01<@DeathStar> -0-
01<@DeathStar> 6* On the base, a day has passed since the capture of Virulent, and so far she's given them nothing, staring in silence during interrogations. Caesura has been confined to some quarters, with a guard posted outside her room, and the rest of the team has been left with wondering what to do next; Warren currently works on decrypting files from the base they raided
01<@DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits on a bench, eyes closed, relaxing after trying to scan Virulent's mind. Cheryl is in the swimming pool, swimming to work out anger, and Trigger mewls at Zephyr
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus works out in the rec room, smashing into a punching bag, apparently pretty much good to go thanks to Cad.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos sits by Erevis, working on massaging her shoulders to help her relax.
<Seraphna> * Jonas is training, his fists working over a punching bag, not half bad when it comes to hand to hand, he delivers a solid blow to the center of the bag, causing it to slide back on it's rail.
01<@DeathStar> <Erevis> She is a stubborn woman full of hate. I do not think they will break her easily.
<Eluere> 6Megumi sits on the edge of the pull, kicking her feet in the water with her head tilted curiously.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The punching bags are punched
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps at her laps, pushing herself as hard as she can, not seeming to notice Megumi watching her
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> But we will, in time. 6He says with a firm tone.
<Seraphna> * Jonas steps forward and steadies his, then moves over to Marcus'. "Looks like you're tryin to kill the poor thing."
<Eluere> <Megumi> MeerrOOOOwl.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her. "What?"
<Eluere> 6Megumi pauses, then smiles, waving cheerfully.
01<@DeathStar> <Erevis> But how far should one go before it is too far?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps eyeing her, then grabs her foot and pulls Megumi in
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> That's a question that you must answer for yourself.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses after a second and then glances to Jonas. 1How long you been in love with Cheryl?
01<@DeathStar> <Erevis> Now that we have her captured, and she can do no more harm, I do not feel I could rip information from her mind. I am not in the military because I wish to be my own person
<Seraphna> * Jonas raises a brow. "Love? I like the girl, not sure about declaring love though."
<Eluere> <Megumi> Mrraiiiee!?" 6She thrashes as she falls in, then pops up, her ears sulking. 1"MrrOOWwll!"
01<@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What, cats don't like the water? 6* She says dryly, before resuming
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Sure follow her around like a...6He snarls slightly and glances back to the bag. 1Pup.
<Eluere> 6Megumi peers at Cheryl, narrowing her eyes-- then a moment later comes surging past Cheryl underwater, swimming with only her feet-- and moving in unison
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> And it's notions like that, which remind me why I love you. You are a truly wonderful person.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Leaving her be right now, aren't I?" *he moves over to brace the punching bag for Marcus*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers down, then grunts, speeding up to try to go faster.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks, then blushes slightly. "I--- am just merely speaking what I feel is correct..."
<Eluere> 6Megumi almost seems to sneer at her under the water, her gigling a gurgle of bubbles in the water that break at the surface as she makes a mad dash around the pool in an eel or dolphin like manner using the length of her body.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sneers. 1S'pose so. 6He shifts to begin hitting the bag, putting a little more umph in it, just for the sake of being a man and 'proving' he's better than Jonas. 1She wouldn't settle down. Not the type.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares, pausing. "The hell..."
<Seraphna> * Jonas holds it steady, he smiles a bit. "I bet. Though it'd be a strange person looking for someone ready to settle down in a unit like this. I just like her."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I know. That makes it even better. Me, I've done some bad things, not even sure where my line is much these days.
01<@DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. I believe your line will always be a good one, and I will support you no matter where it may lay.
<Eluere> 6Megumi archers upward at the surface, breaking and making a graceful turn in the air, slipping back in with a dive and hardly any splash, swimming undeneath the surface until she returns to Cheryl where she surfaces and treads, giggling with a happy face.
01<@DeathStar> <Cheryl> PRetty impressive, fora cat.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Hard to hold onto that good line when the person that killed an old ally is in there withholding helpful information.
<Eluere> <Megumi> Mya?" 6She tilts her head.
01<@DeathStar> <Erevis> MAybe so; I could not judge others if they were to try to force it out of her, even if I myself do not think it is right; if someone killed you or Kitten, I would likely be the same way.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "How're you holdin up?"
01<@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe one day I'll have you teach me ho you did that shit. 6* She climbs out of the pool, wearing a bra and underwear as a bathing suit
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Angry and violent. 6he shift to an elbow and then a knee, doing a bit of muay thai. 1So the same.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "How much of it is you, how much of it is the wolf?"
<Eluere> 6Megumi clambers out less gracefully, then blinks. 1"Easy swim! Megumi have motion of ocean." 6She holds her hands over her head and rolls her body back and forth in a wave-like manner, giggling.
<Eluere> <Megumi> Practice flexibility Erevis say.
01<@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Motion of the...ocean.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Don't much notice a difference anymore. 6He slides back and throws out a few kicks and spins around into a strong elbow.
01<@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why practice that?
<Seraphna> * Jonas grunts a little, but seems to take it well. "Perhaps that should worry you."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Trigger prances into the training room with Marcus and Jonas, mewling up at Jonas
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm really shocked the others haven't busted in, they must really want to uphold their promises.
<Eluere> 6Megumi rubs her finger along her lips. 1"Megumi always have." 6She shifts and drops down in forward splits, then leans back until her elbows touch the ground behind her, her chest up.
01<@DeathStar> <Erevis> I think even Cheryl would be ashamed to break a promise to Zephyr; though she only said on the base. Once they transfer the prisoner to another location, that promise will no longer hold
<Seraphna> * Jonas steps back from the training bag to let Marcus go at it on his own, moving over to pick up Trigger.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Eh. Can't worry about that till all of this is over. 6He says in a snort, stepping back to bounce on hills, eyeing the kat.
<Xanatos> NRP: cat
01<@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Impressive; bet the guys will love that. 6* She notes in a huff
<Seraphna> Jonas> "You might want to, you might end up doing something you regret if you let the wolf take control."
<Seraphna> * Jonas pets trigger.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Trigger purrs
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm sure if it takes control someone will put me down. There's no science to stop me, nothing but some weird ass box that could even help me.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "I'm sure we could think of some science that might help."
<Eluere> 6Megumi then leans to the side and in a circular motion returns to bending forward, her forehead touching the floor in front of her, then she rolls forward and windmills to her feet, her upper body following the motion and her arms and hands outstretched also in perfect balance until she's in hand-to-hand poise with her fingers bent, but palms presented-- like eastern arts based on qi and chi
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I wonder if anyone else have even considered that?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls on her favorite coat when the base alarms go off
<Eluere> <Megumi> Meerreeeoow!?" 6She leaps, startled, peering around suddenly.
<Seraphna> * Jonas raises a brow. "Well shit, they're playing our song."
<Seraphna> * Jonas moves to the door. "Need anything from the armory?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns and immediately rushes off down the hallway. Outside there's gun fire.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances up and shakes his head. 1Everything I need is here. 6He motions to his coat as he moves over to kneel and put it on, moving out of the work out area.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances up and then stands, checking his pistols. 1Suppose we should help out.
<Seraphna> * Jonas heads to the armor, dropping his cat by his door on the way, he pulls off his work out clothes and quickly dons his tact suit and armor, grabbing a weapons harness, he moves out with his shotgun and rifle, sidearm already with him.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods and rises. The interrogation room busts open, sizzling with acid and Virulent steps out. She eyes Erevis and Xanatos, pauses, then goes the opposite way from them.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and points. 1That's uh. Bad. We should stop her. 6He hits his comm and lets Warren know Virulent escaped.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns. "We should becareful; her touch is lethal. It is strange she did not try to take us out before our weapons were readied." 6* She grabs her bo staff
<Eluere> 6Megumi makes a face, holding her hands over her ears, then sprints down the hallway-- rendevezous with Erevis.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Warren doesn't respond, but the gunfire outside is getting closer. There's a boom sound
<Seraphna> * Jonas heads to Caesura's room, pulling on the mask. He sets his shotgun to stun.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts his pistols to stun and moves after Virulent. Meanwhile Marcus moves for the outside.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As Jonas reaches Caesura's room, he'd find Cheryl holding her like a shield, her arm around her throat, facing Virulent, who has found Zephyr, placing her fingernails against Zeph's face. Erevis, MEg, and Xan rush up behind Virulent, but she pays them little mind, since all it'll take is a scratch
<Eluere> 6Dawn equips himself with a tactical suit that's been aesthetically redesigned like some sort of female video game espionage outfit complete with a plethora of knives and daggers of varied lengths in hoslters along the body and several toolbelts and pockets.
<Eluere> 6Then goes toward Warren.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Outside, Marcus would find Warren firing at VI troops trying to get into the base; they've just blown open the military gates and are trying to pour in. There seems to be 20 of them
<Eluere> <Megumi> Meerowl!? Zephyr!!
<Seraphna> * Jonas frowns, shotgun cocked at the ready, he looks at the mexican standoff and weighs his choices.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pulls out his pistol and begins to fire towards the VI troops, moving for cover.
01<@DeathStar> <Virulent> Release her. <Cheryl> Not a chance. <Virulent> I will kill her. <Cheryl> And I'll kill your sister.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> How about we let them both go and jsut calm down? Is that an option? I think it should be an option.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Virulent glare at each other, neither moving. Caesura trembles in fear, looking at her sister worriedly and pleadingly, though it's hard what she's pleading for
<Seraphna> Jonas> "This is only going to end up bad for both sides. You won't help your sister like this, Virulent."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Warren rushes up behind a car, firing over it at the troopers. They jerk as the fire comes in and some fall to it, while others take up positions behind cards, too
<Eluere> <Dawn> Carmichael, Jones. Are these all of them? Or are they just a feint?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus begins to overcharge the pistol and throws it out so that it would slide under one of the car, hopefully taking the whole thing out when it goes off.
01<@DeathStar> <Virulent> I'm dead either way. I'll get my sister out of here.
<Eluere> <Megumi> No one dead!! Stop threatening! Both good people, no need kill!!
01<@DeathStar> <Warren> So far sensors are only picking up these soldiers. 6* The car explodes, and four soldiers tumble out in a firey death. They lob grenades at the van Warren is using
<Seraphna> Jonas> "We're not going to kill you, and harming Zephyr will mean she never gets out of here. Think for a moment."
<Eluere> 6Dawn holds up his hand, focusing, stopping their descent-- then repels the grenade sback
01<@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands very still, her hand wiggling out a bit, as if trying to touch Megumi despite the distance. A gear has little worry for poison
01<@DeathStar> 6* The grenade blows up a few more, surprised at such a manuever. A shuttle flies in overhead and a gunner leans out, firing bullets down at them from above
<Seraphna> Jonas> "There's a way you can both get out of this alive, but you need to calm down and let the girl go."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I promise that I won't let anyone kill you as long as you're being held here.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "I'll back him on that."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slips a ripple blade out and activates it, then shifts to slide over the hood of the car he's on and advance towards one of the cars the troops are using as cover.
01<@DeathStar> <Virulent> Let my sister go and I'll release your sister after she has escaped. <Cheryl> You're lying.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos rubs the side of his head with his pistol and frowns. 1Well this isn't getting us anywhere.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As Marcus advances, the shuttle gunner aims at him exclusively, firing down
<Eluere> 6Dawn grabs Warren and pulls him into a dance-- away from bullet patterns
01<@DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts as he's pulled into a dance manuever away, and fires at some soldiers on the ground during it
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a noise and breaks away from the advance, trying to get to cover before he's ripped to piece. Cover being a car or a van that he can hide behind.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The shuttle gunner fires into the car Marcus hides behind
<Seraphna> * Jonas frowns, "What are you going to do if you hurt Zephyr? You'll leave yourself an open target to several angry people, and Cheryl has Ceasura. Let the girl go and back down. This doesn't have to end in a bout of stupid."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> A little help here! 6He growls out to Warren and Dawn.
<Eluere> 6Dawn lets go of Warren and reaches back, pulling his hair back, tying it with a ribbon, then starts rapidly unsheathing knives from his suit, twisting and leading his hand upward, sending around six or seven upward toward the shuttle as if they were unmanned planes themselves.
<Eluere> <Dawn> On it.
01<@DeathStar> <Virulent> You have heard my terms. 6* She hisses warningly. Caesura closes her eyes and opens her mouth, saying stop; the vibration takes out Virulent, Zephyr, Meg, Erevis, and Xan. Cheryl stares, wincing herself despite being behind Caesura
<Eluere> 6Megumi twitches, lifting her ears to see if she was lying like Cheryl said
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a nosie and goes down like a sack of beets.
<Eluere> 6Megumi howls, falling over and spasming like she's having a seizure
<Seraphna> * Jonas winces a little, he shakes his head and looks at Caesura. "...Keep that closed, alright? I'm going to check on them and bind your sister. I won't hurt her."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Erevis collapses in pain. A moment passes and the pain stops, since it was one word.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Virulent shifts, recovering quickly for a weapon
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos lets out a groan, glancing up to see if Virulent has Zephyr, he aims his pistol, the stun whirring wanting to be discharged.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The gunner pilot eyes the knives and the shuttle shifts to try to get them to hit the under side, but the firing stops
01<@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is on the ground and not in her arms
<Seraphna> * Jonas moves forward and points his shotgun at her head. "Don't move."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts away from the car before it explodes from all the fire and dashes towards the ground troops.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "It's on stun, but it'll hurt like a bitch if you do."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slips up to one knee. 1You okay Erevis? Check on Megumi.
<Eluere> 6Dawn, chuckles, directing them with his hands along the far side of the shuttle and over the roof so that they remain out of sight, then back down and swipes his hand, adjusting their velocity to that of a thrown knife, spraying them along the inside. Not bullets or anything, but thrown knives can do damage, too!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts Caesura and does a judo chop to drop her, then prepares to leap at Virulent if she dares move. Virulent eyes him, kneeling there, then shifts quickly, backflipping toward Xanatos
01<@DeathStar> 6*Erevis nods and crawls over to stroke Meg's ears
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos raises his pistol to fire the stun shot as she comes in.
<Seraphna> * Jonas pulls Zephyr away from her as she moves, "Xan!"
01<@DeathStar> 6* the shuttle spins around a moment later and drops onto the VI troops, blowing up
01<@DeathStar> 6* VIrulent is hit by the stun shot but doesn't slow, her hand reaching out for his face, her nails gleaming.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos' eyes widen and shifts to lean back, trying to get out of the way, but since he wasn't prepared for her to keep coming he might not have enough time.
<Seraphna> * Jonas grumbles and lowers the aim of his shotgun, aiming for the back of Virulent's legs and fires a blast of stun energy.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leaps forward quickly, her whip activating and whipping out. It snags her foot and Cheryl yanks to pull her back, but it won't be enough unless Xan pulls away, too. Since he does, it works
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Fuck me.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The shot then strikes Virulent's head as Cheryl pulls her back, and she twists, slamming her body against the wall, then twists again, slamming it against the other wall
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus skids to a stop and makes a noise. 1I wanted to use this. 6he glances to the ripple blade and makes a face, deactivating it.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Warren peers over at the smoking ruins of the VI troops and the shuttle
<Seraphna> Jonas> "That's enough Cheryl, I think she's down."
01<@DeathStar> 6* As Marcus deactivates it, a blast of light strikes him and knocks him down, causing his left arm to go numb
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists and slams her into the ground, then deactivates the whip. Virulent groans
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a growl of annoyance, pressing on the ground with his good hand.
01<@DeathStar> 6* A winged beauty lands before him, with green hair. She has wings like an angel. Warren immediately fires, and the woman stgands there as they strike some barrier
<Seraphna> * Jonas walks over and hits her with another stun shot.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts to his feet and gives a snarl. 1Another weapon? Or are you just some freak like me?!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Virulent goes still. Cheryl immediately turns and rushes off; Zephyr sits up and moves to Megumi, shifting energy into her to help her recover, while Erevis kisses Meg's ears like she were a baby
01<@DeathStar> 6* The silent woman aims her hands and fires a holy blast at MArcus' chest
01<@DeathStar> 6* Warren mutters angerily
<Seraphna> * Jonas works on securing Virulent. "Some of you head after Cheryl, we've got more problems out front."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts to fall back, doing a backwards roll to try and avoid it while coming back up to his feet.
<Eluere> <Dawn> Hm. Next time I'll let you use the ripple blade, then, Jones. Apparently I've triggered the boss.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves to check on Zephyr.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim dashes in at Marcus as he comes back to his feet and vanishes, appearing behind him and kicking him in the kidney
01<@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr seems okay, and looks more worried for Megumi. She looks at Jonas, then at Meg, frowning at what is a higher priority, then rises and hurries after Cheryl
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out another snarl of annoyance as he staggers forward. 1Fucking teleports.
<Eluere> <Dawn> You two... should probably step back. I'm guessing she's a weapon and that's above human-level right?" 6He rubs his neck, bringing his hand up and drawing in the seven knives from earlier back to him and starts setting them away.
<Eluere> <Dawn> I'll dance with her.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As the knives come back, seven blasts of holy energy hit them and turn them to dust
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim peers at Dawn slowly, smiling coldlyt
<Eluere> <Dawn> Ah. Ahah. I liked those.
01<@DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6* He grunts and steps away from Dawn
<Eluere> 6Dawn shifts, taking up a tai chi stance. 1"Bitch."
<Seraphna> * Jonas ties the girl up and looks at Caesura. He then moves to take Virulent to the brig. "Xan, can you secure the young'un?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos checks on Erevis now and then nods to Jonas, moving to lift up the girl, moving after Jonas.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Erevis lifts Megumi up and takes her to the medical room; outside, Cheryl and Zephyr bust out, Zephyr firing at Seraphim and striking a barrier
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus kneels and lifts the ripple blade up into his good hand. 1Watch out, she can teleport and some of that other weapony shit. Probably uses ripples.
<Seraphna> * Jonas looks for a non-melted cell to toss Virulent into.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I don't know what to do with this one. Not like I work here. 6he tells Jonas once he finishes.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Virulent is tossed into a non-melty gear cell
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes at the Seraphim weapon, and gets in close, swinging her whip and striking her. Seraphim grabs her whip and twirls, throwing Cheryl into a car, despite Cheryl's ability to target one opponent at a time flawlessly
<Eluere> <Dawn> Alight." 6He reaches into some of the pockets he has, smiling back to Seraphim, then rushes forward, not revealing quite yet.
<Seraphna> * Jonas secures the door and frowns, "She's mostly cooperative so we just need to keep her close, put her in the cell next door for now.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> So close together? That's not smart.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus finishes healing Megumi's ears. Outside, Zephyr forms her dragoon bustah and takes aim, waiting for Dawn to be repelled or get away
<Seraphna> Jonas> "True, take her to another part of the base, I'll keep an eye on this one." *he comms for guards to come to the brig, reporting Virulent secured*
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves to another part of the base, whistling as he moves.
<Eluere> 6Dawn waits until he's about the edge of Seraphim's barrier distance he's witnessed and tosses several small charges from both hands on either side of her, manipulating them with telekinetics to take up a semi-spherical outline.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus activates the ripple blade and holds it out to the side, tensing to dash. But waiting for Dawn/Zephyr to do their things.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As he tosses it, Seraphim vanishes and appears behind Dawn; only to get Dragoon Bustahed. She's thrown back, though it never really hits her, but the barrier.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus dashes forward now, slashing out for her back with the ripple blade once he gets close.
<Eluere> 6Dawn leaps, backflipping and twisting to throw a kick and continue Seraphim's stagger back toward the semisphere of charges
01<@DeathStar> 6* As Marcus slashes her back, Seraphim grabs him and twists him toward the charges, then firesa holy beam at them
<Eluere> 6Dawn makes a face and lands painfully on one knee and foot instead of rolling, holding out his hands to spread the charges out and avoid the beam.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sneers and begins to transform into a wolf, holding the ripple blade in front of the beam to take the brunt of the damage before he fully transforms and can then take the rest.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim frowns, mad, then jerks as Cheryl landsw on her back, and gets her in a whip strangle hold; apparantly her barrier only stops projectiles
<Eluere> 6Dawn gets up, limping for a moment, then stands fully, getting closer but not moving in on the two.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slides along the ground, dropping the ripple blade and going down to all fours to dash towards the two, letting out a roar.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim twists about with Cheryl, blinking in and out of sight, but so does Cheryl; as one watches, they would see Seraphim just moves very fast, not teleporting, or slows time down somehow. As Marcus comes in, Cheryl tightens her whip so Seraphim can't get free, trying to control her fast movements
<Seraphna> * Jonas watches Virulent for now, not sure if he's guarding her from escape or guarding the cells from VI, but he's guarding all the same.
<Eluere> 6Dawn frowns slightly, then holds out both hands concentrating, closing his eyes.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus leaps forward, to bring them both down, careful in his attack to try and claw Seraphim's gut.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pants, trying to figure out what to do, whern Erevis steps outside, having seen to Meg's healing, and telekenetically slows Seraphim down. As Marcus slashes at her gut, her armor is cut open
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus jerks forward and tries to snap onto her shoulder, biting into it and hopefully through the armor if he has a chance.
<Eluere> 6Dawn brings force down across Erevis' trying to pin them in place.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim freezes, her eyes widening in a panic, and she begins to get strangled by Cheryl, crying out as Marcus bites through her armor
<Eluere> <Dawn> Stop. Erevis and I have her.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus leans back after biting and pressed down on her chest with his paw, leaning close to her head, growling, probably dripping a bit of drool.
<Xanatos> NRP: presses*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Seraphim eyes him warily, not moving, and Cheryl loosens the energy whip; Seraphim's throat has burn marks from it
01<@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hurries over to them all, keeping his guns trained
<Eluere> 6Dawn keeps his hands out. 1"Cuffs? Anyone?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Should kill her, like the other bitch did Dias. 6He says, in a odd garbled sound, as if it's hard for him to speak in this form.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts; Warren rises and moves over, having been waching clamly, and begins to cuff her. He eyes Marcus
<Eluere> <Dawn> ..." 6He eyes Marcus glumly.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts off of her once she's cuffed and reverts back to his normal form, spitting blood off to the side.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I got something on my face? 6He says at all the stares.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lifts Seraphim up, who's gone quiet, looking down like a defeated warrior expecting her life to be ended. She jerks her toward the base. Erevis nods and points. "Blood and flesh."
<Eluere> <Dawn> All I see is the blood on his lips.
<Eluere> 6Dawn rubs his head and follows Cheryl
<Seraphna> * Jonas waits in the brig while the base's Weapon population flourishes.
<Eluere> 6Megumi sits in the entryway to the base, yowling at Erevis quietly.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves them inside and steps inside the high security brig area and throws Seraphim into one with force fields, cameras, a dampening field of powers, and closes the door. Warren shifts to make sure Virulent is securedin her's.
<Seraphna> * Jonas nods to Warren.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus rubs his face and moves on inside. 1Saw the look on her face when I took a bite. It worked. 6He says as if that was his plan.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns and hurries over, lifting up Megumi and kissing her happily, and nuzzles her cheek. "You are okay." 6* She shifts Megumi to find Xan so he can kiss her, too. Zephyr giggles
<Eluere> <Megumi> Meroowl. Ears hurt. Sensitive!
01<@DeathStar> <Erevis> I am sorry, sweetie. 6* She kisses them to make them better.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Caesura actually helped us break up the hsotage situation Virulent caused, boss. Xanatos is with her somewhere."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Warren stands, eyeing the two Weapons locked up. He eyes Jonas, then back. "If we release her, the enemy will just take her."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos is leaned against the wall in Caesura's room, having decided to wait till the girl woke.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Oh, not suggestin that, rather just to be gentle with her."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caesura groans in her sleep, as if having a nightmare; each groan sends sharp waves in the air
01<@DeathStar> <Warren> We'll keep her confined to her room. 6* He turns and moves out, to check on the damage. Cheryl eyes the two weapons, then turns and walks off herself. Zephyr leans up to kiss Megumi's right ear. <you okay?>
01<@DeathStar> 6* Outside, a VI agent crawls from the wreckage, grabs a rocket launcher, ande sneaks in through the front door, following Dawn; he takes aim
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face and moves over to kneel by the girl and shh her, making a calming sound of humming a pleasant tune.
<Seraphna> * Jonas waits for some guards before moving out himself, rubbing the back of his head.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus has made it to the cafeteria to wash his mouth out with a bottle of water.
<Eluere> <Megumi> <Yes... now. Feel bette>>
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caesura opens her eyes fnally and peers at Xanatos, jerking, then relaxes, sitting up. She gives a questioning look
01<@DeathStar> 6* The VI agent fires his rocket at Dawn'as back
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Sorry, you were having a nightmare I think. 6He rubs his neck slightly and motions. 1You de-escalated the situation. Your sister is safe, but in custody still.
<Eluere> 6Dawn turns, holding out his hand and trying to hold it steady, making a face. 1"Honestly? Inside? Were you even thinking about when it went off and took you with me?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along, shifting as she hears a sound and turns to eye Dawn with a rocket coming at him; she jerks and twists her whip out to tangle Dawn's legs to trip him, so the rocket flies over him, not wanting to take bets he can hold it or the VI agent will shoot it; it instead strikes the wall near her, exploding and sending up dust and heat.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The VI agent, dumbfounded at it stopping, just stares as it hits the wall; the whi paround Dawn's leg vanishes and the VI agent quickly shifts to get the second rocket ready
<Eluere> 6Dawn lets out a grunt as he hits the ground, then starts to get up, reaching out to grip the agent by his throat from afar, gurgling angrily.
<Seraphna> * Jonas grunts as he starts hearing more explosions, heading towards the front.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caesura relaxes, then pauses as a boom is heard
01<@DeathStar> 6* The VI agent jerks about and aims his rocket at Dawn shakily
<Eluere> 6Dawn stands up straight then eyes the agent devoidly, focusing on the bones composing his fingers-- focusing on seperating them out of their joints
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances up and hmms. 1Must be a few attackers left, I'm sure it'll be fine. I'll protect you. 6He gives a wink and smile.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As Dawn tries, the agent fires the rocket for his face
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caesura blinks, but then smiles back, looking more relaxed
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves for the source of the explosions in quite a hurry.
01<@DeathStar> 6* The rocket crashes into Dawn's face and explodes, engulfing him in an explosion; the explosion also hits the VI agent and knocks him back, crying out in agony as the flames burn him.
<Seraphna> * Jonas arrives in time to stare in shock, moving over to check on Cheryl.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As Marcus and Jonas arrive, Dawn slides up, his face burnt and his hair burnt away, his flesh cracked and bone showing now, his outfit ruined.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...I think that's bad.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is on the ground, recovering from the first rocket, and groans a bit. She coughs up some blood, eyeing Dawn in alarm and immediately hitting the comm for Caduceus
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances to make sure the enemy is dead, moving over to shoot him and put him out of his misery if he's still burning alive.
<Seraphna> * Jonas nods, hand on his own comm, he frowns and moves back to check Dawn for any sign of even breathing.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As cheryl's medical beeps throughout, Erevis looks up, then at MEgumi. "Are you still capable of healing manifestation?"
01<@DeathStar> 6* Dawn's chest is rising very, very slowly, though he has 99% degree burns all over his face and body. It's impossible to even tell if he's male or female
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Is he even alive?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus arrives, carrying his medical bag and he looks around, practically standing on Dawn. "Where's the medical emergency?"
<Seraphna> * Jonas remains wondering on that subject. "Yeah... barely."
<Seraphna> Jonas> "At your feat, miracle man."
<Eluere> <Megumi> Mrow... healing manifestering?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus pauses, then glances down, amking a face at the smell. He shifts to kneel and touches the burnt husk and begins to focus. Cheryl sits up, tense. "Do whatever it takes to fucking heal him.
01<@DeathStar> <Erevis> In the past, I saw you manage to heal wounds in battle. I know it takes strain on you, but if Zephyr were to aid your energy output, you could perhaps aid the doctor if it is a serious injury.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Megumi, worried about any risk to her pilot
<Eluere> <Megumi> Wounds!... oh! Heal! Yes!
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to the comm and then glances to Caesura. 1He'll be fine. The doctor is REALLY a miracle worker.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods and lifts Megumi up, and walks with her and Zephyr. "That is a good kitten." 6* Warren arrives at the combat site and looks down at Dawn, frowning. "Will be okay?" 6* Caduceus doesn't respond, and his skin begins to look taunt.
01<@DeathStar> <Caesura> ... 6* She nods once and smiles again, shifting to sit next to Xanatos timidly
<Seraphna> * Jonas raises an eyebrow. "You're... giving him some of your own energy some something?"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus kneels slightly to watch Caduceus, a curious look on his face.
<Seraphna> Jonas> *peers down, watching Dawn heal*
<Eluere> <Megumi> <Not want Megumi to heal people?>
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus doesn't respond as Dawn's flesh slowly begins to restore, layer by layer, muscle by muscle, Caduceus' flesh begins to look skeletaal
01<@DeathStar> 6* Erevis arrives with Megumi and Zephyr. <Zephyr> <Just don't want you to over do it. You make sure to dpeend on my energy for it>
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Stop, Doc. Don't kill yourself to bring him back.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "...Just... get him out of critical doc, we'll let regular medicine do the rest."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus finally lets go, looking like he's near death himself; Dawn's muscular and internal organs have been healed, but his flesh is still pretty burnt in areas of his body. He seems like he might have a penis though
01<@DeathStar> <Erevis> Kitten will help heal him a bit more.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shifts to help Cad up and moves to get him back to medical.
<Eluere> <Megumi> Meow!" 6She drops to her feet and peers over, sniffing, then makes her own face, peering at Caduceus.
<Eluere> <Megumi> Look really bad!!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus groans
<Eluere> 6Megumi reaches out and grabs Caduceus, closing her eyes.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl winces in pain a s she watches
01<@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Uh, I think that's the wrong patient, MEgumi
<Eluere> <Megumi> Mya? B-But..
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus points to the BBQ he/she and then moves Cad on to the medbay.
01<@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I will be fine with time; focuso n the sexually confused crispy man
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You got any happy juice to help you heal faster?
<Eluere> <Megumi> ..." 6She follows fingers blinking, then kneels, tilting her head and makes a face, touching Dawn, reading into the DNA
01<@DeathStar> <Caduceus> Yes. whiskey.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr kneels and shifts energy into Megumi, while Erevis strokes Megumi's ears.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> My favorite healing juice. 6He notes with a nod.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Should I... move him or something? It looks like it'll be painful."
01<@DeathStar> <Erevis> Allow Kitten to do her miracle job. Afterwards, she will needs lots of milk and cuddles and fish
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caesura shifts next to Xanatos; the room is small and must get boring
<Eluere> 6Megumi starts to rapidly use the energy Zephyr channels her, fixing the body according to its structure and genetic direction; She lulls, as if about to fall over.
<Seraphna> JOnas> "Right." *he moves over and checks on Cheryl* "You in one piece still?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to her and rubs his neck. 1Uh. What do you do for fun?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Dawn's flesh begins to heal back and after a bit, he's mostly restored, though outside his face, oddly, there's scars now along his body. Erevis pulls Megumi off after she thinks enough has passed that the medical bay can do the rest
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just nods, relaxing when she sees Dawn will live. "Just get him into the medical bay and hooked up to an IV."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus helps Cad to a seat and looks around for his whiskey.
<Eluere> <Megumi> Merow. Where marks come from?
01<@DeathStar> <Erevis> Ido not know; perhaps when you feel better, you can heal the rest of him
01<@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pants
01<@DeathStar> 6* Marcus would see the medicine cabinent has 30 whiskey bottles
<Eluere> <Megumi> Heal not leave marks! Weir--" 6She swoons, then falls over backwards suddenly.
<Seraphna> * Jonas picks up Dawn and dramatically carries him to the medical bay like a true hero.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Erevis catches Megumi and rocks her. she comms Xanatos to get milk and fish ready for Megumi - and a nice bath
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and glances to his comm and then looks to Caesura. 1You want to come with me?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caesura nods eagerly
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Don't try to run off or anything, or I'll get in trouble and they might come after you. 6He gets to his feet and holds out his hand.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caesura nods and takes it
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus eyes Dawn brought in, grunting at his good state
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus hands Cad the Whiskey. 1It's alright, we know who the true hero of the day is. 6He says with a nod.
<Seraphna> * Jonas sets him down and looks over. "Ending the day with a drink? I like the Doc's style."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caduceus begins to drink heavily. Cheryl moves off., leaving Erevis to get Megumi and Zeph into the mess hall
<Eluere> 6Dawn groans, murmuring about "Fiore."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves with Caesura towards the mess hall, sending Warrena message that he's keeping Caesura with him so she'll feel more at ease isntead of being locked up.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Warren responds with a message of ... and then shifts to eye Dawn murmuring about Fiore, then heads for his base, as if remembering his end of the deal with Dawn.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps into the mess hall with Sura and moves to get the milk for Megumi.
<Seraphna> * Jonas peers at Dawn and frowns a bit. "We'll find her. You just rest up."
<Eluere> 6Dawn sits up suddenly, reaching out and shattering some of the above lights, hissing through his teeth, then pauses. 1"... Whrr.. what?"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus gives Cad a nod and then moves to step out too, moving to check and see if his bike got exploded.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Erevis smiles at Xanatos
<Seraphna> * Jonas slowly looks at the freaky vision of burned Dawn sitting up like a zombie.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Marcus would find his bike in one piece; Cheryl stands outside, her coat ruined, and eyeing the wreckage and teams putting out fires
<Seraphna> Jonas> "You... alright? You were nearly killed, you should lay down."
<Eluere> <Dawn> ... How the hell am I alive?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos sets out the milk for Megumi and gives Erevis a smile. 1I made a friend.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caesura bows at Erevis. Erevis smiles at Xanatos. "I am glad."
<Eluere> 6Dawn stares at his hand in amazement. 1"Uh, sorry about the lights."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Erevis sets the milk in a bowl for Megumi and then gets some fish and puts it on a plate for her
<Eluere> 6Megumi dozes on Erevis' shoulder.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Caduceus saved your life, then Megumi put you back together more."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps over to Cheryl and peers at her. 1Y'alright?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances to Caesura. 1You hungry?
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caesura nods quickly
01<@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Just wondering what the fuck we're going to do with all these weapons. If they decided to fight back, we'd be in big trouble. Yet other prisons can't hold them easily
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos hmms and peers at her for a second, then moves to get her something to eat, deciding she'd like PB&J.
<Eluere> <Dawn> ... Didn't I eat a rocket?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I remember a time when having enemies meant you killed or be killed. Now we're letting them all live. It's going to be a mistake in the end, it's going to get us killed.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caesura sits at the table with the others, watching Erevis pet Megumi's ear fondly and ruffle Zeph's hair
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Yes."
01<@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Caesura may be harmless, but the other two aren't. They're far from harmless.
01<@DeathStar> <Cheryl> But I guess we've done it in the past...remember Billy? We never did find out what happened to her after the Dark Ones took her over. 6* He says, referring to the fact that due to the other team, they didn't encounter Billy on Centerpoint, even though the Prime Alt. Future Billy saved her, she has yet to show up
<Xanatos> <Marcus> She'll be back one day, to take her revenge on us.
01<@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe. She used to be your friend; do you think you could stop her if she did? She saved you and Dias countless times.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Probably not...she was pretty special.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> And we let her get taken, so in a sense I deserve whatever she brings back at me.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl studies him, then looks ahead. "Then I guess I'll help you take her down without hurting her too bad. MAybe even save her. Be something... Dias would have tried, I know...."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos places the two peanut butter and jelly sandwiches down in front of Caesura, then places one down for erevis and one for zephyr, then moves and gets milk for them all.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Caesura blinks and picks it up, then eats it slowly.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Spouting some nonsense shit about being a hero. 6He says with a slight laugh and a smirk. 1Funny how it usually worked too.
01<@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I and that famfrit healed you
<Seraphna> * Jonas reaches out, and gently due to the burns, urges Dawn to lay down. "Sleep."
01<@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.... he was completely stupid, but it seemed to always go as he willed it... 6* She smiles softly
<Eluere> <Dawn> Sorry. I... just don't see how I'd survive that." 6He peers at Caduceus skeptically
01<@DeathStar> <Caduceus> We'll hook you up to bacta IVs and heal up the last of the burns
01<@DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes her own and shows Caesura how to properly eat it.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus reaches up to put a hand on her shoulder. 1Tell you what. I'll let you be my sidekick. 6He winks.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts. "I'm not going to help you get twins in your bed."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Not even one twin?
01<@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hah. We'll see. 6* She seems to consider something about the twins a moment, but then shakes her head. "I'm going to make some sweeps to make sure there's no more VI agents out there." 6* She glances at him and smirks once, then heads off, looking more relaxed and less dark
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gets himself a beer, and leans agains tthe counter to watch them all, seemingly amused at Erevis teaching another.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Call me if you need help. 6He says with a nod.
<Eluere> <Dawn> Heh. Guess you have your own secrets...
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Magic. Now rest."
<Eluere> 6Dawn eyes Jonas. 1"You're being oddly sympathetic. Feeling well? Perhaps you have a fever?" 6He chuckles.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Caesura, watching her eat after being taught, then looks at Xanatos. "If they do not want to keep her on base, Darien Starr's mansion would be secure enough for her. You should speak to Warren Carmichael about it - if you think it a good idea."
01<@DeathStar> <Caduceus> I think he saw your boobs when you were out cold
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods. 1They might come for her, so we would need to be prepared for a fight.
<Seraphna> Jonas> "Yeah, that's it, I'm bloody lovestruck." *he smirks*
01<@DeathStar> <Erevis> Of course; are we not always prepared? 6* She glances at Zeph nibbling on her sandwich, indicating they might come for Zephyr one day like they did Aya.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I can't argue with that logic. 1He notes with a nod and a smile. 1I'll go talk to Warren about it. 6He turns and moves for Warren's office. Meanwhile Marcus washes his bike.
01<@DeathStar> -END FOR NOW-
 Session Close: Thu Aug 12 21:22:09 2010

03* Now talking in #AltStuff
Session Time: Fri Sep 03 00:00:00 2010
01<@DeathStar> 6* Aya watches the lions
<Seraphna> Angela> "Lions always seem interesting to me... somehow a lazy male gets all those females to hunt and work for him."
01<@DeathStar> <Aya> Hmph. The female lions should toss him out
<Seraphna> Angela> "Mmm, though if they do, they will have no one to give them babies."
01<@DeathStar> <Aya> Hm...well, maybe they should make the lion work for babies?
<Seraphna> * Angela smiles and kisses Aya. "You have it right, darling."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Aya giggles
<Seraphna> * Aya smiles. "Of course, I won't have to worry about you and boys till you're at least 30, right?"
01<@DeathStar> <Aya> I'm not interested in boys! They're silly
<Seraphna> * Angela giggles and picks Aya up. "Good girl."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Aya smiles at her. "Maybe if boys ever quit being silly. Do they?"
<Seraphna> Angela> "Nope, not really."
<Seraphna> * Angela seems to have one or two in mind as she says that. "Though sometimes... you get good ones."
01<@DeathStar> <Aya> I hope we both find some good ones!
01<@DeathStar> 6* Aya watches the lion cubs sleep, awwwing. She names one Soma
<Seraphna> * Angela smiles. She whispers a command to have the Soma cub saved.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Aya giggles, watching the Soma cub, who wiggles in his sleep; it would be impossible to tell the difference from reality. Alexander apparantly made his people put the man hours into the program
01<@DeathStar> 6* That evening at dinner, Alexander eats a steak. "Have you thought anymore on the questions I asked you?"
<Seraphna> * ANgela nods a little. "After talking to Cheryl... I'm a bit flabberghasted actually. She insisted I turn myself in to clear my name. She really totally believes in me."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes. Like I said, I just altered her mind a little to help her. She acts on her rage and instincts and suspicions because of what Cran made her into. I found some of the old files of her when she was a child. He literally took her out of the growing process at 5 years of age and had her fight
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> She lost her innocence quickly
<Seraphna> * Angela sighs and nods. "She won't take it well when she learns about me and Aya... moreso now that Aya is calling me mother." *she sits back* "Chad's on the verge of death, he's locked himself in his room and he's starving himself to death." *she sounds disgusted*
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Maybe it would be better to bring Cheryl in and make her see things from our point of view. It may sound cruel to remove her attachment to Chad, but look at the man and how he's reacted to his daughter vanishing. I wouldn't be surprised if Id emerged simply because the man didn't care enough to pay attention
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> And Id's already proven enjoyment for hurting those Chad loves - which would be Zeph and Cheryl
01<@DeathStar> 6* He says Zeph, clearly referencing what Id did toh er last time
<Seraphna> * Angela flinches a little. "Maybe you're right..." *she frowns* "...Who's the pilot?"
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> I was curious if she would mention it; that's a good sign. Jonas. He works at the base with the team. He truly loves Cheryl, I believe, or I wouldn't have allowed her to be used in such a manner. He was an Alpha pilot in the old days - he was with his dragoon sexually and tried to remain with her after Cran banished them
<Seraphna> Angela> "So you recruited him."
<Seraphna> * Angela seems calm as she makes the statement, knowing it to be true.
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Yes. He doesn't know most of what goes on here, but he's there to keep the unit away from us, and focused on the real threats - VI and the Dark Ones. The Dark Ones are far from over; sources tell me they're rooting themselves into the Tsivrixsh Empire. They don't have time to be chasing after us, so Jonas is there to keep them focused
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> ... hearing about the three Weapons is disturbing. I am truly sorry I didn't know about them sooner or I would have had the information decrypted fasted for Cheryl.
<Seraphna> Angela> "Oh I believe you. I do think it rather silly you underestimated VI though. They did, after all, not only make weapons, but Dragoons too."
<Seraphna> * Angela rubs her head a little. "Granted... faulty Dragoons."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> It's not so much underestimating them but overestimating Warren's unit. I never thought he would let one get close enough to poison Dias. That's what happened - Dias kept going out as bait and got caught
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Virulent played for keeps
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Also, my reports say VI is desperately searching for Aya. And they want to get their hands on Chad and Zephyr for some reason.
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> PErhaps even Cheryl
<Seraphna> * Angela pauses, she twitches a little. "...I think I know why."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Why?
<Seraphna> Angela> "The Weapons are all prototypes. They're not meant to be final versions, much like the Alphas were all geared to create an Omega, in Cran's viewpoint. They're trying to create the final version."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Hm, very likely. Aya would be invaluable for them. It's one reason I encouraged you to bring her in for safety. Not only from Chad, but from VI. Imagine if VI got their hands on Chad, and Id showed up - Aya would have gone with him and no one would have questioned it
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> And he'd probably rape Zephyr on the way out
01<@DeathStar> 6* His tone is disgusted
<Seraphna> Angela> "Chad is subject zero, and he carries the personality meant to inheret the final project. So needing him both as a baseline subject and to retain Id is likely vital... Darien's mansion will be hit soon."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Have you thought anymore on bringing Zephyr in? And your feelings of love for your siblings compared to Spade?
<Seraphna> Angela> "I love--- loved, William as a mate, as a man who I was going to marry, and he died defending reality itself in the Wind incident... I'll never forget him, but on the same token, I can't bring myself to risk Zephyr's life under any cost."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Even if Zeph dying brought William Spade back?
01<@DeathStar> *Zephyr
<Seraphna> Angela> "...I think even William would understand why I wouldn't pay that price."
<Seraphna> * Angela sighs, "I wouldn't trade one life for another reguardless... I've been on the butt end of that before."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Alexander nods approvingly. "Good, I think you're beginning to understand yourself better. In time, I believe you will love again like you did with William Spade - I'm not saying that one is Zephyr, even if it would make bonding with her easier, but that you wouldn't bring back the man of your dreams for your sister says much about your character."
<Seraphna> Angela> "I made some pretty big mistakes in my life... I just try not to repeat them." *she muses* "Often I wonder what would have happened had I ignored Dad's orders and gone after Warren instead of hunting Dragoons..."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> You shouldn't look on the past and wonder and regret; you should look to the future and plan how to make it better for you and others.
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Looking back will just waste time and energy and focus from the now
<Seraphna> Angela> "I like to think more that I look back at the past to see my mistakes and analyze what I did wrong, so I can improve on it."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Perhaps, but it can also twist people with regret and make them take more abuse than they should have coming; Marcus, for example, looks to the past and you let him due to your looking back at what you had, so you let him wound you now when you shouldn't.
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> You deserve happiness and children. With a man, woman, or anyone.
<Seraphna> * Angela gets a dark look at the mention of Marcus.
01<@DeathStar> 6* Alexander eats his steak, noticing the look but not commenting - he made his point after all
<Seraphna> * Angela frowns. "I... you're right..." *she sighs* "I let myself so deep into shame people found justification in getting angry at me because I didn't accept being raped by the man who murdered my children." *she shakes her head* "What the hell is wrong with people..."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Who all defended you during that? You should focus on that. I don't mean Zephyr, since I know she's been recovering her memories, but those who have known you - who stood up for you?
<Seraphna> Angela> "...Cheryl didn't hold it against me... and... Freyja... believed in me."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> You should remember that.
<Seraphna> * Angela looks down. "I don't think Darien did either... but he didn't speak up much at that..." *it sounds like that hurt her more then even Marcus' jibes*
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> ... perhaps you should speak to him sometime
<Seraphna> * Angela nods a little. "It's hard to look at him sometimes... DeathStar was a good pilot and a close friend... I still have many of his memories. And now I have this... this guy who was so distant." *there's more there*
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> And?
<Seraphna> Angela> "I... I loved DS. More then I should have." *she frowns* "In turn I think... I wanted Darien too... but he was with Ariel." *the name is about as bile inducing as Marcus to her*
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> I understand; would you like me to bring him in? See if we can tell what his thoughts are?
<Seraphna> Angela> "Is that... safe?"
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> We could take him to another location; it may raise alarms. I leave it to you to think on if you want it done
<Seraphna> Angela> "Taking him here wouldn't raise alarms?"
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Taking him in general may raise alarms and make Warren wonder why Darien. Taking him to another location like we did Cheryl would ensure no tie back to us directly
<Seraphna> Angela> "It'll have to be another location... but I need time to think about it. Ideally it'd be better if we could take him and get him back with no one the wiser, but I don't count on luck, it's all that unit thrives on."

01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Indeed.
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Did you enjoy your visit with Cheryl all things aside?
<Seraphna> * Angela nods softly and smiles. "It was good to see her. I've been getting a detached feeling since coming here."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> I'm glad you enjoyed it; is there anything I can do to help the detatched feeling?
<Seraphna> * Angela smiles and leans closer to him. "You already do that, bro."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Alexander gives a smile, setting down a datapad. "The information about Cheryl so you can look at it later after Aya's gone to bed. Tomorrow, you should invite her to dinner with us - we can avoid discussing 'business' for once."
<Seraphna> * Angela nods slowly. "And her pilot? I'm curious about a man who's able to get her to eat, quit drinking, and actually take care of herself."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Alexander smiles. "It's there, too; I figured you'd want to see it."
<Seraphna> * Angela smiles and leans over, kissing his cheek. "Good... good. There is something I'd like to look into."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> What is that?
<Seraphna> Angela> "The Bennets. While we're looking into family... I want to know more about my birth parents. What they were like... what happened to them, everything."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Of course; I will find the information for you
<Seraphna> * Angela nods and smiles. "Thanks... I can barely remember anything before that day on Pegasus, and Cheryl... well she was able to glimpse those."
<Seraphna> Angela> "She thinks she might be able to help me remember."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> You should let her help you; even if I find information, it would pale to first hand memories, I'd imagine
<Seraphna> * Angela nods, she frowns. "I'm kind of scared, to tell the truth... but I just... I have to know."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> I understand; I would want to know as well
<Seraphna> * Angela blushes a bit. "Is there anything I can do to help you? Besides taking care of Aya, I mean... I've finished with Dakota and I've been thinking over what to do about Montana... but more Betas could be useful..."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> If you want more work, I'm sure I can find it; though your people say you're key in Beta production
<Seraphna> * Angela smiles. "Well... no one else can test the systems just by thinking about it."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Alexander laughs softly
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Indeed
<Seraphna> Angela> "I've always liked Betas... they feel right to me. Not because I can control them or anything but it's like... well like I was meant to work on them and maintain them. Like its something special that I can do better then anyone else."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> That indeed may be true; what files I have indicate your parents were part of the original Beta creation. But I'll need to dig deeper to get the kind of information you'll want - whatk ind of people they were
<Seraphna> * Angela nods, she smiles a bit. "I think if I work it enough, I might be able to better customize the function and uses to individual Betas, make some more defense or task oriented, as it were. They could really be as adaptable as the Alphas."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> Whatever resources you need, they're yours
<Seraphna> * Angela smiles. "Hire a few more cute boys in my department then. Maybe I'll find someone to distract me."
01<@DeathStar> <Alexander> I'll keep that in mind. 6* He smirks
01<@DeathStar> -SUPER AWESOME JUMP-
01<@DeathStar> 6* Aya sleeps on Angela's bed, liking to sleep with her at nights since it keeps 'nightmares away'. The datapad of information lurks beside her
<Seraphna> * Angela lays with her, she pulls up the datapad, starting to read over the files.
01<@DeathStar> 6* It's divided up into two people; Cheryl and Jonas
<Seraphna> * Angela starts by reading over Cheryl's information.
01<@DeathStar> 6* There's actual video files and stuff; some show her doing battle at 5, another, at age 7, taking knives into the arm and being told not to flinch or she'll be stabbed again. She has a bow in her hair in these shots and it's obvious the stabs are painful
<Seraphna> * Angela frowns more and more as she reads on. "Dad... what did you do..."
01<@DeathStar> '6* As she gets older, the more harsh the training gets, and one shows her being flirted with by a solider who then tries to stab her in the throat and she breaks his arm in three places in instinct
<Seraphna> Angela> "Sis..." *she hugs the sleeping Aya*
01<@DeathStar> 6* Aya returns theh ug in her sleep. The various reports nad logs by Cran show a slight affection for Cheryl, but the war naturally came first - so he paired her with Phaeton to drive her to be a fighter that won't hold back. There's of course no details on how they got along until much later when Cran makes note that Cheryl's performances in battle make her a killing machine of Ridariums
<Seraphna> * Angela sighs, considering how she was raised, feeling deeply guilty.

01<@DeathStar> 6* Various reports from Cheryl are documented, too; interestingly when she was younger and not as battled hardened, her reports were much more light, talking about civilians rescued, people met - and as it went on, it became much more direct, simple to the point - enemy destroyed, civilians saved only in number detailed, not personal thoughts. Right before the fateful colony (cont)
01<@DeathStar> 6* battle, it was clear Phaeton had changed her pretty much entirely
<Seraphna> * Angela watches on, knowing Phaeton all too well, in two sets of memories, she grits her teeth thinking about her enemy / mentor did.
01<@DeathStar> 6* As far as Jonas goes, his details are there as well - getting it on with his dragoon, her dying in the Dragoon War with Angela
<Seraphna> * Angela puts down the datapad after a bit of reading, she breathes softly. Awash with guilt. "I had it so much better then Cheryl... and it was my blind following of orders... my choices... that killed Nara."
01<@DeathStar> 6* Aya shifts to lay on her lap a bit, as if sensing her guilt
<Seraphna> * Angela pets her hair.
