without armor, taking careful shots as she steps up along with the others.
[22:49] <13Kit> 6Chii fires on people with her one pistol out, keeping an eye out for acidic pools.
[22:49] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias plants his other foot and twists, swinging his leg into the guard as he goes down, sending him over the railing
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Open a ripple to the floor Lemon wanted while we have them distracted with acid!
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* X nods, and does so. She moves through.
[22:50] <13Kit> 6Lilith keeps an eye on behind them, then backs after X.
[22:51] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns and leaps through the portal
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* The guards still activate around the floor turn to face X, trying to aim their gun at her
15[22:51] * 13@Kane moves through, sweeping his pistol around as he emerges on the other side.
15[22:51] * 13@Jennifer holsters her gun and heads through.
[22:51] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel heads back through the ripple
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* X dashes in and knocks the gun upward, kicking out at the guard
15[22:51] * 13@Kane takes shots for the head of one of the guards.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* John leaps through and leaps at the door, kicking it open onto the floor they want.
[22:51] <13Kit> 6Lilith moves in low beside X and slams her fist toward his midsection
[22:51] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides in around X and throws a punch for the guards side
09[22:51] <13@Jennifer> "Nice."
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lilith's attack sends the guard flying over. And Kane's shot hits the guard
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Lemon move through next.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> <John> Looks clear.
[22:52] <13Kit> <Lilith> Your assistance is graciously received, Dias.
[22:52] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oi oi. 6He smiles, than his his hand and the acid eating away at his glove
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* The three remaining guards rush at the team.
[22:53] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns as a guard rushes at him and throws a punch for the guards face, the acid hand one
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Less talk. More action.
15[22:53] * 13@Jennifer ducks low as they rush and sweeps out at one's legs, attempting to trip him up.
[22:53] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel uses a ripple to fire at the back of the neck of one of the guards
04[22:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer trips the guard, who drops a grenade onto the ground. Dias' fist is dodged, and the guard is then shot by Raquel
15[22:53] * 13@Kane shifts to fire another shot for one of the 3 guards left, making sure not to hit anyone on the team.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* The grenade begins to go off.
15[22:54] * 13@Jennifer leaps away from the grenade towards the door. "GRENADE!"
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks down, then holds up her arms to shield herself, the explosion knocking her through the door.
15[22:54] * 13@Kane jerks to five into the doorward, the blast hitting his back and send him flying towards Cheryl.
[22:54] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts as he misses only to get hit by the explosion and sent flying
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* X is hit by the grenade and knocked over the railing, falling
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon is hit, slamming against the wall, damaged.
[22:54] <13Kit> 6Lilith reaches to snag X before she gets too far, gritting her teeth
[22:55] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel is knocked solidly into the wall by the grenade
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other guards die from the grenade
15[22:55] * 13@Jennifer is knocked into the hallway and hits a wall, grumbling in pain.
[22:55] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias groans as he lies against the wall, blood running down his face.
15[22:55] * 13@Kane lands on the ground, smoke rising from his back.
[22:55] <13Kit> 6Lilith then shifts, trying to snag Dias as well, but misses. She sighs.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* X hangs onto Lilith, clearly hurt.
[22:56] <13Kit> 6Chii groans and sits up, rubbing her head and moves to check on Cheryl.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* John moves to check on everyone, having been far enough away.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits up, a bit bloodied.
15[22:56] * 13@Jennifer pulls herself up, still a little shocked that the guy would drop a grenade at his own feet. She stumbles up and shakes her head.
[22:56] <13Kit> <Chii> Ch-Cherry, you okay?
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. Yeah.
[22:57] <13Kit> 6Lilith pulls X up onto the level and sets her down gently, checking over her wounds.
[22:57] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts his hands around, keeping one eye closed as he starts to push himself up
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> <Cheyl> We need to get to a medical floor...
[22:57] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...oww..."
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* X's side is bleeding from shrapnel that flew into her
15[22:57] * 13@Kane slowly pushes himself to a knee.
09[22:57] <13@Jennifer> "What the hell... is with this kamakaze attitude?"
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* John helps Dias up
[22:58] <13Kit> <Lilith> It is likely that if they fail they are killed, so I understand this tactic.
[22:58] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias is helped up and he wobbles slightly. 1"Thanks."
[22:58] <13Kit> 6Lilith brings her hand over X, trying to heal the wound, her body showing a stigmata as she does, as if she is merely taking the wound instead.
15[22:58] * 13@Kane makes a pained face as he pushes himself to his feet, moving to check on Lemon.
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon seems to be unconscious
[22:58] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Let's keeep moving. 6He spits out blood. 1"John can you carry Lemon?
15[22:59] * 13@Jennifer moves over to X and Lilith, looking between them, she helps treat them both.
15[22:59] * 13@Kane tilts his head. 1Maybe I should try to download the map information from her.
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon opens her eyes suddenly.
[22:59] <13Kit> <Chii> Don't mess with her.
09[22:59] <13@Jennifer> "I've got a good measure of supplies, if we need treatment."
[22:59] <13Kit> <Chii> We don't have time.
[23:00] <13@Kane> Ah, she's awake. Good. 6He stands up, reaching out a hand for her.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* John helps Lemon to her feet.
[23:00] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks over at X with concern.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* X's wound is healed slowly by Lilith
[23:00] <13Kit> <Chii> We're in their base. We need to find what we came for and get the fuck out of here now.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> <Voice> I think it's too late for that.
15[23:00] * 13@Jennifer applies medical nanites to both X and Lilith while Chii talks.
04[23:00] <13Kit> 6Lilith winces as she takes the wound unto herself, blinking at Jennifer.
[23:00] <13Kit> 6Chii twitches slightly and pulls her gun up for the voice.
[23:00] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel forces herself to her feet at the voice
15[23:00] * 13@Kane peers towards the voice.
09[23:00] <13@Jennifer> "Should help you both... huh?" *she looks around for the voice.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* John turns to look up. The other Dias with a scar on his face, indicating it's the same one, stands there in his armor.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* A few floors up
[23:01] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly looks up now, eyeing the other Dias.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grits her teeth, spitting out some blood. Lemon eyes the man
[23:01] <13Kit> <Chii> ...Told you this was a bad idea.
15[23:01] * 13@Kane frowns, narrowing his eyes at this Dias.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chii. Get Lemon and go find the device we need now.
[23:01] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> Cheryl, tell me this is life or death.
[23:01] <13Kit> <Chii> What do you mean? I ain't leaving you here.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do it.
[23:02] <13Kit> 6Chii jerks, wincing, then hesitates to get up and move toward lemon.
15[23:02] * 13@Jennifer readies herself.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl motions at the others. "Go with Chii. Protect Lemon until you get that device. She can warp yo uto the next reality, too."
[23:02] <13@Kane> I don't see how leaving you behind will solve anything.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon gets to her feet, glancing at Chii to see what she should do
[23:03] <13Chad`Winters> <Dias> She won't be by herself.
[23:03] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel looks at the other Dias, trying to get her eyes to see straight
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip. John steps up as well.
[23:03] <13Kit> <Chii> The fuck. You're telling me I'm the only one?!
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> <John> All we need to do is slow him enough until you ge the device, then we can all go.
15[23:03] * 13@Jennifer frowns, she joins the three.
[23:03] <13@Kane> Ah. So we're splitting up. Good luck, then. 6He turns to moves over to Chii.
[23:03] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias wipes his hand across his face and forces his other eye open.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other Dias begins to walk down the stairs.
04[23:04] <13Kit> <Chii> ...Grrr... Lemon, grab Jennifer, and start leading again!
04[23:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods, grabs Jennifer, then moves through the door
15[23:04] * 13@Jennifer blinks and gets tugged off. "H-hey!"
15[23:04] * 13@Kane peers at Chii curiously before moving after Lemon.
[23:04] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides his feet apart, his hands raising up.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Also get Lilith and X out of here.
[23:05] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel glances between Cheryl and Lemon quickly
[23:05] <13Kit> <Lilith> ..." 6She looks to X, then grabs Raquel in one hand.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* John punches his fist into his other palm. "Lets do it."
[23:05] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias cracks his knuckles. 1"Time for round 2.
09[23:05] <13@Jennifer> "F-Fine, you can put me down Lemon, I'm coming with..."
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other Dias blurs suddenly, practically on top of Lemon, punching at her stomach
[23:06] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel goes to protest, but doesn't manage any words
[23:06] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dammit!
15[23:06] * 13@Kane pulls up his pistol to fire toward's that Dias' head
[23:06] <13Kit> 6Chii turns and swings her hand upward, glowering, her body changing in the same motion. 1"Final heaven!"
15[23:06] * 13@Jennifer opens ehr eyes wide in surprise but responds by kicking out at alt Dias. "Get off her!"
04[23:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* The other Dias blocks the shots with the hand punching for Lemon. She moves quicker now with Jennifer
[23:06] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes go wide and he twists around to try and find him. His dashes in at the other Dias.
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns and whips out at EDias and yanks him toward her and Dias.
[23:07] <13Kit> 6Chii tries to bury the punching strike in alt Dias while he's blocking, her eyes focused on Lemon
15[23:07] * 13@Jennifer gets dragged off quicker now it seems.
[23:07] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias plants his left foot and swings his left fist in for EDias' face
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Chii's attack would hit EDias before he's yanked in, but it seems to do little, as he swings his feet out and kicks Dias and Cheryl with each, knocking them back and over the railing
[23:07] <13Kit> 6Lilith nudges X along, bringing Raquel with her.
15[23:08] * 13@Kane pulls out a energy knife and activates it, holding it in the hand opposite hand of the pistol. 1Move quickly, Lemon.
[23:08] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs onto Cheryl and twists, throwing her upwards.
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon is already going down the hallway.
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is thrown upwards, smashing through some upper railings
[23:08] <13Kit> 6Chii drops her hand with the attack as Lilith, X and Raquel go by, hitting the floor instead, aiming to break it off and sent the alt Dias after the two he just tossed.
09[23:08] <13@Jennifer> "We can go faster if we both run Lemon."
15[23:08] * 13@Kane glances slightly and moves after her.
[23:08] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns and grabs onto a railing a floor below, jerking to a stop
[23:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Alternate Dias shifts and plants his foot, the ground's shaking stopping. He eyes Chii dangerously, but John tackles him.
[23:09] <13Kit> <Chii> Your days are numbered, Scarface!
[23:09] <13Kit> 6Chii turns to go and catch up to her group, now.
[23:09] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias pants and he swings himself onto the floor and dashes up the stairs and back to the others
[23:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alternate Dias knocks John off with a punch, and sends the man flying into wall. Cheryl leaps down, recovered
[23:10] <13@DeathStar> <John> This is going to go bad.
[23:10] <13Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps onto the railing and kicks off at AltDias
[23:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* The Alternate Dias turns to face Dias, then blurs, grabbing his leg and throat with each hand, and then lifts his knee up, then hurls Dias at it, aiming to break his back.
[23:11] <13Kit> 6Lilith drops Raquel once she's sure she can run on her own, Chii catching up quickly in her adult form given her sprinting speeds.
[23:11] <13@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[23:11] <13@DeathStar> Team: Run Away!
[23:11] <13Kit> <Chii> Lemon! Where are we going?!
04[23:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon leads them down a hallway, having let Jennifer go
[23:12] <13@Kane> I am sure that anywhere is better than where we just were.
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> There is a control room where data is located as well as one of the devices to seek out crystals
15[23:12] * 13@Jennifer heads after her, looking a bit bummed out.
[23:12] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel moves as fast as she can on her own. Her coordination is shot after the explosion though
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* She pauses as she notices two giant machines guarding the next door
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* X is pretty much out of it, despite her wound being healed.
[23:12] <13Kit> <Chii> How far?" 6She pauses, eyeing the machines.
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Another 300 meters.
09[23:12] <13@Jennifer> "It can't ever just be go into the dungeon and grab the treaure, there always has to be guards."
15[23:13] * 13@Kane pauses to peer at the machines, pulling out two discs. 1Hmm.
[23:13] <13Kit> <Chii> Be happy we're skipping the boss fight, Jen.
15[23:13] * 13@Jennifer doesn't look happy. "Okay."
[23:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* The machines turn, then aim at them.
09[23:13] <13@Jennifer> "Uhhh..."
15[23:13] * 13@Kane tosses them towards each of the machines, seeing if electricity will slow them down, or stop them completely.
[23:13] <13Kit> <Chii> You piss me off, but I'm not ready to watch your entrails go flying through the air. You're not ready for an opponent like that.
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane's attacks suddenly stop as they hit a barrier. Suddenly the team is surrounded by barriers.
09[23:14] <13@Jennifer> "Chii?"
[23:14] <13Kit> 6Chii pauses. 1"...Fuck. Again?"
15[23:14] * 13@Kane pauses and frowns. 1This is not good. At all.
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers about a moment. The ground shakes and the ceiling opens up, and the ground rises upward.
15[23:14] * 13@Jennifer looks around and frowns. "I freaking hate barriers."
[23:14] <13Kit> <Chii> Wh-What the hell!?
15[23:14] * 13@Kane peers around quickly. 1 ...
09[23:14] <13@Jennifer> "W-We gotta do something!"
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* They pass through several floors until they're finally outside in a complete vast abyss of darkness that is this reality. At the same time, their oxygen begins to go away.
[23:15] <13Kit> <Chii> Everyone, exhale and hold your breath!" 6She does so.
15[23:15] * 13@Jennifer looks panicked, she does as told though.
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* And to make matters worse, a glowing Tsivrixsh monster begins to approach from the abyss, as if sensing lifeforces.
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon turns and points
15[23:16] * 13@Kane eyes widen and he tries to do what Chii told them too. He eyes the monster and narrows his eyes.
[23:16] <13Kit> 6Chii motions to Lemon, shaking her head and pointing ahead, as if indicating to continue on.
[23:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* The monster touches down on the ground and begins to approach. Lemon looks confused, then indicates down
15[23:16] * 13@Jennifer pulls out her gun, melee not an option, she shakes X a little.
15[23:17] * 13@Kane aims his rifle and fires a shot towards the monster.
[23:17] <13Kit> 6Chii moves quickly forward along the roof in the direction they were headed. At least this way they don't need to go through tons more doors and enemies.
[23:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* The monster suddenly rushes at them, it's glowing hands reaching out. It reaches out for X, and it's fingers begin to come down at it
[23:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* And then slams down at her
[23:17] <13@DeathStar> -TBC-
[23:18] <13@DeathStar> Well, I hoped you enjoy the 18th Season of TAW4
15[23:18] * 13@Kane notes it was mean and evil.
