Session 416

Session Start: Tue Mar 04 16:31:27 2014
Session Ident: #Session416
<DeathStar> 0-608.8.31 / Alt Date: 10-605.2.13 / February 13th, 2241
<DeathStar> Location: Shuttle Approaching the PAX (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> Gold team infiltrates the alternate PAX, led by Cheryl sporting a Chii-scarf. There they plan to find their missing Progenitor targets aboard the Illium-run space monolith.
<DeathStar> Location: Prime PAX
<DeathStar> Zephyr meanwhile learns the joys of being a new mother whilst demanding to be married to Megumi before the birth much to the chagrin of Cuddles. Erevis steps in and gladly offers her services as a goddess to join the two in matrimony.
<DeathStar> The baby is born and rather than following the trend of Mew in alternate, or Zoe as previously discussed, Megumi deems the child "Hope" in honor of their attempts to grasp a better future. When it seems all is through-- Zephyr suddenly flat lines as another baby is unexpectedly born.
<DeathStar> Location: Alt PAX
<DeathStar> Gold Team meanwhile makes their way through an Illium bakery that now populates where Katrina's bar had been. Using a secret passage still at its underbelly, Mem takes a hostage of a nice bakery Illium and they proceed to a hidden upper level entry.
<DeathStar> In the upper levels, Cheryl and Chii provide a distraction against security, allowing the others to breach into the chambers of the inner courts, still modelled after ancient japanese custom. Using the telepads they decide to enter the consort's room, and find themselves trapped with a hostile, jaded Erevis.
<DeathStar> Location: Prime PAX
<DeathStar> The new child is discovered to somehow be the offspring of the alternate Miyuki and Zeph, and is given the name Kiseki appropriately for being an outright miracle.
<DeathStar> Location: Alternate PAX
<DeathStar> The group, with Erevis' help and hyperspace, breaks into the main chambers and discovers Ao in a tank, being coveted by what looks like a ten year old Illium with a certain progenitor's features... claiming Ao to be their queen.
<DeathStar> Breaking her out proves to be a challenge, one in which the re-emerging Chii and Cheryl almost bite an explosion during an exchange of threats to reclaim Ao for the Illium-- apparently she is their precious ticket to breeding Illium with progenitor blood.
<DeathStar> Location: Oracle Planet
<DeathStar> Amaterasu along with Inari and Miyuki and Megumi, head to alternate to discuss the whereabouts of Gold Team-- and Zeph and alternate Miyuki. Hearing about their passing through the gate... they wait for days for a report to which none comes...

And Now....

<DeathStar> Date: 10-608.9.4 / 10-605.2.17 / February 17th, 2241
<DeathStar> Location: Prime - Vatican City, SU Base (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* With New EarthGov discovered and every day ships and supplies going out to build the infrastructure, the job of Peter's team has lately been to monitor disturbances on EarthGov's main planet Earth and the colonies for any attacks and saboteurs that might try to destroy the ships against the Senators and population that will eventually be leaving - aka, hitting the ships with supplies to build it up since some of the population doesn't like how smoothtly the transistion is going. Granted, John currently runs the team but he's given Peter some leadway in running his old team
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei sits at her console, trying to focus, crossing off another morning - the 4th with Cheryl missing and leans back
<Aqua> *Del yawns, leaning back in the chair in his office
<Sera> * Peter looks over reports and other things on the current status of the move, happy to agree to this since it lets him technically look out both ways.
<Chainy> 6*Umi trots in, on her back a platter with their drinks
<Sera> * Tabetha is in her lab working on a new project that seems to actually have an aim at scoring funding instead of just pleasing her whims.
<DeathStar> 6* John moves from his office, the old Pope office, rubbing the back of his head. "Looks like the school will be taking a tour of our offices today."
<kalonZombee> 6*Hale helps out Peter
<DeathStar> 6* He sends Key a message, since she's in month 8 of her pregnancy
<Sera> Peter> "So we close off the sexatorium?" *he raises a brow in his joke*
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei looks over and smiles at Umi, patting her head and takin a drink
<DeathStar> <John> We have one of those?
<DeathStar> 6* John squints
<Sera> Peter> "...Maybe?"
<DeathStar> <John> This place is too big
<kalonZombee> <Hale> ...You can't prove anything. Either of you.
<DeathStar> 6* John shakes his head, taking a drink from Umi as he heads back to his office
<Sera> <Tabetha> <Gonna make the most awesome of booms.>
<Nyaomi> 6Key responds in agitated gibberish-- then asks for ice cream and bananas
<Sera> Peter> "I wouldn't be shocked if there's things going on in this place we have no clue about... we should really do a full sweep."
<DeathStar> <John> Last night I Caught kids in the tombs under the base again. We need to seal them in case terrorists plant bombs under us
<Sera> Peter> "Guess we're in agreement."
<kalonZombee> <Hale> I'll get a team on it.
<kalonZombee> 6*Subufu walks by wearing an old papal robe
<Sera> Peter> "Righto... I've half been banking on Tabetha having one of her nightmares to warn us if anything goes wron--- Where did that kid get that?"
<Chainy> 6*Iku wobbles after with the hat
<DeathStar> <John> How did the kids get into a high tech base?
<DeathStar> <John> I said the kids were due soon, not now
<Chainy> 6*Iku opens a fox hole and hops in
<Sera> Peter> "One is Kumiko an Ash's, the other Miyuki's."
<kalonZombee> <Hale> It's Subufu. I wouldn't doubt her ability to break into an Illium base, let alone here.
<kalonZombee> 6*Subufu follows
<Sera> Peter> "And there we go... we should probably work out measures on Ripples and Foxholes."
<DeathStar> <John> Right. Mental note, we need to get foxhole barriers up in case the Kitsune revolt.
<kalonZombee> <Hale> Also will get a team on that.
<Sera> Peter> "We had all this stuff set in the mountain."
<DeathStar> <John> But iwth the size and scope of it, it's not like the old base where Cheryl could do it easilty
<Chainy> <Umi> but dont they both help you in situations where we need to escape and not be seen?
<DeathStar> <John> The catholics like their vatican big
<DeathStar> <John> Then we drop it
<DeathStar> <John> Like Cheryl always did
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *steps up to John in uniform and salutes* "Josephine Carlisle, reporting for duty."
<DeathStar> <John> But do you want a Midori 2.0 coming in and causing havoic?
<Sera> Peter> "Perhaps detection systems with a wider range and localize the protections?"
<DeathStar> <John> Or an Alternatre Reality version?
<Sera> Peter> "Or Kasha getting into the food supplies?"
<DeathStar> 6* John salutes back. "Hey, Jose."
<Sera> Peter> "...Again"
<kalonZombee> 6*Hale salutes back
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei does test screenings on her computer
<Sera> * Tabetha floats large pieces together and attaches them to her experiment.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> With the catacombs and the scope of the palace, there will likely be holes no matter what we do
<DeathStar> <John> Just do the critical areas
<Sera> Peter> "That's easy, after we set things up, keep an eye on the kids. They'll find what we miss."
<Sera> Peter> "They always do."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Still shacked up here? I think it would be a good idea to move to a base that isn't in the middle of a world heritage site that is in the middle of one of the densest urban areas on the planet."
<DeathStar> <John> It's where the government wants us - and I have to admit the population in the small city outside in the vatican area is happy
<kalonZombee> <Hale> I like living here. It's nice.
<DeathStar> <John> *he motions Jose out onto the balcony the old Pope used* Homes under real skies seems to have helped morale
<Sera> Peter> "We're still waiting for our one in Siberia to be allowed back open. Though everyone together isn't such a bad thing."
<DeathStar> <John> I've ordered a shield generator though
<DeathStar> <John> This site is too easily bombed.
<Sera> Tabetha> <Always get a backup one. They always take out the generator first in the movies."
<Sera> >
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "And tunneled under. The catacombs have catacombs."
<DeathStar> <John> Well, it seems you have a job to focus on Josephine
<DeathStar> 6* He smirks
<DeathStar> 6* He squints down at "Dawn" leading a class with other teachers and likely JAmes, toward the base. Taiga is walking along, looking out of it, arms crossed
<Sera> Peter> "Luckily that makes them a labyrinth too."
<kalonZombee> <Hale> Yup.
<DeathStar> <John> Kids.
<DeathStar> <John> Who wants them?
<Sera> * Si bounces along after Taiga.
<DeathStar> 6* Morrigan looks up at the Vatican, all ooooh, clearly curious what the towering building is
<kalonZombee> <Hale> They're nice.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Lucky me. And they don't need to navigate the catacombs... one bomb would domino effect and turn this entire area into a giant sinkhole."
<Sera> * Si bounces in more ways than one. Michelle is walking along a bit shyly.
<DeathStar> <John> I meant who wants to be tour guide
<Aqua> *James walks with his class, talking about the history
<kalonZombee> 6*Mal walks along as well, but Gor, being homeschooled, isn't there
<Chainy> 6*Kitty walks with James's class
<Sera> Peter> "I suppose if everyone's busy securing the base I can do it."
<Aqua> *Jade holds Kitty's hand
<Chainy> 6*Mitsu, Ros walk with them as well
<Chainy> 6*Kitty smiles
<kalonZombee> 6*Xander holds Kitty's other hand
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga studies the building quietly, noticing other schools there as well.
<Sera> Peter> "Just remember to lock up the sexatorium."
* AquaKoala has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 186 seconds)
<DeathStar> 6* Mute and Butterfly move along, Butterfly talking to no one there
<Aqua> Del> Just finished that
<Sera> * Peter gets up and adjusts his uniform.
<DeathStar> <John> *just squints*
<Aqua> *Jade smiles and waves to Butterfly
<DeathStar> <John> Do we seriously have such a room
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei checks various scanners trying to pick up Asteroid C
<Sera> Peter> "Maybe. But we should lock up the strip club."
<Aqua> Del> No.
<DeathStar> 6* Butterly waves back
<Sera> * Peter moves along to meet the kids.
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 190 seconds)
<kalonZombee> 6*Hale lets him
<kalonZombee> <Hale> Good luck, Pete.
* Jackieness has joined #Session416
<DeathStar> 6* John moves back to his office after giving Josephine the schematics of the tunnels and Hale and a team
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga walks up to the front door with Butterfly, Morrigan, and others. WAiting on it to open
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> This is kind of boring..
<Sera> * Peter opens up and smiles. "Hey kids."
<Nyaomi> 6Ouka looks at Peter
<Sera> * Michelle shifts a bit to hide.
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Okay, now it's boring and creepy. Does he look like a creeper to you?
<kalonZombee> <Mal> Hey Mr. Sullivan
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> That even sounds creepy-like
<Sera> Peter> "I'm General Sullivan. I'll be giving you the tour."
<Sera> Michelle> "Th-That's my dad." *she whispers*
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> I'm sorry
<Chainy> 6*Kitty and Chains chars give Ouka a look
<Aqua> *James looms by Ouka
<Nyaomi> 6Ouka instantly looks the other way, rubbing her head
<Chainy> <Kitty> idiot
<Chainy> 6*Kitty then looks towards Peter
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga looks at Peter, then James
<DeathStar> 6* Clearly comparing Peter to James, her ideal of a creeper
<Chainy> 6*Mitsu pinches Taiga
<Aqua> *James looks nothing like Peter
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The General looks normal to meEEEEE!
<Sera> Peter> "If you'll all follow me, we'll start with the entryway... this used to be the Vatican of course." *he moves along, perhaps not shockingly well versed in Bible stuff, having started in Cheryl's Unit as the new Paladin.
<Chainy> <Mitsu> you behave too
<DeathStar> 6* "Dawn" yawns and walks along with his book, reading
<Aqua> *Jade follows, listening
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga walks along, arms crossed. Morrigatn follows
<DeathStar> >Morrigan> Did you guys take it over to set up Ama and Cheryl as new gods?
<Chainy> 6*Kitty follows, knowing most of this since this is some of the stuff she was brought up on, as does Ros and the lone Nue
<DeathStar> 6* Morrigan asks innocently, hand in ahnd with Rose
<DeathStar> *Ros
<Chainy> <Ros> no, its a seperate religion
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei hands Josephine the keys to the elevator to the tunnels
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Here you go
<Sera> Peter> "Ah... no. It was just largely abandoned and easy to purchase when things like living gods kind of defied most religious teachings."
<Nyaomi> 6Jem walks timidly along behind Mitsu
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Yay, me." *walks off*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Isn't it true they set up their own planet to get away from all the invading gods?
<Chainy> 6*Kitty waves Jem to walk with her posse
<Sera> * Si looks around, bouncing along. Michelle mincing shyly still.
<Nyaomi> 6Jem blinks and hurries over
<Chainy> <Ros> no
<DeathStar> 6* Mute holds a blanket
<Sera> Peter> "There was talk about that, there's a few holdouts in the PAX as well... despite the Gods living there."
<DeathStar> >Taiga> So they juset set up their new planet to get away from aliens
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga makes a face
<DeathStar> 6* Since the Catholics have had their own planet for years now, before Ama's return - though those with rewritten memories wouldn't know that
<DeathStar> 6* The blanket seems to be Eluere's
<DeathStar> 6* Butterfly chatters to Jade about life as Reno's apprentice
<Aqua> *Jade listens happily
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga studies things in the hallway, slowing down as she walks and becoming less talkative
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ...
<Sera> Peter> "And here we have our entryway facilities, you kids have a pass to be here today.
<DeathStar> 6* She glances at the other school's students - some Catholic, some ordinary schools
<Sera> * Si blinks and looks at Taiga. "You okay?" *she whispers*
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *changes intoa more practicla jumpsuit and then goes to assemble her team to deal with the lower reaches*
<Chainy> 6*Kitty raises her hand
<Sera> Peter> "Yes, Ms. Giblin?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .... *She staggers against a wall*
<Sera> * Si blinks and pokes Taiga. "Fuuu?"
<DeathStar> 6* As Josephine gathers her team with Hale, she would see it bright eyed rookies
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I--
<Aqua> *James blinks and moves over to Taiga "Are you okay Taiga?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *looks like she might be having dry heaves* Already?
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Taiga..?
<Sera> * Si blinks and pats her. "Taigy...?"
<DeathStar> 6* Morrigan looks at Taiga
<Aqua> *James blinks and waves over a female teacher
<Sera> * Peter glances at Kitty.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Um, can I go to the bathroom, Principal?
<Chainy> <Kitty> Isnt this the same location where Pope Alexander VI held the race during the 15th century
<DeathStar> 6* Aya moves over to James
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...who are these guys?" *to Hale*
<Aqua> *james nods "Aya, can you take taiga to a bathroom?"
<Sera> Peter> "Most likely."
<Chainy> 6*Kitty adjusts her glasses
<kalonZombee> 6*Hale blinks
<kalonZombee> <Hale> No clue.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods and leads Taiga to the bathroom
<Aqua> Del> Those are bright eyed rookies
<Sera> * Si frowns a bit worriedly.
<Sera> * Peter starts leading them on towards the training facility. "This is where our bright eyed rookies get trained up."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Rookies. Have you guys at least been to boot camp?"
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga leans over and throws up in a toilet
<Aqua> James> Well, at least she isnt far from home if something is serious *James rubs his head
<Aqua> *Jade looks over at it
<DeathStar> <Rookie 1> I was part of an elite squadron ma'am. 6* He lists his achievements of various high ranking squadrons
<kalonZombee> <Hale> Sounds like me.
<Aqua> Del> Rookies comparatively Josephine.
<Chainy> 6*Kitty looks about at the different relics and such
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga then washes her face. Morrigan heads into the bathroom discreetly
<DeathStar> 6* Butterfly and Mute walk along, with the class.
<Nyaomi> 6Ouka simply walks off to check on Taiga
<Sera> * Si frowns a little and fixes her ears, she begins looking more at the other students more than the relics. Wondering what Taiga noticed. Peter meanwhile keeps showing them along, letting them look at training through a viewing window.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga looks up at Ouka and Morrigan
<Aqua> *Jade eyes Si and looks around
<DeathStar> 6* Aya raises a brow at Ouka and Morrigan going in, taking notes
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Ok, I can work with that. Our mission is to go bottomside and start mapping the tunnels, ID'ing the weak points, and then come up with a plan of action to shore up the weak points and close off the security gaps, understood?""
<Chainy> <Kitty> you ok Si?
<DeathStar> 6* The squad nods
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> What's wrong, Taiga?
<Sera> Si> "Just noticed she was looking at kids from other schools before she got sick..."
<kalonZombee> <Hale> We're going to split up. Half of you with Jose, half of you with me.
<Chainy> <Kitty> I'm sure she'll tell us if she sensed something..
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This is it
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga looks shaky
<DeathStar> <Taiga> All this time and I lose my cool
<Sera> Si> "She will... but if whatever it is happens before she gets back... we should just watch out."
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga checks and slips her gauntlet on and slides it on, making it look kiddy like with the happy cat face
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> What's it.?
<Chainy> 6*Kitty nods
<Aqua> *Jade does as well
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The war I've been trying to get us ready for. My dreams always begin in a hallway with a lot of kids, many I don't recognize due to their uniforms
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And a lot of blood
<Sera> * Peter continues along after they all get a look, heading for the lounge and cafeteria, he seems to be taking his time.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I realize now it's this place
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "You will be taking your sidearms in case we run into trouble, including but not limited to terrorists plotting a sneak attack, sewer mutants, and undead Roman legionaires. Do not discharge said firearm unless an iminent threat to the safety of you or your squadmates."
<Chainy> 6*Kitty squeezes Jade's hand
<kalonZombee> <Hale> We'll meet back here in five hours. Keep your radios open at all time, keep chit chat to a minimum.
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> ... Is that so.." 6she frowns
<Nyaomi> 6Ouka slips her gauntlet on as well, her bundled sword on her shoulder.
<Sera> * Si keeps her cool, but seems to unfocus in her eyes for a second before regaining her look, peering around.
<Chainy> 6*Mitsu pets Si's head
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "And keep track of where you are. Maintain situational awareness at all times. The place is very old and you may run into environmental hazards."
<DeathStar> 6* They salute Josephine, though many eye each other
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga slips back out
<Chainy> <Mitsu> if you need help, you can ask me 6*she gives a reassuring, almost sisterly smile
<kalonZombee> <Hale> Questions or concerns anyone?
<Sera> * Si fuus a little. "I'm alright... I was just accessing a protocol."
<DeathStar> 6* Trying to catch back out. Morrigan seems to be thinking hard
<DeathStar> <Group> No sir!
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Soldiers, that includes you eyeing each other."
<Chainy> 6*Ros blinks
<DeathStar> 6* One girl from another school speaks up to Peter
<DeathStar> <Girl> Will we get to see where the Pope lived?
<DeathStar> 6* She refers to the HQ base location above
<kalonZombee> <Hale> Good. Left half, with me, right half with Josephine
<DeathStar> 6* Butterfly shivers a little looking scared
<Chainy> 6*Ros gently tugs on the present zodiacs
<Sera> * Peter looks over at her. "His chambers? I'm sure we can make a stop, it's nearby where his office was, now used by the leader of our group here."
<DeathStar> 6* Mute stifens
<kalonZombee> 6*Xander looks at Ros
<DeathStar> 6* The girls in the school look excited like teenagers and young girls can.
<Chainy> <Ros> move to the back 6*she mouths
<Nyaomi> 6Ouka sticks close to Taiga quietly
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga moves to rejoin, coming up toward the back. Aya follows, giving Ouka and Morrigan a look
<kalonZombee> 6*Xander starts to slowly slip to the back
<Chainy> 6*Kitty does as well
<DeathStar> 6* Ako and Iko meanwhile aren't with the group since they are elementary
<DeathStar> 6* And are having nap time
<Aqua> *Jade blinks and starts to, tugging Butterfly with her gently
<Chainy> 6*hence why I said the ones who are present
<Aqua> Jade> Something wrong? *She looks at Butterfly
<Sera> * Si and Michelle start drfting back with the others as Peter shows them the recreational facility. "We can't show all the labs, but we have some manufacturing observation windows."
<DeathStar> 6* The squads move down into the cold dank catacombs, caskets of the old holy men left behind in the ancient paths
<DeathStar> <Butterfly> I-I-I--
<DeathStar> 6* Small faces press against the windows, most of them
<Chainy> 6*Ros whispers to them whats eating Taiga
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga arrives finally
<Aqua> *Jade rubs her back
<DeathStar> 6* Morrigan gets there
<DeathStar> <Butterfly> I thought I recognized a voice
<Sera> * Si looks at Taiga curiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Hale's team follows him along, though they hear sounds up ahead; Josephine meanwhile sees all clear
<Aqua> *James moves over to Taiga and the Zodiacs "Should I be ready for something? " *He whispers
<Chainy> 6*Kitty looks at Taiga
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *leads her troop forward*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *looks at James* I don't know if it's an attack on EarthGov's group or something we need to deal with. I just know there's going to be a lot of death soon, and the adults will be too busy with it to deal with what we have to deal. I'm positive the Arcana is here.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Or will be
<Chainy> <Kitty> we can handle it Taiga, we have an advantage now
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga eyes the faces
<Aqua> *James nods and starts to text Marshall
<Sera> Si> "Arcana... could they be among the other schools...?"
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Yep. There's only one thing most of us lack
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Real experience with death.
<DeathStar> <Morrigan> Death..?
<DeathStar> 6* She tilts herh ead cluelessly
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> When people stop working.
<Nyaomi> 6Ouka peers at Kitty. 1"You can kill for Jade, right?"
<Sera> * Peter brings them by reinforced windows looking out on a construction yard for vehicles and ships.
<DeathStar> 6* As Josephine moves along, she would see that an entrance looks like it's been pried open a little by kids
<Chainy> 6*Kitty makes a face at Ouka but turns ahead
<Chainy> <Kitty> thats assuming it escalates that far
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> 'there's going to be lots of death'
<DeathStar> 6* Hale's forces move along toward the noises, scanning ahead with their loights, taking the initiative to shield Hale
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "*nods ahead* "Let's check that out."
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> You don't think we'll have to eventually?
<kalonZombee> 6*Hale holds up his hand to stop his squad
<Chainy> <Kitty> I think that nothing is ever certain
<DeathStar> 6* The squad pauses - in the distance the sounds continue. A soft noise
<kalonZombee> <Hale> You and you, check out ahead, slowly
<DeathStar> 6* The two move ahead
<Chainy> <Kitty> and wouldnt it be for the best to ensure theres as little death as possible, plus we shouldnt say that with so many kids around
<kalonZombee> 6*Hale waits for them to radio in the situation
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei up top is watching both sets of groups' cameras
<Chainy> 6*Kitty eyes the halls for fire alarms and such
<Sera> Michelle> "Should we war them...?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Josephine, ... have one of your men lean in close to that gate
<Aqua> *James also messages Peter
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *nods and points to one of them* "Get in close to that gate."
<Sera> * Peter eyes the message as he talks about the tanks.
<Chainy> 6*potentially like a chain reaction, Marshall messages Del before heading in
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei leans in to view the men's cameras as they reach waht appears to be a strange looking device, not a machine, but organic, like a person - a woman, that looks a lot like X with purpleish green hair. She turns and slashes trheir heads off and they go rolling. Lorelei immediately warns Hale
<kalonZombee> <Hale> Weapons out everyone. 6*He pulls out his rifle
<DeathStar> 6* As Josephine's men gets in, the gate seems to have been warped in a version of a ripple/foxhole, though not that, something more advanced, like a tear in space
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hale!!
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> A build up energy is forming
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Back up, back up
<Sera> * Peter frowns and at the same time sends Lore an automated message, set up a while ago, that something strange is up.
<kalonZombee> <Hale> Move back now!
<kalonZombee> 6*He starts backing up
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Hale's area explodes, and he is knocked unconscious
<Sera> Peter> "Alright kids, we're now checking out our emergency facilities."
<DeathStar> 6* The Vatican area shakes and the hallway below explodes, a gaping maw forms as students fall down into it
<DeathStar> 6* John jerks as their computers go offline, Josephine would hear the explosion behind her
<kalonZombee> 6*Xander floats as many as he can to safety
<Aqua> *Jade rushes about to save who she can
<DeathStar> 6* It sounds like a tear/rip of space type of explosion
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Lore, we have explosions going on down here!"
<Sera> * Peter curses in gailic and holds up a hand. "Teachers, get your students to the area beyond this, there's a safe room."
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga grabs kids.
<Sera> * Si grabs some kids and Michelle does too.
<kalonZombee> 6*Mal superspeeds to grab as many as he can
<Chainy> 6*Kitty ripples to assist, Mitsu using her fox holes, as Ros helps to keep look out
<DeathStar> i6* Morrigan snatches a few of the smaller ones; as the walls crack from age and areas of the ceiling collapse
<Sera> Si> <Gor! WE've got problems!>
<DeathStar> 6* Butterfly flaps and grabs people. Mute eyes a group of students who asked about the HQ gone - possiblely having fallen into the dark catacoms
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Dammit!
<kalonZombee> <Gor> <I'll see if I can get there> 6*He starts rushing for the teleporter, ready to mindhack it to the base if need be
<Sera> * Peter does his best to start ushering people to the next area, that should be reinforced for vehicle deplyment.
<DeathStar> 6* Alarms go off as steel doors fall down to protect the structure
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Tch..
<DeathStar> <Lorelei on comm> I know; Hale might be down - here's his location
<Chainy> 6*Mitsu turns and foxholes down
<DeathStar> <Lorelei on comm> We also have students falling down in that area. Save them!
<kalonZombee> 6*Xander still keeps TKing as many kids as he can to safety
<Sera> Peter> "We're workin on it!"
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei uses her reality powers, repairing electronic equipment
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Men, mission parameters have changed. We are conducting rescue operations now. Move out!" *heads for the student area*
<DeathStar> 6* Aya uses her powers, moving in a blur like chad and predicting trajectories
<Sera> * Tabetha comes running out of the labs before they sealm grabbing some jkids with TK,
<Chainy> <Kitty> how many more
<DeathStar> 6* She grabs kids as they fall, falling into the maw and throwing them up, spreading her legs and tossing them.
<Aqua> *Del catches some, panting from the run
<DeathStar> 6* Aya balances on a beam that juts out, tossing up a few that wre hanging until all that can be saved are
<DeathStar> 6* The male Dawn has gathered dozens in a corner
<Chainy> 6*Kitty ripples to Dawn
<DeathStar> 6* The team with Josephine move down in the catacombs, heading for Hale's area
<kalonZombee> 6*Mal and Xander send those they save to male Dawn
<kalonZombee> 6*Still working on saving those they can
<Aqua> *James gathers kids behind Dawn
<Sera> * Peter growls. <Vod, shit is going down, get who you can to safety and get the town on alert.>
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga pants, looking around; Aya climbs into the maw
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'll check to see if any are alive down in here
<DeathStar> <Aya> The rest of you get out
<Sera> Si> "Wh-What do we do Taigy?"
<DeathStar> l<Taiga> We need to find the Arcana
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Notice a whole group of kids are gone?
<Sera> Si> "They asked... about the Pope's chambers."
<DeathStar> <Morrigan> A lot fell in before we could get them
<DeathStar> <taiga> Yeah, a cover
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes parts of the ceiling fall as Dawn leads them out
<Sera> * Si nods. "They were interested in getting into HQ right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Vodka gathers her medical supplies and sends a notice out to parents with powers, who aren't at PAX/Asteroid C (See the Reality Strikers parents) and heads out
<Chainy> 6*Kitty reels and blasts it back away from Dawn
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Could those arcana kids we know find them?
<DeathStar> 6* "Dawn" salutes
* AquaKoala has joined #Session416
<DeathStar> 6* Then pulls out knives and moves like Fiore used to
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga eyes Butterfly and Mute
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets find out
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Prime - Asteroid C
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps his papers, well before the chaos at the Vatican has gone on, peering at the united groups of Red and Blue
<AquaKoala> *Kagu Jr yawns
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rocks her babies
<Nyaomi> 6Megumi hums for the newborns.
<Sera> * Angelos, Ulieah, Cameron, Alt. Lisa and Elayne, if they aren't on the mission, are there. Their player is trying to remember if any are but doesn't want to cause a time space continuum collapse.
<AquaKoala> *Alt. James sits with Alt. Marshall
<DeathStar> 6* While Curali, Aurica, John, Leviathan, and C. Katrina are there
<DeathStar> <Warren> Now clearly you aren't all going to be going on a rescue mission for Gold Team
<DeathStar> <Warren> But it's time for some updates.
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki sits upright and nods
<kalonZombee> 6*Pip and Ash nod
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at his papers.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Four days ago, Cheryl's team went on a recon mission to investigate the Illium Light Gate to their galaxy. From what we could tell from Alt Aya, Cheryl's team took initiate and went through the gate
<Sera> * Lisa sits as secretary
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki nods
<Sera> * Alt Lisa nods, eyes alight. "Maybe they found Erevis..."
<Chainy> <Miyuki> they have?
<Chainy> (scratch that
<Chainy> (derp
<DeathStar> <Warren> I am sure that partially was the reason for it, plus learning more about the enemy
<DeathStar> <Warren> In any event, the Interceptor is missing now
<DeathStar> <Warren> That leaves us with the Striker, built for reality jumps with the tarot cards and Miyuki's ship, and Airym's ship that was just finished
<DeathStar> <Warren> But one thing we do know is this - the Interceptor could not have done these things
<Sera> * Cameron fixes his glasses.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Because it lacks the tarot cards and ability to punch the barrier around the Trinity, Cheryl could not have left the trinity. So she is either in our reality, in classic, or in alternate still
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki leans back and closes her eyes, thinking
<DeathStar> <Warren> If the ywere overwhelmed upon going to the alternate reality's galaxy, I have come to only one conclusion
<DeathStar> <Warren> Besides their death
<Sera> * Angelos leans forward.
<Chainy> <Miyuki> either way, I'm going in after them
<DeathStar> <Warren> Cheryl retreated into either Classic or back to Prime, where the Illium - hopefully - do not have control of that galaxy. But since we do not have a Light Engine Ring to leap to that galaxy, the ship would be stranded 76,000 years away at hyperspace
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pops a pain pill and leans back, letting that sink in
<Sera> Cameron> "And no PAX2 to head there."
<DeathStar> <Curali> Was there a PAX2 in Alt?
<Sera> Alt Lisa> There was... and we took a different path than Prime's history indicates."
<DeathStar> <Curali> So it in operational or not?
<Sera> Alt Lisa> "It... was before I was captured... but I was among the first taken."
<DeathStar> 6* C. Katrina peers around
<Sera> Cameron> "Aya on Oracle would know."
<DeathStar> <C. Katrina> It seems to be we need to talk to their Aya
<DeathStar> *me
<DeathStar> <Warren> Very well. Then out of Blue and Red, a team will form to find out the fate of PAX2.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Volunteers?
<AquaKoala> James> Sure
<Sera> Elayne> "Sounds kind of like the ship we started out on."
<Chainy> <Marshall> I'll go
<Sera> * Elayne looks to John.
<DeathStar> 6* John shakes his head, rubbing his arm
<Sera> Elayne> "Might be the safer job, since he's neglected to say what the rest are doing."
<DeathStar> 6* Curali raises her hand, as does Aurica
<DeathStar> <John> You can go
<DeathStar> 6* He smiles
<Jackieness> <Airym> *voice from speaker* "Please forgive my lack of physical presence, though I have been listening to everything that has been said. But what exactly will the remaining group be doing?"
<kalonZombee> <Ash> I'll go.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *glances up* Right now, nothing. One group always remains behind in case of a crisis
<DeathStar> <Warren> Also, I want them to take your ship
<DeathStar> <Warren> We cannot risk the Enforcer
<Sera> Cameron> I'll go, as I understand it the alternate me largely performed work on that ship...I'll likely understand how it works."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I anticipated that request and have been preparing."
<Chainy> <Miyuki> I should go as well
<DeathStar> 6* Warren raises a brow at that, since both WArrens built PAX2
<Sera> Lisa> "There are systems hooked up to my old protocols and energies, so I'll go."
<Nyaomi> <Inari> ... I shouldn't go, huh?
<Nyaomi> <Inari> Miyukichan, what about my miko?
<DeathStar> 6* WArren eyes the folder from an Inari on the roster
<DeathStar> 6* Then does a gesture of what the fuck at Miyuki
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I have already fabricated a modular reality drive derived from the systems used on the Striker."
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki peers at Warren
<Chainy> <Miyuki> yes Warren?
<DeathStar> l6* Warren points at Inari
<Chainy> <Miyuki> I didnt bring her
<Sera> Elayne> "A lot of volunteers... from both teams."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls out his gun
<DeathStar> <Warren> So stowaway.
<Chainy> <Miyuki> that wont do anything but curse you
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr edges away
<Nyaomi> <Inari> Among those disappearing was the alternates of Miyukichan here, her sister, and the other half of Zeph. A kid of theirs popped out in this reality.
<Nyaomi> <Inari> It did pique my interest.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll see
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren aims at Inari without firing - yet.
<Sera> * LIsa sits back a little and hums a bit, red shield energy glowing a bit.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Miyuki, do you want her on your team?
<Chainy> <Miyuki> no
<Sera> * Alt Lisa peers away at that, only having a tactical suit that mimics her old power.
<AquaKoala> Kagu Jr.> She would be useless wouldn't she?
<Chainy> <Miyuki> if something happens there, its best we dont loose our own copies of the gods
<Nyaomi> 6Inari deadpans. 1"There was already a discrepancy about taking goddesses and gods between realities to begin with. That's why I offered my miko, not myself."
<Nyaomi> <Inari> That would mean Kasha.
<Chainy> <Miyuki> and Kasha would be better here
<DeathStar>  6* Warren puts the gun up
<Sera> Angelos> "Is it true that if I grope you food pops out?"
<Chainy> 6*somewhat true
<Nyaomi> <Inari> I wil end your existence.
<AquaKoala> Kagu Jr.> Worked on our Inari
<DeathStar> <Warren> Airym
<DeathStar> <Warrne> I need you on your ship
<DeathStar> <Warren> You know it better than I do
<Sera> * Angelos crackles a bit with some energy. "Honk honk babe."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Consider yourself on mission duty agin
<Chainy> <Miyuki> Gross
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Affirmative."
<Nyaomi> <Inari> I'm not joking, creep.
<Sera> Angelos> "I'm a living joke."
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki's ear twitch
<DeathStar> <Warren> Miyuki, if things go around, I'll bring in the final team
<Chainy> <Miyuki> more like an eyesore
<Nyaomi> <Inari> We agree on something.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren slides bullets out of his gun, putting in bullets labeled God Bullets
<kalonZombee> <Ash> That you are, Angelos.
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki nods to Warren
<DeathStar> <Warren> Now, everyone has to 5 to get out of here
<Sera> Angelos> "Harsh, my niece."
<DeathStar> 6* He cocks his gun
<Nyaomi> 6Inari peers at Miyuki. 1"... Just like you, taking it all on yourself."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr runs with the babes
<AquaKoala> *James moves off
<DeathStar> <Warren> 1.
<Nyaomi> 6Inari forms a foxhole, stepping through.
<DeathStar> 6* Curali and Aurica go
<Sera> * Angelos vanishes. Sera's people scamper.
<DeathStar> <Warren> 2.
<AquaKoala> *Kagu floats off, yawning and drinking his coffee
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki follows Inari
<Sera> * Lisa waits outside the door, shielded.
<DeathStar> 6* WArren sips his tea after they go
<Chainy> 6*Marshall follows James
<DeathStar> 6* Ben peers in
<Nyaomi> 6Megumi moves a chess piece. 1"Checkmate, Warren."
<DeathStar> <Ben> Peopole sills, Dad
<Nyaomi> 6Megumi runs after Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren fires a different gun at Megumi's ass, leaving paint all over
<DeathStar> <Warren> 5.
<kalonZombee> 6*Ash heads with the rescue team
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Oracle Planet
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks up as they all arrive via the hallway as Airym preps the ship
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica and Curali move over
<DeathStar> 6* Alt Aya moves over, as Alt Isis peers over
<AquaKoala> *James waves
<Sera> * Alt Angela waves and Eclair hops out to greet them all.
<DeathStar> <A. Aya> Hello everyone, welcome back. I'm afraid we haven't heard anything
<DeathStar> 6* Referring to the missing team
<Sera> * Alt Lisa and Cameron step out and peer around.
<Sera> Cameron> "We're actually here to look for something else that might help."
<kalonZombee> 6*Ash moves over
<Sera> Cameron> "Is the PAX2 still in one piece, by chance?"
<DeathStar> 6* Alt Aya b links
<DeathStar> <A. Aya> I think that was destroyed in one of the battles 15 years ago, but let me look
<DeathStar> 6* She moves to the computer room, peering at Myria doing weird things to the computers
<DeathStar> (er not 15)
<Jackieness> <Myria> *tap tap tap tap*
<DeathStar> (Maybe so, hm)
<AquaKoala> *Mars stands by Myria, helping her do weird things, waving to her father
<DeathStar> 6* C. Erevis seems to be debating something off to one side
<Sera> Alt Lisa> I remember it being whole before I was captured...
<DeathStar> 6* A. Aya runs searches on the name and databanks. Aurica and Curali off to one side
<Jackieness> <Myria> "And there... we... go!" *hits a key with a dramatic flourish*
<Chainy> 6*Ama appears infront of James
<Sera> * Eclaire hops over to Erevis and waves. "How's Erevis Goddess today?"
<AquaKoala> *James blinks and smiles
<DeathStar> <Aya> Hm, I might be remembering it wrong but I thought it was used as a dramatic missile
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huh... wasn't supposed to summon a booby lady..."
<DeathStar> <C. Erevis> *loks pleased at the attention* I do not feel like enough worship me
<Chainy> <Ama> becareful while youre away James
<AquaKoala> James> I always am
<Chainy> 6*she cups his face and kisses his forehead
<Sera> Cameron> "In short we need a ship capable of going far, far out into the reaches of space."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya finally brings up data on PAX2 - status destroyed
<Sera> * Alt Lisa looks crestfallen.
<kalonZombee> <Ash> Well one question answered.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Here we are - though the scraps and remains of it were put away in storage
<Chainy> <Ama> I know but remember you have your family to come home to
<DeathStar> <Aya> It's possible the Light Engines on it are intact
<Sera> Cameron> "That would be a good start."
<Sera> Eclaire> Want me to worship you?
<AquaKoala> *James nods
<DeathStar> <C. Erevis> Hm. *She studies Eclaire* I suppose you could be worthy
<Sera> * Eclaire twirls. "Lemon and Angela are my mommas!"
<DeathStar> 6* A. Aya brings u pthe storage location outside Myria's lab and moves along
<DeathStar> 6* Curali and Aurica follow, Aurica looking a little quiet and tight lipped
<Chainy> 6*Ama hugs him before turning to go
<DeathStar> <C. Erevis> Then you shall be my miko
<Sera> * Cameron and Lisa follow. Angela gets up and follows too.
<Sera> Eclaire> "Cool!"
<DeathStar> 6* She rises nude and motions Eclaire to follow her around
<Sera> * Eclaire follows.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya tries to open a large warehouse's doors
<DeathStar> 6* Straining
<AquaKoala> *James moves over and helps her
<Sera> * Lisa walks over and helps, stronger than she looks, or helped by the tact suit
<DeathStar> 6* The doors finally slide open and inside are scraps and pieces of the ancient 2 square mile long ship, filling the huge warehouse
<AquaKoala> *James blinks
<DeathStar> 6* In the middle are huge engine components
<DeathStar> 6* Larger than Airym's ship
<Sera> Cameron> "Looks like a lot of it... we may be able to salvage it. If I remember it was Winters and Bennet who worked out how to make it work off Dr. Light's blueprints."
<DeathStar> <A. Aya> If I recall, the size was due to PAX's size.
<DeathStar> <A. Aya> What you need is actually the core of the engine
<Sera> Cameron> "Hrm, yes, we shouldn't need one this big on the Interceptor."
<DeathStar> (Airym's ship is unnamed)
<Sera> * The Airym Ship
<DeathStar> -Spinning Breasts-
<Nyaomi> 6When Ama returns, the Ainari is heard sniffling and sobbing
<DeathStar> 6* After they get back to the hanger, having spent a good part of the morning getting a large core and parts inside, and Airym hooking it up, the ship is finally accepting the Light Engine components, albeit shakily. There is some rejection to Airym's ship as they get onboard.
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica walsk along the bridge, examining it, and Curali moves to the pilot seat
<Sera> Cameron> "Hmm, this could be problematic until we can fully adapt it."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Welcome aboard. Each bridge station is configurable with solid-sate light consoles."
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren, in his office as they prepare to go, eyes the school situation begin as Miyu's group is boarding, frowning
<DeathStar> 6* He flicks the report off
<DeathStar> <Curali> What do you call this ship?
<AquaKoala> *James sits in a weapons sear
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica takes a passenger seat
<AquaKoala> *seat
<Sera> * Lisa frowns. "If it spreads to the city..." *she bites her lower lip*
<Chainy> 6*Miyu sits in captain's chair
<Jackieness> <Airym> *steps out on to the bridge, sporting a modified body without the seam lines* "This is the Avenger."
<DeathStar> <Warren> They can handle it - if not we have people here we can send down
<DeathStar> <Warren> Do not let those leaving know and worry needlessly
<Sera> * Lisa nods, likely nervous since her folks in law live there.
<DeathStar> 6* Curali flies them out of the hanger
<Sera> * Cameron takes a seat on the bridge, while Alt Lisa paces.
<DeathStar> <Curali> Okay, Miyuki - do you want to follow Warren's thinking and search the other galaxy in our reality first, or search in Alt's or Class's?
<DeathStar> 6* Referring to Warren thinking that Cheryl might try to leap out of Alt into Class or PRime
<DeathStar> 6* But be stuck in the other galaxy due to lack of the Gate
<Chainy> <Miyuki> theres no sense in not checking here while we can
<Sera> Cameron> "Hrm, yes. Plus we'll get an instant idea of how far the Illium have progressed in our reality."
<DeathStar> 6* Curali tries to connect to the Light Engine, getting an error
<DeathStar> <Aurica> That's a good point
<DeathStar> <Aurica> We know that the Illiums have made headway in our reality and Alt's.
<DeathStar> <Aurica> What if they went to Class?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "There are still integration issues with the technology."
<Sera> * Cameron looks over the error. "Seems so... let's see if we can jury rig it."
<DeathStar> 6* Curali thumps her fist and gets a green, and begins to spool the engines
<DeathStar> <Curali> Got it this time
<DeathStar> <Curali> Leaping to Delta Quadrant in our reality in 5.
<DeathStar> <Curali> 4.
<DeathStar> <Curali> 3.
<Sera> * Cameron pulls up engineering and nods, he pulls up a copy of the OS and starts working on a bridge code in case they need it later
<DeathStar> <Curali> 2.
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki reclines a bit
<DeathStar> <Curali> 1.
<DeathStar> <Curali> Now.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship jumps into a strange hyperspaceish tube, but it's a strange bright light
<DeathStar> 6* And everything jerks and jumps about, systems getting hot and everyone's heads getting dizzy
<kalonZombee> 6*Ash shakes his head
<Chainy> <Miyuki> what the fuck!
<Sera> Alt Lisa> "Always haaaaaaate this paaaaart."
<DeathStar> 6 *For a moment they phase out of reality Miyuki can feel then phase back in - apparantly the Light Engine exiting reality then back in to appear far awasty
<DeathStar> 6* And as they come back in, they can see Illium Vessels all around - high tech versions of hwat they've fought
<Sera> Cameron> "Well. Shit."
<DeathStar> 6* The sleek designs turn and hyperspace beams begin to light up and target
<Sera> Alt Lisa> Evaaaade!
<DeathStar> 6* Curali tries evasive, but the hyperspace hits them as they go from Light Engine to normal and sears
<AquaKoala> *James makes a face and starts trying to target
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The Avenger is designed for high maneuverability. I advise you use it."
<Sera> Cameron> "That... is going to take a bit to fix." *he says in annoyance*
<DeathStar> 6* Areas shimmer as more appear, as if they are appearing out of hyperspace lanes
<DeathStar> 6* And are using hyperspace to surround and out do them. Curali uses the Avenger's mobility, just barely about to keep from taking critical hits
<DeathStar> 6* James' locks onto one
<Chainy> <Miyuki> how the fuck are they getting in
<Sera> * Cameron pulls up shields and Lisa joins helping with shots.
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Scanners are showing they are literally using hyperspace to travel instantly from far away
<Jackieness> <Airym> "they are using advanced hyperspace technology."
<AquaKoala> *James fires
<DeathStar> <Aurica> I don't even know if mom closing the lanes like she did one time could stop them
<Sera> Cameron> "Progenitors?"
<DeathStar> 6* James' blast damages them a little and Aurica leaps away, flying, as more chase
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica runs a scan and looks up
<AquaKoala> *James fires everything he can
<DeathStar> <Aurica> I do not detect the Interceptor anywhere within anyh sector nearby
<kalonZombee> <Ash> Woah James, your wife complain about you shooting everything you've got at once?
<Sera> Cameron> "Maybe we want to try Classic then."
<DeathStar> 6* James manages to send one spinning away, temporarily disabled, as 8 more come in
<DeathStar> 6* Another blast hits them and lights blink
<Sera> * Lisa fires at one of them, aiming at cannons.
<DeathStar> 6* The Light Engines begin to lose energy needed to spool up, being energy hogs
<Sera> * Cameorn tries to maintain the shields. "Whatever we do, we need to do it now."
<DeathStar> <Curali> We can either fight or run but not both. The Light Engines are bitches
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Please focus on evasion and not engage in combat."
<Sera> Cameron> We seem outclassed."
<kalonZombee> <Ash> I vote run.
<AquaKoala> James> runrunrunrunrun
<Chainy> <Miyuki> evade and look for an opening
<Sera> * Lisa roars in anger.
<DeathStar> 6* Curali begins to boost ahead, another blast hitting them, sending them flying toward a nebula
<DeathStar> <Curali> I think I lost controls - Airym?!
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Classic
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina walks along, her top off with a bra showing, red lights still on, but repairs mostly done
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think I got shields and weapons back
<Sera> * Wolf peers up from her work on the power stabilizers. "Lookin okay here too."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is still unconscious, head wound mostly healed, and A. Erevis is on the bridge, her hand badly burnt still, bandaged up, her hair still sizzled. She taps a button and brings shields up and the lights flick to normal
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Then we did it. We should be able to boost normally but avoid hyperspace
<DeathStar> 6* Ao is still being monitored, havingbeen waking in and out of unconsciousness the last two days
<Sera> Wolf> "Still leaves us stranded in the middle of Podunk, Nowheresville."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I told you it was risky
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But I preferred no Illiums to many
<Sera> Wolf> "Can we get another reality jump?"
<AquaKoala> *Teddy lies on the floor, still damaged
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It might blow the systems out again, but maybe; but go where, back to Alt? To Prime which might be empty too?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits in her chair, patting Alt Kasha
<DeathStar> 6* Baky trembles in a corner, traumatized
<Sera> Wolf> "Alts a bad idea... Prime maybe... they have to have started looking for us somehow though. We don't let a mission go this long without checkin."
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta finishes Teddy's new core
<Nyaomi> <Mem> What's wrong, baker girl?
<Sera> Wolf> "But it could be a waste... well fuck."
<DeathStar> 6* And hits the on button
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> I hope I got this right - I'm not Seraphim
<DeathStar> *Seraphna
<Jackieness> <XX> *stripped down to a sports bra* "Well, do something then."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy hops up and looks around
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I picked this place on purpose.
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> Prime is where we were most likely to go
<DeathStar> <Katrina> The enemy might be looking for us too
<Sera> Wolf> "True... now my next question... what else could be out in Wind's reality? Is there a possibility or some alien junk planet where we'll get a new ship?"
<Jackieness> <XX> "The Bot World?"
<Sera> Wolf> "Right, you already have that stereotype. Super advanced race of species once mistaken for Norse Gods?"
<AquaKoala> *Teddy speaks russian, looking at everyone
<Sera> Wolf> "That bear robot doesn't have a super powerful transciever we can call Seraphna's twin does it?"
<AquaKoala> Teddy> (russian intensifies)
<Sera> Wolf> "Someone switch him to british."
<Sera> * Wolf walks over and opens him up, eyeing hats, she pulls out a cowboy hat and puts it on him experimentally.
<AquaKoala> Teddy> *Russian russian russian boot up russian*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Great.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Anyway, we're in an unknown galaxy
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Probably 80,000 years on hyperspace - if we got THAT working - away from known space
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I could not BEGIN to imagine what is out here
<Sera> * Wolf frowns and pulls out her datapad, hooking it in and seeing what she can do about his language.
<Sera> Wolf> "Space wolves."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy dings "Dah, have transciever"
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the door opens, and Ao stumbles in, her red hair down to her feet. Erevis rises
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Sister?
<DeathStar> <Ao> Where...am...I?/
<Sera> Wolf> "There we go. Think it'll send out that far?"
<DeathStar> <Baky> I'm...
<AquaKoala> Teddy> In Space
<DeathStar> <Baky> I've been kidnapped...
<Sera> * Wolf peers over. "We rescued you from sparkling douchebags."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves over to her
<DeathStar> <Baky> I-I sparkle
<DeathStar> 6* Baky cries
<DeathStar> <Baky> You all hate me
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We are heading back home, Ao. *She hugs her* Back to Ama and the others
<DeathStar> 6* Ao leans on her and Erevis helps her into a chair
<Jackieness> <XX> "Way to go, genius."
<Sera> Wolf> But we didn't rescue her from you. Therefore you're not a douchebag.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy moves over and hands her Dr. Teddy "Am sorry"
<Sera> Wolf> "You're likely a cute baker who needs love. As my husband failed to show to mission, I will now elope with you."
<Nyaomi> <Mem> If I hated you I'd have left you there
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I can try to use my good arm to get us into hyperspace, but this far out I don't know hat to do
<DeathStar> 6* Baky takes the Dr. Teddy, eyeing Wolf like she's insane
<Sera> Wolf> "Grahh... and we lack one of those Light thingies."
<DeathStar> 6* Baky turns to Mem
<DeathStar> <Baky> So you're not all trying to kill Illiums?
<DeathStar> <Ao> I am
<DeathStar> 6* Ao notes hoarsely
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will
<DeathStar> 6* Baky cries
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Not all of them.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy pats her shoulder lightly
<Jackieness> <XX> They... they're ticked off because the were... you know.... yeah."
<DeathStar> 6* Baky studies them all like they might bite
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta goes to check on Cheryl, finding this all awkward
<Nyaomi> <Mem> Baky...
<DeathStar> 6* Stepping into the medical bay, she gives Cheryl a shot, and Cheryl opens her eyes
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ungh...
<Nyaomi> 6Mem picks Baky up and stakes her out of the main area
<Sera> Wolf> "Just the douchebag ones. Now... let's see... do we try to call someone? Hope for rescue by space wolves, or hope Hyperspace doesn't take too many years to get back."
<DeathStar> 6* Baky blinks
<Nyaomi> 6Chii is curled up on Cheryl in fox form
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Rosetta...? Chii...?
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, alarms begin to go off on the screen
<AquaKoala> *Teddy blinks and looks over
<Nyaomi> <Akasha> What now...
<Sera> Wolf> "Space wolves show up?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis and Ao peer as a robotic world approaches, but it's definitely not the Bot World
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *Sits forwarD* What the hell?
<Sera> Wolf> "Alien junk world!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tries to find reference in the Class data
<Sera> Wolf> "Why didn't I make a bet..." *she sniffles*
<Jackieness> <XX> "I would normally say Bot World... but its a different color."
<DeathStar> 6* The world looks less technological, even having some oceans
<DeathStar> 6* It stops before it can suck them in and suddenly they are hailed
<AquaKoala> *Teddy puts on his naval officers hat
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I can't find anything
<Sera> * Wolf answers it
<DeathStar> 6* A reploid's face appears, looking rather advanced. "Humans? This far out?" 6* He blinks. "Welcome to Roboticon." 6* Katrina gapes, since she thought that was the name of the Reploid Homeworld in the Classic databanks that the Bots took over more than 15 years ago
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Prime, Delta Quadrant
<DeathStar> 6* The Avenger spins into the nebula, and the sensors go out, but hopefully that means the enemy cannot scan or find them except by sight either
<DeathStar> 6* Curali tries to get controls back
<Chainy> <Miyuki> everyone brace yourself
<Sera> * Cameron works on keeping things going, while Lisa flails unhappily. "Bastards... IwontgobackIwont..."
<AquaKoala> *James braces
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica is thankful for artifcal gravity as they spin
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki grits her teeth trying to use any available power to help
<DeathStar> 6* Curali gets the controls suddenly, then waits, eyeing the charge go up on the light engines
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Compensating to restore helm."
<Sera> Cameron> "I think it safe to say they're not here, at least."
<DeathStar> <Curali> Okay, okay, yeah. Um, before I use this
<DeathStar> <Curali> Are there any dangerous - like in Earth's atmosphere - of using a Light Engine in a nebula?
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes the enemy vessels entering the nebula
<Sera> Cameron> "Yes."
<DeathStar> *Dangers
<kalonZombee> <Ash> Uhhh... yeah, apparently.
<DeathStar> l<Curali> ... Okay, doing it
<DeathStar> 6* Curali begins to spool it up
<DeathStar> <Aurica> HE JUST TOLD YOU IT WAS DANGEROUS
<DeathStar> <Curali> Yep. So I'm doing it
<Sera> Cameron> "They're giant clouds of gas, depending on the gas... it could be worse than an oxygen and nitrogen based atmo."
<DeathStar> <Curali> Airym?
<AquaKoala> James> Good, burn them up.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Hypothetically, it could be worse for the Illium if they do follow us in."
<DeathStar> <Curali> That's what I'm hoping for, but if I blow up our ship, forgive me, Airym. But I advice you boost our shields up
<Sera> Cameron> "It could also burn us up. Though as the Light Engine takes us TemporarilyOut of Phase..."
<DeathStar> <Curali> Some of the explosion will follow us
<DeathStar> <Curali> I'm just hoping the phasing out will protect us
<Sera> * Cameron nods and raises shields.
<DeathStar> 6* All 8 enemy vessels are in the nebula, none firing due to the nebula's gases, clearly trying to find and drag them out
<kalonZombee> <Ash> If we don't die, this is gonna be REALLY cool.
<Sera> Cameron> "Lisa, dear, use your suit to make an external backing when we go."
<AquaKoala> James> Super cool
<DeathStar> 6* Curali begins to reach the limit and can jump
<DeathStar> <Curali> If I recall, dad did this once
<Sera> * Lisa breathes, the lights on her suit turning on.
<DeathStar> <Curali> To blow up a planet's atmosphere to kill an enemy - he crashed naturally afterward due to the hyperspace backlash
<Sera> Cameron> "Let's hope you have his luck."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I am optimizing shields for directly behind us. The shield specs are based upon Illium technology."
<DeathStar> <Curali> But if we stay in space we might not crash
<Sera> Cameron> "If you crash us in space I'm giving Xanatos' title to you."
<DeathStar> 6* Curali hits the jump and they begihn to enter the tube of strange hyperspace light, behind them a huge explosion is heard. The nebula igniting
<Sera> * Lisa throws up a red shield behind the ship at a sliht distance so the engines don't chew it.
<DeathStar> 6* Sensors pick up the destruction of 7 vessels, and a damaged 8 flying out, as they begin to fly, and a huge inferno of exploding gas follows, hitting the shields and alarms wailing
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Fascinating. We have just initiated stellar ignition."
<DeathStar> 6* Curali counts down to the phase out of reality
<Sera> * LIsa cries out and her suit gdrains rapidly.
<kalonZombee> <Ash> Oh gods this is so awesome I hope we don't die!
<AquaKoala> *James braces
<DeathStar> 6* The shields begin to hit 0, then the hull heats up when they finally phase out
<DeathStar> 6* Appearing in Class and spinning rapidly like a hot tamale
<Sera> * Lisa falls over, her suit smoking.
<DeathStar> 6* A puff of fire shooting out over them
<Chainy> <Miyuki>...please tell me were still alive
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica silences alarms and Curali tries to get them under control. The Light Engines shut down permenantly
<kalonZombee> 6*Ash WHOOOOs on his back on the floor
<DeathStar> 6* Curali gets them to stop spinning
<Sera> * Cameron pulls out a book and starts chanting, making his own flame shield.
<DeathStar> <Curali> Alive, Captain
<kalonZombee> <Ash> I need to get kids JUST to tell THAT story
<Jackieness> <Airym> "And the data collected has been most valuable."
<Sera> Cameron> "Seems so..." *he closes the book* "Now... where are we?"
<DeathStar> <Curali> Delta Quadrant in Class
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Scanning nearby areas for ships
<Sera> Cameron> "I see a lack of Illium attempting to eat us... that's good."
<DeathStar> <Curali> Airym, I broke our Light Engines - hyou need to fix them
<DeathStar> 6* Curali squints at the engines overloaded
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki holds her face
<DeathStar> <Curali> H-Hey, I took out 8 of them! Eight!
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I can attempt to make repairs, though I cannot guarantee results."
<DeathStar> 6* Curali looks at Miyuki
<Sera> * Cameron sighs. "They look pretty beat up. We may need parts from somewhere."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "You also initiated star formation, Curali."
<Chainy> <Miyuki> I'll buy you dinner when we get gome
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica looks up
<Chainy> home^
<Sera> * Lisa mumbles from the floor.
<DeathStar> <Curali> That's good right?
<DeathStar> <Curali> Making stars
<Chainy> <Miyuki> yes
<DeathStar> <Curali> It's in my name
<DeathStar> <Aurica> A large mass of metal detected that is moving
<Sera> Cameron> "As long as it doesn't achieve sentience and turn out haunted with the souls of thousands of Illium in an exciting sequel, we should be fine."
<DeathStar> 6* She sends Curali the coordinates. Curali turns and flies them that way, boosting
<AquaKoala> James> Sounds like a shi[
<Chainy> <Miyuki> can we get a visual?
<DeathStar> <Curali> That happened once I think to Death Star. It was in his memoirs: The Cloud Babies of Garland Hinule
<DeathStar> <Curali> Good book
<Sera> Cameron> "You mean he spawned with something other than Seraphna?"
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I am pleased that we survived that encounter. I would be upset if my new sleek and sexy physical platform were destroyed."
<Sera> Cameron> "...Did you just refer to it as sexy?"
<Sera> Cameron> "How much time have you been spending with Angelos?"
<kalonZombee> <Ash> I would be upset if your sexy platform was destroyed too
<DeathStar> 6* A moment later, a giant robotic world, with some organic things like water and trees appears
<Sera> Cameron> "Airym.... friends of yours by chance?"
<Chainy> <Miyuki> holy fuck, is this Banjo and Kazooie Nuts and Bolts world
<kalonZombee> <Ash> ... What?
<Chainy> <Miyuki> shut up
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I am performing a databacnk search, but this is not the Bot World."
<DeathStar> <Curali> Should I blow it up?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "And yes, I referred to my physicla platform as sexy."
<DeathStar> <Aurica> *pats Airym*
<AquaKoala> James> No!
<DeathStar> <Curali> But I'm on a roll and it might be Illium!
<Sera> Lisa> "No..." *she sits up* "Could be our only ticket out of here."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I can assure you that it is not Illium technology."
<AquaKoala> James> Mayb-... No.
<DeathStar> 6* They are hailed
<Chainy> <Miyuki>....see whos hailing us
<Sera> * Cameron taps the comms.
<DeathStar> 6* A reploid male's face appears
<DeathStar> <Reploid> Oh my, MORE humans?
<kalonZombee> 6*Ask blinks
<Sera> Cameron> "A reploid, hello there. You've seen our friends have you?"
<DeathStar> <Reploid> How can I tell you are friends of the others?
<Sera> Cameron> "...As long as the other humans aren't hostile, then... have you seen our enemies?"
<Chainy> <Miyuki> No named Gruntilda right
<DeathStar> <Reploid> *he blinks at Miyuki*
<AquaKoala> James> Was one of them a bear?
<Chainy> <Miyuki> no that was the witch
<Sera> Cameron> "Did they have any angry blondes or red heads?"
<DeathStar> <Reploid> I am not sure I should tell you that. They came here seeking sanctuary
<Chainy> <Miyuki> and Banjo was the bear
<AquaKoala> James> A Russian Bear?
<DeathStar> <Reploid> And you might be "Illiums"
<kalonZombee> <Ash> Well the bear is my brother.
<kalonZombee> 6*Ash says, stepping into view
<Chainy> <Miyuki> we dont sparkle
<Sera> Cameron> "Maybe this will help... we aren't Illiums. I am Michah Cameron of the Reality Strikers.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Please inform them of our encounter with the Illium."
<DeathStar> 6* The reploid studies them, then Ash
<AquaKoala> James> Illiums are about 10 feet tall, blue and sparkley
<DeathStar> <Reploid> Hm. You all do look a little short
<Sera> Cameron> "And that there is a reploid."
<kalonZombee> <Ash> And lacking of sparkles.
<DeathStar> 6* The reploid gives them coordinates on the planet to dock
<AquaKoala> James> And shockingly not blue
<DeathStar> <Reploid> Feel free to dock there, Fellow Lesser Reploid
<kalonZombee> <Ash> ...Thank you.
<DeathStar> 6* The hail ends
<Chainy> <Miyuki> ...Thanks
<kalonZombee> <Ash> Lesser Reploid. I'll lesser his reploid.
<Sera> Cameron> "Well that's good. All I had left was being a 19th level Wizard."
<DeathStar> <Aurica> That sounded gay
<kalonZombee> <Ash> Right in his stupid face.
<DeathStar> <Curali> That sounded gayer
<AquaKoala> JAmes> That sounded gay to Miyu and she has sex with women.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Do not make me deploy Cones of Silence."
<Chainy> <Miyuki> we should leave them alone to court
<DeathStar> 6* Curali flies toward the planet
<Sera> Lisa> "My head hurts. Did I really come out of an alternate version of Cameron? And did Seraphna really make Ash this way on purpose?"
<kalonZombee> <Ash> Shut up. All of you.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Time reverse back
<DeathStar> 6* The damaged Interceptor docks in a complex of buildings and highways, like a high tech futureistic city, but this one has parks and things to remind the Reploids, it seems, of the past they left
<AquaKoala> *Teddy looks outside
<DeathStar> 6* Outside, reploids of all kinds - beast men reploids, humanoid males and females, etc, wait as the ramp lowers and Rosetta helps Cheryl down. Ao and Erevis follow carefully and then Katrina
<DeathStar> 6* Baky hides inside
<Sera> * Wolf peers around and nods at a reploid space wolf knowingly.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy pads outside
<DeathStar> 6* A reploid who looks a lot like X steps up
<DeathStar> <X Look Alike> Welcome to Roboticon.
<Sera> Wolf> "Whoa dejavufiles."
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> THank you for taking us in - we need repairs badly. <XAlike> We will see to it.
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Hallo
<Nyaomi> 6Mem stays with Baky-- just in case a misunderstanding occurs
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Am teddy
<DeathStar> 6* "X" smiles at Teddy. "Hello, fellow lesser reploid. Would you like upgrades while hyou are here?"
<Nyaomi> 6Akasha stays clinged to Katarina, still looking angry and bitter
<Sera> Wolf> "May I ask bluntly... how you all are here?"
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Dah, why am lesser reploid?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina carries Akasha along
<DeathStar> <X> You are a Mark 5. We are Mark 10s
<DeathStar> <X> We decided to make our planet moveable and explore unknown space to find peace
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Am bear
<Sera> Wolf> "Now I only studied a bit of this place's lingo... but a Mark 10? I... wow."
<DeathStar> 6* They lead them into a building that is styled after old cafes on Earth, getting them food
<AquaKoala> *Teddy follows
<Jackieness> <XX> *crosses her amrs* "And who are you supposed to be?"
<DeathStar> <X> I am X.
<Jackieness> <XX> *looks at him flatly*
<DeathStar> 6* He sits with them
<Sera> Wolf> "...The real one?"
<DeathStar> <X> *he blinks* There is another X?
<Jackieness> <XX> *starts to look frustrated*
<Sera> Wolf> "Because... it was reported that he died on Earth about 15 years ago."
<DeathStar> <X> I grew tired of fighting and after thei ncident in Siberia, I came here to make Roboticon. We had a close call with the Bots, but managed to make this place
<Sera> Wolf> "XX here is his sister unit. Or yours."
<DeathStar> 6* X peers at wolf at this, then at XX
<DeathStar> <X> I had no idea I had a sister unit.
<DeathStar> 6* He holds out his hand
<DeathStar> 6* The others are led up to the cafe as the talking goes on and food delivered
<Jackieness> <XX> "Yeah, hi." *awkwardly takes his hand* "Dr. Light is my daddy."
<Sera> Wolf> "She came out of a Dr. Light tube and everything, from what I've read on Seraphna's notes."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, looking drowsy since waking, peers over
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands up in surprise
<DeathStar> <X> I had no idea Dr. Light made others - Dr. Cain found me
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica grabs Cheryl in a tight hug, crying out and Cheryl pats her slowly
<Sera> Wolf> "They found her in a lab that was abandoned a while back. She came after probably, before your pod was buried.
<DeathStar> 6* Curali looks around all :O like
<DeathStar> <X> I wish I knew. I'm sorry, XX.
<DeathStar> 6* He looks apologetic
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Aurica...hey...
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica hugs Chiiscarf and Cheryl
<Sera> Wolf> "I kind of wonder... you see, the Hunters fought an X about 15 years ago and had to destroy him. He'd gone a little mad."
<DeathStar> <X> *looks grim at that*
<Jackieness> <XX> "Yeah... I was there. Family matter."
<DeathStar> <X> He must have been a copy of me
<DeathStar> <X> A Copy X perhaps
<Jackieness> <XX> "...Copy X?"
<DeathStar> 6* X steps over to greet Miyuki and the others
<Sera> Wolf> "He was sort of using Sigma as a control unit and wanted to make Siberia into a space ship to leave Earth before some bad stuff went down."
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki walks with her team
<AquaKoala> *James looks about
<Sera> Wolf> "Sigma's dead too, by the way."
<DeathStar> <X> Welcome to Roboticon. Your friends are here as you can see. *He motions at XX and Wolf*
<DeathStar> <X> As for Sigma, I'm sorry he could never change.
<AquaKoala> *James nods to Wolf
<Sera> Wolf> "That's the sad part, he did."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl offers Miyu a tired smile
<Sera> * Wolf nods back. Cameron peers about.
<DeathStar> <X> *Seems surprised and a little sad*
<Sera> * Lisa walks looking woosy.
<Jackieness> <XX> "...it was a copy all along? I seriously angsted over that! I was even more pissed off than usual becaus eof it!"
<Chainy> <Miyuki> you are so fucking grounded
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki whipcracks her tail
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Dah, XX was very upset
<DeathStar> <X> I need to se to the progress on your ships and if any reploid would like an upgrade to Mark 10, let me know. XX, if you would like to walk with me while I oversee the work?
<DeathStar> 6* He offers
<Sera> Cameron> "John and Elayne are going to be so pissed they sat out now."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy raises his hand
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sorry. At least we got their Ao and Erevis, and learned more
<Jackieness> <XX> "Y... yes."
<Sera> * LIsa goes running to Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* X nods and waves them to walk with him, pointing out sights
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Lisa - you seem to be bigger
<AquaKoala> *Teddy pads after him
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis notes
<Sera> * Lisa hugs onto her and cries a bit.
<AquaKoala> James> Can I get a hand that turns into a gun?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pats her back
<Jackieness> <XX> *walks along with X*
<DeathStar> 6* X eyes James a bit but nods once
<AquaKoala> James> But looks like a normal hand so my wife isn't angry
<Sera> Lisa> "I thought I lost you forever... they kept me away.... locked up..."
<Nyaomi> 6Akasha lets out a strangled noise when she sees Miyuki
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I know about that all too well
<DeathStar> 6* Ao sits to herself
<DeathStar> <Curali> Alt KAsha?
<Nyaomi> <Akasha> N... Nee.... neechan!?
<Sera> Lisa> "You're both alive... I'm so happy!"
<DeathStar> 6* Curali moves over to her
<Chainy> <Miyuki> huh
<Nyaomi> <Akasha> You're alive..!?
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki turns to look and well, A.Kasha knows the tails and tits are a dead give for not her exact sister
<DeathStar> 6* Curali seems to be trying to figure out how to approach a subject with her
<Nyaomi> 6Akasha squirms and goes to leap from Katrina like a cat wanting down
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina lets her go
<Nyaomi> 6Akasha freezes seeing the nineth tail
<Sera> * Cameron shakes his head a bit. "At least we may be able to get home now... we need to get a warning to Prime."
<DeathStar> l 6* Erevis sits with Lisa to talk
<DeathStar> <Curali> *takes Kasha by the shoulders* Kasha
<DeathStar> <Curali> I need to pass a message on to you
<Sera> * Cameron looks at Cheryl. "They're in Prime, and in mass. With technology well beyond what we have. It's like they're Progenitors come again."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We... ran into them I think
<Nyaomi> 6Akasha leans back and howls inhumanly again realizing it's not A.Miyuki
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *She rubs her head* They use Alt's PAX, the one Erevis has, as their base
<DeathStar> 6* Curali makes a face
<DeathStar> <Curali> YOU HAVE A BABY.
<Sera> Cameron> *describes their instant teleports and stuff*
<Sera> * Lisa talks avidly, looking like a girl who's found her mother again.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina touches KAsha's shoulder
<DeathStar> <Curali> Zephyr and MEgumi have him, and they wanted to give you a message
<Chainy> <Miyuki> its true, she just kinda popped out of nowhere
<Nyaomi> 6Akasha lets out a long breath and sobs, sniffling again, blinking at Curali
<Sera> Cameron> "The only thing puzzling me is with how they have all this, how they haven't just swept in and taken us already."
<Nyaomi> <Akasha> What (hic) --are you talking a.. bout
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki eyes Cameron
<Sera> Cameron> "Or... why."
<Chainy> <Miyuki> dont say stuff like that
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is quiet, peering at Kasha, gritting her teeth - A. Kasha might not be her daughter, but..
<Sera> Cameron> "I'm a realist. We can't keep them at bay with hope."
<DeathStar> <Curali> The other half of Prime Zephyr, she gave birth to both children, yours included
<Chainy> <Miyuki> yeah and saying stuff like that invites trouble
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki holds out a datapad to A.Kasha of Kiseki
<DeathStar> <Aurica> The fact is the largest populations have a lot of ships they can bring together. They likely have been causing a lot of the troubles recently to widdle the fleets down
<DeathStar> <Aurica> The Others... etc.
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Then they'll overrun us, CAmeron
<DeathStar> <Curali> And Zephyr said, to come home to her and Megumi
<DeathStar> <Curali> I don't know what that means, but she said to come home to them
<Jackieness> <Airym> *comm* "Miss Curali, have you located Cheryl yet?"
<Sera> * Cameron sits back and fixes his glasses. "Did you see any indication at all why they've taken things so slow, Cheryl?"
<DeathStar> 6* Curali taps her comm. "Yes, I have her."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs her face. "I just know they want to give birth to some race, or something, with Ao or Erevis."
<Nyaomi> 6Akasha blinks at the datapad, taking it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> MAybe that takes time."
<Sera> Cameron> "It is a bit chilling to think they might have been behind the Others."
<Jackieness> <Airym> *comm* "Ask if she has any data on the Illium that we have not previously acquired. Further, I wish to show her my new toys."
<DeathStar> 6* X finishes his tour and takes XX and JAmes and the others who came into the chambers to upgrade them with sleeker armor, more powerful cannons and whatnot
<DeathStar> <X> This will take an hour or so
<DeathStar> <X> You will jump higher, shoot faster, process quicker
<Sera> Cameron> "Especially since we know that the time the Others succeeded, thousands of years went by without the Illium... maybe they just didn't care since we lost that time."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do we know?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Cameron
<Chainy> <Miyuki> we've named her Kiseki
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do we really know?
<Sera> Cameron> "...Or maybe they were what Gartareh was off fighting... no, I'm just speculating."
<Nyaomi> 6Akasha sniffles, then drops to her knees and sobs over the datapad, crumpled.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kneels and hugs Kasha
<Chainy> 6*Miyuki kneels down
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You have a baby, Kasha - and Zephyr and Megumi are waiting on you
<DeathStar> <katrina> Don't despair
<Sera> Cameron> "It helps me process my thoughts. A giant hammer waiting to slam into our head hanging over us is a bit unsettling."
<Jackieness> <XX> "We're going to need them."
<Chainy> <Miyuki> she's healthhy and happy, you should go and see her, and hold her
<Chainy> <Miyuki> youre all she has left now, so to speak
<Nyaomi> <Akasha> .. I w-- want... to see her..." 6She chokes out
<Sera> * LIsa keeps hugging and talking with Erevis, telling her everything she's missed.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis listens, patting Lisa's head, though she seems somewhat out of it
<DeathStar> 6 *Cheryl rubs her head, looking jittery still
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina patsh er head
<DeathStar> <katrina> We'll get back home soon
<Sera> Lisa> "Do you... need to lay down?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> We will
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I've done enough laying on my back
<DeathStar> 6* She peers to the sky
<Chainy> <Miyuki> lets head back then
<DeathStar> <curali> As soon as the Roboticons fix our engines, we will
<Sera> Lisa> *nods a little*
<DeathStar> <Curali> *She coos* We will go back immediately

<DeathStar> Epilogue 1:
<DeathStar> Location: Classic, Delta Quadrant
<DeathStar> 6* Four Illium ships leap into the area, and begin to spread out on a search vector, looking for the pray, even as Roboticon chugs along unknowingly
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFt-
<DeathStar> Epiloge 2:
<DeathStar> Location: Classic
<DeathStar> 6* Wind leans back in his seat, reading John's report
<DeathStar> <Wind> Megumi?
<DeathStar> 6* He tosses it down
<Sera> * Seraphna peers over.
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> ... Yes... sir?
<Sera> * Kumiko is making tea and biscuits.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind folds his fingers. "Clear my schedule as PResident for the next month. I might not be in this reality. I think my powers are going to be needed elsewhere. Seraphna, keep the Special Unit primed and ready while I'm gone for any internal threats."
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Im... possible
<DeathStar> 6* Wind rises and begins to go through his drawers, grabbing his sabre and other supplies. Death Star, arms crossed, leaning on the wall
<Sera> Seraphna> "Sure thing. Go Dues Ex Machina some badguys."
<DeathStar> <Wind> Then have Death Star play me
<DeathStar> <Death Star> Me, be President for a month? *snort*
<DeathStar> <Wind> We've played each other before
<Sera> * Seraphna grins a bit, she looks at Death Star. "You made an okay god for 15 years."
<DeathStar> <Death Star> You are a real asshole
<DeathStar> <Wind> *looks serious* This time, in my bones due to my powers, something big is coming. A tidal wave
<DeathStar> <Wind> And it's going to wash over us all if me and Miyuki aren't together
<DeathStar> <Wind> I need to whip her into shape so she's not bleeding out and passing out like Cheryl did when she used her powers
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> ..." 6She points at Death Star
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> You will assist him.
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Our ... president... just had an.... accident.
<Sera> Seraphna> *takes a breath* DS, you'll have my help. LIke the old days.
<DeathStar> <Death Star> Looks like the little lady wants me to go with you
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Priva... cy and recuperation re... quires isolation while recovering..
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> I'm com... ing.
* Aqua has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<DeathStar> 6* Wind nods
<DeathStar> <Wind> Fair enough
* Aqua has joined #Session416
<DeathStar> <Death Star> *mock salutes*
<Sera> Seraphna> *rubs her head a bit*
<DeathStar> l<Wind> Hold the fort, Seraphna
<Sera> Seraphna> "Alright..."
<Nyaomi> 6Megumi sits and turns Wind's computer around, rapidly tapping-- almost like Eluere when not using her powers, implimenting her alibi
<DeathStar> <Wind> The hallway is right there to reach the Asteroid, so we're a stone throw's away
<Nyaomi> 6Wind was in a shuttle accident-- he is fine but recovering, media coverage is unallowed to allow him to heal in peace without stress.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Sera> Seraphna> "One of you is coming back whenever I need the president to smile and wave and give me the power to blow things out of the sky."
