* Jackieness has joined #TAW-Session306
* Stretch`cell has joined #TAW-Session306
<DeathStar> Alright
<DeathStar> ARE. YOU. READY?
<Sara> Mew
<Orthogon> Ja.
* Jackieness is ready to eat! Approaches DS with mouth open
<Xanatos> Hm
<kalonZombee> I'm as ready as I can be I suppose
<DeathStar> Oh no. I better start the countdown
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-639.3.15 - 5 days after getting moved to the new base
<DeathStar> Location: EarthGov Military Complex
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon has her science people install their old equipment, frowning when some of their high tech stuff isn't always compatible and causes lights to flicker
<DeathStar> *Jenny sits, visiting from base housing, having snuck in*
<Seraphna> * Angela seems to be musing how to deal with the power drain, tapping a screen.
<Jackieness> 6* One of the pieces of equipment shrieks when its plugged in!
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na blinks, looking around
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Are we going to have to re-wire this--- what the hell?
<ChadWinters> Getting our equipment to mesh is proving to be tedious.
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> ...Did anyone else hear a scream?
<Seraphna> Angela> "Myria, did you bring the machine that goes AAAARRRGGGHH with us?"
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> ...Shit, did they confiscate Lostandfoundbot?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I am sure they took anything they deemed dangerus
<DeathStar> <Lemon> And are keeping it
<ChadWinters> You have amassed a lot of dangerous stuff over hte years
<Jackieness> <Myria> *crawls out of the box that shrieked, hair standing on end*
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> I see.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus walks around the base, glancing around.
<Seraphna> Angela> "Dear, why were you in there?"
<Seraphna> * Tabetha sets her lab up, considering what to build this time.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Hiding." *looks around conspiratorially*
<DeathStar> *A man in a white lab coat knocks on the door* H-Hello?
<Seraphna> * Angela peers over. "Hey there!"
<DeathStar> <Man> Is this the Special Ops base?
<Seraphna> Angela> "The one and only. Don't mind the screams."
* ChadWinters glances at the Man the grunts in response.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "They've come to deport me!" *points at the man and runs to hide again*
<DeathStar> *The doctor holds out his hand* I'm Enpece. Nice to meet you. *he blinks at Myria*
<Seraphna> * Angela rolls her eyes. "Hasn't Warren made you a citizen like twice now?"
* ChadWinters rubs his face at Myria then looks at Lemon. 1"Is she going to part of our group?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ... tell me she's been vetted.
<DeathStar> *Warren walks by holding pain pills, popping them while in uniform, moving to another part of the base. The man's eyes just widen*
<Seraphna> Angela> "She should have been. She's been a part of the official military unit before and that would be impossible without vetting."
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Hey, you were tlaking to us
<Jackieness> <Myria> *peeks out from behind a console*
<ChadWinters> If she's hiding in a crate, then it's doubtful.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus rubs his face, yawning as he walks in to the area where the others are.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> This place kinda sucks, huh?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> You are the one in charge of the missions
<DeathStar> <Enpece> Well, I am your doctor. <Lemon> Tch. Are they still being anal about Daiman?
<Seraphna> Angela> "Or Reese for that matter."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Pronounce your name phonetically. 6* he says to Empece.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "More likely they assume we will need three doctors."
<ChadWinters> Myria, go get vetted properly if you haven't. We don't need any trouble right now.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Ah-ha!" *holds up a card* "I *do* have clearance!"
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na hrmphs... she doesn't like doctors
<DeathStar> <Enpece> I-I don't much about that. I just know they wanted a medical doctor here. I am suppose to be the head doctor. I will be glad to work with this Mr. Reese
<Seraphna> * Tabetha steps in, moving over to Angela's plans to look them over.
<DeathStar> *he blinks at Marcus*
<Seraphna> Angela> "Oh, Reese is his first name. He's Senator Sullivan's kid."
<Jackieness> <Myria> *scurries off*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> In Peace? En...PAce.?
<Seraphna> Angela> "Hey, it's better than Tom Doctor."
<DeathStar> *the doctor goes to hurry to find the Senator's son, likely to get a good word in, and get away from Marcus*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Wow, rude.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Well, that is done. *she listens to X being rowdy in the other part of their base with the secondary team*
<ChadWinters> You scared him.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> If that's all it takes then he's not going to work out.
<Seraphna> * Reese is in medical, doing what he was trained from birth to do while not healing people, reading a book and watching soaps.
<DeathStar> *the lights flicker again when Ren plugs in their personal teleporter system*
<DeathStar> *and blows it out*
<Seraphna> Angela> "So yeah... we need a reactor."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Niiiiiiiiice."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ... okay, we need an expert to re-wire this all
<DeathStar> <Ren> I didn't mean it!!
<Jackieness> <Myria> "oh-ho, now I am needed!"
<Seraphna> Angela> "I can build something to generate the power we need, but not necessarily hook it up."
<DeathStar> *Zephyr and Darien walk in, and Darien leans on his cane*
<ChadWinters> It's a wiring issue, not a power issue so much Angela.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "I can fix it!" *thrusts her fist in the air*
<Seraphna> Angela> "Mmm, well okay then. Myria and Tabetha."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "I am good with wires. Bases are basically just starships that don't fly."
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Ho-ho!" *turns* "Let's get to work!"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> *pats Marcus* You are in charge. Let me know if anything comes up that I am needed
<Seraphna> Angela> "Points if you two somehow get it to fly."
<DeathStar> *she moves to her office, dragging Jenny along*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Uh. Right. Are you sure we can't get the K-man to come work on this stuff?
<DeathStar> *Lemon looks a bit depressed, missing cooking*
<Seraphna> Angela> "K-man...?"
* ChadWinters rubs his face again at Angela talking, before he looks at Marcus briefly.
<ChadWinters> Kane.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *pulls up her virtual console and begins laying out schematics in the air*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Kane!? Surely he's dead. 6*He gives a big wink.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If you assign him to your team, then get him to work on it
<Seraphna> Angela> "Oh, Chris. Why isn't he here?"
<DeathStar> *Zephyr sits in the chair as the lights finally come back on*
<Seraphna> Angela> "I'd have totally looked to him first."
<Seraphna> * Tabetha yawns and moves to go help Myria for now.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Last Lemon mentioned he was staying away because of the whole not wanting people to know he's alive thing.
<Seraphna> Angela> "Can't we like, put a beard on him or something?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, that's going to put him off the team then
<ChadWinters> He's probably using me a lithmus test. See how the domino's fall with me coming back first.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Seems other than the senators asking you questions, no one has really cared
<ChadWinters> It appears that way.
<DeathStar> <Ren> It looks like Dias and Cran have kept a lot of heat off of us
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Eh I dunno, you two are weird.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "The power distribution is sun-standard. Even an Erusian civilian autofab has better specs than this place.' *spins it around*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "They probably think this operation is has-bin city."
<Seraphna> Angela> "Well put a beard on him and get him in."
<DeathStar> *a pre-teen voice speaks up* That's because this place is military. Military places suck. It's no doubt Cheryl used her own money
<DeathStar> *Zephyr pauses and spins her chair, looking around*
<Seraphna> Angela> "She did... hmm, who was that?" *she looks over*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances to the voice.
* ChadWinters glances around briefly at the voice.
<DeathStar> *An unknown girl stands there, her clothes made out of jungle stuff, her her hair a whiteish blonde, with more white than blonde, but it is there. She looks a lot like Spade in ways, peering around. She looks 12ish now.*
<DeathStar> *studying stuff in disgust*
<Seraphna> * Angela raises an eyebrow. "Who... who are you?"
<ChadWinters> Seem's you finally came back.
<DeathStar> <Girl> I would hire outside contractors with whatever money your team gets, give it to your team's builders and do a building do over. Sector by sector
<Seraphna> Angela> "That's a good plan but... who..." *she looks perplexed*
<DeathStar> <Girl> Bring the supplies in discreetly
<Seraphna> Tabetha> We have Dragoon Subspace and Ripples for that.
<ChadWinters> You'd have to shut off sensors for the ripples.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Hmm, maintainence windows happen. Who is this girl though and why does she look like one of my donors?"
* ChadWinters glances over at the girl again. 1"Grown up enough, Adaline?"
<DeathStar> <Girl> *she peers at Angela, then at Chad* She has not changed that much.
<Seraphna> Angela> "Holy hell girl you've gotten bigger."
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods, 13ish actually* I wanted to be 1 year older than Jenny. She is 12 now, I'm 13
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Now maybe she won't pick on me for being a short genius
<Seraphna> * Angela walks over, sizing her up and down. "You've changed so much I didn't recongize you."
<ChadWinters> Lemon know you're back yet?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I am heading to meet her now. It took a lot of convincing with the base people I was her daughter
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Though apparantly she is going by Cheryl
* ChadWinters clicks his tongue. 1"You said you were Cheryl's daughter I hope."
<Seraphna> Angela> "You might have more easily pulled off some others on the team... wow..."
* Jackieness has quit IRC (*.net *.split)
* kalonZombee has quit IRC (*.net *.split)
* Xanatos has quit IRC (*.net *.split)
* Sara has quit IRC (*.net *.split)
* Stretch has quit IRC (*.net *.split)
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods, moving to check on Lemon* Have fun
* Chaintan has quit IRC
* Chaintan has joined #TAW-Session306
* Sara has joined #TAW-Session306
* Jackieness has joined #TAW-Session306
* kalonZombee has joined #TAW-Session306
* Xanatos has joined #TAW-Session306
* Stretch has joined #TAW-Session306
<ChadWinters> Well she's not wrong about contractors. 6He crosses his arms. 1"I have a few contacts left that I can use that can help getting supplies on
<ChadWinters> They're contractors too so that should help
<Seraphna> * Angela nods. "I can make a few calls too, they're not military but I've got quite a few builders who work on my businesses."
<Seraphna> Angela> We can squeeze work out of what we get like blood from a stone."
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Well there's at least one thing you've learned from me.
<DeathStar> *Zephyr whistles, having watched the 13 year old go by, then back to the others*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Crazy
<ChadWinters> You really think so? 6He looks at Zephyr
<Seraphna> Angela> "I do wonder how Cherry is getting vetted."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You think Cherry will return and try to come?
<Seraphna> * Angela nods. "She seemed to be thinking on it and with both Marcus and I here it makes sense."
<ChadWinters> Possibly. Depends on if her wanderlust calls her back to Marcus
<Seraphna> Angela> "Wander, yes."
<DeathStar> *their favorite Senator walks in*
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na chuckles
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You guys are just jealous that we have a solid connection.
<Seraphna> Angela> "Oh hi, favorite Senator."
<DeathStar> <Senator> Where is the the team leader? *He spots Marcus*
<DeathStar> *he moves over to him*
<Seraphna> Angela> "Cheryl is in her office, but Marcus is the field commander."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What up?
<DeathStar> <Senator Denham> We have some issues we want to discuss with you, commander. Is your team ready?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Uh, sure. You guys ready? 6* He glances to them.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Sure. <Zephyr> Guess so
<ChadWinters> Yes.
<Seraphna> Angela> "Sure, why not."
<DeathStar> *the Senator takes a seat*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Alright then."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods and then moves to take a seat.
<DeathStar> *he holds out his hand, the Earth borrowing a bit of the Data-Reader tech from Geyze and information appears from it on Geyze and Kumen*
<DeathStar> <Senator Denham> As you know, time moves differently on those planets, compared to ours. Even more so on Yggdrasil. Thankfully, the tree is more secured thanks to join efforts by Earth, Geyze, and PAX.
<DeathStar> *joint
<Seraphna> * Angela nods.
<DeathStar> <Senator Denham> But that stll leaves the problem of Geyze and Kumen. We have good intel that criminals around the galaxy have been sneaking there all over the galaxy due to the fact time moves faster, giving them more time to plot. We informed their governments, but that also means when they leave, they will likely be better prepared than we like
<DeathStar> <Senator Denham> Despite the fact I would like nothing more than to go to their planet to personally look for said criminals, we do not have the permission - this Alliance Leader said it will be their job.
<Seraphna> * ANgela frowns, leaning back and nodding, that's problematic.
<ChadWinters> It is an advantage that can be used easily.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Sounds like a pain. What did you have in mind?
<DeathStar> <Senator Denham> But that doesn't stop us from trying to stop some of these organizations here. One of the biggest ones is the mercenary group that has been gaining traction lately.
<ChadWinters> The Cobalts, correct?
<Seraphna> Tabetha> *rubs her head and nods*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Eh? 6* He glances to Chad.
<DeathStar> *he brings up the Cobalts logo* They are a mercenary group that has the fingers in just about everything. We think even supported the V.I that was around a few years back. They'll work for just about anyone if the pay is right
<DeathStar> <Senator Denham> We cannot find any good intel on their endgame and but we do know two of their agents. *he brings up Sunny and Lev's case files* Both are known to work for two different agendas. One for Weapon rights, an another for chaos
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...those two?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I was about to ask what makes them stand out from any other knuckle-headed Mercs. But that about sums it up. We hate those two.
<DeathStar> <Senator Denham> Thankfully Dragoon Mem traced a bit of their movements long ago, so we have some files for you to look into their hidehours they used to use
<Seraphna> Angela> "Sunny works for nothing but herself and a desire to cause havoc."
<ChadWinters> So we're going to go after them, then.
<Stretch`cell> *Damian walks in, setting a datapad on the table in front of Marcus with all of his clearances from Medical Division as well as the pertinent investigations that were done on his background. He takes a seat in the back*
* ChadWinters looks over at Denham
<DeathStar> *he sets the filechip down* If you can nab those two, it would help. The Cobalts are becoming a big problem. IF you cannot get them, get me at least one Cobalt member so we can get more intel on their organization
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Alright. We'll do what we can. Anything else or any other questions. 6* he asks to everyone, not just the Senator.
<DeathStar> *He rises, and points* Also, you need to have that cosplayer vetted*
<DeathStar> *he walks out*
<Seraphna> * Angela looks up slowly. "Cosplayer...?"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus blinks, glancing around looking for a cosplayer.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Don't look at me! I was one of the first ones cleared!"
<DeathStar> *a white haired Cheryl is wearing one of Marcus' jackets, spinning in one of his chairs. She looks a bit short for a Cheryl, about 5'3, and has red eyes*
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Cosplayer?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Cherry!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl?> Whee
* ChadWinters glances over at Cherry. 1"Seem's her walkabout is over."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Vetted. 6* He nods, smirking.
<DeathStar> *Cherry smiles and leaps into Marcus' arms* Hello. *she seems to be in full adult form these days*
<Seraphna> * Cherry is tackled hugged.
<DeathStar> *Cherry falls over with Marcus*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus urcks.
<Seraphna> * Angela hugs them both.
<Seraphna> Angela> "Heeee...."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> This isn't professional behavior.
<DeathStar> <Cherry> I am glad I could bring you two both together again
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na moves over and hugs them all
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Hello Chery
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Hello, Rabbit.
<Stretch`cell> Damian> It takes me pulling every background document from my file in another division...and she's just 'done'?
<Seraphna> Angela> "I vet my adorable little sister. So there."
<DeathStar> <Cherry> *she stands up, keeping the jacket* See? You need bewbs
<DeathStar> *Darien and Zephyr watch from the side lines, while Ren leans over to Reikana*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> In seriousness we're going to have to mock up some credentials, it's risky, but we'll take care of it.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I see no change in our operations*
* ChadWinters rubs his temple slightly
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus stands and takes the file chip and moves over to pull it up.
<DeathStar> <Cherry> I got it. I am Cheryl's out of wed lock daughter
<Seraphna> Angela> "I mean, I'm perfectly willing to legally adopt her."
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Who looks just like her
<DeathStar> *Cherry does the peace sign*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Yeah... everything is just as weird as it was before so far."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Myria's occupied with wires so it's actually less weird than it could be."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I"'
<DeathStar> *Cherry leans toward Angela* Does this mean I call you momma now?
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Both of us, dear~
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'll talk to Lemon about it. We'll figure it out. Damien, after this you can report to Medical and get acquainted with Empece and Reese.
* ChadWinters moves to look at the terminal and the info being pulled up.
<Seraphna> * Angela flusters. "Sis is fine... u-unless you want to."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus begins going throught he data, looking for a good place to start.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *gets the mains working again in the meantime*
<DeathStar> *it lists a hotel and a burger joint as 1*
<Stretch`cell> *Damian shakes his head and looks up for a moment* Empece...why does that name sound familiar?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> New doctor. Dunno. Hey I remember this burger place, we fought those two there. This must've been where Mem started trailing them.
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Enpece, Damian. Not Em.
<ChadWinters> We can try searching it again, but odds are it's been cleaned.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh was that his name? My bad.
<Stretch`cell> *Damian shrugs* Oh, well either way I'm sure it's nothing...
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus points to the hotel.
<DeathStar> *Cherry chats with Adeline off to the side about tips*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We need to check that out. 6* He lookks to see if there's something listed as 2.
<DeathStar> *it lists a location 10 miles away as another hotel and burger joint, then the third has the same, and so on*
<DeathStar> *apparantly they really like that burger chain*
<ChadWinters> See a connection, Marcus
<Seraphna> Angela> "Hotels and Burger Chains. ANd not a coffee shop in sight."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah they should have way fatter asses than they do.
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> So they're not hipsters, at least.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Maybe trace who owns the Burger franchise?"
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> And speak for yourself, my ass is fantastic.
* ChadWinters crosses his arms. 1"Seem's like a pretty big oversight for them to use the same combo over and over.
<Seraphna> * Angela squeezes it.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Trace...yeah.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus stares at it.
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na grins at Angela "Later dear~
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What happened to all of our programming nerds?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *sits down* What do you need?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "They went on the ship."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Traced, what is
<Stretch`cell> Rea> Unless the Chain is a front for their organization.
<Seraphna> Angela> "I still do that, though mostly machine code. For robots. And by Robots I mean Montana is on standby."
* ChadWinters pulls out his datapad and starts pulling up info on the burger franchise
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We want to find links between these hotel and burger francheses and the Cobalts, specifically lev and Sunny. They probably have fake names.
<Seraphna> Angela> Butch and Sundance?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Twat and Waffle, maybe.
<DeathStar> *Adeline looks it up. Chad meanwhile would find the burger chain has been around for ages, and is actually poor reviewed until recently*
<ChadWinters> Give me a bit. 6He starts pulling cross references between hotels connected close to the burger franchise, looking for any money traces.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> No connections that I can see. The hotels seem to be different each time.
<DeathStar> *she brings up the various hotels.* Though they are cheap
<ChadWinters> Hmmm. Burger place used to be crap until recently. 6Looks to see when it started and what changed around then.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> So just a cheap hotel next to one of these burger chains?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> About that. If you mean next as in within a few miles
<ChadWinters> If you expand it a bit? 6He looks over to Adeline
<DeathStar> *Chad would read reviews about the fries improving and the new burgers that turned the plac around*
<Stretch`cell> *Rea looks at the map* What about a stop between the burger place and the hotel?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Give me time.
<DeathStar> *Adeline begins to work*
* ChadWinters looks to see if any new investors jumped in about that time or a new owner/ceo
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances at what's between the burger joints and the hotels liek Rea suggested.
<DeathStar> *Just looking at the map of each place, it would look like tons of stores, sometimes, sometimes nothing, sometimes a mall, once it was near the court thing, once near a military thing*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...nh. 6* He squints and glances back to the notes to see if there's any other information in there that he missed.
<DeathStar> *Chad would see the investors, even in the old day, are hidden for some reason. The owner seems to be owneed by a retired military chef*
<Stretch`cell> Rea> How long were they at each Hotel?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Wow. This one really expects me to work miracles
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I don't think Mem's data lists that
<Seraphna> * Angela pats Adeline's head. "Do what you can, Rea is mystified by the holonet still."
<ChadWinters> Seem's the original investors where silent partners. Current owner is...6He flicks his finger, sending the info a monitor for everyone to see
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ex-Military? Those seem to be the merc types.
<ChadWinters> Generally.
<DeathStar> *Adeline brings up the map* There is nothing between the hotels. But...
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na looks for vegetarian options... or at least fries
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Often there is a target of interest within 30 miles of one of the food places
<ChadWinters> Most teleporters use a fair amount of energy to operate. 6He works on bringing up energy data for the burger places
<Stretch`cell> Rea> Just thinking out loud is all...if they spent time at the Hotel for any length of time, chances are that they would have gone somewhere in the mean time. Facial recognition of local stores and such shouldn't be too hard.
<DeathStar> *Adeline brings up a data center that does something similiar to Facebook in the old days, but imagine Holonet days, and so on*
<ChadWinters> 30 miles is more than enough time for a skilled mercenary to get in and out with minimum chances of being caught.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Not sure if this is what you wanted
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus rubs his face slowly.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> No real military locations, but things like that
<DeathStar> <Darien> *leans on cane*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Information gathering? 6* he drums his fingers, squinting.
<DeathStar> *Chad would see nothing unusual in the locations like that*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Why that type?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Information is power?
<ChadWinters> I've got a program monitoring data output on of the burger joints, we might get lucky. I'm beginning to think they've found a way to hide/buffer it.
<ChadWinters> *energy*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well, I'm open to go case out a few places, see if we can spot them. Anyone have any other ideas?
<ChadWinters> We could always try and place a order for a mercenary from Cobalt
<Seraphna> Tabetha> We will need to be careful, lest we spook them.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah, if they're actively working against earthgov I doubt they'd take us up on that.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We could scope out that ex-military guy.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That Sunny girl is a bit crazy, who knows
<Xanatos> <Marcus> See if he's up to anything fishy.
<ChadWinters> They've kept themselves out of the limelight this long. They might not trip up that easy now.
<DeathStar> <Cherry> So road trip?
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Road Trip."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ungh, boys
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Zeph?
<DeathStar> <Darien> I will stay here and monitor things
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I guess I will go. Should I bring in X?
<DeathStar> *she rises*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Uh, she might just try to fight everybody.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> True. Plus she might take over
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus gets to his feet and moves for their...van? Whatever they have.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Upstate
<DeathStar> 6* They soon arrive at a large mansion with statues of the burger joint all over
<DeathStar> *a large gate protects the place
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Holy shit, look at those statues.
<DeathStar> *Cherry peers at it, still big after a few hours*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> I hate it. It's gaudy.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus side eyes Cherry as he's leaning to look out the window.
* ChadWinters eyes his datapad, a satellite view of the mansion
<Seraphna> * Angela looks at Marcus, then points to her eyes, then him.
<Seraphna> * Angela then grins a bit.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shakes his head then glances around to see if there are any cameras around.
<DeathStar> *there is a few*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Heeeey Adeline. 6* He holds up his comm.
<ChadWinters> What's the plan, Marcus?
<DeathStar> <Adeline on comm> Yes?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> *c* Could you get a good look at the Chef guy on the camera and then run a program to follow him with facial reconstruction and all that?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus glances to Chad and shakes his head slightly.
<Xanatos> Marcus> We could go in, but we'd be breaking laws. We coudl ask to speak with him but that could tip him off.
<ChadWinters> If he is working with Cobalt, then odds are his mansion has a lot more hidden camera's than what you see.
<ChadWinters> Most likely on a closed network
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm open to suggestions from anyone. Honestly it feels like we're just a hair away from fucking up and tipping them off, hell sitting here talking might be enough to do that.
<DeathStar> *Adeline can be heard working*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It can't hurt to talk to him
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Say that some known terrorists eat at his place and we need his help
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Afterwards we could go around to some of the stores and ask employees if they've seen Lev or Sunny.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ask if he could post posters in his place of businesses
<ChadWinters> Sometimes, all you need to do is pull at a thread and the rest comes unravelled
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Thank you Mr. Cryptic. Yeah Zeph I think you're on the right track. 6* He pulls up to the gate, hitting the call button.
<ChadWinters> If he's expendable and they off him, then odds are we close one venue for them to teleport from.
<DeathStar> *a female voice is heard* Yes?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hello, we're here on earthgov business. We'd like to speak with Mr. *The person's name*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus holds up his badge if there's a camera.
<DeathStar> *after a bit the gates open*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus drives them up to the front door or the closest parking spot, then gets out and moves for the entrance.
* ChadWinters steps out from the side door, adjusting his belt slightly
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus rings the bell when he gets up there.
<Seraphna> * Angela gets out, as does Tabetha, walking with him.
<DeathStar> *a maid opens and leads them inside*
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na follows
* ChadWinters taps something on his datapad briefly and he follows inside as he studies.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus thanks the maid, making idle chitchat as he moves in. Glancing around at the decoration.
<DeathStar> *The find an old grizzled man - one you would not expect to be a cook. He has guns all over the wall and eyes them. Also on the wall is Best Customers of the Year*
* ChadWinters glances over at the wall of best customers, studying and memorizing it
<DeathStar> <Man> ... whatdya want? *he smacks some gun, petting a giant spiked cat - the type Kitty has*
<DeathStar> *Chad would see Lev is on there for a year ago*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hello sir. We're investigating some potential terrorists, who may frequent your restuarants often. 6* He pulls up photos of Sunny and Lev.
<Seraphna> * Angela peers around, "Nice kitty you have there."
* ChadWinters finishes memorizing the wall and looks over at Marcus and the man
<DeathStar> *Man eyes them, peering* I recognize the one. Don't know the girl
<DeathStar> *he leans back, then at Angela* Yes. She can rip your throat out
<DeathStar> *the cat mrrrrrs*
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Which one?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Would you know any more information about him besides his face? Or know someone you could point us too that would know more?
<DeathStar> *the man studies them, as if sizing them up*
<Seraphna> * Angela smiles softly.
<DeathStar> <Man> He likes my burger. *He laughs hard, as if that is the funniest thing ever, until the laughing makes him spittle a bit*
<Seraphna> * Tabetha peers at him, listening to surface thoughts.
<ChadWinters> Apparently if he made it on your wall. 6He notes
<DeathStar> *Tabetha would sense something about the burger, but not what*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Best Customer of the year?
<Seraphna> * Tabetha muses. "Is there something special about your burger?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> How much does someone need to spend to become that?
<DeathStar> <Man> If you buy a certain amount and become a member, you get that. *he waves at the maid* find this Lev's membership*
<Seraphna> * Tabetha keeps listening.
<DeathStar> *Tabetha would likely need to use an ability to get more out of him, as he just grins at her* You are right about that
<DeathStar> *The maid returns with a computer chip, and inserts it into the computer, going through the list*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus scratches his chin and stands up to move over to the customers of the year wall, glancing through them all. He slowly pulls up his datapad to snap a picture of them before turning to look at the list.
<ChadWinters> You talk to these members often?
<DeathStar> <Maid> Lets see.... Mister Dour seems to be his name
<DeathStar> <Man> Why would I do that. Do I look like mister chatty?
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Any address listed?
<DeathStar> *the maid prints up the address he gave*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> He's definitely dour. What's his first name?
<DeathStar> <Maid> Here.
<ChadWinters> Clearly not.
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na takes it and smiles at the maid, winking a bit
<DeathStar> <Maid> Rainy Dour
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shakes his head slightly.
<Seraphna> * Tabetha burns an ability point and delves more into it. "What makes your burgers so special? People seem to love them of late."
<DeathStar> *Cherry pushes a statue over and it falls over with a loud clang. Zephyr eyes her*
<DeathStar> *Tabetha faces a OG*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well, we can check out that addres-6* He pauses and slowly looks at Cherry.
* ChadWinters glances over at Cherry
<DeathStar> Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Left, Down, Up, Right, LEft, Down, Up, Right, Left, Down
<DeathStar> 5

<Seraphna> durldrudlr
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> *Tabetha only gets something about the sauce has something added*
<Seraphna> * Tabetha tilts her head. "It just makes me curious, I may have to try them."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We'll, uh. We'll be out of your hair, unless someone has any other questions?
<ChadWinters> I think I'm good.
<DeathStar> *Cherry lokos sheepish and tries to fix it*
<DeathStar> *The man looks annoyed*
<DeathStar> <Man> Please. Do.
<Seraphna> Angela> "WEll, thank you for your time sir."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Thank you for your time, and thank you for your service. 6* He salutes and then motions for everyone else to get out, squinting at Cherry as he moves to step out.
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na walks out, smiling at Cherry
* ChadWinters moves out after everyone
<Seraphna> * Tabetha moves to go. Angela takes one last look around, seemingly admiring the guns, then moves to go.
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Sorry
<DeathStar> <Cherry> I just leaned against
<DeathStar> *Zephyr heads for the armored van*
* ChadWinters moves to the van, holding the door open for Zephyr and the others.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> They'll probably send us a bill, but hopefully not. 6* He gets into van and starts it up.
<DeathStar> *Cherry and Zephyr hop in*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Okay. *C* Adeline, any luck witht he burger guy?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yeah I got a facial thing if you want to turn your face into his, as well.
<Seraphna> Angela> "I can probably handle it." *She sighs and smiles, getting in, Tabetha gets in and projects to the team* <We must stop at the closest Big Belly Burger and get one of his burgers with the special sauce.>
<DeathStar> <Adeline> But I have his face on record now
* ChadWinters steps inside the van, shutting the door. 1"Theory. I think the burger joints are where they get their missions from."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> <He is putting something in the sauce.>
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sends Adeline the picture of the customers of the year.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> On the off chance Chad's theory is right, could you see if any of them besides Lev have records?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I will work my way through them
<ChadWinters> That was my plan when we got back, Marcus. Run the others, see if any show up with backgrounds or records.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We're gonna go get some burgers and ask around. Otherwise we'll be back in a bit. 6* He drives them out and towards the closest burger joint.
<DeathStar> *they find a standard burger joint, with a teenager who looks bored with life*
<DeathStar> <Teenager> Welcome to Good Burger. How may I take your order?
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "A Dozen."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Also while you're making them, you ever seen either of these people? 6* He shows the pictures of Lev and Sunny.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "And fries, with sauce on the side to dip."
<DeathStar> <Teenger> *rings it up and hands it* Yeah. He likes the special burger and sauce
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Those."
<Seraphna> * Tabetha nods.
<DeathStar> *he hands Marcus a 67 bill and motions him to pull up*
<DeathStar> *after they get the burgers, Cherry eyes the sauce* I think I will pass
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus sniffs it, any strange smells that the werewolf would get?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Tabetha you owe me like a 100 bucks.
<DeathStar> *Marcus would sense that this sauce is so good, that one must eat it. Eeeeeat*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shrugs to himself and takes a bite.
* Orthogon has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
<Seraphna> * Tabetha sighs and takes the rest from him. "I need to analyze these."
* Orthogon has joined #TAW-Session306
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Tastes like a normal burger to me. Bitching sauce though.
<DeathStar> *Marcus now requires a Special Good Burger once a week. The sauce is gooood*
<Seraphna> * Tabetha muses and does an initial scan while making up samples for analyze.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "I suspect it's laced with something addictive."
<ChadWinters> Probably. 6He glances down at his datapad.
<DeathStar> *Tabetha would see that the sauce has been carefully designed with various chemicals to not be illegally addicted but just borederline. It is the perfect burger sauce that one will always think of it*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah, sugar. It's like a mix between BBQ and Honey Mustard.
<DeathStar> *Good Burger Sauuuuuce*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "He's very clever. This doesn't legally qualify as a drug, but it very well could be."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well. I guess we can keep a scope out on the burger joints here and come give chase to Lev when he's spotted.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You think he can't resist the Burger?
<ChadWinters> We have his address we can check out.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm going to get another one on the way home, so....
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sigh. If he is brought down by a burger.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus eyes Chad, then pull up the address on his datapad to see what it is, assumiung it's bogus.
<DeathStar> *apparantly, if it is accurate and Lev lives there, it is an old person's home*
<DeathStar> *retirement home that is*
<Seraphna> * Angela plays with Cherry's hair. "My daughter for a few hours and you're already falling for the bad boy with a drug... err.. sauce problem."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shows the address to Chad.
<DeathStar> <Cherry> We all have our addictions
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Mine is resisting turning into a blood thirsty monster that eats you all
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We can go check it out, but let's head back to base for now and get our ducks in a row.
<Seraphna> Angela> "And mine is blondes."
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Oh I know
* ChadWinters glances at it. 1"Long shot."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, lets do both either way. Scoping and the address
<DeathStar> -END for Now-
* Xanatos has left #TAW-Session306
