<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.9.28 - Late Evening
<DeathStar> Location: The Ship
<DeathStar> 6* Members of the Athena Fan Club are seated in the newly constructed Concert Hall in Zone 28. For the last hour, Athena has put on a show in various outfits ranging from uber cute to sexy, and apparantly has put great work into the lay out and acoustics of the area, complete with lights of various colors. The only member (of DS') not present is Ao, who is on the bridge with Iko and Ako, pulling shift duty so others can watch
<DeathStar> 6* Athena is currently on her last song, wearing a simple black dress with a slit along the thigh, her hair done up in a french twist/curl, and is singing a song about family, her tone soft and serious compared to most of her songs. The VIPs who attended - Drasek, Erevis, Megumi, Isis, Zephyr, and Xanatos have front row seats, though there's plenty others could be there, too
<DeathStar> 6* Athena finishes her song and bows to her crowd, with CHIP turning the lights back to normal finally. Future Erevis is seated a bit in the back, watching the concert as well it seems, and Aya is there, being a member. Zephyr sits by Drasek, and begins to clap
* Chad`Winters stands way in the back near one of the entryways, apparently having slipped out from engineering for a short bit
<DeathStar> 6* Chad, not being a AFC member, wouldn't have entry.
* Sammael sits watching with rapt attention, fulfilling her duties as the #1 Fan. She begins to clap as well.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek leans forward, with his elbows upon his knees as he watches Athena carefully, though when she finishes he lets out a whistle, clapping. Xanatos sits with his arms crossed, leaned back slightly, though he has a smile on his face, once she finished he also begins to clap. Marcus is somewhere in the middle with Kat, clapping. Theron is in the back with Naji, also doing his fair share of clapping.
<Kit> 6Dawn claps softly, his head tilted and thinking she would have gotten along with Fiore nicely.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya smiles, sitting by Dawn, clapping. She peers at Dawn, squeezing his shoulder.
<Kit> <Megumi> I may need to rethink this tailor work.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What do you mean?
<Kit> <Megumi> It was more risque than I intended." 6Her eyes narrow.
* Sammael cheers more, clapping for Athena. Having thoroughly enjoyed the concert.
<Kit> <Megumi> See?
<DeathStar> 6* Athena smiles at the attention, waving her hand. "Would my very important people please come to stage?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head
<Ariel> "It is a little..."
<Kit> <Megumi> Er...
<DeathStar> 6* Again, Ariel isn't a AFC member.
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes Erevis at the stage call.
<Kit> 6She digs her fingers into the seat like a cat announced for the vet.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek takes Zephyr's hand and bounds up onto the stage.
* Sammael lifts her datapad up to take more pictures for the offical scrapbook.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves up to the front wiht Drasek, and Erevis rises, taking Megumi's hand. Isis rises and steps forward, looking confused
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos arches a brow and glances at the others, he slowly rubs the back of his neck as rises, getting on the stage. 1I'm important, right?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Depends on who you ask.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Hopefully someone nice.
<Sammael> "You are, now get going." *she grins*
<Kit> 6Megumi mildly resists, not wanting to be on stage.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart steps on stage with a large box, handing it to Athena
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Come along, Kitten. You do not want a depressed Athena later.
<Kit> <Megumi> Le sigh.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek cocks his head slightly. 1Oi. Good to see yeah Ice.
<Xanatos> NRP: yah*
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Thank you. <Athena> Miss Iceheart Member #6. Did business with. Spent money on gifts for everyone. 6* She smiles, probably why she needed money to join her club. She opens the box
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek arches a brow, impressed at Athena.
* Sammael snaps pictures.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena pulls out four necklaces made of gold, with a silver crystal shaped in the form of a heart in the middle, and hands them to Isis, Megumi, Erevis, and Zephyr. "Made crystals. When wearing, if face someone you like, turns blue, if love, turns red." 6* She sounds proudly.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek leans forward to eye the one given to Zephyr. 1Fancy.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes her necklace, eyeing the heart shaped crystal. Athena beams, then pulls out rings for Drasek and Xanatos, with heart shaped crystals in the ring. "Same for rings." 6* She holds them out to them. "Made rings so feel more manly."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek and Xan both take them, looking them over.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis moves down near the stage, smiling softly . Athena bounds over and hands her a necklace, too.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Thanks Athena, this is great.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smirks at the heart ring, putting her necklace on.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at it curiously, then puts it on, facing Megumi; the crystal turns red almost instantly.
* Sammael keeps taking photos of people putting on their presents, apparently wrapped in her work.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek proudly puts it on, holding it up to peer at. 1Looks bloody manly on my hand, I'd say.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis smiles softly, putting it on. One would say she almost looks proud of Athena.
<Kit> <Megumi> Wait... so it.." 6She twitches at Erevis' necklace.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is fascinating. 6* She puts Megumi's on Megumi and turns her to face her.
* Sammael moves closer to get better shots, taking chances to get Athena handing them out. She tilts her head, looking over at Erevis and Megumi.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slides the ring on his finger, peering at it. 1So it really works? How?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr purposely doesn't face Drasek.
<Kit> 6Megumi palms it as it shifts to red. 1"...Well that-- must we wear these?"
<DeathStar> 6* Athena looks back from talking to F. Erevis. "Athena put feelings into crystal. Crystal recognize feelings of like and love."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena's ears droop at Megumi. "Not like?"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Look bit, it's red, that means I love myself, right?
<Kit> <Megumi> It is not that.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'd believe it.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek squints and peers at her. 1Mean.
* Sammael smiles. "Was a good concert."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena peers down. "Don't have to wear if not like."
<Kit> <Megumi> It is not a matter of the object.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems fascinated and faces Aya; the crystal turns to a light blue.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> This is wild, I can't believe it's possible.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I told her she should maek me some to sell on the market. Better than a mood ring.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> So what if we love someone like a sister or a brother, it works that way too, right? Not just a romantic love?
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods. She faces Isis and hers turns red.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Hm..
* Sammael hops over to Athena, showing her the datapad. "Wanna see concert pictures?" *she looks between the sisters*
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek faces the girls and his ring turns red, he moves over to give them both a big hug.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slowly leans over Megumi's shoulder, peering at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena peers at Sammael, the crystal turning to a blue. She blinks, then hugs Drasek back.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr faces Megumi curiously and eyes her red crystal. <Hee hee.>
<Xanatos> <Drasek> This is brilliant. 6He says after releasing them.
* Sammael blinks a bit but smiles still.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances toward Xanatos' crystal as he faces Megumi
* Sammael starts to show Athena pictures of her singing. "Good for the book...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods, smiling.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos' crystal seems to be a mix between light red and dark blue. Almost a purple color.
* Sammael stops at one in one of the cuter costumes. "Like this one especially."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head a bit.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Momma Megumi made.
<Sammael> "It's adorable!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina whispers to MArcus. "Maybe we should invite everyone to the bar to have some food and mingle."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I was just trying to figure out some good snacks. 6He says after a pause and winks at her thinking along the same lines as him.
<Kit> 6Megumi jumps slightly, have been staring off into space, then makes a face as she eyes Xanatos, throwing her hands over her own. 1"Wh-what are you looking at?!"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Oh come'on, I want to see.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek slides in front of Zephyr suddenly. 1So I think mine's broke, it turns black when I look at Sam.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns to eye Drasek, then jerks, covering her necklace as it starts to redden. "I-well, you know...maybe you just really hate her."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods, hands behind her, looking pleased and happy. Isis' crystal mostly stays blue to people who aren't family.
<Kit> <Megumi> I-- do not feel like showing. Look! Yours is not even red.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Bollocks, the only person I ever hated that bad kicked the bucket.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pushes to his feet and calls out. 1The After Party will begin in the bar momentarily to celebrate tonight's success. 6He nods to Kat and slips for the teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stands up. She thinks softly, peering at Dawn. "Do you think you'll ever do another cosplay?" 6* She asks carefully.
<Kit> 6Dawn blinks in surprise, then rubs his head, peering at the floor. He shrugs slightly. 1"...Not sure what."
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis puts on her necklace, then slips it into her shirt; she follows Marcus. At the bar already is Future Darien, enjoying a meal.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Hey, I'm always honest about my feelings. And there's red in there, so nyeh.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya squeezes his shoulder, then leads him to the teleporter for the party.
<Sammael> "See you at the party?" *she smiles*
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods.
* Sammael winks and heads to the teleporter.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek squints and leans forward slightly. 1You're not showing me your heart.
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes him stubbornly, then smiles a bit, pulling her hands away. It's silver, like it didn't even activate. 1"Too bad, mine is not working."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I--food time. 6* She hurries for the teleporter. Isis eyes Megumi, as if catching onto what she did.
* Chad`Winters is sitting in one of the booths, eating some food.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Ah. Guess you nothing me, then. 6He nods once and turns to head towards the teleporter.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hey Darien, 6He says in a passing greeting as he moves into the back to prepare.
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien nods to him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers toward Xanatos ,watching him; unlike Megumi she doesn't bother to cover up her necklace.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos passes by Erevis and gives her a smile, his ring of course red when it comes to her.
* Sammael takes a seat in the bar once she arrives and stretches a bit. "Hey Darien."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis returns the smile, her necklace red as well. She takes Megumi's hand and leads her to the teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien nods to her.
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes Isis suddenly, it staying silver, then makes a noise as she's pulled along.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek rubs his head slowly, then moves after the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis follows, and Athena bounds after. Zephyr hides her necklace into her shirt when she gets into the bar
<DeathStar> 6* Athena enters the bar in her red dress, and takes a seat at a booth, laying her head down and looking happy.
<DeathStar> *her black dress
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves to the bar get orders ready.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus comes back out with various appetizers as snacks, he has a cheese platter and a vegetable platter with various crackers and dips. 6He places them on the bar then moves back into the back.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya waves at Chad as she and Dawn move to his booth to sit
* Sammael snaps another picture. "Good ending shot." *she tturns back around, going over the pictures as she snatches some appetizers*
* Chad`Winters eyes the people coming in the catches his daughters wave. He gives her a smile and waves at her
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos takes a seat at a table, his hand sliding into his pocket now as he peers around at everyone.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek sits down by Zephyr. 1That was cold, bit.
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis sits by Athena, waving Xanatos over.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> C-Cold?
<DeathStar> 6* Athena yawns then lays her head down on her arms, practically falling asleep right there. Isis takes a seat, shaking her head at her sister, and petting her quietly
<Kit> 6Megumi's shadow looms over Isis.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and then brings a chair over.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis peers up at Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis casually sends Ariel a message that Darien is in the bar, adding a ^_^v face
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek just waves his ringless hand in response as if it's no big deal and nods once. 1You think everyone'll wear theirs everyday?
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis sits at the bar quietly.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Depends on how brave people are about their feelings, I guess. 6* She pauses, then pulls out her necklace, letting it hang. It's red.
* Sammael looks over at F. Erevis. "Had fun?"
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis peers toward Sammael, tilting her head a bit. "It was pleasant to see how much Tiny Kitten has grown."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances down at it, then at her, then at it. 1Like a brother, eh?
* Ariel eyes the emoticon a bit, trying to decypher the 'v' part... but she decides to head down to the bar.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers to the side a bit. "I--"
<Kit> <Megumi> ..." 6She eyes Isis narrowly. 1"Going to say anything?"
<DeathStar> <Isis> ... about what? 6* She tilts her head, shrinking back
* Sammael giggles a bit.
<DeathStar> <Aya> The concert hall was well built. You should play your piano in there, Dad. The acoustics are nice.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek puts his hand on the table, the ring red as well.
* Sammael tilts her head back at F. Erevis as though having a thought, then looks back over the appertizers, snatching another one.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart sits in a booth with her wine, enjoying her profits
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes it, then him. "Like a sister?"
* Chad`Winters makes an eh face. 1"Only if it's just me to hear how it sounds."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis smiles at Xanatos, peering at the sleeping Athena, then at him. "It is nice to see her becoming her own person." 6* She comments.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus brings out an arrangement of sandwiches cut into triangles and then gets stands back, apparently finished.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'd listen.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> It really is. She's going to do some great things. 6He says with a nod.
<Chad`Winters> That I'd enjoy. 6He gives her a soft smile. 1"How was it?"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I think you forgot that I said it once. Sure, things happened, but it's not like that sort of thing just goes away, yeah?
<DeathStar> <Aya> It was nice. She really put on a show. I think CHIP enjoyed doing the lighting.
* Sammael grabs one, taking a bite, she peers at Marcus. "Thanks for the spread."
<Kit> <Megumi> I saw you looking. You noticed, did you not?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's cheeks redden slightly, but not in an Angela way. "Yeah."
<DeathStar> 6* Isis nods softly. "I-It is not my place to say anything."
<Chad`Winters> It's good she found something that brings her joy. And all things considering, it's probably the most exciting thing Chips done in awhile.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina wraps an arm around Marcus, rubbing his side. "Once we get to ap oint we can make money, you should ask Athena to put her face on plastic cups." 6* She jokes.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Heeey that's not half bad, we could even do t-shirts!
<DeathStar> <Aya> I don't think I could get up in front of a crowd. 6* She noes
<Sammael> "Think she's already doing those."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If she becomes famous, you can tell everyone you gave her her first job.
* Ariel enters, then pauses at the size of the crowd tongiht.
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure you could if you really wanted to.
<Sammael> "Name a meal after her." *nods*
<Kit> 6Megumi pats Isis fondly. 1"Such a good girl." 6She beams.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena snoozes quietly, apparantly worn out. Erevis waves once to Ariel, making a peace sign to her, then smiles at Xanatos. "She once told me you always encouraged her to try anything when she was little."
<DeathStar> 6* Isis smiles softly, then speaks quietly. "But--I do think it is good to be honest about feelings. You taught me that much, Momma" 6* She says seriously.
* Ariel gives Erevis a smile as she steps over, clueing in now. "So how was the event?"
* Sammael blniks as she notices Ariel come in and moves, taking another seat, leaving one closer to Darien open for Ariel to take. She takes a sip of juice nonchalantly.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Family or...something more, doesn't change the emotion. Just how you go about acting and all that.
<Kit> 6Megumi jerks slightly, then smiles eerily. 1"Ever hear the saying 'do as I say, not as I do?' Hee hee..."
<DeathStar> 6* Isis shrinks back again.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya shakes her head shyly.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Hmmm. I'm not so sure that sounds like me, does i-Hey Ariel.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It was very musical.
<Kit> 6Dawn nudges Aya, nodding encouragingly at Chad.
<Kit> 6Megumi pats Isis again, then smiles softly before heading back off to Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> You've done more things that you thought you'd never do haven't you?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr reaches over to take Drasek's hand, squeezing it.
<DeathStar> <Aya> That's true
* Ariel bows her head, "Xanatos." She takes the seat that takes the open seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at Ariel, nodding. "Hello."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek gives her a smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi, peerign at her crystal as she approaches her
<Chad`Winters> Even your old man knows how to sing.
<Kit> 6Dawn pauses, eyeing Chad skeptically.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well. I mean, maybe she'll do some commercials or promotions of some sort.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Maybe you should sing on stage with Athena. 6* She smiles softly. "It might give me the courage I'd need to perform in front of a crowd."
<Kit> 6Megumi returns with it silver.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You should sign her on before agents get a hold of it
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, then looks utterly shocked.
<Sammael> "Hmmm... an agent..."
* Sammael peers over at Athena.
<Kit> <Megumi> What is wrong, beloved?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Sam. No! 6He points. 1I call dibs.
* Sammael pouts. "Alright, better business mind anyway."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Your necklace is broke or something, Megumi. 6He points.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I-- 6* She pauses, looking unnerved. "I ... excuse me..." 6* She pauses, rising to move for the bathroom.
<Chad`Winters> The last time I sang was when you were too cranky to goto bed.
<Kit> 6Megumi pauses, eyeing it, then frowns. 1"Yes, I told you that, Durran.." 6Then moves after Erevis.
* Ariel looks startled at the others, and then looks to Darien, "...did I miss something?"
<DeathStar> 6* Ao appears on the pad, holding the babies. "We got an emergency." 6* Erevis stops, peering at Ao, and Future Erevis turns as well. Darien shrugs, squinting in Ao's direction
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos arches a brow and stands up. 1What's going on?
* Sammael blinks and looks over at Ao.
<Chad`Winters> Or was it with Warren. 6He scratches his head, then shrugs. 1"Either way, it's not something I really feel like doing much of anymore.
<DeathStar> <Ao> I just got an encoded transmission; the only part that wasn't encoded was who it was to. Darien and Erevis.
* Chad`Winters glances at Ao at all that.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya goes to say something encouraging, but peers toward Ao, curiousity getting her
* Sammael looks over at the Dynamic Future Duo.
<Kit> <Megumi> That is certainly important, but not an emergency yet.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers at Darien and F. Erevis, then looks to Ao.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Whoever sent it was destroyed moments later, as the source was wiped out
<Kit> <Megumi> I did say 'yet...'
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rises. "May we go to the bridge?"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Please. 6He nods and moves to the teleporter.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek frowns slightly, watching them.
* Sammael fidgets a bit and watches.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves as well, as does her future counterpart. Zephyr gets up quickly, and Ao hands the babies to Isis who moves over to take them for her
<Kit> <Megumi> I hate to say this, but Isis, can you watch the children? All three of them?
<DeathStar> 6* Isis nods. "I do not mind."
* Chad`Winters glances at Aya. 1"You should get your tact suit on, just in case."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus hmms. 1That sounds not fun, at all.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek gets up and moves to the teleporter, wanting to feel important.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks. "We should probably hear the message first." 6* She notes, rising to her feet, obviously curious to hera it
<Kit> 6Dawn rises with Aya, Megumi following the two Erevis
* Chad`Winters nods then stands up after her and starts moving for the telepad
<Xanatos> 6* Theron steps in with Naji, having taken the long way, he pauses to see everyone getting on the teleporter and looks confused.
* Sammael puts her drink down and gets up. She moves over to Theron to fill him in.
<DeathStar> 6* Once everyone is on, they are teleported to the bridge. Aya moves to take her seat, and Ao collapses in the XO chair. Erevis moves to sit in her captain's chair, still appearing unnerved. Zephyr crosses her arms worriedly, while Darien and Future Erevis move t othe computer to enter cyphrs to decode
* Chad`Winters stands near the back, his arms crossed now.
<Kit> 6Megumi assumes the pilot's chair-- becuase she can.
<Kit> 6Dawn peers over Aya's shoulder since the weapons aren't necessarily important at this time.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos stands by Ao, hands in his pockets, watching Darien and F. Erevis.
<Sammael> "They got a message for Darien and Erevis... the source was destroyed so it looks like it's an emergency."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek takes the weapon controls, leaning back to cross his arms.
<Kit> 6Dawn slowly peers over at Drasek, blinking.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I see. Hmm. Perhaps I should take my post in security until things have settled. 6He bows to Sam and Naji and then steps on the teleporter, dissappearing.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes and Future Erevis touches a panel to bring it to a screen that appears in the middle of the room. A man's face appears. "Generals, we have discovered the location of one of the last two time gates. We were able to discover it because, I'm afraid, that Legacy is moving it's entire fleet to the gate and slowly bringnig them into the past. We believe they're massing their fleet on your side of the time gate."
* Sammael moves to the teleporter and hits the button for the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* Sammael is denied
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue
* Sammael pouts and hits security then.
<DeathStar> <Man> We can't be sure of the number of ships, but it seems at least 95% of their fleet is getting into position on either side of the gate. It seems they know your intentions to destroy them and are waiting for you. We have no idea where the last time gate is right now, unfortunately."
<DeathStar> 6* The message ends there, and whatever else was said was lost in transmission due to the ship being destroyed
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well this is the worse news I've heard in a long time, and I've heard some doosies.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien frowns, putting a finger to his forehead. Future Erevis shakes her head
<Kit> <Megumi> My guess is a feint. The majority of their stongarms will be there, but the last time gate-- If I had an ace I would use that to sneak it in while we are riled about the main brigades.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'd disagree, actually, Megumi
<Chad`Winters> No need to feint when you know you out power your opponents
<DeathStar> <Darien> Not that the last time gate isn't an ace in their sleeves. As long as they have one open time gate, that future won't be erased from existence. But by putting all their ships in one spot, they'll over power this ship easily when we go to take out that protected gate.
<Kit> <Megumi> We are a resilient bunch. Even if we are outnumbered and powered, you could still end it faster by taking us out with something unexpected in a pincer.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Unless we can get some help, we're really screwed.
<Chad`Winters> We'd need to wipe out that area of space if we stood any chance of destroying that gate
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Don't think we've got anything that strong, mate.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We are too far from allies. <Future Erevis> And we cannot leave any ships on this side of the time gate; even if we erased the future, any ship on this side would be protected adn could cause trouble down the road.
<Chad`Winters> Depends on the area.
<Kit> <Megumi> We did-- but we destroyed it. Twice." 6She peers at Drasek. 1"Centerpoint could have done it."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I wouldn't be so sure, luv.
<Chad`Winters> But I doubt they'd put themselves near any starts.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Stars
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> They can't choose where the gates appear.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Well, we could try to bum rush our way through the gate and destroy the generator on their side. Then if they want to get at us, they'd have to use their second gate.
<Chad`Winters> It depends on how many ships are on this side
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slumps and solemnly eats cheese. 1So much for the party.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Either way we'll be dealing with most of their fleet, we won't make it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pats Marcus, pouring him a glass of wine. Iceheart is still enjoynig herself
<Kit> <Megumi> That is a risky idea. Destroy it on their side. If most of their fleet is on this side, they would not be able to reach us if we closed it from their side.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I am at full power for once.
* Sammael helps Theron in security, nervously wondering what's going on.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC eyes Sammael in security
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> They know we have no choice but to go to them if we want to end their threat. It is a simple 'try if you dare' tactic. 6* She sounds angry.
* Chad`Winters glances up. 1"Based off the data we gathered from the last time we ran into them. How many ships can we deal with at one time?
<Xanatos> 6* Theron is just sitting at his station, having commed all personnel and put them on alert status, he glances to Sam. 1We can call you when we need you.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> If it was me, I'd definitely do it like this.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would depend on how smart we fight. If we fought them directly, I imagine they could overpower us with 3 or 4 ships.
* Sammael rubs the back of her head and nods, "A-Alright... my comms will be open." *she moves back for the teleporter*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> WEll, you have two Dragoon Mechs, too, now.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Understood. Thank you. 6He bows his head slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms in thought
<Chad`Winters> Our best bet would be several hit and runs and hope we can damage as many as possible before coming back in for the final move.
* Sammael teleports back to the bar and moves to take a seat.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Once we attack, the eliminate of surprise is gone. They can't be sure when we'd attack, or if, but once we do, they'll be on alert. We won't get a second chance.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> That's putting alot on you four. 6He says to Zephyr.
<Kit> <Megumi> I can fight at full-potential myself, for once as well. Zephyr and I are no small destructive tactic.
<Chad`Winters> But it also means we'll have to take out as many as possible the moment we drop out.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I know I'm a broken record, but if we could get out teleporters to bypass their shields we could launch nukes right into their ship. Being that someone on this ship knows how to build one.
<Xanatos> NRP: our*
* Chad`Winters glances at Xanatos. 1"We'ld have to literally get them next to the core.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We're not going to bypass their shields unless we get a team on their ship, and I wouldn't recommend that."
<Kit> 6Megumi peers at Zephyr. 1"Though I hate to say it-- you adjusted yourself much like me. 'Paper tiger' I believe is the term. We have much offense, but almost no defense. I would worry if we were in a lot of crossfire."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles softly. "I'd get you home safely."
<Kit> <Megumi> I want you home as well.
<Kit> 6Dawn pauses as Darien says that, whispering to Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya leans in to listen
<Chad`Winters> I'd like to atleast know the area of space we'll be dropping in.
* Sammael takes another sandwich and munches.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We can scout it out and gather some intel, hopefully we won't be detected.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* He rubs his face. "There's also the fact Athena was possessed by Legacy's leader. Seh might subconsciously know some of their numbers and weakensses."
<Chad`Winters> I'm guessing that carries it's risks tho.
<DeathStar> 6* Both Erevises eye DArien with frowns
<Kit> <Megumi> The 'dark goddess?'
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Whoa now mate. The girl didn't do anything to warrant any poking into her noggin.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms, frowning. "Athena is scared of Legacy. I don't like the idea of opening that on her."
<Chad`Winters> It's give us the best chance of success.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shakes his head. 1There has to be another way.
<Kit> <Megumi> I am not so sure she would know anything anyway. Even I had her inside my head before we dove into her's to banish her. I do not recall anything of the sort.
<DeathStar> <Darien> They had Athena for months. There might be something there. Even minute.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not wish to traumatize her by making her remember things. And Kitten may be right, and it would be for naught
<Kit> <Megumi> Unless you knew what you were looking for, I could not allow it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Fair enough
<DeathStar> <Darien> Then the best we can do is scout the area, see what it looks like, and hope we can fight an armada.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos rubs his chin slowly, thinking.
<Chad`Winters> There's a high chance that she will run into Legacy anyways. If you ask me, it'd be best if she learned to overcome her fear now.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. There is something else on my mind
* Sammael eyes her glass quietly.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances towads Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis sits by Athena in a booth, holding the two sleeping babies. Athena is snuggled up to her sister
<Kit> <Megumi> Call it selfish, but I never intended to expose her to Legacy again, even if we encountered it. I planned on asking Xanatos to create the Sapphire with me. If she is holding that, she should be able to suppress any control seizing.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus drinks his wine and eats his cheese, still depressed from the party crashing emergency.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We are lost in space, many thousands of lightyears from Earth, yet you managed to get from Earth with Ariel easily. Is it possible a time gate does not lead to the same location? <Darien> Yeah, it's probable, I guess. <Erevis> Once we are on the other side, we might could repair the deleted star charts and find our way home on this side sooner
<Sammael> "Hope it's not too bad..." *she looks at Marcus* "Maybe... they'll come back?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Doubtful.
<Sammael> "Yeah..."
<Kit> <Megumi> What is on the other side that affects the star charts?
<DeathStar> <Darien> If you give Athena Sapphire, we can't use it in battle.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm not sure I get what you're proposing. 6He says to Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> There's also the strong chance she'll still freeze up in fear making her an easy target
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes Darien, having already known the obvious.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We do not have any star charts. Once we are on the other side, if we ar eclose to Earth, we can input new star charts; if we have them, can we not find our way home?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I guess that's if we get lucky enough to be close to Earth. But if not, then what?
<Kit> <Megumi> The easiest way to take care of the time gates would be to do it from their side as well-- the problem with that is that it leaves most of their fleet on our side in the meantime.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe we will be, considering these two came from Earth and found us
<Kit> <Megumi> We would still need to deal with them.
<Chad`Winters> There's a worse problem. They could decide to close the gate on their side and erase us all out of existence.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah, but if they do that, they lose their future controlled galaxy and resources
<DeathStar> <Ao> It just means we have to hurt their fleet for sure before moving on, though
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> If they just wanted to take over the present they would push all their fleet through the unknown gate and cut off all the time gates.
<Chad`Winters> True, but they also take care of the only thing that stands in their way. They have this entire section of space to do as they please with no challenge. It'd just be about waiting until they could takethe rest over
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. Ao's right. If we cripple their fleet before moving into the future, they won't risk erasing it.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> They'd need those resources too badly for repair.
<Kit> <Megumi> If we could cripple their fleet I would not resort to moving into their spacetime to begin with.
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> I am not so sure they would do anyway- Legacy desires to hurt my ... family very much. Ending it quickly would deny them that
<DeathStar> <Darien> WE have to, Megumi - the time generator is on their side
* Chad`Winters glances at F.Erevis. 1"It's just my opinion on it. If I knew it meant between winning and losing. I'd close the last time gate.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I think she's referring to the fact that we haven't had to do it yet.
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> You work mostly with logic, Chad Winters. The Legacy works on hate and fear. Those are not logical emotions.
<Chad`Winters> If that's the case, then we have nothing to worry about.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Except for...well crippling an entire fleet.
<DeathStar> <Ao> If we destroy the time gate on the other side, if they chase us, ships would be destroyed, right? <Darien> Assuming they'd chase us
<Kit> <Megumi> It is a pity we cannot create a stellar-level EMP. Without their shields, Zephyr and I could easily cripple them with a long-range blast.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis sighs. "IF we are lucky, there might be a star nearby that we could destroy and send out a shockwave and destroy the fleet."
<Chad`Winters> That'd be our best bet.
<Kit> <Megumi> There is something to be said for solid projectile rather than energy weapons." 6She blinks at Zephyr. 1"No offense."
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr sticks out her tongue.
<Chad`Winters> If there's not, we could try to make something close to one.
<DeathStar> <Darien> WEll, I guess now we just need to scout. I volunteer."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> The problem with all of this is that we're going off of luck and 'what ifs'. So until we get some more intel, everyone should go back to what they were doing.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Need some company, mate?
<DeathStar> <Ao> We should probably move Iceheart's ship from the garden, too.
<Kit> <Megumi> No offense, Darien, you are skilled. Yet every time we send you on a mission, you tend to end up crippled or near-death.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Agreed. And I'm sure Iceheart would appreciate it as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien raises a brow. "Hm, it might be safer to go with a non-Progenitor. I don't know hwo well they are at finding your people."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and then nods. 1Course, course. 
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Megumi. "If not me, who?"
* Sammael puts down her glass. "Can I get a refill?"
<Kit> 6Megumi shrugs. 1"Just an observation. Perhaps 'lady luck' is not on your side."
<Chad`Winters> If we luck out and there is a star. We're going to want to position ourselves between the star and the time gate.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs at Megumi.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well. It seems now all we can do is wait for intel.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods and refills for Sam.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I can have Theron or SPoC go with you if you want to assistance Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Sure.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> -That Night-
<DeathStar> 6* After Darien has left, the waiting sets in. Erevis sits outside by the pond, peering at the waters quietly, appearing isolated and withdrawn. Future Erevis quickly returned to her quarters. Aya is up on the bridge, running various calculations of power and what it would take to take otu a star if there is one
<Kit> 6Dawn assists her, also calculating best vantage points and tactical positioning to do so in various situations and variants.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis sleeps in her bed with the two babies, while Zephyr fiddles at the table with the flower dress she was making Megumi
* Sammael is up at her place, holographic displays and readouts flickering in the dim light as she works on a new project, the robot scrapped.
* Chad`Winters sits down in his work shop, a tact suit layed out infront of him and a display infront of him streaming Dawn and Eve's calculations. He works on the suit with his eyes constantly glancing at the data streaming
<Chad`Winters> NRP: aya's even not Eve.s
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander contacts Xanatos via datapad.
* Sammael rotates the image, which appears to be a full sized gauntlet.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sips her sake, eyeing her reflection in the water.
* Ariel steps out to check on Erevis, fingering her comm. "...something wrong?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos checks his datpad.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lifts her head. "I am worried about is to come - amongst other things."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander's face appears on the datapad. "Hello, Durran."
<Chad`Winters> <CommtoAya's> Our best bet would be to remove some of the mass of the star all at once. It'd force the Star to collapse in on itself.
<Ariel> "We're all worried what's about to happen... but... what about the other things?"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Hey, Alex. What can I do for you?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya speaks up. "I'm not sure if we have enough power to do that. Not unless we sacrifice a lot of our crystals."
<Xanatos> 6* Theron is off with Darien, while Drasek sits in the living room, drinking.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I hear that you plan to take on an entire fleet of Legacy ships.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Kitten's crystal was silver. 6* She frowns.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Hmm. Well word does spread fast. That's the general idea right now.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr finishes the flower dress, peering at it, then slips off her own clothes to put it on, to test it
<Ariel> "Silver... hmm... you'll have to excuse me if I don't know what that means."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I think it would be wise to find a planet that can support life and offer the option to everyone to get off the ship; you would be risking well over a 100 lives in the battle. And not all of them signed on for such a fight."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It means neutral emotion wise.
* Sammael rotates the gauntlet, which looks to be part of a set due to some other schematics, she nods and makes an alteration to a connector.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Point. Collapsing star's isn't an easy feat. 6He rubs his face. 1"If we can get this thing to go supernova. We'll still have to deal with staying ahead of it. With as many variables as there are, in that situation, we could also try to ride the initial shockwave into the time gate.
* Ariel pauses a moment, then hugs Erevis, "I'm sure it doesn't mean that."
<DeathStar> <Aya> I wouldn't recommend riding such a wave. It could take out our shields, assuming it doesn't destroy us, and whatever defenses on the other side would wipe us out
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> You're absoultely right Alex. I'll get Aya on searching for such a planet.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She peers down.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Though, for those that stay, there may not be a chance to recover them, it could be for good.
<Ariel> "I can understand hesitation... but... this is Megumi we're talking about."
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> I never said it didn't have it's risks. It'll all come down to timing. We'll have to find a balance of staying on this side long enough to keep them focused on us while the start goes supernova and heads at us all
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Indeed. But sometimes people would pick the option to live with certainity than the option that is uncertain
<DeathStar> <Aya> I think the wisest course of action is to send a ship into the sun with the necessary crystals and power we'd need, and stay near the gate ourselves. It would mean fighting their armada, but it would give no indication what we intend to do, and we'd be closer to go through
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> All that matters if that we give them a choice. 6He says with a nod.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I know. ... but she was intent on hiding the necklace and sometimes I wonder. I have been told I have become quite 'boring'.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps into the living room in the flower only dress, her hair styled like it was in the bar. "How does it look? Think Megumi will like it?" 6* She asks Drasek
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Hmmm. A shame we can't create a miniature black hole
* Sammael nods a bit and moves onto the next piece. She runs through some calculations.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, thinking. "Can't Isis make black holes?"
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks, dropping his beer. 1Bloody hell, bit.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That a 'yes'?
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Maybe...And if I recall, Dark One's were inept at using Dark Matter for engines. And when they overload, they created black holes.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> ...aye luv. That's a big yes.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Hm. But could Isis even make a black hole big enough for our needs?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smirks, a hand on her hip. "Want to pick a floweR?" 6* She jokes.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> It depends on the size of the star. If we could get Billy to assist her, if she's able to. It'd definetly increase the chances of success.
* Ariel shakes her head, "Who told you that you've become boring?" She seems to be a bit suspicious though.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek smirks. 1Or a couple.
<Sammael> "Now apply that shielding... change the focus energy and wavelength..." *she frowns*
<DeathStar> <Aya> You should contact Megumi, Dad; her and Eve were working together on a suit that enhanced her abilities. If we could create something on the ship along the same lines.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers to the side. "IT is not usually said directly, but I have picked up on it from a few people.."
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> I'll check with Alexander about a Dark Matter engine also. 6He taps his comm switching channels to Megumi. 1"Megumi."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander leans forward. "A word of advice. IF you plan to commit to his, you need to fully commit, no matter the risks. If you do it half-assed, you will lose. This enemy will not hold back."
<Kit> 6Megumi answers after a moment.
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes, Winters?
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Did you and Eve ever complete Isis' suit?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We don't have a choice, if we half-ass, we die.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Why do you ask? It would not work for you.
<Ariel> "
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Keep that in mind when deciding what resources to use, and which not to use. Emotions will tie you down. I'll speak with you again when you find a planet. 6* He nods, ending the call
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> I'l take that as a yes. We need the schematics, we have an idea on how to collapse a star if we're lucky to have one. 6He taps his comm, switching to Alexander
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr slides over to Drasek, posing a bit like Athena likes to do. "Yeah? How many?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pockets the datapad, moving towards his teleport.
<Ariel> "Well... you've started to settle down, haven't you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander answers. "Yes?"
<Kit> 6Megumi peers at her comm as Chad hangs up on her. 1"How rude."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Well. How many's on the dress?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "I believe so."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> A lot.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> I know Earthgov had their hands deep in Dark One technology, how much do you remember about the Dark Matter engines?
<DeathStar> <Alexander on comm> Not enough to make one if that's what you're aiming for. I don't have those files on hand and I never committed such a thing to memory."
* Sammael continues to go through designs, apparently weapons and armor come to her a lot more clearly then robot kitties. To one side of her work are Myria's notes and works.
<Kit> <Megumi> Collapsing a start requires a gravitic distortion or energy balance fluctuation. The suit..." 6She muses, then narrows her eyes. 1"Ah-hah." 6She pages Chad back, heading for the lake in the meantime.
<Ariel> "You've started to focus on your family. That's.. not the most exciting thing in the world. But it's important."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Guess the answer would be 'a lot' then.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I try to be spontaneous. For example I engaged Kitten in sex on the kitchen table once. I read it is important to remain 'fresh and new' for one's mate. But with this battle against Legacy, I fear sometimes I do not do enough. ... I ruined the gambling trip for Kitten that we took to Loki's casino.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> We want to use a black hole to collapse a star if there is one. We think we can use the principle behind Isis' suit to achieve that and with a Dark Matter engine I'm confident it'd work.
<Xanatos> 6*Xanatos appears on the bridge and moves over to peer at Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr seems to think, fidgeting. "Want to...lay down on your bed?"
<Sammael> "Okay... we can start on the tact suit and the gauntlets... construction that is... I need more time on this gun..."
<Kit> 6Megumi waits a moment, then calls Alexander instead.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander pauses, eyeing Megumi, then just opens a three-way chat. "I don't know enoug habout Dark Matter engines, but it's possible that Darien from the future might."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks up
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses. 1Really?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Can you do me a favor?
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Hopefully he'll make it back then. It'd easily be able to do the trick. I think we Isis' abilities and Billy helping her along with this, we'd be able to collapse a star easily.
* Sammael sends Xanatos the overall data on what she's ready for, she grabs her coffee and takes a sip.
* Ariel sighs and nods... not sure what to say. "I'm afraid I don't have the most relationship experience to draw upon."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, you know...just lay. 6* She seems embarrassed to even be asking. "Maybe you can play that guitar of yours and I can listen."
<Kit> <Megumi> I withheld information on their principles above the decaying gravity proportions necessary for energy supplement, Winters. As cute as it was to request my research and then go over my head to Alexander.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> ...Clearly you think too much. I'm in a rush.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Of course bit. Of course. 6He nods twice, getting to his feet.
<DeathStar> <Aya> What do you need, Mr. Xanatos?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I need to find a planet with suitable living conditions.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves for Drasek's room, her hands behind her back. Apparantly she only has two flowers on her butt, one on each cheek
<DeathStar> <Aya> Where at?
<Kit> <Megumi> I did not want Earth, not necessarily Alexander, governing a technology so destructive. It would have been too dangerous to leave in the hands of irresponsible future leaders. Are you planning on using Isis for something without telling me first, Winters?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Close by. I want to give people the option to remain behind incase they don't want to put their lives on the line.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander pauses at the mention of Isis. He types Chad a message, indicating Megumi might know more about Dark Matter engines than he does, considering her field of research
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek smirks at the sight and hops up, moving after her.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Okay, I understand. 6* She looks at Dawn. "Can you handle the sun calculations for me until I find a planet?"
<Kit> 6Dawn nods slowly, assuming the work.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods to each of them. 1Thank you. Let me know when you find something. 6He moves down the stairs to 1B, checking his datapad.
* Chad`Winters eyes his datapad. 1"Like I said, you assume to much. I'm simply moving along on something Aya and I came up with.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Ariel. "What have you done spontaneously in your relationships?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Your plan to use a blackhole in the center of a star, I'm guessing, instead of trying to use all of our power to make it go super ova.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> That's the plan. We get one somewhere inside it, it'll start to destabilize it's mass and eventually force it to collapse itself.
* Ariel seems a little embarassed, "Ah... well..."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus seems to be cooking, even though there's no customer right now that needs it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh-I understand. You do not have to say.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> It holds the highest chance of success and allows us to maintain as much power
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina clears her throat from their bed, wearing nothing.
<Kit> <Megumi> It also holds the highest risk for Isis becoming like me or worse.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and leans back slowly, eyeing her. 1Yowza!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wouldn't you rather spice something else up rather than the food?
<DeathStar> <Alexander on comm> I thought you and Eve worked on a way to amplify her abilities without putting much strain on her. Is there something we can built to do that on a larger scale? CHIP does have enough power to make things.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ah, you know me, I cook when I'm nervous. 6He turns the burners off and slides up to the doorway, peering in at her. 1But, I'm sure there might be other ways to releive my tension.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> I understand you're concern for her health and well-being but right now what's important is we work to see if it's even possible.
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> Oh, you think?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shifts to sit on Drasek's bed.
<Kit> <Megumi> It is quite possible." 6She narrows her eyes.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh sure, sure. Like, I dunno. You like checkers? 6He smiles.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6* She gives him 'the look'.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek lifts up his guitar and sits down beside her. 1Want to help me play one?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves up behind Ariel and Erevis, clearing his throat to reveal his approach.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Then I believe we should follow this incase it's an option. The suit itself if designed correctly should put little stress on her and if Billy's dark powers are able to help, it'd lower the chance of harm to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander peers at Chad on his datapad. "Do you think it's possible Aya could use her mimic powers to also use Isis' abilities. If they could half-the load for each other."
<Ariel> "Thank you." She pauses, considering, "It might not be..."
* Ariel cuts off, hearing Xanatos
* Sammael pulls up the schematics for a rifle, working on the data Myria collected to creat the proper chambers and output devices for firing. She yawns a bit as she goes over one equation a few times.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, peering back toward Xanatos
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus rubs his chin, then slides in and shuts the door, he begins to pull his clothes off.
<Kit> <Megumi> I came up with the basis using Famfrit's matter manipulation to deal with Legion, and furthered its advancement to dark matter to deal with Ao. I worked with Eve to develop standalone mechanical systems that could handle gravitic distortion like turbines so Earth could use it as an energy source.-- But I did not hand over the higher processes to Alexander.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Never tried to play before.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Sorry to interrupt, I just wanted to run something by you. 6He says as he slows to a stop a little bit from them.
<Kit> <Megumi> Something like that leaked to Earth could lead to bitter conflicts in the future.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> You hold the chords, I strum. I'll show you where to place your hand, think you can handle it?
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> It depends on how much she's been exposed to Isis and probably that power in particular. It's possible honestly and I'm sure Aya would do it without a seconds thought if it meant this plan working.
<DeathStar> <Erevs> I would not run fast; we are in front of the pond. 6* She is wearing her silk robe, the necklace still on
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah.
<DeathStar> <Alexander on Comm> Megumi. In this situation, we need to try all available options, but we'd need you to help build this thing.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek nods and holds out his hand. 1Give me your...what hand do you use the most?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I use both hands equally. It made me a better assassin.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm too lazy. 6He says with a smile then continues. 1I'm having Aya look for a livable planet so that if anyone wishes to stay instead of risking their lives, they can choose to do so.
<Kit> <Megumi> Forgive me if you do not understand my reasoning. This is something that in peace time could easily lead to more warfare and power struggles. Not to mention if anyone was invaded by Legacy, they could steal the information and it could be used to wipe us out. If--
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. That is very thoughtful.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I can't take credit, it was Alexander's idea. I just thought I would run it by you too, boss. 6He winks when he calls her boss.
<Kit> <Megumi> IF-- it is truly the best and only option. I will go against my judgement and engineer what you require.
<DeathStar> <Alexander on Comm> I see your point; but if only you and Chad and Eve make this thing, and we destroy it afterwards, that minimizes such a risk. CHIP listens to you; if you order it destroyed, he'll do it
* Sammael makes an adjustment and frowns. "Doesn't look the best... but if it does what it needs..."
<Kit> <Megumi> Then I might suggest something that would take less time and be more efficient.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> You doubt Aya and my intelligence?
<DeathStar> <Alexander on Comm> Never. And what would that be, Megumi?
<Xanatos> <Drasek> If I say 'hot', does that me creepy?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see nothing wrong with such a thing.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> N-No.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just holds up her left hand
<Kit> <Megumi> I can engineer modular devices that act as extension routers and be used as access points for Isis' HALO.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> And how is this quicker?
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander mouths 'Halo' a moment
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gives a slight bow. 1I'll leave you two ladies to your conversations. Try not to talk about me when I walk away, but yes, I have been working out.
* Chad`Winters shrugs at that
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I had not noticed.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Fair enough, you place your hand like this. 6He takes it and shows her the finger placement. 1Now you've gotta put some pressure too it, but don't break my guitar, alright?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm not that brutish. Sheesh
* Sammael picks up a cookie and eyes it, icing shaped like a white kitty on it, she smiles and munches, then looks back over her work, one display lights up with a stylized smiley, she taps it to see more data on the guns. "Much less to do then with an AI... yet... fun."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Oof. 6He holds his chest as he backs away. 1That's going to sting for a while.
<Kit> <Megumi> Think, Chad. Release them when we arrive and we can make our move toward the timegate as we wish. With the HALO's programs and routines uploaded directly into CHIP, the ship can be used as a magnifier-- and the modules would make far less strain on bouncing the 'signal' toward the star.
<Kit> <Megumi> If you try to do it outright, it's too much strain. If we try to create a device to generate it, it would require too much time and power.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Thinking requires me to know how this Halo works. I don't believe it would with Chip's help.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Come now, I'm messin with you. 6He strums slowly and nods slightly. 1Not bad, not bad. Now Technically it's just a strum for each note, but a good guitar players adds a bit of feel...or maybe rhytmn might be the right word. But what you should know is that most songs run in 4/4 timing. You know what that is?
* Ariel lets out a breath, "...it is hard, with the conflict."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches Xanatos go, slightly amused, then peers at Ariel. "Yes. Have you and Darien Starr had much time to spend together?"
<Kit> <Megumi> The HALO is the headset device for Isis' tactsuit. It interprets her psychic signals and is what translates the routines for her suit to amplify them with the REST's energy reserves.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Not a clue
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos mosies back off to his zone now, certain those women are talking about his hind parts.
* Ariel shakes her head, "Not as much as I'd like."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is a shame. Perhaps I should invite him to dinner more for you
<Kit> <Megumi> Upload those into CHIP and it should be short work for him to do the same thing when he receives the signal's from Isis.
<DeathStar> <Alexander on Comm> I'm afraid I'm a bit lost.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> That would require the star to be close to the timegate. If it's too far out, odds are it won't work. Or if they put any sort of jamming fields up, it risks it not working also
<Kit> <Megumi> That would be the purpose of the modular devices.
<Ariel> "I... wouldn't object to that."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> 4 beats in a bar, which is essentially the time it takes. So consider 4 beats in a 4 second interval. A beat a second, yeah?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You do realize you can invite him to your portion of the house. 6* She motions at the added on part that is Ariel's.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Uh, okay. I think I got that
<Kit> <Megumi> Simpler put it links Isis and CHIP. They essentially can interact on the same level as if they were one or the other while the HALO is in use. Because CHIP would interpret Isis' brain signals CHIP would be able to use her matter manipulation. Because CHIP is linked to Isis, she could use the energy reserves to make a stronger-- and far reaching effect.
<DeathStar> <Alexander on Comm> I see. And being psionic and part psionic, CHIP can accomplish that
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Just count in your head for 4 seconds when I start playing, then chance to this note. 6He repositions her hand. 1We'll run through that first, alright?
<DeathStar> *part progenitor
<Kit> <Megumi> The work for that is already done by uploading the HALO's programming to CHIP. Spend the time bolstering CHIP's existing energy sources and use the information I have researched with Eve and EarthGov to create more energy supplies using the dark energy theories.
<Ariel> "I... will keep that in mind. It can be a little awkward though."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps into his zone, moving over and lifting up a basketball to preoccupy himself.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. Does Tiny Kitten spy on you?
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> They also seem keen against Psionics. It carries the risk that they'll know something is up instantly
<Kit> <Megumi> We cannot do anything about the crystal's energy source, but if we start reinforcing CHIP with the dark energy suppliers, it should give him more to fall back on and replenish itself.
<DeathStar> 6* The basketball deflates. It seems it was sabotaged
<DeathStar> <Alexander on Comm> Yes, they would probably wnat to take out Isis.
* Sammael sits back and messages Xan. [Busy?]
<Kit> <Megumi> That was some of the most difficulty in creating the HALO, you two." 6She finally smiles. 1"It took me so long because of the security routines I created."
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Which means they could take over not only Isis, but Chip then.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and frowns. 1Aw man. 6He peers around.
<DeathStar> 6* CHIP speaks to Xan. "Ao says 'ha ha'."
<Kit> <Megumi> The HALO only functions from itself. If it does not recognize the wearer's DNA code, it will not respond at all. Even if they hack CHIP or invade psychicly, unless they have Isis' exact thought patterns and DNA structure, they cannot do anything as long as Isis controls it.
<Ariel> "It is quite busy around here."
<DeathStar> <Alexander on Comm> And you are sure if Isis is taken over, her thought pattern will change enough to make it useless?"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Tell her that she's got one coming now. 6He says with a scornful shake of his fist, then responds to Sam, [What can I do for you?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will speak to her about spying on you, then
<Kit> <Megumi> I never would have presented it to Isis if it would have made her susceptible to being psionically controlled.
<Kit> 6Megumi nods. 1"I am, after all, married to one of the strongest psychics I know of, if not the."
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> They also had Isis for awhile. Which means they probably have her DNA
* Sammael looks about her place as she types. [Coffee? Been staring at monitors for hours.]
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander addresses Chad. "So far it has seemed to me they are not quite like Dark Ones; they need the user to be afraid or angry to take them over. If Isis exhibits neither, then her plan may work."
<Kit> <Megumi> If they do not have her HALO physically, they still cannot use its signals.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Well we have two ideas. It doesn't matter to me at this point which ones chosen.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ... 6He hmms and then responds with, [Alright. Bar?]
<Kit> <Megumi> The only risk would be to take over not CHIP or HALO, since both are immune, but Isis herself. We can protect against that ourselves. If it came down to it-- we would take the HALO off of her and the functions would cease control.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Ooo, you got a date with Sam. 6* He reveals to him about Sam naming Xanatos as a love interest
* Sammael taps away, [If you want.]
<Ariel> "Don't be hard on her, she's just... inquisitive."
<DeathStar> <Alexander on Comm> I'll update Eve on this for you two and have her meet you two so you can al lbegin. 6* He exits the conversation
<Kit> <Megumi> In order to start creating the extra energy suppliers, however, I need Eve's help and the largest group of engineers we can amass.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Indeed.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and slowly looks up to the ceiling. 1...I already told her that I had no intentions of that happening.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Chip can probably manufacter them for us.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> ... awwwwwwwkward.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis enters the bar and gets a sake bottle from Mia
<Kit> <Megumi> The parts, yes, but if we use his energy creating them it defeats the entire point.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Okay, I'm ready.
* Sammael gets up and stretches, she ties her long hair back and heads to the bar.
<DeathStar> 6* Moving to a booth, the older Erevis begins to drink
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Pass the two plans onto Erevis and Xanatos and let them decide which one they thinks best. Then let me know.
* Sammael moves to a table and takes a seat, waiting.
<Xanatos> 6* Mum leans against the counter boredly.
<Kit> <Megumi> Understood." 6She turns the comm off, having been walking to the lake anyway-- she dials Xanatos though.
* Ariel glances at her comm a moment, "Do you want to come inside, or do you still want to sit out here by the pond?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gives a shrug and moves for the teleporter, he pauses and answers his comm. 1Johnny's Quick Lube this is Bud speaking.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe I will sit here a while longer. Thank you for speaking with me. I will have CHIP let you know when Darien Starr comes back
<Kit> <Megumi> Erevis...
* Chad`Winters sends a message to Aya, letting her know what Megumi has for a plan.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek nods to her. 1I'll be gentle. 6He says with a wry smile, before strumming the guitar.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers toward Megumi, her eyes shifting to see if her necklace is on
<Kit> 6Megumi waves to her and peers at Ariel once before relaying the whole ideas to Erevis and Xanatos over the comm
<Kit> 6Megumi is still wearing the silver crystal
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sticks out her tongue, then focuses to do her part.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers toward the pond as she listens. "I have faith in you, KItten."
* Ariel smiles, resting her hand Erevis' shoulder as she steps inside to get something to eat
<DeathStar> 6* Aya relays to Dawn and begins to try to do calculations to see how close they'd need to be to said star
<DeathStar> 6* Eve steps into engineering
<Kit> 6Megumi leaves the comm open so Xanatos can comment or whatever, but leans over Erevis. 1"Beloved, what is bothering you?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... ... am I boring to you? 6* She asks, not aware the comm is open.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have noted your crystal is silver when you look upon me.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos goes to say something, but pauses, keeping quiet.
<Kit> <Megumi> That was it, beloved?" 6She blinks.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... 6* She looks down. "I have noted I am not as interesting as others."
<Kit> <Megumi> Beloved." 6She notes to get her attention.
* Chad`Winters sets his datapad to the side and goes back to working on Aya's suit while he waits
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis keeps drinking
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers up
<Kit> 6Megumi reaches up to her crystal and dissolves an outer layer into sand she'd wreathed it in, revealing the red underneath.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... you put something over it?
<Kit> <Megumi> Of course.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve sits down at her station in engineering, beginning to work
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not understand
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> To keep from letting me see how she feels about me. 6He chimes in on the comm.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, blinking at that
<DeathStar> <Erevis> X-Xanatos Durran?
<Kit> <Megumi> I am insecure. I am simply not ready to reveal my own feelings when I am unsure of others' true opinions.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then leans up to kiss her lips, holding her tightly. "You had me worried, Kitten." 6* She scolds, her tone relieved and angry. "...am I boring, though?" 6* She adds.
<Kit> <Megumi> Beloved, I could never picture you boring.
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis sighs in relief, then speaks to Xanatos. "I am sorry Kitten is so difficult to you."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses. 1Not bad, not bad. For a beginner. 6He chides with a smile, before going into teaching her the rest of the song.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm used to it. And as for making a decision, I'm going to leave this one up to you Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr listens; she might be a bit tone deaf, but she seems capable of memorizing what Drasek does to repeat it
* Sammael orders coffee, she looks up at the ceiling.
<Kit> <Megumi> Utilizing CHIP by synchronising the HALO is the safest to Isis and the most energy efficient. It would be my decision-- but I realize I am not infallible.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I support your decision.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Me too. Now if you excuse me, I've got a Sam to attend too. Enjoy your evening. 6He closes the comm, hitting the bar.
<Kit> <Megumi> Very well. Durran-- You have engineering experience. As long as you are off duty, I need you.
<Kit> 6Megumi twitches in annoyance, comming him again
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks at the mention of Sam, peering down
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis peers up at Xanatos entering the bar. Mia pokes Mum, nodding to her. "Time to begin plans."
* Sammael waves him over, perking up.
<Xanatos> 6* Mum pauses and nods, moving off to get prepared.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a lump in ARiel's bed under the sheets
<DeathStar> 6* Mia follows
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gives F.E. a smile and then sits down across from Sam. 1Hello Sam.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis nods, going back to her sake
* Sammael smiles. "Hello Xan."
<Kit> 6Megumi keeps comming Xanatos, now mad.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises up and strips off her robe, completely naked, and moves to get in the pond.
* Ariel puts her sandwich down on the table, and steps over to poke the lump.
<DeathStar> 6* The lump wiggles.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and holds up a finger to sam, then answers. 1Yeeeees?
<Kit> <Megumi> Beloved, you will be needed on the bridge for a while. It will be unoccupied while Ao needs to rest.
<DeathStar> 6* CHIP informs Chad that Megumi's decision was accepted
<Kit> <Megumi> I need you to meet in engineering-- bring Sammael as well.
* Chad`Winters glances up and he stands, setting his tools down. He makes his way out of his workshop and out of his house to the telepad and hits engineering
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises from the water, nodding. "I will go there right after I finish washing off." 6* She answers, shifting to swim in the moonlit pond.
* Sammael tilts her head a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Mia moves out with candles and sets them down, lighting them, and sets down a bottle of wine for the two, pouring them glasses
* Ariel speaks up, with exagerated emphasis. "Oh man. I am tired. I think I will just flop over into bed." She sits down heavily on the side of the bed.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos on Comm> Alright. We'll be there soon. 6He gives Sam a shrug, 1Sorry Sam, I guess we have more work to get done.
<Kit> <Megumi> CHIP, please inform all members of this ship with degree-level mechanical skills, especially Chad, Aya, Isis, Dawn, Eve, Alexander, and Iceheart.
<DeathStar> 6* The lump jerks and Athena snakes over to lay quickly across Ariel, still in her black dress.
<Xanatos> 6* Mum comes out with a crystal violin and begins to play. Xanatos arches a brow and glances from them to Sam.
* Sammael blinks and looks at Mia, then Xan. "I-I suppose we do." *she looks thoroughly embarrased*
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Are you certain on Isis? She is asleep with the babies.
<DeathStar> 6* CHIP contacts them one by one. Aya responds she'll be delayed a bit. Iceheart looks up from her foot massage Freyja is giving her ,sighing.
<Kit> <Freyja> I wonder what it could be...
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> *sighs* I don't get paid for any of this.
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes-- tell her to leave them with Ao for now.
<Kit> <Freyja> It has to be important or they wouldn't call specifically..
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Understood. 6* A moment later a startled merowl is heard from the house as CHIP wakes up Isis
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart groans. "But my feet..."
* Ariel smiles, "So tired you couldn't find your way to your own room, could you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Mia leans in. "Suggest romantic pasta."
<DeathStar> <Athena> Came to give recording of concert. FEll asleep waiting. 6 *She notes tiredly, holding up a datapad chip
<Kit> <Freyja> I'll come with you." 6She notes.
* Chad`Winters sets his datapad on his terminal and he sits down, bringing up the schematics of the ship.
<DeathStar> 6* ICeheart sighs, nodding as she gets up
<Sammael> "I-I'm sorry you two... but we have to go to work... emergency..." *she looks lost between embarrasment and apologetic at ruining the attempt*
<Xanatos> <Mum> ... She stops playing, making a face to move into the back.
<DeathStar> 6* Mia stares, then frowns. "Not get man if work."
<Xanatos> NRP: Action that.
<Kit> <Megumi> Isis, please bring the REST and HALO.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos watches them quietly, not saying anything.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis acknowledges shakily a moment later
<DeathStar> 6* Mia follows Mum. Future Erevis tilts her head as she watched the whole scene
* Sammael blinks and comes up with something. "Working with. Will see later." *she gets up, going red, she gives Xan a 'oh god I'm sorry' look*
* Ariel gives Athena a hug, "Thank you. That's kind of you." She considers, then adds, "Most people don't fall asleep waiting UNDER the covers, however."
<DeathStar> <Athena> MOre comfy. Should join Athena Fan Club. Only 30 credits.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos rubs his head but moves to the teleporter, not saying anything.
* Sammael looks at the wine, downs her glass and moves to catch up with Xan.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis watches them go
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> That was way elaborate. 6He says after a minute, then hits engineering.
<Kit> 6Megumi moves to the telepad and to engineering after summoning everyone.
* Sammael sighs when they reappear. "I didn't plan that... they mean well, they're playing Cupid with me it seems."
* Chad`Winters glances back as Xanatos arrives. 1"...You're helping us?"
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek and Zephyr finally play a whole song after a bit of trial and error. 1Well well, you've just played your first song, luv.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I guess?
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Now I definetly feel safer with my plan.
<Sammael> "Okay, they are, they tried it with Paladin earlier."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Did it sound good?
<DeathStar> <CHIP> They are only trying it with the people you named. 6* He chimes in to Sam
<Sammael> "B-But I told them Xan already said no..."
* Ariel laughs, "30 credits... I'll have to think about it. Pricey."
<Kit> <Megumi> Do not knock him, Winters. He may not be an engineering or physics genius, but he has built and worked on ships. As the only thing I will require of each team is to build essentially a ship's energy supply, he is well enough.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Hah. 6* He replays the conversation
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos eyes Sam as he listens to the conversation. 1We've already went over this, Sam.
<Chad`Winters> Right. 6He says simply. 1"Times wasting. Let's get started then."
<Sammael> "I-I know we did! That's only part of the conversation!"
* Sammael pouts up at CHIP.
<Kit> <Megumi> Waiting on one more..." 6She looks at the telepad, fidgeting.
* Chad`Winters eyes the two. 1"Can we worry about your love life later."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart steps into engineering
* Sammael looks down, fidgeting. "Sorry..."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Oh hush Chad. Look there's something over there that's in a pair of three.
<DeathStar> 6* A moment later, Isis steps in, her hair a mess from having gone to sleep. She looks embarrassed.
<Chad`Winters> So six of them. That's good to know.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena puffs cheeks. "Athena fan club worth it."
<Kit> 6Freyja clings to Iceheart, looking out of place.
<Kit> <Megumi> Iceheart, did you see Darien..?
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Mind telling me why I'm here, and no.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Math always rough for me.
* Chad`Winters explains it to Iceheart.
<Kit> <Megumi> ... CHIP, can you summon Darien, too?
<DeathStar> <CHIP> ... he's...not on the ship
* Sammael listens curiously.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Scouting, remember Megumi?
* Ariel smiles, "I'm sure it is."
<Kit> 6Megumi facepalms.
<Kit> 6Megumi explains about CHIP and using HALO to interact, then about reinforcing all the energy supplies with dark energy-based generators, which is the need for everyone with engineering/ship structure experience.
* Chad`Winters eyes Megumi repeating what he said
<DeathStar> 6* Athena reaches into her dress to hand Ariel a crystal heart the size of ring. She hands it to her. "For Grandma. Turns blue if like person facing, turns red if love person."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart thinks. "I can bring my crew in on this, to help."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> No offense to...well me I guess, but this is kinda over my head, how can I help?
<Chad`Winters> You can keep me awake since this will take all night
<Kit> <Megumi> If you are willing to help, those of you with more experience will each lead your own teams to create one of these.." 6She brings up a holo schematic with CHIP's help, of one of the engines she created with Eve.
<Kit> 6Megumi smiles at Iceheart. 1"You may lead your own team, then."
* Ariel takes it gingerly. "Where did you get a crystal like that?"
<DeathStar> <Athena> Made it.
* Sammael tilts her head slowly. "Looks easy enough."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Hm. Well, here goes nothing, I guess. 6* She rubs her face.
<Kit> <Megumi> I will speak with Erevis about compensation, Iceheart, as you are a third party after all.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart nods. Alexander steps in with a basket of food.
<Chad`Winters> We should come up with a back up plan incase there is no star for us to use.
<Kit> 6Megumi peers at Xanatos. 1"Since it is 'easy' to Sammael, you should assist her." 6Her eyes say more like 'keep an eye on' though.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> You can assist her with candlelight.
<Ariel> "That's very impressive actually."
* Sammael goes red again.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena beams.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.9.29 - Mid Day -
<DeathStar> Location: Ship
<DeathStar> 6* After working through the night and the morning, things have been progressing as smoothly as one can hope. Darien's shuttle is currently just finished landing in the hanger, while Aya calls Xanatos to the bridge, having been there most of the night
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos appears on the teleporter, moving towards Aya. 1Yes, Aya. Have you found anything?
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart is asleep in a chair in engineering; Eve is still working, drinking coffee.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yes. I think I found a planet. 6* She brings up the star charts and zooms in on what scans she could manage of a planet. "A bit warmer than Earth, but it should be habitable."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is on the bridge, asleep, holding Iko and Ako
* Sammael is also still working, her coffee consumption up there among the champions.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis looks exhausted as she sits down to break; her ears actually look a bit droopy
<Kit> 6Dawn whispers to Aya's ear, having finished several variants and tactical approaches to the fleet and any said star.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers over the readings, rubbing his eyes slightly. 1Alright, I want you to send this information to Alex if you can, then after that you should probably get some rest, alright?
* Ariel stands in the hangar, having head down as soon as she heard.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena remains in Ariel's bed, less she got thrown out
* Chad`Winters continues working, having not stopped to take any rests or breaks through the night and morning.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I think I'm needed to help with this project, actually. 6* She sends it to Alexander, who is back in his office, breaking
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hops out of the shuttle, waving a hand at Ariel.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well, don't overwork yourself. 6He nods once, in thanks.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hi, Ariel. Headed to hte bridge. 6* He notes, nodding her to follow as he moves to the teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya smiles, then gets up and quietly moves past Erevis to the teleporter pad to go to engineering
<Xanatos> 6* Theron steps down the ramp, doing the post flight check over the shuttle for Darien.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves over and leans down to peer at the babies and Erevis.
* Sammael sits back, yawning a little more as she looks at what she's accomplished so far. She finishes the rest of her mug.
* Ariel nods, and moves over to Darien's side. She wants to ask, but figures she'll save Darien the pain of explaining twice.
<DeathStar> 6* Ako opens her eyes, peering at Xanatos with curious wonder. She then proceeds to bite on Erevis' breasts for food, causnig her to jerk and open her eyes
<DeathStar> 6* Aya walks up to Chad. "Need anything, Dad?"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Morning.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I---good morning...Xanatos. 6* She winces at Athena
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek slowly stirs and opens his eyes.
* Chad`Winters glances over to Aya. 1"No I'm fine...What time is it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's face is right there in front of Drasek's face, her eyes closed as she sleeps.
<Kit> 6Dawn rubs his head then head to engineering after tidying up his files as well
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Are you even able to nurse anymore? 6He glances downt o Athena.
<DeathStar> <Aya> It's a little after brunch.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and smiles, leaning his head back and staring at the ceiling.
<Chad`Winters> Huh..6He rubs his face. 1"Yeah I'm fine. Let me get you caught up so you know where we're at." 6He begins to explain where all the teams are at currently and whats left
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Due to the fact Isis takes twice as long to age, I had Caduceus aid me in lengthening the amount of time I could nurse; I had planned to stop with Kitten being able to do so, though..." 6* She sighs, shifting to accomodate Athena.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and ARiel step onto the bridge via teleporter.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> It saves on bottles at least. 6He leans back and then peers towards Darien. 1Welcome back.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus struts through the kitchen, making some lunch for everyone that's working in engineering.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis is still in her booth
<DeathStar> <Darien> Thanks. 6* He moves over and inserts his data chip into a computer, bringing up image files of the large time gate; there's 16 ships gathered at the gate, with 2 more patrolling the area; more images show an asteroid field some ways away, between the time gate and a large star that looks orange.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, and moves to an area to begin work. Isis begins to nod off as she sits near Chad and Sam
* X1 has joined #taw
* Chad`Winters glances at Isis then nudges her. 1"Get some sleep."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts to peer at the data. 1Well, there's that star people were hoping for.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis blinks. "B-But there is much to be done..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hoping for a star?
<Sammael> "Will work more efficiently after a nap."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies the pictures as they cycle; none of the Legacy ships come close ot matching the size of CHIP - but most seem t obe based on future ship designs. Some even look like Angela's designs, as if a big FU from the grave.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> They wanted a planet, but a star could work too.
<Chad`Winters> And you need to be fully rested if this plan's going to work.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, there is a planet. 6* He notes, tapping a few buttons, and brings up two planets. "One has a primitive lizard like race on it."
<DeathStar> <Isis> T-true, but...all of you are still working, and I would...feel bad...
<Chad`Winters> Don't worry about it Isis. Aya's here and she can cover for you. Just get some rest, alright?
<DeathStar> 6* Isis nods, rising and bowing, then moves for the teleporter pad. Her crystal shines blue when she bows to Chad
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos hmms. 1They came up with a plan that we've been working on, after seeing this data I think we can finally get a plan locked in.
<DeathStar> <Darien> What is the plan, then?
* Sammael yawns herself and keeps working. She waves to Isis a moment and looks back at her work.
* Chad`Winters glances at it but assumes it's just a blue necklace and he turns back to going to work.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I don't really understand it. But I know it involves Isis, CHIP, and a blackhole. Oh and something about Halo's. Megumi could explain it better.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sighs as Iko wakes up and wants food. She shifts to accomodate her now as well, looking frazzled.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I... see.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Ariel
<Ariel> "I... didn't hear much of this plan."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> But now that there are innocents in place, people may want to rethink this plan.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. Maybe so
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> -Afternoon-
<DeathStar> Location: Conference Room
<DeathStar> 6* Darien has gathered everyone to show the images. Alexander says nothing, while Future Erevis, clearly drunk, never shows any signs of it impairing her, and she frowns. Ao drums her fingers with a look; Aya isn't present, catching some sleep, though Erevis and Zephyr are there
<Kit> <Megumi> ...
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms. 1"I say we still go on with the plan.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos and Drasek are both there, with Theron standing off to the side since he was also there.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Despite innocents?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits down, peering toward Xanatos and Erevis, since it's their show
* Sammael rubs her head a bit, tired from the work, but there.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> If we hold back we will be destroyed.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve drinks her coffee, shaking her head in thought, while Iceheart sits there, having Freyja give her a shoulder massage
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I don't much like the thought of killing this planet.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... yeah, it's wrong. Totally wrong
<Chad`Winters> Our plan's success relys on us making the star go super nova. Unless Darien and Future Erevis can offer us a way to do the exact same thing without harming that planet. I see no other way.
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> I... am afraid...that I could of.....offah...no such...plan.
<DeathStar> 6* She speaks slowly, clearly still talking slow when drunk
<Kit> <Megumi> ..." 6She sighs. 1"Always something."
* Chad`Winters glances at Darien.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Can't say I like it myself either, bit. But we've really not got a choice, do we?
<Kit> <Megumi> The other option is assault.
<Chad`Winters> We wouldn't survive.
* Sammael frowns deeply. "And in an assauly we weill lose lives... if not everyone's.'
<DeathStar> <Darien> Sometimes sacrifices have to be made.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, you know, who else said that shit? General Cran
<Kit> <Megumi> I prepared the extra energy resources for a reason. If you wish that planet to survive-- we could turn Isis and CHIP on the armada directly. Create the technique in the center-- and when it takes ahold, Zephyr and I-- and beloved and mama knight-- assault.
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms.
<Kit> <Megumi> it is not a 'for sure' plan, but with the preparations, it is much more sound than we originally intended.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the table, her necklace a silver color, apparantly not liking or loving the table. She eyes Ariel to take her side
<Chad`Winters> That'd it only work if the ships stay grouped. Eventually they'll surround us and take us out
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... ... 6* She seems to be thinking hard, her eyes closed. Ao peers to the side.
<Kit> <Megumi> They are grouped now-- if we catch them like that, they will not be able to surround us with the gravitic force of a black hole in their very midst.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I think if we do this, it'll weigh heavily on our concious. At least it will mine.
<Sammael> "I believe no matter what we think up... the choice to act on our plans will not come easily."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm not helping any plan that kills innocent people.
<Chad`Winters> And we also risk that black hole affecting the time gate.
<Kit> <Megumi> If we destroy it, it is not necessarily a loss.
<Ariel> "I hate to sound like a pestimist... but... only 16 ships?"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Only?
<DeathStar> <Darien> 'Only'? And it's 18
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Sometimes in war you have to make hrad choices, Zephyr; I know Warren taught you that.
<Ariel> "With everything I've seen them throw around... I would have expected a few more." *glances at the display* "Or maybe... it just seems like it's not enough, since it doesn't make sense to put all of their cards in clear sight."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glares at Alexander.
<Kit> <Megumi> Being optimistic, if it was created directly where the center chip lies-- it would destroy that ship instantly and make all those directly next to it useless-- the gravity field of a black hole is inescapable, those in the next priority distance would not be able to move-- and those on the fringe would move little if at all.
<DeathStar> <Darien> WE have to assume there's a few on the other side, and a few hidden away in case we do win
<DeathStar> <Darien> If we block off our access to the time gate, then we won't be able to destroy the generator on the other side
<Chad`Winters> Ultimately we can argue whatever we want until our faces go blue. If Xanatos and Erevis decide they won't want to do the original plan than we deal with the consequences afterwards.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> 'Consequences'. 6* She shakes her head once.
<Kit> <Megumi> Meaning Ariel and Zephyr can unleash all we have without worrying about missing under normal circumstances. It is the best alternative I can offer given this situation.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Alexander's right, we can't do this half-assed. If we try to avoid killing that planet, we might lose everything. But I don't want to make that choice.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then I suppose I will have to make the choice. 6* Her voice is weary.
* Sammael gently looks down at the table.
<Chad`Winters> And we could lose people on this ship.
<Kit> <Megumi> ..." 6She eyes Erevis. 1"It was my decision to support this action. My decision is that we go through with it."
<Kit> <Megumi> If the rest of you are in indecision, then I suggest we move forward, and you may blame me for it later.
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> She..has not quite reached the... point that I have...and become jaded. She knows it is her choice, Megumi,... and she knows making the choice to go forward...will kill part of her inside. But it is something...she will have to deal...with."
<Kit> <Megumi> That is why I will make it instead. There is no reason for anyone else to shoulder what you all know I can. I made this sort of decision twice in the past as is.
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> It is kind...but CHIP will not...act unless she gives the order.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I don't much like making the decision all yours either, Erevis. My gut tells me to go with the original plan.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes after a moment. " ... continue to finish the preparations. I will decide within the hour." 6* She rises to her feet and moves out
<Kit> 6Megumi looks to Zephyr, calm-faced. 1"I am sorry, Zephyr. I know you do not approve, much like before."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She sighs and gets to her feet, eyeing everyone. "I know when I'm out voted." 6* She moves to step out. "I'll tell Aya." 6* She says softly.
<Kit> <Megumi> This time is worse, I suppose. At least back then I was killing those that killed others. This is simply to prevent further losses at an unforeseen time.
* Chad`Winters eyes Zephyr at that. 1"I'll tell her."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr ignores Chad, already on her way.
* Sammael stands up, looking grim. "We should do as she says and finish..."
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek rubs his chin slowly. 1Ah I hate this bloody nonsense. 6He gets to his feet and moves to step out.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Get some rest everyone, we have a lot of work ahead of us
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis peers at the table; Darien gets up and moves to get food. Alexander taps on his datapad. Eve peers at Chad.
<Kit> <Megumi> I will not be able to sleep-- I will go to Erevis instead.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods to Megumi. 1Call me if you need me.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart looks at Freyja. "Lets get some rest." 6* Seh tells her, knowing when to get the hell of of Dodge.
* Ariel still stares at the display, trying to think of alternatives.
* Sammael rubs her head. "Is there anything we still need to do...?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We should send a ship wide message about the offer to get out of the ship
<Kit> 6Freyja nods quickly to Iceheart and takes her hand, evacuating
<Chad`Winters> I'll finish what preperations we have left. Either plan she picks still requires the devices and modifications to be finished.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Oh right. I'll get right on that. 6He nods to Alex. 1Would you be willing to keep track of all of those that are going?
<Kit> 6Megumi nods to Xanatos, walking quickly to the telepad, with a red necklace.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes. I could get off with them and help organize them
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ...do you plan to stay or only until they get settled?
* Sammael tilts her head a bit and looks between them.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> You all need to head out soon. I doubt they'll have time to get settled in before you need to go. I'm guessing the old and young will want off, so it'll be best for me to oversee them. Unless yo uhave someone else in mind.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> The elder did a good job, I'm sure he could do a good job as well. But it's ultimately your choice.
<DeathStar> <Eve> ... Are you sure yo udon't want to talk to Aya first?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis arrives at her trainnig area, eyes closed, then quickly smashes everything without moving a muscle.
* Chad`Winters glances over at Eve, then rubs his face. 1"I'll stop by to talk to her, Zephyr will have woken her up by now."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I'll speak with him and see.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve nods, getting up. "I'll be in engineering." 6* She pops a caffeine pill.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel. "Want to get food with me?"
<Sammael> "Will try to get at least one of those guns ready before we have to go..." *she moves to the teleporter* "Call me if I am needed."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods. 1Just let me know. 6He rises and steps off to give CHIP the information to announce to the ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis gets up and moves to head back to the bar
* Chad`Winters moves off to the teleporter then hits his and Aya's zone
* Ariel sighs a little, and steps away to join Darien. "...it doesn't feel right."
<DeathStar> <Darien> It never does.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps int othe bar, via teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes Xanatos after everyone begins to clear out
<DeathStar> <Ao> So. Red.
* Chad`Winters moves through the zones and heads to Aya's place.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos finsishes informing CHIP on what he should say, then glances to Ao. 1Red?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya's place looms
<Ariel> "Those people are innocent... and..." *shakes her head* "...it still feels like a trap."
<DeathStar> <Ao> Megumi's necklace was red facing you. Yours is purple when you glance at her. Yet you two don't act like you even like each other
<DeathStar> <Darien> It is a trap in it's own way. We're out numbered. They probably don't believe we'd blow up an entire star system to win, either.
* Chad`Winters moves upto the front door and opens it, if it's not locked.
<DeathStar> 6* It's not.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> It's different. I dunno, I can't say how she feels.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Hm
<Ariel> "It is... drastic."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits down, waiting on that Marcus guy
* Chad`Winters steps inside and makes his way to Aya's room
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slides out, asking for his order.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Honestly, if we didn't use the star, we'd never win against 18 ships. I'd like the soup.
<Kit> 6Dawn pauses, opening the door at the same time Chad goes to enter, then awkwardly makes room for him to go around.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Mine's not completely red, so obviously there is somethign there keeping it from being that way, and I'm not sure if it'll ever change. It is what is it.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya's door is shut and two females can be heard talking
<DeathStar> <Ao> I see. So that why you're dating Sam, then?
* Sammael yawns and punches in a few algorythmns to run before she sets an alarm and goes to her room to collapse on her bed.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao purposely doesn't eye Xan's, if he's wearing it, since he's looking at her
<Ariel> "Do you think they realize that?" *sighs* "I'll... try the soup, I suppose."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Two Star soups coming up. 6He salutes and moves into the back
<DeathStar> <Darien> Tehy know. Three of their ships knocked this ship around less than a month ago.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Dating Sam? No, I'm not.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Oh. 6* She peers up at Sam with a look
<DeathStar> *Er, Chip
* Chad`Winters nods to Dawn as he passes and when he reaches near enough to hear, he stops and waits
<DeathStar> 6* The voices are muffled, but doesn't sound like it'll end anytime soon. CHIP whispers to Chad. "Should I open up audio for you to hear?"
<Sammael> "Run the numbers again... gotta... think about it some more... zz..."
* Ariel frowns, "We're missing something..."
<DeathStar> 6* ERevis finishes destroying her traninig area, letting out a breath
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> The two famfrit girls tries to make it like a date, it was kinda amusing to see her reaction though.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Like?
<DeathStar> <Ao> I thought she was going to start dating Athena myself.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I had a talk with her. That shouldn't be a problem now, but if it is, just let me know.
<Chad`Winters> Only if you play it in my comm. 6He says quietly enough that they wouldn't hear.
<DeathStar> 6* CHIP does so. He can hear Aya sighing heavily. <Aya> There has to be another way. <Zephyr> I wish there was; if there is, they'll find it. I just thought you should hear it from me. I know how you'd feel about it. Same as me.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao nods, then shifts her eyes down to see if Xan is wearing the necklace.
<DeathStar> *er, ring
<Kit> <Megumi> Is it all out now, beloved?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos' hand is conviniently in his pocket.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. But enough that I can breathe a bit easier.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes his hand, then Xan, moving to the teleporter pad. "I'm curious, Xanatos. What would make you happy? A family, right?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Zephyr does not agree with this decision either. I was afraid it would come between us, but like her, you can leave it to me if it is too much to bear.
<Ariel> "Sadly... I don't know. But it feels like... things are only working because everything is wrong."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Probably. 6He shifts to move after her. 1It's something us old folks are into at least.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I know. 6* There's shifting, perhaps the two hugging. <Zephyr> If you need me to take your spot on the bridge, I will. <Aya> ... .... I.... think I can do it. I--- <Zephyr> Think about it. I'm not good at such things, but I'll do it so you don't have to be there."
<DeathStar> <Ao> Hm. Just wondering, really, what you'd do to get a family. Doesn't seem like you to just do nothing. 6* She notes, stepping onto her pad and moving to hit her zone. "And if you do stay n this ship, prospects aren't going to be high." 6* She notes, tapping it
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'll think about it. <Zephyr> Okay. 6* She kisses Aya's forehead. Then the bed shifts as someone gets to their feet
<DeathStar> <Darien> We can only hope for the best, Ariel. We can't let what happened to my timeline happen to yours.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos watches her go, he lets out a sigh. 1No, but sometimes doing nothing is easier. 6He notes though she's not there, stepping onto the pad to hit his zone.
* Ariel shakes her head, "We have significant differences already."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot do that, Kitten. It is something I have to decide on. And I cannot imagine this coming between you and Zephyr. She loves you too much
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes. But this will decide the outcome of everything to follow
* Sammael snoozes, sprawled out on her bed, a stuffed rabbit acting as a pillow.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis takes a seat in a booth, looking thoughtful
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens Aya's door and steps out
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps out and places the soup down for Darien and Ariel. 1Enjoy guys.
* Chad`Winters is standing there, his arms crossed and his eyes closed as he waits
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods to him
* Ariel smiles a little, "Thank you."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at him, then moves to leave.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus smiles and steps into the back again.
* Chad`Winters opens his eyes as she starts to move and he moves past her for Aya's door
<Kit> <Megumi> You do not have to act strong if I will do it for you, beloved...
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is sitting on the bed, looking htoughtful
* Chad`Winters knocks on the doorway.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just smiles, putting her arms around Megumi. "Allowing you to make the decision is just the same as me making it, Kitten. But thank you." 6* She kisses her forehead
<DeathStar> 6* Aya glances at Chad
<DeathStar> <Aya> Hey, Dad.
<Chad`Winters> Hey princess.
<Kit> <Megumi> Do not thank me yet-- there is still the matter of Isis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm.
<Kit> 6Megumi peers aside. 1"Do we inform her about the planet's lifeform?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would seem dishonest not to tell her
<Chad`Winters> Care to talk?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Not right now. I have a bit on my mind. Zephyr told me about the planet.
<Chad`Winters> I figured she would.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya studies him, as if seeing if there's anything to be read into it
<Kit> <Megumi> From a tactical standpoint and a mother's standpoint both it is unwise. It would make her hesitate in the act; it would tear her inside like it does us. I do not wish to; but honesty has always been our forte.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves to his house, grabbing a bottle of alcohol and taking a seat on his couch.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I can tell her if you desire.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a shifting sound near Erevis and Megumi
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek lounges around in the Erevis house, right now in the kitchen eating some leftovers.
<Kit> <Megumi> No. I will tell her. You are shouldering it as is. I said I would uphold my own.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr returns to 1B and steps into the house. She moves for her room
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once.
<Kit> 6Megumi slowly gazes toward the noise.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a bunch of tall grass in the direction.
<Kit> 6Megumi brings her hand up, then distorts the air density, freezing the grass solid.
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien eats his soup
<DeathStar> 6* Athena shrieks and leaps out of the grass, squirming and rolling around as if in pain.
* Chad`Winters moves in and sits down beside her. 1"It's in her nature and when I found out, I knew you wouldn't be happy about it.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'd rather know than not know.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek leans his head out to watch Zephyr go by, frowning slightly, he returns to his food.
<Kit> <Megumi> Athena..
* Ariel eats quietly, mulling.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena stops and peers at Megumi, her ears drooping and she frowns. Apparantly she was spying
<Chad`Winters> I know and I'd never keep anything from you, Aya. I've always been honest about everything with you
<DeathStar> <Aya> I didn't say you hadn't been.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> -Evening-
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' decision to move forward has been made, and the preparations are completed. Alexander messages Xanatos.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos opens up his datapad. 1Yes, Alex, have you made a decision?
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I didn't need to make one; no one decided to leave the ship.
<Kit> <Megumi> What..?!
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Really? 6He arches a brow. 1That's...well that's impressive.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander nods. "I hear the battle begins tomorrow. Good luck to us all." 6* He clicks off.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slowly pockets his datapad. 1Yeah...we're gonna need it.
<DeathStar> -TO BE CONTINUED-
