[20:01] <01@DeathStar> -0-
[20:01] <01@DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.8.31 - Many, Many Hours Later, Pushing Toward Evening-
[20:01] <01@DeathStar> Location: CHIP
04[20:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* So far, there has been no reports or sightings of Billy, making her location even more puzzling, especially if she is gunning for Angela, who remains in a cell across from Chad Winters. So far Erevis and Katrina remain in critical condition, with Zephyr still recovering, albeit slowly for some reason, though her life no longer remains in danger.
[20:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus stands over Marcus, preparing to wake him up. He gives him a slight shot to the arm.
[20:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek rubs his hands together, looking worried still.
[20:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus makes a sounds after a second, slowly opening his eyes.
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis sits nearby, looking tired and worried. Athena peers at Marcus, waiting
06[20:04] * 01Chad`Winters lays in his cell, his hands resting behind his head and his eyes closed.
[20:04] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC sits in security, still working on finding Billy
[20:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos stands there with his arms crossed, having exhausted his options for now.
[20:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron also looks with SPoC, on duty now it would seem.
[20:05] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> It seems he's alive.
[20:05] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Wh...what hap..happened? 6He reaches up for his head, making a face.
[20:05] <01Kit> 6Megumi lounges, her eyes closed at this point and looking quite asleep other than being eerily still, holding little Isis still.
01[20:06] <01@Angela> * Sammael sits in medbay still, resting her head in her hand, remaining near the others that wait.
[20:06] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> You were nearly blown up.
06[20:06] * 01@Angela sits with her eyes closed, her book open on her lap as she breathes slowly, either asleep or very deep in thought.
[20:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus' eyes twitch slightly and he jerks to sit up, pausing to make a pained face. 1....Kat?
[20:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus shifts, using his cane again apparantly, having gotten it at some point during the day.
[20:07] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> She's alive.
[20:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a sigh of relief, slowly peering around at those gathered around.
[20:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus taps his cane once. "Fan club." 6* He waits to see if Marcus wants them gone
[20:08] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> N..no it's...nice. 6He manages, then pauses. 1Billy?
[20:09] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> You'd have to talk to Xanatos about her. He's trying to capture her right now
[20:09] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Capture? Why what's going on?
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus peers at a datapad of readings. "Apparantly some Dark One blood oath about getting whoever did this to you and Katrina. You're fine to get up. I need to go check on your wife." 6* He steps out and moves off.
[20:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus makes a face and sits up, he lets out a breath. 1Damnit, I need to find her.
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Feeling okay? 6* She asks Marcus
[20:11] <01Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Durran. It is most likely that she is currently residing in a zone that we cannot monitor. I believe our safest course of action would be to lock the zones down.
[20:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods to Athena. 1Yeah. Yeah I'm okay. How bad is she? 6He slowly moves to get himself to his feet.
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Do not know.
[20:13] <01Kit> 6Freyja knocks on Marcus' door and peers in slowly.
[20:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances at his comm and hmms then shakes his head. 1No, she can shadowport. It would do little to stop her.
[20:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus frowns slightly and then glances up to Freyja. 1Hey foxy lady. 6He manages, clearly trying to be funny.
[20:13] <01Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I was under the belief that she could only teleport within zones.
[20:14] <01Kit> <Freyja> I cannot find nor sense Billy anywhere... and I can't heal Katrina without a 'medical release consent form.' I don't know what to do." 6She hangs her head.
06[20:14] * 01@Angela sits up, rubbing her head and grumbling a bit, she yawns and looks out of the cell.
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out of the side room he's been in all day finally, unplugging the datapad and moving for the teleport pad.
[20:14] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC peers over at Darien now.
[20:15] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos on Comm> No that's an assumption you shouldn't be making. She could do anything as far as I'm concerned.
[20:15] <01Chad`Winters> <SPoCComm> Very well.
[20:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, thinking, then taps the medical bay number appearing in it
[20:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus shakes his head slightly. 1If Cad needs your help you can give it. Until then, just be here for her, that's all she would want. 6He moves towards the door.
[20:16] <01Kit> 6Megumi sneezes suddenly when Darien arrives, then rubs her nose and goes back to being deathly still, eyes still closed.
[20:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers towards Darien when he appears.
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Noname peers at Darien, then Megumi, then Darien. He looks like he suspects Darien now
01[20:16] <01@Angela> * Sammael looks up, giving Darien a smile. "Hello."
[20:17] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I hope you've got some good news. 6He tells Darien.
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien moves forward with the datapad, peering at everyone gathered, just nodding to Sam. "How are htey?"
[20:17] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Alive, mate.
[20:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus gives Freyja a reassuring smile as he steps past her, out into the crowd with everyone else.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at Marcus, studying his condition, apparantly surprised, probably not knowing about Katrina and Marcus
[20:18] <01Kit> 6Freyja moves aside for Marcus, but stays with him for the moment
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena follows Marcus out, letting Isis sleep
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I might have something. Give me a few minutes. 6* He hits buttons on the datapad, motioning for them to do whatever it is they were doing before he came
[20:20] <01Kit> 6Freyja moves over to the ER doors and spies in the windows.
04[20:20] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Just who is Billy hunting Durran? 6Xanatos pauses and glances towards Marcus. 1<Xanatos> Angela. She was the only other person there. 6* Marcus makes a face and snorts. 1<Marcus> YOU were there too Durran. <Xanatos> Yeah. I was. <Marcus> Well then why isn't she hunting you? 6* Xanatos arches a brow, looking surprised.
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena tilts her head
[20:21] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Just what are you saying? You think I did this?
04[20:21] <01Kit> <Freyja> He's saying there's no reason you're any less guilty than Angela. Or rather, there's no reason she's any guiltier than you.
[20:22] <01Kit> 6Freyja pauses, stepping down from her toes and peers back. 1"...It's sound reasoning."
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena tilts her head. "Xanatos good."
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alexander steps into the security, holding a datapad, pausing at the field. "Is Chad Winters allowed visitors?"
[20:22] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> He's got all the power, a person can spit without him knowing about it. And he's an ability leech just like her. WHY doesn't anyone ever question his motives?
[20:23] <01Kit> 6Dawn eyes Alexander and shrugs, comming Xanatos.
[20:23] <01Kit> <Megumi> Because I never hear him lying to me.
[20:23] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC studies Alexander the nods. 1"Yes, you may see him."
[20:23] <01Kit> 6Megumi opens one eye. 1"Just like I do not now."
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Noname crosses his arms. "He was that Legion creature."
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> <Noname> Can you be so sure?
[20:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos crosses his arms, watching Marcus with a stone face.
[20:23] <01Kit> <Megumi> And he is not now.
01[20:23] <01@Angela> Sammael> "...Xanatos wouldn't..."
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> <Noname> Again, can you be so sure?
04[20:24] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus. Exactly. And he's fucked people over way too many times in the past to just shrug it off. Infact he's about as wishy washy as Angela.
[20:24] <01Kit> <Megumi> No more sure than I am sure I have my own mind intact. I was a creature once, too.
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> <Noname> I am merely saying - he runs security, we have video holes, his command code was used I heard.
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> <Noname> Erevis lets him into your zone
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien stays out of it, wisely moving to the corner
[20:25] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> You had a bad history with Chad at one point, and you hold a pretty mean grudge Durran, it would be easy to put the blame on him with all this Vivi nonsense that's been going on.
[20:25] <01Kit> <Megumi> Is it not wonderful? Planted evidence working so beautifully. A well-woven tapestry of lies and deception. Let us take this time to point the finger amongst one another rather than reading the stitch to the seam.
04[20:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alexander nods once, moving forward to head to the cells. He eyes Angela in the cell, purposely taking an extra step around her barrier
[20:25] <01Kit> <Megumi> If he has reason to hold a grudge, then I would have been the first target, if you are conceiting a motive. Try again, master chef.
[20:26] <01Kit> 6Megumi closes her eye again, yawning slightly, then goes back to being still.
06[20:26] * 01@Angela eyes him quietly, before looking back down at her book.
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> <Noname> Why would you be the first target? Zephyr would be mine if I wanted to hurt you
[20:26] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> When you hurt a person, you break the people around them. 6He nods to Noname.
[20:26] <01Kit> <Megumi> That is a rational thought, yes. But I would not fit Durran into a rational crime. Only one of passion.
[20:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos jaw clenches and he shakes his head. 1I'm not the bad guy here. I'm the one trying to stop all this. Making accusations like this isn't going to get us anywhere, Jones.
06[20:27] * 01Chad`Winters opens his eyes now as he hears foot steps and he looks over at Alexander stepping up. 1"Alex."
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> <Alexander> Chad. Eve told me about what happened.
[20:27] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Look. All i'm saying is that you were Legion once. 6he points. 1What's to say there's not a fragment of him left inside you?! Huh? Just like Id for Chad.
[20:27] <01Kit> <Dawn> Durran. Cran visiting Winters." 6He clicks the comm once to signify that's all and disconnects.
01[20:27] <01@Angela> Sammael> "Has anyone iven thought to the idea that this is exactly what the attacker wants?"
[20:27] <01Kit> <Megumi> Enough. Do you wish me to examine Durran?" 6She opens her eyes and peers at Marcus.
[20:28] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> If would definitely put my mind at ease. 6he says with a shrug once.
[20:28] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek just sits back to eye this all, watching Xanatos carefully now since his stance is tense, like he might do something.
[20:28] <01Chad`Winters> Great way to start a morning.
[20:28] <01Kit> <Megumi> I believe I was suggesting Sammael's ingenious conclusion a moment ago. So I will lay this all to rest if necessary. Just come here, Xanatos. I cannot move much, I find, as Zephyr is focusing on herself.
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien speaks up. "As entertaining as it may be to consider we have little pieces of evil, but it's likely unneccessary."
01[20:29] <01@Angela> * Sammael looks over at Darien.
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus and Drasek both look to Darien now.
[20:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien hooks up his datapad to a monitor, bringing up monitor feed from 1B. "Unless Xanatos has a power that controls people like puppets, that is. I confess I don't know."
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos meanwhile just eyes the ground, he bring his hand up to rub his face, looking bothered.
[20:30] <01Kit> <Megumi> Clues may be a psion and relation to dragoons. My guess is still of that relation-- my unfortunate suspect is despicable William Spade. Yet since I have nothing conclusive, what good would it do me to blame people? Hrmph." 6She goes back to the still 'sleep.'
04[20:30] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> He's a power leech, he was around when Angela got her power how do we know he doesn't?
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes. Anyway, I find it unlikely you were taken over by another consciousness in your own mind. Id is gone, and you show no sign of having any ties to Vivi anymore. Reality being what you make it and all."
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Because of who the puppet is.
[20:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus tilts his head.
01[20:31] <01@Angela> * Sammael arches a brow. "Who is this puppet?"
[20:31] <01Kit> <Freyja> I'm not following..
[20:31] <01Chad`Winters> Agreed. 6He shifts to sit up now, his hands cupping together infront of him. 1"Doesn't leave much left as options then.
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I almost missed this, because of the camera angle - they knew where they were laid out really well. This is from about 2 days ago. 6* He taps the monitor where just barely Zephyr, wearing only her big shirt she goes to bed in, can be seen, her face blank like a zombie
[20:32] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Zephyr?
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> <Alexander> If they're worried, they can put a device on your head to monitor brain patters. Your pattern would be different than Vivi's.
01[20:32] <01@Angela> * Sammael tilts her head. "But... she was a victim..."
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Look at her face.
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien taps it with his finger
04[20:32] <01Kit> <Megumi> Cover-up. Great. Now the suspects include myself and Angela.
[20:32] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Vacant. <Drasek> Like a bloody zombie.
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> It's not you, Megumi. You were drugged.
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> This is Alpha Protocol in use to it's maximum
[20:33] <01Kit> <Megumi> Can still be more misdirection.
04[20:33] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh come on. Angela again? Really is she that stupid?
[20:33] <01Chad`Winters> They could. But it's more likely a strong psionic or something else used on me. And since I doubt my psionic defense is a strong as it used to be, it makes it strong contender
[20:33] <01Kit> 6Megumi opens one eye and peers toward Darien. 1"It is still a convenient answer. I am just the inconvenient one. I too could be used... as my suspicion still includes Spade. I hardly doubt I am immune."
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> You all say she's been alone, dark, angsty, has a chip in her head, hated by all, has powers to control now, has her Alpha Protocols. And was in this..bar?
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Sometimes, Megumi, the simpliest explanation is the logical one.
01[20:34] <01@Angela> Sammael> "Yes but... the chip. How do we explain that?"
[20:34] <01Kit> <Megumi> Winters was used as well, was he not? He would put up more trouble than I.
[20:34] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Chad has been spending time with her, at work. Watching her.
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> The chip isn't working, clearly - I read up on it. The last chip was made as a replica from the ship's computers, I read, by CAduceus, wehn the original was destroyed. During a hacker attack, or post one
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Did any one check to see if the hacker reroute the code?
[20:35] <01Kit> 6Megumi opens her other eye and shakes her head. 1"Another of your human situational things. Occam's razor?"
[20:35] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shakes his head. 1I don't think we did. Unless Aya or Dawn did.
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> <Alexander> I agree. I suspect you were mind controlled.
[20:36] <01Kit> <Megumi> Plausible, yet I still find it convenient.
04[20:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses. 1During one of the attacks...Aya attacked Angela by manipulating the system. As soon as Angela was distracted all the attacks ended.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I'm just providing theories. But I do have one more.
[20:37] <01Kit> <Megumi> It is?
04[20:37] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> You say Angela is a leech. If I wanted untold power, what is the one person on this ship I'd attack?
[20:37] <01Chad`Winters> Problem with that is, it'd take a strong psionic to do it. The list has grown pretty thin considering
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Who I could reach with my Alpha Protocol.
[20:38] <01Kit> <Megumi> I do not follow this.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Erevis is a high end psionic with hyperspace powers.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> If I wanted power, I'd want that
[20:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shakes his head. 1But she's damaged right now.
[20:38] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> ALl the easier to take power.
01[20:38] <01@Angela> * Sammael is gripping her chair at this point. "H-He's right..."
[20:38] <01Kit> <Megumi> Would it not be more prudent to take Ao? She is 'perfected' in a sense.
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Dawn would have a flash of his face in a monitor, and suddenly, DAwn's face smashes right into the monitor; Alexander goes to say something when he's smashed into the field of Chad's cell
04[20:39] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Aye, mate. But you think Angela would be wantin that power? She's already more powerful than most folks.
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* SPoC would suddenly be slammed into the controls, the cells flickering on and off
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I can't say how easy it is to each Ao, really
[20:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron jerks, reaching for his katana.
06[20:39] * 01Chad`Winters blinks as Alex's face slams into the field and then the shield flickering, his eyes darting to find the attacker
[20:39] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Not very. Ao only ever really talks to me or Erevis these days.
[20:39] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC's head snaps back and she slumps there
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> This is all conjucture, of course.
[20:40] <01Kit> <Megumi> She is very easy to catch, actually.
06[20:40] * 01@Angela blinks, standing, she looks around nervously.
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> AS you said, she could be framed.
[20:40] <01Kit> 6Megumi blinks, tilting her head. 1"Right now."
[20:40] <01Kit> <Megumi> Right now, she is as weak and tired as can be."
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Theron would lift up, and slam into the controls - the cell power goes out
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chad would slam into a wall
06[20:40] * 01Chad`Winters grunts in pain as he slams into it
[20:40] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> ...I'll go get her.
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Warning; attack in security
[20:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and glances up. 1Oh shit.
[20:41] <01Kit> <Megumi> And." 6She notes to the warning. 1"We are about to be distracted."
06[20:41] * 01@Angela seems to freak out and runs to the teleporter, hitting a random button.
[20:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron strains to get to his feet, making a pained face.
[20:41] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> You think it's Billy?
04[20:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* As Angela goes to step on, Billy appears on the pad, and unches her in the face
[20:41] <01Kit> 6Freyja darts for the telepad past Xanatos.
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> I was waiting on this
04[20:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy aims her hand, firing a blast of dark energy at Angela
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Billy?
06[20:42] * 01@Angela dodges to one side with surprising speed and attempts to grab her.
[20:42] <01Kit> <Megumi> I would help, but the only thing I could use against that being would harm Athena.
[20:42] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I don't know but I need to get to Ao, you try to get to securiy. 6He turns and moves for the teleporter.
04[20:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy shifts to avoid the grab, shadowporting into Angela, ramming her nito the wall
[20:42] <01Kit> 6Freyja eyes Xanatos nervously, but hits security before he gets to it.
04[20:42] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Currently BIlly and Angela Bennet are fighting in security
[20:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek hops to his feet. 1Little Dark One sure is pissed that her Marcus and Kat were injured. About the only family she has left aside from Freyja.
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Noname rises, eyeing Megumi; Athena looks unsure what to do
[20:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus runs for the teleporter.
[20:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron's arms spark as he tries to get up, keeping him down for now.
06[20:43] * 01@Angela groans and hobbles up, then shows her resilience as she scharges at Billy.
04[20:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy lets Angela get close, then forms dark spikes in the air in front of ehr
[20:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps on and hits Ao's zone.
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao's zone beeps, indicating it's locked.
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Xan will need his chief of security password
[20:45] <01Kit> 6Freyja drops off the pad and shouts. 1"Billy!" 6Rushing inward and peering about at the destruction in the security lobby
[20:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos enters it quickly.
06[20:45] * 01@Angela hops back and skids to one side.
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> Stay out of this, Freyja!
[20:45] <01Kit> <Freyja> Billy, you can't!
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> She's got pheromones in the air, she'll use you against me
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy begins to gather dark energy in both hands, looking like she's exhausted already
[20:45] <01Kit> <Freyja> Marcus and Katrina are going to be fine! You can't prove she did it, so please!
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy slams into the wall suddenly from the unseen force
[20:46] <01Kit> 6Freyja jerks. 1"Billy!?" 6She starts moving for her
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Xanatos would find Ao --- sitting on the couch, resting
06[20:46] * 01@Angela blinks but charges Billy again, grabbing at her.
[20:46] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and lets out a breath. 1Jesus I had a freak out moment.
[20:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps on the teleporter and hits Security.
04[20:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy shifts away from the wall, shadowporting behind Angela. "So you got psionics. Nice."
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> Your mistake was hurting Katrina, bitch.
[20:47] <01Kit> <Freyja> Stop it!!
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy fires at her bcak
04[20:47] <01Kit> 6Freyja skids to a halt, falling painfully onto her knees, but holds up her hands to create a shield around Angela.
06[20:48] * 01@Angela turns eyes her as the shield forms.
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> ... you stupid bitch. 6* Seh says suddenly, eyeing Freyja, the expression in her face unlike any Freyja has seen before. "You can't even trust me to know what I'm doing. No. You would go against me."
[20:48] <01Kit> <Freyja> I'm not against anyone!
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> You've just fucked us all over! If I could stop her now, then we wouldn't have had to worry!
[20:49] <01Kit> 6Freyja makes a face, dropping the barrier now that she's not beating on it. 1"..."
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy seems to be gasping for air, then slams into wall
[20:49] <01Kit> <Freyja> What--!? What's going on?
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek rubs his head. 1Should I go do damage control you think?
[20:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao peers at Xanatos. "Freak out moment?"
04[20:49] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> ...kinda want Angela to get beat down a bit.
06[20:50] * 01@Angela reaches out and touches Freyja, then grabs Billy.
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy strains. "Dammit, you are not---taking control of my..."
04[20:50] <01Kit> 6Freyja reaches over and grips Angela's wrist in a vice-clamp hold much belying her normal strength.
04[20:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps forward, sending a punch out for Angela's face.
[20:51] <01Kit> <Freyja> Don't. Even." 6She squeezes, digging her very fingertips inward. 1"Make even breath out of place, I'll seal you."
[20:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy seems to be out of it, like she's doped
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Freyja and Marcus' minds begin to get heavy to think, their actions no longer working properly.
[20:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos rubs his neck slightly. 1Good chance that the hacker is an ability leech. Since you gave blood you were weaker than normal so it would have made an easy target, considering.
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien speaks up to Drasek. "We don't know the situation, or what's going on - if we all rush one by one through the pad, it could be dangerous. We need Xanatos to lock down security, but ..."
[20:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus makes a face, putting a hand to his head. 1D-...f...uck.
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know enough about this ship
[20:53] <01Kit> 6Freyja's eyes widen slightly, her hand clenching even tighter, the fingers closing in toward each other, but can't seem to move on to her next step, so close, so far.
06[20:53] * 01@Angela slisp out of Freyja's grasp as she does something to her mind, she grabs Billy and steps around the two for the teleporter.
[20:53] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> What'dya need to know, mate? I know enough.
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> How to lock down security. Turn off teleporter pads. Track people.
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Instead of rushing in, we need to isolate the zone
[20:53] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Get to a crowded area. 6He reaches out to his security.
[20:53] <01@Xanatos> NRP: hit*
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao frowns. "What crowded area?"
[20:54] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> CHIP. How much access do I have?
[20:54] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Medbay. 6He says before hitting the button.
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Your access is high, but not enough to interfere with security
[20:54] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Guess I was wrong, mate. 6He gives Darien a light shrug.
06[20:54] * 01@Angela hits a button on the teleporter, with Billy in hand and vanishes.
04[20:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Angela fails - Xan is there
04[20:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos throws out a punch for Angela.
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> 6* Xanatos would get hit by a psionic force, rgiht into the wall
06[20:55] * 01@Angela ducks with surprising speed. Holding onto Billy, she taps a button and vanishes.
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Hence why we need Xanatos.
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Um. I think it's safe to enter security now. Everyone got beaten
[20:56] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos lets out a grunt of pain. 1CHIP did you trace her!?
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> She's jumping from place to place. And my systems are damaged
[20:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien moves to the pad now, hitting security
[20:56] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody hell. 6He moves with Darien.
[20:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pushes himself up, peering around with a frown, he tries to find a working console to see if he can trace her manually.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chad and Dawn would begin t oawaken
[20:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus continues to stand there and hold his face.
06[20:57] * 01Chad`Winters hand moves to his head as he slowly rises with a dazed look.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Freyja, also, would recover quicker, being a fox demon
[20:57] <01Kit> 6Dawn pushes himself out of the panneling, staring in shock. Blood tells him he's finally taken cuts to his face, oddly horrified of seeing his reflection in the monitors. --After all, he sees Fiore.
[20:58] <01Kit> <Freyja> U-Ugh... ..
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Noname looks at Megumi, and Athena. Ao enters med bay
06[20:58] * 01Chad`Winters shakes his head and he moves over to Alexander, kneeling down and checking his pulse
[20:58] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody hell. Looks like a disaster in here.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I was told to come here
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* It's weak
01[20:58] <01@Angela> * Sammael meanwhile sits nervously in her chair. She hops up when she sees Ao. "Y-You're safe!"
[20:58] <01Kit> <Freyja> B... Billy..?" 6She pushes herself up, looking around
04[20:59] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Angela took her. I'm trying to trace her but it's kind hard when everything is fucking destroyed. 6he hisses.
06[20:59] * 01Chad`Winters stands up and moves out of the holding cell. 1"Durran, Alex is in here, his pulse is weak
[20:59] <01Kit> <Freyja> ... ...Xanatos. ...May I ask... a favor?
[20:59] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Get him to Meddbay. What is it Freyja?
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien moves over, shaking his head. "I was hoping I was wrong...." 6 *He pauses. "We need to put Zephyr in heavy sedation."
[20:59] <01Kit> <Freyja> ...Please don't be afraid. But..
06[21:00] * 01Chad`Winters grunts and he moves back, grabbing Alexander and picking him up. He makes his way back to the teleporter and hits Medbay
[21:00] <01Kit> 6Freyja keeps a hand over her face slightly, but gets to her feet shakily and moves toward Xanatos.
[21:00] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek nods to Darien. 1I'll go let Cad know. 6He goes with Chad.
[21:00] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Freyja. I'm not afraid. Just pissed.
[21:00] <01Kit> <Freyja> That's fine... can I have your...
[21:00] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pause slightly to peer at her.
06[21:01] * 01Chad`Winters steps off the teleporter then makes his way to a table, setting Alex on it. 1"Cad, Alexander needs some medical attention."
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus isn't in the main area, but in emergency.
[21:01] <01Kit> 6Freyja peers at the ground, shifting uncomfortably. 1"Blood."
06[21:01] * 01Chad`Winters glances around for one of his medical personel
04[21:01] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Why do you need my blood? 6He looks back to the console to continue trying to get a lock on Angela.
[21:01] <01Kit> 6Dawn shifts back, then finds a console not completely smashed and tries to rewind on what just happened.
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Xanatos would find it hopeless to find her at this point
[21:02] <01Kit> <Freyja> I want t-- I need to find her.
04[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Dawn would see the feed of everyone getting psionically bashed around, Angela's escape, Billy showing up, etc.
[21:02] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well how will my blood find her? 6He slams his fist against the console.
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Teh Famfrits look at Chad innocently as he approaches
[21:03] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Hey, one of you gits Sedate Zephyr as much as you possibly can! 6He calls out to the famfrits as he steps in.
[21:03] <01Chad`Winters> His pulse is weak. 6He steps back, his hand tapping his comm. 1"Aya, you alright?"
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> <Famfrit> That could be dangerous for her health
[21:03] <01Kit> <Freyja> Durran. One of my talents is a seer, but Billy is exceptionally difficult. We share a vague bond, however and... I can..
06[21:04] * 01Chad`Winters lowers his hand as he looks at the famfrit. 1"Then restrain her with whatever you can.
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* One moves over to check on Alexander.
[21:04] <01Kit> <Freyja> It would help if I got in touch with... my other side.
[21:04] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> How dangerous is dangerous? Walkin about like a zombie is pretty damn deadly too yeah?
[21:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods. 1Go for it.
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> <Famfrit> Dangerous as in health dangerous
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya answers from the bridge. "I'm fine.
[21:04] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Right. I'll just stick about and keep her from running off then.
[21:04] <01Kit> 6Freyja looks shocked, leaning in close to Xanatos' face. 1"Y-You're okay with it..?"
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* They go to tell Cad that everyone wants to restrain Zeph, though
[21:05] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I have to find her. 6He says with a seething voice, clearing fighting to keep control of his emotions.
04[21:05] <01Chad`Winters> <Comm> Lock it down tight. Apparently Angela's on the run.
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> We have one issue we can't overlook, Xanatos.
[21:06] <01@DeathStar> <Aya on Comm> Alright.
04[21:06] <01Kit> 6Freyja nods slightly, bringing her hand away from her mouth. She's panting slightly for whatever reason. Her slight fangs are more prominent than usual, probably having been hiding them since she became enraged with Angela.
[21:06] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> The fact she has Billy or that she can control pretty much anyone?
04[21:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao stares at the chaos. "Wait, Angela what?"
[21:06] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bitch went crazy, luv. Busted up security and took Billy. Everyone thinks she might be behind all this.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Who was helping her. The hacker fellow. She can't be both, no way.
06[21:07] * 01Chad`Winters looks at Ao briefly then Drasek, then Ao. 1"I need to get some stuff from my place. If Zephyr goes nuts, Drasek has the strength to restrain her, but it's not smart for me to go alone.
04[21:07] <01Kit> 6Dawn sits back, one hand to his face, still tense. He uses security to try and get a bead on Fiore firstmost, then gasps a bit and checks on Aya, then begins to look for Angela fervently.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore's with Aya on the bridge
[21:08] <01Kit> 6Freyja leans slightly as if she might go for Xanatos' neck, but then takes his hand and bites rather abrubtly into his wrist without much gentle nature.
[21:08] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Oh I agree completely. She's the puppet, like usual. It HAS to 6He jerks and eyes Freyja. 1It just has to be Spade. But who's body is he in?
04[21:08] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> ... 6* She bares her teeth, like she plans to find Angela
[21:08] <01Chad`Winters> I get my stuff, then we can help find her.
01[21:08] <01@Angela> * Sammael looks at Ao.
[21:09] <01Kit> <Megumi> I cannot place it either. Even in theory.
[21:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek points to Ao. 1Not alone. Not yet, we gotta corner the ponce and take her out together. Go with this bloke here and make sure he doesn't do anything funny. 6He thumbs to Chad.
[21:09] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Well, clearly one of us.
06[21:09] * 01Chad`Winters clicks his tongue in reponse to Drasek and he moves to the teleporter, stepping on and waiting
[21:09] <01Kit> <Megumi> I would have thought I would be the best host, honestly. I can enter almost any place without question and no one seems to want to harm me." 6She shrugs.
[21:10] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Please?
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao strains to stand, following Chad
[21:10] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well. I'm all ears for who that might be. Technically Paladin hasn't been accounted for today. Could it be him?
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Spade, if it's him, would want to be near the action
06[21:11] * 01Chad`Winters shifts to be infront of Ao and he hits his zone
[21:11] <01Kit> 6Freyja unceremoniously gnaws on Xanatos, tongue but no mercy or passion in this except an usual pension for his blood from the teeth puncturing. Granted, rather than a B-movie vampire, some of her other teeth near the inscissors also poked him pretty good.
[21:11] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> See it all go down, relish in the Chaos. So it's one of us that's been around the group?
[21:11] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> ... 6He watches Freyja, making a face at the pain and the manner she's taking.
[21:11] <01Kit> 6Dawn idly keeps an eye on Zone 30 while searching the others.
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I'd say to monitor and impede us.
[21:12] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> To monitor. Well then it would be someone in security, we can see almost everything.
04[21:12] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> We need to capture Angela alive, in any case. If we want to draw him out
[21:12] <01Kit> 6Freyja makes a noise after a moment, practically shoving Xanatos away from herself, whining.
06[21:12] * 01Chad`Winters steps off into his zone, his eyes darting around.
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos stumbles back slightly, wrapping his hand up with a piece of his shirt. 1Unless it's someone that has access ot the bridge
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao looks around herself. ”Looks clear.”
[21:14] <01Chad`Winters> Aye. 6He starts moving across his beach towards his house now.
[21:14] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Can't say I'm enjoyin this. I hate playing games like tag.
[21:14] <01Kit> 6Freyja gasps, her head to the ground, some of the blood escaping her lips to drop on the floor, but she sits up, her eyes wide and feral, not unlike Chii's before she got some TLC. They glow a bit, like one would expect in the dark, and she rubs the back of her hand across her lips, as if savoring something she ate for dessert.
[21:15] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Darien if you could get everyone all in one place it would minimize any chances of getting picked off seperately. Me and Freyja need to go find Freyja and restrain her.
04[21:15] <01@Xanatos> NRP: angela.
06[21:15] * 01Chad`Winters steps onto his porch, eyeing the door and he opens it, moving inside. He heads into his room grabbing some things
[21:16] <01Kit> <Freyja> Just. Stay away. From me.
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao keeps an eye on Chad
[21:16] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> You'll lead me to them. Now let's go. Dawn get SPoC and Theron awake.
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes monitors in thought
[21:16] <01Kit> 6Freyja brings her hand up and bites at her finger a bit, as if suppressing hunger. She peers at Xanatos, but more like an entree.
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Warning. There’s a fire in the garden
[21:17] <01Kit> 6Dawn eyes his comm, then peers around and moves to check on Theron and SPoC.
[21:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances up slightly. 1Can you contain it?
06[21:17] * 01Chad`Winters tosses two holsters onto his night stand and he begins undressing as he grabs his tact suit. He slips it on and grabs his holsters, hooking them on.
[21:17] <01Kit> 6Freyja growls throatily, then lightsteps directly to the telepad, hitting the garden.
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> Water controls are locked out
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> The hacker.
[21:18] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos hits his comm. 1Aya. The hacker has locked out the controls for the water safety in the garden and it's on fire. Try to get it back online.
[21:18] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I really really hate this guy.
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya doesn’t respond
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy’s tree is burning
06[21:19] * 01Chad`Winters moves down to his lab and grabs a small device and moves back up.
[21:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos tchs and glances to Freyja. 1It's a distraction for you. If you don't contain it Billy will die.
[21:19] <01Kit> 6Freyja makes several jumps to get to it, then upward, over it, she brings up her hand, still breathing and panting quickly, her heartrate way up. She brings down a torrential downpour over it to put it out.
[21:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves to the teleporter and hits the bridge.
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* The tree is put out; it’s weak, weaker than just the fire - it’s clear Billy’s using massive amounts of energy somewhere
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* It’s locked.
[21:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos tries to use his override.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* It fails for some reason.
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> -ONE MOMENT PAUSe-
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> I can’t stand the “ fucking up and I ca’t correct it this time
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> So I’m fipping IRC on and off
02[21:21] * DeathStar (Gilmore@238-169-82-209.planters.net) Quit (Quit: The second verse, same as the first)
03[21:21] * DeathStar (Gilmore@238-169-82-209.planters.net) has joined #taw
03[21:21] * ChanServ sets mode: +o DeathStar
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> -RESUME-
[21:21] <01Kit> 6Freyja draws her hand out, directly controlling the water she just used, bringing it up and forming a circular sheet in the air below her, then holds both hands out and focuses intently, trying to water divine Billy's position, using her own minor connection to Dark One thanks to Billy as an anchor.
[21:22] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Damnit. 6He hits 1B.
04[21:22] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> CHIP if you find Angela, you let me know immediately. 6He tells him as he moves towards the stairs for the bridge.
06[21:22] * 01Chad`Winters slides the device onto his belt, connecting it to it. 1"I've got everything."
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien moves to follow Xanatos
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Alright. What now?
[21:23] <01Chad`Winters> Comm Durran, find out where he wants us.
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy's somewhere deep in the back corridors of the ship is all Freyja can tell, and getting weaker
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> I don't have my comm
[21:24] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves up the steps. 1They could see everything from the bridge. But it's also the first place I would check. 6He talks as he moves, probably to keep himself focused.
06[21:24] * 01Chad`Winters steps out of his shanty as he taps his comm. 1"Durran. Update us on what's going on."
[21:24] <01Kit> 6Freyja tries a different approach, then, after eyeing the tree. She brings the water in front of it and tries to make a gate for her to approach Billy's soul directly.
06[21:24] * 01Chad`Winters taps his comm, so it's on speaker that was Ao can hear it
[21:24] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos on Comm> The bridge is locked down and we can't get in, me and Darien are trying to get in from the steps in 1b.
[21:25] <01Chad`Winters> <Comm> I told Aya to lock it down to be safe.
[21:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses on the steps and frowns. 1Get in contact with her, she won't reply to me.
[21:25] <01Kit> 6Dawn shakes at Theron and SPoC.
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* The gate begins to form slowly.
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien stops as well
06[21:25] * 01Chad`Winters taps his comm, shifting to Aya. 1"Aya, everything alright up there?"
[21:25] <01Kit> 6Freyja lowers herself to it, not being conservative in her energy at all. Not when it comes to Billy.
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> <Aya on comm> Yes. Nothing wrong here.
[21:26] <01Chad`Winters> <Comm> Durran was worried, you didn't respond to him.
[21:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos closes his eyes and lifts his head towards the sky, clearly trying to piece everything together.
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* The gate forms
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> <Aya on comm> He never contacted me... 6* She sounds puzzled
[21:26] <01Kit> 6Freyja quickly moves herself in, it's the fastest way to get to Billy, alone or not.
[21:27] <01Chad`Winters> <Comm> He didn't? 6He unhooks his datapad and tosses it to Ao. 1"Ao, tell Durran."
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao takes it. "Tell Durran what?"
[21:28] <01Chad`Winters> That Aya never received a comm from him.
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Alright. 6* She contacts Durran. "Aya says she never got your comm."
[21:29] <01Chad`Winters> <Comm> You seeing anything strange going on?
[21:29] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to Darien when he hears his datapad go off.
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> <Aya on comm> No - there was a fire in the garden, but it's fine now
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien tosses it to Xa
[21:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos catches it and then replies with a [Tell her we're at the stairs to the bridge and to let us in.]
[21:30] <01Chad`Winters> <Comm> Most likely a distraction for Freyja. I'm gonna assume the same with Durran and you not receiving his comm.
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Xan wants you to tell her to open the door
[21:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron struggles to sit up, his cybernetics damaged slightly.
06[21:31] * 01Chad`Winters nods to Ao. 1"Durran is outside, he needs you top open up for him.
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya opens the door to 1B, peering over, as does Fiore
[21:32] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances up and then nods to Darien, moving up into the bridge.
06[21:32] * 01Chad`Winters lowers his hand, but his comm's open to Aya incase something happens. 1"Let's head back to Medical for now, make sure everythings fine down there, then we'll decide what to do next."
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* A moment later, Chad would hear a gun shot over Aya's comm. Then another. Then a third.
06[21:32] * 01Chad`Winters pauses then quickly moves for the teleporter
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao follows. "What just happened?"
[21:33] <01Chad`Winters> Gun shots.
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> But who shot whaT?
[21:33] <01Chad`Winters> I heard three of them. That's all that matters. 6He gets on the teleporter, moving his hand infront of his face as he unholsters Ebony.
[21:33] <01Kit> 6Dawn panics slightly, trying to bring up views of the bridge
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* There's a fourth shot a moment later
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao steps on
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Dawn would see everyone on the ground
06[21:34] * 01Chad`Winters eyes go wide and he hits the bridge
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* It's locked.
[21:34] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron slowly sits down by Dawn, peering at the scene. 1What has happened?
06[21:34] * 01Chad`Winters hits 1B
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chad enters 1B.
[21:34] <01Kit> <Dawn> Ayahime!
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao runs for the stairs
[21:35] <01Kit> 6Dawn eyes the security locks and tries to open the bridge himself.
06[21:35] * 01Chad`Winters sprints after Ao, moving faster if he can
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* It's locked with Xan's security code
[21:35] <01Kit> 6Dawn shakes his head and just tears into it. He doubts Xanatos would disapprove at this point.
06[21:36] * 01Chad`Winters taps his comm to medical. 1"We need medical to the bridge now.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* AS they reach the bridge, they'd see all four of them down, all shot in teh chest
[21:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron takes a second to bring up feeds of the hanger, slowing going over the feed since it's a large section.
06[21:36] * 01Chad`Winters dashes in and quickly moves towards his daughter, sliding upto her, his hands moving to the gun shot wound.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao kneels by Xan, who has a gun in his hand, and peers at Darien
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Her tactical suit took the brunt of it, knocking ehr out
[21:37] <01@Xanatos> <Theron> It's curious. Causing this chaos, there is no where to run.
[21:37] <01Kit> 6Dawn moves to the telepad, then uses his datapad to re-lock security but heads to the bridge
06[21:37] * 01Chad`Winters checks her pulse to as he glances at Fiore.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* It's strong. Fiore's bleeding, unfortunately, having no tactical suit - as is Darien. And Xan
[21:38] <01Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I believe it is what you call, seperate and conquer.
06[21:38] * 01Chad`Winters feels along her neck then hits a pressure point to wake her up.
[21:39] <01@Xanatos> <Theron> Yes. It appears to be working. Frankly they have taken down all of the 'major' players. If we do not find them soon, it will be too late. If it is not already.
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya jerks once, opening her eyes with a painful gasp
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Xanatos would begin to stir - his gunshot isn't that bad, just a shoulder shot
06[21:39] * 01Chad`Winters shifts to help her up. 1"I need you to focus right now Aya."
[21:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos groans, slowly sitting up.
[21:39] <01Chad`Winters> <SPoC> But I do not understand what the end game is.
[21:40] <01@Xanatos> <Theron> What else than to control?
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya glances at him. Ao moves to check on Fiore now
[21:40] <01Chad`Winters> We need to make sure Fiore and Darien are stable. 6He stares in his eyes as he speaks in a calm voice.
[21:40] <01Chad`Winters> NRP: Her eyes
[21:41] <01Kit> 6Dawn enters the bridge? quickly eyeing the place and moving to Fiore.
[21:41] <01@Xanatos> <Xantos> What the hell just happened? 6He glances around, eyeing those on the ground, he pauses and eyes the gun in his hand.
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, turning to eye Fiore in horror, then Dawn. Ao checks her pulse.
[21:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos eyes them all around Fiore and pulls himself over to Darien, putting pressure on the wound as he checks his pulse.
[21:42] <01Chad`Winters> Ao, how is she?
[21:42] <01Kit> 6Dawn's eyes widen in shock, repeating his reaction from his own reflection earlier, dropping by Fiore and panickedly checking on her with Xanatos.
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Weak. She's bleeding out
[21:42] <01Chad`Winters> Durran, I tried comming Medical, but it's most likely it was blocked. Dawn, get her to medbay before she bleeds out.
[21:43] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Or they can't get onto the locked bridge.
[21:43] <01Kit> <Dawn> Unlocked it. ..." 6He blinks at Xanatos, then goes back to panicking. He got on after all.
[21:43] <01Chad`Winters> They would've commed me back if that was the case.
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* AYa moves, working to heal Fiore
[21:44] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Did I do this? 6He asks aloud, holstering the gun and grunting to try and lift Darien up..
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien's wound isn't that bad either.
[21:44] <01Kit> 6Dawn fumbles with his medical supplies, trying to staunch and bandage the wound.
[21:44] <01Chad`Winters> I don't know. I heard three gun shots. Then another one a moment later.
[21:44] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Come'on Darien, wake up. 6He works on wrapping the wound before smacking his face.
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien makes a face.
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien sits up, his wound healing slowly
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos leans back and checks his pistol to see how many shots were from him.
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Four.
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> ....I think I did this.
[21:45] <01Chad`Winters> Then shot yourself?
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Xanatos. "Spade."
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Been in you.
06[21:45] * 01Chad`Winters clicks his tongue at that.
[21:46] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> HOW do we stop someone that can apparently jump at will now.
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Get his pawn.
[21:46] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> CHIP any luck? 6He calls out, pushing himself to his feet.
[21:46] <01Chad`Winters> You force his pawn, and he might lash out.
[21:47] <01Kit> 6Dawn tries to get Fiore squared away with Aya's help, then moves to gently lift her and hurry to the medical bay.
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> No.
[21:47] <01Chad`Winters> Aya, why was Fiore up here?
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Protecting her.
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> No one should be alone, we decided.
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya eyes the blood on her hands, shaking
06[21:47] * 01Chad`Winters nods. Then reaches along his belt, and holds out a wet nap to his daughter
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to his shoulder and makes a face, shaking his head. 1The hacker is using CHIP to watch everyoen right? What if we shut down all non-critical systems, we might blind him.
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> He's already lashed out, Chad.
[21:48] <01Kit> <Dawn> Lost. Lost...." 6He shakes, moving quickly to find someone in the medical bay that can examine Fiore. 1"Lost. To bastard."
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Famfrits peer up as Dawn arrives
[21:48] <01Chad`Winters> If you plan on taking his pawn, then everybody will need to be ready to defend themselves.
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks and widens his eyes, moving to Dawn. 1The hell happened!?
04[21:49] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> We need to capture Angela - then see if we can make him try to free her
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya takes the napkins slowly, as if not sure what to do with them
01[21:49] <01@Angela> * Sammael appears on the bridge, looking about with a nervous and worried glance before rushing over to Ao. "Are you okay? Ao?"
[21:49] <01Kit> <Dawn> Spade." 6He hisses angrily.
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao peers up, then her eyes narrow. "You."
06[21:50] * 01Chad`Winters steps over to her, cleaning her hands off with them.
[21:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts to eye Sam, arching a brow. 1You're not supposed to be here. I said stay in medical.
01[21:50] <01@Angela> * Sammael touches her and blinks. "Me?"
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Famfrits page Caduceus about Fiore, motioning Dawn to put her in emergency
04[21:50] <01@DeathStar> <Ao> Angela!
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao jerks once, then slumps
[21:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and raises his pistol firing stun shots otu for Samgela.
[21:50] <01Chad`Winters> Do you really think that Spade will free her?
[21:50] <01Kit> 6Dawn does so efficiently, helping with the pre-processes
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien turns to eye the scene
01[21:51] <01@Angela> * Sam blinks in surprise and eeps, leaping back away from the shots. "Wh-What are you doing?"
[21:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek grits his teeth, seething with anger.
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya peers up slowly herself now, focusing on XAnatos firing
[21:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slams his hand downward to smash Sam for the ground, firing stun shots still.
06[21:51] * 01Chad`Winters hand quickly swings Ebony towards Xanatos now then towards Sammael, his eyes focused
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Freyja arrives in medical with a bloodied Billy
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao and Sam are "tossed" as if by a hand into the teleporter
[21:52] <01Kit> 6Freyja begs for help, collapsing to her knees and panting.
01[21:52] <01@Angela> * Sam hits a button and they vanish.
[21:52] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> GODDAMNIT!
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien gets to her feet.
[21:52] <01Kit> 6Dawn moves out of the ER rooms once the actual people begin handling it. He wrings his wrists, anger filling his face.
06[21:53] * 01Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"Aya, do you still have a copy of that program?
[21:53] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> CHIP get on them now!
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> She's jumping about again
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Te Famfrits begin to freak the fuck out at all the bloodied people
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Noname moves over to take Billy and mvoe her into emergency as well
[21:53] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Puppet or not, when I catch her this time, she's dead. 6He promises, holstering his pistol before stepping onto the teleporter
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> <Noname> I'll help with the healing. Athena, watch over your mother
[21:53] <01Kit> 6Freyja falls onto her face, passing out.
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> We need her alive.
[21:54] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Oh, I know. But when we don't need her alive...
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> ....
[21:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek moves to lift Freyja up and take her to a bed.
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs his face, trying to think
[21:55] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Where will she run? Where will she go? 6He mouths, closing his eyes, thinking, hand hesitating over the buttons.
04[21:55] <01Kit> 6Dawn pulls out both datapads and begins tracing any changes not from damage to CHIP's systems, the other he begins making notes of Angela's 'jumping' to single out if there's pattern or reoccurance to locations within it.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> We need to decide why she wanted Ao
[21:55] <01Chad`Winters> She's taken Erevis and Zephyrs blood and now has taken Ao. She's collecting powers.
[21:55] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Power. Exactly.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> That makes no sense, Ao is like Erevis
[21:55] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> A hostage maybe?
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> How much do you all value Ao in this time period?
[21:56] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> She's important to me and Erevis for sure.
01[21:56] <01@Angela> * Sammael, still in medical, tries not to look around too much as people scurry about, she rocks worriedly.
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> ... there's one way to end this
[21:56] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm listening.
[21:57] <01Chad`Winters> It better not involve a self-destruct
04[21:57] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> We wake up Zephyr, and we see just how much her love for Megumi can override the Alpha Protocols, and have Zephyr trace Angela.
[21:57] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'd half be willing to do that. 6He says with a snap, before pausing and rubbing his face.
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya takes a seat in a chair, trying to think, finally washing her hands clean
[21:57] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Fine. Let's get to it.
[21:57] <01Kit> <Dawn> Bastard. Only so many places." 6He mumbles, trying to correlate the two and find a place he can wait for her to re-jump to.
[21:57] <01Chad`Winters> You really willing to risk Zephyr's well being?
[21:58] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Zephyr, or the entire ship Chad?!
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I just believe Zephyr will go with true feelings over protocols
[21:58] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Do you have faith in her, Chad?
06[21:59] * 01Chad`Winters gives Darien a look and he sits down next to his daughter.
[21:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos motions for Darien to step on.
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Darien moves to join XAn
[22:00] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos hits the medbay button, moving forward quickly for Zephyr's room.
[22:00] <01Kit> <Megumi> Xanatos.
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien motions at Megumi. "Come with us, I need to epxlain my plan."
04[22:01] <01Chad`Winters> We need to try and cut Angela's ability to teleport around so frequently.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> We can turn off all power.
[22:01] <01Kit> 6Megumi opens her eyes slowly, looking between the two.
[22:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya speaks coldly.
[22:01] <01Kit> <Megumi> You do not sound positive it is a good idea.
01[22:01] <01@Angela> * Sammael blinks and pulls out her datapad, she slowly stares at it before going pale, standing up, she looks around in slight confusion.
[22:01] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> It's not but we really don't have much choice.
[22:01] <01Kit> <Megumi> I hear honesty from Durran. As usual.
[22:01] <01Kit> 6Megumi makes a face, but rises, nodding, moving to follow.
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I'll admit my plan is banking on what I know of your bond to Zephyr from my time period, but I see no reason for it not to be strong now, as well
[22:02] <01Chad`Winters> We'll slow her down, but it'll make it harder for us to get to her
01[22:02] <01@Angela> * Sammael moves over for the teleporters, looking back once as she does.
04[22:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron loads up the largest number of feeds that he can, trying to pinpoint movement, potentially Angela, on them.
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Yes. It will.
[22:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos turns and aims at Sam. 1Don't fucking move.
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien steps into the emergency area that Zephyr is at, stopping
[22:02] <01Chad`Winters> Can we lock out the teleporters so only we have control over them?
04[22:03] <01Kit> 6Dawn stops a moment. 1"CHIP, is Angela's movement making use of your functions or her own indepedent ability?"
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien glances back at Sam
01[22:03] <01@Angela> * Sam stops, blinking, she looks at Xan. "Y-You have to... to let me go..."
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> We'd need Erevis or Xan's command codes to do that
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Mr. Xanatos has been compromised. We'd need Erevis' codes.
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena eyes Sam, tilting her head
[22:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos eyes her. 1I will gun you down right now. Get your ass back in that goddamn chair.
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Xan once, as if evaluating him, then ahead at Sam.
01[22:04] <01@Angela> * Sam starts to crys, she shakes her head. "I have to go... please Xan."
06[22:04] * 01Chad`Winters crosses his arms as he thinks. 1"What if we rewrite some of the code to keep the teleporters from activating repeatedly. Force them to have a cool down?
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Why do you need to?
[22:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos approaches her slowly, pistol raised.
01[22:04] <01@Angela> Sam> "I c-can't say..."
[22:04] <01Kit> 6Megumi looks annoyed and raises her left hand, crystallizing part of the floor and over Sammael's feet and ankles.
[22:04] <01Kit> <Megumi> We do not have time for this.
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya rubs her face. "We could ask Caduceus to wake up Erevis. They're willing to wake up Zephyr."
[22:05] <01Kit> 6Dawn pages Aya.
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> ... Xna, handle Sam. Meg, with me, I'll explain
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien moves to Zephyr
01[22:05] <01@Angela> * Sammael looks down at her feet and squirms in panic. "P-Please don't..."
[22:05] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> No. You two work on the Zephyr angle. 6He steps past her and onto the teleporter. 1Now. Tell me why Sam. Give me a reason to trust you.
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, turning on her comm.
[22:05] <01@Xanatos> NRP: now*
04[22:05] * 01Chad`Winters rubs his temple then taps his comm. 1"Durran. Aya and I want to lock out the teleporters to keep Angela from using them freely. But we'll need Erevis' codes."
01[22:05] <01@Angela> * Sammael looks up at him, the look says everything before she even says it. "Angela has Ao... she said to come alone or sh-she'd kill her."
04[22:06] <01Kit> <Dawn> Aya... if you can determine Angela's movement is by the ship's power, reroute all the teleporting destinations to a fixed point.
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I don't have that level of command code, Dawn
[22:06] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Go where?
[22:06] <01Kit> 6Megumi follows Darien.
[22:07] <01Kit> <Dawn> I know. It would take me too long to try it on my own, though.
01[22:07] <01@Angela> Sammael> *she looks hesitant, eyes flicking to her datapad* A-A zone... and then one near it... if I tell you she'll die..."
04[22:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien ignores Cad's glare. "You have sway over Zephyr, even I know you don't abuse it, it's there. If her feelings for you are real, keep her focused on that connection to you so Angela can't use her protocols. And then have Zephyr backtrace Angela.
[22:07] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Tell them i'll come instead. They can have me.
[22:08] <01Kit> <Dawn> Alternatively, we could use the same function to copy her movement and send us there the instant she is detected having moved.
[22:08] <01Kit> <Megumi> So that is what this is about..
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Dawn, a lot of the ship is damaged, we don't have these functions.
[22:08] <01Chad`Winters> Tell Dawn it won't work. The teleporters are designed not to send something in if there's something on it
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Yes. Are you willing?
01[22:08] <01@Angela> * Sammael looks a bit confused, she perhaps sees some flaw to that, but then she starts to type the message.
[22:08] <01Kit> <Dawn> For safety. We're not concerned with her safety..
[22:09] <01Chad`Winters> Except she'll keep Ao close to her.
[22:09] <01Kit> <Megumi> Normally I would refuse, however.
06[22:09] * 01Chad`Winters taps his comm again paging Durran again
04[22:09] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I also think Zephyr could benefit from it, to see what Angela's become. To be honest.
[22:10] <01Kit> 6Megumi peers at Darien. 1"Right now she is not herself, right? The whole reason I refuse is that she has absolute freedom, even at the expense of some of my own will. So that in itself proves that my lack of intervention is worthless."
[22:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances around, then lifts he head up to whisper towards the ceiling. He pauses to glance at his comm, answering it. 1Yes?
[22:10] <01Kit> <Megumi> I will do it. If only to give to back to her. That will of choice.
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Darien nods, then gets Zephyr a shot.
01[22:10] <01@Angela> * Sammael looks up at him as she gets a response. "It says... me only... or else."
[22:10] <01Chad`Winters> <Comm> We need Erevis' codes. Aya and I want to lock out the teleporters so only we can use them when Aya and I allow it. That way she can't keep running
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr's eyes flicker open
[22:11] <01Kit> 6Megumi moves to sit and closes her eyes, rocking Isis. She takes a deep breath, then sighs, reluctantly trying to access their bond rather than just utilize it.
01[22:11] <01@Angela> "She also says I have ten minutes, starting when she sent the message."
01[22:11] <01@Angela> Sam>
[22:12] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos keeps his comm open. 1Sam. Send her a message back and tell her that if she kills AO, she loses her only hostage. So loses any option to negotiate her own safety.
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <.... Megumi?>
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya eyes Chad's comm, since Xan has it open
[22:12] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Because if Ao dies, then she will be hunted down and she will be killed.
[22:12] <01Kit> <Megumi> <Zephyr. I am sorry. I am going to do something I said I would not do...>
06[22:12] * 01Chad`Winters raises a brow slightly.
01[22:12] <01@Angela> * Sam does as told, fidgeting while stuck to the floor.
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Do what?>
01[22:13] <01@Angela> "...She says... 'Tell Xan to shut up.'" *she cringes*
[22:13] <01Chad`Winters> She's going to be in a blacked out zone. It's the safest place for her. 6He brings up a list of all zones like that
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* 1/3rd of the zones are still down for repairs and power rerouting, not to mention corridors between zones, which maek up a lot of space, too
[22:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos walks over and kneels to place his hand on the crystal, working to break it, then stands up and puts a hand to Sam's shoulder. 1Get Ao and get out of there.
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Bad idea.
[22:14] <01Kit> <Megumi> <Right now you are in a complicated game of tug of war. For once, I am going to pull back.> 6She notes, then actually starts to do so, actively bringing herself out in prominence, trying to hunt out other influence on Zephyr. 1<If you trust me, I want you to accept that. ...I would not do it if I had any other choice.>
[22:14] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I can't let Ao die. They know that.
01[22:14] <01@Angela> * Sammael nods. "I won't let her die."
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> No. Bad idea. Cannot see?
[22:15] <01Chad`Winters> Aya, can you pinpoint the last teleport made?
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> No.
[22:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to Athena. 1I'm sorry, what?
04[22:15] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Look the same as Angela. How will tell which is which?
01[22:15] <01@Angela> * Sammael looks between them, fidgeting as the clock ticks.
[22:16] <01Chad`Winters> How far back before it becomes impossible to keep logged?
01[22:16] <01@Angela> Sammael> "Ao will know."
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Almost immediately, Dad. 6* She says, frustrated.
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <....>
[22:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos Pauses and puts his hand under Sam's shirt, putting a hot hand to her waist.
01[22:16] <01@Angela> * Sam gasps and blinks.
[22:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face at causing pain and then nods to Sam.
[22:17] <01Kit> 6Megumi remains still in the process. 1<You love me, right, Zephyr?>
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <OF course.>
06[22:17] * 01Chad`Winters clicks his tongue as he rubs his face. 1"We should've never stopped working on our programs.
01[22:17] <01@Angela> Sam> "...I'll do my best. I love her. I won't let her die."
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien stands there, hands pressed together
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I know.
[22:18] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Hurry.
04[22:18] <01Kit> <Megumi> <We need to find Angela. She has been using you.>
01[22:18] <01@Angela> * Sam doesn't even seem to notice her slip before she steps on the telepad and hits a button, vanishing.
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Any plan we come up with, if Spade can jump bodies, he knows - without Erevis' codes to lock everything down, this will never end
[22:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos hmms and lifts up his comm. 1I hope you were trying to trace her.
[22:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers at his datapad while he talks to Chad.
04[22:19] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <T-hat...> 6* Megumi can feel Angela's influence tightly wrapped around Zephyr's mind, having been seeing her a lot, drainnig her blood over weeks, all there in her memories - and indeed, Megumi could find Angela's location through it
[22:19] <01Chad`Winters> If it's psychic based still, it's possible to keep him in one body...maybe. 6He rubs his temple as he eyes Aya, to see if she did.
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> The program didn't work. 6* She says flatly.
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya motions at an error message
[22:20] <01Kit> 6Megumi frowns slightly, then sees if the bond is two-way like her's to Zephyr's.
04[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr has no influence over Angela, it's one way
[22:21] <01Kit> <Megumi> ...Hrmph. So much for that idea.
04[22:21] <01Kit> <Megumi> Angela, however, is...
[22:21] <01Chad`Winters> <Comm> Durran, we need to wake up Erevis.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> If it's psychic base, we need to trap him in someone, and who would want that...?
[22:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanato rubs his face and pockets the datapad. 1Chad we can't. She's in critical condition.
[22:22] <01Kit> <Dawn> I'll do it.
[22:22] <01Chad`Winters> <Comm> Erevis or this entire ship. 6He repeats
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya glances at Chad using Xan's line back at him
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> What? No, Dawn
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya eyes her datapad
[22:22] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Cute. 6He turns to move into Erevis' room.
[22:23] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos on Comm> Why am I waking her up exactly?
[22:23] <01Kit> <Dawn> I'm the only one left, right? He hurt Oneesama...
[22:23] <01Kit> <Dawn> I refuse to lose again.
[22:23] <01Chad`Winters> <Comm> Or don't you believe that she 's strong enough to handle it. Because we need her command codes to lock out the teleporters. We control them, we control his and her movements
04[22:24] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <.... ....> 6* She seems to be worried for Angela, due to the tightly grasped influence. Megumi could,p ossiblely, clip the influence, if she tried, but hten she'd lose Angela's location
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Megumi, she isn't bad, really...>
[22:24] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos on Comm> Of course. 6He moves over to Erevis, glancing towards Darien. 1I need another one of those needles.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien opens his eyes, pauses, then takes the second one he had in case he needed two. Caduceus looks up from Fiore, blandly
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Want to wake them all up while we're at it?
04[22:25] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> We need her security codes to lock down the teleporters once we get to Angela.
[22:25] <01Kit> <Megumi> In the lab, naturally. Where else would one as mad as she be but in Myria's studies.
[22:26] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> And it would be better if I wasn't the one to hear it, since Space has ahold of me. Can I trust you to do this Darien?
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> What zone is this lab?
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then nods, moving over to take the needle
[22:26] <01Kit> 6Megumi opens her eyes, peering at Zephyr. 1<I am sorry.> 6She actively sets out to sequentially destroy the other holds.
[22:26] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm going now. 6he turns and dashes towards the teleporter.
[22:27] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos. Zone 5! 6He calls out over his shoulder to Darien.
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks in pain, but strangely enough never throws blame at Meg, having faith in her
[22:27] <01Chad`Winters> She's in Myria's old labs. 6He notes to Aya
[22:27] <01Kit> 6Dawn moves after Xanatos
[22:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances up slightly and moves after Xanatos.
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs a comm to contact the bridge. "I'm going to read the codes to you once I hear them. Be ready to input it in under 2 seconds."
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien gives Erevis the shot.
[22:27] <01Chad`Winters> Understood
[22:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos waits for Drasek and Dawn and hits Zone 5.
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes weakly, and Darien leans in, whispering to her.
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien smacks his face, then reads the code to Chad - it's Isis' birthdate with the word kitten in front of the numbers.
06[22:29] * 01Chad`Winters inputs them quickly
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya shuts down all the teleporter pads, and seals the doors to Zone 5. There is no escape.
04[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Megumi, since Angela isn't fighting back to my knowledge, would destroy the tendrils of Angela's influence
[22:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos and Drasek quickly move for Myria's lab. Xan's as his pistol out.
06[22:30] * 01Chad`Winters brings up the teleporter systems, his eyes monitoring them now for anyone trying to hack them.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Dad. If Spade can reach us, he'd get in one of us now to turn them back on
[22:30] <01Kit> 6Dawn follows slightly to the rear, his hands tense. Unlike before, he's on higher alert, but cautious and angry.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya turns to eye Chad
06[22:30] * 01Chad`Winters reaches down to his belt and clicks the device on.
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Think that'll be enough...?
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up weakly, desite Caduceus' protests. She looks at Megumi and Zephyr. "Is she okay"
[22:31] <01Chad`Winters> Not sure. The range is limited, but it should keep us safe. 6He eyes the entry ways now.
[22:32] <01Kit> <Megumi> Yes.
[22:32] <01Kit> <Megumi> How are you, beloved?
06[22:32] * 01@Angela stands in the back of the lab, her arms around Ao who looks almost self restrained, drugged, she smiles, at Sammael who kneels in front of them, looking battered and bruised, cut in several places. One of them for a moment speaks as though completely confused.
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Angry.
[22:32] <01Kit> <Megumi> Join the club.
[22:33] <01Chad`Winters> If we can tie the device into Chip's systems, we might be able to create a field that effects the entire ship.
04[22:33] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> If he lets us get that far - but right now, we need to stop Angela. 6* Her tone is thick in anger.
04[22:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos aims towards Angela as he moves in slowly. Drasek moves in to, going off to the side, not sticking near everyone.
01[22:34] <01@Angela> * Angela? moves slightly away from Ao, while Sam? gets up, they stare at each other like beasts about to pounce. They both look exactly alike.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> <.... .. Meg?> 6* She jerks, grabbing her in a hug, her eyes widened. <Did I hurt you? The sedative. Oh God, is Athena okay?>
[22:34] <01Chad`Winters> Agreed. 6He unholsters his modified gun and make sure it's on stun. He holds it out ot her.
[22:34] <01Kit> <Megumi> We are fine, Zephy. Please relax. You and beloved need rest.
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <Zephyr> But---
04[22:34] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Angela. Give up. Now.
04[22:35] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek squints, glancing from angela to sam or sam to angela. 1Which one is which, mate?
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts and gets off the medical tray. Caduceus and Noname look up from Fiore and Billy, their hands full, and she grabs a medical robe, moving out in a limp
[22:35] <01Kit> 6Dawn hangs back again. He doesn't enter the lab, staying out of sight and kneeling. He unshoulders his case and opens it, quickly assembling his customized rifle and slinking back a bit more, using the case itself as a brace and lies down, aiming into the lab.
01[22:35] <01@Angela> * Neither say anything, Sam perhaps too lost in whatever comes over her around Angela, Angela not about to give herself away, they start to circle.
[22:35] <01Kit> <Megumi> Beloved.
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Dawn would sense someone else is in the room besides them. A psionic entity with no form
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, Kitten...?
[22:36] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Take them both down. We'll sort out the rest later. 6He tells Drasek, who pulls out his own pistol and sets it to stun.
[22:36] <01Kit> 6Dawn narrows his eyes slightly, peering through his scope and scanning the room, bothered by that.
[22:36] <01Kit> <Megumi> You are in no condition to go.
04[22:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos aims and fires a stun shot for Sam, while Drasek aims and fires one for Angela. Or vice versa at this point.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps not.... 6* She admits, eyeing a strand of white hair in her red hair
01[22:37] <01@Angela> * They both pounce at each other, both dodging shots as they start to grapple.
[22:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos and Drasek don't stop, just firing shots towards them as they grapple, though while he's firing Xan moves towards Ao.
01[22:38] <01@Angela> * One tosses the other away from the shots, rolling and running after her to attack.
[22:38] <01Kit> 6Dawn shakes his head and begins to aim for the girls, concentrating and controlling his breathing. He waits until both are tangled.
[22:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos humps and slams his hands together, sending a force from either side to slam the two into each other, while Drasek blurs forward to grab them both in a bear hug.
01[22:39] <01@Angela> * They meet again, one hitting the other in the gut as they're overcome by Drasek. They writhe and squirm, dead set on killing each other.
[22:39] <01Kit> 6Dawn eyes Drasek grab them and aims low. He fires, one of the ridiculous anti-legacy/whatever rounds that Aya and him developed for the knees of both girls.
[22:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos fires a quick shot for each's head while Drasek restrains them.
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Both girls lose their legs, and are the nstunned
[22:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek drops them, peering at their legs. 1Bit overkill there, mate. 6He calls out.
[22:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face and then moves over kneels and check the waist.
[22:41] <01Kit> 6Dawn just holds up a hand, thumbs upping. He still eyes the room though
[22:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek moves over to check on Ao quickly, waving a hand in front of her.
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* The entity is gone, or in one of them.
[22:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao seems to have been pheramoned
[22:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos checks to see if either of them has his hand print.
01[22:43] <01@Angela> * One does.
[22:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slides them apart. 1I think this might be Sam. But who knows at this point. 6He moves to restrain them both.
[22:43] <01Kit> 6Dawn abandons his rifle and moves in quickly. 1"Spade is here."
[22:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek hmms and hoists Ao over his shoulder. 1Course he is.
04[22:45] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well. We have Angela. We need to figure out what to do with her now.
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> Location: Medical Bay
04[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* The one they suspect of Angela is in a room with a force field to stop pheramone usage, and one of Chad's antipsion devices to stop any moves. The same is being done for Sammael right now, until they can determine - both girls are hooked up to machines for the loss of their legs
04[22:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, eyeing each one's room - right now they have Angela? on one room, and Sam? on the other
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I don't know how they would be able to replicate the hand print, but there was enough time for them to do god knows what.
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus sits in a wheel chair, looking skeletonish, and even Noname looks exhausted
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs his chin. "I have something to say you might all not want to hear."
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek sits off to the side, arms behind his head, looking healthy.
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to Darien now.
[22:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Ao is in bed, recovering, and Zephyr has been silent, not speaking to anyone
[22:48] <01Kit> 6Dawn stands before the zone, eyeing both cells.
04[22:48] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Angela is clearly becoming insanely powerful. She could provide a real threat to Legacy.
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus is there, still looking annoyed at being pheremoned, though he's at least awake.
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Darien silently
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> At this point, I don't even care. 6He notes honestly.
[22:49] <01Kit> <Megumi> She has always been an equal threat to us as much as our enemies.
06[22:49] * 01Chad`Winters crosses his arms. 1"And it's clear we can't trust her with that power."
[22:49] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I gave her a chance. I could have left her back on that last planet but I gave her a chance to do some good. I'm done. No more.
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I agree - we put her in cryosleep between uses
06[22:50] * 01Chad`Winters eyes Darien at that.
[22:50] <01Kit> <Megumi> It will never work.
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> It will if we kill Spade.
[22:50] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> He's clearly been the only reason she got so far
[22:50] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Bugger that. I say we kill the bitch dead.
[22:50] <01Kit> <Megumi> I explained this before. Every time we restrain her, she overcomes it and becomes stronger. The stronger we make her shackles, the more explosive her resistance.
[22:50] <01Chad`Winters> But the fact remains, she's allowed it to get to this point.
[22:51] <01Kit> <Megumi> Not to mention the number of times we have tried to destroy Spade by now.
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I agree. There's no redemption for her, but Legacy killed all of you in my timeline. Easily. Think on that
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> She might be the only thing we have in the upcoming fight
[22:51] <01Chad`Winters> I wouldn't put it past her at this point that if we used her as a tool, she'ld just choose to take their side.
04[22:51] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Darien's right. Dealing with Angela is one thing, but I won't let my wife die to the Legacy. Even if it means using ANgela.
[22:51] <01Kit> 6Dawn casually eyes one cell, then the other, his arms crossed. 1"...I don't care which of you is which. I just want Spade."
[22:52] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya silently remains out of the conversation
[22:52] <01Kit> <Megumi> It will not work.
01[22:52] <01@Angela> * They defiantly remain unconcious against Dawns words.
[22:52] <01Kit> 6Megumi looks annoyed. 1"Consider this my only warning. From experience."
04[22:52] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> It's only my opinion. If we can't beat Spade, Megumi's right, keeping Angela is a risk to us.
[22:52] <01Chad`Winters> The only way I'd even remotely consider letting her out of cryo, is if you stuffed her full of explosives.
[22:53] <01Kit> <Megumi> Without Spade, or with. It makes no difference except in the amount of time to eventuality.
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Then, Kitten, what is your suggestion? To end her life?
[22:53] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I would say lobotomize her, but her brain would heal.
[22:53] <01Kit> 6Megumi eyes Chad. 1"Yes. 'Stuff her with explosives.' Then she could not explode and take us all with her."
06[22:54] * 01Chad`Winters eyes her back. 1"I was exageratting. Enough to take her head off is all we need."
04[22:54] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his finger against face. "I will say this, I haven't dealt with Spade in years, but if we kill Angela before we deal with him, he will kill us al."
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> He will hack and blow up the ship
[22:54] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> No, we're going to use her to get to him. After that, I really don't care what you all do. Drasek can take her head off for all I care.
[22:54] <01Kit> <Dawn> I know you're here.
[22:54] <01Chad`Winters> There's no doubt about it. The only way we can deal with him is through psionics at this point.
[22:55] <01Chad`Winters> And he's made short work of them.
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* He pauses, as if getting idea
[22:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron leans forward. 1It is possible that Spade had a hand in Cassandra's death?
[22:55] <01Kit> <Megumi> Very possible.
04[22:55] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> You all said Angela became an Omega again, right?
[22:55] <01Chad`Winters> Essentially
[22:55] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods once to Darien.
[22:56] <01Kit> <Megumi> You want her to take a pilot?
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> She has no pilot. Pilots can control Dragoons to a degree. If their will is strong enough
[22:56] <01Kit> <Megumi> Hrmph. Predictable.
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> We might could use her to find SPade.
[22:56] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Ah. But who's will is strong enough? I would offer, but i'm comprimised and I can't bond either.
[22:56] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I never claimed to be a moral man.
[22:56] <01Kit> <Megumi> Who would you suggest? Only Chad is that hardheaded in my opinion.
06[22:56] * 01Chad`Winters grunts, clearly not liking where this is going
[22:57] <01Kit> 6Megumi closes her eyes. 1"And yet, he was controlled by Spade as well-- and who is to say that he will not just puppeteer the pilot?"
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Chad bondin with her? Now that's hilarious. 6He chuckles in amusement.
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I could do it, if need be, though I'd rather not. I have enough of a time gap she can't play to my emotions
04[22:57] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Angela never existed in my timeline
[22:57] <01Kit> <Megumi> Lucky.
[22:57] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I would be willing, if need be.
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> <Theron> I admit that I am filled with a quite amount of bile. I would be a poor choice. 6he notes, then leans back.
[22:58] <01Kit> 6Megumi peers at Darien. 1"I doubt you are immune to being puppeted as well."
[22:58] <01Chad`Winters> I'd have the best chance at controlling her completely. But if she gained anything from me, it could be bad.
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> My brain is wired differently now.
[22:58] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Technically I'm not brain damaged anymore right? So it may work. I would rather do it than anyon else.
[22:58] <01Kit> 6Megumi jerks, blinking. 1"No, Durran."
04[22:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Xanatos. "I believe if we are to save Angela Bennet's soul, and possiblely have her help us against Legacy, she will need someone that can try to heal her broken mind. She is insane."
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> It is why I volunteer.
[22:59] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> No. I refuse to give her access to you Erevis. I can help her, I can keep her calm. I know I can.
[22:59] <01Kit> <Megumi> No! Neither of you!
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> You said just now you did not care about her life. You cannot heal her mind with that attitude.
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien looks grim, probably having a candidate choice, but refusing to say who
[23:00] <01Kit> <Megumi> I will not allow either of you to be influenced!
[23:00] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I may not do it. But I'm not going to allow you too. I'm sorry, I will die before I let ha thappen.
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Megumi, then peers to the side
[23:00] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> I can do it. 6He notes with a shrug.
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Aya could do it
06[23:00] * 01Chad`Winters eyes Darien at that.
[23:00] <01Kit> 6Dawn pauses, peering around at a disturbance in the force.
[23:00] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Whoa whoa mate. Aya's just a kid.
[23:00] <01Chad`Winters> I'll do it before that.
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I say that from experience in my timeline. She has your ability to control dragoons, Chad, and Legacy can't affect her
[23:00] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Have you wondered why?
[23:01] <01Chad`Winters> Don't know anything about your timeline.
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Aya's mind is incapable of allowing itself to be controlled for any amount of time, or allowing fear or anger to cloud her for more than seconds. I watched it, it's why I modified my mind
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> It's also why Spade never took Aya over to get at you, I imagine
[23:02] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> That's alot to put on a young girl, Darien.
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> It is.
04[23:02] <01Kit> 6Dawn goes back to eyeing the two. 1"Which of you is Angela?"
04[23:02] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Also, if Angela has any shame, it would be for letting Aya down, I imagine. The one person who always sees the best in you
01[23:02] <01@Angela> * They remain definatly unconcious as Dawn tries to interrogate the sleeping evil.
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya is silent, peering at the floor
[23:03] <01Kit> <Dawn> ...CHIP, can you wake them up?"
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns, clearly not about to volunteer Aya for such a thing
[23:03] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> No.
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> <CHIP> If the Captain wishes it
[23:03] <01Kit> <Dawn> Ask. I don't care.
[23:03] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Dawn. I said no.
[23:03] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Like I said Chad, I'm going off my timeline. I don't know if Aya's strong enough yet, she's your daughter, it's your choices.
06[23:03] * 01Chad`Winters crosses his arms, a stoic look on his face.
[23:04] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I think it's a bad idea. That's my vote. 6He says simply.
[23:04] <01Kit> <Dawn> I don't want Ayahime having anything to do with them.
[23:04] <01Chad`Winters> I think it's dangerous and risky.
04[23:04] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> All I know is this, and I'm going off what facts I have available. Angela is a dragoon, pilots have influence. Spade has clearly touched Angela's mind in some way for them to work so well together
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> It may be our only thread
[23:05] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Well if Aya thinks she can handle, she should. But not point in making the bird.
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> ... I'd be willing to try.
[23:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya says this, her voice somehow not breaking
[23:05] <01Kit> <Dawn> Geh! I'll do it! If it gives any chance at bringing that lout out of hiding.
[23:06] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> It's your choice, luv. You're the only one that can make your own choices, yeah?
06[23:06] * 01Chad`Winters takes a breathe as he studies his daughter. 1"And how long would we keep the bond?
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Dawn. 6* She looks at him sternly. "What if he took control of you? I'd never forgive myself."
04[23:06] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> If we're just after stopping Spade, until we kill him. If we want to try to get Angela to help against Legacy, ... indefinitely.
[23:06] <01Kit> <Dawn> He could do it anyway, whether you do or not.
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis crosses her arms.
[23:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face, clearly not enjoying this.
[23:06] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Dawn. You're angry right now, I feel it. I can stay calm about it, I think
[23:07] <01Kit> <Dawn> Spade is not above taking hostages, obviously. If you bond, then naturally your father and I, right?
[23:07] <01Chad`Winters> And what about fail safes?
04[23:07] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Fail safes - a bomb in Angela's head and a tazer in Aya. Knock AYa out, blow Angela's head off.
[23:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis grimaces.
[23:07] <01Kit> <Dawn> You can't 'protect' us by doing this. Make no mistake. And this woman's legacy is nothing but misery and suffering. I don't want you tied to a fate like that.
[23:08] <01Chad`Winters> It's not Aya I don't have faith in.
[23:08] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> If it's what Aya wants to do, I can't say no. But I don't like this. I'm making that clear. 6He notes.
[23:08] <01Chad`Winters> Do we still plan on keeping her in cryo until we need her?
[23:08] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not wish for her to do it either, I would prefer to do it myself, but it would seem each of us would be against another doing it
[23:08] <01Kit> <Megumi> The curse of love.
[23:08] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> It would be safest. Aya can work on healing her mind during missions and go from there, as far as I'm concerned.
[23:08] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yeah. 6He rubs his face.
[23:09] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Keeping her up 24/7 is too risky.
[23:09] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> I have a question. Is it possible to bond with sam too?
[23:09] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I have no idea.
[23:09] <01Kit> <Megumi> Sammael remains linked to her regardless.
[23:09] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Alexander would know, I imagine, but his head got knocked
[23:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya steps to Dawn, touching hhis shoulders, and speaks to him, and Chad.
04[23:09] <01Chad`Winters> I'll say it right now, I don't like the idea of giving Angela what she wants, especially something she doesn't have any right to.
04[23:10] <01Kit> <Megumi> In my opinion Sammael is Angela's 'Beta.'
[23:10] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Sam had full control of herself, she was communicating through a datapad, Megumi.
04[23:10] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I want to try this. I'll admit, I'm so mad at Angela for betraying my trust, but... I love you all so much more, and if we can help her, and help ourselves, and stop Spade so none of you get hurt, and what happened to Fiore never happens again, I'd do this a thousand times over
[23:10] <01Kit> <Megumi> Oh. I know." 6She peers to the side, looking annoyed.
[23:11] <01Kit> 6Dawn clenches his teeth slightly, making a face. 1"..."
[23:11] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I'd like your blessings, though, I'll admit. 6* She tells both of them
[23:11] <01Chad`Winters> You know I'll stand behind your decision no matter what.
[23:11] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I will as well. Your will is strong, and I respect that
[23:12] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Now we just need to figure out which one is Sam.
[23:12] <01Kit> <Dawn> Leave it to me.
[23:12] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I have been reading their minds. Let me see if Dawn Allighiori and I are in agreement, however, to be doublely safe.
[23:12] <01Chad`Winters> Look for the one with the chip. 6He puts a hand around his daughter, hugging her
[23:12] <01Kit> 6Dawn still looks annoyed, but relaxes enough to brush his hair back and lean toward Aya, gazing at her curiously before giving her a kiss.
[23:12] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> And the chip, as well. 6* She nods to Chad
[23:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks in complete shock
[23:13] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I could just ask her something that's happened over the last few nigths. She should know.
[23:13] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Chad Winters. I wish to put Eve Summers back into designing protocols to protect us. That would mean I need you to run engineering again
06[23:14] * 01Chad`Winters rubs his daughters back as he looks at Erevis. 1"If that's what you feel.
[23:14] <01Kit> <Dawn> ..." 6He stands up and peers to the side. 1"Just need to wake them. Erevis, see which one reacts to what I say."
[23:14] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> It is. Your actions during this have been ... perfect. 6* She bows.
[23:15] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Everyone, please be ready, as we are going to wake them, and lower the field.
06[23:15] * 01Chad`Winters nods, but doesn't make any other reaction other than that.
[23:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods to Caduceus, who shifts and taps a few buttons on his datapad.
[23:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pulls out a pistol, while Drasek hops to his feet, ready.
[23:15] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> ... Everyone might want to eye each other ni case Spade takes someone over and shoots us
[23:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Xanatos dryly
[23:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos smiles slightly. 1Did I apologize for that yet?
[23:16] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> Must have slipped your mind
[23:16] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I was thinking it, I promise.
06[23:16] * 01Chad`Winters stands protectively near his daughter, his hand resting on his modified gun
04[23:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* Sam and Angela would awaken
[23:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus watches everyone from his seat, still a bit sluggish, he keeps a pistol in his lap though.
[23:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena tenses, standing in front of Megumi
[23:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Noname leans forward, prepared
01[23:17] <01@Angela> * They both blink, slowly getting their bearings, almost in sync they look down at their legs when they realize something is amiss.
04[23:17] <01Kit> 6Dawn turns to them, and closes his eyes so they can't tell to whom he's actually speaking to. 1"Angela Bennet, we've reached a decision, and I personally have as well. I said I would help you, and look what you've done. Willingly. I have no choice. I have volunteered to become your pilot-- we can't allow you to do as you please any longer. I will not. Any longer."
[23:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at them both
01[23:17] <01@Angela> * They both slowly stare at him, one looks up to the others while the other keeps staring at him.
[23:18] <01Kit> <Dawn> If you refuse, your lives are both forfeit. And if you disbelieve me, well, you have seen the ends to which I am pushed already when you looked down, I should say. I am at my final nerve and wit.
04[23:18] <01Kit> <Dawn> What say you, Angela Bennet?
02[23:19] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) Quit (Quit: Client Exited)
01[23:20] <01@Angela> * The one staring at him speaks. "You're really going to threaten me with Sammael's life?"
[23:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes, having determined who is who
[23:20] <01Kit> <Dawn> I would, if I were truly going to bond with you.
[23:20] <01Kit> 6Dawn opens his eyes peering at her. 1"It was my decision, but I was overturned."
[23:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* A medical alarm goes off in the other room
[23:21] <01Kit> 6Dawn peers toward the alarm.
[23:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances up slightly, but keeps his eyes on the two. 1 What's going on?
01[23:21] <01@Angela> * The other blinks and looks towards the room. "What... what's that?"
04[23:21] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> The one speaking to you is Angela Bennet. Raise the fields. 6* She turns quickly; Dawn would get a feel - Spade is in the other room
[23:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien turns -it's coming from Fiore's room
[23:21] <01Kit> 6Dawn hurries to the back, heading for the feeling.
[23:21] <01Kit> <Dawn> No... No, no!
[23:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks and runs for the room.
[23:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis tries to run, but falls, her body giving out.
[23:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos jerks to catch her before she hits the floor.
[23:22] <01Kit> 6Megumi tries to catch Erevis, but stumbles.
06[23:22] * 01Chad`Winters quickly unholsters his mod. gun, eyeing the direction they're going
[23:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya goes pale, rushing after Dawn; as they enter, they'd see a Famfrit standing there, having given lethal dosages of painkillers to Fiore
[23:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena takes Megumi to steady her. Darien busts in
[23:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek blurs forward to pin the famfrit to the wall.
[23:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus raises the fields on the girls.
[23:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Famfrit goes limp, then looks confused
01[23:22] <01@Angela> Sam> "What's happening?"
06[23:23] * 01Chad`Winters keeps up with Aya.
[23:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves Erevis towards the room.
01[23:23] <01@Angela> * Angela just looks around as though off in another place.
[23:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya enters the room, rushing to Fiore's convulsing body
[23:23] <01Kit> 6Dawn quickly enters and takes the needle, reversing the syringe quickly
[23:23] <01Kit> <Dawn> Damn it, no, no. No.
[23:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek grits his teeth and growls. 1Damnit. DAMNIT. 6He holds the famfrit still, glancing towards Dawn.
[23:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya grabs Fiore, trying to use Megumi's abilities to stop the lethal dosages of pain killers, but pauses as Fiore's lifesign flatlines
[23:24] <01Kit> <Dawn> The other Famfrit! Get him!
06[23:24] * 01Chad`Winters eyes go wide at that and he shifts over to her body, sliding his hand along her body until he finds a nerve cluster and hits it
[23:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis tries to work her way in as well. "What can I do to help?" 6 *Erevis motions Xan to get Noname
[23:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances around, propping Erevis near the wall, to go and get Noname.
[23:25] <01Kit> <Dawn> Overdose. Venomous bloodstream!
[23:25] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Save her!
[23:25] <01Kit> 6Megumi supports Erevis, making a wince as she hears.
[23:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore's body keeps convulsing, even with flatlines; Chad's move does nothing it seems . Aya keeps working
[23:25] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I don't know what to do...oh god...there's so much to focus on...
06[23:25] * 01Chad`Winters shifts to hold her down
[23:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron continues to watch the two girls, as Does Marcus.
[23:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis moves over and touches her, trying to help AYa
01[23:25] <01@Angela> * Sammael is squirming with increasing nervousness, Angela looks over at her.
[23:25] <01Chad`Winters> Focus on the pain killer.
[23:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos motions to nonamme. 1We need whatever help you can.
[23:25] <01Kit> <Dawn> Focus on the circulatory before it enters the heart and brain, the rest doesn't matter!
[23:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Noname looks up from his chair, then at Megumi, then gets up and moves
[23:26] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Okay.
[23:26] <01Chad`Winters> Isis, work on getting oxygen to her brain
[23:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis nods
[23:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena merowls sadly. "I am useless..."
[23:26] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos eyes his hand as he moves after noname, sighing. 1Not as useless as having the abilility but no knowledge on how to use it.
[23:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore's body keeps trying to convulse but is held down by Chad, allowing the girls to work
[23:26] <01Kit> 6Dawn eyes the syringe full of mostly blood and tosses it aside, he puts his ear to Fiore's chest, sweating.
[23:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya is forcing the heart to beat
[23:27] <01Chad`Winters> Dawn, hold her feet down.
[23:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Noname enters and touches the girl, too, working on removing the lethal dosages
[23:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves over to hold the feet, sicne Dawn is preoccupied.
[23:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis reaches an arm around Megumi
[23:27] <01Kit> 6Dawn holds her head rather than her feet, since it's brain damage and the neck that usually becomes a problem for convulsing people.
[23:28] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> I hate this man. Very much
[23:28] <01Kit> <Megumi> Yes. I understand.
[23:28] <01@DeathStar> <Famfrit> I--what happened? Why am I here?
[23:28] <01Kit> <Dawn> Get out!
[23:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Famfrit quivers
[23:29] <01@Xanatos> <Drasek> Keep quiet. 6He warns to the Famfrit, moving to take him/her out to Caduceus.
[23:29] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Dad. Do your heart...thing now
[23:29] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Aya says ragged, and Isis looks like she's about to pass out
06[23:29] * 01Chad`Winters shifts his hand over to the same cluster and jams his finger into it hard
[23:29] <01@DeathStar> 6* Fiore's body jerks and it begins to beat normally.
06[23:30] * 01Chad`Winters eyes the monitor. 1"We should get her hooked up to a machine to filter the blood to make sure it's cleaned out
[23:30] <01@DeathStar> 6 *Aya steps back, apparantly not as strong as Isis and Noname. She gives Dawn an apologetic, guilty look
06[23:30] * 01Chad`Winters glances to his daughter and nods. 1"You did great, peanut."
[23:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya falls into a seat, pale
[23:30] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek moves back in, moving over to Fiore's side.
[23:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* Noname lets go, too weak to continue, having been working on others all day. He eyes Isis now
[23:30] <01Kit> 6Dawn puts his forehead to Fiore's and immediately tries grasping her mind before it's lost to coma or digresses
06[23:30] * 01Chad`Winters steps back so Drasek has room and he kneels by his daughter, checking her over
01[23:31] <01@Angela> * Angela, meanwhile continues to stare stoically at Sammael, who continues to squirm, trying not to look at her.
[23:31] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I have to do this even more now, Dad. 6* She tells him, as if this is proof of how they can't let Spade be free
[23:31] <01Chad`Winters> Yeah, I know you do. 6He takes her hand, squeezing it
[23:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos lets go and rubs his face. 1Let's do this, then.
[23:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Noname gets the machines to filter the blood
[23:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Dawn would only get a message from Spade, left there. It's a vision of the future. It ends with Dawn's death, at the dead body of Aya
[23:33] <01Kit> <Dawn> Fuck you. The future isn't written.
[23:33] <01Chad`Winters> I won't let anything happen to you, Aya.
[23:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Isis passes out on top of Fiore as Noname arrives, hooking up Fiore. She seems stable, but it's hard to say how her mind is
[23:33] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> I know, Daddy. I'll do the same for you all.
[23:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves over to lift Isis up into his arms.
[23:33] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> I hate this ship. 6He says sullenly, leaning his head back on his chair.
[23:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at Chad and Aya. "She'll need to be fully rested for this. We shouldn't attempt this until tomorrow. Which means we all need to find a way to protect ourselves tonight."
01[23:34] <01@Angela> Sammael> "S-Since everyone knows I'm me... c-can I be moved now please?"
[23:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks back at Sammael.
[23:34] <01Chad`Winters> Just promise me, you won't fall for her tricks. 6He looks at Darien and nods. 1"You could have Chip replicate a few of my devices.
[23:34] <01Kit> 6Dawn keeps trying with Fiore. 1"Oneesama. Oneesama, I don't care... use my body. Please. Just don't..."
[23:34] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> If CHIP's compromised, replicated devices could be faulty.
[23:34] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek holds Fiore's hand, watching her and Dawn.
[23:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya moves over to Dawn, putting an arm around him to hold him
[23:35] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos hmms. 1We need to do this the old fashioned way. We'll all bunk up in medbay and keep 3 people on watch at all times.
[23:35] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> We need people who can't be taken over to watch us
[23:35] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> And who exactly can't be taken over?
[23:36] <01@DeathStar> <Darien> I want to say myself, but I can't be sure - my brain is modified, but that was against Legacy.
01[23:36] <01@Angela> * Sammael looks over at them, trying to ignore Angela, who doesn't stop staring.
06[23:36] * 01Chad`Winters stands up now. 1"If I know what to expect, I think I can protect myself with my devices help.
[23:36] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Looks like I'll be sleeping. 6He notes with a sigh.
[23:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves to check on Isis
[23:36] <01Chad`Winters> Aya needs all the sleep she can get.
[23:36] <01Kit> <Dawn> Please check on Isis and Katrina.
[23:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to Erevis, holding her in his arms. 1I think she just needs some sleep. 6He notes.
[23:37] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She brushes back Isis' bangs, checking her over
[23:37] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Dawn....
[23:37] <01@DeathStar> <ERevis> Yes.
[23:37] <01Kit> <Dawn> We don't need a repeat.
[23:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena hops up. "Will check on them. Protect them."
[23:37] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Strong kid you got there. 6He says with a smile.
01[23:37] <01@Angela> Sammael> "May I make a suggestion...?" *still sounding nervous*
[23:37] <01Chad`Winters> Plus if someone tries to dope me with pain killers, I'm sure I still have a high tolerance.
[23:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron leans forward to eye Sam.
[23:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus eyes Sam
[23:38] <01Kit> <Dawn> Lock all zones. We don't need civilians being used as tools.
[23:38] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> That's a good idea, Dawn.
[23:38] <01@DeathStar> <Alexander> .... I'll watch first shift. 6* He steps out of his room, looking worse for wear. "Chad can watch with me."
[23:38] <01Chad`Winters> Works for me. 6He nods to Alexander
[23:38] <01@DeathStar> <Alexander> I took drugs to make myself immune to Spade, after all
01[23:38] <01@Angela> Sammael> "You don't nessecarily need people who can resist... you just need to create a situation where obvious signs of possession become clear. Don't move from certain positions, keep clear of dangerous weapons or impliments."
[23:39] <01Kit> <Megumi> Is she okay, beloved?
[23:39] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> She is stressing her body, but will recover with rest.
[23:39] <01Kit> <Megumi> ...Good.
[23:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena moves to check on everyone in the medical bay. Darien moves to get people called into medical bay, and Erevis shifts to get the zones ready to be locked.
[23:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Alexander takes a seat on a bed. "And if I suspect anyone like the girl says, I'll stun them."
[23:39] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves after Athena, to put Isis with baby Isis.
[23:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus looks at Marcus. "Come to my office, son." 6 *His tone is almost gentle, which is scarier probably
[23:40] <01Kit> <Dawn> It might be prudent to lock security access. If Erevis is taken over, you don't want her to have all-inclusive access until the appointed time.
[23:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus works his way to his office
[23:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus arches a brow and moves after Caduceus.
[23:40] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Alexander Cran and Chad Winters. I will give you access to command codes for tonight in case I am taken over
[23:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron pages Naji, asking her to come to Medbay for him.
06[23:41] * 01Chad`Winters nods to Erevis, then looks at Aya. 1"Aya, you should get some sleep. We'll watch over you."
[23:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, peering at Dawn worriedly, then moves to find an empty room nearby
[23:41] <01Kit> <Dawn> ...Triad. Smart." 6He sighs, peering at Aya. 1"Stay here..? I'll watch both."
[23:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek doesn't say anything while he sits there, not bothering Dawn, but keeps Fiore's hand.
[23:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, then nods to Dawn, smiling
[23:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus sits at his desk, holding Katrina's file
[23:42] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Shut the door.
[23:42] <01Chad`Winters> Dawn. You're going to need to get some sleep too.
[23:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena looks at Xanatos as they finish with the Isises.
[23:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus shuts the door then glances to Caduceus. 1It's bad, isn't it?
[23:42] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Okay?
01[23:42] <01@Angela> Sammael> "And if I can request again... please seperate me from her."
[23:42] <01Kit> <Dawn> Heh. Why?" 6He shakes his head. 1"So I can be fully-utilized? I'm nothing but a tool."
[23:42] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Just trying to get the bad thoughts out of my mind. 6he notes with a sigh, rubbing his head.
[23:43] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> ... She'll never be able to have kids again, Marcus.
[23:43] <01Chad`Winters> Because you need to clear your head and if stay awake all night, you'll make mistakes.
[23:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron sends a message to Naji to ask her to get there for him before it's locked down.
[23:43] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Dawn. You're not a tool. I'm counting on you, okay.
[23:43] <01Kit> <Dawn> As if I could sleep..
[23:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* Naji pokes her head in
[23:43] <01@DeathStar> <Naji> Here.
[23:43] <01Chad`Winters> 6SPoC takes a seat against wall.
[23:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus' eyes widen and he reaches out to try and catch himself. 1N...no, no that's all she wanted. All she ever wanted. 6He put a hand to the bridge of his nose, looking upset now.
[23:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron smiles slightly. 1good.
[23:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus leans back in his seat. "The damage she took is irreversible. She already had problems, and the debris..I'm sorry. It's not something we can replicate, either, like a limb."
[23:44] <01Chad`Winters> I think you can. But if you think you can go up against Spade, exhausted and a cloudy head. Don't be surprised when you wind up causing more pain then helping.
[23:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena gives him a quick hug
[23:44] <01Kit> 6Dawn frowns, looking away from Chad in annoyance. A lot of good being rested did the first time anyway.
[23:44] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> T-There's nothing? 6He wipes at his eyes slightly, clearly crushed.
[23:45] <01@DeathStar> <Aya> Lets rest together. 6* She offers Dawn. "I admit, I might have trouble sleeping, too. IT would be nice to be next t oyou."
[23:45] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I'm afraid not
01[23:45] <01@Angela> * Angela remains silent the whole time, she inally looks away from Sam, who seems to get a little better when she does. She eyes the others quietly, her face for once, completely blank.
[23:45] <01Kit> 6Dawn blinks, peering at her, but nods slowly.
[23:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy stirs in her bed in pain
[23:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya moves over to find a medical bay next to Fiore's and gets on it
[23:45] <01Chad`Winters> Don't forget. I'll be watching.
[23:45] <01Kit> <Freyja> Billy..?
[23:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and pats Athena. 1Thanks for being here for me. It helps not being totally alone.
[23:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart steps into the medical bay with supplies and food
[23:45] <01Kit> 6Dawn stares slowly at Chad, then sighs, shaking his head, smiling weakly.
[23:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Naji moves to join Theron
[23:46] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Not alone.
04[23:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves to step up to Angela, peering at her coldly.
[23:46] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> ...damnit. 6He slumps down into the chair, putting his face into his hands. 1She's going to be crushed.
[23:46] <01Chad`Winters> 6Loki steps in, bottle and a high ball in his hands.
[23:46] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> We will work on replicating your legs, Sammael Hendricks. I am sorry you had to suffer, and thank you for your aid in saving Ao
01[23:46] <01@Angela> * Angela looks back at her, completely devoid of emotions.
[23:46] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> Freyja ..momma?
[23:46] <01Kit> <Freyja> Yes. I'm here...
[23:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Iceheart moves to peer into BIlly's room, but doesn't interrupt.
01[23:47] <01@Angela> Sammael> "It's nothing... not compared to Ao's life."
[23:47] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> You three okay?
[23:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron gives Naji a smile, relieved that she's okay
[23:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy looks at her, clearly only worried for her, Marcus and Kat
06[23:47] * 01@Angela mumbles something.
04[23:47] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> Angela Bennet. I wish you to consider my next words.
[23:47] <01@Xanatos> 6* Drasek puts his head against Fiore's hand while he holds it, closing his eyes.
[23:47] <01Kit> <Freyja> Three..?" 6She jerks. 1"...Yes, we're fine. You and Katrina are hurt worst..."
[23:47] <01@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I am sorry, Marcus. 6* He sounds like he means it
06[23:47] * 01@Angela focuses on her like turning her attention from something else.
[23:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus slowly glances up and nods once. 1I..yeah..thanks. 6He pushes himself to his feet, wiping at his eyes again.
06[23:48] * 01Chad`Winters grabs a stool and sits on it now, the look on his face showing he's thinking deeply
[23:48] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I guess not. But it can feel that way sometimes.
[23:49] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> You probably believe we are at fault for your state - we drove you to this. We did not give you a chance, that this is a self-fulfilling prophecy. I do not believe such things. I believe we can be whoever we want to be, even if no one else believes that, if we believe it, it will be so. It is why I worked so hard to change. You did not. You used Alpha Zephyr, molested her - raped her, took her blood, her will, her power.(*cont)
[23:50] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> You almost killed Katrina McCormick and others, all seeking power - not the power to protect, but the power to consume. But I cannot find it in myself to kill you - my reasons are not a moral completely, I believe you can help us defeat the Legacy, despite your sins. I believe you can help us stop William Spade, despite your attempts to save his life. Consider this- Aya Winters is going to become your pilot (cont)
[23:50] <01Kit> <Megumi> Durran... Do you still carry that weapon around?
[23:50] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus reaches out to take Cad's shoulder. 1You look like hell. Get some sleep. 6He's clearly forcing his joke as he turns and steps out, moving for Katrina's room.
[23:51] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Weapon? 6He glances up towards megumi.
[23:51] <01@DeathStar> <Erevis> She believes there is in good in you, I read her mind - my powers are back thanks to this incident. If you break her trust, or harm her, or even remotely endanger her life, I will give you no more chances to prove yourself. She is the only one on your side now
[23:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to walk off
[23:51] <01Kit> <Megumi> Yes. Your staff I modified to take the form of many.
[23:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus watches him go. Aya motions to DAwn to lay down by her
[23:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos motions towards his coat. 1Yes.
[23:52] <01Kit> 6Dawn hesitates, then moves over slowly to do so, more weary than nervous now.
06[23:52] * 01@Angela looks down, she shakes, in sorrow or in laughter, it's hard to tell, no tears fall, her eyes distant, her expressions changing as though she's fighting with herself. She grips her hands into fists, then lets them go, finally, she stops, looking distant once more.
[23:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks pale, he takes a second to poke his head in Billy's room to check on her.
[23:52] <01Kit> <Megumi> I know there is a rift betwen us. But could we pick up where we left off for a little while? It might help us both rest.
[23:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Aya just puts one arm around him, not romantically, but more for comfort.
[23:53] <01Kit> <Freyja> Marcus! Come in.
[23:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy looks at Marcus. ".... Something bad happened. I can tell. I can feel it."
[23:53] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> If you need the help to sleep. 6He says with a nod.
[23:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena peers at the two, toeing the ground
[23:53] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> It's nothing to worry about right now. I just wanted to make sure you were safe.
[23:53] <01Kit> 6Megumi pauses, then peers to the side slowly. 1"...Yes. I do."
[23:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos reaches into his coat and pulls out the small rod.
[23:54] <01Kit> 6Megumi coughs slightly. 1"Athena, you can be his partner."
[23:54] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Partner...?
[23:54] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> ... 6* She just nods. "I tried to kill her for you."
[23:54] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> I failed.
01[23:55] <01@Angela> * Sammael looks up as though the speech emboldened her, she eyes Angela. "I am not a puppet. I am my own person, and I am certainly not you Angela. You want to stop being afraid of being replaced, you have the power, take your own face for once." *she looks away and glowers*
[23:55] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> It's okay Billy. I'm sorry I couldn't be stronger for the both of you. 6He moves in to give her a hug.
[23:55] <01Kit> <Megumi> Mm. I wanted to teach Xanatos how to fight with the weapons I used to use. You use the same, so it should be fine. You have a lot of adrenaline, I bet.
[23:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena tilts her head at Xanatos. "Feel antsy, yes."
[23:56] <01Kit> <Freyja> Marcus... your aura's different from earlier. Are you sure it's not important..?
[23:56] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> ... 6* She looks like she wants to scream. She probably knows, since she feeds off loss. "I sensed someone would die today. If I could give life, .... but I can just feel death."
[23:56] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> You two need to rest, I don't want to trouble you for now.
[23:57] <01Kit> 6Freyja tilts her head at Billy. 1"Give... life?"
[23:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shrugs. 1Okay.
[23:57] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> ....
[23:57] <01Chad`Winters> Where's Eve? 6He glances over to Alex now
[23:57] <01Kit> <Freyja> Katrina didn't get worse, did she!?" 6She panics slightly.
[23:57] <01@DeathStar> <Alexander> She should be coming soon. Erevis should know
[23:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus holds Billy tight for a second. 1I wouldn't have you any other way Andrea.
[23:58] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> I didn't feel Katrina's death. Not exactly. Just her loss.
06[23:58] * 01Chad`Winters nods
[23:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Erevis works her way to a bed and sits, looking in pain, eyeing the white strands of hair
[23:58] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> ...she can't have children. The damage ruined any chances of that. 6He says to Freyja, since she's starting to freak.
[23:58] <01Kit> <Megumi> Well. We should start with the zanbatou, then." 6She hrmphs, trying to cover up her own insecurity by ordering them to use the oversized and most awkward blades first as a distraction.
[23:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien walks up to Erevis ,talking to her about something. She tilts her head, but nods
[23:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena tilts her head. "Big weapons right away?"
[23:59] <01Kit> 6Freyja pauses, rather still, then looks completely depressed. 1"No..."
[23:59] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos holds out the rod, letting it take it's shape, eyeing it carefully. 1It'll make the smaller ones feel lighter. More speed.
06[23:59] * 01Chad`Winters peers around. 1"Looks like nobody will be sleeping anytime soon." 6He notes to Alex
[23:59] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien moves and uses the teleporter pad; moments later Eve arrives with a few Famfrits. Iceheart moves to Loki, not wanting to interrupt
[23:59] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> I hate this. I don't know what to say or do for people in pain
[23:59] <01@DeathStar> <Alexander> I don't know; Aya looks comfy. 6* He eyes Dawn dangerously
02[00:00] * Day changed to Friday, July 24th 2009.
[00:00] <01Kit> <Megumi> ...Yeah. I had that in mind. Heh..." 6She peers to the side, then eyes them. 1"Alright. First to strike unguarded opponent winds the match.
Session Time: Fri Jul 24 00:00:00 2009
06[00:00] * 01@Angela slowly looks over at Sammael, who seems relaxed now, she frowns, then looks away again.
[00:00] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm sorry to bother you two. Just rest up, we'll deal with this soon enough. 6He gives Billy a slight kiss on the forehead and moves for Kat's room now.
04[00:00] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> ... 6* She waits for him t ogo, then seethes with rage, murderous rage toward Angela
[00:00] <01Kit> 6Dawn is staring at the ceiling, rather empty. If he notes Alexander's look or emotion, it's lost on showing it.
[00:00] <01Chad`Winters> <Loki> It was hard at first for me. But I've learned if you tell them you feel for there loss and that if there's anything you can do for them, ask, it helps.
[00:00] <01@DeathStar> <Iceheart> And do you actually follow up on that?
[00:00] <01Kit> <Freyja> ...Billy. Let it go.
[00:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy jerks, letting the rage go
[00:00] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> But-
[00:01] <01Kit> <Freyja> It'll just beget more loss and pain.
[00:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena forms a zanbatou crystal weapon
[00:01] <01Chad`Winters> Well we all make mistakes. 6He notes drolly
[00:01] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> ... it's what I feed off of anyway. I was more alive today than in years
[00:01] <01Kit> 6Freyja leans over, placing her head against Billy. 1"...I won't deny you being you. Please don't deny me being me."
[00:01] <01Chad`Winters> <Loki> The first one is always free. After that, well...6He trails off, not needing to go off into how he works with her
[00:01] <01@DeathStar> <Alexander> He might have a penis, but I doubt he knows how to use it, at least.
[00:01] <01Kit> <Freyja> Together we're just enough, right..?" 6She sounds half-hearted.
[00:02] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> Right. 6* She nods.
[00:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps into Kat's room, moving to sit by her bed.
[00:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina is still asleep, but stirs a bit, opening her eyes. "Hey, you..."
[00:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos smiles slightly and tests Athena's defense.
[00:02] <01Chad`Winters> Well if he does and he tries to, you can have first crack at him.
[00:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* She shifts the weapon around one handed to parry, despite it being so big
[00:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus reaches out to take her hand. 1How's my firey red head?
[00:02] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> High on pain killers. Caduceus gave me the good stuff. ... are you okay? The bar?
[00:02] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Oh crap. 6he says with a sigh, already knowing this means she's better than him.
[00:02] <01Kit> <Megumi> Slow. Durran, yours is a shaped energy weapon so it lacks the weight. Yet she can parry you. Hrmph.
[00:03] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Trained with for 30 years.
01[00:03] <01@Angela> * Sammael looks out at the others a bit then closes her eyes, she lets out a sigh and looks at a wall.
[00:03] <01@DeathStar> <Alexander> Thank you. 6* He moves off as Eve steps up to Chad
[00:03] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> You okay?
[00:03] <01Kit> <Megumi> We will make sure Durran makes up for the loss in time. En garde!
[00:03] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm fine. The bar...can be rebuilt. You're all I'm worried about.
[00:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos sighs at being bitched at, stepping back to prepare for Athena's attack.
04[00:04] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, I'm fine. Just give me a few days. It was Angela, I hear - I knew something felt wrong about her. I wish I figured it out faster.
06[00:04] * 01Chad`Winters looks over at Eve. 1"Yeah I am. How bout you?
[00:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena swings the blade at Xanatos slowly, probably to make him feel better
[00:04] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> I'm fine. Nothing happened to me today.
[00:04] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> No one trusted her but we all overlooked it. Don't blame yourself.
[00:05] <01Chad`Winters> I guess you lucked out then.
[00:05] <01Kit> 6Megumi doesn't say anything about Athena going easy, probably because of Xanatos' sigh, feeling she's already bothering him again
[00:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos parries and tilts his head. 1Oh don't take it easy on the old man. If I'm going to learn, it's going to be the hard way.
[00:05] <01Kit> 6Megumi pauses, smiling a little at that.
[00:05] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> I had so much hate for Erevis, but even that eased up - but I never forgot what she did to this body when Spade was in it. And thinking she had no redemption and I never gave her a break
[00:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena hesitates
[00:06] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> It looks like you were right though Kat. She screwed us over, again.
[00:06] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> But--
[00:06] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> The bar can be rebuilt, at least.
[00:06] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'll heal. 6he says lightly, striking at her.
[00:07] <01Kit> <Megumi> increase your crystal's density by three times, Athena. You are likely not used to that sort of weight, it will become more even.
[00:07] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Yes. But...6He trails off, closing his eyes, he shifts to slide into the bed with her, making sure not to unhook anything as he takes her into his arms.
[00:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena leaps back and swings the zanbato down so fast against the floor that it creates a thunderous boom that the shockwave is what knocks XAnatos back
[00:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts to lean against him, placing her head against Marcus' chest, holding him.
[00:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos is sent rolling along, grunting slightly.
[00:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena winces worriedly, eyeing the floor, then Xan
[00:08] <01Kit> 6Dawn shifts after a while, closing his eyes with a long sigh, wrapping his arms around Aya, though it's more like a teddy bear.
[00:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve offers Chad a sandwich
[00:08] <01Kit> <Megumi> He can take more than that.
[00:08] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> I'm just glad they proved it wasn't you
[00:08] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> And that Eve wasn't hurt
[00:08] <01@DeathStar> *Aya
[00:09] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> Katrina. Caduceus told me that...6He swallows finding it hard to say. 1Well...what we were trying...isn't possible now.
[00:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, not saying anything, though her body stiffens a bit
[00:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pushes himself to his feet, looking fine. 1I once took a ridarium punch to the face. Only man ever to.
06[00:09] * 01Chad`Winters takes it. 1"Thanks, I haven't had a chance to eat anything all day." 6He nods. 1"Same here."
[00:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Marcus holds onto her tight, clearly upset and sad, but trying to be strong for her. 1I'm...so sorry.
[00:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Darien returns; once he does, Erevis locks out the commands for the pads, then heads to her room to recover
[00:10] <01@DeathStar> <Katrina> ... Why did she do it? ... because I was going to read Erevis' mind?
[00:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Her tone is calm, almost sad
[00:11] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> I don't think she knew -that- was going to happen. But the explosion...yeah it was to save herself...and Spade.
[00:11] <01Chad`Winters> Hopefully she won't be hurt either. 6He notes, a concerned look on his face now
[00:11] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> You mean Spade being out there.
[00:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina closes her eyes, taking in a deep breath.
04[00:12] <01Chad`Winters> That and she volunteered to be Angela's pilot so we can use her to find Spade and to fight Legacy.
[00:12] <01@Xanatos> <Marcus> W-we'll figure something out. I promise. No matter what I have to do.
[00:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Eve stares at Chad. "And you're letting her?"
[00:12] <01Chad`Winters> She's adamant about it.
[00:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods once, giving him a kiss to the chin, and just holds onto him tighter, not saying anything else
[00:12] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> ...
[00:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy speaks to Freyja. "Your captain is in the other room. I feel her."
04[00:13] <01Chad`Winters> I plan on installing a bomb to the base of Angela' neck.
[00:13] <01Kit> <Freyja> Yeah.
[00:13] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> That's comforting, except the fact Aya will be linked to her mentally and physically, or however a bond works
[00:14] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> You can go talk to her
[00:14] <01Kit> <Freyja> But..
[00:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos continues to train with Athena, getting beat up.
[00:14] <01Kit> 6Megumi comments, but is easier on the trash talk than she was before.
[00:14] <01Chad`Winters> The bond will only remain as long as we need it. Aya won't let herself get as tied together as Zephyr and Megumi are.
[00:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy looks down. She's clearly trying to be 'nice', but probably would rather Freyja stay.
[00:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Theron quietly leans against Naji, staring at his hand.
[00:15] <01Kit> <Freyja> She has her things, I have mine. I'm sure she understands. The fact she's nearby... I can appreciate that.
[00:15] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> While Zephyr and Megumi have something nice, that's probably because Megumi isn't a snake. The idea of Aya being connected to someone like that...
[00:15] <01Chad`Winters> I know.
[00:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy nods, then leans against Freyja. "I plan to figure out a way to help them."
[00:15] <01Kit> <Freyja> Katrina?
[00:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena attacks Xanatos relentlessly, building up a sweat due to her size
[00:16] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> Yes.
[00:16] <01Kit> <Freyja> ...About that..
04[00:16] <01Chad`Winters> I know Angela enough that she'll use this to try and get Aya to see her as family.
[00:16] <01Kit> <Megumi> Good job, sweetie.
[00:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses to press against with a parry. 1Jeez I'm...so slow.
[00:17] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> I could look like a baby, maybe. Never tried to get that young
[00:17] <01Kit> <Megumi> ..." 6She eyes the floor. 1"...You will get better."
[00:17] <01Kit> 6Freyja pats Billy's head. 1"...I have an idea."
[00:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena drops the sword on accident, creating a thunderous boom sound
[00:17] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> oops.
[00:17] <01Kit> <Megumi> Durran wins.
[00:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena jerks.
[00:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos jerks, digging at his ear. 1Oww. Loud.
[00:18] <01Chad`Winters> The only thing is, I don't know if Aya has it in her to see Angelas as nothing more than a tool.
[00:18] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> Aya can't see anyone as a tool, Chad.
[00:18] <01Kit> <Megumi> Even if it is technicality-- In a real fight, it would have been decided by your mistake. Durran wins this time.
[00:18] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> I know dragoons can be influenced by pilots, but can pilots be influenced by dragoons? Do we even know if it goes both ways really?
[00:18] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and poses.
[00:18] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> ... 6* She begins to sulk
[00:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos raspberries at Athena.
[00:19] <01Kit> 6Megumi laughs softly after a moment, shaking her head.
[00:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena puffs her cheeks.
04[00:19] * 01Chad`Winters rubs his face. 1"I don't know. I'm also worried that Angela will gain some of if not all of Aya's abilities.
[00:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos lets the zanbatou dissapate and pockets the rod. 1Wait till we get to the sword part. I'll win for sure.
[00:19] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> I hope you're serious about that bomb, Chad, I really am. I'll talk to Erevis directly if you need me to
[00:19] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> Without the technicality.
[00:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy eyes Freyja
04[00:20] <01Chad`Winters> I am serious. I'm also going to talk to Angela myself before this goes through.
[00:20] <01Kit> <Megumi> Round two will be chain daggers.
[00:20] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Hungry. 6* She whines
[00:20] <01Kit> 6Freyja blinks. 1"..S-Something wrong with me having an idea?"
[00:20] <01@DeathStar> <Billy> No. Just ... wondering what the idea is.
[00:20] <01Kit> <Megumi> ...You two sit. I will get us something to eat.
[00:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos tilts his head then glances to Athena, he shifts to lean against the wall.
[00:21] <01Kit> 6Freyja cuddles on Billy while she can get away with it. 1"...I'll tell you later."
04[00:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena sits down right there on floor, quiet in thought. She speaks up after Megumi is gone. "Was drugged by Angela once. Think she took blood from me?"
[00:22] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> What do you plan to say?
[00:22] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> I don't know. But it's possible.
[00:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena hesitates, as if ashamed, then goes quiet, not wanting to say what happened
[00:22] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> You can tell me anything Athena.
[00:22] <01Chad`Winters> Not sure yet, but I also don't see Erevis deciding it isn't a good idea.
[00:23] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> Don't remember much. She had catnip. Act funny with catnip. Was told did things to her. Not sure if true now. Not sure if want to remember.
[00:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Athena rubs at her throat, peering in the direction of Zephyr's room, then Erevis', probably thinking what happened to them
[00:24] <01@DeathStar> <Eve> ... God help us. 6* She mutters about the entire situation
[00:24] <01@Xanatos> 6* Xanatos frowns and moves to sit down beside her, putting his arm around her. 1I'm sorry. She'll pay for this one day, I promise.
[00:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Billy actually cuddles back
[00:25] <01@DeathStar> <Athena> My fault for not being stronger.
06[00:25] * 01Chad`Winters grunts, probably not one to believe in a god
[00:25] <01@Xanatos> <Xanatos> It's not your fault. People like her deserve to be punished. And I"m going to make sure it happens. 6He promises.
[00:25] <01@DeathStar> -TO BE CONCLUDED-
