<DeathStar> Date: 10-647.3.22
<DeathStar> Location: Asteroid C
<DeathStar> *Taiga plays with her glasses in thought at the controls, Model A floating in a tank nearby as she pulls data from it*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Mmmm. Man.
<DeathStar> *She rubs her eyes*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *arrives at the station* "Mmmmm... are you here all alone? Where is Si?"
<Seraphna> **Si steps out of the back carryiung a tray, in an apron.**
<DeathStar> *Ren turns her head* No, I'm here. I figure it's better than being magical stuff going on. Once that happens, I might not have time for this
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuu?
<DeathStar> *being pulled
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *is compiling stuff* I was never selected to be a magical girl, so I am rejecting it
<Seraphna> Jaime> You're plenty magical to me.
<DeathStar> *Taiga pulls her glasses off* We're trying to break the cyphers on this thing to learn more about who made it
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Where do you keep hiding about here? As long as the place is secure. While I consider our current opponents among the Illium to be amateurs compared to the other Adeline, I still would not like to show up for a surprise."
<DeathStar> *Ciphers
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm? And I suppose Model A has not been helpful if asked?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Have you asked the crazy version of Angela? She seems to know about them.
<DeathStar> <Model A> We must beat Mega Men!
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I've tried to gag it when possible, actually
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mega Men?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> He means play the game that the enemy has set up to get their data. I'm loathe to do such a thing. Hence trying to break the cipher. I've successfuly manage to break some of it
<DeathStar> <Taiga> As for going to see Seraphna
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We'd need a full team
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Why not call Jaime? She likes arcade games."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Jaime, do you think you could beat this thing's game to unlock the secret knowledge we seek?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Taiga means actually taking Model A and going out to defeat actual opponets
<Seraphna> Jaime> It's just a video game?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Not a game.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Taking their code
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...I see..."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It's a death game
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Who cmae up with this?!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sounds like we should gather a full team and just overpower it.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, let me show you cipher 1 that I brute forced my way through
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It'll give you an idea.
<DeathStar> *The screen begins to show you the message on Model A:
<Jackieness> <Noire> *adjusts her glasses* "Alright. LEt's see..."
<DeathStar> ......Congratulations. The Model A which I created is protected by a cipher that is broken only in battle. You, who broke the first cipher, are worthy to know its truth and power. Through my research of the lost technology, I have created a key to unlock the door to a new evolution. Biometal Model W... He who holds it, will hold the power to rule the world. But it will take much time before people will finally appreciate my work. Sacrifices are necessary to awaken Model W. Model Ws which I have hidden throughout the world are waiting to be awakened. Waiting for when the one who understands my work appears, to receive the power.
<DeathStar> <Ren> There's that Model W again.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> So there is more than one than the one which we destroyed.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Any indication who made this?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm guessing we hae to unlock the remaining 4 ciphers to learn who that is
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I guess we can take it to Seraphna to see if she can manage it or defeat more of these people in the game
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Either way we need to try to get Kaori's power back
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... at the very least, we should consult with Seraphna to get her opinion."
<DeathStar> *Ren nods and grabs Kaori*
<DeathStar> *stuffing her fox form into a backpack* Got Kaori
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...I see."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You should all sell your fox forms as plushies. You could make money
<DeathStar> *Taiga begins to dial up the gate* I suppose I should... come along this time
<Sara> *muffled Kaori noises*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh alrght. *Lets Kaori ride on her head*
<DeathStar> *Adeline zips up* and steps through the gate*
<Seraphna> **Jaime follows her**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *zips up her suit and then follows through the gate*
<Seraphna> **Thena pops in** Thena shall guest star as your operator.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Good luck. *She steps through and once on the other side, heaves a bit, looking like she is not pleased to be setting foot on a mission*
<DeathStar> <Ren> .. Ew
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Taiga?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm good, I'm good.
<Seraphna> **Si steps in after her, then puts an arm around her** I'm here.
<DeathStar> *Taiga brings up the world map and blinks* That's ... not good.
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuu?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...what is the bad news this time?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *brings it up in a 3D look where the city of Banten, where the Legion HQ is located, has been heavily damaged* Someone went to town at that place. All I can guess is it's the new enemy running the show. Playing this game of destiny of their's
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Thye might have been looking for the Model A, not realizing it was no longer in the same reality. We should be careful."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... I got a signal from Alouette's body. This way
<DeathStar> *she heads into the ruined city*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...keep a watch out, everyone."
<DeathStar> *people staring at Ren with her Kaori hat*
<DeathStar> *The humanoids work to move rubble and try to clear things, helping each other out; it seems there has been a lot of casualities*
<Alicia> * Charlotte watches
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I imagine a massive army of reploids and mechaloids did this
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmm-hmmm..."
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, peering around** Mindless violence.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It keeps happening."
<DeathStar> *They soon arrive at the badly damaged Legion HQ*
<DeathStar> *Where no one is guarding it to stop them from entering*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "This bodes ill."
<DeathStar> *As they climb up the tower, bodies are thrown all over the place, one of them being one of the three sages, Mikhail - nailed to the wall, too far gone to be brought back. They soon reach the top in on of the SAges seats sits Seraphna, with Sage Thomas scowling at her and Alouette musing. No sign of Grey or Asche*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "At least some of you have survived."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Where is Alouette?"
<Alicia> *ignore that I'm dumb
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Right here with us. And stop scowling, I'm the only person in this place that actually represents your precious founders. **She sighs**
<DeathStar> <Sage Thomas> You think highly of yourself, Mad One
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Please stop fighting
<DeathStar> <Ren> I see we missed a lot
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm not up enough on your founders to know what this is about."
<DeathStar> *She sets Kaori down*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "OK... what happened?"
<Seraphna> **Seraphna muses** I'm sure Thomas would love to explain what happened here.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Please do."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks at Sage Thomas* "Well?"
<DeathStar> <Sage Thomas> Those twins allowed a massacere to occur in the city and Mikhail died and Albert has gone missing like many of our citizens. I believe they were looking for something and probably plan to question those taken
<DeathStar> <Alouette> This game to become King has gotten out of hand
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "As such games do."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> As do all things that tend to follow in my grandfather's name sadly. **she sighs deeply** I have a feeling I'll be patching up Reploids for days.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... where did they take their captives?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I must have missed the name drop."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> The Great Sages like to use the namesakes of three scientists that changed the worlds in their time when they invented Robots that could think for themselves.
<DeathStar> <Sage Thomas> If we knew that, we would be acting on it
<DeathStar> <Alouette> *begins to look annoyed at the two always bickering*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...so have you doen anything to find out where?"
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Mainly I been listening to her go on about stuff and the other guy get angry
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So no. You've done nothing."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Sounds like you're the smart one, Alouette."
<DeathStar> <Alouette> We could try to get the
<DeathStar> Grand Nuage
<DeathStar> <Alouette> IT might help
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's a lead."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Indeed. My counterpart seems to have raised this one right.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ah... who is that, anyway?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> What is your mother calling herself, Allouette?
<DeathStar> <<Taiga> Lets just let these two bicket.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Sometimes it's better that way
<DeathStar> *she ushers them away from Seraphna and the Sage*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... quite."
<Seraphna> **Jaime giggles a bit** She looks young but she's just as old minded as the Sage.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... yeah, whatever."
<DeathStar> *Ren pulls Kaori along by the leash*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Anyway, she's Angela's counterpart, Charlotte.
<Sara> * Kaori complains
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well, poof into human form if you don't like it. *She jokes with Kaori, holding out a treat*
<DeathStar> *Alouette goes to work on contacting the ship* Lets see if we can get them. With what happened to the city, they might be around
<Seraphna> **A small pink cat hops onto Allouette's shoulder**
<Seraphna> **Anyata sensing Allouette is on the move rushes over to join them**
<DeathStar> *soon a massive ship begins to approach*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> There it is
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...so i see."
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuuu~
<DeathStar> *The ship floats next to the broken tower and extends a landing platform for them to cross*
<DeathStar> *Alouette hurries across where they are greeted by Grey*
<DeathStar> <Grey> Hm. *nods* It's you all
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It's us."
<DeathStar> <Ren> It's Char
<DeathStar> <Ren> And Kaori
<DeathStar> *Holds her up*
<DeathStar> *Taiga glances around as Adeline studies the ship. Grey motions for them to head to the bridge with him*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... please tell me you know where the attacking army went with their captives."
<DeathStar> <Grey> The Captain has had her hands full with a lot of things. But that is one thing. Someone is trying to get all the various information unlocked to win the game.
<DeathStar> *As they reach the bridge, they find a young woman with long brown hair and bright green eyes, as well as a flashing smile* <Captain> Hi. I'm Aile. You must be the strangers I've heard about.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "The game. Sheesh, people aren't even serious about all this."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Can they win the game without Model A?"
<DeathStar> <Aile> Most definitly. Those twins are steering people toward winning
<DeathStar> <Aile> But I do think Model A is a key.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... explain all of this then."
<DeathStar> <Aile> Model A is some sort of copy ability right? And it holds hidden information
<DeathStar> <Aile> I think it's just a component in the game.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And Moderl W?"
<DeathStar> <Aile> That's the true danger. <Taiga> The cipher did mention W's being scattered all over the place
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What do these letters stand for, anyway?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> So... A is like some device that can absorb the power of other Models? So it can be key to winning if you use it right?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I believe they stand for previous people
<DeathStar> <Aile> Anyway, you wanted to save the captured civilians, lets head there. *she sits down and the Grand Nuage flies out*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "But they can't both be Wily. Or maybe that's just completely unrelated."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Albert and Wily, in these cases, which could be the same man if I didn't suspect Sage Albert of making Model A.
<Seraphna> **Her voice comes from Alouette's shoulder**
<DeathStar> *Alouette flails*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... if it was Sage Albert, then why would he make it?"
<DeathStar> *Ren holds out Kaori at the pink dragon*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Kaori, I choose you!
<Seraphna> **The Pink Cat tilts her head** Because he hoped to be the one to win after all.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why is Wily such a big deal that he gets *two* letters?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> My Grandfather was an evil man is why, he craved power.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Okay, where's Model V then?!"
<Sara> * Kaori blinkblinks and paws
<Seraphna> **Seraphna paws back**
<DeathStar> <Model A> I resent being accused of being evil. *annoying voice*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... then if you're not evil, you have to prove it."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Being named after someone doesn't make you them."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> You are not actually him, A.
<DeathStar> <Aile> We can try to scan it more if you want. We have good scientists onboard.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...I was trying to convince it to give us another clue..."
<Seraphna> **Seraphna hops off Allouette and returns to a human form, fixing her labcoat** I'll be happy to assist them.
<DeathStar> <Model A> Beat more bad guys up for me then!
<Seraphna> Seraphna> I'm afraid A was designed to evolve through combat.
<DeathStar> *Taiga hands Model A to Seraphna*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Where's Dias when you need him?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> You will have to defeat enemies and absorb their "souls" with him to grow him. **she eyes Grey for some reason**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...how annoying."
<DeathStar> <Grey> ...?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... are you sure she's not Thena's counterpart?"
<Seraphna> Thena> **comms** I more stylish.
<DeathStar> *The ship arrives at some creepy base* <Aile> Alright we're here. Just use the system to teleport down. *Ren has Kaori go Kitsune form*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets go save the hostages.
<DeathStar> *Ren moves to the teleport*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Right. And perhaps we might find some additional intel." *walks to the teleporter*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Would any of you like to actually merge with A?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm? merge with A?"
<Sara> * Kaori follows
<Seraphna> Seraphna> He will grant you powers in battle. Even janitor class heroes like Grey could fight with you.
<DeathStar> <Grey> Hey!
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Well you are a biomatch for A.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises a brow*
<DeathStar> <Voice> I'd do it, but I might burn him out
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Biomatched pairings are very powerful.
<Seraphna> **Seraphna peers over**
<DeathStar> *Taiga glances over and spots a Megumi looking person with Wind colored hair. Fuyu stands there, coming to join the team as Adeline stays behind to study things*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Ashe of course could use this with ease.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Ah. We should question her about her father
<Seraphna> Seraphna> I suggest you answer them Fuyu. It will help retain the budget.
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> *eyes Kaori* This is the one Dad likes a lot, huh?
<Sara> * Kaori makes a face and glances away
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> I don't mean it in a sexual way
<Seraphna> Seraphna> The one he "borrowed" powers from in the usual arrogance.
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> I mean in a potential way.
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> Yeah, if he did it, he had a reason
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Mm, yes. I may not agree with the man all the time but I admit I trust his judgement.
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> He respected this one after all.
<DeathStar> *she seems annoyed*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "He'd better."
<DeathStar> *Fuyu eyes Charlotte*
<Seraphna> **Seraphna sighs and holds out the Biometal** So yes, Ashe, Grey, or one of you reality hopping heroes, by all means.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "She's basically family."
<DeathStar> <Ren> *hugs Kaori*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'll pass.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Uncle Wind can be mysterious.
<DeathStar> *Alouette takes it* I'll become a super hero!
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Well, see if you can merge with it then.
<Seraphna> **Anyata looks worried**
<DeathStar> *Alouette tries*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... it starts with the same letter s your name anyway."
<DeathStar> *And forms a little gun, going pew pew pew*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Shame there's no Model C."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Mmm, I match Ashe because she's decended from Albert. Grey for similar reasons.
<DeathStar> *The team warps down and the area is swarming with mechaloids*
<Seraphna> **Seraphna sighs sadly** And no... no C...
<DeathStar> *Alouette tries her tiny gun on the enemy*
<DeathStar> *going pew pew pew and barely does any damage*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... maybe I should."
<DeathStar> *the enemy, however, is enraged and charges*
<Seraphna> **Seraphna observing** Yes... not a biomatch, but interesting it still works.
<Seraphna> **Anyata flashes in front of her and Z-Slashes it.
<DeathStar> *Anyata takes it down, but more enemies emerge, coming for the group*
<DeathStar> *Fuyu hyper claws one*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *forms tendrils and stabs them at the enemy*
<DeathStar> *it blows up*
<Seraphna> **Jaime stomps the ground and sends a large chunk of earth twoards the enemies, exploding when it impacts**
<DeathStar> *some try to nab Taiga and Kaori and fly off*
<DeathStar> *as Jaime blows up a few*
<Seraphna> **Si burns those that go near Taiga**
<Alicia> * Charlotte tendrils the potential kidnappers
<DeathStar> *Si burns the enemies, dropping Taiga and Charlotte rescuing Kaori*
<DeathStar> *the last enemy appears, a large tank mechaloid*
<Seraphna> **Si catches Taiga and smooches**
<DeathStar> *Alouette pew pew pews it*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises a hand and forms a Dark matter singularity, before launching it at the tank mech*
<DeathStar> *The tank mech begins to pull in on itself and crunches*
<DeathStar> <Aile comms> KEep going down the straight path
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Right." *starts forward*
<DeathStar> *the group heads along and soon arrives a massive network of prisons where work bots seem to be doing something with the prisoners; pulling them out of the cells and pulling them off deeper into the prison to do something to their bodies. Horrible screams can be heard*
<DeathStar> *Taiga and Ren make faces*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... if this is what they do for a game, I'd hate to see what they do when they're serious."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Free those in the cells. Point takes out their torture facility."
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I do not sense Sage Albert in the cells
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Has he already been processed?
<Seraphna> Seraphna> **comms** Not surprising.
<DeathStar> *suddenly, two shapes teleport in - Prometheus and Pandora*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Great. Them,
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm, the attackers yes?
<DeathStar> <Prometheus> Mmm, so we have little pests in the facility
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...how annoying."
<DeathStar> <Prometheus> Funny, I been thinking the same thing.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Mmm.. I feel like I'm looking at them."
<Seraphna> Jaime> So what's your tragic backstory?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Right, Jaime? I was just thinking emo poseur."
<DeathStar> <Pandora> ...
<Seraphna> Jaime> Really, what's the excuse for killing innocent people and doing all this?
<DeathStar> <Prometheus> Mmm. We have a couple of try hards here, don't we? Funny. and here I was going to give you an offer. Now I'm having second thoughts on if they could do it
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... very well. We'll stop the posutring and listen."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What was this offer?"
<DeathStar> <Prometheus> We'll unlock that little toy of yours and tell you where the mastermind of all this is at. <Pandora> ...
<Seraphna> Jaime> Jaime> Is it Albert?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... in exchange for?"
<DeathStar> <Prometheus> Well, someone is pretty smart after all, for a pest
<DeathStar> *Pandora studies her*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Seraphna keeps babbling that he's evil.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... we already know you won't give it back."
<DeathStar> <Pandora> In return, you will be used when the time comes.
<DeathStar> *she tells Noire*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Your price is a bit too open-ended."
<Seraphna> Jaime> We'll be used seems like a bit of an honest take on a turnabout.
<DeathStar> <Prometheus> Then you can keep looking for him and trying to unlock that thing by playing in the game
<DeathStar> *Fuyu lifts her hand* I could just attack
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... tell me though... what has caused this turn around? Why do we merit this consideration now?"
<Seraphna> Seraphna> **comms** Don't ask me. Last time I suggested they skip the 8 bosses and just teleport a nuke into Sigma's bedroom everyone looked at me funny.
<DeathStar> <Prometheus> Heh. *he seems more amused* Because at this rate you're going to be knocked off the board and have Model A taken. *he turns toward Alouette who has it*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I do not care for this game. I intend to knock over the gameboard if given the opportunity."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm not playing around either."
<DeathStar> <Pandora> Answer. Am growing weary
<Seraphna> **Jaime holds up a hand, then pulls it down as she brings the roof down, with grown spikes at the twins**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Pre-emptive much, Jaime?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> I was getting bored.
<DeathStar> *they immediately go into attack mode and launch forward toward Alouette, vanishing*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... we'll talk about this later. Protect Alouette!"
<Seraphna> **Si shifts by Allouette and forms a fire barrier around herself and Allouette**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I already know that." *launches a tendril right at where Prometheus' head is about to be*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *forms her Dark Edge and waits*
<Seraphna> **Anyata forms a second beamsaber and glows, going into her hyper mode, ready for them**
<DeathStar> *ice and rain takes out the fire barrier and then Promtheus appears and slashes through Alouette chest*
<DeathStar> *ripping the Model A out of her*
<Seraphna> **Anyata shifts to take the blow as Jaime teleports behind him and punches his back with a hyper fist**
<Alicia> * Charlotte strikes at Prometheus' eyes as he does that
<Jackieness> <Noire> *leaps and slashes for Prometheus' neck*
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and grapples with his arm**
<DeathStar> *Pandora appears to block the attacks, spinning*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't think you understand who you're dealing with."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *send a tendril to draw in the Model A*
<DeathStar> <Promtheus> Hm. Ha ha ha. *he slashes at the tendril and Pandora keeps on protective detail*
<Seraphna> **Jaime uses Goddess TK to grab and pull it to her**
<Seraphna> **Si glows with white fire as she drastically increases her speed and strength and goes for Pandora, punching and kicking rapidly**
<DeathStar> <Prometheus> ...*tries to swipe Model A itself by stabbing it*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises ahand and then forms a Dark Matter singularity , flinging it at the ground near Pandora*
<DeathStar> *But only only half hits it*
<Seraphna> **Anyata darts to parry hi stab**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Right now, you're just someone high on the fact you're a little bit stronger than most." *TK pushes Prometheus*
<Seraphna> **Jaime teleports to the Model A to fully grab it**]
<DeathStar> *Pandora is forced back and flies up in the air*
<Seraphna> **Si sends a gout of white fire after her**
<DeathStar> *She sends homing missiles down at Si*
<Seraphna> **Jaime then teleports behind her team and equips A**
<DeathStar> <Prometheus warps and leaps up at Jaime to stab her in the chest. Fuyu hyper blasting at him*
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and leaps back, leaving a well of heat hotter than herself behind her**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *then uses a Dark Matter slam against Prometheus dow that Pandora is no longer watching his back*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sidesteps the warp using an Ace of Spade and blasts him point blank**
<DeathStar> <Prometheus> *slides back and Pandora warps behind him* Well. I guess we'll enjoy dealing with you later as well then.
<DeathStar> <Promethus> Just another to add to the list with along with him
<DeathStar> *The two warp out*
<Seraphna> **Anyata nurses her wound and holds Allouette protectively**
<DeathStar> *Alouette seems to be unresponsive*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Get Alouette back to the ship. Now."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Damnit, A was pulled out of her too quickly. Bring her back to the ship. Get the hostages freed and evac. Your mission is done.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Right. She needs time to recover."
<Seraphna> **Anyata nods and teleports her away**
<Seraphna> *Jaime peers at her new armor** Umm. Right.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Breach the holding cells!"
<Alicia> * Charlotte works on freeing hostages.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *starts forward, trying to rip cells open with ehr tendrils*
<DeathStar> *The second Charlotte moves to work on the cells, a trap begins to be sprung in the base*
<DeathStar> *cells further down begins to liquidate the Humanoids nd reploids*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ...
<DeathStar> <Ren> They're destroying everything
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... of course..." *tries to break the system itself*
<DeathStar> *She works on pulling people; Charlotte would discover a massive computer in the base, but it seems to be defending itself with lasers*
<DeathStar> *Fuyu speed pulls peope out*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *starts spamming Dark Matter blasts to just break open the walls*
<Seraphna> **Jaime glows green, enhancing her warp to move as many prisoners as possible out**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't think I can take the system down fast enough to save everyone..." *just pulls people out instead*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Taiga, can you take out the compputer if I get you there?!"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Sure.
<Seraphna> **Si burns away walls to get people out**
<DeathStar> *prisoners flee*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Do it."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *grabs Taiga and opens a shadow port right to the computer*
<DeathStar> *Taiga begins to work on it quickly and shuts it down without being shot*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Shew, looks like we only lost part of the prison
<DeathStar> <Ren> That Albert guy is a dick
<Seraphna> Seraphna> **comms** We'll bring you back. I'm working on Allouette... time for some upgrades.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Taiga, Model A is too tempting a target. We shoudl take it back with us until this mess is resolved."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Right."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Right
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> Location:
<DeathStar> Grand Nuage
<DeathStar> *back on the ship, Alouette is being repaired*
<DeathStar> <Aile> We still need to get the 4 ciphers off to learn more about where Albert is at - and we need to decide how we wish to go about that
<DeathStar> <Ren> Can't we just... find him?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We sort of lost that chance when we ran off the two
<Seraphna> Seraphna> They weren't really going to help you. I'm surprised they gave up Albert's position in the plan at all.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I really don't like those poser clowns."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... they were probably palnning to betray him anyway."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Oh they likely are, and he's likely planning to betray them.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, that just leaves us playing the game then
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Does it?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "At least until we find a way to overturn the gameboard."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Indeed... **she muses, working on parts for Allouette**
<Seraphna> Seraphna> We could always use our own top users of the A-Unit to gather the ciphers.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Just know that those two poser clowns are now going to get in our way every step of the way
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Instead of giving us more data
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That was going to happen anyway."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I am aware. However, the die has been cast."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Was it? If they thought we might aid them
<DeathStar> <Taiga> They could have been put off to the side
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Come on, they obviously wanted to steal Model A."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hm. I disagree. But maybe this is why I'm no longer cut out for field mission
<Seraphna> Seraphna> I know the two. They had no intention to help you they are... ...as close to a Maverick as it gets.
<DeathStar> *Aile brings up the areas of others in the Game of Destiny*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Regardless, Jaime chose for us and again, the die is cast. We must play our hand."
<DeathStar> <Aile> These are the people who we'll have to battle for the data.
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> And we'll have to have Model A on us when we do
<Seraphna> **Jaime shrugs** No regrets here. They're assholes.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Okay; Jaime has colunteered to begin the boss hunt
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Having to fight them... does make things easier in some ways."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Feel a bit weird having my wife volunteering me for combat, but sure I guess.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Annoying, but straightforward."
<DeathStar> <Aile> Well, it'll also power Model A up with more stuff. I still have my Model X
<DeathStar> <Aile> So I can help
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Who has Z now?
<DeathStar> <Aile> Z is on the ship too
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I feel like those two ignore anyone who doesn't have Model A... which annoys me, but it'll be their undoing."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Z, hmm?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Model A is specificlaly a clue to this game."
<Seraphna> Jaime> **muses as she tests A a bit, moving around in it** I admit this is pretty... cool.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ah, I guess there is that."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'll head back to my Asteroid and work on the Heart thing
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We need to figure out who the Hearts might be in this reality
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Or the Hearts might be if it's an item
<Seraphna> Seraphn> Heart? Hmm.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I guess I'll work with Kaori to find Wind while we're here
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... right. We need to deal with that too."
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Luckily I have parts for my own daughter that will work with Allouette I think. It's time she got an upgrade.
<DeathStar> *Taiga heads off while Ren and Kaori go with Fuyu. Aile hands Charlotte the vhoice of X or Z*
<Alicia> * Charlotte takes Z
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
<DeathStar> -TBC-
