<DeathStar> The Hunt For Wind Finale
<DeathStar> Date: 7.21.2240
<DeathStar> 6* PAst midnight, the sounds of fighting and noises can be heard on the noble streets as the two noble clans begin to clash, and the innocent rich ponces caught in the middle take the full blunt of it
* Aqua has joined #ClassSession73
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra peers out, while Uplink drinks Vodka, Edi chiding him from his datapad. Chou adjusts her tactical suit
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns. "Well... I'd say things are about in full swing now."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Yup.
<Aqua> Teddy> Dah
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> The others are waiting in the sewers; everyone ready?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna nods, securing her things.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash nods "Let's go, Cass."
* Yuriye has joined #ClassSession73
<Aqua> *Teddy nods
<DeathStar> 6* Uplink moves to the back and drunkenly tries to lift the manhole
<DeathStar> <Uplink> Ungggh!
<DeathStar> 6* The weak little russian nerd strains, not lifting it an inch
<DeathStar> <Edi> Sad
<Aqua> *Teddy moves and helps him
<DeathStar> 6* Outside, rich people can be see fleeing the two rich sides, and Nazi troops are rolling in trying to maintain order
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Poor Uplink
<DeathStar> 6* Uplink is lifted with the manhole thanks to Teddy
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves under him to catch
<Seraphna> * Seraphna contains a smile and moves over for it, she peers in for signs of trouble, then makes her way down.
<DeathStar> 6* Uplink sighs in relief
<Aqua> *Teddy climbs down
<DeathStar> 6* The aquaducts of London rush by as they land on the sidelines. Rats skitter around and other things. Katrina lands by Seraphna, turning on a headlight. Cassandra lands and looks about, making a face
<DeathStar> 6* She climbs onto Teddy's back, a girly squeal at a rat climbing over her foot
<DeathStar> 6* Chou swings down
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers around and looks down at the rats. "Hmm."
<Aqua> *Teddy blinks, turning on hia eyelights
<kalonZombie> <Ash> They're just rash.
<DeathStar> 6* Chou takes the lead, moving along. Cass gives her second father figure the look of a piratey death
<kalonZombie> *rats
<Aqua> Teddy> Rats carry disease. *Teddy follows
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves along carefully after Chou.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash follows
<DeathStar> 6* Chou begins to the twists and turns of the underground labyrinth. Katrina follows silently, her headlight shining along the path as the waters wash by. Up ahead they spot the reploid twins waiting on them
<DeathStar> <Atay> About time
<Aqua> *Teddy waves "Hello"
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Sorry, had to start a war.
<Seraphna> * Anyata makes a peace sign.
<DeathStar> 6* Atay looks about as Chou leads them along and kneels, pointing ahead toward where the aquaducts have been barred ahead
<DeathStar> <Chou> Electrified, and beyond that is where the royal palace is at
<DeathStar> <Atay> There's likely guards down here, too
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers at the bars. "So tearing them off isn't a great plan, energy weapons? Or are there sensors?"
<Aqua> Teddy> In sewers?
<Seraphna> Anyata> "There are always sensors."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Always.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not ncessarily
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *She points at the rats*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If there were sensors too low to the ground, the rats would set them off
<DeathStar> <Chou> So the sensors are likely higher up on the bars?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna nods. "Mmm... that they would."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers up for any.
<DeathStar> 6* A rat walks up to the bars and gets fried and cooked
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Welp.
<DeathStar> 6* There are some three feet off the ground and spaced
<Seraphna> * Seraphna points them out. "There, sensors."
<DeathStar> <Atay> So we just disabled the bars and cut them down - Teddy goes in the water
<DeathStar> 6* Atay points in the muck, which is deep enough for Teddy to even go under them
<Aqua> *Teddy whines a bit
<DeathStar> 6* Cass pats
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I'll clean you after Teddy."
<DeathStar> 6* Atay moves to the bars and ponders
<DeathStar> <Atay> If only we had Null to drain them
<DeathStar> <Atay> Don't suppose the green guy drains energy? *She eyes Levianthan*
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Don't think so.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Hrm... Ice and Water abilities, I believe. We could try shorting it out."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm. We could ALL use the muck probably
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina notes, peering at the waters
<DeathStar> <Katrina. I doubt it's electrified in there, or the water would be dangerous
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I'm not afraid to get a little dirty."
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> No. I don't.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I'm willing to get mucked up.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pulls out her saber that is shaped like DS' and leaps in, submerging , the only sign of her in it being the light of it, and begins to cut the bars
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> If it's electrified, I can handle it.
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> .... gross
<Yuriye> 6He drops down after Katrina.
<Seraphna> * Anyata leaps in, Seraphna waitsa moment, watching from where they all were.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina weakens the first tow bars, letting others yank them out
<DeathStar> 6* She then surfaces for airs, leaving the last two for another to cut
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash yanks the first tow bar out
<Seraphna> * Anyaa steps up and forms an energy blade, cutting.
<DeathStar> 6* Anyata weakens the last two
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra mutters and leaps in, as does Chou, her pink hair flaoting about
<Aqua> *Teddy moves in
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia draws one of his two and slices the last, grabbing to yank them out
<Seraphna> * Seraphna hops in after the others.
<DeathStar> 6* As the bars are removed from their way, Cassandra and Katrina submerge and swim under the sensors to the other side, then climb back up
<DeathStar> 6* Dripping water and other muck
<DeathStar> 6* Chou and Atay hurry and do the same
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash hurries to do the same
<Aqua> *Teddy does the same
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia wades to the other side and leaps out next to Katrina
<Seraphna> * Seraphna climbs back up with them, she then poofs into a baby and back again, most of the muck falling away. Anyata climbs out, looking a bit stoic.
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> Good thinking.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> There's water purifers that fall down in here, we can find one and clean up later
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods to Harpuia, moving along slowly down the tunnel after Chou who takes the lead
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash follows
<kalonZombie> <Ash> So glad I can turn my smell receptors off
<DeathStar> 6* She leads them to a L shape bend, where they hear Nazi guards talking in German about their dear mothers
<Aqua> *Teddy looks disgruntled with the filth on him
<DeathStar> 6* The two of them holding large blasters, backs turned as they share smokes
<Seraphna> * Seraphna remains wordless, since her own senses are acute and dragonlike. She peers and then shifts behind cover again, signalling that there's two not looking.
<DeathStar> 6* Atay, unaware of German, thinks they are talking about world domination. She forms her weapons and prepares to speed at them
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash runs towards them and tries to bash their heads against each other to knock them out
<DeathStar> <German 1> Ah yes, I am two days from retirement, then I can use my pay to help my dear mama
<Seraphna> * Seraphna goes to signal a silent knock out, and pauses as they rush in.
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> ...
<DeathStar> 6* They pause as Ash bashes their heads together, and Atay rushes in after them as they grunt together, preparing to stab them
<Seraphna> Anyata> <Knock out sis, they have families.>
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash stops her
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina rolls in and looks both ways for more or cameras.
<DeathStar> <Atay> But they're Nazis
<kalonZombie> <Ash> They're helping their moms with the money they're getting.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Leave 'em be.
<DeathStar> 6* Atay mumbles, doing the eye point at the bodies
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Soldiers are just soldiers. Let's move along."
<DeathStar> 6* Chou shrugs at Atay as they walk by and Katrina moves down the tunnel - some water is gushing in from above and Katrina slips in under it to let it wash her off
<Seraphna> * Anyata moves over and inspects the bodies.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra hurries under another
<DeathStar> 6* Anyata finds ID and a comm
<Aqua> *Teddy follows
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves under another
<Seraphna> * Anyata takes them and passes the comm to Seraphna so she can set it to listen in quietly. The two then join the others to wash off.
<DeathStar> 6* Atay and Chou wash up
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna can hear, occassionally, report checks of guard posts. 3 minutes later when they get nearer to the their entry point, the guard post they posted doesn't check in and reinforcements are sent out to check it
<Aqua> *Teddy washes off
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead, a door opens and Chou motions to a doorway for aquaduct workers
<Seraphna> * Seraphna whispers. "Reinforcements coming in to check that post. Move."
<DeathStar> <Chou> Quick
<DeathStar> 6* Chou tries to open it, finding it locked
<Seraphna> * Seraphna and Anya head for it. Sera frowns and checks the lock.
<DeathStar> 6* Nazi guards begin to head down the tunnel toward them
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves over, taking out lockpicks and working on it
<DeathStar> 6* Ash manages to unlock it and a small worker room is found; DS' people crowd in
<kalonZombie> <Ash> You learn some things after a decade of being a pirate
<Seraphna> * Sera and Anya step in.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash crowds in with them
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra nods approvingly
<Seraphna> * Anya yanks Harupia into it.
<Aqua> *Teddy crowds I'm
<Aqua> I
<Aqua> In
<DeathStar> 6* The Nazis walk by and continue on. Chou counts steps, then leans out after creaking the door, seeing no sign of them, then slowly steps out, pointing at the door they used
<DeathStar> <Chou> That leads up to the basement of the palace through hidden worker passages that the Nazis use
<DeathStar> <Chou> Hopefully with the patrol having gone down, the traps will be off for a few mins if we book it
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Let's move it then."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's a gamble, but one I will take
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Let's go for it
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves for it.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves quickly down the slippery aquaduct passage, the water quieting as they get closer to the door and tries it, finding it locked like the other - no doubt the Nazis locking it after the patrol left
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra keeps an eye for them returning - but according to the comm they haven't reached the post yet.
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> Another pickjob?
<DeathStar> 6* Atay spins her weapon
<Seraphna> * Seraphna takes her turn with the lock,using a multitool to pick it.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves after Kat for it
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna manages to crack it. Chou peers at her. "Not bad for once."
<DeathStar> 6* She opens it and moves up the old stairs and blinking lightbulb that needs to be changed
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Don't jinx it." *she moves after her, Anya follows*
<DeathStar> 6* Atay follows them, and Cassandra sticks with Teddy as they move up the cramped worker tunnel toward the surface. Chou eyes the map Uplink did, and they pass various sensors and stuff that are turned off
<DeathStar> 6* As they reach an open area, one way heading to what is likely the normal exit workers would take, she pauses, trying to make sense of the map to find the passage that goes to the palace
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Thank idiots for small favors, eh? 6*He says quirtly as he follows
<Seraphna> * Seraphna keeps an eye on them as they move along. Anyata peers at the map and calculates a path for them according to it.
<DeathStar> <Comm> Patrol to security, the guard post is unconscious - we have vipers in our nest. <Security Leader> Copy, be on alert. I will be turning on our defenses again
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Sensors going on, keep away from them."
<DeathStar> 6* Chou hisses, then with ATay's help, turns around and moves toward a generator and behind it is a hidden doorway that is starting to close
<DeathStar> 6* Chou leaps in
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash leaps in
<DeathStar> (Anya, not Atay)
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra tries to hurry, but isn't going to amke it
<DeathStar> ll6* Chou grabs the sliding wall, trying to slow it
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves over to it, she waits at it, straining to slow it for others as Anyata heads through.
<DeathStar> 6* Atay speeds through
<Seraphna> * Anya drags Harupia through.
<DeathStar> 6* Chou puts her feet against the wall and her arms, trying to stop, gears grinding. Cassandra makes it, with Katrina hurrying next
<Seraphna> * Seraphna tries to hold it for Teddy. "Move..."
<Aqua> *Teddy rushes for it
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina slides in as Chou begins to bunch up
<DeathStar> 6* Teddy begins to have to squeeze in
<DeathStar> 6* For he is a bear
<Seraphna> * Seraphan switches to hybrid form, muscles straining as she holds it for Teddy. Ready to speed in after him when he gets there.
<Seraphna> *there = through
<DeathStar> 6* Teddy manages to pop in
<Seraphna> * Seraphna lets go and rushes through.
<DeathStar> 6* Chou lets go as her arm is smashed off, sparking
<Aqua> *Teddy blinks
<DeathStar> 6 *Chou holds the remains of a stump with her good arm, eyeing the other crumbled in
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns and pulls out her multitool, she cuts off the sparking really quick with her REploid Doctorness.
<DeathStar> <Chou> ... *She seems to lurch in pain a Seraphna does that, then hurries forward* No time
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I'll build you a new one, with optional lasers."
<Seraphna> * Anyata peers ahead and moves after her, Seraphna follows.
<Aqua> *Teddy follows, a bear
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves down the hallway as sensors begin to blink on and lasers
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia makes a face. 1"I don't think her conduits support the power flux necessary for weaponry of that calibur
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash follows
<DeathStar> 6* Atay rushes ahead, and tries to cut and slash what she can before it turnso n
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Watch the sensors."
<DeathStar> <Atay> Why is XX not here again?!;
<Seraphna> * Anyata joins her in the speed cutting, coordinating through their link.
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia blinks and dashes forward, picking up Katrina and begins to nimbly navigate the laser field
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I dunno, something about being annoyed.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves after them, keeping her eyes out for sensors as she moves.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra nimbly dodges and ducks under what lasers form
<Seraphna> * Seraphna poofs small and flies around them as she goes.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash, a ninja, uses his speed and reflexes to dodge the lasers
<Aqua> *Teddy attempts to dodge
<DeathStar> 6* They finally escape the corridor of traps and find themselves in the basement of the palace
<Aqua> *Teddy looks about
<Seraphna> * Seraphna peers about, frowning. "They might discover the arm at any time, so we can't dawdle too long." *she says quietly*
<DeathStar> 6* There's a lot of boxes full of the royal family's stuff, including portraits all around
<DeathStar> <Chou> Sorry to be an inconvience
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Not your fault Chou. Stating a matter of fact."
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra walks by and eyes a box of the royal family's clothing
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Now there's a find...
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Would a disguise mean anything here?"
<Aqua> *Teddy eyes them both
<Seraphna> * Seraphna motions at Teddy's disguiser that can make him look human as a gentle reminder. Anyata peers around as well.
<DeathStar> <Chou> I don't know
<DeathStar> <Chou> Hard to say what the guards in the palace might be like
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia hasn't set Katrina down, looking passive
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Harpuia, unsure what to say
<DeathStar> 6* Atay zooms up the stairs
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> There she goes. 6* She follows
<Seraphna> * Anyata sighs and follows her, Seraphna shakes her head and heads after them.
<Aqua> *Teddy follows, wearing a helmet
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash follows
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia frowns and runs after them
<DeathStar> 6* Atay looks around on the lower levels, squinting. Then kneels. Katrina motions that she can get down now
<Seraphna> * Anyata kneels and looks at Atay, then around cautiously, Seraphna settles on Atay's bountiful chest.
<DeathStar> 6* Down the hallway, they finally see a Nazi palace guard - dressed in what appears to be red, with nazi symbols, and having those strange new blasters as they move along. To the left, there's a set of stairways going downward, and sounds of many people down there
<DeathStar> 6* The palace guard seems to be doing a patrol down the long hallway - on the far end - where he's at - there's also stairs going upward, and there's plenty of doors along the hallway, and nice paintings of various Nazis, and Germans, and furniture
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia moves to the side
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns and whispers, "Dungeon..."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> ooooor party! 6*He whispers
<DeathStar> 6* The guard begins to head their way again, whistling a famous German tune, so farn ot seeing them
<DeathStar> 6* Atay speeds out and slams him into the wall, a loud THUNK, and the impact begins to knock a vase toward the ground as it rattles afurniture
<Seraphna> * Anyata speeds and catches it.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard struggles to get his gun as she stabs him repeatedly, splattering some blood on the wall, then speeds back with his body and tosses it down the stairs against some boxes with more thunks
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> ... great.
<DeathStar> 6* Atay looks pleased
<Aqua> *Teddy deadpans
<Seraphna> * Anyata pulls a cloth out of subspace, wipes blood, and heads after her.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna shivers. "...I-I was in her chest for all of that." *she squeaks out softly*
<DeathStar> 6* Atay speeds back to the others as a door opens and a guard peers out, and recloses it
<DeathStar> <Atay> Should I check down the stairs?
<DeathStar> <Chou> ... send the psycho down the stairs, sure...
<DeathStar> <Atay> Okay!
<DeathStar> 6* She speeds off
<DeathStar> <Chou> That was--
<Seraphna> * Anyata speeds with her, Seraphna shakingly shakes her head. "N-Not ye..."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Uh...
<DeathStar> l<Katrina> ..... she's changed
<Seraphna> * Seraphna is sped off with Atay, clinging for dear life.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash rushes to follow
<Aqua> Teddy> Dah
<DeathStar> 6* Atay speeds down and comes to a stop with Anya, peering at a nicely made dungeon with seats, beds, furniture, tea, and whatnot, and 5 guards with blasters watching the entire royal family of this generation that is left
<DeathStar> 6* She peers down the steps and gets ready
<Seraphna> * Anyata gets ready with her, Seraphna gulps. "We need a plan..." *she whispers*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stays where she is at the other stairs and looks around
<DeathStar> <Atay> Kill them all
<DeathStar> 6* Atay speeds past the closest and leaps for the furthest, stabbing into his chest and doing it repeatedly
<DeathStar> 6* The guards pause, startled for a moment, and begin to aim their guns
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "The reckless fighting will get us noticed soo..." *Anyata speeds with her, doing another. Slashing arms holding guns first.
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia watches them but continues to guard Katrina
<Seraphna> * Seraphna jerks and sets a fist of air into another's face.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash sighs, rushign forward, pulling his spear out, and kebabing one that's still alive
<DeathStar> 6* One guard fires, his blaster firing what looks like pure hyperspaceish energy, and it strikes Atay's side, blasting it completely away, spinning her in pain and she collapses, even as they kill three, and Seraphim hits a fourth. The fifth aims at Ash and fires
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash tries to leap out of the way and toss his spear at him
<DeathStar> 6* The fourth tries to get back up and Atay stabs him weakly, her side sparking.
<DeathStar> 6* The wall is vaporized and the foundation shakes a bit
<Seraphna> * Anyata jerks in shock and speeds to Atay's side. Seraphna sends a wind punch into the firing one.
<DeathStar> 6* But Ash spears him
<DeathStar> 6* And Seraphna punches him away
<Aqua> *Teddy pounces at one
<DeathStar> 6* Atay stumbles to her feet, her side badly damaged. The royal family stares at them, a good 20 of them, ranging from old to young
<Seraphna> * Anyata pulls out her repair kit and puts it on Atay to work her over to stable condition.
<DeathStar> <King> I say
<DeathStar> <Atay> I-I am -f-fine.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "You could have died." *she says, still stoic*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shakes her head, and peers around from the original location, knowing it can't be good after feeling the area shake
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "That'll bring reinforcements."
<DeathStar> 6* A few guards can be seen, by Katrina and Harupia and Chou, movingt to investigate down the hallway. Katrina grabs her sabre
<kalonZombie> <Ash> You guys might wanna get out. I think that was a load bearing wall.
<DeathStar> 6* The king points at the set of keys on one
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra grabs them and uhnlocks the cells
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lets out a breath and gets ready to attack
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *grabs the keys and flaps them over to him, then hovers up*
<Seraphna> * Seraphna doesn't, that is.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna merely lands on Cass' shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra then grabs one of the five blasters
<DeathStar> 6* One of the royal family member grabs another
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns and peers around. "Neither Wind nor defense grid here."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stabs out and stabs one of the guards coming to ambush in the heart, killing him; the other four in the hallway aim their blasterrs
<DeathStar> 6* Chou aims her good arm, blasting one aiming in the face - the others can hear the shots
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia brings out twin handles, lighting them both up and going in to cover Katrina, going for the next to block her from fire
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash grabs one of the blasters and puts it in his subspace
<Seraphna> * Anyata speeds to the corner of the stairs to check, then moves in to attack one from behind. Seraphna frowns and flaps up to peek.
<DeathStar> 6* Harpuia slices down another, leaving two left - they fire, and the clip of hyperspace removes a part of his shoulder completely scarily. Katrina's eyes widen
<DeathStar> 6* Atay grabs a remaining one and hurries up weakly
<DeathStar> 6* Leaving two in the basement
<DeathStar> 6* Atay stabs one in the back, and the remaining one is distracted, so Katrina cuts his throat
<Seraphna> * Seraphna flaps back down and shifts human, grabbing one and heading after the others.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash puts the other two in his subspace as well, then heads to follow
<kalonZombie> 6*other one
<DeathStar> 6* The royal family member wityh the weapon leads the royal family up and looks about. Chou, weakened, looks at the others
<kalonZombie> 6*He'll give it up if someone asks, but none should be left behind
<DeathStar> <Chou> I'll be no good to you now - I'll try to get them out of here
<DeathStar> 6* Chou waves her stump
<Seraphna> * Seraphna nods to her, peering at the weapons. "This power..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina touches the hole in Harupia's shoulder
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's from either dad or Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* She picks up one of the four blasters
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "They have a progenitor here, it has to be."
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra walks along with her's
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Let's find 'em.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I guess now we go up... with the enemy on alert. Everyone grab a weapon."
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Well, lets get the codes to lower the planetary shield, and destroy this base and free London, right?
<Seraphna> * Seraphna nods. "Yes, and hopefully find a friend."
<DeathStar> 6* Chou moves off
<Aqua> Teddy> Dah.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Sounds like a plan.
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> 6* After blasting their ways through the royal palace guards and leaving the palace in some worse shape, they reach what is the 'throne room' of the Nazi commander, and where the computer hub of the base is at. The doors are shut
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra sits behind a desk and peers at them, then theo thers
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> So, how do you want to approach this?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We have these guns, I doubt the door could stand them, but instincts tell me silly things will happen if we try that."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I just sorta want to punch him in his stupid face.
<DeathStar> 6* Atay is quiet, her wound looking worse
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I could teleport in there and punch him in his stupid face.
<DeathStar> <Voice on the other side> Come on in, Hunters.
<Aqua> Teddy> Could knock.
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns and transfers energy to boost Atay's repair functions.
<DeathStar> 6* A camera turns in the corner to face them
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Oooooor we could be invited in menacingly.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Hrm, alright." *she moves carefully to the door and checks it*
<DeathStar> 6* The door is unlocked
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> Let's go.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna opens it carefully, Anyata helps Atay along.
<Aqua> *Teddy moves inside
<DeathStar> 6* Atay limps her way in; Katrina and Cassandra walk in with their guns, with fresh charges
<Aqua> *Teddy wears a crown he found
<Seraphna> * Seraphna keeps her gun ready.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash walks in, gun ready as well
<DeathStar> 6* The computer hubs are in the corner, and a Nazi desk in the center, with wide windows that overlook the rich part of town, and a holotable set up - despite their lack of technology, it seems the upper echleions use it still
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia checks the function of his shoulder after the time has passed to see if it functions at all
<DeathStar> 6* Sitting at the desk in a large chair, Nazi flags on either side, is a young commander - clearly not the person who is running London judging by his ranks and age.
<DeathStar> 6* It's healing, slowly
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Somehow I don't think you're the man in charge."
<DeathStar> <Young Commander> You have made a mess of our prize city.
<DeathStar> <Young Commander> But I suppose you have gotten your prize. The codes to shut down the shield long enough to do whatever it is you want.
<DeathStar> 6* He refers to the computers
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I suppose we have. Why are you still here?"
<Aqua> Teddy> Is trap.
<DeathStar> <Young Commander> *He rises to his feet, hands behins his back. Big Ben is in partial view of the office as he talks*
<DeathStar> <Young Commander> When it became obvious we could not stop you from your prize, it seemed little reason to stop you from having it, but the fact is you will never have London
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Let me guess, scorched earth?"
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Eh, we can try.
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia loses interest in the Nazi commander and goes to a terminal searching it for hints or clues to find Leviathan
<DeathStar> <Young Commander> The supreme commander has moved to our command center, and has already enacted our protocol. 15 years ago we put nuclear thermal charges on all the London support beams
<DeathStar> <Young Commander> The moment you stepped into this room they were activated from there. Also, your rebel base has been attacked at this exact moment. 6 *He wavesh is hand over the holographic center and shows troops approaching Prairie and XX and the others
<Seraphna> * Seraphna sighs. "Of course." *she closes her eyes as if exasperated, but what she really does is activate her link with Elayne for a moment, a warning*
<DeathStar> <Young Commander> And Commandos are attacking the royal family which is escaping
<DeathStar> <Young Commander> So use the terminal. It is yours
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Why thank you." *she aims her gun* "You can open it's full access."
<DeathStar> 6* Harpuia would find references to her in the experiment labs of Senreich's Mobile Castle
<DeathStar> <Young Commander> It was already done for you
<DeathStar> 6* He sits, puts a gun to his head, and pulls the trigger
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra jerks back as the Nazi flag is splattered.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We have to stop those bombs---
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "So kind." *she sighs and moves over* "We need to take down the defenses and move, I've tried sending a warning to Elayne, but I don't know if it will carry."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "They won't have left us time."
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> There's 16 main support beams under London
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia smashes his good hand through the terminal
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> Damn it!
<DeathStar> 6* Harupia smashes the terminal
<DeathStar> 6* So much for lowering the shield
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Our priority is sending the signal and getting out people out... YOU IDIOT!"
<kalonZombie> <Ash> YOU FUCKING IDIOT.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves over and pushes him away, trying to hook up a datapad to it.
<Aqua> *Teddy gapes
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Harupia, after this, you leave us. You have officially fucked us all."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna works to try and get it back. "Teddy, interface mode."
<Aqua> *Teddy moves over and sits, going into interface mode
<Aqua> "Welcome to Teddy OS Packet 4.018!"
<DeathStar> 6* The terminal seems to be pretty damaged. Katrina runs her hand through her hair
<DeathStar> <Katrina> If the supreme commander went into Big Ben
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And that is their comamnd center, we might can do the same thing there
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> THere will be ten time the guards
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "And now we can't help the others."
<Aqua> *The mascot is an adorable chibi teddy wearing a russian hat
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I can teleport us there. Fuck the detectors.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Think it'll work?"
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I'd rather die and save the city then die and leave everyone else with me.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I doubt we'll save it, shields are the opriority, then getting everyone else out of here."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Either way.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Move aside
<DeathStar> That terminal is screwed
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina goes to the hubs themselves
<Seraphna> * Seraphna steps aside, shivering.
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia walks to the desk to check it for its own terminal, or the draws for a laptop
<DeathStar> <Katrina> The rest of you focus on stopping the explosion and the others
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina grabs her datapad and feels around the hub for a jack
<Seraphna> * Seraphna holds her head and tries a second time, hoping she's just making sure, to send the warning. "Right..."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Way we came?"
<DeathStar> 6* Elayne likely knows
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Way we came.
<DeathStar> 6* Harpuia would find around the desk not that, but other important items if the others wait:
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pauses, peering at Harupia a moment, giving him that moment as if considering something.
<DeathStar> 6* He would find: the young commander's ID, a card, a map with circles, a datapad, comm, and a paper with a number code
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina finds a jack finally and hooks up
<DeathStar> 6* She hides behind the hub and works from there
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia takes them out and sets them on the desk one by one as he's finding them
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This will take longer, so I'll hide back here
<DeathStar> 6* A red dot appears on Harupia as they work
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly a rocket flies from Big Ben
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pushes him aside and ducks.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra curses and hits the floor
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash leaps out of the way
<Seraphna> * Anyata speeds and grabs the items before they can be destroyed and rushes away.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna shifts for cover.
<DeathStar> 6* The rocket flies in and destroys the desk and half the room, sending it into flames
<Aqua> *Teddy dives on top of Cass
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash pulls out a fire extinguisher and lets loose
<DeathStar> 6* CAssandra winces under Teddy
<Seraphna> * Seraphna growls and Anyata zips to her with the map. "WE MOVE! NOW!"
<DeathStar> 6* Atay looks wozzy
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> *from under Teddy* Who do we save first, the royal famiyl, the rebels, or do we try to stop the explosives?@1
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I'll stay behind to teleport Kat out when she's done!
<Seraphna> * Anyata hands her the items and picks up Atay, moving with Seraphna as she heads the way they came, peering at the items. "This has to be the bomb info."
<DeathStar> 6* The map actually seems to be a world map
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pauses. "A map... of the world? Okay... the rest..."
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> WAit
<DeathStar> <CAssandra> Ash!
<Aqua> Teddy> Bombs
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> I need you to teleport me to the edge of the city
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> The rest of you
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Get to the rebels
<Seraphna> * Seraphna nods. "Anyata, you're teleporting us to the base."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash nods "I'll be back, Kat, just one second!"
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> And if you can, slow the count down
<Aqua> *Teddy blinks
<Seraphna> Anyata> "What about Chou?"
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> ... I don't want to leave Katrina behind.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns. "Haru can wait for her and fly her."
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> If you can, save her too
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "The rest of us, after Chou, then to the base."
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> I'm fine with that.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I'll be back for her, Harpuia.
<DeathStar> <Casasandra> But Ash, you and I can save London maybe
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "The base has warning, Chou doesn't."
<DeathStar> <Casasndra> But your teleporting is needed
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia nods. 1"I will handle it."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Ash, go with Casandra, that is an order."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash nods, grabbing Cass and teleporting her where she needs to go
<Seraphna> * Seraphna heads the way they came. "Hurry, after Chou."
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia returns to Kat
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina keeps trying to get to the shield information the hard way
<Seraphna> * Anyata carries Atay after Sera. That leaves Teddy to follow them.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart finishes sexing her foxes, laying in bed. Aya sits on duty in the command center, idlely shooting pheromones at a flower and making it bloom her way, a little Motenkish
<DeathStar> 6* Tattoos appearing on her face
<Yuriye> <Null> You're getting better
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, glancing at Null and the tats vanish
<DeathStar> <Aya> T-Thanks
<Yuriye> <Null> ... Is something wrong?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya goes to say something when Cassandra's voice is heard, barely able to be made out. "This is the pirate captain Cassandra, with her first mate Ash - London is set to explode in probably the next ten minutes to an hour. We need you to get under it and start helping get the bombs - now. I don't know how fast you can sail, but if you don't get here, London is going to sink."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya jerks, and hits the alarms and moves forward to Iceheart's office, grabbing the controls without authorization, jerking the controls forward. Iceheart sits up as the alarms go off, grabbing her outfit and leaping otu of bed, Freyja falling forward, tail fluffed
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart yanks on her skin tight suit and hurries out of the room to the command center, listening to Cassandra's looped cry, and Aya piloting the Hunter Station forward, red lights flickering already from the energy levels they're eating up
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Null---
<Yuriye> <Null> Yes, master?
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Theortically, if an engine is going critical from overload, can you absorb the overload outflow?
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> To stop it
<Yuriye> <Null> ...
<Yuriye> 6Null holds out her hand gesturing. 1"Theoretically?"
<Yuriye> <Null> That kind of application was why I was made.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Because if not, this Station might not reach London in time at the speed Aya is pushing us
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> And the size of those engines...
<DeathStar> 6* She gestures, referring to the fact this was meant to be a space station
<Yuriye> <Null> leave it to me.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Good
<Yuriye> 6Null salutes, then exits for engineering.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Be safe.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers over her shoulder, mouthing she loves her
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFt-
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra sighs in relief, on the furthest extension pole out over the sea on London, balancing on one foot, her petite Asian body not snapping it off, both of them under the city where the series of catwalks are at
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Alright, now, until they arrive, we teleport all over this place to each support beam and try to find the bomb
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra turns to Ash
<DeathStar> 6* Then peers at the miles and miles and miles of under the city
<DeathStar> 6* The ocean peaceful under them
<kalonZombie> 6*He nods, then gets to it
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Tanks fire, blowing up sections of the building. Clo squeals as debris hits her hair
<DeathStar> 6* Prairie looks about, trying to push John's statis capsule along. The rebels fire at NAzis, but the tanks seem to be taking their toll
<DeathStar> <Clo> M-Miss XX?
<DeathStar> 6* She peers at XX
<DeathStar> <Clo> Our people aren't capable of beating those tanks
<Jackieness> <XX> "No. Pull out!"
<Seraphna> * Elayne moves along with the stasis chamber, helping to move it.
<DeathStar> <Clo> But they're blocking our escape route. WE cna't
<Seraphna> Elayne> "We need more firepower, or something."
<DeathStar> 6* Clo eyes the tanks. The familes and children are huddled up, unable to make a break for it
<Seraphna> Elayne> "I can turn a few tanks against the others before they fire.. but it will only buy us some time."
<DeathStar> 6* The Nazi Commander leading the attack sneers, a scar down his face, gleeful in his large tank
<Jackieness> <XX> "Tank guns are only good at range."
<DeathStar> <Clo> So charge them?
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Yes, disable the guns. They may hav close range defenses though, so we need to cripple their command."
<Jackieness> <XX> "Mix it up wiht them. Keep them busy. Evacuate everyone else."
<DeathStar> 6* Clo nods her red hair, then nods at the fighters. "Okay everyone, we're going to charge so our families can run past the tanks. On 3!"
<DeathStar> 6* Clo goies into melee mode and prepares.
<DeathStar> <Clo> 1....
<Jackieness> <XX> "Elayne, turn the tanks while we charge. That should give us some wiggle room to close in."
<DeathStar> <Clo> 2....
<Jackieness> <XX> *armors up*
<Seraphna> * Elayne nods. She readies to focus.
<DeathStar> 6* Clo shouts 3 and rushes with the rebel forces of human and reploid. Prairie leaves John to some nice family people, and leaps forward, bouncing along with her hat
<Jackieness> <XX> *charges forward toward the line of tanks*
<Seraphna> * Elayne holds out her hands and focuses, she turns two tanks as fast as she can towards two others.
<DeathStar> 6* The rows of tanks fire, blasting away rebels. Clo vanishes in a blast of energy
<Jackieness> <XX> *fires her buster at one of the tank gun barrels as she continues to run*
<DeathStar> 6* Elayne manages to blow up two tanks as they fire at each other. Prairie and others get in close where they can't fire and begin to blast and fire, blowing up a few of them. The Tank Commander snarls and aims his mini guns at them, pissed, as the families evacuate
<DeathStar> 6* Prairie yelps as she's hit in the back by a gatling gun
<Seraphna> * Elayne focuses on a third tank and hurls it at the Tank Commander's.
<DeathStar> 6* Falling off her defeated tank
<DeathStar> 6* The Tank Commander looks up as the tank smashes into his, crippling one side of it
<Jackieness> <XX> *leaps up and then fires her buster gun down at the top of the commander's tank*
<DeathStar> 6* Allowing 3/4ths of the families to escape.
<DeathStar> 6* As he looks up, he sees XX's shot come down, and then it explodes.
<DeathStar> 6* Demoralized, the Nazi forces begin to fall apart as the rest escape. Prairie pushes herself up and throws rocks at them
<DeathStar> 6* Her back damaged and smoking, she picks up her doll and runs
<Seraphna> * Elayne heads after Praire.
<DeathStar> 6* The rebels cheer Elayne and XX with their guns raised as they get away. Sadly, many of the fighters are dead, but none of the women or children. Clo never shows up
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Jackieness> <XX> "Evacuate the wounded from the battlefield!" *fires her buster at the rear ends of the retreating tanks to discourage any of them from being brave*
<DeathStar> 6* XX manages to blow up one tank by sheer luck
<DeathStar> 6* The others arrive at a building with no fighting, but a lot of dead bodies oddly. A British voice shouts out, one of the blasters poking out. "Who goes there?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Same people who got you out."
<Aqua> *Teddy waves
<Seraphna> * Seraphna stays tensed as she says it.
<DeathStar> 6* The old queen leans out and stares at them, then nods. "Roight."
<DeathStar> 6* They slowly move down and out, looking about. No sign of Chou
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Where's Chou?"
<DeathStar> <Royal Member> She led them away, making it seem like we were with her - about a block that way. 6* They point at the charred remains of a building. "Been flying patrols over it looking for us and her."
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Hrm... bunker down here for now, we'll go after her."
<DeathStar> <Royal Member 2> She fought a lot of them off before the explosion
<DeathStar> 6* They all do a quiet momnt
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Yeah... we have to hurry, this wasn't the only ambush--- explosion?"
<DeathStar> <Royal MEmber 3> Roight - the explosion came from the fighting with them bastards
<DeathStar> a6* They nod at the charred building
<Seraphna> * Seraphna nods and peers the way they pointed. "We move quietly."
<DeathStar> <Royal Member 4> Took them about 20 mins to put the fire out
<DeathStar> 6* The royal members nod and begin to move with Seraphna
<DeathStar> <Atay> Not YOU
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Aye, bunker here."
<DeathStar> 6* They look offended and go back inside
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "For your safety.. london will need it's royalty after this."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna moves towards the building carefully, Anyata moves with her, still supporting Atay if she needs it.
<Aqua> *Teddy follows
<DeathStar> 6* After sneaking to the sight, they see helicopters and a lot of tanks about, shining lights - one tank is demolished and one helicopter crashed. Finally, they drag up a body, and it's the destroyed remains of what seems to be a reploid beyond repair, a fluff of pink hair - it looks like self-destruction
<DeathStar> 6* The Nazis seem annoyed and the command is heard saying to move out, and the helicopter and tanks move on, away from the royal family and them
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pales, she waits for the Nazis to move away, hoping they left the body.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems they did
<Seraphna> * Seraphna poofs and flaps voer carefully, then inspects the body.
<DeathStar> 6* As Seraphna looks over, half the face still remains, and Chou's dead eye looks up at Seraphna's. The rest is metallic, that is left.
<Seraphna> * Seraphna checks to see if her core is intact at all.
<DeathStar> 6* The right hand clutches something
<Seraphna> * Seraphna checks the hand too.
<DeathStar> 6* Her memory core is charred terriblely
<DeathStar> 6* The right hand seems to have some sort of recording that is damaged, but intact
<DeathStar> <Atay> Must have self-destructed to take out a regiment, the tank, and helicopter on her, and to make them think the royal family died
<Seraphna> * Seraphna takes it, hoping to salvage Chou somehow, and then checks the hand. She checks the recording as she flaps back and lands on Teddy. "Anyata, ready to teleport, I'll give you the coordinates shortly."
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be a personal message to Null
<Seraphna> * Seraphna puts it away, then focuses to locate Elayne.
<DeathStar> 6* Big Ben meanwhile seems to be up to something, the hands on it shifting
<Yuriye> 6Null brings up her datapad and reads it
<DeathStar> (Null wouldn't have it yet)
<Yuriye> (Ah, okies)
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Hrm... Big Ben... what're they planning?"
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphna locates Elayne easily
<Seraphna> Anyata> "It's possible the Bombs are a lure."
<DeathStar> 6* A large beam cannon is being set up
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Could they have made Big Ben into a weapon?"
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Exactly what they did."
<DeathStar> 6* And it's aimed - at them
<DeathStar> 6* The light coming on
<DeathStar> <Atay> We need--to teleport the old people now
<DeathStar> 6* Atay jerks a bit
<Seraphna> Seraphna> *rapidly spills out coordinates, and Anyata grabs everyone*
<DeathStar> 6* The royal family looks at the light a little, as a hyperspace beam shoots out at them
<DeathStar> 6* Coming in fast
<Seraphna> * Anyata calls otu for veryone to touch, then teleprots them.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra and Ash slowly climb their first support structure, the large nuclear bomb attached firmly. Below them dead guards have smoking holes from the hyperspace, their guns nearly out since the guards down here have normal weapons.
<DeathStar> 6 *Cassandra reaches it and eyes the wires - red green blue orange - the timer at 15 minutes and 39 seconds
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> How do we shut this down, dad?
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves over and checks it out, trying to figure out which wire to cut
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes the metal of the city above, a good chunk of it before one reaches the aquaducts
<DeathStar> 6* Red gives a bad feeling
<DeathStar> 6* Blue feels mopey, green feels like go
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Not red... 6*He keeps searching
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Green maybe? What about orange...
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> *goes to clip orange*
<kalonZombie> 6*He puts his hand up
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> W-What?
<DeathStar> 6* The timer beeps at 15 mins8
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I'm thinking green. I'm HOPING green.
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> What if green is like go bomb go?
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra eyes him
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> You want to be nuked?>
<kalonZombie> <Ash> No... go for orange.
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> *She goes to cut it, pausing* You sure?
<kalonZombie> <Ash> ...
<kalonZombie> 6*He inhales, closes his eyes, and focuses, trying to put out all doubt in his mind
<DeathStar> 6* CAssandra closes her eyes too, and begins to snip orange
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> If this is wrong, I go to the great bear in the sky..
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra snips
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra waits, then opens her eyes, looking around
<kalonZombie> <Ash> ...I think we're still alive.
<DeathStar> 6* The bomb has stopped at 14 mins and 48 seconds
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Next support beam dad
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Orange. Let's go.
<kalonZombie> 6*He grabs her and teleports
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* As they arrive at their third one, she deadpans, all of them colored red
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> What do we do now?!
<DeathStar> 6* The timer beeps to 11 mins
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Okay, okay, they had to have colored them all red to make it harder, so one of these was orange at one point, so we have to remember which was orange
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash inspects it closely, trying to find the same place where the orange ones connected to
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra and Ash both upon inspecting closely, which Ash was doing, agree on the orange one. Cassandra puts the wire cutter to it and goes to clip when suddenly the area begins to shake and a giant beam of energy smashes through nearby, leaving a round gaping hole, not too large, but there, and rocking the support, and hitting the ocean, steaming it. Cassandra is knocked back and cuts the wrong one, the wire cutter dropping from her hand and slamming down the support beam a few rungs a the timer begins to speed up rapidly
<DeathStar> 9 minutes
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra hangs there by one leg over the ocean
<DeathStar> 8 minutes
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra tries to find the wire cutter, flailing
<DeathStar> 7 minutes
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash grabs the one that was orange and yanks
<DeathStar> 6* The timer stops at 5 minutes and 45 seconds
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash rushes over and grabs Cass
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra sighs in relief as she hangs upside down, and Ash pulls her up
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes the giant hole
<DeathStar> <CAssandra> What...happened?
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Uhhhh... bad things. Let's hurry up.
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Yes, I think we have like 10 mins now
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFt-
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina finishes and lowers the planetary shields, and sends a message to Zeraphna and what happened as fast as she can
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Done --- and a virus in the system to hopefully keep it down, but if not hopefully she can bring it down when she returns. Now--to find where Wind is at
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina begins to search rapidly in the databanks, trying to learn what happened to Wind
<DeathStar> 6* As she works, Big Ben fires it's beam and shakes the palace hard, cracks appearing in the wall. Katrina lets out a shrill noise
<DeathStar> 6* Part of the ceiling begins to fall toward the hubs - if they get damaged---!
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> Kat, you have to be quick
<Yuriye> 6He reaches up to shield the hubs
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, apologetically, and keeps searching. "Information on him is well guarded, sorry. And the hubs are hard to transverse."
<DeathStar> 6* The shaking stops thankfully, so Harpuia can slide back off - but at that moment Big Ben's gun turns and begin to aim at the palace
<DeathStar> 6* And not even Harpuia can stop hyperspace
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Okay... okay.....
<DeathStar> 6* The gun doesn't seem to be charging yet, like firing blasts takes a bit
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia jerks, puts his hand on her datapad and copies the data to his memory-- or what he can, then grabs Katrina and forms his aerial armor, peeling out of the room
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina squeaks
<DeathStar> <Katrina> W-why'd you stop me?!
<DeathStar> 6* The gun finally begins to charge up
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> I can't do anything to stop that
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> If that fires this whole place, let alone the room or us is toast
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *peers, then at him* But I didn't find the information yet - if you did manage to download the right sector of the hub with it, which I pray you did, that makes you the most valuable key to learning the truth to Wind. My dad... Please becareful. If your memory core gets damage.d..
<DeathStar> 6* The gun begin to glow
<DeathStar> 6* Then it fires, destroying the top half of the palace
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes Big Ben coldly
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> I apoligise.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That gun and that commander has to be taken out
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* At the new hide out--- the others teleport in, unaware they have 7 mins to live before the bombs go off below
<DeathStar> 6* Prairie looks up as they appear with the royal family
<DeathStar> 6* XX has been made the rebel leader it seems
<Seraphna> * Seraphna frowns. "I'm sorry it took us so long. Have Kat and Haru returned?"
<Jackieness> <XX> "No. They are unaccounted for."
<DeathStar> <Prairie> No, I'm afraid not. 6* In the distance, another boom is heard and rebels rush in, telling them the top part of the palace is gone from Big Ben
<Seraphna> * Seraphna grits her teeth. "Alright. Where's Clo? We need to figure out an evacuation in case Ash and Cass fail."
<DeathStar> <Prairie> Clo is dead...
<Jackieness> <XX> "MIA."
<DeathStar> <Prairie> Well, true - there is no body
<Seraphna> * Seraphna rubs her face. "Alright... do we have any forms of escape you know of, Praire?"
<DeathStar> 6* At the six minute mark, a buzz is heard and Harupia lands
<DeathStar> <Prairie> Well, yes, in a few hours time
<DeathStar> 6* She begins to get them readyh, not aware of the bombs yet
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We likely have minutes to an hour at best."
<DeathStar> <Prairie> Then no
<Jackieness> <XX> "Minutes to an hour until what?"
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia sets Katrina down gently.
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "They would not have given us time to take out the nukes."
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> *voice crackling* We managed to take down 10 of the bombs --- 12 remain --- we're pinned down by enemies. There's 5 minutes left. I'm sorry we failed
<Jackieness> <XX> "Unless they just wanted to keep us occupied while something else happened."
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> The right half of London is about to crash
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "So that's optimal. We need to do something... and the Nazi's seem pretty confident in Big Ben."
<Seraphna> * Seraphna pulls out what she has. "We have this code, this map, this ID..."
<Aqua> Teddy> Teleport out of here, get clear
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hooks up to Harupia and begins to shift through his downloaded information
<Jackieness> <XX> "Hmmmm." *walks over to a box and pulls something out* "Maybe this could inspire something."
<Yuriye> 6Harpuia sits down patiently.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Those are likely to get into Big Ben, Seraphna
<Jackieness> <XX> *holds up a Guy Fawkes mask*
<Aqua> *Teddy tells Cass
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And with that gun firing, you might need it
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "Well we need to take out the gun."
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Into what, the ocean?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "I assume you summoned help, Cass?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra's voice crackles, the sound of fire heard
<Aqua> Teddy> Somewhere away from here!
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Yeah, but they must not have arrived in time --- 3 minutes...I'm sorry....
<DeathStar> <Iceheart on comm> Better late, then never, if I may
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "We have to hope for a hail mary and take the tower."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart eyes the red lights flashing from critical on the bridge, having Chii and Freyja on the bridge with her as she sails up to London, putting 3 minutes on the clock as she begins to go under the cityh
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Mark the support the beams. 6* Aya does so
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> With the remaining energy, switch power from engines to teleporters. <Aya> That might destroy half our systems. <ICehearT> No choice, Null did what she could for us, now we do it. She's likely glowing down there
<DeathStar> 6* Aya flips, and sparks fly all over the place, lifesupport shutting down, consoles busting, as the Station begins to wedge itself between beams under the city, scraping sounds heard as the timer hits 2 minutes
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Can you two girls do that foxhole shit and grab bombs? 6* She asks Chii and Freyja
<Yuriye> <Chii> Um... no
<DeathStar> 6* Aya locks onto support beams, teleporting bombs out to sea, power levels dropping with each attempt and more systems failing. She leaves the ones near CAss and Ash alone in the event they might can get to them if they overcome their bad guys
<Yuriye> <Freyja> I can lightstep
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Well, grab as many as you can. *She points out 4*
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja hugs Chii and lightsteps
<DeathStar> 6* The teleporters grab 4 more, then the station goes dark, only the timer ticking - 5 tossed out
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja and Chii appear next to a bomb ticking
<DeathStar> <Freyja> Which do we pull? <Cassandra on comm> Orange.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra, across the way half a mile oin another catwalk/support beam, is firing at NAzis with a regular gun, trying to kill two
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja nods to Chii to do it
<kalonZombie> <Ash on comm> If none are orange, pull the one connected at [insert area where orange was connected]
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash fires at another Nazi with his buster
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra is hit in the shoulder, blood spewing about
<DeathStar> 6* Leaving her right hand paralyzed
<DeathStar> 6* She switches to her left and shoots a Nazi in the throat
<DeathStar> 6* And Ash gets another. Cassandra begins to climb awkwardly to their bomb
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Attagirl!
<kalonZombie> 6*He supports her and moves for it
<Yuriye> 6Chii kneels and starts to grab the orange one
<Yuriye> <Chii> It's... the reddish one right?
<DeathStar> <FReyja> Yes, that is it
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja nods
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra rips the panel open and eyes all the wires
<kalonZombie> <Ash> ...You know what? We don't have time for this.
<DeathStar> 6* She looks at Ash
<Yuriye> 6Chii pulls the orange
<Yuriye> <Chii> I'm making sure, I'm fucking color blind
<kalonZombie> 6*He pulls his spear out of subspace, puts it on his back, and he grabs it and puts it in his subspace
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja ligthtsteps to their next one
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Done. Let's move.
<DeathStar> 6* Ash would get a very bad idea about having a nuclear bomb in his subspace
<DeathStar> 6* That is armed
<kalonZombie> 6*Well then he doesn't do that then, looking for where orange would be
<DeathStar> 6* Orange is colored on this one
<kalonZombie> 6*He yanks
<DeathStar> 6* It shuts down
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash grabs Cass and teleports to the next beam
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja opens the panel and pulls their orange, then lightsteps to their third one
* Aqua has quit IRC (Quit: AndroIRC - Android IRC Client ( http://www.androirc.com ))
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra looks around, seeing no sign of the bomb, but hearing a beeping
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja looks about, hearing a beeping
<kalonZombie> <Ash> ...In the pillar?
<DeathStar> 6* CAssandra shakes her head
<Yuriye> 6Chii points for Freyja, her animalistic senses pointing it out
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> No.
* Aqua has joined #ClassSession73
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja reaches out and touches something invisible
* Aqua has quit IRC (Client Quit)
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash looks around for it
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja hisses and opens a panel
<DeathStar> <Freyja> ... Where would the wires bne?
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra climbs with one arm, feeling about slowly
* Aqua has joined #ClassSession73
<kalonZombie> 6*He changes his vision to try and look at electronic signals
<DeathStar> 6* Ash dectects the invisible bomb to Cassandra's right
<DeathStar> 6* The bombs reach 1 minute
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves over and opens it, trying to find orange and pulling
<DeathStar> 6* Ash disarms it. But with 2 other bombs out there, 1 minute isn't a lot. Iceheart comes on the comm
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> You don't have time to find the last two bombs after Freyja and Chii finish their last two
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Get back on here
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra looks stubborn
<Yuriye> <Chii> But we can't or--
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja feels where orange should be and yanks disarming
<DeathStar> <Freyja> Lets finish our last, Chii
<DeathStar> 6* She sidesteps to it
<DeathStar> *Light
<Yuriye> <Chii> Right!
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Yes ma'am. 6*he says, a bit miffed, then looks at Cass
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja looks about and opens the panel, 50 seconds remaining and opens it
<DeathStar> <CassandrA> Your call, we got less than a minute to find two more...
<DeathStar> <CAssandra> I'm up for it, dad
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes the remaining pillars
<kalonZombie> 6*He grabs her and teleports to the next pillar with a grin
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra eyes the bomb upside down at the highest point, climbinb for it
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash gives her a boost
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja yanks out the orange - 40 seconds left
<DeathStar> <Freyja> Do we ignore master and go after the last bomb?
<DeathStar> 6* Freyja peers at the other two
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra uses her good arm to open the panel and reaches in, stretching as hard as she can for the wire, using her bird finger and rips it out
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> 30 seconds -- one more to go, dad
<kalonZombie> 6*He nods, grabbing her and teleporting to the next one
<Yuriye> <Chii> Yes, oneesama
<Yuriye> <Chii> Let's go. People will die otherwise
<DeathStar> 6* The last one is in plain sight. Freyja and Chii appear as well.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash rushes for it and opens it
<DeathStar> 6* AS they all go for it, a Nazi in a wielding mech suit steps out
<DeathStar> 6* And grabs for Ash
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash microteleports for it, trying to dodge the grab
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart, in the Station, curses at having no power to fire at it
<DeathStar> 6* The mech suit misses
<Yuriye> 6Chii nudges Freyja, mouthing lightstep and cut the wire
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash grabs the bomb to open it
<Yuriye> 6Chii meanwhile forms seals and runs at the suit with lightning across her fist and smashes its leg
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra slides under and fires at it's bottom. Freyja lightsteps and cuts for the wire as Ash opens it.
<DeathStar> l6* The bomb stopping
<kalonZombie> <Ash> EVERYONE GRAB ME.
<DeathStar> 6* At that moment, a hyperspace beam comes flying in from the city above and tears through the platform and the support beam
<Yuriye> 6Chii grabs Ash and Freyja
<DeathStar> 6* The wielder dying instantly. CAssandra is thrown off and falls toward the ocean
<DeathStar> 6* While Freyja is grabbed
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash reels, teleporting for Cass to grab her
<DeathStar> 6* Ash grabs CAssandra in mid-air, all of them falling right for the ocean as Ash runs out of energy. Cassandra lets out a curse as they splash down
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFt-
<DeathStar> 6* On the surface, they see Big Ben fire into the ground, seemingly at random, until Iceheart tells them they disarmed all the bombs, only to be fired at by a beam of light and fell into the ocean
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "They must be tracking the teleports. We have to move in and take that cannon out before they find a new target. Like us."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> .... I got what happened to Wind off Harupia. But we'll never truly save London until we destroy that place. Iceheart, send a shuttle fully armed up
<DeathStar> <Iceheart on comm> Will do - I'll also send someone to find your people.
<DeathStar> 6* A moment later, Null on the shuttle comes in and launches missiles into Big Ben, blowing it up completely
<DeathStar> 6* The hyperspace cannon causing it to explode even more so
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "....Well..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Use what you have. *she lowers her comm* Lets go home
<Seraphna> Seraphna> "It comes to mind... how were they powering that thing?"
<Jackieness> <XX> "That was... almost anti-climatic."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's on the data I have. As I slowly uncrypt it, I'll tell you
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP, FINAL SCENE-
<DeathStar> 6* Ash is repowered in the medical bay, Katrina there in a lab coat.
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> They have Leviathan on the flying castle
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Nuuuu... fiemurminnits...
<Seraphna> * Seraphna is at work trying to restore what she can, especially to maintain John's stasis. Elayne rubs her head.
<Aqua> *Teddy is seated by Cass, looking worried
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's where Senreich did most of his experiments, Harpuia
<kalonZombie> 6*Pip sits in the medical bay with Kat
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina trails off. "Like what he did to Wind."
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra is alive, but bruised
<Seraphna> Elayne> "He's... is WInd still...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart pets her girls - Freyja's magik having saved them during impact
<Seraphna> * Anyata is focused on repairing Atay quietly.
<Aqua> Teddy> Should of let someone else go. *He huffs a bit
<Aqua> Teddy> Could of died
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We'll talk about it later. But Senreich captured him and Erevis - Erevis is being used as an energy source for weapons
<Seraphna> Elayne> "So we get her back."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And Wind, well, he's been captured and being studied by Senreich
<DeathStar> 6* IT's clear she doesn't want ot talk about it right now. "We saw the results in the desert."
<Seraphna> * Elayne nods. "Alright. We'll get them both back."
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Sorry...but I learned it from you, daddy.
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra manages a smile
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> Katrina..
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts her hands in her lab coat, peering at Harupia
<Seraphna> Elayne> *peers over at John* For now, we have the Aya treatment to try out.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is quiet, unconscious and hooked up blood wise for John
<DeathStar> 6* A breathing mask on her
<DeathStar> 6* Her blood cycling for John
<Aqua> *Teddy huffs ahain but hugs her
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra winces, but giggles
<Seraphna> ELayne> "I hope this works... I think Mom's taken a few too many blows today." *she oddly speaks nothing of herself*
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> Senreich will be coming after us now that we took London from him and sent that message out; if he knew we knew about Wind, well..
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves over to Cass after "waking up" a bit more "Heya Cass."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> You all did good, saving the city
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Hey---we did it
<Yuriye> <Harpuia> We both have someone to save. Let's work together?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yeah. *She nods*
<Seraphna> * Seraphna set up Chou's core on a small charge device to keep it powered, a repair station working on it as she continues to lose herself in repair work.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart moves over to NUll, and hands her the recording from Chou
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Yup.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Seraphna got this
<kalonZombie> 6*Pip smiles, moving over to Kat and putting a hand on her shoulder "I'll help however I can"
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> *She rubs her shoulders* IF you need anything...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles, relaxing a little
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> Thank you both
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We'll get our friends back, and stop Senreich for good
<DeathStar> -END-
<kalonZombie> 6*He nods, leaning in and kissing her lightly
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina ends the session with a blink and closing her eyes, blushing
