[20:01] <01@DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.8.7 - several days later -
[20:01] <01@DeathStar> Location: Progenitor Ship, Various Locations. Once Again Moving Through Space
[20:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* It is around mid-day
[20:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek stands in the cosplay zone, adjusting his armor, staring at himself in a mirror.
[20:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore observes from behind
[20:03] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Do I look manly, love?
[20:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus eats his lunch, sitting on the stool behind the counter.
[20:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore studies him seriously at that, as if weighing pros and cons. "Hai."
[20:03] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Brilliant. Now it's your turn, eh?
06[20:03] * 01@Sammael sits in the living room of the Xanatos House, upside down on the couch tapping away on a datapad as her stomach grumbles, demanding tribute, she blinks and looks down, or rather, up, at it.
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Ah. Aha. Later. Have more work to do. 6* She notes simply
06[20:04] * 01Chad`Winters peers inside a control panel for the door, having been studying them for the last few days.
[20:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek scoffs and peers at her. 1You have time, love.
[20:05] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Outfit not ready.
01[20:05] <01@Sammael> * Angela sits nearby Chad, carrying out the usual readouts, she looks partially zoned out, music pumping into her ear as usual.
[20:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek sighs and peers over at her. 1Fair enough. Y'need help?
[20:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya sits in her science officer chair, looking at various readings that come through
[20:06] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Iie. 6* She moves to sit down and work on backgrounds
04[20:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps into his zone, moving towards his fridge, he pauses and peers over at Sammael.
[20:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek just sighs and stands there. He pauses after a minute and starts to remove the armor.
06[20:07] * 01Chad`Winters eyes his datapad as he takes reading off all the various wires.
01[20:07] <01@Sammael> * Sammael peers down at him, from her upside down position, she casually pulls her shirt down her belly and waves at him with her datapad. "Hello Xanatos Durran."
[20:07] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Sam. I'm making some lunch, do you want something?
[20:08] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC sits up in the Security Room, filling out paper work as she eyes the cameras
01[20:08] <01@Sammael> Sammael> "I would enjoy lunch, thank you Xanatos Durran."
[20:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods and moves into the kitchen.
[20:09] <01Chad`Winters> Chip. 6He shifts onto a new wire, eyeing his datapad.
[20:09] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Yes?
06[20:09] * 01@Sammael slumps onto her side on the couch, taking a moment as the blood rushes to her head, she sets the datapad aside and stretches.
[20:10] <01Chad`Winters> I need you to shut power off to this door as if the ship lost power again.
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> If you insist. ... And done.
01[20:10] <01@Sammael> * Angela just keeps on going as though on autopilot, not appearing to have noticed Chad speaking.
06[20:10] * 01Chad`Winters eyes his readings, and quickly moves from wire to wire, recording each output.
[20:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos whistles as he starts gathering things out of the fridge.
[20:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron steps into the security office and moves over for a console, scanning a badge. He then moves over to his seat by SpoC. 1Good day Natalie.
[20:11] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC looks up at Theron's voice and smiles at him. 1"Hello Theron."
[20:12] <01@Xanatos> <Theron> Exciting day thus far?
06[20:12] * 01@Sammael sits up and grabs her datapad, she puts it away before getting up and heading to the kitchen. "How is your day so far?"
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* The ship suddenly lurches
02[20:12] * Kit (notany@cpe-72-177-72-110.austin.res.rr.com) Quit (Quit: Client Exited)
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya hits her console, making a face as she rubs her forehead
[20:12] <01Chad`Winters> Chip, I've been thinking. Is it possible to set up a sub-routine for the doors to hold enough charge in them for a short period for a one time door open..6He pauses as he looks around.
[20:13] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> No Ba-6He pauses and frowns, moving to the table to lift up his comm. 1Aya. What's going on up there
[20:13] <01@Xanatos> ?
[20:13] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC peers around. 1"I would believe things are now."
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya lifts her had up, peering about, then out the viewport. She eyes her sensors. "One moment." 6* She says into her comm
[20:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron peers up, then glances around on the monitors to see if everything is under control.
[20:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus peers at his spilt water. 1Oh damnit.
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP to Xanatos> We are in a series of black holes' gravity wells, it seems. FAscinating
06[20:14] * 01@Sammael recovers from nearly falling over, looking about in a panicky way.
06[20:14] * 01Chad`Winters quickly puts the door panel back in it's place and he taps his comm. 1"Durran, what happened?"
01[20:15] <01@Sammael> * Angela looks up, interrupted from her daydreaming, she looks around, turning down the HMD.
[20:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos arches a brow. 1What? I'm coming to the bridge, try to keep out of them. 6He moves for the teleporter. 1Come to the bridge. 6He tells Chad.
[20:15] <01Chad`Winters> You're shifts over. 6He moves to the teleporter pad and hits the bridge
01[20:15] <01@Sammael> "Should I wait here Xanatos Durran?"
[20:15] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yeah there's stuff there to make a sandwich. 6He steps on the teleporter mad and hits the bridge.
03[20:16] * Kit (notany@cpe-72-177-72-110.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #taw
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* The ship is drifting toward one large black hole
01[20:16] <01@Sammael> * Angela sighs and gets up, using the teleporter to return to her living quarters.
06[20:16] * 01Chad`Winters steps off the pad and peers around, then at Aya. 1"Whats going on?"
06[20:16] * 01@Sammael starts to work on a sandwich as indicated.
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves up the stairs from 1B, frowning.
[20:16] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Where's megumi?
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> We were in hyperspace, we didn't need a pilot.
[20:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves over to the pilot's seat and sits down, grabbing the controls, he tries to get some response.
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* None.
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I was told by CHIP that I was needed on the bridge due to the shaking.
[20:17] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Goddamnit, we're headed right for that black hole.
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya motions at the viewport, as if that would answer Chad.
06[20:18] * 01Chad`Winters eyes Xanatos then the view port. 1"It pulled us out of Hyperspace?"
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis is dressed in nothing but her bra and underwear, having been training judging by her sweat
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Yes. I can't explain how.
[20:18] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek peers up, then glances at Fiore. 1Always hectic round this place.
[20:18] <01Chad`Winters> Anything odd on the readings? 6He moves over to her station, eyeing the terminal
[20:18] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> CHIP. Why don't I have control?
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> It could be the sheer number of them. This entire area is filled with black holes. The gravity wells might even tear us apart if we get postioned wrong
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Are you generating any Progenitor DNA or energy?
[20:19] <01Kit> 6Megumi steps off the telepad, lurching, her hand over her mouth. She doesn't look happy, lumbering toward the center of the bridge. 1"...The hell is going on..?"
06[20:19] * 01Chad`Winters peers up. 1"Shouldn't the long range sensors have picked them up?
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Not in hyperspace
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore looks annoyed as she fixes the sets
[20:19] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> ... 6He makes a face and then starts applying some energy to his hands, taking the controls, trying to move away from the black hole they're headed for.
[20:20] <01Chad`Winters> Can we back up at all?
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps up to the seat, peering out. The ship just comes to an uneasy stop as XAnatos tries
[20:20] <01Kit> 6Megumi rubs her lips with the back of her hand, then stares with a twitch. 1"...Why are we veering toward a gravitational sink?
[20:21] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> ... 6He makes a face, gritting his teeth.
01[20:21] <01@Sammael> * Angela takes a seat on her bed and then lays back, putting her hands over her face.
[20:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Angela's core is sitting on her night stand.
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps on the bridge now.
[20:21] <01Chad`Winters> Aya, can you bring up a display off all the blackholes around us?
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I'm trying.
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Sensors aren't working properly here.
[20:22] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I don't think we'll be moving from this spot at least. I don't know how long that ship can hold up.
[20:22] <01Kit> 6Megumi just stands off to the side.
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> We could apply more power to the engines, but if we fly off too fast we might enter another gravitional well
[20:23] <01Chad`Winters> We'd be better if we could skirt along each gravity fields edge until we can find our way out.
06[20:23] * 01@Sammael completes her sandwich, poking it carefully, she stares at it in wonder. "I-I did it... I must note this in my record."
[20:23] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> We'll need Aya to bring up some sort of map, I don't trust my eyesight for this.
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya brings up a limited display - their ship is near one black hole, with another two around them - one to hte left, and one behind
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Should I fly the ship? 6* She asks Xanatos. "How long will your energy last?"
[20:24] <01Chad`Winters> We're going to have to take it slow.
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Whoa, this is like a video game. Are you good at games, Xan?
[20:25] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> No. Megumi do you want to fly?
[20:25] <01Kit> <Megumi> Oh, I am here now?
06[20:25] * 01Chad`Winters studies the display, his eyes darting around at it. He runs his hand along a course. 1"Think this would work, Aya?"
[20:25] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Do you want to help or act like that?
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> We don't know what's beyond that, or if the map is even showing everything
[20:26] <01Kit> <Megumi> Usually I wish to help when I ask for information, but since I got nothing, I figured you could handle it.
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Kitten. 6* She says in a tone to drop it
[20:26] <01Chad`Winters> It should reveal more as we move along, shouldn't it?
[20:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods and motions to Erevis. 1Come here Erevis.
06[20:26] * 01Chad`Winters glances at Erevis. 1"You should get Eve up here, she might be able to give us more insight."
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis is already beside Xanatos, just in case he needed her
[20:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos takes off one hand and then motions for her to take the control.
06[20:27] * 01@Sammael begins to eat her sandwich, smiling proudly.
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I can't say. I don't know if this map is showing all the black holes
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Around us
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis places her hand down
01[20:27] <01@Sammael> * Angela looks over the returned core and sets it back on the table she uses for work, pulling out some tools she busies herself with it.
06[20:27] * 01Chad`Winters looks at Aya. 1"What if we sent out a probe of sorts? We should be able to get an idea from how it tears apart
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> It would take time, and we're running power just maintaining position
[20:28] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> If you think Eve could help, bring her up here Chad. 6Xanatos moves his other hand now for her to take it.
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Not to mention power to make a probe.
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis does so
[20:28] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos then puts his hands over hers. 1Maybe we'll be better if we work together.
[20:28] <01Chad`Winters> It'd have to be a certain size for us to get a good reading. 6He clicks his tongue then taps his comm. 1"Eve, we could use your help up on the bridge."
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> That could be true - my power is fluxing.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve on comm. "Alright, give me just a moment to lock things down here."
06[20:29] * 01Chad`Winters lowers his hand and looks at Xan. 1"I think we're going to need all Progenitors up here just in case."
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods and then glances to the screen and adjusts the speed to slowly increase as he pulls away from their current black hole.
[20:30] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> My hands are tied right now Chad. 6He notes, as if he should do it himself.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Technically they are resting on mine, not tied to mine
06[20:30] * 01Chad`Winters grunts and taps his comm. 1"Ao, Drasek. We need you're help up on the bridge."
06[20:31] * 01@Sammael rocks in her seat, devouring her sandwich, she finishes and begins to put things away, she stops and looks about, then begins to make another sandwich for Xanatos.
[20:31] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> True. Bue you have to be like that with Chad.
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore peers at Drasek
[20:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek sighs and moves for the teleporter. 1Be back soon, love. 6He steps on the teleporter and hits the bridge.
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Be safe. 6* She calls
02[20:33] * Kit (notany@cpe-72-177-72-110.austin.res.rr.com) Quit (Quit: Client Exited)
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* The ship slowly moves to the right, jerking a bit
[20:33] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Course, love. 6He smiles and dissappears, then eyes everyone once he's on the bridge.
03[20:34] * Kit (notany@cpe-72-177-72-110.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #taw
[20:34] <01Chad`Winters> Drasek, we might need you to power the controls encase Xanatos and Erevis get exhausted. 6He looks back at the map. 1"If we can find a way to boost the sensors to give us a better view.
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> I feel tingly.
06[20:34] * 01Chad`Winters peers up at Chip. 1"Define tingly
01[20:34] <01@Sammael> * Angela sighs a bit and pulls a tool back, "This'll be fun... wonder what the heck is going on up there."
[20:35] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Aye aye, mate. 6He steps off to the side.
[20:35] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers up slightly, waiting for Chip's answer.
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> The black hole pulling on me as we fly away. Tee-hee.
06[20:35] * 01Chad`Winters groans.
[20:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos bites his lips slightly. 1Aya, try to make sure that the display is update with the best of your ability.
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* As the ship pulls to the right away from the black hole, another three can be seen visiblely ahead, all spaced out almost like a triangle
[20:36] <01Chad`Winters> Atleast we can use Chip to tell us if we're going in the right direction. 6He studies the map again.
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya eyes the map, the three blackholes just now appearing on it
[20:36] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Hmph. Great.
06[20:37] * 01Chad`Winters peers at it now, his hand rubbing his face. 1"I'm worried that if we try to thread the needle on this, it'll tear us apart.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao walks up the stairs. "What?"
[20:37] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> It's a shame we can't just do a light jump. 6He notes.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Thread the needle?
[20:37] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Need our energy, luv.
[20:37] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Go through the middle of those black holes.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> We could - and if we miscalculated, we all die.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> What do you think happened here that caused all this?
[20:38] <01Chad`Winters> It's hard to say. But to have this many black holes in one area...
[20:38] <01Chad`Winters> It could be very old space.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> So do we thread the needle, or try another direction?
[20:39] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm not sure. 6He admits, peering at the display, seeing if there is a safer path.
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> To our right is a blackhole, but I can't say about up, down, or diagonal.
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya sighs, frustrated as she tries to boost scanners
[20:39] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Think my energy would help at all, luv?
[20:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers at the triangle and tries to estimate just how precise they would need to be.
[20:40] <01Chad`Winters> We could consider this a graveyard of suns. 6He rubs Aya's back to try and help her relax
[20:40] <01Kit> <Megumi> Are you relying on the scanners, or looking at the pure spatial distance values?
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya considers, thinking. "It wouldn't hurt."
[20:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek reaches out to place his hand on her console, giving energy.
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I'm inputing my own codes into the scanners, Neko-sensei. To make up for the interference.
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Heh heh. Neko-sensei.
06[20:41] * 01Chad`Winters smirks at that
06[20:41] * 01@Sammael puts Xanatos' sandwich away for now and looks about curiously, deciding what to do.
[20:41] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> CHIP how exact would we need to be to go through the triangle cluster?
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Based off Aya's codes... 6* He draws a circle just barely big enough to fit the ship in on the map
[20:42] <01Kit> <Megumi> I am just wondering if it even knows how to interpret the data it is receiving. Given that most of these sensors have subroutines and filters they run in order to better discern just what it is that it is scanning. You might detect them better on your own by being able to recognize overlapping gravitic distortions.
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> You'd have to be precise like Chad Winters when entering a girl. I got that one from Marcus
[20:42] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm not going to make the call. So what do you all think?
06[20:42] * 01Chad`Winters slowly peers up at Chip.
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers up slowly at CHIP's ceiling, then at Chad.
[20:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek snorts a laugh.
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao looks confused. "I don't get it."
[20:43] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> So you're saying we should let Chad do this?
06[20:43] * 01Chad`Winters eyes the display.
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> We could hold position, and give Aya time to scan more. Unless you are confident in your flight skills, which I am.
[20:44] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> That makes one of us. 6He notes.
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya gets out her datapad, doing something with it
06[20:44] * 01Chad`Winters unhooks his datapad and starts tapping away at it, working alongside his daughter.
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Though the scanners are't showing it, I'm pretty sure there's a black hole above us, too
[20:45] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> There's most likely one below us too, isn't there?
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> It is beginning to look like you are going to have sow.
[20:46] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I flunked that class in high school. 6He says with a sigh.
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Yes. Their placement is almost too precise to be an act of nature
[20:46] <01Chad`Winters> It's possible. From the few we've seen so far, they're all in a state of equilibrium.
01[20:46] <01@Sammael> * Angela looks up at the ceiling and rubs her face a bit.
06[20:46] * 01Chad`Winters glances at Aya. 1"You're thinking they're mmade then?"
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Considering the number of them being so close, if we are to assume there was this many suns this close to each other...
[20:46] <01Kit> <Megumi> What is capable of a trap such as this, nowadays?
[20:46] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Why the bloody hell would you make somethin like this?
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> And the fact they are spaced enough that we can find a path
[20:47] <01Chad`Winters> To keep something from getting in or out unless you know what you're doing
[20:47] <01Kit> <Megumi> Ah, not a trap. A ward... a complicated fence of sorts.
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> And we jumped the fence?
[20:47] <01Chad`Winters> A high chance it's been designed by and for Progenitors or Dark Ones
[20:48] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well that's just great. 6He says with a sigh.
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I sure hope it wasn't made by the Legacy, considering we fought them out here
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head in thought
06[20:48] * 01Chad`Winters glances at Zephyr. 1"That's a possibility. Either way we can't stay here forever. We have to go threw the center."
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I need someone to plot a course for me. I don't trust myself.
[20:49] <01Chad`Winters> We can only plot so much Xan, you're going to have to do it by feel and by how tingly Chip feels.
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> It would take a lot of power to pull a Progenitor ship out of hyperspace, right? Maybe the blackholes didn't do it, but something else?
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Tee-hee.
06[20:49] * 01Chad`Winters glances at Ao. 1"To keep anything from bypassing over it.
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I think so.
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao's hand is on a console, apparantly getting her info directly to catch up
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I am curious what could be out here, if it is designed
[20:50] <01Kit> <Megumi> That would mean Legacy or not, it is designed against Progenitors as well.
[20:50] <01Chad`Winters> It makes sense. But whatever's causing it, is probably past these things. It's where I would put it
[20:50] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> What would be that strong?
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> They have CHIP's technology because they had a future CHIP. All they would have to do is design something to yank it out with their technology
06[20:50] * 01Chad`Winters starts working on a course. 1"Aya, if you see anything off on these calculation, let me know."
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Yes, Daddy.
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya is eyeing her datapad as she works
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Our hands are in Xanatos' hands.
[20:51] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> And Erevis'.
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> But you're moving the shpi@!
[20:51] <01Chad`Winters> Which are on Erevis. 6He slides his display out on his datapad, writing faster
[20:51] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I don't do well with pressure, Zephyr.
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey, Erevis, give him a bonus if we live. Like a kiss.
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Zephyr, then ahead, a slight brow of sweat on her forehead.
[20:52] <01Kit> 6Megumi slowly eyes Zephyr.
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> What? If anything will make him succeed, it would be that.
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks innocent
[20:52] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Almost done, Chad? I'm going to take us in slowly.
[20:52] <01Kit> <Megumi> I am going back to the restroom." 6She moves toward the telepad.
[20:53] <01Chad`Winters> Give me a second. 6He clicks his tongue. 1"Offer the man a kiss and he get's impatient, sheesh."
[20:53] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shakes his head, glancing at Erevis with a hint of worry.
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine. I am just making sure I do not give too much energy and make us move too fast
06[20:53] * 01Chad`Winters lets out a breath of air. 1"I think this is as good as it's going to get." 6He looks at his daughter for her input
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya peers it over for five seconds, then back to her own. "I agree."
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr hugs Megumi once
06[20:55] * 01Chad`Winters nods and looks over at Xan. 1"You've got both Winter's approvals. The rest is going to be feel." He looks up at Chip. 1"If you feel any tugging let Xan know so he can adjust course.
[20:55] <01Kit> 6Megumi pats Zephyr's head, then disappears after making a face.
[20:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods and starts to move forward, making sure to keep on course.
06[20:55] * 01Chad`Winters focuses his attention on the readings now, his eyes getting a wide look as he studies what information they're getting
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> 6 *CHIP plays some of Xanatos' oldies music to lighten the mood
[20:56] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Thanks Chip. 6He notes, trying to relax.
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao pauses, then frowns. "I had a disturbing thought."
[20:56] <01Chad`Winters> What is it?
[20:56] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> ...more disturbing than this music, luv?
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> CHIP's focus is going to be entirely on this. What if the hacker is doing something?
06[20:57] * 01Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"Where's Dawn?"
[20:57] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I would rather not be thinking about that. 6He says with a sigh.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* They begin to get closer to the triangle. CHIP squeals a bit. "Tingling from the top one." 6* He notes, and the ship begins to drift upward a bit
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> He isn't on duty yet.
[20:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slowly attempts to shift them a bit lower, away from that blackhole.
[20:58] <01Chad`Winters> Send him a message to start monitoring the systems incase the hacker tries something.
04[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* As Sammael rests, the lights go off.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets her datapad. "I'll do it."
[20:59] <01Chad`Winters> Thanks. 6He eyes the readings, then the map itself
06[20:59] * 01@Sammael blinks and looks around, standing slowly, she frowns and starts to move towards the teleporter.
04[20:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* As Sammael mvoes forward, she's surrounded by stars
01[20:59] <01@Sammael> "What... is this...?"
06[20:59] * 01@Sammael looks around at the stars.
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* It seems she's in a corridor of Xanatos' stars he likes to look at, only now they're everywhere.
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* The tugging stops.
[21:00] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos takes a breath and continues to push them through. 1Let me know if you start to lose steam.
06[21:00] * 01@Sammael frowns, trying to head in the general direction of the teleporter and stairway. "This is not good."
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* As Xanatos says this, the ship jerks forward fast
04[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* As Sammael moves, the air begins to ge tsucked out from one of the star walls and she's pulled toward it
[21:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos widesn his eyes and tries to keep it under control, and going straight at the very least.
06[21:01] * 01Chad`Winters shifts from the jerk, his hand bracing against the terminal. 1"What the hell just happened?"
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> My fault...I am sorry...
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr messages Dawn about watching the systems
[21:01] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> It's okay. Just take a breath, try to focus on my breathing.
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* ERevis peers at him, then closes her eyes.
06[21:02] * 01@Sammael gasps and attempts to grab hold of something, crying out in shock.
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao makes a face.
[21:02] <01Kit> 6Dawn replies a moment later in a positive.
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* There's nothing to grab but floor
[21:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes sure to breath loud enough for her to be able to hear it, keeping it in a rhythmn. Then continues forward.
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Suddenly the map goes out. <CHIP> Hull breach
06[21:02] * 01@Sammael grabs at the floor desperately, scrambling, trying to go against the pull. "Help!"
[21:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos arches a brow, peering around quickly. 1Where?
06[21:03] * 01Chad`Winters glances down at his datapad at his calculation and then up at Chip. 1"Where?"
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> I cannot locate it, but air was depleting from 1B and I always watch Erevis' house. 6* He seals 1A and 1B and 1B to 1C
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* CHIP pauses. "Tingling to the let."
06[21:04] * 01Chad`Winters looks at Xanatos. 1"Keep focused on your flying Xan."
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks distracted now ,the ship jerking forward again with a boist of power
04[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Sammael slides along the floor slowly, the air beginning to deplete
[21:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face and tries to pull them to the right slightly, also tensing to keep them steady with Erevis' jolt.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* They shudder a bit as caught between the two gravitional wells, they smooth out
06[21:05] * 01Chad`Winters taps his comm to Theron and SPoC. 1"There's a hull breach between 1b and 1c. Do you guys see it on your monitors?
03[21:05] * Jackieness (Psy@h63.3.90.75.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
[21:05] <01@Xanatos> <Theron on Comm> The monitors appear normal.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Air is no longer depleting in 1B now that I sealed it off. The breach is not there
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> And it's not in here
06[21:05] * 01@Sammael continues to resist, desperately trying to do something, she reaches into herself, hoping she can find an answer as she keeps up her resistance.
[21:05] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> ...oh god. Sam.
[21:05] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC peers at the monitors. 1"I agree with THeron
[21:06] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> It's in my zone. Someone get down there. Sam's in there.
06[21:06] * 01Chad`Winters glances at Xan. 1"I said focus on flying."
04[21:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* SAmmael's strength increases a bit
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can go. I don't need air
06[21:06] * 01Chad`Winters looks at Zephyr. 1"Becareful Zephyr."
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, moving to the teleporter pad and hitting 1C. Nothing happens
[21:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos isn't looking away from the area ahead of them. 1Take a rope to secure yourself, just in case.
[21:06] <01@Xanatos> NP: Cable.
[21:07] <01Kit> <Megumi> <1C, huh..?>
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She hits 1B
06[21:07] * 01@Sammael wills herself to keep resisting, desperately pushing her strength to keep from being spaced. She whimpers in her efforts.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr appears in Erevis' zone, moving for the stairs leading down to 1C
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> CHIP, make me a cable.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* They begin to move through the blackholes center
04[21:07] <01Chad`Winters> <Comm> Theron, do you see Sammael anywhere in Xan's zone?
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Well, one small favor is the hacker is not trying to kill us by taking control of the ship
[21:08] <01Kit> <Megumi> <...It is sealed off.>
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets her cable after a delay. <I'm going ot have CHIP open it briefly.>
[21:08] <01Kit> <Megumi> <Ah, then I should just leave.>
[21:08] <01@Xanatos> <Theron on Comm> ...she is upside down on the couch.
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr ties the cable around herself, then around a tree. <Get the baby, Isis, and Athena>>
[21:09] <01Chad`Winters> I don't think killing us is part of his plan yet. 6He glances at Xan. 1"Theron says she's in your zone still.
[21:09] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Don't give the git any ideas, luv.
[21:09] <01Kit> <Megumi> <Of course.>
[21:09] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> She was making a sandwich whenever I left her.
06[21:10] * 01@Sammael claws at the floor as she keeps pulling herself against the pull of the evacuating air.
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they pass the center, alarms go off and the ship rumbles. <CHIP> Hm. It appears I may be too big after all
04[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Sammael's body begins to get very cold
[21:10] <01Chad`Winters> Considering the hacker's shown he can give false infor...6He peers up then looks at the data. 1"Shit. We could try punching ourselves through."
[21:11] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> ....damnit. 6He tenses on the controls. 1If I push to hard we could be ripped apart.
04[21:11] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Open the door. 6* She mvoes down to 1C once CHIP does, then makes a noise as she's sucked along toward Sammael
[21:11] <01Chad`Winters> You dont' push at all and we'll be ripped apart
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis focuses shifts her energy focus to shields, and the rumbling slows
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> <ERevis> I need someone else to handle th engines ...now...
06[21:11] * 01@Sammael closes her eyes and keeps stubbornly attempting to hold on.
[21:11] <01Chad`Winters> Ao, engines.
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao moves to the chair, placing a hand down
04[21:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr slams into Sammael hard enough to knock her loose. She twists her legs around Sammael to grab her
[21:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face and then takes a breath. 1Well if this kills us. I apologize.
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I will not accept such an apology
[21:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos tenses and then presses forward.
06[21:13] * 01@Sammael loses her puchase when Zephyr slams into her, she nearly blacks out, grabbing hold of Zephyr desperately.
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* The jerk forward and escape the shaking and appear to be in clear space. Sensors flicker back on and they can see now they're in the center of a mass of blackholes all around, though not in range of any of them.
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes aim at the open area, forming her dragoon bustah - sadly to Sam it might look like she's aiming at her
[21:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos takes a breath and slumps, bringing them to a halt. 1I don't want to do that anymore.
06[21:14] * 01Chad`Winters lets out a breath of air. 1"We're not out of the woods yet. Aya, sensors picking anything up?"
06[21:14] * 01@Sammael holds on, her expression not changing much in going from one form of panic to another.
04[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fires a blast at into space, to send them back toward the stairs as best she can. Slamming against them, she kicks Sammael up to 1B
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Nothing, though there's strange energy readings in the center of all this. I can't tell what
[21:15] <01Chad`Winters> Focus on them for now. Whatever it is, it has to be the reason for all these black holes
06[21:16] * 01@Sammael stumbles into 1B, grabbing onto the nearest wall as she arrives, clinging to it, gasping for breath.
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Dawn would see in the computer systems someone is about to close the door to 1B and 1C again, probably to snap Zephyr's cord and trap her in 1C
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis remvoes her hands slowly, looking exhausted.
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, working on the scans
06[21:17] * 01Chad`Winters rubs his face now as he looks at Xan. 1"We still need to find our way out."
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Well, that was fun, but we do know we have to go through them again to get out?
06[21:17] * 01@Sammael slowly and with little left in her looks back the way she came, she grabs the cord and starts to use that strength of hers to pull Zephyr in.
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* The doors begin to shut
[21:18] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Maybe if we move closer to that energy we'll get a better idea.
[21:18] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> If it's the cause of these black holes, maybe cutting it off will cause them to collapse in upon themselves.
06[21:19] * 01@Sammael attempts to stop it, reaching out and pushing back against it.
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis enters the bridge
06[21:19] * 01Chad`Winters presses his thumb against his forehead. 1"That'd be pointless. I think that's the reason for all the black holes, not the cause of them. We need to be cautious around it."\
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* The doors push against her, marching onward, slower now, to smash her hand. Zephyr strains to pull herself up the cable
[21:20] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I still want to know what it is. If someone is the reason we're in this mess, then I want to kick their ass.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Erevis pauses. "Oh no."
[21:20] <01Chad`Winters> And once Aya determines it's safe to approach it, we will. 6He looks over at Erevis now
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis moves to chcek on Erevis
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Eve Summers never arrived. She is never one to not do as she says
06[21:21] * 01@Sammael continues to attempt resisting the door as long as she can. "ALPHA ZEPHYR! PLEASE HURRY!"
06[21:21] * 01Chad`Winters peers at Erevis, his eyes going wide. 1"Shit." 6He taps his comm. 1"Eve?"
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Static.
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Suddenly a crystal barrier forms along the door, to stop it. Athena peers down and grabs the cable, helping to yank Zephyr up
06[21:21] * 01Chad`Winters moves for the teleporter pad quickly, his hand unholster Ebony. He steps on it and hits Zone 18
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Nothing happens.
[21:22] <01Chad`Winters> Fuck. 6He hits Zone 17
06[21:22] * 01@Sammael heaves and pulls with Athena.
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chad enters a casino
06[21:22] * 01Chad`Winters shifts off the pad and begins sprinting through it for access to Zone 18.
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Sadly, with so many machines and stuff, it'll take time to navigate
[21:23] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Erevis. Sit down and take a break. Thank you for the help. 6He nods.
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, letting Isis lead her to a seat
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> Is there anything I can do?
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* The two get Zephyr up, and Athena breaks the crystals, the door shutting.
[21:23] <01Chad`Winters> Chip, can you shut down the zone so I can get to 18 faster?
[21:23] <01Kit> 6Dawn messages Xanatos, Erevis, Aya and Chad. [Hacker is active again... Still integrated.]
06[21:23] * 01@Sammael smiles seeing Zephyr safe, then promptly collapses, exhausted. "Thank... goodness."
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> To recreate it would take a lot of energy.
[21:24] <01Chad`Winters> Can you put a price on someones life? 6He continues shifting through all the machines as fast as he can go.
[21:24] <01Chad`Winters> If not, clear me a path.
[21:24] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> I will ask Xanatos and Erevis. 6* He does so.
[21:25] <01Kit> <Megumi> <You know, if you send me to get little Isis, I would assume you yourself are fine...>
[21:25] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Vivi won't be happy about this. 6He notes. 1Do it.
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lays on the grass. <Crisis averted>
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* CHIP deletes half the machines. The Cartel riot
01[21:26] <01@Sammael> * Angela meanwhile sits there, putting down her tools and sighs a bit, grabbing another part and starting to connect it. Oblivious.
06[21:26] * 01Chad`Winters sprints straight forward now, ignoring the Cartel as he runs as fast as he can
[21:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos takes a breath, glancing to Aya slightly to see if she has anything. 1Chip. Recreate them once Chad is out.
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Very well.
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> These energy readings do not make sense. 6* Isis peers over
06[21:28] * 01@Sammael catches her breath, curling up for warmth. "Thank you for your... assistance... Alpha Zephyr and Athena Zhenmei."
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chad reaches a door that leads to the hallway to the next zone. CHIP brings the machines back
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Came to save Zephyr. 6* She hugs onto the girl
06[21:28] * 01Chad`Winters moves to open it
[21:29] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> What doesn't make sense about them?
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* It...opens!
01[21:29] <01@Sammael> "That is good. Alpha Zephyr, thank you once again."
06[21:29] * 01Chad`Winters shifts past it and sprints along the hallway to Zone 18's door
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Well, there's certain funtamental laws and these just don't make since in a time/space manner that we know
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, sitting up. She pats Athena.
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis moves over to peer at the readings herself, her green eyes scanning them
[21:30] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Are they familiar to you at all, Isis?
[21:30] <01Kit> 6Dawn messages Xanatos further. [Getting tired of trying to locate anomalies. Examining CHIP's programming is hopeless. May I get permission to use intuitive AI to help monitor and reinforce?]
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> Yes. I believe they are like the time machine readings Momma Erevis and Megumi told us about
06[21:31] * 01Chad`Winters slides upto the Zone 18's door and tries to open it
[21:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos messages Dawn. [Whatever you need.]
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* It opens. Inside, everything is perfectly normal, except Eve is laying her head on her desk
[21:31] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Time machine? So is this like a time portal, or is there a machine ahead?
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> It's much larger than the machine I used to come back
06[21:31] * 01Chad`Winters quickly moves over to her. 1"Eve?" 6He shifts two fingers to her neck to feel a pulse?
[21:31] <01Kit> 6Dawn replies. [Will do. Just figured CHIP may not appreciate other AI messing around, even if they aren't as developed...]
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Her pulse is fine
[21:32] <01Kit> <Megumi> <Should I head back to the bridge thanks to these breaches, or stay here? Where are you going?>
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <I'll head to the bridge with Athena.>
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets to her feet.
[21:32] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> So. Should we approach?
06[21:32] * 01Chad`Winters shifts Eve back and lifts her up in her arms. 1"Chip, can you restore power to the teleporter in Zone 18?"
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Would that be wise if it is a time portal?
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve stirs as he does so, opening her eyes. "Chad?"
[21:33] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Probably not. I'm just curious why it's out here.
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> <Chad> Done.
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> *CHIP
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I have an idea
06[21:34] * 01Chad`Winters peers down at her, a look of relief on his face. 1"Thank god. I was worried something happened."
[21:34] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Lay it on us.
06[21:34] * 01@Sammael gets up as well, hugging herself.
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> I just...fell asleep I think
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> The Legacy is using this to come back in our time, and if it's large, it's because they are bringing a fleet, and probably have been for a while
[21:34] <01Chad`Winters> I'm bringing you to Cad, I think someone drugged you. 6He moves to the teleporter.
[21:35] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> ...we should destroy it then.
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> Drugged me? ... what about my research! 6* She jerks to eye her terminals
06[21:35] * 01Chad`Winters pauses to look at the terminals now.
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> How do we do that? Would we not have to go through it?
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* They looked wiped clean
[21:35] <01Chad`Winters> Son of a bitch.
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Eve grimaces.
[21:35] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Someone could volunteer to move through it and destory it, though that would mean getting stranded there most likely.
[21:35] <01Kit> 6Megumi steps away from the telepad on the bridge again.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> .... I could go.
[21:36] <01Kit> <Megumi> Or you could just use their own defense against them.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leads Athena to the pad, teleporting up
[21:36] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> What do you mean?
[21:36] <01Chad`Winters> Come on, we need to know what knocked you out. 6He looks at her now, setting her feet down to see if she can stand on her own
[21:36] <01Kit> <Megumi> Collapse this 'gravity gate.'
[21:36] <01Kit> <Megumi> This balancing act is precarious at best.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve nods, shaking her head, then moves for the pad, looking grim
[21:37] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> That would take getting through it first.
06[21:37] * 01Chad`Winters moves with her and hits zone 8 when they're both on
[21:37] <01Kit> <Megumi> We must do that either way.
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> We do not nkow how many of them are already in this time period now
[21:37] <01Kit> <Megumi> We cannot change that, but we can prevent more.
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they talk, Aya's voice rises. "The readings are changing."
[21:38] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> We'll deal with that when the time comes. How do you suggest we collapse the black holes?
06[21:38] * 01@Sammael looks around, she moves over to the telepad and hits the button for the bridge.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Nothing happens
[21:38] <01Kit> <Megumi> Well, I know an easy way, but you will not like it.
[21:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts to glance to Aya, then looks ahead. 1Something is coming back?
[21:38] <01Chad`Winters> Caduceus. 6He calls out as they step into medbay
06[21:38] * 01@Sammael shrugs and hits medbay, perhaps expecting it.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* A large ship begins to emerge from the portal, looking like a Legacy corrupted vessel - as large as CHIP
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena narrows her eyes, hiding behind Zephyr now, looking troubled at the sight
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus leans his head out, eyeing Eve, then Chad
[21:39] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Go on. 6He tells Megumi, eyeing the ship coming out. 1CHIP bring weapons online.
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I told you not to use too much rufee.
[21:39] <01Chad`Winters> I need you to scan her for any foreign substances, viruses, drugs. Anything. Something knocked her out.
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao moves to Dawn's seat and sits down, to fire weapons
[21:39] <01Kit> <Megumi> I can manipulate gravitic distortions to this degree, right? Well, I told you that you would not like that. Alternatively, Zephyr's other form could set off a chain reaction.
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus moves Eve to take a seat, getting his scanner.
06[21:40] * 01Chad`Winters taps his comm. 1"Xanatos, somebody wiped out all of Eve's research so far."
[21:40] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Aya bring up anything you can on that ship. Anything from CHIP's memory banks.
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're not using your powers.
06[21:40] * 01@Sammael steps out into the medical lab, looking around then moving over towards Cad, Eve and Chad.
[21:40] <01Kit> <Megumi> Told you so. Then what about yours?
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> I can say now that is nothing like I have seen. It is mostly like a ship from the future
[21:40] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Zephyr is right. 6He glances at the comm and hits it. 1Get up here chad. This is more importnt.
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't think I'm strong enough to take out a black hole.
06[21:41] * 01Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"Something's happening." 6He moves for the pad and hits Zone 1
[21:41] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Start firing, maybe we can push it into a black hole.
[21:41] <01Kit> <Megumi> You do not need to take it out. You need to imbalance it.
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao begins to open fire; Katrina peers up in the bar as CHIP announces a friendly message about staying in your zones as they fight evil
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ME little, it big.
[21:41] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Huh...
06[21:41] * 01Chad`Winters eyes the viewscreen. 1"Bring me up to speed."
[21:41] <01Kit> <Megumi> Well, those are our options.
01[21:42] <01@Sammael> * Angela looks up and shrugs, going back to work. "If I die, I die doing something I like at least."
[21:42] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Time portal. Big Ship. Pew pew.
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Their shots hit shields, and the ship turns to face them. A second ne begins to emerge
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus scans Eve, ignoring Sam
[21:42] <01Chad`Winters> We need to destroy that portal.
[21:42] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Fuck. How?
[21:42] <01Chad`Winters> Fire everything into it.
[21:42] <01Kit> <Megumi> I just said how...
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> That's a bad idea, Mr. Chad.
[21:42] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I thought you were talking about the black holes.
[21:42] <01Kit> <Megumi> It solves both.
[21:43] <01Chad`Winters> Then attack the ship coming out. It'll be defenseless hopefully
[21:43] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Not while we're in the middle of it!
06[21:43] * 01@Sammael takes a seat nearby and waits. "Is Eve Summers alright?"
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> Since it connects two time periods, if we fire into it, the consequences could be huge.
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Do you notice me not greeting you? That means I do not want to talk
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes Chad, then eyes the first ship, and ebgnis to fire at the second one. The first ne begins to hammer into them freely
06[21:44] * 01@Sammael tilts her head and simply watches.
[21:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos begins to mvoe them to the left, trying to avoid fire.
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* CHIP begins to shake as they're pounded on - they're oto big to avoid fire
[21:44] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> CHIP you need to lose weight. 6He notes with a sigh, trying to put some energy into shields.
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* The second ship shows damage as it comes out.
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* But it's shields raise a moment later.
06[21:44] * 01Chad`Winters rubs his face as he thinks. 1"Something's powering it on the other side, is there a way for us to take that out from our side?
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody hell mate, let me help. 6He moves over and adds some energy to Xanatos'.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> No.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> We need to find the machine doing it
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> So we go through, luv?
[21:45] <01Chad`Winters> So either send someone through it or retreat.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> We cannot all go through, the enemy will wreck havoc in this period
[21:45] <01Kit> <Megumi> CHIP, what would happen if they were too close and their atmospheric shields interacted?
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> They do not have those shields
[21:46] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'll go. CHIP. Make me a shuttle.
06[21:46] * 01Chad`Winters eyes Xanatos
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes Xanatos sharply.
[21:46] <01Kit> <Megumi> Uh. Then what is blocking our firepower?
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Some sort of shield I have not encountered. I do not know if we're even damaging it
[21:46] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Someone has to go. And i'm about the best pilot on this ship. I'm the best choice.
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis sighs, then holds up a hand. "Um, I have an idea."
[21:46] <01Kit> <Megumi> Yes, Isis?
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Please luv. Put an end to this maddness. 6he motions.
[21:47] <01Chad`Winters> We'll hear anything Isis.
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> Use CHIP's shuttle, pack it full of explosives, and um, remote control it through the portal - on a timer, since we cannot remote detonate through time
[21:47] <01Chad`Winters> It could work.
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Do we know if the time machine is just on the other side?
[21:48] <01Chad`Winters> It would have to be very close
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> It would have to be close - it may be a station, though
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> But if that is the case, you going would ot change the outcome.
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis notes meekly
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Let's do it. CHIP start making a shuttle.
[21:48] <01Chad`Winters> Chip, what is the most powerful explosive you can create to fit inside a shuttle?
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> It depends on how much energy consumption we are wiling to use. I can create something with the force of 1000 times what you call a nuclear bomb, I think
[21:49] <01Chad`Winters> I'd rather be safe then sorry on this.
[21:49] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> How tight would that put us on energy?
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis crosses her arms.
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> It would consume 10% energy.
[21:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face and then looks to Erevis.
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> I call it... CHIP's Sunny Delight.
[21:50] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Sounds brilliant, mate.
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Do it. I refuse to have any of us go through until we are sure this time period is safe.
[21:50] <01Kit> <Megumi> Would it be more efficient if you used, say, a plasma-based cell triggered by a wave-emitting device?
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao just grunts ,firing at the ships.
[21:50] <01Chad`Winters> It's our best option. And we can use the ship Chip's already created.
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Can we hurry before we're dead?
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena whimpers when Ao says dead like that. Zephyr peers back
[21:51] <01@Xanatos> <Xaantos> Get to it Chad.
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> I am building the device in the shuttle now.
[21:51] <01Chad`Winters> I'll get right on building it Xan.
[21:51] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I meant get on making sure you can control the remote device, you twit.
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* CHIP shows Megumi the diagramh of his Sunny Delight, and how it incorpates various mechanics
[21:51] <01Kit> <Megumi> Oh. I see.
06[21:51] * 01Chad`Winters grunts and takes a seat, typing into the terminal
06[21:51] * 01@Sammael pulls her legs up and hugs onto them, shivering a bit and continuing her watching.
[21:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek tries to keep their shields up, taking a seat so he doesn't flop over or something.
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Okay, you can go, Eve. 6* Eve nods, getting up and moving fo rher lab
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> What should the timer be set out? Too long and they will destroy the shuttle.
[21:52] <01Chad`Winters> 6 Seconds after it makes it through?
[21:52] <01Chad`Winters> 10? I don't know.
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> How long will it take you to get it to the portal?
06[21:53] * 01@Sammael gets up. "Mister Caduceus?"
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Yes?
[21:53] <01Kit> <Megumi> I do not have time to break this down and analyze the theory you are basing it upon, so I see nothing I could improve. It is interesting, though, can you send sub-diagrams of the volatile substance to my home datapad?
06[21:53] * 01Chad`Winters studies the distance, and tries to add in variables
[21:53] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Aya, can you start working on a flight path out of here?
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Of course! Everyone should enjoy Sunny Delight
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, working on thta
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Erevis takes the pilot seat, and begins to move them way. Athena steps on the pad and goes.
01[21:53] <01@Sammael> "I was nearly blasted into space from a hull breech and was exposed to extreme cold."
[21:54] <01Chad`Winters> A minute and a half maybe to get there.
[21:54] <01Kit> 6Megumi pauses, eyeing the teleporter. <Where is Athena going?>
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus eyes her. "You look fine. You're speaking and standing there like normal. If yo uget sick, let me know then."
[21:54] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Set it to a minute 45 then?
[21:55] <01Chad`Winters> If you think so.
06[21:55] * 01@Sammael nods. "I had to tap into the strength again... should we run scans or is that alright?"
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <I think seeing those ships freaked her out.>
[21:55] <01Chad`Winters> ...Can you design it so if it's impacted it'll explode, Chip?
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> If you begin to have a brain tumor talk to me then
[21:55] <01Kit> 6Megumi frowns slightly, then heads for the telepad as well.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Yes.
[21:55] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> It's not like I learned about this flight academy or anything.
[21:55] <01Chad`Winters> It's got to be strong blasts, incase one of theirs hits it.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis points at a spot in the blackholes. "We need to head that way, I think, and lure them away from thep ortal, or they may shoot the shuttle down."
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* The shields,d espite DRasek's efforts, dorp to 20%. Alarms go off now
01[21:56] <01@Sammael> "Very well. May I remain here until the crisis is over? I am afraid Xan's living quarters are currently inhospitable..."
[21:56] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Go idea. 6He slides over and places his hands over Erevis'. 1Let's go. 6He pushes them forward now.
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> No. Go to the bar
[21:56] <01Chad`Winters> Make the adjustments for that Chip and get ready to launch it on Xan's command.
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> I am done.
[21:56] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek slumps back, letting out a breath. 1Bloody hell, mates, I can't keep this up.
[21:57] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Do it.
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* CHIP teleports the shuttle into space behind them; the other two ships keep firing at them, not noticing it yet
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena sits by the pond in 1B
06[21:57] * 01@Sammael nods and bows a little, then moves to the teleporter and heads over to the bar, she looks around and takes a seat at the bar.
[21:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos eyes the black holes ahead and then takes a breath. 1Here we go. 6He moves in for them, glancing to whatever Aya is feeding him.
06[21:58] * 01Chad`Winters keeps his hands over the terminal, a wide look on his eyes as he focuses
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya brings up as much of the map as she can beyond them
[21:58] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I hope you're controlling it Chad.
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> <ZephyR> Uh, who is remote controlling the shutle?
[21:58] <01Chad`Winters> I've got it patched into my terminal
[21:59] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Chip if you start to feel a tugging, let me know, I'm going to be going a bit fast.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Oh Dear.
06[21:59] * 01Chad`Winters starts flying the shuttle down and around the ship, heading it in an arc towards the time portal
[21:59] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> It'll only hurt the first time.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> There will only be one time.
[21:59] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Ture.
[22:00] <01@Xanatos> NRP: True*
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* One of the ships fires two batteries at the shuttle
06[22:00] * 01Chad`Winters rolls the shuttle to dodge them
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis focuses on the shuttle, frowning
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they enter the gravity wells, the other ship stops firing
06[22:01] * 01Chad`Winters suddenly adjusts the course of the shuttle to head right for the time portal
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Cross your fingers.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I pray they do not attack us in teh gravity well
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, a nose bleed, then she looks at Xanatos. "I believe I have a course in mind." 6* She notes, using her mind to adjust the map course, drawing a line into unknown areas
[22:03] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Are you sure? 6He glances to her, eyeing the blood out of worry
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I used one of the abilities William Spade gave me - the ability to see a bit into the future. I believe this will work. I did not see us dying at the end
[22:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods and adjusts their course.
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Just as Chad's shuttle is at the time portal, another ship begins t ocome through
06[22:04] * 01Chad`Winters tries to adjust the shuttle skim past it and make it onto the other side
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Whatever happens, it doesn't look good - as the shuttle skims through, there's suddenly an explosion on THEIR side, from the ship coming through. Isis grimaces. <Isis> Please do not be as mad as I feared.
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* A shockwave emits as another larger explosion occurs, hitting the other two ships and heading for the blackholes
[22:05] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> What happened?
[22:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos tries to keep them stable if the shockwave manages to reach them.
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> I think it hit the ship coming throgh on their side, causing an explosion at both sides at once.
[22:06] <01Chad`Winters> The timing was off. I tried to slip past a ship coming through
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Whoops.
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> As long as the portal collapsed, who cares.
[22:06] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I sure don't.
[22:06] <01Chad`Winters> I do if it causes something negative
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* The hsockwaves begin to get pulled in all various ways by the blackholes, making it unpredictable
[22:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos eyes the path and tries to speed up, hoping he can get out of the black holes before something bad happens.
06[22:07] * 01Chad`Winters rubs his hands together, a look of worry on his face
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Is it true the closer t oa black hole, the slower time is?
[22:07] <01Chad`Winters> Yes.
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> If we get oto close, then will the shockwave catch up?
[22:08] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Maybe not, but getting close is risky.
[22:08] <01Chad`Winters> If it's not affected by the time dilation, then yes. If it is, no.
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> The last part of this has us going between two black holes. 6* She points ahead at the final two
[22:08] <01Chad`Winters> If we put all energy to rear shields we could use it to push us through.
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> A time portal shockwave that might not be affected by time dialation
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao laughs at that for some reason
06[22:09] * 01Chad`Winters grunts at Ao.
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya appears to be counting random numbers
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Drasek, can you focus on rear shields?
[22:09] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> IF we go through those, we could be ripped apart, should I try to skirt along to one side?
[22:09] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Aye Revi. Doin it now. 6he closes his eyes.
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> If we are to slow, the shockwave will catch us
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> It may be better to risk it
[22:10] <01Chad`Winters> Chip, redirect weapons to the shields also. 6He looks at Xan. 1"We could try to use the gravitation to slip shot us along it's field.
[22:10] <01Chad`Winters> NRP: sling
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Done. Oh, and impact from shockwave in 20 seconds
[22:10] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Hold on tight, then. This is probably going to be very bumpy. 6He nods to Chad, thinkign that it's going to happen. 6He blasts them forward.
[22:10] <01Chad`Winters> Aya, brace for impact. 6He taps his comm. 1"Eve, brace yourself."
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya does so, counting more now, actually audible. She seems to be doing prime numbers
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve clicks an affirmative.
06[22:11] * 01Chad`Winters braces himself.
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds onto Isis
[22:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos smacks his comm. 1Everyone brace for impact. 6He calls out, to everyone on the ship, pushing forward with all he has now.
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* The ship shakes roughly, either from the shockwave or the blackhole, but suddenly they're past it completely, all in a few seconds, as if time jumped forward with the hsockwave
06[22:11] * 01@Sammael gets off her stool and holds onto the bar.
[22:12] <01Kit> 6Megumi puts an arm around Athena, her other still cradling the baby Isis. 1"..." 6She sighs.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena rocks a bit
01[22:12] <01@Sammael> * Angela grabs hold of something, grumbling.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* The ship stops shaking
[22:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slams forward into the controls and then back into the seat, he pauses and peers around.
06[22:12] * 01Chad`Winters peers around now.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis is on the floor
[22:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek pulls his hands from the console. 1...I need a nap, folks.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Should I enter hyperspace in case our friends survived?
[22:12] <01Chad`Winters> Aya, you ok? 6He looks at her.
[22:13] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yeah get us out of here.
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, checking herself over. CHIP shifts and leaps into hyperspace
[22:13] <01Kit> 6Dawn sends Xanatos [...Finished the HunterAIs. Had to fix a minor typo thanks to ...whatever that was.]
[22:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gets out of the seat and slides up besides Erevis. 1Are you okay?
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes. "I am alive."
[22:13] <01Chad`Winters> Chip, start assessing yourself for damage.
06[22:13] * 01Chad`Winters leans back in his seat, rubbing his face
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Very well. I have reparied the breach in 1C.
[22:14] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Let's get you to med-bay. 6He kneels to lift her up. 1Everyone, you did a good job today. Go get some rest.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> ... 6* She moves over to check on Erevis
06[22:14] * 01@Sammael adjusts her stool and sits back down, sighing in relief, she looks about. "Is everyone okay in here?"
[22:14] <01Kit> <Megumi> Seems like everything is fine now.
[22:14] <01Chad`Winters> I hope that time dilation shockwave didn't have any effects on us when it hit us.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena keeps rocking, peering at herself in the water
[22:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus sits up with a piece of tomato on his forehead. 1...
[22:15] <01Kit> <Megumi> Athena... are you alright?
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh no, Chad, your hair is gray! You aged!
01[22:15] <01@Sammael> * Angela looks around then turns back to her work, resuming it.
06[22:15] * 01Chad`Winters slowly peers at Zephyr. 1"...I..I think you actually got younger. Are you're boobs smaller now?"
[22:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek pushes himself to his feet. 1It's nap time for the big battery. You lot be good. 6He moves for the telepoter.
06[22:15] * 01@Sammael tilts her head at Marcus. "You have been stricken with a vegetable, Marcus Jones."
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena eyes Megumi, then jerks, as if seeing a ghost, then calms, almost sadly. "Not dead. Not momma. Momma dead because of them. Zephyr dead because of them"
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr kicks Chad in the shin
[22:16] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Giving us like 2 seconds to get ready. Fucking Xanatos. 6He tosses the tomato into the trash.
06[22:16] * 01Chad`Winters scowls as he rubs his leg his shin furiously. He responds by jabbing at her leg for a nerve cluster to numb it.
[22:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves for the teleporter and teleports to medbay.
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr falls over
01[22:16] <01@Sammael> "Perhaps they were occupied fighting off evil?"
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis goes with Xanatos
[22:17] <01Chad`Winters> Hah. 6He points at her now.
[22:17] <01Kit> <Megumi> Athena. I asked you something. Are you alright?
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> .... 6* She just nods, peering at the water again. "Wanna be alone."
[22:18] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Cad, are you around? 6He peers around.
04[22:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus leans out at Xanatos. "If you're bringing me Sammael again, I'll tranq you."
06[22:18] * 01Chad`Winters stands up now and holds a hand down to Zephyr to help her up
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr hrmphs, taking it
[22:18] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I just need you to make sure Erevis is okay, she tapped into some abilities that she probably shouldn't have.
[22:18] <01Kit> <Megumi> You will never be alone." 6She murmurs, standing up and peering down at her, but then turns, to give her the space she wants. 1"Beloved and I will never allow it, and I am sure we would have felt the same, regardless of time."
[22:18] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek appears in the cosplay zone and peers around.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore is straightening up sets, then peers at Drasek, looking him over for damage
06[22:19] * 01Chad`Winters pulls her up. 1"I think you might've gotten taller." 6He shifts and puts a hand on Aya's shoulder, squeezing it. 1"You did good peanut."
[22:19] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Maybe they should have given us more of a heads up. Jerks. 6He hmphs and cleans up his mess.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya just manages a weak smile. "Thanks."
[22:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek just grabs her in a hug. 1Come'on love. It's nap time.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> ... 6* She hugs her legs. "Everyone dies eventually."
01[22:20] <01@Sammael> "It would have been nice... I don't suppose I could get something hot to drink, Marcus Jones?"
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Ah. Aha. Worked you hard?
06[22:20] * 01Chad`Winters rubs the side of his face now. 1"Eve's fine, but someone wiped all the data she's gathered so far on Angela."
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus nods, moving to a bed. "Lay her down."
[22:20] <01Kit> 6Megumi pauses, blinking, then shakes her head. 1"Huh, so you really do take after me. You do not just look like me."
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Angela? Why is she gathering data on Angela...?
[22:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods and mvoes over to lay her down.
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena's ears remain droopy.
06[22:21] * 01Chad`Winters glances at Zephyr. 1"To make sure nothing goes wrong with her dna."
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus runs some scans; Isis takes a seat nearby.
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. Do you think the person who attacked you two did it?
[22:21] <01Chad`Winters> Yes I do.
[22:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos rubs his face slowly and then glances to Isis. 1We probably would've died if you hadn't been there.
01[22:22] <01@Sammael> * Angela taps a button on the core, opening it up and removing a datachip. "No good..."
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> I am sure you would have figured it out.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns in concern. Aya peers at Chad, then at the sensors. Probably concerned in other ways
[22:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gives her a sceptical look.
[22:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis looks serious
[22:23] <01Kit> <Megumi> Athena, I will not lie to you. I felt that way, and perhaps I still do somewhere in my heart. But would I just said is not a lie, either. As long as there is will in me, I will do everything to ensure you are never alone. I sincerely believe the one who brought you into this world-- I believe I still felt that way. You are here, after all. And I am here.
06[22:23] * 01Chad`Winters sits back down in his seat and he runs his hand through his hair. 1"It's getting out of hand." 6He looks over at Aya. 1"Something wrong with the sensors?
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I should check on Megumi and Athena. 6* She moves for the pad.
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> No. 6* Seh watches Zephyr go. "Just concerned about why someone would do that to the data."
[22:24] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I would've just went through myself.
06[22:24] * 01@Sammael looks over Marcus slowly.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> Momma Erevis said you typically volunteered to do dangerous things
[22:25] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> What?
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus runs brain scans
06[22:25] * 01Chad`Winters nods to Zephyr as she leaves then looks at Aya. 1"Angela's powers are chaotic, uncontrollable, unpredictable. They've caused us to focus our attention on her instead of other things. When we had them in check we were able to focus on more important things.
[22:25] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> No one else will. It was the only reason Warren ever kept me around I think.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena looks at Megumi slowly.
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> I am sure that is not true
01[22:26] <01@Sammael> "I am sorry, I asked if I could get something hot to drink."
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Then she looks back at the water
[22:26] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Maybe not. 6He smiles slightly, before glancing back to Erevis, looking concerned.
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Everyone says they are here. Until they get killed. Saying you will be there is not certain
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> She should be fine with rest. There's no permenant damage if she lays off her psychic mumbo jumbo
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods in thought.
[22:27] <01Kit> <Megumi> Your logic is sound, Athena. You know what does not fall within logic, however?
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> ... What?
[22:28] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yeah you try telling her that. Thanks. 6He nods to Cad and lifts her up.
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis puffs her cheeks. "I can walk."
[22:28] <01Chad`Winters> These recent glitches have been focused on Angela or something related to her. They want her powers to run free, either because they knew they can use them for something or because it acts as a distraction.
[22:28] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm coping a feel while I can. 6He notes with a huff, moving for the teleporter.
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Or both.
[22:28] <01Kit> <Megumi> As clich・as humans have made it, love. It waits for nothing and stops at nothing. It finds a way where there is not one. Perhaps I failed to keep my word before, yet here I still am. I may not be the one who made the promise-- but I will become that person.
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis hurries to follow. Erevis just tilts her head. <Erevis> I do not feel you feeling
[22:29] <01Kit> <Megumi> Ironically, in time. Yet because you are here, I will fulfill my word. I could not do it before, so perhaps I sent you to who could.
[22:29] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Holding you is plenty satisifying. 6He gives her a wink.
06[22:30] * 01Chad`Winters nods. 1"Either way, they've made every attempt they could to stop us from putting an end to her powers.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena sniffles once, makes an almost mewl sound, then leans against Megumi's leg. She still seems sad, but is willing to touch
01[22:32] <01@Sammael> * Angela looks up from her work and sneezes. "Bleh..."
[22:32] <01Kit> <Megumi> I told beloved before. If reality rejects me, then I will reject it. My will is that my love may be. I will not be told otherwise.
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers around once they reach her zone, probably mentally feeling out Megumi and Athena
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis frowns at her, knowing what she's doing
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> <Isis> Momma, the doctor said---
[22:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus blinks and then gets Sam what she wants.
[22:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pinches Erevis. 1stop it.
06[22:33] * 01Chad`Winters leans back in the seat now, crossing his arms. 1"I just hope there weren't any repercussions from that shockwave.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis makes a face. "Very well..."
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Like we are actually 70 years in the future, surrounded by hostile Legacies?
06[22:34] * 01@Sammael smiles and takes the hot drink, taking a sip.
[22:34] <01Chad`Winters> Something like that. 6He looks up at Chip
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Sound like Momma. 6* She sniffs once.
[22:34] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek nods to Fiore and moves them to the teleporter, having been enjoying his hug. 1Bloody slave drivers, love.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Will tell them busy next time
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis goes to check on Megumi and let Xanatos handle Erevis
[22:35] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves for the house, slipping through the front door.
[22:36] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Might die if I'm not about love. I'm important it seems. 6He says with a sigh, leading them towards the bedroom.
01[22:36] <01@Sammael> * Angela turns on some music and gets back to work. "Tan-kun... get me a..." *she looks around, frowning* "Oh right, the kid took you back." *she grabs the tool and starts doing something else to the core*
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> More important to me.
[22:36] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Whew all this cleaning has me pooped.
[22:36] <01Kit> <Megumi> I am your 'momma.'
[22:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek smiles and kisses her cheek. 1Doin this for you, love.
01[22:36] <01@Sammael> "I had to escape a hull breach today. Zephyr saved me."
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena peers up at her. Then hugs onto her legs
[22:36] <01Kit> 6Megumi hrmphs slightly, kneeling to put an arm around Athena.
[22:37] <01Chad`Winters> Did the sensors pick up anything from the shockwave? Maybe give us an idea if it caused anything?
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> I am afraid I cannot determine such things.
[22:37] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Erevis. Take it easy for a while, alright? I'm not asking, I'm telling. 6He moves her into her bedroom.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I am the captain. 6* She notes stubbornly
[22:38] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> A dead captain is a pretty crappy captain.
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> You were ready to sacrifice yourself. If you wish me to take it easy, you will not volunteer so quickly for assignments that is one way. 6* She notes, her tone cracking a bit. Apparantly Xan's willingness bugged her
06[22:39] * 01Chad`Winters rubs his daughters back and leans over kissing her on the side of her head. 1"Atleast nobody was hurt this time."
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Thankfully. 6* Seh messages Dawn to make sure he wasn't attacked again on that thought
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis peers at Megumi and Athena, hiding behind a tree
[22:40] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I know. I'm sorry. But I couldn't willingly let someone else go. I can't make that call.
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I will make such a call if necessary.
[22:42] <01Chad`Winters> I should check in on Eve, see if Cad found anything.
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Let me know how she is. 6* She asks Chad
06[22:42] * 01@Sammael sips her drink more, rocking a bit.
[22:42] <01Kit> <Megumi> I think we are being spied on.
[22:42] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I was the best choice, and you know it. Despite how you may or may not feel about me. Sending anyone else would have just been risking the entire ship, let along their own lives. 6He places her down on her bed. 1Don't think for a minute that I wanted to leave you. But someone has to make the call. And like I said before, I can do that, no matter how much it would hurt me.
[22:42] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Both physically and mentally.
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Isis. Too shy to interrupt.
[22:42] <01Chad`Winters> I will. Dinner tonight? 6He stands up as he looks at her
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I have already had enough of you sacrificing yourself. 6* She snaps
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Sure.
[22:43] <01Chad`Winters> Alright. 6He gives her a smile and moves for the teleporter and hits Zone 18
[22:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos frowns and peers up. 1It's easier to sacrifice myself than to send someone else to die. I'm sorry.
[22:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis just looks away, not commenting now.
[22:45] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> You're right. It's your call. I may offer from now on, but it's really your call. 6He frowns and rubs his face.
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She looks at him, clearly controlling her emotions. "Let us speak of it another time." 6* She notes softly
06[22:46] * 01Chad`Winters steps into Zone 18 and peers around. 1"Eve?"
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve looks up, at her terminals, probably trying to see if she could recover anything
01[22:46] <01@Sammael> "I asked Xanatos Durran about a job to do."
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Say what?
[22:47] <01Chad`Winters> What did Cad say?
01[22:47] <01@Sammael> "I followed your advice about finding work."
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Don't be mad at me. I can't help being who I am, you know that.
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> Just that I was given a sedative to make me sleep
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I am aware. I will be who I am as well.
06[22:47] * 01Chad`Winters frowns as he moves over to her. 1"Any luck on recovering anything?"
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I see. So next time you'll just knock me out? Sounds like a plan. 6He smiles slightly, trying to ease the tension.
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> No.
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> That may occur, yes.
[22:48] <01Chad`Winters> You have any back ups at your place?
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> My datapads were all here, unfortunately, felt they were safer with em
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> *me
[22:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos takes her hand and kisses it lightly. 1Please rest. I'll come check on you later.
01[22:49] <01@Sammael> "It seems I will be able to do something." *she smiles softly* "Thank you for the advice."
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Alright
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena cuddles with megumi now, probably to make Isis jealous. She rubs her head against Megumi
06[22:50] * 01Chad`Winters frowns again and he shifts to stand behind her, his hands moving to rub her shoulders. 1"We'll find out who's behind all this."
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> Oh, it's definitely on the top of my list now.
[22:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos hmms and thens turns and steps out, moving back towards his zone.
[22:50] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh well that's good. I'm glad I could help.
[22:50] <01Chad`Winters> Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned, they say.
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve laughs once, shaking her head
[22:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron peers at SPoC, then ahead. 1It would seem they have settled everything.
[22:52] <01Chad`Winters> We just need to be cautious about this. So far he hasn't put either of us in harms way but that doens't mean he won't if he's threatened.
[22:52] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC looks over at Theron. 1"Yes it would. It would be nice if this hacker make a mistake so we could find him."
06[22:52] * 01@Sammael nods, she tilts her head and pulls out her datapad, calling Xanatos.
02[22:52] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[22:53] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos lifts up his comm. 1Yes?
[22:53] <01@Xanatos> <Theron> Hmm indeed.
[22:53] <01Chad`Winters> I'm having dinner with Aya tonight, I figued you planned on working late anyways. If you want, you can stop by after we're done.
01[22:53] <01@Sammael> "Xanatos Durran, is everything okay in the zone? I am afraid there was a hole in the wall."
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> I'll try. I do want to go over this terminal as thoroughly as I can
[22:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos hmms. 1I'm checking it out now, i'll let you know.
01[22:54] <01@Sammael> "Thank you. I am staying at the bar for a while as I have not much elsewhere to go."
[22:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gives an affirmative and steps down into his zone, peering around.
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* It's as it was left
01[22:55] <01@Sammael> * Angela gets up and puts her tools down, she turns up her HMD and steps out, she goes to the teleporter and hits the gardens.
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Before the attack
[22:55] <01Chad`Winters> I'll talk to you later then. 6He gives her a kiss on her cheek and moves for the teleporter
[22:56] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos sends Sam a confirmation page, then turns and moves for security.
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> -END-
