<DeathStar> Date: 10-647.7.21
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
* Dias` is now known as ChadWinters`
<DeathStar> *Cheryl has on the board a galactic map with pins in it*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> This thing has been going on all over the place.
<Seraphna> Angela> The drug?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
* ChadWinters` studies all the pins she's been making.
<ChadWinters`> And I'm not seeing a pattern for why yet.
<DeathStar> *The pins seem to have started from the deep regions in Cartel and Erusian space and have been swarming in toward Earth, but a ton of have been hammering in on Kumen and Geyze*
<Seraphna> Angela> Seeing a clear source and endpoint.
<ChadWinters`> Source could be a misdirection.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I should question Ren and her Flufumoo group if she heard anything while in that club
<DeathStar> *Lemon sticks her head into the room* John sent a call in from Kumen. We might have a situation
<Seraphna> Angela> Oh great.
* Alicia has joined #TAW-Session621
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And that is?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> One of the spirits used Vision. He doesn't know more than that.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl pauses, peering at Chad*
* ChadWinters` rubs his face a bit.
<ChadWinters`> Seem's like a pretty reckless and stupid move.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then we have a dead spirit on our hands.
<ChadWinters`> Potentially.
<Seraphna> Angela> Well… there’s a chance the spirit survived.
<ChadWinters`> I think the survival rate so far has been what...below 5%?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If that so far. Should we go or send John's team or Darien's?
<ChadWinters`> If John's already there, it'd be quicker to send them. I'd like to be here incase someone tries to make a move here.
<Seraphna> Angela> I think the survival is more dependent on a certain aspect of the person, but yeah the percent is low.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. *Lemon moves over to eye the board* <Lemon> Do you think we should bring Repliforce into this?
<Seraphna> Angela> I’d wait until we are sure we need a military.
<ChadWinters`> Something tells me that Cran already has his thumb on this so he's waiting to make his move.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hopefully being a drug problem, Cassandra won't let him send his reploids to investigate
<ChadWinters`> Plus, unless we have some kind of evidence that this is anything more than just a drug pandemic, there's not much they're going to do.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And he has to do it on his own time
* ChadWinters` pulls out his datapad, sending a message to someone.
<Seraphna> Angela> The plus side is… can they even take drugs?
<ChadWinters`> Are they alive?
<Seraphna> Angela> Yes but they doesn’t mean they can metabolize chemicals.
<ChadWinters`> If this drug does what it should do, then it could affect them in the same way also.
<Seraphna> **Angela leans in to Cheryl** I don’t think his speciality is biology.
<ChadWinters`> Regardless, I'm staying here so I can deal with anything Earthside. If you want to go and give John back-up Angela. Go for it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lets keep our eyes and ears open people
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> <Gwen> So is it true?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Mykel closed up things after Salamander did what she did?
<Seraphna> Talia> Pretty sure won’t stop Salamandy’s biggest pact keepers from checking.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What was she thinking?"
<Seraphna> Talia> Since one is Momma.
<DeathStar> *Selena muses* True, can you all use your pacts with her?
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses and tries to summon her**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *from th background* "...probably was trying to investigate the effects personally."
<DeathStar> *after a long moment, a copy of Salamander appears, then appears to fall over, turning into a faded spirit and falling over*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Gah!
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Taking unknown drugs with no medical assistance is no-GAH!"
<DeathStar> *Then turning into spiti energy and fading away*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...probably not a great idea to summon anymore. Could kill her for real."
<Sara> <Ellie> That seems... really bad.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah that’s not good… **she frowns, then calls Edna**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *pushes up her glasses* "I can't even hypothesize without examining Salamander personally... and the Legion closed the border."
<DeathStar> *Edna doesn't seem to respond*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I'm sure it is. Did the spirits even... I don't know how to explain..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> She must be focused on her mother. But she needs to be intercepting summon calls.
<DeathStar> *Kalam steps out of Lana's labs, holding some equipment* I'm going there - one way or another.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Also fuck borders. We’ll go right there.
<DeathStar> <Selena> You realize this might end up causing an incident, right?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh, a spirit potentially dying might end up causing an incident?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> And Mykel can enjoy a fried ass if he tries to make one.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Fair enough
<DeathStar> *Sylph peeks out at the group*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "We need to do this. It's too important to not."
<ChadWinters`> *Id floats about, recording this for future references*
<Seraphna> Jaime> We’ll keep the adults away.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Going in there while the borders are closed would cause the incident... tough closing the borders is...ahh... stupid. The experts on spirits are all outside LEgion lands."
<Seraphna> Jaime> He wants to continue to enjoy PAX benefits he won’t stop me.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> *peers at Sylph spying* Do we use a carriage or try another spirit?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Yes, but we're already on the verge of an incident anyway."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I’ll teleport us.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh... maybe if we teleport in from the PAX., then call it a Suisen inervention of behalf of their ally"
<DeathStar> *Sabrina joins them, having been gathering extra stuff*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Right."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I didn’t go invisible did I?
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... *Waves his hand in front of Jaime*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> That could potentialyl be dragging the Suisen Empire in and cause other issues
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Where...where did...she go?!
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Lana... Talia... Where did Jaime go?!
<Seraphna> Jaime> Salamamder is a member of the Royal Family.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *just stares*
<Seraphna> Talia> I confused.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> No one understands my greatness
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Ellie does though
<Seraphna> **Jaime starts readying the teleport**
<Seraphna> **Talia vanishes on her own**
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes a paper* Son of a bitch
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
<Seraphna> Si> If he really sent a bill I’m burning down that club.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Do I need to inform Ymir of more of his misdeeds?"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Jaime is teleporting into Mykel's lands right now. <Lenneth> Goddammit. I'm so glad Iko made sure not to do a seperate alliance with them or we'd be in such trouble. <Iko> Technically the Cartel are going to ream us for breaking the borders of an alliance nation anyway
<DeathStar> *Ren shows the paper* He's charging me interest every day I don't pay the 80,000 coin. It's now 103,000.
<Seraphna> **At the same time one of the ladies of the Legion sends a request for Suisen assistance**
<Seraphna> Si> Okay I’m burning it down.
<DeathStar> *Iko sees the request* Oh bugger it all.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We'll deal with it appropriately, in a way that won't blow back on eiher Erath or the Suisen."
<Alicia> * Charlotte continues sending more evidence to Ymir. "It is only my civic duty to report these crimes, I'm totally not doing it because he pissed me off."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm sure that level of interest is also illegal."
<DeathStar> <CHIP> *To the girls* You know...you could just...pay it instead of getting into it with a gangster
<DeathStar> <Ren> *rips the paper up*
<Jackieness> <Noire>
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And where do we get that money?"
<Seraphna> Si> But it’s feel so good.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Aren't you all rich?!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I could, but I don't want to reward him."
<Seraphna> Si> Maybe not Noire. Keeps having to rebuild Cassandra’s house.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Gang War it is. *changes voice box to gangster*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I have a small income for my personal expenses, while my sister is the one who actually owns the apartment."
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
<DeathStar> *John walks with Hotaru and Tabetha and the rest for the space port* Alright we need to head to Geyze to observe what has happened and make reports to Cheryl. This Vision crisis has gotten critical up here and from what I've observed the past few days, the under belly has gotten dangerous. Need to have a chat with this Ymir fellow about them - see if she's in their pocket.
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Isn't Ymir a woman?"
<Seraphna> Tabetha> And a fauna.
<DeathStar> <John> Ah, maybe she's already been collared.
<DeathStar> *John thinks* A collared fauna leader.
<Seraphna> Tabetha> I believe she is dating a dragon.
<DeathStar> <John> Can't they be collard too?
<DeathStar> <John> Not judging
<Seraphna> Tabetha> Have you collared us?
<DeathStar> <John> Nah, it's the other way
<DeathStar> *John gets into their shuttle* But seriously, we should examine this Ymir later.
<DeathStar> *As he is reaching for a button, he pauses* Hey, Tabby - Hota
<Seraphna> Tabby> Yes~?
<DeathStar> <John> Take a look who is arriving at the space port
<Seraphna> **Tabetha looks over**
<Alicia> * Hotaru watches, as does Michi
<DeathStar> *Arriving in a Repliforce shuttle and emerging, wearing the Repliforce signia, is Peter Sullivan and Vodka, likely sent instead of a Reploid due to them being human. The two look around, peering at their datapads, then begin to move into the city*
<DeathStar> *Vodka reaching over and tossing the signia from their clothes into their pockets*
<Seraphna> Tabby> Old team mates!
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "I guess reploids would be too obvious."
<DeathStar> <John> *Drums fingers* But it also means Cran is sticking his nose up here
<DeathStar> <John> Come on, lets go.
<Seraphna> Tabby> Okay.
<DeathStar> *he flies off for Geyze*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *The group arrives in the Capital of Legion*
<DeathStar> *where the technology is always much more modern compared to the rest of the planet*
<DeathStar> *Sabrina and Selena glance around while Gwen squints at his face being on some holo screens*
<Seraphna> **Jaime heads right for the temple**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Interesting.
<DeathStar> *As they near the temple, some of Mykel's guards seem to be there with Anti-Spirit Armor to keep other Spirits out - or a Spirit in?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Alita should be meeting us with Talia and a Void. **knows better than to commit the real Void**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I believe that is Anti-Spirit Armor.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Probably a defense with the adults fighting. **she approaches**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "I haven't seen any spirits trying to get in... maybe Salamander went berserk."
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Mmmhm. Interesting. It's designed to slow attacks from a spirit but it'll break all the same
<DeathStar> <Kalam> If a Spirit is intent
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That's worrying, either way."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> So more of a stop-gap then a permanent defense against them.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Here to see Salamander and Edna.
<DeathStar> *The guards eye them* You're not on Mykel's list
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Should I deal with them?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Have you checked for Princess Jaime Zhenmei of the Suisen Empire?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Then get him. This is a potential emergency, at least."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "We have spirit experts to assist!"
<DeathStar> *The guards eye the name list, then Jaime* No.
<DeathStar> *looks at Lana*
<Seraphna> **Alita speaks up** If I’m not on the list I hope you have a pen, boys. **steps up with Talia**
<DeathStar> *They eye the paper, then Alita, then step aside*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I guess that works
<Seraphna> **Alita motions the rest to follow her**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *follows*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> To think that Jaime is less important than Alita here.
<Seraphna> Jaime> It is her kingdom.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Though Salamander might he pushed to learn her pacted are being kept from her. **she notes do they can hear that part**
<Seraphna> *pissed
<DeathStar> *Gwen, Kalam, Sabrina, and Selena follow into the warm volcano shrine where .... Salamander is sitting with Edna, discussing something; off to the side, a lava shape outline of a person can be seen*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> She ... looks fine
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It would appear so.
<Seraphna> Alita> My Lady Salamamder… Lady Edna and… is that another aspect of my Lady?
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Welcome everyone.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh... what's going on?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> We got worried when one of your proxies kind of… died in front of us.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Lady Salamander... how are you doing?" * The tone is more worried than merely polite
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Ah, that has been happening
<DeathStar> *She nods*
<DeathStar> *Gwen finds a seat*
<Seraphna> Alita> You took the Vision?
<DeathStar> <Salamander> My proxy took the Vision formula, actually
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Well, one of them
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "...how are they doing?"
<Seraphna> Alita> I see… but it has affected you?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> And is this when your proxies started to...die quickly?
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Myself, no. But they keep returning to the planet. I should back up a little. I been talking with Edna. *The teenager Spirit has begun to pace* The Vision actually showed me a little something
<DeathStar> <Salamander> From my proxy before it ... became that. *She eyes the lava outline*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> And what did it see?
<Seraphna> Jaime> It’s still holding a form… sort of?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...very strange..."
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Where I - or at least some of us spirits came from. <Kalam> If you remember that much, it would help immensely. *to the others* We've been trying to learn about Spirit Cores and who made them the past few months
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Interesting..."
<DeathStar> <Salamander> We believe the Croza had a hand in the Spirit Cores of the Croza Spirits, due to their cores having numbers on them, but the Geyze Spirits have no such things
<DeathStar> *Kalam
<Jackieness> <Lana> *nod nods* "Amd they are like facsimile's of the Geyze spirit cores too."
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Even when we tried to take a core apart, all we got was massive amounts of spirit energy exploding out of them and going back into Geyze
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Whereas when I assembled my spirit core copy, it absorbed a massive ammount of spirit energy from Geyze."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "That makes sense. Perhaps they're crystallised spirit energy."
<DeathStar> <Salmander> Well, from taking Vision, I do not know if this answers your questions, but.
<DeathStar> <Salamander> I know that Aska, Void, and Shade mimiced bringing me to life the way they and the Elder Spirits did then waiting massive amounts of time. I seemed to awaken when there was enough energy in the planet after they seemed to bring forth my consciousness and after there was enough of it, force it into the core.
<DeathStar> <Salamander> It was like I was asleep before that.
<Seraphna> **Jaime tilts her head** Remember anything from that sleep? Like a dream?
<DeathStar> <Edna> She claims not
<DeathStar> <Salamander> I just feel like those three forced me awake
<Seraphna> Jaime> From the Aquarius’ reports, they said the fires they found when they revived Pyro and Chronus the crystals and cores there seemed to be made of familiar souls. People we knew. So we’ve long wondered if the spirits weren’t a sort of rebirth.
<ChadWinters`> *Id floats over the lava outline, scanning it*
<DeathStar> *it seems to be just spirit energy left over, returning to Geyze*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Like reincarnation?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Shouldn’t proxy energy return to the spirit even when they “die”? I don’t think I’ve been interested in observing that moment.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Likely."
<DeathStar> *Kalam seems to be thinking*
<Seraphna> **Alita muses, feeling out Salamamder’s core**
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Interesting.
<DeathStar> *The core remains too small for her being*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Is Salamander able to do a copy yet?
<Seraphna> Alita> Well your core hasn’t changed and seems to be with you.
<DeathStar> <Salamander> *tries to do so, but the copy seems to break apart instantly*
<Seraphna> Alita> I wonder if the drug didn’t poison your proxy ability. Edna you will have to handle her summons for now.
<Sara> * Ellie jerks
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I think we have a worse problem.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Worse?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "If you know what is going on, please say."
<DeathStar> *Kalam seems to be doing equations while they talk*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I believe and Lana would need to confirm this theory, but my scans are showing me that Vision somehow attached to the Proxies spirit energy. Instead of disappearing, it's essentially returning to Geyze's overall Spirit energy.
<DeathStar> *Salamander jerks*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Basically, the well has been poisoned.
<DeathStar> <Edna> And what does that mean?
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...Vision was... a trap!"
<DeathStar> <Edna> Oh
<Seraphna> Alita> We will have to cleanse it then.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh... who would benefit and why?"
<DeathStar> <Kalam> ... there might be two reasons to try my idea then. Listen
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Doubtful, Lana. Whoever made this, had no idea it would happen. It most likely is an unexpected reaction.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Whoever created Vision is going to die a most painful death.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I want to take Avenir to Sasha's pyramid
<DeathStar> <Selena> Why?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Because who would of thought a Spirit would injest it.;
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Who indeed..."
<DeathStar> <Salamander> I did it because someone gave it to my priestesses
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Not even I would've expected that.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Do you know who?"
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Telling them directly it would help them understand a past life.
<Seraphna> Jaime> And someone distributed it to the students, who the kids learn with.
<DeathStar> <Salamander> All of them are now dead
<DeathStar> <Salamander> They said it came from Kumen.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "But just dismissing it as an accident could be dangerous too..."
<DeathStar> <Kalam> *pulls Lana over to her*
<Seraphna> Alita> Word from Kumen is distribution is worst around the Ancient Spirit temples.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Lana.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I'll be honest. This is something that we have little data on so I don't know if there will be a way to remove it from Geyze's Spirit Energy. *Id starts to glow a bit*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I want to try to view the past using Avenir, without tampering with it if possible. We need more information on the Spirit Cores and where the spirits came from. These cores in the Spirits are inadequate and it might allow us to learn more about what's going on with the overall Spirit Energy in the ground. How do the cores form,. how do Spirits form, why have no other worlds have Spirits even after 12,000 years
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well we do have other spirits, but they aren’t rooted in a single world.
<Jackieness> <Lana> *gives a nod* "Right...I cna build a core... but we don't even know why there even are cores."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Momma Kyo for instance and the other Rune Spirits.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Well, if you can get data on the Rune Spirits, but from what little I know they're tied to runes and have little to do with our situation
<ChadWinters`> *Id stops glowing* I have confirmed that there is indeed Vision and it's components inside Geyze's Spirit Energy. It is very low currently. It's probably affecting Salamander more, because it's more attuned to her.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "I feel like there should be more spirits, though. Even if Geyze is the most spirit heavy..."
<DeathStar> *At that moment, Void appears in the room. Salamander turns her head, and immediately sets him ablaze*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Holy. *She dives, trying not to be caught on fire*
<Sara> <Ellie> Aah!?
<Seraphna> **Alita shields him with Spirit Energy**
<DeathStar> <Void> ...Annoying
<Seraphna> Alita> Salamander, even irrationally Void is not an aggressor.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Void.
<DeathStar> *Salamander keeps flaming and Edna has to try to cancel her out as Void turns to Id*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "What was that about?"
<DeathStar> <Void> Yes?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Nothing. Just greeting you
<DeathStar> *Void floats, then suddenly pauses, flickering oddly, then pulls out his blade and stabs Salamander in the chest, pinning her to the wall* <Edna> What the hell?
<Seraphna> Alita> My Lord. It seems the Vision drug has taint—- errr…
<DeathStar> <Void> *flickers and and pulls out his other sword, aiming it at her head*
<Seraphna> Alita> Lord Void!
<DeathStar> <Gwen> That's no good.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *aims her wand* I'll fire. I'll do it.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It would appear Void is not happy with Salamander at all.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhhh?!"
<Seraphna> **Alita reaches out to join with Void and keep some control**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Cripes…
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Is everyone going crazy?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Or is this some sort of new greeting?
<DeathStar> *Void thrashes about and bucks with Alita, then seems to crumble like a copy*
<Seraphna> Jaime> The elder spirits did not…
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ahhhh?"
<DeathStar> <Kalam> .... *looks like a lost for words* The Elder Spirits are most to be immune
<Seraphna> **Alita shudders as parts with it**
<DeathStar> *suppose
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Id, you need to say it..."
<Seraphna> Alita> I think it might have been Vision…
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Did Void destroy it's own Proxie to keep Alita from interfering or did it...*Id quickly begins to scan the parts of the proxy as it crumbles
<Seraphna> Alita> He may have lost connection to his proxy. That… flicker
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Right before the attack. You should try to contact the real Void right away."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Absolutely."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I'm totally lost; I thought he current spirits were crazy due to their cores being too small. Is this Vision going to make it even worse?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It's because he had traces of Vision in it's spirit energy.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It might be some kind of control."
<Seraphna> **Alita frowns and feels out for him** My Llrd something happened to your proxy.
<DeathStar> <Kalam> If Spirits like Sylph get Vision in them with their smaller cores.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Oh, the Vision thing is going to make everything worse."
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...ahhhh...possibly orders of magnitude worse."
<DeathStar> <Kalam> They will be unrecoverable
<DeathStar> *She turns to Ellie*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> I'm not talking proxies. I'm talking the real thing
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It is most likely that it picked some up from this area as it replenished it's spent supplies.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "So, how do we clean it out?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns, then sends a message off**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "For Geyze, this Vision incident is potentially apocalyptic."
<Sara> * Ellie looks grim
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I would suggest minimizing any use of Spirit energy. It'll only continue to increase and spread the more it's used. Proxies being the easiest way for it to spread
<Seraphna> Alita> It seems my Lord cannot make proxies either.
<DeathStar> <Edna> I need to get mom out of here then
<DeathStar> <Edna> Less she gets that tainted spirit energy in here. <Kalam> Best none of you kids get it in you, either
<DeathStar> *Edna warps out with Salamander*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I have a feeling all the proxies will start to fail until we cleanse the energy.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "...if we can cleanse it..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> But this is a point of miasma.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Infact, it maybe prudent to remove all proxies from this planet and have them cease to be away from Geyze. And then to not create any proxies
<Seraphna> Jaime> I just had Terra relate similar to Gnome.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It maybe wise to remove the children also. We should let Kumen's Spirits know also so they can prepare.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yes. Also.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Man
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Getting rid of the proxies will upset a lot of people
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Screw them then
<Seraphna> **Jaime floats the magma figure left up and holds out a hand, it glued with hyperspace as she removes the tainted creature**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "The alternative is the end of the world."
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "It can't be helped."
<Seraphna> **glows
<ChadWinters`> *Id scans the process to see what happens*
<Seraphna> **Jaime appears to be warping the energy away somewhere**
<DeathStar> <Gwen> So it's over?
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Lets hope so
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Lets get back to the Academy and work on that project and learn more about the cores and proxies
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Where did the energy go?"
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I doubt it. It's possible that those who took it who had Spirit energy in their bodies have added to it
<DeathStar> <Selena> I fear that it's already in Geyze.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> When they died.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I’ll have my people contact Kalam to study it. But a containment cell to hold energy.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hoping I got some of it before it could get worse.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Lana and I will keep tabs on the level at which this contamination is growing
<DeathStar> <Selena> But maybe that'll help slow it down
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Good enough."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "We need to find some way to purify it."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Guess that'll be our job
<Seraphna> Jaime> Not letting my family suffer from this without a fight.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> The fact that at such a low level, it's affecting the Prime Spirits from maintaining Proxies. I can't fathom what will happen if it doubles.
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Come on, Spark
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> *Darien, X, Ariel, and Aya come in, having been checking things out in Mega City* <Aya> Repliforce has been moving a high scale operation led by Cole and Blue. They been taking down old V.I bases and turning them upside down the last few days it seems, and digging through files. It looks like they also been sending operatives into deep space and Kumen and Geyze
<ChadWinters`> That aligns with my reports that Peter and Vodka were seen on Kumen.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> That's a lot of man power to get a drug off the stereets.
<ChadWinters`> No doubt Cran got his hands on Vision and made the connection.
<Seraphna> Angela> Well, guess Cran suspects Vennie. Nothing new.
* ChadWinters` leans back in his chair, his finger tapping on the arm rest.
<ChadWinters`> It's because this has Venerators fingerprints all over it, Angela.
<DeathStar> <X> I mean, we all can see that coming. I just don't see the play yet
<ChadWinters`> Neither do I.
<DeathStar> <X> Mass killing never was his style. He wanted to change the world.
<DeathStar> <X> Toward his twisted ideals, mind yo
<DeathStar> <Aya> I mean that was long ago, he kind of dropped that hat
<ChadWinters`> I can't see this being a scorched earth policy.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Last we saw him, Zephyr like dragoon bustahed him
<ChadWinters`> He could've gotten his hands on that Resurrection tech.
<ChadWinters`> Or made a clone, or an AI copy of himself.
<Seraphna> Angela> Or someone took his chair.
<ChadWinters`> Could've survived it also.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> All of that is not ideal. We'll just have to keep looking for that needle - before Cran. The fact Zephyr hasn't reported anything back is annoying
<ChadWinters`> Too many unknowns right now.
* ChadWinters` nods to Cheryl.
<ChadWinters`> Agreed.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Should I go to Kumen? <X> You're needed here more. I'll go
<ChadWinters`> X. I'll have one of my team meet up with you. Give you back up.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Becareful. *he eats Lemon's lemoncakes*
<Seraphna> **Angela sighs and sets up a check on Zephyr, then sips tea**
<DeathStar> *X nods and moves out. Meanwhile, Cheryl has begun to make a frowny face with the pins*
* ChadWinters` looks down at his datapad and clicks his tongue
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Zayne has begun to prepare to leave, giving Sunny Jr. all the stuff she needs*
<DeathStar> *Gwen runs around the Academy while Selena looks over Celes' notes*
<DeathStar> *Kalam has begun to hook Avenir up to Sasha's pyramid*
<Seraphna> **Talia rallies a familiar and cat fauna army to stomp out the remains of icky Vision in the academy**
<Seraphna> **Jaime is going around to check on the spirits and caution their guards and worshippers on the danger of Vision, the Spirit Poison she titles it to increase the scare factor**
<DeathStar> <Kalam> Alright when we finish this, we should be able to hook ourselves up in the pyramid and find out information in the past without becoming involved in it using Avenir's time powers. *She looks worried about something*
<DeathStar> *Sylph sits on a branch*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> So basically you believe we can use her as a holodeck to view the past.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhhh?"
<DeathStar> *Zayne leaves Sunny behind*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> That's my hope. I just fear using this much spirit energy that this Vision stuff might creep in so we need to becareful; we'll need to pick a team to do this. Mostly those who want to undertake and will understand, and leave those behind who can handle any problems.
<DeathStar> <Avenir> I'm totally clueless when it comes to science
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I will have a shell remain behind to help with Lana.
<DeathStar> *Sabrina and Sparkling, patrolling while flying, spot something odd down below near the Magi Tower - people who are wearing the Magi Cloaks but seem to have Kumen tech have a Sylph with them, standing there stiffly, indicating a proxy*
<DeathStar> *the person leaning over to inject something*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Sparkling. Look
<DeathStar> *Sabrina lands and rushes at the mage, who fires a "magic" bolt, knocking her down*
<Alicia> * Sparkling does indeed look
<DeathStar> *while the other two mages*
<DeathStar> *pulls the Sylph along, who follows their order*
<DeathStar> *moving for the trees*
<Alicia> * And once combat starts, Sparkling wastes no time in blasting the the mages
<DeathStar> *Sabrina rages at being hit and unleashes a magic attack that fries a mage, leaving nothing but a cape*
<DeathStar> *While Sparkling's knocks them over*
<DeathStar> *The two mages sit up, and use a fakeish attack to blow themselves up, making it look like a magic bomb*
<DeathStar> *The proxy meanwhile though has begun to sway*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "Sabrina, calm down.."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> *pants* Haa..haa..r-right.
<DeathStar> *She rises, her eyes returning to normal*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "... were we too late to save Sylph?"
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> ... those bastards. *She moves over to the Sylph proxy, who is already turning into like a puddle of green nothingness, wind blowing away and spreading across Geyze*
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> Did they kill the real Sylph?
<DeathStar> *she twitches, rage barely being contained, dark magic bubbling*
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "...no, but we need to find a way to stop this."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> We need to ... tell the others not to let the spirits make any copies or proxies. *she fiddles and breaks her communication* ..... *after a long pause* You ... call them
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<Alicia> * Sparkling does so, hoping she can get the information out fast enough
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
<DeathStar> *Ymir marches for Quad 6 with her troopers. Asarar has been monitoring things from a rooftop, peering down, smoking* ...
<DeathStar> *watching Ymir head for the one club*
<Seraphna> **Luci touches down in Dragon Form and shifts back, moving to join her**
<Xanatos> <Logan> How you see this going? 6* He leans over slightly, looking down.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "And what has drawn Ymir out of her ivory tower?"
<DeathStar> *Ymir can be seen knocking on the door* I hear you are extorting a Suisen customer. *the club owner pauses, then ahhh's, then shows the contract with Ren's bloodied thumb print "consenting" for life saving operations, facial contraction and a list of injuries* <Ymir> *Glances over it* <Club Owner> Oh, and. *plays the tape of the group threatening to attack him and his bar*
<DeathStar> <Club Owner> So she didn't want to work off the hospital bill as a dancer and singer. She still owes me the money for saving her life. She's lucky I didn't press charges for their threats.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> ...
<Seraphna> Luci> **quietly places down video of the cells** And this is you “medical room”?
<DeathStar> <Club Owner> Cells? You mean the back rooms where she was quietly recovering?
<Seraphna> Luci> I didn’t say cells, you did.
<DeathStar> <Club Owner> They were kept locked for her own sake. And to make sure she didn't run off before paying. Many people are known to do that.
<Seraphna> Luci> Yes. People guilty of kidnapping and trafficking.
<Seraphna> Luci> The police enforce debt collection. Not you.
<DeathStar> <Club Owner> And how often do the police show up. Now, have you come here to pay the money owed me?
<DeathStar> *Asarar takes a drag*
<Seraphna> Luci> The police are here.
<DeathStar> <Club Owner> Oh, I see. *hands Ymir something then*
<Seraphna> Luci> **eyes it**
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...of course, if they close this place down... what about the other half dozen on the same block..."
<Xanatos> <Logan> Kidnapped someone and then charging them is pretty brave.
<DeathStar> *it seems he's filing charges for them threatening him and refusing to pay* <Club Owner> Please make sure you see to that for me
<DeathStar> *he closes the door*
<Seraphna> Luci> Not sure he gets that doesn’t change his charges.,
<Seraphna> Luci> May I?
<Seraphna> Luci> Cuz now he’s resisting arrest and obstructing.
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Right now we don't have proof of kidnapping - technically. And I'm the President, not a police officer and neither are you
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Lets go Luci
<Seraphna> Luci> She got us the image of the cells…
<Xanatos> <Logan> Looks like they're leaving, Luci looks pissed. What's our play?
<Jackieness> <Kira> *glances at Asarar*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We can just attack the place later.
<DeathStar> <Club Owner> Tell you what.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I could kidnap the owner or arrange an accident."
<DeathStar> *He opens the door* Go inside. But just know it'll cost your Presidentency later when I come at you with a big fat check for harrassing me
<Seraphna> **Luci takes Ymir’s arm and turns to go** He doesn’t know what he’s asking.
<Seraphna> Luci> We should go before I get hungry.
<DeathStar> *Ymir's armed troops come along as well*
<DeathStar> *Asarar crushes her cig under heel*
<Seraphna> **Luci walks with her then her voice pops up in the team’s head** <Asshole thinks he can use paperwork to not only kidnap people but extort his victims. Have fun.>
<Jackieness> <Kira> "He probably cleared out the incriminating evidence already."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well maybe we can get one of the fauna to talk
<Seraphna> Luci> <He’ll have left something. Ego is too big.>
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We need one of these clubs to talk if we're going to learn who wants to take Cloe
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Mmmm-hmmm."
<DeathStar> *Asarar studies her files* Alright lets see if we can talk to the dancers later. *she pulls out Yuki's card she was given*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> Location: PAX even
<DeathStar> *the PAX falls out of hyperspace for a moment or two*
<DeathStar> *before resuming*
<Xanatos> 6* Xan pauses and sets his cup aside, leaning over to check his datapad for ship details.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> What the heck was that!?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> ... *Studies the readings* ... strange
<DeathStar> <Adeline> .... *Stands up as Erevis looks a little odd, leaning against a console at the same time as the PAX*
<DeathStar> *before having to sit*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "What did just happen?"
<Seraphna> **Leyaeh has teams check for boarders**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I need to run some tests. One moment.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Everything okay? 6* He asks Erevis
<DeathStar> *she moves over to the computer and seems to be going back to the last few minutes*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> ...Hmmm. I wonder. CHIP, may I have access to your internal scanners and sensors?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I felt sick - almost like I was pregnant sick but worse. The type that you wish to upheave your stomach
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> Do you even get sick?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Rarely anymore since I regained hyperspace
<DeathStar> <CHIP> There seems to be nothing odd at the moment... <Adeline> I'm not too sure.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> Something definitely happened and I’m suspecting to hyperspace.
<Xanatos> <Xan> Why would the ship have a malfunctiont he same time you got sick?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Leyaeh is correct. Hyperspace for a brief moment had something go through it
<DeathStar> <Adeline> As if it was contaminated.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> CHIP, please scan for this chemical. *Id sends him the information*
<Xanatos> <Xan> What's your suspicious Id-bot?
<DeathStar> *CHIP begins to scan*
<Xanatos> (suspicions)
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Hm, there was sign of it for a brief moment a little bit ago. I believe due to the vastness of hyperspace it likely has passed
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> **starts checking in with the other Progenitors**
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "How worrying."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Hmmm. I see.
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Confirm that the time matches up to this event. *He sends the data*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "What happened at that time?"
<DeathStar> *Adeline looks and stares*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I need to go
<DeathStar> *She moves off and pratically leaps off the steps*
<DeathStar> *heading off the bridge*
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "What happened at that time?!"
<Xanatos> <Xan> ...is no one going to tell us what happened?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Jaime sent something through hyperspace.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> Words please.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Or more or less used hyperspace form
<Xanatos> <Xan> Jaime has a hyperspace form? Is that new?
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Adeline had better be checking on Jaime..."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> Yes, that would be the more correct description;.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> And it got out of her transfer?
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I fear that Vision has made it's way in to Hyperspace briefly.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I'd be more worried about Jaime
<DeathStar> <CHIP> IF she uses hyperspace again she might suffer damage
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...ah... is that only her?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. *She nods to XAnatos* She can use it without trouble unlike Athena or Isis
<ChadWinters`> <Id> The fact that it is currently affecting Geyze. I can see that it's possible now for it to affect Hyperspace.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And probably uses it too much. We need to make sure she does not do it
<Xanatos> <Xan> Does that mean she's on drugs and we're going to need to do an intervention?
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I will get the banner out
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> So I should tell Jennifer to get ready to.. clean hyperspace?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "If she can, yes."
<ChadWinters`> <Id> I believe we should keep tabs on it to see if it's affecting it or if it was destroyed right away.
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "I think that might be beyond even her capabilities."
<Xanatos> <Xan> You feeling okay now? 6* he asks Erevis
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> If she warped something here it would have gone to Energy Containment. We rigged that up the last time one of you went batty.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes; I do not wnat to say it is hopefully contained wherever Jaime has it, but we do not want it in the larger hyperspace either
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Good work."
<Xanatos> <Xan> We would be seriously weakened if you hyperspace folks get infected by this drug.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> If it is near us, we should investigate. Also we should use lightspeed for now
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Just to be safe
<DeathStar> <Syiean> Well this will take forever
<Alicia> <Kyouki> "Agreed. Hyperspace travel is for emergencies."
<Xanatos> 6* Xan tries to call Jaime.
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *Jaime gets a call while Kalam sets up things at the pyramid*
<DeathStar> <Kalam> *puts some supplies inside while Rain supervises*
<Seraphna> **Jaime pauses on her previously mentioned campaign to warn temples, eyeing it**
<Xanatos> <Xan> *C* Hey, we just got weird readings of a drug in hyperspace. You okay?
<DeathStar> *Seniga looks over Sunny Jr.* You can hang with us since your mom left. We're stuck here at the Academy too since Kumen is dangerous right now
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think so? Did my package take that long to arrive?
<DeathStar> *Cloé nods*
<Xanatos> <Xan> *c* I guess so, Adeline ran off the bridge, it made your mom feel like she was going to vomit. You need any help?
<Seraphna> Jaime> **peers at herself** I feel fine? It was magma filled with drug tainted spirit energy. Should only have been enough hyperspace to get there or vaporize it.
<Xanatos> <Xan> *C* Alright we'll look into it on our side and make sure we're good. Call if you need us...or to chat your pops.
<Xanatos> (with your)
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses and scans herself for the drug**
<DeathStar> *while the people who are going are in the pyramid, Gwen leans on the wall, when Lana's comm beeps*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *checks the comm*
<DeathStar> *a call coming in from Sparkling - it also seems to be going in toward Jaime *
<Jackieness> <Lana> *c* "This is Lana."
<DeathStar> *Lana can hear Sabrina cursing in the background as she talks to Sparkling*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I guess I’m heading back the old way… **taps her comms**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *c* "Uh-huh... uh-huh..."
<Alicia> <Sparkling> *c* "We have a problem... one of the sylph copies..."
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns and rushes to find Sylph**
<Jackieness> <Lana> *c* "Did it involve the drug Vision and the spirit proxy going poof?"
<Alicia> <Sparkling> *c* "Well, more like melting, but yes."
<DeathStar> <Sabrina> The enemy is force making the copies to take the drugs. We don't know how many are compromised!
<DeathStar> *She yells*
<DeathStar> *due to Jaime not being able to use hyperspace, she is a bit slower now
<Alicia> <Sparkling> *c* "We need to stop all the spirits from making proxies..."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Crap. *he looks around the academy*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *c* "...ok..." *turns* "Id, its time to readjust your variables. They were coming in and trying to forcefully inject the spirit proxies*
<Jackieness> ."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> How do we get in touch with the others?!
<Seraphna> **Jaime grumbles and keeps looking, mud skating for now**
<ChadWinters`> *Id takes another sample of the Spirit energy*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *c* "...we'll do...something..."
<DeathStar> *the spirit energy looks more wrong now*
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "... are they trying to destroy the world?"
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh... Gwen, call Ymir on Kumen and tell her about this. She knows where the spirits on Kumen are."
<DeathStar> *Gwen runs for the Alliance doors when Ellie/Sylph's tree explodes*
<ChadWinters`> <Id> It has increased.
<DeathStar> *Sending tree pieces everywhere. *Cloe merowls and is slammed back*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *c* "Ahhhhh?!"
<Seraphna> **Jaime also calls for some more outside help and people who don’t mind a little corruption**
<DeathStar> *Sylph lands on the ground as Jaime arrives; Sylph's spirit form jerking about wildly*
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Someone get on Alliance comms to the rest of the Geyze nation states and warn them that the spirits are under attack!"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Ugh.
<Seraphna> **Jaime curses and holds out her hands, doing her best to stabilize her** Get Ellie!
<DeathStar> -To Be Continued-
