<Jackieness> I see no Chad

<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-639.5.29 - a few days after last session
<DeathStar> Location: In a Mine, In a Research Base
<DeathStar> 6* The team has found itself in Warren has taken to calling "Marcus' Folly", a failed Dragoon/Weapon Hybrid research base that the Ninth Circle was working on long ago, the failed experiments in the test tubes sometimes moving and banging against the glass and shifting. Moans heard deep in the base
<Seraphna> Angela> Yep, this was a real upgrade alright.
<DeathStar> *Warren and others like Chad, Daiman and whatnot having been going through what this mysterious N sent them file wise on the Ninth Circle*
<DeathStar> 6* Vesta seems to be musing on something the past few days
<Sara> <Chris> Am I the only one who feels like this place is slightly more creepy than a sex dungeon?
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Jeez, it's like a comic book cliche in here.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "No... I totally thought my shower was going to turn into a tentacle hentai."
<DeathStar> *a creature bangs against a tube in response to Reikana*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I'm fairly certain some of the things in here still have minds.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Not like they would think we would ever stay here, right? 6* He taps the side of his head with his index finger.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *sips his coffee* I'm more wondering where Chad vanished to the past day or two.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Something groped me when I was brushing my hair and it was not my beautiful amazing wife and that worries me.
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Maybe something in here got him
<Sara> <Chris> We can only hope
<DeathStar> <John> Please don't tell me Chad was right to be paranoid. My world view will come crashing down
<Sara> <Chris> But sadly they didn't take John
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Chad took off on the moon a few times too.
<DeathStar> <John> That hurts, Chris.
<Sara> <Chris> Yeah, well, I hurt people.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, I can tell you what he was up to
<Xanatos> 6* Kane quietly works on the N data, glancing over the group from time to time.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh yeah?
<DeathStar> <John> You hurt the ones you love~ *he sing songs to himself, peering out into the darkness*
<Sara> <Chris> He wishes. *she notes to whoever's closest*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Probably slipping away to contact his love slaves. And by that I mean his "children". And by that you know what I mean
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And it isn't Aya
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...ewwww... brain bleach."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> The weapons, yeah.
<Seraphna> Angela> Oh god Zephyr I now have an image in my head I can't get out.
<DeathStar> *Zephyr bows*
<Seraphna> Angela> Why sis? Why?
<kalonZombie> <Mina> I'll be right back, going to hit my head against the wall until I forget that
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I almost had enough evidence to arrest him before this all went out the window.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I mean, he did name his robot Id. Need I go on more.
<DeathStar> *she says, her face emotionless*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I too will be disturbed till I forget that. **she taps her head** Done.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Okay, enough goofing off.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Anyway... yeah..."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> What were we talking about again?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus crosses his arms, watching Zephyr for a few moments before looking back to Warren.
<Jackieness> .rei "Besides how much this base creeps us out?"
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Besides how much this base creeps us out?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> So, me and Kane have found some stuff but we need to decide how much we trust the source
<DeathStar> <Warren> It could be a trap
<DeathStar> *Darien works on his exoskeleton, peering up, while Wyrd seems to be looking all over the place, paranoid. X so far is MIA, perhaps stalking the place for clues*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Caveats later, what's the 'stuff'?"
<Seraphna> **Truth pets Wyrd and closes her eyes**
<DeathStar> <Warren> *glances at Kane, then grunts* It might color your judgement, but fine
<Sara> <Chris> We basically specialize at getting out of traps anyhow.
<DeathStar> <Vesta> I think we can trust the source
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "We keep blindly walking into the anyway..."
<Jackieness> them
<Xanatos> 6* Kane begins bringing up the data on the main screen.
<Sara> <Chris> That's sadly how we got so good at getting out of them.
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> *studies Vesta, seeing if she looks shifty*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Please continue."
<DeathStar> <Warren> It seems to be plans for the Ninth Circle, travel plans and locations where President Dias plans to be for his speeches in the next few days for his new recruitment thing. It also goes more into his WATCH program and what it is about*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus stares at Vesta and then gets a look on his face.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It seems these WATCH programs are gathering people in centers and doing something. The informant could not determine what but added a note that they believe they are being swapped.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> OH, Necia. This is from her?
<DeathStar> <Vesta> I believe so
<DeathStar> <Vesta> Necia has been missing for a long time since Ben
<DeathStar> <Vesta> But she can't help but meddle
<Seraphna> **Angela muses softly** She's probably been on his trail like Cheryl.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "So... any chance we could swap a Dias for a Dias?"
<Xanatos> <Kane> Hm. 6* He goes back to look at the data, looking for anything in there that may indicate Necia's style of coding.
* ChadWinters has joined #TAW-Session382
<DeathStar> *there is indeed, knowing what to look for, indicates it is Necia*
<DeathStar> <Warren> So we have a lead of two things. We could go after this WATCH center or try to head off the fake Dias
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Both. We'll do both.
<DeathStar> <Warren> She also sent some notes where she thinks the heroes are being held and it is indeed in the mountains, so Em is on the right track
<Seraphna> Angela> I think the WATCH center is the more damaging.
<DeathStar> *at that moment there is a knock on the base door*
<Sara> <Chris> I think that entirely depend--
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> There's nothing to say we can't split up and do both, but I'd prefer a focused appro-
<Seraphna> **Angela raises a brow**
* ChadWinters steps in from somewhere else, wiping his hands clean and glances towards the door
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...did anyone order a pizza?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Also going over the research of the Dragoon/Weapon hybrids. *he continues, ignoring it, perhaps figuring someone will answer it* It seems despite the numerous tests they did, they all failed due to eventual celluar break down
<DeathStar> <Warren> So X's team might want to keep an eye on X despite her seemingly being fine
<Xanatos> <Kane> It does indeed appear to be Necia's style. Though that could perhaps be faked. 6* He reasons out loud to Warren.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "So... should I, like, get the door?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'll do it. 6* He moves off to check the door.
<Seraphna> **Angela sighs and nods**
<DeathStar> *there's a cute tap tap tap tap tap- pause - tappity tap tap tpa*
<DeathStar> *As Marcus nears*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Yeah... I'll go kee an eye on MArcus." *follows MArcus to the door*
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> Whoever it is, they are annoying
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses at the door.
<DeathStar> <John> Not me
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Who's there?
<Seraphna> Angela> So far only Angelos' method showed no longer term issues. Course no one was quite that insane till he came along.
<DeathStar> <Female Voice> I got a package her for a Mister Marcus. *Lemon leans back, considering all this*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I hate to divide the teams again for both missions. But we might have to do it
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "you order something, MArcus? Its not something perverted, is it?"
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Oh, it's probably his chew toys
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Be ready. 6* He tells Rei as he pulls out his shotgun, pulling the door open.
<ChadWinters> It might be the only way to tackle them. 6He looks over at Lemon
<DeathStar> *there's a package there - a human sized one*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...did you order a sex doll?!"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> ....
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Oh it's Chad. We figured a monster in here got you
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus shakes his head and looks to see if there's an easy open, fully expecting a trap.
<Sara> <Chris> Please say you did; the alternatives would be worse.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Told you he wandered off to make a call
<DeathStar> *John leans around to eye Marcus and the package* Marcus, you gave away our location for such a thing?
<DeathStar> *the package's top looks easily opened - as if someone quickly got in after knocking*
<ChadWinters> One can only hope. 6He shrugs at Cheryl and then glances at Zephyr. 1"Wouldn't do that and risk someone tracing it here."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> This seems like some Sunny bomb shit. 6* He opens it anyway
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "He says as he opens it, hoping its a sex doll."
<DeathStar> *a fox/wolf cub leaps onto Marcus' head then onto Reikana's head*
<Seraphna> **Angela peers over** What in the...
<DeathStar> *peering down at her face*
<Sara> <Chris> That Ren kid?
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> ...I don't want to know what kinky shit you're into Marcus
<DeathStar> *the cub bats Reikana, then leaps into the box and Ren rises up, adjusting her uniform* I'm here as asked
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "*lets out a sigh of relief* "Ren! We were afraid Marcus had ordered a sex doll!"
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na gives Marcus a look
<DeathStar> <Ren> I was listening. Marcus couldn't afford me
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Like I would need a sex doll. 6* He pffts and walks back over to his spot.
<DeathStar> *Ren walks inside, wearing a prestine white uniform like Cran wears* So what can I help with?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Fffffff!"
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> I have literally never seen you even look at a woman sexually.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Or a man for that matter.
<Seraphna> **Tabetha smiles and scoops Ren into a hug**
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> ...Marcus are you ace?
<DeathStar> *Lemon turns to Marcus* Alright everyone, focus
<DeathStar> *to Mi'Na mostly*
<DeathStar> *she sounds like Cheryl for a moment*
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na nods and turns back to Lemon
<DeathStar> *Ren hugs Tabetha back*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Marcus, which problem do you want to focus on. I'll lead the other team this time
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Ren, we need to get the band back together!"
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks annoyed that Lemon cut him off. He lets out a breath and rubs his face.
* ChadWinters tosses the rag to the side as he looks over at Marcus
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I can take Dias and go after the other Dias.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Out of your and X's team we should probably pick who will help accomplish this
<DeathStar> <Lemon> And I will take the rest
<ChadWinters> 6Dias pops in at the mention of his name. 1"You called?!"
<DeathStar> <Ren> That would be fun. *she muses to Reikana*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Maybe when we both have some free time again
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Do we know anymore details about the meeting spot. How much stealth will be needed to take the other Dias?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Totally."
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> <Please telling me we're not going to go deal with two Dias's...>
<DeathStar> <Warren> Apparently he's giving a speech in this building here. *be brings up the building - it's in the the south-east* It'll probably have high security. It might be a trap, not because of Necia but because they might be trying to draw you al lin
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll stay here and feed you the floor plan but it seems to be 2 stories, has a auditorium for the crowd, and will have the press
<DeathStar> <Warren> From there Necia's notes say he'll travel in unknown means to the next city
<DeathStar> <Warren> So you'll have another shot
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Where's X? I'm sure she would like to go after a Dias.
<ChadWinters> So do we want to hit him at the building or when he's traveling?
<Seraphna> Angela> Travelling would be smarter, it's hard to set up a trap in a convoy.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> What do you want to do Dias? Traveling or Building?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Ummm...I haven't had a fight on a moving object in awhile. That sounds fun.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Plus while having a crowd watch me beat my fake, there' too big of a risk that they'll be used as shields.
<DeathStar> *X steps in and leans against a wall, looking tired*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...Dias is actually thinking ahead... are we sure we have the real one?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well last time didn't you all free the fake one?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Dias thinks plenty when there's a fight on the line.
<DeathStar> <John> Dias only thinks about fighting
<DeathStar> <John> Everything else he's got 1 stats
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Freed the fake one because we thought he was the real one."
<ChadWinters> <Dias> That's not always true, John. Stacey's helped me with expanding my horizons.
<DeathStar> <Stacey> *from her magazine* I'll believe it when I see it
<ChadWinters> <Dias> See?! She believes in me.
<DeathStar> <John> ... I'm going back to being senile
<DeathStar> <John> It's easier that way
<Seraphna> **Angela shakes her head**
* ChadWinters glances at X briefly then at the others.
<DeathStar> *John lifts his fist up to hit himself in the head*
<Seraphna> *Tabetha pats John*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Do that and I will be upset with you, mister.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> So you're taking yourself, Dias, and X?
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> <Again, we don't have to deal with 2 Dias's, right?>
<DeathStar> <Lemon> That is all?
<DeathStar> *Lemon finally speaks up*
<ChadWinters> You might want to bring more, Marcus. I imagine atleast they'll atleast be one more weapon with X.
<ChadWinters> *Dias*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You heard the Dias. We need more. Volunteers? Whoever doesn't volunteer will go with Lemon.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "I'm sure Wyrd would have a therapeutic moment from eatting fake Dias's soul."
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> I'm not interested unless he wants me
<Seraphna> **Angela tilts her head** Yeah I think she asked you to pick.
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> I have my eyes on someone else
<Seraphna> **Truth blinks**
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "wow, someone you want to kill more than a version of Dias?"
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> I'm on whatever team Angela is on, considering I'm still, by Gitar law, her bodyguard
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Angela. Mi'na. 6* He smiles wide.
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Violent
<Seraphna> **Angela shrugs** I expected as much, either way Cherry is going to sneak into your fight so I need to look out for her.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Hey, that sounds like a presidential throwdown now!"
<ChadWinters> I imagine she's want the shapeshifter that...6He motions to Truth.
<Seraphna> **Truth peers down**
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...ok... creep factor went up."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Probably. After all to copy Wyrd it had to have defeat her
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Rei, Ren, and Cherry as well. That's almsot our regular team isn't it?
<Seraphna> Angela> I mean, if Darien and Kane somehow joined us it'd be the battle of the Executive Branch.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh wow, I'm off the bench, coach.
<DeathStar> *Cherry leans in* Did someone call for me?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> We're gonna go fight another Dias, you in? 6* He says to Cherry
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Hooo boy."
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Well I was going to lurk until you were bleeding out again
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Johnny, I think your disciples have left us out.
<DeathStar> <John> They all have to grow up sometime
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh secret backup is a good play. Yeah. 6* He hmms
<DeathStar> <John> I'll just save my final attack for the other team
<DeathStar> *he winks*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Okay. *She rises* Everyone - gear up
<ChadWinters> 6Dias lets out a big stretch. 1"This'll be fun."
<Seraphna> Tabetha> That better be a neat attack and not some final sacrifice thing where I weep for losing my pilot.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Welcome back to the club, Ren."
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Lets see if we can't end this in one precise attack and then clean up the final shifters afterward
<DeathStar> <John> Have some faith in me. That's my second final attack
<Seraphna> *Tabetha sighs and leans against him**
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP/SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Near the WATCH Facility
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon adjusts her armor while Wyrd, Vesta, and Darien check their gear one last time. John bounces on his feet, limbering up. Zephyr seems quiet, in thought
<Seraphna> **Tabetha checks her gear, Reese and Truth doing the same*
<Xanatos> <Cole> Feels weird being on a mission that X isn't leading. 6* He sits there with a sad face.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I'll try to live up her reputation. Vesta, do some recon for us.
* ChadWinters glances at Cole then at the facility.
<DeathStar> *Vesta salutes with her flame sword and moves off* <Lemon> Zephyr, set up a position with your bustah to provide cover if we need it. I'll have you come in if necessary
<Seraphna> **Reese adjusts his rifle, checking the scope, he seems in a better mood since knowing Vodka is safe somewhere**
<DeathStar> *Lemon turns to Chris, Chad, Cole, Tabetha and the others* We're going to try to find a way in as quietly as possible
<Xanatos> 6* Cole nods once, though his only silence is his fists.
<DeathStar> *Lemon checks the layout sent; the WATCH facility looks to be a friendly welcoming center for people to come in and sign up, but it seems a rather large building with multiple floors*
* ChadWinters nods as he looks the exterior of the building over
<DeathStar> <Lemon> The map says there is a back door and two emergency exits. But those will trigger alarms.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Necia's map indicates there might be a basement level
<Xanatos> <Cole> I can get us to the roof. But a group this large really takes it out of me.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> So we bypass the alarms or see if the basement has an accessway.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Anyone here capable of bypassing alarms?
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Chad?
<ChadWinters> Depends on if I can access them, I should be able to
<DeathStar> <Lemon> We give it a try. IF not, we go underground and check the access way.
<DeathStar> *Wyrd looks bored, peering around as they move along the way. They can see people standing in line moving to become part of WATCH and one little kid wearing a shirt of Dias' face on it and one wearing a Dias in a gi outfit*
<DeathStar> <John> I'minhell, I'minhell, I did something bad in life..
<DeathStar> <John> It was because I touched women's butts
<Seraphna> **Tabetha boops his nose**
<DeathStar> *they reach the door and it looks like your average emergency exit door*
<DeathStar> <John> *he leans in close to Tabetha* Dias rules the planet
<DeathStar> *he says all conspiracy like*
* ChadWinters pulls out his datapad, eyeing the emergency exit door to see if he can acess it
<Xanatos> 6* Cole cross his arms and leans against the wall watching out for anyone that may be watching them.
<Seraphna> *Tabetha whispers back* Re-election might be hard after letting the planet fall to shapeshifters.
<DeathStar> <John> True. *he nods, arms crossed* Then I will run and rule the planet
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I will back you.
<DeathStar> *it seems to be a standard emergency exit door, likely not that easily hacked - I mean, if people can hack such doors, what would be the point*
* ChadWinters clicks his tongue, glancing down at his datapad to see if he can access the buildings systems to temporarily bypass the door's security
<DeathStar> *Chad would see the building surprisingly has high security and one would have to get inside to access them, likely on a closed circuit*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I can tell Chad is doing tongue thing.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> So do we just push this door open and quickly close it or try underground
<ChadWinters> It's on a closed circuit. Way too secure of a system for this to be a reporting it only.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Or do you think you can teleport us inside Cole
<Xanatos> <Cole> Just past door? I could give it a shot. Blind jump though.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That might alert them, too
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Well, I'll leave it to a group vote.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Try to find a way underground, Cole, or just open the door
<Xanatos> 6* Cole eyes Lemon at the 'just open the door' part.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Is there really a genuinely successful choice beyond the underground access?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> *smiles* It can happen. And the map does not actually say there is an underground access
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Tabetha brought it up
<Seraphna> Tabetha> A lot of these buildings have an acceess to a sewerway or local transit tubes. It's just a guess.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> So we might waste time checking. And Darien is right, a teleport might alert them. But just briefly opening and reclosing it they might think some employee was lazy
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Maybe. Doubtful
<ChadWinters> At the most they'll definetly check it.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole shrugs, not caring which thing they do.
<ChadWinters> Well times wasting.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> *opens the door and steps in*
<DeathStar> *Darien jerks and hobbles in and John flips in, pulling Chris in*
<DeathStar> *Wyrd floats in*
<ChadWinters> Seem's both have the same chance of getting us caught. Might as well save the teleport for emergency retreat. 6Moves in after them
<Xanatos> 6* Cole slips in as quickly as he can.
<Seraphna> *Sera's people slip in**
<DeathStar> *Lemon slams it shut*
<DeathStar> *the team, now in a hallway that looks plain, goes down with a few doors down the way and the hallway branches off way further down*
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Well, we're in. *she begins to march down, eyeing the datapad map*
<DeathStar> <Darien> Just let me say I have a bad feeling about this
* ChadWinters unholsters his gun, flicking it to stun as he walks along, his eyes focused down the hallway. 1"You always have a bad feeling about something."
<DeathStar> <John> Narrow space, enemy strong hold, shapeshifters
<DeathStar> <John> What fun!
<Seraphna> **Tabetha moves along, Reese as well, Truth moving along the rear of the group for once**
<DeathStar> <Darien> I've always had a great feeling about you, Chad. A wonderful feeling
<ChadWinters> Seem's misplaced.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Of course.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> So your senses have always been off?
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... sarcasm is always lost with you guys
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Marcus Team
<DeathStar> 6* The building seems to have a decent crowd inside with guards all about it. The building seems to be a rather large one, dome shaped
<DeathStar> *X stares out at nothing while Cherry is doing the hiding thing*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> So many people.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You alright? 6* He glances over at X
<DeathStar> <X> Just thinking
<DeathStar> <X> So we know where his transport is going to be located?
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Roughly
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "So when do we hit it?"
<DeathStar> *Ren shrugs* Really? The information sent to us says this N person had n oidea
<DeathStar> <Ren> *peers out at the building* So should we get eyes on the target and follow him?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I thought we were gonna wait for him to get into a vehicle and leave.
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... well that would be riskyh
<Seraphna> Angela> Getting eyes on the target seems like a logical first step.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah we want him away from this, on the move. Speaking of which, we need wheels.
<Seraphna> Angela> We don't know where he's coming in from, but nothing is stopping us from watching him leave.
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes the team, her right ear flicking a bit like her sibling and mother*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "And Real Dias shoudl stay out of sight."
<Seraphna> Angela> Why not wait and just attack him after he leaves on the road?
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus checks their info just in face to see if they've missed anything.
<Xanatos> (in case)
<DeathStar> <X> Well that armored vehicle does have other vehicles around it. So it should be the presidental ride. Should be
<DeathStar> *she points one out*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Too bad we could just wait inside of it.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...how about I get creative with makeup... go in to watch the speech... then keep eyes out for where he goes...?"
<ChadWinters> *couldn't*
<Seraphna> Angela> Should is an operative term. Rei's got the idea. We can confirm where he is by wathcing him leave.
<DeathStar> *the information states the Necia is not sure what mode of transport the fake Dias will use, but does know where he will go next in case they miss him, his next speeh being in 2 days*
<DeathStar> <X> Well the speech is ending soon
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Angela's right though, we do want eyes on him just to be sure. Losing track of him would be bad at this point.
<DeathStar> <X> So if you want to get down there and try to get in, you better do it now
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *nods and heads out, adjusting her makeup as she goes*
<DeathStar> *X eyes the datapad, watching the speed that way*
<DeathStar> *speech
<Seraphna> * Angela fixes her now amber hair, joning Rei in makeup and such to go with her*
<DeathStar> *Ren watches Reikana go toward the dome building. The people in the building check Angela and Reikana for weapons, then see if they have tickets to the event*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Do those guard vehicles have drivers? I bet some of us could replace some. 6* He points out to X.
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na follows with her black hair, wearing a hat to hide her ears
<DeathStar> *the fiends - making them pay and then shapeshifting them later. The true evil*
<Seraphna> * Angela, being someone who summons her weapons, is unarmed. She handles the tickets.*
<DeathStar> <X> Yes. Drivers would be needed for reacting to events on the road
<DeathStar> <X> Automatic vehicles can't do that
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Well should we go relive them of duty?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Thanks for spotting me. Let's go before we miss out. I want to try to get the president's autograph!"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Sound good to me. 6* He begins to move down toward the motorcade.
<DeathStar> <X> Why do I see this ending bad?
<Seraphna> **Angela nods and moves with Rei**
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *heads inside
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Because that's how things usually go? It's that or we wait and try hitting their cars down the road
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na moves with Angela, having left her weapons behind, but she's also good at hand to hand so it's not that much of a detriment
<ChadWinters> 6Dias moves to catch up to Marcus
<DeathStar> *even as Marcus nears, the equivalent of the secret service for EarthGov take note of them nearing the vehicles, positioned near the building and the motorcade, talking int osomething*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias grabs Marcus shoulder and points at something to the side, away from the vehicles.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus tries to count how many secret service are there before he turns to look at what Dias is pointing at, diverting away for now.
<DeathStar> *inside, Reikana, Angela and Mi'Na would see President Dias going on about the dangers to Earth and other stuff, talking about Geyze and Kumen as we all as the other worlds* The universe is a dangerous place, with unknown forces running rampant and beings of unknown power, beings replacing people of power. That is why WATCH is being made so ordinary citizens can do their part. *he smiles charmingly* So you can all be heroes too. I hope you, too, can be part of this
<DeathStar> *they spot at least 3 nearby, but who knows how many are about*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...I want to join WATCH..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Really?
<DeathStar> *she asks Reikana in a whisper, having joined them*
<DeathStar> *the President points and takes a few questions, holds up a kid and poses with them for a picture, and has some fun with the crowd and taking questions
<Seraphna> Angela> *just smiles, going along with what she assumes to be an act*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *lowers voice* "...I'm playing the role of a Dias fangirl."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Man if you get nabbed by them to be made an example, I'll kick you
<DeathStar> *she whispers*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *just looks at Ren flatly*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> They're going to drive ahead and try to divert whenever we attack, so we need to hit his armored car straight up. I may need to wolf throw you at it. 6* He says to Dias as they keep walking, trying to find the perimeter of the secret service.
<DeathStar> <President Dias> That's all the time I have for now but I hope many of you join WATCH and we'll be having one open in your city soon, too
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Like a Dias bomb. I like the way you think.
<DeathStar> *he holds up his hand and moves into the back with his secret service following. Marcus would see that they have the block covered with people, likely keeping an eye on maniacs like Dias and Marcus*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *Pulls out a notebook and makes like a fangirl trying to get close for an autograph*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> We'll need to wait for them to start driving. I don't think I'll be able to handle that many people with guns.
<DeathStar> *they then begin to talk into their communications, likely getting ready to move*
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> ...Humility? From Dias? What?
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> <Honey I think I hear my brain breaking>
<DeathStar> *Dias on his way to the back pauses to sign Reikana's thing and thumbs up as he exits into the back*
<kalonZombie> 6*Scratch those Mi'Na lines
<Seraphna> **Angela muses, whispering to Rei** I think we're going to lose sight of him in the back.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *thumbs up and then waves at Dias, trying to draw out how long she keeps eyes on him*
<DeathStar> <X on comm> They're getting into position.
<DeathStar> *Reikana would lose sight as soon as he goes into the back stage*
<DeathStar> <Ren> *whisper* Well unless one of us wants to risk making a scene to go back there
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus looks for a good spot for him and Dias to get too. Opting to go up high.
<DeathStar> <Ren> We have no idea what he's up to
<DeathStar> *X sits on the roof edge, keeping an eye on things*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *nods and then looks at Angela* "Show's over. Time to do something fun."
<Seraphna> **Angela nods** Not too fun I hope.
<DeathStar> *the secret service moves someone into the back seat of the armored vehicle, as they look around warily. He sticks a thumb up and waves at some people who have stepped out of the building to watch the vehicle leave but the servive people keep them back*
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> I like fun.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *puts her arms pver Ren and Angela's shoulders* "Let's go watch the motorcade."
<ChadWinters> 6Dias glances over to see if he can recognize his own thumb
<Seraphna> Angela> Yeah we can totally wave goodbye then. **she giggles**
<Xanatos> <Marcus> *c* Pretty hard to see if it's him or not.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *starts walking to get outside and around the building*
<DeathStar> *Dias is not able to tell one way,.. or the other?*
<Seraphna> Angela> *c* Well we lost sight, could be.
<DeathStar> *the motorcade begins to move out and the other armored cars begin to mov to protect it*
<DeathStar> <X on comm> Well decide now. If this is a decoy, we're wasting time. If it is the real thing it's moving out
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Hmmm...
<DeathStar> <X on comm> If the real one is being moved elsewhere we need to know
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *whispers* "We could try to get into the building once the motorcade is on its way to confirm."
<Seraphna> Angela> *c* Want us to recon the building while you follow?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> *c* Yeah that's a great idea.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias takes in a deep breath activating his Will of the Indominable and feeling out the motorcade for someone strong like Dias.
<DeathStar> *Dias does feel someone very strong in the car*
<DeathStar> *maybe it's an angry cat*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *looks for a way inside the building*
<DeathStar> *X meanwhile moves to ground level to get her car/shuttle, transforming the shuttle into car mode, having retrieved it somehow off screen to begin driving*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Someone strong is in the motorcade.
<DeathStar> *the building is being cleared out of people as Ren and Reikana return*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias notes to Marcus.
<DeathStar> *it looks like some people are lingering and talking about the speech still*
<Seraphna> *Angela keeps an eye out, trying to think of other means they have of transporting Dias*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Alright, let's keep track of it, give the others a bit more time. We will cannonball this thing before they get away though.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Let's look for the 'bathroom'."
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na walks with Angela, looking about
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Have X pick us up then.
<Seraphna> **Angela nods to Rei and starts looking around** Come on girls, restroom time.
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes the back stage area, now no longer being protected by secret service as much*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> *C* X, we're waiting for a pick up.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well we could try to get back there
<Xanatos> 6* He tells her their location after checking the datapad.
<DeathStar> *X rolls her eyes* Boys. *She drives past them, only slowing down a small bit*
<Seraphna> **Angela nods** Those areas always have one.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *thumbs up and heads for the back*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias leaps for the vehicle, grabbing the door handle and climbing in
<DeathStar> <Ren> *creeps into the back; it looks to be rather large for to prepare whatever it is they need and has multiple rooms, etc. and other stuff*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... *she eyes her datapd* I am picking up an energy signature
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *mouths 'where'*
<DeathStar> *Ren leads them toward a back area*
<Seraphna> **Angela peers around, keeping up the looking for the bathroom story**
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus leaps for the vehicle, climbing in as well.
<kalonZombie> 6*As does Mi'Na
<DeathStar> *X continues to speed, following the motorcade, heading for the next city it appears if one checks their route*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> It's either my fake me or another shapeshifter Weapon.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Definitely matches up with the info we got.
<DeathStar> *Ren peeks in the room* The energy signature was used in here. *it seems to be an empty room.*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Have a match on the enegy type?"
<Seraphna> Angela> I'm guessing a teleport?
<DeathStar> <Ren> A very small teleporter maybe. Could have been a personal teleporter maybe
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Coming or going?"
<Seraphna> Angela> I was afraid of that.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I can't tell you that.
<DeathStar> <Ren> If we could find the coordinates we could track the user
<Seraphna> Angela> Means the motorcade is possibly a trap carrying another weapon like Ripple.
<DeathStar> *X eyes a bridge coming up* This might be the chance to try to ambush them
<Seraphna> * ANgela pulls out her own datapad and does a scan, trying to see if she can narrow things down**
<DeathStar> *Ren checks the area, seeing if there's anything the personal teleporter left behind*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Works for me.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus nods to X.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Message the others." *looks around*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> *c* We have a good spot coming up to attack. Find anything?
<Seraphna> **Angela taps her comms* Guys, be advised, we found an energy signature, probably a teleport. You're likely tracking a red herring.
<DeathStar> *outside the last of the secret service cars are cranking up. Ren's ears twitch.*
<DeathStar> <Ren> The last of the cars are leaving here
<DeathStar> <Ren> It might be a long shot but that vehicle might have a clue. Depends on the type of teleporter
<Seraphna> Angela> Do we want to track them or use this as a chance to look around with less risk?
<Seraphna> Angela> Ah, short range teleport into another vehicle... could be.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias glances over at Marcus. 1"What's the call boss man?"
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "We should check it out. The building will stay here, but he car won't."
<Seraphna> Angela> Let's at least try to get a scan of it.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Someone that strong would be good to get off the board. But then Fias would know we're coming for him.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *heads to where the last vehicle is*
<DeathStar> *X speeds up to try to cut off the vehicles; at that moment the last of the motorcades supprot cars turn around and drive right at X's car*
<DeathStar> <X> Too late.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ah shit we've been made.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I would expect him to expect us coming at them.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Let's fuck them up then. 6* He begins climbing out onto the roof of the car.
<DeathStar> *X keeps it steady*
<DeathStar> *Ren hurries out of the building; the last of the secret service cars is getting away from Reikana*
<Seraphna> *Angela moves out towards the motorcade, keeping her scanner running in her pocket for the energy signature**
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "There is it!"
<ChadWinters> 6Dias grins and climbs out his door and onto his roof. 1"This is gonna be a blast
<Seraphna> *Angela nods and tries to tag it for a scan*
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na follows behind Angela, keeping her in eyesight**
<DeathStar> *the enemy motorcade car slams into X's car, trying to knock her off the bridge*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus leaps to land on the roof over the motorcade car.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...we don't have a ride..."
<ChadWinters> 6Dias leaps off the roof of the car and onto one of the other motorcade cars hoods.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well, it's getting away too. *Angela would pick up something - perhaps the personal teleporter is on that car*
<Seraphna> Angela> Got it... I think it might be the teleported thing.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Anyone know a way we cna catch up and keep it in sight?"
<Seraphna> **Angela saves the energy signature and muses** Yes... but it'll get us a lot of attention.
<DeathStar> *Dias barely makes it onto the other car, sliding down the back of it*
<DeathStar> *the car Marcus is on, a secret service agent rises up and fires a gun at him*
<Seraphna> **Angela starts looking for a car to steal instead while people consider the risk**
<DeathStar> <Ren> They'll likely toss the teleporter or destroy it if they feel made
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "...oh, right,... the dragon thing is total overkill."
<Seraphna> Angela> So we can let them go and keep that trump card for later.
<kalonZombie> <Mi'Na> Yeah, unfortunatey
<ChadWinters> 6Dias slams his fist into trunk of the car to give him a hand hold.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus kicks out at the guy aim, his right hand shifting to a wolf claw to pierce down for the roof to hang on.
<Seraphna> Angela> We have another try in 48 hours.
<Seraphna> Angela> In which case we should get to the others to support them.
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Still need a ride."
<DeathStar> *Ren nods* ... *eyes that car going with it, like it burns her gear* Hold on
<DeathStar> *she tries her datapad*
<DeathStar> *Marcus kicks the guy and knocks him down. X revs up like she might smash into Dias but actually is giving him a foot hold*
<Seraphna> Angela> **approaches a nearby car while Ren tries her thing*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias plants his foot on to the new foot hold and kicks off it, attempting to smash himself through the rear window and inside the car to handle the guys inside
<DeathStar> *a few minutes later a package arrives from the sky*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus hurks and pulls, trying to rip over the roof to get at the driver.
<DeathStar> *and Ren activates it, it turning into a car*
<DeathStar> *Marcus finally rips the hood off*
<Seraphna> * ANgela looks over, shrugs, and gets in* Better than hotwiring.
<kalonZombie> 6*Mi'Na slips in next to Angela
<DeathStar> *Ren gets into the driver seat* I drive
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *climbs into the car*
<DeathStar> *Dias smashes into the men inside, who try to shoot him but do more damage to themselves*
<DeathStar> *Ren then begins to drive, having to force hersel to go after Marcus an the others*
<Xanatos> 6* How far is Marcus from another car?
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "The others are probably alreayd being ambushed."
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Hi everybody! 6He waves then starts doing whatever he can do minimize the damage to himself while also trying to keep them from killing themselves
<Seraphna> * Angela listens to the comms* Yeah. Which means when we get there we can go in hard.
<Seraphna> *Angela pulls out a small device*
<DeathStar> *tentacles grab Marcus suddenly*
<DeathStar> *then lift him up as his car begins to smoke*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus jerks around, not expecting tentacles.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias then swings his fist out for the drives head, in an attempt to disable him.
<DeathStar> *X drives around the side of Dias' car, with only the main armored car left and begins to pull up beside it and the tentacled throw him onto Dias' car*
<DeathStar> *Dias knocks the driver out as the car begins to veer wildly and out of control*
<DeathStar> *Cherry lands on top of X's car*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias reaches over to slam the gear in to park even if it means sending him out the front windshield
<Seraphna> **Angela activates it when they start closing in and gets ready, closing her eyes a moment to activate her Beta Protocol**
<DeathStar> *Ren turns the radio on as she drives along*
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Mood music. Good call, Ren."
<DeathStar> *X peers back as Dias go through the front windshield and for the road. Cherry sighs and grabs Dias with a tentacle*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Good save time two!
<DeathStar> *twisting and having to grab Marcus, too since he'll likely fly, too*
<Seraphna> **When in range, Angela begins to direct Dakota's decent so it heads for the armored car**
<ChadWinters> 6Dias rolls along the road then is pulled back. 1"Holy hell that was fun!"
<DeathStar> <X> Alright, lets do this.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Thanks for the assist Cherry.
<DeathStar> <Cherry> I can't keep this up. I'm burning dark energy and you know that's bad
<DeathStar> <Cherry> Try not to keep getting thrown around
<ChadWinters> <Dias> We should be good now. Take a breather.
<DeathStar> *X finally catches up to the target*
