<@DeathStar> Date: 10-661.7.13
<@DeathStar> Location: The Sol System
<@DeathStar> *The Aquarius has been brought down on a frozen like moon out in the middle of nowhere, with systems failing and Mireille barely keeping enough power to keep oxygen and warmth for the crew. Ben, having gone out on a dunebuggy to explore the area, is no longer reporting in and so Bella and Cloe are prepping the shuttle to head out to check their surroundings*
* Dias` (~Dias@39.sub-174-199-37.myvzw.com) joins #TAW-Geyze
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Remember, first priority is finding Ben. After that, we find...something...I don't know."
* Ariel (~KAS@hlfxns018gw-47-54-32-201.dhcp-dynamic.fibreop.ns.bellaliant.net) joins #TAW-Geyze
<@DeathStar> <Cloe> This place looks empty of life.
<@DeathStar> *she straps into a seat*
<@DeathStar> *Yuki sits on the bridge, talking to Cookie and Nox* What systems can we try to bring online?
<@Seraphna> Nox> Life support and heat seek important for you mortals.
<@Seraphna> Cookie> She has a point.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Life support includes minimum heat levels for survival."
<Jackieness> <Bella> *comm* "Recon shuttle requesting permission to launch, bridge."
<@DeathStar> *Mireille remains in her pod* <Yuki> Granted. Becareful
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Heading out." *cycles up the shuttle's drives and takes it out*
<@DeathStar> *the shuttle quickly begins to gain ground as it flies over the icy moon, soon catching up to Ben, who is holding a device and looking out into space*
<@DeathStar> <Mireille comms> We have a problem
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Report."
<@DeathStar> <Mireille comm> Something large is approaching us.
<Jackieness> <Bella> *comm* "Aquarius, I have eyes on Ben."
<@DeathStar> *Yuki on comm* Scoop him up
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Cloe, get the hatch open as soon as we get to safe distance of the ground." *starts bringing it in*
<@DeathStar> *Cloe nods and works her way toward the back, stumbling a bit and leaning on a seat, then makes it to the back waits*
<@DeathStar> *Ben turns his head, probably tapped into the communications and looks up at them*
<@DeathStar> <Yuki> Cookie
<@Seraphna> Cookie> Ready!
<@DeathStar> <Yuki> Whatever power you can spare, put into the viewing screen
<@Seraphna> **Cookie nods and with a sigh depowers something to bring it up**
<@DeathStar> *the screen begins to come on with a lot of skips and static, but something massive approaches, looking like a ship they have never seen before when it does appear. It almost blocks out the entire viewscreen as it approaches*
<@DeathStar> *Bella would also spot it from her spot, and Ben also turns his head*
<@Seraphna> Cookie> Scary big ship incoming.
<@DeathStar> *Cloe throws the hatch and Ben drives right into the shuttle, almost hitting her but he scoops her up at the last moment*
<@DeathStar> *Then hops off and closes the hatch*
<@Seraphna> Nox> Maybe they’re friendly giant aliens.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...crap. We have inbound." *cycles the engines up and starts heading back to the Aquarius* *comm* "Aquarius, we are heading back. Inbound unidentified vessel."
<@DeathStar> <Ben> Delay that
<@DeathStar> *He reaches to slow them down*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "What?"
<@DeathStar> *Ben points as the massive ship reaches out what looks to be arms and has begun to grab the Aquarius up like it is a toy, no caring as it smashes parts of it off, leaving god knows who behind on the desolate moon. Yuki holds onto her seat, cursing* <Yuki> We're losing sectors. What parts are we losing?
<@DeathStar> *The strange alien ship begins to turn with the Aquarius, heading around in a u-turn shape back the way it came deeper into space*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...what the hell?"
<@DeathStar> *Mireille begins to list up parts of the ship - thankfully it isn't important parts like the engines and other areas to run it, but crew compartments are missing, the cafeteria is missing and the captain's quarters are missing. Yuki digs her nails into the chair*
<@DeathStar> <Ben> You have enough in this shuttle to follow them? I did some scans - we're in the Sol System. I think that thing is taking them to the Mirrored Earth
<Jackieness> <Bella> *brings the shuttle into hover mode* "...that was just a thing."
<@Seraphna> Cookie> Have they never heard of a tractor beam?
<@DeathStar> *Mireille is ejected from her pod, sitting up sweating* I can't remain inside anymore...
<@Seraphna> **Nox looks her over**
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Start sealing off damaged sections so we don't vent what atmosphere we have remaining."
<@DeathStar> *it looks like she's running on fumes* <Yuki> ... right. I'll get on that
<@Seraphna> Nox> We have another problem..
<@DeathStar> *Yuki works on her controls, distracted* ... Yeah?
<@Seraphna> Nox> I don’t feel spirit energy here. We’re draining.
<@DeathStar> *Yuki looks up* ....
<Jackieness> <Bella> *checks shuttle systems and then nods* "We should be able to make it."
<@DeathStar> *Cloe holds her chest* <Cloe> Lets do this
<Jackieness> <Airym> "That is logical. This system is the center of the Outer Spirits' rampage."
<@DeathStar> <Yuki> Well lets hope we can find a way out of this asap.
<@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<Jackieness> <Bella> "And...go." *takes the shuttle toward Mirror Earth*
<@DeathStar> Date: 10-661.7.22
<@DeathStar> Location: The Academy
<@DeathStar> *Shion is slowly helping the first year while the second years are given the freedom to approach their studies as they like, outside attending classes when they come up*
<@Seraphna> Alt> Alt will become ultimate hero!
<@DeathStar> *Selena is in the middle of meetings with the other leaders like Shinobu and Ymir, to go over the last few years, leaving the team right this moment a bit of free time - which will not much soon*
<@DeathStar> *Gwen looks out* That so?
<@Seraphna> Alt> Mmhmm. The Amazon Familiar Triple Princess Hero.
<@DeathStar> *Vyvy is present, standing under Sylph's statue in thought, wearing a strange outfit to mirror spirits*
<@DeathStar> *Aska and Shade approach Lana, standing in front of her*
<@DeathStar> *Zayne, wearing her student outfit, looks for Sparkling*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh? Yes?"
<@Alicia> * Sparkling is around, seeming to have recovered by now
<@DeathStar> <Aska> We wanted to know if you finished your tests with Sylph's core to see if everything was in order. If so, we would like it back to prepare rites with Fae and Gnome
<@DeathStar> *Zayne stands beside her* I see you are doing better.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...I've been examining it...and...ahhh...its a theory, mind you...but..." *lowers her voice* "I..think we can get Sylph back."
<@DeathStar> <Shade> Pardon me?
<@Seraphna> **Terra gives Vyvy one of her new Sylph Fruits**
<@DeathStar> *Vyvy glances at Terra, then takes it slowly* Thank you, child
<Jackieness> <Lana> "While examining it, I noted that I could still pick up a reading. I mean, sprite-scale, but still there."
<Ariel> * Nicolette has fall asleep in the courtyard, with a tome across her chest. Recovery efforts have been so busy, that she just finally crashed.
<@Seraphna> Terra> Made it taste just like Momma Sylph favorite candies.
<@DeathStar> *The two glanced at each other* <Shade> We picked up no such reading. <Aska> It would have been nice to feel more of Sylph from it - that is actually why we were a bit more curious why after so many years it was not flooded more with wind energy
<@Alicia> <Sparkling> "Mmm."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I think its because I was detecting the information still encoded in the remnants of the core, rather than active spirit energy."
<@Alicia> <Sparkling> "What's up?"
<@DeathStar> <Aska> Well, if you think you can do something with it, let us know
<@DeathStar> *Zayne thinks* I feel a lot will happen in the upcoming days and that you should know push yourself
<@DeathStar> *Vyvy takes it, then takes a bite* It is good. Thank you
<@Alicia> <Sparkling> "I'm certain of it... either Sabrina, or a vision told me."
<@DeathStar> *the meeting has broken up and Selena and the others walk out*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I can make a copy of the data and try...soemthing, I guess. No guarantees though. Beyond that...Sylph's core was overall on the small side."
<@DeathStar> *Selena looks frustrated, hands sliding through her hair then down to her face. Qui looks thoughtful, like she is considering life itself. Leafy is playing with a leaf, of all things, while Kalam remains calm, leaning on a stick. The naturalist leader seems to not care*
<@DeathStar> *Shinobu glances at everyone nearby* Alita and I have an announcement. We will be holding a ceremony to unite our two kingdoms soon now that those against us are gone and to strengthen our bonds. Especially in light of the enemy that is approaching
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> It is good to see you and Sabrina working together again
<@Seraphna> Alt> Triple Princess time!
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "That will be quite a chaneg to the political dynamics of Geyze."
<@DeathStar> <Shinobu> A lot of our high advisors gone, I feel we need such alliances. *probably referring Kito and Rain*
<@Seraphna> Alita> Well it is not the first political marriage. In fact we are technically just reinforcing the one started decades ago.
<@DeathStar> *Qui considers*
<@DeathStar> <Qui> Everyone seems to be into political marriages. I feel as if my people will want to push for one with Selena after this move.
<@DeathStar> *Selena just rubs face*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I can feel things becoming more complicated rather than easier."
<@Seraphna> Terra> Leafy is mine though.
<@DeathStar> *Leafy pauses in playing with a leaf* <Leafy> Hrm?
<@Seraphna> Terra> Political marriage only to me.
<@DeathStar> <Lumi> I hate to interrupt all this talk - but we should table this. Ymir and I have something important to talk about
<@DeathStar> *she lifts Nicolette up a bit into her arms as not to wake her and takes her into the meeting room*
<@DeathStar> *Selena, Sabrina, and Zayne return to the meeting room; Gwen, Aska, and Shade follow. Vyvy watches them go inside and puts a mask on that looks a bit like a Summoni mask*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "...h-huh?"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *enters the meeting room and takes her usual seat*
<@DeathStar> *Selena pets Nicolette's head* Meeting time, Nico
<@DeathStar> *Gwen snacks on a sandwich*
<@DeathStar> <Gwen> They're trying to marry your queen off while you were asleep
<@Seraphna> Alt> **chomps on some of the sandwich**
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Meeting? That wasn't on the sche... marriage?"
<@DeathStar> *Lumi motions at Lana, Sparkling, Ceilidh, and the others to come on in* This is Peacemaker deal
<@DeathStar> <Selena> It seems everyone is making marriage alliances. Qui seems to be debating offering me one.
<@Seraphna> **Talia flounces in*^
<@Seraphna> Terra> No one try and marry my Leafy.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *shuffles inside*
<@DeathStar> *Vyvy takes a seat, snacking behind the mask*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "A-ah... I... guess that'd be logical..."
<@DeathStar> <Selena> .... *Rubs temples* <Lumi> I'm sorry to interrupt you all after trying to recover these past few days but Ymir has something important to tell you
<@DeathStar> *Ymir takes a deep breath, appearing as if she has gotten no sleep this past few days, dealing with all of the damage on Kumen* <Ymir> Right. So I got the teleporter to the Aquarius working last night and Asarar, Kira and Bonnie went through. The problem is that they have not returned and the connection is barely working. I probably can only manage to send one more group through - one way. But, I can tell you this information. The Aquarius appears to be on Earth - well, our Earth - Mirrored Earth. They reached the destination. And what data I could pull from the logs is that they encountered the Outer Spirits and a lot of damage was due to the ship - enough to crash it
<@Seraphna> Alita> Perhaps you should just tell it.
<@DeathStar> <Ymir> I don't know what your stances are on this - if you want to wait out the Outer Spirits or to take the fight to them - I know they have two of yours. Your time spirit and uh, the Death Spirit Shin, but now they might have my operatives
<@DeathStar> <Ymir> Plus the entire Aquarius crew
<@Seraphna> **Alita frowns** The heart of the Outer Spirit rampage if I am not mistaken.
<@DeathStar> <Ymir> Unless you have another ship, my one way teleporter will be it.
<Ariel> * Nicolette is stark awake now and attentive.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh?" *looks around*
* Dias` (~Dias@39.sub-174-199-37.myvzw.com) has quit IRC (Read error: No route to host)
<@Seraphna> Alita> If the Aquarius is down the spirits there are likely starving.
<@Seraphna> Alita> At the very least we need to bring some kind of reserve for them.
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Yoiyami
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> I think her grandmother gave her a ship
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Is it fast enough to get there in time?"
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Good question. You could try to call back those two spirits.
<@Seraphna> Luci> If Taiga made a ship it’s fast.
<@DeathStar> *Ymir fidgets, as if hiding something*
<@Seraphna> Luci> Tell ‘em kitten.
<@DeathStar> <Ymir> We got .... one more piece of data
<@DeathStar> <Ymir> It's a bit .... fragmented though so it's only a single picture
<@Seraphna> Alita> Let’s see.
<@DeathStar> *Ymir brings it up on their screens - a massive ship. Those who see it would recognize the tech. Pre-Croza, the race Lana dubbed "The Keepers". Just a glance, it looks massive*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh! I recognize that construction."
<@DeathStar> *at first glance it appears to have no weapons that stand out, but the sheer size makes up for it, dwarfing the Aquarius*
<@Seraphna> Alita> Forboding.
<@DeathStar> <Selena> That is the race that wanted to seed spirits on a lot of worlds, right?
<@DeathStar> *Lavenza finally peeks out from Nicolette's hat*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> They didn't strike me as a warlike race.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "That is our theory. And...notice the lack of vbisible gun port or turrets. Instead they have only a pair of large manipulator arms."
<@DeathStar> <Gwen> So what type of ship is it? Like a massive seeder ship?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I expected there'd be signs of them, but... wow, that's a ship alright."
<@DeathStar> <Gwen> Mining?
<@Seraphna> Alita> If I had to guess… it’s a city.
<@DeathStar> *Taiga has stepped into the room, adjusting her glasses* It could almost give the PAX a run for the money
<Jackieness> <Lana> *pushes up her glasses* "...we can't rule out the possibility of it beign a Mirror PAX either."
<@Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I'm assuming the war part was unintentional."
<@Seraphna> Luci> Funny too since we think it’s run by the “Progenitors” of our verse.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "That being said, the Keepers goals are rather mysterious. Evidence points at them seeding spirits on many worlds, but no clue as to why."
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> As for ships, I'm sure Yoiyami will lend her ship - but she'll want to come along you know
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Something tells me we might learn why if we go
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Her mother's condition for her remainign at the Academy was to stay out of danger."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Originaly, I wasn't sure if I should go...but his..." *waves a hand at the ship image* "...this makes things different."
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> I also promised I'd keep an eye on her if she did get into ... extra lessons.
<@DeathStar> <Gwen> You love those ships, eh?
<@Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Well, you can take responsibility then, right?"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I shall call her in then." *checks ehr comm to call Yoiyami into the meeting*
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> I will. I know all about getting into trouble
<@Alicia> * Yoiyami heads in soon enough. "What's that ship?"
<@DeathStar> <Selena> A Keeper vessel
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Right now, I have more questions than answers. That ship may have change that balance."
<@Seraphna> Alita> Does your ship have a spirit field generator like the Aquarius?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Yoiyami, a..special study opportunity has just presented itself."
<@Alicia> <Yoiyami> "If it's studying that ship, I'm interested."
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> I gave her all the basics to have fun out here - spirit engine, shield etc. The mana engines are a work in progress. And the weapons are tied into the spirit engines/shields. So not firing them too much without taking out the shields
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> But she is fast and she will get us there quickly. And a Tiger Engine is on it
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> Plus --- *She glances at Yoiyami* Some of the stuff she requested be added.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh? You have mana engines?"
<@Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Why not?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I would like to compare notes as I had also designed a mana engine, but lack the resources to actually construct a full scale model."
<@Seraphna> **Terra forms two huge fruits then flops over looking tired**
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> I had one put into the Aquarius, but the problem I found there you have to switch completely from the spirit engine to the mana or else is risks .... complications
<@Seraphna> Terra> Take to Mire and Noxy.
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> I was seeing if I could get around the flaw with Yoi's
<@DeathStar> *Selena stands up* Since those two can go all day talking about engines
<Jackieness> <Lana> "The Visage also had a hybrid mana/spirit druive system. It created some sort of corrosive effect that none of my models predicted."
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Who all plans to go?
<@DeathStar> *Taiga considers that, then jots notes*
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Sabrina and I will go. <Gwen> I'm there
<@Seraphna> Talia> Talia, the Peacemaker will go.
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I... can't sit this one out. If they have two of my friends, then..."
<@DeathStar> <Ymir> I'll program their flight plan into your ship then. You can use it to safely make the jumps there
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Before we set out
<@Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I wonder if the visage version has adverse effects on spirits..."
<@DeathStar> <Selena> .... this is probably a question that will make a big impact, so think on it
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Do we bring any of the spirits with us, and if so - do we bring all of them or just some?
<@Seraphna> Alita> We might be able to summon Nox back but can ship spirits be summoned?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I need to go for my answers..."
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> That is a complicated question, Alita
<@Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I want to go, but... if I do, someone else will have to look over... you know."
<@DeathStar> <Lumi> I can look after the child
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> A ship spirit can be summoned - by the ones with the ship command
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "If she's up to it, it would probably be good to bring Origin. She might be able to give us insight on some of the things we find."
<@Seraphna> Alita> And the whole crew is out there.
<@DeathStar> *Lavenza nods* <Origin can do this. Feel like must go too>
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Which means that only the command crew of the Aquarius can summon Nox or other ship spirits. That being said, you cannot go into this with a heavy dependency on spirits. Remember, the Outer Spirits are there and have been consuming mana and spirit energy from the system for centuries."
<@DeathStar> <Gwen> Besides, two of our ship spirits have no one with ship commands.
<@DeathStar> *He points out*
<@Seraphna> Alita> Nox is a Dark Spirit. It’s Mire we can’t summon.
<@DeathStar> <Vyvy> You couldn't bring Nox here even if you tried. *she motions* You think I wouldn't if I could?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> If you want Noix, you will need to go there and rescue her."
<@Seraphna> Alita> So that leaves the question of any spirits going.
<@DeathStar> <Vyvy> It is a distance thing
<@Seraphna> Alita> They will definitely be in danger.
<@DeathStar> <Vyvy> I am unsure if you would even get a copy if you tried
<@DeathStar> *Taiga taps Yoiyami* I'm going to get the ship started
<@DeathStar> *she heads out*
<@Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Please."
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Alright everyone. Grab what you need
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Say goodbye to who you think you need to. I'll ... inform mothers that I'm coming
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ymir, could you supply a small armory of non-spirit firearms to the expedition?"
<@Alicia> <Ceilidh> "To be honest, I don't have great confidence in this, but... I don't think we can stop the prediction anyway."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...is this how you are going to avoid the marriage talk, niece?"
<@DeathStar> <Selena> .... Yes
<@Alicia> <Ceilidh> "The marriage talk can wait. Seriously, we have bigger things to worry about."
<@Seraphna> Terra> **squeezes Leafy possessively**
<@DeathStar> <Ymir> I'll supply you all with weapons and mana crystals as well as other stuff, since if you are entering dead worlds you might need it. The ship might be able to provide a bubble for you but you'll heave to leave it sooner or later
<@DeathStar> *Leafy squeaks*
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Marriage is overrated. *Says someone who has never been married*
<@Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Absolutely."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I've managed to avoid matrimony myself."
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> If you wish to be with someone, you just be with them if they like you around them. Anything else makes it messy
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...I'm goignt o get some stuff form my lab now."
<@DeathStar> <Gwen> I'll follow her
<@Seraphna> Terra> I may have to marry them all so they can’t marry Leafy.
<@DeathStar> *Zayne heads for the ship, not having anyone to reach out to since Rainshine has her own life*
<@DeathStar> <Sabrina> .... Hm. *She turns to Sparkling* I'll head that way myself. *she hops ahead*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *heads to her lab*
<@DeathStar> *Leafy blinks*
<@DeathStar> <Leafy> Huh?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Eheh... just mentioning the M world really sets people off, doesn't it?"
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Sometimes. *She admits as she steps out; Qui still standing there*
<@DeathStar> <Qui> Um, .... do you all need extra help? I feel as if I haven't .... done anything in .... a long time.
<@Seraphna> Alita> Well you did look after Autumn.
<@DeathStar> <Qui> Autumn is fine warrior and will rise up in the world
<@DeathStar> <Qui> I am asking about the here and now
<@Seraphna> Alita> We leaders need to watch our nations I think.
<@DeathStar> <Qui> .... I feel as if that is all I do. Watch. *she bows* But I understand.
<Ariel> * Nicolette ponders a moment, "...yep, definitely out of my wheel house. I'd definitely like the world to not be gone when we get back, but specifics..."
<@DeathStar> <Qui> I will be here then watching over Geyze for your return
<@Seraphna> Alita> I think in the coming weeks we’ll find ourselves busy building a lasting alliance.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And I have a school to watch over."
<@Seraphna> Talia> Sorry Sister Qui.
<@DeathStar> *Qui smiles and heads off to meet up with the other Amazons*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "There's a lot of damage control that still needs to be done here. And we're not sure if the black magi have any cells left... it's not insignificant work."
<@DeathStar> <Selena> I certainly hope there are no more black magi left.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "They did a great deal of harm the last time around."
<@DeathStar> *As she walks to the Yoi's ship, Vyvy is standing there with Aska, Shade, Salamander, Brooke, Gnome, and Shiva. Void is also there, off to the side*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *is gathering equipment to set up a mobile lab in Yoi's ship*
<@DeathStar> <Aska> We will be coming with you
<@DeathStar> *She makes it a matter of statement, not to be argued with*
<@Seraphna> Alita> This way the children can take over if anything happens.
<@DeathStar> <Shade> Many of them have already done so
<@DeathStar> <Shade> Geyze is their's already - Tenebrae is the Dark Spirit here. Soren is the Light Spirit, Edna the fire spriit, and so on.
<@Seraphna> Alita> Lord Void, you will have to be careful.
<@DeathStar> <Void> What happens will happen
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Such a nihilist, eheh."
<@Seraphna> Alita> Perhaps. But some of us will miss you.
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Many would crush on that type of personality
<@DeathStar> *she eyes Alita*
<@Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It occurs to me... what if the reason for the predicted calamity is everyone leaving...?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> *moves her boxes to the ship using her mana mech construct*
<@DeathStar> *Void nods in thought, then hands Alita a ring of sorts, turning to Ceilidh* What is this calamity you are seeing, prophet?
<@Seraphna> Alita> That’s why we went with a compromise. **she takes it and slips it away**
<@Alicia> * Ceilidh describes what she saw from the Cleaner child
<@DeathStar> <Void> I see, a type of world void of spirits
<@DeathStar> <Void> I shall remain here. *he tells the others* And see what happens.
<@DeathStar> <Aska> You just want to laze around. But fine.
<@DeathStar> *she and the other spirits make their way inside and find room to set up. Taiga meanwhile is showing Yoiyami how to pilot the shpi*
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> The extra features you wanted placed into the ship to make it more unique and have some of the dark flare you might find on Noire's ship. *He shows her what buttons to flick* Note they're also prototypes, so use it in emergency
<@Alicia> <Yoiyami> "The price of cutting edge technology."
<@DeathStar> *By now, everyone has got aboard; it seems Vyvy is joining them*
<@Seraphna> **Talia sits on Gwen**
<@DeathStar> *Gwen pats her head, watching Lana work*
<@DeathStar> *inside the ship, there is plenty of spirit energy and mana flowing to keep everyone charged as Taiga, sitting in the co-pilot seat, closes the ramp*
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> Feel free to take us into space
<@DeathStar> *she programs the flight path Ymir gave them*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *sets up her lab in one of the cabins*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> So, Nicolette. Speaking of the M word, do you see yourself ever getting married?
<@DeathStar> *the ship smoothly lifts off into space and the coordinates are all locked in for Yoi. Taiga leans over and shows her where the jump button for the tiger engine is at*
<@DeathStar> *as they enter into Tiger Space, they move rapidly, the ship taking a jerk iin the back. Zayne looks up in though, having been listening in on Selena*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *considers that for a few moments* "I honestly don't know. I guess it's complicated."
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Yeah, I guess that is a complicated one
<Jackieness> <Lana> *being who she is, naturally ends up faceplanting when the ship engages Tiger Drive*
<@DeathStar> *Gwen lifts her up by the butt*
<@Seraphna> Talia> Did the pillows get damaged?
<@DeathStar> *despite the speed in which the Tiger Engine offers, it seems that a lot of time begins to pass. Zayne paces about the ship as it vibrates and after a bit the computer, in Taiga's voice, speaks: Spirit signal ahead - emergency stop?*
<@DeathStar> *it begins to count down from 10 seconds*
<@DeathStar> *Taiga blinks and tries to get more information as it reaches 7 seconds*
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> I think the computer recognizes the signal ahead. Do we stop?
<@DeathStar> 5
<@Seraphna> Talia> What’s that countdown?
<@DeathStar> 4
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> Untill we pass and kepe going
<@Seraphna> Talia> Sure?
<@DeathStar> 3
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "It could be one of ours, we have to check."
<@DeathStar> *Taiga shrugs and hits the stop button, jerking them all to a stop. Sabrina slides along the couch*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *faceplants yet again*
<@DeathStar> *before them is Haven, the station that the Aquarius visited before hitting the Borderlands. It looks to be damaged by something or someone. Many ships are parked there still, some floating with no power, others seem to have fled, leaving areas of it barren. One of the ships floating about seems to be a familiar one - Melodie's and Aimee's. It appears they made it this far already*
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> Scans show this place took a beating, and it appears something or someone extracted a lot of power from areas of the station. It appears to be almost floating dead in space
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> Same with some of the ships
<Jackieness> <Lana> *pulsl herself forward* "...it may have been the Outer Spirits or the Keepers. We know that the Outer Spirits were scouting this area of space though."
<@DeathStar> <Lavenza> <Refuse to believe Keepers did this> *she sounds almost like a child refusing something an adult said*
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> I um, have bad news
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Let's hear it."
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> Your spirit friends ship has been totally drained of spirit energy. I am not detecting anything in there. *she turns her head* They might not be .... alive in there
<@DeathStar> *she brings up on the screen the driftng ship, showing no sign of vitals or power*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...sh...should we look?"
<@DeathStar> *Salamander peers out* If you need us to investigte let us know
<@DeathStar> *Taiga nods and brings the ship up beside their's* <Taiga> One sec. *she works on extending the airlocks to their's*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...but as I said...we do know that the Outer Spirits had sent servants here...so they are the more likely culprits."
<@DeathStar> *Lavenza seems more pacified at that, as Taiga locks it in and opens their airlock door*
<@DeathStar> *the other ship's door seems powered off as Taiga attempts to open it*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We could try an energy transfer from our ship to their's to get the airlock open."
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> We might have to do that. One moment
<@DeathStar> *she moves to the console and transfers some spirit energy from their banks; a moment later the door slides open. The lights barely flicker some emegency lighting on in the dark ship*
<@DeathStar> *it defintely appears to have begun to freeze in the other ship, as Taiga shudders* Si!
<@Seraphna> Si> Yep!
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> Do your thing. *She motionsat her to keep her warm*
<@Seraphna> **Si starts to move the heat around to do so**
<@DeathStar> *Salamander and Aska step into the ship and look around; everything seems shut off and they stop at the two pods where the spirits reside usually to power the ship*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Lana?
<@DeathStar> *she glances at the pods*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ahhhh...I'll...open one of them..." *goes to try to open the mechanism*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Will they even be in there if all spirit energy was drained?
<@DeathStar> *the chamber opens up*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *takes a breath and then looks*
<@DeathStar> *Aska pulls the door open all the way to reveal a barely visible Aimee, her spirit energy fading into the ether. Her large core glowing brightly*
<@DeathStar> *Taiga and Salamander work on busting open the other one*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh?! We need an emergency spirit transfusion!" *works on the other pod*
<@DeathStar> *the other chamber reveals Melodie, who looks to be in better shape - her body not fading out yet, but not waking either*
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets get them inside the ship where there's spirits and energy and see if we can help them
<@DeathStar> *Aska lifts up Aimee gently, like picking up a ghost*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Right. Please bring them with us."
<@DeathStar> *Salamander takes Melodie and brings her to the other ship.* <Aska> We can supply them with our own energy
<@DeathStar> *Taiga gives Lana acces to the ship incase she needs to do anything, then closes the airlock*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks at Taiga* "We still need to try to find data logs that will tell us what happened here."
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> Let me see if I can rip it out of the ship
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> We can watch it while we travel
<Jackieness> <Lana> *nods*
<@Seraphna> Si> Do you need more warming? Or welding?
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm good now, thanks, Bun Bun
<@DeathStar> *she jumps them back into space, then brings stuff up on the screen* Here is what I pulled
<Jackieness> <Lana> *then sets up some monitors on Aimee and Melodie*
<@DeathStar> *the logs appear a little confusing at first. A yellow haired spirit appears out of nowhere and begins to attack the station; then a rainbow colored spirit hangs back and watches. The haven station begins to try to attack them with all their weapons and ships, and Melodie and Aimee join in, but then everything freezes in time almost - all of them not reacting to anything but the recording continues, showing the spirits decimating everything by draining the energy from the station, then the ships, including Melodie and aimee; Off to the side, one cn almost see the green haired time spirit*
<@DeathStar> *as the ship begins to get drained too much, the recording stops*
<Ariel> * Nicolette froms as she watches the log, "...that ability just isn't fair."
<Ariel> (frowns)
<@DeathStar> <Selena> How would we even counter it without Avenir
<@Seraphna> Talia> Why are they such jerks?
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Are we not going there to find out?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Honestly, I don't know. I... don't have a plan on this one."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...there has to be a way...if we can\a neurtralize the
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...there has to be a way...if we can neutralize the time spirit, they lose a huge advantage."
<@DeathStar> <Gwen> I have a plan. We avoid that one if a fight breaks out
<@DeathStar> <Brooke> If we encounter her, we will see to it that you all get away.
<@Seraphna> Talia> But you’ll all get hurt…
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh...they won't let us avoid her."
<@DeathStar> <Gnome> Be honest, you all have better chance of solving this or making friends with them then we do
<@DeathStar> <Gnome> You all have that magic touch
<Jackieness> <Lana> "The key problem is their contsant hunger for energy. If they weren't hungry all the time, they could function as normal spirits."
<@DeathStar> <Salamander> Well, let us see what we can about that when we get there
<@DeathStar> *as more time passes on the journe, Aimee begins to look more solid and Melodie seems to be almost recovered when the ship begins to beep again*
<@Seraphna> Talia> Well let’s not worry unless we have to. Eeep?
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> We're arriving at our destination. Eveyone should take spots on the bridge
<@DeathStar> *the bridge is oddly shaped almost like a fox head*
<@DeathStar> *Selena finds a spot to watch what happens, with the spirits standing in the back*
<@DeathStar> *Gwen puts Alt on the guns*
<@DeathStar> *however, they seem to be nothing more than regular blasters*
<@Seraphna> Alt> I am Pew Pew Mistress.
<@DeathStar> *the ship comes out of Tiger space and they arrive over the frozen moon where Ymir stated the Aquarius was crashed; however, there is no sign of it outside a few broken pieces of it laying on the surface*
<@Seraphna> Talia> Someone took ship?
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *she scans* No life signs detected. *she winces* A lot of bodies though
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...bodies?!"
<@Seraphna> Talia> Oh no…
<@DeathStar> *she scans all of them to document everyone* <Taiga> Yes, it looks like some of the living quarters were ripped out, the cafeteria and the captain's quarters. They seemed to purposely avoid stuff like the engines and other systems - that have spirit energy
<Jackieness> <Lana> "But why damage the ship at all...?"
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *scans the debris trail* You want my theory
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> That large ship we saw grabbed it and carried it
<@Seraphna> Si> They didn’t care about the crew obviously.
<@DeathStar> <Selena> *Thinks* Where did they carry it to?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Damaging the superstructure would still risk the useful portions of the ship, though."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "It looks like someone's lobster dinner..."
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> If I had to guess
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> It might be their ship did not have tractor beam tech or if it did, it used precious spirit enegy
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> Better to just grab it and run
<Jackieness> <Lana> *tries to scan for spirit energy signatures in the system*
<@DeathStar> *Taiga begins to flick switches and powers down the spirit and mana output on the ship to minimal output to keep everyone comfortable*
<@DeathStar> <Aska> ... may I ask why you are weakening us?
<@DeathStar> *Lana would find some on Earth, as it pops up on the scans*
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> If I'm right, these vultures will come in for anything with spirit power. We need to mask it as much as possible.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "If they are looking for spirit energy, we would be an instant target at full power...ahhh...here. Earth's surface."
<@DeathStar> *Aska grumbles at the two*
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> I will head that way. *She flies that way* We also need to debate sending the spirits outside the ship where they might be detected. They're both our best fighters and our weakness. They'll get us caught sooner or later if they step out
<Jackieness> <Lana> "They should stay in reserve..."
<@Seraphna> Talia> Worried more for Nox and Mire now.
<@DeathStar> <Shade> .... *she seems to be trying to find Nox* We will find them
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Why not try to call Nox now?
<@DeathStar> *as they fly along past the planets, the group would notice something unsettling - the scans on each of the worlds show a lack of spirit or mana on any of them. The outer planets like Neptune or Uranus, unlike their Prinme counter parts, are like withered shells of a planet*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...the gas giants have actually lost some of their mass."
<@DeathStar> *and as they near Jupiter, it seems to be almost collapsing in on itself, threatening to become something very dangerous as they pass by it; up head the other planets near Earth also look to be lifeless chunks. However, Earth seems to be hanging in by a thread. The scans come up and show chunks of the planet to be rotted out and desert like, oceans no longer existing outside a small portion, and what portion does seem to support life has begun to be covered in weird vines. Yuki's report never mentioned any of this outside that a barrier was around the planet at one point, keeping people out - this no longer seem to be there*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "What happened could be related to the activity of the Outer Spirits or maybe the Keepers."
<@DeathStar> *Lavenza puffs her cheeks*
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> I've located the Aquarius
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...but I'm sure its probably the Outer Spirits!"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> *pets Lavenza on the head* "Or a third party. Too soon to tell."
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm moving to land near it
<@DeathStar> *the ship comes down - all around the broken remains of what appears to have been a Japanese like city is now vine city, growing and smashing through the buildings and along the highways. The Aquarius seems to be covered in them, the ship broken in places as it grows into the ship itself*
<@Seraphna> Talia> Those vines are everywhere.
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> I'll keep the spirits here with me while I monitor you. Maybe the Aquarius managed to get some information
<Jackieness> <Lana> "These vines are not natural. The Aquarius should not have been here long enough to allow this level of growth."
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I wouldn't go so far to say unnatural, but they're definitely not normal."
<@Seraphna> Talia> It’s like Terra had a field day.
<@DeathStar> *Selena opens the hatch and peers out*
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I'm worried by the fact that they seem so healthy, when everything else is falling apart."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I'm from the Sol system, and those vines are definitely not native to Earth. Either someone put them here or engineered local flora to create them."
<@DeathStar> *The vines seem to slowly seeking out the ship already*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> They're still growing
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks at the sensors* "...they are coming for us already. I'm not sure what is attracting them."
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> I'll monitor them too so we don't lose the ship
<@DeathStar> *Sabrina, Zayne and Gwen slowly step out with Selena, making their way for the Aquarius. Gwen keeps Alt on his head*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Without some samples, I can't tell if its the EM field from our tech or the spirit energy that is attracting them."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *then ehads out after the away team*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> You want us to cut some of the vines up for samples?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "We're sure the barrier was to keep people out, and not to keep something in?"
<@DeathStar> *Taiga on comm* <Taiga> From what I understand, it was actually meant to keep something in
<@Seraphna> Talia> We should be careful of touching vines. They clearly hungie.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I'm not sure yet. The behavior of the vine suggests some intelligence, even if its very primitive. Damaging it could cause more problems than they solve."
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> Yuki and them release it into the universe proper and almost destroyed this part of the universe. But they never saw any Outer Spirits or anything related to them at the time
<Jackieness> <Lana> "The Outer Spirits had to have been active for a decent amount of time, given the damage they have done."
<@DeathStar> <Taiga comm> I agree. I need to go through my sister's journals, but I thought it was a virus that was unleahsed
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> It was why Earth fled to Kumen
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> That and the Reality Quakes
<@DeathStar> *As they reach the Aquarius, Selena looks along the hull; there is an entrance into the bridge and one into the engine room*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Which seems more important?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Bridge would be where everyone was."
<@DeathStar> *Selena shuffles along; the bridge looks covered in vines, so she slowly drops down*
<@DeathStar> <Sabrina> ... I do not like this. Vines and stuff like it do not mix well with magical girls
<Jackieness> <Lana> "The long distance teleporter was probably in the cargo section."
<@DeathStar> *she floats down and Zayne muses; it seems like she has her spirit side quieted down completely*
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> You want me to check on that?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh...not alone."
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> .. *Grabs Gwen and heads to it*
<@DeathStar> *Selena looks over the bridge controls, ith vines all inside it*
<@DeathStar> <Selena> There's no response. It's like it has been completely drained
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Should I try to chop these vines out of the computers?
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "I kind of expect that to have a violent response."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Any sign of the bridge crew or spirits?"
<@DeathStar> <Selena> I see no one.
<@DeathStar> *she peers up the hole*
<@DeathStar> <Sabrina> Could we try to inject spirit energy into the ship?
<@DeathStar> *Zayne climbs back up on top of the ship, dragging Gwen* The portal is covered in the vines; if we had gone that way, they would have entangled us
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh...maybe they either escaped...or...they were captured."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We should check engineering before we go."
<@DeathStar> *Selena nods and takes them in through the cargo hold*
<@DeathStar> *the vines down here are way worse than the bridge*
<@DeathStar> *it's like they were feeding on the ship*
<@DeathStar> *one can see they even got into the walls*
<@DeathStar> <Gwen> This is creeping me out
<@DeathStar> <Gwen> Alt, you'll sacrifice yourself if they attack us right
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I suspect that the higher density of vines will be in the vicinity of the spiirt engine."
<@DeathStar> *indeed it is true. As they enter the engine section, the vines have grown all into the engines; it's so thick, Gwen trips over one*
<@DeathStar> *Sabrina winces*
<@DeathStar> *outside the ship, a screeching sound can be heard*
<Ariel> * Nicolette glances about for any fallen leaves of the vine as they search the ship
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh?!"
<@Seraphna> Alt> Vines messy.
<@DeathStar> *Nicolette comes across a single strange red petal right as noises begin to slam against the Aquarius. Taiga comms them*
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> ... Guys, I don't know what is happening, but there's like ... strange spirit like monsters working their way into the ship
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...we need to go!"
<@DeathStar> *Bonnie poofs from the shadows, her suit in shreds* <Bonnie> Ah, come with me if you want to live
<@DeathStar> *She holds out her hands*
<@DeathStar> <Sabrina> ... *she looks at the others for what to do*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *runs toward Bonnie*
<@Seraphna> Talia> Follow the Bon Bon!
<@DeathStar> *Selena, Zayne, and Gwen grab onto her as these strange shadow spirit like beings warp into the room and begin to crawl after them, grabbing at Nicolette and Alt*
<@Seraphna> **Alt warps to Gwen**
<@DeathStar> *some leap for Sabrina and others go for the whole group around Bonnie, teeth appearing like they ready to rend them apart*
<Ariel> * Nicolette grabs the petal and runs for it
<@DeathStar> *Sabrina grabs on and Bonnie begins to warp out of there as she sticks her foot out to touch Nicolette. They appear next to Kira and Asarar up on top of a building, where more are crawling up to them*
<@DeathStar> *Asarar leans down and fires, blowing them off the building; it seems they have set up a rock to dorp on them*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh...they remind me of those corrupted proto-spirits on that derelict ship we found! "
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Oh, geeze, perfect
<@DeathStar> *she leans over to look down at them*
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Kira, crush them.
<@DeathStar> *she checks her ammo status*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "With pleasure." *pushes the rock over*
<@DeathStar> *The rock rolls down the side of the building, taking out all the creatures, leaving silence in the air*
<@DeathStar> *Bonnie pants, leaning against the roof edge*
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> .... That was not what I was expecting
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> So you guys are the rescue team?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh...yes..."
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Well, I'm not going anywhere without Bella and Cloe. If you can help us get them, you might be rewarded. We got this transmisison last night
<@DeathStar> *she pulls out her datapad and hits play - Bella's voice can be heard giving their coordinats on the other side of the city, having been tracking the crew. She mentions having learned something important about the spirits, believing she knows where they come from*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "My girl is a step ahead of everyone." *motherly pride*
<@DeathStar> *Selena eyes the sun setting* Something tells me we have little time to make it across the city
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Right. Do you have a ride you cna call in?"
<@Seraphna> Talia> Yep!
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Right. *She contacts Taiga to come get them*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Whatever you do, don't dmaage the vines. I found that out the hard way while trying to clear the teleporter back to Kumen."
<@DeathStar> *a ship uncloaks a moment soon after beside them*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *moves to board*
<@DeathStar> <Gwen> Right right, be nice to the vines
<@DeathStar> *Gwen hops on and Zayne lifts Nicolette up with her into it*
<@DeathStar> *the ship pings a lot as it detects the petal*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *boards*
<@DeathStar> <Sabrina> The ship seems mad
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh?" *goes to the ship sensors to chekc the pings*
<@DeathStar> *Lana would see that the ship is alerting them to the fact the petal is so unknown and the energy it gives off is also the unknown region, it has fliipped the alarm system for the ship*
<@DeathStar> *it'll need to be scanned for more info*
<@DeathStar> *Taiga takes the coordinates given to him by Asarar and begins to head that way*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh?! Its a contaimiantion alert. Did someone get a sample?"
<Ariel> <Nicolette> "Yeah, it seemed with investigating." She finds a containment pod to put it in so they can get a detailed analysis
<Jackieness> lana *starts running an analysis*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *starts running an analysis*
<@DeathStar> *After a few, it seems that the vines are being allowed to drain some of the spirit energy in the ship and this petal is a by process of that - it drops from the vines after certain points and it looks like it is a type 100% neutralizing/restorative agent. The ship's scans detect more of them all around the planet, being seeded into it*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...these seems to be part of an engineered process..."
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> Uh guys
<@DeathStar> *up ahead, as they near Bella's location, the massive Keeper ship can be seen*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "AHHHHH?!"
<@DeathStar> *it looks to be preparing something, with the spirits all around it as they are loading something - some of it looks to be stuff from the Aquarius, others look to be crates of the petals*
<@DeathStar> *Taiga takes them and lands them near where Bella and Cloe are at, the Keeper ship in sight due to it's massive size*
<@DeathStar> *Cloe is sitting there, looking faded and tired*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Cloe, Cloe! We've been rescued." *shakes her*
<@DeathStar> *Bonnie heads outside and hurries to Cloe* <Cloe> Oh. Hi. I'm awake. Really
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Barely..."
<@DeathStar> *Bonnie lifts her up and begins to share her mana with her as she walks inside; Asarar steps out and grabs Bella in a hug*
<@DeathStar> <Cloe> Is Mister Ben still here? Oh. ... Right. He left to sneak onto that ship
<Jackieness> <Kira> *joins them, hugging Asarar and Bella*
<@DeathStar> *Bonnie has Cloe sit down to soak in mana*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...h...hey...I'm alright...really."
<@DeathStar> *Selena turns to the others* So what do we do? That thing is too big for us to take
<@DeathStar> *Asarar ruffles her hair*
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> You do not know how worried we have been the last few weeks. .... come on kiddo
<@DeathStar> *she pulls her inside* <Asarar> Lets stick together
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Mom, I'm an adult now!"
<Jackieness> <Lana> *focuses on analyzing the leaf, trying to figure out what its properties could be used for*
<@DeathStar> *it looks like it's used to try to cleanse lands of impurites, toxins, maybe even restore ... spirit energy back to it*
<@DeathStar> *the Keeper ship begins to lift off, shaking over buildings*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...I think this is a type of terraforming project. It might be how they seeded worlds with spirits to begin with."
<@DeathStar> <Zayne> Do we attempt to board it - stop it - or follow it? *She turns to Bella* You said you had an idea of all of this? <Cloe> Yes. Spirits have been traveling between a few worlds. They'll come back here again in a few days
<@DeathStar> <Selena> We could also stay here and gather more information if they're coming back
<Jackieness> <Bella> "We don't know where they go when they leave. Hell, we don't know if they are related to the Outer Spirits at all."
<@DeathStar> <Taiga> I detected two of them entering the Keeper ship just now
<@DeathStar> *she brings up the Yellow haired spirit and a new one that looks like it has pink hair and is on the childish side, holding a doll*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Then they must be using the Keeper ship as a base of operations."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ahhhh...are there even any Keepers still alive on that ship?"
<Jackieness> <Bella> "We've only seens these hungry spirit things come out of it."
<@DeathStar> <Lavenza> .... *she speaks not in their minds but with her voice*
<@DeathStar> <Lavenza> Origin thinks they died out before the Croza. The Croza then took their technology and took over everything
<@DeathStar> <Lavenza> She recalls a memory that is not her's of them being afraid of the Croza making a mess of everything
<Jackieness> <Lana> "That makes sense...and maybe the Outer Spirits found one of their ships and is using their technology for...something."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "They must keep comign back to Earth for some reason... maybe we should try to find that reason while we can."
<@DeathStar> <Selena> Well if they're right, we'll have a few days before they return
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> Well, I got a few ideas. *the Keeper ship now out of sight*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Mom?"
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> If this petal can restore technology even a little bit, we should use it to start up a few machines - be it the Aquarius or sites around here where the Outer fucks have set up camp. We might can look into what they're planning
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> But first thing first we need to get ready for the night - those things will start to come out in droves
<Jackieness> <Lana> "That sounds like a plan. Now that we have this petal's biosignature, I cna easily adjust scanners to find them."
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> My team can help you do that
<@DeathStar> <Asarar> It's what we're good at
<@DeathStar> I kept trying to type TBC
