<DeathStar> Date: 10-654.7.24
<DeathStar> Location: EarthGov Ship
<DeathStar> *near the end of the battle, right before the serpent's end*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> A gaping hole has been left in it's gut. What do you want to do?
<Dias`> <Chad> Target all ships weapons on it. It's our only opening we have.
<DeathStar> *Zephyr fiddles with the weapon systems and begin to target it; at that moment the other ships begin to join them, including the Universal ships, the Erusian ships, and so on*
<Dias`> <Chad> Kane and Id will keep tabs on the sensors trained on it. If something changes we'll react.
<DeathStar> <Iceheart on Comms> Lets see if we can tear it apart from here. *The lower areas start regenerating at a rapid rate*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well that's just annoying.
<Dias`> <Chad> It's expected. Just keep focusing on it for now. If it's focused on healing their than it maybe weakening somewhere else
<DeathStar> *As they fire, strange creatures begin to flood out of the stomach, attacking the ships closest; they swarm the Universal ships and head for the EarthGov ships and the Tsivrixship ships. The small creatures firing beams much like the Serpent*
<Dias`> <Chad> Defensive maneuvers. Have a 1/4 of the ships shift focus on stopping them.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Understood. *She leans over to issue the orders* What even are those?
<Dias`> <Chad> Id, Kane. What are the scanners saying?
<Dias`> <Chad> See if you can get the Maka to try and intercept them and help out.
<DeathStar> *The scanners seem to indicate they are defensive bodies of the Serpent, which Kane announces*
<Dias`> <Chad> Interesting.
<DeathStar> *Zephyr sends the order out to the Maka to go fight the mini Sepent anti-bodies*
<Dias`> <Chad> Have any ship overwhelmed jump to hyperspace out of range then come back in and start up again.
<DeathStar> <Warren on comms> You sure that is wise? They're taking down ships pretty well. *He notes, as they seem to be blowing up ships with their beams*
* Jackieness has joined #TAW-Session651
<Dias`> <Chad> You have any better idea on dealing with them?
<DeathStar> <Warren on comms> They're fast and nimble. A lot of our ships aren't unfortuntely.
<DeathStar> *the anti-bodies seem to enjoy rapidly ganging up on ships*
<DeathStar> <Warren on comms> I have an idea. But you won't like it
<Dias`> <Chad> We can use the fighter fleets and the Gear's to help the Maka deal with them then....What is it?
<DeathStar> <Warren on comms> IF the Maka and Gears can't handle them, wait until they group on on the ship and blow said ship up. IT might take down a group.
<Dias`> <Chad> Problem is, they're coming out of the wound we're destroying. If we stop attacking then they'll stop also. But, you have a point. Start having ships under seige evacuate they're crews. Id will take them over and and detonate them as a last restort.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If we could get one of the sieged ships into the wound and maybe blow it up, you think it might help speed up the Serpent's death?
<Dias`> <Chad> Angela's beta's will help slow them down. They're not doing much damage to the serpent.
<Seraphna> **As if listening to them there the Betas redirect**
<Dias`> *Chad leans foward, his hands cupped together as he thinks.* It'd have to be one that will cause a lot of damage. Which most likely means a flag ship.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh boy. Not it. *Referring to their's*
<Dias`> *Chad swipes and brings up a list of the most equipped ships*
<Dias`> <Chad> Unless you think your bustah can cause as much damage.
<DeathStar> *Iceheart's, naturally, is pretty well stocked, with Warren and Arhn on it, observing things. And the Tsivrixsh Warship with Kyun and Shretrav, which seems heavily damaged right now*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, hard to say until we get in there.
<Dias`> <Chad> Without a good pilot, I assume it's not 100%. *He taps his fingers now* Send the potential plan to Iceheart and Kyun. Kyun's would have the best bet since it's already damaged.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Understood.
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Luna
<DeathStar> *Blue arrives with her Repliforce team that she brought; Alouette looking around as they approach the Governor's mansion*
<DeathStar> <Blue> According to our sources the problem might be here.
<Seraphna> **Anyata guards Allouette**
<DeathStar> *As they walk along, they spot the guards for the governor being KOed*
<DeathStar> <Blue> Weird....*she pushes on the front door and it creaks open*
<Seraphna> Anyata> Perhaps they were forced?
<DeathStar> <Blue> Be prepared for anything. *Vodka checkst their vitals*
<Dias`> *XIV walks with the group having joined them under Chad's orders* By who?
<DeathStar> *sitting in the living room area the Governor sits tied up, gagged. He spots the group and begins to muffledly cry out to them, trying to draw their attention*
<Dias`> <XIV> KO'ing is usually done by someone that has a strict code. Not someone that's trying to take over a moon.
<DeathStar> <Blue> Doublely weird.
<Seraphna> Anyata> We must check on the goddesses.
<DeathStar> *Blue squints and moves toward the Governor* Lets see if he knows anything
<Dias`> *XIV looks around, trying to see if she can come up with what happened here*
<DeathStar> *She'd see traces of what looks to be a scuffle, but as for the governor, it looks like someone tied him up. As Blue ungags him, he begins to rapidly speak* Youmustsaveme - acrazygirlattackedme!
<DeathStar> <Governor> Sheisdangerous!
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I think he said some crazy girl attacked him
<DeathStar> <Blue> What do you all think?
<DeathStar> *Vodka walks up, checking the Governor out for wounds*
<Sara> * There is a note next to him in neat, cute handwriting about how he moved Luna and the effects it was going to have on Earth
<Dias`> <XIV> Idlet, access the security feed for here. Confirm what happened.
<DeathStar> *Vodka pulls the note off of him*
<DeathStar> <Vodka> Hm
<DeathStar> <Governor> That is fake!
<DeathStar> <Blue> Yeah yeah. Lets check out back
<Dias`> *The Idlets works on accessing the security feed while XIV moves to check out back*
<DeathStar> *the feed shows the confrontation between the two, then Sunny finding the spiked tea as she healed two Tsukiyomis - and then being joined by Zayne out in the shrine area*
<DeathStar> *As they head out back, more goons lay around*
<Dias`> <Idlet> It would appear he is lying. *It shows the footage in a 3D hologram*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> He is a bad man. <Blue> Great. Lets check on the goddesses then I'll contact the local popo
<DeathStar> *As they reach the shrine, they see the two Tsukiyomis working to try to fix Luna back into position, with Zayne there arms crossed; likely acting as a body guard for Sunny*
<Dias`> <XIV> Zayne. Seems you two have this wrapped up.
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Who knows. The entire police might come after us once they hear the Governor was taken down by my daughter.
<Sara> <Sunny Jr.> I get the impression that most of the police hated him anyway. *she notes over her shoulder*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Oh?
<DeathStar> <Zayne> With this planet, I can never tell
<Sara> <Sunny Jr.> Someone who only cares about themselves pays their goons in peanuts
<Dias`> <XIV> Luna's...an odd place. It's been run by loyalists for awhile so....
<DeathStar> <Blue> Who should we contact about that fool then anyway? *Zayne thinks, then hands Blue a number - likely Christina's*
<Sara> <Sunny Jr.> Well in any case Luna wouldn't survive without Earth anyway so it's their loss if they wanna be mad at me.
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I wonder what his master plan was. To become the moon of some other planet?
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Or bargain with Earth to return?
<Sara> <Sunny Jr.> I wonder if he even thought it through. Just seemed panicked to me
<Dias`> <XIV> Depends. If Earth didn't survive and they managed then come, back and be fine. Maybe he was convinced by a Hunter or cultist that they'd be spared.
<Dias`> <XIV> When they interrogate him, we'll find out
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Church Ship
<DeathStar> *Lorelei leads the group through the ship, with Shizuki trailing behind. Thanks to the removal of a certain Nyarl, the mark removal has kept her around and the group's time table has been sped up so they weren't barricaded in the room. But they still need to get out in one piece*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> How are we going to destroy this thing and get out?
<Alicia> <Asha> "Feels like two different questions."
<Dias`> <Durt> Well...we have a few options.
<DeathStar> <RAchael> I mean, we don't want this ship erasing more people. I feel... like we barely escaped it before
<DeathStar> *Shizuki looks sheepish*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Can we blow the whole ship?"
<Alicia> <Asha> "We've been here before?"
<Dias`> <Durt> We either take it over completely so that we don't have to destroy it. We take it the ship up to overload after a certain time so we can escape. Or someone stays behind.
<Dias`> *Then set*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "So, we take it over, or set a timebomb."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> The Church usually has people of faith that can erase everything. They were using Shizuki to do it. They'll plug someone else in
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What do we do with this thing if we take it over? Its not like we can use their glorified wishing stone."
<Dias`> <Durt> We destroy it when the fight is over.
<Dias`> <Durt> It's not tech that should be in anyones hand.
<DeathStar> *Lenny muses, thinking* I suppose if we wanted to try to take it over -- we need to try to take the control room. Which they likely will have put all their forces in
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Or we could hit the engines and be done with it. Our shuttle might could do that
<Dias`> <Durt> That or the engine rooms.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What if we could vent the control room?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Hm.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You think we could?
<Dias`> <Durt> And how would you go about that?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Is it even connected to the airlock?"
<Dias`> <Durt> Potentially, yes. Most ships route at least something to the outside incase of poisons or radiation leaks.
<Alicia> <Asha> "We could smoke them out anyway if it's not."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Precision strike. We'll need to take engineerign first... but... we could take control of the environmental system and start sucking the air out of their control center."
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Now that's a plan."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Alright, lets take engineering then. IT will be protected as well
<Alicia> <Celeste> "The bridge and engineering are always protected."
<Dias`> <Durt> It's a directio nat least.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We're gambling on them concentrating most of their forces on the command deck."
<DeathStar> *Lorelei's fox ears and tails appear and forms halo like foxhole* I'm blind jumping this - I'll go first. I'll send a signal if I made it. <Shizuki> That's risky
<DeathStar> *Lorelei leaps through*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Risky, yes, but better then letting them regroup while we dither." *leaps through*
<Alicia> * Celeste goes after
<Jackieness> ((NEvemrind the leaps through. Fmissed Lroe's line))
<DeathStar> *a few moments pass, then those with marks feel something*
<Alicia> * Celeste still goes, even so. It's less risky for two than one.
<DeathStar> *Celeste's jump is rough, following and she is bounced along, probably like Lorelei was*
<DeathStar> *hitting a few walls that Lorelei had to travel*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei catches her at the end*
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Okay, rougher than I planned for, but it's still fine."
<DeathStar> *Lenny follows immediately after the signal is sent and lands by Celeste*
<Dias`> *Durt moves through after Lenny*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *heads through for real this time*
<Alicia> * Asha follows once the marked have gone through, waiting for them to
<DeathStar> *they seem to be inside engineering, where Church zealouts patrol*
<DeathStar> *Guarding the engines*
<Dias`> *Durt kneels, looking around quickly
<Seraphna> **Truth ducks low, the twins pulling new stuff out of their bag**
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves under cover*
<DeathStar> *the Church zealous seem ready to erase people on sight*
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> They look armed again *she whispers*
<Dias`> <Durt> Can we take out their sight?
<DeathStar> *the engine room has lots of machineary to duck behind and move, thankfully; pipes and other stuff; but to get close one must go out into the open*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Hmm
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I don't have that magic
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **nods and muses**
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> I can kill with death aura
<DeathStar> <Wyrd> Slowly
<Alicia> <Asha> "No good, they'll know."
<Dias`> <Durt> I don't have any smoke bombs. But once this kicks off we need to go in hard. *He looks at Wyrd* The moment you kick that in, they'll start searching.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan holds out a hand and floods thrm with darkness**
<DeathStar> *The church loyalists turn, then begin to use their powers, probably to "see"*
<Alicia> * Celeste moves for the controls
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Take them down now!
<DeathStar> *Wyrd leaps out with her and swings her scythe*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...what/moira *draws her sword and dashes forward, moving to cut down any that she strafes past*
<Jackieness> <Moira> *draws her sword and dashes forward, moving to cut down any that she strafes past*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan stabs into the shadows, her blade coming out at one’s neck**
<Dias`> *Durt darts out towards where one was before it went dark, moving to tackle by driving his thumbs in their eyes
<DeathStar> <Lenny> *Attacks immediately along with Shizuki. RAchael sets one on fire*
<Seraphna> **Michelke uses True Aim to fire at one blindly**
<Alicia> * Asha does so, Celeste moving in from a different direction
<DeathStar> *the guards are all dropped rapidly and lay about in a pile*
<Dias`> *Durt finsihes his guard off by snapping their neck and he looks around, waiting for the darkness to clear*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Some of us should doublecheck for stragglers while the others get to work with the plan."
<DeathStar> *Wyrd sinks into the darkness to search*
<Alicia> * Asha is already searching
<Seraphna> **The twins kick at one and take his lunch money, or just samples of their gear**
<DeathStar> *The Twins take his robe off*
<DeathStar> *leaving him naked*
<Seraphna> **Kaelsn clears the darkness**
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ... Sia. Lia..
<Dias`> *Durt moves towards the main controls of engineering*
<Seraphna> **Sia puts a censor bar on him**
<DeathStar> *Lorelei hangs behind Durt* So, can you do it?
<Dias`> *Durts looks at it, before pulling out his Idlet* Hacking isn't one of my strong suits.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I have to say, Moira, you come up with devious ideas
<Alicia> <Celeste> "Can't say it's mine either, but I'll help."
<Dias`> <Durt> Unless you have a basic idea on the principle, the only help you can do is by making sure nobody destroys my Idlet.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Once we do our plan, we take control of the bridge, and go help the space battle against the Serpent.
<Dias`> *Durt begins hooking it up*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Space
<DeathStar> *While the Tsivrixsh Flagship moves for the wound, the antibodies keep pouring out. Iceheart's flagship struggles to keep them off, as does Fox's fleet*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We need to blow it up soon. *she notes from Earth's ship. Over on Iceheart's ship, Warren is tapping his cane*
<DeathStar> <Warren on comms> Will the Tsivrixsh cruiser make it?
<Dias`> <ChadComm> We're going to start taking losses than. But we can focus on making sure it makes it there.
<Alicia> <Fox on comms> "I'm doing what I can."
<DeathStar> *Zephyr moves for the top of the ship to start firing her bustah*
<Dias`> <ChadComm> Send what ships you can to intercept and protect them than, Red.
<Seraphna> **Two Betas accompany Zephyr**
<Dias`> <ChadComm> I think I have the number calculated that's needed to keep the wound open wide enough for the Tsiv flag ship to get inside.
<DeathStar> *the Universal ships keep firing at the flood of antibodies*
<DeathStar> <Warren on comms> What do we need?
<Dias`> *Chad's eyes shift to silver* About 74% of the fleet needs to remain attacking. The rest can focus on the antibodies and guarding.
<Alicia> * Red's ships move to support the Tsiv cruiser... as many as can, anyway.
<DeathStar> *Warren takes note* Alright. We'll do what we can with our fleet. We can't allow the stomach to send any up toward the PAX
<DeathStar> *the fleets pick up the enemy Church ship headed their way*
<DeathStar> <Iceheart> Oh great
<DeathStar> *it begins to target ERusian Angels and erasing them*
<Dias`> <ChadComm> Have the Cartel fleet start lightspeed jumping their drone fighters into the wound to help damage it. That should compensate if it's spaced out proper.
<Dias`> <ShivaComm> Understood.
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "Do they possess some manner of reality manipulation?"
<Dias`> <ChadComm> Something like that, yes.
<DeathStar> *Warren turns to Arhn* I don't know. You might want to have Xeres focus on that ship
<DeathStar> *As he says that, the Church ship stops suddenly*
<Dias`> <ChadComm> That means the other team failed to stop them....It's acting odd.
<Seraphna> Thena> Strike team must have got ‘em.
<Alicia> <RedComm> "They might've just succeeded."
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "I will still tell our forces to use caution."
<DeathStar> *At the same time, the Tsivrixsh flag ship speeds up, getting closer to it's target; the church ship begins to target antibodies*
<Alicia> <RedComm> "Strike team made it!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *begins to fire from the top of the ship*
<Dias`> <ChadComm> ...It appear so. Let's make this plan work.
<DeathStar> *with the extra fire power and how much firepower they've committed to the wound, the Tsivrixsh gets in where it's suppose to be, and a moment later an explosion goes off; the Serpent's insides likely shaking. It pauses, no more antibodies flooding out*
<Dias`> <Chad> Kane, assessment.
<DeathStar> <Kane> Regeneration is continuing to happen, but for the moment the antibodies are likely paused to refocus on speed healing
<DeathStar> <Warren on comm> That should give the PAX a window to do it's attack
<Dias`> *There's a moment as Chad seems to process that* <Chad> Have any ship that need to recover use this moment get back in fighting shape. The rest continue to lay in to the wound
<DeathStar> *Iceheart orders their firing* Lets get this thing opened up. I don't want any antibodies reforming
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Luna
<DeathStar> *The Governor is handed over to Christina and the officers under her; at this time. Blue taps her comm* <Blue> Ah, good news everyone. It looks like the Serpent was defeated a few moments ago. *out in space, explosions in space can be seen*
<Dias`> <XIV> That's a relief.
<DeathStar> *Zayne turns her head to look, studying everything quietly, while the Governor demands Chris arrest Zayne and Sunny*
<Sara> <Chris> With respect sir, you have the right to go fuck yourself.
<DeathStar> *The Governor opens and closes his mouth in shock*
<Sara> * Sunny has her mouth covered in surprise
<DeathStar> *Zayne turns, but even with her emotionless state, one can tell she approves*
<Dias`> <XIV> I suppose now things get politically complicated
<DeathStar> <Blue> I guess his Lt. Governor or whatever will take over
<DeathStar> *As they talk, suddenly Sunny would be hit by a wave of nausea, dizziness, and a bit of pain*
<Sara> <Sunny> A-Aah...? *she stumbles*
<Sara> <Chris> Odds are next elections we risk getting someone even worse, 'cause that's life. But at least we get to see it happen.
<Dias`> <XIV> It's not something I want any part of. The machinations of greedy power hungry people.
<DeathStar> *she'd feel like she'd see another face in front of her vision for a moment as Zayne kneels, looking concerned.* <Zayne> Sunny?
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> M-Mom...? *she rubs her eyes, looking like she feels sick*
<DeathStar> *Thankfully, it passes, for now, as Zayne helps her up* <Zayne> Are you okay? *She looks concerned* I can attempt healing magic if you need it. *the word attempt sounds strained*
<DeathStar> <Blue> *finishes her call on stuff*
<DeathStar> <Blue> We'll remain here a bit longer, then head back. Cole will stay on Earth for now. *Vodka meanwhile is checking Sunny out*
<DeathStar> *doing the doctor thing*
<DeathStar> <Blue> XIV
<Dias`> <XIV> Yes?
<DeathStar> <Blue> Lets help escort Christina to the police station. Just incase anything happens.
<Dias`> *XIV nods* He may have a back-up plan in place.
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I'll keep an eye on the Goddesses!
<DeathStar> *Zayne lifts Sunny into her arms, deciding to follow for now*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-654.7.25
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *The damaged PAX floats near the Serpent's head, and near the littered battle field of space debris, making space travel hard. Docked in the hanger is the Church ship, along with many other ships*
<DeathStar> *Cuddles gives a check up to Kaori and Victoire, clearing them to go do what they want after Yggdrasil*
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> You're free. No more trees.
<DeathStar> *Adeline, for her part, is in Katrina's bar, asleep in the booth*
<DeathStar> *Ren and Charlotte are back after returning from the drone stuff*
<Dias`> *Durt plops down ona crate outside the church ship, looking tired*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *is soaking in a hot bath in Andrea's PAX apartment after getting back*
<DeathStar> <Ren> You look as tired as we feel. *She notes to the Lorlei group as she walks by*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You look as shit as I feel
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We don't want to talk about it."
<Dias`> <Durt> Same shit different....skulls.
<Alicia> <Asha> "I'm looking forward to just... relaxing back on Geyze."
<Dias`> <Durt> That'
<Dias`> <Durt> That'll be the day.
<Dias`> *Dias runs in to Kat's bar, pounding his fists on the counter* I NEED BOOZE!*
<DeathStar> *Lenneth has retreated to hr room leaving Erevis in charge*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I... don't know how I feel about the tree being gone."
<DeathStar> *John follows, with Hotaru and Tabetha on either arm*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?" *grabs her mobile off the side and pings Ren*
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Hm. I wouldn't say it's gone. You and Kaori still have powers.
<Alicia> * Terra hands Dias his booze. "On the house for that. If you hadn't, I wouldn't be here to give it to you."
<DeathStar> *Ren seems to be working her way toward her room with Charlotte*
<Dias`> <Dias> Oh silly bartender person. This won't be enough. I haven't had anything to drink in 3 years.
<Dias`> <Dias> Just put it on Earthgov's ex Vice President Stacey's tab.
<Alicia> <Terra> "You'll have to pay for the rest... yeah, that works."
<Jackieness> <Noire> *calls Ren* "Back, are we?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> We are
<Dias`> *Dias sets the empty bottle done he was gifted as she says that*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I trust your excursion was not as disgusting as my own?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> No, we mainly dealt with drones. What did you deal with?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... giant white blood cells."
<DeathStar> *John comedically pours his booze in Tabetha's cleage*
<Alicia> * Hotaru just drinks hers
<Dias`> *Dias grabs the next bottle of booze with his right hand, his left arm still tucked in his gi.* John! How'd punching the inside of the snake go?
<DeathStar> <John> Slimey - next time I wear gloves. But fun. We--- *Erevis suddenly comms everyone* <Erevis> Everyone. Sorry to ruin your relaxation. Please come to the conference room
<DeathStar> *John slams his face into Tab's breast*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...really?! I'm in the bath!"
<DeathStar> <Ren> *turns to Charlotte* You want to go check on you know who or should I before we go to the meeting?
<Dias`> <Dias> ....But...*He sighs and defeatedly heads towards the conference room*
<DeathStar> *Erevis sends a link to the meeting in the bath*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'll do it. It'll be fine."
<Dias`> <Durt> ....*He looks at Lore* We going or no?
<DeathStar> *Erevis sends a meeting link to the bar*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lets just have it sent here. I don't have the energy
<Seraphna> **Jaime warps Adeline and herself**
<DeathStar> *Adeline jerks awake as they arrive.*
<Seraphna> **Tabetha pats John and helps him up**
<DeathStar> *Ren arrives; in the corner is Noire in the bath, due to the link*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hey Noire.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *logs in from the tub* "How will you ruin our fday further, mmmmm?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sorry, nap well?
<DeathStar> *Fate has taken a seat*
<Dias`> *Dias makes record time and hops to sit on the conference room table* I already punched the giant snake in the head. What more do you want?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe you might have fun with what I have to tell you then
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Is the serpent... not dead?"
<Dias`> <Dias> You want me to punch it again?
<DeathStar> *Lorelei's face can be seen from the hanger, watching*
<DeathStar> *Athena logs in from the idol ship*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... after we had already killed it from the inside."
<Dias`> *Chad logs in from where ever Earthgov is meeting for the debriefing*
<DeathStar> *Taiga takes a seat and folds her hands* <Erevis> First, to help you understand the situation before I inform you what it is
<Dias`> <Durt> God....It's the stupid thing I've been training for isn't it? She...it...whatever it is, is making it's move.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "... already? Don't villains usually wait a few months at least before starting their evil plans?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Even though we came out of the battle relatively well - and I use the term well loosely for an end of existence fight - all our races took hits. None of us came out ahead. The Tsivrixsh lost Kyun and Shretrav I believe. A lot of our forces are depleated and the other races are unlikely to be in position to aid us right now. Probably part of the reason this move has been played
<Dias`> <ChadComm> It was something we knew would happen going in.
<DeathStar> <Chad> In other bad news, Xevil, even under his new name, has been approached since the battle by some Tsivrixsh. He's turned them away though
<DeathStar> *CHIP
<Dias`> <ChadComm> I suppose that was only a matter of time.
<Dias`> <Dias> Xevil's back? When did that happen?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "That doesn't sound so bad. I'm glad he turned over a new leaf."
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks dubious*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... but what if he startes to remember his old life? Grandmother would have a fit."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Here has what has happened. I will start slowly
<DeathStar> *Erevis brings up Kumen* Kumen has used it's barrier to close itself off from the rest of the universe and stated that it is doing this to protect itself from outside forces until it can regroup and fix itself then reopen it's borders. Ymir stated these words to everyone, but the man behind her was Maxwell Terran - her father
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A man who was dead. At the same time, I am hearing reports of an attack on Geyze's Peacekeepers from an ancient Croza who should no longer exist.
<Dias`> <Dias> And you want me to punch the barrier apart.
<DeathStar> *Erevis holds up her hand* <Erevis> There is more
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A strange god being calling itself Atheos has manifested on Earth near the ruins of Mega City, promising those who survived it can bring about a revival of sorts. *John stiffens*
<Dias`> *Durt looks over at Lorelei*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei drums her fingers*
<Dias`> <Durt> Name sound familiar?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Atheos? As in the root word of Atheist?"
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... are you kidding me?"
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "... I haven't drunk enough for this..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well, for an atheist, it is selling something
<DeathStar> *Lorelei muses* I'd have to look into my files.
<Dias`> <ChadComm> You've listed three things so far. Anything else?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Next Jaime, or something like her, has been rumored to have reappeard.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Jaime...?"
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "Did she vanish?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga lays out a file of Jaime, in another reality, but definitely the one Adeline and Jaime fought, due to her wielding Dias like powers* <Taiga> She seems to be preparing something
<Alicia> <Jikuu> "... why."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We only picked up on this this morning. A signal of sorts along with this other stuff
<Dias`> <ChadComm> I doubt it's a coincidence that this happened so quickly after we defeated the serpent.
<Dias`> *Dias perks up a bit at the mention of someone having his powers* Man, so many new things to get to punch. *He muses a bit* I wonder if they can take more than one punch.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The next one we detected as again on Earth, near Tokyo. Cran has been working with Kane to help get people to safety before the end and setting up places for them to live when they were moving over to Asia
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well, Cran was attacked this morning - by a younger version of himself
<Dias`> <ChadComm> And his condition?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm? Now that is interesting... clone, dimensional coutnerpart, or time travel?"
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I'd guess dimensional counterpart."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Stable. It looks like he blew up his entire house to stall out the other him and give himself a chance. It looks like the younge version was not quite prepared for some things thrown at him
<Dias`> <ChadComm> Statistically, unlikely. More likely a clone.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Lastly, there is another. This one appeared on the moon, but only briefly.
<DeathStar> *Erevis brings up the image of a platnium blonde figure*
<DeathStar> <John> Who's the blonde? I can't make out their face
<Dias`> <ChadComm> So six issues have arised immediately after.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes - I believe there is a seventh but they have avoided detection.
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I feel like... yeah, I'm fairly sure I've seen her before."
<Dias`> <ChadComm> What makes you believe that?
<DeathStar> <Fate> Because I believe these are enemies of your past. "it" has chosen them based on the power of the tree the Serpent took and is siccing them on you again. To try to wear you down. Or as close to being enemies of your past.
<DeathStar> <Fate> Seven deadly sin themed, a curse of sorts.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I can hear mother's frustrated yells, even from here."
<Dias`> <ChadComm> ....It's a sound theory. Considering how quickly this was enacted after the defeat of the serpent. It would make sense that "it" would have had something in motion incase we got this far.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...oh...joy. An enemy that is using metaphors agaisnt us."
<Dias`> <ChadComm> ...Almost makes you think they were the reason the snake was woken up in the first place.
<Dias`> <Dias> Well...the way I see it, I can punch all of them.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The problem is 1 "sin" or enemy has locked down Kumen. This other has Geyze tied up. And we have 5 possible others running around. We can try to Wolverine Dias to all of them
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But if they all begin to act up at once, we will be in trouble
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Dias isn't the only one who can deal with them, at least."
<Dias`> <Dias> I could do that but that'll be exhausting. And it'll burn up what I've been saving up.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...how annoying."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I think we should take the moment to rest and think, then try to decide groups. We have enough people throughout the years to handle this
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Surely they will not act in one day
<Dias`> <ChadComm> Depends on how coordinated they are. If they're all driven by their own ego, than we won't have to worry about that.
<Dias`> <ChadComm> If they're working together....that'll be another story.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... there is already a group based on Kumen along with the PEacekeepers on Geyze. Is there anything we cna do to assist them materially?"
<DeathStar> *Zephyr comes on the comm with Chad, whispering to him*
<DeathStar> *John keeps eyeng the platnium blonde, musing* Hmm... I never mess up a chance to know a pretty face
<Dias`> *Chad disconnects for a moment as he talks to someone*
<DeathStar> <John> *He fiddles with the camera angle*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Well. Something just happened
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And I suppose the blonde is supposed to be 'lust'."
<Dias`> <Durt> Hmmm?
<Alicia> <Celeste> "I'd say Wrath or Sloth."
<Dias`> *Dias pops up off the conference table and looks at Fate* Just so you know, you got nothing to worry about.
<DeathStar> <Fate> I am trusting you. You'l need your full power for after this
<DeathStar> *John rises* Okay. Here's everyone's orders
<DeathStar> <John> We are exhausted, and we should rest - however we see fit
<DeathStar> <John> Cause tomorrow, we're kicking ass
<Dias`> *Dias gives her his trademark smile* I haven't found something I haven't been able to punch past.
<DeathStar> *John grabs Hotaru's ass*
<Alicia> <Hotaru> "Y-yeah, we'll do fine."
<DeathStar> *Fate nods* I am counting on that willpower. *Adeline meanwhile seem concerned and leaves the meeting*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Luna - Police Station
<DeathStar> *Zayne eyes the officers, having been acting strange the past few hours, refusing to leave; Blue meanwhile seems to be eyeing threats to release the Governor*
<DeathStar> <Blue> Looks like he's got some loyalists
<Dias`> *XIV, crosses her arms looking around* It's to be expected.
<DeathStar> <Zayne> *turns to Sunny, studying her*
<DeathStar> <Zayne> Daughter - I want you to know I love you. *She says, even though it's flat, she seems to mean it*
<DeathStar> *Blue moves ove to XIV* Well, I think Christina can handle things from here. We should probably head back
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> Yes mom... I love you too...
<Dias`> <XIV> Do you plan on leaving some of your force behind to assist just incase?
<DeathStar> <Blue< Yeah I'll make sure to do that. *At that moment, for a brief moment, Sunny would feel dizziness, but not as bad as before, due to something nearby. As if something like her, of her, was making her feel vertigo off in the distance. Zayne suddenly strolls out the front door, leaving the younger Sunny with Christina, XIV, and Blue*
<DeathStar> <Blue> .. What was that all about?
<Sara> <Sunny Jr> H-Huh...? *she holds her head for a few seconds*
<Dias`> <XIV> It's not like she hasn't ran off before to do her own thing.
<DeathStar> *Blue taps her comms*
<DeathStar> <Blue> Ah. I'm just getting this in. We might have an enemy - a sin - on Luna. One moment, Posting the image.
<DeathStar> *she brings up the image of the platnium blonde haired woman - from the back, it looks a lot like Sunny Jr. but much older*
<Dias`> <XIV> ...We'll have to run it through Earthgov and PAX's database. See if it comes up as anyone familiar.
<DeathStar> *Blue sees if she can get a hit even without a facial ID, then after a bit on EarthGov, she does - Sunny Sr.*
<DeathStar> <Blue> But how is that possible?
<DeathStar> *She looks at Jr*
<Dias`> <XIV> ....It's not like the dead haven't come back before.
<DeathStar> <Blue> Fair.
<Dias`> <XIV> Could be a clone though. *She rubs her face* I wonder if that explains Zayne's actions
<DeathStar> <Blue> *keeps her voice lower, but Sunny might still hear her* Or she ran off to be with her
<Sara> * Sunny Jr. looks confused
<Sara> * Saying nothing
<Dias`> <XIV> Seems we might not be leaving Luna anytime soon.
<DeathStar> <Blue> Shit
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Zephyr's Apartment
<DeathStar> *Adeline has snuck in after hacking some stuff*
<DeathStar> *moving around and eyeing the information on Angela's kidnapping, she inputs the likeliness of the 7th Sin* Dammit. It's him
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It's Spade.
<DeathStar> -TBC-
