<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.8.28
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
<DeathStar> *Tora studies a glass of alcohol in the bar and blinks, then sips it, bleching and coughing*
* Jackieness has joined #TAW-Session536
<DeathStar> *Barry cleans glasses behind the counter, raising an eyebrow as Tora coughs and then studies the alcohol and takes another sip, coughing once again*
* ChadWinters` has joined #TAW-Session536
<Seraphna> Luci> Those are new glasses.
<DeathStar> <Tora> So. Here's the deal
<DeathStar> *she says between fits of coughing while Barry eyes Luci, arching his eyebrow even further, still cleaning them*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan tilts his head at Tora, setting his empty glass to the side.
<Seraphna> Luci> Get the cough syrup.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Ymir has... uh... using her resources to scour Kumen City for your guy that started the anti spirit sentiment
<Jackieness> <Kira> "The alien invader known as the Templar."
<Seraphna> Luci> The last one tasted funny.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Can't blame her, causing problems so I'd do the same.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Right. Ymir has studied the files top side and it looks like that guy was it and there was no others. So assuming you all really beat him
<DeathStar> <Tora> That leaves how do we stop the anti spirit sentiment
<Xanatos> <Logan> I wonder if the spirits could heal the sick, support the downtrodden. You know that sort of thing.
<DeathStar> *Asarar folds her hands* Would it be safe to put them out there to begin their work?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Not without armed security this time."
<Xanatos> 6* BIX walks by carrying a tray of dirty glasses, moving back into the kitchen area to clean them.
<Seraphna> Luci> I could eat the people against spirits. Proven tactic.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Probably better to protect the spirits this time instead of eating.
<DeathStar> *Barry narrows eyes, then soon BIX is wearing a hotel worker outfit*
<Seraphna> Luci> Not one eaten enemy has ever come back to complain.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'm beginning to think we need to put Luci though some training
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I feel she's reverting
<Xanatos> 6* BIX salutes and stands around like a good bus boy ready to take luggage somewhere.
<DeathStar> *Bonnie sits in front of Luci in cat form, then wiggles enticingly*
<Seraphna> Luci> Hey, you all complained that my horse diet was too expensive.
<Seraphna> **Luci pets Bonnie**
<DeathStar> *Bonnie purrs*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Do we want the job of protecting the spirits or should we just tell Ymir to hire security?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Not enough of us to babysit them around the clock."
<Xanatos> <Logan> If it's anything like last time regularly security won't be enough.
<Seraphna> Luci> Yeah we’ll protect them. Nell likes them.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> This could be a long term job, but at least it'll be on Kumen. *she muses* I'll see about pulling in some old operatives
<DeathStar> <Tora> I'll let Ymir know then. *she throws back her drink then coughs, hacking*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "How long will it take to get them into their temples?"
<Seraphna> Luci> **starts packing BBQ sauce from the bar**
<Xanatos> <Logan> They said a few months per temple?
<DeathStar> <Tora> If we want to protect them, it might be best to house them here and only have them go out and do jobs as one until the temples are ready
<Seraphna> Luci> Okay but they have to serve tables.
<Xanatos> <Logan> They won't be too snooty to work like that?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Right, its easier to protect them if they are located in a safehouse most of the time."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...Luci, if we make bank of protecting them, they won't need to wait tables."
<Seraphna> Luci> Can you imagine the business if I have cute spirit girls serving drinks?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Show me a well adjusted person and I'll show you the manual labor job they worked before moving onto fancier things.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I can see why all of Luci's workers are cute girls
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Barry, I need a drink."
<DeathStar> *Barry has already prepared it, knowing she'd need it, holding it out*
<Seraphna> Luci> I get less business now that Kira isn’t dancing.
<DeathStar> <Tora> I'll have the spirits transferred here and outfits prepared for them. *She steps out* Hopefully Ymir doesn't get mad at you~
<Jackieness> <Kira> "You're a dear." *takes the drink*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Do we know if the person Luci ate is the same one that we encountered at the church?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If Tora is right it should be unless the Templar is crafty enough to fool Ymir's camera system
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'm assuming that's what Tora was referring to
<Seraphna> Luci> I have Ymir’s outfit too.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> The old Kumen City had cameras everywhere
<Xanatos> <Logan> That's what I thought too, but we didn't actually make that confirmation so I'm suspicious about that.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It's true. We can only HOPE.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Right. Hm....cute spirits serving drinks...
<Seraphna> Luci> I’ll sniff out for more Templars. I have a taste now.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Right. We need to talk about eating people
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Interlude 1
<DeathStar> Location: Dark One Homeworld
<DeathStar> *while the other worlds gather their ships to deal with the Templars, the one Templar fleet has been hammering away at Leon's fleet for the past few days, having been decimating it while it stands between it and the planet. Bobbi peers at Kyouki* <Bobbi> I think I should ask for world eating weapons next meeting
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I only know two. Well, one and a backup."
<DeathStar> *Bobbi has been going through some of the tomes of Andrea's, studying them while Leon's fleet has been being decimated*
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> Probably thouse Erusians, right?
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> Well, once that McTreggor guy falls, these tomes should protect us from whatever death weapon they'll attempt to use on us. *she turns to eye Kyouki* But in the end, you might need to run. If we lost you here, it might be bad
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'm not running unless we've lost... but I know."
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> Good. *she hands Kyouki a tome or two as they prepare, getting the Dark Spirit prepared for the invasion*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Our ships and the Cartel's are in position to launch an attack on the Templar fleet at the Dark One Homeworld. We have Gears and troops in the hanger ready to leap over to their ships to try to find Dias.
<ChadWinters`> Let's hope they're keeping him on a ship and not off-site on a world.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Guess it's go time.
<DeathStar> *a masked man checks his Gear along with a smaller masked woman, helping her into the Gear. Both get into the same Gear with a rifle while X paces the hanger*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If that is the case we might not find him for some time.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And is there anything that I might do to defend my people's new home?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> We'll be pincering that fleet with Leon's forces, though he may not have much left. Whether you help us or you go help your people is up to you.
<ChadWinters`> Unfortunately, this is the only course we can go with in regards to Dias until we get more information.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Can he really be that hard to find? He’d hopefully be the only dark signature on their ship.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos is right. There will be a delay in destroying some of the ships as we check them for Dias, but other than that
<ChadWinters`> You assume they're not suppressing his powers. Also, he doesn't exude Dark One energy all the time.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Only when he uses that arm of his.
* ChadWinters` nods at Xan
<DeathStar> *X on comms* <X> You assume they left him that arm
<Xanatos> <Xan> She's right. *c* Hangar teams prepare to launch. Moving into range.
<ChadWinters`> You're also correct, X.
<DeathStar> *Erevis turns to Jikuu* You are with me
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> Why don’t we just look for an absence of brain activity.
<Alicia> * Jikuu nods to Erevis
<DeathStar> *As the PAX exits hyperspace with the Cartel ships, they find Leon's fleet decimated, floating there in pieces, with Titus' fleet having only a 35% damage rate to it. It begins to launch a ship to the surface while the rest take up defense positions*
<ChadWinters`> The best bet is if he's on a ship it'll be the Command ship.
<ChadWinters`> 6The Cartel fleet begin breaking off into position working in tandem with Durran's plans
<DeathStar> *it seems this fleet has 3 command type ships that has decimated their ships in the past, 4 medium ships, and 5 normal ships left*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Leon survive? I kinda liked him in a less threatening than most zealots way.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...keep an eye on that ship heading to my planet!" *runs to grab a shuttle* "Anyone who wants to crush a miscreant, on me!"
<Xanatos> <Xan> Damn, he really got hammered.
<ChadWinters`> Let's not let his loss go to waste.
<DeathStar> *the masked man launches in his Gear. X throws herself into space*
<DeathStar> *floating along*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan starts giving orders, noting for a couple ships to escort Noire's crew to the surface before rejoining the main contigent.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> He managed to hold him off for a few days to give us time to group up
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session536
<Xanatos> <Xan> Hopefully he escaped and is on the surface.
<DeathStar> *Ren joins Noire*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Let's match size, at least one of equal size on each ship and any extras focus fire on the normal ships and work your way up, we'll wittle them down as we try to find Dias.
<DeathStar> *Erevis touches Jikuu and begins to hyperspace glow*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *woulds launch afetr the Templar surface ship once her team boarss the shuttle*
<DeathStar> *warping onto a ship*
<Alicia> * Charlotte likewise joins Noire
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin looks over a gear and hmms, then climbs in a gear and blasts out.
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses and follows Noire since she’s best on the ground**
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel hops in to a gear and moves out after Kellin to assist
<DeathStar> *Noire's shuttle immediately is attacked with a barrange of blasts; she can opt to OG it or take the roll*
<Jackieness> ((OG it))
<DeathStar> THIS IS FOR NOIRE ONE MOMENT
<DeathStar> Up, Down, Left, Right, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Down, Left, Left, Down, Up, Right

<DeathStar> 0
<DeathStar> *The shuttle jerks and zags down to the planet off screen for now*
<DeathStar> *The templar ships begin to take aim at the Suisen and Cartel ships, the 3 command ships firing with powerful blasts, one taking out a Suisen ship*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan makes a face.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Focus attacks on their weapons.
<Xanatos> <Xan> We can't let that keep happen.
<DeathStar> *They seem to have no fighters to launch, so the mystery Gear flies in to one of the command ships, aiming at rifle and snipes their weapons while X ripples inside*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> *works on doing so*
<ChadWinters`> We're at a massive disadvantage by trying to keep the ships functional while searching do Dias.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> We're slowly getting agents inside
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin watches the masked gear move into one and senses for Erevis on the other so he can take the third.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel follows with Kellin
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> How functional? Seems to me we only need them in piece with life support. Target engines and weapons.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth tries to do so as the Templar ships take out a cartel ship and then aim at the PAX
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Warning
<Xanatos> <Xan> Get ready for evasive action.
<ChadWinters`> I'll back you up, Xan.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Ugh..... *she pulls on the controls as it fires, straining to move it*
<Seraphna> **Sammael in Engineering adds a boost**
<Xanatos> 6* Xan switches to manual mode to help out as well.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Templar Ship
<DeathStar> *Erevis walks along the corridors, as she glances out a window at the PAX being hit by a blast, it's shields absorbing most of it but sending the PAX into what looks like a system shock as it's lights go off*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... that is not good
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "How many survivors are there?"
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I mean here. PAX will be fine a little longer."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They should be fine. *X lands at their feet, having rippled in*
<DeathStar> <X> There are a lot of Templars around us
<DeathStar> *as they move through the hallways, they come across a terminal and X begins to work her magic to try to find information on Dias*
<DeathStar> <X> Lets see here. ..... *at that moment a group of Templars surrounds the three from behind, aiming their swords at their backs*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I probably should have expected this."
<DeathStar> *right as they order Jikuu to step away from theo thers, being a little girl, a Gear smashes through the floor and knocks them all away, the rifle aiming at them and shooting them away*
<DeathStar> <Voice> You okay?
<DeathStar> <X> Yeah yeah. There, information on Dias. This way. *she comms the PAX, getting a crackling sound* I got information on Dias on this ship. You can destroy the others. *forming a ripple, she turns to the others* Ready?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "You arrived right on time..." *she is uncertain who the voice is, but grateful no matter who it is*
<DeathStar> <Man> Well, since I can't fit into that ripple with this, we'll stay behind and cover you until you get Dias. *the Gear turns around and begins to snipe the incoming Templars as Erevis pulls Jikuu into the Ripple with X*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Dark One Homeworld
<DeathStar> *Bobbi peers up as a Templar Shuttle is coming in* They've arrived, Kyouki
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> I'm going to read a tome to power you up
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I see them."
<DeathStar> *Bobbi begins to read the dark language in the tome and Kyouki's spirit body begins to glow dark as her energy begins to feel enhanced, allowing her to feel like she can do twice her normal capabilities; closing the tome, Bobbi nods, stepping away*
<DeathStar> *the templar shuttle begins to land nearby; a moment or two later a PAX shuttle comes in*
<DeathStar> <Ren> What now Noire?
<Seraphna> **Jaime glows green as she moves to the ramp, rock armor forming from her mud** Smash?
<DeathStar> <Ren> I guess that's an option
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Sounds good to me."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Get ready to hit them." *brings them in, passing over the Templar shuttle*
<Seraphna> **Jaime leaps and forms a rock fist to slam down with as she lands**
<DeathStar> *The templar shuttle shoots up a beam from the top of it that hits their shuttle and sends it flying out of control, even hitting Jaime as she leaps out and sends her flying off somewhere*
<DeathStar> *Ren yeeeks and falls out of the shuttle*
<DeathStar> *falling toward the ground*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to get the shuttle back under control*
<Alicia> * Kyouki launches a telekinetic attack at the templar shuttle, to take down its weapons. "No. Bad."
<DeathStar> Left, right, left, right, right, left
<DeathStar> *never mind
<DeathStar> *with her super powerd state, Kyouki grabs it*
<DeathStar> *oh wait that's he templar ship
<DeathStar> *As she depowers it*
<DeathStar> *the Noire ship contkinues to do down
<DeathStar> Left, right, left, right, right, left
<DeathStar> 5
<Alicia> RLRLLR
<Jackieness> rlrllr
<DeathStar> *Noire gets it under control and manages to land it nearby*
<DeathStar> *The templar ship has been depowered by Kyouki and is quiet now*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *then dashes from the still open ramp toward the Templar ship*
<Alicia> * Charlotte hurries after
<DeathStar> *The templar ship seems quiet - too quiet*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is this ship even manned?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime wraps back, mostly nude, rock armor ruined, steaming slightly and looking unhappy**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Do we have way to find the Templar in case he snuck off in the confusion?"
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> *pats Kyouki*
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> Kyouki, can you feel out the planet for an intruder?
<Alicia> * Kyouki tries to locate any templar-like life forms on the planet
<DeathStar> *Kyouki glows with her hightened powers, glowing unnaturally. A wolf-fox crawls by Jaime*
<DeathStar> *Kyouki locates the Templar near the resort*
<Alicia> * Charlotte hurries over to check on said wolf-fox, while Kyouki points out the Templar's location. "The resort."
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and teleports the group that way**
<DeathStar> *it seems Ren switched to that form to heal*
<DeathStar> *having been injured a bit in the fall*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *nods, forming her Dark Edge as they teleport*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Adeline is on the bridge, having her datapad hooked up to computer ando ther things* Attempting a reboot
<DeathStar> *even as the Templar ships are preparing another shot, the fleet is running interference*
<Xanatos> <Xan> ... 6* He sits there tense
<DeathStar> <Adeline> By the way. I been researching the second PAX's information the past few months. Even though we lost it, I downloaded it all if you recall. *she talks casually, despite the tense situation*
<ChadWinters`> This is going to put the PAX back again....
<Xanatos> <Xan> .....can't we get Drasek or Sammael to juice it and kickstart the the systems?
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> We got Ao and Drasek in engineering now
<ChadWinters`> As long as they don't overload it. 6He eyes his terminal trying to help with Adeline
<Seraphna> Sammael> I needed a moment… blowing the engine while I was charging it is painful.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> So, I think I could make the PAX better. Better than it was in some ways. Granted we'd still be missing sections
<Xanatos> <Xan> Any improvements would be welcome...but shouldn't you focus on the task at hand?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> But with the information of the second PAX, I could upgrade portions of this PAX and unlock sections of our PAX that has been sealed off.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I am doing both. Can't you multitask?
<DeathStar> *she brings systems online as she says that*
<Xanatos> <Xan> No. Not even a littl ebit.
<Seraphna> Sammael> What do you need powered Adeline? I know Jaime usually interfaces for you.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Alright, we can move again and fire.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *peeks over a console at Adeline*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan focuses on moving first to avoid any incoming shots.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well with Ao and Drasek down below I should be okay. *nods to Myria* Yes, I would be glad to work with you on unlocking the systems
<Jackieness> <Myria> *squees*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin after hearing X's report is buzzing around his original capital ship trying to take out or slow down any firing from it.
<DeathStar> *The capital ships seem to be extremely difficult to stop and at first Kellin is doing nothing when he spots a weakness on it's side, perhaps from Leon earlier*
<DeathStar> *unfortuntely, they begin to aim at him to destroy his Gear*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin orders Cel to retreat and leaps out of his gear, leaving it on and moving so they'll target it.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel breaks off, firing away as she retreats
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Taking aim at the capital ship without Dias. Ready to fire*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin begins to charge a Progen Bustah.
<DeathStar> *they indeed attack and destroy the Gear*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Fire.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin keeps charging, shivering a bit at being out in space, before releasing his bustah at the weak point as powerful as he can even if it knocks him out in the process and would surely rocket him away into space.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel loops back in to grab Kellin after he goes uber on the ship
<DeathStar> *Lenneth fires all the PAX's weapons, blowing it up. As Kellin takes out the other, that leaves the other normal ships that have been slowly been picking off by the Suisen ships and Cartel when uncloaked ships arrive, led by Theron since Warren is not at the Erusian territory right now.*
<DeathStar> *as the Templar ships begin to combine their weapons for some counter attack, they do not seem to have noticed Theron's ships yet, the combined weapon attack growing largr and larger, shooting out and hitting a Cartel ship and vaporizing it, then a suisen ship*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Massive discharge of energy
<Xanatos> 6* Theron orders his ships to take out the ones making the combining attack.
<ChadWinters`> We've got back-up arriving.
<Xanatos> <Theron> *C* I see this has not been an easy battle.
<ChadWinters`> 6Cel beginss flying back towards the PAX, carrying Kellin.
<DeathStar> *the erusian ships fire and blow up the templar ships,causing a chain reaction that takes out most of them*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Did we know Erus was coming?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Though if you notice something, Titus has not been part of this battle. Meaning he's with another fleet of his
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I did not
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Lets hope he did not circle back to the Maka
<ChadWinters`> I was hoping he'd make an appearance.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> He only has so many ships and he threw them away here
<Xanatos> <Xan> *C* Thanks for the help. Do not take out that capital ship we have friendlies aboard. <Theron> *C* Understood, cleaning up and switching to defense.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> Somewhere between tactical genius and hypocritical coward.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Lets just be glad for that
<Xanatos> <Xan> That's crazy, right? There has to be somethign we're missing.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth and Adeline ponder*
<ChadWinters`> He maybe targeting his main ship elsewhere then. And if he's willing to leave Dias here...6He clicks his tongue. 1"They may already have the box.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Templar Ship
<DeathStar> *X walks along the ship with Erevis and Jikuu toward a massive door when an armored Knight steps out with a sword with some mystical property.* <Templar Knight> Stay from the door. This sword will injure any unnatural being. I advise you all to step away.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... You hear that? He thinks we are unnaural beings.
<DeathStar> *Erevis does put an arm in front of Jikuu though*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Of course he does."
<DeathStar> *X brings out the ripple blade and dashes forward, locking blades with the templar, but it's clear he's superior and he stabs X though the shoulder, making her fall to her knees. Surprisingly though, a strange purple wound begins to form it and she stumbles back, sweat forming* <X> Ugh...
<DeathStar> <Templar Knight> Hm, a strange case.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *forms the emerald sword in rapier form*
<DeathStar> <Templar Knight> Most would have died from a single stab, but you must either be a new unnatural occurance, or something else. But neither the less. *he raises the blade to end X when Erevis slashes to get him from behind and he turns to parry her and slings Erevis back* <Erevis> Jikuu! Get to the door!
<Alicia> * Jikuu rushes for the door, as instructed, despite any hesitance she might have
<DeathStar> *the door seems to have a password. X holds it out with a shaky hand as Erevis and the Templar Knight sword fight*
<DeathStar> <X> That's what..the computer said.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Password..." *sees if she can just teleport behind the door*
<DeathStar> *Jikuu gets inside*
<DeathStar> *And finds an arm*
<DeathStar> *The templars in side with it eye her*
<DeathStar> *going for their weapons*
<Alicia> * Jikuu telekinetically grabs at the arm, trying to grab it and leave before they can stop her
<DeathStar> *Jikuu returns to X, who gets to her feet, making a face* <X> Now we're going to have him be even more insufferable. *eyeing Erevis deadlocked with the Templar*
<DeathStar> <X> Can you yank her over to us?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I have the arm, let us go." *tries to bring Erevis over the first moment she can do so without opening up her defences*
<DeathStar> *Erevis stumbles and as the Templar lunges at them, she hyperports them out*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Dark One Homeworld
<DeathStar> *Ren rests in Charlotte's arms while they scan for the Templar in the resort*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...anything?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime feels out through the ground**
<Alicia> * Kyouki keeps scanning
<DeathStar> *A Gear lands in the resort and opens up, two masked female figures hop out*
<DeathStar> *The Gear closes up and kneels, scanning with a rifle, even as Kyouki spots the Templar hiding in a building far down the road*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "He's in there."
<DeathStar> *The gear aims and fires a perfect sniper shot at the building, blowing the templar out*
<DeathStar> *For everyone*
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and glows green again, skating along the ground like it was ice**
<DeathStar> *his templar armor in tatters*
<Alicia> <Lunar Girl> "Nice shot!" <Other> "Lets go."
<DeathStar> *Ren hops out and reforms*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *dashes at the Templar, her Dark Edge held at her side*
<Seraphna> **Jaime forms an unstable looking hyperblade glowing with various colors and leaps slashing at the Templar**
<DeathStar> *the Templar eyes the two coming from both sides and lifts a shield up, the shield melting to stop Jaime and falling down int othe sand*
<Alicia> * Lunar Girl and the other masked figure, holding back for now, but readying attacks for when Noire and Jaime are occupied
<Alicia> *follow
<DeathStar> <Ren> And who is the Gear guy suppose to be? <Gear> The Gear's model is Sniper, so just call me Snipe I guess. *He moves in and keeps the Templar in his line of sight*
<Seraphna> **Jaime slides past, pulling a glass blade out of the sand and joining it to the hyper blade**
<Alicia> * Lunar Girl grins at what's probably a joke only she gets
<Jackieness> <Noire> *slashes at the downed Templar*
<DeathStar> *the two pierce the Templar and he gurgles, the DNA bomb beginning to glow in his chest*
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> Stop it!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "How do we get rid of it?!"
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns** Freeze it or send it into a void.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I'd teleport it into space, but I'm not sure I could get it far enough away for it not to rain down."
<DeathStar> <Snipe> I could shoot it?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "What about inside one of the surviving Templar ships? Can you do that?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime starts forming a large rock orb around the Templar** Can you move this into space?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That might activate it." * Kyouki looks to Noire, grins, then tries that.
<DeathStar> *Snipe blinks as the bomb vanishes, peering up in space* I was going to offer to fly it up but that works
<Alicia> * Just not the flagship. That still has friendlies.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Not today… Unc… Snipe.
<Alicia> * Lunar Girl looks over Jaime
<Jackieness> <Noire> "The armor of the ship should absorb the wors tof the blast's energy... if we're lucky, they'll try to jump before it goes off."
<DeathStar> <Bobbi> Lets just hope the resto f the battle goes well. <Snipe> For now I'll monitor things from here and see where we might be needed, girls
<DeathStar> *Snipe pauses* <Snipe> It looks like Dias wasn't found after all - just his arm
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Got to hand it to him
<Seraphna> Jaime> So 16% a success?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "As long as the rest of him is doing fine..."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Saving our world is only a 16%?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> In rescuing Dias.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Planet’s safe take a chill pill.
<Alicia> <Lunar Girl> "But we saved the world, so the next bit should be easy."
<DeathStar> *Bobbi motions* I'm sure he's fine. Heroes like him never get tortured.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Interlude 2:
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> *Titus studies the readings on Prisoner D, who seems to resist almost everything they do to him, peering down at the cell* <Titus> We know the source of all unnatural balance is inside him. If we cannot yank it out of him in the next few months, then we'll kill him and see if that works.
<DeathStar> <Titus> Use the information we've gathered from the various worlds and use the data to bring out the box.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> The last capital ship is retreating and one of the templar ships just exploded with some sort of DNA bomb
<DeathStar> <Adeline> X brought Cuddles an arm and seems to have been stabbed with a Templar weapon for unnatural creatures and is running a high fever
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It seems to be Dias' arm, so Cuddles is storing the arm in the PAX's system until it can be reattached
* ChadWinters` clicks his tongue. 1"I'm curious to why the decided to keep it. Adeline, can you bring up the scans on X?
<Xanatos> <Xan> High fever, it some kind of virus?
<DeathStar> *Adeline does so, and it shows the stab wound in her shoulder spreading, as if her body was resisting being erased*
<DeathStar> *particles in it spreading out and erasing things in it*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Thankfully it's weak and her natural immune system should win out
<Seraphna> Sammael> I find this unsettling.
<ChadWinters`> Whatever she was stabbed with is affecting her at a cellular level. 6He tries to see if it's going after the Dragoon DNA side or the Weapon DNA side
<Xanatos> <Xan> So someone without a healing capability like that would be compeltely fucked. See if Cuddle can find a counter or at least some resistance to it.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'm dubbing the weapon a unnatural killer for it most likely kills them at a cellular level and quickly. *it seems to be going after their combined DNA, X's anamoly being the unnatural state. But due to it being from two normal creations it didn't out right kill her*
<ChadWinters`> ....6He crosses his arms as he studies it a bit. 1"We should let Dragoons know that they might be affected by this. I'll let the Weapons know to be on guard just in case also.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Ohhhh... maybe we could come up with a vaccine."
<Xanatos> <Xan> If it erases quickly, we might not have time to administer something like that. Think of it as a disintegrator but for supernatural beings.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Right. *She gets on that* Either way we need to look out for Templars wielding swords like that. Thomas might know more
<DeathStar> >Adeline> He is the book worm of the Templars
<ChadWinters`> If he knew about it, I'd like to think he would've warned us. It's possible this is new.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh speaking of our allies. Any sign of Leon?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hm, good point
<ChadWinters`> What concerns me is if this is based off they're studies of Dias since they had him. Which would explain why it's affecting X.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> We've checked the wreckages, but his ship was targetted pretty heavily. While we haven't found a body, his ship was collapsed pretty heavily
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Vaccine is adminstered before infection to create a countermeasure, not after infection. Biiiiiiiih."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Send crews to recover what they can, if he is somehow alive in there we wouldn't want to waste his luck.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh you're right Myria. I was thinking more like antidote stuff.
<ChadWinters`> Cuddles should have all the data she needs to start work on a counter measure for now. But we need to be on guard with Dragoons and Weapons for now. That probably will included NGD's and NGW's.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Sounds like we have a bunch to do

<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
* Ariel has joined #TAW-Session536-2
<DeathStar> *Tora walks into the bar's room with all the original spirits, even Gale, who look around all confused at being led to such a strange place on Kumen to stay here for protection from the anti spirit mob*
<DeathStar> <Tora> There4 is a teleporter in the bar that leads to the academy on Geyze if you ever want to talk to the others back on Geyze
<Seraphna> Luci> **starts handing out waitress uniforms**
<Xanatos> <Logan> Uh, welcome.
<DeathStar> <Frost> Hello. *she eyes the uniforms, looking confused* <Gaia and Gale> Hello!
<Seraphna> Luci> While you’re staying with us I’
<Seraphna> Luci> I’d like you girls to help out.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *comes down the stairs and then eyes the scene* "...Luci..."
<DeathStar> <Leviathan> Help out....?
<DeathStar> <Gale> Do dishes?
<DeathStar> <Gaia> Dust?
<Seraphna> Luci> Serving drinks and food. Or putting on shoes if you like to be creative. Those are nice choices too!
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Luci!"
<Xanatos> 6* Logan ahems.
<Seraphna> Luci> Yes Kira you can dance if you want.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "The club is closed, and we are on lockdown."
<DeathStar> *The elder spirits look confused*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Lockdown? I guess that's a good idea.
<DeathStar> <Tora> This group will protect you as you do your jobs and help restore Kumen to win their trust
<Seraphna> Luci> That would make it obvious they are here.
<Seraphna> Luci> Also renting the bar is 1000 credits a day.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I'm married to your landlord." *walks in front of the spirits* "If you follow me, I will show you to your accomodations."
<Xanatos> 6* BIX runs up to help carry anything, waving in delight at the spirits.
<Seraphna> Luci> Yes so you share the expense/
<DeathStar> <Frost> *To the other Spirits* Do they seem ...reliable to you?
<DeathStar> *Gale waves to Bix*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "This way." *walks for the stairs to show the spirits to their rooms*
<Seraphna> Luci> I eat intruders. You’ll be fine Frost.
<Xanatos> <Logan> When you become so greedy, Luci?
<DeathStar> *the spirits follow Kira, glancing around the building*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'm guessing it's her dragon nature?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Or the fact we gave her the second bar on Geyze
<Seraphna> Luci> I have a reputation to maintain as a dragon.
<Xanatos> <Logan> So this is your fault, Asarar?
<Seraphna> Luci> You know I used to literally be a bounty hunter right?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We pick on you because we care
<Jackieness> <Kira> *assigns each spirit to their own room, specifically to interior rooms without windows where they might be spotted or sniped*
<DeathStar> *The spirits look about the rooms, blinking and poking about*
<Seraphna> Luci> All these youngins. **says the teenie bopper**
<DeathStar> <Tora> *Holds up a mirror at Luci*
<Seraphna> Luci> I look good for 119 huh?
<DeathStar> *she looks 70 in it*
<Seraphna> Luci> Funny mirror.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "In the event the premises is invaded, the staircase on the west end of the corridor will take you dirctly down to the teleporter chamber."
<Xanatos> <BIX> BIX defend. Protect spirits! Spirits Flee. TO: Geyze!
<DeathStar> <Frost> And you are the owner of this building?
<Xanatos> <Logan> Being that old sounds miserable.
<Xanatos> <Logan> You've have to live THAT long....fucking gross.
<Seraphna> Luci> Dragons live for several hundred years. Whippersnapper.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Asarara's name is on the documents, but given that I am her keeper, so to speak..."
<Xanatos> <Logan> To each their own, glad I"m a regular ol human who'll be lucky to make it to 70s to 100s.
<Seraphna> Luci> Weirdo.
<DeathStar> <Frost> Well, then I will follow your lead then.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Me, weird!? You eat people!
<DeathStar> *she nods her head, glancing about the rooms*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Thank you. Now then, you will leave this site only under guard to perform your duties. Otherwise, you will stay here and not leave. Once your temples are complete, Tora will come to take you to your permanent homes."
<Xanatos> <BIX> Spirits: Restore faith. Overarching mission!
<DeathStar> *The spirits sigh but nod* <Gale> What fun things are there to do here?
<Seraphna> Luci> People are just meat and bones.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Music, holovision... I'm sure we cna get books and games at request as well. Further, Geyze should be safe for you to visit as long as you arrange to visit with us ahead of time."
<DeathStar> *They nod*
<Xanatos> <Logan> One day something's gonna eat you and it'll be karma.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Try not to scare the spirits. Or the maka when they visit.
<Seraphna> Luci> That happened once.
<Seraphna> Luci> I’m the karma.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Are there any further questions?"
<Xanatos> <BIX> Question! When: Combat training?
<Seraphna> Luci> Barmaid training is also on offer. But only to the best spirits.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "If you really want combat training, we will need to go to the Academy on Geyze."
<Xanatos> <BIX> No. When: BIX Train Spirits.
<Xanatos> <BIX> Hand to hand!
<Xanatos> 6* BIX makes a martial arts pose.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "My answer still stands if they want it. We don't have the room here."
<Xanatos> 6* Bix mumbles about knocking down walls in the hotel area to make a big room but says nothing else and salutes to Kira.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "And no demolition to make the room here."
<DeathStar> <Gale> Bix is always so cheerful
<DeathStar> *The spirits finish getting their rooms in order and slowly head downstairs, exploring the bar area*
<Xanatos> <BIX> Yeah! 6* he poses with a thumbs up.
<Seraphna> Luci> **drinks a sunspot**
<Xanatos> <Logan> Everything going to be okay for you all? I know it's probably different to your temples and whatnot
<DeathStar> <Frost> The temple situation is mostly just a place for us to be found and gather our power
<DeathStar> <Gale> It is fine
<DeathStar> <Gaia> It is why like some of the spirits have none today
<DeathStar> *Referring to Sylph*
<Xanatos> <Logan> Ah. I don't really know anything about spirits other than the basic like...nature beings thing.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *walks around with a clipboard, checkign all the security arrangements*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> How do we look? *asking Kira*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Secure for the moment."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Do we have any external surveillance?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We should and the security room is up top
<Xanatos> <Logan> I'll be sure to do some shfits there, make sure no one is scoping out the place.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We even have some software that will raise an alarm if a camera's feed is too static."
<DeathStar> *The spirits play on the singing stage*(
<DeathStar> *Gale posing*
<DeathStar> *Frost flipping through songS*
<Xanatos> <Logan> We should bring in one of those idols, I bet they'd like that.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Wait a minute...Idol spirits, protecting the planet with the songs and their energy. Could be a way to win over the people.
<Seraphna> Luci> I guess now I bring up that I used to be a singer.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You plan to have them becom idols?
<Xanatos> <Logan> I mean, if they want to do that.
<Seraphna> Luci> Don’t they need worshippers?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...practicing will give them something to do that doesn't involve them sneaking out."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll get the system running again I guess
<DeathStar> *Asarar works on the holoscreen and music to run once more*
<DeathStar> <Gale> Singing and idol is fun?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Well... apparently idols generate alot of love from their followers... I need a drink... Barry!"
<Xanatos> <Logan> The PAX has a whole mess of them, maybe we can get some of their vids to show you.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Singing and dancing, might not be for you, but people love them a cute girl singing and dancing.
<DeathStar> *Barry slides it over*
<DeathStar> *The spirits confer then nod, deciding it might be a good way to win the hearts of Kumen over*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Did I mention you're a dear today, barry?" *takes the drink*
<DeathStar> *Asarar hooks up the screen with the various songs and thesound system
<Xanatos> 6* BIX looks excited and shows his favorite song. From the preview it seems to be a dancey techno thing that has one word shouted "Go!"
<DeathStar> *Leviathan tries to sing it and mimics the movement*
<DeathStar> *Holding her hand out and even winks* <Leviathan> How'd I do?
<Xanatos> 6* BIX claps excitedly and mimics the hand out pose.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Everyone knows Athena is the best so I would definitely check her ou......6* He pauses and catches himself, coughing and looking up at the ceiling.
<DeathStar> *they look up this Athena and Frost repeats "Kitty Love" confused*
<Seraphna> **Thena appears** Someone wanted to learn idol magic!?
<Xanatos> 6* Logan jerks, reaching for his pistol.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Intruder!
<Xanatos> <Logan> Wait.
<Seraphna> Thena> Galactic Princess.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> MY place
<Seraphna> Thena> My galaxy.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Planetary sovereignty."
<Jackieness> <Kira> *then drinks form her glass*
<DeathStar> <Frost> So you will train us?
<DeathStar> <Gale> What do we need to know?
<Seraphna> Thena> Yes! Athena is my Momma!
<Xanatos> <Logan> Which Thena is this? The one from Geyze?
<Seraphna> Thena> Nah, Threna too busy. Plus I’m the cute one.
<Seraphna> **Thena somehow literally sparkles**
<Xanatos> <Logan> What's the security against someone just appearing as if by magic, Kira?
<DeathStar> *The spirits move to the side to learn how to idol*
<Seraphna> Luci> Well we don’t really have much against the Suisen Royals. They’re made of space magic.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So I should set up defenses against royals
<Jackieness> <Kira> "MAgic isn't my area of experise, but these templars hate magic."
<Seraphna> Luci> Waste of time if they’re on our side.
<Seraphna> Luci> Besides that mud girl that helps us is related to them.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Yeah. Fair. Teleporting is just dangerous if the Templar decide to be hypocrites.
<Seraphna> Thena> Teleporting deadly to most humans.
<Seraphna> Thena> Need spirits or cool girls like me.
* Sara has joined #TAW-Session536-2
<DeathStar> *The spirits seem to be taking nods on idols*
<Seraphna> **Thena shows them how to shine**
<DeathStar> <Frost> So post and lean over and paw like this?
<Seraphna> Thena> Good Mew Mew!
<Jackieness> <Kira> "That's not the only idol perfformance style."
<Seraphna> Thena> That lesson 2. Or did you wanna teach them naughty club dances?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You're just teaching them how to be cat idols
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Exactly."
<Seraphna> Thena> Lesson. 2.
<Seraphna> **Thena gets a glint in her eye**
<Seraphna> Thena> I have volunteers~
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Volunteers?
<Seraphna> **Thena pulls out costumes and looks at Asarar and Kira**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...what?"
<Seraphna> **Thena begins to walk towards them**
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I have a gun
<Jackieness> <Kira> "The answer is no, and I'm not afraid of starting an interstellar incident."
<Seraphna> **Seven Thenas**
<DeathStar> *Asarar shoots one in the leg*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> No
<DeathStar> *The spirits look up from studying the idol guide from Thena at the gun shot*
<Seraphna> **The Thena poofs and the rest pounce**
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Clearly I need to turn on the building's defenses and have it target anyone with your appearance
<Seraphna> **Thena 8 continues the lesson non-chalantly**
<Seraphna> **Thena 3 noms on Asarar**
<Seraphna> Luci> Ya’ll ever considered not goading the crazy lady helping with the plan?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *peers at Kira*
<Seraphna> **A Thena is in Kira’s hair**
<DeathStar> *Asarar poofs that one with a fork*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Who showed up uninvited, and has the empathy of a sociopath."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Turning the defenses one
<DeathStar> *on
<DeathStar> <ASarar> *moves off*
<Seraphna> **They all pause**
<Seraphna> Thena> You being mean.
<Seraphna> **Luci rubs her face**
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You are purposely irritating people who wish to be left alone. Getting in people's hair? That is painful. If you want to teachin the spirits, go ahead
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *points* But do not expect me and Kira to dress up
<Xanatos> 6* Logan whisles a bit at that.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Don't piss of Asarar. She's viscious.
<Xanatos> (off)
<Seraphna> Thena> Actually I was helping and you two started bitching at me for doing so. Fair fair. Maybe be less of one.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...I'm going to do my rounds. If you want to learn other ways to perform... watch the Idol Charity Tour stream." *walks off*
<Seraphna> **Thena sniffs and reforms into one.
<Seraphna> **Thena then goes to continue the lesson.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *sits by Logan and orders a drink while the spirits, cautiously get back to the lesson*
<Seraphna> **Luci gets another drink as there’s no way to comment easily here**
<Seraphna> Luci> I’m not sure what it means that you got that one to talk like Lumi’s.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Sorry my uh, appreciation, for the idol gals led to you getting upset. It'll be alright though.
<Seraphna> **Thena seems to be teaching them other styles. Perhaps having felt her favored one as the first was mocking her. Or her mother**
<DeathStar> *The spirits seem to take to all the styles quite well*

<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.9.5
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Snipe sits in Katrina's bar, talking to the two girls while Katrina makes them food. Cuddles is treating X who seems to be feeling better but is weak, however she is already insisting on getting back on the road*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha peeks over the bar**
<ChadWinters`> Let yourself recover, X.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> We believe, and with Thomas information, that maybe Leon could have escaped in an escape pod but with no sign of him he might have been captured and could be being tortured. We'll look into it more
<DeathStar> <X> I'm fine.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei gathers the kids in their special meeting room*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan pops in looking dirty for once. Covered in engine oil**
<Alicia> <Asha> "What's up?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin left a thank you gift to Cel, a little stuffed dog and a note that says he owes her. He sits in the meeting room. Valen meanwhile stomps in looking irritable.
<ChadWinters`> For now, we have no leads. We can assume he's still alive becaus they haven't wiped out all the supernatural beings. When we do find him and make our move, we're going to need you at a 100%.
* Sara has joined #TAW-Session536
<DeathStar> <X> Fine fine. I'll take it easier
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So what is the meeting for?"
<DeathStar> <Snipe> *hands Lunar Girl a moon pie*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We think we know where Harbringer is located
<Seraphna> **Kaelan nods**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...whoa, really?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *she points to a space base out in deep space* He has built a series of buildings into a base over this planet here that fits the description of what Kaelan says is his M,O
<ChadWinters`> That's the least I can ask of you, X. But I promise, the moment I find out, I'll let you know so you can prepare.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> So we're planning on going to the planet, then hitting his station and ending him once and for all.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well this should be fun
<Alicia> <Asha> "We're closing in on the endgame?"
<ChadWinters`> 6Durt doesn't seem to be there, having not been seen since his and Lore's last meeting.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "OK, I'll ask... what is it about these buildings that makes them his MO?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> When he had me he was bunkering down.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei brings up the buildings, going into the details about how they were purchased discretly and recently, walking them through hr and Durt's notes*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "He could bunker down anywhere though. Why go through the trouble of being this particular about it?"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei spends the next half hour going through the details*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ...... *Stares at the wall*
<Alicia> <Asha> "That's a lot..." *only remembers the basics*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And the credit line goes from this bank account that matched this one previously..
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...right...just...right..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...I mean you asked.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I was asking why, not how."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I thought I should be thorough
<Seraphna> Kaelan> He does other things too. Hence why when I came back OIwas all blemish free and the types he picks for serving him. Perfectionist.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Anyway with Durt not back yet we should at least head there and begin our investingation.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Everyone ready? *Thomas closes his book*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Lets hope this time we're not there for months
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Hey, Kaelan, you ready to close up your shop again?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> That’s why we have the Ulieah.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I'm hoping to have this wrapped up in a few weeks at most.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei leads them to the hanger bay*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> One last time, eh?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> One last time
* ChadWinters` sits down across from Lenneth. 1"I'm still at a loss as to why they'd seperate his arm and still leave it undamaged. I have theories but...nothing concrete.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Next say that or there'll be one more battle after that
<DeathStar> *X heads back to her place to recover*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Cuddles has been investigating it to see if there's something hidden in it
<Xanatos> 6* Valen quietly pulls out his datapad and sends a message to Vesper that he might be out of contact for a few weeks, not really hiding his face and how bothered he is.
<DeathStar> *Rachael glances at Valen* Hm. I heard she got caught up in that dark one surge stuff. I'm sure she's just shaken up and will be fine
<Seraphna> Kaelan> The Ulieah means we can all stick together too.
<ChadWinters`> They kept it seperate and behind a well guarded door. So they clearly thought it was important.
<DeathStar> *Vesper immediately responds to tell him to be safe*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yeah, she was just...I'm probably reading too much into it.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I--- *she eyes Adeline hooking up stuff with Myria and Drasek to begin the PAX2 conversion stuff*
* ChadWinters` rubs his face a bit. 1"So you okayed her plan then?"
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I thought of staying to help the PAX, but it feels wrong to not see all this stuff through.
<Alicia> <Asha> "So, has anyone seen Durt recently?"
<DeathStar> *Rachael she pats him as they get on the shuttle and head out* <Lorelei> I'm hoping he'll be out there when we get there.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Mother Erevis did. *Erevis meanwhile is busy training Jikuu in sword combat, coming at her hard, swinging the wooden swords*
<DeathStar> <Ako> Well, this shouldn't take too long, right?
<ChadWinters`> Suppose that tracks. 6He leans back a bit. 1"How far was the PAX's repairs set back from that battle?"
<Seraphna> Michelle> It will take forever and ever.
<Seraphna> Michelle> Someone’s gotta counter ya’ll jinxing’ us.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Not that bad. The shield took most of it and we got restarted pretty fast. We lost some over all power but if Adeline can really "restart us up" we should come out ahead. Unless she fails and sets us back. I guess we're gambling
<DeathStar> *Ako claws hre*
<Seraphna> **Michelle tugs her ear**
<ChadWinters`> I suppose now would be the best time to gamble on it.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Lets hope it's quick, but I wouldn't be surprised if Harbringer has some hidden thing that makes it take way longer than expected."
<DeathStar> <Ako> Ow ow ow ow
<ChadWinters`> I don't like that we're stuck in a waiting period with Dias. At this point they can stay hidden until they've succeeded.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> You're right.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> We need a tool to find him quicker.
<DeathStar> *Adeline begins to type into the machines and looks up with Myria* <Adeline> Ready?
<ChadWinters`> A lot of it's going to depend on two things. If he can break free long enough to use one of his weapon abilties so we can sense it. Or we have to hope that Marcus and Fate can find where he's at and get back to us in time.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *she calls Drasek in engineer* Ready?
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Ready!"
<Seraphna> **Sammael observes as a backup**
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Yup!
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Oi, mean Ready!
<DeathStar> *Adeline powers the PAX down and uploads code from the PAX2,with Myria's help, overriding stuff of the PAX, and then has Drasek power them back up*
<DeathStar> <Snipe> Lunar Girl. Michiru
<Seraphna> **Jaime watches quietly, sticking around Adeline**
<Alicia> <Lunar Girl> "Yeah?" <Michiru> "What's up?"
<DeathStar> <Snipe> With Dias still missing, he'll want us to protect Earth in his stead
<DeathStar> <Snipe> So we're going to look after the planet from bad guys until he's found
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek does what he's supposed too I think.
<Alicia> <Lunar Girl> "Then we're going to."
<DeathStar> *He taps his mask*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Was it ever a question?"
<DeathStar> <Snipe> I'll help train you both and we'll make a powerful team. *Katrina rolls her eyes as Snipe shows them the gun as a nice back up weapon*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha sneaks closer to the two**
<DeathStar> *as Drasek repowers the PAX with his Progenitor powers, the PAX2 codes begin to run and Adeline checks it* <Adeline> It seems to be working. I think we are business. I can slowly open up new areas of the ship
<DeathStar> *Snipe taps Tabetha with the gun* You can join us
<Seraphna> **Tabetha smiles** Good. I missed you.
<Seraphna> Jaime> So much code…
<DeathStar> *Snipe gathers everyone and heads for Earth, patting her head*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "And then we cna further upgrade the PAX with new ideas!"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> A lot of code. So much stuff in the walls of this ship.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Glad you can wrap your head around it.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's our Adeline."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Myria can fill in what I cannot.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It isn't just me. *blushes*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> But it does mean this is not a dead ship
<Seraphna> Jaime> Good, it’s home after all.
