<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.10.7 - Morning
<DeathStar> Location: The Ship
<DeathStar> 6* With the ship fully repaired, now all the team needs is a clue to where the enemy is at with little Isis. With morning just beginning, Zephyr sits down a plate of strangely shaped pancakes and burnt bacon, with eggs that look a little...not so sunny. Athena eyes the food, and runs away and up the stairs to hide under her bed
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek squints and leans forward, poking it with a fork.
<Kit> <Megumi> Athena's course of action is safest.
<DeathStar> 6* The egg wiggles oddly. Isis looks pale, trying to think of an excuse, while Erevis eyes the food with a tilted head
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Come'on then, can't be that bad. 6He starts to eat it.
<Kit> <Megumi> I warned you.
<Kit> 6Megumi peers to the side. 1"My knowledge of cooking she can borrow-- but my ability is another story."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sulks. She watches Drasek take a bite, leaning forward. Strangely enough, it tastes normal, though the texture doesn't
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek arches a brow slightly. 1Taste normal to me. 6He doesn't mention the texture as he keeps eating, giving Zephyr a smile.
* Sammael is in the Famfrit area, a piece of toast in her mouth as she finishes getting ready for her class, she bites it, catches the piece that falls away and puts it on a plate. She then looks up to see how many students have shown up so far.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles, then looks at Megumi, waiting expectantly.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis excuses herself to check on Athena
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos stands in his kitchen, cooking french toast and humming a tune.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis sits up in the bed, her comm beeping. She peers to the spot next to her, then gets up, wearing only a robe. She answers the comm, talking in a soft voice
* Chad`Winters runs his hand through his hair as he steps out of his bathroom, his tact suit on with clothes over it. He moves over to his fridge and pulls out a container of cutup fruit and he moves for the exit of his house
<Kit> <Megumi> I am sure you are thinking 'it tastes normal, but odd how the bacon has the consistency of an egg, and the egg the bouyancy of bread, with pancakes seeming to fight back like rubber.'
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She sulks again
* Ariel enters the house, bowing her head in appology for being late for breakfast. She looks at the food, "...who cooked today?"
<Kit> <Megumi> It is a true mystery how Zephyr can defy chemical certainties.
<Kit> 6Megumi slowly peers at Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Ariel, putting her hands together. The kitchen is in a complete mess, like a warzone took place.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I think it's a gift, personally.
* Sammael gets up and straightens out her dress a little when enough students have shown and gives Nog a little nod as she starts to write out something on the board to begin her lecture.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron sits down in front of the monitor with a cup, drinking from it slowly as he peers around.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr points at Ariel's spot, her plate full of food.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe you have some bacon in your hair, Zephyr. 6* Zephyr pauses, then tries to peer around at her long hair like a dog eyeing it's tail
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos plates the food and then moves towards his room.
<Kit> <Megumi> Good girl: Chase.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus is face down at the bar, probably sleeping.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... just eat it! 6* She snaps at Megumi. "It took me 4 hours!"
* Ariel has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis clicks off the comm.
* Ariel has joined #taw
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps into his room and offers out a plate. 1Hungry?
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis peers at Xanatos. "My contacts have informed me several ships of Legacy arrived at Earth. One of them may be the ship that took baby Isis."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves over, makes Ariel sit at the table, puts a fork in her hand, and stares, waiting, her eyes saying "if you don't eat it, I'll get mad."
<Kit> 6Megumi sighs, making a face as she tries to rend the bacon
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis begins to eat her food quietly, her expression remaining neutral
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos arches a brow and nods. 1Well, eat and I'll let Erevis know. She'll probably want to leave immediately.
<DeathStar> 6* The older Erevis pauses, then nods, moving to take the plate, peering at it. She goes to take it into the kitchen
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek finishes his plate and downs his juice.
* Ariel nods fearfully, and takes a cautious bite.
* Chad`Winters moves to his teleporter and hits engineering. He moves for his terminal and starts working on it
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves to pull a shirt on and then grabs his datapad, paging Erevis. He also left out syrup for F.E.
<DeathStar> 6* The food is indeed good, despite the fact the texture is beyond bizzare
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, her datapad beeping. She hits the button on it. "Yes?"
* Ariel tilts her head, "It's interesting."
<DeathStar> 6* Noname steps out of his room and sits down to eat. He begins to eat the food, but starts to choke on the pancakes texture.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Interesting good or bad?
* Sammael continues to teach, the goal of the lesson appears to be text and writing in Basic. She occasionally sneaks the remainders of her toast.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Erevis' contact said that several Legacy ships have arrived on earth. It's possible the one with Isis is among them.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then gets to her feet and moves to go. "I understand. Thank you." 6* She steps out the front door.
<Kit> 6Megumi takes this chance to avoid her own by going to help Noname.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek leans forward to peer at Noname. 1Name can't handle it, eh?
<DeathStar> 6* Noname begins to turn blue
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps out and peers towards Erevis. 1Your contact didn't say anything about the number of ships did they?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just sighs, and moves into the kitchen, closing the door behind her, clearly depressed
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek reaches out to give Noname a big slap on the back.
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> There was four ships in orbit, with one ship sending down a number of shuttle craft to the surface.
<DeathStar> 6* Noname coughs up the pancake, which bounces off the wall like a ball
* Ariel sighs, and speaks up loudly, "Is there enough for seconds?"
<DeathStar> 6* Noname hands Ariel his plate.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Alright, I'll go start to get things in order. I hope it's good. 6He notes, pointing to the french toast and then moves to put his coat on.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek hops to his feet and moves into the kitchen, peering around.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is cleaning up her mess
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis peers at it, then takes a bite. "Yes, it is good."
<DeathStar> 6* CHIP leaps into hyperspace, the engines flaring to full power as it's pushed to the limits.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek moves to help her, not saying anything.
* Ariel eats her now double helping, "It's quite good. Just... I don't know how to describe it. Just... different."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods a smiles before glancing up slightly, he hmms and then moves for the teleporter, hitting the bridge.
* Chad`Winters raises a brow at that, his eyes glancing at the readouts. He taps his comm to Xanatos. 1"Why'd are the engines being pushed to their limits?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is on the bridge in her chair. Aya is at her seat as well
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr goes to clean up her flour, but sneezes, sending them up in the air and covering herself.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves over to a console and peers at their power rating, making sure running at max is safe this soon after repairs.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be fine
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and then starts laughing, partially covered himself.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr scowls. "And this time I managed to avoid that while cooking..."
* Sammael sets the students with a task on copying characters and takes a seat.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos answers his comm now. 1We got word of 4 ships on earth. We're going to investigate in hopes of finding little Isis.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Well bit, looks good on you. Ghostware is the new look.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Better decide on a safe distance to drop out of otherwise we'll just alert them to our presence.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We will. 6He says in confirmation.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Drasek, then picks up some more flour and throws it his way
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Just remind Erevis that we only have one spare left.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao steps on the bridge, eyeing Erevis. "You shouldn't be pushing yourself so soon.'
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek squints after the flour settles some, looking ghastly now. 1...you do know this mean war, yeah?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes him, then looks around, grabbing pancake batter as fast as she can
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Will do Chad. You might want to get to engineering if you're not there already.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Where else would I be?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I would say Eve's bed, but we both know that would be a lie.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes her, but Ao pauses, peering toward Xanatos with a tilted head
* Chad`Winters grunts over the comm. 1"Just keep me upto date."
* Ariel gathers up the dirty dishes, and takes them to the kitchen.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tosses the batter - right onto Ariel when she enters
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos smirks and nods, despite being on the comm. 1Of course. 6He closes the comm and then peers to the two red heads. 1Ao is right, by the way. 6He says to Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* She jerks, freezing in shock as she looks at Ariel
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses, almost in mid throw of an egg.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have been resting for five days. That is more than enough
<DeathStar> <Ao> Wait, Chad and Eve are a couple?
<Ariel> "......"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Run! 6He scrambles for the back door.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks and runs after him
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I have no idea. 6He says with a shrug
* Ariel moves to catch Zephyr by the arm
<DeathStar> 6* Athena comes downstairs with Ako, and holds her out to Megumi. "Hungry."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks as she's caught, sliding a bit on the flour and falling on her butt. She looks up
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I know someone who has been sleeping in someone elses' bed. 6* He chimes in on the bridge
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek's head slowly rises up to peer at them through the kitchen window.
* Ariel puts the dishes down on the counter, and hugs Zephyr, "Thanks for making breakfast." Of course, she gets batter on Zephyr by doing this.
<Kit> 6Megumi squints, then takes her from Athena, mumbling and ambling off to a rocking chair she's placed in the corner.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles, then makes a face at the batter. She just hugs back, sharing her flour
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances up slightly, then looks to the two.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena follows. "Athena hungry, too." 6* She notes, almost tearfully
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis ignores CHIP, while Ao eyes him with a bland look. <Ao> If it's about Sam, save it.
* Sammael looks over the class while they work, then looks over her lesson plan, sitting back she taps her chin a little.
<Ariel> "And before you freak out... I said the food was different. Because... it was very different. That didn't mean it wasn't delicious."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah...but Megumi didn't like it...she purposely avoided eating it...
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus's breathes in a rhythmn. Meanwhile Mum slowly starts putting small things in his hair.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy supervises Mum
* Ariel considers, then shakes her head, "I have no idea. I liked it. And Erevis said it was good too."
<Kit> <Megumi> Then eat Zephyr's cooking.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I hope it's not Sam, I thought I had her straitened out.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena sulks more, her ears drooping. She eyes Ako eating happily, then at Megumi
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Nope, Sam's not the one with a redhead in their bed
<Kit> <Megumi> Surely you jest.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena sulks more, eyeing the kitchen table
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and glances to Ao slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, giving Ariel another hug.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes Xanatos. "Don't make a crack my way unless you want pain."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos offers a smile and moves to peer at Aya's work. 1Make sure we don't come out in the middle of them, so sayeth your papa.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'll try.
* Ariel smiles, "However... you should work on your mess." She sticks her tongue out.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis focuses and the ship jerks, the ship moving beyond hyperspace
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes it, then sighs, grabbing a broom.
* Chad`Winters peers around, then eyes the engine outputs
<DeathStar> 6* They seem to working to their max capicity, but nothing overheating yet
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos jerks and arches a brow. 1What the hell?
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek sneaks back in slowly and holds up the dustpan.
* Sammael looks up and frowns, standing a bit. "Hmm..."
* Ariel gets up and gets a wet cloth to help Zephyr
* Chad`Winters taps his comm. 1"Durran, what did I say about 10 minutes ago?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, eyeing about. "You feel that?"
<DeathStar> <Ao> I think we entered that third space that took us in the middle of nowhere.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos ignores the comm as he moves over to eye Erevis. 1...did you do that?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' eyes are closed, clearly focused
<DeathStar> 6* The ship jerks again, dropping back into normal space.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Felt odd. Don't think we're under attack do you?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No, CHIP would have said something.
* Sammael frowns and sits back down, pulling out her datapad and sending Xanatos a query on if everything is safe, giving Nog a look.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes, blinking tiredly. "Did you say something?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos frowns and glances at Ao, then Erevis. 1Alright Erevis, let Ao take over.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue in annoyance as he runs through the data.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek rubs his chin slowly. 1Guess if they need us we'll be the first to know, yeah?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Yes, the ship is yours. I have brought us to the Sol system.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya double checks her readings. "She's right - it should have taken 2 days."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ...I think we should have Caduceus make sure you didn't damage anything.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gets to her feet, and steps from the chair. "I am fine. I am going to get dressed. Please inform everyone there will be a meeting in ten minutes in the conference room."
<Xanatos> 6* Nog helps a student quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* She moves to the teleporter and hits 1B. The engines seem perfectly fine, cooling off normally
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos eyes her with a frown. 1Yeah, alright. 6He says in defeat.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes her leave, then squints. "She's lucky she didn't overshoot the Sol system using that."
* Ariel puts the cloth down, and goes to get changed, "That couldn't have been nothing."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> She's desperate. That's not a good thing.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. We'll make Noname clean up. 6* She moves to the bathroom to get washed off
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos sends out the orders to everyone about the meeting, everyone that's essential to those meetings that is.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I was designed to do such jumps. You should be pleased to experience it.
<Kit> 6Megumi holds her comm to her shoulder and cheek, peering upward as she beeps Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps through the front door, pausing a few feet from Megumi to answer her comm. "Yes?"
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek runs out and jumps into the bond.
<Xanatos> NRP: pond.
* Chad`Winters glances down at his datapad.
* Sammael shrugs at the lack of response and moves to check on a student's progress.
<Kit> <Megumi> Was that you; doing something strange?
<DeathStar> 6* Athena pokes at her eggs, which keep sliding away from her. She frowns, attacking it like she has ADD
<Kit> 6Megumi closes one eye, turning off the comm.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I merely got us to the Sol System. Xanatos Durran and the other me believe Isis might be on Earth
<Kit> <Megumi> I-Is that so..
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos rubs his face with a sigh and then nods to Ao. 1Think you could be that precise?
<DeathStar> <Ao> Probably not. No.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There will be a meeting in eight more minutes. 6* She moves up the stairs to get ready
<Kit> <Megumi> Very well.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Probably with practice. 6He muses.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek trudges through the house all wet, going to his room.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Maybe she just focused on wanting Isis back so bad she just knew when to pull us out
* Sammael moves from student to student, once satisfied she moves into the next part of the day's lesson.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I bet teenage boys everywhere wish they had that ability. 6He says with a dramatic sigh.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis steps off the teleporter, wearing clothing now, her hair in a ponytail. She moves into the conference room; moments later Darien arrives and enters
<DeathStar> <Ao> ... Huh? 6* Aya stares.
<Kit> 6Dawn pauses, standing in the bridge telepad and peering at Xanatos-- blushing.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at Dawn, then at her terminal
<DeathStar> <CHIP> See, Dawn didn't pull out in time, and you've gone and embarrassed him and his girl
<Kit> 6Dawn closes his eyes, crossing his arms in an 'X.'
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos arches a brow. 1Oh I hope papa Chad doesn't hear about this.
* Ariel heads to the conference room. Her hair is still wet from trying to wash out breakfast.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr exits the bathroom naked and runs up the stairs to get dressed
<DeathStar> 6* Chip whistles, accidently sending Chad a video of the convo
<Kit> 6Dawn peers over at Xanatos again, narrowing his eyes, an odd murderous intent purveying the room.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek steps out of his room a moment too late and peers around. 1I think I just missed something great.
* Chad`Winters eyes his datapad again as he stands up. He makes his way towards the teleporter
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Smile Dawn, it's more professional. 6He notes, then moves into the conference room.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis and Zephyr move down the stairs and move out; Erevis is wearnig what appears to be a tactical suit
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander enters the bridge and moves to the conference room
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek puts his hands in his pockets and moves with them, having waited, he sniffs Zephyr once.
* Chad`Winters steps off the teleporter and he glances over at Aya. 1"You got your tact suit on, right?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> No. I've been here working
<DeathStar> 6* Aya's eyes don't leave her terminal
<Kit> 6Dawn's intent dissolves, his face returning to calm indifference as he moves toward the conference room. Megumi lets Ako finish before heading after the other two
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, Drasek, Megumi, and Zephyr arrive on the bridge; Erevis moves for the conference room immediately.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek rubs his chin slowly and moves in after her, taking a seat.
<Chad`Winters> I finished your's last night finally. It's on the piano.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos sits there with his head resting on his hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods. Zephyr moves into the conference room to sit
<DeathStar> 6* Ao sits in the captain's chair, just in case
* Chad`Winters nods to her and moves for the conference room
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis speaks up, peering at Darien and her otherself. "Your contact said they were at Earth?"
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> Yes. There are four ships in orbit, and about 15 shuttles apparantly went to the surface, to land at Mega City. Well, what is left of it after the Legacy attack last year.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Does that put your contact in any danger?
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> They are hidden throughout the city; there is always a danger. <Darien> I just got updated; a few of the shuttles also went to what is left of Tokyo.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena creeps onto the bridge and leans against the wall to listen in
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Mega City and Tokyo were both capitals for Earthgov for us in the past, I wonder if that relates to this at all.
<Kit> <Megumi> I am surprised there would be anything left
<Chad`Winters> Years have passed since we nuked it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> My guess is the Legacy picked Earth specifically to draw us in to familiar ground. Since the last time gate isn't here
<Chad`Winters> Why choose ground that we're familiar with. It doesn't give them much of an advantage
<DeathStar> <Darien> You're wrong.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We'll get to see what it can do.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It will show us the death of everything we cared about on territory that we recognize. 6* She mumbles to hersefl
<Xanatos> <Drasek> They're gonna try to scare us? That's bloody ridiculous.
<Ariel> "Not when they feed on it."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe the emotion they will be aiming for is 'scared'.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> They need to demoralize us. This is a perfect chance.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah.
<Chad`Winters> Take some happy pills before hand then.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> If they can use corpses, I imagine they have quite a few down there to use, too
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis just eyes Chad with a displeased look
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> So not only will we have a fight when it comes to the 4 ships in the sky, but we'll probably have an army of legacy corpses on the ground.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It will be better to sneak onto the planet with a shuttle than fight the 4 ships.
<Chad`Winters> Erevis is right on that.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm sure they'll be expecting that.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. But showing up with CHIP will not change that outcome, and lead to a battle that may reduce our reserves to nothing
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yeah, that's true.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If they're in two cities, we'll need two teams, right? We can't afford to take one at a time.
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms now as he leans against a wall. 1"It's the only way we can do it if we want to succeed.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We also need to make sure enough people are on the ship to defend it if it's found.
<Chad`Winters> Chip can jump if if comes to that.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I agree.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Alright well who decides who goes where?
<DeathStar> <Alexander> It might be best to have one Progenitor remain on the ship at least. 6* He's eyeing Erevis' neck as he says this
<Kit> <Megumi> Considering their usefulness in augmenting CHIP that is no unreasonably request.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Not gonna be me mate, I'm for fightin.
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> ... 6* She peers down, as if debating staying
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, we need to decide what city we'd be best at, maybe.
<Kit> <Megumi> I would prefer it be beloved, but I am not sure she would give me the option.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I can talk to Ao if neither of the Erevis' want to stay, she might not like it, but she will stay if we need her too I think.
<Chad`Winters> What remains of Tokyo and Megacity? 6He looks over at Darien
<DeathStar> <Darien> Empty buildings, some broken apart, others in complete rubble. Survivors live in anarchy there. Legacy left a good portion of the populace alive, but at a number fighting back wouldn't work
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi, frowning. "I desire to save our daughter as well."
<Chad`Winters> Why leave anyone alive?
<DeathStar> <Darien> No idea.
<Chad`Winters> Hostages then most likely.
<Kit> <Megumi> No one would contest that, beloved, but the fact remains it would help little if you reinjured yourself. You are still handicapped, I imagine, though you do not show it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And if you were handicapped, would you remain behind and not attempt to save Isis as well?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien considers. "I'll go to Mega City."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I imagine once everyone volunteers we can assign the rest to wherever else.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We might should consider asking others who do not usually go on mission. Mr. Jones was in the military once.
<Kit> <Megumi> I did often, did I not, beloved?
* Ariel frowns, pondering this over.
<Chad`Winters> I think we should find out how many people are going to volunteer first. Then decide who goes where from there
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... .... Very well. I will stay here. 6* She closes her eyes, clearly not happy
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Alright. I can send out the message asking for volunteers from people that normally stay on ship.
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> I will take Tokyo. I am more familiar with that area.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Well, I'll be staying here, I'm not much of a fighter, clearly.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Think I'll stick with bit unless I'm forced to go elsewhere.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll be with Megumi.
* Ariel glances at Megumi, Zephyr and Drasek.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers between Megumi and Erevis once before sending out the message to everyone asking for volunteers.
<Chad`Winters> I'll head with.
<Kit> <Megumi> I am not familiar with Mega City at all.
<DeathStar> <Darien> If Drasek will be with Zephyr, we should put Ao on the other team, so each has a powerful Progenitor.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Then it sounds like we'll be with the older Erevis
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I agree Darien.
<Kit> 6Dawn rubs his head, frowning slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pokes Marcus awake and shows him the datapad
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Mega City was my home for years. If it was rebuilt any similar to how it was before, I would probably be better there.
<Chad`Winters> 6Durran get's a message from SPoC saying she'll go wherever she's asked to
* Ariel speaks up reluctantly, "It'd be best not to put all our eggs in one basket, I suppose..."
* Sammael responds pretty quickly, saying she would of course help and to do whatever she's asked to. She meanwhile looks over the students in another excersize.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus stirs, not noticing the stuff in his hair he squints. 1They want...us to help?
* Chad`Winters glances to Ariel. 1"You should probably go with them to Tokyo.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron sends a similar reponse as SPoC.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I guess we should, huh.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You think so?
* Ariel looks to Chad, "Are you certain?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well they don't really ask, so they probably need it.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> True, but it'll be more than a little dangerous
<Chad`Winters> That's where your families going to isn't it?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets up. "I'll be in the hanger, talking with Iceheart about her ship." 6* He moves out and to the teleporter pad
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She'd probably like to team up with Darien. 6* She notes in amusement
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Bet she loves to watch him sweat.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah. I know. 6He rubs the side of his face. 1But I'd hate for something to go wrong that I could've help avert.
<Ariel> "...I'd appreciate less speculation."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Right. I know she loves to watch him sweat.
* Chad`Winters unhooks his datapad and sends a message to Aya to see what she plans on doing
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs, peering to the side.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya responds that she'll be staying with the ship
* Chad`Winters lets her know he's going down
<Chad`Winters> I guess I'll head to Megacity then.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya responds to be careful
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, kissing his cheek
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Okay.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'll put Theron and SPoC on the Tokyo team, they were both stationed there and should know the city fairly well.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You going to stay here?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll go where you go
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus smiles and nods. 1Good.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus messages Xan to inform him of their decision.
<Chad`Winters> I'll grab my supplies and head down to the hanger then. 6He moves to leave the conference room
* Sammael starts to wrap up class, expecting an assignment. Letting Nog know she's going to be working security.
<Xanatos> <Xantos> I'll put the Jones', Sam, and Dawn if you're going all on Mega City team.
<Xanatos> 6* Nog nods once.
<Kit> 6Dawn peers toward the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* AS Chad leaves, Dawn as a vision of the future of Chad moving through deserted streets in the dark, and a shot taking his head off; the sniper from some building across the way
<Kit> 6Dawn blinks a few times, then stares after Chad-- looking to Xanatos, making a face. He nods, thumbing at himself.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods once and then sends out the orders to everyone, telling them to meet in the hanger. 6He rises to his feet.
* Sammael dismisses the class cheerfully, then moves out to her place to get ready.
* Chad`Winters moves over to his daughter and hugs her tightly. 1"I'll be safe alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up and moves out of the room. She stops to talk to Ao, who nods and gets up to leave. Erevis sits in her chair; Athena has snuck off in the meantime
<DeathStar> <Aya> You better. 6* She smiles.
* Chad`Winters smiles back at her, kissing her on her forehead. 1"Keep the ship safe for us to return to, alright?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps out of the conference room and moves over to Erevis, reaching out to take her hand. 1We'll bring her back. I promise.
* Ariel stands, and makes her way slowly to the teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets up and moves down the stairs to 1B
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek whistles, movign after Zephyr, tilting his head oddly. 1Can't really check out your arse with all that hair.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods to Xanatos. "I believe in you all." 6* Future Erevis politely moves to the teleporter and hits 1C
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr brings her hand up and sends her hair over her right shoulder
* Sammael outfits herself in a tact suit and a gauntlet over one hand, she tests the grip and smiles before belting on a weapons belt, holstering her gun. She pulls her hair back and adjusts the suit a little. "This'll have to do."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek makes a dramatic swooning motion.
* Chad`Winters gives his daughters shoulder a squeeze and he moves for the teleporter and hits his zone where he moves to get his things ready
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves into the back to get her weapons
<Kit> 6Dawn puts a hand on Aya's shoulder after Chad leaves.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya watches him go, then shifts to watch the scanners for any signs of trouble
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods and moves for the teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks, glancing at Dawn
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves after her, getting his battle outfit on too.
<Kit> 6Dawn leans in, whispering. 1"Going."
<DeathStar> <Aya> You be safe, too.
<Kit> <Dawn> Make. Sure of it.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron moves into the hanger, standing off to the side.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya gives his arm a hug
<DeathStar> 6* Darien talks with Iceheart, handing her a pouch of something
<Kit> 6Dawn leans around to kiss her instead, feeling better.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stands beside Theron.
<Kit> 6Freyja spies on Darien and Iceheart with an unusual expression.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks, but closes her eyes to return the kiss. CHIP plays the violin
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos hits 1C and moves to get his weapons ready.
<Kit> 6Dawn eyes upward, then thumbs up to CHIP, approving instrument choice.
<DeathStar> * Billy leans up behind Freyja. "Is he buying your Captain for the night? Fu fu fu."
<Kit> 6Freyja reaches over and throttles Billy.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron glances to SPoC. 1You are going as well?
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis adjusts her battle suit in Xanatos' room
<DeathStar> 6* Billy flails, making a noise
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Yes. Tokyo.
<Kit> <Freyja> O-Oh, oops! I'm sorry, Andrea.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy goes limp
<Xanatos> <Theron> I as well. It appears we will be working together again.
* Sammael sits down at her desk and looks over the prototype, she sighs and sets it aside, shaking her head. "As I thought... too little too late. Perhaps I'll modify you later." *she looks over a few more things, putting them on her belt before getting up and moving to the teleporter*
<Kit> 6Freyja pulls her to herself and rubs cheeks, then spies on the two some more.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes ICeheart's hand, then moves up onto her ship.
* Chad`Winters steps off the teleporter, both holsters strapped on and his belt on. He moves after for Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis finishes, then moves to pass Xanatos
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I admit, I am looking forward to it.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Be careful. Remember you have the support of everyone else on the team. 6He tells her, checking his pistol.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy fuus
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps out of the back, ready for battle.
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> I will attempt to do so. 6* She nods, hitting the button for the hanger. She moves to one of CHIP's shuttles
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves out after Marcus, spinning her saber in her hand. "Keep an eye on the place, Mum.":
<Kit> 6Megumi goes to find Erevis, Dawn smiling softly at Aya then going to retrieve his customized rifle and its four remaining special ammo, along with his knives and field medic items.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits in the captain's chair on the bridge, hands locked together, eyes closed
<Xanatos> <Mum> Will shoot if annoy. 6She salutes with a gun, Marcus just gives her a look.
* Sammael hits the button for the hangar and steps out into it, looking around for others.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya watches Dawn go with a slight swoon, then pauses, peering around to see if anyone saw her acting all school girl
<Kit> 6The famfrit kid appears on the telepad in the bar, jerking. 1"U-Uh, I didn't do it..!" 6He eyes Katrina.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves onto the teleporter and into the hanger, he redirect people that's going to Tokyo to the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, don't worry. We're going to help the others on Earth
<Xanatos> 6* Theron nods to SPoC. 1And I as well. 6He moves for that shuttle.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves after him
<Kit> <Kid> Hm. I came to get something for Mya.
<DeathStar> 6* Icehearts spots Freyja, waving her over.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well she'll be here later, I think. 6He moves for the teleporter.
<Kit> 6Freyja jumps, then tries to act innocent and unaware.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr enters the hanger, her hair tied into a thick ponytail that makes her hair go to mid-back
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to Iceheart. 1Did Darien talk to you already?
<DeathStar> <Billy> You need work, Spy Momma
<Kit> <Kid> She like cookies, y'think?
* Chad`Winters sends a message to Eve, letting her know what's going on and that he's heading to earth
* Sammael moves over to Xanatos and smiles softly.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Who doesn't like cookie?
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Yes, he paid me to fly him to Mega City
<Kit> 6Freyja hands her head, standing up and moving over to her.
<Kit> <Kid> Can I make some?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanato nods and motions Mega City people onto Iceheart's ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis appears in the hanger in her cat tactical suit, peering around, her tail swishing
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Only if Mum, Mia, or Moa helps you. We have to go now.
* Sammael moves onto the ship.
<Kit> <Kid> 'Kay. Don't get clipped or something.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'll cross my fingers. 6he holds them up, crossed, then hits the hanger, moving for the right ship.
<Kit> 6The kid huffs, eyeing his fingers. 1"I don't much care for y'sexist hiring practices, but for a human y'okay."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina waves, and exits after Marcus
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek isn't that far behind isis and Zephyr, rubbing his nose as he moves for the teleporters.
<Kit> <Megumi> Is it really okay, beloved? Please understand I am not commanding this or anything.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> He called me sexist. How rude. 6He says with a huff, going towards Iceheart's ship.
<Kit> <Freyja> You're really going to fly this?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is okay. 6* She peers at Megumi, opening her eyes. "And I am aware yo uare not commanding anything. After all, I would simply ignore such a command unless you beat me into submission
* Chad`Winters glances at Darien as he gets' on the ship. 1"Sure this is the best choice to use to get to Earth?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien's not around in sight
<Kit> <Megumi> Well, I could if it makes you feel better." 6She holds up a hand, waving it half-heartedly.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Yeah. He said he wanted a ship of my size.
<Kit> <Freyja> Hmm... odd.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Save your energy for the enemy. 6* She takes Megumi's hand and kisses it
<DeathStar> 6* Isis moves over to MArcus. "Um, where would I be best suited?"
<DeathStar> NRP: Xan
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pats Marcus' back as she follows him onto the ship
* Chad`Winters glances down at his datapad as he moves to the bridge of Icehearts ship
<Kit> 6Megumi leans down to kiss her instead. 1"Of course. I will be with family to retrieve family."
<Kit> <Megumi> When we return, we can look forward to your health and our all.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. Be safe, Kitten
<DeathStar> 6* CHIP plays cats meowing in heat for Megumi's kiss
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos tilts his head. 1Well you're family is going to Tokyo. But you would be useful on either team.
<DeathStar> <Isis> Um, which team has the least amount of people?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> This one.
<DeathStar> <Isis> The Toyko one?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> No. Megacity. Sorry.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart shrugs, patting Freyja and moving onto the ship to head for her bridge
<DeathStar> <Isis> Oh, then I will help there.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods. 1It'll be good to work alongside you.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves over, peering at Isis. She mentally lets Megumi know her daughter is going.
<Kit> <Freyja> If I didn't know better I'd think you were changing.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Changing?
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hangs like a doll from Freyja, peering about suspiciously
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus finds a spot in the hanger and plops down.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis smiles, then peers at Zephyr staring, looking sheepish
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Zephyr, is something wrong?
<Kit> <Freyja> It just seems to me that you used to consider avoiding these sorts of 'missions,' even if they were lucrative. You seem more involved than I would expect... It's not bad, don't get me wrong. Though it is... a stone's throw from the ice queen.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Are you sure about this, Isis? <Isis> Y-Yes. 6* Zephyr sighs, looking concerned.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> He paid he a 1000 credits.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Ao and I will be there to keep an eye on her.
<DeathStar> * e
<DeathStar> *me
<Kit> <Megumi> Right." 6She bows to Erevis, then heads to the hangar.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao enters the hanger, moving along the hanger, flexing her fingers.
<Kit> <Freyja> Is that not rather cheap..?
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I haven't made real money in about 5 months
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Plus the chance to get my hands on future technology down on the planet will be lucrative.
* Ariel attempts to comm Darien
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart enters her bridge, glancing around once before sitting down in her seat
<Kit> <Freyja> Hm. Depending on how you perceive, there are things worth more than value itself." 6She smiles faintly. 1"Billy..."
* Sammael sits in Iceheart's ship, arms crossed and waiting.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien's comm seems to be busy
<Kit> <Freyja> Is this your way of saying you wish to come..? You should probably stay, but I will be going.
* Chad`Winters glances back at Iceheart then Freyja and Billy
<DeathStar> <Billy> Fuu. I got nothin' better to do
<Kit> <Freyja> In other words you're curious to your own lucrative plots." 6She huffs, smiling. 1"You two..."
<Kit> 6Freyja heads into the ship to follow Iceheart.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, and hugs Isis. "Listen to Xan. And then do the opposite."
<Kit> 6Megumi moves across the hangar. 1"You are going... Isis?"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I take offense to..well she's probably right.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis nods, pointing at XAnatos. "I will be with Mr. Xanatos in Mega City."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smirks, moving to Future Erevis' shuttle.
<Kit> 6Dawn quietly makes his way to the shuttle for Mega City, his rifle over his shoulder, a cold expression across his face.
* Ariel sighs a little, but tries not to let it get to her. She moves to the shuttle.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek polishes his nail, humming slowly.
<Kit> <Megumi> Keep Xanatos safe from himself, then.
<DeathStar> <Isis> Um...I-I am sure he will be fine
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> No confidence in me at all. 6He slumps and moves up the ramp to Iceheart's ship.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC goes over her rifle as she sits in the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart sits down, peering about for Darien. "Now where is the man of the hour?"
<Chad`Winters> Probably talking to his contacts
<Xanatos> 6* Theron quietly says a prayer.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis moves over to hug Megumi, then moves after Xanatos, the mechanical tail flicking wildly.
<Kit> <Megumi> Isis, wait.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis powers up the shuttle as she listens to CHIP's detailed explanation of his controls
<DeathStar> 6* Isis peers back.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao moves up the ramp to Iceheart's ship, peering at Isis and Megumi
<Kit> <Megumi> I am sure you noticed, but I have been absent nearly all the time since the incident. The ship... our resources.. I have been looking into everything. It is just an experiment, but...
<Kit> 6Megumi tosses her a set of three crystals bound by string.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis fumbles and catches them
<Kit> <Megumi> I am taking the emerald weapon... I may very well need it. I am not sure if I can manage it without Xanatos, but it is my only counteragent for the Legacy if something goes bad... and my best channel for manifest.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao sits beside Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel's comm beeps.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to her and smiles. 1Hi.
<DeathStar> <Ao> I see I'm stuck with you
<Kit> <Megumi> You and Xanatos might find those useful, though. I played with imprinting crystals after studying CHIP's sources. They act like diodes, so I imprinted emotions.
* Ariel answers the comm, "Hello?"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Oh you know you'd rather it be with me than anyone else.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina enters the bridge, and moves over to Iceheart. "Well, well, I'm surprised to see you agree to this." 6* Iceheart sighs
* Sammael looks over at Ao and Xan.
<DeathStar> <Darien on comm> Did you page me?
<DeathStar> <Isis> ... 6* She tilts her head
* Chad`Winters glances back at Katrina entering the bridge now
<Kit> <Megumi> It is up to you how you choose to use them. I am sure you can figure out which is why by holding them, after all, you are descendent of Famfrit-- and Xanatos stole part of that legacy as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis finishes pre-checks and begins to power up the engines
<Kit> <Megumi> One contains memories of love, one of rage, and one of pacifism.
<DeathStar> <Isis> I--- 6* She looks confused
<Sammael> "What is Mega City..." *she tilts her head, blanking for a moment* "...Nevermind."
* Ariel smiles a little, "Yeah... I was hoping to catch you before the mission." She pauses, "I hate to do this over like this, but... good luck. Make it back safe, and I have an IOU for you."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves in after Katrina, peering around. 1I missed being on this ship.
<DeathStar> <Darien on comm> An IOU, hm? 6* He sounds amused
<Kit> <Megumi> I thought perhaps I could trigger the Sapphire by combining one of these things with my intentions like Xanatos and I do to create it, but it does not seem to respond to it. But it could still be useful in balancing your own emotions if Legacy tries something.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart eyes Marcus. "You could always work for me."
<DeathStar> <Isis> Okay. 6* She nods, giving Megumi a smile. "Thank you, Momma."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm flattered but I already have one female boss in my life, not sure I could handle another.
<Kit> <Megumi> Or you could use them to enhance your channeling somehow. Like I said... it is just an experiment.
<Ariel> "Mmmm... Be careful, alright?"
<Kit> <Megumi> I am sure only you and Xanatos could use them to any affect though, perhaps Dawn. Those with affinity to feel the unreal, or read the crystal.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis nods. She blinks as Iceheart begins to close the ramp, and she scrambles up it. "Be safe, Momma."
<Chad`Winters> Any idea how you plan on making it past those four ships? 6He looks at Iceheart now
* Sammael blinks and waves over at Isis.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I have my tricks.
<Kit> <Megumi> You too, dear. Take care." 6She holds up her hand, then moves for the other shuttle.
<Chad`Winters> I hope it doesn't include exiting hyperspace right outside of Earth's orbit.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien enters the bridge now, his comm piece in his ear. "I will be. See you after we get the baby back."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods to Iceheart, who begins to lift the ship up.
<DeathStar> 6* Once Megumi gets on, Future Erevis closes the ramp and revs the engines, flying out of the hanger quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis peers at the ramp doors, looking worried. Ao snorts at Xanatos
<Kit> <Freyja> Quite the interesting crew we have, actually." 6She blinks at those onboard, then smiles nervously. 1"Refreshments, anyone?"
* Sammael rubs her head a little. She looks at Ao and Xanatos again and tilts her head. Then turns to look at Freyja.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pulls his arms behind his head, leaning back slightly, he shifts his head to peer towards Isis and clears his throat, motioning her over.
* Chad`Winters glances down at his datapad one last time then crosses his arms.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> No thanks Freyja. 6He gives her a smile, finding a seat.
* Ariel goes to strap herself in before they have to worry about pesky things like planets.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis jumps, peering back at Xanatos. She moves over. Ao pats to sit beside her. <Ao> Here.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> That's a crude way, Chad. Not my style.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis touches her controls and her shuttle jumps into hyperspace; Iceheart peers at the viewscreen of it vanishing
<DeathStar> 6* Focus will stay on Team Darien for now
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I think she's all for the crude.
<Chad`Winters> I see.
* Sammael smiles gently at Isis then busies herself looking over her equipment.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Everyone on the Tokyo team will be okay. We have to have that confidence that they will so we can focus on our own mission, alright? 6He says to try and comfort.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis' mechanical tail shifts around her waist and she sits.
<DeathStar> <Isis> Y-Yes, you are right
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart flicks open her chair arm panel and flicks a red switch. The lights all over the ship dim to red
<Sammael> "We can do this."
* Chad`Winters glances around.
<DeathStar> 6* The engines die down to absolute silence.
* Sammael blinks a bit and looks around. "Huh..."
<Chad`Winters> ...6He takes a seat, buckling himself in
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles and sits down.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...this is going to take a while isn't it?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This brings back memories.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Just take deep breath and try to relax.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis peers about at the red lights, frowning
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Not one for the scenic route, Jones?
<Sammael> "Well, we have most of engineering here." *she grins*
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart looks at Freyja. "I'd like one of those drinks you make from those berries and fruit you mix together."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm only patient in a few things.
<Kit> 6Freyja salutes comicly. 1"Yosh! Right away, captain." 6She scurries off, leaving Billy.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy peers about, then holds her arms up at Marcus
* Sammael looks towards the bridge.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus smiles and lifts her up. 1Hey Bills, I thought you'd be here.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao drums her fingers on the floor of the ship, peering at Sam now. "So CHIP told me you sat on a naked Athena in the bar."
<DeathStar> 6* Isis' eyes widen
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos leans forward, eyeing Sam at that.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy seems satisfied, shifting to go limp like she typically does when held
<DeathStar> <Billy> Always curious to see how evil works
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Never as well as the true master, I bet.
* Sammael peers back at her as though shocked, or recalling a bad shock, she sighs and looks down, frowning. "...Yes I did."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his comm, pausing. "It seems the other team made it to Tokyo."
<DeathStar> 6* Ao shakes her head, peering ahead.
<Chad`Winters> That's good.
<DeathStar> <Isis> A-Athena was naked in the bar?! 6* She seems shocked and embarrassed
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos tchs and leans back. 1I don't think so. I think it was CHIP.
* Sammael tightens her hands into fists, causing the gauntlet to light up a little. "...It is why I have not visited the Zhenmei house for a few days. And no, Isis, it was merely CHIP toying with me to teach me a lesson. One I will not forget."
<DeathStar> <Ao> Funny, I heard it happened yesterday.
* Sammael tilts her head, sighing a bit. "...Did it?"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Time flies when you're pining for attention.
<Sammael> "I don't..."
<DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes Sam. "Let me direct. Do you see Athena as a friend, or someone for casual sexual relations?"
<DeathStar> *me be
<DeathStar> 6* Isis' face reddens more at this conversation
<Sammael> "...Both."
<Kit> 6Freyja bounds back in, kneeling to present Iceheart grandiously with a glass of a magenta drink over ice with lemon and lime wedges crossed over one another at the rim.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao nods at her directness. "Alright." 6* She glances ahead.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart takes it. "Thanks."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos eyes her and shakes his head. 1Wow.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis winces as her tail tightens involuntarily around her waist.
* Sammael looks at him thoughtfully.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart sips her drink. "You should all try this." 6* She notes to the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina considers, then smiles at Freyja. "I'd love one, too."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> You just lost any respect I had for you.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus perks up, looking curious too.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao peers at Xanatos curiously.
<Sammael> "I'm sorry to hear that. I'm only speaking honestly."
<Kit> 6Freyja grins at Iceheart, then peers at the others, saluting to Katrina. 1"I warn you, it's a little strong."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yep. 6He says shortly and leans his head back to eye the ceiling, propping his leg on his knee.
<Chad`Winters> I'm fine.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It might help loosen me up. I haven't done this in a long time.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'll try some of hers. 6he nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien keeps his face directed at the viewscreen, a hand on his chin; he's shaved clean for today
* Sammael looks down at her hands. "Should I lie and pretend I don't have certain feelings? Is wearing a mask for people's respect or admiration really what's expected of me?"
<DeathStar> 6* Ao peers ahead. "Well, I can't say I'm thrilled either, but honesty is something you rarely give so it's refreshing."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Athena is like my kid, and you're saying you want to fuck her but not in a loving manner, just casually, but you can totally be friends and all that. So yeah you'll excuse me if I wipe my hands clean of you.
* Chad`Winters glances at those drinking, but doesn't say anything as he looks at Darien. 1"We going to run into your contacts?"
<Sammael> "...Who said anything about not in a loving manner?"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> No love in Casual Sam.
<Sammael> "...There's not?"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Nope.
* Sammael tilts her head. "...I think perhaps I'm being misunderstood."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. I plan to meet up with them first thing. Get a feel for things. Some things long distance communication cannot deliver.
<Kit> 6Freyja takes her time, then returns with a matching drink for Katrina-- she'd discern it mixed with probably some alien form of whiskey.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Basically, he is not thrilled you want Athena as a fuck buddy.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis squirms, looking like she wants to go so she can't hear this conversation
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles. "Thank you, Freyja." 6* She takes a swallow, handing it to Marcus
<DeathStar> 6* They pass Jupiter.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus tries it and lets out a whistle. 1Hey, this is great.
<Chad`Winters> That mean we get to meet them too?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It really is.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes.
<Sammael> "Athena is my friend, and someone I have feelings for. I was asked if I see her as a friend, I did not know casual meant without love, I thought it meant care free."
* Sammael thinks about the words. "...In a good way."
<Chad`Winters> Hmmm. 6He glances ahead at the view screen.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos doesn't say anything more, eyeing the ceiling.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao closes her eyes in thought. "Let us speak of it again later. Now is not the time. And Isis is uncomfortable."
* Sammael looks at Isis in sudden dismay, she bows her head in apology. "You're right... another time."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Team F.Erevis Shuttle
<Kit> <Megumi> Are we there yet?
<DeathStar> 6* The older Erevis flies the shuttle away from the giant ship of CHIP. Iceheart's ship is presently beside them.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. I am about to enter us into hyperspace.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I-Isn't that risky?
<Xanatos> <Theron> It is quite risky.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> ...you sure you're good at flying older Revi?
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC checks her clips then glances ahead at them
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> We will find out in a moment.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Well that's just disconcerning.
<Kit> <Megumi> No unnecessary risks, senpai.
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi would feel a faint tingling in her bond close by - the feeling is of someone trying to be sneaky, and it's not Zephyr. This is the faint bond she's developed with someone else.
<Kit> <Megumi> ..." 6She frowns slightly. 1"Athena?"
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC tilts her head slightly at Megumi then peers towards the back
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Megumi. "Yeah, I fee--" 6* There's a slight thump behind the seats and SPoC would notice some white hair
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis finishes entering the coordinates and grabs the controls
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC rises and peers at the white hair
<Kit> <Megumi> I thought so. Sweetie, you realize this means beloved is alone with Ako and Iko...
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek peers towards them, then snorts a laugh. 1Knew it.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena rises above the seats, wearing her tactical suit as well, the cat ears proudly on display. "Want to help."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls the throttle adn leaps them into hyperspace, then three seconds later yanks it again. The shuttle goes zooming through the atmosphere, shaking from exiting hyperspace in it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puts a hand to her face, then jerks as they go tumbling through the atmosphere. Athena merowls and falls forward into SPoC.
<Kit> <Megumi> You are susceptible to our enemy..
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoc rocks back the jerk but catches Athena as she rocks into the seat infront of her
<DeathStar> 6* Athena gives SPoC a smile. "Thank you." 6* She peers at Megumi, her ears drooping. "Athena will be strong. Won't be emotional."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek holds onto his seat tightly. 1OH bloody hell this is not a good feeling.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron peers ahead, towards the surface.
<Kit> <Megumi> We shall see. Too late now.
<Chad`Winters> I believe this is one of the nicer entries I have experienced.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: SPoC
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steadies the shuttle and brings them down toward the ocean, pulling up before hitting it and skimming along it
<DeathStar> 6* Athena moves over to peer at Megumi. "Can do it. Please believe." 6* She raises her hands cutely at Megumi, as if trying to distract her
* Ariel holds on tight, sad to admit this isn't the roughest landing she's been in... not even top 10.
<Kit> <Megumi> Beats some of Xanatos' entries I have experienced.
<Xanatos> <Theron> You are quite talented Miss Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> I have watched Darien Starr fly many times. And CHIP helped me with teh calculations.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steadies herself, peering at Athena worriedly.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek holds a hand to his head, letting out a breath. 1Thena, you'd better stick close to us.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle soon flies over land, still staying low; apparantly she's trying to stay under something.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods, peering at Megumi, waiting for her to respond
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC sits back down now and glances outside the shuttle
<Kit> 6Megumi sticks her tongue out at Athena.
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> We will go to Darien Starr's old mansion to meet up with some people and get supplies, then have them lead us to the enemy in Tokyo
<DeathStar> 6* Athena promptly bites at it
<Kit> 6Megumi jerks, flailing slightly and blinking
* Kit has quit IRC (dream.esper.net roc.esper.net)
* X1 has quit IRC (dream.esper.net roc.esper.net)
* Sammael has quit IRC (dream.esper.net roc.esper.net)
* Ariel has quit IRC (dream.esper.net roc.esper.net)
* Kit has joined #taw
* Ariel has joined #taw
* X1 has joined #taw
* Sammael has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: -o DeathStar
* ChanServ sets mode: +o DeathStar
<DeathStar> 6* Athena holds onto her tongue devilishly
<Xanatos> <Theron> Are you trying to avoid something by flying so low?
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> I do not know the limit of Legacy's sensors, but it is easier to go unnoticed when one is this low.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Yes. I imagine that is true.
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> It is a smart tactic
<Xanatos> <Drasek> That doesn't seem healthy. 6He says to Athena and Megumi.
<Kit> <Megumi> Adeenah dis ith naudy." 6She puffs her cheeks
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek snorts and chuckles. 1She sounds funny though.
Session Close: Wed Oct 07 11:43:48 2009

Session Start: Tue Oct 06 22:44:02 2009
Session Ident: #taw
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Why is that?
<DeathStar> 6* It is night here in Tokyo right now, though it's clear morning is coming fast
<DeathStar> 6* Athena lets go, smiling innocently
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Why doe sshe sound funny?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Cat got her tongue
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> That is what I asked.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> If you can't notice it, it's not worth explaining, luv.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis lands in some wooded areas, powering down the shuttle
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> It will be a few mile journey to the old mansion.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC frowns slightly then gets up once the shuttle lands.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands up, taking a deep breath
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> 6* Athena gets up, balancing perfectly with her tail.
<Kit> 6Megumi hrmphs, puffing her cheeks then yanks Athena over her lap, swatting her rear.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena squeals
<Xanatos> 6* Theron gets to his feet and moves to the back.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek rubs at his ear slightly, then places the other hand on Zephyr's shoulder, squeezing it slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis peers at the two, smiling softly, a bit sad.
* Ariel gets up, glancing at Athena once, before looking to Zephyr. "Perhaps it was good I came here anyways... two people to look after now."
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves along side Theron, her hand flicking her safety off
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at Drasek, giving him a simle and nodding. She then eyes Ariel. "Athena and MEgumi, right? ... Right?"
* Ariel smirks.
<Kit> <Megumi> Oh mama knight does not care about me.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Psssch
<DeathStar> 6* Athena peers up from Megumi's lap, giving Drasek a tearful "Help me" look
<Kit> 6Megumi holds a hand to her heart melodramatically. 1"I am merely a self-proclaimed daughter, I pale in comparison to the real thing." 6She snickers, then goes back to spanking Athena half-heartedly. More like a formality.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC lowers the ramp and nods to Theron as she moves out, her rifle sweeping
<Xanatos> 6* Theron slides his safety off and moves down, sweeping opposite.
* Ariel looks to Zephyr, "...we might need a third to watch out for those two."
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis follows afterwards, peering about to get her bearings.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Don't be silly, Nekonee, you're Momma's pet cat. She'll protect you
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek walks down the ramp, hands in his pockets. He peers around, rubbing his chin.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr winks at Ariel, following after Drasek
<Kit> <Megumi> I am not merely a cat, mou...!
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Iceheart's Ship
<DeathStar> 6* The ship begins to approach Earth; the four Legacy vessels can be seen in orbit, surrounding the planet.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus leans forward, eyeing them. 1Ominous.
<Chad`Winters> We're cloaked in some way. 6He glances at Iceheart
<DeathStar> 6* Their ship flies right toward them, not bothering to be sneaky.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Yes.
* Sammael sits quietly, having shifted to the side somewhat. She looks deep in thought.
<Chad`Winters> You're confident that they don't know this technology considering they overtook your system?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You worry to much Chad.
* X1 has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Some things are off the books.
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure they have pills for that. 6He glances at the viewscreen again
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart angles the ship now to put as much distance she can between ships and heads in for Earth
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina finds herself holding her breath as they fly under one
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus tilts his head, leaning away from the ceiling slightly, like it even matter.
<DeathStar> 6* They begin to enter the atmosphere and descend. The ship moves slowly at this point so not to give any indication an object is entering the atmosphere
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm a little worried about the escaping the planet, myself.
<Chad`Winters> Interesting.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> One step at a time, sweetie
* Sammael sits back and looks up at the ceiling.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well. I'm working on it.
<DeathStar> 6* Clearing the atmosphere, Iceheart pilots them in; several black objects can be seen floating in the atmosphere. Darien leans in to eye them
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What the H is that?
<Chad`Winters> Scouts?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos has his eyes closed, probably just focusing on keeping himself calm.
<DeathStar> 6* They appear to be similiar to the black droids from Star Wars that float around making that noise
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart flies to avoid them
* Sammael looks over at him, still deep in thought.
<Kit> 6Dawn moves to study them through a window.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hmmm.... This might be more interesting than I thought.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Dude, that's creepy.
<Chad`Winters> Define more interesting
<DeathStar> 6* They can see Mega City below; it's twice as big as the old one, but looks decimated in areas.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know what those are. That always makes it more interesting
<Chad`Winters> If you find russian roullette interesting.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It's only interesting until the gun goes off.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart brings them in to land on the outskirts of the city where there's space for her ship between some buildings. Darien considers, eyeing a datapad
<DeathStar> <Darien> We'll wait here a few hours for dark, then move out
<DeathStar> <Darien> We should be safe enough in here until then
<Kit> <Freyja> Are we staying with the ship, Iceheartsan?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Unless those evil creepy drone things rat us out.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> For now, yes.
<Chad`Winters> Any idea on how long a body can be dead before they're no longer able to use it?
* Sammael gets up and moves for the bridge after they've landed.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know
<DeathStar> <Darien> But we'll see soon
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Outside Darien's Old Tokyo Mansion
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis kneels in the dark, eyeing the house from the distance; the pool is all dried up now. Athena peers around quietly
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC peers through her rifle, using it's night scope to check the mansion out
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> We will wait in there for my contacts, then proceed from there. They should be here in an hour or two. 6* She focuses. "I do not sense any minds." 6* SPoC would see no movement
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I do not see any bodies.
<Kit> <Megumi> We should wait here, senpai. Sitting in there is something that might be expected.
* Ariel frowns, "...something doesn't seem right."
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> Darien Starr has a base under the mansion which we need to reach
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> IF you feel safer here, though, I will proceed alone
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Then I believe our best course of action is to go inside
<Kit> <Megumi> Still, if you are expecting them, we should wait to spot them first.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks around, sticking with Megumi.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek rubs his nose now. 1I could walk out there and see if I'm attacked.
<DeathStar> 6* Future Erevis nods. "Then wait here." 6* She proceeds forward
<Kit> <Megumi> Senpai." 6She hisses. 1"I understand you may be accustomed to certain things here-- but that may be an exploitable weakness."
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Theron, please cover me while I escort Erevis." 6She moves after Erevis
<Xanatos> 6* Theron nods and raises his rifles, peering around for enemies.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena whines, like she wants to go, too. She peers at Megumi and Zephyr, then Erevis
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and hops up to move after her.
<Kit> 6Megumi twitches in annoyance and frustration at being ignored, rising to go as well, since it would be idiotic to split up into such a small branch.
<DeathStar> 6* The older Erevis moves along and stops 20 meters from the house. She closes her eyes, then points at a small wire hidden along the ground. She steps over it and moves to the pool, moving down into it. Zephyr jerks and follows after Megumi. <I see old age doesn't change her stubborness>
<DeathStar> 6* Athena bound after MEgumi
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC motions to the wire with her hand as she steps over it.
* Ariel looks around cautiously, and avoids the wire, as she walks.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron moves along last, covering their rear.
<Kit> <Megumi> <I was dead serious. This is not smart.>
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Not arguing.>
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek steps over the wire, standing there to point down at it.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC climbs down into the pool next
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves into the deep end and psionically fiddles with a pump on the wall; the wall moves to reveal a passage and she moves into it
<DeathStar> 6* Athena bounds over the wire like a cat, moving on all fours quickly, suprisingly, and peers into the pool; she hops in
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves to the entrance and waits there, her rifle at the ready
<Kit> 6Megumi leaps down into the pool quietly, still looking irritated, but vigilant.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hops down after Megumi; Athena bounds into the passage
<Xanatos> 6* Theron moves over the wire and moves down into the pool at well. Drasek moves along with Zephyr.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC nods to Theron when he moves past her and she moves in behind him.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves quietly into the passage, which extends for quite some distance in a downward angle; eventually Erevis comes to a door, and she places her hand on a pad; the door scans her and opens
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into a large underground room full of computer monitors, which turn on, revealing the area all around the mansion, and parts of Tokyo; some monitors are offline, though some still fuction
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek and Theron both move along, Drasek lets out a whistle at the room. 1Bloke was paranoid, but guess it worked out in the end.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena moves in and rises to her feet, peering about; there's a fridge in one corner, and on the wall is the Rune Blade, with 5 of the crystals under it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers about.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC steps in last now and she peers around
<DeathStar> 6* The door closes after they're all in. Future Erevis moves to eye the monitors; off to the side are several bedrooms and a bathroom
<Ariel> "Considering what he's been through, it's not surprising." She eyes the sword.
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> I believe he was the kind that preferred to know what was going on.
<DeathStar> 6* The older Erevis sits in the chair in front of the monitors to keep an eye, scanning the ones still with video feed
<Xanatos> <Theron> Hm. It is perhaps why he was one of the few that survived.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, Darien always was doing things. He created that team that worked in a building and fought spies.
<Kit> <Megumi> The Rune Blade is just... sitting here?
<Xanatos> <Drasek> You lookin for something specific older Revi?
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> After Ariel died, Darien Starr put it there. I believe to remember her
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> No. This allows me to keep an eye on anything approaching the mansion, so I can be aware when my contacts approach. Or if the enemy does.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoc tilts her head at it then moves to look at the monitors.
* Ariel walks over to pick up the blade, idly balancing the weight in her hand. "...irony."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Right. We just sit about till that happens, then?
<DeathStar> <Future Erevis> Yes. If you need rest there are beds. They will be here soon, I assure you. We simply must wait for them
<DeathStar> -TO BE CONTINUED-
