<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.10.9 - Last Episode was the 7th. Episode Title: A Legacy's End
<DeathStar> Location: CHIP
<DeathStar> 6* Things are finally coming together, with the ship rapidly approaching the Kilek system, the location of the final time gate. Both Erevises are on the bridge, with Erevis prime sitting in the Captain's chair, and the older one beside her; Meanwhile, Fi has just awoken from his injuries
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos appears on the teleporter, walking forward slightly to peer at the two Erevis. 1Hello Ladies.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is on the bridge as well, leaning against a wall, his throat still bandaged with healing patches. Both of them glance back, nodding once.
* Chad`Winters works in engineering, no longer wearing bandages, but his hair and beard shaved off.
<DeathStar> <Ao> So, the Kiltek system, that's where Megumi lived like a cat, right, and engaged in village orgies.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus sends Chad a memo about Fi
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC sits in Security, eyeing the monitors
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Wait, really? 6He peers over at Ao, arching a brow.
* Chad`Winters glances down at his datapad and he stands up, letting whoever's working in engineering that he'll be gone for a bit. He moves for the telepad
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek sits on the couch, strumming guitar slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shoots Ao a glare.
* Sammael sits in the workshop in her zone, busying herself with a new part of her armor project.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron trains some Famfrit in security, going over hand to hand techniques.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Why do you think she expresses her feelings in such a manner? 6* She shrugs, as if finally accepting it
* Chad`Winters hits medbay and he steps off, moving for Fi's room.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos hmms but doesn't answer, peering ahead. 1How much longer till we get there?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A few more minutes. I am having CHIP drop outside the system near some asteroids so that we might hide and send out a probe to examine their defenses
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> After we determine such, the first thing we will need to do is have CHIP move through the gate.
* Chad`Winters steps into Fi's room and he glances over at his vitals, then down at him. 1"How are you feeling?"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Good idea. But what if there are enemies on the other side?
* Sammael peers over her design, slowly taking a cookie from a nearby plate and chomping down on it while she looks it over.
<DeathStar> 6* Fi opens his eyes. "In pain."
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> There will no doubt be such enemies; however, if we attempt to send a probe through the gate to see, then we will have eliminated all chance of surprise CHIP may have of getting through with relatively minimal damage.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That means we'll need to leave some of us on this ship to fight, while another group takes out the time machine.
<Chad`Winters> Could be worse. 6He grabs a stool and sits down. 1"You want Cad to administer anything for it?"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Will there be enough time for them to come back through the gate?
<DeathStar> <Fi> No. Did everyone make it back okay?
<DeathStar> 6* The older Erevis and Darien exchange glances.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods once. 1That answers that.
<Chad`Winters> We managed not to lose anyone.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> After we find the time machine, someone will need to remain behind to deal with the time machine once the others get back through
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos rubs his face, clearly thinking about that.
<DeathStar> <Fi> Good.
<Chad`Winters> I'm sorry about your mother, Fi.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus mixes a drink for himself, whistling.
<DeathStar> 6* Fi just nods, glancing to the side. "She died protecting someone. It's just the kind of person she was."
<DeathStar> 6* CHIP drops out and Erevis touches a button, launching a probe. CHIP drew a smiley face on it
<Chad`Winters> After we close this last time gate, I'd like to hear about her.
* Sammael stretches a bit and gets up, moving into the kitchen, she looks over what she has and sighs a bit, grabbing her datapad she heads to the teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6* Fi studies him, then nods
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well, I guess all we can do it wait.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses after a second, peering at his hand slowly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We should...gather everyone...for a conference...while we wait for the data...to be transmitted..to see who will be best...where
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek's hand is evil, like Lindsey's
* Sammael taps the button for the bar and steps out, heading towards it.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Sure thing. I'll send out the message. 6He steps off to the side to send out the messages for all essential personnel to come to the conference room.
<DeathStar> 6* AYa studies her terminal, eyeing the probe's data
<Chad`Winters> I'm not sure, but I think Isis may have given you a sponge bath. 6He taps his chin, musing.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek opens and closes it once. 1Bit off, just gonna have to get used to it. 6He mumbles aloud.
<DeathStar> 6* Fi's eyes widen
<Kit> <Megumi> Are we really going to leave someone behind?
<Kit> 6Megumi rubs her eyes, seeming asleep on her feet. One eye glances to Ao, but then ahead at space.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She glances up at Megumi
* Chad`Winters smirks. 1"No, but I should've asked her to tho."
* Sammael peers over the bar quietly, a hand going to her datapad.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We can't...depend on setting explosives...on a timer....the enemy could disable it
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> You look cross eyed right now. 6He points out, looking amused at it.
<Kit> <Megumi> I cannot agree with sacrificing a life for strategy.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We'll make Sam do it. 6He jokes.
<DeathStar> <Fi> ... I see you're still an ass even at this young age.
<Kit> <Megumi> I still would not agree.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> It is...a no win situation
<Chad`Winters> You think I grew into it?
<Kit> <Megumi> I do not believe in those.
<DeathStar> <Fi> Apparantly not.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well do you have any other ideas?
<Kit> <Megumi> ...I have not been awake very long." 6She stares at Zephyr with both eyes open now. 1"...Worry little, Zephy, it is just the side effect of the berserk schizophrenia, it is not injuries or anything."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Maybe I should have had Athena lick you awake then.
<Kit> <Megumi> Her tongue is rough. Hrmph.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> As is yours.
<Kit> <Megumi> Are we talking about the same thing..?
<Chad`Winters> I know you don't have anywhere to stay, unless you actually enjoy being in here. 6He glances around at the medbay room. 1"So I thought I'd offer my spare room."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves into the conference room, then followed by F. Erevis. Erevis tilts her head. "Are we not discussin tongues?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos rubs his neck slowly and move sinto the conference room too.
<Kit> <Megumi> We do not have any data currently other than it being on Kilek. I would have to strategize fully on speculation." 6She moves to follow.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao sneaks out as if to get away from the conversation
* Sammael takes a seat quietly, looking around at the bar, she frowns a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises and steps after them. Zephyr follows with Megumi, still sending healing energy.
<DeathStar> <Fi> I... ... thank you
<Kit> <Megumi> Your tongue is roughest, Aonee.
<DeathStar> <Ao> ... What?!
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps out of the back, drinking some girlie drink. He pauses and peers at Sam and slowly hides the drink.
* Sammael eyes it a moment but makes no comment, she smiles to Marcus. "Hello there."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hey Sam.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek hops to his feet and moves for the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander, Iceheart with her pet, and Eve show up and enter the conference room
<DeathStar> 6* AThena eyes Drasek, adn sneaks after him
<Sammael> "Came for a cup of coffee."
<Kit> <Megumi> How you use it. Your tongue is roughest.
<Chad`Winters> It's not much but...6He glances at his datapad then over at Fi. 1"You stubborn like me or do you listen to your doctors?"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> You can be my bodyguard. 6He says, knowing she's following.
<Kit> 6Freyja finds a place for her and Iceheart to sit together, being quiet since she's not much in t he know.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena stands up straight and walks ahead of Drasek all body guard like
<Kit> 6Dawn arrives, peering at his two datapads, each displaying something scrolling quickly enough to require switching views constantly.
<DeathStar> <Fi> Only when the doctor was mom and she'd spank me.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos leans back slightly in his chair, peering up to the ceiling.
<Chad`Winters> Then come on. 6He holds a hand out to help him up
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek looks amused at Athena as they step onto the bridge.
* Ariel enters the conference room, a little late by her standards, and moves to take a seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes Megumi. "Then allow me to use it in the manner I like best. So, on Kiltek, I hear..."
<Kit> <Megumi> Althought it is softer nowdays, I suppose. You used to have such language.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao's mouth closes and she goes hmphhhmphph
<Kit> <Megumi> Huh? What about Kilek..?" 6She tilts her head.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Hmphh!
<DeathStar> 6* Athena bounds in ahead of Drasek and sits on Megumi's lap
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek steps in and takes a seat, resting his leg on his knee.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods to Drasek with a smile
* Sammael gives him a smile and then looks down at the bar.
<DeathStar> 6* Fi takes it and stands up slowly, wincing
<Kit> <Megumi> It is very Earth-like, actually, but there is less terra firma. Temperatures are higher rather contradictorily so it can be quite humid. Tropic and jungle-like areas are most common. A few should remember from Noname's...
* Chad`Winters shifts an arm around Fi to help him walk and he moves with him to the teleporter and hits the bridge. He then helps him into the conference room
<Xanatos> <Drasek> So this is where you ran off too. 6He says to Zephyr, giving her a smirk.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya glances back to see Fi, blinking in surprise at him awake. Fi glances over, staring a bit as he enters the conference room
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes Athena, patting her head. 1"You know you are a little big for this..." 6She hugs her.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki steps in wearing one of his finer busines suits. He whisles a bit as he plops down, putting his feet up.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nuzzles into the hug. "Athena small!"
<Kit> 6Dawn shifts his eyes from his datapads to blink at Fi, gaping slightly, then coughs.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You want food or something?
* Chad`Winters grabs a chair for Fi and helps him sit.
<Kit> <Freyja> Loki Rolls in his Grave." 6She giggles slightly, then blinks, peering around and aheming, quiet.
<DeathStar> 6* A monitor lowers as Aya transmit data into the conference room from the bridge. The probe can be seen moving toward Kilek, where 4 battle ships orbit, clearly on alert; one is parked near the huge time gate in space.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki slowly looks over at Freyja. 1"Huh?"
<Sammael> "Y-Yes, coffee and... I suppose something plain and baked would compliment."
<Kit> <Freyja> N-Nothing..! Nan demo nai!"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods and mvoes to get Sam her goods.
<DeathStar> <Eve> She's plotting your death, Loki, to take over your business
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki peers at Iceheart. 1"You didn't slip her some drugs again did you?"
<DeathStar> *Iceheart
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I did slip her large amounts of alcohol
<Kit> 6The famfrit boy sliiides up beside Sammael. 1"A batch of cookies, please."
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Oh she is? 6He glances at Freyja again. 1"I wouldn't recommend it."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos sits up now and peers towards the monitor. 1It's probably safe to assume there is at least that many on the other side, do you think?
<DeathStar> 6* She glances at the images. Darien eyes the battleships
<Kit> <Freyja> Wh-What..!? I-I'm not in assassination anymore..! I-- I--.."
* Sammael looks down at the famfrit and smiles. "Well hello."
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> It's good to see that even a priestess can be corrupted.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien swallows, the patch on his throat tightening a bit. "Possible."
<Kit> <Freyja> ..." 6She squirms, sighing and peering off to the side.
<Chad`Winters> I'm suprised there's only 4 here.
<Kit> <Kid> ..." 6He sticks his tongue out at Sammael and pulls down an eyelid, then smiles to Marcus.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek rubs the side of his face. 1Maybe we took out more of the blokes that we thought?
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> I do not see a space station. The time machine must be on the planet. CHIP...? 6* the probe begins to head down
* Sammael pouts a little.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We were told the majority of their fleet was at the last gate.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sets down the coffee and nods to the kid. 1It'll be a bit. 6He then moves fully into the back.
<Kit> <Kid> Sure. Thanks!
<Chad`Winters> If that's the case, then there has to be some more hidden.
<Ariel> "Could we be mistaken?"
<Chad`Winters> Or the rest are on the other side.
* Sammael takes the coffee and sips. "You're the one that helped fight the Legacy, aren't you?"
<Kit> <Megumi> They would not know which side we would come from. There is no reason to assume they are hidden on a 'side.' Somewhere nearby like a moon or satellite object is more likely.
<DeathStar> <Ao> They knew we were at Earth
<Chad`Winters> Ao's right.
<Kit> <Kid> I am the one who had you fall for a simple noose twice, paper airplanes, chalk, a bucket, numerous things, and Legacy, yes.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Something tells me that they might just try to overpower us.
<Chad`Winters> They probably know how long it'd take us to get here since we wouldn't waste time. Which means if there's other ships around, they're on their way here.
* Sammael goes a bit red. "Yes... you are very clever."
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes, so not approaching from the Earth-side of Kilek is logical to assume, right? My theory stands.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Four of them back at Earth. They'll be here soon then
<Kit> <Kid> Or maybe y'just dumb.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> They have one major advantage over us. 6* She says simply.
<Sammael> "Mmm." *she sips her coffee gently* "Maybe."
<Kit> <Megumi> Only one?
<Chad`Winters> That they can destroy the time gate themselves.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Numbers?
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander presses his fingers together.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> No chance in hell that the blokes would blow the gate.
<Kit> <Kid> Maybe. Haa." 6He chuckles. 1"Tell me, did you look before sitting?"
<Chad`Winters> If they have ships over there, why not? It's a sure victory.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> They know we will not risk many lives to take out the time gate, so we will attempt to get the majority through the gate. That means they will simply need to stomp out whoever goes for the time machine.
<Sammael> "Why yes, I looked over the bar entirely, actually." *she did too*
<Kit> <Megumi> They cannot create another one any time soon. We disrupted their latest attempt which took vast energy.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> So we need the heavy hitters to get to that machine then. I'll go.
<Kit> <Kid> See? Dumb. So vulnerable you checked over an entire establishment and probably got weird looks from everyone.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> You or Ao will be needed here, unfortunately; CHIP will be outnumbered with those ships, and if they have some on the other side, and if any follow you through, CHIP will lose without Progenitors.
<Sammael> "I'm used to weird looks." *she seems unphased* "It comes with being weird."
<Kit> <Megumi> Not necessarily, Drasek. It means we need the most skilled to head for the machine. People that are adaptive to almost any kind of trap that could be laid.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They are also capable of boarding through our shields, we will need fighters on CHIP
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I'm adaptable. 6he scoffs stubbornly.
<Chad`Winters> So you plan on sending a team down to secure the time gate then teleport them back before it explodes so we can get through the gate?
<Kit> <Famfrit> You are human, the most ordinary, boring race in the galaxy.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Not exactly, Chad.
* Chad`Winters eyes Xanatos. 1"Someone has to stay behind."
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> There is only one option that will ensure the majority survives. CHIP will rush through the time gate while a team goes to the planet. After securing the time machine, we will only need one member to stay behind to destroy it while the others escape back through the gate
<Kit> <Megumi> I am saying you would be more useful on the ship, Drasek. You and Ao can help power things here if it goes downhill-- as well are greate fighters.
<Sammael> "Genetically altered, but yes, essentially human. Happy to be it too." *she sets the mug in between her hands*
<Kit> <Famfrit> You are weird because you were genetically changed? That is an everyday occurance for talented Famfrit.
<Xanatos> 6Drasek nods to Megumi at that, accepting that answer, though he shakes his head. 1Don't quite like the idea of losing someone for this.
* Sammael tilts her head. "No, I am weird because I am weird."
<Kit> <Megumi> I do not, either. Surely there is another way.
<DeathStar> <Fi> ... it'll be one of us from this time line. Right?
<Chad`Winters> Not one that holds a 100% chance.
<Kit> 6Megumi jerks. 1"Beloved, would the time machine feature a mainframe?"
<DeathStar> 6* He peers at Darien and F. Erevis
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers between the three future people quietly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know. Alexander, you are the one we left the time machine with - the original from our timeline. What do you recall about it?
<DeathStar> *Alexander Cran
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander leans back. "Well, I didn't get much time to study it before getting stranded on here, but the machine doesn't need a mainframe, though you can hook it up to one. It works independently and runs on hyperspace energy like this ship
<Kit> <Megumi> If it has an interface... that is, not just an old-style, manual operated machine, the landing team could infect it with the HALO routines and we could detonate by remote controlling the system itself.
* Sammael peers down at the child. "Being part Omega is merely a circumstance, I was simply correcting the label."
<Kit> <Megumi> Just like CHIP.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Once we pass the gate, we will not be able ... to send a signal...back.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I think if there's any remote link, once going through the gate you'll lose that link, and it's a good chance that this future will be wiped out almost instantly once it's destroyed.
<Chad`Winters> A very high chance.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> Xanatos is correct.
<Kit> <Megumi> The team has to be on this side to begin with. You would detonate it before passing through. Obviously.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> and that whole team would be gone.
<DeathStar> <Darien> The team would be...destroyed when the gate...collapsed.
<Kit> <Megumi> Have you not ever dealt with lag?
<Kit> 6Megumi stares.
<Chad`Winters> An unstable timegate is too dangerous.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Do you really want to bet an entire team's life on an assumption that some sort of lag will happen?
<Chad`Winters> You'd risk not making it back or sending them somewhere completely int he wrong timeline.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Megumi...we have destroyed many time gates. The timing will not...work..
<Kit> <Megumi> Not at all. You encrypt the signal. In the time it takes for the other machine to decrypt it, you have plenty of room.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> And what if while we are leaving, the enemy retakes the time machine and disables your efforts?
<Kit> <Megumi> Sacrificing a life is not the answer!!
<Kit> <Megumi> Look what that leads to in the first place!
<DeathStar> <F. ERevis> Risking all lives is also not the answer.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena winces at the yelling, her ears drooping
<Kit> <Megumi> This is the thinking Warren used!
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I don't like this anymore than you do, but we really don't have any other choice, Megumi. Everything else is too much of a risk.
<Chad`Winters> You could cause the planet to explode.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and points to Chad. 1Think we got the juice for somethin like that?
<DeathStar> <Alexander> And if they moved the time machine off the planet, what would yo udo then?
<Kit> 6Megumi makes a twitch at that. 1"...I do not like that idea either, but the fact remains that what we are doing ceases this time to exist so my morality on Kilek is null."
<Kit> <Megumi> We do. Zephyr and I did it before.
<Chad`Winters> Can it be moved that quickly? 6He glances at Alexander
<DeathStar> <Alexander> It's small enough to be moved, yes. They probably only left the time machine on the planet so far in the hopes of luring us down there to kill us
<Chad`Winters> Makes sense.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> They have left it there so Kitten will be forced to see what they have done to the people there
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Course they would. Bloody gits.
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes, I know. There is another option.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> And that is?
<Chad`Winters> There's too many variables with setting the planet on a self destruct course. 6He bites his nail as he things.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances down. She has promised never to sacrifice her life again after that one incident with Ariel and Legion long ago, so she refuses to agree to her future counterpart
<Kit> <Megumi> Kilek's atmosphere contains more hydrogen than even Earth did. A grazing shot from Zephyr could ignite the atmosphere.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr points. "Guys." 6* A fifth battleship has arrived at the planet.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Again, and if they move the time machine?
<Kit> 6Megumi shakes her head. 1"I do not care what they try and use to get it off planet. They cannot fly through it."
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue at that. 1"The time for debate is over I think."
<Kit> <Megumi> It would take time to reach critical and hit the terra firma, but the atmosphere's surface would be engulfed momentarily.
<DeathStar> 6* The probe flies over a huge base down on the planet below
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We need to assign a team to go planetside.
<DeathStar> <Eve> We don't even know if the time machine is on the planet. We'd need to be down there just to be sure
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> I will be going down there. As will Darien Starr.
<Chad`Winters> It could be on one of their ships already.
<DeathStar> <Eve> Yes. We'll know once CHIP Runs through and if one remains behind
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes Erevis sternly when she mentions she's going.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lifts her head up. "Do you still desire I remain behind once more, Kitten?"
<Kit> NRP: Future!
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm going, I'll have Theron and SPoC go as well.
<DeathStar> NRP: I know, past one is asking
<DeathStar> <Alexander> And leave no security on the ship, Durran?
<Kit> <Megumi> If you have had time to sufficiently recover... I will not make you, but I would feel as safe as you would.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then I will stay with the ship if you do as well
<Kit> 6Dawn raises a hand to Alexander's comment
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'd like...Aya to go with us. 6* He says
<DeathStar> 6* Fi eyes Darien
<Chad`Winters> Because she's immune.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> There is Dawn, but I could leave Theron as well. SPoC is going because she's immune.
<Kit> 6Dawn glares now, crossing his arms.
<Chad`Winters> Then I want to request going myself
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> No chance, we need you in engineering Chad.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Didn't you get barbequed two days ago, Chip?
<Chad`Winters> Didn't you get brain damage two days ago, Ao?
* Sammael looks back at her cup of coffee quietly now.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Moot point, since it seems I'm playing battery here.
<Ariel> "Sounds like everyone is jumping to go on this one."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos rubs his chin slowly, thinking.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena go!
<Kit> <Megumi> ...I will stay aboard CHIP.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue, not able to counter Ao on that. 1"Eve knows how to run it as do Isis and some of the Famfrits.
<DeathStar> <Eve> I can handle engineering for Chad.
<DeathStar> <Fi> Isis will probably want to go as well, if her sister goes
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well the people on the ship need to be a larger number than the away team. 6He muses.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I think Thena should stay about with her mommas.
<Kit> <Megumi> Not that it is considerably safer, but Zephyr and I are definitely a useful resource to protecting CHIP in many ways.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena strong. Athena did good on Earth. 6* She sulks
<Sammael> "I suppose I am sort of boring." *she sips her coffee*
<Kit> <Kid> Yup.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Well I can't argue with you on that, luv.
<Sammael> "Why do you prank me so often?"
<Kit> <Megumi> The point is we need 'strong' on CHIP, sweetie.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> So we have Erevis, Darien, Chad and myself. Who else?
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis gives her daughter a smile. "You did very good, sweetie, but you will need to protect little Ako and Iko, do you not think?"
<DeathStar> 6* Athena jerks.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Aya.
<Kit> <Dawn> ..." 6He raises his hand to go.
* Chad`Winters nods to Darien
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Aya and of course that means Dawn. So I'll leave SPoC and Theron to handle security.
<Kit> 6Dawn huffs.
<Ariel> "I am willing to go. But I will leave the decision to our stratagists."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I thought you said SPoC should go since she's immune
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Do you really think it's a good idea to leave only one person for Security?
<Kit> <Megumi> Mama Knight, you should stay. You are the other resource like Zephyr to beloved.
<Kit> 6Megumi sighs, not wanting to phrase it like that, but...
<DeathStar> <Alexander> It sounds like you'll have Athena
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *sniff* So I'm just a resource?
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> I'm sure I could muster together some Cartel security...if you arm them properly.
<Kit> <Megumi> A mouthy one.
<DeathStar> 6* A sixth battleship arrives on the screen
* Ariel pets Zephyr on the shoulder, "We are just there to be used."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I mean to oversee the Famfrit security troops. 6He points out.
* Sammael looks over the kid again.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"There's six now
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It might be good to have one of us down there just because we can communicate mentally.
<Kit> <Kid> I haven't in some time. No 'dea what y'talkin' about.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't know if t'll go through the time gate, but I know conventional communication wo't
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus brings out the food for both the kid and Sam, setting it down.
<Kit> <Megumi> It will not. I could not communicate with mama knight when she changed timelines.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Sam proved she could handel the field medic job. So I'm sure she won't mind going.
<Chad`Winters> I'll let Aya know to get ready. 6He looks down at Fi. 1"Protect Isis, alright?"
<Sammael> "I suppose you are correct." *she looks up and smiles to Marcus*
<DeathStar> 6* Fi nods. "You don't have to ask."
<Kit> <Megumi> In fact it seperated the bond forcefully. Part of why I would prefer she stay with beloved.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. I wouldn't want to lose my bond with you
* Chad`Winters nods back, giving his shoulder a squeeze. He moves out into the bridge. 1"Aya, you have your tact suit on?"
<Kit> <Megumi> I am flattered, though your reasons have twisted. Hrmph.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ariel's control of the rune blade might make....her useful down there, actually.
<Kit> <Megumi> Ariel is useful period.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... what? ... I don't want to lose my bond with you.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> If you need me ship for this mission, I volunteer it.
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes Zephyr. 1"You treat yourself like my walking nurse. I would prefer you became just a little more selfish once in a while."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances to the side. "...maybe I don't want to lose my bond with you because I am selfish..."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Thanks for volunteering, we appreciate it.
<Kit> <Megumi> True." 6She peers at Darien. 1"You are able to use it as well as I recall, Starr. Beloved should too, correct?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> .... I'd prefer not giving Erevis the Rune Blade.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers back. "Yes."
<Kit> <Megumi> That still leaves you.
<Chad`Winters> Long story short. They want you to go down to Kilek because Darien believes you're immune.
<DeathStar> <Darien> With my wound, my capabilities aren't top notch. I'd...make a poor choice...to wield it.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks, but nods slowly. "Okay."
<Ariel> "Obviously, we simply need two of me."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I can use it if I have too.
<DeathStar> <Ao> You know how to sword fight?
<Kit> <Megumi> Durren has also improved greatly with blade weapons.
* Sammael eats her food, finishing her coffee as she does.
<Kit> NRP: Durran* >_>
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Xanatos, her eyes locked on him. She looks greatly troubled.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I can do anything. 6He says with a wink.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and peers at Erevis. 1You okay?
* Chad`Winters rests his hands on her shoulder, squeezing them. 1"You'll be fine honey. You are my daughter after all."
<Kit> <Megumi> I will not take credit for teaching him. He knew how rather well before we even started sessions.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I desire you to make me a promise. Promise that you will come back to this ship no matter what.
<Kit> 6Megumi peers at Erevis, then eyes Xanatos. 1"Yeah, with your track record I want to hear that, too."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and arches a brow. 1You think I'm going to try to sacrifice myself again, don't you?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena peers at Xanatos, her ears drooping
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I have too much to lose now. So I'll be back. 6He notes, glancing to Athena slightly.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena made roast for Da-Da. Have to come back and eat it.
<Kit> <Megumi> It is too bad we do not have one of the many Angela clones to use for this." 6She looks irritated.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Sadly, we had a trigger happy Alpha take out the last one. Not that I blame her
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Well folks, we're up to six ships, so you lot should get going.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We could have Sammael sex up someone and take their powers. 6* He notes dully
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods
<DeathStar> <Aya> I will.
<Kit> <Megumi> For what?
<DeathStar> <Alexander> She's pretty much like an Angela clone.
<Kit> 6Dawn rummages in his vest and pulls out two shells of the special ammo, sighing.
<Kit> <Megumi> Unless she can clone herself, it does not matter.
* Chad`Winters smiles at her. 1"I'm going to head to my place to get ready. I'll meet you in the hanger, alright?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos doesn't disagree with it, crossing his arms now.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Okay.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena looks down. "Sammy not like Angela. ... Angela scary...."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Angela didn't start off 'scary' either.
* Sammael finishes her meal and bows her head to Marcus. "Thank you."
<Kit> <Megumi> I am through with sacrifices. Even if it is the reason I would lose often to Warren in chess... perhaps even real life. I am sick of it.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well, we need to away team to get ready while the ship teams figures out a plan.
* Chad`Winters moves off to the teleporter and hits his zone and moves off to change into his gear
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus thumbs up, drinking his girlie drink.
<Ariel> "Someone needs to invent a robot to press the button after everyone escapes. These situations come up too often..." *frowns*
<Kit> <Megumi> I demand that if you find a way to do it without losing anyone-- that you take it. Screw the odds.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis rises and bows, moving to exit the room. Darien turns to follow
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Cheryl did make that sex bot.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gets to his feet and moves over to give Athena a hug, before patting Erevis' shoulder and messing with Megumi's hair. 1I'll see you all soon. 6He gives Ao a wink as he steps out.
<Kit> <Megumi> It is not here." 6she off-balances from Xanatos, narrowing her eyes. 1"You had better."
<DeathStar> 6* Ao watches him go. Athena hugs onto Xanatos, dragging along
* Sammael gets up, stretching. "Perhaps I will have to try one of those later, it looks good." *she notes*
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and pries her off. 1Help everyone protect this ship for me, okay?
<DeathStar> <Athena> ... Kay.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gives her a smile and steps off, letting Sam know to get ready and get to the hanger.
<Kit> <Kid> Is that the fox-woman's brew?
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart stands up. "I'll go get my ship ready. See you on the far side, Loki."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart moves to go
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Nah, I made this.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> It's your time to bring me back something good.
* Sammael looks at her datapad, bows politely and heads to the teleporter, tapping the button for her room and then moving about to grab her things.
* Ariel looks between those starting off, and those staying.
<Kit> 6Freyja sticks her tongue out at Loki. 1"You can't have me." 6Then she runs after Iceheart.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek rubs his hands together. 1Most of the folks staying with the ship is usually the away team, how's that for a switch up, eh?
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> I said good!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers down, looking troubled. She peers at Aya movnig by the door to go to the hanger
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and steps back in, holding out a hand to Ariel. 1Rune blade pleeeease.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... I should be there with Aya...
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Could still go luv. Just might lost the bond for a bit
<Kit> 6Megumi puts a hand on Zephyr. Dawn walks by, eyeing Xanatos, then Zephyr. He messes her hair.
<Xanatos> NRP: lose*
* Ariel bites her lip, and nods. Handing Xanatos the sword, "Bring it back in one piece, alright?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> An Alpha can only reform a bond twice with the same person.
<Kit> <Megumi> We broke it off, once.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> ...oh. 6He gives her a frown.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos smiles. 1No problemo. 6He hefts it over his shoulder and steps out.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches Xanatos go, then peers at Zephyr sympathically
<Kit> 6Dawn jogs to catch up with Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya types on her datapad, then glances at Dawn, giving a smile. Fi moves off to find Isis back in 1B.
* Ariel pauses a moment, then hurries to catch up with the departing team before they leave.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos informs SPoC that she has security, with Theron being her second in command and then moves for the teleporter, hitting the hanger.
<Kit> 6Dawn idly peers at Fi, wondering if he can receive thoughts like Fiore and Katrina can, sending him best wishes and luck.
<Kit> 6Megumi stares at Ariel running off now.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches Ariel go
<DeathStar> 6* Darien enters the hanger with F. Erevis, both of them talking quietly.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC responds with a confirmation
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sits on the ramp of Iceheart's ship as Iceheart moves for it.
* Chad`Winters stands in the hanger already. He glances at the two showing up. 1"We ready finally?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> I think so. 6* She peers at Darien and the older Erevis talking
<Kit> 6Freyja blinks at Billy as they arrive. 1"Reachan?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos comes walking behind them with the sword.
* Sammael grabs her medical supplies, a second datapad that she shoves into it and then pulls on a tact suit, then her belt with gun and the gauntlet, before tying her hair back. She eyes herself in the mirror a moment, staring blankly. She frowns and shrugs, before moving to the teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena slides over to Megumi and Zephyr. "Could go watch AYa if Mommas want." 6* She offers
<Kit> <Megumi> Nice try, sweetie.
* Chad`Winters nods. 1"Just remember what I taught you about your new suit.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I've gone blank. Could you tell me again, Daddy?
* Ariel moves at a quickened pace towards Darien and F.Erevis, when she enters the hangar
<DeathStar> 6* Billy peers at Freyja, in her sixteen year old form. "Hello, Freyja Momma."
<Kit> <Kid> ...Where's she running off to?
* Sammael appears in the hangar and moves to join the others.
<Kit> <Freyja> Reachan, what's with the... body?" 6She stares.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> No idea.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis peers back, then nods to Darien, moving on to the ship. Darien turns to glance at Ariel. "Coming after all?"
<Kit> 6Dawn glances over, tilting his head at Ariel and Sammael appearing. He shivers.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Oh, you want to see more? 6* She begins to pull down her black battlesuit
<DeathStar> 6* Athena sticks out her tongue at MEgumi
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I hope not she gave me her sword. 6He notes as he passes by the two, moving up the ramp.
<Kit> 6Freyja jerks, flailing suddenly. 1"H-Hey! Don't do that, Reakun!"
* Ariel shakes her head, "No... I didn't change my mind on this. They'll need help out here."
* Chad`Winters rolls his eyes at that as he walks with her onto Icehearts ship. 1"It has a space between the layers for you to form your crystals in either sheets or as fibers. Just focus on protecting the vital organs for now unless you can do the entire suit without straining yourself.
* Sammael looks at Dawn and waves a little before moving up the ramp.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods.
<Kit> 6Dawn hangs his head, sighing.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods. Billy looks at Freyja, then peers at Dawn. "Would you like to see?"
<Kit> 6Dawn blinks at Billy, tilting his head blankly.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy begins to unzip the battlesuit for him
<Kit> <Freyja> Andrea! Stop it!
<Chad`Winters> It still has the nanotechnology from the suits Alexander gave us so it'll be able to repair itself a bit.
* Ariel steps forward and kisses Darien on the cheek, "Come back, alright? Athena will be heartbroken if you're not back for the celebration feast."
<Kit> 6Dawn continues to stare blankly, then moves to get onboard.
* Chad`Winters unhooks his datapad and sends a message to Eve to be safe.
<DeathStar> <Darien> .... 6* He just pats Ariel's shoulder, giving her a sad smile. "Be safe, Ariel, get everyone home safely."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy fuus sadly
<DeathStar> 6* Eve responds with the same to him
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hops on aboard while Iceheart gets onto her bridge and powers up the ship
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek sits down at his console on the bridge and plops his legs up, whistling.
<Kit> <Freyja> ...I think you just asked the wrong one, Billy." 6She walks with her.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves through ice's ship, going for the bridge.
<Ariel> "...Darien."
* Sammael sits down and looks forward, before sending Athena a message and sitting back, looking up.
<Kit> <Megumi> So, where shall we start, beloved?
<DeathStar> 6* Athena looks around as something beeps on her. She spins around in circles, forgetting she had a datapad on her back
<DeathStar> <Billy> No one likes asian girls. Sigh
<Kit> 6Dawn tries not to get in the way of Aya and Chad.
<Kit> <Freyja> Wh-What..? That's not true.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves up onto the ramp as it begins to close, peering back. He gives Ariel his famous lopsided smile, then moves on into the ship
<DeathStar> <Billy> Not even other asian girls. 6* She eyes Freyja
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods to Megumi, moving over to hug her and kiss her
<Ariel> "...I'll keep them safe Darien. And... I'll be waiting." *tries to smile*
<Kit> <Freyja> I-- I like you. Iceheart likes me." 6She pouts.
<Kit> <Freyja> Megumi's half-chinese. All her children are a quarter and beloved. Um..
<Kit> <Freyja> Katrina slept with Chiikun! Cheryl married her.
<Sammael> * The message contains a simple "Good Luck, Be Safe", as well as the picture of Chad's face covered in cake attached.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Katrina would sleep with anyone. Even you if you had gotten to her before Marcus. Fu fu fu
* Chad`Winters hooks his datapad back up, not showing much expression from it. He rests a hand on his daughters shoulder again, squeezing it gently.
<Kit> <Freyja> ...I was around with Chiikun.
<DeathStar> <Billy> But did you ask for her to do you?
<DeathStar> <Billy> 'cause I hear Chii did
<Kit> <Freyja> Of course not!
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP/SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* After Iceheart's ship has moved off from CHIP, cloaked, Erevis sits on the bridge in her chair. Zephyr is nearby, arms crossed, and Ao is in Aya's chair for now. Athena peers over Megumi's chair
<Kit> <Megumi> Yeeees, Aonee?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We will need a plan to get through the gate - and what to do once on the other side.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek continues to whistle at his console, arms crossed. He pauses and holds up a hand. 1We could RLH.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Since we don't know where in space we'll come out, if we have to retreat, how will we find the others?
<DeathStar> <Ao> Maybe we should have sent Ariel, so we'd know once they got back...
<Kit> <Megumi> It might be best not to retreat on the other side. The ships should not be able to keep conventional shields up when passing through... we could await them and unleash as they come through.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> But if there's ships on the other side we'll be fighting on two fronts.
<DeathStar> <Ao> And if they already have ships on the other side waiting to do the same?
<Kit> <Megumi> It would be hard to retreat in the first place...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. We'll definitely take damage once we get across
<Kit> <Megumi> Much less hope a shuttle or such can make it through any barricade as well to get to us..
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Either way we look at it, we're going to get hit hard.
<Kit> 6Megumi sighs a bit.
<DeathStar> <Ao> ... so you're saying we should stay and fight to protect the others once they come through?
<Kit> <Megumi> If reasonable, Aonee..
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We would quickly lose, however, we could attempt to draw the ships to chase us through conventional space and not leap out of the system.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Wonder if we'd be near anywhere that could send us assistance?
<DeathStar> <Ao> Well, if we're lucky, we'll end up at past Kiltek, but so far time gates don't send us to the exact spot for some reason
<Kit> <Megumi> That is as likely as Legacy having already acquired them to assist them...
<Xanatos> <Drasek> ...don't much like the thought of that. How about we just stick with the running through convential space, could act like any hits we take damaged us or some nonsense.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Like Revi said.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We will likely not be faking such damage.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Yeah you got a point there, luv.
<DeathStar> 6* She takes a deep breath, then taps a button, speaking to the entire ship. "All civilians, please remain in teh designated protected areas or in your quarters. All hands capable of battle, prepare yourselves."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Either way it goes, we gotta figure out some way to funnel em enough to take em down one at a time. Guess we might have to figure that out on the fly though.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This will be our last battle if all goes well. I ask you hold on a little longer - we cannot risk leaving our comrades behind, so we will be doing our best to stall the enemy.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and glances up, while Theron gets his rifle ready, taking a team to the garden.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds her energy blade, sitting at the bar
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Guess we'll be defending this place again. 6He moves into the back to get his shotgun.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis speaks on the comm. "Should I hook up to CHIP like I did last time, Mommas?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mum will be glad
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC leads a small team to keep Engineering safe and sends some others to the bar
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns. Isis is already weak.
<Xanatos> 6* As if on cue Mum appears on the teleporter, holding her pistol.
<Xanatos> 6* Mya and Moa appear afterwards, but they don't look as excited.
<DeathStar> 6* Mia doesn't bounce.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin enters the bar after her, holding a big ass gun
<Kit> 6The kid appears after Paladin, jerking as he eyes Paladin's BAG
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Can't anyone else use that halo thing?
<Chad`Winters> 6Some Cartel members meet up with Theron while a few appear in the bar with guns
<DeathStar> 6* Athena's ears droop. "Athena not as talented like Isis. Athena make things."
<Kit> <Megumi> Technically Athena, but Isis is more familiar with CHIP and engineering.
<Xanatos> 6* Mum smiles to Paladin. While Marcus steps out of the back with his shotgun. 1Looks like we'll have more protection this time around.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin gives Mum a smile back, moving over to give her tips on how to more effectively shoot her targets.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not wish to strain her anymore, but she would be useful
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Comes a time when you gotta make the call, risk your kid or risk the ship. Personally I say the ship, no offense CHIP.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I feel unloved.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I'll polish your floors later, mate.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Isis, for now, simply stand by with Noname and watch the children. If it becomes critical for your aid, we will call upon you
<Xanatos> 6* Mum listens to Paladin careful, while Moa holds her beam saber carefully and Mya sits near Marcus and Kat.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Let us go. CHIP, best possible speed, reach the time gate.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> It's gonna get hairy really quick, so I'd best get prepared. 6He sits up to look over shield controls.
<DeathStar> 6* CHIP begins to zoom forward. Erevis peers at the viewscreen as the ship begins to rapdily fly toward Kilek and the time gate. Suddenly, two ships drop out of hyperspace on either side, firing at the ship.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC directs her group to take us key defnsive places
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks slightly. 1Bloody hell it's like they were waitin for us.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron glances up slightly and then begins to get everyone set up defensively, peering around carefully.
<DeathStar> 6* CHIP continues to shake as the two enemies come in behind them, firing way.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Don't guess any of you folks would want to fire back, eh? 6He makes sure to keep the shields up as best he can.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes from her station. "Not at the gun station!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes, focusing her energy into the chair. She begins to fire back shots.
<Kit> <Megumi> Zephyr, you should do it. You are best at ranged and depth perception.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I really suck when it comes to firing guns that aren't my own.
<DeathStar> 6* She sounds sheepish
* Ariel steps onto the bridge, holding onto the wall to keep her balance at the shakes, "This is a bit early."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Seemed to handle my gun just fine. 6He says with a loud laugh.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I-- 6* She goes deep red.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena tilts her head. "Uncle Drasek have gun?"
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes Zephyr.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Aye luv. Since my hyperspace in limited, y'know?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He didn't mean it like that, sheesh.
<DeathStar> 6* She looks away.
* Ariel eyes Drasek and Zephyr as she steps forward for a better view on the screen.
<Kit> 6Megumi shakes her head, smirking, then loses the humor as she moves over to the firing terminal to help Erevis fire back.
<Kit> <Megumi> This is so not my area.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Just wanted to embarass bit a little. 6He beams, proud that he got her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr closes her eyes, focusing her gunning abilities and trajectory abilities to Megumi
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks, having not expected it to come natural, then realizes what Zephyr is doing.
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead, at the time gate, the other six battleships wait, aiming at the ship and firing from ahead. Erevis quickly reshifts to fire at them
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek places his hand on the terminal, taking a breath and knowing that this is going to drain him pretty good.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> CHIP. Please fire 'that'. 6* She begins to focus all her hyperspace energy suddenly into the chair, her hands sizzling. The tower shakes as something begins to happen
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What's going on?
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Uh...Revi. Want to keep us in the loop?
<Kit> <Megumi> 'Progenitor Bustaaaah?'
<DeathStar> 6* A giant cannon is formed outside in the shape of Zephyr's bustah gun
<Kit> <Megumi> Damn, I was right? Beloved, what about you!?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... I feel like my trade mark is gone.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> It's alright bit, nothing can bust like you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just keeps focusing her energy, strands of hair shifting to white. Athena looks worried. Hyperspace shoots out of the cannon and strikes one of the ships, blowing it up. Erevis gasps, opening her eyes, looking completely drained
<Kit> <Megumi> Wait, is this what the reserve dark energy was used for?
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Can I shoot that thing next?! 6He looks excited.
<Kit> <Megumi> I spent all week working on those and they are practically worthless despite being ages ahead of considered modern technology! Grr!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It...takes....more than I calculated...
<Kit> 6Megumi darts her eyes between her monitor and Erevis, frowning for other reasons.
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes her ruined hands, then ahead. Ao eyes Drasek. <Ao> Sure you got enough to spare?
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining ships continue to fire as they approach, shaking the ship
<DeathStar> 6* One begins to move in their path to block them physically.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I'm not 100% cause of this arm, but taking out one of those ships would help us out a lot. Like that git trying to block us.
<Kit> 6Megumi converges all fire on it, hrmphing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... CHIP, transfer Hyperspace Bustah control to Drasek
<DeathStar> 6* A device in the shape of a hand appears at Drasek's terminal
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She even stole the name!
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy ship takes heavy damage, it's shields dropping; the other ships, however, continue to fire at them, taking this chance to inflict what they can
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Alright. Here we go. 6He places his hand on the device and begins to put energy into it. 1Think you can take out the bloke in front of us Meg?
<Kit> <Megumi> I have always been curious to the name, anyway. As a 'dragoon buster' does that not mean you bust dragoons with it?
<Ariel> "Consider it a tribute, Zephyr."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hmph.
<Kit> <Megumi> This one in front of us is toast.
<DeathStar> 6* The one begins to explode, however, the debris is still in the way.
<Kit> <Megumi> Would be better named 'dragoon guardian' would it not..?
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek aims for one of the other firing ships and attempts to get a lock as he continue to put the energy needed.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You have no sense of style. Cheryl said it was best to strike fear into the hearts of my enemies.
<Kit> <Megumi> Absolute Death, then.
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek would feel it drain a good 40% of his energy. The hyperspace cannon fires, annihilating the ship
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek lets out a breath. 1Bloody hell that's an umph, might want to save it for once we get through. Oh, any of you lot want to take us over that debris?
<Kit> 6Megumi starts targetting strategically to clear up the debris.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis focuses on flying. "Adjust shielding in sectors 2, 9, and 12."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Those are will be where the debris swill collide.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Erevis is talking funny now
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek nods and adjusts the shields.
<DeathStar> 6* What bits Megumi doesn't annihilate, crash into the ship, bouncing off with relatively no damage. They begin to approach the time gate, with the remaining 5 ships chasing
<DeathStar> <Athena> Entering time gate. 6* She chimes in to feel useful
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I'll work to get shields up as soon as possible.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Hey I just had a brilliant idea, if we swing around once through the gate and fired that big beam back through, think we could take down more than just one of their ships?
<DeathStar> 6* The ship enters through the time gate. A moment later, they emerge in front of 4 other Legacy ships, which begin to fire into CHIP. The ship shakes and areas begin to pop up on a monitor flashing red. One blast flies right nito the command tower, and consoles begin to explode. Ao is thrown back and Erevis' chair sparks, causing electricity to shoot through her. Athena bounds through the flames to the hull,
<DeathStar> 6* where she touches it, adding crystal reinforcement
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grabs Ao and drags her back. "I'd do it now if you're going to do it, Drasek."
<DeathStar> 6* She pulls Erevis from teh chair, getting zapped herself, then grabs the flgiht controls, turning them as best she can
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks up as the ship shakes repeatedly.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks, trying to hold onto his console. 1Working on it luv! 6He presses his hand onto the device, putting energy into it. His other hand trying to bring up shields.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh that's not a good sound is it?
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC peers around then shifts the safety off
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grits her teeth as her hand sizzles from the electricity flowing, peering at the flames to try to see Athena. The enemy ships ebgin to pound the back of CHIP
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Are shaking sounds ever good? 6He eyes Marcus as he appears.
<DeathStar> 6* The teleport sparks behind Loki, and shuts down
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus cocks the shotgun. 1Everyone stay away from the back, we don't want a repeat incident. 6He notes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> LINED UP. 6* She practically screams. Drasek would lose another 40% energy, the cannon charged
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek fires, letting out a gasp of pain.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki eyes the teleporter shut down. 1"Now that was convenient. For me atleast. 6He shifts towards the bar counter
<DeathStar> 6* The blast flies into the time gate, vanishing from sight. Erevis lays on the floor, smoking, and Ao lifts herself up, moving to the shields to aid her own energy to power them up. The ship stops shaking once they come back on, but only at 56%
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr begins to aim them away, blindly flying in any direction she can think of, then lets go of the controls, holding her hand in pain, her entire body twitching. The enemy ships begin to chase, firing at the back.
<DeathStar> <Ao> We will...need most shields at...our butt
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek slumps against the console, taking deep breaths. 1Alright...Alright. 6He pushes himself up slightly and works to put most shielding to their behind.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao aids him. Together they put the shielding at maximum behind. Ao frowns. "I lost navigation. I have no idea where we are in space."
<Kit> 6Megumi slowly shifts and begins to sit back up, twitching. 1"...Yes. Would hate to take more damage to the 'butt.'"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Doesn't matter, just gotta buy time, figure out where we are once we survive this nonsense.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena bounds back through the flames, looking a bit burnt, her clothes ruined. She flops down like a tired cat, her hair a bit sizzled at the ends, clearly ruined
<Kit> 6Megumi rubs her left eye, but peers at her own monitor to see if it still has anything.
<DeathStar> 6* Through the garden dome, Theron would see black probes approaching
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi's console seems operational; unfortunately they've lost the viewscreen and can only rely on terminal readings
<Xanatos> 6* Theron peers up and clicks his comm. 1Boarding parties incoming, everyone perpare for a fight.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...I have datastream, but lost the actual visual." 6She uses the data to form a picture in her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel would notice something; her bond wiht Erevis is gone. Cut off. As in Erevis is dead.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC relays the information to her men and she aims towards the entrance she's covering
<DeathStar> 6* Athena slips toward Erevis and lays her head on her chest, then wails. "Momma not breathing."
<Xanatos> 6* Theron clicks off his safety and kneels, peering around carefully.
<Kit> 6Megumi jerks, looking over. 1"What!?" 6She leaves the terminal, quickly heading to Athena and Erevis.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> The electricty stopped her heart, better get it back up and beating. 6He calls out.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr looks over, twitching in pain. "I-I'm sorry for not noticing."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena looks panicked, shaking Erevis
<DeathStar> <Athena> Momma. Momma!
<Xanatos> <Drasek> CPR Thena. Get the heart beating.
<Kit> 6Megumi kneels and puts an ear to her chest, then nods to Drasek. She stops Athena, steadying Erevis, then breaths into her mouth, holding her nose, then starts giving her chest compression.
<Ariel> "We need to get her to medical."
<Kit> <Megumi> Athena, generate a jolt. Molecular symmetrical vibration.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena stares at Megumi in a panic, watching.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena then nods, touching her
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances to Ao. 1Keep shields up, i'll try to fire the best I can. 6He drags himself over to the weapon console, eyeing it for a second. 1Where's the bloody picture?
<Kit> <Megumi> Read me the numbers, Drasek.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao sits down to deal with shields
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and begins to do so.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the teleporter offline
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Great.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... we're stuck here.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, touching her head as the numbers are read, then begins to tell Drasek where to fire, her voice shakey
<Kit> <Megumi> That is numerous smaller objects. Bording crafts. The large ones are...
<Kit> <Megumi> ..Thanks, Zephyr.
<Kit> <Megumi> Stronger Athena.
<Kit> 6Megumi breathes more air into Erevis, starting over.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena focuses, crackling with a jolt of hyperspace as she works on charging her abilities. After a moment, Erevis jerks with a cough, then suddenly begins to respond with a kiss
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek begins to fire as instructed.
<Ariel> "We need-..."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel can sense the bond returning, but something's glitchy, as if Erevis' body is still in critical
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Boarding parties near garden. Engineering. Hanger West Side.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> ... and the Command Tower.
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks several times, leaning up. 1"B-Beloved, now is hardly appropriate.."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes, her eyes dilated and looking dazed. She tries to speak
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Apparently we're safer.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Iko and Ako. 6* She moves for the stairs to 1B.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron glances up and instructs his men to be ready.
<DeathStar> 6* She tries to form her guns, but they fail. She stops, eyes widening. "Why can't I...?"
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek makes a face at not knowing where to shoot and just tries to do the best he can, trying to go with a pattern from what Zephyr was telling him.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Bit? You okay?
* Ariel moves over to check on Erevis herself, trying not to crowd. "Is she...?" She frowns, feeling something wrong.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... I'll bite them if I have ot. 6* She rushes down the stairs
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Shit. Athena, watch beloved.. She is trying to say something." 6She moves to Zephyr. 1"Help Drasek, I will go."
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr stops, glacning back. "You sure?"
<DeathStar> 6* Athena peers at Erevis worriedly.
<Kit> <Megumi> He does not know what to do unless one of us reads the data.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Her mind not making sense. Confused.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, then moves back to Drasek to help him
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances over his shoudler. 1Think the shock affected her brain?
<Kit> 6Megumi heads for the stairs to go get the children.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena looks at Ariel teary eyed. "Help Momma?"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Ariel use that bloody bond to try and get her back to her senses. 6He calls out, keeping up firing with Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Noname and Isis are i nthe house, barricaded, with the babies, waiting
<Kit> <Megumi> Any sign yet?!" 6She calls in approach
<DeathStar> 6* Isis shakes her head. "Fi is in 1C keeping an eye out."
<DeathStar> 6* Theron and his team would see enemies rushing through the garden toward them - Legacy monsters
* Ariel kneels and closes her eyes, trying to ground Erevis through the bond, despite... whatever it is. "...I'll... do what I can."
<DeathStar> 6* There's noises banging against the doors leading to the bar. Katrina turns to face a door.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Here they come. Fire bring them down and then finish them off. 6He calls out, aiming and firing towards their legs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki quickly leaps over the bar counter. 1"Who's there?"
<Kit> 6The kid holds his hands out, forming two crystal chakram.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus hops to his feet and aims towards the door.
<DeathStar> 6* The banging at the bar stops. A gruff voice goes "Famfrits."
<Kit> 6The kid's ears twitch. 1"...Prove it!"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and chuckles. 1That's too funny.
<Chad`Winters> 6The Cartel men aim their rifles in the bar and the ones in the Garden open fire at the Legacy coming
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6* Another pause, then the door busts open and LEgacy monsters rush in
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps forward and fires a shotgun blast for them.
<Chad`Winters> 6The Bar Cartel open fire at them as they rush in.
<Kit> 6The kid throws both hands forward, winging both chakrams right into the front line.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Iceheart's Ship
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart brings them in for the planet, still cloaked, but rushing as fast as she can this time. A giant hyperspace beam comes through the time gate and hits 3 ships, blowing up 2 and damaging another one so it crashes into a fourth and knocks the fourth into the timegate, getting it cut in half
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and F. Erevis stand there, watching on the bridge. Aya quietly is sitting on the bridge as well
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and arches a brow. 1Was that us?
<Chad`Winters> Looks like we lucked out there.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Let's just hope there's no ships on the other side.
* Sammael tilts her head. "...Or we had a very interesting strategy."
<Kit> <Freyja> Maybe it's just karma?
<Chad`Winters> Hope all you want.
<Sammael> "Mmm..."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm good at hoping. I hope I never go bald, it looks weird. 6He says, eyeing Chad.
<Chad`Winters> Your face? I didn't want to say anything.
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining three ships don't follow through the time gate, as if wary now. Instead they hold position at the gate.
* Sammael looks between these two gunslingers.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos leans forward and squints. 1We'll have trouble getting past them if they stay.
<Chad`Winters> They won't risk going through. Not unless they're chasing us through.
<Sammael> "We... will have to hope they move?"
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart begins to move the ship through the atmosphere, where black probes are at - suddenly they begin to fire at the ship. Iceheart stares. "How...?" * Her ship shakes.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Crap. Apparently they won't be fooled a second time.
* Chad`Winters grabs onto railing. 1"They learn fast apparently."
<DeathStar> 6* DArien moves over to the pilot controls. "LEave it to me." 6* He takes over, then sends the ship into a spiral.
* Sammael steadies herself, grabbing onto something to do so. She frowns.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya holds onto her seat, while F. Erevis psionically steadies herself.
* Chad`Winters grabs the railing tightly now.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos stumbles and reaches out to hold onto something as tight as he can.
<Kit> 6Dawn uses the seats as braces and moves up to Iceheart, showing her one of his datapads displaying thermal levels. Spiked from their entry.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien proceeds to do a complicated 30 long opposite game that his player would be too lazy to attempt, moving them around and past shots
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Right. At the speed, they'd have detected it.
<Sammael> "Well that explains that..."
<Kit> 6He nods, then strains to sit down and buckle thanks to Darien's fancy flying.
* Sammael works her own restrains on.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien twists as they approach a giant base below, firing blasts up at them that explodes nearby. The ship shakes, shields dropping
<Chad`Winters> We need this ship in one piece Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* All along the base are dead bodies, probably meant for Megumi to see
<Kit> <Freyja> Indeed!
<Sammael> "A-Always a fun ride."
<Kit> 6Freyja freezes, looking horrified.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face. 1Maybe I should've stayed on CHIP.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> >..
* Sammael stares at them, going a bit white.
<DeathStar> 6* What bodies aren't decomposed are naked and spread out as if on display
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Hm. Good thing Megumi didn't come.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien spins through the air, the explosions shaking the ship again and again despite his best attempts
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> I believe that is why your Erevis asked her to remain behind
<Kit> <Freyja> I suspect she... knew..." 6She grinds her teeth, her hair, especially tail looking frayed.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy peers at it sullenly. "This isn't evil . This is sick." 6* She sounds disgusted
<Chad`Winters> That's the idea behind it.
<Kit> <Freyja> They have no respect for the dignity of the dead!!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien cuts off all engine power and has the ship drop like dead weight. Iceheart peers from Freyja to him. "What the hell are you doing?"
* Sammael looks away, looking a bit ill.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos frowns and eyes Darien. 1I hope it's not crash landing.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Erevis. 6* She simply nods, closing her eyes. The shots stop coming in as they drop.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue and grabs onto a chair and sits down. He quickly straps himself in
* Sammael holds onto her seat, strapped in already.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers around, confused.
<DeathStar> <Computer> Impact in 5.... 4.... 3....
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> ... 6 *She closes her eyes. The ship suddenly jerks to a stop, Erevis' face contorted with straining. Darien flicks the engines on, firing into the side of the base's hanger doors and flying in
<DeathStar> 6 F. Erevis leans against a chair, panting
<Sammael> "Anything you can walk away from..."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos stumbles and almost falls, letting out a breath. 1You okay, Erevis?
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> I believe...that took most of my energy. 6* She says apologetically
<Kit> <Freyja> When I find who is responsi-URK!" 6She hacks, squeeling, then gasps when they move again.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien brings them into land. Legacy monsters begin to rush into the hanger, clearly looking for the ship by firing randomly
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Chad`Winters releases his restraints as he gets up now, he glances his daughter over to see if she's alright
<DeathStar> <Darien> If they were tracing our heat signature, I shut everything off to look like we were hit out of the sky.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stands up, dusting herself off and checking her datapad.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos arches a brow. 1If just one of those shots hits us though, our ruse is over.
<Kit> 6Freyja shakes her head, then eyes them, grinding her teeth again. She brings out her hands, wiggling her fingers, then smiles a bit... sinisterly, beginning to flood the room with thick arcs of electricity.
* Sammael unbuckles and checks over her things as she stands.
<DeathStar> 6* The monsters get shocked
<Sammael> "...Nice, though the ruse is indeed over."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Hold hands with me, everyone. 6* She holds out her hands.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and holds out hia hand for Billy.
* Chad`Winters glances at Billy and he moves over, holding his hand out
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis touches Xanatos
<DeathStar> 6* Darien touches Chad
* Sammael walks over and gently puts her hand on Billy's shuolder.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart checks a gun, then types something into her computer, reaching over to touch Billy
<Kit> 6Freyja cranks up the juice, so to speak, making the arcs blue so she'll sufficiently mutilate those that arrived, leaving no trace that they haven't gone elsewhere, then hugs onto Billy. Dawn moves over after Aya to reach in as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya touches Chad as well.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Now everyone say "Fu fu fu"
<Sammael> "Fu fu fu"
<Kit> <Freyja> I-- ... fufufu..?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Fu fu fu?
<Kit> 6Dawn stares.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> ... Fu. Fu. Fu.
<Chad`Winters> Fu fu fu. 6He says, clearly wanting to rush this part
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Fu Fu Fu.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy fufufus, then shadowports them out into a hallway near the hanger
<Kit> <Freyja> I won't hold back this time.
* Chad`Winters unhooks his datapad and begins scanning for anything giving off enough energy to power a time machine
<DeathStar> 6* The base seems to be very much like a Dark One base. Billy touches a wall, absorbing dark energies from the material
* Sammael pulls out her gun and looks around the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Tehre seems to be one underneath them by a few hundred meters.
<Kit> 6Freyja twitches angrily. 1"They've really ... ... ... 'p-pissed' me off.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Are you stuttering?
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart peers around
<Chad`Winters> There's something below us a few hundred meters.
<Kit> <Freyja> I don't usually use bad language! HRMPH!
* X1 has joined #taw
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slides the rune blade into a sheath on his and then pulls out both of his pistols. 1We'll need to find some stairs then. Which direction?
<Chad`Winters> Let me check my map. 6He says blandly
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves ahead down the hallway for now
* Sammael moves after Darien.
<Kit> <Freyja> It runs on hyperspace, doesn't it?" 6She looks to Erevis.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> Yes. I will find it. Do not worry.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> You're just not nice. 6He notes to Chad and then moves after Darien.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Maybe that's one reason they want your body so bad. To run more time machines.
<Chad`Winters> It makes sense. 6He follows, keeping close to his daughter
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> The enemy desires my body because I made the enemy... 6* She says darkly.
<Kit> <Freyja> They've taken their last 'body!'" 6She practically roars.
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead, monsters rush forward toward them, about 12 of them.
* Chad`Winters quickly unholsters Ebony and fires a shot past Durran for one's head
* Sammael leans around and fires at the monsters, careful of Darien in front of her.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pulls up his pistols and slides to the left after the shot comes by him, he kneels and begins to openfire.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien kneels to fire ahead.
<Kit> 6Freyja takes out her bow and rears back, aiming somewhat, but after firing, the arrow acts like a lancet of light energy she alters the path for, aiming for as many of the enemies as she can strike by minorly moving it.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart takes aim, firing at what she can. Aya pulls out a gun, but holds fire with everyone else doing it. Billy holds outa hand as each is dissolving, drains them into herself. They quickly dispatch the 12
<Kit> <Freyja> Andrea, don't get careless with that energy...
<DeathStar> 6* A voice speaks. "The intruders are in the main hallway. Kill them all. We will take their bodies afterward."
<Kit> 6Freyja jerks, then glares at the voice's source, aiming an arrow for it.
<Chad`Winters> Atleast we know where we're at.
<DeathStar> 6* Behind them, corrupting energy pours down, blocking the way back, and the energy gushing towards them.
* Sammael frowns a bit. "How inhospitable."
* Chad`Winters glances back. 1"Everyone run now."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart glances back. "What is that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hurries forward.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances over his shoulder and makes a face. 1Crap. 6He breaks into a run. 1Don't let it touch you!
<Sammael> "...Better move." *she hurries after Darien*
* Chad`Winters starts sprinting after the others alongside Aya
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis dashes along, and Aya hurries with them. Billy peers at it, then moves after them, blinking ni and out of sight as she shadowports.
<Kit> 6Dawn peers back, then curses silently, dashing forward.
<Kit> 6Freyja lifts herself up slightly and floats forward, twitching, but keeping an eye out to make sure no one trips or falls behind.
<DeathStar> 6* AS they hurry, more dark energy shoots out of the walls and ceilings, providing an obstacle course for everyone. Prepare yourselves!
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Right, Left, Right, Left, Up, Down, Right, Left, Right, Up, Down
<DeathStar> 5

<DeathStar> 6* They all shift past the barriers. Up ahead a barrier begins to lower to block their path.
<DeathStar> *past the energy
<Kit> 6Freyja holds her hand out forming pillars of earth under it and pressing up.
<DeathStar> 6* The barrier presses down, and due to Freyja's use of energy so far, doesn't seem to be strong enough until she rests a bit. The earth pillar breaks
<Kit> <Freyja> ...What a time to get rusty..
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face. 1Oh crap. 6he looks to see if they have a chance to make it.
* Chad`Winters shifts and slides for it, his right hand held backwards to grab onto Aya and pull her if he has to.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rolls under it and shoves his shoulder up. It slows, but the sound of bone cracking is also heard
* Sammael dashes for it and attempts to slide for it as well.
<Kit> 6Dawn runs, then leaps, sliding legs first like a ballplayer.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face and moves to slide under it too.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rolls under it and Billy shadowports through while it's still not toching the ground
<Kit> 6Freyja slips under, trying to conserve energy now that she apparently got weaker.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is pulled under.
<Kit> <Freyja> Pacifism really does breed weakness.." 6She sulks.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart rolls under it, and Darien shifts, his leg pinned as he does.
* Chad`Winters pulls himself up and he then his daughter onto her feet
<DeathStar> 6* The barrier presses down, the bone cracknig
* Sammael pulls herself up, she looks back at Darien in concern. She rushes over and tries to pull up on the barried so her can get loose.
<Kit> 6Freyja bows to Darien in reverence, Dawn goes to see if he can help yank him out from under all at once.
<Chad`Winters> Billy, shadowport him.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and glances back to Darien. 1Damn. It got you good. 6He moves to help.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy peers back. Darien's pulled out moments before she reacts to Chad's command.
* Chad`Winters let's out a breath of relief. 1"How bad is it Darien?"
* Sammael lets go of the barrier when Darien is safe.
<DeathStar> 6* In the room they're in now, a circular room with a north exit and exits to the west and east, monsters begin to rush in, covered in corruption goo. They leap at the team
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart aims, firing at one as it rushes forward, tackling her down
<DeathStar> 6* Aya turns, knocked over as one slobbers dark goo all over her face
* Chad`Winters swings Ebony ahead, firing at one coming at him, his other hand quickly pulling out his mod gun and firing for the heado f hte one ontop of his daughter
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis activates an energy sword, slashing otu at one to cut it, trying to avoid the stuff
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Shit that's broken for sure. Use me as support. 6He goes to hold out a hand for Darien before pausing and making a face to pull out his rod, turing it into a spear as he attempts to impale one and sling it aside.
* Sammael pulls up her gun, firing at one of them. She sticks by Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad takes off it's head, splattering Aya as it dissolves.
<Kit> 6Dawn shifts, and runs forward to kick it off Aya even if it's shot... too late.
<DeathStar> 6* One leaps at Dawn
<Chad`Winters> Aya, please tell me you're alright.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy grabs one s it leaps on her, falling down; she absorbs it
* Sammael adjusts her aim and fires at Dawn's attacker.
<Kit> 6Dawn throws his hand out, hurtling an energy knife for the head, his concern on Aya as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sits up, a strange look on her face.
<Kit> 6Freyja poises herself, apparently to conserve energy she resorts to her martial arts.
<DeathStar> 6* Sam and Dawn take it out. One leaps at Sam from behind - it'll touch in 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
* Sammael dodges
* Chad`Winters shifts his aim and fires for the one going after Sam
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts and moves to help Iceheart if she's still tackled.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad takes it out as Sam dodges. Iceheart's indeed still tackled, goo all over her clothes
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos tries to use his spear to bat if off.
* Sammael shifts and checks on Darien with a quick glance, looking for more attackers.
<Chad`Winters> Come on Aya, talk to me. 6He fires at the one that tackled Iceheart
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos bats it away. Darien rises against the wall. Aya throws up on the floor. <Aya> S-Sorry..
<Kit> 6Freyja's eyes widen and she moves over, touching Iceheart and lightstepping her out of her clothes even
<Chad`Winters> Oh thank god. It's alright princess.
<DeathStar> 6* It dissolves. Iceheart peers down in her underwear and bra. There appears to be none on her skin
* Sammael frowns and grabs her medical equipment. She works on Darien's leg.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and points to Iceheart. 1You should do missions like that more often.
<Kit> 6Freyja jerks. 1"S-Sorry, but you know how it is.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> ...
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes Xanatos
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Sorry. 6He glances around now.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya just nods, trying to wipe the stuff off of her, her OCD acting up
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... we need to head north
<Kit> <Freyja> H-He means morale, right? I know mine's up now. Heheh..?!" 6She doesn't seem to get it how she says it.
* Sammael patches the leg for a broken bone as best she can and stands fully to check his shoulder.
<Chad`Winters> Just focus on me, Aya. You're doing great.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves over to Darien. 1Here, use me as support.
<Kit> <Freyja> I thought this might happen, though." 6She reaches into her priestess garb, rummaging, then hands Iceheart a set of Chii's old kunoichi clothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans on Xanatos, nodding. Erevis begins to move ahead. Dawn suddenly has a vision of the ooze coming up from the floor to soak their feet and legs.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos begins to hobble forward with Darien.
<Kit> 6Dawn runs forward and whispers to Aya that, frantically looking for a way to counter.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart takes it, eyeing it, then shifts to fit what she can on
* Sammael moves with Xan and Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya glacnes down, then slams her hands down, forming crystal along the floor toward people. "Jump on it!"
<Kit> <Freyja> Any clothes is better than none, for protection.
* Chad`Winters jumps up on it
<Kit> 6Freyja blinks, peering back at Aya, then grabs Iceheart, doing so. Dawn skips up onto it.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart jerks, then jumps up onto the crystal
* Sammael blinks a but and helps Xan get Darien onto it, then hops on herself.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts to put Darien on it and pulls himself up.
<DeathStar> 6* BIlly floats up, peering down. Under the crystal, black ooze bubbles
<Chad`Winters> That was too close.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos lets out a breath. 1Good one, Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, her OCD gone due to having to act like that
<DeathStar> <Darien> They will continue to do this until we wear down. We must move now.
* Sammael looks down at it warily.
<Kit> <Freyja> R-Right.
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis moves northward.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Shame we can't all float. Lucky Billy. 6He helps Darien back up and moves forward after Erevis.
<Kit> 6Freyja helps Iceheart into what's left and ties it for her, already familiar with the pieces, so they can rush ahead. Dawn makes sure Aya's moving.
* Sammael moves on after Erevis.
* Chad`Winters pats his daughter's back and he moves with her after the others
-> [DeathStar] PING
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Ship
<DeathStar> 6* The monsters rush into the bar.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina swings a sword out, taking one's head off. Paladin fires his big ass gun at enemies
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus opens fire, cocking the shotgun after each shot. Mum holds her gun sideways like a gangster and fires at them.
<Chad`Winters> 6The cartel open fire at them while Loki shifts behind Marcus
<Kit> 6The kid forms chakrams in his hands, hurtling them and forming more, dashing about the bar nimbly.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel would discover the damaged areas, but she'll have to focus hard at trying to repair the damage.
<Xanatos> 6* Moa holds her sword ready, not about to rush the enemies.
<Xanatos> 6* Mya hides behind Loki while he hides behind Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Fi moves up from 1C to 1B, rolling; behind him a giant centipede monster explodes up through the floor, chasing him
<Kit> <Megumi> What the...
<DeathStar> <Noname> ... ...
* Ariel focuses on helping Erevis, having faith the others can protect the ship while she helpes Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* PRepare yourself, ARiel
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Down, Right, Right, Left, up, Down, Right, Left, Left, Right, Up, Down, Right

<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel's attempt fails. The bond weakens. She'll only have one more shot when she attempts again
<DeathStar> 6* The centipede rears back and attempts to slam down on top of FI. Isis psionically snatches him forward to avoid it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stops helping Ariel, peering down. "Do you hear something below us?"
<DeathStar> *helping Drasek
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Whatever it was, sounded big.
<Kit> 6Megumi runs forward, forming her chain daggers, swinging one by the support and hurtles it to try and stick into the centipede so she can pull herself up.
<DeathStar> 6* In the bar, the monsters are quickly beaten. Paladin frowns. "That was too easy."
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Don't say that. Infact, you never say that.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, in the garden, a giant worm like monster smashes it way into the garden area, shifting forward and knocking down trees as it heads for Theron
<Kit> <Kid> Don't jinx us, y'oaf." 6He sits on the bar by Mya, Moa and Mum, twirling a chakram on his finger.
<Chad`Winters> 6The Cartel in the Garden open fire at the centipede as it comes flying in
<Xanatos> 6* Theron arches a brow. 1Spread out and concentrate your fire! 6He shifts to dash towards the right, opening full auto on the worm.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Just be on your guard, they were in the vents last time.
<DeathStar> 6* The centipede rushes around with Megumi riding it. Isis stares.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> That doesn't sound very reassuring. 6He peers up
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Not trying to be reassuring. Just want everyone to come out of this alive.
<Kit> 6If she can get a hold, Megumi would swing herself up by the chain, using the emerald in her other hand to form her scythe as she ascends, then lets go of the crystal chain to hold in both hands and descend with the scythe for a deep puncture.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> I always knew you liked me.
<Kit> <Kid> I want wine for two when this is over.
<DeathStar> 6* The centipede jerks in pain, swishing about toward the house now. Noname tries to form a barrier to protect it
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Tolerate is probably the better word. But we'll go with like if it makes you feel better. 6He gives Loki a smirk.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a giant worm smashes against the small doorway, trying to enter the bar but not fitting. Katrina stares.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> What the hell was that?
<Kit> 6Megumi would try to plant her feet and yank it out once she stops sliding down by the blade and then slash viciously as many times as she can, like trying to chop down a tree.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Holy fucking shit. I don't know but kill it now! 6He switches to condesed fire and begins to fire at it, Mum also starts firing again.
<Chad`Winters> 6The Cartel fire out of the door
<DeathStar> 6* The centipede flails about, then stops moving.
<Kit> <Kid> A target." 6He starts hurtling razor thin crystal chakrams at its face and mouth.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks as she eyes the numbers on the console. "We're about to be rammed I think."
* Ariel still focuses on Erevis, not about to give up on her
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin fires
<DeathStar> 6* Prepare yourself Ariel!
<DeathStar> 6* Right, Right, Left, Up, Down, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Right, LEft, Up, Down

<Ariel> LLRDULDURLDULRDU
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> 6* Athena peers down as Erevis groans, her eyes getting more focused as she eyes ARiel. "Are we...still in ... dangeR?"
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek makes a face. 1Get on the controls and try to move us down and out of the way. Well if you can. I'll fire in that direction. 6He puts the fire straight behind towards the attacker for now.
<Xanatos> NRP: rammer. Ho ho.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the damaged captain's chair, and then the totalled pilot controls; she sits down in the chair, wincing at the electricity as she begins to shift the ship to the side as best she can
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Anyone got a grenade, I bet it's hungry!
<DeathStar> 6* The worm roars ni pain, then spits acid into the bar.
<Chad`Winters> 6The Cartel move to get out of the way while Loki ducks behind Marcus
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Look out!
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin jerks, turning but acid hits half his face. He roars in pain and falls over.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina ducks down behind the bar
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus backs up and kicks over a table to hide behind. 6* Mya eeks and dives behidn the bar.
<Kit> 6The kid holds his hands down on the counter, trying to raise a barrier of crystal, but winces in doing so
<Xanatos> 6* Mum jerks and dives for Paladin, looking freaked out. While Moa hides with Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin reaches for a grenade on his belt, then holds it up
<DeathStar> 6* Mia bounces into the back to hide
<DeathStar> 6* Athena tackles Ariel, kissing and licking her face in thanks
* Ariel flails some as she's tackled
<Xanatos> 6* Mum gulps and grabs it and jerks to throw, but pauses and then pulls the pin before throwing it for the mouth.
<DeathStar> 6* The worm eats it, then blows up
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek moves the fire upward as they move. 1Don't push it bit, that can't be healthy for you.
<Kit> 6The kid stares, holding out his hand to try and seal the door with crystal so they're not all showered
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis strains to sit up; her mind patterns seem to be normalized, as if whatever was off synch is back in synch
<Xanatos> 6* Mum jerks and moves to get a towel to try and help Paladin, not sure what else to do.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr doesn't respond; Megumi would begin to feel pain through the bond that she was hiding thus far.
* Ariel sits up, giving Athena a hug, "You alright, Erevis?"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus lifts his head up and glances around, he hisses and pulls his coat off quickly. 1Ow son of a bitch that hurt. Aww. 6He holds up his coat with acid holes in it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once, wincing in pain
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Bit!
<DeathStar> 6* Ao glances back. "She looks unconscious."
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki slowly rises and peers over Marcus shoulder. 1"Looks like we killed it."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks and leaps up to pull her away, even if it means getting shocked.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We? 6He peers at Loki.
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek would get a jolt, but he gets Zephyr off. Thankfully, she's still breathing
<Xanatos> <Mum> Gordon hurt, need to get to Medical!
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek shakes slightly and kneels to check her pulse.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems erratic, but there
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Yes we as in all of us.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You did a good job commanding us like you did, Loki.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao keeps on the controls. Athena pauses, then leaps over to weapons, hitting buttons randomly like a cat would
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Hey, I brought in the extra guns. 6He motions at this men
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm just yanking your chain, man. Thanks. 6He pats his shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* MEanwhile, Theron gets eaten by his worm. He'll no doubt roundhouse kick his way out
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki eyes his shoulder then dusts it off. 1"This is fine Cartel Silk my friend.
<Xanatos> 6* Theron climbs a tree and launches a grenade at the worm, trying to get it's attention while the others deal out more damage.
* Ariel pulls herself to her feet, "Do we still have internal sensors?"
<Xanatos> 6* Theron makes a face and attempts to get his katana out, so he can cut his way out.
<DeathStar> 6* Theron's worm is grenaded before he eats him. IT then falls over as Theron cuts out
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Noname hands the babies to MEgumi; both are crying
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek frowns, fussing over Zephyr. 1She's not doing so good.
<Ariel> "What are we dealing with?"
<Xanatos> 6* Theron peers at the others and slings the gunk off of his blade, covered in it himself, he seems to only care about the sword.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> The attacks on the garden and the bar adn the Control Tower are done. The giant man eating beast in the garden is still battling those there
<Chad`Winters> 6The Cartel in the garden swoon at his epicness
<DeathStar> *in the engineering
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Teleporters are down, best we can do is hope SPoC and her folks can deal with it.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...We should all get to the bridge. Less to defend.
<DeathStar> 6* Noname nods, moving for it. Isis follows after him.
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes the two kids, having stowed the emerald to hold them both, wincing at the noise.
<Chad`Winters> 6And fight it SPoC does with her leet team trained by Chuck Theron
<DeathStar> 6* Ako just seems to be crying for attention - or hunger
<Xanatos> 6* Theron peers around. 1Stay alert. 6He moves for the pond to wash off after realizing there's a smell.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Kilek
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers down the stairs. He eyes Billy. "Can you shadow port us down?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> ...6* She nods, waiting for people to touch her
* Chad`Winters reaches out to touch her
* Sammael reaches out and touches Billy's arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart touches her as well, as does Aya. Billy wiggles her breasts at Freyja to touch
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos puts a hand on her.
<Kit> 6Freyja pinches Billy's ears instead. Dawn puts a hand on her shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Billy> FUUUUU
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis touches her and they shadowport down deep below. Ahead of them the hallway is flooded in toxic dark energy
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... the time machine is down there
* Sammael frowns.
<Chad`Winters> And it's blocked by that dark energy. 6He clicks his tongue
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> There's no way in hell we can get through there.
<DeathStar> <Aya> .... Do you think there's a way to drain it on the other side?
<Chad`Winters> I dont' know.
* Sammael rubs her head and sighs.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We can't know, but it's worth a check, I guess.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya frowns, then begins to wade through it, the stuff coming up to her waist.
<Kit> 6Dawn fidgets, biting at his lip.
* Chad`Winters frowns at that, clearly tense.
* Sammael blinks a bit, watching Aya.
<Chad`Winters> Becareful Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya glances back nodding, when suddenly a monster reaches up from the goop and grabs Aya, dragging her down into it
<Sammael> "A-Aya!"
* Chad`Winters eyes go wide and aims Ebony towards the goop, his eyes darting about frantically
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis jerks.
<Kit> 6Dawn immediately has his normal rifle raised, but ... it's too fast, he can't see through it. He hisses through his teeth.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It'll try to kill her or drown her in it.
<Chad`Winters> She can beat it.
<Sammael> "C-Can anyone track it?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face. 1Crap. I-6He glances around quickly. 1Well if she can't we need to figure something out, to save her.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart suddenly jerks forward
<Kit> <Freyja> Rubysama..!?
<Kit> 6Freyja grabs onto her.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses to peer at Iceheart, trying to catch her, but with supporting Darien, it could be tricky.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart glances down at a redstain appearing, something black sticking out her chest; a spike from the wall
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns around. More spikes shoot forward at the group, trying to drive them forward into the goop
<Kit> <Freyja> Ruby..!?
* Chad`Winters unhooks his datapad, quickly scanning for a signautre he put in her suit.
* Chad`Winters jerks to try and avoid getting hit by the spikes.
<DeathStar> 6* As Chad jerks, the datapad falls into the goop just barely within reach
<Kit> 6Freyja's eyes widen and she shifts around, slamming the edge of her hand into the spike, light energy bursting from it, trying to break it off, and any others that head toward her with strikes from her palms.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy blasts at some coming at her. F. Erevis shields Xanatos, one hitting her arm
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts and falls onto his ass with Darien, he places his hand on the ground, trying to make a crystal shield.
<Chad`Winters> Damn't. 6He eyes it to see if he can grab it.
* Sammael stares in shock, she then starts to attempt to keep away from the spikes.
<Kit> 6Dawn makes a face, trying to avoid them, but also bring up one of his own datapads, holding it to Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart kneels as Freyja breaks it off, coughing up blood
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Erevis. 6He hisses, looking worried.
<Kit> <Freyja> No, no... No, no, no..!
<Sammael> "We need to get her somewhere safe Freyja."
<DeathStar> 6* It's just barely within reach. F. Erevis psionically rips it out of her arm. More tries to come at them, and Billy forms a dark barrier, but is now stuck keeping it in place
<Kit> <Freyja> SHUT UP!
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Darien can you get to Aya at all? She's been down for way too long.
* Chad`Winters slides his hand along his belt and he pulls out his staff and extends it. He tries to knock it towards him.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances and shifts into the goop.
<Kit> 6Dawn eyes Chad, then just uses the pad himself, scanning through infrared and such that he has available.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and holds out the rune blade to Darien. 1You never know, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart is very quiet, her breathing rapidly fast.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers back, taking it, then dives into the goop out of sight
* Sammael pulls out her equipment again, using the time they have to try and help Iceheart.
<Kit> 6Freyja, tries to steady Iceheart, sliding the broken spine out, her other hand using her healing touch at the same time.
<DeathStar> 6* Dawn would detect Aya near the middle, being held down by something
<Kit> <Freyja> No, no...
<Kit> 6Dawn kneels, bringing up his rifle and aims outside the bands of heat, firing.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Sorry. Guess I'm... not good at being...a hero
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pulls Erevis too him, inspecting her arm.
<DeathStar> 6* It's bleeding, and black ooze is clearly in her system
<Sammael> "Don't talk... we can save you."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Fuck. We need the Sapphire.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> .... ungh...I can feel it...trying to provoke me with memories...
<Kit> <Freyja> Shh, shh... shhh.. don't say things like that." 6She keeps trying to heal her.
<DeathStar> 6* The wound does heal, but the toxin inside her wound then reopens it
<Sammael> "Fight it Iceheart."
* Sammael frowns, looking at Freyja, "We must remove the toxin, somehow."
<Kit> <Freyja> Sammael..." 6She says slowly, then hisses. 1"No shit!?"
* Chad`Winters eyes his datapad then aims Ebony and fires several shots that arc out then come into the goop.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya gasps, exploding up after the shots. More monsters grab at her, and Darien rises, slashing at them and grabbing her, rushing forward
<Kit> <Freyja> I'm dealing with the wound, why don't you try practicing some of that medicine you praise?!
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses. 1You have the emerald, right? Give it to me.
* Sammael eyes her, in the middle of treating the wound as well.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not.
<Kit> 6Dawn winces, trying to fire at ones they may not have time to deal with.
* Chad`Winters eyes go wide as he fires shots around Aya and Darien at the monsters grabbing onto his duaghter
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I thought you did. Damnit. 6He glances off to the side, frowning.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the black goop begins to literally boil. Darien lifts Aya up as it boils
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis manages a tight smile
<Kit> 6Freyja's eyes take on a more feral expression, looking more and more like Chii rather than herself. 1"I can handle the wound, just focus on the fucking poison!"
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart closes her eyes, as if passing out. Black lines appearing
<Kit> <Freyja> 'Poison of God' isn't it your specialty!?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers at the boiling and frowns. 1God this is hell. 6* He places his hand on the ground, trying to make a crystal bridge for Darien and Aya to climb up on.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets Aya to the other side, then sinks into the boiling goop
* Sammael pulls out more equipment, attempting to extract the poison safely. "I'm trying, Freyja."
<Chad`Winters> We need to drain that stuff somehow...Darien, can you jam your blade into the ground and cut a hole?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ...shit.
<DeathStar> 6* AS the bridge reaches him, Darien's hand shoots up and pulls himself up
<Kit> 6Dawn peers toward Chad, then takes down his other rifle and aims it for the floor. He gives it a ratchet, then fires one of the two shells he has, aiming to blow right through the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks around on her side, then moves nito the next room out of sight. Darien climbs onto the crystal bridge, his flesh burnt and boiled as he holds the rune blade.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos lets out a breath, doing his best to try and not panic, he peers to Erevis. 1Are you fighting it okay?
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> So far.
<Kit> <Freyja> No, no... Ruby, don't..! I'm here! Don't let it get to you..! I won't let it..
<DeathStar> 6* The toxin seems to have spread throughout the body
<DeathStar> 6* The goop begins to drain after a moment, either from the shots or Aya finding something.
<Sammael> "We normally use that blade for this... it's no normal toxin... Freyja, this is beyond me I'm afraid."
<Kit> <Freyja> ...W-Won't let it... P-Possess her, will you..?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos frowns and peers from Erevis, to Ice, to Darien. 1Freyja you have to calm down or else the corruption will get you too.
<Chad`Winters> Durran, get us a safe pathway across.
<Kit> <Freyja> Possess.. H-Heh. Heheh. What if I do it first..? Fufufu...
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to Chad, then the crystal bridge, then Chad.
<Kit> 6Freyja brings up her free hand, forming the blueish foxfire.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Freyja Momma. I'll save her.
* Sammael blinks, moving away from Freyja a bit.
* Chad`Winters moves for the bridge and runs across it.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks at Freyja, using theri connection to draw attention to her voice
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos motions Erevis forward. 1Go. Everyone get Iceheart and get across the bridge, we can work on saving her once across.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis shifts across. She kneels by Darien, helping him up
<Kit> <Freyja> We need you, Billy." 6She doesn't seem crazed or anything, she's just using a different kind of bridge, her blue-hued hand reaches into Iceheart's chest, and she starts to lie down, oddly inside of her. Apparently she was literal about possession.
<DeathStar> <Billy> ... 6* She keeps one hand on the barrier, eyeing Freyja
<Chad`Winters> Aya?! 6He glances around once he makes it to the other side
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos sighs and moves over to lift up Iceheart after Freyja does this, moving with them both over the barrier. 1Sam, Billy. Quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya steps into view, covered in sexy black goop. "Are you all okay?"
<DeathStar> <Billy> ... go Sammael.
* Sammael nods and moves across the bridge. "...Alright."
<Chad`Winters> No, Dariens injured more, Icehearts infected and so is Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* BIlly waits, then leaps bac, the barier dropping and spears shooting out. She knocks what she can aside, taking a few hits herself as she leaps back to join the others
<DeathStar> 6* Ahead of them is the time machine
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers ahead and frowns. 1Well we're here. Now what?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos kneels and places Ice on the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy shifts to her six year old form, a clear sign she's running low on power fighting something
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis eyes the time machine.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to have a barrier around it
<Chad`Winters> We need to disable the barrier. 6He looks around.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya frowns, peering at Darien and Iceheart, then at the barrier. Darien shifts to rise, more machine now than man (kidding, more burnt flesh now than man)
<DeathStar> <Aya> I looked, I didn't see anything.
* Sammael frowns a little.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> It is possible the RUne Blade can pierce it and hit the tim emachine itself.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Would that damage cause the future to cease to exist and all of that?
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> Yes.
<Sammael> "So someone needs to stay behind and use the Rune Blade to destroy it...? I am having a terrible sense of Deja Vu."
<Kit>
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Oh damnit, Ariel is going to be so pissed at me.
<Chad`Winters> She'll get over it
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> ... 6* She eyes Darien, who eyes her back
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> So who's staying?
<Chad`Winters> We've got a worse problem. We need to find a way back to the ship.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Enemy....feel approaching...heh heh...can feel them...hundreds coming.
<Kit> 6Iceheart starts to sit up after a moment, a hand to her head, then hissing and putting it to the wound she has at her chest, but stands up either way, ragged in breath. 1"Ugh... hurts... a lot."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Hundreds? Fuck just do it now, put an end to all of this.
* Chad`Winters eyes Durran at that.
<DeathStar> <Aya> W-What?
<Sammael> "...If it saves the others..."
<Chad`Winters> If Billy and Freyja use their teleporting powers together, we could get close if not in the ship.
<Kit> <Iceheart> I didn't just save her so we could all die together...
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Wait, if we get the shield down, you think it'll be possible to teleport the device to Ice's ship?
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> And what would that accomplish? It would still need to be destroyed on this side.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> And we would not know what all needed to be teleported so it did not shut off.
<Chad`Winters> You're not thinking straight Durran.
<Sammael> "If we could even get the barrier down, we have enemies at the gates."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Billy. 1"Can you and Freyja still manage to get us on the ship?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Damn. You're right. Of course I'm not thinking straight we have 100 enemies coming for us and we're running out of time.
<Kit> <Iceheart> If it is the only way-- it's the only way. We'll do it.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I saved just enough energy for a jump...fufufu...but it'll take more than I got to go through the material above us
<DeathStar> 6* Billy eyes Iceheart. "Can you still manage it in the body?"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ...we have another problem, whoever stays has to worry about fighting off the Legacy and destroying the device.
* Sammael looks over at Iceheart.
<Kit> <Iceheart> It's one of the first things I learned in spirit form. ...It's one of the only things I'm tuned enough for right now.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> ... I will do it. Darien Starr is in no shape now.
* Chad`Winters glances at F. Erevis.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Erevis, you're already infected...
<Kit> <Iceheart> Megumichan will be ...
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> You will have to believe that I will not succumb.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I don't want to have to believe it. What about your kids?!
* Chad`Winters pulls out a small rag for Aya to wipe the black goop off.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien strains to stand.
* Sammael peers at F. Erevis.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> They will still have another me. Many would mourn Darien Starr as well if he stayed, and we cannot be sure if he has the strenght to survive the onslaught coming
<Kit> <Freyja> This is... a sad situation.
* Chad`Winters shifts his free hand along his belt and he begins pulling out explosives. He holds them out to Erevis
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos grits his teeth. 1Goddamnit, you go back to your kids, let me do it.
<Sammael> "I could do it..."
* Chad`Winters eyes Durran at that. 1"And break your promise to Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> You promised the other me. You promised my daughter.
<DeathStar> 6* She looks angry.
<DeathStar> 6* She psionically takes the explosives.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face. 1Fuck...FUCK this sucks. I hate this. 6He rubs his face.
<DeathStar> <Darien> .... I'll do it....
<DeathStar> 6* He's barely standing as he says this
<Sammael> "I could do it. Then... then there would be no problem."
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone eyes Sammael
* Chad`Winters rubs his face, knowing their time is running out.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> God someone just do it. 6He glancing away from everyone, rubbing his eyes.
* Sammael looks back at them, clenching her fists.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy focuses her energy now to get the shadow port ready
<Kit> <Freyja> ... ..." 6She peers away, likely ashamed she'll coward out of it.
<Chad`Winters> Darien you can barely stand. You wont' last long enough for us to make it through the time gate
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* He just nods, peering down
<DeathStar> <Billy> You sure you can do it, then, Sammael?
<Kit> 6Freyja sighs painfully, then closes her eyes, concentrating so she can gather more energy with the body's current limits.
<Sammael> "I will do my best."
<DeathStar> <Billy> I say let her do it, then
<Kit> <Iceheart> Andrea...
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> ... that would... Sammael Hendricks.....
<DeathStar> <Billy> ERevis has family. Would you rather she do it?
<Kit> <Freyja> I would rather no one did it, but..
<Sammael> "I want everyone to live, my parents, everyone, I'll do it."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ...you shouldn't have volunteered Sam.
* Sammael looks at Xan.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shakes his head. 1This is between you and Erevis. Decide now, we're out of time as it is.
<Kit> 6Freyja gulps, then winces before bowing deeply to Sammael. 1"...I'm sorry for the things I said before."
<DeathStar> 6* The sounds of approaching enemies can be heard. Erevis lowers her head, then holds up the Rune Blade and explosives to Sammael. "If you are certain---take them."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But if you stay, you must be certain you will never fall
* Sammael nods, taking them. "It means Athena's future and safety. I will not fall."
<Kit> <Freyja> ...You're certain..?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> If you give up, all of this was for nothing. All of it. You have to remain strong....I'm sorry I was hard on you...thanks Sam.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy and Freyja form the shadow portal
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks sad. "Sam..." 6* She manages, unsure what to say
* Sammael nods to him. "Just... tell her I am sorry... and tell my parents... something."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts to help Darien and moves through the portal.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> .... my daughter will miss you very much. 6* She says.
* Chad`Winters glances at Erevis to see if she's sure about this
* Sammael nods, shaking, "I-I know... I'm... I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya moves through into the hanger, where she begins to strip out of her clothes
<Kit> <Iceheart> ...You saved our time period. There is little else to tell them.." 6She holds out her hand, then touches her fingertips to Sammael, glowering momentarily. 1"...It's all I can do, but to raise your awareness and your own ability with what I have left. The rest I need to get everyone safe.." 6She uses her enchant on Sammael, not mentioning she's saved a little for the injury she's sharing.
<Chad`Winters> Don't faulter Sammael. 6He moves through after his daughter
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows to Sammael, then steps through
<Sammael> "Good luck."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya takes a knife to cut her hair off as best she can, not wanting to risk any getting on the ship. She keeps her back to Dawn as she strips down
<Kit> 6Iceheart uncharacteristically trembles, then hugs Sammael-- bleeding on her a bit-- then makes sure everyone else gets through before looking to Billy.
<Kit> 6Dawn rubs his face a bit and gazes off to the side.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos sets Darien down gently and moves for the hanger, stone faced.
* Chad`Winters pulls out one of his long cloths he always kept on him because of Zephyr and he holds it out to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy nods to Iceheart, yanking her through, the portal closing
* Sammael blinks and looks a bit lost, she smiles softly and turns to face the oncoming enemies.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> What I am doing is wrong. 6* She says emotionalessly
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> What we're all doing is wrong. 6He says shortly.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy reaches into ICeheart's pocket, tapping a button to lower the ship's ramp
<Kit> <Iceheart> There is no right, I'm afraid.
<DeathStar> 6* Monsters rush at Sammael from the other side
* Chad`Winters draps the cloth over his daughter when shes' clean of black goop and he leads her to the ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya eyes him, her hair now as short as his
<DeathStar> 6* Darien wheezes, barely conscious
* Sammael readies to face them, blade ready, hurling some explosives back into the rushing crowd. "...For Athena."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos helps Darien up and then would move towards the bridge. 1Stay alive Darien. 6He pulls out the two nanites injections and hands them to him.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> I wonder if I allowed myself to do this because the Sammael of my timeline gave up her life to allow Angela Bennet to return. Or if because I have no honor left... 6* She says to herself
<Chad`Winters> We're not out of this yet Aya. 6He tries to give her a smile and he moves for the bridge quickly
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes them, taking them to inject
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Don't dwell on it. Nothing good will come of it. 6He tells FE.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy gets onto the ship and collapses
<Kit> <Freyja> He's right. I'm living proof of what clinging to the past can do.
<DeathStar> 6* Monsters rush at the ship's ramp
<Chad`Winters> Durran, close the ramp and get the ship up and in the air.
* Chad`Winters moves to the co-pilots seat
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos does a wave, moving to do just that.
<Kit> 6Dawn kneels at the ramp entry and fires his last custom round into the leading horde. Iceheart stumbles in and kneels by Billy. 1"...Are you... okay?"
<Kit> 6Dawn then moves to close it.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Fu, tired.
* Chad`Winters eyes the controls and taps at them to bring the systems on line
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos works to get the ship going and up into the air. 1Oh fuck we have to go back through all that crap.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien whispers throatily. "Black probes...in air..."
<Kit> <Iceheart> Yeah... ...me too..
<DeathStar> 6* F. Erevis touches a comm link to Sammael. "I will inform you when we reach the time gate." 6* She leaves it open
<Chad`Winters> Erevis, target them with the weapons. I'll steady Xan's flying.
<Kit> 6Dawn pauses, eyeing the two and moves over to gently slap at Iceheart and Billy's cheeks.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Ooo, now slap my other...cheeks.
* Sammael continues to fight, she makes a sound of acknowledgement as she takes a swing.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves to get them out of the hanger and aims them towards the sky, going up.
<DeathStar> 6* The older Erevis sits at the controls to target the probes.
<Kit> 6Dawn stares at Billy, sighs, and moves to find Aya
<Chad`Winters> Someone needs to make sure our shields stay up.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stands on the bridge, watching
<Chad`Winters> Aya, can you manage shields?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, sitting
<DeathStar> 6* PREPARE YOURSELF XANATOS FOR THE ULTIMATE FLYING TEST
<Kit> 6Iceheart mumbles, then shifts so she can cuddle on Billy, apparently doing enough to stop herself from bleeding.
<DeathStar> 6* Up

<DeathStar> 6* Somehow, Chad Winters manages to save the day after Xanatos fails a bit through
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos lets out a breath. 1Always covering my ass, Chad.
<Kit> 6Dawn pauses, looking like for the first time he might get motion sickness
<Chad`Winters> Get us into that time gate now.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos hits the thrusters, moving for it.
<DeathStar> 6* A monster meanwhile bites into Sam's neck, tearing flesh
* Sammael screams in pain and punches at it, trying to get it off. Swinging her blade around.
<Chad`Winters> Forget about weapons and reroute all power to shields and engines
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Better yet, someone get me a bag, I feel sick.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' eyes shift to the comm link as the scream resounds
<Chad`Winters> You can puke later.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> No that kind of sick.
<Sammael> "N-Not yet... NOT YET."
<DeathStar> 6* As they head for the time gate, the three ships begin to fire at them
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts to avoid the fire, clenching his teeth.
<DeathStar> 6* The monster retreats, as another bites into Sam's leg, tearing it off.
* Sammael cries out, swinging at it, she falls over, clutching onto the blade. She taps into everything she has, desperate to live just long enough.
<DeathStar> 6* the creature gets holied.

<DeathStar> 6* Another monster tackles her to the ground, the rune sword sliding out of grasp. IT bites down at her face
<Chad`Winters> Come on, we're almost there.
<DeathStar> 6* PREPARE OYURSELF XANATOS TO AVOID THEIR FIRE

<DeathStar> 6* Sammael grabs it
* Sammael grabs the blade and unleashes a Holy wave, trying to get some ground to stall. "I will... not fail..."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Do it now Sam! 6He calls out as they get near the gate.
<DeathStar> 6* Another monster stabs her in the gut at that, beginning to infect her with toxins
* Sammael turns and stabs the blade into the machine. "FOR THE FUTURE!"
<Chad`Winters> Yes, let's not wait until we're half way through the gate.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces as she hears Sam go for it, then the gate
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Good point. 6He hits the engines to fulls peed.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... oh god--
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: CHIP
<DeathStar> 6* Ao fires the progenitor bustah into another ship, destroying it, looking ragged now
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek shakes his head. 1I think we're about out of batteries!
<DeathStar> 6* CHIP speaks suddenly. "The time gate has collapsed."
<Kit> <Megumi> Collapsed..?
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses. 1That's good, right?
<Kit> <Megumi> D-Did they!?
<DeathStar> <CHIP> It means they succeeded --- but I did not see anyone come out of it.
<Kit> <Megumi> N-no!!
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I Believe it is likely they destroyed it too soon before they could leave
<DeathStar> 6* Athena's eyes water
<Xanatos> <Drasek> ...blimey.
* Ariel gapes, "N-no. That can't be right..."
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Wait, Iceheart's ship jut decloaked. Whew, my bad.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Think you just gave everyone a heart attack, mate.
* Ariel twitches some. Her calm blown for the first time in a while.
<Kit> <Megumi> ... ... CHHIIIIIIIPPPPP!
<DeathStar> <CHIP> How was I suppose to know?! My sensors are barely working!
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek checks to see how many Legacy ships are left.
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be none left, either they got them all, or the remaining ones ran for it
<Xanatos> <Drasek> ...sure hope we got all of those gits. 6he tries to open up comms with Ice's ship to let them know they're around.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers down weakly. "Work on repairing the teleporters as priority.' 6* CHIP adjusts power to the teleporters, flickering them to life. AThena bonds onto one and heads to the hanger
<DeathStar> 6* The comm link goes through
* Chad`Winters voice can be heard over the comm. 1"YOU IDIOT! You almost got us erased from existence!"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos on Comm> Oh I had it, calm down.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Sounds like they are okay.
<DeathStar> <Erevis on Comm> ... we had only 1 second to spare by my calculations.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Hey you twats stop making out and come find us.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos on Comm> See, I told you I had it.
* Ariel finds herself smiling a little at the fighting over the comm.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Oh do not stroke his ego like that.
<DeathStar> 6* The Erevis of this time line pauses, thinking for sure her counter part would have stayed. If she didn't... ".... Darien Starr...."
<DeathStar> <Erevis on Comm> That was not my intent by any means.
<Kit> <Iceheart on Comm> Make sure Megumichan has the emerald sword, please..!
* Ariel drops smiling.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Did Iceheart just call me Megumi... 'chan?'
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... y-yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* She says from the floor, her pulse still erratic
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> This is Durran we're talking about. Now he'll think he didn't almost kill us."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> ...right well I'm getting Zeph to medbay. 6He lifts her up and takes the her to Cad.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart's ship lands into the hanger. Athena waits.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> B-But--
<Kit> <Megumi> I am coming..
<DeathStar> 6* Isis holds the babies for Megumi
<Kit> 6Megumi jerks, then takes them wincing slightly. She almost got away. She carried them, following Drasek
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Uh, Meg they need that sphere in the hanger.
* Chad`Winters gets out of the co-pilots seat and he moves over to his daughter, putting both hands on her shoulders to give them a squeeze. 1"I know you idolize me and everything, but the same hair cut?"
<Kit> <Megumi> They are likely heading the medical bay, too, right? Knowing us.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... 6* She gives him a tired smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena sits by the ramp, waiting with worry
<Chad`Winters> And your birthday suit's coming out of your allowance. 6He holds a hand to help her stand.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos rubs his face and glances to Erevis. 1Let's get you to medbay. And don't tell Chad how much I was freaking out in my head. 6He says quietly, giving her a smile before moving to get Darien to Medbay.
<Kit> 6Dawn hugs Aya from the side, helping her stand as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya rises with their help
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek lays Zephyr down on a bed and gets Caduceus, giving Megumi a simple nod that she's probably right.
<DeathStar> 6* She nods, rising slowly for the hanger. Athena perks up at seeing Xanatos and Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> Let's get you down to medbay to get cleared then home to rest, alright?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos peers up when he sees Athena and glances off to the side slightly, frowning.
* Ariel takes the teleporter to the hangar, wanting to see those who made it back before the medbay got too crowded.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena tilts her head.
<Kit> 6Iceheart makes her way down, despite a wound to her chest, carrying Billy.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy gropes Iceheart
<Kit> <Iceheart> Andrea!
<DeathStar> 6* The older Erevis pauses, peering at Athena. Burnt to a crisp Darien is being supported by Xanatos
* Chad`Winters helps his daughter out into the hanger.
* Ariel walks over slowly, seeming somewhat surprised. Though plesantly so. She looks to Xanatos, "Do you need a hand?"
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi's Erevis enters the medical bay to be checked out as well, after getting the ship into hyperspace.
<DeathStar> 6* She sits down on a bed
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Careful he smells like cooked ham.
<Kit> 6Iceheart heads for the medical bay for herself at least.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena peers around, as if peering for someone else.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy keeps groping. "Hm, now do I like Hijacking Momma's boobs better or these."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ...I'm sorry Athena. Sam was the one that stayed.
<Kit> <Iceheart> ... They're bigger than mine.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr eyes Caduceus as he examines her.
* Ariel moves to support Darien on the other side, "...it seems oddly familiar." She quiets at the talk of Sam staying.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena jerks, staring at her blankly
<DeathStar> *him
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ... 6he eyes the ground.
* Chad`Winters steps onto the teleporter with Aya and most likely Dawn and hits medical
<DeathStar> 6* Athena's ears droop, and she runs off.
<Ariel> "It... was a very noble act."
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> ... Athena...Tiny Kitten... 6 She watches her go, knowing she won't be able to catch her
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Shit. 6He hisses and rubs his face.
<Kit> <Megumi> As I thought... just about everyone is coming here.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Aya, jerking, then crying out in pain. "I-Is she o-okay?" 6* She stutters.
* Ariel shakes her head. "She'll need her time." She then pauses, and narrows her eyes at Xanatos.
<Chad`Winters> She seems fine, but we're making sure. 6He helps her get onto a bed.
<DeathStar> <F. Erevis> ... I have allowed my daughter to feel more pain. 6* She sounds pained herself, twitching as the toxin tries to catch those emotions
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> YES I lost it Ariel, but we had the timeline to save. 6He mutters and grabs Erevis' arm to lead her to medbay. 1Knock it off Erevis, she'll be okay. It'll just take time.
<DeathStar> 6* She doesn't respond, allowing herself to be led along.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr twitch nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sits down. Caduceus eyes Iceheart walking around with that wound
<Kit> <Megumi> When Xanatos gets here I will start purging..
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Zeph here had more juice put through her than a generator.
* Ariel lets out a dramatic hmph. "You owe me a new one then."
<Kit> 6Iceheart sets Billy down in the medical bay, finding a place to take a seat.
<Chad`Winters> Unfortunate. 6He grabs a stool and slides it over, sitting on it
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slumps at Ariel saying that, then hits medbay.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at her other self as she's led along
<DeathStar> 6* And then eyes cooked Darien
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos sets FE on a bed and holds out his hand to Megumi. 1Come'on we've got work to do
* Ariel carefully leads Darien over to one of the beds and lays him down.
<Kit> <Megumi> Yeah... ..Is this everyone, though?
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus eyes Darien, then moves to get Darien move to an ICU and hooked up to a healing tank
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Sammael and.. Freyja are missing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Indeed. Where are they?
<Chad`Winters> Freyja's inside Iceheart
* Ariel eyes Chad at that, a little WTF.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin lays in a medical bed, half his face patched up with healing patches
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks. 1"Inside..? O-Of course we are in each other's hearts, surely you do not mean she died..!?"
<Chad`Winters> I didn't ask the logistics behind it.
<DeathStar> <Billy> No, she wanted to get inside Iceheart with just more than her tongue
<Kit> <Iceheart> Andrea!!
* Ariel blinks blankly, "...kinky."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy looks innocent
<Kit> 6Iceheart twitches, then turns Billy over and spanks her a few times. Lightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy fuus
* Ariel wonders who is filming this scene for blackmail.
* Xanatos has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Kit> 6Iceheart then turns her back over and hugs her until she can be checked on.
* Xanatos has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<DeathStar> 6* Billy hugs limp like a doll as she's hugged
<Kit> <Megumi> ...So she is...
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki steps in holding his pointer finger. 1"I think I got a splinter."
<Kit> 6Megumi doesn't look like she really believes it. 1"Okay. Freyja is... inside Iceheart. Where is Sammael?"
<Ariel> "Sammael... stayed behind."
<Kit> <Iceheart> Iceheart got a splinter too... a very big one. I think yours can wait.
<Kit> <Megumi> You are... kidding, right?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> No. Sapphire. 6He makes a motion with his hand.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki eyes Iceheart at that. 1"Why are you talki-HOLY SHIT THERE'S A HOLE IN YOUR BODY!"
* Ariel shakes her head.
<Kit> 6Iceheart stares, then squints. 1"...Very observant."
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki moves over to her quickly, eyeing it closely
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks several times, then nods, shocked. Taking Xanatos' grasp she focuses on the emerald, turning it into the compact dagger form.
<Kit> <Iceheart> Will you quit... staring inside. It's embarassing...
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing happens!
<Kit> <Megumi> I-- ... It will not work.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> How are you even still alive? 6He peers around grabs something then slowly moves to poke it inside the gaping hole
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Hm. Maybe it's mad at me?
<Kit> <Iceheart> I-- .. AAiiiiiiEEEeeeee!? OWW! OW!
<DeathStar> 6* Billy whacks at Loki
<Chad`Winters> It's more likely that neither of your minds are in the right set.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki scowls as he's whacked and he rubs his head.
<Kit> 6Megumi shakes off her daze, then slightly panics. She has to make it to start helping people. She stares at it, trying again.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos lets out a breath and closes his eyes, trying to focus.
<DeathStar> 6* The dagger turns blue
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Darn. If it hadn't of worked that time I was going to suggest making out.
<Kit> <Megumi> I-- ... I want to find Athena. She already knows, does she not.. I can feel it.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I think I should. I let it happen after all.
* Chad`Winters looks over for their Erevis
<Kit> <Megumi> You are not truthful. She must have volunteered.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She frowns, not for SAm's death, but for Athen
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is on a medical bay, patiently waiting her turn
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I really should talk to her. 6He says honestly. 1Iceheart and Erevis both were hit.
<Chad`Winters> Erevis, did we lose anyone?
<Ariel> "I'll let you know if anything happens here Megumi. Go find her."
<Kit> <Megumi> ...I have to purify people.
<Kit> 6Megumi rubs her face. 1"...Please Xanatos. She should not be alone."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Alpha Zephyr took a lot of damage, we do not know the extent yet. Theron L'Kai was eaten, but cut his way out. And Gordon Paladin's face was burned by acid.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Just let me know where she is.
<Kit> <Megumi> Unfortunately I do not have that strong of a link... But I would check where she often most saw Sammael-- likely.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos squints and nods, moving to the teleporter.
* Chad`Winters nods, glancing at Paladin for second before looking at his daughter again.
<Kit> 6Megumi rubs her face again, then nods to Erevis, getting up to check those who came into contact with the Legacy physically.
<Xanatos> 6* Mum sits with a piece of pie, waiting for Paladin to be well enought o eat it.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos hits 1B and moves for the house, looking for Athena.
<Kit> 6The kid goes to deliver the cookies to Mya, though they're all broken up now. He grumbles.
<DeathStar> 6* A huge lump under the covers of Athena's bed is there
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and moves in to sit on the edge of the bed. 1Athena.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya eyes Megumi drain her of evil
<DeathStar> 6* There's no response.
<Kit> 6Megumi quietly moves to the next person in line.
* Chad`Winters squeezes his daughters hand
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Athena please talk to me.
<Xanatos> 6* Mya blinks and slowly takes a piece of the cookie, she gives the kid a smile and pats his head. 1Thank you.
<DeathStar> 6* There's still no response, other than a soft eerie breathing
<DeathStar> 6* AYa gives Chad a sad smile.
<Kit> <Iceheart> Billy, may I ask you to do something for me..?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slowly moves to pull the covers back.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Do you want me to test out your new body's sexual sensitivity
* Chad`Winters smiles sadly back
<DeathStar> 6* Athena is peering down at the book of Athena pictures Sam made, her eyes looking almost eerily blank like Megumi's when Megumi snaps.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki tilts his head at Billy. 1"Ok so what's going on?"
<Kit> <Iceheart> ..." 6She jerks, blushing at the kid. 1"N-No..."
<DeathStar> <Billy> OH, fuu
<DeathStar> 6* Darien would have a bit of evil in him, too, since he got boiled in it
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos frowns and reaches out to put his arm around her, pulling her into a hug. 1Athena, I'm so sorry.
<Kit> <Iceheart> It's probably still trying to get to her... I want to see if I can calm her. So I'm going to rest... just keep an eye on her for me.
<Kit> 6Iceheart shifts to lie down.
<DeathStar> <Billy> I will. 6* She peers at Iceheart, then catches Loki up
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki stares, blinking then entire time.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena hiccups when she touches, her eyes watering and she lets out a pained howl.
<DeathStar> *He touches her
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos frowns and rests his chin on her head, rubbing her shoulder gently. 1Just let it out. 6He says softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Fi moves into the medical bay, peering around for people. He sees aya and looks relieved
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Don't feel like much of a victory, that's for sure. 6He says with a sigh, sitting down by Zephyr.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Fi as he appears and he checks him over, looking relieved himself.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena keeps sobbing. "Athena not want to lose anyone anymore." 6* She sounds angry. "...always losing people." 6* She quiets again, getting that blank look again
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I-I know...6* She sounds sad, probably picking up faintly what Athena feels
* Ariel frowns, "...I think... I've lost part of myself, if this starts to feel... almost expected."
<Kit> 6Megumi continues with the sapphire knife looking rather vacant, sighing.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I know, I'm so sorry, it's unfair how life is sometimes, how unfair everything is. Sam...she did this for everyone...for you, so we all could live.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena's expression shifts slightly to a pained smile. Almost twisted.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Please don't do that. I know it hurts and I know you're angry, but we're all still here and I'll do my damnest to make sure you don't lose anyone else.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena's face shifts to a sad, empty one. "Athena knew better. Lose people. Shouldn't make friends. All Athena's friends die. Momma died."
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus finishes hooking Darien up to stuff, and then moves to check on Zephyr. He holds osmething near her, watching it power up from the electricity in her
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Cool
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> 6* He pulls it back, watches it die down, then brings it closer, watching it light back up
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Now you listen to me. 6He shifts his hand to tilt her head up so she has to look him in the eye. 1Our connections to others is what defines us. Life can be cruel and you can lose people very close to you, but everyone still lives on through the impact that they make with you. Yes they are gone, and yes it will hurt from time to time, but we have remember them and keep their <cont>
* Ariel resists the urge to smack Caduceus, since he is the best doctor they have.
<Xanatos> spirits alive. In here. 6He points to her chest and then to her head. 1I know it seems like every time you get close you end up losing them, but you can't stop trying, or else there's no point to living. And I need my Athena, so does Isis and everyone else.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleep
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns at Caduceus having a good ol' time. He peers at Megumi when she finishes her work.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> You two should rub against each other to see if you get hair stands on end.
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes the blue knife, returning to to origin form, eyes Caduceus, then just quietly leaves.
* Ariel twitches.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> ... science is always ignored.
<DeathStar> <Athena> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Athena's ears just remain drooped and she looks sad, but she doesn't say anything
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We all love you and we're all here for you. I know it's hard, but you have to promise me you won't stop trying. Do you think you can do that?
<DeathStar> 6* Athena peers down, but then nods
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos lets out a breath and just continues to hold her.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr looks like she wants to, too, but then Caduceus gives her a doctor look, and she shrinks down
<DeathStar> 6* Athena hiccups again, tearing up once more
<Kit> 6Megumi uses the telepad to return to the house, her pace slow, since she isn't sure what to say, herself.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos begins to hum a little lullaby, one that may or may not be familiar to Athena, but Erevis would definitely know it if she were around.
<Kit> 6Megumi heads upstairs, but pauses a bit, hearing it from afar.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena leans against Xanatos, laying mostly across his lap
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos brushes his hand though her hair as he hums, looking slightly ashamed.
<Kit> 6Megumi sneaks over and peeks into the room slowly.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances up slightly to Megumi and gives her a half smile, but doesn't stop humming since it always soothed him when he was younger.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena's eyes look droopy, probably tired out now. She peers up a bit, eyeing Megumi, sniffing and looking like she wants her to come, too
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek slowly reaches out to take Zephyr's hand.
<Kit> 6Megumi jerks, caught, then slowly inches in and sits. She closes her eyes and sings the tones along with it, matching with her ears but not because she knows it, really.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at Drasek.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena finally lulls and falls asleep after a few more hiccups
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Mm. It tingles. I wonder wh-6He begins.
<Kit> 6Megumi slowly stops, peering at Xanatos curiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr narrows her eyes
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I'm just kidding. 6he says with a smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes getting checked out, and heads for 1B as well now.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos stops and peers to Megumi slightly before looking ahead. 1I should probably go.
<DeathStar> 6* She moves into the house, but stops to quietly listen and spy on the two
<Kit> <Megumi> No, you probably should not.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ...I was okay with Sam staying, I feel guilty.
<Kit> <Megumi> You should. It is only natural.
<Kit> 6Megumi closes one eye, hrmphing. 1"Unfortunately, the conscience is something that comes with the territory."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yeah. It'd be nice if it didn't, that's for sure.
<Kit> <Megumi> Sometimes we put up with the things so that others do not have to. Sometimes we decide things, painful things, so that we might do more good than harm.
<Kit> 6Megumi peers at Athena. 1"...From my perspective, you have done more good than harm for the moment."
<Kit> <Megumi> And that is before I take into consideration the events of Legacy.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans against Drasek
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I hope this is all over.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek lets out a breath. 1You and me both, bit. You and me both.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ..thanks Megumi. I really needed that. Huh, I guess we can get along after all.
<Kit> 6Megumi closes both eyes and crosses her arms. 1"Mmm. I am glad to hear that."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Megumi and Xanatos are getting along. 6* She whispers
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek shudders. 1Sure we aint all dead and this is all a dream?
<Kit> <Megumi> You have no idea how difficult it is to keep your feelings low key from a symbiotic alpha.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos considers and takes his free arm to reach out and pull Megumi in for a hug. 1It's kinda nice having someone that close though.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. 6* She twitches once, then sighs, peering as CAd gives her a shot. <Caduceus> That should help.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Needles are so bloody gross. 6He says with a face.
<Kit> 6Megumi pauses once, then returns the hug, resting one hand on Athena. 1"I was not hiding it from her. I just was not ready for her big mouth to go announcing it across CHIP. I told you before I needed time..."
<Kit> <Megumi> And you saw how I dealt with it before. Let alone with the queen of pranks running loose with it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr mysteriously seems to vanish from Megumi's radar in the bond. Meanwhile, Zephyr blanks. "Aaah, I'm mentally deaf."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> She would never hurt you like that. And us, well I think we should focus on the girls first, I'm in no rush.
<Kit> <Megumi> With Athena and Billy around, I supposed she has been demoted to something like second ambassador.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Who's what now? How'd that happen?
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Your entire body is electricified, it's probably affecting the bond, get used to it while this shot corrects your balance.
<Kit> <Megumi> Hm. Seems like she is giving me a break." 6She blinks, then eyes Xanatos, leaning up slowly to kiss him on the cheek. 1"Thank you, for keeping your promise."
<Kit> <Megumi> You can thank yourself later.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr twitches more, looking stoned
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I almost didn't, since Erevis was going to be the one and I didn't think Athena should lose another mom. But I guess it all worked out in the end. I'm too gung ho about all that, I know. It's just hard to think of someone in pain when I could make it different. I guess you should thank me though, you managed to get Erevis because of it. 6His tone is light-hearted.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Huh. You okay bit?
<Kit> 6Megumi narrows her eyes, pinching his cheek and tugging.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos winces. 1O-Ow, Erevis Megumi's hurting me. 6he calls out, knowing she's out there somewhere.
<Kit> <Megumi> Your mind is backwards, Durran. You should stop thinking about all the pain you can prevent by losing your life and start thinking about all the pain you would cause by doing so. Whether you have let it sink in or not, we do care about you.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...it's like...imagine there's always someone there...with you mentally...and they're suddenly gone
<Kit> <Megumi> Most of all, Athena, who considers you her father. Lose a mother, lose a father, there is no difference. They are family.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers in, leaning on the doorway. "She is correct."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yeah. I really do have too much to lose. 6He muses.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And Ao would throw a fit if you were to die.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Sorry bit. But it'll be back soon enough I bet. Until then, just uh, let's do something to take your mind off of it.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Only because she still hasn't beaten me at soccer. 6He notes with a smirk.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Like what? Making out? Mom seems to not being paying attention
<DeathStar> <CHIP> You should just move into this ozne you're so popular with the ladies. Build a house outback behind the pond
<Kit> <Megumi> Why another house?
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Thought I would give the sexual jokes and all that rest since I've been laying it on pretty thick. But if you insist.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, technically Megumi ISN't watching right now... 6* She peers to the side, then leans in to kiss Drasek on the lips
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek smirks and returns the kiss.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> A man needs his own pad to woo the ladies in
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Did Marcus tell you that?
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Yes.
<Kit> <Megumi> Strike it from the record. It only applies to womanizers.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> You should ask him where his man pad is, then.
<Kit> <Megumi> In fact, you should let Katrina know about his advice.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Okay!
<Kit> <Megumi> Nothing will become of it, she just likes to tease him.
<Kit> 6Megumi cat paws to Erevis. 1"Come here, beloved."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe CHIP is cleverly trying to get you to move into the zone so that Ao will move in downstairs and he would have us all in one location to watch. 6* Seh pauses, then approaches.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Hmmm. It's worth a thought. I wonder if the older Erevis would feel awkward coming to this zone often.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis touches Athena's head softly. "She will need to get it over and move on with her life. She has much to live for."
<DeathStar> *get over it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr breaks off the kiss, eyeing Caduceus watching
<Freyja> <Megumi> Frankly I want her to move in, too. If Aonee did..." 6She swoons.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I wonder about all your reasons for that desire, Kitten
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek runs a finger over his lips. 1Could give you a nice one liner about how elecrifying that was.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She smirks, puffing her cheeks.
<Freyja> 6Megumi blinks a few times. 1"Why?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers away, puffing her cheeks. "You probably desire twice the goddess."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I know I do. 6He says non chalantly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks, reddening
<Freyja> <Megumi> Who could deny wanting more of beloved?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos looks amused. 1Me and the other Erevis are bunk buddies. I thought I was making some progress but I think after all of this she might revert back again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... you...are... bunking...buddies?
<Freyja> 6Megumi puffs her cheeks. "1I will not let her. Like Aonee."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits on the other side of Megumi now
<DeathStar> 6* She seems to be tilting her head, clearly using the word wrong
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> She couldn't sleep because of the nightmares and wanted sleeping pills, but I came up with an alternative, she could sleep with me. It was win win, since it helped us both sleep better.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So you now bunk with each other. 6* She appears more amazed than anything
<Freyja> <Megumi> You should both come here. We all sleep well.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Would not the bunking be disturbing?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Bunk is another word for bed. 6He notes to Erevis, then shakes his head slightly to Megumi. 1I dunno yet.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh. ... Bunk. .... Bunk. Bunk. Bunk....Buuunk. Bunkbunk
<Freyja> <Megumi> I will ask her.
<DeathStar> 6* She keeps testing out the word, as she does with every new word she encounters.
<Freyja> 6Megumi eyes Erevis, then leans over and kisses with her, quieting the repetition
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks, shutting up and closing her eyes
<Xanatos> 6Drasek reaches out to pop the cheeks. 1Megumi's infected the world with that mannerism.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Heh. She really has. Well, Ao refuses to do it
<Xanatos> <Drasek> If Name does it, then I know the end is near.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Eww get a room. 6He teases.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans back from the kiss, wrapping an arm around Megumi. "We have many rooms. Which one should we get?"
<Freyja> <Megumi> The one where we kiss him until no longer goes 'ewww'
<DeathStar> 6* She tilts her head at that, then peers at Xanatos. "If you wish to find my older counter part, we can take over watching Athena from here."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr snickers, then peers around, hops off the bed, grabs Drasek's hand, and drags him away from the medical baty.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shakes his head slightly. 1You two go have fun, I kinda like this. 6He motions to Athena on his lap.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers down at Athena on his lap still, her head on Megumi's.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek let's out a whistle as he goes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am glad she has you. She really loves you.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> She's not even blood but I don't think I could love a child anymore. Well, no leaving Isis out either.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She is your child as much as she is ours, in my eyes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... that also means I can defer her to you when she misbehaves.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks completely innocent
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr taps the garden zone, then peers around all the flattened trees.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos chuckles. 1That's fine, it's the father's role to enforce punishments genrally.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody hell it looks like a lumberjack convention rolled through here.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> They weren't kidding about Theron fighting a giant worm singlehandedly.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Bet I coulda took it down. 6He sniffs proudly.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah? You should fight with Theron, then. See if you can beat him.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Think you just want to see me sweaty and cut up.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. That sounds fair to me.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr cups her hands together. "But nothing turns on a girl more than that, right?"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I thought muscians did. Hell why you think I even started playin? 6He smiles.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well.... That's.... you know. Nice after the sweat and blood.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I see how it is. Guess I'm gonna have to start a fight club to keep you interested.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Oh I bet. You get to be the good guy.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr winks, then looks around, leading Drasek along to a wooded area with a pond.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mmhm. I believe she likes you two better simply because you both spoil her
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes MEgumi and Xanatos
<Freyja> <Megumi> I also scold and spank her when she is inappropriate." 6her head tilts
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mmmmhmmm.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well I can't say anything. I fold easily.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Just where are you taking me, bit?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Somewhere quiet. Everyone's back at the house.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I like quiet.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis smiles softly, reaching over to pick up the book of Athena pictures, peering at them quietly. She looks torn about what to do with it
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Keep it. It'll be good for her to remember her by. 6He notes.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "Yes...I kept many of your belongings as well to remember you."
* Sammael is now known as Seraphna
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Luckily you just need say, "Hey Xan come here." Because I won't be very far.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Indeed. I am glad for that
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Yeah. Me too. It's nice being alive. 6He smiles.
<DeathStar> -END-
