<DeathStar> *hands a hammer and points at the item - Chad*
* ChadWinters leans to DS. 1"I don't think they want to hurt me.
<DeathStar> Fine. You all have ....
<DeathStar> 13 more mins to touch or hug Chad then
<DeathStar> If you don't want to smash him for #3
<Xanatos> I'm not voting because I'm only partially here.
<DeathStar> Well if you want you can still smash him
<DeathStar> I'll keep the counter at 2
* ChadWinters wiggles his eyebrows suggestively
* Stretch`cell has joined #TAW-Session327
<Gabby> Yes... Smash... him.
<Xanatos> Smash is slang for sex now, you realize?
<Gabby> Yes.
* ChadWinters thrusts his crotch towards Xan
<DeathStar> What is with you kids and your slang
<Xanatos> Of course YOU do.
<DeathStar> *refuses to take a vote from Stretch for #3 since he is Mondays*

<DeathStar> I think I remember enough not to leave out details

<DeathStar> Date: 10-639.4.1
<DeathStar> Location: Safehouse
<DeathStar> 6* After arriving at the safehouse, a few of their number has departed, like Reikana and a few others, while Lemon gets the Masked figure that looks a bit like Dias into a force field makeshift holding cell, just to be safe
<DeathStar> 6* X is rested in a make shift medical room that has room for 3 people, and Adeline is in an area with computers set up, working on scanning the blood they took
<Gabby> * Angela peers over the data quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans back, while they wait for the Mask to wake up.
* ChadWinters steps in from outside, having been out there for a short bit. He moves over to Adeline and Angela, peering over Adeline's shoulder
<DeathStar> 6* Warren has his arms crossed, while Cherry seems to be pacing, a little bored and cooped up.
<Sara> * Chris is napping in a chair
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na puts a book on Chris' head to balance it
<Sara> * Chris does not notice
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You guys know I just began really. Give me a little time at least. I am comparing it to the blood of the President and blood samples that Dias gave in the past, as well as looking for anything funny in this blood sample
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus rubs the side of his face, stiffling back a yawn before glancing around at everyone. Kane is also in the computer area, helping Adeline where he may but mostly doing what he can to ensure that the group was not followed in any way.
<Gabby> * Angela peers over at Cherry a moment, blinking to look back at Ada. "Oh, yeah." *she moves over to Cherry and hugs her from behind when she paces away*
<DeathStar> *Lemon checks to see if anyone at the base has noticed that a lot of their team is missing yet, having left Darien and a few others behind*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole is one of the ones left behind, totally playing it cool.
<ChadWinters> I'm aware. 6He notes to her before he rests his hands behind his head.
<Gabby> * Tabetha stayed behind with Darien. Since she'd be likely to notice suspicion on the rise.
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Ah?!? *she pauses*
<Gabby> Angela> "Hello dear."
<DeathStar> *Kaleb is sleeping standing up, somehow, in an area between medical and the cells*
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Hello, "mom". *she has a dark tendril lift Angela up, going back to pacing*
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na puts another book on Chris' head
<Sara> * Chris snorts
<DeathStar> *the tendril offering Angela to balance on Chris' head*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> So Macus
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Do you think this is Dias?
<Gabby> * Angela huffs. "Help me look over some footage."
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Are you talking about computer stuff? *she makes a face* You know I am not your Cheryl. The only thing I know about computers is how to smash them
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na pushes the tendril away, putting an apple on the books
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It feels like him. But I don't know.
<Gabby> Angela> "Nope, like we did with Marcus. I've got footage of Dias from years ago and footage as President I want to compare and see if there are flaws in his behavior."
<DeathStar> *Adeline brushes a hand through her hair that is going more white than blonde* I thought we already did that
<Sara> * Chris tilts her head, and everything slowly slides off. When it hits the floor, she is startled awake for a moment
* ChadWinters glances over at Cherry. 1"Becareful, Cherry. I think that's what the kids call movies and chill."
<Gabby> Angela> "Mmm, with this possibility I think it important to narrow down when precisely his behavior shifted."
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Aw, I was hoping for at least one more thing
<DeathStar> *Adeline shrugs* If she wishes to do what X and Marcus already did that is alright. It will keep them busy
<DeathStar> *Cherry lets Angela go* Fine
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Not like I know the bugger though
<DeathStar> *Lemon muses on Marcus' words*
<Gabby> * Angela smiles. "That makes you an unbiased watcher. You'll notice things that the rest of us take for granted."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Should we try to rip that mask off?
<ChadWinters> 5 credits she tries to seduce her. 6He whispers to Adeline
<Sara> * Chris rubs her cheeks and wakes herself up properly
<DeathStar> <Cherry> I watched it the first time with you all. *she notes* But if you want to dig up even more footage, I can watch that too
<DeathStar> *Cherry walks along*
<Gabby> * Angela nods and moves over to a terminal to call up footage.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> If you want to try. *she lowers the field*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps in and walks over to kneel and peer at the mask, poking at the bottomside of the mask to see if it's glued on or something else.
<DeathStar> *the second Marcus touches the mask, the Mask would wake up*
<DeathStar> *Warren grunts at Chris, as if apologetic, leaning on a cane. He uses it to poke Kaleb, who jerks awake himself*
<ChadWinters> 6As Marcus touches the Mask, a left hand instinctively flies upwards towards his jaw, regardless of the outcome, the force behind it would be familiiar to Marcus, but more inline with the physically stronger Weapons.
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> I think that almost woke Dias up
<Sara> * Chris shrugs lightly and stands up, walking a bit closer to observe.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus takes the punch and steps back a few steps, jaw and fists clenched.
<DeathStar> *Adeline curiously watches the scene, turning a datapad on to scan*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ...
<Gabby> * Angela looks over curiously.
<DeathStar> *Kaleb crouches, letting Marcus deal with it for now, watching the Mask to learn more by observing his movements*
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Sounds like the fun has begun
<Gabby> Angela> "Seems so... let's watch the boys smash."
<ChadWinters> 6Mask kicks off the ground, backing up against the wall, both arms up in a familiar fighting stance, albeit a bit off from fatigue. He looks around at those infront of him and then his surroundings, before he relaxes slightly, his hands still up. 1"You can change the scenery but I know your games now." 6His voice seems off, as if the Mask if changing the way it sounds.
<Gabby> * Angela gets up, then heads over.
* ChadWinters peers over at the others then moves to watch
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...games?
<ChadWinters> <Mask> Yeah...The constant torture....6He holds his fingers up in qoutes. 1"Mental Torture...Like that ever works."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> *crosses her arms, standing near the cell, watching*
<Gabby> Angela> "Sounds dramatic, is it Dias?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I never knew Dias that well
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The cute Dias I knew is long gone. *Dramatic sigh*
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> I knew enough about him to not vote for him. 6*She mutters
<Gabby> Angela> "Think 12 year old in a man's body."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What's something only you and I would know?
<ChadWinters> <Mask> No. 6He stops, his arms tensing
<DeathStar> *Zephyr mumbles about how adorable he was when she taught him stuff, rambling like an old lady. Warren eyes Zephyr slowly*
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Gabby> * Angela sighs and walks over gently bopping Zephyr on the head.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ow. ... T-Thank
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ow. ... T-Thanks
<Gabby> Angela> "You're welcome, sis."
<Sara> * Chris folds her arms as she observes silently.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> No?
<ChadWinters> The Mask looks at Marcus a bit, his arms crossing now as he assumes a thinking stance. 1"Well there was the time you...."6He lists something embarassing as his shoulders start shrugging
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What about the time you thought it was really cool to wear a poncho when you fought because "THEY CAN'T SEE YOUR FISTS".
<Sara> <Chris> If you offer something real, of course he'll "remember". *she notes dryly*
<ChadWinters> <Mask> Ponchos are cool. And not only because they hide the fists but also because they're fashionable
<Gabby> Angela> "..."
<DeathStar> <Cherry> .... what are we seeing here?
<Gabby> * Angela moves to put something together. "I have one idea..."
<ChadWinters> A headache
<Gabby> * Angela moves over and shows Dias a piture of a man wearing a bright pink Gi. "What do you think about this?"
<DeathStar> *Warren deadpans* Angela, what?
<Gabby> * Angela holds up a finger.
<ChadWinters> 6The Mask instinctively backs away from Angela as she get's closer, his hands flinging up again in a defensive stance albeit the same exhausted one. 1"It's hideous."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...
<Gabby> * Angela scrunches her face twice over, blinking, shrugging and stepping away. "...Okay I've got nothing."
<Gabby> * Angela moves back and leans near Warren. "Last I checked Dias is colorblind. He wore that exact Gi to a tournament we attended once." *she says low*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ... *she turns to Marcus*
<ChadWinters> <Mask> There's no way those shoulders would be easy to fight in.
<DeathStar> *Lemon then turns to Angela* So it's not Dias?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shakes his head slightly to lemon and moves to step out reactivating the force field.
<Gabby> ANgela> "Well... his cringing from me was confusing too, last time I interacted with him he barely cared about me."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well, you could ask him what about you two's darkest moment
<DeathStar> <Warren> *he speaks up*
<Gabby> * ANgela goes pale.
<Gabby> Angela> "...Damn you, but fine."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Low blow
<ChadWinters> He's been in a cell for how long, he's in a new place. I'm sure he'd recoil from anyone that approached him right now.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *she pulls Angela close*
<DeathStar> <Warren> I have no idea what it is
<Gabby> * Angela pauses when she does and huffs a bit. "Errr..."
<Gabby> * Angela leans in and whispers to Warren.
<DeathStar> <WArren> But it seems to bother Angela a lot and be a cause that even Marcus knows, am I right?
<DeathStar> *Warren leans on his cane*
<Gabby> * Angela nods. "Yeah... though it's the old me. I have the memory and everyone else seems to as well."
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> I dont!
<Gabby> Angela> "You don't wanna probe that particular one dear."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hm.
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Nope! 6*She says happily
<Gabby> Angela> "I guess... I should ask him?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It's not him, so you'll be wasting your time.
<Gabby> Angela> "Hmm..."
<Gabby> * Angela takes a breath and moves over, peering through the cage.
<ChadWinters> 6Mask seems to be rubbing his wrists now, the locks gone as he eyes his cell. He moves over to tap on the wall, sizing it up
<ChadWinters> <Mask> I can't wait to get out of here and teach that asshat a lesson he'll never forget.
<Gabby> Angela> "Dias. When we were all working under Katrina, Marcus and I had a kid... what were you doing when that happened?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You know, we haven't even asked him if he IS Dias.
<Gabby> Angela> *doesn't remark, probably having compacted the question on purpose*
<Sara> <Chris> Fine. Are you Dias?
<ChadWinters> 6Mask looks over at Marcus now. 1"Stuff? Training things....?" 6He looks over at Chris and shakes his head no as he gives her a thumbs up
<Gabby> Angela> *shakes her head and steps away, frowning*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Well, if he is saying no, who did we bust out
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> He's giving a thumbs up though
<Gabby> Angela> "Conflicting identity response and he got that one utterly wrong..."
<Sara> <Chris> For asking the simple question.
<Sara> * She notes with an inclined head
<DeathStar> <Lemon>That is true
<Gabby> Angela> "Ada, how are those tests coming?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I have some answers on the mask, I have been scanning it
<ChadWinters> 6Masks' gives a growl in annoyance as he rears his fist back and punches the cell wall.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Maybe we can get a psion to poke around in his brain. 6* He notes to the group.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> That will not work. It is why I cannot sense anything from him. I am a psion, remember?
<ChadWinters> 6Mask waves his left hand frantically as he points at Marcus then hangs his head in sadness at Adeline
<Gabby> Angela> "If it was him you wouldn't sense much anyway."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I suppose that is true. But the mask is generating a field. *she points at the screen*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It is doing two things
<Gabby> Angela> "I've tried to touch that mind before. I had to be sent to medical after."
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> That barren, huh?
<ChadWinters> 6Mask clenches his right hand and swings it up at the mask, causing him to stagger around
<DeathStar> <Adeline> One it is dampening powers and at the same time dampening areas of the brain it looks like
<ChadWinters> The opposite. It's a mindfield of disconnection.
<Gabby> Angela> "Broken, confused, Si'Chii took far less damage bonding Gor."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> That's why it doesn't seem like him, then.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Oh no, you are wrong there
<ChadWinters> 6Mask seems to gather himself and he runs head first into the cell wall and stumbles backwards until he falls on to his back
<DeathStar> *Adeline thinks how to put it into words and reaches out* I am not this type of Psion but let me see if I can do this. *she reaches out to Marcus* Try to say your name
<Gabby> * Angela frowns, armor forming after he rams into the shield.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus tries to say his name
<ChadWinters> *Not shield, wall
<DeathStar> *Kaleb watches the Mask bouce off the wall, it having a force field like enforcement too*
<DeathStar> *Marcus would find himself unable too and it leavin him disoriented*
<ChadWinters> *Fair enough, same result!*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus blinks and shakes his head
<DeathStar> *Adeline lowers her hand, and seems weak, since it's not her speciality*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I think the mask refuses to let him say anything regarding his identity. But he should be able to talk about anything else
<Gabby> Angela> "So the mask prevents him from directly identifying himself."
<ChadWinters> It would appear that way.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> As long as he can skirt it.
<Gabby> Angela> "How about talking about people close to him? I'll assume he's too thickheaded to remember what he did to me. For now."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> But I might be wrong. The mask might can do more. This is preliminary scans from him talking
<ChadWinters> 6Mask looks over from the floor as he pushes himself up to sit cross legged. 1"So that's why it makes my strategery reserve box tingle."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The second thing is the blood work. Which is a bit more confusing
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Would this work? 6* He holds up a datapad that says 'Are you Dias'
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Shake your head yes or no.
<Gabby> Angela> "...Is he experiencing Schizophasia?"
<DeathStar> *Adeline brings up Dias' blood in the past, the President's current blood, which is pretty much an exact match - assuming it's not doctored* <Adeline> Probably not
<DeathStar> <Adeline> And finally his blood
<DeathStar> *brings up the blood from Mask - which looks a bit off, close to Dias' but there are things that look elevated in areas and seem to be coming back with errors in others*
<ChadWinters> It's possible that mask could be effecting his blood work too.
<Gabby> * Angela blinks. "...When do we think he got switched?"
<Gabby> Angela> "Because the President's blood from today should NOT actually match the old Dias."
<ChadWinters> Depends on how old the blood sample was.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well, it's not like the President gets his blood done all the time. This was from his last physical
<Gabby> Angela> "The Dragoon-Weapon incident. He was effected more than anyone."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Around 3 or 4 months ago. The old Dias blood sample I am using is around a year ago
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Before he started to get strange
<Gabby> * Angela bites her lip and hrms.
<Gabby> Angela> "Damn I wish we had an equivalent of me for Weapons."
<ChadWinters> 6Mask looks over at Marcus, eyeing the datapad. He takes a deep breath and starts to say N then punches his mask with an odd fist, his thumb up
<DeathStar> *Kaleb seems to be listening to all this* I could ask him questions about our time in space I guess
<ChadWinters> 6Mask points over at Kaleb, bouncing a bit....He pauses. 1"Where's X?"
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Why don't we... say...kill both Diases to be safe? <Lemon> Because one is President?
<ChadWinters> And that would be murder? Plus I imagine you'd have to get past Kaleb and X to do that."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I think our primary mission should be to remove the mask.
<Gabby> Angela> "Hrm... is X up yet?"
<DeathStar> *Kaleb thumbs in medical* She over did herself getting you here
<ChadWinters> <Mask> I have to pee....6He states bluntly, looking over at Marcus
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Fuck you.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The mask looks to be attached by some strange technology we do not know yet.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ... I suppose when we made the cell we should have made a bathroom
<DeathStar> *she notes*
<Gabby> Angela> "I'm starting to agree it's him... the asshole."
<ChadWinters> 6Mask would, if you could see his eyes clearly seems to be locked on to Marcus as he slowly starts to lower his shorts
<Sara> <Chris> Guess we can get him some sort of piss bucket, boss.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> M-Marcus, take him to the bathroom
<DeathStar> *she covers her eyes*
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na puts up a hand
<Xanatos> <Marcus> No.
<Sara> * Chris eyes them
<Sara> <Chris> Terrible idea. Just bring him something to pee in.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> He heard X's location and suddenly has to go? No. Get him a bucket, Chris is right.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Fine. Chris, bring him a bucket
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> You do it, Chris.
<Sara> * Chris looks at him, half-apologetic.
<Sara> * Chris goes and gets a bucket, then brings it
<Gabby> Angela> "Really Dias? The piss escape method?"
<DeathStar> <Kaleb> Hey
<DeathStar> <Kaleb> Do you know how many times that worked for us
<DeathStar> <Kaleb> One time he pissed in an enemy's eyes
<ChadWinters> <Mask> It's a viable strategy. 6He points at Kaleb
<Gabby> Angela> "We're not inept guards."
<DeathStar> *Lemon has fled to Kane to hide*
<ChadWinters> 6Mask looks at Kaleb and makes an eh noise
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I refuse to hear that*
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> <...Earthlings are disgusting. No Gitari would ever do that.>
<Sara> * Chris carefully puts the bucket through
<DeathStar> *Adeline, however, seems fascinated*
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... *grunts* How did he ever get on this team
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Didn't YOU hire him?
<DeathStar> <Warren> No. Zephyr did
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> .... He was such a sweet kid back in the day
<DeathStar> *she notes*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> But you hired her, so you're still responsible.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias looks down at the bucket and whips his willy out and starts peeing, not breaking 'eye' contact with Marcus
<Gabby> Angela> "To be fair we more or less salvaged him."
<DeathStar> <Warren> .... *he loads his gun slowly, raising it to his head*
<Gabby> Angela> "And it was Chad's DNA that opened the door."
<ChadWinters> <Mask> If anything, the person you're talking about saved you all...Constantly."
<Xanatos> (You did it as Dias. Ha. Mystery solved)
<ChadWinters> Think of it as diving punishment for all of you.
<Sara> * Chris quietly turns on the safety on Warren's gun
<ChadWinters> *Or I fooled you all, mwuahahaha*
<Gabby> Angela> "Can I kick him in the crotch to see if it's him? I need about a dozen goes."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> OH god. I can't believe I'm saying this....but it's him.
<Gabby> Angela> "I regret trying my question, because it just made it worse."
<ChadWinters> 6Mask continues peeing, slowly filling up the bucket
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus reaches over and deactivates the field.
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> I too would like to kick him in the dick.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Are you sure about this?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Take that shit and get rid of it. Chris, watch him if you don't mind.
<Gabby> * ANgela takes a breath. "If he goes apeshit I want first go."
<Sara> <Chris> Sure. *she adjusts her gun*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Unless it's a double fake out that's him, I sadly know about a birthmark right above the base of his dick.
<Sara> <Chris> I don't got the same attachment you guys do, anyhow.
<ChadWinters> 6Mask finishes peeing, and pulls up his boxer shorts as he waits for them to open the cell door
<Gabby> Angela> "THAT'S why he tried the poss trick?"
<Xanatos> (It's already open)
<ChadWinters> *wasn't sure if it was a field or like bars with a field around it*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hm... *she watches all this, dubious*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Lalala not looking
<DeathStar> *Warren gets rid of the bucket, debating throwing it in the Mask's face*
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> I would like to say that Earthlings are gross.
<Gabby> Angela> "He put it away dear."
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Throwing it out there.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *she whispers something to Kane and Angela*
<Sara> * Chris trains her high-caliber revolver on Dias, not aiming it at him but just slightly down, per her training
<Gabby> * Angela blinks and listens.
<Sara> * Or rather, on totally-not-Dias
<ChadWinters> <Mask> So how do I know you are who you and aren't not who I think you really are?
<ChadWinters> *Who you are*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Adeline and nods once, not sure himself.
<Sara> <Chris> Nothing personal, in my case. Don't care if you know who I am, I'm just doing my job.
<Sara> * She notes
<Gabby> * Angela rolls her eyes harder. "I could kick you in the crotch if it helps?"
<DeathStar> *Adeline whispers something else to Angela and Kane*
<ChadWinters> <Mark> You look like a crazy person. 1"You could try, but even exhausted I can beat you all"
<Sara> <Chris> Boss, does she usually want to kick people in the crotch? Is this just normal?
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Oh it's a special exception for Dias, Chris
<Xanatos> (OH, Hi Mark)
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I think those two have a hate-hate relationship
<DeathStar> *suddenly, Mask gets punched as a ripple opens up behind him*
<Gabby> Angela> "Oh, X is up."
<Sara> * Chris raises her gun. "Shit!"
<Gabby> * Angela says casually.
<Sara> * Not realizing it's X
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Oh good.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Dias you're an idio- 6* He sighs.
<DeathStar> <X> Why do you have that stupid mask on?! *she stands there, in a hospital gown, half naked* Why are you pissing everywhere?! And why are you being stupidier than normal*
<ChadWinters> 6Mask is hit hard, causing him to stumble a bit and then falls over
<Sara> * Chris slightly lowers her gun, again
<DeathStar> *X looks dizzy using her power again so soon, leaning on an IV stand*
<DeathStar> <Kaleb> ... mom. *he moves off, seeing where this is going*
<Gabby> Angela> "Technically he's being as stupid as he normally is, the fake is being less stupid to the point we forgot how stupid he can be."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> X, apparently the thing is stuck to his head and makes him...stupid...er.
<ChadWinters> 6Mask shakes his head as he pushes himself up, standing in his boxer shorts. 1"If I knew how to take this mask off, I would've!
<Gabby> Angela> "Dias, try to power yourself."
<DeathStar> <X> ... Tch. And quit flashing people. You look absurb.
<DeathStar> *she rolls into the main area with her stand and sits*
<DeathStar> *Absurd
<Gabby> Angela> "Or bring out Darkheart."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus hms
<DeathStar> *Zephyr leans forward a bit and Warren taps his cane*
<ChadWinters> 6Mask looks down then shrugs then looks at Angela and raises his left hand and points at his arm. 1"Pretty tapped out right now. Around the clock torture takes a lot out of a person."
<Gabby> Angela> "Do it."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> DO it or back in the cage.
<ChadWinters> 6Mark throws his arms up in defeat. 1"And I'm the stupid one." 6He bounces on the ball of his feet as he claps his arms together.
<Gabby> * Angela watches curiously.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Watch him run away
<ChadWinters> 6Mask slides in to a familiar stance, albeit off a bit, one that Kaleb and Marcus would probably notice. He twists to run then stops, letting out a sigh at Warren and he kneels down, poking at the floor
<Xanatos> 6* Two of Kane's drones rise up near Warren as he says that. To track Dias if he does try to run.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> If it is Dias, we need to figure out what to do with him. I suppose I could put makeup on the mask and give him a hoodie and other stuff
<DeathStar> <Cherry> ... you just want to do a make up
<DeathStar> *over
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Alright, assuming you are too weak to do anything. We'll give you a few days to get your power
<Gabby> Angela> "The mask may have tracking components. We could try to EMP it and take it off that way."
<DeathStar> *she moves over and places a bracelet onto Masks' wrist*
<ChadWinters> <Mask> I wasn't lieing about being tapped out. It took every ounce of my strength to make it as long as I have. 6He looks over at Lemon, then down at the bracelet
<DeathStar> <Lemon> If you get too far from one of us, this bracelet will stun you and knock you off your feet
<ChadWinters> <Mask> How far is that?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> *she muses* How far should I set it, Kane?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> You made it
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> 12 feet.
<Xanatos> <Kane> 15 feet.
<ChadWinters> 6Mask hops up and makes a dash for Adeline, grabbing her and moving to run away
<DeathStar> *Mask falls over, stunned*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Oops, it was at 5 feet
<Gabby> * Angela, standing by Adeline, shifts in the way and punches out with a gauntleted fist. Or is going to when he falls over.
<ChadWinters> 6Mask hits the ground. 1"Owww....."
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> ...Dear, I believe you can do what you've been wanting to do.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You ran at the little girl? Back in the fucking cage.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> W-Why did he come at me?! *she grabs her staff* I will turn you into a FROG
<ChadWinters> <Mask> Guess I get to spend a lot of time with one of you...Real closely."
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Oh my, my eyes, I seem to have gone temporarially blind and cannot see anything my wife may be doing.
<Gabby> Angela> "Why the hell are you trying to run if you're Dias?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Chris, put him in the cage it seems
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shakes his head, looking very annoyed.
<Sara> <Chris> He never claimed to be Dias. *she notes as she follows the order*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Oh well. I was going to let him stick with Marcus, his buddy
<Gabby> * Angela gets a kick in.
<ChadWinters> 6Mask rolls on to his back and stares aup at the cieling. 1"I've been planning my escape for awhile...Ow...."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *blinks at Angela* Letting out some aggression there?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus points to Angela.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Don't do that again.
<ChadWinters> <Mask> Instincts. Hard to ignore them at times.
<DeathStar> *Zephyr sighs* He was such a sweet boy once
<Gabby> Angela> "If it's him, he deserved it. If it's not him, he deserved it."
<ChadWinters> <Mask> You have a lot of anger built up, you should learn to let it go. 6He notes to Angela
<Gabby> Angela> "I was nice and didn't go for the balls."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus grabs Mask by the collar and throws him into the cage.
<Sara> <Chris> Thanks for the assist. *she notes as she turns it back on*
<Gabby> * Angela DOES have a lot of anger, that flares when he says that, for some to feel. But she lets it go again.
<ChadWinters> <Mask> Good thing you kick like a girl. 6He slides in to the cage, laying there.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods to Chris, patting her on the shoulder since she's being helpful.
<Gabby> Angela> "Wearing metal boots."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Angela, take a walk.
<Gabby> * Angela takes a breath, giving him a look, but walking away for a bit.
<ChadWinters> Well this is quite the confusing mess. 6He rubs his face abit
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na follows her, her temporary blindness miracuously cured
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... *watches after Angela* Not sure if she did that for me or revenge. Hm
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You keep doing shit to make us doubt who you are. But you obviously don't trust us either. So we'll work on that.
<ChadWinters> Here's a slight hiccup in you wanting him to regain his powers, Marcus. It's possible that mask is also suppressing his abilities.
<DeathStar> *X kneels by the cage, studying him*
<DeathStar> <X> ... hm
<Xanatos> <Marcus> She said the Mask was. But he can still use them to a degree, just not as strong.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> It may be it is why I wanted to wait a week
<DeathStar> <Lemon> To see if anything came back
<Xanatos> <Kane> Little of both, darling. 6* He says to Adeline.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I need to keep my staff on me more often clearly
<DeathStar> *Adeline puts it on her lap*
<ChadWinters> Well hopefully it's more of a tap and not a complete block.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I would have stopped him. 6* He says with a firm nod, then goes back to typing on something.
<Gabby> * Angela takes a breath, peering out and grumbling a bit. A lot of conflicted feelings there.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> *she pats the cage* We will leave someone here to watch over you and check back in a week. Do you need anything, Mr. Dias?
<DeathStar> <X> I will stay. *she winces, rising*
* ChadWinters glances at Adeline. 1"His strategy wasn't off. If he's as weak as he claims, he had the best chance with you."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You need rest. I'll watch him.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Maybe. I am useless in a fight, it is why I keep this staff
<DeathStar> <X> Alright. <Lemon> For now, we will all head back to the base. Lets go back
<ChadWinters> <Mask> Your occupant would like comics and pizza. Oh and...6He starts listing random foods, none of Dias' favorites but food
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Understood
<ChadWinters> <Mask> Oh and heavy thing to do stuff with.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *moves over* It may be a good idea to visit the President and see if we can learn more about him at some point.
<DeathStar> <Warren> While we wait to see what this Masked Dias does
<ChadWinters> It would be a good idea. We can judge his mood and how he's acting after he lost his prisoner.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> *nods*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* The team arrives the next morning back at their base. X heads to her area to rest while Adeline heads to the housing, leaving them*
<DeathStar> *Lemon checks to see they have gotten a few missions lined up in the future to look into*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Seems the world is still turning
<Gabby> * Angela yawns and takes a seat, fixing her uniform.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Of course. You expected otherwise?
<Gabby> Tabetha> "The base did not burn down either." *she says, stepping in with the day's reports*
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na adjusts Angela's collar so it's correct, then sits next to her
<ChadWinters> Based on our luck, yes. 6He notes to Kane
<DeathStar> *Lemon eyes the missions* Well we'll handle these tomorrow
<DeathStar> <Lemon> For now you all get some sleep and we'll start up in the afternoon.
<Sara> * Chris salutes
<DeathStar> *Lemon heads to get some rest. Ren hops out and leans in toward the team*
<DeathStar> <Ren> What did I miss?!
<DeathStar> <Ren> Me and Reikana have been preparing for a concert
<Xanatos> <Kane> Nothing, nothing. 6* he says, moving to check his console.
<Gabby> Angela> "Low blows. How's the concert coming?"
* ChadWinters glances down at Ren. 1"Not much at all."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Pretty good. It'll be on the PAX again.
<ChadWinters> Kane, some of that data I promised you. 6He holds out a data chip to him
<DeathStar> <Ren> By the way, that Cran guy left Marcus some stuff
<DeathStar> *She sets it on the front counter*
<Gabby> Angela> "I heard there's a few concerts going on up there... hmm? Alexander did?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kane peers up and take the chip and nods.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Mmhm. Said it was for him only or something. *the data chip is there though for any to activate it*
<Gabby> * Angela frowns a bit... "It would stll be more polite to just ask him what he's up to. Did he deliver it or someone else?"
* ChadWinters glances at Ren and the datachip. 1"Hes checking in on something."
<DeathStar> *Wyrd walks by, talking to Katherine and Zeraphna about the merits of gothic lolita outfits. Katherine looks completely lost on the conversation*
<Gabby> * Truth, naturally following, seems very passionate about how it works for Wyrd.
<DeathStar> <Ren> He did. Seemed surprise Marcus was not here to get it. So where is he to hand it over?
<Gabby> Angela> "Out, I'll let him know."
<DeathStar> *Ren nods and skips off*
<Xanatos> <Kane> I could exchange with him. 6* He notes to Angela.
<Gabby> * Angela nods. "That'll work. I was gonna ask Cherry to tell him."
<Gabby> * Angela frowns a bit, musing on something.
<Xanatos> <Kane> But I'm curious what he's doing with Alexander.
<ChadWinters> We could just access the datachip to find out.
<Gabby> Angela> "Not sure, though Angelos is working with Alexander too lately."
<Xanatos> <Kane> But it is not right thing to do.
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na huffs at the mention of Angelos
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Mother stealing... 6*Mumble mumble
<DeathStar> <Cherry> *leans in and grabs the datachip*
<ChadWinters> Then I can do it.
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Maybe on it is his professed love for me
<DeathStar> *Cherry runs off with it*
<ChadWinters> Alexanders?
<DeathStar> <Cherry> MARCUS YOU IDIOT
<Gabby> * Angela blinks then goes pale.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane slowly glances in the direction she ran.
<Gabby> Angela> "I just realized if Cherry ever wins Marcus, I'll end up related to him."
<DeathStar> *Cherry seems to be being playful so far, actually just holding onto it for Marcus lest one of them activate it*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Is this karma?
<DeathStar> *she muses*
<ChadWinters> You two could be eskimo sisters. 6He notes, his demeanor having changed back to how he's been acting since they started working openly again
<Gabby> * Angela blinks. "Eskimo what?"
<DeathStar> <Katherine> Hey. Hey, Chris
<Xanatos> <Kane> When are you going to stop pretending to be nice? 6* He looks to Chad now.
<DeathStar> <Kathrine> You might want to see this
<DeathStar> *Katherine turns up the holovid*
<Sara> <Chris> Eh?
<Sara> * She looks
<Xanatos> 6* Kane glances over, since his name IS Chris too.
<DeathStar> *It's news from a Cartel world, the same world that the Aquarius is at now*
<Gabby> * Angela peers over.
<DeathStar> *It shows a few buildings having been destroyed, with news talking about a magical beam of light taking down 100 story buildings*
<Sara> <Chris> Well, that's ominous...
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Well that doesn't usually happen. Usually.
<ChadWinters> Nothing. 6He waves his hand dismissively as he looks over at the holovid, clicking his tongue.
<Gabby> Angela> "Maybe Jarivan scientists trying to mess with Maka stuff."
<DeathStar> *there's also reports of a woman that looks like Chris seen wanted for questioning related to killing some Cartel officals*
<Gabby> Angela> <OUr daughter is there, isn't she?>
<Sara> <Chris> Cobalt.
<ChadWinters> That's not a possiblility. 6He notes off handedly, then glances at the female Chris. 1"Seem's your sister is broadening her play area
<DeathStar> *as well as a teenage girl who is suspected for destroying some of the buildings. Images show her firing a beam of light at a building*
<Sara> <Chris> I don't have a sister. Just business with Cobalt. *she notes frankly; Sunny long dead to her*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Looks like she has a new partner
<Gabby> Angela> "Oh right, Sunny is still on the loose."
<Sara> <Chris> Wai-wait. That IS a Maka. The fuck?
<ChadWinters> Acting? 6He looks at Kane. 1"Don't know what you're talking about.
<ChadWinters> Apparently she found a new way to trick them to do her bidding.
<Sara> <Chris> The Cobalt have Magical Girls now!?
<ChadWinters> They're naive. Tell them it's evil and they'll probably believe you
<Xanatos> 6* Kane gives Chad a look and lets Lemon know what they've seen on the news, wondering if they'll be able to help investigate.
<DeathStar> *another image shows the supposed maka turning, though this one seems to be smiling almost childishly evil with her destruction, a creature on her shoulder, and her aura looks dark*
<DeathStar> *the reporter talks about if anyone sees either, to let them know*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well, I guess to a maka the Cartel could be considered evil. But still...
* ChadWinters taps his datapad, pausing the holovid and reversing it to that scene. 1"That's off."
<Xanatos> <Kane> They are fairly vile in terms of morality.
<ChadWinters> They work in grey areas. No different then some of us, Kane. 6He notes
<Xanatos> <Kane> You are vile in terms of morality. 6* He says simply.
<Gabby> Angela> Cobalt could be working to make the Maka look bad.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That beam puts my dragoon bustah to shame. I should work to improve it. *She notes* But yeah. That maka looks wrong
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We should ask the two maka working with us about this
<Sara> <Chris> Sounds like a plan.
<DeathStar> *Lemon leans over to call them in*
<ChadWinters> We have two now? 6He has a visible shudder. He then looks at Kane. 1"Aya would beg to differ."
<Xanatos> <Kane> I sincerely doubt it. 6* He turns and moves towards Lemon's conference/office/wherever she is.
<DeathStar> *Katherine watches Kane and Chad, leaning over*
<DeathStar> <Katherine> Are we having in-fighting now?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ... *shrug* I have to stand with my husband. I am team Kane
* ChadWinters glances back at Katherine. 1"No, he just doesn't like me. He's just honest about it."
<Sara> * The team's 16-year-old Maka girls steps in, eyeing the video curiously
<ChadWinters> Even give him a peace offering of technology. 6He shrugs
<Sara> <Girl> These TVs are so weird
<Sara> <Girl> I was summoned? *she looks to Lemon*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> We would like your thoughts on this
<DeathStar> *She brings up the footage of the Maka attack* <Lemon> Is this normal behavior?
<Sara> <Girl> Huh... *she looks at the video* ... ... Oh. Oh dear. That is ... I did not believe that the rumors were true...
<ChadWinters> That's disconcerning. 6He looks at the gorl
<Sara> <Girl> Makai... they really exist.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Rumors?
<Sara> <Girl> There have long been rumors, or legends, of magical girls who became corrupt. Evil. *she pauses, thinking* ...Lost.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Makai? *he mutters about all these terms*
<ChadWinters> And you're sure this is one of them?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> So this is a corrupted magical girl
<Sara> <Girl> Zayne... so you're not even one of us anymore... *she mutters*
<Gabby> * ANgela takes notes.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> How does that happen?
<Xanatos> <Kane> Zayne? Oh you know this one?
<Sara> <Girl> This is a Makai. She's not one of us. Not... anymore. Never again.
<ChadWinters> So there's no redemption for them?
<Sara> <Girl> If what I have always heard is true, she will be dangerous. Very dangerous. There have been stories of entire teams falling to a Makai. Legends.
<ChadWinters> Well, we've faced worse and have survived
<Sara> <Girl> The legends say they can even command demon armies
<Sara> <Girl> Daimons, lots of them...
<Sara> * She seems shaken
<Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns
<DeathStar> *Lemon sighs and falls into her seat* I wonder why she would join the Cobalts then and Sunny specifically
<Sara> <Girl> I do not know...
<ChadWinters> For the right incentive, people will do anythign
<Xanatos> <Kane> Perhaps they have a common goal.
<Sara> <Girl> This dark energy, it is not seen in Maka. We are pure.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, I will send a warning to the Aquarius team. This is out of our juridiction for now. But if Sunny does come back here with that ... Makai. We might be in trouble
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Lev was a push over
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That thing's beams are 3x the size of mine
<Sara> <Girl> ...I am troubled by this as well... I do not know what to advise.
<ChadWinters> Shoot to kill on sight? 6He looks at the Maka girl
<Sara> <Girl> ...Yes. She is lost.
<Sara> * She looks troubled by the graveness of this
<ChadWinters> Too bad there isn't a viable Anti-Maka tech.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> We will handle this as it comes. *Zephyr meanwhile heads off, musing on how to make herself stronger*
<DeathStar> -END for now-
