<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.3.22 - 1 day ago
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
<DeathStar> *Ymir and Ylva meet with Xanatos on Kumen, at her office. Ymir sitting at her huge office with the backdrop of the city with her window of the city behind her.*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan isn't eating an orange like his player is, that would be unprofessional. He's sitting across from them looking around at the office curiously.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> So you wanted to meet with me about ships?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Nice view, Nice office. Oh yeah the ships. So we're working on our tactics. 6* He pulls out the holo emitter to show the battle maps
<Xanatos> <Xan> You've never fought the Tsiv before, right? My theory is that they wouldn't know how to deal with spirit infused weaponry.
<DeathStar> *Ymir studies the emitter*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Okay. *she nods*
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session506
<DeathStar> <Ymir> So you want us to divert our ships to the war effort? I believe we gave one or two to the Suisen Empire
<DeathStar> <Ymir> As well as the Aquarius
<Xanatos> <Xan> That's right. I would be in the Aquarius leading the kumen ships.
<DeathStar> *Ymir props her elbows on her desk, facing Xanatos* Let me frank. I'm here to protect Geyze and Kumen, as well as the tree. We have maybe 10 - 12 ships. I'm not diverting more ships. What if the enemy manages to get past your fleet and right here
<Xanatos> <Xan> 10 to 12 ships will not stop the Tsiv war machine. If we fall you just delay the inevitable.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Spirit infused ships. *she points out.* That are like the Aquarius - well the original Aquarius
<Xanatos> <Xan> But if we work together, Suisen and Earth could defend the line and the tree and me and the Kumen ships could use some mean tactics to rip up the tsiv when they're vulnerable.
<DeathStar> *Ymir leans back* You are essentially asking me to divert protection from 3 major points and put it into a war machine that may or may not be useful. You realize how this looks to me
<DeathStar> *Ylva whispers in her ear and Ymir stands up*
<Xanatos> <Xan> That's fine if you don't want to play ball. I can't make you. Why would you care if your firepower and my tactics could end the war early. All I can do is ask for your help which is what I'm doing. If we all work together we will save lives, even if those are solider lives from a reduced timeline in the war.
<DeathStar> *Ymir peers at Xanatos*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Ultimately it's up to you, just think about it. We have a small amount of time.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> And how many of my ships are you talking about, Soldier?
<DeathStar> *she asks as she moves to her next appointment*
<Xanatos> <Xan> As many as you can spare is the real answer, but minimum? 5 including the aquarius.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> ... we'll think about it. *she notes finally*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Thank you. I'll get out of you hair now. 6* He bows his head and stands to leave.
<DeathStar> *Ymir watches him go, closing the door, then calls up a ??? appointment*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.3.23
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Selena makes a tch sound as she eyes the Amazons essentially holding council about Qui, who has not been doing her duties properly lately*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Other than doing repair work orders, Qui is just slacking. *she notes, peering about the Amazon territory since they've arrived*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You can lead a horse to water. *she sits in a "bar" at a Amazon resturant*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Seems someone's self-confidence has been chewed up and spit back out.."
<Xanatos> <Logan> I think I already asked, but this isn't normal?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> What, Qui acting like a pussy?
<DeathStar> *she watches the Amazons repairing some structures*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Sure, that.
<Seraphna> Jaime> It’s abnormal from what I understand.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I cannot afford to spend all my time here or my own government will hang me. I have been having to spend time with my own nobles to get them moving - I need their coffers to help with repairs at the Hapian capital and other places. There was quite the damage done there.
<DeathStar> *she blanches at all the parties she has been having to throw*
<Seraphna> Jaime> This is the same woman who seized the power from her mother and excelled as a Peacekeeper. Guess we have to get her back into badass mode.
<DeathStar> *Asarar looks up, holding her datapad* Hm, interesting
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Have something?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> My spies - er, employees on Kumen tell me that more than half our fleet around Geyze and Kumen are leaving and joining the Suisen Fleet. Meaning that we no longer have much of a Defense Force,
<Xanatos> <Logan> ....seriously?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Seems that way. Lets hope the Shifters don't decide to sneak back in
<Seraphna> Jaime> I suppose I could work with Undine on Qui… **she blinks** That’ll be Dad having convinced them to join the fight.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I doubt the Shifters would be warded off by a fleet anyway. Not their style."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well, the station is suppose to detect them.
<Seraphna> Jaime> There’s the space station, and we may park one of the PAXes here.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well Yggdrasil, but close.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Anyway, I cannot seem to convince Qui. I've tried off and on for weeks. And I have to get back home on a more consistent basis. *she bows to the group* I hope you all have a better chance. *she looks worried about stuff back home as she leaves*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan watches Selena run off and hmms to himself.
<DeathStar> *Asarar watches until Selena is gone* Word has it the nobles are pushing Selena hard - since she needs their suppose to pay for renovations and repairs. They're testing the little Queen's power.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Seeing if they can make a puppet out of her
<Jackieness> <Kira> "OF course, they are."
<Xanatos> <Logan> That sucks.
<Seraphna> Jaime> And I’m teaching her how to turn it on them as best I can… but Thena or Lenneth would be better.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Maybe she should ask her auntie for help."
<DeathStar> *Asarar glances at Sparkling* So, you got any ideas on how to resolve this? Magical Girls are suppose to be good at this
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Turning to her aunt might be the worst thing, wouldn't it? Means she can't stand on her own
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "It's okay to ask for help if you can't handle it alone."
<Seraphna> Jaime> We kinda have to help her in the background. They even snub spirits helping her. Of course that’s why there are interesting new statues popping up.
<DeathStar> *Asarar watches Qui sneaking off in the background, wearing a hood over head, leaving the city; she hops off her stool and moves after her*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Interesting. 6* He hops up to follow
<Seraphna> **Jaime rolls her eyes and heads after Qui**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "And the drama begins." *follows after*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina looks up from eating her food* Huh? What?
<DeathStar> *she float tumbles after them*
<Alicia> * Sparkling follows too.
<DeathStar> *The group stalks to an area where Qui sits in the meadow, looking like she is there to be left alone from the other Amazons*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... So who should approach.
<Seraphna> **Jaime flashes and appears next to Qui** So… what’s up?
<Xanatos> <Logan> ...
<DeathStar> *Qui looks up* Ah, Jaime. I thought I would just take in the scenary. How are all of you? Hello Kira. Logan. Little Makas.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *just gives a nod of the ehad*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> She knew I was here. *turns to Sparkling* She knows magic
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "We're good, but how are you doing?"
<DeathStar> <Qui> Not so good. I keep seeing myself doing all these bad things. It is quite unsettling. And I know for a fact the others are preparing to vote me out
<Xanatos> <Logan> Seeing yourself doing bad things?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "The mind control." *spoken lowly*
<DeathStar> <Qui> Yes. When that thing took control I was still viewing it.
<DeathStar> <Qui> I'm surprised Shinobu could go back to normal so easily
<DeathStar> *while they speak, a bright star can be seen in the sky, despite it being daytime*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...was that a ship?"
<DeathStar> *it seems to be getting brighter and off to the side, headed for an isolated area*
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, then checks her datapad**
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I think it's a shooting star. *she shakes Sparkling* Make a wish!
<DeathStar> *interference, how odd?*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> *makes a wish, but doesn't say it out loud*
<DeathStar> *Asarar holds up the datapad, trying to use it to take a picture*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Should we go check it out?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Okay… yeah that’s not good. Whatever it is is jamming frequencies too.
<DeathStar> *the area shakes - a little as it lands somewhere nearby*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You should join us, Qui. *is all she says and nods to Logan, moving off*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Not in close enough range to the great forest for the anti-air grid to take it out either.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan begins to head in that direction, pulling the haft of the beam axe off of it's back strap.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina flies off, going all magical girl*
<Seraphna> **Jaime glows and goes bursting off in that direction**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "It never ends."
<DeathStar> <Qui> ... *quietly trails behind them*
<Seraphna> **Scoops Qui up as she goes**
<Alicia> * Sparkling hurries after
<DeathStar> *Qui makes a surprised sound*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well if you’re gonna be timid Princess~
<DeathStar> *they soon reach the area of the landing, but oddly only find a grassy area with one patch of ground with no grass, but no sign of anything else*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Odd, I would have expected... more
<DeathStar> *she looks about*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina floats in the air*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan kneels and touches the grass-less are sniffing it.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "It's not invisible, is it?" *looks over the patch of bare ground*
<Xanatos> (Area)
<DeathStar> *Logan smells something there alright, but not above the grass-less area*
<Seraphna> Jaime> There should be a lot more… **she feels out through the Earth for anything wrong**
<Jackieness> <Kira> *lens down to grab a pebble and then chucks it ahead*
<DeathStar> *the pebble bounces just fine*
<Xanatos> <Logan> I smell something. Can't quite figure out what it is.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan scoops up a handfull of dirt and throws it out in an arc to see if it covers anything invisible
<Seraphna> Jaime> Something is underground…
<DeathStar> *nothing invisible; Sabrrina flies all ovr the area and hits nothing*
<DeathStar> <Qui> Hm? Underground?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "They went into the ground?!"
<Seraphna> **Jaime stomps and starts to move earth** Yep.
<Xanatos> <Logan> ...some weird tech if they are able to just drop straight into the ground.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Or some tech to bury it super fast
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Unless there is a secert opening somewhere."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Or they phased through the matter.
<DeathStar> *a few moments later, a ship begins to rise up. Soon a Tsivrixsh scout ship lays there*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well isn’t this rude.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hm, what type of ship is this
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> It looks thorny
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Great! Now we don't have to dig down!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Tsivrixsh.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "An uninvited one. Shall we welcome them?"
<DeathStar> *Qui makes a face.* And these... Tsis... Tsivv... . TYadhig... are around my people?
<Seraphna> Jaime> **in Tsivrixsh** Want to come out?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Honestly the worst alien name we've encountered yet.
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I just call them Tsiv, is that okay?"
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> I think that is okay.
<DeathStar> *no one responds*
<DeathStar> *I mean, it is a scout*
<DeathStar> <Qui> How do we draw them out?
<Xanatos> 6* Logan activates the axe
<Seraphna> Jaime> **frowns and sends Dark Tendrils out for the latch**
<Xanatos> <Logan> Chop chop?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Hmmm... cover me." *moves low and starts to creep close*
<DeathStar> *Asarar nods and brings out her weapon*
<Seraphna> **Jaime opens the hatch with her tendrils**
<DeathStar> *something leaps out of the hatch - it is ...,.the pilot's suit and food materials, and a galactic map*
<DeathStar> *As a well as a Tsivrixsh pet that leaps for Kira*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *kicks at the pet*
<Seraphna> Jaime> …The suit?
<Alicia> * Sparkling looks over this, looking confused
<DeathStar> *Sabrina screams as the vorg like pet growls and bites for her leg*
<DeathStar> *Asarar stabs at the pet*
<Seraphna> Jaime> …Come out already.
<DeathStar> <*the suit seems to be a pilot suit for outerr space*
<Seraphna> Jaime> That’s a Vorg. They’re like tracking hounds.
<Seraphna> Jaime> **in Tsiv** Sit!
<DeathStar> *the vorg limps off and soon falls over; the pilot himself seems to have left the ship, probably scouting the area to set up a base*
<DeathStar> <Qui> What are the chances the pilot will return?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "I still don't know what just happened."
<Seraphna> Jaime> No pilot… well he needs his ship to report back. But we can probably track him.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina shrugs*
<Xanatos> <Logan> .....well Kira and Asrar killed an animal and the scout abanoned his ship to probably scount the area.
<Xanatos> (scout)
<DeathStar> *Asarar flips through the stuff in the ship, pulling out the map and finding things marked*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *leans down low and inspects the ground to try to look for signs of where the Tsiv may have gone*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well, we got goodies while Kira manages to find tracks headed for Qui's city*
<DeathStar> *the last is an action*
<Seraphna> Jaime> That’s unusual….
<Jackieness> <Kira> "They are ehaded for town."
<Seraphna> Jaime> You don’t have many Asmons in the city right?
<DeathStar> <Qui> Asmons?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Asmodeans.
<DeathStar> <Qui> No
<Seraphna> Jaime> So unless he has a disguise he’s going to stick out like a sore thumb.
<DeathStar> *Qui nods and begins to hurry back; Sabrina jerks and follows*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Someone eeds to lockdown his getaway ride while we track him."
<Xanatos> 6* Logan follows after the others
<DeathStar> *Asarar steals everything inside and eyes the ship shrugs, applying some of her stuff on it, then follows*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses and stomps the ground, filling the inside of the ship with dirt**
<DeathStar> (*dirt feels the Aquarius*)
<Seraphna> (Hush super fast switcher man))
<DeathStar> *Ben works his station quietly as they fly along and Mire peers ahead, silently*
<Seraphna> **Cookie chews a brownie**
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper sits at weapons. Xan stand there by the captain's chair.
<DeathStar> *Xanatos gets a report that Ymir has assigned 8 of her ships and the Empress will try to get 1 to join this mission*
<Jackieness> <Airym> *sits in the captain's chair now*
<DeathStar> *Ren peers about from Charlotte's head*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Whoa. 10 ships total for our little battle group? That's huge.
* Dias` sits in a chair, eyeing long range sensors. 1"Apparently you've gotten better with your words.
* Dias` is now known as ChadWinters`
<Seraphna> Cookie> Avast, we be a fleet now.
<DeathStar> *as they exit hyperspace, they see a smaller size Tsivrixsh battle group around the massie colony. Some of the smaller ships seem to be docked with the colony, rotating with it while it does it's rotation. The Aquarius, along with it's 3 Suisen escort ships slow down in it's approach for now, with the Tsivrixsh fleet being around 9.*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Report."
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Lots of them fuckers and not a lot of us fuckers.
<DeathStar> <Ben> It seems they are not attacking the Station yet.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Our fleet sizes are comparable. Tactical, analysis."
<Seraphna> Cookie> Eh, it looks like a small battle group… and if some are docked we have the advantage of active ships.
<ChadWinters`> Problem is, if they're docked already, that means they have hostages potentially
<DeathStar> *The non-docked Tsivrixsh ships move into position incase the Suisen Fleet move forward*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Comms, listen for any communicaiton from the colony."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Tsiv ships hit hard, keeping shields up is going to be tough. We have backup on the way. We need to whittle them down or hold out until backup arrives.
<ChadWinters`> They're moving to intercept.
<DeathStar> *Ben reaches and attempts to gather information* Ah, we are being hailed by the colony
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Weapons are ready.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "On viewer."
<DeathStar> <Ben> And the Tsivrixsh Fleet Commander.
* ChadWinters` scratches his jaw for a bit. 1"Something feels off about this."
<Seraphna> Cookie> At the same time?
<DeathStar> *on the screen, a large, sweaty man appears* Ah. *he seems taken back at talking to a female Erusian* You must deal with the Tsivrixsh. Immediately. We are in danger here. You have to destroy them all. Quickly!
<DeathStar> *He leans forward, as if pressing the need*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Ummm… are they particularly moody today?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "And what does the commander say?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> I see some docked, what's the ground situation?
<Jackieness> <Airym> *glances over and presses mute on her commander console* "Identify the speaker."
<DeathStar> <Man> Moody? *he jerks* Tsivrixsh are always fucking moody. Situation? They're all over the pla--- *muted*
<Seraphna> **Cookie nods like she’s listening**
<Jackieness> <Airym> *muted tthe crew chatter*
<DeathStar> (Ah)
* ChadWinters` cross references with Earthgov database to see if the speaker matches who he should be.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Switch th Tstivrxsh commander. Keep comm open with the colony to your console."
<DeathStar> *he is indeed the Colony Magistrate. He is also an EarthGov military man, highly decorated, and seen wars with the Tsivrixsh, and been in many projects since olden days*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan pulls up whatever information they have on the current tsiv ships in front of them.
<DeathStar> *many classified*
<Seraphna> **Cookie slowly takes a sip from a big gulp container**
<DeathStar> *As for the ships, despite being small sized, they can pack a punch if they hit right*
<ChadWinters`> He's who he should be, Airym.
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh Commander* Greeting, Erusian. If you wish to protect the lives of these human colonist, have your ships back away and do not interfere
<Jackieness> <Airym> "What is your intention?"
<Seraphna> Cookie> **keeps nodding**
<DeathStar> *turns to Xanatos and speaks quietly* <Mire> We can likely take them. We will suffer some casualities but we will win.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan nods and whispers back that it'll be less if they can stall long enough for back up to arrive.
<DeathStar> <Tsivrixsh Commander> To secure the colony and rid it of the materials within so it cannot be used in the war. The colonist will not be harmed. And as a peace gesture if any wish to leave they may do so
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *tries to determine if the Tsiv is lying*
<DeathStar> *Charlotte cannot 100% verify, but she gets the feeling he probably isn't*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We will hold our position and observe."
* ChadWinters` leans back in his seat, studying the Tsiv.
<Seraphna> Cookie> That’s all they wanna do?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan pulls up information on the station to see what materials they provide tot he war effort.
<DeathStar> *the human colonist leader keeps ranting for his part, even if he is heard or not.*
<Jackieness> <Airym> *send s amessage to Chad's consoel to find out what the Earthgov officer was working on*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Seems like it. Strange that the commander wanted us to fight."
<DeathStar> *the colony is just a normal peaceful colony on the books*
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh ends communication for now*
* ChadWinters` glances down briefly and starts working on it, utilizing his Idlet to help out. 1"This isn't normal Tsiv behavior.
<DeathStar> *Chad will have to get through the censored black books*
<Xanatos> <Xan> We need to get a team on the ground to protect the citizens while we engage in combat.
<DeathStar> <Mire> So we are not going to blow them up?
<ChadWinters`> You want me to do this illegally or legally, Airym?
<Jackieness> <Airym> *looks at Xan* "You are still admiral."
<Seraphna> Cookie> Why am I smelling one of those EarthGov black ops groups?
<ChadWinters`> Because it's most likely what's happening.
<DeathStar> *Ben muses* Dias might could use his power, but it's probably one of those things keep the President out of the loop
<Alicia> * Charlotte quietly nods to Chad
<Jackieness> <Airym> "*looks at Chad* "I suspect that the EarthGove officer is responsible for what has befallen this colony."
<ChadWinters`> Most likely. I'm more curious how the Tsiv found out.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Crack it Chad, let's know what we're dealing with.
* ChadWinters` nods to Xan and he starts to go at getting the information the hard way, by hacking his way in to Earthgov's databases, using his Idlet to assist.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Also please communicate with the PAX and report our current findings."
<DeathStar> *Adeline moves to join Chad and helps him*
<ChadWinters`> I imagine we won't have a lot of time before Earthgov sends their ships in to make things complicated.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Ah. The black ops group
* ChadWinters` nods to Adeline, working in tandem with her.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Good, let them come protect their secret bullshit.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Hmmm. I have an idea for that.
<Seraphna> **Cookie starts making some calls**
<DeathStar> *As Xanatos says that, some of Ymir's ships arrive, 3 of them lining up behind Xanatos' fleet. That makes the Tsivrixsh edgy*
<ChadWinters`> You may not like it Xan, but a lot of that secret bullshit is what's kept Earthgov around for so long.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Also communicate with the other ships to aprise them of the situation."
<DeathStar> <Ben> Hmm, I think our back up might be ill fated
<DeathStar> *Chad and Adeline half-decode what the guy has worked on*
<ChadWinters`> Cookie, you may want to use your psionics to assess the locations of all the Tsiv on the colony. Use it to prepare an assault on them all to protect the colonists.
<ChadWinters`> Have them back up, Xan. It'll help ease the tension.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Ill timed, yeah. But it is what it is. 6* Xan begins to communicate with their fleet ships to let them know what's going on.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Just tell the Tsiv guy that we’re holding our position. But… sure. Someone else is gonna have to pilot if you want that big a battlemind.
<ChadWinters`> Xan can handle it.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan considers and order the second line to drop back a bit to ease tension.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Lt me see. This guy worked on projects in the last Tsivrixsh War. It looks like they did work on how to target the Tsivrixsh genome back then but it never went off the ground
<DeathStar> <Adeline> DNA that stuff
<ChadWinters`> Targetted genetic warfare.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well they did take over Earth
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "No wonder this place is a target."
<Seraphna> **Cookie gulps down the rest of her brownie and gets in a lotus position.** I told Mom about this. So… Peter and their guys should be interfering now.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "It is probable that the eitehr resumed their researcj given the current conflict or never truly abandoned it."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Unmute the guy.
<ChadWinters`> Second most likely.
<ChadWinters`> It's what I would do.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *unmutes the Earthgve officer*
<Seraphna> **Cookie closes her eyes and starts scanning the colony for Tsiv minds**
<DeathStar> *Airym would find the room empty though the line is still open*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "He seems to have disappeared."
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "As much as I hate to admit it... I'd do the same."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> He also worked on projects to mess with Tsivrixsh minds and other related projects.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Hm. I don't like that at all.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Suggestion, we offer to help the Tsiv.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... and finally he might have worked on stuff related to Spade. But it's locked down too hard
<Xanatos> <Xan> Honestly was thinking just that, Cookie.
<ChadWinters`> That's risky.
* ChadWinters` glances at Adeline. 1"We could force it harder but that risks us being caught.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Open a line back with the Tsiv commander.
<Seraphna> **Cookie returns to her scanning**
<DeathStar> *Cookie would find the Tsivrixsh searching all thrughout the colony, probably looking for the guy or the project files/weapons*
<Seraphna> **Cookie muses and scans for the guy instead**
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Comms, hail the Tsivirxsh Commander."
<DeathStar> *the man seems to be headed for Sector 21 - B, a left side of the colony near no part of the civilians and part of the military run area*
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh answer* You have accepted?
<Jackieness> <Airym> *loosk at Xan* "Admiral."
<Seraphna> Cookie> I know where he is.
<Seraphna> Cookie> I could possibly disable him from here but the last guy I remote scrambled is still barking at people.
<DeathStar> <Ben> Bow wow
<Seraphna> Cookie> More like Wuff Wuff.
<DeathStar> *Adeline gives up on breaking the Spade file, grunting*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Commander, greetings. We've reviewed the situation and agree that the work that goes on here shouldn't be involved in this war. I propose that there is no conflict here today. But instead let us work together. Allow me to send one team aboard to ensure civilians are uninjured and that the research being done her eis stopped.
<ChadWinters`> I wouldn't recommend it. You'll risk sending Earthgov after the empire.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Keeping a bead on him… in case he’s trying something desperate.
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh Commander considers, one of his second in commander speaking in rapid Tsiv to him, then he waves him off* I accept. *Ben take note of the fleet commander's name, Kru'ul* <Kru'ul> We will allow it.
<Seraphna> **Cookie zeroes in on his mind**
<Xanatos> <Xan> Thank you very much and may we have a glorious battle one day in the future. But today is not that today, instead we will stop an injustice. 6* He bows his head and motions for the feed to be closed.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *presses a button on ship intercomm* "This is the captian speaking. Prepare a boarding crew to provide humanitarian assistance to the colonists. They are not to interfere witht eh Tsivrixsh commandoes."
<Jackieness> <Airym> *signals the channel to close*
<DeathStar> <Ben> This will be something. Going into enemy territory
<DeathStar> <Ben> And not fighting
<DeathStar> <Mire> So I am not to shoot the ships while away?
<Xanatos> <Xan> If anyhing we might have to fight earthgov a bit. But I'll take the heat for this.
<Seraphna> **Cookie meanwhile tries something safer than a scramble and starts giving the guy confusing thoughts**
<Xanatos> <Xan> Only if they act like jerks and shoot first.
<DeathStar> *Cookie partially succeeds and slows him down just a bit*
<ChadWinters`> Worse case Xan, we message Dias. He'll stop it.
<DeathStar> <Mire> And if allies show up that are bad?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Our primary mission objective is the protection of the colonists."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Hm, I'll stay here with you Mire. Everyone else who's able prepare to go colonyside.
* ChadWinters` eyes Durran for a moment then nods as he gets up.
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper glances over her shoulder at that, and glances to Cookie then Airym.
<DeathStar> *Adeline puts on vest and moves out*
<Seraphna> **Cookie hops up and grabs her coat** And follow me. I have a lock on his brain. So far I’m trying to confuse him.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Lets go."
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper slumps and then rises to go with them.
<DeathStar> *Ren poofs into her normal form*
<ChadWinters`> We got what we could for now Adeline. We might find more colony side.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Leave me an idlet, Chad.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'm hoping to rip the info out of his head
* ChadWinters` pulls one from his belt and tosses it towards him.
<ChadWinters`> I'll have one on me so we can keep tabs on each other better.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan catches it and nods to them as they move off.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Hopefully those on the Earth group tie up EarthGov interference.
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Admiral, may I suggest that you brush up on Suisen treaties governing wartime activities in prepaation for EarthGove attempting to turn this into an interstellar incident."
<Seraphna> Cookie> Oh… so I should
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP now-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Qui looks around the city, seeing no sign of a giant blue man*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> This makes no sense
<Xanatos> <Logan> What would one of these big blue dudes want with this place? No offense but I can't see anything here that would appeal to them.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *eyes the ground for more signs of the Tsiv's passaing*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Good question. Glancing at this map it looked like they were just curious about it as a staging ground
<DeathStar> *Asarar unfolds it*
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers around** Could be in a disguise or even a Hunter we never caught.
<DeathStar> *Kira would find it impossible now that they are in a well traveled area*
<Seraphna> **Jaime starts scanning around for Tsivrixsh thought patterns**
<DeathStar> *hm, there is definitely unusual thought patterns - alien - in the city. The Tsivirxsh is in the major city*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "The ground is too disturbed now. Can't find his path."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Let's see if the station can get a hunter scan on this area. 6* He pulls up his datapad to see if he can make that reques.t
<DeathStar> *the Amazon council approaches* <Amazon> Qui ... we must talk. *one approaches, clearly planning to challenge her*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Good thing the only people who speak Tsiv on this planet are me and a few people at the Academy. Alien thought patterns are definitely in the city.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You think that thing can pick up the Tsivrixsh?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Not a good time ladies.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Probably not, jsut making sure it's not a hunter.
<DeathStar> <Qui> ... *she moves forward and looks at the Amazons* I have duties to attend to - there is an invasion going on. I have no time for your games. *the Amazons look offended and she slaps each of them* Go do your duties
<DeathStar> *she points, and they stare, moving off with looks*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... she'll end up with a knife in her back
<Jackieness> <Kira> "You'll have to answer their challenge eventually."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Pretty badass move though.
<DeathStar> <Qui> ... yes. I will.
<DeathStar> *Logan gets a negative on the shifter*
<Xanatos> <Logan> No shifter at least. 6* He calls back his thanks
<Seraphna> **Jaime quietly snickers** Qui. We’re training after this.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Its possible they are using some sort of stealth technology, and are moving unseen."
<DeathStar> *Qui blinks and nods* I suppose I will need to resume my training
<DeathStar> <Asarar> hm. I am not perceptive enough to see such movement
<Seraphna> Jaime> Often in the open so they can see you training against someone who will hand them their asses.
<Xanatos> <Logan> You know Qui, you could quit. People seem to act like that is a big deal but if you're not enjoying yourself then why do it?
<DeathStar> <Qui> ,... I will consider that. Thank you. *she smiles and bows*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Be careful they don't arrange an accident after you retire."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Depends who takes over really. **she goes back to scanning**
<DeathStar> <Qui> Lets see, so the enemy might be moving in stealth
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Or disguise
<Xanatos> 6* Logan gives a thumbs up with his totally great advice and then moves forward to look around for anyone acting suspiciously
<Seraphna> Jaime> I’m tempted to drag Leyaeh down here.
<DeathStar> *Logan would notice a visiting Daemon merchant moving about stiffly - no, it's not blue, but it is a rather larger daemon merchant. Tall too*
<DeathStar> *he seems to be moving around. Could it be him? Or is he stiff due to all the boobs*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan nods at it slightly to Asarar and Kira and watches him, keeping a distance but following while the others work on their leads.
<DeathStar> *Qui meanwhile touches the ground and has water move around the ground, seeking out invisible targets*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Mind games."
<DeathStar> *Asarar nods and follows Logan, looking for other disguised people*
<Seraphna> **Jaime thinks about what the ship did and stomps the ground again, feeling out for anything strange below**
<DeathStar> *the area shakes and people murmur and peer about - Jaime finds nothing*
<DeathStar> *Logan and the others find the merchant doesn't really sell anything, wandering around*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmmm… think I overdid that feel out.
<DeathStar> *Qui hands Jaime a hammer and tools*
<DeathStar> <Qui> For any damage you did
<Xanatos> 6* Logan moves to walk up to the Merchant.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I’ll just use mud.
<Xanatos> <Logan> What wares you sell?
<DeathStar> *the daemon turns and shows Logan some daemon like materials. But does Logan know enough about Daemon goods to tell if they're legit?*
<DeathStar> *they look rather odd and pointy in some regards, and seem to be weapony*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan does not! He just pretends to nod as he looks at them.
<DeathStar> *The daemon smiles, pointing at them while not speaking*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... *eyes the goods, then at Kira*
<Xanatos> <Logan> I will buy this. Now let us seal this deal in blood. 6* He pulls out a small knife.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan holds out his hand and cuts it.
<DeathStar> *The daemon eyes hands the item over, then motions at having no knife*
<Seraphna> **Jaime mumbles something about honorless spies being dogs in Tsivrixsh**
<Jackieness> <Kira> *looks over the items*
<DeathStar> *strange vibrator like object, spikey object, food like object, seemingly plucked out of the ground, animal that looks bitey and from another world. It growld at Kira, and otehr things along that line*
<DeathStar> *and more weapons with spikes*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan nods and offers the hilt of the knife, bloody hand still extended for the handshake
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Interestign selection."
<DeathStar> *the merchant also seems to not react to the comment, but does peer at Jaime, bedfore taking the hilt, studying it a moment or two. Then slowly reaches with the knife toward his hand -- closer -- closer, then throws it at Logan with great speed and runs off
<DeathStar> *Asarar holds out her hand, the knife embedded, just to be safe, the hand sparking*
<DeathStar> *blood running down it*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *draws one of ehr knives and flings it at the retresting 'merchant'*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan tries to deflect it but it stick into his shoulder and he stumbles back, wincing in pain and doubling over.
<Xanatos> (Oh I missed the asarar line)
<Seraphna> **Jaime teleports to get ahead of him and lifts up a rock barrier**
<Xanatos> <Logan> Er, thanks As.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan jogs after the guy so he can catch up by the time Jaime deals with the situation.
<DeathStar> *The knife hits the merchant, tearing into a suit he is wearing, and Jaime catxhes him unaware. The merchant pauses, then a moment or later two he falls over, twitching*
<DeathStar> *Qui hurries over with Sabrina*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Oh dear
<Jackieness> <Kira> *darts forward to the fallen merchant*
<DeathStar> <Qui> What is happening?
<Xanatos> <Logan> You do that Jaime or they do it to themselves?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmm. **uses mud to form shackles**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well he ran into the wall. I just made it.
<DeathStar> *Asarar removes the mask and the Tsivrixsh is foaming from the mouth*
<Xanatos> <Logan> No. Didn't hit the wall. Defintiely some sort of death pill in the mouth. I didn't think those were real.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Suicide pill."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> He's too far gone for me to heal
<Seraphna> Jaime> And I guess he swallowed the suicide pill. One moment. **she touches his head and tries to get any thoughts she can**
<DeathStar> *Jaime is flooded with death thoughts*
<Seraphna> Jaime> This is so gonna suck for me.
<DeathStar> *hksererhefjkfhkelhkfh
<DeathStar> *like that*
<Seraphna> **Jaime tries to sift through for his purpose, hoping while dying he has no real ability to resist**
<DeathStar> *Jaime manages to get - bite down on death pill, making herself bite down hard on her lip since no pill, seeing images of Tsivrixsh death gods they believe in, honor not to be caught, honorhonorhonorhonorhonorhonorhonorhonor, scout scoutscoutereoruouscout scout, how did that human see through and trick him into tearing the outfit*
<DeathStar> *beautiful Tsirixsh back home*
<DeathStar> *And*
<DeathStar> *hksererhefjkfhkelhkfh
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> What is she doing?
<Xanatos> <Logan> I have no clue.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Ugh… **wipes blood from her lips** Come on your mission. Why…
<DeathStar> *Asarar adjusts Jaime less she make a mess of herself like the dead do*
<Seraphna> Jaime> **is thankful that’s muscles releasing and not a neural thing**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We should see if we cna salvage anything from its scout ship."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Yeah, what should we do with this body, send it to the PAX people or just bury it here?
<DeathStar> *the group has gathered a crowd*
<Seraphna> **Jaime pulls back and grunts** Send it to the PAX. Who knows what the Med team will find on autopsy.
<DeathStar> <Qui> I am just thankful whatever plans this fiend had - my city is saved
<DeathStar> <Qui> Thank you
<DeathStar> *she nods her head*
<Seraphna> Jaime> He was here to scout out a staging ground. Not sure what they were going to attack but he might not have been told.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Great
<Seraphna> Jaime> My guess if here was the ground… Yggdrasil or Kumen. But Earth or the Maka World are also targets.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Earth peraps. Or the tree."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Make sure you guards look for bright lights in the skies, even hidden as a falling star like today. Sorry about the situation we caused though.
<Seraphna> Jaime> He’s wearing some kind of suit.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yeah, a disguise suit; it isn't half bad
<DeathStar> *she messes with it* <Asarar> I am curious how they got it
<Seraphna> Jaime> Logan he panicked because you got him to cut it, he wasn’t sure how he got goaded either. Must have just slipped.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Finally an assumption paid off. I have no clue what daemon blood looks like so I was just hoping one of you would've known.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Ugh. Anyway that’s gonna be a couple weeks of nightmares. Death thoughts can stick.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I think ... red?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Most is red.
<Xanatos> <Logan> but...Daemons I expected purple or something.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Let's clean up."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But if his disguise was cut he'd have been busted
<DeathStar> *Sabrina comically drags the large Tsiv twice her size*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Colony
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh have allowed the group to enter the colony while the Aquarius monitors*
<DeathStar> *Ben peers around while Adeline looks determined to find the man*
<Seraphna> **Cookie keeps her head on the bad man**
<Seraphna> **bead
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper takes a breath once they're actually on the colony and gulps, holding her smg close.
* ChadWinters` walks along with the group, keeping next to Adeline. 1"Take a deep breath Adeline."
<DeathStar> *Adeline pauses, then nods; as they look up in the sky, there's more colony*
<DeathStar> <Ben> I always hated these types of colonies
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Makes you dizzy
<DeathStar> *Tsivrixsh watch the group, holding their xvash menacingly, but do not interfere*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Hmm. This way~ **keeps moving along, a spacer her whole life**
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper follows.
<DeathStar> *Ben and Adeline follow along, moving past building with colonist peering out; oddly enough, they come across a Tsivrixsh dealing with a domistic situation with him shaking a husband beating his wife, threatening to beat him if he does it again - with his xvash*
<Seraphna> Cookie> **thumbs up the Tsiv**
<DeathStar> *and another situation where one is helping children with walking across the street during school activities becuase the adults are too scared*
<DeathStar> *the Tsivrixsh looking annoyed*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> ...why are we at war with them, again?
<Seraphna> Cookie> We gotta take these guys out for drinks later.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> They want to control our lands. Power. Glory.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Still, they seem like they will make okay adminstrators - at least the ones who are do that type of thing
<ChadWinters`> It is an odd change in tactics
<Seraphna> Cookie> Hey they’re just here to stop something made to kill them. As a Dragoon I sympathize.
<ChadWinters`> And in the past they wouldn't have done it this way.
<DeathStar> *they soon reach an area with less population and more military based. Here the Tsivrixsh have not been so easy on the military. Their equipment has been smashed to bits and the soldiers taken hard are there are signs of fighting - the soldiers likely putting up a hard fight. Soldiers lay about, either dead or injured. Adeline studies and TK moves the living ones into a pile*
<Seraphna> Cookie> It’s possible our friends out there did something positive.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well they have been working with Erevis for decades. Maybe some of them are a bit softer. Even if the majority of them want thid war
<ChadWinters`> It's possible.
<Seraphna> Cookie> We can triage them after we get the coward I’m currently convincing that the door he keeps going through is a new door.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Though I find it unlikely. Your core does not change easily
<ChadWinters`> No it does not.
<DeathStar> *Mire speaks to Xanatos* Hyperspace is detected
<Seraphna> Cookie> Hmm…
<DeathStar> *they soon reach a bunker door*
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm ready on the comm, will try to defuse it as quickly as possible.
<DeathStar> <Ben> The door is sealed
* ChadWinters` looks for an access panel
<Xanatos> <Pepper> The sweaty man inside there, Cook?
<Seraphna> **Cookie sees if the coward knows anything, and where he is**
<DeathStar> *9 EarthGov ships exit and begin to target the Tsivrixsh ships, and the colony - probably willing to destroy it if necessary*
<DeathStar> *The corward knows everything and is inside, preparing the wepaon to flood the colony*
<DeathStar> *taking out the enemy - hoo haw!*
<Xanatos> <Xan on Comm to Earthgov Ships> Stand down by order of the Suisen government. We will settle this peacefully.
<Seraphna> Cookie> He’s inside and readying the weapon.
<Seraphna> Cookie> I can fry his brain at any time.
<ChadWinters`> If Adeline and I can't find an access panel, someone's going to have to tear a hole in the door.
<DeathStar> <EarthGov Fleet Commander> We do not work for the Suisen Empire. *the Admiral leans in* We're protecting EarthGov
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Admiral, perhaps you should contact the EarthGov president."
<DeathStar> <Mire> Hm. They seem serious
<DeathStar> *Chad finds it after some looking behind a wall panel*
<DeathStar> *hiding it*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan is already pulling a long range communication to the presidents office.
<DeathStar> *Xanatos manages to find Dias*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Someone should mention that protecting EarthGov includes not starting a war with the rest of the Galaxy.
* ChadWinters` pulls out his datapad and quicky hooks it up to it and begins working on overriding the door.
<DeathStar> *the Tsivrixsh and EarthGov ships line up to fire on each other*
<Xanatos> <Xan> *C* Hi Dias, This is Xanatos, some of your earthgov ships are targeting a colony of yours to try and stop a secret Tsiv killing genome project from being destroyed.
<ChadWinters`> Adeline, see if you can access the colonies systems to stop him
<Xanatos> 6* Xan relays the information on what quadrant and colony they're at.
<DeathStar> *Adeline nods and does so; Cookie would see the weapon will be armed in 3 minutes*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> ....I heard a lot of words there. Good or bad?
<Seraphna> Cookie> 3 minutes. Give me the word and he’ll think he’s a poodle.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Bad.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> ....STACEY! Help me decipher this."
<DeathStar> *the door opens*
<DeathStar> *Stacey looks at it* Well, it looks like a project of ours to kill all the Tsivrixsh with air and no fist fighting
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper moves in, aiming the SMG cautiously as she does.
<DeathStar> *the bunker's defenses begin to fire at Pepper*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Well that seems dumb. Fist fighting is the best way to defeat an opponent like the Tsiv....Wait why are we trying to destroy the colony though?"
<Seraphna> **Cookie forms her guns and gives Pepper a warning, firing on the defenses**
<DeathStar> <Stacey> Probabbly to blame it on the Tsivrixsh
<DeathStar> <Ben> *fires Dragoon energy at the guns*
<DeathStar> *2 minutes left. Adeline keeps working*
<DeathStar> *the EarthGov ships fire on the Tsivrixsh*
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper blinks and fires back if there's defenses left.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Well it seems like it's a little late for that to work since the guy that bangs the red head is there. Let's stop our fleet."
<DeathStar> **Pepper takes out some in the back*
* ChadWinters` shifts focus now to assist Adeline
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Admiral, the EarthGov fleet has opened fire."
<DeathStar> *the Tsivrish begins to open fire back and Xanatos witnesses an all out firefight as Stacey begins to issues orders*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan sends a message to the Tsiv commander that his is on the line with the Earth president trying to halt the attack, just so eh commander knows where he stands on this.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well, this is prett fucked. Say it with me Mire.
<DeathStar> *Together Chad and Adeline shutdown the countdown and the defenses*
<DeathStar> <Mire> Pretty fucked
<Seraphna> Cookie> Xan, might want to direct our people to disable the illegal fleet if they ignore Stacey. **she moves in**
<Seraphna> Cookie> And no teaching her bad language!
<ChadWinters`> Good job Adeline.
<DeathStar> *with no defenses, Pepper and Ben arrive in a room with a man pounding on a computer trying to get a canister to leak a green mist into the air system*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Admiral, I would appreciate not teaching Mire expleititves."
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Oi. Dickhead. 6* She fires a stun shot at him.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Bit of color, nothing more.
<DeathStar> *one by one the EarthGov ships begin to stop firing, having taken damage, but the lead ship refuses blowig up one of the lead Tsiv ships. Then rams into a second one, taking out both ships*
<ChadWinters`> Let's get what information we can on their servers for now. Maybe we can find that info we were blocked from earlier.
<DeathStar> *The man jerks and falls over, twitching*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Sis, bite Xan for me.
<DeathStar> *Ben waves his gun, moving about* Clear
<Seraphna> **Cookie sighs and gets the man cuffed, taking thoughts from him while he’s stunned**
<DeathStar> <Mire> EarthGov fleet has taken 30% damage and last one ship; the Tsivrixsh fleet has taken 15% damage and lost 2 ships
<Xanatos> 6* Xan lets out a sigh and tries to pull up the Tsiv commander on the comm, as well as putting Dias and Stacey on a side by side screen.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Comms, advise the EarthGov president of what has just occurred."
* ChadWinters` motions to Adeline as he moves inside, infront of her.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Why isn't that one listening? Do I have to go beat him myself?
<DeathStar> *Adeline moves inside and touches the man, scanning his mind briefly, then works on the computer and works on it*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Well you’re better at that. **she huffs**
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Sorry about the stun he was just doing something dangerous.
* ChadWinters` hooks up his datapad to the same computer and against work with her, copying everything they find.
<ChadWinters`> *again*
<DeathStar> <Kru'ul> ... *is bloodied about and is clear he is not happy, probably seeing this as a bit of a betrayal* I am here
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Stacey, patch me straight to that ship so I can put the fear of my fist in to him.
<Xanatos> (The ship kamikaze and blew up)
<DeathStar> <Stacey> That fleet commander is dead
<Seraphna> **Cookie muses** Placing him under arrest on behalf of the Suisen Empire. **she says, regarding the coward**
<Xanatos> <Xan> Commander, they ignored my command, I'm sorry that this has happened, I have the president of Earthgov on the line.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> What?! Well now who am I going to punish for this?!
<Xanatos> <Xan> Though this is war, actions like by EarthGov are uncalled for, we must come to some sort of reperation to make up for this breach of a cease fire.
<DeathStar> *The Tsivrixsh Fleet Commander studies Dias, clearly judging him with a look* I will keep my word. Any civilians that wish to leave the colony at this time may do so.
<DeathStar> *Adeline unplugs and joins the group in the bunker* Got what we could
<Seraphna> Cookie> Let’s get them transferred. What do we do about the weapon? Destroy it right?
<Xanatos> <Pepper> I...think so? Someone else could come use it.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I can make something to render it inert
<Xanatos> <Xan> You plan to hold this sector and not return to your battle line?
<ChadWinters`> 6Dias pauses realizing they're patched in together and shifts a bit coughing. 1"I know it may not mean much considering the unneeded losses of your friends and warriors. I do apologize for what happened. Not only is what was going on on that colony unhonorable, the fact that someone below me command ignored me is unacceptable.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Yeah, do that sis. Use your science magic.
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper gives Adeline a thumbs up.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> I'm glad she joined our team, we don't have to be smart. Just shoot and smoke.
* ChadWinters` rubs the back of his neck as he glances down at Adeline.
<Seraphna> Cookie> She also makes an awesome pasta.
<DeathStar> <Kru'ul> We will set up adminstrative officers along with some ships to hold this point. *He studies Dias, assuming he plays stupid so he lets his guard down* I will pass your message on to my Emperor. *He nods, saying in Tsivrixsh* I acknowledge your honor
<DeathStar> *though he says it mainly to Xanatos*
<DeathStar> *Adeline takes a sample of it, pocketing, then renders the rest using that sample; but seems to hold onto the sample with a flick of her hand*
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> If you'll work with the Suisen Empire in cleaning up what they did, I'll be sure to punish those on my end, but ultimately, we can't allow you to hold an Earth Colony.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Admiral, we should begin evacuating civilians."
<DeathStar> <Mire> The Suisen Ships with us can hold room for those wishing to leave
<Seraphna> Cookie> So which shadow group did this anyway? Blues? Suns? VI? Chad?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan squints and nods to Airym, muting themselves to open a channel to the team on the station.
<DeathStar> <Commander> You may try to take it back. We will be here. *he crosses his arms over his chest, then ends the transmission*
<Xanatos> <Xan> *c* The fight might pick up soon, we need to evacuate anyone and everyone who is willing.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan unmues Dias
<Xanatos> (unmutes)
* ChadWinters` glances at Cookie. 1"Not my choice of method."
<Xanatos> <Xan> If you want to take it back I understand, but let us evacuate the civilians.
<DeathStar> <Stacey> We have the ships to do it
<Seraphna> Cookie> I like how honest he is. Doesn’t even deny the shade.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> I think it'll be a fair trade off. As long as no innocents are hurt.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "My analysis is that it was irresponsible for them to impleemnt this shadow ops weapon program on a civilian station near the front."
<DeathStar> *Ben moves off to see to the transferring of people* That is likely why they did it, Airym. To have this weapon close to the fighting
<ChadWinters`> It's easier to disarm people with honesty.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Alright have your crews keep in touch with us we'll support however we can. 6* He ends the communication with Dias and Stacey then glances to Airym and nods in agreement.
<Seraphna> Cookie> You’re alright Winters.
<Xanatos> <Xan> They're always doing vile shit like this, it's why I'm glad I'm not part of EarthGov anymore.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Still, the Tsivrxish did find out."
<ChadWinters`> Maybe. 6He glances at his datapad, eyeing some of the data
<DeathStar> <Mire> Vile shit!
<DeathStar> *she nods*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Nice one!
<ChadWinters`> It's safe to say that they have back-up data somewhere else and this won't be the end of it. At the most, this might have been a trap to act as a test run.
<DeathStar> *true to their word, the group is able to transport the civilians - around 35%, mainly adults of the older generation flee*
<Seraphna> Cookie> **comms** Durran, are you teaching my cute little Mire to talk like a sailor?
<DeathStar> *The younger generation seems to stick it out and those who witnessed the Tsivrixsh today*
<DeathStar> *and now comes the moment of truth as everyone gets on the ship*
<DeathStar> <Mire> We fire now?
<Seraphna> Cookie> No.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "There are still civilians on the colony."
<DeathStar> <Mire> I meant on enemy ships
<Seraphna> Cookie> I think we should let it be today.
<DeathStar> *The Empress comms Xanatos*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We withdraw with the refugees."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Not every shot will hit, eventually oen will hit the colony and kill someone innocent in all of this.
<Xanatos> <Xan> *c* Empress.
<DeathStar> <Empress> I leave the decision up to you. I been monitoring the situation. If Dias wants to pursue this further he can. I'm recalling the ships with the civilians
<DeathStar> *the ships with them begin to leave as said*
<DeathStar> *reviewing even
<Seraphna> Cookie> This might be a start to ending the war.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Hopefully Lorelei finding the real Emperor will do that as well
<Xanatos> <Xan> *C* I don't plan on interfering, but I understand Dias' point of view from this.
<ChadWinters`> Doubtful. Earthgov won't abandon a Colony. So if it can't be reclaimed through negotiations. It'll be taken back either with force or after the war concludes
<Seraphna> Cookie> For now they can chill. Or I’ll make the admirals think they are sloths.
<ChadWinters`> That'll only make the matter worse.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Okay, come home then, Durran
<Seraphna> Cookie> Dunno, sloths are cute.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Erevis has been a pain this entire time
<ChadWinters`> If their Admirals suddenly drop, they'll resort to protocol which means they'll assume it's an attack and act accordingly.
<DeathStar> *The EarthGov ships begin to move off for now*
<Seraphna> Cookie> More sloths.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan watches them move off and nods, then issues the order for them to leave as well.
<Seraphna> **Cookie lights up a blunt**
<Xanatos> <Xan> Hey good work down there you all. You kicked ass and did it quickly.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We try. *she returns from putting up something in a safe and then goes over the files*
<Xanatos> <Pepper> We were down where? I blacked out like 2 hours ago.
<ChadWinters`> You get anything worth while, Adeline?
<DeathStar> <Ben> *Touchesher shoulder* I can recommend a good doctor
<Seraphna> Cookie> **gives her the blunt** You did good. Victory time later in our room.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Nothing yet but I'll keep shifting
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP/Epilogue-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.3.25
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Selena lets out a breath in the castle, scrubbing her face as she peers out at the restoration project going on in Hapian; happy that Qui has gotten her act together
<DeathStar> *then turns to face Ymir, who is standing there, wearing a suit*
<DeathStar> <Selena> So, if I sign this contract, I'll get everything I need that the nobles keep denying me? *Ymir nods and Selena overlooks it for hidden traps and then signs it. Ymir takes the paperwork and slides it into her clothing, moving downstairs. Ymir studying the Suisen teleportation system that has been offline lately due to the war.*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> I might also be able to do something about that as part of the care package. What with the upcoming war and Geyze hurting, needing to move around is more important than ever. Needing to wait for Spirits or those who can move is more troublesome than ever.
<DeathStar> *back at the Academy, Asarar sneezes*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I just got a bad feeling
<Seraphna> Luci> **wearing a Legion helmet and drinking** Hmmm?
<Xanatos> 6* Logan slowly lifts hsi head up and lowers his sunglasses
<Jackieness> <Kira> "So who will we need to kill?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Oh yeah. How'd that work out for you?
<Seraphna> Luci> Did you know being able to breathe fire is really impressive to those guys?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I don't know. I just been seeing Ymir on Geyze a lot, making deals with in areas that need money. Also Shinobu hasn't been showing her face lately. Like has anyone seen her at all since the war? Projects have been going through and running like normal, but no one has seen Shinobu publically. I've been wondering if one of us should go check on her
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We were all so worried about Qui but maybe Shinobu isn't doing as well as we thought
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Wait, you actually went and took over the Legion?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmmm. She owes me tea.
<Xanatos> <Logan> I could go check it out. Vampires love me. Lots of blood.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina eyes Logan* ... naughty
<Xanatos> <Logan> I'm joking Sabrina, don't think bad of me!
<Seraphna> Luci> Oh I think I more or less left the idea that if Mykel is challenged a dragon might come in to fill the gap and eat more guards and horses.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Huh; so did that one girl take the hint?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Ardea?
<Seraphna> Luci> Dunno. But I like her. Might get them to form some kinda Union.
<Seraphna> Luci> Though she is cute. I wonder if Max will share.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yeah. Something tells me she'll spear you. *Turns to Logan and Jaime* Give us a report on Shinobu. Kira and I will look into what Ymir is up to
<DeathStar> <Asarar> See why she is moving about visiting the leaders that were involved in the war
<Xanatos> <Logan> Cool. Spirit me away Jaime. 6* He holds his arms out wide
<Seraphna> **Jaime grabs his hand and teleports away to Shinobu’s palace**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "MAybe we need to get som eyes and ears back on Kumen while the cat is away."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yeah. Maybe I should hire Neekito. But she's been holed up in Ellie's house lately.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Last time I saw her she didn't look well
<Seraphna> Luci> Well our spirit lady just left.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well we'll find someone
<DeathStar> -END-
