<DeathStar> Location: Ancient Ship
* Xanatos has joined #TAW-Session511
<DeathStar> *The team has been on the pyramidish ship flying through space for the past few days, stuck in one of the rooms as they travel; it's clearly meant for Croza to live as it does not have a lot to go in by way of comforts, but at least they were able to bring along their items from the planet (cont)
<DeathStar> *Neekito has made makeshift beds in the strange rooms that seem to be geared toward Spiritish creatures, otherwise the rooms have mainly terminals in the rooms and not a lot else.*
<Seraphna> **Talia thankfully has the best furniture in the group, Gwen**
<DeathStar> *Gwen eyes her*
<Seraphna> Talia> **purrs**
<DeathStar> *Celes sits on one of the beds, looking tired with not a lot of stimulation*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> This shape is quite fascinating.
<Seraphna> **Alita leans back reading over one of the books she brings with her**
<ChadWinters`> *ship*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh likewise reads, in as comfortable a position as the ship will allow for
<Jackieness> <Lana> *is surrounded by her ethereal consoles, completely distracted*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix has tried to get out of the room and help out on the ship, not wanting to be cooped up with everyone.
<Seraphna> **Talia is making socks with spare thread, they have fish on them**
<DeathStar> *BIX is indeed allowed out - after all, his characters has been stated to been working with the Croza almost every day*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon looks through his notepad.
<DeathStar> *Lana would find the terminals have been limited in what they can connect, perhaps on purpose, but they seem to be connected to the mainframe of the computer.*
<DeathStar> *and the spirit chamber on the side in each room is for the Croza's sleep*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Pity we didn't know more of this time. I feel a bit...anxious about the next steps in this war.
<DeathStar> <Celes> We simply ran out of time I suppose
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "All we can do right now is study and train."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Indeed.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Though we are in a working Ancient Temple
<DeathStar> *she glances around*
<Seraphna> Alita> Good time to learn something we could use.
<DeathStar> <Neekito> So?
<Jackieness> <Lana> *intakes what she can from the local terminal connections, passing them through ehr own personal technomatic devices*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I've been scanning what I can to learn what I can without being to intrusive
<Xanatos> <Simon> I suppose my anxiety comes from a lack of a working portal. I was hoping to have that ready before we moved onto the next steps.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I guess it will have to be done under duress
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Even if you did, you'd have to disassemble it and reassemble it in the cave, right?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...the portal needs to be working on the caven on geyze..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> It was a rather large portal
<Seraphna> Talia> Even I can’t carry a portal!
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Yes. I believe that is one thing that has to be exact. That or we would need to convince one of the big three to move it for us after we use it
<DeathStar> *now that Lana knows everything there is to the commands of how the rooms work, including lights, etc etc*
<DeathStar> *as well as door commands*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Lana is correct, we need all those crystals to power it.
<DeathStar> *the cat spirit inside Talia reaches and maesses with Talia's stuff*
<Seraphna> **Talia pets it**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *weaves some convenience scripts for room automation, then turns the lights on and off without leaving her space*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Lana, it seems you've gained access to their network to a point
<DeathStar> *Gwen raises an eyebrow at Lana messing with their scripts* <Celes> I believe they left it open for us as far as the rooms go
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Nice! Automated lights!"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Mmm-hmmm. Pretty sure I cna adjust the comfort level for the room air too."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Makes sense. It's not like we'd ruin anything messing with the lighting."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> But learning how to operate it and access it remotely get's us one step closer to understanding the rest of their tech.
<Seraphna> Talia> Lana! Make fish!
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Yeah.. they don't have any type of instant food tech that does anythign beyond cube-shape."
<Xanatos> 6* Bix returns and has a container of cube shapes food, holding them out to the group.
<Seraphna> Talia> But fish!
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I feel like they never bothered with that."
<Seraphna> **Alita smiles and takes some, making some look like fish for Talia with water vapor**
<DeathStar> <Celes> Thank you, BIX
<DeathStar> <Gwen> How is out there?
<Xanatos> 6* Bix salutes and then tilts his head.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "If you can make it taste like fish too, that'll be impressive."
<Xanatos> <BIX> .... 6*He taps his chin thinking.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "What is mroe important is that I can reproduce their most basic terminal tech now, replacing the spirit powered parts with mana power instead."
<Xanatos> <BIX> Nervous.
<Seraphna> Alita> Hmmm…
<DeathStar> *As Lana says that, after a bit the lights in the room begin to act up and seem to go off with a reading about low spirit tech energy in Ancient*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> It's dark
<Seraphna> Talia> I miss the light
<Xanatos> <BIX> ...Low spirit!
<ChadWinters`> 6Id glows slightly with spirit energy
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...I cannot read my notes any longer.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ah... you haven't been using too much power, have you?"
<Alicia> * Ceilidh casts her signature spell... creating a light glow with magic.
<DeathStar> <Celes> I wonder if the Croza will show up
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Mmm-hmmm... still some glitches." *looks over her console, moving some of the patterns in the air* "...my guess is that they have a diagnostic that checks the spirit health of connected systems. My technomagic doesn't rely on spirit energy, so it kept giving it NULL, so their system freaked out."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That would do it."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> That or somethings drained the entire ship.
<DeathStar> *The door opens and an angelic winged being floats in, bowing to BIX and moves to the system*
<Seraphna> Talia> Birdy.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *swipes with ehr hand and starts up a visual novel to amuse herself*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Not our usual dude. I think
<Xanatos> 6* BIX salutes to the being and stands there bouncing on his heels.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Food cube please." *holds a hand out*
<Seraphna> **Alita pops one in her mouth**
<DeathStar> *The Croza looks over the system, then begins to do something, glowing over the console - it seems to interact with spirit energy and not even needing to touch it. Words flash on the console and soon the lights come back on*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "So, what happened?"
<DeathStar> *The Croza pauses, peering at Ceilidh* Addressing this one?
<Xanatos> <Simon> I think she was.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Yes."
<Seraphna> **Talia noms her cube fish and shares with the cat spirit**
<DeathStar> *The Croza floats, almost menancingly, then it launches into a tech filled ramble* The ship was having conflicting systems plugged into it that would not work so the systems failed to work properly, only spirit tech will work; but this one believes we should be more open with other tech even if we cannot be using it like this new power like magic and mana. *it continues to speak rapidly for a Croza*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That's a reasonable attitude."
<DeathStar> <Croza> This one tries to get others to allow it to experiment but it is always turned down since we cannot use it and if something happened none of us could use it
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Make it stop
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Huh... maybe... could right compatibility... layer..." *distractedly*
<DeathStar> <Croza> This one must go now; tasked with repairs on ship. *it floats off*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id waits til it's gone. 1"That one enjoys talking
<DeathStar> <Gwen> You don't?
<Seraphna> Talia> It seemed nice! Like Id but pretty.
<DeathStar> *The cat spirit eats more cubes*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> At times
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...still...my little experiment could lead to new thigns down the road...huh..."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Absolutely."
<DeathStar> *Neekito climbs on top of some equipment and sleeps*
<DeathStar> --TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 19,966 3.25 Croza Era
<DeathStar> Location: Ancient Ship
<DeathStar> *Celes paces the hallways outside their room, while Gwen does exercises on the stairs nearby, since they're not actually confined to their rooms; Neekito has vanished since learning that*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *pretty much stays in the room, glued to her consoles*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> So. Talia.
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats above Lana.
<Seraphna> Talia> Mew?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> What should we do while the geeks play with the console.
<Seraphna> Talia> Explore? Find a corner to snuggle?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Judging by these rooms I think we're at the base of the temples
<DeathStar> *muses, having gone to a school in one*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I guess nothing should stop us. They let BIX do it
<DeathStar> *Lana would find she still has limited access*
<DeathStar> *Gwen takes Talia's hand and walks up the stairs to another level. Celes pauses, then follows them*
<Seraphna> **Talia nods** We will find their secret fish supply.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh is exploring what little of the systems she has access to
<DeathStar> *Ceilidh would find their systems are limited mainly to their rooms still - doors to lock people out for privacy. Lights, the spirit chamber*
<DeathStar> *they can also send messages*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *weaves more, trying to create a compaitiblity layer on her side to talk to the Croza systems without causing a feedback issue*
<Seraphna> **Alita sends Lana a winky**
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats over to the Spirit chamber, studying it for a moment, then scanning it
<DeathStar> *the system is all spirit tech based. It seems anything that messes with the spirit tech or disrupts it will cause the room to depower/send an alarm after a bit for maintenance. The spirit-tech seems massively advance, and it's clear that Geyze's is built off of it*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...Id...have you ever been an adapter?"
<DeathStar> *scanning the chamber results is protective blocks*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon has been exploring once they discovered they were allowed to do that. Mostly to determine just how different the temples are compared to their school time.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Yes. Hmmm. Interesting.
<Seraphna> **Alita seems to be looking into if they can collect and store data to bring back considering the time constraints**
<DeathStar> *for those exploring, the temple layout is nearly identical to the modern day ones, however the Temple is active here. Those walking see Croza floating around the halls and there's terminals and things on the wall glowing with power. Monitors show camera like devices of things outside, etc*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...your spirit-based ystems could adapt to interface with their systems...while your origins means you might be compatible with my tech."
<DeathStar> *There's even "hidden" hallways opened up that aren't open in modern days to chambers with advance looking technology the Croza are using that show weapons that are active - that look like weapons aimed outside at the stars*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Jesus.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It could also overwhelm my systems and cause catastrophic failure
<DeathStar> *Spirits even
<DeathStar> <Celes> All that is hidden in the walls?
<DeathStar> *Celes nods to Simon as they walk around*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...still...exciting, isn't it?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Yes, it is.
<Jackieness> 6* Lana's glasses catch the light off her the consoles, obscuring her eyes*
<DeathStar> *Neekito is at a terminal that isn't locked to just the rooms, messing with it; it seems to be a terminal to one of the weapons. Until she is shooed away, but when the Croza is distracted she goes back*
<Seraphna> Talia> Pretty, but lacking fish. **hugs Gwen’s arm**
<DeathStar> <Celes> I wonder if in modern day you could open these walls back up.
<Seraphna> Talia> And forge Kitty Empire.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I could adapt mys systems with time... but there isn't enough time to do so. We're talking months.. maybe even years."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> If you want to give me access to your systems, I can start running trials and come up with something
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "If only there was a way to send the details back in time for us."
<Jackieness> <Lana> Come ont hen, Id. Let's itnerface."
<DeathStar> *As those wandering, they near the bridge; in the modern day, it's massively expanded compard to Sasha's day*
<DeathStar> *with a command like center and consoles, devices to watch over the temple's many areas and outside the Temple, and buttons to use the weapons here*
<DeathStar> *many Croza are here, including their guide*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Sasha would love this
<DeathStar> *as they talk, the Croza seem to be dealing with some enemy Temples in the area*
<Seraphna> **Talia tilts her head and looks around taking things in**
<DeathStar> *The team really has no way to store information, unless they have Id do it I suppose*
<DeathStar> *they could ask the Croza also I guesS*
<Seraphna> **Alita muses** I suppose I must borrow Id next.
<Seraphna> **Alita goes to ask them**
<Xanatos> <Simon> Are we in some sort of skirmish?
<Alicia> * Ceilidh does her best with low tech solutions, namely paper and pen.
<Seraphna> Talia> Pew pew baddies.
<ChadWinters`> 6Id let's out an audible sigh at that phrasing
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Mmmmm?"
<DeathStar> *their guide turns to them* Yes. They have been attacking us at various points through out journey. *the allied temple ships move to intercept and a skirmish begins; the temple shakes for those up top, but Lana and them feel nothing below as the weapons fire between the two sides; who knows how often this has been going on?*
<Seraphna> Talia> War we’ll underway.
<DeathStar> *The Ancient Ships powerful beams of spirit energy slamming into each other; at first they seem to absorb it but slowly a temple ship does begin to have blasts slam through it*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> What happens if we're on a losing ship...?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Well, you don't have to do if you don't to."
<Xanatos> <Simon> This has happened often....and we didn't know?
<Xanatos> 6* Bix runs by holding some equipment, taking it off to probably hand off to the repairman croza.
<DeathStar> <Croza> Have been encountering 12 battles. BIX buddy very helpful
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Well restraint is something you're known for so as long as we follow my protocols and safety systems we should be fine
<Xanatos> <Simon> ... 6* He glances at Gwen and the others.
<DeathStar> *the temple reports some damage to a portion of the temple as it takes too many hits and the repair Croza move with Bix*
<DeathStar> *Gwen looks a bit uneasy*
<DeathStar> <Croza> Apologizes - did not want to worry. Hence limited access.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We could run some virutal scenarios first, if that makes you feel better."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I bet Lana would be angry if she knew all the fun she's been having with the room controls were just to keep her "worry free".
<Xanatos> <Simon> Could any of us assist...out there? 6* He motions out in space, looking to Gwen.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It would. I only have a few remaining shells
<DeathStar> *Gwen muses* Well, we're both spirit adept. We might could activate their weapons
<Seraphna> Talia> We be safe, Gwen.
<DeathStar> *Gwen eyes the temple map in the room where all the gunneries are located*
<Seraphna> **Alita checks with a spirit if they could get some sort of recording devices or data storage**
<DeathStar> *the Croza guide looks at them curious*
<Xanatos> <Simon> I would hope we do not replace a superior marskman if we do. But I would certainly feel better helping.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Alright... then let me do a passive map of their systems and then we need to map yours."
<DeathStar> <Croza> Hm, if you are wanting to help, we could rotate you out so they are not being overworked,
<Xanatos> <Simon> We would gladly offer our aid, but if we are an inconvenience on your in any well, please tell us plainly.
<DeathStar> *the battle looks to be in their favor, thankfully*
<DeathStar> <Croza> Understanding we are being. Adding name to battle roster
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods and at least has his name and Gwen's put on the roster.
<DeathStar> *Alita finds a Croza, tilting it's angelic head, then floats off, then soon returns with a strange device*
<DeathStar> *handing it to her and floats off*
<Seraphna> **Alita muses, inspecting it and going to Lana to have her look at it**
<DeathStar> *As this battle wraps up and they move on, speeding up to a faster speed, they monitor the repairs*
<DeathStar> *it looks to be a device you pour spirit energy into and it then records stuff*
<Xanatos> 6* BIX walks by with a smaller loads of damages parts for recycling and gives him a thumbs up as he passes.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I will allow you to access to some of my systems. But some of them I do not even have access to.
<DeathStar> *Celes points at a map with relic and chamber room* What is that room? <Croza> Is is being room to power up beings with talents, but is being dangerous. Only recommend using in dangerous times. It is a chamber to power up individuals for special tasks
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Oh? Do you know what they do?"
<Seraphna> **Alita muses and starts using the device to record what records she can call up**
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I see. It can bring out latent talents, but it might also kill the,.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Somewhat
<DeathStar> *Alita would find a lot of the records/files limited in the rooms down below as she records, since the Croza are making the area stress free*
<Xanatos> <Simon> I'm not certain any of us would take on that risk.
<Seraphna> **Alita muses and starts going to find better access**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ohhhh?"
<DeathStar> *As Alita goes upstairs, she passes Croza running around due to the post battle, but the terminals up here are not locked*
<Seraphna> Talia> Is that how they made spirits stronger?
<Seraphna> **Alita starts calling up their records and saving what she can**
<DeathStar> <Croza> Doubtful; it may be a version of this however. We are still looking into it
<Seraphna> Talia> Can it make super-fish?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Some of them systems are in place for certain scenarios. Some of just the programming that Winters wanted to keep safe.
<DeathStar> *the Croza seem confused*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Fail safes if you will
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Well, we should eb able to just run with the 'public' interfaces anyway."
<Seraphna> **Alita harvests all the data she can, starting with medical info followed by history and then tech**
<Xanatos> <Simon> Talia like to eat fish. 6* He sketches a quick and simple fish and shows it to the croza.
<Xanatos> (likes)
<Seraphna> Talia> Fish is the best food for kitties.
<Seraphna> Talia> Then birds.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I would be ok with that
<DeathStar> *The Croza studies it* Ah. There is a planet with such a creature.
<Seraphna> Talia> Fish world!?
<DeathStar> *she is given coordinates*
<Seraphna> Talia> Talia won this one.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 19,966 3.30 Croza Era
<DeathStar> Location: Ancient Temple
<DeathStar> *After being involved in a lot more battles, Simon and Gwen have helped fend off attacks with the Croza crew and Gwen has shared with Ceilidh what he's seen upstairs*
<DeathStar> *Celes is on the bridge with Gwen; today the Temple is going to land on a planet*
<Seraphna> **Talia draws up plans to find the fish spirit**
<DeathStar> *The cat spirit has eaten it*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *studies up on the Croza tech*
<DeathStar> *Their Croza guide speaks up* We are near our destination. This planet will help us launch our counter attack finally.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> And may I inquire as to how?
<Xanatos> <Simon> A counter attack? That is good to know.
<DeathStar> <Croza> By attacking
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Vague, but I should've expected that.
<DeathStar> *the ancient temples float toward a planet; on the map they are in the heart of the anti-Croza forces and also near Geyze at this point*
<DeathStar> <Neekito> I have a bad feeling at this point
<Xanatos> <Simon> I was curious, what sort of a prescence do your enemies have on the planet Geyze where we first came from?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Interesting that their main base was so close to Geyze.
<Seraphna> Talia> Mean we need go to portal soon?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> You must have a way or a weapon that your confident with that will allow this mission to succeed.
<DeathStar> <Croza> We are being in contact with the Spirits there; they are still waging war on planet. It is not fully taken yet
<DeathStar> *as they begin to descend on the planet, it looks like a jungle planet*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I feel like there is a word for what we're likely to be doing..."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon considers that.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Genocide?
<DeathStar> *at that moment, enemy Temples rise from the jungle and begin to attack and a Spirit rises with them. The female spirit advances and heads for them, flickering various colors; as the spirit blasts rock them and their fleet, the spirit rams into temple, trying to get in*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... that's sobering to think."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon blinks
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Sobering? I would've thought mortifying. I will adjust my thoughts on everyone.
<Seraphna> **Talia mewls, and Alita forms a spirit barrier**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> What would you lke us to do? 6Id addresses the Croza
<DeathStar> *Celes holds onto anything she cna *
<Xanatos> <Simon> We need to determine where that spirit is entering and move to defend that location.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... I've already been mortified."
<DeathStar> <Croza> We will need to take them out to reach the portal . <Croza 2> .. it looks like they have destroyed the portal. <Croza> The first order stands. We will take them out and make this our launching point into the heart of their operations
<Seraphna> Talia> Simon fix portal?
<DeathStar> *The spirit flickers and begins to make acid like powers, burning into the temple while the two sets of temples fire at each other; their guide speaks* <Croza> We will need to either capture that spirit or destroy it
<ChadWinters`> <Id> And how we should deal with the corrupt Spirits?
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hm. Yes spirit first, portal second.
<Seraphna> **Alita frowns, focusing and forming a void burst outside to blast at the Spirit**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...I don't think we can fix them right now..."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I believe those here will try to capture the Spirit even at their own peril
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That's good..."
<DeathStar> *the spirit is knocked back, looking surprised; the two sides seem to be doing heavy damage, but the thankfully they seem to be left alone as the spirit is attcking them*
<Seraphna> **Alita opens her book and follows it with a meteor strike after the spirit flies back**
<DeathStar> *the spirit flickers and begins to use a new power on them, touching the shield. Alerts go off and the team recogizes radiation until the meteor hits it*
<DeathStar> *sending it flying back; it flies back upm pissed*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Perhaps I was wrong about them trying to capture it.
<Xanatos> <Simon> How long can you keep that up Alita?
<DeathStar> *the Croza keep going, trying to get out of range of the spirit and battle*
<Seraphna> **Alita answers by reading the book again and bringing down another meteor**
<DeathStar> *The spirit crashes into the jungle out of sight*
<Seraphna> Alita> That may give us some time.
<DeathStar> *The two sides are still hammering each other, but their side is losing so far. The surprise attack went well for the enemy*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> We need to do something to change the tide.
<DeathStar> *the enemy has 8 Temple Ships to their 9, but their 9 are heavily damaged overall*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> You got an idea?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Well. I believe if given full access to this ship's systems, and with Lana's help, we maybe able to hack their systems and corrupt them.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon arches a brow at Id, glancing to the floating ball and then looks to the Croza.
<DeathStar> <Croza> Doing so in battle would be a deteriment to ship controls
<Seraphna> Talia> Doom of Meowicles maybe too much for this.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hmmmm?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I believe if someone skileld enough pilots the ship manually, I would be able to not affect it that way
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "How does this help?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> In theory, I could either overload each of their pyramids engines and blow them up or at the most, shut down their systems giving our side a chance to over power them
<DeathStar> <Croza> Theory is not spiritally sound. Ships are not linked.
<Seraphna> **Alita muses** Are the Temple designs the same?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> You have a way to communicate between them, correct? That or I would atleast know how to affect the system in a way that we could infilrate.
<DeathStar> <Croza> Basic designs yes but each ship has a unique spirit code.
<Seraphna> Alita> Would their power core device thing be in the same place?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> That would add a layer of difficulty to the equation.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I get it now. If we can access the systems of the other ships..."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "But I doubt they would have their systems just open during a battle."
<DeathStar> <Croza> Most do yes, specific models do not.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon frowns to himself and moves to see if he can get one of the cannons to accept some of his spirit energy to help power them up. Since he cannot help with the hacking.
<DeathStar> *While Simon helps with the cannons, Gwen goes to do the same*
<Seraphna> **Alita nods and looks for one of the standard looking ones, then tries summoning a void rift where it’s core would be**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I would still be willing to try but I do believe some of you will need to do some power hitting then
<Seraphna> **Alita tries the same but with Shade’s powers**
<DeathStar> *due to the distance, not being on Geyze, this will be a roll, one moment*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Lana, do you feel confident in our work to this point that you can brute access the other ships systems with my assistance?
<DeathStar> *Alita feels Shade is just too darn far*
<Seraphna> **Alita muses, pulling out the fire relic and the gem she got**
<DeathStar> **with Simon and Gwen's help, the heroes fleet pulls in the lead just a bit - 7 to 6*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We can give it a shot."
<DeathStar> *The Croza still do not look confident*
<Seraphna> **Talia mews and starts casting a fireball, forming it outside the ship and fires at an enemy ship. Alita uses the fire relic and trails they attack with a bigger one like a one two punch**
<ChadWinters`> 6Id forms spirit terminals similar in nature to what Lana uses around him as he moves close to her
<Xanatos> <Simon> I was thinking Gwen. Perhaps if we survive this that our group should venture to Geyze and help with the efforts on the ground there. 6* He says between firing shots.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *summons her ethereal terminals and prepaes the interface*
<DeathStar> *as the fireballs, Simon, and Gwen blow up ships* <Gwen> Yeah. I am curious what it'll be like on the ground
<DeathStar> *it looks like so far the Croza have not set up the ship to turn over control*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "You know... I don't think our hosts want to risk this move."
<Seraphna> **Talia talks with the cat spirit and tries to summon the Doom of Meowicles on one ship, but with spirit kitties**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Everything is within acceptable paramenters, Lana. Please convince them.
<DeathStar> *Talia summons the Doom of Meow thing on top of the ship, since you know, sheilds*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ummm... ah... convincing isn't really my strongsuit..."
<Seraphna> **A horde of spirit cats would attack it**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Now is a good time to try. I hear a pouty face works
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ummm... we wish to attempt the hackign attempt on enemy ship systems..."
<DeathStar> *something is in Ceilidh
<DeathStar> *something is in Ceilidh's pocket*
<DeathStar> *whispering to her*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "If it works, we..." *checks her pocket*
<DeathStar> <Croza> We are still not believing it is doable and if we shift control we will be losing valuable control/time
<Jackieness> <Lana> "..ok...they are totally not going to be convinced."
<DeathStar> *it is that thing of Lana's there again, nudging her if she wants power to help, she should go downstairs to that one room*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Show them your chest!
<DeathStar> *they are slowly widdling the enemy away but heavy casualityies, 5-4*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Lana, I believe you need to trust in yourself more.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *just looks at Gwen with wide eyes*
<Seraphna> **Talia takes the lightning relic out of their general storage and calls lightning down on one ship while Alita sends out fireballs at another**
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I'm kidding, just picture them naked.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *continues to stare*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Picture me naked.
<DeathStar> *they're spirit beings with no sexual organs, so it's easy*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "..muh?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> It means relax
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I was told that a joke helps one relax
<Jackieness> <Lana> *juet lets out a breath*
<DeathStar> *the attacks help damage the shields on a few fo the enemy ships*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "The room downstairs... how does it work?"
<DeathStar> *the object in her pocket guides Ceilidh downstairs during the chaos and she finds a chair with all sorts of dangerous looking things that pokes a person and a button to activate, the object talking into her mind telling her all she has to do is lay down and hit the button to get powers*
<DeathStar> *the heroes are finally a bit in the lead - 5 - 3*
<Seraphna> Talia> Picture me naked Lana! **unhelpfully, does a lightning dance sending more lightning on enemy ships**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> The odds are in our favor now.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...wait...where did Ceilidh go?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I think she left since she had nothing to do?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I heard her talk about the device that will grant untold power.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *claps her hands togther, dismissing her consoles* "I hope she's not doing something stupid..." *starts walking down to the empowerment chamber*
<Seraphna> **Alita keeps doing the work, looking tired but using the gem to renew her energy**
<Seraphna> **Alita sends more fireballs out**
<Alicia> * Ceilidh is examining the machine, but isn't activating it right now. It's probably not a good idea except in emergencies... and they're winning, right?
<DeathStar> *the object in her pocket nudges her a bit* For now. But what if Lana suddenly just decides not to use their plan?*
<DeathStar> *oh no; even as the fireballs hit the shields, the bad guys score some major hits and catch back up a bit, 3 - 3*
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...this is not boding well.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> No.
<Seraphna> **Alita curses the narrative pushing Ciel into her superhero origin story as she and Talia focus fire and lightning at one ship**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I see. This will make the task harder for me if I were to do it alone. Unless Simon backs me up with his Chronos' power incase I fail.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *pokes her head into the empowerment chamber* "Ceilidh?"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "How *does* this work?"
<DeathStar> *Suddenly, their tempel rocks*
<DeathStar> *the spirit is back*
<DeathStar> *Even as they score anotehr win, 2-3, the spirit begins to burn it's way through their shields*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Simon!
<Seraphna> **Talia hops on Alita and they hold hands and Alita reinforces the spirit shield**
<DeathStar> <Neekito> ... should I go out there and do battle?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Whya re you down her,e Ceilidh?" *walks into the room*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Croza, I do not believe that us moving right now is helpful in this battle as long as that spirit is attacking us point black. I believe now maybe the time to take that risk.
<Seraphna> Alita> You cannot afford to… we’ll break out the big guns.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes? I'm not certain what help I can be that is why I am on these cannons.
<Seraphna> **Alita pulls out her fire staff and starts focusing while Talia closes her eyes and pushes mana into it**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I wanted to know how this works.."
<Xanatos> 6* BIX comes running by with his body outlined in red, heading down to get closer to the spirit.
<DeathStar> *The Croza begin to power down things to allow Id to do his things; the guns stopping for the moment*
<DeathStar> *The spirit struggles to get in where Bix is waiting*
<Seraphna> **Alita and Talia unleash a fire storm on the spirit, guiding the flames at it**
<DeathStar> *the spirit flickers, changing powers and begins to absorb it*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id begins to access the pyramids' systems, quickly working his way through systems to find a way to access and brute force his way in to the other ships systems
<Seraphna> **Alita and Talia cut it off, then Alita sends water at it**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Come on, let's get up to the bridge."
<DeathStar> *the button is right there, or she can follow Lana*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pauses and begins to channel an ice spell of a massive hail strorm to buffet the spirit after the water.
<DeathStar> *Prepare yourself Id, to see if you can do this*
<DeathStar> Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Down, Down, Down, Right, Left, Down, Right, Down, Left, Right, Down, Up
<DeathStar> 5
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I guess it'll be here if we need it later." *follows Lana*

<DeathStar> *Id manages to identify the other two ships - sort of it. Indeed they have their own "codes", but they have a basic outline. It might be possible to destroy them at a distance.*
<DeathStar> *The Spirit seems to get annoyed and begins off, planning something*
<DeathStar> *the other ships pause in their attack, probably detecting something is up*
<DeathStar> *begins - backs
<Seraphna> **Alita frowns, she pushes Talia behind her and starts to form a spell she hasn’t used in years**
<ChadWinters`> 6Id flickers a rapdily, the terminals flashing quickly as it begins to access things. First trying to send all their systems in to diagnostic mode like Lana did, and then pushing towards their engine systems in an attempt to cause them to either shut down or overload
<DeathStar> *The spirit attacks with a spirit attack from a distance, hitting their ship and decides to just melt them from the distance*
<Seraphna> **Talia shrugs and summons lightning on one of the stopped ships**
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Tch
<Jackieness> <Lana> *arrives on the bridge with Ceilidh*
<Seraphna> **Alita focus on the spirit as she starts casting a Magi spell to try and absorb spirit energy**
<Xanatos> <BIX> BIX WANT PUNCH. 6* He says to Neekito about the spirit, shaking a fist outward.
<DeathStar> *the object in Ceilidh's pocket is gone now*
<DeathStar> *Neekito muses, then warps Bix outside over the spirit*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...wait...I know that algorithm... you started without me?!"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Yes.
<DeathStar> Prepare yourself, Iddy
<Seraphna> **Talia keeps up the lightning on the ships**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Why does that thing keep appearing and disappearing?"
<DeathStar> Up, Down, Right, Left, Right, Left, Left, Up, Right, Left, Down, Right, Right, Down, Down, Right, Left, Light, Down

<Jackieness> <Lana> "Hmmm?" *looks at Ceilidh* "...what thing?"
<Xanatos> 6* BIX blinks and sees the spirit, immedietly blasting downward with his elbow cannons and winding up for a big punch.
<Xanatos> (elbow boosters)
<DeathStar> *the enemy ships begin to drop, either from Id or the lightning, or a combination; Bix meanwhile slams into the spirit who dtops, who begins to switch to acid mode, grabbing at him; Neekito appears to the side and swings her sword at her*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Oh dear
<ChadWinters`> 6Id while still in their systems tries to copy whatever information he can
<Seraphna> **Alita keeps at the drain too since anything else she can do would hit all three**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I think it's the source of the voice."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> All enemy ships are currently in disarray and vulnerable
<DeathStar> *Id comes face to face with a Croza face, that tries to grab him and absorb him while the Temple goes down*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix does a small pop from his calf booster to twist around and try to time it so he can get another kick in after the sword strike.
<DeathStar> *all in the computer*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "... ... ..." *moves to grab Ceil by the shoulders* "You had it?!"
<ChadWinters`> 6Id instantly tries to retreat and disconnect.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... apparently?"
<DeathStar> *The Computer Croza is sad - maybe*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks voer* "Id need my help!" *runs over to try to assist Id*
<DeathStar> *Bix smacks the Spirit into the sword and they tumble into the jungle again*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I was not expecting that. I will need to run diagnostics after this.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Please destroy the ships while you can. I am no longer inside their systems.
<DeathStar> *Neekito lands on a tree top as their Temple flies with the remaining other two Temple ships to the broken portal, smashed to dust. The 3 ships landing on the ground outside the jungle*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon tries to focus fire on the one that Gwen is targeting.
<DeathStar> *Gwen nods and fires at the fallen ships*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *raises her consoels to run diagnostics on Id*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Lana, I perhaps reached to far.
<Seraphna> **Alita muses** Not sure this spell works… but we will need to destroy or contain that… toxic spirit.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...I shouldn't have run off and left you to try this solo...."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I was fine until I tried to dump your systems in to my storage area.
<DeathStar> *Lana finds a strange something*
<ChadWinters`> *Their*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix's explosions go off occassionally in the jungle, not doubt being SO strong...or getting his ass kicked.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...got something..." *tries to contain it*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id works with Lana, moving to help isolate whatever she found
<Alicia> * Ceilidh tries to help too, despite not completely knowing what's going on
<DeathStar> *the enemy Spirit rises up, throwing back their short hair; everytime they flicker, their appearance changes, going to long hair now and eye color changing as well nd even height. They float like with helium powers now and then when they land on a tree and then flickers to another look and power and their fists gleam, going head to head with BIX*
<DeathStar> <Computer Croza> You will not remove me. *it declares once found.* We are being the collective you downloaded
<DeathStar> *it shifts to another spot inside Id*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Removing it maybe a problem Lana. I believe we will need to contain it and lock it down in one place for now
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Id, you should know better than to get intimate with strange computers..." *tries to trace its new hiding place*
<DeathStar> *Lana receives an insult in Ancient*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...h...hey!"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It was an oversight. I got to greedy.
<ChadWinters`> 6Id continues to lock down systems it finds clean of the Croza program to help lock it in one place
<DeathStar> *Id receives complaints about his space and demands more room*
<Xanatos> 6* BIX blinks and seems distracted for a brief moment which causes him to get decked and knocked back through the trees.
<DeathStar> *Neekito lands by Bix* You okay?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Do not make me delete myself.
<DeathStar> <Celes> I think Id has a friend
<Xanatos> 6* Bix shakes some of the stars away and slowly pushes himself to his feet.
<DeathStar> *Gwen lifts Talia*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> You did good today
<Xanatos> <Bix> ....spirit...strong.
<Xanatos> <BIX> Spirit...cute. 6* he covers his face in his hands.
<Seraphna> Talia> Glory for Meowicles!
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Don't worry, we almost have it cornerd."
<DeathStar> <Neekito> I think I'm a little insulted. *she leaps as the spirit arrives. *The spirit charging her power and hitting the ground hard enough to rock the temple*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix stumbles and is sent back, but uses his boosters to correct a bit.
<Xanatos> <BIX> S-Surrender spirit!
<DeathStar> *The Croza arrive* Once we finish establishing ourselves here and gather more of our ships, we can launch our ships to the various planets our brethern have taken and reclaim it. We will help you reclaim Geyze
<Xanatos> <Simon> Not to alert everyone but Neekito and Bix are fighting the spirit alone. Those of us who can, should assist. 6* He says as he forms his spear and moves for the exit.
<DeathStar> *oddly the Croza Computer deletes itself after commenting on Lana's looks*
<DeathStar> *degrading them*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...I'm not fat!"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "... ... ...am I?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Lana, try to save what you can of it.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I don't understand why they seem to hate you so much."
<DeathStar> *Celes takes Talia out and Gwen kisses her* <Gwen> You are not
<DeathStar> <Croza Computer<> Do not worry, I was faking it
<DeathStar> *it vanishes again*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...you little..."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What is it with things vanishing all the time?!"
<DeathStar> *Ceilidh vanishes*
<Seraphna> **Talia lets Celes carry her**
<DeathStar> *to the battle field outside*
<DeathStar> *Bix and the unknown spirit are still going at it with Neekito trying to cut them out*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "After comparing my breasts to a cow-analog's udders no less!" *rage*
<DeathStar> *off
<DeathStar> *Celes sets up the spirit device* How do we get her inside?
<Xanatos> <Simon> I have never seen a spirit that can change their form like this. Is this natural or modified strength?
<DeathStar> *Croza studies* I am confessing I think it might be modified by my brethern. It is seeming to have multiple powers
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Give me a moment. 6Id flickers a bit as he scans the spirit, still part of this Pyramid ships systems
<ChadWinters`> <Id> That much power in one vessel.
<Seraphna> Talia> Spirit bait?
<DeathStar> *the spirit seems to be stronger than your average spirit, it's spirit levels high*
<DeathStar> *The Spirit switches to another form, gathering power to draw everyone to it*
<DeathStar> *this time looking much shorter*
<Seraphna> **Alita holds out her hands and tries the Magi drain spell again**
<DeathStar> *Gwen grips the ground*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix is definitely looking wore out and begins to slip past the group to fly towards the spirit but Simon stabs his spear into the ground and does his best to catch him.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I believe they found a way to combine several spirits in to one.
<DeathStar> *The spirit eyes Alita and steps forward, the spell only partially effective as Simon grabs Bix. Neekito runs with the pull and slams into her and rolls*
<DeathStar> *the spirit sits up, going back to her battle form*
<Seraphna> **Talia mews and summons the Doom of Meowicles again, sending spirit kitties at it**
<DeathStar> *the spirit jerks and swats at them*
<Seraphna> **They Mewl and give scratches and demand pets**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon drops Bix after the pull and begins to form runes attempting to form an ice spell to either slow down or partially encase the spirit to give them soem time.
<DeathStar> *The spirit eyes Simon encasing her with the damn cats*
<DeathStar> *Celes sets the spirit device right outside the ice and turns it on*
<DeathStar> *she backs away and Neekito gets away*
<Seraphna> **The kitties vanish**
<DeathStar> *As the enemy spirit pounds her way of the ice, she leaps for Simon when the pull of the spirit device catches her; but since she is awake, she begins to pull herself away from it*
<DeathStar> *straining not to be pulled in*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix rises to his feet and begins charging up a punch.
<Seraphna> **Alita turns up the drain as Talia empowers her**
<Xanatos> <BIX> Sorry...strong...cute...spirit. 6* He blasts forward to punch at her face.
<DeathStar> *she goes to make a wordless noise and is hit, recoiling right into the trap which shuts itself like a Ghostbuster trap*
<DeathStar> *the Croza gathers it up and floats off with it; who knows where she will be placed now.*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix slumps to his knees and lets out a small sigh.
<DeathStar> *Celes pats his shoulder* Hey, maybe she's still around in the present. *though she doubts it*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Our spirits were in those boxes
<Xanatos> 6* BIX perks up and nods, hopping back up to his feet.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Lana, I believe we have the free time to run through my systems to make sure it is gone
<Xanatos> <Simon> One that strong? 6* He considers to himself quietly, hoping that's not the case if it's still corrupted.
<Seraphna> Talia> Victory! Talia gets bonus EXP!
<Xanatos> <BIX> BIX...rest. 6* He thumbs up to the team and moves back for the temple ship.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Though studying that Croza code might be itneresting too."
<Alicia> * Ceilidh... appears!
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Very interesting indeed
<DeathStar> *to Simon* <Gwen> We don't even know where she's put. Assuming that thing isn't destroyed, she could be in a box on any world or worse yet in the Mirror Universe
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I hope for Bix's sake though
<Seraphna> Talia> Mr Croza! Can you put Bix’s girlfriend in our cave after we go?
<DeathStar> *The Croza looks confused*
<Seraphna> **Talia points at the box**
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "We might be able to cure her by then."
<DeathStar> <Celes> There was no such thing in the cave when we arrived the first time Talia
<Xanatos> <Simon> It would have to be somewhere that we didn't encounter during our travels. Perhaps then we could find it.
<DeathStar> *Celes muses, then nods*
<DeathStar> -Mini Time Jump-
<DeathStar> *after wrapping things up and as more Temple Ships begin to arrive, the Croza lift off since the portal is destroyed. They give the spirit box to Simon to hold onto for now*
<DeathStar> *The temple ship begins to head for Geyze with one other ship for now - not a lot of back up for a planet that is suppose to be super important*
<DeathStar> Date: 19,966 4.4 Croza Era
<DeathStar> *soon Geyze appears on the screen*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon looks at it, leaning forward slightly to observe the differences in the planet from a space faring view.
<DeathStar> *with Kumen circling in it's duality*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> So this is it then.
<DeathStar> *and in the middle, barely visible, is the Spirit World*
<Seraphna> Talia> Home!
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Kinda, sorta."
<DeathStar> <Croza> Approaching Kumen will be dangerous. So will land on Geyze and work our way to Kumen after securing Geyze and the Spirits
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Because Kumen has all the technology?
<Xanatos> <Simon> That would make sense.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Right..."
<DeathStar> *The Croza nods and they begin to land down on the planet* <Celes> It feels like it has been months
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "So much has happened..."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> But we've learned a lot
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Absolutely."
<DeathStar> *The temple lands outside the city they began in long ago. Celes and Gwen gathers their stuff and walks off the temple; Ellie and Liana already outside*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats out, his case following him
<DeathStar> <Croza> The first thing that must be done is to find the spirits and make sure they are of right mind.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *disembarks as well*
<DeathStar> <Croza> Then deal with our brethern and any influencers they may have mislead.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon gathers his things and steps down, Bix runs around a bit to secure a perimeter.
<DeathStar> *As BIX runs around, he spots something hidden and it causes them to leap up and aim at the temple*
<DeathStar> *giving him a 3 second chanec to warn*
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<Seraphna> **Talia rides on Gwen’s shoulder, Alita steps out with her things**
<DeathStar> 1
<Alicia> * Ceilidh steps out of the temple
<DeathStar> *the attacker fires on the Temple, shooting a massive blast past Bix at the temple and it strikes it, causing it to rumble and send Ceilidh flying out of it; then they aim at the second*
<Jackieness> <Lana> A"hhhh! Ambush!"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> We are under attack. 6Id quickly points a spirit light towards where the shot came from
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ahhhh!"
<Xanatos> 6* BIX blinks and throws and spout of fire out at the attacker.
<Seraphna> **Alita summons a spirit barrier and Talia firss a mana blast at the attacker**
<DeathStar> *Frost is there, but she looks like she's been modified; the fire hits her and sends her flying away in pain*
<DeathStar> <Frost> ARgh@!
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We need a trap!"
<Xanatos> 6* Bix winces when he realizes, looking upset.
<DeathStar> *Frost pants, eyeing Bix* Next... time....
<DeathStar> *she vanishes*
<Xanatos> <Simon> ... 6* He glances over his shoulder at the damage.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...maybe we should just carry around one at all times."
<DeathStar> *their guide looks to be no more and the temple looks to be completely wrecked and unflyable. The Croza that were okay run around, looking stunned at whatever weapon she used*
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... something tells me they'll be tied up for a while.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> So on our own again?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I do not see our guide.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...it was a direct hit..."
<DeathStar> *Neekito callously points at a spot he was at*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix blinks at that as well, putting his hands on his head in a panic, beginning to pace.
<DeathStar> *Celes hugs Bix and pulls him close* Hey, it's okay. We'll fix all of this.
<Xanatos> <BIX> BIX Fault!
<DeathStar> *Neekito's face softens*
<DeathStar> <Celes> No. You saved the majority of the,.
<DeathStar> <Celes> No. You saved the majority of them
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...that was a powerful weapon...we need to determine what it is and how to stop it next time.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "..r...right."
<Seraphna> Talia> BIX good!
<Xanatos> 6* BIX calms a bit but is distressed, definitely his fault.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Remember, if we never came back, Frost would have destroyed both. And if we never came back, we never would have saved the spirits
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I gathered some data. Hopefully I will be able to detect it if it's used again before it's fired
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Id, we need to study your readings."
<DeathStar> <Celes> By coming back, we are saving people
<Xanatos> <BIX> ...ok
<Xanatos> <BIX> BIX fight harder. Protect.
<DeathStar> *Celes nods and looks to the others* Lets get some of those spirit boxes and head for the city. That way we can stop Frost
<DeathStar> *Gwen muses* What are those other Croza making.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "What do we do about the local authorities who were under the control of our archnemesis last time we were here?"
<Xanatos> <Simon> Yes madam. 6* He bows his head and moves to go bacxk onto the damaged ship.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> .... Stab him?
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Crush him
<DeathStar> <Celes> I say we pretend nothing happened
<DeathStar> <Celes> And go back home.
<Seraphna> Talia> Spank him. Then go home.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...r...right..."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Alright lets go back once Simon returns.
