<DeathStar> The Alien Wars: The Book of Revelations
<DeathStar> Day One: A Grave Mistake
<DeathStar> 6* January 5th, 2225. It has been six months since the Station has gone operational under Wiendigo's leadership; Dominator is his second in command, and due to having his memories wiped out in TAW3 to start fresh, doesn't seem to remember much, though he's still the same pain in the ass about justice as ever before, keeping Wiendigo on his toes about ethics every chance he gets (Cont)
<DeathStar> 6* Having just arrived at the beginning of the new year, Wiendigo has two new recruits: two reploids named Anyata and Null, both female. Having arrived in the hanger, they've just begun to exit the shuttle. However, the real situation today is President Wind having arrived as well, with his secretary, to talk to Wiendigo and Dominator privately.
* Jennifer is now known as Anyata
<DeathStar> 6* The pilot of the shuttle lowers the ramp for Anyata and Null; beside them is the President's shuttle, having docked at the same time. Wind steps off the shuttle, adjusting his suit.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator stands in the hanger, hands behind his back, wearing his uniform. He's paged Wiendigo six times already about the President's arrival, as well as the two new recruits.
<Kit> 6A familiar white-haired elf steps off beside him-- not looking the part of secretary at all. On the contrary looking more like an escort given the skimpy maid outfit and a cat hairband, but ethics may be questionable indeed as she clutches a teddy bear in some off knight get-up.
* Anyata makes her way down the ramp, looking over at Null a bit as she does. A slender reploid with large red eyes and long green hair, she dresses rather nicely, a beam saber clipped to her belt with a holstered blaster.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind speaks to the elf beside him. "Just observe for now." 6* He notes, moving toward Dominator. "Dominator." 6* Dominator gives him a salute
<Kit> 6Null hops down the ramp like she's playing hopscotch, then pauses to eye the other shuttle and jerk, then peers back up the ramp, holding up a finger. At the moment she shows no signs of armaments, instead in futuristic civilian clothes and looking otherwise human, short, edge-cut brown hair aside from a waist-length ponytail and rather clear green eyes. 1"Shhh! Important people, I think."
<Kit> 6The elf nods, lowering her bear a bit. Her eyes are closed, but nontheless her head tilts to the two reploids, then ahead at Dominator, keeping two paces behind Wind, as if she could see anyway.
<DeathStar> <Dominator> Wiendigo isn't here yet. As you can see. Should I page him again?
<Kit> <Null> It'd be horrible if we got fired right away, wouldn't it?
* Anyata peers at her and slowly raises a brow, then looks over at the others, "Of course they're important. And yeah it would."
<DeathStar> <Wind> He'll come when he's ready
<DeathStar> 6* Wind peers over at Anyata and Null. Dominator moves over to them. <Dominator> Welcome to Hunter Station. State your names.
<Kit> <Null> Aw man. I should have made cookies after all.
<Kit> 6Null pauses, turning around and reeling at Dominator. He's big. She's not.
* Anyata blinks and salutes, looking up at Dominator as well. "Anyata, sir."
* Wiendigo strolls into the hangar, approaching the group.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator turns to face Wiendigo, then at his datapad. "That is Wiendigo. He's your commanding officer. I'm Dominator, the XO."
<Kit> 6Null eyes Anyata and loosely mimics the salute, not really having any proper method to reply. 1"Uh, Null. I wish that were a joke," 6She taps her head. 1"But frankly, the entry in my memory was literally null."
* Wiendigo takes a firm stance next to Dom, folding his arms and looking not impressed, as per usual.
* Anyata maintains the Salute, looking at Wiendigo. "Pleased to meet you both!"
<Kit> 6Null gulps, looking like she might be sick. 1"Right, what she said."
<DeathStar> <Dominator> Should I send them straight to the training room, or to their quarters?
<Kit> <Null> ...T-Training?
<Wiendigo> Jesus, soldierboy, take the stick out of your ass. *points at Null, then at Anyata* You two, go stow your shit, then report back to Capt. Tightass here for debriefing.
<Kit> <Null> Shouldn't I at least unpack my stuf-- wait, I don't have any." 6She sort of glitches, then smiles. 1"Never mind."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator sighs.
<Kit> <Null> Captain Tightass, sir, I have no stuff, I'm ready!
<DeathStar> <Dominator> My name is Dominator.
<Kit> <Null> Tightass... Dominator..?
* Anyata looks between them a little shocked, but nods. "Alright." *she looks at Null* "You should at least figure out where your bunk is." *she starts to usher her away*
<Kit> 6The elf giggles slightly, then jerks, hiding behind Wind.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator rubs his temples slightly.
* Wiendigo smirks. "Good, then welcome to the Hunters, you'll probably be dead within the week."
<Kit> <Null> Well that won't do.
* Wiendigo pats Dom on the back. "Get them situated, I'm going to go back to screwing your secretary."
<DeathStar> <Dominator> It's a male secretary.
<Kit> <Null> Permission to survive two weeks, sir!
* Anyata facefaults, then looks between Null and Wein.
<Wiendigo> Not that one, the other one. The secretary's secret-whatever the hell the chain of command is, I don't give a damn.
<Kit> <Null> My assembly was fifty two weeks ago. I would hate to die on an odd week. At least two would make it fifty-four.
<DeathStar> <Dominator> Of course, sir. 6* He motions for the two girls to follow him, then marches out
* Anyata practically drags Null with her, to prevent further absurdity.
<Kit> 6Null nods, then makes a noise as she's tugged along.
<DeathStar> <Wind> I see you still have the touch, Wiendigo. 6* He notes, watching them exit.
* Wiendigo turns to Wind, his reflection appearing in his sunglasses. "I warned them putting me in charge was a bad idea."
<DeathStar> <Wind> You're the most experienced person in the galaxy; what with Dominator being as he is.
<Kit> 6The elf tugs on Wind. 1"...Is he dead?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> He's a reploid, Megumi. If you listen, you can hear other things that indicate he's alive.
<Kit> <Elf> ...Mm. Yes. Sounds like Zephyr." 6She coddles the teddy bear.
* Anyata looks at Null, smiling a bit. "You really are new, aren't you?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> There's some things I need to discuss with you, Wiendigo. Important things.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator walks along, exactly ten paces ahead of the two, probably to tune them out
<Kit> <Null> I most certainly am not. I have been at full operation for a year, I'll have you know.
<Wiendigo> Yeah, yeah, when aren't they important. C'mon, we'll go to my office.
* Anyata grins a little. "Oh, okay."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind nods. He peers at Megumi. "Explore the station. I need to speak with him privately." 6* He turns to follow Wiendigo
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Wiendigo. Wennibago.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind winces; 20 years ago, that would have gotten her killed
* Wiendigo sneers.
<Kit> <Megumi> Like sound. Sound strong.
<Kit> 6Megumi peers up at Wind, nodding quietly, then turns her head about before slowly walking slowly after Dominator and the two reploid girls.
<Anyata> "So what were you built to do Null?"
* Wiendigo grunts. "Cute kid you got there." *turns and heads out of the hangar, in the direction of his office.
<DeathStar> <Wind> I should have you know Slasher took bets that you'd have crashed this station into the ocean by now. 6* He checks his datapad. Then raps on the shuttle to wake up Slasher.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Come on, Slasher.
<Kit> <Null> Um. Good stuff!
<DeathStar> 6* Wind walks after Wiendigo. "You can say she reminded me of someone."
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher jerks awake, wiping drool off his chin. Then eyes Wind and Wiendigo, sighing. He moves out of the shuttle to meet up with them
<Kit> 6Null seems to think on it. 1"I-- wasn't really finished, I think. But they told me I could clean up battlefields of dangerous stuff-- and make dinner."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator steps onto an elevator
<Anyata> "So you're a utility unit?" *she seems a bit surprised, getting on the elevator*
<Wiendigo> Bets, huh? I'll have to put a couple grand down on a year from now, then.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> I thought you said the station was on a collision course with the ocean.
<Kit> <Null> I don't know! Is that bad?
* Anyata glances at Dominator. "D-Doubt it, if you got hired."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator's expression indicates he has little voice in who gets hired
<Wiendigo> Given our fun little reunion here, it'll probably happen by the end of the day.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator points at the buttons. "The top button is the command center, this button here is your quarters." 6* He hits it.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> I hope so, I have a lot of lubrication I need to buy.
<Kit> <Null> Mavericks killed mama and papa. I wanted to help Weindigo and Colephantus, but um. I was told I have bad timing." 6She notes. 1"Before I knew where to look, the war was over the next day."
* Anyata eyes it, making a note in her head about it. "Alright sir." *she then looks at Null, raising a brow* "Well... better late then never."
* Wiendigo approches another set of elevators and hits a button for another foor. "All right, so what's so damn important we need to discuss?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> I should begin by explaining it ties into the incident six months ago; you weren't there, but you heard about alternate reality versions of ourselves aiding us to fight Xevil, correct?
<Kit> <Null> Well, there aren't any Mavericks, now, I hear. At least I haven't heard of any. But I saw the tournament! --and this is where Wiendigo ended up, right? It has be a good thing. I want to do good things.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Along with a few of us coming back from the dead; like Dias and Pope.
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher wiggles his finger in his ear as he listens
<Anyata> "No there aren't... and good riddance." *her tone goes deathly cold* "There'll always be other problems to handle though."
<Kit> <Null> I bet I could be that strong, eventually." 6She boasts. 1"Supposed to adapt. It's in my programming. Only problem is I don't know how. Haa haa haa."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator steps out once his doors open, moving down the hallway.
* Wiendigo scratches the back of his head. "I, uh-Yeah, didn't read that report. A little too big for my attention span."
* Anyata moves after Dominator, dragging Null along again.
<Wiendigo> I told Dominator to give me a summary about it. Two hours later, I woke up.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> I have one that has pictures you can look at.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Fair enough. I kept the truth to myself because I had hoped there wouldn't have been consequences; I was wrong.
* Wiendigo gets on the elevator. "There's a surprise."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind steps on
<Kit> 6Null makes more noises, then settles into pace. 1"In any case, the bits of programming I do have state that I'm supposed to work toward peaceful life by removing malicious elements. That would definitely have been war products and then Mavericks, but now... I suppose this place is as good as any to find a purpose in. Well."
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher steps on with them
<Kit> <Null> Eventually. It's kind of boring right now! By the way, you like sweets? I'm pretty good at cookies. Wait, did I mention that before? I don't really remember...
* Wiendigo hits a button and off the elevator goes.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> I'm hurt Wind. You kept a secret from me?
<Anyata> "I think you did, and I do. And we both seem to have a similar reason to be here."
<Kit> <Null> I worked with refugee assistance for a while as a homemaker." 6She smiles.
<DeathStar> <Wind> The truth is this: I recreated our reality six months ago in order to aid that other team. You see, our reality died over 1000 years due to us killing Atheos and Theos. It's a long story, and irrelevant, but I took the Centerpoint power to be able to make new realities. I made their reality, things went bad, etc. Due to the Xevil incident, I took the remaining bit of power I had to remake our reality.
<Anyata> "Ah... well... I'm sure you'll find something to do here." *she looks away a little, like compared to that whatever she might say would be strange*
* Wiendigo hits the stop on the elevator. "Wait, you-WHAT?"
<Kit> <Null> Hey, you're just making me talk. I'm sure Captain Tightass here wants to hear about you. I'm kind of boring.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind peers at Wiendigo. "I played God. I don't have the powers anymore; I used what little I had to bring our world back. It's why people like Dias and Pope came back."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator stops in front of Room 145. "This is your shared room." 6* He holds out a card key to them both.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> God? You know what I think about people playing god.
<Anyata> "H-He's Dominator, you should wipe the other name." *she smiles a bit* "But..." *she blinks, taking the card and bowing a little* "Thank you sir."
* Wiendigo rolls his eyes. "Wonderful, that's bloody wonderful."
* Xan|Gone is now known as Xanatos
<DeathStar> <Wind> I'm aware of what playing God details; I'm not proud of it. But I wanted our world back, and we were needed to fight Xevil."
* Wiendigo hits the elevator to continue
<Kit> <Null> You think so? Hey, tell me what you want to be called and I'll rewrite the entry how you like it." 6She smiles at Dominator.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> I'm just glad you got my penis size right. 6He beams proudly. 1"So you said consequences. What sort are we talking about? Dogs living with cats kind?
<DeathStar> <Wind> I don't know who all came back to life. I didn't exactly have the power to pick and choose.
<DeathStar> <Wind> The other day I got reports Ghoul was alive, and so it's led me to consider there's many more out there alive we don't know about - good and bad.
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher eyes him at that. 1"Tell me you're not talking about...them.
* Wiendigo steps out of the elevator as they hit their floor.
<Wiendigo> Which means some of our old big bads might be back and part of the not-dead variety.
* Anyata looks between Null and Dominator, taking the moment to use her key to open the room.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Right. Mavericks. Sigma. Any number of aliens.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind follows Wiendigo. "It means we have to begin to search the planet thoroughly."
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> ....Catgons. 6He shakes his fist.
<Wiendigo> Hey, I had Sigma last time, one of you two can handle this time.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Send Dominator.
<Wiendigo> Done.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> If Sigma's back, then the virus is back too. 6He glances at Wind. 1"You still have the cure handy?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> I felt you should be on alert, though, considering we can't predict who's back. Which means we could have any number of enemies. If Seraphna could come back and she died years ago, it could go back even further.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Wiendigo is the cure.
* Wiendigo approaches a door and steps through; his office. As far as decadence goes...this room has none. It's virtually bare, except for a desk and a couple chairs.
<Kit> 6Null continues smiling at Dominator with completely clear innocence.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> Then we should drain him of all his precious antibodies while we can.
<DeathStar> <Dominator> When you're settled in, go to Floor 5. I'll be waiting there
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator marches off.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> This is your office? 6He eyes the place
* Wiendigo does to set down behind the desk, then pauses, glancing to Wind. "Then....Iceheart..."
* Anyata leans in and whispers, "Just use Captain or Dominator with him, it's for the best." *she then drags her into the room*
<Kit> <Null> H-Hey! You never said!" 6She turns, eyeing Anyata, grinning. 1"Cool! A shared room!" 6Then runs after Dominator.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind pauses. "It's one reason I'm here..." 6* He holds a datapad to him
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher pulls out a copy of his book and tosses it on Wien's desk. He looks over at Wind now, studying him
* Wiendigo takes the pad and sits down. "Yeh, this is my office. I'm not one for decortating."
<DeathStar> 6* It's a picture of Iceheart. The date is a few days ago; it's not a good picture, clearly a street cam, adn she's on the move.
* Wiendigo glances at the book, and an autograph. "To Assface..."
* Anyata sighs and rubs her head, she tosses her bag onto a bed, closes the door, and then moves after Null, catching up to her quickly.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> I thought it captured your true self.
<Wiendigo> Gee, thanks. Jerkoff.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator waits by the elevator.
<Kit> 6Null circles him, laughing. 1"Hey, c'mon, just tell meeee!"
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> Well if she came back, do you think it's possible that Atheos and Theos came back too?
* Wiendigo looks at the picture. "Do we know where this was?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> Mega City. She's back, but clearly not advertising her presence. And no. Those two were a failsafe. One that I didn't recreate.
* Anyata steps on the elevator. She holds her head in a facepalm, watching Null.
<Kit> 6The elevator re-arrives, opening with Megumi on it. Who hits one of the higher floors. 1"...Going. Up."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator stares.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> I just wish you would've accidentaly create two Cheryls for me. 6He lets out a dramatic sigh
<DeathStar> <Wind> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Wind taps his comm as it beeps, turning to talk to someone. "Katrina? ... I see."
<Anyata> "I'm sorry sir... she seems excited, better humor her."
<Kit> <Null> Fine, I'll just call you Dom.
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher peers at Wind now. 1"Something up?
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator gets on the next elevator, hitting a floor
<Kit> 6Null follows him on, swaying off to the side.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Katrina has been on a dig site the last few weeks; something about a new hobby. They apparantly found something she thinks we'd all three want to see."
<DeathStar> <Dominator> You may call me Commander.
<Kit> <Null> Th-That's really long. Com, okay?
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher raises a brow, a very interested look on his face. 1"D-Did she give a hint?
<DeathStar> <Wind> Something about a book
* Wiendigo leans back in his chair, removing his sunglasses. "Great, a field trip. Should we bring the new blood, they'd be great cannon fodder."
* Anyata sighs and pulls Null onto the elevator with Dom, getting in herself.
<Kit> 6Null was already on the elevator, hence previous action.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> Well why would that interest Wiendigo? He's ya know... 6He makes a retarded face
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator steps out and moves for the training room, where they have Colephantus. "This man will be training and testing you."
<Kit> <Null> Holy sheep! It's Colephantus!
<DeathStar> <Wind> Might as well bring them. If Katrina's calling about something, I tend to take it serious
<Xanatos> 6* Cole peers up, tilting his head slightly. 1...people know about me?
* Anyata looks at Null, then over at Cole, she looks him up and down. "Well yeah."
<Kit> 6Null moves out to run around Cole, examining him like a museum exhibit.
<Wiendigo> If I had a paperweight, I'd chuck it at your head.
* Anyata shakes her head and steps out, smiling a bit at Null's antics.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Use a chair.
<Wiendigo> Nah, I like this chair. Just got the assgrooves formed right.
<Kit> <Null> Of course I know you. You were on the news a lot-- They said you were bad, but you helped Wiendigo, so I think you're good.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> Aww, I knew you liked me.
<Kit> 6Null gets a serious look. 1"You are good, right? I don't want to have to..." 6She makes a face fighting pose.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> Well we shouldn't keep the very seductive Katrina waiting.
<Kit> NRP: *fake
<Xanatos> <Cole> Well, good or bad is kinda just words. Anywho, I'll be giving you schedules and we'll put you two against each other to see just how well you handle a fight.
<Chad`Winters> 6He motions a figure with his hands, whistling
<Kit> <Null> Aw, I don't wanna fight her. She's nice.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Tought titty. Them's the rules.
<Kit> 6Null brings her hands up excitedly. 1"Hey, do you like cookies?"
<Anyata> "Right here sir?" *she blinks and looks at Null, at a loss* "We'll be careful."
<DeathStar> <Wind> ... she's a virgin. She better stay that way. 6* He warns Slasher
* Wiendigo hits a com button on the desk. "Dom. Round up the kids and meet us in the hanger, we're taking a little trip."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator pauses, then rubs his temples.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Mega City
<DeathStar> 6* Terra, the leader of the special unit, drives a van down the street at 120 mph, chasing a bunch of bank robbers; she's already almost killed 3 old ladies and wrecked two civilian vehicles. Crowded in the van is the rest of the unit
* Anyata is now known as Elayne
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad tumbles about in the back, cursing all to hell
<Elayne> "Still not the worst driving I've ever seen... but jeez..." *she grips onto a seat for dear life*
* Wiendigo is now known as Gravedigger
<DeathStar> 6* Terra smashes a motorcyclist off the road; he goes -_-
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> She's still better then that terrible Lunarian race.
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax twitches from his spot, making a grumbling noise.
<DeathStar> 6* The bank robbers pull off and head down a street toward a group of warehouses; they slam to a stop and rush out into one
<Elayne> "...Lunarian race? Driving or the species?"
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> I'd say in general. 6He eyes the bank robbers stop ahead and grabs onto Phirax to brace himself
<DeathStar> 6* Terra crashes into their vehicle; she leaps out with her guns. "Come on, people."
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *rubs his forehead* Bloody great time to start sobberin' up, ugh.
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax makes a face. 1Who let her drive?
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> I said I'd drive.
<DeathStar> 6* Terra rushes into the warehouse without waiting
<Gravedigger> I think we wanted to stay alive, Chad.
* Elayne frowns a little. She sighs and pulls out her blaster. "No clue... should we follow her?"
<Xanatos> <Phirax> .... 6He gets out of the van and and peers up to see if there's any windows he could get a vantage point of.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad gives Grave the ol' stinkeye and he climbs out after Phirax
* Gravedigger follows after. "Fortune favors the boldly stupid, so, yeah."
* Elayne shakes her head and follows Grave. "If you say so."
<DeathStar> 6* The windows are about 10 feet high
<DeathStar> 6* Inside, a lot of shots can be heard
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *stops for a minute, throwing up*
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> ...Reploids first. 6He shifts to stand behind Gravedigger
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax takes his rifle and moves up to the door and shifts up beside it, peering in slightly to assess the situation.
* Gravedigger pulls his shovel off his back, walking in cautiously. "Spread out, look for cover."
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad jerks back as he's almost hit by the shovel. 1"H-Hey!"
<DeathStar> 6* It's dark inside; there's a lot of crates about the room - the smell of blood waifts in
* Elayne wrinkles her nose, she moves behind a crate for cover.
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax slips in and kneels, behind a crate, he waits a bit for his eyes to adjust before he peers around, looking for Terra.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad shifts behind a crate now, slowly peering around it
<DeathStar> 6* Something drips in Elayne's hair from above
<Elayne> * Elayne, slowly edges to one side and looks up with dread.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *follows in after the group, pulling out his guns* Crazy bitch, gonna get 'erself killed one of these days..
<DeathStar> 6* There's bodies hanging from the ceiling; their faces cut up in a familiar serial killer's signature calling card
<DeathStar> 6* One is fresh; one of the bank robbers
<Elayne> "G-Guys... look up."
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> I dont' see anything. 6He slowly creeps around the crate to get a better look.
<Xanatos> <Phirax> Pretty sure this might be that da-6He pauses and frowns. 1I know this.
<Gravedigger> Think we just stepped into a sticky situation here.
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead, a shadow can be seen falling over
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad points ahead. 1"I see something up there."
<Elayne> "Sticky, yeah..."
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax shifts and pulls out a pistol, approaching forward cautiously.
<DeathStar> 6* As Phirax gets closer, he'd see it's Terra, her face cut up; she falls over, dead, a gaping wound where her heart was. A familiar giggle fills the room
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad watches Phirax go by then peers around for the giggling
<Gravedigger> <Pope> No...bloody fuck, NO!
<Gravedigger> OUT!
<Gravedigger> Everyone out, now!
<Xanatos> <Phirax> It's Ghoul. He killed Terra. 6He shifts and moves aftert the others.
<DeathStar> 6* A voice counts down. 5. AT that moment, their van smashes the door in and the back doors open. A man shouts at them, "Get in now!"
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> But...6He backs up then moves out
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax jerks and moves to get intot he back of the van.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad moves into the back of the van
<DeathStar> 6* A man sits in their van's seat, a face full of beard, and a hat on. The giggling voice goes 4. 3. 2.
* Elayne frowns and starts to back up as well. She moves after Chad into the van.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *fires randomly into the darkness*
<DeathStar> <Voice> 1. -0-.
* Gravedigger dives into the back of the van. "Pope, c'mon, now!"
<Xanatos> <Phirax> POPE.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> WHY WON'T YOU STAY DEAD, YOU BASTARD!
<DeathStar> 6* At that moment, the crates begin to explode. The man in the driver seat hits the gas to get going
<Gravedigger> Shit, I hate this job. *dives back out of the van, going for Pope*
* Elayne holds onto something. "That's the last time I'm following a psychopath into a dark warehouse."
<DeathStar> 6* The man drives the van out and then hits the breaks, peering back. The warehouse continues to explode, then falls into pieces.
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> A-Are Grave and Pope going to be ok?!
* Gravedigger wraps his arm around Pope and starts hauling him back. "Dammit, Brit, we've gotta go!"
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *tries to fight Grave off* Sod off, I'm gonna take his bleedin' head off!
<DeathStar> 6* The man squints. PArt of the ceiling falls in near the two, blocking the exit. He backs up agani and smashes the debris aside.
<DeathStar> <Man> Hang on.
* Elayne looks back in fear. "Grave...?" *she eeps and grabs onto a seat*
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad holds onto Phirax again
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax jerks, trying to keep himself up, he eyes Chad slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* More of the warehouse caves in, landing on the van's ceiling; a crate near Grave and Pope explodes, sending them forward into the back of the van, but not entirely in it.
* Gravedigger looks around for another way out. "Not good, not good..."
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax reaches out to pull them both into the Van.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad let's go and moves to pull Pope on
<Gravedigger> OOF
* Elayne reaches out and tries to help as well, but she's all girly and weak.
* Gravedigger recovers and tries to help Chad
<Xanatos> <Phirax> Let's GO.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *tries to struggle free, but slowly loses out. "LET GO OF ME!"
<DeathStar> 6* The man hits the gas, trying to get the van free of the debris pinning them
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad punches Pope int he gut like only a 13 year could.
<DeathStar> 6* Another crate explodes, a few feet away; the next crate will probably detonate the van
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax shifts to climb on the roof, trying to push the debris off.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> URK *settles, then barfs again*
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> Wow! It actually hurt him!
<DeathStar> 6* As Phirax pushes, the van drives out wildly; right as the crate goes; the warehouse is 90% debris by the time the van stops
<Gravedigger> ...I think it had more to do with him being hungover.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad bounces a bit. 1"Like hell. I used my signature Gut Rocker punch and it floored him.
<DeathStar> 6* The man sits there, then peers back; a familiar face to a few. It's Ire. A man who's been dead for years.
* Elayne falls against someone as the van stops, looking back at the warehouse. "Good gods... glad we got out of that one."
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax drops off the roof and lets out a breath, shifting to rub some dirt from his face, he peers up slightly. 1Boss?
<DeathStar> <Ire> ...
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad peers at the man up front. 1"Who're you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Ire pops an asprin, then peers ahead. "What are you all doing here?"
* Elayne looks over at him, tilting her head. "Don't think I know this guy... memory's a bit fuzzy still though."
<Xanatos> <Phirax> We chased some bank robbers, our leader Terra just got herself killed by Ghoul. This is Ire everyone.
* Gravedigger dusts hims shoulder off. "Almost dying, evidentally."
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> Hi. 6He waves
<DeathStar> <Ire> Ghoul? ... ... I was tracking an agent of Seinreich's here... why would Ghoul be here, too...
<Gravedigger> <Pope> Bloody 'ell...ugh...*passes out*
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> Who's Sei...Seinri..The second guy you were talking about?
<Elayne> "...Could they possibly be one and the same? Sorry but all these names are new to me."
<DeathStar> 6* Ire shakes his head, then eyes Pope. "... lets get back to your base so I can talk to your leader. And somene can explain why I'm alive."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: South America; The Rainforest
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands before a temple in the forest; Wind swats a mosquito, eyeing it.
* Gravedigger is now known as Wiendigo
* Elayne is now known as Anyata
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> Did I ever tell you the time I helped restore the jungle and all of Earth back to it's former glory?
* Wiendigo looks at Wind, swating the mosquito. "Thought you went all Zen-Bhuddist or something."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's just inside. 6* She moves up the steps
<DeathStar> <Wind> Hah. Hardly. Why would they even bite me? I don't have blood per say.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole moves up beside her, glancing over to give her a smile. 1Hi, Kat.
<Kit> <Megumi> Smell human. Bug assume.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives Cole a return smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind moves to follow after them
<Kit> <Null> Awesome. We just arrived today and already have a mission!" 6She swings her arms in place like Cloud in flashbacks.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> How are you doing, Cole?
* Wiendigo follows up behind Kat, rather intently.
* Anyata peers around, she snatches a misquito in her hand and stares at it, then lets it go and follows the others.
<Anyata> "Just be careful Null, this place looks old."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Fair enough, just trying to get back into the swing of things. You?
<DeathStar> 6* The trees appear to watch the girls' boobs.
<Kit> <Null> H-Hey, you be careful, too!
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher shifts behind Wiend, peering over his shoulder. 1"Man she has a beautiful..."
<Kit> 6Null nudges Anyata. 1"That tree is totally checking you out."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Exploring these ruins; they weren't here six months ago. I hear you're a Hunter now.
<Anyata> "I will. Thanks." *she smiles, then slowly eyes a tree* "Wha...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Wind pushes Slasher down the steps
* Wiendigo smirks
<Kit> <Megumi> Haa haa." 6She pauses, then tries not to laugh at Slasher.
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher tumbles down, cursing ever single time
<Wiendigo> Wish I'd thought of that.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Yup. Hard to believe they'd want someone like me, huh?
<DeathStar> <Wind> I think of it far too often
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher comes running back up again, huffing. 1"You didn't let me finish."
<Kit> <Megumi> Will do next time. Must keep good reputation as president. Secretary disposable.
* Anyata grabs Null and drags her along again, this seems to be habitual.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps into the entrance at the top; it's a simple room with a stone pedastal with a book on it
<DeathStar> 6* The book doesn't look that old
<DeathStar> 6* It has a large black cover, and it's opened, as if someone already looked at it
<Xanatos> <Cole> So what's so weird about this place, exactly?
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher gives Wind an evil look then quickly moves over to Kat, peering at the book. 1"Did you open it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina moves over to the book, then picks it up. She shows it to them, flipping through the middle to the end, all blank pages
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Sweetie, you had us come to this hell to look at a blank book?
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> What's in the front half?
<Xanatos> <Cole> Maybe it's on of those where you write something down and someone dies!?
<Wiendigo> Tabula Rasa.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds up a finger, moving to the beginning. She taps it for them to read.
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher leans forward to read quickly
* Anyata crosses her arms, eyeing it.
<Kit> <Null> Is it a fairy tale?! I love those.
<DeathStar> 6* It describes the events of what happened six months ago.
<Kit> 6Null hops over to Katrina, smiling. 1"Hey, you seem to know Cole, by the way. Who're you? I'm Null, pleased to meet you!"
<Xanatos> 6* Cole slowly peers forward, hoping to not see his name, he pauses. 1Hey holy crap, that's some in depth stuff.
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher raises a brow at that. Then punches Wiend in the gut.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm Katrina McCormick. It's nice to meet you
<Anyata> "So... someone wrote down what happened and just left it here?"
<Anyata> "Oh right... and I'm Anyata."
<Kit> <Null> You're pretty.
* Wiendigo recoils a tad. "Agh, bastich..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina then flips to the last bit; it describes Wind talking to Wiendigo and Slasher an hour ago, then it talks about Slasher punching Wiendigo in a temple
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher moves to the book, flipping to the last filled page
<Xanatos> <Cole> Holy crap. So if I do some jumping jacks, it'll record it?
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> This is amazing.
<Anyata> "Wait... what? How is that possible?"
<DeathStar> 6* It also goes on to talk about Ghoul and Seinreich teaming up to 'lead an army of the dead'.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Uh. I don't like that last part.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> This is bad tho.
* Wiendigo grabs Cole's shoulder. "Don't. No one wants to read about your stupid jumping jacks."
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> It actually talks about events that haven't happened yet. Like Ire talking command of the Special Unit after Terra dies.
<DeathStar> *taking
<Kit> 6Megumi kneels and dips her pinky in some of the mud about, then walks over and scribbles 'a butterfly flutters by.'
<Anyata> "And they'll definately come true?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher looks up at Kat then back at the book, then Wind, his hand grabbing Meg's to stop her. 1"We need to keep this out of bad hands
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't know. Slasher did punch Wiendigo, and that was written
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a page fills in
* Anyata peers at the words.
<Wiendigo> Wait a minute.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Whoa, what's it saying now?
<Kit> 6Megumi makes a face, squirming a bit as Slasher grabs her wrist. 1"..."
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> Don't scribble in magic books. 6He points a scolding finger at her then looks at the book
<DeathStar> 6* Wind leans in. "It's...talking about a Presidential assassination...leading to two dead bodies bringing about the end of the world. And something baout a President Kane."
<DeathStar> <Wind> ... it's not talking about this reality.
<Wiendigo> Kid's got an interesting idea. What happens if someone writes in it?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not sure.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> That other reality?
<Kit> <Megumi> Man stop me from finding out...
<Xanatos> <Cole> Uh. Yeah I totally don't know any President Kane's.
<Anyata> "What other reality?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> I think so. From the looks of it, people are about to start dying over there... How is it tied to Ghoul and Senreich, though?
<Kit> <Null> There's other... realities? Like other 'real' stuff?
<DeathStar> 6* Wind pauses, then motions Megumi to try her butterfly thing
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher let's her hand go
<Kit> 6Megumi pauses awkwardly, then nods to Wind and scribbles about a butterfly.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Think they could move to the other place?
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing seems to happen; Katrina looks disappointed.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> It'd be strange to think they'd have found a way when nobody even knew it existed.
<DeathStar> <Wind> I don't know. We should take this book back to the station and read it thoroughly. See what these two are doing. And see if Ire's really back.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Who here can head to Mega City to check it out?
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> The station would be the safest place for it.
<Kit> <Null> Aw, but we just got here. Who's 'Ire?' Isn't ire something bad?
<Xanatos> <Cole> Uh. Want me?
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> I'd prefer to study this book more myself.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Go ahead. Take Dominator with you, if Wiendigo doesn't mind.
<Kit> <Null> Colephantus is going? Oh, oh! I want to go!
<Wiendigo> Take him, get him out of my hair for awhile.
<Kit> 6Null dances, her arm up cheerfully.
* Anyata rubs the back of her head. "I think I should stick with Null here."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, then flips to a page. She points. "Oh, Dad, I thought you'd want to know, there's a passage here about Iceheart being attacked by someone."
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher looks over at Wind
<Xanatos> 6* Cole nods to them and gives Kat a smile, moving out for the shuttle.
<Kit> 6Megumi frowns slightly.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's after Slasher punching Wiendigo, so it might not have happened yet.
<Chad`Winters> 6He bites his nail now. 1"I just thought about something. If we have all these other people back, it's possible Death Star may be back too then.
<Kit> 6Null makes a huzzah motion, then skips after Cole.
<DeathStar> <Wind> ... can we prevent things from happening...?
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> It'd depend on how far ahead this book rights events
* Anyata heads after Null, rolling her eyes a little.
* Wiendigo adjusts his shades. "Well, guess I'm going to get some sparring into today afterall."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind nods; Katrina hands Wiendigo a datapad about where she thinks the attack happens. It's in Mega City, too
* Wiendigo looks at Wind. "If not, we can always just start fresh."
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> Play it safe Wien.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Right. Katrina, Slasher, and I will examine the book; we'll contact you if something else appears.
<Wiendigo> No such thing.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole whistles and moves up the ramp, getting the shuttle prepped.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Mega City
* Wiendigo is now known as Gravedigger
* Anyata is now known as Elayne
<DeathStar> 6* Ire stands in the Special Unit's building on the top floor, peering about it quietly; his old office is there in the corner. A moment ago, they were told members from the Hunters were arriving in a few minutes
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad rolls around in a chair.
<DeathStar> 6* He makes a face at Terra's changs to his office; an empty jar that once held Sil has been made into a shrine
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax stands by his desk, arms crossed, he pauses and does a little adjusting to his arm. 1What about Dahok, any word from him?
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *propped up in a chair, rolling a bottle of scotch around in his hands*
* Elayne frowns a bit as she grabs her jacket off the back of a chair, stuffing it into a drawer and closing it. "This is a mess."
* Gravedigger looks at Ire. "Okay, so why exactly where you at that wherehouse?"
<DeathStar> 6* Ire turns to look at Pope, then the others. "I don't know. I found myself alive six months ago. While trying to figure things out, I came across a few members of 5th Column."
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad rolls over to the others. 1"5th Column?"
<DeathStar> <Ire> Concerned, I began to spy on their operations, over in Europe. That's when I learned that walking corpse Seinreich was alive. A few weeks ago, they began to deliver things here to Mega City."
<Gravedigger> What things?
<Xanatos> <Phirax> We worked so hard to bring them down before, it's hard to believe it was all for nothing.
<Elayne> "So you found yourself alive too huh?"
<DeathStar> <Ire> That warehouse was one of their storehouses. I was about to explore it when you all showed up. As far as I can tell, weapons and explosives. Adn dead bodies.
<DeathStar> <Ire> As far as what the 5th Column is, it's a group of German Nazis wanting to bring back the Nazi Empire. And take over London
* Gravedigger looks at Pope with a concerned look, then at Ire with the same look.
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> Oh.
<Elayne> "Seems almost small minded."
<DeathStar> <Ire> If Ghoul is involved, I can't see how; unless he's providing them with more corpses.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> They don't need to be small-minded, luv, if there's enough minds to get it done.
<Elayne> "True enough."
<DeathStar> 6* Coming up from downstairs, Dominator moves in with Cole and the two girls; Wiendigo may be there, too, unless he went straight to look for Iceheart
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> So you're saying we have a bunch of evil zombies that want to take over the world. Sounds fun
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *hurls his bottle against a wall* More corpses? Aren't we all just a buncha walkin' corpses?!
<Elayne> "I saw this in a movie once."
<Gravedigger> Pope, jeeze, calm down!
<DeathStar> <Ire> That's a good question. It could be they've found a way to bring back the dead. It could explain their desire for bodies
<Elayne> * Anyata looks around, eyes narrowed as she surveys the team.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *looks at Ire* Then what the 'ell are we, mate?
<Xanatos> 6* Cole peers around at them, tilting his head slightly.
<DeathStar> <Ire> I don't know anymore.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire pops another asprin, then peers at Cole
<Xanatos> <Phriax> Guess I'll have to face my brother again. 6he lets out a breath.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Uh. You the leader of this operation?
<Kit> <Null> It's like they haven't even noticed us.
<DeathStar> <Ire> No
<DeathStar> <Dominator> Warren Carmichael. Alias Ire. He died two years ago
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> Can I be leader? 6He hops off his chair
<Xanatos> <Cole> Terra's dead right? I believe that would put you in charge, right?
<Elayne> "She's sorta dead. Sorry."
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *throws himself back into a chair* I 'member, y'know, dyin'. Gettin' shot to hell, my leg fallin' off nexta me, then, boom, I'm 'ere. What the bloody 'ell. I need 'nother drink.
<Elayne> * Anyata grumbles about a book.
<DeathStar> <Ire> As he said, I died two years ago. I was sliced to death by lasers.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *grumbles* Bloody murderin' shite, comin' back to life. Death don't mean nothin' no more...
<Kit> <Null> You're wrong!
<Xanatos> <Cole> Almost everyone in this room died at one point. But now everyone is back, and we've got a bit of a mess.
<DeathStar> <Dominator> You're alive now. And you seem to nkow what's going on. We have evidence Ghoul and Seinreich are putting together an army. We're hoping you can provide insight, since you fought them before.
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> Hey! It means my dad and mom came back and that's all that matters!
<DeathStar> <Ire> ...
<Elayne> "And I died a while before that, blown to smithereens. Seems to be a regular thing for some of us."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator peers at his comm as it beeps. He talks a moment, then looks serious. "We have more information on the attack on Iceheart. We think it's going to be by the 5th Column. Are you interested in helping?"
<Kit> <Null> No longer being dead is a gift! Mama and papa are still dead, after all. Use it wisely!" 6She says with a straight face.
<DeathStar> <Dominator> In exchange, we'll explain how you came back to life.
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax glances to Ire.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire rubs his beard, then shrugs. "Fine."
<Elayne> * Anyata puts a hand on Null's shoulder.
<Gravedigger> We're at your disposal, Dom, we need our answers, too.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad claps his hands together now.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Good to see you Grave. 6He gives him a nod.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator nods, heading for the roof. "We'll take the shuttle."
<Kit> <Null> Com Dom, we have a mission?
<Xanatos> <Cole> Yes. To the shuttle. 6He moves after Dom.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire moves over to touch Pope's shoulder. "Lets end this."
* Gravedigger nods to Cole
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax grabs his rifle. 1Maybe it'll stick this time, y'think?
<Kit> 6Null makes another huzzah motion, moving quickly after them
<Gravedigger> <Pope> Don't matter, mate, in the end, it all comes back 'round.
<Elayne> * Anyata heads after Null again, Elayne follows as well.
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> *Is on the roof, smoking a cigar*
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad moves afte the others, a bounce in his step
<DeathStar> 6* Ire eyes Wiendigo
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax moves after the others.
* Gravedigger follows after everyone, hauling Pope put of his chair. "C'mon, you emo-git."
<DeathStar> 6* After a tiny time jump, they've been in the shuttle; Dominator explains what happened six months ago, due to Wind's interference. "He apparantly had no control in who was brought back to life. And we have no idea who all is back."
<DeathStar> <Ire> ...
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> *eyes Ire*
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> So a lot of bad guys that my dad and uncle helped defeat are back?
<Xanatos> <Cole> Basically any enemy or ally from the past could be alive again.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire peers out the window, missing a group of catgons swooping down to kidnap a poor guy off the street
<Gravedigger> Yeah, kiddo, that's right.
<Kit> <Null> All of them, probably!
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> Sweet. 6He punches his fist into an open palm.
<Elayne> "Well I remember that, and fighting Xevil again."
<Xanatos> <Phirax> Makes you kind of wonder what everythign we done was even for.
<DeathStar> <Ire> Ask Wind. Apparantly he fancie himself God.
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> I think you should be happy that you're alive again. 6He nods
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> Better not piss him off then.
<Elayne> * Anyata looks out the window, her eyes narrowing. "So... Sigma could be back?"
<DeathStar> <Ire> Should I?
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> Yeah, more than likely. And every son of a bitch we;ve ever faced.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad nods. 1"Being alive is better then being dead.
<Xanatos> <Cole> It's okay Wien. You didn't have me around to help before.
<Kit> <Null> Hm. Does that mean the Mavericks will return?
<Elayne> Anyata> "Just great..."
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator brings the shuttle down to land in an alley; the area looks rather desered, a bunch of empty buildings in the downtown area that closed as businesses moved
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad peers around
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> Hm.
<DeathStar> <Dominator> Scanners are detecting a reploid signature, and 15 humans following it
* Elayne wrings her hands a little.
<DeathStar> <Dominator> ... 14 human signatures now
<Xanatos> <Cole> Well we'd best get out there and help this Iceheart person.
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> Dom, send them out. I'm heading out solo.
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> Sounds like she needs our help then.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator nods. He gets to his feet. "Lets go people."
<Kit> <Null> One's... gone?
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax and Cole both get to their feet, moving down the ramp.
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> *starts climbing up the side of a building and moves off*
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator moves down the ramp, issuing orders to stick together and follow him
* Elayne gets up and looks around slowly, moving down the ramp, Anyata pat's Null gently and leads her out of the shuttle.
<Kit> 6Null looks less than her energetic self at that note, but nods, getting up. 1"Is this a combative engagement?"
<Gravedigger> Nice to see some things never change.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad adjusts his gloves and moves down the ramp. 1"Yep, it means somon...Hello beautiful." 6He smiles at Null
<Kit> <Null> Hi, stranger!
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax shoulders the rifle as he moves, peering out cautiously.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad blatantly checks her out then jerks, moving after the others to keep up
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *stands next to Ire* Just like the old days.
<DeathStar> <Ire> Too much so
<Kit> 6Null moves and jumps down from the ramp, trotting after Dominator and Anyata.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire checks his pistols, letitng the talkative ones take the lead, so he's less likely to be noticed
* Gravedigger hauls ass after everyone
<Elayne> * Anyata sighs a bit and looks back at Null, then moves along after Dom, Elayne sticks near Grave, pulling out her blaster as she moves.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole hmms, testing his fingers slightly. 1Hope we're enough. I still feel like I'm on like level -1.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator moves them along and around, taking a detour. After a bit of a jog, they can see from their position 14 Nazis moving down the street with guns armed; one trips something and ice shards implant in his face
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad grimaces a bit at that
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax glances left and then right, looking for a place to set up position.
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining 13 issue orders and split into two groups. After a moment, one shouts in German, pointing at a building where a trench coat figure runs inside; the Nazis move to surround the building
<DeathStar> 6* The building is surrounded by buildings, giving them many vantage points, and each building has a side alley it seems
<Xanatos> <Cole> Ready to take them down? 6he glances to Dominator.
<Kit> <Null> Hm, combative engagement confirmed." 6She brings one hand up, activating a shift, going from civilian clothing to blatant armor.
<Elayne> * Anyata watches the soldiers, looking to Dom for orders, looking like she's itching to get in there.
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> Yeah, let's take them down.
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax shifts for a fire escape, moving to get some higher ground.
<DeathStar> <Dominator> They're going to surround the buildings; we should split in two. Cole, led the two new recruits for those ging in the front door. The rest of us will take the back door quietly
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> *dives off a nearby building and hurls himself through a window in the surrounded building, on a higher floor*
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator motions Grave to help Cole
<Gravedigger> Right.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *pulls out his guns and checks his stock*
<Xanatos> <Cole> Gotcha. 6he nods to the two and begins to move forward.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire nods once, moving to follow Dominator as he circles around. The trench coat figure runs up the stairs, and swings an ice dagger at Wiendigo, mostly on instinct.
<Kit> <Null> Understood. Current distance requiring ranged negotiation." 6She holds out her hand, performing a similar method to clutch what looks like a revolver.
<Elayne> * Anyata nods back and moves with Cole, her hands out like she's holding blades.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad moves with Ire
<DeathStar> 6* The first group, made of 7, move i nteh front door now
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> *catches the trenchcoat figure's arm*
<Gravedigger> Sloppy.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart grabs Wiendigo's arm, trying to judo throw him, then pauses, staring. "Wiendigo."
<Gravedigger> ooc: Wien said that
<Elayne> * Elayne quietly follows Ire.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator's group moves around the back; the six in the back are holding position, covering the rear
<Xanatos> 6* Cole nods to the others and activates a minigun on one arm and beam Katar on the other, he dashes for the front door now.
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> Ice. Been awhile.
<Kit> <Null> Holding fire, Colephantus authorise." 6She notes, sprinting after him.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart peers down, where a second dagger is aimed at his crotch, then at him.
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax shifts and moves in a roundabout way with Dom's team, taking up an aiming position on the rear team, holding fire.
<Elayne> * Anyata moves after Cole and Null, swiftly gaining on them.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad shifts to a quiet stop as he waits now
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks to leap through the door, firing on the closest nazi he can find.
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> *shrugs* I figured it was foreplay.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire takes aim, as does Dominator. Once Cole opens fire, Dominator orders his group to fire
<Kit> 6Null pauses at the doorway, peering at everybody firing. 1"H-Hey, you never said I could shoot!"
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax begins to fire careful shots, trying to get headshots but will settle for chest shots.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart peers down as Cole opens fire on a nazi; there's still three mor edown there, and they turn to aim, firing strange weapons at him.
* Gravedigger dives through after Cole, rolling across the floor
<Elayne> * Anyata moves around Cole and goes in low and fast, energy blades flashing into being a she closes into melee.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator and Ire fire at the back group.
<Gravedigger> COLE, DOWN!
<Elayne> * Elayne fires her blaster at the back group.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks and falls fown, 1SHOOT.
<DeathStar> 6* The strange weapons fly over Cole and hit the wall, vaporizing it instantly
<Xanatos> <Cole> HOLY fuckign shit that was crazy! 6He throws out lightning for one of the three.
<Kit> 6Null steps in, aiming upward with her pistol, for the center, and a loud recoil goes off, an energy weapon, but fires just like a revolver.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *dives for cover behind an iron beam*
<Elayne> * Anyata leaps into one of them, slashing almost meniachly with her blades.
<DeathStar> 6* Two Nazis run up the stairs beside Iceheart and Wiendigo, aiming. Iceheart shifts to swing Wiendigo out at one's face so he can deal with him
<DeathStar> 6* Null, Cole, and Anyata take out the three, leaving the bottom floor cleared; the other 3 must be up the stairs, since one was already dead due to COle's first action
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> *unseaths his katana, grinning* C'mon, you assholes!
<DeathStar> 6* Dom's group takes out 5 Nazis, and the sixth one dives behind some garbage bins, aiming adn firing a strange weapon at them
<Kit> <Null> Cool, you use swords, too!
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad kicks out from his spot as he moves in towards the side of the garbage cans
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *calls out* So, we got a plan 'ere or what?!
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart throws her dagger out into one's throat; Wien's nazi aims at him, firing in a panic without aiming
<Elayne> * Anyata makes her blades vanish. "Yes, I'm a swift blade."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jumps to his feet and motions to them, moving to flank the ones on teh stairs.
<Kit> 6Null moves in from the doorway, heading for the stairs. She lets the gun disappear and pulls a hilt out of subspace, activating a beam saber. 1"Hee hee!"
<Xanatos> <Phirax> Let little kid there show his stuff.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator ducks, eyeing the weapon vaporize a building wall, and send it toppling toward them
<DeathStar> <Ire> LOOK OUT
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> *jerks his body down and to the right, then slides in, rammin his sword into the nazi's chest*
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad moves in and kicks into the garbage cans.
<Elayne> * Anyata moves swiftly for the stairs as well, hands still poised as though armed.
<Gravedigger> <Pope> Bloody 'ell! *dives out of the way*
<DeathStar> 6* The nazi gags, bleeding out. The third one on the stairs aims, then pauses as Cole's team comes up; he turns, firing down at them, leaving himself open to Wien and Ice
<DeathStar> 6* Ire and Dominator dive forward to avoid the building; the nazi outside fires into the cans, vaporizing them, then fires at Chad
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks and jumps back, firing up toward the man blindly with his minigun.
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> *dumps the body over the side and moves towards the other nazi*
<Chad`Winters> Chad eeps and leaps to the side, rolling
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad eeps and leaps to the side, rolling
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax pulls himself up and advances slightly, taking aim to fire towards the last nazi.
<DeathStar> 6* The nazi avoids COle's shots and runs into Wiendigo. He pauses, paling
<Elayne> * Anyata jerks and carries her momentum up the wall and leaps to dodge the gunfire.
<Kit> 6Null shifts to her side and in front of Cole, holding up her free hand and taking the smaller energy shots-- erasing them.
<DeathStar> 6* Phirax hits the nazi, who stumbles, dropping his weapon; it slides toward Pope
<Elayne> Anyata> "That's a neat one Null."
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad kicks off and throws a spinning kick for the nazi's head
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> *grabs the Nazi by the throat* Let's talk.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire pushes himself up; the nazi Chad is fighting is kicked and he spins and lands; he grabs a grenade
<Elayne> * Elayne sticks close to Ire, she peerks out at Chad, she pulls up her gun and fires at the nazi.
<DeathStar> 6* The nazi flails. Iceheart steps forward, jamming her ice dagger near his groin. He goes pale and quiet, nodding in agreement
<Xanatos> <Phirax> Careful!
<DeathStar> 6* The Nazi is killed, but not before pulling the pin. Ire yells at Pope. "Use that vpaorizing gun on it!"
<Kit> <Null> Are you okay, Colephantus?
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *looks down at the weapon and smirks, grabbing it* Yippie kiyiyiya.
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> CHEATING BASTARD! 6He turns to sprint away
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *fires at it*
<DeathStar> 6* It's vaporized. Dominator dusts himself off. "Lets go inside and see if the others are okay."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pulls himself to his feet. 1Yeppers.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> How did you all find me?
<Kit> <Null> I'm glad." 
<Elayne> * Anyata slips up beside them quickly. "Cole's tough as they say it seems."
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> *looks at Ice* Ah, jesus, I was going to interroagate the meatbag!
<Kit> 6Null smiles and shifts to head back upstairs without waiting for more conversation.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad let's out a victory fist pump. 1"You see that Phirax? I owned him.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> You methods, while fun, take too long.
<DeathStar> *your
<Xanatos> <Phirax> I believe that was Pope there.
<Elayne> * Anyata shakes her head like a tired babysitter and heads after Null. "Hey wait up."
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> You never seemed to mind how long it took.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I was trying to get my hands on their weapons. I've never seen anything like it before. They didn't appreciate it and followed me. Know who these fucks are?
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad moves after the others
<DeathStar> 6* The outside group catches up with the others. Dominator looks at wiendigo. "All clear."
<Kit> 6Null tilts her head at the scene with Wiendigo and Iceheart, her sword hand glimmering slightly with a charging effect. 1"No remaining threats?"
<Xanatos> 6* Cole gives a thumbs up once he catches to the others.
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> The 5th Column. Nazi screwheads. We caught a picture of you and used it to track you down. You look good. For a dead woman.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Feel pretty good, too. At least I didn't have to claw my way out of a coffin this time.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad rests his hands behind the back of his neck.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Whoa you had to do that? Creepy.
<DeathStar> 6* Dominator's comm beeps and he clicks on. Wind's voice speaks. "That page about Iceheart being attacked changed from her death to her surviving; but yo uwon't like the new last paragraph."
<Elayne> Anyata> "Very creepy."
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *twirls the gun on his finger* Fun lil' toy.
<Kit> 6Null blinks, then deactivates her blade, the glimmering disappates and she replaces the sword in subspace, then reverts out of armor to civilian form.
<Xanatos> <Cole> I bet it involves us blowing up, right?
<Kit> <Null> This is Iceheart? Hi! I'm Null!
<DeathStar> <Wind> Yes. The building is destroyed by a missile from a missile sight 2 blocks away. You all die.
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> That sounds bad. We should leave then
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> ...what the hell is he talking about?
<Elayne> Anyata> "Sounds like our que to leave fast."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Y'heard him let's get out of here! 6He shifts and dahses towards the exit.
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> *rolls his eyes* ...And we found a magical book that spells out everything that's happened 6 months ago until now. And what will happen soon. Or might. Or whatever, I don't have a fucking clue.
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad hops and moves after Cole
<Xanatos> 6* Phirax frowns and moves for the exit too.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Same ol' same ol'.
<Elayne> * Anyata grabs Null and teleports outside.
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> Right. So, missle. Let's get the fuck out.
<Kit> <Null> You guys are fun! Hee!" 6She shifts, sitting on the staircase railing and slides her way down,-- only to be grabbed again
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Hunter Station
<DeathStar> 6* After escaping the area, and having a Nazi prisoner to interrogate, everyone stands around the book on the station.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No new data about us has come up; it keeps showing pages about this 'other reality'.
<Kit> <Megumi> Displays... either?
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart leans against a wall, arms crossed. She eyes the place. "So you run this place. Never saw that coming."
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> *leans next to Iceheart, rather close* "I keep telling them it's a bad idea. No one listens."
<Elayne> Anyata> "Useful to us, useless to them."
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> What concerns me is how many people are going to die from the first events that were listed there.
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher glances over at Wind.
<DeathStar> <Ire> Who cares about them. Where's Seinreich and Ghoul?
<Gravedigger> *WE* should care. It's our friggin' job!
<Kit> <Null> If we can prevent something horrible, we should!" 6She makes a face at Ire.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I'm sure in time you'll show them. 6* She says
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> It doesn't say Ire. It's possible that this book focuses on what it deems the most important.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> So in theory, the current events being described trump our realitys.
<Elayne> Elayne> "Yeah... I think I met those people before."
<DeathStar> <Wind> I can try to travel over there, but first we should use the book to figure out how this ties to those two.
<DeathStar> <Wind> I want to know how it was made.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Maybe it was another loophole thingy?
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> Any ideas on how to find that out?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers up from her scanner. "It seems to have a reality signature like Centerpoint."
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad bounces about to peer at the book.
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> ...A possibly fragment of it then?
<DeathStar> <Wind> None. I just have to hope you smart people can figure it out. We should probably also get everyone we can on alert, just in case; like John.
<Elayne> "Hope we didn't forget to recite some words or something before picking that thing up."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Now I know you didn't call me smart.
<Chad`Winters> <Chad> I'll let my parents know!
<Kit> <Null> What, like magic? You're silly, that doesn't exist!
<DeathStar> <Wind> For now, Ire, I'd like you to take command of the Special Unit, and try to track down leads on Ghoul; we'll cover the book and look for Seinreich. We have better scanners and can cover more ground.
<DeathStar> <Ire> ... Fine.
<Elayne> "Mmm... I've seen things that make me think otherwise."
<Kit> <Null> Really?" 6She looks shocked. 1"I want to see!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher crosses his arms as he eyes the book now. 1"And most importantly, don't mention the book unless you know your in a secure area
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I can lead Wiendigo and his 'Hunters' to where I tried to steal the weapons.
<Elayne> "When I figure out how to use my powers again, sure."
<Gravedigger> <Pope> *slaps Ire on the back* "Great, so now we're all dead again anyway."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Wait, why?
<DeathStar> 6* Ire sighs, popping an asprin.
<Xanatos> <Phirax> Maybe I won't fuck up and lose half of London again like last time, eh?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This is so fascinating. 6* She murmurs excitedly like a kid
<Kit> <Null> Yeah!
<Elayne> Anyata> "We can always be optimistic."
<Kit> 6Megumi makes a face at Katrina. 1"Troublesome. President's schedule... already full."
<Kit> <Megumi> Wind. Tea time.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart slaps Wiendigo's ass. "Just like old times, eh?"
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> I'm not suprised you wouldn't figure that out Cole. 6He sighs. 1"Because if the naughty people know, then they might try to get it for evil purposes. 6He says with a tone like someone talking to a child
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> Sure. Maybe we can track back where they're shipping them in from.
<Gravedigger> <Wiendigo> *has a small hint of a blush*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and slowly leans forward to peer at Wien's face.
<Chad`Winters> 6Slasher jerks to point at Wiendigo. 1"Did you fucking blush?!"
<Elayne> * Anyata stares. "Didn't think him the type."
<DeathStar> <Wind> You realize he'll kill you all
<Xanatos> <Cole> I'm just trying to figure out how the hell he even makes blushing look creepy.
* Elayne looks at Grave. "You ever seen him do that before? I don't remember it ever happening."
<Kit> <Megumi> Wind." 6She frowns at being brushed off. 1"...Tea. Time."
<Chad`Winters> <Slasher> I'm floored that his face can even turn a shade of red without blood on it
<DeathStar> <Wind> Yes, yes. Tea. 6* He nods to appease her
<Gravedigger> You kidding, you should hear him when we talks in his sle-*Wien smacks the back of Grave's head*
<Gravedigger> Ow!
<Xanatos> <Phirax> Well then. T'work yeah?
<Kit> 6Megumi nods, holding up her bear, then goes off to acquire some.
<DeathStar> <Ire> *grunts*
<Chad`Winters> 6Chad peers at the two.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/BRIEF PAUSE-
* Gravedigger is now known as X1
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-591.5.10 - A bit over 3 weeks later -
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* It's been three weeks since Dias' death. The PAX is currently aiding a planet needing people to be rescued from a global incident that's changed their northern hemisphere into something unliveable; they're on the edge of Tsivrixsh Space
<DeathStar> 6* Shuttles have been making trips around the clock to bring people from the planet to PAX; Erevis sits on the bridge, eyeing information, while Ao monitors things in the hanger
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sits at her station, having had little sleep the last few days, needed to handle bridge comm and computers. And Isis works in engineering to get power kicked up from the influx of people.
* Chad`Winters sits in engineering with Isis, having worked late to cover for lost time and to make up for the rest of his crew workign to cover him. He eyes his terminal
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus points at a patient turning blue from damaged lungs
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Your patient is dying. 6* He tells Carter and Jen; the medical bay is flooded with similiar cases
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC stands in the hanger, directing the people to designated spots
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina eyes the crowded bar; Athena's ears are drooped and she looks miserible, but keeps trying to cheer people up with smiles adn singing. It isn't working
<Xanatos> 6* Carter moves over and put them on a respirator. 6He has the scaner checking for causes.
<Chad`Winters> So far the core's been holding up. 6He shifts over to a different terminal, eyeing it
<DeathStar> 6* Isis nods, checking data.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus brings otu some food, setting it down, quickly going back into the back, while Moa jerks and runs from person to person, taking orders and making drinks, she looks like she's goign to have a heart attack.
* Elayne assists him, looking over the scanner, despite the workload she seems in high spirits, she quickly checks for a solution.
<Elayne> * Jennifer
* Elayne is now known as Jennifer
<DeathStar> <Ao> This way; quit shoving. 6* She eyes some Tsivrixsh who were living there
<Chad`Winters> How're the minor systems holding up? 6He rubs his face as he stands up to more to the main core terminal
<DeathStar> <Isis> Not well
* Chad`Winters crowns as he moves over to Isis terminal to take look
<DeathStar> 6* Athena gets shoved by a half-alien, half-Tsivrixsh colonist and she slams into a table. he yells at her for being clumsy.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: frowns
<DeathStar> 6* Near SPoC, a group of colonists break out into a fight as one claims the other cut in line
<Kit> <Elwyn> Hey buddy. Back off.
<Kit> 6Elwyn narrows her eyes at the half-alien.
<DeathStar> 6* The hybrid points at Elwyn. "Stay out of my way."
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC quickly moves over ot the group, waving security. 1"Please stop fighting now."
<DeathStar> 6* Carter's scans indicate he has burns in his lungs from toxic gases
<Kit> <Elwyn> While you're here, you get along with everyone-- or you leave.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina narrows her eyes; other bar people are getitng restless. Athena picks herself up, hiding her face behind her white hair
* Jennifer double checks the info and starts to look for ways to fix it. "Well we need to detox him, but it's the burn damage that's the real problem."
<DeathStar> 6* They ignore SPoC, until a shot goes off and they peer over; Zephyr stands there, overly protective these days.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter hmms. 1There's damage from the gases, but I have no idea how to cure it.
<Kit> 6Elwyn Peers up at him. He's part tsivrixsh, so likely taller than her and bigger, but she doesn't look intimidated. 1"Understood?"
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus works on a patient that's heart stops.
<DeathStar> <Alien> ... 6* He goes to shove her
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Now that we have your attention. Please remain calm so that nobody is hurt. We are doing the best we can and to make this go smoother, we need you to work with us
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is chaos. 6* She states to those on the bridge.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps out of the bar and points. 1You keep it calm in here or you don't get food.
<Kit> 6Elwyn seethes slightly, but smiles, hiding it as she stumbles. 1"Look, I'll buy you a drink if you just cool it."
<Kit> <Elwyn> Times are rough enough right now, we don't need to make things worse.
* Jennifer sighs and checks the console for the proper treatment, using what she knows about the lungs and the type of damage. "When in doubt look it up."
<DeathStar> <Alien> Your drinks take like gulak piss.
<DeathStar> *taste
* Chad`Winters rubs his face at the information. 1"All this is starting to tax the minor systems. 6He taps his comm. 1"Erevis."
<Xanatos> <Carter> Yeah, give me a second. 6he moves to the scanners to look up possible treatment for lung damages from toxic gas burn.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Then surely you don't need to drink here. All we're asking for is peace." 6She gestures, but the gesture also instates her use of foxfire on the guy, quickly trying to burn his spirit down so he'll pass out. She's not worried since most can't see it.
<DeathStar> <Isis> Perhaps I should try to go into the vents and manually adjust things. 6* She eyes the overheated vents
<Kit> <Elwyn> We want you to have a good time-- so please. Let's try to have one, eh?
<DeathStar> 6* The alien topples over
<Kit> <Elwyn> Oh dear, looks like he had one too many.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin rises and peers at Athena, checking her over.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems the guy will need new lung tissue grown
<DeathStar> 6* Athena keeps her face hidden with her long hair, moving to the back to get some more orders out
<Jennifer> "Alright, he needs new tissue and a graft."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis taps the button. "Yes, Chad Winters?"
<DeathStar> 6* Chad's datapad beeps.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter hmms and moves over to make sure he's stable. 1That's going to take time. So let's get them stable.
* Chad`Winters glances at the vents then her. 1"No. We'll reroute subroutines to try and cool the vents before you go in. If they're overheating it means they could give out." 6He eyes his datapad, checking it as he taps his comm and explains to Erevis the situation on the minor systems.
<Jennifer> "Agreed." *she checks his vitals and the respirator*
<Kit> 6Elwyn brings out her comm and calls security, stating at 'their convenience' someone will need to be escorted to refugee or quarters. No hurry. She tries to entice a couple of bigger patrons to drag him to a side booth in the meantime by flirting.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter moves onto another, checking their symptoms.
<DeathStar> 6* Those in the hanger calm down. Zephyr shakes her head
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sheesh
<Xanatos> 6* Moa slumps against the counter and grabs her chest, huffing.
<DeathStar> 6* They do so for Elwyn after getting boobies
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Thank you. 6She bows her head slightly and begins to redirect them.
<Kit> 6Elwyn nods approvingly and heads back to sit at the barstools, leaning on her elbow. 1"There you go. Told you I could do it without causing a problem."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve's face appears on the datapad. "Chad, I need you here now, something's come up. You need to get here now, I don't know who I can trust. Please---" 6* The transmission cuts off
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek appears on the teleporter, peering around. 1Crazy evenin, Revi. Where'd you need me?
<DeathStar> 6* Athena enters the back, quietly making a burger
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How long can we continue to run systems, Chad Winters?
* Chad`Winters pauses as he eyes his datapad, stopping hid speech to Erevis
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Good Job Elwyn, really. 6he says wiht a sincere nod.
* Jennifer works on making sure he's stable before ordering the tissue replication.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> I...6He shakes his head to refocus then looks at hte systems
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin slips into the back and reaches out to wrap his arms around Athena.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena peers at Kellin; she has a red mark on her face from hitting, and her eyes are watery. Apparantly the emotions outside are getting to her
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis indicates to Drasek to give her a moment
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin lays his head against her shoulder and closes his eyes, thinking happy, loving thoughts. 1It's okay, just tough time.
<Kit> <Elwyn> I-- ... Th-Thanks.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek gives a short nod, hands going into his pockets.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena smiles, nuzzling him.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> A few hours at the most. Unless we can find a way to cool these things down alternatively. If we can get them on seperate ships for a hour at the most, we should be able to cool things back down that or one of us has to go inside and do it manually...Look. Somethings going on on Earth. I just got a message from Eve.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya talks to scaredp eople, trying t oreassure them
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles at SPoC, then moves to check on things.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A message?
<Kit> 6Dawn heads out to meet up with Aya after getting word that the refugees are getting out of hand.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Yeah. She's worried, scared. Look, the fastest way is if somebody goes in to the vents to manually adjust the controls.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. That is of concern, but there will be no other ships in the area for a day; we are all there is
* Jennifer notes everything on the guy's chart as she looks him over for any other issues. Extra careful of late.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya keeps having to switch channels, being flooded by calls
<DeathStar> 6* A patient grabs Jennifer. "I need to see a doctor, my head is hurting! How long do I have to keep waiting?!"
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> I know. 6He rubs his face. 1"And we don't have the resources to make a spare ship either.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am sorry. I will send Drasek down to aid you in the vents; he should be able to handle it
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Thank you.
* Jennifer blinks a bit, frowning at the patient a little, she attempts to get free. "Calm down, I can take a look at you."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek gives a thumbs up. 1Engineering, eh?
* Chad`Winters looks at Isis, his right hand shaking a bit. 1"Draseks on his way down, we'll use him in the vents incase something goes wrong.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods to Drasek; she looks pale and stressed - ever since the glass incident, stress seems to drain her energy
<DeathStar> <Isis> Very well; one of us will need to guide him, though, on what to do.
<DeathStar> <Patient> About time! 6* He sits down on an occupied bed, since there is no others
<Chad`Winters> Do you feel confident enough or should I do it?
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek steps on the teleporter and teleports to engineering, moving to find Chad and Isis.
<DeathStar> <Isis> If you want, I can try.
<Kit> 6Dawn sighs, eventually ending using his comm and just trying to find Aya in his own way to help.
* Jennifer finishes the check on her current patient and puts away his chart, then turns to him. She looks him over, "So how bad is the pain and when did it start?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya frowns as comms go out, and she peers at Erevis. "We need more power to communication."
<Chad`Winters> Alright. I gotta...6He rubs sweat from his face. 1"I gotta see what I can do with Eve then I'll be right there.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis contacts Chad. "We lost our communication system."
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue in anger, then taps his ear. 1"Alright. I'll get it back up." He moves to his terminal to try and bring it back online
<DeathStar> <Patient> It feels like I'm dying and it's been like this for hours.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek peers at them as he steps up. 1What the bloody hell am I doing again?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Um, follow me, Uncle Drasek
<Jennifer> "Did anything bring it on? Hit to the head, loud noise?" *she shines a light in his eyes like she's looking for something*
<DeathStar> 6* It seems he'll need to take power from another system
<DeathStar> 6* Te patient howls at the light, and strikes Jen in the face to knock her away
<Kit> <Megumi> <What is going on? At first I could not get through to beloved, now it seems like comms are not even working.>
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <I don't know. My comm ... is down, too, it seems>
* Chad`Winters glances at the other systems, looking for something to take power from
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek moves after Isis, peering around.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya leads him to a vent cover, then holds out an ear comm. "I will guide you verbally."
* Jennifer cries out and holds her face, dropping the light, she grumbles a bit. Eyeing him.
<DeathStar> 6* The paitent keeps yelling, thrashing, and injures the patient in the bed by knocking her off
<Xanatos> 6* Carter moves over and holds the man down, givng him a sedative.
* Jennifer grabs a sedative and stops as she sees Carter, she moves around to help the lady who fell.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> I'm going to have to take some power from other systems, Erevis.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter frowns and helps the other patient up, getting them situated and secure before running a scan over the man's head.
<Kit> 6Megumi sighs, getting up. <I guess I will go in person. Are you okay?>
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Understood.
<DeathStar> 6* The man keeps thrashing even with the sedative, yelling in rage and anger; he punches Carter in the nose
* Chad`Winters begins to reroute power from Weapons Systems to communication
<Xanatos> 6* Carter stumbles back, holding his nose, frowning. 1What the hell?!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Yeah, I'm handling the han---> 6* She stares as a shuttle comes in at the wrong angle, smashing into another shuttle, causing them both to slide along out of cntrol toward people
<DeathStar> 6* The comms come back online.
<Kit> <Megumi> <Zephyr! Are you okay!?>
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> How's that?
<DeathStar> 6* Isis tries to open the vent
* Jennifer looks at Carter as she gets the other patient up, then takes a step back, rubbing her cheek. She grumbles and moves to restrain the man from behind. "It has to be bad with that reaction. Keep trying to scan him."
<DeathStar> <ERevis on comm> Aya Winters says it is good.
<Kit> 6Megumi rushes now, changing her destination to the hangar.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC taps her comm, relaying what just happened to Erevis
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek peers at Isis and moves forward to do that for her.
<DeathStar> 6* The man howls, having the strength of a bull it seems. He shakes Jennifer about, then rams her in the wall; she'd feel nauseous and lightheaded
<Xanatos> 6* Carter makes an annoyed look, trying to get the scan.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis quickly contacts Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grabs people as the shuttle explodes; the force sends her flying out of sight, and several people scream
* Jennifer groans, letting go and falling to the floor, shaking her head a little. "C-Call security or something..."
* Chad`Winters quickly types on his datapad and sends a message off to Cheryl to find out what's going on, on Earth. He quickly focuses back up on the energy readings on his terminal
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC covers his face as she grabs a couple people and pulls them down
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos answers his comm. 1Yeah?
<Kit> 6Megumi moves into the hangar, using the bond to try and find Zephyr. 1"Zephyr!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tells him what happened.
<DeathStar> 6* People can be seen burning from the fire; one child is pinned under a wing, the fire closing in on her
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC quickly gets up and moves for the wing and child.
<Kit> 6Megumi makes a face and quickly moves for the child as well, pausing as SPoC gets there first and shifts to help her.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis thanks Drasek as he opens it; she moves back to her terminal to instruct him
<DeathStar> 6* The wing is rather heavy.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC grabs the wing and struggles to try and lift it up so the kid can get out
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gives a curse and reponds. 1I'm going there now. 6He clicks off.
<DeathStar> 6* The patient screams in pain, knocking machines over and ripping an IV out of one guy
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC turns to look at the crowd of people. 1"Please help us."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek nods. 1Just tell me what to do, luv.
<DeathStar> <Isis on Comm> Head forward 10 meters, then go right another 20
<Jennifer> "S-Someone restrain him!" *she pulls herself up, holding her head*
<DeathStar> 6* Teh crowd is running away as the fire grows.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter jerks to his feet and pages security, reaching out for a pistol, trying to fire a stun shot into him.
<DeathStar> 6* The man falls over finally
<Xanatos> 6* Carter throws the gun aside, looking disgusted and wipes blood from his nose, running the scan.
<DeathStar> 6* People begin to trample each other to escape
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC frowns as he struggles to lift the wing, she taps her comm quickly. 1"Erevis, please activate the fire safety protocols around my position
* Jennifer limps over to the man with an IV and tries to get it in place, holding her head a little afterwards.
<DeathStar> 6* The man seems to have brain damage from toxic gas
<Kit> 6Megumi shakes her head, then backs up slightly, her hands forming the energy shotgun. 1"Natalie, please take care for a moment." 6She presses it up against the wing slightly to the side from SPoC and the child.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis contacts Chad, telling him the fire systems aren't activating and they need power to do so in the hanger at SPoC's position
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos appears on the teleporter, his eyes widen slightly as the amount and he holds up his gun firing. 1PEOPLE! CALM DOWN!
<DeathStar> 6* People panic more at Xan fire; one person tries to ram him
<Jennifer> * Leyaeh checks the page, currently eyeing all the monitors, she heads to medical since there are already people on the fire.
<DeathStar> 6* MEanwhile, in the bar, more people begin to get rowdy around Athena; one person grabs her ear, asking her to "sing" for them.
* Chad`Winters tenses a bit and he uses what energy he had left from the weapons to bring up the fire protocols
<DeathStar> <Katrina> This is crazy
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face, shifting to let him by, he clicks his tongue.
<Kit> 6Megumi focuses on making it a concentrated shot, and fires to try and break the wing so SPoC can save the kid
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC shifts to protect the kid
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin jerks and points at the man. 1Let go of her!
<DeathStar> 6* The wing breaks off enough SPoC and Megumi can move it; the fire protocols activate finally
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...this is too much.
<DeathStar> 6* The alien eyes Kellin, then goes to shove him away
<Kit> <Elwyn> Wait, Kellin. Athena, you like doing that, don't you?" 6She gestures to the karaoke machine.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin jerks to bite the man.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods, holding her ear
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC carefully lifts the kid up, holding it to Marcus. 1"Please get them to medical
<Kit> <Elwyn> Go ahead, kitten. Won't you indulge them?" 6She moves quickly, snagging Kellin by the collar.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Megumi
* Jennifer looks up from settling another patient as Leyaeh arrives, moving over to the scene of chaos.
<Kit> <Megumi> But-- Zephyr is here somewhere!
<DeathStar> 6* Athena pauses, peering at Marcus to see if she can, considering they need everyone working
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi would feel pain from Zephyr; she's alive nearby
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face at the crowd and urges them to the halls. 1This way, this way to safety. 6he calls out.
<Kit> <Megumi> She is hurt..!
<Jennifer> "Hey Carter... I need you to check me for a concussion... and anything else."
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Very well. 6She nods and quickly moves for the nearest teleporter
<DeathStar> 6* Teh crowd rushes in he direction Xan indicates
<Kit> 6Megumi peers around, trying to use the bond again. 1"Zephyr!!"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Just take it easy, we have it under control. Please remain calm.
<DeathStar> 6* A hand rises up from some debris
<Kit> 6Megumi runs over, clutching it. 1"Zephyr..? Hold on!"
<DeathStar> 6* Another hand pushes a child up toward Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* Athena moves to the karaoke, and hits a song. She brings up the microphone and begins to try to sing; people in the bar turn to stare
<Jennifer> * Leyaeh helps get the berserked but now not concious patient onto a bed and restrains him, then dusts off her hands. She checks for more pages with the job done.
<Chad`Winters> We'd be fine if the Tsiv would've sent help. 6He clicks his tongue again as he shifts over to another terminal to work on something. 1"Isis, hows Drasek doing?
<DeathStar> 6* Isis can be heard telling Drasek what wires to adjust
<Kit> 6Elwyn keeps an eye on Athena.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter checks for possible treatments for the patient.
* Jennifer runs a scanner over herself in the meantime, the nasuea having her concerned.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems the patient will need a surgeon
* Chad`Winters shifts to his datapad, sending a message to Eve, telling her he'll get to Earth as soon as he can.
<Jennifer> "Get Caduceus for that one... I don't think either of us are going to succeed at brain surgery just yet."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus rubs his face slowly and moves ot cook some more food.
<DeathStar> 6* Teh bar seems to calm down as Athena sings
<Xanatos> 6* Carter flags for surgery, while Kellin beams and sways.
<DeathStar> 6* The injured child is held up, the hand getting weaker holding it up
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves into the hanger once the crowd dies down, order Leyaeh to meet up with the crowd to direct them to the proper areas.
<Kit> 6Elwyn takes a breath, then moves to her barstool wearily.
<DeathStar> 6* The scanner seems to indicate she's pregnant
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves forward to take the child.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Th-This is harder than I thought it would be. Kellin. Sit." 6She points to the stool beside her.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC steps on a teleporter as soon as ones open and its Medical Bay
* Jennifer stares at the scanner slowly, losing sense of where she is for a moment. "No shit..."
<Kit> <Megumi> Xanatos-- I--" 6She peers at the kid, then the hand, starting to try and dig it out.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin jerks and points. 1I have an Idea! 6He whispers to Karina his idea of having Athena sing out across the ship over the comms.
<DeathStar> 6* Teh kid clings to Xanatos; she has some bruises, but seems okay. Megumi manages to dig out Zephyr, who looks a bit burnt
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods once. 
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Let's get her to medical.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I... well... We could ask Erevis, I suppose.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ow...
<Kit> <Elwyn> --Don't do it in the hangars. Do it everywhere except.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC steps off and quickly moves into medical. 1"This child was trapped under a shuttle wing.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin nods twice and grabs Kat's comm to call Erevis.
* Jennifer scans over herself again in that area, then takes the data as she moves over to the next patient.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis answers. "....yes?"
<Kit> <Elwyn> If people come off a ship all rattled and just instantly get barraged by an idol singer-- it may make them panic and lose faith on our credibility. But in the halls and elsewhere is fine.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's leg seems to be pinned
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Should have Athena's song play on the comms, maybe calm people down, yeah yeah!? 6He says intot he comm.
<Kit> 6Megumi works to try and get her leg free.
<DeathStar> <Erevis on comm> Play...on the comms?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think...I'm bleeding internally...
<Xanatos> <Kellin> OVer the ships communications dug!
<Xanatos> NRP: duh
<DeathStar> 6* She pauses, then directs Aya to do so
* Jennifer looks up at SPoC and hurries over, she leads SPoC over to a bed with the child. "Over here..." *she starts scanning over the kid right away*
<DeathStar> 6* Isis looks up as Athena's voice comes over ,startling her; she forgets to tell Drasek what to do
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi manages to do so after a few attempts.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks and curses, getting shocked.
* Chad`Winters peers up then over at Isis. 1"Isis focus.
<DeathStar> <Isis> I-I am sorry. F-Forgive me... Now...
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts the kid to his hip and reaches down to help Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's side is red where some metal entered
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus and Moa continue to feed the crowd while Athena keeps the calm.
<Jennifer> * Leyaeh peers in concern, but moves over to help with someone else, trying to keep those waiting for help calm.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus moves over finally to the brain damaged one. "Update me, Carter."
<Kit> <Megumi> D-Damn it...
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC sets the kid down, bowing her head slightly then turns to move back to the teleporter, hitting the hanger and moves over to the others
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> How is Zephyr?
<Xanatos> <Carter> Brain damage due to the toxin. It's above my level of expertise. 6he shows Cad the scans.
<Kit> <Megumi> Xanatos, I can't lift her, give me the child. Pick up her. We'll go to the medbay immediately..!
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos frowns slightly and does so, lifting Zephyr up to move for Medical.
<Kit> 6Megumi chases him with the child.
<Chad`Winters> It's alright, Isis. You've been working yourself tired. 6He offers her a smile and moves back to his terminals
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus studies it. "Alright, who wants to watch me perform surgery?"
* Jennifer starts to work on the kid's injuries as she sees them, looking oddly maternal now.
<Xanatos> <Carter> Can we spare the time to watch? 6he peers around slightly.
<Jennifer> "Busy with a kid over here."
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> You'll never learn otherwise. Come on, Carter.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter nods once. 1Alright.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus moves to get the guy into surgery.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter moves after him. 1Hold down the fort, Jen.
<Jennifer> "Do what I can."
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos appears in medical and brings Zephyr over. 1She's hurt, we need her treated.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr winces in pain as she's moved
<Kit> <Megumi> And this child..!
<DeathStar> <CHIP on Comm> Erevis has just passed out.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin beams at his idea, posing on the counter.
* Jennifer tries to make sure the kid is at least stable.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos frowns and puts Zephyr onto a bed. 1I'll go get her. 6He pats Megumi and moves for the teleporter.
<Kit> 6Elwyn sighs at Kellin, since it was basically her idea-- expanded.
* Jennifer looks up at Xan. "I..."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena relaxes as she sings, bouncing to the tune; some of the aliens bounce, too
<Kit> 6Megumi nods to Xanatos, looking ready to freak out, eyeing the kid she's holding.
<DeathStar> 6* The kid eyes Megumi back
<DeathStar> <CHIP on COmm> Noname also informs you that Ako and Iko poopied in their diapers.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos teleports to the bridge and peers around slightly. 1Where is she? 6He moves ofrward.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC goes back to directing people
<Kit> <Megumi> Tell him to deal with it! WE ARE BUSY!
<DeathStar> 6* Aya points at the chair where Erevis is passed out; on the comm, he'd hear Iceheart's voice . <Iceheart on Comm> Can we help your workload any, PAX?
<Jennifer> "Bring the child over here Mrs. Zhenmei." *she looks over*
<Kit> 6Megumi pauses, then moves quickly to Jennifer.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr closes her eyes, going quiet.,
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos glances up slightly. 1They really can. 6He motios for Aya to let them on, moving to lift up Erevis, moving to take her for the teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, directing Iceheart what to do.
<Jennifer> "How's Zephyr?" *she sets the kid down, checking him over* "We're really understaffed so if she's critical I need to know."
<Kit> 6Megumi jerks, handing the kid quickly to Jennifer and moves back to Zephyr. 1"Zephyr! Zephyr!!"
<DeathStar> 6* Isis finishes with Drasek and power fluxations come down
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr seems to have passed out
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek lets out a whew and moves to get otu of those vents.
<Kit> <Freyja on Comm> Is that... singing i hear?
* Chad`Winters moves over to Isis and her terminal and peers at the output. He pats her on the shoulder. 1"Good job, Isis."
<DeathStar> 6* Her side is dripping blood.
<Jennifer> "Answers my question..." *she scans over the kid*
<DeathStar> <Aya on Comm> Yes, Miss. FReyja
<DeathStar> 6* Isis nods, relaxing
<Kit> <Megumi> She is unconscious and bleeding out. Can you not SEE that!?
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> They might could use you in medical, Freyja. 6* She notes, landing the ship in the hanger for Freyja
<Kit> <Freyja on Comm> That's a wonderful idea-- do you think you could patch me through as well? At least to the medical bay?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos appears in the hanger and moves for his shuttle, getting into it.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, doing so for Freyja. Iceheart shifts out to meet up with ship captains quickly to find out who needs to be moved where
* Jennifer looks over at her from two children she's treating. "I haven't looked." *she moves over, working on the bleeding right away while running a full scan on Zephyr, she puts down a page for more help, if it's available*
<DeathStar> 6* Teh children seem okay outside some bruises
<DeathStar> 6* As Jennifer arrives, Zephyr seems to flatline from internal bleeding
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos sets Erevis down, and closes the ramp, powering up the shuttle now.
* Chad`Winters moves over to the vent, waiting for Drasek to pop his bald head out
<Kit> <Megumi> No, no, noooo!
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek looks red all over when he slips out. 1Fell like a bloody lobster. 6He says with a wince.
* Jennifer rushes over, working to resussitate her and treat her wounds. Doing her best to keep calm as she does. "Meg, I need you to help in any way you can with the bond."
<Xanatos> NRP: feel
<DeathStar> 6* It seems with Caduceus busy, and Carter and Jen not having the necessary experience, Jennifer is all there is
<Kit> 6Freyja starts to sing over Iceheart's broadcast through Aya, her song that of Nephilim, the healing one. Nowhere near as effective as it might have been, but still the gradual healing through song.
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer, prepare yourself to see if you are successful in getting her heart going:
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Up, Down, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right Up, Down, Right, Left
<DeathStar> 5

<Kit> ddullrrldulr
<DeathStar> -0-
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos lifts his shuttle up and blasts out of the hanger.
<Chad`Winters> We appreciate it, Drasek.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr's heart starts beating again; meanwhile, the song seems to be helping, but with the metal still lodged in her side, it's hard to say if it'll be effective
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Course mate. Gotta do everything I can.
<Kit> <Megumi> The shrapnel, Jen. The metal!
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos jumps away just as soon as he's free of the hanger.
* Chad`Winters nods and he moves back to his terminal, working again as he eyes the systems. 1"I think that bought us some more time
* Jennifer lets out a sigh of relief and starts treating the wound, shrapnel and internal bleeding, working to get Zephyr stable. "I know, I'm working on it."
<DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes a message from CHIP, then squints out a window in the hanger. "The hell..."
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart returns to the ship to start moving colonists; in the bar, everyone claps as Athena finishes another song, doing a peace sign
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer, prepare yourself to see if you can remove shrapnel without killing Zephyr
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Down, Right, Right, Left, Up, Down, RIght, Left, Left, Up, Down

<Xanatos> 6* Kellin claps as hard as he can, whislting.
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer manages to get the metal out; blood gushes out now from the wound
<Kit> 6Megumi puts her hands over it.
* Jennifer starts to seal the wound and get her patched up. "Meg..."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena pants, tired from working so hard, but when the crowd gets restless, she picks another osng to sing, scared not to
<Kit> 6Freyja leans against Iceheart as she pilots, continuing to sing.
<Kit> <Megumi> What? I am not just going to watch her bleed out again!
<Chad`Winters> How're the sub-systems and minor systems looking?
<DeathStar> <Isis> They seem to be doing well so far.
<Jennifer> "If you keep getting in the way you'll prevent me from treating her properly. Just be glad it's not Carter, he's never treated a Dragoon before."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> You lot give me a call if you need me again. 6He moves for the teleporter.
<Chad`Winters> I've sent two messages off but I'm not getting any response.
<DeathStar> <Isis> I am sorry.
* Chad`Winters ' left fingers fidget a bit as he monitors the terminal
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek appears on the teleporter and peers around. 1Alright Re-Hey where's Revi?
* Jennifer keeps an eye on her scans, trying to get Zephyr stable so Caduceus can save her when he's free. "Believe me, I don't want Zephyr to die either."
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus moves out with Carter. He stops to eye Zephyr, then Jennifer. "Did you perform surgery?"
<Jennifer> "Yeah."
* Jennifer looks over, rubbing her head. "There wasn't time."
<Xanatos> 6* Carter arches his brow. 1And she's alive?
<Jennifer> "Y-Yes, for now."
<Xanatos> 6* Carter seems shocked, glancing from Cad to her.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Hm. Looks like she's pulling ahead of you, Carter.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* 2 hours later. A Tsivrixsh ship has arrived to provide aid, but things remain critical. Chad's only response from Cheryl is that everything on Earth is calm, but she's on a mission and can't talk until later.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens her eyes, recovering slowly. "Ungh..."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena is asleep at the bar, exhausted and pale; the bar seems to be restless again
<DeathStar> 6* Ao stands on the bridge, having made Aya stop her comm work to look into something
<DeathStar> <Ao> ... CHIP, tell Megumi to get up here now.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes the data they found
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek is in Medical, sitting by Zephyr. 1Hello there bit.
<DeathStar> 6* The medical bay is calm again. Caduceus sits with his pills, relaxing
* Chad`Winters steps off the teleporter to the bridge. 1"Ao, I need a shuttle to Earth
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hi---you look...red...
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Like a bloody lobster, eh? You feelin alright?
<DeathStar> <Ao> You can't have a shuttle right now. We need yo uhere. We still got another 10 hours.
<Chad`Winters> Somethings going on there with Eve. She needs me.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin frowns and points to Elwyn. 1Sing!
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Megumi, Ao requsts you on the bridge.
* Jennifer sits back, she sighs a bit and looks over at the patients like she wants to go back into the fray. SHe looks down at a datapad with the full scan on her pregnancy.
<Kit> <Megumi> Alright.
<Kit> <Elwyn> M-Me?
<DeathStar> <Ao> And we need you here. 6* She turns to face Chad. "You have a job here and thousands of lives are at stake. Your temporary patch earlier is that - tempory. We need you here working."
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Why do you keep eyeing that thing?
<Xanatos> 6* Carter checks over patients. 1I bet it has something important on it.
* Jennifer looks up, tucking it away. "It's personal."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Someone has too and I suck at that singing crap!
* Chad`Winters right hand clenches tightly as he eyes her, his anger not hiding at all. 1"...Fine."
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> If it has to do with your health, I need to know. What is it?
<Kit> <Elwyn> ...I can sing well, but I don't think it'll have the same effect. I'm not like mama who can sing the song of healing.
* Jennifer sighs a little and looks down. "I'm pregnant."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> J-Just try.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter pauses and peers to Jennifer. 1Who the hell would have sex with you?
* Jennifer frowns at him and doesn't answer.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Don't give me that look, Chad. I'm not Erevis; I'm not going let you act out and do whatever you want as you please. Everytime someone personal to you gets hurt, you run off. We have work to do today. Either do your job, or quit.
<DeathStar> <Ao> And if you're doing your job, don't throw your attitude my way.
<Xanatos> <Carter> Was it one of those Cartel boys?
<Kit> 6Elwyn blinks, then nods resignedly, moving over to the microphone, taking a moment before reciting a song that sounds more like a hymn than anything, the words even in a different language.
<Jennifer> "No, human, and you don't know him."
<Xanatos> <Carter> ...are you making this up to get attention?
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus eyes her. "Are you keeping the child?"
* Jennifer frowns and pulls out the datapad and shows him.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nudges Marcus, leaning forward to listen
* Jennifer looks at Cad slowly, "I don't know yet... I need to discuss it with the father."
<Xanatos> <Carter> Of course she's not, she's too young.
<Xanatos> 6Marcus sets down a plate and glances to Kat slightly, before looking up towards Elwyn. 1Huh.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> You can't work here if you're pregnant.
<Chad`Winters> Sorry for actually caring about someone. I'll be in engineering making sure this damn ship doesn't have a melt down. 6He turns, moving for the telepad
<Jennifer> "I... I figured as much. Give me time to talk to him?"
<DeathStar> <Ao> Oh, don't fucking give me that; Erevis has been kidnapped, but I'm doing what's best for this entire ship adn those people down there. Quit acting like you're the only person who's suffering
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> I can't afford to fire you today, so go ahead.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter lets out a whislte, moving back to what he's doing.
<Xanatos> NRP: whistle*
<DeathStar> <Ao> Oh, and my family almost died today saving people, but here I am, working my damnest. Not that you care Zephyr's heart stopped.
<Kit> 6Megumi finally gets to the bridge, holding Ako in one hand and Iko in the other. 1"Aonee, where is beloved?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin perches up on a stool to watch Elwyn.
* Chad`Winters stops, looking back at Ao. 1"Her heart stopped?"
<Kit> <Megumi> She was nearly killed saving a child from the shuttle collisions in the hangar.
* Jennifer sighs and looks at the datapad again.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao turns back to eye the systems. "She's been kidnapped. 2 hours ago, Xanatos took her in a shuttle, and he's destroyed all the tracking systems on it, and won't respnd to comm hails; we have no idea where she's at."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, having passed out a moment. "I---did I fall asleep?"
<Kit> <Megumi> .. Wh-WHAT?!"
* Chad`Winters rubs his face as he puts his hand against a wall.
<DeathStar> <Ao> CHIP says he's been acting odd since he came back from a trip two days ago on Earth
<Kit> 6Megumi stares in shock, looking apalled, then quickly starts looking furious-- if it's true she's been betrayed after all.
<Chad`Winters> It seems Earths' the center of a lot of these things.
<Kit> <Megumi> I was not even aware he took a trip... What the HELL!?
<DeathStar> <Ao> Erevis would want us to save these people, and as third in command, I'm honoring her wishes. We got ten more hours before more help comes
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Seems like it luv. You okay? 6He looks concerned.
<Chad`Winters> And then what?
<DeathStar> <Ao> Then we can all do whatever we want.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. I got hurt in the hanger. Wasn't careful. Sorry.
<Chad`Winters> Fair enough. 6He steps on the telepad, his face stoic.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart ships lands with her six load of people from the planet.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Cooked myself like a lobster, fact is we're both alive now, yeah? Just don't scare me like that, 'lright?
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC moves to Icehearts ship as it lands, directing people as they come off
* Jennifer looks over at Cad.
<Kit> <Megumi> The research department is not necessary at this point in time I will go and--"
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus eyes a beep indicating more wounded coming.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter peers up slightly. 1Well. Here we go again.
* Jennifer gets and and starts to get things ready.
<DeathStar> <Ao> You're not going alone. Do you think she'd want that? 6* She whirls around. "Zephyr's hurt. She needs you here; you riun off, she'll follow, and maybe she dies trying."
<DeathStar> 6* Ao's fists grip. It's clear she's strugglnig not to freak. Aya peers over from her communication station
* Chad`Winters glances over at Megumi. 1"Ao's right. You should be with Zephyr right now."
<Kit> <Megumi> You are not one to talk!!
<DeathStar> <Ao> Both of you! Stop it! 6* She shouts. "We all got jobs to do and people we care about in th ebalance. Lets do it so we can go help them ASAP."
<Kit> 6Megumi pauses, eyeing Iko and Ako, both empathic to a degree and tries to calm, closing her eyes, breathing.
<DeathStar> 6* Ako begins to bawl
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina whistles for Elwyn
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sorry. I couldn't help it; I saw kids in trouble and jumped in, thinking I was like the old me.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin claps furiously, while Marcus nods once with a clap.
<Chad`Winters> Unlike you, Meg. You can actually be there for Zephyr, I have to wait to be there for Eve. Go. 6He says, a calm tone to his voice
<Kit> 6Elwyn blinks, looking embarassed.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Who operated on me?
<Kit> <Megumi> My wife has been spirited away by someone I thought I could trust, Winters. It is not my fault you have only two cares in the world and one of them is not even near you.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Sounds like it was Jennifer. I think Caduceus mights checked over her work though, t'make sure she didn't leave a watch in ya or any of that.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ enters the bar, looking unsure what to do.
<Kit> 6Megumi scowls, turning to leave with the kids.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, wide eyed.
<Kit> 6Dawn rubs his face.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Mansion Base
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in her office, wearing a ribbon in her hair to keep it in a ponytail. Lemon's informed Chii that tonight there's a Japanese festival taking place in the Asian quarter of Mega City, indicating they should go there for fun.
<DeathStar> 6* John runs along holding Key up so she can dust the ceilings
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands by Kane in the President's Office. He peers out. "I decided to accept."
<Kit> <Chii> Sounds like fun, Lem. We can get Cherry to dress up like last time. You weren't around to see it. She's a total babe in a kimono. I just look cute." 6She makes a face.
<Jennifer> * Peter eyes the pair with his arms crossed, staring a little. "Well that's a new one to me."
<Xanatos> 6* Kane arches a brow and peers up slightly, he nods. 1I'm glad.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> You're a total babe to me. 6* She notes.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole eats a meal in the mess hall.
<Kit> <Chii> That means a lot, Lem! But I know the truth." 6She smiles, not looking like she'd be insulted to just be 'cute' in a kimono.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I haven't run it by Ariel yet, though. Should I stay in the Cran Manor to be near you so our guard detail can be together?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Or have you decided if it's appropriate to stay there still being President now?
<Kit> <Key> Getting better, John! Wheeeee!
<DeathStar> <LEmon> I find your-- 6* She begins to list parts of Chii and how sexy they are to her.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I believe I will. With my current workload I rarely get to see Lemon. 6he gets to his feet and holds out his hand. 1Thank you.
<DeathStar> 6* John smirks, running into the mess hall with her
<Jennifer> Peter> *rubs his temple a bit, he shakes his head and moves down the hall, he slips into the mess hall after them*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his hand. "I'd just wor kto make sure the public doesn't find out about Lemon."
<DeathStar> 6* John circles Peter when he enters, holding Key out to dust his face
<Ariel> 6* Raquel eyes John and Key, "...there's a better way to deal with that, isn't there?"
<Xanatos> <Kane> Yes, I imagine it won't be accepted. If you would like to move into the mansion, it would make things easier for us, but it also makes us a single target, so I will leave that up to you.
<Kit> <Key> Not as fun!
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pouts a little.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I've been there for a while now working with the unit; for now, I might as well stay.
<DeathStar> 6* John holds out Key to dust Raquel's cleaveage.
<Jennifer> Peter> "Aye, you missed a spot." *points to his hair*
<Kit> 6Key does it delicately.
<DeathStar> <John> So, I heard about a festival. Would you two lovely ladies like to join me on a date there?
<Xanatos> 6* Cole looks up to the people entering and finishes his plate, standing up to dispose of his trash.
<Kit> <Key> Not miss-- need shampoo not dusting!
<Jennifer> * Peter looks hurt, "No fair, I wash it."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, eyeing her datapad, then taps her comm to alert the team to join her at the vehicles.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Very well. 6He bows his head slightly. 1Well then, we have work to do, Mr. Vice President.
<Ariel> Raquel> *pouts some more at the dusting* "Well... I'll consider it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes we do
<Jennifer> Peter> "An there goes our song on the radio."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole peers up slightly and moves for the vehicles.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon stops as she reaches Chii's thighs, peering at her datapad, having had Kane help her hack in to see what Cheryl sends out
<Xanatos> 6* Kane takes a seat and begins to catch Darien up to speed.
<Jennifer> * Peter moves for the vehicles. Moving out of the mess hall.
<DeathStar> 6* John sets Key down. "Good thing I joine the unit." 6* He winks. "I expect a yes from you Key when I get back."
<DeathStar> 6* John moves to hurry out
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Mistress is heading out. 6* She tells Chii all secretatively
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves to a shuttle they've recently added, getting in and nodding to the pilot
<Jennifer> * Peter gets aboard when he gets there, taking a seat.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole moves up the ramp. 1Boss. 6He says shortly, taking a seat.
<Kit> <Chii> Aw man... again?" 6She pouts.
<DeathStar> 6 *Cheryl nods once, removing the ribbon and letting her hair fall down
<Kit> <Key> Key want come." 6She scowls.
<DeathStar> 6* John pats Cole's shoulder as he sits; he leans forward. "I'd like you to join us otnight, COle. RAquel and Key both would love it to have you there. Just two hours. Please? For them."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes. You could sneak onto the shuttle!
<DeathStar> 6* The fox yips at Key, then steals her duster, running off with it
<Kit> 6Key jerks, then chases the fox.
<Kit> <Chii> I can't, Lem. ...Cheryl already had this talk with me.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole eyes John slightly then gives a half shrug. 1I guess.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel shakes her head with amusement, and heads after Key
<Jennifer> * Peter looks over, raising a brow a bit.
<DeathStar> <John> Thanks.
<Kit> 6Chii sulks. 1"As long as its official business, I can't get involved. I'd be a hypocrite to, anyway. Even if the kid's not here yet."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon pouts; she pauses as the fox runs by, then Key chasing it. She grabs Chii and chases with them
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Outside Tokyo
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the scans; below them is a building that exploded a few hours ago. "This isn't on any of the records. I'm having Kane run a search on it; apparantly a nexplosion so bright went off they saw it in Tokyo."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Any idea what would make something that bright? I'd guess nuclear but that kicks up some mean radiation doesn it?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No radiation on scanners. 6* She brings the shuttle down.
<Jennifer> * Peter checks his guns as the shuttle makes it's decent.
<Xanatos> 6* Cheryl comm crackles slightly and Kane's voice sounds out. 1The building belonged to Tucker. It housed some unknown project. I'm trying to discover what it was.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And we're just hearing about it now?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her datapad as a message from Chad comes in; she types in a response.
<Xanatos> <Kane on Comm> It would appear so. We have quite a bit to go through.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Maybe their shit just blew up on them?
<DeathStar> <Darien on Comm> It seems the facility was built shortly before we all came back on CHIP. And quickly.
<DeathStar> <John> Maybe with Tucker did, he wasn't around to supervise and something went wrong?
<Xanatos> <Cole> Sounds logical to me.
<Jennifer> Peter> "Any clue what it might be then? Wild guesses?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's pilot lands them
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets up, heading for the ramp; she hits the open button. "We'll find out."
<Xanatos> <Kane on Comm> Be careful. 6he clicks his comm off.
<DeathStar> 6* John gets up and follows Cheryl out; she approaches the destroyed building - the air is hot from the explosion.
<Jennifer> * Peter gets up and nods, moving after Cheryl.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole frowns slightly as he peers around, approaching.
<Jennifer> Peter> "Oi, a bit warm isn't it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher doots - there's something inside
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses. 1What exactly?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her datapad, then the area. "Definitely a research lab of some sorts." 6* She steps into the crater, stepping over what remains of the building's outer wall, peering into the crater
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher doots and shrugs his legs.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Cypher says there's something in there.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Everyone be on alert.
<Jennifer> Peter> "Black ops project?"
<DeathStar> 6* John squints as he moves forward.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole's arms shifts to a minigun and he begins to advance.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves into the crater, pausing as she eyes a metal bottom with a hole in it.
<Jennifer> * Peter follows after her, gun out and ready.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kneels, peering inside.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Remains of a lab inside.
<Xanatos> <Cole> I'll take point. 6He moves over to the hole and peers in slightly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Can you see in the dark?
<Jennifer> * Peter tries to see inside from his vantage point. "Flashlights?"
<Xanatos> <Cole> Not really. I have my katar though.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel peers cautiously at the crater, "...there's too many of these... unlisted projects..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I can see fine. I'll take point
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slips in, falling ten feet and landing in a kneeling position
<DeathStar> 6* She peers aorund. "Clear."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole peers slightly after her and then shifts to lean in and drop down, rolling slightly to break his fall.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rises, moving forward; a terminal is one corner, damaged, and there appears to be two lab chambers; both are broken open. They have text written on the bottoms in the chamber, though you'd need a light source to tell
<Jennifer> * Peter moves in after Cole, rolling to break his fall as well.
<DeathStar> 6* John hops in next, then offers to catch Raquel
<Xanatos> 6* Cole gets to his feet and activates his katar, holding it up.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel carefully hops down, trusting in John
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher skitters over to the terminal to see if he can get info
<Xanatos> 6* Cole moves over to stand by Cypher.
<DeathStar> 6* John catches her, then sets her on her feet, winking and playfully swatting her rear
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl kneels, eyeing the text. "Angela...Bennet. ... WIlliam Spade."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Are those name familiar?
<Xanatos> NRP: names
<Jennifer> * Peter raises a brow. "Nothing I recall."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... too familiar. They were both traitors on the PAX. They were both supposed to have been killed. Check your datapads for more information.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel jumps, eyeing John coldly.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a clang sound somewhere in the darkness. Cheryl turns to peer into it
<Xanatos> 6* Cole shifts around, holding his katar a little higher, squinting.
<DeathStar> <John> I used my palm. Sorry. Won't happen again. 6* He promises at her look, clearly trying to lighten the moon
<DeathStar> 6* John turns to move and look around for the noise source
<Jennifer> * Peter aims his gun towards the noise.
<DeathStar> 6* A figure can be seen in the katar's light. It's aiming something at Cole.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Look out!
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and widens his eyes, he shifts to dive to the left, expecting an attack.
<Jennifer> Peter> "Whoever you are, lower your weapon."
<DeathStar> 6* The figure fires and misses. Cheryl rushes in and attacks at the figure, but they dodge expertly, and shoot her in the stomach, sending her down. As John comes in, then punch him in the nose without looking
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks to his feet and throw out electricty for the figure.
<Jennifer> * Peter takes a shot at the figure.
<DeathStar> 6* John stumbles, going down. The figure turns to aim at him, but instead dodges both shots in a breeze, grabbing Cheryl and picking her up like a shield.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pulls her gun as she moves after John, trying to get a clear line on the figure
<DeathStar> <Figure> Stay back. You can't win.
<Jennifer> Peter> "How the hell..."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole gets to his feet and advances. 1Put her down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl winces, then tries to elbow, but gets hit by the gun before she can. As Cole advances ,teh ycan see Spade's face; it looks deformed, like a corpse, black Dark One/Legacy veins on it
<DeathStar> 6* John gets to his feet, his nose bleeding. "He's incrediblely strong. Look out."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole tenses and attempts to get a teleport behind him to try and get his back with his katar.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Spade...can see the future---but only up to ... about three actions." 6* Spade hits her again
<DeathStar> 6* Spade twists Cheryl around toward the katar instead
<DeathStar> 6* Near Spade a terminal can be seen sparking
<Jennifer> * Peter keeps his aim on Spade's head. "So four attacks at once should do it."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole deactivates it, having expected it and reaches out to grab her, kicking out to get her free.
<DeathStar> 6* John rushes in to attack Spade, throwing a punch; Spade twists Cheryl enough to get Cole in John's punch path
* Ariel fires a few stunshots at Spade as he moves Cheryl clear of her aim
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks and kneels slightly. 1Springboard. 6he says out to John.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to elbow again, and Spade applies pressure to her; then ducks to dodge the stunshots
<Jennifer> * Peter grumbles waiting for a clear shot. He fires down low a single time as Spade ducks.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade grunts as he's shot. John leaps on Cole, twisting up to try to come down on Spade; Spade throws Cheryl up into him
<DeathStar> 6* John catches her, grunting and falling back away from the terminal
<Xanatos> 6* Cole comes up and throws otu a kick for Spade.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade shifts to grab Cole's leg and throw him
<Jennifer> * Peter takes another shot down low Spade shifts.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade twists to avoid the shots, moving a bit closer to the terminal
<Xanatos> 6* Cole tenses as he goes flying, to teleport ont he opposite end and shift in air to swing his katar out for Spade.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade gets hit by the katar, black fluids gushing out. He roars in anger
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl recovers, activating her whip.
<Jennifer> * Peter attempts a shot from the opposite angle Cole's attack.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole rolls from the dive throw and slides up to his feet, panting slightyl already, he frowns and then lifts up his miniguns firing out for SPade.
* Ariel fires at terminal, through where Spade is standing
* Ariel is now known as Raquel
<DeathStar> 6* Spade twists to avoid both shots; but the terminal explosion catches him, sending him flying
<DeathStar> 6* He lands roughly and Cheryl grabs her whip around his throat, tensing and pulling up, bones cracking and flesh tearing. Spade aims his gun at her head, about to fire
<Xanatos> 6* Cole tense and attempts to get a teleport to him to stop his hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade's hand is caught. He seems unable to avoid a next strike if aimed right
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> TAKE HIS HEAD OFF NOW
<Jennifer> * Peter aims at Spade's head and fires.
<DeathStar> 6* Spade's head is shot and black goo and brain matter goes flying. A moment later, the head begins to reform
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares, then twists the whip, ripping the head off
<Jennifer> Peter> "...Bloody hell."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole arches a brow at that, activates his katar.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Cole, leave nothing left.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl quickly pushes the body itself into the fire to burn
<Raquel> "...I... wish I still had some of those mininukes..."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole nods and moves to grab the head to put it into the fire.
<DeathStar> 6* With the head removed, the body and head burn away.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Just what the hell happened to him?
<Xanatos> <Cole> ...or was that normal?
<Raquel> "W-what the hell WAS that...?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't know. We'll contact Kane adn find out.
<Jennifer> Peter> "There were two names, weren't there?"
<Xanatos> <Cole> Cypher you find anything else?
<Raquel> "So there might be ANOTHER one of those?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Shuttle On Route to Mega City
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes telling them how they encountered a Legacy version of Spade and Angela in the alternate future timeline and they were sent through a time portal
<DeathStar> <Darien> It seems their bodies ended up in the past and were found by Tucker. He was probably researching it. From what yo udescribed, they don't sound like Legacy anymore, something else.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is on the comm.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Removing the head and burning it seemed to work
<Jennifer> Peter> "This is right out of a horror flick."
<DeathStar> <Darien> It could be the Legacy's ability to revive corpses is still working. The data Cypher got indicated they were both dead when found.
<DeathStar> <John> So we're fighting zombies.
<Xanatos> <Cole> That's...well that's fine I guess.
<Raquel> Raquel> "...zombies. Again..."
<Xanatos> <Kane on Comm> Frankly we need to warn everyone. Incase Angela went after them.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes an alarm on her datapad. She eyes the pilot. "Get us to this location now." 6* She reads off coordinates.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole peers over to Cheryl. 1What's that?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien goes quiet, probably checking the coordinates. "The cemetary?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I had alarms placed on Dias' grave. In case anyone ever tried to get his remains. They just went off.
<Jennifer> * Peter leans forward, staring a bit.
<Xanatos> <Kane on Comm> Hmm. From the dead...I think I see.
* Raquel stares in shock.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ... Chad said something about Eve sending him a message about being in trouble. Could you send someone to check on her, Kane?
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive at the cemetary and the shuttle pilot lands them.
<Xanatos> 6* There's a pause. 1Of course, they're on their way now.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rushes down the ramp and across the cemetary.
* Raquel is off the shuttle quickly, heading after Cheryl
* Jennifer pulls out his gun and rushes after CHeryl.
<Jennifer> * Peter
* Jennifer is now known as Sullivan
<Xanatos> 6* Cole moves down the ramp, peering around.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias' grave has a huge hole in it, as if something climbed out
<Xanatos> <Cole> Well. This sucks. 6He makes a sour expression.
Session Start: Tue Dec 01 00:00:00 2009
Session Ident: #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl falls to her knees, staring at the grave
<Sullivan> "It... it looks like he climbed out himself." *he tenses up*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What...is going on...?
