<DeathStar> Date: 11.1.5997 - 1 day later
<DeathStar> Location: Royals Floor, Hapian Castle
<DeathStar> 6* Celes puts on her best queen gown for the ceremony that is being held at the Alliance; with the satalites finished, Shion is putting forth a new push to find the outlaws and being a leader of the Outlaws, Celes is attending. Erevis has decided to attend as well, putting a beautiful kimono - figuring the Empress might be there, supplying said equipment
<Xanatos> 6* Xan stands by with his hands in his pockets, wearing a fairly simple tuxedo.
<Seraphna> * Jaime attends, wearing a dress of earth tones and fashioned to be fairy like, bringing Gnome along. Alita of course is in a fabulous, Daemon style set of robes.
<kalonZombee> 6*Ceilia is in matching robes, standing next to her twin
<Sara> * Liana naturally is with Celes
<Jackieness> <Lana> *walks out of her lab and looks around at the others* "What is with all the fancy dresses?"
<Seraphna> * Jaime whispers. "Th-The ceremony."
<DeathStar> *Selena is all dressed up, her gown matching Celes'. Selena peers at Xanatos with a bit of an odd look*
<DeathStar> <Selena> What is that outfit?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "... ... ...ceremony?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> This? This is odd here?
<Sara> <Liana> Unless of course you're planning on getting married today
<DeathStar> *Erevis peers at the Royals memebers* Anyone who wants to come can. I do not think it will be long. Shion will likely go over the technology and the Outlaws some. I am mainly going due to a personal desire
<Seraphna> Jaime> On our planet it's very formal attire.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah it's usually worn at weddings or nice dinners. I think this is nice enough to count, correct?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...technology?! Hold on! Selena, I need a dress or something!"
<DeathStar> <Selena> *She muses; men typically wear fancy dress clothes, not tuxedos here*
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek walks by, in his suit, but he always wears a suit.
<Seraphna> Alita> I might have a number or two you could use, Lana.
<Orthogon> *Imogen is wearing a dress of purple with turquoise as a secondary color and a stellation of a nonagon on the back.*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Y-You coming too, Uncle Drasek?
<DeathStar> *suddenly outside the castle there is a loud crash and boom sound*
<DeathStar> *with some sirens as the guards go to deal with it*
<kalonZombee> <Ceilia> What was that?
<Seraphna> * Jaime squeaks and moves to investigate. "S-Sounds bad...?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... *she frowns and moves to the window*
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Eh? Going where? 6* He glances to the sound, and goes in the other direction. Xan moves ot the window with Celes
<Sara> <Liana> Nothing's never simple, is it...
<Jackieness> <Lana> "while they deal withat, translating buying me time, quickie makeover time, Alita. Come on!"
<DeathStar> *Selena smiles at Liana, lifting up her sister*
<kalonZombee> 6*Ceilia moves to follow Lana
<DeathStar> *outside is a damaged Earth ship, being surrounded by palace guards. It's landed practically on Xan's shed*
<kalonZombee> <Ceilia> Huh.
<Seraphna> Jaime> "Dad, I think an angry shuttle has come back for revenge."
<Sara> <Luna> Revenge!
<DeathStar> *Selena beams and feeds Luna treat like she was a pet - hopefully Luna does not grow up to be chubby*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Do you know that shuttle? <Erevis> I do not
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....my fucking yard.
<DeathStar> *the shuttle door flies up into the air and a purple haired woman emerges
<Xanatos> 6* Xan turns promptly and moves outside for the ship.
<Sara> * Luna burps. "Are you fattening me up?" she actually playfully asks.
<Sara> <Liana> That seems... y'know... bad.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hurry, hurry. Get me that outfit."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Maybe. *she cheek rubs her sister and goes out to investigate* <Celes> I guess I should go look into it. Want to come?
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek walks by with Hapain guard armor on, moving outside as well.
<Seraphna> * Jaime moves out to the yard, hiding Gnome behind her.
<DeathStar> *Along with X emerges a woman who looks like Cheryl and a few other people, as well as three children, one who is scowling*
<Seraphna> * Alita goes and comes back with a dress for Lana.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Cheryl...?
<DeathStar> *X eyes the guards and boos at them, making them jerk and aim their energy spears closer*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *grabs the dress and hastily changes*
<kalonZombee> <Ceilia> What's going on now?
<Seraphna> Jaime> "Whoa... it's okay everyone."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl?> Hm. Yes. I'm Cheryl. *she hops down, holding the three children*
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...Hmmm... *she peers at her* Thena's gonna be pissed then.
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....It's okay we know them. 6* He tells the guards as he approaches.
<DeathStar> *X hops down with them*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl?> She... is?
<Sara> * Liana follows after her daughter in investigating, frowning
<Seraphna> Jaime> *nods, but decides not to comment further till the guards are away*
<DeathStar> *Selena studies them as the guards peer at Celes, who waves the guards away*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole peeks his head out of the back since I remembered he said he was going with them.
<Seraphna> Jaime> *after they leave* Since she just pinged Cheryl somewhere out in the Cartel territory.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl?> Ah ha ha. You know me. You never know where I might show up. *she laughs awkwardly.* Listen. *she says to Erevis and Xanatos* This might sound out of the blue but we could use asylum
<Xanatos> <Xan> What's happened?
<DeathStar> *Erevis pauses, peering at at Xanatos, then back* <Cheryl?> *she peers at Celes and Liana warily but since it's their land*
<Sara> * Liana eyes her wife, finding this very strange
<DeathStar> *the white haired girl speaks up* <Adeline> Shapeshifters have taken over Earth and she wants us to be somewhere safe and plans to dump us here and leave
* ChadWinters has joined #TAW-Session349
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You might want to becareful in case once they finish they replace you all
<DeathStar> *Celes blinks at that*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I-Is everyone else safe?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl?> Well that's a blunt way to put it
<DeathStar> <X> Yeah we're hoping to leave the kids here
<DeathStar> <X> We were shot down on the way so we had to take longer to get here
<Sara> <Liana> And you aren't shapeshifters? Because this would be a great way for something like that to evade attention.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Honestly that was refreshing to just have it all out there. Thanks Adeline. 6* He says, somehow knowing her name!
<DeathStar> *X pauses and muses* Hm, good point
<DeathStar> <Celes> I married her for her brains and looks
<DeathStar> *Selena covers Luna's ears*
<Sara> * Luna blinks, confused, oblivious
<Seraphna> * Jaime blushes a bit and looks over at Selena a moment.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek walks up in the Hapian guard armor, leaning forward and squinting, trying to sense dark one.
<Seraphna> Jaime> *frowns and thinks carefully* So... you came here to us. Not the Academy.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Academy is the Alliance now, they're allied with earth who these gits are on the run from.
<DeathStar> *Adeline peers back. Drasek would not be able to do what Noire did - after all Noire is was a Dark One and born from Billy and a Kitsune*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Basically.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> No way for me to tell if they're them shifters or not, but I don't smell dark one on them. Course all I smell right now is the herb I've been...experimenting with.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl?> We can stay here in Erevis and Xan's house with the kids until you trust us
<DeathStar> <Cheryl?> If that helps
<DeathStar> <Adeline> House arrest, joy
<Sara> <Liana> What do you even make of this, Erevis?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am trying to read their minds
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They feel open and honest - though that one. *she points at Adeline* She has shields
<Sara> <Luna> Shields! *she puts her hands on her chest*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *leans on her staff*
<DeathStar> *Selena flusters and hums*
<Xanatos> <Cole> Oooh, ooh does it help if I show that I'm mechanical? 6* He chimes in, still on the lopsided and crashed ship.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Drop the shield and we'll trust you.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl?> Sure go ahead
<Xanatos> <Xan> It's really that easy.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> If I don't will you send me away? <Cheryl?> That's what you want
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks amused since she knows Cheryl is not Cheryl, whispering who it is to Xan*
<Xanatos> 6* Cole opens up a plate under his chest to show some of his inner workings.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmm... hey Gnome?
<DeathStar> <Gnome> Yes? *she looks tired*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan nods, already suspecting.
<Xanatos> <Xan> So she wanted to remain with her father and fight, I assume?
<Seraphna> Jaime> When you tested me you could feel my nature right?
<DeathStar> <Gnome> It is not quite that easy.
<DeathStar> <Gnome> I do not want to explain my testing methods
<Seraphna> Jaime> Darn... *she nods*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Why don't you go rest though... you're looking tired again.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl?> I plan to rejoin him. I just feel that there might be deaths involved soon and I want Adeline, Wade and Jenny to remain. Adeline disagrees
<DeathStar> *Gnome nods and vanishes*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You busted yourself
<DeathStar> *Lemon pauses and sighs*
<DeathStar> <Celes> *she turns to Liana* We are running late. We need to go
<DeathStar> *Celes turns to Erevis* I suppose I will leave this to you all
<Sara> <Liana> Understood
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah we'll take care of it, thank you. 6* He bows his head to Celes.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Would the kids be being watched for? I can see if Aunt Jenny wants to look after them?
<Seraphna> * Jaime looks to Lemon now sure, offering since she knows Jennifer and Lemon used to be close.
<Seraphna> * Not Aunt, bleh.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Probably best to keep anyone Alliance out of this.
<Xanatos> <Xan> It would put them in a tough position with their loyalties.
<DeathStar> *Celes rejoins Imogen and the others*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Everyone ready?
<DeathStar> *Selena nods*
<Seraphna> * Alita nods, having waited.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *adjusts ehr glasses* "Thanks to these two awesome sisters, I am ready to go!"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Blood. Give'em a cut and then analyze the blood to see what's what. 6* He pulls a knife from seemingly no-where.
<DeathStar> *Celes checks the time* We are late. I hope Shion did not notice.*
<kalonZombee> 6*Ceilia nods, going with Alita
<DeathStar> *somewhere Drasek is about to get mommy mode*
<Xanatos> <Xan> It's fine, it's fine. Erevis trusts those that she could read so let's all go inside and not think about the fancy ceremony we're going to miss.
<DeathStar> *as the scene shifts to the Alliance, with those who go, they arrive just as Shion wrapping up her speech. The Empress is indeed in the stands, musing on something as Celes sneaks to the back of the row, not sitting with the other leaders*
<DeathStar> *Selena sneaks to sit beside her*
<Orthogon> <Imogen> (Ready...? Just follow along. There's nothing holding me in one place or another.)
<Seraphna> * Alita strategically and with way too practiced a skill slips in beside Shinobu as if she was there from the start.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *is also present as well, looking suitably regal in her own finery*
<kalonZombee> 6*As does Ceilia
<Jackieness> <Lana> *tries to imitate Alita/Ceilia and nearly misses her seat*
<DeathStar> *Shion pauses and peers to the back seats*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix stands guard off to the side, though his alliance uniform has been cleaned up.
<DeathStar> *eyeing Lana, then the others as they sit. Selena props Luna on her lap to see*
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats in the back, recording/watching everything
<DeathStar> *Cypher sits in the front with her family. Caesune plays with her granddaughters*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *whisper* "Crap... she saw me. I'm goign to die."
<Seraphna> * Jen sits with Athena and Sam.
<DeathStar> <Shion> In conclusion, starting today, the Alliance units will begin to search out the Outlaw element and eliminate them. Any volunteers that would like to aid the Alliance Units may do so as this is a special case since these Outlaws have been harrassing our citizens for months, coming to our planet from other planets for years now and using other worldly technology. That is all. *she steps away and moves to mingle*
<DeathStar> *talking with the Empress and others. Cypher rises and Athena moves to join, since they are part of the Alliance*
<Sara> * Chelsea frowns at the situation
<Xanatos> 6* Simon moves up in a more typical Hapian design for his 'fancy' look, telling Shion how good her speech was and other pleasantries
<DeathStar> *there are tables all over with new equipment for the devices to put on their wrists, as well as each unit's patrol sectors*
<Seraphna> * Jen and Sam move with Athena.
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats over to the tables, tilting slightly as it studies the new equipment
<DeathStar> <Celes> It seems we missed the majority of it. *she turns to the Royals* I did not realize how bad these Outlaws have become
<DeathStar> *Selena creeps over a bit, as if she wants to join a unit as a volunteer, carrying Luna*
<DeathStar> *Bonnie gropes Chelsea* Ready to go, Miiiistress?
<DeathStar> *Athena shows Jen pictures of Thena's purple hair familiar that had left this morning and to anyone who would look. Shion smiles to Simon*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *rises aform her seat and approaches Celes*
<Sara> * Chelsea deadpans at her mistress' antics and pats her. "So be it."
<Sara> * Luna brandishes a wooden sword
<Seraphna> Jen> Hehe, yes I met her love, she ate half our fish stocks.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon, after a moment of small talk moves over to a table to get a device. Bix already has one as he was probably the test subject/guinea pig/totally brave important helper.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Sister, did something happen?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hey, let's go take a closer look." *nudges Alita*
<Seraphna> * Alita nods and moves to get a better look.
<DeathStar> <Celes> We had a situation, that is all. *she smiles*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "A situation?"
<DeathStar> *the device shows a satalite feed of the area. They can adjust the knobs for it to go back*
<DeathStar> *and see further and further back*
<DeathStar> *or to adjust the feed to look at other areas*
<ChadWinters> <Id> These devices are interesting. 6He floats closer to it.
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...fascinating. 6* He mumbles to himself as he steps to the side to fiddle with it.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Cover me." *looks around and tries to get a scan of the devices*
<DeathStar> *Cypher blinks, peering at Chelsea* Neat
<DeathStar> <Celes> Something with Erevis that is all. *She hugs her wife*
<DeathStar> *Selena grabs one and moves to join the others*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Hi
<DeathStar> *Selena zooms the satelite in on Imogen*
<Seraphna> * Jennifer gives Selena a slight eyebrow raise, adjusting her own.
<DeathStar> *Cypher turns to the team* Everyone ready to head out?
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats over to Cypher. 1"Could you have a device shipped to my place so I may have it incorporated in my shell?
<DeathStar> <Celes> Do you plan to join a unit this time, sister? I know we Alliance members are allowed - though I would just get in the way
<Sara> <Chelsea> I only hope the world can one day have peace instead of always being full of people who tear it asunder
<DeathStar> *Cypher shrugs* Sure
<Orthogon> <Imogen> (Didn't anyone teach you it's rude to stare? Keep your eye on me longer and you will find my gaze fixed upon you in your dreams!)
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *glances over* "...sister, I did not realize you had allowed my niece to volunteer to join the Alliance mission teams."
<DeathStar> <Celes> It's up to Liana. They both have the adventure bug
<DeathStar> *Celes shifts the blame like a good parent*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *looks over at Liana*
<Seraphna> * Alita ponders it. "Provisionally I suppose. Shinobu needs our attention too however."
<ChadWinters> <Id> Thank you.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *moves back over* "OK, I got some scans of their tech."
<DeathStar> *Selena has the satalite zoom out*
<Sara> <Liana> Selena isn't a little girl anymore... if I baby her too much, she'll end up unable to take care of herself when we're gone.
<Sara> <Liana> She's got warrior's blood in her veins. It's okay.
<Seraphna> * Jen whispers to Athena. "I'll let Jaime know Selena is joining up, she'll want to follow her I think."
<DeathStar> *Athena merowls and nods*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "She's still younger than I was when the Academy arranged the first mission teams."
<DeathStar> *Celes pats* I am sure you will keep an eye on her
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Naturalist Kingdom
<DeathStar> 6* The Alliance team soon is heading out, warping to the forest in the Naturalist Kingdom. The satellite coverage giving them trouble but it does pick up a lot of people in there
<DeathStar> *Selena hums, while Cypher mumbles about being too old for this. Bonnie eyes the picture of Athena of the purple familiar, wondering how such a familiar was made and musing on it
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *is clad in her armor and carries her sword, personally accompany the mission team*
<Seraphna> * Jennifer stretches. "Something about this place feels good, you know?"
<DeathStar> <Athena> Oh?
<Xanatos> 6* Bix and Simon are there looking around.
<DeathStar> *Bonnie goes into cat form and climbs Chelsea*
<Sara> <Liana> There was a time where this forest was almost destroyed...
<Seraphna> Jennifer> I guess I like this kind of environment.
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats along. 1"How was that avoided?"
<DeathStar> *Cypher takes her coat off, holding it over her shoulder. Having turned had a birthday recently (last month) she muses, trying to act more mature.*
<kalonZombee> <Ceilia> Feels nice.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Yeah, I don't know that story
<DeathStar> *Cypher checks the satellite, zooming out to check the grasslands nearby, then the Naturalist City*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Alright here we go. *she moves into the forest*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon is also looking around to see if they can find who they're looking for.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *looks around* "With the dense tree cover, we will not be able to depend on the satellites. Lots of places for potential ambushes."
<Xanatos> 6* Bix chirps and marches forward.
<ChadWinters> <Id> It's a useful place to hide in.
<DeathStar> *Selena walks in, the forest not as impressive as the Great Forest, but it's nothing to sneeze at. A perfect hideaway between the grasslands*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon glances around, occassionally glancing upward
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Yes... it is no coincidence that the outlaws would pick this place."
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena just wonders if this is just one of many outlaw bands hiding from various alien governments
<Sara> <Chelsea> Hmm... *she looks skyward, pondering the satellites, as she walks*
<DeathStar> *the wristband tracks them, finding them now and again in gaps in the trees*
<DeathStar> <Selena> We just better hope none are hiding in the Great Forest. That place has no gasps
<Seraphna> Jennifer> A bit off that tree cover is so disruptive, really.
<ChadWinters> <Id> If it provides that great of coverage then I'd imagine it is being used by some groups
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "If any can survive in the Great Forest, then they should not be taken lightly."
<Sara> <Liana> Overreliance on something like that will dull people's sense of adventure as well as their privacy. It's... a little draconian. I don't mind if we aren't able to always use it.
<DeathStar> *Athena suddenly flips like a cat thanks to her Godhood, clinging to a tree and hanging upside down*
<DeathStar> *Cypher pauses and eyes her like Athena is a nut*
<Seraphna> * Jen climbs up after her, not so cat like despite being Famfrit.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Is something the matter?
<DeathStar> *Athena points down at the ground*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *glances at Athena* "What was that?"
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *looks down*
<Seraphna> * Sam peers at the ground, from the branch above Athena.
<Sara> * Chelsea glances narrow-eyed
<DeathStar> *there's a tiny string*
<Sara> <Chelsea> It's a trap.
<Seraphna> Jen> Good senses, love.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Oldest trick in the book...
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Great. How many of us have trap senses
<ChadWinters> 6Id twists then floats down to the string, eyeing it then following along to see where it goes to
<DeathStar> *it leads to some cans to alert people, as well as once broken will swing a log to hurt the person*
<DeathStar> *Athena drops down on the other side*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Hmm. Old school.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I fear I might be activating them
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I'm not that careful
<Sara> <Chelsea> Wow, I haven't seen a string of can alarm in years
<Seraphna> * Jen and Sam make their way over.
<DeathStar> *Cypher steps over them*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We should wathc out for more surprises." *moves past the alarm carefully*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Yes... although this at least tells us that our targets do not have a lot to work with
<kalonZombee> <Ceilia> That means we should be even more careful. Lack of resources breeds creativity.
<Xanatos> <Simon> A fair point. 6* He nods to Chelsea
<DeathStar> *Cypher lets Chelsea take the lead*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And that they must be near."
<Xanatos> 6* Bix marches along, around the string trap, still dooting and singing to himself.
<ChadWinters> <Id> It is most likely they are going low tech to keep scanners from finding them
<DeathStar> *Athena pauses and soon sniffs the air*
<Sara> * Chelsea moves very carefully and deliberately, eyes darting up and down
<DeathStar> *then crouches*
<Seraphna> * Sammael peers around carefully, Jennifer frowns and takes for cover, readying her gun.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pauses, slowly edging behind a tree.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *moves for cover and waits*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Hm. I would not move
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats up to hide in the trees
<DeathStar> *as Sasha moves, there's a click on the ground*
<DeathStar> *Athena's ears twitch*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Lady Hapian!
<Seraphna> * Sam stays still, save for loading an odd looking hand gun with two red painted shells and a blue shell. She pauses at the click.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix goes silent mid-step, tilting his head around.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *holds still*
<Sara> * Chelsea slowly kneels to check what happened
<DeathStar> *Sasha's foot is some leafs that look a little risen up*
<kalonZombee> 6*Ceilia carefully moves to see what caused the click
<DeathStar> *is on
<Sara> <Chelsea> What is this, a switch? Worse, it could be a mine...
<Seraphna> * Sammael holds out a hand to signal Ceila not to move.
<Seraphna> * Sam grimmaces, since with two there now moving them will be harder.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...we have stumbled on to a boobytrapped area."
<DeathStar> <Selena> B-Booby trapped? How do we tell!?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Interesting. 6He scans the area, searching for any other mine traps
<DeathStar> *Selena for once panics*
<kalonZombee> <Ceilia> Raised leaf piles
<Seraphna> Sam> I can teleport you both away, but if any more of you decide to pile onto a mine I'm going to be in trouble.
<kalonZombee> <Ceilia> I would blow the leaves away but no telling how sensitive they are
<ChadWinters> <Id> It would be wise for us to try and disable it. If it goes off they'll know where here
<Seraphna> Sam> That is true.
<DeathStar> *Id would detect 20 mines. And likely not all are under leafs, meaning some have to be hidden under other risen things*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon tilts his head, would Geyze people actually know what a Mine is?
<DeathStar> *since only 10 risen leafs can eb seen*
<kalonZombee> <Ceilia> I was going to freeze it in its triggered place as she stepped slowly off it
<DeathStar> <Selena> W-What is a mine?
<DeathStar> <Selena> An Earth thing>? I have not finished my courses yet?
<Sara> <Liana> ...Where you get ore and stuff? But...
<Seraphna> Sam> A device which explodes when triggered.
<Sara> * Chelsea frowns at their lack of tech knowledge
<DeathStar> <Selena> Oh. Okay. Wait
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Id, lead the others out of this field if you can see them."
<ChadWinters> <Id> Hmm. Let me try something. 6It flickers a bit then projects light on each mine it detected.
<ChadWinters> <Id> These are the ones I have detected.
<DeathStar> *Id brings up about 11. 8 under leaf piles, one hidden under mud and one hidden under risen dirt*
<DeathStar> *the last seems to be behind them*
<Xanatos> <Simon> So these small lit up plates cause explosions? Interesting?
<Xanatos> (No second ?)
<ChadWinters> <Id> Yes, so please avoid them.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> They can really suck to get hit by. And some spread damage around when they explode.
<Xanatos> <Simon> For the one Sasha is on. Could I freeze it?
<kalonZombee> <Ceilia> That's what I was trying to do
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "We could try to freeze it... I might be able to encase the entire field in ice temporarily."
<kalonZombee> <Ceilia> Freeze it as she lifts her foot off to keep the trigger in place
<DeathStar> (Okay let me skim ahead I think I missed a line)
<DeathStar> (So is Ceilia freezing it right now?)
<Seraphna> (Theyw ere dsicussing it)
<kalonZombee> (Yeah Ceilia was just talking about her plan, going over it with the others)
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *looks at Chelsea* "Will that idea work?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> If freezing it would work, perhaps between Ceilia and I we can ensure it is safe.
<DeathStar> *Cypher muses*
<ChadWinters> <Id> In theory it should. It will depend on the design
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *tapping her arm, a little used to mine due to Kumen technology*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I might be able to slow things down
<Sara> <Chelsea> In theory
<DeathStar> <Cypher> But for only a few seconds
<Sara> <Chelsea> Either way it's best to evacuate from the mine immediately
<Sara> <Chelsea> It *will* explode
<DeathStar> <Cypher> It might give Sasha a little more time to get away
<Sara> <Chelsea> So freeze and move right away
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Yes, get everyone els eout of this field. Then we will make the attempt to pull myself out of this situation."
<kalonZombee> 6*Ceilia nods, preparing her spell, but not firing it until others are ready
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I can try to increase the time if Sasha needs it
<DeathStar> *Selena eyes the location of the mines and moves away - hoping she does not step on one of the other 9 mines*
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods, moving clear of the field carefully, Sammael does the same.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix moves out of the way, making sure not to step on the lit up ones. Simon prepares some ice magic as well.
<Sara> * Chelsea carefully leaps out of range, avoiding the mines
<DeathStar> *Athena leaps into the trees, leaving. Cypher stays to do her chi field*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Ready?
<kalonZombee> <Ceilia> I am if everyone else is.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods, summoning Celcius to her side. "I'll provide a backup ice field if needed."
<DeathStar> *Celsius blinks as she appears, peering about*
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Celsius was about to woo someone she met
<Seraphna> Jennifer> *gasps* Without me?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...focus, please."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon readies his spell, waiting.
<DeathStar> <Celsius> Hello Headmistress. You look stiff
<DeathStar> *Cypher waits - she will do the chi field after the ice is done*
<Seraphna> * Jennifer gently takes her hand so she doesn't walk over. "There's a field of explosives around. We need to sheet the ground in ice if anything goes wrong."
<kalonZombee> 6*Ceilia nods to Simon, ready as well
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods and then begins casting the spell to freeze the mine
<kalonZombee> 6*As does Ceilia, casting carefully to not get Sasha stuck
<DeathStar> *as the mine ices, Cypher uses her chi field, slowing down time for Sasha to run*
<DeathStar> *and slow the explosion*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *then uses her double jump magic to leap for a tree*
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> *Cypher hurries and goes*
<DeathStar> 2
<Xanatos> 6* Simon runs away too
<kalonZombee> 6*Ceilia flys away with her flying move I can't look the name of up now
<DeathStar> <Celsius> What should I do?
<ChadWinters> 6Id waits a bit then floats away
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<Xanatos> 6* Simon's feet aren't touching the ground, magic runes appear under each foot.
<DeathStar> *the mine then goes and blows. Celsius winces*
<Seraphna> * Jen nods. "They got free. However, remain with me as we alerted our enemies."
<ChadWinters> <Id> They will be on guard
<DeathStar> *Selena rejoins the team and makes a note to look into them* These things are deadly
<DeathStar> <Selena> Are you okay Aunt?
<ChadWinters> <Id> That is their intention.
<DeathStar> *Cypher hugs Chelsea and spins her*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I've survived worse. What a diabolical creation."
<Sara> * Chelsea blinks, having her hands over her ears
<DeathStar> *Cypher pats her butt. As they continue they soon come to a nice innocent stream that is running a little fast and looks cold due to this time of year. A nice set of rocks are there to cross*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Check for traps...
<ChadWinters> 6Id scans the stream and the rocks
<DeathStar> *the stream seems to have a tracking sensor that is hooked up to something in the water*
<DeathStar> *if one crosses the rocks...*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Hmmm. 6Id floats above the stream. 1"There's a tracking sensor in here.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Which means more traps."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Could we fly over?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Can you?
<Xanatos> <Simon> I could get over without touchiung the ground. 6* He says simply
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...but what is the nature of this tracking device?"
<ChadWinters> <Id> I believe it is hooked up to the rocks.
<DeathStar> <Selena> But what does it do?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> We could have the robot activate it to find out. *she jokes*
<ChadWinters> <Id> Bix or me?
<Sara> <Chelsea> Robots are people too
<Xanatos> 6* Bix marches up and salutes
<DeathStar> <Cypher> ... *she covers Bix's ears*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Not Bix
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> We do not pick on Bix
<Xanatos> <BIx> Cypher mouth = Not Bix!
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Enough. Clearly this is the easiest place to cross, so it is the one they trapped. Do we have a rope or cable?"
<DeathStar> *she peers around* He's there for Aimee to play with
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Hrm...
<DeathStar> *Celsius ices the water*
<DeathStar> <Celsius> There
<Seraphna> Jen> Easy enough.
<DeathStar> *Celsius goes back to playing with an Earth phone she has for some reason, playing a video game on it. IT seems the spirits are being corrupted*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> .... ... I feel like if you know who saw that she would be mad
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Still, let's cross now."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon moves across the ice first
<DeathStar> *Selena slides across*
<Seraphna> * Jen gives Cel a squeeze, while Sam picks up Athena and carries her.
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats across.
<DeathStar> *Athena makes a noise and eyes Sam*
<DeathStar> *Cypher goes to slide and falls on her butt* Ow
<Xanatos> 6* Bix pokes the ice, then leaps across so he doesn't break the ice with his weight
<Sara> * Liana awkwardly tests the ice before trying to cross. Chelsea helps Cypher up
<DeathStar> *Bonnie slides comically and spins across*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *glides across the ice*
<Seraphna> * Sam winks and pats her butt, and slides over with her.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Thank you. *as they begin to reach the other side they soon see a camp with about 20 men and women with various races technology, much of it run down now. Stolen food and Hapian/Naturalist stuff is there, including Spirit Tec*
<DeathStar> *they seem to be trying to learn about the stolen tech they took and even have some books*
<ChadWinters> <Id> It appears we have found them. 6It says quietly
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *nods*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon kneels, preparing himself, traces of icey mist drifting from him.
<ChadWinters> <Id> I imagine we want to catch them alive?
<Xanatos> 6* Bix eyes goes red and he begins to march in there to tell them to stand down and accept arrest.
<DeathStar> *Cypher jerks at Bix*
<Seraphna> * Jen puts an hand on Bix's shoulder. "Wait."
<DeathStar> <Selena> I wonder why they are taking our technology and learning about it
<Xanatos> 6* Bix pauses but doesn't complain or keep moving.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Because it can give them an advantage.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Then we should try to take some alive to find out."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Some? We are here to arrest and deport them. Are we not?
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I think that Shion wnats them arrested
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Yes.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ideally, but we don't know what surprises they have or how willing they may be to resist."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> And to learn about any other Outlaws
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I mean we don't know how many races there are here or what groups are sending them.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "So then, how do we take them alive?"
<DeathStar> *Cypher muses*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Send Bix in and surround as he distracts them. If they fight be non-lethal, it is that simple.
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> And if Aimee's toy gets blown up?
<Seraphna> Jen> Cel and I can probably case a few of them up in ice.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hm, I suspect he will be alright.
<ChadWinters> <Id> We should move quickly.
<DeathStar> *Cypher peers at Chelsea* You are kind of the co-leader. I just manager the tech here
<DeathStar> <Cypher> What do you think?
<Sara> <Chelsea> I don't want Bix to get hurt, but in the end it's as much up to Bix as anyone. Let Bix decide.
<DeathStar> *Cypher lets Bix decide if he wants to be the hero they need but do not deserve*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Either way, surrounding their perimeter is good. Dispatch small teams to surround them, watch for traps."
<Xanatos> 6* Bix salutes and marches forward, Simon takes this time to move around to the opposite side to srround the camp.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Id go with Simon
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I'll go with Chelsea
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats off towards Simon
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *nmods and moves to another spot to get ready*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Celsius and Jen and Athena to another side. Selena and Sasha to another spot. The rest to the final spot. Surround them and once the distraction begins, move in
<DeathStar> *Bonnie leaps on Chelsea's head*
<Seraphna> * Jen nods and heads to the other side with Cel and Athena.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix opens his mouth, eyes a red light and a pre-recorded broadcast starts.
<DeathStar> *Selena kneels by Sasha*
<DeathStar> *Cypher rubs Chelsea's butt in their location*
<Xanatos> <Bix> WARNING. YOU ARE TRESPASSING ON THIS LAND AND WILL BE DETAINED AND QUESTION. SURRENDER PEACEFULLY. DO NOT RESIST. *Over and over*
<Xanatos> (questioned)
<DeathStar> *The 20 men pause, momentarily distracted as they look around, nor reaching for their weapons immediately*
<DeathStar> *probably just completely baffled*
<DeathStar> *It will end in a few seconds*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix holds up his arm and a blast of fire spouts out from his hand.
<DeathStar> *the men scatter and move, grabbing the weapons as they go*
<DeathStar> *many forgetting to*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *nods to Selena and starts moving in*
<Xanatos> <Bix> WARNING. YOU ARE TRESPASSING ON THIS LAND AND WILL BE DETAINED AND QUESTION. SURRENDER PEACEFULLY. DO NOT RESIST.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer uses the few seconds to join with Shiva, becoming a floating icey lady. She starts freezing those who go for weapons.
<DeathStar> *a few blasts hit Bix over and over as they run*
<Seraphna> * Sam teleports in front of Bix, glowing with Hyperspace to deflect blows.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon moves in quietly, planning a few ice spells to incapacitate.
<Seraphna> * Celcius, even
<Xanatos> 6* Bix kneels, and rocket-like propulsion blasts out from his elbows as he rockets over Sam his savior and forward for some running people, using melee hits to KO them if possible.
<DeathStar> *Cypher moves in and fires her at arms and Selena calls Aska and combines with her and moves in, super fast to slash hands off, not being kind*
<Sara> * Chelsea chants a water spell, aiming to blast enemies' weapons away
<Seraphna> * Jennifer keeps freezing those she can, more or less to spare them from Selena now.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Selena, dial it down please. Incapcitate them, not maim."
<ChadWinters> 6Id acts as look-out for Simon, not having much for weapons currently
<DeathStar> *Selena pauses then begins to smash her weapon into their stomach to knock them down*
<Sara> <Liana> She is right, Selena. Unnecessary lethal force is not good.
<Sara> <Liana> Even hunters kill out of mercy, not out of power.
<DeathStar> *one person gets in the tent while they are freezing and stopping the main force rather easily*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *narrows her eyes and moves for the tent*
<DeathStar> *they come in and fire a strange ray at Selena and painfully knock her out of summon form and throw her and Aska apart, then do it at Jennifer*
<Seraphna> ** Jennifer calls up a wall of ice and dodges to the side.
<DeathStar> *scattering the two the charged gun aiming at Sasha as it spins like a gattling gun, spinning a few seconds as it gathers the energy it got from knocking the two out of their forms*
<DeathStar> 5
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *draws her sword and attempts to slash the ray weapon*
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> *it sputters and dies*
<DeathStar> *the guy pauses and eyes their super weapon die and runs*
<Seraphna> * Sammael appears by the gunner and punches him / her in the back of the head.
<DeathStar> *he falls over*
<DeathStar> *Selena winces and pushes himself up*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pauses after one of his ice clones KOs a guy and moves over to peer at the weapon that was used.
<DeathStar> <Selena> *Throws up*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Secure what's left of their weapons."
<DeathStar> <Aska> That was not pleasant...
<ChadWinters> <Id> That is an interesting weapon.
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats over with Simon and scans the weapon
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes it is, very fascinating. Shion will be very interested in this.
<DeathStar> *any remaining people left have surrounded, and the frozen people sit there like statues. The ones without hands sit there or nurse shot wounds*
<Seraphna> * Jen seperates if she wasn't forcefully, due to the dodge move. And frowns. "They're making weapons against spirits and summoners...?"
<DeathStar> *Cypher eyes the cut weapon* Hopefully we can learn more about it
<ChadWinters> <Id> Why wouldn't they?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Tend to the wounded, keep them alive. Thaw out the rest before they get frostburn."
<DeathStar> *Selena rubs her chest* I felt like I was ripped in half
<Xanatos> 6* Bix marches around, no longer red eyed and begin gathering everyone up to put bindings on them.
<DeathStar> *Athena explores the area for clues and muses*
<DeathStar> *Cypher gathers the notes as they finish there*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Signal the Alliance that the outlaw camp has been taken."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Will do. *she taps her ear*
<ChadWinters> <Id> It's common to develop weapons and devices that counter things.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Epilogue
<DeathStar> Location: Hapian Castle
<DeathStar> 6* Celes reads over the report from the mission as they people are questioned and Selena's actions, wondering briefly it was Aska or Selena that was that brutal, burning the report. She peers out at the Earthers being settled into the area
<DeathStar> <Celes> Well, if that one cell had such weapons I worry what other cells might have in the future. *she turns to the map the Royals have been looking at while looking into the bloodlines, a marker for the descendant that went into what is now the Legion area*
<DeathStar> <Celes> And if any retalition might come about going against them as we set out to find our first descendant
