* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20060523.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.10.1
* Jackieness is now known as Arhn
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station
* Cassandra_Arakawa has joined #taw
* `Cole has joined #taw
* Chad`Winters lays under a shuttle, his legs sticking out
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *sits on a roller chair, her legs kicking as she watches Chad from her spot*
* Xanatos`Durran is in the training room, fighting with the punching bag.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *the punching bag punches back, dropping Xanatos*
* `Cole is sitting in the observation deck, strumming his guitar.
* Cassandra_Arakawa is also in the training room, doing some stretches.
<Chad`Winters> 6Several sparks suddenly erupt from under the shuttle followed by a one loud curse
* Kio was currently in the security office, on duty.
<DeathStar> NRP: WAS. eh? So, where are you NOW?
* Ariel enters the observation deck, with a datapad under one arm. She pauses, seeing Cole, and nods to him.
<Kio> 2Er..Is!
* `Cole nods his head lightly, his strumming stopping. "Hello Miss Ariel."
<DeathStar> 6* An unidentified ship begins to approach the station, according to sensors.
* Arhn is currently taking a wak through the station's corridors.
* Xanatos`Durran stops lightly and glances over at Cassandra. "Who would have thought that a tight-ass like you could be so wild." He smirks.
* Kio glances down at the monitors, seeing the unindentifed ship. He attempts to open a commication line. 14"Please State your name and business"
* Chad`Winters slides out from under the shuttle and pushes himself into a stand, he looks over at Shiva. 1"And how long have you been sitting there?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Long enough to get a laugh.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship doesn't respond. At it's current speed, it'll within the station in 4 minute
* Kio opens a communication line to Darien. 14"Hey, are we expecting visitors?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Like they say, the colder they are, the hotter they sizzle. *rolls forward into a perfect handstand*
<DeathStar> 6* There is no response from Darien, who is currently not on the station
<Ariel> "Hello." *takes a seat* "Was that a particular song you were playing?"
<Chad`Winters> Brilliant...*he says flatly*
* `Cole shakes his head. "No, I was just letting my fingers roam on their own."
* Kio rubs his face, then checks the schedule for any visitors.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is in the cafeteria, eating a salad in silence.
<DeathStar> 6* There is no scheduled visitors.
* Kio powers up the stations weapons and shields, if any.. 14"Identify yourself..now!"
* Xanatos`Durran chuckles, "If you would have mentioned your wild side, I'm sure I would have been more cooperative when you first got promoted."
<DeathStar> 6* Alarms begin to go off, since he's accessing those programs. Warren glances up from his salaad.
<DeathStar> 6* 3 minutes until arrival now.
* Xanatos`Durran glances up, "Who's accessing the weapons?"
* Chad`Winters glances up at the alarm. 1"...." 6He walks over to his terminal and begins typing on it, bringing up the stations sensors to see what's going on.
* Kio growls, opening up a line to Cassandra. 14"There is an unidentified shuttle quickly approaching..refuses to respond..orders?"
<Ariel> NRP: Is that alarms all over the station, or just certain areas?
<DeathStar> NRP: All over.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* Does it have an IFF signal?
<Kio> 14"..It wouldn't be unidentified if it did now would it?"
<DeathStar> 6* 2 minutes until arrival now.
* Kio checks for signatures, just in case
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* See if it is maneuvering for a landing. If it is, cleaer the hangar area and have a security team standby. Scan it for explosives first, if it has anything volatile, fire a warning shot.
* `Cole arches a brow as he hears the alarms "That doesn't sound good."
<Ariel> *c* "What's the situation?"
<Chad`Winters> What the hell....
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> What's going on?!
<Kio> 14"..I say shoot it down, but whatever..your call" 2He checks the shuttles movements, seeing if it's reducing speed..or keeps on going.
<Xanatos`Durran> I guess that is my cue. *he moves over and heads towards the hanger*
<DeathStar> 6* Right now they are just heading for the station with no deviationto their course
<DeathStar> 6* 1 minute until arrival now.
<Kio> 2No slowing of speed..nothing?
<Chad`Winters> There's a shuttle on course for the station, and it's not slowing down.
<DeathStar> 6* No. Deviation.
<Kio> 14"It's not turning off..it's keeping it's course!"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* Fire a warning shot.
<Kio> 14"It's already a minute till collision..we don't have time!"
<DeathStar> 6* 30 seconds until arrival now.
* `Cole watches Ariel, seeing that no one is answering her. "It seems they are all busy,"
<Kio> 14"30 second! Still no change!"
* Kio holds his finger over the fire button, boy cass better respond soon..or he's pressing it NOW.
<Chad`Winters> Jesus christ...What the hell are they doing up there.
<DeathStar> 6* 20 seconds until arrival now.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: She uh....said fire.
<Kio> NRP: A warning shot
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Eh, fire.
<DeathStar> 6* 10 seconds until arrival now.
* Kio sighs and fires off a warning shot, and if still no respond..fires at the damn shuttle.
<Kio> *response*
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the hall that leads toward the hanger.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* Take it down.
<DeathStar> 6* The warning shot is quite useless now as they're so close it just misses anyway. It's too late. They're all doomed.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle stops a few meters away from the floor where Kio is currently on, hovering there.
<Chad`Winters> ....*looks back at the terminal* It should've collided...
* Kio growls. 14"If you said that like 4 minutes ago..we wouldn't have that problem..it stopped completely!"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* Then its no problem then.
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the hanger. "Uhhh where'd the crazy shuttle go?"
* Ariel glances to Cole, "Something is up." She heads to security to find out what's up.
<Chad`Winters> It stopped outside the Security Room floor.
* `Cole watches Ariel, leave. He stands and follows after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Kio vanishes in a teleporter beam. The ship, being so close, managed to get within the shield range.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes Chad. "I wonder who it could be."
<DeathStar> 6* The ship turns around and begins to fly away.
<Kio> 2Uhh..is teleported?
<Chad`Winters> ...*stares at Xanatos blankly, then looks down at his terminal, watching the shuttle take off right away*
* Cassandra_Arakawa heading for the security office.
* Xanatos`Durran pulls up his Comm, "Cassandra, what is going on?"
* Ariel enters security, "What's going on?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* I'm just arriving at the security office...Kio isn't here...the shuttle is not on the screens anymore.
* `Cole steps in behind Ariel. He eyes Cassandra.
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm: Orders?
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* Hold on... *checks the security logs to see where Kio went*
<DeathStar> 6* They just show him vanishing in a beam of light that's a ship teleporter.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* Hell! Kio got abducted!
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm: Abducted? By who?
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *crosses her arms* So...? *she looks around confused as can be*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren continues to eat his salad, the red alert seeming to be over.
* `Cole moves over to his desk that he rarely uses and tries to pull up a video feed of the shuttle.
* Ariel moves to a console, and checks what information they could get on that ship and it's course... if it'll let her this time.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* That's what we ened to find out... *runs the video feed from the log into the computer, trying to get a match on the shuttle*
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Chad. "Kio...got abducted..." He shrugs.
<DeathStar> 6* It's a bizzare shuttle. Who knows where it comes from. It could even be cobbled together from parts.
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy ship finally reaches the Sol Jump Gate and leaps through it into hyperspace.
* Chad`Winters tilts his head. 1"Huh?"
<`Cole> Thats definitely a wierd looking shuttle.
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs, shaking his head. "I have no idea."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *looks down at her datapad as it beeps. She picks it up and looks at it then begins reading something*
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* ...I've got no matches on that shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* The console could easily give the projected course, since most of Sol has security devices in it.
* Xanatos`Durran pulls up his comm, "If they plan on going anywhere useful they'll be using the warp gate. Try to get a lock on the last coords entered into it."
* Cassandra_Arakawa tries to find out if the Sol jumpgate can give an idea where the thing jumped to...
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> That's just...odd.
<Ariel> "...I don't suppose we have any fast vessels out there that could intercept?"
<DeathStar> 6* Of course. Using the jump gate gives exact locations.
* `Cole stands there looking at his console, trying to see if anything on the shuttle looks familiar to him.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> *c* Get a shuttle ready...we're pulling a rescue op. I've got the coordinates.
<Chad`Winters> We can follow the jump gate locations straight to their home galaxy.
<Xanatos`Durran> Comm: Doing it now.
<Xanatos`Durran> Orders are orders.
* Xanatos`Durran glances around at the shuttles. "Whats the fastest one, Chad?"
* Cassandra_Arakawa then goes into the armory ot suit up...
* Chad`Winters taps onto his datapad a black shuttle begins powering up
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *scratches her head* Now why would someone steal outdated Mercury Class ships....
<Chad`Winters> We'll have to move quick...*he looks over at Shiva* Recently?
* Xanatos`Durran moves over to the black shuttle and opens the ramp, walking up and going over to the pilot seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren chews his salad carefully.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Yeah...apparently so.
* Cassandra_Arakawa heads for the hangar at a run, and right up the ramp of the black shuttle. She then thrusts a datapad at Xanatos.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Coordinates. Get them logged in and get us going.
* Chad`Winters moves over to the black shuttle, dragging Shiva with him.
* Xanatos`Durran pulls up his comm, "Hey Warren, Kio got thimself abducted, wanna join in on the fun?"
* `Cole is not far behind Cassandra, moving up the ramp.
* Xanatos`Durran begins to get the coordinates entered and ready to go.
* Chad`Winters pauses staring at Xanatos. 1"What the hell do you think you're doing?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I cannot leave the Ambassador unguarded. 6He says into his comm.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> We don't have time to wait for anyone else. And the fewer people, the better...
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Chad. "Flying this thing." He glances at his comm, he had expected that answer.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *stumbles up the ramp and next to Cass, she glances down looking at the location* Hey....I know that thing.
<Chad`Winters> *scoffs* You're kidding me.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes Chad. "What?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> That's....That's where Lady Arhn, Warren and myself were brought to when we were kidnapped.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Get us out of here. *then looks at Shiva* ...what?
* Ariel steps onto the shuttle subtley, sick of just doing diplomat work.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Well the jump gate is...The planet is nearby.
* Xanatos`Durran closes the ramp and lifts the shuttle up, blasting out of the hanger.
* Chad`Winters moves over to the co-pilots seat and buckles in. 1"Do you even know how to fly anymore?
<Xanatos`Durran> I'll just have to learn all over again, now wont I? *he thrusts forward toward the warp gate, sending the jump coordinates.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> No such thing as coincidences...
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> And where Kio subsequently shot me.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Ya know....Let's just leave him there.
* `Cole glances at Shiva. "Kio shot you?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> It was an accident.
<DeathStar> 6* And so, time passes as they fly onward through hyperspace....
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I believe it's customary to apologize for an accident.
<Xanatos`Durran> I like shooting people. Wish I could do that right now. *he states as he sits there flying the shuttle*
<Kio> NRP: Oh, he only apoligized when he got back to the station..but apparantly she ignored him :P
<Chad`Winters> NRP: don't remember.
<Kio> NRP: I do, oh well though
* Xanatos`Durran checks to see the how much longer they have in hyperspace.
<DeathStar> 6* About 10 minutes.
<Xanatos`Durran> 10 Minutes till we leave hyperspace. Anyone know how to give a good backrup? My back is so tense.
<Ariel> "..."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Xanatos through the corner of his eye.
* `Cole just looks at Xanatos. "Isn't he supposed to be angry and brooding.
* Xanatos`Durran glances around at everyone, "Oh, so a guy lightens up some and hes all of a sudden weird?"
<Xanatos`Durran> ...
<Xanatos`Durran> Ok, fuck you all. I'll be quiet now.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You should brood longer.
<Xanatos`Durran> Don't worry Shiva. If I accidently shoot you in the back...of the head...i'll apologize I promise.
* `Cole stares at Xanatos, he glances at Shiva to see the expression on her face.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Threatening an ambassador...a new low.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Enough...focus.
<Chad`Winters> You two are worse than kids.
<DeathStar> 6* They're about to exit. The warning light flashes.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles. "I'll be quiet if someone promise's to buy me a popsicle." He checks to see why the warning light flashes.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Unless it is just to inform them?
* Ariel just sighs.
<DeathStar> 6* They exit hyperspace --- and they are about to hit a wall of black. It's a damn Tsivrixsh battle cruiser.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> And I'm sure you'd only shut up until it was gone.
* Xanatos`Durran jerks the shuttle up, hoping to avoid the tsiv cruiser. "What the hell!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Without waiting for identification, the Tsivrixsh battle cruiser opens fire on them, sending a wall of green fire their way.
* Chad`Winters looks up, his hands reaching down for the controls. He instantly raises the shields.
<DeathStar> 6* The entire system is in a firefight, as Tsivrixsh fighters fight appear to be old crap model ships from Cartel, Erusians, Earth, and other races.
<DeathStar> (what appear)
* Xanatos`Durran jerks the shuttle around, aiming to get a little space from the firefight.
<Xanatos`Durran> Well i'll be damned.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh battle cruiser keeps firing their attacks at them, not letting up.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> What the hell is going on?!
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Those...Those are the shuttles that were stolen from The Cartel graveyards.
* Xanatos`Durran takes evasive manuevers, "We are being attacked, what the hell do you think!" He keeps going away from the cruiser, trying to get our of their attack range.
<DeathStar> 6* The further Durran flies away, the further from the jump gate, the system, and everyone else he gets.
<Ariel> "...what in the blessed light is happening here?"
* Chad`Winters slides his hand across the controls. 1"I believe a war."
* Xanatos`Durran moves the shuttle around so they can get a better look out of the battle. "Anyone see the shuttle that took Kio?"
<DeathStar> 6* They're too far away.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...I've seen about a dozen that looked like it...
<Chad`Winters> If you want to find hin, we need to go in.
* Xanatos`Durran starts moving closer, keeping check of sensors, "What the hell are we going to do Cassandra?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Most of those cruisers won't last long.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> What I want to know is why are a bunch of old scrapheaps fighting the Tsiv?
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh cruiser fires a beam into the battle, taking out a huge number of ships.
<Chad`Winters> A desperate attempt to survive.
* Xanatos`Durran glances a chad, "There anyway youo can get a trace of the shuttle that took Kio?"
<DeathStar> 6* Ten Tsivrixsh fighters head toward the PAX shuttle now.
<Chad`Winters> I doubt it unless someone scanned for the shuttles energy signal.
<Chad`Winters> We got ten bogeys coming in Durran.
<Xanatos`Durran> I see em. This thing have guns? *he preps for evasive manuevers, and keeps doing*
<Chad`Winters> No, I arm all my shuttles with bottle rockets.
<Xanatos`Durran> Use them, jackass! *he flips the shuttle around as he plummets down, leading the shuttles on.*
<Ariel> "As bad idea as it is normally to be firing on the Tsivrixsh, becoming fragmented by them is even less appealing."
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh fighters follow, getting locks onto the shuttle. They all fire guided missiles.
* `Cole grabs his chair and puts his safety belt on.
* Ariel grabs the firing controls, since no one else seems to want to, and opens fire at the incoming munitions
<Chad`Winters> These shuttles aren't designed for combat specifically.
<DeathStar> 6* While she manages to take out 3 missiles, the other 7 get through and hit their shuttle, taking out the shields and damaging parts of the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Warning alarms are going off.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...can we limp down to the planet...?
* Chad`Winters growls and begins typing on the console.
<Xanatos`Durran> Guided missles. Dirty little cheats. *he curses as their struck* Yeah you think, I'm getting out of here, fuck Kio.
<DeathStar> 6* They'll never reach the planet, since there's a battle between them and it.
* Xanatos`Durran redirects himself for the jump gate.
<Chad`Winters> We're not going to be able to sneak in.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh Cruiser is now between them and the jump gate, since he flew away from it. He's just flying closer to their death
* Xanatos`Durran flies up now, since the cruiser is between them. "Well damnit, I need some orders. Cassandra, have you froze or something?"
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh fighters are coming in again to finish them off.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Chad. "Do something. I can't outfly them in a wounded shuttle."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...I'm out of ideas...I'm not an aerospace commander...
<DeathStar> 6* The unknown vessels are getting wiped out. It seems it's only a matter of minutes before this fight is over.
<Chad`Winters> That's it...*taps on his console several small orbs drop out from behind them. He then pulls the controls over to his console and begins to spiral the shuttle in a tight arc.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh fighters predictablely follow.
* Xanatos`Durran pulls his arms up as Chad takes control.
<Chad`Winters> Get shields back online.
<Xanatos`Durran> Sure thing. *he gets to work, trying to pull the shields back up.*
<DeathStar> 6* There's nothing left to pull back.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh fighters activate the orbs, and suddenly a flash occurrs.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> They're burned out...we'd need a tech crew to replace them.
<Xanatos`Durran> No go. We get hit we are done for.
<Chad`Winters> *suddenly kills all power to the shuttle*
* Ariel finds herself squinting suddenly, as she was watching their aft
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* The wave hits their own shuttle and Ariel feels a jolt through her body, as if something just shut parts of her down.
<Chad`Winters> EMP.
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos' right eye goes out completely.
<DeathStar> 6* CAssandra's body is completely useless now.
* Xanatos`Durran hisses, "Well you just KO'd half out crew but we should leave now."
* Cassandra_Arakawa falls over like a rag doll...
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh fighters float dead in space around them.
<Chad`Winters> It's either that or we die. *he reaches under his console and presses a button*
* Ariel was more wincing than squinting then. "P... please... next time... you do that...? Warn us..."
<Chad`Winters> Sorry.
* `Cole unbuckles himself and moves over to pick up cassandra, he puts her in a seat and buckles her in. He moves back to sit down.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle powers back up, which gets the attention of the battle - it seems all the unknown vessels, but one, are destroyed. And a legion of fighters are coming for them.
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs, "Nice affect though. Real dramatic like." He checks sensors, "Jesus I can even count how many bogeys we have coming."
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra jerks back to life.
<DeathStar> 6* In about 20 seconds, it's game over for them.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Grrrk! DO NOT DO THAT AGAIN!
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Open a communication now.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Shiva. "To whom?"
<DeathStar> 6* 10 seconds.
* Chad`Winters taps the comm opeinng up a channel to the Tsiv Battlecruiser
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> This is Shiva Sevintes of The Cartel And PAX. We demand to talk to you're commander.
<DeathStar> <Voice> We do not take demands from those who side with scum. Prepare to die.
* Xanatos`Durran shakes his head. .oO( Oh god we're dead. )
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> We are only here to find out what happened to a kidnapped co-worker.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...tell them that these guys attacked us too...
<DeathStar> 6* The last unknown ship winks out of existence in an explosion
<Xanatos`Durran> I don't think we'll be finding Kio now.
<DeathStar> <Voice> If you are who you say you are, then you will not mind transmitting proper creditials.
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy fighters take up position around their shuttle, but aren't firing
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *pulls out her datapad and connects it to the console and begins to transmitthe credentials*
<DeathStar> 6* Time passes. Will they be destroyed..or not?
<DeathStar> 6* A new voice. "The Tsivrixsh acknowledges that you are a member of PAX. This is Tsivrixsh space. You will now leave."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You attacked us without warning. Atleast allow us to search for our kidnapped comrad.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Shiva.
<DeathStar> <New Voice> You will leave now or you will be destroyed for violating our space.
* Xanatos`Durran stares out at the remains of the battle.
<`Cole> I suggest we listen to the man Shiva.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> We were unaware of the recent changes in the Tsivrixsh territory expansion.
<DeathStar> <New Voice> You were warned. 6The Tsivrixsh fighters begin to power their weapons.
<Chad`Winters> We leave now. *begins to pilot the shuttle towards the jump gate*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> We will leave then.
<DeathStar> 6* The Tsivrixsh fighters fall into escort position as they all head for the jump gate.
* Xanatos`Durran is just sitting there thinking.
* Chad`Winters shuts off the comm.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> We can't leave Kio behind...
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...they'll kill him if they get him...
<Xanatos`Durran> He's dead already.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> You're making assumptions...
<Chad`Winters> I'm not risking anyones lifes for someone we dont' know if alive. We're leaving now.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> But...
<Xanatos`Durran> Didn't you see the way that last shuttle was being piloted?
<Xanatos`Durran> It was much better than the others.
<DeathStar> 6* They are nearing the Jump Gate now.
<Chad`Winters> Look, there's no way we can make it past the their Battle Cruiser, not in thisdamaged shuttle.
<Ariel> "We are not left with many options."
* Xanatos`Durran looks back. "I'm sorry Cassandra. But he's dead."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...fine...take us...home...
* Chad`Winters sends the signal to the Jump Gate and reaches down to activate the hyper drives
<DeathStar> 6* His signal isn't accepted. The Jump Gate opens as something else is coming through
* Xanatos`Durran arches a brow. "What is that?"
<DeathStar> 6* A gear flies right through the gate, a Janus prototype model that was listed as stolen by a group of terrorists a few months ago.
* Xanatos`Durran looks over at Chad.
* Chad`Winters stops the shuttle before the Jumpgate. 1"What in the.."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Interesting....
<Xanatos`Durran> Readings say it is a stolen Janus prototype. Thats your model isn't it?
<DeathStar> 6* The Gear zooms right past everyone and heads right into the wreckage. The fighters veer off escort position to chase it
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Who would steal a Janus shuttle...? John McCormick?
<DeathStar> 6* It seems the PAX shuttle is being completely ignored as even the cruiser is firing at the gear. The fighters are trying to flank it as it moves about, never engaging and just zipping along looking through the wreckage.
<Chad`Winters> It may have been...It flew by too quick.
<Xanatos`Durran> ....So, we just going to sit here and watch?
* Seraphna is now known as Gabby
* Chad`Winters looks over and checks the shields to see if they'll power up.
<DeathStar> 6* They need repairs.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> We're still in poor condition...
<Chad`Winters> That cruiser will wipe us out in one shot.
<Xanatos`Durran> Lets him handle it. He knows what he is doing. We need to return and lick our wounds.
<DeathStar> 6* The cruiser begins to pull away to try to blast the gear away.
* Gabby is now known as Seraphna
* Seraphna is now known as Ceres
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ceres
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Take us through the gate then.
<Chad`Winters> Wait for it...
<DeathStar> 6* The Gear keeps flying around like a retard.
<DeathStar> 6*A piece of wreckage comes to life - and the unknown shuttle flies right for the Gate.
* Chad`Winters 's taps his console, sending the coordinates to the gate.
<DeathStar> 6* The Jump Gate comes to life.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Well well...look at this...
<DeathStar> 6* The Cruiser, realizing the ploy, tries to turn into firing position to hit the gate.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Get us through now!
* Chad`Winters heads through the gate, not waiting any longer
<DeathStar> 6* The unknown ship passes them, heading right into the gate.
<DeathStar> 6* They all enter hypersapce.
<DeathStar> 6* Time passes...
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station
<DeathStar> 6* Both shuttles are now back in the hanger.
* Kio blew his engines, and opens the shoddy shuttle, smoke rolling out from the insides.
<DeathStar> 6* Narls run around the hanger, grabbing things and stealing them.
* Xanatos`Durran opens the ramp to their shuttle.
* Cassandra_Arakawa leaps out of the shuttle as soon as the ramp lowers and runs to the other shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren enters the hanger, glancing at the Narls, shaking his head to himself.
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms. 1"Get them out of my hanger!
* `Cole steps down the ramp and eyes the Narls. "What are they?"
* Kio leaps down the ramp, which falls off as a result of Kio's weight. 14"Hell..I think that was the craziest shit I ever did in a pilot seats.."
<Kio> *pilot seat*
<Ariel> "...can someone explain to me what that was all about?"
<DeathStar> 6* The entire unknown shuttle falls apart behind Kio, leaving nothing but panels behind.
* Kio raises his voice to the Narl, speaking in Tsivrixsh. 14"Put the stuff down, get in a line!"
* Xanatos`Durran steps down the ramp, standing beside Chad. "What happened to that gear?"
<DeathStar> 6* The Narls line up before Kio, as if they're his soldiers.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Wonderful recruits. 6He notes blandly to Kio.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...just what the hell...?
* Ceres steps out into the hangar to greet people, having been on sick leave
* `Cole just stands there, he looks into the shuttle. "Miss Shiva. You ok?"
<Kio> 14"Yeah....well, needless to say...we ran into these little buggers while we are hunting Xevil..they thought I was there leader..so I quickly flee'd..and they "drafted" me for a suicide missin"
<Kio> *mission*
<DeathStar> 6* The Narls leer at Shiva, remembering her naked.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...right..
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *waves dismissively at them*
<Ceres> "What happened?"
<Chad`Winters> How...should I know what happened to the gear Durran...We left.
<Kio> The gear? Oh you mean John, He'll bring it back in one piece..maybe"
* Xanatos`Durran shrugs, "You know everything. It was worth a shot." He begins to leave.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren watches the Narls, as if debating on shooting them in order to protect Arhn.
* `Cole glances around. "I'm not actually sure what is going on."
<Ariel> "It is a rather confusing situation."
<Chad`Winters> *twitches as he looks at them*
* Kio looks at Cassandra, smiling rather weakly..he was seating..and looked absolutely beat. 14"I'm glad your alright, I was worried about you in that battle"
<DeathStar> 6* A Narl grabs Ariel's clothing farabic with it's long, green fingers.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> So you weren't even there?! :X
* Ariel looks at the Narl, "...no. You can't have it."
<DeathStar> 6* It clacks at her with annoyance and scurries away.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *throws her hands up and walks off*
<Kio> 14"Actually I was there, avoiding fire from hell. I was the last shuttle to "go down"..apparantly"
<Ceres> *Elsiah yawns, watching them all through the monitors.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...how did you pull that off?
* Xanatos`Durran is standing out in the hallway, he is leaning against the wall, his eyes are closed, he glances at Shiva as she comes by. "I'm sorry what I said to you, it was out of line."
<Kio> 14"Turned off power during the explosion, fooled the scanners and everyone into think I went with the explosion..hide in some debris until the gate cleared"
<Chad`Winters> How...noble.
<DeathStar> 6* One Narl has snuck off to Arhn's quarters, where it clicks it's teeth outside her door.
* `Cole just turns and heads for the exit.
* Ceres is now known as Gabby
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Well what you being all broody like I'll excuse you.
<Kio> 14"Yeah well, all the Narl died, the weapons on that shuttle were insufficient in destroying Tsi craft..."
<Chad`Winters> Not all the Narl died. *he motions to the ones in line*
<Kio> 14"The ones I managed to save, other then them..they are practically extinct"
<Xanatos`Durran> Please take care of Katrina for me. *he pushes off from the wall and heads past her in the opposite direction*
* Arhn opens the door of her quarters, having heard somehting...
<Kio> 14"And...there's something else"
<DeathStar> 6* The Narl looks at her, tilting it's head around to stare at her like a green little goblin
<Arhn> ... ... ...
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> She's big enough to take care of herself.
* Ariel lowers her head, "Then I know their pain." She honestly wonders if they're intelligent enough to feel pain.
<Gabby> *Ceres is still there, watching with a raised brow
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL. Ouch
<Kio> 14"The narl gave away my indentity to the Tsirvixsh, So I doubt it'll be safe for me to stare here much longer"
<DeathStar> 6* The Narl that remain standing at attention look bored, eyeing females.
<Kio> *identity*
<DeathStar> 6* The Narl rushes into Arhn's room quickly, looking at her various clothes.
<Chad`Winters> Oh...You made it sound like something real bad.
* `Cole stops at the exit of the hanger and looks from Shiva to Xanatos, who is turning the corner. He eyes Shiva and then turns around looking at Ceres. "You are the first person i've met that takes 8 sicks days because they got massively drunk."
<Kio> 14"Sorry to dissappoint"
* Arhn lets out a shriek!
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rushes into ARhn's room next and begins to tussel with the Narl in Arhn's wardrobe.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *walks along the hallway*
* Xanatos`Durran makes his way for the security office.
<Chad`Winters> Something you have in abundance.
<Gabby> Ceres> "Hmm...? Oh... didn't take 8... I've been doing some work shifts."
* Kio shakes his head. 14"Did I do something do you, to make you such an ass toward me?"
<`Cole> Ah. My mistake.
<DeathStar> 6* While Kio is talking, now all the Narl are MIA who were in the line, let loose on a poor station
<Chad`Winters> Well when you let a race of junkers loose on a station....
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Kio!
* Ariel takes her datapad, makes sure none are in HER room, and then locks it up.
<DeathStar> 6* The Narl kicks Warren in the face repeatedly while he holds onto her.
<Kio> 14"..dammit I know..I can't control them! How did you think I got kidnapped and sent off to die in the first place!" 2Runs off to find the Narls
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is being poked by Narl in a hallway. She tilts her head as she studies them.
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms, shaking his head.
<DeathStar> 
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Security, get to work. We need to contain those nuts!
<DeathStar> 6* They attempt to grab Zephyr as salvage rights and carry her off.
<Arhn> NRP: lol
<DeathStar> 6* Warren manages dunk the Narl in Arhn's room under a box, sitting calmly on it. He crosses his arms, scowling.
* `Cole eye Ceres for a moment, before turning to walk off.
* Xanatos`Durran sits down behind his console and attempts to get the locations of all the Narls.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is carried around by Narls, looking for a place to store her.
<DeathStar> 6* They're every where you can imagine.
<Kio> NRP: Jesus..there was that many..?
<Arhn> ...what are THEY doing here?!
<DeathStar> <Warren> Maybe they want to join PAX. 6He says blandly.
* Ariel trys to comm Zephyr
<Arhn> ...right...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hello, Ariel. 6She says as she's being carried. "I met some new friends."
* Chad`Winters moves over to his terminal and behind his desk, he bends down to sit.
<DeathStar> <Warren> They are Ry's guests, apparanly.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad sits on a Narl.
<Ariel> *c* "...Friends?"
* Xanatos`Durran takes it one narl at a time, finding a location and sending it to Cassandra.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes. They appear to be a strange race of aliens who are green. They are giving me a lift currently.
* Chad`Winters drums his fingers on his desk, a look of annoyance appearing on his face.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *swings her hand out, smacking a Narl across the face*
<Arhn> ...we need to ahve a talk if these are his friends...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Please do. 6He says as the box rattles underneath him
<DeathStar> 6* A few Narls have discovered the food dispensers and sit under them, pouring ice cream into their mouths
* Kio rounds up as many narl as possible..
<Chad`Winters> ....*growls and stands up, he reaches down and picks up the Narl by the throat and holds him up*
<DeathStar> 6* The Narl squirms.
<Gabby> *Ceres catches up to Cole, "Ummm..."
<Ariel> *c* "Zephyr. Remain cautious around them. They... seem to be kleptomaniacs."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What gives you that impression? 6She asks as the Narl stuff her into a box.
* `Cole glances back at Ceres. "Awake from your daydream are you?'
<DeathStar> 6* A Narl sits in a chair next to Xanatos, hitting buttons on the security computer.
<Chad`Winters> Where's my chair...
<DeathStar> 6* The Narl just stares back.
<Ariel> *c* "...They tried to steal everything in the hangar."
* Kio decides to go to the security office
<Chad`Winters> I despise you...*
* Xanatos`Durran glances over at the narl. *he punches it*
* Chad`Winters stares at the Narl.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I understand. It would explain why I am in a box.
<DeathStar> 6* It falls over.
* Kio runs into the office, holding his forehead. 14"Damn I hate these things!"
* Xanatos`Durran moves over and pick it up, he throws it at Kio.
<Xanatos`Durran> Got 1.
<Gabby> Ceres> "Yes... sorry.. can we talk...?"
* Kio catches it. 14"Open the communication line please.."
* Chad`Winters toss's the Narl over to the shuttle wreckage
* Xanatos`Durran opens up the comm line.
* Kio makes a broadcast, switching to his Tsivirisxh voice. 14"All of my soldiers report to the hangar NOW..if I discover you anywhere else..I will give you 100 lashings!"
<Chad`Winters> ....When did Kio get a tsivrixsh voice?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren falls backwards as the Narl in his box escapes and runs off to he hanger. Somehow, all those who aren't unconscious manage to return to the hanger. Including Zephyr in a box.
* Chad`Winters looks at the box
<DeathStar> 6* The Narl stand around the box proctively.
* Kio moves toward the hangar with the Narl in his hands.
<Chad`Winters> ...Ok that's stolen...*moves over towards the box*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands up after the Narl is gone. "The situation is over." 6He moves to exit Arhn's room.
<Ariel> *c* "Zephyr. Do not allow yourself to be stolen. Please."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. 6She sounds disappointed, as if she's been playing some game. Just as Chad is at the box, Zephyr pops out inches from his face.
<Arhn> ...thank you.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods to her, moving back into the hallway.
<Chad`Winters> GAH!!! *hops back, stumbling and falling on his ass*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches Chad fall over. "Were they trying to steal you, too?"
* Kio steps inside, glancing around. He points at a empty shuttle. 14"(T) Get on now, leave everything you stole behind..this is urgent!"
<Xanatos`Durran> Never did get my popsickle. *he sighs and sits down behind his console*
* Chad`Winters breathes heavy as he catches his breath. 1"Jesus...what the hell are you doing in that box?!
<DeathStar> 6* The Narl sadly get onto the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I had been illegally attained by them.
<Kio> 14"..Now I need a planet to take them too.."
<Chad`Winters> ....I see....*rubs the back of his head as he sits on the hanger floor*
<DeathStar> 6 Before he can decide, either by dumb luck or brilliance, they activate the shuttle and zoom right out of it and into space.
* Kio blinks as the shuttle takes off
* Chad`Winters turns, his draw dropping.
<Chad`Winters> ....My....My....MY SHUTTLE?!
<DeathStar> 6* It seems they also stole a pair of Arhn's panties.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...what...the...hell...?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tilts her head as they leave. "That was an interesting experience."
* `Cole rubs the back of his head, and eyes Ceres. "Is there a problem?"
* Chad`Winters stands up, pointing his finger at Kio. 1"OH YOU'RE SOOOOO PAYING FOR THAT SHUTTLE!"
<Kio> 14"..They took it not me"
<Gabby> *Ceres nods, "In private...?"
<Chad`Winters> Oh...but you commanded them on it buddy.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Kio. "Ry commanded them?"
* Ariel just rubs her head. For once... she's glad she isn't in security.
<Kio> 14"I was going to get on after them and set them down on a planet..but they stole it before I could!"
* `Cole arches a brow, "Ummm. Sure. Lead the way."
* Xanatos`Durran props up in his comfy position and closes his eyes.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> ...should...have boarded first...
<Chad`Winters> Ah hah....So you were going to steal it then.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, then grabs Kio and puts him in the box she was in, closing it. She picks it up effortlessly and sets it on Chad's desk. After that, she walks off.
* Chad`Winters turns looking at the box on his desk then at Zeph, then at the box. 1"Hah.
* Gabby leads him away into a confrence room and sits, "Have a seat..."
* `Cole just looks around and then sits down.
* Kio growls and kicks open the box. 14"..Dammit to hell!"
<Chad`Winters> Uhhh...Just what I always wanted....A Kio in a box.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren ends up on the observation deck, where it's quiet.
<Gabby> "Thank you... for bringing me around before..."
* Kio stands up on Chads desk, his shoulders drooping. 14"..I've had such a shitty..day"
<`Cole> It was no problem.
<Chad`Winters> Do...You mind getting of my desk?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr finds Ariel, silently joining her.
<Kio> 14"Blame your future love life.." 2He hops off, brushing himself off
<Chad`Winters> Excuse me?
* Ariel looks to Zephyr, "You didn't suffer any loss at the hands of our... guests, did you?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I am doing optimally well. 6She assures Ariel.
<Kio> 14"Nothing" 2He whistles, heading off out of the hangar to find Cassandra.
<DeathStar> 6* All is quiet in Arhn's room...until there's a familiar clicking sound.
* Chad`Winters shakes his head at Kio.
<Arhn> ...oh no...
<DeathStar> Session Ends

Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20060523.log'
<DeathStar> Mini-Session Follow up to Session 11 of Season 5
<DeathStar> Stardate: Immediately After Session 11
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station
* Xanatos`Durran is where we left off, taking his nap in the security office.
* `Cole is sitting there looking at Ceres.
* Chad`Winters looks around in an attempt to find his chair.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren is still on the observation deck, alone.
* Gabby is now known as Ceres
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Arhn could so have a talk with him.
<Ceres> "I feel... lost... alone..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien's shuttle lands in the hanger.
<Jackieness> NRP: I'm done x.x
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: DONE!? *slaps*
* `Cole eyes Ceres, "I'm...sorry?"
<Jackieness> NRP: ;.;
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves off the shuttle, adjusting his uniform and having just gotten back from doing some work with the investigation unit. He walks into the offices and sits down across from Kat, talking with her about where they are in the paperwork.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: I can't believe you are calling it quits at 10:40. SOme devotion to pax you have. *shakes his head in shame*
* Chad`Winters hangs his head in defeat as he finds his chair in pieces on the other side of his holo-table.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Ceres asks for a mini and then spazes out! *Punchs her in the face*
<Ceres> "I'm sorryu..."
<Chad`Winters> Son of a....*steps upto the chair and kneels down next to it starting to peace it together*
* `Cole stares at her. "Uhh. Well I really am sorry, I should have just allowed you to remain in your ignorant bliss."
* Xanatos`Durran opens his eyes and sighs. He stands up and steps out of the security office.
* Xanatos`Durran moves down the hall, stepping into the observation deck. He spots Warren and stops.
* Chad`Winters sighs and stands up, moving over to his work bench and he picks up small metallic sphere and toss's it into the air and catches it.
<Chad`Winters> ...Now all I need is a test subject....
<Ceres> "No... this si better for me..."
<`Cole> You really shouldn't feel so bad. Would you like me to tell you why?
* Chad`Winters looks around the hanger
<`Cole> NRP: *Dances*
* Xanatos`Durran rubs the back of his head and steps of beside Warren.
<Xanatos`Durran> Warren.
* Chad`Winters sighs and tosses the device onto his table, it rolls off to the back and comes to a stop.
<`Cole> NRP: *looks left, then right.*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Xanatos. 6He says, glancing at him.
<Xanatos`Durran> Haven't really talked to you since your return.
<DeathStar> <Warren> True. 6He says with a slight nod, glancing back out the observation deck.
<Xanatos`Durran> Course I didn't really talk to you that much before the incident either.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Also true.
<Xanatos`Durran> But your still probably the only true friend I have here.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: you're
<DeathStar> 6* Warren quirks an eyebrow at him. "What's on your mind, Durran?"
<Xanatos`Durran> You told me this place was golden. A smart decision for a man in search of a promotion.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Once, perhaps.
<Xanatos`Durran> All i've got from this place is a demotion, a lost eye, and a broken heart.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at him, letting him just speak.
<Xanatos`Durran> So now that all I have is free time full of thinking, i've been asking myself one question. What now?
<DeathStar> <Warren> And?
* Xanatos`Durran smiles, "I have no idea."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances back out the observation deck. "Transfer." 6He says simply.
* Xanatos`Durran eyes Warren. "Transfer to where? I've been checking around. Just as soon as a person sees PAX on my file, they just forget who Xanatos Durran is."
<DeathStar> <Warren> You could transfer anywhere that a pilot is needed. 6He states with a simple snort.
* Xanatos`Durran shakes his head. "I haven't flown in a long time, today showed me that i've lost my touch."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then do something about it. But wasting your time walking around here like a ghost won't solve anything for you. 6He says flatly.
* Xanatos`Durran nods, "You're right." He pauses as he thinks.
<Xanatos`Durran> How are you an Arhn?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at him again. "The Ambassador is well and my job details are simple enough."
* Xanatos`Durran stares out into space, "You know thats not what I meant."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I am not one to speak of what the Ambassador does or does not do with her time. She is involved with her duty and so am I. That is all there simply is.
<Xanatos`Durran> I see. So if she wanted to spend her free time with you, are you saying you wouldn't?
<DeathStar> <Warren> You do not understand the concept of responsibilities, Durran, and you also project what you would do onto others. Arhn's responsibilities lie in duty, and thus, there is only that at the end of the day. And it's a concept I fully endorse. 6He says, glancing at Durran again.
<Xanatos`Durran> Of course I project what I would do onto others, and I know full well what responsiblities are. But her job doesn't command every second of her life, she DOES have free time. I only try to make people realize feelings, because I know what that happines feels like, and damnit if I can't feel it, I want to do my best to make sure someone else can.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Transposing your ideals and wishes onto others and attempting to get them to play out how you would do a situation is not making others feel happiness, but merely getting involved in matters outside what you should be focused on.
<DeathStar> NRP: Short version: Quit meddling around, dumbass.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Lol.
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Warren. "You know sometimes I hate talking to you. Especially because I don't remember a time when you were wrong."
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren turns around to fully face him. "You have lost your balance. Fix your own balance instead of trying to unbalance the world around so it seems things in your life aren't off."
<DeathStar> (around you)
* Xanatos`Durran glances at Warren. "My problem is finding that balance."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Good. Then you aren't perfect. 6He turns and walks for the exit.
<Xanatos`Durran> Hey Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stops.
<Xanatos`Durran> Thanks for being honest with me.
<DeathStar> <Warren> At the end of the day, honesty is all that matters. One can live a lie to shield themselves or others from pain, but honesty leaves nothing but truth at the end of the day."
* Xanatos`Durran watches Warren walk away, he turns and stares out into space.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at Durran. "The woman I loved is dead. She isn't coming back. That's the cold, hard truth. The also cold hard truth is the woman you love is now just a remainder of what you cannot attain. You can lie to yourself all you want about your position here, or about her, but in the end of the day, accept the truth over the lie." 6He walks out
<DeathStar> -End-
