<DeathStar> Date: 10-644.7.16
<DeathStar> Location: The PAX
<DeathStar> *a meeting is being held in one of the conference rooms. Lenneth sits at the head of the table, with Erevis off to the side and Cheryl leaning back in her chair, arms crossed. Two Adelines are present and Ren glances about as Taiga makes notes on her datapad*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sits with Adeline Prime**
<Seraphna> **Si draws pictures on her datapad**
<DeathStar> *Adeline 25 eyes her, then focuses on the meeting*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...I dislike this drawn out silence. Do get on with it."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Well. You're in a hurry. Very well.
<Seraphna> **Thena bounces by and makes ship noises**
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> *she points at Adeline 25* We've had a brief respite, but we need to address her - or more speciffically, Jaime bargaining us into a war for her.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Are we pretending that her enemy didn’t possess Cheryl and try to take over our reality?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *glances at Jaime wordlessly, merely pushing her glasses back up the bridge of her nose*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *drums her fingers*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We have put more guards up at Yggdrail to block any more attempts for hostiles to come through that way. *She raises her hand*
<Seraphna> Jaime> What I’m saying is, until we kick her ass she’s gonna try to find other ways here to where the reality power is strongest.
<DeathStar> <Adeline 25> If I may. *She speaks up*
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Go ahead."
<DeathStar> <Adeline 25> I think she's already begun to make moves. What little connections I have outside this reality. *She eyes Taiga* Had indicated she might be moving against my group.
<DeathStar> *Taiga narrows her eyes*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...while it pains me to admit so, Jaime is right about this. This war actually found us first."
<DeathStar> <Ren> You mean we stumbled head first into it
<DeathStar> <Ren> Fun times
<Jackieness> <Noire> *adjusts her glasses* "Semantics. Either way, we need to deal with this."
<DeathStar> <Adeline 25> So you know what that means right?
<DeathStar> *she folds her hands*
* Dias` has joined #TAW-Session598
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I can hazard a guess.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Please continue."
<Seraphna> Thena> Transdimensional Pizza Party?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Stumbling head first into a war is my move. I'm happy to be such an inspiration to you all.
<DeathStar> <Adeline 25> That with me not there, they'll take all my ships.
<DeathStar> <Adeline 25> Specially, she'll take all my ships
<Seraphna> Jaime> Basically you want us to turn you loose.
<DeathStar> <Adeline 25> Oh no, I want you to go and help me stop her and help me gather up my fleet.
<DeathStar> <Adeline 25> I do have a large "reality pirate" Group as you call it.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... with her powers, why didn't she just take them if she wanted them?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Right. How do we stop her from just yanking them?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I take it her powers are
<Seraphna> Jaime> More like Reality-Lite.
<DeathStar> <Adeline 25> 1) I have them placed in various realities. We're not in my reality where her power is the strongest. Kaori proved that to be true.
<DeathStar> <Adeline 25> And 2) She shouldn't be able to yank the ships from me outside the 25th
<Dias`> <Id> I imagine if she did try to, it would drain her powers drastically and she doesn't want to risk it. 6Id floats up
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey Cheryl, want the emotional catharsis of payback?
* Alicia has joined #TAW-Session598
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We have to assume she'll try to tap into other reality like beings like she did Cheryl. We can't dismiss that possibility
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And Fate mentioned something was aiding her.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And why would she wants your fleet then? Why not just re-insert herself back in our reality and take the Yggdrasil through subtle means?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Is it aiding her, or using her actions to spread its own chaos?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's the bit that bothers me."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, like I said, I think that ship sailed.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Thanks to Kaori
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmm… she blocked out Cheryl but what about Him?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Him? You mean that thing we don't know the name of?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> The thing that marked me.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Do you think I can answer everything? Lets assume she didn't.
<Dias`> <Id> Are you talking about the being I talked to in another reality?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... yes. Adeline of Reality 25, have you encountered a shadowy entity that spreads discord by its mere presence?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Mmm..."
<Seraphna> Si> **shows Taiga a hard crossword question**
<DeathStar> <Adeline 25> That thing? I felt it's mind very briefly when I Was fighting you all.
<DeathStar> <Adeline 25> It was .... unworldly. I decided to let it deal with you
<DeathStar> *she rubs her head, making a face*
<Seraphna> Angela> These names are confusing me. From now on Evil Cheryl is Karen and Adeline 25 is Line.
<DeathStar> <Adeline 25> What?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Karen? Isn't that an ancient insult?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Dunno
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Line? Seriously?
<Seraphna> Angela> Perfect for the monster who used my Cherry.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Angela has a point... however, perhaps we should let her choose her own convenient name."
<DeathStar> <Adeline 25> Fine, call me Line. I could care less.
<Seraphna> Angela> Line not good? It was that or Frank.
<DeathStar> *Angela is hit with a TK smack*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *Glances at Angela*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Naming someone like she's a found pet is dehumanizing."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yeah, that was a terrible name."
<Seraphna> Angela> Ow.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do have a question. Would a fleet of PAXes even be a enough to stop the Karen Cheryl?
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Are we really going with that?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Angela doesn't get to give names to this reality's kids."
<Seraphna> Angela> Fine. 25 then.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Technically we just need one Kaori.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...yes. How exactly was your fleet supposed to fight her without entering her sandbox?"
<DeathStar> <Line> We will have to enter our reality if we are to battle her. My plan was to try to distract her and then use all my ships to blast her location. Even a holder of reality can die.
<DeathStar> <Line> The problem now is she seems to be on high alert.
<DeathStar> <Line> And I fear she will try to counter attack this reality
<Jackieness> <Noire> "How?"
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I am certain that we can repel her. However..."
<Dias`> <Id> Wouldn't that be risky to drag in another reality?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Genuine question, if she's strongest in her own reality, why would go to her?
<Xanatos> (would we)
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Because she could attack other realities."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Dad has a point.
<DeathStar> <Line> Even with Taiga blocking Yggdrasil, she might seek other ways. I cannot tell. *Turns to Xanatos* I wish to save my world. Would you let this reality lay in the hands in a tyrant?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Hm.
<DeathStar> <Line> And frankly, your promised to help
<Seraphna> Jaime> Could we lure her to one where she’s weak?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Sure but I was thinking more of the drawing her out sort of variety. 6* he nods to Jaime.
<DeathStar> <Line> You can certainly try.
<DeathStar> <Line> I doubt she would leave her seat of power.
<Seraphna> Jaime> She did once.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah through me.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Soemthine drew her to our relaity to begin with."
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "If that is the case, we have nothing to worry about, but are you certain?"
<Dias`> <Id> You would need to give her something that would force her to leave for it.
<DeathStar> *Line is jotting down reality numbers and handing it to Taiga*
<DeathStar> *Taiga puts on her glasses and studies them*
<Xanatos> <Xan> Not sure we have anything that a reality power holder needs.
<Dias`> <Id> What about that entire fleet in one location?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, it looks like Line scattered her pirates and the PAX ships over 5 realities.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If Cheryl 25 is going after these realities, we might could try to lure her to one.
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena teach Line to be Dread Pirate.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Really? I don't think she needs piracy training."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Tell us about the realities you chose to hide in?"
<Seraphna> Thena> DREAD Piracy
* Sara has joined #TAW-Session598
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Does that involve being unpredictable?"
<DeathStar> <Line> You don't want to be surprised?
<DeathStar> *She says, straight faced*
<DeathStar> <Line> One reality is a reality where the Cartel seem to have come out on one of the wars and the Suisen Empire has fallen into debt and hasn't recovered. I felt that was the prefect place to hide a portion of the PAXes in the aftermath of that
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... oof. How are the Red Pirates in that one?"
<DeathStar> <Line> One is an Oddverse where a Council of Chads overthrew Cran and now do whatever Chads do. *Cheryl nopes out*. Another is a reality where most of it is been devoured by Dark Ones.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...well don't look at me."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Not my fault either."
<DeathStar> <Line> The last two are Reality 13 which you have been to before. And Reality 65.
<Xanatos> <Xan> That Chadverse sounds like hell.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> 65 is the Michiverse now.
<Seraphna> Angela> Our worst nightmare is any reality with more than one Chad.
<Seraphna> Angela> …We must trap her there.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I wonder what more than one Chad does
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And if the Chads somehow hijack control of the fleet?"
<Xanatos> <Xan> I bet they kiss each other like...all the time.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think I had a nightmare about Chad as a kid. Couldn’t sleep for days.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I think you all are exaggerating
<DeathStar> <Adeline> All he does is stare at things and grunt. OR is that Warren
<Dias`> <Id> They say you pick on the ones you care about the most.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Same person.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Warren is the quiet grunter."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "That is Warren. Along with pill popping and declarign his enemies."
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Alright so.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Before we go after these PAXes.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> How do we lure a "God" out of 25th Reality to make the, weaker, or do we have to face them head on?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *glances at 'Line' at that*
<Seraphna> Thena> Grandpa grunts are a super secret code.
<DeathStar> <Line> My plan was to use myself as a decoy and have my pirates attack her. In our reality
<Dias`> <Id> We could offer Kaori on a silver platter and then attack
<DeathStar> <Line> Now that she is a little more wary I'm not sure if that will work
<Seraphna> Jaime> Why is she so eager to get you anyway?
<DeathStar> <Line> I'm the only group along with my Charlotte that resists her
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Baiting with Kaori would be both effective and risky."
<DeathStar> <Line> You should see our world to understand really.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is it safe to go there?
<DeathStar> <Line> Yes. If we are careful
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh? Is that part of why my counterpart is so..." <Jikuu> "Crazy."
<Dias`> <Id> Could we use Kaori to forcefully pull her here and then have Taiga lock her in?
<DeathStar> <Line> If Kaori did it here? In this room?
<DeathStar> <Line> I think she'd probably use up a lot of power.
<Xanatos> <Xan> But do we know that it's possible? Always good to know options even if they're a bad idea.
<DeathStar> <Line> I mean, she's the prime reality holder. Probably?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "If we were going to do that, we would need to prepare the battlefield first."
<DeathStar> <Line> It's why my Cheryl refuses to come here. She's a reality holder in another reality. Her power pales in comparison.
<Seraphna> Jaime>Why’d she risk it before?
<DeathStar> <Line> She did through the Cheryl of this reality. IT was a risk worth doing. If you all killed her, it was just a toy to be discarded
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Right."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Gee, thanks
<Seraphna> Angela> **gives Cheryl a hug**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So what was her goal then?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "To her, not us."
<Dias`> <Id> Well unless someone can come up with something that she'd risk everything then we only have the choice of going to her Reality and confronting her there.
<DeathStar> <Line> Ask her. She been doing it for years, right? Maybe she was setting up things. I'd check all of Cheryl's files
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If it makes you feel better, Charlotte 25 probably wants me dead ten times over."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I imagine Kaori will not want to use a massive amount of power
<DeathStar> <Erevis> She has always been hesitant to use it
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Which means she was doing this before we made first contatc with you..."
<DeathStar> <Adeline 25> If the attack on Ariel was her, then yes.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl looks side eyed*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Can we... *brings her hands together, grinding her teeth* Find a battle plan? This talk is getting me on edge?
<Dias`> <Id> Well if we're going to send people into the 25th then sending her heaviest hitter would be the smart move.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... understandable, but we are trying to determine if we cna draw her out."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I can send the Strikers out to find the ships for Line if a group wants to go the 25th to recon
<Seraphna> Jaime> So gather the fleet and recon the evil Karen.
<DeathStar> <Ren> If she said. I mean, do we want to recon this place?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Personally, I am unsure what we have to offer to draw her out until we gather more data
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Either by using these ships, bait in the form of our reality or Kaori.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Really, that's the big question. Not only is it a risk, it's showing our hand."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "This other Cheryl is powerful but not omniscient..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So either we need to get the ships, lower the barriers Taiga has to try to draw her in, or gather information from the 25th to see if she can be defeated in her home ground. Am I correct?
<Dias`> <Id> That would be our current choices.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then let us proceed.
<Seraphna> Thena> Thena will help turn pirates into dread pirates of might.
<DeathStar> <Line> Can I make a small request before we recon?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Go ahead."
<DeathStar> *Megumi slips into the room and sets down a new set of dual pistols before leaving*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Ah, what are these?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> As yes, Kaori guns.
<DeathStar> *Adeline deadpans*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> What?
<DeathStar> <Line> Can I bring along my Charlotte. She might be useful in the 25th.
<Dias`> <Id> Is she going to try and kill anyone?
<DeathStar> <Line> I'll keep her in line
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sure, though I believe we're going to have to have conditions on that. Like preventing group homicide.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Can you truly keep her in line?"
<Seraphna> Angela> I'm sure Chad has some nanotech bomb or something on hand. He does that kind of thing.
<DeathStar> <Line> *nods, eyeing Angela*
<DeathStar> <Line> Also, Cheryl needs to stay behind.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Bombs could be messy. Maybe just like...
<Seraphna> Thena> OH! Grandpa's special trainer.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine by me.
<Seraphna> Angela> Oh yeah...
<Xanatos> <Xan> Special what?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "If we are really going in, then we need to know everything that you cna share about your world."
<Seraphna> Thena> When Dias and Marcus were misbehaving, Grandpa put chips in them that shocked them whenever they did bad.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... that... doesn't sound good."
<DeathStar> <Line> Your world is demented.
<Seraphna> Angela> Warren doesn't fool around.
<DeathStar> <Line> *nods to Noire*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...it seemed to be an ineffective treatment."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He removed the chips years ago
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I think it just has a detrimental effect on their intelligence."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dias was beyond hope and Marcus proved himself.
<Seraphna> Angela> They were useful for a bit. Also kept them from trying to lay with half the girls on the team.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *facepalms* "Let's just... just move on."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You say that, but..."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Asteroid C
<DeathStar> *Charlotte 25, Char, stares at Charlotte as the group is gathered around. Taiga is inputting stuff at the computer. Erevis zips up her tactical suit*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Okay, for the first group, who all wants to go to the 25th? The remaining people will go with my team later to hunt for ships.
<Dias`> 6Dias stretches a bit. 1"I'll do the 25th thing. That sounds the most interesting.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *looks to her counterpart* "I'm sure you don't want to be around me for all this time."
<Seraphna> Si> I stick with Taiga.
<Seraphna> Thena> Bring me ships!
<DeathStar> <Char> What makes you think that? *Grins crookedly, raising her hands, chained* I'm sure we have a lot to talk about. And who knows, maybe on this trip, we can work out our differences. And while on it, I'm sure nothing baaaad will happen. *She urks as Line TK pulls her back*
* Dias` eyes everyone here, making mental notes
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... does it bother anyone that the PResident of EarthGov is volunterring to go on a bblack ops mission to another reality?"
<Dias`> *Chad*
* Dias` is now known as ChadWinters`
<Seraphna> Jaime> I suppose I'm with Adeline.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Who would pass up the chance to go and see all those Chads? *she passes up on it*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan whistles to himself, looking over his pistol.
<ChadWinters`> <Dias> Why should it? Stacey's given me several Adventure Coupons and I'm cashing one in.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I want to shoot a Chad or two, send me there.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *eyes Xanatos*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *pats him*
<Seraphna> Angela> I guess I could keep an eye on Xan. And shoot a Chad or two.
<ChadWinters`> While you're there, tell them to stop bothering me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wait
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You know about the Council of Chads?
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm convinced they're really horny for each other and I want picture proof to make this one upset.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ...
<ChadWinters`> Yeah. They tried recruiting me a few months ago.
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes Charlotte*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm jealous, a council of Charlottes wouldn't work nearly as well."
<Seraphna> Angela> Do they each have an Aya companion or something?
<DeathStar> <Char> I'd stab the, all
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "See?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...Are we sure we're gonna be good with stabby mcstabber here?
<ChadWinters`> You make it sound creepy when you say it that way and, not sure. Wasn't the top of my questions.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks at Adeline 25*
<DeathStar> <Line> Alright, once we're over I'll go into things. *She pulls Char over by her collar*
<DeathStar> *Taiga opens the portal to Reality 25, red lights flashing since it's a danger reality*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *hugs Xan and gives a kiss, then hurries through*
<DeathStar> *Adeline and Line go through with Char*
<ChadWinters`> 6An Id floats over to Durran.
<Seraphna> **Jaime goes with Adeline**
<ChadWinters`> I'll make sure she doesn't get killed Durran. 6He moves after Erevis while Dias leaps throughs
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Good luck with the ships." *heads for the portal*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I should probably go with them." *follows*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan nods. Marcus comes walking past Xan and moves through.
<DeathStar> *Ren blinks* Wow he was fast
<DeathStar> *Taiga waits a moment then powers it down* <Taiga> Okay, out of the five, I'm guessing you all want the Council of Chads first?
<Seraphna> Angela> And how.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright then
<DeathStar> *Taiga begins to dial it up*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Keep in mind, Oddverses are unusual
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm expecting every planet to be in the shape of Chad's face.
<Seraphna> Angela> It's a reality ruled by Chads. It'll be unusual no matter what.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I look forward to charting their differences
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Oddverses are ususally like..hm. How to put it. <Cheryl> Oddverses are liek that time we went through the multiverse and we came across the weirdest shit
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> When looking for Ben
<DeathStar> *The portal opens up and Taiga and Ren step through*
<ChadWinters`> 6Id floats through
<Alicia> * Charlotte follows
<Seraphna> Angela> Like that reality where we found Cameron. Then we couldn't get rid of him.
<Xanatos> 6* Xan moves through.
<Seraphna> **Angela steps through, as does Si**
<DeathStar> *As they arrive, Taiga taps some controls and the Striker Ship materializes near their entry point. Taiga steps inside and Ren finds a comfy seat; as they move through, the citizens look normal enough and nothing seems out of the ordinary*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright, we've been given the coordinates of the PAXes. We just need to contact the pirates and have them re-directed to our reality to make sure 25 doesn't get them, then do this 4 more times.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So, this is the Chadverse, right? It looks... normal so far..."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Why wouldn't it be?
<DeathStar> <Ren> I guess that's true.
<Xanatos> <Xan> That's how they get you.
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks over at Id, but says nothing
<Seraphna> **Angela and Si take seats**
<Seraphna> Si> Actually it's the scariest and most Chad like of realities.
<DeathStar> *as Taiga works on piloting the ship out, suddenly a beam of light fills the sky, and a platform lowers before the Striker. A group of Chads of all sizes, some tall, some fat, a female Chad that looks a lot like Zephyr, etc stands on the platform.; Taiga almost crashes*
<Seraphna> Si> It's completely and utterly mid.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I am blind.
<DeathStar> *The Chads seem to be talking amongst themselves*
<Seraphna> Angela> Why does the female Chad look like Zephyr?
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....I don't know that we want to know, honestly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *Rubs face*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Realities are an odd thing are they not.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I'm not sure what a female Chad would look like otherwise."
<Seraphna> Angela> Presumably, more like Cheryl. He is a Cran after all.
<Xanatos> <Xan> I love that one is overweight. Can you imagine an uptight chad being anything but in full control of his diet?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It appears they've come to talk to you.
<DeathStar> *The Chads turn toward the group* <Chads Leader?> *The Chad that looks like Chad* Welcome, reality travelers. Durran. Id. IT is good to see things are consist. What brings you to intrude upon our reality?
<DeathStar> *they float closer, inspecting*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Apparently."
<Xanatos> <Xan> Sup. Simple retrieval job, we'll be out of your hair in two shakes.
<DeathStar> <Chad Leader> And what is that, Durran?
<Xanatos> <Xan> Loving your whole vibe, by the way.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I suppose it would make sense that other Winters have created me.
<DeathStar> *as ID says that, various reality versions of Id's float around
<DeathStar> *Scanning the Striker*
<Seraphna> Angela> I like the Neon Pink Id.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Ally of ours stashed some ships and weapons away in a place no cheryl would come look.
<DeathStar> *he council of Ids*
<Xanatos> <Xan> I'm sure you can imagine this place was perfect for that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That is true
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Seeing so many versions of my brother is frekaing me out
<DeathStar> *They confer*
<Seraphna> Angela> She once tricked me by hiding a present in Chad's room because I assumed she would never go in there.
<DeathStar> *whispering and turn back, holding up a Chad in a small ball; grumpy cat Chad stares at them before touching a pad to type talk* Is this...better?
<Seraphna> Angela> ....I think I finally met a Chad I can handle.
<Xanatos> <Xan> ....yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Somehow Cat Chad doesn't surprise me at all."
<Seraphna> Si> Awww. This one's weirdly charasmatic.
<DeathStar> *The aloof grump cat Chad types* "You may procced."
<DeathStar> *The council of Chads float by*
<DeathStar> <Ren> That felt a little easy.
<Xanatos> <Xan> By the way, don't give up on our Chad. The more he grunts the more he likes you.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I like Chad
<DeathStar> *She admits, Cheryl eyeing her*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I like my brother too
<Xanatos> 6* Xan watches them leave.
<DeathStar> *Taiga begins to fly them off. The grumpy Cat Chad rubs it's paws, as if plotting*
<Xanatos> <Xan> If I hated him I wouldn't make fun of him, I just wouldn't mention him at all and ignore him all the time. Anyway they'll probably follow us so lets do this quick.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> That was fun.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We should probably avoid mentioning all these Chads to Zephyr. Lately she and Chad have been having this weird thing.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Nice to know making fun of him is the right thing to do."
<Seraphna> Angela> I am at this time obligated to be negative to Chad as long as he’s on Zephyr’s shit list.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> What are you talking about, Cheryl?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *peers at Id* Well, for once, his naming of objects. And the ressurection machine that has led to Katrina to being a shell of her former self. I'm not even sure if Katrina IS Katrina at this point
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's dead set on it being him that blew it up after she managed to rebuild it a second time
<Seraphna> Angela> Not to mention the whole thing severely fucked over Mem.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Ah. You do assume he had something to do with that.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You do realise that, since it works on DNA, Katrina and Erevis are pretty much indistinguishable to it?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, so far I've lost track of Mem aftr she got arrested
<Seraphna> **Angela looks worried**
<Xanatos> 6* Xan considers
<DeathStar> <Ren> I;m guessing only Mem can answer questions if KAtrina was brought back, but if Katrina's mind isn't there, would it metter?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "In what way?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I mean, our minds make up who we are, right?
<Xanatos> <Xan> She would be a new person, almost like Erevis all over again.
<Seraphna> Angela> Mem felt her in there.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Right. *as they exit hyperspace, they appraoch a 4 PAXes*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Mmm. So, the question is, is she Katrevis or a alternate Katrina?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It'd be a clone of Katrina; or a ressurected Katrina. I'd have to look at how the machine works
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Perhaps someone should just ask him if he did it instead of assuming.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I personally think it should be Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I wanted the machine gone too
* XanTop has joined #TAW-Session598
<Seraphna> Angela> Her suspicion is because the group that attached the machine were Weapons.
<DeathStar> *Taiga begins to send the 4 PAXes Line's codes*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Chad does not control the Weapons."
<DeathStar> <Ren> True, there are some weapons like Next Generation Weapons that do their own thing. *When suddenly, ships with Chad's face appears*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Oh you're saying there's more weapons out there then the original 11 and the ones Winters has created?
<DeathStar> <Grump Cat Chad> *Appears on screen along with a multitude of Chads* <Grump Cat Chad> You have led us to powerful ships. We will be taking these into our custody. Please send another invitation to Prime Chad.
<DeathStar> *they disconnect*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Hmmm. They were originally created by Venerator. So it would make sense he would attempt to start the project back up again. And it's only fair to assume that he would give you access to them if that happened.
<XanTop> <Xan> ...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think we need to hurry.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yeah."
<XanTop> <Xan> Do we need to kill these chads? I liked that Cat one.
<Seraphna> Angela> Signal them to get jumps ready.
<Alicia> * Charlotte does so
<DeathStar> *Taiga after Charlotte does so prepares the jump coordinates, but the Chad faced ships are blocking them* <Taiga> Gah.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright alright, we just need to jump around their block
<DeathStar> <Ren> You sure you can do that? You're not the best pilot
<XanTop> <Xan> Oi vey, I can give it a shot.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Offer them something else. Otherwise I could attempt to pilot them or atleast assist Durran.
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods and offers Xantos the controls*
<DeathStar> *Ren pauses, then offers the Chads that she will get them more Chads to join*
<DeathStar> <Ren> We'll totally get all the Chads!
<ChadWinters`> <Id> That sounds foolish.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Why?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I mean, if we get them in one spot we could kill them afterward
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Can you back that up?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> <It's a good bluff, though>
<XanTop> <Xan> *C* Is this really the way you take someone who was forthright with you? You're making enemies here.
<DeathStar> *Grump Cat Chad confers* <Grump Cat Chad> Very well. We will await more Chads as you find them. All Hail the Chad Nation
<DeathStar> *The Chad Faced ships turn and leave*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Jumping now.
<XanTop> <Xan> PHEW. GOod job Ren.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Good luck, Ren.
<DeathStar> <Ren> You're making me nervous
<DeathStar> *The Striker jumps along with the other 4 PAXes*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We'll have to deal with the fallout from not giving them Chads, though."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'll get us Chads!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "NO!"
<DeathStar> <Ren> I won't get us Chads!
<XanTop> <Xan> Maybe you could just clone Chads.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Sure!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...yeah, that's fine."
<DeathStar> *Cheryl facepalms*
