<DeathStar> Date: 10-637.3.28
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Hess and Kaori lead the team up to the PAX as their jumping off point to find Shretrav's ship. Ao sits before them at her desk, flipping through paperwork
<DeathStar> 6* Ren spins in her chair
<DeathStar> 6* X leans against the wall, messaging her son that is on the PAX. Ao finally looks up
<Xan> <Saf> Ma'am. 6* She nods to Ao.
<Sara> * Kaori deadpans at Ren, handing her a spare handheld she has decided to start keeping on hand for Ren's hyperactive moments... lightly playing a game on her own, too
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel checks his blades briefly then nods to Ao.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Which of you is the team leader?
<DeathStar> *Ren pauses and begins to play
<Xan> 6* Saf motions to Hess and Kaori.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *points at Hess and Kaori* "One of them."
<Sathen> *Ori rides on Rei's shoulders once again*
<Sara> <Kaori> I'm not sure we actually ever decided, but Hess has been higher up the chain of command than I have
<DeathStar> <Ao> Either works. Sometimes good co-leaders lead the team themselves. Lenneth wanted me to update you on a few things
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Could always Rochambeau for it."
<DeathStar> 6* Ao motions at a screen. Being the ship's main security leader/bridge command, outside Leyeah, she typically handles reports
<Sara> * Kaori reluctantly pockets her handheld and peers at the screen
<DeathStar> <Ao> Shretrav's ship of Erusian/Tsivrixsh and other species is in this sector. *she points at a blue dot in a system unfamiliar to Kaori
<Seraphna> * Leyaeh slides in by Ao and crosses her arms.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> I don't recognize that sector of space
<DeathStar> <Ao> This is typically Suisen space, as they are allied with us, but this sector borders Tsivrixsh space here. *she makes the screen bigger, showing a massive area of space that is red*
<Sara> * Kaori squints. "They're in that dot?" she jokes, before it's made bigger, at which point she goes "Oh."
<Seraphna> * An'Mi nods and listens, though her eyes seem distant, it's questionable if she's following this.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Now the Tsivrixsh, Cartel, and Eurisans, the other big three space empires in our world, are allies with us Suisen.
<DeathStar> <Ao> However, the last few months things have begun to get a bit ... odd
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "That word works I guess. I prefer suspicious."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash sits, listening
<Xan> <Saf> Odd?
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> How so?
<DeathStar> <Ao> Each of the three have represensitives on the Suisen racial council, but they are also largely their own entities. Now, races like Earth who only has it's home planet and a few colony planets, typically toe the line if they want our protection/goods/trading with other Suisen races. Others like Gitari are the same
<DeathStar> <Ao> However, with the big three, they control a lot of systems, with a lot of planets. So you can't play with them the same way if they makes sense
<DeathStar> 6* As she talks, Lenneth glides in and sits, watching
<DeathStar> <Ao> So lately, despite the Suisen treaties, there has been word each of the three races are ... moving. Doing manuevers that could be considered warlike
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "With members of the Empire, we have authority, but with Allies, it's a give and take situation."
<DeathStar> <Ao> The Tsivrixsh if you recall, Kaori, went after you all when you tried to save Shretrav and bring her back into their told
<Sara> * Kaori listens politely, quiet
* Nyaomi has joined #TAW-Session70
<DeathStar> <Ao> We can't get straight answers out of the three big, but they seem to be gearing up and becoming more aggressive. So the reason I did this long winded speech
<DeathStar> <Ao> If the Tsivrixsh attack and drag you all into their space, despite it being an act of war, we might ever find out what happens to you
<DeathStar> *not
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Whaaaaaa?"
<DeathStar> <Ao> There's been rumors of each of the races raiding the smaller planets both in the Susien and independent, but we can't get straight answers out of either of their governments. And there's been word that they are clashing with each other. But their area of space is far out
<DeathStar> <Ao> They went after Shretrav once, they might again, with you in the middle
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> So you're saying going after Shretrav maybe risky if they decide to declare a war of sorts during it
<Sara> <Kaori> Sounds ugly, huh... warrior races are always so hard to please
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Basically... yeah. Our protection can't extend into their territories at this time."
<DeathStar> <Ao> Yes. Their leader has been reasonable in the past but things change. We're giving you one of our ships to keep in contact with us
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Wait... isn't the blue girl mad scientist we keep in the basement part of like the Erusian ruling family?"
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "Myria?"
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Yeah, her."
<Sara> <Kaori> That couldn't have sounded more serial killer if you tried.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> "You'd have to ask her."
<DeathStar> <Ao> Myria? Yes. But she's also closed off a bit from politics with her mind. Also, over the past few decades, the Erusians have been opening up their government to the common Erusian too.
<DeathStar> <Ao> New voices can mean new plots
<Sara> * Kaori nods
<Xan> <Saf> So...don't get into a fight with the Tsiv? Or if we do...just make sure we avoid their territory?
<Sathen> *Ori-fox yawns as she listens intently*
<Seraphna> An'Mi> "Better not fight."
<DeathStar> <Ao> That is for you all to decide. Earth has a lot of autonomy
<DeathStar> <Ao> So it might not reflect badly on the Suisen Empire in general
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...what if they, like, claim the teritory that we're in, even though its on our side of the border?"
<DeathStar> <Ao> But that could lead to more conflict. Anyway, your ship is in the hanger
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Basically Earth will not come to resuce us persay if things go sideways.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Use the ship to contact us
<kalonZombie> <Ash> What else is new?
<Sara> * Kaori bows politely
<DeathStar> <Ao> We'll try to get out there
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> That's the most likely concern Rei. 6She nods to her
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Greeeeeeat."
<Xan> 6* Saf nods to Ao and then turns to move towards the hanger.
<Seraphna> * Reese sighs a bit and moves towards the hanger.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel bows slightly to Ao then moves with saf and Reese
<Seraphna> * An'Mi bows and then cartwheels after the others.
<Sara> <Kaori> The Tsivrixsh are warrior people. They'll respond best to people of similarly hot blood and honor. *she notes as they walk along*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *heads for the hangar as well*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash follows along
<Seraphna> * Thena stayed behind at the base for this mission, due to possible conflicts being a member of the royal family. And adorable.
<DeathStar> *Ren jogs along; they come across a large cat like shaped shuttle to take them to space*
<Xan> <Saf> This...is the ship?
<Chaintan> 6*Hess is already inside
<Sathen> *Ori kons softly at Kaori at mention of hot blood*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...cut and all...but seriously... why all the cat styling?"
<Jackieness> cute
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Got a problem with it?
<Nyaomi> * Megum comes to a stop near them, hand on her hip, ears flicking, in her cat-paw sleeved labcoat and adjusts her glasses.
<Sara> <Kaori> ... I'm not sure, but it probably has good stats
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...just... whyyyyyy?"
<Xan> <Saf> It's a little much. 6* She moves to get on it.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> It sticks out badly. It'll be hard to be sneaky in this
<Sara> <Kaori> The cuter something is, the more powerful it is, you know.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "And what if it gets damaged? Poor cat!"
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Well, don't look at me. I didn't design this one.
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> But to scoff at its cat nature..." She hmps.
<DeathStar> *Athena pokes her head out, wearing a mechanic outfit*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess sits up in the back but hides under a paw print blanket with fish trim
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena ordered it to be built in honor of mamma
<DeathStar> 6* Ren and X take their seats, letting Kaori and Hess handle the flying
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> When did you pick up mechanical skills?" She raises an eyebrow.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *takes a seat and buckles in*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash takes his seat
<Sara> * Kaori handles the flying because Hess is hiding :P
<Chaintan> <Hess> I cant be seen like this
<DeathStar> <Athena> This is just cosplay. I had Taiga help
<Xan> 6* Saf takes a seat towards the back.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Like what?
<DeathStar> *X raises a brow*
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> That makes more sense." She walks up the ramp.
<Chaintan> <Hess> the stupid outfit that you sent
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel steps on the shuttle and peers around. 1"This is....even worse I think?"
<Seraphna> * An'mi takes a seat, as dore Reese. Sammael steps out to join Athena.
<DeathStar> 6* All their seats have comfy fur
<DeathStar> <Ren> Now I'm really curious
<kalonZombie> <Ash> ...Is this gitari tail fur?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Did your hair afro out or something?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...what costume?"
<DeathStar> *X leans over and lifts the blanket*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess goes red with paw prints covering her bits
<Xan> 6* Saf idley pets the seat fur, leg bouncing slightly nervously.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship lifts off and auto flying based on Kaori's orders
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel sits down finally, feeling the fur
<Seraphna> * Sammael pets Athena's head.
<Sara> * Kaori blinks, peering back as she wonders what's going on
<DeathStar> <Ren> oh my
<DeathStar> <Ren> Kaori, once that is in hyperspace, you need to see this
<Chaintan> <Hess> don't you Oh my me!
<Seraphna> Reese> "Automated ship...?"
<Chaintan> 6*two ears perk as well
<DeathStar> *Once they leap into hyperspace, Ren waves Kaori over*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I love the new look. *X seems to be trying not to laugh*
<Sathen> *Ori yips loudly*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I have to see this!" *stands and goes to look at hess too*
<Sara> <Kaori> Umm...? *she moves over, not noticing Hess right away* What's going on? *then she looks at Hess and blinks*
<Seraphna> * An'Mi pulls out a small gaming system and starts shooting nazis.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves over and joins in
<Nyaomi> * Megumi walks over to X, eyeing her.
<Chaintan> 6*Hess hisses, twin paw prints over her breast and one peeking between her legs, a tail attached to the bottom of her spine and ears peaking from her head. While not real a damn good imitation
<DeathStar> <X> Ah. Megumi
<DeathStar> <Ren> That looks a bit like Isis' cat suit
<Chaintan> <Hess> where do you find these things!
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Wha... wow..."
<Sara> * Kaori's face reddens, despite having seen Hess naked before, finding this to somehow be interesting by its own right
<DeathStar> <Ren> Me? I didn't do it this time. Did I? *she pauses*
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Did we know she was coming along? 6She points at Megumi
<Sathen> *Ori yips and howls at the sight*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Maybe it was mom
<kalonZombie> <Ash> ...Hess does your boyfriend know you own that?
<Chaintan> 6*Hess leaps at Ren
<DeathStar> *Ren eeps, falling onto her butt*
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> That looks nothing like what I designed." She notes regarding Hess, then peers at X again and nods, holding up a hand unenthusiastically as if to give her a high five.
<Xan> <Saf> Why do you care about her boyfriend? 6* Eyes Ash
<DeathStar> *X pauses, then awkwardly does it*
<Chaintan> <Hess> find me something proper to wear please
<kalonZombie> <Ash> It's called giving her a hard time.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> What I don't understand...is why are you wearing it if you don't want it on?
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash pulls something in his subspace from his wife's emergency stash and hands it to her
<Xan> <Saf> ...right.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Whoa, hey!" *tries to pulls Hess off of ren*
<DeathStar> *Ren pulls out a suit, a space suit*
<DeathStar> <Ren> H-Here!
<Chaintan> 6*Hess huffs and changes as she pulls off the paws, it...looks like a proper suit, as she holds it up
<Chaintan> <Hess> it looks like this when your body heat isnt all over it
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Good to see you not out of your right mind, ultimate weapon.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Now I really think mom made it
<Sara> * Kaori makes a face at the mention of Hess having a boyfriend even though she knows Hess has had such, but mostly averts her eyes from everything politely
<DeathStar> <X> I am sane. *She has her datapad up to S&M&
<Seraphna> An'Mi> "Fuu. Gitari version?"
<Chaintan> 6*Hess presses her hand to it and it doesnt change
<DeathStar> 6* Ren gives Kaori a hug then hides behind Reikana from Hess
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> I'll be back. Going to remove all the frivolous things Sammael undoubtedly added to this ship to please Athena." She rolls up a sleeve, heading into the back.
<Chaintan> <Hess> it seems like it needs to be an even distrubution of heat before the change happens
<Chaintan> 6*she folds it up and hugs onto Kaori
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel scratches the back of her head and decides to just look out the front view port for now
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Anywya, how long until we get to our destination?"
<DeathStar> <X> 1 day and 3 hours based on our course. I believe Athen has gaming and beds in the back
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<Seraphna> * An'Mi skips into the back at the word Gaming.
<Sara> <Kaori> S-So it happened because you were under a blanket? Or...
<DeathStar> *1 day and 2 hours and 37 minutes
<DeathStar> 6* Ren peers between Kaori and Hess, still talking about the outfit
<DeathStar> 6* While X plays space invaders
<Seraphna> * An'Mi battles X in Space Invaders. Somehow.
<Sara> <Kaori> Mrs. X, don't you think that's a little on-the-nose?
<Xan> 6* Saf watches An'Mi and X, a bored look on her face.
<Sathen> *Ori looks over An'Mi and X's shoulders as they play* I think Gor made a game like this when he was four.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel eats a cup of noodles as she sits cross-legged
<Chaintan> <Hess> no, I was putting it on cause it said it was for me then it started to go see through and I couldnt find my clothes...so it was that or be naked
<DeathStar> <X> I am glad someone enjoyd my humor
<Seraphna> Reese> "How is Ash the only other dude on this team?" *he says, quietly, unable to drink on the job*
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> I call it the fanservice principle.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Cause you two were the smarts ones?"
<kalonZombie> <Ash> If you want to get technical I'm not even a dude
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I'm a robitt.
<Seraphna> Reese> "...To be fair. I guess I'm not complaining about my team mates." *he waggles his eyebrows, then sighs unable to keep up the joke*
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Also, for you MMO and shooter types, I've rigged the full-dive units for a private network simulation based upon the data of popular current players to simulate others on the 'network'
<Xan> <Saf> Women are stronger anyway.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Not as strong as robitts!
<Chaintan> <Hess> yeah but the servers are going down for a three day maintainece
<Seraphna> Reese> "...Ash counts as a dude right?"
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Hence why I said simulated private network." She tilts her head at Hess.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> I agree with Saf. Woman are stronger.
<Chaintan> <Hess> why do you think Kaokao and I accepted doing the mission with little effort
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Some of the folks on this staff would go into withdrawals if there wasn't at least hat.
<DeathStar> *the alarm beeps, letting them know they are coming out of hyperspace*
<Chaintan> <Hess> special Fate?
<Xan> <Saf> He flirts like a dude. 6* She says with a deadpan look.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Saf I have a wife. I don't need to flirt.
<Sara> * Kaori blinks, putting away her game and moving to sit at the pilot chair again
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel peers over at Hess. 1"You only agreed to lead this mission because of a server downtime?
<Sathen> *Orihime turns and heads towards the front of the shuttle* Well let's go see what trouble we're about to get into...
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Uhhh... does Ash have... you know... dude parts?"
<Seraphna> Reese> "He seems to keep Mrs. Kumiko satisfied somehow."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> You'll never knooooooooow~ 6*He says in a mock spooky voice as he heads up front
<Seraphna> Reese> "And she's Angelos' daughter so... yeah."
<Chaintan> 6*Hess stands by Kaori as she looks out
<DeathStar> <Ren> *she muses on that*
<Sara> * Kaori gives Hess a little smile
<Seraphna> * Reese sighs and gets up. While An'Mi gets in the last few alien ships. "Victory!"
<DeathStar> *they come out and before them is Shretrav's ship, looking a bit... broken. It floats in space without power and the hull looks a bit dingy
<Seraphna> Reese> "Well... that's not good. It looks derelict."
<Chaintan> <Hess>...thats see better days
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> It would appear we are late. 6She stands up, looking out at it
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...ok... I'll say it. That ship looks like the kind of ship you get murdered on."
<Xan> 6* Saf moves toward the front, frowning at Shretrav's ship, she begins to do a pulse scan of the surrounding system.
<Sathen> Orihime> Somebody used it for target practice.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Seen better days that's for sure.
<Seraphna> Reese> "Any chance anyone is alive on that thing?"
<Nyaomi> * Megumi clicks her tongue. "Really, a second time?"
<DeathStar> 6* The system seems empty of others right now
<Sara> <Kaori> Well... we'll have to investigate, I'm afraid. *she slowly moves them closer, watching for any danger*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I wonder if their comm systems work
<Xan> <Saf> Must've been a hit an run, or they're cloaked. System is empty but us.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Perhaps we should scan the ship for signs of life
<Nyaomi> * Megum moves over to the scans and adjusts them, layering electrical impulse scans over the top of infrared.
<Xan> 6* Saf nods to Cel and begins to do so.
<Seraphna> Reese> "So... who here actually needs a suit?"
<Xan> <Saf> Me.
<DeathStar> *The ship, once scanned, has life support in most of the ship, though parts seem dead. And there's lifesigns on it
<Sathen> *Ori raises a hand* I do.
<DeathStar> *it also has oxygen in the parts that work*
<Seraphna> Reese> "...Already less Dragoons than I thought."
<Chaintan> 6*Hess winces thinking of the suit
<Nyaomi> * Megumi holds her hand out to the screen and pulls it into her arm-- where a wristdevice copies the data.
<Chaintan> <Hess>...I might need....a real one
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> I do.
<DeathStar> 6* As Kaori flies them into the hanger, no automated systems guide them in, meaning Kaori must manually land*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *raises a hand* "I will totally die painfully and horribly if I don't have aspacesuit."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I might actually be one of the few who doesn't need one.
<Xan> 6* Saf moves to pull on her suit.
<Sara> <Kaori> Let's see if I still remember how to do this from the flight sim games
<DeathStar> <Ren> I will too. I mean I'm more wolf fox than dragoon
<Sara> * She says, totally not worrisome
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Locations downloaded." She then taps something on it and a nanodevice-based system crawls over her like a datagrid before solidifying into a zero suit sort of outfit, complete with a mirror-visor helm looking like a motorcycle helmet but with points for cat ears.
<Seraphna> Reese> *nods a bit* So actually most of the team. We'll have to be careful then.
<DeathStar> 6* Prepare yourself Kaori, for the landing OG that will destroy you all if you fail
<DeathStar> *Down, Up*
<DeathStar> 5
<Sara> ud
<DeathStar> *Kaori lands flawlessly*
<Seraphna> An'Mi> "Kaori best pilot."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I could teleport ahead to scout out.
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> *semi-mechanized* Wait, you came to space without environmental suits?
<Xan> <Saf> I didn't fall over getting into my suit, so that's a pretty smooth landing! 6* She zips up
<Nyaomi> * She facepalms. "Alright, which of you need life support?"
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel moves over to suit herself up.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...space suits... supposed to come with the ship!"
<Seraphna> Reese> "Seems everyone but... Ash, myself and An'Mi?"
<Sara> <Kaori> We do have space suits, silly
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Then get those spacesuits out here!"
<Seraphna> Reese> "I haven't been in vacuum much, but Dad tested me on that one."
<kalonZombie> <Ash> And once again, I'm a robitt.
<Xan> 6* Saf slides her helmet on, then activates the air system and takes in a breath.
<Sara> * Kaori opens the spacesuit locker; the walls slide away to show an array of spacesuits in such fascinating colors as gray, and slightly dustier gray
<Sara> *the wall, not walls
<DeathStar> *Ren opens the shuttle door and hops out, bravely testing the air*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... I can breathe!
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Thank you Kaori-- REN!
<DeathStar> <X> Idiot
<Nyaomi> * Megumi marches over and whacks Ren with her two tails.
<DeathStar> <Ren> OW!
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel locks her suit in to place and moves off the shuttle
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *pulls on a spacesuit and then heads out*
<DeathStar> *X suits up and steps out*
<Xan> <Saf> Life support seems to be only partial on the ship, so be careful.
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Get over there and put a suit on, now.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I guess we should head for the bridge? *she trudges in and suits up*
<Nyaomi> * Megumi points over where Kaori is, mom posture imposing on Ren
<Seraphna> * Reese and An'Mi step out.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> It's possible Shretrav may have already been talking. Unless the ship jumped and landed here after being attacked
<ChadWinters`> *Taken*
<Sara> * Kaori gets her suit on and moves out
<Xan> 6* Saf steps out into the hangar, glancing around, is there damage here?
<Seraphna> Reese> "Let's assume she was taken, we need to get the ship's black box to find out the details. If they happen to still be here and alive it can be a pleasent surprise."
<Nyaomi> * Megumi transmits the data on hotspot points to the rest so it shows on their suit HUDs.
<DeathStar> *At that moment, the hanger doors open and a Erusian teenager heads over to them*
<DeathStar> <Erusian> A-Are you the heroes, Hess and Kaori and her superfriends?
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash blinks, looking at the teen
<kalonZombie> <Ash> ...Superfriends?
<DeathStar> *Ren steps over, wobbily in the suit*
<DeathStar> <Erusians> You have super powers, yes? Like the others who helped us in that other world
<Seraphna> Reese> *staring* Umm... we're that group. There's survivors...? Is Shretrav alright?"
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> I...Some us of have abilities
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Identify yourself.
<Chaintan> 6*Hess hurrily changes to catch up with Kaori
<Seraphna> An'Mi> "Mega Powerful. Fire Dragon." *flaps her arms*
<Nyaomi> * Megumi whaps a tail at An'Mi now.
<Sara> <Kaori> Um, I don't know about super, but I'm Kaori
<Seraphna> An'Mi> "Fuuuuu."
<Xan> <Saf> ....superfriends 6* She mumbles to herself, rubbing her temple.
<Sathen> *Ori follows after Hess*
<DeathStar> *The Teen jrks at Megumi* I am Kaoiv. I am a crew member on here. Shretrav wants me to bring you to her
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash follows
<DeathStar> *the awkward Erusian shuffles out and Ren tilts her head*
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> ... Ah. I am Megumi Zhenmei. An old friend of her's, so to speak."
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> What happened to the ship?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Unusual Erusian
<Sara> <Kaori> Is she okay? What's the situation here? *she moves closer, ready to follow, but slightly on guard*
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> I've never ran across one so I'm not sure.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "You'venever seen Myria in the basement?"
<DeathStar> <Kaori> Well, we have been having sabotages lately. First the shields, then the lifesupport was hit, then other critical systems.
<DeathStar> <Kaoiv> She is fine, up on the bridge
<DeathStar> *she shuffles them along down the hallway and stops at an elevator, opening it
<Seraphna> <Reese> Damn, maybe we should get a telepath on our team.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> So someone on your own ship has been sabotaging you? 6She moves after
<DeathStar> <Kaoiv> Yes. We think so. Maybe one of the Tsivrixsh? *Ren and X step in*
<Xan> 6* Saf considers something and then moves to folow the Erusian boy.
<Chaintan> 6*Hess falls in step beside Kaori
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Isn't that the kind of thing you do to divide and conquer?"
<Seraphna> * Reese and An'Mi move along with the others.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> It usually is.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash follows along with Reese
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Feels familiar.
<DeathStar> *they rise up with no elevator music* We haven't had problems like this ever. Our two races got well together. Only the incident with the Aquarius, when it saved us, were we ever strained
<kalonZombie> <Ash> So you see that's why I'm neither male or female...
<DeathStar> <Ren> Lalalala
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Last time this happened, though, it wasn't myself, it was Chii Mizukaze that aided her.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *just stares at Ash*
<DeathStar> *the doors stop and get stuck, opening half-way. Kaoiv strains to open it*
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel moves to help open the door
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash moves over to help, using his robitt strength
<DeathStar> *It opens and the bridge looks in disarray. Shretrav is there with Kre'trav and both turn to the group.
<Xan> 6* Saf bows her head to the two.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Hess. Kaori. Come in. It is a good sight to see you and your team
<DeathStar> *the bridge crew keeps on working, deligently, while the two leaders sit in the center
<Sara> * Kaori blinks, slightly surprised that they're both there, but quickly keeps her composure and bows politely before entering properly
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel nods to the two then glances around at the bridge crew
<Sathen> *Ori moves in and looks around, her two tails waving behind her*
<Chaintan> <Hess> pleasure is ours
<Sara> <Kaori> Yes. Thank you very much for welcoming us.
<Seraphna> * Reese peers around the bridge quietly.
<Nyaomi> * Megumi removes her helmet, tossing her hair.
<Seraphna> * An'Mi looks at the computers with interest, fingers wiggling.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Megumi. It is good to see you. *Kre'trav studies them, half Tsivrixsh and Erusian as she nods to them*
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> It sounds like you have a sabotage issue
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Hello Shretrav.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> I am sure Kaoiv informed you but since we last saw when you rescued my granddaughter, things have been detoriating here
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...soooo... what happened here?"
<Sara> <Kaori> Yes... the ship seems like it has had better days. *she says delicately*
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> It started small at first, taking our visual systems, then they kept ramping up. They stranded us rather near the Tsivrixsh border
<Xan> 6* Saf studies the two for a moment, then listens closely to Shretrav
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> If you don't mind." She moves over to some of the panels and invites herself to start examining what she can pull up on the ship and its mechanical and systemic status.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Ummm... is there any way that the saboteur could have snuck on board?"
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> We had to shut down the communication system lest someone broadcasts our location
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> I image they took out the video recording systems to hide their movement?
<Xan> <Saf> How many are aboard?
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> We believe so, yes. *MEgumi would see things are fried under it*
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> *she grabs a manifest* Cramming all our people into one ship or dropping them off on planets like we did originally, we still 1,090
<Seraphna> Reese> "We'd need a fleet of our shuttle to get them all off."
<Sara> <Kaori> A lot of people to check... and there's a chance that they are not working alone.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> How damaged are the ship's engine systemS?
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> They can be repaired, but it will take a week. I think that was what they were looking to
<Sathen> Orihime> Could we use the shuttle to push this one farther from the Tsiv border?
<DeathStar> <Ren> This ship is a larger mass then ours but being space..
<Sara> <Kaori> Technically, we can, if we can give them even a bit of momentum they will keep moving to an extent
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> It would most likely strain our ship to the point it would be vulnerable
<Sara> <Kaori> And from there, we should contact the PAX
<Sathen> Orihime> I may not be a scientist, but we're in space...does mass really matter in terms of ship size?
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> Well, if you want me to take you to the first sabotage sight if you like
<Seraphna> An'Mi> "Could look. Find clues."
<DeathStar> <X> I will take a few people to the shuttle to enact the plan and contact the PAX. I'll leave the mission here to you and Hess
<DeathStar> *X grabs Ash and walks off*
<Sara> <Kaori> Thank you, Mrs. X.
<Sara> <Kaori> Let's see this sabotage site.
<DeathStar> *Kre'trav nods and leads them to the elevator*
<Xan> 6* Saf steps aside so Kre'Trav can lead the way, then follows after.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Mass still matters. High school physics."
<Chaintan> <Hess> be safe grammie
<DeathStar> 6* Ren hurries along and Kre'trav hits another floor
<Jackieness> <Reikana> 8moves with the group into the lift*
<Sathen> *Orihime follows along*
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel moves with them
<DeathStar> 6* Skipping some walking, after a few minutes they arrive at the main system area, where the engine core can be seen, as well as the shield and other critical systems, each on differ levels of the engine core. 5 in total, with the massive core in the center. Lifts go up and down as well as ladders
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash whistles "Impressive
<Sara> <Kaori> You'd think they would have skipped the formalities and just hit the core, yikes...
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> We put security up to keep them from coming back in, but that meant guards in the center, as well as the 5 different floor entries as well. We found them all unconscious come morning. Again and again
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> They did sabotage it a little but if the core were to go into meltdown
<Seraphna> Reese> "So you don't just have a sabetour, but a skilled combatant."
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Hmmm. That's an interesting tactic.
<Xan> 6* Saf slowly walks along, glancing around at all the possible entry points.
<Sathen> Orihime> Either that or they pumped something in through the air circulation system.
<Xan> <Saf> Where we the guards posted?
<Sara> <Kaori> There's a lot of ways to knock someone out...
<Sara> <Kaori> It's a rather dishonorable method if they didn't actually fight, though. *she notes*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "If they blew the core, they would die too."
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> I will be back and bring you some of the system workers.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> If they were good enough to take some of the systems out, they'd be able to fool the air systems
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> They can tell you more about what was done. Feel free to look for clues
<DeathStar> *she steps out*
<Sara> * Kaori peers around slowly, looking for signs of particularly bad damage
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think she said they were at every entrance and probably the lifts too
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Any of you good at the bodyguard role?
<DeathStar> <Ren> To keep people out. That's a far distance so it had to be gas I think
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> It would make the most sense. If it was a physical attack, there would be markings
<DeathStar> 6* Kaori would spot many of the systems damaged. It almost looks like an energy sword was driven into them, based on stab and cut marks
<Sara> <Kaori> If they used a method like gas, it's possible this wasn't done by a Tsiv.
<Seraphna> Reese> "I can take a few blows I guess."
<Xan> 6* Saf climbs up to check out one of the higher levels.
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> I'm going to start reversing this damage, but that's going to make me a target, and I can't really focus on that at the same time.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> You assume that all Tsiv are the same.
<Sara> <Kaori> I only said it was possible -- not certain.
<Sara> <Kaori> Someone take a sample of this?
<Chaintan> 6*Hess moves in to take a sample
<DeathStar> *3 guards walk in as well as an engineering. The Tsivrixsh guards sneer at them, looking annoyed at their presence*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess frowns and keeps working
<Seraphna> * Reese frowns a bit and peers at him.
<Nyaomi> * Megumi thumbs her nose at the guard sneering, despite a deadpan expression
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Wow, someone has a bee in their bonnet."
<DeathStar> *Hess' sample would need to be run under a datapad for more detailed, but it seems to show energy damage with the swipes, but it's not like Darien or Death Star's sabers*
<Nyaomi> * Megumi then closes her eyes and holds out her hands toward the cores, starting with a molecular examination.
<Sathen> *Orihime moves over to lean back against a wall watching the others*
<DeathStar> <Erusian Engineer> C-Can I help with any information?
<Seraphna> Reese> *in perfect Tsiv* "You believe we are not needed here?"
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> This is an internal matter. Shretrav dishonors us by bringing in outsiders
<Seraphna> * Reese nods. "We did not intend to besmirch your honor. We still rely on your strength to keep order."
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Sure." She says without opening her eyes. "Can you tell me the reactive combustion levels in this kind of reactor and what measures are used to offest the heat discharge per cycle?
<Xan> 6* Saf peers down at them from her spot ont he catwalk above she's checking for similar damage as what they saw below.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel moves around, peering at things
<DeathStar> *The Erusian kneels and begins to give Megumi information. After a bit he begins to look droopy, as do the Tsivrixsh.
<Nyaomi> * Megumi opens one eye, examining his depreciated stature.
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> What's wrong?
<Sara> <Kaori> The true dishonor, *she stands to look at them* is in those who would use cowardly tactics to fight all of you from the outside. We will prove our own honor in whatever means should we have to, but know that our own honor would also be besmirched if we allowed this to go on.
<Seraphna> * Reese peers around. "Gas? I'm not breathing so..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hm. *Saf would spot what looks like a footprint on the ship's structure, so it must have been something that burnt into it*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *pulls on her helmet and filters* "Maybe its the gas again!"
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh and Erusian drop. Whatever it is, it seems to affect them too. Anyone with any skin showing would begin to feel sluggish*
<Sathen> *Orihime pulls her own helmet back on*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Ungh. I think I'll take a sit too. *she flops on her butt*
<Seraphna> * Reese grumbles. "...Regretting no suit now..."
<Seraphna> * An'Mi blinks and frowns. "Can... try burning?"
<ChadWinters`> 6Saf peers at everyone beginning to drop. 1"Something is off. It seems that everyone is starting to drop.
<Nyaomi> * Megumi clicks her tongue and puts her helmet on, focusing on stabilizing her metabolism internally.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "ITs the gas that they used before!"
<Sara> * Kaori tries to take a sample of the air
<Xan> (*eyes chad playing saf*
<Seraphna> Reese> "It works on the skin... I think..."
<ChadWinters`> (Cel)
<DeathStar> *At that moment the doors seal and lock them in*
<Nyaomi> * Megumi flips the lolipop she's always sucking on in her glove, when not consuming it she's said her metabolism goes into overdrive.
<Seraphna> * Reese focuses and tries to have his healing sustain him.
<DeathStar> *Kaori would detect a nerve agent. A deadly one if used in too much*
<Seraphna> * An'Mi looks around. "...Where Kre'trav?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh my. The doors are shutting. *she flops against Hess*
<Sara> <Kaori> Nerve gas. It really is that kind of old trick...
<Chaintan> 6*Hess makes a face at the doors locking
<Xan> 6* Saf investigates the foot print, scanning the pattern to get as much of the boot print as possible.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel peers towards the doors. 1"The doors just locked I think
<Seraphna> * An'Mi tries to reach the door.
<Chaintan> 6*Hess checks Ren
<DeathStar> *Saf gets it, even as the nerve agent begins to reach her if she has no helmet*
<DeathStar> *Ren seems out of it and needs her helmet on*
<DeathStar> *Her skin clammy*
<Chaintan> <Hess> Give me her helmet now!
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Someone get me a scan on the air composition now.
<DeathStar> *The door seems to be electronically sealed from the other side*
<Xan> 6* She's still in her suit, she blinks at the commotion below and peers below.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *grabs Ren's helmet and runs it over to Hess*
<Xan> <Saf> What's going on?
<Sathen> Orihime> So we should expect that in a bit the saboteur will come once the air clears?
<Chaintan> 6*Hess smacks Ren's cheek before cramming her helmet back on and securing it
<Chaintan> <Hess> Ren is being affected by it
<Sara> <Kaori> Maybe... but try to help the others. They're less well off than we are. *she feels along the walls, trying to see if she can find where it's coming in*
<DeathStar> <Ren> *coughs and opens her eyes. At that moment, there is a low ticking sound that Kaori and those with wolf ears can hear*
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Doubtful. This seems more like it might be designed to take us out. 6Shes moves to the door, eyeing the controls for it
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Even if we're fine, the rest will die if we don't reverse the effects.
<Seraphna> * An'Mi tries to touch the door and override it.
<DeathStar> 6* Kaori would see it's coming from the top vent*
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Anyone have a grenade on them?
<Xan> 6* Saf climbs down, sharing the boot information to all the team member's datapads. She moves over to the door, peering it over.
<Sara> * Kaori's ears twitch and she immediately turns toward the ticking. "The gas is coming in from up there. I don't think explosives are a good idea or I would have done it already..." She steps toward the ticking
<Seraphna> * An'Mi uses her cyberbug ability.
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> That's not what I want it for
<Sathen> *Orihime's ears twitch toward the sound* Why do you need a grenade when you've got a couple of Pyro's here?
<DeathStar> <Ren> I hear something. *she mumbles sluggishly, standing. Kaori would see on the back of a console an explosive set there*
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> because it's the chemical reaction I need.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Hear what?"
<Sara> <Kaori> Hey, does anyone know bombs better than I do? Because I just found a bomb.
<DeathStar> *The door begins to unlock slowly and rises up a foot*
<Seraphna> * Reese, since he's exposed, does his best to keep himself stable.
<Nyaomi> * Megumi moves over and eyes the bomb.
<Seraphna> * An'Mi whimpers and burns some extra energy to try and get the door up more.
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Well, guess I don't need the grenade anymore.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel tries to reach the bottum of the door and try to pull up
<Xan> 6* Saf grabs the bottom of the door and strains trying to lift it up more with her cybernetic limbs doing most of the work.
<DeathStar> *Suddenly blue hands grab the doo door. But to help or hinder?
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Shuttle
<DeathStar> *X flips switches, pushing the shuttle against the ship. The engines begin to whine with stress, even as X talks to the PAX
<kalonZombie> <Ash> We're gonna need better engines to pull this off.
<DeathStar> <X> We'll get it. *the massive ship begins to move and drift, even as they hit the limits. At that moment, Ash would see on their sensors something coming*
<kalonZombie> <Ash> X, we've got incoming.
<DeathStar> *X leans over* We have two massive Tsivrixsh ships coming and our shuttle needs cool down time. Go warn the others
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Will you be okay by yourself for that long?
<DeathStar> <X> I am the ultimate weapon. I might not have Hess' bad luck but I will make my own
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash nods and starts teleporting to the others to warn them
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Nyaomi> * X might notice the engines and systems have better responses than initially classified due to the extraneous Megumi cut out.
<DeathStar> *The doors lift up, even as Megumi would see the timer is down to 50 seconds. Shretrav and Kre'trav are there, holding it up
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> We have a bomb in here also. 6she notes to the two
<Seraphna> * An'Mi crawls through, and Reese dives through, groaning and slumping over.
<Seraphna> Reese> "Who's... disarming it?"
<Xan> 6* Saf makes sure to keep the door open, so those doing bomb defusal can do it.
<Sathen> *Orihime moves over towards Megumi* Foxhole it out at 5 seconds?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "If only we had Ash to teleport it outside!"
<Nyaomi> * Megumi hums, studying it in depth to memory before she starts rearranging its wires and programming-- in her head. To others she's just staring at it.
<DeathStar> *At that moment Ash appears*
<DeathStar> 6* Ren grabs the soldiers and begins to drag them out, stumbling due to their weight
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *moves to help Rei*
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Guys, we've got incoming.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel helps Ren
<Nyaomi> * Megumi holds up a hand, forcing some of the air near her fingertips into a contained sphere above her palm. "Orihime, white flame, please."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "We have a bomb!"
<kalonZombie> <Ash> Where?
* Retrieving #TAW-Session70 modes...
<Sara> <Kaori> Here!
<Sara> * She points behind the console where the bomb is
<DeathStar> *15 seconds. Will that flame arrive in time?
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash teleports over to it "Want I should teleport it out?
<Sathen> *Ori holds out her hand and creates a small jet of white flame a few inches in length*
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Nope, this is perfect. Going to create a filter.
<DeathStar> *With Ren and the others get out int othe hallway*
<DeathStar> *9 seconds*
<kalonZombie> <Ash> ...Or I could teleport it out and onto one of the incoming ships.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Do something! Stop showing off!"
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Incoming ships?
<Nyaomi> * Megumi 'cooks' the sphere in Orihimes flames, making it illuminate as the particles inside expand, but she keeps it contained, resting it in the bomb as she rearranges some of the wires then taps into it with her bracelet, tapping away.
<DeathStar> *it stops at one second*
<kalonZombie> <Ash> I said we had incoming didn't I?!
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Oh. Right, you people that are explosion-proof. Should probably hide behind the door.
<Seraphna> Reese> "Well... shit. Now all we have to worry about is the incoming Tsiv Fleet."
<Sara> <Kaori> Please, hurry, do something!
<Sara> * She says with frustration at the wait
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> What happened here? <Kre'trav> I only left a moment
<Nyaomi> * Megumi resets the timer to around seven seconds and starts for the door they opened.
<kalonZombie> <Ash> GUYS. WE. HAVE. INCOMING. TSIV. SHIPS.
<Seraphna> An'Mi> "Nerve gas. Door was sealed."
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Shoo, shoo, outside a moment.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Ash said the Tsivirxsh are moving to intercept!"
<kalonZombie> <Ash> IT. IS. TIME. TO. GO.
<Sathen> *Orihime sighs before following after them*
<Seraphna> Reese> "We heaaaaard you."
<DeathStar> *Ren watches Megumi run by with the bomb*
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Someone was prepared for this moment It would seem
<Xan> <Saf> Ash. We can't go anywhere, shut up.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> I understand if you all decide to abandon us now
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Shretrav.
<Seraphna> Reese> "Fuck that, ma'am."
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Does the event overhead feed into the ship's circulation entirely?
<Nyaomi> vent*
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> It should, I think
<Xan> <Saf> ...so the nerve gas made it throughout the ship?
<DeathStar> *1 second again*
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> There's probably gates and valves to shut off sections though
<Seraphna> * Reese grumbles and stands slowly, stomping feeling back into his legs. An'Mi shivers and pouts.
<Nyaomi> * Megumi nots and rears her arm back... then throws the reconditioned device at the vent.
<Sara> <Kaori> Guys, there isn't a lot we can do on our own in just that little shuttle to begin with. If we leave now, we're in even worse trouble than if we're here. Do you think those ships are hostile to you, milady?
<DeathStar> <Shretav> It ---*she winces at the explosion* was only in this part of the ship. I came running when your lifesigns flickered and met Kretrav on the way
<DeathStar> *Shretrav walks with Kaori* They seem to be coming in to grab the ship
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> I made a binder for the arsenic-based molecules.
<DeathStar> <Shrerav> Not attack
<Seraphna> * An'Mi looks at Kretrav quietly.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "We need to do something!"
<Sara> <Kaori> I guess we'll have to talk to them. *she says with a bit of a frown*
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Temporary. We should probably reveal whomever is trying to kill everyone soon.
<Sathen> Orihime> So we should go down and meet them and 'disuade' them from coming on board?
<Xan> <Saf> Grab the ship?
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> We could fake a core leak and make them believe the ship is irradiated
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> They want the people on it, due to their protesting I am an agent of the Empire still. I believe their goal is to pull us off with our pwoer being low
<Seraphna> Reese> "They'll just tow the ship."
<DeathStar> <Shretrave> Anyway, I will be on the bridge. I will let you all formulate your plan
<DeathStar> *She hurries to the bridge*
<DeathStar> <Ren> So what is the plan, Kaori? *she studies her*
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Is it possible to bring our ship back in and hook it up to the the main core to act as a secondary core?
<Sara> <Kaori> With any luck, X will have contacted PAX and we'll have some sort of help on the way...
<Sathen> Orihime> It took us over a day to get here, won't it take them the same?
<Xan> <Saf> Yeah, this is on us.
<Seraphna> Reese> "Unless it's the actual PAX or Ao's fleet, we're gonna be in the shitter when it comes to a fight. Tsiv don't give up, too honorable to... wait..."
<Chaintan> 6*Hess nods quietly, frowning a little with concerned
<Seraphna> * Reese frowns.
<DeathStar> <Ren> They must have someone nearby or Ao wouldn't have mentioned it. As for the shuttle, it depends on it's power level. This ship is big
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Couldn't I just destroy them?
<Xan> <Saf> That's an act of war.
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Or is this another delicate diplomatic procedure?" She squints.
<DeathStar> <Ren> *just eyes Megumi oddly*
<Seraphna> Reese> "This isn't like them. Sabatoge is an act of cowardice, it's about as dishonorable as it gets without a formal call for attack."
<DeathStar> 6* Kre'trav seems to have slunk off while they talk
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> What, it's a valid option.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Huh... where did Kretrav go?"
<Seraphna> * An'Mi frowns. "Kre'trav gone again."
<Nyaomi> * Megumi huffs, muttering about lowering Ren's oxygen.
<Sathen> Orihime> I think between An'Mi and I we could pull off some suitable pyrotechnics to convince any potential boarding parties to leave peacefully.
<Seraphna> * An'Mi, who had been staring at her, points in the direction she went.
<Xan> <Saf> Faking a core breach might work, unless the sabotuer informs them otherwise.
<Sara> <Kaori> I hate to say it, but there is a chance that she's the one who's doing this...
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Huh.." *peers down the direction that An'mi indicates*
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> It would be better than nothing would it not Ren?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Kre'trav? The granddaughter of the leader?
<Seraphna> An'Mi> "Not believe coiincidence."
<Seraphna> An'Mi> "Left just before."
<Xan> <Saf> Huh? That's stupid. Why would she do that?
<Seraphna> An'Mi> "Why she leave?"
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Or se thinks wer're full of it because we're being so indecisive and is about to do somethign stupid!"
<Seraphna> An'Mi> "Supposed to guide."
<Chaintan> 6*Hess scowls and starts rippling to check where she might have gone
<Seraphna> * Reese sighs a bit and cracks his knuckles. He comms the shuttle. "X?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I guess i'll see if I can help with the shuttle if that's the plan. I'm not my mother or sister but I have picked up a few things. *she moves off. Hess would find Kre'trav's room nearby, locked*
<Sathen> Orihime> So then...what's our gameplan?
<DeathStar> <X> Yes? I am staring at the enemy right now, hiding myself. They are moving in to grapple you all
<Xan> 6* Saf shakes her head, deciding to go help Ren.
<Chaintan> 6*Hess forms a ripple into the room
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> If we can atleast power up the shields that would be useful.
<DeathStar> 6* Hess would find a sword tied up on the bed, as well as a terminal, and closet
<Seraphna> <Reese> "Ren is headed your way. We may have found the sabeteour. Any word from the PAX?"
<DeathStar> <X> They are sending a nearby fleet. ETA 20 minutes
<Chaintan> 6*Hess reels and enters cautiously
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I'll... do something..."
<Sathen> Orihime> Alright, so we head down and keep the Tsiv from entering the ship?
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Doing so may be seen as an act of war.
<DeathStar> *the sword seems to be alive, wiggling in it's restraints. The room seems empty, but who knows what Kret'rav could have hiddwen here
<DeathStar> <X on comm> I doubt they wil lenter. They will just pull you all along into tsivrixsh space
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *comm* "Anything that cna be done to cut off their grapples?"
<DeathStar> <X on comm> I am trying to get the shuttle rebooted thanks to the upgrades then I will surprise them
<Seraphna> Reese> "So we need to keep this ship out of their space."
<ChadWinters`> <Cel on comm> If you can take out whatever they are using to pull us.
<Seraphna> Reese> "If you can get a clear view on the grapple beams, maybe we can upset them."
<DeathStar> <X> That's the plan. Ren and Saf are here now. I'm going silent
<Chaintan> 6*Hess hesitantly tries freeing it
<Sathen> Orihime> Rei, can you create a gravity well behind the ships?
<DeathStar> *Hess gains a Gladius. It shines, and turns into a girl*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess reels at the change
<Sathen> Orihime> One that their engines can't overcome?
<Seraphna> * Camilla looks about, then at Hess, frowning. "What... Kre'trav..."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I can... bring out Noire... I cna increase the shiop's mass alot... maybe keep them from towing us for a bit."
<Seraphna> * Camilla is dressed in what looks like medieval armor, Legion make if Hess could tell.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> If your ability is that strong could we not use it to pull us a way?
<DeathStar> *the Tsivrixsh guards stand guard over them, sulking at being KOed thit way*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I can't move my dark matter once its been dropped."
<Chaintan> <Hess> um, I'll ask about...this, later 6*gesturing to Camilla as she moves to the terminal to check out
<DeathStar> *the terminal looks innocent, data sheets and everything. nothing evil there*
<Sathen> Orihime> I guess we should give it a shot, all we need to do is buy time.
<DeathStar> *They can hear shooting outside, X making her move*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess looks for communications, incoming and outgoing
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *takes a deep breath and then lets Noire loose!*
<Seraphna> Camilla> "...She's not herself. You must spare her if you can."
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> It sounds like X has made her move.
<Seraphna> * Camilla points to a spot in the wall.
<Seraphna> Camilla> "Comms." *she mouths*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *yawns and stretches* "Finally, Reikana let me out to play!"
<Chaintan> 6*Hess turns to Camilla and slowly nods, checking the indicated spot
<Sathen> *Ori glances at Noire* You know what we were talking about?
<DeathStar> *Hess finds a Tsivrixsh comm, that is on a secret channel to them. When she touches it, a Tsivrixsh voice speaks
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh voice> Agent, have you disabled the agents from Earth?
<Seraphna> * Camilla shivers and peers at Hess. She looks worn, tired, and a little broken.
<DeathStar> *As noire forms, a railgun blast fires at her back*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "All her new self-confidence means she won't me let me take control... what?!"
<Seraphna> * Reese raises his gun and fires back along the path of the blast.
<Chaintan> 6*Hess swallows, before attempting to answer1 "Working on it"
<Sathen> *Ori grabs Noire and jerks her to the side, hoping to avoid the railgun blast*
<DeathStar> *The three Tsivrixsh gurn, getting their xvashes out. Standing there is a masked figure in Erusian body armor*
<DeathStar> *the armor takes Reese's balst*
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel turns as the railgun blast goes off, his hands pulling out her blades.
<Chaintan> 6*Hess pockets it and grabs Camilla's hand
<Seraphna> * Reese keeps firing at it without hesitation.
<DeathStar> *The railgun is aimed at Reese, even as Reese damages the body suit, making it glow from absorbing blasts and fires at him*
<Seraphna> * Camilla blinks, dazedly, taking it and sparking a bond with her.
<Chaintan> <Hess> we'll rejoin the others 6*once more forming a ripple and pulling them both through
<DeathStar> *Hess would appear in the middle of a fire fight*
<Seraphna> * Reese grunts and throws himself to the side.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash forms his buster, charges it, and aims at Railgun McFuckface
<DeathStar> *The attacker reaims t Noire on the ground and charges, even as Ash hits. The suit glowing bright red, near it's limit*
<DeathStar> *And fires again*
<Seraphna> * Camilla looks alarmed as they appear, forming two longswords in her hands.
<Chaintan> 6*Hess ducks them both down and shouts to Kaori
<Chaintan> <Hess> WE HAVE A SITUATION
<Sara> * Kaori pulls out her cannon, glancing around to see which target will move next, but is distracted and looks back toward Hess!
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel arcs electricity again and moves in at a faster pace at the attacker
<Seraphna> * An'Mi holds up her hand and uses the glowing heat of the suit to damage it further.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ash teleports close to Railgun McShitheel and tries to punch him in the throat
<DeathStar> *the attacker aims at Kaori and begins to fire, even as the defensive suit sparks out*
<Sathen> *Ori pops a foxhole beneath Noire and herself, dropping them in the hallway 10 feet back*
<DeathStar> *The attacker reaims at Ash, preparing to fire
<DeathStar> *3*
<DeathStar> *2*
<Seraphna> * Reese grunts and picks himself up, and fires at the attacker again.
<kalonZombie> 6*Teleport awaaaaaay
<Chaintan> 6*Hess fires a holy volly at them
<Nyaomi> * Megumi holds out her hand and begins making the particles on the Erusian armor vibrate so they begin heating up like an oven
<DeathStar> *the attacks hit now with the suit down and the attacker grunts in pain. They begin to run off*
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel takes a step forward and hurls an electric charged blade at the attacker
<Seraphna> Camilla> "No no don't kill her... don't... not herself... no..."
<Sathen> Orihime> Noire, gravity well outside the ship to keep it in place for twenty minutes.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...nnn... watch my back!!!" *slams her hands to the floor and channels Dark Matter through the structure of the ship and opening a full on singularity to hold the ship in place*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT
<Seraphna> * Reese shifts his aim and fires at her leg to try and hamstring her.
<DeathStar> *X flies them letting Ren and Saf fire at the grappling hooks*
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> What..
<Xan> 6* Saf aims with her weapons, firing when in range.
<Xan> (shuttle weapons)
<DeathStar> <X> They notice us. They prepraing to launch fighters. *she notes, even as the second hook breaks off*
<DeathStar> *Ren works on the engines and power, tying to give them enough*
<Xan> <Saf> We won't last long unless you're an amazing flyer.
<Xan> (pilot* Flyer, ha)
<DeathStar> <X> *beams and turns* Thank you for acknowledging me
<DeathStar> *she notes, even as a dark matter forms near them*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh boy. Noire.
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes the gravity well barely affecting the enemy ships, mostly slowing them down and grabs her comm*
<Xan> <Saf> You keep my rear alive I'll acknowledge you any time you want. 6* She holds off on firing at the ships, until X tells her to do so since it can cause more issues diplomatically.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hey. Team. If any of you can form darkmatter holes, we need more
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> OH YES, BECAUSE WE CAN ALL DO THA---
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> ... Well, I can
<DeathStar> <Ren> Aw.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hess
<Xan> <Saf> I mean if they fly into them that's totally an accident and can't be blamed on us, right?!
<DeathStar> <Ren> How big can you make ripples?
<DeathStar> <X> Sounds legit to me
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Rippling?
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Hess, come here.
<Chaintan> <Hess> pretty big? but it'll sap me quick after three
<DeathStar> *X takes out another hook*
<DeathStar> <X> Well, if you can add a ripple between the enemy ships, with the dark matters
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Noire, I'm not groping you for my health. I'm going to amplify you two. Do your worst.
<DeathStar> *ren
<DeathStar> <Ren> We might can destroy/disable them
<Chaintan> 6*Hess nods and moves to do so, wincing
<Xan> <Saf> On more hook? Or do you see more? 6* She looks.
<DeathStar> <X> The other is on the far side. I am afraid to go near that matter wall
<Sathen> Orihime> <on comm> Sorry, I don't think I can make a ball of fire big enough that it would help like that.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *While Megumi gropes Noire and Hess opens the ripple, the others hunt down the attacker, who is hiding in the hallway up ahead*
<DeathStar> <Ren on comm> You three are doing it. The enemy ships are being repelled and damaged
<Nyaomi> * Megumi could make dark matter herself, but finds it more efficient to accelerate the abilities of Noirse and Hess instead.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel picks her blade up off the ground and moves in, giving off a blue glow here and there aas she moves quickly
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Oh, you so know what I like, darling!"
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> You really are that one's child
<DeathStar> *Near Kaori, in the darkness, a figure swings a blade at her throat*
<Seraphna> * Reese grumbles. "So what's with our Princess? Mind fucked?"
<DeathStar> <Kre'trav> You have ruined everything
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I'm just the fun half."
<Seraphna> Camilla> "Kre this is not you! Please snap out of it!"
<DeathStar> <Ren on comms> The enemy ships are repelled. You can stop now.
<Sara> * Kaori jerks in the opposite direction of the figure; gamer reflexes, despite her being a little pudgy
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Fair enough.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel moves in around Kaori, parrying it for her
<DeathStar> *the attacker lowers the mask, revealing Kretrav. She doesn't seem to have anything on her mind controlling her, but she swings more at Cel and Kaori*
<Xan> <Saf> *C* Nice work fun half. You too Hess.
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Chopped liver cat.
<Chaintan> 6*Hess drops and pants, sweating profusely
<Jackieness> <Noire> *strikes a pose of sexy awesome*
<Xan> <Saf> *C* ....you too old lady.
<DeathStar> <Ren on comm> The fleet is here, a second too late. The Tsivrixsh fleet are pulling out. Oh, it seems Erevis is hailing us
<Sara> * Kaori leaps back and loads a stun grenade into her cannon, letting it rip the moment Kretrav moves on them again
<DeathStar> *Kretrav goes down, twitching*
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Old lady? I'm barely approaching a hundred!
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel darts back, sliding on her feet as the stund grenade goes off, not wanting to get caught by it
<Seraphna> * Camilla rushes over to her. "Kre!"
<Nyaomi> * Megumi twitches slightly, then falls onto her back, panting
<Sara> <Kaori> She's not dead, but we need to neutralize her for now so that she won't be a harm to herself or others.
<DeathStar> -tIME HOP-
<DeathStar> *Shretrav peers down, the others on the bridge now, Hess in a chair and Ren fanning her, while Kretrav is bound up tighter than a chinese torture thing
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. *she kneels down and touches Kretrav's head* She has a mental block on her. The Tsivrixsh must have telepaths now
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Could they not have used an outside telepath?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hmmmmm..." *struts about the bridge*
<Sara> <Kaori> That sounds like a weird and potentially very dangerous combination, if they have telepaths of their own...
<Xan> <Saf> Never thought I would be alive to hear the words Tsiv and Telepath used in a unifying manner.
<Nyaomi> * Megumi is splayed on a chair herself, waving her hand. "Telepathics, not my area."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Maybe these are rogue Tsivirxsh working with rogue Erusians who provided the telepaths."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is possible. But how many outside ones would be willing to work with them against the Suisen. *she glows* The block is gone
<DeathStar> *Kretrav opens her eyes slowly*
<Seraphna> * Camilla rubs her head, looking at Kre worriedly.
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> You'd be surprised at how people will find a way to work together if it benefits both parties
<DeathStar> <Kretrav> Where am I? Kaori? Camilla?
<Sara> <Kaori> "The enemy of my enemy is my friend", right, Cel? *she notes before turning to Kretrav* You're on the bridge. We're all here... you're safe right now.
<DeathStar> *Shretrav lets out a breath.* I am glad my daughter did not do this willingly
<Seraphna> * Camilla shakes and hugs onto Kre'trav.
<DeathStar> <Kretrav> I... I can't remember a lot. It's there, just out of my reach. A Tsivrixsh got me out and did something. But while working with them, I learned something. Something that made me afraid
<Chaintan> 6*Hess glances at the comm she still posesses
<DeathStar> <Kretrav> But it's not coming back
<Chaintan> <Hess> we need to figure out what we're going to do about this
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Perhaps Erevis can coax it out?
<Xan> <Saf> Maybe more mind stuff can help you recover it?
<DeathStar> *the comm so far has sent a message: Report agent. Why were they there without warning
<Seraphna> Camilla> "They did something to you... you weren't yourself, it was like someone else... I was made to do... do things I did not want to do."
<Seraphna> Camilla> "I knew it wasn't you though. I knew you wouldn't do that."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It will come back to her naturally with time. But if she saw somethign that made her afraid
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hey, you got a text."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is likely something dangerous
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> It may be best to force it out.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I could but her mind is weak still from what I did. It could do brain damage
<Chaintan> <Hess> yeah...dunno how to answer ir
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Erevis
<Xan> <Saf> Huh, yeah don't hurt her brain.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Maybe we could seduce the evil out of her~"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, kitten
<Seraphna> * Camilla looks at them all warily.
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> There might be an option outside of the intrusive mental approach
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> How long efore her mind is strong enough again?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is?
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Your old friend, the fox woman.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I know many foxes
<ChadWinters`> <Cel> Hypnosis could work also I suppose
<Seraphna> Camilla> "Do... do not harm her."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Which are we talking about? Freyja, Miyuki, Kaori
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> I'm not going to go into the arguments of science on 'heart' and 'soul'
<Nyaomi> * Megumi deadpans. "The one that peeks into the heart. White hair, mousey. Married to Iceheart."
<DeathStar> *after a bit the comm smokes, as if destroyed. Hopefully data is left there*
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Winters shot her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It may work. We will accompany you all back to Suisen space.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And work on her. I will let your team know if we learn anything, Kaori - Hess
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I tried to tell people about the text!"
<Seraphna> * Camilla seems to guard Kre'trav not unlike a hound.
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> Shretrav, would you be willing? The ones most familiar to her would be the best to peek inside.
<Nyaomi> * Megumi raises an eyebrow at Camilla. ".. And maybe this one."
<Chaintan> 6*Hess nods moving back
<Sara> * Kaori bows
<Seraphna> Camilla> "She is my Meister, first and foremost."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *digs around the smoking com, trying to save the bits* ">..need science-y help here."
<Nyaomi> * Megumi sighs and strains to get up, moving over to Noire.
<Xan> <Saf> Shame, you could'e probably used that to suss out who was going after the Empire.
<Nyaomi> <Megumi> This was fun. I haven't gotten out in decades.
<DeathStar> *Erevis puts an arm around Megumi, then looks up
<Seraphna> * An'Mi tries to help but seems too enamoured with Noire to concentrate well.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It may still have data. I would not toss it
<DeathStar> -END for now-
<DeathStar> Anyway, I hope you all enjyoed it
<DeathStar> I been meaning to follow up on KRetrav and it begins to open the world with a bigger space plot
<Jackieness> :0
