* Xanatos has joined #TAW-Session414
<Jackieness> ...what shpw? c.c
<DeathStar> You never watched that show?
<Jackieness> What show? @.@
<DeathStar> I guess it might be a bit after your time
<DeathStar> By a few years
<DeathStar> You're a 80s kid like me
* Jackieness flops
<Jackieness> Was this a Nickelodeon show? .-.
<DeathStar> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=US-WKYA89Ig&ytbChannel=Defunctland
<DeathStar> Yes
<DeathStar> Legends of the hidden Temple
<DeathStar> I caught Legend sometimes and from what I remember
<DeathStar> Like maybe 5 people ever finished that temple
<Jackieness> I think I actually saw this a couple times.
<kalonZombie> Nah there were a bunch of winners
<kalonZombie> Like 25% of people who went through it finished it
<Jackieness> Granted, I grew up on Double Dare .-.
<kalonZombie> Unless you were on the red barracudas
<kalonZombie> They literally never won, I think
<DeathStar> I watched double dare, this and uh...
<DeathStar> There was one other game show I liked
<DeathStar> Where a bunch of kid groups competed
<DeathStar> Doing various challenges
<DeathStar> That was about it
<DeathStar> Anyway I don't think Sara will be joining us
<DeathStar> Since she is in Arizona
<Jackieness> Tay
<DeathStar> So lets go

<DeathStar> Date: 8.6.5999
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* The Aquarius is currently under upgrades in the hanger and parts are seen all over the place, with Yuki and Mireille staring at it worriedly and Mireille flailing at times as if she is the one having her own limbs being removed. Meanwhile, Lorelei's team is meeting at Lorelei's office, with Rachael doing her nails, wearing black clothing and armor right now
<Jackieness> <Moira> *eyes Rachel a bit*
<DeathStar> *Juliet drums her fingers thoughtfully on the table while Sabrina hums. Lorelei has Yashna present, going over star charts and other things*
<Seraphna> **Thena sits in a gothic Lolita dress and watches Rachael**
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin sips from a cup of coffee, while Valen picks at something on his arm.
<DeathStar> *Rachael glances up, offering some nail polish* Want some?
<Seraphna> **Michelle sits back with her coffee, yawning a bit**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Not really sure if black is my color." *looks over* "Is it my color?"
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *stands to the side attentively*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Pale and black. You never know
<ChadWinters> 6Durt leans back in his chair, an open book covering his face
<Jackieness> <Moira> "*holds out her hand* "Do my nails then and see how it works out."
<DeathStar> *a cat balances on Thena's head, purple colored*
<DeathStar> *Rachael does so, while Lore looks up*
<Seraphna> **Thena pets Rio and smiles**
<ChadWinters> 6Cel idly looks over her datapad.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Alright. While the Aquarius is upgraded so we can go into the Outer Regions again, we will deal with some problems here at home. We'll begin to probe the Erusians and see how compromised they are still with the rogue shapeshifters. I believe we determined last time their number was low
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> So between the Erusians, the Tsivrixsh, and the Serpent cult, they cannot have a lot of people and need to have them in key places
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "Ibelieve that their ability to act openly is also constrained by the density of telepaths in the Ascendancy."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We'll start here.
* SaraPhone has joined #TAW-Session414
<Seraphna> **2nd Thena appears in Lore’s lap** Yes, telepaths can be tricksy!
<DeathStar> *she points at some major "outposts" used for defense and monitoring the Tsivrixsh and the Outer Regions* These are key locations for the Erusians
<Jackieness> <Moira> *blows on the black nail polish that Rachel applied*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Can we...GET into there?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> If they act funny we can at least weed out the shapeshifters here and see who install loyal people to Yasha. As for getting into them... *she motions at Yasha*
* SaraPhone has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<Seraphna> Thena> We could ask nicely!
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "Due to historical events, the Ascendancy as a whole has become virtually a fortress relative to the other major empires." *brings up one of the outposts* "We can still walk int rhough the front door if we do things properly."
<DeathStar> <Juliet> Does that ever happen for us?
* SaraPhone has joined #TAW-Session414
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Worse they'll do is turn us away from the place, right?
* SaraPhone has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> My hope with the Erusians is to help Yasha get a foothold here and while we're dealing with the Outer Regions in the Aquarius after it's finished being upgraded, we'll come back and learn she has gotten some support on the low
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I do not want to waste months like with the Cartel
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "If the facility has not been infiltrated by a shapeshifter, we would merely be denied passage. If we are dealing with hostiles, they may act with a violent response."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei stands up* I will be joining you; lets go
<Xanatos> <Valen> Goth squad, roll out. 6* He motions to Moira and Rachael.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt snorts awake a bit and the book drops off his face. 1"Sounds good."
<Seraphna> **Thena hops off her lap and rejoins, the one true Thena carrying Rio with her**
<DeathStar> *Rio rides along while Rachael studies Valen* Hm. *she muses and walks along. Sabrina tilts her head* Goth? Is that a monster?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "No, Valen is just being stupid."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Just being me, ba-beee. 6* He chuckles to himself and hops up to walk out.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *nods and moves along with the team*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "At least he admits it."
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin muses and sets his cup aside then walks along after them.
<DeathStar> *as the team walks along Lorelei taps her face in thought* <Lorelei> I suppose we should use Iceheart's ship. It is smaller and we can use it easier than the Tiger Cruiser
<Seraphna> **Michelle walks with him**
<Seraphna> Thena> That and it isn’t held together with scotch tape in places.
<DeathStar> *she notes as they arrive in the hanger, the Tiger Cruiser in the corner and gathering dust*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt and Cel walk along.
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "An Earth cruiser would also be viewed with more suspicion as well."
<Seraphna> **Sia and Lia have built a fort on it, and written “Fort Kitty” on it**
<DeathStar> *Taiga pokes her head out of the Aquarius and shakes a fist at Sia and Lia* What are you doing to my Tiger Cruiser?! Get off my ship, you damn kids!!
<DeathStar> *it sounds comical, her words coming from her tiny body and young voice*
<Seraphna> Sia> Making it more awesome!
<Seraphna> Lia> We added a jacuzzi!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Maybe you should upgrade it so we cna use it for real work again."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...though a jacuzzi does sound pretty good too..."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It's always a shame to see ships gather dust.
<Seraphna> Sia> We will make it awesome!
<DeathStar> *Lorelei knocks on Iceheart's ship and after a moment Ruby Carter peers out, her hair a mess and tired. Explaining the situation, Ruby moves back up into the ship and after a bit Iceheart has cleaned herself up and powered the ship up. Juliet and Sabrina find seats and Rachael finds one as well. Lorelei sits near Iceheart in the cockpit*
<Seraphna> Lia> Fort Kitty the Mobile Base Ship!
<DeathStar> *Taiga throws a rubber wrench that won't hurt at the two*
<DeathStar> *Then goes back to the Aquarius to work on it*
<Seraphna> **They scatter and peek out another port**
* SaraPhone has joined #TAW-Session414
<ChadWinters> 6Durt and Cel both take a seat
<Xanatos> <Valen> Wait we aint taking the one with the jacuz? 6* He sighs as he find a seat.
* SaraPhone has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin whistles to himself as he moves towards the bridge
<Jackieness> <Moira> "No, its been mothballed." *sits and straps herself in*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> At least until Taiga has time to repair it
<Seraphna> **Michelle straps in as Thena sits with Rio**
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Her focus is on the Aquarius
<Seraphna> Thena> Iceheart not have hot tub for sexy times?
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Ad the Majestrix said, an Earth cruiser, even an older one, would draw unwanted attention."
<DeathStar> *Rio peers out the window*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Knowing that woman? I wouldn't be shocked
<Seraphna> **Thena sends a message to Heaven about getting a hot tub for their ship**
<DeathStar> *Iceheart lifts off and begins to fly them and leaps into hyperspace. Lorelei studies space charts as they go nd Sabrina peers about*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> We should play a whole game. *she pulls out cards* Go fish?
<DeathStar> *wholesome
* SaraPhone has joined #TAW-Session414
<Seraphna> Thena> Strip poker?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt eyes Thena oddly. 1"You're an odd duck."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> That's not wholesome!
<Seraphna> Thena> I is an odd Princess!
<Xanatos> <Valen> No the game is called Go fish. Not odd duck.
<Seraphna> Thena> Strip Go Fish?
<DeathStar> *Sabrina deals out the cards to everyone, huffing at Thena*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Y-You're a naughty person!!
<DeathStar> *Rio tilts her head as if that was obvious*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yeah no naughty people allowed!
<Seraphna> Thena> I’m naughty but a good girl too.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Oooh. She wants her cake and wants to eat it too.
<DeathStar> *Iceheart on the bridge sips coffee, trying to wake up and Lorelei muses*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Nothing wrong with being a naughty and bad girl
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *shrugs*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *looks at Rachael* "What?"
<Seraphna> Thena> What is more good than free love?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Just saying. Got any 5's?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I wish you kids wouldn't have gone through this rebelious stage. It pains me so
<DeathStar> <Juliet> Because you have no idea what to do?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hands a 5 to Rachael.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "What are they talking about?"
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Maybe you should've raised them better.
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena can’t rebel. Already royalty.
<DeathStar> *Rachael nods to her brother*
<Xanatos> <Valen> We didn't get enough of our angst out on the dumb tree. So we gotta keep pushing it now. Any 3s?
<DeathStar> *Sabrina hands over a 3*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt slumps.
<DeathStar> <Rio> Thena will be the best Empress. The best naughty Empress. *she nods, then runs from her Mistress*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin hums a bit as he sits there, watching Iceheart struggle to stay awake.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Long night?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Hell... deal me in."
<Seraphna> Thena> Hmmm... the Naughty Empress... I like!
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Basically. *she goes into doing trade deals, Freyja stuff, keeping Aschae in check since she's helping her and Lenneth find Lenny, Aschae trying to start a Famfrit/Aurit thing*
<Seraphna> Michelle> I sometimes forget about that girl.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I wonder why Lorelei sent her here to help you. 6* He asks rhetorically, giving Lorelei a smirk.
<DeathStar> *Iceheart grunts
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: Date: 10-640.8.8 (note to GM make sure to fix that date above to this date)
<DeathStar> Location: Iceheart's Ship
<DeathStar> 6* Iceheart brings them out of hyperspace after traveling a long while - thankfully her ship has a lot of stuff to keep people entertained. Up ahead is the "outposts" that Lorelei mentioned, an essentially protection system area to watch the Tsivrixsh and the Outer Region of threats and problems
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> I have to admit I've never been to this place
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> But it serves an important job
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> The Dark Ones came from the Outer Regions and the Tsivrixsh are no pushovers themselves, neighboring the Erusians
<Seraphna> **Thena nods, seeming a bit serious for once considering what they saw out in deep space**
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "This is also the first bbulwark agaisnt the unknown for the Suisen Empire alliance."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Neat place
* SaraPhone has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<Xanatos> <Valen> How big are their guns?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Well. If Yasha is right and this place has tech from the Suisen Empire and the Erusians
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Bi
<DeathStar> *Big
<Xanatos> <Valen> Ooo. So I won't be doing the talking.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Please don't.
<DeathStar> <Juliet> Why didn't we ask Athena to teleport us here then. <Lorelei> I am sure any teleport we do on the PAX is sent to the Empress' new lackey - Ao's daughter
<Jackieness> <Moira> "No kidding."
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Also accessing the teleporter network would leave data traces."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Also teleporting is cheating.
<DeathStar> *Iceheart gets closer*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Cheating. Right
<Seraphna> Thena> Empress might still be a little sore that Mommy spanked her.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Then why is it Athena hides her face?
<Jackieness> 6* A signal patten is transmitted to the ship's comms.
<Seraphna> Thena> **paws cutely**
<ChadWinters> <Cel> That's a good question, Rachael
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> *peers down at the signal*
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "Please grant Xeres access to your comm systems. She must acknowledge the signal."
<DeathStar> <Rio> Fashion statement
<DeathStar> *Iceheart shrugs and flips a few switches* There you go
* SaraPhone has joined #TAW-Session414
<ChadWinters> <Cel> Eh, that's questionable.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *nods and goes through the comm data before transmitting another data pattern back*
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "My clearances would be too high and could raise suspicion." *spoken as if an explanation*
<Jackieness> 6* Another pattern is transmitted back.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "We have been granted passage. Welcome to the Erus Ascendancy."
<DeathStar> *Iceheart flies them into where they have indicated* Lets see what this outpost place looks like
<Jackieness> 6* Rising before them is a spire like station, sprouting like an artificial tree from a planetoid asteroid.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt let's out a low whistle at it
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Nice!
<DeathStar> *Iceheart lands in the spire and powers the ship down*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Well step one is done. We just need to find the person who runs the station now and determine their loyality
<Xanatos> <Kellin> You know, I can't remember the last time I was around Erusian buildings.
<DeathStar> *Rio waves> My firsT!!
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Me too!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh I always go to them
<Xanatos> <Valen> Step 2, I get arrested so bad the person who runs the place has to come and give me a talking too.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well get to it then
<Jackieness> <Moira> *smacks Valen on the back of the head*
<Seraphna> Michelle> Well his plan at least takes into account that he'll get in trouble.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen jerks and rubs his head.
<DeathStar> *Rachael steps off the ship and looks around and Iceheart stays back on the ship* <Lorelei> Well we need to reveal Yasha is alive but the timing will be critical.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "No itnerstellar incidents."
<Jackieness> <Yasha> "Xeres, you shall be my eyes and ears. Go and be careful."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Their reaction is what will reveal who they are - since Sabrina has trouble locking onto Hunters
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Yes, Majestrix." *moves to disembark*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt peers around as Cel steps down after the group
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> S-Sorry
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Xeres, can you lead the way in this place?
<Xanatos> <Valen> It's okay, you'll get better at it someday. 6* He looks around, then puts his hands into his pockets, just in case.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin gives a peace sign to the group, leaning on the ship, waiting to protect Yasha if he needs too.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Yes, I can. Follow me and do not wander off. The defense forces are heavily automated, so you cannot talk your way out of trouble." *gives valen a meaningful look*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *pats Valen*
<DeathStar> <Juliet> This deal gets better and better
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods and walks along the platform with Xeres*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *makes her way down the corridor, a round, tube-like structure broken by round hatches at irregular intervals that circle the perimeter of this section of the spire. Eventually they arrive at a round platform*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen squints as he looks around.
<DeathStar> *Rachael fiddles with her datapad, boreD*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Stand here, please."
<DeathStar> *Sabrina ooohs and looks around and Juliet tries to walk stiffly, not wanting a hole in the head*
<DeathStar> *then jerks to a stop.*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *nods*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *steps on to the platform* "Its all curvy and vertical everything."
<ChadWinters> 6Durt rests his hands behind his head as he stops.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe they're making a statement
<Seraphna> **Thena stops and pulls Rio to her, while Michelle stops too**
<Jackieness> 6* A bubble forms aroudn the group as the platform dissolves beneath their feet, carrying them downward*
<DeathStar> *Rio jerks and leaps onto Thena*
<DeathStar> *Rachael finally pauses in her datapad game*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ...
<ChadWinters> 6Durt's eyes dart around the place. 1"What the what?!"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hm. *she murmurs in thought at that and nods a little*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Do not be alarmed. It is a transport field."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It reminds me a little of the PAX's older transport tubes you can take
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Minus the bubble
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I think it's a perfectly normal reaction to be alarmed at first.
<Jackieness> 6* The bubble arrives at another level and dissolves as the floor forms back beneath them. Xeres steps off and passes through another chamber, this one busy with activity.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *she motions* Due to teleport back log sometimes if you want to move between floors you can take the stairs or the transport tubes. Riding on a platform that sinks into the floot and rides down chutes along the PAX
<Xanatos> <Valen> I felt like the water spirit on Geyze had me trapped.
<DeathStar> *Rachael goes back to her game and Juliet and Sabrina look around* <Lorelei> So what is our destination?
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena used to play in the back corridors of the PAX.
<Jackieness> <Erus Officer> *steps forward and looks over thr group* "...what is this?"
<DeathStar> *Rachael glances at Valen to see what he says*
<DeathStar> *as does Sabrina and Juliet*
<Seraphna> *as does Thena and Michelle*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen goes to respond, but stops when he sees all eyes on him and he slinks back behind Rachael
<DeathStar> *Lorelei has faith in her Valen and does not look*
<Seraphna> **Thena paws at the officer** Hello!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Fffffff..."
<ChadWinters> 6Durt snorts out a single ha laugh at Valenl.
<DeathStar> *Rachael pats his head*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *steps forward* "This is a diplomatic mission from the Suisen Empire. I have been appointed to escort Princess Thena and her attendants on her tour."
<Seraphna> **Thena puffs up and does the signature Paw Paw of the Princess**
<Jackieness> <Erus Officer> "I'll need to clear this. Please make yourselves comfortable." *steps away to jin a couple of the other Erus personnel at a desk*
* SaraPhone has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<Seraphna> **Thena wiggles** See I am the best Princess.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Maybe one day, Valen, you can be a pretty princess
<DeathStar> *Sabrina considers and holds out her wand*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yes! Do it!"
<Seraphna> THena> Will give him Princess Makeover back home.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Done. Bring it on.
<Seraphna> Thena> Eeee!
<Seraphna> *Thena leans over** Gonna make you beautiful.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well after Thena is done you might be an heir to the throne
<Seraphna> Thena> Hmm, will have to ask Heaven if we need a Royal Jar Opener.
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "...do we have ny other psions in this group?"
<Xanatos> <Valen> I built a throne on the tree. So I rule there.
<Seraphna> Thena> Mayyyybe. I am a mysterious Princess.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> A tree you hate
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Cookie isn't here...
<DeathStar> *Lorelei muses*
<Xanatos> <Valen> We have a love-hate relationship.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Is that what you wanna call it?
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "I'm a primary telekinetic. My telepathy is limited to empath."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> What do you need a psion to do?
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "...listen for non-Erusian thoughts coming from an Erusian."
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "But we shall have to make do."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It might work. Unless the shapeshifter is able to mimic them well
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I have an idea. *Lorelei turns and her kitsune features appear, something she rarely has out unlike Taiga*
* SaraPhone has joined #TAW-Session414
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks, watching her.
* SaraPhone has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<Jackieness> <Erus Officer> *approaches them* "The current watch commander wishes to meet you."
<Seraphna> **Thena bounces** Okay!
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *she winces a little, and looks a little unsteady a moment, before she whispers and Tsukiyomi's name, her 7 tails spreading out. After a moment the moon goddess appears behind Lorelei and Lorelei has her kitsune appearance vanish; thankfully it looks like Tsuki was always in the group*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... Okay. *she licks her lip where she bit it a little, nodding*
<Jackieness> <Erus Officer> "Please follow me." *turns on his heel and moves past the checkpoint and through another corridor*
<Seraphna> **Thena skips, smiling**
<Seraphna> **A second Thena peeks out of Lore's tails**
<Xanatos> 6* Valen waves a bit at Tsukiyomi as she appears, then follows along.
* SaraPhone has joined #TAW-Session414
<DeathStar> *Lorelei walks along, her tails gone now, having gone back to her "normal" appearance* <Tsukiyomi> So, may I ask why I was called? *Lorelei whispers something in her ear and Tsukiyomi listens. Juliet and Rachael stare at her just appearing*
<Jackieness> 6* They are led into a round room lined with built-in sofas. An impressivly realistic holographic display of the space around the outpost floats in the middle of the room.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I would be the lazy god that would ignore summons.
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> Some do
<Xanatos> <Valen> Those are my kinda people. 6* He ooos at the holo display and moves to look at it.
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> *she leans forward to whisper to Valen* It's actually not that hard to become a God. Don't let anyone know that
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi winks*
<Seraphna> **Thena lounges on a couch and purrs**
<Xanatos> 6* Valen pauses and goes wide eyed.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei looks around and Rachael muses, clicking her nails in thought*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *spins like a kid and Juliet sits down*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What?"
<Jackieness> 6* Moments later, a tall Erusian woman with deep azure skin and dark red hair, worn in a ponytail, steps in from another round doorway.
<ChadWinters> 6Cel tilts her head a bit at the color contrast.
<Seraphna> **Thena paws** Hello!
<Jackieness> <Erus Commander> "I am Tana Valaa, primary duty officer here. We were not expecting you."
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi smiles at the woman, her aura appearing to be a normal human woman; those who know her would feel nothing godly from her*
<DeathStar> *it's like she's completely masked herself*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "I have been appointed to acocmpany the Suisen princess on her diplomatic tour through the Ascendancy."
<Seraphna> Thena> Surprise visit! Wanted to see how the outposts are doing. **She hops up, her voice still cutesy, but with an edge that can only be called... Royal**
<Jackieness> <Tana Valaa> "We have nothing on our schedule. I will need to report this to the capital."
<Seraphna> **Thena nods** That will be fine! So, can we have a proper tour?
<Jackieness> <Moira> *whisper* "Soooo... is she or isn't she?"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen blinks after staring for a bit in thought and looks to Tana.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Ooo, I like your hair.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei watches the exchange and Tsukiyomi, having her head propped up, watches her keenly*
<Jackieness> <Tana Valaa> "I am going to have to deny your request until I hear otherwise. The technology in this outpost may be jointly develoeed with the Suisen, but it is sitll a secure facility."
<Jackieness> <Moira> *elbows Valen* "Hey, are you crushing on this one yet?"
<Seraphna> **Thena nods and rocks** Better make your call then. Would be bad to keep a Princess waiting around. **She paws and winks**
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> *whispers* It is hard to tell. I am not a mind reader by any means but I can get a feel from an aura. Valen might be a good chance . The more you throw someone off the better I can see their true aura
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> Of course if this is the real deal you might all get in big trouble
<Jackieness> <Moira> *whisper* "Go get her, tiger." *shoves Valen forward*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina blinks, curious what the whispering is all about*
<DeathStar> <Juliet> I got a bad feeling..
<Xanatos> <Valen> Uh oof-Hi. Sorry we should've called ahead of time. That's my fault, I was in a hurry to get this trip started. Wow-you have nice eyes.
<Jackieness> <Tana Valaa> *just stares at Valen* "...you do not look like the princess."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *to Tana* Before we go, do you have a facility for my brother. He needs a special operation and I heard you all might provide it. He wants to become a pretty princess. You know, for Thena. Since she's into girls. *she eyes her nails*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yeah. I'm...the lover obviously.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Erusian technology is amazing
<DeathStar> *Rio puffs up and eyes Valen, taking this seriously*
<Jackieness> <Tana Valaa> "We do not provide those services here. Please remove yourselves or I will have you removed."
<DeathStar> <Rio> *Tackles Valen and rolls*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Thena, she's cute, think we-ACK 6* He's tackled
<Seraphna> **Thena tilts her head, looking over Tana** And where should I go, miss?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Soooo... is this a diplomatic incident yet?"
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> She's your person of interest
<DeathStar> *she speaks out loud*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That the permission we need?
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *then moves, driving her fist into Tana's belly*
<Seraphna> **Thena blinks and nods** Oh... well that's a pity, she seemed pretty enough.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen instantly jumps up, his hands crackling with templar magic but he pauses since Xeres is quick.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Becareful. Hunters do not go down easily
<Seraphna> **Thena nods and forms motes of hyperspace that float about the room**
<DeathStar> *Tana is hit and shapeshifters a bit into something larger, picking up Xeres easily over their head*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Well the real Tana has to be alive out there
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> For them to maintain their ship
<DeathStar> *shape
<Seraphna> **A Mote lower down blasts at the Hunter's legs**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Ya, I still have a scare from the last one. 6He moves forwards towards it.
<DeathStar> *Rio mrrrs and powers up with electricity, aiming at Valen - or the shapeshifter. One of them*
<Xanatos> <Valen> SAME TEAM. 6* He dives out of the way
<DeathStar> *Rio fires at the shapeshifter. The mote blows the leg and he drops Xeres but it reforms and the electricity hits*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina begins to fire blasts and the Hunter begins to march forward toward Rio and Sabrina, grabbing their heads and throwing them at Thena*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *hits the ground and rolls back into a ready stance*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Is there a beach to bury this guy in?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt steps in after the hunter throws the two and throws a guick jab towards it's gut
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi watches, only going to intervene if asked*
<Seraphna> **Thena then expends a mote behind the Hunter, firing for the back, each mote seems to fade after it uses it's blast, the Thena seems shocked and eeps at Rio and Sabrina, before poofing away into nothing after they collide into her**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We're in space." *draws her sword and does a wide run aroudn before charging at the Hunter's backside witha vertical slash*
<Seraphna> **The Real Thena peeks out of the fox tails again** That was close!
<Xanatos> 6* Valen hops up and does some foot scuffing before forming the electricity again then throws it out to lash onto the hunter's arm to try and hold him back.
<DeathStar> *The Hunter after all the attacks begins to slow down and seems to be moving slower*
<DeathStar> *it moves toward a communication system*
<Seraphna> **MIchelle sighs and pulls out her folding bow, knocking an energy arrow to it and fires at the Hunter's Head using her guided Kinetic Shot**
<DeathStar> *stretching it's hand*
<DeathStar> *the head explodes and reforms on it's shoulder*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *forms her warp blade and thenleaps at the Hunter, aiming at its neck*
<DeathStar> *the head is cut off and reforms on it's side*
<DeathStar> *the hand grabs the switch and the communication system begins to power up*
<Seraphna> **Thena tosses a remaining mote at it's arm, forming a blade with it to chop the hand**
<ChadWinters> 6Cel moves in, electricity arcing off her body as she swings her blade for it's hand, aiming to cut it off
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We need to do an attack that will take out more of it's body in one go. *the hand is taken out*
<DeathStar> *the Hunter looks annoyed, forming a new hand from it's mass, reaching out*
<Seraphna> Thena> I can but it'd be messy... could just... form a bunch of hyperspace motes in the same space it's body is in.
<Seraphna> Thena> Should I?
<Xanatos> 6* Valen forms his shield and runs forward to activate his 'shield everyone' ability to keep it at bay.
<Seraphna> **Michelle forms another arrow and fires at it's hand again**
<DeathStar> *The Hunter etyes Valen*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Smart move, Val. 6He swings another punch for the Hunter's head this time
<DeathStar> <Rachael> One moment. *She begins to summon her magik while Valen keeps it at bay and Sabrina and Rio begin to channel their magik to smash it at athe same time, dodging Durt*
<DeathStar> *Juliet just stabs it now and again*
<Jackieness> <Xeres> "Then stand clear!" *forms a singularity and slams it into the Hunter* (Warp Fields)
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Let me know when I need to move.
<DeathStar> *Juliet and everyone leaps back*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt eeps and leaps backwards into a role while Cel darts away
<Seraphna> **Thena shrugs and burns an Ability to reform her motes, setting them in the space that the Hunter is standing in**
<DeathStar> *Lorelei uses her servant ability to strength everyone's attacks and the singularity attack takes out the Hunter*
* SaraPhone has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sits down cross legged and starts instantly trying to repair his shield from the damage it just took.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Good job team
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Thena, you need to be careful with that attack of yours
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> One day you'll regret overusing it
* SaraPhone has joined #TAW-Session414
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Hoo boy that I almost got wrecked by that...6He motions to where the Hunter was
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *lets out a deep breath*
<Jackieness> 6* The hatch opens and an armed Erus Officer and several human-sized combat mecha storm the chamber.
* SaraPhone has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<Jackieness> <Erus Officer> "What is going on here?!"
<Seraphna> **Thena smiles** It's the Cloning that's a real risk, all the motes are are how I blast my hyperspace!
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> ... Well here's where we get in trouble and help there was cameras
* SaraPhone has joined #TAW-Session414
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *leans on Xeres* We need Yasha and she needs to set up operations here
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We know this place is shapeshifter free.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt raises his hands up
<Jackieness> <Xeres> *nods to Lore* "Tana Valaa was replaced by an imposter. That was the true purpose of our visit." *steps forward* "Share my thoughts a moment."
* SaraPhone has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<Jackieness> <Erus Officer> "Very well..." *raises a hand to Xeres and then eyes snap open, reaching for comm* "Put the station on lockdown immediately. Prepare to receive the Majestrix."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *pats Xeres* Good. Now when we come back hopefully Yasha will have a nice set of loyal followers for when we go deeper into the Ascendency.
<Xanatos> <Valen> I wonder if one of those nerdy types can take a break from the ships long enough to help me make my shield last longer or at least get easier to repair.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'm sure one of them will be glad to repair the savior of the Erusian Ascendency
<Jackieness> <Moira> "fffffff"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'll fix it for you. Just give me a hammer
<DeathStar> *Rio mrrrs at Valen as they all step out, watching him closely*
<Xanatos> <Valen> ... 6* He squints at everyone
<DeathStar> *Sabrina takes the shield and nods* I'll help!
<DeathStar> *she runs off like a kid*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> And there it goe
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Ooh maybe she'll make it so it transforms you into a magical girl
<Xanatos> <Valen> Never going to be the savior of anything again.
<DeathStar> <Juliet> ... You think she can do that?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I want to watch that."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *watches Moira, then Thena* Huh. *she pulls her brother along* Don't worry. I'll protect your manhood. Well what's left of it
<Seraphna> Thena> Now.. does he turn into a Magical boy, or will we have a Valen-Girl form?
<Xanatos> <Valen> People really like the idea of me becoming a girl.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I know. Follow me. Do not look back
<DeathStar> *she drags him to the ship*
<Seraphna> Thena> Well Rachael is cute so you likely would be too.
<Seraphna> **Thena takes Rio's hand and walks back with her**
<DeathStar> -END-
