[20:00] <01@DeathStar> Reality Day: 36
[20:00] <01@DeathStar> Location: The Tavern
[20:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Morning. Cheryl sits in the bar at a large table with John and others, discussing the plans to invade an actual base held by the enemy.
[20:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane sits there with his arms crossed.
[20:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole has his head down on the table, probably sleeping still.
[20:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* John leans back on his seat. "So, who needs me to go over things again?"
06[20:02] * 01@Jennifer sits there, eating her breakfast and listening quietly so far. Cameron has situated himself apart but nearby, having taken the time to groom himself he looks far more clean cut then he ever has.
[20:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole slowly raises his hand. 1I missed some of that. 1He mumbles into his other arm.
[20:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole slowly raises his hand. 1I missed some of that. 6He mumbles into his other arm.
[20:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just nods once, leaning back in her seat. John eyes Cole. <John> Well, minus 5 cool points
06[20:04] * 01@Jennifer smiles softly and looks down at the table, drinking some cider.
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> <John> Basically, once we enter the reality, they'll flag us pretty quickly. There's a town we'll enter, near their base - the town is under their protection.
[20:05] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Use the crowd to try and blend in?
[20:05] <01@DeathStar> <John> Won't be near one.
[20:05] <01@DeathStar> <John> Also chances are they'll set up devices to prevent us from synching up again until we take them out.
[20:05] <01@DeathStar> <John> Best idea would be to have a reality in mind to jump to invididually and hope the time difference isn't great.
06[20:06] * 01@Jennifer nods a bit. "Do we have one in mind?"
[20:06] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I will set up an address into each device once we arrive.
[20:06] <01@DeathStar> <John> We won't have a lot of time for you to do that individually. Might should do it now
[20:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drums her fingers a few times in thought
[20:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods and brings up the next reality onto his datapad. Then moves around and manually begins to enter.
[20:08] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> So this sounds like a suicide mission. With us being down the members that we are, is it really worth the risk?
[20:08] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You don't have to come. 6* She notes.
01[20:08] <01@Jennifer> I'm taking it they'll simply assume we're breaking our agreement by showing up there.
[20:08] <01@DeathStar> <John> They already think that, considering they'd know about Lemon by now
01[20:08] <01@Jennifer> Oh... yeah.
[20:08] <01Kit> <Chii> And if they're smart they'd assume we would anyway. We're that kind of people.
[20:09] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I take offense to that. 6He notes, adjusting Cole's device.
[20:09] <01@DeathStar> <John> Basically, they're probably expecting you - maybe not this soon, but eventually. It'll be pretty much a straight forward fight
06[20:09] * 01@Jennifer frowns a bit.
[20:09] <01Kit> <Chii> You take offense to being a free-thinker?
[20:09] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I like fighting. I think it'll be fun.
[20:09] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I take offense to being one that would betray.
[20:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott crosses his arms, peers at the address, then adds it into his own device himself.
01[20:10] <01@Jennifer> In a way we sort of did right from the start.
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> <John> Those with the same reality signatures as Cheryl's will be flagged faster, I imagine.
[20:10] <01Kit> <Chii> It's not about betrayal. We're free people-- we were forced into an agreement we never wanted to make, so we'll naturally gravitate toward the only decision that's free. A radical one outside the agreement.
02[20:10] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
06[20:10] * 01@Jennifer looks about. "We're actually low on people with that reality signature."
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Perhaps. Might be best to let you all go in first.
[20:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane hmms and doesn't go add anything more as he puts the address in Chii's device.
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> <John> Having crystals would make them targets, too.
[20:11] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes Kane, then hangs her head. 1"Sorry, whatever. I know I'm a bitch that doesn't earn anyone's trust because I do whatever I want anyway."
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> <John> I trust you. 6* He grins
[20:11] <01Kit> <Chii> It's all I've aspired to be. Free to do whatever I want. It's something I know best.
01[20:11] <01@Jennifer> "That makes everyone but you a target Sensei."
[20:11] <01Kit> 6Chii makes a face at John, but gives him a thumbs up.
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> <John> Oh, I'd be a target. Unless I claimed to capture you all with a change of heart.
[20:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head to eye Chii amd then shrugs slightly. 1I think if we don't go all together, as a force, they'll pick us off easier.
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You go in with me, you'll be focused on sooner than otherwise.
01[20:12] <01@Jennifer> "Time differences too, we could show up weeks apart for all we know."
[20:12] <01Kit> <Chii> I can make a diversion.
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> <John> Time doesn't matter in this reality.
01[20:12] <01@Jennifer> "Well... that's fancy."
[20:12] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes John. 1"A lot of technology in the place, right?
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> <John> In the base itself.
[20:13] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Think they'll have a spare arm laying around?
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> <John> No idea.
[20:13] <01Kit> <Chii> So if I sent Ixion off to fry whatever he can with voltages off the chart, you think it'd be a good distraction?
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> <John> No. I think he'd be taken out.
[20:13] <01Kit> 6Chii jerks. 1"What?'
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> <John> This place was made to defend against corruption. Your summon won't matter much in the scheme of their firepower. You give them a big target to hit, they'll hit it
01[20:14] <01@Jennifer> If corruption can't get in, how're we supposed to?"
[20:14] <01Kit> <Chii> How do you... defend against that ...stuff?
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> <John> Right now we've been working with barriers - at least when I was with the group
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> <John> Designed to repel and destroy.
[20:15] <01Kit> <Chii> I couldn't find anything that affected it.
[20:15] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Yes I believe that would be very effective. If it worked.
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> <John> They're powered by crystals
[20:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane finishes with the last device, Cheryl's and then sits down.
[20:15] <01Kit> <Chii> If that's the case it worries me even more.
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl chews on her fingernail in thought
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <John> I did say this was probably a foolhearty mission. 6* He notes cheerfully
[20:16] <01Kit> 6Chii shrugs. 1"It seemed like a parasitic entity that consumed anything in its path-- and it devours crystal worlds, so... wouldn't empowering something with crystals not necessarily ward it, but just give it a bigger meal-- one that takes longer to digest?"
01[20:16] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Sounds like bloody suicide still, but that seems to be this team's choice of mission."
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <John> The crystals are the key to beating the corruption. Rememeber?
[20:16] <01Kit> <Chii> In unison, I heard.
01[20:17] <01@Jennifer> Some aspect of them might stop the corruption then?
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* John leans back in his seat. "We don't have the answers to fully beating the corruption. It's still being looked into."
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> <John> I'm just saying, your summon will do little good.
[20:17] <01Kit> <Chii> I get it, already.
[20:17] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Myths and rumors are a dangerous thing to rely on.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <John> If we all go in together, we need to move fast and hard.
[20:18] <01Kit> <Chii> It should be stronger now, but back then even Said went hand to hand with Celsius, yeah... a fortress or army would probably just swat him.
[20:18] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> As fast and hard. Now that's my style.
01[20:18] <01@Jennifer> So risk getting picked off one by one or risk alerting them right away they we're there.
[20:18] <01@Xanatos> NRP: ah*
[20:18] <01Kit> <Chii> It's most men's style.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I could go in first, with those from my reality.
[20:19] <01Kit> 6Chii rolls her eyes. 1"And quick to tire out."
[20:19] <01Kit> 6Chii sighs. 1"This reminds me of the first time we stepped on their territory. And that was a pain in the ass.."
[20:19] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I never tire. I'm a machine.
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That'll draw their attention and let the rest of you come in and find Lemon.
06[20:19] * 01@Jennifer looks about again.
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott peers back and forth
[20:19] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I would prefer not splitting up. It minimizes chances of success.
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's my call. 6* She tells Kane.
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Staying together is riskier, if we believe John.
[20:19] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I know. I'm just voicing my opinion.
01[20:20] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> While stayin together has it's advantages, sending in the troops quietly can often gain favor.
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers about, then eyes Chii. Their reality's numbers are down
[20:20] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> So you and Chii will create a diversion, then?
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes.
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> <John> Word of advice, don't get into your big dragon form. Big target.
[20:21] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I could go with you, Cheryl. To give you some extra fire power.
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I imagine they'd need you in the base itself.
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chii and I can move stealthily with her ninja skills after we initially get their attention
[20:21] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Oh. I'm not stealthy at all.
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> <John> We all have our allocated points.
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Does everyone have everything in order before we go?
[20:23] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. I believe I am all set. 6He notes with a nod.
06[20:23] * 01@Jennifer holds up her hand with the rings on it. "Are we okay with how these are handed out? If someone else needs them..."
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> If anyone wants me ring... 6* He offers
[20:24] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> We don't even know if they'll work in another reality. It's best not to rely on them until we know.
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Kane's right
01[20:25] <01@Jennifer> "Okay. I guess I'll find out if someone gets hurt then."
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* John leans over to give Cheryl the address, who enters it before the one Kane picked. She stands up.
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright, I'll sync up with Chii. How long will you all wait, John? <John> 10 minutes would be best
[20:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Cheryl and stands up. 1I'll sync up the others.
06[20:26] * 01@Jennifer looks at Cheryl and Chii before looking down to hide a worried look.
01[20:27] <01@Jennifer> You two be careful alright?
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Planned on it. 6* She looks around the bar at the various other people, then shifts to lead Chii to the bedrooms.
[20:27] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> They're a bunch of tough old broads. They'll be fine.
06[20:28] * 01@Jennifer watches them go. "I know... just... nevermind."
04[20:28] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Scott peers at Jennifer
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <John> So, anyone got any good jokes...? 6* He asks. Kane would detect Cheryl and Chii vanish
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers at John and motions for him to give him the address.
01[20:29] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron quirks a brow and puts away his notebook.
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Oh. I have one.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* John shows it to him, all secretively.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> <John> Let us hear it
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane begins to sync them up, watching the time.
[20:30] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Cameron. 6He thumbs towards him with a smile.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Cameron
01[20:30] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron peers over at him. "I am quite the punchline."
[20:30] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Meaning you get the shit kicked out of you on a regular basis, yeah
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> <John> I forgot her was here - being apart but near
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> *e
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> *he
[20:31] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Poetic. 6He breathes.
01[20:31] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> Someone had to fill the boy's role.
06[20:31] * 01@Jennifer frowns at Cameron.
01[20:32] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron just fixes his coat a bit and peers over at them, a bit more impassive then usual.
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> <John> So.... 6* He thinks. "If we save Lemon, do you think she'll wear a sexy waitress outfit like Cheryl?"
06[20:33] * 01@Jennifer blushes. "W-Well... I think she likes dressing up like that."
[20:33] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I'd prefer her be wearing nothing, right? Right?
[20:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes them both.
06[20:34] * 01@Jennifer blinks and looks at Cole, the red changing to another kind of red.
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Cole
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> <John> Wouldn't that be a bad thing?
[20:34] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I dunno. Naked chicks are bad?
06[20:35] * 01@Jennifer looks down at the table and fidgets.
01[20:35] <01@Jennifer> "I just hope she's okay..."
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* John whispers to Cole why being naked in bad guy territory is bad
[20:35] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> OH. I thought you meant after we left reality and got a break from them and everything.
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> <John> Oh. Well. Cheryl would never allow that
[20:36] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Oh well. Mental thoughts and everything.
[20:36] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> It's almost time. Are we all ready?
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> <John> Yep
06[20:36] * 01@Jennifer hops up from her seat. "Ready."
01[20:37] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron nods a bit to Kane.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* John rises to his feet.
[20:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane lets the minute timer tick down and then hits the button.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* They appear in the town square of what appears to be more of a village with modern looking technology than a city. In the distance is a large mechanical base that goes as far as the eye can see, with 50 feet metal walls surrounding it, and energy plasma running along the top.
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers about - there's no sign of Scott, since he wasn't synched with them. "No guards here. That's a good thing I think."
[20:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances around quickly, then peers towards the base. 1Hm. That does seem pretty difficult to enter.
06[20:40] * 01@Jennifer looks about as well quietly. "So... what now?"
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* There's no sign of civilians right now, either
[20:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks around and then points forward. 1Go?
01[20:40] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron adjusts his coat and looks at the base. "Nothing else for it, is there?"
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> <John> Any ideas how to get past the gate, then, mate?
01[20:41] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "We could always use Cole as a battering ram, gov."
[20:42] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I'll pass.
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* John continues to look around, frowning. "No sign of the civilians. They might have made them go inside once Cheryl showed up."
[20:42] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> WHich means we should get out of the open in any event.
[20:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around for an alley of sorts to move for.
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> <John> Right. That's why you're the XO, 10101 Boy.
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* The designs of the buildings leave little spaces between them - though there seems to be some areas off to the side where they could duck into
[20:43] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Since you have experience with this world, I'll defer to you for now. 6He moves for one of those areas.
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* John blinks, then rubs the back of his head. "Well, not really, actually."
06[20:43] * 01@Jennifer blinks a bit and follows after Kane. Cameron eyes John. "You said you've been here before... right?"
[20:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers over his shoulder. 1OH? Well that makes this a bit more challenging.
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> <John> Not particularly here.
[20:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tilts his head, then moves along.
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* John shifts into the little area beside a building, adjusting his tactical suit to his brown coat layout
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> <John> We could try teleporting past the gate
[20:45] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> IF it fails I'm pretty much fucked, right?
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> <John> Maybe? Probably.
[20:45] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You can teleport right? You first.
01[20:45] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron shakes his head and moves into the area as well, Jennifer moves in, having changed her suit already, she simply adjusts the top a bit.
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> <John> Not really ,no.
[20:46] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane quietly looks over the building, knows that there's little chance they could find a visibile weakness.
[20:46] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> What do you mean not really? I've seen you do it once.
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> <John> I don't really teleport, no. I move fast.
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> <John> Really fast.
[20:47] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Ooooh. SPiffy. Well. Everyone touch me then. But be gentle.
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Cole, then places his hand on Cole's butt.
01[20:47] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron puts his hand on Cole's back, Jennifer puts her hand on his arm gently.
[20:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane rubs his face slowly. 1If this fails... 6He frowns and touches Cole.
[20:48] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Alright. Well. Say your prayers. OH this is going to tingle.
01[20:48] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "I imagine if it fails we won't be able to yell at him."
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole shifts to look forward and then tenses but pauses. 1Wait. Where am I teleporting too?
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> <John> Other side of the gate, I'd imagine.
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> They thicker than 10 feet?
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> <John> Probably.
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tilts his head. 1So...50 feet?
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they talk, troops begin to head in their direction, armed in battle suits and rifles.
01[20:50] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Think much harder and we'll be getting in the easy way, in chains."
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> <John> Well, lets see, we're about.... ..... 100 meters from the wall now. Assume the wall is 15 meters.
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> <John> And assume we'd want another 10 just to be safe...
[20:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole coughs and then tenses, attempting to teleport them the 125 meters.
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Everyone would feel a tingle that numbs their bodies as they pass through the wall. John stumbles
[20:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane falls to a knee, holding his chest. Cole tilts his head, looking aroud dumbly. 1That tingled more than normal.
06[20:52] * 01@Jennifer hugs onto Cole's arm to try and keep balance, Cameron falls over.
04[20:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole toppes over thanks to Jennifer.
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* John shakes his arm, trying to get feeling back. "Stupid defenses."
[20:52] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> How long before we get feeling back? 6He attempts to get back to his feet.
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> <John> Depends on your healing rate, I guess. 6* He seems to be recovering
03[20:53] * Jackieness (Psy@h120.166.18.98.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they talk, the base doors open up and more troops begin to pour out
[20:53] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and pushes himself to his feet slowly. 1Well I don't think we have the time to spare, really.
01[20:53] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron groans a bit and starts to work on picking himself up, Jennifer looks up and her eyes widen. "Not good..."
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> <John> Did I mention this mission might be one way?
01[20:54] <01@Jennifer> "A hundred times or so Sensei."
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* John looks at Cole. "Can you teleport again?"
[20:54] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Yeah. Yeah. Just grab on. 6He shakes his head. 1Where?
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> <John> If we can reach the roof, we might get a few minutes. What you think, Binary?
01[20:55] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Can'd bloddy feew my tong."
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* John touches Cole as the troops begin to take up positions and aim at them
[20:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane grabs onto Cole and nods. Cole reaches out to grab Jen and Camron and tries to teleport up to the roof.
06[20:55] * 01@Jennifer grabs onto Cole again, Cameron grabs Cole's leg.
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they reach the roof, they can peer down - the base itself is about 7 stories it seems - around them are circular lines in the roof, all lined up perfectly along the edge.
[20:56] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around quickly, eyeing the lines. 1What are those?
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> <John> Probably guns
[20:57] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Interesting. We should probably move inside, then.
01[20:57] <01@Jennifer> "So... moving is a good idea right?"
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> <John> I don't see any way inside, though
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers about
[20:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole huffs. 1M-Make one, then.
01[20:58] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron touches the roof, "I can try to."
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they talk, one of the circles opens and a gun rises up from it, turning to aim toward the town and fires a blast at a certain area.
01[20:58] <01@Jennifer> "...Huh... I think they found Cheryl."
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* A dragon mech rises and lets the blast impact their hand.
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> <John> I told her not to use the dragon form.
01[20:59] <01@Jennifer> "That's liek telling her not to drink."
[20:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tenses, eyeing the guns, then the mech. 1Damnit. I need to find a console, to try and take them offline.
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> <John> Well, they want her alive, at least. So they're probably only firing enough power to wear her down
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tenses, then dashes forward, leaping over the wall and landing in the area around the base, scatterin soldiers. More guns begin to rise up as circles open
01[21:00] <01@Jennifer> "Probably why we're not surrounded yet... they're focusing on their prize target."
[21:00] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> We should take the guns out, give her more of a fighting chance. It'll also increase our chances one inside if she's still active out here.
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> <John> Those guns are pretty sturdy. We'd need to get inside probably to do any real damage.
[21:01] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Then hurry. 6He snaps to Cameron.
[21:01] <01Kit> 6The mech forms seals with the hands, then holds a hand down, raising pillars of earth from the ground, then springs forward, smashing one with an elbow, then twisting to kick and punch at the others, using them for shields, but breaking them to spray rabble and rubble.
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* The soldiers stumble from the rockfall
01[21:01] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron nods and draws out a circle on the rooftop, he puts his hands down and attempts to use alchemy to create a hole in the surface.
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* The guns begin to fire at Cheryl in constant firing patterns - sadly, there's too many to fully dodge, so Cheryl uses her arm to block what she can
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Each shot seems to deplete energy rather than injure
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* CAmeron creates a hole, only for more roof to be under it. It's too thick
01[21:02] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron puts on his glasses. "This could take a while. Someone's a bastard with surfaces."
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* One gun turns to aim at them.
[21:03] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Uh. Guys.
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> <John> Ruh roh
06[21:03] * 01@Jennifer blinks and looks around. "...Eep."
[21:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tenses and slides his hand into his pocket.
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> <John> The surface where the guns rise up might be thinner, Cameron
[21:03] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Hey you think they'd just use full force on us?
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* The gun fires at them - it seems full force
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* John grabs JEn and elaps to the side
[21:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks to dive to the side.
01[21:04] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron nods and gets up, running away from the blast then towards the cannon.
[21:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks to teleport to beside the gun, attempting to grab it and aim it for another gun.
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* As Cole grabs it, he'd find it doesn't move well at all
[21:04] <01Kit> 6The mech shifts, either seeing or sensing the higher energy and fires a shot for it.
[21:05] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> ...it's because I'm one armed isn't it.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* The blast flies at Cole and the gun
[21:05] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> HEY! 6He dives away from it.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* The gun is hit hard, sparking and twitching now as it's circuits are exposed
01[21:05] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron stops short when he sees the incoming blast.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* John gets to his feet.
06[21:05] * 01@Jennifer pulls herself up and gives John a smile. "Thanks."
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* The other blasts keep firing into Cheryl, wearing her down. She activates her whip, coils it around a fist, then punches into a gun on the far end, smashing it up
[21:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pushes himself to his feet. 1Maybe I can rewire it to fire at the other guns. 6He muses.
01[21:06] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Or I can try to blast the whole thing and get us a way down, up to you Kane."
[21:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pushes himself up and sighs. 1That was underhanded...
[21:06] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Go ahead.
[21:07] <01Dias`> 6A soldier rides up on one of the gun turrents and opens fire on Kane.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls. <These things are getitng annoying."
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers back. "Oh great, they stole my idea."
01[21:07] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron moves over to the cannon and draws a small symbol at it's base, he attempts to destroy the base of the cannon.
[21:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to run to the right away from the others.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cameron succeeds in only damaging it enough it stops firing
01[21:07] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "I... weakened it?"
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Soldiers on the ground recover, then fire EMP blasts into Cheryl that seemed design to affect Dragoons.
[21:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls out a silver disc and throws it forward for the turret that the soldier is on.
[21:08] <01Dias`> 6The Soldier leaps backwards off the turrent and moves to the side of it, firing shots towards Cameron now
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* The gun turrent aims at Kane and fires at the disc.
[21:08] <01Kit> 6The mech recoils, then stops wasting power on shots and rampages stomping at the soldiers doing so.
[21:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole shifts around and pulls up his arm, it's now in minigun form and he opens fire on the soldier.
[21:09] <01Dias`> 6The soldier swings around to hide behind the turret now as Cole fires
01[21:09] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron throws up a quick shield of ice from the air as he leaps away.
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* John moves in to the side of the soldier, running low and fast.
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* The gun turrents keep shooting Cheryl as they stomp on soldiers, who scatter, their attack stopped
[21:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane dives to the side in a roll as the disc explodes, the pulls up his hand and attempts to send lightning for the turret if it actually works, if not he'd just frown and continue moving right.
06[21:09] * 01@Jennifer pulls out her gun and charges it up.
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* The lightning zaps the turrent ,causing it to momentarily stop firing
[21:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves in quickly, trying to get to the barrel before it can resume it's firing sequence.
06[21:10] * 01@Jennifer fires a charged blast at shocked turret.
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Jen's blast does nothing
[21:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole continues to fire at the man, to keep him pinned down.
04[21:10] <01Dias`> 6The Soldier leans back out from behind the turret and fires at Jennifer now
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* John swings in at the soldier from the other side Cole is firing, punching at him to get him to back up into the shots
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane would reach it just as it begins to repower
06[21:11] * 01@Jennifer eeps and rolls to the side, gasping a bit as the shot clips the side of her arm, the tact suit taking damage.
[21:11] <01Dias`> 6The Soldier is hit and sent flying into cole's shots
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> <John> Punch Fire Strike.
[21:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane quickly tries to shove two explosive discs into the barrel before diving away.
[21:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole stops firing to let John follow up.
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* John dashes in and kicks down at the soldier
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* The turrent explodes inside and begins to smoke, aiming at the roof
[21:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole slides in and bringing his elbow up for the final strike.
[21:12] <01Dias`> 6The soldiers bounces off the ground and then is elbowed
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes the turret warily, then tilts his head. 1I think I may know a way in.
06[21:13] * 01@Jennifer holsters her gun at the reminder that it's useless as she picks herself up. Cameron eyes the turret. "Do tell."
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to speak to Chii. "We might need to get on the roof while I have energy."
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Make it shoot the ground.
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> NRP: er roof.
01[21:14] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "I could try reshaping a barrel."
[21:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane just moves forward and tries to get to the turret, to see if he can find a manual firing mechanism.
06[21:15] * 01@Jennifer frowns and looks warily at the cannons herself.
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* There appears to be none
[21:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole eyes the soldier to see what he's going to do.
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* The cannons keep firing into Cheryl, who tenses and leaps up into the air, aiming to come down on some fo them.
[21:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane narrows his eyes and hits it once. 1Damnit.
03[21:16] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) has joined #taw
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes the damaged one Cameron was hitting earlier. "Back to Plan A, then?"
01[21:17] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "We could just have our fearless leader bash on it." *he calmly points at Cheryl*
[21:17] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Yes. Keep at it. 6He attempts to try to get into the wiring to learn more about it.
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* The one with the wires exposed would be Cameron's.
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lands on two guns ,crushing them slightly, but not enough to get through the roof. She splits into her normal form and dives behind one so others can't target her.
[21:18] <01Kit> 6Chii rolls behind the other gun, peering over. 1"...Can you make it that far at this point?"
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her . "What?"
01[21:18] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron eyes Kane. "If you want me to, may want to stand back gov."
[21:18] <01Kit> <Chii> The roof.
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We're on it now.
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives her an odd look
[21:19] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I said go ahead. 6He hasn't moved to the wired one yet.
[21:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole begins to charge up his minigun.
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* The guns turn to aim at the team now that Cheryl and Chii are taking cover behind some. They try to line up shots now
01[21:20] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron nods and moves over to it, he draws a symbol and attempts to eat through the part of the roof the turret came up through with his alchemy.
[21:20] <01Kit> 6Chii takes out both of her blades and turns them on, trying to bury them into the base of the cannon.
[21:20] <01Kit> <Chii> Fuckers, had your fun..
[21:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole aims his minigun for one and fires all barrel towards it.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii very, very slowly sinks her weapons in - it'll take time
06[21:20] * 01@Jennifer keeps on her toes, attempting not to be a sitting duck.
[21:20] <01Kit> 6Chii makes a face. 1"Suiton, merge art!"
[21:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes the cannons and frowns. 1Hmm. 6He throws out a shocking disc for one.
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cameron eats through the roof slowly, then makes a small hole - he can see the area the turrent rides up is deep.
01[21:21] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Who's a fan of long climbs downward?"
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cole's shots hit the gun turrent, but seem to be damaging it slowly so far as well - they fire a blast at him. Kane's shocking disc hits one, but seems to do miminal damage
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> <John> Not much choice, I think
[21:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole acks and dives to the side in a roll.
01[21:22] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron nods and works on increasing the hole.
[21:22] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Quickly. Get in the hole.
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* John moves over and pushes Cameron in, then leaps in
01[21:22] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Bloody heeeeelllllll!"
06[21:22] * 01@Jennifer blinks and moves over toward the hole.
[21:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane backs up for it, pulling out two energy knives, he drop sin.
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl motions at the others. "Looks like we got a way in." 6* She begins to run for it, drawing gun fire
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cameron would fall adn fall and fall - about 30 meters if he doesn't stop himself.
[21:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole flips up to his feet and dashes for the hole, jumps in.
[21:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to dig the knives into the wall to slow himself.
01[21:23] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron claps his ahnds together and throws them out, creating an air cushion.
06[21:23] * 01@Jennifer looks at them falling. Then back at the others.
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* John lands on Cameron, stopping his fall, then hops to the bottom. There's an exit hatch on the bottom, probably to reach the gun to do repairs
04[21:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* A gun turrent aims at Jennifer and fires
06[21:24] * 01@Jennifer eeps and leaps down.
[21:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slides in after the blast hits the area Jen was at and goes in
[21:24] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tries to use his katar to slow him down.
[21:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* The katar and energy knives barely affect the metal, but they do cause some slow down
01[21:25] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron stumbles as he comes to a landing. Jennifer meanwhile holds out her hand and tries to make a jet of water to slow herself down, not having much else.
[21:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane and Cole would spring for the hatch when they come to it, respectively.
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* John steps back as they leap
04[21:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* The water would hurt a bit, but it slows Jennifer down
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists herself and lands roughly in a kneeling position. The guns fire at Chii now, since she's on the roof.
06[21:26] * 01@Jennifer oofs and lands soaking wet.
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Even if they have to hit the turrent she's attacking to do it
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up slowly, then peers up at the hole, waiting for Chii it seems . John shakes his arm. <John> Well, we're in.
[21:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances around. 1They'll be coming for us soon, we need to keep moving. Any idea where they'll be keeping Lemon?
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> <John> I don't know.
06[21:27] * 01@Jennifer looks around, taking a headcount.
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* The turrent is hit and explodes, sending Chii flying
01[21:28] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "With our luck in the dead center behind a myriad of defenses."
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* And damaging her
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. Chii...
[21:28] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods and pulls out his pistol, moving forward and looking for a console.
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* There appears to be nothing in here - just the exit hatch
[21:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves over and then activates his device, to see what's past the hatch.
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* IT statics, then only gives him a few meters - a hallway, it seems
[21:29] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I could teleport up and get her. 6He notes.
[21:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to open the hatch, keeping his pistol ready.
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> .. 6 *She nods to COle. "Thank you."
[21:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tenses and teleports up, peering around quickly for Chii.
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane would open it to a maintenance hallway - dozens of hatches are all along it, probably to the various guns - at the end is only one door to lead out - the hallway itself is narrow, leaving only 5 feet space to move through on either side, and 7 feet height
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii is off to the side, damaged somewhat - her tail is frizzed and a bit smokey.
[21:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole runs towards her.
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* The guns aim at Cole, firing at him
06[21:31] * 01@Jennifer looks between Kane and Cheryl.
[21:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tenses and leaps forward once he's close enough, trying to use his electric shield to hold the blasts off until he can reach Chii.
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* The shield is taken out in two hits, but he does reach Chi
[21:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tchs at the size and moves forward, holding his pistol ready, knowing they're bottlenecked right now
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* John follows Kane.
[21:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole grabs her and attempts to teeleport back down.
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> <John> Best to get out of here fast.
[21:32] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I agree. With the power power they tote, we won't put up much of a fight.
06[21:32] * 01@Jennifer heads after John.
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps forward once Cole arrives, taking Chii. She nods to him, then grabs into her tactical suit at the breasts and grabs a nanoshot and gives it to her
[21:33] <01Kit> <Chii> H-Hey! HEY! Ow!
[21:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole stumbles and puts his hand to his head. 1Yeah I'm about out of energy now. 6He breathes, stumbling after the others.
01[21:33] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron watches the others a moment then heads after Cole.
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll cover you. 6* She nods, then shifts to follow with Chii. Kane and John reach the hatch
[21:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane checks to see if his map will give him any details about the other side, pressing up against it.
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* No more than before - just another hallway it seems.
[21:34] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane attempts to open in, moving forward again.
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* The hatch is locked.
[21:34] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and frowns. 1Damnit.
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> <John> ....
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Gas begins to come out of the vents. Cheryl lifts her head up
[21:35] <01Kit> <Chii> I fucking hate shots." 6She groans.
[21:35] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane growns and peers around for a console, but being a maitenence shaft, it's doubtful.
[21:35] <01Kit> <Chii> ...What's that smell?
06[21:35] * 01@Jennifer blinks and looks a moment, pulling her shirt up over her face, exposing her belly. "Gas..."
[21:35] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Cameron, try to eat through the lock.
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* There doesn't appear to be one
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl covers Chii's face
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* John holds his breath
[21:35] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole glances up and tilts his head oddly, not needing to breath.
[21:35] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane also holds his breath.
01[21:36] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron frowns and tries to squeeze past the others, he draws a circle and attempts to make an opening for them.
[21:36] <01Kit> <Chii> Hrmmrrmghhhmpgh!
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cameron eats through the door lock and it slides open automatically
[21:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane aims forward with his pistol, moving forward.
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* John steps in, taking in a breath of fres hair. Cheryl moves through and uncovers Chii's mouth - the hallway ,now a normal size, goes left and right
01[21:37] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron lets Kane get ahead of him and follows. Jenn moves forward after John.
[21:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole moves along and glances left and right.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> <John> So, left or right?
[21:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane hmms and pulls out a credit, then flips it.
[21:38] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Left.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Kane now, then begins to laugh
01[21:38] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Excellent."
06[21:38] * 01@Jennifer pulls her shirt down once clear and lets out a breath.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* John goes to step forward - behind them the sounds of footsteps can be heard.
[21:39] <01Kit> <Chii> Hey Cheryl. I can, uh, walk on my own, y'know. Though I kind of like this." 6She bats her eyes at Cheryl, holding onto her neck.
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, then sets Chii down
[21:39] <01Kit> <Chii> Tch.
06[21:39] * 01@Jennifer blinks and looks behind.
[21:39] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Left indeed. Let's move. I'll set a trap. 6He begins to wire up a trip laser.
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* To the left/infront, the sound of skittering can be herad.
[21:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tilts his head. 1What the hell is that?
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> <John> ... Sounds like Spider-bots.
01[21:40] <01@Jennifer> "Dunno... don't like it... spider-whats?"
[21:40] <01Kit> <Chii> ...Y'know, for some reason that was my guess, but..
[21:40] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> S-Spider bots?
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* John points - little spider robots walk along the ceiling, then aim lasers at them
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a face, activating her whip
[21:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks his hands up and aims for the bots, firing.
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cole blows them away - more begin to skitter out of vents
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* John tenses, then runs for it while Cole shoots at them
[21:41] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> ...I don't like these things!
[21:41] <01Kit> 6Chii forms seals, then holds out a hand for the vents, calling out a lightning bolt directly into them.
[21:41] <01@Xanatos> 6Cole shoots towards the vent.
06[21:41] * 01@Jennifer pulls out her gun and runs after John. Cameron sends a gout of flame up one of the vents.
[21:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane finishes setting up his trap and then moves after John quickly.
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bots are fried and fall down, tightening into balls like dead spiders do
01[21:41] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron moves quickly after the others.
[21:41] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> ... 6Cole shivers and runs after the others.
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* One drops down to land on Cole's back
[21:42] <01Kit> 6Chii darts forward and high-kicks, just close enough to shave it off
[21:42] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> AHh! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF!
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* IT goes flying off, bounces along the walls until it smacks Jen in the leg
[21:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole lets out a breath. 1Thanks! 6He smiles and moves over and tries to stomp it.
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head, moving ahead.
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cole crushes it
06[21:43] * 01@Jennifer eeks and whimpers. "That hurt a bit."
06[21:43] * 01@Jennifer moves after John.
[21:43] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Land on MY back. 6He hmphs and moves along.
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they run, they begin to pass various doors. John seems to be ignoring them as he goes.
01[21:43] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Mighty Cole the Spider Slayer."
06[21:43] * 01@Jennifer just keeps after John for now, since he seems to know where he's going.
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> <John> Becareful of them, some are small enough to hide in your clothes.
[21:44] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Any reason why you're going past these doors?
01[21:44] <01@Jennifer> "Now I'm creeped out."
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> <John> They shouldn't be important.
[21:44] <01Kit> <Chii> How do you know?
[21:44] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Yes. I'm curious about that as well.
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> <John> I can't know - but if this base is like any other, the elevators should be near the end of the hallway.
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> <John> You want to check, though, go ahead.
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Behind them, Kane's trap is activated.
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* It's a few discs wired to explode the corner.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* John stops finally at a door, then hits the door open button. It just beeps at him
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Locked?
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> <John> Yeah; probably the right door.
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps up, eyeing the door, then grabs at it and begins to wrench it open with her strength alone.
[21:46] <01Kit> 6Chii steps back a bit and checks another door.
[21:46] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm.
02[21:46] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* It opens up to reveal another long hallway
06[21:46] * 01@Jennifer frowns at it. Then watches Cheryl in amazement.
[21:46] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole moves to help Cheryl, using his one armed leet strength.
[21:46] <01Kit> 6Chii stares, then runs across to open another.
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strains, her muscles tensing and veins showing up. With Cole's help, they manage to get it open a foor and a half.
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Another hallway.
[21:46] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to peer in and see how far down it goes.
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane would see a hallway with cameras set up at the end by a large door
06[21:47] * 01@Jennifer peers back the way they came.
04[21:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer would see spider-bots taking aim on the ceiling
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Ah. Hm. 6He slips in, eyeing the camera.
01[21:47] <01@Jennifer> "Guys, more spiderbots. About to shoot."
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole strains, teeth clenched. 1Heavy. Go. Now.
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes a few breaths, then slides in. John peers back, then sucks in his breath and slides in
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl then grabs it on the other side of Cole
[21:48] <01Kit> 6Chii quickdraws, firing in burstfire-mode, but adjusting her gun so each bullet hits other spiders.
[21:48] <01Kit> <Chii> Got it.
06[21:48] * 01@Jennifer slides in, Cameron gives the bots a parting gout of flame and slides in.
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spiders are hit, falling off to the floor, but not destroyed
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and shifting to slide in, but still hold the door open. 1Chii!
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* They charge at Chii - all 12.
[21:48] <01Kit> 6Chii finishes a seal with her other hand, swiping it toward them. 1"Hyoton!" 6She calls, summoning freezing wind.
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes the cameras. "If they spot you, they'll go !."
[21:49] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ...it's a shame I don't have a chaff grenade.
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bots slow down as they're iced.
[21:49] <01Kit> 6Chii then backs up and through their new hall.
[21:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole releases the door once Chii is in.
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> <John> Probably the elevator is locked down, too, so them seeing us matters little.
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps back.
[21:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole breathes heavy.
01[21:49] <01@Jennifer> "So what do we do?"
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Teh elevator doors suddenly open.
[21:50] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hm. 6He pauses and eyes the doors, pulling his pistol up to aim./
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* John tenses, then eyes the empty elevator
[21:50] <01Kit> <Chii> At this point they know who we were, where we are and why we're here. It's just a matter of not letting them route us to where they want us.
[21:50] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> That most certainly seems like a trap.
06[21:50] * 01@Jennifer slowly looks over at the doors opening. "Anyone else feel like screamin trap?"
[21:50] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I think we should take it.
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> <John> I doubt they'd make it easy on us.
[21:51] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> They want Cheryl. They'll lead us to a place where they can get a better position.
[21:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves forward for the elevator.
03[21:51] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) has joined #taw
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl follows after him, and John moves along
[21:51] <01Dias`> 6Gun shots suddenly fly out from the elevator aimed low for their legs.
06[21:51] * 01@Jennifer looks at Kane, then the others and follows him, Cameron moves along after them.
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* John grabs Kane and yanks hi mback
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Then howls as he's hit
[21:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane is yanked back, arching a brow. 1... 6He tosses a small capsule for the elevaotr.
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tenses, then leaps forward, activating her whip, and swipes out at the area of the shots
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* John lets Kane go, making faces
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> <John> Watch out, they tore through the tactical suit
[21:52] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Cheryl. Eyes. 6He calls out, checking on John.
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eyes his leg.
06[21:52] * 01@Jennifer eeps and hope out of the way, Cameron groans as he takes a shot in the leg.
01[21:52] <01@Jennifer> *hops
[21:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole frowns. 1Damnit. THey shot me.
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists and flips suddenly, as if avoiding something
[21:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* The capsule would flash.
[21:53] <01Kit> 6Chii lands from leaping upward, still a reflex monger. 1"...Why do I have a bad feeling about this?"
[21:53] <01Dias`> 6Several shots fly out for Chii now from where Cheryl was just at
[21:53] <01Dias`> NRP: From where
01[21:53] <01@Jennifer> "Because we're being shot at?"
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lands, her eyes closed, apparantly relying on her ears - she punches down at the area of the shots
[21:53] <01Kit> 6Chii twists quickly, leaning back slightly, finding a narrow path between them, her ears twitching. 1"F-fuck, what the hell!?"
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* John points forward. "Chii. I choose you. Ice attack."
[21:54] <01Dias`> 6Her fist connects into something and the sound of someone sliding back can be heard
04[21:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane motions for Jennifer to work on healing John and Cameron.
[21:54] <01Kit> <Chii> ...What?" 6She stares at John, then runs forward after Cheryl.
[21:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole shakes his leg and mvoes forward.
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> <John> Invisible people hate ice!
01[21:55] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Mmm..." *He looks at Jennifer while she heals his leg and moves over to John*
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers a bit, opening her eyes
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Behind them, skittering is heard as spider-bots enter through more vents
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers back.
[21:55] <01Kit> <Chii> This reminds me of a game I played..." 6She slides to a halt behind Cheryl, forming seals, then throws her hands forward, summoning a deluge of water thrown forward. 1"Suiton!"
[21:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and glances up. 1Oh crap. Oh craaaap. 6He looks for bots to shoot.
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bots aim at Cole
[21:56] <01Dias`> 6An outline of a soldier can be seen lieing on the ground
01[21:56] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron grumbles and blasts at one of the vents with fire.
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists to stomp said outline
[21:56] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole jumps back, sliding along slightly, firing upward towards the bots.
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* The bots are shot and fall off. One leaps at Cole dramatically in slow motion
[21:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole widens his eyes, stumbling back as it comes in.
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot lands on his shoulder, then sits there
[21:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls out his pistol and moves for the elevator. 1Cloaking technology.
06[21:57] * 01@Jennifer looks up at John as she finishes, then about at the situation.
[21:57] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> .... 6He goes pale.
[21:57] <01Kit> 6Chii shoots it off of Cole, like an apple archer.
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* John moves and slides into the elevator as more spider-bots show up. The green spider dodges Chii easily, then motions for Cole to go
[21:58] <01Kit> <Chii> ..." 6She tries two more times, staring.
[21:58] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> ...6He backs away.
06[21:58] * 01@Jennifer rushes after John.
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot just lazily dodges by using it's eight legs
[21:58] <01Kit> <Chii> I'll try fire next...
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the buttons.
[21:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps into the elevator and aims the pistol at the outline of the soldier, kneeling.
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* John moves in, eyeing the buttons
01[21:58] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "I find it very effective." *he moves into the elevator*
[21:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole backs into the elevator now.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> <John> I'd guess prison cells would be near the lower levels, if we want to try there. Hm. L - Labs, maybe.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot wiggles it's legs at Chii tauntingly.
[21:59] <01Kit> <Chii> We're not on a tour!
[21:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane attepmts to take the suit off of the soldier.
[21:59] <01Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes, sufficiently taunted. She forms seels, then holds her hand out toward Cole. 1"Raiton!"
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* A beeping sound is heard that begins to get louder
01[21:59] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "There's no gift shop?"
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* John looks down at the soldier
[21:59] <01Kit> 6Chii tries electricity. Cole's resistant to that.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> <John> Shit.
[22:00] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> .....WHY THE FUCK DID YOU SHOCK ME!?
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot redirects any electricity hitting it into Cole
[22:00] <01Kit> <Chii> There's a spider on your shoulder!!
[22:00] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> OH. Right.
01[22:00] <01@Jennifer> "What's that beeping noise?"
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> <John> Sounds like a bomb.
[22:00] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tchs and tries to throw the soldier off the elevator.
[22:00] <01Kit> 6Chii gets in, eyeing it and wondering why it's not harming Cole.
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* John hits the L button
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* The soldier explodes right as the doors close, some of the blast hitting inside the elevator adn shaking it.
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> ....yeah don't do that. I can only store so much electricty until it starts to damage me.
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane is knocked back into the wall, sliding down it slowly.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot stabs a leg into Cole's armor and begins to recharge him
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* And use his shield
06[22:01] * 01@Jennifer falls over with a gasp, Cameron bangs into the wall.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* John stumbles into a wall himself. Wincing.
[22:01] <01Kit> 6Chii stares, twitching. 1"...It just stabbed you!"
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses. 1I-He-He's hacking into me!
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Oh wait. I think it healed me.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands behind Cole, using him to her advantage.
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot removes the leg after the elevator begins to shakily descend.
[22:02] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Uh...Hi. 6He says to the spider.
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* It waves a leg.
[22:02] <01Kit> 6Chii makes a face. 1"That's fucking creepy."
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* John sits up.
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> <John> You alive, binary? 6* Cheryl kneels to check on Kane
06[22:03] * 01@Jennifer blinks and stares at it as she sits up. "Make a new friend Cole?"
01[22:03] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks over everyone with a slightly dark look.
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> <John> Probably senses he's a machine like it.
[22:03] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Yeah. I'll be fine. 6He breathes, pushing himself to his feet slowly.
[22:03] <01Kit> <Chii> And it's doing what here?
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl helps him up
[22:03] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Riding my shoulder like a Champ.
[22:03] <01Kit> 6Chii pauses to point at Cameron. 1"Don't give me that look!"
01[22:03] <01@Jennifer> "Apparently loving on Cole. It's... kinda cute, I suppose."
[22:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods his thanks.
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* The elevator doors open after a moment - revealing another hallway with cameras adn a door at the end. A card ID reader is beside the door
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Cameron now
01[22:04] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron sighs and looks normal again. "What?"
[22:04] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. I see an ID reader. I'm not sure if we'll be able to bypass that.
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> <John> Makes you wonder what's in it. I can't really say I know what floor has the cells
01[22:05] <01@Jennifer> "We could just use the same method we've been using so far."
[22:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tilts his head. 1We could try breaking down the door.
01[22:05] <01@Jennifer> "That one."
[22:05] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I could try a workaround for the reader, but if there's a failsafe, I'll most likely get locked out before I cna accomplish much.
01[22:06] <01@Jennifer> "Like the cameras watching over it?"
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns. "I feel Lemon nearby - but not on this floor."
01[22:06] <01@Jennifer> "Huh...? OH good, let's move on then."
[22:06] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Upwards or Down?
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Down.
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they talk, the elevator goes dead.
[22:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances over the buttons, looking ov-6He sighs. 1They cut our power. Seems they want us to go this way.
06[22:06] * 01@Jennifer facepalms.
[22:07] <01Kit> <Chii> ...Want to go, Cheryl?
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I say we don't oblige. 6* She eyes the elevator floor
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* The elevator doors begin to close. John blinks and instictively grabs one
01[22:08] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks down at the floor, pulling out something to draw with.
[22:08] <01Kit> 6Chii holds up a hand, gathering light energym having never left the elevator. 1"C'mon, Cheryl."
[22:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole shifts to grab the other.
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> <John> Ungh....if these close, who knows what floor they'll take us to
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip, then shifts to pound a fist into the floor, not denting it
[22:09] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> We either need to get off here or make a hole in the floor. 6He notes to Cheryl.
06[22:09] * 01@Jennifer blinks and looks up at the doors. "Why did we stop here again?"
[22:09] <01Kit> 6Chii brings her hand down, leaping up to put her whole weight and leverage into it, striking beside Cheryl. 1"Final Heaven!"
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> <John> We needed a floor before we blew up. I hit the one I was looking at last.
01[22:09] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron> "Looks like tough... oh my..."
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii ... hurts her herself more than the floor
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* John and Cole would begin to find it harder to keep the door open
[22:10] <01Kit> 6Chii stares, ensuing an anticlimatic silence.
01[22:10] <01@Jennifer> "So we weren't lead here... maybe we can find another way down in there?"
[22:10] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> G-Guys. They're going to close soon.
[22:10] <01Kit> 6Chii looks to Cheryl, water in her eyes.
06[22:10] * 01@Jennifer looks to Cheryl.
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot hops off and skitters to the ID card reader, hooking into it. The doors to the lab open.
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tchs, then shifts off the elevator past John and Cole
01[22:11] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron and Jen get off the elevator.
[22:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane slides out.
[22:11] <01Kit> 6Chii moves to step out of the elevator, not moving her left arm.
[22:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks to dive out now, eyeing the spider-bot.
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes Chii's hand, examining it. The spider-bot returns to rest on Cole, crawling up him
01[22:11] <01@Jennifer> "I'm starting to like Cole's new pet.
[22:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole smiles. 1Thanks buddy!
[22:12] <01Kit> <Chii> ..I'm fine. I'm ambidextrous, remember?" 6She twitches, but tears running out of her eyes.
[22:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves forward, peering in the lab slowly.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives her a kiss on the cheek
06[22:12] * 01@Jennifer smiles at them and then moves over to Kane. Cameron fixes his gloves and waits for the moment.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* The lab is large, full of equipment and different rooms. No soldiers are present, though in the center hub seems to be a metallic circular room, with the door open on one end.
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* John slaps Chii's ass on his way by, peering into the lab
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> <John> We should becareful. Probably defenses and robots here, if there's no people. Could be where they use the crystals
[22:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves in slowly, glancing around as he moves, eyeing the metallic room in particular.
[22:13] <01Kit> 6Chii jerks and makes a squealish sound, then eyes John in rage.
[22:14] <01Kit> <Chii> I'll still beat your ass one-handed!
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just tugs Chii into the lab. "Shhh."
[22:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole glances around. 1Hey I wonder if there's an arm around here. 6He starts to look.
06[22:14] * 01@Jennifer moves in after Kane, peering about. Cameron steps in, remaining near the door for now.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot eyes Cole, then shifts to attach to his arm stub, adn transforms into a green arm
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* The metallic room's entrance is just enough off to the side that Kane will need to get closer
[22:14] <01Kit> 6Chii follows with Cheryl, eyeing the floor.
[22:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and slowly looks down at his arms. 1...holy shit.
[22:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane does get closer, slowly glancing in.
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* John moves in, peering about with a frown - computer terminals are near by. Hep oints
06[22:15] * 01@Jennifer blinks and peers back at Cole. "How'd you..."
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> <John> That might give us Lemon's location.
[22:16] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Look at us! I think green brings out my eyes. 6He waves his arms around.
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* As Kane peers in, he'd come face to face with himself. The other Kane eyes him, then hits a button to close off the metallic door and the door leading back to the elevator. Alarms go off as spider-bots rush out from vents
[22:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks back, with wide eyes. 1What?!
01[22:16] <01@Jennifer> "...Oh crap..."
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks up, snarling
[22:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and glances around. 1Uh. Your friends are going to try and hurt us.
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bots leap down on top of each other, forming a large spider-bot made of tiny ones
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> <John> So, uh...terminal hacking, who's fat?
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> *Fast
[22:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns and moves over to the terminal quickly.
01[22:17] <01@Jennifer> "Don't look at me, I can't handle solitare on a datapad."
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip. Kane would find the terminal locked with a password system much like he'd use.
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> <John> That actually explains so much
06[22:18] * 01@Jennifer pouts at him.
[22:18] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Lemon was faster. 6He breathes, he eyes the terminal and uses his most common password.
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* John tenses as the giant-bot moves in and fires dozens of lasers at them.
[22:18] <01Kit> 6Chii draws one of her swords, eyeing the monkeylord.
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* It fails. Apparantly "Angela Was a Whore" means nothing.
[22:19] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Hey Spider-Arm guy. I think we should help my friends.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-arm does a thumbs up, then opens up a laser port on the hand for Cole
[22:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane hmms and begins to try and break the encryption the old fashioned way, having an easier time since he should know his own routines.
04[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* The lasers fly in at Jennifer and Chii. PREPARE YOURSELF
[22:19] <01Kit> <Chii> Tch.
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Up, Down, Right, Right, Left, Up, Up, Down, LEft, Right

01[22:20] <01@Jennifer> rldullrddurl
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* The two are shot up - the lasers damage their tactical suits heavily, but only barely damage them
[22:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole goes pew pew, shooting laser blasts for the giant spider thing.
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cole fires blasts at the spider-bot. It distracts it, turning it's focus on Cole, then unleashes blasts at him. PREPARE THYSELF
06[22:21] * 01@Jennifer cries out in surprise as she fails to gracefully dodge the attacks, falling backward.
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Up, Down, Left, Right, Right, Lfet, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down

[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cole dodges the lasers expertly.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl helps Chii up, only to get hit in the shoulder by a blast, wincing.
[22:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole throws out an electric blast out for the bots with his actual arm, charging up the laser if that's possible.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Jen. "Jen--" 6* The spider-bot blasts him as he's distracted, sending him rolling. Kane manages to break the encyyption, getting access to base files.
[22:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane attaches his datapad and quickly begins to download process, simultaneously searching for 'Lemon' or 'Cheryl' or 'Cheryl Clone'.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bots are shocked, momentarily weakened; Cole's blast is charged. The spider-bots aim at Chii and Jen again. PREPARE THYSELVES
06[22:23] * 01@Jennifer blinks and pulls herself up, looking back at John.
[22:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down

04[22:23] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Jennifer is shot twice more, taking actual damage as it blasts through her
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* She manages to fall/dodge the rest, though
[22:24] <01Kit> <Chii> This is weird." 6She eyes her arm.
06[22:24] * 01@Jennifer clutches her side and falls over, crying out in actual pain this time, shuddering.
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane would get information on "Cheryl Robot" - she's on this floor, in a lower level.
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pushes herself up - the spider-bot charges in at Chii to smash her.
[22:24] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole aims and fires the charged laser blast for the spider bot thing.
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe Ixidor would be good now, after all.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* The blast slows the spider-bots down, actually knocking one off.
06[22:25] * 01@Jennifer stumbles for John, checking on him as she holds her side, concern for herself lapsed at the moment. "Sensei?"
[22:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane memorizes the floor number and eyes the download percentage.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* John is already getting up.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* 3%. It's going extra slow, it seems.
[22:25] <01Kit> 6Chii focuses a second then spinkicks, letting off an air-based shockwave, then slashes, her sword still embued with water, making another shockwave, then catches the handle in her teeth and drops low, uppercutting as the bot comes in against her, wreathing flames in her right hand. 1"Shoryuuken!"
06[22:26] * 01@Jennifer pants and closes her eyes, using the holy ring to heal her side, she pulls herself up. "You're okay..."
[22:26] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hm. Alot of information. 6He hmms and and frowns. 1Cheryl. Do we have the time?
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bots activate shields to take the damage - combined they make it impregnable.
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Probably not - more enemies will be coming
[22:26] <01Kit> 6Chii strikes along its surface until her fire build-up drops off, then she bounces off and back, groaning.
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot keeps its shields up and charges at Jen to smash her with it
[22:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tchs in annoyance, then shifts around to take of a back panel on the terminal and attempt to hook up a wireless transceiver to continue to download, syncing it with his datapad.
01[22:27] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron grumbles and finishes drawing a large circle, he puts both hands on it and sends a blast of fire out low and upwards for the spiderbots.
[22:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole runs in from the side and tries to shoulder ram the spider bot.
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Once KAne does this, his information is suddenly downloaded as well
[22:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks and severs the line.
06[22:27] * 01@Jennifer blinks as she hears a big robot incoming and grabs at John, attempting to get out of the way of it's charge.
[22:27] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Fuck me. 6He breathes.
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* John, being heavier, maeks it hard for Jen to mov e- which causes 3 things to happen. CAmeron's fire hits the shields ,spewing outward, knocking at Cole, and John/Jen.
[22:28] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole soulder rams fire and it knocked back.
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* John howls as his clothes catch on fire.
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Then John/Jen are rammed by the shield, the electricity of it shocking htem
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tchs. "Kane, where teh fuck do we go now?"
06[22:29] * 01@Jennifer cries out in pain as she's burned and summons water over the both of them to quench it.
[22:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tchs and seems annoyed, checking his datapad to see what they got. 1Lower floor.
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* The water makes the shock worse. John screams
06[22:29] * 01@Jennifer screams too, cut short when she loses conciousness from all that at once.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bots' shield finally drops.
[22:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and shakes his head. 1Sorry. Lower level of this floor actually. 6He looks around for the door that would lead to it.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* It's on the other side, sealed.
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* John twitches, trying to get up. He eyes his device sparking on his wrist
[22:31] <01Kit> 6Chii rushes forward and stabs her hand, flat-edge style at the spider from the side. 1"Lightning edge!"
[22:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane points. 1 There. Sealed door.
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rushes at it.
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii stabs one of the spider-bots with her hand
[22:32] <01Kit> 6Chii electrifies her arm, focused mainly at the hand, trying to cut into it/shock it.
01[22:32] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron just grunts in annoyance and attempts to freeze a section of the spiderbots with the clap of his hands.
[22:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole charges up the laser again, eyeing the door.
04[22:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves over and kneels to lift up Jennifer over his shoulder. 1Can you walk?
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot explodes, and Cameron's abilities - fail, having reached his limit today
[22:32] <01@Xanatos> NRP: to John.
[22:33] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Cheryl. Mind if I?
[22:33] <01Kit> 6Chii cries out slightly, backing off and trying to shield herself a bit with her good arm, backing away with some scorches and cuts along it, her face and side.
01[22:33] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron grumbles more shakes his head.
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Cole, then steps aside
06[22:33] * 01@Jennifer is out for the count at the moment, soaked, fried, and shocked all at the same time.
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* John gets to his feet. "Yeah."
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* John winces in pain, clearly hurting.
[22:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole aims and fires for the door.
[22:34] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to give him some help, moving them both towards Cheryl.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* The blast hits the door, and causes a laser sized hole to appear. Barely big enough to stuff Jen or Chii in
[22:34] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I-well that didn't work how I wanted.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* The remaining spider-bots shift to face Chi
[22:34] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole moves forward, eyeing the hole.
[22:34] <01Kit> <Chii> Geh.." 6She backs away somewhat, eyeing them.
01[22:34] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "I'm out of juice for a while, unless someone has a supply of blood on hand."
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* They begin to charge lasers, sensing her weakness
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the hole, then Chii, grinding her teeth. She tries to decide what to focus on
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Teh spider-bots walk toward Chii, steping in the water left on the floor by Jen
[22:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole attempts to grab the hole and start wrenching it to tear and widen.
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes the hole in the door, then his fist. "Too weak to knock it down now."
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* The green arm helps him, and together they make a hole big enough for everyone but Cole at this point. Since Cole is a fatty
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* They aim at CHii, and begin to fire lasers. PREPARE THYSELF.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Right, Right, Up, Down, Left, RIght, Up, Down, Right, Left, Up, Down

04[22:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to slide Jennifer through before moving through himself, reaching out to help John.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii manages to dodge the lasers barely, but makes it look cooler. The spider-bot begins to step off the water sloooowly
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* John nods and moves through, then lifts Jen up
01[22:38] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron heads over and moves through.
[22:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole throws out lightningt attack for the water.
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bots jerk as they're hit by the lightning
[22:39] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> WE gotta do everything around here. 6He notes and eyes the hole, then himself. 1We can totally make it.
[22:39] <01Kit> 6Chii sprints forward, having focused long enough to imbue her movements with wind again, then rears back and actually emanates flames before entering a series of punches and kicks, much like the lion combo, but just beating the hell out of it, trying to knock it back and down into the water since she doesn't plan on doing direct damage through physical means.
[22:39] <01Kit> 6Chii then leaps backwards and holds up a hand, huffing. 1"Indignation!" 6Then drops her hands, the reason for the hesitation, being the stronger lightning strike.
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* A spider-bot, a single one, drops down for Kane, a blade ready
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bots, zapped by Cole, just take the hits, only to be hit some omre. They begin to blow up.
[22:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane attempts to bring his hand up to catch it, but it would probably stab his hand.
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slides through the hole. "Come n, Chii, we're going!" 6* The doors to the elevator open and soldiers begin to run in
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane would begin to feel numbness in his hand. The spider-bot focuses on him, then speaks. "So there was a "me" on the team."
[22:41] <01Kit> 6Chii finishes the larger lightning strike, then jerks, eyeing Cheryl. 1"Y-Yeah.." 6She wheezes, retreating slowly.
[22:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane sneers. 1Indeed. 6He attempts to shake the spider off.
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches through the hole and yanks Chii in, holding her to herself
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot falls over. Soldiers aim at Kane and the hole, firing
01[22:41] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Bloody realities, you're shocked?"
[22:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls up his forearm to take the hit, knowing if he dodges it'll hit cheryl.
[22:42] <01Kit> <Chii> Man, this is a little... tiring..
[22:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole whistles and tries to climb through the hole now.
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* The tactical suit is damaged. Cole gets stuck half-way through, his ass being shot
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets keep going while Cole keeps them busy. 6* She moves down the hallway.
[22:42] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> OW! 6He yelps..
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* John nods to Cole. "Your sacrifice won't be i nvain." 6* He carries Jen
01[22:43] <01@Jennifer> Cameron> "Valiant of him, really." *he moves on, Jennifer still out of it*
[22:43] <01Kit> <Chii> Yeah... n-need to find Lem...
[22:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane raises his pistol and fires for the kane special spider-bot.
[22:43] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> ....
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* IT blows up
[22:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes his arm with a frown and cradles it towards his waist as he moves forwar.d
[22:44] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> See how they treat me!? Jerks all of them.
[22:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* They move down the hallway, which lowers at an angle, until they reach a door. Cheryl sets Chii down, then tries the door.
[22:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cole's ass is shot more in response.
[22:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole tries to push himself back out so he can fight the stupid spider bots.
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cole is pushed back, greeted by 12 soldiers, who all fire at him
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* With blasts that weaken his circuits
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strains against the door ,trying to rip it open. "God. Damn. Et."
[22:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole yelps and tries to teleport onward into the hallway.
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* It succeeds
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Sadly, his power restored by the spider-bot is now drained
[22:46] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole huffs and fires his minigun backward towards the hole as he backs up down the hall.
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* The soldiers scream
[22:46] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane etes the door and peers around for a panel.
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* There's a hand panel.
[22:46] <01Kit> <Chii> Want me to hit it, Cheryl?
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... With what?
06[22:47] * 01@Jennifer opens her eyes a little, rousing. "Owww..."
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane reaches out and places his hand on the panel.
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* The doors open.
04[22:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Jennifer. "Welcome back."
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Inside is a hallway, full of cells. Cheryl steps forward, moving to the back one immediately
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> This is my lab. 6He breathes, then moves forward.
06[22:48] * 01@Jennifer smiles weakly. "Are you okay? I kinda screwed up there..."
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> <John> Yeah. I'll live.
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole stops by the doors and just leans against the wall to rest.
[22:48] <01Kit> 6Chii strains to get up and trots after Cheryl, groaning
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane's device begins to make weird noises, as his hand gets more numb.
[22:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls up his datapad and scans his numb arm to see what's going on.
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* In the last cell is Lemon, wearing a simple white outfit - she looks healthy enough, laying on the bed, eyes closed
01[22:49] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron eyes Cheryl, looking over at the cell then following her.
01[22:49] <01@Jennifer> "I think I can walk..."
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Apparantly he has nanites in his hand, which are not only attacking his hand, but his device, erasing the data on it used to jump realities
[22:49] <01Kit> <Chii> Lem!? Lemon!
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Well, coordinate the jumping
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon opens her eyes, sitting up to look at Chii, then gasps. "Mistress!"
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* John nods, setting her down
01[22:49] <01@Jennifer> "Lemon...?"
06[22:49] * 01@Jennifer smiles at him then moves over quickly, a bit wobbly.
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks stunned, then begins to tear up. "Everyone..."
01[22:50] <01@Jennifer> "Oh god... are you okay Lemon? Did they hurt you?"
[22:50] <01Kit> <Chii> Okami arigatou. You're alright..
[22:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane widens his eys and holds up his hand. 1I need an emp pulse now.
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Kane. "What?"
[22:50] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Nanites, erasing the data in the device.
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* AS she speaks, suddenly Cheryl jerks as if her throat is constricted. Visiblely Phaeton is seen, his arm around her. He stabs an electric knife into her wrist device, then hits a button, causing them both to teleport.
[22:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks. 1CHERYL>
[22:51] <01Kit> <Chii> Er-- CHERRY?!?
06[22:51] * 01@Jennifer blinks and looks around, she gasps and stares. "CH-CHERYL!?"
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon's eyes widen. "Cheryl!"
[22:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane grabs a needle from coat and jabs it into his hand, hoping the nanites will counteract each other.
01[22:52] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron just looks quietly at the space Cheryl occupied, a frown growing.
[22:52] <01@DeathStar> <Warren's Voice on Intercomm> Now that we have the real Cheryl, your time has come to an end. In mere moments, the cell will be flooded with enemy soldiers.
[22:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon rises up and touches the cell doors. "Nooooo!"
[22:52] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Get Lemon out. Get ready to jump. NOW.
[22:52] <01Kit> <Chii> Cherry... Cherry..." 6She closes her eyes, trying to feel her out. 1"...My Cherry."
06[22:53] * 01@Jennifer looks up, gritting her teeth. "DAMNIT!"
[22:53] <01Kit> <Chii> I didn't come here to make a trade...
[22:53] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole backs into the cell area, aiming towards the door. 1Uh guys.
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Chii, then looks heartbroken for her, crestfallen. Chii can sense they moved Cheryl out of the reality as fast as possible
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cole can hear soldiers approaching
[22:53] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Guy.
[22:53] <01Kit> <Chii> God. FUCKING. DAMN IT!
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I'm sorry, this is my fault - they used me as bait to get you all here.
[22:53] <01@Xanatos> NRP: Guys*
06[22:54] * 01@Jennifer looks down, she shudders a bit. "H-He's right... Lemon... can you start a jump...?" *her voice is strained*
[22:54] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Silence Lemon. We knew what we were doing. 6He eyes the scanner over his hand now.
[22:54] <01Kit> 6Chii moves to the end of the hall where she hears them coming, clenching her good hand a moment, then starts to move the one that was immobilized.
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* The nanities seem to be healing his hand - the damage to his device is still there for now, but it's capable of jumping
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Not in this cell.
[22:54] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Chii. You either listen to me or you remain behind and die. 6He glances around for a panel to open the cell.
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* There's one by the doors
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* John moves forward to grab at Chii. "We'll find her, I promise. There's only so many bases they own."
[22:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves to it and works to get Lemon's door open.
[22:55] <01Kit> <Chii> I think I knew that before you said it, you bastard. Cheryl's not here anyway. You just need time.
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* The soldiers toss a grenade down the hallway, which stops near Chii and John
[22:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole aims down the hall. 1We'll make time. You have fancy guns right? Let's kick some ass.
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* The doors open when Kane touches it
[22:55] <01Kit> 6Chii clenches her hands some more, then nods, dashing forward and soccer-kicking it back down the hall.
06[22:56] * 01@Jennifer slowly looks up. Cameron reaches for his book.
[22:56] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves over and takes Lemon's hand, chekcing his device to make sure that he still has the right reality set to jump. 1Everyone get ready.
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* As she kicks it, it only makes it 5 meters before exploding. John slides Chii back out of range
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Kane's device lost it.
[22:56] <01Kit> <Chii> John..?
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> <John> Just doing some team work.
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* The soldiers come rushing down the hallway now, guns blazing
06[22:56] * 01@Jennifer moves over to Lemon and Kane. "We ready...?"
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks depressed still, then grimaces like Cheryl, getting serious. "Yes. I can perform a jump now."
04[22:57] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ... 6He makes Jennifer grab Lemon, then take her shoulder. 1Everyone jump on the count of three.
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole opens fires, sliding back.
06[22:57] * 01@Jennifer holds onto Lemon. Cameron hops out of the gunfire.
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> 1
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> NRP: Kane. :S
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* John ducks back as the shots come in
[22:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane grits his teeth. 1 2
[22:58] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> 3
[22:58] <01Kit> <Chii> Right." 6She clenches both hands, emanating dark energy in a manner of flames. 1"Can we get some more..? Shadow Dragon Install." 6She moves quickly along the side, drawing guns to fire back, her expression blank like she's doing this in slow motion, sheathing one to rush forward and clobber one with her hand, the other hosltering her gun and reaching over-- hitting her device.
[22:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole reaches up to tap his device.
06[22:58] * 01@Jennifer jumps, as does Cameron.
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* John holds Chii as she jumps
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* They all appear in what seems to be a field of ice
[22:59] <01Kit> 6Chii kneels, peering at John. 1"You're really something. You can even keep up with Dragon Install." 6She gasps as the effect ends, dropping to both knees, wheezing now.
[22:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances around slowly, jaw tense.
01[22:59] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron looks unbothered, but Jennifer hugs a bit closer to Lemon to keep warm.
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* John holds onto Chii, looking exhausted. "No choice, my device was fried."
01[23:00] <01@Jennifer> "Should we jump again to be sure...?"
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* There's a cave nearby, and someone waving at them
06[23:00] * 01@Jennifer blinks and looks over at the cave.
[23:00] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I see Scott. 6He motions, moving towards the cave.
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon shivers, then moves over to grab Chii and lift her up.
01[23:00] <01@Jennifer> "How... oh right... we gave him the coordinates."
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* John stumbles to his feet, then moves for the cave - inside, Scott has set up a huge fire.
[23:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole shakes his head slightly. 1Well that sucked buddy. That was not the plan at all. 6He notes to his arm, moving forward.
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot detaches and sits on his shoulder
[23:01] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You know. I thought spiders were scary, but you're pretty sweet. 6He notes as he moves.
06[23:02] * 01@Jennifer moves for the cave, keeping close to Lemon, she looks guilty as she shifts her clothes to something warmer. Cameron moves across to the cave looking annoyed but not showing any bother to the cold.
[23:02] <01Kit> 6Chii pants and huffs for her breath, like having an asthma attack. Most of the minor cuts and bruises she's received from the spidebots have healed by this point, though after the install technique her left arm goes back to being limp, her right is several colours as if fractured from having been point blank at an explosion, the larger cuts re-open and scars from previous wounds.
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* The cave is considerablely warmer, with tunnels in the back that branch out. Scott has some food set up
[23:03] <01Kit> <Chii> Ah... Lem..
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon carries Chii as if she were a doll, then lays Chii down near the fire. She begins to rip pieces of her clothes off and begins to wrap up wounds
06[23:03] * 01@Jennifer eyes over Chii. "Hey... Chii, is using Holy to heal you alright?"
[23:03] <01Kit> <Chii> ...I really would rather you don't find out.
01[23:03] <01@Jennifer> "Lemon... I've got medical supplies..."
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Then use them.
06[23:03] * 01@Jennifer starts to pull out the more standard healing affair to treat Chii's wounds.
06[23:04] * 01@Jennifer smiles weakly. "Sorry..."
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> I've been waiting here a few days for you guys.
[23:04] <01Kit> <Chii> ...I'll go back to healing after a while, but after doing that, everything slows to a drag. It sucks... haa... I feel shit from that laser escapade..
[23:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods his thanks to Scott. 1Sorry. We got held up.
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* John sits down, tired looking
[23:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole plops down and starts eating.
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> We will fix you up. 6* She promises Chii, still using tatters of her clothing to do so
01[23:05] <01@Jennifer> "Well right now you can heal up like we mortals have to sometimes..." *she continues that damaged smile as she works on Chii carefully, more tenderly then usual*
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Did everything work out? 6* He eyes Lemon
[23:05] <01Kit> <Chii> Oh. Right. I'm immortal. Haa haa haa.
06[23:05] * 01@Jennifer stops, a blank look on her face as Scott asks.
01[23:06] <01@Jennifer> * Cameron eyes Scott. "We lost Cheryl."
[23:06] <01Kit> 6Chii pauses, eyeing Scott, then peers at the ceiling. She's fine a moment, then practically busts out into tears like a little kid when Cameron vocalizes.
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks annoyed at Jen a moment at the mortal comment. She then hugs Chii as she cries
[23:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane grinds his teeth as he steps off to the side.
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott looks shocked.
06[23:06] * 01@Jennifer moves to help comfort her. "Chii..."
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I'll find Mistress Cheryl. I promise
[23:07] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> We all will. John's right. They've only got so many bases.
06[23:07] * 01@Jennifer closes her eyes and nods. "Make it double..."
[23:07] <01@DeathStar> <John> Why do they want Cheryl so bad
01[23:07] <01@Jennifer> "I don't know... I don't care... I'm going to get her and Ben back."
[23:07] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> I'm sorry...if there is anything I can do to help...
[23:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* John leans back, closing his eyes.
[23:08] <01Kit> <Chii> ...*sniff* ... I don't know... what makes her so special throughout the universes? Besides me loving her and taking my virginity.
[23:08] <01Kit> <Chii> I guess she's the only fertile dragoon.
[23:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* John opens one eye. "You were a virgin before her? Seriously?"
[23:08] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes her hands, then narrows them at John.
06[23:09] * 01@Jennifer rubs her head, she looks over Lemon after the last of Chii's wounds are fixed. "Are you sure you're okay Lemon?"
[23:09] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I'm functional.
[23:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon just strokes Chii's ears, looking down at her with a look
[23:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* John holds up his hands. "Just surprising."
[23:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps back over to eye everyone. 1Rest up. We'll be searching for Cheryl starting tomorrow. So get a good nights rest and don't fuck around.
[23:09] <01Kit> <Chii> Fuck you!
[23:09] <01Kit> <Chii> Er. Not you, Kane.
06[23:10] * 01@Jennifer blinks a bit and nods. She looks down at Chii as well, a mix of pity and worry.
[23:10] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... should I mention this reality seems to have a crystal as strong as the one we found in Mr. Cole's reality?
[23:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* John glances at Lemon now.
06[23:10] * 01@Jennifer blinks, going pale. "A legendary one...?"
[23:10] <01Kit> <Chii> Haa haa haa.
[23:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers at Chii and then nods once. He then sits down and pulls out his datapad. He glances up slightly to Lemon and then rubs the bridge of his nose. 1Hmm. I guess we'll need to take a vote on if we go or stay then.
[23:11] <01@DeathStar> <John> Can we even go? Your device seems to be as off as mine
[23:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* John waves his hand
01[23:11] <01@Jennifer> "They could be here any time if that's true, and we're in shambles."
[23:11] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> If Lemon can sync us, we can tag along for now until I can get them repaired.
[23:11] <01Kit> <Chii> You should repair them now. If Lemon says there's a legendary here... I'll hunt for it.
[23:12] <01@DeathStar> <John> Right. Do we have any spare parts? Lemon had them before, but she gave them to X, right?
[23:12] <01@DeathStar> <John> And X is gone
[23:12] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ...yes, that's right.
06[23:12] * 01@Jennifer rubs her head and sits back, she looks out at the cave entrance, looking overwhelmed.
[23:12] <01@DeathStar> <John> Seems we have a lot of priorities, then. Legendary. Finding X. Cheryl.
[23:12] <01Kit> <Chii> Unless Lemon emptied it out, she should have some spare stuff from Cheryl and myself. We ..have equipment to maintain, after all. Though I'm not sure if it's stuff you could use.
[23:12] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Chii. You will remain with the group. No expections, we're not losing another.
[23:13] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I have nothing. I didn't want them to find them.
01[23:13] <01@Jennifer> "We can do it right... we have to do it..."
[23:13] <01Kit> <Chii> I didn't say I'd look alone.
[23:13] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Lemon gave her stuff to Raquel and then Raquel took off.
[23:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods. 1Very well. Let's all rest for now.
[23:13] <01Kit> 6Chii sighs. 1"But I need to confirm there's no esper before I go anywhere."
[23:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* John squints at Lemon. Ironic, since Lemon has the cards, since she is the only syncher left, and Crystal detector.
06[23:13] * 01@Jennifer looks at Chii. "We can look after you rest."
[23:13] <01Kit> <Chii> So if you can use the time to repair the malfunctioning units, some of us can check out the danger-level on the crystal while I do that.
[23:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers at Kane, wondering if he realizes that, to
[23:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane sneers slightly and then steps off to the side again.
01[23:14] <01@Jennifer> "Chii, rest first, okay?"
04[23:14] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes Jennifer. 1"Yeah. I'm gonna go duke an esper without either of my arms intact.
[23:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott is silent, watching them all, peering at Kane oddly
06[23:15] * 01@Jennifer flinches a bit, her look of concern shifting to one that's hurt.
01[23:15] <01@Jennifer> "O-Okay..."
[23:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon speaks finally. "We should all rest until morning." 6* She states in a finality
[23:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon lifts Chii up to move her into the back of the cave, and away from others
[23:15] <01Kit> <Chii> Unlike you I'm immortal. You're cursed. Get some fucking sle--aieee.
[23:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* John watches Lemon carry Chii off to dump her off in the back of the cave, then Jen
[23:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole snores now, a plate of food resting on his chest.
06[23:16] * 01@Jennifer watches Lemon move off with Chii. "I will..."
03[23:16] * Jackieness (Psy@h120.166.18.98.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has left #taw
06[23:16] * 01@Jennifer moves closer to the fire, looking back the way Lemon went and curls up a bit.
[23:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot protects Cole
[23:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* John lets out a breath. "Well..." 6* He just closes his eyes
