<DeathStar> 10-605.6.7
* AquaKoala has joined #AltSession68
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart has brought them down on a small world in what was once the Cartella System, the planet sparcely populated, but this small city seems to be very relaxed, like most of the Cartel once was - the Illium not really caring to crush anything that doesn't resist it. The people here are dressed in typical clothes of slackers/tourists/people on vacation, and the group is wearing disguises accordingly of people with papers who are coming here to do so. The labatories are supposedly hidden underneath the ocean itself, the town built at the ocean/beach
<DeathStar> 6* They have just arrived, not even having time yet to get rooms - one can feel a spiritual attunement here, which might explain the beauty.
<chain> 6*Miyuki's tails rattle
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks along with a bikini ,but wearing a shirt and shorts to hide it for now, her hair done in a ponytail; Iceheart is stretched and relaxed, all decked out and sexy, even for her age.
<chain> <Miyuki> Well dont that just beat all
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks with an arm linked around Chii's
<chain> 6*Miyuki moves forward
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Feel something?
<Sera> Ulieah> "During another time... I'd have loved to be here..." *she says softly, dressed in bikini with a silken skirt too thin to hide her outline, and a matching see through top, dressed fabulously, her hair color and eyes changed, among other things*
<DeathStar> 6* There's a nice hotel up ahead near the beach itself
<DeathStar> 6* A few people glance their way - there also seems to be a lot of Illiums here, an unusual amount for a town offering no-resistance. Subtle, they are not
<DeathStar> 6* The Illiums are marching along toward the City Hall, which they have taken over, and entering it
<Sera> * Ulieah seems to pay them no mind, a girl used to being stared at.
<chain> 6*Miyuki gives no fucks
<chain> <Miyuki> Yeah, lots of spirit energy....
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves into the hotel to get them a room; Iceheart walks to the beach, setting up an umbrella and then a towel
<Artemis> 6Elwyn looks like a giddy rich kid or something, dressed in upper class silk slacks and a chemise with a loose vest, hair in a french bun
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Hm. *she glances at the docks; there appears to be no boats allowed out into the ocean except Illium boats, or boats with special visas, since a few people show off cards on the docks and are allowed past*
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Sera> * Ulieah wiggles her hips a bit and peers around, pausing to stretch out.
* Jackieness has joined #AltSession68
<chain> 6*Miyuki marches forward to inspect some of the boats
<DeathStar> 6* Illium guard steps in front of her.
<DeathStar> <Illium> Turn back and enjoy the beach
<DeathStar> 6* He sparkles in the sun, and his white hair gleams
<Sera> * Ulieah leans over to whisper. "Why do they have to be so pretty?"
<Sera> * To Zephyr
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps back out with their room keys
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You think they look pretty? Eh. I prefer Miyuki and Kasha. *She gropes KAsha's rear*
<Artemis> 6Kasha jumps, eyeing Zephyr, wiggling her fingers.
<Sera> * Ulieah shrugs. "I don't really have anyone to bias me."
<Artemis> <Elwyn> Thanks aunt Kitty.
<Artemis> <Elwyn> Can we go to the beach now?
<chain> <Miyuki> Aaaaw but I just wanted a quick looksie, the Illium yachts are so finely made that they glisten. You cant blame a girl for wanting a teensie weensie little peek
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I just keep wondering---why my body in Prime hasn't sent help yet when she should be getting my memorieso nce a week. *she frowns*
<chain> *Miyuki lays on the girl next door charm with high charisma
<Sera> Ulieah> "Maybe it's been cut off? Something making her think everything's okay?"
<DeathStar> <Illium> I'm afraid they are off limits. *they look immune, almost perfectly alien. His eyes even look a little yellowish* Please, enjoy the beach. Here is a coupon for a free meal at Snuggly's Bar. Get drunk and forget this day. *he hands it to her*
<chain> 6*Miyuki gives a smile but grumbles when she gets to Zephy
<Artemis> <Elwyn> Wow, what a weird thing to say.
<Sera> Ulieah> "...I swear, a courteous guard."
<chain> <Miyuki> I know right?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Freaky
* kalonZombie has joined #AltSession68
<chain> <Miyuki> Makes me wonder...
<chain> 6*Miyuki grins
<chain> <Miyuki> but I have a way around it
<Sera> Ulieah> "I thought that only happened to James with female guards."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wonder what? 6* Iceheart shifts her body under the umbrella, seeing if any Illium guard looks over - none do
<DeathStar> 6* Illium boats go out to the middle of the ocean, where some fog strangely is at despite it being a clear day
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina has made Chii put all their stuff in their rooms - slave labor
<Sera> Ulieah> "Mew..."
<Artemis> 6Chii of alt doesn't complain, passively doing so before changing.
<DeathStar> 6* Chii would find some sexy lingere Kat plans to wear for her later that night in a bag
<chain> <Miyuki> Well think about it, voucher for a free meal, get drunk and forget
<chain> <Miyuki> it could be a set up
<Sera> Ulieah> "Or they really could just not care."
<chain> <Miyuki> Well then 6*she shoves the voucher into Uli's tits
<chain> <Miyuki> YOU can go prove that
<chain> 6*Miyuki moves off to find somewhere shady
<Sera> * Ulieah yawns a bit and watches her move, leaving it in her cleavage.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I got an idea
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds up her hands
<Artemis> <Kasha> That's a first
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Kasha, hurt
<chain> <Miyuki> pfffffffffff
<Artemis> <Kasha> Haven't even stuck it in yet, either
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If anyone cares what my idea is
<chain> <Miyuki> Tell Momma
<Artemis> <Kasha> Of course baby, shh
<Sera> Ulieah> "Tell us. Then run away with me."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> .... *smacks Kasha's ass hard enough to make her yelp*
<chain> 6*Miyuki narrows her eyes
<Artemis> 6Kasha eyes Ulieah as well
<Sera> * Ulieah winks playfully.
<Artemis> 6Kasha whispers to Miyuki, then jerks and grabs her.
<chain> <Miyuki> You wanna start something
<Sera> Ulieah> "Not really."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm guessing since you want to check the boats, you feel something out there - plus the fact they're going out to the fog is just plain suspicious
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't have to breathe - I could just walk into the ocean pretending to swim and walk out there, with something that can make shadows, and you use the bond to let you know when you foxhole in
<chain> 6*Miyuki shakes her head before turning to Zeph
<chain> <Miyuki> Sounds close to what I was gonna suggest sugar tits
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So what, a jar?
<Sera> Ulieah> "Sounds like a plan... I doubt they're looking for people walking on the surface... but I'd watch for mines."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If a jar has enough shadow
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll crawl along the surface then; surely this ocean has sea life
<chain> <Miyuki> bitch the boat makes its own shadow
<Artemis> <Kasha> A big one.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Just give me time - track me in the bond. Until then enjoy the sites.
<Artemis> <Elwyn> Sweeeeet.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pulls her shirt and shorts off, revealing a tight bikini
<Artemis> <Elwyn> Say, Miyubaby.
<DeathStar> 6* She then moves out to the water and dives in
<Artemis> 6Kasha idly tugs the back of her bikini as she does, then snaps it
<DeathStar> 6* A yelp is heard as Zeph goes in
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ouch...
<Artemis> <Kasha> Heh heh heh.
<chain> 6*Miyuki deadpans at Kasha, getting her in a headlock before looking at Elwyn
<Artemis> <Kasha> Don't worry, I'll kiss it better lat--agh
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart eyes the fact no Illum has once looked her way
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> They're gay and they sparkle in the sun
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart sighs
<Artemis> <Elwyn> When're you going to teach me to foxhole? That's so cool
<Sera> Ulieah> "I feel like we're missing something in this equation. I could always summon Fenrir. Nah, that'll happen later."
<chain> <Miyuki> Hmmm...I can put you down for a lesson at a quarter past never
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Miyu...it would mean a lot
<DeathStar> 6* She asks Miyu for her daughter
<chain> <Miyuki> fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Thank you; I owe you one
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pats her
<DeathStar> <Katrina> She's really talented
<AquaKoala> *Qayin moves out of the hotel, having totally came with them totally, Qayin is a arab/african kitsune.
<chain> <Miyuki> Just remember you made a deal with a fox
<Artemis> <Elwyn> But I'm a fox
<Sera> * Ulieah shakes her head a bit and peers around again.
<DeathStar> 6* Soon Zephyr lets them know she's under a boat --- and that there's some labatory in the ocean itself
<DeathStar> 6* To Miyuki and KAsha
<chain> 6*Miyuki perks up
<chain> <Miyuki> Huh....
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What is it?
<chain> <Miyuki> I suddenly...have an urge to sing Little Mermaid....cause something is DEFINITLY
<AquaKoala> *Qayin yawns, plopping down by the group
<chain> 6*Miyuki adjusts ehr shades
<chain> <Miyuki> Undah dah sea
<Sera> * Ulieah tilts her head.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *smiles softly*
<chain> 6*Miyuki giggles
<AquaKoala> Qayin> That was pretty bad.
<Artemis> <Elwyn> Yeaaaaaaaaah!
<Sera> Ulieah> "Kay, next step?"
<AquaKoala> Qayin> Getting in
<Sera> * Ulieah peers at Qayin and yawns a bit, adjusting the transparent skirt of her bathing suit outfit. "Well yes."
<chain> 6*Miyuki asks if its safe to follow just yet
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lets them know it's okay
<chain> 6*Miyuki wiggles and finds a nice shady spot before sinking in like quicksand
<Sera> * Ulieah follows and peers about casually before moving to join Miyu.
<DeathStar> 6* The group appears in the ocean, all getting soaked. Katrina squeaks in surprise at the cool water; they are slightly under a large boat, and before them, ab ove the surface, is a bunch of rocks, like the boat stopped at a small nothing island, with fog all around
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr waves, just a few feet to their side
<AquaKoala> *Qayin swims over quietly
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The lab is under the rocks; if you dive down deep, you can see it; the entrance must be on this surface somewhere, disguised
<chain> 6*Miyuki swims over
<chain> <Miyuki><Foxy Eyes, give me sight beyond sight>
<Sera> * Ulieah swims over. Okay with the water despite being so catty.
<DeathStar> 6* Miyuki would see that one large rock is an illusion and actually beneath it is a lift
<chain> <Miyuki><AH HA MOTHERFUCK---OH SHIT I NEED AIR>
<Sera> * Ulieah peers around, waiting on Miyu to tell them where to go.
<chain> 6*Miyuki points to the rock as she starts for a shadow to fox hole to
<AquaKoala> *Qayin swims that way
<Sera> * Ulieah swims as directed. Ready to summon her Water Summon the aid them.
<Artemis> 6Elwyn wades along after them
<DeathStar> 6* KAt and Zeph use the foxhole
<DeathStar> 6* It's easier and they wave the others to follow
<chain> 6*Miyuki gasps for air when she gets out
<AquaKoala> *Qayin swims through
<Sera> * Ulieah takes it.
<Artemis> 6Elwyn joins them, wiggling water off herself
<DeathStar> 6* They all find themselves on a lift; feeling them on it, it descends
<Sera> Ulieah> "We should probably be ready for trouble."
<AquaKoala> *Qayin huffs, his tail poofing to get water off
<Sera> * Ulieah giggles a bit a Qayin.
<chain> 6*Miyuki huffs and does her snap trick into clean and dry clothes
<AquaKoala> *Qayin blinks
<DeathStar> 6* The lift opens up and they find themselves in a hallway, with Illium like architect - the hallway is made up of their strange metallic structure, and lighting - a bright gray that hurts the eyes. It's got strange arching curves and goes forward
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina and Zephyr walk along, Zeph adjusting her bikini
<AquaKoala> *Qayin puts his sunglasses on
<Sera> * Ulieah peers around, frowning a little.
<chain> 6*Miyuki drags Kasha and moves after them
<Artemis> <Kasha> Bet she gets all chafed. Saltwater, heh heh.
<chain> <Miyuki> Means we'll have to rub her with lotion later
<DeathStar> 6* As they ove forward, they pass a window, and down below, on another floor, they see a labatory, with Illium scientists - and blonde haired dragoons that look a little like Cheryl, being raised in test tubes - they are all ages. 3-12, some 16
<Artemis> 6Elwyn pauses, then holds up her hands and creates a massive downward burst of air over her and Katrina
<DeathStar> 6* They are floating there, being tested. Some are out of the tubes, being talked to and testing strange abilities that are definitely frightening spiritual
<Artemis> <Elwyn> Blowdry!
<AquaKoala> Qayin> Do villains never gettired of this?
<Artemis> <Kasha> Nope nope nope
<Sera> Ulieah> "So the one in question is Cheryl..."
<chain> 6*Miyuki squints her eyes, tails bristling as she tries to feel their energy
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr steps forward to peer down and observe - this hallway seems to be designed for people coming to the base to see what the 'children' are doing and learning
<Sera> Ulieah> "So... now what do we do?"
<DeathStar> 6* The younger one and the older one both summon weapons
<AquaKoala> Qayin> Kill everything?
<chain> <Miyuki> Dont be stupid
<DeathStar> 6* The older one has large club made of gasses, striking a metallic substance. The area down there shakes, like an earthquake, and it propells it backwards. The metallic substance an Illium substance, is nearly impossible to damage
<DeathStar> 6* The younger blonde dragoon with Cherylish features, looks more like a miko, watching passively, almost innocently
<chain> 6*Miyuki makes a face
<DeathStar> 6* Her weapon not quite visible
<Sera> Ulieah> "They're making them different too... h-how are they varying them?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Good question
<Artemis> <Elwyn> ..." 6She tilts her head, feeling them out spiritually.
<AquaKoala> Qayin> Other doners for their dna?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And Oracle --- *Aya's ocde name* wants us to destroy this place?
<chain> <Miyuki> That isnt hard...its based off their personalities and souls
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Possible, Qay
<chain> <Miyuki> Tarot cards can hold different meanings depending on where and how they are placed
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And if Miyuki's right, with the donors...we're looking at something really scary here
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If they're using Cheryl as a base, just -- how twisted can one of these girls become, Miyuki?
<Sera> Ulieah> "And they aren't allies... even though they look like Cheryl... they have to be keeping her alive to harvest her DNA though."
<chain> <Miyuki> VERY
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We have to blow this entire place.
<Sera> Ulieah> "Think she's here? Maybe others too?"
<chain> <Miyuki> Oi
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wait, some of them are like 3 or 4.
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> CAn't they be saved?
<DeathStar> * She points at those in the tubes
<chain> <Miyuki> We arent killing any kids
<Sera> Ulieah> "We need to lern a bit more about this place...and see if Cheryl is here before we blow it it seems."
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina pauses, and looks up as down the hallway they have to proceed to get further in, footsteps are heard, and around the bend they'll have to take, Illium troops and two 16 year old Cheryilish ARcana girls walk around the corner, not seeing them yet, but will in seconds
<DeathStar> -TBC for this group-
<DeathStar> Since we got to do Jackie's group
<Artemis> <DeathStar> 6* Rosetta's cell is on Earth that's been taken over; flying Illium vessels patrol the skies. Though she's younger than Cassandra, it's in her name since Cassandra's name would be a red flag if they were ever hacked. Rosetta leans back, peering up with her rifle. Fiore is quiet, watching out for her niece.
<Artemis> <DeathStar> 6* They are in one of Darien's old safehouses that was never registered to Suisen
<Artemis> <DeathStar> 6* LAying on the roof, she watches the vessels
<Artemis> <DeathStar> 6* Having Dawn's brown hair, she has Cheryl's features
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Rosetta> So that's when you gutted the person, Mem? *She asks lazily*
<Artemis> <AquaKoala> *James' daughter Mars is with them, looking mostly human, completely silent and works on a weapon inside
<Artemis> <Artemis> <Mem> ... Uh, sure!
<Artemis> <kalonZombie> 6*Ethia works in the makeshift medical area she's set up, mostly going with them in case everything goes to shit
<Artemis> <Jackieness> <Cassandra> *stands with her arms crossed as she stands over a tactical map of the planet*
<Artemis> <Seraphna> * Setsuna drinks sake. While Stacey snoozes on a medical bed.
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Rosetta> ... *she sits up, only there at her age due to her dragoon powers, really, and the fact she forced the issue*
<Artemis> <Jackieness> <Cassandra> "This isn't going to work."
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Rosetta> Am I ready to lead a mission? I know Cassandra does the leading, and it's my name only.
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Fiore> .... Hai
<Artemis> <DeathStar> 6* Aya's face appears, blackened out, on a screen
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Aya> R? You ready? *she speaks to Cass*
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Rosetta> But I have to start leading more if I'm going to learn - right?
<Artemis> <Jackieness> <Cassandra> "For another dance. We need to cut the head off." *looks at the screen*
<Artemis> <DeathStar> 6* Daria tinkers with machines in the background
<Artemis> <DeathStar> 6* Daria leans back and tries to see if she can spot Robb's shadowy figure on the screne
<Artemis> <kalonZombie> 6*Ethia holds her head, then shakes Stacey awake "Hey... hey Stace..."
<Artemis> <AquaKoala> *Mars comes out with a bunch of thick disci
<Artemis> <kalonZombie> 6*He's bending over as he's fixing something
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Aya> That won't happen any time soon; you need to follow my advice, unless you want to go rogue. Which you can, if you think I'm too young for this.
<Artemis> <AquaKoala> *Mars hands them out quietly
<Artemis> <Seraphna> * Setsuna peers over and pours more sake.
<Artemis> <DeathStar> 6* Rosetta swings down into the room, adjsuting her short hair
<Artemis> <AquaKoala> *Mars hands some to Rosetta "New."
<Artemis> <Seraphna> * Stacey yawns. "Five more minutes..."
<Artemis> <Jackieness> <Cassandra> "I'm not feeling like playing cowgirl today. WQhat do you have for me?"
<Artemis> <Seraphna> Setsuna> "For the record, I am."
<Artemis> <Artemis> 6Mem wonders how she ended up here, squinting. 1"Bunch of kids..."
<Artemis> <kalonZombie> <Ethia> Sorry, can't give it to you. I'm about to crash myself.
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Aya> We got a mission for you in Mega City; we got a hit that may be Cheryl... *Her voice breaks a little* At least her DNA hit. There's a medical lab facility - they're doing something with her DNA. It may be they're trying to create something with dragoons, or something else. I already have Fox Cell looking at a dragoon/spiritual project, but this looks to be something
<Artemis> more like VI used to do. If I had to guess, Illium is using old files of our enemies to run us ragged by casually making old projects since it's easy for them while they take more planets.
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Aya> But we can't ignore it either
<Artemis> <Seraphna> * Stacey sighs and gets up.
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Aya> Destroy the facility - see if Cheryl is there, or if it's just her DNA
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Aya> Retrieve it either way.
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Aya> Unless it's hostile
<Artemis> <Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Time to waltz then."
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Aya> One thing to note
<Artemis> <Seraphna> <Setsuna> WHen has the last detail ever gotten in our way?
<Artemis> <Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Let's hear it."
<Artemis> <kalonZombie> 6*Ethia rubs Stacey's shoulders
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Aya> Analysing this, if they are doing this to run us ragged, they will expect us to show - I shot that warning off to Fox Cell. The only person they won't see coming is J Unit since he likes to get right in their face.
<Artemis> <kalonZombie> <Ethia> I promise soon we'll spend some time together, alright?
<Artemis> <Seraphna> * Stacey nods.
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Aya> They don't seem to think us smart, making obvious traps. But we have to spring it - so spring it in their face.
<Artemis> <DeathStar> 6* Aya signs out
<Artemis> <DeathStar> 6* She's left all the details she got for them on their datapad.
<Artemis> <Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Alright people! Time to go to a rave!"
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Rosetta> ..... Mom
<Artemis> <kalonZombie> 6*Ethia moves off to go "I'll be back soon, alright?"
<Artemis> <DeathStar> 6* Rosetta frowns. "Well, this mission sucks - I can't lead it if I'm emotional. Am I ever going to get a mission I can lead, Cass?"
<Artemis> <DeathStar> 6* She sighs
<Artemis> <DeathStar> 6* The 14 year old runs a hand through her hair, frustrated.
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Fiore> The fact you know your limits is maturity.
<Artemis> <AquaKoala> *Mars looks down at her disks and sits, having a stack for peope to take them
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Rosetta> Yeah. *she makes her hand stop trembling, then takes what MArs handed him
<Artemis> <Seraphna> Setsuna> "You'll have plenty of time to lead missions. You're young and strong. Just be ready to step up when the call comes."
<Artemis> <AquaKoala> Mars> Flying Guilotine.
<Artemis> <DeathStar> *Her
<Artemis> <Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Your job is to learn in the field."
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Rosetta> Flying what?
<Artemis> <Jackieness> <Cassandra> "If something happens to me, someone is going to need to step up. And if we need to be in two places at once, well I can't be."
<Artemis> <AquaKoala> *Mars picks one up and twirls, throwing it at a wall, as it flies massive blades come out and it sticks into the wall
<Artemis> <AquaKoala> Mars> Flying Guillotine.
<Artemis> <DeathStar> <Rosetta> Right. *She nods*
<DeathStar> Thank you Kit
* Artemis nods
<DeathStar> Ready?
<AquaKoala> Dah
<Jackieness> yes
<Sera> yes
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra leads the group, with Rosetta pushing down her internal feelings into a box, that she closes, putsi nto a closet and slams the door shut. They make their way into occupied Mega City, a dangerous place to be since the Illium/Suisen Empire took it over roughly due to the fact Alexander Cran/Darien Starr/Warren Carmichael resisted them heavily. The place has Illium gunships all over, frightening things that are large, and strangely shaped with guns in strange places
<DeathStar> 6* And troops can be all over - however, the underground resistance has found ways to get around it. A small flower in a window is a sign of a safe haven if you know the password, and need to hide, and moving about the streets during curfew hours is okay. Currently they are on one of the populated streets, moving with other civilians - checkpoints are set up all over major junctions of the city to scan for weapons
<Sera> * Setsuna sighs a little as she moves along with Cass.
<DeathStar> 6* To get to the labatory, they will have to pass through a scanning junction. They do have an ally in Frankie's Bar that claims to have a scrambler to fool it, if they want to make a detour, or they can try to to fool it; here's how a scanning junction loos:
<DeathStar> 6* It covers the entire street block, or if it's a subway area, the entire platform - it's much like Total Recall, in which you walk along a shielding area that shows your entire body, and immediately identifies weapons, which they do have, and anything else illegal.
<DeathStar> 6* And there's usually 10-15 Illiums
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Let's go and have a drink."
<Sera> * Setsuna nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta nods, walking along; they take another street into a shabbier part of the neighborhood, the buildings looking run down from lack of upkeep - the Illiums punishing them for the resistance doing attacks.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *heads for Frankie's Bar*
<Sera> * Setsuna walks along with her like a good ninja wife.
<DeathStar> 6* Soon they arrive outside the bar, which has a flower that makes it look nice and friendly
<DeathStar> 6* outside is a rugged 6 year old girl, looking for coins
<DeathStar> 6* She peers at them hopefully
<DeathStar> 6* Her hair is so dirty, her real hair color is hard to tell
<Sera> * Setsuna flips her one.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "You've been out here a while?"
<DeathStar> 6* The girl catches it happily, and nods to Cass. "Ev'ry day, ma'am"
<Sera> Setsuna> "No folks to feed kiddo?"
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "See anything interesting? How's the drinks in there?"
<DeathStar> <Girl> Certain drinks are real'ee good for the right people
<DeathStar> 6* She says mysteriouslym nodding to Cass
<DeathStar> <Girl> I reco'mend the Flowa Shaka.
<DeathStar> 6 *She looks at Setsuna
<DeathStar> <Girl> Just me
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "I'll have to take you up on that. Thanks."
<Sera> Setsuna> "Mmm... you stay tough, kay kid?" *she peers at her curiously, wondering if she's anyone they should recognize*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *heads into the bar*
<Sera> * Setsuna follows her in.
<DeathStar> 6* just a stranger in a crowd; as they enter, they would find the bar has a few patrons, sitting about, and one Illium in the corner, spying. The bartender waves and a waitress leads them to their seats
<DeathStar> <WAitress> What do you want?
<Sera> Setsuna> "A Flowa Shaka."
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Same for me."
<DeathStar> <WAitress> Flower Shaker? Okay. *She giggles and moves to get their orders, all smiles, talking to the bartender, who glances at them a moment and nods; they move to prepare the drinks
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *glances around as she waits*
<Sera> Setsuna> "So..."
<DeathStar> 6* The waitress returns with their drinks, and something else on the tray. "That will be 20 credits."
<DeathStar> 6* The object is hidden behind their cups
<Sera> * Setsuna passes her the credits.
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta watches quietly, and FIore is silently scoping the area
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *reaches over to her drinks, discreetly opening an arm compartment and slipping the object in as she picks up the glass*
<DeathStar> 6* The drinks burn a lot, and give them energy.
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> You guys shouldn't drink this time of day. *she chides, like a kid might*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "We're in a bar. You drink in a bar."
<Sera> * Setsuna coos at the burn. "Love this drink. We're finding out how to mix it."
<DeathStar> <Fiore> Should move; being looked at
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> I have that job interview
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> CAn we go?
<Sera> Sets< Ket's move.
<Sera> Sets> Let's move.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Ok, we'll go." *stands* "Spoilsports."
<Sera> * Sets gets up and starts heading out.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *heads out the door*
<Artemis> 6Mem trails them, still trying to figure out why she's with this group, but if it leads to finding Cheryl...
<DeathStar> 6* They exit, the girl waving
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta squeezes Mem's hand, talking in a bond like link
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> <What's up?>
<Sera> * Sets waves.
<Artemis> 6Mem blinks, still not used to this girl or strange abilities. <1This unit's weird fit for me, isn't it?>
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Ok, let's go sleep it off." *code for let's find a safehouse and prep for action*
<Sera> * Sets nods and moves along keeping an eye out.
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> <You used to work with mom in special ops. This is special ops>
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> Shouldn't we try to cross the security first?
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> We're not any closer to the lab yet.
<Artemis> <Mem> <Work is relative...>
<Sera> Sets> "Think she wants to check the device before we use it."
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> I guess that makes sense
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta quiets as the Illium peers outside at them, but doesn't follow
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Shhhh."
<DeathStar> 6* They walk along - soon they see a flower in a window
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *nods and heads to the door, glancing around to make sure the coast is clear*
<Sera> * Setsuna moves with Cassandra.
<DeathStar> 6* Once knocking and using the password, an old woman lets them in and gives them tea, letting them use her place
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> Alright, now what? *Fiore looks about*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *takes out the device to look it over* "For future reference, first rule of mission club, don't talk about mission club. Especially when an Illium spotter is in the bar you just left."
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> Yes, ma'am..sorry...my emotions are clouding me. I will try to buryi t better
<Sera> Setsuna> "Not too much. No becoming a robot." *she winks* "The device look good?"
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be something you put on you and tap a button - and it generates a field. And it looks in working order
<Sera> Setsuna> "Will it cover all of us?"
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "All appears to be in order. Wonder what the radius on this thing is though."
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be enough if they walk close together
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "We'll have to stick together, looks like. So no wondering off. No getting distracted as we go through the checkpoints."
<Sera> Setsuna> "So we stick close together. Might wanna load the weapons on whoever's actually wearing it then."
<Artemis> 6Mem tightens her reign, remaining closest to Rosetta.
<DeathStar> -Final scene-
<DeathStar> 6* They approach the checkpoint, the large Total Recall like screen, people walking both ways at all times, and Illium guards. The device activated. If this works, all is good, if not, they are dead in the water. Rosetta, glancing at Mem, nods. Fiore walks along, guin hidden in her casual clothing
<DeathStar> 6* With CAssandra leading, she will walk into the field first when ready
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *glances at the others and then nods*
<Sera> * Setsuna sticks close to Cassandra.
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta nods back
<DeathStar> <Fiore> Good---luck
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *nods again and starts moving into the checkpoint*
<DeathStar>  6* Their skeletons show up on the screen the Illiums watch - but nothing else, but they don't know that. They walk down the long checkpoint screen, Illium eyes on them. Others walk to and fro, broken expressions of those beaten down
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta forces her eyes forward - what if the device breaks half-way? They reach the 1/4th mark
<DeathStar> 6* Fiore walks along casually, never glancing to the Illius
<Artemis> <Mem> <Don't think that way. I can tell just by your aura.>
<Sera> * Setsuna keeps moving, keeping casual.
<DeathStar> 6* From this point on, you will not know if the device is working
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *continues walking, not pausing in her step.
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> <Yes, Aunt Mem>
<DeathStar> 6* One Illium shifts, glancing at them
<Sera> * Setsuna just keeps her pace with Cassandra, paying them no mind.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *maintain her steady pace*
<DeathStar> 6* Half-way
<Artemis> 6Mem doesn't flinch, since it really wouldn't affect her morale if it failed or not
<DeathStar> 6* 3/ths
<DeathStar> 6* They exit. Outside, one Illium in the sunlight sparkles
<DeathStar> 6* He nods to them politely
<Sera> * Setsuna bows her head politely back.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *moves on past*
<DeathStar> 6* AS they move on the other side, after a few blocks, they reach their destination - a corporation called Dragon Inc.
<DeathStar> 6* The front is that it makes dragon plushies
<DeathStar> 6* And leather jackets.
<DeathStar> 6* And fire products
<DeathStar> 6* But Aya's notes indicate that the lab is inside
<DeathStar> <Fiore> Definitely....trap....
<Sera> Setsuna> "Those are the funnest ones."
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Let's take a walk around the block" *i.e. let's case the place*
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta nods, peering at it, then takes a deep breath, moving to do so. She pauses before they can - the door opens a blonde woman, hair cut very short, to the nape of her neck, Cheryl like face, steps out, looking to be 20, and all professional, wearing a business suit, and walks up to a limo that drives up
<DeathStar> 6* The woman gets inside the limo as the door is held open for , and two assistants get in with her
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> M--- no. A dragoon made?
<DeathStar> <Fiore> Must be more....inside...
<Sera> * Setsuna nods, she pauses and watches, frowning. "Are they cloning her...?"
<Artemis> <Mem> <...>
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *whisper* "Focus on the mission. Speculate later."
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> Let's find out. *she eyes the place*
<DeathStar> -tBC-
