<DeathStar> That was meant to be a safe
<DeathStar> But that works
<DeathStar> Item there
<DeathStar> No Jackie probably and no Xan
<Seraphna> we are your only loyal players
<kalonZombee> Who and who?
<ChadWinters> That's a lie
<kalonZombee> So are you
<kalonZombee> But you don't see me telling people
<DeathStar> Alright

<DeathStar> Date: 10-639.5.17
<DeathStar> Location: Warren Moon Base
<DeathStar> 6* The past two days the team have been skimming the cameras - the remaining two Ninth Circle members seem to protecting themselves much better and are moving from location to location and tapping the cameras have become a bit of a hassel since the signal seems to be changing every 5 hours. Also X has been "asking" the Ninth Circle member they have in the other room and his screams can be heard sometimes and the Spirit shapeshifter looks sickly
<DeathStar> *Darien taps his cane in thought when another scream is heard, wondering what to do next, while Warren looks asleep*
<Seraphna> **Angela rubs her ears** Yikes... really glad I haven't gone full bunny yet at this point.
<ChadWinters> If she hasn't broken him by now...
<DeathStar> *Darien eyes Angela at that*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Fully bunny? 6Dias looks co nfused as hell
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Angela is being Angela
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na holds her ears to her sides
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Ow.
<DeathStar> *X walks in from another session, stripping some gloves off*
<DeathStar> <X> He fainted - again
<Seraphna> **Angela huffs** Just a joke with the wife on Dragoons adopting pilot characteristics.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> ...Aren't all the bunny's just hornballs that only like humping?
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> To be fair, it's not like I haven't tried to get you to get the ears
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Wow. Oour President finally understands Gitari
<Seraphna> ** Angela reaches out and flicks Dias on the nose**
<DeathStar> *Vesta shows Dias videos of Gitari's breeding rate numbers*
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Look at them rise.
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Aren't all humans just giant prudes who pave over nature to build ugly concrete squares?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> So wait...tdoes this means she was getting turned on by the man's screams?
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> No!
<Seraphna> **Angela eyes Dias**
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Did you know when Cheryl was President she purposely capped how many Gitari could come to Earth? For fear they would overrun the planet like lotus
<ChadWinters> We could drug him up again to wake him.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Nope. I think I was out punching half a planet in it's face.
<kalonZombee> 6*Dias would see... not much of a rise in Gitari population. They make sure to keep it fairly well regulated due to fear of overpopulation
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I would have an easier time reading his mind while he's unconcious.
<DeathStar> <X> Well, I really haven't been torturing him that much
<DeathStar> <Darien> You could have fooled me
<ChadWinters> Then maybe we should crank it up a notch.
<Seraphna> **Truth huffs quietly and eyes her book**
<DeathStar> *X pulls the gloves on and pulls out a hack saw that has blood on it that is dripping and approaches Chad and begins to put it on his arm, slowly beginning to saw* Aaaand Bam
<DeathStar> <X> Out like a light
<DeathStar> <X> The blood is mostly for show.
<Seraphna> Angela> Holy crap.
* ChadWinters watches her, not flinching much. 1"Then we should procure a drug to keep him from passing out.
<DeathStar> <X> Each time I do something new in the same area he freaks out. *Spirit begins to breath easier*
<DeathStar> <X> I mean I guess I could hack the fake Spirit in front of him for answers
<ChadWinters> Only on his arm though?
<Sara> * Chris shakes her head at the whole thing.
<DeathStar> <X> Oh once I had him in water and slowly lowered a sparking cable
<DeathStar> <X> And he passed out as the cable nearly touched the water
<DeathStar> <X> Once I had a bag around his head and on the third time and he passed out
<DeathStar> <Darien> Jesus X where did you learn this stuff
<Seraphna> Angela> The Ninth Circle takes on wimps?
<DeathStar> <X> Look if I really wanted torture I could. This was just flashy stuff
<ChadWinters> I imagine the majority aren't soldiers. Just greedy people who want to rule the world.
<DeathStar> *X sits and crosses her arms*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Did anyone just try to ask nicely?
<DeathStar> *X deadpans at Dias*
<Seraphna> Angela> Like.... good cop bad cop?
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na looks at Dias like he has 4 heads
<DeathStar> <X> I think Darien and Warren tried that
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Aren't they both bad cop worse cop?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Oh. Well, if punching the answers out of him won't work. I don't know.
<Seraphna> Angela> Wait... which was the good cop? Warren's good cop tends to avoid a murderous stare.
<DeathStar> *Warren snorts awake and glances over, eyeing Anglea with a look*
<Seraphna> *avoid = be
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<Seraphna> Angela> Like that one.
<DeathStar> <Warren> .oO (my enemy)
<DeathStar> <Darien> Fine. Give it a try. Go ask him "nicely".
<Seraphna> Angela> He's looking at me like I'm a cheeseburger at Tony's.
<Sara> <Chris> Are those good or bad?
<Seraphna> Angela> His enemies.
<Sara> <Chris> So good, right?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Ok. 6He claps his hands and moves off to talk to the guy
<Sara> <Chris> I seem to remember good.
<ChadWinters> It's possible talking to Dias for 5 minutes might be worse than anything X has done.
<DeathStar> *The guy seems to be coming around slowly*
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Just remind him that Dias is president.
<Seraphna> Angela> I'm still convinced we somehow got sent to an alternate, darkest timeline.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias leans over the guy, waving his hand
<DeathStar> <X> I just know for a fact some of you idiots voted for him
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> I sure as hell didn't.
<DeathStar> *The guy eyes Dias slowly, jerking and trying to get away*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Hey bud. Why ya trying to get away?
<DeathStar> <Man> I know you'll try to get revenge against me
<DeathStar> *Warren turns back to the monitors*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well why Dias has fun we should focus on things elsewhere.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias stares a bit and slowly raises his fist. 1"I won't have to if you tell me everything you know.
<Seraphna> Angela> Sounds like what we normally do;.
<DeathStar> *the man begins to look faint*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias puts his fist down.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Did we gather enough money to pay Asarar for her services?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Because if she is leaving soon and if we're going to do something we need to act on it now
<DeathStar> <X> Well most of our accounts have likely been seized
<ChadWinters> How much do we need?
<DeathStar> *the man opens one eye and eyes Dias' fist slowly*
<Seraphna> Angela> Hmm, there's mine and Mi'Na's assets on Gitari that likely haven't been.
<DeathStar> <Warren> How much did she charge last time?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Gitari is part of the Suisen Empire and Earth is part of the Suisen Empire. They might not be seized but Earth might request they not send it to you
<ChadWinters> <Dias> You're quite the fainting type aren't you. I won't punch ya. I'm just hear to talk.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Or worse send it to you and trace it
<Seraphna> Angela> True... hrm.
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Yeah, I've been trying to avoid using my assets entirely. So far I've been successful.
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> I'm not as rich as some rabbits I know but I do have enough to live comfortably, but right now using the money isn't a good idea.
<Seraphna> Angela> We could turn in Dias for the reward. **joking, right?**
<DeathStar> *Warren pauses, then hmms*
<DeathStar> *peering at Spirit*
<DeathStar> *Spirit flinches*
<ChadWinters> I might be able to scrounge up some of the funds.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *pauses in holding a comm*
<DeathStar> <Warren> 100,000 credits worth?
<DeathStar> *the man eyes Dias* I have nothing to say. I am a loyal to my cause
<DeathStar> *X eyes Warren, wondering if he was really going to do it*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Are ya now? So am I. The cause of being the strongest.
<DeathStar> *the man eyes Dias* You know, you were made President so we could manipulate you.
<ChadWinters> A down payment for sure. Getting the rest might take some time since we're trapped here.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Haha, likely story. 6He laughs jovially. 1"I see through all my opponents. 6He starts listing off everyone he's beat
<DeathStar> <Warren> I still kind of like the idea of selling Dias. We could possibly use the fake Spirit there to turn her in with Chris monitoring from the distance
<DeathStar> <Warren> Show of hands, who wants to sell Dias
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na raises her hand. Quickly.
<DeathStar> *Darien pauses in raising then sighs and keeps it down. Vesta raises it*
<Sara> * Chris shrugs and raises hand. "If that's the order."
<DeathStar> *Wyrd raises it. X keeps it down*
<DeathStar> *The man eyes Dias* You know nothing about politics! The only reason you have stayed afoor is that fool Vice President!
<Seraphna> * Truth poutily raises her hand.
<DeathStar> *afloot
<DeathStar> *somewhere in the base Stacey sneezes*
<Seraphna> Angela> Stacy votes yay.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> You mean my trust sidekick? 6He laughs again, this time talking about how's been slowly training her, then going in to a side tangent about the time he chased down an ape like creature on a back water planet just to wrestle it
<Stretch`cell> *Damian walks past the door and pauses* Far be it for me to offer advice in questioning a prisoner...but why not induce a paralytic state in his entire body and let him start asphyxiating? Lack of oxygen is usually a good motivator.
<DeathStar> *the man makes a howl of agony in the other room*
<DeathStar> *he eyes Damian*
<Stretch`cell> Damian> Especially when you're completely aware of every single sensation?
<Seraphna> Angela> He faces worse torture.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> And after wrestling it for 8 hour straight. That's when we became closer friends and I gained a new appreciation for the finer things in nature
<Seraphna> Angela> He's tied to a chair and has to listen to Dias talk.
<DeathStar> *the man tries to bang his own head against himself*
<DeathStar> <Warren> We'll keep Dias for now. Alright gather the money and lets find Asarar
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lets leave Dias behind with the prisoner.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I NEED PILLOWS FOR THE GUYS HEAD! 6He yells out loudly
<DeathStar> *Warren does jot a note to sell him once they need money. X picks up a pillow she used earlier as torture and tosses it in*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> *Warren sits in a bar with a trench coat, sipping a drink and watching a holovid with videos of their faces, the bounty up due to their actions two days ago*
<DeathStar> <Newscaster> These dangerous fugitives have kidnapped this man *the ninth circle member's face appears* and attacked a government fun facility.
<kalonZombee> 6*Mi'Na sits with her black hair / hat disguise
<Seraphna> **Angela sits, hair still dyed red and maintaining a dark tan, makeup tricks to make her face look different**
<DeathStar> *Vesta has a pink haired wig*
<DeathStar> *after a bit Asarar walks in and sits down*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You barely caught us. We're finishing our final job and about to leave the moon.
* ChadWinters pulls his hat down a bit, glancing at Asarar
<Sara> * Chris hasn't even bothered to do much to her own appearance, since they just used Sunny's picture for her and they don't look -entirely- identical anymore. She's wearing a hoodie, with the hood pulled up, at least.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So what did you want?
<DeathStar> *Warren shuffles notes* Some on the team wanted to reach out to you since you clearly working with Sunny some
* Jackieness has joined #TAW-Session377
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You know I won't discuss client work. Unless you'd like to discuss what I help with you
<Seraphna> Angela> So let's discuss that.
<DeathStar> *Warren jots a note - Asarar did not deny she is helping Sunny*
<Sara> * Chris watches her
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright. *she spreads her hands* Lay it out. Else I need to get going
<DeathStar> *Warren motions at Angela*
<Seraphna> Angela> You deal in what we're sorely lacking, Intel. We need certain information uncovered and delivered to us. It'll go a long way towards toppling the shifters.
<DeathStar> *Asarar leans back and thinks*
<ChadWinters> And the Ninth Circle. 6He notes to Angela
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'm trying to decide how much me talking will violate the terms of my contract
<Seraphna> Angela> Of course, we can discuss any conflicts of interest and find a way to work around those confines if needed.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> 500,000 credits. *she states*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> And I'll do the dance
<Seraphna> **Angela looks to C-Money.**
<DeathStar> <Warren> I think we will have to do it in installments
<ChadWinters> Our money isn't easy to access right now so, installments would be the easiest way.
<DeathStar> <Warren> That or contact you know who back on Earth
<DeathStar> *referring to Cran and Ren*
<ChadWinters> I'm sure they're already being watched after our last encounter.
<Sara> * Chris smiles wryly. The situation is ever-so-slightly amusing to her, even if it sucks. Deadbeat heroes...
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Installments then. But if you gip us you know we can reach you no matter where you are located
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'm only going to say this once. So you will need to read between the lines
<ChadWinters> The notion isn't lost on me. 6He notes, a slight annoyance to his tone
<DeathStar> <Asarar> From what I have been able to discern, The Ninth Circle has been around for some time. And been setting up their power base here on the moon especially since you heroes weren't as numerous as on Earth but they are there on Earth too, especially the past few decades,.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> And been helping nudge elections and if that fails senate seats with promises or putting their people here and there. They are the type who likes to try to direct things and "Suggest" building things. They claim to have had a hand in Alexander Cran rising to the presidency due to his dragoon progam knowing he would help destablize and grow the military programs they want
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I can't guess at any others they managed to rise up. It's likely a few Generals they likely helped rise up even if they didn't know it
<Seraphna> **Angela huffs a little, not liking the idea that any of them were put into power for such reasons**
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Now, back to the moon. Not everyone was under their thumb. Some people did investigations into things that seemed off to them. Why did Person A rise up so strangely and do things that made no sense
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Or why was Person B murdered and the case closed
* ChadWinters glances over at Chris
<DeathStar> <Asarar> No one day, lets call her Person S had their father killed while investigating a case that looked wrong and was getting close to something. *She closes her eyes*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> And organization C reached out to her to work for them and during the course of it would help find out who killed Person S's father
<Sara> * Chris facepalms
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I was hired by Organization C to find clues for both Organization and the people into Person S's murderer since it is believed they had a common thread. That has been my function lately.
<Sara> * Chris wonders to herself why Asarar is even pretending she's being vague at this point, but keeps listening.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Retrieving items they need and finding names on the killers of this shadowy group.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> And now that I've essentially finished my job the two parties can decide how they want to act on it
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Though I have noted C has their own agenda that is not entirely aimed at S's agenda and S is not entirely with C. They seem to be using each other
<Sara> <Chris> Like a pair of fucked-up lovers.
<Seraphna> Angela> Oh what twisted webs the twisted weave.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> As for the Circle, they seem to be trying to secure Earth nd the Moon, while destablizing the other powers
<DeathStar> <Asarar> That's all I could really tell. They seem to know their power play will make Earth weak for the time being
<DeathStar> <Asarar> That help any?
* ChadWinters drums his fingers, glancing at Warren then Angela
<DeathStar> *Warren muses*
<DeathStar> *Vesta adjusts her wig*
<DeathStar> *Asarar glances at Chris*
<Seraphna> **Angela nods** I think it does indeed.
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> A little, anyway
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Good. Anything I can help you with physically before I go. Because I really do plan to leave the moon. My crew wants to go to a new place. And I got some old friends I want to see myself
<Sara> * Chris eyes Asarar, having noticed the glance
<Seraphna> Angela> **Peers at Warren** They can get into anywhere we'd need.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes. But I imagine this is a one time offer. Where would you send them?
<DeathStar> <Warren> A Circle member? The police station for their network? To Sunny herself?
<ChadWinters> Going after Sunny right now would be pointless. We'll cross paths eventually. Grabbing another person or the police stations network would be more pressing.
<DeathStar> *Asarar rises* You don't make this easy. Very well.
<Seraphna> Angela> The police station.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> My group will handle the station. *she points at Chris* She can help me since she worked there
<Seraphna> Angela> It's the one mission we really can't do.
<DeathStar> *Warren hands Asarar a device* Plant this in their networks*
<Sara> * Chris stands up, giving a resigned shrug.
<DeathStar> *Asarar leads Chris out and Warren watches them go*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright lets go see if Dias has burnt the place down
<DeathStar> *Warren
<DeathStar> *Warren steps up and places some money on the table, leaving*
<ChadWinters> Did I spend 500000 for information we mostly had guessed? 6He stands up
<DeathStar> *As they exit the bar's holovid talks about the Alexander's Corporation*
<DeathStar> <Warren> I believe she will provide more later.
<ChadWinters> Let's hope so. 6He glances at the holovid
<Seraphna> **Angela stretches a bit**
<DeathStar> *it is talking about the government is use some laws to take over the corporation, claiming that with all the recent attacks, they need the reploids to help detect the shifter problem*
<DeathStar> *Cran is naturally fighting against it in courts*
<Seraphna> **Angela rubs her face** Of course they'd make a move to take the Reploids.
<ChadWinters> That'll be troubling. 6He motions to Warren
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. Since I believe that place was made jointly with the military or something I am not sure how that will play
<Seraphna> Angela> It is interesting they're just trying to take it and haven't tried to replace Cran... or maybe they did try and failed.
<DeathStar> <Vesta> I am sure Cran had something where he can't be replaced easily
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> Or they succeeded and it's all a ploy.
<Seraphna> Angela> Alexander does have quite a brain in that skull.
<ChadWinters> It's a possibility. Hopefully he can hold them off until we deal with the circle.
<DeathStar> <Vesta> But if they get the reploids it'll be trouble. <Darien> What is troubling is how this plays out. The government says they need it protect the people
<DeathStar> <Darien> Cran is rejecting them from tkaing all the reploids
<Seraphna> Angela> EarthGov signalling they can just take any body they want to use in the name of defense... again.
<ChadWinters> It's going to paint Cran in a bad light
<ChadWinters> Part of their move to replace him and take all of his work.
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Again?
<Seraphna> Angela> Depends also on if the media focuses on defense or individual rights.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She's referring to the days before you were born
<Seraphna> ** Angela lists off** "Dragoons Alphas, NGDs, now Reploids."
<DeathStar> <Darien> The world - no the universe - is a scary place. Two planets have appeared and a giant tree. Magik and powers are running rampant through the universe
<DeathStar> <Darien> No wonder the Circle made their play now
* ChadWinters nods to Darien
<DeathStar> *Darien moves on out and Warren quietly buys a beer on hsi way out and drinks it*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Seraphna> **Angela sighs a bit** I suppose. I've never been a fan of this attitude.
<DeathStar> *Asarar steps through the wall into her ship with Chris, having phased into normal state with her by holding on*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Did you enjoy the Net?
<Sara> <Chris> If by enjoy you mean 'could do without'. It gets the job done I guess.
<DeathStar> *Asarar picks up Bella and peers at Luci and the others on the ship*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We have a job to do before we leave. Sorry
<Seraphna> **Luci peers up, blinking as she sits on a tiger** Does it pay well?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We're going to break into the police station Christina here worked at and plant this device into their servers. Are you all up to it?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Did you at least get Bella's college fund out of it?"
<kalonZombee> 6*The tiger looks over
<DeathStar> <Asarar> 500,000. But it also means depending on how this current job plays out I might come back alone at points to give more information.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I could not say too much due to the contract code we hold by but if things change that might change
<DeathStar> *Asarar gears up a bit with non-lethal weapons*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "So what is the plan?"
<Seraphna> **Luci nods and grabs her shield and packs some smoothed metal rods into her subspace.**
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We use the Net to get into the school. Christina here will show us where we need to enter .
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We will try to reach the computer network as quick as possible, plant the device, and get ot
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Try not to be seen
<DeathStar> *school? station
<kalonZombee> 6*Max shifts into his humanish form and moves with Luci after grabbing his hammer and sword
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Sounds liek a date."
<DeathStar> *Asarar turns to Chris and touches her, warping her into the Net* Lead the way
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* The team arrives and finds X with earplugs in and reading while in the other room the man they captured is babbling and weeping. Spirit looks unconscious, drooling*
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> *to Truth* Let me stab him in the heart with my scythe. We can blame the captured shifter
<DeathStar> *Wyrd test swings, not noticing the others returning*
<Seraphna> Truth> Hmm... tempting.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> And that's the moment I out ran the so called fastest man on Praxus Prime.
<DeathStar> *Wyrd nods and moves to walk behind Dias, rearing back*
<DeathStar> <Warren> I see we missed the fun
<ChadWinters> Appears so.
<DeathStar> *Vesta nudges Spirit* I think she's dead
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...she's not dead. Seh just passed out from the general crazy we have going on here."
<DeathStar> *Wyrd stabs Dias if not stopped and tries to reap his soul*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias goes to say something then pauses, turning, his hand grabbing onto the hilt of the scythe
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> Noooo
<ChadWinters> <Dias> LOOK! EVERYONES BACK!
<Seraphna> **Truth pouts and steals Wyrd away**
<ChadWinters> 6Dias pauses, blinking down at his hand then at Wyrd. 1"When did you get behind me?"
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "The prez... won't...shut... up..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> *he eyes the man drooling and blood shut*
<DeathStar> <Man> I'll...stalk...make him...stop..
<DeathStar> *he passes out, ears bleeding*
<DeathStar> <Warren> How does Stacey listen to him for hours?
<Seraphna> Angela> Ear plugs.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias pats Wyrd's head and moves out around her. 1"That's a lie, Angela. And also mean."
<DeathStar> *Warren grunts nd sits bck down*
<Seraphna> **Angela rolls her eyes**
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well he broke the man so when he wakes we can interrogate him
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "He nearly broke the rest of us!"
<DeathStar> <X> Hm? *she peers up, looking fine*
<DeathStar> <X> Oh you're back
<DeathStar> *she pulls the ear plugs out*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I told you, all you need to do is talk to him. 6He crosses his arms victoriously
<DeathStar> <Darien> Dias... you were born to be a politician
<DeathStar> <Darien> I mean that trul
<ChadWinters> I feel a headache coming on. 6He sighs and moves to sit down.
<DeathStar> *Darien pats his shoulders and moves off*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> That's what Stacey told me!
<kalonZombee> <Mi'Na> ...I'm still not voting for him next election.
<Seraphna> **Angela rubs her head too**
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *the team walks through the hallways of the police station in the Net. It looks creepy and empty; using the Net these days and especially out of Kumen feels ... off. And the longer in it... well. One day the GM will reveal to it. But the characters know it is not a good idea*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *she eyes her wrist watch* We been in it 20 minutes. We're nearing the time we should probably exit
<Sara> <Chris> I feel like I read a creepy story about this once.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Oh?
<Sara> * Chris shrugs
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We need to find a safe exit point then."
<Seraphna> **LUci nods, never feeling well in the net**
<DeathStar> *as they enter the server room, Asarar moves over to where the computers are located.* Okay. I hope the map of this place is right. I'm exiting now. *she taps and vanishes*
<DeathStar> *taking Chris with her*
<DeathStar> *Asarar peers at Chris as they appear in the server room*
<Seraphna> **LUci follows and exits nearby them to cover them if there's trouble, also to shake off her timer**
<Jackieness> <Kira> *steps out into the real world and then gives Asarar a nod*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Okay. Lets do this. *she moves along the room, resetting her timer as she looks about and finds the proper place to begin using the device*
<Sara> * Chris eyes Asarar in response to Asarar's gaze, but then helps Asarar find the spot
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Okay, this looks good. *she kneels and begins to work. At that moment the door opens and a police officer walks in - an officer Chris knows*
<Sara> * Chris looks over
<Seraphna> **Luci frowns and peers to Chris a moment to see what to do**
<Jackieness> <Kira> *ninjas into a hiding spot*
<DeathStar> *it looks like a computer technician. Behind her is the officer that assigned Chris to join the team so long ago. They close the door and begin to talk*
<DeathStar> *whispering in low voices*
<Sara> * Chris groans at them trying to talk behind her back right in front of her.
<Sara> * She glances at Asarar's progress
<DeathStar> *Asarar glances over then at Chris then back at her work* <Chief> You are telling me someone has been breaking into our files trying to get Alder's files? <Cop> Yes. Do you believe... do you believe she really did everything they said she did? <Chief> ... no. I'm sure it's her sister and they're mistaken. Just look into everything again and do your ... tech stuff and see who has been playing with our systems. Someone is interested in Alder and I want to know who
<DeathStar> *he exits the room and brings a datapad up to talk into it. The technician exits as well*
<DeathStar> *Asarar seems to be 75% done*
<Sara> * Chris deadpans, unable to believe they just kind of walked out without noticing them
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Luci. Max. Kira
<Seraphna> *LUci looks to Asarar*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Can you slow that cop down before he reaches his terminal or whatever. IF he does a scan or anything while I do this
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It might be bad
<Seraphna> *LUci looks to Kira** Ninja time?
<Jackieness> <Kira> *nods and then slips over, trying to arrange a slip for the cop*
<DeathStar> *the tech cop whistles, moving for the computer area, walking past other cops in the hallway*
<Sara> * Chris eyes them, hoping they know not to use lethal force in a police station. She isn't that familiar with the team, after all, unlike her sister
<DeathStar> *sipping his coffee*
<kalonZombee> <Max> <I dunno how to ninja. I am anti-ninja.>
<Seraphna> **Luci forms a rather blunt looking shard blade and sneaks after Kira**
<Jackieness> <Kira> *keeps an eye out for something that can be useful for making sure the tech cop has a spill*
<DeathStar> *there's a water machine near him but that's about it*
<DeathStar> *jug thing*
<Sara> *water cooler
<DeathStar> (Well I was trying to decide if coolers would be around like 300 yearsish)
<Jackieness> <Kira> *nods toward the water cooler*
<DeathStar> (Hence me weird description)
<DeathStar> *the man begins to pass it*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *looks at Luci and jerks her head at the cooler again*
<Seraphna> **Luci fires a small shard of metal from her hand into the tank causing a leaking spill**
<DeathStar> *the man pauses and begins to get imbalanced*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Luci. Did you leave evidence we were here?
<DeathStar> *she begins to wrap up*
<DeathStar> *comically falling into another cop*
<Seraphna> **Luci shakes her head, as it's a dragoon summoned weapon, it vanishes**
<Jackieness> <Kira> *nods and falls back to the computer room*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Good girl. You get a cookie
<DeathStar> <Asarar> All done
<Seraphna> **Luci smiles and joins them.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It'll take a few minutes to compile
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But we should be able to leave
<Sara> <Chris> Then let's book it
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Let's go then."
<kalonZombee> <Max> Don't have to tell me twice.
<DeathStar> *Asarar touches Chris and enters the Net* We should make this trip faster due to our time last time but we know the path nwo thanks to Chris. Lets go
<Jackieness> <Kira> *passes into the Net* "I never was fond of the Net travel, bbut it feels even worse this far from Kumen."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well you know what happens if we stay too long in it. That happens
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So lets avoid a scenario of it happening again
<DeathStar> <Asarar> There is no true Net anymore since Kumen lost it. We might be the only true Net Runners left in the universe
<Jackieness> <Kira> "So what is this place then?""
<DeathStar> <Asarar> .... Another time when we do not have a guest
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Seraphna> **Luci joining them in the net frowns and nods.
<DeathStar> *Warren eyes the data begin to come in from the police station station as Chris is returned to them*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Looks like the mission is a success
<ChadWinters> It would appear so.
<Sara> <Chris> That group's got some sort of weird wannabe The Matrix thing going on though. Wonder what's up with that. *she remarks as she has a seat*
<Seraphna> Angela> It is pretty intriquing.
<DeathStar> <Warren> IF we had it we could wrap this case up immediately
<DeathStar> *he sounds like he covets it*
<DeathStar> <Warren> But so far I have found no way to replicate it
<ChadWinters> Hard to replicate something that we know nothing about.
<Seraphna> Angela> I think it might have something to do with the nature of their original universe.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Hrm
<DeathStar> *He glares at Angela for dashing his hopes*
<Seraphna> **Angela huffs** WEll we've seen now they can bring someone from ours into it.
<Seraphna> Angela> Soooo, theoretically we can go there.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Perhaps.
<ChadWinters> Is the Senator awake yet?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lets go through the files we have now and get ready
<DeathStar> -END-
