<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei sits with the group in Shion's place since Valen has a job there, sipping a drink and musing and looking over some things. Taiga is not with them, having been in the hanger almost every day. Rachael keeps ordering various things, just to amuse herself to watch Valen come over in the outfit that Shion makes her employees wear
<Seraphna> **Si sips a shake and fuuus**
<DeathStar> *Juliet yawns, eating some peanuts, there with the team today since Zegretta is not around lately and she's been pulled to help fill the team's numbers. She plays with her blonde hair, looking bored*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> You're right Rach, this is quite the sight to see.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We do have to pay for this, Rachel."
<kalonZombee> <Gor> ...Is ketchup a shake made from a tomato?
<Seraphna> Si> Maybe?
<DeathStar> <Racheal> It's worth it
<ChadWinters> 6Durt slowly eyes Gor, wondering if he's touched in his head.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt then shakes the thought gone. 1"I'd even pay extra to see it."
<Seraphna> **Truth orders only the best sandwich, which she calls the Wyrd Submarine**
<DeathStar> *Lorelei studies the menu - it's mainly a sub like place, with some other dishes on the side that Shion seems to know having been taught by Isis over the years, making it more of a place that serves a variety of things*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Ketchup is a condiment to go on top of other stuff."
<DeathStar> *Shion prepares the sub and puts it on the counter for Valen to bring out to the others*
<Seraphna> Si> It’s also a fruit and therefore ketchup is a jelly.
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Ketcup is magical, apparently.
<Seraphna> Michelle> We have the most interesting conversations.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...whoever told you that is a liar."
<DeathStar> <Juliet> Or the most boring
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Nah, I'm just smart.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It's a toss-up Moira.
<Seraphna> **Thena appears in Moira’s lap** Hi!
<ChadWinters> (Juliet not Moira)
<Xanatos> 6* Valen has a bow tie and a tartan vest, he brings out more stuff that Rachael ordered, giving her a look.
<DeathStar> *Rachael beams to Valen, taking it and eating it*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Just be glad you don't have to wear tails like this place is named after
<Xanatos> <Valen> We'll see who's laughing when I've got a fat stack of cash and you're broke as a joke.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Wait, what? He's not wearing the whole thing?!
<Seraphna> Thena> Oooo! Shion that’s a great idea! Tails!
<Jackieness> <Moira> *nudges Rachael* "Drop something and have Valen pick it up."
<DeathStar> *Shion pauses and muses on that*
<DeathStar> *Rachael raises an eye at that* He is my brother you know
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Feel free to do it yourself though
<Seraphna> **Thena paws a Moira**
<DeathStar> *Juliet finishes her drink, eyenig them all*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen does his best not to complain about the tail idea else he risks Shion making him do it, he just chews on his chaw a bit, eyes narrowed at Durt.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt shows Rachael different tails on his datapad
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hm. *she seems to be listening to something in her ear, likely listening to galactic comm links*
<DeathStar> *Rachael blinks and snorts in laughter*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *steps into the cafe and takes a seat with the group*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Shion. Do you mind if Valen cuts his shift early. <Shion> Sure. He can just make it up later if he wants. *Lorelei nods and peers at everyone* I might have something. We should go to the hanger
<ChadWinters> 6Durt looks up from his datapad. 1"Oh? Sounds exciting."
<Seraphna> Thena> Oooo. **she hops off Moira**
<Xanatos> 6* Valen perks up and smiles at Shion, moving into the back to change out of his suit.
<DeathStar> *Juliet lets out a sigh of relief and Rachael pauses and eyes all her food, then grabs it and begins to carry it out of the Fluffy Tails*
<Jackieness> 6* Moira and Xeres both rise to leave.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt hops up from his chair and moves after the group, sending a message to someone
<Xanatos> 6* Valen runs out last, trying to catch up with the group.
<Seraphna> **Si bounces after them**
<DeathStar> *making their way to the Athena's hangers, they would find the ancient EarthGov ship being worked on still. Ymir and Taiga are still there, having gutted out a section of the engine area to put in the Tiger Engine. Kito and Neekito are aiding in the process and Yuki is monitoring, perhaps curious how this will all play out. Ren is even monitoring, perhaps reporting back to Cran and giving tips. The entire area of the hanger looks to be a mess; they also seem to be trying to reinforce the ancient hull*
<kalonZombee> *Gor follows Si
<Jackieness> <Airym> *is also assisting by upgrading key systems*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei studies the work with a half look as she heads for the other part of the hanger where Iceheart's ship is located, while Taiga curses and as a pieces of the hull lands on her tail and a giant space spider is on the loose - it looks like complete chaos over there*
<Seraphna> **Si points to a pile of red paint cans** That will make it go way faster.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... they okay over there?
<Xanatos> 6* Pepper is helping on the ship but mostly in a gopher capacity.
<ChadWinters> 6Chad seems to be working on the ship also, a slightly tired look on his face
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Not as fast as the lightning bolt decals, dear
<Seraphna> **Cookie battles the space spider**
<DeathStar> <Juliet> I hear those space spiders try to lay eggs in your skull.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> So what's up, Lore?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Skull!?
<DeathStar> *Juliet nods*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin glances up as they approach, looking at a datapad.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well if that's the case, Valen might want to stay away what with all the space he has up there.
<DeathStar> *as they reach Iceheart's ship, Iceheart has already powered up* <Lorelei> There's a distress call for aid for any ship willing to help. If we get there fast enough you all can be the first on the scene and get good experience. After all it's been a while since you all have done anything like this
<DeathStar> *Lorelei walks up the ramp and Rachael pauses* <Rachael> We haven't.. .really done anything like this
<Seraphna> **Michelle moves over and kisses Kellin on the cheek, looking things over**
<Xanatos> <Valen> .... 6* He slowly holds a middle finger up into Durt's face.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin winks at her and then walks up the ramp.
<Seraphna> **Thena skips on, as does Si**
<kalonZombee> 6*Gor follows Si on
<DeathStar> *Juliet buckles into the living quarters area of Iceheart's ship and Iceheart moves over to the cockpit*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> You have not, but we've trained you for many situations, you can do this.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt reaches to grab it
<Seraphna> **Michelle steps on with Kellin, grinning a bit**
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> The more experience you gain, the better. Besides, since it's a distress call, other ships might arrive over time to help out, so there is no reason to panic, I am sure. *she smiles*
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena once destroyed two ships while in Space!
<DeathStar> <Juliet> You know this is the opposite of destroying
<Jackieness> <Moira> *buckles up* "...why is she with us again?"
<Seraphna> Thena> Saved third ship! And then the mercenaries made me their Boss.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> So we just need to save one of their ships and they'll make us their leader. Wonderful
<DeathStar> *Rachael leans back as Iceheart exits the PAX and enters hyperspace*
<Seraphna> Thena> Well, they started out trying to kill me... so progress right?
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *straps in* "I have spacewalked before. Rotate around your center-of-mass or you might get ill."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei casually makes a call to someone*
<Xanatos> <Valen> So...like...what if they have those head spider things?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'd suggest making sure they don't try to breed with your ear holes
<DeathStar> *Lorelei peers to Kellin, speaking softly so the others cannot hear the two* I contacted back up in case the kids have trouble
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Use your rape whistle."
<Seraphna> Thena> Just close you’re ears, like this! **she puts her hands over her cat ears**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Just tell them you're not their type
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Don't they cling to your face and put their business in your mouth?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin nods slightly. Looking amused.
<Seraphna> Thena> Seems rude.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ... 6* He looks nauseous
<Seraphna> Thena> Ask them buy you drink first.
<DeathStar> *after a bit, Iceheart's ship exits hyperspace and the coordinates are sent to all of their datapads - they are surprisingly not far the Sol, Geyze/Kumen's system. Only 3 jumps away. The system seems to be normal so far*
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Trying to locate the distress signal
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So did the distress signal include any details?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Yes. One moment.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei brings up the information on the datapad. The call includes the person saying that their hyperspace engine suddenly malfunctioned and threw them out of hyperpspace, resulting in multiple systems failing. And life support is slowly failing and the ship is drifting*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Until we get the ship I suppose we won't know what caused the failure.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin moves to a terminal to bring up a scan of the ship, to verify the reports.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Scanner's picking up the ship anywhere?
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I'm still looking. One moment.
<Seraphna> Thena> Is probably the one being all malfunctiony!
<Xanatos> <Valen> W-we have to fix a malfunctioning ship?
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "I advise you to be wary of external forces at work."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> There. I found it. *she brings up a ship that is being pulled into a planet's atmosphere, a large planet with stronger gravity than Earth. The scans show that it has multiple systems failing and the planet has multiple powerful storms and the gravity is unstable*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hm. Fascinating!
<DeathStar> *her tail wags*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Okay, now that we've located them, what now? 6* He turns to look at the kids.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Lumi holds her datapad upside down, then turns it the other way, then sideways*
<Seraphna> **Talia paws at it** You’ve gotta shake it so it knows who is boss.
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Hoooo. *she nods, some of her dog features showing* Hm. Hm. Hm. Wait. I don't have a ship
<Seraphna> Talia> Ship?
<Xanatos> <BIX> Warning > Shaking may damage product.
* Retrieving #TAW-Session407 modes...
<Seraphna> Talia> BIX! Make me a fishy-shake!
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Lorelei has sent us a request to send our best ship and people to this location. *she shows the location* To monitor her students and help them if they need it
<DeathStar> <Lumi> I guess that means Chelsea. Or Erica, since she hangs out here sometimes
<Seraphna> Talia> Aquarius? Mew Mew?
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Mmhmm mmhmm! Something about a distress call nearby
<DeathStar> <Lumi> Bix! I leave it to you!
<Seraphna> Talia> Time to enlist ship!
<DeathStar> *Lumi nods to Talia and Bix*
<DeathStar> *Lumi puts little starship pins on them*
<Seraphna> **Talia leaps on Bix’s head as a kitten** Tally ho BIX!
<DeathStar> *Cypher sneezes* I sense something dumb is about to happen
<Xanatos> 6* Bix blinks and stick a fist forward to march off.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Something dumb? *she asks of Cypher*
<DeathStar> *Lumi leans back in her seat, eyeing her paperwork* This leadership thing is so easy
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I call it my tingling sense
<DeathStar> *Lumi also sens Erica and Chelsea messages, just to give them a heads up*
<Xanatos> 6* Bix marches up to Cypher and Chelsea.
<DeathStar> *about Lorelei's request*
<Xanatos> <Bix> Greetings!
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Hello, Bix
<Xanatos> <Bix> Bix Needs your Assistance + Your Ship
<DeathStar> <Cypher> See? I told you. *she tells Chelsea*
<Sara> <Chelsea> ... For...?
<Seraphna> Thena> Rescue mission and backup for trainees!
<Xanatos> <Bix> Backup for: Lorelei's Children.
<Seraphna> Thena> Momma Cat mission. Watch kittens!
<DeathStar> *Cypher snickers* Hear that, Momma Cat?
<DeathStar> *Caesune peers in from the other room, eyeing Talia, not Thena*
<Seraphna> **Yes, Talia**
<Sara> * Chelsea deadpans
<Sara> <Chelsea> I was getting kind of bored, but all of my what.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> You do know that I will never drop that phrase now
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *she hums, moving to get the Mew Mew ready*
<Seraphna> Talia> Yay! Mission success BIX! We got exp!
<DeathStar> *Bonnie eyes Talia* She is a sexy, young cat. Insulting Mistress.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix marches victoriously for the ship.
<Xanatos> 6* Bix doots a little victory song.
<Seraphna> **Talia blinks** What not sexy about a momma? Isn’t that what sexy makes?
<DeathStar> *Bonnie sighs and moves to find Aimee and Mélodie* I guess that is true. *Cypher takes her co-pilot seat while the two spirits are dragged away from messing with the Aquarius*
<DeathStar> *having been trying to hammer it*
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> I think they have a grudge against Erica's ship. <Mélodie> We're better.
* Sara has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Sanyu)))
* Sara has joined #TAW-Session407
<DeathStar> *Aimée eyes Talia, as if daring her to say the Mew Mew is not better, lifting her hammer up*
<Xanatos> <Bix> Space walk possible. Bix prepare suits. 6* He sits Talia down by Aimee and walks towards the hanger part to do that.
<Seraphna> Talia> As cat familiar Mew Mew is culturally superior.
<Sara> <Chelsea> I'm... pretty sure the whole 'sexy momma' thing is just a fetish... *she mutters*
<DeathStar> *Cypher nips Chelsea's ear playfully*
<DeathStar> <Caesuna> I'll watch over things here while you're gone. *she notes, having been set up things on Geyze - being a little doctorish again over the past year or so*
<Seraphna> Talia> Talia’s kink is Gwen.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Okay. Lets go, Kitty Momma. *She pulls Chelsea onto her lap and lifts them up*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Iceheart's Ship
<DeathStar> *Iceheart studies something, likely confirming help is on the way, then peers up to see what the kids say to Kellin*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I admit space is not something I know a lot about
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I mean, it's vast.
<DeathStar> *Juliet eyes the planet and the gravity and storms, and how it's pulling the ship in* Well I do know we're on a time limit
<Seraphna> **Thena wiggles** Thena grew up in Space.
<DeathStar> <Juliet> And we don't want to get sucked in
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Is this world on any of our starcharts?"
<DeathStar> *Iceheart brings it up* Sure. It's inhabitable. It's known for it's major storms
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...um can we like...grab the ship to stop it from being sucked in?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> We're either going to need to teleport on or dock, but if those readouts are right, there's a good chance we'll be sucked in.
<DeathStar> *Iceheart brings up the planet's weather patterns, and due to it's size they can be deadly and last years*
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> My ship does do cargo runs, but remember
<DeathStar> <ICeheart> It's not a fighter ship and it's not got a lot of equipment for stuff
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Gravity anomalies may have been what pulled the ship out of hyperspace."
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena can teleport.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I might can slow it with a tractor beam. But it's not major beam
<DeathStar> *Iceheart moves in closer*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> That smart with a planet like that near by?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Maybe we should go old school, spacewalk and hook some cable up to it.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I got the suits and cables
<Xanatos> <Valen> Ok. 6* He turns and runs off to get ready for the jump.
<DeathStar> *Iceheart leans forward, frowning, looking worried*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Kid's got balls.
<DeathStar> *Iceheart uses her beam to slow the descent while Valen suits up*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "I advise you to evacuate any survivors in case the ship cnanot be salvaged."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> H-He's fuckin' crazy
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well can't let him out show me. 6He moves after Val
<Seraphna> **Thena muses** Want Thena start evacuating crew?
<DeathStar> *Iceheart tries to line up to make it easier for those*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> ... gravity is not goign to make this easy.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "And like hell I'm going to be out-awesomed by Valen!" *goes to suit up too*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> You can try to teleport but if the gravity of that planet makes your teleport go wild and you end up flying off into space, please sign here first so I am not blamed
<DeathStar> *Lorelei holds out a paper*
<DeathStar> *Juliet puts on a suit in the hanger*
<Seraphna> Thena> I just send clone of course.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Alright then
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "If there are enough spacesuits, you should probably evacuate using the cables that the other team is attaching."
<Seraphna> **Thena 2 appears, salutes, and teleports over time the ship**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt works on getting suited up. 1"Val, Moira, Jule. Make sure your suits are sealed right."
<Jackieness> <Moira> *gives Durt a thumbs up as she seals up the suit and switches to the suit's air tank*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Okay. We need to distribute the weight on these cables. Too much tension on once can make it snap. There's 4 of us so we each take a side. I'll take bottom left, bottom being thruster side.
<DeathStar> *Thena somehow makes it - but she'd still have to frakin' teleport back in those same odds*
<DeathStar> *Come at me baby*
<Seraphna> **Thena 2 checks on the crew**
<DeathStar> <Juliet> You sound like you know what you're doing
<DeathStar> <Juliet> Wow
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...I'm kind of impressed."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Kid pretends to be stupid. 6He begins dragging the cables to the exit.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I mean, I tried to lift up a table to drop on durt one time and my rope snapped.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...not impressed anymore."
<DeathStar> *Thena would find them unconscious and the ship's systems failing and critical, life support low*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ...
<Xanatos> 6* Valen grins and moves to get ready, taking a few breaths to try and calm his nerves.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin monitors scanners just in case any nasty bad people show up.
<DeathStar> *Kellin would see the Mew Mew has arrived*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Everyone ready?
<Seraphna> **Thena 2 skips to the ship systems and starts working on something to help the team stabilize the ship, since the margin of error to bring the crew back is too high**
<DeathStar> *Lorelei pushes a button* Hello, Chelsea
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Ready, and if we pull this off, I am going to want to go clubbing to celebrate not dying."
<DeathStar> *she whispers*
<DeathStar> <Juliet> Ready
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yeah...ready. 6* He tries to keep from throwing up.
<DeathStar> *Thena would begin to help working on the systems and stablizing them, bringing them up a bit*
<ChadWinters> 6Durts closes the inner doors and begins letting the pressure equalize, then once it's set, opens the outer doors.
<DeathStar> *as they exit, the atmosphere of the planet begins to pull and tug them on the cable, having gotten that close to it and Juliet and the others begin to flip about*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Use your maneuvering thrusters!"
<DeathStar> *The Mew Mew would be nearby and would see that minutes are left for the ship before it's past the point of no return*
<Seraphna> **Thena 2 taps her comms** Getting done systems back! Can try to slow the ship with thrusters?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt grabs firmly on a rung. 1"Keep a tight grip on your cable. It'll remain tethered to the ship so at the least, you won't be pulled away
<DeathStar> <Cypher> So we just going to watch?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen grips his cable and leaps out towards the ship. He jerks a bit as the atmosphere takes him but Moira's shout in his comm snaps him to and he starts trying to do a controlled fall.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Well, whatever we have to do...
<DeathStar> *Juliet begins to listen and does so*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt then lets go and kicks off, movings towards the ship, his grip firmly on the cable
<Sara> <Chelsea> I just hope they know what they're doing.
<Xanatos> <Bix> Backup = Standby. Pretend movie of high daring hijinks!
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I just help we never have to let our little ones do stuff like this
<Xanatos> 6* Bix makes an oooh sound and leans in when he sees the group jump from the ship.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei muses on what Thena said*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *carries her cable down with her as she descends toward her part of the ship*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I'm not a ship expert, but you can try. Unless Chelsea disagrees
<Seraphna> **Thena checks over the basic thrusters and calculates on what they need to get the ship to stop degrading**
<DeathStar> *the team manages to make it to the ship hull, where they would find the winds begin to try to blow them wildly around the hatch*
<DeathStar> <Aimée> Save the day now? *she bounces, getting bored*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt grabs on to the ship and begins attaching his cable
<DeathStar> *aiming weapons at the shi*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *starts securing her cable*
<DeathStar> *Juliet begins to try securing her cable, but slips and begins to slip*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen lands a bit hard and falls to his knee, beginning to slide away, he reaches out with his free hand to catch himself, laying there for a second before pushing himself up to try and start securing his.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Ow ow ow ow ow 6* He murmurs having forgotten his comm is on.
<Sara> <Chelsea> I don't really think shooting is the answer, Aimée!
<DeathStar> <Juliet> #$#$#.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What was that, Juliet?"
<DeathStar> <Aimée> Oh. What about them? *she points at a pirate ship approaching*
<Xanatos> <Bix> Danger! Should Bix intervene!?
<DeathStar> *Juliet is barely hanging on*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt turns his attention towards Juliet. 1"JULES!"
<Seraphna> **Thena keys the thrusters** Ready! Everything okay out there?
<Sara> <Chelsea> ... Those you can probably shoot, but it depends what they do.
<DeathStar> <Juliet> S-Sorry
<ChadWinters> 6Durt begins to work faster on securing his cable so he can move to help Juliet
<DeathStar> *the team manages to secure their cables one by one*
<DeathStar> *the pirate ship seems to be trying to get near the ship and begins to aim harpoons, not caring if the kids are in danger*
<DeathStar> *planning to harpoon the ship for salvage*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> That's old... fashioned
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Hey, we got company!"
<DeathStar> *Juliet grabs onto Durt as he comes over and with his help begins to secure herself, eyeing up and turns to the hatch to get inside*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves with Juliet to open the hatch. 1"Everyone get inside for now."
<Sara> <Chelsea> Sigh. I guess these AREN'T good-spirited pirates that just value freedom
<Xanatos> 6* Valen drags himself towards the hatch, looking around for some way to stop the pirates.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Aimée, go nuts
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves for the hatch to board*
<DeathStar> *Aimée beams and enters her Spirit Hatch and the Mew Mew powers up, the weapons glowing and forming claws*
<DeathStar> *Juliet helps open it and goes inside, meeting up with Thena where 4 of the crew are unconcious*
<DeathStar> <Juliet> How are we getting them out?
* ChadWinters taps his comm. "Lore, we're secure and inside now."
<Jackieness> <Moira> *joins Juliet* "They have any intact space suits in this rig?"
<ChadWinters> *Durt*
<Seraphna> **Thena 2 waves** Well with current gravity I only have 20% chance of teleporting them to safety.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pulls himself in, letting out a huff.
<DeathStar> *Melodie sits on Cypher and they fire at the pirates, keeping them busy; when more begin to join them* <Cypher> ... tch
<ChadWinters> 6Durt shuts the hatch once everyone is inside.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I think I jammed my knee.
<Seraphna> Thena 2> Probably suits here somewhere.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> More pirates just showed up.
<Seraphna> **Si watches the pirates and looks to Gor** Fuuuu.
<DeathStar> *Juliet begins to look around and soon pulls out suits* We're running out of time. *Lorelei eyes the clock* I give you all 3 or 4 more minutes max*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hurry
<Jackieness> <Moira> *Let's go looking." *goes to find enough extra suitsfor the pcrew*
<Seraphna> **Thena starts getting the crew in suits**
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Kitty Momma, should I really hurt them?
<Jackieness> <Moira> *helps to suit the crew up*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Lore, is Iceheart's ship able to pull this back at all? If we're gonna bring the crew back, bringing them back the way we came is going to be rough
<DeathStar> *Lorelei checks* She says the cables can rev you all back. So that wil lsave time
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Assuming the gravity will not slow it down
<Xanatos> <Valen> Let's do that, Thena did something with the thruster so those two things together should get us clear.
<Seraphna> **Thena 2 smiles** We can boost ship up a little to help.
<DeathStar> *Juliet finishes stuffing another crew member while Cypher keeps playing with the pirates*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Are they all suited up?"
<Xanatos> 6* Bix tries to help the mew mew by getting the next target lined up in the sensors.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Let's kick in the thrusters and reel us in, in 5 seconds. 6* He begins to count down.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Thank you. *she takes down another pirate. The pirates seem to decide that the Mew MEw would make better slavage, trying to fire harpoons at it now*
<Seraphna> **Thena 2 puts her hand on the button** Get going!
<DeathStar> *Juliet grabs onto it with a crew member. The ship begins to make noise, sections of it breaking and crunching up*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt grabs on to a crew member
<DeathStar> *Iceheart reels them back once they are all on the lines with someone and the lines strain to bring them back. They are soon back on Iceheart's ship*
<Seraphna> **Thena hits the boosters when they’re ready before vanishing**
<Xanatos> 6* Valen grabs onto a crew member too.
<DeathStar> *Rachael pulls them into the hanger with Lorelei helping them. Once they're all aboard she closes it all up* Good job, children. *she eyes the Mew Mew Ship under attack*
<Seraphna> **Real Thena on the ship peers out at the pirate ships, then holds out her hand
<DeathStar> <Juliet> They really want that ship, huh
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena destroy?
<Xanatos> <Valen> We need our gears if we're going to be much help.
<Sara> <Chelsea> These guys really are full of themselves, to think they can handle one of the finest ships ever made by our people.
<DeathStar> *Cypher laughs, taking out another ship*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt pats Juliet's head as he takes off his suit. 1"Good job guys."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Well, they envy what they don't have
<DeathStar> *suddenly the pirate ships retreat, as if something has scared them off*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Sensors now."
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Sure. *she checks* Ah. That's why
<Seraphna> Thena> Oooo.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Huh, why're they leaving?
<Seraphna> Thena> Clearly they learned that Dread Pirate Princess Thena was with you.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen is pulling himself out of his suit, he pauses to sit there and rub his knee.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "We must watch out for the bigger fish."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> You alright, kid? 6He glances at Val
<DeathStar> *Cypher makes a noise* They ran away? Cowards. *Aimée exits and makes a face when Chelsea and Iceheart gets a comm message*
<DeathStar> *Rachael rubs Valen's shoulders* You did good, bro
<DeathStar> <Voice> Looks like you didn't need our help after all.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yeah just didn't thruster enough so I hit harder than I should have.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin pauses at the voice.
<Seraphna> Thena> Dread Pirate Princess Saved the Day!
<DeathStar> *Aimée puffs her cheeks at the voice as Yuki appears on the screen, the Aquarius decloaking nearby, using it's tractor beam to save the ship at the last moment*
<Seraphna> Thena> And my sidekick Yuki!
<Sara> <Erica> Howdy, strangers. *she notes teasingly*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And when are you suddenly the Dread Pirate Princess Thena?
<DeathStar> *Cypher mouths "Haxor" about the Aquarius*
<Seraphna> Thena> Is long harrowing tale.
<DeathStar> *saving the ship*
<Seraphna> Thena> Filled with chase scenes and lots of explosions.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt tosses his suit off to the side as he rotates his shoulders.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And you're as crazy as a loon as ever. <Lorelei> Thank you both for being on hand. *she turns to the kids and hugs everyone who went on the mission* You did well. I am proud of you
<Seraphna> Si> The weird part is I’m not sure if she’s making this up or not.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I am ready to party!"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei smiles at Erica and Chelsea* I will be sure to thank you both personally later for your help. I hope I can call on you both again for any more back up during their training
<Xanatos> <Bix> Call on Bix!
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin moves to the crew and begins organizing getting their ship repaired and or towed to a dock.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I am too old for this. *She notes to Kellin*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* After the Distress call incident, Lorelei has invited Chelsea and Erica back to the PAX to hang out with the kids. Cypher looks around the PAX, studying it curiously while Yuki walks around, used to the place since she grew up around this place, after all
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> As promised we will take you to a place with lots of cake
<DeathStar> *Ymir waves to Erica, covered in grease and oil*
<Seraphna> **Thena bounces around, telling Rio about how she saved the day**
<Sara> <Erica> Some things never change...
<Xanatos> 6* Valen puts some ice on his knee and waits for it to get better so he can get back to work.
<Seraphna> Thena> And it was like that time we fought those three ships! Super dangerous!
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods* That is true. *they stop at Shion's and Lorelei orders the two desserts of their choice.*
<DeathStar> *Yuki leans against Erica, playing with her back, while Cypher plays with Chelsea* <Lorelei> So I have an offer for you two.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin looks over the bottom of Iceheart's ship to make sure using the cables didn't cause any hairline fractures to the hull.
<DeathStar> *the ship has definitely seem better days - after all Iceheart's ship was never meant for this kind of work*
<DeathStar> *but it's sturdier than most ships of her type*
<DeathStar> *Rachael leans and orders an alcoholic drink and sips it*
<Sara> <Erica> An... offer. You say.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Cocktail me up!"
* Stretch has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 190 seconds)
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *she peers at Chelsea* I don't want to poach you from the Alliance or the Academy; so I don't want you to think that I am. But you are a great ship designer and the PAX has technology and stuff that you have never seem before and we have people like Ymir and Taiga working here. I just wanted to offer you - in your free time - to help us work on our ships in return for you taking what parts and technology you'd like to apply it to whatever you build back at the Acadey
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Ymir claims you're a great inventor
* Stretch has joined #TAW-Session407
<Xanatos> 6* Valen stands up after a bit and moves into the back of Shion's to put on his suit before coming back out to start waiting on custoemrs.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Just think on it.
<Sara> <Chelsea> I mean, I could do that from time to time, though I fear I could put them to shame. *her ears twitch*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei laughs* That's the kind of talk I like
<DeathStar> *Lorelei peers at Yuki and Erica* You've had a year off. I know you don't want the Tiger Engine in the Aquarius, but I'd like you to think about maybe working here just like Chelsea. With the teleporter between our worlds, you could stay at the Academy and live there, and still work here. You're a great a Captain and we're going to the Unknown Regions. A place that is basically as it stays - unmapped sectors with unknown aliens
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> The dangers there are numerous and we could use your help, even if you're not Captaining the Aquarius. Something to think about
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin hmms and begins to order some work order repairs for Iceheart's ship, putting the bill to Lorelei's name, then he dusts his hands off and moves to go get a drink.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We could use the Aquarius at home and the other ship out there
<Sara> <Erica> I mean, I'll think about it. The whole engine thing... whatever. I mean, give it a month and Mrs. Sweet here will have turned that damn thing into something that actively makes a ship UNexplode, if I know 'er.
<Sara> <Chelsea> That isn't how physics work.
<Sara> * She stares
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *smiles* I'm sure Taiga will be glad for all the help she can get. *She reaches and pats both their shoulders* <Yuki> It would be nice to stay on Geyze and work here, I guess. I know you love exploring the unknown
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Don't be modest, Chelsea
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Kitty Momma that engine
<Sara> <Chelsea> ...sigh
<DeathStar> *Iceheart smiles at Kellin* Thanks
<DeathStar> *Rachael peers at Moira* You guys are nuts
<Sara> * Chelsea actually said the word 'sigh' out loud
<DeathStar> *Cypher kisses her* Teasing you
<Xanatos> <Valen> I got'cher back. 6* He holds up a peace sign.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Doing that cable thing
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Nuts~!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Someone had to do it."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I guess so.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> We've faced wanna be gods, Rach. This doesn't seem any less nuts.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei hands Chelsea and Erica little chips*
<Seraphna> **Thena in defiance of physics shows up in the ship while she’s still talking to Rio and sits in Lore’s lap**
<Seraphna> *shop
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> This will let you teleport here without waiting in the lines and VIP rooms. For when you are on the PAX
<DeathStar> *Lorelei blinks at Thena on her lap with Rio*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I guess so
<Xanatos> <Valen> Nah it was stupid. My dumb knee hurts. 6* He says as he passes by and gives another patron their drink.
<Seraphna> **Thena mews**
<DeathStar> *Yuki eats Erica's icecream sundae* mmm~. I think I'll have Chelsea invent me stuff to tease Erica every night
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> You okay, Thena?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Your knee will get better, sheesh."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Deep down inside, he's going to brag about this moment. 6He notes about Val
<Seraphna> **Thena nods** Like cute laps. Right Rio?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah. He'll use it to get laid
<DeathStar> *Rio nods*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Oh, is he going to use it as a pickup line now?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Definitely.
<DeathStar> *Cypher pauses and wonders if Chelsea actually would design such a toy*
<DeathStar> *musing on that*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei smiles and pets both their heads, going on to tell Erica and Chelsea more of her ideas*
<DeathStar> -END-
