Session Ident: #RealityStrikersSession25
<Seraphna> 10-608.10.31 / 10-605.4.17 / April 17th, 2241 (Alt/Class)
<Seraphna> With Taiga being regrown in medical, the command tower in ruins, and the PAX and Iron Paw working slowly but surely on repairs, the collective teams take a little bit of time off for a Halloween Party. Dressed as various TV characters, the party gets underway when a ghostly rabbit shows up declaring the desire to destroy them all. In the happy tradition of never having a party
<Seraphna> without some sort of fight going on, the group takes down the bunny in the warm embrace of Ama's tits.
<Seraphna> 10-608.11.6 / 10-605.4.23 / April 23rd, 2241 (Alt/Class)
<Seraphna> With Earth's leadership and New-EarthGov's president Bob Milton in the same room, Milton agrees after reviewing the evidence to allow the Suisen Empire free range in searching out the Illium threats in their space, as long as they share telemetry data. After he leaves, the group agrees to ask Ire's Special Unit to make a run on the two planets with Light Engine quality
<Seraphna> construction going on. Wind leaves on his own abruptly, showing increasing signs of madness holding the power in himself. Warren orders that Tess and Angela organize the military unit to move in on Ashcroft and find out what they can.
<Seraphna> John and company load into a van and head for Ashcroft's manor. On the way Em drops in, literally, and joins them. They make their way into the mansion, forcing the butler aside and begin to search with Ashcroft not home. Their searching turns up a datachip, an accessway into the sewers, a heavily encrypted datapad, and an attic labratory with a dampening field. When the full
<Seraphna> group finds the last, they find a ton of Illium technology and a Black Hole Bomb about to go off. Beyond any of their skills to disarm, they have the PAX teleport it away, with three seconds to spare on the clock when they finally do. They arrest Brian Ashcroft as he comes in and hauls him off, Lorelei keeping what she found in the search to herself. They realize at the last
<Seraphna> moment the Butler was more heavily involved than they expected, however, he is already out of their reach, he pulls his mask to reveal himself as Slash.
<Seraphna> Ire gathers his people, joined by Marshall from Red Team and Zeraphna, who's ship is brought to the reality for the mission. The group gathers up and readies for a mission that most assuredly seems suicidal, launching out with PAX techology engines in order to go faster. Appearing in the system, they fly in low and find that the engine is being built around a city, the gate
<Seraphna> itself that huge, it turns out not to be a gate, but a massive output device, a weapon that can fire a massive beam and with the gate technology, can fire it anywhere. Knowing they have little choice, especially when they are jammed, they land and disembark to fight their way down to a core.
<Seraphna> As Cuddles discusses methods on how to get more Illium data out of Tsunedere with Erevis and Ama. She can extract possible Genome Memories out of Tsunedere, but getting to them could kill her. Erevis has to choose whether to allow her to push it or use one of the other Illium that have been taken. Yasha meanwhile is tracking down the credits and finds that they came from her
<Seraphna> own bank acount, one accessible by only her and her adopted daughter. At this time, both the Alt Sammael on Earth and Prime Sammael on the PAX recieve a coded message. Answering it, Alt. Darien contacts Sammael and tells her he has the Classic Erevis captive and will kill her unless she, and by that he means both of them, head out in shuttles and await coordinates to head to,
<Seraphna> trackers off, and no assistance allowed. Alt. Sammael heads out, determined to try and get her husband back.
<Seraphna> Meanwhile the Prime Sammael informs Jennifer and Athena of what she's doing but also that they can't follow her, she disables her beacon and flies out, saying she'll send up a bond flare if anything happens. Ama and Erevis resolve to have Miyu talk to Tsunedere. Erevis also decides to check the other Senator's accounts to find if they too have been hacked to have their funds
<Seraphna> spent on things they wouldn't have suspected. Sammael takes off and Athena hisses, unable to follow Sam's transponder.
<Seraphna> Arriving near the core area, Ire's team comes under fire from Illium troops. Uplink gets them through the security door but his head is blown open by enemy fire. The team slips through and loses Ty to laser traps as he tries to rush ahead. Navigating this, they come out to the core and before they can plan on anything, Null leaps to the barrier and starts draining it. The
<Seraphna> group manages to refocus Null on making a field with that energy to allow them to teleport out before the core blows. To give them the time they need, Ire, Marshall and Atayna rush out to battle, the former two getting ripped into chunks as they face down Illium. Ash teleports them out at the last moment and Anyata finds her recall ability with Atayna is jammed, Atayna lost
<Seraphna> to them as well.
<Seraphna> They reappear on the ship, and Zera races to try and keep away from Illium ships closing in on them. Wind appears in the system but doesn't help immediately, Warren has to yell through the comms at him to start acting before Wind moves in. Unfocused, he begins purging Illium instead of aiding Zeraphna's ship, allowing it to take a hit in the rear. This causes Zera's seat to
<Seraphna> come free and she goes flying into the console, taking a shock. Finally, Wind teleports them back to his Earth.
<Seraphna> In John's base, they look over the evidence, a mile high, against Ashcroft, especially evidence of him torturing Vanessa. John authorizes any means necessary to get information out of him. On the PAX, Tsunedere agrees to the proceedure with Miyuki. At the same time, the news reports that systems wide, planets are beginning to lose their PAX technology, a second PAX beaming
<Seraphna> around and disabling their technology, the Empire is falling into chaos and rioting. The question falls, is this the end of the Suisen Empire?

And Now...

<DeathStar> 10-608.11.9 / 10-605.4.26 / April 26th, 2241 (Alt/Class)
<DeathStar> Location: PAX (intro to follow)
* Aqua has joined #RealityStrikersSession25
<DeathStar> 6* The Suisen Empire has continued to be hit by the other PAX as it comes in and out of hyperspace, disabling Progenitor tech, forcing most of the Suisen Fleet under Athena to be dispatched to go in and try to install a new core infostructure to keep the Empire from tearing itself apart. With the help of those who can teleport without teleporters, the core group has been doing band-aids on the core problem of the last push of the Illium attack; also during this John's group has been trying to figure out the encyrption on the datapad and information they found, while Cuddles has gathered the best healers, minus Ethan, to finally go into Tsunedere's head.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, hand under her chin as Tsunedere is on a table. Tamara stands to one side as Cuddles is wearing garbs, along with Enue, having Jennifer there via hologram, Caduceus, Vodka, and Megumi.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer watches them all, considering making a joke about holograms and doctors. She peers over Tsunedere quietly, hoping for the best.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Alright, we are going to prepare to access the hidden genomes and memory cells in this one's memory and see if we can unlock and download it. We will be going in turns. Jennifer, you will be controlling the robotic hands that CHIP has given you access to
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Megumi, your manifestation will be used at the end along with Caduceus to heal quickly after we crack her open genetically. Alright, lets begin
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis paces quietly, while at this time Leanne is finally reached by Yasha
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods and takes the controls from her end.
<DeathStar> 6* Cuddles and Vodka begin to work first, taking the first shift and cracking open Tsunedere's head, wiping blood and getting into her, using probes Airym made.
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "Leanne, certain matters have come to my attention regarding capital transfers using my clearances. Have you noticed anything unusual?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes ma'am
<DeathStar> <Leanne> No. Everything has been proper. *she names each of the transfers recently, most of them toward what appears to be projects to help restore the Tsivrixsh Empire from it's civil war, including joint Erusian-Tsivrixsh projects like Project Claw*
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "Project... Claw?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer's turn comes up; PREPARE YOURSELF JENNIFER.
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Right, Right, Left, Right, Up, Down, Up, Down, Right, Left, Up, Down, Right, Left.

<DeathStar> <Leanne> I am told it looks like a kitten's paw with a few tiny claws out.
<DeathStar> 6* She puts up the image, looking like something Ako or Iko might make
<Jackieness> <Yasha> *opens her mouth* "... ... ..." *closes her mouth* "...what?"
<DeathStar> <Leanne> I assumed it also had famfrits in it
<DeathStar> 6* Enue's turn comes up. Prepare yourself Enue
<DeathStar> 6* PREPARE

<DeathStar> 6* Alarms go off as Enue completely dices the brain area he's working on
<DeathStar> 6* Cuddles looks up and Vodka has to move from her spot and Caduceus uses his healing powers early to restore damage
<DeathStar> 6* Tamara during all this is taking the genetic genomes and turning it on and hooking up what they need to take recordings, except in the damaged area
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Everything alright there Enue?"
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus steps away and Cuddles nods
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> We got everything we could except the damaged area. Close her up. 6* She tells Caduceus and Megumi. PREPARE YOURSELF MEGUMI

<DeathStar> 6* Only Caduceus gets his part done up, Megumi's part leaking blood and bad things happen. With Caduceus already tapped out from his earlier heal, blood and matter ooze out on the floor. Caduceus and the rest move over and begin to use regular tools
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Alright, move it, stat.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Lets try not to leave her a partial vegetable
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "I am going to need to cross reference these with the PAX files. However, these two worlds... I did not authorize the transfers."
<DeathStar> Location: Earth (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* John's team meanwhile has been going over the files and having been working over Brian Ashcroft. He's gathered his team for the meeting. Lorelei is there, looking partially out of it still.
<DeathStar> 6* Em sits on a desk, musing, as John goes over the paperwork and information
<Seraphna> * Peter replaces his gloves with a pair of new ones, taking a seat. Tabetha rubs her head, looking a bit tired, having been going over the technology.
<Aqua> *Del yawns, reading a file
<DeathStar> <John> Okay, from what we were able to drag out of the man, Brian Ashcroft was approached several years ago to be a front man for a group claiming to be part of a project called the Illium Project.
<DeathStar> <John> Saying they needed land and buildings to run their experiments in making girls powerful, the Arcana, and then later in bringing back the weapons, in testing ressurecting technology that wasn't cloning.
<Seraphna> Peter> "So who knows what else they brought back from the past."
<DeathStar> <John> We have enough to bring him on up on charges for working with the enemy, since the Illium have been known to be our enemy for a while, and the attacks by the Weapons, as well as forcing his daughter to take the arcana tarot card
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes Peter oddly
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "And torture. Oh the things I dragged out of his head after I gave him stuck him with that syringe."
<DeathStar> <John> Anyway, we know they have been operating through Ashcroft for years now in our city under our noses
<DeathStar> <John> This lends credence to the theory that they are the ones who might be being the Others and everything that has been going on the past 16 years.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Aye..."
<Aqua> *Del sighs and rubs his head
<DeathStar> <John> I think we can safely say the ressurecting technology, while a success, is still fairly new - the Weapons have been only harrassing us for a month or so
<DeathStar> <John> But we should get our scientists to study Virulent and Caesura, see if there are any adverse side effects.
<Seraphna> Peter> "I'd hazard to give it a bit more than the month or so, they needed time to train, get their plans straight, everything."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei ponders
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Maybe find if there's something about them we can use to track Slash."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Question is... why the targets they chose. The dragoons are obvious, but why target me?"
<DeathStar> <John> *shifts papers* Next is the information Gor got off the encyrpted datapad. It was information between Brian Ashcroft and his handler, Slash
<DeathStar> <John> Mostly, it shows land property they wanted in the future and deals they wanted him to make, and how they were going to help him become the next Cran. It also shows they have our entire network hacked, including the PAX.
<DeathStar> <John> It means they know everything we're doing at all times. *he tosses the datapad down*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "...We should figure out how to stop that."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Does it have enough details to close the security holes?"
<DeathStar> <John> No.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Back to paper and pen."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> One thing to note, it seems they had to dumb down some of their tech to interface with ours. The HoloNet being shut down might slow them down
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And disconnecting all terminals
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And going back to older systems, from Classic's time.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Move to a closed-circuit system."
<DeathStar> <John> Yes, their tech is more in line with PAX and Suisen Empire
<Seraphna> Peter> "If what they learned is right, it is the same tech."
<Seraphna> Peter> "Just... more advanced."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Should we speak to the people of Wind's reality and see about securing their tech?"
<Kit> <Mem> The next ... Cran..? egh...
<DeathStar> <John> *Rubs fingers together* Lets go over there for a visit. Stop by Interceptor and talk to Cheryl face to face on what we learned and move from there
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "He obviously never met the man."
<DeathStar> 6* Em spins her weapon
<Seraphna> Peter> "Should we consider you out of retirement, Mrs. Hale?"
<DeathStar> <Em> For now
<DeathStar> 6* John studies the I.L.L.I.U.M stuff as he looks at the Illium Project
<DeathStar> <John> If the Illium Empire stands for something, then what
<DeathStar> 6* He rises
<DeathStar> <John> Remember, no datapads or comms for now. We'll go over there face to face to talk
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Assuming they are a future version of the Suisen Empire... why go out of their way to destroy the modern Suisen Empire?"
<Seraphna> Peter> "At least they can't hack Dragoon bonds... I hope."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "I have my TP to fall back on. Just... only one person thinking at the time, please."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "I.L.L.I.U.M..."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown World, Near the Tsivrixsh Empire
<DeathStar> 6* Sam's shuttle is ordered to land
<Seraphna> * Sammael takes it in for a landing, or they both do, if it's for both Sams.
<DeathStar> 6* As the shuttle lands, they find it in a barren planet with little oxygen and stormy clouds. A single order comes over the staticy comm to get off and walk 1000 meters away north
<DeathStar> 6* This far away, the bond cannot reach which is no doubt the plan
<Seraphna> * Sammael, being a Dragoon, walks on, while Alt. Sammael puts on a breather and moves with her.
<DeathStar> 6* They find Alt Darien sitting there, not needing a breather it seems and C. Erevis beside him, tied up in an anti-energy field, looking out of breath
<DeathStar> 6* He taps his special gun on his knee, his sabre in his sheathe
<Seraphna> Sammael> "We have come... why the both of us? What do you want?"
<DeathStar> 6* Alt Darien aims his gun at Sammael. "You are going to deliver a message for me."
<Seraphna> Sammael> "And what is that message?"
<Seraphna> * Alt Sammael tenses a little with the gun aimed.
<DeathStar> <Alt. Darien> If my Ama wants her second Erevis back, *aiming it at Erevis* she's going to let you bring Ao to me. And I'll give her to you. You... *He aims at Alt Sammael* Are staying with us
<DeathStar> <C. Erevis> Forget me - kill him.
<Seraphna> * Sammael peers at him. "...You work for the son."
<DeathStar> 6* Alt Darien tisks. "You know what will happen."
<DeathStar> <A. Darien> *he rests his gun on his knee* Yes. Now, are we going to waste time playing twenty questions. You haveo nly a few days to get here and back, and this planet is far away
<Seraphna> * Alt Sammael frowns too, she looks at Sammael and they nod to each other.
<Seraphna> Sammel> "Very well. We will play this game." <Alt Sammael> "...Okay."
<DeathStar> 6* C. ERevis growls
<DeathStar> <C. Erevis> I will rip your head off, human. *She tells Darien. Darien glances at her out of the corner of his eye, then back at his Sammael*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Then get going. Time's ticking. *He points at the click at the right hand corner*
<Seraphna> * Sammael peers at C. Erevis. "Eclaire worries for your safety. Please remain calm."
<DeathStar> *clock
<Seraphna> * Sammael turns and begins to head back, Alt. Sammael staying.
<DeathStar> 6* C. Erevis pants, out of breath from her outrage
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns to Sammael, his eyes softening just a bit. He waves his gun to a rock
<DeathStar> <Darien> Lets talk, Sammy.
<Seraphna> * Sammy moves over to sit, looking at him.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Interceptor
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl and Warren flick through the various screens on the ship, eyeing the chaos around the galaxy. Aurica stands behind her mother, frowning a little as it shows the Suisen Empire falling apart. Cheryl crosses her arms, shaking her head
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> These beings know and have too much. Knowing about Centerpoint, doing everything they can to get at it, ... *John walks in* <John> Working on ressurecting tech now
<DeathStar> <John> It seems they only thing they haven't cracked is your tech because of the reality tarot cards
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Cheryl, then back at the screens.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So you're saying my ships and the data aboard are the only things they aren't accessing? *John tells her what they learned as Lorelei and the others step in*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "It's possible they do not have access to the technology of Wind's time... it is too primitive."
<DeathStar> <John> So there you go - they have the Holonet* <Cheryl> We're hooked up to the Holonet, too, but we have a firewall of reality powers protecting it, that I made when I had the powers. But the rest of the tech is normal tech
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tech from our time
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans her head back, peering at Miyuki, then at others
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So what is different here. Can it really be the reality powers are keeping them out of our computers?
<Seraphna> Angelos> "Well... shit. We could always switch to Morse Code and Smoke Signals."
<Seraphna> Angelos> "We have Airym... she's pretty unique."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki closes her eyes trying to think
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It osunds like these guys were in business before Airym, but yes, she was around pretty much from the start.
<Kit> 6Eluere steps up behind, then looks totally crushed.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But Eluere, Darien, Warren, and I designed these systems befrore she was fully online too
<DeathStar> 6 *Warren looks at Airym
<Seraphna> Angelos> "Maybe it's Eluere then?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rests in a chair, beside Curali
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I am not connected to any external system at present. Additionally, my personal technology has evolved 'organically.'"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pops a pain pill, then looks at Josephine
<DeathStar> <Warren> What did they say when they went after you?
<Seraphna> Peter> "They can interface with our tech and the PAX's because it's their tech, just outdated to them."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "The plague girl said something about the wones who are supposed to be dead."
<Seraphna> Angelos> "We did change the timeline somewhat. Didn't we? And the kids altered and event that was supposed to kill even more of us."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods slowly, then moves to a computer, accessing files.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *tilts her head* "It is possible that they are trying to make this timeline a match to their own."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Their method of killing you?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at Josephine
<DeathStar> <John> If I recall, they used Virulent to give her a nanonite virus, since a normal one can't kill her
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Virulent chose nanites as the means to infect her, they were very effective."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hisses suddenly
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Ah. Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods at Cheryl.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Nanite technology, microscopic machines that... err..." *she pauses realizing that wasn't the question*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns and walks back and forth, fingers presses against her finger
<DeathStar> *her forehead
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "And yeah, a nanovirus. My nanotech implants went berserk."
<DeathStar> <Warren> So you realize the implications of the method of death. Another target was X. *He eyes the file he has up*
<DeathStar> <Warren> John.
<DeathStar> <Warren> The Billys weren't targets in that they weren't targetted for death but powers stripped
<Seraphna> Angelos> "They tried to disable Cuddles and Vodka's abilities too."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why are they doing this
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits down
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica looks confused mostly
<DeathStar> <Darien> How about you two bring the rest of us up to speed
<Seraphna> Angelos> "When you're playing chess, the pawns mean more than most people consider, they can be everything. If you remove the pawns, victory for the other side is that much harder."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods and brings up a file of Josephine, looking a little different, dying from her nanonites going insane and haywire, killing her slowly, and leaving the team
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "The only other tiem my implants did that was when... yes, that."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki rubs Aurica's back
<DeathStar> <Warren> List of casualities: X. Delano. John. Em. All attacked.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Miyuki. Kasha. *he waves his hand*
<Seraphna> Angelos> "The attack on their house."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lemon
<DeathStar> 6* John crosses his arms and whistles
<Seraphna> Angelos> "They went right for Lemon, Jonas and I didn't even have a chance to getting to her in time."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So they are adjusting this timeline to match the other? If so they aren't trying that hard.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki blinks
<Chain> <Miyuki> and the kids
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> They've just been pecking at us
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And Let us beat the Others.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It almost seems like they're just punching us again and again until the bell rings, backing off, then punching us again and again
<Jackieness> <Airym> "That is assuming that the Others were their minions. As I recall, the Others blamed specific individuals for some event."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A true timeline return would be to take the time machine, go back and stop us from altering things
<Chain> <Miyuki> so pulling a Little Mack in PunchOut
<DeathStar> <Warren> That would make a timeline divergence.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Why? It sounds like they could crush us but they're giving us every chance to win."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "That is also assuming that the timeline they desire is the one where the Others won."
<DeathStar> <Warren> And with us having created one of our at that moment, who knows what would happen
<Jackieness> <Airym> "It is possible that the timeline deviated at another point before or since."
<Seraphna> Peter> "So they're just afraid to fuck things up for themselves even more?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay, lets assume they aren't the masters of the Others - the Others did say we made them
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Or were responsible for them.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But we didn't fall into whoever made the Darkness, because we accepted Nanashi
<Jackieness> <Airym> "the Others may have attempted to stop the Suisen Empire from becoming the Illium. We have too much conjecture."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But there is clearly something going on, they want some part of that other timeline or they wouldn't be trying to get us onto that line
<DeathStar> <Warren> I agree. If they wanted a true victory over us, there is things they could have done
<DeathStar> <Warren> Destroy Earth. Destroy PAX.
<DeathStar> <Warren> They have avoided that. And they have avoided slaughtering us wholesale when they could have. >John> Hello? Blackhole bomb?
<Seraphna> Peter> "And we can see for ourselves they take the PAX eventually... or rather, have it still."
<DeathStar> <Warren> That would have engulfed Earth slowly over hundreds of years, not destroyed it outright
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Maybe they knew we would disarm the black hole bomb."
<DeathStar> <Aurica> What if that was Alt PAX? <Warren> Maybe. We need to know. We need to find it. Now.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "That may also have been placed by an agent not completely under their control... we have evidence that they are not of a completely united mind."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "They had to brainwash their people, block memories, several of their people now work with us."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren thinks, then moves to go for the classic hallway to find Wind who has retreated since his mess up
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The most radical means to ruin the Illium's plans would be to radically alter a major element that their definition of reality depends on. An element that is too great for them to nudge back."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Cheryl. It's time for an offensive. Gather all the teams and allies we have left.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches him go
<Kit> <Chii> Offensive to what..
<DeathStar> <Darien> Good question. We have no leads.
<Seraphna> Peter> "What? Hold a black hole gun to our own heads and say, "Back off or we get it?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... I don't know. I just wonder what Warren plans to do
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Anyone else notice he seems rather... forward lately?"
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We could always evacuate and destroy PAX."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Forward?"
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Warren has been reserved and quiet, not taking command for a long time,working in the shadows. Now he's issuing a lot of orders, being the old commanding general."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Even with the limited traces I can still feel in me, I know things are not quite right. I can feel tringes of reality holes, plus a tear into a fourth timeline---most likely Tareh since we saw it briefly. That seal is vanishing, the seal on thier end
<DeathStar> 6* Benjamin chuckles
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Perhaps the situation has pushed him. Alternatively, it could be because he has been mating regularly with his partner, Arhn Arhnya."
<DeathStar> <Benjamin> Dad's pain pills get him fired up. Or Arhn
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl wraps her arms around Miyuki, turning her to face her
<Chain> 6*Miyuki looks up at Cheryl
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm going to gather all the Strikers on PAX where ISis is at again. If you feel up to coming, do so. It looks like we will be making our last push there, to find this other PAX, and our PAX might be the only thing that can do it
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Could they be desperate...?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But if you want to stay here, I understand
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica gathers supplies and slaves the Avenging Striker to go to PAX
<Chain> <Miyuki> No, I'll come
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *looks over at John*
<DeathStar> <John> Alright team, gather what guns and supplies we need and head up to PAX.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Yes, sir." *salutes*
<DeathStar> <John> And get what old supplies from Classic we need if we have to talk to other ships
<Seraphna> Peter> "If you're making any goodbyes to people before we go up, do it in person."
<Chain> <Miyuki> but I am getting too old for this 6*her tails sway
<Seraphna> Peter> "The less the enemy can listen to, the less they know."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I should be able to set up a communications grid based on Classic technology."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "I'm going to swing by my house to pick up some things..."
<Seraphna> * Lisa arrives from the safe houses with reports for things and moves over to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Chryl> *kisses her deeply*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Same here. Only Chii is a cradle robber
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds up Chii
<Kit> <Chii> We've been over this
<Kit> <Chii> I was younger than you!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmhm
<Seraphna> Lisa> "Got the logistics... umm, Cheryl, there's something about the Alt people."
<Kit> <Kasha> Oneesama. I'm coming.
<Seraphna> Lisa> "Their Sammael is AWOL. Her kid is currently being looked after by their Angela and Lemon but they don't know anything."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *heads out to start arrnaging equipment for the mission*
<Chain> <Miyuki> it shows, one tail Chiimamam
<Chain> mama^
<Chain> 6*Wiggling her nine
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *nods* Well, we'll bring the Alt people with us to the PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei tries to wiggle her nubs
<Kit> <Chii> Pff...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl picks Kasha up
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright, head to PAX
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 10-608.11.10 / 10-605.4.27 / April 27th, 2241 (Alt/Class)
<DeathStar> Location: PAX (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* All the Alters have been brought up and given upper level places, the Command Tower has been repaired due to quick work, 1B back online, though flickering of the houses occur now and again, and the bridge is being reset up. Tsunedere is resting, still in a semi-induced coma, and Taiga is at 11 years old, Cuddles' last chance to switch the knob to 11 and end the aging process. Warren and Wind so far have not returned, but Classic John and his group are around too, helping set up their equipment so Airym can hook up. Cuddles sets into the very large meeting room with every single hero there, not that you have to RP them all
<AquaKoala> *James yawns
<Chain> 6*Miyuki sits
<Seraphna> * Jonas on loan from Seraphna, helps a lot with the technology, being a gearhead like his mother.
<DeathStar> 6* Both Johns sit there, and all three Ayas are talking in the background, and the Katrinas are off to themselves, talking and comparing, and the Icehearts are comparing their Freyja and Chiis, even kidnapping Cheryl's Chii to do so
<AquaKoala> *Teddy lies on the floor
<AquaKoala> *Del sits with his boots up
<Seraphna> Peter> "Cheeky, I don't get a double."
<DeathStar> 6* Alt Ao and Ao stand off to one side and Erevis and Alt Erevis are near the front, leaning forward as Cuddles walks along. Cassandra lays by Teddy, bandaged up a bit. Zeraphna is there, patched up
<DeathStar> 6* Ako and Iko chase Alt Athena and Isis around
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I think I figured out a few things with the help of the others.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The communications are now running. I was able to optimize performance beyond the base spec by using Bot World data. I have also updated Interceptor and Striker with my tactical data from our previous engagement swith the Illium forces."
<Seraphna> * Alt Lisa sticks near Alt Erevis. Cameron is helping set things up with Angelos also helping.
<Chain> 6*A.Athena giggles while A.Ama stands, P.Ama gone to help
<DeathStar> 6* During her search, Yasha has found no sign of the Claw imprint on the offical channels, thogh it was registered 15 years ago as Ako and Iko's offical company name when they become famous - The Raging Claws
<DeathStar> 6* Though it was hidden in the primary files that no one could have access to but high ranking officals and Yasha since she asked
<Jackieness> <Yasha> *forwards this information to Erevis*
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Mmm. Two Johns."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> It seems low class Illiums and middle ranking soldiers have purposely had their memory genomes blocked
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> So that they cannot remember their pasts
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Frankly, the level of technology to do this is astounding
<DeathStar> 6* Cuddles sits in the center of them all, holding the information. Caduceus leans on his cane, bored. Warren and Wind walk in, Wind looking normal again while Warren seems to be walking stiffly
<DeathStar> 6* Wind takes a seat, leaning back
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> We have used our tech and managed to bring up the genome memories as best we can. For example, as many of you suspected, the Illium Empire stands for something. It was born out of the ashes of the Suisen Empire.
<Kit> 6Ceras cuddles Zera, a mechanical dragon watching her and narrowing eyes at Seraphna
<Seraphna> * Elayne peers over Warren and Wind and blinks a bit, she leans down to John. "I think Warren found who he could trust with the power."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans back, arms crossed. Death Star leans back on the wall
<DeathStar> <C. John> Hm? What? An addict?
<DeathStar> 6* Benjamin fiddles his with his pencil
<Seraphna> Elayne> "We all have flaws. Dunno."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *looks around, tapping a button so her Ama can listen in as well*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What do you mean born out of the ashes of the Suisen Empire?
<Seraphna> LEyaeh> "So we fell. Eventually at least?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cuddles looks at the information before her. "They are from our future, Tareh's future, about 3000 years. The Suisen Empire as we all know took a severe blow losing Earth and stuff during the Other attack."
<Seraphna> * Peter groans.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "A future that has been averted on our timeline."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> And then spending the next many years battling it. IT's new leader was Iko.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The question now is: why are they attacking other realities?"
<Seraphna> CL> "All hail Auntie Iko?"
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Known as the insane hunter cat, Iko having lost all her loved ones waged a war against the Others like an enraged beast.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Seeking to destroy them and get back what she lost.
<Seraphna> * Cl pouts and droops her ears.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Bloody fucking hell... Gartareh was away from Tareh during most of their little Angel War off fighting something."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> And from what the Tarehians told us, the Sol system was blocked off in that barrier by Nanashi--- Gartareh.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> *She looks at Airym* Here's where things get dicey, and I am not sure if the memories are accurate. Remember, this is a history lesson to Tsunedere's memory.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Please continue and I will attempt to process the data."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Iko extended her life as much as she could and expanded the Suisen Empire into a war Empire, and the worlds she took over, changed, became war machines, fighting the Others in space. And all the time they were looking to find a way back into Sol to get at Centerpoint
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> She didn't know the plan for the time machine would work or anything. Or maybe didn't care.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Or daughter, Lenneth, continued the war. And they began to experiment on using Others.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> And trying to make their own time machine
<Jackieness> <Airym> "They appear to have succeeded."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> They initially failed.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Please continue."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> But a tragedy happened. The experiments with the Others, trying to use them to get past Gartareh and through the Sol barrier, led to an incident where a massive explosion happened and the darkness and Others were sent back in time. They literally gave birth to their own Other creature, using Gartareh's cells taken from a battle they fought him in
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans back, musing. "They made him."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> And destroyed a lot of their fleet, forced to retreat.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Talk about living long enough to see yourself become the villain..."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Lenneth died in shame and so Love, who was still alive at the time using her own enhacements, took over. Despite being ancient, she began to use new weapons in the war.
<DeathStar> 6* Love stares at that.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> She is the way who gentically began to alter their people, since the interbreeding after so long began to mix all their genetics, and began to make it so progenitor bodies would not burn out.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> That was the beginning of the bodies we see today
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> They felt that progenitors could break the abrrier
<Jackieness> <Airym> "They require progenitor genetics. That is why bthey are here."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I think you are onto something, Airym
<Jackieness> <Airym> "They push at us to move the pieces into position."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Anyway, Love died shortly afterwards due to her age. Her daughter, Isis, named after her Aunt, took over. More of a pacifist like her namesake
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> She focused on the genetics and avoided battle, and tried to build up their fleets in defense. This is what stalled out their push. She also focused on trying to get into the other realities using devices like the Light Gate to see if their allies were alive
<Seraphna> CL> I gets nieces. *nods*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Again, there are more subtle means to achieve their goals. What changed?"
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> She was killed not too long by her own daughter, Uenana - who sent them back to war with the tech Isis the Second made. They used the Light Engines to explore the other realities and saw nothing of use
<Seraphna> * CL sniffles.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> By now, they had begun to drive Gartareh b ack, but realized they would never get into Sol System with the 13 gods in power.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> So their plan changed. If they could not get at the Centerpoint in our time period, to wipe out the gods, they would get at an earlier one
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> But no one knew how to access it but one person in history, you Cheryl. So they worked on their time machine and by the reign of Megumi, they began to experiment in going back in time, at the same time as the Tarehian crew
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Subtlely manipulating events - but of course Tsunedere never knew what. Whoever was sent back they wiped their memories. They set up allies in Alt to make it look like they were native there from another quadrant while they built up power and let us widdle down our power.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I.L.L.I.U.M.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The reality that Cheryl is from, however, had already diverted from their own timeline."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> After each ruler dies, their name is added.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> You're right, but in their timeline, it's already hell
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I think they're after our powers and plan to go back
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Or worse, plan to do something more radical
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> You have to remember, Iko is no longer the one in charge, who began it
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I would speculate thet they may attempt to use Centerpoint to merge all realities back into one."
<Seraphna> Alt. Lisa> "So... why did they need to kidnap our Erevis and Ao and use them as breeders?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> They did attempt to erase my reality
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would make a guess at attempting to make more pure progenitors. Only pure progenitors can use Centerpoint directly
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Without reality powers.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "The situation with Erevis and Ao may have been part of their earlier plan."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> There's only one thing I can determine at this point
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Some of their moves suggest that they may be targetting the reality powers themselves."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Please, continue."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> 1) They are trapped in our timeline because someone sealed them off from Tareh's future. They are going to want to break that barrier down.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> 2) They have a time machine and are likely going into our future as their base of operations because the future is the only place you can go without making a timeline divergence. But each time they muck around here, the chances for one to happen rises. And 3)...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Three, time line diveregences can make Centerpoint appear briefly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Due to a new reality forming
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Yes, that is logical, Erevis. They are creatign scenarios to alter the timeline intentionally."
<DeathStar> <John> No offense, but shutting down your EMpire
<DeathStar> <John> I'd say the chances of one happening is going to be any day now
<DeathStar> 6* John looks around
<Seraphna> Peter> "That would explain the purpose of their actions if it isn't a diversion."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei stands up
<Jackieness> <Airym> "However, there is one variable that may have some impact even if they reached Centerpoint. Centerpoint has no operating system currently. You cna start it, but not necessarily control it. This is due to an incident where I was on Centerpoint and accidently displaced the control systems."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I would like to state something
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks over, as does Alt Erevis
<Chain> 6*Miyuki and A.Ama look as well
<Jackieness> <Airym> *looks at Lorelei*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> All these problems are arising from the consequences of having the reality powers. Now, I know we cannot get rid of them right away after dealing with the Illiums in the future. Because Cuddles says they are in Tareh's future too, and the barrier seal between our realities is cracked, which means if it breaks, they might come again
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> But after we beat them here, and make sure Tareh's barrier is strengthened - however long that takes
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We need to find a way to destroy these powers for good. And Centerpoint if need be
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes a breath
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I concur. It might take time, but that thing has been nothing but danger. There has to be a way to keep the realities together without it
<Chain> 6*Miyuki nods
<Seraphna> Peter> "It's reality control right? COuldn't you... reality away the reality powers? Or would that make our heads implode?"
<Jackieness> <Airym> "It would help to know the full history of Centerpoint."
<DeathStar> <Wind> That might work, but I would hate to see what would happen to the person taht does it
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *looks at Airym* I will see what I can do to help you with that
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands up
<DeathStar> <Warren> Here is what we will do people.
<DeathStar> <Warren> The team that is going into the future to deal with the Illiums, gather on the PAX, because this the only place with a working time machine. Which means we need you Erevis to power it
<DeathStar> <Warren> So today, get the civilians off the ship and to Earth.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I am going to go out there and make a trap for the fake PAX - be it the future or Alt One - and lure it out for us to destroy before we go into the future
<DeathStar> <Warren> And hopefully get the year from it we need to go to
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What are you going to use as bait?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Centerpoint. <Cheryl> You'd need all of the reality powers to bring that out, Warren. <Warren> I have them all
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves to Benjamin, while Cheryl gapes in horror
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Called it."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Son, be strong and safe. *he takes his arms and hugs him
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Warren, you're human
<Jackieness> <Airym> "If possible, could you retrieve technical data from this alternate PAX? It would help in dealing with the Illium in their home time."
<DeathStar> 6* Benjamin pauses and hugs him back, noticing the sheen of sweat on Warren's forehead
<Seraphna> CL> "Grandpa...?"
<DeathStar> <Benjamin> I love you dad. <Warren> *nods and opens a gate into Centerpoint*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps through
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He's going to die.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks aghast.
<Chain> <Miyuki> then we shouldnt waste time...
<Seraphna> * CL blinks, "Whatcha mean die...?"
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I doubt he has informed Arhn Arhnya of this."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki moves to get things ready and arranged
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A human body cannot handle the full strength of that power. It'll burn him alive. It's why beings of power need it to shunt it
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He's like a burning furnance
<DeathStar> <Wind> He's showing no signs of going insane
<Seraphna> * Cl's ears droop, she starts to sniffle.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind stands up and looks around at everyone
<DeathStar> <Wind> Everyone who plans to go on this mission, remain on the PAX, other wise you should head to Earth with the civilians
<DeathStar> 6* Alt Katrina heads off with her wives, while Alt Erevis remains. Prime Sammael's shuttle returns in orbit
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Cheryl, are you going to order me back to Earth?"
<DeathStar> 6* Alt Ao is tinkering, planning to help, and C. John sets up to help. Zera moves to go back to Earth
<Seraphna> * Sammael tries comming in as she heads to the hangar.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No,you are needed here, hooked up to computers, Airym
<DeathStar> 6* Prime Ao flicks a switch, talkingn to Sammael
<Chain> 6*P.Miyuki is staying but getting the Di'haas, the gods and such off the PAX and to either her place or their earth homes
<Seraphna> Sammael> "I have a message from the alternate Darien Starr."
<DeathStar> 6* Isis moves over to Miyuki
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Then I shall remain and carry out my duties, despite CHIP's desire for a 'booty call'."
<DeathStar> <Isis> *puts an arm around her* I wioll be in engineering where I Can help
<DeathStar> 6* ISis kisses her deeply, and moves down
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I will put my port into your port if you want, lady
<DeathStar> <CHIP> We can AC/DC.
<Seraphna> Sammael> "I must bring him the alternate Ao... to exchange for Wind's Erevis. There is a limited time frame, and then she will die."
<DeathStar> 6* Alt Erevis jerks her head over to eye the monitor, as does Alt Ao.
<Seraphna> Sammael> "The other me is with him."
<DeathStar> 6* The Ayas, working together on the bridge, peer up
<Chain> 6*Miyuki pulls her back and kisses her deeply
<DeathStar> 6* Isis leans into the kiss
<Kit> 6Kasha waits for them to have their moment
<DeathStar> <Alt Erevis> We--- cannot give up my sister...!
<Chain> <Miyuki> you becareful ok? were gonna go home after all this to some really clingy kids
<Seraphna> Sammael> "It is of course... up to us what we will do. But he gave me three days."
<Kit> <Mem> ..." 6She peers at Katrina
<DeathStar> <Alt Ao> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at Mem
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Stay and fight, or go?>
<Kit> <Mem> I'm worried about you
<DeathStar> <Alt Ao> I will go, sister. We cannot let them have another Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* The Alternate Erevis shakes
<DeathStar> <Isis> I will
<DeathStar> 6* Isis touches her cheek and winks
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh looks to be gearing up, sending Aonee off with the Cridhes, Ulieah looking to Gem for what they should do.
<Chain> 6*A.Ama holds her Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* A. Ao moves for the hanger. A. Erevis screams in rage
<Seraphna> * Alt Lisa hugs onto A. Erevis and tries to help her.
<DeathStar> 6* A maid during all this serves food and crumpets
<DeathStar> 6* Ako and Iko hide under the table, hoping to be able to remain in the final battle. Lenneth is on the bridge, helping set up things
<Chain> 6*A.Athena holds onto her mother
<Seraphna> Elayne> 'So Johnny, do we take this mission?"
<DeathStar> <A. Erevis> W-Will she be...okay...?
<DeathStar> 6* She holds Athena, shaking
<Chain> <A.Athena> she has to
<DeathStar> <C. John> Do you want to?
<Kit> 6There's a tap on Lenneth's shoulder
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth turns
<Seraphna> Elayne> "Sounds like it might be a one way trip... I admit I'm hesitant."
<DeathStar> 6* A. Ao gets onto Sam's shuttle and sits
<Kit> 6Jem is there. 1"Are you staying?"
<DeathStar> 6* A. Erevis holds Iko and Ako
<Seraphna> * Sammael looks back at her. "You are sure about this?"
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Yes. I must protect my future Empire
<DeathStar> <A. Ao> Yes. Now go. *She waves her hand*
<Seraphna> * Sammael focuses on her link with the Prime Ao for a moment, then nods and begins to head out.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao watches Sammael go, frowning
<Kit> <Jem> Alright." 6She crosses her arms and stands there, apparently intending to stay
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> ... *she quirks a brow then turns and goes back to getting things ready.*
<Chain> 6*The other god kids walk off carrying Tel, wiggling her enticingly for Ako and Iko
<Kit> <Ouka> Cuddles?
<DeathStar> 6* Ako and Iko chase afterward. The maid follows after the cute enticing things
<DeathStar> 6* Cuddles sees Taiga about to turn 12 and throws a cute ball
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Look at the cute ball, Ouka
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Who was that maid anyway?"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> What maid?
<Seraphna> * CL, upset, starts to go with others heading down.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "The maid serving refreshments who just followed the kids out."
<DeathStar> <CHIP> No one was in there but you guys. *cough* Crazy cyborg
<DeathStar> 6* The Billys, who are busy signing people up for contracts, peer around
<Kit> <Ouka> Is she remaining on this ship or being evacuated, Cuddles?
<Chain> 6*Miyuki also gets any other civilians off that belong to herself,Kalon and Koala
<DeathStar> 6* What of the crumpets begins to glow
<Seraphna> Sammael> "I don't know if he'll honor his word. You know. That's why I need you to clear your mind while we fly. There may be something you can do."
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *looks at the others* "...guys!"
<DeathStar> 6* Only Tel makes it to the hanger, AKo and Iko not there
<DeathStar> <A. Ako> ...
<DeathStar> 6* C. John turns and dashes in, leaping at the crumpet
<DeathStar> 6* He grabs it and tosses it into Teddy's mouth and slams his bear mouth shut
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Lock down the PAX! Give the damn order! We have infiltraors on board!"
<Seraphna> Elayne> "The hell!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Watching as Teddy explodes outward, smoking
<Jackieness> <XX> "...that's just not cool."
<DeathStar> 6* A black hole forming inside him
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh frowns and hits lockdown mode. She traces people's nanites.
<DeathStar> <C. John> You have a better idea?!
<Jackieness> <Airym> "CHIP, please lock down the ship."
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Doing so
<Seraphna> Elayne> "That won't stop it for long, we need to collapse that hole."
<DeathStar> 6* C. John grabs Teddy's memory chip as his body is sucked inward
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I suggest engineering. The hyperdrive should potentially displace the hole."
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra screams out
<DeathStar> <Cassandra> Dad!
<DeathStar> 6* C. John grabs the bear and runs with it
<Seraphna> Elayne> "We have his chip sweetie. Mom has spare bodies."
<DeathStar> 6* The maid walks along with Ako and Iko in sacks, invisible to scans
<DeathStar> <Ako> We been catnapped
<Seraphna> * Elayne moves with him, as does Lisa. Who forms a barrier around it.
<DeathStar> <Iko> We been mewed
<Chain> 6*Miyuki tackles the maid down
<DeathStar> 6* The maid is hit and goes clunk like a robot
<Chain> <Miyuki> the fuck?
<Jackieness> <XX> "Yeah... still hard to see him get destroyed though..."
<Kit> <Ouka> ... Cuddles
<DeathStar> 6* She stands up, 'her' face showing a man
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cuddles moves around, locking medical down
<Kit> <Ouka> Then I will being going with her...
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> She can't be moved unless you want to wake her now
<Kit> 6Ouka hugs Cuddles.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki reels and foxfires it, trying to take the sack
<Kit> <Ouka> Thank you for everything.
<DeathStar> 6* Slash loses the sack
<DeathStar> <Slash> ...
<DeathStar> 6 *He forms his energy blade and teleports in at Miyuki, blitzing in and out. Death Star appears and parries his attack
<DeathStar> <Death Star> Get them out of here
<DeathStar> 6 *Death Star and Slash begin to parry and slash, sparks flying as their energy blades slam into each other at high speeds
<Chain> 6*Miyuki nods, carrying them and foxholing away
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh frowns and tracks energy readings, she relays the coordinates of the fight.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I have found the intruder fighting Death Start
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Video, please."
<DeathStar> 6* John reaches the engineering core, but the core grows bigger than Teddy's bodyh and begins to suck him in. He drops hois chip
<Seraphna> * Angelos nods and forms an hyperspace blade, appearing nearby the two.
<DeathStar> 6* The chip falling down the shaft and landing on a catwalk
<DeathStar> 6* The last catwalk before falling into the abyss
<Seraphna> * Elayne TKs him and the CHIP, holding strong while Lisa increases the shield.
<DeathStar> 6* John strains as he gets sucked in
<DeathStar> 6* John strains, the shield the only thing keeping his arm on
<Jackieness> <XX> "John!" *runs and grabs a hold of John to try to hold him*
<DeathStar> 6* Isis, near a console, eyes them
<DeathStar> <Isis> ...!
<Seraphna> * Elayne's nose bleeds as she pulls him back, with XX, Lisa holding the shield, Elayne leaves the chip on the ground nearby.
<DeathStar> 6* She forms a manifest ramp toward the core and tries to manifest the blackhole, pouring layer over layer as they yank John out, skin ripped off his hand
<DeathStar> <John> Aieee!
<Seraphna> Lisa> "Suit... won't hold for long!!!"
<Kit> 6Yuno slides over and helps Elayne pull, growling in her throat
<DeathStar> 6* Joihn lands with YUno and the rest, but the core, surrounded in crystal, keeps growing
<DeathStar> 6* needing to be rolled up the ramp Isis made; Isis pours blood
<Chain> 6*Miyuki pops in and reels
<Chain> <Miyuki> Isis!
<DeathStar> <Isis> I am fine. *she wipes her nose*
<Kit> 6Kasha makes a face.
<DeathStar> <Isis> Need a moment to recover
<Seraphna> * Elayne pants as she redirects her TK, moving the thing along the ramp.
<DeathStar> 6* Slash and Death Star tear up the hallway and Slash cuts off Death Star's left hand.
<Kit> 6Yuno holds out her hand and tries to crush the core with her own dark element
<DeathStar> <Slash> I am the stronger now.
<Chain> <Miyuki> Kasha, get Ako and Iko out of here
<Jackieness> <XX> *comm* "Is anhyone in engineering? I have some calculations for calibrating the hyperdrive so we cna move, leaving the blakc hole behind."
<DeathStar> <Death Star> ... *He stabs him in the gut and kicks him back
<Jackieness> <Airym> *comm* "Is anhyone in engineering? I have some calculations for calibrating the hyperdrive so we cna move, leaving the blakc hole behind."
<Kit> <Kasha> Yeah..
<Seraphna> * Angelos appears by Slash and DS. "Good thing he's got pals."
<Kit> 6Kasha goes for the little twins
<DeathStar> 6* Ako and Iko merowl, ready to fight, punching air
<DeathStar> 6* Slash turns to Angelos and attacks, blitzhing and appearing behind him, slashing his back rapidly until a woman picks him up and blasts him with hyperspace
<Seraphna> * Angelos forms a hyperblade. He takes a Slash at Slash.
<DeathStar> 6* And drops him into Angelos' slash
<Seraphna> * Angelos groans, bleeding bad. "Thanks... doll."
<DeathStar> <Isis> I am here. *She says into the comm*
<DeathStar> 6* Slash sparks, rising, missing his right side
<DeathStar> <Slash> .... *He forms a new blade and slashes at ElderI*
<DeathStar> 6* Going for her neck
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Transmitting now." *transmits the data to Isis*
<Seraphna> * Angelos phases in and out, blade set to block it.
<DeathStar> 6* John tries to roll the ball toward the core
<Seraphna> Angelos> "Away from my wife... Asshole."
<DeathStar> 6* Slash pushes against Angelos
<DeathStar> 6* Death Star comes in and stabs Slash in the back as Angelos holds up and twists, making the blade attack stop a moment
<Seraphna> * Angelos growls and pushes back.
<Seraphna> * Angelos slides his blade and slashes for Slash's neck.
<Jackieness> <XX> *runs over and pushes the ball with John*
<DeathStar> 6* Slash' head falls over
<DeathStar> 6* John and XX get it up to the core and Isis finishes
<DeathStar> <Isis> Jumping now
<DeathStar> 6* Isis leaps and they leave it behind
<Seraphna> * Elayne pants and grumbles, wiping blood from her nose.
<DeathStar> 6* john falls over beside Yuno and Ako and Iko hold onto Kasha, punching at the blackhole
<Kit> 6Kasha deadpans, keeping them away for it and heads for the evacuation areas
<DeathStar> 6* Prime John meanwhile sips tea in the lounge
<Jackieness> <XX> *tears off her top and then uses it to field dress John's hand*
<DeathStar> <Prime John> I think we missed something
<Seraphna> * Angelos watches the body as if not believing it's dead. Stepping back a bit, arm to guard Elder.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "...so, sir. Think we should... help them?"
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "We did... I think."
<DeathStar> <Prime John> No, no. We're the real heroes. We'll go later.
<DeathStar> 6* Death Star puts the DS sabre up and sighs
<DeathStar> <Death Star> I am too old for this shit. <Darien> Tell me about. *He walks up*
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "You sure? I'm pretty sure they just killed Slash without us. At least someone is thinking it."
<Seraphna> Angelos> "I think I did my part in the hero thing... I'm gonna bleed now."
<DeathStar> 6* Elder carries Angelos off, patting
<Chain> 6*Miyuki wipes the blood off Isis
<DeathStar> <Isis> Mewl. You all came to help. You, Ka...*she siles*
<Seraphna> * Angelos lets her, his healing doing the work.
<DeathStar> 6* Ako and Iko flail against Kasha, but are shipped off
<DeathStar> 6* They cling to the shuttle walls, peering at her like sad wet kittens as their shuttle leaves PAX
<Chain> <Miyuki> I have a shining record of heroism to keep
<Jackieness> <Airym> "And CHIP, I am working. I do not have the time to 'interface'."
<DeathStar> <CHIP> There's always tim to interface
<Jackieness> <Yasha> *boards a shuttle to evacuate along with the other political types."
<Jackieness> *
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<Kit> 6Kasha waves pollitely, then foxholes back to Miyuki
<DeathStar> 10-608.11.11 / 10-605.4.28 / April 28th, 2241 (Alt/Class)
<DeathStar> Location: PAX (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* So far, there has been no sign of Warren. The PAX has met up with what remains of Athena's fleet that is not doing rescue operations. A good chunk of the heroes remain on the ship. The Ayas working on the bridge with Lenneth and so on. The two Johns talking, the Classic's bandaged. Cheryl looks moody, considering the date, Taiga's birthday. Who looks to be 13 now.
<DeathStar> 6* They keep near Sol since that is where Centerpoint will appear if Warren manages his huge boost of reality power. Benjamin paces and Cheryl looks at her first born
<Kit> 6Rin peers at naked Taiga and Ouka, since she remained on with her.
<Kit> 6Chii massages Cheryl's shoulders
<Chain> 6*Miyuki sleeps in fox form in Beloved's basket
<Kit> 6Kasha nuzzles and cuddles beside her
<DeathStar> 6* Isis is with Miyuki and KAsha, resting her arm and nose until she is needed
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis has brought Ama to be back with her, for comfort, albeit briefly
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nuzzles
<Seraphna> * A. Angela works with Aya, Leyaeh doing what she can to coordinate the ship. Elayne resting. Cameron is helping with preparations. Tabetha pacing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I love you, my sun. *She touches her stomach*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I wanted you to know I plan to go into the future, since they need a progenitor to work the machine and the PAX is my home.
<Chain> 6*Ama kisses her gently
<Chain> <Ama> I understand
<Kit> <Megumi> ;A;
<DeathStar> 6* The Avenging Striker is hooked up beside them
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, the area near the moon shifts and Centerpoint appears, the large crystal structure apearing slowly
<Chain> 6*Miyuki peers up and settles onto Isis's shoulders
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I have confirmed the appearance of Centerpoint."
<DeathStar> 6* At the same time, they begin to get confirmations that Centerpoint is powering up
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *she stands up and moves to th bridge* What is Warren doing...?
<Seraphna> Peter> "Wonder what he plans..."
<DeathStar> <John> Think he's gone insane yet?
<DeathStar> <Benjamin> ...
<DeathStar> <Wind> He told me that he wouldn't go insane. That only an addict would truly understand the corruptive nature of the powers.
<Seraphna> Peter> "From what I read of him, he was always a little insane to begin with. In a good way."
<DeathStar> 6* Centerpoint sends out a pulse wave through the galaxy. Planets begin to come back online as the damage done to them is fixed, likely Warren's challenge. And Illium ships throughout the galaxy begin to get hit
<DeathStar> 6 *Being disabled.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He's using more powers than I dare imagine right now. He likely turned Centerpoint back online too
<Seraphna> Peter> "Just like him to turn the tables as a big beckoning middle finger."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is that why he was gone so long?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Most likely."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki chitters somberly
<Kit> <Kasha> Kon ;A;
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "It's one of the J-Twins there?"
<DeathStar> 6* The other PAX appears, and it's clear it's the Alt PAX. The Illium tech grafted on
<DeathStar> 6* Isis hurries for engineering
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Fun time."
<Kit> 6Kasha bamfs back to normal, grabbing Isis, then foxholes there
<DeathStar> 6* Isis kisses her cheek and begins to give them power. Lenneth flies them forward
<DeathStar> 6* The Alt PAX fires rays at Centerpoint, and Love calls out from her lab
<Chain> 6*Miyuki heads to Cheryl via foxhole, landing on her shoulder
<DeathStar> <Love> I never seen readings like that - those readings are like they are trying to bend and warp reality, bust the barrier
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Like the reality tears - they're trying to tear through it and get inside.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No wonder Warren powered it up
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "He figured they'd try something. Anything we can do about it or do we just stay on task? They seem focused on CEnterpoint and not us."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We need to get their databanks to learn their year
<DeathStar> 6* Centerpoint fires a huge beam at the ship, negating everything thrown and smashes into it, and the Alt PAX begins to twist and turn
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "So we disable the hell out of them, swoop in and convince Bizarro-CHIP to hand it over/"
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Or he does it for us. The disabling part. That looks like it hurt."
<DeathStar> 6* Like reality was rendering and twisting it inside and out. Illiums float out of it and twirl, being thrown into a prison and thrown into the moon
<Jackieness> <Airym> "If his persona remains intac, perhaps you could... distract the other CHIP."
<DeathStar> 6* Then Centerpoint powers down, likely Warren losing energy
<DeathStar> 6* The Alt PAX keeps flying, still online, and comes for them since they can't get through
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> They're coming in
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "So let's give em a good old fashioned beating."
<DeathStar> 6* The Alt PAX powers up
<DeathStar> 6* Love powers up the dark weapons
<DeathStar> l6* Erevis orders people to the weapons
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh gets on the weapons.
<Seraphna> * Peter takes a gunner seat.
<DeathStar> 6* The Alt PAX begins to fire hyperspace beams, hitting the PAX's shields and shaking, aiming for the Command Tower once more
<Kit> 6Jem stands close to Lenneth, staying out of the way
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grips Ama, hissing
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Transferring my tactical data on Illium shields and weapons from our previous encounters to gunnery stations. Hopefully, the Illium-PAX systems are comparable enough to have an effect."
<DeathStar> 6* Dark holes absorb shots, Love's new defense system
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Let's hope the reinforcements hold up."
<Chain> 6*Ama holds her close
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Ready to fire?"
<DeathStar> 6* The gunnery seats are taken by people. John takes one and fires, dark b lasts flying out and blsting through the Alt. PAX's shields, blowing holes through the ancient, wrecked vessel
<DeathStar> L<John> Yep!
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh and Peter start opening fire.
<DeathStar> 6* The Classic John joins, firing
<Seraphna> * Tabetha joins in if others aren't going to and fires.
<DeathStar> 6* Their dark blasts tear through it, showing that the Alt PAX was truly being held by spit and spittle, as the hull and stuff tears out. A direct hit takes out the engines and flames out and blows
<DeathStar> 6* The Alt PAX spinning and goes for a ram
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Please be wary of any suicide attacks... like that."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grips her seat and Lenneth begins to fly to the side
<Seraphna> * Peter aims and fires in a pattern to push it off course. Leyaeh helps.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Someone try to tractor it
<Seraphna> * Tabetha nods and tries the tractor.
<DeathStar> 6* The Alt PAX slows down and stops finally. Cheryl speaks up
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Their shields are down. I'm taking a team to their command tower. Come on.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Alt Command Tower (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl beams in with Prime John, Aurica, Lorelei, and anyone who wishes to come in. They are in the area where Ao's child was at before, the area transformed into a throne room. Alt Erevis looks around, grimacing, remembering what she went through before as she walks through the slave bed rooms and Ao's room for the throne room
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica moves along, her spiked energy whip out and Lorelei's hands glow. Cheryl calmly looks about as John holds his gun close.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki is full sized and follows
<Seraphna> * Tabetha peers around,guns ready. Peter has his rifle out. Cameron holds his book.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind ports in, and looks around
<DeathStar> 6* Adjusting his shades
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *looks around the ship, keeping one of her pistols drawn*
<Kit> 6Megumi has come this time, seemingly because Wind has, studying him
<DeathStar> 6* As they move in closer, they see Ao's red haired child there, with his Illium skin and glaring. On the ground are dead Illium guards, killed by the child's fit of rage
<DeathStar> <Ao's kid> Yo-You bad people! You have ruined my ship! I will kill you! Kill you kill you kill you
<DeathStar> 6* Alt Erevis eyes him, looking disdainful
<Seraphna> Peter> "This is what the other Ao was going back to?"
<Chain> 6*Miyuki places a hand on her hip
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei holds up the datapad Airym gave to hack the computers since there's no cHIP
<DeathStar> <Ao's kid> Once Darien brings me back my mommy, she will punish you all! She would never, ever, like any of you!
<Chain> <Miyuki> someone needs a good smack
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Yeah, she totally didn't want to come back."
<DeathStar> 6* Ao's kid snaps his fingers. "Warren! Come out here and punish them all!" 6* The Alt Warren walks out, his two guns in his hands, a dead look in his eyes, a test subject for ressurection it seems at it's earlyh stages
<Seraphna> Peter> "Kid, something tells me no one was ever around to teach you some manners."
<DeathStar> 6* He lifts his guns and aims it at them, and begins to fire, his skill still there. Lorelei fires blasts, trying to counter the shots, but Warren has already dashed, and fired an alternate shot that hits Lorelei in the shoulder and spun her.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha leaps aside and tries to confuse Warren with a telepathic blow.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao Brat stomps his fists on the chair. "Bread and circus!"
<Chain> 6*Miyuki quickly glances around before foxholing to a new spot and exchanging fire
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *draws her second pistol and then dashes to the side, returning fire at Warren* "Could someone tell him about his greenish-blue Saturday night party on Earth?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Alt. Warren jerks as he's hit, no shielding since part of his mind wants to be defeated
<Seraphna> * Peter charges a shot and leaps away, but aims oddly, using his ranger shooting to fire a stun at the Ao-Kid.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha gives him a TP sleep command.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips out and grabs Warren's arm and yanks him, but he twists and gets his arm free, the command not working
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lands and kicks Cheryl in the back, while Peter hits Ao Kid and he jerks, looking down thn up
<DeathStar> <Ao Brat> Y-You SHOT me
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *aims for Warren's hands and then fires*
<Chain> 6*Miyuki tries to foxhole behind the brat
<Seraphna> * Peter sighs and pulls out a grenade. "We need the big spankings, don't we?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica looks up
<DeathStar> <Aurica> I got it
<Seraphna> * Tabetha takes a shot at Warren's leg.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind ports onto the roof and fires donw, while Prime John rushes in and punches at Warren, so he dofgesd and gts hit in the leg and hand. Alt WArren stumbles back, losing one gun
<Kit> 6Megumi leaps for the front of the kid, swinging down a dark-matter zanbato-- more of a distraction for Miyuki
<DeathStar> 6* The gun beginning to overload
<DeathStar> 6* The Ao Kid lifts his hands, forming a hyperspace ball to fire at Megumi
<Kit> 6Chii shoots the gun away with her pistols
<DeathStar> <Ao Brat> Die!
<Seraphna> * Tabetha TKs it away from the others.
<DeathStar> 6* He unleashes it
<Chain> 6*Miyuki grabs his hands if possible
<DeathStar> 6* The kid blinks as he's grabbed
<DeathStar> <Ao Kid> No FAIR
<Kit> <Megumi> I've fought this before.." 6She looks bored and slams her zanbato down into it, the dark matter nature warping
<DeathStar> 6* The gun is kicked away and explodes
<Chain> 6*Miyuki spins him over and smacks his ass hard with the palm
<DeathStar> 6* Ao Brat flails and cries
<Chain> <Miyuki> BAD
<Kit> <Megumi> Ao-nee was stronger...
<DeathStar> 6* He is defeated. Warren slumps, no longer commanded
<Kit> 6Megumi lands.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *keeps her guns pointed at Warren, just in case*
<Seraphna> Cameron> "You okay, Warren?"
<Chain> 6*Miyuki sits down in his former seat and gives him another twenty across the ass
<DeathStar> <Wind> We have a bigger problem. This ship is getting hotter. I think it's been set to explode
<DeathStar> <Wind> And I cannot warp out. We've been trapped.
<Seraphna> Peter> "Then we need another way out and fast."
<DeathStar> 6* Ao Brat flails, cerying. "I-I will kill you all and the other PAX with my ship
<DeathStar> 6* He tries to evil laugh while crying
<Chain> <Miyuki> You want another smack?
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "How will you see your Mommy then?"
<Kit> 6Megumi smacks his ass with her dark matter blade
<DeathStar> 6* Wind growls
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, their WArren appears
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Damn it."
<Kit> <Megumi> What if I breach the hull?
<DeathStar> 6* His skin cracking and burning all over, his eyes red and looking like they are going to burn and ooze
<Seraphna> Peter> "Hey Warren. Ship's about to blow."
<Chain> <Miyuki> thank gods its our Warren
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6 *He eyes the Alt Warren and melts him, taking pity
<Kit> <Chii> Warren...
<DeathStar> <Warren> *He opens a portal to PAX* Come .. on...
<DeathStar> <Warren> Except you three.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki hurries in
<Chain> (scratch
<DeathStar> 6* He points at Miyuki, wind and Cheryl
<Kit> 6Chii looks apologetic, then jerks.
<DeathStar> 6 *Cheryl and wind pause
<Kit> <Chii> Hell no
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "Ok, evac time!"
<Chain> 6*Miyuki blinks and nods
<Seraphna> * Peter nods and rises, Tabetha looks at Miyuki. "I'll take the kid."
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica and Lorelei move through, as does Prime John
<Chain> 6*Miyuki hands him to Tab
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *heads through the portal*
<Kit> 6Megumi hugs Wind, since he seems to be more or less normalizing, then passes through
<Seraphna> * Tabetha drags him over, Peter and Cameron step through.
<Kit> <Chii> This happens every time, you're not keeping Cherry and leaving me out!
<DeathStar> 6* Wind and Cheryl move over
<Chain> 6*Miyuki moves to Warren
<DeathStar> <Warren> Trying to split the power is a mistake. 6* He touches the three and a symbol glows on the three. "It needs to be a trinity of power."
<DeathStar> <Wind> But we determined the powers are too weak then to be any good
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then work together... more.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You all clearly cannot handle it...
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's too corrorsive.
<DeathStar> 6* The Alt PAX begins to explode in parts.
<Seraphna> * Somewhere, Angelos knows he was right all along. See the Classic Crossover with Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Warren> When I die, the power will go to you all
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hesitates but Warren nods into the portal
<DeathStar> <Warren> I need to get this ship away
<DeathStar> <Warren> And then seal Centerpoint - only one can do that
<Chain> <Miyuki> why cant you give it to u---oh...I see
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright
<Kit> <Chii> Good-bye... again, Carmichael..?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets go
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at Warren one last time, sadly, then moves through
<DeathStar> 6* Wind studies him and touches his shoulder and steps in
<Chain> <Miyuki> Thank you Warren
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods, straining not to burn out
<Chain> 6*Miyuki kisses his cheek and follows
<Kit> 6Chii leans in and gives him a kiss as well, following Miyuki.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth keeps trying to fly away while Erevis looks panicked
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We have to stop that other PAX from blowing so close to Earth...
<DeathStar> 6* The others begin to appear through the portal
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are back!
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Towing it is possible, but places our PAX into danger."
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Yes... Warren is taking care of things."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki nods quietly
<Kit> <Chii> Damn old man
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "The one in charge over there is psycho-brat."
<Seraphna> * Peter steps through and grumbles. Tabetha dragging the kid through. "...This is who wanted the other Ao."
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly the Alt PAX implodes, something sucking it's energy, then Warren flashes out and Centerpoint vanishes from sight. At the same time, Aurica's data is read by some force
<DeathStar> 6* The date flashinhg on screen
<Seraphna> Peter> "That's our number."
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be 2,389 years in the future
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "The thought occurs to me that this means Sammael is still enroute."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "A pity that I could not study the Illium technology. The thought make my neuro-net all tingly."
<Seraphna> Cameron> "Well... that's distant. I'd have a beard by then."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down in the captain's chair and begins to power up the chair
<DeathStar> 6* Even as the reality powers going through it powers it up and enables both ships to leap forward into the future
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Interceptor
<DeathStar> 6* Warren appears in Arhn's room, burnt and smoken, ashen and lays in their bed, ragged breath
<DeathStar> 6* He takes his bottle of pain pills and pops them all almost, then tosses them down and takes ARhn into his arms
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "...Wrren... what happened?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren spends the next few minutes recapping the session
<DeathStar> <Warren> But I could not..go without coming back to you...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren closes his eyes, holding her
<DeathStar> <Warren> I have a tiny remnant left in me..do you want to go...to our special place...together before it's too late?
<Jackieness> <Arhn> *reaches out to touch the sid eof his face* "Erusians live long lives... I had known that this day would come... but not this soon... yes, please take us there."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren focuses his powers and puts them in a tiny marble reality where he's not dying. Where Warren sits, watching Arhn perform her music in a peaceful world as he leans back, pain free without a bum ticker or leg. He sips a drink and leans back, watching her sing and perform in a better time for them both, both beyond the touch of death
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 12-997.11.11
<DeathStar> Location: The Future (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* The PAX emerges from the time jump into their future, 2389 years later, the Avenging Striker with them, the crew all gathered, the various characters all there on the PAX staring out as Erevis pants, drained a little. Both Johns stare at and Wind, Cheryl, and Miyuki feel the reality powers entering them as they arrive.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, I guess we're not Reality Strikers anymore at this point, but Future Strikers.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki touches her breasts
<Seraphna> Cameron> "That works for me."
<Kit> <Chii> So corny, Cherry
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Thank you. *She tries to be distracting herself. Benjamin has his eyes closed and head forward. Cheryl touches him*
<Seraphna> Peter> "I'm leaving it up to someone else to tell Carmichael what her father did after this, by the way."
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead is a planet with a ton of Illium readings coming from it*
<Kit> <Chii> Thanks, Peter. I'll hand it, chicken.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, not all of us on the PAX can go there and we should leave the PAX in reserve - it's the one with the time machine
<Kit> 6Chii makes a face, hugging Ben.
<Jackieness> <Josephine> "So who goes and who stays?"
<DeathStar> <Prime John> So the ones going on the mission get on the Avenging Striker.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> This should be volunteer only - who knows what they are going to throw at us, or can throw at us. The Future PAX might be there ofr all we know, and it will be upgraded beyond anything we know
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl heads for the Avenging Striker, and Prime John and Classic John follow, as well as Lorelei and Aurica.
<Chain> <Miyuki> I'll go, just I gotta see my wifes for a second
<DeathStar> 6 * Benjamin takes ab reath and goes.

<DeathStar> <Darien> Fly like the wind. <Wind> Thanks
<DeathStar> 6* Isis comes up
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "I'll... stay in reserve. Setsuna is still back on Earth."
<DeathStar> <Isis> Be safe all of you
<Chain> 6*Miyuki smothers her in kisses and drowns her in tears...and crusghes her
<Kit> 6Eluere grabs Curali from behind.
<Kit> <Kasha> Wh-What the hel-- aghh!
<DeathStar> 6* Curali blinks and hugs Eluere, snuggling
<Jackieness> <Josephine> *salutes and goes to join Prime John on the ship*
<DeathStar> <Curali> I miss having sex with you after all these years. *She tells her. Darien blinks and goes lalalal*
<Chain> 6*Miyuki pulls Isis into it
<Chain> <Miyuki> ;A;
<Kit> <Eluere> So it finally comes out, I'm a good lay, but a bad sister ;A;
<Jackieness> <XX> *follows ehr Classic John on to the Striker as well*
<Kit> 6Yuno rides on John.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis hugs back, earts twitching as she cries too, for some reason
<Kit> <Megumi> ... I want to fight, but I'll remain here as well.
<Kit> <Megumi> Myself and love are the only ones who can manage the technology she's added to our PAX.
<Chain> 6*eventually Miyuki finally frees them
<DeathStar> <Curali> I love you because you're my sister and that's why I like having sex with you - to show my liove
<DeathStar> 6* Curali grins and moves off
<Chain> <Miyuki> I'll be back, and if that brat gives you grief give him the belt
<DeathStar> 6* C. John sets Yuno down and looks at her
<Kit> <Megumi> And if it comes to it-- we can manifest it without the technology.
<DeathStar> <C. John> Wait on daddy to come back
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Cheryl, I will remain here to coordinate between your team and PAX unless you require my presence."
<Kit> <Yuno> Yuno doesn't want to wait!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I understand. I'll count on you
<Seraphna> Elayne> "I'll keep him safe dear."
<DeathStar> <C. John> ... *He nods* Alright, you can come
<Seraphna> * Elayne blinks a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* He lets her come surprisinglyh and enters the ship
<Kit> 6Eluere chases Curali. 1"Then show me more love!"
<Kit> 6Yuno smiles, pulling knives out of... somewhere and playing with them in her hands.
<DeathStar> <Curali> *She gives Eluere a tongue kiss *
<Kit> <Eluere> ...!! ... G-Good girl..
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Please bring me back a souvenir to study."
<DeathStar> 6* Curali steps on the ship.
<DeathStar> <Isis> ome back to us
<Seraphna> * Elayne whispers to her, "Here's a secret, Sera and I always agreed one of us goes to make sure he doesn't die. So you get to share in the job too now love."
<DeathStar> <Isis> So you can spank him
<DeathStar> <Isis> And me and Kasha and Hi

<Jackieness> <XX> "What am I, chopped liver?!"
<Chain> <Miyuki> and we can have Ama keep him
<Chain> 6*Ama leans in
<DeathStar> 6* C. John gropes XX's rear and grins
<Chain> <Ama> did someone say...little boy?~
<Seraphna> Elayne> "No, you just kick ass in a more offensive nature dear."
