<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> Date: 4.1
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her face with a hanger over, mid afternoon, a bottle of alcohol next to her as she keeps eyeing documents of old VI patterns, accounts, how thyey could be tied to funding the Order and why, eyes bloodshut; she readjusts her desk for the sixteenth time and her nails are chewed bloody. She rubs her hands together, a dry skin sound heard. The first day hasn't been going well and already on the brink of an OCD breakdown, she seems in full swing with everything have built up, mumbling about failing Curali, quitting, gods and reality links and Steel
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon quietly observes from the mess hall in the base itself, a hidden camera watching Cheryl as she makes food
<DeathStar> 6* John is off base again on Angela duty with Darien, handling the fall out of the teleporter attack and the flack Darien is getting
<Seraphna> * Lisa observes from her desk, looking worried about her leader.
<DeathStar> 6* Emeralda guards the teleporter as the events of late Night 28 play out
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *goes through some data herself, albeit in a less self-destructive way than Cheryl does.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha sneaks in with a crate, looking about in a plotting way.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale is busy catching up on information about VI while Ash keeps working on that as well as trying to help Lemon learn the Medieval guests language
<AquaKoala> *Bel wanders about the mansion
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash also desperately tries to drag up information on Zero and X, but he keeps that to his spare time, and it's likely been very slow going
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers all over the data that Eluere has on the old VI, areas highlighted, knowing she's probably worired as she is - so far it's likely, very likely, VI is funding the Order to stir chaos to keep the team from looking into them
<Seraphna> * Peter rubs his face a little, looking over data himself, unshaven, but otherwise groomed, he flips some pages on a report on the costs of things that the Order has demonstrated to have already.
* Chaintan has joined #Session253
<DeathStar> 6* There seems to be nothing on the two as they weren't part of this reality
<Seraphna> * Tabetha drags the crate down the hall, humming.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs a coat and begins to move for her the hanger, hitting her leg on a desk due to her lack of sleep an ddrinkiing, cursing and moving
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon lets the team know
<Seraphna> * Peter taps out his report, noting from Josephine that the gear was definately old VI issue, and his estimated costs on what they had at the teleporter heist.
<Seraphna> Lisa> "Ch-Cheryl?" *she follows*
<Seraphna> * Peter sighs and calls active duty members to the hangar, heading there himself.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Hale start to head there
<Seraphna> * Tabetha pauses, sitting on the crate.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah?
<Seraphna> * As Cheryl passes, that is.
<Seraphna> Lisa> "Mission...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs face. "Checking something Eluere had circled."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *heads for the hangar*
<AquaKoala> *Bel pounces Lore and Pup, hugging them both
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei senses the team are moving; Sky moves up to Bel to let her know, but isn't going this time
<Seraphna> * Lisa pulls a packet out of her subspace and holds something out to her. "Take one of these."
<kalonZombie> 6*Narok gives Bel a look that politely suggests she shouldn't go either
<AquaKoala> *Bel nods and hugs Sky "Bel stay here."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes it and pops it in her mouth, entering the hanger and gets into the shuttle, sitting down and blinks at everyone in the shuttle
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Permission to speak frankly, general."
<Seraphna> * Peter waves a little.
<Kit> 6Eluere makes her way in as well, in her nightgown-ish "battle garb" Curali gave her.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha, having deposited the crate and sent Sky a note for her own mission, heads onto the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Speak
<DeathStar> 6* Sky peers at the note
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "General, quite frankly, you look like hell right now."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Noted.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flicks switches to power it up
<Seraphna> * The note reads, "Put cat food in the crate in my lab."
<DeathStar> 6* Sky blinks and moves to do so
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash looks at Jose and shrugs
<Seraphna> * Lisa moves to join Sky, staying home as well.
<AquaKoala> *Bel waves to Lisa and smiles
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pushes the levers forward and begins to fly them out, clipping the wing a bit but nothing serious as she flies them out, rubbing her forehead a bit as her head clears from what Lisa gave her and she begins to fly them. she glances at Eluere guiltily for Curali being taken 24 hours ago
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *shrugs* "I said my peace."
<Seraphna> Peter> "Got 24 hours left on the time you said to wait, but I have the tracker ready to go at any time."
<Seraphna> * Sky would find a meowing crate in Tabetha's lab.
<DeathStar> 6* Sky curiously peers at the crate, trying to peer inside
<Seraphna> * The top opens easy enough, 5 kittens inside mewling, looking like tiny tiger cubs.
<DeathStar> <Sky> More cats?
<Seraphna> Lisa> "Cheryl was getting obsessive over getting Tigers."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flies along, not saying what is up; they fly a little outside Mega City and land outside an over grown field, a small crater like area
<Chaintan> 6*Pupumi deadpans...her bowls replaces with tiger themed ones
<Seraphna> * Peter peers around. "So, what's here boss lady?"
<Kit> 6Eluere glances out the view, her eyes backlit as she crossreferences her live sight with databanks and satellite imagery.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale looks out. Ash peers out suspiciously
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Old Venerator base.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There may be clues to how he began VI here
<Seraphna> Peter> "Interesting. We should probably assume it's active if VI and the Order are and using their old toys."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Pfft. If it is active it's long outdated.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets out and walks along the grass, peering at it
<DeathStar> 6* She touches the ground and erases a tunnel down below, leaping down and out of sight
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *steps out as well*
<Seraphna> * Peter raises a brow, heading after her, Tabetha follows as well.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "She's using her powers..."
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale and Ash follow
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Never good...
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei crawls down to peer at the "Tiger" kittens. No doubt Ito will declare war
<DeathStar> <Sky> But not real tigers.
<Seraphna> Lisa> "A-Are we sure? Tabetha gets strange things sometimes. Remember the cookies that danced?"
<Kit> 6Eluere shifts and leaps down into the tunnel.
<DeathStar> 6* Sky shrugs. "You could scan?"
<DeathStar> 6* The drop is 15 feet down and they land in a dark hallway of a base, the lights off. It's dusty and dirty and looks unused
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash leaps down, using the walls and his Parkour skills to slow him down so he doesn't break anything
<Seraphna> * LIsa starts scanning. "Felis... tigris... felinius? Tiger... cats?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twitches at the dust, chewing on her hair ends and looking about
<DeathStar> <Sky> What is that?
<Seraphna> * Peter gruns a little as he stands, peering around, Tabetha lands and peers around.
<Seraphna> Lisa> "I think they're a crossbreed, sometimes people breed predator cats and smaller cats till they get something domestic. They're rare. Wonder how she got these?"
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale works his way down the tunnel as well, slowly and carefully
<Kit> 6Eluere's eyes glow blue in the dark, as she reaches out trying to find a network or any live systems
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "General, are you alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along the hallway, looking twitchy as she passes various piles of rubble, mumbling. "Did I make a mistake...fuck...I should just quit..."
<DeathStar> 6* Everything seems shut off - the systems need to be repowered by a generator, if the generators have power
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Please don't boss. We barely got here. C'mon, let's look a bit deeper.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Doubt you made a mistake, and that isn't a reason to quit."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "They may be selectively reusing old VI assets."
<Seraphna> * Peter peers around and Tabetha starts scanning for active energy sources.
<Seraphna> Peter> "If there's nothing here, that'll answer that question at least."
<DeathStar> 6* There doesn't appear to be anything active or things would likely be powered. They'll have to seek it out. Cheryl brings out her datapad and begins to walk along, mumbling, moving up to a door that's closed and grabbing at it, using one hand to try to wrench it open
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "One thing to consider si that their fondness for old VI surplus may be a sleight-of-hand."
<Seraphna> * Peter moves over to help Cheryl.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "IF there's anything here they're shielding it."
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale moves over to help Cheryl too.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash looks around, blinking
<Kit> <Eluere> It's important to remember, General.
<Kit> 6Eluere's eyes return to normal. 1"Even if you wield the power of one-- you aren't god."
<Kit> <Eluere> You should think like yourself, act like yourself. And only shoulder what you yourself can bear.
<Kit> <Eluere> For everything else, that's why you have us.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Eluere, then peers as Hale and Peter get the door open, revealing an elevator shaft that looks rusted and ld
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *she mumbles something about using resources but being a bad leader and leaps down the shaft*
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "And there she goes."
<Seraphna> Peter> "When we get back, I'm instructing Chii to tie her to a bed."
<Seraphna> * Peter sighs and fixes a line, repelling down after her, Tabetha leaps after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lands on an elevator that jerks and groans, tilting under her like it might fall. She balances, checking the floor and points at the doors to Floor 4. "That one."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *takes Peter's line down.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash leaps after her and uses his parkour shit again. Hale takes Peter's line down once it's safe and not too many people are on it
<Seraphna> * Tabetha jerks to one side and grabs a line, using TK to guide her before she hits the elevator too. She then holds on and focuses, trying to open the door with her mind. "Someone... get ready to brace it."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash nods and readies himself
<Kit> 6Eluere keeps look out while they ready down below.
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator groans as Ash lands on it from his parkour shit and tilts down a few feet
<DeathStar> 6* AS others get on it begins to slide down, the doors open. Cheryl leaps off and braces with her body as the elevator is about to plummet in 5.
<DeathStar> 4.
<DeathStar> 3.
<DeathStar> 2.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Hale leap off
<DeathStar> 1.
<Seraphna> * Peter and Tab leap
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Josephine plummets.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck...fuck...someone grab Peter's line, she might be holding it
<DeathStar> 6* She rubs her face, twitchy and clearly blaming herself
<Seraphna> * Tabetha grabs it with TK and pulls it to Ash's mechanical hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Josephine is about to hit bottom in 3 seconds if he doesn't yank her up
<DeathStar> 6* 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash grabs it
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Oooo, nasty. I said yank it uip
<Seraphna> * Peter pokes her. "See? He's got her. It's alright."
<DeathStar> 6* Ash grabs the line and Josephine's arm is yanked out of socket due to him simply grabbing it, but she's kept from smashing with the elevator, dangling. Cheryl pulls her up with Ash's help and gets her into the floor
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6* She eyes Peter, grabbing his finger and twisting. "Don't. Touch. Me."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...that was not fun."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> We got a doctor here?
<DeathStar> 6* Her voice is cold like an older Cheryl and she walks onward toward the generators.
<Seraphna> * Peter peers her overpausing as his fingers is twisted shifting with it. He eyes her a bit confused.
<DeathStar> 6* Josephine's arm is rather messed up, muscle tendons torn terriblely
<Seraphna> Peter> "Hold the arm to the socket." *he grunts a bit and pulls out his emergency use medical kit*
<Seraphna> * Tabetha frowns, following Cheryl while the others treat Josephine.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash does so, since this is mostly his fault
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale follows Tabetha
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Nnnnnnn!"
<Seraphna> * Peter applies the nanite injector to work on her arm, pulling out a cord and using it to brace her arm. "Hold it there for a few minutes, let's keep moving."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash nods, letting go with the brace in tact now, and heads on up to catch up with the rest
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *stands up and then starts moving after the others*
<Kit> 6Eluere makes her way down tentatively with the chaos now over, grunting as she lowers herself and drops to catch the end.
<Seraphna> * Peter begins following after Cheryl, looking off in her direction, likely taken aback by her behavior for a moment.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches the generator room, eyeing it all, frowning and begins to touch the machines, focusing and transferring energy and life into it, grimacing as it powers up and begins to bring systems back online
<kalonZombie> <Hale> And let there be light...
<Seraphna> * Tabetha makes a face at all the reality power use when she has experts with her, but moves over to oversee the system gets itself running properly.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Hope the place doens't tear itself apart. Its in really lousy condition."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... *she eyes Tabetha* That wasn't reality power
<Kit> 6Eluere makes a face. 1"General..." 6Then lets her eyes glow, attempting to network with it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks about, and Eluere is able to access the network but only with limited access - it seems there's damage and she has to be in front of the computers, one floor up
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A battle took place here a long time ago
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts about, rubbing her hand along her arm.
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Looks like it.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha peers over at her hand. "What did you do if that wasn't reality power? It's neat."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Have any details on this battle?"
<Kit> <Eluere> No, I can't access anything directly unless we ge back up a floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks up.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Were you in that battle, General?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Someone blast a hole in the floor---there. 6* She points after looking at the datapad.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. Not my time
<Seraphna> * Tabetha forms a blaster and aims, firing as directed.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Hrm... wonder who fought it then. I figured VI only became a threat around the time you and some others came into the spotlight."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Now I'm curious. My job was to piece all this together for Cran, but I missed this one."
<Kit> <Eluere> You're not the only one.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> He either really wanted it hidden or it wasn't that important
<Seraphna> Peter> "Other possibilities too, but let's just find the aswer instead."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ridiarium Special Force.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Got on Earth
<DeathStar> 6* As the hole forms, Cheryl leaps up and bounces up to the next level
<Seraphna> * Peter raises his brow. "One hell of a coverup then."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Explains the crater topside."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But like I said, there may be files of VI left behind if Venerator couldn't clean it up
<Seraphna> * Tabetha moves after Cheryl, Peter tosses his line up and Tabetha secures it, he climbs up.
<DeathStar> <CAheryl> And if they're using old networks
<Seraphna> Peter> "The old network protocols."
<Kit> 6Eluere crouches for a moment, then leaps up.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale climbs up it. Ash does too, refraining from using his parkour shit and not wanting to teleport in case he needs the energy
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Yeah. I'll just be down here. Alone."
<Kit> <Eluere> You could use the line they're using?
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash sighs, climbs back down, and grabs Jose and teleports her up now that he's seen up there and knows where safe zones are
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Only one good arm right now."
<Kit> <Eluere> I can lift a human if you held onto it
<Kit> 6Eluere shrugs slightly.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha peers around where they are now.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Live and learn then. We'll svae it for next go around."
<DeathStar> 6* There are old computers from the Ridarium War 20 years ago
<DeathStar> 6* They are flickering and obviously decayed and damaged
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Gleam what you can Eluere. *she paces*
<Seraphna> * Tabetha frowns and pulls out a datapad to start retrieving data.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Hale wait, not hackers.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks pale and weak, leaning against a wall, playing with her uniform incessantly, eyeing Jose's arm
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "General?" *noticing the looks*
<Kit> 6Eluere nods and starts to download data and parse it.
<Seraphna> * Peter sighs a bit and rubs his face. "You should rest when we get back and look over this. Need to be tip top shape for when we activate that beacon, ma'am."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... Right. 6* She closes her eyes. Soon, after the data, they return to base
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Later that evening, with Eluere going through data and Cheryl going over what she sends her way, and Josephine in medical getting shots from Vodka, things go by quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Vodka gives Josephine one last shot. "Da. Taht should be doing.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha pushes the crate into Cheryl's office since she isn't resting.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *Russian* "Thank you, doctor."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash is going over more VI stuff with Hale
<DeathStar> 6* Vodka nods
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at the crate
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tabetha...?
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei lays across Belit
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "I... I got you something to cheer you up..."
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica chases her fox tail about near Chii, having mysteriously had fox ears and tail for two weeks now
<DeathStar> 6* Being a base, she does it by - rolling in her crib
<AquaKoala> *Bel pets Lore, smiling
<Kit> <Chii> Miyuchan sure knows how to entertain the kids/
<Seraphna> * Tabetha opens the crate to reveal the Tiger-Kittens.
<DeathStar> 6* Eluere finally gets a hit on wherte Curali and VI might be, and it's likely not going to go well. They are on the colony that Cheryl killed two innocent people in a berserker rage following a pilot's orders long ago. The money trail seems to lead there. It matches also that the colony was not programmed into the teleport hit spots the other day and why Curali's tracker might not have been going off yet.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Some time, drinks will be on me."
<Kit> 6Eluere pages Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica catches her tail, peering at Chii; Billy, despite Elwyn being back, hasn't been around much since her return trip to the Alt universe - did she hear something she did not like, or is she just out doing production movies?
<Kit> 6Elwyn probably isn't sure, don't ask her.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "I-I didn't give them names yet. So you could."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at the tiger kittens, not sure how to comment. "You have tigers....?" 6* She pauses, and jerks to hit the button. "You have something, Eluere?" 6* The innocent look gone for a hardened one.
<Chaintan> 6*The street date for 'barely legal tails 67 has been pushed up....possibly a sign
<Kit> 6Eluere names the colony. 1"It's not on the hitlist, either."
<Seraphna> * Lisa's eyes go wide, peeking in when the colony is named.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ... 6* Her face grows colder. "I understand. Lets get the team together." 6* She moves past the crate, not looking again. Vodka nods to Josephine, then eeyes the datpad
<DeathStar> <Vodka> That is not being good; another mission so soon?
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Sounds like. I've got to go." *heads out*
<Seraphna> Peter> <It's Curali's probable location...>
<Seraphna> * Peter gets his stuff together, getting ready to go.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha pouts a little, closing the crate and looking at Lisa, "Take care of them till we get back?"
<Kit> <Chii> ..." 6she crosses her arms. Eluere takes a breath, then goes to change and follow the others aboard again.
<Seraphna> * Lisa nods a little and Tabetha heads to the shuttles.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale and Ash head to the shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* Chii can tell by Cheryl's mood she's slipping further into darkness by the colony's name where she crushed a pregnant woman
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *shows up on the shuttle* "The doctor said that I'll live."
<Seraphna> * Peter eyes the colony name, inwardly cursing, Vodka hearing it over the bond.
<DeathStar> <Vodka> <Da. And the place Cheryl made the big mistake>
<Seraphna> Peter> <Yes, where Lisa and Angela became Dragoons and Jennifer and Rebecca Tanner died. Lisa's mother too.>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves not the shuttle, but to Em's spot
<Seraphna> * PEter and Tabetha head there.
<Seraphna> * Lisa sits quietly and feeds the kitties, Cameron moves to the teleporters.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Hale follow
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets on the teleporter, rubbing her face. Em studies her, confused
<DeathStar> <Em> <Something bad happening?>
<Seraphna> * Peter and Tabetha move over, getting on.
<Seraphna> * Cameron walks in and adjusts his glasses. "I'd like to come along, if you don't mind Ma'am."
<Kit> <Mem> Oiiii. "Big sis."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *comm* "Captain Sullivan, has the departure point been assigned somewhere besides the shuttle?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Mem; Lorelei meanwhile begins to cry, sensing Cheryl's mood
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mem? What are you doing back here?
<Kit> 6Chii goes to Lorelei to pick her up.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Teleporter room."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. Right. You and Katrina are at the school due to PAX
<Kit> <Mem> I have reasons; most of them standing in front of me.
<DeathStar> 6* She rubs her face
<kalonZombie> <Hale> <Think so... Cheryl's getting a bit obsessed.>
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Hale step on
<Kit> 6Mem reaches out to grip at Cheryl's clothing, grinning.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *leaves the hangar and heads for the teleporters*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns a bit at being touched.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mem...
<Kit> 6Eluere pauses when entering to see the two.
<Kit> <Mem> That's a nice color you're wearing, hee hee. Ready to go a round again?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I have to save one of our sisters.
<Kit> <Mem> Yeah. I noticed you lost one of the rugrat newhalfs.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches for the button to go, inputting the destination, looking like she got slapped at Mem's words 'you lost'
<Seraphna> * Cameron steps on, since he wasn't told no.
<Kit> 6Mem throws an arm around Cheryl, giggling like a drunk.
<Seraphna> * Kumiko peeks in. "Kumi watch base?"
<Seraphna> Kumi> "Or can Kumi save Cura?"
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *enters the teleporter room* "What's the mission spec?"
<Kit> <Mem> Don't worry, Whiskey. Let's just go pick her up, eh?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You can come, Kumiko - you're on active duty after all
<Seraphna> * Kumiko smiles and floats over, she pauses and looks at Cheryl. "Is... okay to hug auntie?"
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash smiles at Kumiko.
<Kit> <Mem> More the merrier? I'm so used to working alone. Maybe we can make it a party!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl waits for Kumiko to get on and hits the button to go, frowning and looking more troubled than ever, not hearing Kumiko; they appear in a special area of the Teleporter Building
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Where we at?
<DeathStar> 6* Some officers peer at them, studying Cheryl. "General Mizukaze, we were not expecting you."
<Kit> 6Eluere uses her system to interface and try contacting Cheryl. <Big sis?>
<DeathStar> 6* The six officers study her, two officer's uniforms wrinkled and tight fitting
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <.... what?>
<Kit> <Mem> It's a bit impromptu. Heh heh.
<Seraphna> * Peter steps to one side and peers them over, sizing them up.
<Kit> <Eluere> <Good... I'll keep the channels open. If you need anything don't hesitate.>
<Seraphna> * Tabetha stands quietly, but gently listens to the surface thoughts of the ill fitting looking officers.
<DeathStar> 6* They seem to be surprised and wondering why they're there. <Cheryl> Nothing, we're here on business. Lets go.
<DeathStar> 6* She turns and walks for the door, leaving. the officers peer at each other then the group
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *turns on her heel and follows after Cheryl*
<Seraphna> * Tabetha, Kumiko, Peter and Cameron follow.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> <Cheryl... some of them were poorly kept for officers... considering they pay off dirty cops... how far a leap is it to assume they might also impersonate officers?>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> <It's possible. Peter, can you find Curali's signal?>
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems more jittery than normal
<DeathStar> 6* As they walk along and head for the exit to the building, her hand keeps opening and closing and she keeps picturing the battle
<Seraphna> * PEter pulls out the datapad with the marker track and checks.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a faint signal at the area of the deaths of the two wome. Cheryl eyes it and shudders, and exits the building. She steps in front of a taxi, making it slam on breaks and pulls the driver out, getting in after showing her ID
<DeathStar> 6* Mem chuckles, practically getting it on her lap until pushing off a bit and Eluere gets in the back
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *climbs into the back as well.
<Seraphna> * Peter moves to commandeer a second vehicle considering how many are here, Kumiko gets in as does Tabetha.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl begins to drive along, frowning as she keeps at high speeds, running red lights and causing cars to swerve. As she arrives at the area, she eyes a memorial set up for the battle and gets out - it's recently made and shows a stgatue of her, the "Killer". She grimaces, wondering if the Order had it made.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I...... I..
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Ignore the propaganda machine. Focus on the mission."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Ignore it... they chose this place for this very reason."
<Seraphna> * PEter follows in a car with those who remain, keeping up with Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... *she looks about. It's an ordinary street area, with a park across the way where the statue is at. There's two apartment buildings nar it and an office building, but nothing else other than the street itself
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... .... I...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks left and right, rubbing at her face. "Where owuld it be...underground...?"
<DeathStar> 6* A hobo on a bench in the park eyes the statue, then her, and points. "The Butcher is here!"
<Seraphna> Kumiko> "MO of VI always have underground to protect against blasts!"
<DeathStar> 6* A few people in the park look her way and mothers call their kids, mumbling about how the General dares show her face there
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then it wouldn't be under---6* She looks distracted at the people eyeing her and yelling at her
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I should go...I'm making things worse...
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "You're in command. Its your call."
<Seraphna> * Tabetha reaches out and touches her head, "Cheryl, don't hurt me." *she starts using her empathy and telepathics to instill calm and focus into her* "Please... ignore them."
<Seraphna> * Peter pulls up, Cameron getting out and peering around, a former resident of the area until his home was destroyed.
<DeathStar> 6* It looks like it might work when they begin to throw things at Cheryl and those around her. A red tomato splatters across Cheryl's face and chest, like blood and she stares at it and she backs away. "Find...Curali and save her. Find VI." 6* She turns and begins to move off.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Tabetha, go with her."
<Seraphna> * Tabetha nods and heads off after her.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "We have our orders." *nods*
<DeathStar> 6* The crowd surges forward after Cheryl, fire and brimstone. A few people in the crowd seem to be stirring them
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along and finds an alley, puking in it
<Seraphna> * PEter takes a plant to the face, but stands there, Cameron pulls off his glasses and glares. He calls out, "What do you people think you're doing!?"
<Seraphna> * Peter heads towards one of them.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha frowns, following her in. "We need to get away from here."
<DeathStar> 6* They pass the team, about 20-30 in all
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I....
<Chaintan> 6*A loud bang goes off almost like a firecracker between the surging masses and Cheryl and co
<DeathStar> 6* The crowd jerks. "S-She's attacking us!" "She'll kill us all!" "Run from the butcher!@"
<DeathStar> 6* They begin to retreat."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "It's the Order, Cheryl. Or VI, they set this up to deter us."
<Kit> 6Mem grabs a pair of the crowd and tosses them a good distance-- but not enough to hurt them and not on anything that could.
<Kit> <Mem> Why don't you all just mind your own? There's far worse 'butchers' in the world than whiskey over there.
<Seraphna> * Peter keeps on his target, moving for one of the inciters. Cameron remains stationary, pulling on a pair of gloves.
<DeathStar> 6* Those grabbed scream that they're being attacked and the crowd goes wild in fear; a few are filming it with their datapads. A few are frowning, not sure if they find it good or bad
<Kit> <Mem> Music to my ears. Pansies.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I...
<Seraphna> Kumiko> "Memsis, don't hurt them."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *moves right after Peter*
<Seraphna> * Tabetha gently touches her again and tries to calm her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans against the wall. "I keep making mistakes. Steel running rampant, leaks in reality, Josephine's arm, Curali taken." 6* She shakes her head
<Chaintan> 6*A figure moves out to be sure to buy them time and draw attention away
<Kit> 6Mem slowly eyes Kumiko oddly, making a face. 1"Who the hell are you?"
<DeathStar> 6* The inciters shift to move with the crowd, using them to get away. If Peter keeps after, he'll likely have to chase after people and it'll seem like he's scary
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "We're here for Curali. You know what you did wasn't intentional, you're not a butcher. One of the victims of this is your own loving sister, still alive and happy. One works in your own office."
<Kit> <Eluere> <You keep blaming yourself for the wrong things.>
<Seraphna> * PEter stops, watching them.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Elure. I need you to cover this area. We have something to look for."
<Kit> 6Mem drifts into the crowd itself, using light nudges and pushes, not shoves, blending in with them as she stalks after some of the inciters with a smile.
<DeathStar> 6* The crowd is running from Mem specifically - she'd have to run to drift into the crowd
<Seraphna> * Kumiko sighs a bit and floats, watching Mem run off. She peers at the park, then down at the street.
<Kit> 6Mem does, shifting her hair, eyes and skin in the process.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her face, considering that
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "I'd check out the memorial."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Cameron, who was hurt real bad by it, works for you and is trying to help. We all believe in you and love you. Don't let a bunch of bad guys make you feel bad."
<DeathStar> 6* The people run down the street and regather at one area where there's more people, telling them what happened, the inciters nestled in with others.
<Kit> <Eluere> Surveilance? But for what?
<Kit> <Eluere> I can trace, but without keyframes for what I'm looking for exactly...
<Seraphna> Peter> "I want you to block out all cameras, especially the ones filming us." *he says lightly*
<Kit> <Eluere> Oh... a blackout.
<Seraphna> * Peter starts scanning the park ground.
<Kit> <Eluere> I'll see what I can do.
<DeathStar> 6* The park ground seems to have the normal stuff under it parks do
<Kit> 6Mem keeps calm and slow if/when she blends, listening in on conversations and keeping tabs on her marks, using her odd vision ability if she has to.
<Seraphna> Peter> They definately have people here, so where?"
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *heads over to check out the monument*
<DeathStar> 6* They seem to be getting people to get more people to go deal with the group attacking them
<DeathStar> 6* people are messaging and getting friends and family together.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems to only be half-listening
<DeathStar> 6* Eyeing the wall and tracing lines on it
<DeathStar> 6* The monument seems to be made of bronze
<Seraphna> * Tabetha blinks. "Cheryl..."
<Kit> 6Mem scrunches her face and shifts slowly to get closer to one of the core inciters.
<Kit> <Eluere> <I know it's hard, big sis, but... you actually try. Unlike mother. We can't lose you, too.>
<DeathStar> 6* The inciter crosses his arms, watching the others do his work for him now
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... 6* She rubs her face, trying to focus, then eyes the two apartment buildings and the office, moving to the office building
<Seraphna> * Tabetha moves with her.
<Kit> 6Mem keeps her back toward him generally, but stays near, occasionally shifting her appearance to lose suspicion of being a tail-- and stalks him, waiting for him to separate.
<Seraphna> * Peter peers around and eyes the crowd, he gets back into his car and drives it a little, setting it up sideways on the street, then does the same with the taxi.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "All I got is a bronze statue."
<DeathStar> 6* The name seems to be something about Computer Technology and the street address is 6 Vinderten Lane for it
<Seraphna> * Cameron eyes the steet and laughs.
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Venerator... you were never subtle."
<DeathStar> 6* The inciter isn't leaving, or moving, just staying near the crowd, which is slowly getting bigger as it gathers more people
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> This street was definitely not called this before. 6* She checks it and it was changed 12 years ago
<Seraphna> Cameron> 6 VInderten."
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes the office, which overlooks the park and everything going on - they've no doubt been watching
<Kit> 6Mem just waits to see if he does eventually in the mantime.
<Seraphna> Cameron> "6, which is the roman numeral VI, VInderten, starting with VI."
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Someone's having a little joke."
<Kit> <Eluere> One that no one noticed before..?
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Who else came here looking for an overused terrorist cell?"
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Of all streets, a place where so many who have been touched or hurt by VI too. At any rate... something is here. These people wouldn't have set this all up for nothing."
<Kit> <Eluere> The fact so many in this precise locale were 'touched' by VI and didn't notice such a coincidence is what bothers me.
<Seraphna> Cameron> "This wasn't the name of the street when we lived her."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No one was hurt by VI here before
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ever.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> VI never made an appearance until years after the Ridiarium War and my killings herte
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Hrm. Yet so many people who ended up facing VI in the future came out of that accident."
<DeathStar> 6* cheryl rubs face
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Great, so it's my fault.
<Seraphna> * Cameron eyes her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Still, it's too blatant.
<Seraphna> Cameron> "How you arrived at that I'll never understand. You're smart enough to see what I actually mean."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the office, shaking her head, then eyes the apartment building
<Kit> 6Eluere slaps Cheryl.
<Seraphna> Cameron> "You're saying this is a trap."
<DeathStar> 6* She jerks from the slap
<Seraphna> * Peter checks on Curali's signal.
<Kit> <Eluere> Get the hell off this colony, General.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ..... Fine.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns and walks off.
<DeathStar> 6* Curali's signal seems to have died off, like it was discovered
<Kit> 6Eluere eyes her go, makes a "eeee" face, then huffs.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha frowns, following her.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Eluere."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reality repels Tabetha back
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "We need to act now."
<Kit> <Eluere> Don't even start with me.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Cheryl..."
<Kit> <Eluere> We need to find Curali's last location, stat."
<Seraphna> Peter> "Eluere, shut up and use your connection with her."
<Kit> 6Eluere punches Peter.
<Seraphna> * Peter holds up the datapad. "Last location is listed. Now."
<Seraphna> * Peter dodges, grabs her fist, and tosses her away from him.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Do that again and you're off duty."
<Kit> 6Eluere grabs his wrist and plants her feet, staring deadpannedly.
<Seraphna> * Peter eyes her, hand ready to do something if she continues. "Got it?"
<Kit> <Eluere> When your commands start with shut up, I have nothing more to say or listen of you.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Go home."
<Kit> 6Eluere lets go of Peter's wrist and ignores him, peering into the networks for the utility paths nearest the last locale of the tracer.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *rubs the bridge of her nose&
<Seraphna> Peter> "You're suspended when we get back. I'm done with your selective attitude. Either find your sister or go."
<DeathStar> t6* when the crowd is big enough and begins to advance on the team, the 6 inciters slip off to a car
<DeathStar> 6* The networks here are all too hardwired for her to get into, including the office and the apartments.
<Seraphna> * Kumiko takes a breath and slips into an alley, rippling up to a roof and looking at the car.
<Kit> 6Eluere uses triangulation given they had an old style obviously anyway and sets off.
<DeathStar> 6* They will have to decide a course of actions - the office building with the 6 Vinerator Address, or the apartment buildings, that have real life people living in them
<Kit> 6Mem continues her stalking after the ones heading to cars.
<DeathStar> 6* There's really nothing to set off to - they're at the location
<Seraphna> * Peter eyes the crowd. Cameron frowns.
<DeathStar> 6* They have to decide which of the the two locations to enter and the networks don't give a clue
<Kit> 6Then Kit remains having no clue what's going on beyond Mem, it's greek
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "You're in command, Captain. What's the call?"
<Seraphna> * Peter looks at Josephine. "We don't have enough to split up it seems. We're checking the apartments."
<Seraphna> Peter> "Cheryl was right, it's too obvious."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Understood. We better get off the street ASAP."
<Kit> 6Eluere heads for the office buildings.
<DeathStar> 6* They get into the vehicles, unaware of Mem so far
<DeathStar> 6* They seem to be gettingi n touch with osmeone
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *heads for the apartments per Peter's orders*
<DeathStar> 6* The mob begins to get in sight; meanwhile Cheryl returns to the teleporter area, not paying attention to the corrupt officers sneaking up on her
<Seraphna> * Peter heads to the apartment building, not bothering to try and force Eluere since she wants to go rogue. Cameron follows. Kumiko pulls out a datapad and zooms in on the car, taking pictures of it's registration.
<Kit> 6Mem sees if she can slip atop one of the cars silently and lowers her profile to stay out of view, remaining alert to do so.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha follows Cheryl at a distance, on orders to follow her.
<DeathStar> 6* The office buildings look offical; the doors seemingly locked with a camera, but it's facing away right now so one could sneak in real quick
<Kit> <Eluere> <They're closing in on you, big sis. Hired indeed.>
<Kit> 6Eluere quickens her pace to get inside while the camera's not facing.
<DeathStar> 6* One moment to describe the next few scenes
<DeathStar> 6* As Eluere enters, they seem to know she's the only one who fell into the trap, and as she steps in, the entire building explodes behind them, engulfing Eluere in a large explosion. Cheryl jerks and grabs her head in pain as she feels Eluere and falls over, gagging and grabbing her face, tasting bile in her mouth. "God, no...nonono...." 6* She doesn't even register weapons being aimed at her as Mem would hear those inside that the mob failed to drive the othersi n and they only got one into the trap and that they'll head out to watch the base to blow it up if need be, if the real base is compromised, indicating the apartment building is it. As Peter and the others enter, they would see a normal lobby and an old man sitting there reading a paper, super intendent on his jump suit. He gives them a friendly smile, his paper on his lap conviently.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha grabs an officer sneaking up on CHeryl with TK and jerks him into the other. It could seem like he body checked his friend. She fires a stun blast at another, if there is one. Her eyes scary and cold.
<Seraphna> * PEter looks at the man, he flashes his badge. "I need to see your renter's list."
<DeathStar> 6* the officers jerk and turn to aim at TAbethea as two are taken out, the other four firing at Tabetha, clipping her in the shoulder with two shots
<Seraphna> * Peter then pauses at the explosion, peering around.
<DeathStar> 6* As Peter peers, the man grabs a high tech rail blaster and aims at Peter's right arm, firing
<Seraphna> * Tabetha yelps and fires at two with her guns, TK slamming another.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Gun!" *whips out a pistol and fires at the man*
<Seraphna> * Peter jerks aside since he was turning from the explosion, and whips out his gun.
<Seraphna> * Cameron leaps to one side since he was behind him. "Damn..."
<DeathStar> 6* Tabethea takes one out with the gun and TK slams another, but running low on energy, allows the remaining two to fire and hit her in the chest, sending her falling. Cheryl rises and breaks one's neck and she pants, kicking the other and stumbles out, heading back, hair iwld in her face
<Seraphna> * Kumiko looks down at the explosion and whimpers, she floats up and peers down at the rubble.
<Kit> 6Mem makes another face, then pulls out a set of knives in either hand, steadying herself and lifting up a little, then flings them out in a very coordinated pattern, aiming to go for assassinations on the outlying inciters within their cars, attempting to only leave the one she's atop.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha whimpers as she lands on her back, panting, she lifts herself up and lets Restoration take effect for now, heading weakly after Cheryl.
<Chaintan> 6*something moves in the blaze towards them
<DeathStar> 6* Mem flips the other van and the ones inside the last van jerk and grab their weaponsand fire into the ceiling
<DeathStar> 6* Josephine fires into the man and shoots him, Peter's shoulder torn off by the blast and sending him flying out into the street by the blaze
<Kit> 6Mem backflips quickly off the car and lands behind it, whirling and hurtling blades into the tires so it can't grip and drive off.
<DeathStar> 6* The van is hit and switches to hover mode, turning back on her
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches the inferno after stealing another taxi, pissing off the taxi company and reaches the blaze, stepping on Peter and over him toward the blaze
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eluere?!
<Seraphna> * Peter curses, since apparently both his dodge and one shot shield failed him, he grunts and rises, using his refilled medical pack on himself, pulling out his gun.
<Chaintan> 6*Elere is deposited, relatively uncharred near Cheryl
<Kit> 6Mem grins widly into its light and leaps, aiming to roll over the hood, punching inward the front view and hanging on, punching in the side and aiming to slit the driver.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at the dragoon girl, who's blue hair is ruined now, and looks up. "Who the hell?"
<Jackieness> <Josephine> <The enemy activity is at the apartment block.>
<DeathStar> 6* Josephine, still inside, would hear sounds upstairs.
<Kit> <Eluere> P-P-- Pupumi..!?
<Seraphna> * Cameron peers up. "We have activity above."
<Seraphna> Peter> "Fuckin... VI..."
<DeathStar> 6* The mob, eyeing the burning building, points at Cheryl
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *moves for the stairwell*
<DeathStar> <Mob> Butcher!
<Chaintan> 6*The figure reels a little and rushes towards the mob, fire encased around its form
<DeathStar> 6* The driver falls over dead and veers wildly at the mob
<Kit> <Eluere> I-It's the apartments!" 6She squeals, flailing. Her option summons are out, flickering after shorting forming her shield ineffectively.
<DeathStar> 6* The mob jerks at the fire encased figure running at them and turn, jerking at the van flying at them
<Kit> <Mem> Urgh, this is where it sucks being 'rehabilitated!'
<Seraphna> * Peter rises, looking pissed off at the mob. Tabetha, running up, tries to stop the Van with TK, using what she has left.
<Kit> 6Mem rolls over the side of the van and digs her leg into the ground, straining her inhuman strength and hurtles the van over the crowd before crumpling and rolling wildly over the ground
<DeathStar> 6* As Josephine moves up, some men in black fire down the stairs at Josephine, trying to keep her pinned.
<Chaintan> 6*The figure's flames soon are snuffed out, short white hairshifting from the updraft looking back over at Cheryl before bounding off
<Kit> <Mem> Somebody-- gh-- fucking-- damn it-- get the-- fuck! -- passenger--- OW! --left!
<Seraphna> * Cameron frowns, then pulls out a stun grenade, he clicks it on and tosses it up the stairs, duckiing back quickly.
<Kit> <Eluere> That's not Pupumi...
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *moves to get out of their clear angle and then returns fire*
<Kit> 6Eluere makes a face, saving a shot in her memory
<Seraphna> * Peter moves to Mem and the car, heading for the passenger.
<DeathStar> 6* The van goes flying and slams into a building, saving the mob. Cheryl stares at the figure, then the mob, who run off and Cheryl holds her arm weakly, checking on Eluere and Tabetha, wavering then falling over from exhaustion and OCD overlaoding her brain finally
<DeathStar> 6* The passenger groans, trying to bite down on cyniade
<DeathStar> 6* Cameron's stun grenade goes off and a few MIB fall over
<Seraphna> * Peter fires a stun shot at one of the passengers.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *nods and then heads up the stairs again*
<Seraphna> * Cameron follows her.
<DeathStar> 6* The passenger is hit by the stun shot and slumps. As Josephine goes up the stairs, he would see a door open and a rail gun leans around the side, firing at her gut
<Kit> 6Mem stops rolling somewhere, after hitting a fire hydrant and cursing, then lies crumpled with her leg-- the one she dug into the street-- at an odd angle and her clothing a bit torn up-- smoking.
<Seraphna> * Cameron grabs her and pulls her back out of the way of the blast, either into another doorway or down with him under the shot.
<DeathStar> (<Kat> You did this to avoid getting pregnant for 2 weeks)
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *moves to dart to the side*
<Kit> 6She does, however, raise an arm and give the bird to nothing in particular.
<Seraphna> * PEter stuns the others in case any fail to get their pill, and pulls out the first stunned after holstering his gun.
<DeathStar> 6* The shot explodes out the front side of the building, sending plaster down over the street as it misses the two inside; the shooter ducks back inside. A shuttle lands on the roof of the apartment and the MIB agents begin to move inside it, while three remain on the second floor, firing to keep Jose and Cameron pinned
<Seraphna> * Tabetha groans and closes her eyes, expendign her spirit to revitalize herself.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...have another grenade?"
<Kit> 6Eluere carresses Cheryl, looking regretful, then she picks up something off Cheryl and runs for the apartment building, trying to see if she can steal surveilance-- even if it's from the enemy shuttle.
<Seraphna> * Kumiko, on another roof, looks over, then creates a small ripple to try and disable the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy shuttle's technology seems too advanced for Eluere to hack, but she does get access to a camera purposely left for her - Curali is all bloodied on the second floor, and an agent is aiming a gun at her head
<Seraphna> * Cameron pulls out another stun grenade.
<DeathStar> 6* A jammer blocks the ripple
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle begins to take off
<Seraphna> * Kumiko puffs her cheeks and gets mad, then, like a Jedi, holds out her hands and increases the gravity around the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle fires a missle at Kumiko
<Seraphna> * Kumiko squeaks and leaps away from the missle, flying out of danger, letting go of the gravity to do so.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Well, toss it in there."
<DeathStar> 6* The MIB lean around the side, firing at CAmeron
<Kit> <Eluere> <Curali!! I'll be right... there!> 6Her eyes flare, both calculating the location from the lighting and angle, vaulting up the side of the apartment, punching into the walls to make hand holds to quickly scale the outside, simultaneously overloading the camera, to explode outward at the one holding the gun.
<DeathStar> 6* The camera hits the man and he falls over, losing his gun as Eluere climbs up.
<Seraphna> * Cameron leans back out of the way, then tosses the greande, aiming at a wall to bounce it around at at the MIB.
<DeathStar> 6* They jerk and fire at the stun grenade, exploding it between both groups so they're both semi-stunned, MIB and Jose/Cameron
<Kit> 6Eluere goes to fling herself in the window, crossing her arms in front of her to shield from the glass, forming her swallowsword with a feral look.
<DeathStar> 6* The ringing tones and strange distorted images ring for Cameron and JOse
<DeathStar> 6* The man pushes himself up as Eluere comes through, grabbing a knife and swinging it at her
<Seraphna> * Cameron grumbles. Shaking his head.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle gets away
<Seraphna> * PEter ties up the stunned guy with a cord, one hand, and his teeth.
<Seraphna> * Kumiko ripples down to the others, or floats, panting.
<Kit> 6Eluere takes the knife, twisting her hands and bringing her swallow up diagonally, aiming to literally cleave his side to the neck.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...how long... will the world spin?"
<DeathStar> 6* The MIB jerks, spewing blood and falls over
<Seraphna> * Cameron tries to center himself, reaches his hand around, and unleashes a blast of Dragoon Energy down the hall at them. Lisa's distinctive red energy.
<DeathStar> 6* The MIB stumble towards the two, firing blindly at them; a shot hits Cameron in the shoulder and one in Jose's side
<DeathStar> 6* Cameron manages to hit one, killing them
<Seraphna> * Cameron takes the hit with a grunt to get the blast off, he throws a knife wildly at the other. "Do something."
<Kit> <Eluere> I-- I will be... " 6She eyes the blood on her, looking crazed.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Nnnn!" *rolls over, bring her pistol up and firing at the MiB*
<Kit> <Eluere> I will be right back, big sis!" 6She wails, running out of the room into the hall, on a bloodhunt for the ones causing Cameron and the others trouble.
<DeathStar> 6* Josephine shoots the man over and over and drops him. A hidden third one takes aim with a rail gun as the two's heads clear, not seeing Eluere behind him
<DeathStar> 6* He begins to pull the trigger. "Target aquired, eliminating Josephine."
<Kit> 6Eluere charges, her swallow turned sideways so one end is being used as a spear and heaves it in an upward angle as she goes for his spine.
<DeathStar> 6* The man jerks and falls over
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> (quick pee, then scene describe)
* AquaKoala has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 190 seconds)
<DeathStar> 4.2
<DeathStar> 6* It's late, late night or early, early morning depending on how you look at it. Curali lays in medical, her back examined where Stigmata has been removed, and Cheryl is up, quiet and talking with Lemon, peering at Curali guiltily, waiting on the verdict. For some reason, VI wanted Josephine dead, it seems, and is definitely working with the Order to stir up trouble. Are they hoping to use the Fellowship to overthrow the government, or is it a means to an ends?
* AquaKoala has joined #Session253
<DeathStar> 6* These questions remain blank, but it seems, for once, Steel is not behind the Order, or if he is, it's a branch
<DeathStar> 6* It would seem, also, a mysterious white pupumi look alike is out there, saving dragons from fires.
<DeathStar> <Vodka> I am having bad news about Curali
<DeathStar> 6* She speaks finally, pulling off bloodied gloves
<Seraphna> * Peter, arm patch up or not, is awake and looking over Josephine, his face sullen.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale looks over at Vodka
<Seraphna> * over Curali
<Seraphna> * Tabetha is resting up due to taking gunshots in the shoulders and chest.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Why the long face, captain?"
<DeathStar> <Vodka> Good news, she is being recovered soon and healthy. Bad news, several stigmata removed, including connection to Eluere and other dragoon features.
<Seraphna> * Cameron sits staring at the data. Looking a bit pale, shoulder bandaged.
<DeathStar> <Vodka> I will need time to decide what all features are offline
<Kit> <Eluere> The ones that matter...
<Seraphna> * Kumiko lays on the bed by Curali, watching her, uninjured but she seems unwilling to move from her.
<Kit> 6Eluere sits in the corner holding her knees, not unlike some toddler looking forlorn.
<DeathStar> 6* Robert holds Eluere
<DeathStar> <Vodka> if we are able to get stigmata back, we can reimplant
<Seraphna> * Peter frowns. "Then we have another goal in facing VI."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> What happens if another dragoon or person puts in the stigmata that tied the twins togtether? <Vodka> I am not knowing - perhaps a connection to Eluere like twins shared.
<DeathStar> <Vodka> For now we have to assume, like Steel, they are wanting to know about them - perhaps as study. Maybe they are wanting bargaining chips
<Seraphna> Peter> "We should keep her monitored." *he says quietly* "If they find ways of munipulating that connection, it's not going to work out well for us."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> The one good news is this.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> With hyperspace down, and the teleporters to the colony closed off
<DeathStar> <Lemon> VI operations is cut off. That shuttle cannot get far.
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Well at least we got one break.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> They clearly have some here still, but if the heart was there, any funds they had are now inaccessible
<Kit> <Eluere> If anyone tries..." 6She looks up, eyes like the devil-- if they were blue.
<Seraphna> Peter> "For now, at any rate. I wouldn't put it past them to find another wway, or an ally."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "So wonder why they have a hardon for me in particular."
<Kit> <Eluere> I'll destroy their being at the core...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I have one last news.
<Kit> 6Mem peers in and whistles. 1"That sucks."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I am quitting. Lemon is taking over so EarthGov can't pull any shit and will be 'me'.
<DeathStar> 6* She rises and walsk out
<Kit> 6Mem glances at Cheryl, rolling her eyes, then peers at Peter, slowly grinning.
<Seraphna> * Peter slowly stares, watching her go.
<Kit> <Mem> Hey, buddy. Great job up there. High five?
