<DeathStar> 6* The Hunter Station comes to a stop near London and the enemy shuttle has been prepped with new fuel. Iceheart gathers everyone in the hanger for a meeting, and Warren is there, rubbing his head quietly, the bald spot, musing about the news of his Inugami still.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya finishes going over scans
<Seraphna> * Seraphna wears a lab coat over her tactical suit, but otherwise seems ready to go, Elayne is also present, ready.
<kalonZombie> 6*Pip walks on to help pilot the shuttle, and Ash steps on as well
<Aqua> *Teddy sits on the floor
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps out with uniforms for the smaller people - aka not Teddy
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Based on what we saw, these are some Nazi uniforms for you all to fit in
<Jackieness> <XX> "Feel like I need a riding crop with these suits."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Pip take one
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Kinky.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Sie sehen bissig.
<Jackieness> <XX> *goes to take one of the uniforms as well*
<DeathStar> 6* Chou walks in behind her, German hat, jacket, and uniform
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart pets Freyja on her lap
<Seraphna> * Seraphna takes hers and starts getting changed, Elayne does the same, hiding behind her.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> We obviously can't send our entire operation in
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves to change on the other side of the shuttle*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "True... and in case we have a problem a second squad could come into use."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> The mission is simple - the barrier around the planet originates from London, you need to permenantly disable it from the main German base - Chou will lead you there
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> If you can learn anything about Senreich's plan or Wind there, do it. After the barrier comes down, we need to find him which has always been our main objective.
<Aqua> *Teddy puts on his nazi hat "Am ready."
<DeathStar> <Ire> *stops rubbing his head* You also need to learn about the blonde girl Senreich has
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Pip put theirs on, Pip sitting in the pilot seat
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Mmhmm. The clone of Cheryl."
<DeathStar> ,Iceheart> You assume it's a clone
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Verify first
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina slips into her jacket
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Well it has another's DNA... but... yeah."
<Jackieness> <XX> *steps out, mysteriously carrying a ridig crop*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves into the shuttle, and John walks in wearing a male officer's uniform and gets in
<DeathStar> 6* Aya steps back, not going it seems, and Chou hops in
<DeathStar> <Ire> *Crosses his arms, not going either - clearly doing something else*
<Jackieness> <XX> "I am a foxy fraulein." *turns on her heel and boards the shuttle*
<Seraphna> * Elayne steps on, Seraphna peers over the others. "Seems we have some volunteers to stay... where is Null, by the way?"
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Not bad, XX. I see why you wanted those private lessons with me
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens up a makeup kit on the shuttle for those who want to use it
<Aqua> *Teddy lies down, a bear
<kalonZombie> <Ash> You can frael my leins any day.
<kalonZombie> *fraul
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra pulls herself in at the last moment, her face completely different and hair color red
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> *she taps her ear* Uplink, read? <Uplink> Da
<Seraphna> * Seraphna shrugs when there's no response and turns to get on the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Chou> *shrugs* She stayed last mission with me, maybe she's staying with Aya this time.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya moves up for the command center
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash gets on with Sera, Pip already strapped into the pilot sear
<kalonZombie> *seat
<Aqua> *Teddy blinks at Cass "Is not safe..."
<Jackieness> <XX> *straps herself in*
<Kit> 6Null chimes in. 1"Yes, Chou."
<Kit> <Null> I will be staying with Aya this time, I hope you don't mind.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> She can take care of herself Ted.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> She wasn't the captain of a pirate ship for nothing.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Don't mind." *she nods* "Spend good time with her. Be ready in case we need backup."
<Aqua> *Teddy huffs slightly
<Aqua> *Teddy nods to Sera
<Seraphna> * Seraphna said that to Null.
<Kit> <Null> Will do
<Seraphna> * Seraphna does nod to Teddy though.
<Aqua> (Welp)
<Kit> <Null> Good luck.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra nods to Ash
<Seraphna> (There. Momma gave a not. *pat*)
<DeathStar> <Chou> *nods to Null* Well, I'll be staying in London - got to run the crew and all and look after them
<Kit> <Null> ... So you're leaving
<Aqua> *Teddy reads quietly
<Kit> 6Null makes a face, a twitch in her eyes.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Mmm. Hopefully my girls have joined up with your people, Chou."
<Kit> <Null> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Chou peers down and nod. "Worried about Clo."
<DeathStar> <Chou> She's not as strong as I've become. 6* She plays with her pink hair, gone from the quiet, shy one to out spoken
<Seraphna> ( *Flash to Clo sitting and making Chou's staff fan her while she leads the rebellion. )
<Kit> <Null> ... ... I don't want you to go.
<Kit> <Null> But if you have to.
<DeathStar> <Chou> You can come if you want to
<DeathStar> 6* Aya hides in the hallway to the command center
<Kit> 6Null rubs her face and nods. 1"I cannot, and you know why. You two will... make me choose between-- I can't."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sighs a little bit and rubs her head, moving into the shuttle to let Katrina help her get done up.
<DeathStar> 6* Chou nods and gives Null a hug. "Well, you don't have to."
<DeathStar> 6* Chou hops on
<Kit> <Null> I love Aya, and she's always been there for me. I need to be there for her when she needs me. When I was lost, you were there for me, and therefore I feel the desire the same."
<DeathStar> <Chou> See you after the war, Null, if you look me up
<DeathStar> 6* Chou moves to strap ino
<Kit> <Null> But it's something Aya can't accept, and seeminly neither can you. I'm not human, I'm not --what Aya is--" 6She blanks on the name.
<Kit> <Null> I don't understand the problem, but it likely has to do with the complexities of the mind I don't have.
<Kit> <Null> ... Or emotions.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina buckles in. Iceheart glances at Null, shrugging.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Some girls can't handle three relationships. 6* She notes as the shuttle begins to close and go
<DeathStar> 6* She pets her foxes
<Kit> 6Null frowns. 1"I don't get it... I've been trying. But I don't. All I know is I'm perpetuating a fantasy I can't make real. Chou. Please be safe. I would like to see you again."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash leans back after buckling up
<Kit> <Chii> It's a complicated affair." 6She jokes.
<Aqua> *Teddy reads near Cass and Ash
<DeathStar> <Freyja> *in maid outfit, face serious* Very.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra blinks and blushes a little at Teddy
<Seraphna> * Seraphna seats herself by John and Elayne, who stretches and yawns a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies Chou silent, peering down, and sits by Pip up front, make up to look a little different. John leans back
<Aqua> *Teddy doesn't notice, a bear
<DeathStar> <John> I feel for Null. Took me a while to make the three girl thing work
<kalonZombie> <Pip> You look good. I mean... for what we're doing.
<Jackieness> <XX> *taps her riding crop against her thigh idly*
<Kit> <Chii> Are we participating today, Ruby?
<Seraphna> * Elayne giggles a bit. "Mmm. It did didn't it?"
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle flies along the rwater
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Sure. *FRreyja flusters as the camera leaves them for now*
<Kit> <Chii> Er! I mean Iceheart.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Pip
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Th-thanks
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle flies in low and they begin to approach the city over the water, looking as Londony a ever - minus the pillars all over in the water, and spotlights going into the air with Nazi symbols.
<DeathStar> 6* As they come in, a voice speaks, asking for verification codes. Katrina pauses and reaches up to where she taped them after scouring the shuttle
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *she hands it to XX to read, her voice better*
<Jackieness> <XX> *looks the codes over and then reaches for the audio button* "Ya, reciting verification codes now:" *recites the codes*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash looks over at Sera and mouths "Her accent is terrible"
<DeathStar> (Okay, roll your d20 dice now and tell me what bluff you got)
<DeathStar> (Kidding)
<Jackieness> (( @.@ ))
<kalonZombie> (We cast glibness beforehand. That's a +30)
<Aqua> (/rolld20-6)
<DeathStar> 6* Since there's no luck factor/perception for Class, XX fools successfully
<DeathStar> 6* The person tells them to come in
<DeathStar> <John> *leans forward* Pip, despite telling us to land in the base and it looking juicy for attack, doing so might be a bad idea
<DeathStar> <John> If word got out this was ther stolen shuttle, we'd be surrounded. So land here. *he passes a paper up front of London* Chou says it's a safe area near her place
<Jackieness> <XX> *waves her riding crop toward the front of the shuttle to indicate they can go in, cutting off the transmission*
<kalonZombie> 6*Pip nods, flying for it to land there
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Seriously XX, we need to work on your accent.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I couldn't do it
<Aqua> Teddy> Am fluent.
<Aqua> Teddy> No one ask.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra leans back
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Dad, with how much you've been tangling with the germans, you're sure to have wanted posters every where
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Die Hälfte der echten Soldaten sind nicht überzeugend.
<Aqua> Teddy> Am wearing disguise
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sits back and peers at them all, then coughs.
<Aqua> *Teddy is wearing a hat and a fake moustache
<Jackieness> <XX> "You do realize that most of these so-called nazis are actually fake Nazis?"
<Jackieness> <XX> "Most of them speak bad-mock-German."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "That's what I said."
<Seraphna> * Elayne giggles.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Das heißt nicht, wir sollten keine Mühe hinein.
<Aqua> Teddy> Wienersnizlet suarkraut von bolognia
<Seraphna> * Seraphna falls over.
<DeathStar> 6* Casandra watches them all: Her player goes - speaks german
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash pats Teddy's head. A for effort.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Hergestellt mit deutscher Ingenieurskunst. Dass man ist..."
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs his head
<DeathStar> <JOhn> Knock it off.
<DeathStar> <John> Basic, Basic!
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Sorry sweetie."
<DeathStar> <John> Good old English
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Johnny, you know better than to say Old English, she'll really do that next."
<DeathStar> 6* Pip finds an abandoned parking lot
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pouts.
<DeathStar> <John> She knows what I mean! We're not quite the level of that other reality where Basic means all languages combined!
<DeathStar> <John> Hence English!
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *leans over and kisses John*
<kalonZombie> 6*Pip lands in it
<Jackieness> <XX> "English is a Germanic language."
<Aqua> *Teddy rises "Is mean sounding."
<Aqua> Teddy> Russian better.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Depends on how you speak it.
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Uplink says Da to Teddy
<kalonZombie> <Ash> German, I mean.
<Aqua> *Teddy nods
<DeathStar> 6* As they land, people walk up, wearing clothing and aim weapons at them
<DeathStar> 6* They are a mix of reploids and humans, dirty and tired looking
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Ummm..."
<DeathStar> 6* Chou jerks and lowers the ramp and sticks her head out
<DeathStar> <Chou> Yo, yo, it's me!
<Aqua> Teddy> Hello!
<Aqua> *Teddy waves
<DeathStar> 6* Clo steps forward with her red hair, blinking - Kit can play a resistance member
<DeathStar> <Clo> C-Chou---!
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "You folks haven't seen a pair of big breasted ninja twins around have you?"
<DeathStar> 6* She hurries over on her legs, that make creeeeek sounds and hugs Chou
<DeathStar> 6* Bursting out crying
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I really need to fix those legs..."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> And if you have, please direct me to them
<DeathStar> 6* Chou gives out orders to tarp the shuttle as Katrina and Cassandra and John walk down
<Seraphna> * Seraphna and Elayne join them.
<kalonZombie> 6*Pip and Ash walks down
<DeathStar> <Clo> They are doing patrol...been having trouble.... Even Aloutte is looking into it
<Aqua> *Teddy moves off the shuttle
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Sounds like something we may have to help with then if my little girl is getting involved."
<Jackieness> <XX> *steps off of the shuttle*
<DeathStar> <Chou> Tell us back at the base. 6* Clo nods, still doing sobbing sounds, as the workers throw tarps over. John admires their speed
<DeathStar> 6* John grabs a crate from inside before it's covered and thumps it down
<DeathStar> <John> Food and supplies - Chou's orders
<Seraphna> * Seraphna smiles.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I made sure to get everything we could spare - Hunter Station has seen better years.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Thankfully, Iceheart doesn't seem to eat a lot
<Seraphna> Elayne> "We can always fish."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "You wouldn't mind an all fish diet."
<DeathStar> 6* Clo moves along, legs creaking, hecking the streets carefully, and John carries the crate. As they walk, Clo talks
<Seraphna> * Elayne sticks out her tongue.
<Aqua> *Teddy helps John
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Clo, I'm fixing those when I get a free moment."
<DeathStar> <Clo> The last few weeks, we been having a serious problem - at first we rhought it was the germans. *the other resistance people follow, sticking to the walls and streets, since large gorups stick out*
<DeathStar> 6* Clo smiles
<DeathStar> <Chou> What happened? <Clo> Dead female bodies - young women
<Jackieness> <XX> "The condition of the bodies?"
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns.
<Kit> 6An old face walks in, someone they fought before. http://images.wikia.com/megaman/images/1/16/Harpuia.png
<DeathStar> <Clo> Human and reploids alike, throats slashed, and their stomachs were just --- torn apart and opened, and their innards removed. The Nazis do nothing. The death count is around 8. It's been happening in the poorer neighborhoods where we operate, which is why I think they don't care.
<Aqua> Teddy> Is mysterious *Teddy switches to a sherlock holmes hat
<DeathStar> 6* John blinks at the person. "Hey, it's --- you."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Harupia."
<Kit> <Harpuia> I've scouted the areas from the air-- nothing to be seen.
<DeathStar> 6* John stares as they reach the area of the resistance base - kids playing and people trying to make food near the warf
<Kit> 6He pauses, narrowing his eyes. 1"You."
<DeathStar> <Clo> Thanks. Harpy
<DeathStar> <John> *raises hands* H-Hey, not here for a fight
<Jackieness> <XX> "Reminds me of... hostorical reference: Jack the Ripper."
<DeathStar> ,Chou> Hey, Harpunia. Been watching over Clo for me?
<Aqua> Teddy> Dah.
<Aqua> Teddy> Have been letters?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Mmm, Jack the Ripper targetting streetwalkers. Though they were young women."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Owch. A Ripper copycat?
<DeathStar> <Chou> Jack the what?
<DeathStar> <Clo> LEtters? No. Not that I know of.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "A serial killer from the late 1800s."
<Aqua> Teddy> Messages?
<DeathStar> <Chou> If there were letters, it would be taken by the Germans
<DeathStar> <Chou> They control such things
* Retrieving #ClassSession71 modes...
<Jackieness> <XX> "MO... throats slashed. Bodies vivisected. Place of occurrence: London."
<DeathStar> <John> Can't hurt to check out a crime scene
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Eight goes above the Ripper's agreed on murder count though, this one's excessive."
<Aqua> *Teddy nods in agreement, getting out a bubble pipe
<DeathStar> 6* Green hair zooms up
<DeathStar> <Atay> There's been another one
<Jackieness> <XX> "You're assuming the letters were genuine. Alot of... the word... Ripperologists, believed the letters were not written by the Ripper."
<DeathStar> <Atay> A few blocks from here - fresh. Nazis don't know it yret.
<Kit> 6Harpuia eyes them babbling, then just sighs and nods to Chou.
<DeathStar> 6* Chou peers at Harpunia
<Kit> <Harpuia> I haven't found Leviathan... but perhaps in time.
<Aqua> *Teddy moves to check it out
<Seraphna> * Anyata tilts her head, having zoomed in. "We should go and look now before they catch on."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Good. We can look it over before they mess with it.
<DeathStar> <Chou> I didn't see anything about her in my travels around the world, but Senreich has been experimenting with other benigs
<DeathStar> 6* ATay plays with her purple hair
<DeathStar> <Atay> Uh, Teddy? Good to see you guys, but shouldn't we ---take you there?
<DeathStar> <John> So chances are the letters are bogus, great.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Yes, may be good to go now."
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive in a back alley - before them is a female woman, 19, throat slashed and stomach ripped open, clothed dirty and not well perserved. The work looks like it was done with almost - glee. John stares at it a long time, peering at it
<DeathStar> 6* There's even some splatter about on the ground around her
<DeathStar> 6* The work is surgical, but the blood splashing shows - revelery.
<Aqua> *Teddy looks around with a magnifying glass, looking at the splatter
<Seraphna> * Elayne looks more at John than the murder scene, considering something. Seraphna frowns and sniffs about. "Blood... but what else..."
<kalonZombie> <Pip> Oh god I'm gonna be sick...
<DeathStar> 6* There's a partial footprint, just partial - but the footprint is unlike any shoe time that is normal, like it was made of something very odd
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina turns away, looking ill
<Jackieness> <XX> *lips twitch slightly* "Anything Inspector Bear?"
<kalonZombie> 6*Pip leads Kat out since he can't stomach this either, despite being a Reploid
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pulls out a datapad and runs scans as she keeps sniffing, she analyzes the footprint.
<Aqua> Teddy> Is foot print...might be reploid.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I need to look - I might can identify if it's reploid
<DeathStar> 6* Clo isn't looking, eyes covered. Chou stares, trembling in anger
<Jackieness> <XX> "Seraphna, please get an image of the footprint for Katrina on your datapad."
<DeathStar> <Chou> So Jack the Ripper - was he immoortal or something?
<kalonZombie> 6*Pip sighs but nods
<Aqua> Teddy> Nyet, copy cat
<Jackieness> <XX> "JAck the Ripper is famous because the killer was never identified. The mystery is what sustains the legend."
<Aqua> Teddy> Was probably surgeon, probably afluent.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna flicks her finger and Katrina gets the image on her own datapad.
<Aqua> Teddy> Almost certainly male.
<Aqua> Teddy> Can assume same applies
<Aqua> Teddy> Someone with knowledge of surgery.
<Seraphna> * Elayne peers around quietly, she cracks her knuckles.
<Aqua> Teddy> Almost certainly affluent, come here, avoid suspicions
<Aqua> Teddy> Men almosy always serial killers
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "It's possible Senreich brought back others, or Wind's revival brought back people out of time but..."
<Kit> 6Harpuia stays at their rear, getting a look himself and remaining quiet, ever looking disdainful and somewhat fierce like the hawk or valkyrie he must have been modelled after
<Aqua> Teddy> Most not jump to irrational.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Some Ripper suspects have included medical doctors. However, this was more of a pop cultural obssession of trying to identify the Ripper with a notable figure."
<Aqua> Teddy> Doubtful, if was notable would not of left bodies out.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies it
<DeathStar> <John> *circles, still silent*
<Aqua> Teddy> Guess is nazi or english doctor or surgeon.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's not reploid, TEddy.
<Aqua> Teddy> What is then?
<Seraphna> Elayne> "John... I'm not sure it's..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... I'm guessing - but human flesh ---
<DeathStar> <Chou> He's wearing human flesh boots?!
<DeathStar> 6* Atay zooms up
<Jackieness> <XX> "...is it that serial killer that once held you, KAtrina?"
<DeathStar> <Atay> I can't find Aloutte anywhere
<Aqua> *Teddy deadpans at Chou.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna looks up, eyes going wide. "Wh-What?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina swallows slowly, and her breathing goes heavier
<DeathStar> 6* John kneels, eyeing the body and touchingt the wounds
<DeathStar> <John> XX has nailed it
<kalonZombie> 6*Pip blinks, moving over to Kat and rubbing her back
<Seraphna> Elayne> "...Ghoul..."
<DeathStar> 6* John swings his finger along the cut. "I'll never forget this work. "Cut. Cut. Cut."
<Aqua> Teddy> Who?
<DeathStar> <Atay> She's not where she was meant to be patrolling
<DeathStar> 6* John snaps his head up
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "W-We have to find her. That man is sick."
<DeathStar> <John> *his face pales, no doubt recalling last time the man had one of his daughters - she died*
<Jackieness> <XX> "How many times can this creaure die?"
<Aqua> Teddy> Will be on hunt.
<Aqua> Teddy> Need picture.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "We didn't kill him... he got away from us twice..."
<DeathStar> 6* John slowly brings up a picture of a man who has sown, literally, a happy flesh mask onto his face, has knives surgically impanted into his hands
<kalonZombie> <Ash> We don't let him get away a third time then.
<DeathStar> 6* And looks lean, ghoulish, and cannibalistic just in body language
<DeathStar> <Chou> I hate to be rude, but no woman would let this thing near them
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We... have to approach this carefully and think. He sets traps. But we cannot take long, if he took her, he won't wait it out."
<Jackieness> <XX> "IF we run him to ground, he will have traps."
<Kit> <Harpuia> Give me the route, and I'll search from the air
<DeathStar> <Atay> It has to be near.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "He employs gasses, drugs, traps, other people."
<Aqua> *Teddy pads off on all fours, sniffing for a scent
<Jackieness> <XX> "All the killings, can you map them?"
<DeathStar> <John> If this is following JAck the RIpper, he might be playing a game - so there might be letters. The nazis control the media, right?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Of course they do."
<DeathStar> 6* Clo nods, not facing still and takes a map of the area
<DeathStar> ,Chou> Yeah. I can take you there
<DeathStar> <John> Do it. I want to see if there's letters while the others track scents
<DeathStar> 6* Atay moves with Harpuia
<DeathStar> <Atay> This way, I'll point it out
<DeathStar> 6* John walks with Chou, heading for the media play
<DeathStar> *plce
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Elayne, go with him, use that technique if there are letters, he had to touch the paper."
<Seraphna> * Elayne nods and heads after John.
<Kit> 6Harpuia nods, taking ahold of Atay as he activates his repulsors to fly.
<kalonZombie> <Pip> You going to be okay, Kat?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns a little. "Let's go."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Harupia, don't you think flying will sort of give you away?"
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> Yes. I'll go to the media place, too.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina head out
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> (Okay, those going to the media will go first, those searching after)
<DeathStar> 6* Chou pauses near a brick wall, built 10 years ago, and a large media building, the Aryian Gazette. The original building has a historic feel, dating back who knows how far back
<DeathStar> 6* There's no real security at the gate, just two smoes talking to each other, side pistols in hostles - no other real armor
<Seraphna> * Elayne peers it over, fitting the name of the Gazette.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks over, in her uniform and points
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *poor German accent* I ze needing to get in
<kalonZombie> 6*Pip went with this group, the other group getting Ash, since we switched too fast for me to say
<DeathStar> <Smoe 1> Uh, y-yes ma'am! 6* Her shivers at Katrina's glare. John walks up and past them, without even lookiing, and Katrina follows, arms crossed
<Seraphna> * Elayne walks with them without looking as well.
<DeathStar> 6* John keeps his German cap down, and Katrina walks like his body guard, glaring at nothing
<DeathStar> 6* He waits for them to open the door for him, and Katrina yanks it open with a smart snap. John steps in
<kalonZombie> 6*Pip blinks, following Katrina, wearing a uniform as well
<Seraphna> * Elayne walks beside him, like an assistant.
<DeathStar> 6* John marches along to the archive area and begins to look through it
<kalonZombie> 6*Pip helps to look through it as well
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits at the computer, moving through the terminals, and finally finds some letters - they're written messily, mocking tone of the original Jack the Rippers. They seem to make no sense, either
<DeathStar> 6* The computer lists the letters as being in Section D-Box34A
<DeathStar> 6* John gets up and heads down the stairs, and comes back up with it and opens it
<DeathStar> 6* The letters are bagged, with little care, and he tosses it out, one for each victim
<DeathStar> <John> *whispering* Can you anaylze it for any clues?
<Seraphna> * Elayne nods and does a scan over it. "I could... touch one too while focusing my psionics, try to see any psychic trails attached."
<Seraphna> Elayne> "It usually works when associated to violence."
<Seraphna> * Elayne peers at the scan as she talks, trying to pick up traces, fingerprints, etc.
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Of course with a freak like him, I'm likely not going to sleep for a week after."
<DeathStar> 6* John studies Elayne
<kalonZombie> 6*Pip watches
<DeathStar> 6* Elayne gets flashes, and horrific images, there seeing the women gutted, and the pleasure and euphoriea, and sent into a nightmare tunnel of laughing, smiling faces, twirling and chomping head and chewing her out, but for a brief moment, she sees a doctor's office with 1823
<Seraphna> * Elayne goes to a knee, heaving, she shudders. "One Eight Two Three."
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses, eyeing the letters, as he picks up Elayne, and sees they say, on the first letter: Hello Jay
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Atay peers about the area, while Teddy's scent takes him along. Clo timidly follows
<Kit> <Harpuia> Nothing above." 6He sighs.
<Jackieness> <XX> *walks along as Teddy continues to lead*
<DeathStar> 6* Soon they both spot what appears to be Alouette's tiny figure in an abandoned building, and Atay points it out - the angle not good to see
<DeathStar> 6* Teddy can smell her scent going inside.
<Seraphna> * Anyata peers about, having joined up with them after a sweep, Seraphna sniffs around. She frowns.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Hm.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "No teleporting. We move with care. It will be trapped."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Right.
<Kit> <Harpuia> Atay, Clo, stay behind me.
<Aqua> *Teddy sniffs and looks around "Is trapped."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna keeps sniffing as she slowly moves for the building, keeping an eye out for traps, trip wires, anything.
<Jackieness> <XX> "No surprise."
<DeathStar> 6* Clo nods
<DeathStar> 6* And shifts back behind. Atay tenses
<DeathStar> 6* So far there seems to be nothing on the outside of the building. The figure remains still - then wiggles once
<DeathStar> 6* Then moves out of sight further in
<DeathStar> <Clo> Oh dear--
<DeathStar> <Atay> We should bust in the front door or window with our speed!
<Aqua> *Teddy checks the door carefully
<Jackieness> <XX> "Trapped and trapped."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Atay, no.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "I tried that once and nearly got impaled in a spike trap."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Flying hatchets after a teleport here."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Harupia, Clo, make a circle around the building, check the exits, any others but this entrance, seal them."
<DeathStar> 6* The door is untrapped as Teddy opens it - there's a female scream inside
<Seraphna> * Seraphna shivers, moving after Teddy. "Do it. And watch them. He must not escape this time."
<DeathStar> 6* Clo nods and moves to do so with Harpuia
<DeathStar> <Atay> Grrrr.
<Seraphna> * Anyata moves forward after Sera and Teddy.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash follows Sera and Teddy as well
<Jackieness> <XX> *moves after Sera* "What about subterranean exits... again?"
<Kit> 6Harpuia treks silently around the back
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "As we scout the first floor, look for access."
<DeathStar> 6* Then suddenlly - the scream changes, more intense and real sounding, and not Alouette's
<DeathStar> 6* Coming from inside the first floor
<DeathStar> 6* Clo peers at the back door
<DeathStar> 6* The back windows are closed with curtains
<DeathStar> 6* Atay looks ready to enter the front door
<Aqua> *Teddy blinks and tries to burst through the wall
<DeathStar> 6* Then blionks as Teddy busts through.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna blinks a bit at that tactic. "I must remember we didn't have Teddy last time."
<Aqua> *Teddy roars loudly, looking around
<Jackieness> <XX> "Maybe Ghoul isn't epecting a Bear?"
<kalonZombie> <Ash> And that will be his downfall.
<DeathStar> 6* Teddy busts in and finds a woman wearing Alouette's clothing and 5 Nazis with high powered weapons; one is yanking the woman's hair. They turn from the door and jerk, and fire a roacket into Teddy, hitting him in the chest and blasting his armor badly, but also vaporizing him and knocking all of them down from impact
<DeathStar> 6* The four remaining Nazis grab at their weapons
<DeathStar> (by vaporizing him, I mean the Nazi)
<Aqua> *Teddy reels and goes sailing back
<DeathStar> 6* Atay watches Teddy sail back out the hole
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash groans, shooting his buster at a Nazi as he gets up
<Seraphna> * Anyata blurs as she hits her speed and goes for one of them, slicing as soon as she closes in. Seraphna shifts around Teddy as he sails and thrusts hr fist, wind punching another.
<DeathStar> 6* The Nazi is hit and his sides explode outward in gooey chiunks
<Jackieness> <XX> *leaps and then fires her buster at another one of the Nazis*
<Aqua> *Teddy jumps back up and charges the fourth nazi, slashingnout with his bear claws
<Kit> 6Harpuia activates his jets and kicks in the backdoor, drawing out both sabers.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Don't kill the one I'm after."
<DeathStar> 6* Ash blows the second's head side and his inside shoots gooy bits all over the girl and and Anyata dashes ina nd dices the third up, and XX shoots the fourth, blasting him through the backdoor into Harpuria's saber, impaling him. Atay then stabs the last before TEddy can get back up, his chest sparking
<DeathStar> 6* The woman shakes, looking around
<DeathStar> <Atay> .. *she zooms up to the second floor and around, then abck* No traps, no Ghoul
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns, moving over towards her. "Girl... what happened? Why are you in those clothes?"
<Aqua> Teddy> Is decoy
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Fuck.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Then the Nazis are involved."
<Kit> <Harpuia> We've been had." 6He deactivates both sabers
<DeathStar> <Young woman> I-I was told to wear this and come here for coin, ma-am. The nazis arrived and said I-I'd be paid to help ca-capture bad people
<DeathStar> <Clo> D-Double darn
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Do NOT make assumptions."
<DeathStar> 6* Clo looks up as her makeshift device beeps
<DeathStar> <Clo> Chou is sending a message. The others found an address
<Aqua> *Teddy sits, whining
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Ghoul seems to have made this a red herring. Let's head to them."
<DeathStar> 6* Clo peers at chest. "Good thing Cass is at the base and not in there."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Teddy, are you still able to function?"
<Seraphna> * Seraphna examines Teddy's chest, she grabs a tool from her belt and stops the sparking.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "He's good, the systems for him aren't located in the chest due to the transport system installed."
<DeathStar> 6* The woman moves off, miserible - no coin, hair pulled...
<Aqua> *Teddy nods "Dah"
<Aqua> *He rises onto all four
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Let's move. Damnit... Elayne, make sure he stays safe..."
<DeathStar> 6* Clo gets on his back and points ahead
<DeathStar> <Clo> This way!
<DeathStar> <Clo> We're close!
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> 6* John peers, in the middle class area of London, more Nazis about, but a lot of London gentlee too who have adopted and made a way of life, too. The hot summer air about. Trees of cum smelling. Hiho.
<DeathStar> 6* He studies a doctor's office that looks fancy and nice, currently closed, to the dismay of many proper British ladies
<DeathStar> <John> I'm kicking in the door
<DeathStar> 6* John moves to walk across the street.
<Seraphna> * Elayne frowns. "We can open it quieter than that John."
<DeathStar> <Chou> There he goes. <Katrina> J-John
<Seraphna> * Elayne moves with him.
<DeathStar> <John> Tired of waiting
<kalonZombie> <Pip> I... uh... I should stay behind.
<kalonZombie> <Pip> I'm no good at fighting, I'd get in the way.
<Seraphna> * Elayne moves in front of him heading for the door. "So we move in ahead of the others. But we need the jump on him, love."
<DeathStar> 6* Clo rides up on Teddy
<DeathStar> <Clo> Clo ho!
<DeathStar> <Chou> Oh gosh
<Seraphna> * Elayne peers over the door's lock as she reaches it.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash runs up with Teddy
<DeathStar> 6* The door lock looks simple steampunk London
<Jackieness> <XX> "Do we at least have a plan?"
<Seraphna> * Elayne does a casual check when she reaches the door and moves as if to unlock the door with a key, her hand holding one of Sera's multitools, she sticks it in the keyhold and hits a button, it uses small pinpick feelers to match the keyhole and she tries to unlock it with the device.
<Kit> 6Harpuia looks up and levitates up to the roof, watching like a hawk
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers around. "Same plan, we need people to check for other exits."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> On it. 6*He moves to check
<DeathStar>  6* The door unlocks and reveals a fancy doctor's lobby/waiting area. There's signs there about keeping healthy, and women pictures about having a doctor examine you
<DeathStar> 6* Clo moves around back, too
<DeathStar> 6* Chou and John walk in. Katrina rubs her throat as she walks in, looking around
<Jackieness> <XX> *walks in as well*
<Seraphna> * Elayne steps in, peering for traps or other such, Seraphna frowns, she peers about keeping a watch.
<DeathStar> 6* The next door, likely to the back offices, is shut, and there's a window/counter one can slide to bypass it where a person likely takes patients; forums
<DeathStar> 6* There's faint noises somewhere in the building
<Aqua> *Teddy follows
<Seraphna> * Elayne works the counter window open, peers for traps again and if clear, poofs baby dragon to hop through, moving carefully.
<DeathStar> 6* John slides over it
<DeathStar> 6* Chou slides over it
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks around and rolls over it and lands, and checks the computer for various patients
<Seraphna> * Elayne hovers in the air and peers around, she glides over to the nearest door silently.
<Jackieness> <XX> *slips over the counter too*
<DeathStar> 6* The noises come from the last room, on the far left - there's many other rooms; as John heads that way, the door opens, and a handsome man who's clearly had some work done on his face steps out, and studies them with haunting dark eyes, and smiles, the smile not reaching them
<DeathStar> <Doctor> I'm afraid this isn't appointment hours
<DeathStar> 6* He slides his hands into his pockets
<DeathStar> 6* His voice is a little raw, but has a british accent
<Seraphna> * Elayne frowns and exerts TK on him, attempting to hold him still.
<DeathStar> 6* The man blinks, and frowns. "Excuse me? What are you doing?"
<Seraphna> * Anyata slides through and moves after the others.
<DeathStar> 6* John walks by the man slowly
<Seraphna> * Elayne brushes his mind a little, wondering if she'll feel something similar to what she did before.
<DeathStar> 6* His mind feels like a blank
<DeathStar> <Doctor> If you people do not identify yourselves right now---
<Aqua> Teddy moves over and sniffs him
<DeathStar> 6* Despite his words, his tone lacks a proper sense of urgency. John reaches for the last door and a slight curl to his lips forms, even as Teddy sniffs him. The scent familiar to Teddy
<Jackieness> <XX> "Identify yourself first, please."
<DeathStar> <Doctor> Of course---I'm Doctor Ghelian
<DeathStar> 6* Chou and Katrina study him as Katrina studies his schedule and begins to thin in her head to the murder dates. John begins to open the door
<Jackieness> <XX> "And what are you a doctor of, exactly?"
<DeathStar> <Doctor Ghelian> Surgery. And delivery.
<DeathStar> 6* John opens the door, the curl upward on his lips still there
<Jackieness> <XX> "What type of surgery?"
<DeathStar> 6* John spots something that makes him step in the room, pulling his blaster out and then suddenly there's an explosion in the back of the area
<Kit> <Harpuia> <C> Chou-- is everything alright..?!
<Seraphna> Elayne> *frowns and reinforces her hold, Anyata speeds to get to the door*
<DeathStar> 6* Chou jerks and Ghelian drops from the explosion, pulling out sharp knives. He jabs them into Teddy's exposed areas, short circuiting his movements
<Aqua> *Teddy welps
<Seraphna> * Elayne exerts force, trying to slame Ghoul to the ground.
<Aqua> Yelps*
<DeathStar> 6* He then throws blades at XX and Elayne as she tries
<Jackieness> <XX> *leaps in, punching toward Ghoul's head*
<Seraphna> * Anyata forms her blade and slashes at him sinec she was speeding his way.
<Seraphna> * Elayne breaks her concetration to TK grab the blades coming at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Ghelian is cut, his lab cut flying up, revealing armor, and he takes the punch as the knives hit XX
<DeathStar> 6* The armor is low class, and tactical - not thick
<Aqua> *Teddy attempts to move and tackle him
<Seraphna> * Anyata shifts instantly into a second attack, her Zero Point Strike at his side.
<DeathStar> 6* Allowing movement. Ghelian taps a button on his vest as Chou tells Harpuia what happened
<DeathStar> 6* As Anyata moves, the ceiling opens and an attic staircase falls down on her head
<Kit> 6Harpuia flies over and kicks through the window.
<Jackieness> <XX> *takes the blade in her shoulder as she tries to get aher arms around Ghoul*
<Seraphna> * Anyata grunts but releases the blade so it flies at him as she goes falling abck.
<DeathStar> 6* Spitting out blood from the punch, he turns to climb up when he's kicked over the counter, and Katrina and Chou move up around him, aiming weapons, and XX grabns him
<DeathStar> 6* Atay, meanwhile, zooms into the flaming room
<Seraphna> * Elayne rushes after Atay into the room.
<Aqua> Teddy> Ash, knives, take them out
<DeathStar> 6* Chou yelps as the blade gets her from Anyata
<DeathStar> <Chou> Shit fuck
<Seraphna> * Anyata pulls herself up, the energy blade dissapates. "Sorry."
<Kit> 6Harpuia goes to cleave it, but may be slow
<DeathStar> 6* Ghelia reaches into his belt as they all come in close and pulls out explosives
<DeathStar> 6* He twists and drops them on the floor, armed, at Teddy's feed
<DeathStar> *feet
<Seraphna> * seraphna having waited outside, moves to the door.
<Jackieness> <XX> *then punches at the base of Ghoul's spine with all of her strength*
<Kit> 6Harpuia has a blade to his throat in a split second to prevent him from doing anything with the explosives.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a crack and Ghelian twists like a snack from it
<Aqua> *Teddy roars. Helpless
<DeathStar> 6* The explosives, already armed, begin to flash. Chou kicks Teddy on top of them
<DeathStar> 6* Letting him topple over
<DeathStar> <Katrina> EVeryone---
<Aqua> *Teddy blinks
<DeathStar> 6* There's a boom and Teddy lights up and is sent into the ceiling, his right arm dislocated and chest more damaged, but thankfully being so open for Cass, no vital organs there
<DeathStar> 6* Atay zooms out with Alouette, who's burnt
<Seraphna> * Elayne in the room looks for John.
<DeathStar> 6* On the ground is a burnt form of John
<Aqua> *Teddy whines in pain
<DeathStar> <Chou> You or us
<DeathStar> 6* Ghelian remains on the ground, crippled it seems
<Seraphna> * Elayne rushes to him and glows violently with Lunarian Healing, using her super heal on him as she drags him out.
<DeathStar> <Ghelian> *licks his bloody lips at XX* I'm in love
<Kit> 6Harpuia stabs Ghelian in a non-fatal spot, twitching
<Jackieness> <XX> *stands then yanks Ghoul up off the floor* "Pain let's you know you're still alive."
<DeathStar> 6* John is dragged out, 80% burns all over him, and most of them serious
<DeathStar> 6* Ghelian laughs at the stab
<DeathStar> <Chou> I thought you guys said he was an ugly fuck
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> He did plastic surgery
<Jackieness> <XX> "Plastic surgery. See to john. See to Teddy."
<Seraphna> * Elayne's move usually heals most damage in a go, but she pumps even more energy into it to at least get him stable. Seraphna moves over Ghoul, her hand forming into a claw.
<Kit> 6Harpuia stabs him with the other saber two, deadpanned.
<DeathStar> 6* John's burns seem to be staying, whatever was in the explosion seems to keep eroding the flesh
<Kit> <Harpuia> You are a despicable being. I should let these burn your insides until you die of fever.
<Seraphna> * Elayne keeps up the healing and Seraphna rushes to help her, "S-Something's in that burns!"
<DeathStar> 6* The healing seems to have kept him alive for now, in pain
<Jackieness> <XX> "Take them out. What did you put into that blast?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kneels by Ghelian, and suddenly aims her blaster against his head, and pulls it, splattering Ghoul's head all over the floor. She fires again - and again - and again, face blank
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He'd never tell
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holsters her gun
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Look for ice in this place, and lets get him cold. We have a doctor's office, make use of it - the Nazis will be here soon to investigate
<DeathStar> 6* Atay checks on Alouette's burns - she has the same kind on her arm only thankfull
<Seraphna> * Elayne pants, Seraphna, more cold about these things, starts weaving something of wind about John's body. "Use the Healing in the Wind, we'll create a field to preserve him till we can stasis him and counteract the acid or whatever it is."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Watch out for more traps." *glances at the attic stairs*
<Aqua> *Teddy tries to rises and falls over pathetically
<DeathStar> 6* Chou nods and closes the attic stairs
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina then begins to yank out the knives on Teddy and works on repairs to at least let him walk
<Jackieness> <XX> "Oh, and make sure the body is watched. I don't want a cliffhanger ending where his body has disappeared."
<Seraphna> * Elayne nods and helps and they make a sort of wind healing charm around John, Seraphna grabbing something to wrap him in and lift him up.
<Aqua> Teddy> Thank you.
<DeathStar> -END SCENE-
<DeathStar> 6* Later, at the hide out--
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pours gas all over Ghelian's body
<Aqua> *Teddy limps over and lies down
<DeathStar> 6* John remains in a stasis field that is run by gas that has to be refilled by the resistance. Clo pats hers sympathetically. Alouette is up, her arm wrapped up in soothing bandages
<DeathStar> 6* Resistance members and Cassandra repair Teddy with the supplies John brought
<Kit> 6Harpuia is peering at Katrina.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lights a match and tosses it on Ghelian, setting him on fire on a pyre.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Burn, fucker.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna is working on a sample of John to determine the chemical eroding to find a counteragent. Elayne sits looking dead tired from all she did this adventure. She stares at John in stasis.
<kalonZombie> <Pip> Good... he's gone now.
<DeathStar> 6* She hasn't even wiped the blood off her boots.
<Jackieness> <XX> *topless with bandaged around the knife wounds in her shoulder and wrapped around her breasts just because* "Are you sure this Ghoul wasn't a clone or soemthing?"
<Aqua> Teddy> Spasibo
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Providing we get something to counteract it, or synthesize something... the healing should restore him after, if you use the Elder Healing."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> There was a copycat of him briefly
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That did a lot of damage
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Either way, if we got one of them, I'm good
<Seraphna> * Elayne cracks her knuckles again, flexing fingers that Ghoul once cut off her hand.
<Jackieness> <XX> "Anyone find any evidence in his medical office?"
<kalonZombie> 6*Pip nods "You should go change."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches the pyre, seeming to be convinced this was the original Ghoul - the copycat - if he's ever tempted to be Ghoul again, will know that the serial killer he aped is dead
<Seraphna> * Seraphna keeps working, looking like she won't rest until she finds something.
<DeathStar> <Chou> Yeah, the computer said days he was off was the days he killed. Apparantly the alliance you guys talked about fell apart after Senreich got power. The Maverick-Ghoul-Nazi one
<DeathStar> <Chou> So maybe this was Ghoul's way of thumbing it at the Nazis and being a pain - killing in Senreich's backyard.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods to Pip and moves off
<DeathStar> 6* Alouette sits with Seraphna and leans on her
<Jackieness> <XX> "What I wonder about is what he did between murder sprees..."
<DeathStar> <Chou> Nothing about that - he apparantly set up shop 3 years ago
<kalonZombie> 6*Pip moves to sit.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna wraps an arm around her. "It occurs to me... Ghoul doesn't set traps that let the bait live... John did something to keep you safe, didn't he?"
<DeathStar> <Alouette> He threw himself on me.
<DeathStar> <Alouette> IT was like he knew what was going to happen
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sighs, smiling a bit. "Ever the hero... well... let's work hard to fix him up."
