<DeathStar> 6.24.2240 (into to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* After the events in Australia, the group has returned to Cassandra, the Pirate Lady White, and her gang at their hideout, where Hawk lands at dock in the cavern/cove with other ships. Cassandra comes walking down the platforms to greet them, wearing a sexy pirate outfit, a robotic parrot on her shoulder, her dark long hair swaying behind her
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves to meet her, looking a bit cheerful.
<Koala> *Teddy eyes Cass "Need more clothes."
<DeathStar> 6* Hawk eyes the cargo boxes of robotic kangeroos with annoyance that are still on his ship, not having been happy to bring them along, his smiling charismatic self gone the last few days, and having made Pip deal with them. Katrina and Chou walk down the plank to the platform
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra arches a brow at Teddy. "I'm an adult now, Dad." 6* She puts a fist on her black pants, where her sword rests.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "That's the thing about Dads, they always think you need more clothes."
<Koala> *Teddy blinks and lowers his head a bit
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Did you all learn anything?
<Seraphna> * Elayne steps out, stretching a bit. "We have a cargo, Mom's new Kangaroobot Army. And we found the data needed to find the base."
<DeathStar> 6* She pats Teddy's arm sympathetically. Hawk snickers, but a look from Cass silents him
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra stares at Elayne
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Ye have what? *her accent goes pirate*
<Nyaomi> <Null> More kangaroos?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "And a clue that might lead us to a missing friend."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We encountered an army of Kangaroo protectors, long story short, I got in a fist fight with them and then they made me their chief."
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> .... Bloody seven hells, and you brought 'em here?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "They could be useful."
<DeathStar> <Hawk> On my ship. *He sounds wounded* They punched the hull
<Koala> Teddy> They are nice.
<Jackieness> <XX> *walks over to the group* "Kangaroo army. Strongs hindlegs."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Mean boxing tactics."
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> So how do I help find the base. <Katrina> We need to hook up a system to one of your fastest ships and sail about, sending a ping system out and search for a pong response.
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Aye, sounds like you need my Bloody Bear.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Fearsome sounding craft." *she taps her chin*
<Koala> *Teddy blinks
<Nyaomi> <Null> In other words we sail about blinding flailing our metaphorical arms?
<Jackieness> <XX> "No, a handshake. The secret handshake."
<Koala> Teddy> Dah
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Not blindly, we have the code."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not really, Null
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hands Cassandra the data, and the two move off with Aya to the ship, a giant beauty painted black, labeled Bloody Bear, with a bear shaped face at the front
<Jackieness> <XX> "What about general area?"
<DeathStar> <Chou> Well, there they go
<DeathStar> <Hawk> Well, I guess I'm done with you pretty ladies; will you miss me?
<Nyaomi> <Null> Well, good, 'cause it sounds like a bad plan if put that way
<DeathStar> 6* He gives Null and XX a beautiful smile; John eyes him
<Koala> Teddy> No.
<Nyaomi> 6Null squints at Hawk.
<Seraphna> * Elayne kisses Hawk's cheek. "THanks for putting up with Mom's eccentricities."
<Seraphna> * Elayne hops over to John and hugs his arm, smiling.
<DeathStar> <Hawk> Any time; and Teddy, I had no idea you were a lady. If I had known, I'd have given you more hugs
<DeathStar> 6* Hawk approaches, arms spread
<Seraphna> * Seraphna nods a bit, flustered at being called eccentric.
<Koala> *Teddy deadpans
<DeathStar> <Chou> This guy is something
<DeathStar> 6* Hawk gives Teddy a bear hug
<DeathStar> <Hawk> You take care
<Jackieness> <XX> *just crosses her arms*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I keep wondering if John wrote a book and he read it or something."
<Nyaomi> <Null> He's no Aya.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna smiles at her husband.
<Koala> Teddy> Don't like this.
<DeathStar> 6* Hawk quickly moves off to get the kangaroos off his ship, whistling a jaunty tune. An hour later, he stands there, sadly as they're reloaded - his ship is to follow the Bloody Bear with the kangaroo cargo
<DeathStar> <Hawk> Not fair.
<DeathStar> 6* A kangaroo punches the deck leaving a hole; he whimpers
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Alright, your stuff is installed, dad - which ship do you all want to ride on, mine or Hawk's?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Note to self... punching bags for the troops."
<Nyaomi> <Null> Ha ha ha.
<Jackieness> <XX> "If you did not tempt fate, you would not have a hole in your ship now."
<Koala> *Teddy waves to the kangaroos "Good bye my friends."
<DeathStar> <Hawk> If that mad woman did not want kangaroos that punched things, I would not have a hole in my ship
<DeathStar> 6* Hawk rubs his ship; down below more banging is heard as they wreck things and sailors curse as they are punched
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pouts and sniffles. "Am I mad, Johnny?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra walks to her ship, the parrot mimicing Hawk. "Mad woman, swack!"
<DeathStar> <John> Only in a good way. <Chou> Like hell
<Seraphna> * Seraphna gives John a kiss.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stays out of it as she walks up onto Cassandra's ship. Katrina follows
<Nyaomi> 6Null chuckles at Chou.
<Seraphna> * Elayne and Sera head up to Cassandra's ship, Sera calling out to the Kangaroo Troopers. "Best behavior!"
* Jackieness` has joined #ClassSession60
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Jackieness`)))
* Jackieness` is now known as Jackieness
<Nyaomi> 6Null reverts to casual form, swiping a bandana off one of the sailors and tying it on her hair to make her themed proper.
<Nyaomi> <Null> R.
<Koala> *Teddy gets on the ship
<DeathStar> 6* Once everyone is on her ship, Cassandra calls out and her sailors, all women wearing sexy bear themed outfits, swing on ropes and unmoor them and the ship begins to take off from the platform. She waves them down below deck to their rooms from before
<Nyaomi> 6Null wiggles her fingers at Aya and Chou. 1"R."
<Jackieness> <XX> *heads below deck to her cabin*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Hmmm... time to reward Johnny."
<DeathStar> <Aya> R? <Chou> Q?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Arr.
<Koala> *Teddy deadpans at the thwme
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> I was told by Mom that I needed a theme as a pirate and that it should be female
<DeathStar> <John> Well, Sera, your kid is a genius.
<Koala> *Teddy roars
<DeathStar> 6* John refers to Cass' mom
<Nyaomi> <Null> I'm a pirate. R.
<DeathStar> <Chou> Oh, got it. Ar.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Clearly runs in the family. Now which one raised her...
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra has ber Bearettes show them to their rooms and enters her own, which is like a girl's room with the teddy bears and little toys, relaxing. Katrina heads to the room where the machine is set up, and turns it on once out of the cove; it begins to send out a ping signal
<DeathStar> 6* A faint pong is detected days away, so she tells the person at the wheel and they turn in that way; Katrina then shuts the machine down
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Once we have the base, I think we can get you sent back home Chou. And retrieve our ninja twins."
<Koala> *Teddy sits in Cass' room to talk with her
<DeathStar> <Chou> London is too well guarded to just send me back home like that
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra sets her parrot on a perch
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Hey, DAd.
<DeathStar> <John> I wonder where Ash is hiding
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Stealth delivery sharkbots..."
<Koala> Teddy> Hello Cassandra. How are you?
<DeathStar> <Chou> Yeah. Frankly, I won't take my chances with your animals.
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Fine; hoping my pirates can handle themselves on their own. 6* She waves out the port window at Hawk following them. "Hawk is one of the best."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna looks hurt.
<Koala> Teddy> He is smart enough not to let on how smart he is.
<Nyaomi> 6Null sits and performs internal testing.
<DeathStar> 6* John hugs Sera
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> It's good to see oyu again. *She smiles softly, holding up a stuffed bear that looks like him*
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sits with Null, peering at her.
<Seraphna> * Sera rers, Elayne smiles a bit.
<DeathStar> <Aya> So, if you're a pirate. Does that mean you want to pillage me?
<DeathStar> 6* Chou jerks at Aya saying that outloud
<DeathStar> <Chou> Jeeze.
<Seraphna> * Elayne holds up a 9.5 scorecard to Aya.
<Koala> *Teddy blinks at the bear and smiles "Is good to see you."
<Jackieness> <XX> *leaves her cabin now that they are underway, already feeling frsutrated after being out to sea once again*
<Seraphna> * Seraphna leans against John and peers up at him. "The things I intend to do to you..."
<Nyaomi> 6Null's eyes glower and she lifts her head, blinking.
<Nyaomi> <Null> Hm?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya jerks at her good one liner
<DeathStar> <Aya> Oh, n-nothing
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks too embarrassed to repeat it, but Chou doens't
<DeathStar> <Chou> She wants you to pillage her vagina
<DeathStar> <Aya> I-I didn't say it THAT way
<DeathStar> 6* John lifts her up. "Lets go then
<Seraphna> * Seraphna giggles and purrs. "Mmmm, sure!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra sits on his lap like she used to, trying to get adjusted right, thankfully still slim for her age, despite her large breasts
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Heh...this feels weird now that I'm bigger....
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Guess I cna't ride inside you anymore either
<DeathStar> 6* She looks a little sad
<Koala> *Teddy rubs her back "Is okay, Sera can add more room.
<Nyaomi> <Null> Oh. Okay.
<Nyaomi> 6Null gets up and stretches slowly with her arms over her head.
<Koala> *Teddy does still hulk over her nonetheless.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra laughs softly, still trying to balance on his knee. "Do I look like a slut to you in this?" 6* She motions at her white blouse that shows off her cleaveage and bellybutton, and tight black pants with a pirate belt and gloves
<Seraphna> * Elayne giggles a bit, lingering to give Sera and John a moment to themselves.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya flusters at how nonchalant Null is
<DeathStar> 6* Chou moves off to peer at the ocean
<Seraphna> * Elayne moves over by Chou.
<Koala> Teddy> No, though it is much too revealing.
<Koala> Teddy> Will have to talk to Ash about this.
<Nyaomi> 6Null picks up Aya and carries her toward the stern
<Seraphna> Elayne> "YOu okay Chou?"
<DeathStar> <Chou> Yeah.
<DeathStar>  6* Cassandra laughs
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> It's just a pirate thing, really
<DeathStar> 6* Aya flusters at Null taking her to the stern
<DeathStar> <Aya> Nuuuuull---
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6.27 - intro to follow -
<DeathStar> 6* A mighty storm rocks the two boats, rain pouring down on them. Cassandra has the wheel, soaked to the bone, her shirt see through due to the blouse material, and a headset in her ear: Katrina, with the machine down below, eyes the pinging of the Hunter Base, if the information they have is correct, nearby, only a mile or so ahead, but also near some deadly rocks so that Cass has taken the wheel, the most experienced sailor on deck. Hawk's ship follows
<DeathStar> 6* Chou peers out a closed port at the waves rising and falling high and low; the machine pongs back the signal each time Katrina sends it
<DeathStar> <Aya> *shivers in fear a bit*
<Koala> *Teddy is out, putting a coat on Cass "Will get sick"
<Seraphna> * Seraphna watches, looking calm. Wearing not much save one of John's shirts as she observes.
<Jackieness> <XX> "It is almost as if the last boss before the base were the storm itself..." *noted out loud as she stands near Katrina*
<DeathStar> <John> I'll go out and punch it. *He jokes*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "It's possible the bse has a defense mechanism that creates a storm barrier. Or if someone's on board, they're making the storm."
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra nods tensely to Teddy, too busy focusing, her dark black asian hair in her face as a ghiant wave heads for the ship, threatening to capsize it
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Or we just have bad luck with weather."
<DeathStar> 6* She shifts the wheel to go with the whve
<DeathStar> <Aya> Oh dear, oh dear.... *Chou eyes her*
<DeathStar> 6* Aya closes her eyes, not liking the waves under her feet
<Jackieness> <XX> "Who would possess the ability to construct or project such a defense?"
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Angel. Possibly one of the other kids, but definately Angel."
<Nyaomi> 6Null grabs Chou, then Aya, and holds on in each arm.
<Nyaomi> <Null> I will protect you.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya glances at Null, leaning aghainst her; Chou blinks at being included
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We may need to shield the ship if we get more bad waves."
<DeathStar> 6* The boat begins to tip from the wave and Cassandra strains, lightning hitting one of the masts and catching it on fire, and it begins to wave about wildly as the rope tangles, sending them wildly about
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Someone has to climb and cut that rope! Before we capsize!
<DeathStar> 6* The boat begins to teeter more
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns and begins to head for it, her hand forming into a claw as she goes for the rope.
<Nyaomi> 6Null pulls out her revolver and shoots the rope
<Jackieness> <XX> "What is going on up there? The swaying of the ship just got crazy."
<Koala> *Teddy stays by Cass, a bear
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pauses a moment at the gun shot to see if it hits before climbing.
<DeathStar> 6* Null's shot hits the rope and it snaps about, swinging around wildly now, free - thei mmediate danger free, but the rope swinging means it can re-eantangle any moment
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra uses this to turn at the wheel hard, using her muscles to get the ship realigned; Hawk's ship behind them having vanished
<Seraphna> * Elayne reaches out and TK grabs the rope, pulling it down for Seraphna to secure.
<DeathStar> 6* The rope, once secured, is safe - but a large wave slides across the upper deck and hits Seraphna, sending her sliding along, then hits Teddy and Cass in a different location
<DeathStar> 6* They begin to move, except Teddy - he's a bear
<DeathStar> 6* John jerks and moves for the door to the upper deck
<Koala> *Teddy grabs for Cass to catch her
<Seraphna> * Seraphna claws into the floor to stop herself. Trying to drag herself for the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra grabs Teddy, straightneing herself on the slick surface, and grabs the wheel next, restraightening; Seraphna finds the deck too slippering to dig into and keeps sliding toward the edge
<DeathStar> 6* John tosses XX a rope and ties it to himself and leaps out, sliding to Seraphna and catches her right at the edge
<DeathStar> 6* He just preys XX grabs it
<Seraphna> * Elayne grunts and TK grabs her, Seraphna grumbles and tries to grab to something to help drag heself.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna grabs that rope.
<Seraphna> * And John
<DeathStar> (Seaphna couldn't)
<Jackieness> <XX> *grabs the rope*
<Seraphna> * Elayne moves over to XX to help her pull them back.
<DeathStar> 6* John hangs onto Seraphna and begins to work his way back along the deck as Elayne and XX help anchor and pull them; Chou reaches out to add her reploid strength
<DeathStar> 6* John coughs up water that splashes ov er the edge; suddenly up ahead they see a large space station in the waters, half submerged from the storm
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra points silently, the storm too loud to yell over now
<Jackieness> <XX> "There it is!"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "My hero." *she coos a bit*
<Koala> *Teddy blibks
<DeathStar> 6* John barely gets back down the stairs below deck with her, slamming the door shut partially so they can look out; water pours down the stairs from the waves
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina touches her comm, having come up to join the others
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't see a hanger to dock, Cassandra
* Koala has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<DeathStar> 6* There's no response from Cassandra, due to the sheer noise of the storm
* Koala has joined #ClassSession60
<Seraphna> * Elayne relays the message to Cassandra with telepathy.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> At this rate, we'll crash into it if we cna't spot something
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra, not having telepathetic abilities doesn't respond, but she feels out that she acknowledges
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "If I can remote connect to the base... maybe I can get control of the hangar bays and guide us in."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "She got the message, Kat."
<DeathStar> 6* They begin to get closer to the station
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I can try to send a code we got from the base, but it might be outdated
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes a datapad.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Keep an eye out for something moving
<Jackieness> <XX> "Just do something!"
<Seraphna> * Seraphna looks out with them Lunarian eyes. Elayne does the same.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Try it."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina taps something and sends out something; a moment later, something shifts on the station, like a wall opens up and water begins to gush inside the station - loikely ah anger opened up
<Seraphna> * Elayne twitches and sends what she sees to Cassandra.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Think we got it."
<DeathStar> <Chou> I hope Hawk is stiyll following us
<Jackieness> <XX> "There!" *points*
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Me too."
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra tries to steer them in, the Bloody Beer trying to aim for it, the storm making it hard; it's clear they're coming in fast and sharp, and too close to the wall
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "The Kangatroopers will not be stopped by a mere storm."
<DeathStar> 6* The Bearettes below deck look worried
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers out the ports and holds out her hand, using the Rune to try and create two wind pockets that will ease the boats turning into port. Elayne strains herself and tries to shift the ship slightly with TK.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship sails into the hanger, wioth the aid of the two, the deck filled with water now - shuttles are bobbing up and down as well as other boats, and slams into the far wall witoh a crunch as Cassandra throws an anchor too late. Chou runs into a port window to see if Hawk has made it in as Katrina waits to send the signal tyo close it, more water coming into the hanger
<DeathStar> 6* The mighty bear face, made to resemble a majestic Teddy, is crunched into the hanger far wall; the shuttles begin to bob out of the hanger into the ocean
<Nyaomi> 6Null holds Aya so she doesn't toss about
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves up to the deck and uses a Wind Wall to try and push the shuttles back, or hold them for a bit. Elayne looks to see if the other ship made it in.
<Jackieness> <XX> "We can't let those shuttles get away."
<Koala> *Teddy blinks at the bear face "Sorry Cass."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya clings to Null with a squeal at the bang/crash and Katrina uses John as support. A moment later Hawk sails in, and Katrina hits the button; his ship throws it's anchor out, landing inside a shuttle and it spins to a stop, slamming into a few boats
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> We made it...6* She drips, soaking wet, the storm out side howling until fignally it can't be heard as the doors shut - two shuttles lost, but more would have been if Sera hadn't used her tactic
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Well, I have things to fix up... let's see if anyone's home..." *she hops up to the deck, naked save for a fully soaked wet t-shirt of John's*
<DeathStar> 6* Aya lets go, blinking; John, Chou, Katrina, and Aya slowly go to the top deck and peers out at the hanger, which has 20 feet of water in it now. Hawk stands on his deck and waves across at them
<DeathStar> <Hawk> Oy@!
<Seraphna> Elayne> "This is worse then that time Lucas and Jonas wanted to make a hangar into a swimming pool."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Why dodn't you get dressed first?"
<Seraphna> * Seraphna looks over, blinking. "Dressed...?"
<Koala> *Teddy picks up Cass to get her into dry clothes, looking worried
<Nyaomi> 6Null heads above decks as well, making a face at the water
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> I-I'm fine, really.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Clothed. Non-mostly-nude."
<DeathStar> 6* There's a noise suddenly in the hanger, and a whirling sound - and the water begins to drain
<DeathStar> <Hawk> Bloody ell look at that
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Clothes can wait... either that's the automated systems or someone's running the place."
<Koala> Teddy> Will catch a cold.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers around for the entrance into the base from the hangar.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Then let's go look... after you put on some pants."
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra blushes. "I-I can walk to my room, but if you want to carry me, you can
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Johnny, do I need pants?"
<DeathStar> 6* John carries Sera down to their room
<DeathStar> <John> 'fraid so - don't want XX to get ideas at a young age
<DeathStar> 6* Aya and Katrina look around curiously
<Koala> *Teddy carries her, still used to babying her
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pouts but allows herself to be dressed.
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> 6* 7 minutes later, everyone is back in nice new clothing, including John. Cassandra, wearing a different but piratey outfit that's more low cut and tight, tosses down a rope ladder and climbs down to the hanger floor, eyeing her ship now on 'dry land' as it is. Hawk climbs down too - the kangaroos are heard punching his hull to his dismay. Katrina and Aya loiok about and Chou makes a face, memories of this place
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, running lights appear on this floor, running to one of the exits
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Okay, someone's here. Let's follow the light."
<DeathStar> 6* John nods, hiding behind Seraphna as they move along
<DeathStar> <John> Or this place is haunted now
<Koala> *Teddy hops down
<Seraphna> * Seraphna is wearing her uniform again, though the top pulled down and a t-shirt on over it. She moves along.
<Jackieness> <XX> "On the path of lights." *walks along the lighted path*
<Nyaomi> <Null> Still don't like the Hunter base, Chou?
<Seraphna> Elayne> "You know... I haven't tried to call on Doramon since we got back..."
<DeathStar> 6* As Teddy lands, the hanger shakes a shuttle wing falls off. There's a pause and a monitor on the wall, which was unseen before, having a number on it, goes up from 75,000 to 90,000
<DeathStar> <Chou> Not really
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "...I think Megumi might be here. The bill is rising."
<DeathStar> <Hawk> Who?
<Koala> Teddy> Book keeper.
<DeathStar> 6* They walk along and it leads to the stairs, not the elevator that's a bit further down - though it seems fine too.
<DeathStar> <Hawk> Ey, bloody hell, why can't we use the elevator
<Jackieness> <XX> "Or she left something running."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe there's not enough power.
<Koala> Teddy> Old, could snap from weight.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Or she's counting the cost of power."
<DeathStar> 6* John makes a face and takes the stairs, as does hte rest of the DS characters. Hawk grumbles, while Cassandra steps onto Teddy's foot to ride
<Seraphna> Elayne> "I do sense a sidequest where you need to restore power and the rest of us need to recover power cells."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna and Elayne take the stairs.
<DeathStar> 6* They have to go up several, several, several decks, the lights finally stopping on the command deck if memory serves.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks winded, and even Katrina takes a few breaths
<DeathStar> <Chou> Well, that took a bit
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I wonder if my seat warmer still works."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Are we being toyed with?!"
<Koala> *Teddy lets his front open and lets Cass sit on it for a Chair
<DeathStar> 6* As they enter the command deck, they find all the power is on and monitoring things, though it's clear it's not at full power, like someone is conserving energy, or trying not to send out a huge power source to be detected. Clearly enough is running here that elevators would be fine
<Seraphna> * Seraphna calmly peers about and starts moving for where she thinks command should be.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Maybe no sidequest?" <Seraphna> "Looks like they're keeping a low profile alright."
<DeathStar> 6* There's the old desks and small offices all about the main terminal desk with the huge monitor in the center of the room where people sat, with the side closed office for the person who ran the station, and on the other side the closed off area for Wind/Megumi. A light is on in that room
<Nyaomi> <Null> You really think it's Megumi?
<Seraphna> Elayne> "THat or Kumiko learned the budgets off her."
<Koala> *Teddy moves for the room
<Seraphna> * Seraphna heads there.
<DeathStar> 6* John rubs the back of his head and walks over, knocking. A muffled voice, female, tells them to come in.
<Jackieness> <XX> "...I sincerely hope she is not tracking interest."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna opens the door and steps in.
<DeathStar> 6* John opens the door and there sits Megumi, wearing her old outfit, at Wind's desk. Across from her, in the Hunter General outfit, is Iceheart, her hair longer than before; both peer their way.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Well, it seems the intruders are someone we know after all
<Koala> Teddy> Hello!
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Long time... how are you doing?"
<DeathStar> <Chou> Who's that running this place?
<Jackieness> <XX> "Really? We're just going to say 'how you doing'?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I'm fine; but I am curious where you all been the last 15 years. Megumi has been culiminating interest on you
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart leans back; she looks the same age as ever, being a reploid
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Where.... my money... at?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Senreich used a Time Portal as a trap."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> A time portal....?
<DeathStar> 6* She glances at Megumi
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Yes, it sent us ahead 15 years."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya and Katrina take a seat
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I see. How'd you find this place then? We changed codes years ago
<Jackieness> <XX> *turns around and whispers* "Dammit."
<DeathStar> 6* Her hands are relaxed at her side, but one who is observing can tell she has it next to a button
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "It was a long, long quest, by the way, we need housing for Australia's Kangaroo Bots."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Is that right?
<Nyaomi> 6Megumi narrows her eyes-- calculating residency costs.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "They made me their chief after I beat their boss in a fistfight."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Does our money even have any value? I mean... they are probably using reichmarks or something."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Well, you all certainly sound healthy and of the right mind
<Seraphna> Elayne> "We assure you Mom's as crazy as ever."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna flusters.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Mmmhm. I don't suppose you mind being mind scanned?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Go ahead."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart gestures and suddenly behind them, in a black battle suit, looking just a few years older than Katrina somehow, another Katrina steps out.
<DeathStar> 6* She stands there, emotionless, eyeing them all, arms crossed, and focuses
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Erevis?"
<Koala> *Teddy blinks at them
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> That's right
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Sorry I haven't been around for pet duties?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Their minds are clean.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Alright. *she removes her hand* No need to vaporize them then
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Speaking of duties... where are my kids?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> So..that's what Senreich was up to when you all left. Sorry - took me years to piece my mind together. Cost Megumi a lot - which she won't let me forget. As for your offspring, space.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis casually sits and plays with string, cat's cradle
<Seraphna> * Seraphna nods. "So that info was good... Anyata and Atayna are in London."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies her older duplicate, then the others
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Alright.... I guess you all want to be brought up to speed...
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Yep... we have a mission to complete."
<Nyaomi> <Null> If there is such a speed
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Well. The Nazis, after you all vanished, began to use the Staff of Ra to increase their number somehow - they began to appear out of nowhere. Also, with the Mavericks defeated mostly, and the Asia earthquakes causing problems, problems divided us. There was also some alien race that seemed to be helping them, that identified as Illium. Not like the Others that Cheryl warned us about - we tried to use the tarot cards to get help like the alliance set up, but the Illium somehow hit Wind with something that blocked his reality powers to leave. It was clear they were after him.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> So Wind and the remaining of our number set up bases around Earth, while Wind uses what powers he had left to try to figure out what was going on and reach the portal to Centerpoint, and get the stolen tarot cards back.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> About 7 years ago, they kidnapped Wind and we haven't seen him since. But the Nazis' powers haven't increased and Cheryl hasn't shown up, so the other realities must not be invaded, so they must still be clueloess.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "So when it's not Motenks it's a whole new race of beings fucking with us... great. Wait... stolen cards? They got the tarot cards?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Yeah, somehow. They attacked the base not long after your disappearance, and the cards were lost to us - either into the sea, or taken.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> With Wind's powers acting up, we could not make more cards
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We should thank our stars that Cheryl had the foresight to make them single use."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I'd hate to see what they could do with unlimited access to those other realities... but this is still definately a problem. We have intelligence on who took Wind. So after we get things secured here, I guess he's our next objective."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Our operatives have been working around the globe into Nazi operations - Ire, and others, to learn more aobut their plans. Ire right now thinks he might know where either Senreich or Wind is at, but we lost contact with him thanks to this storm
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> If you got thei ntelligence from the Australia base, that's very outdated.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pauses again. "...Ire?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I watched his brains get splattered... how is Ire doing anything?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Yes. His lifespan was tied to his Inugami, and we managed to use that to bring him back. He's not what he used to be, and frankly he has ... problems
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> He won't last the year.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> But Wind used his reality powers to bring him back, when we gott desperate.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "...I see. And still working till he expires... that's him."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Did you bring Cheryl back too?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna looks up with clouded eyes at that question.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> No. Wind was going to the night of his capture, but the powers were cut off.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna looks down.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Plus the resulot likely would have made Wind our enemy - doing Ire already made him take risks he shouldn't have
<Seraphna> Elayne> "You said the kids were in space... did Zera take them?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Yeah.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Kumiko go with them? She doesn't seem to be here."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> She's with Ire, looking for Wind.
<Seraphna> * Elayne nods.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> And helping with Ire's brain damage.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Any other questions?
<Seraphna> * Elayne sighs and rubs her head. "Power is down to keep a low profile only?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Yes
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gets her fingers tangled up somehow; Cassandra sits on a seat, recalling all the times as a child she spent here
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Right... so when this storm lifts, we get Ire's info and get our Wind back."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Yeah. Right now he's in Russia.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Something about finding a lead there.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Great... maybe it's time to revive the old Russia IDs."
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> I remember dad being a Russian once
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "At the very least... we're home."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Yeah, the base moving helps us hide
<Jackieness> <XX> "Or what's left of home."
<Koala> Teddy> Is programmed Russian.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> If any of you find a tarot card, getting help from Cheryl's group would be a help
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Something bothers me though... if Senreich used a time portal on us... why only 15 years?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It could be the staff of Ra only had it in it
<Koala> *Teddy is lying on the floor near Cass
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Well, Megumi and I were discussing the Nazis and sheer number of them
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I'm not sure if it's related, but it seems like the Nazis were right of 1945. Could be he zapped them from that time period, then didn't have enough to banish you
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Hrmmm...." *she tries to think if she hid any, or if she had one on her*
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> If you could find out the truth, that would be nice
<DeathStar> 6* All tarot cards were left on the station
<Nyaomi> <Null> Nazis suck.
<DeathStar> <Chou> Well, if you had accurate records, I got some IDs on me
<DeathStar> 6* Chou pulls out a few female Nazi spy IDs she took and sets them down
<DeathStar> <Chou> I just have these two - I didn't intend to be dragged along, but these were lifted off two dead Nazis
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I wonder if Wily is working with Senreich... we are a german family."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart takes them, then moves to the computer and checks them, running accurate checks on it
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> That's.... odd. Very odd.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Hrm?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What is it? *She walks over*
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> This woman's ID - well, she's listed in our records as MIA. But this area of the war, almost everyone was killed that was on the German side. But history says a lot of bodies were never recovered.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I mean a LOT. Like thousands
<Jackieness> <XX> "He pulled them all to the present?"
<DeathStar> 6* She checks various battles, squinting the documents.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "So... he didn't ressurect, he took thousands of people from one time and put them in another."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> The timeline could be in danger then, from this, unless he was careful who he choose - or we're reading reconstructed historical documents
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Even a small number of people out of time can cause... problems."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> This woman might have originally died if not for him yanking her
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Either scenario is possible - if history changed in 1945, we wouldn't know
<Jackieness> <XX> "Time travel is annoying."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> How many MIAs are there? <Iceheart> Too many to be coincidence.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Always from big battles
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "These Illum concern me the most... but one step at a time.Time itself is elastic, the exact events don't have to occur the same if time is changed, just the major events. Time tends to... fix itself."
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> That's why I'm a pirate - it's easier
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> But I'll get you all to Russia
<Jackieness> <XX> "Last time I saw the Staff of Ra, it was falling into the time vortex. So where did it land?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis somehow gets her hands tied compltely together
<DeathStar> <John> OR when
<Seraphna> * Elayne sits with Erevis and helps her untangle.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This was part of my plan
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "...Could have wound up in 1945."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Anyway, got anything to add, Megumi?
<DeathStar> (<Megumi> Money)
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Operating.... time... device exp... ensive.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> And to think she's our acting President, eh?
<DeathStar> <John> Y-You're joking
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Got something to say?
<DeathStar> 6* He jerks
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I wonder what our back pay is like with accrued interest..."
<Koala> *Teddy sniffs sadly, being dragged away from Cass again
<Nyaomi> 6Megumi eyes John.
<DeathStar> <JOhn> N-No, Madame PResident
<Nyaomi> 6Megumi stands, holding out her hands, she makes John dance via telekinetics.
<DeathStar> 6* John makes a sound of surprise
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra sits on Teddy, petting
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> If you want, I can help on the mission
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sighs. "Please don't toy with my husband. I need him for controlling my wild sexual urges."
<DeathStar> <Hawk> Ha ha ha ha
<DeathStar> 6* Hawk points at John
<DeathStar> <Hawk> You dance like a wee puppet man
<Nyaomi> 6Megumi eyes Hawk, puppeteering him, too.
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Who... is this man?
<DeathStar> 6* Hawk curses
<DeathStar> <Hawk> Bloody 'ell, what did I do?!
<Seraphna> Elayne> "New recruit."
<Jackieness> <XX> "He is John's disciple."
<DeathStar> 6* Chou shakes her head
<DeathStar> <Chou> This place
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> ... Mem... bership fees. Residency.... fees. Initiation... fee.
<DeathStar> <Hawk> I just sail ships!
<Koala> *Teddy shakes his head "Is safer with you not."
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Navigational... licensing... fees.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Standard operating costs Megumi dear."
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Not afraid
<DeathStar> <Hawk> I didnae vote for you!
<Koala> *Teddy blinks and hugs her "Is bear in heart."
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Time of... distress.
<DeathStar> <Hawk> But if ya want, I can show you the vote of love
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> ... Every... one. Welcome... back.
<DeathStar> 6* Hawk says ash e dances
<DeathStar> <Aya> *giggles* It's nice to be back, Meg
<Nyaomi> 6Megumi walks Hawk out, letting go of John.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Or Madame PResident
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> ... Me... gumi is ... fine.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Thank you. Everyone, start reoccupying rooms, we have till the storm dies out to rest."
<DeathStar> 6* Hawk curses, falling down the stairs
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Poor Hawk
<Jackieness> <XX> *looks at John* "Seriously, did you write a manual on how to be you before we left?"
<DeathStar> <John> I did write the book on the Motenk War.
<DeathStar> <John> But I had matured by then
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I'm thinking of writing a book on the various positions we've discovered since getting together."
<DeathStar> <John> Now it's my wife that's the sex fiend
<DeathStar> 6* John gestures
<Seraphna> * Seraphna nods.
<DeathStar> <Jhon> I really don't need to be
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Though I've always been a bit of a sex fiend."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head
<Seraphna> * Elayne wraps her arms around John.
<Koala> Teddy> Teddy write book about the life of a bear.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Its already been written. Its called the Kama Sutra."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Trust me XX, we got past that a while ago."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mating is overrated. Destroying nazis is not
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina snickers, heading for her lab
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra giggles and scratches Teddy
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Their sequeals when you destroy their bones is music
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart eyes Erevis, then the others
<Nyaomi> 6Megumi muses, trying to puppet Erevis
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Reploids, report to my workshop for upgrades and repairs. Also... Iceheart?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Erevis has gotten a little violent since you left
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis psionically blocks her, and pulls her ears
<Nyaomi> 6Megumi makes a noise and face.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "When I left here, I left detailed scans I took of Sigma's body. Are my databanks still intact?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do not attempt to pull the strings of Wind's sister - you may be his lover, but I will not tolerate it
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Should be - as well as Vile's deactivated body
<DeathStar> <Chou> You got VIle's body here?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Excellent... I may have new Mark Upgrades for people shortly."
<Koala> *Teddy's leg kicks happily before getting up and moving for the lab
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Want... see... Erevis dance...
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "The enemy made a mistake in letting me get close enough to see how they upgraded those fools."
<Nyaomi> 6Megumi makes Aya piroette like a ballerina.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not 'dance'. Except in battle. YTou may come watch one day, if you are brave enough
<Jackieness> <XX> *shrugs and goes on ahead to the workshop* "I just have a psychological complex that I need to be better than my stupid, naive brother."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Well... fool. Sigma wasn't so bad in the end."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya makes a noise and huffs, coming close to dosing Megumi with pheromones, unabhle to stop herself
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> ... Brave. I have... been on missions before you.
<DeathStar> 6* The signs there on her face to those who know her
<Nyaomi> 6Megumi lets go of Aya, sitting down at the desk and peering at them.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Umm...M-Meg... careful."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya jerks, snapping out of it
<DeathStar> <Aya> S-Sorry.
<DeathStar> 6* Chou eyes Aya oddly, moving on
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods to Megumi, and works on her strings as the session ends into minis
<DeathStar> -END-
Session Close: Wed Dec 26 21:31:04 2012
