Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20060501.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.7.7
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station
* Xanatos`Durran has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos`Durran
<DeathStar> 6* It's another typical week at the station of diplomats. After pushing the envelope of war with the Tsivrixshs in the Gar'i'tx system, things are calm and the Tsivrixsh seem to not be seeking active war for the head of Rylon.
* Jackieness is now known as Arhn
* Cassandra`Arakawa has joined #taw
* `Cole has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits in his shuttle, holding the controls. He pushes the shuttle into an orbit around the station, using the time to relax and get his thoughts clear. He flicks a few switches as he leans back, listening to some music as he cruises around the station.
* Arhn sends Shiva an invitation to lunch over the station com system...
* Chad`Winters sits at his desk in the Security Room, his hand idlesly bouncing a pen.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires a gun at Zephyr, who ducks the shot and rolls behind some cover. The two of them are clad in electronic suits as they fire at each other with guns. It seems they are practicing who has the better aim. Warren rolls behind his own cover, taking a deep breath as he waits.
<DeathStar> 6* The entire station has slowly been filling with campaign articles, showing who is voting for in the upcoming election. It seems the station has the face of Cran all over the place.
* Ceres sits back, she's been positively glowing lately, far more cheerful then usual as she works
* Cassandra`Arakawa mutters as she yanks down campaign posters.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> ...no campaigning...in a givernment agency...much less...diplomatic mission... *grumble*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands on the observation deck, watching Darien pass by again. She shakes her head, holding a comm. "You know, I don't think you're using your time productively."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Nonsense. 6He twirls the shuttle so it's upside.
<Kio> 2Hated this whole situation now, and having to go under a new alias and the like..he'd of prefered to just hi-tail it to next galaxy to save people the trouble. His hair was now dyed black for the time being, and cut slightly shorter, excess hair is put into a single pony tail. He walks out of his room, whistling as he spots the articles. Of course the excess of cran made it all to clear who 2
<Kio> 2 was ahead. 14"Well..that sucks" 2
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *taps her comm* Yes Arhn dear?
* Xanatos`Durran is not on duty for the moment, he is actually sitting in the cafeteria. He is stretched back with his legs propped up on a chair, his eaten food remnants are beside him and he is currently writing something into hihs datapad.
<Arhn> While we were interrupted by the mission to Gar'i'tx last time, I hope that you are still open to that meal together.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Yes, that would be lovely.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rises above his barrier at the same time as Zephyr. Both of them fire shots. Warren gets nailed in the arm and it goes limp on him as he ducks back down.
* Ceres gets up, going to get a snack, passing by Kat, humming a little
<Cassandra`Arakawa> ...*mumble* want permission...to shoot...anyway...posting these damn...things...against...EarthGov policy... *mumble*
<Arhn> Excellent. I wish to discuss an issue with you.
* `Cole sits on the observation deck like always, not having much of any other place to play his music. He is in a corner this time though, leaning back and slowly strumming on the guitar. He hums lightly to his tune so that it would sound more of a distant sound than someone aactually playing.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, someone is happy. 6She notes wryly into the comm as Ceres passes in the distance.
<Kio> 2Walks into the Security office, glancing over at Cassandras mumbling. Of course his hearing was one of his best features. 14"Take a poster to the shooting range..it helps, I unloaded into a couple quite a few times"
* Chad`Winters looks over at Kio, eyeing him up and down.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> That's not the point. The point is its against EarthGov policy to campaign within any facility of any EarthGov agency. And a diplomatic station...hell...that gets people fired.
* Ceres giggles to herself as she grabs a snack from the galley, taking a seat
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *comm* Where do you want to eat?
<Kio> 2Eyes Chade out of the corner of his eye. 14"Always with the business, if it was against Earth Government policy..then why are they campaigning here? Cause they are the Earth government"
<Kio> *Chad*
<Ceres> *Elsiah grumbles, watching the monitors
<Chad`Winters> It's his way of rubbing it in that he's going to win.
<Arhn> *c* Choose the place, please. The conversation is more important than the meal itself.
<DeathStar> 6* A top priority security notice flashes on the screen.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Hold up. *checks the notice*
* Xanatos`Durran glances over at Ceres and arches a brow at her odd happiness. He moves back to his datapad just shrugging it off.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Colony side or Station side?
<Arhn> *c* The colony has more variety.
* Chad`Winters looks over at the notice.
* Kio takes a pen from his desk, and spins it skillfully within his fingers. With a snap of his wrist, it flings forward..and sticks into the forehead of a poster. 14"Makes you just wanna do it to the real thing.."
<Chad`Winters> And here I thought your blood lust would have been quenched with Xevil.
* Ceres finishes her meal and sighs, looking up at the cieling in a daydream fashion
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Then let us meet in the Hanger Bay.
<Kio> 14"Something tells me he isn't dead, sides if I had a craving for someones blood..you know how far I'm willing to go..and being I'm not on Crans doorstep, yeah do the math"
<Chad`Winters> Well, it looks like he'll be on our doorstep within the hour.
<Kio> 14"Really? Take it he's here for more boring political crap"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *grabs a black sweater and puts it on, she steps out of her room and makes her way down to the hanger bay*
<Chad`Winters> I doubt it. It's probably his way of condeming the facility. That or trying to sell it as a tourist outpost or a full blown military outpost.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> ...ah hell. Cran is coming.
<Arhn> I will be there.
<Kio> 14"A tourist outpost could be fun, Margaritas all around!"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leaps over his barricade, charging Zephyr. Zephyr leaps out and pops him in the chest.
* `Cole stops playing and glances over at Katrina who is still standing there. "Anything bothering you Miss Katrina?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Cole, flashing him a warm smile. "I'm just watching the Commodore make a fool out of himself. How's the guitar coming along?"
<Chad`Winters> I find your sense of an attempt to humor dry.
<Kio> 14"You find everything dry, Since I've been here it's a war just to get you to crack a smile"
<`Cole> About as good as it can I guess. I was actually thinking of going to train for a bit. I've been slacking this week. I've mostly just been sitting here about everyday. Starting to miss human interaction.
<Chad`Winters> No, I just laugh at what's funny.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You seem to have a real passion for music.
<Kio> 14"So you claim"
<`Cole> About the only way I can express how I feel. Even if no one else hears it, it feels better just to get it out.
* Ceres returns to the office, whislting a bit and working
<Chad`Winters> That's the normal response from something that's humorous.
<Kio> 14"But you're far from normal last I checked. So it's hard to say what works with you"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'd love to hear some of your music sometime.
<Chad`Winters> Funny.
* Cassandra`Arakawa clicks a button, turning on a stastion wide announcement.
<`Cole> Thank you. I would love to play for you and anyone else that would listen, though I wont claim whether it is good or not.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> *c* Now hear this. General Cran and his party are on their way for an inspection.
* Arhn ehads for the hangar bay.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands up, having lost. He pats Zephyr on the head as the two stand in the room.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *steps into the hanger and moves over to a shuttle*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances up, frowning.
<Kio> 14"I try, well not really.."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances up at the anouncement. She clicks her comm. "You hear that boss?" <Darien> Yeah. I'm docking now.
<`Cole> Hmmm, should I be getting to my room now?
* Ceres stands, blinking a bit, tapping her comms, "Did I hear that right...?"
* Xanatos`Durran glances up and arches a brow. He sighs and stands, moving to throw his trash away. He pockets his datapad as he walks down the hallway.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Of course not. This is a diplomatic station.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> *c* All personnel, get to your duty stations. Mainteannce, pull down those posters. EarthGov regs!
* Arhn crosses over to the shuttle as well.
<`Cole> So since i'm not on a mission and i'm just a guard..I wont be giving Cran an excuse to disrespect pAX?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien's shuttle begins to land in the hanger, powering down.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Of course not. This is merely for the Earth side of things.
<`Cole> Good, because I can't play my music in my room. *he smiles* I wish you good luck in dealing with Mr. Cran.
* Chad`Winters steps onto the shuttle and moves over to the pilots seat, powering it up.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But that means I do have to get the diplomatic station cleaned up. So excuse me. 6She gives him another warm smile. "We'll set up a time to hear some of your music sometime."
* Ceres smooths out her uniforma dn moves out to greet the general
* `Cole nods his thanks to her and resumes his playing.
<Kio> NRP: Who knew, one minute talking to Chad..next he's piloting a shuttle!
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Yes...He's that good.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Eveyone else can teleport, so so can I.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps out, heading down the hallways.
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the security office after stepping off of the elevator, he glances over at Cassandra. "So why is the almighty Cran coming here?"
* Arhn steps in and takes her seat next to Shiva, strapping in.
* Kio slips into his chair, sighing lightly.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Inspection is what the official reason is.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hops down the ramp of his shuttle, glancing over at the diplomats leaving. He shrugs, figuring it must be Cran's doing.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Ready dear?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren motions for Zephyr to follow him. The two exit the training room as crews arrive to clean it uip.
* Xanatos`Durran nods. "Since i'm not on duty, i'll just be on the observation deck. Must be my lucky day, not having to deal with Cran." He winks at them as he moves for the door.
* Chad`Winters flings his pencil into his desk, letting it bounce off and onto the next table where it rolls to the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps into the offices. She begins to clean up her work area.
<Arhn> Let's be off.
* Kio eyes the monitors, seeing the shuttle power up. 14"Damn, break time already?"
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Actually...everyone is on their duty station for an inspection.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien exits the hanger, heading through the hallways toward his station.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *lifts the shuttle into the air and flies it out of the station, heading down the the Colony*
<Kio> 14"Not those two...cause their um..leaving"
* Ceres arrives in the hangar, fixing her jacket a bit
* Xanatos`Durran stops and glances back at Cassandra, "I'm on duty because of an inspection? Thats absurd.'
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps in, nodding to Katrina. He begins to help her organize the files and paperwork.
<Chad`Winters> Hmmm...*frowns and stands up, moving over to the other side of Xan's desk, where he kneels down and picks up his pen*
<Chad`Winters> Yeah it's absurd that you'd be on duty, I agree.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's right drawer is slightly opened.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Hell, think I'm happy about it? I was supposed to go off duty in ten minutes myself.
* Kio brings up his communication system, opening up a channel to Warren. 14"You are aware Arhn's leaving..leaving..left, right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grabs his comm. "She's what?" 6His tone of voice says he's not pleased with this news.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs, "I don't remember that being a rule....but whatever, I'll need to go change then." he steps out.
* Chad`Winters moves back over to his desk and looks over at his opened drawer. He tosses his pen on his desk and moves over to the monitors, eyeing them.
<Kio> 14"She umm..left to the colonies with uhh..Shiva, you didn't know?" 2He is also displeased, not often Arhn neglects to inform those who protect her.
* Xanatos`Durran moves down the hall toward his room.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I was not informed. 6He gives Zephyr a look saying he has work to do. He moves for his room.
* Chad`Winters pats his chest, then his pockets, he turns to look at Kio. 1"Kio, can you toss me my datapad. It's in my right drawer."
* Ceres awaits, making sure the techs are all in proper uniforms andthat people are ready to fall into line when Cran shows.
* Kio glances over at Chad, before moving toward the drawer. He opens it to look inside for a Datapad
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into his room, glancing at his datapad as he changes into his uniform.
<DeathStar> 6* A strange toy leaps out at Kio's face with a bloodcurling scream.
<Chad`Winters> <MiniGM> *notes the Technicians are well prepared and need not Ceres help, infact the place is near spotless and wel organized*
* Chad`Winters leaps back, staring at the toy in aghast.
* Kio quickly brings his hand forward to bat the thing away. 14"Are you tricking me, you dick!"
* Ceres quirks her brow at the strangest group of mechanics to ever live in human history and checks her comms, "Hangar is all ready Commodore."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sends Arhn a message asking if she wishes for him to meet her down on the colony.
<Chad`Winters> What the hell was that?!
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *reaches Colony side, moving to land the shuttle*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances around when he hears Ceres' voice. "Hanger is all..." 6He grabs it. "Uh, thank you, Lieutenant."
<DeathStar> 6* The ugly toy lays on the floor now.
* Chad`Winters scratches the back of his head, he moves back over to his toy, looking at it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran's vessel begins to approach the station.
* Kio picks up the toy, glancing off to the right side toward Chad. 14"Pranked often?"
<Chad`Winters> No.
* Alicia has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Arhn> Hold on... *c* Warren, I have a sensitive topic to discuss with Ambassador Sevintes...though it would make me feel better if you kept an eye on the restaurant.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> *c* Everyone...he's here....
<DeathStar> <Warren> Understood.
* Xanatos`Durran steps back into the security office, clad in uniform. "Ok, i'm reporting for duty." He sighs and moves over to his desk, signing in on his console.
* Kio tosses the toy in the trashcan, shaking his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks into her room, as shown on the monitors. The door remains open and she steps back out, completely wet, her clothes sticking to her and her completely soaked.
* Chad`Winters turns back to the monitor, a slight smug on his face.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Just on time.
<Chad`Winters> I do believe it's time to head to the hanger to meet the General.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and Katrina step into the hanger.
* Kio stares at the monitor, spotting Zephyr. 14"Your doing Chad?"
* Xanatos`Durran checks himself real quick and then moves toward the door. "Yay for us."
<Chad`Winters> I don't know what your talking about.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> ...right...I'm head of security, so its my job. You two can stay here.
<Chad`Winters> What about the 3rd?
<DeathStar> 6* The vessel begins to land.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles. "Go get'm ma'am."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren discreetly heads for the Erusian hanger to leave.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *lands the shuttle and opens the ramp* Shall we go?
<Arhn> Let's. Warren can track us via my com.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Drinks are on me when I get back. *stands and heads for the hangar*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rolls his head back, as if working out a crink in his neck.
* `Cole moves over to his chair and stretches out. "This is going to be a long day..."
* Ceres stands at attention, waiting to greet
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *steps off the shuttle* So where shall eat?
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle ramp lowers and out steps General Cran and his lovely daughter.
<Arhn> What cuisine do you fancy?
<Chad`Winters> Something spicy perhaps?
* Chad`Winters eyes Sera stepping off the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves over to Cran. "Greetings, General. This is a most unexpected surprised."
<Arhn> That sounds good.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: BAKA!
<DeathStar> <General Cran> Yes. I thought I'd stop by here and see how you all were doing. 6He nods and waves to some of the engineers who have snuck into the hanger waving Cran posters.
* Ceres is now known as Seraphna
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Hmm..*she pulls out her datapad and begins typing on it* Let's goto Ma-Chings. *she begins walking down the street towards it*
* Seraphna looks around at the hangar curiously, fixing her glvoes, a clean, white Janus uniform on, with a large duster, emblazoned in golden dragons and an Omega symbol
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Oh shat I just realized I posted as Cole. meh I think you all knew who it was.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes the monitor. "What the fuck is she doing?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just stares.
<Chad`Winters> Again with the Omega symbol...
<Xanatos`Durran> I'm not very fashion savvy, but wow...
<Kio> 14"Apparantly she thinks highly of herself"
<Chad`Winters> A desperate attempt to hold onto something that means nothing anymore.
* Seraphna sticks to her father, certainly a lot healthier and happier looking then when she left PAX
* Xanatos`Durran nods. "I think we might have to actually be nice though." He frowns.
* Arhn accompanies Shiva.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: I'll be back in like 4 minutes
<DeathStar> <Darien> Lt. Commander. 6He says to Sera, recognizing her new rank.
<Kio> 14"Who knows, she might have dressed some people up in Beta custumes, and orders them around"
<Chad`Winters> Parish the thought. *he types on his console, bringing the main camera feed of the hanger on the big screen.
* Seraphna smiles to him and salutes, "Commodore."
<DeathStar> <General Cran> Well, Commodore, we're just here to view the facilities and speak with some of the personnel. It's an important year for Earth in general. 6He steps forward, bringing himself near Chad's computers.
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms, his attention focusing on Cran as he moves closer to his personal terminals.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *Stops in front of Ma'chings* Intersting place indeed. *she moves inside and motions for a table for two*
<DeathStar> <General Cran> I would very much like to speak with your elusive Lt. Winters first off. My daughter... 6He motions to her. "Well go with your security team and see if everything is in order."
<Arhn> A bit gaudy of decor though.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Of course. 6He taps his comm. "Lt. Winters, please proceed to the hanger to brief the General on your work."
* Seraphna smiles softly
<DeathStar> 6* Darien then looks at Sera. "And Lt. Commander Arakawa will escort you."
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Understood. *he clicks it off then looks at the other two* Track her well you two.
* Seraphna smiles to Cass, "Nice to see you again."
<Xanatos`Durran> We will.
* Chad`Winters moves over to the exit, stepping outside of the security room. He takes a deep breath and makes his way down towards the Hanger*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *is led to a table where she sits down*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren arrives colony side, following Arhn's signal.
* Arhn is seated as well.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Nice to see you as well.
* Kio crosses his arms, staring toward Xanatos now. 14"Seems were due for visitors"
<Cassandra`Arakawa> This way. *nods toward the door*
<Seraphna> "Shall we then? I'm eager to see my old home."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *grabs her menu and looks at it, pointing to a type of curry on it*
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Kio. "Worried they'll find you out?" he smirks.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr wanders the hallways, soaking wet. She seems to be staying this way, as if it'll help her formulate the master plan.
* Chad`Winters steps onto the hanger, putting his hands behind his back as he walks out into it.
* Xanatos`Durran glances around the security office, ever since Cassandra took over, there is very little a time when the place is out of order, but he checks just in case.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns to look at Chad. "I'll leave you two to discuss things." 6He steps out, motioning for Katrina to follow. The two exit, leaving Chad alone with General Cran.
<Kio> 14"Nah, if they find out I'll be amazed"
* Chad`Winters motions his fingers, signaling his crew to take break.
<Xanatos`Durran> Cran is intellegent. I wouldn't test him.
* Cassandra`Arakawa nods and starts walking toward the security room.
<Chad`Winters> General Cran. *he nods his head*
<Arhn> I shall have the same.
<DeathStar> <General Cran> The Commodore speaks highly of your work, Lt. Winters. I was wondering if you would mind showing me some of your designs.
<Seraphna> "Things seem much morein order these days, I see the change in administration did well for you."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren arrives outside the establishment. He takes a seat on a bench in the crowded area, watching everything.
<Kio> 14"We've never met face to face, and the only time he paid me little attention..so I'm pretty safe"
<Chad`Winters> I suppose that can be arranged. *he moves over to his terminal, pressing his hands on his terminal in a certain order, it booting up*
<DeathStar> 6* General Cran cups his hands together behind his back, waiting respectfully for Winters to finish before he looks.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> So what is it we were going to discuss again? My memory's been sketchy as of late.
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs and moves to hihs seat. "Alright then. I'll just point out that Sera has met you, and she would know you."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stops, seeing Sera being led to the security offices. She ducks behind some people, spying on her while dripping water on the floor.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> I am security chief now.
* Kio laughs 14"Then this whole incognito thing is kinda pointless now isn't it?"
* Seraphna looks right past tehm, smiles softly, and moves on, "So I was briefed."
<Arhn> Well...it is a...potentially sticky subject.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren narrows his eyes at a clown near the establishment.
* Chad`Winters hits another key and it boots up instantly, he then motions to the screen behind him and begins to bring up schematics.
<DeathStar> 6* Cran turns to loo kat the schematics, glancing over them wordlessly.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Here is the security office, as you know. *steps inside*
* Chad`Winters he then types on it again, the Holo-Table to the side powering up and another set of 3D desgins showing up*
* Seraphna steps inside, nodding to Elsiah, who simply casually salutes
<Seraphna> "Are you properly staffed? May I see your duty schedules?"
<DeathStar> 6* General Cran's lips curl upward some and he reaches over, taking an empty seat as he pulls it over to look at the designs, looking over them as if he understands them.
* Xanatos`Durran doesn't salute, being as Sera isn't a superior, he just acts like he isn't working.
* Kio continues staring at the monitors, looking rather bored.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> We are well staffed, however as part of the personnel is Erusian, it brings up an extra bit of red tape regarding the duty rosters.
<Chad`Winters> I've noticed that Janus has made the majority of the bids on my schematics.
<Arhn> It concerns your...mmm...expanded awareness.
<Chad`Winters> Are you referring to my ability to read minds?
<Chad`Winters> NRP: GAH!
<DeathStar> <General Cran> Yes. 6He looks over at the designs, then points at something. "This is brilliant. However, you could theoritically save more energy output if you replace this piece with...this..." 6He types something, bringing up another piece with a similar function.
* Slasher-GeOne has joined #taw
* Slasher-GeOne is now known as Shiva
* Chad`Winters eyes the new piece. 1"Interesting, your abilitys don't stop at leading it appears.
<DeathStar> <General Cran> I have a certain passion for designs. 6He leans back, glancing at Chad. "And it seems you have the same talents."
<Chad`Winters> It would appear so General.
<DeathStar> <General Cran> Have you considered what you want to do with your career?
<Arhn> Yes...exactly.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches the clown give a child a balloon.
<Seraphna> "I'm aware of the tape, your rosters are part of the inspection."
<Shiva> So what about it do you want to know?
<Cassandra`Arakawa> I'll let you see the EarthGov personnel. That should expedite this inspection. *brings up just the humans*
<Chad`Winters> No I haven't sir. I haven't thought ahead about anything. It helps keep my attention on what's at hand.
* Shiva looks over at Arhn oddly, as if perplexed by what she really wants.
<Arhn> Well...I was hoping that you might be able to give any...information concerning the biological origins of your mental abilities...
<Shiva> If you wondering if I had any medical research done on my peculiar ablities, then yes, I have. It's hereditary as far as they could discover.
<Seraphna> "Can you show me the Erusian shifts, without personell data?
<Seraphna> "Jsut need to know our people are working the proper amount."
<Cassandra`Arakawa> No, I cannot. The Erusians have their own organizational structure.
<Arhn> Any genetic profiling?
<DeathStar> <General Cran> I see. You should give real thought into following a career with schematics. You could do other jobs for the military as well, but your gifts are ... rare.
* Seraphna nods, jotting something on her notepad
<Chad`Winters> I have noticed my abilities are unique in themselves, but currently this is the only home that I have known and because of that I've formed a odd bond to it.
<Seraphna> "Alright, and all of your officers have been properly outfitted according to regulations?"
<DeathStar> <General Cran> Naturally. But part of growing up is to learn when to leave home. 6He reaches into his military vest and pulls out two old books, laying them down in front of Chad. They look to be a different language altogether.
* Chad`Winters looks down at the books, eyeing them. 1"Books sir?"
<Cassandra`Arakawa> The regs are my bible.
<Xanatos`Durran> She's not lying. Shes more of a hardass than anyone on this station. *he chimes in*
<DeathStar> <General Cran> I've heard you're a big fan of books. These are written in an old Earth language. Greek mythology books. Tales that still fit out lives today. You'll have to learn the language to understand them, but reading them in their original content is much more satisfying.
<Arhn> You are probably wondering why I have brought this up...
<Shiva> I am curious, yes.
* Kio moves over to his desk, plopping down. 14"Nah, she's a step down to the brass I've dealt with..breath of fresh air really"
<Chad`Winters> Interesting. And by what honor do I deserve such gifts?
* Seraphna smiles, "Good, good, shall we go ona patrol then?"
<DeathStar> <General Cran> Lets just say I have my eye on your career. 6He stands up. "I believe I'll go mingle with some of the crew." 6He walks over to where the engineers are still lurking, talking with them now. They seem to be hanging on his every word as he no doubt campaigns to them.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Of course. Any patrol route in mind?>
<Chad`Winters> Thanks you General. *he nods, wether it's for real or just for show is hard to tell*
<Seraphna> "Hmmm... somethign thorough."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina passes by Cran as he campaigns, stopping beside Slasher. "I was spying from afar." 6She confesses to Chad.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Let's just take the Grand Tour then.
<Arhn> Well..it goes to Erusian history.
* Chad`Winters looks over at her. 1"Curiousity killed the cat, no?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Appropriate. I picked up a vibe of emotion from him, though. He let his guard down with you just long enough for me to catch up on it.
<Chad`Winters> Admiration?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He's very proud of you. A strong pride, for me to have picked up on it so casually.
<Shiva> Continue on.
<Seraphna> "Lead on."
<Chad`Winters> A strange feeling from someone who has nothing to do with me.
<Seraphna> *Ceres is in the main offices, returning to filing
* Cassandra`Arakawa starts leading Sera through the station.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I would imagine so. Curious, isn't it? I never picked up on pride from him in regards to Serena, yet it leaks through with you.
<Arhn> Well, before the establishment of our civilization, the division between Yloi and Myhr was more than just skin color.
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms, taking in a deep breath. 1"And here I thought things would get less twisted."
<Shiva> Was it now?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Darien would consider this a fantastic mystery to solve. 6She notes dryly.
<Kio> 14"Well this sucks..why are we all dressed up..just to stand here?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr slips into the security room after Sera and Cass are gone. She peeks at the drawer.
<Arhn> Yes...at one time, we Yloi were all telepathic.
* Kio eyes Zephyr. 14"You the one who stuck that crazy ass toy in the desk?"
<Shiva> But now you're not. What happened to change that?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes. Did it work?
<Chad`Winters> What do you make of it?
<Kio> 14"On me"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't know. They say the General was a genius in design projects. Look at the Dragoons, after all. Perhaps his pride comes from the fact that you're designs are very impressive.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I apologize. 6She bows. "It was meant for Chad."
<Kio> 14"You need better pranks..that was kids play"
<Chad`Winters> *pauses, as if forgetting that* That's right...
* Seraphna walks along, taking in the sights, seemingly half there
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. 6She tilts her head. "What would you consider a good prank?"
<Kio> 14"Something not so obvious"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr considers this.
<Arhn> We are...not certain. We believe there is some manner of genetic switch that was turned off soon...well...
* Cassandra`Arakawa glances at Sera...
<Chad`Winters> He was able to pick out a place of improvement in one of my desgins.
<Seraphna> "Strangely enough... I miss this place."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? Then he must not have lost any of his skills. I think it's why engineers like him so much. He's one of them, only he managed to reach General.
<Chad`Winters> He was was he?
<Chad`Winters> Then maybe I should run for president?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina laughs. "Would you really enjoy being president?"
<Chad`Winters> Probably not.
<Kio> 14"Like maybe a paint in his shower or something..make him blue"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Something tells me that he wouldn't either. Yet he's been spending the last decade of his life trying to geti t.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. Thank you very much. 6She bows, then pauses. "How do I get in his room?"
<Chad`Winters> What could be so important about becoming president that he'd give up the one thing he likes doing so deeply?
<DeathStar> 6* Cran laughs, then holds up a hand to some of the engineers to walk off to the side. He contacts Serena. "Are you there, my daughter?"
<Kio> 14"Your crafty, find a way. Know the vents that lead around the facility? They lead directly into peoples room"
<Shiva> And I'm guessing you want to switch it back on.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't know. Why does anyone seek power? 6She asks with a shrug.
* Seraphna taps her comms, "Yes father."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr considers this, then hurries out of the room.
<Chad`Winters> I believe a great man said, 'Absolute power, corrupts absolutely'
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Kio. "Your just adding more fuel to the fire."
<DeathStar> <Cran> I believe there's no need to rattle the station anymore. Why don't you spend a little time visiting, then meet me in the hanger to leave."
<Kio> 14"Makes things fun to watch"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I know that saying. It's...uh...power corrupts, absolute powers corrupts absolutely, right?
<Chad`Winters> I do believe so.
<Arhn> Yes...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Do you think it's ever necessary to gain more power, then?
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "You didn't see what hee tricked her into doing to my shuttle did you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits back in his seat, letting out a deep breath as he relaxes.
<Shiva> Maybe such a thing happened for a reason?
<DeathStar> 6* General Cran then turns and begins to talk with the engineers, discussing machines and politics with them.
<Chad`Winters> Good question, is that not what PAX is doing?
<Kio> 14"No..I was..on my little side trip"
* Seraphna smiles, "Well, off duty now, so... is Arhn around?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I thought our goal was to achieve peace without the means of using power to do it.
<Arhn> Oh, it did indeed happen for a reason...
<Cassandra`Arakawa> She went planet side. Lunch with the Cartel ambassador.
<Xanatos`Durran> Right, it was a large pink duck in a pond. *he shakes his head* But hey, i'm glad to see Chad actually flirting with a girl.
<Shiva> Then do explain.
<Chad`Winters> Power can be measured in more than just physical power.
* Seraphna sighs, "My mother?"
<Kio> 14"I sorta thought he was gay for a while there"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina considers this.
* Xanatos`Durran chuckles. "I don't think he is."
<Chad`Winters> While it's the intentions that determines the outcome, that can be changed easily by one person.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Things are never as black and white as we'd like to believe it. I guess the same can be said for the General.
<Chad`Winters> *turns to look back at him* Well said.
<Kio> 14"I know now, before I left, Him and Katrina were getting kinda hot and heavy. Course I was in the security office, couldn't heard what they were flirting about"
<Cassandra`Arakawa> What mother?
<Seraphna> "Sorry, Ambassador Ariel."
<Cassandra`Arakawa> She's around, though I couldn't tell you where.
<Xanatos`Durran> Oh really? When was this now? *Xanatos perks his ear*
<Arhn> Ours...is an engineered species.
<Kio> 14"A few months ago, almost slipped my mind till his romantic life came up"
<Shiva> Then you should know right now that we are two seperate species. My DNA will undoubtedly not match yours.
<Xanatos`Durran> Hmmmm. I'll have to bring it up then. *Xanatos stares at his console, obviously thinking*
<Arhn> I am aware of that. However, I am hoping that there is enough of a universal constant here to merit a closer look.
<DeathStar> 6* General Cran has gathered a small crowd of the lesser knowns of the crew. He seems to be handling it like a well trained politician.
* Shiva takes in a deep breath. 1"I can give you what I've learned so far."
<Kio> 14"Right, your ..sorta dating her huh? I never see you together, so it's easy to forget"
* Seraphna seems to wander off, heading for Zephyr
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds a can of blue paint, eyeing the vents with a tilted head.
* Chad`Winters looks at the group forming around him. 1"He has a way with words undoubtedly"
<Arhn> I would appreciate that greatly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He's very convincing if you listen to him speak. If I didn't side with Darien politically, I might actually buy into what he says.
* Cassandra`Arakawa raises a brow and follows Sera to make sure a war doesn't start...
* Xanatos`Durran glances over at kio. "We both work alot more than we want. Usually if we have free time, the other is working. I try my best to see her as often as I can. Work just doesn't permit it. And unfortunately she doesn't work in the same area that I do. *he sighs*
<Shiva> *grabs her curry as it arrives and begins to eat it* What you must ask yourself now, is what are the negatives that may come around from this.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren runs the clown off in the background as Shiva and Arhn talk.
* Seraphna sneaks up behind Zephyr, "You know, I once got in trouble for painting a dove on Spade's car... and half of the political staff."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns to look at Seraphna, then at Cassandra. She hides the paint behind her. "Good evening, Lt. Commanders. I was just inspecting the vents to see if they needed more blue paint."
<Kio> 14"So? Who cares if she doesn't work in the same area, grow some courge and bust right on in that Diplomatic office, stare at Katrina and say "You, me..going out". Excuses are for boys"
<Chad`Winters> *reaches down picking up one of the books and turns it over eyeing it* You still owe me fight.
* Seraphna grins, "How thorough of you. How are you doing?"
<Arhn> I am not at all certain. That is what we shall evaluate.
<Xanatos`Durran> Boys? Now wait a minute, since when did you start giving me advice with women? I thought it was the other way around/
<Shiva> My gift, has been as much of a curse as it has a reward.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> ...more blue paint...?
<Arhn> How so?
<Kio> 14"Since I spent 4 months with John, the womanizer"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I am performing optimally. 6She says with a nod.
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL
<DeathStar> NRP: Ry's a changed man now.
<Kio> 14"The guy managed to knock up like 10 tsi women, while I was getting my ass kicked..so yeah"
<Xanatos`Durran> Showed you things you've never seen before eh?
* Xanatos`Durran blinks. "Thats honestly sick."
<Seraphna> "Is the crew treating you nice?"
<Kio> 14"Oh, yes..I've seen many things with him I'd like to forget"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I merely await the moment your courage encourages you to ask for it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Very nicely. 6She gives Cassandra a smile, as if she's guilty of something.
<Xanatos`Durran> But anyway you are right, I should demand more dates with her. But if she gets fired, then she has to leave. So I don't want that to happen either.
* Chad`Winters tosses the book back down on his desk. 1"I believe I need some fresh air."
<Seraphna> "Never mind a girl with blue paint. It's healthy."
<Kio> 14"If Cran becomes president, she's gonna get fired any damn way..who cares?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright. 6She turns to watch Cran now.
<Xanatos`Durran> We all will more than likely. *he adds*
<Kio> 14"Besides..I took a 4 month spur with a known Terrorist, and ironically they GAVE me a job..you'll be perfectly fine"
<Cassandra`Arakawa> What did you do?
* Chad`Winters eyes her, then lets out a sigh. 1"Care to join me?"
* Seraphna giggles, "I'm sure whatever she did was with good reason, right Zeph?"
<DeathStar> 
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns, giving him a smile. "Sure. Everyone else is busy with Serena anyway."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Very good reason, yes.
<Xanatos`Durran> Well I might just lose her to the perfect being that is Chad anyway, so what does it matter? *he words drip with sarcasm*
<Chad`Winters> Hurrah...*he let's out with false bravado*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes her head, then motions for Chad to go on.
* Chad`Winters reaches over to his terminal, logging it off, all his terminals shutting down.
* Kio points at the pair flirting in the hangar, as shown on the monitors. 14"Smartest thing you've said all day"
* Chad`Winters makes his way out of the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina follows Chad.
<Xanatos`Durran> Trust me, I know.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Just what did you do?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6She hangs her head. "I was told that putting pain in Lt. Winters' shower would be a well played prank."
<Seraphna> "Run along now Zeph!" *grins, allowing her to escape the cluthces fo Cass*
<DeathStar> (paint)
<Kio> 14"So grow a pair, get your stiff ass up..march down to her..and freaking ask her out"
<Cassandra`Arakawa> ... ... ...bwaahahahaahahahaha!
<DeathStar> NRP: She puts pain in showers. PAIN!
<Seraphna> A good one, proceed with your mission."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks in surprise at Cass' reaction, glancing at Sera. She quickly moves away.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Kio. "You know, it is highly annoying whenever you actually have a point."
<Kio> 14"So do something about it"
* Xanatos`Durran taps the desk. "Promise you'll shut up?"
* Chad`Winters let's out another sigh, his walk seeming lighter. 1"Much better"
* Seraphna grins to Cass
<Seraphna> "So... who else to visit..."
<Kio> 14"No, but I won't call you a coward..how about that?"
* Seraphna fixes her gloves a little, pushing a stray lock of blue hair out of her face
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Feel better getting some good recycled station air?
<Shiva> Ahhh this Curry is to die for Arhn.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs and stands, "Fine, fine." He moves toward the door and steps out into the hall.
<Chad`Winters> It's much better than recycled bullshit.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina laughs softly. "I agree."
<Arhn> Mmm...its quite good. But...how has it been a curse...?
* Kio looks back at the monitors. 14"I love being human."
<Chad`Winters> So tell me what do you think will happen to PAX if General Cran wins?
<Cassandra`Arakawa> I don't know...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We'll be closed down and probably reassigned to different units. The diplomats will be sent back home.
<Chad`Winters> Is there anyway to prevent such an event from happening?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No. 6She shakes her head. "Earth always had the liberty of shutting the PAX project down whenever it wanted."
<Shiva> You'll be seen different. If not as an oddity then as a tool.
<Chad`Winters> Then we'd have to win the Senate majority.
<Arhn> Unless one is but a member of a multitude.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not necessarily. As President, Cran would be the head of the military. He could just send out orders to have us shut down and the military will listen.
<Shiva> Then there is nothing but a tool box full of tools.
<Chad`Winters> I see. But what could he really gain from that.
* Xanatos`Durran makes his way down the hallway, coming the opposite way of Kat and Chad. He has just rounded the corner, so he isn't in speaking distance yet.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He's always stated he had a different agenda for peace than PAX. He'd just ... do things his way, I suppose.
<Shiva> Oh and on a good note, we're almost done improving your cloaking technology.
<Chad`Winters> A man of his word then eh?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't think he's stated differently about his intentions regarding PAX.
<Chad`Winters> I don't believe so either. It would seem it'd take an act of god to keep PAX running if he takes office.
* Kio eyes the Janitor coming in. 14"Hey you! got 20 bucks?"
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor stares, then nods.
<Arhn> Oh?
<Kio> 14"20 bucks says Xanatos chickens out"
* Xanatos`Durran reaches Kat and Chad. "Then we should make due with the time we have left." He glances at Chad. "Mind if I steal her from you?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This might just be me, but I don't think it'll be so bad if PAX shuts down. PAX is a ... ideal. The reality of the situation might--- 6She glances at Durran in surprise.
<Shiva> Yes, things are going ratehr smoothly
* Seraphna starts wandering around, hoping to meet up with some of the others
* Cassandra`Arakawa continues to folow Sera around.
* Chad`Winters turns from facing Katrina to look at Xanatos, a look of slight shock on his face. 1"If that is fine with Kat."
<Arhn> Anything you cna relay to me now?
<Xanatos`Durran> I have a hole in my pants? *he glances down* Why the shocked expressions?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I figured you'd be doing marches for Sera. What can I do for you? 6She asks with a smile, stepping over.
<Shiva> If I were to give it a date...month and a half to 2 months and we'll have the proto-type finished and operational.
* Seraphna looks back at her
<Seraphna> "Are you worried or soemthing?"
<Arhn> That is acceptable.
<Chad`Winters> Nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor eyes Xan, then looks at Kio. "Offer still valid?"
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Its my duty.
<DeathStar> 6* General Cran finishes with his adoring fans, moving back to his shuttle.
<Kio> 14"Ah hell why not"
<Xanatos`Durran> Sera is with Cassandra and Cran is campaigning. Our last date was quite some time ago, so I was hoping I could steal you away from Mr. Winters here to spend some much needed time with you.
* Seraphna shrugs, "Seems alls quiet..."
* Kio turns the nearest camera toward the conversation, and zooms in.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright. I can do that.
<Chad`Winters> I do believe I need to take a shower and a nap. We shall continue our conversation later Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods to Chad, then gives Xanatos her full attention.
* Chad`Winters turns walking off towards his room.
* Seraphna runs into Ceres, who's heading off duty, "Ceres..."
<Seraphna> Ceres> "...Lady Cran..."
* Shiva finishes off her curry. and slides her plate to teh side.
* Seraphna nods, Ceres nods, and they go in opposite directions
<Arhn> Mmmm...Shiva..I have another question to ask...
* Xanatos`Durran smiles and turns to Chad. "Good luck with that." He nods to him as he goes and then turns to Katrina. "So, a date hmmm, you like holo-movies don't you?"
* Kio sweats a bit, sure isn't looking good for him.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes. I do. 6She glances at him. "You seem different for some reason."
* Chad`Winters pauses, looking at Xan for a second, seeing his smile. 1"Yes..."
* Chad`Winters passes by Ceres, barely nodding to her as he does so.
* Xanatos`Durran turns to look at Katrina. "Ahh, I just realized that I could probably be doing more to spend time with you, and instead of making excuses, I plan to start doing more of what I want.
<Shiva> Another question? My we're a curious person.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? I like the sound of that. So, what do you want to watch first?
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor leans on his mop as he watches.
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs, "My plan stopped there, i'm flying on the seat of my pants now." he smirks and extends his elbow so that she may take his arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes his arm, shaking her head. "You really need to think out these daring plans better."
* Kio sweats more. 14"Damn damn....." 2Leans over his console, defeated. 14"Well..don't spend it all in one place" 2Places the 20 bucks before the Janitor
* Seraphna runs into Kat and Xan
<Arhn> Well...this is more of soemthing for your consideration. Given the current political climate on Earth...would it be possible for the Cartel to prop up Earth's stake in PAX should worse come to worse?
<DeathStar> 6 The janitor takes the money, then walks off.
<Seraphna> "Oh ummm... hello there."
<Xanatos`Durran> Then I would be uptight and no fun, and would you seriously want me to be like that? *he smiles lightly to Sera*
* Chad`Winters steps into his room, pulling his shirt off and moving into the bathroom and turning the shower on, he then moves back into the main room to finish taking his clothes off.
* Seraphna smiles back to them, "How are you two?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We're fine. 6She smiles at Sera.
* Chad`Winters drops his boxers off and opens the curtain to find blue paint splattering everywhere.
* Kio eyes Sera coming into the scene, wondering where Cassandra ran off too. He opens a line with her 14"Where did you run off too?"
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Katrina, "Fine as a frog hair is how the saying goes I do believe." He smirks.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just stares.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at her. "You never heard that before?"
<Chad`Winters> Well played, Zephyr.
<Seraphna> "That's good... good..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... no.
<Shiva> I do believe that would be quite possible.
* Chad`Winters looks down at his blue hand. 1"Well played indeed."
* Arhn nods.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs and places a hand on his face. "Wow, I guess that shows I come from a backwater area..." He glances at Sera. "Sorry to be rude, but we have a date with some holo-vids." He smiles to her nicely and proceeds to move on.
* Chad`Winters continues to watch the shower go until the blue paint fully flushes out.
* Seraphna giggles
<Seraphna> "I know the drill, have fun."
<DeathStar> 6* The water is all normal now.
* Seraphna sighs and fixes her coat, "Should have brought Kane..."
* Chad`Winters moves over to his sink as he lets the water run, he begins watching the blue paint from his hand.
* Seraphna heads further down the hall
<DeathStar> 6* As he turns on the sink, it floods his hands with red paint.
* Chad`Winters hangs his head, then reaches up and turns the sink off.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Katrina as they near his room. "Sometimes I forget that not everyone gets my hick little sayings.." He steps up to the door and opens it, motioning for her to go on in.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps inside.
* Chad`Winters reaches down and grabs a towel, wrapping it around his waist. He moves outside of his room and heads down the hall past Xan's room, heading to the public restrooms.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Chad. "I think Zehpyr has declared war on you my friend."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches Chad go.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Anyone else you need to meet?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina covers her face and turns away quickly.
* Chad`Winters stops, looking at Xan. 1"It's only fair, I did set up a bucket of water on her door.
<Xanatos`Durran> I saw that. You can thank Kio for the paint thing by the way.
<Chad`Winters> I see. *he continues on his way to the public restrooms*
* Xanatos`Durran turns and steps into his room, the door shuts behind him. He moves over to his holo-vid collection and begins to search through it.
<Shiva> So have the recent uprising been taken care off?
* Chad`Winters steps into the public bathrooms and moves over to the sink and turns it on.
* Xanatos`Durran stops and glances at Katrina, "What kind of movies do you fancy, my dear?"
<Arhn> Well...its not an uprising...yet...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll let you decide. 6She lays down on his bed.
* Xanatos`Durran glance at her and eyes her, thinking.
<Shiva> An attempt was made was it not? That's the start of one.
* Seraphna wanders into Darien eventually
<Xanatos`Durran> Ummm, I actually have a romance movie? Think you could hold down your lunch if I put it in?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A romance movie? Well, I think I can try to stomach such a terrible genre that woman are known to abhore.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up from his paperwork. "Lt. Commander Cran. What can I do for you?"
* Chad`Winters washes his hands clean the best he can, he looks down at them slightly stained and shakes his head, a slight smirk on his face*
<Arhn> We shall see...
<Seraphna> "Just making my rounds, how are you doing?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I am doing efficently, I'd like to think.
* Chad`Winters moves over and dries his hands off and heads out of the bathroom, heading back to his room.
* Xanatos`Durran chuckles, "Well then i'll put that in. Believe it or not, I enjoy a good ol fahioned romance movie or two." He moves over to start the movie and then movees over to his bed to lie down with Katrina.
* Seraphna giggles, "You sound like my sister, saying it that way..."
* Chad`Winters steps into his room and over to the shower, which he left on.
* Seraphna quiets quickly and asks seriously, "How is Mother?"
* Chad`Winters drops the towel and begins showering.
<DeathStar> <Darien> "Mother"? 6He repeats. He cups his hands together. "Technically speaking, you and Ariel aren't barely on the same genetic level. I doubt there could much of an arguement that you two are alike."
<DeathStar> (are barely)
* Seraphna smiles, "I was however, modelled after her, and thus I am a predessesing generation... of sorts."
<Seraphna> "She's the closest thing I have to a mother besides a testing tube."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head. "I fail to see the connection I'm afraid."
* Xanatos`Durran watches the movie and glances at Katrina, "I must admit, we don't do this enough."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We don't. 6She agrees. She glances at him.
* Cassandra`Arakawa just crosses her arms.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Cassandra behind Sera, giving her the unshared look that Sera's visit should end. He glances back down at his paperwork.
* Seraphna shrugs, "Call it a child's attempt to fid a gaping hole in her existance."
<DeathStar> <Darien> If you'll excuse me, I'm very busy.
<Seraphna> "Alright then..."
<Seraphna> "You never did answer."
<Seraphna> "How is she?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up. "You're addressing a superior officer, Lt. Commander. I suggest you treat me with the respect due to me."
* Xanatos`Durran glances at her, "Is somethign wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Nothing at all.
* Seraphna salutes, "Sorry sir."
* Xanatos`Durran smiles at her. "I don't think I can remember the last time we actually laid in a bed together, and just watched the holo-vid.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> You had better get back to your ship, Lt. Commande.r Your father is probably waiting.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> True. But do you actually want to talk, or do you want to watch the video?
* Seraphna nods, "Very well."
<Xanatos`Durran> I just want to spend time with you. We have all the time in the world to talk, so if you want to do it now, then we can. If you don't then we'll just lay here in each others company. I'm completely fine with either.
* Seraphna heads back, an empty look on her face
* Cassandra`Arakawa follows Sera back to the hangar.
* Seraphna heads to the shuttle, stopping tot ake a look around once more, shaking her head
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina snuggles against Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head, cupping his hands together after they're gone. "Trouble..."
* Xanatos`Durran smiles at watches the movie, holding her tight. She would definitely feel his lovee for her. Though he has not ever once proclaimed it to her.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: least I can't remeber if he has or not.
* Seraphna steps up to the shuttle, smiling to her father
<Seraphna> *Ceres steps into the office, humming as she puts away a folder
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Good journey, lt. commander.
<DeathStar> <General Cran> Enjoy your visit?
<Seraphna> "It was... different then I expected."
<DeathStar> 6* Cran motions for the pilot to have them leave. He pats the seat next to him. "In what way?"
<Seraphna> "Darien was very... closed to my talking about Mother."
<DeathStar> 6* The General sits there, not revealing any emotions on his face. "I see. Why do you think he would be like that?"
<Seraphna> "I think they're worried about me and getting involved with the Dragoons again..."
<DeathStar> <Cran> Don't worry about it. 6He puts a hand on her head, like he did when she was younger. "You should look toward the future."
<DeathStar> Session Ends
