[20:01] <01@DeathStar> Location: Various Places
[20:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* It is around lunch time. So far, things have been quiet. TOO quiet.
[20:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos eats on some left over cake at his desk in his security office.
[20:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Left over...HAPPY cake
01[20:03] <01@Sammael> * Angela sits in engineering, still working steadily in her secluded area, she seems about as out of it as she usually does.
[20:03] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC works diligently in the security room
[20:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits at the bar, writing something in a notepad.
06[20:03] * 01Chad`Winters sits on his porch, carving away at some wood pieces, a chess board nearby
06[20:04] * 01@Sammael steps into the bar and heads towards the counter, done with classes for the day, some famfrit writing on her hand, she sits down and looks more cheerful then usual.
[20:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus tries to catch a glimpse on what she's writing, cleaning the counter.
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* She moves it just enough to block his sight, as if knowing
[20:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus slumps and grumbles slightly as he continues to wax on and off.
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gathers things into a bag in the garden zone, whistling; Erevis remains asleep for once.
06[20:05] * 01@Sammael looks at the two and smiles a bit more. "Hello."
[20:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances up slightly. 1Hi Sam.
04[20:05] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Sammael.
[20:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron steps into security, moving for his station, about to start his work day.
06[20:06] * 01@Sammael just nods, not reiiterating their names today. "I'd like some juice and a turkey sandwich please."
[20:06] <01Kit> 6Megumi tiptoes toward Zephyr.
[20:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore sits in the cosplay area, blankly peering at some scenary not begun
04[20:07] <01Kit> 6A bucket of water is dumped over Sammael.
[20:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods and gets her juice before moving into the back to make the sandwich.
[20:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, suspicious, peering about, but shrugs it off, gathering more leaves and flowers.
[20:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses eyeing the water.
[20:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns as well
[20:07] <01Kit> 6Megumi steps out from behind a bush and tiptoes closer.
04[20:07] <01Kit> 6The kid famfrit that hasn't been in the bar in ages, yet punked Sammael in class makes it back to the pad and makes for other parts.
[20:08] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> CHIP, ban the child that just left from coming back.
[20:08] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Understood. One moment. Processing. Completed.
[20:08] <01@DeathStar> 6 Athena peers out from the back
06[20:08] * 01@Sammael sighs and looks up, curious as to how he even managed it, muttering something in Famfrit, rough but clear now. She shakes her head. "I will have to find whoever is looking after that child."
[20:09] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Sorry Sam. 6He turns and moves into the back to get her sandwich.
01[20:09] <01@Sammael> "It is alright, the child has done this before."
[20:09] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> The child belongs to Chad Winters. Speak to him on the mater.
[20:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek sits down besider her holding two plates with lunch on them.
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ktarina moves to get a towel for Sam
06[20:10] * 01@Sammael raises a brow. "...It does seem to be familiar tactics observed before."
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Indeed. You should speak to him at once
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, then whirls around in Megumi's direction
01[20:10] <01@Sammael> "I will once I have consumed my lunch." *she nods*
04[20:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena takes a picture of Sammael with her device, then pokes her head back into the back
[20:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos dusts his hands clean and slides the plate back, getting to his feet. He grabs his datapad and places it in his pocket, moving for the exit. 1Security is yours Natalie.
06[20:11] * 01@Sammael blinks, then looks to the door, then down at herself, then self conciously puts an arm over her chest. "I should endevour to not favor white so much."
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore takes a moment to even realize he's there, jerking in surprise
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Ah. Aha. Drasek
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina returns with the towel, setting it down for ehr
[20:12] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Brought you some lunch, love. Still havin trouble without your abilities?
[20:12] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC nods to Xanatos
01[20:12] <01@Sammael> * Angela gets up and stretches, she looks at the time and sends out a lunch order on her datapad.
[20:12] <01Kit> 6Megumi eyes Zephyr, standing still like she won't see her.
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya sends Xanatos a notice she can take her old job back any time now
06[20:12] * 01@Sammael takes it and smiles softly, bowing her head. "Thank you Katrina." *she begins to pat dry*
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena eyes the order come in, then looks at Marcus sheepishly. "Your turn?"
[20:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps on the teleporter and then tilts his head, he replies with a simle 'Anytime.' and then hits the bridge.
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Like missing limb.
[20:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus gives her a smirk. 1Sure. 6He moves to begin fixing it.
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao sits on the bridge, observing space as they move
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> No problem. 6* She sits
[20:14] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> I'm sorry, love. Wouldn've happened had I got there faster.
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* She leans in so her nose is touching MEgumi's
[20:14] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Hello Captain Ao. 6He says in a pleasant tone.
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Hello, Chief.
06[20:15] * 01@Sammael smiles and looks about. "I must be early to the lunch hour, it seems quiet."
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Ah. Aha. Nonsense. 6* Eyes the stuff. "Want to paint? Asked Oniichan to help, too."
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, with no real hours, people come and go as they want
[20:16] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Anything new to report? 6He takes a seat at Aya's station, leaning slightly to glance ahead.
[20:16] <01Kit> 6Megumi winces slightly, then leans back, making a face and scrunching her nose.
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Not yet. CHIP mentioned something about attaining true prank revenge.
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Did you miss me already?
01[20:16] <01@Sammael> "Ah yes... I suppose I keep my own with scheduled classes." *she pulls out her datapad from under her clothes, checks it over then turns it on when satisfied, laying it down to go over notes on a dry surface*
[20:17] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Could try to help. Dunno much about my paintin abilities. 6He pauses. 1Could also help get used to using your other senses.
[20:17] <01Kit> 6Megumi huffs, peering away as she rubs her nose. 1"Felt like you were up to something."
[20:17] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Oh really? Well I'm glad he's having fun.
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Hai. True.
[20:18] <01@Xanatos> 6Marcus steps back out and places out the food for Sam. He slowly slides towards Katrina, trying to peer at her notepad.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Me? Nope. 6* She hides the huge bag behind her tiny frame
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina flicks at another angle. "Give it up, sweetie."
[20:18] <01Kit> <Megumi> You look like Santa Claws.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Loving, cheerful, and giving?
[20:18] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> You know, one of these days I'm going to figure out how to get past your brain sensing thingy. 6He motions with his hands, letting otu a huff.
[20:19] <01Kit> <Megumi> A bit on the pudgy side with a big bag.
06[20:19] * 01@Sammael sips her juice and giggles.
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks, then begins to water up
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't need psionics to know your tactics, honey.
[20:19] <01Kit> <Megumi> Will not work. I have mastered my hormones." 6She motions proudly.
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao shrugs, sitting in silence, when Aya appears on the bridge
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> P-Pudgy? 6* She begins to hiccup now, as if about to cry
[20:20] <01Kit> 6Megumi ignores it and reaches around to try and get the bag
06[20:20] * 01@Sammael eats her sandwich eager, watching the two.
[20:20] <01Kit> 6Dawn appears on the costume hall level, carrying a satchel.
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds it back, then runs off, bawling
[20:20] <01Kit> 6Megumi gives chase, rolling her eyes.
[20:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances up, pushing himself out of her seat. 1Oh, I didn't realize you meant immediately.
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Oh, should I wait?
[20:21] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> So what'll I be painting.
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leaps up and climbs a tree, peering down
[20:21] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> No, no. I'll just take Dawn's seat. 6he moves over for it.
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Ah. Aha. Dark Knight's wedding hall
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> You don't know where that seat's been
[20:22] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm like a ninja. It HAS to be the psionics.
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Hmm, alright. I won't use psionics for the day, if you don't use..
[20:22] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> My sweet ninja abilities?
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> I meant real abilities
[20:23] <01Kit> 6Megumi peers up, scowling. 1"Hey! No fair!"
[20:23] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Ow, seriously? That was just mean. 6He sniffs.
06[20:23] * 01@Sammael looks over Marcus, as though wondering what those could be.
[20:23] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Good point. 6He moves over to take megumi's seat.
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Wait, you're a cat, aren't you?
06[20:23] * 01Chad`Winters watches over the security feeds
[20:23] <01Kit> 6Megumi slowly eyes the tree, then her stomach, then Zephyr. She narrows her eyes, then goes and finds a fell branch, swatting up at her.
[20:23] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Wedding hall eh? Who's the Dark Knight marryin?
[20:24] <01Kit> 6Dawn walks in on Drasek and Fiore, setting the satchel down gently.
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lets out a noise and falls out, landing in the bag - sending up flowers and leaves
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Oniichan
[20:24] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> .....
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya moves to take her seat, a smile, as she begins to go over scans
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore waves in greeting
[20:24] <01Kit> 6Dawn peers over, tilting his head. 1"Ohayou, oneesama."
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* She pauses, then looks at Drasek oddly. "Take princess."
[20:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses. 1Oh! 'lo mate. 6He glances to Fiore again. 1Yeah. Princess.
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> You have to make food today that anyone wants, but you have to do it without taste testing it, or using your nose
06[20:26] * 01@Sammael blinks.
[20:26] <01Kit> <Dawn> Brought potstickers and chocolates.
[20:26] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> ....but then it might be bad and they'll complain and we'll lose all our customers and then we'll be poor and that means not private school for the kids an- 6He takes a deep breath.
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares at him
01[20:26] <01@Sammael> "Kids...?"
[20:26] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Okay. 6He gives her a big smile.
04[20:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers away at Sammael, then at her notepad, as if debating what to say
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Boring day if you're here, then?
[20:27] <01Kit> <Freyja> Okay ...to kids..?
[20:27] <01Kit> 6Freyja claps from the telepad, smiling brightly. 1"Congratulations, Kat!"
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pulls herself out of the bag, coughing up a white flower
[20:27] <01Kit> <Megumi> Oh! I love these ones!
06[20:27] * 01@Sammael gasps. "Really?"
[20:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus makes a face, rubbing the bridge of his nose.
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina grimaces now, closing the notebook
[20:27] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Damnit.
[20:28] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I let me second in command take over. 6He smirks. 1I get to see how she handles things.
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena wisely does not come out of the kitchen
01[20:28] <01@Sammael> "...Th-They are not denying it or givign me odd looks..."
[20:28] <01Kit> <Freyja> H-Haa..? Ara..?" 6She looks confused, though trying to stay cheery.
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe in the future, we'll have kids.
01[20:28] <01@Sammael> "O-Oh... I see."
[20:28] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> In the future. 6He notes with a nod.
[20:28] <01Kit> 6Freyja blinks, rubbing her cheek. 1"..."
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> But didn't Dr. Caduceus say that it was going to get harder to have kids considering your condition?
[20:29] <01Kit> <Freyja> I-- I believe I'll go." 6She looks embarassed.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> So why wait?
06[20:29] * 01@Sammael blinks and looks at the two again.
01[20:29] <01@Sammael> "Th-There is trouble?"
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances up, then rubs his face. 1You should just drop is Sam.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a deep breath. "No trouble worth mentioning. I think I'll go check on Athena to see how lucnh is coming." 6* She moves into the back
06[20:30] * 01@Sammael blinks and nods, looking away. "Yeah... sorry."
06[20:30] * 01@Sammael starts to quickly finish her sandwich.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs. "So much for making you a dress like your wedding one now. Surprise ruined."
[20:30] <01Kit> <Freyja> I--" 6She looks serious. 1"I am named after a goddess of fertility! As a priestess I'll pray for you and perform rites if you wish!" 6She jerks, then hits a button to go to the garden
[20:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus slumps, rubbing his face.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> If it makes you feel better, she left the notepad out
[20:30] <01Kit> <Megumi> I would like that." 6She smiles. 1"...If you wear it." 6She deadpans.
06[20:31] * 01@Sammael rubs the back of her head again. She slowwwwwly peers up at Marcus.
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I was going to make one for me, too. It's for after Athena is born
[20:31] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> It ruins the fun. 6He notes, popping down on a stool.
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I also was going to have you suggest a color for Erevis
[20:31] <01Kit> <Megumi> White.
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore seems to snap back in, tuning out a lot. "Ah. Aha. Food. Yes. would go with Drasek's meal."
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Alright. Should I make hers shwo more, less, same?
[20:32] <01Kit> 6Dawn tilts his head.
[20:32] <01Kit> <Megumi> More!
01[20:32] <01@Sammael> "Mmm... I shall stay till she comes back then." *she sips her juice*
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> More flowers? Hm
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr climbs out of her bag
[20:33] <01Kit> 6Megumi eyes her. 1"Less."
[20:33] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Who? Kat? No, you should leave her alone.
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, okay.
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> You have to find that child's owner, right?
[20:33] <01Kit> <Megumi> Like yours. You can use the extra flowers on mine.
01[20:33] <01@Sammael> "Oh, the intention is not... well yes..."
[20:33] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> CHIP is right.
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hee. Yeah, right.
06[20:33] * 01@Sammael gets up. "I was merely going to remain so you had a witness to you not peeking." *she smiles*
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Paladin passes Freyja, having come from some area in the garden
[20:33] <01Kit> 6Megumi crosses her arms with a snort.
[20:34] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> CHIP is my witness. He would rat me out in a heartbeat.
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Has SPoC failed yet?
[20:34] <01Kit> 6Freyja blinks. 1"Oh, h-hello. You don't come here often.
[20:34] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> We're all still alive, so it doesn't seem so.
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> <Paladin> I just had some things to do. 6* He notes politely, moving around to her pad.
06[20:34] * 01@Sammael looks up at nothing in particular questioningly.
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> You think about giving her fake tests? Like claim the ship is being invaded to see how she handles it?
[20:34] <01Kit> <Freyja> Ah. Well, I am glad when people visit here.
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> <Paladin> You still come here often? I heard about your house
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart eyes her hand of cards, peering at the money in the center of the table, then tosses down another 500 creds
[20:35] <01Kit> <Freyja> I am the garden's caretaker, I am often here.
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> <Paladin> Right. 6* He steps onto the pad, turning to face her.
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves over and places a white flower over one of Megumi's ears, adjusting her hair to it
06[20:35] * 01@Sammael shrugs and heads over to the teleporter, hitting the button for Chad's zone.
04[20:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena peers out once Sammael is gone, offering Marcus what appears to be pie
[20:36] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I thought about it. But with this ship, something will happen eventually.
[20:36] <01Kit> <Freyja> CHIP could handle it, really, but he prefers me to have a hand in it, it seems, and I don't mind. I enjoy planting and managing it. Besides, there are important things to me here, besides my hut.
[20:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances up. 1It's not happy pie is it?
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> <Paladin> What is that?
06[20:36] * 01Chad`Winters sits on his porch, whitling away at some wood.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Made it. Put happy thoughts into it
[20:37] <01Kit> <Freyja> Memories. And a certain tree.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> <Paladin> Tree?
[20:37] <01Kit> 6Freyja nods, smiling but quiet.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Well, now we're jynxed.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods. "Have a good day, Freyja." 6* He hits the bar button
[20:37] <01Kit> 6Freyja waves cheerfully, then turns to walk further inward.
06[20:38] * 01@Sammael steps out into Chad's zone and looks around, moving towards Chad's porch.
06[20:38] * 01Chad`Winters doesn't pay her any notice, either not noticing her yet or ignoring her
[20:38] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> You believe in that sort of thing?
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Zephyr says it's real
01[20:38] <01@Sammael> "Chad?"
06[20:38] * 01Chad`Winters slowly peers over her. 1"What?"
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers about, then places a rose between Megumi's breasts, then hees and grabs her bag. "So, want to do anything fun?"
[20:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods. 1I'll have a slice. Hey Paladin, want to try some of Athena's pie? 6He asks when he appears.
01[20:39] <01@Sammael> "Are you taking care of a famfrit boy? CHIP said you were."
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> <Paladin> Soup will be fine
[20:39] <01Kit> 6Megumi stares at the flower, eyeing Zephyr, then blinks. 1"Like what?"
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't know. A game? We haven't played in months
06[20:39] * 01Chad`Winters eyes her blankly. 1"No."
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps out with Angela's order, moving to the pad wiht it
[20:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods and reaches out to take the pie. 1One order of soup Chef Athena.
[20:39] <01Kit> <Megumi> You seem to have something in mind.
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm. 6* She thinks. "We should get everyone to play hide and seek in the garden."
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya casually uses the ship's computer to send everyone a memo about the chess tournament in a few weeks, along with where to contact her to sign up
01[20:40] <01@Sammael> "I-I see... the boy has been pranking me with buckets of water and other such things... perhaps..."
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore glances down when her datapad beeps, having had some of what Drasek brought, and some of Dawn's, still putting off doing work on the set
[20:40] <01Chad`Winters> Nothing I can do aobut it.
[20:41] <01Kit> 6Dawn puts a hand on Fiores, sitting down beside her with a chocolate bar in his mouth.
01[20:41] <01@Sammael> "I see... I will have to search the Famfrit area then." *she nods a little and looks over the porch*
[20:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek has since moved over to tentatively paint, he pauses and checks the message before looking back to the set.
01[20:42] <01@Sammael> * Angela continues to work, oblivious to the world as she scans over machines and does what she's supposed to do quietly.
[20:42] <01Chad`Winters> 6It's a porch, with a bench, two chairs and a table on it. Nothing fancy
06[20:43] * 01@Sammael focuses on the chess board and wood carving pieces. "...Are you making a game?"
[20:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to his datapad, then back to Ao. 1Well I hope I didn't jinx us.
06[20:44] * 01Chad`Winters rubs the side of his head, then looks at her. 1"Do you need something?"
01[20:44] <01@Sammael> "Just curious about you... that seems to be coming along nicely." *she smiles politely*
06[20:45] * 01Chad`Winters doesn't pay any attention to the polite smile. 1"Nothing curious about me."
06[20:46] * 01@Sammael tilts her head. "Chad Winters, you are one of the single most interesting persons living on this ship."
06[20:47] * 01Chad`Winters grunts in response.
[20:48] <01Kit> 6Megumi deadpans. 1"Where would I hide?"
[20:49] <01Kit> 6Dawn peers over at Fiore, gently conveying a few simple thoughts to try and see if she can react again.
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus sits down to try the pie while Athena gets Paladin his soup.
06[20:49] * 01@Sammael blinks a bit and watches him, apparently not able to translate a grunt into anything meaningful. "From what I have read, witness, and grown to know about you, that is a simple conclusion to make. You draw more attention to yourself with the denial then the admittance, you know."
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Was that message now somethin gbad?
[20:50] <01Chad`Winters> If you say so.
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Geeze, there's lots of places, but alright - what would you like to play where we can get the entire family together
[20:50] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> No. Just Aya reminding me about the Chess Tournament. 6He smiles, glancing to Aya.
01[20:50] <01@Sammael> "I do say so." *she gently puts her hands on her hips* "So... is that a chess set?"
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* The pie seems to be lime key pie of sorts - Athena steps out with the soup, setting it down, along with a beer
[20:50] <01Kit> 6Megumi laughs at Zephyr.
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr puffs. "What?"
[20:51] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> This is good. 6He speaks up, between bites.
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> I know. 6* She nods, then exits wiht a bounce. Paladin drinks his beer
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* KAtrina sets the food down on Angela's desk, turning to go
[20:51] <01Kit> <Megumi> I think you have more hormone problems than me." 6She sniffs, again proudly.
06[20:51] * 01Chad`Winters eyes her then the chess board he made, then her again.
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... you do know I experience, to a degree, what you do. I just don't let it show often
01[20:51] <01@Sammael> * Angela looks up as she turns to go, blinking. "Oh, thank you Kat."
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina just nods, exiting
[20:52] <01Kit> 6Megumi laughs obnoxiously behind her hand at Zephyr's folly.
01[20:52] <01@Sammael> * Angela is already back to work.
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya looks over. "Will either of you join?"
06[20:52] * 01@Sammael frowns and nods slowly, "I shall conclude the answer is yes then. Who do you plan to play?"
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore doesn't seem to react, but she does begin to do scenary work, as if suddenly inspired. "Going to. Sign up?"
[20:53] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I will probably. I doubt Ao will, we haven't really gotten around to playing yet.
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> W-Whatever, I'm joining. I'll show you who's better
[20:53] <01Chad`Winters> Nobody.
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao grabs ehr datapad and signs up
[20:53] <01Kit> 6Dawn looks disapppointed and even a little depressed, backing off to nibble on his chocolate bar.
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Not even Aya? She will be sad. 6* He can be heard informing her
06[20:54] * 01@Sammael nods. "A chess set should have two players... perhaps I could play you some time?"
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena steps out with her datapad, txting Aya a long message that includes lots of faces
[20:54] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> You don't even know how to play.
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I'll learn. If you learned, I can learn
[20:54] <01Chad`Winters> I'll pass. 6He glances up. 1"I was lieing, Chip
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya peers down at a notice from CHIP
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Oh. Whoops!
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr scowls, walking off; she responds via datapad to Aya and lets her know she'll play
[20:55] <01Chad`Winters> Yeah, I'm sure it really was.
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore seems to slack off doing work agian. "No answer?"
[20:56] <01Kit> <Megumi> CHIP, announce to the 'crew' members and children that we will be holding a treasure hunt in the garden.
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr peers backwards at Megumi
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Affirmative. One moment as I generate a send all list
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya quietly goes back to her work, letting her datapad handle accepting and listing players
[20:56] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos smiles. 1We can play tonight after dinner if you want.
06[20:56] * 01@Sammael shrugs and turns to go. "I will stop bothering you."
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Fine.
[20:57] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Oh so that means you'll come over for dinner?
[20:57] <01Chad`Winters> Thanks. 6He says simply and he goes back to whitling away.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> You said after
[20:57] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Implying that we would have dinner first.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I heard no such implication
[20:57] <01Kit> <Megumi> Better start hiding treasures, Zephy.
04[20:57] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Besides, I am sure Sammael wants to make you more cake
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> You want ME to do it?
[20:57] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> You heard about that?
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Who hasn't
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena squeals at the message of a treasure hunt as it comes in, running for the garden
[20:58] <01Kit> <Megumi> You would make me?" 6She looks aghast, putting a hand on her belly as if she's winded.
[20:58] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> She's been telling people? I haven't told anyone.
06[20:58] * 01@Sammael pulls out her datapad as she heads back to the teleporter, responding to Aya's message with an affirmative. She hits the button to 1C and vanishes.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Paladin watches her go; Katrina steps back in a moment later
[20:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek gets annoyed and almost punches the set, sitting back in a huff.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> It seems you're her new man
[20:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances up to watch her go, then looks to Kat. 1Hello beautiful.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore focuses on Drasek, since DAwn wn't respond. "What is wrong?"
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> So mean
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tears up. "I'll get Freyja to help me.
[20:59] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> I'm ruddy awful at this! I paint a flower and it looks like vomit!
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore glances at it
[20:59] <01Kit> 6Freyja appears beside Zephyr. 1"Hm?"
[20:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* It is an ugly flower.
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Ah. Aha...
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> WAnt to hide treasures fo-with me?
[21:00] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Are you relieved? I could set you two up on a nice date.
[21:00] <01Kit> <Dawn> ...Oii... Fiore brutte.
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I would not stand in your way with her. I will come after dinner
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore moves over to the painting, then takes Drasek's hand, showing how he can fix it some. "Brutte?"
[21:01] <01Kit> 6Dawn winces as he says this, reverting to italian likely to not insult Drasek.
[21:01] <01Chad`Winters> Chip, did you tell her some famfrit was my kid?
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore eyes Dawn slowly
[21:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek glance sbetween the two, but then focuses on the hand movement to fix it.
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> It is stated people in your mental state require visitors so they do not go insane.
[21:02] <01Kit> <Freyja> Hm? Sure! It sounds like fun.
06[21:02] * 01@Sammael looks about before stowing her things in her room and then heads to the kitchen, she pulls out her datapad and looks for something new to make.
[21:02] <01Chad`Winters> You think I'm going to go insane?
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Always possible!
01[21:02] <01@Sammael> * Angela remembers her food finally and walks over to sit at the desk and munch as she works.
[21:03] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'd rather you did. 6He notes as he stretches his arms out, leaning his head back to stare at the ceiling.
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Katrina mvoes to MArcus
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Hey, you
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Then just be direct like I was.
04[21:03] <01Chad`Winters> Way to pick somone like Sammael to give me company. 6He says dryly
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Well, I figured if you could alienate one of hte most naive people on the ship, you were doomed to fail with all the others - I mean, not like Aya is visiting anymore after that little misunderstanding with the chess.
[21:04] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Sorry about that. I wasn't thinking about our company.
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> It's okay. Really.
[21:04] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yeah, I probably will.
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks at the two, perhaps intrigued.
[21:04] <01Chad`Winters> Yeah, I'm sure I'll appreciate that one, Chip.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore frowns at DAwn, as if warning him to be nice
[21:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus gives her a smile and reaches out to take her waist.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore goes back to correcting the flower as best she can with Drasek
[21:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek seems to do fine when shown, though his own still aren't as good as when Fiore helps him.
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers down at him, as if not expecting that.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena bounds into the area with Megumi, sniffing for treasures
[21:07] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> You know, you could come over for dinner, in all seriousness. I'm not a bad cook, of course I'm probably not as good as Marcus.
[21:07] <01Kit> <Dawn> Qu..!? Diro la pura verit・" 6He looks exasperatedly at Fiore, pouting.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I'm fine.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore just lays into him in some off shoot dialect about how he better be politer
[21:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus continues smiling as he gives her a kiss on the cheek.
06[21:08] * 01Chad`Winters reaches over grabbing his datapad off the table and sends a message that Chip's message about him not playing chess with anyone was Chip trying to be funny
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya leans forward as she picks up on somethingon the sensors
06[21:08] * 01@Sammael chooses a recipe and notes the time, then heads out to the gardens area, looking about curiously.
[21:08] <01Kit> <Freyja> Okay, I did as you asked..." 6She returns to Zephyr, worn out.
[21:08] <01Kit> 6Megumi eyes Zephyr. 1"You are horrible."
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> What? I--
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena begins to knock at a tree, as if to get soemthing down. Aya peers over. <Aya> I'm picking up an audio signal, Mr. Xanatos.
[21:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos arches a brow. 1Audio signal? Out in space? 6He glances over to Aya, looking confused.
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> A communication signal
[21:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos looks to Ao. 1Well Captain Ao, what do you think we should do?
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> What? It's just someone using a comm signal - why should we care?
[21:10] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> A comm out in space? IT might be another ship. 6He notes.
06[21:11] * 01@Sammael looks about curiously, wandering out onto the grass. She's barefoot again, she smiles and starts to wander.
[21:11] <01Kit> 6Dawn peers away, frowning like a scolded child. 1"Hmph. Nan datte. Zurui shiita."
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I cna't make out what's being said yet - I think it is similiar to Cartel tecnh.
[21:11] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> And it's for sure not coming from inside this ship?
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> ... Okay, okay, uh, alert your security
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Yes, Mr. Xanatos - I'm sure on that much
06[21:11] * 01Chad`Winters sends a message to Eve asking for all the data she's pulled together the last days so he can start getting caught up again
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* He's denied the data almost immediately - Eve so far hasn't even got in touch with him, indicating she's still getting caught up
[21:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos taps his comm, setting it to the security frequency. 1Everyone be prepared, we've intercepted a communication.
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Can someone wake up Erevis ? She should take point
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes her comm; Athena angles her head, her god ears at work
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I think you can handle this Ao. You've got me here to help.
06[21:13] * 01Chad`Winters tosses the datapad to the side.
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Why would I handle it when she's capable?
[21:14] <01Kit> <Megumi> Security again..?
[21:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shrugs. 1She should probably be informed either way.
[21:14] <01Kit> 6Megumi sighs. 1"CHIP, delay the treasure event."
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. I'll head to the bridge
06[21:14] * 01@Sammael wanders over to Zeph and Meg.
[21:14] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> CHIP. Can you wake Erevis and inform her about what's going on?
[21:14] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC gets up and moves to the teleporter, hitting the bridge
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hands Athena the bag of flowers, then hurries off
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> I will try - I am allowed to use alarm sounds, right?
[21:15] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Only if you're nice about it and don't give her a heart attack.
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> 6 *CHIP does so. Aya focuses on boosting the signal, while telling Xanatos where to direct the ship
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> As if I would kill the captain.
[21:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos smiles and sits up, slowing the ship down a notch as he adjusts course.
[21:16] <01Kit> 6Dawn eyes his datapad, then rubs his neck and stands, peering at the other two. 1"Durran still wants Drasek." 6He mumbles, then walks off to the pad.
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> ... 6* She looks down, then eyes Drasek, as if wanting to come
06[21:16] * 01@Sammael looks at Zephyr leaving, then at Megumi. "Hello Megumi Zhenmei."
[21:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek stands and holds out his hand. 1Come'on, then.
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* AThena pokes her head into the bag, then eyes Meg. "Can I wear one, too?"
04[21:16] <01Kit> 6Megumi eyes Sammael slowly, then jumps, looking around quickly as if detecting she's been singled out.
[21:17] <01Kit> 6Megumi blinks at Athena. 1"Of course, sweetie."
06[21:17] * 01@Sammael giggles.
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Want the dress that shows less! 6* She nods
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart tosses her cards down, losing her hand and gets up, grabbing her alcohol
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Should we inform the Cartel in the event it is a Cartel ship?
[21:17] <01Kit> 6Megumi quivers visibly. 1"...Less skin..?"
[21:18] <01Chad`Winters> <Loki> You think you'd realize never to play against me by now.
06[21:18] * 01@Sammael blinks and looks over at Athena.
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart peers at Loki, havign settled on a hand full of Famfrit
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> *table
[21:18] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> If and only If.
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> I didn't realize you were omni capable
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Ooooh, I understand; keep them out of the loop
[21:19] <01Chad`Winters> <Loki> Well it is my casino. And the house always wins
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart takes a drink from her bottle. "Until they lose."
[21:19] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> No. There's just no need to call them if it doesn't pertain to them, right?
[21:19] <01Chad`Winters> <Loki> You have to give up some games, othewise the people never come back
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Aren't Cartel like pirates? Getting salvge?
[21:20] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> That's one of many operations they run.
[21:20] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC steps onto the bridge and peers over at Durran
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart just smiles at that, waving at the Famfrits as they move off, happy they won
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr enters the bridge
[21:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek takes Fiore's hand and moves towards the teleporter.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena nods, then moves off with her bag
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore is dragged along
[21:21] <01Chad`Winters> <Loki> See how happy they are now?
[21:21] <01Kit> 6Dawn reports to the bridge, staying off to the side, but toward the front lest Xanatos forget he exists again
[21:21] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Is it getting any clearer, Aya?
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> A little. I think I might know why there's distortion
[21:22] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Why's that?
[21:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek and Fiore appear on the bridge, Drasek moves them off to the side some.
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya brings up a map of the area - there seems to be a lot of strange nebula gases in the area, and strange fluxes in scanner readings - as well as some scatterd asteroid debris
[21:23] <01Kit> 6Megumi breathes a sigh of relief that Athena's not wanting to be scanty.
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> She meant she plans to show skin, you realize
[21:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to the map. 1Hmmm. What should we do?
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis enters the bridge, adjusting her braided hair and sits down, all in black today
[21:23] <01Kit> <Megumi> Wh-What..!?" 6She breathes out.
06[21:23] * 01@Sammael shrugs and wriggles her toes in the grass.
[21:24] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I don't know, you all wanted to come and lis--ah, Erevis
[21:24] <01Kit> 6Megumi makes a face and takes off after Athena.
01[21:24] <01@Sammael> "I remember your---" *she frowns and heads after Meg and Athena*
[21:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya adjusts, and audible can be heard, barely, in Basic. A female's voice. "~~~~elp."
[21:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron appears on the bridge and glances around as he quickly assess' what is going on.
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> That is Basic.
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr >Way out here?
[21:25] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm going to take a wild guess and say that you can't pinpoint where it's coming from because of all the interference?
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore takes a seat not to be noticed
[21:25] <01Kit> 6Dawn reels at Erevis' ascertation.
[21:26] <01Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Is it possible that Earth has sent ships after us?
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> There's somewhere in the cluster of nebulas, and I can detect a ship now and again, but it seems to appear and vanish - probably something is occassionally blocking our sensors
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> We do have their President
[21:26] <01Kit> <Dawn> Doubt they would find us. Easily. Or we'd be home already.
[21:27] <01Kit> 6Dawn moves over to the navigations to help map and analyze.
[21:27] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Only one way to find out. We'll just go in after them.
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> It's either an Earth ship, or Cartel. I can't tell which
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Is that safe - to risk the entire ship?
[21:27] <01Chad`Winters> <SPoC> And yet there is something here.
[21:28] <01Kit> <Dawn> I'd suggest hiring Cartel's Iceheart.
[21:28] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well it's your decision. 6He notes to Erevis. 1I'm not sure how the nebula would affect us.
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Dawn Allighiori is right - we should take a smaller ship, or one of our shuttles
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* By the time MEgumi would catch up - Athena has escaped via teleporter
[21:29] <01Kit> 6Dawn shifts a bit to eye them. 1"She has experience with various deep-space situations as a Cartel transporter, as well as has a smaller ship-- and if it does turn out ot be Cartel-related it puts us in a more favorable position."
[21:29] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> We should probably inform Iceheart and update her on what's going on, then.
06[21:29] * 01@Sammael stumbles as she catches up to Megumi, flopping. "Q-Quick."
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> After Vivi, do we really want toa sk?
[21:29] <01Kit> <Dawn> Being that she's a business woman, you could also keep it in control from the rest of the Cartel if you make it worth her while-- if that's necessary.
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> She never did give out the remains
[21:30] <01Kit> <Dawn> She isCartel.
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Do you think it wiser to use her ship, or one of our shuttles, Xanaots?
[21:30] <01Kit> <Dawn> I'm sure even they have a line of respect.
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Ah. Aha.
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya focuses on her work, not joining in speculation - so far the only words made out is "help. Low energy."
[21:31] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Honestly, after what's happened, we need to strengthen alliances.
[21:31] <01Chad`Winters> <SPoC> If they are Cartel, odds are high that Iceheart or Loki will find out. It would be best to let them know now
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Then I follow your judgement on the matter.
[21:31] <01Kit> 6Megumi sighs. 1"Yeah..." 6She pants, then moves onto the pad and returns to her home.
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Megumi would see Athena in the yard, working on making a flower dress; Noname holds Isis, watching her
06[21:32] * 01@Sammael pouts and looks around, before returning to 1C.
[21:32] <01Kit> 6Megumi moves over slowly, rubbing behind an ear anxiously.
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods to Xanatos to let him begin the negotiations
[21:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods to SPoC. 1Get a team ready, you'll be leading them. 6He opens lifts up his comm paging Iceheart.
[21:33] <01Kit> 6Dawn blinks. 1"I only meant Iceheart. Loki is... a wild card. He is..." 6He peers to the side. 1"...Od."
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart clicks on, enough to get Odd. "Yes?"
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* She peers at Loki as she talks
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I will get my supplies ready as well
[21:34] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC nods then turns to look at the others. 1"If you would like to join us, please meet in the hanger.
[21:34] <01Chad`Winters> 6Loki looks at Iceheart curiously
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at SPoC. "Volunteers only, right?"
[21:34] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Evening, Iceheart. This is Xanatos. We've recieved a distress call, and there's a chance that it might be Cartel related.
[21:34] <01Kit> 6Dawn facepalms at Xanatos.
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> Suspect one of us managed to get off ship and get distressed?
[21:35] <01Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I believe volunteers will suffice
[21:35] <01Kit> 6Dawn turns, then pauses, eyeing Drasek and Fiore.
[21:35] <01Chad`Winters> 6Loki leans forward now, interest in his eyes
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll stay here, then, unless otherwise needed. 6* Athena works quickly, quite good
[21:35] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> No ma'am. We're wondering if you would like to assist us with your ship.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> And what is this situation like? I'd like data first.
[21:36] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC nods to Zephyr and moves for the teleporter.
[21:36] <01Kit> 6Dawn looks over at Xanatos and facepalms again.
[21:36] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> It's a little strained, I'll have Aya send you what we know. 6He nods to Aya.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis points at dawn. "Refrain from your needless gestures while your commander works."
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns and moves down to 1B.
[21:37] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC pauses to looks at Erevis then Dawn.
[21:37] <01Kit> 6Megumi tilts her head. 1"...You are very deft with your fingers, sweetie."
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Learned from you
[21:37] <01Kit> <Megumi> Really?
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena looks up, smiling, and nodding. "Learned lots from you. Fingers included."
[21:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances to Fiore. 1Want me to go, or stay here with you?
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Noname keeps baby Isis on his shoulder, where she peers out at the world, waving at Erevis when she comes walking down
[21:37] <01Kit> 6Megumi squints slightly, wondering if that was suggestive.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Ah. Aha. Can go. Would be useful
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena looks at Megumi - the complete picture of innocence
[21:38] <01Kit> <Megumi> ...A-Athena, did I teach yo--...
[21:38] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC looks at Fiore, tilting her head slightly.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Yes? 6* Zephyr clears her throat as she walks up from the pad
[21:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek nods. 1I'll be sure to bring you back a gift. 6He says with an amused look.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> <Fiore> Something nice.
[21:38] <01Kit> <Megumi> ..Ah-- nothing." 6She peers over at Zephyr.
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart replies. "Alright, we can use my ship."
[21:39] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC looks at Drasek now, probably making a mental checklist. She moves for the teleporter and hits the hanger, stepping off
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <After how open you guys are, and the various you-know-whats, I wouldn't be shocked at how much she learned from you - maybe from under the bed.>
[21:39] <01Chad`Winters> <Loki> I love field trips.
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> I like field trips I'm in on, at least.
[21:39] <01Kit> 6Freyja pauses as people begin pouring into the hangar. She stands in front of Iceheart's ship, holding a cake pan.
[21:39] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Thank you Iceheart. SPoC will be assisting you on this, I hope everything works out.
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves up, letting Megumi know she is going, then steps into the house
[21:40] <01Kit> <Megumi> <My mother taught me, but being around humans so long, I am not sure that is very proper..>
[21:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek hops to his feet, peering at Theron as he stalks out, then holds out a hand to Fiore. 1Help me find my fightin pants.
[21:40] <01Kit> 6Megumi blinks, peering over at Erevis and hangs her head.
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <I guess you just have to bite the bullet and ask one day. She didn't say you couldn't go, either.>
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore stares down at him. "Knight armor pants?"
[21:40] <01Chad`Winters> 6Loki whistles at a Cartel Member that he's taking off and he moves for hte teleporter
[21:40] <01Kit> <Megumi> <Are you saying that everyone would prefer I do?>
[21:41] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Maybe just somethin without paint on it, then?
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <I'm saying we get the need for you to go out and again, if you behave yourself, don't do fighting, and don't get into labor.>
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart moves for the hanger herself
[21:41] <01Kit> <Megumi> <Which is everything flying into a nebulae risks.>
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore nods, leading Drasek to htir zone
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <I agree - it's why if you go, I go. If you stay, I stay. Hee>
[21:41] <01Kit> 6Fiore opens the lid, offering. 1"Um, hello everyone. Cake?"
[21:42] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves Icehearts ship then shakes her head at Firoe.
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya gathers her stuff, then sends Chad a message she's going
06[21:42] * 01Chad`Winters glances at his datapad, eyeing it then sends one to Xanatos, asking permission to go
[21:43] <01Kit> <Megumi> I will be fine. ...I believe I shall... supervise... Athena.
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Then I will, too
[21:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to his datapad, then replies with a polite, 'Take it up with SPoC. She's mission leader on this.'
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits by Athena, helping making a second dress
06[21:44] * 01@Sammael has resumed her place of sitting upside down on the couch, working on her datapad. She yawns a bit.
06[21:44] * 01Chad`Winters glances at his datapad then sends one to SPoC who eyes it for a moment
[21:45] <01Kit> <Freyja> Iceheartsan... is this a trip?
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart enters the hanger
[21:45] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC responds with a yes since it is volunteers and Chad gets up, moving for his teleporter
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out with supplies.
[21:46] <01Chad`Winters> 6Loki steps in behind her.
[21:46] <01Kit> 6Dawn appears on that, sniper rifle case over his shoulder. Freyja bugs Iceheart about the people entering her ship.
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> We have some rescue mission
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya goes to message Xanatos they might need an engineer on the mission, if the other ship is damaged
06[21:47] * 01Chad`Winters steps off the teleporter and makes his way towards Icehearts ship
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya looks up, then sends a "Nevermind"
[21:47] <01Chad`Winters> <Loki> It'll be a grand time.
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers at his datapad, then back up. 1Huh.
01[21:47] <01@Sammael> * Angela leans back against the wall in her section and yawns, she gets up and goes to look over some more machines.
[21:48] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stops in ICehearts ships hanger and begins to do a head count
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya moves over, adjusting her bag; Erevis steps in, sees Chad there, and immediately does not hide her displeasure
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron appears with his rifle, dressed in his security garb. Drasek eventually appears, wearing a nice outfit.
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* She steps into the ship
06[21:49] * 01@Sammael slumps over, and sits up properly, she looks about and hops up, heading into the kitchen.
[21:50] <01Chad`Winters> Hey Aya. 6He moves up to her.
[21:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron and Drasek both move onto the ship, Drasek whistles a fun tune.
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Dad.
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya moves into the hanger of Iceheart's ship, and Iceheart to the bridge. Aya follows, to synch up their environment
[21:51] <01Kit> 6Freyja quietly sneaks inside, idly trying Iceheart's nifty doorlock.
06[21:51] * 01Chad`Winters rubs the back of his neck as he follows behind her
[21:51] <01Kit> 6Dawn enters and peers at Aya and Chad curiously.
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya kneels down to hook up information, while Erevis takes a seat, not having used her datapad any
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart powers up her ship, then contacts Ao and Xanatos, if they're on the bridge. "We're ready here."
02[21:53] * Ariel (Enjeryuu@blk-89-239-1.eastlink.ca) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[21:53] <01Chad`Winters> 6Loki takes his mighty chair.
[21:53] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos brings to them a final stop, a bit from the area and hits the comm. 1We're stopped and ready for you to launch. Take care out there and get back to us safely.
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart moves them out
[21:54] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I sorta miss my flying job. 6He notes to Ao.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* The camera will remain with Iceheart for now
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya takes a seat at scanners, bringing up her data, and tying it back to CHIP for Xan
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I believe the message is on a loop, considering the intervals of words we make out
06[21:56] * 01Chad`Winters peers out the view port then shifts to watch the scanners at Aya's terminal.
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* A map appears, glitching from the nebula glasses, never even showing full space around them outside windows
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> It looks like at this speed, it'll take 45 mins to get near them. I suggest everyone relax
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I'll keep working to clear up this data
[21:57] <01Chad`Winters> Do the gasses seem stable?
[21:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek gives a thumbs up. 1I'm good at relaxin, luv.
[21:58] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron stands stoically in the hanger.
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> My scanners seem to indicate they're typical
[21:58] <01Kit> <Freyja> Does anyone want coffee or tea?"6She says cheerfully from the back of the main cabin.
[21:58] <01Chad`Winters> <Loki> Bourbon. 6He raises a finger
[21:58] <01Kit> 6Freyja jerks, making a face upon seeing Loki.
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises, moving off to get a room for now
06[21:59] * 01Chad`Winters scratches the side of his face. 1"I wonder how they got stuck in there in the first place."
[21:59] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Second that. 6He notes about the bourbon.
[22:00] <01Chad`Winters> <Loki> A man cut from the same threads.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> Adjusting for the gravitional forces in the region
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart shifts the controls a bit
[22:02] <01Kit> <Freyja> There's no bourbon!" 6She says frustratedly.
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya eyes her data, pretty much in complete scientific heaven
[22:02] <01Chad`Winters> <Loki> Lies. 6He taps his chair and a bottle slides up and he pours two glasses, holding one out for Drasek
[22:02] <01Kit> 6Dawn shifts to eye over Aya's shoulder.
[22:02] <01Kit> 6Freyja blinks, then looks absolutely livid when he says 'lies.' She storms off.
06[22:02] * 01Chad`Winters stands on the otherside, his eyes already cofused on it
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart watches her go, and gets a look Loki would know well - that she might ending things soon
[22:03] <01Chad`Winters> 6Loki give Iceheart the, need him to take out the trash look.
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart stares at him once, colder than any look he's ever gotten from her before, then goes back to flying. Now it seems Loki shares in the same look Freyja has
[22:05] <01Chad`Winters> 6Loki shivers slightly then warms himself up with a drink from his bourban
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers as Freyja storms by her room
03[22:05] * Ariel (Enjeryuu@blk-89-239-1.eastlink.ca) has joined #taw
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> Location: CHIP
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> Time: 35 mins later
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* As Iceheart's ship gets further away, their transmissions grow weaker
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao looks agitated for whatever reason
[22:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos rubs his face, then glances to Ao. 1You okay?
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> This is taking too long.
[22:08] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Heh. You're going to need to learn some patience. Things take time. I'm more worried that we're losing communications.
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Oh, so you're not impatient that everyone out there could be in trouble and we can't help them now?
[22:09] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> OH yeah. I'm worried to death, but we have to have faith that they'll come back.
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* As Xan speaks, the distress signal begins to get more clear, despite the fact Iceheart's ship's signal is now almost pure static.
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> <Female Voice> ~~~call. If anyo~~~ on ~~IP can hear me, plea~ ~pond
[22:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and arches a brow. 1Wait. That's not right.
[22:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos clicks his comm to try and repond. 1Hello. Can you read me?
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* There appears to be no response - after a pause, the voice loops again. "If anyone on CHIP can hear me, please respond. This is Iceheart."
[22:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and makes a face. 1Oh fuck.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Wait ,they're in trouble, too?
[22:12] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> No, just wait a second, it's looping. It's THEM that we detected.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> How could we detect them BEFORE we sent them out?
[22:13] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I have no idea. Who's left on the ship?
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Everyone who didn't go? Maybe we should ask Megumi - she's a computer dweeb, right?
[22:14] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> If we have too. 6He tries to respond to the loop to see if there's any response.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* There seems to be no response yet, but it could be soem interference that needs clearing up still
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Well, we could call Eve, too, I guess
[22:15] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yeah. 6He pages Eve and Megumi, asking them to come to the bridge.
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers over at the comm from Meg
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Can we use our comms to try to contact the others via their comm links? Some of them should have CHIP made ones
[22:16] <01@Xanatos> Erevis does. 6He sits up, trying to comm her. 1Hey Erevis, are you there?
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* When Xanatos does so, the loop message momentarily distorts, and Xanatos can hear a high pitched man voice
[22:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and glances to Ao. 1Did you hear that too, or am I going crazy?
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I heard it, but couldn't make it out
[22:17] <01Kit> 6Megumi steps onto the bridge. 1"...What is going on that you need Eve and myself..?"
[22:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos clicks open the comm to Erevis, listening to try and make it out.
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve enters the bridge a moment later
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* There's just a high pitched static sound via the loop distress signal
[22:18] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> One moment. 6He says to Megumi, closing the comm, frowning. 1We recieved a distress call and sent a team with Icehear to go find it, now the call clears up and it sounds like this. 6He holds his hand out to the looping Iceheart.
[22:18] <01Kit> 6Megumi frowns, listening for herself.
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> You have a distress call from Iceheart, then sent Iceheart...out
[22:19] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I know, right? I'm clearly too stupid to coprehend this, so that's why I wanted some smart folks up here.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Are you saying I'm too stupid to comprehend this, too?
[22:19] <01Kit> 6Megumi moves over to where Aya usually sits and brings up her terminal to view anything she might have saved after analyzing.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* A moment passes, then a high pitched voice can be heard. "Tos? "
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Naked pictures of Dawn.
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> NRP: A joke
[22:20] <01Kit> 6Megumi peers over at the sound. 1"Tos?"
[22:20] <01Kit> <Megumi> Hm. Xanatos.
[22:20] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> No m'am. But more brains are better, right? 6He Pauses and arches a brow. 1I'm a tos.
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> You're a what?
[22:20] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Wait do you think that's Erevis responding?
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* The data is still live feeding from Aya - they appear to be near the other ship's distress source
[22:20] <01Kit> <Megumi> Erevis responding to what?
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* IT just appears to be coming ni out of order, claiming things improbable - like they're here, then back, then there
[22:21] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I commed her to see if it worked.
[22:21] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I don't know much about nubulae, but is there a chance there might be some weird time loop going on?
[22:21] <01Kit> <Megumi> We still have a feed from them. ...You know this is a nebulae field, right? Heavy electromagnetic interference. Almost all electronics become worthless in close proximity with high density patterns...
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I don't see how, unless the Legacy made something out here
[22:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face. 1If it's somethign Legacy, they're in trouble.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> Can we call them back, then, if the other ship out there is them?
[22:23] <01Kit> <Megumi> Yet the way this is being parsed, I would almost stoop to say they were in a heavy gravitic labyrinth like the one we witnessed before. This is almost evidence of space-time being warped-- but that is a heavy gravity or massive celestial body exerting force on it, something nebulae normally are not in the same league to do.
[22:24] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'll try, but Megumi is right, they might not get my orders. 6He tries to comm Erevis, telling her to return to the ship.
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> Location: Ship of Ice
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they all continue, Iceheart focused on flying, a computer beeps, indicating a transmission came in to someone's comm - apparantly Iceheart has her ears ope
[22:25] <01Chad`Winters> 6Loki peers over at the computer then, Iceheart.
[22:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek drinks bourbon happily.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart eyes the signal's origin, even as Erevis steps in. "I just received a message from Xanatos Durran. It stated if I am here.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> ... according to this, the source came from where the distress signal is originating
[22:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances up. 1Wait. Xanatos is on that ship out there?
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not see how
06[22:26] * 01Chad`Winters peers back at Iceheart. 1"That's strange.
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> My sensors are beoming more irratic as we get closer - the nubulea might be interfering
[22:27] <01Chad`Winters> Is it possible we're getting closer to the center of it?
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* A moment later, then breathing is heard through the comm - kinda creepy like
[22:27] <01Kit> 6Dawn pauses, then opens up one of his datapads, sending a mail to Aya, marked with a timestamp.
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* After hearing "One Moment"
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Then it goes dead
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya doesn't seem to react to any noises from her datapad getitng anything
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* After a moment, Xanatos speaks again. "Please return to the ship, Erevis." 6* The origin is still from ahead, not where they came from
06[22:29] * 01Chad`Winters eyes the readings on Aya's terminal.
[22:29] <01Kit> <Dawn> Something's wrong.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> I think we figured that much out.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart brings them to a stop for now
[22:30] <01Chad`Winters> Can you bring up a visual of the ship yet, Iceheart?
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> No
[22:31] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> So what should we do, then?
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps we should return.
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at her datapad for some info, perhaps to see if she's synched with the other ship, but pauses. "I meant to ask ,Dawn, hello world what?"
06[22:32] * 01Chad`Winters glances down at Aya now
[22:32] <01Kit> <Dawn> Hm?" 6He eyes her.
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Your message from earlier. I was too busy to rpely.
[22:33] <01Kit> 6Dawn facepalms.
[22:33] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Could just go ahead and see what we're dealing with?
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> I guess so. <Erevis> Xanatos, can you give us more details?
[22:33] <01Chad`Winters> But why are his comms going to the other ship.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I have no idea.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Signals being mixed up in these type of spaces is normal, but that should be impossible
[22:34] <01Kit> <Dawn> Ah.
06[22:35] * 01Chad`Winters rubs the side of his head. 1"Agreed, unless somehow it's become a stronger beacon then us.
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya shows Dawn the message he sent - she got it 30 mins ago
[22:36] <01Kit> <Dawn> Ah!
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> Location: CHIP SHIP
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* A high pitched respons comes through that sounds like a chipmonk
[22:36] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Do you think they got that and that was Erevis saying alright?
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Or they hear the same sound we do, and are clueless.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve moves over, pondering, adjusting communications
[22:37] <01Kit> <Megumi> Compression?
[22:37] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm trying to be optimistic.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> It sounds as if they're words are beign compressed ,es.
[22:37] <01Kit> <Megumi> ...Not good. It is sounding more and more like a heavy gravity anomaly.
[22:38] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> What do you think we should do?
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> So there might not be a ship out there, just chasing a phantom one.
[22:38] <01Kit> <Megumi> I am not sure.
[22:38] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> What are the odds they do get damaged, then?
[22:38] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> It may have already happened.
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> So much for optimism
[22:39] <01Kit> 6Megumi sighs. 1"Even by that theory, this is odd behaviour. A heavy gravity anomaly from a single source such as a tremendous mass or a black hole would draw everything to one point-- and that includes the nebulae. So technically this arrangement is impossible from a single point. I cannot think of, offhand, another situation that would create this arrangement."
[22:39] <01Kit> <Megumi> I am thinking. I am sorry.
[22:40] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> We're good for creating unique situations. 6He rubs his chin slowly. 1How likely are we to get damaged if we went after them?
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve plays something, and a more Erevis voice can be heard. "Xanatos,canyougiveusmoredetails?"
[22:40] <01Kit> <Megumi> Damn, it is compression.
[22:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and peers at Eve. 1So wait, does that mean they understood what I said?
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> Likely, soon they'll get the same transmission errors
[22:41] <01Kit> <Megumi> Um... what I think could create this is a fold.
[22:41] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> So I should tell them to come back to the ship immediately?
[22:42] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'll take your silence as a yes?
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> I'm thinking
[22:42] <01Kit> <Megumi> Actually I do not think that would be wise. It... is complicated." 6She looks around, grabbing a report paper, and folds it back on itself as a model of sorts. 1"Within the fold things would compress at a rapid rate, but as it passes out of the crease it would rapidly expand."
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> There could be a risk calling them back is what caused this loop. Or if we do nothing, it could cause it
[22:43] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Argh I hate this stuff. 6He rubs his face.
[22:43] <01Kit> <Megumi> It would explain the delay in communications and the compression of the sound waves-- but then us actually receiving them. If it were a hole, we would never receive the response since it would be drawn away from us.
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> ...
[22:43] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> So the plan is to do nothing, and hope?
[22:43] <01Kit> <Megumi> If we asked them to turn around, however, they could very well turn back in on themselves at the compression point where decompression has not yet occurred.
[22:44] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> ...so I tell her to keep going, then?
[22:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao stares at Xan to see if he got it
[22:44] <01Kit> 6Megumi frowns. 1"I do not like it either, Ao, I could be wrong, after all. I do not comprehend what could cause a fold, if it is indeed."
[22:44] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> How about we shoot the nebula?
[22:44] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> What would that even do?
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Make me feel better.
[22:45] <01Kit> <Megumi> The specific placement of energy distribution and heavy gravity found in a natural setting are astronomically improbable.
[22:45] <01Kit> <Megumi> That is a bad idea, Aonee.
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> IF we do send a message, we might want to send it a various speeds, to make sure they hear us
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Ao twitches. "Whatever, nerd."
[22:46] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Good idea, Eve.
[22:46] <01Kit> 6Megumi grabs her 'fold' and squeezes it at the center like a napkin within a ring. 1"This is another possible effect. Regardless of where you fire, it might be pushed into a space smaller than the original and they could be struck by it."
[22:46] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> You transmit it for me, I'll tell them to coniue on and report anything over Erevis' comm.
[22:46] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I like how the geniuses basic idea is to do nothing, in the event something, or nothing, fixes this
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve nods, signaling to Xanatos she's ready
[22:47] <01Kit> <Megumi> Then fire the weapons.
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao looks like she might, just because Megumi said it. She reaches for the button
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> No. Don't. 6He clicks his comm. 1Erevis, we're experiencing some weird transmissions, continue on, but be careful and send us reports over your comm.
[22:48] <01Kit> 6Megumi doesn't even flinch. 1"I am prepared for the consequences of my decisions."
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Oh, I'm sure you, you bratty little bitch.
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> *you are
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> If you two don't knock it off I'm kicking you off the bridge.
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes Xanatos, then rises, moving to the pad. "Fine, run the bridge." 6* She hits the button and goes
[22:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve watches her go, then peers back at the console, focused on it
[22:49] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Goddmanit. 6He rubs the bridge of his nose.
[22:49] <01@Xanatos> NRP: goddamnit*
[22:50] <01Kit> 6Megumi tilts her head somewhat. 1"You are capable of doing it, are you not, Durran..? I will take care of our position for once in the meantime."
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> I'll let you know if I detect any transmissions.
[22:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and closes the comm. 1Here. 6He gets out of the pilot's seat.
[22:50] <01Kit> 6Megumi eyes the floor, but moves over to sit down.
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> Location: Ice Ship
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Moments pass, and so far nothing from the others - their space in the nebula is held, Iceheart neither going forward or back
[22:52] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> He is not responding. Should we worry>
[22:52] <01Kit> <Dawn> I sent the message two minutes ago, Ayahime.
[22:52] <01Chad`Winters> It's possible we've lost all communication now.
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* As Erevis says this, in slow motion, "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeereeeeeeeeeeeviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis-is-is-is-is, we areeeeeeeeee expppeerreeeeeeeiiiiieeeeeencing
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Comes over the comm
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> The hell
[22:53] <01Kit> 6Dawn motions. 1"Look at the timestamp.."
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya glances down, frowns a bit, then eyes Erevis' comm
[22:53] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek snorts. 1Bloke sounds funny.
06[22:53] * 01Chad`Winters peers over at the comm. 1"Why did it suddenly slow?"
[22:53] <01Kit> <Dawn> Expansion.
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* This continues the entire message, a pause, then a normal one comes through, then a chipmunk one comes through
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> That is disturbing to listen to
[22:54] <01Chad`Winters> Three messages, different speeds. Very few reasons to do that unless they're trying to compensate for something
[22:54] <01Kit> <Dawn> Time differences.
[22:55] <01Kit> 6Dawn rubs his head. 1"...Out of league."
[22:55] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody hilarious if you ask me.
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> He wants us to keep going. Vote?
[22:55] <01Kit> <Dawn> Only good with. Numbers.
06[22:55] * 01Chad`Winters rubs his temple as he eyes the data readings. 1"Can we trust anythign we're seeing here?"
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I don't know, to be honest. It could be nothing out here but time warping in on itself
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I trust Xanatos Durran - typically.
[22:56] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Cept when he sounds like a git, eh?
[22:56] <01Chad`Winters> It'd explain a lot. We could try going forward slowly.
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Or when he makes questionable actions. But I see no reason not to listen to his advice, despite the lack of information
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> Makes you wonder why he isn't giving us more information - suspicious, isn't it?
[22:57] <01Chad`Winters> It's Durran, it probably didn't occur to him at the time.
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> Well. I see no reason not to move forward unless anyone else has anything to add
[22:58] <01Chad`Winters> We could try sending a message back to him in hopes he can send us some data to make sure going forward is the right thing
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart moves them ahead. "Wouldn't hurt."
[22:58] <01Kit> <Dawn> Wouldn't it take some kind of event to ...affect time, Ayahime?
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I don't know, Dawn.
[22:59] <01Chad`Winters> Aya, can you send them a message back requesting data, but send it in different speeds?
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> My synch with them isn't working properly.
[22:59] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> He did say to use Erevis' comm. 6He points out.
04[23:00] [Kit PING] 1246590068
[23:00] <01Chad`Winters> Comm them back then, tell them what we want.
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I shall request as much information as I can, then. 6* She clicks a button when suddenly---
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> Location: CHIP Is RIP
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Almost immediately, with no weight, Erevis' chipmunk voice comes through, followed by a BOOM sound
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Then silence
[23:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos jerks, glancing to Eve. 1What happened!?
[23:01] <01Kit> 6Megumi jerks, not having anything ot basis it, but yeah, booms after hearing voices of loved ones never puts one at ease
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> I don't know. 6 *She tries to replay the message slower
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> I am detecting energy particles---behind us
[23:03] <01Kit> 6Megumi adjusts the viewscreen to a rear panel
[23:03] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Behind us? Are we being attacked? Raise the shields.
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Behind them, Iceheart's ship can be seen, havnig clipped part of CHIP
[23:03] <01Kit> <Megumi> What the?
[23:03] <01Kit> <Megumi> Do not raise the shields!!
[23:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos widens his eyes. 1CHIP can you pull them into the ship?
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> One moment
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Time distortion fields are momentarily detected from inside the nebula
[23:05] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Makes a face. 1Eve can you detect lifesigns on the ship?
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* CHIP uses energy to get Erevis' ship into the hanger. Erevis speaks again. <Erevis> Hello, Xanatos. We ran into you it seems
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> Yes.
[23:05] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> ... 6He lets out a puff of air. 1What was that distortion Megumi?
[23:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos lifts up the comm. 1Are you all safe?
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis on Comm> Yes.
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> We should probably get away from the area just to be safe
[23:06] <01Kit> <Megumi> ...Something is bothering me." 6She refrains from answering immediately. 1"Beloved, Iceheart is there, right?"
[23:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos arches a brow at that question.
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis on Comm> We are all here
[23:07] <01Kit> <Megumi> Did you ever send out a distress call?
[23:07] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart on comm> My ship is set up to send an automatic one if we collide with something
[23:07] <01Kit> <Megumi> That explains it.
[23:07] <01Kit> 6Megumi peers upward. 1"Temporal echo."
[23:08] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yeah. It seems the distress call we recieved was you. Megumi get us away from this thing.
[23:08] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart on comm> Temporal what?
[23:08] <01Kit> <Megumi> Put simply we have encountered a point in space where time-space folds back on itself. We received your ship's distress call when it grazed against CHIP-- and sent you to investigate it before it happened."
[23:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the hanger of the PRog Ship, the camera now in both locations
[23:09] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well. Get us back from it and we'll continue on. 6He sends Ao a message, letting her know they're ok.
06[23:10] * 01Chad`Winters steps off Ice's ship and into the hanger
[23:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek steps off the ship. 1Well that wasn't as fun as I thought it'd be.
[23:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya works on plugging her data still
[23:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore waits in the hanger with some beer
[23:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart adjusts her captain's chair as people go
[23:10] <01Chad`Winters> 6Loki puts an arm around Drasek. 1"But you had some of my finest Bourbon.
[23:10] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC steps ino the hanger and moves for the teleporter
[23:10] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Wasn't bad mate. But beer's better. 6He notes as he gives Fiore a smile.
[23:11] <01Kit> <Megumi> They arrived behind us-- we are partially submerged already, however... CHIP, can you send out a communication's signal in sixty-four directions in a compass formation and map any reflected signal? That should give us any idea if there is an obstruction causing the fold around us before we hyperspace into it.
[23:11] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> We're not partially submerged, I didn't move into it.
[23:11] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> I will obey the baby's carrier
[23:11] <01Kit> <Megumi> I am saying we were already starting to be before we stopped. Again, they arrived behind us.
[23:12] <01Kit> 6Dawn peers at Aya slowly. 1"...Find something?"
[23:12] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yeah that makes sense.
[23:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya shakes her head . "I just plan to take my data and go over it later. It's really interesting."
[23:12] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC hits Security and steps off, moving to fill out her report
[23:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron steps off the ship and moves for the teleporter.
[23:12] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> ... I detected another ship out there briefly, but lost it before I could detect anything further. I suggest we fly backwards at these degrees (Degrees) and jump
[23:12] <01Chad`Winters> <Loki> Beer is alright...if you want to live a palettless life.
[23:13] <01Kit> <Megumi> I approve.
[23:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya gathers her stuff, then exits the bridge, heading for the hanger. Iceheart just sits down in her chair
[23:13] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Palette's are overrated anyway, mate.
[23:14] <01Kit> 6Dawn follows Aya out, still carrying the useless rifle case, but a useless rifle is a good one.
06[23:14] * 01Chad`Winters turns to watch his daughter step into the main hanger. 1"You get everything you wanted?"
[23:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis hmms once. "I see. Good work." 6* She tells Megumi and Xan, then clicks off, heading for 1B
[23:15] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Yes. I'm going up to the bridge to go over the data some more
[23:15] <01Kit> 6Freyja peers around the corner of the ship's hall, then sneaks over quietly, peering at Iceheart.
[23:15] <01Chad`Winters> <Loki> Stop down at the casino and I'll show you how underrated pallette really is
[23:15] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> Freyja. I think tonight it be best if you stayed at your place. 6* She states finally to Freyja
[23:15] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well, I can't leave the bridge till someone shows up to take over. 6He ho hums, getting a bored look now.
06[23:15] * 01Chad`Winters nods to Aya. 1"Coming over for supper tonight?"
[23:15] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I might be busy tonight, actually.
[23:16] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> We might do that sometime. 6He nods to Loki and moves over towards Fiore.
[23:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore hands him the beer, then leads him away
[23:16] <01Kit> "Alright." 6Freyja sounds down about it. 1"I was getting that sort of feeling... I'm sorry I got so angry, though. I'm not sure why being called a liar bothered me so much, especially now that I've had time to think about it. I doubt he even intended it that way."
06[23:16] * 01Chad`Winters glances at Dawn briefly then nods to Aya. 1"Alright, I'll talk to you later then, princess."
[23:17] <01Kit> 6Dawn blinks, peering between the two.
[23:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya gives Chad a smile, then practically hugs her equipment to the bridge to begin work
06[23:18] * 01Chad`Winters smiles slightly and moves for the teleporter now
[23:18] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> I'll be making sure Loki stays some more time at his casino as well. 6* She notes, probably to indicate her stance o nthe matter
[23:18] <01Kit> 6Dawn tilts his head, then sighs and heads back to the cosplay hall.
[23:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart picks up her datapad, going to do ship maintainence now, rising and beginning her rounds like treating an old friend
[23:19] <01Kit> <Freyja> You feel very stressed today. If you wouldn't mind talking about it, I'll be in the garden." 6She says quietly, then bows pollitely like she used to before turning to patter quietly out.
[23:19] <01Chad`Winters> 6Loki let's out a huff and moves for hte teleporter, and heading to the casino
[23:19] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Thanks for you help Eve. It was appreciated. 6He gives her a nod.
06[23:19] * 01Chad`Winters steps off in his zone and moves for his porch
[23:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve nods, then moves to pad. Erevis files a report on what she feels about a certain aspect of the mission, has it be sent on delay to Xanatos, so he can have time to wind down, then enters her own zone, peering at Athena working on dresses still, Zephyr watching and leraning
[23:20] <01Kit> <Freyja> Loki!" 6She calls from the ship as she walks down the ramp.
06[23:21] * 01@Sammael looks up at dinner cooking from her datapad, heading over to check up on it. She sends Xan a message. [I'm cooking dinner, will you be by or should I bring it to Security?]
[23:21] <01Chad`Winters> 6Loki stops from hitting the Casino floor button and he turns to look at Freyja
[23:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos arches a brow and responds, [I'll be by.]
[23:22] <01Kit> <Freyja> Bourbon, you said?" 6She waits until she's closer to continue speaking. 1"...It's an old spirit with a classic mixture of grains. I'm sure you have plenty, but being a connosieur and businessman you'd always want to see if you could achieve a certain quality right?"
[23:23] <01Chad`Winters> 6Loki just eyes her now. 1"I'm staying out of this."
[23:23] <01Kit> 6Freyja tilts her head. 1"...Eh?"
06[23:23] * 01@Sammael smiles and puts the cover back over on the pot and adjusts the timer, she steps out to the living room and looks around a moment. She smiles to herself and grabs a data disc, popping it into her datapad and going over something as she wanders back into the kitchen.
[23:24] <01Kit> <Freyja> I don't really know what you mean. The ingredients, of its pretty hardy, and by now we can probably grow most of the conventional methods. I'm sure if you funded it, there wouldn't be any stir about using part of it for them to distill your own. Corn, rye and barley are easy.
[23:24] <01Chad`Winters> 6Loki just winks at her. 1"I've got business to attend to, running a casino is hard work."
[23:25] <01Kit> <Freyja> I'm in charge of the garden anyway. That's why I said fund. It'd keep people happy if it's not favoritism.
[23:25] <01Kit> 6Freyja gives him a deadpan look. 1"To 'fund' it, just send some of the poor Famfrit you've been brainwashing into schemes down to help. That'd suffice-- and serve your purpose."
[23:25] <01Chad`Winters> Fund? So I have to pay for stuff now?
[23:25] <01Chad`Winters> NRP: Loki
[23:26] <01Chad`Winters> <Loki> And I don't brain wash anyone. 6He eyes his nails now.
[23:27] <01Kit> 6Freyja moves around him, reaching for the destinations. 1"It's only an offer. You can profit or not, it's still your headache teaching them to distill it." 6She actually hits Billy's level.
[23:27] <01Chad`Winters> 6Loki hits the casino zone.
