<DeathStar> Location: Underground Base
<DeathStar> 6* Ren twirls around in her school girl outfit
<DeathStar> <Ren> I like it.
<DeathStar> 6* She poses for Reikana and Kaori
<Luci> Reese> "Well, Ben apparently was handing out uniforms."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "We totally rock this look!" *pose*
<Luci> An'Mi> "Think Reese likes."
* ChadWinters` steps of his teleporter, his backpack over his shoulder. He tosses it on his makeshift bed and steps out of his room after glancing at his wall of terminals
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr slaps a terminal at the slowness, sitting at her seat.
<Luci> Angela> "Okay, this lag has to mean something. I think those scan reports are garbage. Chris, would you look into it more?"
<Xanatos> <Kane> Yes, I'm writing my own scan to collect every executable on the system.
<Luci> * Jennifer has insisted on making sure Ben's neck is okay.
<Xanatos> <Kane> But before I can finish that we need to sort out the door. I'm checking to see how the DNA is activated.
<Luci> * Tabetha sits back, frowning and thinking.
<Nyaomi> * Necia hisses when Jennifer gets close to Ben
<Luci> * Lisa is currently checking reports.
<DeathStar> <Ben> I'm good, I'm good.
<Luci> * Jennifer raises a brow. "I'm his doctor and his sister. Isn't the hissing a little overboard?"
<Xanatos> 6* Saf crosses her arms, peering over Ben.
<Xanatos> <Saf> You sure?
* ChadWinters` steps in to the room with Kane and whos' with him. 1"I'd assume based on scanners."
<DeathStar> 6* Kane's own scan states it looks like a power source is running somewhere in the base, despite the base scanners claiming all is normal
<Luci> Tabetha> "Voice and DNA scan."
<Luci> Tabetha> "Of Venerator or Spade. Which is weird."
<Xanatos> <Kane> Just want to see if the person needs to be present or if we can just use some of the blood we have. 6* He pauses and tries to isolate the location, pointing it out to Angela.
<Nyaomi> <Necia> I don't know. I was copying the red-headed empress.
<Luci> * Angela raises a brow at the report. "A power source...? Hrm..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> From what I can tell, we need the person
<ChadWinters`> It's not that weird if you think about it. It's possible the project was between both of them.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I would rather not involve the children if possible. 6* He notes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm. Maybe that's why they made the cloned kids
<Luci> Jennifer> "If anything I should be hissing at my brother's secret girlfriend." *she grins a bit, showing it's a joke* "You two official yet?"
<ChadWinters`> If both of them though as far ahead as they usually do they might allow some variance in the DNA scans.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Oh. Yes that's a good theory.
<Nyaomi> * Necia makes a face, then peers at Ben. "Am I a secret?"
<DeathStar> <Ben> Pretty sure I've announced it to people
<Xanatos> <Saf> I had no idea. But then again I don't really pay attention to that stuff.
<Luci> Jennifer> "Then I feel out of touch. I didn't even get to do the family initiation ceremony."
<DeathStar> *Ben eyes paperwork, working on the next gen missions now that Sun VI is dead. Ren leans back, sipping some drink with alcohol in it, partying*
<DeathStar> <Ben> I wonder why
<Nyaomi> <Necia> Okay. I'm not a secret." She thumbs up, then lazily leans on Ben, running low on batteries more than normal due to the 'Asylum' protocol buff she used.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Ren, what is that?"
<Luci> * Jennifer looks at her brother and frowns a bit. "Okay, spill, what'd I do?"
<DeathStar> 6* Kane would just detect it somewhere in the base.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Just a little gin. You two want it? *She offers it to Reikana and Kaori*
<Luci> ANgela> "We could scan for energy signatures."
<Xanatos> <Kane> I think we're going to need some people exploring the base. We have an unknown power source.
<Nyaomi> <Necia> I think.... she's joking about hitting me with a car or something
<DeathStar> <Ben> Well, I can just imagine what you might do and Necia is shy
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...would we get in trouble?"
<Xanatos> <Kane> I'll do that but may as well get some poeple moving. 6* He begins scanning energy signatures that come typical from power signatures.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I doubt it
<Luci> Jennifer> *looks to Necia* "Girl's night out later?"
<ChadWinters`> I hear a hidden love is hotter. 6He notes to Ben
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Ok, maybe a little..."
<DeathStar> *Ren pours a tad into both their drinks*
<Nyaomi> <Necia> It's fine, it's fine. After all it was over dinner the other night." She peers at Jennifer through half-lids. "Ah... It's not like he left you out. Ben's shy, too."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *sips* "Wow!"
<DeathStar> <Ben> *cough*
<Nyaomi> <Necia> And you like to take after Warren. It's not like I don't know... I'm bonded to him.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and also includes electromagnetic interference as well.
<DeathStar> <Ben> It seems people are searching the corridor. Time to go look
<DeathStar> *he moves off, carrying Necia*
<Nyaomi> * Necia pauses, then heh hehs.
<Luci> Jennifer> "I know."
<Luci> * Jennifer sighs and follows.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Seems something is up
<Xanatos> 6* Saf hmms and then moves to explore the base hoping for 2 out of 2 on the secret shit hunt.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Huh?"
<Luci> Angela> *sighs and starts running scans for energy signatures as they search*
<DeathStar> <Ren> They're walking around looking for something
<ChadWinters`> Hmmm, maybe their kids will be more enigmatic.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Like what?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I dunno
<DeathStar> <Ren> Maybe Kaori lost something
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Uhhhh... all that for that?"
<Luci> * Tabetha frowns and starts searching as well, sending out maintainence bots to run scans as she does.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus washes sand out of his hair, spitting more.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ugh, ate like a whole sand dune.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Lenneth watches as the movers move out of 1A
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Do not be a stranger
<DeathStar> 6* She nods as the Nue family leaves
<Xanatos> 6* Xan watches them leave, giving a wave.
<kalonZombie> 6*Hi'Saa and the horde wave goodbye
<Luci> Leyaeh> "Well we went from the population of a small city back down to a village."
<kalonZombie> 6*That is kalon's only lie
<kalonZombie> *line
<DeathStar> 6* Godiva rubs her stomach which is getting a little larger. Erevis muses as the family begins to teleport out
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. It will certainly be quieter at night without all the sex
<Luci> Leyaeh> I never thought that sound could collect like a crowd noise until now.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Y'aren't kiddin Revi. Started sleepin with plugs in me ears.
<Luci> * Jaime flusters.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I just wonder if the rumors will start dying down a little
<Luci> Leyaeh> "Which one?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> Hm? Rumors?
<Luci> * Aonee scrubs things clean.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I kept hearing rumors about mother taking over the Empire again. I know the Gitari look up to her but it is getting old
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Me? *she tilts her head*
<Luci> Leyaeh> *looks over at Erevis*
<Luci> Jaime> "S-Sometimes people want something to happen that they all agree on... and Momma did build the Empire."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Mother steals the seat of power from her daughter. It's straight out of a holonet show.
<Luci> Leyaeh> "Kind of out of a drama for sure."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am quite content to sit around and play with my plants. And spend time with family. I cannot see me taking over the Empire again. <Lenneth> I hope not. I would have to get ....angry.
<DeathStar> *She walks off, all smiles*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I would not wish to get on her bad side*
<Luci> Jaime> "Len can be scary sometimes."
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> ...she's a bit scary. You sure she's ours?
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Ha, I like that'n
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, I am afraid she is part of this family
<Luci> * Jaime nods, being directly related.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But her ire is nothing compared to Athena's
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You want to see angry, piss that one off
<Luci> Leyaeh> "Never again."
<DeathStar> *Erevis walks off, using a vulgar word*
<Xanatos> <Xan> WELP, now that all the noisy people are gone I can get back to my power tool!
<Luci> Leyaeh> "That girl gets what she wants." *she muses, lokoking towards Athena's house where Sammael is no doubt spoiling her*
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek mumbles about Athena's wratch, shudders, then moves back to his 'seat'.
<Xanatos> (wrath)
<DeathStar> *Athena peeks out of the grass, then stalks them, like a panther*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Underground Base
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks up from the cafe, watching people walk by with their scanners. Ben holds one, musing
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I cannot believe we are putting off the vault for this
<Luci> * Jennifer just peers around and follows them.
<DeathStar> 6* Adeline and Wade look over, sandwiches with their crust cut off, watch too
<Luci> Jennifer> "I'll head back and get all the analysis done?"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus is grabbing food, he pauses and glances around at everyone looking confused.
<ChadWinters`> It's called priority Zeph. 6He shrugs slightly at that
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Without the two people, I doubt it'll open. Lets find the power source first
<DeathStar> *She walks along, a lot of the base's lower floors cave walls Cran never finished turning into a base*
<Luci> Angela> "Hmm... I'm just paranoid since that crack happened."
<Luci> Angela> "Didn't we seal off something important down here?"
<DeathStar> <Ben> Like what?
* ChadWinters` rubs the back of his neck as he walks beside Zephyr
<Luci> Angela> "That portal to the Tareh world?"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slowly eats a banana, watching them. He holds out a cupcake to the spade clone kids.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "So what do you think they'll find?"
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel eyes Marcus insert the banana in his mouth and just stares
<DeathStar> <Ben> Hm, not recalling it. *as he turns around the corner, he lets a girly scream and jumps into Angela* FUCK ME
<Luci> Reese> "Clone army of Chads."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Do I want to know what is around that corner?
<Luci> * Angela blinks. "First, dear, I'm your aunt. Second... what the heck?"
<Luci> * ANgela tries to peer over.
<ChadWinters`> Apparently a bunch of me. 6He pushes Zephyr around the corner
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is there, looking tired and eyes them, rubbing her eyes
<DeathStar> *Adeline peers at it and takes it, then gives it to Wade
<DeathStar> <Lemon> What do you say? <Adeline> ... thank you stranger
<Luci> Angela> "Hi sis. Know about any secret energy sources down here?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... *she pauses, then peers up* What?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus gives them a thumbs up and winks at Lemon, then moves to see what the girly scream was about.
* ChadWinters` looks at Cheryl. 1"Ready to share with the rest of the class yet?
<Luci> Angela> "Whatever it is is lagging the base systems to death."
* ChadWinters` rests his left hand against his hosleter
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm working on a private project right now. I didn't realize it was taking so much power. *their scanners are also picking up a lot of energy from Cheryl and marks from shots*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...you alright Cheryl?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *she rubs her eyes* Hm?
<Luci> Angela> "Erm... what kind of project....?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You look like shit.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> When was the last time you got some sleep?
<Luci> * Jennifer frowns and peers her over. "I... need to give you an examination, Cheryl."
<ChadWinters`> Is it something I need to shift my attention to sister? 6He looks at her, his eyes locked on her
<DeathStar> *Cheryl peers at her arm* Energy shots. To keep awake. When I emerged from the crystal, I didn't come back right. *she eyes Chad* Funny phrasing
<Luci> Angela> "Back right...? We noticed you've been different but... sis... let us help you okay?"
* ChadWinters` slides his left hand away from his holster. 1"At least part of you is still there."
<Luci> Jennifer> "Why are you using stims instead of getting proper sleep? You have to know that degrades your performance..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We can talk upstairs if you want. And I'm on a time crunch. A promise of sorts
<DeathStar> *she motions and walks up to the command center*
* ChadWinters` eyes Jen. 1
<ChadWinters`> Because we're known for talking.
<Luci> * Jennifer sighs and moves to heads up too. Angela following.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It sucks that you don't feel you're 'right'. But they're not wrong, we can help. 6* He turns to follow Cheryl.
* ChadWinters` glances at Zeph
<DeathStar> *Cheryl studies Marcus, watching him carefully and analatyically, while Zephyr keeps an eye on Cheryl more carefully, lagging behind*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll keep that in mind
* ChadWinters` shifts his hands behind his back holding them there as he walks with Zeph. Cel slows down her pace a bit
<Xanatos> <Marcus> When I came back I felt pretty off myself. But that was more psychologically for me. The real issue I had was dealing with the time lost. It blows.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits in a chair and leans back, musing, tapping her fingers. Then nods as she listens to Marcus
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. I could understand that
<Luci> * Angela takes a seat, but Jennifer stands off to the side gently observing Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, you going to tell us?
<Xanatos> 6* Kane glances up from his station, watching everyone a bit more cautiously than before.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances to Zephyr and then nods to Cheryl, sitting down.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> How to tell us. It's like the bond. Even though Ch--I. There I go. Even though I fixed the bond so it no longer controls the person, it's still like a voice in your head with thoughts and feelings. Yes?
<Luci> Angela> "Erm... is it?"
* ChadWinters` 's hand slides to his left holster. 1"That's not quite what he asked."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Even without some hidden code to control you there's a big influence being that connected to a person.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There you go Marcus. The brain processes a lot of data. That was servered thanks to the Prime Reality and being rerouted, but the feelings and love touching you is still in your head, even if you can adjust like background noise
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But it can never take over
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Now, to my case
<ChadWinters`> The bond goes both ways, whoever is the stronger one can have the influence.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Once but that was changed
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Anyway, this is all background information for what I am getting at
<Luci> * Angela sighs and frowns, thinking about her former self.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> When I emerged, I am having a case where it's like a third set of voices are in me now. And feelings and thoughts. Perhaps the age cap, the damage, or some thing else. Then you have Chii and the bond. The brain can't handle that much information
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks concerned, leaning forward.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So I've been using some of the same line of information Chad has to cure myself
<Luci> * Tabetha tenses a little and peers towards her. "Have you... listened to this third voice at all?"
<ChadWinters`> It's a variable that no party could expect.
* ChadWinters` eyes Tab. 1"IF she did, do you think this conversation would be happening?
<Luci> Tabetha> "That's actually what I'm afraid of."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Insanity is coming. I don't have a lot of time. I would not like to go down that path again. *she seems to be looking away* Anyway at some point I will break.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Let's stop being so suspicious and start thinking about how we can isolate this new voice and help Cheryl.
* ChadWinters` clicks his tongue. 1"I wish you would've talked to me about that but I understand it.
<Luci> * Angela frowns and grumbles a little now.
<Luci> Angela> "I... I don't know if I can still do it but..."
<Luci> Angela> "Cheryl if you'd said something..."
* ChadWinters` 's left hand grabs his gun as Angela talks, his eyes locked on her through the cornersof them
<Luci> * Angela sighs. "Cheryl, one of the abilities I had as an Omega was the ability to sever and repair the bonds of Alpha Dragoons."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Could a telepath work here to help sort it out?
<Luci> Angela> "Another Omega might be able to help if I can't."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Listen, Serena... *she grabs her head in pain and at that moment the walls seem to start going down. Everyone has a flash of the past life Cheryl erased. Angela poked at it a lot in the past to try to remember, and other stuff, but now the wall comes down. The past reality Cheryl shoved away begins to break away like a dam*
<DeathStar> *First Zephyr discovered it after Angela poked it, now it begins to reappear in other's minds*
<Luci> Angela> "What...."
* ChadWinters` grabs his head with his left hand as his right hand reaches for her it's sides holster and fumbles to pull it out
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Shit. *She rubs her head* She's Angela now, not Serena Cran
<DeathStar> *she lifts her hands*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus squints, looking confused.
<Luci> * Angela looks confused. "Yeah... what the heck...?"
<Luci> * Tabetha peers around at everyone slowly, having never known the old Serena well, being born after that time.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl looks up, as having a headache, as if listening to something* ... The glamor that was made broke.
<Luci> Angela> "Must... not be hitting me because of how much I've looked at it before."
<Xanatos> 6* Kane watches them, his brow furrowed, he begins to type a few things, not sure how much Kane doesn't remember since he was pulled through time before the change was made.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Alright....alright. Let's step back. Would telepath's help sort this out? Should we call Erevis and I dunno whoever else.
<Luci> Tabetha> "I could try to help."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> BEFORE we do this, Cheryl do you have any information on who or what the voice may be?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Any information however small may help us be more prepared. More prepared means more safe.
<Luci> * Angela frowns, looking at Chad in case he can't seperate the two identities, being the one reaching for a gun.
* ChadWinters` glances at Cheryl then Angela.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'd rather not comment right now. Things are getting mixed up more and more. After that moment broke, history should have gone back to the old back, meaning ... <Zephyr> Angela should have a hole in her head
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But she's not
<Luci> Angela> "Serena Cran is dead. Glamour or no."
<Luci> Angela> "I accepted that a long time ago. I'll never become her."
<ChadWinters`> Time will tell. 6His right hand moves away from it's holster, most likely his movements reactionary
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then good. *she rises* I'll be downstairs working. If you need me, you can comm me. *she moves downstairs*
<Luci> Angela> "If I do. Chad, shoot me."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So. Tell me. Who all thinks that was Cheryl we were talking, someone else, or some mix?
<DeathStar> *to
<ChadWinters`> A nix,
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus watches her leave and rubs his face.
<ChadWinters`> (mix)
<Luci> Angela> "In both of my histoties, Cherly hasn't called me that name for a long, long time."
<Luci> ((wow)
<ChadWinters`> Family or not, cheryl would've made me feel pain for reaching for my gun
<Luci> Angela> "In fact, only one person did."
<Xanatos> <Kane> My concern. 6* He speaks up finally. "Is that Spade's brain does exists in our base. But the way she talked made it seem like the voice was there at her return. Spade's chance would've been later.
<Luci> Angela> "We've been assuming all this time that Spade was at home in his brain."
<ChadWinters`> Are you questioning Chii's influence over the bond?
<Nyaomi> * A stealthy presence wades around Angela, slowly reaching for her neck
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Guys if it's Spade then all of our telepaths are in danger.
<Luci> * Angela frowns, rubbing her head. "Chiii, if that's you, mind helping us sort this out? I'm scared for her."
<Nyaomi> <Chii> You're so close, but so far.
<Nyaomi> * Chii 'playfully' wrings Angela's neck
<Luci> Angela> "You know what's going on then sis?"
<Nyaomi> <Chii> I'm glad shade is thrown on me for it.
<Nyaomi> * She deadpans at Chad. "Never change, you relic."
<Luci> * Angela pats her head. "Like you'd ever use her."
<Xanatos> <Kane> Can you help us, Chii?
<Nyaomi> <Chii> If I could have, I would have. A long time ago.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It does seem odd that you haven't. So it almost seems like... you're.... Oh
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Your hands are partially tied
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Bingo.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's almost like a return to the old ways
<Luci> * Angela takes a breath. "Cheryl removed the influence."
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Did she? Did she really?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> But the glamour of Serena just broke. How do we know the influence didn't break?
<Luci> Angela> "I... you mean she's....?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Lets assume something
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Nothing here says what was told was all lies
<Nyaomi> * Chii produces a cheshire grin.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Something else came with Cheryl in the crystal
<Luci> Angela> *she frowns a bit more* "Oh gods..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It tied Chii's hands. It talks about a promise. Maybe to someone else, maybe to Cheryl herself, maybe Chii
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Might want to turn off the stove. We're cooking with fire, now.
<Luci> Angela> "...Or maybe a promise to me."
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Angela's not the only one who wants second chances.
<Luci> * Angela shakes her head, looking down.
<Xanatos> <Kane> The crystal...now that I think about it, I don't quite understand how that works.
* ChadWinters` eyes Chii. 1"You'd be the first to know.
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Maybe if I can help more, it'll resolve itself sooner." She rubs her head.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Then along the way they start mixing and going insane
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Time running out
<Nyaomi> <Chii> But I doubt anyone here would allow that second chance. They didn't even want Angela's.
<Luci> Angela> "Because Cheryl's a fighter."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Because I could hear I cheryl in that
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah, there was a desperation there.
<ChadWinters`> A curse of sorts that after taking root started dominating.
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Fufufu. Damn right it's desperate.
<Luci> Angela> "There's no chance we could reason with it? Give it somewhere else to go?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Someone that wants a second chance? There's a lot of people in our past that've fucked us over, right?
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Almost as desperate as Cherry.
<Nyaomi> * Chii nods at Marcus.
<Luci> * Jennifer remains quiet, looking thoughtful.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The way you're talking, if we learn who it is...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh god
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Fufufu.
<DeathStar> *She runs off*
<Luci> Jennifer> "Hey guys? She said that the glamour broke... maybe she broke it?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> DON'T JUST RUN OFF USE YOUR WORDS! 6* He jerks and runs after Zeph
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If Chad is my equal, he knows who it is
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Put your heads together, or Angela might lose her's again
<Luci> Angela> "I'd like to keep it, mind you."
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *is walkign down a corridor, stretching and checking her joints after having some post-battle maintenance work done*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane kneels by his desk and pulls out his rifle, moving after Zephyr.
<Nyaomi> <Chii> This is more annoying than Freyja's games..." She twitches, moving to follow Zephyr with more of a curious look
<Luci> Angela> *follows as well**
<DeathStar> *Zephyr reaches the lower levels where they found Cheryl, eyeing the tunnel system
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Venerator, Cran, Spade. SO Much shit lately has been because of their old shit. Could it be any one of them?!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Who wore a white outfit. Why did Cheryl start out helping us? Who would have an interest in clones? Why help us fight VI?
* ChadWinters` slides to a stop next to Zephry, Ebony out of its holster
<Luci> Angela> "Take out the competition?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And not any run of the mill clones, I'm talking a clone made of Eve and Aya, the clones that wouldn't run out like the one we just gave blood from
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Told you no one'd like the idea of a second chance
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus frowns, most of those guys before his time. But Kane has a very tight look on his face.
<Luci> Jennifer> "Hrm..."
<ChadWinters`> A Cran clone.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Not just any clone. Who could literally put their conscious in her
<Nyaomi> <Chii> The King would be happy to be a Pawn at this point, to no longer be targeted by the Rook and Knight,t hough.
<Luci> * Jennifer makes a call to the PAX, "Hey Cuddles, are the PAX's cloning systems working?"
<ChadWinters`> You honestly believe the original is still limping by?
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Yes?
<Luci> Jennifer> "Can you prepare a clone of someone with relatively low power and strength? Any body should do. But a stable one."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We always theorized Cran kept making his life longer by leaping from clone to clone.
<Luci> Jennifer> "Keep it empty though."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hence why at the end he kept getting crazier and crazier
<Luci> Angela> "And Cheryl qualifies as a target."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The clone degradation took out any semblence of the man he used to be
<ChadWinters`> 6Zephyr would here Chad's knuckles cracking as they tighten aroudn his holster.
<Luci> Jennifer> "In fact... I'm going to send you a simple."
<Luci> *sample
<Nyaomi> <Chii> I think you're approaching this wrong
<Xanatos> <Kane> Perhaps...it wasn't just his concious being moved. Maybe the original conciouses were there as well. A similar thing that Cheryl is experiencing right now.
<ChadWinters`> It makes sense, Zephyr.
<Xanatos> (conciousness)
<Luci> * Jennifer sends a sample. "Make sure it's young too."
<DeathStar> *Cuddles eyes the sample*
<DeathStar> *Zephyr reaches what looks like a dead end*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slows to a stop and tilts hsi head.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Did we go the wrong way?
<Luci> * It appears to be Angelos' Cran's DNA pattern, but without any of the powers it was originally imbued with, a human being.
* ChadWinters` glances at the dead end, his eyes locked tight
<Nyaomi> <Chii> See, if a King feels threatened, it can always move via castling.
<Luci> Jennifer> "If you want to have fun with it, go for it. But keep it low key."
<Nyaomi> * Chii taps on the wall with the back of her hand
<DeathStar> *There's definiately a pwoer source behind the wall*
<DeathStar> *running*
<Luci> * Angela peers around, frowning softly as she remembers something from a while back. "What was she building down here?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns and just does a quick check to make sure Lemon and the kids are ok.
* ChadWinters` moves past Chii, his hands running along the wall as if tracing something.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I don't know. She didn't say.
<DeathStar> *Adeline and Wade are doing patty cake games*
<Luci> Jennifer> "If my guess is right, a clone machine."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I just hope Cran doesn't jump the gun and leaps into a body now without the DNA in the vault. Then again he likely had the DNA from Chad, the clone Eve, and Aya by now
<ChadWinters`> You're thinking Sun VI's game was a long con for Cran. It makes sense
<DeathStar> 6* Chad would find it
<Xanatos> 6* Kane rubs both of their heads and smiles, then quietly asks Lemon to get the kids back home to safety and that he'd explain it later.
* ChadWinters` pauses then pushes his fingers inwardes, his other hand instantly drawing out his Ebony
<Luci> Jennifer> "I've ordered a possible clone for him to leap into if we need to negotiate to get Cheryl free."
<DeathStar> *Lemon nods and carries them off*
<DeathStar> 6* The wall shifts and begins to open. It shifts and slides open
<Xanatos> 6* Kane smiles to her then quickly moves to catch back up with the others.
<Luci> Jennifer> "After all, Angelos and his twin were born with the purpose of producing a perfect clone. They would also have been suitable."
<ChadWinters`> 6Sweat begins to show on Chad's forehead as he the walls slides open
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *hand to the side* then he melts into a buddle
<DeathStar> 6* As it opens fully, smoke pours out and heat pours at, as if the machine is, or just finished
<Luci> Jennifer> "We could graft in the samples. BUt... it's a possibility."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...well this doesn't bode well.
<Luci> Angela> "I hope we're not too late."
<ChadWinters`> Zeph, cover me. 6He states firmly as he pushes foward, moving towards the right wall, his gun trained towards the center
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus waves some of the smoke out of his face as he steps in.
<Luci> * Angela steps in, forming her weapon slowly, looking grateful when a Holy Sword appears.
<Nyaomi> * Chii buries a short, straight blade in the wall in front of Chad as he starts to move forward
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr forms her guns and slides in. there are computer pannels all over, with strands of DNA. Many of them say Error. Error. DNA sample has damage. Error. And it has a list of all the errors. It shows Chad, Eve, and Aya and their patterns trying to be added
<Nyaomi> * Then points another at Marcus and Angela
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Chii?!
<Nyaomi> <Chii> You... don't.. get it
<ChadWinters`> 6Chad seems to duck under it as soon as it starts forming. His eyes locked towards the center.
<Luci> * Jennifer peers around, then back at Chii. "Resist it."
<DeathStar> 6* At that moment, Chii would feel the bond grip release
<DeathStar> 6* Despite it never a true grip
<Luci> Angela> *peers around slowly*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus watches her, then moves to step around, looking to see if she still tries to stop him.
<DeathStar> 6* There are a ton of machines with green gunk and test bodies float in it
<DeathStar> 6* Some lay on a table cut open to test
<DeathStar> 6* Cran kids and adults lay sliced up
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Damn it...
<Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls his pistol up and watches Chii carefully.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers around and finds Cheryl laying on a sofa, a blanket over her
* ChadWinters` eyes darts between them, clearly looking for a certain thing as he moves forward off the wall
<Luci> * Angela rushes over to check on Cheryl.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances around, looking for the Cran clone.
<DeathStar> 6* An emergency teleport has been hooked up, part of the reason for the power drain and in the corner is what looks like a clone machine is hooked up
<DeathStar> 6* Steam shoots out, used 1 minute again. Clothes are on the ground, meaning he ran out naked
<DeathStar> 6* Some skin and blood is on it, cut
<Luci> Angela> "We're too late, aren't we?"
<DeathStar> again ao
* ChadWinters` eyes the remains, his body quickly spinning around and surveying, his face slightly red.
<Luci> * Jennifer frowns and checks Cheryl's vitals.
<DeathStar> *Ren sits up, drinking and oblivious* Looking for panties
<DeathStar> *Cheryl looks strong and healthy*
<Luci> Jennifer> "She's alive."
<Nyaomi> <Chii> You don't get it--
<ChadWinters`> Make sure thats our Cheryl.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane moves over to the emergency teleporter, looking to to see if he can connect ot it and track the last location.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Huh? What?"
<DeathStar> *Zephyr checks* Still in the white clothing*
<Luci> Angela> "Chii, if he left her you should be able to tell us directly now."
<Nyaomi> <Chii> He doesn't care about harming you guys or her. He's just... trying to survive. He doesn't want anything. He just wants to live.
<DeathStar> <Ren> That's what they are looking for
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I think I have mine still on."
<Luci> * ANgela nods. "If that's so... we shouldn't have to fight."
<ChadWinters`> He used Sun VI to put my daughter at risk and draw me out Chii. Clearly you don't get it.
<Nyaomi> * Chii peers at the blood trail from the machine, making a face. "He's desperate. And there's no way he can ever trust you."
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Ever." She eyes Chad. "You, especially."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I doubt it.
<ChadWinters`> You want to have tea and crumpets, knock yourself out.
<Luci> Angela> "And we can use him to figure out if there's anything left to step Chad."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Cheryl didn't return until after Sun VI was in motion
<DeathStar> *She makes them vanish. Kane would see it's still connected and the location is there*
<Luci> Angela> "Come to think of it, yeah, he may have used their motions but there's no way he started it."
<Nyaomi> <Chii> He didn't have anything to do with that. It was just a distraction, convenient. He let you do what you wanted. He even helped you find them.
<ChadWinters`> You can't guess every move on the chess board Zeph.
<Nyaomi> <Chii> I don't have to guess. I was in his head.
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Their head.
<Nyaomi> <Chii> ... Our head?
* ChadWinters` glances at Chii. 1"Find? Cute.
<Xanatos> <Kane> We could follow. 6* he notes, getting the location.
<Luci> Angela> "I really wish they'd come to us."
<ChadWinters`> It might be a dummy location.
<Nyaomi> * Chii smashes her hand through part of the opened machine, snarling at Chad.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Maybe. But Cheryl was Cheryl. I know that. Cheryl was blown up in the mansion by Sun VI and he only got in due to the age thing
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Get over your fucking self.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Or the crystal thing
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If that hadn't happened
<Nyaomi> * Chii rips the door off its hinges and hurtles it to the far side of the lab amongst the other scattered material and debris.
<ChadWinters`> He might have waited longer. 6He looks at Zephyr, his gun slipping in to it's holster
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah...I'm getting Cheryl to medical. 6* He lifts uP Cheryl and begins to move off.
<Luci> Angela> "Okay... okay... we're all calm and collected here, right?"
<Nyaomi> <Chii> Bullshit we are.
<Luci> * Jennifer nods and moves with Marcus, being Medical.
<Nyaomi> <Chii> The only thing more wild and unleashed than Cran is that piece of shit there.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Either way, I do think Cran didn't make the Suns. He took the info for himself and gave it to you
<Nyaomi> * Chii clenches her fingers several times before eyeing Marcus, just watching him, calming as he helps Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stirs and opens her eyes
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What...?
<Nyaomi> <Chii> He's out.
<Luci> * Angela looks worried. "Look... can we not fight? Cran did terrible things to me and my family, I'd love to get a face to face with him. But this violence won't solve our problems."
<Luci> * Angela turns back to Cheryl.
<Luci> Angela> "Thank gods you're okay."
<DeathStar> *Zephyr moves to try the teleport*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Just relax, Cheryl.
<ChadWinters`> Then take me out Chii. 6He shrugs as he looks at Zephyr. 1"I think he took advantage of them."
<Nyaomi> <Chii> It's just you. Finally.
<Nyaomi> * Chii flips Chad off.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane readies his pistol and nods to Zephyr, ready to follow with her.
<Luci> * Angela rises and sighs, peering at the others. "If we're going after him, I'm coming. We take him in, no killing."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah....At first I got control through alcohol but then as his mind started getting worse, I couldn't tell where we began or he started. Fucker. I just know he wanted to hold to his promise to you. don't know why
<Nyaomi> <Chii> I'd say 'let's get a drink.' But for once, you don't need one, Cherry.
<DeathStar> *She closes her eyes and falls asleep*
* ChadWinters` moves over to Kane and Zephyr. 1"I'll cover you both. But make it quick. I have about 2 minutes left."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What promise was that?
<Nyaomi> * Chii pats her hand on Cheryl.
<Luci> * Angela turns to join them, her draconic armor forming about her body. "Probably to make sure Cheryl survived his attempt."
<DeathStar> *They teleport and they appear what looks like in a housing district in PAX City near the Nues*
<Nyaomi> <Chii> I'd give him a second chance. Like the one I was given.
<Luci> * Angela peers about after the teleport.
<Nyaomi> <Chii> He had to promise to never purposely harm or endanger another's life ever again for his own gain.
<ChadWinters`> Kane, work the teleporter, make sure this wasn't a jumping point
<Luci> Angela> "Damnit... there's multiple teleporters here."
<Nyaomi> * Chii eyes the clones. "Obviously a gray area was tread."
<Nyaomi> <Chii> But the promise starts now. Not then.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane nods and kneels beside it, seeing if there was another jump.
<Xanatos> (Unless it was a one way teleport)
<Luci> Angela> "The Nue house has a multidirection teleporter that can even reach the PAX. If he was in Cheryl he'd know that one too."
<DeathStar> 6* It seems it was a one way teleport; where he want to from there, who knows.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Let's do a sweep, someone who knows the Nue's go check with them.
<Luci> Angela> "I can go there. I'm family after all."
<Xanatos> <Kane> He was naked, that should make him pretty obvious?
<Luci> ANgela> "But... I think I should avoid the PAX till we're sure my identity is sorted."
<ChadWinters`> I think we lost him at this point. 6He moves forward, his right hand grabbing Zephyr's shoulder his weight on it
<ChadWinters`> If he chose this place, he had back up clothes
<Luci> Angela> "My predecessor was quite a bitch, after all."
<Luci> * Angela peers around and looks towards the Nue house. "Only real lead I can think of, any other ideas or should I head there now?"
<DeathStar> *Zephyr pats him* Maybe he won't come back. Maybe he actually will keep going. *she keeps her fear that he'll go insane
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> All the way to the beach with a tree
<Luci> Angela> "Would be nice if he really was just going to vanish..."
<Xanatos> 6* Kane turns and moves off to search, glancing around for security cameras, either government or personal household ones that he could hack into.
<Luci> * Angela's keeping it in too, it doesn't help that she can readily remember how he used her in the past now.
* ChadWinters` eyes look normal again as he nods to Zephyr, clearly using her to keep up. 1"He won't, he came back for a reason.
<Luci> Angela> "A second chance is a reason."
<DeathStar> *After 30 minutes or so, Kane finds a butt naked Cran grabbing a trench coat off a Nue line, then fleeing an angry Ori firing fireballs and running*
<DeathStar> *Zephyr helps Chad home*
<DeathStar> -END-
