<DeathStar> 10-589.5.29
<DeathStar> Location: PAX (intro following)
<DeathStar> 6* After traveling 2 days out to the PAX, and then waiting 2 more on the ship where crazy hijinks of happened and sexual identity and whatnot, they are nearly ready to meet with Empress Erevis. Waiting in Thomas' bar, where Magical Girl Mem was sent by Cheryl is working as a waitress, is serving them drinks - probably laced with poison - they await their summonsw.
<DeathStar> 6* Daria hums, pondering about the sexy blue haired woman. Caesura is not around, watching the kids since they do not have an audience with the Empress. Darien is quiet, adjusting his suit
<AquaKoala> *Thomas sits behind the bar, James helps MGM
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb sits with Daria. To'Saath has a client and won't be there most of the day.
<Seraphna> * Sammael taps her fingers on the table. "LIsa said it would be soonish. Erevis apparently takes a lot of time and care with presenting herself for an audience."
<AquaKoala> *Kay sits with Robb and Daria
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *sits elsewhere, wearing her uniform and nursing a drink of her own*
<Seraphna> * Setsuna sits with her, drinking, not nursing.
<DeathStar> 6* Lisa is sent down to retrieve them
<kalonZombie> <Robb> Well I hope it is soonish. 6*He says, being a bit nervous since the engineering incident
<DeathStar> <Daria> I wonder what she will think when we will her the Others might be in her territory.
<kalonZombie> <Robb> Judging from what I've heard of her, she'll offer a peaceful solution first, then blow them out of the water.
<DeathStar> <Darien> They killed Xanatos
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "She'll skip the peaceful solution."
<Seraphna> Sammael> Her usual MO will break. She'll turn her full efforts on squashing them.
<kalonZombie> <Robb> Well... that's good for us then, I guess?
<Seraphna> Sammael> "Maybe, it depends on how powerful these Others really are."
<Seraphna> * Lisa comes running up, looking well groomed, fixing her robes. "Th-THe Empress is ready t-to meet with you."
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb nods at Lisa and takes one last swig of his drink, getting up, and offering his hand to Daria to help her get up
<AquaKoala> James> Hi Lisa!
<Seraphna> * Lisa blushes and waves. "H-Hello J-James."
<DeathStar> 6* Daria blinks and takes it, standing up. Somewhere Caesura is more depressed
<AquaKoala> *Kay gets up as well
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Lisa, then James
<DeathStar> <Darien> Lead us to your leader?
<Seraphna> * Sammael stands up. Lisa nods and turns to lead them to a teleporter. "C-Come with me."
<AquaKoala> Kay>...Take us, Takes us to your leader *Kay follows her
<ButtermilkEclair> 6Bubbly Mem cheerfully serves people-- in her magical girl outfit.
<Seraphna> Sammael> <She still studders all the time.> *to Darien*
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb walks alongside Daria
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Mem, afraid of her. Knowing her true self
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Let's go, Sets." *stands up, abandoning her barely touched drink*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien follows after Lisa
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *moves into step with the rest of the group*
<Seraphna> * Lisa lets them all get on the teleporter, Setsuna drunkenly cluthing to Cassanda. THen teleports them to the Royal Area.
<AquaKoala> *James doesn't seem to mind Mem, giggling a little at her outfit
<ButtermilkEclair> <Mem> HI, DAR-- I mean... man I never met! Would you like a drink!?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "...why did you drink this much?"
<Seraphna> Setsuna> "Strong stuff is hard to come by!"
<DeathStar> 6* Daruien jerks and is glad when they teleport - surely Mem will not follow them to the Royal Palace Area. Zephyr is there, playing with her wife, Megumi, near Erevis, the two dressed offically. Zephyr is teasing Megumi's ear and Megumi looks pregnant
<AquaKoala> *Kay deadpans at Setsuna
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "And the meeting with Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs Lisa's back, a sign of affection due to the she spent with them. Erevis ahead, sitting on a throne in the royal meeting area
<ButtermilkEclair> <Megumi> Merooowl.
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb gives Daria a "Think she knows?" look
<Seraphna> * Lisa blushes and leads them along to Erevis. "Goddess... I-I present to you Darien Starr and h-his team."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods to Lisa, smiling, then looks at them all. Darien bows respectfully
<Seraphna> * Lisa heads over to stand by Erevis all reverently like a good High Priestess.
<AquaKoala> *Kay follows Dariens lead
<Seraphna> * Sammael bows.
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb bows a little
<DeathStar> 6* Daria bows. Erevis patiently waits and motions them to rise with her hand. Zephyr looks all serious, rubbing Megumi's stomach with her hand
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *moves to bow, pulling drunken Setsuna down too.
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb rises when given permission
<AquaKoala> *Kay rises once Erevis waves her hand
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh stands off to the side, watching like some sort of security chief or something.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What brings you here, Darien Starr and his Starrlets?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at Sam to explain
<AquaKoala> *Kay deadpans
<Seraphna> Sammael> "We're here following a lead on people who have been classified a threat to Earth, they may also be a threat to your Empire."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Explain
<DeathStar> 6* Daria steps forward
<DeathStar> <Daria> Well, you see..
<Seraphna> Sammael> "There was recently a terrorist attack on Earth, the terrorists were the beings you once met known as the Others. Our research has found evidence that they are on a world within your realm of influence. We don't know if they're establishing a colony there or if it is their home world."
<DeathStar> <Daria> There was a rare metal compound they used to make explosives....and the compound is not native to Earth...in fact, it is pretty rare, your Empress. And it comes from only a handful of planets and a few of them are from a region of space you have recently acquired. <Erevis> Which ones. 6* Daria holds out the datapad to Leyaeh to look over
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh peers it over.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stiffens when Sammael speaks, not even listening to Daria
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The Others.... what world, Leyaeh Cridhe. We will go there immediately and destroy it
<Seraphna> Sammael> "Wait."
<Seraphna> Sammael> "If they're colonizing, they may have enslaved their people."
<Seraphna> Sammael> "We would like a chance to see if there are people who can be saved there first."
<DeathStar> 6* It is a small world with a primitive people without space travel capabilities yet. It was taken over by Erevis' Empire when they accepted a few races of the quadrant in and there was nothing really of value and Erevis did not want to disturb the people there, plus it was on the fringes of her Empire anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis does not seem to be listening, waiting for the coordinates.
<ButtermilkEclair> 6Megumi mumbles and nips Zephyr's shoulder, looking annoyed.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "It definately fits, the people there are under your protection, my Empress."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grimaces at Erevis reaction. Zephyr yelps
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ow-Ow what did I do?
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb just stands at attention, waiting
<Seraphna> * Sammael frowns a bit, she looks at Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What do you mean? They clearly were pretending if they are making bombs and are working for the Others. 6* She says, not knowing yet it's a primitive world.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "The world is primitive."
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "They're incapable of the stuff that's being claimed."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns, and psionically yanks the datapad into her hand and reads it over, frowning.
<DeathStar> <Daria> ... *she fidgets, wondering if Erevis is insane*
<AquaKoala> *Kay just stands there with a blank expression, not understanding a word they say
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see; set course for this world.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Immediately, my Empress."
<DeathStar> <Darien> May I ask what you plan to do? <Erevis> I plan to see what the Others are doing to this planet.
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb looks a bit apprehensive at Erevis' reaction, then at Daria
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh taps her comms and delivers the command.
<ButtermilkEclair> <Megumi> Mrrr. Make Megumi fat.
<Seraphna> * Sammael seems patient and calm despite the reaction. She seems to believe Erevis capable of reason.
<AquaKoala> *Kay hums a pop song, thinking about pie
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pouts. "But...how was I suppose to know that the dildo was laced with experimental pregnancy genes."
<Seraphna> * Lisa rocks a little, watching quietly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We will light jump there. You may all come to the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises to her feet and walks along to a teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods and follows. Daria brightens - the bridge!
<Seraphna> * Sammael walks along, as does Lisa and Leyaeh. Setsuna walks with Cassandra.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *keeps Setsuna steady as they move*
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb perks at the bridge, moving with Daria with a small smile on his face
<AquaKoala> *Kay moves after them, wondering if dogs can look up
<ButtermilkEclair> <Megumi> Because Zephy bought it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr carries Megumi, straining, to the bridge, telling her she glows
<DeathStar> 6* Poor 16 yearo ld Zeph
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes Kay, annoyed with him as they teleport to the bridge
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This one will stand far away from me
<DeathStar> <Darien> Kay, stand far away from us
<DeathStar> 6* The bridge is much like Prime's - a large area with a big chair in the middle, view screen, stairs leading down to the palace area, seats for the bridge controls and whatnot.
<AquaKoala> *Kay nods, standing far away from them
<Seraphna> Sammael> "Apologies for him, his mind has proven... useful in overcoming odds only capable in being overcome by... certain minded people."
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb looks around excitedly, smiling
<ButtermilkEclair> <Megumi> Mrrrr.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits in the middle chair and Zeph puts Megumi in her weapons control chair, sitting in navigation
<AquaKoala> *Kay wonders why birds can fly
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis then light jumps them to the planet - which looks nothing like the holographic images that are up of it. It's brown and smokey and clouds cover it as they approach. Zeph tries to scan. "Scans cannot get past the cloud coverage - we'll have to get closer."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... get ihm off the bridge.
<Seraphna> * Lisa takes a seat.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Kay, go back to your room
<AquaKoala> *Kay blinks and nods, going back to his room
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Did we have this problem before?"
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb is suddenly glad he's a minor genius
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh checks the logs.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at the planet, frowning
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> How could this have happened?
<DeathStar> <Daria> Question - your scanners are pretty advanced and you cannot scan unless you get closer.... Is that normal?
<DeathStar> 6* She asks as the PAX flies in
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms
<DeathStar> <Darien> Fair point.
<kalonZombie> <Robb> So either those clouds are doing something, there's a jammer... or a million other potentials, but those are the two most likely I can think of.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "I think it's fair to assume the planet is compromised."
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Looks liek the Others are actively hiding to me."
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh taps a button, the world's teleporter locked.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Don't need them sending bombs to us."
<kalonZombie> <Robb> If they haven't sent them already.
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh checks with security and starts pulling logs on who is and isn't on board. "That'll be taken care of... the Imperial way."
<DeathStar> 6* AS they get closer, the sensors begin to go wild and suddenly the planet explodes, and massive explosions hit the PAX, and the viewport goes offline and the hip tilts, alarms going wild as the lights flicker and go off
<ButtermilkEclair> <Megumi> Ambush.
<kalonZombie> <Robb> They planned this...
<kalonZombie> 6*He tries to keep his balance as best he can
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh growls as Lisa cries out in shock.
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh starts ordering damage reports and engineers to get things back online.
<Seraphna> Sammael> "...All those people... they just..."
<DeathStar> 6* Leyaeh would find her comms are static
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "We need to get down to engineering, I think we're still in danger."
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "The Others don't care! These guys need to be shut down!"
<DeathStar> 6* The lights go into red mode as the ship keeps shaking from rocks and core and other things hitting it. Erevis grips her chair, angero n her face
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head, holding Sammael and Zephyr holds Megumi
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb looks around for Daria
<DeathStar> <Daria> They--They can destroy...a world? They must have used...the minerals on the planet and started a chain reaction...
<DeathStar> 6* Daria leans against a console, blood runnning down her head
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh rises and grips a console. She checks the teleporter.
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb rushes over to start inspecting her
<DeathStar> 6* The PAX is still rocking and riding the wave, slowly calming down. Erevis speaks quickly. "What happens after a planet is destroyed? Is there any sort of black hole like with a star?"
<DeathStar> 6* The teleporter seems offline
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "No, just a lot of rocks and debris."
<kalonZombie> <Robb> I don't think so... they aren't dense enough I think. Just a new asteroid field
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "They could damage the ship if the shields are down."
<DeathStar> 6* Ao comes running up from the palace below
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ao and I will use our hyperspace to get emergency power to the bridge
<DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes Erevis, seeing she is okay and nods, moving to consoles
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *keeps Setsuna steady* "My guess is that the population was already dead anyway, not that it matters now."
<Seraphna> Sammael> "H-How could they even plan this..." <Leyaeh> "They probably just planned this as an ambush whenever we would return."
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb checks over Daria carefully
<DeathStar> 6* Daria seems to have banged her head on the console when being thrown around
<Seraphna> Sammael> "Darien... the kids, I need to find them."
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh grunts and grabs Daria. "Hold still." *she focuses and starts healing her wound*
<kalonZombie> <Robb> Thank you, Leyaeh.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds Sammael. "Once the teleporters are up."
<DeathStar> <Daria> Thanks..
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Magical Girl Mem, Thomas, James, and others in the bar would find themselveso n the floor after being tossed
<AquaKoala> *Thomas groans and rushes over to check on To'Saath
<AquaKoala> *James rubs his head, looking around
<kalonZombie> 6*Hi'Saa cries, having come over to visit and scraped something
<ButtermilkEclair> <Mem> What the fuck was that..?
<kalonZombie> 6*To'Saath isn't there, still with her client from earlier
<DeathStar> 6* Low sounding alarms go off.
<AquaKoala> *James hugs onto Hi'Saa tightly
<AquaKoala> Thomas> No clue, hit something?
<DeathStar> 6* Out the viewport they can see the weather control tower is broken off and is floating toward the Palace Tower
<DeathStar> 6* If the two collide, it can be bad.
<ButtermilkEclair> <Mem> Er, I mean... oh my, oh my! Wh-Whatever was that...!/
<kalonZombie> 6*Hi'Saa sniffs, pointing
<kalonZombie> <Hi'Saa> W-we should warn the empress...
<AquaKoala> *Thomas reels, calling security
<ButtermilkEclair> 6Mem points out the view. 1"Uh, that's bad isn't it!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Comms seem offline
<AquaKoala> *Thomas sighs "Everyone, follow me" *Thomas begins moving for the teleporter, sighsing when he finds it offline and begins running for the palace
<AquaKoala> *James carries Hi'Saa, moving after Thomas
<ButtermilkEclair> 6Mem looks around, then starts to sneak off in the background
<DeathStar> 6* AS Thomas runs along, suddenly in front of them a group of beings in black armor teleport in, having wings. They begin to plant devices
<kalonZombie> 6*Hi'Saa hugs onto James tightly. Minion has been leveled up to Knight!
<DeathStar> 6* They point at the group, gesturing at he kids and Thomas, their faces hidden in their helmets
<AquaKoala> *Thomas reels, grabbing James and Hi and trying to run past them
<AquaKoala> *James holds onto Hi'Saa tightly
<DeathStar> 6* One of them grabs Thomas and jerks him, causing JAmews and Hi'Saa to fall to the ground, rolling a bit where they can possiblely run onward and escape, even as Thomas is pinned
<DeathStar> 6* Or will JAmes stay and try to save his pappy?
<kalonZombie> 6*Hi'Saa whimpers scared, trying to crawl away
<DeathStar> 6* The four beings hold Thomas down, while a fifth turns toward the kids
<AquaKoala> Thomas> RUN
<ButtermilkEclair> 6Mem descends from above, striking one of them with a heart mallet over the head.
<AquaKoala> *James blinks, tearing up and begins running away, holding Hi'Saa tightly, surprisingly fast
<ButtermilkEclair> <Mem> Back off, villains! I will defeat you wih the passion of my love!!
<DeathStar> 6* The Other is hit by The mallet, and stumbles, the grip on Thomas loosening. The other three look up, surprised momentarily so Thomas can slither free if he chooses. Kay's room is near all this as well, if he chooses to come out
<DeathStar> 6* The device, meanwhile, beeps once, powering up slowly
<kalonZombie> 6*Hi'Saa clings tightly onto James
<ButtermilkEclair> <Mem> Unhand them, or face justice at the hands of true warriors of love!
<DeathStar> 6* The helmet that was hit by the mallet has a slight crack. JAmes and Hi'Saa, who have run off, are off acmera for now as they head for the palace to warn the Empress.
<AquaKoala> *James continues running
<ButtermilkEclair> 6Mem swipes the mallet, shifting it into a sword, aiming at each of them.
<AquaKoala> *Kay rushes out hearing the noises, comes out running and flying punches one of the knights in the face
<ButtermilkEclair> <Mem> Pick on someone your own size!
<AquaKoala> *Thomas rises and moves to the device, trying to figure out what it is
<ButtermilkEclair> 6Mem poses, smiling sweetly, then shifts her face to a cold killer's grimace of disgust. 1"Before I dismember you into so many pieces forensics won't be able to identify you..."
<DeathStar> 6* Kay hits one in the face, cracking the helmet; he's punched and sent flying into the wall, his face damaged by the hit, like a truck hit him
<DeathStar> 6* The five Others face them, judging the two; the helmet breaking off from Kay's hit and revealing the humanoid face of the Other
<AquaKoala> *Kay groans, trying to scramble up
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be too complicated to figure out, but it has a switch that goes up and down. It's in the upward position; does downward turn it off?
<AquaKoala> *Thomas rubs his chin, then flicks the switch down
<DeathStar> 6* PAX explodes. All dies. Bad ending
<DeathStar> 6* Joking
<AquaKoala> ( ;.; )
<DeathStar> 6* The device shuts down. The Others prepare to do battle
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT
<DeathStar> 6* On the bridge, meanwhile, Erevis and Ao power up the teleporters first so the team can move around
<DeathStar> 6* Right as they are about to do the shields, Others teleport on and grab Ao and Erevis and set a device down. They begin to teleport out in 5
<kalonZombie> <Robb> How you feeling? Need to go to medical? 6*He asks Daria
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* They teleport out
<kalonZombie> <Robb> SHIT! SHIT SHIT SHIT!
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh checks the last teleport location and sets up to go after them.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Assume an explosive!"
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb moves over to it, good with machines
<DeathStar> 6* The device looks complicated with a switch that is an upward position
<DeathStar> 6* It's somewhere outside the ship, but the teleporters aren't designed to go outside the ship except outside security and only if they program it to do so.
<DeathStar> 6* And that's assuming whatever they teleported to is still out there, with the viewport damaged.
<ButtermilkEclair> <Megumi> ... Mew.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I--I could not even react...
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Zephyr, Megumi, I need you outside." *she starts reprogramming it*
<DeathStar> 6* Daria holds her head and DArien grimaces.
<kalonZombie> <Robb> ...Should we throw the switch on this thing?
<Seraphna> Sammael> "Yes. We need them back."
<DeathStar> <Darien> We need to get down to engineer and amake sure things are going. Robb, Daria, teleport down there and make sure the engineers are aware that we need shields
<Seraphna> * Lisa shakes, looking around in fright.
<ButtermilkEclair> <Megumi> Outside?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Unless you want it to do whatever it is they want it to do, then yes."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think she wants me in mech form chasing whatever took Erevis
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Yes, they have a ship out there. That's where they took the Empress."
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb nods, moving to Daria and moving with her
<ButtermilkEclair> <Megumi> Mew. OK.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Sammael. There are Vapaads onboard this ship, send out a telepathic signal with these words." *she says something in Famfrit*
<Seraphna> * Sammael blinks, but does as told.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "...so, flip the switch?"
<Seraphna> Sammael> "Yes.:"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr carries Megumi and teleports to the hanger
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *walks over and flips the switch to the down position.
<DeathStar> 6* The device powers down
<Seraphna> Sammael> "Darien, I have to find Caesura and the girls."
<DeathStar> 6* Daria leans on robb; as they arrivei n engineering the engineers are trying to fix various things that are broken
<Seraphna> * If the message gets out, Vapaads know to alert security and mobilize them throughout the ship.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Go ahead.
<Seraphna> * Sammael takes a teleporter to where they kids should have been last.
<kalonZombie> <Robb> Guys! Word from the top, we need shielding, ASAP
<DeathStar> 6* The Vapaads receive it
<Seraphna> * They also then send orders to send out the PAX's fighters if they can get them up.
<DeathStar> 6* JAmes and Hi'Saa arrive at that moment with their bad news
<Seraphna> Lisa> "Wh-What do I do? Erevis is in trouble!"
<kalonZombie> <Hi'Saa> Th-there's a big building headed this way!
<Seraphna> * Lisa blinks. "Which direction?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Great. Cassandra, you can stand the vaccuum of space still right?
<AquaKoala> *James nods "People attacking! Tower about to hit palace!
<kalonZombie> <Hi'Saa> Uhhh.... 6*She points at the direction she's pretty sure the building is coming from
<DeathStar> #Alt62Space
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Within reason. Just don't let me drift off. Internal life support has its limits."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I just need you to go outside the tower with your railgun and blast the building headed this way off course
<DeathStar> (In #Alt62Space)
<DeathStar> #Alt62Engineering
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Sounds fun." *heads off to do just that*

Session Start: Wed Jun 20 20:20:20 2012
Session Ident: #Alt62Space
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms a mech around Megumi and flies into space, heading toward a ship with 6 wings that's flying away, and Cassandra exits an airlock on the PAlace Tower as the weather control tower drifts toward it
<Seraphna> * If the Fighters are working, Famfrit guards would be deploying too.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *moves forward, a line keeping her secured to the ship. She moves into a position where she can steady herself and readies her railgun.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr flies along the fighters; Other Fighters keep their fighters busy as the Other Ship gets distance. Zephyr gets closer. <How do we get the Empress off again?>
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *takes aim and then fires, aiming toward one side to get the weather tower to spin*
<ButtermilkEclair> <Megumi> <We have to get inside.>
<DeathStar> *When ready to fire for a OG, say so Cass*
<ButtermilkEclair> 6Megumi focuses, forming Zephyr a lance-like weapon to hold. 1"Ram it!"
<Jackieness> ((Ready.

<DeathStar> 6* Looks good, unless I missed something.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra blasts it and the tower takes a massive rail gun hole, splitting into two parts that miss the tower
<DeathStar> (We'll do Kit's in a moment)
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr flies in at the Other Ship, praying she can survive hitting the powerful hull and Megumi and her child is safe. Preapre yourself Megumi, for the Cat Dragon Lance Strike
<DeathStar> 6* When ready, say so

<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr drills into the ship, damaging herself to do it, and her mech form sparking a bit to get through the hull, but they drill through deck after deck right to the lab where Aoa nd ERrevis are strapped naked with Others around them in lab coats. With air being vented into space, they have seconds. Zephyr and Megumi deform, Zephyr bleeding. <Zephyr> Grab them and then I'll reform the mech around you three.
<DeathStar> 6* As Cassandra watches her handy work, suddenly an Other Fighter comes flying right at the Palace Tower, preparing to ram it - theo ther Fighters are too busy to stop this one
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *aims with her rail gun at the fighter and fires*
<ButtermilkEclair> 6Megumi waddles over and flops, one arm over Ao and one over Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* The fighter twirls and dodges, firing blasts at Cassandra, trying to hit her as it gets in closer
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis and Ao weakly eye Megumi. <Erevis> My...Kitten... 6* She smiles at her friend, kissing her cheek. Zephyr touches Megumi as Others come in, aiming a device and firing. She forms the mech as the device hits the mech's side. She then flies up the hole they made
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *leaps to try to evade the blasts, then yanks the cord to pull herself back on to the hull, trying to get in a shot at the fighter as it closes*
<DeathStar> 6* As Cassandra begins to pull herself back along, the cord is blasted and she begins to drift out into space, floating. She still has a chance to shoot the fighter though
<DeathStar> 6* But doing so would launch her deeper into space.
<DeathStar> 6* The fighter, ignoring her now, aims at the Palace Tower where Sets and the others are at and depending on her
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *takes her chance to fire at the fighter, lest the others ake a hit*
<DeathStar> 6* The fighter is destroyed.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra begins to float along as the PAX Fighters wrap up the battle. No one seems to notice her as she floats. Until Zephyr grabs her
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr weakly fliesi nto the hanger
<DeathStar> 6* She then deforms back into Zephyr, holding her side where a black spidery web is forming
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis kneels there weakly, leaning on ao and Megumi
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "...Zephyr, drinks are on me. I'm taking you to a strip club."
<Seraphna> * Medical teams and two security squads approach, as does Lisa.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *giggles, blushing* I--um...hee...6* She blushes like a 16 year old despite being a bit older than that.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods to Cassandra. "I thank you and your team for your work."
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Mostly damage control. We stumbled into that trap."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That race...we must learn more...and cerush them

<DeathStar> 6* The engineers peer at Robb
<kalonZombie> <Robb> You heard me, c'mon!
<DeathStar> <Engineer 2> Who are you and what do you want again?
<kalonZombie> <Robb> Look, we've got hostiles teleporting in, and you need to get the shields up so we can stop them. Or do you really want them to blow this whole place to high hell?
<DeathStar> 6* They begin to move to try to get that up. Daria moves to help, studying what they're doing then pitching in. Does robb hlep?
<kalonZombie> 6*He does, watching, and listening to what the engine needs.
<Seraphna> * A Vapaad enters engineering, with guards. They look over the situation and set up a guard around the engineers.
<DeathStar> 6* When ready to help, Robb, for an OG, say so:
<kalonZombie> ready

<kalonZombie> (Gonna be honest, I didn't make it)
<DeathStar> 6* Robb fries himself and it hurts. Booby
<DeathStar> 6* Daria peers him over. "Are you okay?"
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb winces in pain, grunting "Mmfine"
<DeathStar> 6* Robb can try one more time in a moment
<kalonZombie> 6*He will when he can
<DeathStar> 6* Ready?

<DeathStar> 6* Robb manages to connect the power line, it's not perfect, but it orks and the shields go up in time to stop a massive invasion
<kalonZombie> <Robb> Put the shields up!
<kalonZombie> (Oh they went up right away, misread that)
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb lets out a breath of relief, and takes his time to try and connect it better if he can do so without disconnecting it entirely first
<DeathStar> 6* Daria holds her throbbing head, then falls over, passing out
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb rushes over, shaking her "Shit! We need medical attention!"
<Seraphna> * A Vapaad floats over and picks up Daria, it opens it's armor and Robb sees horrors begyond glowy horror, it's light giving off a healing quality.
<DeathStar> 6* Daria makes a moan sound

Session Start: Wed Jun 20 20:21:10 2012

* aperture.esper.net sets mode: +nt
* kalonZombie has joined #Alt62MemKayFight
* Seraphna has joined #Alt62MemKayFight
* AquaKoala has joined #Alt62MemKayFight
* ButtermilkEclair has joined #Alt62MemKayFight
<DeathStar> 6* The Others face the two, all 5 ready, they fire blasts of ki from their hands at Mem
<AquaKoala> *Kay rushes at them, dodging around the blasts and punches out at the one with the exposed head
<DeathStar> 6* They blur dodge and grab Kay's hand and throw him at Mem
<Seraphna> * Armored and armed security officers begin to mobilize around the ship, some possibly in their area. If the Mighty GM permits.
<AquaKoala> *Kay tries to stop himself, flipping in the air to slow himself down
<DeathStar> 6* The Others eye more joining in and fire blasts, destroying armored officers in one blasts in some cases
<ButtermilkEclair> 6Mem smacks Kay out of the way with her hammer "gently."
<Seraphna> * The officers dive for cover, some bravely fire back screaming cop things as their pals die.
<ButtermilkEclair> 6She then smashes her hammer into the ground. 1"Power of love, compassionately defend these brave pedestrians!"
<AquaKoala> *Kay bounces, srambling back up and rushes at the others again, punching at one again, twisting in the ari to try and avoid a counter attack
<DeathStar> 6* The area shakes and knocks the Others off balance, and Kay punches; as their alarms warn them of the shields, all but 1 escapes in a teleport. The remaining one curses in it's langauge facing Mem and Kay. It looks to be tough, though.
<DeathStar> <Other> ... 6* It cups it's hands togtether and fires a super blast - at the viewport. If that blast hits...
<AquaKoala> *Kay runs and throws himself in front of the blast
<Seraphna> * Guards gasp, but seeing Kay's sacrifice they're inspired and start firing and attack with their all, Famfrits launching crystals at the enemy.
<ButtermilkEclair> 6Mem forms wings on her shoes and flies in at the Other
<ButtermilkEclair> <Mem> Bring it on, ugly face!!
<DeathStar> 6* Kay is hit by the blast, the shot exploding his middle section in half, circuits and internal cyborg parts flying everywhere as Kay goes in three directions, still conscious but in agony and pain unlike anything he's felt since he became one. The Other is hit by all the shots, jerking and bleeding, silver blood leaking down her face as her helmet is shatteed and her tactical suit torn. The female Other stares, white hair blowing as she grabs Mem by the face, with a grip like vice steel
<AquaKoala> *Kay screams out "MY LEGS ARE OFF"
<Seraphna> * ONe Guard forms a large crystal sowrd and leaps, stabbing at the female's back.
<AquaKoala> *Kay tries to drag himself over to the guards, gragging a gun and firing on the Other, careful not to hit Mem
<ButtermilkEclair> 6Mem makes a squeak and struggles, then changes expressions, sneering, forming a multitude of blades around the two of them-- flying in at the two like a pincushion.
<DeathStar> 6* With the stab int othe back, and the firing from Kay, and Mem's stabbing, the woman goes stiff, silver blood dripping everywhere, heavy like lead. She then lets Mem go and falls over, unconscious
<ButtermilkEclair> 6Mem steps back, snickering-- full of blades as well
<AquaKoala> *Kay tosses the gun, twitching in pain "Fucking hate guns."
<ButtermilkEclair> <Mem> Sucker. Bitch thought she ha-- ... er... teehee, oh dear. I appear to be full of holes?
<ButtermilkEclair> 6Mem looks freaked out, full of knives.
<AquaKoala> Kay> I have the slightest feeling you aren't that bubbly.
<DeathStar> 6* The Female Other lays there, peering at Mem with an unconscious look of attaction
<Seraphna> * The guards start binding and securing the other with stuff they'd reserve for a Ridarium due to the display of strength.
<ButtermilkEclair> <Mem> Huuuuh? What'cha talkin' 'bout?
<AquaKoala> Kay> Anyone want to pick up my legs and my bits? I'd like to keep those handy
<DeathStar> 6* Kay's penis has rolled into a vent
<Seraphna> * Medics walk over to kay. They pick up his legs and walk off on a stretcher.
<Seraphna> * J/K
<Seraphna> * The medics pick up Kay too.

<Seraphna> * Leyaeh peers over the controls. "They didn't get enough time to power everything did they..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits in Erevis' chair
<DeathStar> <Darien> Robb and Daria will help get your engineers to get hsields up so they can't teleport in
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "All this is for nothing if they get away with the Goddess. She's our salvation." *she seems to honestly believe it* "Fighters should be launching out of the hangar if your girlfriend's message got out."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back
<DeathStar> <Darien> We will get her back, I'm sure.
<DeathStar> 6* He gets comfortable
<Seraphna> * Lisa paces. "Should have done something... so fast..."
<AquaKoala> *James whimpers in the corner with Hi'Saa, eyeing Darien
<Seraphna> * Setsuna crosses her arms and sniffs, "Maybe we should have just let her blow the place up from afar."
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Lisa, comfort those two and watch them... why the hell is Engineering not done yet?"
<Seraphna> * Lisa moves over to calm James and Hi'Saa.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hi'Saa's holding back tears, a scared little "5" year old
<AquaKoala> *James continues holding on, not crying for Hi's sake, petting her gently and telling her it'll be okay
<Seraphna> Lisa> "It'll be okay... shh..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes shields go up
<DeathStar> <Darien> Robb did it
<DeathStar> <Darien> Good man
<DeathStar> 6* He makes sure to note it was his person that did it
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Yeah... we'll remember that. What we need now is weapons, and engines."
<AquaKoala> *James whispers "Why is sitting on Empress Godess Erevis' throne?"
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Comms would be great too."
<Seraphna> Lisa> "He just likes taking control when he can... and with the Empress away and Ama not here, we need someone to do that."
<DeathStar> (Not the throne, the Captain's chair on the bridge)
<AquaKoala> *James nods and continues hugging onto Hi'Saa
<Seraphna> * A Vapaad appears on the teleporter and moves over to Leyaeh, it turns away from all the others and it's armor opens, Leyaeh starts talking to it. Issuing orders to relay to the other Vapaad.
<DeathStar> 6* The comms begin to work as the Other Ship leaps out of the system
<Seraphna> * The Vapaad closes it's armor and Leyaeh starts taking in reports.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Engineering, we need engines and security systems online ASAP. Medical, deploy to all active areas and retrieve the wounded."
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh lets out a whoop. "Medical teams to the hangar bay. Triple security, STAT."
<Seraphna> * Lisa looks up, blinking, then runs to the teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6* Reports of damage begin to come in - Weather Tower gone, and a few decks have gaping holes and sections missing. Light Jump will be out of the question, only hyperspace. Lives Lost: 400.
<DeathStar> 6* Repair Time Estimates: 1 weel
<DeathStar> 6* ETA Until Hyperspace CAn be Used: 5 hours
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Enginering, dedicate getting Hyperspace online. We jump as soon as your ready, then we'll work on light Jumps."
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Medical... collect the dead..."
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 5.30
<DeathStar> 6* After a long day of repairs and hospital visits, the PAX left the system to another before The Others came back. Zephyr, coming down with an unknown virus, has been isolated in PAX's hospital, where the virus ran it's course, than mysteriously vanished on it's own. She now seems fine and no sign of it it's in her system, apparantly her Dragoon Restoration healing her
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis meets with the team in her palace zone
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What can I do to help you with your investigation?
<DeathStar> <Darien> With the planet gone, there's not much left.... We can check the remaining planets with similiar minerals but there was only one or two others
<AquaKoala> *Kay is the hospital, sans legs
<Seraphna> * Lisa seems to be standing closer to Erevis, as if afriad she'll lose her again.
<DeathStar> <Daria> *she has her head bandaged* If you give us permission, we can look into it. <Darien> Preferablely with our own ships
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Ten to one those planets will be trapped too."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.... Of course you can travel my realm freely and look into the Others. I only ask that you let us know what you find. My territory is vast, so it may take you many weeks to travel in hyperspace
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "I don't think they planned on you guys leading us here, not with our relationship with Earth so poor. They're likely lying in wait in a few spots."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Understood. I thank you. *he looks at Leyaeh, nodding* Hopefully they won't go off with smaller ships.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Then seemed pretty prepared to me."
<DeathStar> <Darien> My guess is that planet was set off to go if the PAX ever showed up
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Not too prepared, or we'd all be dead."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Or, worst case scenario, if Earth sent a battleship into your territory to look into it and thought you boobytrapped it
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Troops seemed minimal compared to what they could have done."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So you think they simply took advantage of a situation and tried to take me
<DeathStar> <Darien> Possiblely.
<Seraphna> Sammael> "I think the Others may be far larger and more numerous then we previously thought."
<DeathStar> <Darien> We need to learn their origins in any case. <Erevis> We will work on the one we captured
<DeathStar> <Darien> Let us know what you learn
<Seraphna> Sammael> "Their weapons, technology, it's all very advanced, and they have intuitive knowledge of Progenitor ships..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you wish us to install a mini teleporter onto your shuttle before you go? IT iwll onlytake a few days and will give your mindless friend time to recover. That way you can send people here for R&R and information
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "I'm investigating anyone from the suspected worlds, I'm more apt to believe that was a case of spying on the Empire."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien considers, peering at Cass for her thoughts
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "It would make it easier on us, but there is the danger that our mission may be compromised."
<DeathStar> 6* Ao speaks up to Sammael. "It's possible they have intuitive knowledge because we have been having a cold war of sorts since our encounter on the Medieval Planet. I have been helping Erevis seek her revenge so we have been battling them where-ever we can. They likely been looking into us.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien considers. "As long as the teleporter can be destroyed, then fine. Looking into you? Do you think that is what led them to Earth? Because you lived there?" <Erevis> I doubt it. They had their own agenda on that planet when Xanatos Durran died.
<Seraphna> Sammael> "I see... that makes sense. It's how they knew which parts of the ship to target that worried me."
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "And where they got their tech."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They did not seem to know what parts, really, to target - only that I was in in the Palace Part. They appeared in a random hallway, after all
<Seraphna> * Sammael considers that, but still finds their use of the teleporter the most suspicious.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Can I ask what you plan to do when we learn more about the Others? <Erevis> Destroy them. <Darien> I see. Alone? You are not allied with any other race. <Erevis> I will cross that when the time comes. Other races do not seem to want to ally with me because I do not share technology and they think I am growing too fast.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright - lets go everyone. We'll wait for Kay and the teleporter, then we'll set out. This will be a long journey in space
<DeathStar> <Darien> So if you get stir crazy go to PAX
<DeathStar> <Erevis> One more thing, befor you go - if you will keep this a secret.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is a teleporter on here to Earth as well. You can use it to return to Earth from your shuttle - from there to here to Earth. If you reveal it's location to Warren Carmichael since it is on his base, I will be displeased
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, and moves off
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/FINAL SCENE-
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands around Kay's bed with a listening device dampener on
<DeathStar> <Darien> So what do you all think of Erevis?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Definitely pissed off."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy sits on Kay's head
<DeathStar> <Darien> But if she a reliable leader?
<DeathStar> <Darien> The people here seem happy, the races that is.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Even the Erusians.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Its easy to keep people happy in times of peace. The reall challenges are about to start."
<AquaKoala> *Kay shrugs "She doesn't seem to like me much"
<AquaKoala> *Kay deadpans at Billy
<DeathStar> <Daria> Would she really risk all these people to wage a war on the Others just because they killed her man?
<Seraphna> * Sammael stands quietly and listens for now.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy is in her cute 6 year old form
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "I think we're about to find out."
<AquaKoala> *Kay deadpans nonetheless
<Seraphna> Sammael> "Mmm. Maybe. Though there are many points in history where a government has become super focused on killing the enemy and sacrificing all they can to do it. It's not the best past, but it's been effective." *she rubs her head* "I guess it's up to us to find another answer."
<DeathStar> 6* Billy pulls out devices, attaching them to his head, tinkering
<DeathStar> <Darien> She trusts some of us. Maybe while we seek answers, some of us can teleport to the PAX and talk sense to her. She's always respected Cassandra, for example
<AquaKoala> Kay>...what are you doing Billy?
<DeathStar> <Billy> MAking you smarter.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "And I do owe Zephyr a trip to the strip club..."
<AquaKoala> Kay> Why?
<DeathStar> <Billy> You give people headaches. *she tinkers with the settings. Though it's hard when Even at the max setting of 1 x 10 all I get is 10.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You give people headaches. *she tinkers with the settings.* Though it's hard when Even at the max setting of 1 x 10 all I get is 10.
<Seraphna> Sammael> "We should talk to Lisa too. She has the Empress' ear."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, this is going to be a long journey. Let us prepare - I just wanted to say one thing. *he looks at them all - even Kay.* You did a good job. Protecting the PAX with quick and fast acting reflexes. I even asked Mem to come along if she wanted - once we reached the planet. Not on the ride. She'd go stir crazy
<DeathStar> <Darien> We could use her skills at the location
<DeathStar> -TBC?-
