<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.4.29
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Another day, another conference on the PAX, however this time Leon is there for the Templars, hands crossed together looking grim as he does so, Cersei standing behind him.
<DeathStar> *The Empress and Lenneth are present while Erevis seems to be trying to guage the Templars*
<Xanatos> 6* Theron's hands are clasped together as he sits and listens.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *is sitting to the side and just behind Theron*
* ChadWinters` sits in his spot, studying the Templars
<ChadWinters`> 6Shiva sits, her datapad in front of her as she waits patiently
<DeathStar> <Leon> As you all heard, the Dark Ones of the Unknown Region are heading this way at a rapid pace and will be here within the next month. It seems my people are also doing so as well. From what connections I still have, the a good portion of them are behind in a pincer attack, probably assuming the Erusians will be in the front to act as a wall
<Xanatos> 6* Theron slowly tilts his head at that.
<Seraphna> **Jaime listens quietly**
<DeathStar> *Warren, who is also present, plays with his bottle of pills*
<DeathStar> <Warren> Well, I keep being told that is their duty
<DeathStar> <Leon> Mm. Well, the rest it seems will take a path around the battlegrounds and come into the territory with the rest of their forces.
<DeathStar> *He looks strained as he says that, probably knowing who is going to lead them*
<Alicia> * Charlotte listens quietly
<ChadWinters`> And this other armada, do we need to worry about them?
<Xanatos> <Xan> His face makes me think yes.
<DeathStar> <Leon> Some of you.
<DeathStar> *Leon folds his hands together*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is that implying a specific weakness?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> He's talking about supernatural beings. *she looks up from taking notes*
<ChadWinters`> I suppose now would be the best time for them to start maintaining that 'balance' they want so badly.
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I still say if Dias was the cause of this imbalance we just hand over him. *it doesn't sound like she's joking*
<Seraphna> Thena> Meanies.
<Seraphna> Thena 2> Super meanies.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I think if that would fix it, they'd have asked for that specifically by now."
<ChadWinters`> They don't know who was the root cause of it. Otherwise they would've demanded him by now.
<DeathStar> <Leon> That is true. If they knew they might back off and study him thoroughly. It would not be pleasant
<DeathStar> *Leon looks at Kaori, who is brought to the meetings for protection*
<DeathStar> <Leon> Also, you might want to keep an eye on her
<Seraphna> Angela> Was there a downside?
<Xanatos> <Xan> There's no way we can handle a war within our war, so what are we going to do to keep the Templar at bay>? Are the Dark Ones enough of threat to keep them preoccupied?
<ChadWinters`> <Shiva> I suppose it depends if them helping us causes any certain civil war to occur amongst them. 6She looks over at Leon*'
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "They'd be stupid to start something right now."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You said some of them will be aiding your fleets, Leon, in helping the Erusians when the Dark Ones. <Leon> I plan to add my forces if they wanted them yes. *he nods to Theron* Unless there is another place you wanted me
<DeathStar> <Leon> But as for how many will be not participating. *He stands up and borrows the PAX's equipment for a moment, fiddling with it*
<ChadWinters`> No they wouldn't Charlotte. A lot of our forces are weakened and under pressure by the Dark Ones and Tsiv. They can just move in and start culling with little push back.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Any help would be appreciated.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I meant to start a civil war."
<ChadWinters`> <Shiva> Then we can expect them to do what they want I suppose.
<DeathStar> *A moment or two later, and Titus McKeenen's face appears, Thomas' father. His fleet appears, and it looks massive, with Templar ships under his command being Thomas' old fleet plus new ones* <Leon> It looks like he has the largest fleet out of our 4. I had the largest, but it seems they made his bigger since then.
<DeathStar> <Leon> Titus is old school and cannot be talked down
<Xanatos> <Xan> Old dudes are usually set in their ways. I know because I'm old.
<ChadWinters`> So we'll need a deterrent.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... while I'm not worried about a civil war, I am worried about him demanding his own way about everything."
<DeathStar> *Leon takes a seat and leans back and points at Kaori* He'll defintiely want to deal with her. Even if it means shooting this ship
<DeathStar> <Empress> Which he might could do right now
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... that bad?"
<ChadWinters`> Then we need to keep her whereabouts hidden.
<DeathStar> <Empress> We are in the middle of patching up holes and our shields are still finicky. We would have to put all the strain on Drasek and Ao
<Seraphna> Jaime> I like them in tact..
<Xanatos> <Xan> Do they have a way of tracking superpowered beings? What if a crew took Kaori and fled off into the unknown for a little while?
<ChadWinters`> We could always use her as bait to draw their forces away.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Replacing the batteries from the one PAX to the other is still just a matter of a little adjustments.
<DeathStar> <Empress> But our hull is just a complete mess
<DeathStar> *Leon muses* I might could help you with tracking supernatural being.
<Seraphna> Thena> FrankenPAX.
<ChadWinters`> Well, that would allow us to get an idea of where he'll target.
<DeathStar> <Leon> But it's not an exact science
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "The big danger is that, with Kaori no longer on the PAX, he'll be even more eager to attack whereever she is."
<ChadWinters`> But it wouldn't be the PAX at least.
<DeathStar> <Leon> He might focus on other places in the meantime if she is gone. The PAX is just known to be a hot bed of imbalance
<DeathStar> <Leon> Come, I'll show you those curious how it's done
<ChadWinters`> <Shiva> So hiding them is ultimately pointless.
<DeathStar> *Leon rises and moves to go back to his ship. The Empress meanwhile continues the meeting for those not interested*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan moves to follow, Theron shifts slightly in his seat but remains in place.
<DeathStar> *Adeline goes ith Xanatos, not passing this one up*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I think it's worth seeing his technique." *moves to follow*
* ChadWinters` gets up, leaving an Idlet behind as he moves with Xan
<DeathStar> *Lenneth sends Erevis with Xanatos*
<DeathStar> <Empress> After the stunt with Bobbi, things with the Tsivrixsh have shifted a bit 4 days ago. All signs of their advancement have stopped.
<DeathStar> <Empress> I'm not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing.
<DeathStar> *I am
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps out of side door into view* "...this is going to be a bother. One that Bobbi will not see the humor in."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Hoe so?
<DeathStar> *How
<ChadWinters`> <Shiva> It most likely put them on the defensive.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps over to a chair and sits down* "The Templars, I mean, The deal was their own spot of space to call home, correct?"
<DeathStar> <Empress> Yes that is correct. When this is ove we will have to work with the galactic powers to make carve out territory or give up some from the Suisen
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Of course, the Templars have been invited into Suisen and allied space... sooooo..."
<DeathStar> <Empress> Leon and Cersei's people. *she corrects*
<Xanatos> <Theron> With the help they've afforded to us in these times we will do whatever we can to assist in that effort.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm... we'll see if their peers agree with their more... tolerant stance."
<DeathStar> *Leon arrives at the ship finally and steps into it. The Templar ships inside are mostly all white and prestine, making it feel too clean. Leon leads those with him to a room in the center of the ship* <Leon> Alright, some feel sick inside here, so prepare yourselves
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I'll be curious if it doesn't lead to their arrest
<ChadWinters`> <Shiva> Hence the civil war comment I made earlier.
* ChadWinters` grunts at that, taking in the ship as they walk through.
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...what makes them feel sick?
<ChadWinters`> I imagine the energy this device gives off.
<DeathStar> *Leon steps in through the door to a dark room. Adeline pauses and walks inside*
<ChadWinters`> 6He pulls out his datapad as he steps inside after Adeline
<DeathStar> <Empress> Anyway, we have to becareful - I have ships near the front lines and if things change I will let you know. And based on what Xanatos and the others tell me, we can decide where to put Kaori
<ChadWinters`> <Shiva> I would suggest the fastest ship you have if you plan on keeping her moving around
<DeathStar> *Erevis walks in with Chad and they find themselves flipping upside down it feels like, standing on the ceiling as gravity changes in the pitch black.*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...what about on that tree?"
<Alicia> * Charlotte walks in shortly after
* ChadWinters` stumbles a bit as he puts his hand out to brace himself, clearly being caught off guard by that.
<DeathStar> *Leon activates a machine and space appears of the Unknown Region and their region of space, with red dots appearing, mostly in the Known Region*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan pauses as he steps in, clasping a hand over his mouth, he closes his eyes and just stands there quitely for a minute.
<ChadWinters`> That's a pretty powerful scanning system to be able to scan so much.
<DeathStar> <Leon> The device in here is a type of meteroite in the core that seems to be intune with the supernatural. It's not very big, like it was a piece of something before. We have the pieces in certain ships.
<DeathStar> <Leon> The ships go around and the more it maps out the universe the better mapping it will do. I was taked if you recall with mapping a lot of places
<Xanatos> <Xan> How many---urp---are we talking about?
<DeathStar> <Leon> Supernatural beings?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan shakes his head no and points to the device.
<DeathStar> <Leon> Not that many to be honest. We have one back home and one on each of the Generals ships. And a few other major ships.
<ChadWinters`> Interesting. 6He eyes the machine. 1"Are you willing to share technological data on it?
<DeathStar> <Leon> Even if I did, you'd need the piece
<ChadWinters`> It's possible with Adeline, myself and Taiga. We might be able to find away to block it potentially or at least make it harder.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Wht a shame."
<DeathStar> *Adeline muses, eyes closed as she focuses*
<ChadWinters`> On top of that, it's possible if I can get the data on the meteorite you use in it's core, we could find our own or utilize it to do what we want.
<DeathStar> <Leon> I will send the semantics later. Anyway, *he hits the bottons and the room eems to rotate as it zooms in to their area of the universe*
<DeathStar> *Adeline clearly using her psionics now*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan makes a face at that motion, but for now seems to have his gut under control.
<ChadWinters`> Little bit of a warning next time. 6He puts his hand out again to brace himself.
<DeathStar> *As the map enlarges they find tons of red dots all over* These began to expand rapidly over the past 30-40 years. It's predicted in the next 40 years it'll be mostly all red dots. *he taps at all the red dots, outside places like Tsivrixsh who even are beginning to get some now*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Great, supernatural Tsivrixsh
<ChadWinters`> It was only a natural progression that it would happen.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "There are those who'll see things differently."
<Sara> * Kaori shuffles uncomfortably
<DeathStar> *The Empress muses* The tree?
* ChadWinters` crosses his arms now. 1"Shame we couldn't taint Titus' DNA with something supernatural."
<DeathStar> <Leon> Anyway, I will send the data to you. *Leon eyes Chad in the light of the map*
<DeathStar> *before tapping a button and shutting the program down and opening the door back up*
<Xanatos> <Xan> How do we have so many smart people and we have nothing like this? You all are lagging behind.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "mmm... yes. Drown her signature out with the large energy source that won't crush or incinerate you upon landing."
<ChadWinters`> Thank you. 6He glances at Xan. 1"I've been preoccupied with trying to mitigate unneccesary deaths in this war."
<DeathStar> <Empress> I will speak with the leaders of Geyze - but they have been so busy lately picking up the pieces
<ChadWinters`> <Shiva> There's no saying they won't go after the tree while here anyways, correct?
<DeathStar> <Empress> Only Selena and a few others have their act together
<Xanatos> 6* Xan gives a thumbs up to Chad
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> They won't risk destroying it, but they might want to take it over
<Xanatos> <Theron> I was under the impression that was one of their main targets. Yes to control, not to destroy.
<ChadWinters`> <Shiva> It's not a horrible idea to hide someone in plain sight like that.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> And the tree is massive
<Jackieness> <Noire> "mmmm... yes. Of course. But takign that treee is not so easy a task as sniping Kaori out in the open."
<DeathStar> *Lenneth pats Kaori's head*
<DeathStar> *Erevis seems in thought after seeing all the dots*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Credit for your thoughts?
<DeathStar> <Leon> Titus might arrive before the Dark Ones. Since his fleet is doing it's own thing. If I'm with the Theron and Warren at the Erusian border, you all will need to becareful when he does arrive
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Just surprised at how many people have powers now. It feels so different from when we first began
<Sara> * Kaori eyes Lenneth, looking weary of everything
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Kaori, ultimately it is your decision
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Do you want to stay here or go to the tree?
<ChadWinters`> Good or bad, Erevis. It was going to happen eventually. All we can do is try to save as many as we can.
<Sara> <Kaori> I will follow your judgment... I... know you're just trying to keep everyone safe...
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I understand, really."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Hm. *she nods to the Empress*
<Alicia> * Victoire hovers around the doorway Noire entered by, looking uncertain.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I would say it makes me feel like a unique butterfly...but even I have my own tricks now.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Final order of business, I want to replace Taiga Mizukaze - at least temporarily - as the engineer repairing the PAX.
<DeathStar> <Empress> I have a list of names that can replace her
<Xanatos> 6* Theron blinks slightly and tilts his head.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Is she unwell?
* ChadWinters` makes a slight reaction to something as they walk along.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "... are we sure Yggdrasil is safe?"
<DeathStar> <Empress> She has been getting more distracted lately. With her daughter in medical and not getting well, plus her own injuries, the PAX's repairs need to be done faster. *she brings up a list of names*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh, Leon, do you have any battle records or anything involving titus? Getting a one up on some of his favored tactics would be helpful.
<ChadWinters`> <Shiva> Why would the tree be safe? 6She eyes Victoire*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *places a hand on Theron's shoulder* "Internal affair, ambassador. The Ascendancy does not have an official comment on this."
<ChadWinters`> *Not be safe*
<DeathStar> *Erevis glances at Chad side-ways*
<DeathStar> <Leon> I will see if I can find anything for you
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Ah, it's probably only my own anxieties about the place."
<Xanatos> 6* Theron nods to Xeres.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hrrrrrm..." *seems a touch annoyed*
<ChadWinters`> Durran's got a point. Anything on how he fights would be helpful. *He seems to shift his focus back
<DeathStar> *The Empress seems to have the names of Kane up there, Chelsea, even Chad*
<DeathStar> <Empress> I will let the council decide on a suitable replacement. *she stands up* That is all for now
<ChadWinters`> <Shiva> Will we be able to submit names?
<DeathStar> <Empress> Of course
<Xanatos> <Xan> Thanks Leon. You're a cool dude.
<ChadWinters`> 6Shiva nods, picking up her datapad.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *leans over to Theron* "...we could offer Myria Arhnya."
<DeathStar> *Erevis arrives as things wrap up and Lenneth walks with Kaori* Remember that this is your life and your powers. Never be afraid to speak up and let us direct your life.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Oh, excelellent suggestion. 6* he nods and pulls up his datapad to make that suggestion.
<ChadWinters`> Well hopefully with the info he sends up, we'll be able to come up with a counter measure or something to help us interfere in their ability to scan.
<DeathStar> *The Empress nods to those returning* I will see about speaking to Selean and Ymir. *she moves off*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *stands up, stamping the floor with one foot* "Anmd that is that."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You seem angry, Noire
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Annoyed, really."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> About?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Do you want to talk about it?"
<Xanatos> 6* Xan starts drafting up a report of the devices the Templar have to detect supernatural folks.
* ChadWinters` glances at Noire as the Idlet floats back over to him. 1"I wonder what curveball will come at us next."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tosses her head to shakes out her hair* "Exactly." *points at Chad* "Exactly!"
<ChadWinters`> Well, Noire, they say diamonds are only forged under great pressure.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm a lump of coal, don't squeeze me.
<ChadWinters`> Didn't plan on it.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.5.1
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Selena sits in a makeshift "throne" in the academy, having been doing her work there for the past few months; Qui with her and Luci acting as the Legion's right hand*
<DeathStar> <Selena> We have mostly everyone back to normal, except reports say that Shinobu, despite cooperating, is still not showing herself.
<DeathStar> <Rain> She's had me return here to do my duties. *She shrugs*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan peaks over his datapad at them, standing off to the side.
<Xanatos> <Logan> She might need to see a therapist.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Should we care? If the Dark Lands are doing stuff properly?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "All the better to reassure everyone."
<DeathStar> *Selena looks over the school as the students go to their classes. Sylph leads Fae to the youth's school*
<Xanatos> <Logan> I would care if it were my friend, personally. But you do you.
<DeathStar> *Selena nods* Who knows Shinobu the best?
<DeathStar> <Rain> I do but I've been ordered here
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "If I may speak candidly, Rain... sending you to return your duties is the perfect cover for getting rid of you."
<Xanatos> <Logan> What happened to the demon twins? They were close weren't they?
<DeathStar> *Sabrina plays patty cakes with Sparkling*
<DeathStar> *Asarar enjoys a nice beer as they talk* Look, I guess my group can investigate this. It's all seem to do.
<DeathStar> *As they talk, Chelsea gets something in the mail*
<DeathStar> *Cypher tilting her head*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...yes, we till have you on retainer."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Well, the reason I ask, the PAX Empress asked us all to vote on something and Shinobu gave her blessing.
<DeathStar> <Selena> It's about putting someone on the tree to live on. Standard citizenship.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Just it feels off.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "If it feels off, then it probbaly is off."
<Xanatos> <Logan> We have many living on the tree?
<Seraphna> Luci> Everything is always off.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Like, there's no listed backgrounds or reasons for the girl. I thought we put them on the tree for reasons.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Hm. I think I last looked at the numbers and there's a few hundred on the tree.
<Xanatos> <Logan> That is pretty weird.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Both the lack of detail and the number of people already there.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Hmmm... who are they hiding?"
<DeathStar> <Selena> Yes, the idea is for them to make the tree more hospitable due to how strange it can be
<DeathStar> <Selena> And to explore it
<DeathStar> *she smiles* It's a weird tree. I loved exploring it
<DeathStar> *Qui gives her mark*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright if you're done talking about trees, lets go find Shinobu
<Xanatos> 6* Logan nods and pockets his datapad.
<DeathStar> *Asarar moves to pick up her supplies and grab Kira*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Good luck everyone.
<DeathStar> *Selena turns to Rain and Sasha*
<DeathStar> <Selena> Aunt Sasha
<Xanatos> 6* Logan nods and heads out.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Majesty."
<DeathStar> <Selena> I suppose it's time I also should head back to my Kingdom. Unless they find some horrible plot, there is little reason for me to be on the field. *she rises and gives a proper head bow to Sasha* Thank you for having me here these past weeks.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Of course."
<DeathStar> *Selena moves to summon a carriage to return to Hapian Castle*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.5.2
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Myria has been given the job to help repair the PAX as the head hancho*
<DeathStar> *Taiga being put out, leaving her and Cheryl to watch over Yuki*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *looks voer the engineering bay with arms crossed* "Hmmmmm!"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I feel danger
<DeathStar> *Leon and his forces have left, transferring the information to the PAX and what little there was on Titus*
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and tilts his head at Myria, then slowly looks at Ao.
<Seraphna> Angela> That’s just Myria… I think.
<DeathStar> <Ao> ... I guess we're working for her now
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Gonna need more beer.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *pulls out a navy whistle and blows it* "Chief Engineer on deck!"
<DeathStar> *Ao winces*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Now then, I need status reports on the repairs!"
<DeathStar> *The Empress has Kaori in the conference room, along with Lennet hand Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Ao> Uh, I use my hyperspace powers and cut hull off one ship and move it to this one
<Xanatos> <Drasek> ...I help.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Also I help Drasek search that ship for his project
<Jackieness> <Myria> "And what is that project?"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Oh right. Schematics to build more batteries for this big bird.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Since there should be some somewhere to make Progenitor batteries
<Jackieness> <Myria> "And how long does it take to disassemble a section of hull?"
<DeathStar> <Ao> Half a day, then another half to reattach to this one
<DeathStar> <Ao> Hull is thick
<DeathStar> <Ao> Sometimes more
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Gets tiring when you're the welder, eh luv?
<DeathStar> <Ao> Yep. And Taiga was a fussy one
<DeathStar> <Ao> She wanted it attached perfectly or something about airleaks
<Jackieness> <Myria> "CHIP, the the alternate-self of the creator of your crush is now speaking! Do we still have funcitoning hyperspace weapons this ship?!"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> We have enough battery power to use the weapons at this time.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> But it will drain them quickly
<DeathStar> <CHIP> If proper recharge time is not given
<Jackieness> <Myria> "I want to modulate the output of some of the weapons, ties them to computer control, and carve up more hull sections so Ao can have some vacaion!"
<DeathStar> *CHIP seems to be computer* I am not sure I can modulate the weapons to be that precise
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I'm more likely to just blast the hull
<DeathStar> <CHIP> You can ask Xanatos the power
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Then ping Xanatos. We will hand-modulate them if we need to."
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "It was a good idea, even if..." *she seems to stumble over her words for a moment* "well, it doesn't seem feasible."
<DeathStar> <Ao> It would be better if the PAX had smaller weapons on it. *She muses*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "You are right..."
<Xanatos> <Xan on Comm> Myria, you're talking about the ship cannons? They're more...explosive. You'd have to modify them to be continuous beams and then you'd need some wild ass emitter to condense them into a smaller, controllable focal point.
<DeathStar> <Ao> That is one of the PAX's faults, for a 5 mile big ass ship, if the enemy ever got too close, it'd be in trouble. But I do seem to recall at one point we had inner defensive weapons
<DeathStar> <Ao> Not saying they could do the job either
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Would the other PAX have them?"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Could check, luv.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Let me check. It might still have those wepaons
<DeathStar> *Ao moves off*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Brainstorming session led to some new ideas." *nod nods*
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Shame we don't have some sort of gun that could hook up to one of the batteries.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> ...also a shame that the batteries are rare little shites.
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> I'm surprised one hasn't been created yet. Their should be equipement for hull repairs available somewhere.
<DeathStar> *The Empress and Lenneth meanwhile have Kaori all packed up and ready to go while this is all going on*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Alright, if you need to talk to us or anyone else, *she hands Kaori a special comm*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Right. Drasek, we need to explore more of the Alter-Pax!"
<DeathStar> <Empress> You will be taken to a village where you will be given a home and set up there
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Sure thing, luv. Wanna go out there now?
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I believe the person who knows the otehr ship the best is Adeline
<Jackieness> <Myria> "I remember her! We escaped death together."
<DeathStar> <CHIP> She quizzed me on things and looked disgusted
<DeathStar> *CHIP sighs*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Why? Did dhe judge you on your secret stash of AI porn?"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> H-hH-mhph
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Don't worry, CHIP, I don't judge! You deserve to be happy too!"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> :D
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Uh oh. We have a situation in the hanger
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huh?"
<DeathStar> *CHIP brings up images of the Empress going to put Kaori in the shuttle when Cheryl is there and Taiga, already in said shuttle*
<DeathStar> *it looks like Cheryl has dragged Taiga into her schemes*
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> I suppose I could start sending spare Idlet's to help search the ship.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "How is this a situation?"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Oh personal stuff. 6* He shakes his head and motions Myria to follow him to find out more about the other ship from Adeline.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Cheryl is threatening to break the Empress' nose
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Oh, politics. Not stepping into the mine field!" *points at the Idlet* "Make it so, Mr, Id!"
<ChadWinters`> <Idlet> I imagine it has to do with getting permission to access the tree and thus that forbidden fruit.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan walks into the hanger.
* ChadWinters` walks in along side Xan, rubbing the back of his neck
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yo. Chip said this is a situation. What is the situation?
<DeathStar> *Adeline is one of the studies as they arrive, jotting notes down*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Hello Adeline!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The faker here is going to let us go along with Kaori. If she is going to banish her to the tree, she should have no problems sending us too. *Taiga rubs the back of her head with her good hand*
<DeathStar> <Empress> ...
<Jackieness> <Myria> "So we will assemble an exploratory missing with Adeline and Id."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hello, Jikuu. *she peers back at them all*
<ChadWinters`> It's not banishing.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Only Kaori got signed off on, Geyze and Kumen would be upset if they found out others were send as well.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Either we all go, or I'll force my way.
* ChadWinters` crosses his arms. 1"It is possible that they could be targets to though. Considering their experience with reality powers."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Oi. Adeline, Myria wants to go explore the other PAX. Since you know the most, mind to come along?
<ChadWinters`> And level of exposure and useage.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Is it worth causing issues with Geyze and Kumen for that?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I could. *she puts up what she was doing* It's a fascinating ship.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't want to hear a word from your mouth Winters. *she eyes Chad* You helped lead to this situation.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "We need to inventory what parts we have to work with."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Why are you being obsinant about this? Why are you demanding to go?
* ChadWinters` goes to open his mouth then shrugs, shifting his hands behind his back.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe I could have been in and out weeks ago. *she eyes Xanatos* Yuki isn't getting better; she might not GET better. Poisoned by hyperspace exposure, radiation, and overusage of her reality power. I just want to search the tree to see if this fruit existed. But *she points at Chad and the Empress* People like my own family have been blocking me from searching any leads that might help my granddaughter.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We don't know if the tree produces fruit. But...
<Xanatos> <Xan> Really? Why isn't Cheryl allowed to go?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We didn't know a reality tree existed before this either
<Xanatos> <Xan> Any of us would say fuck the rules and be gone already if it meant saving one of our children.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Lets say a fruit of life does exist. Eating it could be disasterous. It might be tied to the tree itself.
<DeathStar> <Empress> So I said no
<Xanatos> <Xan> That's their risk to take.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Can I ask a strange question?"
<DeathStar> *The Empress lets out a breath*
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm on officially on Cheryl's side.
<DeathStar> *Adeline gathers some equipment*
<DeathStar> <Empress> I suppose it would be problemetic if she is shot down going to the tree. Fine.
<DeathStar> *the Empress walks off, allowing her to take Kaori's ship*
* ChadWinters` eyes Xan for a moment then the Empress then Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hm? What is that?
<DeathStar> *Cheryl sits back down* THanks Xan
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Thank you
<Xanatos> <Xan> Good luck, if things get hairy and you need help give me a call. 6* He gives them both a thumb up and then smacks Chad's shoulder as he walks past to leave.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Are there any records of Dark Ones ever being on Yggdrasil?"
<ChadWinters`> Good luck you two. 6He notes to Cheryl and Taiga and turns to walk out with Xan.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Outside brief moments when our people went there
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I don't think so?
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Y'know something bout a dark one being there?
<DeathStar> *the shuttle takes off to take the group to the tree*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "If they've been there before, then it's likely not an issue."
<DeathStar> *The Empress for her part looks ... annoyed, but not angry*
<DeathStar> *Adeline tilts her head*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I know something about something being there, but it was probably just bad luck that it woke up at that time."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... okay?
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> Location: PALTX
<DeathStar> *Adeline leads them through the other PAX, who's lights flicker* So what did you want to see first?
<DeathStar> *Adeline has her book open with sketches*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Secondary weapons belt."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I'm still lookin fer them schematics, luv. 6* He points out after Myria.
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats there with about 5 idlet's around him. 1"I imagine Engineering for supplies.
<Alicia> * Victoire has joined the group, seemingly just to tag along with Jikuu
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Weapons? So boring compared to the secrets on this ship
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Like the fact the Erevis on this ship hid it away from EarthGov trying to steal it
<ChadWinters`> <Id> That could very well be because it is the PAX itself and any system would want it for themselves
<Alicia> <Victoire> "That seems like alternate universe politics."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Erevis and that EarthGov were on the outs? How'd it come to be abandoned?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> From what I can tell, she flew it to the Unknown Region areas and parked it there
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Out of their reach
<DeathStar> *Adeline reaches engineering first and powers up the computers*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Wait... therr is a mystery to solve?!"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Keep in mind we don't have a lot of power left with the batteries gone. So do your searching quick
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Mystery is more compelling thatn weapons now~"
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek tries to find what he's looking for, but he's slow with computers.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Plenty of mysteries. Like there is no CHIP AI in here but I'm pretty sure I heard his voice in the recordings when she made her last recordings; plus she let herself die in the captain's chair
<ChadWinters`> 6Id sends his idlet's out to go searching
<DeathStar> *Ao speaks on the intercomms, having come over earlier* Myria, I think I found what we were looking for
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Well, if we could find CHIP, that would make everything easy."
<DeathStar> *Drasek would find the computer is Progenitor language since CHIP is no longer there to translate - good thing Drasek is Progenitor*
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek lets out a whistle, not having seen this untranslated in a while.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yes. I been working my way through the ship coding and using my memory of the other PAX to navigate it
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "What did you find?" <Victoire> "What's it say?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It's also helping me learn Progenitor a bit
<Jackieness> <Myria> "On my way!" *marches to go meet Ao*
<DeathStar> <Ao on comms> The defensive weapon net.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Oh this is odd to read. 6* He starts looking for schematics, specifically in the engineering area.
<DeathStar> *Adeline leans over and points out areas that have no comparible places on their PAX*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I could not translate these
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Interesting indeed, Adeline.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> It's sort of a directory. Simple keyword searches. Chip usually translates for us.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and glances to what Adeline is pointing at.
<DeathStar> *they seem to be things in the engineering talking about schemetics for the core and another for the battery and one for weapons*
<DeathStar> *The Ao group soon arrives at a window near 1A but in the valley, where they find the weapons outside that are much smaller, and for defensive purposes only*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> All three would be very useful. I can download them to my sphere if you want.
<DeathStar> *to attack people that get in too close to the PAX that the big wepaons will no longer hit them*
<DeathStar> *mainly defending the bridge and 1B*
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Yeah mate, if you can get all 3 do it. But battery info takes number one.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Point defenses!"
<DeathStar> <Ao> I knew we had these at one point. Probably lost them when the PAX took that damage over Earth
<ChadWinters`> 6Id flicks and begins working on accessing and then downloading the Battery stuff first, then the Weapons and finishing up with the Core.
<DeathStar> *Adeline jots notes*
<DeathStar> *the lights flicker one more time*
<DeathStar> <Ao> So how are we going to get these to our ship?
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek tries to read the sections Adeline was pointing out since Id is taking control of the download part.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Some shuttles to tow them over after EVA to dismantle the mounts."
<DeathStar> *it seems the sections goes over how to build the batteries and talks about what is needed, rare crystals and where to find them (places in the first reality), and how to put them together. The core looks even more complicated and the weapons look the easiest oddly enough*
<DeathStar> *As they work, Jikuu hears a voice down the hallway, like the ship is haunted*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Excuse me a moment." *heads that way*
<DeathStar> *She sees what looks like a red haired ghost for a moment before it fades away*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> These plans are quite intriguing.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *somm* "Team probbaly doing cooler stuff than I am, what is your status in engineering"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Found some bits for you to look at, luv. Battery, weapon, and core related.
<Xanatos> (*Comm*
<Alicia> * Jikuu looks down at the floor a moment, somberly, then looks around a little before heading back, assuming nothing happens in the meantime
<DeathStar> *Adeline chatters on as they* Hm, oh just telling them theories. So, I believe that realities Erevis ws found in her chair dead, but how did she die? It seems unErevis like to kill herself. But I doubt an outside force did it or they would have taken her ship
<DeathStar> <Adeline> And you can hear voices if you stay INSIDE the ship long enough and not outside taking pieces of the hull
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It's possible she died from injuries.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "You found your battery schematics, Drasek! I'm so happy for you!"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> True, it is hrad to tell from a skeleton
<ChadWinters`> <Id> That or it was a one way trip and she slowly died from starvation.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "It's a sad way to go, either way..."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well, we should go while we can. Activity can pick up the longer we remain. The first time we were here with Taiga, a lot happened
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You can ask Jikuu and Victoire
<DeathStar> *Adeline
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Hmmm. It is very possible that her psychic imprint has been left behind.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> ...should we try to help ghost Revi?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I will leave my 5 idlet's behind to continue mapping and scanning.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Absolutely, but how?"
<DeathStar> *Adeline muses* I'll call Ren about it. She's into ghosts
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek nods his thanks to Myria being nice to him.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.5.4
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *alarms go off on the PAX, indicating something is up and Erevis hurries up the stairs to 1A, putting her robes on as she moves; the Empress standing there*
<DeathStar> <Empress> We have a situation. *Lenneth is already there, bringing up the galactic map*
* ChadWinters` steps in a moment later, eyeing the galatic map being brought up as he sits down
<Xanatos> 6* Xan steps up onto the bridge quickly.
<DeathStar> <Empress> It seems that McKeenen's fleet has been seen in our area of space as of a few hours of ago. Thankfully we had the teleporters up so we got the warning almost immediatly. It seems his fleet was seen near a planet with high supernatural activity. They -- were a planet with great abilities in the art using unnatural arts and we can no longer get a hold of him
<DeathStar> *them
<DeathStar> <Empress> They are also near the Maka.
* ChadWinters` rubs his face. 1"You try getting a hold of the Maka?
<DeathStar> *The Empress taps her arm* We have a choice now - will Titus go for the Maka or will he head deeper toward us like Leon assumed?
<DeathStar> <Empress> I gave a warning yes.
<ChadWinters`> The Maka are pretty powerful. I can't see them risk going after them right away.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Do they have good planetary defenses though?
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> A whole race of supernatural magical girls...
<DeathStar> *Erevis glances at Xanatos*
<ChadWinters`> That I'm not sure, other than their own girls. And one puncheda moon back in to orbit.
<Xanatos> <Xan> We're not ready for that fleet.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hm. So we should hope for the best?
<Xanatos> <Xan> But we can't let them run wild.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I would've assumed that he'd be coming towards us, but given everything that just happened, I can't be sure."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Apparanetly he's a psychopath who will take out anything along his way
<ChadWinters`> I'd consider this attack more of a test move. See how we respond.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Possible
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps in* "...this is that curveball that was eatting away at me."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> But if we lose the Makas, I'll never become one
<Seraphna> Jaime> There’s always the other problem.
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks at Noire*
<ChadWinters`> They probably picked someone they knew they could take out easily.
<Seraphna> Jaime> If he attacks and the Makas win… we lose our attack force.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Ho?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And if the Templars win, w elose the Maka, and one of our major advantages, hmmm?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> Do we have...ANY big weapons left?
<Seraphna> Jaime> The Maka send single soldiers out to fight entire planets.
<DeathStar> *The Empress thinks* The Dragoons
<Seraphna> Jaime> I’ve wondered what… a planet of them… could do.
<DeathStar> <Empress> We have the Dragoons
<DeathStar> <EmpresS> I been wanting to hold onto them
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well four just went to Yggdrasil.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... what if you bonded Dragoons to Maka?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> Could we get a combination of Dragoons and Maka to rip this dude's fleet to shreads? Because honestly that's one of our only bets to actually do this successfully.
<ChadWinters`> Forcing a bond is pointless.
<Xanatos> (shred)
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You can't just *make* them bond."
<DeathStar> *Adeline taps her face* Has Earth been making any new Dragoons lately? <Lenneth> Uh, no? *She sounds insulted*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I'm thinking out loud... can't I think out loud?"
<ChadWinters`> Beyond the NGD's? Doubtful. Not unless it's way off the books.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmm… kinda? And not really lately.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Natural ones don't count
<Seraphna> Jaime> Angelos made those Dragoon Weapons and VI those Dragoon Killers.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Still, I could call in what Dragoons we have and the Guardians
<DeathStar> <Empress> But once you play your hand you've played your hand
<ChadWinters`> It won't be as effective the second time.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We could always have a god wave their butts at this general and lead them here.
<ChadWinters`> And their will be losses.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Have any gods on speed dial?"
<DeathStar> *The Empress twitches in thought* ... No
<DeathStar> *Erevis tilts her head, blinking*
<ChadWinters`> I've been wondering about something. Do they consider Geyze and the Spirits there supernatural?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan eyes the map to see just how many of their forces are engaged right now and how many are on stand by.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Thought so." *sits down and lounges* "Unless you point them wherever Lorelei's team ended up, that is."
<Seraphna> Jaime> They better not. Though if they did they’re a direct threat to Yggdrasil.
<DeathStar> *Earth's forces and Kumen's are all fortified at Earth, and Xanatos forces are centered about to deal with the Tsivrisxh about in the Susien territory in a way to not leave too much room for them to punch toward Earth easily. This has taken place off to the side, but he could move some fleets to incept Titus but it would leave a hole in his forces*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't understand what Templars consider supernatural if they don't."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good question. Since the spirits come of that planet
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They will probably study a spirit to determine
<Xanatos> <Xan> Honestly we've not been in quite a tight spot as this. We'll lose ground elsewhere to deal with them. That's why we need some out of the box help.
<DeathStar> *Empress nods* I will see it done then
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah that’s what I mean. Unlike stuff from the Box the spirits occur naturally.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well, I'm obviously being extra salty since these templars would have me on their stab stab list."
<DeathStar> *Adeline points out* Leon did say Titus is a jackass. He might not care
<ChadWinters`> True but they also aren't part of this universe originally. Hard to say. One of the Spirit ships could be useful in drawing them around...6He taps his finger recalling the galaxy map that Leon showed and whether or not Geyze lit up like a xmas tree or not
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm. If he even thinks if harming my girls he’ll have a hole where his heart is.
<DeathStar> *Geyze would have lit up indeed, since it's unnatural to this universe being drawn from the mirror universe*
<ChadWinters`> He'll target it. The map Leon showed us had it on. So, maybe we can just send Jaime here to put a hole in his heart.
<DeathStar> *The Empress begins to make calls and soon she leans forward* I have sent the Guradias to aid the Maka just he swings by there.
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...I wish I had a black hole bomb.
<DeathStar> *suddenly, Xan hears hohohohohohoho*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And then what? Start a second front war with the templars?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... you did it now
<Xanatos> 6* Xan gets pales and shivers at the laugh.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'd like to avoid firing the first shot... but once he tries something..."
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....wha-what did I do?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Dad you know that summons Mom.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh shit that is what she....
<DeathStar> *Megumi slides in with her lollipop in her mouth and slams her hand down* Did I hear Xan call me?!
<ChadWinters`> Charlotte, he already fired the first shot.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, her lab project is to give the PAX blackhole weapons back
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'll go talk to her, because honestly we need them.
<Seraphna> Jaime> He missed your destructive mind Momma Meg.
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "Oh, point. He's already been taking down our allies... which means he's a traitor, and to be eliminated."
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Of course. *she reaches into her lab coat and fiddles around, pulling out a tiny gun*
<ChadWinters`> What's Red's fleet doing?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh I don't have to go to her. Hi Darlin, I need some really power weapons to take care of some dickheads.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Behold! *she hands it to Xanatos*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... oh I have a bad feeling about this.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan blinks and slowly takes it, looking it over carefully.
<DeathStar> *Megumi glares at Erevis* Hmph. Beloved never takes me serious
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And is he going to do the cliche thing and whine about the small size before considering that a microscopic singularity has the mass of a mountain?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "As long as it's big enough to be practically fired, it's big enough."
<Seraphna> **A Thena appears on Megumi flopped like a cat**
<Xanatos> <Xan> What does this do?
<ChadWinters`> If their not doing anything we can use them to help attack.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> This gun is the most powerful gun in the universe (warning it only has 1 in 4 chance of firing properly and might backfire). Otherwise it will shoot a blackhole at whatever you aim at!
<DeathStar> *she sits and pets Thena*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Please do not use this
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...okay wait. What size black hole? Like if I shot it at a ship...it would suck it up maybe?
<DeathStar> <Megumi> It would destroy Dias instantly
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Really?!"
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Really!
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh god now I have to hide it from others.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *starts to ojou lauh*
<Xanatos> <Xan> I just want to stop a templar ship....and their fleet by extension.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> It should do a fabulous job! .. if you have good luck
<Seraphna> Jaime> How comparable to Dias are Templar ships?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *facepalms* Never fire that
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *to Chad* "They're doing what they can, but maybe they have time."
<Xanatos> 6* Xan slowly puts that in his inside pocket, looking off to the side.
<Xanatos> (inside coat)
* ChadWinters` drums his finger. 1"Maybe I should see if that tree has fruit on it finally." 6He eyes Xan and the gun.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *to Megumi* "Taking down Dias is one thing, taking down an entire Templar ship another."
<DeathStar> *The Empress eyes Chad*
<DeathStar> *sharply*
<ChadWinters`> Metaphorical tree, Empress.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> It should take down plenty of ships. It generates a massive blackhole. If you fired in the middle of it, they cannot escape
<DeathStar> <Megumi> But it is so powerful, the chance of it backfiring and shooting a blckhole into you is the problem
<Jackieness> <Noire> "what if we trick Dias into firign it for us?"
<DeathStar> <Megumi> You could trick someone you hate into shooting it
<DeathStar> *Megumi points at Noire*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Momma used to use this in Mine Form. They wiped out enemy fleets in single deployments.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Yes!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, but not in gun form
<Xanatos> <Xan> Interesting. Convince someone to shoot it instead is a very cool idea.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Well, I had to do it in gun form since the PAX is not moving
<ChadWinters`> That or we just increase your luck.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> And no other ship can handle it
<Jackieness> <Noire> *waves her hand* "That's why I'm club leader."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *then streightens out her collar and smooths out her skirt* "And student council president!"
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena could send a Thena to do it…
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Are you lucky?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan blinks and looks at Thena and squints.
<Seraphna> Thena> Make doubles.
<Xanatos> <Xan> But isn't that...painful if they don't make it?
<Seraphna> **Thena nods**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> And if the dupe gets sucked in with the gun?
<ChadWinters`> Get her in point back and fire it.
<Seraphna> Thena> Might lose some power for an indeterminate amount of time.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Ah that's rough. Maybe a last resort. Maybe. But probaly not?
<DeathStar> *Megumi does calculations* What are dupes made out of?
<ChadWinters`> It's currently the best option
<Seraphna> Thena> Probably no trauma if more can’t remember death.
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena builds carbon clone around a more of her hyperspace.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Hm. Hyperspace and blackhole. Hm.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Hm. Do not let this one fire
<Seraphna> Jaime> …Oh yeahhhh.
<Xanatos> <Xan> What?
<DeathStar> <Megumi> *draws paper of one Thena firing, then more Thenas being sucked in*
<Seraphna> Jaime> That might take out the fleet and a fourth of the galaxy.
<Seraphna> Jaime> And all of Thena it seems
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...worth the sacrifice!"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "A fourth of the galaxy for one fleet?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> Chad, let's figure out a way for an idlet to fire it.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hyperspace augments what it touches, that’s adding a super galaxy into the core of a black hole.
<ChadWinters`> Wouldn't be hard.
<DeathStar> *Megumi draws something and holds up naked pictures of Erevis*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah let's work on that.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Idlets are surprisingly expendible."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *jerks*
<Seraphna> Jaime> You forgot the mole there, Momma.
<DeathStar> *Erevis> ... *tilts head at Jaime, then TK lifts her*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Excuse me
<Seraphna> **Jaime squeaks**
<ChadWinters`> You don't think it's painful for them? 6He glances at Charlotte before looking at Xan. 1"We still could use some luck on our side though.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You were paying that much attention?"
<DeathStar> *Jaime is never seen again*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "But fine... make a black hole torpedo that travels a distance then detonates."
<DeathStar> *Megumi studies Jikuu* You look familiar
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "But they survive, at least."
<DeathStar> *she adjusts glasses*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Do I?"
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Yes. A little like Beloved. And a little like someone I know
<Xanatos> <Xan> Keep me updated on the Maka and Dragoon. We can move fleet in to support them but we'll weaken a spot.
<DeathStar> <Empress> Of course. Hopefully seeing them together will make Titus hesitate
<DeathStar> *Megumi muses,trying to place that other person*
<ChadWinters`> They don't if they're destroyed along with any memories they've created since their last upload.
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena would tell but she gets spanked.
<DeathStar> *Megumi shakes her head and clings to Xanatos's arm, telling him about plans for more weapons.*
<DeathStar> <Empress> Also in other news, Myria tells me the defensive weapons will be back online in a few days
<DeathStar> <Empress> Anyone who wants to learn how to use them when they're finished Syiean will teach
<DeathStar> ---
<DeathStar> Epilogue 1:
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Asarar sits outside the Daemon Tower*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Anyone notice Shinobu has been keeping us waiting for days now?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So, should we keep waiting or look for a way inside?
<Xanatos> <Logan> I'm sick of waiting.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "You know my answer."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> That's what I like hearing. *Asarar muses*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If we could just use our old sneaking powers we could get in easily
<Seraphna> Luci > Why don’t we call in Thena or Jaime? They let themselves in all the time.
<DeathStar> *she eyes the only entrance* <Asarar> .,,I don't really know them as well as my team
<Seraphna> Luci> Sneaky time then.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Mmm-hmmm... old school."
<DeathStar> *Asarar nods* Alright, lets get ready to break this building
<Xanatos> I could throw some of you up to a higher window or ledge. People rope time?
<Xanatos> (Logan)
<DeathStar> *Asarar nods* Right. This Tower will be no challenge soon
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Epilogur 2:
<DeathStar> Location: Yggrasil
<DeathStar> *Cheryl, Taiga, Kaori, and apparently two rabbits or else Sera will cry have found themselves in a human village*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl checks her supplies along with Taiga*
<Seraphna> **Si inventories the snacks**
<Seraphna> Angela> I dub us Team Moms.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright, I doubt you want to join us Kaori. We'll be heading down the tree checking each branch, all the way to the roots for the fruit
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Will we even know what we're looking for? They grow stuff on this tree all the time
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> A special fruit is all we've been told
<Seraphna> Angela> I think it’s a know it when we see it thing.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl steps out and heads to the tree and peers down, clouds drifting by* Alright, lets start heading downward.
