<DeathStar> 10-608.10.22 / 10-605.4.7 / April 7th, 2241
<DeathStar> Wind appears back on Earth with the heroes who helped take down Atheos and Theos. He celebrates by grabbing Megumi and molesting her while the others are filled in and greet their families. Wind challenges the manliness of the other men when he uses his powers to give Megumi many orgasms. Yuno hits on her daddy. All in all, it is a moment of celebration and perversion before they step through to the Prime reality to see what's going on.
<DeathStar> They arrive in Prime to find the new temporary Nue household and learn that some of the kids are away on a mission and Isis is away on the PAX which is in hyperspace. Wind teleports the group to Vatican City. There, the operation on Virulent has begun with Airym, Cuddles and Caduceus working on getting the DNA coding they need to cure the virus.
<DeathStar> With crews transferred, the Iron Paw and the PAX make their way through to the location where Athena is supposedly being taken. They come out in the middle of The Corridor, the place the Illium have made their own during their conquest. What they find is a massive, three times as big Light Engine Gate here in the corridor, and twenty Illium vessels moving in on them. The fleet is called, and the battle begins.
<DeathStar> Rosetta and Curali, on a skeleton crewed Avenger, are forced to go on the defensive to make the ship last for the fight. The Iron Paw and the PAX spread out and begin trading blows with the Illium fleet. Slowly the ship carrying Athena and her crew gets further and further from them as fighters scatter, Zephyr and Megumi taking flight with Justice and Rin, the two fighting their way through the fleet for the ship. Meanwhile, the Tower is hit on the PAX and 1A-1C collapses in on itself. The Iron Paw takes heavier and heavier blows.
<DeathStar> Justice rams into the bridge of the ship carrying Athena, taking it out, and forcing her out of Mech form. She and Rin float in the cold of space as Megumi and Zephyr fly in to retrieve them and the pod, narrowly avoiding death themselves before racing back. As this all happens, the broken down Interceptor arrives with Wind aboard and he begins to decimate the remaining fleet, however, even his power is rebounded when a truly massive ship begins to come out of the gate.
<DeathStar> The Iron Paw is split in two and Wind is awoken just in time to warp those Famfrits sucked out into space onto the PAX for safekeeping. Zephyr and Megumi deposit Athena, Jennifer, Robb and Typhoon along with Justice and Rin, helped aboard by Mem and Katrina. While Jennifer rushes to Rin's aid, the battle moves on and the Avenger crashes into the gate to destroy it, Curali and Rosetta warping a second too late. The gate's destruction cuts the huge system class ship in half, but it keeps going. The Suisen Fleet arrives and together, the survivors work to devastate the ship, greatly helped when Tsuki unleashes godly wrath on it, destroying it before it can destroy them.
<DeathStar> Rosetta and Curali are recovered during the blast and the fleet, the PAX, and the Iron Paw's remains in tow move out to escape the blast zone. Another gate down, and the battle won for now. With Rin in intensive care due to long space exposure and the Avenger lost in the battle, the team walks away bruised. Ama's rescue operation into the tower finds Erevis and Isis, along with Leyaeh alive, but damaged. The peoples of the Tower will have to build a new home.
<DeathStar> 10-608.10.24 / 10-605.4.9 / April 9th, 2241
<DeathStar> John's team, unsure of where Ripple is, decides to fulfill their mission of at least tagging the source of the disturbance the Suisen Empire wants them to look into and heads out. The kids in a nearby hideout decide to make their move on the assemblage of religious orders nearby, suspecting an Arcana behind their strange behavior.
<DeathStar> Breaking into the place turns out to be a relatively easy task, up until they run into guard monks with totally powerful centers of peace. The group however manages to overcome them, and forces them into a cell that they take Jade to. After dealing with them, they move into the meeting hall to find the Heirophant, a small 12 year old girl with Ulieah like qualities hypnotizing the masses. The group comes to face her and Si is the first to find that her powers can be quite overloading. Si disabled, the rest try to overcome this worshipful fangirl, but it's Ros, who faces her in a battle of the flatchested and the boobed. Ros is able to overcome the girl and takes her card from her, disabling her.
<DeathStar> On Earth, families reuinte while in the Lab, Caduceus finishes a working prototype of the virus. Jennifer back and able to assist, they have one more helper to synthesize the cure while they decide to test it on Zephyr first, she being the worst case at the moment and the closest at hand for a test.
<DeathStar> 10-608.10.26 / 10-605.4.11 / April 11, 2241
<DeathStar> Aboard the Flag Ship, Em is given the injection as it seems to be working, however, Em has already slipped into a sort of coma. She begins to awaken as they locate the Light Gate in this area, and before they can tag it, shit hits the fan. Warned only with a few seconds when Tabetha's scan into the future causes her brain to shut down by what she feels, the girl collapses just before the ship freezes up and the Illium take notice, as it feels like the World is about to end.
<DeathStar> On the Zodiac shuttle, the group sees John's ship going out like a light. Knowing it's time, they suit up and those with Gear forms blast into space after a girl who floats outside the Gate. The World Arcana begins to summon planets into being, and the group knows if any of them touch her, it's game over for the reality. They rush into battle and are split up, having to each fight one of six growing planets. One by one the split groups succeed and find themselves trapped in black hole fields.
<DeathStar> Trapped, they start to feel their power drained as those fields replace the planet functions. Taiga leads by example, and the group start to destroy their own Arcana cards in order to stop the drain the World is having on them. Taiga slams the remains of her card back on and surges out at The World Arcana, she releases Suzu, Mitsu and Ouka from their bond while the team can only watch as Taiga lays down her life to end the threat. The three are ejected and Michelle flies around scooping everyone up.
<DeathStar> All that's left of Taiga is ashes in space. Si'Chii collects them and brings them back to the shuttle. They take everyone back on board the shuttle, even the now powerless World Arcana, and begin to head home, the Zodiac without their leader.
<DeathStar> The shuttles land on Earth, and the kids move to meet back up with their parents. Here, they have to inform everyone that Taiga is dead. Wind announces that something is blocking him from restoring Taiga back to life. Si hands Cheryl the box containing her daughter's ashes, and the entire group reels from their losses. Victory for the day is attained, but at a heavy cost, and the loss of ones that were truly loved. Even if they tried to stay away.

And Now...

With Kitty taking over the school and making her own Student Council to rule it, and Ako and Iko making the Kitty Council to take over the Elementary School, James is out of a job, not that Cheryl or Erevis have noticed with all the chaos going on. The Illium seem to be defeated - yet again - with a bloody nose and two of their reality hole Light Gates gone.

<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Kit> <Ceras> Zera no come ;A;
<DeathStar> 10-608.11.6
<DeathStar> 10-605.4.23 / April 23rd, 2241 (Alt/Class)
<DeathStar> Location: PAX (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* After celebrating Hiko's birthday, Erevis has brought forth a meeting in the new conference room in security. Comprised of Yasha, Erevis, Ama, Ao, Megumi, Leyaeh, Tess, Angela, Wind, Warren, Cheryl, Miyuki, and other important key figures, they are meeting with the New EarthGov President, Bob Milton
<Chain> 6*Ama and Miyu sigh, letting their breasts rest on the new table
<kalonZombie> 6*Hi sits next to Miyu
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is dressed, though her clothes are wrinkled, and Warren is there, observing, and Wind is in the corner, talking to himself it seems. Warren and Benjamin Carmichael observe him quietly
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh sits calmly as usual, in security there are more armed guards than in other places, but then again, this is their base. Angela is dressed nicely for the occasion and sits by Tess.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis, present due to the fact she's been dealing with New EarthGov and their religious element all this time, is beside Erevis with all the paperwork when Milton begins to speak calmly, a man in 60's, balding and a little pudgy.
<DeathStar> <Milton> With what you have sent us, President Arakawa, we have learned these Illium have been manipulating our religious element and they are not happy. Empress Zhenmei's daughter tell us that was to cause a war between the Suisen Empire and ourselves?
<DeathStar> <Tess> It seems quite likely. <Milton> And your elite group brought down their group behind it?
<DeathStar> 6* Tess shares a glance with the others, since John's group didn't actually defeat the Arcana
<DeathStar> 6* Wind talks to himself, as if this exchange means nothing to him
<Seraphna> * Angela nods softly.
<DeathStar> <Tess> There's still other elements down, but the group behind the religious attack is taken care of, yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Milton leans back. "New EarthGov would like to offer what help we can. I have told our planets to lay off their demands of yours, especially in light that they were being controlled, and offer free travel through our territory if it helps catch the Illium ships and ends this war so things return to normal."
<DeathStar> <Tess> That's most generous.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hi smiles and nods
<DeathStar> <Milton> We cannot offer ships, but we will share data and telemetery of our ships with yours. We just ask that you do the same while this conflict goes on
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That seems reasonable. *she glances at Yasha and Ama, since Yasha represents the Senate*
<Chain> 6*Ama nods
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "I will tkae it to the Senate. Please be aware that our member states may individually raise objections."
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh listens quietly, she watches Milton, good at this point at getting a read on people without being obvious about it.
<DeathStar> 6* HE seems to be on the up and up. He stands up and moves otu of the room
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is a bit of good news. 6* She folds her hands as he leaves.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Not getting any bad vibes on this guy."
<Kit> 6Chii squeezes Cheryl
<kalonZombie> <Hi'Saa> He seems very trustworthy.
<Chain> <Ama> we need some...
<Chain> 6*Miyuki sits and watches him, trying to sense
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl squeezses back
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "If I may speak franky, I can foresee the Ascendancy and the Tsivirsh Empire both being uncomfortable with such an open borders policy... given recent troubles for both."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I think you misunderstood the conversation
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Yasha
<DeathStar> 6* Warren cups his hands together
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "They really just agreed to let us into their space without incident, so long as we share information to identify each other's ships."
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "Ah, I see. Then I do not foresee any objections."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Now that we can move through the New EarthGov's territory without having to sneak, the Illium have less territory to hide in, since the Suisen Empire covers much of the known space. 6* He notes, since almost every major race has joined
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "That just leaves Unknown Space." *she smiles a little bit, wryly*
<DeathStar> <Ao> We still need leads to find out what is going on. Cuddles has resumed her experiments on Tsunedere
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "Or working with secret allies within our own borders. I am still concerned with the Senate budget allocations."
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "And evidence of what we found out about the Illiums is that we have a lot of space left to discover. They have DNA from species we haven't even met yet."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. Which brings us back to those two planets.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "And Shretrav's message about them."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki foxholes since she didnt get a good read on Milton and wants to at the very least
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Warren, Cheryl, now that Classic has been freed, I was wondering if you could call upon some of their reserves to investigate the buildings there, trap or not. We need tangible evidence. Also, Benjamin handed over what Kitty and the other children gave them after dealing with the Arcana
<DeathStar> <Wind> ... *he warps out without a word*
<DeathStar> <Warren> I will go over the information - keep on Cuddles to keep picking through what they got from Ashcroft. We might want to bring him in
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns to eye Wind going
<DeathStar> <Benjamin> Anyone noticed him talking to himself?
<kalonZombie> <Hi'Saa> Yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods slowly. "The powers are driving him insane. I say he has days at best, and that's if he doesn't use the powers."
<Chain> <Ama> what would be the best course of action
<DeathStar> <Benjamin> And why hasn't he split the powers? <Cheryl> We haven't found anyone that we feel safe to do so with yet. <Warren> And why not you? <Cheryl> ... 6* She peers down, Taiga's death having set her back
<Seraphna> Angela> "That should be obvious."
<Kit> <Chii> What's the problem with me doing so?
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "I fear that you are now discussing things which are... a bit outside my experience."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'd rather hit you with my car.
<Kit> <Chii> There's a lot of things you'd rather. I'd prefer they went to my sister, but I don't want to see her corrupted.
<Kit> <Chii> As far as corruption and voices in the head goes, I doubt there's anyone better than me.
<Seraphna> Angela> "We should consider some members of the teams that show emotional stability or control. Maybe someone out of the usual circles."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren cups his hands together. "Tess, Angela, get John's team to bring in this Ashcroft. I'll speak to Ire and see if his SPecial Unit will go to these planets. Yasha can begin to look into the Senate trail."
<Kit> <Chii> And Cheryl gives you a direct method to monitor.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Unfortunately, you are a poor candidate.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren rises
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "I will uncover this."
<Kit> <Chii> Well, if you say so, Mr. Pill popper.
<Kit> 6Chii shrugs.
<Chain> 6*Ama studies Warren
<Chain> <Ama> why not you
<Seraphna> Angela> "We should also consider candidates with a low or no alternate selves in the Trinity."
<Kit> 6Chii eyes Ama. 1"I'd rather he hit me with his car.
<Seraphna> Angela> "The enemy has a history of capturing alternate reality users to experiment on."
<Kit> <Chii> I suggested myself because I've dealt with my demons. That man's will likely never stop.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> So that takes me out of voulenteering for them...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pops a pill and eyes Ama
<Seraphna> * Angela dials up John's unit and gives out the standing orders.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He didn't pick you, Chii, because of your abilities and how you came to be, it's nothing personal
<Chain> 6*Ama smiles and doesnt add more
<Kit> <Chii> 'Cause I might go insane and start draining the souls out of everyone?
<Chain> 6*Ana moves to Erevis and kisses her cheek
<Chain> Ama^
<Jackieness> <Yasha> *rises* "By your leave, I should start looking into matters."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yours powers of souls, and that you have eaten souls. That might lead to a take over within, and quicker insanity
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And not just in weeks, but days
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh sits back, thinking. She muses as she seems to consider candidates to suggest, but isn't going to bring them up in the meeting.
<DeathStar> 6 *She wonders if the Spirit situation was Mioyu's last straw
<Kit> <Chii> I thought about that of course...
<Kit> <Chii> But I guess there's no point in dwelling on it.
<Kit> 6She rubs her head. 1"But I want what I have. I have no interest in more power or anything. If you ask me, I can't think of anyone else less flawed anymore."
<Kit> <Chii> Maybe one of the kids-- but that's...
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Earth (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* John gathers his group in their command center overlooking the Vatican City. Lorelei is geared up, armor locked in place, and John is locking his own armor on as well
<DeathStar> <John> The powers that be want us to hold off keeping the peace and looking for Slash to bring in a Brian Ashcroft
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale and Ash are geared up as well
<Seraphna> * Peter is doing similar and checking his rifle, Tabetha suited up already.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "What do you have on this Ashcroft?" *spoken as she checks her pistol*
<Aqua> *Del secures his armour, putting his rifle together
<DeathStar> <John> He's one of the world's richest billionares.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Corrupt billionaire. That's real original."
<Seraphna> Peter> "And his daughter was sent to the PAX's hospital to put her back together on the same night your mansion was attacked, Jose."
<DeathStar> <John> He owns the lands and buildings of some of the most important places around the world, including around Vatican City. Your mansion, Josephine, that you're holding onto here, belongs to him and he's your neighbor
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Wow, you and my brother sure know how to pick 'em, Jose.
<DeathStar> <John> He's the world's number one holder, outside Cheryl, of General Cran's writings and memoirs and is an advent collector of his materials
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "And that always indicates good things."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Should see my safe deposit box then." *holsters her pistol*
<DeathStar> 6* He marches down to the van and climbs into the driver seat
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei climbs into the back
<Aqua> *Del slings his rifle and climbs in
<Seraphna> * Tabetha and Peter get in. Peter taps his comm to Kumiko with a sequence.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale and Ash climb in
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *climbs in and buckles up* "Just makes it personal, is all."
<DeathStar> 6* John brings in Mem as back up on this, since this is Cran related
<Kit> 6Mem will join asap she responds.
<DeathStar> <John> We assume he's corrupt, due to the fact of I.L.L.I.U.M Project being in his files, as well as some of his buildings being used by the Arcana and Weapons, but he also leases out and rents out, which does not immediately tie him to anything
<DeathStar> <John> *Begins to drive along*
<DeathStar> <John> His daughter vanished from the hospital after bneing there for a week, so we can't question her, but from what she did remember after recovering was little - her mind for a short period was wiped.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Some people say that there is no such thing as coincidence."
* Aqua has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
* Aqua has joined #Session424
<DeathStar> 6* Something lands on the van's roof as they drive to the rich area
<Seraphna> Peter> "They teleported to Tokyo, that's all Leyaeh was able to give us."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Something up top." *looks up*
<DeathStar> 6* Em stands there, arms crossed
<DeathStar> 6* Geared up
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Hey babe.
<Seraphna> * Peter peeks out. "Kinda windy up there, want to come in?"
<DeathStar> 6* Em swings in and lands on Hale's lap
<DeathStar> 6* John arrives at the mansion, passing Josephine's mansion and parks
<DeathStar> 6* He climbs out and Em swings out
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei steps out and looks around. John approaches slowly and carefully, weapon in hand and his gauntlet on
<Aqua> *Drl steps ou
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale and Ash step out
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "The mansion isn't mys tyle anyway... too Old World. I prefer more modern." *steps out of the van*
<Seraphna> * Peter and Tabetha climb out. Tabetha appears unarmed, but her guns are always summonable. Peter keeps his guns under his long coat.
<DeathStar> 6* As they walk across the fancy yard with hedge animals that seem to eye them, they reach the door where a butler answers
<DeathStar> <Butler> Yeeees?
<DeathStar> 6* John holds up a warrant. "We have a warrant to search the house.? <Butler> I am afraid I cannot let you in without the master's permission. <John> Either let me in, or I'll arrest you for obstruction of justice, and shoot you in the ass for good measure
<DeathStar> 6* The Butler sniffs. "You will be hearing from my lawyer."
<DeathStar> 6* John pushes him aside and walks in
<kalonZombie> <Hale> We look forward to it. 6*He and Ash walk in
* Aqua has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
* Aqua has joined #Session424
<AquaKoala> *Del follows
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *steps in past the butler*
<Seraphna> * Peter steps in and Tabetha starts listening for surface thoughts around them.
<DeathStar> 6* They find themselves in a fine entrance with an ancient looking staircase, remodeled and fancy, going upstairs, and two ways to the left and right, and one going forward into the back
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Split up?
<DeathStar> <John> Split up and tear this place apart; I want anything we can get before the master of the house returns.
<DeathStar> <Em> There should be areas we concentrate
<DeathStar> <Em> Studios, offices, bedrooms
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei muses and heads up for Vanessa's bedroom, to see if she hid anything else
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "On it." *starts moving to search*
<AquaKoala> *Del moves to search
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Got it. 6*Hale starts heading to look for them, Ash heading upstairs to search bedrooms
<DeathStar> 6* John heads for Ashcroft's studio
<Seraphna> * Tabetha nods and starts to move around, feeling out for vibes while she searches, Peter does a more trained investigator sort of search, he checks the master bedroom.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *moves for the office*
<DeathStar> 6* Hale would see Ashcroft's fabulous bedroom, which is a huge bedroom with a large bed, bathroom, a desk, drawer, walk-in closet.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha looks for offices as she feels out.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale goes to check the walk-in closet first
<DeathStar> 6* The studio/office seems to tbe same thing, as they enter. IT's a large room with tons of bookshelves/cases, a large desk, a large painting of Cran, several smaller paintings - 3 of them, a large rug, and a fire place
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes it as he stands there. Em meanwhile heads downstairs into the basement
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *eyes the painting of Cran and check along the frame and behind it*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash looks for an attic
<DeathStar> 6* Hale would see a light as he enters
<Seraphna> * Peter turns out dressers and desk drawers in the bedroom.
<DeathStar> 6* Ash can tell there should likely be an attic, but no sign of stairs going up
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale turns the light on
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash tries to teleport up to it

* Kit has joined #Session424-MasterBedroom
<DeathStar> 6* Stuff needed to wake up in the morning, as well as clothing and nightly magazines come falling out of the drawers, while in the walk-in closet, Hale sees tons of suits and clothing
<DeathStar> 6* As well as a mirror in the back, a full sized mirror
<DeathStar> 6* There's also drawers in the back, lining the entire closet space
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale checks behind the mirror to see if there's anything behind it like a safe or door
<DeathStar> 6* The mirror tips over as he checks it and falls toward him, attacking
<Seraphna> * Peter rifles through the things as this happens, before moving to check the bed.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale steps out of the way and tries to catch it
<DeathStar> 6* Behind the mirror is a safe indeed, with a high tech combination system that Eluere might could crack, since it's not electronic
<kalonZombie> 6*See main session room for Hale's reaction
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Oi, Petie, got a safe for you to crack.
<Seraphna> * Peter turns over the mattress while Tabetha arrives to check over the safe.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale steps to the side to let Tab look over it
<Seraphna> * Tabetha uses her engineering skills, working out the combination carefully with a tool and a sounding device.
<DeathStar> 6* It soon clinks and inside is a datapad.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha takes it out and looks it over carefully, checking for traps and such before trying to get it working.
<DeathStar> 6* It looks encypted.
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Send it off to Gor. He could probably crack that faster then it takes to send it to him.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha nods and makes a quick copy of the device before sending it off.
<kalonZombie> <Hale> We done here Pete?
<Seraphna> Peter> "Yeah, nothing good here, let's join the others."

* kalonZombie has joined #Session424-StudioOffice
* Jackieness has joined #Session424-StudioOffice
* AquaKoala has joined #Session424-StudioOffice
<DeathStar> 6* The painting can come off. John checks the five drawers, rfinding a few open, except one
* Seraphna has joined #Session424-StudioOffice
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *moves the painting to see if there is anything behind it on the wall or concealed within the backing of the painting itself*
* Kit has joined #Session424-StudioOffice
<DeathStar> 6* The painting wall looks like a normal wall. Is it?
<DeathStar> 6* John tries to pick the drawer
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *knocks on the wll a few time because who really keeps a painting of her old boss anyway?*
<Seraphna> * Tabetha peers around, checking over the office desk.
<DeathStar> 6* The wall is solid. An alarm goes off, it seems to be a trap for thieves.
<DeathStar> 6* The butler arrives to turn off the alarm, scowling
<DeathStar> 6* John stops picking, looking casual
<DeathStar> 6* The butler moves out
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Too obvious then." *moves on*
<DeathStar> <John> Maybe one of the smaller paintings? Then taht is likely obvious too
<DeathStar> 6* Oddly, one of the paintings of the wall is of a vase of flowers that is on the desk
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *checks the vase on the desk*
<DeathStar> 6* The flowers in it are fake
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *takes the flowers out of the vase*
<DeathStar> 6* The ends of the flowers all have odd shapes and edges, like they are inserted into something
<Seraphna> * Tabetha heads to the bedroom.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Well, well, well... this is interesting." *moves over to the painting with the flowers*
<DeathStar> 6* It shows an area on the second floor near the master bedroom, step on a table
<DeathStar> 6* John breaks open the des kfinally and pulls out papers.
<DeathStar> 6* John flips through them.
<DeathStar> <John> Transactions - property on New EarthGov's planets... Guardia where the kidnapping happened...
<DeathStar> <John> The club...
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Pieces fitting into place then."
<DeathStar> 6* John walks back over and tries comming Ash but gets static
<DeathStar> <John> Hmmm...
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "I've got to go check this clue out."
<DeathStar> 6*H e walks out, this area done
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *heads out*
Session Close: Tue Apr 01 20:38:43 2014

<DeathStar> 6* Em walks along the basement, turbning on the light as she goes down. Ash teleports up into the attic and is not seen from again
<AquaKoala> *Del moves with Em, using a torch and looking around
<DeathStar> 6* Em eyes a furnance as she looks around, as well as what appears to be a large table with straps, and some dried red stuff on the ground
<AquaKoala> *Del kneels by the red, looking it over and feeling it
<DeathStar> 6* It's dried, whatever it is.
<DeathStar> 6* Em moves to a solid wall and muses, wondering why the basement is so small.
<AquaKoala> *Del scratches a bit with his knife and puts it in a baggie
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Anybody here adept at getting into safes? I got one up here in the master bedroom.
<DeathStar> 6* Em knocks along the wall, finding it rather solid, except one area
<AquaKoala> Del> Peter can
<Seraphna> Peter> "Somewhat, you want Tabetha."
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Tabby, come find me in the closet in the master bedroom.
<AquaKoala> *Del looks over the furnace, opening it up
<DeathStar> 6* There's ashes inside
<AquaKoala> *Del sifts through them
<DeathStar> 6* There's nothing inside that is obvious. Em forms her weapon and uses the spear on the weak spot and it falls in, revealing a hidden chamber with a camera set up and a chair. There's a passage that likely leads into the sewers
<AquaKoala> *Del looks at the cameras, looking for wires
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be a simple recording camera you set up
<DeathStar> 6* Em opens it up and takes out the data chip
<AquaKoala> Del> Love the creepy fucking dungeons
<AquaKoala> *Del looks inside the passage
<DeathStar> 6* Sewers.
<DeathStar> <Em> Must be an escape passage, or how the weapons and Arcana came in and out unnoticed.
<AquaKoala> *Del rubs his head and nods
<AquaKoala> *Del moves for the strapped table
<DeathStar> 6* Em moves bac up
<DeathStar> 6* John meets up with Em as she steps out and moves upstairs.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei exits Vanessa's room, looking grim and upset.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *heads upstairs to the table near the master bedroom and looks it over*
<DeathStar> 6* Holding a folder in her hand
<Kit> 6A shadow looms over Lorelei as she exits
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei whips to attack
<Kit> 6Mem jerks to catch it. 1"Lorelei?"
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale moves to join up with Em and John
<DeathStar> 6* The vase is empty and has four slots in it
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei pauses, her hand not holding the folder un glowing
<DeathStar> 6* John nods to Em slowly
<DeathStar> <John> Mem
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *inserts the flowers into the corresponding slots*
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei goes to slide the folder she found into her backpack
<Kit> <Mem> You seem upset," 6She notes to Lorelei, then nods to John, moving to meet him
<DeathStar> 6* An attic door slides open and a dampening field drops.
<DeathStar> 6* Stairs land in the hallway
<DeathStar> 6* John looks up and works his way up, taking his gun. Lorelei grimaces at Mem's words
<Seraphna> * Tabetha peers around as they join the others. Peter taking out a gun.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Just found the way to the attic. Soem type of field was running too."
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale moves his way up as well, taking out his gun
<DeathStar> 6* Em tells everyone what she and Del found, and hands John the datachip
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *starts up the stairs*
<DeathStar> 6* John pockets it and works his way up; as they enter the attic, they see advanced Illium equipment set up here, set up to maintain the weapons, and device that has been counting down for a while. Ash is just now beginning to move, the dampening field gone now
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale tells Em what they found
<AquaKoala> *Del follows
<AquaKoala> *Del reels and moves for the count down
<DeathStar> 6* The device, at 1 minute, seems to have been ticking since Ash teleported up and triggered it
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Wwwhhhhhhhhat happened? Is it Sunday already?
<Seraphna> * Tabetha blinks and rushes over,she sees what she can do to disarm it.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Bomb!"
<DeathStar> <John> Damn!
<DeathStar> 6* Em speeds over and looks over all the advanced equipmnent, seeing it's some sort of blackhole
<AquaKoala> *Del makes a face "Tab!"
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash reels, moving to see how he can help disable it
<DeathStar> 6* The device looks like it's light years beyond anything any of them have seen
<DeathStar> 6* And it's at 45 seconds
<kalonZombie> <Ash> We need to either evac NOW or get this off.
<DeathStar> 6* John opens a channel to Asteroid C and PAX, telling them both what they're seeing
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "This is super beyond even me!"
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Can you teleport it or something?"
<AquaKoala> Del> Ash, how far out can you teleport?
<Kit> <Mem> Was about to say..
<Seraphna> * Tabetha peers around desperately for a means to stop it. "W-We'd have to do it fast!"
<DeathStar> <John> PAX, can you lock onto these coordinates?
<kalonZombie> <Ash> If I use travel teleport, I can go anywhere on the planet
<DeathStar> 6* John sets his datapad onto the device, at 25 seconds
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Though I shut down. Uses too much power for me to use like that.
<DeathStar> <Ao> It'll take us a few seconds - there's a ton of interference coming from that
<AquaKoala> *Del backs up
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "You have 25."
<Seraphna> * Tabetha backs up.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash and Hale back up
<Seraphna> * PEter tenses.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "If we cna get any of this hardware into a lab, that would be a major coup."
<DeathStar> <John on comm> Do it, if that goes offo n Earth...
<DeathStar> 6* Love can be heard on the comm, talking about how to get Robb to put more power into the teleporters
<DeathStar> 6* The counter hits 10 seconds
<kalonZombie> 6*Robb gives it to them
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei makes a face
<DeathStar> 6* A teleporter beam b egins to form around it slowly, distorting
<Kit> 6Mem grabs Lorelei, making her own face
<DeathStar> 6* 7 seconds
<DeathStar> 6* It begins to get stronger
<DeathStar> 6* At 4 seconds, the bomb vanishes
<Seraphna> * Tabetha takes a breath.
<AquaKoala> *Del sighs in relief
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale lets out a breath he didn't know he was holding
<Kit> 6Mem scoffs, setting Lorelei back down
<DeathStar> 6* At that moment, Brian Ashcroft walks up from below
<DeathStar> <Brian> What are you doing up here?! <John> You, sir, are under arrest.
<DeathStar> <John> Feel free to hit him if anyone wants
<Kit> 6Mem speads forward, a knife to his neck and one to the spleen
<DeathStar> 6* Brian jerks, eyes widening at Mem
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "High treason."
<AquaKoala> Del> MEM
<kalonZombie> <Ash> You had a black hole bomb thingie!
<Kit> 6She blinks, then cracks him in the nose with her elbow
<DeathStar> 6* He howls, holding his bleeding nose
<Kit> <Mem> A fucking bomb!? You psycho!
<kalonZombie> <Hale> MEM WHAT THE FUCK?!
<DeathStar> <Brian> You un-educated---fuck--twat.
<DeathStar> <Brian> W-what bomb?!
<Kit> <Mem> What, John said I could
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "The one we just barely stopped set to unleash a black hole on Earth."
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Stabbing isn't hitting!
<DeathStar> <John> You're telling me you didn't know you had a black hole bomb in your own attic.
<Kit> 6Mem huffs, subspacing her blades.
<Kit> <Mem> I didn't stab him
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "It would have erradicated the planet."
<DeathStar> <Brian> Why--would I --do such a thing--
<DeathStar> <Brian> My business--is here..
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Mem, down girl! ..wher eis the butler?"
<kalonZombie> <Hale> ...The butler!
<Seraphna> Peter> "He wouldn't, the Illium would."
<DeathStar> <John> It seems your partners thought you were expendable
<Kit> <Mem> Looks like your usefulness ran up
<AquaKoala> Del> Regardless, there was one here, and also a fucking creepy torture dungeon in the basement
<DeathStar> 6* The butler, meanwhile, peels his face off, far away, and Slash laughs
<Seraphna> Peter> "...How many other safeholds of this stuff have you set up around the planet?"
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Interceptor (Earth)
<DeathStar> 6* Ire, Ty Hawk, Uplink, Cassandra Arakawa Classic, Atay, Teddy, XX, Alt Marshall, and Null are gathered before Warren and Cheryl
<AquaKoala> *Teddy sits
<DeathStar> (Atay and Anya)
<Seraphna> * Anyata peers quietly, armor currently dismissed in a tank top and jeans. Green hair tied back.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We need you to go to these two planets in Prime here and investigate what might be a trap. It could be a death trap, and is highly likely to be a one way trip to hell.
<Chain> <Marshall> Alright
<DeathStar> <Warren> But we have no leads into the Illium's plans and we need something before they strike again. Wind mumbled something about there still being holes in reality
<AquaKoala> *Teddy nods
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra hangs on her daddy bear
<DeathStar> 6* Alt Ash is brought in, with a golden leg to replace his old one
<AquaKoala> *Teddy is wearing his pirate hat
<Seraphna> Anyata> "So more of these gate things."
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra wears her pirate hat. Meanwhile, the Enforcer/Striker is being upgraded with the parts of the Avenger up in space to become the Avenging Striker
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash smiles, loving the gold leg
<Jackieness> <XX> "And if we find something, what then?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps buttons and Zera's dragon ship is shown to be their ride there, having been brought over by Wind's powers
<Kit> <Null> That's usually the kind of thing I survive... so... I guess I understand why you'd ask me..
<DeathStar> <Warren> Document it, learn whatever you can
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then get the hell out
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Dah
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Got it.
<DeathStar> 6* C. Aya is already on board with Zera, working on the controls, and Chou is there as well, waving at Null. Ire, Ty. Hawk, Uplink, Cass, and Atay walk up the ramp and head to the bridge.
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Getting the hell out is a favorable tactic."
<Jackieness> <XX> *boards the ship*
<Chain> 6*Marshall climbs in
<DeathStar> 6* Ire rubs his head, his headaches having been getting bad lately, a reminder that he's living on borrowed time for a while now since being ressurected improperly
<AquaKoala> *Teddy pads in iwth Cass
<Seraphna> * Anyata walks with them. Jonas on board to help out as a mechanic. All grown up like his twin, Lucas.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash gets in
<Kit> <Null> Hey Chou
<DeathStar> <Warren> *He casually marks them all off as likely dead or MIA*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him
<DeathStar> <Warren> Shretrav seemed like the type not to lie
<DeathStar> 6* He moves off
<Kit> 6Ceras is glomped onto Zeraphna
<DeathStar> <Ire> *pops five pain pills all at once* Everyone situated?
<DeathStar> 6* Zera eyes Ceras and frowns
<DeathStar> <Zera> What are you doing here, Ceras? You should be home.
<DeathStar> 6* She sits in her captain's chair, refusing to give it to Ire, who eyes her, fingering his gun
<Kit> <Ceras> I can help! Wanted to be with Zeramama!
<Chain> <Marshall> yep
<DeathStar> <Zera> We're likely going to die
<Chain> 6*he closes his eyes
<DeathStar> <Zera> I don't want you here
<Kit> 6Ceras suddenly leers at Ire-- as if sensing the threat.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire leans forward and taps a button
<Kit> <Ceras> I completed your guardian dragon!
<DeathStar> <Ire> Take off now.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship lifts off and the ramp closes, flying off
<DeathStar> 6* Zera glares at Ire
<DeathStar> <Ire> What? She always tries to get on and I'm tired of waiting all the time
<Kit> <Ceras> We're bonded, aren't we? I'm your inugami!
<DeathStar> 6* Zera growls
<DeathStar> 6* Reaching for Ire
<Seraphna> Jonas> "She doesn't even try sneaking on like we used to..."
<Kit> <Ceras> If it's dangerous, we should be together.
<DeathStar> <Zera> *Rubs face* Just stay close, Ceras.
<DeathStar> 6* C. Aya looks at Null and smiles
<Kit> <Ceras> Of course!
<DeathStar> <Aya> IT's been a long time since we had a mission, huh, Null?
<Kit> <Null> Both Chou and Aya, huh? Yeah." 6She nods.
<Kit> <Null> You two still getting along?
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra leans on a machine near Marshall and smiles at him. "Hello handsome." 6* She notes, since his face is repaired.
<DeathStar> 6* Chou shrugs. "I showed her who was boss a while back and since then she knows you're mine and not her's."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya jerks and stares, huffing
<Kit> <Null> Eh? How so?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya doses Chou in pheromones and Chou sways
<DeathStar> <Chou> Mistress Aya, can I massage you?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yes please
<DeathStar> 6* Aya leans forward and Chou begins to back massage
<DeathStar> <Aya> To answer your question, we get along fine
<Seraphna> * Anyata leans on Atay quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Atay meanwhile spins her blade as they fly through hyperspace, looking out quietly
<Kit> 6Null eyes them, then laughs softly.
<Kit> <Null> Good. Can we spend tonight together? It has been a while
<Kit> 6Ceras hugs on Zera and beams.
<Chain> <Marshall>...yes?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Alright. Lets do it
<DeathStar> 6* Aya moves off with Null
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Want to go to the mess hall and grab a bite to eat?
<Kit> 6Null grabs Chou and drags her with
<Jackieness> <XX> *crosses her arms and tilts her head back, looking at the ceiling*
<Seraphna> Anyata> "We do this as a duo."
<DeathStar> <Atay> *She hugs her*
<DeathStar> <Atay> Of course, sis
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra is playing with Teddy's fur
<AquaKoala> *Teddy is seated next to her
<DeathStar> 6* Assuming Marshall's answer, Cassandra either goes to eat supper with him, or Teddy
<DeathStar> -sCENE SHIFRT-
<DeathStar> 6* Using the PAX's engines installed to go faster, they arrive later that night come out of the system, Zera cloaking the ship and approaching on a quiet vector
<DeathStar> 6* Zeraphna leans forward, studying while Aya is on scanners, studying the sensors.
<DeathStar> 6* Zera has happened up the 6 gunner chairs to people
<DeathStar> 6* And four pilot chairs
<DeathStar> 6* This being a rather large ship, 4 times as big as Serenity
<Chain> 6*Marshall eyes them all with uncertainty
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash takes a gunner seat
<Seraphna> * Anyata sits at a gunner chair.
<DeathStar> 6* As they approach the two planets, which seem to be twin planets that are in shared orbits, every few decades switching their orbit vector around their sun, Zera comes in toward the planet. Chou takes a gunner seat
<DeathStar> 6* While Atay takers another gunner
<DeathStar> 6* Ire observes, and Ty takes a pilot seat
<DeathStar> 6* Uplink, hooked up to the system with his computer lover, speaks out loud
<DeathStar> <Uplink> Da, there is massive readings coming from main planet up ahead. <Zera> Bring us in then
<Jackieness> <XX> *plants her hands on her hips as she observes the twin worlds*
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Neat.
<DeathStar> 6* They fly in low and are soon flying over the planet's surface. They see the dark planetscape that is like many worlds, but a lot of Progenitor tech and buildings already built at a surprising rate, a sign of the accelerating building schedule if the Senate approves it
<DeathStar> 6* The areas with the most progenitor tech has pushed back the perptual dark clouds that seem to hang over Tsiv worlds and it looks like a greenish blue sky
<Chain> 6*Marshall tries to take photos of it
<DeathStar> 6* And the dark/black city is being transformed into what looks like a circular city, in the shape of a light gate
<DeathStar> 6* Ire frowns, tapping his chin as they fly along
<Seraphna> Aya> "They're making the whole city as one big cover for a Light Gate, aren't they?"
<Jackieness> <XX> "...clever. Build an entire city to hide their gate. Soon as that thing open, there goes the locals."
<DeathStar> <C. Aya> There is definitely a massive build up of energy from this place, but something is off. The readings don't match other Light Gates.
<DeathStar> <Zera> We need to figure it out then. <Ire> Agreed. Bring us in
<Seraphna> Anya> "Doesn't seem like the answer will be good no matter what."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Pretty sneaky of them.
<Chain> 6*Marshall takes more photos and tries relaying the information as he come into it
<DeathStar> 6* They fly in closer and over the city and Uplink and Aya begin to study the data, as it begins to build and change as they relay the information
<DeathStar> <Ire> ... *he studies it, popping enough pain medicine to kill a man, holding his head in pain*
<DeathStar> <Ire> Light gates need you to fly through them right?
<Chain> <Marshall> seems to be the idea
<DeathStar> <Ire> You'd smash into the city
<DeathStar> <Ire> Unless it generates the portal above it somehow
<kalonZombie> <Ash> It might. Illiums can do crazy shit.
<Seraphna> Anya> "Or they don't mind anything between then edges of the portal being destroyed in it's event horizon."
<Seraphna> Anya> "The planet would effectively become the frame for the gate then."
<Kit> <Ceras> Pardon, I don't mean to interrupt
<DeathStar> <C. Aya> I think you may be onto something; something powerful is from this area - this is not a Light Gate. In fact, I Think it's something opposite. It seems to a powerful weapon - oh god, this place is a trap to look like a Light Gate, the fleet comes in to destroy it and they fire up the fake gate to wipe out the fleet with a super hyperspace beam. But there's more, the way it's been gathering energy, it might can fire across the galaxy and hit any target.
<Kit> <Ceras> But why make a city if you're just going to destroy it when you use said gate? Plus the city is the shape of the typical gate, so it's not hiding it very well
<Kit> <Ceras> Could there be a different reason?
<DeathStar> <Uplink> Nyet! This is being bad!
<DeathStar> <Uplink> They know we're here and are sending ships after us
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Where is it aimed?"
<Jackieness> <XX> "It could be aimed at the PAX."
<DeathStar> 6* Ire is processing all of this
<DeathStar> <C. Aya> I can't tell where it's aimed.
<Kit> <Ceras> ... Sounds plausible
<Chain> 6*Marshall is typing the hell out of this
<DeathStar> 6* Marshall finds his information jammed
<DeathStar> 6* Their transmissions jammed
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Well... clearly it has to be destroyed."
<Chain> <Marshall> fuck
<Jackieness> <XX> "Can you bring us in low so that any attacks would risk damaging their oversized toy?"
<Kit> <Ceras> Aya, was it? Use the city as a point of interest on the planet, 'the face' if you will, and calculate its position in accordance to the nearby stars
<Chain> <Marshall> it wont send
<DeathStar> 6* The ship shows they are building up energy rapidly, now that they are there
<kalonZombie> <Ash> That the siren song of us getting screwed I hear?
<Kit> <Ceras> Then we can use starnavigation calculations to generate an area of interest that estimates its trajectory
<DeathStar> <C. Aya> What I'm saying is it's impossible to tell literally
<DeathStar> <C. Aya> If that is a gate, they might can fire through reality itself
<DeathStar> <C. Aya> The beam can appear anywhere
<Seraphna> Anyata> "So... what do we do?"
<Kit> <Null> Like that Ripple character...
<Kit> <Null> That sucks.
<DeathStar> <Ire> Then it's up to us to t ake it out. Especially before the enemy fleet arrives.
<DeathStar> <Ire> Now that they know we know, they're going to fire, ready or not.
<Chain> <Marshall> its the only thing we can do
<DeathStar> <Zera> Hey, my ship is not a fighter ship
<DeathStar> <Ire> Too bad
<Jackieness> <XX> "Can you land us? We may have to do this from the ground."
<DeathStar> <Ire> Ideas how to turn a hyperspace beam reality beam on itself before their ships come to us? What is their ETA? <C. Aya> 4 minutes. They had them hidden as not to draw attention
<Seraphna> Anyata> "First we'd need to know where to land."
<DeathStar> 6* Zera grimaces and flies for the gate
<DeathStar> l<C. Aya> With the size of that, I'm not sure a ground team can destroy it
<Kit> 6Ceras has her hands to her face, frowning with thought.
<DeathStar> < Chou> What else can we do
<Chain> <Marshall>...we do the hard thing to do
<Kit> <Ceras> What about a gravity mirror?
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra holds Teddy's hand
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Inversion of hyperspace... it you had a second portal maybe... or an energy that directly polarized it."
<AquaKoala> *Teddy pats Cass' shoulder comfortingly
<DeathStar> <Atay> Gravity mirror?
<Kit> <Ceras> Exactly, same principles of traveling as beyond light. You warp gravity to bend the layer upon which you're traveling and fold it upon itself to instantly travel to another place along the layer
<DeathStar> 6* Zera gets them over the gate, the massive size miles and miles long and lands on a portion of it - it looks the top of a giant building that is a huge as they can see
<Kit> <Ceras> It's a gate that will send from that point to another, right? Well, if you warp gravity within its field of influence, it would turn in on itself and collapse
<Kit> <Ceras> It's a technology used in certain reploids for gravitic weaponry or travel
<Seraphna> * Anyata frowns, peering about.
<DeathStar> <C. Aya> *she sends everyone data on the previous light gates* If you can find the core, you might have a chance
<kalonZombie> <Ash> So shoot it a bunch. Got it.
<DeathStar> <C. Aya> But the problem is once the core is breached, explosion is likely instanteonous
<Seraphna> Anyata> "So we need to find something that looks like the cores of the others."
<DeathStar> <Uplink> Not thinking we have that technology big enough, Ceras. Da da..
<DeathStar> 6* Ire checks his gun and moves for the ramp. Chou goes to follow. Ire picks up Null and walksd along with her as a shield
<Seraphna> Anyata> "We could set something up to time the core breach to give us enough time to run."
<Kit> <Null> Ha ha... very funny..
<DeathStar> 6* Atay spins her blades and moves down and Ty Hawk, mighty pirate and ladies' man in his head, goes.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy follows
<Chain> 6*Marshall follows
<Seraphna> * Anyata follows them down, grabbing some extra weaponry as they head down.
<DeathStar> <Zera> I'll fly and try to keep the ships busy
<Jackieness> <XX> "Run where? Given the blast radius form the smaller gates..."
<DeathStar> <Zera> And try to teleport you all out
<Aqua> *Teddy gives Cass a giant gun out of his belly
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Noted."
<DeathStar> 6* Cass takes the giant gun as she walks along and smiles softoly
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Thanks dad.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves to follow, pulling out his spear
<Jackieness> <XX> "Alright, show time." *stands adn ehads out*
<Aqua> Teddy> Have slot for tripod on back so can use as turret
<Kit> <Ceras> Well, if I had access to my lab I cou-- err... well... moot point
<Kit> <Ceras> Good luck, weapon-toting raiders!" 6She salutes
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* A 6 year old Taiga floats in her clone machine, her age set to 11. Cuddles has Tsunedere on the table, unconscious, having called Ama and Erevis to the table, while Yasha is working the Senate stuff to see if she can follow the credits
<Chain> 6*Ama stands close
<Kit> 6Ouka walks over and turns it back to 14
<Kit> <Ouka> =A=
<DeathStar> 6* She has finally begun to track down who did it - it came from her own bank account, back on Erusia, monitored by her adopted daughter. The password used is her own, in fact it's been updated to a password she would have used 3 years from now based on an aligrothim only she knows and created 15 years ago
<DeathStar> 6* And which she changes regularly
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> *with a sucker in her mouth, speaks to the two*
<Seraphna> * Stacey stands by to assist.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I think I'm onto something, there's definitely what I call DNA, or genome memories in Tsunedere's brain, but the fact is getting to them could kill her. Since Miyuki is busy with her own family stuff lately, I thought I would get your permission
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Do I push it? Or do I try using one of the Illium the Alt people have? *She eyes their names* Luncheon was adopted by Alt Ama and Suicida
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "This makes no sense..." *presses the comm button* "I need to speak with Erevis now."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns, grimacing in thought. Athena meanwhile is preparing to go back out to command the fleet.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis lets Yasha know she's in medical bay
<Chain> <Ama>....such a request....no matter which way you look at it...
<Seraphna> * Jennifer getting ready with her, but looking worried considering all their very close calls.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I know, it sounds bad. The only other way is to try to get a high ranking Illium officer. Even with the stuff John and them got today, won't give us the truth. It might just give us clues to their plans
<Jackieness> <Yasha> *closes her terminal and then moves for the nearest teleporter, heading to the medical bay*
<DeathStar> 6* Prime Sammael and Alt Sammael both receive messages on an encypted channel
<Chain> <Ama> Is there nothing we can do to improve the odds at the very least?
<Seraphna> * Sammael checks the message curiously, Alt Sammael checking her own as well.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Of course, here in this lab we have the best doctors - I'll have Caduceus, Enue, Ethan, Vodka.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> If we all work together there's a good chance she'll live
<DeathStar> <Familiar Voice> Hello Sammy.
<Seraphna> Alt Sammael> "...Darien...?"
<Seraphna> * Prime Sammael simply listens. A fly on the wall.
<Chain> 6*Ama sighs
<DeathStar> <Alt Darien Starr> Got it in one. I have someone you know. 6* She hears the voice of C. Erevis cursing him for profaining a goddess
<Jackieness> <Yasha> *enters the medbay* "Erevis, a word."
<Seraphna> Alt Sammael> "Why even take her? What do you want?"
<DeathStar> <Alt Darien> If you want this woman back, you two will meet me alone at a location of my choice. You both will leave your respective locations in shuttles - now - and await word from me. If you have anyone tracing you, or outside help other than you two, she will die
<DeathStar> 6* He clicks off.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *looks at Ama* It is your call, my sun
<DeathStar> 6* She moves to Yasha
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
<DeathStar> 6* Cuddles plays with her lollipop
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> So no?
<Jackieness> <Yasha> *lowers her voice* "Authorization for the fund tranfers came with my authority... though not my knowledge."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Someone hacked your account?
<Seraphna> * Alt Sammael frowns and slips out to get a shuttle, while Prime frowns and moves for the hangar, she mentally sends out. <Athena... Jennifer... it seems a life is in danger and I must act, but you cannot trace me or follow me.>
<DeathStar> 6* She tilts her head. Justice plays with Rin, who is awake now
<DeathStar> 6* Athena frowns as she gets onto the new flag ship, peering at Jennifer
<DeathStar> 6* Clearly looking ready to follow
<Seraphna> * Jennifer blinks, her eyes widen and she looks at Athena, as Sammael heads to a shuttle.
<Chain> <Ama>....we should get Miyu and have her talk to Tsundere...
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "Its more worrying than that. The passcode is... I have a mathematical formula for determining the password. An algorithm only I know. The pass was changed in accordance with that algorithm."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Alright. *She keys a few things to get in touch with Miyuki*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> <We can't all leave the kids alone... you can't go alone love...>
<Chain> <Ama> at the very least so she knows the gravity of the situation
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Could anyone have guessed it?
<Chain> 6*Miyuki answers
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> We need you here on the PAX, Miyuki
<Seraphna> <Sammael> <The other me will be going as well. I cannot allow someone to die for my selfish wants however.>
<DeathStar> 6* Athena frowns and tries to track the shuttle's transponder Sammael is using if she does not shut it off
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "Very unlikely."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... another strange clue...
<Seraphna> * Sammael does, but simply disconects it. <If anything happens to me, I will send out a flare.>
<Chain> <Miyuki> whats wrong
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> We need you to talk to Tsunedere about an operation that may give us definitive clues.
<Seraphna> Sammael> <I do not know why he wants me as well as the Alternate me.>
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "I am also concerned why Leanne did not notice and alert me. She has authority to monitor my account statements."
<DeathStar> < Athena> <To kill you both. He is insane!>
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "What do we do...?"
<Chain> <Miyuki> I'm on my way
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If only you knew it, and it has been going into the Tsivrixsh planets, perhaps she believed you did it
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Being friends with Shretrav.
<Seraphna> <Sammael> <The Erevis from Wind's reality is in danger.>
<Chain> 6*Miyuki hangs up and heads to PAX and medical
<Seraphna> * Sammael begins to take the shuttle out. <I do not belive he knows of our bonding.>
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We need to find out if any other senator has had their passwords manipulated and their credits spent on things that their underlings would not suspect.
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "It is possible, yes. But my moving such quantities of capital through my personal account sis.... highy irregular."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena hisses and continues to prepare the fleet for lunch
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Indeed. You should speak with her.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Tsivrixsh Gate of Hell
<DeathStar> 6* So far there is no resistance, as they get lower, despite it being funded privately. They see posters of it having Project Claw on the walls as funding it
<DeathStar> 6* And there are Tsivrixsh/Erusian guards patrolling, many oblivious
<Seraphna> * Anyata keeps moving, frowning as they go along.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire moves along carefully, avoiding what appears to be the innocent guards, Chou, Atay, Cassandra, and Uplink following, the latter stumbling a lot
<DeathStar> 6* Ty looks around, until they reach a restricted door, Access Level 10 only
<AquaKoala> *Teddy follows on all four
<Chain> 6*Marshall eyes the door
<DeathStar> <Aya on comm> *acting as her old operator self* Beyond this door is likely what you are looking for
<Kit> <Null> Thanks, Aya
<DeathStar> 6* Uplink hooks up to the card reader and begins to hack it
<Seraphna> * Anyata peers over the door, then back the way they came.
<DeathStar> <Uplink> Da da, one sec. <Uplink's girlfriend datapad> Faster, you slaow ruskie
<DeathStar> 6* As Anyata peers back, a legion of Illium are there
<DeathStar> 6* Filling the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Ire turns abck and fires his gun, his blasts hitting their high grade armor
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash rides on Teddy
<AquaKoala> *teddy blinks and whips around, firing his plama cannon in his chest
<Jackieness> <XX> *ponders how annoying the situation has become*
<Chain> 6*Marshall offers cover fire
<Seraphna> Anyata> "We have company." *she frowns and fires blasts from her hand cannon, armor phasing on*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash fires his buster at them
<Jackieness> <XX> *turns and sends blasts at the incomign Illium*
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra fires her big gun, damaging their armor. Atay rushes in and slashes as best she can, trying to stab in their weak joint points where their bone isn't as strong. These Illium look different than the others, having pointy ears like famfrit and tails like gitari, and manifest a tidal wave of crystal, taht absorb attacks
<DeathStar> 6* And come rolling in at them, filling theh allway with crystal
<DeathStar> 6* Uplink opens the door, but it slides open inch by inch
<DeathStar> <Chou> W-We're going to be crushed
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes it almost there
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens upward half a foot
<Seraphna> * Anyata joisn Atay, arm blades flashing, she sends an X slash at the crystal trying to stop it.
<Kit> 6Null turns and manifests her armor and weapons, aiming her e-revolver and charging, slowly shining
<Jackieness> <XX> "Annoying!" *fires into the crystal*
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Is it just me or at they like... spliced with other races?
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash fires into the crystal as well
<DeathStar> 6* Atay slashes at the crystal, breaking it apart with her syster and XX's blasts shatter more
<Kit> 6Null fires a lv. 3 charge shot into the x-slashes and XX blast
<DeathStar> 6* Chou rolls under the door when it hits 2 feet
<DeathStar> 6* The crystal breaks apart completely, the Illium knocked back, a few killed with their own crystal in their faces
<Chain> 6*Marshall continues cover fire
<DeathStar> 6* The Illium fire away and Uplink is shot in the back of the head, his brains splattering the console as he slumps forward. "Nyeeeeet..."
<Seraphna> Anyata> <Be ready to dash slide for the door. Almost to our size.> *she hurls her blades out at an Illium*
<AquaKoala> *Teddy hauls on the door to open it faster
<DeathStar> 6* He lays there
<Kit> 6Null uses her Zero training to slash after her lv. 3 charge and fires a green wave slash at them as she rolls under the door
<DeathStar> 6* Teddy yanks it open and Cassandra rolls under it
<AquaKoala> Teddy> COMRADE UPLINK, NOOOOO
<Jackieness> <XX> *falls back and rolls under the door*
<DeathStar> 6* Ty slides under it
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash slides under it "TEDDY GET DOWN HERE NOW"
<AquaKoala> *Teddy grabs him before crawling under
<Seraphna> * Anya then syncs with Atay so they can both dash slide for the door after the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Atay dashes under the door
<Chain> 6*Marshall hurries in after them
<Seraphna> Anya> "Uplink..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra looks around and sees they are before stairways. Ty rushing ahead to get away activates lasers and is chopped to pieces, his body parts falling down the stairs. Cassandra stares in horror at her ex-mate dying
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Ty..
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Ty... shit...
<Seraphna> * Anya frowns and peers for a means to disable them.
<DeathStar> 6* Ty falls down the steps in sliced ham parts, not going moiiii, a charming smile on his face somehow -- a charming smile of fear.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy sniffs, putting what he can of Uplink and Ty in his belly, taking the datapad so it will be safe
<DeathStar> 6* They are likely in the wall
<Kit> 6Null adjusts her sensors and contacts Aya for visual on the laser nets
<Seraphna> * Anya peers for a panel.
<Chain> <Marshall> fucking christ, this is the nopiest fucking place
<AquaKoala> *Teddy plugs the datapad into himself so the computer lady can help still
<DeathStar> 6* Aya works hard and soon the lasers appear. The computer lady is juist wailing, broken down
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Is okay, can make better
<DeathStar> 6* Atay forms her swords and stabs into the wall repeatedly, tearing parts of it off, until she rends the wall off and shows the laser circuits
<AquaKoala> Teddy> Mother will know how
<Kit> 6Null gestures and moves through the field, showing the path
<DeathStar> <Computer Lady> You are not by man!!! Beast! Beast!
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Teddy, let her mourn.
<DeathStar> 6* Atay cuts some of the wires, the laser field cut in half. So they can navigate
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Can everyone make it through that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Atay slides and lfips over the wires, since Aya is showing them and works her way down the steps. Ire hurries, the door being lfted by the Illiums. Cassandra swallows and follows, graceful like a thief thanks to Ash and makes it down to the next floor
<AquaKoala> *Teddy mutes her queitly, sniffing
<Chain> 6*Marshall follows
<DeathStar> 6* Chou rolls and leaps
<Seraphna> * Anyata leaves one of the toys she packed at the door and follows after Atay.
<AquaKoala> *Teddy fires his cannon behind them before following carefully
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash leaps
<Jackieness> <XX> *follows along the cleared path through the laser field*
<DeathStar> 6* Thankfully, as they bust into the next room, they are standing before a giant core, that is as large as a foot ball field, with hundreds of terminals. And Illiums are pouring in from all areas of the room - and it's clear some are normal Illiums, some are Illium famfrit/bunnies, some are Illium famfrit/kitsune, Illium ridiarium/kitsune, etc.
<DeathStar> 6* The core glows like a bright light, inside a containment field
<DeathStar> <Aya on comm> If you can breach the containment field, the entire thing will go in seconds
<DeathStar> 6* Ire eyes the area and the sheer numbers coming in
<Jackieness> <XX> "Yeah, and what about us?"
<AquaKoala> *Teddy unhinges his jaw and a large gun barrel slides out
<DeathStar> 6* Chou fires a blast from her blaster at the core, the containment field deflecting it
<Kit> 6Null rushes to the field and activates her prototype, trying to breach the field by nullifying or absorbing its energy
<Seraphna> * Anyata drops her vizor down and activates her blades. "This is going to get messy. Be ready to take us out as soon as we're ready to breach."
<Kit> <Null> Hahhh...!
<DeathStar> <Aya on comm> You'd all die
<Chain> 6*Marshall starts firing on it
<DeathStar> <Aya on comm> That's why you need a plan before you--
<DeathStar> <Aya on comm> Oh no, the field is going out already..
<AquaKoala> *Teddy fires howitser shells from is mouth
<Seraphna> Anyata> "I think you need to get ready to bring us back NOW."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Wait!
<Jackieness> <XX> "Why didn't you say that before?!"
<Kit> <Null> Aya! Give Ash coordinates!
<DeathStar> 6* Null begins to absorb begins to breach the field and energy
<Jackieness> <XX> "Null, stop breaching! Stop breaching!"
<DeathStar> 6* As the containment field is absorbed and destroyed, Aya's response is lost in static as the breaching core interrupts communication
<DeathStar> 6* And likely teleportation
<DeathStar> <Ire> Null!
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Shit. NULL. STOP."
<Jackieness> <XX> "...Null... you have just annoyed me."
<DeathStar> 6* Ire pulls her back
<Kit> <Null> What else is new
<DeathStar> <Ire> You're a null field
<DeathStar> <Ire> You need to focus your efforts on Ash and the others to make a field for the teleportation to work
<Kit> 6Null eyes Ire. 1"Hence the name."
<DeathStar> <Ire> A few of us will--
<DeathStar> 6* A blast comes out of his chest, blood splurting. Hel ooks down in annoyance, eyeing the Illiums coming in
<AquaKoala> *Teddy fires on them
<DeathStar> 6* And stumbls to the terminals, where the core is breaching out, 30 seconds left to breach time
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Oh fuck me!
<Seraphna> * Anyata spins into defensive mode. "You heard what he said, a few of us will have to hold them off."
<Kit> 6Null makes a face, using her saber and cauterizes him quickly.
<kalonZombie> 6*He charges and fires at them
<Chain> 6*Marshall gets in front and fires
<AquaKoala> Teddy> BANG BANG BANG
<Kit> <Null> Ash, come here, everyone gather." 6She shifts behind the terminals for cover
<DeathStar> 6* Atay dashes in and slashes at the Illium, then begins to stab terminals to help breach faster, while Cassandra gets near Ash and Null
<Seraphna> Anyata> "Focus on that field. Ash, get ready."
<Jackieness> <XX> *turns and fires at the feet of the incoming Illium, trying to knock the floor out from under them*
<Chain> <Marshall> get who you can, and dont worry about me
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves over to Null, getting ready
<DeathStar> 6* Ire works his way to the main controls and fires blasts, speeding it up to 15 seconds with ATay's help
<kalonZombie> <Ash> YOU fucking get over here Marshall
<Chain> 6*Marshall keeps firing
<AquaKoala> *Teddy stays near them, pulling Marshall
<DeathStar> 6* XX's busting the floor knocks many back, as does the others attack
<Seraphna> * Anyata sends out blasts to aid and protect Atay, readying her recall ability.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> They didn't regrow your tongue after that rabbit fucker bit it out for nothing
<Chain> <Marshall> idiots someone has to finish this
<DeathStar> 6* An Illium blasts at Teddy, knocking him away from Marshall
<Jackieness> <XX> *falls back with the others once the Illium have slowed*
<kalonZombie> <Ash> WE ARE. GET HERE NOW.
<Chain> <Marshall> so get the hell out of here
<AquaKoala> *Teddy roars, fur smoking
<DeathStar> 6* The Illiums begin to charge the group, going to overrun them before they can teleprot out
<Chain> 6*Marshall moves back and keeps firing
<DeathStar> 6* Ire joins Marshall, firing
<DeathStar> 6* Null will over to solve this OG to expand her null field:
<AquaKoala> *Teddy fires at the chargers rapidly
<Chain> <Marshall> OVER HERE YOU SHINY PIECES OF SHIT

<DeathStar> 6* Null's field expans. Ash will have to solve this one to teleport; The Illiums gather a giant energy charge to fire at them. Atay dashes in and slashes into it, frying herself and shaking in mid-air away from the group while Ire and Marshall are charged by the Illiums, chunks of their bodies flying off, b lood splattering and their faces and arms being ripped off, Ire's right eyes splattering off and bouncing and Marshall's jaw blasted off again
<DeathStar> 6* Ash's OG:

<Seraphna> * Anyata brings Atay back with recall last moment.
<DeathStar> 6* They teleport and Anyata would find her recall doesn't work in the null field, and the exploding core
<Kit> 6Null cauterizes that on Ire as well with her saber.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Kit> <Null> Sir, keep yourself together.
<DeathStar> Location: Zera's ship
<DeathStar> 6* The group begins to appear in and out of warp space on Zera's ship. Cassandra jerking in pain since she's human
<DeathStar> 6* Zera flies along and Aya looks back. Chou holds onto a chair, eyeing herself appearing and reappearing as the gate below explodes
<Seraphna> * Anyata giving a howl of pain and rage when she realizes the recall didn't work.
<Kit> <Ceras> Woah, the field distortions are astounding..!
<DeathStar> 6* Zera flies straight up and hits comm, contacting Warren and Cheryl
<Jackieness> <XX> *slumps down when she arrives back into the ship*
<DeathStar> <Zera> We need help getting otu of here 6* She eyes the Illium ships chasing them

<DeathStar> <Wind on comm> I'm busy purging unpure elements from our universes
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then purge them at the site, they are going to dier.

<Kit> <Megumi> Wind! *snap*
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... *he checks his gun* It's time to take the power from him
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... *She rubs her face*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Tsivrixsh Planet
<DeathStar> 6* Wind appears in the system as Zera's ship is being attacked, unable to stand up to hyperspace and is smoking. Wind peers, then eyes the planet and aims his hand as if to erase it, firing a blast at the planet and as the city goes to go nuclear, contains the blast
<DeathStar> 6* Then he chases the enemy ships instead of helping Zera, erasing the enemy ships and grinning
<DeathStar> 6* Zera curses as Wind plays tag
<DeathStar> <Zera> What is Wind doing!?
<DeathStar> 6* A hyperspace blast hits the back of her ship and her chair is nbolted and she slams into controls, jerking as she's shocked and falls over, smoking
<Jackieness> <XX> "He's gone nuts!"
<DeathStar> 6* The Illium ship gaining on Zera
<Jackieness> <XX> "...well... nuts."
<Seraphna> * Anyata rushes over to check on her. "Shit... get us out of here!"
<DeathStar> 6 *Cassandra pants by Ash

<Seraphna> * ANyata applies a medical patch to Zera and rushes her to the ship's medical.
<DeathStar> -Epilogue 1-
<Kit> 6Ceras widens her eyes in shock, running over to her.
<DeathStar> Location: John's Base
<DeathStar> 6* John stares at video Em found, showing Vanessa being tortured by her father, and the arcana tarot card grafted on
<DeathStar> <John> Well, we got him for sure
<DeathStar> 6* He leans back, as the rest of the Illium tech is being shifted through
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor would have been able to decrypt the datapad data by now, right?
<DeathStar> 6* The information there referencing the I.L.L.I.U.M Project. So far Lorelei hasn't shown what she found in Vanessa's room
<DeathStar> 6* The encyrption seens to be light years beyond anything seen and is takingt time.
<Kit> 6Mem is looking for the scamp
<DeathStar> 6* John glances at Hale and Peter and josephine
<AquaKoala> *Del is grimacing at the video
<Seraphna> * Tabetha looks over the tech frowning, Peter pacing.
<Seraphna> Peter> "All that in his home, who knows how much damage he's done with his access to property."
<DeathStar> <John> While we try to get into the datapad, press him, and find out what was on the datapad. And learn who his Butler was.
<DeathStar> <John> And who set that bomb up
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Clear. Wonder what he was getting out of this deal... about to find out."
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Got it. Even if we can't get it out of him, hopefully Gor can get in it soon enough.
<DeathStar> 6* John leans back, rubbing his chin
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Oh, and how far can I go?"
<DeathStar> <John> All the way.
<DeathStar> -Epilogue 2-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> <Tsunedere> *She listens to Miyuki and Cuddles, as Taiga, age 6, floats in the back*
<DeathStar> <Tsunedere> Go all the way. I want to help
<DeathStar> 6* Cuddles nods, having casually used her foot to switch her tube to stop at 11 again*
<Chain> <Miyuki> youre absolutelt sure...
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> You're doing a good thing here. <Tsunedere> Yes, if anything in my head can help, I want to
<Kit> 6Ouka leans her scabbard over and tilts it back to 14.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly alarms go off across all the channels and Ao comms from the aux. bridge
<Chain> <Miyuki> alright but youre coming back, and when you do, I'm gonna officially give you the bakery, title and all
<Seraphna> * Stacey gets things ready, she blinks and looks around.
<DeathStar> <Ao on comm> Everyone, the Senators are in an uproar, turn the holovid on
<Seraphna> * Stacey turns it on.
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh is already sitting and watching.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns and flicks the holovid on and the HoloNet, static lines appearing as if great damagte was done, shows various planets shut off, their PRogenitor tech no longer working, and all trade and teleporting off line, all the stuff they've come to depend on in the Suisen Empire gone. There's rioting breaking out. It seems top have hit more than half of the Empire
<Chain> 6*Miyuki turns on her datapad
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "It was a trap either way... something about that thing was a giant Progenitor EMP."
<DeathStar> <News ReporteR> Chaos has hit the Suisen Empire as the Progenitor tech that is the corner stone of the Empire has just suddenly stopped working. We still do not understand what is happening here, but reports say the PAX has been flying from system to system, shutting them down. 6* Erevis narrows her eyes as an image of a high tech PAX is shown. Is it the alt one? It's hard to say with the staticy images
<DeathStar> <News Reporter> With some planets that have come to completely depend on the technology, the citizens have begtun to riot and tear themselves apart. This leaves the question, is this the end of the Suisen Empire?
<DeathStar> -END-
