<DeathStar> Date/Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> 6* Tora and Sen float in a void of white. Pieces of the asteroid and Centerpoint surround them, remnants of the battle of Centerpoint. The two should be dead, floating in this void with no oxygen, no anything. However, as Tora and Sen's hand hold each other, having reached out as they entered the black hole, the many, many, many remnants, all shattered into trillions of pieces, some as large as skyscrapers, since Centerpoint was once the size of a planet, begin to glow around them.
<DeathStar> 6* Slowly, bit by bit, something begins to form in the voidless world about then
<DeathStar> Date: 10-636.10.2
<DeathStar> Location: PAX City
* Chad`Winters is now known as ChadWinters`
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga jerks up out of her bed, covered in sweat, taking long, hard breaths, looking like she was having a nightmare, rubbing her face
<DeathStar> 6* She rubs her face a few times, then reaches over and grabs a datapad tablet, an updated version of the datapad and begins to jot down stuff
<Kemonohime> <Ouka> Again?" She murmurs, not facing her or moving.
<DeathStar> 6* Finally, tossing it aside, she rises, naked as she moves to peer out her window, then checks her messages, eyeing one from Warren, asking to meet with him and Chad later
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Yeah. Though this one was ... strange. I felt cold. All over.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *she flexes her hand open and closed* Anyway, I got a few new ideas for the game
<Kemonohime> * Ouka sits up slowly, opening one eye and peering at her.
<Kemonohime> <Ouka> You have a strange source of 'inspiration.'
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Thank you. *she sticks out her tongue, rubbing her head as the scene of the void comes back to her a moment* Anyway, I want to check on a few things. I might go to mom's today at Mega City. See what is up
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Warren is sniffing about with his investigations. Probably still on the trail of Death's rampage
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets just hope all of them aren't in trouble.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Siberian State
<DeathStar> 6* Warren holds up in a hidden house, with binoculars on his eyes, habing a mixture of the three units preparing to meet with a mixture of thugs, gangsters, and black market dealers, hoping to get a lead on the mysterious forces that might be behind killing Darien through taking over Aya's mind using Spade's ability.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren talks into his comm unit, with Vesta wearing a huge coat, standing in the snow as she approaches them
<DeathStar> <Warren> Remember, do nothing to alert them to who you are.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin looks about with a fake moustache and an eyepatch.
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta mutters under her breath. "Oh, sure. We'll do fine. Undercover is our forte."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lowers the binoculars, popping a pill and mumbling about doom and gloom
* ChadWinters` slides 5 credits on the table besides Warren. 1"Bet it goes sideways."
<DeathStar> 6* A huge van drives up to the meeting sight. Vesta watches as 10 men in black suits and glasses begin to get out
<DeathStar> <Warren> *eyes Chad*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin scratches at the moustache, making a face. He then adjusts his super cool leather jacket, though it's so cold that he has a sweatshirt on under it.
<Luci> * Angelos is standing by with Warren, since getting in quick is more his speciality and his face is too easy to be recognized.
<Stretch> *Orihime curls up beside a box in the snow, almost seeming to blend in with the white due to being a white fox currently*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Whoever is stringing along into the underworld isn't known by either of us, so the best place is to try to learn things.
<Luci> * Reese is with Vesta, being a nobody and able to do undercover well enough.
<DeathStar> 6* The Russian gangsters move up, sizing Vesta. "You look young." 6* One says in Basic.
<Kemonohime> * Hope stands around in an outfit worthy of Black Widow, but wearing a parka-fur coat over it, looking annoyed. Kiseki couldn't go, being an internet celeb.
<DeathStar> <Vesta> And you look stupid. *She spreads her arms* We are even, yes?
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash stands as backup someplace in case things go south, able to teleport in quickly
<Kemonohime> <Hope> It's not a business many live long in, anyway." She sneers at him.
<Luci> * Si stands in a heavy coat, a hat covering her ears up too.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin snorts a laugh.
<DeathStar> 6* The Russian looks even more annoyed. "Do you have the credits?"
<Luci> * Reese stands as an enforcer, holding a case.
<DeathStar> <Vesta> *She waves at Kellin to show the suitcase* Do you have the weapons we asked about?
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin moves to Reese and holds out a hand for the case, turning to flash the credits once it's handed over.
<Luci> * Reese hands it over, being all stoic.
<DeathStar> 6* The Russian motions and a bulky case is set down on a frozen tree trunk, opening it to reveal inside what looks like psionic type drugs, as well as equipment.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin closes the case and looks to Sasha for confirmation.
* ChadWinters` peers in to his binocs and watches, clicking his tongue as it opens
<Luci> * Angelos frowns slightly. "Whole mess of shit in that case." *he says quietly even though they're at a distance*
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Like what? 6*He asks quietly
<DeathStar> <Russian> Now Sigeri asks himself, why would group ask for this? When it is just on market. *Vesta takes a look, verifying it.* <Sigeri> I mean, you are all hardened criminals. But never heard of you doing jobs before, asked around. *Vesta holds her poker face, knowing Necia did her job well, but not counting on them asking around*
<DeathStar> <Sigeri> So after asking around, doing so digging deeper, learned that high ranking General recently died. Had a little granddaughter with red hair.
<Kemonohime> <Hope> If we wanted people to know, they would. There are some things you can only do when people don't see you coming or going.
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta tenses, reaching into her coat subtly.
<Luci> * Angelos grunts. "They might have been fingered."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *Turns and talks into another comm*
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Our business is done, is it not? You, in this line of work, should know better to go digging beyond what's necessary. Do you really want to unearth something you're better not knowing and doesn't involve you?
<DeathStar> <Sigeri> I am thinking you might be this granddaughter. Come looking for someone in Sigeri's organization who made this equipment. *he motions at his men, who pull out their weapons*
<Kemonohime> * Hope eyes up him with a warning tone.
<Luci> Reese> "My hair's red but I'm not pretty enough to be someone's daughter."
<DeathStar> <Sigeri> You bark loud, little girl. If you want this equipment and to leave alive, double money. Or kill and take money. And goods.
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Is that so?
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin lets out a laugh.
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Ugh, is this worth more money?" She eyes the two.
<Kemonohime> <Hope> He's asking us to kill him and I just did my nails.
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta peers at Kellin calmly
<Luci> Si> "Maybe we should give him half and let him walk away now."
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Since when did repeat business become worthless.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> You make the call. 6* He notes to Vesta, tensed up with a smirk on his face.
* ChadWinters` rubs his face, tapping his ear.
<Kemonohime> * Hope nods to Vesta.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It'd be better to let them leave alive, but I want to look at that equipment
<ChadWinters`> Agreed. They're worth more alive.
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta shrugs at Serigi, then she suddenly she shoves her arm forward, and Serigi gurgles his own blood out and drops forward, dead
<DeathStar> <Vesta> *She eyes the guns aimed at her, his men staring in disbelief, as she grins wildly, looking a bit unbalanced
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I could teleport in and grab it when they're not looking 6*He says into the comms quietly
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Any of you fucks want to try my hand now?
<Luci> * Si lets the ground around her feet turn dark and fire leap along the ground in a circle.
<DeathStar> <Vesta> We agreed on a fucking price.
<DeathStar> <Vesta> And you're going to take it.
<Kemonohime> * Hope brings her hands out, forming a plasma blade in one hand, a small hand blaster in the other, but remains vigilant as Vesta fronts.
<Kemonohime> <Hope> You shits don't need to know who we are, we already finished our business and we're not interested in you. Get lost.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I suggest you take the money and run! 6* He wiggles the case.
<DeathStar> 6* The men eye their dead boss, then Vesta, looking ready to spit. She holds what looks to be his heart, dropping it. Finally one grabs it and begins to move off.
<Luci> * Reese sighs and shakes his head. "Really? We're giving them the money after this?"
<DeathStar> 6* Getting back into their van
<Luci> Reese> "Intelligent."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *speaks into his comm with the other person* If anyone tries to follow them, shoot their tires, or engines, Peskov.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Bye bye! 6* *He moves over to check out the case of equipment.
* Jackieness has joined #AnniversarySession19
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta nods to Kellin, moving back for their own shuttle
<Luci> * Reese stands still as the others turn, watching their backs.
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Glad you did it... I really did just finish my nails ;w;
<Luci> * Si sighs and lets the flames die away, then follows.
<Kemonohime> * Hope follows Vesta
<DeathStar> 6* Warren tosses down the comm and takes Chad's 5 credits, moving to get into their own shuttle
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin whistles and begins carrying the case back to the shuttle, hunched over looking like it's too heavy for him.
<Luci> * Michelle lets out a sigh from her perch in the distance and closes up her longbow, moving to join the others.
* ChadWinters` clicks his tongue as he moves after Warren
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lets go. Before they get the guts to try something. Peskov can only back up us up so long
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Don't worry. I got it.
<Luci> * Angelos follows Warren.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash follows as well
<DeathStar> Location: Underground Base
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta shakes off her wet coat, while Warren muses over the equipment, studying it. He glances over a symbol on it, eyeing a circle pattern like a sun, with a small roman numberal like V in it.
* ChadWinters` sends a picture of it to his people. 1"Interesting."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *he then turns over the psionic like material* We'll need to get Erevis or someone to look it over. Figure out how this relates to Spade. but this is fancy.
<Luci> * Angelos peers over it curiously as well.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> What's that? 6* He points to the symbol.
<ChadWinters`> Something like this requires a lot of resources to make.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I don't know. Maybe the bad guy's symbol.
<Luci> Angelos> "We do have a resident telepath. Or are we still keeping her as far away from the Spade thing as possible?"
<DeathStar> 6* He points at how it's on every piece
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Bad guys. Always got symbols.
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta leans back. Standing about, is a young man with black hair, checking a sniper rifle. He has snow on him, clearly being there at the mission
<ChadWinters`> Calling card, name. I'll start cross-referencing it, see if anything pops up
<Luci> Angelos> "Well it's not Hermes, we used a wing pattern. The V suggests possibly a remnant of the old organisation though."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Who's that? 6* He thumbs at the black hair sniper guy
<Luci> Angelos> "...Try Icarus."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> What's a Hermes?
<DeathStar> <Warren> A new hire. A new generation Weapon
<Luci> Angelos> "Mmm? Oh, my evil organization that tried to take over the world."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> HI. 6* He waves to the sniper guy.
<Luci> Angelos> "Cran left it as a backup in case he failed."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren motions at Angelos, shaking his hand as if to just accept Angelos and his delusions
<Luci> * Reese inspects the other sniper with interest.
<Luci> * Angelos eyes Warren quietly.
<ChadWinters`> You're thinking of VI, I believe.
<Luci> Angelos> "Yes, I am. Just removing the "Intelligence" off of the "Venerator's Intelligence" is a bit lazy, but you never know."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sends the equipmentto the science lab for now
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga walks down the stairs
* ChadWinters` grunts and scratches the back of his neck.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You wanted to see me?
* ChadWinters` looks over at Taiga.
<Luci> Angelos> "And frankly, our villains have had some bad habits when it comes to their covert names."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes, I wanted to go over base with you on a few things.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I dunno what any of ya'll are talking about. I've just been boredon the PAX.
<Xanatos> (Bored)
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Bored? It's always weird and awesome there.
<Luci> * Angelos eyes Taiga, then Warren and Chad. He sighs a bit.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Eh. I like variety.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the others, then moves to the conference room
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga pauses, then puts up her ands, moving to follow
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash follows
* ChadWinters` moves off with Warren and Taiga
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin whistles, sticking his foot out to trip Chad.
<Luci> * Tabetha sits in the science lab going over checks on Myria's latest experimentation.
* ChadWinters` trips slightly and catches himself, giving Kelling a look as he moves on after
<DeathStar> <Warren> I wanted to check base with you after the incident. *He begins, having on screen her game she's been building. Making it look like he's been playing it* How did you come about making games?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> GOTCHA OLD MAN!
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin fists pumps.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You brought me here to talk about my computer/video game? Huh. Alright.
<Luci> * Angelos gives Kellin a slight smile. Ruffles his hair, then heads off.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin lets out a huff and takes a good minute to fix his hair back just right.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I kind of just get inspired by ideas while I sleep. The world just comes to me and I build upon it.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *looms over the equipment as it arrives at the science lab*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You know, inspiration hits you when you least expect it.
<Luci> * Reese sighs and pulls out cigarettes, putting one in his mouth.
* ChadWinters` gives Warren a look then at Taiga. 1"Any idea what's triggering it?
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Tabetha! We have been called to do stuff!"
<Jackieness> <Myria> "...but not just any old stuff... we have been called to do... SCIENCE!"
<Luci> Tabetha> "Mmm? Shinies?" *she moves over to look, then gets a foul look when she sees the contents*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *Shrugs* No, not really. *she shakes her head* I've been meaning to talk to Kitty since she's been over there, but haven't had time
<Luci> Tabetha> "There's psionic drugs in here."
<ChadWinters`> So it's been random. Hmmm
<DeathStar> 6* To Tabetha, it would just look like psionic tools, equipment, etc.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin looks around at people scattering and lets out a sigh, falling over bored again.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "We are clearly ment to study these, else they would not have come here."
<Luci> * Tabetha looks over the tools and such, tilting her head. "Well... at least I can test these... I think."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I see. That's mostly what I wanted to know.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Since some of your game matched the people who came over here. That cannot be a coincidence.
<Luci> Tabetha> "Let's science out what they're supposed to do then run some field tests. I can cover both telepathic and telekenetic functionality... must be why they sent it over."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I don't know how to explain that
<ChadWinters`> How frequently has it been happening?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Mostly ever night. *she shrugs*
<Luci> * Tabetha peers them over. "For that matter, precognative stuff... but I've never seen gear for that."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I guess I'm an inspired person
<ChadWinters`> And you've been putting everything you dream about in your game?
<Jackieness> <Myria> "We should also see if we can identify their origins."
<Luci> Reese> "You're really short on attention span, eh?" *he peers down at Kellin*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, not everything. It has to be fun
<ChadWinters`> Do you still remember the stuff you haven't been putting in the game?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Little bit!
<Luci> * Tabetha nods a bit, floating one up in the air to peer it over.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I suppose so.
<Luci> Reese> "Shooting range?"
<ChadWinters`> If I asked you to write down everything you remember and then keep a journal on everything you dream about, would that be asking to much?
<Jackieness> <Myria> *goes to get her examination equipment running*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I suppose I can. Though last night's dream was a bit different. It felt... finality to it. It's hard to describe. I felt like I was freezing to death while I dreamed.
<DeathStar> *She shrugged helplessly*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Ehhh, I can shoot good enough.
<ChadWinters`> Could you go in to more detail?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I can't. Sorry.
<Luci> Reese> "So? When is firing a high powered rifle NOT fun?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Instead of dreaming about the world, it was just that
<Xanatos> <Kellin> When you've done it like a billion times! 6* He pauses and sits up.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> You got something stronger?
<Luci> Tabetha> "Brands or serials on these maybe?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> *he taps a cane he's been using the last week or so* I want to take a trip around, Chad. Taiga, while we do that, I want you to write down what you haven't included in your dreams
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns, moving forward
<DeathStar> <Warren> I want us to check out a few locations.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Peskov, come with us. We might need your gun
<Luci> Reese> "Yes. Railguns."
<DeathStar> 6* Peskov, cleaning and checking his gun, peers up
<Luci> Reese> "And I think we have a couple of bazookas."
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin jumps and gives a thumbs up.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Let's go!
<ChadWinters`> Thanks Taiga. 6He nods to Chad, adjusting his belt.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga follows
<DeathStar> <Warren> I know in your spare time, you and Ren have been working to find a way to travel to the other side. I am most curious in this myself
<Luci> * Reese grins and nods. "This way to my favorite room." *he leads the way to the test firing range where stuff the science lab puts together is tested*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date/Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> 6* Tora and Sen soon awaken, finding themselves on a dead world, with an unknown system about them. The two have remnants of the Centerpoint about them, but not as much as should be there. At first, they are alone. It is just them. Months go by as they make a life about them, and Tora dreams nightly about the world they left behind. And she misses the people they had to leave behind
<DeathStar> 6* Then one night, people fleeing the Homeworld in reality show up on Kumen, fleeing. And Tora begins to formulate a plan
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Strikers Station
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps off the shuttle, glancing over the station, with the low lighting and low power
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Are you hoping to check out the bodies of the young ones who crossed over?
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga slowly raises the temp on the station as they step off. Peskov peers about, worriedly, as they move forward. Warren muses, tapping his cane as they walk down the hallway
<DeathStar> <Warren> Maybe.
* ChadWinters` steps off with them.
<DeathStar> 6* As they reach the chamber room, Warren flips on the lights and leans over to peer into the chamber. Of course, Yuki's chamber is empty, due to her erasing her body. But now all the chambers are empty.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga jerks, blinking, leaning over to wipe frost off of them
<DeathStar> <Taiga> What?
<Luci> * Si frowns, peering them over quietly.
<ChadWinters`> Hmmm. 6He rubs the side of his face as he wipes another one clean.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Interesting.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren muses.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> So where are they?
<DeathStar> <Warren> *He turns, talking over Si's head since she won't remember* I know Yuki erased her self to save that Aqua ship
<ChadWinters`> Odd indeed. 6He taps a console to bring up the units data
<DeathStar> <Warren> I wonder if that act erased all of them
<Luci> Si'Chii> "But... Gor..."
<ChadWinters`> Possible. 6He looks to see when they stopped monitoring life inside them
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be during the missing week
<Luci> * Si stares at Gor's empty pod.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga seems a bit upset
<kalonZombie> <Ash> So those couple of days we don't remember they suddenly vanish
<ChadWinters`> Yes.
<Luci> * Si stares more, the air around her getting warmer.
<DeathStar> <Warren> This might suit our purposes in the long run. If we can figure out based on sensors and other signatures in this station. it might help us cross over
<DeathStar> <Warren> Assuming certain rabbits do not bring the station down
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Si...
<Luci> * Si takes a breath and calms herself slowly. "He's alive. I"m going to assume he's alive somehow. Okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves over to the station, inserting a datapad to download information
* ChadWinters` brings up the security feed and starts watching it in fast forward
<DeathStar> 6* Since the station could not have been brought down to the time reverse, it's like the moment they all entered, they vanished. Months ago
<DeathStar> *due
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fascinating how time works
<DeathStar> 6* Warren taps a few buttons.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Unless something happened recently that affected them long ago, this is the most logical explanation
<ChadWinters`> Hmmm. 6He eyes the feed.
<Luci> Si> "So... it's some kinda... timeline stuff again?"
<DeathStar> 6* There's a burst of data strings
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga leans against.
* ChadWinters` pauses it. 1"What was that?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren peers and eyes the data
<DeathStar> <Warren> Some kind of data signature. I've seen it before
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns stiffly
* SaraLappy has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Luci> Si> *frowns and stares at it*
<ChadWinters`> Where? 6He peers at Warren.
<Luci> Si> "...I don't have his... skills in this. That's code right?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's the computer intrepreting it as code, yes. But since I'm anal, whenever we do missions, I always glance at the computer if I can
<DeathStar> <Warren> Even if you all go to space, I look at the computer sensors
<DeathStar> <Warren> I've seen this before once or twice
<Luci> Si> "Where? When?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren brings his datapad up.
<DeathStar> <Warren> When two morons opened a box
<ChadWinters`> Dias and Marcus.
<Luci> Si> "Dias and Marcus?"
<Luci> Si> "...Sorry, that's who my mom means whenever she's talked about those two recently. She says, "The two morons"."
<Luci> Si> "Apparently they're the stuff of legend for that." *she rubs the back of her head*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Which must mean that box has something to do with reality. Or this mirror universe
<DeathStar> <Warren> But that was so long ago
<DeathStar> <Warren> *contacts Cassandra*
<ChadWinters`> A host of problems more like it. 6He looks at Warren. 1"We'll have to compare the data if you still have it."
<DeathStar> <Warren> In some computer I do.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *comm* "Arakawa here."
<ChadWinters`> That box supposedly carried everything from the original Prime reality though, I thought
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hunt down Marcus where ever he's sulking at, and get me Dias
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Giftwrapped or silver platter?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Either works. *clicks off* I find that hard to believe. It must have been a lie. Because afterwards, what all began to appear
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves back to the shuttle
<Luci> Si> "...You two know a lot more about what we can't remember then the rest of us do, I take it?"
<Luci> * Si follows.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga walks behind Si
<DeathStar> <Taiga> They know more than any men alive it seems
* ChadWinters` moves in stride with Warren. 1"It's feasible. Odd, but feasibly."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash follows, his head metaphorically spinning
<DeathStar> <Warren> I mean, ghosts appeared, kitsune appeared, gods appeared
<DeathStar> <Warren> Don't get me started on gods.
<Luci> Si> "Thor's kind of a douchebag."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren points at his eyes, then back
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Susano is a dick.
<DeathStar> <Warren> The fact remains, these false gods appeared from legends. It's like the box made legends real.
<DeathStar> 6* Peskov leans back
<Luci> * Si blinks. "You... You're talking a reality rewrite."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> ...Careful who you say "false gods" around 6*Indicating to Si, since most gitari are pretty religious
<ChadWinters`> It would make sense if it was a gateway to other realities.
<Luci> Si> "You mean that this code thing appears when some major change occured in reality."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Of course. Ask Cheryl herself, who was technically god powered. She could have erased the gods if she was so inclined to start a war
<DeathStar> <Warren> There was Point A, then Point B
<DeathStar> <Warren> I remember a time before they showed, even if they don't
<Luci> Si> "I was born way after that... but... I think I spent enough time around Taiga to get used to the concept."
<DeathStar> <Warren> It may be, that box was thrown back in time
<Luci> * Si weakly smiles at her cousin.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren muses, trying to recall when he saw the other blips
<Luci> * Si frowns and thinks of something, trying to feel if the "dormant" bond to Gor is still intact.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Now that there is only the mirror universe, what can it mean. We know time flows differently. And from what Shade and the others said, there are no gods there.
<ChadWinters`> What if it's a part of Centerpoint?
<DeathStar> <Warren> It is possible. Good point. It could be that it just adapted to whatever was on DIas' and Marcus' brains when they touched it
<Luci> Si> "I thought we destroyed it?" *she frowns feeling it out*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Those two are stupid enough to unleash gods, spirits, and vampires
<DeathStar> <Warren> They touched it long ago
<ChadWinters`> Dias did live a life of comic books and adventure
<Luci> Si> "Good thing I didn't open it or we'd have superheroes, ninjas and giant mech... wait we already have those."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lands at the base. As he steps out, he moves to the computer and sits down, looking for blips.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Alright, here we go. Here's a blip. *he zooms in on the date, then looks concerned*
* ChadWinters` glances at the date stamp
<DeathStar> <Warren> *the date of Xanatos' death*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin bursts into the meeting room and lets out a groan.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> You left without me.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *goes about collecting the pair*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Interesting.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias sits in his campaign office in the base
<Luci> * Si frowns at that date. "Something important about that one..."
<Luci> * Jennifer steps in from medical and takes a seat to join the others.
<Xanatos> 6* A shuttle gives the propery security codes before landing in the base. After a bit Kane walks down the ramp, tan and in a hawaiian shirt. He waits at the bottom for Lemon.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren leans back, musing
<Xanatos> <Kellin> What's going on? 6* He whispers to Taiga
<Luci> * Jen frowns. "That's the day Xan died."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *he keeps scanning, then also sees a blip the date he went into a reality bubble*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *comm* "Dias is in the base with you in his so-called campaign office. Still trakcing down Marcus."
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon trots down
<Luci> Jennifer> "And... that day..." *she looks at Warren quietly*
<Luci> Si'Chii> "I'd say check the day we destroyed Centerpoint, but that's the same day, isn't it?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kane takes her hands and smiles, kissing it.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Curious. So three scenarios. The data stream could track a piercing into our reality, aka the mirror universe, not into an alternate reality. Or a changing of our reality.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I'll check in with the others and see you later.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Which means Xanatos could have been taken,
<DeathStar> <Warren> Or he might have been blasted into a pocket reality.
<Luci> Jennifer> "Like Christopher was."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Or he's been changed in some way.
* ChadWinters` nods.
<DeathStar> <Warren> On a reality level scale. He could be screaming next to us and we would not know
<Luci> Jennifer> "That's... kinda creepy."
<Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls his glasses out of his shirt pocket and moves towards Warren's office or the meeting room or wherever they are.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon swoons in place
<DeathStar> 6* Warren muses to himself and punches the thin air next to him at crotch level
<Luci> Jennifer> "Now I feel like the eyes of my father in law are burning a hole in the bakc of my neck."
<ChadWinters`> Warren, check around the time that Legion appeared.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren muses and begins to go backwards
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *steps into Dias' campaign office* "Dias."
<Xanatos> 6* Kane steps in after a bit and peers at them all around a computer. He says nothing and just walks up behind the group to quietly observe.
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga takes the data they have and begins to run scenarios, looking for a method to cross over safely
<DeathStar> 6* Peskov leans forward, eyeing the data
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm not seeing blips. Despite the fact Legion crossed back in time.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Hey...Wait...6He takes a deep breath and tries to look professional. 1"Hello Ms. Cassandra
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Happen to know where Marcus wandered off to?"
<ChadWinters`> So time traveling isn't a factor unless it effects reality.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Apparantly not.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I haven't seen him in 30 some years.
<Luci> Jennifer> "Other times in comparisons then could be when I was pulled in by the Light Engine or when Angela brought you back from an earlier timeline, Dad."
<Luci> Jennifer> "Or just my thing then."
<DeathStar> <Warren> I guess since that was a crossed circuit time travel. In the past it would have made a new reality
<DeathStar> <Warren> But that isn't an option anymore I suppose
<Luci> * Jennifer nods. "No multiverse to hold the realities."
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Well, apparently he's around somewhere. Anyway, Warren was asking for you. He needs your help."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Is that why we had that erasure effect?
<Xanatos> <Kane> You are checking abberations in the time line?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Not exactly
<ChadWinters`> More anomalies in data.
<Luci> Si> "A few have a flash of code that seems to indicate a change in the reality's structure."
<Xanatos> <Kane> May I see this anomaly?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren motions for Kane to look at it. As he stands, he muses
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Oh? Let me check my schedule. 6He spins around in his chair and moves to a wall, eyeing a badly written calender. 1"I could fit him in....Now.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I wonder if this flash explains why our reality is slowly being eroded and changed by the other
<Xanatos> 6* Kane moves over and sits down to peer at the screen, slowly moving through the code.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Objects popping up and reality quakes
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Come on then. I'm your escort."
<Luci> * Si frowns a bit more. "My bond with Gor seems to be totally gone now... but that could just be because he's in another universe."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren peers at another computer, tracking them. Taiga speaks up quietly
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I can answer that
<ChadWinters`> As if it's rewriting the very code of reality.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias nods and follows Cassandra, walking presidentially
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *leads him back to Warren and the others*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> As I said before, with Centerpoint over there, and it acting as the main reality
<DeathStar> 6* She makes a simulator
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This is happening
<Xanatos> 6* Kane muses for a few moments and tries to run the code through a few different types of known ciphers to see if it shifts to somethign readable.
<Luci> * Angela steps in, coming on shift, and blinks a bit at everyone meeting, she peeks over Kain's shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* She shows two planes, almost exact, with one on top and the other upside
<DeathStar> 6* Then she shows the upside down one slowly moving down and covering up the top one, overtaking it
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That's more what is happenig
<Luci> Si> "But... why?"
<Xanatos> <Kellin> We're being overwritten!?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Yep. Until we get Centerpoint back over here
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And make us primary again
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na walks in with Angela, handing her things to sign
<ChadWinters`> And if we do that, then will that mean the opposite will happen?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... Yes. I suppose it will
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> Constant opposing flux. Do we not have another solution?
<Luci> Si> "So... we didn't destroy centerpoint, we shot it into another universe, inadvertently making it the prime universe?"
<ChadWinters`> Something tells me they won't be open to that.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *walks in with Dias* "I brought Dias. Still no luck with Marcus."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *She muses* I suppose we could have the same number on each side>? Maybe?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *She shrugs* I don't know. That's never been tried
<Kemonohime> * Megumi walks over and reaches out, interacting with the holo, pulling at points of both planes and twists, turning them inward like they rest on the inside of a sphere.
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> What about this?
<Luci> Si> "Balance. We pushed it in there, and everything is now weighted on it's side."
<ChadWinters`> I'd prefer we got rid of them for this realities safety. But it might be better to make a new Centerpoint
<Luci> Si> "So it's slowly pushing down on us. Or Up."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> In the past, when three realities formed a Trinity, we were prime but it worked. But Centerpoint was broken
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> We've told centerpoint no more multiverse, so what about this, only one?
<DeathStar> *is
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias waves to everyone. 1"Hello good people."
<Luci> * Angela rubs her temple and steals one of Warren's pain killers.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Uh. Is that maybe what them masked people are doing? They're getting crystals aren't they?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I have no idea, Megumi.
<kalonZombie> 6Mi'Na eyes Angela
<DeathStar> <Warren> They do seem to have a lot of crystals
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> <No.>
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods to Cassandra.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Track down Marcus. I am sure he sucks at hiding himself
<Luci> Angela> <One. I need my brain to not explode.>
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> Consider it my proposal. I have no desire to destroy other realities to stabilize my own. It will only perpetuate more conflict.
<ChadWinters`> Hard to say what their true end game is.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves over to Dias and scans hims with a datapad
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "I'll find him." *walks out, leaving Dias with Warren and co*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hold still.
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> You can cite the conflict we had in the multiverse as a prime example.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Hey wait! Stop!
<Kemonohime> * Megumi deadpans as Dias enters. "Oh. Him."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hmmmm, hmmmmm.... I see....
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. I see.
<Luci> ANgela> "THreaten to burn his secret stash or put Dias on a flag pole and claim he needs to be rescued."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods
<DeathStar> <Warren> *he turns* Dias has been changed as I suspect.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I do not condone to this...Wait? WhaT?! 6He peers at Warren, trying to peek at his datapad
<Luci> * Si raises a brow. "Changed?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> You are an anomaly
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shows Dias, his stats showing the same signal
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> Are you sure it's not just his overwhelming self need to not conform?
<Luci> * Jennifer blinks and scans him herself curiously, looking over his signatures.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I'm not seeing a way to convert this to a known algorithm. It's likely because it shouldn't exist.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Uh yeah, I know I am. 6He shrugs. 1"It's why I'm so awesome. And all that proves is how awesome I truely am
<DeathStar> <Warren> It is possible, but more likely when he opened the box, the box changed him
<Luci> Angela> "Haven't figured out how to code reality yet Chris?"
<Xanatos> <Kane> But I will make a copy and see if I can figure it out in my down time.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *he whispers to Chad* Most likely the original Dias died that day and a new Dias was written into existance
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hmph. In due time.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> You mean Pandora's Box? It was one of my top 10 adventures.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I call it Dias 2.0
<ChadWinters`> Hard to say.
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> Wouldn't 'Duos' be more appropriate?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Anyway, since you are an anomaly, Dias, you may be able to detect other Anamolies
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Does Dias have this confusing code stuff in him!? 6* He pokes him a few times.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Code stuff?
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias giggles, swatting at Kellin's hand
<DeathStar> <Warren> Not so much in him. It's like Cheryl when she was a reality addict
<DeathStar> <Warren> Only he doesn't have reality powers
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin jerks and holds his hand with a sad face.
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> So... a reject
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Of course I don't. I only have Weapon Powers in me....HEY!
<Luci> * Jennifer rubs her head and sighs, eyeing the scan. "I wonder if we can use this to track other anomolies and people who shouldn't be here."
<DeathStar> <Warren> It may. It can answer if Samson is Ben or not I suppose
<ChadWinters`> It'd be a baseline to go off of. Might even be able to find Marcus with it
<Xanatos> <Kane> A reject that somehow succeed in almost everything he does...as if reality is altering in his favor.
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> And then what, round them up into an internment camp and deport them?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Either way, it may be able to find out if Xanatos is alive or not
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I am not a reject!
<Luci> Jennifer> "Well I'll do what I can to map out the energy changes and signature markings so we can do a wide scan."
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> Reality has rejected you the way you reject it." She notes to Dias.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Of course you're not
<DeathStar> <Warren> Of course. Let us all get ready, and prepare to travel with Dias tied to the front of the ship
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> IF that's true Meg, then why am I still here?
<DeathStar> Location: Mexico
<DeathStar> 6* Cassandra would find a hell hole in Mexico State
<DeathStar> 6* A donkey braws
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *slips off her sunglasses* "How cliche. Two drinks if he has a bottle of tequila."
<DeathStar> 6* Juan cleans the floor as she enters
<DeathStar> 6* And a male stripper dances to a tune, shaking his stuff
<Luci> * Setsuna tagged along due to boredom. "What about a sombrero?"
<DeathStar> 6* Hexxy, the Barry Mexican Bartender, pours drinks, to a shaggy Marcus
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *walks in and moves to the bar*
<Luci> * Setsuna moves in with her.
<DeathStar> 6* The male stripper tosses his sombero, if you get my drift, to the crowd
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus is indeed drinking tequila, his face is full on viking beard with long hair pulled back into a pony tail. Despite the heat he's wearing a long duster.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *sits to one side of Marcus* "You look like shit."
<Luci> * Setsuna takes the other side.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You sure don't. 6*He glances her up and down, then takes another sip.
<Luci> Setsuna> "For a lost puppy he seems quite shaggy."
<DeathStar> 6* A tiny robot drives up along the counter, with a screen on it, opened up to show the people back at the base what is going on
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I was hoping you all wouldn't find me.
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta leans forward. "H-hey, is that a naked mexican---oh my."
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta coughs and runs off. Ren leans forward, tilting her head
<Luci> * Setsuna waves at the bar keep. "Silver Bullet please."
<DeathStar> 6* Hexxy pours it into a dirty glass and slides it over
<ChadWinters`> 6A hand pushes Ren out of the screen and a face presses against the monitor
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> ...Can we look at the naked man again?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Look at that man's penis! 6*He shouts in the background.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Hard to get lost without killing yourself first... .. ..." *baps the robot screen* "Get Carmichael."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> No don't turn to the man's penis!
<DeathStar> 6* The small robot tosses a dollar at the stripper when Kellin says that
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias falls out of the screen
<Luci> Setsuna> "Don't whine puppy. It's not even a full moon yet."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren can be seen drowning down 5 pills
<Luci> * Angela looks at the pills jealously.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *rubs the bridge of her nose*
<Luci> * Jennifer frowns at them.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Marcus
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What do you want with me?
<DeathStar> <Warren> You are being conscripted back into the military. Get cleaned up and get back here
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> <No or no loving for a month>
<DeathStar> 6* The tiny robot slaps his badge back down
<Xanatos> <Marcus> And if I say no?
<Luci> Setsuna> "Then I get to tie you up."
<DeathStar> <Warren> The robot has 100 volts of electricity to knock you out and Cassandra can drag you back
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias' face pops up. 1"I miss my little buddy! Come back to me! You look so bad ass now with close to a man bun
<DeathStar> 6* The tiny robot sparks
<DeathStar> <Warren> We need to examine you for the fate of the world
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a sigh and finishes his drink.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I've heard that line before. Alright, let's go.
<DeathStar> <Vesta> He cries every night about missing you
<Luci> Setsuna> "...Aww, I just got new rope too."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> And bring me back some tequila
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> <Isn't 100 volts nothing?>
<Luci> ANgela> <Shhh, they're morons.>
<DeathStar> 6* The tiny robot zooms toward the stripper
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Bring that stripper, he looks fun!
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias makes a noise and falls out of the screen again
<DeathStar> <Vesta> .oO (So Kellin swings that way)
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Yes yes bring the stripper, he looks fun~
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date/Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> 6* The city has grown up rapidly, so fast it's hard to control the corruption. Tora has taken to wearing a mask in public, to help hide the fact she is not fully human, due to the bigots out there, and the fact she looks eternally young. Sen works hard and they are both happy
<DeathStar> 6* Every time she dreams, it almost feels like the city is coming up with new ideas, like the Biotects or the Faunas as pets
<DeathStar> 6* The city is almost hard to recognize anymore
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Underground Base
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gestures at Marcus
<DeathStar> <Warren> So that's it. When you two opened the box, everything changef
<DeathStar> <Warren> We're hoping you all can lead us to changes going on in the world
<Luci> * Jennifer peers over Marcus' scan.
<DeathStar> 6* He's changed like Dias.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> So. How would we even begin to do that?
<Luci> Jennifer> "Same markings. It's a signature we can build off of, I think."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias peers over Marcus constantly, shifting as he looks at him from different angles. 1"Yeah that's fine whatever...
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga looks up from her workstation
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus smacks Dias on the shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Warren> For now, just be in the same ship. That'll be enough for now
<DeathStar> 6* Peskov studies the two, raising an eyeybrow.
<ChadWinters`> Maybe, but these two were affected at the same time. The others might be different. But yes, we can find something maybe
<Luci> Angela> "And so the bromance is rekindled. Gods help us all."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Right now, we'll bring them up to the PAX. Since Xanatos' disappearanced near it. See if anything can be felt there.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Maybe they need to hug a lot.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> That's such a manly beard.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> The PAX?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Come on you two. We're going to PAX City. Anyone else that wants to come, you're welcome
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves for a shuttle
* ChadWinters` sends a message off on his datapad and he moves along
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks apprehensive about that, then sighs and moves for the shuttle.
<Luci> * Tabetha squeals from testing something in the science lab.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Took me almost a month to grow it.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin trots along with them, Kane stays behind to fiddle with that code.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias walks along side Marcus, his hands resting behind his head. 1"That's it? I've been growing one for at least 15 years.
<DeathStar> 6* Peskov and Vesta follow along, getting into the shuttle
<DeathStar> <Warren> Plus I need to pick up a few things
<Luci> * Angela sighs and follows out of morbid curiosity. Jennifer rises to follow, and Si goes as well. Either shockingly calm or just holding back a nuclear blast a this point.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> That whole wolf thing is sorta there.
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na moves along with Angela
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hey uh...can I take a moment when we get to Pax to talk to Katrina?
<kalonZombie> 6*Then hugs Si
<DeathStar> <Warren> If you want, sure
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> After we get back you tell momma what's wrong.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> It looks good on you.
<Luci> Jennifer> "We need you alive though, so wear a vest."
<DeathStar> <Warren> But I advise a bath first
<DeathStar> <Warren> You smell like a donkey
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods to Warren in agreement and also his thanks.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Luci> Jennifer> "That might deter her wife."
<DeathStar> Location: Science Lab
<DeathStar> 6* As they go over the science stuff, Tabetha's head would feel lightheaded at times. Especially near the equipment
<Luci> * Tabetha rubs her head, blinking a bit. "I feel funny..."
<DeathStar> 6* There's a familiar resonance coming from it
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Hmmmmm?"
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> It's protecting itself.
<Luci> * Tabetha steps back from the equipment to test if it feels better. Frowning. "Something about this is... familiar. THere's a resonance to it."
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> You haven't found anything 'strange' yet, have you, Tabby?
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Protecting itself?" *pulls out a scanner and then scans Tabetha herself*
<Luci> Tabetha> "Like I've seen this before... or felt this before."
<DeathStar> 6* Tabetha scans normal
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> I'm willing to bet the more we examine this, the less we'll find. Likely rewriting as we do to 'make it normal'
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> But how do you make a control for something like that?
<Luci> Tabetha> "...I don't like this."
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Nothing abnormal."
<Luci> Tabetha> "It's not physical then... but... it could be psionic. Something about the equipment is effecting me."
<DeathStar> 6* One of the largest pieces of equipment seems to be encased in some of the strongest metal on the planet
<DeathStar> 6* Strangely
<DeathStar> 6* Which makes scanning it hard
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> I rest my case.
<Kemonohime> * Megumi steps away in annoyance, paging Warren about the development.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *uses some manipulators to pull the encased item on to the exam table*
<DeathStar> <Warren on comm> Yes?
<Luci> Tabetha> "It might not be everything, but something among the equipment..." *she frowns* "...I..."
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Really? I don't feel anything."
<Luci> Tabetha> "This was the case related to Spade right?"
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> During the examination process Tabetha's begun reacting in some way and now one of the scanners is enveloped in adamantium.
<DeathStar> (Not the scanner, I just meant the equipment itself is encased in it)
<DeathStar> (The item being scanned)
<Jackieness> <Myria> *starts using a deep penetration scan on the encased equipment*
<Luci> Tabetha> *she sits on the other side of the room from it, frowning*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Tell Myria and Tabetha to hold off working on that. Consider it off limits. Especially with Tabetha in the room
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> The item is turtling.
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> Right. Okay you two, break time.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Whoever put it in there should have been put off limits on it
<Luci> Tabetha> "Warren has a point. If this was meant to effect someone and allow Spade tot ake a mind, I'm a lightning rod."
<DeathStar> 6* Myria gets the faintest imaging of a brain
<Kemonohime> * Megumi turns and eyes the equipment, bringing up a hand and begins encasing it further in her crystalline manifest.
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> Myria Arhna-- stop.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Eeeeee!" *shuts off the scanner*
<Luci> * Tabetha frowns. "A brain?"
<Kemonohime> <Megumi> Yes, you two out-- now.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren clicks her tongue, perhaps having heard that information on the other side of the comm
<Luci> Tabetha> *is now as far away as she can get from it, then moves to leave*
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll be on your home soon. I plan to ask your wife to take a look on it
<Kemonohime> * Megumi narrows her eyes after encasing it, bringing up her datapad and nodding to Warren. "If anything happens I'll flay you."
<Jackieness> <Myria> *shuffles out*
<Luci> Tabetha> "...Is that safe? She was his vessel once."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *clicks off*
<Luci> Tabetha> "He'll know his way back inside."
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Kicke dout of our own lab..."
<Kemonohime> * Megumi clicks her own tongue, then sends instructions to two of her tachikoma to keep tabs on Tabetha and Myria now after 'contact' with it.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX City
<DeathStar> 6* Warren's shuttle lands outside the PAX Museum to travel up to the ship. He seems to be looking annoyanced and worried
<DeathStar> <Warren> A brain. The brain. No. A copy. How..
<DeathStar> .6* He rises and steps off
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fucking brains
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fucking Spade
<DeathStar> 6* He pops 3 more pills
<ChadWinters`> We've had people recreate things out of less
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Wait, that asshole is around again? Ugh.
<DeathStar> <Warren> No. They're using his body parts.
<DeathStar> <Warren> For now.
<Luci> * Jennifer looks at her father worriedly, but nods.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias hands out fliers as they walk shaking hands
<DeathStar> 6* As they approach the teleporters up to the PAX, a young John approaches, somehow not old. He leaps up at Dias, chest bumping
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps off the shuttle and looks around for a place he can go to get cleaned up.
<DeathStar> <John> Dias! Marcus!
<Luci> Jennifer> "It... could carry his latent energy, maybe even his psyche in some way. He seemed to be able to inhabit dead bodies in the past too."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> JOHN!
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> John. You look... young.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes John being young, staring a moment, then eyes him again, then pinches himself
<DeathStar> <John> I am at that. *He flexes*
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> <Was he bit by a kitsune like Hale was?>
<Luci> Jennifer> "...I think Myria did that to him?"
* ChadWinters` rubs the back of his neck.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> You look goofy.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> How are we three so young but warren and Chad are so old?
<Luci> Jennifer> "Sensei, looking good?"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus holds up a fist to fist bump John.
<DeathStar> <John> Well, you see. I have a wife and daughter that can change the world with tipsy topsy powers
<ChadWinters`> I blame most people I had to spend time with
<DeathStar> <John> So I got on my knees and begged Locket until she made me young
<Luci> Jennifer> "...Key Save Pointed your AGE?"
<Luci> Jennifer> "Ah... even odder."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh sweet, can they shrink Dias' penis to be like 2 inches? That would be hilarious.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> HEY! 6He elbows Marcus
<DeathStar> <John> But she said it's temporary or something and that I'll regret it if I keep it up
<Kemonohime> <Hope> How did someone like him get in bed with an artificially-created psycho-goddess?
<Luci> Jennifer> "That would explain why Tabetha's been acting dorkier than usual."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Easy. He's got swagger
<DeathStar> 6* John winks at Hope
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hurries on to the teleporter
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Then again, I guess Erevis got with cat-mom
<Luci> Jennifer> "She got more subdued as John was aging but she's been acting sillier of late."
* ChadWinters` steps on besides Warren.
<Kemonohime> * Hope squints, then sighs.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin trots up beside Warren and gives him a sympathetic look.
<DeathStar> <John> *Walks along* So I thought I'd help out with my super strength
<DeathStar> 6* Peskov sizes John up
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus gets on, rubbing the place where Dias elbowed him
<Kemonohime> * Hope eyes Peskov solidly.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Aww that's cute. 6He squeezes John's bicep mockingly
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Did Locket say how long it would last?
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> So his daughter made him younger... Miyuki made Hale younger... how else do humans cheat age?
<Luci> * Angela eyes John up and down and shakes her head, but she's barely aged herself. She follows the others.
<DeathStar> <John> Something about it lasting less and less time. I didn't listen
<Luci> Jennifer> "Well I became a famfrit to do it."
<Luci> * Jennifer wiggles the ears, then follows the others.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Somehow wake up 30 years later but never age a day. 6* He trells Mi'Na.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I haven't cheated age.
<ChadWinters`> Science. 6He grunts out
<DeathStar> 6* John steps onto the teleport posing. Locket is nearby, armms crossed, waiting on this to back fire on her father
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I'm like 200 at this point!
<ChadWinters`> And still act 12.
<DeathStar> 6* They all teleport up to the PAX, where Ao is waiting. She eyes John being young with barely a blink, then nods to them
<DeathStar> <Ao> Follow me.
<Luci> * Leyaeh sighs a bit at the antics, nodding to them all.
<DeathStar> <Ao> I'm keeping this on the low down from Lenneth and Erevis, due to what you're looking into.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias hands Ao a flier and a smile
<DeathStar> 6* Ao takes it, eyeing it
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Ao! My favorite of the extended family.
<DeathStar> <Ao> I can't vote in Earth elections
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "I became a cyborg. That's how I look good."
<DeathStar> 6* Ao pats Hope
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Hello Ao.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Oh. Darn. But you can still root for me!
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin walks along and bats his eyes at Ao.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sniffs himself again and then walks along.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao leads them to the hanger quietly.
<Luci> * Leyaeh gently elbows Kellin as they move along.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias hands him some cologne
<DeathStar> <Ao> I navigated the PAX quietly to the asteroid field where Xanatos went boom
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Apparently I'm a magical girl instead of a superheroine. But maybe I can still learn to be half as cool as Aonee!" She uses the term Megumi used to.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin blinks and looks at Layaeh.
<Luci> LEyaeh> "Aonee's at work right now."
<DeathStar> 6* Ao motions. Warren turns to peer at Dias and Marcus, seeing what happens, or if anything
<Kemonohime> * Hope eyes Leyaeh oddly
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Oh, right the midget.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus stands there awkwardly
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I don't get it.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes his datapad, seeing no sign of signatures changing or anything
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias wiggles his finger in his ear
<Kemonohime> <Hope> They have a kid. Somehow Ao married a cat, too.
<Kemonohime> * Hope gestures at Leyaeh
<Luci> * Leyaeh raises a brow, then peers around. She sniffs, using her spirit senses to try and see if she can detect anything.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Oh. I really don't get it.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Oh well.
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Me either.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Cats are almost as populus as rabbits it seems
<DeathStar> <Warren> Xanatos must be dead. Or my theory is a bust
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "What were you expecting to happen?"
<Luci> * Jennifer peers about quietly and scans for things along the same wavelength.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Maybe we really do need contact. High five?
<Kemonohime> * Hope flattens her cat ears in annoyance. Never mind that she's a 'cat' also
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks at Dias.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I don't know. I was hoping they would react to similiar signatures as their own
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> High five? Friends don't high five. They bro hug
<Luci> * Leyaeh starts to walk around the area, sniffing more. She pulls off her gloves and tries to get a feel for Xanatos.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "How can we tell they arne't? I mean, they are kind of weird anyway..."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> But what if it was an AWESOME high five? Like you get over there, I get over here and we run at each other.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> The HIGHEST of fives.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren muses.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> That's so much better! 6He turns running to the other side.
* ChadWinters` sighs, rubbing his face now
<DeathStar> 6* Peskov stares at them
<DeathStar> <Peskov> Are they always be being this stupid?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus runs to the other side and holds up 3 fingers, then counts down and starts sprinting.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh yeah.
<Luci> Jennifer> "...Actually..." *she holds up her scannr to monitor them doing this*
<Kemonohime> * Hope nods to Peskov. "Sometimes worse.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Like, the dumbest.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias starts sprinting towards him, and then leaps, throwing his left hand towards Marcus for the epicest of high fives
<DeathStar> <Vesta> *claps for them*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "...if they react now..."
<Luci> * Leyaeh ignores them and keeps up spirit tracking, hoping to sense something.
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Sometimes they be being more idioting than usual.
<DeathStar> <Warren> They will be the death of me
<DeathStar> <Warren> Mark my words.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> WHOAAAAAAA. 6He throws his hand out as hard as he can to high five, making a mighty impact.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I will die because of them
<Luci> Jennifer> "Never underestimate the power of pure unadulterated stupid."
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Wouldn't be the first time, uncle. I read the files.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> This is so stupid.
<DeathStar> 6* Marcus and Dias goes flying backwards, making a thunderclap
<Luci> * Angela pouts and wants pills.
<Luci> * Jennifer watches the scan.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus lets out a grown, holding his hand.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren shakes his head. A mechanic suddenly rises and begins to hurry away
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na hands Angela some, keeping some others for herself
<DeathStar> 6* Jennifer gets the tinest of blips
<Xanatos> <Marcus> That...was...amazing.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias lands ands tumbles. 1"Oh man! THAT WAS AWESOME!"
<Luci> Jennifer> "I... got something?"
<Kemonohime> * Hope narrows her eyes and darts after the mechanic to tackle
<Luci> * Leyaeh moves after the mechanic.
<DeathStar> 6* The mechanic falls over, flailing. The face changing to what looks like one of the bone faced aliens
<Luci> * Jennifer frowns and peers over the blip to try and get a better scan.
<DeathStar> 6* It's face imaging failing
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ...It was at least a nice sound.
<Kemonohime> * Hope sits, pinning the arms with her knees, forming a gun with a big, manic grin
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Got'cha!
<Luci> * LEyaeh holds a shard of crystal to it's face. "In. Ter. Est. Ing."
<Kemonohime> <Hope> 'Sup, chump!?
* ChadWinters` glances over at Hope mounting the bad guy
<DeathStar> 6* The alien lifts it's knee, aiming to impale her with it's sharp knees
<DeathStar> <Ao> HOPE!
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus hops back up and shakes his hand.
<Luci> * Leyaeh pushes it against the alien's face. "Down boy."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> MARCUS! ASSEMBLE!
<Kemonohime> * Hope arches her back, looking rather lewd, but eyeing the spike over her shoulder, curving to try and avoid it.
<Luci> Leyaeh> "Or I swear I will get a look at your brains."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks around, confused and looks for more people to fight.
<DeathStar> 6* The alien makes sounds in it's alien language, and bites down in something, it's head begins to melt, leaving behind nothing
<DeathStar> 6* Warren hurries over as the alien kills itself
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Looks like another one of those jokers."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Uh, he died.
* ChadWinters` moves quickly.
<DeathStar> <Ao> How dare they be on MY ship
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Damn, should have jammed that crystal in his mouth.
<Luci> Leyaeh> "..." *she tries trapping the rest in crystal*
<Kemonohime> <Hope> They have those cyanide-teeth things.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Did we create him with our high five!?
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias hops up and peers over. 1"It killed itself in fear of us Marcus."
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Is it actually cyanide or something else?"
<Luci> * Jennier frowns and works on trying to amplify the blip in case it wasn't the alien.
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Cyanide doesn't do that! But I don't know what else to call it at the moment
<ChadWinters`> These things seem to always appear around these reality anomalies. We might be on to something
<DeathStar> 6* The corrisive acid thing melts the crystal. The blip seems to be outside
<Luci> Jennifer> "Umm... guys?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> What, Jennifer?
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Cyanide can affect species differently
<Luci> Jennifer> "The blip is... outside."
<Luci> * Jennifer moves closer to the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Peskov peers outside, at a figure flailing in space comically, freezing
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na blinks and looks over, then follows Jen
<DeathStar> 6* Like a puppet
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "...no way..."
<Luci> Jennifer> "Get him inside!"
<Kemonohime> * Hope glances where Peskov is looking and squints. "Who's that?"
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Oh. Huh
<Xanatos> * Marcus pats Dias on the back.
* ChadWinters` moves to look outside.
<Luci> Leyaeh> "CHIP! Emergency teleport!"
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Looks like they're dying whoever they are.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Teleporting
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias laughs proudly
<DeathStar> 6* The figure is teleporting
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Sorry I didn't come around, needed some time.
<DeathStar> <Peskov> Does this kind of thing happen every day with you guys?
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Pretty much. I'm new here and it's nonstop.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I mean it comes in spurts.
<ChadWinters`> Unfortunately, more than it should
<Luci> Leyaeh> "...No... but we had that external teleporting set up during the space battles ages ago."
<DeathStar> <Ao> It's probably some idiot passenger fell outside the ship
<Xanatos> <Kellin> One time we had like a whole 2 weeks of just nothing.
<DeathStar> <Ao> I wouldn't get my hopes up
<Luci> Leyaeh> "An idiot, sure. I assume CHIP sent him to medical?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> How does a person fall out of a ship? Use your head Ao.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Airlock?
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Get us an ID on them..."
<ChadWinters`> She's choosing to cast reasonable doubt.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shakes his head at Ao, nudging Dias.
<Luci> Leyaeh> "I could show you two if you really want.
<DeathStar> <Ao> You expect me to believe you two high fived Xan back into reality after 40 years?
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias nods to Marcus. 1"Yeah, you should. You've seen me in action.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Why not? We've done more impressive things.
<Luci> Jennifer> "Never underestimate the power of pure stupid."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I mean us. Sorry, I'm not used to this anymore."
<Luci> Angela> <Morons. Of. Legend.>
<DeathStar> Location: Bridge
<DeathStar> 6* AT the same time of the clap, Lenneth leans forward, eyeing a region of space going wild with alarms and sensors
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> What. In. The. Hell
<Kemonohime> <Jem> What's wrong?
<DeathStar> 6* She waves her hand, bringing up readings as a reality quake is occurring.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> It seems a reality quake is occurring near where Centerpoint vanished. And it happened just a moment ago. If we're not careful, the moon and Earth could be in trouble
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> CHIP, get us into hyperspace. It'll take us time to get back there
<DeathStar> 6* CHIP acknowledges and the ship jumps.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Weird timing. I wonder what caused it to happen all of a sudden
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Medical Bay
<DeathStar> 6* Ao leans forward, eyeing the puffy face of the man they saved
<DeathStar> <Ao> Can't tell if it's Xan or not
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethan works on healing him
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta stands by, not having a horse in this
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Whoever it is, they're ugly.
<kalonZombie> <Ethan> Let me take a DNA sample 6*He takes it and starts running it to see if they get a match
<DeathStar> <Warren> *he taps his cane, eyeing the face* They look about the age Xan was when they vanished
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Did they seriously high five Xanatos back into existence?!"
<DeathStar> <Warren> His DNA might have been changed like Dias' and Marcus'.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> You still doubt us?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I kinda hope not. That guy was a tool. But we totally did.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias holds his hand up towards Marcus
<Luci> * Jennifer examines as well, frowning as she works on a treatment for his skin due to the cold exposure.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus gives a normal, less awesome high five.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao eyes her comm, then frowns in worry as she eyes what Lenneth sends her, running off
<ChadWinters`> We could just drug him and make him speak.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Oh shit
<DeathStar> <Ao> I think you two high fived more than Xan back
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias peers at Ao
<Luci> * Leyaeh frowns and follows her.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Wait, we did?
<Luci> Jennifer> "THe power of pure, unadulterated stupidity."
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> With great power, comes great responsibility.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *asks CHIP* What is up?
<DeathStar> <CHIP> There is a reality quake in space between Earth and the Moon
<DeathStar> <CHIP> A big one it seems
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What's...that?
<Luci> Angela> "At Centerpoint?"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> The old location, yes.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> A reality quake is where the mirror universe slowly invades our reality
<DeathStar> <CHIP> By causing massive destruction
<Luci> * Angela frowns and peers at Marcus and Dias. "...Do NOT touch each other again."
<DeathStar> 6* Ethan gets a positive result as Xan's face is fully healed
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> pscht, it's like we're gay or anything...
<DeathStar> <Warren> So they admit it
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We transcend that.
<kalonZombie> <Ethan> It's Xanatos.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Wait...
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin pokes Xanatos a few times.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren moves off
<Xanatos> <Marcus> In a manly way.
<kalonZombie> <Ethan> Should I inform Ako and Iko their father is alive again?
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Yeah!
<ChadWinters`> I'd hold off on it currently.
<Luci> Jennifer> "Probably the twins too."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Mama Revi would not like being kept in the dark.
<Luci> Jennifer> "Seeing as they never really got to meet him."
<ChadWinters`> We need to keep everyone focused on this reality quake first.
<DeathStar> <Pesko> IF Xan returning caused it, we could throw him back in it. *He says seriously*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Maybe we can punch the quake apart.
<ChadWinters`> And then let Xanatos decide what he wants to do since so much as changed
<DeathStar> *Peskov
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Is that how it works? Wouldn't it be back together?
<Luci> Jennifer> "Just... no shuttles."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> He can't do the mexico thing, I already did that.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'll be back in like 20. 6* He moves to go shower.
<DeathStar> 6* Cuddles eyes them all talking in her hospital and smiles creepily.
<Luci> * Jennifer looks to her daughter and sighs. "Need us to be quiet sweetheart?"
<kalonZombie> 6*Ethan shrugs at Cuddles
<DeathStar> 6* Imagine an Athena looking evil
* ChadWinters` rubs his face and moves after Warren
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos is laying there, eyes closed and looking just like the day he died.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Please.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *shakes her head and steps out*
<Luci> * Jennifer nods. "Okay dear."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I'd to have to spank my own mother
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin kisses Cuddles cheek and then trots out.
<DeathStar> *hate
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Phaw!
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> *eyes Kellin*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Bridge
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth eyes as they arrive, the area around the space quivering and shaking more and more. Buildings float out into space
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Dammit. How are we going to stop it.
<DeathStar> 6* She begins to power up the PAX weapons
<Luci> Leyaeh> "Knowing centerpoint, that MIGHT make it worse."
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin makes his way onto the bridge if he's allowed, also maybe if he's not allowed since he likes to be close to the exciting stuff.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> From what is said, Centerpoint is no longer at that location
<Xanatos> <Kellin> How've you stopped the others ones?
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth begins to fire into the location, trying to stop it
<Luci> Angela> "True... on THIS side."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Honestly? Wait it out. But this is too big.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Shooting in there is just sending the attacks to the other side isn't it?
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth frowns as the shots seem to do nothing but stop debris from coming through
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I suppose so
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> But what do you suggest we do?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> This thing got a tractor beam? Or like...someone with reality powers?
<Luci> Angela> "Try to minimize the damage around the quake and study the anomoly as best we can while it's still happening."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Everyone lost their reality powers to my knowledge
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Could at least try to get a strong tractor beam around it to hold it and keep it from growing more. But that might take more power than we got.
<DeathStar> <Ao> The only person that might have them is Taiga. And that is ab ig might. She has displayed them off and on despite never having the shards since she was born when Cheryl had powers
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth switches the PAX to tractor beam
<Xanatos> <Kellin> We could ask her to try, better than nothing.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> At this rate, I fear we'll run out of power like you said. <Ao> I hope Drasek isn't alive in the engines. If so, we might be draining him
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I could maybe pump some hyperspace into them but it might suck me in like it did him.
<Kemonohime> <Hope> He'll be fiiiiine if he's anything like these other idiots.
<Luci> * Leyaeh's ear flicks. "It's not like we can just throw Dias in there and see what happens... is it?"
<Kemonohime> <Hope> Wait, who's Drasek?
<DeathStar> <Ao> That would kill him
<DeathStar> <Ao> Old Progenitor who jumped into our core
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Weird.
<DeathStar> <Ao> It's why our engine cores haven't given out yet
<Xanatos> <Kellin> My dad.
<Luci> Leyaeh> "Oh." *she tries to sound like that would be terrible*
<DeathStar> 6* The lights begin to flicker as the PAX strains against the reality quake
<Luci> * Angela eyes Leyaeh with a brow raised and shrugs.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship shuddering
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Uh. If Marcus and Dias did cause this maybe they can uncause it?
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Wait, huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth eyes Kellin
<Xanatos> <Kellin> It's kind of a long story.
<Luci> Leyaeh> "The morons high fived each other when this happened."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> ... are you fucking kidding me?
<Luci> Leyaeh> "And well... we saw some evidence that they may be causing something."
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> No.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Something to do with a box and a girl named Pandora and them being different.
<Luci> Leyaeh> "We'll talk about it after the crisis."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> .... If you can do something, find, launch them out toward the reality quake
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Worst thing is we lose two people who get sucked over to the other side
<Luci> Angela> "He means Pandora's Box... which incidentally, didn't Centerpoint kind of... come out of?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin salutes and runs off to get the two prepared.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> USE FIGHTERS
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Or GEARS
<Xanatos> <Kellin> YES MA'AM!
<DeathStar> 6* The PAX shakes, tear on the hulls appearing. Taiga stands at a window, watching the chaos going on, her fox ears twitching
<Luci> Leyaeh> "We could fire them out of the torpedo bays..." *she mumbles, probably joking*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Jesus.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> It'll be too fast. They might not have time to influence it
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Assuming they really did this
<Luci> * Leyaeh nods, liking that Lenneth considered it.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin find Dias and tells him about the sweet GEARs in the hanger, finding and dragging a naked Marcus down to get in one too.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias responds with a resounding jaw drop and a mad dash
<Luci> * Leyaeh eyes the monitors. "...It was really that easy."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus, dripping wet from his shower gets in one grumbling about not letting his conditioner set in.
<Luci> * Sammael steps up and peers out at the chaos.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias takes the ugliest one there and climbs in like a child with a new toy.
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth eyes reports that the Core is cracking
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Okay Dias, this things are sweet...but how we going to high five with them?
<DeathStar> 6* Taiga focuses, seeing if she still has powers
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> With our mech hands. You just need to treat them as an extension of your body.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> *taps comm* We need repair crews down in the Core, ASAP
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ooooh. That's awesome.
<Luci> * Sammael frowns and moves out.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus figures out his controls before blasting out towards the tear.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias gives a mech thumbs up towards Marcus and blasts out of the hanger
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Where were these when we were here before!? 6* he spins as he gets close, slowing down if he senses being pulled in.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin walks back in the hanger giving a thumbs up.
<Xanatos> (Bridge)
<Luci> Leyaeh> *rubs her face*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I know right? think of the sweet shit we could've pulled then. 6He comes to a stop. 1"So Plan B high five?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Okay! But TOWARD the thingy.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> At an angle thought right?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Away from earth and the mooon, yeah.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Like...in the middle? Or is that down?
<Luci> Leyaeh> "Oh my Goddess... this is really happening."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus swoops back anyway and winds his Gear arm up.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias thumbs up again and blasts off to his starting spot. 1"Hard to say. We'll figure it out."
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias begins to rotate his mech arm to warm up then blasts off towards the meeting point
<Luci> * Angela stares a bit, a strange look on her face.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> GOOOOOOOOOO. 6* He blasts forward yelling as he tries to force his whole being into this awesome high five, angling the claps in a way that shouldn't hit anything but space and the tear.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias spirals for effect and cracks his hand in to meet with Marcus'
<DeathStar> 6* The PAX's core cracks down the middle
<Xanatos> <Kellin> So when this doesn't work and we all blow up? I'ved loved you all.
<DeathStar> 6* As the clap, the reality quake seems to quiver a bit
<Luci> * Sammael frowns and makes sure the shielding is in place so that the repair crews aren't fried.
<DeathStar> 6* And Lenneth points forward, and pushes forward with more firing at the edges and more energes waves, matching the pattern
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Come on you, cancel. CANCEL OUT
<Xanatos> <Marcus> WE NEED TO USE BOTH HANDS!
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Woh did you see that?!
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus swoops back for anothe run.
<Luci> * Angela rubs the side of her face. <I think... I actually missed these clowns.>
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> This time with everything! 6He flicks some switches and blasts towards MArcus, both arms out this time
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth eyes the power, as the reality quake begins to vanish slowly, when the PAX's core blows out of energy and it stops
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> no...
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth slams her hands down
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> <Sweetie, if we live through this, I am drinking so much I am blocking this entire day out>
<Xanatos> <Marcus> WOOOOO 6* He shouts as he goes forward.
<Luci> Sammael> "Get our backups in place! INspect the core for a life form!"
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth eyes the quake begins to get stronger again slowly. Taiga keeps focusing herself
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sends both hands forward for a double claps of awesome rockitude.
<DeathStar> 6* The quake stops, either from the clap, or the PAX, or Taiga, who knows. It seems to vanish
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias connects, matching his awesome rockitude in full force
<DeathStar> 6* Leaving floating buildings
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> .... *She leans back* <Ao> Poor Drasek. He'll no longer comment on asses.
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias gear's arms spark. 1"DUDE!"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Holy shit I missed this. 6* He says as his gear spirals away from the clap.
<Luci> * Sammael directs the teams to get their backup core in place, or whatever they have, and starts to check for signs of Drasek.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the results on their antics, and sends it to Taiga, to make a machine that can transfer people to the other side
<Xanatos> <Kellin> He'll comment on the asses in our hearts.
<DeathStar> 6* The teams find only the smell of Britishness
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Underground Base
<DeathStar> 6* Warren makes sure to lock up the Spade material for now until there is time to examine it. In the meantime, a large ship is brought into the hanger, nearly the size of the mansion
<Xanatos> 6* Kane peers at the ship on the monitors.
<DeathStar> 6* Ao lands it and flicks switches, powering it down.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren peers up.
<Luci> * Leyaeh sitsback, peering at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Peskov takes note of the black colored ship
<ChadWinters`> I think I want my 5 credits back. It seems like them giving us that stuff was a set up.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Maybe. Anyway, the mobile base is here
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks down to the hanger, inspecting it.
<DeathStar> <Ao> We updated the old ship for you and made it bigger.
* ChadWinters` peers it over as he walks up with Warren.
<Luci> * Sammael nods, stepping out from the engineering bay, looking sober. "Should serve you well."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Good. I plan to have some of our people in this thing most of the time, and if this place is ever compromised, we all might need to use this to move around
<DeathStar> <Warren> Better to not be confined to one location
<ChadWinters`> You stole that from me.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Sure, island boy
<ChadWinters`> You really think that was my only base?
<ChadWinters`> That was my vacation base
<DeathStar> <Warren> I hope not. *He turns on the news, pointing. The island is a smoldering crater*
<DeathStar> <Warren> That happened an hour ago
<DeathStar> <Warren> It's why I ordered this thing to get here now
<Luci> * LEyaeh rolls her eyes. "The island which creepily resembled your old PAX room? Holy shit."
<ChadWinters`> The moment I let you guys find us, it was compromised.
<Luci> Angela> "They're tracking our every move then? How?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well, our old base in the ground was blown up, too
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Hiding at workers.
<Xanatos> (as)
<DeathStar> <Warren> So far this place is safe, but only because it's an open secret.
<DeathStar> <Warren> People know Cheryl lives here
<Luci> * Tabehta squeezes past people and squees, looking over the ship.
<DeathStar> <Warren> But once they know we're below it again
<ChadWinters`> It's a walk a mole effort. Destroy enough found locations and you eventually have them run out of places to hide
<Xanatos> <Kellin> What's a mole?
<DeathStar> 6* Peskov pats the ship
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... Don't they teach you kids anything?
<Luci> Tabetha> "Time to look this over every inch and---" *Sammael flicks her nose*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I came from nothing.
<ChadWinters`> He lived a sheltered life.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Anyway, from now on, we do everything by protocol.
<Luci> Sammael> "No messing with my engines."
<Luci> * Tabetha pouts.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Wait. Protocol? That sounds so boring.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I want to hang onto this base for a while. I also plan to set up a secondary area. Much like when Erevis ran off to LA
<DeathStar> <Warren> When we were being hunted
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "And what about the kids in team 3?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Because somehow, outside the masked aliens, there's a shadowy force hunting us
<Luci> Leyaeh> "Isn't there always?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Fairly soon, I'll be collapsing the three teams. The kids will be learning how to fly.
* ChadWinters` eyes Warren
<DeathStar> <Warren> If they aren't ready by then, they won't be at all
<Luci> * Reese walks up, shrugging. "We're ready."
<DeathStar> <Warren> We older folks have our own agendas to run, and the kids will have to pull their own missions that we can't anymore
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Yeah we older folks have our own agendas. 6He puts his arm on Warren's shoulder.
<Luci> * Reese looks those gathered over.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *eyes Reese* We'll see. *He tosses a dirty rag* We'll see. *He eyes Kellin* I'm not a spanish stripper
<DeathStar> <Warren> Go see Marcus
<ChadWinters`> Hmm...6He seems to be making a mental adjustment. 1"I'll have my team sync up with your plans Warren so we can stay on the same page and hopefully stay a step ahead
<Luci> * Reese catches it.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Naw he still smells like a donkey.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *nods* I'll let you know what structures I make, and you can decide how you want to run. But I fear the hammer might come down soon, and when it does, I plan to be gone
<DeathStar> -END-
<DeathStar> Anyway, like I said, quiet simple Anniversary one
<DeathStar> Nothing world shaking
<DeathStar> Like others
<ChadWinters`> Yeah I was kind of caught off guard to a point
* kalonZombie has left #AnniversarySession19
<DeathStar> I know I planned for 20 to be nuts
<DeathStar> And also since I basically FORGOT
<DeathStar> Until Sat
<DeathStar> I just wrote a simple one
<DeathStar> To set up this year's TAW6 plots
<Xanatos> I call it. 'The time we brought back my characters.'
<Xanatos> Except we also probably killed Drasek, like for sure.
<DeathStar> Who knows
<DeathStar> Maybe
<DeathStar> But yeah
<Xanatos> :P
<DeathStar> I also wanted to address Pandora's Box
<DeathStar> And the implications there
<DeathStar> How it was all Dias' and Marcus' fault all the weirdos are around now
<ChadWinters`> Well we knew that then tho
<DeathStar> True, but since I brought it up
<DeathStar> You know the box is going to come back
<DeathStar> Like I said, since I brought up things, they will play a thing in this yeart
<ChadWinters`> They were the ones that turned the more serious TAWverse to the more crazier stuff
<Xanatos> That's when the wolf and demon happened.
<ChadWinters`> Darkheart
<Xanatos> Darkfart
<ChadWinters`> You're a darkfart!
* DeathStar pushes the agenda for Anniversary 20 forward, then sneaks off, leaving the folder behind
* Xanatos takes it so he can change it all to his characters being awesome.
* Jackieness pads over and lays on the folder
* Kemonohime squints
* DeathStar hides to see who opens it
* Xanatos is rewriting it.
<DeathStar> B-But I ahd cool things in it
<DeathStar> So many cool things
* DeathStar slumps
<DeathStar> Like Colephantus
<ChadWinters`> They're cooler now
<Xanatos> Haha Colephantus. he WAS in TAW before I left btw. I found his bio.
<Xanatos> Not jsut 3 like we thought.
<DeathStar> Huh, oh
<Xanatos> <Marcus> He was working with the earth team, betrayed the team and blew up in a statue.
<DeathStar> I meant the TAW3 one anyway
* DeathStar also shows a glimpse of Slasher, nodding
* DeathStar winks
<ChadWinters`> Hah. You really want nuts
<DeathStar> Yep. Going to have all eras show up. And nut just the Alt/Class that was in 5
<ChadWinters`> Well more mad scientist nuts
<DeathStar> Since if I recall I had to weed some of them out
<DeathStar> Since it made no sense they weren't around all the time
<DeathStar> Like I had X1 do something to get him out of the pic
<DeathStar> Since I was never a good X1
<DeathStar> In the Class Reality
<ChadWinters`> Yeah
<DeathStar> But I plan to do something in 20 where everyone shows up in their prime. Not the 5 versions
* DeathStar nods
<DeathStar> Well maybe some of the 5s
<DeathStar> It is meant to show all eras
<Xanatos> 6* Cole shows up only to shoot that poor angel again.
<Xanatos> He was just trying to watch the gate to heaven! What kind of dickhead would shoot him?
<ChadWinters`> Xan
<ChadWinters`> XAn would
<Xanatos> Well, Xan and Cole are prettttty similar.
<ChadWinters`> You know what I mean
<Xanatos> Growing up while playing this game leaves a lot of me looking back going 'Oi. That was dumb.'
<ChadWinters`> There was plenty of those moments
<Xanatos> Like you've never had them.
<Xanatos> YOU HAVE SIR, YOU HAVE
<ChadWinters`> I konw
<ChadWinters`> know
<DeathStar> I recall me laughingly being mean a few times with false TAW ends
<DeathStar> Like when a shuttle would crash
<DeathStar> And I'd do a false -TAW END-
<ChadWinters`> Oh yeah
* Jackieness has quit IRC
