<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-591.8.15
<DeathStar> Location: Executive Building Labs
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus lets go of Dias' head; present is only him, Dias, and Eve. Looking exhausted, Caduceus sits there, his skin clinging to his skeleton in a creepy manner. "That's all I can do this month."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve nods, checking Dias' vitals. "I'll have a cab take you two to Cheryl's mansion, then." 6* She takes the comm and does so.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods to Eve, then looks over at Cad. 1"T-Thank you, C-Cad. I-Is there a-anything I c-can do f-for y-you?"
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Don't die stupidly anymore.
<DeathStar> <Eve> I'll let the President know your progress. Someone will direct you two to the cab in a moment. 6* She steps out
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns at that. 1"I-I'll t-try." 6He pauses to look at Eve and bows for her. k1"T-Thank you E-Eve."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve smiles on her way out
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Kane's Office
<DeathStar> 6* Darien points at the screen. "I think we found out who's running Tucker's military projects. This man made General a few weeks after Tucker took over for Alexander, and before he died, he was assigned to some out of the way base to oversee things. I checked - he's not there."
<DeathStar> <Darien> His name is General Teer.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes the screen. 1I see. Was there any clues on his whereabouts at the base?
<DeathStar> <Darien> No. I think--- 6* He pauses, peering toward the door where Eve is standing. "Miss. Summers."
<Xanatos> 6* Kane glances up slightly, tilting his head. 1Hello Eve.
<DeathStar> <Eve> Dr. Caduceus has finished his treatment with Dias and is heading back home. I thought I'd let you know in case you wanted to share a ride.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Oh? I trust the treatment went well?
<DeathStar> <Eve> It would seem so.
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's late. We can get Cheryl's team to investigate the General tomorrow. 6* He notes
<Xanatos> <Kane> That's good. I-6He pauses and glances to Darien and then nods. 1Very true. Yes I believe I should be going home.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We have a location on the GEneral's wife and kids. It's possible they know more about his location. 6* He adds to Kane.
<Xanatos> 6Kane eyes Darien for a moment then nods and gets to his feet. 1I will update Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Save it for tomorrow. She could use the rest.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve turns to step out
<Xanatos> <Kane> Yes you're probably right. If I told her now she wouldn't sleep I suspect and then Chii would possibly injure me. I will see you tomorrow, Darien. 6He gets his coat and his suitcase and moves for the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods a few times. He taps his finger on his leg, clearly up to something
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-591.8.16
<DeathStar> Location: PAX in Tsivrixsh Space
<DeathStar> 6* Athena excitedly packs a shuttle with her outfits, while Erevis sits in a chair, watching quietly - she's insisted on attending the concert, despite protests
<Kit> 6Megumi just sighs nearby.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin sits in a chair on the shuttle, well crouches in a chair, he's actually standing on it. He peers around quickly, excited.
<DeathStar> 6* New engineers move about engineering. A few days ago, Chad was informed his pay was being reduced to help pay for a new staff. Some of them seem as experienced as Chad and Isis
<Kit> <Elwyn> Can't you sit properly?
<DeathStar> 6* Isis stands on the family shuttle, watching everyone
<DeathStar> <Ao> I'll watch the PAX while you're all gone, so don't worry. Though if we're shot at, I'm destroying the target.
* Jennifer races about with Athena, helping her pack, excited as well. Helping pack up outfits.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao stands by the outside of the shuttle, arms crossed.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos whistles as he gets the shuttle prepared.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pats her shoulder. 1Wouldn't expect any less of you, luv.
<Kit> <Megumi> Great. Sweetie is singing on the Tsivrixsh home of all things, beloved is out of bed, and no doubt I will get an earful since I think the recent rebudgeting is due to me having CHIP summon more earthling engineers.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr paints something on the side of the shuttle, stepping back
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin shrugs. 1No?
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes, Aonee, we do not love you for your diplomatic tact.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Xanatos at the rebudgeting line, as if sharing a secret with him Megumi is out of
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos smiles and stands up. 1Well, we're ready when everyone else gets on.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek slides over to peer at what Zephyr painted.
<Jennifer> "That everything Athena?"
* Chad`Winters moves upto the shuttle, either taking a break or off work.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr admires the name of the shuttle. 'The Zhenmei Su Shuttle"
<DeathStar> <Athena> Yep!
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Oi now that's a name.
<Kit> <Megumi> What was that, beloved?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think it's ancient Spanish for The Zhenmei's Shuttle.
* Jennifer grabs her guitar case. "Alright, I'm set too."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What was what, Kitten?
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Well, It's brilliant either way. Just hope don't translate to anything bad in Tsiv, yeah?
<DeathStar> 6* Isis peers at Chad, shifting more inside the shuttle as if to hide.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Psch, as if I care.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter steps up, peering the shuttle over slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Chad
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I care! Those gits are surly in a fight.
<Chad`Winters> Looks nice. 6He notes to Zephyr his eyes glancing at Isis briefly as she shifts inside to hide.
* Jennifer grins at Athena. "All pumped up oneechan?"
<Kit> <Megumi> ...You were eyeing Xanatos./
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm worth eyeing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do I not often eye him?
<Kit> 6Megumi says nothing to that, just eyeing her.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sighs. "I will inform you later."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mmmhm. Came to see us off? 6* She asks.
<Kit> <Megumi> If I do not need to know, I clearly do not.
* Jennifer smiles, but looks nervous herself. She does seem to keep cool well enough on the inside however.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter steps around Chad and peers into the shuttle slightly. 1I uh, just thought I would wish everyone good luck.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Does that mean we could have bad luck?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just peers away, not responding.
* Jennifer looks over at Carter and nods. "You take care Levi."
<DeathStar> 6* Isis smiles at Carter, waving. "Hi, Carter."
<Chad`Winters> Well since I finally have enough engineers to actually take time off, I could come with.
<Xanatos> <Carter> Not now. 6He notes, giving Isis a smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena pauses, peering at Carter, then at Isis, then back. "Carter want to come? Free ticket."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Ah that's alright mate, we've got security covered. 6he notes to Chad, moving up the ramp.
<Xanatos> <Carter> I wish I could, but someone has to take care of the sick and wounded. 6He eyes Jennifer at that, then smiles to Athena. 1Thank you though.
<Chad`Winters> Who said anything about security. I enjoy her shows.
* Jennifer just nods back, having expected the jab.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Oh. Only one working. 6* She notes.
<Xanatos> <Carter> Yes. Anyway, good luck and have a safe journey. 6He bows his head slightly and then shifts to leave.
<Kit> 6Megumi moves to sit down finally, shrugging. 1"Might as well say I failed in keeping Athena away from Jennifer. You should know better than to expect me to be able to do anything when it comes to Athena."
<DeathStar> <Ao> Some people actually don't run off to play and leave the workload to their fellow student
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin slowly leans over Megumi's shoulder. 1I could 'take care of her' for you. 6he whispers.
* Jennifer looks to Athena. "I could sit this one out, if you'd like. Though one of us should go." *she looks a ltitle towards Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The shuttle's pretty full. 6* She notes to Chad. "But if you want to get another one, I'm sure Athena will be thrilled to have you there." 6* She moves to go up the ramp
<DeathStar> 6* Athena tilts her head.
<Kit> <Megumi> That would be up to beloved.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains silent, almost detatched, something she's been doing more of lately when bothered by something
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Real cheap. Consider it. 6he breathes out, then leans back with a smile.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos steps over to Erevis and kisses her on the neck.
<Chad`Winters> I wouldn't want to crowd anyways. 6He moves to Athena giving her a hug. 1"I'll try to make it down for your show."
<Kit> <Megumi> My efforts are exhausted being 'diplomatic.'
<DeathStar> 6* Athena hugs Chad back. "Athena save good seat!"
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek hums slightly as he takes a seat, patting his knee for Zephyr.
<Chad`Winters> Try to save atleast three.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Drasek, then complies. "Dork."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I figured I'm safer than one of those fancy safety belts anyhow.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks a bit, eyeing Xanatos, then reddens.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Kay.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos gives her a smile and moves to take his pilot's seat.
* Jennifer shrugs to Athena. "Kinda feel bad leaving Carter with the lab all alone like this. But wanna support you too."
<Chad`Winters> Try not to crash, Xan.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena understand if Jennee want to tay.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I'm going to do my best.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena shifts to bound up the ramp and hops onto Megumi's lap
<Chad`Winters> To crash?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> To try not too.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes Chad, then waves at them. "See you all late tonight."
* Jennifer frowns a bit. "Save me a seat for the concert, sis?"
* Jennifer calls out to Athena.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Kay!
<Kit> <Elwyn> ...That sounded real reassuring. Maybe I should fly.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> You can fly?
<Chad`Winters> Oh. That makes sense. 6He waves Xan off and moves off the ramp.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena want to see Elwyn flying!
<Kit> 6Elwyn starts to laugh.
* Jennifer smiles and steps back. She looks over at Carter.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter left to get to work.
<Kit> <Elwyn> I'd demonstrate but there's babies onboard.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis triple buckles
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well if you're better than me, you can take the co-pilot's seat here.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis types a message to send to Megumi's datapad.
* Jennifer shrugs a bit and heads for the teleporter. She looks back at the shuttle and hits medical.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I hope Iko and Ako do not give Noname too much trouble. 6* She notes sadly at leaving her babies.
<Kit> <Megumi> He handled them pretty well during the crisis." 6She notes, ignoring her datapad for the moment, assuming it's people on PAX
* Jennifer puts her guitar up somewhere to the side and looks around for Carter.
<Kit> <Elwyn> So you let the more skillful take the backseat, eh? That makes sense." 6She snickers, moving to assume the co-pilot's chair. It's comfier anyway.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Mansion. Late Night.
<DeathStar> 6* John sneaks down in the base underground, raiding the mess hall. Meanwhile, Cheryl is asleep in the bed, while Lemon is asleep in Kane's. The only thing stirring DS character wise is the fox, which sneaks after John for food.
<Kit> 6A featherduster attacks John from the fridge.
<DeathStar> <John> Ack! 6* He falls backwards
<Xanatos> 6* Kane sleeps quietly, a comfortable smile on his face, while Cole sleeps on the ramp of one of the shuttles.
<Jennifer> * Peter looks up from a table in the mess hall as he passes, he leans into the kitchen to watch the ambush.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sleeps half off his bed
<DeathStar> 6* At that moment, two ripples open up; one in Cheryl's bedroom, one in Kane's. The mansion base alarms begin to go off at the intrusion while one of the robots that attacked at the con steps through, one from each; the first grabs Lemon, who jerks awake with a shriek, and the other grabs Cheryl from her bed
<Ariel> 6* Raquel sleeps peacefully in her bed... until the alarm goes off.
<Kit> 6Chii instinctively arms herself, kunai in hand. 1"The hell.."
<Jennifer> * Tabetha snoozes in bed until the alarms go off, she leaps up, forming guns as she hops into the hall in her underthings.
<Kit> 6Key smiles at John, shivering from being in the fridge for ambush, then blinks at the alarms.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks as a hand goes around her throat, dragging her for the ripple; Lemon struggles while her robot steps through with her, the ripple closing
<Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks, his hand going for his nightstand to grab his pistol.
<DeathStar> 6* John squints. "Did you cause that?"
<Jennifer> Peter> "The hell is that?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks awake, his eyes wide
<Kit> 6Chii blinks, throwing the kunai for the wrist grasping Cheryl. 1"Cherry!"
<Xanatos> <Kane> Lemon!
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jumps up and staggers, slowly squinting and peering around, he has his hands up to fight. 1...eh?
<DeathStar> 6* The kunai stabs into the metal arm. The robot aims at Chii, unleashing holy arrows at her. Cheryl's eyes widen and she forms her whip, smashing it into the robot's face, then wincing as it squeezes her throat
<Jennifer> * Tabetha looks up and down the hall, she frowns and moves towards the elevator. "Hello?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stumbles out of his room with his gun, peering about. He hits his comm to all channels. "Someone's breached the mansion's defenses."
<Kit> 6Chii rolls off the bed, groaning as she lands on her hands, straining to move quicker than she can currently.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane gets to his feet, quickly moving to open his door, he aims left and right quickly, then moves towards Cheryl's room.
<Jennifer> * Peter turns and heads out of the mess hall towards the elevator.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers at his comm and he quickly puts on some pants and grabs his comm. He sprints towards the elevator now
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps smashing at the robot, like a wild wolverine, desperate to keep it from focusing on Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* The robot heads for the ripple, losing pieces of it's metallic face.
<Jennifer> * Tabetha pushes the button for the elevator, looking back as others head towards her.
<Kit> 6Tomoe is standing outside Lemon's room when Kane emerges, looking frightened and confused by the noise.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and grabs Tomoe and lifts her up. 1Shhh. It'll be okay. 6He turns and heads towards Cheryl's room now.
<Kit> <Key> Breach..!?
<DeathStar> 6* John hops up and rushes for the elevator
<Xanatos> 6* Cole moves for the elevator after getting the comm message.
<Jennifer> * Tabetha gets on the elevator when it opens, holding the door for others, Peter keeps heading for it.
<DeathStar> 6* The robot begins to enter the ripple slowly. Cheryl whips out and snags the bed post, halting it
<Kit> 6Chii makes a face, shifting to sit. She peers over the bed, then waits for the robot to get decked again, throwing her comm through the ripple.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides onto it
<Xanatos> 6* Kane slides up to the door and sets Tomoe aside, he holds up a finger to make sure she keeps quiet, after hearing the struggle inside he shifts to try and kick the door open.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel gets up, grabbing her weapons quickly and ripples up to the mansion.
<DeathStar> 6* The robot jerks Cheryl, breaking the bedpost, then begins to move in again.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane quickly aims and fires shots for the robot's head.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien reaches Cheryl's room, then aims in after Kane, firing at the robot.
<Jennifer> * Peter gets in the elevator.
<Kit> 6Chii glances over, quivering. 1"Darien!"
<Xanatos> 6* Cole hops into the elevator. 1The hell's going on?
<DeathStar> 6* The robot jerks from the hits. Cheryl uses this moment to drive her whip into it's exposed circuits, cuasing it to explode. Cheryl is sent flying
<DeathStar> 6* The enemy ripple closes.
<Kit> <Chii> My comm, trace it, quickly!
<Jennifer> * Tabetha hits the up button as soon as John gets in.
* Ariel tries to catch Cheryl
<Kit> 6Chii crawls over toward flying Cheryl
<Kit> 6Key slides in after John as it's closing
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sadly isn't caught by Ariel, since the GM never saw her heading for the room
<Xanatos> 6* Kane hisses and slides over to Cheryl, checking her condition.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, taking his datapad to do so.
<DeathStar> 6* John and the others, once in the mansion, rushes up to check on things
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sprints after John
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts, looking a bit burnt and bloodied, but seems okay. She groans, holding her head ni pain. "Chii okay..?"
<Xanatos> <Cole> What's going on!? 6He says once they catch up to Darien and the others.
<Jennifer> * Tabetha and Peter head up after them.
<Kit> <Chii> I'm fine, Cherry. Are you..!?
<Xanatos> 6* Kane nods once, getting to his feet he moves to get Tomoe and make sure she's okay.
<Jennifer> * Peter looks around and starts doing a headcount.
<Kit> <Tomoe> Where's mama?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine...what...happened?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias see's Cherly injured and moves to her, looking her over in fear
<Xanatos> <Kane> They took her. But I will get her back. I promise.
<Kit> <Tomoe> They?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> A-Are you o-okay?
<Kit> <Chii> Attacked-- ripples again. Those ... robotic things.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think I have a location.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Whoa whoa whoa. Wait. They took Lemon?
<Jennifer> * Peter grumbles a little. "Attacked us where we sleep, looks like they knew right where to hit too."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... They have Lemon?! 6* She stands up, wincing
<Kit> <Chii> They probably want the biomechanical technology you gave her..
<Jennifer> Tabetha> "M-Miss Lemon?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. Goddamit---to improve their robots.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't seem to care she's in her tnak top and underwear as she holds her head in pain, moving to grab Darien's datapad.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks at the mention of Lemon. 1"L-Lemon's m-missing too?"
* Ariel looks to Darien, having arrived apparently too late to do anything useful. She wonders if he let this happen.
<Kit> <Chii> They tried to take you-- it's safe to assume they might also be interested in the dragoon's technology. Meaning you, Cherry-- and Tabetha.
<Ariel> Raquel> "Are... we heading out right away?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Ariel, and as if catching her look, his face darkens considerablely and he steps out
<Jennifer> * Tabetha blinks a little at that. "Why did they not target Elder Ariel or myself?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Come on. 6* She moves to step out and get a car.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I'm coming. 6He notes, moving to change.
<Kit> <Chii> I--..
<Xanatos> 6* Cole seems confused still, but moves after Cheryl.
<Kit> <Key> Took Lemonade." 6She pouts at John.
<DeathStar> 6* John rubs the back of his head. "We'll get her back."
* Ariel frowns and heads after Darien to find out what this is about.
<Jennifer> * Tabetha heads after Cheryl, as does Peter.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I-I'm c-coming too.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves after Cheryl
<Kit> 6Chii starts to slowly move after them
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes out his comm, moving into his room.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel ripples back to her room to get changed quickly, before taking her shortcut to the car
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves down to the mansion garage, not bothering to head into the base, and gets into one of the faster ones.
<Kit> 6Key clutches John's shirt, moving after him
<DeathStar> 6* John pats her back, lifting Key up and carries her into the car.
<Kit> 6Tomoe tails Kane, wide-eyed.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> C-Cheryl. Y-You s-sure you w-want to f-fight in that?
<DeathStar> 6* Each time Raquel uses her ripples, the alarms go off again
<Xanatos> <Cole> Hey bo-6he jerks and holds his hands up defensively, peering around.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel sighs, <...that was me.>
<Jennifer> * Tabetha and Peter pile into the car.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just grunts at Dias, and drives them out once everyone is in, speeding and barely making it through the gates as they open
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Darien's datapad, tracking the comm
<Xanatos> <Cole> How far away was it?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> 1 mile.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> S-Seems c-close d-doesn't it?
<Kit> 6Chii sits in the back, holding Tomoe, biting her lip.
<DeathStar> <John> Ripples can't move far.
<Kit> <Chii> It's why Raquel used to waste a lot of energy chain rippling.
* Jennifer is now known as Tabetha
<Ariel> Raquel> "...h-hey... it was effective..."
<Xanatos> <Cole> Give me the location and I could teleport there, to keep em from running away and stuff. 6he notes.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks back. 1"T-Then w-won't w-we s-show up l-late?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drives off the road and through some wooded terrain, the city looming ahead of them.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We're almost there. 6* She notes, and then slams on the breaks in a small clearing. She looks around.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around quickly, eyes narrowed.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns, sighing. "I knew it." 6* She mutters
<Chad`Winters> Dias slides forward as the vehicles comes to an abrupt stop. He regains himself and looks around frantically.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides forward as the vehicles comes to an abrupt stop. He regains himself and looks around frantically.
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes a comm on the ground
<Xanatos> <Cole> They rippled away again?
<Kit> <Chii> Can we trace Lemon directly?
<Tabetha> * Peter peers around. "Long gone probably."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm trying to ping her. But she's not nearby.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> P-Ping?
<Xanatos> <Kane> A short ripple followed by a longer one, it would seem. Unless they have another means of transportation.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I-I'd havea a s-shuttle ready.
<DeathStar> <John> They probably chain rippled into the city. But those robots seem limited, so they coudln't do that many. Maybe just...like 2 or 3, right?
<DeathStar> <John> So, uh...pick a direction and drive for 3 miles?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I l-like J-John's idea.
<Xanatos> <Cole> I could go in one direction, spreading out might be a good idea, right?
<Tabetha> Peter> "Dias might actually be right, a shuttle would be long gone by now, they planned it this well already."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl has her eyes closed, trying to ping Lemon.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. They wouldn't use a shuttle this close to the base.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shakes his head. 1Y-You shouldn't g-go alone
<Tabetha> * Peter nods a little and looks around the clearing again.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hits the gas again, turning the car for another direction.
<Xanatos> <Cole> I can take care of myself and if I find something I can let you all know.
<Tabetha> Peter> "Looks like she got somethin'."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright, prepare to take the wheel Peter. Cole, grab me and teleport in this direction as far as you can manage.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh boy...we're going like 120 MPH...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at the two, clearly wanting to go with
<Kit> <Chii> Cherry..
<Tabetha> * Peter leans over, getting ready to hop into position.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien tosses the comm down, grabbing a spare datapad, checking things in his room
<Xanatos> <Cole> It won't be as far as I used too. But sure thing. 6He reaches out to put his hands on Cheryl's shoulders.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just move it. If she leaves my range, it's over.
<Tabetha> * Tabetha just sits nervously.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole tenses and does so.
<Tabetha> * Peter takes the wheel as soon as they vanish.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls up his datapad and transmits information to Darien to keep him updated.
<DeathStar> 6* Cole adn Cheryl appear in front of a bus. Cheryl ignores it, then points in another direction. "That way."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's left Darien's datapad to trace her comm.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks and tenses to teleport again.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel holds on for dear life
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns and he takes a seat
<Tabetha> Peter> "I'll take us back, we're not going to keep up with them in a car, we can hop a shuttle where we need to go."
<DeathStar> <John> Keep following them.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Turning around would be stupid.
<DeathStar> 6* John takes the datapad, pointing in the direction
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> T-Take to l-long t-to get a shuttle
<Tabetha> Peter> "Alright." *he frowns and keeps driving, taking John's directions*
<DeathStar> <John> Good thing he's not in charge.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Indeed.
<Kit> <Chii> Just avoid the lake, please.
<Tabetha> Peter> "Noted."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers around as they appear on another street, then points at a shuttle docking area. "She's in there." 6* A shuttle lifts off.
* Ariel looks to Darien, "What's happening?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ... we can't intercept it.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Ariel. "Not going to accuse me of something? I saw your face." 6* He notes
<Xanatos> <Cole> ...fuck. Let go, I'll try to get it down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head. "We can't intercept it, I said. It could lead us to X."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Cypher. Get Cypher on it so we can trace him.
<Kit> <Chii> Good move.
* Ariel shakes her head.
<Ariel> "No accusations."
<Tabetha> * Peter keeps going, friving on. "I prode myself on not turning cars into boats at least lass."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole opens his mouth and then closes it, frowning. 1A-Alright. 6He takes Cypher and tenses to teleport forward so he can latch him onto it. Doing his best to not make noise to alert them, getting back to Cheryl if successful.
<DeathStar> 6* Peter would drive them onto a busy street. John points to the right.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. I was checking to see if a lead we had wa fine.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs onto a seat tightly
<Tabetha> * Peter veers in and takes a right.
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher doot wails as they go. Cheryl watches Cole return.
<DeathStar> 6* As Peter turns, an old lady crosses in front of him. He'll hit her in 3.
<DeathStar> 2.
<DeathStar> 1.
* Tabetha dodges her.
<Tabetha> * Peter.
<DeathStar> <John> ... why are old people out this late at night?
<Xanatos> <Cole> We'll need a shuttle.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias' eyes go wide at that.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods. "We'll borrow one here."
<Ariel> Raquel> "...this town is weird."
<Tabetha> Peter> "They plot against us man, they plot against us."
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead, they can see Cole and Cheryl, talking casually in the street.
<Xanatos> <Cole> I'll go take care of it. 6he nods to her and moves to see about aquiring one.
<Tabetha> * Peter pulls up to them and stops the car.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias gets out quickly, moving towards Cheryl.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I recall hearing of a program to keep the elderly active. It included night walks.
<Tabetha> Peter> "This late? What the hell do they put into their food?"
<Ariel> "Are they?"
<Tabetha> * Tabetha gets out, chasing after Dias.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane gets out of the car and moves to Cheryl. 1Did you lose her?
<Ariel> Raquel> "...do they want to keep them out of sight?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We have Cypher on their shuttle. Hopefully he'll lead us to their base
<Tabetha> Peter> "That's what those homes are for, aren't they?"
<DeathStar> 6* John hops out
<Tabetha> * Peter turns off the car and gets out.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses as some people walking eye her bruised, bloodied, and nearly naked figure
<DeathStar> 6* Then eye Kane with her
<Ariel> 6* Raquel climbs out.
<Kit> <Chii> Where's Cole going?" 6She leans out the window.
<DeathStar> <John> 'President seen with bloodied hooker'.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns and shifts to get into car.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Y-You should g-get t-that looked at, C-Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He's getting a shuttle. Chii - you and Tomoe get back home. Everyone else, with me. 6* She follows Cole
<Kit> 6Key hrmphs, puffing her cheeks and hoping it doesn't go like John said.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns a bit then moves after her
<Kit> <Chii> Is that a good idea? I only came because if it's just me and the kid at home...
<Tabetha> * Peter hands the car keys to Chii and moves after Cheryl, Tabetha follows as well.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel heads after Cheryl
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ariel and Darien are back there, too
<Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to move after Cheryl now, quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods. "Yes. It seems the lead is fine. I had purposely kept the information to see if Eve was the leak. This attack made me wonder, but... I wonder if it was a coincidence."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina dries the bar counter, eyeing Loki as he sits there.
* Tabetha is now known as Jennifer
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki eyes her back
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What's going on? 6he asks when he steps out.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He just keeps eyeing our drinks and mumbling about being disappointed
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh really?
* Jennifer works in medical, checking over a patient.
<DeathStar> 6* The patient shows her his penis, which has a bump on it
<Chad`Winters> 6A familiar women steps in wearing a slitted blue dress. She moves upto Loki, showing him a datapad
<Kit> 6Dawn moves to visit Aya with a latest confectionary concoction
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina pauses, peering at the woman slowly.
* Jennifer puts on a glove and gives him a clinical examination.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya works on the bridge, handling traffic due to the crowded air space and the Tsivrixsh tendancy to shoot first, ask to move later attitude
* Chad`Winters works in engineering, going over the new schedules
<Kit> 6Dawn winces, peering over her shoulder.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter works in medbay, tending to an older man.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus eyes the woman.
* Jennifer records her findings as she inspects him.
<Chad`Winters> 6The dark haired woman whispers in Loki's ear, who's eyes go wide. She has a device attached to her head.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Shiva.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva looks up at Kat. 1"Katrina, it's good to see you."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Holy balls.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares, completely stunned.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Do I uh, need to get my sword?
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva eyes him at that. 1"If you did, I'd have taken your wife already."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You mean--life?
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> And have you mad at me?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> How'd... I mean...they found a way to reverse it?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...shit this is weird. No offense.
* Jennifer steps back and carefully gets rid of the glove before telling the man calmly he has an STD.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki rubs his face and he stands up, whispering into Shiva's ear who nods. He moves off to the side, tapping his comm. 1"Ao, I would like to discuss something with you."
<DeathStar> 6* The man pauses, then asks Jennifer out
<DeathStar> <Ao on Comm> No, you cannot expand your casino.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> I believe this is more pressing.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Yes, and you being alive is clearly not out of the normal.
<DeathStar> <Ao on Comm> Alright. But if you go into needing a shipment of booze, I will fry you.
* Jennifer smiles, "Maybe after your treatment, it's not a good idea to date patients." *she grins a little and gets some medication ready*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps over, then hugs Shiva
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> I might need one if things go bad.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> C-Can I hug you too?
<DeathStar> <Ao on Comm> Where do you want to meet?
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Somewhere private
<DeathStar> <Ao on Comm> I'll give you access to the bridge.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers back at Ao talking, then at Dawn
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Only if I get to have a night with your wife.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki moves to the telepad and hits the bridge
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Uh. Well no. I guess not.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's really you. 6* She says, wiping at her eyes. "I've missed you."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Then no hugs. 6She gives him a sympathetic look and she gives Shiva smile. 1"I'd hope so, I did take a sword for you, you know."
<DeathStar> 6* Ao turns in her chair to eye Loki, then moves for the conference room.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Kat
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki moves after her, not giving anyone else any notice on the bridge
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Will you be staying long?
<DeathStar> 6* Ao closes the door after Loki. "Alright, what is it?"
* Jennifer eyes the man and holds up the pills. "Just take these as instructed, come back in a week and we'll check on your progress, okay?"
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> It depends on the situation.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Loki seems more panicky than normal.
<DeathStar> <Man> And then we can go out?
<Jennifer> "When I deem you cured."
<DeathStar> 6* KAtrina nods, then shifts to help Shiva in a seat. "Here. Marcus, make her some food."
<DeathStar> 6* The man takes the pills, slaps her ass, and moves on
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Any favorites? I can make anything.
* Jennifer rolls her eyes and watches him go, then moves onto the next patient.
<DeathStar> 6* It's the man's twin brother
<Kit> 6Dawn nods to Aya, peering over his shoulder with a frown.
* Jennifer blinks a little. "...And what seems to be the problem today?"
<DeathStar> 6* The man unzips
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> It appears that while on a mission, Iceheart has gone rogue. She attacked a Cartel Ship and according to our long range sensors was heading this way into Tsivrixsh space. We're concerned she's not acting in her right mind and may cause an instance that I doubt our galaxy wants to deal with.
<Jennifer> "Hmm..." *she pulls on a glove and does a quick, clinical inspection* "You don't happen to double date with your brother do you?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva lists off a meal her and Kat shared all the time
<DeathStar> 6* Ao stares a moment. "Why is she heading here?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sits by Shiva. "There's so much I want to tell you."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods and steps into the back.
<DeathStar> <Man> Well, yes.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Our intelligence isn't sure of that right now, but with as trigger happy as the Tsiv are and with Iceheart clearly not being herself, we'd like to make sure nothing happens out of this.
<Jennifer> "I had a funny feeling." *she smiles softly and checks over the data*
<DeathStar> 6* Aya turns back to work when one Tsivrixsh claims the PAX is in it's way.
<DeathStar> <Ao> What can we do about it exactly? I mean, is she targetting the PAX, someone else?
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Really? I'd like hear about it when I have the free time.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. She takes a deep breath, looking overwhelmed.
<Kit> 6Dawn makes a face at the Tsivrixsh claiming that. Honestly.
* Jennifer starts preparing the treatment again. "You've got an STD, we'll put you on some medication that should help out."
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki holds his hands out clearly not sure. 1"It's hard to tell. It could be personal or something else. But the PAX is best equipped to deal with something like this."
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Sorry about all that trying to kill you before. I wasn't in the right state of mine.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: mind
<DeathStar> <Ao> I--- really don't know what we can do. I can try to tlak to her, but I'm not exactly diplomatic. And this isn't our jurisdiction
<DeathStar> 6* Aya tries to politely inform him they have the rights to this spot. The Tsivrixsh curses her
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> I'd like you to make contact before the Tsiv do to determine what's going on. Then from there disable her ship if need be so we can quarantine it. If worse comes to worse, then I have been given permission to destroy the ship if it poses a threat to peace.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... he's not very nice.
<DeathStar> <Ao> I'll try.
<Kit> 6Dawn sighs, then eyes the monitor, to see if it's a civilian or Tsivrixsh military vessel
<DeathStar> 6* Civilian
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps back out and places down the food. 1I hope it's as good as you remember.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> The Cartel would prefer that this was handled peacefully and quietly. We would take care of it ourselves but this ship is the closest available to handle something like this.
* Jennifer hands over the medication. "Come back in in a week for a checkup so we can see how you're doing."
<DeathStar> 6* Ao steps back out into the bridge, sending Megumi a message. "WE'll try out best. It's in our name."
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Thank you. 6He bows to her and moves to the telepad, hitting the bar again
<Kit> 6Dawn tells Aya to ignore it or inform local military to 're-issue' their clearance.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Tsivrixsh Homeworld
<DeathStar> 6* The dreary homeworld is as black as never; met by Kyun once landing, he has set up an escort to drive them to the concert. Currently they are in a limo, surrounded by Tsivrixsh military cars to protect them. Erevis frowns, peering out at the sight, clearly feeling more like a prisoner
<DeathStar> 6* Athena, meanwhile, plays with the champaign in the limo, merowling at the bubbles
<Kit> 6Megumi sighs, peering down at her datapad. She mumbles, then finally checks it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers out the window, while Isis looks worried
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek leans back, his arms behind his head, while Xanatos pats Erevis' knee, trying to keep her calm.
<Kit> <Elwyn> ... Ninety-nine buildings of black death in this mall-- ninety-nine buildings of black deaaath..
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin blows on the champaign bottle to make that cool sound.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena squeals and mimics
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin laughs and grabs Elwyn's face, trying to make her do it too
<Kit> 6Elwyn deadpans, playing along with a grumble.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao's message, however, informs them Iceheart has gone insane
<DeathStar> 6* The cars arrive outside a newly built concert hall that looks only a month old. Athena peers out
<Kit> 6Megumi stares at her datapad, looking ashamed, then jerks. 1"Impossible."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Heh. 6he pauses and eyes the concert hall. 1Ooooh.
<DeathStar> <Zepyr> Yeah, totally, it's like they built this FOR Athena
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I think...they did, luv.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns. "What are they up to..."
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks several times, replying for more details.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena bounds out; Tsivrixsh escorts move over, and Kyun steps up. <Kyun> This way, we'll take you back stage to prepare." 6* There already seems to be a line
<Kit> <Elwyn> Maybe they really just want a little change?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> They want Athena to sing in someplace deserving, duh! 6He slips out after Athena.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao replies she doesn't have any, other than she's been told to destroy Iceheart if given no other option
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps out. <What's wrong?>
<Kit> 6Elwyn steps out to stand on Athena's other side. She's dressed business again, slipping a pair of sunglasses on in case there's flashes.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena bounds of Kyun and the escorts. Erevis tries to get out, but grunts, holding her stomach
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses. 1Are you alright?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A slight pain
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek shifts to get out, peering back slightly at Erevis, he frowns and moves after Athena.
<Kit> <Megumi> <There are reports of Iceheart creating... situations. Attacking ships. Does this sound like the one we know?>
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Do you need a moment?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <Not really>
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not wish for Tiny Kitten to leave my sight
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Alright. 6He shifts to help her.
<DeathStar> 6* Elwyn, Kellin, Drasek, and Athena are led into the concert hall and into the back, where flowers are set up, pretty colors, everything. Athena oos.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans on him for support. She pauses, peering back at the seat where it's damp
<Kit> <Megumi> <Freyja's always with her. There's no way, surely.> 6She sighs, messaging Ao that there's no advice she can give, then, given nothing to go from, unfortunately. She peers over at Erevis, blinking.
<Kit> <Megumi> Oh for heaven's sake...
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses. 1Oh god. It...it's time?
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Ba-lud-ee hell.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I--do not feel contractions. 6* Megumi would smell some blood
<DeathStar> <Kyun> Is it to your liking? 6* Athena nods happily
<DeathStar> <Athena> Elwyn, lets get dressed! 6* She drags her into the changing room
<Kit> <Megumi> I-- Beloved, you need to be examined right away. It... might be a mis--" 6She pauses.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> This place is craaaaazy cool. Nice work. 6He gives Kyun a thumbs up.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Me? I wore a su-- h-hey!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans against the limo, catching her breath.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos widens his eyes slightly and glances to Erevis. 1Crap. I..we need a hospital.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps back over to Megumi. "What's wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would not go to any Tsivrixsh hospital.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Then we need to get you back to the PAX.
<Kit> <Megumi> It might be a miscarriage, beloved. You need to.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And leave Tiny Kitten alone here?
<Kit> <Megumi> She is not alone.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> As much as I don't want to leave her, this is serious.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll stay here with her.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Plus I can keep Megumi updated
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Right." 6She nods reluctantly to Zephyr.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> So it's settled then? Come'on let's get you back in the limo. 6He shifts to help her back in.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I--- .... 6* She makes a face. "I do not want to go back!"
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Well you're not getting a choice in the matter. I'm sorry.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <If you want to stay here, I can go back with Erevis.>
<Kit> <Megumi> Beloved, you have a choice. Stay here and likely the child dies, you die as well, and then you make us all clearly sad. You go to a tsivrixsh center and possibly save the child, or we go back to PAX with significantly lower chances of either.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She sighs. "Very well."
<Kit> <Megumi> <No, you are correct. If something were to happen, you are more useful. Sorry.>
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves up to inform the driver about what's going on, then moves to get into the back.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena dresses Elwyn up in an idol outfit like her own, then poses with her
<Kit> <Elwyn> Ah, man. So don't see myself in stuff like this.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena takes picture, then sends it to Billy
<DeathStar> 6* The driver nods. Zephyr hugs Megumi
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <You be safe.>
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin shifts and tries to karate chop Drasek when he's not looking, causing him to just eye him. Kellin slumps back and then glances to Kyun. 1What do your people do for fun?
<DeathStar> <Kyun> We enjoy to do battle.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Well that's no fun at all.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> You fight? Is it...deadly?
<DeathStar> <Kyun> It can be
<DeathStar> 6* Athena kisses Elwyn, then grins. "Since Jennee left, should perform song with Athena in her place."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Whoooaaa. That's no good.
<DeathStar> 6* The driver begins to drive off. Erevis makes faces
<Kit> 6Elwyn deadpans. 1"So that was your scheme."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Unless they were dirty rotten jerks that deserved it of course.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Please? Billy told Athena that Elwyn has 'good lungs on her'. Then went fufufu
<DeathStar> 6* Elwyn's datapad beeps.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Yeah, I can sing. you made me karaoke, remember? Just don't much care for crowds. 'Course she means something else..." 6She pauses, bringing her datapad out and eyeing it.
<DeathStar> 6* It's a live videofeed from Billy. It's marked urgent
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek peers around with his arms crossed still, watching Kellin and Kyun talk.
<Kit> 6Elwyn blinks, opening it.
<DeathStar> <Kyun> If you are interested, I am sure we could have you do battle in the arena.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Elwyn, you need to get back to PAX now.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Me? Why?
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin jerks. 1Oh no. I'm no fighter. I'm more of a lover, if you catch my drift. 6he leans forward slightly and winks.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Well, my spies tell me your mom has gone crazy, destroyed a ship, and is now on her way here. And the PAX has been given orders to destroy her if it means keeping the peace
<DeathStar> <Kyun> Are you Athena's lover, then?
<Kit> <Elwyn> Psh, yeah. As if.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena peers over worriedly
<DeathStar> <Billy> I'm not kidding. Loki just told Ao 20 mins ago. Ao has the ship on yellow alert.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin jerks again. 1Not this one, no.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Billy, Ice Momma's not the kind to 'go crazy...'
<DeathStar> <Kyun> There is more than one?
<DeathStar> <billy> Yeah, but I saw her shooting up experimental drugs a few months ago. Can you be sure she's in her right mind?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Nope. Not anymore.
<Kit> <Elwyn> She wouldn't just... take drugs either. Billy, why have you been spying on her?
<DeathStar> 6* The driver heads back to the shuttleport, getting caught in traffic.
<DeathStar> <Billy> She means a lot to two people I care about. And I'm telling you - you should get back to the PAX. I'm worried. I can't get in touch with Freyja, either. It's like her mind's... not right
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos fidgets. 1Is there anyway you can move faster, or get ahold of Kyun to let him know what's goin on?
<Kit> <Elwyn> ... ...Tch. Fine." 6She cuts the feed.
<DeathStar> 6* The driver takes a comm to try to contact Kyun.
<DeathStar> <Driver> IT will take a few.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis groans a bit. "I do not like this pain."
<DeathStar> <Athena> Elwyn okay?
<Kit> <Elwyn> No, something's come up. Sorry, kiddo. I can't sing tonight.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps up to Drasek now. "Hey."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We really don't have that kind of time, do you know of any hospitals close that we could get too?
<Kit> <Elwyn> Kyun, was it..!? I need to get back to the PAX. Now.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods, hugging Elwyn. "Be safe."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek glances to Zephyr. 1'lo there.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No! The PAX only. 6* She stresses.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin pauses. 1Huh?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ... 6He tchs and rubs his face. 1Just try to hold on, then.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyun peers at Elwyn. "Of course, I will arrange a shuttle for you immediately."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Kit> <Elwyn> Is the shuttle atmosphere capable?
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Ao drums her fingers on the chair, eyeing the time, then the viewscreen
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So what brings you here, Shiva?
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Business mostly
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus busies himself, to keep from eavesdropping on Shiva and Kat.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter sets down a clipboard and peers towards Jeniffer. 1You should probably get ready to go.
* Jennifer blinks, "You sure you'll be alright here?"
<Xanatos> <Carter> I would have been able to handle it alone. 6He notes.
* Chad`Winters steps off the telepad and into his zone.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes a message from Megumi, then sends a message to the medical bay for them to get ready for Erevis - something's wrong with the baby. She eyes the shuttle coming up
<DeathStar> <Ao> ... Windsdammit@!
<Jennifer> "I'll just finish up my repor--- Oh jeez."
<Xanatos> 6* Carter pauses. 1Hm. Well that's not a good sign.
<Kit> 6Dawn peers back at Ao, raising an eyebrow.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya frowns in concern, trying to scan for Iceheart's ship. Elwyn's shuttle is moments behind Xan's.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki moves upto Shiva, whispering in her ear.
* Jennifer eyes the message. "Nope. Can you get a bed ready? I'll meet the shuttle."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis groans on the shuttle, her forehead covered in sweat. She mumbles incoherantly about Kitten finding her unappealing
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva glances back at Loki and nods.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter nods. 1Take a gurney. 6he moves to get the bed ready.
<Kit> <Megumi> Wh-What is she saying..!?
* Jennifer heads for the teleporter, checking where the shuttle is coming in as she grabs the gurney.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves for the PAX. 1Don't worry about it.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis kneels by Erevis worriedly, haing stuck with htem. She holds Erevis' hand
<Kit> <Megumi> Of course-- I will!
<DeathStar> <Isis> Shhh, Momma, it is okay. Focus on my voice, please.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Something wrong?
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I think you should focus on her, don't you?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos moves to bring them into the shuttle and land.
<Xanatos> NRP: hanger.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis groans, then asks Isis if she and Megumi would like fish
* Jennifer hits the button and teleports, heading over to the shuttle as it's landing.
<Kit> <Megumi> ..
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Nothing that we can't take care of. 6He gives her a smile and he moves off to the telepad, hitting the bridge again to deal with this personally
<DeathStar> <Isis> I think the stress of the labor is causing the poison to act up
<Kit> 6Dawn looks up as Loki reappears, frowning.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts to power down the shuttle and moves over to open the ramp.
* Jennifer manuvers the gurney over toward the ramp.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki glance at Dawn. 1"If you don't like me here, you should leave then." 6He looks at Ao. 1"Has the ship appeared?"
<Kit> 6Dawn makes a face as Loki attacks him for no reason.
<DeathStar> <Ao> I'd appreciate it if you didn't talk to my crew like that when we're helping you
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos shifts over to help Erevis up and to the gurney. 1Is Caduceus here?
* X1 has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grunts, reaching up. "Kitten...? Xanatos...?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes beloved?
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Sorry, I get really defensive when I'm under stress. 6He seem sincere about that too.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> We're here.
<Jennifer> "Nope, me and Carter." *she moves the gurney up*
<DeathStar> 6* Ao nods. "I understand."
<DeathStar> <Ao> She hasn't appeared yet.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Right now we're holding position to get Erevis secured.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos makes a face. 1Let's get her to the medbay.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> May I? 6He motions to Aya's controls
* Jennifer nods, helping Xan get her onto the gurney, then steering it to the teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, then shifts aside for him
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis reaches for Megumi's hand, trying to find it
<DeathStar> 6* Isis follows along.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos grabs Megumi's hand and moves after them, looking worried. He places it on Erevis' hand.
<Kit> 6Dawn pauses, then moves to his own terminal and brings up the views and scans, instead of searching empty space and entries from other systems, scans around toward the planet.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki sits down, tapping his foot a few times before typing something on it, clearly looking for a specific thing
<DeathStar> <Isis> We should give her something to counteract the poison. Maybe something that will calm her vitals
<Kit> 6Megumi grips Erevis lightly as Xanatos does.
* Jennifer starts a scan as she moves them, not wasting any time, she gets the gurney onto the teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6* The baby seems to have turned lazily in typical Marcus fashion, and is pushing against things it shouldn't.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> So how's life been?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well. Our child will be born any day now.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> Excited?
<Xanatos> 6* Carter moves into Cad's office to see if he can find anything about the poison that could cause problems for them.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "Very."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and sneezes.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I must admit, you look stunningly well
<DeathStar> 6* There's a file o nthe computer about a possible antidote -- untested.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Thank you. But Erevis is carrying the child.
* Jennifer frowns and hits the button for medical, wheeling her in right away. "Well I know the problem. The baby's shifted in the womb, it's pressing against some of the wrong things."
<DeathStar> <Isis> Should one of us contact Mr. Jones?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds Megumi's hand, smiling at her
<DeathStar> 6* Loki would get a sudden ping
<Xanatos> 6* Carter hmms and checks it over. Xanatos pauses and nods. 1I will.
<Chad`Winters> <Shiva> I heard, I didn't want to be the one to bring it up.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki sneers a bit. 1"I found it."
<DeathStar> <Ao> Found what?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses when his comm dings and he steps over the counter to answer it, frowning and going slightly pale his clicks it off. 1Erevis was rushed to the medbay. It sounds like the child shifted or...something, I dunno really Xan is kinda freaking out.
<Kit> 6Dawn peers over, then calmly localizes Loki's processes to his screen as well.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Move to these coordinates. 6He give sthem to her
<Kit> <Megumi> Everything will be fine, beloved.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Also open up a channel on this frequency.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao nods to Aya to move them forward.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter steps out and moves to get a sample of the antidote ready, just in case.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6* She rises, looking worried.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Should we go?
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva looks at the two, clearly showing concern
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are pretty....my pretty kitten....a pretty little goddess...
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I uh. Well it's our kid. 6He moves to urge people out of the bar, clicking the closed sign on.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' vitals drop a bit
<DeathStar> 6* Since her doctor, Jennifer, isn't doing anything. Ho ho
* Jennifer works to kepe her stable as she moves her to the OR.
<Xanatos> <Carter> Tell me something, Jennifer. 6He moves after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods, giving Shiva an apologetic look, and hurries.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya opens up a comm line.
<DeathStar> <Aya> They're receiving.
<Chad`Winters> 6Shiva just gives her a sympathetic look.
<Jennifer> "The baby's shifted in the womb, it's pressing against some vital organs."
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Iceheart, this is Loki. What is going on?"
<Xanatos> <Carter> We'll have to do a C-Section. Get her prepped and ready, I'll get the numbing medicine.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter shifts to Xanatos and Megumi. 1I'm going to ask that one of you step out. 6 Xanatos pauses and does so.
* Jennifer nods, setting her up in the OR already.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus waits for Kat to get on the teleporter before hitting Medbay, moving in, looking around worriedly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina enters the medical bay. She steps over to Xanatos
* Jennifer watches her vitals carefully because of Erevis' unique condition.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart apperas on the screen. Freyja is with her, and something seems off about them both; Freyja almost looks like she did in her evil days
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Loki. Why are you here?
* Jennifer gets out the equipment for a preterm birth, including life support.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> I am the ambassador for the Cartel currently.
<DeathStar> <Ao> ... 6* She squints, leaning forward.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I'm referring to this system.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter moves to give her some numbing medicing. 1Alright. Give it a second, then get started.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Oh that. I believe we're here because Athena is having a concert here. 6He shifts his hands behind his back. 1"But what are you doing here when you're supposed to be at the edge of Cartel space?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps mumbling about Megumi being pretty
<Kit> 6Megumi frowns. 1"..." 6She reluctantly moves out.
* Jennifer nods, letting the medications take effect, watching her vitals.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I'm here to do what the galaxy should have done a long time ago. I'm going to wipe these barbarians out
<DeathStar> 6* Isis sits down, looking worried. Billy, meanwhile, contacts Elwyn. <Billy> I feel Freyja; she's near
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> And why would you want to do that? 6He shifts a datapad behind his back, typing a message to Ao to see.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Yeah, I know. Only one close to the level of energy I have.
<Jennifer> "Alright, watch her vitals while I work. The baby's lungs might not be fully developed yet, hence the extra care equipment." *she makes sure Erevis is ready, then starts surgery*
<Kit> 6Elwyn scowls. 1"Besides you, that is."
<Xanatos> 6* Carter walks over and checks to see how the poison is affecting Erevis while they wait.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I found evidence the Tsivrixsh gave the Ridiarium support in the Ridiarium War. They helped fund their attacks on the colonies. 6* She notes coldly.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I already sent the Ridiariums a little surprise.
<Kit> <Elwyn> I took the shuttle myself and I'm high-tailing it, but it'll still take a few minutes.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> You know that's not how we handle things in the Cartel.
<DeathStar> 6* Her vitals seem to be growing more out of whack by the moment from the stress of the baby being positioned wrong
<Kit> <Freyja> Sometimes in order to maintain balance, you have to act outside the light and its rules.
<Kit> 6Freyja smiles sweetly.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> But to do it so blatantly bluntly?
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I'm burning them like they did my family. 6* She cuts the connection
<Xanatos> 6* Carter hmms and shifts to give her a stress reducer that won't damage the baby.
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki sneers and he looks at Ao quickly. 1"Can you lock in on them?
<DeathStar> <Ao> Our teleporters won't be able to get her. They're mostly internal teleporters. We'd have to adjust them
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> How long?
<DeathStar> <Ao> It could be 10 minutes. 6* She contacts Chad to let him know
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis calms, still holding Megumi's hand
<DeathStar> <Billy> Fuuu...
* Jennifer works carefully, but diligently. She seems to have gotten over her issues with children.
<Kit> 6Megumi apparently couldn't leave!
* Chad`Winters glances at his datapad and he clicks his tongue, moving quickly out of his place and for the telepad and hitting engineering. He begins to move to his terminal and work
<Kit> <Elwyn> What now, Billy?
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Well then we need to stall her until then. Any ideas?
<DeathStar> <Billy> I sense trouble.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Got a location?
<DeathStar> 6* The new engineers work as well
<DeathStar> 6* Billy messages Aya sweetly, gets the location, then sends it to Elwyn
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus takes Kat's hand, sitting down, while Xanatos paces constantly.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers down
* Chad`Winters lets them know what they have to do and starts working.
<Kit> <Elwyn> Thanks, kiddo. I'll go say hello, then." 6She notes, altering her course.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to relax some. She begins to talk about sex with Megumi, not aware of where she's at.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Does she even have weapons that could damage a planet?
<Kit> 6Megumi pauses, reddening. 1"B-B-Beloved..!"
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> I can't really confirm or deny that.
<Kit> 6Dawn shrugs at Ao. The fox can do some largescale damage, but not for long enough to really injure a ...planet.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Kitten gave me my first orgasm with a woman. My third overall.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter takes a scanner and checks to see if she's ready.
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Kit> <Megumi> Third?" 6She hangs her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya squints. "Sensors are detecting something building up. It's readings aren't like anything she ever seen."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos insisted on doing me twice the night before he died.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Then yes, yes she can.
<DeathStar> <Aya> The numbers make no sense. They're...completely random and jumping. No energy has readings like this.
<DeathStar> <Ao> ... what the hell is she using?
<Kit> 6Dawn tilts his head, peering at it.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Probabl something experiemental. But I advise we try to stop it before a war starts
<DeathStar> <Ao> You want us to shoot her?
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> If we have to.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao frowns, then eyes Dawn. "Target the energy build up."
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Otherwise give me a way to stop her from using it
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> You know. Like ram in to her maybe?
<Kit> 6Dawn sighs a bit, nodding.
<Xanatos> <Carter> Jennifer. Any day now.
<DeathStar> <Ao> I'm not risking taking the PAX near the energy
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Well I'd say comm her again, but clearly she won't listen to me anymore
<Jennifer> "We're almost there."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Another shuttle is going near Iceheart's ship
<Xanatos> 6* Carter keeps check of her vitals, as well as the child's.
<Kit> 6Elwyn hums a hymn-like song as she leaves Tsivrixsh's atmosphere, eyeing the shuttle instrument panels and locking her course on a chicken route with Iceheart's.
<DeathStar> <Ao> .. Fire now. Before it gets close. It looks Tsivrixshian
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Sure you want to attack a Tsiv ship in Tsiv space?
<DeathStar> 6* The child shifts suddenly and Erevis' vitals drop
<DeathStar> <Ao> It's why we're firing now.
<Kit> <Megumi> B-Beloved?!
<DeathStar> <Ao> Dawn, fire!
<Kit> 6Elwyn shifts, activating the shuttle's distress signal.
* Jennifer shifts her work slightly both to avoiding hurting the child and to stablize Erevis.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter frowns. 1She's dropping. Pick up the pace or we'll lose her.
<DeathStar> 6* Prepare yourself, Jennifer.
* X1 has joined #taw
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Up, Down, Right, Right, Left, Left, Up, Down, Right, Left, Left, Right, Down, Up

<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer cuts wrong and Erevis begins to bleed. BLEED
* Jennifer keeps calm and works to control the bleeding.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes Dawn. "Okay, you're fired." 6* She moves over and hits the button herself.
<Kit> 6Dawn struggles to keep up with the routines he used to do one-handed, blinking and gesturing to Aya about the signal.
<DeathStar> 6* The PAX's shot hits the energy build up and there's a blinding flash of light; Elwyn's shuttle is rocked by the impact; Iceheart's ship decloaks
<Xanatos> 6* Carter makes a face and moves to get Erevis started on a blood drip to keep her stable.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> That should've destabilized her and taken down the shields.
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer, prepare yourself to see if you can correct your mistake
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Down, Right, Left
<DeathStar> 5
<Kit> <Elwyn> Oh son of a--" 6She reaches over, shutting the distress off. 1"Impatient bastards."

<Jennifer> dulr
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart's ship begins to pull back
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> We can't let her retreat. Can you lock on and pull her in?
<Kit> 6Elwyn hrmphs, strafing a few shots ahead of her path.
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer manages to correct her error
<DeathStar> <Ao> We don't have a tractor beam, no
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart sends a missile at Elwyn's shuttle, then turns, moving off; apparantly her main weapon is offline
* Jennifer continues to work on getting the baby out. "Make sure that LS unit it ready."
<Jennifer> *is
<Kit> 6Elwyn keeps moving forward, only shifting to dodge when there's less time so it has less time to readjust and follow her, chasing Iceheart anyway. She fires in a taps-rhythym.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> The most advanced ship in the cosmos and no tractor beam? 6He hangs his head a bit. 1"Well we need to either get her out of this system then get her or take care of her now.
<DeathStar> <Ao> It's broken and takes energy we need in other systems.
<Xanatos> <Carter> It's ready. Just focus on what you're doing. 6He looks ready to take the child so Jennifer can focus on keeping Erevis alive.
<DeathStar> 6* The baby smacks Jennifer once Jennifer gets near it. It's a boy.
<DeathStar> 6* The missile detonates when it passes Elwyn; Iceheart seemed to have been watching; the explosion knocks Elwyn's shuttle out of control, alarms going off as her shields fail
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Keep up with her.
<Xanatos> 6* Carter slides the unit over to take the child and work to get it stabilized.
<Kit> 6Elwyn grumbles. 1"Smart bitch." 6She reams on the controls to get it stabilized.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya speaks up. "The Tsivrixsh are demanding to know why we're leaving our designated area. Tehy're telling us to go back." 6* Cruises begin to move in toward Iceheart's ship as well
<Jennifer> "Well he's a little fighter." *she passes him off to Carter and works on Erevis*
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Bossy little bastards.
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart sends another missile at Elwyn's shuttle. The missile hits, blowing it up. Billy stares in disbelief from the hanger.
<DeathStar> <Ao> ... Stand down. We have to tell them what we're doing if we're going to pursue her, Loki
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart leaps into hyperspace a moment later.
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Do you actually feel that you can pursue them?
<DeathStar> <Ao> We can travel faster, if we can guess where she's going.
<DeathStar> <Ao> But I'm not leaving without Athena.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems stable after a bit, unconscious still
<Kit> <Megumi> Is it over?
* Jennifer finishes up the surgery and cleans up, breathing as she looks over at Carter. "How's Slugger?"
<Xanatos> 6* Carter make sure the baby is breathing and it's vitals check out before he would wrap it up in a blanket.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, then speaks. "We have a problem - there's a cloaked energy signature heading for the planet.":
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki presses his hands against his forehead as he thinks deeply. He looks at Aya, sneering a bit. 1"We need to stop it. And I don't think shooting it will be the best idea.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Okay, this bitch is pissing me off.
<DeathStar> <Aya> What can we do?
<DeathStar> 6* The baby acts all friendly to Carter, crying like a healthy baby.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> Either teleport it in a safe direction or open up a hyperspace window and carry it through the planet.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao opens a messaeg to Chad. "Can we actually teleport energy safely?"
<Xanatos> 6* Carter lifts it up and nods. 1He's fine. 6He shifts to move out and give him to Kat and Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands up, and moves over to the baby. "Is he...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> No. Teleporting it would cause it to explode.
<Kit> 6Megumi puts a hand to Erevis' forehead.
<Xanatos> <Carter> He's healthy and it seems he's a cranky. 6He Marcus jumps up, eyes wide.
* Jennifer watches Erevis' vitals still as she finishes up.
<DeathStar> <Ao> ... if we teleport it now, it shouldn't hurt the planet, right?
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos pauses and pokes his head into the OR. 1Can I come in?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes. "Hi, Kitten."
<Jennifer> "Sure, Mr. Durran."
<Xanatos> NRP: a little cranky.
<Kit> <Megumi> Hello, beloved.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> I'd need to see what we're teleporting and it's distances.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos slips in and moves over to stand by them.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Chad, teleport the energy, try to direct the teleport ... 6* She names a direction. "See if the explosion will go that wy."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Has Tiny Kitten begun singing yet...?
<Xanatos> 6* Carter holds the baby towards Katrina. 1I believe he wants his mother.
<Jennifer> "Due to the circumstances we're going to have to be a bit more strict about her rest during recovery. I'd like to keep her here so we can monitor her for a bit as well."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina steps over, taking it, smiling with tears in her eyes
<DeathStar> <Katrina> He's beautiful.
<Kit> 6Dawn makes a face at the idea. Using wind to control fire.
<Kit> <Megumi> I-- am unsure, beloved.
<DeathStar> <Aya> The energy is growing more unstable.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Understood. 6He brings up the information to his terminal eyeing it and using Ao's directions he hits the teleport button once he has it locked on
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus wraps his arm around Kat, peering at the child in awe. 1<Carter> He punched Jennifer, so I believe he's got a little of his father in him.
<DeathStar> 6* A giant explosion goes off, and a shockwave shakes the PAX. Ice shards form in space, growing in size; clearly Iceheart planned to give the energy her signature move
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki frowns at that, actually looking pissed for once.
<DeathStar> 6* The giant ice shards continue to grow about the area around Tsivrixsh space, taking up a large amount; one shuttle is iced.
<DeathStar> <Ao> ... What the hell
* Jennifer holds onto the gurney to keep it steady, looking up, then back at Erevis' vitals.
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> I'd suggest trying to use this ship to slow it down the best you can.
<DeathStar> <Aya> We're lucky, they're taknig up orbit, but it'll block traffic to most of the planet
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos leans forward slightly. 1You're baby free now lady.
<DeathStar> <Ao> It's almost like she counted on us to stop it
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. I am glad. The next child will be ours. 6* She mumbles to Megumi and Xan, closing her eyes
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Marcus. "What should we call him?"
<Kit> <Megumi> N-Next?
<Chad`Winters> <Loki> She might try to come from the back side of the planet.
* Jennifer smiles softly. "She's got spirit."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I uh. Well. 6He leans in to whisper a name.
<DeathStar> 6* Billy enters the teleport pad. "She's not coming back; they're heading for Earth. I managed to gleem that from Freyja. They're going to force Chii to reunite with Freyja like 'old times'."
* Chad`Winters eyes the readings, clicking his tongue at the results
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods to Jennifer. 1We'll get out of the way so you can get her cleaned up a bit and get her to a public room. 6He reaches out to take Megumi's hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya begins to talk to the Tsivrixsh, who demand an explanation. "They're not happy."
<Chad`Winters> 6Loki looks at Billy at that. 1"You're positive about that?"
<Jennifer> "Thanks Mr. Durran."
<DeathStar> <Billy> Yes. They took Elwyn.
<Jennifer> "I'll have her out so you two can see her again ASAP."
<Kit> 6Dawn glances back at Billy, looking confused.
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos nods and moves out with Megumi.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Concert HAll
<DeathStar> 6* Athena finishes singing and bops out into the back, panting and sweating, but looking happy. She pauses as guards move up, and Kyun is frowning
<DeathStar> <Kyun> We ask you all come with us; the PAX just attacked our planet.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What?!
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek arches a brow. 1You sure there's not some sorta mistake there, mate?
<Kit> <Megumi> <It was Iceheart.>
<DeathStar> <Kyun> They fired into space, then giant ice shards appeared in space; our planet has been blockaded by it. Until we get explanation, we need to hold you
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> <I---see.> It wasn't us. 6* She notes.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Why us!? We didn't do anything, we just put on a show.
<Kit> <Megumi> <Ask him why we would attack a planet holding our own children, Zephyr.>
<DeathStar> <Kyun> Her parents run PAX. 6* He eyes Zephyr. "Then please inform me what happened. This way." 6* He motions them to follow. Zephyr nods mentally to Kyun, then begins to talk.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a makeshift outfit ith medical blankets, sitting in the shuttle as they get closer to Cypher's signature, when comes across as 'doots'.
* Jennifer is now known as Tabetha
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks anxious. 1"A-Are we t here yet?"
* Tabetha sits in her underthings and a long coat, Peter having tossed it on her for the sake of decency.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the data, then motions Cole to bring them in low; up ahead is a small valley in the desert areas of North America
<Xanatos> 6* Cole brings them low, carefully.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The data seems to indicate they're in the valley. 6* She finally takes the controls and brings them in to land near it
<Kit> <Key> Finally find X?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Key now then at Cheryl a look of hope that he'll find his family member
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I hope so
* Tabetha gets up, closing the coat around herself, it's a bit too big. She fixes her hair and heads for the ramp. Peter checks his weapons and gets up.
<Xanatos> <Cole> I hope this is it. I'm kinda getting tired of being lead on by these assholes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets out of the shuttle and moves forward. She eyes the valley. "Raquel, chain ripple us to this spot." 6* She points
<Kit> <Key> Key show goddess' anger!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves out quickly
<Xanatos> 6* Kane gets to his feet and checks his weapons.
<Tabetha> Peter> "I'm with Cole on this one."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Raquel, then Cole. "Guess we have to depend on your teleports."
<Ariel> 6* Raquel nods and takes a breath, preparing the first ripple and sending them on the way
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks, grunts, and moves through the ripple.
<Xanatos> <Cole> She just needed a minute to get ready is all. 6He smiles to Raquel.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves through after her
<Xanatos> 6* Kane and Cole both move through the ripple.
* Tabetha and Peter move through the ripple.
<Kit> 6Key moves with them, then pauses, peering around. 1"John?"
<DeathStar> 6* John leaps thorugh the ripple heroically
<DeathStar> 6* Adn hits a wall on the other side
<Kit> 6Key shakes her head, helping John up
<Ariel> 6* Raquel winces, "...careful."
<Tabetha> * Peter shakes his head at John. "It was a good setup though."
<DeathStar> 6* After a long process that drains Raquel, they arrive mid-way down the valley, where metallic doors can be seen, big enough for a shuttle; two cameras are on the outside
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's the place.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias squats as he peers at the doors.
<Tabetha> Peter> "Should we take out the cameras?"
<Xanatos> 6* Cole holds up his fingers like their guns, glancing to Cheryl.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> W-Won't they know?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel takes a deep breath, trying not to show her fatigue.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It would be better if we could hack them remotely.
<Kit> 6Key shrugs, looking sheepish
<Tabetha> Peter> "Fair enough." *he looks at Kane*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane arches a brow slightly and pulls out his datapad. 1Hmm. Let's hope I still have the ability.
<Kit> 6Key sulks. 1"Key can't use power like used to."
<DeathStar> 6* John squeezes Key's rear.
<Tabetha> Peter> "If you do, you have my vote next term."
<Kit> 6Key jerks, peering at him with a scowl
* Tabetha rocks on her heels, watching the doors.
<DeathStar> 6* With Kane's l33t skills, he manages to loop the camera feed, and pen the doors. Cheryl moves forward.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane slides the datapad into his pocket and moves forward. Cole seems sad he didn't get to shoot stuff as he moves.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves after Cheryl
<Ariel> 6* Raquel heads forward cautiously, drawing her gun.
<DeathStar> 6* A shuttle can be seen in the hanger, and a few guards stand about, moving to inspect the doors open.
* Tabetha forms her gun, Peter pulls out his own they move after Cheryl.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole oohs and glances to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* John moves in; he eyes the guards approaching; Cheryl eyes the shuttle bay; there's plenty of objects to hide behind, so she picks some crates
<Kit> 6Key blinks at the guards, trying to picture something to fight with
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias baseball slides behind a carate
<DeathStar> 6* Key gains---a broom
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks and slumps again, then slides by Cheryl. Kane also move to hide by some crates.
<Kit> 6Key stares at it, then takes it with her to hide.
* Tabetha hides behind some crates, Peter moves behind some other ones.
<DeathStar> 6* John hides. Cheryl motions for them to take out the guards quietly.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel takes cover behind a crate
<Xanatos> 6* Cole tenses and then leaps out to tackle the closest one, moving for a quick and efficient head snap.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leaps over his crate and at another one, moving to tackle and punch him in the face
<Kit> 6Key springs out and uses the reach given to her by her broom-- aiming for the side of the next one's knee
* Tabetha and Peter hold back, since their way of solving things would be loud.
<DeathStar> 6* Teh guard is hit, falling backwards
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias kicks off for the last one spin kicking for his legs
<DeathStar> 6* The guard, oce hiting the ground, fires at Key
<DeathStar> 6* Dias kicks the other guards' legs ou; he hits the ground, firing wildly
<Kit> 6Key jumps back, eeking
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks to grab the mans hand and punch him in the face to knock him out
<DeathStar> 6* John leaps in and smashes the mna's face in with his foot
<DeathStar> 6* The guards go silent
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> S-Sorry.
<Tabetha> * Peter groans a bit and aims his gun at Key's attacker, he stops when John literally steps in.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl groans as a voice says to investigate the hanger
<Kit> <Key> ...Th-Thanks
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks up and grabs the one guard, dragging him towards a crate
<Xanatos> <Kane> Let's drag them out of the way and deal with these new guards.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole gets his guy and moves to hide him.
<DeathStar> 6* As Kane says this, a ripple opens and a robot steps out
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Too late.
* Tabetha frowns, forming a second gun.
<Tabetha> Peter> "Every single time."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns to look at Cheryl and he spins, hurling the guard for the robot
<DeathStar> 6* The guard hits the robot
<Xanatos> <Kane> Tch. 6He frowns. 1This is going to be difficult.
<DeathStar> 6* John puts on his spiked gloves, and Cheryl activates her whip.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel fires for the robot's head, moving to take cover in her tired state
<Tabetha> * Peter aims and starts fiting for the robot's head.
<Tabetha> *firing
<DeathStar> <General Teer> So the infamous elite military unit has finally found us. 6* He speaks over the comm.
<DeathStar> 6* The robot opens a ripple, and Peter's shots strike cheryl in the back
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jumps up onto a crack and crackles with electricty.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans forward and he begins to move at the robot.
<Tabetha> * Peter grumbles and puts up his gun. "Sorry boss."
<Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes Peter and looks Cheryl over.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl bleeds, making a face.
* Tabetha moves around towards the robot's back, keeping cover.
<DeathStar> 6* The robot aims and fires holy arrows at Cheryl. <Cheryl> Now, while it's using that move!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls to avoid
<Kit> 6Key wields her broom, puffing her cheeks
<Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to roll along with Cheryl.

<Kit> 6Key charges valiantly, going for a clothesline-like move with the broom
<Xanatos> 6* Cole hops off the crate and walks towards it.
* Tabetha hops up from behind and fires her guns at it's back.
<DeathStar> 6* The robot is shot a few times; it pushes Dias into Tab's shots after being punched
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias howls out in pain as he hits the ground
<DeathStar> <General Teer's voice> Prepare to evacuate the base. Move the two prizes.
* Tabetha eeps and dismisses her guns, rushing over to check on him.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rushes in at the robot, who fires a holy beam at her; it's head is sparking
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twists to avoid it
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks and dashes forward to cut out for the neck with his katars.
<Kit> 6Key aims her broom for the sparking head. 1"Hyaa!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias groans as he pushes himself up stubbornly. 1"W-Won't let them t-take X and L-Lemon."
<Tabetha> * Peter takes another shot at it's head when it fires.
<DeathStar> 6* The head is knocked off; it's body explodes
<Xanatos> 6 Cole shifts to bring up an electric to shield to reduce as much damage as possible.
<Kit> 6Key pauses, flailing as her broom is set afire by Peter's shot, then gets knocked back by it exploding
<Tabetha> Peter> "I hate those fucking things."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tumbles back from the explosion and he slowly rises again
<Ariel> Raquel> "...cheap, mass produced, copies."
<Xanatos> 6* Kane gets to his feet and sends out a message to Darien to get teams to converge on his location, providing coordinates.
<Kit> 6Key groans, slowly pushing herself back up
* Tabetha tumbles with Dias, she whimpers and helps Dias up. "You okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl limps forward for an exit, holding her wounds. Entering the hanger, 30 guards surround X and Lemon, who are on floating medical beds. Teer is with them. Three more robots ripple in
<DeathStar> <Teer> Get this robot reprogrammed now.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Y-Yes. 6He is clearly lieing and he eyes the two on medbeds. 1"T-THERE THEY ARE!"
<DeathStar> 6* He moves for a huge ship in the hanger wiht his guards; the guards set up position to fire at the team. John dives behind cover, and Cheryl does the same
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks and rolls behind some cover.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole tenses and eyes them. 1Oh you just made a mistake, pal. 6He shifts to dive behind cover.
* Tabetha ducks for cover with Dias, Peter dives behind some crates.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel drops behind cover. She attempts to open a ripple under Lemon, to get her away from the villians.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane slides around cover and brings up his rifle, shifting to kneel around sligthly and start taking shots for soldier.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon floats over the ripple.
<Kit> 6Key limps over to where they're hiding, peering out for herself, jerking as she's almost shot, then pouts.
<Kit> <Key> M-Must think ... how to ...stop. Ship." 6She fumes.
<DeathStar> <John> We're not going to get close to them with that many guards.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> W-What about t-that s-shuttle?
<DeathStar> 6* Raquel has the energy for nly 1 ripple now
<Tabetha> * Peter pulls out his sniper rifle and snaps it into place, peeking out to get a shot.

<DeathStar> 6* Teer points at Cole; 10 guards fire at Cole
<DeathStar> 6* The three robots approach the team now
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Shit. SHIT SHIT SHIT
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> J-John c-can you u-use that s-shuttle to a-attack them?
<Xanatos> 6* Cole leaps back and throws out lightning for them.
<Tabetha> "We are significantly outnumbered. What do we do?"
<DeathStar> <John> I'd never reach it.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts and fires for another soldier, making a tch sound.
<Kit> <Key> ...I believe John could!!
<Tabetha> * Peter tries to get a shot at Teer.
<DeathStar> 6* Cole takes down one, but the guards shots take Cole out, leaving him injured.
<Kit> 6Key flails, then tenses her fists, eyeing John determinedly.
<DeathStar> <John> ... 6* He whimpers. Rising like a man on death row, he runs in slow motion for the shuttle
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns, then turns and begins kicking crates towards the guards to give John cover
<Kit> 6Key runs in after him, hurtling her flaming broom at the first thing she sees.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel starts firing wildly into the guards, trying to encourage them to take cover
<DeathStar> 6* Somehow, John makes it through teh valley of death, but a ripple opens up in front of him and a fist hits his nose.
<DeathStar> 6* X and Lemon are almost at the ship
<Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around for any type of in house security he can use.
<DeathStar> 6* John goes down.
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be guns - but they're far in the corner
<Kit> 6Key snaps her hands forward, trying to do what she did to Ripple-- run the hand down into its own ripple
<DeathStar> 6* Another robot fires holy arrows at Dias
<Kit> <Key> Joooohn!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rolls to the side to try and avoid
<DeathStar> 6* The robot loses it's arm. John crawls for the shuttle
<Kit> 6Key stoops to help him, wary of more ripples. She's quite perceptive!
* Tabetha rolls to the side as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is grabbed by the third robot, and fights it tooth and nail. The guards throw a grenade at Raquel's position. She has 3 seconds.

<DeathStar> 6* The grenade explodes, sending them both flying with damage. John howls, his arm almost torn
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pushes himself to his feet. 1Operation Electro spider!
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher doots, and leaps out
<Ariel> 6* Raquel fires more carefully at the guards now, trying to actually hit them instead of just frightening them off
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts and sprints towards the 3rd robot, sprinting at it
<DeathStar> 6* Raquel takes out two.
* Tabetha starts taking shots at the guards from her position.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon and X pass Cole's position; 7 guards run up to Cole, firing

<DeathStar> <John> Okay...Key...hit the red button.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole makes a last ditch effor to grab Lemon and X, tensing to try and teleport them out of the base completely.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rolls and kicks off, his hand grabbing a rifle from one of hte earlier guards. He grabs it like a bat and swings it for a robot's head
<Kit> 6Key makes a face, reaching up without looking to fumble for it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cole gets hit by a shot to the face from Teer
<Ariel> 6* Raquel pulls herself up, bloodied, and starts making her way in the direction of the shuttle. Firing as best she can towards the guards

* Tabetha rises and fires shots into the guards.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle fires wildly into the guards. They panic, running and flailing

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pushes her enemy robot into the shots of the gun
<Tabetha> * Peter pulls himself up, aiming at Teer.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel fires for Teer, trying to get him away from Cole
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks to jump up and wrap his arms around the man, his face black and oozey.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns, dropping the gun and he makes a mad dash for Lemon and Cole
<Chad`Winters> NRP: X
<Xanatos> 6* Kane slips to the side and moves for a roundabout way to get towards Lemon and X.
<Kit> <Key> Bad, bad, bad, bad! Divine retribution!

<Xanatos> 6* Cole tenses to electrocute him now, eyes red from anger.
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining two robots open ripples in front of Dias

<Chad`Winters> 6Dias twists to roll around one and then slide under another
<DeathStar> 6* Teer screams from the electricity, and his brains and bone matter hit COle in the face and eyes
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tackles another robot, and works to rip it's head off.
<Tabetha> Peter> "...Got the fucker."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks his head to the side, making a face, then drops him, slumping to the ground.
* Tabetha moves behind Dias' robot and fires at it's head.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane slides up to Lemon and X, shifting to check each of them quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rips the robot's head off, panting and falling to the floor; the remainnig one eyes Tabetha
<Kit> 6Key slumps down by John when she's assured the others have it under control.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon seems to have a device to keep her unconscious and trying to hack her; X seems to be drugged
* Tabetha eeps and starts to move, not liking close proximity.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts up onto his feet at the end of his slide and he shifts to stop by X and Lemon, looking at Kane. 1"A-Are t-they ok?
<DeathStar> 6* The robot ripples behind Tabetha, and holies her back
<Kit> <Key> Joooohn.
<DeathStar> 6* Dias would recognize X a bit as the Ultimate Weapon, his memories up to about a year or so ago
<Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to check and see if he can safely room the device.
<DeathStar> <John> Yes, Key?
<Ariel> 6* Raquel fires at the robot now that she has a clear shot
* Tabetha cries out as she gets hit, falling forward.
<DeathStar> 6* The robot jerks from the shot, stunned
<Xanatos> <Kane> I believe they will be fine in time.
<Kit> <Key> Kiss Key." 6She huffs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pauses as he stares at X. 1"I-I r-remember her."
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses, then jerks over despite the pain
* Tabetha rolls and dives, shooting at it's head.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel moves forward, stabbing the robot in the neck with her sword.
<Kit> 6Key leans down to him. Mercifully.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Oh? 6He asks, while trying to figure out the device.
<DeathStar> 6* John kisses her
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> K-Kinda. 6He frowns a bit as he peers at her
<Ariel> 6* Raquel then moves away from said robot before she gets blown up or shot.
<DeathStar> 6* The robot sparks, then explodes
<DeathStar> 6* It seems it's a simple device to turn off and remove.
* Tabetha tumbles away from the robot, groaning in pain.
<Kit> 6Key murmurs. 1"... Better."
<Xanatos> 6* Kane moves to remove it carefully, being cautious because it's Lemon.
<DeathStar> 6* John pauses, then gropes her wiht his good hadn
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I-I d-don't remember her h-having a b-bump l-like Chii tho.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Well. We have her back now. That is all that matters.
<Tabetha> * Peter puts away his sniper rifle, standing up and limping over to the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon opens her eyes. "..." 6* She's wearing her lingere still. "Hi, Chris."
<Kit> 6Key jerks, then slaps him.
<DeathStar> 6* John falls over
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl relaxes. "It's finally over."
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hello, love. 6He offers her a smile.
<Kit> <Key> O-Oops.

<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slowly creeps his head out of his room and peers down the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* The fox sits in the hallway, holding Dias' #1 issue of Silver X in it's mouth.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks eyeing the fox. He kneels down. 1"C-Can I p-please have that b-back?"
<DeathStar> 6* The fox eyes him, then paws in the direction of the mess hall, as if indicating a trade
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks then nods, moving off that way
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers into the messhall for Lemon or Key
<DeathStar> 6* The fox follows; Lemon casually is in the kitchen, not noticing the unguarded meat on the buffet. The fox yips excitedly
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shh's the fox and motions him to stay. He slowly starts to sneak towards the unguarded meat
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides upto the buffet area and grabs a plate then shifts over to the meat and begins grabbing meat with his hands
<DeathStar> 6* The fox watches; Lemon peers out. "Hi, Dias!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks, slowly lowering his hand. 1"D-Dias not h-here.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon blinks. "Oh, you're being a ninja." 6* She nods, then pretends not to see him as she goes back to work in the kitchen area, barely visible through the slot window
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias gives Momiji a thumbs up and he piles meat up on the plate. He starts sneaking back towards the entrance
<DeathStar> 6* The fox looks excited, setting the comic down to drool
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias quickly slides the comic out from under the drool and sets the plate down.
<DeathStar> 6* The fox eats it happily.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pats the fox then leans over giving it a hug
<DeathStar> 6* The fox licks his face in return
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias smiles and he stands up moving back into the messhall up to the the kitchen slot. 1"Hi Lemon!"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Hi, Dias! 6* She smiles back. "Did you like the new crayons?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods happily. 1"I-I f-finished my work.
* Tabetha steps into the mess hall, looking about.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> That's good!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> N-Now I c-can stare at the s-stars a-anytime I w-want.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> If you want to stare at the outside stars, I can speak with Mistress Cheryl and have someone join you
* Tabetha blinks a little, she looks crestfallen at Dias' words and turns away.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> R-Really? I-I'd hate t-to b-be any t-trouble.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Of course not. Just let me know who you'd like to join you, I'll speak with her ,and we can arrange the sensors to watch over you both in the back yard.
* Tabetha looks back and moves a bit closer, remaining quiet.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I-I'm not p-picky. I-I'd l-like it if Cheryl j-joined me but T-Tabetha would be c-cool t-too.
* Tabetha seems to smile a little at that.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Mistress Cheryl's OCD has been acting up lately, but I could join you if you wanted.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns at the OCD part. 1"T-That's m-my fault i-isn't it?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Of course not. It runs in her family. Since her healing is weaker, it isn't combating the OCD as well as it used to
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias relaxes a bit. 1"Y-You should a-ask her still. M-Maybe we all c-can look u-up at the s-tars.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I'll ask her. 6* She pats DIas' head.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias beams. 1"T-Thank you. I-I'd like it if she and you and Tabetha and Cole and Key and John and Raquel and Chii all did it.
* Tabetha smiles a bit, then hugs Dias from behind. She looks at Lemon. "Did you umm... get my message from earlier, Ms. Lemon?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks at someone suddenly hugging him from nehind.

<Chad`Winters> 6Dias relaxes a bit at Tabetha as he appears behind him. Then blushes and squirms out of the hug.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at the two
* Tabetha lets him go when he squirms, she smiles.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias quickly looks down, hiding his face. 1"L-Lemon want to j-join us?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes. Your items are there. 6* She points at a paper bag
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers, not sure if the yes was for him or not
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon now looks ta Dias. "Join you where?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Outside?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods.
* Tabetha slinks around and grabs the bag.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Sure. I'll see if I can arrange a group thing. 6* She smiles.
<DeathStar> 6* OUtside, the fox plops over, belly extended. It tries to move, but it drags
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> T-That'd m-make me h-happy.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Oh, I made some pie. Would you two like some?
<Tabetha> "Okay!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Y-Yeah. I'd l-like that.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves over to cut slices into a strawberry pie with whipcream as the top layer, and puts them on two plates.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias begins to eat it quickly
* Tabetha eats at a slower pace, savoring it. "...I like this flavor of red."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> It's strawberry.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> They can be used for many things. Strawberry with wine is especially nice for---6* She pauses, catching herself
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Itsmhf goomf. 6He gives her a thumbs up
<Tabetha> "Good for what?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I-I shouldn't say.
* Tabetha tilts her head. "Ohhh... I have to go look it up on the holonet right?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I-- 6* She hangs her head
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares with a confused look
<DeathStar> <Lemon> D-Do you two want more?
* Tabetha blinks and looks confused too. "D-Did I upset you?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Of course not!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> W-What's win?
<Tabetha> "I-I'll have another piece, and okay."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Wine is a type of alcohol. I can only drink it in small portions, though
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> O-Oh. 6He tries to remember what that is
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Alcohol, um, makes you feel funny in the head. It's what Mistress Cheryl drinks all the time
* Tabetha considers. "Can I have some alchohol?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Um, I don't know if you're old enough
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs the side of his head, trying to remember if he drank Cheryls or if she gave him some
<Tabetha> "H-How old do you have to be?"
<DeathStar> 6* We flashback to retarded Dias rambling at Cheryl, so she shoves some rocket fuel in his mouth to knock him out
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Um, 18 if you're in the military
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I-I think Cheryl l-let m-me have s-some
<Tabetha> "I-I'm not a year old yet. Is it from my creation date or my body's age appearance?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I think age appearance, since Mistress Cheryl is only 17
<Tabetha> "Oh good! I have been informed that I appear to be in my mid to late twenties. Is this appropriate? If I am to be a strong Dragoon like the general, it may be wise to emulate her."
<DeathStar> <LEmon> Um, I don't think emulating her drinking is a good idea
<Tabetha> "Why is that?" *she tilts her head*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> C-Can I h-have some b-booze?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> All people have their character flaws, that make them more interesting. Drinking is Mistress Cheryl's!
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at Dias. "I should ask first. To make sure it won't interfere with your medical treatment."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> M-Medical t-treatment? 6He pauses to think then frowns. 1"I-I think C-Cad said I c-could't.
* Tabetha tilts her head. "What are my character flaws?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Oh. Well, I'll look into it and let you know
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at Tabetha. "Um...right now...I'd say it's your lack of knowledge, maybe."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Oh, and your fetish with being spanked.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> W-What's my f-flaws?
* Tabetha tilts her head thoughtfully.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Hm. Whenever you meet a wall you can't break right away, you spend a lot of time focused on it. 6* She notes. "Being too focused can be bad sometimes if you don't balance it out."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias scratches his head as he thinks deeply about it, trying to remember it all. 1"I-I do?
<Tabetha> "...Dias breaks walls?" *she looks around for damaged walls*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Figurative walls. Mr. John could explain more
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> M-Marcus s-said something a-about that t-to me once.
<Tabetha> "I shall ask Mr. John about these walls."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Mr. John could probably tell you a lot more about such things
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I'm not good at breaking walls. I prefer hugging and cooking
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> A-Am I g-good at it?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> You are.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias beams
<Tabetha> "I can shoot walls down... would that work?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Um, ask Mr. John
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias begins to peer at the walls now
<Tabetha> "Okay." *she says meekly*
<DeathStar> 6* The walls are afraid
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Oh, what would you two like on the buffet tonight?
<Tabetha> "More pie!"
<DeathStar> <LEmon> Um, okay. But you need a meal, too
<Tabetha> "Oh... ummm... bird... chicken! Yes, chicken." *she nods*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> F-Food?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Chicken! Okay! I have a lot of chicken recipes.
<Tabetha> "I don't know any... surprise me with something tastey?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> C-can I have ice c-cream for s-supper?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> You have to eat something solid before ice cream. Like chicken
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> B-But I w-want ice c-cream
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon crosses her arms, giving him a look
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stubbornly gives her a look back
<DeathStar> <Lemon> If you dn't eat properly, I won't give you any more desserts for a month
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks then hangs his head
* Tabetha looks between them.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon leans forward. "You will eat the fried chicken I make you tonight." 6* She moves off, with finality to her tone. She can even manage to sound like Cheryl when she wants
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods glumly. 1"O-Ok."
* Tabetha blinks and hugs Dias.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks, blushing. He quickly looks down to hide his face
* Tabetha blinks a bit. "Are you okay Dias?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Y-Yes.
* Tabetha smiles warmly. "Good."
<DeathStar> 6* The fox drags by the two, trying to look pathetic enough to get carried to Raquel's room
* Tabetha picks up Momiji.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias relaxes a bit
* Tabetha smiles. "Let's take Momiji to Raquel's room, then I can show you your suprise."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> O-Ok
* Tabetha giggles and carries the overstuffed fox to Raquel's room.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias follows
* Tabetha deposits the fox in Raquel's room. "Nap well, little Momiji."
<DeathStar> 6* It gets into it's sand box.
* Tabetha pats it's head and then takes the bag towards Dias' room.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias follows, looking at he bag curiously
* Tabetha looks to Dias to open up, being polite.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias opens the room
* Tabetha steps inside, looking around, clutching the bag to her.
<Chad`Winters> 6The ceilings been crudely drawn to be like the stars with crayons
* Tabetha tilts her head. "Well... I got you something for the star problem..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> S-Star problem?
<Tabetha> * Tabetha pulls out a large, plastic star, a glow in the dark one.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares at the plastic star
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "Th-There should be enough for the whole ceiling... when you turn out the lights they glow."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> O-Oh. C-Cool!
* Tabetha smiles softly, setting down the bag. "Want me to help put them up?" She sounds hopeful.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Y-Yeah!
* Tabetha takes out a special adhesive for them and puts it on the back of the star, she hops on Dias' bed, reaches up, and puts one on the ceiling.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias starts hanging them up.
* Tabetha starts arranging them in patterns. Like constellations, but none recognizable.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias does infact make one shaped like a penis.
* Tabetha flops onto Dias' bed when she's finished, looking up at the plastic stars.
* Xan|Gone is now known as Xanatos
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias plops down on the floor and peers up. 1"It l-looks pretty."
* Tabetha reaches over and turns out the light.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers at it, a mixed look on his face now
* Tabetha looks up at the lightly glowing stars. "How's it look now...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I-It's d-different
<Tabetha> "It is because it's glowing." *she slips down to sit next to him, to get the same view*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Y-Yeah.
<Tabetha> "Do you like it?" *she leans closer*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I-It's....different
* Tabetha blinks a bit. "Ah..."
<Tabetha> "Should I turn on the light...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Y-Yeah.
* Tabetha turns it back on, she looks away.
<Tabetha> "We can take them down... if you'd like."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> N-No, i-it's fine
<Tabetha> "Okay." *she cheers*
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I-I thin I'm g-going to l-lay down.
* Tabetha looks curious. "To look at the stars?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Y-Yeah
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> A-And s-sleep
<Tabetha> "Oh... should I go?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods shyly
* Tabetha smiles and hops back over, kissing his cheek. "Okay, see you later!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blushes
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> B-Bye
<Tabetha> "Bye..." *she bows gently and steps out of the room, wandering down the hall*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias waits a moment as he glances up. He hits the lights again then shifts towards the door . He slowly peers out to make sure Tabetha's gone and he quickly sneaks for the elevator
* Tabetha ducks into the gun range.
