<DeathStar> Date: 10-762.1.13
<DeathStar> Location: Dark Resort World
<DeathStar> *PAX ships surround the world, along with Noire's ship, Athena's Idol Ship, and a Cartel ship. Idol Music is playing as it enters the atmosphere, and down below the team has launched Betas to try to clear the space around the Tower in an attempt to destroy it while Noire debates on her choices.*
<DeathStar> *however, suddenly monsterous dark dragon like creatures begin to form from the crowd and begin to mercilessly slaughter Angela's forces while more take off into the air and head for the Idol ship*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We have airborn
<Dias`> <Chad> They're adapting.
<DeathStar> *a large number seem to be headed for Noire's ship and Ren takes Charlotte's hand and begins to pull her toward the back*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *frowns* "...how annoying." *moves off and starts preparing some casting space*
<DeathStar> <Fate> Hm hm hm. This is not good.
<Dias`> <Chad> We've got incoming. *Chad starts working on bringing up weapons systems*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Can you figure out Noire's systems?
<DeathStar> *She asks from her cell*
<Dias`> <Chad> I'm struggling a bit.
<Dias`> <Chad> Can you guide me through?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...keep them occupied. I am about to get everyone's attention."
<Seraphna> **The Betas surviving begin to Kamikaze what they can while Angela readies an intercept group to defend the Idol ship**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Right; it's got a standard attack and dark sorcery abilities as well as spirit energy attacks. Shift it to your prepared method of attack. As we are not really in a rich spirit environment, standard will probably be your best bet
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And I'm not sure if Noire ever woke the spirit systems up
<Dias`> *Chad grunts and after a short moment sets it to normal and begins firing on incoming*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *sits down, shifting her outfit to her dark shrine maiden look, and starts to cast the spell to try to take control of the Dark One 'hive' on the planet*
<DeathStar> *The dark dragons roar in anger, while more bite into the ship, rocking it*
<DeathStar> *Ren leaps out of the back with Charlotte, narrowly avoiding being eaten*
<Dias`> <Chad> Cheryl, take control of flying. We need to shake them off.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl begins to move them in unnatural pattern to try to avoid attacks* Right
<DeathStar> *Athena frowns*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Girls
<Seraphna> Saga> Yes Momma.
<Seraphna> Thena> Ready!
<DeathStar> <Athena> Our music isn't strong enough for defense and offense. We need to choose one or the other
<Seraphna> Saga> Offense!
<Seraphna> Song> More Offense!
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "We can two birds with one stone if we clear the air."
<DeathStar> <Athena> Alright. *She prepares the ship to direct all their song power into offense*
<Seraphna> **Angela’s Beta Dragoons start defending the Song Ship**
<Dias`> *Chad eyes the ships conditions as he focuses on individual dark ones*
<DeathStar> *Ren forms her dragon form with Charlotte and heads planet side*
<Dias`> <Chad> We can try doing a fly by and attacking the tower to see if we can slow it down.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You want to gte in closer?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright
<DeathStar> *Cheryl flies past the dragons that are biting at them*I
<Dias`> <Chad> We're at a stalemate currently.
<DeathStar> <Ren> <Char, you hear me?>
<Alicia> <Charlotte> <Feels like a suicide run, but I guess we have no better plans.>
<Seraphna> **Si forms a fire shield around the ship to burn clingy foes**
<DeathStar> *as they fly, surprisingly a good number of the dragons are chasing after Charlotte and Ren alone*
<DeathStar> <Ren> <You remember that famous singer Zero from years ago that used to sing. Maybe you should try to sing like her and see you can do some damage too as we get closer.>
<Alicia> <Charlotte> <Oh, yes. That'd work.>
<DeathStar> <Ren> <Alright, getting in closer>
<DeathStar> Up, Down, Right, Left, Down, Left, Left, Left, Right, Down, Right, Down, Left, Left, Right, Up, Up, Right, Right, Left, Right, Down, Up, Down, Left, Down, Up, Up, Up, Left, Right, Down, Right, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right

<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> *the Noire Ship manages to 100% repel their dragons while Cheryl gets them in real close; the Idol singers meanwhile do not fully manage to repel with their singing but still manages to affect the forces below somewhat; the Betas meanwhile are now in critical level*
<DeathStar> *the dark Dragons blasting holes in the Idol Ship here and there; Athena leaving the group to deal with the damage*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *takes up lead singer duties*
<Dias`> *Chad begins charging weapons up and unleashes them all at the tower, aiming for open areas if he can to minimize collateral*
<DeathStar> *The tower explodes while Ren and Charlotte float over the beach*
<Dias`> <Chad> Let's hope that slowed them down. *He taps his comm* Noire, how far out are you before you do your thing?
<Seraphna> **Angela sends the Epsilon away when Athena moves off, to replenish and repair, finally being able to come back to reality inside the ship**
<Alicia> * Charlotte does her own song magic, performing a pretty much perfect Zero impression
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...still working on it..."
<Seraphna> Song> Kitty Love Strike!
<Dias`> <ChadComm> How close do you need to be?
<Seraphna> Saga> +5 Awesome!
<DeathStar> *the dark dragons surround Ren when something begins to emerge from the water behind them. Taiga studies it on her datapad and what rises up looks like a monsterous dark one that appears to be something based off their spidery ships, but is no ship*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We have a problem
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...I'm fine...just...need to focus..."
<Dias`> <Chad> I see it. *He starts scanning it*
<Dias`> *Chad relays what's happening to the other ships in orbit*
<DeathStar> *the Dark One seems to be something akin to Bobbi or Andrea*
<DeathStar> *The tendrils grab onto Ren and Charlotte*
<Seraphna> **The Suisen ships note the monster and start sending blasts down on the water, it being safer to fire at than the tower**
<Alicia> * Charlotte attempts to evade, or at least shake them off
<Dias`> <Chad> I don't like what the scanners are reading. *He adjusts the ships aim for the Godzilla Dark One*
<DeathStar> *Charlotte evades toward the dragons who try to bite into her and bring her down; Ren shoots blasts into them*
<Seraphna> Angela> Holy Shit, is that Bobbi’s transformation?
<DeathStar> *Noire gathers the spell into her hand*
<DeathStar> *able to unleash it*
<DeathStar> *The Idol Ship has a charge ready to shoot as the dark dragons chomp onto their ship and others go after Epislon*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *releases the spell, trying to cover the entire planet*
<DeathStar> *Noire suddenly would convulse in the back and stop moving*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Uh guys. We might have a problem
<Seraphna> **Thena and Saga form crystals in the dragons attacking their ship and start tearing into them**
<Dias`> <ChadComm> What? *He brings up internal cameras and starts looking*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Noire's not moving
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *picks up her own vocals*
<Dias`> <Chad> Angela, get back there and make sure she's ok.
<Alicia> * Victoire plays backup singer
<Seraphna> **Epsilon waits until a bunch of the Dragons are moving at it and opens its front, firing a large dragoon blast at them**
<Seraphna> **Angela moves there a little dazed**
<DeathStar> *Fate watches the fight quietly as Bobbi begins to pick up a part of the beach to throw at Ren/Charlotte, trying to pin them*
<DeathStar> <Ren> <Is that thing throwing ground at us?>
<Seraphna> **The Suisen ships concentrate blasts on Bobbi**
<DeathStar> *Bobbi makes noises of irritation at being hit by hyperspace and sinks into the water*
<Seraphna> **Angela checks on Noire**
<Dias`> <Chad> They desperaretly want Charlotte.
<DeathStar> *Noire's body seems to be running hot and her breathing low*
<DeathStar> *The Idol ship clears the area of space around it with the latest singing magic*
<Seraphna> **Angela frowns** She’s alive. Not sure I should be using Holy to heal her with this much Dark Energy though.
<DeathStar> *while Epislon damages the ones nearing it*
<DeathStar> *Ren meanwhile has shadow ported up into space when Cheryl and Chad begin to detect something appearing*
<DeathStar> *the citizens begin to transform*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Do we go for a nuke now?
<Seraphna> **Angela grumbles and works to stabilize Noire, Kaelan joining her to use Dark Energy to empower her**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Save my siblings, class President.
<Dias`> <Chad> Oh no. *He clicks his tongue* It's possible if we do that and Noire has connected to them, it could cause a back feed in to her. *Comm* Angela, get her to this ships medbay. Stabilize her.
<DeathStar> *The people begin to transform into something even more terrible than before; they appear to look more normal, but the scans are reading power on par with Noire now*
<Seraphna> **Angela Carries her there while Kaelan feeds her**
<DeathStar> *more than half slink into the ocean after Bobbi while the other half just stand there, no longer moving*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Damnit, you’re the strongest, win!
<Dias`> <Chad> They're not attacking. So don't do anything yet.
<DeathStar> *Ren floats there while Charlotte sings*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *opens her eyes* "...mmmmm..."
<DeathStar> *watching the one half sink into the water*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Did you do it? You a Queen now?
<DeathStar> *the one half remaining rub their eyes*
<Seraphna> Si> I think she got half of them in her power and Bobbi has the rest.
<DeathStar> <Ren> <I think it's safe to stop singing, love>
<Jackieness> <Noire> *sits up* "...it put up a fight...but I just gave it a black eye."
<DeathStar> *Fate seems thoughtful*
<Seraphna> Angela> It CAN be overcome then.
<Dias`> <ChadComm> Any side effects?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmm...I feel lightheaded right now."
<Alicia> * Charlotte does stop, but finishes up the song she's currently singing, partly just in case, partly for the aesthetics
<Seraphna> **Kaelan rubs her head** I felt a little kick back from empowering you.
<DeathStar> *Taiga studies the two from her call, holding up datapad. Ren poofs back to her normal form, naked and catching Charlotte in her arms as she eyes all the Dark Ones standing around and mostly miming Noire*
<DeathStar> <Ren> None of them seem to be grabbing at us
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...need to grab Aunt Bobbi..."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I wonder how Noire is doing."
<Dias`> <ChadComm> Get up to the bridge if you can. I've got questions. *He relays what happened to the other ships, letting them know to stop attacking the docile ones*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Lets rejoin the ship then. *Ren forms a foxhole and steps in*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "..very well..." *tries to get up*
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh Scientist eyes Noire and Kaelan warily*
<Seraphna> **Angela helps, Kaelan frowns a bit at the scientist** We only bite wheh we want to.
<Alicia> * Charlotte returns to the ship too. "How did it go?"
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> Earth humor
<Jackieness> <Noire> *heads from the bridge of her ship*
<Dias`> <Chad> Cheryl, do you see anything on the sensors saying where they ran off to?
<DeathStar> *Ren follows to the bridge where Cheryl is looking at scans, frowning*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I can't tell if they're in the ocean still or not
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> As for the ones standing out there, they seem to be just frozen right now
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm..." *sits down and closes her eyes and orders them to form Dark Edge type weapons*
<DeathStar> *The Dark Ones all seem quite able to do so*
<Dias`> <Chad> Seem's Noire's replaced Angela for having her own horde.
<DeathStar> <Ren> So what now. Do we head back or babysit them?
<Seraphna> Angela> Epsilon is heading off to replenish troops.
<Dias`> <Chad> I'd like to know what that tower was meant to do. *He turns to look at Noire fully* So what happened when you cast the spell?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...we need to find Aunt Bobbi. The presence has clearly fortified its local control in her shell."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "What happened? Simple. I hijacked control of half of the horde from the presence. They are now extensions of my being."
<Dias`> <Chad> I figured that much, but did you come face to face with the source of all this?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I got a little wobbly right after I finished helping but it went away like right away.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Maybe...probably."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Why would you feel wobbily?
<Dias`> <Chad> Well put a pin in that one then. You said we need to find Bobbi. How?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I dunno. I was feeding her my own darkness.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmm..." *sends her fliers into the air to recon the ocean*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Mansion Base
<DeathStar> *Evette reads up reports while Adeline is gathering samples below*
<DeathStar> <Evette> It looks the battle at the resort is over; or at least on hold.
<Dias`> <Dias> Hmpf. I didn't even get a chance to punch something.
<DeathStar> *Aya steps into the manor, laying a coat down as it has begun to snow outside*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> That’s good.
<DeathStar> *Andrea takes Evette's datapad, reading over it*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> So does it mean this is over now. Noire can just do the same thing at every location?
<Dias`> <Dias> Hmmm. *He taps his chin* I suppose that would depend on her will power and resolve.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Not sure we can count on that as a final solution. Whatever was done before stopped it cold apparently.
<DeathStar> <X> And the Progenitors seem to have left too
<DeathStar> *Andrea stands up weakily* ....
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Blast it
<Seraphna> Angel> They seemed content to let us burn if we wanted.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "That seems like a plus more than a minus, but..."
<DeathStar> *Andrea stumbles for the door* Mom, get me to the house
<Dias`> <Dias> Hmmm. My experience with people who think they have all the power, they just try a new avenue.
<Dias`> <Dias> You need to get home? *He moves over to her*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> What we have on our hands is no victory, but something worse probably
<Seraphna> **Angel gets up and grabs her, teleporting**
<Dias`> *Dias places his hand on her* Hold on tight.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "What do you mean?"
<Dias`> *Dias blinks as they disappear* Why do people steal my thunder?!
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Looks like we are leaving you now. Keep us apprised"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> .... *looks at Andrea vanish*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> And they left without telling us why it's worse
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... I love it when people leave instead of answering questions..."
<DeathStar> <Aya> I take it this was not a victory?
<DeathStar> *she sets aside the donuts*
<Dias`> <Dias> Everyone can teleport, punching not just yourself but someone else through reality itself..*He mumbles, pouting*
<Dias`> <Dias> Not according to Andrea.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Well let us follow her then and see what the issue is
<DeathStar> *Aya motions them outside into the snow*
<DeathStar> *where her Presidental shuttle is*
<Dias`> *Dias looks at the shuttle* Where's the shag carpet?
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... *eyes Dias with a look while Evette boards and goes for the snacks*
<DeathStar> *Lemon takes a seat near the kitchens while Adeline comes up with her samples*
<Dias`> <Dias> I bet it has a dope steering wheel. *He boards and let's out a collective sigh of disappointment*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'll be heading back to the PAX to run some scans. I'll keep you all in the loop on what I find.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Your shag carpeting is stored back at the building and kept under lock and key
<DeathStar> <X> It's like your painting or something; they'll bring it out after your death and say - this was the carpet that Dias shagged on
<Dias`> <Dias> I thought I lost it. And you've kept it safe since then? Awesome
<DeathStar> *X wiggles the toddler in her arms; she keeps trying to reach out and punch people as they board*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Little fighter.
<DeathStar> *the toddler eyes Tabetha challengingly*
<Dias`> <Dias> She takes after X's brains and my punching ability.
<Dias`> <Dias> And since Kaleb turned out perfect.
<DeathStar> <X> Knowing us, she'll take after Dias' mantle and go around picking fights.
<DeathStar> <X> Hopefully for money though
<Seraphna> Tabetha> We’ll have to arrange play dates with Johnny’s kids.
<DeathStar> *the shuttle arrives outside Cassandra's house, where workers have already begun to patch the hole in the wall*
<DeathStar> *Lemon, X, Aya, and Evette wait at the front door for Cassandra to let them in*
<Dias`> *Dias goes to start pounding on the door*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *slides open the door and steps inside*
<DeathStar> *Andrea has tons of books out all over the place beside Angel as they come in*
<DeathStar> *having dressed in new set of kimonos and taken a bath it seems*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Andrea, what exactly is going on?"
<Seraphna> Angel> I’d help but I can’t read Evilese.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Hmmm? *she looks up* Oh. I thought you all would have followed right after.
<Dias`> <Dias> We did, Aya just wanted to use her boring fancy shuttle.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "We did, but we had to take the long way back."
<DeathStar> *Andrea waves the books; she seems to be going through her books, trying to find a book similiar to the one Noire used* I'm afraid Noire might have unleashed something worse.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> You recall - Hotaru - that I stated Charlotte was of my blood
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Well Noire is directly of my blood and she used a spell that put her directly in contact with this thing
<Dias`> <Dias> And you think it could use Charlotte or you to piggy back and take her out?
<DeathStar> <Charlotte> My fear is this - there is a few scenarios. I'll work down best case to worst case
<DeathStar> *Andrea
<Seraphna> Angel> Do we need to get them to contain her or what?
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Best case, nothing happened. Noire was completely protected and she somehow took over the will of these changed Dark Ones with no consequences.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Its so like Noire to go into something overconfident."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Worst case, she's infected, right?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> That is the worst case. She's completely infected and is one of them.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> And is either pretending or is unaware. But there is a few inbetween
<Dias`> <Dias> ...So what ya want us to do?
<Seraphna> Tabetha> The report said Kaelan was powering her and had some disorientation when she came to.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> She partially succeeded. She took over the will but in doing so has created a new vector in herself
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Thus making a new possible strain
<DeathStar> <Andrea> The Noire command where anyone she gets in contact will be taken over
<Dias`> <Dias> Well if she's goes all evil, I'll just punch her inline
<DeathStar> <Andrea> And another where she's one foot under control and one foot under her own, and is spreading the vector for it and herself.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> It sounds like we need to have her examined
<Dias`> <Dias> So how do we do that?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Well it is Noire we're talking about
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I'd say that even if we knew she succeeded."
<DeathStar> <X> Who is with Charlotte
<DeathStar> <X> And can be being infected as we speak
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'll try to get in touch with dad
<Seraphna> Angel> Do we bring her here?
<DeathStar> *Aya steps off to the side* That might not be a bad idea; use my shuttle and prepare to go to the resort incase a fight is needed to do so
<DeathStar> <Aya> Noire is not a person you want to underestimate
<Seraphna> Angel> And she has a small army plus at least one other powerful Dark One with her.
<DeathStar> *Andrea gathers her books and hurries out to the shuttle*
<Dias`> <Dias> I know. I spent years training with her.
<DeathStar> <X> You know, Dias, if you go out there
<DeathStar> <X> You could become one of her lackeys
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Or at least your arm could."
<Dias`> <Dias> You think?
<Dias`> *Dias eyes his arm*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Can you imagine having to fight your own arm? It'd be worse than having to fight an army of darkness."
<Dias`> <Dias> Hmmm. *He starts contemplating it*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Dias will go
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Because he fights
<Dias`> <Dias> I'll even keep the shackles on. *He punches the air*
<DeathStar> <Evette> I won't do much good out there so I'll remain here and gather data
<DeathStar> <Evette> All of you - try not to die. *She stands back with Aya*
<Dias`> <Dias> That's one of the top 3 things I'm good at!
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *reports of the resort battle has come in and how the fighting has ceased for now*
<DeathStar> *though with half the population MIA in the ocean..*
<DeathStar> <Ako> How do we want to play this?
<DeathStar> *Jikuu's people have discovered so far the teleporters have dark one corruption in them still, leaving the teleporters off line*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *works on a purge program for the teleporter network*
<DeathStar> *Syiean sits on the bridge, studying the ships they sent out and the reports sent back*
<DeathStar> *As Myria is working on that, the lights suddenly dim and the PAX goes into emergency mode*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well that’s not great.
<DeathStar> *Syiean brings up what is the cause*
<DeathStar> <Syiean> ... how the hell?
<Seraphna> Jaime> What is it?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "What's the cause?"
<DeathStar> <Syiean> All the progenitor batteries have dipped to critical levels and need recharges. But without Drasek and Ao around, whoever does it will be in great pain, especially with how long it takes
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huuuuuuh?"
<DeathStar> <Syiean> And if we wait too long... *referring to the shields and whatnot*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "None of the other systems are infected, I hope."
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns and moves to engineering**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is an old ship. Battery drainage is not uncommon
<Seraphna> **Sammael joins her**
<DeathStar> *she arrives on the bridge*
<DeathStar> *Jaime and Sammael move toward 2 of the 4 batteries*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "If it's just the teleporters, we can live without them. If it's not, or it spreads..."
<DeathStar> <Syiean> I'll handle one
<DeathStar> *She stands up and heads for battery 3*
<Seraphna> **Aonee joins her**
<DeathStar> <Syiean> Thanks, this will be painful you know
<Seraphna> Aonee> I can handle it.
<Seraphna> Sephie> Can you help them, Grandmother? **speaks up, having been observing**
<DeathStar> *Erevis glances at Sephie* If it becomes necessary.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *checks an engineering console to see if something drained the hyperspace power cells*
<DeathStar> *she checks the bridge controls, checking as the power levels begin to rise*
<Seraphna> **Sephie takes a seat in her mother’s throne and runs her hand over the hyperspace input, looking things over herself**
<DeathStar> *Jaime gets a message stating Adeline is coming - but has to come the long way*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Tell me ... Sephie. What do you think of how this battle is going so far?
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huuuuh." *clicks the comm* "Hell? Engineering here!"
<Jackieness> Hello
<Seraphna> Sephie> Someone is playing chess while we play checkers.
<DeathStar> *Erevis stands before the bridge, sweeping through the controls as she brings up reports*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And how would you bring it to an end?
<Seraphna> **Sephie taps comms** Yes Myria?
<Jackieness> <Myria> "I ran a quick diagnostics, and something is tapped into the power conduits connecting the hyperspace power cells to the mains."
<DeathStar> *Erevis brings up a screen puts her hand down, then sweeps to their fleet capaibilities*
<DeathStar> *by now they're out of emergency state*
<Seraphna> Sephie> Mmm. What was the something? **she brings up the containment event** There was an anomaly here.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Looks like it already stopped when the lights started blinkign and we noticed it."
<DeathStar> *it appears the force fields held during all of it and the draining never got low enough to let anything out*
<DeathStar> *just enough to drop them to a state it had to be bumped back up*
<Seraphna> Sephie> Grandmother? Could you charge a backup battery in case we have another dip?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Of course. I would not want the ship in a dire state. *She finishes whatever she is doing with the console and steps away, then heads for engineering*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Maybe...it was a Progenitor who snuck on board looking for a recharge?"
<DeathStar> <Ako> If that is the case
<Seraphna> **Sephie checks what she was looking over as Libbie sets up the battery for Erevis**
<DeathStar> <Ako> That's troublesome
<DeathStar> *she looks at Jikuu*
<DeathStar> *the only screens registered as being looked at is the ship stuff and fleet stuff*
<Seraphna> **Sephie runs it over real quick to see if there was a pattern while Libbie gets the charge stared for Erevis**
<DeathStar> *Erevis watches emotionlessly, waiting to step in*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Resort Planet
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Be sure to watch the batteries. If any signs of infection occur, disconnect them."
<DeathStar> *the ocean so far has not found any sign of Bobbi, but there has been a sign of a stray Dark One or two when Aya's message to Chad arrives*
<Dias`> *Chad taps his ear, listening*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...nothing. Some strays...but the main mass has disappeared...how annoying."
<DeathStar> *Gemane crawls out of Kaelan's shadow and moves toward Charlotte quietly*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blinks a bit**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Can I help you?"
<Dias`> <Chad> And how's that possible? *he glances at cheryl*
<DeathStar> <Gemane> Yes. Hug?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dark Porting
<DeathStar> *she looks at the message*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan raises a brow at this and pulls some pieces of paper from her kimono**
<Dias`> *Chad taps his finger on his chair a bit, thinking* So they could be off world.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...no."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Could be
<DeathStar> *Gemane snaps forward with the speed of a makai to grab at Charlotte's mouth while Suisen rises from the shadow to grab Kaelan's arm**
<DeathStar> <Ren> Eh!?
<Alicia> * Charlotte evades, slapping Gemane away with a tendril.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> My wives taken? That’s Annoying.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
<Dias`> <Chad> So you don't feel any different, then?
<Dias`> *He looks at Noire*
<DeathStar> *Gemane oofs and bounces, forming her wand and aims at Charlotte to form a kinky japanese rope to try to tie her up*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan glows with moonlight and tries to grab up Gem with moon strands while Truth grabs at Sudako**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I feel myself...though this mess seems to have... ... ...Gemane, Sudako... behave."
<DeathStar> *Gemane flails at the moonlight while Sudako is grabbed and snarls, beginning to transform into somethign akin to Noire when both of them kind of stop at Noire's command*
<DeathStar> <Ren> what the hell? *she pauses before bashing the two with her weapon*
<DeathStar> *The two just kind of pacify and sit*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What the hell is going on Noire?
<Dias`> *Chad studies her, even with his stoic demeanor, he's clearly on defense with her*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...this is annoying..." *slips off her glasses and rubs the bridge of her nose, not unlike what Cassandra did back in the day*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It leaked through you into them."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...apparently so."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So. You feeling yourself?
<Dias`> <Chad> How do we confirm that you're not going to be a liability?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> She might could help
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I'm feeling just fine, but I am now irritated that the spell did not go off without a hitch."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If she still has a grip on herself, she might could use it to trace Bobbi
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Granted it might backfire opening herself up
<Dias`> <Chad> Exactly.
<Dias`> <Chad> We're already seeing a negative side effect of this already.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...then we should prepare some metal defenses if I am to do this."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan frowns and ties up her wives in the moonlight strands** I can probably at least keep my own down with blessed lines.
<Jackieness> mental
<DeathStar> *Kaelan's shadow shows hundreds of eyes preparing to escape and go after Charlotte*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... *pulls Charlotte behind herself*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "To be blunt, Kaelan...if this is working as expected, you are probably already infected and its leaking into your shadowspace since you are too strong for it to passively grab your mind."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Try not go to sleep any time soon
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh great..."
<Dias`> <Chad> So we're surrounded by a punch of ticking timebombs.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I only ask you prevent my daughters and wives from getting hurt, they shouldn’t be here.
<DeathStar> *Ren begins to tie up Noire*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why did you bring them?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> That’s the thing, I didn’t.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And to your misfortune, Chad, its best you not disembark from my vessel until we are certain its safe for anyone to leave."
<DeathStar> <Fate> Kaelan is like a beacon to them
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I ordered them to move to isolation. They’re warping through my shadows…
<DeathStar> <Fate> Infact, anyone with a bit of darkness in their heart will be a beacon soon
<DeathStar> *Fate holds the rope* Especially if Charlotte falls
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What do we do?
<Dias`> *Chad clicks his tongue, no looking incredibly irritated* Don't board our ship, Aya. *He notes.
<DeathStar> <Fate> Bobbi and Noire are linked as Noire is linked with you all.
<DeathStar> *Aya confirms* <Aya> Understood
<DeathStar> <Fate> You have to have that link broken
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So do we kick Bobbi’s ass? Build a mind barrier? Wave Char around as a ward?
<Dias`> <Chad> And how do we go about that?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *stands* "I am hitting the books again... in the meantime, try to come up with a way to deal with all of the infected before I attempt to severe the link."
<DeathStar> *Fate peers down* Death would be the easiest way.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...since when have we ever picked the easy way?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Pretend like you know we’d never take that bullshit.
<DeathStar> <Fate> Then I am unsure. You can try to topple her again in the hive
<DeathStar> <Fate> But I fear a second attempt will be all you get
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Then we go in strong. Noire, Char and I together. Power of Three.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hold on
<Seraphna> Kaelan> They are NOT taking my kits.
<DeathStar> <Ren> You plan to drag Charlotte to them?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What’s the story here? They want her. She must have something they fear us having.
<Dias`> <Chad> I don't like this.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Same
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Third
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That, or something they need."
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... *looks at Charlotte* It's .. your call
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We are not charging in blindly. That is, admittedly, how I caused this new situation."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yeah. A plan. And muscle.
<Dias`> <Chad> Unless this is what they want.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "In that case, I should deliberate. We all should."
<DeathStar> *alarms go off; Bobbi rises from the ocean and faces them*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sits and rubs the heads of her wives**
<DeathStar> *right as Aya's ship comes out of hyperspace*
<Seraphna> Angela> I think Bobbi had the same idea.
<Dias`> <Chad> No time for that. Cheryl take evasive actions. *He begins to lock in on Bobbi*
<Seraphna> **The Suisen ships ready to open fire on Bobbi**
<DeathStar> *Noire would feel Bobbi's fingers crawling in her mind, attempting to hijack her*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...no auntie...not today."
<Seraphna> **The ships open fire with concentrated beams**
<DeathStar> *Bobbi turns and begins to fly even at her size and suddenly zooms at them, dark porting right at them and begins to unleash what appears to be a black hole amongst them*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: EarthGov Ship
<Seraphna> **Kaelan starts praying, creating a circle with her moon strands and giving Noire mental backup**
<DeathStar> *Lemon leans in as she watches the Suisen Ships have a black hole opened among them*
<DeathStar> <X> That what you wanted?
<Dias`> <Dias> That looks bad.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> ... *looks at her books in the back*
<Seraphna> **They start working to counter it with Megumi brand tech, if they can**
<Seraphna> **Angel mumbles** Plan?
<DeathStar> *1/3rd of the ships manage to escape*
<DeathStar> <X> Well, I can ripple you all to that thing and you can punch it
<DeathStar> <X> I can also form a weaponized dragon and fly us there
<Seraphna> Angel> For once, I like the punching plan.
<Dias`> <Dias> I came all this way to punch something and it's been a few years since I've gotten to ride you in to battle, love.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> The problem is I don't have any real dark artifacts that might work on that thing. I should have grabbed the Fumoffu treasures
<DeathStar> <Andrea> But the teleports were down
<DeathStar> *X opens the side door, then jumps out, turning into a stange type of dragon*
<Dias`> *Dias leaps out behind her, landing on her back*
<DeathStar> *Andrea comms Chad*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Winters
<Dias`> <ChadComm> Yes?
<Seraphna> **Tabetha and Angel get on**
<DeathStar> *Lemon leaps out after Dias, landing beside him*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Have one of the girls try this spell. *She holds up the pages to the camera*
<Dias`> *Chad eyes it and has an Id appear and display it for the Dark Ones*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> It's a spell that gives links each other to form a powerful Dark One in spirit, mind, and body. Well, with Noire's situation it can't hurt any more than it is. Only problem is that it requires absolute trust in the linkers.
<DeathStar> *X flies them toward Bobbi who right now is flinging Dark Matter at the Idol Ship*
<DeathStar> *perhaps sensing Reikana on board*
<Dias`> *Chad relays that information to the dark ones*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm? Really?" *looks at the spell*
<DeathStar> *Athena arrives on the bridge as the attack comes in to eat away at their shields and hull*
<DeathStar> *it seems simply - up to 3 stand in a circle, share their blood via palm, chant the spell, focus on each other, etc.*
<Dias`> *Dias right hand begins glowing with Holy engine, then bursts out right, leaving tendrils hanging off it*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hey it’s the threesome I mentioned. I’m in if it’ll save the kits.
<DeathStar> *Bobbi turns to X's team and begins to form a black hole on them*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...as irritating as Kaelan is...I suppose she has not let us down...recently..."
<DeathStar> *right as X gets close enough for them to jump onto Bobbi*
<Seraphna> **Angel sends a hyperspace blast at the hole**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I’m a bit of a bitch but you’re my friends. I trust you.
<DeathStar> *the resulting action causes the blackhole to act strange and knocks everyone off X and go flying through the air*
<DeathStar> *Lemon flails and lands on the shoulder*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm for this. It feels less of a last resort than some things I've suggested."
<Seraphna> **Tabetha TK grabs the group to slow them**
<Dias`> *Dias is tumbles in the until he corrects his free fall and kicks against the air, launching himself in at Bobbi, breaking through the TK grab*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm....then let's prepare mother's spell."
<DeathStar> *Bobbi reaches and grabs Aya's ship, crunches it and the connection to Andrea cuts out. Bobbi then holds the ship over her mouth and eats it*
<Seraphna> **Angel warps over Bobbi and starts stabbing hyper blades in**
<DeathStar> *jerkign as they attack and the pieces hit her chin*
<Dias`> *Dias launches in at Bobbi's stomach and swings his right hand in to it, releasing a flash of holy energy
<Seraphna> **Tabetha TK grabs the ship and pulls it away**
<Dias`> <Dias> Do not put it in your mouth!
<DeathStar> *Bobbi steps back and makes an angry rage cry, then spreads her wings out, tendrils appearing everywhere*
<Seraphna> **Kaelsn readies the ritual with them**
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Noire's Ship
<DeathStar> <Ren> .. Hey hey, you three really sure about this?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Absolute trust, becoming one being
<DeathStar> *Ren looks panicked for some reason*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And what is wrong, Ren?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You want in?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> What if this fails and you all three blow up, or worse it succeeds and all three of you become some new person I don't know
<Dias`> *Chad looks likes his contemplating stuff but remains silent on the topic before he looks at at Cheryl*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl eyes the connection ending as she flies them in close, the tendrils filling the sky*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I trust you all. We’re a team of our own.
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... .... Alright.
<DeathStar> *Ren hands her knife so they can draw blood and share it*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...we're Fumoffu club, afterall."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **cuts and passes it on**
<Alicia> * Charlotte cuts hers and passes it on to Noire.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *takes it, draws blood* "Ready."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Let’s kick this usurper out of our turf.
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes the stuff given before Andrea cut off* Hold hands and recite: Of body and mind, we are one. Dark passages we will explore together, eyes we share together, sights to behold as one. Breath we draw together, life and death we shall share.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Then focus on each other
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes all the other lines, going on and on but cuts that out*
<Dias`> *Chad unholsters his gun, aiming it at the three, waiting*
<DeathStar> *Taiga quietly observes while the Tsivrixsh scientist is jotting notes in his cell*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *focuses*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **focuses, doing as instructed**
<Alicia> * Charlotte does so, trusting the others to not let her get horribly infected.
<DeathStar> *There's a dark glow around the three, then as it fades, a new Dark One is present that seems to have the traits of all of them. With even larger breasts as possible, making Ren jerk a moment, then studies the being. The link to the Dark Ones on the beach is still there judging by the beings on the beach, but Gemane and Sudako seem to be back to their senses as well. While retaining a semi link to Bobbi - in their favor*
<DeathStar> *being 3 in one, you three may all control this being*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan’s aspect opens their Dark Spirit energy and empowers them more, using foxfire to etch runes and blessings over them**
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... Is uh.... well....
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...now... to go forth and free aunt Bobbi."
<DeathStar> *She looks at the foxy looking Noire Dark One*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Is Charlotte alive?
<Alicia> * Charlotte's aspect studies for a moment, before seeking to free the Dark Ones from whatever the infection is
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Oh yes she is~
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh yeah, fine."
<Dias`> *Chad slowly holsters his gun*
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes this being talk about various things like this; Cheryl shares a look with Chad*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Split personality?
<DeathStar> *Noire's Dark Ones begin to jerk and look in agony, falling on the ground and writhe*
<DeathStar> *as if they're dying; cheryl scans them* Something is burning out of them
<Dias`> <Chad> It would appear their conciousness' are seperated at least. I can only only imagine how the Progenitors will respond to this now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It looks like half of them are losing whatever is in them
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmm...they had better resond with gifts and praise."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "At least what they can."
<DeathStar> *indeed, half of them are puking up their guts and seem to be looking confused like Gemane; the othe half seem to just die*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright we'll get you in close to Bobbi.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Now to punish the fallen Queen.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hold on tight. *She takes them in*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Resort Beach Battle
<DeathStar> *tendrils fly all over the place, one slaps Lemon high in the sky while X is grabbed and her dragon form is beginning to be crushed*
<DeathStar> *the Idol Ship in the sky is grabbed from the air and yanked down, alarms going off* <Athena> Abandon ship
<DeathStar> *Athena motions at her idols to go to the escape pods*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...right." *nods and heads for the wescape pods, makign sure the younger idols make it first*
<Dias`> <Dias> Hands off my wife. *He appears above the hand, swinging both hands down at the elbow to cause Bobbi to release her grip*
<Seraphna> **Thena and Saga warp with Athena off**
<DeathStar> <Athena> MEROWWWL
<Seraphna> **Angel comes back up and stand down with a large hyper blade at Bobbi**
<Alicia> * Victoire heads to the escape pods. "I really hope this is safe..."
<DeathStar> *the tendril bounces and then coils around Dias, letting go*
<DeathStar> *the escape pods jettison, each one equipped with mini - song machines so they can keep singing inside*
<Seraphna> **Other Thenas pop in and out helping any that don’t get to pods**
<DeathStar> *the Idol Ship begins to crash into the beach in the background*
<Dias`> *Dias growls as he slams both hands outwards top keep himself from behind crushed* NO! You need to take me out for a seafood dinner first.
<Seraphna> Saga> We lose too many ships Momma. I want super shields next time.
<DeathStar> *Bobbi opens her mouth and unleashes a dark beam at Dias, taking out one of hre tendrils, when the hyprespace attack cuts her in half*
<DeathStar> *Bobbi sliding in two like a game*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> .... *hops down onto the beach* We did it team
<DeathStar> *X dusts herself off*
<Seraphna> **Angel leaps back, watching the Bobbizilla warily**
<DeathStar> *Bobbi's two halves begin to switch themseles together with dark energy and the being begins to chant a spell; the sky darkening and the water turning into dark liquids*
<DeathStar> *a dark orb appears ala Majora's Mask and slowly begins to descend*
<Seraphna> **Angel rockets up and starts blasting a straight beam at it**
<DeathStar> *the beam hits it and bounces off into the sky; a star winking out ala DBZ*
<Dias`> *Dias lands on the ground, appearing from a smoke ball of dark one beam*
<DeathStar> *Andrea crawls out of the wreckage, the closer the dark orb gets, the more gravity begins to try to lift the group up toward it*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ... Any ideas? <X> I could try to bond with Hotaru real quick to make a super dragon
<Dias`> <Dias> Ho boy that things troubling. *he shakes dirt off himself* X, how ya feeling?
<DeathStar> <X> I still have some in the tank
<DeathStar> *Lemon takes a deep breath* I'm no Cheryl, but I could try to self-destruct on it
<Seraphna> **Tabetha forms her guns**
<Seraphna> Angel> Lemon. Nope. Down girl.
<Dias`> <Dias> Then do what ya gotta do. I'll back ya up. *He takes in a deep breathe as the air around him behind to get heavy and crackle with energy*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> You have an idea to stop it before that attack reaches us?
<Dias`> <Dias> We break it.
<Seraphna> Angel> Throw Dias at it.
<DeathStar> *X focuses on upgrading one of her moves*
<DeathStar> *Noire's ship comes flying in*
<Seraphna> **Angel starts forming a hyperspace barrier for the group**
<DeathStar> *The hanger in the back lowering and Ren leaps out, arms spread as she lands on the ground. Taiga follows a moment later*
<Dias`> *The ground below Dias cracks then craters as the air becomes heavier around him. Holy energy begins crackling around him as dirt begins to gather around his left arm*
<DeathStar> *The hyperspace attacks burn holes along Bobbi's body as Fate appears behind Dias, watching*
<DeathStar> *X unleashes a massive ripple to try to cut Bobibi in half*
<DeathStar> *Ren shouts up* Alright you three. The coast is clear for you
<Dias`> <Dias> Standing by myself, eh? *He smirks slightly as his skin begins to crack from the holy energy*
<Dias`> *my side*
<DeathStar> *As she says that, Bobbi aims and fires a massive beam attack at Noire's ship, engulfing it and sending the ship cratering down into the ocean*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ...! You... monster
<Dias`> *Dias suddenly steps forward, disappearing and appearing above the Dark Orb, letting the gravity pull him in, only to disappear and reappear again, and again, gaining more and more spead until he appears below it and launches up at the Dark Orb, swinging his fists into it*
<DeathStar> *Bobbi peers up at the crazy man attacking the orb*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan’s aspect opens a foxhole, those who were still on thrown out to the beach**
<Dias`> *Chad hits the beach, rolling hard and looking upset*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan’s aspect has their united form step out after and look annoyed at the Bobbi**
<DeathStar> *Cheryl coughs water up as the dark orb begins to engulf Dias and eradicate him. While it appears he's indeed slowing it down, maybe even pushing it back, Dias' entire being is slowly being destroyed outside his one arm*
<DeathStar> *Ren has begun to manipulate reality on Bobbi, trying to cause her to jerk out of synch*
<DeathStar> *while she stabs her leg*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *directs the aspect to summon a giant Dark One form similar to what she sued in the final battle with Nyarl after Ren was killed*
<Seraphna> **Angela pulls others to safety, especially those who were locked up**
<Dias`> *The left hand suddenly grabs on to it, Dark Matter energy coursing through it and flaring up brightly*
<DeathStar> <X> .... *seems to have her ripple ready*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan’s aspect starts trying to disrupt all the thrilled under Bobbi, trying to weaken it overall**
<Seraphna> **thralled
<Alicia> * Charlotte searches for weak points, both in Bobbi's attacks and the infection.
<DeathStar> *the dark orb shudders in the air, still hanging there as it slowly pushes back; by now, if one looked closely, it would appear a mere skeleton with one good arm is pushing it backwards*
<DeathStar> <X> *opens the ripple to yank him*
<Dias`> *The hand pulses and and attempts to hurl it upwards into space as the rest is ripple*
<DeathStar> *Kaelan would find that Bobbi's thralls are no longer on the planet, oddly*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan mentally has her wives tell the others that, to send a warning**
<DeathStar> *X grabs the skeleton Dias with one good arm as it is flung away, the shaking gone. Bobbi turns; the weaknesses on her appearing that she is now low on energy after that attack*
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> ... *forms a legion of tendrils around herself again to protect herself*
<Dias`> *The skeleton crashes in to the ground*
<DeathStar> <X> .... *kneels by Dias* ....
<Jackieness> <Noire> *casts through her aspect, summong many dark arms to go and try to tear the tendrils away from Bobbi*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan zeroes in on the weakness and helps guide the blows**
<DeathStar> *the tendrils move aorund to try to block the attacks, roaring and unleashing a weak dark beam at them to try to push them away*
<DeathStar> *X sits there, strangely emotionless as if she is in shock or disbelief and waiting for Dias to do something*
<Seraphna> **Angela moves over by Dias and starts using her Holy Healing and Revival to try and help**
<DeathStar> *the arm hates the holy energy and burns*
<Alicia> * Hotaru does what she can too
<Dias`> *The skeleton suddenly arches as flesh begins to reform from the left arm, slowly then quickly then slowly again*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "...the second coming."
<Seraphna> **Thena pops in and hands Angela her pendant, Angela raises a brow and tries… Water Healing**
<DeathStar> *the arm this time accepts it better, growing - almost too fast from the arm*
<DeathStar> *the arm glowing afterward like a heartbeat*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ....*watches the battle while Cheryl moves over to Dias* Well that's something
<Dias`> *The skeleton painfully and rather gruesesomely begins to reform until Dias lips and lungs form and he starts screaming in pain*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan keeps backing Noire’s actions**
<DeathStar> <X> Dias?!
<DeathStar> *Bobbi unleashes another dark beam at them, the tendrils forming a shield*
<DeathStar> *it seems to be trying to keep them back*
<Alicia> * Charlotte also backs up Noire's, while guiding at the weak spots
<DeathStar> *under them, a dark pool is forming*
<Dias`> *Chad having gotten up slowly begins making distance*
<Dias`> *Dias hunches over as his skin finally forms, breathing heavily*
<DeathStar> <X> You okay. *She feels over Dias*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan burns foxfire around them in a circle pushing darkness that is not theirs away**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to weaken Bobbi*
<DeathStar> *Bobbi turns hre head suddenly, spots somethingm and hre tendril shield losers to grab at it*
<DeathStar> *4*
<DeathStar> *3*
<DeathStar> *2*
<DeathStar> *1*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan cojnrrs**
<Seraphna> *counters**
<DeathStar> *the tendrils snap right in front of andrea*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> !!
<Alicia> * Charlotte attempts to sever Bobbi's tendrils
<Seraphna> **Kaelan bats them away with their own tendrils** She is OURS.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *has the dark arms starts piston punchign rapdly at Bobbi's corrupted form*
<Dias`> <Dias> Not sure yet. *He pants, as he grabs onto X's leg squeezing tightly* Only second time I've had this happen.
<DeathStar> *Bobbi weakens and shrinks down to normal size, without any tendrils now*
<DeathStar> <X> Trying to make a habbit
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...we must try to cleanse her now."
<Dias`> <Dias> Well both times you saved me. *He smiles a bit, even though he's naked.* He glances at his left arm*
<Alicia> * Charlotte begins that
<Dias`> <Dias> It's never done that before.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to destroy Bobbi's infection*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **helps**
<DeathStar> *as they reach out, the thing inside them rebuffs them. Unlike the others that this "virus" felt like a raging beast, here in Bobbi ti feels very, very close to the being that contacted Charlotte - intelligent*
<DeathStar> <????> You believe you can unseat me? You have just given me a window into all of you and your thoughts
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Unseat you? We’re going to rule you pathetic virus~
<DeathStar> <???> A virus? That is what you believe I am?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> No, we think you’re a worm.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan reinforces the other two giving them her power**
<DeathStar> <????> I have been here long before you and will be here long after you are gone. I have helped raise your race to the far reaches of space and given them great strength. As much as it would be tempting to kill this one that you are attempting to drive me out of, I will move on for now. And wait until we meet again
<Dias`> *Dias slowly pushes himself up, glancing over at Bobbi* I don't know if I have enough in the tank right now.
<DeathStar> *Bobbi suddenly convulses and spits up and falls over*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Its left."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Get out of our space.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ah yes. The whole 'I didn't lose, I just got bored of fighting' speech."
<DeathStar> *Andrea kneels by Bobbi* She is alive but in a coma. *She looks over the ones that lived* All of them are
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well we can consider this a victory but we srill have the Tsivrixsh and anyone else with this thing in them
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Get our hospital here running. Inform the in-laws.
<Dias`> <Dias> Thank the fists. *He steps backwards, putting an arm around X*
<DeathStar> *a glowing energy being lands behind them* <?????> Well, I'm glad I didn't jump in then and fry your friend
<Jackieness> <Noire> "The thing escaped to wherever...but it was most certainly here."
<Dias`> <Chad> That's not gonna make things easy. We stopped the Dark One infection, but...*He eyes the glowing behind*
<DeathStar> *X leans on dias*
<DeathStar> *Wind stretches*
<Seraphna> Angel> **looks over**
<Seraphna> Angel> You’re in this too?
<DeathStar> <Wind> I was asked to help stop the problem
<DeathStar> <Wind> But you had this under contorl
<Dias`> <Chad> By who?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "This is not a true ending, indeed. However, for now, we have won."
<Seraphna> Angel> Erevis rope you in with Ao and Drasek without telling us?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...Wind. This thing was apaprently sealed away one before. Do you have any inkling as to how?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> Well, first the message came in from Drasek and Ao that something was out of control with the Dark Ones; then I spoke to Erevis and she told me something was taking them over so I was poking around
<Dias`> *Chad studies Wind* Hmmm
<DeathStar> <Wind> From what I can tell, outside what you just did, removing that thing is nearly impossible
<Seraphna> Angel> Didn’t bring your squad this time?
<DeathStar> *Wind thinks* I'll be honest, My past? I don't know much about it
<DeathStar> <Wind> And no. Not right now
<Dias`> <Chad> He's from a different reality. His past and it's past may not line up.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> We can burn it out of them perhaps?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...we were tryign to investigate the Cartel world where Charlotte first encoutnered it, Unfortunately, the Tsivrxsh showed up with them under its thrall."
<Dias`> <Chad> So Drasek and Ao asked for your help. *He looks at Noire* Than that's where we need to do more research.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Well, they also wanted me to keep an eye on Erevis
<DeathStar> <Wind> Just incase
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It really is. So... how long does this last, Andrea?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> .....
<Seraphna> Angel> Yeah, about that. Even they don’t trust her?
<Dias`> <Chad> Interesting.
<DeathStar> *Andrea peers to the side*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "..." *turns and frowns* "...we need to bring my ship back up and repair it*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...I see."
<Dias`> <Chad> Than I'll ask you, did you try and access the Cheryl's mansion base?
<DeathStar> <Wind> I haven't been there, no. Do you want me to take you all there?
<DeathStar> <Wind> Otherwise my plan was to head to Tsivrixsh space and check on the status
<Seraphna> Angel> We found traces of hyperspace in there. I want to keep the theory of was accidental but…
<Dias`> <Chad> Well if you're telling the truth, then it narrows things down.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Well, I have been seeing quite a few Progenitors lately, which has surprised me. I would have thought one would have been here
<Jackieness> <Noire> "As I said..." *looks back at Wind* "The Tsivrxsh have become enthralled, though its not universal. However, they got the leadership and most of the military."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks back* "In fact, we rescued a witness."
<DeathStar> <Wind> Interesting. Sounds like I have a lot of catching up to do. *he rises up* I'll let you know my findings then. Especially with all the Dark Ones in that ocean porting off to who knows where
<DeathStar> *Andrea glances at books and walks up the new Dark One the three made, taking her hand*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...of course, Wind."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> This might work, but keep in mind there will be consequences for breaking it
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Are you three ready?
<DeathStar> *she places a knife in their hand*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...what consequences?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I guess. I rather like this.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> This spell will never work again for you three. At least for you three together, but it might not ever work for any of you in another combination
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Just keep in mind the longer you remain the harder it will be to break it
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...I see."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Fiiiine.
<Dias`> <Dias> God I could use some sleep.
<DeathStar> *Ren shifts, clearly uneasy at that idea*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So leaving it until we have completely won is not viable..."
<DeathStar> <X> We'll get you back to Earth
<Dias`> *Chad moves over to Cheryl, leaning in and whispering to her*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> It'll probably result in harsher pentalities yes
<DeathStar> <Andrea> What do you three want to do?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Look, you three in one body would mean no more sexy times with my wife
<Jackieness> <Noire> "LEt's rest on it first. I wouldn't try to break the bonds while we are sitll weakened from the battle anyway."
<DeathStar> *Ren flails*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I just want my kits safe.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl nods* It would seem that is the case
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We should at least be in total agreement about this before we continue with either."
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Erevis finishes pumping up the battery and returns to the bridge*
<Seraphna> **Sephie looks up, waving away the scans**
<Seraphna> Sephie> Good news, the Dark Ones cleansed most of their own infection.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would seem so.
<DeathStar> *Erevis reaches the bridge and reads the report*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sits tiredly and peers at reports** Mother.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would appear your friends have halted the infection on the world. What will be your next plans?
<Jackieness> <Myria> *returns to trying to clean up the teleporter network*
<DeathStar> *Adeline arrives by shuttle and joins them on the bridge*
<Seraphna> Jaime> The Tsivrixsh are still infected. We will have to deal with them next. The intelligence made contact with the team too.
<Seraphna> Jaime> It claimed to not be a virus. It seems to have an ego too.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, it will continue to try to spread itself and seek out places it can appear in full force to overwhelm like it did here.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Virus. Ego. Some might consider us virus.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Would you?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think it’s time you told us what you know.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Absolutely."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. It the ancient version of the Dark Ones - their true form, have you not. The Dark Ones and the Progenitors would not have simply gone to war over differences of ideas
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Nor would the Erusians have joined us in such
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The Dark Ones at some point began to raze the galaxy and spread like lotus and anything they across with darkness in their heart, they adapted into their culture and being
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Many races fell and became a part of them
<Seraphna> Jaime> A Hive Intellect seized them and began to absorb all it could. Why did it stop?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The Erusians were pushing them at one side and we were pushing them on the other side with an experiment to try to stop them. Weapons were also wiping out their people. So, it is assumed they backed off, or acted that way, or what was inside them "went to sleep" so long it would be forgotten. The Dark Ones were still a mighty threat even with that primal thing inside them gone
<Seraphna> Jaime> We know our ancestors were working on a hybrid Progenitor and a Dark One destroyer. At least one of them seems to be in play now.
<DeathStar> *Erevis folder hands together* Yes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your trip to the other galaxy
<Seraphna> Jaime> Did these wake it up?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Did they wake it up? *she ponders that* No.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Then what?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Something had to cause it to wake.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe it was touching a powerful Dark One mind all the way across the galaxy - many of them
<Seraphna> Jaime> Were you the one that went to the other side of the galaxy before our team?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *quietly scans Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was there, yes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So I am aare that Charlotte's mind was likely the catalyst for a few things. And why they seek her out
<Seraphna> Jaime> Can you share what you erased?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Can you also share their reasoning?"
<DeathStar> *Erevis studies the time* Hm. I tell you what
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Come to me later and I will answer more of your questions in a proper setting. I need to check up on something. *she bows her head*
<DeathStar> *Erevis then seems to retreat out the door*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Okay.
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks to Adeline**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> What do you think?
<Seraphna> Jaime> We tried to scan when she powered the battery but she filtered her signature out.
<Seraphna> Jaime> That alone says she’s hiding something. But I don’t know what.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'll work to get her true signature then. I suspect she might be the one who attacked Mem
<Seraphna> Jaime> Why…
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I would be surprised if not, at this point."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> That's the question
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Perhaps Mem knew something, perhaps there was 'darkness in her heart'."
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Epilogue:
<DeathStar> *Progenitors gather around in space as a message comes in*
<DeathStar> <Voice> Secured the object. Keep an eye on them and their spread. Do not let the corruption get out of hand. Locate the hybrid of possible
<DeathStar> *the Progenitors float in space next to a small looking doomsday craft, not far from the Tsivrixsh systems*
<DeathStar> -TBC-

<DeathStar> -Minis Open-
<DeathStar> *Lemon's team finally manages to get back home, while Ren flops back at the PAX, depressed*
* Dias` has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<DeathStar> <Ren> I want my boncy breasted Chaaar baaack
<DeathStar> *Fate sits at the bar, holding a pink drink, while Ren bemoans beside her*
Session Start: Tue Sep 10 00:00:00 2024
Session Ident: #PWSession4
<Seraphna> **Sephie pats Ren** You'll get her back shortly.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Raah
<Seraphna> Sephie> My Mother in Law can’t possibly go without relief much longer.
<DeathStar> *Ren chews on a hamburger like it's spited her*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Noire might not like sharing a body with a sexually active deviant and my Char. Ho ho ho
<Seraphna> Sephie> So nothing to worry about. They’re just focused on stopping the threat first.
<DeathStar> *Ren sniffs at Sephie*
<DeathStar> *Taiga sits in the Fumoffu room, going over the stuff they have retrieved*
* Dias` has joined #PWSession4
<DeathStar> *Taiga catalogues various items they retrieved out in the Progenitor galaxy and jots notes, running experiments on them*
<Dias`> *Id floats up slowly begind Taiga*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hello Id. *she pulls some tools out from her desk in the fumoffu club* How are you
<Dias`> <Id> I'm well, how goes your research?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Now that we're on the PAX I can use the tools here to try to force some of these devices to work. They're all as old as the PAX at least. Some are mundane, like scanners or devices to store information logs on like our datapads. The more complicated ones I'm still trying to figure out. *she turns* The information on the hybrid is taking longer since I don't read their langauge and am having the computer translate it for me. It'll take a few days
<Dias`> <Id> Hopefully none were left behind as a trap.
<DeathStar> *Taiga motions at the PAX computer* The PAX should - note the should - alert me if there is something sus about them. However, we are using Progenitor technology to peel back Progenitor technology and you can see the flaw in that
<Dias`> <Id> It would be like asking one of my fragments to hack in to another one.
<DeathStar> *Adeline joins the club room and sets up her own work station, bringing up a screen to track Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Right.
<Dias`> <Id> Well, hopefully none of them had the foresight to see this far into the future and set a trap.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That would be terrifying
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Id.
<Dias`> <Id> Yes Adeline?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'd like to start a little project
<Dias`> <Id> Oh? And what would that be?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> My foresight, or maybe it's just my nature that tells me this will never end with the enemy "defeated", I believe the Progenitors once they finish the Dark Ones or whatever is inside them, will continue their expansion. Darkness in the soul is too vague after all
<DeathStar> <Adeline> They will use it as an excuse to continue
<Dias`> <Id> That is something that Winters believes to.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I want to work with the Cartel on something but I need one of you with me due to my relations with their current proxy leader. *she turns the screen of the Cartel ships holding the PAX in place briefly as they tried to enter hyperspace* I want to stop a Progenitor
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The files on how they held Wind seem to be missing
<Dias`> <Id> Hmm. I understand that area is atouchy subject for you. Let me talk to Evette and Winters to see if they're willing to use their connections to get what you want.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Thank you
<DeathStar> *Taiga sets a Progenitor sphere aside and tries to fiddle with what looks to be a Progenitor logic toy; the equations in it on level for stuff for Chad and Aya*
<Dias`> <Id> Did you want this to be a governmental or more low key as the hip kids say?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We can make it offical. We are looking to make a joint use of their technology and ours after all
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Just ask them not to make it too "loud" so certain ears don't hear it
<DeathStar> *taps the screen with Erevis*
<Dias`> *Adeline get's a message from Chad that he's setting something up with Aya's permission but it'll be set up with a cover*
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods* Thank you
<Dias`> <Id> If you want, I can act like a proxy for you allowing you to talk through one of my shells. But know that your relation problem will most likely know already.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I do not mind meeting face to face, as long as I have handlers with me - for both sides
<DeathStar> <Adeline> So nothing can go awry
* Jackieness has joined #PWSession4
<Dias`> <Id> Hmm. I'm sure Winters will have planned for that possibility.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps into the club room* "Mmmmmm..."
<DeathStar> *Taiga holds up what looks to be a ring of sorts* Odd. A hyperspace being wearing a ring?
<DeathStar> *Taiga eyes the new being before her* Where do you three sleep at night?
<Dias`> <Id> That is an oddity is it not?
<DeathStar> *Taiga tries on the ring and studies it* Nothing
<Dias`> *Id turns to Noaellette*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I think we're going to break the spell once we're recovered."
<Dias`> <Id> If one of them decides not to?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I doubt there will be dissent."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Taiga will be happy; she's in the bar eating all the food
<DeathStar> *Ren
<Dias`> <Id> Hopefully there isn't, even though I am curious to see what would happen. *It pauses a bit* Interesting thought came through my processors. What if that spell is how the current Dark Ones we see were created.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
<DeathStar> *Ren orders more food, missing her Charlotte and takling to Sephie*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> How so?
<Dias`> <Id> Look at how strong Noire became when combining. If she chose to not break it apart, they'd become a new variant of Dark Ones which would then continue down their line.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ren is not happy about the situation, so Charlotte will wish to restore the status quo. And if you have not guessed, my persona... that is Noire, is currently dominating the fusion."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It is possible. *she nods*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And the latter point comes to the detriment of Kaelan, which gives her reason to wish to end this."
<Dias`> <Id> I suppose it would depend on when this dark spell was first created.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Andrea maybe can find out
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmm...as for Noire...I prefer to get power by my own efforts, not through these shortcuts."
<Dias`> <Id> I suppose we won't know if there's going to be any lingering side effects until you go your seperate ways.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Beyond what has already been spelled out."
<Dias`> <Id> Taiga, perhaps that ring can only be used by someone with Progenitor DNA. I imagine a pure Progenitor would be the most effective.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm? Ring?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You're probably right
<DeathStar> *she sets it down*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'll set it aside until we see one of them. *She shows Noire the ring retrieved from their adventures in the Progenitor galaxy*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm cataloging the stuff we got
<DeathStar> <Taiga> While the computer translates the logs and papers we got
<Jackieness> <Noire> "It might be familiar to the Erevis that appeared her."
<Jackieness> here
<Dias`> <Id> Well, we could use it as a test of sorts. Have someone wear it infront of her.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...who would be the question..."
<Dias`> <Id> Well we can't ask Progenitors.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm? What about Jaime or Jikuu?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *listens* If you do decide to show the Erevis, don't bring her to the club room. She hasn't come to this part of the ship yet
<Dias`> <Id> Showing it to them won't tell us if it has any meaning. Giving it to one may result in something but they're not fully Progenitors so what happens is hard to say.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Perhaps it holds no significance to her." *looks at Taiga* "...speakign fo ship. I wish to see my... Noire's...ship repaired."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> A lot of damage was done to it; it'll take some time
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I have the remains in the hanger right now though
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...it had become my home."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I have a crew working on doing work on it that I don't need to do. But just incase there is risk of sabotage
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I asked security to keep an eye on it too
<Dias`> <Id> Considering it's a flag ship of everything that the Progenitors of old didn't like.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm? Its a personal exploration ship."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It's a ship that has a powerful Dark core in it
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We have no idea if the virus can touc hit
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Or any other Dark ship
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...very well."
<Dias`> <Id> It seems anything with Dark One genetic coding or something affiliated with it could potentially be infected.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It will be a pain and I think that Erevis knows something
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Jaime needs to brig her
<Dias`> <Id> That may start something none of us are ready for
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hm
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...its more than just a virus. Just touching its mind created a new vector."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> What do you think it is
<Jackieness> <Noire> "An equivalent that might make sense to you would be like...mmmm... a spirit infection."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmm...or a cancer."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Interesting
<Dias`> <Id> Perhaps it's the very first dark one.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...maybe...though from what I have picked up...the Dak Ones were not so aggressive until this thing began to manifest."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hm
<DeathStar> *she is shaking something*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Jaime and Jikuu will pump Erevis soon and we'll get more out of her
<Dias`> <Id> I suppose we can only wait and see on that subject then. Hopefully Adeline's project will help us out just in case.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It should in theory
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Maybe not someone in the flesh
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmm?"
<Dias`> <Id> Well...Considering that how Erevis was born in our time, her essence was somewhere.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I am working on a project to pin a Progenitor like yanking a ship out of hyperspace
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...it would have been useful when the Eath team rescued mother from that rogue Progenitor."
<Dias`> <Id> Hindsight is 20/20 they say.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I apologize for not building it ahead of time before a legion of them showed up
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I will also build a device to deal with Dark Ones as well to be fair
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmm...I am not directing my annoyance at you, Adeline, just at the situation."
<Dias`> <Id> I believe our fear will be what happens if everyone takes the side of the Dark Ones against these mystery Progenitors.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, it is a valid fear since it's jumped races
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Plus can the Dark Ones be reinfected
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We have a brief lull to focus on the Progenitors at least
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...that would be annoying."
<Dias`> <Id> I know Winters has always theorized that they may have cast away their bodies eventually either went to a higher plane at the time or became part of the Hyperspace plane itself.
<Dias`> <Id> Well, like any cancer or virus, it can change and adapt.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well clearly not all of them did
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...when Kaelan called it a viirus, it took offense."
<Dias`> <Id> Erevis was able to house her concious and being in a...Hmmm.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Ironically it first happened due to someone else forcing her in it
<Dias`> *Taiga's datapad would flash a message*
<DeathStar> *Taiga glances down*
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods and jots down a location on the Fumoffu club board*
<DeathStar> *though its just coordniates*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'll tell you later. It's not a well known location
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I see...then I suppose I'd best separate out into my consituent parts so that we can have our club activity."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Sounds good
<Dias`> <Id> Is there anything else I should looking in too, Taiga?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We should keep an eye on the Resort Dark Ones and see if there are any relapses or ill effect being under their control. *motions at the threesome* Half died breaking the control so I hope that means they are immune. Cuddles has been taking blood samples
<Dias`> <Id> The best anyone can be in that regard is to be proactive and constantly check.
<Dias`> <Id> I'll relocate one of my shell's to the Dark One Resort to keep live scan on them.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Thank you
<DeathStar> *Ren crawls into the club*
<DeathStar> *in her wolfish form*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "....after this is done, my people will be diminished once more."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Kaelan will help fix that problem
<Seraphna> **Jaime pops in by Adeline**
<Dias`> <Id> Yes. She seems to want to breed far quicker and more often than the Gitari.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm? Kaelan?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then let her AFTER we have ended this fusion spell."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan makes their fusion ears wiggle**
<DeathStar> *Ren climbs up the new beings and smoothes into the chest area, clinging with paws*
<Seraphna> Jaime> She can hear this can’t she?
<Dias`> <Id> Only if Noire allows it. I believe she's the dominant one in the trio.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> No idea if they all can hear it or not. They seemd to be responding all at once at the beach
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We were working together due to the situation then."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well she doesn’t seem to express shame for it, so perhaps it doesn’t bother her.
<Dias`> <Id> Who decides who controls the body? Where it goes, when it sleeps or eats?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> There are a lot of tests I'd love to run on it.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmm?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But if you are breaking it I suppose there are no reason to
<Dias`> <Id> I agree with Taiga, we should experiment.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "MMmm...how long would these tests take to run?"
<Dias`> <Id> I know when fragments of me rejoin the collective it can be jarring depending on the amount of time spend away.
<Dias`> <Id> I suppose it would depend on pain tolerances and ability to stay conscious.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm mainly interested in if it's a new body, if you have a new IQ or does each of you retain the old, taking blood tests
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Standard stuff
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...I'll allow you to run as many tests as you cna within a single 24 hour period then. Beyond that point, we separate or endure worse side effects."
<Dias`> <Id> ...I suppose those would suffice also. It would be nice to know if the dna is the same. *it starts floating towards Noaellette, a thin probe sliding out of it's shell*
<DeathStar> *Taiga joins in while contacting Cuddles*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Interestig. An entirely new DNA. *she compares it with the other three* There's markers that indicate you could be a child of all three of them
<Dias`> <Id> What if this is the way they produced in the past.
<Dias`> <Id> Your average Dark One is of low intelligence and more instinct driven.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmm...with notable exceptions."
<DeathStar> *Taiga tries to guestimate an age* If I had to put your age, young adult, early teen mayne
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm..."
<Dias`> <Id> Of course their's a heirarchy and outliers.
<DeathStar> *Cuddles arrives, looking like she's dragging herself like a certain ancient Weapon who used to be a doctor here* <Cuddles> ...
<DeathStar> *Cuddles takes samples from Noire*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...of course...all at once."
<DeathStar> *Cuddles hands Noire a paper of questions* You answer and then the other two can answer when in contorl
<Jackieness> <Noire> "..." *eyes the questionnaire*
<DeathStar> *it seems to be stuff like do you feel your personality has been altered being of mind with the other two, do your feel your preferences have changed, do you feel your of the same mind as the other two or do your retain your own mind still, do you feel you can unlock the Dark Mystism easier*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...how annoying."
<DeathStar> *Ren howls from her chest*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...Ren...stop."
<DeathStar> *Ren puffs cheeks but quiets*
<DeathStar> *Adeline looks at Jaime* Looks like the foxes know their place. *puts fox ears on her*
<Seraphna> Jaime> The good ones tend to.
<Dias`> <Id> They're are bad ones?
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh my Momma Ama has done bad Fox enemies.
<Seraphna> **some
<Dias`> <Id> Taiga, have you looked over the data from Dias' arm since his recovery?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Cuddles? <Cuddles> Well, I haven't been able to pin him down for a full scan yet. But what little I saw is his arm from a few years back to now aren't quite the same. He definitely needs a full work up
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Either here on the PAX or at Earth
<Dias`> <Id> I'll send X a message to force or trick him to get it done. I know Winter's is concerned.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I'd be too.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Cuddles, should I get you some time off when this is all up? You seem tired.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I'm an old cat. And I'm running constantly right now checking on a ton of patients
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmmm, we should get you some up and coming doctor kittens.
<Dias`> <Id> I'm surprised you haven't already.
<DeathStar> *Cuddles sniffs*
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Youngsters just don't do it right
<Seraphna> Jaime> Jennifer’s time jump allowed her to fill in more after she got back.
<Dias`> <Id> I feel even Adeline would've been ready for this.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Perhaps one of your younger sisters shows promise?
<Dias`> <Id> To be fair, it's hard for the old generation to let go.
<DeathStar> *Cuddles sighs* I will see if any in the family can apprentice
<Dias`> <Id> Are there not more outside the family available?
<DeathStar> *Adeline studies them all* Is it that time of life, to apprentice? I will pit my daughters against each other then
<Seraphna> Jaime> I will see if any of ours want to be a doctor too.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I'll see if there are any interested in the position. Many apply for the city these days though
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I also work there and that is where the younger crowd flock to - Progenitor tech without worrying about attacks
<Dias`> *Id forms a hard light body* With Kane's tech fully perfected, and my instant connection to the holonet and every source of medical knowledge. I could suffice.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm, the Carmichaels gave us two very brave and skilled doctors.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I can bandaid my finger if that counts
<Dias`> <Id> Hmmm.
<Dias`> *Id drops the hard light form*
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Well, I wouldn't mind your help Id
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I've found human error to be annoying so it'd be appreciated
<Dias`> <Id> I would need to reallocate a shell to assist. Let me pass it by Evette to see if she's ok with that.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Of course. *She leans back in her seat and actually begins to doze off*
<Dias`> <Id> Perhaps eventually I could Ratatouille you during surgeries.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> That would be scary and interesting
<Dias`> <Id> If I could succeed with her, I wonder where the limit would be.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Is this some kind of possession?
<Dias`> <Id> Hardly. That would be morally wrong. Strongly guiding something, ambigiously grey.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I see. **she wraps an arm around Adeline**
<DeathStar> *Adeline studies the message and responds back*
<Dias`> <Id> I jest. I would never think about galactic domination. Flesh based beings are far to complicated to keep in blissful and ignorant world view.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> There may be a few methods, but you'd want to start with a planet as a test group before moving beyond
Session Start: Wed Sep 11 00:00:00 2024
Session Ident: #PWSession4
<Dias`> *Id floats over to Adeline getting very close to her face but leaving a respectable distance based on their history* Are you giving me permission to use a Suisen Empire planet to conduct a morraly grey experiment?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> On that accord, even I couldn't do that. There's only so much I can do without Jaime's wrath. Just a little
<Seraphna> Jaime> She uses most of it for her ultimate secret project.
<Dias`> <Id> Your wraith?
<Seraphna> Jaime> The little.
<Dias`> <Id> She only needs to use a little of you? I must confess, I'm confused
<Seraphna> Jaime> She said without my wrath. Perhaps your sensors did not pick it all up. **she kisses Adeline’s cheek**
<Dias`> <Id> My sensors do not pick up emotional tone.
<Dias`> <Id> And inflection of tone is hard to discern at times
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Essentially, I can overstep her bounds without angering her on almost everything
<DeathStar> <Adeline> But that would be one I think
<Dias`> <Id> If you convinced her it was for the Suisen Empire?
<DeathStar> *Adeline looks at Jaime* Hm. do you think you could be convinced, or to the brig would I go?
<Dias`> <Id> Scenario. Winters was a threat to the Empire and was actively weakening it's strength politically. Only solution was death. Would you do it?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Did we ever get that thing in him Adeline?
<DeathStar> *Adeline just plays quiet for now, letting Jaime handle that question*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Truthfully I don’t believe in the one solution situation, however I would certainly give him the opportunity to correct the matter himself. Given the subject is Winters I believe he could at least be convinced to eliminate the threat himself.
<Dias`> <Id> So you're saying he should be allowed to eliminate the Suisen Empire if he deems them a threat?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> If you want my answer, Winters typically plays the long con and I've observed he does what he believes is best for everyone
<Seraphna> Jaime> I was referring to the threat of himself.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Even if he might be wrong, or if others might hurt - what is the phrase, kill the one to save the majority
<DeathStar> <Adeline> If the scenario Winters is just weakening, I would not kill him, no. If he was attacking it physically, I might have to do something if I've exhausted all other trains of thought
<Dias`> <Id> sometimes the most painful death is watching everything you've seen built for you fall apart and not be able to do anything about it.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Adeline tends to be my brains. I’ve always been more passion than reason.
<Dias`> <Id> Indeed. Hence why you could be considered a threat.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I am however, not a dictator, and the question has a huge flaw.
<Dias`> <Id> I've seen numerous times you've made dangerous decisions fueled by passion that have cost you a lot.
<Seraphna> Jaime> There are two empresses, as Jikuu is the restraint in our mix.
<Dias`> <Id> Jikuu far more gut reaction first. As long as those around her answer first she tempers her response. If she's the only one...
<DeathStar> *Adeline spreads her hands* I am just an advisor. Pay me no mind
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm, good thing I’m the loud passionate one that speaks first then.
<Dias`> <Id> Lenneth(?) would question if that's a good thing.
