Reality Strikers Session 21

Session Start: Wed Mar 05 10:55:11 2014
Session Ident: #RealityStrikersSession21
<Seraphna> Date: 10-608.9.4 / 10-605.2.17 / February 17th, 2241
<Seraphna> The Special Unit is at work and discussing some security measures they should be taking when the kids from various schools arrive for a field trip tour. Peter volunteers to take the kids around while Hale and Josephine bravely delve into the depths of the catacombs to check things out. While the two take some bright eyed rookies, clearly doomed and in red shirts, down
<Seraphna> with them, Peter starts the tour with the united school and several guest schools.
<Seraphna> As they tour, Taiga takes a look around the entry hallway and seems to get sick suddenly. She gets excused to the bathroom, then explains to Ouka and Morrigan who follow that this is the day she's seen coming for so long. Her major memory was being in a hallway with kids during an attack, lots of blood and she didn't know many of the students as they were in uniforms o
<Seraphna> f other schools. She makes her way back out and as the kids discuss the issue, they tip off James, who tips off Peter, just as down below, Josephine's team finds what seems to be a Weapon. The Weapon attacks, and an explosion goes off that rocks the base.
<Seraphna> The first thing the kids notice is the Catholic School Kids have run off somewhere, while others fall into a gaping hole in the floor. The teachers and the Zodiac team up to save the kids. As they catch kids and usher them to safety, the group is left with several problems, someone's down below and attacking, and the Arcana are loose in the base. Taiga knows the adults
<Seraphna> will be too busy with one threat to deal with the other, and only the Zodiac can turn this situation around.
<Seraphna> On Asteroid C, Warren meets with Blue and Red team in order to organize the rescue mission. With Gold Team gone for a full four days, it's come time to try and track them down. Warren explains the situation and his belief that if the others got into trouble--entirely likely--that they might have gone into another reality to get away from the Illium. As Cheryl's ship
<Seraphna> couldn't pass the Barrier, only the trinity realities were a possibility. However, their location would be in the unreachable Delta Quadrant of the Galaxy.
<Seraphna> Following an idea the Alternate Lisa has about the PAX2, a group volunteers to head to Oracle Planet and look into the remains of the ship. There they find the remains in Myria's lab area, and they're able to take the core parts to adapt to Airym's ship. Miyuki leads and takes James, Marshall, Cameron, Alt. Lisa, Curali, Airym, and Ash.
<Seraphna> Heading into space, they take the unstable Light Engine out into deep space, where they find Illium, lots and lots of Illium with super advanced ships that can teleport around and fire Hyperspace Cannons. Clearly outmatched, Curali flies the ship towards a nebula.
<Seraphna> Cheryl's team finishes patching up the ship enough to at least move around. They're trying to decide on a plan of what to do as people start recovering and getting up. As Wolf expects an alien junk world to save them, one actually does, a mechanical world with some actual environment and atmosphere. A very advanced Reploid appears on their viewscreen and tells them they've
<Seraphna> found Roboticon, the Reploid Homeworld.
<Seraphna> Back in Prime, Curali flies into the Nebula and then asks how dangerous a Light Jump would be inside it. Cameron says it's dangerous, so she makes the jump, Lisa using her shields to try and keep the ship in one piece. The explosion of the Nebula starts a brand new star in Delta Quadrant while taking out seven of the enemy ships and damaging another. The group crosses
<Seraphna> into Wind's reality and appear in space without Illiums, but a broken Light Engine. It's then that they also find Roboticon and are welcomed down to the surface to meet their friends.
<Seraphna> Here they meet X... another X, who seems completely unaware of the one the Hunters killed off 15 years prior. He invites XX on a walk while Roboticon fixes and enhances the group's ships and Reploids. In space above them, several Illium ships appear in the area looking for them, Roboticon chugging along innocently.
<Seraphna> On Wind's Earth, Wind cancels his appointments and leaves with Megumi and Death Star to the Prime reality to look for Miyuki, Wind sensing something coming and needing to train Miyu for the final fight and some Deus Ex Machina. They leave Seraphna to hold the fort.
<Seraphna> Back in Prime, Warren watches the situations unfolds and sends Darien to the PAX to begin to pull the strings of the trap which is undoubtably being laid there.

And Now...

<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-608.9.4 / 10-605.2.17 / February 17th, 2241
<DeathStar> Location: Classic, Roboticon (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* The group has been stationed here on the moving reploid for what seems to be a few hours, the reploids getting upgrades, while the ships get upgrades, landed on the planet's surface. The reploids so far have been rather pleasant, willing to show the group around their advanced civilization, based off the Earth of the 21st century that they left behind (cont)
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl right now is resting in a park, peering at the flying cars and large moving mech like machines carrying supplies and other things, while gazing at a pond, rubbing her forehead, waiting on news of the Interceptor's repair so it can hook up to the Avenger once the Avenger's Light Engines are finished.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gets her sabre replaced with something a little more flashy while there, turning it on and off and testing it's power source
<Nyaomi> <Akasha> I never took you for a fighter...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at Kasha. "It's been a long time since I've had to fight."
<Jackieness> <Airym> *is meanwhile focused on getting the Avenger ready for action again*
<Seraphna> * LIsa has asked to have her tactical suit repaired and possibly enhanced for her shields. While Cameron seems content to just look around.
<DeathStar> 6* Curali leans forward, then moves off to find X to ask them a question
<Nyaomi> 6Kasha leans in close to Katrina, peering into her eyes
<Chain> 6*Miyuki sits with Cheryl
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> How has the kids been?
<Chain> <Miyuki> they still seem shakey personally
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Kasha casually with her green eyes
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I imagine my classic counter part could take me down due to her younger age
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, peering out at Aurica near the pond, sticking close to Cheryl
<Chain> <Miyuki> but they are still kids, even if their bodies are growing
<Seraphna> * Wolf has walked around a bit, peering around, still acting a bit stranger than usual.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I hate that we got waylaid so long. I hope Taiga hasn't worried so much
<Nyaomi> 6Kasha kisses Katrina-- rather insistently
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks at that, putting a hand on Kasha's head, not pushing her away yet, not wanting to hurt Kasha, but it's clear in the bond she's devoted to Mem
<Nyaomi> 6Kasha stops after a moment-- as she breaks the kiss a glow dying down that seems to have moved from her to Katrina, and she looks away-- nothing sensual about it
<DeathStar> *Cheryl said the Taiga lines
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Kasha?
<Chain> <Miyuki> she's probably a lost little kit
<Seraphna> * Lisa has stuck nearby Erevis besides working to get her energy suit repaired.
<DeathStar> 6* The reploids moving all over Airym's ship finally finish their work
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to be studying the sky, dressed in new armor given to her; Ao standing close in her own reploid armor
<Chain> <Miyuki> like I said, as much as she tries to show she isnt a child, its times like this when she shows it
<Jackieness> <Airym> "All systems are reporting optimal. Your assistance is appreciated."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then we need to get back soon
<DeathStar> 6* X approaches
<Chain> 6*Miyuki nods
<DeathStar> <X> Would you all come to command?
<Chain> 6*Miyuki nods and rises
<Nyaomi> <Kasha> Yeah?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *raises a brow, as if to ask about the kiss, but turns to X*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Something's up. *She notes with her psionics*
<DeathStar> -Spinning Logo-
<Seraphna> * LIsa rises and moves with Erevis, Cameron closes his book and rises to follow, while Wolf makes her way over.
<DeathStar> Location: Prime, PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is in 1B, glancing at the Senate agendas for the next month and raises a brow at a few of them
<Seraphna> * Sammael is making a meal.
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth finishes kickboxing downstairs, about to head to school for the fateful day
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh is working in security, doing her usual.
<Chain> 6*Ama is dressed in her kimonos looking over the religious sector
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans forward, contacting Isis and Athena, then leans back
<Jackieness> <Yasha> *is in her residential zone, going through her own Senate-related paperwork*
<DeathStar> 6* Tossing the papers aside. She fingers the comm, about to contact Zephyr to see the babies but recalls they are up at C today with a meeting with Warren
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin seems to not be in session today, letting minor judges do his workload. As Isis and Athena arrive, Erevis motions at the Senate rulings
<Seraphna> * Sammael peers over, as she starts filling up some plates.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is likely nothing, but you two might know more than I. A few things - we seem to be handling a few issues a little strangling. We gained a lot of land when we took the Tsivrixsh Empire territory and the Senate has been having to rule on each planet on what to do with it, for putting our technology, taxes, and whatnot. Some planets near these areas.. 6* She brings up a map near the outer edges of the empire. "Are getting more of a push for our technology and less taxation, and more autonomy, and we seem to be getting more planets joining than ever before close to the EarthGov sector where they have their remaining religious planets."
<DeathStar> 6* She brings up planets on the other side of the galaxy, where planets like the Catholic planet, Buddah, etc. are at
<DeathStar> <Erevis> With EarthGov in the process of joining up, and those planets in the process of joining New EarthGov, there seems to be a feeling, or issues that we are "blocking them in"
<DeathStar> <Isis> I have gotten that recently, but the Senate says there are a lot of beings in that sector that have suddenly wanted to join and we cannot deny them due to a few religious zealots in an area that is rejecting EarthGov that is a member planet
<DeathStar> *planet systems
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "Isis, keep a handle and try to see what it will take to make the New EarthGov religious systems happy. Athena, keep your teams on the Senate. I will take to my sun, she has religious insight."
<Chain> 6*Ama nods
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises and the two girls move. Erevis moves, in her black suit she wears a lot when she is in empress mode toward Ama
<Chain> <Ama> I will help as best as I can
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So what DO you think?
<DeathStar> 6* These days, Leyaeh would find the PAX rather quiet and peacefulo
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth finishes dressing and drags Jem to the teleporters to head to class, them having a school field trip
<Chain> <Ama> this is a difficult thing to answer, we cannot ignore them because of something they truely believe in
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She moves to her office and brings up a map of the Alpha Galaxy, and the Suisen Empire, which includes EarthGov
<DeathStar> 6* The Red Sector, showing where New EarthGov will be at, a small quadrant of the old EarthGov, including a new planet like Earth, and a few colonies backing out, like the religious ones
<Nyaomi> <Jem> H-Hey...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We are boxing them in with these new memberships
<Nyaomi> <Jem> I was going to skip again..
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> No skipping, this is a time to hang out with me
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth says firmly, teleporting with her, holding her hand firmly
<Nyaomi> 6Jem blushes. 1"O-Okay.
<Seraphna> Sammael> "If they left to isolate themselves, why do they care about being isolated more?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *peers at Sam as she enters her office*
<Chain> <Ama> however, if they are all going to stay they cannot run from their obligations
<Chain> <Ama> its not fair if they dont pay taxes that are due
<Seraphna> * Sam sets down trays of food.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> From what I can tell, New EarthGov simply does not like the Suisen Empire being here
<Chain> 6*Ama nods
<DeathStar> 6* She points at the alien worlds joining them
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But we cannot deny those who want to join either
<Seraphna> Sam> That was their reason for leaving.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But how close is too close
<Chain> <Ama> when they start to orbit one another I would say
<Chain> <Ama> but truthfully...
<Chain> <Ama> that may be something that has to be taken case by case
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes, wondering why so manyh people hate them so much they split off from their own government to resist joining membership with the Suisen
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I believe we will have to be spending a lot of time pandering to New EarthGov as the Senate accepts memberships
<Chain> 6*Ama makes a slight face, more of worry
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I just hope the Senate does not become too big headed and accept so many that they become next door neighbors to New EarthGov to spite them. We have many on the Senate who do no like humans now
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have reliqunished a lot of decision making to the Suisen Empire's people
<DeathStar> *who do not
<Chain> <Ama> still, we must tread carefully
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I may need to make a trip to these planets later - and talk to Gordon Paladin and find out what would be a good solution to pacify them
<DeathStar> <Erevis> While not rejecting memberships. Also...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis squints her eyes. "WHY are we suddenly getting so many applications from here."
<DeathStar> 6* She runs her finger down the trail of planets
<Seraphna> Sammael> "Beuracracy can be useful here."
<Seraphna> * Sammael blinks and peers.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I need to have Athena's people learn about these planets.
<Chain> <Ama> it could be due to trade with others we have accepted
<Seraphna> Sammael> "It could be for many reasons. I believe Leyaeh would say a suspicious pattern is always suspicious."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis then brings up the other location on the other side
<Chain> 6*Ama nods
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Tell me my love, on the far side of the galaxy, does this area remind you of something going on for others?
<DeathStar> 6* She brings up an empty area where a few Tsivrixsh planets are nearby
<Chain> 6*Ama blinks and studies it
<Chain> <Ama> it is quite barren
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. There is nothing here - here.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis brings up notes from Cheryl's teams, shifting
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Where did the notes from your Miko go
<Chain> <Ama> they should have been with yours
<Chain> <Ama> little sense in keeping them seperate
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Recently, I noticed the Senate voted to be very leninant to the planets there - giving them more freedom, less taxes, and more technology
<DeathStar> <Erevis> While that may not be suspicious on it's own, other Tsivrixsh planets joining did not get that
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Due to the Senate's anger at the Tsivrixsh battles
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls it out and nods, holding it out to Ama
<Chain> 6*Ama takes it
<DeathStar> 6* The notes indicate in the Alt universe, that is the location of the Light Gate to the Delta Quadrant that the Illiums use to get in and out
<Chain> <Ama>...a light gate
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe we have one yet
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But this could be a prelude
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Or maybe to make us think there will be one
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis eyes the spot, squinting
<Chain> <Ama> well...with less taxes, theres more money to build one
<DeathStar> <Erevis> the history notes say it took them a year with their technology to build it - with ours they could build it faster
<Chain> <Ama> and with nothing in the way
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And with more automony and less taxes, like you say...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I just do not know why the Senate would pass this. We have to omany people we trust like Yasha on it
<Chain> 6*Ama's hair crackles a little at the ends but nods
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And tShretrav
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I'm sure they would vote yes simply because they wanted the Tsivrixsh to not be so hard pressed
<Chain> <Ama> they may not even know my love
<Chain> <Ama> or it may have been buried or classified as something else
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Correct. Lets say the Senators' aides and agents are up tosomething, giving them bills and ideas to vote on
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That means at some lower levels, we have Illiums pulling strings getting the Senators to jump their way
<Chain> <Ama> we need to flush them out
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The areas to look would be in the outer galaxies. Erusia and Tsivrixsh. One suffered a war, the other ....
<Seraphna> Sammael> "This is an unusual method to try and take us out... but we have literally faced every kind of possible attack before."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yasha will not like it
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But I have my reasons
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Empress, Leyaeh notices Darien Starr on the station, wandering about
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Facing us head on would be suicide now
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Politics is a smart way - I barely noticed this
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If I was al eader still, I would not have.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I spend every few days reading reports before I go to the club
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at a monitor of Darien
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Interesting
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Now I am convinced something IS up
<Seraphna> Sammael> "Our enemy is noted for being clever... it would seem Cheryl's people believe something may be up too."
<Chain> <Ama> shall we bring him in
<DeathStar> 6* Darien chews an apple, walking along
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Let's
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Classic, Roboticon
<DeathStar> 6* X has gathered the group there, minus those being upgraded, and Curali. Even Airym is present briefly
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl has her arms crossed, standing there, while Katrina looks around the high tech control room, and 4D space in front of them swirls a moment to reveal an Illium ship headed their way
<DeathStar> <X> Is this the enemy?
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Too good to be true that we could hide forever?
<Chain> <Miyuki> they probably waited to see if we'd come right back out
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Curious... they can cross on their own? Or do they have forces present here too?"
<Jackieness> <Airym> "It matches the profile of the Illium vessels we engaged previously."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do you have our ship's repaired? <X> The Light Engine you use is outdated tech and is giving us trouble, we need a few more mins, plus your upgrades are taking a bit longer
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Damn!
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina hisses
<Seraphna> Cameron> "How would you classify them compared to your tech?"
<DeathStar> <X> We won't know, but we aren't fighters, we are pacifists.
<DeathStar> <X> We can try to defend as long as it takes for you to esape
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Yes, the Light Engine was having difficulties integrating with Avenger's systems due to the difference in technology levels. I lack the time to build a modernized version."
<Seraphna> Cameron> "That's not going to stop them."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki makes a face, trying to thinl
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the ship begins to approach on the screens
<DeathStar> <X> *speaks to the command center* Planetary shields
<Seraphna> Cameron> "It appears we have been spotted."
<DeathStar> <X> Every reploid on the planet will defend you if necessary
<DeathStar> <X> We will not simply be killed, but we will not be aggressors either
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Tell that to THEM
<Seraphna> * Lisa grumbles. "They'll agress, I suggest you agress right back."
<DeathStar> 6* A hyperspace beam is seen hitting the planet, and the view ends. The planet shakes and Cheryl steps outside, peering up at a tiny beam far far up in the sky, pushing clouds back as it's stopped
<DeathStar> 6* The planet rubbles slightly as the shields stops it so far
<DeathStar> <X> We are speeding up upgrades as fast as we can. We suggest you head to your ships and wait the transfer of your friends
<Chain> <Miyuki> how long can that sheild last
<DeathStar> <X> At the rate of hyperspace attacks? 1 minute
<DeathStar> 6* More beam points appear as 3 more ships appear and join in the attack
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The sooner we can leave, the less risk to these people."
<Chain> <Miyuki> then do as X says
<Seraphna> Cameron> "It seems we will have to high tail it and hope they come after us."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki tries to focus her powers on the shields
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves for the Interceptor
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica carries Miyu
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I will now retrun to Avenger." *nd proceeds to do so*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina grabs her weapon and runs for the Interceptor, as Aurica runs for the Avenger
<Seraphna> * Cameron moves for the Avenger, while Lisa moves to follow Erevis.
<Chain> 6*Marshall hauls Koala and Kalon characters
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves with Ao for the Interceptor, climbing in
<DeathStar> 6* James and Teddy are still in upgrade chambers
<Seraphna> * Lisa joins them, Wolf climbing in as Cameron boards the Avenger.
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta hauls herself into the Interceptor. Curali isn't on the Avenger yet oddly
<DeathStar> 6* X appears on both sets of screens
<Seraphna> * Cameron frowns and taps his comm. "Curali? Where are you."
<DeathStar> <X> We are finishing the upgrades on your reploids, and other two subjects now
<DeathStar> <X> We are transporting them now
<Seraphna> Cameron> "...Two subjects?"
<DeathStar> 6* The shield in the sky shatters and beams hit the ground, carving into the planet and the air begins ot heat up, as buildings explode, reploid vaporize, debris flies up and the planet shakes
<DeathStar> <X> *Begins to cut out* The human James and the dragon
<Nyaomi> 6Akasha stays close to Katrina for some reason, trembling
<Seraphna> * Cameron holds on, getting the Avenger ready. Lisa and Wolf help with the Interceptor.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in the pilot seat on Interceptor, powering up and flies over to Avenger, landing on top and locking onto it
<Nyaomi> 6Mem is already on bored, playing patty cake with Baky
<Seraphna> Cameron> "She didn't bloody tell anyone... damnit. I'll have this warmed up for her."
<DeathStar> 6* She locks a tube between the ships
<Chain> 6*Miyuki takes her captain's chair
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We must leave. Our presence is causing harm."
<DeathStar> The shaking as flying crates with the other teammates fly their way and drop them off in the Avenger one by one. XX's crate opens and she comes online, then James', then Curali's. As Teddy's flies in, a building explodes and hits his crate and it smashes short of Avenger, smashing his upgrades
<DeathStar> 6* Reploids all take aim across the planet and fire thousands of blasts into the sky at the Illium ships, one of them being damaged enough that it comes crashing down into part of the planet, blowing up and taking out a chunk of an area
<Jackieness> <XX> *runs and hauls Teddy toward the ship with her upgtraded power!*
<Seraphna> * Cameron grunts and casts a spell, an Earth Hand raising and pushing him in.
<DeathStar> 6* Curali comes online and flexes her upgraded armor and core and heads to the pilot seat of the Avenger and takes it
<DeathStar> 6* The Light Engine begins to come online
<DeathStar> <Curali> Okay, I need to get us out of the atmopshere
<Seraphna> Cameron> "I'd say it's time to go." *he seals the hangar once they're all on*
<DeathStar> 6* Curali lifts off, but eyes the extra weight of the Interceptor
<Jackieness> <XX> *buckles Teddy in until the bear can come bakc online and then straps in herself*
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Cheryl's ship is attached."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina buckles in on the Interceptor and Cheryl does the same in her captain's chair in the Interceptor
<Seraphna> * Lisa and Wolf buckle in, Cameron makes his way back to sit and buckle in.
<DeathStar> 6* Curali flies upward as the other three ships keep firing at the planet, wrecking havoic. X appears on the screen, staticy image
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Directing power to drive systems."
<DeathStar> <X> We are giving you a flight plan. Fly through the core of the planet
<DeathStar> 6* Curali eyes it and makes a face
<Seraphna> * Cameron pulls out the big book of spells and starts adding blood.
<DeathStar> <Curali> Is he nuts?
<Chain> 6*Miyuki buckles in
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Follow his recommendation."
<Chain> <Miyuki> we dont have much choice
<Seraphna> Cameron> "I say trust him. I need a moment at any rate."
<DeathStar> 6* Curali turns upside down and flies back toward the planet
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh shit oh shit
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Mem
<Seraphna> * Cameron starts to chant, working on a spell for one of the enemy ships.
<DeathStar> 6* And closes her eyes
<Nyaomi> <Mem> Ch-Cher..!?
<DeathStar> 6* Curali flies through a hole and soon the sounds of blasts fade, though temp doesn't rise
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> They're doing that insane flying shit of going through the core
<Nyaomi> <Mem> Sounds fun
<Seraphna> * Cameron releases the spell just as they do, the focus on the location of one of the ships, a big blasting spell. "FUEGO!"
<DeathStar> 6* Curali eyes the inside being a giant metallic area, dodging metallic spikes and other substances as they fly further down, picking up speed from this
<Seraphna> * Cameron then slumps back from the effort that spell takes.
<DeathStar> 6* Curali reaches and begins to spool up the light engine, then eyes a problem
<DeathStar> <Curali> ... uh oh
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Wha...?"
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes the red lights flash on it
<DeathStar> <Curali> Too much weight
<DeathStar> <Curali> The light engines are too small to take the Interceptor
<Seraphna> * Cameron pulls himself up and grumbles, he starts tapping and trying to compensate. "We can't bloody leave them. Either we get them on here and abandon the ship or think of something else."
<DeathStar> 6* She keeps flying through the core, passing a metallic core that flings them faster, Curali focusing on dodging more and more metallic debris as they begin to go out the other side
<Nyaomi> <A.Kasha> ... This reminds me of Starfox
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Well, any ideas?!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> #$#$#$ you
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I recommend that we work to pull the Illium away form the reploid world while we formulate a solution."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina monitors things on the Interceptor
<Seraphna> Cameron> "...That's it. We use the Interceptor as a surprise." *he taps the comms* "We can't take both ships. I suggest we get everyone on the Avenger and use the Interceptor for a PAX2 manuver."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl on comm> You want to abandon one of the FEW reality piercing ships!?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I have another solution. Though it will require precision."
<Seraphna> Cameron> "It's that or leap out without you, or abandon both when they catch us."
<Chain> <Miyuki> what is it
<DeathStar> 6* Curali bursts out the other side of the planet and begins to fly away
<DeathStar> 6* Curali eyes the engines
<DeathStar> <Curali> We need to spool them off or use them
<Jackieness> <Airym> *uses one of the holo-displays* "By positioning the Interceptor immediately behind Avenger, it will be caught in our wake when we engage the Light Engine and pulled along."
<DeathStar> <Curali> It could be broken to pieces
<DeathStar> <Cheryl on comm> ... we'll take the chance
<Jackieness> <Airym> "However, when we drop back out, we will be separated by some distance as momentum carries us at different rates."
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Or ejected into a random reality."
<Nyaomi> <A.Kasha> Aren't you telekinetic, Katrina?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl on comm> Give us a moment
<DeathStar> 6 *Cheryl looks around her bridge
<DeathStar> Everyone down the tube to the Avenger
<Seraphna> * LIsa frowns, but puts on a brave face around Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis nods and moves to the connecting tube
<Seraphna> Wolf> "Are you planning to do that goddamned hero thing?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not really
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Someone will have to remain on Interceptor to pilot it."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Erevis was more telekenetic than me
<Chain> <Miyuki> I'd beat them if they did
<Nyaomi> <A.Kasha> Trust me. Try it.
<Seraphna> * Lisa follows Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina raises a brow and holds out hand
<Nyaomi> 6Kasha throws up a bell
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina tries to pull it toward her, lacking the internal energy to manifest the pull in her brain
<Nyaomi> <A.Kasha> Stop thinking you can't. Maybe you can't, normally.
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta and Ao move down to the Avenger
<Seraphna> * Wolf grumbles and starts heading for the tube, ushering anyone who doesn't move.
<Nyaomi> 6Kasha throws it up gain
<DeathStar> 6* Baky heads down, while Cheryl takes the pilot seat
<Jackieness> <XX> *helps to get Teddy situated in the Avenger*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6* Attempts to do so again, only able to tug it a little
<Chain> <Miyuki> Cheryl, if you do anything stupid you know I'll get you
<DeathStar> <Cheryl on comm> I'm not. But someone has to fly behind you guys so as captain I am.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl on comm> And if Curali is right about breaking, I won't lose a ton of people
<DeathStar> <Cheryl on comm> Third, I can survive space
<Seraphna> * Lisa secures herself with Ao and Erevis once on the Avenger, Cameron tapping keys.
<Nyaomi> <A.Kasha> You can do it." 6She grins, pocketing the bell and takes Katrina's hand.
<DeathStar> <Curali> We're at the limits on the light engine
<Nyaomi> <A.Kasha> Let's hold this thing together.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's a risk, and you have a baby to see
<Jackieness> <Airym> *loads her calculations into the nav system*
<Seraphna> * Wolf shoves anyone who hasn't gone down and then goes herself.
<Nyaomi> <A.Kasha> Which is why I don't plan on failing.
<Nyaomi> <A.Kasha> You have my foxbead, Katrina.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *Studies Kasha, then nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina buckles in on the Interceptor. Cheryl eyes the two, annoyed
<DeathStar> <Cheryl on comm> Disconnect the tube Wolf
<Seraphna> * Wolf sighs and does so.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flies behind the Avenger
<Nyaomi> 6A.Kasha ignores Cheryl, shifting into fox form to conserve energy
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets in as close as she can, touching their shields
<DeathStar> 6* Curali eyes the calculations and begins to spool it up when alarms go off and a blast strikes the Interceptor
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl makes a curse as the repaired shields blow out
<DeathStar> 6* Curali curses as the light engines take their time going up
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina grips her seat and peers at the weapon display
<Seraphna> * Lisa frowns and focuses, sending a shield up over the Interceptor, she holds out her hands and holds it.
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica turns and eyes two Illium ships speeding up
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Light Engine cycling up. This will require a re-design."
<DeathStar> <Curali> There!
<DeathStar> 6* Curali hits the button
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Looks like my spell got one."
<DeathStar> 6* The tunnel opens up and begins to draw the ships in, even as a hyperspace enters it and begins to destabilize it
<DeathStar> 6* They jump into the strange whiteish tunnel
<Jackieness> <Airym> "You will have to focus despite the distortion and keep us as stable as you can."
<DeathStar> 6 *Curali grips the controls as they begin to rock. Alarms go off and the Light Engine warns of destablization and random jump
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tries to keep up with the Avenger, not as good of a flyer
<DeathStar> 6* Curali turns them upside down
<DeathStar> <Curali> Okay, okay, this should work, random jump, ...
<DeathStar> 6* Things go white as they jump
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Shit... come on..." *he taps the controls, working to normalize things* Airym, do mechanical things.
<Nyaomi> 6Mem uses the protocol to connect to Cheryl, providing what she can of her own knowledge
<Chain> 6*Miyuki grips her seat, and clenches her eyes shut
<Jackieness> <Airym> *inputs corrective algorithms into the flight control systems*
<DeathStar> 6* They bust out and go spinning around and around toward a sun
<DeathStar> 6* Earth's sun
<Seraphna> Cameron> Alright... tell me we have controls.
<DeathStar> 6* Curali makes a face at not arriving at Asteroid C
<DeathStar> 6* Curali pulls the controls up
<Jackieness> <Airym> "You always had controls. You just ened to use them."
<Nyaomi> <Mem> Sol?!
<DeathStar> 6 *Curali turns and tries to escape the gravity
<Chain> <Miyuki> Ama!
<DeathStar> <Curali> Light Engines are burnt out and affecting the real engines
<DeathStar> <Curali> Disconnect and blow them out! OR we'll be sucked in
<DeathStar> 6* Curali eyes the Avenger being pulled in
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Initiating disconnection."
<DeathStar> 6* Curali watches the Light Engines being disconnected
<DeathStar> <Curali> Good, good, engines coming back
<DeathStar> 6* Curali powers them back slowly
<Seraphna> * Lia peers around for indications of the Interceptor.
<DeathStar> 6* No sign of it, outside pieces of ship
<DeathStar> 6 *Curali boosts away
* Aqua has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I already have the full technical data on the Light Engine core. I can easily construct i, assuming adequate resources."
* Aqua has joined #RealityStrikersSession21
<Seraphna> Lisa> "S-Scan for life signs outside!"
<Seraphna> Lisa> "The Interceptor is gone!"
<DeathStar> <Curali> That's not enough ship to be Interceptor, unless most of it was destroyed in the tunnel
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Yes, I anticipated that we would be separated."
<Seraphna> Lisa> "So where is it?"
<DeathStar> <Curali> Anywhere between here and Asteroid C
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Shall we try comming them?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica frowns in concern
<Jackieness> <Airym> "HAd it been destroyed in the tunnel, we would have been shredded by the debris as it likely would have overshot right through our position."
<Seraphna> Cameron> "So comforting."
<DeathStar> <Curali> Though if we were going at the Sol's sun...that means they passed it too
<DeathStar> 6* Curali scans the sun, seeing if there's signs anything went through it
<DeathStar> <Curali> Nothing, at least as far as scans can tell
<Jackieness> <Airym> *starts performing calculations and displays a line* "This is the likely course. I am uncertain where they would have dropepd back into normal space along this line. It is a considerable distance."
<Seraphna> * Cameron sighs. "Well, we should probably look for them."
<DeathStar> 6* Curali eyes ships approaching from Earth Gov and spools up along the line and heads for Asteroid C
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Prime, PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits down, leaning back
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hello, Empress - Goddess.
<Seraphna> * Sammael sets down tea for him.
<Chain> <Ama> hello Darien
<DeathStar> <Darien> What can I do for you two?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mostly, we are wondering what crisis brings you here today?
<DeathStar> 6* She sips tea. Darien smiles a little
<DeathStar> <Darien> I cannot visit?
<Chain> <Ama> you can, but you have visited us more often when as they say the dominos were down
<DeathStar> <Darien> Fair enough.
<DeathStar> <Darien> The Reality Strikers have been getting reports around the galaxy have strange tidings and with Cheryl missing for days now
<DeathStar> <Darien> Warren felt something would be likely to happen here next. The PAX is too big not to get out of the way
<DeathStar> <Darien> After all, our enemy has already tried to wipe you off the board before
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis raises a brow. "The Illium has never touched us."
<DeathStar> <Darien> That is where you're wrong
<Seraphna> * Sammael tilts her head.
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien drinks his tea in one gulp
<DeathStar> <Darien> Warren has no proof but I back him up on this. You have been fighting the war with them longer than anyone. Miyuki won it, as did the kids
<DeathStar> <Darien> Temporarily
<DeathStar> <Darien> The red haired progenitor must die, all the attempts to take you out, all the sabotage, the Others, the Tsivrixsh civil war.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans back
<Chain> 6*Ama stands by Erevis
<DeathStar> <Darien> Warren and I have been researching it in the background for a while now and we think the Illiums masterminded the Other situation. Miyuki threw it for a loop when she accepted Nanashi
<Seraphna> Sammael> "Why would they take such elaborate and long term steps?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> We just haven't figured out why your PAX is at the center of it. The PAX means something to them; after the Others they moved onto other things in other realities and left you alone. Your empire is weakened, EarthGov is.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Giving them time to do other things. I'm just here to make sure they don't do anything. But after Cheryl's stunt before she gave up her powers, they'll come back and resume here. They can not if they are going to make another ush
<Seraphna> Sammael> "Well... they did take a PAX already did they not..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> OR destroyed it
<DeathStar> <Darien> No one knows what happened to it. Maybe if Cheryl comes back alive, we'll find out
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis processes that, considering what she and Ama talked about
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Ama to see if they should bring it up
<Seraphna> Sammael> "True. It seemed quite a roundabout means to destroy it however. Marrying into the family and all."
<Chain> 6*Ama nods
<Seraphna> Sammael> "Though they seem to like to attempt new means of strategem with each move."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis begins to talk to Darien about what her and Ama and Sammael discussed. Darien listens, tapping his fingers thoughtfullyh
<Nyaomi> 6Eluere meanwhile walks around the courtyards in an alternate outfit with her hair up in conch-shell like buns, pouting. 1"Where'd daddy go..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Two seemingly unrelated things tied by the Senate.
<DeathStar> <Darien> IF you think about it, and I'm not saying this is the case, the religious angle might be a plot - and it fits their M.O.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How so?
<Seraphna> Sammael> "The future of the Others was to set themselves up as Gods, and the failed future they arrived announcing themselves as such and demanded supplication."
<DeathStar> <Darien> The Others played God to a degree, with Gartareh. Especially in that alternate future timeline. Then you have yourself, a self proclaimed goddess, and Ama. They could make it a religious civil war.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And take your eyes off that Light Gate area
<Seraphna> Sammael> "They were then of course also behind that cult that wanted to socialize the universe, were they not?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> If you step in and override the Senate on letting member states from that area that is peeving off the New EarthGov people, then you have the Senate becoming unhappy and going after you
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks grim
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are a very dark, unhappy man, Darien Starr.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's why you never liked me when I ran our unit on Earth
<DeathStar> <Darien> Most likely, Sammy
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis stands up
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will take this into consideration
<Seraphna> Sammael> "Effective nonetheless... might we not also... consider using that exact area for something that would make stealth there hard?"
<DeathStar> 6* Ama would feel her miko return after being gone most of the day
<Chain> 6*Ama jerks a bit
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am thinking of not using that area at all but placing spies in the area. Let them do their plans.
<Chain> <Ama> Miyuki?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I want enough noose to hang them--
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to Ama
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Has she retrned?
<Seraphna> * Sammael blinks. "That is good news."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Miyuki is back? 6 *He stansd back up, eyeing his watch
<Chain> <Ama> yes, and she's a little too close to the sun
<DeathStar> <Darien> Let me get in touch with Warren, then.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We can patch into the ship
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flips out his comm and dials Mr. W
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Prime, Avenger
<DeathStar> 6* Curali is pulled out of hyperspace, by three things.
<DeathStar> 1) A comm call.
<DeathStar> 2) Nearing Asteroid C
<DeathStar> 3) A ship
<Seraphna> * Cameron eyes 1, expects 2, and gawks for 3, checking to see what it is.
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica opens scans, and pieces of the Interceptor are all over the place near the edge of the asteroid system C is in
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis and Ao stand there, peering out
<DeathStar> <Ao> I sense life that way. 6* She points at the Asteroid
<DeathStar> 6* Being C
<DeathStar> 6* The comm beeps again
<Seraphna> Cameron> "That's our base." *he answers the comm*
<DeathStar> 6* Curali follows the trail, scanning for more of the ship
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren appears
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Mister W."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Good, you're here. We had a mini explosion on our sensors, but did not send anything out due to revealing ourselves. Also---
<DeathStar> 6* Warren splits the screen, and breasts. Ama. Warren apparantly aiming it at her tits since who needs her face?
<DeathStar> <Warren> For Miyuki
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Hmmm."
<Seraphna> * Lisa blinks and moves over to sweep for life signs on a scan around the field. "Cheryl should be able to survive but the other two..."
<Chain> <Miyuki> Warren, Ama
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Were you able to detect anything related to the explosion? It was likely the Interceptor."
<Seraphna> * Alt Lisa, anyway
<DeathStar> 6* Curali flies up on the majority of the Interceptor, floating dead in space, a chunk of it gone - the engines
<DeathStar> <Aurica> oh thank goodness
<Seraphna> * Lisa scans over the wreckage.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *speaks from Ama's breasts* We are glad you are alright. Did you find Cheryl?
<Chain> <Miyuki> yes we did
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Pending."
<DeathStar> <Darien> *speaks from the other breast* Good job
<Chain> <Miyuki> however, during the jump we lost her
<DeathStar> <Darien> *from right tit* Retracted
<DeathStar> 6* In the wreckage three life signs are found on the bridge, doing repair work
<DeathStar> 6* Baky hides in the corner
<DeathStar> 6* Peering as people do work
<DeathStar> <Curali> Grabbing the Interceptor in a tractor beam
<DeathStar> 6* Curali snags it and begins to pull it toward the base
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Seems they're alive."
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> Location: Alt, Oracle Planet (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* After rescuing Cheryl and Katrina/Kasha, the group moves to Oracle Planet to drop off Ao and Erevis, as well as send in Zephyr and Megumi to meet with Kasha. Cheryl heads down to Earth during this, saying she'll debrief later, letting Erevis and Ao handle any debriefing there may be, and the Interceptor currently is being repaired by C. Katrina and others (cont)
<DeathStar> 6* As everyone arrives on the planet, A. Erevis walks along in her reploid armor she was given, taking it off and peers around hopefully for her Ama, the C. Erevis eyeing her with a frown and stepping into the forest to watch jealously. Ao stands off to one side, arms crossed, head down, and A. Aya walks to her to get a debriefing for Cheryl
<Seraphna> *Eclaire hides in the woods with her.
<Seraphna> * LIsa sticks with her Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* A. Erevis peers for her wife and kids
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr carries the two babies, Hope and Kiseki, approaching A. Kasha
<Nyaomi> <A.Kasha> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Motioning Megumi to follow her. She stops in front of Kasha, and smiles, handing her Kiseki
<Chain> 6*something peers at A.Erevis
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Isn't she beautiful?
<DeathStar> 6* A. Erevis glances down
<Chain> 6*A.Athena peers up
<Nyaomi> 6A.Kasha looks down at her, her eyes starting to well up again
<DeathStar> 6* A. Isis hides behind Athena
<Chain> <A.Athena> momma?
<DeathStar> 6*Zephyr hugs KAsha
<DeathStar> 6* A. Erevis falls to her knees, all the hardness fading from her face
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Little Athena? Isis?
<Seraphna> * Lisa smiles.
<Chain> 6*Athena beams and runs to her
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hugs her tightly. Isis timidly steps up and is swept into the hug too
<Nyaomi> <A.Kasha> Kiseki... was it..
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes.
<Chain> 6*Athena cries and hugs onto her tight, while Kiseki yawns her ears twitching
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hoilds Kasha
<Nyaomi> <A.Kasha> What did you mean... come home?
<Seraphna> * Lisa then walks over to Ao and looks her over.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Kasha, I want you to live with me and Megumi. You're family. I may not have all the memories my other half did, but I have 10 years of them. Don't be alone. Raise Hope Zoe and Kiseki with me and Megumi in our house
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes her hand
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You are not alone in this world
<DeathStar> 6* She gives one of her smiles
<DeathStar> 6* Ao talks in a montoned voice to Aya about the Illium
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lifts Athena and Isis up
<DeathStar> <ERevis> My babies
<Chain> 6*A.Ama looks over and holds her hands over her mouth seeing Erevis
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You're so big
<Chain> <Athena> course we are
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rubs her face against them
<DeathStar> <Isis> I eat greens
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis laughs shortly, then makes a face, not used to the sound
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you?
<Chain> <Athena> look, theres momma right there
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down on a short stone wall, sitting them on either side, then peers up at Ama slowly
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... my sun...
<Chain> 6*pointing to A.Ama who moves to her as quickly as one can in a kimono, which isnt much, before she tears it to run faster and hold her tight
<DeathStar> 6* C. Erevis sniffs and moves to build a temple in the forest and be awesome
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis psionically pulls her in and hugs her, kissing her face several times before her lips. "The thought of you got me through thesel ast five years. I knew I would see you again."
<DeathStar> 6* Isis claps
<DeathStar> 6* Somewhere, Myria's lab goes boom and a smoke cloud like a heart rises
<DeathStar> (*Then a plague escapes it*
<Chain> <Ama> just dont go away when I close my eyes, promise me
<Seraphna> * Eclaire goes to install herself as high priestess.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not plan to leave again
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis promises
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits Ama on her lap
<DeathStar> 6* Rosetta watches this all, leaning on Cheryl and Dawn, the Alt ones
<Jackieness> <Myria> *puts on some sunglasses* "LOVE AND PEACE!"
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> Hard to believe we got this far
<Chain> 6*Ama hugs her tight, while Athena climbs off her lap and goes to grab C.erevis
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> Though some of what we saw over there disturbs me about the ftre
<DeathStar> 6* C. Erevis blinks at Athena
<Chain> <Athena> come on, your part of us too
<DeathStar> <C. Cheryl> What do you mean? <Rosetta> Some of the answers we got lead to more questions - about the future. 6* She glances at C. Sam
<DeathStar> <Rosetta> And those still MIA
<DeathStar> 6* C. Erevis tilts her head
<DeathStar> <C. Erevis> I-- am?
<Chain> <Athena> mmhmmm
<DeathStar> 6* C. Erevis sniffs haughtly. "I-I knew that. Come high priestess Eclaire"
<Chain> 6*Athena walks her over to her mothers
<DeathStar> 6* C. Erevis follows

<DeathStar> <10 year old Illium Ao Son> I want my mom back! I want her back back back! She will never, ever like theeem!
<DeathStar> 6* The human male stands there, listening blankly, then lights a cig, showing his face to be a scarred Darien Starr
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. Sure
<DeathStar> 6* Darien checks his sabre and gun.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I can do that.

<DeathStar> 6* John flips through a notebook, rubbing his arm, when he eyes information on an egyptian temple
<Seraphna> * Elayne peers over his shoulder curiously.
<DeathStar> <John> No way. Why would that be back in this reality. And how did it go unfound. 6* John eyes the temple he died in and was ressurected by Dias - and Dias' Motenk side was unleashed, and John began his journey into becoming one. His right arm flenches
