<DeathStar> Alright is everyone ready?
<Seraphna> I r red
<ChadWinters`> Sure
<DeathStar> I'll probably take this slow just to remember where we left off and become I'm not at full capacity. As for Ida, she'll most likely be able to appear in the scene right away but Ariel can wait until she feels ready, or just watch

<DeathStar> Date: 19,966 5.12
<DeathStar> Location: Northern City
<DeathStar> 6* The heroes have been attempting to establish themselves among the city without getting caught and trying to undermine the influence of the King and the other Croza here, as well as getting the pulse of the populace. Meanwhile, examining the device of the spirit trapper they were given, they would find it is made of materials much like the ancient materials made creating the temples as well as ancient tech that is far beyond what seems to be available to replicate it, or at least a proper version; they could attempt to make a shoddy version, but would it hold up?
<DeathStar> 6* Also, the northern city seems to be preparing it's forces for an assault any day now as the temples in the sky are moving about and the ground forces are constantly on the move
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We can replicate the workings... but we don't have the materials to actually do so."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Perhaps a temporary solution could come in use during a tense moment.
<Seraphna> Talia> Maybe sparkly boys come back soon with more m?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Unless they've already lost on the other planets
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I'm thinking crystals."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I do believe that Lana, Simon and I can make something with what we have available, it just won't be perfect.
<Seraphna> Talia> Send happy beanms!
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Mmmm... Voltaire."
<Seraphna> Alita> Mmm…
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Yes!"
<DeathStar> *Gwen leans on his walking stick, peering at Ceilidh* So, what is the pulse of the people? You and Celes managed to raise a revolt yet?
<Seraphna> Alita> This may be why they corrupt were so… well, insane when we found them in the present. Bear that in mind.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I don't know if anything we can build will last that long. That's what we're more worried about
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "We're working on it. I don't think it'll be much longer, though."
<DeathStar> *Celes steps inside and lowers her hood, moving over to the others*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We could do it, but the variables include projected length of incarceration as well as the power of said spirit."
<Ariel> * Ida follows Celes in, having coincidently finished her patrol.
<DeathStar> <Celes> The streets are getting rougher. The guards and army here are clashing with the people, yet the people are not that innocent either. I fear some cannot be trusted
<Xanatos> 6* Simon glances up from drawing out schematics of a less good version of the spirit trap.
<Ariel> <Ida> "Chaos." The droid states simply.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I have noticed the pyramids increasing the distance on their patrols, it is only a matter of time before they do something.
<DeathStar> *Gwen has turned the clothing store into a makeshift war room with a table in the middle of the room for them and stools; clothing store dolls are turned to face them*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Oh, they must be setting up a staging zone then."
<Seraphna> Alita> More and more that need for a real leader shows itself.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh looks to Celes
<DeathStar> <Celes> Yes. The Croza want the spirits in the south and to eliminate the opposing forces. Aska and her people are preparing their last stand, or if we can set something up with the heroes here, come in and attack, but the Croza will detect a spirit teleport.
<Seraphna> **Talia plays with a doll**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Most likely. I do wonder what's holding them back though.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It's a shame we can't set up fake spirit teleports to confuse them.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Probably the strong spirits like Aska and Shade are giving them pause."
<DeathStar> *Celes muses* Yes, all of them in one spot
<DeathStar> <Celes> They'll probably bring in the Spirits from other worlds here to this world once they finish the Croza on other worlds
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Then we should make our move sooner than later.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Though... hasn't anyone wondered why they haven't found our hidey hole yet?"
<DeathStar> *Gwen hops down* True. They did catch Neekito
<Xanatos> <BIX> Save. Neekito. Soon?
<Seraphna> Talia> Mew…
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I was thinking they were distracted, but..."
<DeathStar> *Celes glances at Ida, wondering what all Ida can do, then muses* It would be risky to assault their castle. They have several temples floating overhead. We would need to trust that the people we've recruited would be enough. Even with Ida, we might need more spirits
<Jackieness> <Lana> "What if they know we're working on a trap design and waiting to raid us?!"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Than I would believe we have a traitor
<Seraphna> Alita> Did Neekito know that?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Possible. You also said the trap design is made from the temple stuff. If we could bring one down we'd have scrap to make more
<Ariel> <Ida> "Paranoia is unproductive."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> And that'd stop their more powerful spirits down the raod
<Xanatos> <Simon> That is...true, Gwen. Easier said than done, I suspect.
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... very
<Jackieness> <Lana> "So how do we bring one down?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> .. shoot it?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I could attempt to hack a temple again but it would make it harder to do so down the road I imagine.
<Xanatos> <BIX> Jump on. Punch. Punch. Punch. Win!
<DeathStar> *Celes takes a seat* Alright, I see this as we have a few options, let me see if I'm right as I lay them out
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I think we should make a more detailed plan than that, BIX."
<Ariel> <Ida> "Insufficient value of 'punch'."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ohhhh... what if we could adapt our quick-and-dirty spirit trap to depower the spirit machinery keeping the temples up?"
<Seraphna> Talia> BIX forgot Kick!
<Xanatos> 6* BIX gasps
<DeathStar> <Celes> We can continue to work forming a resistance until they launch an attack on us and work on these trap designs Lana made using these crystal gems. *she eyes the designs* Or we could try to use what we have and attack back for resources and to do what damage we can now. What does people want to do?
<Xanatos> <Bix> Bix. Punch. Sufficient!
<Seraphna> Talia> Talia Kick.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Wait and prepare or start guerilla warfare tactics.
<Ariel> <Ida> "Punch. Kick. Insufficient."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Yeah. *muses hard* I guess we should do something now before it's too late?
<Seraphna> Alita> Indeed.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I believe we should begin now. Either way we are going to get their attention. Better to slow them down now.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It does risk letting them know that we are here.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Admittedly, I'm kind of useless when it comes to actual guerilla combat that isn't, like, a video game... so I can help with equipment."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> But it would serve to slow them down and potentially give us access to a damaged ship
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ah, we should also find some more safehouses just in case."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Alright. I'll get in touch with Aska and see if I can call upon some spirit and get in touch with the other heroes. Ida has been patrolling with me and Ceilidh, so Ida can find you a safe location. The city is full of abandoned buildings now
<DeathStar> *Gwen lays a map of the city* Well, if we're going to do this, *He taps the center of the city* The castle that the temples hover over is a prime target. We can't reach the temples in the sky but they do sometimes dock with this castle's roof
<Jackieness> <Lana> "What do they do when they dock?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> That would be our attack point. They'll no doubt have a lot of security during those times
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Beats me; I'm guessing they either have the King go up there or lower themselves down there to the castle to give orders
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Or give supplies
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Supplies are the best scenario for us."
<Seraphna> Talia> Sneak aboard and use it to boom boom the other temples?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> That's my hope; or if failing that, blow that one up
<Seraphna> Talia> Ours will be the SS Talia.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We'll be outnumbered even if we get a temple!"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Well, if they blow us up, we still get scrap
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Yes, but I do not believe they will attack it with being directly above the castle.
<DeathStar> *Celes sighs, rubbing her red reyes*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "With supply crates, we cna smuggle party favors on board!"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Party favours?"
<DeathStar> <Celes> I'll have to really dig in favors from the resistance if you want explosives
<Jackieness> <Lana> "... ... ...Celes, you look like you need some sleep!"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> We should be able to destroy it without explosives I would like to believe.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Very well. I'll hold off calling in those favors then
<ChadWinters`> <Id> On top of that, do you believe that anything that would resemble an explosive here, would be enough to damage a Temple?
<DeathStar> <Celes> I'll sleep when this is all organized. *she shakes a head* We'll see. Alright, so we know the castle will be heavily guarded. And Neekito might be corrupted
<DeathStar> <Celes> So what are you going to prioritize? The temple or her?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... that's a rough choice..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> We don't know for certain. *he points out, lamely*
<Xanatos> <Simon> The idea was this device was going to be used to secure her so we wouldn't have to make such a choice.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We don't know too much..."
<Seraphna> Talia> Neeky if we finds her.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Xanatos> <Simon> If we encounter her before we have enough material to finish the device to contain her, we will have to find some other way.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> And if she stops us from taking over the Temple?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> True. We haven't seen her since the explosion. She might not even be alive
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Lets not jump to conclusions on anything yet
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Still.. cna try to make the crystal-based prototype in the meantime. Testing it though..."
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session519
<DeathStar> <Gwen> You'd need to go back to the cave to make that, though, right?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "If so, we should probably hurry with that."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Well, those crystals are already charged up. Not sure if they have enough structural integrity to handle more."
<DeathStar> *Celes steeples her hands together* Do we have any extra then?
<Jackieness> <Lana> *looks at Simon*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon notices things going quiet and looks up from writing again.
<Xanatos> <Simon> ....Yes....crystals? Yes. I have a few in my bag.
<Xanatos> <Simon> They were slightly smaller than what we needed in the cave.
<DeathStar> <Celes> Ah right, from that one world?
<Jackieness> <Lana> *claps her hands together* "Then we have a starting point."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods and moves to get to get the crystals, as well as his notes to add to Lana's designs.
<DeathStar> *Gwen tugs on Talia's cheeks*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Alright, lets go
<Jackieness> <Lana> "And time to get to work."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Yes, let us go Ceilidh - Ida, and talk to the other heroes and the resistance
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Right."
<Xanatos> 6* Bix jumps over to Gwen and poses.
<DeathStar> *Gwen puts on a cloak and hoodie* We're going to go find out the scheduling for the temple landing at the castle - if there is one
<Ariel> <Ida> "Understood. How much should they know?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Id, I could use some assistance."
<DeathStar> <Celes> The other heroes can be in the know - they are the avatars of the spirits. The resistance? I would try to keep as little as possible from them without being too deceitful. There could be a spy among them that would betray us for coin
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Understood.
<Seraphna> **Talia rides in Gwen’s cloak**
<Ariel> * Ida nods, and immediately heads out to report.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix puts on his super brown cloak that is so drab and boring and moves to follow Gwen.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *sets down one of the crystals on top of the crystal in her design for the new trap design*
<DeathStar> *Gwen steps out; the evening sky has lent the streets a dreay sight as the temples float over the city as more and more temples seem to appear every day, the Croza seemingly making their last stand here. But if one looks up, one can swear there seem to be more orbitting Kumen somehow. Celes splits off to report to her group of the heroes/resitance, allowing Ceilidh to find her group.
<DeathStar> *army troops and guards march the streets, eyeing the citizens and looking for trouble, sometimes even starting it for no reason or cause; it's clear tensions are growing higher. Ceilidh's sector seems to be near the middle with the castle so Gwen walks with her along with Bix while Ida is closer to the barracks and the soldiers, making it the rowdier part of town and the citizens even more in the shadows*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> This city is ready to explode
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Lets hope in a good way."
<Xanatos> <BIX> Scary. Want. Fight.
<DeathStar> *Gwen takes a seat in the shadows facing the castle on a barrel, pulling out fishnips of sorts, feeding his pocket; across the way is a empty traven where the resistance is meeting for Ceilidh* Lets hope, but either way this won't end well
<DeathStar> *Gwen leans back* Here comes the boring part, finding out if there is a pattern to their landing
<Xanatos> 6* BIX blinks a few times and then goes eerily still as his eyes lock onto the ships, watching them land.
<Seraphna> **Talia noms fishnips **
<DeathStar> Date: 19,966 5.15
<DeathStar> Location: Northern City
<DeathStar> *With the make-shift, rather well put together trap that can trap a spirit for a time, the arrival time of the temple ship being today, and the resistance being behind them, Celes stands before them*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Alright, the other 5 heroes are leading the resistance for us and will provide a distraction while we get into the castle itself. Giving us time to do what we need to do
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I bet Autumn loves that
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Most likely not.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Running distraction seems to be Autumn's thing."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...am I good, Id, or what?" *spoken as she doublechecks the trap*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "To say I'm grateful would be an understatement."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> We still don't know how long it will last, but yes, you managed to build something in a considerable short amount of time with a fraction of the materials we should be using
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That's impressive skill, yes."
<DeathStar> *Gwen pats Lana's head*
<Seraphna> Alita> Well we shall have to hope for the best.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I am proud of you
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I got praise~"
<DeathStar> <Celes> The other spirits will join in if Simon calls in Chronos
<DeathStar> <Celes> She will judge the situation accordingly
<DeathStar> <Celes> Everyone ready? *she glances at each of them, then points at another location* This is the spot Ida picked if we need to retreat
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ready as I'll ever be."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods and BIX fist punches the air.
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats there
<Jackieness> <Lana> *picks up the trap*
<DeathStar> *Celes leads the way, and immediatly something is different; the streets are chaos as people are running around with their weapons and attacking the guards, drawing their aggro and causing commotion. So far the temples haven't reacted by firing down on the city or the army hasn't reacted yet*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> It's begun. *Sophia can be seen leading some of the resistance off to the side, using wind power to blow guards into the air*
<Xanatos> 6* BIX outlines immediately shifts to red as he looks around quickly.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Quickly now, to the castle.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Let us not waste this opportunity
<Seraphna> **Alita nods moving along, staff at the ready with her book at her hip**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *moves along as well*
<DeathStar> *Celes walks past the chaos, avoiding the fighting, following the path and the come across the castle, not so much a castle but a government building rechestined a castle, and it still bears the massive damage done to it by Neekito previously taking out Mal'oy. Nearly half of the building is missing, leaving only part of the roof still there for the temple ships, and it's clear they've put more knights around the entrance to compensate*
<Alicia> * Ceilidh hurries along with the group
<DeathStar> <Celes> Seeing it up this close, Neekito really did go all out
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Considering the power she used, I'm surprised this is all the damage she did.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Maybe they had some sort of defense barriers that limited the damage."
<DeathStar> <Celes> She is a mimic spirit, maybe she couldn't do more
<ChadWinters`> <Id> That would be the most likely answer.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Seems plenty damaging to me, at any rate. How do we enter, Gwen?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Perhaps Alita could use her abilities to draw them away.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Well there's the front door with all those Knights. And there's a side door for the servants that will be guarded. I was hoping the resistance would show
<Seraphna> Alita> Most of mine involve explosions.
<DeathStar> *alarms are heard throughout the city, signalling to the knights to aid the city guard*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "The chaos in th city has not reached the point where they need to dispatch the castle guards as reinforcements yet."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I was under the impression you could manipulate people with your pheromones
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...and there we go."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Autumn, thanks again."
<Seraphna> Alita> Not a whole company. But there they go.
<DeathStar> *the 13 Knights don't seem to be moving right now, perhaps under serious orders to protect their position.*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...check the servant entrance?"
<DeathStar> *Gwen crosses his arms* Yeah lets go
<Xanatos> <Simon> Indeed.
<Seraphna> **Alita muses and nods** Otherwise I will have to turn them to slag.
<Xanatos> 6* BIX is tense, ready to spring forward towards the group of guards.
<DeathStar> *he leads them around the side carefully, where they find less guards - just 6. They seem twitchy, eyeing and hassling the servants*
<Seraphna> Alita> Now that I can work with.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> The less we have to fight the better, so work your magic.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...they seem twitchy."
<Seraphna> **Alita steps out in her cloak and approaches the guards, building up pheramones within the cloth so as she pulls it open, walking hypnotically, it invisibly plains around her**
<Seraphna> *plooms
<Xanatos> 6* Simon considers his abilities, but pauses for Alita to do her thing.
<DeathStar> *Alita manages to hit 3 of them and Gwen dashes in as the other 3 begin to fumble for their weapons, whapping one in the head*
<Seraphna> **Talua leaps out of his cloak and whaps another
<Jackieness> <Lana> *brings up her console and weaves a spell to try to slomo the guards*
<DeathStar> *the two go down face first as the last finally gets his weapon out, slowed down, and Gwen takes him down thanks t it*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... there we go. *sheathes his weapon*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix leaps int o prove his punch is strong but pauses and gives the others a thumbs up.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Tie them up and gag them.
<Seraphna> **Alita smiles at the three under her** You boys mind showing me the way in~?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "don't worry, BIX. Save your punch for the final boss."
<Xanatos> 6* BIX begins to tie up and gag the downed soldiery types
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Right, we'll all have to do our best there."
<DeathStar> *the Knights unlock the servant entrance and walk them inside*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Alright, let us becareful now. *as they enter, they find themselves in a place where the servants put their clothes up and exchange it for their uniforms and work outfits*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> How dreary.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Agreed.
<DeathStar> *the Knights continue on unless stopped*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Umm... follow those guys?"
<Alicia> * Ceilidh follows
<Seraphna> Alita> No point in denying an armed escort from these handsome men. **continues the seduction**
<DeathStar> *Celes hurries onward as they begin to enter the kitchens other areas the servants are usually at behind the scenes; the servants stare at them all oddlyh*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... *coughs and hides behind Ida, since her has no Liana*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix waves as they pass.
<DeathStar> *he
<DeathStar> *they soon take them out into the main area, where stairs seem to lead up to the second floor and begin to walk up it*
<DeathStar> <Celes> Seems easy so far....
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ummm... would Neekito be up this way?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> If they converted her to their side, possibly.
<Seraphna> Alita> Oh boys, are they keeping one of those naughty spirits here?
<Xanatos> <BIX>Oh boys~
<DeathStar> *The Knights blink, as if not understanding the questions*
<Seraphna> Alita> The on that attacked the castle.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Alita... I know they are head over heels... but some tact, kay?"
<DeathStar> <Knight> The spirit that attacked ... <Knight 2> Is being interrogated. <Knight 3> By the Croza
<Seraphna> **Alita nods** Up in the temple I suppose?
<DeathStar> *they simply shrug. At that moment the city shakes*
<Xanatos> <Simon> Hm.
<DeathStar> *Celes moves up to the second story window* I think a temple fired at the city
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh... umm... uhhh... where are they interrogaitng her?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Then we need to move faster
<Seraphna> Alita> Mmm, well we should move to put a stop to that.
<DeathStar> *the Knights don't seem to know, indicating up*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...up..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Well then lets go up. ... do we have to bring those Knighs along?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Maybe they should just go back and guard the door?"
<Seraphna> Alita> Why don't you boys go back to guarding the servants door.
<DeathStar> *they wander off*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That's right."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> How long will that effect last on them?
<DeathStar> *standing at the top of the staircase to the second floor, there is a major door on the left side and on the right side*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> So, which door do we feel lucky on?
<Xanatos> 6* BIX moves to the left side and slides into a defensive stance.
<Seraphna> Alita> Well it was designed to let me feed, so a full night unless someone snaps them out of it... sometimes I've gotten stalkers as a side effect so... not sure.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Perhaps we should've asked them for directions
<DeathStar> *Gwen slides up to join BIX and readies himself*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Ready?
<Xanatos> 6* BIX nods and moves to oppen the door.
<Ariel> * Ida holds an arm ready for potential violence.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I... could try pinging to see what might be on the other side..."
<DeathStar> *the door opens and they find themselves in a conference room with papers and maps and where the King's chair is at for his meetings. Two Knights standing guard jerk to attention and pull their weapons*
<Xanatos> 6* BIX blinks and leaps to punch!
<Seraphna> **Talia leaps out of the cloak again, suddenly going girl and slashing at the other**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It would seem we have chosen poorly.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I don't know... maybe there is an entire battalion behind the other one."
<Alicia> * Ceilidh launches a Blackwhip spell at Talia's knight, attempting to tie them up
<DeathStar> *the one Knight flies back into the wall while the other flails while being slashed, then curses as he's tied up. A moment or two later, a hidden wall opens up and two more Knights come out, trying to surprise attack them as Gwen parries*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Urk!?
<Seraphna> **Alita sends a fireball at one of them**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Odd that they were be just waiting there.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon slides towards one with an elbow toward the gut then a chop toward the back of the neck.
<ChadWinters`> *would be*
<Xanatos> 6* BIX blinks and and moves to look in the secret room.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Of coruse, that means there could be more hidden doors in this room."
<Seraphna> **Talia leaps over and slashes at Gwen's attacker**
<DeathStar> *the two Knights are promptly defeated*
<Ariel> <Ida> "Incorrect door."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Thank you
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Check he maps and papers. Maybe there might be battleplans or something."
<Seraphna> Alita> Perhaps it was the correct one. What's in that next room?
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods and moves to glance at the papers.
<DeathStar> *the secret room seem to be a place for the King to hide in, but also has stairs*
<DeathStar> *going up*
<Xanatos> 6* BIX pokes his head out.
<ChadWinters`> 6Id moves over to them, quickly scanning what he can for later use
<Xanatos> <BIX> Stairs. Up.
<Seraphna> Alita> There we go.
<Seraphna> Alita> No doubt it will take us to the temple.
<Xanatos> 6* BIX turns and begins moving up them.
<DeathStar> *the papers seem to be the battle plans for attacking the south, as well as how many forces they have here and at Kumen - they could decimate the south from the air easily. But tht would mean killing the spirits and wiping the city out*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Did you scan all that, Id?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Yes. And it does not bode well. They are actively holding back for fear of destroying the spirits.
<DeathStar> *Celes moves up the stairs after everyone and they reach a locked "door" wall. Gwen stops*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "So we should not summon the spirits here because they are the only thing wrding off an orbital bombardment!"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Yes.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I will have lady Chronos inform the others.
<DeathStar> *Gwen pushes on the wall*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> How do we unlock this?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "And tell them the battle plans while you're at it!"
<Seraphna> **Talia looks around for something to trigger the door opening**
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats up to be behind Gwen. He scans the door looking for anything out of place or any spirit based triggers
<DeathStar> *there is a trigger on the bottom right *
<ChadWinters`> 6Id creates a Spirit hand and points to it
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I believe this should open it
<Seraphna> **Talia uses her non-spirit hand to press it**
<DeathStar> *The door begins to shake and rumble*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon steps to the side and calls Chronos to tell her the enemy battle plans and the risk that the city will be under if the spirits leave, then before his time limit is reach he activates his rewind skill to revert back 15 seconds as if he didn't call on Chronos so it doesn't alert the croza but should hopefully get the message across to her the time spirit. Maybe!
<DeathStar> *then opens*
<Xanatos> 6* BIX poses and leaps out, looking left and right for enemy types.
<DeathStar> *Bix begin to fall!*
<DeathStar> *but Gwen holds out his hand*
<DeathStar> *they find themselves over a gaping void with pieces of the structure here and there remaining*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh... where did the hallways go?"
<Seraphna> **Alita blinks, peering out** This... much be where Neekito killed Mal'oy.
<DeathStar> *across the way, it looks like they put down plywood and other things to "walk" on to the Temple that is floating just a ways away in the distance*
<DeathStar> *to the structure that is still complete*
<DeathStar> <Celes> .. we are quite high...
<ChadWinters`> 6Id flies a bit past Bix/Alita and looks around. 1"I suggest not falling. You will most likely die from the impacts, or wish you had.
<Seraphna> **Talia hums and walks out onto the planking without a care in teh world, because cat**
<Xanatos> 6* BIX dangles
<DeathStar> *Gwen gets into a good position with his legs and Celes wraps her arms around Gwen's waist to help pull Bix up*
<Seraphna> **Alita follows carefully, because wings if she falls, but letting her familiar's senses guide her along**
<Xanatos> 6* Bix smiles at them both as he is able to grab on and hold himself up after their help.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon carefully tries to advance towards the temple.
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats along side Simon, creating a spiritual handle off it's shell to act as a stabilizer for him to hold on to
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Eeeeee..." *starts to cross*
<Seraphna> **Talia paws along, Alita counting on her to move along too**
<DeathStar> *As they reach the more stable areas, the find the temple has a landing platform extended and Knights guarding it for the Croza. There seem to be a small squad of 7 there right now*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon kneels and squints, then prepares some good ol fashion ice magic.
<Xanatos> 6* BIX helps Celes and Gwen get to the more stable areas.
<Seraphna> Talia> *whispers* Talia can throw them off.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Can you freeze the ground around them and cause them to fall off?
<Seraphna> Talia> WAs going to summon horde of kitties to overwhelm them.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon pauses and then nods to Talia.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Please.
<Ariel> <Ida> "Falling may cause screaming."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That actually sounds like a good plan."
<DeathStar> <Celes> Indeed
<Seraphna> **Talia nods and holds her sword up, then uses the Doom of Meowicles on the guards, which summons a horde of (80 damage worth) of cats that stun them with cuteness and cover them in tiny scratches.
<DeathStar> *The Knights, having never seen cats at this point in time in the Geyze timeline, are horrorfied and scream at the devils at hell and flail as they attack their armor and themselves, trying to bash them and get them off their faces and reel as they are all decimated*
<DeathStar> *of hell*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...did that... really just happen?"
<DeathStar> *the cat spirit in Talia grows stronger*
<Seraphna> **Talia nods** All shall fall before the Meowicles Armies.
<DeathStar> <Celes> .... *just stares*
<Ariel> <Ida> "..."
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...fascinating. 6* He stands and moves to enter the ship.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Let us continue on.
<DeathStar> *oh, and due to the commotion, the Temple Ship seems to begin doing something*
<Seraphna> **Alita pats her familiar and moves to follow**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ummm... temple is twitching!"
<Seraphna> Talia> We should hurry.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *moves over to try to board*
<DeathStar> *it rises up, the platform leaving the ground by a few inches*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Perhaps that was not the correct course of action.
<Xanatos> 6* BIX claps for Talia then jerks and runs to get on the ship.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh hurries onto the temple
<Seraphna> **Talia srugs and ryuns, headfing to leap up, Alita hopping up since she was already moving**
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats up
<DeathStar> *Celes hurries up now, panting. Gwen leaps and offers a hand to those with slower speed*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *tries to climb on, wheezing due to her poor constitution*
<Ariel> * Ida moves towards the ramp, and prepares to offer anyone who needs one a boost up.
<Seraphna> *Talia crawls up Gwen, Alita peering up for where the platform goes**
<DeathStar> *Celes takes Ida's hand and pulls herself up, taking deep breathes as the platform closes and Gwen gets Lana inside at the last second*
<Seraphna> **Alita peers around, staff readied**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...n...now... need to comandeer...ship..."
<DeathStar> *unlike the "Good" Croza, this ship's design seems more militaristic almost, even though the layout is the same; the lighting is darker colored and there's a low humming that seems to make it feel like it's been repurposed a bit, or at least..tinkered*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon forms his spear and begins to advance forward.
<DeathStar> *Celes stands up and leans against the wall and looks around, the path going forward into a +. If it's anything like the ship they were on, the bridge is at the top, but the rooms and stuff are on this floor, with the science and others on the floor above them*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id creates a spiritual map of what he created from the good one. 1"I believe we are here. If this follows the same design, this is the route we need to get to to take over.
<DeathStar> *As Id does displays his map, it oddly begins to distort and gives a different map*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I will adjust the layout map as we progress for changes and possible differences
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...are there any less obvious paths that would... be less dangerous?"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Did they just modify the map or the territory?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Do we have the time to do such a thing Lana? The longer we take the more people die.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon....looks for materials for them to use on their spirit trap.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...your map just... glitched."
<DeathStar> *the materials are right there in the walls, but there might be some in the second floor if it's like the other ship. Maybe*
<Xanatos> <BIX> Ships similar. Go up.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon hmms and then moves to ascend to the second floor.
<Seraphna> Alita> We may need to rely on our memories of the standard layout if they can interfere with Id.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Interesting.
<DeathStar> *As they go upward, they so far encounter no one - oddly. Infact, this floor does not have any rooms for the Croza. As they reach the stairs, there's a barrier blocking them*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Lana, are we sure that we removed that AI?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Id, might be a good idea to go full ICE."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Odd. I don't remember a barrier such as this.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Same
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Now is not the ideal time for that.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ah, that AI? If your creator weren't so paranoid, I could have gone deeper. There's still a chance it rootkitted itself."
<DeathStar> <Celes> I think they plan to just trap us here
<DeathStar> *she touches the barrier and receives a harsh zap*
<DeathStar> *flinching backwards*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I believe it was less paranoia and more caution.
<Xanatos> 6* BIX squints at the barrier and looks around for a potentially weaker spot he could bust through with punches.
<ChadWinters`> 6Id attempts to scan the barrier to see what it's using for pwoer and if he can track a source
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...whatever. Now we need to work around this mess. Maybe some of its code could be used to trigger an identify friend response in this security system.""
<Seraphna> **Alita sits and closes her eyes, feeling out for Neekito's spirit energy**
<DeathStar> *the wall, being made of the ancient materials, will be hard to punch through; oddly only the barrier might be the weak point but it's the barrier that's keeping one in. It seems to be made of a type of proto-spirit energy; as for Id, his scanning seems a bit glitched but the power source seems to be coming from two floors up but that's all he gets*
<DeathStar> *Alita does detect a weak, fading Neekito on the third floor*
<Seraphna> **Alita muses** She's here, third floor, but starting to fade.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It's comprised of a proto spirit energy....If I'm going to take my scans at face value, it's sources is two floors up.
<DeathStar> <Celes> You think we can destroy the barrier with a direct hit?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Can you use your spirit energy siphon to trie to disrupt the barrier?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I could try to absorb it.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> But the best I could do, is weaken it slightly.
<DeathStar> <Celes> I could also try my light shield for us to cross through it
<DeathStar> <Celes> But it might fail
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I could try to... ohhh..."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Trying to adjust absorbtion nodes. Try to what?
<Alicia> * Ceilidh uses her hammer to attempt to make a large tube in the middle.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "What?"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "This probably won't work, but it's worth trying! I don't know if I can put anything in the way though!"
<DeathStar> *the creation ability of the heroic weapon would allow some small creations, so go ahead*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I cna try to use my barrier to make a tunnel through this barrier, if you cna give me an opening."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Calibrating. 6Id creates a spirit barrier around itself which begins to shift slightly.
<DeathStar> *the tube does appear in the middle, but it's only partially successful*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "A tube! There you go... if it helps."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Huh, better than nothing
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I will begin attempting to siphon. 6Id moves closer and begins trying to absorb some of the proto-spirit energy
<DeathStar> *at that moment, the virus inside Id begins to attack, attempting it's full hostile take over now that's inside a Croza ship*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *then gets to work trying to set up her honeycomb barrier to try to force the gap wider*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix poises and prepares to dive throught he tube.
<DeathStar> *no warning OG just like the virus gives no warning*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Warning...6Id's colors turn reddish as it begins to fight back.
<DeathStar> Up, Left, Right, Down Right Left, Down Right, Left, Right
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Id's down."
<ChadWinters`> drlulrulrl
<DeathStar> *the virus retreats sends out a command to the ship then seemingly deletes itself*
<DeathStar> *the barrier dropping itself*
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... what just happened?
<Xanatos> 6* BIX blinkes, still poised, then stands upright and tilts his head.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...OK... that's done... its ok... we're ok..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... are we?
<ChadWinters`> 6Id's colors return to normal. 1"The Croza AI that invaded my system decided to make it's move. I have successfully stopped it, but I do believe it send out a message so we should now hurry.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I think we beat the barrier... and Id fought off the virus. Hopefully."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Can you still move unde ryoru own power?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Yes.
<Xanatos> <Simon> As of course. AI.... 6* He makes a face at that and continues upward.
<Seraphna> **Alita muses and begins to move** Neekito is low on time.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "LEt's go." *heads to the stairs* "...stairs..."
<Alicia> * Ceilidh nods. "We'll have to hurry, but we're okay."
<DeathStar> *as they move upward, there are sounds of the Croza moving about, but none approaching them or engaging; they soon reach the third floor*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id moves to land in Lana's hands. 1"I will check my systems to see what message it sent out, please watch over me until I am done.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "OK. I got you." *heads up*
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... Does anyone feel like this is going to end badly?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "you mean a cliche trap?"
<Xanatos> 6* BIX starts looking for Neekito
<Xanatos> 6* Simon carefully watching for attacking Croza.
<DeathStar> *Bix indeed finds Neekito in a room; it seems she's noticed her room no longer with a barrier and is straining to drag herself through a doorway, even as she is fading away*
<Seraphna> **Alita holds out a hand and creates a Spirit Stabilizing Field for her**
<Xanatos> 6* BIX blinks and kneels to lift her up, bringing her back toward the others so they can heal her.
<DeathStar> *though she has no sign of injury, she looks out of it, devices strapped to her head*
<Seraphna> Alita> She needs spirit energy... and if we can get those things off her.
<DeathStar> <Neekito> Hiss. *she rolls her head back*
<Ariel> <Ida> "Primary objective located."
<Seraphna> Talia> Mew!
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Id, cna you do a spirit transfusion?"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Well that's one piece of good news.
<Seraphna> **Talia paws at Neekito using the ancient language of Meowicles**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon checks the devices on Neekito's head, trying to figure out what they may be doing.
<Alicia> * Ceilidh does similar.
<ChadWinters`> 6There's a pause. 1"I have no finished deciphering the message but I can start yes." 6Id lifts out of Lana's care and moves over to Neekito and begins transfusing her with Spiritual energy.
<DeathStar> *Neekito mumbles something, more gruttal noises, like she's lost the ability to talk properly; the devices seem to be blinking with lights and occassionally she jerks and her eyes roll oddly. It looks like it seems to be accessing her mind somehow, forcefully, probably trying to extract information*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon tries to determine if he can remove the device once he figures out it might be doing something to the brain.
<DeathStar> *it appears to be safe.*
<Seraphna> ** Alita uses healing magic to reduce her pain and restore her energy as well**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon removes it, trying to preserve the device and keep Neekito safe. But her safety is the more important part.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... are you alright?"
<Seraphna> Alita> If you need to, hex the machines. **she checks over Neekito**
<DeathStar> *with Simon's ability he is able to take it off and the device shuts off for now*
<DeathStar> *Neekito seems to be a little more clear with Id's help*
<Seraphna> Alita> Alright, we can either take the ship now or escape.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Alright, all we need to do now is get this ship to the ground so we can get the scrap metal for the traps
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It maybe best to try and take the ship or atleast damage it.
<Seraphna> Talia> To the Captain's Control Seat thing! Also known as Talia's mobile throne!
<DeathStar> <Celes> One more floor left. *she heads for the stairs*
<Seraphna> **Alita heads for the stairs too**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Just be careful... everything about this feels wrong."
<ChadWinters`> 6Id stays by Neekito, continuing to feed her
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It'd be nice if it was that easy."
<DeathStar> *As they step onto the bridge, they find a single Croza metalic angel being at the controls; and behind them is deep space, the ship is between Kumen and Geyze, near the spirit world*
<Xanatos> 6* BIX tilts his head.
<DeathStar> *all around Kumen they can see the other ships, the same for Geyze*
<Xanatos> <BIX> Space. Final. Frontier.
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...my word. 6* He mumbles to himself as he gets an idea of how many ships the croza have.
<Seraphna> **Alita muses, then holds up a hand chaneling some magic**
<Ariel> <Ida> "...noting distinct tactical deficiency."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> We will need to take him out if we want to commandeer this ship
<DeathStar> *the Croza seems to come to life as they arrive, or perhaps the magic did it* You arrive. The strangers from this period.
<Seraphna> Talia> They're piling up... Croza losing the war?
<Seraphna> Alita> **frowns** This period?
<DeathStar> <Croza Command> Correct. Each world we win, we bring our ships to these world. *it turns, speaking in it's metallic voice*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *whisper* "And another step closer to entropy..."
<DeathStar> <Croza Commander> You are different - made alliance with our brethren. Do too much. Know too much. From different place. Place. Time. No matter. Stop you, fix.
<DeathStar> *a long finger taps a few keys on the console*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id attempts to see if it can access the ship remotely like it did in the past.
<DeathStar> *It seems he can not*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon forms his spear and moves forward to stab the Croza.
<DeathStar> *Simon pierces the Croza*
<Xanatos> <Simon> I am sorry. Truly.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I cannot access the ship remotely anymore. I would need to do it directly.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Do you really think this will fix anything?"
<Seraphna> Alita> **lets out a breath and shifts towards the controls, pulling Id along**
<DeathStar> <Croza Command> Sorry? It is you who lost. Remember, this is a shell I am controlling.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *adjusts her glasses* "Well... that was direct."
<Seraphna> Alita> He intends the shit to destroy us.
<Seraphna> *ship
<Seraphna> Alita> Id, overwide whatever he just did.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon attempts to freeze the shell.
<DeathStar> *the suit freezes*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id looks to see if he can find a way to directly access the ship
<DeathStar> *Gwen and Celes run over as the Command Ship begins to start moving*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *moves over to try to use her Croza edutcation to puzzle things out*
<Xanatos> <Simon> We must get back to the capital...or at least out of space such as we are.
<DeathStar> *it looks like the ship was locked out*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> *moves to help... as much as she can*
<DeathStar> *and put on course for a planet*
<Xanatos> (The city not the capital, wherever we came from)
<DeathStar> <Celes> Why are we moving?
<Seraphna> Alita> We need to stop this ship from going wherever he sent it. Either it's a crash course or into their hands.
<Seraphna> Alita> He's removing us from the equation.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Most likely to them.
<DeathStar> *as Alita says that, the ship picks up even more speed*
<Xanatos> <BIX> ....tch. TCH.
<DeathStar> *with warnings in Ancient*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> WHAT planet are we headed for?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I will need to access a console directly but I am not finding any way to do so.
<Ariel> <Ida> "Approach vector terminal."
<Seraphna> Alita> Crash course then. Hurry.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *brings up her console and takes a deep breath as she attempts to hack the ship's systems*
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...I will go gather the material we need now, in case we need to do an emergency spirit jump.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Alita, open up the front of that console for me.
<DeathStar> *Id would find that the Croza likely knew of Id and prepared ways to block against it*
<Seraphna> **Alita does so, using a searing spell to cut it open if needed**
<Xanatos> 6* Simon grabs BIX to help him gather stuff, not because they'r eboth controller by the same person.
<DeathStar> *as it keeps going, the spirit planet begins to grow larger*
<Seraphna> Alita> ...We need to stop it.
<ChadWinters`> 6Id, if Alita succeeds, floats over to the opening and begins scanning any cables in it, looking for a way to directly access it
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I'm in!" *tries to take control of the helm*
<DeathStar> *DS fails at a roll with Id*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I will refrain from helping you unless you personally need it. They seem to have been prepared for me.
<DeathStar> *Lana manages to get the helm but it seems they cut off all power to it outside forcing it in this one direction, almost like putting a crowbar in the wheel*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Anything I can do?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "They decoupled the helm from ship systems." *tries to find a bypass to engineering*
<Seraphna> Alita> We need to slow the ship and reverse thrust somehow. Neekito could copy that gravity Spirit, but she's low on energy... we'll need something else.
<DeathStar> *by now they're in the atmosphere; also Id manages to find some wires*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> ....Pathway confirmed. 6Id floats in close, creating spiritual tools to access the wire itself.
<DeathStar> *the ship begins to shake and rattle; if not for the material of the ship, pieces would be falling off*
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... I do not like this
<DeathStar> *Gwen paces around like a mad man*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...trying to get into the drive system..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Should we wake her up anyway?
<DeathStar> *Lana gets partial access*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon steps back in with BIX having gotten...SOME? of the materials needed.
<Seraphna> Alita> We might have to, I have an idea but it's going to be... rocky.
<ChadWinters`> 6Id tries to take control of the systems, working in tandem with Lana
<Xanatos> <Simon> If we are aimed at a safe space I can have Chronos spirit us away.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "A crash landing? Oh no."
<Seraphna> Alita> We are not."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *tries to reverse thrusters*
<Seraphna> Alita> It's aimed to slam right into the Spirit World.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Oh dear.
<DeathStar> *Id, having slightly better look, manages to help with the reverse, however, with the speed of the ship it is going, it just seems to keep going and going and going as they near the planet*
<DeathStar> <*luck
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Is this going to work?
<Seraphna> **Alita starts chanting and Talia seems to get it, joining her, as they two conjour fire below them in waves, creating strong, powerful updrafts of heat to start knocking the shipt in an indirect course instead of a critical impact**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Brace for impact.
<DeathStar> *finally it does begin to slow*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Trying to concentrate!" *hands work furiously as she tries to override the drive system*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Adjust reverse thrusters Lana. Change incoming degree by 10.7
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What the hell is wrong with these Croza?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...changing our angle..."
<Seraphna> **Alita and Talia keep up the fire, a burning line of mana between them showing they're using the Familiar and Mistress link to amplify their spells**
<Seraphna> Alita> Use.,.. the updraft...
<ChadWinters`> 6Id brings all the ships shields to the front and under to act as a buffer along with Alita/Talia's updraft
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I need to restore helm control now that we're slowed down."
<DeathStar> *the ship lifts up as Lana gets control of the flight controls finally and with the thrusts it lifts up and instead of pile driving into the planet they skim it and just casually cruise along with everyone's back and just bounce along the ground once with minimal damage
<Xanatos> <Simon> ....I am genuinely shocked we're alive. Well done everyone.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Haaaaaaaaaah! I have control!"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I was confident I would've survived.
<Seraphna> **Alita and Talia drop, Alita putting a hand on Talia and feeding her mana so she doesn't fade from temporarily boosting her Godhood to 40.
<DeathStar> *Celes leans forward* ....
<DeathStar> <Gwen> .... I hate ships
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... that was some flying. I never want to see it again."
<Xanatos> <BIX> GOOD JOB! 6* He jumps around high fiving everyone.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Simon... if you want some spare parts, this is an ideal opportunity to study a Croza shell up close."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Lana, we not have a ship for ourselfs for the war effort.
<Seraphna> Alita> Well... now we have a ship.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *tries bringing the ship to land gently*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I believe you, Simon and I can convert this over to be fully useful for us.
<DeathStar> *it's already landed*
<Seraphna> Talia> Talia need nap.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Isn't there a temple ship that was on modern Geyze? I wonder if it's this one."
<Seraphna> **Talia flops on Neekito**
<Xanatos> <Simon> Perhaps we can make this shell usable by Id.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Temple ship Id? That's kinda scary."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon motions Ceilidh to the frozen Croza shell.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh, that shell. Yeah, that would be good."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Hmmm....I do not know what I could do with that, other than having a much bigger shell.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "The shell that the croza was using, not the whole ship..." *turns around... looks down... then crosses her arms over her chest* "I am not too excited!"
<DeathStar> **The temple right now seems to have come to a stop in the middle of the ground near a prestine lake*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> But I am intrigued at utilizing the entire ship as a shell.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I just hope we're not missing too much back at the city - things were getting dicy back there
<Seraphna> Alita> Let's get this up and get back there, we may need to turn a tide or two.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Indeed. Time to get to work getting more materials as well.
<DeathStar> *as Alita says that, the temple seems to power down*
<Seraphna> Alita> That's the opposite of what I wanted! Bad ship!
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Lana and I have access to the ship now. If you want, you could utilize the spirit world to get back to Geyze while we work on getting this place up and running proper.
<DeathStar> <Celes> ... Well then. That's just lovel
<DeathStar> Epilogue:
<DeathStar> *The fighting in the northern city has come to an end as the temples have destroyed parts of it with their fire from the sky. The 5 heroes having gathered the remains of the resistance when suddenly the army of the Croza and the temples begin to depart for the south with no warning, as if something happened*
<DeathStar> <Sophia> ... I need to have Gale gets us down south I suppose.
