<DeathStar> Date: 10-615.4.24 (Year 7)
<DeathStar> Location: Black Mesa (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator they have entered in the lighthouse has begun to descend, then moves sideways out into the ocean where they see a huge undersea complex made of a strange black material, perhaps the mining material designed to help keep protect it from the pressures down below and off radar. The elevator follows the tube they are in, passing fishes as they approach the city
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei studies the base/city complex as they get closer, and Katrina frowns in thought
<DeathStar> <Em> I wonder what type of answers we'll find down here. 6* As they enter the complex, the elevator comes to a stop and depressurizing occurs. Lorelei looks at the team
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Be prepared - on the otherside, even if they are expecting Lorelei and her guards, there might be cameras and soldiers.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Bad vibes all around." *checks her weapons*
<AquaKoala> *Del nods in agreement, turning the safety off his revolver
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator doors open, and they find themselves in a small room to check out people - the area has a few terminals and scanning devices, along with a lot of cameras - three in various cameras. The terminals are behind a glass wall, where there are 5 people, and there are stairs movng up from where the elevator kind of bobs in the water to pass by said windows to a door that likely goes further into the complex
<AquaKoala> *Del looks about quietly
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei peers out; the people waiting begin to look suspicious
<DeathStar> <Em> I'll speed rush the cameras and take them out
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *nods and loads stun shells into her pistols*
<AquaKoala> *Del nods the same in his revolver
<DeathStar> 6* Em speeds out in a blur and uses her spear to take out the cameras on each side, destroying them. The people in the terminal eye their readings go out
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei hurries out and Hale and Katrina follow. Zephyr moves to step out when giant tentacles rise out of the water and grab Hale, jerking him under water to his unknown watery fate since no one wanted him. Em turns around confused and she gets taken too
<AquaKoala> *Del reels
<AquaKoala> Del> This is Ireland not Japan
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *steps through as well, leveling her pistols at the people behind the glass wall*
<DeathStar> 6* The people behind the glass hit the alarm
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Come on, lets hurry
<DeathStar> 6* She rushes for the door before the tentacles grab more. Zephyr fires into the water, hurrying for the door
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *nods and then moves through the door*
<AquaKoala> *Del grumbles and nods, moving quickly and fanning his revoler at the tentacles as he rushes
<DeathStar> 6* Josephine would find them locked
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Crack it."
<AquaKoala> *Del kicks the doors
<DeathStar> 6* The door is made of solid titantium.
<AquaKoala> Del> Ow
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "The lock..."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei looks over it, not seeing a lock
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It must be controlled to keep people out. 6* She pauses, eyeing the tentacles returning and gas leaking in
<AquaKoala> *Del fires at the tentacles
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fires and the monster retreats
<DeathStar> 6* Sparking
<DeathStar> 6* lorelei pulls out their bombs and sets it up in four places
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Back toi the elevator
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei hurries, holding her breath not needing to breathe and enters
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *heads back to the elevator*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr slides in and Katrina goes to enter when a laser turrent firees on Mem and blows her into the water, and she drags Katrina down with her
<AquaKoala> *Fel follows
<DeathStar> 6* The door explodes
<DeathStar> 6* And falls down
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei then rushes forward andl eaps through the smoke, with Zephyr peering in the water but sees nothing, frowning and hurries onward
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Shit shit shit, we're losing too many
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *dashes through the smoke and desbris through the door* "If we succeed, the reality reset will bring them back."
<AquaKoala> *Del rushes in
<DeathStar> 6* The are in one giant hallway, with guards lined up with strange shoulder cannons
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What the hell is that? 6* They fire a strange ball taht distorts reality and hits Zephyr, and she screams as she's ripped out of this reality
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> .... !
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Bad news!" *pulls out a grenade, jerks out the pin, and then tosses it down the hallway*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes about 12 of them
<DeathStar> *Lore
<AquaKoala> *Del fires rapidly at the shoulder cannons
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei forms her fire ninpo and tosses it at the grenade, setting it off early, and blowsd it up
<DeathStar> 6* The tight hallway rocks with the explosion and shakes them back, so Delano can't see where to fire
<AquaKoala> *Del stops
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *elepathically* ~Move before they recover!~
<DeathStar> 6* And as it clears, they managed to get all 12. The hallway seems to go downward for quite some ways, going to a T intersection
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> The question is where to go
<AquaKoala> *Del reloads "Right."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei hurries onward, stepping over bodies
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Their armor looked more impressive than it actually was..." *walks after Lore through the killing field*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We don't knwo what is further in - this is a research facility
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei looks at them
<AquaKoala> Del> Probably research
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Left or right
<AquaKoala> Del> Right is right
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile the elevator finally goes back to the lighthouse
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei shrugs and goes right
<Kaelan> * Tabetha looks at her guards and motions to be let in. "WOnder what we will find."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *keeps to the right after Lore*
<AquaKoala> *Del follows then blinks at Tabetha
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei walks down the hallway and they come to what looks like an elevator, with words beside it, reading what levels
<DeathStar> Level 1: Entry,
<DeathStar> Level 2: Barracks/Living Quarters
<DeathStar> Level 3: Recreation
<DeathStar> Level 4: Research A - Weaponry
<DeathStar> Level 5: Research B - Ships
<DeathStar> Level 6: Research C - Classified
<AquaKoala> Del> Classified certainly sounds promising.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei nods and hits the open button
<DeathStar> 6* Behind them, it sounds like more troops are arriving, perhaps there are more elevators
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "And harder to get into. We likely need a pass or something."
<AquaKoala> *Drl goes into his pack and starts to plant a claymore
<Kaelan> * Tabetha goes down with her guards.
<DeathStar> 6* Tabethea is not in the scenes yet
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei walks onto the elevator
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *steps on to the elevator*
<AquaKoala> *Del follows
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei hits the button for Level 6, but nothing happens. She hits a few more times, then looks over, noticing a card slot. She eyes Tabethea's card and tries sliding it in
<DeathStar> 6* It dings and the doors cloise
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Lucky."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Sometimes things work out for us. Sometimes
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...and into the heart of darkness."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei waits as 5 minutes pass as they go down and then the doors ding open, with a single hallway and a camera, as well as a reinforced door with the same material as the base. And a handprint
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei frowns, kneeling and thinking
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We could have used Hale - he might have been able to trick the handprint
<AquaKoala> Del> More explosives maybe?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I do not know even recognize what this is made of
<DeathStar> 6* She hits Level 5 and then rips out a panel
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei then forces the door open between floors
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei feels along to see if there is a worker's hatch, then opens the top of the elevator and climbs out
<AquaKoala> *Del shrugs and follows
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Have a plan then?" *pulls herself up*
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei looks around
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It has to get air somewhere unless it's on a self contained air system
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei cocks her head up the elevator shaft, looking for some vent
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "With the size of this base, the ventilation system would need to be...welll... crawlable, to maintain proper air movement."
<AquaKoala> *Del shines a torch
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Right. 6* She spots one 10 feet aobve them,
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Looks like I didn't quite stop it right. Alright, lift?
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Lighthouse
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator arrives
<DeathStar> 6* The two men go to enter when a figure walks up behind them
<Kaelan> * Tabetha starts to get on as well.
<DeathStar> 6* The two men turn to aim their guns, then pale
<Kaelan> * Tabetha blinks and turns forming a gun. "Mmm?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands there, holding a dog carrier
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "Oh hi Cheryl!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Are you the two fools who let the enemy get on? *The two men turn, eye each other, then run for it. Cheryl turns, watching them, then taps a button, blowing up devices in their clothing*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns back to Tabetha.
<Kaelan> * Tabetha blinks. "Aww, they were nice."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Come Tabetha. We need to go protect your toys. *She steps into the elevator, setting the carrier down and there is a grunt inside of a human girl voice*
<Kaelan> * Tabetha nods and gets on.
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "What's in the crate?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hits the go button
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Insurance against an unruly daughter.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Asteroid C
<DeathStar> 6* Oui finishes reading the manual on how to move Asteroid C through hyperspace
<DeathStar> <X> Being in this reality, I imagine that the enemy EarthGov will have a large fleet.
<DeathStar> 6* Oui sits where Airym sits, pulling the stickers off that say Be Airym
<Kaelan> Si> That would seem likely/
<AquaKoala> Jade> Agreed
<DeathStar> <X> It would be unwise to put this station in jeapordy until we get everyone off - and we cannot do that until we get our reality back since not everyone could be innoculated.
<Chain> 6*Kitty nods
<Kaelan> Si> "So what do we do?"
<DeathStar> <X> Yet at the same time we might not be able to get to the "Faux Centerpoint" without a battleship, which is what Asteroid C.
<DeathStar> 6* X leans forward, studying the Sol System
<Chain> <Kitty> do we have smaller vessels?
<DeathStar> <X> Several. I would suggest, Kitty, since you are Taiga's second in command...
<Chain> <Kitty>I'll go
<DeathStar> <X> *she brings up Sol System* To jump Asteroid C to Jupiter, specifically behind this moon
<DeathStar> 6* She points
<AquaKoala> Jade> I'll go too
<DeathStar> <X> In our reality it is a colony. WE three can go in a shuttle then from that location and attempt to reach Centerpoint
<Kaelan> * Si wonders if she was innoculated.
<Chain> <Kitty> but they might need you hear mom
<Chain> <Kitty> having the two main ripplers gone
<DeathStar> 6* X hestiates, then nods
<DeathStar> <X> Still, I suggest you do this
<Chain> 6*Kitty nods
<DeathStar> <X> If we can damage it enough for our reality to return, we can unload our passengers at the colony and you can bring in Asteroid C as a weapon on remote
<DeathStar> <X> We will figure out someway.
<DeathStar> <X> Also if we can bring back our reality, we can use the PAX.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis speaks up
<DeathStar> <Isis> I can find a way to try to patch this station for you
<Kaelan> Si> Fuuu.
<DeathStar> 6* Shion muses, then gets into battle armor unseen and heads for Kitty'sd shuttle
<Chain> <Kitty> really Mrs.Nue?
<DeathStar> <Isis> Yes. If we knew where this reality's PAX was, you said it was more battle oriented. That would be of a help. But we can't use it since this Erevis left. For now, though, I'll do what patching I can until Airym returns
<DeathStar> 6* Isis moves for the computer
<DeathStar> 6* Shion tries to hire the rest of the Nue kids to join her discreetly
<Chain> 6*Kitty hugs Isis then turns to Jade
<AquaKoala> *Horus eyes Shion
<Chain> <Kitty> lets get suited up
<AquaKoala> *Jade nods
<Kaelan> Si> Can you use a junior mechanic, Momma Isis?
<DeathStar> 6* Shion looks cute
<DeathStar> <Isis> Sure
<DeathStar> 6* Wearing a mini battle suit with cannons and a jet pack
<Kaelan> * Si smiles and moves to help.
<DeathStar> 6* Oui moves to get into her battle suit she used before
<AquaKoala> *Del sighs at Shion
<DeathStar> (Shion screams at Del being her bro)
<DeathStar> 6* X sits down in Taiga's chair, remaining behind to protect and feeling old
<DeathStar> 6* Umi, back with her pups, would notice one of them is missing oddly - apparantly having been missing since all there were supposed to have been gathered.
<Chain> 6*Umi blinks and whines, looking as Kitty changes
<AquaKoala> Horus> Don't get hurt
<Chain> 6*Umi sniffs and looks for her missing pup
<AquaKoala> *He pats Shion's head
<DeathStar> 6* Shion hugs and pounces off. No matter where Umi looks, Lumi doesn't appear to be on the ship for the last few days.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis strips down to her mechanic outfit, moving past Miyuki to work in the engine section to patch in what they need before they jump
<Chain> 6*Umi's stomach drops trying to see where she might have gone
<Chain> 6*Miyuki peers out
<Kaelan> * Si moves to help, bunny ears wiggling
<DeathStar> 6* It seems none of her stuff is on the station and since no one has left outside Taiga, and there's no smell leading, it's like she didn't get on the station during the rush a while back. Or someone grabbed her in the rush
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Black Mesa
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei crawls through the vents and finally whispers
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I think we are past where we wanted to be
<AquaKoala> *Del nods
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei tries to look down through an opening, into what looks to be the research lab - it's a large open area with a large space but it';s too hard tyo see up here
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Can you two cut or bust open the vent
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *nods and pulls out a combat knife, moving to try to pry the grate open*
<AquaKoala> *Del helps
<DeathStar> 6* The grate opens and Lorelei leaps down, using her ninpo to land gently.
<DeathStar> 
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *drops down on to the floor below*
<AquaKoala> *Del climbs down
<DeathStar> 6* Around her is a giant labatory, with what looks to be mini gates, similiar to the Light Gate but different. There are various large tubes with energy swirling around in them and on tables are broken shards for experiments.
<AquaKoala> *Del blinks
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *looks over at Lorelei* "The crystal bits look familiar."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hm. I think it's a shard - like the one that started this.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Question is... have they been smashing them up intentionally? No wonder everything is so jacked up."
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes them, about 5 broken ones here at least.
<DeathStar> 6* The door to the lab opens and Cheryl and Tabetha walk in
<AquaKoala> *Del reels
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Gather your most important lab equipment and the broken shards he gave us to work with
<Kaelan> * Tabetha has a gun summoned, frowning at people in her lab, she nods and starts to float things up as she moves along to one side.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Also broken down your Tab Gate so we can move it to another facility
<AquaKoala> *Del lunges behing some equipment
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei ducks
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "Will do!"
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *hides
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We'll likely need to crossover to interrogate the prisoners that we captured today anyway.
<Kaelan> * She holds out her other hand like she's conducting a symphony, floating up a container and then the shards into it. "Oh? Gonna need me to probe minds again?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *She sets the dog carrier down and Lorelei's eyes widen, spotting Lumi inside in dog form*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Perhaps. I have a feeling my daughter is still here.
<AquaKoala> *Del looks back and forth, thinking
<Kaelan> * Tabetha nods half listening as she starts breaking down equipment and putting it in cases.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl speaks out
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You didn't tell me I had a grandchild, Lorelei.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That makes me very, very sad.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei rolls under a desk, trying to get closer
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I know your sister would want a few words with you if she wasn't already being sent to deal with your other sister, Taiga.
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "Hum hum hum..." *she lets one packing finish as she -moves for her Tab-gate*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along slowly, placing something on the dog cage that blinks
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei motions at the other two, then points at TAb
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *nods and readies her pistols*
<AquaKoala> *Del nods, moving to intercept Tab stealthily
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, turning toward Delano and Lorelei leaps out and tackles her mom in a bear hug
<Kaelan> * Tabetha starts working on the gate.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *rolls out of cover and then aims and fires some stun rounds at Tab*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists and elbows her in a gut a few times, twisting and judo throwing Lorelei into a tank of reality liquid experimental goo
<Kaelan> * Tabetha blinks as she starts to roll and steps out of the way of the stun rounds like Spade.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> <Not sure if it'll work, but if you two have...my antibodies, if you can use your blood to get her to snap out of it...>
<AquaKoala> *Del rushes in at Tab, extending a baton
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *rolls back into cover*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl forms her whip and cracks it at Lorelei, who flips, forming ninpo flame, striking at Cheryl, who dodges, having locked onto Lorelei. The two circle each other, attakcing and dodging
<Kaelan> * Tabetha turns to fire at Del as he charges, blinking a little as she tries to move back and keep some distance.
<AquaKoala> *Del slides under the fire and fires up at her
<AquaKoala> *Stun rounds of course
<Jackieness> <Josephine> ~On it~ *pulls out her combat knife and runs it along her own hand, making a fist as she moves from cover to cover to close with Cheryl*
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei then forms a pillar wave of energy at Cheryl, not able to do a full lock on like Taiga, but uses her pheromone senses to daze Cheryl, striking her back
<Kaelan> * She steps back from the firing, seeming to be able to react to at least one thing ahead of time. She tries to adjust her fire.
<AquaKoala> *Del throws the stun baton at her and fires more
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flips and lands
<Kaelan> * Tabetha seems to calculate, stepping out of the fire but taking the stun, falling back.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Naughty girl. 6* Lumi meanwhile uses her energy to attack the bomb on her cage, trying to jostle if off without blowing it up
<AquaKoala> *Del rushes in to pin her, slicing his hand as he does
<AquaKoala> Del> Jose, get to Lumi!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl spins and throws her whip out at Lorelei, catching her leg and throws her through a table
<Kaelan> * Tabetha blinks and tries to get up, gasping as she's pinned, then looking confused as Del cuts himself.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *rolls out of cover and darts to grab the Lumi cage, while knkcing away the bomb*
<AquaKoala> *Del pushes his hand over her mouth and bleeds at her
<Kaelan> * Tabetha splutter and squirms, but some gets in her mouth.
<DeathStar> 6* Tabetha would get about 50% of her mind back, which would likely result in a little schizophrenia but
<DeathStar> 6* It would snap her back
<AquaKoala> Del> Sorry Tab, Greater Good and all that
<DeathStar> 6* The bomb blows up and Lumi leaps out
<Kaelan> * Tabetha jerks and looks confused, shaking her head. "What... the fuck... who..."
<DeathStar> 6* Formiong into her humanoid girl mode
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei smashes a glass tube and rushes, cutting Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Then slams her face first into it, trying to use her reality unpredictability, then swityches places with Josephine
<DeathStar> 6* Knowing Cheryl isn't locked onto Josephine
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks, 1 foot away from Jose
<DeathStar> 6* Then whips at her
<AquaKoala> *Del bandages his hand "Tab, what looks inportant in this room."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *punches at Cheryl's mouth with her bloody fist*
<Kaelan> * Tabetha shakes her head, shuddering. "Wh-Where am... my equipment... the fuck..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is punched, stumbling back
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl spits out some blood, shaking her head and eyeing Josephine
<AquaKoala> Del> Tabetha, what is important in this room
<Kaelan> * Tabetha goes slack a moment, then licks his hand a little, looking around. "Umm... my gate and the shards?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei focuses, her fire ninpo and leaps in over Josephine, sliding and striking her
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Swallow
<AquaKoala> *Del nods and gathers up everything she doesn't have already
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl spins, whipping and tangling her, but Lumi rushes in with Umi's speed and kicks her in the stomach in the arm and spins, biting her
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "Did I build that...? It... can send us places... ugh..." *she holds her head*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ungh...
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *rolls to one side and then dashes forward, trying to press her hand to Cheryl's mouth*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6*She holkds her head, slowing down finally, then gets caught by Josephine*
<AquaKoala> Del> Anywhere? Like into space?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finally falls back, coughing and sputtering as some of her mind returns, more than Tabetha's since Del was at 70%
<DeathStar> 6* Tabetha would know it sends them back into their own reality
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "Our reality."
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "Your... no our reality. Del-pants."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands there then slams her fists into the table, screaming in rage. Lumi backs off and Lorelei hugs
<AquaKoala> *Del nods
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Again. AGAIN
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Mom? Was your father behind all this?
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "Prisoners... we have prisoners... they have prisoners. The ones Cheryl mentioned..."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "The Cran thing?"
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "What prisoners?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, I followed his orders again. But no
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Cran was getting this tech from someone else
<Kaelan> Tabetha> The rest of the group I think.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves, motioning Tabetha to help her reassemble the Gate so they can get Zephyr, Hale, Mem, and Katrina
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Cran was just following orders?
<Kaelan> * Tabetha nods and gets to it, swaying oddly as she does.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...who?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... yeah. *she rubs her face* His face was strangely all blurred like an algratham of people. He said he would help Cran achieve victory against his enemies. He gave him tools from before this time. And he began changing history. Every event we knew he seemed to know it. Up to a certain point.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He specifically wnated help finding 5 shards that he destroyed.
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "Leira..." *she mumbles as she starts finishing up the gate and setting it up*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think because of that it's why he can't be seen well
<Jackieness> "...C?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lumi leans against lorelei
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...C?"
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "What's a C?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If you want to call him that. He said that he was a lot like Cran in ways and to call him C. He said doing that would ensure no one would figure out who he was anyway
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Anyway, he's in our reality, whenever we switch to this nightmare, he remains in ours
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Some guy called C became president... somehow."
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "I was gonna vote for Johnny..."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I think because no one is in our reality when we're here
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei looks to the side since what happened to John, then nods
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lets go through the portal
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hits the on button and it begins to run
<DeathStar> 6* She steps through slowly
<Kaelan> * Tabetha follows.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei and Lumi walk through
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Come on then." *walks through*
<AquaKoala> *Del follows
<DeathStar> 6* The gate seems to take them out into the same location, though the colors seem less dark, perhaps an indication. Tabetha and Cheryl and Del's minds clear being home.
<DeathStar> 6* A guard standing on duty steps forward with a shot to give TAb her shot once over
<DeathStar> 6* To make sure she works, blinking at Cheryl being there and getting two ready. On the wall is Zephyr, Mem, Katrina, Em, and Hale all naked and tied up, with various tools hooked up to rebrainwash them.
<Kaelan> * Tabetha rubs her head, she then slowly looks over at the guard and tries to trick him into thinking he gives her the shot while she avoids it.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard wears a mask and faceplate
<DeathStar> 6* His mind feels alien
<DeathStar> 6* And resistant - though the species is familiar
<Jackieness> <Josephine> ~Say when, I have stun shots still.~
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just punches the faceplate and armor, cracking
<Kaelan> * Tabetha frowns and shifts back a little.
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "He's not human."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck it. 6* She blinks when the g uard picks her up easily, throwing her
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hits the wall, grunting
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *walks over and fires a stun shot at the guard* "When."
<Kaelan> * Tabetha blinks and tries to TK the guard backwards.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard is hit, stumbling, then is thrown backwards
<DeathStar> 6* The guard pulls out out a giant sword, walking forward almost like they were brainwashed themselves, then leaps into the air
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *fires some follow up shots when she sees he's a toughie*
<DeathStar> 6* Lumi rolls into mini giant dog form, biting the leg
<DeathStar> 6* The guard is hit and falls onto their back
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "Brainwashed
<Kaelan> * Tabetha frowns. "Get the face mask off."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *leaps over and then tries to remove the mask*
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei moves over and unclicks and yanks it off, revealing the thought to be dead Shretrav. In fact undoubtedly she was dead before all this.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...oh boy. This is a total diplomatic incident."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl works on pulling the armor completely off, revealing what looks to be a slinky slave outfit
<Kaelan> * Tabetha moves to the others and works on getting them disconnected.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Why would a dead hero be down here brainwashing people? 6* Zephyr falls forward, groaning in pain and Katrina opens her eyes, helping the others mentally
<AquaKoala> *Del moves to release them
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei checks her datapad, scanning and varifying there is no one else in the area - then pauses.
<Kaelan> * Tabetha frowns and helps the others to recover as well. "I think because she was brainwashed to do so."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Because she was brainwashed herself, prbably."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It seems there is no holovid signatures, nothing; but I am picking up two things
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves over to Shretrav
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "Or is the dead part what matters?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I will try to unbrainwash her. But we likely should try to get out of here
<DeathStar> 6* Lumi pockets the shard pieces from before for Tavetha
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What is that?
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "I don't like it here... how many times did they brainwash me here...?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Well, Earth is deserted, as is all of the universe it seems - except the Executive Building. I am picking up signals there, emitting toward the second thing
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> A black hole in space, and I think Centerpoint is in it
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "This C guy is controlling it from there?"
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...why are the people missing?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Likely they are in the nightmare reality
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Since the two realities are merging and switching back and forth
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "So to Mega City then?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> LEts get to the Executive Building, see what is up, and see if we can wake Shretrav -- then head up to the Black Hole
<DeathStar> 6* She nods
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-615.4.25
<DeathStar> Location: Asteroid C
<DeathStar> 6* Isis walks up smeared in oil and grease and nods to X, who taps a button - after working hard for the last 7 hours, they have it where they want
<DeathStar> <X> We are going to begin the hyperspace jump to the moon of Europa, Kitty
<Kaelan> * Si stretches, also coverd in grease.
<DeathStar> 6* Shion hides along with any other of the heroic kids who come along
<Chain> <Kitty> I'm ready
<DeathStar> 6* Oui sits by Kitty in her armor
<Chain> 6*Kitty is settled into the smaller shuttle
<AquaKoala> *Jade is at the ready
<DeathStar> 6* X jumps the large station and they appear behind the moon, the large gas giant behind them in their sensors.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis taps a button
<DeathStar> <Isis> I tied the controls of the station to your datapad - do not lose it.
<DeathStar> <Isis> When you need to call on the station, do so
<DeathStar> 6* She sits back, looking for a Miyuki chair
<Kaelan> Si> "Fuuu."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki's chair is plush and expensive looking
<Chain> <Kitty> I will
<AquaKoala> *Jade has brought a Teddy bobblehead for the shuttles dashboard
<DeathStar> 6* Isis sits on Miyuki and sighs in relief, playing with the 1 year olds. Rin sits by Shion
<DeathStar> 6* X opens the shuttle bay doors
<AquaKoala> *It bobbles
<DeathStar> <X> May the Weapon go with you, Kitty. And I love you
<Kaelan> Si> "Good luck!"
<Chain> <Kitty> I love you to mom, tell Dad I'll be ok and we'll be back soon
<Chain> 6*Kitty steers them out
<DeathStar> <X> I will - I will also whip your boy into a man and get him to propose like Em wants instead of sticking things into you
<DeathStar> <X> Then stick things into you both
<DeathStar> 6* She ends communication
<AquaKoala> Jade> Your mom is weird sometimes
<DeathStar> 6* The cloaking button is to the right switch
<Chain> <Kitty> yeah but she wouldnt be my mom other wise
<Kaelan> Si> "Just do what my Moms did X, threaten to use a Beta to spank him."
<Kaelan> * Si refers to Mal.
<DeathStar> <X> Your Betas are beyond natural. But if he does not man up I will consider
<Chain> 6*once out Kitty cloaks and heads towards their destination
<Kaelan> * Si nods. "Just give me the signal. Mom did rebuild Dakota into a 4.0 version. This time with streamers."
<DeathStar> 6* As they fly from Jupiter, they see a massive fleet, this EarthGov geared up for war. The head flag ship has Admiral Gordon Paladin saying a small prayer as his scanners pick them up
<DeathStar> 6* Then lose them
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Hmmm...
<DeathStar> 6* He squints
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Men, search pattern God, see if you can find whatever we picked up
<AquaKoala> *Jade blinks at the fleet "Daaaaaamn"
<DeathStar> 6* The fleet sends out ships and shuttles to see if they can discover them, including Dragoon Alpha Hotaru who zips around quietly
<Chain> 6*Kitty quietly pilots them around
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Executive Building
<DeathStar> 6* After spending a few hours getting out and traveling along, and working on Shretrav, the group arrives at the house, having driven along the quiet streets
<DeathStar> 6* Entering the lobby, they lay down the Tsivrixsh woman as she begins to stir, opening her eyes and looking around
<AquaKoala> Del> Bastard stole my office *He grumbles
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl has her arms crossed, peering at the stairs, while Lorelei scans, the signal upstairs. She blinks, picking up a new shuttle nearing the blackhole, with lots of lifeforms inside
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Eh? *she eyes the shuttle, being one of the Reality Strikers, and how it comes out of nowhere as it enters the blackhole radius, entering the Centerpoint*
<Kaelan> * Tabetha peers around. "Could have been Johnny's office."
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> ..where...am I?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lays her hand on Shretrav
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...can we not talk politics?"
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> It is okay. You are among friends again
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "Back in Kansas... or the executive building."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds her guns again, looking around
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to glance when Shretrav speaks
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> All of you---how? I'm alive...
<Kaelan> * Tabetha glances at Zephyr a moment, then away, frowning a little. She focuses on Shretrav.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes. You're alive. Which we are very curious about
<AquaKoala> Del> Yep
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "Maybe he kidnapped that frankenstein doctor too?"
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "The Erusian ambassador will be happy to see you. Assuming we fix things so she exists again."
<DeathStar> 6* The clothes the group is wearing, outside Lorelei, Josephine, and Mem, seem to shift
<Kaelan> * Tabetha peers down. "Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Oh no. I remember---he brought me back to life to punish me
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Who is 'he'?
<Kaelan> Tabetha> "Someone must really hate you."
<AquaKoala> *Del eyes his new clothes
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "..who? And don't say Xevil."
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> I? *she grabs her head* I am having trouble remembering. *suddenly, she grabs her throat as the slave clothes tighten around her*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks and steps back as Cheryl's outfit tightens and begins to strangle her, burning aflame suddenly
<AquaKoala> *Del blinks and starts to try and cut his off
<Kaelan> * Tabetha blinks and tries to TK Cheryl's clothes off her, pulling her own off just in case.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "John was right about the clothes!"
<DeathStar> 6* Lumi rips Del's off
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *pulls her combat knife and tries to cut Shrevtrav's loose*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gasps, kneeling there naked and Katrina grabs her sabre, woprking on cutting the metal clothing off
<AquaKoala> *Del moves to help Shretrav
<DeathStar> 6* Together, Josephine and Cheryl work on getting the metal clothing off
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Centerpoint Faux
<DeathStar> 6* Having gotten around all the patrols and landed on the inner part of the Centerpoint planet, Jade, Kitty, and Oui step off, Shion and her gang hiding so far as not to be seen.
<AquaKoala> *Jade steps out, looking around
<Chain> 6*Kitty looks about and moves in quietly
<DeathStar> 6* The beautiful crystaline planet as shiny and new as they remember, outside the fact it's inside a blackhole that isn't quite suckingh it down somehow, and the fact it's fading in and out. As Oui looks around, suddenly a powerful surge of power strikes all three, sapping them of their strength and energy, dropping them to their knees. For good power, a blue fist slams into their jaws; first Oui, then Jade, and finally Kitty. Pulling Kitty up by ther hair, a rough voice speaks
<Chain> 6*Kitty cries out in pain
<DeathStar> <Voice> I didn't expect you all to catch up to me so fast, but it seems time has run out. As Josephine said below just now...6* Xevil yanks her close to his red eyes
<DeathStar> <Xevil> Not me again
<DeathStar> -To Be Concluded-
