<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *several days have passed since Erevis' promise to speak on the matter. One would think it avoidance, but Jaime has been busy with Fumoffu matters and her family has been dealing with the aftermath of the Resort attack - Cuddles and Adeline studynig the surviving Dark Ones, But now Erevis sits in the conference room in 1A*
<DeathStar> *Erevis eyes footage of the medical exam Cuddles performed on Dias, silent while waiting on Jaime*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sits with all their notes on the situation, looking at her mother across the table** So… we have a lot to cover. But I think it’s time you at least told us what we’re facing. It’s costing us lives… I think. I’m not sure what would happen if we had not let the Dark Ones sort themselves out.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe I have told you - you are facing the true face of the Dark Ones.
* Jackieness has joined #PWSession5
<Seraphna> Jaime> Is that all you know? From what we’ve encountered it’s a sentience, an individual who has been “choosing” to augment them
<Seraphna> Jaime> against their will.
<DeathStar> *Erevis leans back* <Erevis> How much do you know about the origin of the Progenitor and Dark One race. *she tosses the datapad down*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Only the stories you’ve told me. That they were once part of us but broke off over some major disagreement.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ah, no wonder. A child telling stories to other children. *she peers out at the stars* I will keep it plain for you then.
<Seraphna> **Jaime listens, peering at her over that comment**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The first race was one who one of explorers who did incorporate emotions and feelings like any other. It may have been even close to your Earthlings at one point. But as it reached the point of the next step of evolution, there were disagreements. One half wished to seek out less emotion and become a race among the stars, while the other half wished to embrace their emotions and push forward much like they had
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It reached a point that race simply could not agree on which step to take, so there was a split. The Progenitors and Dark Ones were born
<Seraphna> Jaime> So this was over emotions? I’m assuming the Progenitors chose the lack of them, from the ancient ones we met.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Not quite. The Progenitors did move to become part of the stars. Hence the forms. The Dark Ones evolved toward their forms too. And the two races simply went their own ways as they kept becoming who they would be
<Seraphna> Jaime> Seems simple enough but… how did that lead to war? We’ve shown we can get along.
* Dias` has joined #PWSession5
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then the Dark Ones reached the point - they began to reach their hive point and consume the galaxy and so the Progenitors felt they had to do something.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They were all of one mind, heart, resolution
<Seraphna> Jaime> So what did they do?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you have not been paying attention, then I will lay it out for you. They would nest in the world, taking it as their own, and use it, much like a parasite and drain it of it's resources - not like a normal race, but drain every resource for their ships, their power, strength, until the world was a dead husk and still they used it long after.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Because they seemed to not care.
<Seraphna> **Jaime raises a brow at how she’s talking, but lets her go on** Okay, so cousins got very zealous about branching out, we stepped in to put them in line. And from what I can tell this sentience was driving them forward. Then one day it… stopped. The Dark Ones became what we know them as today. And now it woke up?
<DeathStar> *Erevis drums her fingers softly, peering at the stars again* Is your question on why they are moving again?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Why it is moving again, yes.
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Squall
<DeathStar> *Adeline has gathered a team while Jaime has Erevis distracted*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You mind telling me what this is about? Zephyr's messages about the Tsivrixsh has me concerned and we're out here going to the planet Erevis took over Katrina's body why?
<Seraphna> Angela> We’re figuring out who this Erevis is I’m guessing.
<DeathStar> *Taiga and Ren fiddle at their consoles* <Taiga> Not exactly
<Dias`> <Chad> Because we have better technology now than we did when we first visited it.
<Dias`> <Chad> And I'd like to eliminate a possible avenue to worry about.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...is the Progenitor on board the PAX trully Erevis...or something else."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> There's questions to be answered as well. For example
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The people n the planet is who transferred Erevis into Katrina.
<DeathStar> *they hover over the jungle planet*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm? There were people invovled? I had assumed someone just found her in a hole and dug her up."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... *glances at Noire*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well I have bad news. I am not picking up on human life
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...what? I wasn't born yet."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> If I remember the record right, some cult like group put her on an altar and stuff and did a ceremony.
<Dias`> <Chad> Odd. While it's possible they died out...*He eyes the sensors* Let's at least get a better scan of where the temple was.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...I'm now curious to see for myself."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Maybe they were just visiting too.
<DeathStar> *Taiga does a sweep scan and brings up the images of the temple area as well as where the altar was located - everything seems overgrown now as the jungle has begun to encroach*
<DeathStar> <Ren> It looks like this place is almost entirely gone
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...if they were just visiting, it is a rather ellaborate campsite, though claimed by nature as it is."
<DeathStar> *as Taiga does more images, one of the temples seems to not be as overgrown as the rest*
<Dias`> <Chad> That ones odd.
<Dias`> <Chad> Send a probe to scan the rest of the planet, see if there's anymore temples like this on the planet.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Could that be the one they used?
<DeathStar> *Adeline sends the probe out*
<Seraphna> Angela> I think I was distracted at the colony when this all happened, to be honest. I can’t recall the exact events this far out.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> That is odd. *she taps the screen*
<Dias`> *Chad looks over at the screen, studying it*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm? re you sure your memory hasn't been 'tweaked' Angela?"
<DeathStar> *the screen is giving no information at all*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Wonder if something was broken in the probe
<Dias`> <Chad> I only know of one substance that blocks scans. *He taps his finger on his chair*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl leans on the wall beside Ren*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> But we're getting scans from up here
<DeathStar> *Adeline leans forward, eyeing the scans from the ship*
<Seraphna> Libbie> So what’re we looking at? A short range jammer?
<Dias`> <Chad> So how do we want to proceed then?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We came all this way - do you want to turn around?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Perhaps we should go investigate ourselves."
<Dias`> <Chad> Then we should check it up close.
<DeathStar> *Adeline eyes Jaime's meeting progress* Jaime can't hold Erevis for long
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Especially alone
<Seraphna> Libbie> Sephie could add to it. Or hopefully Auntie Jikuu pipes up.
<Dias`> <Chad> Then let's head down there now.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Alright lets get the shuttle ready
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Charlotte Mizukaze is my likely guess.
<Seraphna> Jaime> She has a connection to the being but she certainly doesn’t predate the events we found on the Progenitor records.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mm?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Her power absorption likely led to her gaining something the entity can’t fully just overcome on a whim. Fire fighting fire.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Noire and Kaelan were able to speak to the entity while they were joined with Charlotte. It believes itself the Dark One’s shaper. It took offense at being called a mere virus.
<DeathStar> *Erevis folds her hand* Perhaps if you wish to learn more about it, when the Dark Ones that you managed to rip from the hive collective awaken can tell you mor about the experience. I would suggest mentally, but
<Seraphna> Jaime> We have a few tricks to look into the past that don’t involve psionics. There is something I really want to know about, mother, and I’m hoping you can tell me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Why are we so different from the Ancient ones? Not just my generation, but Drasek, Ao and Wind all have emotions and passion well beyond what you’ve… started to show.
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods, her face actually showing little right now as she glances at the stars, then reaches and takes the datapad and thumbs through something* Going back to the past, the Progenitors decided to step away from emotions as I said, but after the fierce display by our Dark One counter parts, it was decided as ... protection to allow one set to retain them. A family of leaders would retain the ability to have emotions as well as attendants.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It was not high level emotions as most races, but it was enough to allow understanding if and when we encountered them.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Which is why you always treated my passion like a power I needed to temper to be strong. We are royals. **she muses more** This Dark One Hybrid, wouldn’t it probably be highly emotionally volatile?
<DeathStar> *Erevis drums her fingers harder*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Temple World
<DeathStar> *as the shuttle comes in closer, it appears to be less overgrown than the scans indicated*
<DeathStar> *at least in the main area*
<Dias`> <Chad> Hmmm.
<Seraphna> Angela> This doesn’t match the orbital scans. I think it’s a cloaking field we were encountering.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "If there is an attempt at subterfuge here, then we should be wary for attack."
<Dias`> <Chad> Indeed.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Something is definitely here
<DeathStar> *Adeline lands them near the altar, which looks prestine*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Why do I feel like I'm going to be tied up and stabbed
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *moves out the back and looks around*
<Dias`> *Chad stands up, unholstering his gun while an Id that was floating by him disappears*
<Seraphna> Libbie> I kind of found it odd that Grandma didn’t claim this space. She was always very nostalgic.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm? Why would you be, Ren?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Because cultist always want to sacrifice the cutest girl
<Seraphna> Libbie> Oh I’ll be careful then.
<Dias`> *Chad moves down next to Taiga, glancing around* Id's looking around right now. He'll let us know if something shows up
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...I thought it was virgins." *glances at Ren*
<DeathStar> *nothing seems to move or come out to greet them*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well, there is that saying too
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And its more coincidence that the cutest is usually the virgin... though not in this case."
<DeathStar> *Taiga runs her hand along the altar* You should becareful with what you say, Noire. These people put Erevis in a body once.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Who's to say they can't do it again
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That might be why Erevis never came back to this world.
<Dias`> <Chad> That's why I wanted to check this place out again. If there's a hidden chamber we couldn't sense, then it's possible there's more of them here.
<Seraphna> Libbie> Well… Grandma is either at the PAX or in the past now so how could it happen again?
<Dias`> <Chad> Cheryl...
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmm...perhaps what brought Erevis back can also kill her."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm?
<Dias`> <Chad> You hear that?
<DeathStar> *Cheryl listens* Hm. A little odd for a jungle
<Seraphna> **Angela perks bunny ears**
<DeathStar> *there's no sounds*
<Seraphna> Angela> Dead quiet… did we get any life scans at all?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> None.
<Seraphna> Angela> That makes no sense with this ecology…
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises a hand, several dark matter sphere forming. She then sends them out to extend her senses into the surrounding jungle*
<Dias`> <Chad> Something's causing this. *He glances around, his finger sliding towards the trigger*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Are you trying to blow up the jungle?
<Dias`> <Chad> Id'
<Dias`> <Chad> Id's not picking up anything either.
<DeathStar> *Noire is not picking up anything in the jungle*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...its lifeless save for flora. Devoid of any fauna."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm looking at the jungle
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It looks pretty lifeful to me
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But scans say otherwise
<Dias`> <Chad> Did our original scans show any signs of an entrance?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then something strange is clearly afoot."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Into the temples? Yeah, we can just walk in right there. *She points at all the temple entranceS*
<DeathStar> <Ren> But do we WANT to
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Do we ever really want to do anything, Ren?"
<Dias`> <Chad> We came to find answers, right?
<Seraphna> Angela> We don’t have much time to debate.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl steps int othe closest one*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *follows after Cheryl*
<Dias`> *Chad moves after Cherl*
<Seraphna> **Angela sets up scanners and probe betas to scout around**
<DeathStar> *the inside looks almost exactly like it was years ago, with little to no dust. Infact, there's signs that someone might have been in here recently. The inside looks like it has been set up to receive guests with tables and chairs and on the walls are faded paintings. It almost looks like something you'd find on a world with such structures*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl studies the inside* ........
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Okay this is a bit creepy now.
<Dias`> *Chad glances around, pulling out his datapad to scan the walls*
<DeathStar> *his datapad scan gives him a blank screen*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What’s a null result mean?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Jammer..."
<Dias`> <Chad> That you're looking over my shoulder and too close. *He moves to the wall, eyeing it's color*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Poor old men with fading eyes. I’m nowhere near close.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> All this feels so fake
<DeathStar> *Cheryl touches the wall, her eyes doing the Mem thing*
<Seraphna> Angela> What like a dummy site to keep us busy?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, I am sure this is the real site.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm just saying this feels too fake
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Staged then."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> My eyes keep refusing to accept what I'm seeing
<Dias`> <Chad> Or more that there's a veil around everything?
<Seraphna> Angela> An illusion. Erevis was great at those.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm..." *looks around and then tries to manipulate Dark Energy to remove any illusions*
<Dias`> <Chad> Regardless, this looks like it's been used recently.
<DeathStar> *the briefest of moments the area looks like a bare room*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Pardon me?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...there...I just need to pluck the strings." *tries to undo the illusion again, this time more permanantly*
<Seraphna> Angela> It’d take an incredible psion to leave an illusion far away from where they are though.
<DeathStar> *this time nothing happens*
<Dias`> <Chad> You assume this is based on psionics.
<Seraphna> Angela> There must be something mechanical to it, like a holo room.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...its been reinforced against my spell."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well I definitely saw something.
<Dias`> <Chad> Same here.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If it is mechanical it might can be overloaded. If it's psionics, I'm not sure how to deal with it
<Seraphna> Angela> Try looking at it through an alternate source of light retracting. Like a camera on another spectrum.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And if its soem sort of Progenitor sorcery, then its..admittedly...of a higher grad e than I am prepared for."
<Seraphna> *refracting
<Dias`> <Chad> The Progenitors were more tech advanced then sorcery, right? *He places his hand against the wall, feeling it.
<DeathStar> *After examining the room, it does not seem to be have anything of the sort in it*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan tries looking through her datapad camera on different filters**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Normally, yes... however, in a parallel reality that the Striekrs visited, we did stumble on a version of Progenitor society where they also practiced a form of sorcery."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm trying to figure out what could make something so large scale.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If it is mechanical it would need to be in a central location
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Probably not in a room
<Dias`> <Chad> This almost reminds me of the PAX and how we built our own rooms.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... Chad's right. This is like the PAX tech
<Seraphna> **Libbie tries feeling out hyperspace**
<Dias`> <Chad> If that's the case, there's a generator somewhere.
<DeathStar> *indeed, near the altar*
<Seraphna> Libbie> Sonething here. **she motions to the altar** I feel hyperspace.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl returns back outside to the altar*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I knew it would come back to it
<Dias`> *Chad follows after Cheryl*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Just know you have to be put into a skimpy outfit before being tied up
<Jackieness> <Noire> *eyes taiga and Ren*
<Dias`> *Chad kneels by the altar, running his right hand along the edges, feeling for any panel*
<DeathStar> *They both eye Noire*
<DeathStar> *it looks like a normal altar*
<DeathStar> *complete with blood sacrifices
<Seraphna> Libbie> **focuses and tries to feel out a battery or something**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *pushes ehr glasses up, the lenses flashing* "...yes, I'm still a virgin."
<DeathStar> *The hyperspace energy feels like it's underneath it*
<DeathStar> <Both> We know, Noire
<Dias`> <Chad> I'm not feeling anything on this altar. *He stands up, backing up*
<Seraphna> **Libbie leans down and looks for an access panel** Here it’s under the altar.
<DeathStar> *nothing appears to be under it either.*
<Seraphna> **Libbie feels out more** How under it exactly…
<Dias`> <Chad> Our only option maybe to knock the altar off. *He backs up a bit more*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Becareful
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I can try to give you a hand there." *summons multiple dark arms around the altar*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Libbie, kick it over
<DeathStar> *The altar looks to be a giant stone one so kicking it over looks hard*
<Seraphna> **Libbie gives it a good kick**
<Dias`> <Chad> Odd's are whoever did this, knows we're here anyways.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *has the arms try to lift the altar from its position*
<DeathStar> *dark storm clouds suddenly appear and where the altar was at is a giant hole about six feet deep*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It looks empty but I'm guessing the controls are down there somewhere
<Dias`> *Chad glances up.* Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I don't like this.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think they're warning us
<Dias`> <Chad> Neither do I.
<Seraphna> Libbie> Hmm… **hops down**
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And in she goes
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm..." *flxes her arm and her dark arms do the same*
<Dias`> <Chad> I mean, Libbie was the one who defiled it.
<DeathStar> *Libbie lands in what feels like mud*
<DeathStar> *there indeed looks like PAX hologram controls*
<Seraphna> Libbie> Oh good, these were new boots. **she starts working them over since she has the power needed to operate pax tech**
<DeathStar> *the world goes dark*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Since that is speculation, I cannot answer it
<DeathStar> *she keeps scolling through data from the PAX, as if looking for something*
<Seraphna> Jaime> So, what are my aunt and uncles out there doing that we can’t know about?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Something you do not need to know yet. But Drasek and Ao are quite capable
<Seraphna> Jaime> When you were Empress, did you not believe you needed to know everything you could to lead with wisdom?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is usually handy. But this is an unusual time, is it not? *she looks up* You are facing an enemy that can be anyone and jump to anything.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your victory at the resort was impressive and I have been studying your doctors reports on those freed, but I am not entirely convinced it is all over. This entire ship might be in the most danger it has been.
<Seraphna> Jaime> So you can understand why I would be wary when a woman baring my mother’s face arrives but keeps secrets from me. **she looks at her pointedly** We aren’t even told what to look for.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then why was that not one of your first questions?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I needed to get to know the person talking to me. I’m not psionic as I once was, and there have been others to impersonate you before.
<DeathStar> *Erevis studies her face without letting anything go, then begins to speak as if nothing was said* It is nearly impossible to identify them but there has been differences that I have noted compared to last time
<Seraphna> Jaime> Key identifiers we can use?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Last time they all acted as one and never had the need to pretend. Now they are hiding among those not yet part of the hivemind. Maybe they are not even aware they are part of it, being sleeper agents, and spread it to others drawing them into the hive without knowing it as well. *She taps the datapad showing someone to Jaime* This one for example has likely infected many on your ship for the past few days and those near them. And they are likely now spreading it to others. Your sister has been near both themselves I think. And so on and so on.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There are some that are part of the hive but will hide it and play the part of who they were to draw in more to the collective.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yes… we’re giving that one focus. We believe however if this is a true hive mind there is a ruler. A king or queen of you would.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We never found them if there is.
<Seraphna> Jaime> In taking out the infection at the resort planet it was noted it needed to use one person as a focal point of control. Suggesting that the entity has a singular central ego.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Kill the head of the snake to kill the whole beast, as you once told me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am dubious of it being the case, but you have your tactics
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think someone got close to that in the past so it hid to outlast the knowledge. Something frightened it away. Which comes to another matter. The Dark One Killer.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The Dark One Killer. *she repeats*
<Seraphna> **Jaime brings up the data on the ship** This entered our side of the universe around the same time you came back.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You want to know more about this ship you lost track of?
<Seraphna> Jaime> All outposts are keeping an eye out. How does it work? Can we retool it to attack the mist entity?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Divine Intervention?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yes, I suppose.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> All I can tell you is the ship is designed to completely stop the Dark One threat. I believe I read a report on it being used in the --- Unknown Region?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yes. And I fear this is a horrible mistarget. As you yourself say, it can take on anyone, not just Dark Ones. We could wipe them all out and it would still keep coming.
<DeathStar> *There's a slight knock on the door to the meeting room*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Come in.
<DeathStar> *Ako pokes her head in* <Ako> Jaime. Can I see you outside?
<DeathStar> *she mouths emergency*
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and moves to step out, Sephie bringing in snacks for Erevis**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I take it one does not wish for me to leave
<DeathStar> *she eyes Sephie*
<Seraphna> Sephie> Momma wants to clear up everything she can before you go running off to save us again I think.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do not worry; I am not planning on going anywhere.
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Temple World
<DeathStar> *the entire landscape has shifted to a more dead world now, with the temples being shifted over to what looks like husks of crashed objects. The jungle is a dead wasteland. And the altar is still there, but looks more tech based*
<DeathStar> *with stuff coming out of it to stab into a person, almost creepy looking*
<DeathStar> *the altar having all sorts of buttons and controls*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I liked the old one better
<Seraphna> Libbie> Anything new up there?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Just hell on Earth
<Seraphna> Libbie> Bad news this doesn’t get the holovision.
<Dias`> *Chad quickly looks around* Tisk. No wonder why we didn't notice this before. Taiga, have the Squall scan the planet to confirm.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...so it was all just an elaborate ruse."
<DeathStar> *Adeline comms them* <Adeline> I am on it
<Seraphna> Libbie> **muses and tries to get data on the systems**
<DeathStar> *she can be heard scanning* <Adeline> The husks look to be the remains of ancient Progenitor ships, probably when they were seeing the Erusians.
<DeathStar> <Adeline comm> Why they grounded them here I have no idea
<Dias`> <Chad> The entire planet dead?
<Seraphna> Libbie> Well something happened to them.
<Seraphna> Libbie> Trying to get log files here.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "When did this happen? Was the illusion up the last time you visited this world?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline comm> Wait, I am picking up a signature in one of the husks.
<DeathStar> *she sends the coodinats to everyone*
<Dias`> <Chad> It most likely was Noire.
<Seraphna> Angela> Yeah, it looked like a jungle back then too.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Last time everyone was here this was a jungle world
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So someone was running the illusion
<DeathStar> *Libbie would mostly get damaged information*
<DeathStar> *completely scrambled*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...I am trying to establish a timeline... so clearly this destruction must have happened long before then."
<Dias`> <Chad> Whenever these ships landed or cfrashed here. They set up the holo-llusion at the time I assume.
<DeathStar> *it seems it had valuable cargo though*
<Dias`> <Chad> Let's head to these coordinates.
<Seraphna> Libbie> For centuries, maybe even more. Logs have been scrambled though. Something about cargo though.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If this was from the time of the Erusians
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I have to imagine it's even older
<Seraphna> Libbie> The priority looks like a high one the PAX might use? Super valuable.
<Seraphna> Libbie> Maybe the cargo was grandma?
<Dias`> <Chad> We can figure that out. With the world broke, they know someones here for sure now.
<DeathStar> *as they walk along, the team would feel they're being watched*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "....mmmm..or the hybrid entity."
<Seraphna> Libbie> Someone’s monitoring us.
<Dias`> <Chad> Well, we know royalty was on this planet.
<DeathStar> *a figure clad in shadow watches them*
<Seraphna> Libbie> Yeah it’s why Momma wanted me to come along.
<Dias`> <Chad> You forget, back then Royalty wasn't a hybrid.
<Seraphna> Libbie> She figured if there was a royal among the group it might help deal with Progenitors.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *a tranq dart flies and aims right for Noire's neck*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?!"
<DeathStar> *more shadowy figures try to grab Noire and drag her off*
<DeathStar> <Ren> H-Hey!
<Seraphna> Libbie> I mean, I’m a bit more “pure” than the rest of my siblings. **eyes Noire** You have a dart in your neck.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Uggghhhh..."
<Dias`> *Chad glances over at Noire, his hand quickly unholstering his gun as he looks around*
<Seraphna> Libbie> Eh? **she fires a warning blast at the figures**
<DeathStar> *The figures freak out and drop Noire, except a brave one; they all seem to be the natives of this world*
<DeathStar> *he keeps dragging Noire along toward by the foot*
<Seraphna> Libbie> Hey! That meant stop!
<Dias`> *Chad flicks the stun on and shoots the figures hand*
<DeathStar> *they shake their hand and run ofF*
<Seraphna> **Libbie blasts the ground by it**
<DeathStar> <Ren> They totally went for the virgin
<DeathStar> *Taiga kneels and uses smelling salts on Noire*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Urrrgh..." *cough*
<Dias`> <Chad> The natives are alive at least.
<Seraphna> Libbie> **in Progenitor** What are you doing?
<DeathStar> *one peers at Libbie, then they bow before her, mumbling about the gods being back*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh look, you got a little fan club
<Dias`> <Chad> How cultish *He lowers his pistol*
<Seraphna> Libbie> *P* Yes, we are. Bring me your leaders.
<Seraphna> Libbie> They did worship Grandma I think. This way we can avoid violence.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to stand, feeling wobbly* "...what did they want with me?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Your overly sized knockers I think
<DeathStar> *She huffs*
<Seraphna> Libbie> Maybe they have more survivors. Or the boobs.
<Dias`> <Chad> Perhaps a suitable host body.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *just gives Taiga a look*
<DeathStar> *the person thinks, then runs off in the direction of the building that Adeline pinged for them*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> What - it's what people would use for a host boy
<DeathStar> *body
<Seraphna> Libbie> To the building it seems. Come my minions.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmm...jealous much?"
<Dias`> *Chad glances at Cheryl* I'll shoot her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Go ahead
<Seraphna> Libbie> Wait, shoot who?
<DeathStar> <Ren> I like to ride on them so I don't mind
<Jackieness> <Noire> "You are annoying them Libbie."
<Dias`> *Chad seems to be weighing things* Let's get going.
<Seraphna> Libbie> He’s an old grump who gets grumpy at things. I forgive him.
<DeathStar> *they soon arrive outside a piece of a command ship; the hull having a massive hole on the side as the native goes inside*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> He sure goes in fast
<Seraphna> Libbie> Well it must have been a nice ship once. **she follows**
<Dias`> *Chad eyes the off the hole, studying it for outside damage or inside damage*
<DeathStar> *it looks like something stabbed the side of the hull,somethng spidery*
<DeathStar> *as they go inside, surprisingly power is still running*
<Dias`> <Chad> ...Hmmm. *He looks over at Cheryl* Pierced.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Interestin
<Seraphna> Libbie> Yes this damage appears to be from a Dark One vessel.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...by a tendril from a Dakr One ship. This space around this world was the site of a battle."
<Dias`> <Chad> That or they forced landed here after a battle.
<DeathStar> *the man opens a door and steps inside*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "A battle would explain the desolation on this world. I am surprised that the natives survived with the ecosphere so ravaged."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I guess the leaders are inside
<Seraphna> **Libbie follows, nodding**
<DeathStar> <Ren> Here goes nothing
<Seraphna> Angela> Let’s hope this works..
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> <Ako> The Senate is holding an emergency meeting at Xevil's request.
<DeathStar> <Ako> He apparently is planning to take back the Tsivrixsh Homeworld
<Seraphna> Jaime> Predictable.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Start the plans we have in place to ready the fleet. We may have to force hands, but this had to happen regardless of who spearheaded it.
<DeathStar> <Ako> But that's not all; Zephyr has informed us the Dark Infused Tsvrixsh are up to something. You might want to come with me to the meeting real quick - if you think you can spare a bit of time away from Erevis
<Seraphna> **Jaime taps her wrist three times** Okay. Let’s go.
<DeathStar> *Ako takes a deep breath and activates the teleporter real quick* This should be clean. Lets go
<DeathStar> *She warps them to the Senate Building*
<DeathStar> *Xevil is on screen with the Senate; William is looking a bit annoying in his seat facing the screen*
<Seraphna> **Sephie meanwhile starts to go over the readings on Dias and some of the survivors with Erevis for input**
<DeathStar> <Xevil> My fleet will be at the homeworld in a matter of moments
<DeathStar> *he states to the council*
<DeathStar> <Aya> You realize that Ka'pla, even in her current situation, is a member of this council
<Seraphna> Jaime> Xevil, I am sad we are not honored with your presence. But I understand your readiness. The Suisen Empire will lend aid.
<DeathStar> *Aya looks at Jaime in surprise*
<Jackieness> <Arhn> *watches the proceedings in ilence, her face stoic and unreadable*
<Seraphna> Jaime> We are obliged to protect Ka’pla and see her people safe if possible.
<Seraphna> Jaime> You perform great honor seeking to free the Tsivrixsh Empire from the Hive Mind attacking them.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> If you can manage that, I will not stop you
<Seraphna> Jaime> We ask you attempt to minimize damage and casualties, and keep your distance from your opponents.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We would not want you to suffer the same fate.
<DeathStar> *William sits forward, peering at the images sent to him and brings it up on the screen beside Xevil - the Tsivrixsh Homeworld seems to be being hallowed out and something is emerging*
<DeathStar> <William> And what do you plan to do about this? <Xevil> What must be done
<Seraphna> **Jaime sends data** Be on the lookout for there’s towers. They use it to spread the infection.
<Seraphna> Jaime> They seem to be trying to awaken the deep entity.
<Jackieness> <Arhn> *finally speaks up* "...it is a Dark One Queen. An ancient one."
<Seraphna> Jaime> You must remember it well, Xevil.
<DeathStar> <Aya> A Queen? Pardon me?
<Seraphna> Jaime> The Tsivrixsh have long sealed a powerful dark one in their core. In multiple occasions enemies of the galaxy have tried to revive it.
<Seraphna> Jaime> This may be the source of the infection, in fact.
<DeathStar> <Xevil> I have no comment
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "If it wakes up fully, it could turn the Tsivirxsh hoeworld into a nest. A breeding ground. Kill one ship. Five more replace it."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Hold on. This may be pointless after our victory at the Resort, but could one of these queens have been put into the Dark One Resort homeworld? They were sinking quite deep into the ocean before many took off.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Indeed. Attempt to extract and quarantine any survivors. But that creature must not live.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Perhaps, but it would need a long time to grow. We will hunt it out there too.
<DeathStar> *Aya listens to Id* As was pointed out to me, any world during the Dark War could have a queen in it
<DeathStar> <Aya> We need to go back and check each of them
<Seraphna> Jaime> Indeed. Though the one waking right now is priority.
<DeathStar> <William> The Suisen is correct
<Seraphna> Jaime> Baby queens might be containable.
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "Xevil. I believe you accept this reality already, but you may need to burn away your homeworld to save your people."
<DeathStar> <Xevil> ... It will be done. *he vanishes*
<DeathStar> <William> The Cartel will send what aid it can
<DeathStar> <Aya> So will Earth
<DeathStar> *the Ridiariums promises rocks*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I am going to try and get us further aid. I thank all who ride to combat this.
<DeathStar> **Erevis meanwhile turns toward Sephie* I would be sure to keep an eye on him; if he is faking being this 'Dias', he has spread the infection everywhere. The same with not even knowing he is part of the hive. And he has been in contact with countless people since then who now are likely have the same foot in the hive
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The ship probably has the hive infection all over where-ever he has been
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would trace his steps and shut the areas off
<Seraphna> Sephie> We’re scanning, grandmother.
<DeathStar> *the scanning doesn't pick up anything really. Could just be a paranoid woman*
<Seraphna> **Sephie muses, but orders location quarantines**
<Seraphna> Sephie> Momma Jaime is returning.
<DeathStar> *Ako and Jaime return*
<Seraphna> **Jaime warps herself back into the room with Ako**
<DeathStar> <Ako> Are we sending the fleet into combat or ourselves?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mother, I want to know… can you call on the other progenitors? Now would be the time.
<Seraphna> **Jaime displays the data on the Queen**
<DeathStar> *Erevis folds her hands together* You want the Progenitors? I thought they were killing on sight
<DeathStar> *she studies the queen emotionlessly*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think we all want this dead.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *nods to Jaime, almost approvingly, then stands up and heads to the bridge area*
<DeathStar> <Ako> Meraowl?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I take it you plan to go fight this as well?
<Seraphna> Jaime> This might be the core of the hive mind. It also explains why the Tsiv fell to it so quickly and quietly.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think we don’t have a choice.
<DeathStar> <Erevi> It will be a good lesson. It will show you what they do. How they gut worlds to create things
<Seraphna> Jaime> Jikuu will remain here and maintain the defenses.
<DeathStar> *Erevis touches the bridge controls and the ship flickers a moment, and then the PAX jumps*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Ship Remains
<DeathStar> *The group walks into what looks to be containment tubes, full of hyperspace energy; a few of them are open now, indicating whoever was inside has left*
<DeathStar> *the energy looks to be trying to restore the Progenitor inside, like a bacta tank*
<Dias`> *Chad eyes them, his hand resting on his hilt*
<DeathStar> *Ao's capsule is open*
<DeathStar> *Drasek's capsule is open*
<Seraphna> Libbie> Well… we know how progenitors suddenly appeared out of nowhere. And where my Uncle and Aunt came from.
<DeathStar> *Erevis' capsule is not open, but there doesn't appear to be anything inside despite the hyperspace energy running*
<Seraphna> Libbie> There are more here… **she looks them over**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So there were hiding here...in the detrius of their war effort."
<Seraphna> Libbie> How is grandmother’s closed while nothing is there… and why charge it?
<DeathStar> *And there appears to be a final one with no name - it looks to be an experiment*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "MMmmm...perhaps it is inhabited, but its current occupant is very, very weak."
<Dias`> <Chad> All valid questions.
<DeathStar> *The native bows at Erevis*
<Seraphna> Libbie> Is this the hybrid? Noire sense it out**
<DeathStar> *mumbling native talk to it - calling it a god*
<Seraphna> **Libbie motions**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...completely empty."
<Dias`> <Chad> Well, perhaps this is Erevis's real body then. *He crosses his arms* There's no way a human body could handle it. So, the mental part is what was transfered.
<Dias`> <Chad> Or a copy of it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Can the native tell us?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It seems too busy humping it
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Now then..." *turns to look at the natives* "Why exactly were they trying to kidnap me?"
<Seraphna> Libbie> **she asks in Progenitor**
<Seraphna> **for each of them**
<Dias`> <Chad> It could explain why there's another "erevis" running around.
<DeathStar> <Native> Heard God was dead, tried to bring back and redo the ritual.
<Seraphna> Libbie> Grandmother lives. I am her heir.
<DeathStar> *he bows at Libbie again*
<DeathStar> <Ren> So did we really learn anything?
<Seraphna> Libbie> Ritual put god in a pure body?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If I had to guess
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The altar was used to transfer Erevis from here into Katrina's body
<DeathStar> <Taiga> She must have been really damaged.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And why was I darted again?"
<Seraphna> Libbie> She must have been channeling her hyperspace from the containment. But how did that work when Empress took her power? Or Mom for that matter.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Something about you drew them in
<Seraphna> Libbie> They wanted to put Erevis in you Noire. Cuz you’re so pretty:
<Dias`> <Chad> But how'd they get Katrina's body.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...that would have been interesting."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If I had to guess, there's nothing left in this chamber.
<Seraphna> Libbie> We learned it was retrieved from Katrina’s space burial.
<Dias`> <Chad> I highly doubt these natives did that. Which means another Progentior was working behind the scenes.
<Seraphna> Libbie> If I had to guess? Aunt Ao.
<DeathStar> <Adeline on comm> Do we even know if they did it here?
<Seraphna> Libbie> Sge vanished for a while when grandma died.
<DeathStar> <Adeline on comm> Because that would lend credence that Erevis is the real deal
<Seraphna> Libbie> *P* Did you bring god back here?
<DeathStar> *the native just looks confused*
<Seraphna> Libbie> *P* Did you return her to the old pure body, here on this world?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Show them a picture of Katrina."
<Dias`> <Chad> ...So was it a new Progenitor, or was it someone trying to bring back the dead and paying for their hubris.
<Seraphna> **Libbie’s hand opens a lease and projects Katrina**
<Seraphna> *lens
<DeathStar> <Native> Have not seen God or god's body since death. *he slumps against the healing tank*
<Seraphna> **Libbie translates**
<Seraphna> Libbie> **muses and checks the hybrid tank again**
<Seraphna> Libbie> Which held God?
<DeathStar> *it seems to be more of a containment tank than a healing tank*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl taps her ear and steps away*
<Dias`> <Chad> Ask if there are another other progenitors here. *He side glances at Cheryl*
<Seraphna> Libbie> Are any other Gods here?
<DeathStar> <Native> No gods.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We have a situation. The Tsivrixsh Homeworld is trying to eat the universe
<Seraphna> Libbie> And which did you take from the first time. **she motions to the tanks**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> And the PAX has taken off
<Jackieness> <Noire> "The Dark Queen that they had down there finally woke up, mmmmm?"
<Seraphna> Angela> Again!?
<Dias`> <Chad> A few shoudl stay here and keep learning. Libbie seems to be on good terms with them.
<Seraphna> Libbie> I will raise up my devoted.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll make sure a shuttle is left behind then
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Don't get too carried away, Libbie."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright lets head out.
<Seraphna> Libbie> Inform my husband to prepare a temple.
<DeathStar> *the native bow bows*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Tsivrixsh Space
<DeathStar> *the PAX arrives, along with Xevil's Fleet. Earth's Fleet still haven't quite arrived yet*
<DeathStar> <Ako> ... *eyes Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Adeline on comm> The Squall is headed back to join the PAX. We should be there soon
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The other Progenitors are in the area
<Seraphna> Jaime> Come in careful dear.
<DeathStar> *the Tsivrixsh Homeworld has begin to grow a massive Dark creature as it seems to becoming the planet itself*
<DeathStar> *the planet crumbling as it expands*
<Seraphna> **Sephie is meanwhile isolating Dias quarantine zones and having them cleansed**
<DeathStar> *tiny little creatures are emerging from it as well*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well, that’s no Andrea.
<DeathStar> <Ako> Speaking of unless we let the teleporters be used we won't be able to gte everyone here fasr enough
<DeathStar> <Ako> Should I allow full access again?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Funnel them through quarantine.
<DeathStar> *Ako tries to do so. Then begins to try to bring Andrea, but the teleporters refuse to engage*
<DeathStar> <Ako> Well it worked for us earlier
<Seraphna> Jaime> That’s interesting.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *scurries out to check the teleporter system*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Try only cleared teleported first.
<Seraphna> *teleporters
<DeathStar> *The teleporters, as Myria checks, seems clean. It always seems clean*
<DeathStar> *but what flicked it that time was the ones Dias used to go home*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huuuuh?!" *comms* "Dias triggered an infection warning."
<Seraphna> Jaime> You should warn Aya.
<Seraphna> **Jaime does it herself after a thought** Isolate what he used and try again.
<DeathStar> *Andrea rises behind Jaime*
<DeathStar> *the Squall appears and slides into the PAX*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Looks like we made it
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yes Andrea? Your looming is getting quite good.
<DeathStar> *Erevis begins to work on commanding the PAX when 10 Progenitors appear on the bridge, Gordon among them*
<DeathStar> *she seems to be unlocking some stuff*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Welcome, I think.
<DeathStar> *Myria would see the teleporter works now*
<DeathStar> <Gordon> Empress.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *comms bridge* "Teleporters back online."
<DeathStar> *outside, the Tsivrixsh Homeworld has begin to move, with Xevil's fleet working to contain it*
<Seraphna> Jaime> We need that creature down. There is a possibility the Entity is inside the Queen itself.
<DeathStar> *Adeline heads to the PAX's bridge with Taiga and Ren*
<DeathStar> *the Progenitors peer at each other* <Gordon> Then we will do so. If you have no objections this time
<DeathStar> *he seems to be partially glancing at Erevis and Jaime*
<DeathStar> <Ren> We could fly the Squall and detonate it right in it's mouth
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps on to the bridge* "Mmmmmmm?"
<Dias`> <Chad> You'd sacrifice the Squall? *He studies Ren*
<Seraphna> Jaime> No objects to this one. Gordon is it?
<DeathStar> *several hands lift up and aim at Noire*
<DeathStar> <Gordon> It's what I am going by
<Seraphna> Jaime> That one you leave be.
<Seraphna> Jaime> She eats the feral entity.
<DeathStar> *The Progenitors look at each other, then at Noire, then vanish*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmm....that was amusing."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Noire, Andrea, I hope there are no objections?
<DeathStar> *at that moment a massive dark beam comes from the planet and sweeps across space; a good portion of Xevil's fleet vanish as the beam hits the Suisen fleet and vaporizes it as it keeps heading for the PAX. By now Erevis hits a button and a shield rises*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "To which insane plan, do you refer, empress?"
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Frankly, I am not sure if we're equipped to beat this thing easily
<DeathStar> *the PAX rocks as the shields drop drop drop*
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods, projecting extra protections as she grips a console**
<Dias`> *Chad eyes the sensor read outs* ...That thing just wiped out a lot of the fleat.
<Dias`> *Fleet*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *works to divert power to the shields, even shutting down underused sections of the ship*
<DeathStar> *As Chad eyes the sensors, he'd pick up something going on with the star*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Indeed. It’ll take rhetorical entire sector if we waited too long.
<Seraphna> **rhetorical = the
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We should prepare to back off slowly while keeping it's attention so it does not retreat
<Seraphna> Jaime> **nods, starting to do so**
<DeathStar> *tiny little spider like creatures keep attacking the PAX and their fleet, attaching to the shields and draining it*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *comms Myria* You think you can handle it?
<Seraphna> **Thena starts forming nodes outside the ship to blast them off**
<Dias`> <Chad> ...This looks familiar..
<DeathStar> *Xevil's fleet seems intent on just blowing everything up, sending their best to fire at the head emerging*
<Dias`> <Chad> This sectors star is changing.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wait, how so?
<DeathStar> *she leans in*
<Dias`> *Chad points and leans in to Cheryl*
<Seraphna> Angela> Are they doing what they did at the Progenitor Home World?
<DeathStar> *The star seems to be going through the stages of growing larger*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huuuuh...shields are stable 40%...unless it beams us again. The leeches are keeping us from recovering unless I get more power."
<Seraphna> Angela> Looks like it.
<Seraphna> **Sammael pops into engineering to add more power**
<Dias`> <Chad> We've seen the end game of it.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...it may be Xevil's doing. A scorched Earth tactic."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh I don't think it's him
<DeathStar> <Ren> But he'll be caught up in it
<Seraphna> Jaime> I believe it is our progenitor friends.
<DeathStar> *the process begins to speed up*
<Dias`> <Chad> This is definetly a Progenitor. *He looks at Erevis*
<Seraphna> Jaime> We should warn the others to withdraw.
<DeathStar> *the star in the system now growing larger way too fast*
<DeathStar> *Taiga grabs comm and sends a warning to Xevil's fleet*
<Seraphna> Jaime> All ships, clear away from the star, leave the system if possible.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl points* There. Near the star
<Seraphna> **Sephie lets Aya’s fleet know to wait**
<Dias`> *Chad taps his comm, whispering to Aya and someone else to drop all ships outside a certain range*
<DeathStar> *Taiga begins to turn the PAX around as their fleet begins to jump away; by now their shields are straining from the heat*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Can the ship take this mother?
<Dias`> *Chad glances at Cheryl and adjusts a PAX sensor towards where Cheryl points*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *is working to keep the shields going*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The PAX has not tapped into it's full potential. One moment. *She keys into something and outside the ship seems to sink into the hyperspace river, leaving what happens to the Xevil fleet a mystery*
<DeathStar> *Chad's sensors pick up what looks to be the Doomsday ship - a tiny little ship firing into the star and suffering no ill effect*
<DeathStar> *before they sink*
<Seraphna> Jaime> So that’s how it works. It doesn’t target dark ones. It can eradicate the system they are in.
<DeathStar> <Ren> So does this mean it's over? We got the last of them?
<Dias`> *Chad eyes it then looks at Cheryl*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl looks grim*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Were it do easy…
<Seraphna> *so
<Dias`> *Chad looks at her, as if talking for a second then drops the sensor view*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...Xevil might not be so happy that they detroyed the whole system."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Unfortunately, the infection is likely still on Earth.
<DeathStar> *the PAX surfaces some ways away*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If he survived
<Seraphna> Angela> Isn’t he like a God now? He probably survived regardless.
<Dias`> <Chad> He's some sort of God now, so I doubt he died. *He looks at Erevis, studying her as Jaime says the Earth thing*
<DeathStar> *Erevis turns to face the others, hands clasped together*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ,,,, *she peers at Chad a moment, then at Jaime* I would seek out possible other Queens before they hatch, or you will need more fire power like that
<Seraphna> Angela> One thing is certain. We likely don’t have a Dark Queen on Earth. We know what’s in our core.
<Seraphna> Angel> Lizard people.
<DeathStar> *Ren looks frustrated a bit* So we lost all of them... Ka'pla, everyone
<Dias`> <Chad> Cheryl, we should head back to the mansion.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmmm...while I am a Dark One, I have no desire to be enslaved by this entity."
<Seraphna> Jaime> **eyes the spacescape quietly**
<Seraphna> Jaime> We need to start the hunt. This can’t happen again.
<Dias`> *Chad glances at Jaime* Hopefully it doesn't happen to a Suisen world. *He moves to leave*
<DeathStar> *Erevis keeps a safe distance from Noire*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Or any world.
<Seraphna> **Jaime wipes her eyes** We took too long to respond to the Tsivrixsh.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *glances at Erevis* "...afraid?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would be afraid if I were you as well
<Seraphna> Jaime> **starts to get reports from the other parties that helped**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you hear any voices that are not your own, I would seek aid
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...fear is a primal instinct. If you have not noticed yet, I am atypical. My emotions do not rule me."
<DeathStar> *Aya seems to be trying to help survivors*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That will not stop you from being taken
<Seraphna> Jaime> Noire, Andrea. Find a way to cleanse this with those that remain.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Please.
<Dias`> *Chad walks off the bridge, heading towards the nearest teleporter*
<DeathStar> *Taiga leans back; she seems to be unsure what she wants to do.*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'm tkaing the Squall back out
<DeathStar> <Ren> See if I can find any of Xevil's people
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods to Ren** Take whoever you can to help. Other ships to help search.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl walks with Chad to take the teleporters*
<Seraphna> **Angela follows them**
<Dias`> *Chad seems to remain quiet, clearly not trusting who's listening*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...well, mother...let's get to it then."
<DeathStar> *Taiga jerks and glances at it*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Right
<DeathStar> *Taiga stands up* I'll be back. Doing some work only I can
<Seraphna> Jaime> Taiga, can you assist Myria? We need those teleporters clear.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh. Whatever you think is best.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Myria can handle it
<Dias`> *Chad stops infront of the teleporter then looks at the two* ...We should take a shuttle.
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Even if it means ripping everything out
<Seraphna> Angela> Agreed.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *goes back to check the teleporter grid*
<Dias`> <Chad> How far was is your beta ship?
<Dias`> *away*
<DeathStar> *the grid continues to claim it's clean*
<DeathStar> *it probably is*
<DeathStar> *do you trust it?*
<Seraphna> Angela> If we can take a shuttle we can meet it shortly.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huuuuuuh..." *comm* "...diagnostics claim the telporter grid is clean."
<Dias`> <Chad> Then prepare it to rendevous. *He turns, moving to head to the hanger bay*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *Grabs comm as she joins Chad*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It might be clean - for most people
<Seraphna> **Angela nods and follows**
<Dias`> *Chad hands his datapad to Taiga*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Possibily it only flares up when certain parameters are met. Dark hearted, Dark One, dark spirited
<DeathStar> *Taiga glances at it*
<Dias`> <Chad> I'd rather not risk it.
<Seraphna> Jaime> **frowns and watches the recovery efforts, sending for more ships to help**
<Dias`> <Chad> Did anyone else notice how the PAX entered Hyperspace?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think Erevis is unlocking features
<Seraphna> Angela> Without a boost. It just slid into it.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Or using it as it was meant to be?
<Dias`> <Chad> More like dropped in to it. Which explains why we can't find that ship.
<Seraphna> Angela> Yeah… I thought she did that before but this one seems to know things the old gal didn’t.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So try to find out how it works and look for it
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Maybe a full system restart..."
<DeathStar> *Adeline leans on a wall near them, looking perturbed*
<Dias`> <Chad> Option one, yes. It also is able to be right next to a sun's heliosphere without any trouble.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'm going back to the temple world
<DeathStar> *she looks at Chad*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...Adeline, I'll rejoin you once we are finished ehre wiht Jaime's request."
<Dias`> *Chad looks over at Adeline* You sure that's wise?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Right. I believe this Erevis did merge with Katrina's body. But it doesn't mean she is Katrina.
<DeathStar> *is Erevis
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It also means we can't conduct an experiment with whatever remains of Erevis' hyperspace signature at that ship by trying to combine it with Katrina
<Seraphna> **Jaime seems to be working controls excessively, reading through things and piecing what she can together with the battle data**
<Dias`> *Chad looks at her for a moment then he hands her an Idlet* Keep in contact with us.
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods then moves off to wait*
<Seraphna> Jaime> <Love, there is a battery in your second side lab. Take it with you.>
<Dias`> *Chad moves up a shuttle and sits down, swiping his hand across the controls to power it up and send codes that they're leaving*
<DeathStar> *Adeline movesto retrieve it
<DeathStar> *Taiga works on the ship problem*
<DeathStar> -Epilogue 1-
<DeathStar> Location: Senate
<DeathStar> *William eyes the information from what happened, knuckles on table*
<DeathStar> <Aya> ,,,, The Suisen is walking a dangerous path
<DeathStar> <Aya> Even more so, the Progenitors are becoming even more dangerous than the enemy they are fighting
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "Still, based upon the reports, it was already too late for the Tsivrxsh homeworld." *looks aside* "...this is not the first time this has happened."
<DeathStar> *images of the ship no longer being in the area and the 10 Progenitors vanish, A moment or two later, Wind, Drasek, and Ao appear and seem to survey the distruction and retrieve what they can from Xevil's fleet*
<DeathStar> <Aya> And if any of our people begin to fall to this threat, will the Suisen annihiliate our homeworlds?
<DeathStar> *Olivia jerks*
<DeathStar> <Olivia> A-A-Absolutely not
<DeathStar> *William eyes her, then spreads his hands* Let us take a recess and let cooler hands prevail.
<DeathStar> *heads
<Seraphna> Ulieah> Agreed. This was extreme step. Not think Empress will be able to handle the one time. This was falling Gitar levels bad.
<Jackieness> <Arhn> *rises* "I shall consult with the Majestrix."
<DeathStar> *William stands up, adjusting his suit and preparing for a meeting*
<DeathStar> -Epilogue 2-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Progenitors keep an eye on the ship from outside, for some reason, monitoring their activites and listening in as the rescue operations continue. Everyone from planning to go to the temple, meeting with the Cartel, to returning to Earth, the simply hover nearby*

<Dias`> *Chad stands on the bridge of the beta ship, his hands resting on the railing. A far more deep and dangerous look on his face, very reminescent of Cran*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl is leaned back*
<DeathStar> *Adeline seems to be juggling a few things*
<Dias`> <Chad> This isn't going to end well.
<Dias`> <Chad> And I don't like how Jaime allowed it to happen without question.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> How would you have defeated the giant killer planet? I'm not saying it was the right call, but I'm not sure if I have one myself.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Knowing me I'd have gone gear mode and tried to go down it's mouth
<Dias`> <Chad> The problem wasn't as much as the solution, even though that was a level of mine that I keep to myself, it was the lack of hesitation. It was the only solution.
<Dias`> <Chad> And if that happened that easily then. How quickly will it happen to any other planet out there. How long before they start doing it to every planet that's possibly infected?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll have some more faith for Jaime but that Erevis I think will keep doing it
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And that tells me something
<Dias`> <Chad> Family can cause hesitation.
<Dias`> <Chad> But, yes this Erevis will continue to use it
<Dias`> <Chad> And part of me can't shake the feeling that this was set up to prove that there method works.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If that was done, then that also proves to me that isn't her
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Taiga already confirmd this Erevis is from out reality so we just have do identity her for good
<Dias`> <Chad> Even if this is Erevis, it's clearly not the same Erevis that we know. She reminds me more of the Empress Erevis that ran the Suisen Empire for awhile.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I can't say I know much about her, but you had respect for her. Would she do this?
<Dias`> <Chad> Maybe earlier in her life. *He shifts away from the railing, looking exhausted for a moment as he sits down* I gave her three options during the war. And she always leaned towards the balanced approach and the longer road with less casualties.
<Dias`> <Chad> But at that point she was also testing Jaime too.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A shame we don't have a way to talk to her. I know she left that A.I toy of herself for Kyouki but that's not like asking the real deal "Is that you?"
<Dias`> <Chad> I suppose that would depend on if she programmed it like I programmed Id.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> True.
<Dias`> <Chad> It's possible she left something in the programming, but we'd have to access the coding to see if it's there
<Dias`> <Chad> Which would also mean finding Kyouki.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I can see if I can get my hands on it if needbe
<Dias`> <Chad> Is it going to strain you to look in to it?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It shouldn't.
<Dias`> <Chad> If you can, give me the AI. I'll shift some of my work to Evette and look in to it. I don't want any of us overwhelmed that we miss something.

Session Ident: #TAW-PWMinis
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Right; will do
<DeathStar> *Cheryl rubs her head* Lemon can help a bit. She's surprisingly good with that type of stuff
<Dias`> *Chad taps his finger* Give it to her then.
<Dias`> <Chad> We need also need to reach out to any allies and friends on other worlds. Have them look to see if this ship has been acting on other worlds without our knowledg.e
<Dias`> *stars*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Where is there lots of dark ones, and barring that, lots of spiritual darkness
<Dias`> <Chad> Depends on your definition. But Jarivan would be a red flag in Cartel space
<Dias`> <Chad> Luna colony on the Moon. Hell, you could even argue that some of the Progenitors would fall in to that category.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You think I could get ahold off Wind and have him get info?
<Dias`> <Chad> It's a risk. He's a Hyperspace being from another branch. So he may not fall under their beliefs.
<Dias`> <Chad> I need time to think and plan ahead. *He turns to leave*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl and TAiga> Take care
* Dias` has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<DeathStar> *Erevis seems to be studying stuff*
<Seraphna> **Jaime studies her, having been quite somber since the attack.**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You did not care for how it was handled? Drasek and Ao should be helping your allies get to safety
<Seraphna> Jaime> I didn’t like the result, no. At least now I know the price I never wish to pay again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I could have used the ship, but you seemd fond of it
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And the odds were much lower of victory
<Seraphna> Jaime> You impressed on me long ago that the darkness in that planet could never be released. I saw a future where it did once. So perhaps I had less hesitation this one time. But we will find the rest before this is needed again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you plan to put the ship in dry dock? The maintaince cycle is over now. *she notes* Well I suppose it will be after Myria is done with the teleport system.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think we should still. I don’t know if the threat could come elsewhere but it is not worth risking more lives.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Of course. *she inputs back for Risokyo and they slip into hyperspace* You cannot trust that man, by the way. Chad. He is going to plot against you now
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is the way of such men
<Seraphna> **Jaime rubs her head** He’s Chad Winters. He plots against everyone. Even himself.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would not underestimate him.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He has darkness in him, too
<Seraphna> Jaime> I don’t. However his mind is a weapon that we can still use, like a loaded gun we simply take care he doesn’t discharge in our faces.
<Seraphna> Jaime> He is like Xevil in many ways. Dangerous but also useful. And about as much of a bastard as him too, based on his history and the crimes he chooses to forget.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Circling back to your point, we should cross check all the worlds that might have a Queen. If they have not hatched yet there will be no need to do what was done
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But if even one is hatched you will have to decide how far you will go before someone else does.
<DeathStar> *Zephyr arrives on the PAX, looking salty*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Agreed. We will double check Eartb too but I’m confident its core is safe. There were two incidents in the last centuries that showed it was clean.
<Seraphna> Jaime> If the queens are young, perhaps Noire can take them to heel before the influence reaches them. Or devour them.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would trust Jikuu more
<Seraphna> Jaime> I trust her with everything.
<DeathStar> *She studies Jaime, perhaps trying to discern the meaning behind that*
<Seraphna> Jaime> She’s my little sister and you yourself told me to trust in her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well
<Seraphna> Jaime> How long have you been back?
<DeathStar> *Erevis peers at Jaime, then cuts her eyes to the side as if thinking* A while.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Earlier you described the story you told me as a child telling stories to children. They sounds like a long time to think of yourself as such.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are observant. *she sounds somewhat impressed*
<Seraphna> Jaime> That could be so long… did you get to experience it all again with Dad and Momma Meg?
<DeathStar> *Erevis drums her fingers for a long period, peering at the consoles* I would have thought you would ask questions about the Progenitors
<Seraphna> Jaime> Would they be the surviving members of the hybrid team or did you find them after collecting the data on the Divine Intervention?
<DeathStar> *Erevis says nothing for a bit* I believe your club likely has the data on the hybrid team if they dig enough through the corrupted data. As for the Divine Intervention, it was created at the end of the original war as last offense when the Progenitor people were nearly extinct; one of many such projects meant to stop the Dark Ones. They were numerous and were about to sweep us and the Erusians
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods in understanding** Was it you, who went to the joke world after the hybrid team? Just saving myself some energy digging.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you do not mind unlocking your friends files
<DeathStar> *she motions*
<Seraphna> **Jaime tilts her head** I’m not sure what you mean, mother, I asked if you’d gone there or not?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Sometimes it is easier, believe it or not, to discover some answers yourself. If you are worried about my damaging data do not worry
<Seraphna> **Jaime slides her a datapad**
<DeathStar> *Erevis begins to slide and begin to bring up folders of Taiga's and selects stuff, tapping relevant files and restoring them and translating them quickly*
<DeathStar> *she hands it nack*

Session Start: Wed Sep 18 00:00:00 2024
Session Ident: #TAW-PWMinis
* Alicia has joined #TAW-PWMinis
<DeathStar> (one moment)
<DeathStar> *Erevis finishes handing back the datapad to Jaime on the bridge as they continue answering questions after the battle of the Tsivrixsh Homeworld*
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks over the data and sends the copy to Taiga, looking tired and not at all happy with recent events**
<Seraphna> Jaime> I presume the reason the old Progenitors address me without issue is this link and your having named me.
<Alicia> * Jikuu just looks thoughtful
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks over to Jikuu, then down at the table.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You wished to learn more about the hybrid project. All of it is there. Both of you should brush up on it
<Alicia> * Jikuu looks at the datapad. "I imagine so."
<DeathStar> *the hybrid project seems to have involved the Royal Family - and Erevis' name is one of the test subjects*
<DeathStar> *meanwhile, while this is going on, Taiga is entering Kyouki's room to grab the AI Erevis toy that Erevis left Kyouki, stealing it and putting it into a backpack*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "And why are you doing that?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga jerks, turning to look at Kyouki* Ah crap. I want to borrow this to see if I can figure out how much of Erevis' brainwave/personality she put into the toy. To compare it to the Erevis that is on the ship now.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Mmm... yeah, that's worth it."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'll get it back to you once I'm done and with the results. I might be wrong, but I just don't see Erevis being willing to blow up the Tsivrixsh system. ... Even if it might have been the only way to stop the Queen that exploded out of the core
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "You'd better."
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods and sneaks to her lab*
<DeathStar> *Erevis turns to the two*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I can see that morale has taken a hit. But you did what you had to do.
<DeathStar> *she begins to open a map of the universe as she speaks, bringing up worlds that the Dark Ones had taken over during the Dark War*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "So, why were they trying to make a hybrid anyway?" *reads on to see if it says*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If we wish to avoid another fully grown Dark Queen situation. *she begins to bring up worlds that the Dark Ones held onto for long periods of time* We were trying to make a hybrid because...
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Go on."
<DeathStar> *the information on the hybrid project reads as following: In addition to the Divine Light project, one group thought perhaps the Hybrid Project might be another way to end the endless conflict as they were losing the war to the Dark Ones swarming the galaxy. The Hybrid Project thought to turn a make a Progenitor with just enough of the properties of a Dark One that they could reach out to the Dark Ones and try to take control or shut them down, or even reach out and try to reason with the hiveminded Dark Ones (cont)
<DeathStar> *However, due to the fact the every day Progenitor lacked emotions, the Royals and their guards were the only suitable candidate Erevis' mother found. The Queen - Azora - decided to have Erevis and Ao experimented on as the prototypes to see if it was even doable before committing to making a newly made Hybrid. The two sisters were subjected to being infused with Dark energies and seeing if they could handle having a foot in the Dark One's world*
<Seraphna> Jaime> So that’s why we are Dark Elementals.
<DeathStar> *After it appeared successful after months of tests, the Hybrid was given the okay to go ahead. The logs mention at this point the war was nearing it's completion as the Progenitors were nearing it's collapse and so at the same time the Divine was sent out.*
<Seraphna> Jaime> So this Hybrid is related to us? If it required a Royal or an Attendant…
<DeathStar> <Erevis> From what I understand from the scientist, they made the Hybrid from scratch after the initial tests. But it is possible they used hyperspace from us. But at the of the war things became hectic and lost.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It was never put into action
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The Divine weapon stopped the onslaught at the time but it left our area of the galaxy in ruin, not that many of us were left
<Seraphna> Jaime> How did you wind up in the Sol System?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ah. Hyperspace.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Mmm... I wonder what happened to the hybrid."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A future problem most likely now
<DeathStar> *Erevis spreads her hands to the two*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> One moment while I do something
<DeathStar> *she steps downstairs into 1B, leaving the two sisters alone to confer with each other*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I wonder..."
<DeathStar> *Ako lets out a breath and for a moment she looks very much like Athena*
<DeathStar> <Ako> While we have a moment, I'll update you both. Word has begun to spread about the return of Erevis. There has been some rumblings among the population that they would like her back in charge due to all the craziness going on but it's still a very minor group. After the destruction of the Tsivrixsh Homeworld, I fear Chad Winters is going to be a problem and with Aya being President of Earth, we might have Earth being an issue
<DeathStar> <Ako> I haven't been able to get a pulse from the other races. I get the feeling the Erusians are on our side with the decision
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...well, there is that at least."
<DeathStar> <Ako> The Cartel - no idea. Xevil and Templars no clue.
<DeathStar> <Ako> If Chad Winters is planning to go all crazy and making plans to harm us we might want to make plans to counter him back
<Seraphna> Jaime> Xevil will likely side with us as long as we recognize his right to the fallen empire space. The Templars retain many biases against the Dark Ones despite all that has happened.
<DeathStar> <Ako> Also - *she peers at 1B* What do you two think about Erevis? Is she being truthful?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Hard to say. She is definitely hiding information, though."
<DeathStar> <Ako> I agree
<DeathStar> <Ako> She keeps dancing around something
<Seraphna> Jaime> I don’t blame Chad for being put off by what happened, but I think we should reach out to Aya to assure her it will not happen again if it can be helped. As for Mother… I am not sure. There is something still in the way. Something she feels we should not know.
<DeathStar> *Ako studies the map Erevis was looking at*
<Seraphna> Jaime> There is one thing I want to try still. We should bring Angel Cran to the PAX.
<DeathStar> <Ako> Okay. *Erevis returns with a tray of food on it and some coffee for them*
<Seraphna> Jaime> A long time ago the Elder Erevis was supposedly murdered. We never quite closed the thread of that story.
<DeathStar> *Erevis offers Jaime and Jikuu the tray*
<Seraphna> **Jaime tries a bit, looking at the coffee curiously** When did you switch?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Well. How long have you been up?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "There is still way too much uncertain."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm? A while now. It's just you were a tea drinker before you all...
<DeathStar> *Erevis does not seem to be drinking any, having made it for them*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you prefer tea, I can make go prepare it - with all the tea leaves there, one would trip over it.
<Seraphna> **Jaime smiles** Yes you collected a lot. I continued it. Terra grows us many kinds. But this is good too.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you two have a goal in mind now?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I still need more information."
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods* I will see to it then about the possible infested worlds. And after that let us hope none of your friends are one of them now
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I feel like the hybrid is the key to all of this."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Please. *she motions for Jikuu for any thoughts*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "This is really the reason I require as much information as possible on the plan."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well, there are tons of the scientists research notes on it if you think you can formulate a way to find it and deal with it. But it was lost to us when the ship it was on crashed
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "It is possible the notes are still on the ship."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, that is true.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "For one, we do not know how much the experiment affected us."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Since it was at the end of the war, the Queen never had a chance to .... see how it affected her daughters according to the notes, but it does seem now that it has passed on to some of the later generations
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Perhaps we should visit the medical unit."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have noted, however, that some of your siblings lean toward fire and two toward more of a holy light. They actually would be useful in dealing with the Dark Ones
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Changing the subject, but noted."
<DeathStar> *Erevis considers, then prepares herself with a suit to go to medical*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Lead the way
<Alicia> * Jikuu does that
<DeathStar> *Cuddles sits in medical, looking exhausted, lab coat off and her outfit open showing chest. She is examining Bobbi, eyeing results and still trying to wake her*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Ah, is this a bad time?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime walks with them in thought**
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Ah no, of course not Empresses. What can I help you with?
<DeathStar> *she stands up and fumbles for her coat*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer steps over dressed smartly, cost closed**
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "We require scans of... really, all of us."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Something I should look for in particular compared to your normal scans on file?
<DeathStar> *she has Jikuu lay down*
<Alicia> * Jikuu gives the best description, given the limited data on the hybrid project
<Seraphna> Jaime> **whispers to Erevis** Since we are doing this, is there anything we should know about your hyperspace profile?
<DeathStar> *Cuddles begins to scan, focusing stuff, information appearing on screen* It is true that you are dark elemental despite being a Progenitor, which is energy based and you'd think they would be Holy elemental. The scans show here indicate you're a normal Progenitor, but that you're dark adjacent - meaning you're not a Dark One or a hybrid. Sort of like having you foot in the door way. Funny thing is you probably could be pushed all the way through if I had the research notes. Probably the same could be true for Jaime.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "It would be strange if I was not dark adjacent."
<DeathStar> *Erevis glances at her* <Erevis> *whisper* For now, let us see what the scans turn up for Jikuu
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> With all the stuff going on though I'm not sure if you're safe from the hive mind. Probably you are, surprisingly.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I hope so."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I know whenever I join with Gnome or use my Spirit Form I temporarily type change to Earth.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> You are dark adjacent, but you're more Progenitor. As long as your spirit isn't tainted by dark thoughts; if you become a full hybrid, that might change
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Well, we know also the theory of having more than one element too
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> A few people have managed it
<DeathStar> *Cuddles eyes someone's profile* In fact, someone's done it recently
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Who is that? ...if it is safe to say right now."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Ren Mizukaze.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...really?"
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Since the Lich incident she can switch between fire and dark
<DeathStar> *lightning
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> If Jaime can add Earth through her spirit, and Ren has added Dark through her death experience, then adding a second one might be a matter of undergoing a transformation
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Hmm... I think I understand something I missed before. I just wonder why this might be important."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> It could be something to keep in mind
<Seraphna> Jaime> Thena has an artifact that allows her to alter her element at will too.
<DeathStar> *Cuddles begins to scan Jaime now*
<DeathStar> *bringing up her information - it looks a lot like Jikuu's, though it's twinged with Earth mixed in with the Dark sectors*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Not sure if that is from taking Selena’s power or my life bond to Gnome. Maybe a mix of the two.
<DeathStar> *Erevis head tilts*
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> It looks pretty much the same... I think.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "And now Erevis."
<DeathStar> *Erevis lays on the bed and Cuddles begins to scan her; images begin to appear showing Progenitor images as Cuddles begin to seek out the Dark portion, when suddenly the machine poofs and seems to depower. Erevis raises an eyebrow as Cuddles fiddles wit it* <Cuddles> One moment. *She examines it* It seems to have overloaded it
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Suspicious timing, is it not?"
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I had trouble getting her previous scans too.
<DeathStar> *she eyes Erevis with a look*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is that a probem?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Yes."
<DeathStar> *Cuddles gets it rebooted*
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Alright, attempt 2
<DeathStar> *Cuddles zooms in and begins to search* There is no dark element. .... Interesting. *she brings up what looks to be an Earth element*
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I was not expecting that
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> And there might be a secondary one but I can't pick up on it
<DeathStar> *Cuddles flips through her files while Erevis lays there* <Cuddles> She definitely can't be infectd by Dark Ones at least
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...well, that was important information, at least."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Here, Katrina was Earth elemental.
<DeathStar> *she holds Katrina's file*
<Seraphna> Jaime> So… you lost the hybridization?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would seem this body lacks it, yes.
<DeathStar> -P-
* Dias` has joined #TAW-PWMinis
<DeathStar> *Adeline sits in the waiting room of the Cartel*
<Dias`> *Chad, having rearranged things, sits beside her. His eyes focused on his datapad a bit*
<DeathStar> *The door opens and William and his sister are there, both dressed up and motion for the two to come inside* Thank you for waiting; please come on in
<Dias`> *A display across the room activates and even though it's distorted a bit, in a rare occassion Shiva' appears*
<Dias`> *Chad gets up, holding a a hand to help Adeline up*
<DeathStar> *Adeline takes it* Thank you.
<Dias`> *Chad nods and moves inside, eyeing the Shiva holo briefly*
<DeathStar> *Adeline bows her head to Shiva* Shiva.
<DeathStar> *William and the sister take seats, hands on the table*
<Dias`> *The holo nods* Adeline.
<DeathStar> *Adeline looks at the paperwork* I wanted to talk about a business venture between our people.
<Dias`> <Shiva> Based on what...*there's a slight pause* Mr. Winters has brought to our attention, this is a sensitive supject
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yes. It will be quite sensitive.
<Dias`> <Shiva> William. Let us follow proper etiquite then.
<DeathStar> *William nods and prepares stuff, leaning toward Adeline who meets his gaze*
<Dias`> *Chad slowly leans forward, looking at Will*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Constructing these quickly and on the low so it doesn't get out to the ... *she doesn't want to quite use the word enemy, but they both know they are a problem* Progenitors. I am hoping we can work together in the construction of.... *she sets down sketches and diagrams she has been making* This
<DeathStar> *she slides it over to William, who looks it over, then turns it for Shiva*
<Dias`> *Shiva eyes it for a moment* You understand what you're asking of us correct?
<Dias`> *Chad leans over to Adeline, whispering in her ear*
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods and folds her hands* I see it like this. You're ahead in the area of technology. Right now we have a problem that is possibily going to cause all of us more of a headache. I also do not relish taking more lives when this could possibly hold them in place while all the races decide what to do.
<Dias`> *The Shiva image pauses for a moment*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> If necessary I can take the blame if this blows in our face.
<Dias`> <Chad> And if this causes a rift between you and Jaime?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I informed hre of my plan to make something non-lethal to stop them. If she turns down the use of it, then the technology is still in your hands and the blame still can be re-directed my way if it goes bad. But I believe I can talk her into using it aftre the incident with the Tsivrixsh Homeworld.
<Dias`> *Chad leans forward, clearly thinking*
<DeathStar> *William whispers to Shiva*
<DeathStar> *Adeline looks like she is aware of what she's doing, too, ability wise she is handing over, but her hand is being forced*
<DeathStar> *perhaps her insight is telling her no other move can be done*
<Dias`> *Shiva's staticy image seems to lean foward* It would seem this is quite the important venture for you all things considering. *The image then leans back* If you're willing to take on full responsiblity...*The image look at Chad briefly* And with the weight of that hand behind it, I don't see why we shouldn't support you fully.
<Dias`> <Shiva> I'll make sure that you have the resources needed to deal with this problem.
<Dias`> *Chad seems to look back, a slight tension in his left hand*&
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods* Thank you. I'll prepare a staging area to have plenty of these made and without worry of leaks. *she resists the urge to rub her face. The sister gives a smile and William goes to prepare the necessary paperwork*
<Dias`> <Shiva> I'm glad that this turned out fruitful for both parties. *The image distorts then disappears*
<DeathStar> *Adeline lets out a breath after William is gone*
<Dias`> *Chad grunts as he stands up, studying Will for a slight second then looking at Adeline*
<Dias`> <Chad> Are you ok with this
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yeah. It can be abused down the road, but what in life isn't when something is made. The problem is right now the Dark One problem is almost over. Which means the Progenitors are going to be the main problem. The PAX is going to be in danger, Xevil will be in danger, worlds taken over during the Dark War will be in danger.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> And knowing our irony and luck, the Dark Ones will then regroup and be a problem again
<Dias`> *Chad studies her for a moment* There should be a balance to everything.
<Dias`> <Chad> Something that's exists or is created to cause restraint
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We will see if this plays out or if I'm making a mistake. But I'll accept it as I promised. Accountability needs to be held. *narrows eyes* But before I go, I want to know who that Erevis is - be it a future version or a fake
<Dias`> *Chad stands up* I think it's Erevis. Just not the Erevis we know
<DeathStar> <Adeline> That will complicate things. *She grunts and moves over to the sister - both of them eyeing each other, then leans over and begins to finish up the Cartel paperwork*
<Dias`> *it's pretty straight forward*
* Dias` has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
