<DeathStar> This looks like a nice legit number
<ChadWinters> Let me tinkle
<ChadWinters> I have done the tinkling
<DeathStar> Are you... all... Ready?
<DeathStar> *sets the ready button down*
* Jackieness places an Aperture Science Weighted Storage Cube on the button.
<DeathStar> Alrighty
<DeathStar> Let us begin

<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-639.5.18 - many many days after the team set out to go to the Prison Cube
<DeathStar> Location: Inside the Prison Cube
* Sara has joined #TAW-Anniversary21
<DeathStar> 6* Traveling to the Prison Cube, Marcus and his team arrived at a giant cube in space with no real protection. Landing in an empty hanger, the team saw what looked to be a teleporter space that was no activated but had no way to power it up and an entrance into the cube itself (cont)
<DeathStar> 6* So they began to go into the Cube proper. However they did not get far - as perhaps their approach was detected or one of the trap rooms caught them and they were gassed and knocked out, soon finding themselves prisoners. Soon forced to do labor and other projects for the shapeshifters and EarthGov, trapped inside the Prison inside the Cube, the prison itself seems to be deep inside the Giant Cube, with no way out. A few EarthGov officals run it, along with the shapeshifters - and now and again food is teleported down into it. The only way out it seems is back into the trap filled Cube unless the warden and the guards know a way out. Days pass and soon Taiga and her people are thrown in as well
<DeathStar> 6* It seems that the shapeshifters are trying to do away with the entire team in this place where no one will ever get out
<DeathStar> 6* Currently both teams have some time off, with cameras watching them. However they are also trapped in a prison with some of the dangerous criminals EarthGov has trapped
<DeathStar> *Zephyr sits in the prison open area, trying form her buster but it seems the place has a thing that nulls all powers. Wyrd is sitting with Truth since being thrown in*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I still can't do anything
<ChadWinters> 6Dias taps down at the floor with his fist. 1"This place seems like an excellent training grounds. Hmmm, indeed."
<DeathStar> *so far the team has found a lot of the missing family members - like Hi and so on. But others like the missing Senators are not there*
* ChadWinters glances over at Zephyr. 1"Still no luck I see?"
<Sara> * Erica sulks, in her own way. She somehow hasn't felt comfortable here, despite her penchant for brawling... perhaps worried more about her own well-being, knowing that she doesn't want her daughter to end up with only one parent growing up.
<DeathStar> *Taiga walks around, her fox ears present but no powers*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *is in a corner, staring blankly while hugging her knees to herself*
* Sathen has joined #TAW-Anniversary21
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I'm starting to get sore with all this labor
<DeathStar> *Sabrina seems to be kneeling in a corner, looking lost with her magical powers not working, mumbling*
<Sara> <Erica> I wish I could take more of the load off of you, Yu...
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It's okay. I should work out more. <Taiga> I wonder if the shapeshifters plan to replace us while we are gone
<DeathStar> <Darien> Probably
<DeathStar> *a Ridiarium is eyeing the team - a giant rock alien. He seems to be sizing Dias and Erica up, shoveling food into his mouth*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> They probably already did.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well lets hope we get back in time before Stacey and Saf have to deal with it then
<Xanatos> <Kellin> How do they...keep us from doing our racial abilities. That's fucking with my mind.
<DeathStar> *The Ridiarium stands up, shoving a table aside and walks over to two*
<ChadWinters> I've been feeling slightly off. No more than normal I imagine. My weapon powers aren't as prominent as the others.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I guess what they are doing is dampening any powers. If your racial power was just pure strength like rock boy there
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It might not be a problem. I know they been eyeing Dias a lot
<Sara> <Erica> Don't look at me. My only real power is being tough.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias hops in place, listening a bit.
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper looks miserable
<Sara> <Erica> Well... that and the stuff I've gotten from my bond, I guess.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It means most of you are normal boys and girls like I was for so many years. Sucks, eh?
<DeathStar> *the Ridarium points at Dias and Erica* You two think you're so tough. *he shoves Dias*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I miss my beer.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ... 6* He watches the rock guy, the snickers as a thought pops in his head.
<DeathStar> *Zephyr whispers to Marcus* I just realize
<ChadWinters> 6Dias is shoved and stumbles a bit before quickly adjusting. 1"Hey there big guy. You seem familiar.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> This is the first time Chad has been with his "kids"*
<DeathStar> <Ridarium> We are the sooperior race!
<DeathStar> <Yuki> H-Hey don't shove my wife
<Xanatos> <Kane> Superior in strength, certainly.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Oh? I mean you guys are pretty strong. Dense even.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *just rocks a bit more in her corner, not really watching what is going on with the others*
<ChadWinters> 6Cel glances over at the ridarium. 1"I don't like not having our abilities Durt."
<DeathStar> *The rock giant throws a punch at Dias*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Good thing we were trained for that situation
<DeathStar> *the other prisoners begin to hoot and place bets with odds and ends they have like soap*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias spins to the left of it, letting the punch come by. 1"Albeit slow."
<DeathStar> *Yuki pulls Erica away*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Dias is going to get killed by a talking boulder and I'm going to have to explain it to Stacey and Kaleb...
<DeathStar> <Ridiarium> You make fun of me! *he lifts his rock fists*
<Sara> * Erica just deadpans, not really caring much about this.
<DeathStar> *A Tsivrixsh with an eyepatch who acts almost like a pirate watches the team, especially the women. He wats his food and shows his teeth*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias plants his foot and dashes under/between the ridariums legs then twists to face him
<DeathStar> *whispering to a few girls around him, looking almost lechterous*
<DeathStar> *the guards so far do not interfere - probably hoping they kill each other*
<DeathStar> <Ridiarum> Where did tiny bug go...
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... should we... even do anything?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> He died, you got him.
<DeathStar> <Rdiarium> ... *he nods, as if pleased and smashes a table and crushes it into a ball, moving off*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias wiggles a finger in his ear as he stays behind him.
<ChadWinters> *his own ear*
<DeathStar> *Yuki rubs Erica. While Taiga just stares*
<Sara> <Erica> Man... *she whispers to Yuki* Someone's really not confident in themselves, huh...
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I like that guy, he's my kind of intelligence.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I heard they used to be smarter.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Dumb as box of rocks. No need to break a hand taking down something that dumb. 6He high fives Marcus
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh rises with his female group and walks over to Erica, cupping her chin with his hand* You do know you all are standing out. Rumor has it that the guards will not protect you if you get killed in here
* ChadWinters drums his finger on the table. 1"I don't like how they haven't really done anything with us yet.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus returns the high five.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias looks at the Tsiv. 1"I've been in worse situations."
<Sara> <Erica> Not intentionally standing out. *she says matter-of-fact*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Why the fuck is everyone interested in Erica? LIke, she's cool or whatever but this seems excessive.
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> You should join my possee. *he peers at Pepper and runs his hand over her head* I was going to make the offer to each of you
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> But she seemed the one most likely to join me once I get out of here.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *snerks*
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> Consider it. You should join a group before you are picked off one by one.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Get out of here? You been here long enough to figure a way out?
<Xanatos> <Pepper> ...I look forward to someone gutting you in your sleep.
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> So you do have some fire in you. Unlike that one. *he motions at Reikana*
<kalonZombee> 6*Hi'Saa walks over, looking worse for wear. She's even... lost her fluff. Sob.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *tail fluffs up*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt eyes the Tsiv, studying him
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> And yes, I have a way out. But I need a group
<ChadWinters> <Dias> How do we know it's not a trap so you can kill us for someone's favor. I've seen a prison movie or two
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> ... prison...movies?
<DeathStar> *He motions a Cartel woman over and whispers to her*
<kalonZombee> <Hi> This isn't a movie, President Dias.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I mean, it's a prison and we're going to bust out so it's not NOT a prison movie.
<Xanatos> <Kane> If only I could obtain some schematics. 6* He mumbles to himself.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias stretches from side to side as he waits then points a thumb at Marcus. 1"See? Even without my powers I'm not worried about most of the prisoners here. With Marcus at my side. We could run this place
<Sara> <Erica> What.
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> Just think on it. The women are especially welcome to join me. *He waves his hand and swaggers off almost like a Tsivrixsh version of Red, then pauses at the run this place, peering back*
<ChadWinters> If only. 6He notes to Kane
<DeathStar> *a few of the tougher prisoners peer up at Dias*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *closes her eyes and bows her head*
<kalonZombee> <Hi> I'd rather get out, Mr. President 6*She whispers
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> Well, we'll see if you live long enough to accept my offer.
<DeathStar> *he moves off as lunch is almost over*
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think the prisoners here did not like your comment, Dias
<Xanatos> <Valen> I know I'm like a kid compared to most of you, but fuck that guy, he was gross.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I would not become his woman to get out of here if you paid me
<Xanatos> <Marcus> As much as Darien is boring, he's right. Hard to escape when we're fighting off these losers.
<kalonZombee> <Hi> Oh he's disgusting. I wouldn't touch him with a biohazard suit on.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Just think if we could turn all these guys on our side. We could easily take this place over
<ChadWinters> <Dias> And ladies. 6He notes respectively
<DeathStar> *another Tsivrixsh rises and holds his tray, eyeing Dias and Marcus - likely going to visit them tonight*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well good luck boys. I hope you can make friends after our shift
<kalonZombee> <Hi> Mister Dias, please don't say things like that.
<Xanatos> <Kane> ... a riot would at least provide a distraction. THough without more information it would be wasted.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *finally stands and walks back over to the group*
<ChadWinters> I imagine they have ways to deal with that.
<ChadWinters> Ultimately we'd need a guard, I think.
<DeathStar> *the guard door opens and Asarar appears in a guard uniform, with Sunny beside her* <Asarar> What are you all waiting around for? *she stomps Dias' foot hard* Get moving to your shift
<ChadWinters> 6Dias howls and he hops around. 1"CLUMSY SON OF!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *mumbles since unlike them, Asarar's team didn't end up in the prison, but one day appeared in the Prison - as guards*
<Sara> * Erica looks at Yuki, deadpan
* ChadWinters keeps a neutral face at Asarar and Sunny
<Sara> * Sunny smiles brightly
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...dumbass..."
<DeathStar> *Yuki frowns, eyeing Asarar as she begins to move*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...
<DeathStar> *Asarar stands there and whispers to the prisoners who were eyeing Dias and Marcus, making one pale a little*
<DeathStar> *giving a shark grin as they all move by to work*
<kalonZombee> 6*Hi sighs, moving and standing up, missing her wives
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus rubs his face and then rises to move towards his shift.
* ChadWinters , Durt, Cel and Dias all follow along.
<DeathStar> *Darien rises, as does Wyrd, Zegretta and the rest*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *glances back at Asarar and Sunny before following the others out*
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper pouts, looking exhausted, Kane moves stoically and Valen sighs then moves along as well.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt walks along with Valen.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Dumb tree, I'm still a minor out here but nooo it made me all old.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina walks with Valen and Taiga with Rada. Yuki leans on Erica*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> When will this end
<ChadWinters> <Durt> You wanted to follow Lore.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Not soon enough. 6* She says to Yuki
<Sara> <Erica> More or less that.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> You think being a minor would have mattered?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It might would have made things worse in here
<ChadWinters> <Durt> She's got a point. They might have tried to use you as currency by now.
<DeathStar> *Asarar waits until the place is empty, then casually brings out a device so no one can hear her and Sunny*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I detected the Aquarius and another ship coming soon. It might be time to do what we came here to do finally. Tonight I'll open the cells
<Sara> <Sunny> Mmhmm...~ The Aquarius, you say... *smile smile*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Of course the way out leads back to the Cube itself. I can find no way to activate the teleporter system to leave this place. It seems to be one way.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But we can at least hack their systems while we're here while causing problems
* ChadWinters glances between Asarar and Sunny. 1"So whatever is causing it to be one way needs to be disabled."
<DeathStar> (Chad and company would not hear this)
<ChadWinters> *Oh*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well until then I guess you and I need to keep abusing the team like real guards. *she goes to turn off the device*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *nodding to Sunny*
<Sara> <Sunny> The Aquarius certainly would be a convenient ride... wouldn't it be nice to have a ship like that? *she smiles back when it's turned off*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *shrugs at Sunny, since if she wants to try that, she's on her own*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Night soon falls. Asarar and Sunny begins to walk along the hallways, Asarar leaving the rest of her team to deal with the computer systems. Taiga eyes Chris in her cell, then Sunny
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .. weird.
<Sara> * Chris spits. "Don't think too hard on that shit," she notes dryly.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina lays in her cell, mumbling about magic*
<DeathStar> *Yuki sighs, hating night since she can't grope Erica. Darien does pull ups in his cell*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias punches against his cell wall. 1"I gotta say guys, this is the best birthday present ever. I couldn't imagine spending it with anyone else."
* ChadWinters lays in his cell, his eyes closed as he thinks.
<ChadWinters> 6Cel sits cross legged on her bed, quietly
<DeathStar> *suddenly three prisoner cells open and they move over to Dias and Marcus' cells, holding shivs*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt taps his foot annoyingly against the floor
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus does sit ups, Kane sits quietly, Valen just sleeps and Pepper is probably quietly crying
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... *she pauses and reaches up to her communication, asking her team what is going on*
<Sathen> *Jelly mumbles in his cell, stairing out at the hallway*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias turns around, eyeing the prisoners, then the shivs. 1"Oooh? Early birthday presents?! 6He grins as he cracks his knuckles
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and stands up.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Great right before I planned it too
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You don't want to do this
<ChadWinters> 6Dias' grin suddenly gets wider. 1"So you want to take turns?
<DeathStar> *they open Marcus' cell first and begin to walk in, deciding to make Dias' watch*
<DeathStar> <Prisoner> Oh? Why's that?
<Sara> <Sunny> Oh, this looks like it is going to be fun to watch! *she notes to herself*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias moves up to his cell door. 1"Oh because he's stronger than me."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus says nothing, grabbing his sheet and spinning it to make a rope-like object.
<DeathStar> *the three move in quickly, stabbing at Marcus*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus grabs the sheets taught and uses it to redirect stabbing arms away from him, kicking out or dodging as possible.
* Orthogon has joined #TAW-Anniversary21
<Xanatos> 6* Kane moves to his cell doors and looks over them for a weakness he could exploit.
<Xanatos> 
<DeathStar> *one is a Tsivrixsh, one is a human and one is an unknown alien. Kane manages to knock the human's arm away and knocks the unknown alien's arm away. The Tsivrixsh powers through and grabs Marcus by the throat, lifting him up*
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> I will rule this place human
* Seraphna has joined #TAW-Anniversary21
<DeathStar> *He begins to aim the shiv for his gun. Asarar's team finally opens all the cells*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus reaches out to grab at the Tsiv's eyes, trying to gouge them out.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias eyes go wide and he dashes out fast and into MArcus' cell, grabbing at the human and other aliens heads to slam them down on to the ground
* ChadWinters opens his eyes and he get's off his bed, moving outside, peering around
<DeathStar> *Wyrd steps out and watches quietly having been that way since the team has arrived. The Tsivrixsh howls in rage, the shiv scraping the ribs*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus drops and snaps one arm down for the pit of the elbow and the other for the back of the hand aiming to cause the tsiv to stab himself, gritting his teeth through the pain.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane steps out of his cell and glancing around carefully, looking for guards.
* ChadWinters glances with Kane
<DeathStar> *the other two enemies begin to fall down KOed and Marcus takes out the Tsiv, who gurgles*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias stands up dusting his hands off and peers down at the dieing Tsiv. 1"I warned them."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *steps out of her cell without a word*
<Sathen> *Damian moves out of his cell and glances towards the fighting then towards where the guards usually come from*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well I've probably got some STD now. 6* He nods to Dias and takes his sheet to wrap around his wound.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen snorts awake and slowly walks out of his cell rubbing his eyes, Pepper quickly runs over to Erica and Yuki.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina looks down quietly, her hair a mess these days and Zegretta seems out of sorts. Taiga and Yuki hug each other, glancing around. Asarar has vanished - not sure about Sunny*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias moves to pick up the two shivs and steps out. 1"Alright kids. It's time for our superhero escape."
<Seraphna> * Truth steps out of her cell and blinks, then spotting her, heads towards Wyrd.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt steps out, stretching. Cel steps out peering around
<DeathStar> *Wyrd peers at Truth and away, not sure how to react to her the past week or so since learning about what has happened to her with the other Wyrd*
<Seraphna> * Truth blinks, but doesn't hesitate to grab her up into a hug.
<Sathen> *Damian moves over to check on Marcus's wound as well* Meh, you'll live; remind me when we get out of here to give you a tetanus booster though.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Check the exits, we don't exactly know the way out but if we work together we may be able to overpower the guards and get out of here.
<DeathStar> *at this point one can assume the friends and fmailies are on auto follow*
<Orthogon> *Rada wakes up and stretches, not sure how long he was imprisoned or even when*
<ChadWinters> Keep everyone close by.
<DeathStar> *the pirate Tsivrixsh leans his head out*
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> Hey. You all.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Ah look, it's the vulgar one.
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> You will need me. The greatest pirate in the galaxy to get out of here
<Sara> <Erica> Is that a joke?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...don't look like Captain Red..."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... do we need him? <Yuki> He wants to feel up our women
<Orthogon> <Rada> Perhaps it's a very, very small galaxy.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias looks over at the Tsiv. 1"You need me and Marcus. The greatest Superhero in the galaxy and a wolf-man
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...why would even remotely need him?
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> I studied under Red once. My name is Xsh'ed - I gave the name to myself. It has a flair to it does it now
<Sathen> *Jelly yawns and grumbles to himself, looking around for old friends and teammates* Can we maybe find a guard station to hack?
<ChadWinters> If he has information on this place we don't. A place to start even.
<Orthogon> <Rada> So is everyone just the greatest $x in the galaxy now?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Shed. You're name is shed?
<Orthogon> <Rada> You'll need me, Rada, the greatest pessimist in the galaxy!
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...let him out... more people running around... the better..."
<ChadWinters> <Dias> My names Dias.....Just Dias. Well Currently President Dias.
<DeathStar> *the Tsivrixsh pauses and looks annoyed* Anyway, if you all want to get caught going to a guard station go ahead.
<Seraphna> Angela> *in Tsiv* Guide us wrong....
<ChadWinters> 6Durt makes sure the kids are by him. Cel stays with him
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> What she said.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Who wants a shiv? 6He holds up the two he gathered
<DeathStar> <Darien> *peers at Rada* So what are you the greatest at then?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm fine
<Seraphna> * Angela moves over to the cell and sees about opening it. "We've made worse decisions... like trying to break into here."
<kalonZombee> <Gor> ... 6*Gor sighs
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Give the shivs to someone who can get stabby like a Darien or something.
<DeathStar> *Wyrd awkwardly nods to Truth, peering at her stomach then away* <Darien> Fine, fine. I'll take it if no one wants it
<Orthogon> <Rada> I can make spaghetti sculptures.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Just make a stupid decision! I'm tired of being swapped around!"
<ChadWinters> 6Dias hands one to Wyrd with a smile and one to Darien
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Alright pervert, help us get out of here and keep your hands to yourself and you can go your own way once we're clear.
<DeathStar> *Xsh'ed steps out* Anyway, if you want to get out, there is only one way
<ChadWinters> <Dias> The pointy end goes into the fleshy bits. 6He explains to Darien
<kalonZombee> <Gor> And that is?
<DeathStar> <Xsh'ed> You need to go back into the Cube proper. *Darien boinks Dias' head with the dull end*
<Seraphna> Truth> *kisses Wyrd's cheek* I'm sorry, I thought it was you.
<DeathStar> <Xsh'ed> And work your way through it to the exit. I heard the guards say that there was no other exit once
<ChadWinters> 6Dias hops back, rubbing his head furiously
<ChadWinters> Has to be an exit. Otherwise the guards wouldn't have a way out.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> The thing that trapped us in the first place?
<Xanatos> <Kane> They likely have some sort of teleportation system.
<Orthogon> <Rada> We're in a cube? Of how many dimensions?
<Xanatos> <Kane> Perhaps genetically encoded for security purposes
<ChadWinters> 12. 6He notes dully
<ChadWinters> It's possible. PAX has a system like that if I recall.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan wraps around Zegretta
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well, how do we get to this deadly cube?
<Seraphna> Angela> If we could just down whatever's taking our powers away this would be easy.
<DeathStar> <Xsh'ed> That I do not know. I think it's something like 7 by 7. But I do not think all of the rooms were used. So if we are lucky we will not have to go through it all
<Seraphna> Angela> They've likely built this place around the idea we're denied them.
<DeathStar> <Xsh'ed> The size of it I think is meant to overwhelm prisoners
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Well... it's kinda working.
<DeathStar> <Xsh'ed> So we might be lucky and the exit is only a few rooms away
<Seraphna> * Tabetha rubs her head, "I've felt blind and deaf since we've gotten here..."
<ChadWinters> Well we should get going. The guards are going to eventually notice somethings off
<DeathStar> <Xsh'ed> Begins to lead them to the exit - so far nothing stops them likely due to Asarar*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *starts walking*
<Xanatos> 6* My people follow along for now, Marcus staying towards the front, he pauses to tighten the sheet to stem some of the bleeding.
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na and Gor follow along
<ChadWinters> 6Dias walks with Marcus. While Durt and Cel stay with the teens. Chad stays in the middle
<Sathen> *Damian and others follow, Rea ahead of the others while not fully trusting Shed too much but not voicing it*
<Seraphna> * Sera's small army moves along.
<kalonZombee> 6*Add Hi to the tagalong
<Orthogon> *Rada også går.*
<DeathStar> *they soon reach a hatch*
<DeathStar> *not being guarded*
<Orthogon> *Rada throws a piece of small metal down the hatch*
* ChadWinters eyes the hatch and the area around it, looking for anything odd
<DeathStar> *Xsh'ed grabs the hatch and turns it opening it up to a square room. He blinks as Rada throws I assume something from the cafeteria into it and nothing happens*
<Orthogon> <Rada> I don't hear any reaction there.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Maybe it's a teleporter to an upside down room
<Orthogon> <Rada> Maybe we're already upside down.
<ChadWinters> Feel free to lead the way then.
<DeathStar> *the room inside has a hatch on the floor on the north wall and east wall. Northing on the west wall*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Uh, who is expendable here and wants to open the east hatch?
<DeathStar> *Darien cautiously enters, as does Wyrd, Zegretta, Taiga and Yuki and Sabrina*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...probably you."
<Orthogon> *Rada raises his hand*
* ChadWinters 's grow goes in after the others.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Sick burn.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *climbs in*
<Sathen> *Rea shakes his head at Marcus* At this point, we have no choice but to see what we can from opening each.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hm. Do you just blindly learn which rooms are traps I wonder
<Seraphna> Angela> Oh this will be fun.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Alright, he's going to open both, stand back and see what happens.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I guess the hatches are there because whaever is in the other room might could come in this room
<ChadWinters> I wonder if opening one locks the others.
<Sathen> Rea> I didn't say that I was going be the one opening each...
<DeathStar> *As soon as everyone is in this room the hatch behind them closes*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Its a giant puzzle."
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hm. 6* He eyes the hatch behind them.
* ChadWinters glances backwards at it lock. 1"Seem's that way.
<DeathStar> *Taiga checks to see if it locked and turns it - the hatch opens
<Xanatos> <Valen> WELL I'M OUT 6* He just crosses his arms, looking annoyed already.
<ChadWinters> I wonder if it's run by an AI or if a guard is actually watching it.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... at least we can back track*
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Huh.
<Seraphna> Angela> Probably just automated then?
<Sathen> *Rea moves to test the hatch on the east wall, see if it's locked while Taiga has hers open*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Obvious that the place is meant to be disorienting."
<ChadWinters> <Cel> It's possible guards don't watch the entrance because no one get's through it.
<DeathStar> *As Rea opens it, the previous door shuts - the room in the other has a north, west and floor hatches - and they are at the east hatch naturally*
<Orthogon> <Rada> Maybe nobody gets through it because it's well guarded.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Or they get lost and starve to death.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I'll say it again, is this how you people normally perceive reality? *she rubs her head*
<Sathen> Rea> I guess this answers the question of what happens with the other doors...*closes the hatch*
<ChadWinters> Well...6Chad moves over to Marcus, and pressues his fingert against the blood from his bandage and moves to the east wall, wiping a mark on it.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well it seems just random, so let's just choose and go, right?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hey look, I'm helping with life blood.
<DeathStar> *west wall - remember I made a mistake
<Seraphna> Angela> If it has a use outside dripping on my feet, cool.
<ChadWinters> *K*
<DeathStar> *you are basically a corner room on the far far corner to make it easy*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Eventually I'll lose enough and pass out then you won't hear me talk, win win.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Did we decide if that room was safe?
<Seraphna> Angela> Silver linings. *she pats him*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Like throw shoes in or clothes
<Seraphna> Angela> Or Dias.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen oohs and throws one of his slipper shoe things into the west room.
<Sathen> *Rea pulls off his jacket and reopens the hatch for Valen to throw through*
<Seraphna> Angela> Darn, enthusiastic kids.
<ChadWinters> Well should we all go through or do we wanna check each one.
<DeathStar> *it lands and nothing happens* <Taiga> ... so what makes this room safe and that one. .. there has to be a way for the guards to tell if they ever need to leave
<Xanatos> (Doubt you have a jacket, you're in prison)
<ChadWinters> 6Durt grabs Rea's hand, almost cruishing it
<Seraphna> * Angela peers around for some kind of indicator.
<ChadWinters> *misread it, I thought he threw valen
<Seraphna> Angela> "Perhaps a mark or something?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Maybe so
<Xanatos> <Kane> Perhaps something simple, a direction indicator using radio frequiencies.
<DeathStar> *Yuki looks around* You see anything Erica?
<Orthogon> <Rada> Look for marks on the floor. I doubt they clean this place to perfection.
<ChadWinters> I have been.
<Orthogon> <Rada> Good job, lad.
<DeathStar> *Yuki kneels and studies the floor and wall. Chad would see something*
<DeathStar> *near the hatch*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen skips in to go grab his slipper.
* ChadWinters glances at it and moves in close.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt smacks his head as Valen goes in
<Sathen> *Rea looks into the new room and for anything that might indicate movement from past individuals*
<DeathStar> *the first room has W3*
<ChadWinters> Hmm. W3?
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> A-Are you okay in that room?
<DeathStar> *she sticks her head in - the hatch then closes after Valen goes in. The hatches being on a timer too it seems*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina barely getting her head back in time*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That's not good.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Uh oh.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Is he dead?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...sooooo... is that guy screwed?"
<ChadWinters> 6Durt quickly moves to the hatch to try and open it again
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Lorelei is not going to be happy
<DeathStar> *they find Valen safe thankfully*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Valen
<Xanatos> 6* Valen holds a thumbs up
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Is there anything writetn in that room?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Uhm. 6* He looks
* ChadWinters tells him where to look
<DeathStar> *Valen finds G13*
<Xanatos> <Valen> G13!
<Seraphna> * Truth just keeps holding Wyrd, possessively, but giving her her time by not badgering her or trying to explain more.
<ChadWinters> Let's all head in to that room for now.
<Orthogon> <Rada> 'W' and 'G' right next to one another?
<DeathStar> *Wyrd slowly climbs in* <Taiga> Yeah. Not sure I understand
<Seraphna> * Angela muses. "Maybe certain zones are safe and they're briefed after each change."
<DeathStar> *Darien and Yuki move in, as does Taiga.*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *moves in*
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Maybe.
<Seraphna> * Sera's people migrate in.
<Sathen> *Rea moves in, followed by Damian and Jelly*
<DeathStar> *Zegretta climbs in and slips, landing bad*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves in and berates Valen for being so careless. Cel follows. Dias leaps through and Chad makes his way in, looking at the other entrances for coding
<Seraphna> * Kaelan tries to catch her.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus, Kane and Pepper also step through.
<DeathStar> *the north entrance has D4, the west entrance has E19*
<DeathStar> *Yuki grabs her head* I do not like puzzles
<Seraphna> Angela> New letters and numbers... anyone thinking of a pattern yet?
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hm, perhaps the Letters allow them to change up the entry and exit routes without having to do anything special. They give a sheet with WGEHAYIZ and then the guards follow that path.
<Orthogon> <Rada> And the numbers?
<ChadWinters> So a shifting prison room. Interesting
<DeathStar> *oh and the floor number is...*
<Sathen> *Jelly muses*
<DeathStar> *S15*
<ChadWinters> Hmm...We could go with D4.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Maybe its a grid?"
<Orthogon> <Rada> Any particular reason for D4?
<Seraphna> Angela> Turn into a dragon and bust through all the walls. Turn into a dragon and... *seems to be a mantra*
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hm, it's a shame that the number isn't the moment that number occurs in the alphabet. Since E is not the 19th position.
<Orthogon> <Rada> The layout might be a grid but the letters don't describe one.
<DeathStar> (F14 for he floor)
<ChadWinters> Nope.
<DeathStar> (Wow my eyes jumped to a floor above)
<Xanatos> <Marcus> It's probably just random and you all are wasting time. SOmeone pick a door.
<ChadWinters> We'll have to pick a few till we figure out a pattern.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *she picks Jelly up*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Presuming that this is only using the base alphabet, that factor is 26 characters.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *she pauses opening a door*
<DeathStar> <taiga> You have an idea?
<Sathen> *Jelly flails* Hey, what're you thinking of???
<Seraphna> Tabetha> It means the grid must be 26 by 26.
<ChadWinters> Makes sense. But the problem is, which direction is the exit.
<Orthogon> <Rada> You're forgetting that they're paired with numbers. It might not be so simple. They can reuse letters arbitrarily.
<DeathStar> *the pirate Tsivrixsh> But it's 7 by 7. So why is it the alphabet?
<Seraphna> Tabetha> "Hrm... that is true..."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> In which case, how many letters have we seen thus far?
<Xanatos> <Kane> 5.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> W3 safe
<DeathStar> <Taiga> G13 safe
<Seraphna> Tabetha> There will be two more if it is 7 by 7 then...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> D4 unknown, E19 unknown, F4 unknown
<DeathStar> (and the one I said ahead of time lol)
<Xanatos> <Marcus> D4, E19, or F14. Perhaps E19 as it is an odd number?
<Xanatos> (That was Kane)
<ChadWinters> Worth a try
<Seraphna> Tabetha> It is the best pattern we have at the moment.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Or, they are all Prime I believe, so that may be it as well.
<ChadWinters> Letter's considered odd too.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Overly complex would kill more guards than save too.
<Orthogon> <Rada> All prime? Not so.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves over to E19 and opens to look in
<Seraphna> Angela> A prison where the guards can do math, we truly are in hell.
<DeathStar> *it seems safe*
<Sathen> Jelly> Would be a deterant to them leaving and telling people about the route
<ChadWinters> IF we're gonna do it, we should do it all together.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus grabs Valen's shoe and throws it in.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ASK next time!
<DeathStar> *Taiga tosses Jelly into the room too*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Go Go Jelly. *she has a bedsheet around him*
<Sathen> *Jelly flails in the sheet, landing on his butt*
<DeathStar> *nothing happens*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias moves to the hatch and prepares to hold it open incase it starts closing
<Jackieness> <Reikana> So did he die?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I think mom likes to tease Jelly
<DeathStar> <Taiga> E19 safe
<kalonZombee> <Gor> To be fair, Jelly is very teasable
<Seraphna> Tabetha> So odd numbers theory holds for now.
<ChadWinters> Let's head through then.
<Xanatos> 6* My people move into the room.
<Sathen> Jelly> Alright Jailbait momma, you get to go through the next one! *pulls the sheet off and stands*
<Orthogon> <Rada> It's not a theory until we test the negation. Let's try an even room next.
* ChadWinters and his group move in
<ChadWinters> You're welcome to go in by yourself
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks for hatches and letters/number.
<DeathStar> *Darien makes his wat in slowly and winces.
* ChadWinters looks around for all the letter/snumbers
<DeathStar> *Zegretta, Wyrd and company follow*
<Seraphna> * Sera's people move along.
<Sathen> *Rea and Damian follow inside, looking as well*
<Orthogon> <Rada> Wow, so snappish.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *moves in as well*
<kalonZombee> 6*kalon's people move in
<DeathStar> *H10 north, I9 to the west, S15 below*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> And here is where it gets tested.
<ChadWinters> I9 would be the nexst odd set.
<Orthogon> <Rada> I want to throw something into H10.
<Sathen> Rea> And how would you suggest monitoring to see if its safe?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I won't throw Jelly this time
<Xanatos> <Kane> And why not S15?
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Aww.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You all make it seem like evens are bad
<Xanatos> 6* Valen guards his shoes this time.
* ChadWinters motions for Rada to do that
<Sathen> *Jelly bares his teeth* Good choice, cuz I'll bite you if you try it again.
<Orthogon> <Rada> I can just manifest things, you know. *manifests a token and throws it*
<DeathStar> *nothing happens*
<DeathStar> *the manifestation power is nulled*
<Seraphna> Angela> Rada... our powers are nulled.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ...haha, doofus.
* ChadWinters snorts, a smirk on his face
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Don't pick on him, he just got here
<Seraphna> Angela> Else Tabetha here would stop acting like she's having a hangover and just tell us the route out.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Throw a shoe or your pants or something.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias looks bored, almost zombie like at the lack of things to punch and all the brain puzzles
<kalonZombee> <Gor> If we could use our powers I would have just jumped into the computers and hacked our way out
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Yeah, if we could use powers, we'd have blonw this place to dust by now."
<Orthogon> <Rada> How about I throw a fist in your face, chad?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Me and him have been here like a day unlike you all
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I'm so blind right nowwwww.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> If you punch Chad I will give you my life savings when we get out of here.
* ChadWinters shrugs. 1"Whatever helps you test the room you want
<Seraphna> Angela> I've seen your life savings. It can't buy a Burger at Joe's Discount Burgers.
<DeathStar> *Taiga pulls her prison shirt off*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hold on
<Orthogon> <Rada> Welp. *shoves Chad into the H10 room*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> !!!
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Life savings? So what... three empty beer bottles and an unused condom?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Don't tell him that.
* ChadWinters grabs on to Rada, and the entry way
<Orthogon> <Rada> Ah, wanna go together?
<Sathen> *Jelly stares at Taiga without her shirt on* I'm okay with this as compensation!
<Seraphna> Angela> Is this where Chad and Rada battle and become best friends?
<DeathStar> *Taiga has an undershirt thank you*
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Maybe kiss a bit?
<DeathStar> *as Rada and Chad get a little closer and closer into the room
<DeathStar> *two devices rise up and target them*
<DeathStar> *and begin to unleash flame throwers*
<Seraphna> Angela> Get down!
<DeathStar> 3
* ChadWinters just eyes him then shifts his weight, aiming to take himself and RAda to the ground
<Sathen> *Rea yanks back on both Chad and Rada*
<kalonZombee> 6*kalon's people get down
<ChadWinters> *so they're under the flamethrower
<Sathen> Rea> The Door!
<Orthogon> *Rada tries to duck back into the previous room
<Xanatos> <Kane> Well, that's another for both Odds and Primes.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Yes... evens had a trap.
<Orthogon> <Rada> Well, now we actually have some evidence for our theory!
<Orthogon> <Rada> I like these better than hunches.
<DeathStar> *the hatch closes and the hatch is heard roasting*
<DeathStar> *then silence*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> So which odd numbered door shall we choose?
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hm, both 9 and 15 are not prime number, so that would eliminate that hunch. So now the letters much come into play.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Puzzles!!
* ChadWinters stands up. 1"You're an idiot." 6He states simply as he looks over to the I9 hatch
<Orthogon> <Rada> We could try to prioritize the next lowest lexicographically?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan continues to support Zegretta, ear flicking as she things.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...maybe H stands for 'heat'."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I-I got that
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> .... *she opens I9*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias perks up a bit at the sound of commotion then goes back to being bored
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> ... *grabs Taiga's shirt and throws it in. two devices rise and throw acid on it, burning it away*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... I--- .... *she pales*
<Orthogon> <Rada> And you're such a genius, I'm sure you've solved it already.
<Sathen> Jelly> Well, there goes that garment...
<Seraphna> Tabetha> And there goes even numbers.
<ChadWinters> 6Cel eyes Rada dangerously for a moment then looks towards the last door. 1"It appears both are dead ends.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> So what about the next room's symbols matches the pattern?
<DeathStar> <Darien> The floor
<DeathStar> <Darien> What was it?
<DeathStar> *he opens the hatch and peers down to the lower level*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> S15
<ChadWinters> Hmmm.
<Xanatos> <Kane> I is also 9th in the english alphabet. So that stops that connection. This is fun.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I is 9th
<DeathStar> *Darien muses*
<DeathStar> <Darien> You might be onto something
<DeathStar> *Darien leaps down without testing it*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus slowly leans over to peer down at Darien to see if he's roasted.
<Seraphna> * Angela jerks and moves after him. "Darien? Are you alive?"
<Sathen> *Damian leans over the edge as well*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I don't smell anything cooking."
<ChadWinters> No screams of pain.
<DeathStar> *two devices rise up*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> UH, Jump. 6* He lays down to hold it arm out for Darien.
<Sathen> *Damian reaches down to try and grab at Darien, to help boost him up*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...and there are the two kill boxes."
<DeathStar> *Darien leaps up and grabs their hands as it shoots lasers and burns Darien's boots*
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... S is 19. 19 - 15
<ChadWinters> Even number.
<Sathen> *Damian pulls up with Marcus to bring Darien back into the safe room*
<DeathStar> *Darien muses*
<Xanatos> <Kane> W is 23. Minus the 3 makes 20, so I'm not sure if that's the key.
<Orthogon> <Rada> Well, W3 was safe.
<Orthogon> <Rada> Yeah.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Either way we're at a dead end, let's go back and try another even room.
<ChadWinters> But if you add them together.
<Xanatos> <Kane> ...it's 26 which is still even.
<ChadWinters> No...6He clicks his tongue rubbing the bridge of his nose
<DeathStar> <Darien> Lets go bcak to the first room. I don't think we tried north
<DeathStar> <Darien> W3
<Orthogon> <Rada> What the hell are you doing with your tongue...
<Sathen> Jelly> This place is frustrating...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Agreed
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *to Rada* I gave up trying to understand Chad
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "So why do this at all?"
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Maybe to break our spirits so we go back to the prison...
<DeathStar> *Sabrina looks ready to cry*
<Xanatos> <Valen> I vote we go back to the prison!
<ChadWinters> 6Durt bops Val's head
<Orthogon> <Rada> It might be wrong to assume there's any real safe path out of here. We don't even know for sure that this is totally automated.
<Xanatos> <Valen> What!? Let someone come save us.
<Sathen> Rea> So that we can maybe get out of here and deal with these Shapeshifters and corrupt senators.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets try for a while longer
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Outside the Cube
<DeathStar> 6* The Aquarius lands beside a small shuttle. Lemon, X, Erevis and company walk off right as those of the Aquarius walk off their ship
<DeathStar> *both teams glancing at each other*
<Seraphna> Jaime> W-Well... hi...?
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Cheers.
<DeathStar> *Shion, in her young form, wears a hood - having come to rescue her mother Hi. Lorelei stays on the Aquarius to monitor things*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ...dad.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I assume you all have people inside here too?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We do. My brother and a few others
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC walks down, adjusting her rifle.
<DeathStar> *she moves to a hatch in he wall* Not really guarded. <Lemon> I'm coming Kane
<Seraphna> Si> My husband, and mother’s... sisters... cousins...
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Nah, I'm just a nice guy.
<Jackieness> <Airym> also stay aboard the Aquarius to continue her shapeshifter research*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It cannot hurt to team up
<Jackieness> <Moira> "The cowards gassed most of our team."
<Xanatos> 6* Xan and the progen pop and son walk forward, Xan's eye is scanning constantly to try and pick up anything that may tip him off to anything fishy.
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> That bothers me that there's no guards.
<DeathStar> *She and Rachael turn the hatch and as they enter most mechanics and powers are nulled. Even weapons begin to give out*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Seems like a trap if I've ever seen one.
<Seraphna> * Cookie and Reese tastily move to join everyone.
<DeathStar> <Shion> H-Hey...
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...well my eye is fucking up.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC peers down at her gun. 1"My weapon seems to have failed."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *she eyes her gauntlet*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Gah I’m blind.
<DeathStar> <X> ... I feel weak
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ... maybe I should fly around outside and shoot the exterior a bunch?
<Seraphna> Cookie> Well no, I can see the present...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That might kill those inside
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But if you wish to risk it
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks, grabbing his chest and falls to the ground, his form flickering in and out of his energy form.
<DeathStar> *Erevis eyes a hatch to the west, east and south*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC looks down at Drasek. 1"He does not seem to be doing well."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> No. No that's probably bad.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Well, this still works." *draws her sword*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You should stay behind Drasek, lest you vanish or something worse
<Xanatos> * Drasek tchs, looking ill and backs up towards the exit.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I’m unsure if I should try summoning now or when we most might need it.
<DeathStar> *Shion studies the floor and reads out a number*
<DeathStar> <Shion> C2...
<Xanatos> <Xan> Room designation?
<DeathStar> <Shion> I guess
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC> I would recommend trying to use magic first."
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I would recommend trying to use magic first before attempting a summon
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC glances at Shion then looks around the room
<DeathStar> *Erevis opens the east hatch and looks at the number* W... 19
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well my spirit artifacts only have so much in them.
<DeathStar> *Shion tries the west hatch* C3
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek, once outside stays solidified in his form and lets out a slow breath looking annoyed.
<DeathStar> *X looks at the south* F1
<Xanatos> <Xan> Start at one and see if it ascends?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Is this some kind of maze?"
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Yeah, definitely a maze.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am feeling right
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I never enjoyed mazes.
<Seraphna> Si> Worse. It’s MATH.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Lets go east
<DeathStar> *Let us
<Xanatos> <Xan> East we go. 6* He steps in
<DeathStar> *Erevis walks in and nothing happens*
<DeathStar> *X makes a face and follows*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I-Is it safe just to walk in
<Seraphna> * Jaime frowns and follows.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Not sure.
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> I wouldn't assume not. But Erevis has her ways. 6SHe moves after the group
<DeathStar> *Erevis tries the south* X4.... and east is W2. Nothing to the north
<Seraphna> Cookie> Not a fan of not seeing what’s coming. How do you all live like this?
<Jackieness> <Moira> *sheathes her sword and moves in after Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> ... East or south?
<Xanatos> <Xan> X4 because my name has an X in it.
<DeathStar> <Shion> .... A number and a letter.
<Seraphna> Jaime> *pulls out a notebook and starts marking things down*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Live with it until you're old enough to drink booze without Lorelei giving you the look. That's how you live with it."
<DeathStar> *Erevis pulls her bra off, leaving her kimono on and tosses that in. The bra is melted by acid*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC tilts her head
<Sathen> *Orihime follows along behind them, her brow scrunched up a bit as she walks*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your name does not live up to it's reputation
<Xanatos> <Xan> On the contrary, I melt your bra off all the time.
<Seraphna> Jaime> X4... hmmm...
<DeathStar> *Erevis muses, then tosses Jaime's bra into W2, with nothing happening*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Safe
<DeathStar> <Shion> T-This is our testing method?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ... 6* He steps into W2
<Seraphna> * Jaime writes down “28?”
<Xanatos> <Xan> I think it's a pretty good testing method! 6* He steps inside.
<Seraphna> * Jaime follows, marking down “25” under W2.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC steps in after Xan
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Don't look at me! I need my support!"
<Seraphna> * Sera’s people follow unless specified.
<DeathStar> *Erevis checks east and gets I10 and south W2. So far she hs not been checking the floor, not thinking to do so*
<Seraphna> Jaime> 19 and 25 again... if I’m right. What floor are we even on?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not sure. The top floor maybe
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Out of how many floors?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know, it looked big though.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Seven floors maybe
<Sathen> Orihime> It doesn't matter, just find whatever it is that's dampening our powers so we can shut it off...
<DeathStar> *Erevis checks the bottom hatch and gets K6*
<DeathStar> *er T16*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am thinking W again
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It has not failed us yet
<Xanatos> 6* Xan offers his shirt to test
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Who is with me? I can toss Jaime's bra in again if you think otherwise
<DeathStar> *since it was not burned*
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> That seems worth it
<Sathen> *Orihime shrugs, pulling off her shirt and offering it up; she seems to be sweating a bit as they go* Here, use this and let Jaime have her bra back...
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods and tosses it. The room is safe and they move on*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin looks pretty confused, Xan peers around curiously.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *to the east is X4 - that acid room and weast is X20. To the south is D5 and below is K23*
<Seraphna> * Jaime lives in fluster mode.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think... D5 might be safer.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC opens D5 and throws Ori's shirt in
<Xanatos> <Kellin> D5 or K23
<DeathStar> *it's frozen and shatters*
<Seraphna> Jaime> If I'm right it's the room with the lowest value.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Guess now.
<Seraphna> *not
<Xanatos> <Xan> My shirt's turn. 6 He throws it in K23
<DeathStar> *it lives*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Climbs down*
<Seraphna> Jaime> So... not values...
<DeathStar> *Shion and climbs down*
<Seraphna> * Jaime sighs and follows, climbing down.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Maybe it's completely random.
<DeathStar> <Shion> I believe it has to do with the letters and the numbers.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So what is the pattern?" *starts down too*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC drops down
<DeathStar> <Shion> The letters may act as a numbers
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Like guards get a list of numbers and stuff. 6*He hops down
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well D5 would equal... 9?
<DeathStar> <Shion> Does not mean it's math
<DeathStar> <Shion> We just do not know what it means
<Sathen> *Orihime follows along behind them*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC looks around
<DeathStar> <Shion> Here, lets think
<Xanatos> <Xan> Could be. K23 is...44?
<Xanatos> 34
<DeathStar> <Shion> Before we go on.
<DeathStar> <Shion> W as number by itself
<Xanatos> <Kellin> It's 23
<DeathStar> *Shion nods*
<DeathStar> <Shion> And K?
<Xanatos> <Xan> 11
<Seraphna> Jaime> 11
<DeathStar> <Shion> Hm. Alright. Lets keep going
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So look for an 11 in the next door."
<Xanatos> 6* Xan looks up from counting on his fingers.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Oh, interesting idea. 6* He looks for the numbers in the next room.
<DeathStar> *Erevis tries the east door and gets C2. The north door is K6 and west door is T20. South door is K9*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Uh, no 11.
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> So you believe it's K9 then.
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuuu.
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC frowns. 1"There is two K's though..."
<Xanatos> <Xan> I think they're lost to us forever. This is too confusing.
<DeathStar> <Shion> Like I said, it is if we believe it is math. I do not remember what was paired with the W's
<DeathStar> <Shion> The first one was C
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yeah, who came upo with this?!"
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> 14 and 2
<DeathStar> <Shion> C2
<DeathStar> <Shion> I remember that
<DeathStar> <Shion> So that should be safe
<DeathStar> <Shion> What is C as a letter?
<Sathen> Orihime> 3
<Seraphna> Jaime> Should be 3.
<DeathStar> <Shion> 3 an 2. Okay.
<DeathStar> *Shion opens C2 and goes east
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...is she dead? 6* He glances in.
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> This was a repeat was it not? She peers in
<Seraphna> * Jaime peeks. "Shion?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> Fine
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Did we just go in a circle? 6* He steps in after Shion
<Seraphna> * Jaime follows.
<DeathStar> *Lemon moves in as does X who looks annoyed
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC steps in.
<DeathStar> <Shion> No we're one level down
<DeathStar> *Shion points up at the hatches above them*
<DeathStar> <Shion> I guess we should be checking them too
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Maybe its like a spiral staircase."
<Seraphna> Cookie> I say we find whatever is dampening our powers and smash it. Smash it good. X, do you agree with Smashing?
<Sathen> Orihime> Of course Shion's fine...she won't keel over until she's lost her precious virginity.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan shrugs and moves to check each of those hatches too.
<DeathStar> *Shion jerks*
<DeathStar> <Shion> W-W-What? *she squeaks like a kid*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC looks at all the hatches
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks around dizzy*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *points at Ori* "Not cool!"
<Seraphna> Reese> Let's focus.
<Sathen> *Orihime smiles* Sibling banter...it's fine.
<DeathStar> *North F20, south Q23, East nothing - they are at the edge again, up top is a kill number to save time*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC takes one of her shoes off and throws it in F20
<DeathStar> <X> I want to kill something
<DeathStar> *a gas is released to poison the room. It begins to head to the hatch*
<ChadWinters> 6SPoC quickly closes it
<DeathStar> <Shion> F - 6.
<DeathStar> <Shion> 6. 20
<DeathStar> <Shion> I am going to judge both numbers seperate from here on out
<DeathStar> <Shion> Q... Q is...
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> 17
<DeathStar> <Shion> 17. 23
<ChadWinters> <SPOC> Odd, even?
<Sathen> Orihime> Odd, Odd.
<DeathStar> <Shion> *X throws a shirt in and it survives*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I think we are making progress
<Xanatos> <Xan> Slowly
<ChadWinters> <SPoC> But did we not go through one named labeled W 14?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The only even one so far was 2
<Seraphna> Si> W4.
<Seraphna> Si> Is what we went through.
<Xanatos> <Xan> W2.
<Seraphna> * Jaime checks her notes.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yep, W2.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> The Prisoners-
<DeathStar> (one sec)
<DeathStar> *Having made it bck to W3, they traveled up to E5, then went down a level to G5 then up to B11*
<DeathStar> *saved you a bit of time*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Fucking kill me. Come'on blood loss. Take me now.
* ChadWinters peers around at the B11 room.
<DeathStar> *to the east there is still nothing, hvaing been traveling on the very edge so far. To the west is A4 and north is Q17*
<Seraphna> * Angela pokes his wound. "Nope, still can't heal."
<DeathStar> *Taiga and Yuki are taking notes with the numbers*
<Xanatos> <Kane> Q17 then?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Sure. 6He moves to it and throws his shoe in it
<DeathStar> *and the floor is...*
<DeathStar> M13*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Yeah... I'm going to eat Marcus soon..."
<DeathStar> *it safely makes it*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> He's all lean meat.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Just chewy muscle
<ChadWinters> 6Durt shrugs. 1"It's safe apparently."
<Xanatos> * My people move into the room.
<Seraphna> * Sera's tribes migrate to the next room.
<ChadWinters> 6Chad and his people move in
<Orthogon> *Rada goes*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *moves into the room*
<DeathStar> *they move in. At that moment the rooms begin to shift as if the guards know what they are up to and are trying to shift the rooms. TAiga looks as the cube begins to shift positions*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... Move move move
<DeathStar> *She dives int othe next room*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina blinks and hurries*
<kalonZombee> 6*kalon's people rush to the next room
<Seraphna> * Sera's people rush through.
* ChadWinters 's team quickly moves for the next room
<Orthogon> <Rada> What the shit? *runs*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan's people does the same
<ChadWinters> Seem they are watching us.
<DeathStar> *Taiga and Yuki hurry int othe safe room*
<DeathStar> *As does Sabrina, Zegretta and Wyrd. The hatch closes as the rumbling ends.*
<Orthogon> <Rada> So it's NOT just automated. We're being gamed.
<Stretch`cell> *my chars hurry in*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *moves along*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The good thing is I think I know how to solve our way out
<Seraphna> Angela> THat's a relief.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But ... I'm not positive
<ChadWinters> Barring they didn't decide to change it all up
<Xanatos> <Kane> You've found the pattern? It seemed to be ascending odds there for a moment.
<Seraphna> Angela> No no, be positive my niece.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *she opens the hatch and looks at the room behind them now having T20*
<Stretch`cell> Jelly> Hooray...now lead us out Jailbait Momma.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Okay, smart people tell me what you think
<DeathStar> <Taiga> B is what number?
<Seraphna> Angela> 2?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And it has what number after it?
<Seraphna> * Angela looks to see.
<DeathStar> (It was 11)
<Seraphna> Angela> 11?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Are you seriously asking us what comes after 2? It's 3 obviously.
<Xanatos> 6* Kane just stares
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... Marcus... *she says in a sad tone*
<Seraphna> * ANgela pokes Marcus' wound again.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus hisses
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Okay, so that's one exmaple. 2. 11.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Now. What number is G.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And what was it paired with
<Seraphna> Angela> 7.
<Xanatos> <Kane> It was paired with 5.
<Orthogon> <Rada> It was paired with 13 a while back, too.
<Seraphna> Angela> Even. Odd... Odd, Odd?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Maybe. I don't think you add them at least
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But other odds have failed
<Orthogon> <Rada> But I9 was a trap.
<DeathStar> Like that I9.
<ChadWinters> We went odd odd, odd odd, odd odd then even odd I believe
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm thinking something more. What else is 5, 7, 11
<Orthogon> <Rada> primes?
<DeathStar> *she checks the north door which is Q23 and has ... Erevis' team*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> AaaH! <Taiga> Aaah!
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Oh, hey.
<Seraphna> Angela> "Dear god, they're diabolical. Math."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "finally! I was going to eat Marcus becaus ehe is wounded!"
<kalonZombee> 6*Gor blinks, then runs to Si and kisses her
<Xanatos> <Kane> Ah, my prime theory is back!
<Seraphna> * Si fuus and kisses back.
<Orthogon> <Rada> So, 17 - 23 is prime - prime.
<Sathen> Damian> Finally, now get us back the way you came so we can escape this damn place!
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I can't but feel like they are quietly laughing at the use of Prime.
<Orthogon> <Rada> but wait...didn't something happen back there that made us question that?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Uh were you in the prison too? 6* He asks the Erevis group.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The Prime Universe
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We're armed to the teeth, and you think we were locked up?"
<DeathStar> *Lemon tackle hugs Kane*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We are here to rescue you
<ChadWinters> We've got everybody and a stowaway. 6He notes to Erevis, motioning at the Tsiv
<DeathStar> *the pirate Tsivrixsh poses*
<Xanatos> <Kane> Well we thought the path had to go forward but both of the rooms that 'disproved' my prime theory ended up being traps-6* He hurks at being tackled.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh thank god, please show us the way out.
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> I will get you out of here
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... .... How did we get here again?
<Orthogon> <Rada> oh well, getting out is getting out.
<Seraphna> * Jaime holds up her notebook.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> A bunch of W rooms?
<Xanatos> (Er Xan)
<Seraphna> Jaime> I have a map.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .. lets just fine prime prime rooms
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I want to punch something....HEY X! 6He waves
<DeathStar> <X> ... so you are still alive
<Sathen> Orihime> Let's discuss this later and get out so I don't blow the entire place to smithereens Grandma...
<DeathStar> *the room begins to shake as they begin to shift it*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin checks on Michelle quickly. Pepper latches onto Cookie and wail-cries
<ChadWinters> We need to get moving quickly
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Fuckers!
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .. *checks and moves north*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> North
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Like some pathetic criminals can stop me. 6His group moves
<Xanatos> 6* Xan stumbles a bit, then he and all my other characters follow Taiga.
<Seraphna> * Cookie hugs jer close and starts moving, as does Sera's others. Michelle hugging on Kellin.
<DeathStar> *Wyrd pants as she tries to follow - badly out of shape without her powers. Sabrina hurries too*
<Jackieness> 6* Rei and Moira move.
<Sathen> *all of mine head out*
<Seraphna> * Truth piucks up Wyrd and carries her.
<DeathStar> *Taiga checks the doors* West
<Seraphna> Truth> I came here for you, I'm leaving with you. **she huffs**
<DeathStar> *she opens it then looks around, checking.* Up. *she climbs the ladder and opens the hatch
<DeathStar> *Shion follows along, pushing her sister with a look and hugging Hi*
<DeathStar> <Shion> Come on mom
<Seraphna> * Sera's people move, helping those too slow to move as fast.
<Xanatos> <Kane> Ha, Prime numbers! I knew it. 6* He looks proud of himself, moving as quickly as he can.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *she hmphs*
<Orthogon> *Rada pats Kane on the back*
<Seraphna> * Si pats Taiga on the butt. "Good work.:
<DeathStar> *they soon reach the exit. As they cross the theshhold their powers return*
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek stands there with his arms crossed.
<Seraphna> Tabetha and Cookie> I can seeeee!
<DeathStar> <Taiga> H-Hey... *Wyrd pants as her powers return. Drasek and Lorelei have found what looks to be new armor*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Ok... let's mess this place up!" *shifts back into Noire*
<DeathStar> *in the corner. Who knows where they found it*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias grins a bit. 1"Now I feel like I could punch a hole through this place.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Nother few minutes an I'd planned to start blasting the place up.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt waves to Lore. 1"Kids are safe."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We located this as the latest shipment for the guards and took it. And good luck
<Seraphna> Angela> Well, let's gear up, get the families on board and kick some ass.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *comm* "Might I suggest we evacuate everyone to the Aquarius?"
<DeathStar> *she nods to Durt and pats Valen. Rachael tackle hugs Valen*
<Seraphna> * Cookie starts leading people, especially the families, to board the Aquarius.
<Sathen> *Ori hugs onto Shion, breathing deeply once they're out* Alright...now I want to melt the hell out of this place
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ohhhhh that's the stuff. 6* He says as his wolf dna kicks in and starts healing his wound.
<ChadWinters> Were you able to find our stuf they took?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes, let us hurry to a ship. <X> ...
<Xanatos> <Valen> This place suuuuucked. 6* He tells Rachael.
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> <Good, I'm back in your head again.>
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Yes, oddly enough your equipment was up here too
<ChadWinters> Good.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan hmms and moves to go get his shuttle prepped
<DeathStar> *she nods at the pile - all their equipment up here. Perhaps thanks to Asarar*
<Seraphna> * Angela starts passing gear out to people.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I wonder what Asarar is up to in there?
<DeathStar> *Rachael grabs new armor and equipment. Passing it out*
* ChadWinters quickly moves over to it, grabbing his holster and and quickly putting it in. He grabs the rest of his stuff, sliding his tool belt on.
<Seraphna> * Angela rubs her head. "It'll take a few for our escort to arrive, but we shouldn't wait."
<DeathStar> *as the teams move to their respective ships, the Aquarius picks up sensors of incoming ships*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We have inbound ships."
<ChadWinters> 6Cel grabs her stuff.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Marcus let's punch them out of the space.
<Seraphna> Angela> And this would be why I called in the Betas... fuck.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Punch...ships? Only if we had our gears.
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Dragon?
<kalonZombee> <Gor> <Should we fuse?>
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Come to the Aquarius - we have spare gears here.
<DeathStar> *Yuki buckles in and begins to prepare*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Roger Roger. 6* he moves in, Valen and Pepper both move into the Aquarius.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> You hear that Marcus. X? We can punch things in space
<ChadWinters> 6Dias moves with Marcus, giddy like a child
<DeathStar> <X> Do what you want
<Seraphna> * Angela muses. Heading with the others. "Let's see what we have for gear options."
* ChadWinters moves to the shuttle they came on while Cel and Durt do their thing
<DeathStar> *Yuki turns to Rada*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "They could dock their shuttle in the Aquarius' hangar until we are out of harm's way."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yep. I'm doing that. 6* he moves the shuttle into the hanger. Kellin also moves onto the Aquarius
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Handle the bridge for me Rada
<Seraphna> * Cookie heads up to the Aquarius' bridge and gets the ship ready to fly.
<ChadWinters> 6Chad brings their ride into the Aquarius' hanger if there's room
<Seraphna> Cookie> Oh Mireiiiii, we have butts to kick.
<Orthogon> <Rada> Sure. *heads to the bridge to do bridge handling things*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> GIVE ME ACCESS TO THE GUNS I'M SO MAD. 6* She says, finally feeling better that she's on the bridge of the Aquarius.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Right!
<DeathStar> *after a moment, a massive Gear appears with a few ships for the Aquarius to fight. The Gear flies forth and those with Gears get their first mini Gear boss battle. One second
<DeathStar> -PAUSe-
* kalonZombie has joined #TAW-Anniversary21
* kalonZombee has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 202 seconds)
* DeathStar changes topic to 'Si, Durt, Kaelan, Angela, the boss, Kellin, Reese, the rest of you (you all can fight for order jesus so many)'
* DeathStar changes topic to 'rest of you (you all can fight for order jesus so many)'
<DeathStar> -Begin-
<DeathStar> *the fastest may begin*
<Seraphna> * Reese keeps his distance and starts firing away with his Sniper Rifle.
<Seraphna> --(40 Power)
<ChadWinters> <Cel> I'll go after the ships to keep them off the Aquarius. 6She flies in for one of the ships, streaking through and slashing at it and it's shields (20)
<Xanatos> 6* Kane has a big Sniper blaster thingy too and fires at...the boss? (30 power)
<DeathStar> *The massive Gear is hit twice for 50 damage, then 40 damage by Reese, sparking and looks ready to fall apart*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus moves with Cel, a bit slower than her but has energy claws and follows up after her attack (power 30). Kellin shoots his hand blasters as well(Power 50)
<DeathStar> *the massive gear begins to blow up - it's why you don't build them so big*
<DeathStar> *after the massive explosions, the second form appears, smaller and less armored*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan shoots it to make sure it's real dead? Or are there smaller enemies to take on?
<Seraphna> Angela> It's one of those suits inside a suit deals! If that's a deal!
<DeathStar> (how much damage does Xan do*
<Xanatos> (30, sorry)
<DeathStar> *it spins from the damage but survives*
<DeathStar> *it aims and targets ... oh .... I really have no idea on your armor so.... targets Kellin and fires 30 damage*
<Xanatos> (He only has 20)
<Seraphna> * Kaelan interposes her gear in the way if she can.
<DeathStar> (Well I decided before you can expend stuff to protect -- or that*
<DeathStar> (that works)
<Seraphna> (Kaelan's has a meaty 60 )
<DeathStar> *Kaelan takes the hit*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Eeep! Whooo! Knew that extra armor was a good idea.
<DeathStar> *Kaelan's turn is used up*
<Seraphna> * Angela levels her cannon and fires a blast of green energy. (50 power)
<DeathStar> *Even if it used up it's energy to absorb it, that's too much and it blows up*
<DeathStar> *no third form*
<Seraphna> * Si pouts. "Moooom. I was gonna slash it!"
<DeathStar> *meanwhile*
<Seraphna> Angela> "Let's help the Aquarius."
<DeathStar> *the capital ships begin to surround the Aquarius*
<DeathStar> *aiming at it*
<Sara> <Erica> That's... bad.
<DeathStar> *at that moment a friendly ship exits the Cube - Asarar's ship with her crew and another - the Mew Mew Mew Ship*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> LET ME SHOOT THEM ALL PLEASE.
<Seraphna> * Jaime frowns, and then pulls out her spirit items, she summons Gnome.
<DeathStar> <Asarar on comm> Sounds like you need some help. Consider this us owing you
<DeathStar> *Asarar's ship begins to target the capital ships while Cypher peers back at Chelsea*
<Sara> <Erica> Yeah, it's not looking good.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Shields are up, captain. The enemy gear has been destroyed."
<Sara> * Chelsea frowns but nods to Cypher.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Let's join in.
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper shoots all them guns whenever she can.
<DeathStar> *Cypher nods and has Aimee activate their spirit engine, the Mew Mew Ship begins to unleash spirit blasts at the capital ships. Yuki meanwhile works on powering up the Aquarius with Airym*
<Seraphna> * Angela's Betas, riding the wake of the other ships, split off and help to attack. Not many like her old days, but still, every bit helps.
<Sara> * Erica meanwhile stays in her chair keeping an eye on all of the status reports and read-outs.
<DeathStar> *Darien shifts off to target the capital ships and fire away*
<Seraphna> * Jaime focusing on her summoning, hoping to add some rocky help to the fight.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> So my sister is alive after all...
<Sara> <Chelsea> Yeah... Asarar...
<DeathStar> *group OG - prepare yourselves*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias comes running on to the bridge, breathing heavy. 1"None of those gears are left handed."
<Seraphna> * Cookie uses Battlemind to help the group OG.

<DeathStar> <Mireille> Permission to unleash the Spirit Weapons
<Sara> <Erica> Granted like a million times over, hon.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Go for it.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Should we really be blowing up EarthGov's fleet? I mean their might be innocent people on it
<DeathStar> *Mireille sinks into the floor and powers up the Aquarius. The EarthGov fleet, with one or two Cartel and Tsivrixsh fleet begins to form tendrils of Dark energy*
<DeathStar> *to try to suck up the spirit energy*
<Seraphna> * Jaime, if she gets Gnome, proceeds to gather up particles in space and send them hurtling at fighters like tiny missles.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Been a long time since I've seen that
<DeathStar> *she notes coming on the bridge*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Does that answer your question president dingus!?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> ....Or not. Definetly evil
<Jackieness> <Airym> "they have deployed anti-Spirit countermeasures, captain."
<DeathStar> *Gnome appears beside Jaime*
<Seraphna> * Jaime pulls her close. "We need to stop those spirit crushing monstrosities."
<DeathStar> *Yuki sits by Rada and Erica, eyeing the capital ships. Three of the four begin to get crushed*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> They are weakening
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Punch them with this ships weapons!
<Xanatos> <Pepper> I'm pushing the shoot button as much as I can!
<ChadWinters> <Dias> And a wonderful job of it!
<Jackieness> <Airym> *tunes the sensors* "I am scanning them to try to gather as much data on their capabilities as possible."
<Seraphna> * Jaime keeps working on the fighters, sending particles in space around like free floating missles, with the added advantage of only coming up as rocks on radar.
<DeathStar> *a dark tendril scoops p all the Gears and traps them*
<DeathStar> *leaving the three ships left*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Target that tendril.
<Sara> <Erica> Well, fuck. Yeah. Pepper, if you would.
<DeathStar> *Taiga leans forward* That is not good
<ChadWinters> And if they move them infront of the blasts?
<DeathStar> *the capital ship with the gear begins to turn to escape*
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper shouts something and fires at the tendrils
<Seraphna> * Jaime frowns and puts her own energy into it, sending particles directly into that ship's engines.

<ChadWinters> Can you target their engines?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Working on it!
<Seraphna> * Jaime keeps basically trying to crud out their engines.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Sure, I'll do everything! 6* She targets the engines and fires if they have any energy left.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Hm. *she leans forward in the seat by Rada and ERica*
<DeathStar> *Cypher peers at chelsea*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Any ideas?
<DeathStar> *The engines take hits and one ship stops dead, while the other two continue*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Not much. I'm a little reluctant to blast enemies that are specifically retreating... but it looks like the Aquarius is trying. I guess we have to...
<Seraphna> * Angela sends her betas after one of the other ships, working to disable it.
<DeathStar> *Cypher nods and pushes the Mew Mew forward and begins tries to fire at the engines. The enemies leave behind an orb in the system as they exit*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Rada can can you scan that
* ChadWinters narrows his eyes. 1"I don't like that."
<Seraphna> Cookie> Whatever that is, I guarantee it's bad.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Scanning foreign object." *scans the orb*
<DeathStar> *Taiga taps a comm* All ships can you get back to the Aquarius' hanger
<Orthogon> <Rada> Roger, scannning...
<Seraphna> * Sera's gears all head back.
<DeathStar> *the orb begins to grow larger every 33 seconds*
<Orthogon> <Rada> What.....
<Xanatos> 6* Xan's people move their gears and shuttle back towards the aquarius
<ChadWinters> 6Cel and Durt follow
<Seraphna> * Angela reluctantly withdraws the Betas to the hangar as well.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> ...should I shoot it?
<Sara> <Erica> Hold your fire.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Is that...a singularity orb?
<DeathStar> *and Rada and Airym would detect it has unstable energy in it*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Ooookay
<Jackieness> <Airym> "It is highly unstable."
<DeathStar> *Cypher lands the Mew Mew in the hanger as does Asarar*
<Orthogon> <Rada> don't get even remotely close or you're dead.
* ChadWinters glances over at the terminal for the reading output
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I do not think I have ever seen anything like it before.
<Seraphna> Angela> We should withdraw. *She says on the comms as she gets out of her mech.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I agree Erica
<DeathStar> <Taiga> They might be trying to erase this prison
<ChadWinters> Seem's like a scorch earth policy.
<Sara> <Erica> Send a warning to the prison and get us out of here.
<Seraphna> Jaime> That's exactly what they're trying to do if it's what I think it is. Momma Meg's tech doesn't leave evidence.
<Orthogon> <Rada> It's probably too late for them, unfortunately.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Or anything really.
<Sara> <Erica> Probably, but I'd feel worse if I didn't at least try.
<Seraphna> * Cookie comms the prison, warning them of the thing.
<DeathStar> *Rada, if he's a math guy might know that when it reaches a certain size that somethign bad will happen*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Can we...cause it to prematurely implode?
<DeathStar> *Yuki leans over to do just that*
<Seraphna> * Cookie then moves the ship, taking them away from it on a course and gets them ready to jump.
<DeathStar> *Mireille pops out, looking tireD*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We could attempt to tow it and use a hyperspace jump to slingshot it."
<ChadWinters> I'm worried if we get to close we might not be able to get away
<Sara> <Erica> I'm open to ideas, but we're not in great shape. Towing sounds... bad.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Shoot a nuke at it!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *she taps at a nearby planet*
<Orthogon> <Rada> Like I said, don't get near it at all.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Head there
<Seraphna> * Cookie blinks, but redirects the ship.
<Sara> <Erica> A... nuke. You want to shoot a nuke at it. What? Cookie, put in Erevis' course.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It's 2 jumps away
<DeathStar> *It is
<Seraphna> Cookie> Course laid.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Then jump us. I think that thing is about to do something. *Rada likely would give them 33 smore seconds*
<Seraphna> * Cookie peers back at her mother, who is currently glomping Leira.
<Seraphna> * Cookie jumps the ship.
<DeathStar> *they appear over a peaceful looking planet. The readings on the previous system show the formation of what looks to be something akin to a sun attempting to form but naturally the energy is not there*
<ChadWinters> It's fair to say nothing survived there
<Seraphna> Jaime> Reminds me a lot of Mom's technology.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *shakes her head* What is EarthGov trying to invest in these days
<DeathStar> *she pats Rada and moves off*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Good question!
<Seraphna> * Jaime sits and pulls Gnome into her lap.
<DeathStar> -Epilogue-
<DeathStar> 6* The various teams are together for the first time in a while. Sabrina bounces with her magic back, shooting beams*
<DeathStar> *Asarar and Cypher size each other up*
<Seraphna> * Luci waves at the others.
<DeathStar> <X> I suppose it is time to go back to the moon and see if Warren is done setting up the base.
<ChadWinters> It would be a good idea.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah, I bet he didn't even know we were in prison.
<DeathStar> *X eyes Sabrina, noting a maka would be useful to detect shapeshifters*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well, have fun fighting shapeshifters, we're going to go back to dealing with corrupted spirits.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is much more civilized
<Sara> * Erica is performing a mourning ritual for the people at the prison
<DeathStar> <Taiga> At least my group is seeing the universe
* ChadWinters glnaces over at Erevis and Xan. 1"Good luck with them."
<Seraphna> * Truth sits with Wyrd, looking down.
<Xanatos> <Valen> THE SHITTY CARTEL PART 6* He chime sin
<DeathStar> *the pirate Tsivrixsh is studying the various shuttles, debating stealing one*
<Xanatos> (chimes in)
<DeathStar> *Rachael bops him*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt bonks Valen with Rachael's assistance
<Seraphna> * Tabetha bops the Tsivrixsh.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh you know you are spying on us. You cannot resist seeing my Xanatos naked
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh scowls*
<Xanatos> <Xan> With your stupid robot.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> We will give you a ride. Stop planning to steal.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> ...I said stop it.
* ChadWinters blinks blankly at that. 1"That spends his time with who Aya works with?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kane hugs Lemon, looking relieved.
<DeathStar> *Lemon kisses Kane*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *turns to Rada*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Just passing a message but many of the people back home still ask about you
<Orthogon> <Rada> So, now that we're out of that...
<Seraphna> * Angela is busy checking on her kids / other people who were stolen. Including Zera if she was among them.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> You plan on going back any time soon?
<Xanatos> <Kane> Perhaps Jenny and Wade could stay with Xanatos and Erevis
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We do not mind
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah... maybe I could teach them a few things about spirits.
<ChadWinters> Nice eye by the way. 6He notes to Xan as he pauses as Cel walks up to him and starts talking to him
<Orthogon> <Rada> Back home? I don't really have a home anymore. I just wander.
<Seraphna> * Jaime bounces Gnome on her lap if she's still with them.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm going to teach them that monogomy is an illusion.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Well... Cy meant Geyze, of course.
<Xanatos> <Kane> ...
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Fair enough. Airell even asks about you sometimes
<Sara> <Chelsea> You should try to find the time to visit, anyhow.
<DeathStar> *Erevis leans in toward Chad* Did you enjoy the picture we sent you
<Orthogon> <Rada> What I said still holds. Geyze feels more like a place I lived.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek drinks off to the side, Kellin steps up and talks to him briefly, the two shaking hands after a bit.
<ChadWinters> 6Cel eyes Erevis then nods to Chad moving over to her team
<DeathStar> *Cypher eyes Asarar who walks over finally*
<ChadWinters> Picture?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So how are you doing Chelsea?
<DeathStar> *Erevis shows Chad the picture of her and Aya*
<Sara> * Chelsea's face briefly screws up as she tries to figure out how she's feeling. "U-Um, w-well... Geyze is fairly peaceful..." she mutters out awkwardly.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina peers at Reikana's chest then Moira's*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Another one for the harem.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> .... *hangs head*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I am glad. *she hands Chelsea some pictures of the kids then moves to go*
<Orthogon> <Rada> Oh? And what is it you do there nowadays, Chelsea?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Maybe after I finish this job I will stop by
* ChadWinters studies it. 1"She's just as perfect as the last time I saw her." 6He then looks at Xan. 1"If it's what she wants." 6He shrugs
<Seraphna> Luci> Would be nice to let the kids catch up.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Don't worry Dad, I'm sure it's secretly eroding his sanity.
<DeathStar> *Aimee runs up to Rada and studies him, the spirit kid standing on tip toes*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh I know it is.
<DeathStar> *Darien muses and leans in to Marcus*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Me? We're with the Alliance... just trying to keep the place as safe as we can.
<DeathStar> <Darien> While we have spirit people here we might should ask them about making pacts with them
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses, tilting his head up towards Darien.
<Orthogon> <Rada> *stares at Aimee* well Hello, there.
<Sara> <Chelsea> ...So our daughters can live in peace.
<ChadWinters> She married Dawn. Not much you could do beyond that. 6He notes off-handedly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> *he points at Gnome* Just in case
<Seraphna> Luci> I'm putting mine through one of those fancy colleges at this point.
<Sara> * She notes, as Aimée shows up
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah, I guess so. 6* He grabs Jaime and makes her explain how it works.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias moves from person to person, quickly reassessing then before sliding up behind X.
<Seraphna> * Jaime hugs Gnome close and whispers things to her.
<Seraphna> * Jaime blinks when grabbed.
<Seraphna> Jaime> H-Hey.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> No whispering, tell us the secret to spirit power!
<Seraphna> Jaime> You have to make friends.
<Sara> * Chelsea's ears twitch listening in on the spirit conversation
<Orthogon> <Rada> Erevis. When have you last spoken to the Empress?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Did you come all the way to a near impossible to escape prison just to save me?!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Not in a while. But she has spoken to Drasek. He told me that they talked and it was... not quite what he expected
<Seraphna> Jaime> They're people just like you and me, just with powers. All you have to do is ask them and pass their tests.
<DeathStar> *she muses* I am not sure what to think
<Seraphna> Jaime> Gnome here is very particular about who she accepts a pact with. Has the best taste.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I did plan to speak with her recently but this prison thing came up
<DeathStar> <Gnome> IF you wish to make pacts I can call my sisters
<Seraphna> * Jaime beams.
<DeathStar> *Erevis moves to talk to RAda about the Empress in Minis
<DeathStar> -Scene Shift-
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Even Chronos?
<Orthogon> <Rada>You should. There's something significant that we all have to be prepared for soon, and any conflict between you should be resolved by then.
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> *Sunny is in a ship, having escaped with Asarar but with her is all the prisoners of the Cube - havig gotten them out like planned
<DeathStar> *Zayne peers back*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> You really think they can help with the corrupt senators on the moon?
<Sara> <Sunny> More than a little, even. Not exactly the nicest lot, but they will do. *smile* And we have saved the government from losing all of its investment. *she jokes, or is it a joke?*
<DeathStar> *Zayne thinks on that and nods, taking notes, feeding the little pet on her shoulder* I understand. *she peers out the window*
<DeathStar> -END-
* Sara has left #TAW-Anniversary21
* Jackieness has quit IRC
