<DeathStar> Date: 10-639.6.9
<DeathStar> Location: Manus Di's Basement
<DeathStar> 6* Tsukiyomi floats there, not even noticing the team. Her power does not seem to be as strong as it could be - perhaps due to either it being day time or other reasons that will be revealed in the next phase. She is the moon goddess and right now she looks very angry, especially at Manus Di. She points at her, her power making the basement a bit unstable and she could be a threat to the team, too
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Does anyone know who this is? 6He glances at Lore and then the others
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Tsukiyomi, the Kitsune Moon Goddess. Ama's sister.
<Xanatos> <Valen and Kellin> Nope
<kalonZombee> 6*A rabbit dressed in a silvery kimono leaps in, looking at Tsuki
<kalonZombee> <Thara> Dear, you might not want to kill the children while killing this thing.
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> I remember what you "Gods" did to me in the moon. You especially enjoyed torturing me when I was chained up in Gartaeh's machine. <Manus> How? That was in another timeline. How do YOU remember? <Tsukiyomi> I am a real God. I remember things in many planes. *she notes - who knows if she is bluffing.*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Yeah, nope. Doesn't ring a bell
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...hey... is that a Gitari god that just showed up too?"
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> This just keeps getting weirder and weirder.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Ignore them unless they become a problem
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi lands, not responding. For now though Round 2 begins*
<DeathStar> *Zegretta flashes for 8 damage*
<kalonZombee> 6*Leruste leaps in, using Human Blue to attack twice, stabbing Manus in vital areas... well... vital for humans, anyway
<DeathStar> *Manus strains to rise from the knock down last round, taking the hits*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin begins to flicker a bit as aspects of his skin burns a way to reveal the hyperspace energy within. [Double Speed and Strength]
<Seraphna> **Michelle blows an Abilities to recharge Blackfeather and keeps up her hail of arrows.** [Blackfeather: Strength multipler (+3 for 7) x 2 + 10 Weapon Damage = 30 damage]
<DeathStar> *Lorelei steps up since Manus is down - one second
<DeathStar> *Lorelei does lightning damage - 20 Damage + Lightning Damage*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen runs in and brings his sword around in an upper slash to scrape along the ground to the downed Manus. [7 Damage]
<Jackieness> <Moira> *burns an ability point to recover and then steps forward, slashing ehr blade down low while Manus is still down. [Kenjutsu: Strength multipler x 2 + 8 Weapon Damage = 18 damage and Critical Chance (1 in 2 with Bleed Damage)]
<DeathStar> *what limb will you target*
<Jackieness> ((Her whip arm))
<DeathStar> *Manus curses*
<Sara> * Kaori just fires her cannon normally at Manus
<ChadWinters> 6Durt tenses up, activating his weapon abilities Stength of Hercules/Armor of Achilles. (Doubles Strength)
<DeathStar> *Rachael steps up and does Wind Slice 20 Damage + Wind Damage. However being a Water element, the Wind does more Damage. So another 10. (I think I remember what I wrote for Elemental Damage. If not it was double damage but oh well)
<Seraphna> ** Kaelan leaps and strikes, seeming like she's going to come down with her sword but instead rams her shield straight into Manus, foxfire energy flooding off her and the shield as she strikes** [[Shield Bash: 50 Damage + Stun]]
<DeathStar> (One second, I'm just eyeing Kaelan now)
<DeathStar> *McTreggor powers up a strange move for his turn*
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi powers up but due to her strange state the dice rolls - 1 and 2 she hits Manus, 3 she hits the team, 4 a wall, 5 the ceiling again which is in bad shape*
<kalonZombee> 6*Thara leaps up, seemingly with no weapons at first, but faster than anyone can blink, two katanas come out from her kimono sleeves and slash at Manus's back
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi hits the team with her strange powers, hitting pretty hard for 6 HP damage. She pauses and it seems to snap her out of it at least and she lands.* Ah.. .s-sorry....
<ChadWinters> 6Durt stumbles back from the hit, moving his hands up above his face to protect it.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan seems to have to work hard to keep her anger directed, but thankfully for her that only got her armor.*
<kalonZombee> 6*Leruste whines, wanting to hide again now
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin cuts in at the top of the round to blast at Manus with his pistol [9 hp]
<DeathStar> *Manus is hit, still stunned thanks to a certain perso nwho will die if she survives this round*
<DeathStar> *Zegretta slashes for 7 again*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... *she studies Manus*
<kalonZombee> 6*Leruste burns an action point and uses Human Blur for two attacks again, hitting for 14
<DeathStar> *hitting 200 exactly, Manus begins to glow, as if her body is preparing something but remains stunned*
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> ...Do we run?
<Seraphna> *Michelle uses Kinetics on a standard arrow, doubling the Damage as she increases its speed midair** [[20 Damage]]
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I do not like this
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin burns an ability points (now 4/5) to recharge his Bustah and launches it out again. [20 + Hyperspace]
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Agreed. Last one didn't do this.
<DeathStar> (I just stopped burning!)
<Xanatos> <Valen> I can pin her down so Lorelei can do her mojo!
<Sara> <Kaori> I could take out the floor and see what happens
<DeathStar> *she dips below 150 finally and she rises to her feet, suddenly cutting in and shaking the stun off*
<Sara> <Kaori> ...But we *are* in a basement
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Everyone get ready.
<DeathStar> <Manus> ... *she wipes her mouth off*
<kalonZombee> <Thara> Don't even think of pulling anything funny.
<DeathStar> *Manus uses her turn to heal 20%, going back up to 270*
<DeathStar> <Manus> I cannot be stopped
<kalonZombee> <Thara> I've killed worse than you before.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei restores and does her 30 Damage attack*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> She can only heal so much. Let's show her what bringing on the pain REALLY means.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slides back around to his shield and kneels down to work on it, using his turn to get it active again(this is effectivelyh using an ability point to restore his Shield Fancy ability)
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We're going to stop you anyway!" *moves to the side and then dashes, slashing at Manus' other arm to keep her disarmed in case she gets back up, albeit a standard slash*
<DeathStar> <Manus> Pain? You want to see what pain is really like?
<Sara> * Kaori frowns, unsure if she should go for it... then uses her Explosive Blast to try to take out the floor
<Sara> (dice roll 1 of 2. Drops Enemy and makes then lose a turn and does 15 damage)
<ChadWinters> 6Durt shifts his footing, as his skin tone changes a bit, the floor creaking slightly as he activates Armor of Achilles. Nulls one Attack/Halves second)
<DeathStar> *there's an explosion and Manus ... vanishes*
<DeathStar> *there's a hole there*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "....AGAIN!?"
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> ...Did we win?
<kalonZombee> 6*Thara looks at Tsuki to see how she's doing
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... she might try to escape. *Tsukiyomi looks shamed for hitting children*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Apparently the greatest weakness of all the gods is a hole in the floor. Umm... let's make sure she doesn't get away?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> If it did open to something then we need to go after her.
<DeathStar> *Manus is down in a sub sectionthat looks like it might be sewerish. She is trying to rise*
<kalonZombee> 6*Thara moves over and hugs her after her blades vanish back into her kimono
<kalonZombee> <Thara> Shhh it's okay, you didn't mean to
<kalonZombee> <Thara> That's why I'm here, to help you
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Did it open to an escape tunnel? Or i everyone still them?"
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Pretty sure I'm still me.
<Seraphna> **Michelle pulls back an arrow if it's no longer battle order and fires a grappling arrow at her**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "also... what about everyone that Manus Dei was getting her freak on with?" *thumbs at Manus' 'guests'*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We will help them in a bit
<DeathStar> *she moves down into the lower level*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin and Valen both leap down seperately.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves after Lorelei, leaping down and landing with a loud thud
<Seraphna> **MIchelle leaps down, Kaelan assists those less fit with a Foxhole**
<kalonZombee> 6*Ler moves down with the rest, Thara moving to hop down as well
<Jackieness> <Moira> *leaps down into the hole*
<DeathStar> *the smell down here isn't great. Manus seems to be stunned due to the attack*
<DeathStar> *Rachael prepares her attack even though it's Durt's turn*
<DeathStar> *Zegretta makes an unhappy face down here*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan readies her weapons**
<ChadWinters> *Durt did his move, activating Armor of Achilles*
<Sara> * Kaori peers down from above and then hops down
<DeathStar> *Rachel restores her move and does 20 Damage + wind = 30 Damage*
<DeathStar> *Manus begins to glow again dropping below 200*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan brings her sword down on the woman glowing with Foxfire, then leaps back to be ready** [[Deadly Fang: 24 Damage + Foxfire]]
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Becareful she's about to do that weird thing again
<DeathStar> *her strength drops due to foxfire*
<kalonZombee> 6*Thara leaps over and rotates her blades so they point to the floor, then shoves them through her shoulders in an attempt to pin her
<DeathStar> *McTreggor finishes glowing and unleashes a weird holy attack from the sword doing a attack spin doing 50 damage*
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi points her finger and does a beam attack, doing 40 damage*
<DeathStar> *as this round ends, suddenly, Manus does her weird cut in, shrugging off the turn loss as the next round begins*
<DeathStar> *she basically rises with Thara in her*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I really hope she doesn't explode. My coat is already damaged from the moon good thing.
<DeathStar> *she coughs up blood and Manus holds her whip, her arms looking about useless, she grins, not caring about the body*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I could probably shrug off one more attack.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I fixed my shield but I need to do my magics one more time to power it up!
<DeathStar> *she headbutts Thara off her for 4 damage due to her reduced strength then leaps for Kaelan does her strongest move which is reduced 9 Damage. Sadly I never really got to do her double attacks in rage mode until now*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan burns an ability point for Shield Move and uses it to Block with her shield**
<Seraphna> ((1/2 ability left)
<DeathStar> (Does Kaelan have a cut in?)
<DeathStar> (Ah she does)
<Xanatos> (You can use defense abilties as a cut in)
<DeathStar> *Manus is repelled
<DeathStar> *Zegretta slashes for 7*
<DeathStar> *Manus is weaving - she looks ready to collapse*
<kalonZombee> 6*Leruste points behind Manus "HOLY SHIT IT'S GARTERAH!" (I'm Distracting You! [Dice roll to work, the gap rises with enemy level: automatic with small fry, medium enemies 1 to 2, boss enemies 1 to 3, high level bosses 1 to 4,.])
<DeathStar> *Manus narrows her eyes and points at Leruste* What is with you, boy? I will have your head..
<DeathStar> *she is not distracted*
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> IT WAS WORTH A SHOT!
<Seraphna> **Michelle uses the moment to line up another shot, burning an ability (2/4 left) to use Blackfeather again** [30 Damage]
<DeathStar> *Lorelei thumbs up Leruste - if it worked she would have ended it*
<DeathStar> *Manus stumbles*
<DeathStar> *one good hit will end this*
<Seraphna> Michelle> Finish it darlin'.
<DeathStar> *Manus tries to prepare a cut in*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Hm. 6* He uses a normal shot, going for a leg, then cuts in and does another for the opposite leg. [9+9 = 18hp Non-lethal]
<DeathStar> *Manus drops down and has 2 HP left. End FIGHT*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We did it. She won't escape the body. *she kneels and touches the woman who is coughing up blood and begins to focus, her hands glowing*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Rachael or whoever else can heal, get ready
<Xanatos> 6* Valen quickly runs over and gets read, holding the body down and preparing a heal with his last ability point.
<kalonZombee> 6*Thara walks over, holding onto the hilds of her swords, making sure the body can't get away at least
<DeathStar> *A moment or two passes and Lorelei opens her eyes* She is sealed
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi pauses a moment, musing and moves over*
<kalonZombee> <Thara> My Moon, what are you planning?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan lets out a breath, letting her rage energy wash away and looks a little tired from the pushing of her limits**
<Xanatos> 6* Valen heals the host body now, half HP
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I have some questions for while you two are here but the question is now do we deal with the other God here or call it quits
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Wooo... that went surprisingly well. Kaelan kept knocking her on her ass!"
<kalonZombee> 6*Thara pulls her swords out as Valen heals to mitigate the damage it would do
<DeathStar> *The maid blinks and opens her eyes* <Maid> ... where am I?
<DeathStar> <Maid> Why am I in this?!
<DeathStar> *she eyes the outfit*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Honestly, if we were gonna go after her, we'd want to do it right away but I don't think anyones ready for that.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It's easy when your enemy is twisted.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Boy is it a LONG story.
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> *she pats Thara* I'll answer in a bit. <Lorelei> LEt us hurry then. I just hope the others are having a neasier time
<Seraphna> **Kaelan looks to the maid** Very long story, welcome to the unwilling host club.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin slump down to his knees, his skin returning to flesh
<DeathStar> Location: Cartel Hub World
<DeathStar> 6* Sabrina sits in the prison and looks depessed
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I bring shame to the Maka name
* DeathStar changes topic to 'Act 1 | Phase 8 | Session 375: Harbinger of Pain and Torture -'
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "...why?"
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I am in prison
<Xanatos> <Pepper> OH I do not like it in here. LET ME OUTTTTTT. 6* She shouts out.
<Sara> <Erica> You're in prison to find something, rather than because you committed a crime. *she reminds Sabrina in a whisper*
<Seraphna> **Si has a doo rag on over her head and is sitting gangster style**
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "The only prison that matters is the one that you put yourself in."
<Seraphna> Si> Prison changes you. I am now an anti-hero.
<kalonZombee> 6*Gor sits kinda out of it without a datapad to keep him in the zone
<kalonZombee> <Gor> You've been in prison for 20 minutes, Si.
<Seraphna> **Cookie wraps around Pepper and gives her good feelings**
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> You think the other Makas will understand in the Maka conventions?
<Seraphna> Si> A lifetime in the hole, Gor.
<DeathStar> *Taiga paces*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It's been 2 days
<DeathStar> <TAiga> How long is Loki going to keep us in here
<Seraphna> Si> See? We've already lost track of time.
<ChadWinters> 6Cel glances around the cell. 1"I wonder how long they're gonna keep us waiting. If they even let us out.
<Seraphna> Si> I think we should join a gang.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "He has to make it look good."
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Or he doesn't plan on letting us out.
<kalonZombee> 6*Gor just looks at Si, a downswing starting
<Seraphna> *Si hugs him and kisses him* <Dear, we'll be fine. I'm just being silly to lighten the mood.>
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Ugh, this conversation is a prison.
<Sara> <Erica> She's not wrong.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Life is a prison.
<Sara> <Erica> Now that one I disagree with.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Maybe this is karma for me selling Jelly to that overly sexual woman
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Kidding. Not Kidding. Kidding
<Sara> <Erica> Is that not the type of woman Jelly likes?
<DeathStar> *some guards finally open the prison cell* <Guard> This way
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well I hear stories about that.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We all hear stories about that
<Sara> * Erica stands and leads the others along
<Seraphna> Cookie> Here we go.
<Seraphna> **Si bounces up and leads Gor along**
<ChadWinters> 6Cel pushes off the wall and moves out with the others.
<DeathStar> *the team is led through corridors and corridors that are designed to make one confused*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *rises and starts walking*
<kalonZombee> 6*Gor walks with Si, the downswing not too bad yet
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks about* Si, I think Gor needs post prison sex
<DeathStar> *Sabrina spins about, all happy to be out* I am a free magical girl
<kalonZombee> <Gor> I'll be fine once we get my datapad back.
<Seraphna> **Si nods and puts one of his hands on her chest** Yep, he's gonna get a perk me up.
<Sara> <Erica> I didn't need to know that... *she looks at those two*
<ChadWinters> 6Cel shudders a bit at that
<kalonZombee> 6*He squeezes "...Though that will help"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hear that? His datapad is more important than sex
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I tune anything out to do with Gor and sex. I learned that when he was on the Aquarius
<Seraphna> Si> It's the life I chose when I married him.
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper looks a bit relieved as she mood, draping her arms over cookie's back.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And with Kitty. *Taiga twitches a bit*
<Sara> <Erica> I think I started tuning it out when he first tried to have sex with the computer.
<Seraphna> **Cookie smiles and walks with Pepper**
<kalonZombee> <Gor> I never tried to have sex with the computer.
<Sara> <Erica> Sure.
<DeathStar> *Yuki slowly turns to look at Gor*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Seriously, why are the men in our groups little hacker perverts?
<kalonZombee> <Gor> I didn't!
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I'll make sure Cam never hears that
<DeathStar> <Yuki> She might gut you
<DeathStar> *they soon arrive at huge doors*
<DeathStar> *The guard knocks on the doors, alerting those inside - likely the Cartel leaders*
<DeathStar> *as they walk inside the entire Cartel council is seated outside the one that hates Valen and probably Shiva*
<DeathStar> *it is a circular room with them all in seats and the team is made to go into the center*
<DeathStar> *with Loki at the head of the circle*
<Sara> * Erica glances at Sabrina for a moment, before looking forward and walking to where they are meant to be
<ChadWinters> 6Loki sits at the head with the 6 split 3 on one side and 3 on the other.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina glances about, narrowing her eyes* There is definitely a bad guy here
<DeathStar> *she whispers*
<ChadWinters> *Sorry, 4 on one side, 3 on the other*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *whisper* "Then the moment in prison is worth while, i it not?"
<ChadWinters> <Loki> Before us stands the group that tried and very unsuccesfully mind you, kill me. In my own office of all places.
<Seraphna> **Cookie peers them over stoically while Si bounces on her heels nonchalantly**
<kalonZombee> 6*Gor just stands there, looking up and looking at the council
<ChadWinters> 6An older man with short black hair leans forward a bit. 1"And you think that's enough for us to waste our time with them here?
<Sara> * Erica looks around to see if they've been provided any sort of defender, taking in the room at the same time
<DeathStar> *Taiga shrugs*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I guess this rides on you Erica
<DeathStar> *she whispers*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina looks to the left, then right, then left, frowning*
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper straightens up and tilts her head to look at each of them. Trying to pick out any signs of shapeshifting.
<ChadWinters> <Loki> They pleaded they're case, said they were framed. Consider me curious and all that. You know how I enjoy a good story. 6He waves his hand towards Erica. 1"So? Do you plan on defending yourselfs? Or should I just have you all thrown in a penal prison to rot away. Or given the death penalty?
<Sara> <Erica> If we are the only ones willing to defend us, then we shall defend ourselves.
<DeathStar> *Yuki rubs Erica's back*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina pulls Erica to the side*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Oh. I think I know
<ChadWinters> 6A middle aged man, dressed in a business suit, slightly over weight. 1"I can provide you with a defender, for a cost of course." 6He chuckles to himself a bit
<Sara> * Erica listens to Sabrina, trying to look like there's no funny business about it
<DeathStar> *she points at a man. Taiga studies at who she points and leans over* <taiga> I think that might be Balthasar if I remember the names from the tournament. Perfect memory.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *whispers* But unless they provide us with tools to look into people it's almost like we're being left to hang
<Sara> <Erica> If I may present our opening argument?
<ChadWinters> 6Balthasar, a skinny young man, probably in his early 20's with short blonde hair, glances over to them. 1"Can we hurry this up? I have business to attend to that's more important than this.
<ChadWinters> <Loki> We're all ears.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina looks displeased still, looking around the room*
<Seraphna> **Cookie opens herself to surface thoughts as she stands by**
<ChadWinters> 6She get's nothing from them. Apparently the Cartel leaders don't trust telepaths
<Sara> <Erica> When we arrived at Loki's lovely office, we had been pre-announced and were expected. As we entered the room, all seemed as we would expect it. *she nods to Taiga to add some to this*
<ChadWinters> 6The 1st man that talked eyes Erica. 1"Tha'ts old news. Loki knows a lot of things when it comes to people entering his territory
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly just hangs out in the back of the group quietly, having been bored out of his mind since they took his datapad and other stuff*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Yes. *she puts a hand to her chin* It is a fact that in competition you all like to know where people are at? To get ahead of the game. Knowledge if power
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Not just Loki
<Xanatos> 6* A man in his early 30s sits at the table with bright blonde and girly hair, he has round glasses on his face and watches them all with a look that says he just smelled sewage.
<Xanatos> (curly not girly)
<ChadWinters> <Loki> I like this one. She's got a certain flair to her.
<kalonZombee> (Too late, already in my brainmeats)
<Sara> <Erica> And we all certainly like to have knowledge at our fingertips. That is why each of us carry data pads. A standard convenience of life. However, it appears they were, perhaps, tampered with when we entered...
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly shakes his head and grumbles to himself from the back*
<ChadWinters> 6The first one again. He waves his hand dismissively. 1"Everybody carries a datapad on them.
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods* Yes. Datapads I designed for the team with high level of coding. *for some reason she seems to be incriminating herself*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> To safeguard themselves from tampering
<Xanatos> <Bes> ...not all of us. We have our boy carry them for us.
<ChadWinters> 6The man with short blonde hair. 1"If that's the case, and you're the confident in your security, you're the only one could've done it, correcT?"
<kalonZombee> 6*Gor tilts his head at Bes's statement
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Not necessarially. Even the toughest devices can be broken into eventually.
<ChadWinters> <Ebisu> And this is why your business is trailing behind the rest of us, Bes. You've grown lazy.
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly shakes his head again* Nothing has a perfect defense, there's always a way to get past or through a firewall.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Oh yes. Easily, I could have sent a code to blow them up. But Gor is right. But. The datapads I designed have a few failsafes in them even destroyed. Because nothing is perfect
<DeathStar> *she eyes the Cartel at that*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I've seen my mother's defenses breached enough to know that
<ChadWinters> <Balthasar> And I assume you're going to woo us with these fail safes to prove it then?
<Xanatos> <Bes> I'm merely focusing my efforts elsewhere. You'll see. 6* He hisses at Ebisu
<Sara> * Erica's eyes follow how is talking at any given moment
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Mmm. Erica, you went out somewhere, yes?
<ChadWinters> <Loki> Children. 6He looks at Bes and Ebisu. 1"My assassins are trying to defend themselves. Please focus on them."
<Sara> <Erica> We came to the planet to check for interesting wares, and during that time, we purchased several. *she admits*
<ChadWinters> <Loki> And interesting choices they were. 6He claps his hands.
<DeathStar> *Taiga doesn't seem to care if they are lost, moving about as if looking* Yes. Well there are some programs that if one datapad on a network gets infected it can spread to the others.
<Sara> <Erica> Viruses. *she clarifies*
<ChadWinters> <Balthasar> Please skip over the daily lessons we've all learned about. 6He waves his hand dismissively.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Mmhmm. But the signal has to be sent somewhere. Loki, if we can contact our ship?
<ChadWinters> <Loki> Which on....Oh your ship. Right. 6He moves to start typing on his datapad with the black haired man, Ebisu eyes him. 1"And if they chose to try and teleport away? <Loki> It'll be fine. I'll just have a giant target painted on the backs. 6He gleefully smiles as he hits the button.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Erica, talk to Airym. She has all the access on my datapads. She should be able to run the search
<Xanatos> <Bes> Because that's ALWAYS worked out for you. 6* He roll shis eyes at Loki.
<Sara> <Erica> Will do. *she relays this to Airym over the open channel*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Yes, captain. Beginning search now."
<Sara> * Subtly nudging Sabrina closer to the most likely shapeshifter as she does
<ChadWinters> <Loki> Bes my dear, dear friend. Like I wouldn't have atleast 5 other things on these people if they are proven innocent.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina moves over to Balthar*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Search complete, captain. Would you like the result on open channel?"
<ChadWinters> 6Balthasar eyes Sabrina. 1"You do best, staying with your 'friends'"
<DeathStar> *Sabrina pauses and smiles cutely*
<Sara> <Erica> It's the only channel we have, so yeah.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Access was from use Asmodeus."
<Jackieness> user
<DeathStar> *taiga pauses, surprised and looks at Erica, whispering* There's two of them
<DeathStar> *Sabrina jerks and begins to move to the other side and gets close* T-That is what I was feeling...
<Sara> * Erica looks at Loki questioningly
<ChadWinters> 6The members all look over at Asmodeus.
<Sara> * Then looks at Asmodeus
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I... you'll have to somehow link Balthasar. I don't know how.
<kalonZombee> 6*As does Gor
<DeathStar> *she whispers*
<ChadWinters> <Loki> Asmodeus. Did you really try to do a hostile takeover? You know that's the one thing we don't allow.
<Sara> <Erica> Wait for the excuse, *she tells Taiga*
<ChadWinters> <Ebisu> That would be one of the founding laws that no member is allowed to break.
<Xanatos> <Bes> We do non-hostile takeovers. Everyone knows that.
<DeathStar> *Asmodeus is a large man with muscles. He leans forward* They are liars. I am sure they faked the information
<DeathStar> *he is bald and has buldging eyes*
<ChadWinters> <Loki> He does have a convicing point. 6He looks over at Erica, seemingly enjoying this
<Sara> <Erica> An interesting theory, but when would you propose we found the time to analyze the situation and do so? You are the ones with all of the eyes in this area, correct
<Sara> ?
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper slides over close to Sabrina, slowly feeling out to see if, as a shapeshifter, she can detect the shapeshifterness on Balthasar.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Captain, shall I transmit the encryption key used by user Asmodeus?"
<Sara> <Erica> Of course.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *sends the key over*
<DeathStar> *eyes his fingernails* So they caught me taking information and used this to frame me while they tried to kill Loki
<ChadWinters> <Loki> When? I could argue during your flying from one planet, to this one
<DeathStar> *noting his fingerprints being on the datapads*
<Sara> <Erica> Had we done that -- it would obviously, in this alleged attempt on your life -- be smartest to incriminate someone such as yourself for our datapad malfunction. Get out of jail free, as it were.
<DeathStar> *Taiga eyes Balthasar, wondernig what this shapeshifter was up to during all this*
<DeathStar> *Taiga whispers to the others* Any ideas what he was up to?
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper pauses and walks over to whisper to Erica that one of their lackeys spent a fuckton of money on that orb of darkness and it may connect them here.
<DeathStar> *Pepper cannot really detect anything but perhaps if he shifted she can then*
<DeathStar> *Yuki studies the guard outside, then Jelly*
<Sara> <Erica> Incidentally, it may not be on topic, but I had a question about the auctions we attended...
<ChadWinters> <Loki> I think she has a point, Asmo. I'm having problems following that line of logic honestly.
<Sara> <Erica> There was a very interesting dark orb there. Would you happen to know who was in charge of the people who bought it so desperately?
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly looks at Yuki questioningly*
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> Dark orb? *he changes topics* What dark orb?
<ChadWinters> <Loki> Let's see...You guys were at....6He flicks his wrist bringing up a list, and begins going through it a bit. 1"Interesting. Seem's one of Balthasars men bought it" 6He brings his gaze down on him.
<Sara> * Erica eyes Asmodeus' reaction
<ChadWinters> <Balthasar> What of it? We're allowed to purchase whatever we want.
<Sara> * Erica nods and waits to see if anyone else can further this part of the argument; she wasn't there
<DeathStar> *Asmodeus eyes Balthasar*
<Sara> <Erica> Good taste. I just figured it was one of you. Such a class item.
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Willing to spend quite a bit on it though.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *glances from Asmodeus to Balthasar and back again, musing on this reaction*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The dark orb is a Dark One relic.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Billions on one little orb.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> A dangerous item
<DeathStar> *She notes, softly*
<ChadWinters> 6Loki waves his hand, sending a video feed of the auction to the center of the room. 1"Seem's your man got in to a pissing match with the bunny. Who seem's to think he can wave his money around like it's a phalic object.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "A note of desperation."
<Xanatos> <Bes> Ah, new money, they never understand how effective it can be in the shadows.
<ChadWinters> 6Loki let's out a low whistle at the bidding price. The other members all eye Balthasar dangerously now. 1"That's a lot of money."
<DeathStar> *Asmodeus rises* Let us simply end this. *he throws something at Bes, a dark goop that begins to surround the man*
<ChadWinters> 6Balthasar twitches a bit.
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> It has grown tiresome
<Xanatos> <Bes> W-What is this?! 6* He tries to get free, stumbling and falling back out of his chair
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Finally.
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> Wait there as one of ours takes your form.
<DeathStar> *Bes is covered and Asmodeus throws another at the next member, then another*
<ChadWinters> <Loki> And that's our cue. 6He quickly slides back from the table, the other members quickly moving towards the walls
<DeathStar> *Asmodeus throws one at Loki quickly*
<kalonZombee> 6*Gor tries to use Foxfire on Asmodeus
<ChadWinters> 6Loki flicks his wrist and a shield appears around him.
<DeathStar> *Taiga quickly goes into a stance without her weapons*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This is not going to be easy
<Seraphna> **Cookie tries to form her gun and shoot the thing out of the air**
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Uh, I can make our fist fo more!
<Sara> * Erica cracks her knuckles. Her bodu is a weapon.
<Xanatos> (do)
<Sara> body*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Focus on getting the legitimate Cartel leadership clear."
<DeathStar> *Yuki slides forward and gets ready*
<Seraphna> **Cookie grins** What weapons? **she pounds her fists together**
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly gulps and looks around for somewhere to hide...or for their gear*
<DeathStar> -BATTLE HAS BEGUN
<DeathStar> (one second-
<ChadWinters> 6Cel cracks his knuckles as she readies herself, adopting a fighting stance
<DeathStar> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4F-iNOusHc&ytbChannel=DY%20Prime
<ChadWinters> 6Cel activates Speed of Herme's, doubling her speed and creating an electrical arc around her body
<DeathStar> *The first shifter steps forward, the foxfire barely missing, and forms tentacles to try to do 8 damage to Erica and tangle her but misses*
<DeathStar> *the damage though counts*
<Sara> <Erica> Gross.
<DeathStar> *Yuki bounces forward and does her Kitsune attack, but without her Weapon it does 20 Damage*
<DeathStar> *she targets the fastet one to the left*
<DeathStar> *wih the tentacles*
<Sara> * Erica moves in on the other shapeshifter and uses her Fists of Fury, growling. [Fists: Strength multipler (+3 for 7) x 2 + 10 Weapon Damage = 30 damage - 1 in 2 dice roll for foxfire]
<kalonZombee> 6*Gor, assuming there's some sort of defense mechanisms in place in the room, runs and slides for a wall or something to lean against that only has one way to attack him, and attempts to jump into it with Ghost in the Shell (Ghost In The Shell: Gor can attempt to jump into mechanical components and possess them with an OG, to hack things that are normally unhackable. Shielded machines
<kalonZombee> 6will always stop him, and complex AIs will be unhackable. Gor may not use Master Hacker for this OG.
<kalonZombee> [Possess mechanical componets that are not shielded or have complex AI. Cannot be paired with Master Hacker])
<DeathStar> (This is all up to Chad)
<DeathStar> (What sort of defenses there are)
<kalonZombee> (Keep in mind that if there isn't Gor basically can't do anything)
<DeathStar> *Gor manages to hit the faster with the tentacles and stuns him next round*
<Seraphna> **Cookie holds out her hands and then slams them together, sending overwhelming force into the mind of the slower one** [[Telepathic Goddess: 20 Damage]]
<DeathStar> *Taiga pauses, eyein the stunned one, then the upright one and prepares for it*
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper steps back and begins to sing an empowering song. All allies deal double damage until her next turn.
<DeathStar> *Taiga halfs the enemies speed on the faster one*
<Seraphna> **Si'Chii grins and her eyes glow as she lights up, hair turning white and her body appearing to glow with embers as she powers up.** [[White Flame, 2x Strength & Speed]] ((Her speed is now 8.]]
<DeathStar> *the last shifter goes*
<DeathStar> *The laster shifter prepares for a massive 14 damage attack, eyeing who to hit*
<DeathStar> *then launches at Pepper*
<Xanatos> (1 hp left)
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *closes a fist and activate Bio-Accelerators [Bio-Accelerators: Double Strength and Speed]
<DeathStar> *Sabrina steps up*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina slows the tenacle to 1 nowq*
<DeathStar> -END ROUND 1-
<Seraphna> **Si'Chii snaps her fingers and sends flame out towards the faster of the two.** [[Pyromancer: 20 Damage + Fire Damage]]
<ChadWinters> 6Cel leans forwards then suddenly snaps forward, electricity arcing off her body as she slides in past Si' and throws a palm strike for the tentacle ones head. 7 damage + Lightning. She snaps backwards the electricity crackling as it lessens
<Seraphna> ((40 damage, actually))
<ChadWinters> 6Cel then does her cut in, bouncing towards the other one and throwing another palm strike for it's chest, 7 + Lightning. The elcftricity finishes crackling as she slows back down
<Xanatos> [Double your damage from Pepper, Cel]
<ChadWinters> *14 each*
<DeathStar> *Yuki does ... giant fox 40 on the harder hitting one, killing it*
<DeathStar> *leaving the tentacle*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *then launches herself at the remaining shifter, the sound of cloth tearing as her dress splits at the leg while she sends an open palm strike at the center of the creature.
<DeathStar> *the one oozes away*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Erica finish it off
<Sara> * Erica moves in to do just that, refreshing her Fists of Fury and using it again [Fists: Strength multipler (+3 for 7) x 2 + 10 Weapon Damage = 30 damage - 1 in 2 dice roll for foxfire]
<DeathStar> *the shapeshifter simply --- explodes*
<DeathStar> *with foxfire*
<DeathStar> *the goo on the cartel leaders fades off*
<DeathStar> *Taiga peers about* Well Loki can simple find where they stashed the leaders
<Seraphna> Cookie> So... umm... does the court find out evidence valid?
<kalonZombee> 6*Gor slides out of the defenses and stands back up
<ChadWinters> 6Loki peeks up from behind the desk. 1"Well...I mean. That does exhonerate you on the attempted manslaughter charges.
<kalonZombee> <Gor> I'd say saving all of your lives should count for something as well.
<Seraphna> **Si fuus, a gout of actual steam rising off her body** Heee, I'm hot, get it?
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "I need a new outfit."
<ChadWinters> 6The other members seems to be rather...freaked out at what just happened. Taking some time to recover and colect themselves
<kalonZombee> <Gor> <I get it, hon.>
<Xanatos> 6* Bes quickly gets to his feet, coughing and flees to his secret door.
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper falls over, bloody and on 1 hp.
<ChadWinters> 6Ebisu eyes Bes fleeing and shakes his head. 1"Always the coward."
<ChadWinters> 6Cel quickly moves over to Pepper to try and help
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly looks out from where he was hiding* Is it over?
<Seraphna> **Cookie sits with her and works on her wounds using old fashioned doctoring**
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *moves over to Sabrina* "Are you alright?"
<Sara> <Erica> Sorry about the mess. *she wipes her hands off on her clothes*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Are we really?
<DeathStar> *Yuki lets out a breath* I think we're finally done here. *she leans her head back* And we can head to Geyze after picking up Lorelei to see what plot the shapeshifters are planning there with the weapons stolen
<ChadWinters> <Loki> Gotta crack a few eggs when you clean a govenment of shapeshifters. 6He notes. The others eye him. 1"I would've told you eventually. Once I found out who they were.
<ChadWinters> <Ebisu> ....Weapons...6He eyes the team dangerously now.
<kalonZombee> <Gor> It's over, Jelly. You can stop hiding now.
<DeathStar> *Yuki pulls Erica close and kisses her* Lets go home
<DeathStar> *Sabrina helps Jelly up* Come along
<Sara> * Erica grins. "Stay safe, Loki. Glad we could see eye to eye."
<Seraphna> **Cookie muses and peers over at them, the look just as dangerous considering one of those weapons was the Dragoon Virus**
<DeathStar> *Taiga raises a brow at that*
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly nods and follows after them*
<ChadWinters> 6Loki coughs over at Yuki and Erica. 1"Oh now now. I wouldn't say we see eye to eye on things."
<DeathStar> *Taiga waves a hand* See you, Look. *and begins to call Erica for an extraction*
<Sara> <Erica> Well... Okay. We saw something resembling it. Hahah. Just take care of yourself.
<Seraphna> **Cookie carries Pepper out**
<kalonZombee> 6*Gor walks with Si out
<Seraphna> **Si wobbles and lets Gor guide her out**
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper weakly holds up a middle finger to the rest of the Cartel leaders as she's carried out.
<ChadWinters> <Ebisu> You're going to allow them to leave? <Loki> Please. If they try anything foolish, I'll just bring the full weight of the Cartel on them. 6He smiles dangerously
<ChadWinters> 6The other members being argueing a bit now
<DeathStar> *TAiga walks out and whispes to Erica* If they try anything Airym has downloaded something. It'll vanish in time but it'll protect us. Lets go.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi continues to apologize as the they approach the school*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei eyes the school, eerie after hours. McTreggor quietly walks along and studies the area while Zegretta hums*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Are we sure we want to do this? 6He rubs his shoulders
<kalonZombee> <Thara> My love, if you keep apologizing, it doesn't sound sincere anymore.
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> It doesn't?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan walks along quietly, contemplating things**
<Seraphna> *Michelle takes a breath, sighing**
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> You were the one who said to do it now.
<DeathStar> *Rachael pauses as they find the ex-Empress of the Suisen Empire there holding Sol* <Lenneth> Come. It is time to get you out of here before they kill you. I would have words with you
<ChadWinters> <Durt> What? No. I said now would be a good time if we were prepared for it, but I don't know if everyone's prepared to take on another god so quickly
<kalonZombee> <Thara> You know like how if you keep saying a word it doesn't sound like a real word anymore?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Empress...?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Len?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt pauses at what happened then nudges Lore, pointing.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slowly holds his sword up, looking confused
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...and I really don't want to get expelled..."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei blinks and Lenneth turns to loook at them, wearing her Tareh outfit. However there is subtle differences. She has looks that look a bit like Jen and Godiva in her appearance, not 100% Lenneth*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> That's... new...
<DeathStar> <Lenneth?> The God slayers are here for you. Now quit struggling. *she begins to open a portal with her sword when a ship comes flying in and makes "Lenneth" duck a bit. The ship seems to be an older model and is large, and definitely seems to be Cartelish but has been modified so much it is hard to tell*
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Wait, hold on, this is weird...
<Seraphna> Michelle> Okay... who's that now?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Somethings different. AGED UP. This is the other one.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> They are getting away. *she tenses when the Lenneth person leaps into her portal with Sol and it closes as the ship lands*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> And now there's a ship? This is weird.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin forms his pistol and aims as she jumps through, hissing he tries to move for the portal.
<Seraphna> MIchelle> On the plus side... I doubt she'll be eating the school anymore?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So that was Lenneth...?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Tch... 6* When it closes in front of him.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... I suppose that is a plus..
<DeathStar> *the ship's platform opens and a woman in a helmet steps out* <Woman> We lost her again.
<Xanatos> <Valen> We only got 1 of the 3 though. We failed according to school rules.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...maybe we should clean up the spells she left around the school..."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I don't think we were the god slayers she was talking about this time...
<DeathStar> *Rachael nods*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> ...Anybody recognize this chick?
<DeathStar> <Aschae> *she steps out next to the helmeted woman*
<kalonZombee> 6*Thara looks at the helmeted woman
<Seraphna> Michelle> Would this be the actual Lenneth?
<DeathStar> <Aschae> ... <Rachael> Oh look. It's her
<Seraphna> Michelle> Oh, there we go.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Ugh, hi Aschae...
<DeathStar> *Aschae eyes Kaelan and brings her staff down on her head* Stand straighter
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> Oh. It's her. Goodie.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan huffs** Hey! I'm an adult now!
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...
<DeathStar> *the helmeted woman takes the helmet off and reveals Ruby Carter - Iceheart. Though didn't they have one with them?*
<Seraphna> Michelle> ...Well shit.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Iceheart?
<Seraphna> Michelle> Erm... so which one is the shifter?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> ...Wasn't she with the other....
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> Sorry I didn't fly fast enough. *she calls into the ship where Godiva and Lenneth walk down the plank.* Hm? *she turns back*
<Seraphna> **Michelle casually forms her bow just in case**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Wait they were right about her being a shapeshifterS?
<Seraphna> Michelle> Or horribly wrong.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Where' Freyja?
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> What is this about what now? *Aschae eyes them with a bow and she goes into a stance* She's in the ship.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Wanna try and sense her out, McTreggor?
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I see I've stepped into something. Mind explaining?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> We've been working with an Iceheart and Freyja.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Oh, man... now the crazy started."
<ChadWinters> 6Durt sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose. 1"I need a beer now."
<Seraphna> Michelle> Shapeshifters. All over. They've already taken over Earth.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Fuckin Shifter man!
<DeathStar> *Iceheart glances with the others* Come on the ship. You can see Freyja yourself. After Lenny changed, I offered the ship to help the others. Since the ship is my home
<DeathStar> *she pats it - the ship does look like her original ship*
<DeathStar> *though modified over the years*
<DeathStar> *McTreggor studies and taps Iceheart subtlely* Hm. She seems clean
<DeathStar> <Godiva> I am good friends with Ruby
<Seraphna> **Michelle relaxes.**
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I'll send Erica and their crew a message to be on the look out for the other shifter.
<Xanatos> (shifters)
<Seraphna> **Kaelan relaxes too and sighs** Yeah... good call.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Can we go to bed now? I'm tired.
<DeathStar> *Aschae studies each of the kids, telling Zegretta to stand straighter, Leruste not to slouch*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I could use a nap after taking down Manus.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well, I suppose they can fill us in on some information. 6He pats Val's head. 1"You did good today, runt."
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> I'm not slouching! *He was slouching
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Ruby, can we get a ride on your ship to the Aquarius. <Iceheart> Might as well. Lost Lenny again. There's bedrooms on the ship you can use and holovids to watch. And a kitchen
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> This is my home now so I changed it over the years to live in it since I stay in space so often
<ChadWinters> <Durt> As long as you have a cold shower and beer. 6He moves towards the ship
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Do we have everything?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Shouldn't we stop by the hotel to grab our stuff first?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lets do that and Ori
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Then head out
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Right. The rune's.
<DeathStar> 10-639.6.11
<DeathStar> Location: The Aquarius
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki eyes a ship approaching
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Unknown ship approaching and hailing us
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Guns ready
<Seraphna> **Cookie taps the answer button**
<DeathStar> *Yuki stands on the bridge. Taiga leans back, looking tired again these days. A cartel vessel appears, though heavily modified*
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Oh goodie, it's them again.
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Apparently they changed their minds on us.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan appears on the comms and looks tired** Hey... it's us.. there was a gas leak on the ship and everyone else is unconcious or close to... I need to land.
<DeathStar> *Yuki scans the ship* There is smoe damage to the shi
<DeathStar> *Yuki scans the ship* There is smoe damage to the ship
<Sara> * Erica frowns
<Seraphna> Cookie> I'll get medical ready, gas inhalation is serious... **she hops up**
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Do we have a code word?
<Sara> <Erica> What's even up with that ship?
<Xanatos> <Pepper> OH, what's Kaelan's favorite thing?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "They likely require our technical expertise to effect repairs to the ship."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Zegretta of course... look I can barely keep up myself...
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Shit I don't even know if that's right.
<ChadWinters> <Cel> What do you want to do, Erica?
<DeathStar> *Yuki scans* A lot of people on there. around the kid's ages
<Sara> <Erica> Something's really wrong here.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> You want to just leave them there. The gas levels are still rising
<Sara> <Erica> But whatever, it's our duty.
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Then we should bring them aboard, right?
<Sara> <Erica> Just please stay on guard, everyone.
<Sara> <Erica> We will take them and we will ascertain the situation from there. Okay?
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper holds up her gun.
<DeathStar> *the ship finally lands*
<DeathStar> *the ship opens and ... Iceheart stumbles out with Freyja and helps one or two kids out. Almost everyone is out like said*
<DeathStar> *Iceheart breathes air and lays there, TAiga steps up and eyes another Iceheart*
<DeathStar> *Godiva lays near the ramp and Aschae is there, meditating to keep from passing out - because she is Aschae.*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan is with Zegretta, waiting to help her out, she seems like she's barely holding on herself**
<ChadWinters> 6Cel glances around for Durt
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper stands nearby, holding the SMG and not really doing much since she's not a healer.
<DeathStar> *Rachael is unconscious on top of Moira and the others are out*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hm. I wonder if this is the shapeshifter we left with them. But how did they get the real RUby's ship?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> She's the real one... we had McTreggor test her... you all have the fake.
<Sara> <Erica> Gor, give the ship a look over. See if you can find what happened for sure.
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods. McTreggor no longer seems to be with the team, having left them*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Well we don't HAVE her. She followed us and we gave her the slip.
<ChadWinters> <Cel> We ditched them. 6She moves in to try and pull the others out
<Xanatos> <Valen> ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
<kalonZombee> 6*Gor nods, moving to the ship to find the cameras or logs or something to find out what went on
<Seraphna> **Cookie muses, checking on each one and taking vitals** I need to know what chemical leaked.
<DeathStar> *The ship is rather large and seems to be 2 stories with a family room, living room, game room and ebd rooms, and other things. It is a family ship it seems but it packs a lot of power*
<DeathStar> *it seems the group was breathing some dangerous chemicals judging by their blood and need to go to medical*
<Sara> <Erica> Reminds me of those dumb house-cars I've seen in Earth history
<DeathStar> *it seems something went wrong with the engines*
<Sara> * She notes out loud without meaning to
<DeathStar> *Taiga moves to investigate the ship* I will let you all move them to medical. Want to help me find where the leak came from, Erica?
<kalonZombee> 6*Gor sends Erica updates as he finds them out
<ChadWinters> 6Cel grunts as she drags Durt out, dropping his head hard on the ground
<Sara> <Erica> Sure.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper starts helping move people now.
<DeathStar> *after a few hours, with Gor and other people who know the ship, Taiga taps a part of the ship* This was cut subtlely as not to set off alarms
<DeathStar> *she then points at the tube hook up to ptu things int othe air*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> They put deadly energy into the air. Risky since they were breathing it in too.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Being a small ship it built up over time.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei and the others begin to wake up in medical*
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Ungh... my ship.... Freyja....
<DeathStar> <Rachael> My head is pounding..
<ChadWinters> 6Durt groans a bit. 1"Worst...hangover...ever.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I feel so sick..."
<Sara> <Erica> Man... Gross. *she notes to Taiga* Sabotage sucks when we're not the ones doing it.
<ChadWinters> 6Cel punches Durt who groans in response. 1"You could've died you dolt."
<kalonZombee> 6*Tanan sips some horrible smelling drink
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It means that someone wanted to knock the crew out for some reason. Even though they were headed this way. Who?
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Anyone missing?
<Seraphna> **Cookie muses and peers around**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Mireille. Has anyone left the Aquarius?
<DeathStar> *she steps off Iceheart's ship and onto the Aquarius*
<DeathStar> <Mireille> *appears and spins, checking* Yes! A person used a teleporter onto Asteroid C!
<Xanatos> <Valen> Why do I feel like I died and now I'm dead?>
<DeathStar> *Zegretta wakes and eyes a small box on her chest*
<Sara> <Erica> Oh great. Did we ever install a camera system there?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Yes.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It's because you probably did. 6He groans a bit as he swings his legs over the bed and on to the ground. 1"Fuck my brain hurts. And my body."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Though it's hard to tell how well it works.
<DeathStar> *Zegretta opens the box and sees the small ring, blinking at why she has the ring she gave to Kaelan and sits up painfully*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin is still out, the energy affecting him more.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Mireille, can you check who used our teleporter and the cameras?
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Yes. Kaelan Di'Neer.
<Seraphna> **Cookie frowns and keeps checking over the patients** Hey, take it easy. If you all rush to get up you'll have the worst hangovers ever.
<Sara> <Erica> Figures. Same one who gave us the whole runaround.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> So, she's a baddy now?
<DeathStar> *Rachael looks at the others, while Zegretta peers and sees no Kaelan, frowning and her ears droop*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Or something else is happening?
<Seraphna> **Michelle peers around and rubs her head** Head count everyone...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .. well if she did it she would have set up means to last through the poison in the air longer
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I've had...nope this is the new one. 6He stands off the bed then stumbles, grabbing back on to it again.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... So was she a shapeshifter or one of Lore's people...
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Guess we should let them know, they were betrayed by one of their own.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I have to think Sabrina would have noticed the former
<Sara> <Erica> I mean, those aren't the only options out there. Robot clone, for example. *she is serious*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I hink the latter since she knocked them all out and they have those God senses
<Seraphna> Cookie> Hmm, if it was a shifter, they weren't betrayed... and there's a kid missing somewhere stashed.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *She rubs the back of her head* Shit. .... Shie shit shit. And just when things were looking up
<Seraphna> Cookie> Pity Si wasn't up at the time...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lorelei is going to kill me
<DeathStar> *Taiga grabs Erica's arm* You'll protect me, won't you?
<Sara> <Erica> Uh... I guess it's sorta legally my duty to protect my mother-in-law, though according to media, I also have to hate you.
<DeathStar> *Zegretta slumps into her bed, waiting for Kaelan - sure she is just out getting something for her.*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... sigh
<DeathStar> -END-
