<DeathStar> Date: 10-653.8.30
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> *Rachael sits at the cafeteria's bar, getting Cloé drunk with her while they wait on a new assignment*
<DeathStar> *Cloé wobbles, holding her glass*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...so what are you two drinking to?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan slips catnip in the booze**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Ah. *she glances at the drink* It looks like it's a type of Cartel ale.
<DeathStar> *Cloé sips the catnipped drink and begins to act strange*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Did someone slip her a roofie?"
<DeathStar> *Cloé begins to paw Moira's face, purring*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I-It wasn't me
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...yeah...she is goooooone."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> She appears to be in a state of kitty like bliss.
<DeathStar> *Rachael looks around to make sure Bella or Cherie isn't around* Lets hope her friends don't blame me for dragging her to drink.
<DeathStar> *Cloé begins to climb up the counter*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yeah girl! Live your best life!
<Seraphna> **Nell scoots in, floating along since she can use the ship walls as a grav point** Wheeee.
<DeathStar> *as Cloé gets into more bottles, their communicators beep* <Yuki> Will all of you report to the bridge?
<Jackieness> <Moira> *looks at Cloe* "...crap..."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Hrm
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Oh sure! I'll warp those here right over. **she moves them all before anything can be done**
<DeathStar> *Yuki looks up as they all show up, Cloé holding bottles of alcohol in her hands* <Yuki> ...
<DeathStar> <Rachael> .. tell me Yurica is not on duty today. The potheads are more lenient
<Seraphna> Cookie> Whooo! Cloe gets a party time credit.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *quietly marks something down*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...this is going to be one of those days..." *pulls out her sunglasses and slips them on to hide her eyes*
<Seraphna> **Nox pops in wearing glasses and a proper uniform, acting like a perfect soldier** Oh my Cloe.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Anyway, someone give Cloé this. *She hands hypospray*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *steps on to the bridge* "Reporting for... the hell?!"
<DeathStar> *Cloé leaps on Bella*
<DeathStar> *rubbing herself against her*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... If you can catch her
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Seriously it was just alcohol
<Seraphna> Nell> Hold on. **grabs soemthing metal on her clothes and floats her up**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Must have a low tolerance.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...it as you?!" *looks at Rachael*
<Jackieness> was
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It was simple ale. She had like two glasses before she suddenly freaked out
<DeathStar> *Cloé wiggles in the air*
<Seraphna> **Nell Hypos her**
<DeathStar> *Cloé begins to sober up*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...this isn't over."
<Seraphna> Nox> **fixes fake glasses** Indeed. We'll have to build her tolerance till she can get regulation drunk.
<DeathStar> <Cloé> My head is pounding and I felt.. um, nevermind
<DeathStar> *Ben hands her water*
<Seraphna> Cookie> I will take her under my wing.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Lets not
<DeathStar> <Mireille> I'll go under your wing
<Seraphna> Cookie> My proudest apprentice.
<DeathStar> *Yuki directs their attention to the screen, ignoring the two* We got a request for a team to protect some scientists doing some research
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Boring.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What kind of research?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hey, research can be cool if it's like, dark one science or checking Moira's measurements.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> The scientists are going around examining various aliens on various worlds and studying why the men of the galaxy are rapidly declining. It seems that we are leading toward an all-female galaxy down the road.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> So they want to examine what male specimens and other factors
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I think they discovered that in humanity like... well before we used star dating.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Star dating?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Back when Earth used BCE and ADE and four numbers. Ancient days when Miyuki was born.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Anyway, gather your stuff and head to these coordinates. Um, who wants to head this up?
<DeathStar> *she looks at everyone, holding the paper*
<DeathStar> *Cloé rubs her head, ears twitching, then points at Bella after a moment*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Bella perfect leader.
<Seraphna> Nox> We have chosen Bella as the sacrifice.
<DeathStar> *Yuki hands her the paper*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Go use the teleporters and have fun. Gather your stuff
<DeathStar> *Rachael goes to get her equipment and Cloé wobbles to do the same*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "OK... B team, let's go." *heads for the teleporters*
<DeathStar> *There's a device to enter coordinates into*
<DeathStar> *Cloé arrives with a comically giant cannon that she carries, despite her small frame. Rachael walks along beside her, joining*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *walks along after Rachael* "I thought you didn't want to babysit."
<Seraphna> **Nox and Nell join in**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Eh, got nothing else to do I guess. Might see some interesting worlds.
<DeathStar> *Cloé props herself on the cannon*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Is everyone here?"
<Seraphna> Nox> Mom is in Rachael's shadow.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Alright, let's go." *steps on to the teleporter, as does Moira*
<DeathStar> *Rachael slowly turns to eye it as she steps on*
<DeathStar> *the teleporter takes the group to a strange world where they find aliens moving about that look like an off branch of a certain terrifying race of aliens of Seraphna's that have terrified the galaxy for ages*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *Glances around, then hides behind Bella*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *checks for the coordinates that they need to go to*
<DeathStar> *they seem to be outside the strange alien building of the off branch Vapaad building, the aliens moving about and talking in their strange ways*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I think we better make sure we have our translators on. I don't want to listen to that
<DeathStar> *Rachael fumbles to find her's*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I remember these kinds being extra hard because they like to talk in riddles and poetry.
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Poetry is nice
<DeathStar> *as she heads inside*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *heads inside*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Why don't you have your translator on?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I only turn it on when I go on missions usually. Most races speak Basic
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Oh I speak Vapaad.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "You cna actually understand the stoners?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... *eyes Kaelan as they get directions to the scientists; strangely though the scientists seem to be a mix of a human, Erusian, Vapaad, and a cranky Tsivrish*
<DeathStar> <Human> Ah, are you the Universal team? <Cranky> Not much to look at.
<DeathStar> *Cloé hangs head*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan smiles** I find that claim impossible with Moira in the room.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Yes, we're the security."
<DeathStar> <Erusian> I see that they're all female. We should take note of that and get scans from them. *she motions at the Vapaad*
<Seraphna> **The Vapaad with them makes noises, deep within their oversized encounter armor**
<DeathStar> <Human> We welcome you. We're going to go to various worlds and get scans and samples. We'll start here. *she shows Bella the location* There's a few samples
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **proceeds to make noises at the Vapaad and wave her arms, the translators pumping out lines of poetry**
<Jackieness> <Bella> "If the men are the problem, then why do you need scans form us?"
<DeathStar> *Cranky ends up doing the scans since the Vapaad is busy flirting, scanning each of the team* Hold still. We're doing it because females are also important.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So far she's asked us not to disturb the temple too much and something about cats playing with string.
<DeathStar> <Cloé> ...?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...and that means?"
<DeathStar> <Cranky> Just ignore the thing.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I dunno. They often talk like this. They think Darien Starr is like a savior or something too.
<DeathStar> *The scientists gather their supplies* <Rachael> I did notice pictures of red haired woman.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Is it Erevis?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Is it?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan takes a look at one**
<DeathStar> *it looks like it*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Could be her... maybe Jaime. They look so alike though.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Weird they are into them. *the scientists finish* <Human> Lets go
<DeathStar> *they lead the team to a shuttle*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *offers Bella cat snacks*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan muses, choosing not to going into how THAT THING took on Jaime's likeness before**
<Jackieness> <Bella> "I'll pass..but thanks."
<DeathStar> *Rachael finds a spot on the shuttle while Cloé sits and eats the cereal like food*
<DeathStar> <Cranky> Any of you know how to fly?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yeah, I do."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Me too.
<Seraphna> Nox> Me three!
<DeathStar> <Cranky> Good, one of oyu do it. We'll be in the lab. *They move into the lab area of the shuttle*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *shrugs and goesto the pilot seat*
<Seraphna> *Kaelan, Nell and Nox get in**
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Everyone here?" *looks around*
<DeathStar> *it looks like it*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Alright, Moira take us out."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...settle in...doing the pre-flight."
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...so..what do the rest of you think of this?"
<Seraphna> **Nox leans over to Bella** I think this is kinda neat, seeing a new place.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *cycles on the shuttle drives and takes them out*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-653.9.1
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *the science shuttle arrives at the PAX. Ao and Leyaeh clear them to enter the hanger where they examine all the science stuff*
* Alicia has joined #TAW-Session630
<DeathStar> <Ao> So you're the Universal group that wants to scan the Tsivrixsh onboard. <Human> Closest group of Tsivrixsh; plus human males nearby as well.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> Ah human males, those are rare.
<DeathStar> <Ao> Seriously?
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> Name one on this ship besides Chad and Xanatos.
<DeathStar> *Cloé looks sad at all her snacks being gone*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "We cna buy you more snack, Cloe. We're on the PAX now."
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> ...Come to think of it, Chad isn't human.
<DeathStar> <Cranky Tsivrixsh> We'd like to call a meeting of all your prominent males. So we may scan them - and your females. <Ao> I guess. <Rachael> While that's going on, you should stock up on your food.
<DeathStar> *Cloé nods and runs off, while Ao goes to do the meeting thing*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Why not just rig the PAX internal sensors to scan everyone then?"
<DeathStar> <Human> We could but we also want to ask questions
<DeathStar> <Erusian> And take blood
<DeathStar> <Erusian> We'll want take yours too later but not right now.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Bleh...needles."
<DeathStar> <Cloé> It is just a little prick.
<DeathStar> *the group gathers on the bridge where Erevis is located*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Welcome - how are you doing? Is my little Jikuu well?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan compares the picture to Erevis**
<DeathStar> *Cloé snacks as she takes a seat and the scientists set up their equipment*
<Seraphna> Nox> Hey auntie.
<DeathStar> *it looks close - maybe, maybe not*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I am good, helping out has been fun."
<DeathStar> *Some of the scientists go off to molest Xanatos*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *reports in to Yuki via comm that they are now on the PAX*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Erevis, heard of Vapaads worshipping you before?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am having Xvar come in. *As she says that, Xevil comes in and takes a seat, wearing a PAX uniform - why is going by Xvar? Well, tomorrow's session will go over that* <Xvar> I'm here. *she allows the scientists to begin jumping him for blood and data*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "...ah?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm, I know back in the day they used to call me evil and stuff. But then they called me a chosen type one. Worship though? I am not sure of that
<Dias`> *Winters seems to be ignoring the call, but his last location shows him in his Aya's PAX home, in his personal room*
<Seraphna> Nox> Surprised Talia let him go after adopting him as "The Blue Man".
<Seraphna> **Kaelan hands her a print of the picture** They have this up all over the place.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I did not know he was into music."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Interesting.
<DeathStar> 8as they talk, Jaime walks in, though her hair is much short, and wearing a suit*
<DeathStar> *The hair going up to her upper back instead of way down to her thighs*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan raises a brow slowly**
<DeathStar> <Jaime?> Ah, right. *Deep voice, as they put their hair into a ponytail* Here for the scans and blood. *They take a seat and grab a magazine, looking more like Jamie now*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "What happened to her?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Oh, that's Jamie. Not Jaime. Wow you look alike.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Oh. Him?"
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I apologise."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It's easy to mistake, when did you start leaving your room?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "So...if you're doing this on the PAX, why did you need the extra security detail?"
<DeathStar> *Jamie holds out a hand* When I started working on some projects with mom. *it's all he says*
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Has anyone seen Akatsuki, by the way?"
<DeathStar> <Cranky> Because after this we're moving to other places. And some of this blood and samples are of important people.
<DeathStar> *they finish up Jamie, Xanatos' and "Xvar's". Xvar stands up and eyes them all, then bows* <Xvar> Anything else I can help with?
<DeathStar> <Cloé> She might be on the Aquarius still?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "We might want to stock up on food before we leave then..."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan hands Xvar a pamphlet** Check out my shop when you've got time. We have Tsivrixsh fashions.
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Huh? *Ears twitch while Xvar takes it*
<DeathStar> <Erusian> Shame. We could not get a male Weapon's blood here.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Where does Kaelan find time to run her ship?"
<DeathStar> *referring to Chad not coming out*
<Seraphna> Nox> Some of my sisters run it.
<Seraphna> Nox> Not all of us wanted to be warriors, so she taught them trades like making her Shadoweave.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well, you are welcome to do non-evasive scans of the ship
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Understandable."
<DeathStar> <Human> Let us return to the shuttle and make haste to the next destination. We'll try to get more blood of a Weapon later.
<DeathStar> *they gather their stuff and head out*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Move out, team!"
<Seraphna> Nell> Weapons... those are those human mutatations right?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I guess?
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "I think they were created."
<DeathStar> <Erusian> I got a question for you, due to our next destination. *The shuttle begins to head out of the PAX, flying off*
<DeathStar> *turns to Bella*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Yes?"
<DeathStar> <Erusian> Most Biotects below Mark X are incapable of having children, correct? So - are there any male Biotect X's? *turns to Cloé* And are there any male Familiars?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Uhhhh... there are some with the male genotype... but female biotects are more popular."
<Seraphna> Nell> Mmm, there must be male Biotects, the progenitor unit of them was a male. He actually works at the Academy.
<Seraphna> Nell> Though as far as I know all familiars are Female.
<DeathStar> *takes notes* Well we should try to locate these male X's then
<DeathStar> <Erusian> Who would know how?
<Seraphna> Nell> Any Biotect company, for one. They still need maintaince and such.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Kumen."
<DeathStar> *they nod and get to work on anaylzing their material*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-653.9.2
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> *The scientists have surrounded Gwen*
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Heeelp
<DeathStar> *Cloé is sprawled out in the grass*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> So why are we buying food before we return to the ship again? *she has Terra make apples and fruit for them*
<Seraphna> Talia> Treat my Gwen gently.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhhh... their paperwork seems in order. Remember, gwen! Its for science!"
<DeathStar> *The scientists step away and leave drained and dropping weakly* <Gwen> R-Right...
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Because our fellow teammates keep eatting all the food."
<Jackieness> <Lana> *hugs Gwen to her bosom* "Come on, you need to rest."
<Seraphna> **Talia climbs into the bosom**
<DeathStar> <Cranky> It seems there are several samples here. This one, Simon, and this Mykel and a giant of a man who fights dragons. *The Erusian returns* <Erusian> Kumen is quite a mess with their President and their restrictions but I managed to get some answers. They said Biotect Mark X's are made from actual people and that means there are only a handful of models.
<DeathStar> <Erusian> Glancing at the list, I see no male names.
<DeathStar> *Gwen nods and is pulled along by Lana*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Assuming the list is accurate
<Alicia> <Asha> "To be honest, Mykel is a bit disappointing."
<DeathStar> <Human> Well, based off our results from the females and males, we have some preliminary results we can give you. After this we'll go into deeper studies
<Jackieness> <Lana> *takes Gwen to safety*
<DeathStar> <Human> The males over the past 30 years have been decreasing for all races, including other realities - we have a team doing the exact same tests. It seems that an outside factor has come into play to make the male gene obsolete
<DeathStar> <Human> We're attempting to see if we can figure out what.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Ah, obsolete? Hmm..."
<Seraphna> Nell> Huh, I thought that was just basic evolution.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Basic evolution?
<DeathStar> <RAchael> For all races?
<Seraphna> Nell> Shouldn't a concept like that be like, universal?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "The only way I could see males becoming obsolete in that way is... parthenogenesis."
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I don't want to be obsolete
<DeathStar> <Gwen> ... *Clings to Lana*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> .. irony
<DeathStar> <Human> Well, we're just turning in the results. Ever since the female race began to increase their numbers by being together, the male race began to decrease rapidly in addition to having less of them already being born. It was like a double edge sword
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Don't worry, you won't be."
<DeathStar> *the scientists bow and begin to pack up to go*
<Jackieness> <Lana> *pat pats Gwen*
<Dias`> <Id> It's because females found a way to impregnant each other while still passing on their genetic traits. It's one of the leading causes for the lack of males. It would also appear that most of the woman choose to engineer their children as female.
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Well, parthenogenesis generally creates female children, by its very nature."
<Dias`> *Id floats past Lana* But I can see why when some of their male counterparts are so weak.
<DeathStar> <Gwen> Hey
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I could defeat a giant
<DeathStar> <Gwen> If I wanted
<DeathStar> *Gwen grabs his swords and sets out*(
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "No, it's fine! You don't have to prove anything to us!"
<DeathStar> <Gwen> *pauses and returns* Oh. Okay.
<Dias`> <Id> I bet he couldn't beat a giant even if he wanted to.
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Ahhh... Id... please be considerate of Gwen's self-esteem."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> So something is making less men is what I'm concerned with. I was thinking it might be some outside influence, but if it's just evolution... then I guess there's nothing we...can do? I was thinking maybe it was the serpent causing the men to decrease or something
<DeathStar> *Gwen seems to twitch*
<Seraphna> Talia> Gwen can do it!
<DeathStar> *Gwen nods and rushes off*
<Seraphna> **Talia sneaks off after him**
<Jackieness> <Lana> "Gwen, wait! You don't have to prove it!"
<Dias`> <Id> I am confident he will only sustain minor life threatening injuries, Lana.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Wow. She totally set him up. I hope he can really put his money where his mouth is
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "Minor life threatening injuries are still life threatening!"
<Dias`> <Id> Are they?
<Seraphna> Nell> He'll be fine, he has the Elder Familiar with him.
<Dias`> <Id> But if he uses her to kill one, than would he have done it himself though?
<Alicia> <Ceilidh> "If they're not, how are they life threatening injuries?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> It'd probably hurt his self-esteem more
<Seraphna> Nell> I was more referring to her being a Healing Mage.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "This is getting stupid..."
<DeathStar> <Cloé> *tugs Moira's arm*
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Go back and report the test to Yuki?
<DeathStar> *she points at teleporters*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "I'll call it in." *walks off to the side to send the data to Yuki*
<DeathStar> *Yuki listens* <Yuki> Well if that's the result, I guess there's nothing more we can do. It seems that some of you believe that's the way of things and some of you aren't sure what's causing it yet. Lets have you head back for now either way. There's an emergency here right now and you can go over your mission once back
<Seraphna> Cookie> **in the background** Mire! Heroic mode time! Get the can opener!
<Jackieness> <Bella> "What about the scientists?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I'll have set a team on them to protect them while they return to their planet don't worry. It seems they plan to remain on Geyze for a bit, hoping to find a Weapon DNA and go over their data
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Alright, we'll be there once I gatehr the troops."
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Team, we're heading back to the Aquarius! Our relief will be called from another Universal group."
<DeathStar> *in the background, a massive giant can be seen flailing and Gwen stabbing up his back Collossus style, slowly stabbing and trying to bring it down without being grabbed; Rachael shruss and heads to the teleporters
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...he's not doing too badly..." *turns and heads for the teleporters*
<DeathStar> *the team warps to the Aquarius, where red alert lights are flashing, minus the alarms*
<DeathStar> *Cloé blinks*
<DeathStar> *Mireille is holding a can opener*
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Time to feast?"
<DeathStar> *tries to open a can of tomatos*
<DeathStar> *popping it open*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> What is going on?
<Seraphna> Cookie> Now the canned olives!
<DeathStar> <Mireille> There is none
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Somehow all our food has vanished over the past two days, despite having a ton of food
<Seraphna> Cookie> **solmnly** We're going to Defcon 4.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It makes no sense
<Jackieness> <Moira> *looks at Rachael*
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "..."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... this is why they wanted supplies?
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...ok...let's revierw the security scans."
<Seraphna> Cookie> We're raiding a food weather planet.
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Yes. I am certain we would have run out if we had not resupplied."
<DeathStar> *Rachael sets down what they brought*
<DeathStar> *Mireille brings up the video*
<DeathStar> *of the past few days on the Aquarius while they were gone.*
<DeathStar> *It shows Mireille and Cookie getting into hijinks, Ben at his terminal*
<DeathStar> *and some cute little animal in the cafeteria*
<Seraphna> Nox> There's our culprit, it's alwayus the cute little animal.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "What is that and where did it coem from?"
<DeathStar> *Mireille zooms in*
<DeathStar> *it looks like a fox*
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "What are you saying, Nox?"
<Seraphna> Nox> I think we have a Ren shaped stowaway.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Ren? Come on, Rachael. LEt's go find her."
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "She could have just asked..."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *crackles knuckles while Mireille begins to prepare the new supplies and take them to the kitchens*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *heads off to search for Ren*
<Alicia> * Jikuu and Akatsuki follow
<Jackieness> <Bella> "We should post a guard at the kitchen, just in case."
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Is it really that serious?"
<DeathStar> <Cloé> I suppose with the teleporters we could just bring in more food
<Seraphna> **Cookie helps Mire**
<Jackieness> <Bella> "If the ship systems get fried, then we don't want to be out here without enough food to make repairs."
<Seraphna> **Nox pops out, returning with Ren for questioning**
<DeathStar> *Ren looks around, confused, ears twitching*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Aie?!
<DeathStar> <Ren> I was in the middle of a report.
<Seraphna> **Nox lowers a lamp at her** Have you been sneaking food?
<DeathStar> <Ren> I was in MY office.
<Seraphna> Nox> For TWO days?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... Not the entire two days, some of it was with Charlotte. You know, doing stuff.
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "You know what mom's like."
<DeathStar> *Ren
<DeathStar> *Rachael looms over Ren*
<Seraphna> Nox> Could that stuff be eating our food?
<Seraphna> **Nox shows her pictures of the fox bandit**
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Why would they travel to the Aquarius just to eat our food?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> ..... I haven't been to your ship in weeks. Just look at your teleporter logs... *She eyes the picture*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Oh. ... Oh.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Yeah that was totally me
<Seraphna> Nox> ...!!! It was?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Sure
<Seraphna> Nox> ...That was easy.
<DeathStar> Rachael> ...
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What the hell, Ren?!"
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "You just had to check up on me?"
<Alicia> * Akatsuki seems flattered
<DeathStar> <Ren> Yep I ahd to check up on Aka and then eat your food.
<Seraphna> Nox> **quietly checks the teleporter logs**
<DeathStar> *hands Moira a bill for the food*
<Seraphna> **Nox whispers to Yuki**
<DeathStar> *Yuki's ears perk up* Huh, interesting
<DeathStar> *Ren rubs Aka's head and hugs her* <Mireille> Oh I found more footage
<DeathStar> *She sends it to everyone*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *looks*
<DeathStar> *it shows a shadowy fox girl trying to cook in the cafe after it closes*
<DeathStar> <Ren> .. .. and cook
<DeathStar> <Ren> For Aka
<Seraphna> Nox> Hmmmm.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Akatsuki, did Ren bring you any food during this time period?"
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Oh yeah, it's because of her I haven't been going hungry."
<Seraphna> Nox> Only reason I know it's not me is I'm a fruitarian.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "We need to resupply."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I'll make sure we get triple the supplies
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Have the suppliers forward the bill to Ren."
<DeathStar> <Ren> It's only fair.
<Seraphna> Nox> The only thing I don't get....
<DeathStar> <Ren> Can the Fruitarian take me back to the office? *pauses, tilting head*
<Seraphna> Nox> If they ate all the supplies, with how Cookie makes things, they should be tripping balls right now.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I--- Hm. Well. Dark Ones have a unique metabolism I suppose
<Seraphna> Nox> I suppose, but I get high and I'm a Dark One AND a Dark Spirit.
<DeathStar> *Ren squints*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Aka, becareful of what you eat from now on.
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Understandable!"
<Seraphna> **Nox takes her back, and gives her a fruit pointedly, before coming back**
<Seraphna> **It is a glowy purple dark fruiit of darkness**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I swear that Ren.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Coming over here to eat out food
<DeathStar> *our
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Hey, everyone needs to eat!"
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Go figure."
<Seraphna> **Nox rolls her eyes** Yep, that Ren. Totes.
<Jackieness> <Bella> "There is plenty of food on Earth, though!"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *Seems amused*
<DeathStar> -Mini Time Jump-
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius (night)
<DeathStar> *Rachael sits at the bar of the lets not call it cafeteria anymore but the eating space of the crew. Cloé sits beside her drinking something pink when next door in the closed cafe a noise is heard, like something shuffling about*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... are you kidding me?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Again?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...coem on." *stands and heads for the cafe door*
<DeathStar> *Mireille rises up and sneaks along with Cloé. They reach the cafe doors, which have been propped open slightly. The noises coming from within*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *pushes the door open slowly*
<DeathStar> *the kitchen is lit up like someone is cooking once again. A shadowy fox figure is moving about*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> There she is.
<DeathStar> *Cloé seems to be trembling* G-Ghost.
<DeathStar> *Mireille works on recording all this while holding a net*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...shhhh..." *creeps in*
<Seraphna> **Nox creeps along the ceiling with a net**
<DeathStar> *they creep in further, their foxy ears pick up something and they pause in their cooking for a moment, turning the lights out*
<DeathStar> *probably hoping not to alert anyone*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *just nods and waits*
<DeathStar> *the figure seems to be pausing, then turns off the equipment and a fox is taking off in the dark with some food in their mouth*
<DeathStar> *bee lining past everyone*
<DeathStar> *Cloé leaps since she can see*
<DeathStar> *but misses*
<Seraphna> **Nox leaps with the net**
<DeathStar> *Nox lands by them and misses as well, the cunning fox reaching the door*
<Seraphna> **Nox grabs at her with the shadows of the dark room, though she should be able to see in the dark**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *dashes toward the door to try to itnercept the fox*
<DeathStar> *The fox is delayed by Nox and intercepted. Mireille turns the light on, a familiar fox can be seen*
<Seraphna> Nox> Gotcha!
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Intercepted!"
<Seraphna> Nox> I KNEW it.
<Seraphna> Nox> No one confeses that easily unless they have a good reason to. Muwhahaha.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Huh?
<Jackieness> <Moira> *eyes the fox*
<Seraphna> Nox> Oh, Ren was totally covering for her.
<DeathStar> *Cloé sits up*
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "I get really hungry! I think it's something about the food here."
<DeathStar> <Cloé> Was fun training at least.
<DeathStar> *She hops up*
<Seraphna> Nox> Why not just eat more at meals?
<Seraphna> Nox>Your food is covered no matter how much you eat silly.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Well...I suppose we had better put her in the brig.
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "...with plenty of food, right?"
<Seraphna> Nox> Nah, her Momma already paid the damages.
<Seraphna> Nox> Just eat more at meals and don't sneak. And this is coming from, the future Dark Spirit!
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "But midnight snacks are always so good..."
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Hm if you like to cook, I got idea.
<Alicia> * Jikuu, having just arrived, finally speaks up. "Well, you are a dark one."
<DeathStar> <Mireille> You could work at the cafe; it's only closed at night due to not having enough staff. And cafe workers can cook and make meals and their own meals
<Alicia> <Akatsuki> "Deal!"
<DeathStar> *Cloé beams since she works at the cafe8
<DeathStar> *Dragging Akatsuki off to get her a maid outfit*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...I'm going to go take a hot bath."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> If she starts working the night shift too just to eat 24/7 I'm going to laugh
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Sounds good Moira, I'll join you.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Yeah lets go take a dip in the hottubs.
<DeathStar> -END-
