* DeathStar sets down grapes
* kalonZombie peels them
<ChadWinters`> What kind of monster are you?
* Kemonohime has joined #TAW-Session31
<Jackieness> He's a zmombie .-.
* Xanatos likes raisins
<DeathStar> That's 3
* Jackieness swaps grapes for cherries instead
<DeathStar> A-Are they the chocolate cherries that appear around Christmas?
* Sathen plays with a cherry
<DeathStar> 10 in a box?
<Sara> Those are called cordials if you mean the chocolate-covered cherries
<DeathStar> Yes, cordials
* DeathStar drools
<ChadWinters`> Ewww..
<Sara> I always liked those when I was younger, too
<Jackieness> These are the brandy-filled version -.-!
<Sara> I like cherries
<Sara> ... I don't do alcohol though
<DeathStar> https://s3.amazonaws.com/static.caloriecount.about.com/images/medium/queen-anne-cordial-cherries-58319.jpg
<DeathStar> I think it's milk chocolate I like
<DeathStar> I know it's either milk or dark I don't like
<DeathStar> I forget every year
<Sara> Dark chocolate is more bitter
<Sara> Milk chocolate is the sweeter of the two
<DeathStar> Then it's milk I like
<kalonZombie> Dark chocolate is superior
<kalonZombie> In taste and health content
<DeathStar> But yeah I get a few every christmas
<DeathStar> I adore those
<DeathStar> Dark milk
<DeathStar> My mom remembers what I like
<DeathStar> I'll ask her later
* Sathen peers around expectantly
<Jackieness> True
<DeathStar> It might be dark actually

<DeathStar> 10-636.11.5
<DeathStar> Location: Mobile Base
<DeathStar> 6* So far nothing eventual has been going on. It is quiet, and Eve has been spending her time checking out the map on the top floor's command center, the world map revolving with red marks, trying to get information on each center.
<DeathStar> 6* John spends his time down in the mobile base's training center
<Luci> * An'Mi bounces around in there battling with a training bag.
<Luci> * Reese peers over the map and sits back, watching Eve work.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus flexes in front of the mirron in the training area, like all those goddamn workout bros do in real gyms.
<Sathen> *Orihime sits in an adjoining area molding a small ball of fire into various shapes and figures*
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta has the ship on auto pilot, and seems to be musing, going over something on her datapad.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash blinks at Marcus
<Sara> <Kaori> It's so lonely here without Hessie and Ren... *she murmurs to herself as she plays a game, her attention divided*
<kalonZombie> 6*Then starts training, blinking in and out as he teleports between three training bags
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *walks near Kaori* "Ren stayed around my granddaughter so they could do their band or something."
<Sara> <Kaori> Right... *she says, looking up for only a moment at her*
<Sara> <Kaori> Vesta? How's everything looking? *she says without looking up from her game, this time*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus seems satisfied and moves for the mess area to have his post-workout feast
* ChadWinters` rubs the bridge of his nose as he steps out of the science lab, his left arm bandaged from where he was stabbed.
<Kemonohime> <Fiona> Grandfather," she notes, having been approaching the lab
<DeathStar> <Vesta> *She peers up* The ship seems to be running at 100%. Frankly, with an onboard AI like CHIPPY, there's not much for me to do. In fact, my flying isn't really that necessary; the AI could technically handle it
<Luci> * Tabetha sits near the command table.
<Kemonohime> <Fiona> I must ask... are you sure you want me to work on this query algorithm?
<DeathStar> <Vesta> If you trusted it enough
<Sara> <Kaori> An experienced player will always outdo an AI at the highest levels, *she pauses* with no offense meant to CHIPPY
<ChadWinters`> Don't feel qualified for it?
<DeathStar> <CHIPPY> Sniffle. N-None taken
<Sara> <Kaori> An AI can do more at once, though
<Luci> Tabetha> There there Chippy...
<Sara> * She notes
<DeathStar> 6* Eve exits the command room toward the bridge area
<Kemonohime> * Fiona muses. "I'm not as versed in programming as dad, which you might have been expecting, but no, it's not that I couldn't do it..."
<Sathen> *Orihime keeps playing with her fire, a small release after having to keep it bottled up all the time*
<DeathStar> 6* John bear hugs his bag and tackles it to the ground; he stands up and steps out, moving up from the second floor to the top
<Kemonohime> <Fiona> It's more of a concern. You've always stressed for the highest amount of security possible and while something like this could make operating the ship, a base, or any device more convenient and responsive, the fact is... that to make some predictive, it has to learn and store information.
<Kemonohime> <Fiona> Itself could be a security risk if someone knew what to do or where to look.
<Luci> * An'Mi follows, scooting about.
<DeathStar> 6* The labs on the third floor glow with evil psionic tech
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus loads up on food and carries it with him to the bridge, not wanting to eat alone.
<ChadWinters`> It's a fair concern. It's also only a part of a bigger picture.
<DeathStar> <Eve> *she sits by Kaori* I've been looking over the area that Warren marked, and trying to determine viability and what they are.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *glances over as Marcus comes in* "Seriously? Isn't that what the mess is for?"
<DeathStar> <Vesta> If you spill that crap on the bridge controls, and crash us
<DeathStar> <Vesta> I will kill you from the after life
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps onto the bridge with a big bowl of chicken legs, eating on one. Pausing at Cass, he offers her one.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> No one was in there, it's lonely.
<Sara> * Kaori glances at Eve
<Luci> * An'Mi snatches one off Marcus and sits up by Kaori.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You think this would crash us? Naw this ship is better than that.
<Luci> * An'Mi nibbles chicken, which shoud terrify any Gitari.
<Kemonohime> <Fiona> Alright. If you're certain.
<DeathStar> <Eve> It seems Warren marked a few places on the map that don't even exist on the main EarthGov databases anymore. *She touches the air, and a screen appears* Apparantly, according to what I can tell, there used to be secret bases out there
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "What Vesta said. No food or drinks on the bridge."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I...I'll leave if someone comes with me.
<Sara> <Kaori> Used to? You sure there aren't still? *she pauses* They could just be empty.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Fine, I'll go with. We havne't really talked since you got back anyway."
<Luci> Reese> "Lonely, Marcus?"
<Kemonohime> <Fiona> Seemed like people are meeting on the bridge," she notes, bowing slightly before she heads that way, glancing at a datapad offhandedly.
<ChadWinters`> When it integrates with the rest of the systems and algorthym's it wont' be a concern. Not easily at least
* ChadWinters` moves along with her
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus brightens up at that
<Xanatos> <Marcus> That sounds great. 6* He marches back towards mess with Cassandra.
<DeathStar> <Eve> I guess that's what he wants us to look at. Apparantly from what little I could tell, he wants us to check out blocks belonging to some organization called Janus?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *heads down to the mess with MArcus*
<DeathStar> <Eve> They had a huge operation long ago.
<Sara> <Kaori> Janus, huh... As a gamer, I can only say that's one of the shadiest names that ever pops up.
* ChadWinters` steps on the bridge with Fiona. 1'Did you say Janus?"
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *as she leaves* "Screw, Janus!" *walks out*
<Luci> * Tabetha blinks a bit. "Cran's old organisation."
<Sara> <Kaori> Oh. *she pauses* Still sounds shady. But in games there's people named Janus sometimes and they're always, always bad news.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> So all these years now and you're still running ops. Figured you'd have retired by now.
<DeathStar> <Eve> Yes. Apparantly Warren thinks it might be worth checking out some of their old haunts, see if their old bases of operations are being used
<Sara> * Kaori nods slowly
<DeathStar> <Eve> He listed a few old base locations, as well as casinos, and a location on Pluto
<Luci> * Setsuna walks into the mess and flops on Cassandra's side, eating an apple.
<Kemonohime> * Fiona squints, the appearances of Cran and Spade, even as shades, having been the stem for her concern and now Janus perhaps arising.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash heads up to the bridge, stretching a bit, which is odd because he's a robot but ehh
* ChadWinters` clicks his tongue. 1"If Warren thinks it's a concern, it's probably best we check it out
<DeathStar> <Eve> I guess if you guys think this sun with a V in it might be VI, and VI and Janus had a connection
<DeathStar> <Eve> He thinks there's a chance they could be using forgotten bases?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "I've been retired on and off over the years. Course, I just replace my body when it starts wearing down."
<ChadWinters`> Hide in plain sight.
<Luci> Setsuna> "It stays fun that way."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> And you two are stil a thing? That's some commitment. 6*He motions to Setsuna as picks a chicken leg clean, setting the bone aside.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve puts her hands together, then throws them apart, opening up the world
<Luci> Setsuna> "With help from the Billys."
<DeathStar> <Eve> Warren has marked 3 spots in the Europeon State, a casino, and two bases. There's a spot on Pluto, but that's further out of course
<DeathStar> <Eve> Where do you want to go, boss?
* ChadWinters` eyes the locations, pulling up his datapad and cross referencing things.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hey that's who I haven't seen since getting time shifted. The Billys.
<Kemonohime> <Fiona> When does Warren sleep...
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "They're at home."
<Luci> Tabetha> "Sundays."
<Sathen> *Orihime quenches her fire and heads off to find the rest of the group, stopping in and checking various places*
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I don't think Warren needs sleep.
<ChadWinters`> Sleep? 6He glances at Fiona then over at Kaori.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I think spite keeps him going.
<DeathStar> <Eve> Who knows. *She glances at Chad* You were alive back then
<DeathStar> <Eve> Maybe you should suggest a spot, grandpa
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'd like to see them after things calm down some. They were always good kids.
* ChadWinters` rubs his face now as he peers over them. 1"Pluto is the most problematic. We either hit it first and get lucky and find something but then risk comprimising other chances. Or we ignore it as consider it a wash
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Heh... good?"
<Luci> Setsuna> "They would take offense to that."
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta crosses her arms, while John reclines, eyeing all the goober gabber
<Sara> * Kaori ponders for a long moment
<Luci> An'Mi> "Is it planet? Currently wonder."
<Sara> <Kaori> A casino, huh? That sure sounds shady. How about there?
<ChadWinters`> The casino one won't change much most likely. So it'd be the two bases before that one.
<Sara> * Kaori then glances at Chad and shrugs.
<ChadWinters`> Want to risk exposing everyone's presense off the bat?
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Who knows, An'Mi? Scientists reclassify what a planet is and isn't so often.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Aw they're just misunderstood. They always did right by me.
<DeathStar> <Eve> Well
<Sara> <Kaori> Okay, oaky. Let's go to one of the bases.
<Sara> okay*
<DeathStar> <Eve> If we're smart we could do the casino without alerting anyone, grandpa
<DeathStar> <Eve> One momento
<DeathStar> 6* Eve moves down stairs
<kalonZombie> <Ash> It wasn't and then it was and then it wasn't and then it was and then it kinda wasn't but when in conjunction with Charon it counted...
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta pauses, leaning forward
<DeathStar> 6* Eve fishes around in the science lab, ignoring the glowing psionic parts of Spade, and comes back up
<DeathStar> 6* Eve sets down a box, and opens it up, showing strange flappy things
<ChadWinters`> Eve has a point. Do you trust everyone you'd send in there to not mess it up?
<DeathStar> <Eve> *swallows, and shudders, then pulls it over her face
<DeathStar> <Eve> *clicking it, she looks like a nondescript red head*
<Sathen> *Orihime comes in to the bridge and looks around at everyone, looking to Eve and what she's doing*
<DeathStar> <Eve> Warren gave us these
<Sara> * Kaori blinks, peering at the device
<Luci> Reese> Disguises.
<Kemonohime> <Fiona> Warren... can take them back. I'm not putting something over my face...
<Sara> <Kaori> Then you're not coming with.
<DeathStar> <Eve> They have a short lifetime though - about one hour
<ChadWinters`> Interesting. 6He pulls one out, examining it. 1"These could do it."
<Kemonohime> * Fiona makes a face.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve drums her fingers
<Sathen> Orihime> Seems like they'd be useful for some ofthe people whose actually been in the spotlight before.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Well, we have grandkids too."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve pulls it off, and the device goes plain again
<DeathStar> <Eve> Just don't get it wet
<ChadWinters`> Usually the best best bet is the lowest risk with the highest pay off. But this is your team Kaori.
<DeathStar> <Eve> Or it'll short out
<Sara> <Kaori> Wet, huh?
<DeathStar> <Eve> Wet, or stabbed
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah I think I heard about that, though calling either of you grandma seems pretty weird.
<Luci> An'Mi> Or feed it after midnight.
<Sara> <Kaori> Casinos always have the highest pay-out if you're not stupid. *she notes cheerfully*
<Kemonohime> <Fiona> ... You're okay with that?" She squints at Eve
<DeathStar> <Eve> I'm counting numbers
<DeathStar> <Eve> It helps
* ChadWinters` grunts in response to Kaori
<DeathStar> <Eve> I'll be right back. LEt me know your decision
<DeathStar> 6* Eve moves off
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta watches Eve go
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *shrugs* "You probably met our granddaughter back at the underground base."
<Sara> <Kaori> So, I figure we'll check out this casino. Bases that may or may not be abandoned can wait on us. *she smiles* Who's coming with me?
<DeathStar> <John> I'll do it. Besides, if we attack a base, and the casino is tied, they might be more wary
<DeathStar> <John> *he leans forward* Better to do a casino, and if we fuck up, just hit the base harder
<Xanatos> <Marcus> There's so many new people running around I can't keep up. I try, but I fail.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I'll go.
<Sathen> Orihime> I could go as somebodies arm baggage, don't think they'd let me in normally.
<Luci> * Reese nods. "I'm in."
<Sara> <Kaori> I do agree; if they know we're after them, they might pull back on their fronts.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Reikana is our granddaughter."
<Luci> Tabetha> "I will help too."
<Sara> <Kaori> Cool. *she smiles*
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Yaaaay mom's coming
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus holds up a finger to his head in thought.
<Luci> An'Mi> "Will watch ship. Not good actor."
<ChadWinters`> Or pack up completely.
<Sara> <Kaori> They're less likely to abandon their actual bases, especially if they think they're well-kept secrets. I think so, anyway.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Underground Base
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands in the command center, glancing over things, eyeing the recent Vice President new laws. He muses; with the military now under her control, it is making it harder to work around them.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I just hope Peter was a crappy teacher
<kalonZombie> <Hale> He probably wasn't.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You are not raising my faith
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Since when was that my job?
<Luci> Angela> "Hrm. He managed to get the team through times when you and Cheryl were both gone."
<Kemonohime> <Necia> Are you thinking we'll be squaring off against his former underlings?
<DeathStar> <Warren> *eyes Hale* Who made you my temporary XO with Hess out sick?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I am certain of it, and the Wraiths
<Kemonohime> <Necia> Then I will start analyzing their strong and weak points for our exploitation.
<Xanatos> <Kane> They'll just be doing their jobs, but it unfortunate.
<Xanatos> (it is)
<Kemonohime> <Necia> As well as their schedule habits and response times.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Also likely we will face Eluere's husband
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Technically she shouldn't be using the Wraiths too much since they technically don't exist, but then again we've had smarter people do stupider things.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Actually, Hale, it would be incrediblely smart. Using non-existant people to take out a non-existant group
<Luci> Angela> "They don't have to play by the same rules."
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Hm.
<Luci> Angela> "And we can't play dirty unless we want to solidify the case against us."
<Kemonohime> <Necia> ... On the contrary
<Kemonohime> <Necia> We can play very, very dirty.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We just have to hope she takes us in when the time comes - which means she is a good guy he was duped. If not, it's trouble
<Kemonohime> * Necia muses, smiling behind her hand a bit with eyes closed, looking almost like an imp being short and semi-chubby with tons of hair.
<Luci> Angela> "How they try to capture or kill us will sort of make that clear."
<DeathStar> <Warre> *pats Necia's head, then perks up as a signal beeps. He taps a button and a world map comes up*
<DeathStar> <Warren> There.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane looks up from his console to peer at the world map.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale looks it over
<Kemonohime> <Necia> Uncle won't be a problem. He has to play by the books-- and I'll rewrite them.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon dusts the area, still under the weather
<DeathStar> <Ren> What's that?
<DeathStar> <Warren> It might be Spade's remains. I put the psionic device on the mobile ship, but not before I had the signature imprint put on the computers here
<Luci> * Angela frowns.
<kalonZombie> <Hale> About what percent would you say it's likely to be Spade's remains?
<Luci> * Lisa sits up from paperwork and looks over.
<Kemonohime> * Necia moves over to the terminals and lets her eyes glow, tapping in to find some local surveillance to check on the glowing points.
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na stands next to Angela, sending her good feelings
<DeathStar> <Warren> More likely. It's not quite the same readings as the guns and weapons
<DeathStar> 6* WArren turns
<Xanatos> 6* Kane peers at the location and checks to see what might be at those coordinates.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Ako, you will stay here on base guard duty. Protect personnel like Taiga and Vodka.
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Good enough to go looking into it then.
<DeathStar> 6* Ako salutes
<Kemonohime> * Necia pauses in her dive, squinting at Warren not including her in base personnel
<Luci> * Jennifer grabs her scanner and gear, getting a copy of the signature. Lisa fixes her jacket and rises too. Angela getting up and grabbing her own gear.
<DeathStar> 6* Necia would pick up no local stuff, but a satalite would pick up what looks like a desert base complex
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na moves to gear up, as well as Hale
<DeathStar> 6* In North America State
<DeathStar> <Warren> Whoever wants to come, it's up to you
<Kemonohime> * Necia moves one hand, adjusting the holo to display what she found, still eyeing Warren
<DeathStar> 6* WArren heads out. Lev grabs his rifle off the table, and moves on out. Ren follows casually
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *scrambles in, adjusting her outfit* "I'm here!"
<Luci> * Jennifer, Angela and Lisa follow.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane stands and tucks the datapad into the inside pocket on his jacket. He gives Lemon a kiss on the cheek.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Be safe. 6* He says before going to join the others.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale and Mi'Na follow
<Jackieness> <Myria> *leaves a box on the team transport marked as psi containment*
<DeathStar> 6* Ren messages Kiseki, since she is around the base sometimes, that they are heading out
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *heads after the others*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren climbs onto a smaller version of the mobile base, and sits down, letting someone else fly. His forehead is covered in sweat
<DeathStar> 6* Lev marches up and takes a seat, checking out his rifle. Making sure it's in tip top shape. Finally Ren takes a seat
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na takes a seat and Hale moves to fly
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon has slid a chocolate cupcake into Kane's pocket
<Xanatos> <Kane> You alright? 6* He sits down across from Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fine. *He pops a pill*
<Kemonohime> * Necia enters, wearing a tactical suit, bumping into Hale and blinking having headed toward the flight controls
<Xanatos> 6* Kane smiles to himself as he takes the cupcake out to eat.
<Luci> * Angela takes a seat with Mi'Na, Jennifer takes a seat by Warren, getting a scan in while they're seated and Lisa takes a seat on her own.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Have you ever thought about cybernetic augmentation?
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer would see the scans are dangerously low
<DeathStar> <Warren> No
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *sits down and buckles up*
<Luci> * Jennifer frowns and looks worried, and a bit frustrated, having spent all her free time for a while now trying to find a means to treat him.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Very well. Let me know should you change your mind.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *Grunts*
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale moves to fly when everyone gets on
<DeathStar> 6* Eyeing Kane with his famous look
<Kemonohime> * Necia squints at Hale
<DeathStar> 6* Lev leans on the armrest, peering at Jennifer
<DeathStar> <Lev> Is the bossman okay?
<Xanatos> 6* Kane is probably used to the look at the very least and is also enjoying the delicious cupcake.
<DeathStar> 6* Ren peers Reikana over
<Luci> Jennifer> "I..." *she frowns* "It's up to him to discuss. Sorry..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> So. About halloween. Is that normal for you?
<Xanatos> <Kane> Okay is a very general term. 6* He says after a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Lev nods a few times, peering up at Kane
<DeathStar> <Lev> Your woman must love you, sneaking food into your clothing
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Huh? What?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well, you got a bit wild, dancing about and flashing everyone
<DeathStar> 6* Ren says straight faced
<Luci> * Jennifer looks at her father again with worry, but doesn't speak it. Angela looks over at Warren curiously, but knows the history of the Warrens well enough to guess what's going on.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...I... what?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shows Angela teeth
<Xanatos> <Kane> I am a very lucky man.
<Luci> Angela> "Burger?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Then you chased the little kids around, threatening to eat them to make yourself stronger
<Kemonohime> * Necia awkward sits on the other side of Lev.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "H....huh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lev watches Necia and Hale battle for pilot dominancy before Necia gives up
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think someone spiked the punch
<DeathStar> *Ren nods*
<Xanatos> <Kane> Do you have someone, Mr. Lev?
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> ...Well Dek'Serr WAS there...
<DeathStar> <Lev> No
<DeathStar> <Lev> Love complicates matters.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Before he left with Si...
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...what... else did I do?"
<Luci> * Lisa sighs a bit and sits back, rubbing her eyes.
<Xanatos> <Kane> It can. It does. But perhaps for some, it is worth it.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hm, I don't remember, I kinda drank too much myself as you and I left to go do stuff back at the dormitory
<DeathStar> 6* Lev studies Necia
<DeathStar> <Lev> You seem to be very talented. Why do you let others push you around?
<DeathStar> *He says in a low voice*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *buries her face in her hands* "It is totally a blank."
<DeathStar> *Ren pats Reikana* There there, I doubt we did anything bad or life shattering back at the dormitory
<DeathStar> <Ren> Though I guess we should look around
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Kemonohime> <Necia> That's not easy to answer.
<DeathStar> Location: The Casino
<DeathStar> 6* Eve adjusts her mask, shifting a bit as they near it. The City is quite large, but the casino is hidden and made to look like something else, and it's meant to attract a certain kind of clintel
<DeathStar> 6* John looks like a bald guy with a scar on his face, and he approaches the doors, talking quietly to the bouncer. He flashes something, and somehow gets inside, waving Eve and the others in with him
<DeathStar> 6* Eve blinks, having made herself a plantinum blonde with hard blue eyes. She follows, wearing high heels and a dress
* ChadWinters` moves inside, looking like a white guy in a suit and short brown hair.
<DeathStar> <Vesta on comms> I'm up here in the mobile base, monitoring you if anything goes wrong
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus walks in with the group, a large nose and average face. His red hair and freckles being the key difference for him.
<Sara> * Kaori appears to have blonde hair too, and a gorgeous youthful face, with green eyes.
<Luci> * Tabetha looks like a pretty blonde this time around, while Reese appears to be a dark haired, dark eyed hearthrob.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash has completely changed his face, looking like an aging japanese guy. His other face is tucked safe in his subspace
<Sathen> *Orihime is in fox form and carried by somebody*
<DeathStar> 6* John and Eve step inside; once inside, it is rather huge compared to what it looks like outisde. For Chad, it has changed a lot compared to almost 50 years ago. The place has been modernized, with better gambling machines, tables, and if there is cameras and spying tech, it isn't seen. The floor is multi floored, and the servers wear revealing dresses while being classy at the same time
<DeathStar> 6* A fancy bar serves drinks, and huge bulky bodyguards stand near VIP doors, that likely lead further into the complex. Up top glass windows reveal what is likely the boss room, where they can look down at everyone
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a low whistle as he looks around.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve looks around, trying not to let it get to her. John moves over and sets down some of his infinite cash that Key can generate, getting chips for his group
<DeathStar> 6* He blinks as the dealer speaks in German, a rarely used language due to Basic. John pauses, while Vesta hurries, and translates for John, and tells him what to say
<Sara> * Kaori acts rather impressed by the interior of everything. She tries to small talk a waiter, complimenting the place
<DeathStar> 6* John moves back and hands out the chips
<Luci> * Reese takes his and smiles to himself, having long held back the use of his luck powers, the place is a temptation. Tabtha takes hers and looks about curiously.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus takes his and glances around, talking low.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> So this is just recon?
<DeathStar> <John> Becareful, they speak in German here for some reason
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I can translate if you want.
* ChadWinters` takes the chips, glancing at John and nodding, giving him a wink.
<DeathStar> 6* The waiter turns to Kaori, glancing her up and down, and answers back, speaking to her in German that's not so good, likely the staff here still training him
<Luci> * Reese nods and acknowledges in German, not perfect, but very good. Tabetha smiles and begins to wander, looking over machines as though looking for what she wants to play.
<Sara> * Kaori curtseys politely and looks for any free hors d'oeuvres.
<Sathen> *Orihime rides along in Tab's arms and peeks around at stuff as inconspicuously as possible*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances at no one answering him and huffs, moving to go play roulette.
* ChadWinters` moves over to a card table and takes a seat and starts playing
<Luci> Tabetha> <Yes it is Marcus. And no panicking, just sending you a mental relay.>
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves to blackjack
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus tenses up and looks towards Tabetha slowly, eyes wide, clearly not panicking, but maybe a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve muses, wondering what is up as she sits at the bar to get a drink, careful not to get her mask wet. John plays the machines, despite figuring they are rigged
<DeathStar> <John> <They way I get in here was basically using a technique Key taught me, and bluffing like I was member already, but lost my ID. I basically used my presence. I noticed since being married to Key it sometimes works. But I doubt it'll last long before the bouncer notices>
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus calms himself and slowly turns back to place a bet, 17 red or something however that game is played. As the wheel spins he starts to look around.
<Luci> * Reese tries a machine as well. Tabetha starts to listen to surface thhoughts, not going deep enough to be detected, but enough that she hopes to hear whispers that could prove useful. She focuses them on guards and workers.
<DeathStar> 6* As Kaori and others notice, the staff as they move by, all have a tattoo on their wrists. And some of the guests. It seems to be a circle with sun like pattern and V
<Sara> * Kaori subtly signals the others
<Luci> * Reese takes notice, quietly filing the fact away. Tabetha uses them as a signal for who to focus on listening to.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash checks to see if his dealer has one
<Sathen> *Orihime keeps looking around at things, being an innocent fox helping her avoid suspicion*
<Sara> * Kaori asks Ash how to ask if they have a high roller's suite
<kalonZombie> 6*He gives her the german phrase
<Sara> * Kaori asks, making herself seem simply curious to see more of the place
<Luci> * Tabetha passes on John's message with telepathic sends. Careful that she speaks only to each of the present team.
* ChadWinters` get's up, making a face as he loses some of his chips, tossing a tip to the dealer as he moves off to a new spot
<DeathStar> 6* The high roller answers, mentioning that only members can get back there
<DeathStar> 6* AT that moment, the group would notice a guests with the tattoos show them and step through the VIP doors
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slumps as he loses, he bets more with an intent look, leaning forward.
<Sara> * Kaori glances at the tattoo, then at the others
<DeathStar> 6* Eve gets another drink, studying it
<Luci> Tabetha> <We could get tattoos and come back?>
<Sathen> Orihime> <Want a foxy search into the back?>
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash keeps playing, but not counting cards with his literal computer brain
<Sara> <Kaori> <I guess we should see how to become members, unless we dare try to fake it.>
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus hmphs at losing again and stands to move to another table. He looks around as he moves, looking for other entrances or exits that are seperate from the vip areas.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be just the one. Even on the other floors, there is no other way in. Even as it takes him up higher to the glass windows of the office
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves away after getting a tiny win and not wanting to push his luck, moving along <I say we fake it. The tattoos are simple enough.>
<DeathStar> 6* John throws back a drink, near Eve. Eve frowns, musing
<DeathStar> <Eve> ...
<DeathStar> <Eve> <I guess it's up to Kaori...> *There's some doubt in her thoughts*
* ChadWinters` grabs a drink, leaning over a railing by Eve and John. 1<It'd be risky.>
<Sara> <Kaori> <You're assuming it doesn't contain any data, or anything -under- the tattoo... But okay, if you think you can do it. I say we take this one person at a time, though. If someone gets caught, we don't want it to be all of us, so we can help. It'd be safer to ask them about becoming a member.>
<DeathStar> <Eve> *she glances at her grandfather* <Kaori is right. It's why I have my doubts. The tattoo could be a certain color. It could have data in it. It could be a certain kind of ink>
<Xanatos> <Marcus> <For the record, I hate this mind crap. But I only see the one entrance. It's there or nothing.>
<ChadWinters`> <Odd's are they no every member that has a tattoo."
<Sara> <Kaori> <Really? They seem to be using it like an ID card or a pass.>
<Luci> Tabetha> <Could kidnap someone with the tattoo and examine it out of here?>
<DeathStar> <Eve> <Faking it could be nearly impossible without knowing what all goes into it. You'd have to cut off someone's hand and let one of us anayalze it>
<Sara> <Kaori> <Ash, be a dear and ask the person at the counter about membership?>
<DeathStar> 6* John eyes Eve slowly
<ChadWinters`> <Something this organized wouldn't give them out to just anybody without having a record of them. Eve has the right idea. We follow someone who leaves here and take their hand."
<Sathen> *Orihime squirms slightly before dropping from Tab's arms, looking around before using the tables as coverage and moving towards the door to the back*
<Luci> Tabetha> <Cutting s-seems messy... kidnap? I can make people forget things.>
<Xanatos> <Marcus> <You can't hear it in this thing buy I'm doing the long silence of dots at you Eve.>
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves over to the counter "Excuse me young person, but how does one go about getting membership? 6*He asks in somewhat broken german
<Xanatos> (but)
<DeathStar> <Eve> <If we let the guy do, then an exact duplicate might be out there that could bust us>
<DeathStar> 6* The person studies Ash over.
<Luci> Tabetha> <If we take a hand they're going to know we have it and change it.>
<kalonZombie> 6*He looks to be a perfectly innocent elderly japanese man going bald and gray
<DeathStar> <Counter Man> I am thinking you are mistaken pal. *he pats Ash* Why not enjoy the casino. *he smiles* Here, enjoy the complimentary chips
<ChadWinters`> <Not right away. IT's something we'd have to move quick on and it'd only be one person that could go in.>
<Xanatos> <Marcus> <We should probably leave. Obviously this isn't a thing where you join.>
<DeathStar> <John> <Likely they take a certain kind of person. A certain person with a rep. And an old japanese guy might not fit it>
<DeathStar> 6* John muses
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Thank you anyway, sonny <Right, not going to push it, it'll look suspicious>
<Luci> Reese> <Yeah I get the sense you get invited, you don't join. One of our leggy fraulens might have a shot though.>
<DeathStar> <Eve> <I wonder if XIII joined this group. We know she joined someone>
<DeathStar> <Eve> <I wish I could get a look to see if there is a tatoo on her now>
<Sathen> *Orihime looks around for anything beneath the tables before slinking closer to the VIP door*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses at his slot machine and glances around to see if anyone with a tattoo is still out here, if so he woudl study their features. Hair, eye color and so on.
<ChadWinters`> <It's possible. I have ways to find her>
<Sara> <Kaori> <You're welcome to try. For now, I'm going to keep an eye on the door.>
<DeathStar> <Eve> <She should still be in a cell, or at Warren's base>
<Sara> * Kaori seems to be directing that at Reese and Chad both
<Sara> * Their remarks, rather
<Luci> Reese> <I'm not a leggy blonde lady.> *he puts some of his final tokens in the slots*
<ChadWinters`> <If she didn't escape when the base was attacked."
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus would spot what appears to be a guy that looks a discreet man, not that scary looking, but he appears to be very rich. He plays the slots, as if waiting his turn, getting annoyed. A man next to him with no tattoo seems to be his German speaker to help him out
<DeathStar> 6* Ori would see nothing under the tables but people's feet
<Sara> <Kaori> <...I just meant the idea, Reese.>
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances around for another, trying to build up a bit of a profile on the types of people with marks.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> <Being german isn't a requirement at least.>
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus would see your stereotypical gangster type, in a suit, looking annoyed at the bar near Eve. He eyes her now and again, as if thinking about having his way with her
<Sara> * Kaori shakes her head and moves over next to Ash, attempting to flirt with the man at the counter, although she hides that she doesn't feel comfortable doing so.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve sips her drink, oblivious
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash shuffles off to play Craps
<Xanatos> <Marcus> <I don't like the way that guy is looking at Eve. Let me hit him.>
<Sara> <Kaori> <If only Lady Miyu were here>
<DeathStar> 6* The man at the counter peers Kaori over, nodding at her
<Sathen> *Orihime stays beneath a table* <...and just what would you be wanting my mother to do?>
<Sara> <Kaori> <I don't want to fail the stealth phase, but at this rate we may have to>
<ChadWinters`> <I think it's safe to say we found what we're looking for. It might be best to take our leave for now and come up with a plan.>
<Sara> <Kaori> <Of course, marking down the information and using it to deal with them more subtly is an option, too>
<Sara> * She notes in agreement
<Xanatos> <Marcus> <As much as I hate to agree, I think Chad is right. This is clearly a spot for those new V people.>
<DeathStar> <Man at counter> How may how I help you?
<DeathStar> *He leans forward*
<Sara> <Kaori> So, you... aren't letting any new members in right now? *she says with an attractive look but a slight pout* Not even if we have... a lot to offer your existing members?
<DeathStar> <Man at Counter> *He blinks, then seems to glance her over* Let me see your ID chip, then.
<DeathStar> <John> <Tell them you snuck in here. Take a gamble. They may like initiative. If not, we'll get you out>
<DeathStar> <John> <You can change your face to something else next time>
<DeathStar> *Eve checks the time on the masks, which have 25 more mins left*
<Sathen> *Orihime huffs to herself before popping a small foxhole to the hallway beyond the VIP door*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> <I'm going to head for the exit, at any rate we need to start evacuating.>
<Sara> <Kaori> Oh, I... didn't know one was needed. I kind of slipped in not knowing, but haven't kept any ID on me for a long time, it keeps me safe from... the authorities, you see. *she beams, making herself sound like a prostitute*
<DeathStar> 6* AT that moment, alarms go off
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances up and lets out a long sigh.
* ChadWinters` looks up, with concern on his face.
<Sara> <Kaori> Oh dear. *she looks up at the sound, acting surprised*
<DeathStar> 6* John looks up
<Luci> * Reese looks up as if clueless and Tabetha looks over from a table, and around.
<Luci> Tabetha> <It might not be us?>
<DeathStar> 6* The man at the counter frowns, and the people in the club go pale in the face
<Xanatos> <Marcus> <Did one of us do that?>
<kalonZombie> <Ash> <I don't think so...>
<DeathStar> 6* The man at the counter hits a button and the shutter doors go down
<ChadWinters`> <Things just went sideways.>
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta, who is trying to speak on the comms, is cut off as Jammers are set up
<Sara> <Kaori> Oh, dear. Is this my fault? I can leave if I must, sir.
<Luci> <Tabetha> <Something happened... who's missing from my chain?>
<Sathen> *Orihime glances about, the foxhole closing as she heads back to Tab's feet*
<DeathStar> <Man at Counter> Sorry, but right now, no one is leaving
<DeathStar> <Man at Counter> Not until whoever set that alarm off is killed
<DeathStar> 6* He shrugs helplessly
<DeathStar> -SCEEN SHIFT-
<Sara> <Kaori> <Did... someone break in by force?>
<DeathStar> Location: Desert Base
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's shuttle lands outside the base. Lev hits the ramp button and hurries down while Warren follows, popping a few more pills
<Luci> * Jennifer steps out, Angela and Lisa as well.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *walks down the ramp*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane walks down the ramp, peering about, he pulls out his datapad. Before using it he glances around for external antenna.
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na and Hale walk down
<DeathStar> 6* The base looks desserted on the outside. But a moment later, weapons begin to appear. Five large mounted gauntling guns appear
<DeathStar> 6* Lev kneels and fires his sniper rifle, huge pulse blasts firing at one
<Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around for cover quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* The other four open fire at the group. Warren dives into the sand to the side, while the shuttle takes hits, dents appearing
<DeathStar> 6* Ren steps down, only to get hit and goes flying, yipping
<Luci> * Angela groans and forms armor and sword, firing a Holy Blast at one as she ducks for cover.
<Luci> * Lisa throws up a shield to protect herself and the shuttle.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks to dive out of the way, kicking up sand, he makes a face a ssome gets in his mouth.
<Luci> * Jennifer ducks for cover and draws her gun, grumbling.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale pulls out his auto and fires a grenade into one, moving into cover
<DeathStar> 6* Lev takes aim at a second one, charging up and firing, as another blows up
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na slides for cover, useless here since she's mainly melee
<Luci> * Angela takes a better shot for one, firing another Holy Blast at it.
<DeathStar> 6* Lev fires again, taking it out, leaving only one, which keeps hitting the shuttle
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Eeeee!" *ducks and takes cover*
<DeathStar> 6* The last one blows up
<Luci> * Lisa keeps blocking it's shots with her shield.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane stands up and spits some sand out of his mouth, grumbling.
<Luci> * Lisa lets the shield go and pants, sighing.
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Hell of a welcome
<DeathStar> 6* Ren sits up, woozing and bleeding, while Warren trudges toward the base. Lev hurries over and blasts at the door, overheating it and blowing it up
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *scurries over to Ren* "Ren!"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm okay. Just need a few
<DeathStar> 6* Inside, Warren can hear a self destruct sequence already in play
<DeathStar> <Warren> They plan to blow the evidence. Come on
<Xanatos> 6* Kane follows along and starts running subroutines to get access to the base systems.
<Luci> * Jennifer and Sera's others move along quickly.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale and Mi'Na walk in, Hale reloading his grenade
<DeathStar> 6* Kane would see most of the base is offline and parts are long rotted away, but a straight course to the elevator would lead to the labs. Warren runs along, with Lev following,. Ren sits by the shuttles
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale and Mi'Na follow Warren
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I... I need to go help the others." *runs off after Warren*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Good luck!
<Xanatos> <Kane> Not much I can do to stop the self destruct, but that Elevator may take us to where we need to go. 6* He moves quickly, does the self destruct say how long?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren enters the elevator; the self-destruct is at 2 minutes. He bashes on the lab button
<DeathStar> 6* Lev peers around, scanning the area as he steps in
<Luci> * Sera's people get in.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane steps in and frowns.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I hate explosives.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> 8climbs in*
<Luci> * Lisa grumbles. "If we don't stop it, I can't promise my Aegis ability will fully protect us from the blast. Too many people."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren wipes sweat off his forehead, holding his head, looking like he's whiting out and dizzy. The doors begin to close as the last of the people get on, including Reikana. As it rides down, minor explosion rock the elevator
<kalonZombie> <Hale> You're probably gonna hate this team then
<Luci> * Jennifer frowns and lays a hand on him, using her spirit healing to try and help stabilize her father for now.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Aegis?
<Luci> Lisa> "My ultimate shield. It's stopped a cruiser's main cannon before."
<DeathStar> 6* It takes 30 seconds to reach the bottom, and Warren steps off; Lev sweeps the area and they reach the lab, where scientists are scooping up body parts of a naked Spade. His head seems to be what they are grabbing right now; they see the group and flee. Leaving behind half a rotting hand, a pelvis, and what remains of a leg, since they have been using his body to make weapons
<DeathStar> 6* Lev kneels, trying to take aim as they rush down the hallway
<Xanatos> 6* Kane steps forward and fire a few stunning shots for their backs.
<Luci> * Angela raises her sword and takes pot shots at the retreating scientists.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *transforms into Noire*
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale fires at their legs
<DeathStar> 6* The scientiests cry out and land on the head, crushing it, since it's a goopy mess
<Luci> * Lisa forms a shield wall at the scientist's exit.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "No you do not get to run!" *uses Dark Matter to try to trap the scientists*
<DeathStar> <Scientist> N-nooooo!
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na rushes in
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps forward, then jerks at what is floating in two tanks
<DeathStar> <Warren> Son of a whore
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hm. That seems very unfortunate for them. We should gather what's left and retreat.
<DeathStar> 6* Lev eyes the tanks
<Luci> * Jennifer peers over, still working her spirit healing on him.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses at that, glancing from Warren then looks to the tanks.
<Luci> * Angela looks over at the exclamation.
<DeathStar> 6* In the tanks are two five year olds. A five year old boy that looks a bit like Spade, and a five year old girl that looks a bit like Spade
<DeathStar> <Warren> They cloned him
<Jackieness> <Noire> "ooooo... creepy."
<DeathStar> <Lev> ...
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Okaaaaaaaay... so do we take them or?
<Xanatos> <Kane> I believe I said that was likely. It's a shame that I was correct.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Of course we take them, they're children.
<Luci> Angela> "Wh-Why is one a girl?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the remains of gooped head
<Xanatos> 6* Kane quickly moves to gather up the other spade bits.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Take them and have mini Spades?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the capsule releases
<Luci> Lisa> "This is... overwhelmingly creepy."
<DeathStar> 6* The countdown hits 1 minute
<Xanatos> <Kane> Is it the correct thing to do, morally.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hmmm... tick-tock, ladies and germs."
<Xanatos> (It is)
<DeathStar> 6* Lev responds, hitting the capsule for the girl
<Jackieness> <Noire> "See, its always the girl."
<DeathStar> 6* It drains and he grabs her, throwing her naked body over his shoulder
<DeathStar> <Lev> The girl is less likely to be as aggressive
<DeathStar> 6* Lev marches for the elevator
<DeathStar> <Warren> I seriously doubt that
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Sure, he says that now...."
<Xanatos> <Kane> You clearly haven't met any of the women we work with.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Woman scorned, dearie."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren aims at the boy's tank, charging his gun
<Luci> Jennifer> *frowns*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane makes a face at the remains and then eyes Warren.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *He fires into it if no one knocks his gun away*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls his pistol up to shoot and deflect the shot, if possible, it's all he can do to stop it.
<DeathStar> <Warren> .... Fine. The kid is your responsibilityu
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves on
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale shrugs at Warren, following him
<DeathStar> 6* He seems to be more and more sluggish
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> If anything Hi'Saa'll probably adopt them
<Xanatos> 6* Kane hands the other parts to Hale and moves to get the boy, carrying him to the elevator.
<kalonZombie> 6*She moves, Hale helping Warren along
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I cna have my dark beasts eat them if they misbehave anyway." *steps on to the elevator*
<Luci> * Angela wordlessly turns and moves to go. Lisa scoops up parts with a shield and puts them in a container for Myria, heading after.
<DeathStar> 6* As they reach it, there's only 40 seconds left. Warren hits the button to go up, and it shakes and jerks all the way up, the explosions getting louder. As it dings, 10 seconds remain
<Luci> * Jennifer just focuses on the spirit healing, moving with him.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Quickly now. 6* He runs for the exit.
<DeathStar> 6* Lev rushes ahead, getting out in 5, being a Weapon
<DeathStar> 6* Warren jogs
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale and Mi'Na run for the shuttle, Hale helping Warren along
<kalonZombie> <Hale> NECIA GET THE DAMN SHUTTLE STARTED
<DeathStar> 6* They reach the exit, the explosion knocking them out and flinging them out into the sand
<Luci> * Lisa schools Hale and Warren up ina sheild and zips them out.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves to gert out with the others*
<Luci> * Angela rolls with the blast and grunts as she lands.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Weeeeeeee!"
<Xanatos> 6* Kane does his best to shield the boy, rolling along.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lays there in the shield, unconscious, his breathing labored, as if dying
<DeathStar> 6* Lev lays the girl down in the shuttle, peering back
<Jackieness> <Noire> *lands and flips back on to her feet* "Style!"
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na tries to roll with the landing, but twists her ankle the wrong way
<Luci> * LIsa frowns and carries him onto the shuttle like that as a stretches, putting him on a medical bed. Jennifer frowns and works on him.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> FUCK
<Luci> * Angela helps Mi'Na up and after the others, healing her.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *strides up into the shuttle*
<Luci> Jennifer> "Not now Dad... not yet..."
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na limps until her wound is healed
<Xanatos> 6* Kane steps up into the shuttle and sits down, watching Jennifer with Warren.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hale moves over to Warren, looking to Jennifer "Keep your head clear. What do we do?
<Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to place the boy in the seat beside him, buckling him up. For safety.
<Luci> * Jennifer takes a breath and uses spirit energy to stabilize him, then begins to work. "His WBC is almost nill. He needs something to sustain him."
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer would see his pill bottle isn't pain pills oddly, but something from Vodka
<DeathStar> 6* Prescribed a month ago
<Luci> * Jennifer looks over the bottle.
<Luci> Jennifer> "What the..."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren coughs, sitting up. IT seems to be something for his brain
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lets go
<Kemonohime> * Necia puts a finger to his head, lying him down.
* Stretch`cell has joined #TAW-Session31
<Luci> Jennifer> "...Is this how you've kept going this long...?"
<kalonZombie> <Hale> Focus, Jennifer. What can we use here and now to help?
<Kemonohime> <Necia> We are. Sit still.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Fine. But we need to go before reinforcements come
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Casino
<DeathStar> 6* The VIP doors open, and a cyborg like Cassandra walk out. If she were here, she would realize they are like her and Adam, only enhanced. He glances around
<DeathStar> 6* Many of the guests with mark glance down, as if knowing who he is
<ChadWinters`> <We need to find a patsy>
<Sara> * Kaori catches on and bows her head as if in respect
<DeathStar> 6* The handsome cyborg peers about, calmly, in a suit
<Sathen> *Orihime is settled in at Tab's feet, peering around like a regular pet at the commotion*
<DeathStar> <Cyborg> I detected a spiritual energy source trying to get into the VIP rooms without passing the proper channels
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus just sits down and crosses his arms, peering around and everyone suspiciously.
<DeathStar> <Cyborg> I believe we might have spies. I hope you all will not mind if I scan each of you personally. <Patron> O-Of course not, Mister Cain
<Sara> * Kaori seems calm
<Luci> * Tabetha keeps up being the oblivious blonde. She gently urges Orihime to go hide. Reese keeps calm.
<kalonZombie> 6*As does Ash, all his suspicious stuff in subspace
<DeathStar> 6* Cain walks along, and seems to scan everyone, going from person to person, scanning them
<Xanatos> <Marcus> <You realize his scan will probably go through our tech, right?>
<DeathStar> 6* Eve muses, and reaches into her pocket, grabbing something she borrowed of Miyuki's once and throws it into some the guy's pocket that was learing at her
<DeathStar> 6* She then settles on the other side of him
<Sathen> *Orihime slinks under a nearby table and puffs a bit of her spirit energy towards the feet of an unsuspecting guy that 'Cain' hasn't gotten to yet*
<Sara> <Kaori> <You assume that's what he's scanning for.>
<DeathStar> 6* The cyborg turns, toward Orihime, as if locking onto her
<DeathStar> <Cain> Hm
<DeathStar> 6* He moves toward Tabetha
<DeathStar> 6* Then turns casually in Orihime's direction
<DeathStar> 6* Scanning people as he does
<Sathen> *Orihime keeps moving under the tables to avoid detection, away from the guy she just painted with the energy*
<DeathStar> 6* He pauses by Orihime, then grabs onto her table, and begins to wrench it off the ground
<ChadWinters`> <Eve, activate it.>
<DeathStar> 6* Eve does so, and Cain pauses, peering at the bar
<Sathen> *Orihime hides beneath the table and stays out of sight*
<DeathStar> 6* Cain turns and looks at the bar, moving over slowly and grabs the guy. The guy protests
<DeathStar> <Man> B-Boss, you know I'm loyal!
<DeathStar> <Cain> Do I? You have spiritual energy all over. We'll talk, Balroc. And see.
<DeathStar> 6* Cain lifts him by one hand and moves off
<DeathStar> <Cain> Timothy, send the rest of them out
<DeathStar> 6* The casino is forced to empty
* ChadWinters` moves out without protest.
<Sara> <Kaori> Good luck with everything. *she smiles*
<DeathStar> <Man at Counter> Come back and try in a week or so
<Luci> * Reese and Tabetha make their way out.
<Sara> <Kaori> Okay. Thank you!
<Sathen> *Orihime makes her way back to follow after them innocently enough*
<Sara> * Kaori moves toward the exit with the leaving crowd, blending
<DeathStar> <Man at Counter> Things will have calmed down. You can get an ID chip too *He writes an addresS*
<DeathStar> *and slips it to Kaori before she goes*
<Sara> * Kaori takes the note happily
<Sara> (Or appearing happy, anyway)
<DeathStar> 6* As they step out, Vesta's comm works again
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Are you all okay?!
<DeathStar> 6* Eve eyes the timer on their masks are almost gone
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps out after a bit and just lets out a sigh, patting his pockets like he's broke.
<Luci> Tabetha> "Yes. We're heading back."
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Oh thank god
<Sara> <Kaori> *comm* We gathered information, though we didn't get in.
<DeathStar> <Eve> We also have something to tell Cassandra when we get up there *she whispers into the ear piece
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Well, there's always next time
* ChadWinters` waits til they're get a fair amount away. 1"We'll explain when we get back. 6He eyes Kaori

<Sathen> *Orihime mrr's to herself* <Atleast we know a bit about their defenses>
<DeathStar> Location: Underground Base
<DeathStar> 6* Vodka stands at the medical bay room, while Warren is resting in his room. She has the twins, both asleep, on her table
<DeathStar> <Vodka> Da, your father came to me about a month ago
<DeathStar> <Vodka> His brain tumors were getting to the point where he was in constant pain
<Luci> * Jennifer nods. And puts up her latest scans of his head.
<Xanatos> <Kane> He's had those for a long time, yes? Or am I misremembering?
<Kemonohime> * Necia isn't present for the twins... creeping up on Warren's room
<DeathStar> 6* Vodka nods, pointing. "As you can see, he should not be alive."
<Luci> Jennifer> "He's practically more tumor then brain t this point... I think it's genetic."
<DeathStar> <Vodka> You are correct, Kane. He went to a place where the progression stopped but returned to help due to the shadow tgovernmernt."
<DeathStar> <Vodka> The pills I gave him are my special blend. Basically, when your father came to me a month ago, he had 90 days to live
<Luci> Jennifer> "I've been looking for a way to treat him... to cure it. But I've only come up with drastic measures."
<DeathStar> <Vodka> Give or take
<Xanatos> <Kane> Ah. I see. Perhaps we should put him back.
<DeathStar> <Vodka> That cannot happen. The multiverse is gone
<Luci> * Jen nods, closing her eyes.
<Luci> Jen> "He won't go."
<Xanatos> <Kane> Ah, I see.
<DeathStar> 6* Vodka motions at the scans
<Luci> Jennifer> "NOt while there's still work to do."
<Xanatos> 6* Kane muses to himself
<DeathStar> <Vodka> A month has passed since he came to me
<Luci> Jennifer> "And he's progressing worse and worse."
<DeathStar> <Vodka> I am assuming he split up the team and did everything he did because he wants to do what he can in his remaining 90 days
<Kemonohime> * Necia puts her finger to Warren's door to open it, creeping in
<DeathStar> <Vodka> Well, 60
<Luci> Jennifer> "I can't help but feel if he was still bonded to a Dragoon, this wouldn't be happening."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren seems to be coughing up blood into a bucket, and wiping his mouth
<DeathStar> <Vodka> A dragoon bond would just delay the ineveitable by days at this point
<Kemonohime> * Necia stands there for a moment, skiddish, or turned off at the sight, wincing and looking timid, then exhales slowly, her two different colored eyes both glowering a moment in the dark. "... Warren."
<Luci> Jennifer> "There has to be something."
<DeathStar> <Vodka> Your father has cheated death by 30 years
<Xanatos> <Kane> It has been a very long time, indeed.
<DeathStar> <Vodka> Well, more than that. When he learned his old self died the same way
* Luci shivers. "I can't have come this far and still not have found an answer..."
<DeathStar> <Vodka> He somehow found a way to last longer
<Luci> * Jennifer
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes, Necia?
<Kemonohime> <Necia> We need to talk.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits up, as if everything isfine
<DeathStar> <Warren> Very well.
<DeathStar> -END-
