<DeathStar> I will always remember for a few weeks what it felt like to be on top. But now I must be quicker than the Stretchy one
<DeathStar> *makes 5 months of session rooms*
<ChadWinters> Need to clean out a paint brush and I'll be ready

<DeathStar> Date: 10-640.7.8
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* The Earth cruiser seems a little more put together, with it's hull being updated by Ymir, Ren, Taiga, and Chelsea, the Tiger Engine inside it. The Aquarius is also parked in the second hanger that Athena has, a much larger ship that fills practically the entire second hanger, due to it's impressive size
<Seraphna> **Some dastardly genius has painted flames on the side of the Earth Cruiser to make it go faster**
<DeathStar> *Taiga sits on the Earth cruiser, going over things and seeing how the ship tests with the Tiger Engine, while Yuki watches the two ships, and nods, deciding the Aquarius is much better*
<kalonZombee> 6*Gor shakes his head "Everyone knows lightning is faster than fire.
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuuu. Fire is best.
<Seraphna> **Ulieah looks over things, pleased so far**
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Actually the extra mass form the paint will reduce the effieincy of our sublight drives, reducing overall speed."
* ChadWinters glances down at his console, eyeing the readouts, working alongside Taiga
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Airym, do me a favor and do an internet search for "Warhammer 40k Orks"
<kalonZombee> <Gor> That's ork with a k, not a c
<Seraphna> **Angela looks over things curiously while Thena bounces around**
<DeathStar> *Yuki moves to the Marketplace to find the others, using the elevator. At the marketplace, Rachael is at Shion's Fluffy Tails, ordering food*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "A tabletop RPG is not a basis for ship design."
<DeathStar> *Sabrina is trying to convince Shion that she should have more magical stuff on her menu and Shion is listening partially, having dressed Valen up in tails*
<DeathStar> *Yuki plops down in her seat*
<Seraphna> **Another Thena is with Rachael, ordering a fish sandwich**
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Yes but if those Orks believe something hard enough they warp reality to make it actually happen
<kalonZombee> <Gor> "Red makes it go fastah"
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Orks do not exist, therefore they are losers."
<Seraphna> Si> Fire is red and therefore fastest.
<DeathStar> *Ren lifts her goggles up to eye everyone arguing, then at Taiga, who seems to have tuned them out while working on the ship. Ymir talks with Kito, who seems to be taking notes on the magical readings on the ship*
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Except lightning is faster. 6*He nods sagely
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Are the science nerds still arguing? <Yuki> Yep
<kalonZombee> <Gor> ...Airym, how dare you
<DeathStar> <Yuki> But nothing can surpass the Aquarius
<Seraphna> Thena> Well we couldn’t use it. **she pouts**
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well, if you all don't blow up maybe in the future
<DeathStar> *Yuki does a foxy grin*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *sips her tea, there since Chelsea is supervising* Well, you do have Chelsea's giant brain
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I did dare. Good day to you, sir." *turns and walks to the Tiger Cruiser*
<Seraphna> Thena> We won’t blow up! Tiggy is a geniuseseses!
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Chelsea is a genius
<Sara> * Chelsea feels the sides of her head as if worried her head is too big
<Jackieness> <Moira> *walks into Shion's*
<Seraphna> Thena> That means we have double genius power!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh God, the nerd talk came down here, too
<ChadWinters> 6Durt perks away from taking pictures of Val. 1"Nerd what now?!
<Seraphna> **Thena pouts at Rachael**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh god. *she points at Durt*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You got a crush on my brother
<Jackieness> <Moira> *takes a seat with Rachael and Thena* "Whoa, did he come out of the closet?"
<Seraphna> Thena> Durt and Valen have special boy love?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Look at the way he's drooling while taking those pictures and insisting he have tails
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Please. One. Way to young. Two. I raised you guys practically. That's even more wrong
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Congratulations on coming out!"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *she touches her chest* They say age knows no boundaries. *she runs off to tell Durt's "sibling"*
<kalonZombee> <Gor> <...Does he realize he's around Gitari?>
<Seraphna> Thena> Boy love is almost as good a girl love.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina eyes Durt and slowly moves her seat away one*
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> At least it's not me. Dodged that bullet.
<DeathStar> *the 14 year old leering a bit*
<Seraphna> **Sia and Lia pile on Sabrina**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Sorry, not in to that teacher/student/adopted kid fetish.
<kalonZombee> <Leruste> You say that, buuuuuuuut...
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I used to say that about Erica. Sorry, not into the Captain/older woman fetish
<DeathStar> *Yuki says dramatically*
<Seraphna> Cookie> When?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Oh for like 3 days
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Good for you. I on the other hand, pass.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Was this before or after I caught you making googly eyes at her?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "anywya, I'm ready for my order!"
<DeathStar> *Yuki leans back, wearing a shrine priestess outfit a lot* You're cute. *she pinches Cookie's nose*
<DeathStar> *Shion moves over* What can I get you?
<Seraphna> **Cookie huffs**
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *muses* Hm. Now actually am I the older... *she muses on a few things*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I want a milkshake and a muffaleta."
<DeathStar> *Shion goes and brings it out*
<Seraphna> **Cookie pinches her cheeks**
<DeathStar> *Yuki makes a noise, flailing*
<DeathStar> *back at the Tiger Ship*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Okay, everyone ready? *she looks at all those on board*
<Seraphna> Thena> **also there** Ready!
<ChadWinters> We can't be more prepared at this point.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I am ready to integrate with the ship's systems."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I guess so. <Ren> ....Wait wait, tell me we're not testing the engine. You said that engine needed time to get adjusted to the ship, <Taiga> Oh no, we're not testing the engine. We're testing if the ship won't fall apart in space after the hull being replaced
<Seraphna> Angela> **holds up a finger, nods at something, then nods again** Ready.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> *peers at Kito and Neekito and she puts on a space helmet*
<DeathStar> *Shion brings out the food and the Tiger Cruiser flies out into space and manages to hold together*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well then. Step 1 done.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I am reading all systems nominal... it is almost like having a second body."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Good job Airym, because over the next few days we'll be breaking you in by doing a few normal jumps across the galaxy. Get ready. *she does a normal hyperspace jump to Geyze*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *Lorelei has gathered Yuki, Erica, and the rest of the kids to her office*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hello, children. First off. *she pins gold medals to everyone. Juliet looks down at her's and Sabrina blinks* Good job on the other mission
<DeathStar> *the gold medals are really gold stars if one looks closely*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt leans against the wall, a mug of coffee in his hand.
<DeathStar> *Rachael eyes her star, playing with it. Yuki yawns, watching the holovid in the background*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Secondly, there is another crisis that Erica and Yuki will be leading the mission on
<Seraphna> **Thena salutes**
<Seraphna> **Another Thena next to her to get another gold star**
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> T-That is cheating -- right? *she looks around like a little kid*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "what's the mission?"
<Seraphna> Thena> There were two Thenas on mission! Thena needs overtime stars.
<Sara> * Erica eyes Lorelei curiously
<DeathStar> *Lorelei brings up the image of a major space station over Luna*
<Sara> <Erica> Oh boy, a mission near the cult planet *she whispers to Yuki dryly*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I managed to convince Earth to let you all handle this before Lemon's team is sent in
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Yay.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> This station is descending toward Luna and will crash in 12 hours. The people are being evacuated.
<Seraphna> Si> In other words you told Dias it was hero training?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Cult planet?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Sooooo... what exctly is the it we will be doing on it?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I will let you all and Erica decide how to approach this. And find out what happened to the station. In return, a station above Geyze and Kumen will be build if you are successful
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Isn't that a lovely deal?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> ....Wait...huh? 6He looks confused at that.
<Sara> <Erica> A colony drop? Fuck's sake. All right. Someone has to do it.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Do... do we care about Geyze getting a station?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt shrugs at Rachael
<Sara> * Erica seems to not even pay any mind to the reward, just the very clear danger
<Seraphna> Thena> Geyze friends!
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Do the kids get 30% ownership?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> You can work it out with Geyze. The kids seem suave enough
<Seraphna> Thena> Or more gold stars?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Definitely more gold stars though
<Seraphna> Thena> Yay!
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Lets go get the Aquarius warmed up
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You just sold our chance to own the station for gold stars, Thena
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Clearly she's not a team player.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *facepalms*
<Seraphna> Thena> Exactly! Gold stars!
<Sara> <Erica> I don't think anyone would consider that a serious trade. *she notes, leaving with Yuki*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Helping others is it's own reward. *Rachael throws a pillow at her head*
<Seraphna> **Cookie follows Yuki out**
<DeathStar> <Juliet> Mmmm, our own station. *as they board the Aquarius, Mireille helps power it up for them*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "...I also wish to accompany you once again."
<Seraphna> Thena> We already have best station! PAX! And Thena is princess here.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> This sounds fun
<ChadWinters> <Durt> This close Rachael. This close. 6He motions with his fingers as they board the Aquarius
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Of course. The more the merrier
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I know~
<Seraphna> **Si boards amusedly, Michelle is off with Kellin somewhere**
<DeathStar> *Yuki takes her seat as Rachael and Juliet move to find places on the bridge. Mireille hums, peering about*
<Jackieness> 6* Moira and Xeres both board the aquarius.
<Sara> * Ericai s seated, looking serious
<ChadWinters> 6Durt peers around the bridge, letting out a low whistle. 1"Fancy bridge
<Seraphna> **Cookie takes her usual place, stretching**
<Seraphna> Cookie> Ready to rock Mirei?
<Sara> <Erica> Yes, well, our ship didn't get its reputation for its bridge, but certainly the bridge reflects it enough...
<DeathStar> *As the Aquarius exits, they would see the Tiger Cruiser managing to get back in with the Mew Mew's help. The test run managed to knock a few things loose but it seems to be in piece* <Yuki> Lets do this before Chelsea realizes the adventure she is missing
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Do you wish to change the bridge?
<Seraphna> Cookie> Are we rivals with the Mew Mew now?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Oh? What did it get it's reputation for? Other than the Captains.
<Sara> <Erica> Saving worlds and cultures.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Didn't your universe only have like two worlds?
<Seraphna> Cookie> **eats a brownie**
<Sara> <Erica> You just offended Cookie so badly that she's doing drugs again.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'll survive.
<Seraphna> Cookie> It had more. And I’m always doing drugs. It keeps your loud brains quiet.
<Sara> <Erica> No, our universe had a lot of worlds. It's a shame so many are extinguished. Though evidence would suggest Maka was one of the worlds that came from our universe.
<kalonZombee> <Gor> ...Cookie, Subufu is your dealer, isn't she?
<DeathStar> *The bridge changes suddenly*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Sometimes.
<DeathStar> *becoming more high-tech and oval as they leap into hyperspace*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Am I doing drugs or did the lay out of this place change?
<kalonZombee> <Gor> Just... just don't huff chlorox like she does.
<Sara> <Erica> Yes. *she says, without specifying what she was responding to*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Mirei can change it around.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...no, I totally saw it change."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> No, it shifted. Unless they're hallucinogenics in to the air system
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Also. *she holds up a board of things the Mew Mew has done and the Aquarius*
<Seraphna> Cookie> That or this is GREAT pot brownie.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It's always fun in the Captain meetings to see who has accomplished what
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Captains have secret handshakes to know who are other Captains
<Seraphna> **Cookie blinks** Anyone want a cookie?
<Sara> <Erica> Not that it's much of a competition... Chelsea seems more concerned with making stuff than actually running missions most of the time.
<DeathStar> *Mireille plays with various layouts, one being a disco layout
<Seraphna> Cookie> Whoa, keep the disco one.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina ooohs* <Yuki> *whispers* I think we need to stop letting Mireille download new layouts
<Seraphna> Thena> **disco dances**
<Sara> <Erica> Why are bridge layouts even a thing one can download? ... Ehm, anyway, ideas for how we're going to handle this colony drop?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I think I need a drink. 6He sighs as he drinks his coffee
<DeathStar> *Mireille goes back to the normal layout*
<Sara> <Erica> I mean, worst case we can blow the station up or even pull it away but maybe there's better options.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well, it would be nice to know why it's malfuctioning.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "What are the options for actually dropping the station?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> You two are the captains, unless you want my kids to brilliant it out?
<Sara> <Erica> So, what, a captain shouldn't ask for ideas or input? That's such a male thing to think.
<Sara> <Erica> If the station drops then Luna might be toast. Impacts that size do serious damage.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> What little I know stations they have to be knocked out of orbit, right? Or the gravity controls are damaged
<Seraphna> Thena> Clearly what happened is someone littered.
<DeathStar> *they exit hypespace near Luna*
<DeathStar> *Luna's space station can be seen near Luna, looking a little brightish*
<Sara> <Erica> All right, scans. Give me the current situation, technically speaking. *she eyes it*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "We need to determine the best way to attack the situation. I also advise keeping this ship from being detected if possible."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Essentially Rachael. If it drops in to orbit, depending on the gravity, it could burn up and do minimal damage. The fact the no one's pulled it back in to orbit by now probably means it's a lost cause.
<DeathStar> *Yuki plays with the scanners* There's still some crew on board, probably essential crew. There are some systems damaged.
<Sara> <Erica> Well, we're talking about Luna here. That's the catch.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *she brings up the systems to keep the station in orbit as well as a few other key systems to help keep it up, likeyl to keep what engineers are up there busy*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Yes, this could be a large scale distraction."
<Sara> <Erica> Could be, but it's not like we'll leave the ship unmanned whatever we do...
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well, might as well comm them and see what they have to say
<Seraphna> Cookie> I’ll be here enjoying cookies.
<Sara> <Erica> God, the one time I wish we'd brought Chelsea. Okay. Okay. I suppose the plan is a rescue attempt with an away team and some engineers. Start preparing but hail them. Not a lot of time to burn, relatively speaking.
<Sara> <Erica> If it goes south we'll have to scuttle the station and hopefully get them off first...
<DeathStar> *Yuki boos and sends a message to the PAX for Chelsea to come when she can*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Thought someone said we had 12 hours.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Yeah, 12 hours. But if one thing goes wrong
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena is only good with ship controls, it is her sexy wife who can engineer.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> That time table goes to shit
<Sara> <Erica> 12 hours isn't that long when you're dealing with a big hunk of metal that might need major repairs either.
<DeathStar> *Mireille hails and a few a bit, with static the image of a person appearS*
<Sara> <Erica> Just blowing it up would be the easy choice, but I am a bit of a perfectionist at times like this I suppose, and I'd rather not needlessly sacrifice their lives even if by some odd chance they did this on purpose... *she says before the hail starts*
<DeathStar> <Man> Yes? I advise you not approach. This station is having difficulities
<Sara> <Erica> This is Captain Erica Hildegard of the Kumen Starship Aquarius. We're here to help. Please advise about your situation.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt blinks at that then scratches his head looking at Rachael. 1"Did she just suggest blowing it up with people on it?"
<Jackieness> <Moira> *slams a hand on Durt's mouth*
<DeathStar> *the man pauses, peering at Durt, be decides it must be the bad connection*
<Sara> <Erica> Any information you can give us would help right now.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Tact, 'teacher' man."
<ChadWinters> 6Durt starts talking, in muffled words
<DeathStar> <Man> We're a skeleton crew left. We're seeing if we can fix the damage to the station before we have to try to destroy it in a way to not risk Luna. But the time table before that is possible is small
<Seraphna> **Thena observed the scene around the man, clearly getting a teleport location for those that know her**
<DeathStar> *he seems to be on the aux. control room of the station*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *finally removes her hand*
<Sara> <Erica> It sounds like we're on the same page. We're going to send some engineers over and stand by in case you need a lift out of there in the worst case.
<DeathStar> <Man> Be advised we might have a saboteur on board. It feels like more and ore systems are breaking down.
<DeathStar> <Man> But it might just be bad luck and we're paranoid
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "We might need to go on the hunt."
<Sara> <Erica> Not a new situation. We're no stranger to sabotage. Thanks. We'll prepare. Yuki, assemble a team.
<DeathStar> <Man> An officer from Luna should be coming soon with experience in this sort of thing but she hasn't arrived
<ChadWinters> <Durt> And I'm just saying, sometimes my whisper voice isn't always a whisper.
<Sara> * Erica side-eyes the others at that particular remark
<DeathStar> *Yuki nods and spins in her seat to eye the others*
<Seraphna> Thena> Sounds more and more like intentional problem.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> So, "kids" who wants to go on a station that is going down and help protect the engineers
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... I guess I will. <Juliet> Space. Is not fun
<Seraphna> Thena> Sure!
<DeathStar> *Sabrina waves her hands wildly*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Jule's, this time the space is on the outside
<Seraphna> Si> I could stand to do some hero work.
<DeathStar> <Juliet> *looks at the ceiling* We could just as easily end up outside
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Captain, I wish to go and hunt for the alleged saboteur."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That's the case for any ship. 6He notes
<Seraphna> Cookie> Julie can stay here and have a brownie.
<Sara> <Erica> I'm counting on you then. I'm going to stand by on the ship in case anything happens out here or things go sideways, this time
Session Close: Mon Sep 30 20:24:56 2019

Session Start: Mon Sep 30 20:24:56 2019
Session Ident: #TAW-Session408
* Disconnected
* Attempting to rejoin channel #TAW-Session408
* Rejoined channel #TAW-Session408
<DeathStar> *Juliet eyes and takes the brownie* Okay..
<Seraphna> **Cookie pats her**
<Seraphna> Cookie> It’s the finest pot.
<DeathStar> *Mireille gets the Aquarius to hook up to the station and they lock on*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina forms her magical girl otufit and flies over and inside and Yuki and Rachael follow in*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt follows in, tossing his empty mug to the side
<DeathStar> *Yuki nods* I'll be near the entrance of the Aquarius to help radio to Erica
<Seraphna> **Thena bounces after them and Si follows as backup**
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *suits up for action and then crosses over to the station*
<Seraphna> Cookie> And I will be here. Having cake with Mirei.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I can carry big stuff, so I'll head over and help the engineering team." *heads over too*
<DeathStar> *a man greets them at the station airlock side*
<DeathStar> *the air feels stale and hot over there and he wipes his forhead*
<DeathStar> <Man> You're the help?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> The life support systems failing also?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Woooo... this place is steamy."
<DeathStar> <Man> It's seem better days, yeah
<ChadWinters> <Durt> You guys have some balls working through this stuff.
<DeathStar> <Man> We can't let it crash. So where did you want to go?
<ChadWinters> Do you guys have any idea where this all started?
<ChadWinters> *Durt*
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena protect cinnamon roll engineers.
<DeathStar> *the man thinks* Where it all started. Over the past few weeks, things here and there began to break down. *Yuki holds out her comm so Erica and those on the ship can hear*
<DeathStar> <Man> At first minor things, but then they begin to become major. We didn't think anything at first since things break down but when the major things began to break down we began to look into it
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Mostly internal systems?
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "I'm going to hunt for a possible saboteur." *checks her gauntlets* "Some should also hunt. The rest should help to repair or protect the engineers."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Hmm...If it's a saboteur, could've been just testing the systems to see what he could all affect.
<DeathStar> <Man> Yeah. I guess the person was testing to see what they could do. *the station makes a noise and the man lifts his communicator up* Sorry, need to get back to work. We're having trouble with comms now
<DeathStar> *He heads to engineer*
<DeathStar> *engineering
<Seraphna> **Thena fixes her skirt and looks around as they walk**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'd be leaning towards their being a saboteur. 6He rubs the back of his head. 1"But if they're still on this station, then they have a strong reason why.
<DeathStar> *arriving in engineering, they would find around 10 people in engineering, working on the gravity and other essential machines*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'd say. They risk being caught.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> And possibly dieing.
<DeathStar> *she wipes her forehead and Sabrina bounces and rocks on her heels. The engineers seem to be scattered all over and working all over the huge area, and no one is really looking at the other due to being so busy*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Sabrina, your bad person senses tingling?
<Jackieness> <Moira> *heads for engineering*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Bad sense? It doesn't really work that way unless you have a lot of darkness in your heart.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> And a lot of people think they're right.
<Seraphna> **Thena salutes as three other Thenas appear and start posting lookout positions**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> So it's possible to trick your senses. 6He muses briefly. 1"Well, kids, what do you think should be our first move? 6He looks at them
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Stun them all?
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "They still have a job to do."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> How many people are on the station? *she asks the man who met them* Uh... 10 here. Bob at the command center. And 5 working on other systems. So that's 16?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well, if we had a telepath like Cookie here, we could just have her scan them all. Could try kicking the hornest nest.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "But Cookie is freaking high right now."
<Seraphna> Thena> Could ask her over.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> That's true. *she grabs her comm, but the communication is having trouble just like the man said. She makes a face and tries comming Yuki*
<Seraphna> Thena> She always high, it helps her focus.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Let me get closer to Yuki. I'll be back
<DeathStar> *Rachael moves off*
<Seraphna> **A Thena escorts her, having seen this movie**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt looks over at the engineer. 1"Whens the last time you did a scan on the ship to count people?"
<DeathStar> <Engineer> Scans are having trouble. *he admits* And it's not a major problem
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Was it one of the first systems to go?
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Communications and scan issues? Could there be a jammer on board?"
<DeathStar> <Engineer> Not the first, no
<DeathStar> <Engineer> But in the top 4
<ChadWinters> <Durt> What order did they fail?
<DeathStar> <Engineer> After all the probing attacks, I'd say... *He talks with another engineer, after so long pointless debating that drives people nuts, the turns back* The systems that keep us in orbit around Luna, the back up systems, the third systems are systems that would let us try to course correct, and then scanning
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Hmmm. 6He peers to see if Leruste came along
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Primarily systems that would result in this station dropping to Luna. The last was likely to prevent detection."
<Seraphna> Thena> Yep. Sounds like Sabatoge.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That's what I was thinking, Xeres.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *is busily putting ribbons on Leruste, making him a magical boy*
<DeathStar> *Rachael returns with Cookie*
<DeathStar> <Racheal> I found Cookie
<DeathStar> <Rachael> And I found this lady
<DeathStar> *she motions at a stern woman*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Leruste, head back to the Aquarius and ask Erica to scan the ship for life forms. Take away us and the 16 the Engineer said. 6He looks at Cookie. 1"Wonder girl. Feel around the ship for brain thoughts.
<Seraphna> **Cookie waves**
<Sara> <Chris> You didn't "find" me. *she notes deadpan* I was looking for suspicious characters. Instead I found you lot.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "You seem familiar."
<Seraphna> **Cookie nods and starts scanning thoughts for anything off**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You say to-mae-to. You say to-mah-to
<DeathStar> *I
<Seraphna> Thena> Hey Chrissy Chris!
<ChadWinters> <Durt> You found her on this station?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Or the Aquarius?
<Seraphna> Thena> You know it’s Chrissy cuz she never ever smiles.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina hands Leruste a rod* Go my magical boy.
<DeathStar> *she pushes Leruste off*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "In the meantime, some should stay to keep an eye on the engineers here. We should locate the remaining five technicians and this 'Bob', whose name is suspicious."
<Seraphna> Thena> Never ever ever.
<Seraphna> Thena> Never met a good Bob.
<DeathStar> *one of the engineers eyes Chris and frowns a little*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> You know what, doesn't matter. 6He looks at Rachael. 1"So, we've come to the conclusion of a saboteur being the best chance.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh my.
<DeathStar> *deadpan*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> My bra being drenched told me that
<Seraphna> **Cookie keeps scanning each mind**
<DeathStar> *Cookie would find all of them focused on their tasks, though one really hates the sight of Chris*
<Sara> * Chris notes this strange glance given to her by an engineer and keeps an eye trained on him now and then
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Going to ignore that. The ship scanners are shit, so what do you think that means?
<ChadWinters> *stations*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> If you ask me, someone on here is sabotaging more stuff in secret
<DeathStar> <Rachael> While these fools fix the main problem
<Seraphna> **Cookie zeroes in on that one, seeing as Chris looks just like Sunny**
<DeathStar> *a timer is on the wall before it's the point of no return to fix the station - despite the time being 10 hoursish before it hits, the "repair" problem is more like an hour*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Think it's an extra one running around or one that's part of the crew
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'll go find these other crew people then. *she heads off*
<Seraphna> **Cookie peers over what his task is and if it matches what he’s focused on doing**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Thena said one of your you's with her
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "I too shall hunt." *heads off as well*
<Seraphna> **Thena bounces off with Rachael**
<DeathStar> *he appears to be repairing the main engine that keeps the station in orbit*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Sooo... any new faces before stuff started breaking?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *mues* So we're hunting 6 other people. Joy. *she walks the hallways*
<DeathStar> <Man> Hm. Yeah, the past year 4 new people joined
<ChadWinters> <Durt> They still on the station?
<DeathStar> <Man> 3 of the mare
<Seraphna> **Cookie continues monitoring thoughts, but keeps special focus on that one**
<DeathStar> *he seems focused on repairing the stuff, and giving dirty thoughts on Chris - apparantly he was a Sunny fan*
<DeathStar> :)
<ChadWinters> <Durt> They among...6He motions at everyone here.
<Sara> * Chris looks over the man's shoulder, watching him work
<DeathStar> *the man peers back at Chris, slipping up on something and zapping himself* You mind? *the engineer asks, a young man* I'ma working here.
<DeathStar> <Man> Uh. *he glances, pointing at the man Cookie is monitoring, a woman* And uh... Hm. Fredrick isn't here
<Sara> <Chris> Quality control. Wouldn't want a bad job. *she seems to be wearing Sunny's old police badge, maybe it belonged to their father at some point or maybe she has just found it useful*
<Seraphna> **Cookie looks to the others** <<This one was a Sunny fan.>>
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Fredrick? Any idea when you last saw them?
<DeathStar> *the man glowers a little at Chris* Nice badge. Take that off your sistera after you killed her? Prize of some sorts? *he mutters*
<DeathStar> <Man> Hm, no. He was working on lesser systems
<Sara> <Chris> You know, that kind of attitude isn't a good look on a working man.
<Sara> * She looks back at the others for just a moment
<DeathStar> *the engineer glowers more*
<DeathStar> *Rachael stops in on Bob first with Thena*
<Sara> <Chris> We clearly all love Luna here. It was my home and Sunny's home and my father's. Just focus, please.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Any point on why he'd be working on lesser systems?
<Seraphna> Thena> Hello Bob!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Everything okay up here, Bob? <Bob> I'm thinking we'll have to cut and run soon. *He seems to be trying to get the command center up and running*
<DeathStar> <Bob> It's a shame...
<DeathStar> *The engineer nods* ... you're right. I apologize.
<DeathStar> *He nods his head and works, apologetically*
<Seraphna> Thena> What is needed to get it back up?
<Sara> * Chris seems satisfied enough with this unless the man does anything else weird of course
<Seraphna> **Thena quietly listens to his thoughts as she talks**
<DeathStar> <Bob> If the others can get at least 2 of the main systems working, I can get the control systems to link in
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *looks for the remaining five techs*
<DeathStar> *he seems to be telling the truth*
<DeathStar> *Rachael nods and looks around* Okay
<Seraphna> **Thena nods to Rachael*^
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Thena, tell your other Thena that's with Rachael to look for Fredrick
<DeathStar> *Xeres finds a few, all working unmolested so far, each working on things like comms, or life support*
<Seraphna> **A second Thena appears next to Rachael** We need to look for Fredrick!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... *jerks* F-Fine
<DeathStar> *she walks around, trying to find someone, pulling up a dossier*
<Seraphna> **The Thenas salute and one stays to guard Bob**
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *glances at the work being done by each*
<DeathStar> *they all seem to be doing good work.*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> So the bad guy is...*she looks dramatic*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Fredrick the bad!
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> (might not be bad)
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *comm* "The work done by the remaining five technicians appears to be adequate."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Maybe. 6He shrugs. 1"But the highest likely
<DeathStar> *Rachael and Xeres soon find all of them except the 5th one, Fredrick*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm not finding the last guy
<ChadWinters> <Durt> And where the hell is that fast Leer. He should've had Erica scan the station by now
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Then we have a suspect. We must find him quickly."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Magical Boys take time
<Seraphna> **Cookie feels out over the station for the unaccounted for mind**
<DeathStar> *at that moment Yuki steps in*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Erica says to look here
<ChadWinters> <Durt> No gold star for him.
<DeathStar> *Yuki points at a computer room*
<Seraphna> Thena> I get 5 stars for 5 Thenas.
<Seraphna> **Cookie looks over to the computer room and scabs**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I just hope there's no long term damage. 6He winks at Thena as he moves for the computer room
<Seraphna> **scans
<DeathStar> *Sabrina grabs Chris and the others and moves for the computer room; Rachael once she gets the information also heads that way*
<Seraphna> Thena> Nah, I’m well under my limit.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *also heads to the computer room*
<DeathStar> *the computer room, once the entire group arrives, would find it locked and made to look like it is unaccoupied though Cookie would find someone in there*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Looks closed
<DeathStar> *Sabrina lands with her passangers*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Someone is in there.
<Seraphna> Cookie> I could scramble his brains from here if you’d like.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Then we need to bypass the lock and get inside. Oh wait...Thena, do your teleport thing and just you know. Whatever.
<Sara> * Chris uses her knife to try to burn the door mechanism open
<Seraphna> **Thena nods and teleports past the door to unlock it**
<DeathStar> *as Thena tries to teleport, all the Thena get shocked and become one, leaving her laying there fried*
<DeathStar> *smoking comially*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "That was a strangely specific boobytrap."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... *nudges with her foot*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Do that thing Cookie...6He eyes Thena smoking
<Seraphna> **Thena squeaks and falls over, twitching**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Seem's a teleport jammer is up.
<DeathStar> *Chris' knife begins to burn it and the door's defenses tries to destroy the knife, but since the door is already melting a burning knife*
<Seraphna> **Cookie muses and tries her scramble on the mind inside**
<DeathStar> *it cancels each other and Chris opens it*
<Seraphna> (Stun effect)
<Sara> * Chris pries the door open
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Glad I did not open that
<Seraphna> **Thena mewls**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves over to try to force it open if it still needs it*
<Sara> <Chris> Glad someone had a heat knife. *she notes dryly and proudly*
<DeathStar> *Cookie manages a good roll, somehow and inside the find the man drooling*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Everyone get ready to move in quick
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *slips inside and looks for any more bobotraps*
<Sara> <Chris> Freeze, drop your weapons, put your hands behind your head, and get on your knees! *she gives the whole spiel as they bust into the room, before pausing when she sees the man unresponsive*
<Sara> <Chris> The fuck happened here?
<Seraphna> Cookie> He’s a little braindead.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Cookie fried his head..." *looks over at Cookie* "...totally overdid it."
<Seraphna> Cookie> It wasn’t the thought that kills!
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Looks like I don't need to get my hands dirty anymore. I can just wave Cookie and Thena around as weapons.
<Seraphna> Cookie> That’s for people who take my stash.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Clear. Check for what he was doing with the computers."
<Sara> <Chris> That's... inhumane... *she notes, honestly looking uncomfortable*
<DeathStar> *the computers seem to have been hacked into the cameras all over the station, and he has a viruses set up to attack and destroy the systems and bring them down*
<DeathStar> *the man is drooling nad they see posters of Sunny up and Smiling Suns*
<DeathStar> *however, oddly, it lokoed like once everyone was off the station he planned to reverse the damage and "take" the station in the name of the Smiling Suns*
<Seraphna> Cookie> He’ll be fine.... after a lot of therapy.
<Sara> <Chris> Even for someone whose mind is already that far gone, jail is the right answer, not... this...
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It is a little dark...
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *pets the man* We will help you
<ChadWinters> <Durt> What a twat. 6He snorts. 1"Well, atleast we've stopped his shit work. So now the crew can undo it."
<Seraphna> Cookie> Normally that just makes people senseless for a few minutes.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "He's a vegetable!"
<Seraphna> Cookie> One time it made someone think they were a chicken for two weeks.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Whatever... I'm heading back to the ship." *turns and heads for the dockign hatch*
<Seraphna> **Cookie tilts her head** Must have been prexisting damage.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> So he will be okay soon?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Really?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Alright
<Seraphna> Cookie> If he doesn’t recover soon.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That's what people tell themselves when they over do things. 6He whispers to Rachael.
<Sara> * Chris ushers an engineer in to work on undoing the damage
<Seraphna> **Cookie muses and touches the man’s head to check**
<DeathStar> *thanks to Chris bringing in help and the computer, they soon use the viruses to help restore systems*
<DeathStar> *much like the man intended to do once everyone ran off the station*
<DeathStar> *the man soon recovers and begins to talk, though not all the way quite way - will likely need a little word therapy*
<DeathStar> *quite right
<Seraphna> **Thena whispers** This is why we let her stay high, you should see what she can do when really keyed up.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> But I'd say everyone did a good job today.
<Seraphna> Cookie> There. Naughty man.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I just want to know how the man thought they could hold onto the station
<ChadWinters> 6Durt eyes Thena. 1"You recover quickly for someone who just got the shit shocked out of them
<ChadWinters> <Durt> In all reality, he wouldn't have, but he clearly believed he could.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *pulls Thena into a painful hug* Good job~ *puts ribbons on* I dub you magical girl
<Seraphna> Thena> I am standing and talking. I’ll need a full day’s rest to use my powers again.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "The station is not particularly defensible. Requires resources to maintain."
<Seraphna> **Thena purrs** Yay!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> So basically the guy was insane
<DeathStar> <Rachael> So what was his end goal
<DeathStar> *she peers at Chris*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Maybe he really did have brain damage before I started?
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Possibly ideological. A chance to show that their movement is capable of symbolic success."
<Sara> <Chris> Claiming the station for that smiley fuck cult I guess.
<Sara> <Chris> Just to say they had it.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Well, that's the job of whoever interrogates him.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> .... I don't get people. Well, he's all yours, Chris
<DeathStar> *she nods, moving off and leaving the man with Chris. He leans back and eyes Chris, babbling something a little*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> You never will, Rach.
<Seraphna> **Thena smiles and uses Sabrina’s help to get back to the ship**
<Sara> * Chris eyes him and tries to make out the babbling as she starts to cuff him
<DeathStar> *it probably seems a little like he's trying to praise her, probably thinking she's Sunny - probably due to being out out of it*
<DeathStar> *Yuki peers up as the team arrives on the ship and Sabrina and Rachael sits down. Juliet finishes another brownie*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well look at that, Erica. They didn't need to blow it up
<Sara> * Chris leads the man out to her shuttle, expression flat. She hates that kind of crap, but it's her job.
<Seraphna> **Cookie heads back, sighing** Yuki, I made the bad man dumb again... **she takes another brownie**
<Sara> <Erica> Yeah, well, that's always the hope, you know, to not have to blow anything up.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> He probably already was dumb
<DeathStar> *Yuki pats her head*
<Sara> <Erica> Sometimes going as far as shoving entire planets out of the way to avoid blowing anything up.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Okay.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> How many have you eaten, Jules?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...let's get back so I can taker a bath."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I remember that time. That was fun times
<Sara> <Erica> Scary as hell, but it comes with the territory.
<DeathStar> *Rachael nods; Mireille begins to hyperspace them back and soon the Aquarius is coming out in front of the PAX.*
<Seraphna> Thena> I’m gonna get 5 gold stars!
<DeathStar> *Landing in the hanger, Ymir, Taiga, and Chelsea are waiting in front of Erica, Ymir with a catty grin*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> That doesn't look ominious at all
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *hugs onto Erica, as if protecting her
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Foreboding maybe.
<Sara> * Erica simply salutes
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Momma is eyeing you. Becareful
<DeathStar> <Taiga> One to two weeks.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Try to free up up your schedule.
* ChadWinters stands off to the side, drinking his tea. 1"If they don't push it to hard."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We're going to do a test run of the Tiger Engine
<Sara> <Erica> Oh boy. Suppose we need some fire-ships. *she half jokes*
<Sara> <Erica> Anyway, the crisis at Luna is solved. It was that whole emoji gang again.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *pats Erica* Well, you'll be making history for a second time. You'll be going to the Unknown Regions to look around assuming it doesn't blow up
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And coming back home
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Ah. I think I've heard about them
<DeathStar> *she peers at Kito and Neekito*
<DeathStar> <Ymir> They are all smiles
<DeathStar> *Neekito and Kito tilt their heads, confused*
<ChadWinters> Hopefully it doesn't fail when they arrive in the Unknown Region. Well it shouldn't in theory.
<Seraphna> Ulieah> We’ll be brining home Kaely soon, I can feel it.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That's the plan, Uli.
<Seraphna> **Ulieah nods**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Baby tests. Erica will go to the Unknown Regions and test the engine. And see how it feels to be in the Unknown Regions. From what I've read, the Unknown Regions can be weird
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Strange Planets, space can be weird in places
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But now the Dark Ones SHOULD be dead, it should be safer
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So just see how it does, and come back. And we'll run some tests on the engine and go from there.
<DeathStar> *Taiga thumbs up*
<Sara> <Erica> We are probably going to die *she says quietly while looking at Yuki*
<ChadWinters> It was interesting there at least. 6He nods in agreement with Taiga
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Hey, babe. You said you like to go to unknown places and see unknown things
<DeathStar> <Yuki> The Unknown Regions are it in this world. No one has ever managed to map it
<Sara> <Erica> I'm not saying no, *she notes*
<DeathStar> *Yuki leaps and hugs her* Come on. Lets get and kick it's ass
<DeathStar> *lets get food
<ChadWinters> We've mapped some of it, so we should probably load that on to the ship. 6He taps his chin as he wonders who has it
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That would be helpful.
<ChadWinters> I'll talk to your mom, see if she knows where it ended up.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'll load it into the Aquarius and the Tiger Cruiser. *she seems to be smirking, as if knowing that Aquarius will be going out there one day
<DeathStar> -END-
