<DeathStar> Stardate: Shortly after last episode
<DeathStar> Location: Shuttle; Entering Space After Leaving the Dragoon Planet
* Xanatos`Durran positions the shuttle to head for the jump gate.
* Ry` is sitting down, looking out the nearest window. 14"Hmm, I think I need Anti depressants after that..."
<DeathStar> 6* After saying goodbye to Darien's group, Xanatos has begun them back on their journey to the jump gate. It appears, at least for Ry'oskay, this trip has been uneventful. Warren sits in his co-pilot seat, wearing his trench coat and black clothing.
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* Slasher 's full attention is on his datapad as he works on something
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle flies closer and closer toward the ancient jump gate, their coordinates already set into the nav. computer. Another minute and they'll be on a several hour trip back home.
* Shiva stretches out as she drums her fingerson the arm rest as time flies by.
* Xanatos`Durran releases a yawn as he stares aheaad.
<DeathStar> 6* Getting closer...
<Ry`> 2Leans back against his seat, closing his eyes. He figured it would be on the most part uneventful and full of history lessons, but he found it to be worth a shot regardless.
* Jackieness is now known as Arhn
* Slasher taps his finger on the edge of his datapad as he pauses to think.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a wall of black appears before them, blocking out all they can see. No...not a wall of black. It's a battlecruiser. A Tsivrixsh battle cruiser - and it just jumped between them and the gate.
* Xanatos`Durran pulls hard on the controls slowing the shuttle as it moves forward. He makes sure to put up the shield and he prepares to perform evasive manuevers.
* Cassandra_Arakawa has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle doesn't move an inch.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans forward, his eyes narrowing as he realizes the situation they've gotten into a mere minute before leaving. "Dammit..."
* Slasher looks up. 1"What's going on, sir?"
* Xanatos`Durran releases a sigh. "Tsiv." He tries to steer the shuttle away.
* Ry` heard something, and opened his eyes..glancing upon the Tsivrixsh battle cruiser. 14"Hm.."
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle continues to move forward, as if some unseen hand is drawing it closer to the cruiser.
* Shiva perks up, an almost nervous look on her face. 1"The Tsiv?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans forward, eyeing the size of the battle cruiser - the Tsivrixsh war symbols are proudly displayed on the sides.
<Xanatos`Durran> They are pulling us in. *he finally deduces*
<Ry`> 14"Were they expecting to see us here?"
* Slasher quickly places his datapad in a pouch on his chest. 1"This isn't good. What are our orders sir?"
* Xanatos`Durran fiddle with the controls, attempting to break their tractor beam control.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I believe we're about to find out. 6He says to Ry, leaning back. He shakes his head to Slasher.
<DeathStar> 6* A part of the cruiser's side begins to move up, revealing a hanger. The shuttle begins to move toward it - already, they can see 5 dozen Tsivrixshs standing there at attention - and awaiting them
<Slasher> 60 of them...We're easily out numbered.
<Ry`> 14"..Safe to say we are captured.."
<DeathStar> <Warren> It would appear so.
* Xanatos`Durran frowns, "Can't break the tractor beam either." He tries still, not wanting to give up.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle just whines and threatens to overload the engines.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs once again. "That was one risky jump too..."
<Ry`> 2Looks around the shuttle, wishing these things had hidden compartments.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Very risky. They were expecting us.
<DeathStar> <Warren> And I would imagine the captain of this ship has some reason for placing a cruiser in danger of being hit by a shuttle upon arrival in normal space, since their shields take a few seconds to come online.
<Slasher> It would have to be Xevil then no doubt.
<Ry`> 14"..." 2That brought him into silence
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rubs the lower part of his face, glancing at Ry. Could Xevil's hate for him go so deep?
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle passes through the hanger barriers and shields, landing in front of the 60 Tsivrixshs, clad in armor and awaiting them.
* `Kane has joined #taw
<Slasher> Ry, I strongly advise you keep your cool.
* `Kane has left #taw
<Ry`> 14"..I am still sitting here arn't I..."
<Slasher> We'll see how long that lasts.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren unbuckles himself from his seat, standing up and moving to the back of their shuttle.
* Slasher moves to the back with Warren, concern on his face.
* Xanatos`Durran releases the controls in defeat and unbuckles himself, standing and moving slowly he walks to the back behind Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at the others. "Our number one job is to protect Ambassador Sevintes. All other things - including honor grudge matches - are secondary.
<Shiva> My own personal escorts. How I love such attention.
<Slasher> We can atleast assume they don't want us dead...yet.
<Ry`> 14"..." 2Ry got to his feet, following Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at her. "PAX cannot afford to have you harmed at this point. Everyone else is secondary to this."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hits the shuttle ramp, opening it up. He walks down the ramp, turning to face their 60 armed welcoming crew.
* Shiva stands up and makes her way to the back of the shuttle
* Slasher steps down the shuttle ramp, his eyes quickly scanning the guards assessing them
* Xanatos`Durran steps down after Warren, he eyes the Tsivs. But he shows no facial expressions.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards hold their weapons, ready at a second's notice to blast them away. If any of them try anything - all will likely die.
<Xanatos`Durran> <Skaad> Stands proudly before the other Tsiv soldiers. He is just aching to have the troops end this once and for all. A smug look is plastered to his face.
* Shiva steps down the ramp, her hands behind her back as she steps onto the hanger floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren notes Skaad. The lapdop of Xevil.
<Shiva> NRP: Did he just narrate what he was doing?
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL
<DeathStar> NRP: <Warren> I see. .... *he eyes Skaad*
* Ry` steps down likely last, staring with those merciless eyes toward Skaad and the other 60 soldiers.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Forgot the **
<DeathStar> 6* 60 pairs of red eyes look at them. They seem like eerie demons almost.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Bravo. Bravo. 6He claps his hands, a very human gesture as he steps out, moving to stand in front of Skaad.
<Shiva> I didn't know I was this famous...*she lets out a forced light chuckle*
<Ry`> 14"..Xevil.."
* Ariel is now known as Charlie`Snow
* Slasher turns his head towards Ry, his eyes narrowing.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> The elusive peacemakers of the galaxy stand before me on my ship. What an honor. 6He says, gesturing about with his hands. "It's a shame the blue ambassador cannot be here. I would have liked some quality time with her."
* Xanatos`Durran crosses his arms and frowns lightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren frowns, keeping his left hand visible by his side, the other one shoved in his pocket.
* Slasher leans in next to Warren, his lips moving barely.
<Xanatos`Durran> <Skaad> *Grins a toothy grin, sharing in this moment with Xevil.*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's head barely nods. He stares straight at Xevil, letting the Tsivrixsh do his little talking.
<Ry`> 2Closed his eyes yet again, as if doing everything in his power to contain himself.
* Slasher focuses his attention back on Xevil, studying him
<DeathStar> <Xevil> I hear she befell some trouble a few weeks ago. Shocking, really...how easily one can be plucked from the stars and held captive. ... it could happen again and again. 6He notes sympathically, glancing at Skaad as if he were to share in the false sympathy.
<Xanatos`Durran> <Skaad> *feigns a frown, but it is pretty hhard for him to hide his smile*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren closes his eyes, listening to the slight snickering from some of the Tsivrixsh in the room. Of course - it all comes down to honor.
<DeathStar> 6* All the red eyes seem to be staring at Ry, as if mocking him in silence.
<Ry`> 2Lets off a sly smirk, 14"It's a pity my sword didn't pierce your voice box..you're talking makes my ears hurt."
* Slasher 's body tenses up at Ry speaks.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs and places a hand onto his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil smiles, showing his teeth. He seems pleased. "Just what I would expect from a Erusian dog."
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil marches in front of them, a red cloak fluttering behind him. "You are all my prisoners - as well as prisoners of the Tsivrixsh Empire now."
<Xanatos`Durran> <Skaad> *Raises his arm, waiting to give the signal to arrest them.*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Your prisoners...? 6He states dubiously.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Yes. You are trespassing in Tsivrixsh military space and by law you shall be held accountable for your defiance.
* Shiva crosses her arms, obviously not ok with the situation
<Shiva> I'm just going to go back on the shuttle then....
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Really? You think I'll allow you to do that?
<Shiva> No...But it was worth a try.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> If you make a move toward that piece of junk, I will blast it to vapor dust.
* Ry` places his hands behind his back, wearing that scowl like a favorite T-shirt.
<Xanatos`Durran> Piece of junk? *he narrows his eye*
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Did I hit a nerve, ugly human? 6He asks with mock concern.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles at Xevil. "A whole mess of them."
<Shiva> Atleast be and the lizard thing both agree on one thing Durran.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Wonderful. 6He looks at them all. "Unless you all have something you wish to say in your defense, I believe I shall allow you to rot in prison for the rest of your lives."
* Slasher eyes Warren, wondering if he has anything up his sleeve.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs. Ignoring Shiva. Wondering what he has got himself into.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren says nothing, clearly aware of the trouble that could have occurred if they were caught here. He merely looks relaxed.
<Ry`> 14"Well if that's the case..I want to say one thing..you're hideous, a disgusting shell of a Tsiv that lost what he has, and have breath that could kill even the most revolting of creatures..."
<DeathStar> <Xevil> How utterly droll. Move them. 6He orders Skaad.
<Xanatos`Durran> <Skaad> *Nods and lets his hand drop*
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, everyone is staring into a blindingly white light, then they find themselves in a new room with a barrier around them and a Tsivrixsh guard standing on the other side. They have lost all their weapons - or anything that can be used as a weapon.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances around him, wearing everything but his trench coat now. He frowns. "Teleportation. Effective."
* Slasher shakes his head and looks around.
<Ry`> 14"See you soon.." 2He managed to speak out, before getting teleported. Ry looks slowly around the room, examing each detail closely.
<DeathStar> 6* The room is plain. There's a door behind the guard, but with an electric barrier between them and the guard, they can't reach it.
<Slasher> Quite the pickle we're in.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard has a gun, and a communication device - and there's a second one on a table to his right. It seems that it might work like their comms.
* Shiva looks around. 1"Atleast I'm not stripped down in my skivvies.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hm. 6He moves about, glancing at the barrier.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard chuckles, looking at a picture. He says something in Tsivrixsh.
* Xanatos`Durran scratches his shoulder as he spins around in a slow circle, observing the room.
* Ry` moves to the barrier himself, staring at each of the guards..along with the electric fence.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard holds up a picture of Arhn in her bra and panties. He points at it and says something in Tsivrixsh. It's probably not pleasant.
<Slasher> So Durran, do you think there's a lot of honor in guarding prisoners of war?
* Xanatos`Durran laughs, "There would be more honor in cleaning the toilet."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren manages to swing his right hand into the barrier, causing a spark. He glances at it, seeing it's slightly red now.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard goes back to admiring the picture.
<Ry`> 14"How disgusting, forced to look at pictures..since you cannot even get one of the opposite sex to look at you..you must be quite ugly to the rest of your race"
* Xanatos`Durran arches a brow at the picture. "Hey, who is that in that picture?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Ambassador Arhnya. 6He says softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at the electric barrier running into the wall, the floor, and the ceiling. He frowns, thinking to himself.
* Xanatos`Durran tries to get the Tsivs attention. "Hey! Can I see that? I've been dying to get some good candid shots of her."
<Ry`> NRP: *Snickers, oh yeah..that'll work*
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh doesn't seem to understand him - or care what he has to say.
* Xanatos`Durran frowns, "Anyone speak tsiv?"
<Ry`> 2Moves over to a wall, tapping on it with his hand. He wanted to see how solid it proved to be, and if wires might be inside.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's not a language spoken much outside the Tsivrixsh. That way they can speak about others.
<DeathStar> 6* The wall appears fairly solid, but one can never tell until one really smashes through it.
* Xanatos`Durran frowns and glances at Shiva. "Why don't you show him your boobs?"
<Slasher> I doubt that'll work.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Durran and his plan of escape.
<Shiva> I agree on that, I highly doubt he's intersted in my boobs.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles, "Maybe I just wanted to see some boobs. Lord knows we might be here for a while."
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh watches them, looking bored.
* Ry` delivers a hard blow to the wall, wanting to test it's durablity. Sure it might hurt like hell, but he didn't care at this moment.
<DeathStar> 6* The wall chips away very slightly, due to Ry's unusual strength. Suddenly, a tazer blast from the electric barrier hits him with enough of a blow to throw him into the wall.
<Shiva> So much for your love for Kat.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well. It appears they do not like you doing that. 6He notes dryly to Ry.
* Slasher eyes the commique on the table, trying to judge it's distance.
<DeathStar> 6* It's about 15 feet away from the electric barrier.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes Shiva. "So much for you ability to take jokes." There seems a dry taste from his words. Durran sits down crosslegged and just eyes the guard.
* Ry` gets thrown into a wall, groaning slightly. He forced himself to his feet slowly, glancing around. 14"So it seems.."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren motions for Slasher to walk beside Ry.
* Slasher turns stretching, he begins to walk beside Ry.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren motions Durran to the chip in the wall, then makes a punch motion.
* Shiva crosses her arms as she looks around.
* Ry` stops his gaze on Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there, obviously not moving until Durran does. He stands there, looking bored.
* Xanatos`Durran stands and moves over stepping in front of Slasher and Ry, he turns around and stretches his hand out, leaning against the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns and moves over to Slasher and Ry now, leaning forward toward them.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I believe the currents for the barrier run through the floor. 6He whispers. "It would put the least amount of strain on the shields to do it."
<DeathStar> 6* The guard eyes Xan, then seems to be turning his attention to the three behind him, like he's suspicious.
<Slasher> Understood.
<Ry`> 14"..I see"
<DeathStar> <Warren> The guard is watching. We can't move until his attention is redirected. 6He says, not turning to look around. Hopefully the distraction will begin soon.
* Xanatos`Durran stretches his arms out and yawns.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard is fully focused on the three behind Ry now.
<DeathStar> NRP: Er, Xan
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there, looking at nothing in particular.
* Xanatos`Durran crosses his arms and stares up at the ceiling..
* Ry` speaks in the Erusian language, insults more then likely guided at the guards.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren realizes the plan went right over Durran's head, but he can't afford to tell him now with the guard watching.
* Slasher places his hands behind his head as he stares at teh cieling
* Xanatos`Durran turns quickly and slams his fist into the wall where it is chipped.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Now.
<DeathStar> 6* The electric barrier fires at Xanatos, who stands between it and those behind him.
* Slasher spins around and slams his fist into the floor
* Ry` snaps his fist backwards, attempting to rip it into the floor with all his might. He tries to rip out anything inside
<DeathStar> 6* The floor begins to rip apart, revealing a huge, thick wire beneath it.
* Xanatos`Durran crosses his arms to take the hit.
<DeathStar> 6* Durran is hit, being slid into Warren who holds out his hand to prop him up from falling. A second charge flies at Xan.
* Slasher grabs onto the thick wire and begins to pull it up, in an attempt ot rip it out of something.
<DeathStar> 6* Electricity begins to course through Slasher's body as the shield flickers on and off.
* Ry` grabs a piece of metal from the floor, and attempts to toss it into the coord..and sever the electricity.
<Ry`> *cord*
* Slasher entire face begins to twitch as he struggles to take the surge
* Xanatos`Durran hisses, "This really hurts Warren." He just holds himself in place as his arm hair lets off a dingy burnt smell.
<DeathStar> 6* The metal hits the cord, cutting the cord in half and sending electricity flying in a sparking arc up in front of Slasher. The shield drops.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh guard aims his rifle at them.
* Ry` snaps his hands around, picking up two other shards. He lets them fly at the guards, trying to lodge them into their foreheads.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard falls over, obviously dead. Warren moves quickly, grabbing the rifle from his dead hands, then grabbing the communicator device and sliding it on over his head like a comm. set.
* Slasher slides back, dropping the wire, in seconds he drops ot his knees as he tries to regain his breath.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren points at the other one. "Someone get that one." 6He orders as he cycles through to an empty channel.
* Ry` moves over to the other communication device, picking it up
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his arms, they are a shade of red and all of his hair is gone on them.
* Shiva walks over to Slasher and kneels down, putting an arm around him. 1"You ok tiger?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> How is everyone 6He asks, glancing at Durran and Slasher.
<Slasher> Like I got hit with a 10 pound sledgehammer...*he pushes himself up, his left hand clenching, the knuckles swollen and red.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Good, then you should live. 6He notes dryly.
* Xanatos`Durran shakes his head, "I lost the hair on my arm.."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just eyes Durran.
<Ry`> 14"You needed a shave there anyway.."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Alright, here's the plan, everyone.
* Shiva stands up and looks at Durran. 1"You're hairline's next to fall out."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Our number one priority is to get off the station, however with the engine room operational, we'll be snatched from the air the second we try to leave. Which is why you all will be heading to the hanger to get to the shuttle and I will be damaging the engine room enough that the shuttle can leave without being caught again.
<DeathStar> (the ship)
<Ry`> 14"So..you plan on staying behind?"
<Xanatos`Durran> Your hair will turn gray long before that. *he smiles at her casually*
* Slasher takes in a deep breathe, he eyes Warren. 1"That's suicide.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Warren. "Ry is more capable than any of us."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shakes his head. "The fact is we have too little time to all go to the engine room and to all go back to the hanger. We need Durran to fly, we need Ry'oskay's strength to protect the ambassador since Slasher's hurt, and we need Slasher to protect Shiva in case Ry is held up."
<Shiva> He's right Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm sorry, Durran, but you can't fight a Tsivrixsh if you run into them without your guns.
* Xanatos`Durran frowns, "You have a point."
* Ry` looks around for a weapons locker, they might stash the weapons in.
<Slasher> I'm fine, sir. My hand's just sore.
<DeathStar> 6* There is no weapons locker.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs. "Shame that guard didn't have a backup pistol."
<DeathStar> <Warren> The point is if you run into more than one Tsivrixsh, you'll both be needed. Ry'oskay is vital to your survival and you need to stick with the Ambassador to protect her."
* Ry` dislodges the shard from the Tsivs head, bending it in such a way that it would make it a home made knife.
* Slasher looks into Warren's eyes, studying him deeply. 1"Are you sure sir?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances around, not seeing cameras, but knowing there's probably a siege of Tsivrixshs moving their way. "It's time for you to all go. You'll all provide enough distracting being a large group that I can get by undetected."
<DeathStar> (distraction)
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Slasher, nodding once.
* Slasher nods in return, fully knowing what the outcome can be. 1"Come back to us alive sir.
<Ry`> 14"..." 2Moves over to the door, to open it.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It is my aim.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens, revealing a hallway. It's empty - for now. But the longer they talk, the more chance of them never getting out alive.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Now go. Ry'oskay will take point.
<Slasher> Let's go Ambassador.
<Slasher> I'll take rear, Xan, take post infront of the Ambassador.
* Ry` begins to run down the hallway, at full speed. He glances from side to side, trying to pinpoint hallways and hidden surprises.
* Xanatos`Durran nods and moves after ry.
* Shiva looks at Warren with concern then lowers her head running out behind Xan.
* Slasher salutes Warren then turns, following behind Shiva.
<DeathStar> 6* The hallway passes several doors that are probably other cell rooms. At the end of the hall they come to what appears to be an elevator, or they could take a hallway to the left to what appears to be a solitary door that might be stairs.
<Ry`> 14"Take the stairs..they will be counting on the elevator..it's faster" 2He moves to the solitary door, opening it
* Xanatos`Durran nods and moves behind Ry, he glances at Slasher and Shiva.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens, revealing indeed what is stairs. This entire ship appears to have black walls, making it appear like they're in a dark, hellish hole.
* Shiva takes a left after Xan, her pace not slowing down
* Ry` tries to get a pinpoint on the hangar location, but he starts moving up while doing it..assuming they are likely at the bottom.
<DeathStar> 6* Alarms are going off suddenly. It seems they've been noticed not to be in their cell.
* Slasher clenches his left fist again, a small flash of pain appears on his face, he then turns down to the left.
* Xanatos`Durran glances up at the alarms, "Shit." He sighs.
<Slasher> NRP: So we're going upto to get to the bottom?
<DeathStar> 6* As Ry moves up five floors, he can hear footsteps coming ten floors up. Tsivrixsh guards are coming down, meaning he has ten flights of stairs between him and thgem.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: He assumed we were on the bottom so he is going up.
<Ry`> NRP: Going up from the bottom, to up
<Slasher> NRP: Ah now I read it right
* Ry` hears the foot steps, and tries to open the nearest door.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens, revealing what appears to be soldier quarters.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Wow.
<DeathStar> 6* The hallway extends someways with soldier rooms on either side, with an elevator at the back of the hallway.
<Ry`> 2..With soldiers in them ? Lol
<DeathStar> 6* The doors are shut - who knows if soldiers are in there.
* Xanatos`Durran keeps his voice low. "Make a break for it."
<Ry`> 14"We should wait until the guards pass down.."
<DeathStar> 6* They're seven flights above them now.
<Slasher> Hurry now.
* Ry` slips into the hallway
<DeathStar> 6* Five flights.
* Xanatos`Durran moves in as well.
* Ry` heads toward the elevator..hell with it
* Shiva moves in behind Xan.
* Slasher steps in, shutting the door quietly behind him
<DeathStar> 6* The doors shuts behind them as they enter the hallway. The soldiers move pass the door, heading down to the cells without noticing them.
<Ry`> 14"How is it? *He whispers*
<Slasher> They've passed.
<DeathStar> 6* Three flights below them. Five flights. Out of hearing range now.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Ry, halfway down the hall. He motions for the stairs again.
<Ry`> 14"..let's go now.." 2He heads back into the staircase, and right on up.
* Xanatos`Durran follows Ry.
* Shiva steps out behind them and heads up the stairs
<DeathStar> 6* As they move up, they claim another five flights. They appear to be almost half-way up the ship, judging by the stairs above and below them now.
* Slasher heads back in to the stairwell, once again shutting the door again, he then heads up the stairs
<Ry`> 14"Anyone wouldn't happen to know the floor the hangars on would they?"
<Slasher> I believe there were mid-level.
<Slasher> NRP: They were
<Ry`> 14"Most sensible.." 2He opens the door upon the mid level, peeking into the hallway from the darkness of the stairwell.
<DeathStar> 6* This floor seems to be the floor where storage is kept. Not the hanger, but probably close.
* Ry` moves on to the next door, opening it.
* Xanatos`Durran keeps his ears on alert, waiting for one wrong noise.
* Slasher eyes the storage room, thinking.
<Xanatos`Durran> Hmmm wouldn't there be weapons in storage?
<DeathStar> 6* It's a hallway, but it appears to have no extra doors. It would seem it's heading outward, if they are in the center of the ship - which could indicate it leads to a hanger. But is it the hanger they landed in?
<Shiva> We need to hurry.
<Ry`> 14"Yes..but would we need to waste time getting weapons?"
* Ry` slips into the hangar hallway, approaching the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Tsivrixshs can be heard 15 floors below them - they seem to realize they got past them somehow.
<Xanatos`Durran> ...Would you rather fight unarmed?
* Xanatos`Durran perks his ear. "Who cares, lets just go."
<Ry`> 14"..hear that? It's them"
<DeathStar> 6* As Ry walks down the hallway, he would indeed see a large, closed hanger door with two small windows. If he peers in, he could see if it's their hanger.
* Shiva heads in behind Durran.
* Ry` looks into one of the windows, spotting guards and ships alike..if any
* Slasher leaves the storage door slightly open and he heads into the other doorway, shutting the door behind him.
<DeathStar> 6* This is it. Their hanger. However, there appears to be no guards in here.
* Ry` opens the door, heading toward their ship.
<DeathStar> 6* Their shuttle sits unmolested far to the back of the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* When the door opens, out of a blind spot, a blue fist hits him in the side of the head.
* Shiva sprints down the hallway, her steps light as she approaches Xan and Ry.
* Xanatos`Durran quirks his eye at Ry. Xanatos dives into the room, rolling to his feet.
* Slasher sprints down the hallway when he hears the sound of someone geting hit.
* Ry` gets nailed with the fist, sprawling against the wall. Quickly his free hand raised, attempting to throw the Tsi into the hallway by grabbing him.
<DeathStar> 6* A Tsivrixsh battle guard, probably low ranking to have hanger duty, stands there with an Xvash, an axe like mace. He stands over Ry. Behind him, in a barrier field, is all of their weapons, including Warren's trench coat and gun.
* Shiva slides against the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* The battle guard dodges Ry's attempt.
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh Hanger Guard> .... 6He speaks in Tsivrixsh, swinging the xvash around. He seems to be fully capable for battle.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes the weapons then looks at Ry.
* Ry` flips up to his feet, approaching the guard with all his speed. The knife gleams in his hand, trying to strike into his face. But he would expect the guard to dodge and follow up, causing him to feint and pull back. He responded to the next actions quickly, moving into the blind spot after taking an evasive roll, trying to stab him in the gut and disarm him.
* Shiva runs into the hanger, keeping her distance away from the tsiv.
* Slasher sprints into the hanger and runs to the Tsiv's side, trying to keep his attention sepearted
<DeathStar> 6* The guard actually does not follow up and merely dodges, not getting near Ry for any further actions. He's seem to be testing Ry's strength and speed.
<Ry`> 14"You guys go ahead..I got this one.." 2He said in a low crouching stance, moving around the guard, and flipping the knife in his hand.
* Xanatos`Durran glances around andn looks for someway to turn the barrier off so they can get their stuff.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard eyes the others, then swings the xvash at Ry's head in a horizontal arc, but doesn't move in close enough to actually leave himself open for attack. He's very cautious.
* Shiva sprints towards the shuttle.
* Slasher sprints around and behind the Guard, covering Shiva's rear
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be a keyslot of some sort in the base of the barrier.
* Shiva stops outside of the shuttle.
* Ry` dashes inwards, quickly snapping his feet off the ground..and rolling to the side of the Tsi's attack. One hand snapped outwards, trying to wrap around the hand that is holding the weapon.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh's hand is grabbed, which he responds with a side kick toward Ry's ribs, hoping to beat him off.
<Xanatos`Durran> We need a key card. *he says quickly*
<DeathStar> 6* The keycard is on the guard, it would appear.
<Xanatos`Durran> That keycard. *he points to it*
* Slasher steps onto the shuttle, checking it out first.
* Slasher runs back out. 1"It's clear Shiva, get in."
<Shiva> But...
* Ry` is hit in the ribs, causing his other hand to snap downwards. It would wrap around the ankle of his attack, knife still in hand as he locks him place. He manuevers upon his feet, attempting to slam the warrior violently against the wall. If successful, his arm snapped upwards..trying to break the leg.
<Slasher> Get in now. *his voice changes to a very stern one*
<DeathStar> 6* Ry's comm. set crackles. "I'm at the engines. You can leave now."
* Shiva runs into the shuttle.
* Slasher sprints across the hanger, heading staright towards the Tsiv.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh is slammed into the wall, but the leg doesn't quite break. The guard howls in pain, though. He tries to punch at Ry to get him off.
* Xanatos`Durran cracks his knuckles and looks around for something large that he could bash the tsiv with.
<DeathStar> 6* There's tools laying about the place to work on the shuttles.
* Slasher maneuvers in an arc and comes up on the Tsiv's side.
* Ry` is also punched, but his relentless attitude forced him to only move forward. He tosses his legs aside, and swung his knife to the front, trying to cut across the Tsi's stomach.
<Ry`> 14"Do not interfere!"
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh moves his xvash to block the knife, sliding along the wall to try to put distance between him and the crazy Erusian.
* Xanatos`Durran picks up the largest one he can carry, "We need the keycard!"
<Slasher> We don't have time for this. *leaps onto a bench and pushes off it, spin kicking at the Tsiv as it backs away.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh is kicked, thinking this was an honor battle with Ry. He looks outraged at this lack of honor.
* Xanatos`Durran lobs the large wrench for the Tsiv's head.
* Ry` glances at Slasher also, growling. 14"Back off..! You might not understand..but theres the damn shuttle..get inside of it!"
* Slasher lands on the ground and throws a punch with his right hand towards the tsiv's jaw.
<Slasher> I understand fully, but this is not the place for a battle of honour.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh is punched. It swings the xvash at --- it gets hit by Durran, falling to a knee.
* Slasher grabs the Tsiv's head and rams his knee into it's face.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh howls in outrage, grabbing Slasher as it tries to shake him like a doll
* Xanatos`Durran picks up another wrench and dashes forward.
* Slasher body whips around until he wraps his left arm around the arm grabbing onto him holds on tight, he then begisn to throw his other elbow towards the Tsiv's face.
<Ry`> 2Ry twitched violently, he could no longer participate in this.
<DeathStar> 6* The keycard hits the floor during all this.
<Ry`> 14"..get the keycard and your weapons"
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh tosses Slasher across the room.
* Xanatos`Durran slides to a halt and picks up the keycard, he glances at Slasher and whistles before he lobs the wrench toward the Tsiv. He would then run toward the weapons.
* Slasher slams into the ground and slides across it.
<DeathStar> 6* The staircase door busts in and dozens of Tsivrixsh rush down the hallway toward the hanger.
* Shiva slides to the pilots seat and begins to power up the shuttle.
* Slasher pushes himself up with his right hand, obviously favoring it and he begins to back up towards the shuttle.
* Xanatos`Durran puts the keycard in the slot.
* Ry` grabs the wrench with his free hand. One leg moved to the mace, and he slide it to the Tsi's feet...as if wanting him to pick it up. But alas, the Tsi force him to back off into the hangar
<DeathStar> 6* The barrier drops.
* Xanatos`Durran grabs the weapons and moves for the shuttle.
* Slasher steps into the shuttle.
* Ry` moves after them, looking back regrettfully. He grabbed his Weapons, and went after them.
* Xanatos`Durran slides up the ramp and drops the mess of weapons, he grabs his beam sabers and attaches them to his belth, then he grabbed his pistols and moved down the ramp, firing at the Tsiv. Trying to buy some time.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh begin to rush into the hanger. They're going to blast the shuttle it seems.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship suddenly shakes violently from an explosion.
* Slasher hops into the co-pilots seat and begins to lift the shuttle up
<Slasher> DURRAN YOU IDIOT GET BACK ON HERE NOW!
* Ry` leaps onto the ramp, closing it once everyones on.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh begin to fire on the shuttle and on Xanatos as he valiently fires back at them.
* Xanatos`Durran curses and dashes back up into the shuttle. Her curses.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP:he*
<Xanatos`Durran> Let's go!
<Ry`> NRP: She male
* Slasher powers the shields up and fires the lasers at several of the other ships as he heads out.
* Xanatos`Durran closes the ramp as they move.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttles explode in the hanger, driving the Tsivrixsh back. The barriers appear to be down now so they can move through them
<Xanatos`Durran> We can't leave Warren....
* Slasher doesn't hesitate and full throttles the ship out of the hanger. 1"He said he'll be fine.
<DeathStar> 6* As the shuttle leaves the cruiser, the engines seem to have been exploded - fire is gushing into space and being quelled by lack of oxygen. It appears the cruiser can't chase them --- but that won't stop the guns from shooting them if they don't get to the jump gate immediately.
<Ry`> 14"What he said and what will happen are two different concepts.." 2Ry was needless to say, pissed.
<DeathStar> 6* A voice comes over Ry's comm. <Xevil> You cannot run from my, Erusian dog.
* Slasher begins to spiral the shuttle towards the gate, his good hand entering in the coordinates.
<Shiva> *a sad look appears on her face as they leave Warren behind*
<Ry`> 2He places his hand against the comm, speaking into it. 14"Run? No it's not in my blood, you will see me again..and my face will be the last thing you see.."
<DeathStar> <Xevil> You speak big. Yet you honorlessly leave your comrade in my hands.
* Xanatos`Durran slams his fist against the wall, he curses onoce again and moves towards the front of the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* They are 15 seconds from the jump gate, which is activating to let them through.
* Slasher hand begins to hesitate.
<DeathStar> 6* The cruiser weapons begin to come online.
<Ry`> 14"It was his choice to do so, I must respect that"
<DeathStar> <Xevil> I will send you his servered head as a gift, then.
<Xanatos`Durran> We have to save him....*he shakes his head*
<Xanatos`Durran> He'd do the same for us.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Maybe. :P
<DeathStar> 6* They're at the jump gate --- will they pass through?
* Slasher reorientates the ship, to jump properly.
<DeathStar> 6* The cruiser weapons begin to target the shuttle
<Ry`> 2A twitch is seen on his lip. 14"But if you did that, you wouldn't be able to properly finish things between us. Now who lacks honor..but perhaps you lost that back on the water planet"
<DeathStar> <Xevil> We shall see. Your governments cannot come back here without risking war, since you trespassed to begin with. I am free to do whatever I please -- and honor is on my side. We will meet again...if you are foolish enough to come back into my empire's lands.
* Slasher enters the jumpgate.
<Ry`> 14"If I come back..it won't be under the Erusian flag" 2He clicked off
<DeathStar> 6* The comm. link goes dead since it's out of range now.
<Ry`> NRP: Hah..got that in before it did!
<DeathStar> 6* And so....hours pass.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle emerges back in Sol space.
* Cassandra_Arakawa currently overseeing the disposal of several kegs from the Engineering Kegger that she just raided.
* Slasher heads the shuttle towards the PAX Station.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle lands in the PAX Station, the clearance codes all accepted.
* Slasher lowers the ramp and he powers the shuttle down.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...hmmm? *looks at her datapad* They're back. Finish up here. *heads for the hangar*
* Slasher stands up, a defeated look flashes on his face and he makes his way off the shuttle.
* Arhn also on her way to the hangar...
* Ry` gets up, walking off without a word.
* Xanatos`Durran just sits there in the pilots seat.
* Slasher pulls out his datapad and begins typing something on it.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Lt. Arakawa, current commanding officer is here to welcome you back. *salutes them* ...where is the captain?
<Slasher> We were capturedby a Tsiv Battle Cruiser. In the process of our escape....He stayed behind.
* Ry` passes Arhn in the hallway, no seeming to respond to her.
<Slasher> If it wasn't for the Captains actions, we would've had troubles escaping.
<Arhn> Ry?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ... ... ...what?!
* Ry` stopped hearing his named, slowly his half turned. His voice screamed with irritation 14"What.."
<Arhn> ...what happened?
<Slasher> Our vacation led us into Tsiv. Territory. They caught us and towed us aboard. We escaped by only because the Captain stayed behind.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> So he's a prisoner?! This was the stupidest...gah!
* Xanatos`Durran stands and moves off of the shuttle, he moves past Cassandra and heads for the security office.
<Ry`> 14"Find out from Slasher or Durran" 2Ry continued walking
<DeathStar> NRP: He's mad at Slasher and Durran for stealing his kill. Erusians need their kills.
<Arhn> ...very well.
* Slasher crosses his arm. 1"I need to make an official report"
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the office and moves over the comms, he clicks a few buttons, callinig for Darien.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...this is not good...
<Ry`> 14"But Warren was captured again..figured you'd like to know.." 2With that he turned a corner
<Slasher> No it
<DeathStar> 6* Darien appears on the screen. "You people sure get together to call me..." 6He says, holding a datapad in his head.
<DeathStar> (should, not sure)
<Slasher> No it's not. Our hands are literally tied here. We trespassed....
<Slasher> NRP: hand not head?
<DeathStar> NRP: Shh
* Shiva steps off the shuttle making her way to her room, a solemn look on her face
* Xanatos`Durran arches a brow, "You people?"?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Slasher just sent me a message not even two minutes ago.
<Arhn> ... *runs for the security office*
* Xanatos`Durran eyes Darien. "So what are we going to do?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> The fact is nothing can be done. If any of you - or anyone related to PAX or Earth or anything - goes against the Tsivrixsh, you could tear the galaxy into a war. I'll use my connections to hunt for him, but for now --- nothing can be done."
* Xanatos`Durran frowns, "That wasn't what I wanted to hear." He sighs.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I know that. Which is why when I gave Warren the invite, I didn't expect so many of you to show up. This wasn't exactly a safe trip.
<Ry`> 14"Now the station is left leaderless.." 2Stopped against a wall, leaning against it.
<Xanatos`Durran> I know. *he sighs again* Well, keep me posted. I have to get into contact with the "higher" ups.
* Slasher makes his way to the security office.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You do. The fact is you're going to be in charge until they pick a new leader. And they will do it before you have a chance to process what happened.
* Cassandra_Arakawa sits at her console and tries to see if Warrren left any orders in case he was killed or went MIA.
* Xanatos`Durran nods. "Take it easy Darien."
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be no orders - their marching orders will be coming from High Command.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Nothing waiting for us...we're on our own until we get word from Earth.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods. "We'll find him. I can't promise it'll be soon. But we will find him." 6He doesn't bother to add on the unsaid "if he's alive."
* Xanatos`Durran nods a frowing head, and closes the conversation.
* Xanatos`Durran then dials the line for the proper ranking officials.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Arhn keeps running for the security office*
* Slasher steps into the security office, moving over to his desk.
<DeathStar> 6* A woman's face appears. "What is the nature of the communication?"
<Xanatos`Durran> "I need to speak with the High General. Warren is missing."
* Arhn enters the security office.
<DeathStar> <Woman> Captain Carmichael is missing?
* Xanatos`Durran breathes a yes.
* Slasher turns, eyeing Durran, trying to figure out what he's doing
<DeathStar> 6* The woman pauses, redirecting Durran's call.
<DeathStar> 6* The way could be a few minutes.
<DeathStar> (wait)
* Xanatos`Durran glances back around. "Should I tell the truth?"
<Arhn> ...what is this about Captain Carmichael missing?
<Xanatos`Durran> I'll explain it in a minute.*he says quickly to Arhn*
* Ry` walks again, now stepping into the security office. Without a word, he sat down.
<Slasher> Look at it this way. You lie, they find out, things can spiral out of hand and a War may break out. You tell the truth, we get reprimanded and Warren stays a POW until he can escape.
* Xanatos`Durran nods and turns around, waiting on the general.
<DeathStar> 6* The High General appears. "What is going on, Lt. Commander Durran?"
<Ry`> NRP: No repirmanding for me..el yay
<Ry`> NRP: *reprimanding*
<DeathStar> NRP: You might not get ranks, but you can't get reprimanded.
* Xanatos`Durran clears his throat, "Allow me to explain the situation, sir. Warren and I left the station a few days ago to travel to a planet to meet up with Dragoon Alpha Ariel. Basically she thinks that the planet could have been the origin of her species. It was pretty much an educational tour of old ruins. Anyway, as we were leaving a Tsiv cruiser pulled us into their hanger. Seems the planet was ins Tsiv space. Warren and I escaped our cell and he went o
<Xanatos`Durran> 12ｫCuttinｻ5 I escaped our cell and he went one way, I went the other. He damaged the engines so that I could escape. Needless to say, Xevil now has him." Xanatos frowns and waits for his punishment.
* Slasher narrows his eyes at Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* The High General sits there. "You're saying you and Captain Carmichael accidentally entered Tsivrixsh space on an educational tour?"
<Xanatos`Durran> It was all in an attempt to try and furthut understand the Dragoon species, sir. It had nothing to do with PAX.
<DeathStar> <High General> Do you realize what you've done, so carelessly entering Tsivrixsh space like that!?
<Xanatos`Durran> We were both fully aware of such implications. We had hoped we could enter and leave before anyone noticed. We were apparently wrong.
<Ry`> 14"My question..is how did they know.."
<DeathStar> <High General> This grave judgment in error is baffling beyond all comprehension, Lt. Commander. However, while I think you should be stripped of any command, you are the highest ranking officer. Attempt to hold the station together until a suitable replacement can be found."
<Xanatos`Durran> I'll try my best, sir.
<DeathStar> 6* The High General cuts the communication.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Ouch.
* Arhn stands to the side, hands folded together.
* Slasher sighs, rubbing his forehead. 1"You shouldn't have lied about anything period."
* Slasher moves over to start typing his modified report.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I can't speak on it since I didn't go...
<Xanatos`Durran> I didn't lie about anything. *he turns to eye Slasher* Warren and I were the only ones invited and the only ones that went.
<Ry`> NRP: Arhn likely overheard Durran..so yeah, that's the situation
<Arhn> ...what did you do...?
<Slasher> You said Warren and I left to meet up with Dragoon Ariel. If they search the records of this station they will see that we indeed left with you.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Afraid so. Its been logged that you all left together.
<DeathStar> <Janitor> It seems you need someone to modify the records. 6He says as he mops the side of the room
<Slasher> You were smart to leave Katrina and Darien out of it.
<Xanatos`Durran> Then i'll be the one in trouble. Not you. *he turns to Arhn* Warren is a hostage of the Tsiv.
* Xanatos`Durran turns to look at the Janitor. He glances at Cassandra.
<Slasher> The janitors right. Cassandra, start to adjust the records to fit our commander's lie.
* Xanatos`Durran nods to her.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...is that an order...sir?
<Ry`> 14"I think the Janitor would be a suitable replacement..he might fair better"
<Xanatos`Durran> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor perks up at the idea of a promotion.
* Slasher eyes the Janitor. 1"Who are you anyways?"
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor pauses, then wheels his mop and bucket out.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> You realize this is illegal, right?
<Slasher> So was going into Tsiv space.
<Slasher> And so is carrying around a Rail Gun.
<Seraphna> NRP: Bob the Janitor, the true hero of PAX.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes Cassandra.
* Slasher eyes Cassandra, his arms crossing
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I've already been busted for that. Alright, but I'm not taking responsibility if my hack job gets found out. *turns to her console*
<Ry`> NRP: I think the Janitor is John in disguise
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL
<Seraphna> NRP: Nay, he
<Slasher> Then you need to make sure you're good enough to not get found.
<Seraphna> NRP: Nay, he's secretly X1.
<Xanatos`Durran> I will. *he turns to Arhn* Can I expect your cooperation on this?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Not many better than I am...and most of those are WANTEd, not working FOR the gov.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Don't worry. Besides, your goose is already cooked anyway...what can I do to you?
<Ry`> 14"Put wanted for treason on their records"
<DeathStar> NRP: I think he means will ARhn cooperate, not Cass. ;)
<Arhn> I wasn't there to witness anything...
* Xanatos`Durran turns around to observe the monitors. "From now on we'll carry out our duties as normally."
<DeathStar> 6* The camera pans out.
<DeathStar> Season Finale Ends
