Session 422

Session Start: Tue Mar 25 14:35:05 2014
Session Ident: #Session422
<DeathStar> There is likely no Sera tonight
<DeathStar> 10-608.10.8 / 10-605.3.24 / March 24th, 2241 (Alt/Class)
<DeathStar> With their work to track down X leading them to the sex club, Kitty and Taiga are sent an image of X stepping out with several of the weapons. Kitty, choosing to go after her, plans to go alone but for Taiga, who volunteers to come with her. She sets up a flare in the bond for if she's knocked out, perhaps knowing the two of them going in alone can't end well.
<DeathStar> John holds a meeting in which they break the news to Del as to what they found out about X. The body is an alternate X, not matching up to Kitty's DNA. To make matters worse, they found the body of X next to adying Cheiko. Here they also present the conflicting fact: X's brainwave signature is a perfect match, it's something that no fake could possibly fake as well. John suggests that this is actually X's power, they all know she has the powers of the other Weapons, but never what her own Weapon power was. A form of mind transfer, possibly granted through remnant DNA of William Spade.
<DeathStar> The meeting is interrupted when Key's water breaks and Cuddles and Vodka flee from the tentacled horror that could only come from Key. Lisa is left to tackle the horror herself, delivering the baby and earning all the experience points.
<DeathStar> On the Interceptor, coverted to the temporary Striker base, Cheryl explains the situation in Wind's reality. Angelos suggests that Wind would probably have less chances of going insane erasing the threat of Theos and Atheos with Miyuki's help. Cheryl heads out to ask her if she'll go.
<DeathStar> Erevis holds a meeting on the PAX, Athena plans to make an attack run on the Light Gate and remove it before more Illium ships flood the system. They reach out to the Strikers to coordinate a reality jump to Alternate. Ama allows this on one condition, Athena has to tell Isis face to face what she intends to do.
<DeathStar> The Zodiac club meets minus Kitty and Taiga, wondering where they are when Ouka, Suzu and Mitsu feel pain in the bond. Realizing Taiga must be in trouble with Kitty, the group sounds the horn and heads out for the sex club to save their friends.
<DeathStar> Earlier, Taiga and Kitty made their way into the club and got past the bouncers, getting into a training facility under the club. They're collecting information when Ripple arrives with X and two Zodiac Girls. Ripple orders X to attack them, and she chooses this moment to show her true alignment, turning to help Kitty and Taiga. Caesura enters the battle and starts batting the girls down, Taiga fleeing through a ripple when Kitty pushes her through. Leaving X and her daughter to face the Weapons.
<DeathStar> The group arrives to find a blood trail and splits up, half racing into the club and half folling the blood to find Taiga in the next door shop. They patch her up and head into the back as the team that went in headfirst fights their way through a crowd, past the bouncers, and in through a security door. Taiga's group arrives first to break up the assault and Ripple flees with Caesura, Kitty and X heading after them as the Zodiacs, united again, are forced to face off against Star and Death Arcanas. THe group manages to take down Star and Death, claming their cards and knocking them out, while X and Kitty beat on Ripple and Caesura, eventually X calms Kitty down and they haul the two weapons in.
<DeathStar> While this is all happening, the other Weapons make their move. Seraphim attacking the Arakawa mansion and attempting to kill the Billies. However, she meets more resistance than planned when Cassandra and Setsuna begin pulling the arsenal out of the walls and fight her off. The fight ends in Seraphim being blown apart.
<DeathStar> The hospital sees an attack when Peter is knocked unconcious by Caduceus, who then takes down Vodka and Cuddles. He kidnaps Key and begins to leave with her when the others stumble out of the hospital just before it's destoyed in an explosion. While John races to the scene, he's stopped by Dias, who displays powers of stupidly powerful strength beyond the norm. With the help of Josephine, Kumiko and Ash, the group is able to take Dias down by blowing him apart.
<DeathStar> As Cheryl moves to go ask Miyuki about the trip to Wind's reality, Chad makes his move and attempts to take Cheryl while she's alone. However, she's not alone, and Miyuki, Chii, Warren and Benjamin add their say in what should happen, Leyaeh joining in the battle. The group pins him down and is about to execute him when Chii tries to talk it out, it doesn't go well however and the team kills him, Chii eating his insane soul.
<DeathStar> While the teams lick their wounds, most of the weapons dead or captured, Vanessa accesses files in her office on her fathered interests in Project I.L.L.I.U.M. she sends off a copy to Kitty just before her father's voice speaks up behind her and something swings down at her.

And Now...

<DeathStar> 10-608.10.14 / 10-605.3.30 / March 30th, 2241 (Alt/Class)
<DeathStar> Location: John's Base (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* A lot has happened the following days, and not all of it good. Despite the lull after beating the majority of the Weapons, a few are still left out there. Caduceus, Slash, and Virulent, the plague girl. However, while Cheryl was suppose to go back to work with the Reality Strikers, and begin helping there, she has been forced to go into the Classic Reality with Miyuki to help with her powers going out of control, and has been leaving the work load to Warren once again (cont)
* Nyaomi has left #Session422
* Nyaomi has joined #Session422
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus, their Caduceus, as been brought down to help with the missing knowledge of Cuddles and Vodka, and is looking into it, working on the PAX mostly, and serving as head doctor again, making Ethan his whipping boy. The PAX so far has been dealing with the various crisises of government, Isis a complete wreck and the New EarthGov complaints getting the best of her as the planets in the spectrum have been voted in and there has been rising conflict due to their religious beliefs with all the religious planets, the Catholic Planet, Buddah, etc. being located there. Otherwise, nothing has been out of the ordinary. Erevis' spies on the two Tsivrixsh worlds have picked up nothing out of the ordinary (Cont)
<DeathStar> 6* Athena's fleet has gotten the Avenger hooked up and is planning to make the launch sometime today into the Alternate Reality to make her battle against the Light Gate, and that has some tensions high among the upper echeleons of the Empire's forces. The Zodiac forces have been focusing on their last 4 Arcana opponents, which Taiga promises will be the game changers. (Cont)
<DeathStar> 6* However, our scene opens up in John's offices as he gathers his people. Keeping Key close to him and his newborn baby, who's name has not been revealed yet. And looks like a mini Key.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei looks a little out of it, keeping Umi close to HER, as she works on the files. Having Ripple and Caesura in the prison brig below, they have been working at interrogating them for the last several days
<Chainy> 6*Umi whines and licks her
<DeathStar> <John> *He tosses his papers down* We have had been having our very best - meaning you guys - going at Rippler and Caesura for days. Rippler is not cracking. What's left of him after X and Kitty were done
<DeathStar> <John> But Caesura was more receptive.
<DeathStar> 6* The baby has a shirt that says Daddy's #1 Hole
<Aqua> *Del yawns
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale nods
<Aqua> Del> What has she let out?
<DeathStar> <John> It seems she was killed in the 5 year battles with the Illium and woke up under their command
<DeathStar> <John> She just knows her orders were to follow Slash and do what he said to pave the way.
<DeathStar> 6* John leans back. "We're working on breaking their hold over her."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...reanimating the dead as their weaponized slaves? What is with these Illium..."
<Aqua> *Del grumbles "Pave the way, that sounds lovely"
* Aqua has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
* Aqua has joined #Session422
<DeathStar> <John> It seems they thought certain Weapons would be a match for some of us to keep us out of the big battle
<DeathStar> <John> The Billys were neutralized. They can't use their dark powers still
<DeathStar> 6* John flicks another finger. "And we lost two of our healers."
<kalonZombie> <Hale> At least we're not all gone, though.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Why though?"
<Aqua> Del> Not even close thankfully
<DeathStar> <John> The last three still pose a problem. We know how bad our Caduceus can be.
<DeathStar> <JOhn> And all he does is heal
<DeathStar> 6* John brings up a picture of the fully bearded Cad, unlock their's who has the House unshaven look
<DeathStar> *unlike
<DeathStar> <John> He can do massive healing and can take life if necessary to give to another
<Aqua> Del> Looks like a mountain man
<DeathStar> <John> The only thing they have in common is their bum leg and cane
<DeathStar> <John> Virulent might be the most dangerous simply due to her power set
<DeathStar> 6* Hel eans forward. "She has every known toxin known to man and then some, and can poison you with a scratch, and has air bone poisons."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Any resources available that are not suceptible to virus or bacterial infection?"
<DeathStar> <John> And Slash is a highly trained swords man
<Aqua> Del> We should prepare gas masks and other hazard gear.
<DeathStar> <John> Gods maybe. But Virulent might even slow them down with her list
<DeathStar> <John> IF she hit them with all her viruses
<DeathStar> 6* John leans over and takes a message, then frowns
<kalonZombie> <Hale> What's up bossman?
<DeathStar> <John> ... *cups his hands* The fake Ariel is missing, kidnapped from the Guardian colony. 6* Referring to Sera's dumb Ariel that acts gropy
<DeathStar> <John> She is mostly like the real Ariel in every way in DNA
<DeathStar> <John> Outside personality
<DeathStar> <John> Her kidnaper was described as Slash
<Aqua> *Del rubs his head
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> The fake ARiel isn't dead? Are we sure it's not the real one?
<DeathStar> <John> Honestly? Ariel is so under used I don't know
<DeathStar> <John> But why would they want her.
<DeathStar> 6* John looks at everyone for ideas
<Aqua> Del> DNA?
<DeathStar> <John> Maybe, but there's so many Alphas, Next Gen, and so on out there
<DeathStar> <John> I can't decide what her DNA could be good for anymore
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "The question on my mind is why they feel the need to target specific individuals. What do the Illium fear? What do they have to gain?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *flips through files as they talk*
<DeathStar> <John> I don't know, Josephine. Maybe it's not fear so much as they don't want certain power sets coming together
<Aqua> Del> Maybe they are getting rid of peolle who were troublesome in other realities?
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "But again... with their fleet, army, techonology... why certain individuals or small groups os individuals?"
<DeathStar> <John> Possibilities. could explain me
<Aqua> Del> Maybe we should talk to Alts Aya? She might be able to give us a better idea
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "There is a piece of the puzzle that we are missing, I think. Also the manner of assassination they chose... frontal attack after frontal attack."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I have an idea on why they want her DNA
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And it is not good
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Lay it on us.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> MOre than 15 years ago, probably 17?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> The Cartel and Earth almost entered a war and they were designing an Dragoon Virus to kill them based off Ariel's DNA. At the time there was only Alphas.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> However, the NGD are based off the Alphas. And many of the kids come from Alphas and NGDs.
<Aqua> *Del makes a face
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Ariel is the key. Virulent could form a virus off Ariel
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And ...
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale makes a face
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Then we have our priority target."
<DeathStar> <John> Indeed. *He sips some water*
<DeathStar> <John> Assuming she makes the virus, we also have to determine how she'll spread it
<Aqua> *Del points at John's water
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Too many vectors."
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Could she potentially get it into the water?
<DeathStar> <John> *peers and pushes it aside* A possibility. .... *He looks grimdark*
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Food and water is one. Atmospheric dispersal. A slow-acting virus coudl be spread through contact."
<DeathStar> <John> They've been in our city for over a month now. The water supplies could have all sorts of viruses and they took out our doctors
<DeathStar> <John> What is the rise of sickness in our area?
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei brings it up
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> .... ....
<DeathStar> 6* Her ears droop
<Aqua> *Del darkens
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Various diseases are spreading from our city outward the last few weeks, across Europe. Some not seen for long time
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "They must be infecting it after it leaves the treatment plants."
<DeathStar> <John> Which means we all may be infected already.
<DeathStar> <John> Our good health may be holding it back
<DeathStar> 6* John motions at Del and his Legion
<Aqua> Del> I'm pretty much immune to everything.
<DeathStar> <John> HOw many are dying? <Lorelei> No one is dead yet. Just sick.
<DeathStar> <John> So they're clogging us
<DeathStar> 6* John pushes his fingers together, clearly thinking why
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Depends on their goal. Weakening us and taxing our resources could be worse than mass-deaths."
<DeathStar> <John> We need to finish the last 3 off. Our orders from the president is to head for space to join in with finding out who the Illium are and ending this
<DeathStar> <John> So that's what we're going to do. Lets try to trace the water angle back
<DeathStar> <John> Virulent has to have slipped sowhere
<DeathStar> *somewhere
<Aqua> *Del sighs and leans back
<DeathStar> <John> Everyone head out, hit your sources, and get me something
<DeathStar> 6* He stands up, flipping his folder closed and eyes Key
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale and Ash nod, heading out
<DeathStar> <John> Feed the baby outsourced stuff from PAX
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *stands and salutes*
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei begins to try to figure out where Ariel might be
<Aqua> *Del rises and moves off
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Hidden Zodiac Base Outside City
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga sits, adjusting her armor, quiet today - both in good spirits and not afrter the incident in the mansion a day ago. She has set up a little temp base not in school since she doesn't think it's safe anymore since the Arcana know they are students and say them with James and others in Part 1
<DeathStar> 6* Ako and Iko sit there, eating cookies, and Morrigan paces around in her armor, studying computers set up for Gor, and universe mapping and other things. Their robot pets are around as well. Lenneth is off to one side
<Aqua> *Jade sits next to Kitty, fiddling with her braclet
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga flips her tarot card normally in her armor. "We have four more enemies out there. The last four are not going to come easily."
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor is typing away on the computers, still in a bit of a downswing due to what happened
<DeathStar> 6* Butterfly and Mute look at each other
<Chainy> 6*Suzu and Mitsu are quiet as well beside Gor
<Chainy> 6*Kitty coughs into a hankerchief and sighs
<DeathStar> <Taiga> There is the Empress, the Hierophant, the Hermit, and the World.
<DeathStar> 6* She leans forward. "We are likely going to have to soon leave Earth to finish this fight."
<Chainy> 6*Kitty pulls out a book from her back, flagged with sticky notes
<Chainy> <Kitty> here
<Aqua> *Jade blinks "Like in space?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Yes, and other planets
<DeathStar> 6* Ako peers at the book
<Aqua> *Jade looks excited
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We just have to make sure we finish off the last of them here first
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga leans back in her school outfit that is her typical clothing
<kalonZombie> 6*Xander looks while Gor keeps typing away, not looking
<Chainy> 6*Kitty huffs and tosses the book to Taiga gently
<DeathStar> 6* Iko lays in Gor's lap
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga takes it and opens it
<Chainy> <Kitty> its all about the Tarot and the meanings, BOTH meanings, maybe we can find weaknesses in there
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *nods* Hopefully so
<DeathStar> 6* Kitty's datapad beeps with an unknown number
<Chainy> 6*Kitty blinks
<Chainy> <Kitty> anyone know this number?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> No
<Chainy> 6*Kitty lets it ring
<Chainy> <Kitty> if its important...they'll leave a message
<Chainy> 6*Kitty clears her throat and goes for a losange
<DeathStar> 6* Whoever it is doesn't leave a message. An important plot point feels like it is forever lost
<Aqua> Jade> Are you feeling any better?
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor reverse traces the number
<Chainy> <Kitty> I think its just allergies
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Taiga-- does that mean we'll require El to take us elsewhere?
<DeathStar> 6* The number is to a throw away datapad and has likely been tossed
<Aqua> *Jade nods and rubs her back
<DeathStar> <Morrigan> How do we find the remaining ARcana now?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hope for a lucky break.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We do not have many leads.
<Chainy> 6*Kitty looks at Gor
<Chainy> <Kitty> Gor, see if you can find what tower the call came from
<Chainy> <Kitty> and maybe there will be some survalence
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor wordlessly starts doing that
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, it just seems to have come from somewhere in Vatican City, and nothing more can be gleamed.
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Vatican City.
<DeathStar> 6* They can likely find the dump spot of it
<Chainy> <Kitty> is there anyway to pin point it?
<kalonZombie> 6*He starts trying to
<DeathStar> 6* It comes down to the rich area for where the richest in the city live, up north of where Miyuki's mansion is at near open areas like herself
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga nods to Ouka
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor brings it up on a hologram of sorts, not talkign much today
<Chainy> 6*Kitty makes a face
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be on a street near jsut a few mansions
<Chainy> <Kitty> Vanessa
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Why not use her own?
<Chainy> <Kitty> she might be on the run
<Aqua> Jade> Could be trying to avoid being noticed?
<DeathStar> <Morrigan> Well, we missed her this time then...
<Chainy> <Kitty> damnit
<DeathStar> <Ako> If she was on run why not do it further from her house, if that is her house
<Chainy> <Kitty> I dont know...but I missed the chance to ask when I didnt answer
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga pats
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We will get it. We can only keep training and being there.
<Aqua> *Jade pats Kitty's shoulder
<Chainy> <Kitty> except if she gets hurt or worse...thats all on me
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Interceptor Base
<DeathStar> 6* Warren calls on the remnants of Gold and Blue Teams: http://www.thealienwars.com/RS/BIOS/index.php
<DeathStar> 6* Curali walks out armorless, but still exhausted with Darien in the hospital
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale walks out
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica and Zephyr are there, sitting down and looking grim. Katrina and Rosetta sit as well
<Aqua> *Teddy lies on the floor
<Jackieness> <Airym> *arrives now*
<DeathStar> <Warren> *he props his feet on teddy, popping a pill*
<Aqua> *Kagu Jr floats nearby
<DeathStar> 6* He reading reports on how all the alters are doing in the safehouse
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *also shows up, leaving Setsuna to guard the Billys*
<DeathStar> <Warren> *does check marks on the roster, as if eliminating people off the Strikers based on who does not show*
<Aqua> *Teddy blinks at becoming an ottoman
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash walks in
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Sir, Setsuna is staying with the family, following the attack."
<Nyaomi> 6Mem slips in, with Katrina?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans on Mem
<DeathStar> 6* Warren goes to cross of Prime KAsha, assuming she does not show
<DeathStar> 6* Then Megumi
<DeathStar> <Warren> *He looks around, as if doing head counts*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Alright
<DeathStar> <Warren> Airym has gotten the Avenger set up to take an entire fleet to the Alternate Reality
<DeathStar> <Warren> Out of the two teams, and any Red people who are listening in I guess that might want in on this
<DeathStar> <Warren> Who wants to fly the Avenger to take them over and monitor their progress to bring them back if things go bad?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Please be gentle with Avenger."
<DeathStar> <Curali> I will go.
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> I will
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I will stay here this time
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll go to check on AThena
<kalonZombie> <Hale> I'll go.
<Aqua> Kagu> I'll go
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I would go, but my technical resources may be required here as well." *looks at Warren*
<DeathStar> <Warren> IT is your choice, Airym
<DeathStar> 6* Curali heads out to the ship
<DeathStar> 6* With Zephyr and Rosetta heading along. Rosetta waves at Alt Michelle
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Then I shall go. I have an attachment to Avenger."
<DeathStar> *Marshall
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale heads with them
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> See you later, Marsh
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Further, this is a further opportunity to analyze Illium technology or combat tactics."
<DeathStar> <Curali> Joy
<DeathStar> 6* Curali waves at her sister as she walks onto the Avenger and takes her pilot seat. Rosetta takes a captain seat since Aurica isn't going
<DeathStar> 6* And Zephyr takes a weapon seat
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns back to monitor things on the monitors
<Nyaomi> <Mem> Shall we go, Kat?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Like I said, no
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not this time
<Jackieness> <Airym> *moves to board the Avenger* "And Warren Carmichael. I have already disposed of my recent project with the dignity that the man he was once deserved." *boards the ship*
<Nyaomi> 6Mem pouts.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I feel more useful on another mission
<Nyaomi> 6Mem nods
<DeathStar> 6* Warren peers abck and nods slowly
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "I kinda want to stay close to home, myself."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Isis eyes all the complaints and more religious planets cropping up along the edge of New EarthGov space beside the planets that have recently joined and finally she makes a curse. "Fucking religious hypocrite fuckers."
<DeathStar> 6* She slams her desk down on the bridge beside Ao
<DeathStar> 6* Ao turns slowly
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, who is exiting a conference room, pauses
<Chainy> 6*Ama slowly apporoaches her
<Chainy> <Ama> Isis?
<DeathStar> <Isis> *pants* Sorry. They keep spamming with complaints about all the aliens and stuff of our Empire being so close to them
<DeathStar> <Isis> They are racists
<Chainy> 6*Ama gently hugs her and strokes her back
<DeathStar> 6* She tosses the catholic planets complaints down, the Islam planet's down, and more. And new religious planets popping up
<DeathStar> <Isis> They have never acted this bad before
<DeathStar> <Isis> Why did all these worlds join now?
<DeathStar> 6* She notes bitterly. Erevis joins in the hug
<kalonZombie> 6*Hi is hard at work, doing Athena's old gig
<Chainy> <Ama> I dont know little one, but I can assure you this is no different than it was years ago
<DeathStar> 6* So far Hi would find the internal stuff going smoothly, the senators working together greatly and voting all in. Even on the war effort.
<DeathStar> <Isis> *nods and sits*
<DeathStar> 6* Tsukiyomi is playing with Inari's tail
<Chainy> 6*Ama kneels so she's level with Isis
<Chainy> <Ama> are you sure you want to work right now?
<DeathStar> <Isis> There is a lot to be done
<DeathStar> <Isis> And soon Athena's attack will be going through
<DeathStar> 6* She pauses as the comm light flashes, indicating
<DeathStar> 6* Ao taps and Athena's face appears
<Chainy> <Ama> yes but--
<Chainy> 6*Ama pauses and looks
<DeathStar> <Athena> *paws* The Avenger is in place and we are going to make the jump into the Alt reality. Paw us luck
<DeathStar> <Athena> Once their gate is gone, their ships will be stranded
<Chainy> 6*Ama smiles gently and Paws for Athena
<DeathStar> 6* Athena wiggles and paw paw paws
<DeathStar> 6* Athena disconnects.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Alt/Light Gate
<DeathStar> 6* The Avengers flies forward and appears before the Light Gate and the 40 ships of the enemy, all of them looking big and mean Illium battle ships. Behind them, Athena's battle ship and 100 of their various ships
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta leans forward in the captain's chair, studying the layout grimly. "This is it."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr begins to charge weapons as the Suisen Fleet flies forward to enguage, both sides pounding each other by the Illiums' hyperspace blasts are clearly doing a number, even with the Suisen ships doing them back, the Illium ships seem to absorb them
<DeathStar> 6* Curali tries to fly along, not wanting the Avenger to get destroyed lest the fleet be stranded here
<DeathStar> <Curali> Geeze, how are they ever going to reach the damn gate?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "All systems are operating within optimal paramters."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash sits at a gun station, just in case
<DeathStar> 6* An Illium ship flashes before them and locks on
<DeathStar> 6* Curali twists to avoid, and Zephyr fires
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash fires as well
<DeathStar> 6* Their blasts damage and puncture holes in the ship. Curali flies through the Illium ship and they can see sparkly enemies at their stations. One turns and leaps at them like a Gitari specialist, attaching to the side of the ship as they fly out
<DeathStar> 6* The Illium hanging on, his skin sparkly, but having famfritish ears
<DeathStar> 6* Curali stares at the Illium on the front as it rears back and begins to punch
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> *eyes as hull damage forms*I
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Charging the Avenger's hull to repel boarder." *does so*
<DeathStar> 6* The Illium is knocked off
<DeathStar> 6* As they keep fighting, the Light Gate glows and more enemies begin to pour out in a never ending wave it looks like. And the battle field begins to get nastier.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "This has happened too many times to not work on a countermeasure beforehand. It is also why the Avenger does not have any elevators."
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> How is Athena going to beat this?
<kalonZombie> <Ash> This is bad.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The most effective solution to destroying both the Illium forces and the Light Gate... is to detonate the Light Gate."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Would that be smart or?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "It is extremely dangerous."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena's ship seems to be accelerating suddenly
<Jackieness> <Airym> "However, it would be effective."
<DeathStar> 6* Curali dodges as four ships chase them, firing
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr begins to fire at them, blasting behind, as Curali tries to dodge, as Athena's ship begins to get blasted, chunks taken out, as it flies at the gate, being the biggest ship
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ATHENA! WHAT ARE YOU DOING? *She screams on comms*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "She is at ramming speed."
<DeathStar> <Athena on comm> Mew. This is going to be never ending. I am going to cause a massive feedback
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Don't you DARE
<DeathStar> <Athena on comm> Sorry, Momma Z
<DeathStar> 6* She cuts her off
<DeathStar> 6* The Avenger takes three blasts into their back, shields flickering, and an Illium ship appears in front of them
<DeathStar> 6* Curali jerks, trying to avoid hitting them
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pours fire into it, and orders Ash to target her spot
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash does so
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I advise evasive tactics as I attempt to restore shields."
<DeathStar> 6* They bust the shields and hull and slam through it, going flying through decks and levels, the Avenger's shields and hulol screaming
<DeathStar> 6* As they smash through deck after deck, crushing lunch ladies and Illiums
<DeathStar> 6* They pass what appears to be a core that looks like a mini PAX core ut light years beyond it in tech
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr aims at it
<DeathStar> 6* But misses
<DeathStar> 6* And they fly back out, spinning
<DeathStar> 6* Athena's ship begins to gain speed, on fire in space somehow, and is nearly upon the Gate, firing into it
<Jackieness> <Airym> "This has been most informative."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash tries to fire at it as well, even as they spin, hoping his upgrades will help
<DeathStar> 6* Ash hits the core as the other ships come up and the explosion from the ship takes them out
* Seraphna has joined #Session422
<DeathStar> 6* Curali rightens the ship and tries to fly at the Light Gate before Athena rams it
<DeathStar> 6* However her flag ship, while firing, slams right into it and a massive explosion goes off
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I advise a retreat. This will probably hurt."
<DeathStar> 6* GOing so bright it blinds those inside the Avenger and a force wave flies back as the light engine core goes off, like the one that tried to on the ship they flew before
<DeathStar> 6* But on a 100x scale
<DeathStar> 6* Suisen Ships leap to hyperspace, but it seems oddly that the Illium ships are caught in some sort of stasis field and blow up one by one as arcs of power fly out
<DeathStar> 6* The Avenger twists and begins to fly away as the shockwave flies at them and Zephyr tries to scan the area
* Aqua has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
* Aqua has joined #Session422
<DeathStar> 6* Curali jumps them before the shockwave hits them and they appear in the meet up point
<DeathStar> 6* The Suisen forces look beat up, hull pieces floating around and half their forces gone from the ships pouring out
<DeathStar> 6* But not one enemy ship follows
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Soooo... did we win? I think we won?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I am still analyzing the data."
* Aqua has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Aqua has joined #Session422
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr falls back, looking sick and defeated, crying
<DeathStar> 6* Curali lets out her breath
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> ... We won the major battle. They can't send more ships here. Now we need to check Oracle Planet and see if we can find clues...

<DeathStar> Location: Vodka's Lab (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus, temporarily down from PAX to do work on Vodka and Cuddles, has them on a table, doing blood work and studying results, popping pills and looking annoyed as he goes over results, tapping his cane. John is there, studying the effects of the unleashed viruses across Europe by Virulent, asking questions
<Aqua> *Del brings in Kitty, looking worried
<Nyaomi> 6Yuno is attached to his arm, practically, in girl form
<DeathStar> (Wrong John)
<Nyaomi> 6She bamfs into Key
<Nyaomi> <Key> Other John has one
<Seraphna> * Peter lets Cad work, Cameron there to help as a doctor, so likely helping John.
<DeathStar> 6* X is there as well, her clone body growing
<DeathStar> <John> Huh?
<Nyaomi> <Key> Has little crazy girl! Loves her!
<Aqua> Del> Kitty sick, it might be that thing.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> If I had to guess, based on the progression of the plagues spreading, Virulent is likely affecting underground water resveiours
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Very bad.
<Seraphna> Cameron> "This country is full of them too."
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus touches Kitty, scanning her with his own hand
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> And if I had to guess, with Ariel's body and her making her own dragoon virus
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> The dragoons are likely already infected.
<Chainy> 6*Kitty huffs but coughs into her hankerchief
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale makes a face, worried sick about his entire family
<Seraphna> Cameron> "...That's bad."
<DeathStar> <John> I Think that's his daughter. *He looks up* Didn't Zephyr come in last night and Mem is here too. They're carriers now if the plague is out
<Aqua> *Del jolds Kitty up by Cad
<DeathStar> 6* John muses on Zephyr crying as she came back to see Megumi and the other KAsha after losing AThena
<DeathStar> 6* Vodka has a supply of bottled water out and foods from PAX
<Seraphna> Cameron> "So we can likely assume the PAX Dragoons are infect, possibly the guardians too, given Ariel's DNA."
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus keeps his scan going see if she's infected
<Chainy> <Kitty> its allergies I swear
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Tonsilitis
<Nyaomi> 6Enue steps in. 1"Oi."
<DeathStar> 6* He removes his hand
<DeathStar> 6* He goes back to work
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Hrm."
<Chainy> 6*Kitty blinks
<Nyaomi> <Enue> What's this about somethin' infectin' the PAX dragoons?
<Aqua> *Del sighs in relief
<Chainy> 6*then looks up at Del
<DeathStar> <X> That is a relief.
<Chainy> <Kitty> they have to cut my tonsils?
<Seraphna> * Cameron peers over. "Why are you here and not on the PAX? You're down two doctors as it is."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the lights go out and everyone would feel their life forces dropping but Caduceus
<DeathStar> 6* X jerks and falls over
<DeathStar> 6* John makes a gag and falls over
<Nyaomi> <Enue> Because you know more than we do, and I need to know more to he-- hurk..!?
<Aqua> *Del reels
<Chainy> 6*Kitty starts making choking noises
<DeathStar> 6* The other Caduceus walks in with his cane, hobbling. Prime Caduceus turns. The two stare, and begin to have--a cane fighit
<Seraphna> * Cameron urks and falls to a knee, he grunts and pulls out a light, turning it on.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale falls to his knees, trying to get back up
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus Prime leading the other Caduceus out of the room so the affects fade
<Chainy> 6*Kitty tries to crawl over to the two cane walkers
<Aqua> *Del reaches for his pistol holster
<Nyaomi> <Enue> Did I just--?
<DeathStar> <John> *pants* Did I ... just see..two cripples..fighit...
<DeathStar> 6* X rises
<Seraphna> * Cameron slowly rises, grabbing his kunai. "Shall we... call in Kumiko? She can take on a Caduceus template."
<DeathStar> <Vodka> He must being here to wreck the medical data we got
<Aqua> *Del rises and pulls out his pistols
<Seraphna> * Peter grunts and pulls out his gun. "Fuck that."
<DeathStar> 6* Prime Caduceus and the alt Caduceus fight down the hallway, the affect field there now as they cane fight, getting close to the emergency generators
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale pulls out his pistol, trying to aim at the evil Cad
<DeathStar> 6* Cad here to pull a hospital blow out part 2
<Seraphna> Peter> "Start backing up the data, we'll try and stop him."
<DeathStar> 6* John and Vodka now, doing so
<Aqua> *Del takes aim slowly
<Chainy> 6*Kitty tries to stay low
<Chainy> 6*and for now out of sight
<DeathStar> 6* The two don't notice her as they lock canes. Caduceus Prime slams his cane into his nose, breaking it
<DeathStar> 6* Then cane smacks him into an office and out of gun sight
<DeathStar> 6* Where they fight over a desk
<Seraphna> * Peter moves for the hall slowly, taking aim. Summoning some spirit to try and bolster himself.
<Aqua> Del>.... X, can you open a ripple near him?
<DeathStar> <X> Yes. *She waves her hand, doing so*
<DeathStar> 6* But the affect pours in sowly
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale follows Peter, pistol drawn
<Chainy> 6*Kitty tries to stealthily creep in
<DeathStar> 6* The two cripples smack each other and break faces. Kitty crawls in
<Aqua> *Del takes aim on way not to shoot their Cad and fires
<DeathStar> 6* Del shoots the other CAduceus who makes a curse; his wound begins to heal
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale fires on him as he heals
<Seraphna> * Peter aims carefully and fires into the same wound.
<Aqua> *Del fires some more
<Chainy> 6*Kitty watches andtries to see where she can attack that would work
<DeathStar> 6* The other Caduceus makes a face and takes the other's pain pills and leans back as they shoot him up, the wounds healing. The other Caduceus then begins to suck the Prime's life force, healing instantly
<Aqua> *Carefull not to hit Good Cad
<DeathStar> 6* Prime Caduceus jerks, uttering he's too old for this shit as he begins to go skeleton
<DeathStar> 6* And tries to do it back, the two locked in a life drain
<Chainy> 6*Kitty reels and bites on Bad Cad
<Aqua> Del> This is so fucking beyond me
<Seraphna> * Peter tosses a stun charm at the Other to help their Cad.
<Nyaomi> 6Enue starts throwing shit at the other Caduceus, having studied under him enough to know which one would insult him-- the one who worked with him
<DeathStar> 6* Bad Caduceus is bit and his drain lock is broken and Prime Caduceus drains his life away
<Nyaomi> 6Enue hurls plastic sample cups and equipment at the bad Caduceus
<DeathStar> 6* The Bad Caduceus falls over, a skeleton on top of Kitty
<Chainy> 6*Kitty reels
<DeathStar> 6* Prime Cadueus peers at Enue
<Chainy> <Kitty> Daddy ;A;
<Seraphna> * Peter tugs Kitty out from under.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> I See you've learned not respect to equipment
<Aqua> *Del jumpa through to help her
<kalonZombie> <Hale> So... that happened.
<Nyaomi> <Enue> Fuck off, man, trying to help!
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Thank you. I suppose
<DeathStar> 6* He offers him vicodoin
<Seraphna> Peter> "No problem... one more weapon down."
<DeathStar> 6* X follows and pulls off the skeleton
<Chainy> 6*Kitty hugs onto her mom and dad
<Nyaomi> 6Enue deadpans, but then takes it, popping it and standing next to Caduceus, arms crossed.
<Aqua> Del> That was fucking bizarre
<Seraphna> Peter> "...He can
<Seraphna> Peter> "...He can't regenerate from that, can he?"
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> He cna
<DeathStar> <Caduiceus> You have to smash the skeleton
<Nyaomi> 6Enue suddenly begins smashing it with his boots
<DeathStar> 6* He pops his pills
<Chainy> 6*Kitty stomps on the side of the skull
<Aqua> *Del starts stomp
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus eyes them smashing the skeleton to nothing
<Seraphna> Peter> *nods and frowns, then pauses as everyone stomps*
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> ... you all plan to do that to me one day, don't you.
<Nyaomi> <Enue> No, but I can only handle one of you
<Chainy> <Kitty> I dont even know you really
<Seraphna> Peter> "Save the world and no, I don't think anyone will."
<Chainy> <Kitty> so why would I?
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I WILL IF YOU DONt FIX ME!
<Aqua> Del> You aren't evil yet so I don't plan on it
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus peers back at Cuddles, and pulls out a needle as big as a leg
<Seraphna> Peter> "Oh yes, save Carmichael too."
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> One moment
<Nyaomi> 6Enue puts his hand on Cuddles and focuses
<DeathStar> 6* He moves off and Cuddles is heard making a noise
<Nyaomi> <Enue> Get me the info, doc.
<Chainy> 6*Kitty then snuggles back against her mom and dad
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> *He hands Enue the notes on what was done* Alright
<Aqua> Del> Right, lets forget that ever happened and go get Kitty's tonsils looked at
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> WE are reversing brain damage on a ceullar level that also took their powers
<Nyaomi> <Enue> Thanks." 6He makes a face and tries to make Cuddles comfortable before he goes
<Nyaomi> <Enue> Good, my specialty
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> It's nothing I've seen
<DeathStar> <X> Yes.
<Chainy> <Kitty> guess we'll see Ethan

<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks out of it
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is there any chance she could have made it?
<DeathStar> <Ao> The Avenger is still out there, looking for Illiums and the fate of Oracle Planet. There is always a chance, sister
<Seraphna> * Sammael looks broken slightly, peering out. "There... has to be a chance..."
<DeathStar> 6* Isis plays with her paperwork, not responding anymore
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *She nods, hugging Isis*
<Nyaomi> 6Megumi lets out an inhuman howled shriek in the back, muffled because of the distance and number of walls.
<DeathStar> 6* Love finishes her weapons in the lab, even if it is too late
<Chainy> <Ama>we would be doing a diservice to Athena if we didnt believe there was a chance
<DeathStar> l6* Erevis nods

<DeathStar> 6* The voice sounds fearful and sad
<Chainy> <Kitty> what do you mean

<DeathStar> 6* Taiga rotates her neck
<Seraphna> * Si nuzzles Gor and rubs his ear gently. "Are you going to stay behind today?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We might have to begin depending on our tarot cards more. They have unique powers based on them and they age you for 3 minutes, but try not to go over or it can be more harmful
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets go people!
<kalonZombie> <Gor> ...Does Taiga think we'll need to form a mech?
<Chainy> <Kitty> alright

<DeathStar> Location: Josephine's Temporary Vatican Mansion
<DeathStar> 6* Returning from investigating the aquaducts and testing the water, giving it to Caduceus and other doctors to see if it's poisoned, Josephine returns at dark, exhausted and tired, and spots a shadowy figure near her mansion, hiding in the bushes
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *slides a hand down and her fingers curl around the grip of one of her pistols*
<DeathStar> 6* The figure looks like it's not moving, and might even be laying there
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *approaches the figure, trying to keep quiet*
<kalonZombie> 6*Chris blinks, but keeps quiet, since he knows better after 15 years of dating Josephine
<DeathStar> 6* As Josephine silently approaches, taking her time to be quiet, she reaches it and sees it's a poor young maid, no more than 20 at best, laying there with scratches down her outfit, cutting through the cloth and hitting her skin, and she has boils and is breathing hard, like she can't get air in, her face feverish, breathing like the black guy in Terminator 2 who's name I've gone blank on
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *activates her comm* "Base, I have a civilian outside my house, infected with scratches. Target was here."
<DeathStar> 6* The comm crackles
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly Josephine feels slashes across her cheek
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...damn it."

<Jackieness> <Josephine> *fires a shot into the bushes* "I'm not dying today."
<DeathStar> 6* Josephine can hear her dodging. Inside, she can feel nanites twisting and turning on her
<DeathStar> 6* Her hand shaking as her aim begins to get off
<DeathStar> 6* IT seems VIrulent picked a very specific way of killing her
<kalonZombie> <Chris> Josephine? Are you alright?
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent moves behind Chris without a word
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Nnnnn..." *goes down on one knee* "Chris... run!"

<kalonZombie> 6*He blinks, but runs for it
<DeathStar> 6 *Green hair swishing, and slashes, missing, tearing his shirt
<kalonZombie> 6*Though he's an accountant, so...
<DeathStar> <VIrulent> Grrr...
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *fires at Virulent wher eChris was standing*
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent is hit in the shoulder, blood splurting - it seems she's actally weak physically unlike other Weapons. She dashes off for her house
<kalonZombie> <Chris> What the hell was that?
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent grabs Chris and drags him inside, smashing the window, luring Josephine in
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *tracks with her pistol and fires as Virulent retreats* "Call base for emergency care." *slumps over*
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...little..." *pulls herslef back on to her feet*
<DeathStar> 6* Inside, Virulent shakes, like she's afraid, eyeing her blood, holding Chris, peering around, keeping her nails to his throat so he doesn't do anything stupid
<DeathStar> 6* And moves up the stairs, blood trail left behind
<kalonZombie> 6*Chris yelps, but doesn't struggle
<DeathStar> <Virulent> Don't make me make you follow your destiny too
<kalonZombie> <Chris> No, no I'm good right here, we're good, we're okay
<kalonZombie> 6*He says that very fast, clearly scared out of his mind
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *moves into the house, following the blood trail and switching her ammo clip with a shaky hand*
<DeathStar> 6* The nanites seem to have reached 40% lethality
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent reaches the master bedroom and tosses him on a bed and knocks over a shelf toblock the door, shaking herself
<DeathStar> <Virulent> Just have to kill her, you're not on the list yet...
<DeathStar> 6* She runs a hand through her green hair
<DeathStar> 6* She seems to be looking around, as if trying to figure out how to turn this to her favor
<kalonZombie> 6*Chris looks around, sneaking his hand under Jose's pillow when Virulent isn't paying attention to him
<DeathStar> <Virulent> *she eyes Chris*
<DeathStar> <Virulent> ....
<DeathStar> <Virulent> D-don't make me do it
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *reaches the door and tries it, then switch to her other pistol and then fires at where the hinges should be and then at the lock before kicking at the door*
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent turns to face Josephine
<kalonZombie> 6*He stops, his hand under the pillow, then he whips the pistol out and aims at her, shaking badly
<DeathStar> 6* Back to aggressive mode
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent goes for Josephine, all killer again oddly

<kalonZombie> 6*Chris closes his eyes and fires at her
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent is struck against the forehead/side and falls forward, clearly weak
<DeathStar> <Virulent> Aaah!
* AquaKoala has joined #Session422
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *levels her main pistol at Virulent and fires* "Neither do you. Polonium rounds."
<kalonZombie> 6*Chris points at her again "D-Don't m-move
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent is knocked back and lays there, bleeding out, dying. She whimpers pitiful, looking young like 16
<DeathStar> <Virulent> Cae...sura... *She reaches up at the sky*
<DeathStar> <Virulent> Sorry...
<kalonZombie> 6*Chris keeps shakily aiming at Virulent
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *comm* "Base, cna you read? Require... require... emergency assistance. Target Virulent down... infected... need.... assistance."
<DeathStar> 6* The comm remains jammed oddlyh
<DeathStar> 6* Her hand drops and she seems to be shriveling up
<kalonZombie> <Chris> John get your ass over here 6*He says, meaning more his brother then John in charge
<Nyaomi> 6A hand grabs the pistol from Chris and shoves his hand up, pushing him away
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Comm is still jammed..."
<Nyaomi> 6Then the white-haired shadow kneels over Virulent
<kalonZombie> 6*He yelps and falls on his ass
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent wavers at death's door due to the radiation, seconds left
<Nyaomi> <???> Oi, oi, not so fast, kiddo.
<DeathStar> 6* Even Chad's insane soul doesn't seem to care
<DeathStar> 6* encouraging the figure to moveo n
<Nyaomi> 6In a split second, a kunai is drawn and flung into the end of the barrel of Josephine's gun on instinct since she'd probably fire, the hair shifting aside as she turns her head and reveals Chii.

<AquaKoala> *Jade sighs but goes back to the group
<DeathStar> 6* And as she heads down the hill--vanishing in a darkness
<DeathStar> 6* AIko vanishes too
<Seraphna> * Michelle and Si head after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Morrigan pauses, eyeing the darness, then leaps in. Lenneth stands there
<Chainy> <Ros>I know but what are we going to do? call it in
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> ... *She eyes the hill look normal*
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor follows, Xander staying near Ros
<DeathStar> 6* She reaches out, but the darkness sucks her in
<Nyaomi> <Jem> Princess!
<Nyaomi> 6Jem goes to leap after her, not perceiving any of that
<DeathStar> 6* Will Ouka and others leap in?
<DeathStar> 6* Despite people vanishing one by one
<Nyaomi> (Ouka changed forms to go faster and be ahead)
<DeathStar> (Oh well, she vanished. Slurp)
<DeathStar> 6* The GM assumes all are heroic and leap in
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Josephine's Dominatrix Bedroom
<DeathStar> 6* Josephine feels the poison reach 70% and her body go numb
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Hey girly-- undo this nonsense on Josie
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent looks barely able to live much live do anything
<DeathStar> *less
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...Chii...seriously... what's going on...?"
<Nyaomi> <Chii> I came for the plague rat
<DeathStar> 6* The radiation sucking her life away
<Nyaomi> 6Chii uses her devouring power to try and suck the malignant aspects out of her
<kalonZombie> <Chris> We need to get some other way to get Josephine better
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Hey kid, you know CPR?
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent gasps and she begins to get power back, but has blood loss
<Nyaomi> 6Chii peers at Josephine
<DeathStar> <Virulent> Ungh...
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent opens her eyes weakly
<Nyaomi> 6Chii uses some of the bedding to try and staunch the bleeding
<DeathStar> <Virulent> Undo...but...Caesura....
<DeathStar> <Virulent> Illium will kill her again...
<Nyaomi> <Chii> I want her, too.
<DeathStar> <Virulent> Must obey...
<DeathStar> <Virulent> Have to kill everyone that is meant to die
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...haven't felt this lousy since..." *starst to waver and then slumps down again*
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Tell me what we need to know and I'll save her.
<Nyaomi> <Chii> KID!" 6She yells at Chris
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, a blade of energy comes down to decapitate Josephine when a spear blocks it
<Nyaomi> <Chii> You know CPR or not?
<Nyaomi> 6Chii growls, eyeing the spear and blade
<DeathStar> 6* Em stands there, having been tracking Josephine and others, which is her secret at night, in full armor again
<DeathStar> 6* Slash strains and slams Em into the wall, and Em begins to do rapid speed, trying to battle him, while Slash matches her, a beast
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Thanks, Em.
<kalonZombie> 6*Chris screams a girly scream and slides under the bed
<DeathStar> 6* The bedroom begins to get torn up and Em sends Hale al ock on, overriding the comm
<DeathStar> 6* Letting Hale know what is going on
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent looks at Chii
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Sorry, Josie, but I got to do something.
<DeathStar> <Virulent> You will..proteect Caesura..
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale gets everyone available to move
<DeathStar> 6* She asks
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *pulls herself to a wall, leaning against it*
<Nyaomi> 6Chii holds otu a hand with her fingers up. 1"Raiton!" 6She shock blasts Josephine, trying to KO the nanites internally
<DeathStar> 6* Em and Slash keep going at it, when Slash cuts her stomach badly, and cuts her neck. Em runs him through
<DeathStar> 6* The nanites keep multiplying, vicious. They seem to be an advanced future virus
<Nyaomi> <Chii> You guys aren't all doing this because you want to.
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Just help me help you, sweetie.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent aims her hand at Josephine, and a swarm of blackness removes form Jose into her hand and Josephine's body begins to restore
<DeathStar> 6* Slowly getting feeling
<DeathStar> 6* Em slams Slash into the wall with her spear, but Slash cuts her throat and she begins to hurk up blood
<Nyaomi> 6Chii smiles, stroking Virulent's cheek, then eyes Slash and Em, tching.
<DeathStar> 6* Holding her throat, glad she doesn't need to braeathe
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Shit...
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *takes in a deep breath and then aims, firing her pistol at Slash*
<DeathStar> 6* Em rolls back and guts him again and sends him through the roof, the blast from the pistol hitting him too
<Seraphna> * Kumiko and Tabetha move out with Hale.
<Nyaomi> 6Chii rolls a semi auto out of a holster on her thigh and start burst-firing at him to back him off em
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash gets ready to teleport everyone who wants to go
<DeathStar> 6* Slash flies through the roof and rolls along it, and knowing Hale is coming warps out to the road
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Darkness (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* The Zodiac club seems split in half. One second as I go into who is with who
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga, Xander, Aiko, Michelle, Ros and Morrigan are in this group.
<DeathStar> 6* They seem to be floating in a darkness that looks very dark. Morrigan whimpers, pering around. Taiga tries to foeel out Ouka, but something blocks it
<Chainy> <Ros> fuck, wheres the others
<Chainy> 6*Ros looks about
<DeathStar> 6* Jem is here too
<kalonZombie> <Xander> I dunno. Try reading their minds.
<Seraphna> * Michelle peers around, she bites her lower lip. "Is this another Arcana?"
<kalonZombie> <Xander> Seriously, you got dad's TP and you never use it.
<Chainy> 6*Ros makes a face as she tries
<Chainy> <Ros> I'm not getting anything
<Nyaomi> <Jem> Oh no... princess..? Princess!
<DeathStar> 6* As they stand there, faint perfume floats through
<DeathStar> 6* And relaxes their bodies, like pheromones
<kalonZombie> <Xander> So they're either out of range or...
<kalonZombie> 6*Xander smiles and grins at Ros "Hey Ros...~
<Seraphna> * Michelle stops her breathing and peers around, trying to brush it off.
<Chainy> 6*Ros blinks and flusters
<DeathStar> 6* The landscape changes to beauty and full of trees, a garden of eden. A girl is there, wearing leaves and whatnot
<Chainy> <Ros> o-oi
<DeathStar> 6* She seems to have a slight baby bump as she leans on it, and a tarot card on her chest, sowed in, smiling at them
<Chainy> 6*Ros squints
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga falls to her knees, looking out of it, her senses more weak against it. In fact, out of all of them, all their tarot cards are being affected except Xander
<Chainy> <Ros> Empress
<DeathStar> 6* Yet at the same time, Xander is most affected
<Seraphna> MIchelle> "So which one are you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Physically.. only his Tarot card works.
<Nyaomi> <Jem> ... Wh-What's going on?
<DeathStar> 6* AIko and Iko split as their tarot card stops.
<kalonZombie> 6*Xander smiles and looks the girl up and down
<DeathStar> 6* And Morrigan feels her ability to take on all their powers, like Michelle's ability to heal a person of a wound, even if it kills her if they are that wounded, gone
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I-I read that... Empress is weak to...
<DeathStar> 6* She falls over, looking out of it, purring deeply from the pheromones
<DeathStar> 6* The Empress walks to Xander, kissing him
<kalonZombie> 6*Xander kisses her back
<DeathStar> 6* Arms wrapped around him, taking his manhood in hand
<DeathStar> <Ako and Iko> *kiss each other*
<Seraphna> * Michelle keeps trying to fight it, growling a little. "Xander... m-man up...!"
<Chainy> <Ros> weak to what
<DeathStar> <Morrigan> X-Xander, your tarot card is working--you-you must be her opposite!
<DeathStar> <Morrigan> G-go adult!
<kalonZombie> 6*Xander blinks and pulls away "No... sorry... can't... 6*He's trying to fight it, attempting to go adult
<DeathStar> 6* She pushes him down as Xander ages to a nice adult teenager of 19
<DeathStar> <Empress Girl> Don't fight...let us love
<DeathStar> 6* Her tarot card glows, trying to keep him in the lull
<kalonZombie> 6*Xander tries to push her off "Got a girlfriend... Kitty...
<DeathStar> 6* Ako and Iko make out
<DeathStar> 6* The girl frowns, and scorned the area begins to turn dark and deadly
<DeathStar> 6* Vines wrapping around the team
<DeathStar> 6* Their tarot cards still failed
<DeathStar> 6* Morrigan strains, whining
<DeathStar> <Morrigan> Rip her card off!
<kalonZombie> 6*Xander reaches for her card to rip it off
<DeathStar> 6* Vines grab his hand, stopping him. PREPARE YOURSELF TO BREAK FREE
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Lefrt, Right
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<kalonZombie> ddduurlrl
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Xander rips it off and the girl shrieks in pain as the landscape fades and they are back on the hill
<DeathStar> 6* She lays there, a teenage girl of 14 and still pregnate it seems, shivering and eyeihng Xander like he mighit hurt her
<kalonZombie> 6*Xander pants, looking everyone over
<Chainy> 6*Ros rises and looks the girl over
<kalonZombie> <Xander> Don't worry... I'm not going to hurt you, uh... Empress.
<Chainy> <Ros> oh dude...she's knocked up
<DeathStar> <Morrigan> Xander is a bully--knocking girls up
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga rises and looks worried for Ouka
<kalonZombie> <Xander> No Morrigan.
<kalonZombie> <Xander> She means she's pregnant.
<DeathStar> <Morrigan> Oh.
<DeathStar> <Morrigan> What's that?
<DeathStar> 6* Aiko forms again
<kalonZombie> <Xander> She has a baby growing inside her.
<DeathStar> <Morrigan> Babies!
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* The other half find themselves in the void when what appears to be Vanessa is there, naked and her arms reaching out to Ouka
<DeathStar> <Vanessa?> Ouka...
<AquaKoala> *Jade blinks
<Chainy> 6*Kitty rubs her head and winces
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth looks for her Jem, feeling weak. Tarot cards are failing across the board but Ouka's
<Chainy> <Kitty> Vanessa? are you ok?
<DeathStar> <Vanessa> I am now that my dear Ouka is here. *She wraps her arms around her and kisses her deeply*
<Seraphna> * Si whimpers. "My card's not working..."
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Vanessa...!/
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> What...is going on here...?
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor grunts, but he's still really quiet
<Chainy> <Kitty> uhhh
<DeathStar> 6* Ouka can feel like her energy is a little weaker and her mind a little clouded, even in adult form
<Seraphna> * Si blinks. "...Is that really vanessa...?"
<DeathStar> <Vanessa> I love you, Ouka...stay here with me...
<Chainy> 6*Kitty makes a face and tries shoving Vanessa off Ouka
<Seraphna> Si> "...It's a trap!"
<Chainy> <Kitty> knock that off
<DeathStar> 6* She runs her hands over her body. "We will make love forever. Over and over.. I will not even take your virginity like you asked. Just the rest."
<DeathStar> 6* Vanessa stumbles back, and looks angry
<DeathStar> <Vanessa> Do not interfere with my love!
<DeathStar> 6* Her words echo
<DeathStar> 6* They seem to be in a cave
<Chainy> <Kitty> your love? That bitch is with Taiga and besides we need to get the hell out of here
<DeathStar> 6* Like a hermit might live in
<Seraphna> Si> "...Hmm..." *she tries to summon some flame in her hand*
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Senpai... she's right. We need to get you out of here...
<DeathStar> 6* All over the cave is images of Ouka naked in various sexual positions
<AquaKoala> *Jade busts up next to Kitty <Kitty, I think this isn't Vanessa, at least not normal Vanessa>
<Nyaomi> 6Ouka pauses and jerks as she notices the images
<Chainy> 6*Kitty reels at the pictures
<DeathStar> 6* Vanessa waves her hands and Ouka emerge from the walls in their nude poses to grab the group
<Seraphna> Si> "...Totally a trap."
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Wha... what is this!?
<Chainy> <Kitty> what the fuck
<AquaKoala> *Jade reels "Oh god, I've had this nightmare before"
<Chainy> 6*Kitty bites on what she can
<DeathStar> <Vanessa> This is my love chamber. *a hood forms over her head like the Hermit's. Her voice sounding odd*
<AquaKoala> *Jade kicks and punches
<Seraphna> * Si fuus and starts to burn the Ouka grabbing her. "Hey! No touchie! Fire bad!"
<AquaKoala> Jade> Ouka, do something!
<DeathStar> 6* And a tarot card appears, tatooed on her
<Chainy> <Kitty> THE FUCK IS ALL THIS
<DeathStar> 6* Like someone forced it on her, her skin marred
<kalonZombie> <Gor> ...I haven't even done that one... 6*He says, tilting his head at one of them
<DeathStar> 6* The Oukas rub on the group
<DeathStar> <Ouka> We love you senpai! You can do it with us - just not that!
<Seraphna> Si> "I think she's been forced into being Hermit! We need to get that off her somehow."
<Chainy> 6*Kitty vommits
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth smashes one's head in
<AquaKoala> Jade> THIS IS TOO FUCKING WEIRD
<Chainy> <Kitty> fucking sick
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> The Hermit is trying to get in our head
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Ignore the false images
<Seraphna> * Si lights another Ouka on fire.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Remember, the Hermit's cave can be intense pleasure
<AquaKoala> *Jade bursts back and forth rapidly, trying to get loose and form the mech with Kitty
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> So that the hero might not want to leave to continue her journey
<Chainy> <Kitty>why the hell does it have all these pictures of Ouka like a slag
<Seraphna> Si> "This is no Fort Kickass!"
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Because Ouka's card is it's opposite
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> She has to fight it
<Chainy> 6*Kitty tries rippling
<DeathStar> l6* Kitty's non tarot cards work
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> Oh... m-my kamisama..
<DeathStar> 6* Kitty and JAde meet up. As they work down the Oukas
<Chainy> 6*Kitty grabs Jade and mechas out
<DeathStar> 6* Vanessa approaches Ouka and grabs at her. If her tarot card is tatooted on...
<AquaKoala> *Jade brusts around, swiping and firing at Ouka's
<DeathStar> 6* They have to burn it off or rip her skin off
<Seraphna> Si> "Ouka! Snap out of it and resist her! Clean dat belly somehow!"
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth smashes another's face off. However more and more are odcming. Soon they will all die
<DeathStar> 6* In less than a minute. It seems the cave is getting smaller and smaller
<Nyaomi> 6Ouka wastes no hesitation, iaido drawing her blade and slicing shallowly for the tarrot
<Seraphna> Si> "I... I could try burning it? Ewww...."
<Chainy> <Kitty> DO IT
<DeathStar> 6* Vanessa jerks and cries out as her skin is cut, and since Ouka is in adult form it works
<DeathStar> 6* The hood vanishes and the cave anishes and they are back on the hill with the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Vanessa stands there and falls over, twitching and foaming nude, not a normal arcana and so the tarot card has fried her
<Nyaomi> 6Ouka swipes her blade, then sheathes it
<DeathStar> 6* She writhes in agony.
<DeathStar> 6* Near them is the dead maid and the data
<Seraphna> * Si frowns and moves to check on Vanessa. She frowns and pulls the medical kit out of subspace.
<Nyaomi> 6Ouka kneels, feeling Vanessa, trying to calm her chi at the least
<Seraphna> * Michelle rushes over to help Si in stabilizing the girl.
<Nyaomi> <Ouka> V-Vanessa... s-senpai, please...
<Chainy> 6*Kitty deforms and moves for Vaness and the data
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> ... *she touches Jem* I do not like hermits
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga runs over to OUka, and kneels
<AquaKoala> Jade> Ouka, please do not say that like that
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Their sex caves are evil
<AquaKoala> Jade> I'm having flashbacks *Jade shudders
<DeathStar> 6* Vanessa begins to stabilize slowly

<DeathStar> Epilogue 1:
<DeathStar> 6* Hale and company arrive at Josephine's. Caduceus gets out and eyes Em bleeding out and Josephine weak
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus touches Em's neck to heal her. Slash seems to have escaped, but he's another weapon down, as Virulent is in Chii's lap
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale rushes for Em
<Seraphna> * Kumiko takes on Caduceus template and helps him with healing.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha moves over and scans Josephine carefully.
<DeathStar> <Virulent> MustsaveCaesura...
<DeathStar> 6* John looks over it all and sighs in relief. He pers out the window and almost thinks he sees a shuttle taking off
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Prognosis... I feel like crap."
<Nyaomi> <Chii> We'll do it, sweetie. Just stick in there-- help me. I need you.
<Nyaomi> 6Chii strokes Virulent's face.
<Seraphna> Kumiko> "...Help us cure the sick and we will help you." *she looks at Virulent, eyes a bit blank*
<DeathStar> <Virulent> O-Okay...
<Seraphna> * Kumiko checks to see if she'll live in her current state.
<DeathStar> 6* Virulent seems to be okay - for now. Th ough she's not going to be plaguing anyone unless they cut themsleves on her finger or kiss her
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Epilogue 2:
<DeathStar> 6* Vanessa's father leans back, hissing
<DeathStar> <Vanessa's dad> So my daughter lives. I thought the tarot card would kill her. But likely her brain is mush now. No matter, I have to continue and I Can make more heirs. The Illiums are coming and they need me to get things ready
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Epilogue 3:
<DeathStar> *4 days later*
<DeathStar> 6* Shretrav, having been missing all this time, investigating the two planets, is still gone, but Yasha's datapad beeps with a message on the private encoded channel. So far, the Suisen Empire is celebrating. While the Oracle Planet mission (more on that tomorrow) and other stuff is still going on to finish scragglers, no more big fights and only Slash left, it seems it's almsot over. The war is over...
<DeathStar> 6* And with the two planets watched and no sign of a Light Engine Gate here, the Illiums are stopped. Just get Theos and Atheos, and we're done
<Jackieness> <Yasha> *opens the message and reads through it*
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> *her face appears, bloodied* Everyone is wrong! So wrong! There is nothing going on here! They are trying to get everyone to look her and make it so there's a t---
<DeathStar> 6* A flash goes off and Shretrav's face vanishes and the message ends
<DeathStar> *Here
<Jackieness> <Yasha> *clicks on a comm button* "I request an emergency meetign with the empress and her war council."
