<DeathStar> Date: 10-643.6.9
<DeathStar> Location: One of the Cartel's Resort Worlds
<DeathStar> *Having just finished one of their latest idol concerts, Athena's crew has moved back stage where Athena greets the girls.*
<Seraphna> **Thena paw dances**
<DeathStar> <Athena> You all did very well as we've been going through the Cartel
<DeathStar> <Athena> And they can be hard to impress
<Seraphna> Thena> They have good taste, naturally we prevail!
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "They got pretty beat up during the war. Anything that takes their mind off things, you know?"
<DeathStar> <Athena> Well, our my goal outside getting your names out there was to help cheer up the galaxy as we been touring each of the leaderships.
<DeathStar> <Athena> That was our goal the past year
<Seraphna> **Thena leans into Athena**
<DeathStar> *Athena reaches into a bag and hands out something to Reikana, Thena, and so on8
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I think we did pretty well."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> *looks at what athena handed her*
<Alicia> * Victoire does likewise
<Seraphna> **Thena peeks**
<DeathStar> *it is the money each of them made over the past year, as well as the properties of each of their songs they made for the concerts. For Reikana, it looks like her manager okayed it all beforehand* All the rights to everything is yours as promised as well as the money you made the past year. I figure it is time to the tour. If any of you want to join me again let me know. I'm going to be returning to the PAX and see about working on my pet projects there
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Let's pack it up then head back then."
<DeathStar> <Athena> A little birdy told me I might can further my Song Magic and I want to look into it
<Seraphna> Thena> Song Powah!
<DeathStar> *Athena pats Thena and steps onto the shuttle* Lets return home
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Huh. Well, i'll head back then call Maddie and plan my next solo tour then."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Adeline walks ahead wearing baggy clothes as she gives a tour. Taiga is following behind. Today is an important meeting for the heads of the PAX and Erevis seems to be interested in what is going on as several people are gathered to deliver what they have for plans going forward (Cont)
<DeathStar> *on 1-A's conference room, next to the bridge, Adeline has her datapad hooked up to the computer and is ready for her turn to go as Erevis takes a seat at the table*
<DeathStar> *Lenneth steps in and slides into a chair while Taiga gathers her notes next*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sits, wearing a tactical suit, of late her mud clothes have stopped working and this is her replacement**
<DeathStar> *Adeline's clothes seem to have a cake on it*
<Seraphna> **Jaime leans over and wipes it off with a spare cloth**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *is present, sitting in for the Dark One homeworld*
* ChadWinters sits there in his chair, his eyes closed for the moment while and Idlet floats besides him.
<ChadWinters> 6Shiva sits, here eyes locked on her datapad as she waits patiently.
<DeathStar> *Aya is on the bridge, manning it while so many people are in the conference room, along with Syiean*
<Xanatos> <Xan> We waiting on anyone?
<Alicia> <Fox> "I don't see anyone missing."
<Jackieness> <Myria> *tools around her her datapad*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think that's everyone? **peers for her mother**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Alright I will go first on what I have found
<Alicia> * Jikuu waits quietly, Kyouki being where-ever Erevis is right now
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I got good news, okay news, and bad news
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Where would you like me to begin?
<DeathStar> *Erevis peers at the others and Lenneth twitches8
<ChadWinters> Bad News.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Disappoint me and then thrill me.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> There might be Progenitor technology at the Vatican and Earth might be using it to try to make their own PAX. Grant it, you need a Progenitor to use Progenitor technology, so I am not sure how well it will work, but the fact there is Progenitor technology there is not a good thing.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "The bad news was not as bad as I feared."
<DeathStar> *Lenneth raises an eyebrow* And how has that escaped our radar?
<Xanatos> <Xan> And who is 'working in it'. Do we have any names of who is organizing the effort for that?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I have no idea. I'll have to dig into it.
<ChadWinters> Lenneth has a point. The odds of that somehow remaining.... quiet for this long. Considering how many we know who've been high up in EarthGov.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There can only be one way they have it
<DeathStar> *She muses, folding her hands*
<Seraphna> Jaime> It probably got lost when we crashed just north of Rome.
<ChadWinters> Earthgov somehow gathered some of the remains of the alt-PAX ship?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. But the PAX is mostly - or was - intact. You would think we would notice pieces missing
<Seraphna> Jaime> We somehow fail to notice monsters in down below at times.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> When the PAX was scattered, it took years to rebuild it together
<Jackieness> <Myria> *raises ahand* "WE could use the parts for more repairs!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Weird they think they can even operate it. Even our unnatural Progenitors are all accounted for.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well, here's the semi good news and what led me to noticing the parts on Earth
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The PAX is slowly repairing itself
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...what?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Damaged sectors are reconstructing itself
<Xanatos> <Xan> How?
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** The ship has an automatic maintainence. It's why when you and Mom found the ship it was functional after thousands of years in space.
* ChadWinters drums his fingers slightly. "All they'd need to do is recreate the Progenitor side that allows you to operate it. 6He glances over at Adeline. "I imagine that's from the updates and unlocks that happened.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'd have to guess the Progenitors had advanced repair nanomachines of sorts
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "You think they're going to try to create another artificial progenitor."
<ChadWinters> If they want to operate it properly, it's the best option. Next would be to convince a progenitor to run it.
<Seraphna> Jaime> There's only ever been two artificial Progenitors and they both required a Progenitor to make one. **she huffs**
<ChadWinters> Nothing stays out of mankinds reach if given enough time.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huuuuuuh..."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> We'll have to ahve Dias look into the Progenitor pieces but if they can auto repair like PAX City did to become the PAX once more, then Earth might soon have a fully functional PAX from just some pieces. Right?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Isn't that person who works with Cran a hyperspace blasting sort? Would they be able to do it?
<Seraphna> Jaime> That maintainence takes years just to repair an already constructed PAX.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yes, the lost sections will take a while to restore
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Unless we can speed it up. I'm looking into it
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "There isn't time for a second PAX to be finished."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Angelos is one of the two I was talking about. He got his powers from Elder Momma's spark.
<ChadWinters> In theory, yes. 6He looks at Lenneth. 1"There's also another thing we're not thinking about in terms of the whole second PAX growing on Earth. Who's to say they don't find someone from another branch."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Angelos, that's the one. I kept thinking Angela but knew that was wrong. So they have people who could do it.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Oh, what if this is evidence of an interdimensional incursion?!"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Speaking of the good news. I been unlocking sections of the ship.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "That would be a big deal... and that is a big deal! Great work!"
<ChadWinters> We've already made contact with a group of them, haven't we?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> There's clear evidence of hallways and tunnels that have remained sealed off.
<Seraphna> Jaime> E-Empty right?
<Jackieness> <Myria> "We have not yet accoutned for the disappearances amongst the crew!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Be real awkward if there were legacy monsters in there after all this time.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Some of them I have opened seem to indicate escape hallways, others seem to be maintaince hallways, but others seem to have important power conduits behind them. But one thing I wanted to bring out to use again was this. I already reinstalled into the bridge. *she taps the screen and a chair is on the bridge* Since we have made Xanatos Captain once more, I felt this was needed
<Seraphna> Jaime> That looks familiar.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oooo, I get a chair? Did you sit in it? Is it nice?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I believe the bridge had it removed so those without Progenitor power could use the controls
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Now Xanatos can have anyone with Progenitor genes sit in the chair and control it and directly power the weapons
<DeathStar> <Adeline> And engines
<ChadWinters> Looks like they're phasing you out already, old man.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Ooo. **passes a note to Adeline**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It was how it was originally designed.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Sorry Xanatos."
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....so it's not my chair?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> There's also a back up control system in engineering. Myria tested it
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Erusian ships are like that, but with psionics!"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *She nods to MYria*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You basically float in it and you can control the system from there
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Incase the bridge is destroyed
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> You want to float in gel, Dad?
<Seraphna> Jaime> How easy is it to control from the chair? Say, do we keep the kids away from it.
<DeathStar> *Adeline hands Xanatos something to wear* Try wearing this and get in the chair after the meeting. *it looks like something out of Back to the Future
<Xanatos> <Xan> I could do with some gel floating if I'm honest. The knees aren't what they used to be.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I could do a parental lock out
<Xanatos> 6* Xan squints at what he was given.
<Xanatos> <Xan> On a scale of 1 to 10 how at risk of electrical shock am I?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Gel should be fine, but he's not allowed in it if it requires a lack of clothes or something. No need to see that.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It might trick you into letting you use the chair, given how many years you have been with Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> If you know what I mean
<DeathStar> *Erevis narrows her eyes*
<ChadWinters> Well, if that device can potentially do it, Adeline. Then yes, whoever's attempting to rebuild the PAX on Earth can do it also.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> ... *eyes Jaime*
<Alicia> * Kyouki eyes Adeline
<Seraphna> **Thena eyes the Janitor**
<Alicia> * Jikuu eyes her datapad
<Seraphna> **Jaime tilts her head curiously** I do get my DNA adaptation from Dad. Maybe Progenitor rubbed off on him?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Anyway.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah my gel-life aside. There's good and bad, what was the other thing?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The gel might be the best option if he wants direct control. The way MYria describes it, it allows you to see the entire battle field and interact with it
<Jackieness> <Myria> "The PAX becomes your game avatar."
<Seraphna> **Jaime sips tea**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I think that's it for upgrades right now; power wise, we're doing okay. If you need a super boost, I say put one in the chair
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Otherwise, we should be okay
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Okay, anyone else want to go next before Taiga?
<Jackieness> <Myria> "We sitll have gaps in the lower sections though."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Thanks for the update Adeline. 6* He nods and look from Lenneth to Myria.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Self-repair will take time
<DeathStar> *Erevis listens to everyone, hands folded in thought*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'm more of a do-er here. So nothing from me.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright, I guess I'll go.
<ChadWinters> Well luckily we're not dealing with any imminent threats so the self-rapir will have it's time.
* ChadWinters focuses on Taiga now.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Though again, if we cna get the spare parts from Earth, we could speed things along."
<Seraphna> Jaime> We'll have to talk to Dias.
<ChadWinters> That'll take time and something I'd leave to the politicians to negotiate.
<DeathStar> *Taiga brings up the screen, showing her mapping of the multiverse she's been working on so far - it looks very sparse with only a few realities on it, labled 1, 2, 3*
<Alicia> * Jikuu watches with interest
<DeathStar> <Taiga> As you know, using the signatures of realities, I assign numbers to them - 1 there, 2 there, 40 there. It gives me an idea of when it might be created
<Seraphna> Jaime> In retrospect it was probably weird for us to think a Multiverse would just remain a constant after the Strikers incidents.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, lately after some things have been occurring, I been looking at realities for specific things of interest.
<ChadWinters> Ours is a branch that's been pruned and allowed to grow several times. It makes sense that things are in constant flux right now
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "It does."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Right. I been looking at the other realities for ... I don't want to outright say it, but solutions to certain problems we have. Like Geyze for instance. There should techically be other Geyze out there now, after what happened. A Geyze where our Spirits are fine. Or where our PAX is fine
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So I been looking for realities that meet the qualifications where maybe we can visit them and get help
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If that makes sense
* ChadWinters looks at Taiga now, his expression changing ever so subtly. 1"That's a risky move."
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers at the table quietly**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> IT's why I'm just in observation mode right now
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But while I was observing, I found this. *she points at three realities she has labeled differnt colors with no numbers*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "No numbers."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That's because these three are not part of the new multiverse
<Seraphna> **Jaime tilts her head**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Are those the realities that the Strikers worked with by any chance?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Their signatures are too off. I think one might be Tareh that Lore has wanted. The other is Wind's reality. And the other is that strange alternate reality Zeph liked. I ran the signatures and they seem to be a match
<ChadWinters> Realities that managed to remain tethered.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I don't know about Wind's reality if that has any use and I couldn't open a connection to Tareh, but the alternate one might have use down the road
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It's a reality that matched ours up to a point
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Where was the divergence point?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** Well... I know there was a permenant tether to Tareh left somewhere under Cran mansion. Could that open portal be why you can't make a connection? Like a comms line already in use?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The divergence? I think most of them died. And their Darien went evil
<Seraphna> Jaime> Is that the one with the Angela that got with Chii and Aya rules Earth as it's Queen?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "That would be a big divergence, but... are you suggesting what I think you are?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *shrugs* Either way, they might be useful down the road. I just wanted to point out we got an open line to both of those worlds now
<Seraphna> Thena> Find for me a reality where I conquer the universe. I must discuss things with a Goddess Thena.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... no
<Seraphna> **Thena pouts**
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> ... *listens* I think we have an alliance with the Alternate Universe and Wind's universe
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> I might look into the files. *Turns to Xanatos8
<Xanatos> <Xan> I have a question, how...secure, are we in multiversal incursions?
<ChadWinters> Not that anyone seems to worry about consequences, but I'll remind those here that Fate made it very clear that if our branch ever becomes a threat to the tree itself, we will be pruned.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I mean, we've already done it a few times.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I got alarms up, but the fact is we're not secure. We've never been secure. That encounter with the other Adeline made that clear
<DeathStar> <Taiga> She could just march right in here, with me searching or not
<Xanatos> <Xan> And there's no way to block us, put up a shield of sorts? That fleet we saw has me very concerned.
<Seraphna> Jaime> She was so firm.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> No. It's why I want to find what I can out there. And maybe find stuff that can help us. Sooner or later that other Adeline will call our bluff
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If I can find a reality blocker, I'll use it
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods, musing on how to deal with her**
* ChadWinters eyes Taiga. 1"This is a dangerous game you're choosing to play."
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huh... would the Yggdrasil hold a key?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And the other option is doing nothing
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And so when she shows up, we're left with what?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Us? Playing dangerous games with forces beyond ourselves? Gawsh that sounds so unlike us.
<Xanatos> <Xan> When blocking comms, you emit a signal to counteract from a device to basically cancel that frequency. Could we do something like that with our reality signatures? Maybe not block us from the outside multiverse but hide us from detection?
<Seraphna> Jaime> What do you think Jikuu?
<Xanatos> <Xan> It would probably take a massive device and a lot of power to do that, but just a thought.
<DeathStar> <TAiga> I could look into it, but you're talking about trying to hide an entire reality and it's location in the multivere
<ChadWinters> It might be safe to say that this is the consequences for us stealing a PAX from another reality.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Oh, I see. I think we should be careful, either way."
<ChadWinters> If you consider us a main branch, then that would mean having to hide all the branches that from from it.
<DeathStar> *Taiga hands the reality gun and places it on the table* But here, if someone wants to take the gun,they can.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh that sounds complicated. Well ignore me then.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Why don't we just create our own multiverse while we're at it.
<ChadWinters> I imagine that would require a massive amount of energy to turn our branch in to it's own tree. And most likely that would buy us time but if the main tree watchers were to come over...
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I think... *She says slowly, looking a bit off when they speak of her alternate self* If pandora's box is already open
<DeathStar> <Adeline> The only thing left to do is to move forward. As for the tree
<ChadWinters> Again all theoretical.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It is true that is a gateway as well
<Seraphna> Jaime> Just saying, one thing we left out about that other Adeline was she was already looking into other realities before we arrived. And knowing our own Adeline, she'd have figured it out on her own after a while. **Nods to Adeline**
<ChadWinters> I don't expect anyone to heed my concerns. That's not what those that sit here are known for.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We waste time discussing what we've done when in reality all we really did was be one of the first to piece an obviously flimsy veil.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Personally, I don't think the tree is a multiversal gate way
<Xanatos> <Xan> Don't pout Chad, it's unbecoming.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "What do you think it is?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *points up*
<DeathStar> *Then down*
<ChadWinters> A layer.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yes. A way to travel up and down
<Xanatos> <Xan> So it's...and elevator.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmm... make sense I guess. Though... how did... **she frowns and looks at Erevis, not saying more**
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Makes sense."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It might be able to connect to the multiverse while accessing the layers
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Is something wrong, Jaime?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Since each layer has it's own multiverse
<ChadWinters> Does it?
<Seraphna> Jaime> So like a paraverse?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Fate said they do. If you enter a layer, you might not necessarily enter the same reality each time. For example, the people who went down into the lower hells might enter different hells next time
<Seraphna> **Jaime fixes her hair** I'm curious about the Wind we've met on the Tree. If he's the one we made an Alliance with or another one.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "So, what is up and down?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> Can someone draw me like...an easy chart?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Up is the better worlds. Like heaven?
<ChadWinters> No point in it, Xan.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> That is how I took it. Better versions of ourselves
<Seraphna> Jaime> We have some flow charts, prepared by Sammael.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> IDeal versions of ourselves. But looking at Fate I don't see it
<Seraphna> Jaime> She thought Xan might ask. For some reason.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I am already the ideal version of myself though.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Then this world must be the best
<Seraphna> Jaime> The evidence is conclusive.
<DeathStar> *Erevis eyes the two*
<DeathStar> <ERevis> What is this about Wind?
<DeathStar> *she says finally*
* ChadWinters looks at Erevis then at Jaime
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I am not yet the ideal version of myself."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh... well umm... I saw him, at the hallways entrace. You know. And Si told me she saw him when Si, Taiga, Angela and Cheryl went to get the fruit.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huuuuuuh...calling it layers might be misleading too...more like tangles that overlap without actually touching."
* ChadWinters glances at Erevis, studying her
<Seraphna> Jaime> I've had someone else ask me if... well... if it's really our Wind or something different.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. The fact is we cannot know if Wind is coming here from his reality without going there. *She turns to the others* We need to decide what we want to do. Go to Earth and talk to Dias about the Vatican or what?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I guess it's up to the leaders
<ChadWinters> We'd need a scan to know which Wind this is.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "We will need to investigate the Vatican at some point."
<DeathStar> *Lenneth nods* So, I'll ask for advise. What should we proceed to do?
<DeathStar> *She peers at everyone*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I don't see why we can't do both. There's a lot of us.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, I do kind of want to go to the Alternate Reality. I did not even think about Classic. I'll mention why
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I want to meet with their Aya.
<Seraphna> Jaime> And Chad is so obviously stoked about this reality thing he's practically leaping for joy.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Their Aya?
<ChadWinters> It complicates tings, Jaime. And complications isn't something we need right now.
<ChadWinters> *things*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Unfortunately, complications happen."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ....I'd like to take some DNA samples and other things from her. Eve asked me to
<DeathStar> *Taiga rubs the back of her head*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Is this about Aya's condition?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Ah.
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks fishy*
<Seraphna> Jaime> It's not news, and I know personally what it feels like to lose someone recently... so I get what she's going through...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Ah, yes. That is what it is about
<DeathStar> *Taiga's right ear twitches*
<Xanatos> <Xan> You can't bring it up and then get cold feet. Just spell it out.
<Seraphna> ** Si senses deception, but keeps quiet**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Eve Winters asked me to take samples from their reality since Alternate Aya is the closest match to our Aya naturally. Being as when Cheryl did the divergence to beat Xevil, their reality split off from ours originally. She is a 1 for 1 of our Aya. So Aya's problems might can be fixed from samples from their's
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Including her uh, extreme helpfulness.
<Seraphna> Jaime> **tilts her head** I'm a bit interested in that aspect too... her powers were generated to be a counter to... well you know.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Mmm. I think I know where this is heading."
<ChadWinters> You assume to much about her powers, Kaime.
<ChadWinters> *Jaime*
<Seraphna> Jaime> No I read most of the ship's historical archives.
<ChadWinters> And yes, I was overruled on my feeling on the direction of this subject. I don't feel we've exhausted all our options.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth taps her fingers* Alright
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Who wants to go to the Vatican?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I do
<Xanatos> 6* Xan hmms to himself and then motions to himself.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I guess I'll go with Adeline. We might need a progenitor to prove our points.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Well, that means I do not have to go. I may still though, depending on what else we need to do."
<Seraphna> Jaime> It would probably better if you weren't exposed to the darker sectors of EarthGov, to be honest.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Okay, you all can gather your team to talk to Dias and deal with the pope
<Xanatos> <Xan> So. Vatican, Wind scans, Alternate Reality. Are these happening simultaneously?
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> The rest of you. *She rises* Work out who might be going to the other realities
<ChadWinters> I'll head to the Vatican. It'll give me a chance to update to check in on some stuff that's been nagging me.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Don't worry, I'll be working on getting a team together
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'll let Angela and those at the mansion know what we're on about with Realities. They like poking around that stuff.
<Xanatos> <Xan> If you need a Progenitor check with Sammael or Drasek. 6* he reminds Taiga as he stands to go investigate the chair before they leave.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We'll likely do a small team incusion to check out the situation of each world
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Then come back
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Before we commit fully
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Are you forgetting how many progenitors are standing right here?"
<Seraphna> Si> Most of them!
<Seraphna> Si> ...Wait that's kind of sad now that I think about it.
<Alicia> * Jikuu nods
<Seraphna> Si> Whatever happened to that emo one we captured? The one that was working Serpent stuff?
<Xanatos> <Xan> I meant specifically the grunt kind who follows orders. Not that that's bad, but sometimes you need that kind of support.
<ChadWinters> Destiny.
<DeathStar> *Taiga heads off to get things started*
<Seraphna> **Si follows her out and Jaime slides her chair over to Adeline's**
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Kalam sits before Lumi and Selena as well as others with her notes*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I have managed to finish dating all the cores using Earth dating techniques.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Discounting that we cannot be entirely sure how old Shade is, the others we are little more confident in.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I believe they are many many years older than they should be.
<Seraphna> Alita> Indeed, we have the exact moment of Gnome's birth at least.
<DeathStar> *Selena just looks lost*
<Seraphna> Alita> Mmm. She did it again then...?
<DeathStar> <Selena> These cracked cores are not their's?
<DeathStar> <Kalam> No, they are their's
<Xanatos> <Simon> Ah, the wonders of Carbon. It took a bit of time for my to adjust the Earthgov sciences.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Then I am not following
<Seraphna> Alita> The cores are far older than they should be. As if they came from a future time.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Well, we know that time travel is possible."
<DeathStar> <Selena> So they are possibly alive? In the future?
<Seraphna> Alita> We know we have a Time Spirit and we know she is not above changing around time.
<Xanatos> <Simon> We can't know for sure. But that is possible, yes.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Or everything we know is a giant loop."
<Seraphna> Alita> The question is what we can do to follow up on that.
<Xanatos> <Simon> If you know all of time and you know that there is a period that the spirits did not exist in....you could manipulate that. But time travel is not...well I suppose many of you already experienced how difficult it is to deal with such things.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It's awkward, yes."
<ChadWinters> <Id> Perhaps they came from a previous reality. Like a constant.
<Seraphna> Alita> You more than anyone Simon.
<DeathStar> *Selena folds her hands behind her* That will not help us for long then. I hear that many places have begun to become a little chaotic without the spirits. The children are not as respected. Cloud does not have the same respect as Brooke did. Qui thankfully is keeping the peace but the Naturalist are growing wilder without Sylph.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "And we did specifically have some help with the time travel bit."
<Seraphna> Alita> So we must ask the Elders to temporarily take over their positions.
<DeathStar> <Selena> And the Spiritalist Kingdom are shattered... I fear possible turmoil coming
<Seraphna> Alita> At least we do not need to deal with the Ents, they actually revere Terra.
<DeathStar> <Selena> And what of Kumen?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Kumen hasn't had spirits for a while."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Huh...the Elder Spirits can't just drop everything though. Kumen might view it as 'stealing'."
<Seraphna> **Alita muses** Make it part time, to speak up when the mortals want an adult in the room. The kids can do the real work.
<Xanatos> <Simon> Could...a spirit pact with another spirit?
<DeathStar> *Selena glances at Kalam*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Being as the children are half spirit...
<Seraphna> Alita> It's a possibility, they are half mortal.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "MAybe the young spirits need to go to spirit school."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Maybe."
<Xanatos> <Simon> If the children pact with the elders, they could work with copies and not pull the elders from Kumen. They need their council, not their power, correct?
<Seraphna> Alita> And the copies could speak for them too.
<DeathStar> *Kalam muses, eyes closed* That might work. Soren was trained from the beginning and I know my people are accepting her. Soren and Terra seem to be the two regions doing the best
<Seraphna> Alita> I wouldn't be shocked if the children have already made a few pacts with one another though.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> We need to work on the others then
<ChadWinters> <Id> Interesting. I am curious to see what the outcome of half spirits being pacted with other spirits will entail.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Alright. Lets see about enacting this plan. I will speak with Ymir
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Oh there is one problem.
<DeathStar> *She notes as Selena leaves*
<Seraphna> Alita> What is that?
<DeathStar> <Kalam> We will have to get Vyvy's permission I believe. She has gotten rather protective of the children. She has stopped sending the children to the academy and teaches them at home.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Is that going to be a problem?"
<Seraphna> **Alita rolls her eyes** She can't keep them from Geyze.
<Seraphna> Alita> We will have to talk to her, or do what we used to do when she became unruly.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I believe her home is in Shade's old grotto
<Xanatos> <Simon> What did you used to do?
<Seraphna> Alita> Tie her up and carry her around until she started behaving.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> ...
<Xanatos> <Simon> ...
<Seraphna> Alita> We were cadets at the time.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ummm...would that even work now?"
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Well, if you can do it, probably, but..."
<Seraphna> Alita> ...Perhaps if we get Jaime involved.
<Seraphna> Alita> They are family.
<ChadWinters> <Id> I say 'Give it the ol' college try'
<DeathStar> <Kalam> If it fails, tie her up
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> *Near the vatican, Cheryl stands there in a coat, eyeing everyone who has come down*
<Xanatos> 6* Xanatos holds up the peace sign as they approach.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yo.
<Seraphna> **Jaime adjusts her own coat, which looks very earthy, over her tact suit**
<Alicia> <Michiru> "You don't mind me checking this place out too, right?"
<Seraphna> Tabetha> As long as you don't explode the Pope Michi.
* ChadWinters eyes the place before them.
<ChadWinters> <Idlet> I imagine the majority of you are sinners upon this religious sects views."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, Dias is on the way
<Alicia> <Michiru> "You know I wouldn't do that, Tabetha."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> That's why it's easy to tell you not to.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What brings you all here again? Lemon sent me here after saying something about the PAX being here
<DeathStar> *Adeline holds up the binoculars at the vatican*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It'll probably be kept underground
<Seraphna> Jaime> Almost literally that. The Vatican has some... acquired... progenitor tech.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias as if on cue comes crashing down behind Cheryl, leaving a small plume of dust
<Xanatos> <Xan> Pax tech found in the artea.
<DeathStar> *John rises up in DIas' dust*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah, okay. Dias. Make the Pope give up the goods.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Hi John!"
<DeathStar> <John> Hello, Michi.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'm pretty sure our agreement with Earth is pretty strict about that too.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias hops up out of the mini-crater, dusting himself off. 1"Oh....it's a little more complicated than that mini-Eretos.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You want to fight the Pope don't you
<ChadWinters> <Dias> You can't punch people with funny hats.
<Seraphna> Jaime> What if there's a sign forbidding funny hats?
<DeathStar> *John looks over, wearing a suit and a small, silly hat*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias holds Adeline a folder thats dirty. 1"Stacey told you this is the red tape and what nots."
<ChadWinters> *Me this*
<DeathStar> *Adeline opens the folder*
<DeathStar> *Scanning through it*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hm. Ah. Jaime?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yes dear?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Plus I was told very much that as President, I'm not allowed to punch religious figures because that would show favoritism
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Can you hyperspace into the vatican's under city
<ChadWinters> I imagine if it disappears, they can't quite say they have it.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "We're just teleporting in?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm, well one part of it for sure. I used to sneak around down there as a kid.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Surely they would have sensors for that sort of thing and then we'd have a fight and someone might die and that's all bad. Sure we can't do this diplomatically?
<DeathStar> *Adeline considers, then motions at the gates* You and Cheryl should go through the front doors and talk to the Pope
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Huh? Me?
<ChadWinters> <Dias> I brought a mask and everything....6He looks up, his tie already over his eyes with two eye holes
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Yes. The rest of us will go through the back door
<ChadWinters> You've dealt with them in the past as President.
<ChadWinters> I'll go with her to make sure she doesn't hurt anyone.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Besides, pretty sure the part I know isn't occupied.
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...back door. Alright, come'on boss. 6* He motions to Cheryl and starts moving for the entrance.
* ChadWinters moves with the two, adjust his coat over his holsters.
<Seraphna> **Jaime gathers the others to teleport to a location where years ago, lots of PAX and Earth brats used to have a club.**
<DeathStar> *Xan his group are made to wait before they are seen - as religious people are oft to do*
<DeathStar> *The others find themselves underground - some drawings still on the walls*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... *Eyes the wall* Is that your name?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I was an early abstractionist.
<Seraphna> Jaime> **leans in** But no that's Jamie's.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'm beginning to see you in another light
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Nice place?"
<DeathStar> <John> I think I stepped in gum.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias seems to have already switched in the hyper port and is now wearing his fighting gi.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We used to have adventure down here. Fighting the occasional horror from the catacombs.
<ChadWinters> <Idlet> That is not gum.
<DeathStar> <John> Oh... Ohhh
<ChadWinters> <Dias> So which direction?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> This way
<Seraphna> **Jaime lets Adeline lead** Seems right. We used to go this way to sneak into John's base and steal all the pudding.
<DeathStar> *walks along in the catacombs with her datapad toward the signatures* <John> Wait, that was you?
<Seraphna> Tabetha> That's why there was never pudding!?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'm beginning to see how they got your technology if you all had your own bases
<Seraphna> Jaime> We were adorable scamps.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Maybe this really is a case of Finders V. Keepers.
<DeathStar> *She sounds dry*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Plus John literally used the main hall of the Vatican as a base.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "I'm surprised no-one tried to stop you."
<DeathStar> <John> What? Nooio
<DeathStar> >John> I didnt. Did I?
<ChadWinters> 6Idlets begins to scan the area around them, mapping it out
<Seraphna> Tabetha> You did, because of all the cool armor.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> The Church was on the PAX at the time.
<DeathStar> *as she says that, a Knight defense system explodes out of a coffin, swinging a mystic sword at them*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Can't help ya John. Pretty sure I was out getting stronger than you.
<DeathStar> <John> *Grabs the sword with his bare hands, leaning back*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I don't remember magic armor though!
<ChadWinters> 6Dias instinctively slams his fist for his chest
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Did they even have magic then?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmmm.
<ChadWinters> 6Idlet scans it
<DeathStar> *the Knight flies back and begins to fall apart; the scan shows Geyze magic in it*
<DeathStar> *The Knioght tries to repair itself*
<ChadWinters> <Idlet> Interesting.
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses and aims her hand, then starts to mangle and rip the armor apart with TK**
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Magic healing knights?! Wow"
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Damn. Missed it's core.
<DeathStar> *it's too mangled to do anything*
<DeathStar> <John> .... lets just...get to the damn technolgy
<Seraphna> Jaime> There. A hyperspace blast this early might spook people.
<ChadWinters> <Idlet> My scanners show signs of Geyze 'magic' in it.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Someone is using Mana here?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> These little church people really did a number on you people. Sure, come into our home, stay awhile let us get your stuff
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Oh I'm sure the fact it came out sent a signal
<Seraphna> Jaime> At least it wasn't a giant spider or a hell beast.
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Man that would be ironic. Hell beast. Vatican.
<DeathStar> *As they talk, more Knights show up to surround them*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... good luck!
<DeathStar> *She crawls under the Knights and continues ahead*
<DeathStar> <John> ...
<ChadWinters> <Idlet> I am sensing more of these 'knights'
<Alicia> <Michiru> "You'd think they'd want a Holy beast." *prepares to fight the knights with the others*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh well, I'll play mean. **she starts spearing armors with stalagmites**
<ChadWinters> 6Idlet floats after Adeline
<ChadWinters> 6Dias stretches a bit and does battle.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> We did bring the Earth Girl to a cave fight, come to think of it.
<DeathStar> *John just grabs Tabetha and lifts her and presses against her, going mech*
<DeathStar> *not bothering for fancy fighting*
<Seraphna> Tabetha> **starts blasting them apart**
<Seraphna> **Jaime pops up next to Adeline and moves on**
<DeathStar> *As they take down the Knights, leaving them twitching,we move back to XAnatos*
<DeathStar> *who has been granted an audience with the Pope - Pope Paladin*
<DeathStar> *Paladin holds out his hand*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .. *blinks, not getting it*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan looks at the hand and then Paladin.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Sup?
* ChadWinters stands besdie Cheryl, watching
<Xanatos> <Xan> Sorry to offend if we are, but can we get straight to business?
<DeathStar> *Paladin removes his head, looking annoyed* And what is this business? *He takes a seat*
<DeathStar> *hand
<DeathStar> *Cheryl quietly plays with her hair, looking a little out of it as she watches and listens, pulling on strands almost without noticing*
<Xanatos> <Xan> The charter for the Earth joining the Suisen has one major item that you appear to be in violation of. We've had reports that you have Progenitor Tech.
* ChadWinters slowly looks over at Cheryl, his eyebrow raising slightly at the sight of Cheryl acting like a normal person
<Xanatos> <Xan> We ask that you have over what you have, in return for your cooperation we may be able to work out a reward as such.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl's eyes quietly shift to Paladin's body language as he tenses a little, even as she continues to twirl the hair and pluck a bit more* <Paladin> That's quite the claim, Mister Durran. *He makes a gesture* Yes, your charter does say that any lost progenitor tech is to be returned.
<Xanatos> <Xan> That's right. Do you have an 'A-ha!' loophole sort of thing you're about to lay on me?
* ChadWinters turns his attention back to Paladin, noting the tensing
<DeathStar> <Paladin> But the Church is it's own entity as well. The Vatican has always been it's own state of affairs. *it's clear he's playing at the Vatican's special priviledges* During the PAX's brief time here that we gave you shelter and a place to stay, any pieces left behind should not be Church property, not EarthGov's
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh you know that is bull. You are on EarthGov
<ChadWinters> So you're saying you do have something then.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I will not tell a lie
<DeathStar> *he shrugs*
<ChadWinters> Well I think we can avoid the political bullshit then. What's your intents with the pieces you have?
<Xanatos> 6* Xan glances around the room they're in, looking for anything suspicious.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Why - to learn from the technology. It is growing every day. The church will see what it will become and use the technology to further the Church's ability to reach more people in these Dark times.
<DeathStar> *they seem to be in the Pope's office. There's a desk, a bookcase, with photos aimed at them, and a large picture of Paladin, giving a serious, solomn look*
<ChadWinters> And that's the problem we're looking at.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> So you plan to take it back. *He rises, hands behind his back*
<ChadWinters> Personally, I see things for you side. I'm not a fan that the Suisen Empire lords over their tech like a carrot on a stick. 6He crosses his arms. 1"That said, I've also seen what dangerous tech can do in the wrong hands. Even with the greatest of intentions.
<ChadWinters> I've no doubt that if you sat down and discussed what you want out of it with Durran, he will help you get to your goal without causing problems.
<Xanatos> <Xan> You know, you have a special set up here separate from EarthGov and it's not something we've considered, you're right we made deals with EarthGov, but not with you. Imagine how much help you could do if you had our support. All we ask is to make sure this tech is in safe hands.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> *nods* Then let us talk... *The area shakes a bit*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's not good. *She lowers her hand*
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....you all feel that or did my stomach rumble?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> *rises using his staff, moving out the door to check on the situation8
* ChadWinters clicks his tongue, eyeing the other two with that knowing look
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...so close. 6* He rubs his face with a sigh. *
<DeathStar> *meanwhile*
<DeathStar> *the others face off with real Knights now, with a pice of the PAX City Core floating in the middle of the room, having grown long enough to be building engineering*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Amazing, a piece of the core is constructing that much
<DeathStar> *John flips a Knight and ties them up* Yeah yeah
<DeathStar> *three more Knights swing their swords at Adeline's head and one goes for Michi and Dias*
<Seraphna> **Jaime uses one Knight as a TK club against several others**
<DeathStar> *That Knight does a scream*
<Seraphna> **Jaime swings her knight at the ones on Adeline**
<DeathStar> *they go flying*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> How do we get it out of here...
<ChadWinters> 6Dias yawns a bit and steps in to the swing to close the game and slams his foot down on the knights foot
<Alicia> * Michiru teleports out of the way of the sword, and kicks at the knight's back
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hands off my girlfriend you armored goons. **She muses** Oh, getting it out of here? **tosses Adeline a beacon**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Set that on the core and comm Lenneth.
<DeathStar> *The Knight goes down when a large Knight with a club swings it at everyone*
<Seraphna> **Jaime blasts his club with Hyperspace**
<ChadWinters> 6Dias turns and punches into the club, the ground cracking beneath him
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Girlfriend? It's fiance.
<DeathStar> *the club glows, butt he Knight holds on, and then it's punched and he still holds on, sliding into a wall*
<DeathStar> *he begins to pull himself out and slams the club onto the ground, hyperspace flying at everyone*
<DeathStar> *John leaps into the air*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... *does a TK hop*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh yes of course. **she giggles and focuses, trying to harness and turn the hyperspace back** You do NOT using my power that way!
<DeathStar> <John> *tries to do a flying kick into the large Knight and only stumbles him*
<ChadWinters> 6Dias flips upwards. 1"That's new."
<DeathStar> *it hits and his armor is damaged open in a spot; at that moment Paladin and theo thers enter*
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Since when could these guys use hyperspace?!"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> ....
<DeathStar> <John> *Grabs Michi8 I don't know, but...
<DeathStar> *he throws her at the large Knight* Michi punch!
<ChadWinters> 6Dias eyes go wide as he lands on the ground, he quickly starts to try and sneak away quietly.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Stop this at once! *Sadly Michi is already in the air. *Cheryl is face palming*
<Seraphna> Jaime> **narrows her eyes**
* ChadWinters let's out a sigh. 1"Durran."
<DeathStar> *Paladin works his way toward them as Adeline attaches something to the core and looks innocent*
<Alicia> * Michiru does a neat TK flip to avoid hitting the knight, as long as he's stopped fighting
<DeathStar> *The large Knight stands at attention*
<ChadWinters> 6The Idlet floats over to Chad who glances at it then looks at Paladin, leaning in to whisper to Durran
<Xanatos> <Xan> Wow. I am. I am just so shocked at this flagrant...uh...disregard of your orders.
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks over at him, eyes glowing just a bit from power use**
<DeathStar> *The large Knight eyes the team, clearly wanting to crush them with his power, but stands down. Paladin turns to them*
* ChadWinters eyes the size of the PAX piece that's before them. 1"That's quite the piece you have."
<Alicia> <Michiru> "So... uhhh... how did you get this?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Yes, some of the core was left behind in the crash and grew to this
<DeathStar> <Paladin> As you can see, it is nothing to us right now. *Adeline murmurs that the core is quite valuable
<DeathStar> <Paladin> But one day it might become a ship
<ChadWinters> Yes. It does appear to show the potential.
<Xanatos> <Xan> What would you do with your own ship like this?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Use it to travel to the Unknown Regions and other lands to teach the word of God.
<DeathStar> *he leans on his cane as he eyes Jaime and Adeline*
<Seraphna> Jaime> A ship that would grow to destroy Rome as the chances of you moving it is minute at best.
<ChadWinters> You'll have to excuse her, she's not known for sharing.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> And what do you want you all propose. *He leans against the staff* Suisen Ships can instantly travel the galaxy, I am told
<ChadWinters> If you'll excuse our friends brashness. I believe you and Durran can hopefully rememdy this situation.
* ChadWinters looks at Paladin
<DeathStar> *Paladin glances at Chad, then at Xanatos*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl seems to be mumbling to herself*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Actually...
<Xanatos> <Xan> The Unknown Regions are dangerous. Tumultuous, even. One ship alone wouldn't do it. You would be overwhelmed by their massive pirate fleets and this tech would be lost.
<Seraphna> **Jaime sniffs, very much a mini-Erevis in how she's eyeing Paladin**
<DeathStar> <Paladin> That may be yes. *he agrees.*
<Seraphna> Jaime> We have a network of teleporters and ships that carry people where they need. Why not simply transport your missionaries through us?
<Xanatos> <Xan> That's why we need to safe guard things like this. BUT, we can come to an agreement, work together, we need people doing good work in that sector and with resources and manpower we could do good work together.
<ChadWinters> If spreading your beliefs to the unknown region is what you want, then we potentially have an alternate solution.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Also. Taiga has made an engine that can travel that far. *she notes*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It should be simple enough to make a version for them without giving the true tiger engine
<DeathStar> *She whispers*
<ChadWinters> One that respects the Suisen Empires laws. 6He hand signals to Cheryl.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Plus, Taiga's engine doesn't require the use of hyperspace."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tiger Engine is her property I believe
<DeathStar> *she nods softly*
<DeathStar> <Paladin> ... Very well
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Your idea appeals to me. Good work must always be done along with preaching
<ChadWinters> So are you willing to sit down and come to an agreement?
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Great!"
<DeathStar> *He motions as he moves up the stairs to go back up*
<Xanatos> <Xan> We'll run this past the big dogs back home and you'll be invited to the PAX.
<DeathStar> <John> Fighting saved the day?
<ChadWinters> Congrats Durran, you've managed to solve this with your wit and your silver tongue.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We'll set up retrieval of the technology then.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Dad has powerful Charisma. He won Momma's heart after all.
<ChadWinters> 6Dias rises behind John and leans in to his ear. 1"No."
<Xanatos> 6* Xan squints at Chad then steps forward to offer out his hand for a handshake to Paladin.
<DeathStar> <John> Aw. *hangs head* Fighting never saves the day
<Seraphna> Tabetha> We can go stop some bank robbers after this.
<Alicia> <Michiru> "Did Xanatos use to fake being dumb?"
<DeathStar> *Paladin peers at the hand, then allows himself to shake it*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Peace and stability in the face of overwhelming chaos is what we face, I hope our work together can do good things. Thank you for being so understanding.
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...and sorry for my daughter and her friends.
<DeathStar> *The big Knight moves over and leans in*
<DeathStar> <Knight> Next time. Heh. *He moves off with his fellow Knights, helping them up*
<ChadWinters> <Dias> Anytime you wanna spar, give me a shout!
<Seraphna> Jaime> I will defeat him.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Of course you will.

<DeathStar> *Athena arrives with the idols*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena is back!
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Jikuu!" <Jikuu> "Victy!"
<DeathStar> *Taiga has stuff in her arms*
<DeathStar> *preparing to go*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Here. Adeline wanted you to have this.
<DeathStar> *Taiga hands Athena something and moves to go to the teleporters*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Athena thinks she missed something big
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena is back too!
<Seraphna> Thena 2> Oh! Hi Thena!
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We're going to test the reality teleporters
<Alicia> <Victoire> "What's going on?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga warps out*
<DeathStar> <Athena> .... Dunno. Everyone gone. But!
<Seraphna> **Jennifer looms up behind Athena**
<DeathStar> *Athena goes to lead her idols along when she runs right into Jennifer*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Ow
<Seraphna> **Jennifer picks her up**
<DeathStar> <Athena> I been kidnapped!
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Kitten.
<DeathStar> <Athena> *flails* Jenny!
<Seraphna> Thena> Well, Mom will be back in a week. **Jennifer starts carrying her off**
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Ummmmm?"
<Seraphna> Thena> Or two.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Take Athena to Athena's Idol Concert Room
<Seraphna> **Jennifer pouts, but does so**
<Seraphna> Thena> This will build tension.
<DeathStar> *Adeline's tails smacks Thena*
<DeathStar> *athena
<Seraphna> **Thena squeaks**
<DeathStar> *As they arrive in the concert room, Adeline has set up the Idol Machine*
<Seraphna> **Thena inspects it**
<DeathStar> *But something different about it has been added - a chair like in the bridge and a sprite in the idol machine*
<DeathStar> <Athena> This should help ease the burden of Song Magic
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Deja vu."
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "What is it?"
<DeathStar> <Athena> Anyone with progenitor DNA can lay in the chair and be power source instead of ship and sprite will help make song stronger
<DeathStar> <Athena> Plan to kidnap Drasek
<DeathStar> <Athena> Next battle
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena multitalented!
<Jackieness> <Reikana> "Right, Thena can do it."
<DeathStar> <Athena> Hm, true. *straps Thena to chair*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> I'll of course be testing to see if the drain is okay, but it should be since Jaime normally guinea pigs for Adeline.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Thena will be battery
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena go brrrrrr!
<DeathStar> <Athena> Alright, everyone - time to celebrate by eating at Katrina's bar.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "So... idols with progenitor DNA. That seems a small pool."
<DeathStar> *she walks off with them and leaves Thena strapped*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Oh umm... we should talk on the way.
<Seraphna> **Thena has Thena free her**
<DeathStar> <Athena> Bad battery

<DeathStar> Epilogue
<DeathStar> Location: Asteroid C
<DeathStar> *Taiga has the reality portals open with anyone who went with her and (or add anyone you want) and Marcus* Remember this is just a peek into each world for a few minutes to get a look and readings. We'll do a real incursion later. *She hands out cameras* Wind's Reality first
<DeathStar> *She opens the reality gate*
<DeathStar> *Ren paces*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Cool. No fighting.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Alright alright. Here we go
<DeathStar> *Ren holds her camera and rushes in*
<ChadWinters> 6Id floats in after Ren.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus walks in after Ren.
<DeathStar> *Wind's Reality has advanced a bit in 30 years or so; not that it was in great shape with the Maverick Wars and Nazis before. But now it seems to have progressed with large beautiful buildings and looks more like it's gotten to be a metropolis like something out of ZX almost, or close to it. Things look more normal and almost peaceful compared to how they were 30 years ago*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Okay, scanning for a progenitor signature - that would be Wind
<DeathStar> <Ren> Got it. There is a progenitor being on this planet. ... two progenitor beings on this planet.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "This looks like a nice place. I wonder what's wrong."
<Seraphna> **Si bounces in, Angela following**
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Maybe he had a kid.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Anything is possible.
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... we got incoming. Progenitor signature #2 headed this way. Do we bail like mom said?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Prepare to, at least."
<ChadWinters> <Id> That would be the safe move would it not?
<DeathStar> *Ren backs for the portal*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Let's get some readings before they arrive and leave.
<Alicia> * Charlotte moves towards the portal, but doesn't enter yet.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus scans like Taiga showed him, backing up to the portal.
<DeathStar> *continuing to get readings* <Ren> Hm Interesting. I think maybe someone else has entered this reality before before us. *Marcus scans show it's a definite, but which reality has been here?*
<ChadWinters> <Id> ...I think our leading guess would be the group we ran in to before
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Alright, as much as I want to stay lets go we have what we need.
<DeathStar> *Suddenly, somone in their early 20's lands before them, exiting hyperspace form and a man that looks like Wind stands there, pointing* Stop right there! *he holds out his hand like he's preparing to hyperspace blast them*
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses mid step.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Wind?
<DeathStar> <Man> You know my dad?
<DeathStar> *he squints*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ahhh... Wind had a child."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah it's a long story. We were just leaving, promise we weren't here for anything nefarious, just scoping out the multiverse and trying to figure out what's going on with it.
<DeathStar> *the first signature begins to head for them*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Actually, before we go, you had any encounters recently with people that shouldn't be here?
<ChadWinters> <Id> Other than us.
<DeathStar> <Man> Yeah, so why should we trust you. They already were clearly nefarious. <Ren> Um, because we're part of an alliance? *She says that to see if that means anything to him* <Man> Oh. You're them. *He lowers his hand*
<Seraphna> Angela> Whoa wait, did Wind make it with Megumi here?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm Marcus, by the way. Your name is....?
<DeathStar> <Ren> *makes a face at hearing that, but the man glares when a girl lands by them, looking to be a twin*
<Seraphna> Angela> Another Megumi sign. Twins.
<DeathStar> <Man> I'm Soma. She is Fuyu.
<Seraphna> Angela> ...Yep.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Zhenmei, right?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well if these two are the Progenitors, then where is Wind?
<DeathStar> <Soma> He said he was visiting your world
<Seraphna> Angela> That adds up, I crossed paths with him on Yggdrassil.
<ChadWinters> <Id> About how long ago did he come to visit?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Huh, I guess egg on our face for assuming he returned home already.
<DeathStar> *The two nod to Charlotte*
<Seraphna> Si> Time differences between realities could mean he just left here.
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> It has been some time. He is training some girl with powers of reality like him
<Seraphna> Angela> So that's what he's up to. Cute.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I feel neglected
<ChadWinters> <Id> That does track right.
<DeathStar> *Taiga beeps the group's realiy watches*
<DeathStar> *to come back*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I understand... I get overshone myself."
<Seraphna> Angela> So by your ages, we have to have been gone from here at least two decades... oh, we've got to go.
<Seraphna> Angela> We'll probably return soon. But you keep an eye on those other strangers.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Before we go, you came to take us on when you sensed us, has their been others?
<DeathStar> <Soma> *Studies the portal curiously and Fuyu steps back* If you see the old man; tell him we got things covered. *He sounds resentful*
<ChadWinters> <Id> We will relay the message.
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> Some girl that ... actually looks a lot like her. *points at Charlotte; the two twins eye her* But we know it's not her.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Take care of yourselves."
<DeathStar> <Fuyu> She came to test our world briefly to see what we had with a lot of small drones and men
<DeathStar> <Soma> Probably more will come, so we been waiting
<Xanatos> <Marcus. Thanks for the info, we'll yell at your dad when we see him.
<DeathStar> *Ren steps back onto Asteroid C*
<Alicia> * Charlotte follows.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well, we know who visited last then."
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus pauses and nods to the two before stepping back through the portal.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> While you were all gone I sent Noire and a few others through the Alt Portal
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We got the report that they did not notice anything and that Aya indeed is the ruler of Earth. They seem to have a teleport system like ours. But with what little time we had I couldn't determine who runs the PAX or if there is one
<DeathStar> *Taiga closes the portals down and sets up the defense system on them; it seems she keeps the reality portals on the Asteroid C so she can destroy it if need be*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> They've been probed by the other Adeline, Wind's kids fought them off.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hm. Right. *She marks it on the reality map*
<ChadWinters> <Id> And by probe, tested their defenses.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If she ever tries us, we can probably expect something like it. Unless she gets better. ... Infact, I might talk to Adeline how she would come at us
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright everyone, we're done for now. I need to figure out what we want to do and gain from continuing this. If you all have any ideas, tell me
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is there a reason you didn't come along?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I needed to monitoryou all here. Next time I'll go
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hm. I wonder if there's a way to trace that signature through the...hm. Actually I have no clue.
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "Hmm. Is that so?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, I know which reality they're from but they also know our reality
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Is there anything between realities, like a ....between space?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Sooner or later one of us will need to make a move
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Abetween space. Hrm
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'll look into that
<ChadWinters> <Id> Well in theory he has a point.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I mean, I don't know what I'm talking about but like a hallway between offices, something like that.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Yes. I will ask Fate and see if I can look into it.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Something should exist between branches. Much like their's space between planets
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "No, that was a smart thought."
<Alicia> * Charlotte nods to Id.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> For real? Dope. That's why I'm paid the big bucks.
<ChadWinters> <Id> Well Taiga, you could force a breach with a probe and have it abort half way through. Granted. I don't know if you'd be able to get it to return.
<ChadWinters> <Id> But you could a partition of me with to see if it's possible. If it survives
<DeathStar> *TAiga nods* If we could it would be interesting to find other ways around
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<ChadWinters> <Id> And perhaps a way to better see and travel between branches.
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods*

<DeathStar> *Erevis sips her drink while everyone works hard*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan sits down, looking serious.
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks up* Did Lenneth send you on a rough one?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Nah I nailed it, but something uncovered by it may annoy you. They've figured out how to channel hyperspace through some sort of club weapon.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...hm. Did you see the moment?
<Xanatos> <Xan> I think Chad's bot recorded it. I was being a charming diplomat.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will review it then. If The Church managed it, others will soon. I admit over the past few years, hyperspace has been used more than any time before
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It was only a matter of time before hyperspace resistance armor was made
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well, on the flip side they're open to working with us so we'll work on that with Lenneth.
<Xanatos> <Xan> But we gotta be careful with them. Religions are...volatile.
<ChadWinters> 6Durran and Erevis both seem to get a recording of it, with detailed scans, etc.
* Seraphna has joined #TAW-Session562-Minis
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is true. I joke about the Goddess monkier since Ama is one, but sometimes it does not hurt to have a bit of a reputation, but when one falls into their own hype and myths, it can only hurt them.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I know I rank high among my people and our place in the universe, and think highly of myself - that I do not deny.
<Xanatos> <Xan> It's when the people are hurt because of it that it becomes a problem, for me at least. Besides, Erevis the person is far more interesting than Erevis the goddess.
<DeathStar> *Erevis blinks, then laughs* Well, I am glad I continue to be interesting all these years. Though you are far more interesting. Every few years you continue to find something new to do. Like wood work. *she chuckles*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh did I tell you the new thing I've been researching, might start trying it soon?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. And what might it be? *she leans forward curiously, arching one eyebrow*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Pottery. I could rely on some math for woodworking but this seems like a really interesting challenge.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm going to make you a bowl....after I fail a dozen times and make mishapen lumps.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will be sure to collect them
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And count how many it takes
<DeathStar> *Athena leaps onto Xanatos and paws his face and then leaps off and runs off*
<Xanatos> <Xan> The last thing I was reading about is how many different times you put a piece to heat. There's bisque firing and glazes an-gahhhh!
<DeathStar> *Athena peeks out; Ako meanwhile deadpans, hating how she gives a bad name to "Athena"*
<DeathStar> <Ako> ... haaaa
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It sounds complicated.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Athena! 6* He blows her a kiss and winks.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Well, I may be similar to painting. Just time proven techniques to get the most out of the raw resources.
<Xanatos> (it may)
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *considers that* I can see that. I believe you will achieve it within time; you have a lot of talent. I should get back into painting. It has been some time.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm going to work my way through all the skilled labor type of hobbies and see which one fits the best. Maybe we'll get some useful stuff out of it too.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Maybe you can work with one of the children; I know some of them like to make things with manifestation, maybe they can do it the normal way
<Xanatos> <Xan> Hmm, I wonder if anyone would show up to woodworking classes. That's a good idea.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will watch your first class
<Xanatos> <Xan> Lesson 1! Turn this block of wood..into a stick!
<DeathStar> *Athena tosses stick with note on it at Xan*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan blinks and checks the note.
<DeathStar> *want your first pot!*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan hmms and nods to himself a few times.
<Xanatos> <Xan> First pot claimed!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am sure it will be a collector's edition.

<Seraphna> Jaime> Did I hear Dad is going to work with… clay?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Am I encroaching on your territory?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. You wish to work with her? *Ako leans in* <Ako> No, I am
<Seraphna> Jaime> Eh?
<DeathStar> *him
<Xanatos> <Xan> Honestly you sort've game me the idea to look into it. I've never really thought about it but I've been reading. I'm almost ready to try it out.
<Xanatos> (gave)
<Seraphna> Jaime> Would love to work with you Dad.
<DeathStar> *Ako nods; Athena eyes the two*
<DeathStar> <Athena> Hm. Bonding time!
<Seraphna> Jaime> Terra will like seeing your work too. She’s having a pottery phase.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Oh really? I was going to do sculpting but there's a certain...structure...to pottery.
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks amused at all this* Maybe we should do a family class sometime. That could be ... fun
<Xanatos> <Xan> Yeah we should.
<DeathStar> <Ako> I'll make the best the object out of all the others. *fist punch*
<Seraphna> **Jaime hugs Ako**
<DeathStar> *Ako blinks, then pats Jaime* I'll beat you too.
<DeathStar> *Ako pat pat*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ako is overly competetive
<Xanatos> <Xan> It's hard to stand out in this family. She'll achieve her goal, yet.
<DeathStar> *Ako huffs, cheeks puffed out* You'll see one day. *She wiggles her fingers as if doing spell*
<Seraphna> Jaime> **tilts her head** Sis is already great.
<DeathStar> *Ako pauses* Ah. Well. Of course
<Xanatos> <Xan> We have a new goo tube that'll let you like control the fleet. Maybe you can use that and show us your keen strategic mind.
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....or was the goo tube to power it?
<DeathStar> *Ako blinks, musing* This ship can be so weird

<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey Momma. Forming weapons?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, practice keeps you limber
<Seraphna> Jaime> I've been working on a weapon of my own.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh?
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and focuses, forming the sword, Earth, Fire and Darkness threading into the Hyperspace weapon before it solidifies with a Holy core** It's.... only about halfway done so far. It needs the rest of the Spirits blessings.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You have been coming along well
* ChadWinters has quit IRC (Remote host closed the connection)
<Seraphna> Jaime> Thanks. I'm hoping that it can become a weapon the Spirits can give to future champions.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thinking ahead?
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods** The Spirits are a part of the Zhenmei lineage now. Almost every child comes from our line now.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *thinks* I suppose that is true
<Seraphna> Jaime> **smiles and nods**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps we should take them and make them PAX Spirits
<DeathStar> *She says seriously - making it hard to tell if she is joking*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmm, well I was considering figuring a way they could be here as though it was part of Geyze.
<DeathStar> >Erevis> I will leave it to you then. *she nods* MAke it so?
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods and then focuses, slowly dismissing the weapon** Gotta be careful with that. Until I complete it it's a bit... chaotic.
<DeathStar> *Ren studies the Ulieah*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan peeks over** Hello there Renny.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hello, Kaelan. I need my own ship. Mom has one, you have one, Charlotte has one. I need one. The Renstar!
<Seraphna> **Kaelan giggles** Here I thought you’d cozy up on Char’s. It’s yours too now yah know.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I guess. But I'd make my all cool designed like
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well I suppose I can lend you Mom’s expertise when she’s done.
<DeathStar> <Ren> So what are yuo going to do with your ship?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> House the family and let it act as our floating base when we inevitably get sucked into some new adventure.
* ChadWinters drums his fingers as he sits in his work room attached to Aya's, a notebook infront of him.
<DeathStar> *Eve is working on chemistry mind calculations in a lab, fingering one of her eyes quietly*
<DeathStar> *with Evette helping het*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Sounds complicated
* ChadWinters closes the book, wrapping a band around it and setting it behind something. He get's up and and heads to the lab
<DeathStar> *Ren pauses, her ears moving* I sense .... plot!
<DeathStar> *she looks around*
<ChadWinters> Sorry for being late. I needed a moment to refocus myself.
<DeathStar> *the two Eves peer, Eve lowering her hand from her eye* It's fine, I'm just going over my labs. <Evette> Just studying the results. Aya's high fuctioning - intelligence increasing in worrying ways, chemical imbalances, same thing. We could just use a way to bring her back to normal status. <Eve> I been using what samples that has been safely kept over the years to run tests to try to see about that but I believe we'd need more if that makes sense
<DeathStar> <Eve> If you have another method to try to return her kick her out her type of Id state, I am all ears.
<ChadWinters> Unfortunately, all the avenues I've worked on are probably going to be more stop gap measures. 6He sits down at a table, rubbing his face. "I've been working hard on trying to recreate what spirit device they used to enact this but even with...at the time, the high spirits help, it's a dead end for now. And again, I'm sorry I don't have any recent blood samples of her.
<DeathStar> <Evette> Well we try not to keep too many for reasons
<DeathStar> <Eve> The other Weapons are looking into it with their powers i'm told. But all I can do is use my chemistry
<ChadWinters> Considering how many I have of my own....6He sighs his hand a bit, dismissively waving. 1"I chose my path and up to this point, so that falls on me. 6He leans back slightly, crossing his arms. 1"Even if I could talk to Chronos, I'm not a good candidate for a spirit pact anyways.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Plot?
<DeathStar> *Eve leans back, closing her one eye* Alright, we have avenues. Sample from the other Aya I can probably sythenesis a return to reboot type cure. Caducues is a healer type weapon - if he and.. *She snaps her fingers trying to remember the other girl*
<DeathStar> *Ren nods* Are you up to something important. *She accuses Kaelan*
<ChadWinters> Caduceus's abilities are limited. With XVIII's, Augendae's ability to enhance and XII, Fortuna's, ability to increase luck. His ability will most likely reach his original peak.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Me? Not terribly at the moment.
<ChadWinters> Getting him to risk burning out what little he has left will cost something but I've crossed that bridge already so I'm not worried.
<DeathStar> <Eve> Right. A virus in her system and CAduceus could burn it out could also fix it. As for the Chronos right, I'm not sure the peak of her powers.
<DeathStar> <Evette> Spirits are hard to guage. Avenir would be the best bet to study for that right now
<ChadWinters> Virulent is one of the avenues I've been working with, but that will require some other help.
<ChadWinters> Avenir isn't as strong as Chronos. Based on what Id has learned, and what I've learned talking to the spirits. Even having a moment in time recreated is near impossible with Avenir. I was hoping to atleast witness the event of her being affected for a split second but was told that's impossible.
<ChadWinters> I was hoping that even a second, coupled with my abilities, I'd be able to recreate some of the missing pieces.
<ChadWinters> But even utilizing Chronos, the cost of manipulating time is heavy. Simon essentially lost his entire life as the cost.
<DeathStar> <Eve> *Studies the labs* Well, if that is impossible, maybe one has to work around it. Find out what the spirit can do. Can she move forward in time, can she move backwards in time. Can she pause time,
<DeathStar> <Eve> But I'd use that as a last card
<ChadWinters> Frankly, considering how root abilities, I'm afraid of what might happen if she's exposed to too much spirit power, so yes. I'd like to avoid something like that unless it's our last choice.

* ChadWinters cups his hands together on the table. 1"Fate would be our best bet when it comes to dealing with time without consequence but frankly I don't trust her. And had I known something was going to happen to Aya, I would've utilized Id in another way when he went back in time."
<ChadWinters> *it*
<DeathStar> <Evette> If Fate didn't speak up, then it likely might mean that Aya could be fine.
<DeathStar> <Eve> Or Aya doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things ot her
<DeathStar> <Evette> You've gotten more pessimistic. <Eve> I don't feel the need to hide some things. *She murmurs, marking things off her board*
* ChadWinters clicks his tongue, a slight tension on his right cheek. 1"We're all just pieces on a chess...shogi board to Fate.
<DeathStar> <Fate> IF you keep saying may name so much, do you want me here or not? I cannot tell
<DeathStar> *she sits on a cabinet, hands across her chest, eyeing them*
<DeathStar> <Eve> Leave your name off my lips. Understood
<DeathStar> *Ren stalks the area with Kaelan*
* ChadWinters eyes Fate. 1"Done training with Dias for the day?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan smirks and shows her the lounge with games**
<DeathStar> <Fate> I been monitoring things since everyone is planning to begin searching other realities. But if I am not needed. *she goes to step through the wall*
* ChadWinters taps his fingers a couple times. 1"I already know that to see different branches going forward, you require a trade. What about moving backwards in the branch?"
<DeathStar> <Fate> I suppose I could make the trade. But. *she glances* Honestly, I think you all can solve this without my help. *she leans forward* I do not mind giving my aid to this if that is what you want, but I am positive I am not the right person. Avenir might be inexperienced but I could help guide her in that department. I have seen many branches in the future with Aya being her old self.
<DeathStar> <Fate> If going into the past is the correct choice then I am glad to help, but ... *she shrugs*
* ChadWinters nods to Eve. 1"You can add another option on the board.
<DeathStar> <Fate> It is not a trade I offer lightly. I have to take something important as fuel. *She frowns* It's why I would I am hesitant on this matter if that makes sense. *Eve writes down*
* ChadWinters glances back at Fate. 1"If it's our last option, I can handle the cost."
* ChadWinters looks over to Eve and Evetter. 1"I think our current paths ahead are going to be a recreating the spirit device that caused this, which most likely involves Chronos or Avenir or the branch with the Aya you would a blood/dna sample from to use with what we've gathere so far
<DeathStar> <Eve> Okay
<DeathStar> <Evette> I'll work with the remaining spirits on the device
