The Alien Wars 5: Trinity

Classic Session 13

01<DeathStar> 1
01<DeathStar> -0-
01<DeathStar> Date: 2 days after last
01<DeathStar> 6* Cole explodes to death.
01<DeathStar> 6* He then wakes up.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks awake and peers around quickly.
01<DeathStar> 6* Wiendigo stands in front of the shuttle they are using to go into space. There's no sign of Iceheart for the last day. "Alright, get on and stay quiet." 6* He orders. John and Ire are off to the side, since the team will be watching the base. Cheryl peers about, studying it
01<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets her gear together to go. Erevis stands about, peering around
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax stands by Ire and John, glancing around.
<Seraphna> * Anyata climbs aboard the shuttle, suited up and ready to go.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole rubs his head and checks the time, he tchs and gets his bag, jumping up to run to the shuttle
<Seraphna> * Seraphna and Elayne stand with John, Seraphna nose deep in a datapad.
<Xanatos> <Phirax> Just the one going? 6He says after a second, glancing to the others, then Anya.
<Eluere> <Null> Anyone seen master?
<Seraphna> * Anya turns about to look. "Null should be coming... there she is."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna looks up, grimfaced.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole slides to a walk outside the hanger and steps in, moving for the shuttle all nonchalant.
<Seraphna> * Anya looks back at the others, she looks at Cheryl. "I hope you do not mind Kumiko watching Andrea while I am gone."
<Xanatos> 6* Classy Xan stands behind Erevis, looking around. Bitchin place.
01<DeathStar> 6* Atay walks in and peers at them going. "Bye bye!~"
<Seraphna> * Anya waves back. "Goodbye sister."
01<DeathStar> 6* She's naked. John peers at her slowly; her purple hair matches her carpet
01<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She'll be fine with Kumiko
<Seraphna> * Anya blinks, then rushes over to her, shielding her. "C-Clothes!"
01<DeathStar> <Wiendigo> Iceheart resigned
01<DeathStar> 6* Wiendigo walks into the shuttle.
<Seraphna> * Elayne sighs and walks over, draping her coat over Atay. "I'll watch her, get going Anya."
01<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks; Erevis, seeing Atay naked, begins to strip, too
01<DeathStar> <Atay> Bye bye, sis!
01<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles and waves at them, getting inside the shuttle
<Seraphna> * Anya flushes and kisses Atay's cheek. "Take care..." *she moves to get on the shuttle*
<Eluere> <Null> Is Aya staying here..?
01<DeathStar> 6* Aya runs in. "Here I am!"
<Xanatos> 6* Cole lets out a whistle and steps up on the shuttle.
01<DeathStar> 6* Aya holds lots of datapads, scanners, a gun, and punching gloves
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos arches a brow and slowly leans forward, glancing over Erevis' shoulder.
01<DeathStar> 6* John peers at Erevis now
<Seraphna> * Elayne looks over at Erevis. <Clothes! Put them on!>
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "You be careful Aya!"
01<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes elayne. <You are ordering me, a goddess?>
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> You've got a sexy body, lady.
01<DeathStar> 6* Aya hugs Null, giving her a cheek kiss and gets on the shuttle
01<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thank you; I know.
<Seraphna> Elayne> <No, trying to save you some embarrasment, Mistrsss. Xan is being a perv and looking.>
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gives her a smile and a thumbs up, leaning back.
01<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hmms, then Elayne's clothes fall of mentally. "You may look at her."
<Seraphna> * Elayne squeaks and covers herself. "H-Hey!"
01<DeathStar> 6* John peers at Elayne now
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I love this job.
<Seraphna> * Anya sighs as she sits, rubbing her head a little. "I see Hunter station will be in good hands..."
<Seraphna> * Elayne blushes, grabbing her clothes. "E-Erevis..."
01<DeathStar> 6* Katrina settles in on the shuttle. Ire nods to the shuttle as it takes off; the camera now fdocuses inside with all the Hunters
01<DeathStar> 6* Wiendigo inputs the codes and they leap into hyperspace. Katrina goes through her work on a datapad, while Aya sets up devices to scan the shuttle and people in it
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns. "Remind me to work on her clothing protocols when we get back."
<Eluere> <Null> Certainly brought a lot along, Aya.
01<DeathStar> <Aya> I still wonder why she began to moan like she was...um...having..sex... in the lab once.
01<DeathStar> <Aya> I want to make sure no viruses attack us
<Seraphna> * Anyata flushes and looks away. "I-It is fine."
<Xanatos> <Cole> So Ice quit? 6He asks as he glances around.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "She believed we have surpassed what she can teach us and wanted to move on."
01<DeathStar> <Aya> She seemed to be looking over her shoulder a lot before she left.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Sounds like BS to me. She probably wanted to stay but is doing that tough chick routine.
01<DeathStar> <Katrina> Tough chick routine?
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Maybe she will miss us..." *she looks down, frowning*
<Eluere> <Null> I don't think she'll miss us.
01<DeathStar> <Aya> .... 6* She hugs Null. "Why?"
<Xanatos> <Cole> Yeah, the type that has some types of feelings that she thinks would make her vulnerable so she runs from them instead of dealing with them.
<Xanatos> <Cole> OR she just hated the shit out of us.
01<DeathStar> <Wiendigo> That shows how little you know, little boy.
<Eluere> <Null> Not that kind of person.
01<DeathStar> 6* Wiendigo eyes Cole. "If she left, it was to get away from things she didn't like."
<Seraphna> * Anyata sits back and crosses her arms, closing her eyes at that. "Didn't like..."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole points to himself. Wasn't me, I left her alone.
01<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, she was doing her own thing before we brought in her; I think she went back to that once she felt Null and Anyata were ready to stand on their own two feet. After all, it wasn't her job to run the Hunters. 6* Wiendigo grunts.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Or train us, originally."
<Xanatos> <Cole> She wouldn't have stayed around if I had did it. So you should thank me.
01<DeathStar> <Katrina> Done it.
<Seraphna> * Anyata smirks. "Interesting logic. Thank you."
<Xanatos> <Cole> What?
01<DeathStar> <Katrina> 'If I had done it'.
<Xanatos> <Cole> That's what I said.
01<DeathStar> <Katrina> You said 'I had did it'.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Nah I don't think so.
01<DeathStar> 6* Katrina replays his words.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "He may still have some circuits loose, Aya should look him over."
<Xanatos> <Cole> That doesn't even sound like me.
01<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods and gets her tools out, moving to open up Cole's head
01<DeathStar> <Aya> Now try to relax, Cole.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole holds up a finger and shakes his head to Aya. No.
01<DeathStar> <Aya> You're clearly malfuctioning. 6* Katrina seems amused, her work done
<Xanatos> <Cole> I'm clearly joking around with Katrina, kid.
<Seraphna> Anya> "Denial, first signs of possible Maverick activity."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Well if I turn Maverick at least I know who I'll attack first. 6He eyes Anyata.
01<DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks, then sits back. "Oh. I'm sorry." 6* Katrina giggles softly
<Seraphna> * Anyata pouts. "That hurts the feelings you know. So very Maverick like."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole winks at Aya. It's alright. 6He shakes his head and glances to Katrina. I sound weird by the way.
<Eluere> <Null> Don't joke about Maverick..
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns a little. "Very well."
01<DeathStar> 6* Wiendigo eyes the 'knock everyone out button', debates, then hits it
01<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
01<DeathStar> 6* 2 days later, and some change, the group wakes up. Aya and Katrina hold their heads, weak and hungry, as Wiendigo announces they are almost to their target
<Xanatos> <Cole> What the hell happened?
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Wein hit the mute button. Aya, KAtrina, you should take rations."
<Xanatos> <Cole> The what?
<Eluere> <Null> That's... not right.
01<DeathStar> 6* The two nod weakly and gets some food and water.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "A knock out button. Judging by our status."
01<DeathStar> <Wiendigo> You got a problem with it, file a complaint later.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "That goes in the complain box, right?"
<Xanatos> 6* Cole snorts and checks on Kat, moving to get her a ration.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "The one shaped suspiciously like a shredder and wastebin?"
01<DeathStar> <Wiendigo> Smart girl
01<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sips her water, shaking her head a bit, then smiles at cole, leading AYa to the back to change their clothing while Cole does it
<Eluere> <Null> I preferred master Iceheart.
01<DeathStar> <Wiendigo> Alright, listen up for your briefing, I won't repeat this
<Seraphna> * Anyata listens quietly.
01<DeathStar> <Wiendigo> The Robot Homeworld has no living beings on it; it's made up of robot life form from all over the galaxy, including reploids. We're here to talk to the other Mark III Reploids about how Maverick Mark 3s showed up and to get you all upgrades. Don't start some intergalactic shit
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Keep quiet and be a good soldier, got it."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole gets two and then sits back down, glancing to Wiendigo.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Aya and Katrina being here going to be any trouble?
<Eluere> <Null> You're not my officer..
01<DeathStar> <Wiendigo> It shouldn't be unless they say something wrong.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole gives a nod.
01<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina and Aya return from a sponge bath and changing clothing, sitting down
<Seraphna> * Anyata slowly looks at Null. "Weindigo is our commanding officer."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole holds out a ration to the each of them.
01<DeathStar> 6* They each take one, smiling
<Xanatos> <Cole> SO, what would be a WRONG thing to say, just so...you know, I won't say it.
01<DeathStar> <Wiendigo> You'll know when they declare war. 6* they exit hyperspace and approach a planet that looks like a big machine ball in space
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Probably saying anything anti-machine."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Don't mention how amazing tacos are. Check. 6He peers ahead toward the planet and hums, leaning back.
01<DeathStar> 6* Wiendigo sends in a transmission code
01<DeathStar> 6* Aya glances at her data, poking the datapad, then looks at Null, leaning against her. They get in closer to the giant planet and can see a fleet about it, the ships designed in various shapes and forms
<Xanatos> 6* Cole crosses his arms. Nice fleet.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Well defended."
01<DeathStar> <Katrina> They must have done it due to the threat from the Bots.
<Eluere> 6Null holds Aya closer to herself
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns, looking over the planet quietly.
01<DeathStar> 6* They descend on the planet and get in closer; the surface is all metallic made and the houses seem to be metal, too; they approach a metal runway with blinking lights
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Mmm, a world of machines... sounds homey to me."
<Xanatos> <Cole> I kinda miss trees. Er. 6he pause and glances up, whistling.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "That's one of those things you may want to avoid."
01<DeathStar> 6* They land on the runway; after coming to a stop, the runway sinks into the ground
<Xanatos> <Cole> I love metal. It's fucking great.
01<DeathStar> <Katrina> Amazin
<Seraphna> Anyata> "...Slightly better."
<Eluere> <Null> This place looks frightening to me.
01<DeathStar> 6* They come to a stop in an underground area, and people are waiting on them. - Robotic people. Lights come on and they can see a blue sky and an ocean near by, despite being underground. Wiendigo lowers the ramp and Katrina and Aya move off to look about; the sounds of wave echoing about. There's no air, though
01<DeathStar> *air as in wind
01<DeathStar> 6* A reploid that looks human steps up. "Welcome; we brought you down here so you will not suffocate."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole steps and glances around. Well thanks. 6He says with a smile.
<Seraphna> * Anyata adjusts her jacket and steps over to the ramp. "Thank you. We are pleased to meet you."
01<DeathStar> 6* Wiendigo steps down, grunting. <Reploid> Follow me. 6* He walks along a street next to the ocean, though the street feels even like a flat surface. Clouds float over their head
<Seraphna> * Anyata follows, walking along quietly.
<Xanatos> <Cole> How do you have all the clouds and sky and everything?
<Seraphna> * Anyata eyes him quietly.
<Eluere> <Null> Projections?
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> Holograms; we like to look at beauty, too. The water is even real.
01<DeathStar> 6* He taps a button and it begins to rain on the group. Katrina and Null's shirts get soaked, showing their breasts
01<DeathStar> *Aya's
<Eluere> <Null> ... Interesting. Much beyond Doppler or whatever.
01<DeathStar> 6* Wiendigo peers at Aya's breasts; though it's hard, with his shades on, to tell where he looks
<Xanatos> <Cole> This is neat.
<Seraphna> * Anyata pulls her jacket closed more.
01<DeathStar> 6* The reploid stops the rain and the sun comes back out
<Eluere> 6Null closes her half-jacket a bit, mumbling.
01<DeathStar> 6* They arrive inside a room with nice comfy chairs, food on the table, and a window to enjoy the view. The reploid takes a seat, as does Katrina and Aya; they don't bother to cover themselves, since their hair is already a mess and they look rough as it is
<Seraphna> * Anyata takes a seat, crossing her legs.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole rubs the side of his cheek and takes a seat.
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> What can we help you with? 6* Wiendigo motions his hand for the others to speak, leaning against the wall and putting his hands to it
<Xanatos> <Cole> We're here to talk about some Mark 3 reploids that we've ran into some problems with.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "We're also interested in getting upgrades."
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> Oh? What kind of problem?
<Eluere> <Null> Upgrades...
<Xanatos> <Cole> Well they seem to have been taken by the...maverick virus.
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> Well, I can assure you there are no viruses here. Are you sure your scientists didn't make their own upgraded reploids? <Katrina> The design was very much like Wiendigo's, who was made into a Mark 3 here
<Xanatos> <Cole> Is it possible some of your people may have gotten abducted or something like that?
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> No, no one here has been abducted. 6* Wiendigo removes his hands from the walls to do his trademark arm cross. <Wiendigo> That doesn't explain how mark 3s got on EArth. Runt, show him the scans we managed
01<DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks, then realizes he means her; she stands up so her breasts are visible again and Wiendigo stares at her impassively as she hands it to the reploid
<Eluere> <Null> Aya, you're showing off.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Is it possible they masked the fact that they were infected while coming here, gotten the upgrades and left without launching an offense on this world?"
01<DeathStar> <Aya> Showing off?
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> People who come here do not leave after being upgraded - they are part of the community. We only upgraded Wiendigo to save his life and stop the Bot threat. Hmmm, I do not recognize these numbers or signatures. Every reploid, unless they are siblings, have different signatures
<Xanatos> <Cole> So if no one was abducted, maybe the data on how to upgrade to 3 was leaked?
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> I do not see how; are you sure Wiendigo was not abducted? <Wiendigo> Positive; you black boxed me so even I don't know
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> Also, I'm afraid we cannot upgrade your people.
01<DeathStar> <Katrina> But---we need to be able to defeat the Mavericks and protect innocent people, including other reploids
<Xanatos> <Cole> You could do the blackbox thing to us too.
<Eluere> 6Null gestures at her shirt
<Seraphna> Anyata> "We stand no chance without aid. Vile was nearly inulnerable to our attacks."
01<DeathStar> 6* Aya blushes and sits, ducking forward
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> We are not under threat like we were when we did Wiendigo. I'm afraid your affairs are not our affairs. any non-infected reploid is welcome to come live here if they feel they are in danger on your planet
<Seraphna> Anyata> "If the Mavericks win, they will infect every Reploid on Earth, I do not hesitate to imagine they will want your world and it's superior technology after that."
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> We are far superior to simple Earth reploids
<Xanatos> 6* Cole makes a face at that. Right.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "I have no doubt of that, but now that they have those upgrades, they can not only backwards engineer what they have, but they will have numbers... they could endanger you."
<Xanatos> <Cole> All it take is for one to get infected and then it'll spread like wildfire, you really willing to risk that?
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> We have over a million robotic lifeforms from various races; Earth has maybe 10,000
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> As for infection, we have high viral safety protocols and we do not let ships on our planet without scanning them first. We only allowed you all in due to your group's help in the past
01<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6* She lets out a breath, looking actually angry.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole hmms. Could we...trade or something?
<Seraphna> Anyata> "But... what if they somehow get onto your world? They have... they have allies we don't fully understand yet."
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> I do not know what you could possiblely trade.
<Eluere> <Null> You keep saying advanced this and that... how do I compare?
<Seraphna> * Anyata considers. She jerks as Null asks something like that.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole hmms and glances to Katrina,s hrugging slightly.
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> You are a highly advanced Mark II; if you joined our society permenantly we would greatly benefit after upgrading you to your full potential as a mark III.
01<DeathStar> <Aya> You scanned her? <Reploid> Yes.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Well. Seems like we've wasted your time.
<Eluere> <Null> Me?" 6She looks surprised.
<Eluere> <Null> I'm a prototype. Not even fully-designed like Anyata.
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> You would be surprised what you could achieve here with your design specs. Anyata, too.
01<DeathStar> <Wiendigo> *snorts* Hear that, Cole? They want the two girls.
<Seraphna> * Anyata sighs a little. "Our enemies are advanced, you can see the data we've provided. Is there no way you'd consider aiding us?"
<Eluere> <Null> Hm.
<Xanatos> <Cole> I must REALLY suck.
<Eluere> <Null> What does being "Mk III" entail? Other hunters have had armor upgrades but..
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> Well, it--- 6* There's an alarm. "Excuse me. Wait here." 6* He steps out of the room.
01<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at her datapad, running her scans quickly while she thikns they are alone
01<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... I'd comment freely but they are likely listening in.
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns. "I really hope that isn't bad..."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Seriously, they want the girls and not ME? I'm so hurt right now.
01<DeathStar> <Katrina> You are older than them in some ways
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns and looks down. "They are very polite, even if they do not seem inclined to help."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Most everyway really. I'm probably older than ol Wien here.
01<DeathStar> <Wiendigo> No.
<Eluere> 6Null summons her armor, peering at it curiously.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Either way, us old timers have to stick together...right?
01<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're older than the wasteland period's beginnings, Cole?
<Xanatos> <Cole> Maybe?
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns a little, the talk seems to be troubling her.
01<DeathStar> 6* Aya polishes Null, then eyes some data. "Hm, that's odd, I recognize this---" 6* The reploid steps in. "We have an emergency. We need your two females to help us."
<Seraphna> * Anyata rises.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Well, we could help, but you know you wouldn't really HELP us...
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Cole." *she peers at the reploid* "What do you need?"
<Eluere> <Null> U-Us? Why just us?
<Xanatos> 6* Cole glances to Wien, then the reploid.
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> No, your human females.
<Seraphna> * Anyata steps over to the reploid. Apparently her asking is only formal.
<Seraphna> * Anyata pauses.
01<DeathStar> 6* Katrina and Aya blink
<Xanatos> <Cole> Wait, what?
<Seraphna> * Anyata slowly looks at Katrina and Aya, then back at the Reploid.
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> The greatest threat to all mechanical life has returned. The Bots are advancing.
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns. "...All our enemies are returning..."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole lets out a whistle. Well that doesn't sound good.
01<DeathStar> <Wiendigo> IF we help you, we want upgrades.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Us old timers think alike. 6He mumbles.
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> Of course, of course, after--- <Wiendigo> Now. We'll send the two women out with me to get an attack ready, you upgrade these three. <Reploid> ... of course
01<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rises, checking her sabre. Aya looks at her own weapons she brought, frowning worriedly, though she seems also eager
<Xanatos> <Cole> Katrina, Aya. You be careful.
<Eluere> <Null> Who the hell are the Bots?
<Seraphna> * Anyata blinks a bit. "...Yes, the two of you please be careful."
01<DeathStar> <Katrina> The Bots are an artifical life form that assimulates all mechanical lifeform to their collective, making them all a hive mind that serves the greater good of the Bots - meaning no individuality. The Bots travel from planet to planet, assimulating all machines on it and killing anything in it's way until it's harvest is complete
<Eluere> <Null> ... Oh. Wonderful.
<Eluere> <Null> Do you have a command center? Aya is my operator.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole gives Wiendigo a nod and crosses his arms, looking slightly worried as he peers towards the two humans.
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> We need her to fight them directly. If a Bot touches a machine it can assimulate them
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> or fleet will attack it's fleet, but any who reach the surface need to be killed quickly
01<DeathStar> *our
<Seraphna> Anyata> "And biologicals aren't of interest to th bots, so they are good to fight them?"
<Xanatos> <Cole> They'll still try to kill them.
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> Yes; they will try to kill them, but not assimulate.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Meaning they have a better chance..." *she frowns, personally useless as a melee unit*
01<DeathStar> <Aya> I'll be careful, Null. I'll protect you until you're upgraded. 6* She slips Null a note, her look indicating to look at it later, when she hugs her, then hurries off with Katrina. Wiendigo follows after the two girls.
01<DeathStar> 6* The reploid looks at the three. "Follow me this way."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole gets to his feet, glancing towards where the three just left and then moves towards the reploid. So do Mark 3s have an immunity or something?
<Eluere> 6Null nods to Aya. 1"Thank you. See you later."
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> No, but they are harder to assimulate.
<Seraphna> * Anyata moves to follow with Cole.
01<DeathStar> 6* He leads them down a hallway; the ocean and sky return to a normal hallway
<Xanatos> <Cole> Ah, well after the upgrade, we'll help if it's still needed. It's only right.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Of course we will."
01<DeathStar> 6* They are led into a room with three chairs to lay in.
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> The process will take some time; you will be unconscious for it
<Seraphna> * Anyata moves to one, taking a seat. "Understood."
<Eluere> <Null> ... Alright.
<Xanatos> <Cole> U-Unconcious? 6He frowns and glances off to the side.
<Eluere> 6Null wonders if she really will be, since she dreams.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole lets out a sigh and takes a seat.
01<DeathStar> <Reploid> If there's anything you need to do, I suggest you do it now before you shut down
<Xanatos> <Cole> Yeah I'm good.
01<DeathStar> 6* The reploid plugs Cole in and he slumps, deactivated
<Seraphna> * Anyata considers and pulls out a datapad, she looks at something fondly before putting it away. She then lays down. Peering at Null.
<Eluere> 6Null sits, but takes out the note to look at it briefly
01<DeathStar> Note: I detected the same viral signature in the test bot, before the Bot attack, here - the signature also was found in Anyata's sister before we cured it. I think it may be the maverick virus. One of us may have brought it
<Eluere> <Null> ..." 6She frowns, shifting a bit, but nods that she's ready
01<DeathStar> 6* Null and Anyata are plugged into the machines; the world goes black for each
01<DeathStar> 6* When the three awaken again, the room is dark and they are alone. Their weapons are enhanced for more damage, their armor enhanced, their sensors enhanced - and that is all they can detect. Though it doesn't match that of Vile. Was the process incomplete, or was Vile even stronger than a Mark III?
<Xanatos> 6* Cole takes a few moments to register what's going on before pausing. What the heck happened?
<Seraphna> * Anyata opens her eyes, blinking a little. "...I feel upgraded... is this... all?"
<Xanatos> <Cole> S'pose so. 6He gets to his feet, peering around the room. Hello? Anyone out there?
01<DeathStar> 6* Cole's voice echos in the empty, dark room; the door is shut
<Xanatos> <Cole> The fuck is going on? 6He moves over to the door and tries to open it.
<Eluere> <Null> I don't think it was finished properly.
<Seraphna> * Anyata rises and frowns. "Did something happen? Null, try to contact Aya."
<Eluere> 6Null nods, using her helmet comm. 1"Aya? Do you read?"
01<DeathStar> 6* The comm is static
01<DeathStar> 6* The door seems shut and no power running to it
<Eluere> <Null> Nothing..
<Seraphna> Anyata> "...Power went out... on the Machine homeworld."
<Xanatos> <Cole> The attack must've went badly. 6He ignites his katar and moves to cut the door open.
<Seraphna> * Anyata summons her armor. "Let's blow the door and investigate."
01<DeathStar> 6* The upgraded KAtars cut through the door quickly.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Now that feels like they used too. 6He muses, shifting to peek out quickly and get an idea of whats out there.
<Eluere> <Null> Did we lose while asleep?
<Eluere> 6Null eyes her armor for differences, then shifts to get up and flex her fingers.
01<DeathStar> 6* As C ole looks out, he'd see blood on the hallway floor and some of Aya's clothing. The blood has been used to spell something, hidden under the clothing
<Xanatos> 6* Cole archs a brow and kneels, lifting the clothing.
01<DeathStar> 6* It reads 'Sigma Virus'
<Seraphna> * Anyata looks over, peering at it, then up at Cole. "...How did the virus get here? We cleaned you out."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole tchs. You two might want to read this. 6He tosses the clothing to Null. I like how you instantly blame me.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "I believe I just exhonnerated you, I'm asking you as the experienced Hunter."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Oh yeah, appeal to my ego now. 6He rolls his eyes before shaking hsi head slightly. It could jus tbe a coincidence, but that rarely happens. So one of us must've brought it.
<Xanatos> <Cole> I'm the likely candidate since I was the most recently infected.
01<DeathStar> 6* It seems strange they were not infected, then, hooked to the machines. Perhaps that explains the power being off.
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns at him for that leap. "If one of us was infected... jacking us into the system would have been catastrophic."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Well...doesn't really explain why we're okay now...unless Aya cut the power to save us?
<Seraphna> Anyata> "We need to find the others... they can't all have fallen, right?"
<Eluere> <Null> ..." 6She's quiet after reading the message, frowning and peering to the side.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "We should not worry about blame for now, there is no way we could have known if it was one of us. We will scan ourselves when we get the chance and apply a patch or something."
<Xanatos> <Cole> If this place got infected, we'll be lucky to get off this planet. 6He glances around then begins to move back towards the shuttle area.
<Seraphna> * Anyata follows him.
01<DeathStar> 6* AS they move, an ice shards flies past his head
01<DeathStar> <Female Voice> Freeze!
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns. "Ice... shards...?"
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks and pulls up his minigun, it whines slightly as it spools. That some kinda shitty joke!?
<Eluere> <Null> Master?
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Miss Iceheart? Is that you?"
01<DeathStar> 6* The figure pauses, then steps forward where their sensors can see them; Iceheart, along with Freyja and Chii, both dressed in battle armor, holding weapons in their hands. "Null? You're not infected then?"
01<DeathStar> 6* Freyja eyes Cole and slaps a paper symbol on his forehead; he finds his gun unable to spool
<Seraphna> Anyata> "We do not seem to be."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole eyes Freyja and pulls the paper symbol. Freeze? Really?
01<DeathStar> <Freyja> D-Do not mock me!
<Eluere> <Null> Master... you think I'm infected..?
01<DeathStar> 6* As Cole reaches for it, it explodes and knocks him back. She winces. "you can't touch that without it hurting you!"
01<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Not if you're calling me that. Then you all didn't get infected like the rest of the planet and the Bots?
01<DeathStar> 6* Freyja hurries over to help him up, bowing apologetically
<Seraphna> Anyata> "We were undergoing the upgrade process."
<Xanatos> <Cole> ... 6He eyes her like he might hit her but just grinds his teeth and gets to his feet. Where's the rest of our team?
<Seraphna> Anyata> "It seems it wasn't completed though... yes... is Aya alright? Ms. Katrina?"
<Eluere> <Chii> D-Don't threaten oneesama." 6She waves a finger at Cole
<Eluere> <Null> We seem okay, master.
<Xanatos> <Cole> You attacked at us first. Now will someone tell us where the rest of our team is and how long we've been out?
01<DeathStar> <ICeheart> Good, so you didn't get infected by the Maverick.
<Xanatos> <Cole> How did the virus even get here?! 6he throws up his hand, having so many questions.
01<DeathStar> 6* Freyja eyes Cole. "We thought you were more mavericks. How were we to know? I did say freeze!"
01<DeathStar> <Iceheart> You've all been on the planet for over a day.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "We... should endevour to find the others."
<Xanatos> <Cole> ...
01<DeathStar> <Iceheart> As for how the virus got here --- Wiendigo is a Maverick and has been manipulating everything since that time. It's why I had to get off the station to investigate. He had the entire thing bugged. I still barely made it off with these two.

03* Kaelan (gabby.crei@msmc-64-72-75-14.customer.hvdata.net) has joined #taw-classic
03* ChanServ sets mode: +o Kaelan
<@Kaelan> * A stuffed bear wearing a mage costume is slid onto Megumi's desk.
<Eluere> 6Megumi stares.
<@Kaelan> * It wiggles at her.
<Eluere> <Megumi> ...
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wind walks by and peers at her butt
<Eluere> 6Megumi looks around her desk
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wind leans over to tuch her butt and then hurries on
<Eluere> 6Megumi pauses, looking around
01<@DeathStar> 6* Wind sits behind his desk innocently
<@Kaelan> * A pair of eyes peek out from the doorway, upside down and looking like something clinging to the top of it. The doll wiggles it's butt at Wind.
Session Time: Sat Jan 08 00:00:00 2011
<@Kaelan> * The doll wiggles again.
01<@DeathStar> <Wind> Is that doll moving?
<@Kaelan> * It starts to dance on Megumi's desk.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Yes..
<@Kaelan> * It twirls around and prances neatly over papers.
01<@DeathStar> <Wind> That's odd
<@Kaelan> * It then plops down into Megumi's lap and sits limply. A normal plush doll.
<@Kaelan> * The doll does evil things while Megumi ignores it.
01<@DeathStar> <Wind> That's quite a naughty doll
<@Kaelan> * Elayne leans in a little more from the doorframee.
<@Seraphna> * The doll starts wiggling more in Megumi's lap.
