<DeathStar> Oh my

<DeathStar> Date: 10-660.10.1
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
<DeathStar> *Asarar cranes her head to look at a series of buildings together on a block. The buildings seem to be well maintained, having a NetRunner shield to keep NetRunners from automatically leaping in*
<DeathStar> *the windows all closed up to keep people from spying in from a distance on the opposite block or building*
<Seraphna> Luci> Those sure are buildings.
<DeathStar> *Asarar slowly shifts from the hovercar, dangling her foot*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets see if I can step onto the roof
<Sara> <Chelsea> Careful that it's not a holographic roof. *she jokes*
<DeathStar> *Gwen leans out of the hovercar*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> So you guys do this all the time?
<Seraphna> Talia> I do!
<Sara> <Chelsea> Oh, it's usually more interesting than this, don't worry
<Sara> <Chelsea> You might get a vital organ removed yet
<DeathStar> <Alouette> ... *feels along body in a panic*
<Sara> * Chelsea smirks slyly
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh?"
<DeathStar> *Asarar puts weight on the roof*
<Seraphna> **Anyata checks Alouette in panic**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Cut the chatter."
<DeathStar> <Melodie and Aimee> Aw
<DeathStar> *then lean back with Sparkling*
<Seraphna> Talia> Aw
<DeathStar> *Asarar moves along the roof* The roof should be fine to get onto. If there's sensors I'm not picking up on it
<DeathStar> *Gwen carefully joins Asarar, as does Alouette; the spirits stick to Sparkling for now*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Are holographic roofs a thing here? They seem... pointless."
<Jackieness> <Kira> *moves on to the roof* "I'll take point." *moves forward*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "I guess there's no rain anyway, though."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh... if you wanted to disguise one thing as another."
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "There'd still be a roof, but... yeah, it might not be one you can stand on."
<DeathStar> *along the roof, there is a small grate*
<DeathStar> *leaving to ventalization system*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Oh there's rain. *She looks around* Last few year's Ymir' been making it so the rain that reaches the lower levels has even become down right nice
<Sara> <Chelsea> It's not acid rain anymore thank goodness
<Jackieness> <Kira> *examines the cent*
<Jackieness> vent
<Seraphna> Luci> It also makes police chases way more cinematic.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> You know, I knew there was a reason that Kumen was not my favorite vacation spot
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I have a possible entry point."
<DeathStar> *The vent seems to be just screwed in thankfully*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *checks for alarms before she starts unscrewing it*
<Alicia> * Yoiyami watches intently
<DeathStar> <Gwen> This looks like it's going to be a tight fit
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Do you ladies do this often?
<Seraphna> Talia> Really? Seem huge entrance!
<DeathStar> *Kira removes the vent cover and Asarar pokes her head into the ventalization system*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... I might wait out here. *he seems wary about going in*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh... is it safe?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Kira's tits might make it hard on her
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Chel
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You go first
<Seraphna> Luci> You big girls go last.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks down* "Ahhh..."
<DeathStar> *Asarar eyes Lana, then Kira* For a science lab girl, you sure have the science goods
<Seraphna> Talia> Those are my pillows.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Try to keep the noise down while you are in there."
<Seraphna> Talia> No bouncing.
<DeathStar> *Asarar begins to move through the vents after Chelsea goes*
<Alicia> * Yoiyami follows Asarar in fox form
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yoiyami, since you're small, come on in too
<Sara> * Chelsea snickers
<Alicia> * She seems to be enjoying the escapades
<DeathStar> *The ventalization system is definitely a tight fit for some of the girls as they move along in an almost a maze like setting*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks at Gwen* "...why did we come again?"
<DeathStar> *as they get closer toward an exit, though, those with better hearing - a fauna, a fox, would hear the faintest of beeping sounds near the exit into the*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Well, it was our assignment from Lumi
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ahh...maybe we should have just paid them and waited at their bar."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> That feels wrong, too. *he moves to wait at the hovercar with Sparkling*
<DeathStar> *Asarar looks at her team* Alright you ready?
<DeathStar> *she prepares to open them into the building proper*
<Seraphna> **Luci nods**
<DeathStar> *Asarar drops them from the ventalization into the building. They land on a floor with a ton of walls set up for what could only be described as work stations. Computers stations are set up, being run by themselves running programs*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Beep?"
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Watch out for alarms."
<DeathStar> *Alouette points at the ceiling* Like that?
<DeathStar> *the opened vent has a silent red light going off*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...you hit a trip. Damn it."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Oh come on, we had to come down
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I see no guards
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Asarar, see if you cna get into the security system and clear it. Automated, so either we're about to get gassed, or we can expect visitors to roll in."
<Seraphna> Anyata> Or traps to be armed. Or the room to explode.
<DeathStar> *Asarar moves over and hooks herself up to the room*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I-Is this normal?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Depends on the setup."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Depends on the setup."
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Oh boy
<Seraphna> Anyata> Aunt Angel taught me many tactics villains might use. We should also watch out for freeze rays.
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> <Cypher> You have an idea of what you want to accomplish?
<DeathStar> *Cypher asks as they arrive*
<DeathStar> *Lumi checks out the shuttle returning and glances at her wife* They're back quickly
<DeathStar> -SHIFT BACK-
<DeathStar> *Asarar has plugged into the wall from her hand*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> There's a lot of firewalls, this might take me a bit
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Oooooh..."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "OK, sit tight everyone. Be on the lookout in case we have company."
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I don't want to be blown up
<DeathStar> *the elevator begins to move, slowly rising up toward their floor*
<Sara> * Chelsea turns in the direction of the elevator
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...and there is the company."
<Seraphna> Anyata> Do we attack?
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Oh boy oh boy.... *She hefts up a chair*
<DeathStar> *The elevator stops on their floor*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *moves to one ide of the elevator*
<Seraphna> **Anyata readies her blade**
<DeathStar> *The doors open and armored men, around 12, march out; oddly, they don't appear to have weapons. And in the back is a woman who looks a lot like Tora, but also has the appearance of Sen to a degree. She is peering down at a device, motioning at the men to set up position that is advantagous to them against the group*
<Alicia> * Yoiyami stays hidden, watching
<Seraphna> Luci> You Tora’s kiddo?
<DeathStar> <Tora's Kiddo> ... Ah. What makes you ask that? *She glances at Asarar doing her work, then at Luci*
<Seraphna> Luci> You look like her and her cute maid wife.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I am Seniga. Yes. And why are you trespassing in my building. *motioning at Asarar* With your hands in my system?
<DeathStar> <Alouette> ... *leans in to confer with the group*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> If this Seniga is related to Tora, then that would explain how she was able to access Tora's system and files and use the CorSec funds.
<Seraphna> Luci> Didn’t Nell follow you off the ship and into this?
<DeathStar> <Alouette> But why are they buying so many mana crystals that might be tied to the incident?
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Nell? We both left the Aquarius years ago, if that is your question
<Seraphna> Luci> She’s always doing something without her Momma. **she pouts** Thought she was crushing on you.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> ... A strange line of questioning. *Asarar finally nods her head as she gets into the system*
<DeathStar> *Seniga steps to the side and motions at the elevator* I'm going to have to ask you to leave
<DeathStar> <Seniga> These men are here to escort you out
<DeathStar> *Asarar retracts her hand from the wall and joins the group*
<Seraphna> Luci> I suppose so. Sorry to be a bother dear.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Come on, then
<DeathStar> *she moves to walk past the men and into the elevator*
<DeathStar> *Alouette awws and follows*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *steps out* "Ta-ta." *slips into the elevator*
<Alicia> * Yoiyami... stays hidden?
<Seraphna> **Anyata and Luci step out, Talia gloriously riding in Lana’s cleavage**
<DeathStar> *Seniga peers at the datapad, having been pin pointing all their locations and counting them. She seems to be looking around, perhaps to decide something*
<DeathStar> *Seniga her mouth counting them outloud*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> .... *She turns to the elevator* ... Well. You reap what you sow I suppose. Goodbye.
<DeathStar> *the armored men go down with the others, leaving Yoiyami alone up top*
<DeathStar> *with Seniga*
<DeathStar> *the others are taken down to the ground floor, where there's tons of crates all over the place*
<Alicia> * Yoiyami watches, trying to determine if Seniga knows she's here
<DeathStar> *and it looks like in the loading dock areas that Seniga has begun to use it again as people are operating the docks once more*
<DeathStar> *The group is escorted out the front door*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Well, that could have gone better. I wonder if we are finally getting too old for this."
<DeathStar> *Gwen and Lana are down on ground level, ahving been escorted down*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Some armored men came and told us to move the hovercar
<DeathStar> *Seniga circles the area where Yoiyami is at, perhaps assuming she is in the area, but never seems to find her, before moving and locking down the floor and leaving*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "AHhhhh..." *counts* "...we're missing someone."
<Alicia> * Yoiyami creeps out from under, avoiding the ceiling light, and looks over the computers
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Ah hell
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We're not going to get in there to get her out at this point."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... that might be bad."
<DeathStar> *The computers seem to be running a type program, all of them; it almost looks like they're farming code but with magic forumlas. Glancing at it, it seems rather impossible and makes no sense, all the various gibberish being seen and the coding flying*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> We could ask, but then we're alert that she is in there
<Alicia> * Yoiyami just records the code, not being able to really do anything much else.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> .... Well. I think for now
<DeathStar> <Asarar> All we can do is keep an eye on Seniga. I don't think she's broken any laws
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh...what about Yoiyami? We have to get her back to class..."
<Alicia> * Yoiyami tries to get back into the vent once she's done
<DeathStar> *As she's going back through it, something begins to chase her. Bang bang bang. It's moving faster*
<Alicia> * Yoiyami hurries, actually looking scared for once
<DeathStar> *Yoiyami would feel it grabbing at her feet and tail a few times, to try to pull her backwards, but being smaller and faster, she manages to pop out onto the roof at the last minute. Whatever it is, it doesn't follow beyond*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... *Squints* Is that our missing fox?
<Alicia> * Yoiyami pauses on the roof a moment, trying to remember the way back, before spotting the car
<DeathStar> *Gwen waves at Yoiyami*
<DeathStar> <Melodie> You look like you had fun
<DeathStar> <Aimee> That is sarcasm
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh! We were so worried!"
<Alicia> * Yoiyami tries to make it to the car, using shadowporting and foxholes to not have to jump off the roof.
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Scary vent-chaser..."
<DeathStar> *Gwen pats Yoiyami* Hrm
<DeathStar> *He peers at the roof*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Okay. I think we need to ask Ymir for special permissions about Seniga
<DeathStar> *she turns the hovercar around and begins to head back*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "So... does anyone know what this is?" *hands Asarar the code*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "It was definitely suspect."
<DeathStar> *Asarar eyes it, her eyes going odd*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "What is it?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Ah, if I had to guess... I've never see anything like it. But it's almost like it's a code for tapping into the Net and taking a bit of it's energy and moving it elsewhere. Or converting it for another property.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'm not even sure if one can do that
<Jackieness> <Lana> "May I see?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It's like it's undermining it. *She shows the code*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "... that's... big."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks at the code*
<DeathStar> *Asarar flies along* You have any ideas? *as they speak, another hovercar begins to fly right at them at high speeds*
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Watch out!"
<DeathStar> *asarar veers*
<DeathStar> *the two collisde and they spin out*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Hold on!"
<DeathStar> *Gwen flips over and holds onto the side in mid- air, Melodie completely goes over and Aimee hangs onto Sparkling*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhhh!"
<Alicia> * Sparkling grabs onto Melodie, holding Aimee
<Seraphna> **Luci flies out, but the goes Dragon**
<DeathStar> *their hovercar begins to drop down as Asarar gets it under control, the other one begins to be charged up with magical energy. As Melodie hangs out, the passengers of the other hover car begins to aim at them*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You son of a bitch. *She begins to back up*
<Seraphna> **Luci flies up and then swoops down at the other car**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *shakes her head and then weaves rapidly, summoning a mana-fueled plasma cannon, that aims at the other car*
<DeathStar> *the other car unleashes a lightning bolt down at the car, striking all around it*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Go ahead...make my day..." *fires her cannon at the other car*
<Seraphna> **Luci shields and tackles the car with her claws**
<Seraphna> **Talia starts trying to absorb the mana out of the attack**
<DeathStar> *the other car begins smoke and catch on fire as Luci digs her claws into it; the robed men are already leaping off from the damged car as she latches on*
<Seraphna> **Luci hurls it at some of them** Get fucked!
<DeathStar> *Asarar looks at Kira and Chelsea*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... I want, for my birthday
<DeathStar> <Asarar> An armored hovercar/van
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...you have your own money."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Sigh
<DeathStar> *she begins to fly toward Ymir's, the car making strange noises*
<Seraphna> **Luci flies ahead with part of the fender as a trophy**
<DeathStar> *as they arrive at Ymir's, Ymir just eyes the state of their vehicle*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> ..
<Jackieness> <Lana> *shakes ehr head and tries to study the code that Yoiyami got*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Is the car being wrecked really an issue? We all survived..."
<Seraphna> **Luci sets down the fender and changes back**
<DeathStar> <Ymir> It's not a problem, we'll get you a new one. Tea anyone?
<DeathStar> *She sits down at her desk*
<DeathStar> *Alouette oohs and waves hand for some tea. Melodie and Aimee snuggle up to Sparkling*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Asarar is right, they are siphoning energy from the Net and transferring it somewhere..."
<DeathStar> <Ymir> That is not good.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> I can, if you think it's a danger
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Send my people in to shut it down
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If we do that, I imagine Seniga will not be happy. *points at Yoiyami.* Especially with you
<Jackieness> <Lana> "They had alot of hardware running this code, but its only a code fragment. I don't know how much and where the other end is. If its ALOT, it could, in theory, cause the Net to collapse...ahhh...given its connction to the Spirit world... umm...that could have domino effect."
<Seraphna> Luci> Question is who it affects, will they be happy?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Like I said, there is not enough here to find out where it goes... though..." *pulls out her ethereal console and starts working*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Then if it's a danger to the Net and the Spirit World, then I have no choice but to send a team in to force hre to shut it down.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> It's a shame, Seniga had reached out to me recently
<Seraphna> Luci> She did?
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "M...maybe if you look at it closer, it won't be that big a deal...? But you'd need to check."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I think I cna create a beacon program that Asarar could put into the Net. if it gets picked up by Seniga's program, I should be able to follow it to the destination."
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Yes; said she was working on a new Corporation idea and wanted to come up with concept idea before finishing the presentation and hammer everything down. Something to do with magic
<Seraphna> Luci> I propose the strategy I employed in the past. Let’s ask her what’s up.
<DeathStar> *Asarar nods to Lana*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> .... But... how do we capture the target to TALK to them?
<Seraphna> Luci> I would use… a comms device!
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Why do we even need to capture them?"
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Because once they're captured, it's much easier to chat
<DeathStar> *Asarar just motions for Lana to work on the beacon*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *goes to work on it*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "That's true, but it's easier to just... talk?"
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Oh poo. That's true
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Alright
<DeathStar> <Ymir> How do you wish to go about getting in touch with Seniga? I could try to find Nell
<DeathStar> *Asarar paces about behind Kira and Chelsea, then paces behind Gwen and Lana, then paces behind Yoi and Sparkling*
<Seraphna> Luci> We could call her yes.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Asarar, you need a drink."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "This has been a big day..."
<DeathStar> *Asarar pours herself some of Ymir's finest whiskey*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Anyone want some?
<DeathStar> <Melodie> It has been. *she fidgets, as if debating something*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Right here."
<DeathStar> *Asarar pours Kira some*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *takes her glass*
<DeathStar> *Lana finishes her beacon while Asarar drinks her whiskey*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh... its ready."
<DeathStar> *Asarar sits at the table and finishes her whiskey in one gulp* Give it to me
<DeathStar> *Ymir meanwhile gives the group Nell's number*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Here. Call this
<Jackieness> <Lana> *transfers the beacon program over to Asarar*
<DeathStar> *Asarar begins to work on it*
<DeathStar> *Alouette grabs Nell's number* You all want me to call Nell?
<Seraphna> Luci> Please.
<DeathStar> *Alouette dials and bounces* I'll use the fridge is running joke to break the ice
<Seraphna> **Nell picks up with sounds of a bar fight going on** Hello?
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Hello! Is your fridge running?
<Seraphna> Nell> Fridge!? Are you running?
<Seraphna> **Nell speaks up after a pause** He says he’s punching it Biggs.
<Seraphna> Luci> Aww, she’s getting into terrible.
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Ask if it's full."
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Is it full?
<DeathStar> *she asks*
<Seraphna> *trouble
<Seraphna> Nell> What’s full? Who is this?
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I guess you better go catch it! Ha ha! OH anyway. We're calling because we need your help! Kumen business! The President needs you!
<Seraphna> Nell> What? Momma #2? Has she been kidnapped by terrorists or circus clowns?
<DeathStar> <Alouette> It's about someone called Seniga!
<Seraphna> Nell> Oh… **sounds quieter** What’s ummm… up with her?
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Hm. *she peers at the others* How much we tell her?
<Seraphna> Luci> If we wanna talk we should be plain.
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Okay! *She explains the situation*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> That's why we need you to get her to lower her guard so we can sneak talk to her
<Seraphna> Nell> I see… well I think I can talk her into a meetup.
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Sneak talk?"
<DeathStar> <Alouette> We have to be sneaky. *nods* And get this talk!
<DeathStar> *Asarar looks up*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I think I got it
<DeathStar> *Asarar stands uup and moves over to the others, having been still for a time*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *nods and sets up her weave to start tracing if the beacon attaches to the stream of Seniga's program*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> So this will now allow us to see where the extra stuff goes?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh..in theory."
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Alright, lets get these talks set up
<DeathStar> *Gwen looks at Lana* <Gwen> I guess you and I will monitor the beacon then while the talks happen
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Seniga's Building
<DeathStar> *The group regroups at the second of the three buildings, which seems to have a lobby area. A receptionist brings out food and tea to them*
<DeathStar> *Nell has joined the group*
<Alicia> * Yoiyami eats snacks
<DeathStar> <Melodie> Sparkling, after this mission is over, I hope we can talk about something
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Of course!"
<DeathStar> *Seniga joins the group, coming in from downstairs*
<DeathStar> *upstairs even
<Seraphna> **Nell joins them as the mediator**
<DeathStar> *Seniga peers at Yoiyami, and for a moment, she gives an almost kitsune wolfy grin, her ears appearing before vanishing*
<Seraphna> **Nell’s tiger ears wiggle**
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "...what was that about?"
<DeathStar> <Seniga> How are you, Nell
<DeathStar> *She asks as they sit*
<DeathStar> *Asarar leans back, arms crossed*
<Seraphna> Nell> Pretty good. You?
<DeathStar> <Seniga> I've been doing okay I guess.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *is seated next to Asarar, not saying a word*
<Seraphna> Nell> So I guess the old folks just wanna know what you’re up to since that Net and Spirit Realm connection makes them worried.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Well I'll speak up a little
<DeathStar> <Gwen> You've been connected to draining mana from the Dark Lands, you're connected to being with a group of mana users during that including two scary scythe ones, you're connected to having a boat load of mana crystals which isn't illegal, mind you, but the former is, you're connected to buying up a lot of land for this purpose
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Did I cover it all? And we still don't even know what Nico has learned
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "What do you need all this mana for? It can't be just regular greed..."
<Seraphna> Nell> It’s Sen, she no doubt thought of some cool applications to sell.
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Alright. I'll go over it. It's for a few applications
<DeathStar> <Seniga> We tested the applications at the Dark Lands because the area - the desert - had plenty of mana in an area that it would not hurt the eco system. And we went about it in a way as not to hurt the guards. You'll ask why not ask for permission first but I'll get into that in a moment
<DeathStar> <Seniga> The mana was for 1) to test the applications of how it can be used with spirit energy without detonation. The spirits here can use elemental powers, which is nearly like magic. But as the other spirits have shown, magic and spirit energy does not completely mix perfectly. I need to test large amounts of mana with spirit energy in a safe environment because I believe in the future that will need to change
<Seraphna> Luci> You mean the theory that Spirit Energy is finite and we may need to find a way to increase it?
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks up, opens her mouth and the closes it again*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> The second 2) the mages I've been working with came across two makai. One being Zayne. She had completely lost her mind, but they seem to worship her
<DeathStar> <Seniga> She has her moments of lucidity, usually upon recharging her mana levels, So I've been testing theories on how to try to cure a makai. If Zayne can be cured, maybe more of them can be cured
<Seraphna> Luci> Holy Shit.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *raises a hand*
<DeathStar> <Seniga> And the third project deals with space itself. *She looks at Lana* Yes?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I...ahhh...managed to intgrate a mana conole into a spirit tech ship without it destabilizing the whole system... it was a Croza flying pyramid... during the Croza war... it involved time travel..."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Can that be mass produced?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh... I haven't tried. We were in a pickle and I needed to rig it up before we died."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Hm
<DeathStar> *Seniga runs her finger along her chair*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "But.... with Simon gone, I am now one of the leading authorities on Geyze in both spirit and mana."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> So you'd like to help me?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Since it sounds like its for a good cause... at least your half of it. I'm...ahhh...not too sure about the mages that came to you, though."
<Seraphna> Nell> I would!
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Well I admit it would be nice to have more eyes on the project. I'm sure the mages would not object. They're mostly interestd in Zayne anyway, not the rest of the project
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I'm a consultant for the Alliance...but I'm sure Lumi will OK it once she learns your goals. Everything just seemed sus when we were in the dark, tha's all."
<DeathStar> <Seniga> Very well. I'll turn over the notes. What made it sus was the mages anyway - they went ahead did the Dark Lands operation at the Fort. It was meant to be in the middle of nowhere
<DeathStar> <Seniga> The told me it was Zayne acting out
<Seraphna> Luci> And once again my wisdom saves everyone from dumb conflicts.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...this is also an opportunity for experimentation."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Lana is getting that look
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Look? I have a look?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> That researcher look
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: The Academy
<DeathStar> *the two teams are reunited at the conference room*
<DeathStar> *Lumi folds her hands*
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Well, what do you make of it all?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I think the end goals are laudible...and its worth continuing Senig's project, with our guidance and proper accountaiblity."
<Seraphna> Terra> Terra has idea for new thing too!
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Seniga's project?"
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Her project, Zayne being part of it and trying to kill you, everything
<DeathStar> *Melodie and Aimee have cornered Sparkling*
<Seraphna> Terra> Terra will be safer now thanks to… FRUIT SOLDIERS!
<Jackieness> <Lana> "The mages were workign with Seniga. Seniga is researching a cure to the makai insanity."
<DeathStar> <Alouette> That almost makes it seem like there's a bunch of makai!
<DeathStar> <Alouette> A whhhhhole bunch working for her
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I definitely feel like there's more to it than that... that sort of project could get funding. Not need to be hidden in the shadows."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> There is something up with the mages. Even if Seniga wanted to get a working prototype going first
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Oh, the mages are totally sus... which is why the Alliance should take over as Seniga's research partner, rather than relying on those guys again."
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Alright. we'll make sure to do that. And then keep an eye on the mages. I somehow doubt we'll see the end of them
<DeathStar> <Lumi> For the time being the students probably shouldn't be allowed on any of the missions - they seem like they're getting more dangerous
<DeathStar> *Lumi rises* You can all go. Get some rest
<DeathStar> *Melodie and Aimee both hand Sparkling rings, then run off as the meeting is ended*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...thank you."
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I guess I'll be around the academy more after all."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Because of Zayne?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Well... I won't say that's not a factor. But even without Zayne, we'll want to know everything we can about this project."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> That is true. It's quite the project to take on
<DeathStar> *Gwen looks at somethinig* Well right now
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Zayne is being kept is security since she seems to have low moments of being calm
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I wish we could know what made her snap
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Yeah..."
<DeathStar> *Gwen muses* Do you know how to get in touch with her uh, daughter?
<Seraphna> **Alt hops on Gwen’s lap**
<DeathStar> *Gwen blinks*
<DeathStar> *Then pats head*
<Seraphna> Alt> Hello Daddy.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Hello kiddo
