<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> 6* Weeks have passed and many things have been set in motion. With finals coming up, Durt and Lorelei being secretive and Durt away doing stuff almost all the time, Taiga in her workshop working on the Tiger Engine and upgrading it secretively while Tora has been going over the Aquarius and "fixing it" in her words. Going along with Mireille and going through the systems (cont)
<DeathStar> 6* It seems things have been constantly in motion. As time goes on it seems Tora slowly has been unlocking systems on the Aquarius and doing stuff, unlocking hidden black boxes on it and bringing out things without telling anyone what it is she is doing, just grunting like Taiga does and doing examinations of Mireille, then goes back to it. Yuki leaning on a wall, arms crossed. Which brings us eventually to the current day, with finals just a few days away, and Tora seemingly done
<DeathStar> *Tora lifts her goggles and leans back*
<Seraphna> **Cookie offers Tora a brownie**
<DeathStar> <Tora> Huh?
<DeathStar> *The white haired Taiga eyes Cookie*
* Alicia has joined #Taw-Session441
<Seraphna> Cookie> Victory brownie.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> so what the hell have you been doing to Erica's ship?
<Xanatos> <Pepper> What makes you think we did anything?
<DeathStar> *Tora takes a tentative bite while Sen eyes it*
<Xanatos> (I can't read, ignore that)
<Seraphna> Cookie> Does it make more zoomy sounds now?
<DeathStar> <Tora> I'll explain when the Captain is here
<DeathStar> <Tora> It is her ship.
<Sara> <Erica> And what if I am? *she wanders out from the shadows*
<ChadWinters> 6Cel peers over at the ship, her hair up in a pony. Then over at Erica
<DeathStar> *Rachael meanwhile eyes her study papers and frowns, and Sabrina eyes Adeline not bothering to study, both on another floor*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Plot twist!!!
<Xanatos> 6* Peppers eats on a brownie.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Oooo, she looks mad.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan is holding a paper upside down, a little zoned out**
<DeathStar> *Mireille leaps into Erica's arms*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *goes over her study notes*
<Alicia> <Celeste> Did someone say plot twist? *wanders over*
<DeathStar> <Tora> Hello, Captain
<Sara> * Erica holds Mirei and looks at Tora
<Xanatos> <Valen> When I flunk out and become a janitor, will you all come visit me and do your best not to pity me?
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Of course
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You'd beneath me
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Hrrnnn
<DeathStar> *Tora turns on her chair and holds up her hands, using the controls and the Aquarius comes up on the screen*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I'll let you be a janitor in my studio.
<Alicia> <Celeste> Kaelan, I would like to apologise for my earlier actions. It was judgemental of me to assume ill of a fellow crewmember merely for being a Dark One.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I'll just be glad when this is all over..."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan blinks** Mm? Oh it's okay. I'm kind of getting used to it.
<Alicia> <Celeste> Really? Well, alright then. I'll be better in future.
<DeathStar> <Tora> As Erica has probably noticed
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I'm just glad to see some Templars can see through those labels.
<DeathStar> <Tora> The Aquarius is a ship that is designes to get more powerful as Erica gets used to it, unlocking systems as time goes on. And with Mireille as the ship's Spirit, the ship is designed to be adaptive and able to "learn". Meaning the ship has within it's systems the ability to get stronger
<DeathStar> <Tora> With Mireille it has a Learning System deep within it, quite advanced
<Seraphna> Cookie> !! You raised her level!?
<Seraphna> Cookie> Is there an EXP bar?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "This isn't a game."
<Seraphna> Cookie> ...So I can't class change Mirei from Awesome Ship to Super Awesome Battleship?
<DeathStar> <Tora> Nothing like that really. The ship has always been able to do that - to a degree. Even back in the old days. It probably has been stifled a little with parts being replaced and damage. Anyway, what I did was remove the caps that were normally in place
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Removing limiters? Nice."
<DeathStar> <Tora> To just bring the program out in it's fullest. Essentially, any enemy you have encountered in the future and past the system will now make adjustments.
<Sara> * Erica nods, patting Mirei on the head
<Seraphna> Cookie> So we can! Mirei! I dub thee... Super Awesome Mirei First Class!
<DeathStar> <Tora> Second, the black box systems I've begun to open a little to you Erica.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Everything is a game is you try hard enough.
<Sara> <Erica> Mirei was *always* First Class.
<Sara> <Erica> What are the systems you've been opening?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Shouldn't you take things more seriously?" <Michiru> "You can take games seriously too."
<DeathStar> <Tora> Mireille has the ability to install anything with Spirit Energy to enhance the ship. However, there are limits to that. Anything greater than her it might ,, have effects
<DeathStar> *Mireille beams at the praise*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Serious is for people who don't have brownies.
<ChadWinters> <Cel> So she may as well begin installing as much as she can to hit it's current limit.
<DeathStar> <Tora> I wouldn't advise installing everything you find laying around
<DeathStar> <Tora> One - you can only install one thing at a time
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Well, I don't have brownies."
<Jackieness> <Airym> *walks over to the Aquarius group* "Fascinating."
<DeathStar> <Tora> Anyway, the second thing I have unlocked is this. *She brings up a thing in engineering*
<Seraphna> **Cookie gives Celeste a brownie**
<DeathStar> <Tora> This is something the other group will need soon. The Aquarius - theorically - should be able to phase into other realities. For a time. I toyed with the idea at a time of getting home when I made this device.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Thanks. I guess I should relax then?" *eats the brownie*
<DeathStar> <Tora> But it takes a lot of Spirit Power. Hence the Spirit Engines
<Sara> <Erica> *to Celeste* She's probably giving you drugs.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Oh you'll find that very easy after that brownie.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *Deadpans at Cookie*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Oh dear."
<Seraphna> Cookie> I baked them with extra love... and CBD Oil.
<Sara> <Erica> Well, we also have Yulindhe of course but she can only do so much to help Mirei, which... hasn't historically *been* much.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> That CBD Oil MAY have some THC in it too.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Other than that I only helped unlock things with the guns and shields since you all have been pretty much pushed them already. *Taiga can be seen in the hanger through through the screen pushing the Tiger Engine*
<DeathStar> <Tora> .,,,
<Seraphna> Cookie> Aww, we're mixing ingredients! Best wife.
<DeathStar> <Tora> And that one claims she fixed her engine and wants to install it
<DeathStar> <Tora> No more side effects
<DeathStar> <Tora> And twice as fast
<Seraphna> Cookie> You mean... we won't be able to see the Time Knife anymore?
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Why don't you like Taiga? Does she make you feel self concious?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Yes, I am here to assist with the installation."
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Time Knife? That sounds neat."
<Seraphna> Cookie> It can be pretty wild the first thousand times.
<DeathStar> *Tora leans back* Perhaps. I just don't care to be around her. Would you like to be reminded if you were a clone when you thought you were the real one?
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Could've done without the time clowns.
<DeathStar> *Tora shrugs*
<DeathStar> <Tora> Oh well. She still rubs me wrong
<DeathStar> <Yuki> She IS my mom
<Alicia> <Celeste> "You're a clown?"
<Sara> <Erica> Look, in fairness, any of us would probably feel a bit creeped-out around a duplicate or clone of ourselves
<Sara> <Erica> It doesn't matter who is real
<Sara> <Erica> That would just be -weird-
<Xanatos> <Pepper> Real is relative.
<Seraphna> Cookie> I thought those other mes in the reality spectrum were pretty cute.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I don't think I'd be weirded out by an alternate me."
<DeathStar> *Taiga can be heard in the engineering section trying to put the big engine in*
<Seraphna> Cookie> I need to try that cowboy hat...
<DeathStar> <Tora> Good for you. *She smiles at Michiru, then to Erica* Anyway, when Geyze is ready they'll likely call on you, Captain. For now the Aquarius is yours to test out and get used to.
<DeathStar> *She stands up, probably to leave*
<DeathStar> *at that moment Lorelei's pagers for everyone goes off - calling for a meeting. Rachael makes a noise*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh thank god. *She throws her paperwork down and runs off*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> But..studying?
<DeathStar> *Adeline grunts, then just leaves*
<DeathStar> *Yuki pushes off the wall and goes to see what her aunt wants*
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...I was just figuring this out... 6* He huffs and walks out.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan hops up and grins** Good, this was getting boring.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Duty calls..." *heads out*
<Seraphna> **Thena hops by with Rio** To the Lore-Cave!
<DeathStar> *Sen bows to Erica and hands her notes on the Aquarius with all the updates and stuff it can do, then moves to follow Tora*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei sits in her office as the group warrives*
<Jackieness> <Airym> *assists Taiga with the Tiger Engine*
<DeathStar> *beside her is Durt*
<Seraphna> Thena> ...We need a fireman pole to enter with.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> *to Erica* I think I'm now the strongest ship in the universe!
<Sara> <Erica> You always were in my heart
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin steps in and sits down a bit after the kids all show up.
<Seraphna> **Michelle steps in with him.**
<Seraphna> **Kaelan takes a seat and adjusts her kimono**
<Xanatos> <Valen> You and durt get secret married?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *blinks* Hm? What?
<DeathStar> *she peers at Durt*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> He smells a little too much like beer
<ChadWinters> 6Durt shifts his hands behind his head. 1"Us? Married? I mean that'd be weird."
<Jackieness> <Moira> *just stares at Valen*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> But he is a nice person.
<DeathStar> *she nods*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So what's the big secret?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> And it's the soap I use. I swear."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> *She peers at Valen, then looks serious*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Valen... we have news...
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...oh...something bad?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Durt has been spending the past month or two looking for Vesper Dupree.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...and?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It's been slow going but...6He nods to Lore
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We have found her. On a Cartel world. But we're not quite sure you'll be happy with the results
<DeathStar> *she puts on the table some photos*
<Xanatos> <Valen> ... 6* He leans forward to look at the photos.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt's face shifts to a serious one, his eyes watching Valen
<Jackieness> <Moira> *leans forward to look as well*
<DeathStar> *is shows Vesper, doing mundane tasks, looking a little off. Even at night* She seems off. Confused; based on that I would say she has lost Dusk maybe
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> But there may be to it
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It's hard to confrim since we didn't want to make a move on her, yet.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Least she's alive..."
<Seraphna> Thena> I told her to go into hiding...
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'll go talk to her.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glances at Thena
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Alright, let us all go to the planet
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yeah, cause I want to go too."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods, peering at the others on the team - Adeline, Zeg, Hotaru, Michi, etc*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> You can come or stay. We'll be back as soon as possible
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I will remain then.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hopefully we don't have to beat down some baddie.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I'll come on the ship but hold it down as backup while you all go off. No sense overcrowding.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> We're not expecting anything confrontational but everyone should be prepared just in case.
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> Location: Lame Cartel World
<DeathStar> *The Aquarius exits tiger space with no problems, and Yuki opens her eyes slowly*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I-I saw nothing
<DeathStar> <Taiga> See?! I told you!
<DeathStar> *Taiga cackles, looking a little wild*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "As Taiga told you, the drive has been stabilised."
<Seraphna> Cookie> I kind of miss the Time Knife now.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Why?!
<Jackieness> <Airym> "However, Taiga needs to get some sleep."
<ChadWinters> <Cel> You are an odd duck, Cookie.
<DeathStar> *Taiga shakily brings out a notebook* I can make more inventions. Just you wait
<DeathStar> *she sips a drink that smells pure caffeine*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> *takes notes*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Are you drinking Omega Coke again?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Tig. You should take a moment for yourself. A little decompression will do you wonders.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> M-MayBE...
<Sara> <Erica> Yikes.
<DeathStar> *Taiga hisses like a fox and leaps up Erica*
<Xanatos> 6* Valen stands ther with his arms crossed, having not said much since the pictures.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "This place looks weird."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Should I bring us down? There is a space port
<Seraphna> **Si catches Taiga and starts carrying her off** Okay you, time to detox.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *grabs onto doorways, refusing*
<Seraphna> Cookie> Did we unlock beaming tech!?
<DeathStar> *before being dragged off*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Unless there's a shuttle on this thing that they can use. Would be cheaper at least.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> One moment
<Jackieness> <Airym> *grabs afirst aid kit from under the bridge console and walks over to stick Taiga with a sedative*
<DeathStar> *Mireille spreads her arms out markers appear on the floor*
<DeathStar> *Taiga slumps*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Aren't lasers already beaming tech? Ooh, nice."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Now you may take her."
<Seraphna> **Si nods and carries Taiga off**
<Xanatos> <Pepper> What are you doing Mire?
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Omega Coke is deadly.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Is it me, or is she acting a little off?"
<ChadWinters> 6Durt kneels down, eyteing the markers. 1"I assume teleporters?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan moves over to a marker.** Are these telepads?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I heard Omega Coke is addicting
<DeathStar> <Mireille> If you stand on those spots
<Seraphna> Cookie> Yep! That's why I never mess with the stuff.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> I will personally scramble your moleculres and teleport you to the planet
<Seraphna> Cookie> Wouldn't want to become an addict. **she noms a brownie**
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... *peers at Erica, wondering if a shuttle is better
<Sara> * Erica inclines her head to one side thoughtfully
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "So, where are the shuttles?"
<DeathStar> *Mireille slumps*
<Xanatos> <Valen> Do it. 6* He says as he steps on the marker.
<Sara> <Erica> If we had Jelly I would send him through first
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...can we like... just jump?"
<Seraphna> MIchelle> That does sound kinda... scary.
<DeathStar> *Mireille beams and Valen begins to break apart piece by piece. Rachael stares fascinated*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It's no different than the PAX teleporters I imagine.
<DeathStar> *then vanishes*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...oh heck..." *takes a breath and moves on to the pad* "I'm not gojng to be shown up by Valen."
<ChadWinters> 6Durt stands up and moves to stand on one
<DeathStar> *Moira then breaks apart piece by piece - soehow her breasts are last*
<Alicia> * Hotaru also steps onto a pad. Michiru pauses, then follows.
<Sara> * Erica sighs as she steps on. "Well, 'to boldly go' and all that..."
<DeathStar> *they all begin to go down; Erica and Airym get confirmation they are all whole on the planet*
<Xanatos> <Valen> How much maths are you having to do for this? 6* He asks Mire, looking curious.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "They appear to be alive and intact."
<Sara> <Erica> Good... but I feel like there'll be more confidence if I'm willing to try it myself.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yep... all here. Count your toes people.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Alright then. My turn." *follows*
<DeathStar> *Yuki and Rachael step on and are broken down to the planet; Mireille answers Valen through comms*
<DeathStar> <Mireille> I am using *she states a complicated math equatation that seems to go on and on*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt pulls out his datapad, tapping on it then behind his ear, listening to something or someone.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei is teleported down and joins the others*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "..." *turns around and checks herself* "... ... ..."
<Xanatos> (That was meant to be kellin but that works)
<Seraphna> **Kaelan counts her tails**
<Xanatos> 6* Valen glances himself over then look to Lorelei and Durt.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Which way?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> She should be this way. 6He glances around to make sure everyones with and starts walking
<Seraphna> **Thena bounces along, putting on a construction paper goatie**
<DeathStar> *Yuki checks her tails* I think a few hairs are missing
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena may be her own evil twin.
<DeathStar> *Rachael walks along and Lorelei peers at Thena, then forms her weapon*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I'm fiiine! Oh no, EVIL!"
<DeathStar> *Thomas studies himself, then checks to make sure his junk is there, nodding*
<Seraphna> **Thena splits into two and inspects herself** Ah, I see the issue, the evil goatee is just construction paper. We're good!
<DeathStar> <Mireille on comms> Am I being picked on?
<DeathStar> <Mireille> You all can walk back
<DeathStar> *Yuki leans against Erica* I have to admit, being able to teleport is a nice feature
<Alicia> <Celeste> "That's a long way to walk, even for a legendary hero!"
<Xanatos> 6* Valen walks along after Durt, glancing around at this place as he goes.
<Seraphna> Thena> Now you all know how cool it is to be me.
<Sara> <Erica> It will give us a strong tactical advantage in some situations
<DeathStar> *they seem to be in a poorer part of the neighborhood for a Cartel planet - where it seems the rift raft were unable to make it big. They live in low rent housing*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "This is like the total oppsite of wher eVesper used to live."
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Last place you'd expect to find someone.
<Seraphna> Thena> Yes, very good hiding out territory.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I keep saying, no one wants to search the slums.
<DeathStar> *they soon reach a house where a woman is hanging out laundry - the clothes looking worn and ratty, the woman looking tired and a little dirty. It definitely looks like Vesper*
<DeathStar> *so far she hasn't noticed them*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt nods to Valen, pointing. 1"Everyone stay back for now."
<Seraphna> **A single Thena stands there and nods**
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Alright."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen continues walking and pauses just within sight of Vesper. "Ves?"
<DeathStar> *the woman pauses, then turns at the name - at least she recognizes the name, then studes Valen a little blankly. She looks run down a little* Hello?
<ChadWinters> 6Durt leans against a post, glancing at Lore briefly, some concern on his face.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Valen. 6* He points to himself. Remember?
<DeathStar> *The woman studies him a little warily, then pauses, as if considering it* ... that name is familiar. *She holds her head, wincing in pain* Sorry. I'm not well. Valen. Yes, I do recognize that name. From where. *she mumbles, as if it's just out of reach* Oh. Oh. *she nods slowly* Valen. *she turns to face him, still looking tired and without energy* It is good to see you.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Hopefully he can convince her to come with us so we can examine her proper.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Can I...we...take you to a doctor? If you're not well, you need treatment and medicine.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...I'm really sorry I didn't check in on your more, I feel like whatever has happened is all my fault.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *crosses her arms*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods* <Vesper> *laughs darkly* I've seen enough doctors in my lifetime. They all say the same thing. I'll be dead within the year. *She resumes folding the laundery* Though it is good to see you are well. <Lorelei> It is odd how she acts like she knows Valen yet it feels like other things are off
<Xanatos> <Valen> Crappy cartel doctors maybe who are only interested in profit. 6* He steps up onto the porch and holds out a hand.
<Seraphna> **Thena muses and peers her over** How long have you been here?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Do you feel anything yet from her?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...maybe she let Dusk in on purpose... to stave off some illness..."
<Xanatos> <Valen> What does it hurt to come with us?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "And now that she's gone... trminal illness came back full force..."
<Alicia> * Hotaru stays silent, not liking the situation, while Michiru attempts to feel for something off
<Seraphna> Kaelan> That's what she did, Vesper and Dusk had an agreement to extend her life.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> But... it's weird if it's come back, God changes are permanent as far as I can tell.
<DeathStar> *it is actually a good thing Michiru feels out when she does. As Vesper considers, she simply nods, moving over, then blinks at Thena, not recognizing her at first either, moving over to Valen*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It seems it is not.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> At least not to this degree
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...what if Dusk was pulled out unwillingly?"
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Valen... be careful."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It might be possible. Gartareh or someone else did it once before
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What if Dusk made sure she couldn't be questioned, like rolling her memories back?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Or she jumped bodies. But we wont' know unless she can fill in the blanks. 6He nods to Vesper
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And when that happened the other women had no memories
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Something's wrong... but I don't know what."
<Seraphna> **Thena blinks and pulls out a datapad, scanning the woman for her condition**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glances at Michiru. 1"How so?"
<DeathStar> *just as Michiru says that, an attack blasts Vaklen away and knocks Vesper on ehr ass*
<DeathStar> *yes, Vaklen*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Bro!
<Xanatos> <Valen> They're going to ask you a million questions. You don't have to answer them until-6* He urks and goes flying.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I don't..." *stares*
<Seraphna> **Thena squeaks** Rude! **she taps her dress and her tactical armor forms under her dress**
<Alicia> * Hotaru summons her scythe, looking towards where the attack came from
<Seraphna> **Kaelan looks for the source**
<DeathStar> *Rachael jerks forward and looks around when suddenly Cartel security forces land led by...Medivh*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt shifts, quickly moving to check on Vesper, his eyes looking around then locking on Medivh. 1"For christs sake. This ass hat."
<DeathStar> <Medivh> Oh ho ho. The boy did show up in this area. I can't believe he can't back to our territory to follow this woman. *Vesper blinks, looking confused*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...sooooo... what did Valen do?"
<DeathStar> *the security people move over to stomp on Valen if he is not quick*
<Seraphna> Michelle> **grumbles, forming her bow**
<Alicia> <Celeste> "You villain!"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh god, him again. *She gets her weapon out*
<Alicia> * Hotaru and Celeste move to intercept the security
<Seraphna> **Thena TK lifts one of the guards to toss into another**
<Xanatos> 6* Valen forms his shield as the stomps come in and throws his arms out to push them off.
<DeathStar> *They stumble as Hotaru and Celeste arrive*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Oh look, lovely. Your favorite people are back
<Xanatos> <Valen> He's not really a villain. I fucked him over.
<DeathStar> *she tells Erica*
<Sara> <Erica> Oh boy.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan steps into Lore's shadow and vanishes, moving through to the shades of the building**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> You alright Vesp?
<Xanatos> <Valen> I mean, he's probably a villain but his beef with me is justified.
<DeathStar> <Vesper> Y-Yes.
<DeathStar> <Medivh> Your right about that. *He steps forward toward Valen, with two guards on either side*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Oh yeah... that guy." *places a hand on her sword* "Now is not a good time, so unless you want to explain how you landed your security guys into traction, back off."
<ChadWinters> 6Durt helps her up as he looks over at Medivh. 1"Sorry for you being collateral on this.
<DeathStar> *the other 5 guards facing off against the other team to stop them from interferering. Rachael looks ready to rain down magik*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Non-lethal. 6He tells the kids.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Look, I'm not interested in fighting. So how do I make this up to you? Put the wrongs back to rights?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan is showing them the fear of god with dark one tentacles**
<DeathStar> <Medivh> ... *he pauses, considering*
<DeathStar> *The guards eye Kaelan and one looks ready to shoot her*
<Xanatos> <Valen> What demeaning thing can I do? Cause I'll do it. Her safety is more important than my pride.
<DeathStar> *they aren't into tentacle porn*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan licks her lips and readies her shield** Go on, give a reason.
<ChadWinters> 6Durt eyes Kaelan. 1"Don't do anything stupid." 6His tone is that dangerous stern one
<Sara> <Erica> Everyone. We can handle this diplomatically. *she says firmly*
<Sara> <Erica> Please do tell us if there's something we can do.
<Seraphna> Thena> Yes... we can, actually. **she smiles brightly**
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Yes, we don't want a fight."
<DeathStar> <Medivh> Fine. Since you smashed my face to bits. *he cracks his knuckles* I get to return the favor
<Xanatos> 6* Valen deactivates the shield and holds his hands out.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Let's do this.
<Xanatos> (our wide)
<DeathStar> <Rachael> A-Are you serious about this. <Vesper> ... Valen. *she reaches out to touch his arm, eyeing Medivh's eyes*
<Sara> * Erica eyes Valen, but allows him to do this if he thinks it's for the best
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Are you sure, Valen?"
<Seraphna> **Thena shifts to protect Vesper in case this gets worse and scans her again**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> How about I let you beat me to your hearts content in his stead.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves her hand away from her sword, frowning*
<DeathStar> <Medivh> *eyes Valen being willing to take it, then just walks up and punches him once with all his might and knocks him down to the ground, shaking his hand*
<Xanatos> <Valen> I owe him. What I did was shitty. He deserves payback.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Alright then."
<Xanatos> 6* Valen grunts and slides a bit on the ground.
<DeathStar> <Medivh> Fine. We are evil. *he adjusts his armor* Send money for the cost to fix my beautiful face and we will be even.
<ChadWinters> 6Durts right arm tenses as Medivh swings.
<DeathStar> *He walks off*
<ChadWinters> 6Durt then moves to Valen, holding a hand out to him
<Xanatos> 6* Valen takes Durts hand and stands up.
<Seraphna> Thena> **eyes the scan since this seems to be over**
<Sara> <Erica> Consider it as good as done, then.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> You got gusto kid. 6He pats him on the head.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Really? Thanks Erica, I owe you.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Honestly I don't, I just needed this to be over quick so we can get Ves to a doctor.
<Xanatos> <Valen> What's faster than a fight? A surrender.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So a PAX doctor?"
<DeathStar> *Vesper lets out a breath - the scan shows that she has multiple grows in her brain and body that are inoperable without taking large chunks of her brain out. And there SEEMS to be no sign of Dusk unless she is really hiding*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I'm proud of you."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Geeze brother
<ChadWinters> <Durt> That's what I mean. 6He smacks his face lightly.
<Seraphna> Thena> Let's take her to Momma Jen.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> When did you learn to stand up like that. *she lightly punches his arm*
<Sara> <Erica> *c* Mireille, I'm going to send over a reasonably-sized invoice from one Medivh. See to it that the funds are transferred if you can.
<Seraphna> Thena> She's specialized in this since she worked so hard to save Grandpa.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...to be honest I've felt guilty about the stuff that happened to him for a while now. 6* He says quietly to Rachael.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> *c> Understood, momma!
<ChadWinters> 6Durt moves over to Lorelei. 1"Do you wanna try to do your god thing to see if Dusk is still in there?"
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods and touches Vesper, focusing*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "So, I guess we're heading back to the ship? Ah, once you do that."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> .... .. I'm not getting any pings
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> So unless a God can bury themself so deep that they are "gone". Dusk is not there
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Then where is she?"
<Seraphna> Thena> Ms. Vesper, will you come with us? My Momma is one of the best Doctors in the Galaxy. The PAX has very advanced medicine!
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Either she was ripped out like Manus Dei or jumped bodies
<DeathStar> *Vesper pauses, then nods* If Valen wants it
<ChadWinters> <Durt> If she jumped, it'll be near impossible to find her unless she wants to be found.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Do you happen to know the range they can feasibly jump?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Not at all
<DeathStar> *Mireille warps them all up to the PAX*
<Xanatos> <Valen> I'll be by your side the whole time. Jen's pretty good at doctoring and we know a lot of smart people.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "What? I hadn't even started walking."
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Alright, what's wrong with the Templar?"
<DeathStar> *Vesper nods and Yuki takes a seat, her tails fluffing* <Yuki> Well, I think with this the Cartel are done. Well. Except the fact I think they want to recruit Erica
<ChadWinters> 6Durt looks confused for a moment then sighs a bit at the impromptu teleport. 1"I could have Id run through all the video feeds in the close area to see if anyone shows any signs but this will take a long time honestly."
<DeathStar> <Thomas> hm. *he jots notes* Celeste? Oh. *he pats her head*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> You can always come back and do that
<Alicia> <Michiru> "She ate one of Cookie's brownies."
<Seraphna> Cookie> She's super chill now.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Wait, my acoylte is high?
<DeathStar> *Thomas adjusts his glasses*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Ffffffff..."
<Alicia> <Michiru> "You're in trouble now, Cookie."
<Seraphna> Cookie> Maybe a little. Mostly chill.
<DeathStar> <Thomas> *shakes his head*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<Seraphna> Cookie> I save the GOOD brownies for me and Pepper.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> On my free time I will. 6He nods towards Val and Vesper. 1"Incase it's as bad as the scans show, Dusk might be are only chance
<DeathStar> Date: 1 day later
<DeathStar> 6* While Vesper is being checked out by Jennifer, Taiga sits on the PAX examining something watching the HoloVid of the Earth stuff going on
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sits in the observation area, while Kellin is also watching the news with Taiga, sipping tea.
<DeathStar> *it seems the election stuff has been pushed back a little from early December to later December while they handle some of hijinks*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So the end of the year we might have a new person running Kumen and a new person running Earth
<DeathStar> *Mireille contacts Erica to come see her*
<Sara> * Erica acknowledges and gets up to head over
<Seraphna> Thena> And one day you will have a Thena running the Galaxy.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> It's almost like it was timed this way. 6He says ominously with a smile.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Please. 6He snorts at Kellin
<DeathStar> <Mireille> I am not sure if anyone else is detecting it - but since I am so great, I am detecting a signal that is being broad cast from a spot on Earth. It seems to be going undetected so far. *she shows the pattern to Erica - it seems to be some sort of strange pattern code that is repeating*
<Sara> <Erica> Hmm... Any chance this could just be some sort of cosmic-energy fluke?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'm surprised there's even a race for Earth's President honestly.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You mean Dias? Surprised he's still running? He might drop out
<DeathStar> <Mireille> It seems to be something from Earth itself
<DeathStar> <Mireille> So I think it is man-made.
<DeathStar> *Yuki leans over Erica*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I'd heard rumors he's indecisive. But the guy has the attention span of a squirrel.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> A mystery?
<Sara> <Erica> Right, right. Sorry, I kinda skipped that part...
<Sara> <Erica> A mystery. *she confirms*
<Seraphna> **Jennifer moves over to Valen, fixing her doctor's coat**
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Should we look into it?
<Sara> <Erica> Naturally.
<DeathStar> *Yuki nods and lets people know they are setting out if they want to join*
<DeathStar> *Taiga glances and moves over to the ship*
<Xanatos> <Valen> I know it's bad. So just how bad are we talking?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Ooh Speaking of earth. 6* He moves for the ship.
<DeathStar> *Vesper sleeps for now - hating tests*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Well... it's not hopeless. She's riddled with tumors. If I were to do surgery immediately right now it would be close to impossible to fix her, as this will require brain surgery to get it all out.
<Xanatos> <Valen> If you were to do surgey right now it would be impossible...but it's not hopeless? 6* He looks confused
<Seraphna> Jennifer> I'm going to see if we can shrink her growths and take other steps to help her along before I schedule any surgeries. Maybe get one of the Spirits involved.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "So, what are the options?"
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glances at his comm then moves after Kellin
<ChadWinters> 6Cel joins in a little later
<DeathStar> *Rachael taps her arm and muses*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> And CLOSE to impossible. Which isn't hopeless with me. My father and Erevis also had close to impossible brain tumors and they're fine now. But I believe in playing the odds as much as possible.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *glances over to Rachael*
<DeathStar> *Taiga steps onto the ship and takes a seat and Sabrina joins, wearing a cute uniform*
<Xanatos> <Valen> We can do a lot of magical bullshit, can we like...grow her a new body and transfer her mind over to it?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Of course, you could always get another God into her and then we operate with that kind of help.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Officer Maka Sabrina reporting for duty. *salute*
<Sara> <Erica> Good to see you're hungry for adventure, kid.
<Seraphna> **Jennifer muses** Well... we haven't fully grown a clone body on the PAX in... well a long, long time. I could talk to Alexander though.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> The biggest downside there is she'd get sick again in time.
<Xanatos> <Valen> Would we all shrink down and go fight the tumors ourselves?
<Xanatos> (could)
<Seraphna> Jennifer> I... don't think that's real science.
<Xanatos> <Valen> ...we use magic.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> You'd have to ask a mage. My magic is more on the spirit side.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Why not both?"

Session Start: Sun Feb 23 21:20:34 2020
Session Ident: #TAW-Session441JenRoom
* Now talking in #TAW-Session441JenRoom
* ipo.esper.net sets mode: +nt
* Seraphna has joined #TAW-Session441JenRoom
* Alicia has joined #TAW-Session441JenRoom
* Xanatos has joined #TAW-Session441JenRoom
* Jackieness has joined #TAW-Session441JenRoom
<Xanatos> <Valen> Well I know you know your stuff, so I'm not going to keep standing here second guessing. But please talk to whoever you can. I saw that Xanatos guy shoot a laser out of his eye, burn his skin and then it healed back in a matter of seconds. So...maybe ask him.
<DeathStar> *Cuddles walks in wearing a doctor outfit*
<Xanatos> <Valen> And uh....I'll look into shrinking magic.
<Seraphna> Jen> Mmm, usually you want to avoid Xanatos' DNA structure. Especially now that we know there's some Legion left in him.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> I don't think he has any Legion in him
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Jaime is a weirdo
<Xanatos> <Valen> I don't know what any of that means.
<Seraphna> Jen> How's she get it then? **she looks confused**
<DeathStar> *Cuddles suckles on a lollipop like Megumi* Nothing. *to Jen* Jaime is Jaime
<Seraphna> Jen> I'm scared at how much that makes sense.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> *to Valen* Well. Brain surgery is the way and magik might help. Megumi's abilities might help too.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I can't use magik, but I am psychic if that helps?"
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...still wondering what happened to Dusk."
<Seraphna> Jen> True, any Famfrit with enough skill in Manifestation might help. **her famfrit ears wiggle**
<Xanatos> <Valen> I can manifest. I just don't since it hurts so bad.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Momma Megumi used Manifestation to practically remake Tora.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Painfully, but it worked
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> But the brain is complicated.
<Seraphna> Jen> She is especially skilled in the ability.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> So the brain and memories have to go somewhere
<Seraphna> Jen> The body could work, we'd need time to alter her genetics to prevent the cancer from returning though.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Hmm..."
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> So there may be paths. Don't give up yet
<DeathStar> *Cuddles turns to go, adjusting her long white hair - clearly one of Athena's kids. As she goes she bitches out a patient*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Creating a new body seems the safe route, but it takes time..."
<Seraphna> **Jen grins** One of mine, you see. She's a brilliant geneticist.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "..not the best bedside manner though..."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Mmm, Tsundere.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Some people like that."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> I think she gets it from her grandpa sometimes.
<Xanatos> 6* Valen sighs and goes to sit by Vesper's bed.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *hugsValen*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It's okay
<DeathStar> *Vesper opens her eyes* Hm?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Hey, vesper... uhhh... do you remember me?"
<DeathStar> *Vesper studies Moira a long time* Oh yes. You liked... *she struggles to remember - maybe the club being tied to Dusk is making it hard to recall*
<DeathStar> <Vesper> It is not coming to me. But you came to see me often
<Xanatos> 6* Valen gives Rachael a smile before glancing over to Vesper.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Ahhh.... yeah."
<Xanatos> <Valen> Do you remember Dusk?
<DeathStar> <Vesper> Dusk... dusk dusk... *she pauses* I ... know I should... I spent a lot of time with her...
<DeathStar> *she holds her head and looks tired* She was with my every day...right?
<Xanatos> <Valen> Yeah you and her were sorta...mind buddies. It looks like she's gone now, which is partly why it's so hard for you to remember.
<DeathStar> <Vesper> I see. *She thinks, still crafty it seems, just tired* So I have holes in me since I lost this mind buddy
<Xanatos> <Valen> I believe that's a big part of it, yeah. Jen and Cuddles have a few paths of treatment they're looking into and I'll help however I can.
Session Close: Sun Feb 23 22:05:51 2020

<DeathStar> *Sabrina beams and sits. Yuki turns to Erica* <Yuki> I think that is everyone
<Sara> <Erica> All right. Take us out.
<Sara> * She sits in her chair and gets comfy
<DeathStar> *Yuki flies them out and the Aquarius begins to head to Earth*
<DeathStar> *arriving at it in a few minutes. Yuki sends signals to okay it*
<Sara> <Erica> All right. Now to pinpoint this signal.
<Xanatos> <Pepper> I want to start marking down how much time the engine saves us.
<Sara> <Erica> Heh, you sound like my dad. All about those sums.
<DeathStar> *Yuki begins to scan the planet and after a bit they hit jack pot in the North American State*
<Sara> <Erica> Welp, let's go down there and see what it is.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Scans show anything?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I sure hope it's not the SOS broadcasting machine I built as a joke but never turned it on...
<DeathStar> *as they begin to go down, the Aquarius soon arrives at a building neart Mega City*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Interesting.
<DeathStar> *the Aquarius is hailed*
<DeathStar> *the building seems to be in bad shape and old - ancient*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Talk about odd. 6He crosses his arms
<Sara> * Erica answers the hail
<Sara> <Erica> This is Captain Erica Hildegard of the starship Aquarius. Is anything the matter?
<DeathStar> *Lemon's face appears on the screen* What brings you to Earth, Captain?
<Sara> * Erica then deadpans at herself, realizing how silly it is to answer something like that while on the ground
<DeathStar> <Lemon> We suddenly detected you all not too far from us
<Sara> <Erica> We get signal. Er, uh, excuse me. I mean, we got a strange signal and came to see what it was.
<DeathStar> *Lemon turns to Kane, then back* We're on our way. *she smiles and hangs up*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well, lets see what's down there
<Sara> <Erica> Well, that was weird. Let's move.
<Sara> * Erica heads out
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It's not really weird that they'd comm us. 6He notes as he moves after
<DeathStar> *the Aquarius has landed with it's cute little legs out*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin hmms and moves after the two.
<DeathStar> *as they walk out and approach the building, on the side is a .I*
<DeathStar> <Thomas> Fascintaing
<DeathStar> *he scans the area and there's mild traces of radioactivity but it's not dangerous anymore*
<Seraphna> **Cookie muses and looks at it**
<ChadWinters> 6Durt glances around the nods to Cel, who moves to circle around
<Sara> <Erica> I... I... Hmm. Something about that busted-up logo feels familiar. *she eyes the geiger reading* ...Seems largely safe to go in
<Xanatos> (.I*?)
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I wouldn't know."
<Seraphna> Cookie> Well... I don't know why V.I. would put a logo out in the open so I doubt it's that?
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Probably not them.
<Sara> <Erica> The worst organizations always have the best fronts, friends.
<Sara> * Erica leads the group inside
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Who are V.I. anyway?"
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Long story.
<DeathStar> *as they enter, Thomas tries to find out information on them*
<DeathStar> *handing it to Celeste* A terror group
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Shorty story, they're a bunch of a-holes.
<Alicia> * Celeste reads up on them. "...alright, yeah, that's bad."
<DeathStar> *inside they find what looks to be machines on nanomachine and other material, as well as tubes and stuff.*
<Sara> * Erica glances around warily
<DeathStar> *and computer terminals on two subjects - the tubes are empty*
<Sara> <Erica> Hey, guys, can you tell me if any of this stuff is still active?
<DeathStar> *Taiga moves over and begins to work on one*
<Seraphna> **Thena hops over and works on the other**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> I wonder why this places signal suddenly kicked on. 6He moves to a terminal, hooking his datapad up to it.
<DeathStar> *some nanomachines smash against a small glass at Thena*
<DeathStar> <Mireille> I think maybe my enhancements helped me detect it
<Alicia> * Celeste looks over the terminals.
<Seraphna> **Thena peers up** Interesting... why they leap at me?
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It's still odd that it was broadcasting in the first place.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin slowly moves around, poking around for a datapad or a console.
<Sara> <Erica> Maybe someone was meant to find this. But when, is a question hard to answer.
<Sara> <Erica> This signal might have been going out for years, if we're unlucky... or lucky.
<DeathStar> *Kellin would find some consoles in the back near the two tubes*
<ChadWinters> <Durt> It'd be more likely it kicked on near the tail of end of it's downfall
<DeathStar> *in the back the awesome Earth team arrives*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "The question is, what were they doing here?"
<Seraphna> **Thena looks over the console more**
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Nothing good.
<DeathStar> <Vesta> The professionals are here. Bag it up. *she puts on black glasses to look all cool*
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> ...
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Hello Cookie, dear.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin looks through the console.
<Seraphna> Cookie> Hey Momma!
<DeathStar> *Kellin would see information on Subject K and Subject C*
<Xanatos> 6* Kane steps in and peers around.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Are these people frie... alright then. Yes."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Okay. I have something for you Erica
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks up as Lemon walks in, wearing a coat*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin brings up the info on both, K first, then C.
* ChadWinters glances at the others then at Kellin. 1"Try not to break anything."
<Sara> <Erica> What'd you find? *she moves over to Taiga*
<DeathStar> *Adeline walks in with Lemon and Kane, sheepish*
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Winters I will hyperspace your face off if you condescend me again. Also, hello.
<Seraphna> Thena> Mmm, so Subject K, Subject C, right after Kane and Ciel show up out of nowhere. Are these hard dots to connect?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "You think they cloned them?"
<Alicia> * Celeste
* ChadWinters gives a rare smirk to Kellin. 1"There's too much other material for them to be clones.
<Seraphna> Thena> They're supposedly cyborgs so...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *points, speaking loudly for all to here*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It seems that V.I found Kane and Ceildh's remains
<ChadWinters> Plus if they were clones we'd just release the clone virus near them to take care of them. 6He notes absently.
<Seraphna> Thena> So our presidential front runners might be VI projects.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And brought them here to be rebuilt atom by atom using nanomachines
<Alicia> <Celeste> "... that's bad."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> How that is even possible I do not even know
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think they must have had their brains intact
<Xanatos> <Kane> Nanomachines are...complciated but not impossible to use. It would have taken a long time.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Yes. Yes. Decades.
* ChadWinters looks over at Kane and Lemon. 1"That enough for us to move on them, yet?"
<Sara> <Erica> Disturbing, in any case.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And they implanted stuff in them to give orders to have Kane fight for the Presidency. But I think they were activated pre-maturely
<Xanatos> <Kane> Their link to VI is troublesome, yes. But shouldn't you be happy that your friends were brought back to life with the miracle of science?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Who knows what even plans they may be hatching right now."
<ChadWinters> 6Durt disconnects his datapad.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So it is hard to say how much control is in them
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Mm, what should we do, boss? **she looks to Lemon**
<ChadWinters> I'll be happy if they stop being a pain in our ass.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I'm going to download all this science and give to Jen, maybe it can help with Vesper. 6* He hooks a datapad up and does similar to Durt to downlaod the info.
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Good thinking Kel.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> It's hard to say. This Kane is high in the polls, since people feel Kane should be allowed to "finish" his term. *referring to the evil Kane and shapeshifters and stuff* And I think Dias just doesn't care.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> So if an agent of V.I got into office. Agian
<Seraphna> Tabetha> We'
<Xanatos> <Kane> We could take this information and expose them. However VI isn't a known public entity are they?
<ChadWinters> Then we release the information that he's an agent of VI. That should be enough to turn people off from him
<Seraphna> Tabetha> We are never going to reach retirement are we?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> And hurt Kane's rep? Again.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Hmph
<DeathStar> <Lemon> No no no
<ChadWinters> Then it's time we finally have a talk with them.
<DeathStar> *Taiga and Yuki whispers to Erica* What are they going on about?
<Xanatos> <Kane> ...I could, perhaps reveal myself to the public.
<Sara> <Erica> No idea *she whispers back*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Then it'd be obvious that there's an imposter."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I like our drama better. 6* He whispers to the three after he finishes the install.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Yeah... aren't you the actual Kane who became President? This other Kane died before then.
<ChadWinters> He is.
<DeathStar> *Taiga downloads stuff* <Lemon> It is complicated. Kane got shuffled off and the shapeshifter took over
<DeathStar> <Lemon> For good while
<Xanatos> <Kane> It is complciated and for that I'm not convinced the people will believe the claims.
<ChadWinters> This original Kane. Never ran for office so that alone will stop his legitimacyt.
<DeathStar> *Lemon moves to Erica* Thank you
<ChadWinters> But it will create a seed of doubt which will, if he wants to prove anything, take time.
<DeathStar> *she takes her hands* We might need you as an outside source for when the time comes as a witness. Plus we never even detected this place
<Xanatos> <Kane> Oh dear...I do not like public speaking.
<ChadWinters> Earth's citizens are still looking negatively at all the secret organizations and the fall out from them
<Seraphna> Tabetha> It is worrisome that he is making a false claim. That already speaks of dishonesty.
<Sara> <Erica> Yeah, all right. The Aquarius has been getting better at stuff like this, so...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm sure.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> About a few things
<Xanatos> <Kellin> If you actually know about nanomachines like you insinuated earlier we may need you help healing someone on the PAX. 6* He says to Kane who pauses and tilts his head.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> 1) Who activated them - failsafe? Or someone. 2) Can they be deprogammed. But that is a problem for another time. *she peers at Kane, then them* And Kellin is right
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Wait, you ran for presidency once, right? Why would you do that if you don't like public speaking?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If they have nanomachines in them that can heal that good
<ChadWinters> <Durt> Another thing that's complicated Celly.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It might be a good idea deal with them sooner than later?
<Xanatos> <Kane> I will assist however I may, as thank you for discovering this.
<DeathStar> *as they walk out to the Aquarius, Mireille waves out to them*
<Xanatos> <Kane> And I ran for office during a time of great stress, someone needed to do it. So...I did.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> You mean the Tabetha Regeneration Serum might become obsolete? **she pouts**
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Did I do good?
<Seraphna> Cookie> A+ Mirei!
<Alicia> * Celeste nods to Kane. "I understand."
<Sara> <Erica> Yes honey, always
<Xanatos> <Kellin> You know we've been to a lot of places, but Earth always smells like home...I wasn't even born here though. Isn't that weird?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> mmm. I guess no. It's nice to stop by here. <Yuki> I guess I feel that way about Geyze and Kumen now. *She hugs Erica close*
<DeathStar> *as the two groups split up, Taiga jotting notes on if the nanomachines in Kane and Celidah can help Vesper, things wrap up*
<DeathStar> -END-
