<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
* Jackieness has joined #ClassSession46
<DeathStar> 6* It was getting into night on the west coast of the North American Continent by the time the team left on the date of 7.24, and as they pass the ocean, dropping off the little girl () at one of the key points to get supplies and and re-energize as the medical teams work on them, they arrive at the City of London, where they know the other device created by Uplink went, though there's been no word that the people have gotten below deck. It is darker here still, with morning a few hours off at this point, but coming rapidly, as the shuttle lands on a pad
<Seraphna> * SEraphna yawns. "Well... I don't trust it. They have to have a plan if they deployed the devices here."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart tiredly steps off the shuttle; there's been no word if Teddy lives or not. Atay walks off after her. A British man stands there smoking a pipe as he waits for them
<Seraphna> * Anyata walks with Atay, a replacement leg in place.
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ stretches, walking with Seraphna, looking over at Anyata
<DeathStar> 6* The British guy walks over, smoking a fag.
<Jackieness> <XX> *steps off the shuttle as well.
<DeathStar> <British> What's the password? <Iceheart> Fuck off. <British Guy> I guess that works.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna looks the British Guy over. "And you are?"
<DeathStar> 6* Pope shrugs taking a drag so his face is illuminated.
<kalonZombie> <Æ> ...Iceheart is awesome.
<DeathStar> <Pope> Right now we have triple the guard on all the staircases down to the pillars below, but there's always a way to shimmy down into a hole. 6* He waggles his eyes at Sera.
<DeathStar> 6* Pope finishes his drag and flicks the cig away.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Good to see you too."
<Jackieness> <XX> "The last one had a goosestepper hanging around. This one could have one too."
<DeathStar> <Pope> Aye aye. From my time in the Column I can tell ye gits this: you--- 6* He suddenly jerks when his chest explodes in bloody from a sniper shot
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Perhaps something that can crawl underneath the structure on the ceiling? Or teleportation that's spot on..."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart jerks her gaze toward a nearby British building where a figure is already moving out of sight
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "...Ever the cameo appearance." *she growls and jerks down, grabbing his leg and pulling him to them, Anyata firing at the sniper positon*
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ activates his spear, despite his tiredness, and looks around for the sniper
<Seraphna> * Seraphna puts her hand on his chest and starts using a power that's normally Elayne's area, Lunarian healing. "Don't die on me today buddy."
<DeathStar> 6* Atay rusheas toward the building
<Seraphna> * Anyata rushes with her.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We need to expect the attack to already be underway." *she says, focusing on Pope*
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart growls and looks around as she forms her ice shards, moving to feel about Pope's pockets, grabbing some papers, a condom, gil, and a datapad, and pockets them before following. Atay begins to climb a fire escape
<DeathStar> 6* Pope groans something about bloody ponces always getting him killed before his eyes roll into his head
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ moves with Anyata and Atay
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pulls Pope into the shuttle and sets him on a bed, putting a nanopatch on his chest, hoping it's enough before moving after the others, she has the shuttle closed and tells Warren to pull it out.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna drags XX with her as a shield.
<Jackieness> <XX> *is pulled along with Sera*
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle flies out on autopilot.
<DeathStar> NRP: *It's then rocket launchered*
<Seraphna> NRP: Sera> POpe, always dedicated to getting murdered horribly.
<DeathStar> 6* AS they reach the roof, they see the sniper, far ahead, leaping off the side of a building 6 paces ahead into a crowded pub area of drunk British people
<DeathStar> (They being the first grouip, ot Sera/XX)
<Seraphna> * Anyata hits her Speed+ and bursts after the sniper to try and catch up.
* AquaKoala has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* AquaKoala has joined #ClassSession46
<kalonZombie> 6*As does Æ, who had that before we went level-less
<DeathStar> 6* Atay speeds up and leaps over the side - and they all crash into the drunk British people below, causing a massive mess, knocking liqour barrells and whatnot over. Iceheart peers over as Sera and XX catch up on the roof
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "You know this is a distraction, right?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart begins to study the datapad.
<Jackieness> <XX> "So what shall we do for the REAL mission?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Password encrypted.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns. "I can try to crack it, but I'll need some time."
<Seraphna> * Anyata grumbles and pulls herself up, looking for the sniper.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Then it would be good to get started, yes?"
<Seraphna> * Seraphna holds out a hand.
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ gets up slowly, looking around as well
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart turns it over, then eyes the paper, tossing the condon to the side
<DeathStar> 6* Atay adjusts herself; the sniper has vanished, the crowd of people, despite it being early morning, great. The drunk British populace tip their hats, greeting the group jovially.
<Jackieness> <XX> *eyes the condom* "Someone certainly believed that he would be lucky."
<DeathStar> 6* It's very big.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna starts working on cracking the password using her own decrypting datapad.
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns. "He's gone."
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Shit, where did he go?
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> He spent a lot of time in a pub - The Pub That Faces Big Ben's Big Ben
<DeathStar> <Atay> He's good
<Seraphna> Seraphna> That a sexual crack?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> PRobably.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Undoubtedly"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I would say he meant the face of the clock, but it has four faces."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Big Ben is a bell, not the clock it hangs from."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart flips through more papers. "Some notes in terrible handwriting. 3rd 10 2nd R 12th
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Probably had the whole thing planned out.
<DeathStar> 6* Atay climbs back up to join the others, off put
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ follows her
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Is that shorthand or code?" *she keeps working as Anyata climbs up too*
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> No idea; lets find out if this pub exists. 6* She grabs her datapad. "Seems so. Lets go while you crack it. You kids ready?"
<Seraphna> Anyata> "I'm ready."
<kalonZombie> <Æ> I was built ready.
<DeathStar> -SPinning Teddy-
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Mmm. Lead the way.
<Jackieness> <XX> "I'm tried of waiting around."
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive outside a two table, one room pub that smells funky, facing Big Ben far, far, far in the distance. Located on 3rd street and tucked away.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "That explains the first number on the sheet."
<Jackieness> <XX> "What is the time?"
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart frowns, peering, nearby is 2nd street, a stone's throw away
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> 5 Standard Time
<Jackieness> <XX> "Hmmm... my thought is the 10 is either meant as a time or a distance."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart stands there on the street corner, eyeing vehicles go by
<DeathStar> 6* She peers down, couting 10 paces where a manhole
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I forget, is Earth's Standard Time still Grenwich Mean Time or did it go to the West Coast?"
<Seraphna> (East Coast)
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers down at it, tilting her head. "Sewers, great."
<kalonZombie> <Æ> There's a manhole at least... 6*He says, albiet a bit slowly, considering last time he went down to the sewers
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart motions. "So, think that's what it meant?"
<Jackieness> <XX> "So 10 paces from the corner of 2nd and 3rd streets."
<Seraphna> "THen all we need is 2nd, R, and 12th."
<DeathStar> 6* Atay shrugs, moves out into the middle of traffic, making vehicles slam on breaks, opens it up and leans down below.
<kalonZombie> <Æ> 2nd is the other street mom.
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ blinks and moves with Atay
<Seraphna> * Anyata sighs, moving after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart pauses as a rocket begins to fly in at that when suddenly a large bear like figure grabs it and throws it back, glowing Fabio like hair seen and a girl riding his shoulder
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Mmm. It appears Mark 2 was launchable."
<DeathStar> 6* The rocket launcher sniper is blown u p by his own rocket and all evidence.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Maybe the R meant Rocket, and if so, fuck Pope for not telling us he was psychic."
<DeathStar> 6* The girl, the one Teddy saved, is on his shoulder, hugging the repaired bear, who seems to be a twitchy and damaged. "Teddy is a hero1"
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Cassandra? What are you doing here?
<Jackieness> <XX> "He does not seem to be in a fully repaired state."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I'll work on him when I'm done with this. Let's go into the sewers now where I'm sure there will not be crocodiles."
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra waves. "The repair team said something that I needed to sit on his shoulder holding this button or Teddy would deactivate." 6* She holds up a device.
<kalonZombie> <Æ> ...What's with the hair? 6*He asks Sera
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "No clue."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna heads for the sewer grate, stopping to be sure no one runs her over.
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ, meanwhile, heads there as well, giving about as much attention to traffic as Atay did, though he does follow after Sera so there's that
<DeathStar> 6* The flaming wreckage in the background has caused some people to eye them and comm the police. Sirens are heard as the uptight London Police are called in
<Jackieness> <XX> *heads for the grate as well* "Is there a 12th street?"
<AquaKoala> *Teddy hugs the girl back
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Likely in the direction opposite 2nd."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna slides in, moving aside for others.
<Jackieness> <XX> 8moves down through the manhole*
<DeathStar> 6* Atay is already out of sight below. Iceheart peers about, waiting for the others as she eyes people. One person walks up to make a citizen's arrest.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy goes down carefully, guarding Cassandra
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ comes down as well, moving by Sera "Last time I went in a sewer, my brother got Fabio hair...
<Seraphna> * Anyata has gone ahead with Atay.
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Teddy like the hair!
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra hugs onto Teddy's shoulder/head area as they enter the dark sewers. Iceheart climbs down and slides the manhole cover shut after forcing Teddy down when he gets stuck
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ chuckles
<Feather> 6Iceheart's comm beeps.
<DeathStar> 6* Once in the sewers, the comm signal doesn't work as well
<Seraphna> * SEraphna frowns, pulling on a HUD over her eye and checking on Anyata's location as she continues her work on the datapad. She moves along towards 12th, if that's the way they went.
<Feather> 6Iceheart's comm doesn't beep then.
<DeathStar> 6* It's a straight path, and neither forward or back leads directly toward 12th, though straight ahead leads a bit in that direction. Iceheart walks along the paths on the side that isn't in the liquid
<Jackieness> <XX> "There was also an R... possibly stay to the right?"
<AquaKoala> *Teddy follows after her, looking about alertly
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sticks on the paths as well.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Good thinking, XX."
<kalonZombie> >Æ> Why couldn't he just... write that? 6*He says, following Sera
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart keeps her ice shards ready as they walk along
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Enemy hands
<AquaKoala> Teddy> To simple code, probably prying eyes from civilians
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Makes sense, I guess.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Pope's a veteran, he doesn't leave things to chance. Though I wonder how he got noticed."
<DeathStar> 6* As they move along, they soon come to a T intersection
* Jackieness has joined #ClassSession46
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I say we keep on the 'R' idea and go right."
<DeathStar> 6* With a right path being the other part of the T
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Makes most sense
<Jackieness> <XX> "And there is the right."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna checks on the girls ahead again.
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> I don't like it down here. 6* She recalls being trapped, holding Teddy
<DeathStar> 6* She quivers
<kalonZombie> <Æ> It's okay Cassandra, we'll keep you safe.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We'll be out soon sweetie."
<DeathStar> 6* Atay is much further ahead.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Seems Atay's on track too. And Anyata for that matter." *she heads right*
<AquaKoala> *Teddy hugs her comfortingly "Teddy will protect little sister Cassandra"
<Jackieness> <XX> *heads down to the right*
<AquaKoala> *Teddy follows after them
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I've adopted again?"
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Seems that way.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna taps datapad, moving along.
<DeathStar> 6* Soon they catch up to Atay, who studies a datapad
<DeathStar> <Atay> ... we are under 12
<DeathStar> 6* She looks up, then down. The only thing unusual is a square outline on the side walking area with a tiny hatch
<kalonZombie> <Æ> So... something here then...
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Perhas a device."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Be cautious."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Or a trap."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart hmmms, then motions Ash to lift it
<kalonZombie> 6(Æ nods, moving over and lifts it carefully
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra closes her eyes as she holds onto Teddy
<DeathStar> 6* A ladder is visible, leading down to the under belly and pillars that support the floating city of London
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Goddamn
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Soon as we get down there we should probably put out an alert on other possible breaches."
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna's datapad decoder beeps on decoding Pope's decoder.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers down at it.
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Blowing up pillars will sink city, must be carefull.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "I hate this place."
<Jackieness> <XX> "What does it say?"
<kalonZombie> <Æ> I share the sentiment, ANtaya.
<kalonZombie> *Anyata
<DeathStar> 6* It seems they plan to blow a key pillar under Big Ben, and one on top of Big Ben, to cause a massive reaction to drop out the center of the city to make a shockwave to cause a sinkhole that spreads out
<DeathStar> <Atay> ...
<Seraphna> SEraphna> "We have two targets, the pillars above and below Big Ben."
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Alright then, we split up or we take one at a time?
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Should split up, they could blow one once they lose one.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "That's the call of our fearless leader."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart considers
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Do we have enough to take out both. Does it say when they plan to do it?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Technically one minimizes the damage and stops total destruction. The shockwave won't be strong enough. However, both will save lives."
<DeathStar> 6* She peers at the data - the data is sketchy, anywhere from the next hour to next two
<Seraphna> * Seraphna looks for the time.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "In the next hour or two hours."
<kalonZombie> <Æ> One hour, two pillars... we can totally pull this off.
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Teddy know we can!
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We could signal Warren and hope he handles the top one while we go below. Or try and cowboy up both."
<Jackieness> <XX> "What is the call then?"
<kalonZombie> <Æ> As much as I want to cowboy up, the smart move would be to try and signal Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart eyes the two, shaking her head. "My comm is fizzled out."
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Teddy is cowboy then?
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I'll take the bottom one with Atay and Anya. The rest of you take the top one under Sera. Save Big Ben.
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Yes sir.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Alright then. No crazy heroics."
<Seraphna> * Anyata nods and shifts to head down.
<DeathStar> 6* Atay follows
<Seraphna> * Seraphna goes to the ladder that leads up.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Let's go then."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna checks for traps, then starts climbing. "XX, Teddy, Ash, let's go then."
<DeathStar> -Spinning TAW Logo-
<DeathStar> 6* As they reach the streets, they can see Big Ben 1 mile away in the distance, majestic and big. Cassandra's mouth goes :O shaped.
<DeathStar> 6* Comms seem to be semi-working again
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Ash, see the palace that's connected to Ben?"
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Yeah.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I want us on it."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy drops to all fours, moving Cass to his back
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ nods, grabbing onto Teddy and Sera "Someone hold onto XX
<Seraphna> * Seraphna grabs XX's ass.
<Jackieness> <XX> "My hand is here."
<kalonZombie> <Æ> ...Damn, why didn't I think of that? 6*He says, teleporting to Big Ben
<DeathStar> 6* Ash only teleports 1 block away from it
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "This has better gripping oppurtunities." *she watches the comm channels for now, waiting to call in backup*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Mmm... looks like the inhibitors are already up. We'll have to go the long way."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy moves towards it quickly
<Jackieness> <XX> *starts moving forward* "Then start walking."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves along, letting Teddy work like a crowd control, clearing their way.
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ hops on top of Teddy, riding him like a mount, holding onto Cass
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Walk? We have an hour to go a little under a mile, run."
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra peers about as she holds the button in to run Teddy
<DeathStar> 6* British people, as morning light begins to come in, stare at the giant robot bear staring. Even other reploid workers
<DeathStar> <Reploid Gent> I say chap, did you see that? <Reploid Gent> Must be that time of the yeart.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy roars loudly, clearing the way
<Seraphna> * Seraphna considers, then leaps up, putting a top hat on Teddy.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "There, now you're an old chap."
<DeathStar> 6* British police, with their night sticks, move to intercept Teddy. "I say bear!"
<Seraphna> * Seraphna holds out her ID. "EarthGov, mind moving aside?"
<Jackieness> <XX> "Then why aren't we running now?"
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ pulls a top hat and monocle out of sub-soace and puts them on
<AquaKoala> *Teddy roars happily
<Seraphna> * Seraphna must have left XX behind if she's not running.
<DeathStar> 6* The police hold out their hands to take the ID to scan it, holding them up to scan it unless Teddy plans to run them over
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Teddy, keep moving."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy continues rushing, trying not to hurt them
<DeathStar> 6* Teddy runs the police over.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Please." *resumes moving forward*
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra gasps. The police tap the button to alert the London State Army. Alarms begin to go off.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sighs and shrugs, moving along. She comms Warren to do some crontrol.
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Man I can't wait until we run into something so shocking it makes me lose my monocle.
<AquaKoala> Teddy>Brother being silly, not good time for silly.
<DeathStar> 6* As they arrive at the base of the Big Ben area, the British Army with large weaponary begin to gather and take aim. Warren, meanwhile, tries to OD on drugs
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> What will Superhero Teddy do now?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sighs and eyes them. She holds out her ID again. "Aim that shit elsewhere before I aim it for you."
<DeathStar> 6* Sera has no ID; the police took it to scan
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ rolls his eyes and pulls his out from subspace
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "XX, give them yours."
<DeathStar> 6* The military begin to take aim, ordering them to surrender and to lay on the ground with their hands on their head.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "If they were idiots to retain it and then not check it... gah."
<Jackieness> <XX> *pulls out her ID and holds it out* "We are here to stop a terrorist threat."
<DeathStar> <Military POlice> ON THE GROUND WITH YOUR HANDS ON YOUR HEAD!
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Terrorists trying to destroy Clock Tower! and then all of London! Should evcuate area immediately! *Teddy gets down
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *eyebrow twitches, annoyed at the seeming railroad of moronics and gets down*
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ sighs, getting down as well
<Jackieness> <XX> "...fine." *lays down as well*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Stand down, they want thier city to burn it's on their own heads now. They should have checked."
<Jackieness> <XX> "The bear did stomp on those constables."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Yet they kept my ID and never checked it."
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Teddy listen to mother.
<DeathStar> 6* The military police, about 30 officers, advance with their weapons and proper mustaches. They speak. "Interrupting our tea time for this." 6* They seem quite irate as they move and begin to handcuff them, moving Cass off Teddy who shuts down. Cassandra begins to cry as they hold her off to the side. The officer takes the ID from XX and hands it off to be scanned
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "After this I want the name of your commander in charge here."
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ keeps his smart mouth to himself about "tea time"
<Jackieness> <XX> "Hope Iceheart is having better luck than this..."
<DeathStar> <Officer 1> This is the bear that knocked out the officers. 6* They say, pointing at the reploid. They study him as the scan chimes and they look at XX's creds. They peer toward her. "And why are you running down officers and knocking them out?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Because there's a bomb being set on the pillar above Big Ben and we don't have time for this."
<DeathStar> 6* They pointedly ignore Seraphna
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra sobs, struggling to reach Teddy. "Superhero Teddy, wake up1 We have to beat up the bad guys."
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Bomb. Pillar. Less than an hour. We don't have time for this.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna's eyes glow a little. "Cassandra, relax, he'll wake up in a moment."
<Jackieness> <XX> "...we'll explain later. We need to get up there. Please have your officers keep an eye out for anyone susicious.. who is not us."
<DeathStar> 6* A second chime goes off and the officer looks. "It was verified by a Warren Carmichael, General. It seems to be legit. Alright, the ID is not fake." 6* He seems satisfied now, apparantly running a verification scan as well to amke sure it wasn't forged and uncuffs them and puts Cass back on teddy, who hits the button to wake him back up
<DeathStar> <Officer> Good luck. Top of the day.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy looks about and gets up
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Guard the tower, we'll need to get up there fast."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy rushes for it
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ gets back on top of Teddy before he does so
<Seraphna> * Seraphna grumbles and moves after them, looking like she's about to snap necks.
<DeathStar> 6* Military Officers tip their hats at them as they move to the doors of Big Ben, which now has been installed with a futuristic elevator pad
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Mom, save that aggression for the bad guys.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a tray for tea and biscuits inside
<AquaKoala> *Teddy gets onto the pad, waiting for everyone to get on
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "They point so much as a water gun at me again and I'm going to eat someone."
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ's eyes dart and he takes a biscuit and puts it in subspace for later
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves for the pad.
<DeathStar> 6* Once all are on, the pad begins to move up rapidly like in a MMX game
<Jackieness> <XX> "It is your doing that they were provoked."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna growls a little, her teeth seem sharper and her hands more clawlike. "It's their doing that they didn't fucking check my ID after we left them behind. THen sent the damn army here. At any rate, it worked."
<DeathStar> 6* As the pad slows down near the top, it suddenly stops before reaching the top on a maintenaince deck, a light blinking, suspiciously, then begins to move again
<kalonZombie> <Æ> ...What was that?
<Jackieness> <XX> "Check the computer system."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Something's been done to it. We may have to get out."
<AquaKoala> Teddy>..was bomb?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pulls out her datapad and scans.
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> ...
<DeathStar> 6* There's nothing on the elevator. IT reaches the top area.
<Jackieness> <XX> *looks up to see if there is a maintenance hatch in the ceiling*
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ pulls his spear out and activates it.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers out when it reaches the top, "Teddy, out front, XX, Ash, check the top."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy stands up on his hind legs, having Cass grab around his neck
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves out and up to check the top*
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ follows her
<AquaKoala> *Teddy heads out through the front, looking about
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves behind him.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Ash, if there's any surprises, grab XX and teleport right by us."
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Aren't there inhibitors up?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "You got a block going a mile, compensate."
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Right... got it.
<DeathStar> 6* The area has changed a lot from the past, with gears moving about futuristically, turning and churning, giant sized and floating about like something out of a MMX game. Clinking and turning and grabbable, with the face of Big Ben visible with the hands
<Seraphna> * Seraphna scans, looking for where the bomb might be. "We could really use an operator..."
<Jackieness> <XX> *searches with Ash in the meantime.
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ has ditched the tophat and monocle, taking the job seriously now
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra peers about curiously. So far the scans aren't picking up the devices, which their scannners are firmly attuned to. There appears to be nothing in this area. Strange.
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Teddy see nothing
<DeathStar> 6* Just the faintest, faintest signal but it's hard to tell where from. Somewhere in Big Ben, but where.
<DeathStar> 6* The hands are nearing the next hour. 10 mins
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Above the tower itself?" *she frowns and peers up* "We need to get closer." *she comms again* "We need scanning assistance. 10 minutes."
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Maybe the light was the bomb, may be in maintenance area?
<DeathStar> 6* The comm is crackly again, but she is able to get through somewhat. Warren says something back, but it's mostly broken up
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Comms not getting through, over."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's response is crackled.
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Superhero Teddy should go find out and defeat it
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sets her datapad inside a slot on Teddy, using him as an augment, to widen it's range. "Let's get moving."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy moves about "Teddy will little sister Cassandra"
<DeathStar> 6* The b ig hands move. 8 mins
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pulls out another scanner and poofs into a small dragon, starting to fly about, careful of gears, trying to get a lock. "XX, Ash, you could be helping."
<Jackieness> <XX> "We're looking. Nothing."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Look around Big Ben, and hurry."
<DeathStar> 6* So far the large upper area the elevator took them to, which is one room, just one, is coming up with ntohing on the scanner.
<DeathStar> 6* 6 mins
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ shrugs and helps to look around with XX... harder I guess.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Ash, get us outside."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pauses and turns her scanner downwards to the floor below and under the elevator.
<DeathStar> 6 *Big Ben is too big to just do that
<AquaKoala> *Teddyd moves back to the elevator, trying to get to the room they passed "On elevator!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra hugs onto Teddy
<Seraphna> * SEraphna is flapping around moving about. "We need something else... I can't pick it up and we..." *she flies to the elevator*
<DeathStar> 6* 5 mins
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ grabs XX, teleporting, compensating due to the inhibitor, to get him and XX outside
<DeathStar> 6* Ash fails to teleport
<AquaKoala> Teddy> ON ELEVATOR ASH
<DeathStar> 6* The inhibitor stops teleporting period. Hence stopping 1 block away.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Let's link back up with the others then." *runs for the elevator*
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Can't teleport. 6*Runs for the elevator
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns, "Perhaps below yeah, move us down to where it stopped."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy tries to do that
<AquaKoala> *Once the others are on
<DeathStar> 6* Once everyone is on, 3 mins remain and it begins to go down again
<AquaKoala> *Teddy waits, looking anxious
<DeathStar> 6* CAssandra smiles happily, with complete faith as she hugs Teddy
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "The other thought is they used a device we don't have the signature for yet... but I can't think of anything better then this at the moment."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy hugs back and smiles at her
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Superhero Teddy can do it. No worries. 6* By the time they reach the floor, which it stops again and the floor button light flickers again, it's 2 minutes.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna starts scanning, she also taps her comm, trying to use it to locate where the jam is coming from.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy barrels at the door with his shoulder, trying to force it open
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ moves after Sera, looking around physically, since he's not a scanny type of guy
<DeathStar> 6* The jam is natural to stop people from easily getting into Big Ben and whatnot. You kow. Terrorist B.S. lots of red tape.
<DeathStar> 6* The scan beeps, picking up the device. As they enter they see the maintence area, they see lots of junk and equipment to run all the gears up stairs
<AquaKoala> *Teddy looks about quickly
<Jackieness> <XX> "Where?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "it's in here, use your scanners, we need it narrowed down now."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy scans around
<Seraphna> * Seraphna eyes them all constantly asking and not acting. She moves about trying to get a fix.
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ scans as well, moving quickly
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves around the room, searching for the device*
<Seraphna> * Seraphna focuses around the equipment.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a crate in the corner. Labeled "Sensitive Equipment: Do Not Touch Without Supervisor"
<DeathStar> 6* It comes from... the box next to it
<DeathStar> 6* A simple plain box
<AquaKoala> *Teddy picks it up slowly and carefully "Found it"
<DeathStar> 6* 1 minute remains
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Looks like we found their little package..." *she checks over the box and starts to carefully work on disabling it, scanning it to be sure there's no traps to make it blow when tampered with*
<DeathStar> 6* Sera will have to open it first
<Seraphna> * Seraphna focuses on somethign in her hand and then opens it carefully.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Be careful that it is not designed to trigger when you open it."
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ paces worriedly
<DeathStar> 6* Inside is the tube device with the wires. Prepare yourself Sera
<DeathStar> 6* Right, LEft, Up, Down

<DeathStar> 6* It shuts off. Big Ben is saved.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy roars happily
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Best mom ever.
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Teddy did it!
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Now..." *she checks the comms*
<DeathStar> <Cass> And her sidekicks
<DeathStar> 6* Up and running
<Jackieness> <XX> "We should try to get this technology back for examination."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna taps it. "Our bomb is down. From the lack of shaking... is the other one taken care of?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart on comm> Yes. Lets go home.
<DeathStar> -Spinning Megumi-
<DeathStar> 6* Back at the mansion, with Megumi there to listen to their report - and having to deal with reports and bills for the medical health of injured hips of the British officers - Ire leans back. Iceheart crosses her arms, having captured 5 enemies as well planting theirs still, and has them in interrogation
<Feather> <Megumi> ... Je...
<Feather> <Megumi> ... ...
<Feather> <Megumi> Jesus Christ.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy sits on the floor, playing with Cass
<Feather> 6She deadpans at them over her clipboard.
<DeathStar> <Ire> Excellent. This is the first step in the counter offensive. We stopped their attack on London, we have five of their men, and now their technology. I want to get this Uplink that made it. You will rest up, then prepare to retrieve him so he quits making these things for the enemy. Get him to understand what he's doing.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart shrugs at Meg. "What? It was like 4 of them."
<DeathStar> 6* She refers to the officers.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra smiles, playing Go Bear with cards.
<Feather> <Megumi> Extensive... da... mage.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Would you prefer I let London go boom so we didn't get this bill?"
<DeathStar> 6* Ire complements them - with no real emotion
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart rubs nose, kn owing Meg will be stingy with the bill to raise up the Hunter Station out o the ocean
<Seraphna> * Seraphna rubs her forehead. "I'm going to go... take care of a little hormonal issue, then I'll be ready. Jeez, if I'm this close, I can only imagine that Elayne is too."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Fine. Sera's rich; let her pay them off.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> How much?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I could eat them, it's cheaper."
<Seraphna> * Anyata sits quietly, musing in Atay's direction.
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Momma shouldn't eat people, is not nice
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra giggles as she wins
<DeathStar> 6* Ire eyes Sera
<DeathStar> <Ire> Do I need to put you on maternity leave.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy smiles and hugs Cass carefully
<DeathStar> 6* Ire shakes his head, glancing at XX, rising and motioning her to follow
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Nope, I'll be better in a few hours."
<Jackieness> <XX> *nods and moves after Ire*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Benefits of being a huntress of my species." *she sighs and turns to go*
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ is playing with Teddy and Cassandra.
<DeathStar> <Ire> Read up and study interrogation tactics, then Katrina will supervise you, with Megumi to make sure there's no liable damage, as you interrogate. Also formulate a strategy to get this retarded Russian inventor to join us ,since your reports state he seems unaware what he's doing
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Teddy, report to my Lab."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I'm going to start fixing you up."
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra climbs Teddy's shoulder
<AquaKoala> *Teddy moves over and hugs Seraphna and follows her
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves off, after saying, "All other reploids report in after for repairs."
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Yes mom.
<Jackieness> <XX> "I will do as you ask."
<DeathStar> <Ire> You have two days to learn up. I'll work on breaking them down in the mean time with sleep depreivation
<DeathStar> <Ire> Good luck, soldier
<DeathStar> <Ire> Our next move will be our own, not a reaction
<DeathStar> 6* He turns to go
<Seraphna> * Anyata rises, moving over to Atayna. "We should spar in a bit."
<DeathStar> 6* Atay studies her and then nods once, moving to grab a weapon and moves off camera
<Feather> <Megumi> Offen... sive will be... expensive.
<Feather> 6Megumi adjusts spectacles.
<Feather> <Megumi> At least-- the damage ... will not be... ours to re... pair. Very well.
<DeathStar> <Ire> Reacting to their attacks and losing more cities will be more costly, both in lives and real estate.
<Feather> <Megumi> Next time. I will participate.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire studies MEgumi, then nods once - she is the President's aide, and can do so
<DeathStar> -TBC IN MINIS-

Session Time: Wed May 09 00:00:00 2012
<Feather> <Megumi> Complete destru... ction. I will make them... feel our... debt ledger ten... fold.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire stares
<Feather> 6Megumi brings a hand up energetically-- but still looks deadpanned.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy sits in Sera's lab, nuzzling Cass
* AquaKoala has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<DeathStar> <Ire> you are interesting. 6* He peers at Lilith. "Isn't she."
* AquaKoala has joined #taw-classic
<Feather> <Lilith> Not to me.
<DeathStar> <Ire> Ah. 6* He does his work
<AquaKoala> *Teddy sits in Sera's lab, nuzzling Cass
<Seraphna> * Seraphna shudders a bit as she lays out some parts, looking pained.
<AquaKoala> Teddy> I mother okay?
<AquaKoala> *is
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Preparing to lay eggs."
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Have new siblings?
<AquaKoala> *Teddy continues playing with Cass, waiting for his repairs
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Soon dear... ahhhh... damnit."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy moves over to her "Teddy will help"
<Seraphna> * Seraphna lets herself be led into her room, where she calls on Cheryl and Kumiko for aid since her husband and daughter are out in space.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy watches over her, still playing with Cass
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pays Kumiko double to not go in
<Seraphna> Kumiko> *looks worried as Seraphna screams*
<DeathStar> 6* She hires a birthing expert to help
<AquaKoala> *Teddy heads out with Cass, thinking she shouldn't see this
<DeathStar> 6* Cass is traumatized
<DeathStar> 6* but recovers thanks to Ted
<Seraphna> * After a couple hours of screaming and calling John over space-net or something, she's laid three eggs, one of which looks different then the others, Dor's child.
<kalonZombie> <Æ> Is mom done yet?
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Teddy think so.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Th-Three... hee... most ever at once."
<kalonZombie> 6*Æ walks in, smiling at Sera "Hey mom"
<AquaKoala> *Teddy looks at them in awe, carrying Cass
<Seraphna> * Seraphna seems to be setting the eggs up in a large protective device.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl has Kumiko check the progress
<Seraphna> * Kumiko peeks in, then comes out smiling, making a hand motion that indicates big eggs.
<Seraphna> * One would question how a woman her size even held them.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy names the eggs, still in awe
<kalonZombie> <Æ> What did you name them?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "They are Arriyana, Ariel and Mike."
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Shelley, Eggsworth, and James.
<AquaKoala> Teddy>..Teddy just name the eggs, not siblings.
