<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-582.10.10
<DeathStar> Location: Earth Colony Replica
<DeathStar> 6* The Earth Colony is fairly far out from most of the happenings of Earth, but it's the perfect place to lose oneself such as Kane has tried doing since he was fired long ago. Today is a special day - and it begins here, at a park.
* `Kane sits on a bench, staring out at nothing in particular.
<DeathStar> <Voice from Behind> We need to talk, boy.
* `Kane jerks his head around at the voice.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade stands there, wearing his white clothes. He stares at Kane, then proceeds to punch him right in the face with enough force to lift him off the bench.
* `Kane gets clocked and lifts off the ground, jerking himself in the air to land on his feet. "What the fuck do you want with me?"
<DeathStar> 6* Spade steps slowly around the bnech to face Kane. "Today's a very special day, Kane. And you've fucked up. Literally."
<`Kane> I haven't did anything Spade. *he shakes his head, not knowing*
<Slasher> NRP: Haven't did?
<`Kane> NRP: Shhhh.
<DeathStar> <Spade> Really? 6He approaches Kane slowly. "You haven't done anything?"
<Seraphna> NRP: He loses grammar with brain damage
* `Kane shakes his head. "Why don't you educate me on what I did, since you obviously know more than I am." Spits a bit of blood to the ground, that punch wasn't a light one.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade throws another punch for Kane's head as he talks. "You fucked around, Kane. You fucked the wrong woman."
* `Kane jumps back to narrowly avoid the punch, "No you fucked up by getting caught."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Hah. 6He slides his foot along the ground, following the punch with a kick since he knew Kane would dodge. "That's not the point of this."
* `Kane takes the hit in the gut, not intending on it and lurches over, stepping back and spitting again. "Oh it isn't? You have some other reason for kicking my ass?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> Oh, this is just because I can't stand you. 6He says with a sneer. "The point of me being here is that you're so far into the game that you're in over your head."
<`Kane> I thought that me getting fired over Sera kicked me out of this little game. *he says matter of factly*
<DeathStar> <Spade> Ha ha ha ha ha. 6He steps back, eyeing Kane ruefully. "You're really stupid. You bonded with her. You're a player."
<`Kane> Bonded? *Kane's knowledge of Dragoon's goes no furthur than the schematics in his head* I don't know what that means.
<DeathStar> <Spade> You can pilot the Dragoon, you idiot. She's chosen you. She's chosen us. 6He stands there, his hands in his pockets as if he has nothing to fear.
* `Kane rubs the back of his head, "Well if you can "pilot" her too, then why are you even telling me about it?"
<DeathStar> <Spade> Because, it's down to me and you, boy. If I get control of her power ... well, do you really want to let that happen?
* `Kane sighs and shakes his head, "Why can't you just go shack up on some planet." He glances around, surveying the area.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade laughs. "Fine. I gave you your shot. It's time for a brave new world to start, Kane. Enjoy your stay here in this rat hole." 6He turns, throwing up his hand as he walks off.
<`Kane> ...W...wait! I just want to be with her...I'll do anything.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade stops, turning to look at Kane.
<Arhn> NRP: ~Force Persuade~ Spade and Kane really, REALLY like each other.
<`Kane> NRP: Least Kane isn't holding his Shaft. *eyes Slasher*
<Seraphna> NRP: Jackie demands Yaoi <.<
<`Kane> NRP: Sick fucks.
* `Kane eyes Spade. "I'm curious of something though."
<DeathStar> 6* Spade stands there, studying Kane.
<`Kane> If it is down to me and you...wouldn't you have been better off killing me back on the shuttle?
<DeathStar> <Spade> Brave new worlds can only be made through strength and power. So. Who has the power. You. Or me?
* `Kane crosses his arms eyeing Spade. "I guess we'll find out soon enough."
<DeathStar> <Spade> Indeed. You better find your way to her soon, Kane. If you "want" her so bad. 6He leans forward. "Because it's already begun."
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station
<DeathStar> 6* After the success of the pirate mission days ago, little has happened. But today is the 10th. A birthday for Serena Cran. And, much like every other day, it is completely uneventful.
* Arhn has long since recovered from the incident with the pirates as well...
* Ry` sits at his desk, writing down upon some documents he has recieved.
* Seraphna lays in bed, staring at the cieling, her feelings of foreboding have been growing day by day, she muses lightly on how different today is from last year.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits in the security office, silent in thought. He seems to be brooding today as usual.
* Cassandra_Arakawa is at her desk in the security office as well...
* Ry` glances at Warren. 14"Something wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Something doesn't feel right today.
* Xanatos`Durran is in his room and checks his datapad for messages, he punches the wall in anger, and slumps down onto his bed.
* Slasher sits infront of his terminal in the Security Office, going through paper work.
* Ry` checks on the current situation of the Realion planet with his datapad. 14"Well..that's almost everyday isn't it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Ry's datapad beeps with something important.
* Ry` blinks, bringing up the message.
<DeathStar> "It has begun. Dragoon Alphas are beginning to show the first signs of infection as the Alpha Baxter" - Starr
* Shiva sits infront of her terminal, working on some reports for The Cartel
* Ry` sighs, placing his datapad away. 14"Now I see what you mean Warren.."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Ry.
<DeathStar> 6* Sera's body seems a little warmer today, almost as if she's running a slight fever.
* Seraphna sighs, rolling over, normally she'd be out of bed long before.
<Ry`> 14"Do you have any news on the Realion planet?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> No. I don't.
<Ry`> 14"..Hmm I would have liked to see the havoc the pirate did..damn"
* Arhn leaves her quarters and crosses the distance between her room and the room that Sera is currently occupying, knocking lightly.
* `Kane has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Ry` writes something down on a piece of paper, as he says that.
<Seraphna> "Come in..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to look at the monitors, noting Arhn's movements. He pauses as his datapad beeps an urgent message. He reads it silently, raising an eyebrow.
<Ry`> 14"What's wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Nothing. Arakawa, you're in charge until Durran comes on duty. 6He stands up suddenly, exiting the room.
<Ry`> 14"So he knows.." 2Ry smirks lightly, before getting up himself..following him. Once in the hallway, he stares at Warren. 14"I take it..it's the virus.."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Yes, sir.
* Xanatos`Durran stares at the wall in front of him, a frown plastered to his face.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Virus? 6He stops, galncing back at Ry in confusion.
* Arhn enters Sera's quarters.
<Arhn> You are still in bed?
<Shiva> NRP: When did Sera get her own quarters back?
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Ry's room.
<Seraphna> "Yeah... feeling a bit under the weather..."
<Arhn> Oh? Your color is a touch off.
<Ry`> 14"Something I've been looking too.." 2He slides over Warren, placing the message into his pocket nondescreetly. On the piece of paper..it simply reads "Beware the Dragoons".
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, glancing at the paper, then seems to be thinking about something. "I need to go Earth to check on something. I'm going to be coming back as soon as possible. Keep an eye on Sera.
<Seraphna> "Yeah... bummer to get sick on my birthday... eh?"
* Xanatos`Durran eyes the alarm that suddenly rings out and disrupts the surrounding silence, he stands and moves to the door, stepping out into the hall. Xanatos rubs his neck as he steps down the hall.
<Ry`> 14"You don't need to tell me twice.."
<DeathStar> NRP: Alarm?
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Clock alarm.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: To tell him he has work.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns and moves off, moving quicker now after reading Ry's message. He makes it into the hanger in record time, checking out a shuttle.
* Xanatos`Durran steps up by Ry, passing him and moving for the officee.
* Slasher eyes the monitors, watching Warren boarding a shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns and moves up the ramp, inputing Earth's location. He closes the ramp.
<Arhn> Birthday?
* Ry` moves to his Room, stepping silently upon the metal corridor. He knocks on the wall next to the door, looking at Sera. 14"How are you feeling..?"
<Seraphna> "Yeah... it's my brithday today..." *she looks up and sighs, getting out of bed* "Just a little under the weather."
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle lifts up into the air and zooms out of the hanger, heading for Earth.
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the office and moves over to his console signing in, "Warren doing the diplomatic thing today?" he asks as he starts to get his files pulled up to check.
* Ry` pulls back slightly, starting to type something into his datapad. In the message is "Sera is showing signs of sickness, I figured you should know.." with that he sent it to Darien. 14"I wouldn't push yourself if I were you.."
* Arhn glances over at Ry, looking a touch concered about Sera's condition.
<DeathStar> 6* The datapad beeps again with a new message.
<Seraphna> "Don't worry about it... I've been sick before... this is nothing." *yawns a bit*
<Slasher> I do not know.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I don't know. Lt. commander, I am officially transferring command to you.
* Ry` clicks it open. 14"I think it might be.."
<DeathStar> Message: "I'm sending my assistant over to check it out. Make up some reason for her to be on the station. I'm going to check out the virus in the dragoons on my end."
<Ry`> 14"I have someone coming over, a doctor..I want to make sure it is nothing..stay here until then.."
* Xanatos`Durran glances between the two and then sits down in his seat, "Alright, thank you Lt." he pulls up his files and begins to check over them. "So who has patrol today?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Well, it would have been you...but...
<Seraphna> "Fine... can I use your console?"
<Ry`> 14"..sure, but are you going to use it to message your father?"
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his neck, "I can still patrol if neither of you would rather do it. I'm not to picky." he reads over a file while speaking.
<Seraphna> "Calling him, yes... I'm wondering why he hasn;t called me yet."
<Ry`> 14"I suggest holding back on that..."
<Xanatos`Durran> Nrp: Daddy....daddy wasn't there...
<DeathStar> 6* The security office gets an incoming message.
<Seraphna> "It'll be fine..."
* Xanatos`Durran perks up and moves over to recieve the message.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> You are in command, sir.
* Seraphna starts to enter in the information and dial out on a private Janus channel.
<DeathStar> 6* General Cran's face appears on the screen. "PAX Station, I am heading in for a inspection of the Earth facilities located there and to visit my daughter. My arrival will be in under thirty minutes."
* Slasher eyes Cran on the screen.,
* Xanatos`Durran grimaces, "Roger that." He closes the connection and glances back at Slasher and Cassandra. "Something is up, we need to be on guard."
* Seraphna enters in the call and waits. She coiuld have just sent a message but she wanted to see his face today.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...orders, sir?
<DeathStar> 6* General Cran's face appears on the screen. "I'll be arriving shortly in thirty minutes, Serena. Today is a very special day and we have a lot to discuss."
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his chin, "Well they haven't did anything wrong. But Cran showing up doesn't bode well...where is Warren?" He asks.
<Seraphna> "Sure thing Daddy."
* Ry` ears perk upon hearing that..he did not like that. Cran knew about the virus..
<Cassandra_Arakawa> He left the station, sir.
* Seraphna smiles, "I'm a little under the weather, so I'll be in Arhn's rooms."
* Arhn gives Ry a sharp glance and then nods to the door.
<Slasher> It is her birthday.....*he says it as a fact, not with something he cares about.
<DeathStar> <General Cran> I see. You are. Listen, Serena, this could be imp-- 6Suddenly his side of the screen begins to shake. Cran turns around, shouting out orders, and the word "Dragoon" is heard before it goes out completely
<Arhn> ...Ry...report this to the security office...now.
* Seraphna blinks, "Daddy...?"
<Ry`> 14"No..Stay here..as you can see..it is a matter of safety.."
* Xanatos`Durran sighs and rubs the back of his head, "Oh is it? Hmmm, then we shouldn't have nothing to worry about..." he frowns. "I still don't like Cran on this station with Warren away."
<Seraphna> "DA3405... happens today...?
* Slasher shakes his head. 1"I didn't say it like it was a good reason."
* Slasher stands up, moving over to the monitors and begins to eye them arefully.
<Ry`> 2He chuckles, crossing his arms. 14"I doubt it..but we will see.."
<Arhn> Ry!
<Xanatos`Durran> I know, I know. Let me know if anything suspicious happens. I'll be patrolling. *he stands and moves out into the hall*
<Ry`> 14"Arhn! Calm down.."
<Arhn> ...get word to the security office...that something is attacking the general.
<DeathStar> 6* An investigator shuttle arrives, sending the proper alert codes into the station computers.
* Slasher looks over at one of the screens, notifying this.
* Xanatos`Durran moves for the hanger, he decided he wanted to welcome Cran aboard.
<Ry`> 14"They will know shortly..Right now I am more worried about other..things"
<Seraphna> "Hmmm... why am I only feeling a slight discomfort if it's working that strongly..."
* Slasher turns and moves over to his terminal, allowing the shuttle to land
* Seraphna muses to herself, and sighs, waiting, making sure not to relax too much.
<Arhn> That is very irresponsible, Ry.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle lands in the hanger, powering down. It looks like an unmodified version of the shuttle that Darien would fly.
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the hanger as the shuttles lands, he eyes it, knowing it isn't cran.
<DeathStar> 6* The ramp lowers.
<Ry`> 14"No..I want to make sure I have soemthing correct before I jump the gun.."
<Arhn> And getting an investigation starting is so wrong?
* Xanatos`Durran stands there eyeing it.
<DeathStar> 6* Someone begins to walk down the ramp, an investigator military trenchcoat visible as they move down. The person stops, looking striaght across at Xanatos. "...." 6Katrina crosses her arms in silence.
<Ry`> NRP: Oh hell
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Well, well...looks liek this is going to be fun. *nods to the screen*
* Slasher turns around, looking at the screen.
* Xanatos`Durran puts his hand on his face. He looks back up to her, "....Katrina...what?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm here to see the Erusian officals. 6She says formally, walking along the hanger, knowing the way well enough.
<Slasher> *a slight smirk appears on his lips* Interesting.
<Xanatos`Durran> Is something wrong? *he asks confused*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not priviledged to speak about an investigation to you. 6She says to him, walking out of the hanger and down the hallways.
<Ry`> 14"No it is not...."
* Seraphna pages security.
* Slasher turns eyeing the page.
<Slasher> Who's it from Cassandra?
* Xanatos`Durran watches her walk out and then looks up at the hanger camera. He shakes his head.
<Ry`> 14"However I don't expect the people on the station will give two spits about Janus.."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Seraphna... *clicks the comm button* Yes?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina arrives outside Ry's door, knocking on it once. She stands there.
<Seraphna> "I believe my father's shuttle is under attack, probably by a rogue dragoon."
<Arhn> Bigger picture, Ry...
* Xanatos`Durran pulls up his comm, "Slasher, can you tell me why we have investigators on the station?"
* Slasher taps his comm. 1"No."
* Ry` opens the door, looking surprised at Katrinas face. 14"Arhn..then inform them.."
<Slasher> Tell her there's nothing we can do about it.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I'll look into it. *stands and walks over to Slasher and speaks over his shoulder into the comm* Sir, General Cran is under attack.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods to Ry, then motions for him to step out into the hallway.
<Seraphna> "...This would also mean there's a large threat near the station."
* Ry` slides outside, closing the door. 14"I didn't expect you would side with Darien..I am surprised.."
* Xanatos`Durran sighs, "Find out." he pauses and then rubs the back of his head, "We don't have enough security of assist."
* Slasher taps the comm. 1"We'll deal with it, if it comes."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I had proper motivation. 6She tells him, activating something in her pocket to blot out sound. She keeps her head tilted away from the camera. "Is Serena Cran showing low grade fever?"
* Cassandra_Arakawa heads to her desk and starts programming a sensor sweep.
* Xanatos`Durran frowns and moves back for the office.
<Ry`> 14"Yes..it looks like it"
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: There is a camera in Ry's room?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That was the starting signs for the Alphas. If she's infected, we need to get a sample of her blood to confirm it.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: ohh t here are in the hall.
<Ry`> NRP: No..
<Arhn> Sera...are you alright?
<Ry`> 14"Alright..shall I get it..?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If you could. I'll be in the medical lab with the equipment necessary to identify the virus.
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the office shortly after, "There anyway to get a visual of Cran's shuttle?"
<Seraphna> "Oddly... yes... I'm still feeling a bit sick, but I feel... okay."
<Ry`> 2He nods, waiting for Katrina to leave. He opens the door once more. 14"Sera..come with me, the Doctors waiting in the medical bay.."
<Arhn> Ok?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves back to the medical bay, commandeering it from Doctor Sue.
<Seraphna> "Kay..."
<DeathStar> NRP: No, no way.
<Slasher> ....Why is she taking control of the Medical Bay?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Working on it... *tries to bring up Cran's shuttle on the display*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pulls out a small case from her pocket, opening it up. It has a datapad inside used for medical tests. She sets it to the side, working on caliberating it.
* Seraphna gets up and heads to the bay with Ry
* Xanatos`Durran moves over to look at the monitor. "I'm not sure. I assume she has the authority to do so?
<DeathStar> GM: *The PAX Station cannot pick up something so far away
* Slasher looks down at Sera stepping out of Ry's room, he looks at her carefully, quickly putting two and two together.
<Xanatos`Durran> ......I don't like this.
* Ry` nods once toward Arhn, as if trying to comfort her with silent action. With that he headed to the bay with Sera, a look of distress on his face.
* Seraphna looks at him, "Something wrong Ry?"
<Ry`> 14"The attack is all..I don't like this.."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Out of range, sir...
<Seraphna> "It was going to happen sooner or later..."
* Arhn sighs and steps out of Ry's quarters.
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his chin, "So Warren leaves...Cran shows up...but is attacked. Investigators show up and take over the med-bay. Then we see Sera being escorted toward the med-bay. *he shakes his head*
<DeathStar> NRP: <Xanatos> This can only mean one thing. FUBAR!
* Ry` stops outside of the medical bay. 14"Don't be surprised when you see who is the doctor is.."
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: The gryphon from Suikoden 3?
<DeathStar> NRP: ... *sigh*
<Slasher> She's sick...If an Kat's here as an investigator and has commandeered the medical bay, that can only mean one thing.
<Xanatos`Durran> The virus. *he sighs*
* Seraphna nods, "I'm half expecting the second coming today."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks up as the medical doors slide open, looking directly at Seraphna.
* Seraphna looks at her, and smiles, "Hi Kat."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina motions for her to come over. "I need a sample of your blood."
* Ry` steps in after Sera, closing the door.
* Slasher pulls out his pistol, checking the clip, he steps out of the Security Office and makes his way down towards the Medical Bay.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Sir...might I suggest a way to boost our range?
* Seraphna nods and walks over, holding out her arm.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Slasher, he picks up his comm and waves for Cassandra to do whatever she can. "Slasher, what are you doing?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes the an instrument and holds it up to Sera's arm. A second later it's full of blood and she lowers it, inserting it into th datapad.
<Slasher> If she's infected we're not safe. *he steps outside making his way*
<Xanatos`Durran> nRP: Oh heh, I thouoghth he left.
<Slasher> NRP: He did, but you made it sound like he said it before.
<Slasher> NRP: he left
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: I picked up the comm.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I'll need to borrow a shuttle then. *makes some adjustments and then rises* Going to set up a mobile relay for the sensors.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Bahh it is fine.
* Xanatos`Durran holds up his arm. "Cassandra. We may need you here..."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...sir?
<Seraphna> "Make sure to test for antibodies too."
* Seraphna eyes Kat
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands there as the datapad analyzes the blood.
<Ry`> 14"What is it?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll need a few more moments to break down her blood. It's unusual compared to the other Dragoons.
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his head, "If she is infected, she could go beserk and trash the station. If Cran is attacked...you could be too. Which would you rather risk?"
<Seraphna> "Should be..."
* Xanatos`Durran presses the comm, "Slasher. Let Katrina do what she has to first."
<DeathStar> 6* Sera begins to feel a low ache, as if she has the flue.
<DeathStar> NRP: flu
* Slasher stands outside of the Medical Bay, he stiffens his hand as he waits.
<Ry`> 14"So hey..you have any information on the Realion planet?"
* Slasher taps his comm. 1"I'm not an idiot Xanatos, I know what I'm doingl."
<Seraphna> "I... need to sit down..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No. 6She states to him, not liking the subject very much obviously, still recalling the last time there.
* Seraphna takes a seat, sighing.
<Ry`> 14"I figured you should know..they got their freedom.." 2He hoped..anyway
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies Seraphna, then looks back at the datapad as an answer comes up. She stands there, her face going dark a bit as she looks at the answer.
* Xanatos`Durran frowns, "I'm just making sure you don't shoot first Slasher. Keep me posted."
<Seraphna> "Infected?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> And what if there is an already berserk Dragoon out there?
* Ry` glances at Katrina.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> At a rate 10x faster than the dragoons. You'll succumb to it's effects by the end of the day.
<Slasher> *taps his comm* You don't know your coworkers then.
<Seraphna> "Then it's important my father gets here soon."
<Ry`> 14"..great..any way to stop it?"
<Xanatos`Durran> Then I'd rather blow the fuck out of the one in here, before I havee to deal with the one out there.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No. There is no cure for the virus - and her body isn't forming anything that is capable of stopping it, either.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at the comm and shakes his head, this was going to be a very long day.
<Seraphna> "No cure that you know about..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> None that we know about. 6She turns to Seraphna. "And in an hour or so, you'll be too insane to think of one yourself."
<Ry`> 14"..what do you suggest? If she goes insane..then we will need to put her down.."
<Seraphna> "Then I have an hour or two..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands there, looking at Ry. She says nothing, obviously thinking the best method would be to stop Sera now before she goes insane.
<Xanatos`Durran> What do you think I should do, Lt.?
* Xanatos`Durran moves to look at Cassandra.
* Seraphna looks at her, "My father was thirty minutes away when one already rogue attacked his shuttle. Getting him here would be the best solution, for all of us."
* Ry` simply shakes his head, letting his arms cross over his chest. 14"I'm afraid I can't do that Katrina..in 1 hour I will deal with her insane version myself..if need be."
* Slasher eyes their reaction then steps into the Medical Bay, his gun trained on Sera's head.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina begins to work on her comm. "Your father won't be coming here, it seems."
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: 1 hour later: Ry dies
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks up at Slasher in surprise.
<Ry`> NRP: Give the guy some credit..
<Seraphna> "Why is that?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> We wait...
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: I'm kidding.
* Ry` immediatly aims his gun at Slashers head, the energy humming.
<Slasher> She's infected isn't she.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Slasher, as if sizing up he's not in his traitor mode and simply here to stop the problem. She seems to be looking back and forth between Ry and Slasher.
<Slasher> I'll take your silence as a yes. Ry, drop the gun now.
<Seraphna> "Guns down, I'm not trying to kill anyone."
<Ry`> 14"..No"
* Xanatos`Durran turns to eye the monitor, he shakes his head, "Please go and give Slasher assistance. I can't have Ry fucking us over."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yet. But you will soon.
<Slasher> We're not safe with her on this shuttle.
<Seraphna> "Assuming the virus affects me in the same way."
<Slasher> NRP: Err...station
<DeathStar> 6* Sera's head feels a bit lightheaded now.
<Seraphna> "I'm not an Alpha..."
* Xanatos`Durran pulls up his datapd and begins to type a message sending it off.
<Slasher> You're not above anything Ms. Cran. You're a Dragoon, with the virus. You're a threat.
* Seraphna holds her head
<DeathStar> <Katrina> The virus is attacking your body the same way, Seraphna. You're a Dragoon.
<Ry`> 14"I know this, but I have responsibilities Slasher."
<Slasher> And so do I Ry.
<Seraphna> "I'm Omega, not Alpha."
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP:....Someone has a jesus complex.
<Slasher> I dont' care about your Jesus complex. You're still a threat now.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ....
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Yes, sir. *rises and heads for the medical bay*
* Xanatos`Durran presses the comm button, "Status. Is she infected?"
<Seraphna> "Slasher, if I did go insane, making yourself the first visible threat is not the best idea."
<Slasher> You have two choices Seraphna. You either leave this station on your own or you leave in a body bag.
* Ry` pulls out his datapad with his other hand, growling. 14"Do not tempt this Slasher..if you do..then you will take more life then you first intended.." 2Erusian guards run down the hallway, as he contacts them.
<Slasher> I can handle myself Ms. Cran.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Ry, then at the situation building up here.
<Seraphna> "Against a prototype, maybe."
* Seraphna stands slowly, "Point the gun elsewhere, and I'll leave."
<Slasher> I will not give you a second chance. *his gun doesn't lower*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares at Sera, wondering if she'll really walk out of the safety of the station
<Seraphna> "I can;t leave with you blocking the way Mr. Winters."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* Lt. commander, we've got a problem. Ry has pulled in the Erusian security.
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos' comm beeps.
<Slasher> I'm not in the way. *his left hand waves to the path beside him*
<DeathStar> NRP: Er, datapad.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes the guard on the monitor, "Oh fucking christ." He presses the comm, "I know. Tell Ry to stand down now." He checks his datapad.
<DeathStar> Message: "Deal with the situation as it warrents. I'll be coming back as soon as I can. If time runs out, do whatever it takes." - Warren.
<Ry`> 14"Katrina..I take it your job is over here?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Darien wants me to observe the situation until it concludes.
* Xanatos`Durran moves out of the door and makes his way for the Med-bay.
* Cassandra_Arakawa steps into the medical bay. "Ry, call off your troops."
* Slasher 's left hand moves back to rest on his pistol.
<Ry`> 14"If you want me to do that..get the hell out of the way.."
<Seraphna> "Find my father."
<Seraphna> "Stop pushing for self destruction and do the right thing for once..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Like I said, your father isn't coming. He's on Mars being treated for injuries.
<Ry`> 14"Can mars be reached in an hour?"
<Slasher> I am doing the right thing now leave this station or I'll kill you where you sit.
<Seraphna> "Then get me a console."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes.
<Seraphna> "Then let's get me there, under protective custody, of course."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But if you remove her from the station, Earth will take her.
<Ry`> 14"Even if we take her under an Erusian shuttle?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes. The situation is that serious.
* Xanatos`Durran steps up to the med-bay and glances at the Eursian guards. and steps inside, "Eursian influence ends with the barriers of the shield."
<DeathStar> NRP: He refuses to spell it right
<Seraphna> "Right... so Earth would choose another dragoon going mad over getting me to some form of safety."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Earth will choose the logical conclusion of safety over your life.
<Seraphna> "I'm getting help."
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: What...oh shat. I never knew I was spellinig it wrong.
<Slasher> What makes you so confident your father can save youl.
* Seraphna walks over to a console
<Seraphna> "Think with your head Slasher."
* Xanatos`Durran glances down at his watch, eyeing the time. "How long till she goes bonkers?"
<Slasher> I am. Answer this one then, if he can choose to 'save' you, why doens't he choose to save the others?
<DeathStar> 6* Sera's head pounds for a second. Her annoyance levels would be rising, especially in this situation. She seems almost stressed out, even if she can see it, it won't go away.
* Ry` places his datapad away, slipping a Plasma grenade into the hand. He wasn't worried about Slasher, he was worried about the other 2. 14"about 2 hours"
* Seraphna sighs, closing her eyes, "Can everyone please calm down and back away, you're making it worse."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes ry disapprovingly. She knows what is going to happen if this continus.
<Slasher> She probably has 40 minutes now.
* Seraphna dials out on the medical bay's console, on a private channel, "If he's concious, get me him, now."
<Ry`> 14"Then let earth take her into custody..Janus has more influence there"
* Xanatos`Durran motions to Ry, "Put that away...." He turns to the rest of them. "We have less than two hours. If you aren't saved in 1 hour. I will put a bullet in you myself." He glances at Sera.
<DeathStar> 6* Commander Hodges appears. "Serena Cran. I'm sorry about the terrible incident."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She doesn't even have an hour left. She's going to go insane in less than an hour. Chad is probably correct.
<Seraphna> "It's fine, I'm infected, please get him in contact with me now, unless you know what to do."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is watching the break down of her blood on her datapad.
<DeathStar> <Commander Hodges> The General is unconscious. He lost a lot of blood.
<Xanatos`Durran> Then I'll give her 20 minutes.
<Ry`> 14"Then why the hell arn't we sending her ass off to Earth?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'd be glad to accept custody of her if you want to remove Erusian protection.
<Seraphna> "You have an answer to this problem then Hodges?"
* Slasher clicks the safety off his pistol, he still stands there waiting.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Someone just decide...
<DeathStar> <Commander Hodges> I know nothing about the situation at hand.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Ry. Then looks back up to Cassandra. "Go to the office, get ahold of Warren and figure out his ETA. Warn him about what happened to Cran."
<Seraphna> "You replaced SPade... please, at least be as honest as he is."
<DeathStar> <Commander Hodges> I am being honest. Your father doesn't want another William Spade created.
<Slasher> What's your plan Ms. McCormick?
<DeathStar> <Commander Hodges> I know nothing.
<Xanatos`Durran> Sera. Your wasting time.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I can give her a shot that will put her to sleep. It'll be painless.
* Seraphna sighs and nods, hanging up
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Yes, sir. *heads back to the security office*
<Seraphna> "Believe me, I have no desire to lose myself."
<DeathStar> NRP: Like a vet!
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Kat, then Slasher. "How long would that give us?"
<Seraphna> "But I'm going to go faster and faster with guns trained on me."
<Slasher> It would endi tn ow.
* Ry` growls, placing the grenade back on his belt. 14"..tell me..where is Kane..?" 2An idea suddenly popped into his head.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Ry, arching a brow, he looks to Sera. "She probably knows. But i'm not following"
<Slasher> My gun won't drop in this situation Ms. Cran.
<Seraphna> "Replica Colony."
<Ry`> 14"Then contact him..NOW"
* Seraphna tries to dial him up.
<Xanatos`Durran> What could he do?
* Cassandra_Arakawa sits at her desk and tries contacting Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Their communications seem to be jammed now.
<Seraphna> "...Someone is jamming us...?"
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Kane wouldn't answer anyway, he just got his ass kicked by Spade. :P
<Ry`> 14"The way I look at it..the pair grew pretty close..if anyone knows how to solve this..it would be him..
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* "Sir, our communications are being jammed. Soemthing is up.
* Seraphna eyes Slasher
<Seraphna> "Looks like I'm not the immediate threat."
* Ry` shakes his head. 14"Fucking great.."
<Slasher> You still are Ms. Cran.
* Xanatos`Durran clicks his comm, "Find out what it is, I'm counting on you Lt."
<DeathStar> 6* Sera's head pounds. Slasher is so fucking annoying. Killing him would solve the threat level.
* Seraphna holds her head, glaring at him
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* Yes, sir. *then does aquick programming job with the sensors, recalibrating them to fine the source of the interference pattern being broadcast*
* Slasher stares back, an emotionless face
* Xanatos`Durran rubs the back of his head, not liking this situation. He glances at Sera. "Someone do something to calm her now."
<DeathStar> GM: *it seems the whole sector is being jammed. Perhaps a communication station elsewhere has been taken out*
<Seraphna> "They should be assaulting many major colonies and facilities about now..."
<Ry`> 14"..fantastic.."
<Slasher> And that's the Military's department, not ours.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* Sir...its a blackout. Someone took out a relay station.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Kat. "Will putting her to sleep help this situation out at all?" He glances down at his comm, "Thank you lt. Keep your eyes on the monitors, let me know if anything seems out of place."
<Seraphna> "Got anything to calm someone down in this medical bay?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It would be worse. It was attempted with Alpha Baxter and it sped up the process.
<Ry`> 14"Tranq her.."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That would also be bad. It would have an adverse affect.
* Xanatos`Durran frowns, "What if we just knocked her out?"
<Seraphna> "I need something to calm emotions only... sedating me completely would be bad..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She'd likely wake up and kill you.
<Seraphna> "Honestly... I'm doing all that I can to hold back right now, Slasher is causing most of my stress."
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs, "Wouldn't be the only one that has tried.." He frowns and looks around. "A good telepath could make her calm....shame we don't have one."
<Seraphna> "Please remove him, you can always shoot me if I start to flip..."
<Seraphna> "...We do..."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* Yes, sir...sir...should I step up the station's alert status...?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands there silently.
<Seraphna> "...The Vapaad Ambassador."
<Ry`> 14"I think he was thinking of Katrina.."
<Seraphna> "Anything to help..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I can do nothing.
* Seraphna rubs her head
<Xanatos`Durran> Slasher. Go get that fucking thing. *shakes his head and sighs*
<Seraphna> *Kieran is already gliding down the hall.
<Seraphna> "Kat... have they tried this yet?"
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Slasher. "Go."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> The fact is that I don't think it's a head problem so much. I've been reading your emotions. You aren't having disjointed personalities or even a mental breakdown that can be reversed. The virus itself is causing the problem.
* Slasher reaches down his datapad and types on it, he glances at it for a split second. 1"It seem's he's heading this way already.
<Xanatos`Durran> Then put the gun down. That is an order.
<Seraphna> "Hmmm... so it's like a computer virus..."
<Seraphna> "If my mind goes under, or my CPU... in example... the virus wins."
* Slasher glances at Durran, his eyes narrow, he then drops the gun, his body relaxing.
<Xanatos`Durran> Shame we don't have a good hacker that could create an antivirus.
<Ry`> 14"I doubt he would be good enough.."
<Seraphna> "We did, till someone descided to fire him."
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Ry. "I wasn't refering to Kane."
<DeathStar> 6* Another head pounding. Everyone seems to be feeling as if a threat. Even Kat with all her negative words.
<Slasher> For withholding information.
* Seraphna sighs and backs away gently
<Seraphna> "Go away..."
* Xanatos`Durran picks up his comm, "Lt. Just how good are you at hacking?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She's identifying us threats now.
<Xanatos`Durran> How much time do you think we have left.
<Slasher> I'd say 20 minutes.
<Ry`> 14"I'll deal with her then when the time comes."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Less than twenty.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Everytime I think I've figured out the timetable, it increases. It's picking up speed.
<Seraphna> "Be positive... stop making yourselves... seem threatening... please..."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* Check out Slasher's military record sometime and look for a crossdressing incident and you'll find out. Why?
* Slasher eyes Katrina, studying her
<Ry`> 14"Because..everyone has a damn gun on her!"
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: No they don't.
<Ry`> NRP: They did
<Slasher> NRP: Slasher never had a military record really.
<Seraphna> "Stop yelling... just go away..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands there, looking cool and collected. Is she here merely for revenge?
<Xanatos`Durran> Ry. We don't need the attitude. Sera. Please have a seat. Please try to relax.
* Seraphna eyes Kat
<Seraphna> "You... did you... do something..."
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Slasher. "Do you think you could help her?"
<Seraphna> "To accelerate this...?"
<Seraphna> "This is for your brother... isn't it..."
<Slasher> I could by putting a shot in her head, yes.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> .... No. 6She says neutrally. She sighs, a sign of her cold facade breaking. "She's going to be paranoid now. Don't feed the paranoia"
<Seraphna> "You were angry at me... for stopping him from killing us all..."
<Seraphna> "You tried to have me turned in... you fought to have me isolated..."
* Xanatos`Durran arches a brow, "Sera. Stop being silly and making accusation we just need you to relax." He looks to Slasher, He presses his comm, "Geet down here we might be able to use you."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> .... 6She stands there, trying not to give off any emotion.
<Xanatos`Durran> Katrina. You should leave.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* On my way. *leaves the security office and heads back*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glares at Xanatos.
<Seraphna> "You accused me... when it wasn't even my fault... everyone seems to think... I want this..."
<Xanatos`Durran> You both have a history and this isn't helping. Please just do as I say.
<Slasher> You've always been good with words Xan.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> The fact is that someone needs to be here to monitor the stages of her viurs.
<Seraphna> "Slasher... murderer points a gun at me now and none of youdo a damned thing..."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I'm here, sir.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She's one step above killing us all.
<Seraphna> "Killing you... no no..."
<Slasher> Ry did. He defended you.
<Seraphna> "Ry... is a friend..."
<Slasher> And Arhn. She took you in when you needed someone the most.
* Xanatos`Durran glances back at Cassandra, "Alright everyone steps outside, Ry. You stay in here. Cassandra, talk with Katrina and see if you can figure out a way to stop this."
* Ry` stood there, trying to think of a way to solve this situation.
<Seraphna> "...Even though he works with Darien in secret... but even Kane did..."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Yes, sir. *turns to regard Sera* Let's have a seat.
* Slasher looks at Katrina, almost as if he's asking her to demand he stay.
<Seraphna> "Everyone wants to use me..."
* Xanatos`Durran glances at th work Slasher is doing. He ponders for a moment.
* Seraphna sits slowly, shaking.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Someone should stay who can do what is needed, Durran. 6She says softly.
<Slasher> Not everyone Sera.
<Seraphna> "...Leave Ry."
<Seraphna> "He... will kill me if needed..."
<Seraphna> "TO protect... Arhn..."
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Katrina and frowns, "Do what you must..."
<Slasher> And to protect Venerators Dream.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at the break down of the blood. It's completely neutralized into insanity. However, since Sera has more blood, it means she has about 10 more minutes.
* Ry` grunts, looking around toward her. 14"It'll take a god damn miracle for something to happen in 10 minutes.."
<Seraphna> "...It won't take me... it won't... I couldn't stop it... you all stopped me from doing what I needed to... I wanted to save her..."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Alright, in brief...any idea how the biological itnerfaces for the dragoons are managed. *pulls off her jacket*
<DeathStar> <Voice> It's over, Serena.
<Slasher> You did what you thought you needed to do Ms. Cran....
* Seraphna blinks, looking around
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns to see Warren standing there, holding a packet of blood labeled "Cran" on it.
* Xanatos`Durran motions for Ry and Arhn to go ahead and leave. He looks to Slasher and steps over to the side. He eyes Sera.
* Slasher twitches, his gun instantly drawn as he scans around the room, searching for the voice.
<Seraphna> "Over...?"
* Xanatos`Durran glances to Warren.
* Slasher instantly drops his gun as he see's Warren.
<Ry`> NRP: Arhn isn't even there
<Seraphna> "Warren..."
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: She came with you all.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. I'm going to fix you. 6He begins to walk over, motioning for the doctors to begin a blood transfusion.
<Seraphna> "Fix me...?"
<Arhn> NRP: Corrction, she left Ry's room. I never said she folowed them.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Well whhatever.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: LO
<DeathStar> <Warren> You need blood. A specific kind of blood.
* Seraphna has her hands curled into fists, so hard they bleed a little, outward signs of an internal struggle.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP :P
* Xanatos`Durran watches Warren. A bit relieved. His hand slides out from inside of his jacket.
<Seraphna> "...Specific... kind...?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> You need your father's blood.
* Ry` glances at Warren, relieved and worried at the same time.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> She has ten minutes, sir. I think questions can wait.
<Seraphna> "...My father's... blood? Why... Dad's...?"
<Xanatos`Durran> I agree with the Lt.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren motions for Ry to get Sera onto the table for the blood transfusion
<DeathStar> <Warren> Because your DNA is an exact match to his DNA. You're a clone.
* Slasher looks at a clock on the far wall, his finger twitches as he begins to countdown the time in his head.
* Ry` nods, placing a single hand onto Sera shoulder. He puts a gentle pressure on her for her to sit.
* Seraphna struggles for a second agaisnt being moved, but complies.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Katrina.
<Seraphna> "...D-Dad... is... blood...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hands the blood to the doctors, who begin to set up the proceedure of the blood. "My guess is that your body began to thin out your blood as your ... "Abilities" were allowed to come on."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Which allowed the virus to gain access and infect you.
<Seraphna> "That's why... he never told me..."
<Seraphna> "To stop... to prevent it..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at everyone. "We should let her rest. Lets go. The doctors will have her back to normal in an hour."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches the situation, then taps something on her datapad as she leaves the room.
* Cassandra_Arakawa nods and steps outside.
* Slasher looks at Warren. 1"Are you sure this will work?"
* Seraphna starts to pass out.
* Seraphna shakes her head, "Should... keep awake... for it..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm not. But the theory is sound. It was you who saved her life in the end, Winters. You gave me the DNA sample. They just recently realized her DNA wasn't a dragoon's. It was a human's. Cran's, to be specific."
* Xanatos`Durran frowns as Katrina steps by. He glances back to Warren. "I'm sure Slasher is thrilled..." He steps back to the door.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Which could explain why Cran's shuttle was attacked by the dragoons. They didn't want her to get the blood sample.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks out of the room with the others.
<Slasher> *eyes Xanatos as he walks out* Do you want a guard to watch her?"
* Xanatos`Durran keeps going, making his way for the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stops in an empty hallway away from anything important, talking with someone over the datapad.
<Ry`> 14"I'll do it.."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> And the comm blackout, sir?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I have no idea.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...disturbing...
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the hanger shortly after.
<Slasher> ....*get's no response and he eyes Sera, it's obvious he thinking about something*
<Ry`> NRP: I responded :P
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands in the hallway, a frown on his face as he thinks.
* Seraphna looks back at him, the glare, the anger gone already.
<Seraphna> "Feel... sick... I always get sick... when I get angry..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> You said the communication relay was down...
* Ry` glances at Warren. 14"Tell me..did you mean for me to hold back the entire security team when you implied "Keep an eye on her" ?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lifts his head, about to utter something when the station rattles. When Durran enters the hanger, something pounds through the shields and shakes the room as the shields desperately refix themselves.
* Slasher looks down at his gun then at her, he powers his gun down and steps outside, he then leans next to the door.
* Slasher slams his hand against the wall to maintain his balance.
* Seraphna curls up, staring at the shaking wall, "...The family has come knocking..."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Time to activate the defense grid!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren slams into the wall. "Damn!"
* Xanatos`Durran jerks back, his comm up, "Situation in the hanger. I think it's the dragoons."
<DeathStar> 6* A figure stands in the hanger now, their head lowered as a whip is hanging in their hand.
* Ry` stumbles onto the ground, glancing around at the others. 14"Damn.. Dragoons?"
* Cassandra_Arakawa takes off at a run for the security room.
* Xanatos`Durran instantly has both pistols out. "Who are you?"
<DeathStar> 6* The blonde hair woman lifts her head up to face Durran, her red eyes peering at him. She doesn't look insane, but very angry.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren runs after the others for hanger.
* Slasher taps his comm. 1"What's going on?"
<Xanatos`Durran> Stand down, Lady.
<DeathStar> <Dragoon> My name is Dragoon Alpha Cheryl.
<Ry`> 14"Slasher lets go.." 2He orders the Erusian guards to protect the Medical bay. After that, Ry moved behind Warren.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm here to destroy the virus that is Serena Cran.
<DeathStar> Session Ends
