Classic Session 30

Session Start: Wed Aug 10 19:09:41 2011
Session Ident: #ClassSession30
<DeathStar> Date: A few hours after last Classic
<DeathStar> Location: Resistance Base
<DeathStar> 6* The group is together in a small room the Resistance provided; right now they are left alone, but aren't allowed to wander, as the Resistance tries to find out what happened to Zero, practically frantic over it like he was the only competant fighter. Here are the last few lines of the last session:
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Iceheart> Can you tell us what the hell is going on? <Ciel> Um. Yes. I will try.
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> Seraphna> "What? I call just about anyone Dear. Comes from being over a hundred and a mother of many."
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Iceheart> I'm about as old. Now, let the woman speak
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Ciel fidgets. "You see...the X you were meeting isn't the real X...he's a copy I made of the schematics I found on X. I feared your life may be in danger once he saw that XX there was related to the real X.
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> * Seraphna keeps working, giving Iceheart a scanadlized look.
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Aya> A ... Copy X?
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> Seraphna> "Why would you make a copy?"
<DeathStar> <Feather> <Null> Why wouldn't you make a copy of something amazing?
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Ciel> I made that X to protect us after the Elf Wars. The real X... well, it's a long story, but after Zero went missing and without an X to protect us in the wastes, the people needed a leader. So I made Copy X but... thing went wrong. He locked Neo Arcadia down and began to execute any reploid that dissented to protect the humans. He basically runs Neo Arcadia like a prison
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6 *Ciel looks ashamed. "But after you all appeared, something worse happened..."
<DeathStar> <Jackieness> <XX> "Explain."
<DeathStar> <Seraphna> Anyata> "Worse?"
<DeathStar> <Feather> <Null> We've only been here a few hours!
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Ciel brings up an image of something coming down from space toward Neo Arcadia, an old spaceship of sorts. "I wasn't the only one who detected you---Dr. Weil, the man responsible for the Elf Wars, was banished into space. After you all appeared in that time distortion, he began to descend toward Neo Aracadia. If he gets your hands on you, he might try to go back in time and change everything, for the worst. He wants to control all reploids and rule over humans. He's an descendant of Dr. Wily
<DeathStar> 6* And now on The Alien Wars 5 Classic...
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart checks over the repair work done on her, wearing only a silk shirt that is seethroughish, her body visible under it in certain lights. Katrina and Aya try to figure out who Dr. Weil is, looking over datapads they were given by Ceil to study what happened.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna taps on one, frowning. "Weil... anyone else think that name sounds a little familiar?"
<Jackieness> <XX> "No. But I am unfamiliar with many things."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A descandant of Dr. Wily; so this Weil is from Seraphna's family...
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> What happens if I kill all of Sera's family? Would he like vanish before our eyes?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Hah... great." *she shakes her head* "Not likely, I've already had a megion of children to carry on the line."
<Seraphna> *legion
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I would have to be thorough in annihilating them all for the experiment.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna eyes her.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart smiles
<Jackieness> <XX> "Uncover data on these Elf Wars and use it to prevent this event. I do not like this timeline. It annoys me."
<Kit> <Null> Find anything?" 6She looks over Aya's shoulder.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I suppose I could make it a family rule that we don't become insane scientists in the future. Or just spank this whippersnaper."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Nothing much; Weil's ancestory is mostly unknown other than the link to Wily. The Elf Wars destroyed most records, but there's conflicting reports; some say Zero defeated him, others X. Some say both. Then he was judged and sent to space.
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns a little. "IS this our Zero, or another one like X is a copy?"
<Jackieness> <XX> "Interrogate Zero for his account."
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and Ciel is there. "Um, do you all mind coming to the command center?"
<Seraphna> * Seraphna rises and stretches, yawning. "Sure..."
<Seraphna> *she poofs into a little dragon and flutters to Ciel's shoulder*
<Seraphna> * Anyata shakes her head and rises, moving to go.
<DeathStar> 6* Ciel blinks at that, looking surprised and touches Sera slowly. Suddenly a small reploid child grabs Seraphna and hugs her up to her chest like a doll
<Seraphna> * Seraphna squeaks and eeeps. "H-Hey now!"
<DeathStar> 6* The girl holds her so her legs are hanging down and is nuzzled under her chin; she walks for the command center. Iceheart seems amused, following after her, and so does Katrina and Aya. Ciel walks along
<DeathStar> <Ciel> We can't find Zero...we fear the worst...
<Jackieness> <XX> *turns and starts walking after Cielk to the command center*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Oh I'm sure he'll turn up. Dramatically to... say Ciel... you're awfully young for someone who's built reploids."
<DeathStar> 6* Ciel blinks and blushes. "I know...." 6* She steps in where all the reploids' faces brighten up at their young leader.
<Seraphna> * Anyata follows along, armor unsummoned at the moment.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "That genius run in the family by chance?"
<DeathStar> <Ciel> Um, my sister is very intelligent.
<Jackieness> <XX> "If she is another descendant, then I must insist upon your neutering."
<DeathStar> 6* On the view screen they can see what appears to be a fireball in the sky heading downward
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Hey!"
<Kit> <Null> I agree
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I am capable of turning into something that can devour you two."
<DeathStar> <Reploid Operator> Miss Ciel, Dr. Wiel's ship is only 5 minutes from reaching the surface; he appears to be heading to Area Zero, nearby. <Ciel> Why Area Zero...
<DeathStar> 6* The reploid child holds Seraphna tighter
<Seraphna> * Seraphna squeaks.
<Jackieness> <XX> "A portal may be located in that area."
<Seraphna> Anyata> "...It would not be good if he went to our time."
<DeathStar> <Ciel> That is the place the station crashed so long ago and decimated Earth..
<Kit> <Null> And... where you found Zero?
<Seraphna> Anyata> "...What station was that again?"
<Jackieness> <XX> "It is likely to be our station."
<DeathStar> <Ciel> Nearby, but the area itself is a crater with no life. The records don't say what station
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Remind me to make sure our station is even better protected in the future.
<DeathStar> <Ciel> Dr. Wiel will likely be coming after you since you come from the past. <Katrina> The portal home still hasn't reopened..
<Jackieness> <XX> "The irony would be wasted otherwise."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "So we clobber this deviant decendant of mine and go home."
<Jackieness> <XX> "What are the capabilities of this Dr. Wiel?"
<Kit> <Null> That would be rather good to know. He's a "doctor" for one.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Further, will Fake X be incited into any action y Weil's approach?"
<DeathStar> <Ciel> We odn't know...it's been so long. But he has Omega with him.
<DeathStar> <Ciel> Copy X will likely obey Dr. Wiel.... <Iceheart> Perfect.
<DeathStar> 6* The name Omega seems to make other reploids uneasy
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "...Omega?"
<Jackieness> <XX> "Who is Omega? And why will copy X obey this doctor?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "It's a Wily tradition to take control of other people's robots and misuse them. Should I be proud or annoyed?"
<DeathStar> <Ciel> Omega is a reploid that Dr. Wiel made... he is said to be capable of bringing about the end of the world - Ragnarok. He destroyed X's true body according to some accounts, though we're not sure.
<DeathStar> <Ciel> And Dr. Wiel once was in charge of Neo Arcadia before the Elf Wars.
<Kit> <Null> So it's a powerful reploid?
<DeathStar> <Ciel> Yes, Miss. Null
<DeathStar> <Reploid Operator> Dr. Wiel's ship has landed; reports say that a convoy from Neo Arcadia has gone toward the location. <Ciel> I can teleport you all close by if you want to face this...
<Seraphna> Anyata> "It seems we will have quite a battle on our hands... are we able to stand against reploids generations ahead of us?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Do we really have a choice?"
<DeathStar> 6* The reploid child keeps snuggling Seraphna
<DeathStar> <Ciel> I can try to upgrade you as best I can before you go, if you trust me.
<DeathStar> <Ciel> But a lot of our parts are old compared to Neo Arcadia
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Probably still better than what we have
<Seraphna> Anyata> "You appears to be trustworthy. I assure you we are older."
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> Aya and I will help her and make sure nothing goes wrong
<Seraphna> * Seraphna huffs a bit. "Well, I should phrase that in I might not have a choice, this kid is squeezing the life out of me."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I-I can help too... I think."
<DeathStar> 6* The girl doesn't loosen her grip
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "H-Hey, sweetie? D-Do you need a doll or something?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I noticed you have a reploid child... curiously, does she get older or was she made that way? <Ciel> She slowly ages. A long time ago reploids found the way to have children, through a long process.
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina and Aya glance over at XX
<DeathStar> <Girl> You're my new doll. Your name will be .... Bright Eyes.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Do not look at me."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I-I'm Sera McCormick...!"
<DeathStar> <Girl> Bright eyes. 6* She walks off with her. Iceheart motions for the upgrades to begin
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* When the reploids who underwent the operation come back online, the room is dark except for sparks from a damaged terminal nearby. Anyata, Null, Iceheart, and XX are together in capsules that have been hidden it seems behind a fake wall
<Kit> <Null> I-I'm being upgraded again? Am I compatible?
<Seraphna> * Anyata opens her eyes, frowning. "What happened...?"
<Jackieness> <XX> "We must assume that the rebel base was attacked."
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Ms. Aya, Katrina and Seraphna may be in danger then."
<Kit> 6Null pauses, peering out. She punches through the glass and starts to crawl out.
<Seraphna> * Anyata starts getting out of her capsule too.
<DeathStar> 6* There's the smell of death in the air, on the other side of the fake wall. The wall controls seems to be offline
<Kit> 6Null forms her saber and slashes through it in a quick Z-horizontal and kicks through. 1"C-lady..!?"
<Seraphna> Anyata> "We... must find out what has happened." *she peers at the wall*
<Jackieness> <XX> "Free the rest of us."
<Seraphna> * ANyata opens Iceheart's and XX's capsules.
<Jackieness> <XX> *steps out of the pod*
<DeathStar> 6* The wall is cut open easily
<DeathStar> 6* Icheaert steps out after Anyata awakens her, groggy
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Report.
<DeathStar> 6* On the other side of the wall is the lab, where dead reploids lay about in puddles of battery fluid. However, there is human blood on one console, but no body
<Seraphna> Anyata> "It appears the base has been attacked..."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Looks like Wiel got here.
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns and moves over, using a scanner on the blood.
<DeathStar> 6* The blood type matches KAtrina's.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Or Copy X."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> We need to find the teleporter room and get ourselves to Area Zero it seems
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns. "Katrina was bleeding here..."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> They probably took her alive, since she's from the past. But it won't stay that way if we dont' gcatch up. I have a beacon on her, when we get close Aya and Katrina and Seraphna will both bloop. Here, let me show you.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart hits a button and one signature begins to bloop indicating proxmity
<Kit> <Null> Someone's still here.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Human or reploid?"
<Seraphna> * Anyata raises a brow.
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> Seraphna is here.
<Jackieness> <XX> "It makes sense as she can change her form to a degree."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart begins to follow the signature out into the hallway and down it, passing dead bodies
<Seraphna> * Anyata peers about, trying to find her. She follows Iceheart.
<Jackieness> <XX> *follows after Iceheart*
<DeathStar> 6* ICeheart stops outside a room with stickers on it, like a child's room, and tries to open it but the lack of power keeps the door shut
<Jackieness> <XX> "Null, cut it open."
<Seraphna> Anyata> "She was watching over the child. Ciel may have sealed them in here."
<Kit> 6Null nods to XX and dashes forward slashing rapidly with her saber.
<DeathStar> 6* The door falls open, Null's sabre upgraded. Before it only had 1 bar in the menu out of 7, now it has three
<DeathStar> 6* Inside they'd find tons of stuffed animals and dolls; one perched in the room looks like a little girl doll holding a little dragon doll.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "...Clever."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Very."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart stops the beeping. "Not bad."
<DeathStar> 6* The girl eyes them, standing up slowly. "I-Is everyone okay?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Have you seen the others...? Where's Kat and Aya?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> We don't know; everyone appears to be in bad shape here.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Can you lead us to the teleporter? 6* She asks the little girl, who nods and c arries Seraphna out of the room and down the hallway; she looks sadly at the dead
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Don't look sweetie..."
<Seraphna> * Anyata follows, frowning. "How did they find them so easily...?"
<Kit> <Null> Sweet. And I still have capacity!
<DeathStar> 6* The girl closes her eyes, tears running down her face. With her blonde hair, she looks like she could be descended from XX
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart eyes Null saying sweet while they walk along the dead and points at the girl crying
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Shhh... don't cry sweetie..."
<Kit> <Null> ... Oh.
<Seraphna> * Anyata pets her hair. Seraphna nuzzles her comfortingly.
<Jackieness> <XX> "...I am still not comfortable with this future."
<DeathStar> 6* The blonde girl gets them to the teleporter room after a brief delay and they find it i running on generators with the coordinates inputed for two locations: ARea Zero and Neo Arcardia. Perhaps since Ciel didn't know where Wiel would remain or if the group would want to try to get advance tech in the city or weed out the guardians first
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Who is?
<Jackieness> <XX> "Make a decision. Where are we bound to?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Either choice presents problems. 6* The girl walks over to a terminal and sits, beginning to talk as she looks
<Kit> <Null> We should go after Weil
<DeathStar> <Girl> It seems your friends were split up; the younger one was taken to Neo Arcadia to be interrogated while the older one was taken to Wiel's ship. There's been reports of Zero in Neo Arcadia
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Zero would probably make things useful, but if Wiel gets information out of Katrina's mind we're boned
<Seraphna> * Seraphna thinks. "It's possible Zero may even save Aya. Katrina has no support."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> So we're in agreement; Area Zero
<Seraphna> Anyata> "What about this girl?"
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers up at her.
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> What about her? We can't take a reploid child into combat.
<DeathStar> 6* The girl clutches Seraphna tightly
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Will you be alright here alone dear...? I have to go help save the others."
<Jackieness> <XX> "She refers to the wisdom of leaving her here alone."
<DeathStar> 6* The girl sniffles but lets Seraphna go, peering out at the hall of the dead bodies
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns, forming into a human and hugging the girl.
<Kit> <Null> Someone should take her to Neo Arcadia
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Maybe I should wait here... or do that."
<DeathStar> 6* The girl blinks at Seraphna being here.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> And if they kill her in Neo Arcadia?
<Jackieness> <XX> "Seraphna, she is affectionate for you. You should remain her guardian."
<Kit> <Null> I don't think they will...
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We could wait here. If I can get the consoles back online I can act as your operator for the mission."
<Kit> <Null> At least not if it's one of the Guardians. She's not really a combatant. But you really want to leave her in a deadpool?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "THen again, if Weil's security is DNA based, I might be a skeleton key. So many choices."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Seraphna, you stay here; if we need you, we'll bring you in. Until then you do what you think is best to protect the child
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart steps onto the teleporter pad
<Seraphna> * Seraphna nods. "I'll try to get some sort of C&C set up here... I'm sure a mad scientist with all these parts can hook up something."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I have a feeling this might be the safest place, the enemy thinks it's wiped out."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Good; send us off to A. Zero once Null, Anya, and XX are on
<Jackieness> <XX> *steps onto the teleporter*
<Seraphna> * Anyata steps on.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I'll use the little package I installed in Anyata to try and track you for now."
<Seraphna> * Anyata blinks. "Wh-what package!?"
<Jackieness> <XX> "It is best not to dwell upon it."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Shhh. Just be ready."
<Kit> 6Null puts her sbaer away and gets onto the pad.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Better you than me. 6* She tells Anya.
<Seraphna> * ANya huffs.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sends them to A. Zero after Null gets on, that being the last of them. "Good luck."
<DeathStar> 6* They appear in what appears to be a crater edge, but with how much damage they are hidden behind rocks and mountains humps and hills. Down in the center is a large ship complex, with Neo Arcadia troops about. Phantom (played by Kit) is down there, guarding the entrance into the ship. Though there might be another way in, such as an exhaust port
<Seraphna> * Anyata peers around, blinking as she taps her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart peers over a small hill, eyeing the ship. She taps her comm. "Yo useeing what I'm seeing, Seraphna?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Yep, I got a visual from Anyata and a nice scan going on."
<Kit> 6Phantom is clearly a ninja model, his outward appearance mimicking old shinobi garb and carrying a large fuuma shuriken on his back.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Find me another way into that ship that doesn't go past that weird ninja
<Kit> <Null> Think he's tough?
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Even if he isn't, if we fight him, how many henchmen will descend on us?
<Jackieness> <XX> "He is standing out in the open. Any battle with him will result in us being overrun."
<Kit> <Null> As many as we cut down
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "...Got it, detecting exhaust ports. I'm sending coordinates now."
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Mmm..." *she relays the positonal data to the others*
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart checks her wristpad then begins to circle around to avoid being seen, heading to the back of the ship
<Seraphna> * Anyata moves with Iceheart.
<Kit> 6Null shuffles after the two, eyeing the ninja.
<DeathStar> 6* No doubt that ninja would give huge level ups if he was beaten
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves toward the indicated port, shadowing XX*
<Jackieness> * Iceheart
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart creeps along, eyeing a single one eyed X bot thing guarding the path; his back ot them. "Take him out silently."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sends them schematics from what they learned of the other bots, giving a weak point outline.
<DeathStar> 6* One good slash will likely take it out
<Jackieness> <XX> *then looks at Null, who is best equipped to do the lashing*
<Kit> <Null> Alright..." 6She takes her saber out and activates it, crouches, then lunges to try and stab it through the center of the back of th ehead.
<Seraphna> * ANyata pauses, having been about to speed slash, she lets Null go ahead.
<DeathStar> 6* The robot jerks and booms quietly, dropping an energy pellet
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart moves along and reaches the exhaust port, which is firmly sealed with a grate
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "You can probably slice open the grate. Pulling won't help I think unless one of you is as strong as Cole was thick."
<Jackieness> <XX> *continues on to the exhaust port*
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart slips out her ice shards and digs them into key points on the grate, then applies pressure to pry part of it open
<Seraphna> * Anyata leans in to help pull the pried part up.
<Kit> <Null> Master's smart, not strong.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart slips in; it's warm inside, since this is where the engine exhaust comes out during travel. Iceheart makes a face, shifting her armor off to keep cool, wearing practically nothing but an icy layer that covers her nipples and sex area and some of her rear. She walks along like an ice queen
<Seraphna> * Anyata slips in after her and moves along.
<Jackieness> <XX> *climbs in as well*
<DeathStar> 6* As they walk, they come to an upward curve that leads straight up with no discernable grip points. Iceheart begins to make ice shard and drives them into the metal and climbs up slowly leaving them behind for the others; it's clear she's using a lot of energy and the heat is slowly melting the ice shards, meaning the others msut hurry. Prepare for a GROUP OG.
<DeathStar> PREPARE. PREPARE. ALARM ALARM. WARNING. WARNING
<Kit> <Null> The hell?
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Up, Up, Left, Up, Right, Up, Left, Left, Up, Up, Up, Right, Up, Up
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<Kit> dddrdldrrdddldd
<DeathStar> 3
<Seraphna> dddrdldrrdddldd
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart, Anyata, and Null make it to the top of the shaft, but XX is left below as the shards melt; Iceheart looks unable to go back down and remake them for her to climb. How will XX climb up the tube?!
<Kit> <Null> Hey, XX, stand back a second.
<Jackieness> <XX> *steps back*
<Kit> <Null> Alright..." 6She pulls out her revolver.
<Kit> 6Null takes aim, then fires the six shells after charging in between each to a lv1, making divets good enough to use as foot and hand holds. She ejects the shells clattering down the shaft.
<Kit> <Null> You can wall hike, right?!
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Not bad. Good girl, Null.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Wall hike?"
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart nods approvingly
<Seraphna> Anyata> "You have earned a Null Treat."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I believe you got the chip to do it on Aya's coin
<Jackieness> <XX> *starts to climb up the shaft*
<DeathStar> 6* Once XX makes it up, Iceheart pats her on the back and nods. "Yo udid good, too." 6* She move salong the tunnel and they reach another grate; after smashing it open they land in engineering of the ship
<Kit> <Null> Making good ground..
<Jackieness> <XX> "Where to next?"
<Seraphna> Anyata> Hrm... Sera?
<Seraphna> * Sera works to get readouts from Anyata to give them a map.
<Kit> <Null> I can teach you to wall hike later if you need, XX
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> We'll have to find Katrina. Lets look for a torture area.
<Jackieness> <XX> "I will hold you to that once we have escaped from the current situation."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart moves along; no one is in engineering but as they move near the exit they find an area where a huge ass capsule was at for a large reploid, and the amount of cables taht run into the empty capsule indicate it ate a lot of eenrgy
<Seraphna> Anyata> "That can't be good."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "It's not, expect a large, powerful reploid."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Likely it is this Omega."
