<DeathStar> Date: 10-641.9.10
<DeathStar> Location: Suisen Territory, near the Tsivrixsh Border
<DeathStar> 6* Using Iceheart's Ship, the team has traveled to a planet near the Tsivrixsh border. The planet is on the rough side, being low technology and clearly for people who want to avoid the law, so it is unsure why they joined the Suisen Empire, but it has the technology to teleport here and there. Set up at a bar, Lorelei's team is waiting on their informant while Iceheart, Ruby Carter, leans back in her own seat, drinking*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sips a drink and muses**
<DeathStar> *Rachael drums her fingers on the table, drinking something that makes her cough*
<DeathStar> *Ako hums quietly, having joined the team before they left for this adventure while Thomas reads a book quietly*
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt leans back in his chair, his feet up on the table. He tilts his hat up a bit as he reaches for a bottle. 1"Atleast the booze isn't half bad here.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So... this count as a bad guy bar?"
<Seraphna> Michelle> It’s a right rough and tumble.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei looks around, the bar having a mixture of people who look to be keeping to their own corners, giving suspicious looks, those that are making deals, everyone holding weapons; probably*
<Xanatos> 6*Valen pulls some weird advanced flask out of his pocket. It has some clear liquid in it and when he opens the list a little mist of icy air wafts up out of it.
<Alicia> <Asha> "It's just the rough area of town. I wouldn't call it 'bad guy'."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan leans over** Is that like, super booze?
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin plays with a toothpick, turning it over and over between his fingers.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> If you pass out, we'll leave you here
<Xanatos> <Valen> I spent all of my money on this flask. It's amazing, try it. 6* He offers it to Kaelan.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "'Bad Guy Bar' sounds better than 'pub of the social fringe'."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> No one has tried to kill us yet, it could be worse.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sniffs gently and tries a tiny sip**
<Xanatos> 6* Valen nods knowingly. It's just ice cold water.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Clearly because this is neutral ground and we haven't done something stupid."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Ah, the hard stuff. Too much for Rachael.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> It's just a backwater world where people can conduct business out of the sight of big brother.
<Alicia> <Asha> "I kinda like it."
<DeathStar> *the doors to the bar open and all eyes turn to eye who comes inside. Shretrav walks inside quietly, people stiffening up and some hands moving to their weapons as she walks along, wearing what looks like some sort of outfit that you might find on a planet with a lot of dust storms, removing a cloth off her face and moving to sit down. The crowd soon relaxes as Shretrav leans over their table, eyeing the group*
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> I'm here.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Welcome.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What a coincidence, so are we. **ear wiggle**
<DeathStar> *Ako nods to her*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> I take it you made it here without any trouble?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Where-ever you go, there you are."
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Well, I don't think I was followed.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "You make it sound like we're doing something shifty."
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> *the blue skinned alien cups her hands together, mimicing a human posture, peering at Celeste* This one of those Tamplars? <Ako> Templars. <Shretrav> They tempt people?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I think the word is from 'temple'."
<Alicia> <Celeste> "...I'm not sure I want to know what I'm supposed to tempt people to do."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It’s oddly an Earth word that somehow got to another Galaxy. It’s a kind of warrior.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Join your cause would be the first thing.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "True enough there."
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> I never had much need for temples. *she peers at Durt* Yes, I heard you wanted me to help you get into the Empire
<Xanatos> 6* Valen drinks from his water flask and then slides it back into his pocket afterward.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yeah we've got some hunting to do.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan shifts to look like Shretrav, but different enough**
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It would be helpful. And from there try to find both the God that is there and if possible try bring the Tsivrixsh to the war effort against the Dark Ones and stop the fake Kyuun
<Alicia> <Asha> "Showoff."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...because Kaelan is totally creeping now."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You’ll be thinking different when you need someone to look Tsiv.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Figured we could try to kill two birds with one stone.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> We're probably biting off more than we can chew here, but it's worth a shot.
<DeathStar> *Shretrab eyes Kaelan hard, then the others* I'm not sure how well you could convince my people. It would take a warrior to speak their language. I bonded with Hildegard at the time, but she managed to reach out to my crew and myself.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well I’m good at kicking butt.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> I do not see how you can manage such a feat, but I will help you with your God hunt. And if we can kill a fake Kyuun, all the better
<Jackieness> <Moira> "so do we have to just kick someone's ass to make this work?"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei muses* It might be more complicated than that, but lets go with that
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> It'll work out. We're good at figuring stuff out on the fly.
<DeathStar> <Ako> ... are you really?
<Alicia> <Asha> "Are we really trying to sneak in?"
<Jackieness> <Moira> *wiggles her hand in the kinda-sorta motion* "Ehhhhhh..."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Really we just get very lucky. 6* He says to Ako with a knowing nod.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> I will think of something. *she turns to Ruby* I will take over their transport from here. *Ruby nods* <Iceheart> Good luck. *she toasts them,*
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt shrugs and takes a pull from the bottle.
<DeathStar> *Shretrav rises and moves to exit the bar*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **tries some Tsiv, which it seems she knows**
<DeathStar> *Thomas closes his book and follows, with Ako, Rachael, Lorelei following*
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt gets up out of his chair, tossing some credits down to cover a tip and grabs the bottle, moving to follow
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I'll tell the others on the ship to join you.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *rises and heads with the group*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Great. We might want to look independant though."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen and Kellin both get up and move to leave with the group. Kellin giving Iceheart a wink and a shoulder pat as he passes by.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> *nods to him*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan follows, Michelle gulps the rest of her drink and joins Kellin**
<DeathStar> *Shretrav hands Celeste the docking address if she wants to do so*
<DeathStar> *As they head out, Shretrav heads for the ship docks, while one of the people leave the bar, a bounty hunter, quietly tracking the group.*
<DeathStar> *they soon arrive at a small Tsivrixsh ship* <Shretrav> Here
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Where's the first place we're hitting? 6He looks at Shretrav
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> I'll say it when we're out of range of ears. *at the ship Shion and Zegretta, who are loading supplies from Iceheart's ship*
<Seraphna> **Sia and Lia are helping as two tiny catgirls can**
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Good to hear. 6He rests his hands behind his head as he looks the ship over
<Xanatos> <Valen> What sort of comforts does this ship have? 6* He asks of the Tsiv ship
<DeathStar> *As they get everything loaded into the ship and their supplies in place, Shretrav sits down in a captain seat. Ako straps herself in, the Tsivrixsh ship looks to lack any luxury stuff, and is clearly a war ship, however small it is*
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> ... comforts?
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> You'll have to excuse him, he's gotten used to a certain standard of living.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Yeah, I don't think this is a luxury cruiser. Sorry."
<Jackieness> <Moira> *coughs* "Spoiled."
<DeathStar> *Vesper hurries up the ramp, holding food and other stuff and takes a seat, as well as Lenny, holding her armor*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan wraps her arm around Zegretta** Seems we're gonna have to use our fluffiness.
<DeathStar> <Lenny> ... *sits down, arms crossed*
<DeathStar> <Lenny> Heroes do what they have to do. *To Valen*
<Alicia> * Celeste nods to Lenny
<Seraphna> **Sia and Lia take Lenny's lap and paw**
<Alicia> <Asha> "As long as the trip's smooth, it's fine with me."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Heroes also need to be well rested or their back could go out in the middle of an important fight and they die!
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Oh it won't be smooth. But that's the fun of it.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Give me a wall to lean against and I'm fine.
<DeathStar> *Shretrav nods, as if understanding. She moves and hits the wall; a hard looking bed comes down, then takes a seat and begins to lift off*
<Seraphna> Michelle> A'im usin' you fer a pillow boyo.
<DeathStar> <Vesper> *offers her lap for Valen to lay on*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Don't spoil him too much, Vesper."
<DeathStar> *As the Tsivrixsh ship takes off and heads off, another ship leaves as well; Shretrav takes note of it and jumps into hyperspace*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> We going to need to worry about hiding ourselves in case you get inspected?
<DeathStar> <Vesper> Well he does need to rest
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> We're going to a place to disguise you first before we cross the border. Hopefully we can avoid the Erusian blockade
<Xanatos> 6* Valen smiles and chuckles, awkwardly rubbing the back of his neck.
<Alicia> <Asha> "How good a disguise are we talking? Kaelan level or...?"
<DeathStar> *Rachael leans over to Valen, smiling a little crazily* Yeah, go on, use her lap. *she laughs, then eyes her bottle of pills, taking one from it to keep her under control*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...Rachel...you ok?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan grins, change justified.**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Fine fine. I have a whole bottle here.
<DeathStar> *Rachael waves*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> How long of a jump we looking at?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Luckily Tsiv space is compromised of loads of planets that they have defeated and taken over...so it's not jsut Tsiv running around.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> *eyes the counter* A few hours. Get buckled in kids.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Cartel Space?
<DeathStar> *Shretrav lands in an area near Cartel and Erusian space, right in the Dark One war zone where they are seeding the hell out of it. She lands on a planet where there's a lot of oceans and finds an island, landing at a facility*
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Here we go.
<DeathStar> <Ako> What is this place. <Shion> No idea.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> I'm surprised there's anyone still in this area.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Which means something important is here. 6He glances at Lorelei
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods and steps out. Vesper remains behind, dusting the ship*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *steps out and looks around*
<DeathStar> *they are met by people wearing outfits that hide their race, meaning it could be humans or Erusians, bowing* Welcome. *their outfits disguise their accents. Thomas raises his eyebrow*
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt follows after
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Ookay. <Lenny> Suspicious. *She fingers her weapon*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Voice modulators. Interesting.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> This is pretty neat.
<Xanatos> <Valen> OH wow we're going really heavy spy. I love it.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You would
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Actually, I'm with Valen on this."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Less sexy than spy stuff in the movies though."
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Hmmm. Working on tech that intigrates the main races? 6He looks at Shretrav
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> We are here to temporarily alter their appearance to be Tsivrixsh, even to the point of faking any DNA scans that might be done on them. You can manage that, right?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hmm... yeah I might need help with that DNA part.
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'm lost already."
<DeathStar> *the people motion for them to follow them and they are led inside a high tech facility that looks to be a mix of Cartel sciences and Erusians and other races, no Suisen here, probably due ot the fact the Empress can destroy it*
<DeathStar> <Ako> I'm not sure if I like this plan
<Xanatos> <Kellin> DNA level? I might not be able to participate in this.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Yeah...Seem's like a place for scientific minds to work on projects that wouldn't be allowed.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *looks around the whistles* "Totally conspiracy theory stuff going down here."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Yeah, you probably will have to remain like you are. *she nods to Kellin*
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...I just thought were were going to get their cool suits. Aw man.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Think it will jeopardize the mission? If so I can hang back, find a way in solo.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> That will come later. *she notes - her deadpan talking makes it hard to tell if she is serious*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> No, you'll be fine.
<DeathStar> *Ako nods* I think I'll skip, too. I'm not sure if it'll mess with my manifestation
<Seraphna> Michelle> If only a few of us don't get disguises, can always play prisoners or slaves or somethin'.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Unsure if it's fine on a Dragoon.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Aren't we just faking the DNA change?"
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Shretrav, you Tsiv in to using other races as slaves to do all your bidding?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Really I just need a way to fake a DNA scan.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Honestly... I've never even seen a slave in relation to the Tsivrixsh."
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> It is faking it, yes. But if people feel uncomfortable with the process even coming close to altering it, it is fine. And no. We take prisoners of war
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Figured I'd ask to see if somethings changed.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Sometimes
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> So it's all or nothing essentially.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Well if it's faked it should be fine.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei gets in her seat* Lets see how it works
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'm in. It's the only way forward that we have right now. Let's juice my DNA and give me some massive muscles.
<Seraphna> **MIchelle nods, idly remembering that Lorelei is part Dragoon at least a bit too**
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Well if everyones worried, I'll go first.
<DeathStar> <Scientist> You want me to make you more prone to have more muscles?
<Alicia> <Asha> "Will it interfere with shapeshifting?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan turns into a Valen with muscles and flexes** Like this?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Okay that doesn't fit.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan shifts back to foxy perfection**
<Xanatos> <Valen> ....sigh. Just give me the regular whatever you're doing. 6* He takes a seat if there's one available.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei and Durt get the treatment and soon are blue skinned like the Tsivrixsh. Lorelei stands up, a blue skinned Kitsune Dragoon*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hm. Interesting
<DeathStar> <Scientist> This will last for a time before it begins to wear off.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Doesn't seem so bad."
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt eyes his skin a bit, as he clenches his forearm muscles, checking to see if he feels the same
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Durt is tots getting ready to flex for us."
<DeathStar> *he does indeed. Shion does it next then lets out a breath. The scientist begins to do it one by one as everyone lets them do it. Lenny eyes herself, hmphinh*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well, Zeggie is still hot even blue.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> *flusters*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Hmmm. Nothing on the physical level. Good to know. Shouldn't affect my abilities.
<DeathStar> *their comms beep from Vesper on the ship*
<Xanatos> <Valen> I don't think this color goes with my eyes.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I wodner if I less prone to sunburn now..."
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Could be worse."
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt taps his comm. 1"Yes?"
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Your eye color will likely change, too. Tsivrixsh almost all have red eyes
<Seraphna> **Kaelan taps the comms** Yes?
<Seraphna> MIchelle> Ah'm blue'n'red all over.
<DeathStar> <Vesper> There is a ship approaching and targetting Shretrav's ship.
<Alicia> <Asha> "This is kinda weird."
<DeathStar> <Vesper> I thikn it might have followed us
<Xanatos> <Valen> *c* Targeting? Get out of there Ves!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Probably from the bad guy bar! Let's go!"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Let's see who this is.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Is it powering up weapons?
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin lets out a low whistle
<DeathStar> <Vesper> Scanning us right now.
<Seraphna> *Michelle sighs and takes Kellin's hand** We might have to teach em a lesson.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Yeah let's go.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> ....fuck it. Take them out.
<ChadWinters`> 6He looks over at the two
<Alicia> <Asha> "Back to the ship."
<DeathStar> *Ako pats herself down, having opted to remain norma. Shretrav sets down a large bag of cash and gems.* There goes my funds. You know, we could leave those two little cat girls here as payment. *she notes, half-serious
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Someone might frown upon that.
<Seraphna> Lia> We too cute for that.
<Seraphna> Sia> Hiss hiss.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "See? Those two are totally warbeasts."
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin and Valen are both moving for the exit to find out what's up with this bounty hutner.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Do you really think being blue is going to help me?"
<DeathStar> *they arrive outside and see Vesper is trying to fire on it. The bounty hunter fires a missile at Shretrav's ship*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We'll see. *Thomas peers at the chaos, holding his book in his hand*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan opens a foxhole on the missle to send it back**
<DeathStar> *the foxhole clips the missile, and explodes it only*
<DeathStar> *the ship then sees Shretrav emerging and begins to target her*
<Seraphna> Kalean> Did you try hailing it?
<Xanatos> 6* Is the Shretrav ship also in the air or she firing at th eother ship while sitting there docked?
<DeathStar> *docked*
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt clicks his tongue. 1"Well is it going after you or us, Shretrav. 6He pulls out his datapad to try and scan the ship to figure out who may own it
<Xanatos> 6* Valen runs to get on the docket shretrav ship and helps Vesper try to target and disable the attacker.
<DeathStar> <Vesper> Oh, hello, Valen
<Seraphna> **Sia and Lia chant together and form a barrier around the group**
<DeathStar> <Vesper> You look different
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin forms his bustah and begins to charge it up.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Help me aim, Chelle.
<Seraphna> **MIchelle pulls out her bow, putting a hand on Kellin and giving him her Kenetic Aiming ability**
<DeathStar> *the attacker sends a missile at the barrier, trying to destroy it. Shretrav tenses while Valen locks on with the ship*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yeah... I'll just stand here... and swing my sword threateningly at them... you know... from the ground."
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I feel your pain."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Huh? Oh yeah they like turned us into Tsiv for a little while. 6* He fires shots to at the very least keep it from hurting the others.
<DeathStar> *Shion muses, then grabs Moira*
<Seraphna> **The Kitens mew and reinforce their barrier, little paw marks appearing in the magic**
<DeathStar> *she throws her with her psionics, and through a foxhole, over the ship*
<Seraphna> Michelle> Locked.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin takes in a breath, and using the aiming ability from he fires his ProgenGoon Bustah at the ship.
<DeathStar> *Valen clips the enemy ship and makes it's shield weaken*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Whoa!" *draws her sword and stabs down into the ship if she cna do so*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan watches for the moment, her tails turning black and more of them appearing**
<DeathStar> *the bustah shatters the shield and damages it's wing and Moira stabs and makes it shudder. It begins to retreat, letting Moira fall toward the ocean*
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Impressive
<Seraphna> **kaelan foxholes her to safety**
<DeathStar> <Lenny> Good job.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin inhales as the steam rises off the gun.
<Seraphna> Sia> Do we lets it go?
<Jackieness> <Moira> *flops out of the foxhole and on to the ground*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> We should finish it off.
<Seraphna> Lia> Mighty Paw Punishment!?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Such a good combo.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> You think we can get a hit in before it leaves?
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Doesn't hurt to try.
<DeathStar> *the smoking ship rises higher and Vesper leans back*
<Xanatos> <Valen> I could go after it!
<Seraphna> **Sia and Lia chant, the shield forms into a glowing paw print and it fires a beam of energy at the ship**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Hope that guy has a space helmet. I just violated the integrity of their hull."
<Alicia> <Asha> "I don't think fire is much good against spaceships."
<Seraphna> Sia and Lia> MEWBEAM!
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> If they escape they could use any information they just got on us against us.
<Seraphna> **They then fall over drained**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Like the location of this secret research facility?"
<DeathStar> *the beam fires after it as the ship rises up*
<Alicia> * Asha launches a firebird at the ship before it leaves
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> That or the fact that we all suddenly look like Tsivs.
<DeathStar> *Shion picks the two up and carries into the ship*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mmm, I'm not sure I'm ready for Andrea's dark beams and orbs yet unfortunately.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> *takes a seat* Let us hope those attacks finished the bounty hunter off then
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Everyone strapped in?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Can your ship scanners ping them to be sure?" *straps in*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> What's your long range sensors show?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sits with Zegretta, Michelle get sin with Kellin**
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Bringing them up. *she hits a button and right now they show nothing but debris*
<Seraphna> **Sia and Lia nap curled together**
<Alicia> * Celeste takes a seat and straps in, followed by Asha
<DeathStar> *Ako takes a seat between Michelle and Kellin*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It looked like they were after Shretrav though, not us.
<Seraphna> **Michelle rubs Ako's ears**
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Who'd you piss off, Shretrav?
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Is there enough debris to consider it a whole ship? 6He grabs onto a rung as he begins to run a search against the ship that attacked them to see if it's a known ship, owner, etc
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> The Emperor. Helping you guys
<Xanatos> <Valen> Oh...sorry about that.
<Alicia> <Asha> "He knows?"
<DeathStar> *The Shretrav flies up and they reach the atmosphere; there doesn't look like a lot. The enemy could be alive.*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> I don't think we finished them off.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Could be playing dead..."
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> He's known for a while. *Durt gets a hit. It's a middle level bounty hunter*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Hmmm. 6He pulls out an idlet and relays the information to it which then displays a picture of it and any known information. 1"This is most likely who it was."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan looks over**
<Alicia> * Celeste looks at the info
<Alicia> * Asha too
<DeathStar> *it looks like he is known as the Gravedigger. But other than that, not much is known about him. Race, nothing*
<DeathStar> <Ako> Cliched
<DeathStar> <Shion> Has to be human
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...they're so cool.....
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I'd be more concerned if he was called Undertaker."
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Why does he have to be human?
<DeathStar> <Shion> What alien race would call themselves Gravedigger
<Jackieness> <Moira> "The Morticians of Necropolis 3?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> No one else digs graves?
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Kaelan's not wrong.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Morticians! That's even cooler!
<DeathStar> <Shion> I stand corrected I guess
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> We give our warrior's bodies a good burning.
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt looks to see if if they have a known race.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> At least it's not someone I know.
<DeathStar> *as it says, no known race*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Nothing wrong with that.
<DeathStar> *Shretrav has them enter hyperspace*
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Get some rest, we will soon be breaking the Erusian blockade
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Like Vikings."
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Regardless, this should slow him down a bit. I'll see what I can dig up on this Gravedigger in the mean time.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-641.9.13
<DeathStar> Location: Tsivrixish Territory
<DeathStar> *they are forced out of hyperspace as they near the blockade. It's not so much the Erusians have enough ships to cover all of the border, it's way too much space, but they have devices to bring you out of hyperspace and alert you as you approach
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Hopefully we'll be over and done with before they send anyone
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I've always been impressed with the Erus. They are some strict ass people.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> This is probably the only reason why the Tsiv haven't helped the Dark Ones.
<DeathStar> Well those devices can't remind operational for long. Sooner or later the Tsivrixsh will take them out or overpower the Erusians.
<DeathStar> *Shretrav
<DeathStar> *remain
<Alicia> <Asha> "Are they that disciplined?"
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> I imagine it's more of a delay tactic. Until they can mount enough forces to attack this blockage and overpower them and the devices.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Funny thing about nets, one hole and all the fish get out. 6* He seems proud of his analogy, beaming.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> *checks her switches as they cross. As they get further away from the device blocking them from entering hyperspace, suddenly a Erusian crusier drops in; it's not overly large, but small*
<DeathStar> <Vesper> That is bad
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> You're not wrong, Valen.
<Alicia> <Asha> "And here's where things get awkward."
<Xanatos> <Valen> uh oh. Good net
<DeathStar> <Lenny> We cannot destroy them; we are the good guys
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> We can try and talk our way out of this. I imagine Shretrav has some connections
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> I'm hoping not to blow who we are by opening communications that might be picked up
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> If we can delay for a few more minutes we'll be out of range and can jump
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Any of you psions?
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Then you might as well make a mad dash. Anybody have any long distance abilities that can mess with them?
<DeathStar> <Shion> I am.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well I could foxhole, maybe send them a message in their ship. But who knows how that'll go. So if we could telepath them a message it might be better.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I'm pretty sure shadowporting won't go over well.
<DeathStar> *Shion muses and closes her eyes* I'll give it a try
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Shame I can't teleport.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Foxholing in space in to a ship that's moving at the same speed or faster than us is risky. Especially if you don't know the layout.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yep.
<DeathStar> *Shion sits up, rubbing her face* I sent the message as best as I could. We'll see if that works
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Shadowporting would be more stable, but you know, Dark Ones don't tend to get good reception.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> They are in firing range now
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...should we just like...request to dock or something?
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> How much time do we neeD?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> That would involve comming them.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Few minutes at best
<Seraphna> **Sia and Lia whisper to each other**
<DeathStar> *The Erusian ship fires suddenly, but it doesn't hit, coming in close enough but Shretrav is easily able to evade*
<DeathStar> <Shretrab> ......
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> ....Seem's they got the message.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> That or it's a warning shot.
<DeathStar> <Shion> That's good I guess, I wasn't sure I was able to send it properly
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...maybe that means we should just go."
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> We
<Xanatos> <Valen> We need someone who can control machines. Make this easy on us.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> We're still trying to Moira.
<DeathStar> *Shretrav tests and prepares the hyperspace engines*
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> Alright, everyone get ready. We're jumping now.
<DeathStar> <Shretrav> We're headed for the first important planet in the system.
<DeathStar> *the group jumps, arriving in the Tsivrixsh Empire*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP/Present Day-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.1.13
<DeathStar> Location: Important Tsivrixsh Planet
<DeathStar> *the team has spent the past few months working their way deeper, and deeper into the Tsivrixsh systems, their disguises holding up as they get closer and closer into the heart of the massive empire. Some planets are more strict, but it's clear about one thing. They are all gearing up for a massive war, with ships being build, the warriors training for war. Each planet they are ready for war, especially those nearest the Erusians where they are going off to the border (cont)
<DeathStar> *there are massive ship docks and more and more ships. Any day now, it is clear the biggest war campaign the Tsivrixsh have ever launched will begin. The current planet they are on right now is like any - the dark skies with large, dreary buildings, comfort not a top concern, with the Tsivrixsh getting geared up. They are currently in what is an "inn" - a small, simple building with little comforts. Shretrav having left them weeks ago to look ito something*
<DeathStar> *their only ties to the PAX is Kaelan with her Dark teleports*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> I think we have confirm that they're just building up their forces to mount a massive push.
<DeathStar> *Ako wears a device that shows she is a prisoner to Lorelei, sitting there. Lorelei, hiding her Kitsune features and wearing a Lieutenant outfit of a Tsivrixsh Warrior*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Yes. *she eyes the language of the Tsivrixsh that Shretrav gave them, having been practicing*
<DeathStar> *Rachael tugs on her uniform, a lower rank*
<DeathStar> *the uniforms mostly just armor*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> What are you thinking? A month if that? 6He looks at Lorelei
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What do we do?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin has the prisoner device on as well. With Valen being the same rank as Rachael.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...it's all very depressing. I don't think we can stop it.
<Alicia> <Asha> "You'd better handle the talking, I probably sound stupid."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We need to find people for people like Erica to talk to or take out the fake Kyuun. Which might actually start a war; but if we can't find the real Kyuun...
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Nothing. We can't stop every ship being built. All we can do is focus on what we're here for and send back information that we find to help the Katrina.
<ChadWinters`> *Empress*
<DeathStar> <Ako> So far we've found zero leads on where either Amazo or Kyuun might be located
<DeathStar> *Shion plays with language book*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Seems like we need to find the real Kyuun, and I have a funny feeling wherever we find Amazo, we might find the real Kyuun somewhere close by too.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> That's a strong assumption.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Unless, you know, the real Kyuun is just being possessed by Amazo like Harbinger took me. In which case this all makes complete sense.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I doubt it. When he was on the PAX, none of us had a God ping off of him
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **taps her chin** We also didn't get a God Ping off you most of the time. But... yeah I guess that one was a long shot.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Would Amazo get off on a massive war?
<Xanatos> <Valen> We should check out unnamed prisoners, there has to be like a prison planet or something that they have the real Kyuun rotting in.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> From what I remember, Amazo lived for war and battles.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> He even held massive tournaments just to entertain himself when there wasn't a conflict going on.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "They are always inc llict around ehre, so it explains why he would show up."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *she leans forward* We need to make a plan of how we want to proceed. We could try to sabotage the planets where they are building ships. I've been marking their ship yards. Or we could try to buckle down and find Kyuun. *peers at Valen* Maybe. We can look into that. He might be tucked away far away, but if he dies the shapeshifter reverts to a normal shapeshifter. He might be kept nearby like on the capital
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> So we could also hunt for Amazo
<DeathStar> <Ako> We have too many options it feels like
<Alicia> <Asha> "So, are Kyuun and Amazo in cahoots?"
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Well then we need to decide what's more important right now. Slowing the Tsiv war machine, and hoping for the best with Amazo and Kyuun. Or letting the others do there best when the Tsiv make their move while we focus on Amazo and Kyuun.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> The shapeshifter and the Gods have clashed before, but maybe not this time. This time they might not be
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Now remember, if we make any moves on the Ship Yards, we risk making our original mission harder.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lets take a vote. Where do we want to focus our efforts. Stopping the war machine, finding Kyuun, or finding Amazo?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Not when the specific god's interests line up wiht their plans."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Should we entertain the idea of splitting up?
<DeathStar> <Ako> We could....
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> I think that'd be a very dangerous route.
<DeathStar> <Shion> Especially with Shretrav taking so long to return
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> We've gotten this far because of Shretrav alone.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> My only thought is the former option might lead us to encountering the latter two. But I can just deliver the war machine Intel to the PAX.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Tell the PAX and let them decide what to do with that."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Keep in mind if they learn about your ability, they'll close off that shadowport of yours
<Xanatos> <Valen> If we sabotage ships we just delay them, but if we stop Kyuun we might can get the whole thing to end due to all the confusion of who's in control.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Use it too much and they'll start to figure out somethings going on.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I can deliver it to Mistress.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Alright, we have a lot of us. Lets flip if we should split up and find Kyuun and some of us find Amazo.
<Alicia> <Asha> "It's possible that finding one of the two will lead us to the other."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei flips*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Slowing the war machine will definitely lead us to Kyuun and Amazo, but maybe only once we're found out."
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> So we're sticking with our core mission then.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Coin toss? That's a fun way to decide our fate.
<DeathStar> <Ako> IT's always this way
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt eyes Celeste with an odd look before looking over at the coin
<Alicia> <Celeste> "You don't think they'd investigate?"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei catches it* Alright, we're going to send half of us to find Kyuun and the other half to find Amazo. *Thomas closes his book*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Who wants to take what?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I'm probably better suited to taking down Amazo."
<DeathStar> <Lenny> It is my job
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Amazo is going to have to be Lorelei for sure.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods*
<DeathStar> <Ako> I go where Kellin goes
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Kyuun
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Probably best if atleast half the kids go with so they can help god ping for him.
<Xanatos> <Valen> God time for the V-man!
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'm no good at locating gods."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei touches Asha, marking her*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I’ll stick with Zegretta and the kittens. If shit hits the fans I can at least get them home.
<Alicia> <Asha> "...well, okay then."
<Seraphna> **The Kittens paw**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yeah, what about them?"
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I will help with the Kyuun situation
<DeathStar> <Vesper> I can look after them
<Seraphna> Sia> We can protec Vespie.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> I personally care less about Kyuun then Amazo. 6He eyes the people here. 1"If we don't split 50/50 then we're going to be in trouble.
<Seraphna> Lia> I guess we look after Auntie Vesp.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Right... so who is going where so far?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'll do Kyuun
<Seraphna> Michelle> Kyuun.
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'll go after Kyuun too."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Guess I’m smacking Amazo around.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Kyuun's group should have someone who can escape with the team quickly.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei opens up the map*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Kellin can handle that
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Then I'll stay with the Amazo group.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I've got the quick feet.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Alright, Kellin, here's a list of planets for you to check out. *she hands it to him and lets him pick from them* So, where should we begin that Amazo might be attracted to?
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin looks at the list and hmms as he looks it over.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Huge war training camps, tournament grounds, active battles.
<DeathStar> *she eyes the planets for amazo. There's the capital planet, there's a planet where warriors train - the 20th. The the shipyard planet #4*
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt pulls out his datapad and brings up a list of the planets in Tsiv territory and starts looking for any planets that are having or are planning any events around fighting
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> These are all in our range
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I remember something about him playing dumb a lot too.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> ...The training planet might be we're he'll go to gauge fighters.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Training planet, or capital planet. Is he the type to try to rule, or just... fight?"
<DeathStar> *Kellin's list has the capital planet, the prisoner planet, the planet where they make weapons and other stuff, the planet where they "relax" - who knows what that means*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "If he's not a ruler sort, definitely training."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Alright lets check it out
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin shows the list to Michelle and Ako.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> We head there first and then go to the capital after that.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> If we can even get access to it.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Do we go right to the belly of the beast or hit some of these less secure spots?
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Anyway for us to leave Shretrav a message? 6He looks over at Lorelei
<Seraphna> Michelle> Hmm... well the heart is the most likely place to strike.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> There also seems to be planets for the Council. But I'm not sure if they will matter to either of us. *she tells Kellin.* It looks like if you get on the council of 13, you get your own planet.
<DeathStar> *she marks the 13 planets*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Incase it becomes important
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Yes please
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Question. How hard is to get on the council?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> From what Shretrav said, the council and the Emperor are the law of the Tsivrixsh. So I imagine it's pretty hard.. It sounds like it's a lifetime job unless you do something to get you thrown off.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> I'll push that idea to the back then.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> The Tsiv have a council? How very Cartel of them.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "So Amazo either possessed someone already on it, or he's not there."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Yes. Xevil was once the 13th council member
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I'm guessing that maybe part of it is challenging an incumbent for their seat in combat?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin checks to see if his list coincides with any of the council planets.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Xevil. What a dumb name.
<Seraphna> Michelle> He was a jerk I hear.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Did his aprents want him to grow up to eb a abd guy?"
<DeathStar> *it looks like their planets are personel planets and what they do with it are their own business. Some have guards, some have personel fleets, some do other things*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I mean, the name has 'evil' in it."
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Maybe he lived backwards."
<DeathStar> <Shion> You know it's prounounced "Zuh-vile"
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> ....I need a drink after that bad pun.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Even worse, Vile is in there.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> To save time we should probably just go straight to the capital planet and then spread out from there. Prison planet after, and relaxation place after that maybe? Keep ourselves open to adapt as information comes in.
<DeathStar> <Ako> sounds good to me
<DeathStar> *Ako and Rachael grab their stuff
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Try not to burn the place down, Valen
<Seraphna> Michelle> That’ll do.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei also packs up*
<Xanatos> <Valen> I will burn everything I can, just for you.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Be hood kiddos.
<Seraphna> *good
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt backs his stuff up.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and gives Rachael a serious hug, putting his forehead to hers to for a moment.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Be safe.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You too, brother. *She smiles, as they all exit the inn. There is a vehicle parked across the way with some Tsivrixsh inside it, watching them*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Now I'm going to feel bad if I burn anything important."
<DeathStar> <Lenny> ...
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Psssts... eyes up front. We got an audience."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What now...
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Don't pay them any mind.
<DeathStar> *they get out of the vehicle and approach them*
<Alicia> * Celeste acts casual, but not as casual as Asha
<DeathStar> *wearing what appears to be enforcers*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ...
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin has shifts to the back as all the prisoners of the group should.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> They’re not gonna let us. I am a bit hungry.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen stands by his superior officer, Lorelei, and watches them approach.
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> *barks in Tsivrixsh, their translators in their ear translating* We are sorry for bothering you. *He says, his tone filled with some mock respect* But you would not mind if we saw your IDs and that of your prisoners. For the food of the Empire. *Lorelei nods and responds back in Tsivrixsh, handing her ID and motions for the others to do so. Ako acts all meek, holding their stuff*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan and Michelle hand theirs over**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *holds out her ID*
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt holds out his ID, eyeing the slaves threatingly to do so
<Alicia> * Celeste hands over hers
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh scans it, then looks at their faces, subtlely scanning them. The scanner of their DNA takes a moment or two, like it has trouble, perhaps indicating their DNA treatment is beginning to wane (but to not worry, there will be more flashback sesions). Ako hands over her ID and keeps her head down and Lenny does so as well*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hands his ID like a proud warrior, Kellin holds up his ID, eyes and head staring at the ground.
<Alicia> * Asha hands over her own, acting like its no big deal at all. Is it acting, or is she just that chill? Who knows.
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh eye their scanners, but when it works despite the brief pause, they soon hand their IDs back after a long eyeing, perhaps expecting to find something and look disappointed at not finding anything. They soon return them* We apologize for bothering you. *they salute by slamming their fist against their chest and move back to their vehicle and drive off, perhaps their honor diminished by being wrong*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... *lets out a breath*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Let's get off the street."
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt slides his ID away. 1"Hmmmm...."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen slams his fist against his chest, enjoying that part.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> We’re going to have to be more cautious.
<DeathStar> <Shion> Lets get going to our respective destinations. Try to keep in touch
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Good luck everyone.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Somethings off guys.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Yes. They usually only do that to citizens or people they suspect of doing something
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Not officers
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We should go now
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> I'm beginning to wonder if something happened to Shretrav or if someone warned them about infiltrators.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Like who I wonder
<Alicia> <Asha> "Maybe they're just getting suspicious."
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Bounty Hunter maybe. Dark One Hunter. Shretrav.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Yeah I was just thinking about Shretrav. At the very least we're going to need to redo our IDs and identities now.
<DeathStar> *Vesper holds onto their stuff* That sounds fun
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ...doing that here though is going to be tough.
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> It's going to be hard to now Kellin. Our faces are tied to their system now along with those ID's.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei hmms* Well, do what you think is best, Kellin
<DeathStar> *she nods and moves on*
<DeathStar> *not wanting to remain on the street*
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt walks with Lorelei.
<Alicia> * Celeste follows
<DeathStar> *Lenny follows after*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin tchs as he thinks, then moves on as well. Valen keeping up with Lorelei
<DeathStar> *Zegretta leans against Kaelan*
<DeathStar> <Ako> Do you want to get new IDs now before we get on a ship, or risk going with the ones we have?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What about the DNa fade?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I guess until we lose our blueness we're fine
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> ....Another problem that we didn't think about. Someone high rank needs to be with the prisoners.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I'm sure Kellin wil figure that out
<DeathStar> *Lorelei enters the space port and gets into Shretrav's ship*
<ChadWinters`> <Durt> Well atleast her ship hasn't been confiscated.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> We need to set up IDs first because we need someone to own us prisoners. Then we need to set up travel. So...well we have a lot a work ahead of us.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Right."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *checks to see if nayone is watching it and if there is any traps on it*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm. *to Kellin* We just need to find a Tsivrixsh that is corrupt around here.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei's team can be seen flying off into space in the sky*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> There's always one...we just need to find them. 6* He glances at those with him to see who is the most blue.
<DeathStar> *they all seem decently blue still*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Hm. From my walks I think I know a place. But it might be dangerous
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Perfect. Lead the way.
<DeathStar> *Thomas leads them to a place in the city; the tall dark buildings look more enclosed and the streets more narrow. As they enter them, two Tsivrixsh fall past them, doing a duel over honor about something and one smshes their xvash into the head of the other. Then takes coin of the one bleeding, moving off. There's places for drink where Tsivrixsh are talking about war stories and female Tsivrixsh are there, as well, all warriors and seem to be getting into their own conflicts*
<DeathStar> *one jumps the other as she insults her honor over a sexual matter and in mere moments, a second fight breaks out, leaving the insulting one in a pool of blood and things continue like nothing never happened*
<DeathStar> <Ako> ... huh. These must be the warped ones
<DeathStar> *Shion stares about as Rachael eyes her bottle, rattling a mostly empty bottle*
<DeathStar> *Vesper takes Sia and Lia about*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Wow, now this is the rough part of town."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Now this is the Tsiv I was told horror stories about while huddled around the fire. 6* He says with a nod.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I had a drink here the other day. I found it most fascinating
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I won't get far as a non-blue. I need one of you to approach the bar and get info on who could change the prisoner details, you stole us from someone else.
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'm going to look suspicious if I ask."
<Seraphna> *Sia and Lia charm Vesper and keep her safe**
<DeathStar> <Thomas> *pushes up his glasses* Hm. I will try asking
<DeathStar> *He steps inside*
<Seraphna> Michelle> He drank Tsiv booze and found it 'fascinatin'?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Pretty hardcore...
<DeathStar> *he pockets the glasses, since Tsivrixsh don't need it, and then takes a seat next to a Tsivrixsh. A moment later, Thomas takes a jug and insults him in Tsivrixsh, angering the Tsivrixsh and when he goes to attack, smashes the jug in his face, leaving him gurgling in blood. Drawing eyes*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ...really hardcore.
<DeathStar> *He nods, getting a new drink and sipping it*
<Seraphna> Michelle> **whispers** I thought he was a nerd?
<DeathStar> <Ako> ...
<Alicia> <Asha> "You have a strange definition of nerd."
<DeathStar> *over the next hour of talking and other incidents, Thomas steps out, with a female Tsivrixsh on hand, handing the information to Shion* The information. *he heads off with her*
<DeathStar> *Shion slowly opens the note* It's an address.
<DeathStar> <Shion> I guess where we can get IDs and information
<Seraphna> Michelle> Did he hook up?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Is...he going to get laid? Kudos.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin nods to Shion, letting her lead the way to this new location.
<DeathStar> *they find a door in the crevice of a building and Shion knocks; the door opening to find a small, hunch back like Tsivrixsh who eyes them suspiciously*
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> ...what do you want?
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin holds up his ID
<DeathStar> *he eyes him then lets him, tkaing a seat at a small table*
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> You want a new ID, that is it? *he takes it, studying it*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Yes, new IDs that pass checks. Unless you trade in information too.
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> I doubt you have information I want, whelp. *he begins to work on their new IDs, taking pictures of them and working, using a small device and giving two of them higher ranks*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin watches him work, quietly taking notes so next time he can possibly do this himself.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Well what kind yah lookin for?
<DeathStar> *Shion places down what funds they have and pays him when he does* <Tsivrixsh> Whatever information that is going around that is useful to use against others in the area; the latest important information. It is the lifeline in this place.
<DeathStar> <Shion> *to Kellin* Well we have the IDs
<DeathStar> <Shion> What now?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Get Tom and move on to the next step.
<DeathStar> *she nods and moves to step out of the building. Thomas is waiting outside, his clothes torn a bit and armor having scratches all over. He seems to be taking notes*
<DeathStar> <Ako> ...
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin hands Thomas his new ID.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Have fun?
<DeathStar> *Thomas takes it* It was an interesting experience at least.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Are you secretly the coolest person I know?
<DeathStar> <Thomas> I gather we are going to borrow a ship and head for the capital now?
<DeathStar> *Thomas bows his hed slightly to Michelle*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> That person in there might have some info, but I don't want to tie our goals with the ids. So yeah, transport and heading out.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Our funds are tight I believe, so let's get creative.
<DeathStar> <Ako> I could try to create a ship out of manifested crytal
<DeathStar> *crystal
<Seraphna> Michell> Well I can only fit one person inside me.
<DeathStar> *the group heads to the docks where the security is even more tight, but there's a lot of flights to the capital*
<DeathStar> *Shion takes notes. Vesper and the catgirls seem to have already gotten out of the city somehow*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ...a crystal ship would be great, but ovbious.
<Alicia> <Asha> "Amazingly obvious."
<DeathStar> <Ako> Oh, true. We could stowaboard?
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin eyeballs the ships around, looking for something small.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> On of you blues could fight for a personal ship.
<DeathStar> *Kellin would see there's a few smaller ships - personel ships, a few cargo ships, transport ships, etc*
<DeathStar> *even one or two transport ships that are smaller*
<Seraphna> Michelle> ONe of them transport ships.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Yeah? Let's pick one and figure out how to get it.
<DeathStar> *Thomas rubs his face, and nods*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Let us begin
<Seraphna> **MIchelle adopts an air she rarely does and stands tall, swimming in authority** I kin always try the Admiral's trainin'.
<DeathStar> *they approach the transport ship, where they could either try to just walk right inside and take a seat, or try to go into the cargo area and sit among the cargo*
<DeathStar> *Ako drags their cargo along*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin blinks and helps her with the cargo, getting an idea.
<DeathStar> <Shion> You're plotting something
<Alicia> <Asha> "What's the plan?"
<DeathStar> *Ako thanks Kellin, smiling, her ears showing up briefly as they twitch happily; it appears no one is paying attention to the ship - for the moment*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Caution is boring, let's take the whole ship. I'll use my speed to get to the bridge and keep them from sending out a distress and then you all silently take the rest down.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Just, uh, hurry to the bridge to save me.
<DeathStar> <Ako> He's, uh. gotten bold
<Seraphna> **MIchelle nods and marches on board as if she owns the place.**
<DeathStar> <Shion> Works for me. *she walks inside. There's one passenger on the ship, shining his xvash. He eyes Michelle*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin places the cargo down once they're up the ramp and glancing around he steps in and moves towards the bridge since so far it seems low key.
<DeathStar> *Ako moves and takes a seat; the Tsivrixsh eyes Ako with disdain for being caught and becoming a prisoner of war*
<Seraphna> **MIchelle eyes him back, sizing him up like he's an eyesore**
<Alicia> * Asha just wanders onto the ship.
<DeathStar> *the female Tsivrixsh that is on the bridge seems to be communicating with the tower, preparing for take off when her other passangers board. Oblivious*
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh eyes Michelle back, insulted but goes back to cleaning his weapon*
<DeathStar> *Thomas takes his seat, humming*
<DeathStar> *Rachael shrugs*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin pauses, now feeling guilty, but seems to be set on doing it and waits for communication to stop before he would blur forward with a hyperspace hand out for the back of her head.
<Seraphna> **MIchelle moves over to stand near the warrior, grabbing a rail and continuing to size him up** Alone, Warrior?
<DeathStar> *the pilot falls over, smoking, taken down before she even is aware what happened. The Tsiv sniffs* Of course.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Your commander? **she raises an eyebrow**
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> *he proudly lists a name*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin slides the body over to the side and clicks a few buttons to close the ramp and send the sign that they're ready to depart.
<DeathStar> *the ship is given the okay. The Tsivrixsh leans back, assuming nothing is up*
<Seraphna> Michelle> Seems you're on the wrong transport.
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh> Nonsense.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin raises them up and begins to fly them out of there, barely breathing.
<DeathStar> *Kellin escapes with the shuttle and they begin to fly out into outerspace where they soon are able to enter hyperspace*
<Seraphna> Michelle> **tilts her head, moving to sit next to him, as she does she light brushes against him and completely removes his friction, so when the ship angles up he'll go sliding like a greased pig**
<DeathStar> *Ako watches Michelle play with the Tsivrixsh as she sends him flying*
<Alicia> <Asha> "Well, don't complain if you end up going somewhere you don't want."
<DeathStar> <Ako> You're just making him angry
<Seraphna> Michelle> Clumsy.
<DeathStar> <Shion> *shakes her head and Thomas opens a book while Michelle plays with their passenger*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin puts in the coordinates and hyperspaces away. BWOOOOM
<DeathStar> -END but minis are open-
* Jackieness has quit IRC
