Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20060508.log'
* Slasher-GeOne has joined #taw
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.7.28
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station
* Slasher-GeOne is now known as Shiva
<DeathStar> 6* The station has become pure chaos in just under a week since we last saw the adventures of it's diplomatic staff and security. All the member races of PAX have sent diplomats in for PAX's first promised annual meeting between all the worlds. Compounded upon this chaos is that this has never been done before, and news reporters are there to cover it - and watch PAX fail miseriblely
<DeathStar> 6* Currently, with all security, day and night, on duty constantly for this event, PAX has even brought on other security to help out, including that of some old faces. Currently, though, Lt. Commander Xanatos Durran is having a situation in the hanger, where the Ridarium crew of the ship that brought their diplomat, refuses to let their cargo be searched
<DeathStar> 6* Three towering Ridariums stare down at Xanatos, refusing to back down on their claim that the cargo is their diplomat's personal affects.
* Xanatos`Durran stands there before the Ridariums, "Please, we mean you know offense, it is just safety protocol, that is all." He sighs.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> I crush puny human if he does not back down! This is Ridarium diplomatic property!
* Alicia is now known as Red_Fox
* Shiva stands at the back wall near the main door, his arms crossed as he surveys his Hanger
<DeathStar> NRP: Well done. Your first move, too
<Ceres> NRP: A new record.
<Shiva> NRP: BAH!
* Chad`Winters stands at the back wall near the main door, his arms crossed as he surveys his Hanger
* Xanatos`Durran arches a brow, "Could I please speak with your diplomate?"
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> He busy! You move!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks down the hallways, rubbing his face as he's been dealing with over a hundred different complaints from all the various diplomats onboard. Suddenly, the voice of Red calling out his name makes him cringe.
* Ceres is... working... definately not hiding... in the office.
* Red_Fox heads over to Darien. "Hey, Darien! Long time no see!"
<Xanatos`Durran> I'm sorry, but you cannot move anything on this station without a proper search. If you have nothing to hide, then you wont mind if I search it."
<DeathStar> 6* King Red pauses beside Darien, about to say something when he sees Red Fox. "Well, hellllloooo. When did they hire you? Can I have your number? What's your cup size?" 6Darien stands there.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> We will not let you search. We smash you first.
* Kio sighs, sitting in the security office. His legs spraw on his desk, as he watches the monitors.
<Red_Fox> "I'm.. just temporary, I think.."
* Chad`Winters steps forward, moving over to beside Xanatos.
<Ceres> *Elayne is currently interviewing several diplomats, her face and voice one of concern over the "shakey work" of PAX.
<DeathStar> <King Red> That's a shame. You and I could make a great team. 6He puts an arm around her. "We could wine and dine."
<Red_Fox> "Sorry, but I'm busy."
* Shiva steps into the Hanger, wearing a casual dress, she taps her feet, obviously waiting for something
<Red_Fox> NRP: Busy AVOIDING YOU!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pries Red off of her forcefully, offering an apologetic smile. "I think if you want to find Lt. Commander Durran, he's currently in the hanger."
<Red_Fox> "Right. Of course."
* Red_Fox heads that way.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs. "Listen, we can't let you by without a search. If you do try to Smash me, then it will make your Diplomate look very bad. Would you really want to do that?"
<Kio> NRP:...Diplomat!
<Ceres> Elayne> "So tell me Ambassador, what do you think of the failures PAX had in dealing with the Tsivrivxsh competition?"
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> ME NO CARE ABOUT DUMB HUMAN LOGIC! 6He waves his hands threateningly.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: It doesn't matter.
* Ariel finds herself busily working over the paperwork for this event, dreading how much more paperwork the security force is going to cause them.
* Red_Fox heads over to where Xan is soon enough. "Having trouble?"
<DeathStar> <King Red> Listen, Commodore, I was wondering if you would mind changing my rooms so that I could be next to that lovely Amorian diplomat. <Darien> Red, the only place I would be willing to move your room... would be the nearest star.
<Chad`Winters> If you will not permit us to seach your cargo, then we would prefer to have your ship outside in orbit around the station for security reasons.
* Xanatos`Durran doesn't make a move to show any sign of feeling threatened. He holds a finger up to Fox, meaning one moment. He glances over at Chad.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> Our diplomat needs his stuff!
* Red_Fox stands back, waiting patiently, hopefully backing up Xan by just being there
<Ceres> *A floating camera makes a soft whirring noise, alerting Darien to it's presence.
<Chad`Winters> Then you will bring it outside, open it, and let us see what's inside.
<DeathStar> <Darien> What the---? Oh, Christ. 6He bats at the damn camera.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium looms over Chad, as if he's going to crush him
* Chad`Winters stands firm, his eyes staring directly back into the Ridariums.
<Xanatos`Durran> He is right, either let us search the item, or get off of our station.
* Ceres is now known as ELayne
* ELayne is now known as Elayne
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> You humans do not make your stuff be searched! OUTRAGE!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien retreats into the diplomatic offices. He closes the door, glancing at Ariel. "I'm dying inside."
<Chad`Winters> What is it of your you want to search?
* Elayne nods sympathetically to an ambassador who claims to have been treated very poorly since his arrival.
<Elayne> *Ceres sighs, "What happeend Commodore?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I've been asked to change room accomodations 15 times because one race is offended by another race. Or, in the case of the Realion Ambassador, wants to shag the otherrace.
<Shiva> *A Black shuttle de-cloaks outside the station, and sends it's codes in, signifying it's from The Cartel*
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium stares at Chad confused.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is in the training room, meditating. With all the chaos, it's the only empty room.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Did you miss a "don't"?
<Chad`Winters> I mean ours. You can search our stuff if you feel it will be a fair trade.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks down the hallway, speaking Feronian Ambassador. "Listen, Ambassador, I assure you there's no way a terrorist attack will hurt you here."
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium considers. "WE WANT TO LOOK AT HIS STUFF!" 6He points at Durran.
<DeathStar> NRP: *They find all of Durran's porn*
<Chad`Winters> So it shall be. Do we have a deal?
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> Only if we search his stuff first. 6He says with a stone rumble.
* Xanatos`Durran nods. "I will go retrieve it." *he turns* "Stay with them Chad" He turns to walk out of the Hanger, on his way out, he glances at Fox. "I'll be with you in a moment." He continues on.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium sizes Fox up.
* Kio watches all the havoc. 14"Oi..why does this place even exist..no one wants it to suceed.."
* Red_Fox nods to Xan, then hangs back and waits
* Seraphna has joined #taw
* Red_Fox doesn't seem at all intimidated by the Ridariums
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves over to his desk, sitting down at it and rubbing his face.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium looks annoyed again.
* Ariel gets up and stretches, speaking to no one in particular, "...I'm going to stretch my legs." And then she heads out into the station.
<Shiva> *The shuttle recieves the ok and lands in the hanger*
* Seraphna is now known as Ceres
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr seems to have been concerned by the Ridarium Ambassador. And from the looks of things, it's not a pleasant conversation.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium paces back and forth, giving Chad and Fox some room.
* Elayne has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ceres
* Chad`Winters watches the Ridarium using his full vision scope without letting his head follow.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> You are souless dolls! What right do you have to be here? <Zephyr> I am not qualified to answer that question at this time. <Ridarium> You are qualified to answer NOTHING!
* Xanatos`Durran emerges back into the hanger carrying a case, he sets it down in front of the ridariums and steps back.
<Ceres> *ELayne calls up Katrina on her comms
<Shiva> *A paler white male steps out of the shuttle, his redish brown hair is short but spiked about, he weres black leather pants and a fur over coat, to a human he'd look nordic in race*
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium grabs the case and begins to open it, tossing various items out with little care.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at the Feronian ambassador, then answers her comm. "Yes?"
* Kio leaves watch duty in the hands of the other personel, and heads out into the hallways.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium pauses as he eyes a porn magazine. "Disgusting."
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs. "Light reading."
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> Human females nude are repulsive. 6He looks at Red Fox.
<Red_Fox> "..."
* Shiva moves over to the man and bows her head deeply. 1"Loki Ulrich, I'm glad you could make it"
* Ariel pauses a moment to eye the Ridarium ambassador. She keeps a level voice. "Excuse me, sir, is there something I can help you with?"
<Xanatos`Durran> You may have your opinions. Now it is our turn to check your stuff.
<Red_Fox> .oO(Are they TRYING to piss me off?)
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> ... 6He looks at Ariel. "You are not worthy of speaking with, soulless creature. You do not belong here."
<Shiva> <Loki> Ahh Shiva Sevintes, how is our lovely little ambassador doing? *he nudges her, a wicked smile on his face*
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium rumbles with annoyance, then opens the crates. It seems to be various odd items that only a Ridarium would find necessary.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Chad. "Do you see anything that would warrent danger?"
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: warrant.
* Chad`Winters kneels over the box, eyeing everything, he pulls out a scanner and scans it
* Kio stops in front of the training room, and pokes his head in.
<Ceres> ((sorry for the delay...)
<Chad`Winters> Everything appears to be clean. Thank you for your time.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren keeps sitting there, meditating still.
* Ariel nods, "You are welcome to your opinion, but you shall cease harassing my aide."
* Xanatos`Durran nods and steps out of the way of the Ridarium's.
<Ceres> ELayne> "Miss McCormick, can we meet up shortly for an interview?"
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> And what will you do if I do not ... "Cease"?
<Kio> 14"Have you seen Arhn? She seems to be..absent in this little ordeal.."
<Red_Fox> NRP: Warren's real full name... Warren T Danger
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm afraid not. 6She says politely. "I'm much too busy. Perhaps another century."
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Bout time! *stabs at her*
<DeathStar> <Warren> It would appear the Ambassador is off station dealing with situations.
<Ceres> Elayne> "So I'll put you down as no comment to all my questions?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rises, turning to face Ry.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You certainly can.
<Kio> 14"..it figures.." 2Rubs his face.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It would appear I am playing ambassador again today.
<Kio> 14"You played it before?"
<Ceres> *Elayne sounds entirely too pleased, "Very well, thank you."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I ran the diplomat station once upon a time. 6He notes dryly.
<Shiva> I'm doing wonderful, I did help us gain that huge deal remember?
<Ariel> "Unfortunately, my present posistion limits what I can afford to do myself, but be assured that security will be PROMPTLY notified."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina clicks off, turning to look at the Ambassador next to her. "Avoid that woman."
* Cassandra_Arawaka has joined #taw
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> Hiss. You hide behind your little security forces now?
<Kio> 14"Right..of course.."
* Jackieness is now known as Arhn
<Shiva> <Loki> Of course, and The Cartel is very proud of said deal. Now please my dear, show me around your new home away from home.
<Ceres> *Elayne turns to the camera in the meeting room, currently empty exceot for two cameramen, "Katrina McCormick refused to participate in an interview, considering the recent activity of her brother, the fugitive John McCormick, we at ENN were concerned about this behavior."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks between the two quietly.
<Ceres> *Elayne stops the recording and muses as she goes down the list.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slumps against his deck. "I should be an alcoholic."
* Xanatos`Durran turns to face Fox. "Ok, what can I do for you?"
<Ceres> "Don;t start... trying to kcik the habit already."
<Chad`Winters> One problem solved, you need to work with Katrina on your negotiating Xan.
<Red_Fox> "Well, I was wondering how I could help you."
<Kio> 14"This is a hopeless situation you know Warren..going out as ambassador will simply get you chewed up..I wouldn't suggest it"
<Ariel> "It would be a taint to my honor, to besmudge my posistion as an ambassador by taking petty action."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a fight begins to break out in the cafeteria between the aides of the Ciennians and the Sloethians. They begin to tear apart the cafeteria.
<Red_Fox> "Looks like a lot's happened while I've been away."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Indeed. Especially as I'm a human. 6He notes, tilting his head toward the roof. "However, without Arhn here, I am unable to do much."
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Chad. "Sorry i'm not as glorious as you Chad." he turns back to Fox. "We can always use the help, I suggest asking Cassandra, she is the new XO of security."
<Shiva> My please. *she turns and begins walking, passing by Xan, Chad and Red Fox. Loki eyes the two then Chad
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: New to fox, not new really.
<Ceres> *Cameramen are there to catch all the action, an assistant commenting over a microphone about securities inability to handle the crowds.
<Red_Fox> "Alright. Where is she right now?"
<Shiva> <Loki> So that's the infamous Chad Winters...A stallion of a man.
* Red_Fox blinks a little, overhearing
* Xanatos`Durran pulls up his comm and pages Cassandra. "Lt. Commander?"
* Chad`Winters eyes Loki then down at his comm. 1"We gotta problem down in the Cafeteria. You two go now.
<DeathStar> NRP:I love how you're trying so hard to get out of leadership.
<Ceres> *Elayne hits her comms again, paging Darien
<Kio> 14"Then perhaps it is best Erusia goes without it's ambassador? The damage would likely be less signifigant, everyone on Earth wants this project to fail..and because of that..I know it will"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien picks up his comm. "Yes?"
<Ceres> Elayne> "Commodore, would you care to join me in the meeting room for your interview?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> If you ask me, half the member worlds want it to fail.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm much too busy.
<Ceres> Elayne> "No time to address the people's concerns Commodore?"
* Red_Fox heads down to the Cafeteria quickly
<Kio> 14"Notice that too did you? I was watching the screens..most of the ambassadors really don't care"
* Ceres arches an eyebrow, looking at Darien
<DeathStar> <Darien> I have a dozen ambassadors and more than 3 dozen aids on this station. The people's concerns should be about me doing a good job, not answering your questions. Perhaps after this particular event is over, we could talk. When my job isn't being interfered with by stopping.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Uhhh, why is Fox running to the cafeteria.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. It would appear that everyone is tired of the idea of cooperation. 6He notes.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Because I'm confused?
<Red_Fox> NRP: Forget it
<Shiva> NRP: Becaues Chad told you two to go.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Where is JACKIE!
<DeathStar> 6* The cafeteria utter chaos now. The Ciennas and Sloethians have destroyed four tables.
* Ariel looks to her daughter, a small smile touching the corner of her lips, "Zephyr, please return to your duties. We're very busy with all the commotion right now."
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Oh I didn't see that.
* Chad`Winters looks at the two, standing there. 1"Go now you too. Hurry.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr bows her head, hurrying off. The Ridarium Ambassador hisses again after she's gone, seeing her as a weak target.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Oh, I wasn't confused then
<DeathStar> NRP: If Xanatos says anything, he's uselessly wrong.
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs and moves off, heading for the cafeteria.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Always.
<Arhn> NRP: I'm here... *weeps*
<Xanatos`Durran> nRP: I hate you all by the way, figured I would let you know.
<Shiva> <Loki> I so would like to talk to that man when we have a second.
<Shiva> Perhaps if there is a repreve of time.
<Kio> 14"After this event..I have no doubts Erusia might pull it's support..seeing it as a hopeless endevor.."
<Ceres> Elayne> "Then you wish to go on a no comment basis?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Really? You think Arhn would give up?
<DeathStar> <Darien> I believe you have my comment, Miss. Trenton.
<Kio> 14"No..but what of the people that aid her?"
<Ceres> *Elayne closes the comm, startingt eh video again.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I do not know. 6He says honestly.
* Xanatos`Durran moves into the Cafeteria and tries to calm things down.
<DeathStar> 6* A Sloethian backhands Xanatos away.
<Kio> 14"I'd hate to say it..but it seems the only way people can get along is subjugation by force.."
<Ceres> Elayne> "The Commodore refused to accept any interviews, in light of the publics recent concern and polls showing feelings of incompetence, it's not surprising the Commodore is hiding from the press."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien, eyeing his datapad and hearing about the fight, leaps out of his desk and hurries to the cafeteria.
* Red_Fox moves to try to help Xanatos. "Everyone calm down, there's no need for violence."
<DeathStar> 6* A Cienna male picks up Red and bodyslams her onto a table.
<Ceres> Elayne> "Is this the leadership the people pay thier taxes for? ENN will bring you more on this story coming up."
* Xanatos`Durran gets back to his feet and estimates how many people are causing trouble.
* Red_Fox groans, and stands up again, watching the Cienna
* Shiva continues to lead Loki around*
<DeathStar> 6* Four on each side.
<DeathStar> 6* The Cienna male then tackles a Sloethian male.
<Cassandra_Arawaka> Sonuva! *runs out of her quarters, wet and wrapped in a towel, towel wapped around her!
* Kio looks down at his datapad, and waves it in front of Warren. 14"This is our future it looks like..a fight broke out in the cafeteria.." 2He moves to head toward the Cafeteria
<DeathStar> 6* Darien arrives in the cafeteria. "Hell..."
<Ceres> *A camera focuses on Cassandra as she runs.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Darien, "What are wee going to do?'
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs a gun and fires it into the ceiling. Everyone stops.
<Red_Fox> "... that works."
<DeathStar> <Darien> If you do NOT go back to your quarters immediately, I WILL THROW THE WHOLE LOT OF YOU INTO THE BRIG
* Kio steps in, just as everything seems to halt.
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs, "I didn't think I could use my gun..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I call it tough negotation stances now. 6He says sourly.
<Ceres> *The cameraman turns to face Darien, focusing a lens on him.
<DeathStar> 6* The eight people begin to file out.
<Red_Fox> "Nice job."
<Cassandra_Arawaka> "...what the hell happened?!
<Ariel> "Now, I believe that you have better things to be doing. It would be a shame for your people if their ambassador needed to be detained on formal charges." *starts off*
<Shiva> <Loki> I would like to meet the Commdore, he seems like an interesting person"
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium Ambassador watches her go, hisses, and then walks off in the other direction
<Red_Fox> "A fight broke out.. I don't know the details beyond that."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... oh jesus. 6He says Cass half-nude.
<Red_Fox> "... you should put something on."
<Ceres> *The news crew seems VERY focused on Xan, Cass, and Darien now
<Cassandra_Arawaka> ...alright...I want an investigation. I'm on duty in five! *turns and heads back to her quarters*
<Red_Fox> NRP: Wow, I'm out of the focus.
<Kio> NRP: So am I..who cares?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches the camera. "I suddenly have the urge to pull a Carmichael and shoot the cameras.
<Shiva> Let me see if he's busy. *she taps her comm* Commodore Starr, can you spare a few minutes.
<Red_Fox> "I know the feeling."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs the comm. "Yes, Ambassador Shiva, I can spare a few minutes for you."
* Chad`Winters watches his crews negotiate and park all the shuttles that come in.
<Shiva> <C> In your officE?
<Xanatos`Durran> I wouldn't blame you. *he comments as he moves past Darien and heads towards the security office. "Come with me Fox."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, reports of another fight between PAX engineers and the Ridariums start coming in.
<Red_Fox> "Right." *goes with Xan*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Of course. I'll head straight there.
* Chad`Winters taps his ear, a slight scowl appearing on his face*
* Xanatos`Durran gets the room, "Nevermind, another fight." He breaks off into a run toward the location of the fight.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns and exits the cafeteria, heading for his office.
* Kio groans..and turns to head toward the new fight.
<Ceres> *Elayne calls on Xanatos over the comms.
* Cassandra_Arawaka hurries to get her clothes changed...
<DeathStar> 6* The fight, taking place near the hanger, is going bad for the engineers. The Ridariums are literally beating the shit out of them
* Shiva leads Loki towards The Diplomatic Office.
* Red_Fox rushes after. "Damn, I thought this place was supposed to be PEACEFUL!"
* Chad`Winters turns and heads out of the hanger, heading directly towards the place.
* Arhn meanwhile is on a shuttle, traveling back toward the station...
* Xanatos`Durran pulls up his comm, "Not now." he turns his comm off aand moves into the fighting area. "Calm down now!"
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> YOU INSULT OUR TECHNOLOGY! WE SMASH YOU! 6The Ridarium slams an engineer into a wall as if he were a doll.
<Red_Fox> "You want a room in the brig?"
<Ceres> *Elayne smiles, "I dunno what's easier... trapping them or never even talking to them..."
* Chad`Winters slides into the hallway. 1"What is the meaning of this?!
* Xanatos`Durran hisses and moves toward the Ridarium, "Either stand down or get the hell off this station!"
<Ceres> *Elayne calls on Winters next
* Kio steps in at the same time as Durran, looking toward the fighting. 14"Ugh.."
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridariums have finished knocking out all the engineers. They seem content now to stand victorious over the unconscious engineers, who are bloody.
* Chad`Winters taps his ear. 1"Yes?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien enters his office, giving Ceres a "Oh My God" face as he passes./
* Xanatos`Durran eyes them. "Leave. Go find your diplomat and stay with them."
<Ceres> Elayne> "Mr. Winters, would you like to join me in Meeting Room B for an interview?"
* Ceres grimaces, "Commands been sending a lot of messages."
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> We no listen to puny human who breaks easily.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> If you want an interview, you'll have to do it while I'm working. Things are hectic.
<Ceres> Elayne> "Gladly, where might I find you in an hour?"
<Xanatos`Durran> Think of it as a request. Not a command.
* Red_Fox just glares. Ridariums piss her off.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> Ha ha. Request DENIED.
<Chad`Winters> <C> Won't know.
* Chad`Winters looks at the engineer. 1"Who started this?
<DeathStar> 6* The engineers are all unconscious
* Chad`Winters shakes his head. 1"You've proven to a bunch of engineers your stronger. Are you happy?"
<DeathStar> <Ridariums> Yes.
<Xanatos`Durran> Then leave. *he hisses*
<Chad`Winters> Then get back to your rooms.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> We beat you if you do not show respect. 6He says to Durran
<Kio> 14"How about you respect us?"
<Ceres> *Elayne jots down more notes after tunring off her comms, "Tech advisors can't even keep a schedule... hmm... I need someone with a good rep to burn..."
<Chad`Winters> Show us respect and you will get it in return.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> We only respect those who fight us.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren has gone back to meditating.
* Cassandra_Arawaka runs out of her wuarters, clad in her uniform this time! She heads for the hangar...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps into the offices, sitting down on her desk. "My throat hurts from assuring everyone they won't die."
* Xanatos`Durran shakes his head. He hates ignorant Ridariums.
* Shiva steps into the Diplo's office with Loki, who spins around eyeing the room, he spots Katrina, a deviant smile appearing on his face. 1"Well hello"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at the two of them. "And who is your handsome friend, Ambassador Shiva?"
* Red_Fox can't think of anything polite to say, so says nothing right now
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium looks annoyed at their lack of words.
<Kio> 14"Hell..I'd love to fight ya, but the camera crews are in the way
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> You wish to fight?! 6He steps forward with interest now.
<Chad`Winters> Perhaps another time a fight can be arranged, but now is not the time for it.
* Chad`Winters turns back eyeing Kio.
<Shiva> This Kat my dear, is Loki Ulrich. He's...A business associate.
<Red_Fox> "Right now, we're too busy trying to keep order here."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, hello there, Mr. Ulrich. 6She holds out her hand.
<Cassandra_Arawaka> Alright, update me. What's going on here. *spoken as she enters the hangar*
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium sees Cass, hissing with annoying. It's stone body looks put off by seeing her.
<Chad`Winters> Infact, perhaps if the Ridariums behave the rest of this meeting. A fight can be arranged in return for your patience.
<Kio> 14"As I said..Love too..but the cameras prevent me from doing so, unless you can arrange somewhere private..your outta luck"
* Xanatos`Durran moves away and pulls up his comm, "Ridariums beat the hell out of the engineers, and another fight broke out in the caafeteria."
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridariums consider this, then begin to attack the cameras.
* Xanatos`Durran glances, "And now they are attacking the cameras." He adds to Cassandra.
* Chad`Winters look at Kio, anger obvious on his face. 1"Idiot."
<Cassandra_Arawaka> I caught the tail end of the cafeteria fight.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Could I fire a warning shot without damaging the station?
<DeathStar> NRP: Yeah.
<Kio> 14"Yeah yeah..not my fault they are the ones who wanted to attack the cameras..blame the guilty party once in a while"
<Chad`Winters> You provoked him.
* Red_Fox fires a warning shot. "That's ENOUGH!"
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridariums stop crushing cameras to look at Fox.
<Shiva> <Loki> Oh so kind Shiva my dear.
<Kio> 14"I simply announced if they wanted a fight..it'd need to be somewhere more private..blame them for taking it the wrong way"
<Chad`Winters> If you took the time to understand the person, you'd be able to choose your words better.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr wanders the station, avoiding Ridariums. For their own safety.
* Red_Fox rolls her eyes at Kio. "Go find a training room, then. I'm not having anyone, or anything crushed anywhere else."
<Ceres> *ELayne begins to walk the halls, smiling, camera crews are doing a good job of captureing all the finer points of chaos as she walks down the halls.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> Yes. Training room. Now.
<Shiva> <Loki> *reaches out, taking her hand delicately and pulling it in, kissing it lightly on the top*
<Kio> 14"See..now that's what I was thinking.."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives him a smile, obviously charmed. "So what brings you here today?"
<DeathStar> 6* Ridarium tosses a broken camera down and begins to march down the hallway for the training room
<Shiva> <Loki> *he waves his hand around* The Cartel's interests and business of course.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Of course.
<Shiva> <Loki> *claps his hands together* So Kat...if I can call you that?
<Kio> 14"For the record..I've never been good with words..it's why I'm not a diplomat" 2He bows and leaves
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out of his office. "Well, hello Shiva. Glad to see you're on time."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You can.
* Ariel pauses, seeing all of the Ridarium marching by. She worries.
* Shiva turns and looks at Darien. 1"I try my hardest."
<Red_Fox> NRP: I'm coining a new phrase now. Ridarium diplomacy
<DeathStar> 6* The fact they look happy should be even more frightening.
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr spots Elayne and her crew. Her mind remembers that reporters are evil. She looks for a hiding spot.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hello. 6He says in greeting to Shiva's male friend.
<Cassandra_Arawaka> Xan...I want everyone on patrol now...and try to keep these diplomats seperated if they have any...issues with each other.
* Chad`Winters taps his comm. 1"Miss Trenton, I have free time right now. If you want an interview, meet me in the hanger."
<Red_Fox> "Can I advise keeping a close eye on the Ridarium?"
* Xanatos`Durran rubs the back of his head, "You got it." He turns to the others and issues the command to the rest of them.
<Ceres> *ELayne spots Zephyr too quickly, "Hey kiddo!"
<DeathStar> 6 Red pops up beside Arakawa. "Lt. Commander Arakawa, I was wondering if I could have my room moved next to the hot Amorian ambassador..."
<Chad`Winters> That's an obvious. Red Fox.
* Chad`Winters turns, heading back to the Hanger.
<Shiva> This Commodore...Is Loki Ulrich.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr freezes like a deer in headlights.
* Kio steps inside of the training room, after the Ridarium. 14"Still here Warren?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren opens his eyes, still meditating. He sees the Ridarium. "I can tell now that my meditation is over."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien bows his head slightly to Loki. "It is my pleasure to meet you."
* Xanatos`Durran stretches and moves along the halls.
<Kio> 14"Well..they insist on a challenge, in order to cooperate..so I suppose..sorry"
<Shiva> <Loki> *winks at Kat, then tilts his head over towards Darien.* And you must be the Commodore that the lovely Shiva Sevintes tells us about.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You do realize hand to hand combat with a Ridarium is pointless, right? 6He motions to the stone body.
* Cassandra_Arawaka just looks at Red...
<Cassandra_Arawaka> No...
<Ceres> *For the first time in a long time, the Vapaad are walking the halls.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She talks about me? 6He looks at Shiva. "I'm flattered."
<Ceres> Elayne> "Wanna eb on TV kid?"
<Shiva> NRP: *and yet, no one notices*
* Red_Fox tries to blend into the background
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Negative.
<Shiva> <Loki> Are you kidding me? She never shuts up.
<Ceres> Elayne> "What's wrong, don't wanna be famous?"
<Kio> 14"I know..but hell I've been able to put my fist into harder materials..if I cant get passed the surface, then perhaps I might get some points for at least trying?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I must be more popular than I realized. I hope it's all good.
* Arhn 's shuttle drops out of hyperspace and glides toward the station.
* Shiva looks aghast, her mouth hanging open.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Very well. 6He stands up, exiting the training room, leaving Ry alone with his Ridarium pal.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I do not.
<Shiva> <Loki> That and how she loves the way you wigg...*Shiva's hand slams against his mouth, quieting him*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina keeps watching Loki, quite taken it seems.
* Kio sighs..not really wanting to fight all that badely..that's actually a first. But he simply sucks it up, looking up at the big guy. 14"You must work out"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Really? 6He crosses his arms. "I never knew you had to sit through such reports."
<Ceres> ELayne> "Wanna just talk to me a bit then? I'm a reporter, we're here to make sure that the station is running fine, you want people to know it is, right?"
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> SMASH NOW!
<Shiva> You'll have to excuse Loki here, he has loose lips and loves to make people squirm.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium tries to hammerblow Kio.
<Cassandra_Arawaka> NRP: Kio...your nick.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh, don't be modest. If you talk about me, Ambassador, it's quite all right.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: His name is kio now.
<Shiva> <Loki> Those are only a fraction of my talents my dear. And yes, I enjoy reports, helps me study others.
<DeathStar> NRP: Is correct. It's his new identity name since "Ry" isn't suppose to be there.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I believe I should leave now.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr attempts an escape.
* Chad`Winters steps into the hanger a look of annoyance on his face, he types on his datapad and begins looking.
* Kio quickly hopes backwards, trying to use his superior speed to his advantage. The hammerblow would slam into the ground before him, and he spins into the air..planting both legs against the metallic wall. With a bounce he springs forward, trying to ram a flying knee directly into the Ridariums face. Of course he packed as much power and speed into the blow as possible..knowing this could get 2
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods. "Well, it's nice to meet you. I hope the station isn't too horrifying for you."
<Kio> 2 could..complicated 2
* `Cole has been patrolling the halls to help out security.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium is kicked and he takes a step back. He tries to grab Kio now and crush him.
<Cassandra_Arawaka> NRP: Ohhhh...
<Shiva> <Loki> You've never been to one of Shiva's Baltak Celebration....
<Ceres> Elayne> "Alright kiddo, take care... say hi to your mother for me."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh really? Do tell me.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods politely, then hurries out of sight. She has escaped true evil today, she realizes.
<Red_Fox> "... who was that guy, anyway?"
* Cassandra_Arawaka heads to the security office then sees the monitor, she opens a channel to Darien.
* Ceres looks stressed as she rifles through messages on her console, "...Dear lord... is this woman sending out her footage live?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren spies Trenton in the hanger. He twitches a bit, then turns and moves in another direction.
* Shiva hangs her head, knowing where this is going.
<Cassandra_Arawaka> *c* Commodore, the Erusian Ambassador is aproaching the station now.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh, hold on a moment. 6He smiles apologetically, then answers Cass's comm. "Okay. Tell her she's been missing all the fun."
<Ceres> Elayne> "Why if it isn't Warren Carmicheal! Hello there!" *cameras click on*
* Kio uses that rock surface as a spring board, launching himself off the Ridarium as quickly as possible.. The grab would barely miss him, and allow him to spring once more off the wall. This time he twists into the air, trying to directly headbutt the big bastards nose.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stops, cupping his hands behind his back as he turns to face Elayne. "Miss Trenton."
<Shiva> <Loki> Well let me tell you, it's extravagent as extravagence can get.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium steps back again, then punches at Kio again.
* Ariel sighs, and decides she can't NOT invesigate the occurance of... happy Ridarium, and quietly proceeds to the training room to investigate.
<Cassandra_Arawaka> *c* Yes, sir.
* Cassandra_Arawaka then opens channel to Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Two Ridariums are roaring with pleasure as Kio and another Ridarium fight.
<Ceres> Elayne> "I hear you made a stupendous recovery. How are you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien clicks off, giving Loki his full attention again.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well.
<Cassandra_Arawaka> *c* Sir, your ambassador is about to dock.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren clicks his comm. "Thank you, Lt. Commander. I will go greet her now."
* Kio couldn't escape that one, as the fist smashed into his gut. He crinched in pain upon contact, oO(..hell these guys are POWERFUL!!). But he simply grins to mask his pain, latching his hand onto the rock surface of the hand. Using it to his advantage, he lopps around the hand, and tries to come up with a twin leg spear kick at the Ridariums chin.
<Shiva> The party before she joined PAX, wow...There was fine liqour from one end of the room to the other. Just...Yeah...Infact, you'll have to come to the next one.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium falls backwards, hitting the floor and actually denting it.
<Shiva> NRP: That was Loki
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll make sure to do just that. It'll be an absolute revelation, I'm sure. 6He quirks his eyebrow at Shiva.
* Arhn 's shuttle glides into the secondary hangar and then settles down...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at Shiva.
<Ceres> Elayne> "Mr. Carmicheal! One question pelase!"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren clicks off his comm. "And what might that question be, Miss. Trenton?"
* Kio htis the ground, tumbling to one knee. His hand falls to his gut, now the pain obvious. 14"Damn your a tough cookie.." 2Without hesitation he hops forward, and into the air once more. This time his right leg shifts into an axe kick at the Ridariums face, deciding it best to soften up one spot.
<Shiva> Why not tell them about the wall of exotic dance....*she pauses, realizing she just got suckered* rs....
<Shiva> <Loki> *smiles his deviant smile*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This I'm curious about. 6She says, leaning forward.
* Red_Fox heads to the security office, wondering how the rest of the station's doing
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium is hit, sinking further into the floor due to his weight. He tries to grab Kio's leg and throw him into the ceiling.
* Ariel crosses her arms. She's not even going to ask if this was authorized... but it's better than them tearing up the station.
<DeathStar> 6* An Erusian passes Fox, eyeing her suspiciously as he walks by
<Red_Fox> .oO(Yeah, everything's new here.)
<Ceres> Elayne> "We've learned you're now working as Ambassador Arhn's bodyguard, are the rumors true you are in relations with her as well?"
* Chad`Winters stands there watching the hanger again, his eyes looking down at his datapad now and again, keeping an eye on where Trenton is.
* Xanatos`Durran rubs his neck as he takes a seat in the observation deck.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren offers her a smile void of any warmth. "You shouldn't believe everything you read in the tabloids, Miss. Trenton."
* Kio is sent spiraling toward the ceiling. He hits it with a powerful thud, his muscles churning in unpleasant feelings. He tries to use it to his advantage. One hand reels backwards, as he presses off the cieling and falling directly toward the Ridarium. Using all his momentum, he drives a hard fist at his foes head once more.
* Shiva looks at Katrina. 1"Yes...A wall of exotic dancers..."
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium is driven into the floor, and becomes stuck.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> When you do something, you really do it, don't you?
<Ceres> ELayne> "Oh we have more then jsut a tabloid, Mr. Carmicheal... are you denying it then?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head. "And you're such a wallflower here.
* Kio flips backwards, panting heavily. He glances down at the stuck Ridarium. 14"..oh boy"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Our relation is strictly a working one, Miss. Trenton. Strictly. 6He offers a tilt of his head, then turns and walks off to the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium howls with indignation at the weak floors.
<Shiva> I believe it's called a Gilded Bird, and yes, I don't hold back.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium Ambassador walks by Elayne, obviously annoyed and having great indignation.
<Kio> 14"Hey..guess who's the one standing big guy? Weak floor or not..you can't get back up! Now..are you ACTUALLY going to respect me, or am I gonna have to leave you there to think on that?"
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium decides to just tear the floor apart to get free.
<Ceres> ELayne> "Ambassador! How are you today?"
* Chad`Winters whistles at an technician and motions him to make room for the Erusian Ambassador.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> I am not well. 6He rumbles with indignation.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into the hanger, moving to greet Arhn.
* Red_Fox checks the monitors for anywhere she should check out, nodding to anyone who's there
<Kio> 14"H-Hey don't do that!" 2He hops forward, trying to smash his leg rapidly into the Ridariums, hoping the impacts are enough to get passed the skin and knock him out.
<Arhn> I was delayed on my return. What has been happening? *spoken as she disembarks*
<DeathStar> 6* The only thing of real concern is the fact Elayne the reporter is talking to the Ridarium Ambassador.
<Ceres> Elayne> "Care to share with us the problem?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> The annual PAX meeting with all the member worlds sending their diplomats has begun today. So far it's been less than stellar.
<Arhn> ..alright....what has gone wrong...?
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> The entire staff of this station, including the Ambassadors themselves, are downright incompetant.
* Red_Fox sighs, and heads towards where Elayne and the Ambassador are
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fights. And reporters.
<Ceres> Elayne> "I see! Do go on sir."
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium is repeatedly kicked over and over. It howls with rage. It finally stops moving after about 30 kicks.
<Red_Fox> .oO(This is NOT looking good.)
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> My property was forcefully searched, my men were goaded by engineers and when they defended themselves, harrassed by security. Even now I just got a report of one of the security agents BEATING my people. And the Dragoon Ambassador threatened me when I engaged in a conversation with her aide.
<Shiva> <Loki> And that's only the Baltak Parties, you should see the Solstice Bash.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She's quite the party girl? It's hard to picture you with this desk job now, Shiva.
* Kio brings his foot up, holding it..it hurt like hell. 14"Now....do still insist on running rampant on the station!?"
<Shiva> I thought it was obvious from the start?
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> REVENGE. SOON.
* Red_Fox tries to get a feed of the continuing conversation on her comm
<Kio> 14"...you just won't listen will you?"
<Ceres> Elayne> "Simply terrible... and the Dragoon ambassador threatened you sir... with violence?"
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> Indeed.
<Red_Fox> "..."
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> It is my belief the Dragoons are just another arm of the Earth diplomatic force. I have seen her working closely with the human diplomats. I believe the entire Dragoon homeworld is a facade.
<DeathStar> 6* She manages to use the camera systems nearby to patch into their convo
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, noting the hallway they approaching. "We should take another route. I last saw Trenton here."
* Red_Fox listens the conversation with disgust
<Ceres> Elayne> "An interesting theory sir... and you believe it is the current political party that helps fund PAX that runs this fascade?"
<Arhn> ...what is she doing here?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Since this is the first time in history so many diplomats have been gathered in one spot, the news crews had to come running to cover our historic event.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> I do. The entire "giving the dragoons their homeworld" is a sham.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> They are a race of 20? 19? It's outrageous.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> And yet they hold a seat of authority here, while my race does not.
<Ceres> Elayne> "I'm sure many of Earth's citizensshare your concerns Ambassador, are you then happy to hear of the comig electiosn on Earth?"
<Arhn> I do not approve...
* Red_Fox attempts to signal this to Warren's comm without losing her own signal
* Kio tries to pull the dang Ridarium from the floor. 14"Get back to your ambassador, if you insist on further violence..insist it with me and me only"
* Chad`Winters eyes his datapad with annoyance.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> They need a warrior leading Earth. General Cran managed to defeat the Ridariums years ago and for this we respect him. Your current president is weak who hides behind lies for victories.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren patches his comm., getting the last bit the Ridarium said.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium in the training room eyes Kio, then marches past Ariel and out the door.
<DeathStar> <Warren> She does not give up easily, does she? 6He notes dryly as he listens.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leads her around Trenton.
<Ceres> Elayne> "I'm sure General Cran is very appreciative of the support from Alien Races such as your own Ambassador, are there any other comments you'd like to make to the people of Earth?"
<Shiva> <Loki> So Commodore, how are things going on the front?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hectic, but ground breaking, I think we can all agree to that much.
* Kio walks into the hallway, then eyes Ariel. 14"Eh..how long have you been here?'
<Arhn> ...no...she does not. Get me in to see the Commodore.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> They should realize times are changing and they should change with them. PAX was a relic before it began.
<Ariel> "A little while. I needed to be reassured that things would not get out of hand."
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren nods, taking another hallway to avoid Trenton as he works his way to the diplomatic sector. He sends Darien an alert to let him know they're coming.
<Ceres> Elayne> "Wise words from an old enemy now friend to Earth's people. Thank you for your time Ambassador."
* Arhn follows Warren...
<Kio> 14"..as you can see..not too much damage was done..*sigh* I'm not payed enough for this"
<Shiva> <Loki> This is a monumental occasion, it does show how much work does need to be made to secure things better.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> Thank you. It is nice to see my voice actually matters to someone here.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I agree. We're under staffed and under prepared.
<Red_Fox> .oO(Some "friend".)
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up as Warren and Arhn enter the room. "Ambassador Arhnya."
<Ceres> Elayne> "ENN Considers the entire Galaxy it's voice. I hope you tune in."
<Shiva> <Loki> Then perhaps it's time to bring in other races to fill things in. Start out small, to make sure things work out smoothly then expand from there?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns off his comm, after sending Fox a thank you note for letting him hear it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We can only hope. 6He offers Loki a smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances over.
<Arhn> I was unavoidably delayed, commodore.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium Ambassador continues on his way, bumping into Fox.
* Ceres grumbles, "Sir... there's a lot of messages pending... from COmmand..."
* Ariel nods, "It was better than letting them rampage."
* Red_Fox does her best to keep out of the ambassador's way
<DeathStar> <Darien> I understand. We haven't actually started the diplomatic part of this little get together.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium scowls as he continues onward.
<Cassandra_Arawaka> ...alright...what do we have then?
<Shiva> <Loki> The Cartel are willing to extend it's hand to help at any time. *he looks over at Arhn, another smile appearing on his face* And this must be the lovely Ambassadora Arhnya.
<Kio> 14"I suppose, this whole thing so far hasn't gone well..we shouldn't have done this"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods to Warren, who nods slightly back to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr appears in the diplomatic office, apparantly seeking sanctuary.
<Arhn> What has been happening during my absence?
<Ariel> "It would not have been well to have neglected the responsibility."
<Shiva> <Loki> *blinks, his head tilting slightly at her avoidance of him*
<Ariel> "But... we were not ready for all this."
<DeathStar> <Darien> So far we've been getting all the ambassadors checked in. And trying to keep them from killing each other. The real problem is Trenton, though, who is stirring up trouble.
<Arhn> ...why is she on this station?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Someone high up gave her the clearance she needed to do this coverage. Friends in high places, as the saying goes.
<DeathStar> <Warren> That friend no doubt being a General.
<Shiva> <Loki> Who is this Trenton?!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She's a reporter.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I find her most terrifying.
<Shiva> <Loki> A reporter?! *his eyes beam as if the notion of being seen on T.V. is exciting*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just stares.
* Shiva looks at Loki. 1"No....You know better than that.
<Shiva> <Loki> Oh come on, just once.
<DeathStar> 6* Red wanders the hallways, looking sad.
<Arhn> Commodore, the Erus Ascendancy has part ownership in this project. We were not consulted.
<Kio> 14"Heh ya think? It's almost like someone set us up to fail"
* Chad`Winters taps his comm once again. 1"Elayne Trenton, the appointed time has been reached. I am currently not busy."
<DeathStar> <Darien> My hands were tied in the matter. Earth wanted this covered with the news.
* Red_Fox just keeps an eye on the ambassador for now
<Shiva> <Loki> Oh come on! You know he won't care. Hell, it could be good for business!
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium Ambassador wanders around, most noteably toward the engineering section.
<Ceres> Elayne> "Excellent, shall we meet in Meeting Room B?"
<Arhn> ...I see...
* Red_Fox heads towards the engineering section, just in case...
<Ariel> "There are individuals with a vested interest against the success of this organization... unfortunately, there seems to be little we can do about that."
<Chad`Winters> <C> I'm currently still on duty, if you want the interview you will have to do it in the Hanger where I'm stationed."
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium Ambassador turns a corner ahead of Fox, vanishing from sight.
<Ceres> Elayne> "Already there."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I apologize, personally, but those were my marching orders.
<Arhn> She has been a disruption in the past, commodore. The Erus Ascendancy protests her presence.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It would do well, Ambassador, to avoid speaking with the woman. Her questions will not be welcomed.
<Shiva> You will mind words Loki Ulrich.
<Shiva> <Loki> Oh you're not fun.
* Chad`Winters turns eyeing Elayne.
<Kio> 14"Yeah I know..hope you have plans afterwards"
<Red_Fox> *comm to Warran* "I found something else suspicious. The Ridarium Ambassador seems to be finding the engineering section interesting right now.."
<Red_Fox> NRP: WarrEn
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his comm. "Do you have a visual on him?" 6He seems naturally to slide into his old job.
<Chad`Winters> Proceed Miss Trenton.
<Red_Fox> *comm* "Not right now." *heads the way the ambassador went*
<DeathStar> 6* As Fox rounds the corner, a giant stone hand reaches out and grabs her by the throat, lifting her up. "You dare follow me, human?"
<Ceres> "Very well, do you care to comment on the conduct of PAX over the last half year?"
<Ceres> *Elayne>>>
<Arhn> Warren...I am retiring to my quarters. That reporter is not to be admitted.
<Chad`Winters> You'll need to be more specific to pertinent events.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I understand, m'lady.
<Red_Fox> "I'm just checking the engineering area."
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium ambassador squeezes his hand now, cutting off some of her oxygen. "Lies. You are leading me to my death. Assassin."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: No, I'm following you.
* Arhn turns and leaves, heading for her quarters.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien tilts his head, seeing Fox's loyality with Warren remains strong. He looks back at Loki. "It would be best to avoid Trenton, Loki."
<Shiva> <Loki> *slumps defeated*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there, waiting for word from Fox.
<Shiva> <Loki> But it sounds like that's ultimately what she wants.
<Ceres> Elayne> "Say... the various victories the Tsivrivxsh peace movement has had over PAX's efforts?"
<Ariel> "My interests still center on keeping my people safe..." *pauses* "But I would very much like to see PAX survive."
* Red_Fox activates the comm, secretly. "I'm SECURITY! It's my JOB!"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hears that, then rushes out the door. He runs down the hallways, grabbing his gun as he moves.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his comm. "Lt. Commander Arakawa, I need you to send people to the engineering section right away."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches Warren gone.
* Red_Fox then tries to break the lock before she loses conciousness
<Cassandra_Arawaka> *c* Attention security personnel, report to Engineering now!
<Chad`Winters> We had a leak of information that was out of our hands. We made due with what we could in the situations at hand. I believe that while we may not have won the alliances, we still learned from it, effectively helping us create new alliances later on.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium Ambassador snarls, letting go - just long enough to shove her against the wall. "You are following me! Why not other Ambassadors? WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?"
<Kio> 14"I see..I'm sure you have the leadership skill to keep your people safe." 2He eyes his comm 14"Annnd..back to work..!" 2With that he runs down toward the engineering area.
* Red_Fox chokes out her answer "PAX."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren enters the engineering section, holding up his gun as he moves around corners. He begins to get closer to Fox's comm. source.
* Chad`Winters turns, his head slightly, eyeing something behind Elayne.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassadors> PAX wishes to assassinate me? CONFESS!
<Red_Fox> "Of course not!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tilts her head, studying Loki
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves around the corner, aiming at the Ridarium. He prays backup arrives soon. "Step away from the Lieutenant, Ambassador."
<Shiva> <Loki> So Kat, tell me all you can about our lovely Shiva.
* Ariel wishes she had the excuse to follow Kio, but... she doesn't. Turning, she makes her way back to the diplomat's offices.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm afraid my lips are sealed. 6She says with a smile.
<Red_Fox> "We're fully committed to the safety of EVERY ambassador... and that means watching out for troublemakers."
* Xanatos`Durran slides up behind Warren, his pistols out. "What's going on?"
<Shiva> Atleast someone can keep secrets around here.
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> Assassins. This woman here came to kill me.
<Shiva> <Loki> I believe that under the right circumstances, I can persuade anything. *he says, winking at her*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren snorts, just keeping his gun trained.
<Ceres> *Elayne seems not to give it any mind, "And what are your feelings on the fact that Earth Diplomatic Core has rendered more treaties in teh last 4 montyhs then PAX has covered in it's entire running time?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That sounds like a challenge.
* Kio turns the hallway toward the scene, arriving behind them. 14"Uhh assassins?"
<Red_Fox> "There are none."
<DeathStar> <Ridarium Ambassador> I am outraged. I will be speaking with your leaders. 6He marches off with indignation.
<Red_Fox> "Just an ambassador who has a suspiciously secret interest in engineering."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches him go, dropping his gun into his holster.
<Red_Fox> "Guess I'm a little rusty on trailing people."
<Chad`Winters> PAX was created to forge alliances for the benefit of Earth and then it's allies. If one were to look at things properly, the PAX treaties are just as important as the EDC treaties.
<Kio> 14"Could be a personal interest.."
<Shiva> <Loki> Ooh, a woman who loves a challenge. I likey.
<Red_Fox> "In that case, he could've asked..."
<Kio> 14"..he's a Ridarium..need I say more?
<Red_Fox> "Oh, he also said something about 'revenge' earlier."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives him a smile. "I can see you're quite the charmer. Much like Shiva." 6She glances at Shiva.
<Shiva> <Loki> She learned it from me.
<Ceres> *ELayne smiles, "You're very adept for one that reports have called a... *looks down at her notes* ...shrewd and dangerous indivigual."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren frowns as he watches the Ridarium leave. "Durran, I'd keep cameras following him constantly."
<Red_Fox> "You'll excuse me if I don't trust him."
<Kio> NRP: Wasn't that the Ridarium I was fighting, that said that?
<Shiva> Hardly the case, this runt here has nothing on me.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Nope, this was the ambassador
<Kio> NRP: <DeathStar> <Ridarium> REVENGE. SOON...we thinking different comments?
* Xanatos`Durran nods. "I'll do that." He moves off and pulls up his comm, informing Cass that she should watch the Ridarium Ambassador at all times.
* Ariel sorta... flops in her seat. This was going to be a long day.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr flops down next to Ariel. "Hi."
<Red_Fox> NRP: Ahh... alright. Ignore the revenge line then
<Chad`Winters> I believe you meant individual. Define what you mean by shrewd and dangerous.
* Kio rubs his face. 14"Hah..I still see the security team loves you Warren."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... ? 6He pauses, considering this. "Oh?"
<Red_Fox> "There's no-one I'd trust in command more than Warren."
<Kio> 14"..you're sort of blind to some..obvious feelings arn't you?'
<Red_Fox> "..."
<Ceres> Elayne> "We need a dictionary Mr. Winters>"
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Red_Fox> NRP: EXACT same line. :D
<DeathStar> NRP: ;)
<Kio> 14"..WHOA..not talking sexual or anything..just yanno..respect wise!"
<Ariel> "Have you been surviving this ordeal, Zephy?"
<Chad`Winters> No, I need you to what you're referring to in events. If you're saying I'm dangerous in the context that I can harm another, then yes, I'm trained properly in that regards.
<Red_Fox> "How did the match go, anyway?"
<Ceres> Elayne> "You are still highly talked about as the man responsible for General Venerator's death. The public, according to our polls, wonders greatly why you've been allowed to continue working here and haven't been sent to a Penal Colony."
<Kio> 14"Well, I beat on him till my whole body was soar..and stuck him in the floor"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I have decided that reporters are more dangerous than any other creature in the universe.
<Red_Fox> "You did well, then."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rubs his chin as he stands there, considering something.
* Cassandra_Arawaka watches the monitors...
* Kio eyes Warren. 14"Yeah but the floor doesn't share the optism..what are you thinking about Warren?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Nothing. 6He drops his hand.
* Ariel laughs a little, "Possibly. I have to wonder why that one in particular is not incarcerated yet."
<Chad`Winters> I can deny the actions that have happened in the past and the part that I have played. I can only work towards the better of mankind in hopes that someday I may redeem myself and I believe I'm on the right path, otherwise EarthGov, or Janus to be more specific wouldn't be buying up all my designs.
<Chad`Winters> NRP Can't.
<Shiva> <Loki> Oh I have plenty on you Sevintes, *a coin emerges from under his sleeve and into his palm, where he begins to roll it across his knuckles*
<Shiva> <Loki> And I on you, Loki my dear friend.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches Loki threaten himself.
<Shiva> NRP: Minus Loki.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It is good to see you back, Lt. Akai. The station has gone by many years without you. 6He says after a moment.
<Red_Fox> "It's good to be back.. but it's changed a lot."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<Kio> 14"..right."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina crosses her legs, looking at Loki and Shiva.
<Ceres> Elayne> "There are many who believe this current change of heart is merely a fascade to escape punishment, what do you say to that Mr. Winters?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> It might have been a good career move to leave PAX when you did, though.
<Shiva> <Loki> *he turns his head back to Kat, tilting it* So what do you do for fun?
<Kio> 2He says, not believing a word of his "nothing". 14"Hmm, don't think I've ever been properly introduced to the doc here"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Drinking, fighting, and sex. 6She says with a serious face.
<DeathStar> NRP: That's not the doctor. ;)
<Kio> NRP: I know
<Shiva> <Loki> But it seems you're lacking in one of those as of late.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And which is that?
<Chad`Winters> I say that there is no fascade.
<Red_Fox> "Well.. maybe. I feel bad about not being there to help, but you've done alright on your own."
<Kio> 14"Can't say he's been alone..he's sorta been backed by his loyal troupe"
<Red_Fox> "That reminds me, how is everyone? I notice more than a few new faces."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Older. More tired.
<Red_Fox> "That makes sense."
<Shiva> <Loki> *flicks his wrist, launching the coin in the air, he catches it and opens his palm, eyeing it* I'd say the sex part is in tie with the fighting part.
<Kio> 14"Easier for you to say..I'm only 20.." 2He stares blankly at Warren
<Red_Fox> NRP: Half the cast joined after I left
<DeathStar> <Warren> Of course. Only 20.
<Ceres> Elayne> "Do you remember the event you're so notorious for, Mr. Winters?"
<Kio> 14"..*only* 20? What, you calling me a liar?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> I merely repeat your words.
<Chad`Winters> Only what I've seen from the security cameras and what I've read in the logs.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh really?
<Kio> 14"Bah"
<Shiva> *shakes his head at Loki*
<Shiva> <Loki> It's hard to tell sometimes, the flip of a coin can only land three ways.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lt. Akai, though this may be the last few months of PAX, I do believe the Commodore is looking to bring another full time security agent in. 6He says, moving away. "Good day."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Either side or it's edge, correct?
<Kio> 14"Hmm..it seems he likes ya"
<Shiva> <Loki> Smart. I like that in a woman.
<Red_Fox> "Then I'll do what I have to to keep it alive."
* Red_Fox heads off too
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits beside Ariel. "I hear you had an encounter with the stone man."
<Ceres> Elayne> "Very well, thank you for your time Mr. Winters, it's good to find at least one member of this staff willing to take the time for the people."
<Kio> 14"Right" 2He moves back down the hallway
* Ariel nods, "He was harassing Zephyr."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Bad move for him. She could make him pebbles.
<Chad`Winters> And I can look forward to seeing this un-edited and aired, or was it not what you were truely looking for?
<Ceres> Elayne> "Mr. Winters, you must know that saying that doesn't guarantee anything, we have static to remove, background noise to filter out, you know, the usual."
<Shiva> <Loki> *flips his coin again, catching it* So you enjoy Ti'rexian ale.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into his quarters, going over the datapad.
* Red_Fox heads to the security room to watch the proceedings
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tilts her head. "Not bad."
* Ariel shakes her head, "What sort of an ambassador picks on childern? If this is the representative of their race..."
* Jackieness has joined #taw
<Chad`Winters> Or in other words the truth. A pity that you'd waste such talents on slander and schmeer campaigns.
<Shiva> Well, the coin rarely lies.
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (Nick kill enforced)))
<Shiva> <Loki> That it doesn't, does it Shiva.
* Jackieness` has joined #taw
* Cassandra_Arawaka has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at the coin, then back at Loki. "Depends on the trick."
<Ceres> Elayne> "We always report the facts, we're ENN, after all, Earth's most trusted news source."
<DeathStar> NRP: And now, time for the finale part!
* Arhn has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> Stardate: That night when the news plays...
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station
* Akane`Tendou has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits at his desk, glancing at the holovid as the news begins to play. Warren finds himself in the room, doing the same thing.
<Shiva> <Loki> *is seen wandering through the halls, a mischevious smile on his face*
* Jackieness__ has joined #taw
* Chad`Winters watches the news from his terminal in the Hanger.
<Ceres> *The ENN logo hits the screen, with the words "SPECIAL REPORT" underneath, the voice chimes in, "ENN, Earth's Most Important News Network!"
* Red_Fox also watches, from her quarters, a little tiredly
* Xanatos`Durran sits in Kats room, waiting for all the slandeer on the news.
* Jackieness__ has quit IRC (Quit: See ya!)
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his fingers on the desk.
* `Cole is asleep right now, oddly.
* Kio was in the security office, fiddling with a pen. He really didn't care for the News.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina is wearing one of Xanatos' shirts as she lays in her bed.
* Ariel just sighs, as she heard the report start, wishing someone would turn off the TV
<Xanatos`Durran> You enjoy your day? *he asks while waiting on the news*
<Ceres> *The show opens with an overview of the days events, flashes of the fights, Darien threatening Red, Elayne discussing the various and seemingly "obvious" attempts by staff to ebe uncooperative.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien reaches under his desk, pulling out a bottle of whiskey, figuring he'll need it.
* Jackieness` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Jackie keeps dying!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not really. Though meeting Shiva's business partner was a lot of fun.
<Red_Fox> "... ugh... the bastards..."
* Akane`Tendou has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Red_Fox reaches for a drink. Something hard.
<Ceres> *There's quite a bit of focus on covering Kat's, Darien's, and Warren's backstories. Especially recapping teh footage from Vennie's death.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien opens the bottle and begins to drink it, opening his military vest some.
* Akane`Tendou has joined #taw
<Xanatos`Durran> Haven't talked to him yet. But I think I will now. *he comments under his breath as he watches the news*
* Akane`Tendou is now known as Cassandra_Arawaka
* Chad`Winters watches the footage, having watched the footage so many times it he narrate it in his sleep.
<Cassandra_Arawaka> NRP: Not happy!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina snorts as they cover her.
<Ceres> *Chad's interview plays, in full, completely unedited, but somehow, they turn it around, using Chad's poor reputation to make the others look even worse for not interviewing.
* Jackieness` has joined #taw
* Jackieness` is now known as Jackieness
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Client closed connection)
<Cassandra_Arawaka> NRP: ...this is pissing me off!
<DeathStar> NRP: Eep
<Kio> NRP: *pats*
<DeathStar> NRP: *pats with no hands*
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: *giggles with glee*
<DeathStar> <Darien> I hate that bitch. 6He says darkly, throwing back some of the whiskey and letting it burn.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs. "I'm so glad I avoided her."
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<Ceres> *The newscasters and experts all blame the president, and the politcal party opposing Cran, for everything.
* Red_Fox glares, taking a swig of her spirits. "I should make a ENN drinking game. One drink every time they spout bullshit."
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL
<DeathStar> NRP: *they find Fox dead from alcohol poisoning*
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: ENN kinda reminds me of FOX News.
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Quite so.
<Red_Fox> NRP: LOL
<Ceres> *Next, the shocking feature, the interview with the Ridarian ambassador.
* Kio yawns, not really bothered by news playing in the background. 14"Hmn..I don't see the big deal..everyones hates us anyway..not really a big change in scenary there.."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren doesn't drink. He just watches boredly.
* Ceres is definately drinking, glad she was hiding.
<DeathStar> 6* The Ridarium Ambassador nods approvingly in his room
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hears the interview, then drowns half the bottle right there, making a face at the taste.
<Ceres> *Live polls show a heavy agreement with the interview by Earth's viewership, there's even an alien poll which is also amazingly on ENN's side.
<Xanatos`Durran> I do believe PAX is as good as fucked. And not in that hot sexual way either.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Trenton certainly hates us, I'll give her that.
<Ceres> "I rememebr reading... Warren did pull a gun on her."
* Jackieness is now known as Arhn
<Ceres> "...Pity he didn't shoot her."
<Arhn> ...I want this reporter...killed...
<Shiva> NRP: *on a side note the polls have a %100 margin of error.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Red_Fox> "You... fucking BASTARDS!"
<DeathStar> NRP: *Warren hears her command and goes off to kill Elayne*
<Ceres> *Elayne ends the story with a long, serious note on teh importance of change, letting go of old hatreds and beleifs and moving toward a peaceful future that hopefully, a strong leadership will bring.
<Red_Fox> "WE HAVE A STRONG LEADERSHIP, BITCH!"
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *everyone stares at Red Fox, who apparently is drunk already*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up, obviously drunk now. "Fuck you!" 6He gives the holovid the finger, then stumbles out of his office drunk. He begins to drown more of the bottle, giving a Ridarium the finger as he walks by
<Ceres> *There was even a slight concern raised in teh interview about children being allowed to run about a military facility unsupervised.
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL. Oh My God.
<DeathStar> NRP: You people act like Zephyr is 8
* Red_Fox takes another deep swig, pissed off
<Xanatos`Durran> nRP: I never did.
<Shiva> <Loki> *stops, looking aorund oddly, he then resumes his walk*
<Red_Fox> NRP: Neither did I!
<Ceres> NRP: Techncially, she's 9.
<Ceres> NRP: ZING!
<DeathStar> NRP: And so is Cheryl, by that logic.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: But her physical body is much older, everyone knew that you tard.
<Ceres> NRP: I know :D
<Xanatos`Durran> nRP: *Stabs*
<DeathStar> NRP: Yeah, physically she's 18
<Ceres> NRP: As is Sera :P
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: DS I think it is official. Every session, I get into an argument with my girlfriend. *shakes his fist at the evil RPG*
<DeathStar> NRP: I knew it
* Ceres sighs, rubbing her face
<Ceres> "That DEMONESS."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks down the hallway, drinking his bottle. He leans against a wall. "God, why am I here..."
<Ceres> *The report questioned that a lot.
<Shiva> <Loki> *walks around the corner eyeing Darien.* Commodore...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Loki. "Welsh, hello."
* Red_Fox decides to take a walk to clear her head.
<Ceres> *ENN goes on about this after the interview for some time, random civilians being asked thier feelings, everyone's getting very negative about PAX.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien straightens up, holding his bottle in hand still. He takes another swig.
<Shiva> <Loki> Well I don't need a coin to tell if your drunk. I take it the News reporter went sour? *he reaches his hand out for a swig*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hands him the bottle. "They say no publicity is bad." 6He laughs at the absurdity of it.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns off the news report, and promptly goes to sleep, not even bothered.
* Red_Fox heads over also, swigging again from her bottle, obviously pissed off
* Shiva takes a swig, coughing. 1"Not if you have a good PR agent who can turn a terrorist into a Martyr...Or the other way around. *he says as if hinting at something*
<Shiva> NRP: Loki
* Shiva is now known as Loki
<Red_Fox> "Did you hear what that walking pile of crap said about us?"
* Loki is now known as Loki`
<Red_Fox> "... yeah, sounds like it..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll hire him. 6He says with a nod, then looks at Fox. "I especially like the part where we abuse children."
<Red_Fox> "Tell me again why she hasn't been shot yet."
* Loki` leans in towards Darien, handing him his bottle back. 1"You know shit spreading can go both ways, right?
<Red_Fox> "I like that thought."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes the bottle, drowning some of it. "Tell me more." 6He throws an arm around Loki, pointing at him. "I like howsh you think.:
<Loki`> They say a little money goes a long way if it finds the right pockets.
<Red_Fox> "And you've got enough?"
* Loki` looks at Red Fox then at Darien. 1"Perhaps in private.
* Kio steps out of the security office, stretching
<Red_Fox> "Fine, leave the PAX veteran out of it."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods. "We'll meet tomorrow. Yeah." 6He pats him on the back. "I gotta go see a girl." 6He stumbles down the hallway, sipping his drink.
* Loki` grabs Darien by the collar, stopping him and turning him back around. He adusts his uniform, he then flips his coin. 1"A lady like Ariel deserves a good looking man.
* Cassandra_Arawaka is taking another shower...this entire day has left her feeling dirty...damn politics.
* Ceres sighs and sits back, trying to think of what to do
<Chad`Winters> Interesting indeed.
* Xanatos`Durran glances over at Kat after he had turned the holo-vid off. "I bet Darien is pretty shit-faced by now."
<Red_Fox> "They're still together?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns back around, standing not quite straight. "Oh?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't blame him.
<Loki`> Of course. *he tilts Darien's head to the side then straightens it out* Be smooth like a silk leotard.
* Xanatos`Durran nods. "I've came to the conclusion that taking is position in PAX has literally destroyed all of my chances for promotions and the like."
<Red_Fox> "Glad to hear it."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: He was talking to DS.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds up a bottle, then goes off in search for Ariel.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You could transfer, if you wanted.
* Loki` turns around, facing Red Fox. 1"And who is this slim figured lady before me?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stumbles into the lounge, holding up the bottle to Ariel. "Ariel, how are you?" 6He collapses into the seat next to her.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes Katrina. "You know thats not my style. If i'm going to do something, I might as well stick with it."
* Ariel opens her eyes just in time to see Darien start to fall, and half jumps. "D-darien..?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't think anyone would blame you if you wanted to think about career. Darien has been lately. He never intended to remain here past finding Warren.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hi. I was thinking...me and you...we should do something... 6He takes a swallow from the bottle.
<Red_Fox> "Oh, I never introduced myself. Stella Akai, or Red Fox."
<Loki`> Loki Ulrich, a pleasure to meet you. *he reaches his hand out*
* Ariel frowns, "You... you're drunk..."
* Red_Fox shakes Loki's hand.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Naaah...justsh a little...tipsy. 6He takes another swallow, leaning back in his seat. "A lot."
<Red_Fox> "When did you join? I don't think I know anyone who joined after Darien.."
<Xanatos`Durran> I actually need to talk to Darien. I'm not even sure what my options are.
<Loki`> Oh you aren't a very observant one, I'm not part of PAX persay, I'm a member of The Cartel.
<Red_Fox> "That explains the money thing."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You could get a job doing flight duty somewhere. Which is what you were meant for - when's the last time you actually flew, Xan?
* Red_Fox has obviously been drinking
* Ceres sighs and sits back, looking at somethign on her datapad... "Oh well... maybe I'll go freelance after this..."
<Ariel> "You... you shouldn't be hurting yourself over this..."
* Ariel can't blaim him though...
<Loki`> I'm just good at reading the future you could say. It helps when you're investing.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien makes a pfft sound with his lips, waving his hand. "I'm not bothered. Nah. Everything falling down around me." 6He takes another swallow of his bottle. "Career suicide being here." 6He sits there, staring off into space.
<Red_Fox> "Can't help feeling that I should never have left..."
* Kio stops in front of Cass's room, havn't really not been able to talk to her in a while. He whistled once, and knocked.
<Cassandra_Arawaka> Coming!
* Cassandra_Arawaka opens the door, wrapped in a towel and wet again.
<Kio> 14"..Modesty is not part of your personality..is it?"
* Xanatos`Durran yawns and stretches, moving his arm to scratch his side as he thinks. "It has been quite some time. Theres the occassional flight to make sure my shuttle isn't crapped out, but other than that. It is guard duty."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Are you happy here, Xanatos?
<Red_Fox> "Y'know... I don't know what I'm going to do if PAX goes down..."
<Ceres> *Elsiah sits back, lighting a smoke and sighing, "Can't wait... might get soemthign better then guard duty after this fiasco..."
<Cassandra_Arawaka> Not really, no...
* Loki` flips his coin again, catching it. 1"Perhaps a job within The Cartel, the pay is quite good.
<Red_Fox> "If things go bad... I probably will."
* Ariel frowns, taking a breath to try to steady herself. "I cannot believe that what she does is legal here."
* Loki` flicks his wrist and a business card appears in his right hand, he hands it ot her.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles, "I wasn't, but now that you're here and I get to spend my nights with you. I couldn't be any more happier."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien snorts. "Forget about her. She'll get her own one day." 6He looks at Ariel. "Whatdya say about flying down to the colony and having fun?"
<Kio> 14"Figure'd I'd drop by, havn't really been able to get in touch with you since the whole..war criminal..thing. Care to bullshit around, forget about the lousy reporter, and so on and so forth?"
* Red_Fox takes the card. "Thanks. I'll see you around?"
<Cassandra_Arawaka> Sure, come on in.
<Ariel> "I don't think you're in the condition to be going anywheres..."
<Red_Fox> "Come to think of it, it's not like I have anywhere to go right now.."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Nonsense. 6He waves his hand, standing up wobbily. "Come on, letsh go."
<Red_Fox> "I'd head back, but I'm still too pissed to sleep."
* Loki` gives her a warm smile. 1"See where this takes you, it's good to know you have options if things go wrong.
* Kio moves in, glancing around at the decor. 14"Yeah..sorry about that by the way, didn't give you a hellova lot of forewarning on that little endevor.."
<Red_Fox> NRP: I love the double meaning there ^^;
<Red_Fox> "Right."
<Cassandra_Arawaka> Pity...would have given you a going away roll in the hay...
<Ariel> "...you can barely walk."
* Kio laughs. 14"That might have made me stay"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien swallows another chug from the bottle. "I can do a lot more than walk." 6He takes a few steps, then falls backwards onto the floor, landing on his butt. "Ouch."
* Ariel gets up quietly, and helps Darien up. "...you should probally rest."
<Cassandra_Arawaka> Ohhhhhh?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans on Ariel. "You sure are pretty..." 6He tells her, trying to bring the bottle to his lips
<Kio> 14"Sides, we got all the time in the world now to make up for lost times"
<Ariel> "You are very intoxicated."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Quite so.
<Loki`> I believe I need to continue on my way, it was a pleasure Miss Akai.
<Cassandra_Arawaka> Sure... *drops her towel*
<Red_Fox> "See you around."
<Cassandra_Arawaka> NRP: plays porn music :p
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL.
<Red_Fox> "Or maybe goodbye.. but I hope not."
* Red_Fox heads off too
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina laughs, straddling him on the bed. "Is that so?"
* Ariel trys to get Darien back to his quarters. She fears to think where he might end up if left unsupervised.
<Xanatos`Durran> If I was lying, then I believe you'd be the first to know. *he smiles at her*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien ends up at his room, taking three tries to unlock it. "There we goesh."
* Ceres sighs and starts heading to bed, wondering idly about her own boyfriend, and what he's up to.
* Red_Fox wanders for now, considering the offer
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: John would go apeshit if he heard someone call him a boyfriend.
<DeathStar> NRP: It's true
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina reaches over, turning out the lights as he leans over to kiss him. Cue, the porn music from Cass' room.
* Kio gives a low chuckle at her movements. 14"I missed you by the way.." 2He moved to wrap his arms around her, drawing her into a passionate kiss that lasted only seconds.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: She really should do that, next time.
<DeathStar> NRP: John would freak out and run off.
<Ariel> "...are you going to be okay?"
* Chad`Winters leans back in his chair, eyeing space.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, moving into his room and letting the bottle drop onto his table. "Sure..." 6He falls right onto his bed, going to sleep.
* Cassandra_Arawaka kisses him back and draws him to her bed...
<Cassandra_Arawaka> NRP: And that is all we can say there.
<Kio> NRP: I have a secret weapon against John
<DeathStar> NRP: *notes that PAX gets an XXX rating*
<Kio> NRP:..cept I'd look gay
* Red_Fox heads back to her quarters after a while
* `Cole sleeps peacefully in hihs bed. Like a good guard that doesn't have sex or get into trouble.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Or get drunk
<DeathStar> Session Ends
Session Close: Mon May 08 23:46:35 2006
