<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-583.10.12
<DeathStar> Location: PAX Station
<DeathStar> 6* Everyone, except Ariel and Darien, are currently on the PAX Station. Those two have gone out on a date, leaving Cassandra Arakawa in charge.
* Xanatos`Durran is...you guessed it, propped up in his favorite spot, behind his desk in the security office.
* Ceres is in her room, not currently on duty, she's been... brooding a bit of late
* `Cole sits in the observation deck, but he isn't holding the guitar in his hands, he just has his arms crossed as he stares out into space. The guitar is beside him though.
* Alicia is now known as Red_Fox
* Chad`Winters walks down the hallway, a small quarter sized orb being tossed in his hand as he walks.
* Kio walks into the security office, getting ready for his shifty.
* Red_Fox sits in the security office, relaxing
* Arhn is sitting in the observation deck, standing at the viewport, hands clasped together.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> NRP: Kio seems suspicious!
<DeathStar> 6* A military shuttle approaches the station, sending in a hail for a request to land and speak with Lt.Cmd. Durran. They seem to have the proper creds and everything.
<Kio> *err shift*
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Xan, its for you.
* Ceres gets up, in civvies, and heads outside, taking a walk down the halls
* Xanatos`Durran perks his head up. "Say what?"
<`Cole> Well hello there Lady Arhn. I did not see you there.
<Arhn> I have been quiet...
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *is down in the Training Room, working out*
<Cassandra_Arakawa> You've got visitors. *taps on her console to clear the shuttle*
<`Cole> This I have noticed. How are you doing?
<Arhn> I am well.
<Xanatos`Durran> .....Right. *he stands and hesistates ackwardly before moving off toward the hanger.*
<DeathStar> 6* The military shuttle begins to dock, following the docking rules by the book
* `Cole smiles, "And how is business?"
<Kio> 14"..Well anythings better then the Narl at this point.."
* Chad`Winters peers around as he walks down the orb, it would seem he's looking for something.
<Kio> NRP: Chads in an orb!
<DeathStar> NRP: Poor bastard
<Cassandra_Arakawa> No kidding...
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the hanger moments later, waiting to see who is here to see him.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Aye...
<Arhn> It has been rather quiet for me of late.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *plops down on her ass and lays down, as she rests.
* Red_Fox pulls out a book, and starts to read
<`Cole> It has been quiet for me ever since I joined the ranks of PAX. *he smiles at her*
<Arhn> Oh?
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle powers down and the side door opens as a man in his mid-30s pops down, wearing a pilot jacket and uniform. "Durran you old dog." 6He hurries over to him.
<`Cole> It is part of the reason I have picked up guitar. *he pauses* Speaking of music, you are very gifted at it.
<Red_Fox> NRP: BRB
* Chad`Winters lets out a sigh as he winds up not finding what he was looking for and he heads back down to the Hanger Bay
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks down the hallway, looking at her datapad, when she passes the hanger doors, glancing up at Durran and the mystery man.
* Xanatos`Durran blinks and even raises his eyepatch. "Marty? Marty Lane is that you!?" He moves forward with his arms spread out. "You sly thing, I haven't seen you in ages!"
* Kio sighs at his desk, watching the monitors lightly. 14"..it was entertaining though"
<Arhn> You have my thanks for your kind words.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Looks like an old war buddy. *watching the hangar monitor*
<Kio> 14"Seems like it"
* `Cole stares out in space. "You are a very professional woman. I admire that."
* Chad`Winters stops behind Katrina and looks over her shoulder and into the hanger. 1"I hear spying is looked down upon these days."
<DeathStar> <Marty> Damn straight, Durran. 6He glances him over. "I think you're getting gray hairs."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Chad. "I'm not spying!"
* Xanatos`Durran moves a hand through his hair. "Well I think you're looking quite old yourself!" He still seems shocked of such a visit.
<Arhn> It is in my upbringing.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pokes up from behind Chad's desk, then begins to remove bolts from his chair, then ducks back into hiding.
<Kio> 14"Seems like alot of people pasts have been coming up lately..good or bad"
* Ceres peeks into the Hangar, watching quietly
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Wonder if Xan owes this guy money.
<Red_Fox> NRP: Back
* Chad`Winters quirks his eyebrow. 1"What do you call it then?"
<DeathStar> <Marty> Man, have you seen this face? I'm still damn good looking. 6He glances around. "Wow. So you work at PAX. I heard about you being here after I got back from the outer colonies, but I didn't believe it."
* Red_Fox looks to the monitor
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... admiring...his shuttle? 6She says slowly, then sighs. "Fine, I'm spying."
* `Cole nods, "A good upbringing is one of the most important things. At least thats what my mother always told me.' he chuckles.
<Kio> 14"Hah, he'd be more hostile if it was about money.."
<Red_Fox> Maybe he's an old friend?
<Chad`Winters> Typical female...Smells fresh meat and has to check it out.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hardly. 6She says, glancing back, a small frown on her face. "That's not it at all..."
* Xanatos`Durran nods as he glances around. "Yeah I docked down here. You know Warren Carmicheal? I was in his unit after the war, and he asked if I came her on his request."
<Cassandra_Arakawa> Maybe Xan is owed money then.
<DeathStar> <Marty> No shit? Warren's around here? 6He peers about.
* Chad`Winters pats her on the back. 1"Sorry..."
<Arhn> Some people here disagree...expounding the virtues of breaking away from one's culture and following one's heart.
* Ceres sighs and heads further down teh hall, walking into the observatory.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He's here for Xanatos. 6She says, shaking her head once and turning to move on, walking down the hallway.
<Kio> 14"Mmmm..I say he's here for something a little less..obvious in my opinion"
<Xanatos`Durran> Yes yes. Lurking around. Brooding over something. Hasn't changed a bit despite all thats happened. *he laughs* So tell me Marty, what are you doing round here?
<Chad`Winters> I see...*steps into the hanger and walks over to his desk*
* `Cole glances over at Arhn. "Hmmm, you don't say? I wonder why it has to be one extreme or the other?"
<DeathStar> <Marty> I came here to see you, Xan. 6He says seriously, glancing at him.
<Arhn> I am uncertain...but I do know who I am.
<Red_Fox> "I'll keep an eye on him, anyway."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks down a hallway, flipping through a folder of station logs and transactions.
* Xanatos`Durran arches a brow. "Something up?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> We're about to find out, I think...Xan just arched a brow quizzically.
<Kio> 14"You know they are gonna go in a blindspot of ours cameras for their conversation.."
<DeathStar> <Marty> I've just been promoted to Captain and given control to form a unit that's going to be exploring deep space stuff. No human has gone before and all that. And of course, I need the best damn pilots I can find. 6Marty points at Durran. "I want you to come join my unit."
* Chad`Winters tosses the orb onto his desk and then moves to the other side to side down.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hides behind some boxes, not needing to breathe as she hides.
* Xanatos`Durran blinks, his mouth drops slightly, and he seems to be in a bit of a shock. "Are you serious Marty? You're not just fuckin with me are you?"
<Cassandra_Arakawa> I think he wants Xan to join the pod people.
* Chad`Winters moves to sit down then stops, pausing. He stands upright and scratches the top of his head as he stares at his desk, looking.
<Kio> 14"Hell if I was him I'd take it"
<DeathStar> <Marty> Hell no. That's why I'm here for you.
<Red_Fox> "Or the suspiciously timed exploration force..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina enters the training room, rotating her shoulders, and begins to hit the punching bag without taking off her uniform.
<Red_Fox> "Anyone else want to bet that it's a Janus ploy to get him out of PAX?"
<Red_Fox> NRP: <Red Fox> No, I'm not paranoid. Why do you ask?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps into the security office. "Hardly." 6He says to them, closing the folder and returning it to it's proper place in the cabinet
* Xanatos`Durran scratches his head and glances around. "Hmmm, come to my room and we can talk about this some more." He glances up at the camera's, "I don't like snoops."
<Red_Fox> "Warren! You know what's going on?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *looks over at Katrina, eyeing her* Something up dear?
* Red_Fox looks back to the monitor. "... bastards."
* Chad`Winters lifts a folder on his desk and looks under it then drops it. He looks over at one of his drawers and opens it then closes it. 1"Somethings out of place here...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Durran wanted to find his balance. 6He says with a shrug, turning to exit the office again.
* Xanatos`Durran motions for Marty to come on and he turns and starts to head for his room.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Marty starts to walk after him.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> So what? Honestly, unless you're a diplomat, PAX can function without you. We're just window dressing here, people.
* Chad`Winters idly reaches over and straightens a pencil he then leans back and sits in his seat.
<DeathStar> 6* The seat falls apart.
* Xanatos`Durran glances over at Marty as he walks, "So how much have you heard about PAX, Marty?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Nothing's wrong. 6She kicks the punching bag. "I'm just conflicted with my emotions I guess."
* Chad`Winters falls straight back and over the chair as it falls apart, he just lies there in a n awkward position.
<Red_Fox> "... yeah, I guess you're right."
<DeathStar> <Marty> I heard it's been in steady decline over the last year since the whole Dragoon incident.
* Ceres steps into the training room, watching Kat go at it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hops up from her hiding place, and runs off obviously.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Care to talk about it?
<Xanatos`Durran> Then you're hearing is top notch.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Zephyr as she runs off.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That man. I could sense in his emotions he's here for Xanatos. Since I've been telling Durran he should get a job he's happy with for months now, I think he's finally decided to do it. 6She hits the bag again.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> But you're not over him.
<DeathStar> <Marty> Well, Darien's a damn fine pilot and an even sneakier investigator, but he's no diplomat.
<Cassandra_Arakawa> We're just the ones who make sure the diplomats don't meet an untimely end.
* `Cole stares at Arhn. "Well, then who are you Lady Arhn?"
* Chad`Winters reaches up and smacks his forehead as he lays there.
<Arhn> I know who I am, and that is what really matters.
* Xanatos`Durran nods as he turns into the hallway to his room. "I agree with that as well."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't know. 6She says honestly, punching the bag again. She leans on the bag, glancing at Shiva. "I just wonder if he'll take the job."
<Ceres> "So you think he's leaving?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods to Ceres.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren opens his datapad, having copied the logs to his datapad so that he could study them in detail.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Will it bug you if he leaves?
* Kio just whistles
<`Cole> Would I be out of line to request an answer to your statement? Just who is Arhn?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't know. 6She says again.
<DeathStar> <Marty> I bet that poor bastard can't wait to get back to his old job.
<Red_Fox> "You know... even if I was dead weight, I'd still want to be here..."
<Xanatos`Durran> As far as we've heard it here, just as soon as Cran is elected....and you know he'll win...then this place is gone anyway. Here's my room. *he stops and opens the door to his room*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> 6Pulls herself up and sits there1 Then why are you punching the crap out of the bag in your uniform?
<Ceres> "Think he's bailing because of the station going under?"
<Ceres> "Or something else?"
<DeathStar> 6* Marty steps into the room. "Personally, I'm voting for Cran."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina frowns, glancing at Ceres, then back at Shiva. "I don't know." 6She says to them both, this time not being honest.
<Xanatos`Durran> You serious Marty? I know too much about the man....*their conversation can't be heard any longer as the door closes*
<Red_Fox> "..."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Kat...
* Ceres nods, thinking, in a similar mood to Kat as is.
* Chad`Winters finally pushes himself of the floor. He turns and looks down at his chair and lets out a huge sigh.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren flips through various shipping actions, stopping on the one dated 10-581.12.17 He rubs his face, then closes it.
* Akane`Tendou has joined #taw
* Arhn has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Oh noes. Cole DESTORYED her.
<Red_Fox> "... y'know... if PAX really does go under, I don't know what I'll do."
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
* Cassandra_Arakawa has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Akane`Tendou is now known as Cassandra`Arakawa
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps away from the bag, stretching a bit as she stands there. "So...why are you two here? Letting out frustrations?"
* Jackieness is now known as Arhn
<Arhn> Its not soemthing that I can put into words. It is a feeling more than anything
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Just one of my weekly work-outs. Ya know, gotta help keep my figure.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr finds herself in the cafeteria now, not really needing food, but deciding to eat some jello.
* `Cole sits there and nods lightly. "I can understand what you mean. Putting emotions into words can be quite difficult."
<Ceres> "Thining alone in my room got... well... lonely."
<Ceres> *thinking
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You could probably keep that figure of yours after eating as much food as you want, Shiva. 6She glances at Ceres, nodding once. "John?"
* Ceres nods
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sighs, leaning against the punching bag. "He's a busy guy."
<Arhn> Indeed it is...
<Ceres> "Yeah..."
* `Cole stares out into space again. "That is why I create music. To express all the emotions that are simply to hard to form into words."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *looks over at Ceres* Bout time you finally realized it.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Cole beat here ass into submission....literally.
<Arhn> As do I...
* `Cole glances over at Arhn again. "I do believe this is the first time i've actually sat down and had a conversation with you."
* Ceres sighs, "I was blind..."
<Arhn> Yes, it is.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> But atleast you were smart enough to realize it.
* Xanatos`Durran steps back out of his room, holding a large dufflebag. "Hahah and do you remember those Twins? Oh god I almost forgot about them!"
<DeathStar> 6* Sitting down, Zephyr tilts her head and pokes her jello, watching it quiver.
<Red_Fox> "Hey, how much do you know about the cartel?"
<DeathStar> <Marty> I still can't believe you managed to get them to do that thing with you. 6He says as he steps out.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> He was good in bed tho...*she taps one of her fingers across her lower lip as she thinks*
* Xanatos`Durran chuckles as he moves down the hallway, "Well I used to be good, that i'll admit."
<`Cole> Well I'm enjoying it. *he stops as if thinking*
<Red_Fox> NRP: Did everyone leave the room while I wasn't looking, or something?
<DeathStar> <Marty> So, I bet you slept with half the people here.
<DeathStar> NRP: I think Kio and Cass are in the room with Fo.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's eyes quirk toward Shiva, then toward Ceres.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> NRP: Still in the security office!
* Xanatos`Durran shakes his head. "Just one Marty. Just one."
<Kio> NRP: Yeah I'm in the office
* Ceres shrugs softly, "You say that as if I was unaware he has other women."
<DeathStar> <Marty> Wow. You're right. You USE to be good.
* Xanatos`Durran laughs. "Actually Marty, its some story. But yeah I've lost most of my touch." He turns down the hall toward the hanger.
* Ceres looks up a little slyly, "Or that you're shy of spreading your legs for anything looking remotely male."
<DeathStar> 6* Marty walks along, his hands in his coat. "I should get you into your native environment of a strip bar."
<Cassandra`Arakawa> NRP: Here comes the story about Monday session...
<Arhn> Is soemthing wrong?
<Red_Fox> "I got an offer, but... I don't know if I want to work for JUST money. There's job satisfaction too, right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina coughs, looking at Shiva with a smile as she hides behind the punching bag.
<Red_Fox> "Hopefully, it won't come to that, though."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I just like certain guys....John tho...wow...how could you not want him...the times he brought me to climax. In one go even.
* Xanatos`Durran chuckles. "We'll see where we go whenever we get off this boring station. You remember all that beauty sleep I claimed to miss? Well I think I got it all back! *He laughs again as he steps into the hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina claps her hands to her ears, laughing. "This is my brother guys. Can you not talk about him like this?"
<Red_Fox> "I just hope PAX lasts a LONG time."
<DeathStar> <Marty> It must not be working.
* Ceres giggles, "Well you at least understand why I had a crush."
<Xanatos`Durran> Hell you shoulda saw me a few months back! *He stops in front of the shuttle* Nice shuttle. *He moves on up the ramp.*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> But Kat my dear...the things he can do with his tongue...He could play me like a violin.
<Ceres> "And his hands? He has to be a musician..."
<Kio> 14"I'm pretty sure it won't..once Cran is president..bye bye PAX"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *looks at Ceres* See, I didn't have a crush. I had a night stand, then he followed me to 4 planets before I broke his nose.
* Red_Fox twitches a little at the mention of Cran
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That is sick. Sick. 6She says with a shake of her head.
<Ceres> "Awww... but he has such a cute nose."
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Wonder where I'll end up if that happens...
<Red_Fox> "I hope he doesn't. I hate his guts."
<Kio> 14"I know where I'll end up"
<Red_Fox> "I'm guessing you can't work under him either?"
* `Cole blinks as he looks over at Arhn. "Nah, just thinking. Most of the people on this station get under my skin. So I often think of home."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Hardly.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren passes the observation deck, but pauses, not letting himself be seen as he glances at Cole and Arhn, evaluating the threat level.
* Xanatos`Durran comms Cassandra, "Hey Chief. Sign me out, i'm leaving."
* Ceres smiles, "Good to see Kat's smiling again."
<Arhn> Ah, I see...home.
<Ceres> "We should do something, get our mind off of things."
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Leaving? Where to?
<`Cole> You miss yours as well? *he looks back over to Arhn*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I do feel better. Even if you two had to do it in such a ungh way. 6She agrees. "And what is there to do except get drunk like I do every night already?"
<Arhn> Home is home...
<Xanatos`Durran> <Comm> I'm just going. I'll see you when I see you. *the comm channel dies and the ramp of the shuttle rises, then the shuttle blasts out of the station*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *Could be quite interesting*
<Kio> 14"Hell, you guys can always hang with me once PAX kicks the bucket...I know a couple bars on some planets I've been meaning to try"
<Ceres> "Let's try a night off the booze."
* Red_Fox laughs. "Well, maybe..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A night without drinks. Well, what do you have in mind, Ceres?
<DeathStar> NRP: *Cole moves and Warren busts in, shooting him over and over*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I hear Ceres has a new interest in exotic dancing.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> I'm stuck with this commission myself. *logs Xan out*
* `Cole eyes Arhn quietly. "When you speak, you keep it simple and sweet." He notes after a minute.
* Ceres grins, "I was more thinking shopping, but if you want to give me some pointers Shiva..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I did hear that. Since when did you pick up that side job? 6She says, hugging the bag as she studies Ceres.
<Arhn> Those who are verbose are trying to hide something.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Sorry toots, I keep my moves to myself.
* `Cole blinks, not expecting that comment. "Do you feel i'm hiding something then?"
* Ceres grins, "Cass put me up to it."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren, seeing that they are having a friendly conversation, moves onward, stopping outside the cafeteria. He sits down beside Zephyr, talking lowly to her. She leans forward, seemingly playing with her jello instead of listening.
<Kio> 14"Hah, if you sneak out quietly..they'll never know"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I would have never taken Lt. Arakawa to be such a party animal. When she first arrived, I was convinced she was a female version of Warren.
<Red_Fox> "You're not seriously suggesting that, are you?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Interesting assessment. The engineers must've warmed her up.
<Arhn> Are you? Honestly, its simple psychology. Those who have the least to say tend to speak the most.
<Arhn> Are you? Honestly, its simple psychology. Those who have the least to say tend to speak the most.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> nRP: That's LT. Commander now! :E
* Kio laughs 14"With Cran in charge, you'll end up on toilet cleaning duty anyway"
* `Cole glances back out the window. He smiles. "Perhaps you've figured me out? Perhaps all of the things i've been saying have been hot air. Or perhaps i'm just trying to open up everyone's eyes to see the greater picture." He doubts she'll know what he is talking abtou since she stays in her room.
<Red_Fox> "He's not in charge yet..."
<Kio> 14"But he will be..check the polls? He's ahead"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans on the punching bag still. "It feels strange, even now, to see her as the security chief. And it's been seven months at least."
<Red_Fox> "Hey, Kio? Do you have any plans for if PAX does get broken up? Beyond drinking, I mean."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> By all means Chad should've gotten it, but he is a criminal and all.
<Arhn> It is all introspection...
* `Cole moves his eyes to look at Arhn. "You seem bored."
<Arhn> Perhaps a trifle.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think one day people will over begin to forget that when they see all he's been doing.
<Kio> 14"A few. I've always had a passion for exploration and varying cultures. So after this I'm going to make it a mission to go from planet to planet, explore, and learn as much as possible. Also I hear there is a Civil war arising on my home planets..so perhaps I'll drop by to see what's up..you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances up at the camera once while speaking to Zephyr, his mouth hidden from sight just enough that his lips can't be read.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You think that's what he really wants? Some would assume that he's working so much to hide his guilt and his pain.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think he just needs to find his place.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> If I get bumped somewhere...I guess I'll just go wherever...
* `Cole frowns. "Well forgive me for poorly entertaining you.....would you like to hear a song? I'm not as talented as you. But I...well I try."
<Arhn> Oh, I would enjoy it.
<Ceres> "I don't know... Chad seems nice and all but... his file speaks agaisnt him rather harshly..."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> And where do you think that jobs is?
<Red_Fox> "I don't know... I hate war, but... if I can bring an end to one, I'd be more than willing to fight."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shrugs her shoulders. "I'm not sure. I would guess building things."
* `Cole reaches for his guitar and props it up on his knee, he pulls a pick out of his pocket and thinks for a moment, trying to find the song that best describes his current feelings.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *looks over at Ceres* Earth Government files speak rather harsly of John but you seem to think otherwise.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Technically, if we all see John, we're obliged to arrest him. But I haven't seen any of us try yet.
<Ceres> "Well... what has John really done wrong?"
<`Cole> NRP: Blew up buildings.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Blow up military facilities? Steal things?
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I have immunity on that part....Besides blow up buildings?
<Ceres> "Janus Facilities, Janus things?"
* Kio chuckles a little at Cassandra. 14"Not much of an ambition huh?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Janus is part of the military.
* `Cole slowly begins to play his song, it is slow and somber. He closes his eyes as he feels the music.
<Ceres> "...I think the point was lost there."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *looks at Ceres than at Kat than at Ceres* Blowing up buildings regardless of the owner tends to be seen as a negative action.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> I...don't really have anywhere to do...
<Ceres> "I have to ask though, has he killed anyone?"
<DeathStar> <John> No.
<Kio> 14"You just think you don't. You will always have a spot at my side, after all this is done"
<Red_Fox> "You could come with me, I guess.."
<Red_Fox> "I'm... not sure I could stay in the military, under Cran..."
<Cassandra`Arakawa> I'm a full conversion cyborg with military specs. My maintenance depends on the military.
<Red_Fox> "I'm sure the cartel could work something out..."
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL. John mysteriously answers the question
<DeathStar> NRP: I meant Kat
<Kio> 14"Hah, I have a few..underground hookups now after my time with John"
<Red_Fox> "But... I can understand if you're not willing to leave."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> A moot point. Stealing isn't much of a noble act either.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Shiva, not liking to hear her brother described this way, even if they all know he's not a bad guy
<`Cole> "Even though. I'm wrong." Cole slowly begins to sing in tune with his music. "Even though. I'm alone." Cole begins to transition into the chorus, "I will still be here. I will still live onnnn. I wont back down. I wont give in. I will. Beeee your only friend. I will." He begins to slow back down into the same tune as the first verse.
<`Cole> NRP: Argh the stuff without """ is action stuff.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Warren, realizing Arhn is in danger of bad music, busts in and kills Cole*
<`Cole> NRP: :P
<DeathStar> 6* Warren finishes his talk with Zephyr and stands up, exiting the cafeteria. He glances around the hallway, then begins to move toward his room.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *nods slightly as if understanding*
<Kio> 14"It's hard to leave your home, to have your whole race disown you..it's understandable..and believe me..I know"
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Yeah...I know...
* Red_Fox has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* `Cole sings the remaining of the verse, Cole then resumes into the chorus. Once the last words "I will" are spoken, Cole stops, finished with the song.
<Kio> 14"But in my opinion..one must make sacrifices in order to do what they believe in. Course that's not much right? Haha I'm a criminal"
<Xanatos`Durran> <GM Jr.> Durran's clearance codes are sent to the station and automatically excepted, the shuttle he was on zooms into the station and spins into a nice landing.
<Arhn> You must give yourself more credit.
<Ceres> "Rebels in the end, often wind up teh truely noble..."
<Kio> NRP: Did she type in the wrong window!?
* `Cole listens to Arhn. "Give myself more credit?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Did you read that in a book?
<Ceres> NRP: Nay sir.
<`Cole> NRP: I didn't think so......@_@
<Ceres> "Yes, actually."
<DeathStar> 6* Marty hops off. "And you said you forgot how to fly."
* Red_Fox has joined #TAW
<DeathStar> NRP: Everyone died while you were gone, Fox. You are the last survivor.
* Xanatos`Durran steps off the shuttle as the ramp opens, he turns and extends his hand to shake Marty's "Maybe I stretched the truth some." After that he talks in a low voice. He salutes dumbly and then laughs as he steps off.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: BAH!
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: :)
<Arhn> Yes, you aren't as bad as you think.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *lets out a sigh waving her hand dismissively*
<DeathStar> <Marty> You nut. 6He says, laughing right back at him.
* `Cole smiles, "Well I appreciate the compliment. But i'm still learning, so maybe one day I might just be amazing?"
* Xanatos`Durran waves his goodbye to Marty as he rounds the exit of the hanger.
<Arhn> You could at that.
* `Cole smiles, "When that day comes. Would you honor me by allowing me to play a song for you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Marty gets back into his shuttle, lifting off and leaving.
<Kio> 14"So you have plans over there Foxxy?"
<Red_Fox> "Maybe. If things go down the shitter enough, I probably will join the cartel after all."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves along the hallways, stopping as he bumps into Durran. He glances up.
* Xanatos`Durran looks at
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Fuckdiddle.
<DeathStar> NRP: *NOTHING*
* Xanatos`Durran looks at Warren. "Hey Warren."
<Kio> 14"Cartel eh?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Durran.
<Xanatos`Durran> You remember Marty Lane?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I do. 6He says with a nod.
<Xanatos`Durran> Can you believe he came here and actually offered me a job?
<Red_Fox> "Yeah.. I'm not sure about the morality of it all, but... anything's better than serving under CRAN."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods. "I could."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *looks over at Kat* Kids and there books these days...
* Xanatos`Durran laughs a bit. "I'm still quite shocked."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Reading is good for the mind.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yet flattered someone would approach you with a job offer.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Touche.
<Ceres> "So... what are you both going to do if Cran gets elected?"
<Xanatos`Durran> Well of course. My record isn't exactly the best these days.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If PAX continues here. If not, I guess I'll go back with Darien to the investigation unit.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Nonsense. 6He says with a shrug.
<Arhn> Of course.
<Red_Fox> "... still... I guess you do what you have to to survive."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Work, like I always do.
* Xanatos`Durran laughs a bit. "I swear this is the happiest i've felt in a couple weeks.'
<Kio> 14"Which is better, serving under Cran..or abandoning your race to go work under a race to whom one doesn't know much about?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Because of the job position, or because someone offered it?
<Red_Fox> "... to be honest...?"
<Xanatos`Durran> I think the offer alone. *he says after he thinks about it*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods his head with understanding.
<Ceres> "Hmmm... dunno what I'd do... diplomatic core wants me back of course... though I've gotten other offers."
<Red_Fox> "... I think the latter. I... don't know what sort of shit Cran would pull... but I can't trust him."
<Kio> 14"Yes"
* Red_Fox considers
<Red_Fox> .oO(I wonder if John would want any help?)
* Xanatos`Durran stands there with Warren for a minute, obviously thinking now.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands there quietly, always good at handling silences until the other cracks.
* Xanatos`Durran glances over at Warren. "Fine. Don't ask how I responded." He smirks.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I figure you will tell me if you desire to do so.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You could go work for the Tsivrixsh. 6She jokes, remembering hearing about that job offer.
* Xanatos`Durran laughs. "Well I figure you might probably already know."
<Red_Fox> "I guess all I can do is stay loyal to Venerator's dream..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Maybe.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: <Kio and Cass> Who?
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> There'd be a fun job...*gives a thumbs down*
<Kio> 14"Right, but what good is that when no one backs you?"
* Xanatos`Durran pats Warren on the back. "You're a good friend, Warren." he starts off down the hall.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks forward down the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien's shuttle lands in the hanger, powering down.
* Xanatos`Durran steps into the security office and sits down behind his console, signing back in to duty.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits in the shuttle, glancing at Ariel. "So, looks like I got you back home in one piece."
<Red_Fox> "I guess you're right..."
<Ceres> "I could... that'd be wierd though."
* Chad`Winters is still infront of his chair, sighing.
<Ceres> "Although, Xevil was an amazing dancer." (she grins*
* Xanatos`Durran punches something in lightly as they talk.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren enters the security office, probably from another angle, and sits down at his assigned desk, since he gets a computer since he's an honor guard. He types in his password, glancing at video logs now.
* Kio suddenly perks up, as if sensing the name "Xevil" being used.
<Red_Fox> "I'd go into politics, but I'm not cut out for that."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I wonder if they have a Tsivrixsh School of Dance.
<Kio> 14"I think I would make a good politician"
<Red_Fox> "Anything to keep Cran from ruining everything.."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I'm sure there's not much honor in it, unless of course it was to the death.
<Kio> 14"So..what you should do is leave the military..and lead a movement against him."
<Red_Fox> "Actually... that sounds good."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances up at the recording footage, then back at his computer, waiting for them to be all arrested.
<Red_Fox> "I don't suppose those contacts of yours would help?"
<Kio> 14"I suppose I could get ahold of John..he enjoys that sort of thing"
<Red_Fox> NRP: <Red Fox> *gets arrested* "DAMN YOU KIO! YOU SET ME UP!"
<`Cole> NRP: Me thinks Arhn and Cassandra died.
<Arhn> NRP: Waiting on your response.
<`Cole> NRP: OH DAMN AGAIN!? *dies*
<Kio> 2Speaking of Cass, Kio throws a paper ball at the side of Cass's head..wondering if she shut down on him.
<Arhn> NRP: Arhn said 'Of course'
* Cassandra`Arakawa reaches up and catches the ball with her left hand
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits there in his chair, then stands up from his seat
* `Cole smiles at Arhn and sits the guitar to his side. "I hope maybe one day I'll get to hear one of your songs. Perhaps even a private listen?" He seems innocent enough with the statement.
<Arhn> Did you not have the opportunity to attend the opera?
<`Cole> I mentioned that I did. Yes. But that can't be all your material, I would assume you have wrote new and possibly even better things.
<Arhn> Nothing complete yet...
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Wow it got quiet in here awfuly quickly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I was picturing dancing and fighting to the death
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Strange concept....
* `Cole nods and frowns. "Think I could possibly sample a hearing of it first, whenever you get a rough work finished?"
<Ceres> "Yeah..."
<Arhn> Well, my current work tends to need quite an accompaniment of instruments.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Just don't...
<Kio> 14"Don't what?"
* Xanatos`Durran glances around the room, all their talks of conspiracy. He smiles lightly. Then, he props his legs up, crosses his arms and closes his eyes.
<Arhn> Pelt me with things while I'm doing paperwork.
<Arhn> NRP: Danr!
<Kio> NRP: Hahaha
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Pelt me with things while I'm doing paperwork.
* `Cole perks up at hearing that. "And just what type of instrunments do you require?"
<Kio> 14"It was Fox!"
<Red_Fox> "Hey, don't pin the blame on me!"
<DeathStar> NRP: <Kio> Warren did it! <Warren> ..
<Cassandra`Arakawa> I have a targeting computer in this thing, you know.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *pushes herself up and stretches her arms behind her back*
<Kio> 14"I thought that was only when you were paying attention?"
<Arhn> A mixed Erusian and Human orchestral set.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> So I hear you and Chad finally fought.
<Ariel> "I have to admit... That was quite the enjoyable experience. Not the rush of your racing... but stronger in it's own merrits."
<Cassandra`Arakawa> A wad of paper registers the same as a bullet or grenade. Ping ping ping.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Flying can be all sorts of speeds. 6He says with a smile.
<Kio> 14"..bah:
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Hey, what can I say?
* `Cole thinks for a moment. "Well I'm not sure if I could help. But if you need it, i'm always right here." He spreads his arms out to show he means the observation deck.
* Ariel just nods, and trys to decypher what Darien just said.
<DeathStar> NRP: <Darien> Eh? EH?
<`Cole> NRP: <Ariel> Yes, shuttle do have different speeds.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien begins to lean forward, as if perhaps to kiss her, when Zephyr leans forward on top of the shuttle, looking in the window. <Zephyr> You are late by ten minutes. 6* Darien looks up at the ceiling, as if cursing in his head.
* Kio grins 14"That you'll go out with me after duty?"
* Xanatos`Durran perks his eye open and glances over at Kio.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That was like a month ago.
* Chad`Winters finally lets out one last sigh and leans down and begins to put the chair back together.
<Arhn> It is appreciated.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Really? *scratches the back of her head*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Need you even ask?
* Ariel looks at Zephyr, then Darien, "Late?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> How'd that go?
* `Cole smiles, "I would feel pretty bad if I didn't offer."
<DeathStar> <Darien> She told me to have you home by a certain time.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies Shiva. "He won."
* Xanatos`Durran frowns, "But Cassandra you promised me you'd help me out with that problem i've been having."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Ahhh...you're kidding me?!
<Kio> 14"No, but it's good manners"
* Ariel looks to Zephyr for clarification.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes her head.
* Kio raises a brow at Durran
* Cassandra`Arakawa looks at Xan...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just nods, while staring in upside down. "Strict guidelines are needed while dating."
* Arhn nods to Cole.
<Xanatos`Durran> .....You don't remember?
* `Cole stands, "Well Lady Arhn. Are you hungry?"
<Cassandra`Arakawa> No..I don't...
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> And I thought you'd be a shoe-in.
<Arhn> Perhaps a little.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He's good. Real good.
<Xanatos`Durran> But...you promised...you mean you forgot? You promised you'd help me greasee my shaft real good. I can't believe you forgot. *he hangs his head*
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> You're kidding me...He seems fit and all but...really?
* Kio leans forward. 14"Uhhh, has Durran lost it?"
* Red_Fox blinks
<DeathStar> NRP: Would you quit bragging on your character. *hits Chad*
<Red_Fox> "Grease... your shaft..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances up.
* Red_Fox suddenly bursts out laughing
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Seriously that gets old.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina just looks at Shiva, crossing her arms.
* Xanatos`Durran smirks and glances at Fox. "I'm glad she gets it."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: *shrugs*
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: :P
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, I'll talk with you later. I got a coded message from EarthGov about Durran a moment ago. 6He smiles at the two, lowering the ramp and walking out. Zephyr continus to look in at Ariel from outside.
* `Cole motions towards the exit. "Would you mind accompaning me for dinner."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Maybe next time. *she clasps her hands together and makes her move towards the door* Well dears, it's time to clean up.
<Xanatos`Durran> That remind of you of the past Fox. *he winks at her*
* Ariel nods, "Take care." She returns her attention to Zephyr. Standing slowly, she wonders what to do with the little one.
<Kio> 14"I'm not sure to laugh, or get ready to hit the deck as Cass gets ready to kill you"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr waves and falls off the shuttle
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Xan...you have a ten second head start.
<Red_Fox> "Better get running."
* Xanatos`Durran smiles. "Shit you aint got nothing on these old bones." He jumps up and hops over his console, out of sight.
* Cassandra`Arakawa stands up and goes into the armory, whistling.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps into the security office, glancing at Cassandra, then at Durran. "Bad time?"
<Kio> 14"Can I help?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> *passes by Ceres who seems to have zoned out again and out the door*
* Ceres shakes her head and follows her out
<Red_Fox> "For Xan, yes."
* Ariel steps outside, "Careful now."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands back up, walking over. "Did you have fun?"
* Kio glances at Darien. 14"Oh you just missed Xanatos saying a bad pick up line"
* Ceres turns back to Kat, "I'm heading to bed I guess, you gonna stay here or...?"
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Pick up linee.....???
<DeathStar> <Darien> I see. I guess he figures he has nothing to lose now.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm going to stay here. 6She says with a nod.
<Kio> 14"Pretty much"
* Xanatos`Durran runs by Shiva, Ceres and the training room. Rounding the corner and out of sight.
* Cassandra`Arakawa walks out, holding a particular rifle.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks over to Durran's desk, writing a note and slapping it on his console. "Arakawa, I need to speak with you."
<Red_Fox> "Oh, I have to see this."
* Red_Fox heads out after Cass
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Yes, sir. Pity though...I wanted to try out this liquid nitrogen sprayer. *sets it back down and heads over to Darien*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits there, eyeing the chaos, then glances at the note, reading it, looking back down.
<Ariel> "I did quite enjoy myself, yes."
<Kio> 14"I can guess..Xanatos is leaving?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Did you engage in any date like behaviors?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes. He'll be transferring out by the end of November. 6He says with a nod. "Right before annual evaluations."
<DeathStar> <Darien> If we're still around in the beginning of the year, you'll need to find a replacement for him. 6He says to Cassandra.
<Red_Fox> "Figures that he'll ditch us as soon as something 'better' comes up.."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina punches the bag again.
<Ceres> Elsiah> "You blind Fox?"
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Someone is one to talk...*slaps Fox*
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Yes, sir.
<Ceres> Elsiah> "Cran's clearly winning the election, we're gonna be out of jobs round the time he leaves anyways."
<Kio> 14"Well hell..understandable..he has nothing to stay for"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm going to take a long, cold shower. 6He says with a tight nod, turning and exiting.
<Ariel> "Date like behaviors?"
<Red_Fox> "Well, I'M loyal to the end."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pulls out her teen book, showing her the descriptions.
<DeathStar> NRP: Teen date book.
<Red_Fox> NRP <Red Fox> "... to my purpose..."
* Xanatos`Durran is sitting in his shuttle, arms behind his head and a smile on his face.
* Kio tilts his head to Fox. 14"..but you just got here?"
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Alright...I see him.. *picks up the rifle and heads to the hangar*
<Ceres> Elsiah> "End's here... I'm just hopin they give me a decent assignment after this."
<Red_Fox> "... I was here in the beginning... I just... couldn't handle things..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits at his desk quietly as always, showing no signs of emotions or interest in the activiates around here.
<Red_Fox> "Then, I'll be loyal to my purpose."
<Kio> 14"Anyway...shall we spectate?"
* Retrieving #taw modes...
<Red_Fox> "Yes, lets."
* Red_Fox heads after Cass again
* DeathStar changes topic to '| PAX - http://thealienwars.tripod.com/PAX/ | (Current Weekly Schedule for Main Sessions) - Mondays at 9:00 EST, Tuesday - 8 EST, Wednesdays at 9:00 EST, Thursday - 8 EST. | Season 5: 12 of 22 completed | June 9th - Episode 100: Endgame. "For every ending, there is a beginning"'
* Kio nods, and gets up.
<DeathStar> NRP: I shall let you all end the session when you're doing shooting each other up
<Xanatos`Durran> nRP: Roger.
* Ariel just shakes her head, ammused. And starts back to her room.
* Kio follows on after Foxxy.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Ohhhhhh...Xan...momma spank. *sets foot on the shuttle ramp*
* Xanatos`Durran turns and smiles. "I always love when you spank me momma."
* Kio stops near the ramp, looking inside as a spectator.
<Red_Fox> "Yep, he's got a deathwish."
* Cassandra`Arakawa whistles and lowers the rifle at Xan...
* Xanatos`Durran lightly presses the closes the ramp button. "We don't want to let the kids see such horrors."
<Red_Fox> "... kids?"
* Cassandra`Arakawa presses some buttons on the side of the rifle and then aims for Xan's crotch.
* Xanatos`Durran arches a brow. "I sure hope that isn't a shrink ray."
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Sleeping
<Kio> 14"Well shit..don't happen to have X roy goggles do ya?"
<Xanatos`Durran> Careful now. I need that. *he says staring at Cassandra*
<Red_Fox> "Nope. I don't think there are any cameras in there, either."
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Going to have an apology or is little Xan going to need an electric blanket?
* Kio moves over to his shuttle, stepping onto the ramp.
* Xanatos`Durran sighs. "Do you have to ruin all my fun?"
* Kio turns it on, and makes the scanner pick up the little life blips! 14"Not as good as a front row seat, but it'll do!"
* Red_Fox heads on board, curious
* Xanatos`Durran stands and moves over to Cass, "I'm sorry. For bailing on you." Kio would just see two dots close together.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Let's see...mmm...I'm your CO...by definition...yes, I do.
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: We'll put thar before mine. @_@
<Cassandra`Arakawa> NRP: Ok.
* Kio crosses his arms. 14"This sucks"
<Red_Fox> "Yeah.."
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Look...you gotta do what you gotta do.
* Xanatos`Durran smiles and pats her on the shoulder. "If anyone asks, we just made out. I have a rep to keep you know." he winks at her and moves toward the ramp, hitting the button to open it.
<Red_Fox> "I wonder if they fought or made out..?"
* Red_Fox heads out of Kio's shuttle once more
<Kio> 14"Probably neither..." 2Gets up, and heads off.
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Riiiiight. *gets off the shuttle* He's freezing his balls off now. *heads for the security office*
* Kio calls out to Cassandra. 14"Ey, screw it..your duty just ended right?
* Xanatos`Durran smiles as Cassandra walks off. "You're turn Fox?" He winks as he steps down the ramp.
<Red_Fox> "... I don't have a freeze ray."
* Red_Fox grins, and heads back to the security office
<Kio> 14"..You can use my gun if you want"
<Cassandra`Arakawa> Almost there...
<Cassandra`Arakawa> NRP: And I'm about ready to end it here
<Xanatos`Durran> NRP: Indeed.
* Kio scratches his head, and looks over to Xanatos..laughing. 14"Man, your gonna get yourself killed before you leave"
<Cassandra`Arakawa> ~END SESSION~
