<DeathStar> *After having been dealt with the return of Legion - again - despite being split in 4, with 3 parts managing to work it's way back and chase the team around, Xanatos returns to join Megumi after they seemingly lost the damaged Legion; however, the rest of the team is now in another reality without them*
<DeathStar> *Megumi quietly looks over Taiga's notes, seeing if she can locate where the others went despite not having used the gate* One moment
* XanTop_ has joined #TAW-Session669
* XanTop has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 190 seconds)
* XanTop_ is now known as XanTop
<XanTop> <Xan> I really thought this legion business wasn't ever going to bug us again. Guess it's not the same exactly, but still.
<DeathStar> *Megumi rises up* Well, Jaime has always been a little fascinated by it
<Alicia> * Yoiyami listens quietly, munching on a ricecake
<XanTop> <Xan> Speaking of, no luck finding them?
<DeathStar> *Megumi studies the reality, then marks a new number down* I have found it. One we must have missed. It is likely this Jaime's
<DeathStar> *she picks up a giant weapon of sorts and stuffs into a subspace backpack, then turns to Yoiyami, then lifts her up and puts her partially in the backpack, before putting the backpack on, struggling to put it on due to the weight*
<XanTop> <Xan> You sure that set up is the right call?
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Why not? Not enough food?"
<XanTop> <Xan> Weight seems a little off...but if you're ready we can go.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> It's just heavy due to the black matter weapon inside. If splitting it into four didn't stop it, we need something more.
<DeathStar> *Megumi programs the destination and opens the gate*
<XanTop> <Xan> ...more than...oh this is going to be a day.
<XanTop> 6* Xan checks his pistol and moves for the gate, pausing to make sure Megumi doesn't need help.
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Don't worry, I'm here!"
<DeathStar> *Megumi peers at the kid*
<DeathStar> <Megumi> First thing is to try to find the others. *she hands Xanatos a tracker* We're stepping into enemy territory. So becareful.
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "I can fire the gun!"
<XanTop> 6* Xan nods, looking the tracker over.
<Alicia> * Oh no.
<DeathStar> *it looks like pac-man game but the pac-man figure eats things as they get closer to the team*
<DeathStar> *Megumi steps through*
<XanTop> 6* Xan blinks at that and follows.
* Dias` has joined #TAW-Session669
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-654.8.4
<DeathStar> Location: J2's PAX
<DeathStar> *The shuttle has parked among many others after they managed to get aboard via reality powers. Taiga eyeing reports of Legion following them into this reality*
<DeathStar> *Jikuu X, the biotect that other Jaime programmed to trick the team, hangs beside Victoire, while Ren muses quietly beside Charlotte*
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses** That thing doesn't wanna stop huh?
<Alicia> <Victoire> "That thing?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... our reality wielders need to step up and outright erase that thing from existence."
<DeathStar> *Ren glances at Kaori having gone to sleep in the back*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "...Legion, right?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... yeah
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "You're not suspecting... well, sleeper agents don't seem like Jaime's thing."
<DeathStar> *Line leans back, having taken over as the Adeline of the group* You sure?
<DeathStar> *She peers at the false Jikuu*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan peers about, tails around Shizuki**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... maybe she does have an Adeline."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm, she did try to kidnap mine first time we encountered her.
<DeathStar> <Ren> So what's the plan? Once we leave the shuttle we're going to get noticed pretty fast.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Should we split up into groups?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well, we could hope the other Jikuu isn't a fan of giving my other self power and try to work directly with her.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Or we get sneaky.
<DeathStar> *Jikuu X looks confused*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I'm pretty sure she wouldn't."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Intentionally." <Victoire> "Hey!"
<DeathStar> <Ren> *leans over to Noire while Erevis leans out to touch the floor of the hanger*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "mmmmm?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> With the size of our group, we should break up into smaller ones. You want to come with me and Char?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I'm with you."
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers curiously at her mother** Come to think of it, if we do need to sneak around, I know quite a few nooks and crannies that no one else does thanks to Adeline.
<DeathStar> <Line> Interesting. I'll remain here and see if I can get access to anything
<Dias`> <Id> If you know of them, the odds are this Jaime knows of them also.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hrm... depends on how long ago she lost her Adeline.
<DeathStar> *Ren carefully steps out the left side while Taiga steps out the right side*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves moves out with Ren on the left*
<Dias`> *Id floats with Taiga*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'll see if I can check out the engineering and other areas.
<Seraphna> **Si follows Taiga**
<Seraphna> **Kaelan peers around, shifting to go with Noire, taking Shizu in her tails**
<DeathStar> *Erevis pulls a Wind and vanishes during all the talk*
<Alicia> * Charlotte, of course, goes with Ren and Noire
<DeathStar> <Jikuu X> Where do you want to go, Victoire?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I really need to put a bell on Mom or something.
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, shrinks to 16 and puts on a hoodie, pulling up the hood and hopping after the others**
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I don't know. I'd go with Taiga, but I don't want to leave Kaori alone."
<DeathStar> <Line> I'll keep an eye on her
<DeathStar> *waves a device*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Not sure what I should do so I'll just play things low key and let Line be my brains.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Alright, I'll go with Taiga then."
<DeathStar> *As the two groups head their own way, the camera focusing on the Jaime group first*
<DeathStar> *They find the hanger is surprisingly heavily patrolled*
<DeathStar> *the exits having guards that check IDs*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well that's annoying
<Seraphna> Kaelan> This could be complicated.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Fake ID time."
<DeathStar> *Erevis seems to have already gotten past them somehow, moving on down the hall*
<Seraphna> Jaime> <How'd you do that Momma?>
<DeathStar> <Ren> I doubt any of us outside Jaime would be in the system.
<Seraphna> Jaime> And I'd probably be noticed with my actual ID.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... how similar is this PAX to ours?"
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks, then focuses and tries something, seeing if she can psionically disguise the group as not being there**
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... What are you doing?
<DeathStar> *She turns to eye Jaime*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Trying what Mom did...?
<DeathStar> <Ren> So do we just..walk by?
<DeathStar> *She eyes the cameras*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Move when the Camera isn't facing us. I think. **She does her best to bolster the ability**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Should have copied a Dragoon already...
<Alicia> * Charlotte does, in fact, walk by, avoiding the camera focus at least
<Seraphna> **Jaime starts moving when she sees the Camera clear for them**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves past when the camera is pointed away*
<DeathStar> *As they walk past the group, they head down the hallway toward the elevator when they run into the cleaning crew, two people, one tall and one very short with a backpack*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan follows suit with Shizuki**
<DeathStar> <Short Crew Member> ... what sort of sneaking is this suppose to be?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Why didn't I think of uniforms.
<DeathStar> *she asks as she mops the floor*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...because they never fit."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah. **she pauses by the short one and fixes her hat**
<Seraphna> Jaime> The ears, Momma.
<XanTop> <Tall Crew> ...
<Seraphna> **Jaime might seem a bit strange to Xan at the moment, since she appears at least half a decade younger**
<DeathStar> <Megumi> *looks up*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Why is our kid in a backpack?
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Because I don't want to walk."
<Seraphna> **Jaime adds them to the field of "Nope, no one interesting here" she's projecting**
<XanTop> <Xan> What happened to you? De-aging machine?
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Anyway, looks like I guessed your destination correctly
<DeathStar> *Megumi puts the mop up*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Momma Erevis went ahead of us. She's probably better hidden. Mm? Oh no I can shift my age when I please.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I'm in-cog-neato.
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "What a useless ability."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Shhhh. You are only suppose to think it, not say it
<Seraphna> Jaime> I dunno, Momma Erevis gives me twice the desert when I look littler.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hah!"
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Okay, now I want it."
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods wisely to Yoi**
<DeathStar> <Ren> Alright, so what's the plan now that we're all together
<XanTop> <Xan> Catch up with Erevis?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I got nothing else to be honest.
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes the elevator down the hallway*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Alright, find Erevis. You think she's going directly after the other Jaime? So 1B? 1A?
<DeathStar> <Megumi> I would not count on that
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well, unless I was definitely taking command I'd go to 1B. I don't really spend time on 1A unless there's a meeting.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then where?"
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Just like at home, a plebian can not directly go there without being one of us
<DeathStar> <Megumi> I imagine we cannot activate the elevator there either. We will need to go the long way
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well we don't know if this universe has an Erevis. She did touch the ship to search for something.
<Seraphna> Jaime> The back stairs?
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Yes.
<XanTop> <Xan> ...the tubes?
<DeathStar> *to both*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm... I recall you cna use the ventilation to get almost anywhere."
<XanTop> <Xan> I mean stairs. Obviously there's no secret PAX tubes.
<XanTop> 6* Xan coughs
<DeathStar> <Megumi> The stairs could work but Xanatos is also right
<DeathStar> <Megumi> There are the sub-ways
<Seraphna> Jaime> O-Obviously no tubes no. **she muses** THere is a stair access that goes from the promenade directly to the command tower.
<Seraphna> Jaime> We used to use it to visit Katrina's a lot.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'll remember that one."
<DeathStar> <Ren> So which is faster? The stairs or the tube things?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Tram to the promenade, then the stairs.
<XanTop> <Xan> Sounds like a plan.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Of course, the other Jaime probably knows this route already."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Probably, but I bet she hasn't used it in decades. I haven't since coming home like 20 years ago.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Maybe it'll have slipped her mind..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> And it feels like our histories were similar right up until the reality clashing and Shin awakening.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That isn't troubling at all."
<XanTop> <Xan> Only one way to find out.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Tragedy changes people... I'd probably have broken too if I lost Adeline and Gnome for good, and I came damn close.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...and look at where its gotten this other Jaime. I hope you are made of sterner stuff."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Noire is absolutely correct here."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I hope I never have to be, to be honest. I wouldn't wish her fate on anyone.
<Seraphna> **Jaime side eyes Char** We've both seen what such a change to one's past can do, haven't we?
<DeathStar> *As they move, Ren keeps an eye out, Megumi feding the backpack*
<DeathStar> *as they reach the tram area, they find more guards and people boarding it, being scanned as they do*
<DeathStar> *Erevis can be seen musing from a distance*
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, moving towards Erevis while thinking of a plan**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...do we have this much security on our PAX?"
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "No, but we don't need this much normally either."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Definitely not this overtly. Leyaeh likes to use Vapaad telepaths discretely most of the time.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I do spot checks
<DeathStar> *Erevis glances as they join* Hello, Xanatos Durran
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So...think security was stepped up because she is expecting us?"
<DeathStar> *she pats Megumi*
<XanTop> <Xan> What's up, hot stuff?
<XanTop> <Xan> You ride trams often?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Yes, but also because she needs it."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I actually think it's because the current person in charge is expecting Jaime. Anyway... perhaps we can make them forget to scan us?
<DeathStar> *Erevis blinks, then looks bemused* You use that line often to pick up women at the tram station?
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes the two* Old people
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...the goofiness is actually kinda charming."
<XanTop> <Xan> It's my classic tram gambit.
<Seraphna> Jaime> They're always like this. **she stretches** It's where I get my charm from.
<DeathStar> *Megumi hangs off Erevis*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmmm...might we proceed with a plan?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Their minds are stronger
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Or I would have tried it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And I dare not hyperspace warp
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hmm. Not sure Dark Jumping is gonna be a good idea either.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I guess we have to use old fashioned methods."
<XanTop> <Xan> What're those scans looking for, I wonder
<DeathStar> <Ren> Lets see if Line can tell us or mother. One moment
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Other Team
<DeathStar> *Taiga eyes security being tight around the elevator to engineering*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm not surprised
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets try the stairs
<Dias`> <Id> This may prove more difficult.
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuu, there's stairs?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> A lot
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Why is that the surprising part?"
<Seraphna> Si> I dunno, all the teleporters all over.
<Dias`> <Id> This place would be rather unsafe if it was teleporters only.
<Seraphna> Si> I grew up on Earth. Under Taiga's bed.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "How would you repair the teleporters?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> No no. *She leads them to the teleporters that work only in the PAX itself* Try the engineering sector keypad code
<DeathStar> <Taiga> See what happens
<Dias`> <Id> That sounds incredibly creepy.
<Seraphna> Si> You're a faceless talking orb named after a man's supervillain alter ego.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> A-hem, Si
<DeathStar> *Taiga motions*
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and tries it**
<DeathStar> *it makes a request for her ID to be slid in the keypad*
<Seraphna> Si> Should I... try mine?
<Dias`> <Id> ...Hmmm. Depending on if Winters worked here, he may have left a code buried deep within PAX's system.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "I've always wondered... why are you named after his alter ego?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> What do you think would happen
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It MAY work. Or it may sound alarms
<Seraphna> Si> Something that doesn't involve a situation I can punch?
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks at Id* True, that is a possibility
<Seraphna> Si> So we swipe Id?
<Dias`> <Id> Hard to say, Victoire. I suppose one of lifes many mysteries. *Id turns to face Taiga* Would you like me to attempt to see if the code is still there and active?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It can't hurt
<Seraphna> Si> I could try going Gor-Mode, but you know I get useless after that.
<Dias`> <Id> Let us hope he didn't find a need to use it before this point. *Id floats over to it and hooks up to it and begins searching for the back door code Chad may have left*
<Alicia> <Victoire> "What does that even mean?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga holds a hand up to Si; getting a 1 out of 10 odds, Id finds such a code*
<Seraphna> **Si pauses in starting to explain her technopathy**
<Dias`> <Id> It would appear it's here. I will activate it and it will give me access to the systems allowing us to essentially become blind to the security systems.
<DeathStar> <Line on comms> The other team is asking if you have come across what they're scanning for while you're at it
<Dias`> <Id> You will have to try not to draw suspicion from physical people though.
<Dias`> <IdComm> I will work on searching for it.
<Alicia> <Victoire> "We haven't found anything yet." *looks over at Jikuu X, if she's around*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Understood.
<DeathStar> *Jikuu X is eyeing the guards as if to knock them out, but hears they can sneak by*
<Dias`> <Id> Let us move with haste. The longer I'm using this back door, the easier it will be found.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright lets go straight to engineering and set up some things in engineering. I imagine once they confront the other Jaime, things will go to hell and we'll need a quick escape and we don't want the PAX following us
<Seraphna> **Si fuus and nods**
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: First Team
<DeathStar> <Line on comms> It looks like they're scanning for legit IDs and looking for reality signatures on the side
<Alicia> * Charlotte keeps a low profile. Yoiyami keeps the lowest profile.
<DeathStar> <Ren> So. How do we want to handle this?
<DeathStar> <Line on comms> I could make a false alarm and try to give you legit IDs.
<DeathStar> <Line on comms> But for the reality scans..
<XanTop> <Xan> No way to fake the reality signature, right?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...we would be easily made, even if we had IDs."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah… Line how did you mask those?
<DeathStar> <Line on comms> Hm. Give me a moment. That took a lot of planning. And you don't have either Victoire or Kaori with you
<Seraphna> Jaime> We really need to keep them in the pack next time.
<DeathStar> *She can be heard talking to Victoire*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I might can do it as well
<DeathStar> <Ren> If all else fails
<DeathStar> *Ren leans up to whisper to Jaime*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... KAori wasn't really in the shape to be sneakign around."
<Seraphna> **Jaime nods**
<DeathStar> <Line on comms> Alright. Everyone group up with that next group getting on the tram
<Seraphna> **Jaime and Kaelan move to do so**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves into the group*
<DeathStar> *Erevis does so, with Ren using her minute reality powers to try to erase their notice from reality*
<XanTop> 6* Xan moves to do so as well.
<Alicia> * Victoire assists from afar
<DeathStar> *The people are IDed, checking them one by one, passing over Megumi, either because she is short or not noticing, then Xanatos, then a few others*
<DeathStar> *until they seem to stare right at Noire*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
<DeathStar> *He looks down at his device, as if trying to identify her race*
<DeathStar> *Then back at her chest*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "... ... ..."
<DeathStar> <Man> I...d?
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks annoyed but says nothing in case it draws attention to her
<Seraphna> **Kaelan frowns a bit, then remembering Noire is technically unique**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...?" *makes a show of looking through her belongings*
<DeathStar> <Line on comm> HAnd him anything.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *hands over a card*
<DeathStar> *the man looks at the card blankly, then looks at her, then moves her on*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm..." *slides the card away*
<DeathStar> *The Tram is soon packed*
<DeathStar> *And zooming at high, nauseous inducing speeds through the PAX*
<XanTop> <Xan> Trams are fun, I should ride them more.
<DeathStar> *After a few minutes, they arrive near the bridge tower, with the people getting off and most heading somewhere off, likely doing maintence work*
<DeathStar> *stairs head up toward 1C, an area most of them never go*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I used to ride this all the time as a kid. Something about the speed.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... is this our stop?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well we're here. After 1C is 1B, the living quarters
<Alicia> * Yoiyami nods, trying to stay hidden though
<DeathStar> *Erevis walks up the stairs to 1C, then hurries back down*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Bad news
<Seraphna> Jaime> Aunt Ao tends to make 1C her domain. Mmm?
<XanTop> <Xan> Armed guard?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The other Jaime has transformed her 1C into a guard outpost.
<XanTop> <Xan> Of course.
<DeathStar> <Ren> *curses*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "..mmmm... it is never that easy, is it?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> That seems rude.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Quite. You'd almost think we were unwelcome."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see no way around fighting this time
<XanTop> <Xan> I agree.
<Seraphna> Jaime> How did Ako and Iko usually get past it?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'd love to just sneak in, but when it's occupied..."
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes Jaime* Get past what?
<Seraphna> Jaime> 1C in general.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Is that something they..did?
<Seraphna> Jaime> They used to sneak out all the time from 1B.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "They really needed to sneak out?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> How else could they go on Mom’s missions without permission?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "If Ao claimed 1C as her domain, then I doubt she was an especially vigilant guard."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Plus the area is no longer the same design
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Come see for yourself
<DeathStar> *She leads the team into 1C, where it is now a literal army fortress, with the stairs up to 1B behind them*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hmmm. If only there was a guard we could charm or something.
<DeathStar> *Shizuki appears, arms crossed*
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> Go on, mother, charm the entire army
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Oh my dear. Think I can?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...what about the airlocks?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There are none up here sadly
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If there were, they'd be guarded."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> You think we could sneak past the fort?
<DeathStar> *she studies it, then the stairs*
<XanTop> <Xan> I'm ready to go blasting.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Well a foxhole would alert them.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> As am I. They could come up behind us
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And we would be in trouble
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Open ground between us and the guardpost."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Kaelan... could you slip from shadow to shadow?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> I… could try something? But I’ve never really tried a whole area at once before.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Easily. **puts a toe in**
<DeathStar> *Kaelan's power seems to work*
<DeathStar> *suddenly, Kaelan has a strange hyperspace spear in her*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It’s not blocked it seems. Ack!
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> !
<Jackieness> <Noire> "My thought is that Kaelan slips across and then literally shadows the guards, doing recon and looking for an opportunity to give us an opening...mmmm?"
<DeathStar> *more spears begin to be thrown in her*
<DeathStar> *as guards appear*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan shadow poofs back a few steps and stumbles** Well fuck you too.
<XanTop> 6* Xan charges his gun
<XanTop> <Xan> Get ready.
<DeathStar> *Shizuki unleashes a moonlight attack at them
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So much for subtlety."
<Seraphna> **Jaime grumbles and glows green before slapping the door in with a mud barrier she hardens into slate**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Fight scene it is.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Well, we tried it, at least."
<DeathStar> *Erevis unleashes a hyperspace attack at the guards, but they surprisingly take it*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... what in the world?
<XanTop> 6* Xan fires a charged shot fo rone.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan pulls out Truth and starts healing** Jaime’s enhanced them.
<DeathStar> *Xan's shot stumbles one as Ren leans and grabs one, judo slamming it*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "They clearly wield hyperspace energy of their own." *raises a finger, a small dark energy sphere forming on her fingertip*
<DeathStar> *The guards begin to spread out, throwing hyperspace out to burn people ot a crisp, not holding back*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Imbuement… makes sense… **she seems thoughtful before reaching out and trying to steal hyperspace**
<DeathStar> *Ren yelps, her tail burnt*
<Alicia> * Charlotte rushes to retrieve Ren, not really certain on a good way to deal with all this past that
<Jackieness> <Noire> *points and then lets the dark energy spher fly at one of the guards' heads like a guided bullet*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan
<DeathStar> *Noire drops one while Jaime does that*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sends out a wave of holy and dark energy**
<XanTop> 6* Xan dives to avoid a blast, rolling to his side to shoot a laser eye shot for one.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh shit. Why didn’t I think of this earlier… tastes a bit like pineapple.
<DeathStar> *Xan drops another one and blows up structures on another. A few remaining guards get together and target Charlotte and Ren as they get together*
<DeathStar> *preparing to fire a giant beam at them*
<Alicia> * Charlotte shadowjumps away with Ren
<DeathStar> *Megumi sets her backpack down*
<Seraphna> **Jaime glows with spirit and tries a mega drain**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...its more similar to my own move, Jaime... though do keep going." *bends her finger to send her sphere flying in a line to try to snipe one or more guards in a line*
<DeathStar> *And sets up some grenades*
<DeathStar> *The two remaining guards slowly approach Jaime and aim at her, firing*
<DeathStar> *Their beam trying to knock her back*
<Seraphna> **Jaime warps to get behind them, or tries to**
<DeathStar> *Megumi gives Xanatos a grenade and tries to hand off the blackhole railgun type weapon, but she falls over from the weight*
<DeathStar> *they turn around toward Jaime, both quickfiring as best they can*
<DeathStar> *Ren watches the fight with Charlotte, grring*
<XanTop> 6* Xan looks at the grenade and then moves to lift the railgun up, jerking and then pausing to hold his back.
<XanTop> <Xan> What the hell, this is so heavy
<Seraphna> **Jaime speedily attempts grabbing one and stealing their hyperspace Empress style**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Too much hyperspace..."
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Oh that's designed to be so strong it can destroy a PAX. USe it with care at the right time. The grenades are mini blackhles
<DeathStar> *the trigger looks like it will be a pain to pull*
<Alicia> * Yoiyami looks from the security system she's messing with to the gun. <Charlotte> "No. No destroying the PAX."
<DeathStar> *The guard yells as he's drained and the other fires at her head point blank*
<Seraphna> **Jaime glows as she shifts the guards head in the way and then tries to grab the other one**
<DeathStar> *they're both grabbed*
<Seraphna> **Jaime does the second drain** She govern, I take away.
<Seraphna> *giveth
<DeathStar> *As Jaime finishes draining, she suddenly would feel like her body is on fire*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We need to be quick now."
<DeathStar> *her hyperspace form burning out of control*
<Seraphna> **Jaime shivers and steps back, then starts forming a Hyoerspace Orb**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...huh... so progenitors can burn from hyperspace too..."
<DeathStar> *The hyperspace orb burns rapidly and strangely*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Jaime. *She warns*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah I’m way over my capacity… where should I direct if Mom?
<XanTop> <Xan> ....
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is not what happened.
<Seraphna> Jaime> What is it?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Is the hyperspace itself corrupt?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I... *She eyes her form* ... Even I am not sure. But your body... your true body... it is wrong now
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is like energy burning too fast
<Seraphna> **She shakes** What… do I do?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...we do need to proceed, also fast. That little party likely alerted everyone on the PAX who has reason to try to kill us."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Try to shut it off. OR you might burn yourrself to death.
<Seraphna> **She nods and closes her eyes, trying to shut her power off for now**
<XanTop> 6* Xan slowly puts the railgun back down, watching Erevis and Jaime.
<XanTop> <Xan> You can do this kiddo.
<DeathStar> *Erevis paces as she keeps burning with some hot hyperspace that even Erevis is afraid to approach; soon though Jaime powers down, her skin looking red and crackling, like a halfling learning to use hyperspace for the first time*
<Seraphna> Jaime> This hyperspace… it’s intense.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan moves over do Truth can heal her burns**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You keep using that and you will burn yourself to death
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is as if you injected yourself with something
<Seraphna> Jaime> We’ll work on filtering it out of me into a battery or something later.
<DeathStar> *She turns ot look at the stairs* And Noire is right, she has heard this now
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It's a good thing I never did anything like that." *lies*
<Seraphna> Jaime> She did something to the hyperspace she gave these guards.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Come on..." *heads for the guard post, and the stairs beyind them*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... everyone ready?
<DeathStar> *She heads for the stairs*
<DeathStar> *Megumi picks up the backpack and follows, patting Jaime on the way*
<XanTop> 6* Xan hefts the railgun back up and moves for the stairs.
<Seraphna> **Jaime flexes a little after Truth finishes, a layer of skin flaking off
<DeathStar> *Shizuki follows along*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Other Team
<DeathStar> *Taiga finishes with tinkering with the engines, eyeing their handiwork* Alright, we should head for the shuttle. When we send the command, the engines should act up and the PAX will not follow us back to Earth and the gate
<DeathStar> *Taiga's datapad beeps and she grabs it, glancing at it*
<Dias`> <Id> I left a little something behind just incase to help reinforce things, Taiga.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... Bad news. We might have to scrap the escape back to Earth and escape to the Geyze planet that this Jaime is making
<Alicia> <Victoire> "What has she done now?"
<Seraphna> **Si has contributed by adding graffiti**
<Dias`> <Id> Explain, please
<DeathStar> *Taiga shows the alarms they've been hearing - on the hanger, Legion has been wrecking the place*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That might explain why Line has gone silent
<Seraphna> Si> I hope they’re okay…
<DeathStar> *The damaged creature smashes and flips shuttles as it seems to be headed for the tram system*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We might need to re-calculate and aim to see if we can nudge the PAX toward the Geyze world
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And see if we can blow it up for good
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuu?
<Dias`> <Id> So a change in plans.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> An explosion the size of the PAX hitting that planet would have to destroy it
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Right, so instead of taking the engines out we'll redirect it
<Seraphna> Si> With all these people on it?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *muses* We'll set an alarm off first
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Right. We can at least set up an evacuation."
<DeathStar> <Jikuu X> I'll help with that
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Primary Team
<DeathStar> *as they step into 1B, it's been turned into a massive ritual area, with reality power flowing from the Angel. Symbols are written all over the floor and blood flows along it in strange patterns and what looks to be bodies for Gnome and Adeline in the circles*
<DeathStar> *Jaime II is there in the center, directing the power and using the PAX's systems to try to bring the two back when the group arrives*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...I'm a Dark One... and even I am aghast." *looks around* "Mmmmm... though given who she mad eher deal with... I am expecting a Monkey's Paw situation."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... this is crazy..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> So you were trying to bring them back…
<DeathStar> *Ren makes a face at the smell of the blood while Erevis makes no comment*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "They'll probably come back evil or hating her. That's how these exchanges usually work."
<DeathStar> <Jaime II> And you wouldn't? *She seems to e waiting for something*
<DeathStar> <Jaime II> None of you would do what I've done today?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Nah I’d try just as hard as you. But… whose blood is this? What did you do?
<DeathStar> *Megumi sets the backpack down and prepares something*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> This kind of magic always has a hard price.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... would I? I don't know... I've never been in love."
<XanTop> <Xan> I've done some rough stuff so I can't judge too much...but still.
<DeathStar> <J2> *shows her bloodied hand when Adeline's body twitches, then Gnome's*
<DeathStar> <J2> Pity for you, Dark One.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "And... no, I wouldn't do this. I don't trust that bitch to not screw me over."
<DeathStar> *she kneels by Adeline, helping her stand up, then does the same with Gnome; the two seem out of it*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I get it. The craving to see them again. I just hope you know what you’re doing.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...if love does this..." *waves a hand dismissively* "Then you should envy me, not pity me."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> *mumbling* "I already do."
<DeathStar> <J2> So. We've had our game. I suppose it's led to this. *she moves the two out of sight up 1A while they recover, then moves back down to face them*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Are they alright?
<XanTop> 6* Xan glances at Erevis and Megumi, seemingly following their lead.
<DeathStar> *Erevis and Megumi are waiting to see how it plays out with the others right now*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Are they... actually Gnome and Adeline? That's really the important part..."
<DeathStar> <J2> I'll find out after I've dealt with you all. You've come this far to end this, haven't you?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Was this all you wanted? Now that you have it are you done?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So, it hasn't ended already."
<DeathStar> <J2> I have what I want.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Then what conflict do we have?
<DeathStar> *Ren seems to be thoughtful*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Let the Angel go and we can end this and you can go to them.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Return the Angel’s power, at any rate.
<DeathStar> *she eyes them* Who would I relinquish it to? You?
<DeathStar> *as they talk, there's faint shaking*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> I’d say Shizuki or Kaelan. They can carry it back and we can leave this behind.. us? What is that?
<XanTop> 6* Xan glances around at the shaking.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Something tells me that Legion guy isn't happy about all this."
<DeathStar> *The other Jaime moves to the controls, checking something when Legion busts through the floor*
<DeathStar> *reaching out for Jaime*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yipes! **she leaps away and forms the element blade**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Again?!"
<DeathStar> *by now alarms are wailing on the bridge and J2 reaches to try to grab controls but finds herself locked out as the PAX seems to be tilting toward the planet* ....
<Seraphna> Jaime> Why is if even after me!?
<DeathStar> <J2> ... Why am I locked out!? ... *She hurries up to grab the two girls*
<DeathStar> *Legion stomps toward Jaime and the others, swiping at Noire*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *uses her tendrils to yank herself away from Legion's attack*
<DeathStar> *an evacuation order has been given*
<Alicia> * Yoiyami looks innocent, though she didn't actually do it in the first place
<DeathStar> <J2> ... *Eyes the team, then runs off to the back*
<Seraphna> **Jaime forms a rock and launches it at Legion**
<DeathStar> *Legion snarls and leaps and tries to jump and crush Jaime*
<DeathStar> *Erevis fires hyperspace at Legion, burning a hole in it that it instantly heals*
<Seraphna> **Jaime mud slides away**
<XanTop> 6* Xan eye lasers at Legion.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think we might need to run soon
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "That's what the evac orders say, even if they're not for us!"
<DeathStar> *Legion turns and eyes Xan, grabbing a ritual piece and hurling it while Megumi tosses a grenade at it*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan forms a foxhole field in the middle of Legion**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises two hands and tries forming two shadow portals that she then flings at Legion like throwing discs*
<DeathStar> *The grenade lands inside it due to the foxhole*
<DeathStar> *Noire's attacks also slice into it as a blackhole opens up*
<DeathStar> *making Legion fall over*
<DeathStar> *what's left of it*
<DeathStar> <Ren> We win?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Time to run?
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "We didn't even use the black hole gun."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...do you have a better time?!"
<DeathStar> *something begins to break open a barrier*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yo other me if you’re up there get them to safety!
<DeathStar> *a fist*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is trying to come back
<XanTop> 6* Xan frowns.
<XanTop> <Xan> Should uh...we use the weapon?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sends foxfire into the fist**
<DeathStar> *eldrich energy sludging all over*
<Alicia> <Yoiyami> "Yeah!"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Didn't Megumi say that would take out the entire PAX?!"
<DeathStar> <Megumi> *Adjusts glasses* Yes
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So will it!
<DeathStar> *The foxfire slows it down*
<DeathStar> *Taiga on comms*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I've found a shuttle to escape with
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Its after us! If we go, it won't stay!"
<XanTop> <Xan> How do I launch legion out into space and shoot him from here.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Foxholes? Airlocks?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. All of you escape. I will work with XAnatos on how to dispatch this portion of the ship
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is a tower of sorts and can be seperated in an emergency
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Alright. Everyone else, with me!" *heads for the stairs down*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Fuuuck. Be careful Mom, Dad!
<DeathStar> *Erevis motions with Xanatos to head with her down to 1C*
<Alicia> * Charlotte heads down with, Yoiyami taking a moment to say "Bye bye!" before following
<Seraphna> **Jaime heads with them, Kaelan taking Shizu**
<DeathStar> *Ren hurries along*
<XanTop> 6* Xan moves after Erevis
<Jackieness> <Noire> *heads down from the tower*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> WE will need to get you a space suit. There should be some in 1C's locker - hopefully. *As they all reach 1C, the group finds a tram there thankfully. Ren gets into it*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hop on quickly
<DeathStar> *As the PAX shakes from nearing the atmosphere*
<Seraphna> **Jaime and Kaelan hop on**
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks for a space suit for Xan while they do*
<XanTop> <Xan> Good call. 6* He moves to look for a locker with Erevis
<Jackieness> <Noire> *climbs into the tram*
<DeathStar> *Xanatos manages to locate it*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Next, we will need to - without CHIP - manually disconnect the tower. There should be some overrides and manual locks. This will allow the tower to be ejected incase of it being compromised. *the tram takes off while they do it*
<DeathStar> *The tram shakes and jolts them at high speeds as the place seems like it's shaking apart with no one at the helm*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Is anyone even flying the PAX?!
<XanTop> 6* Xan begins to suit up, trying to remember where the manual disconnect would even be.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well we all left the bridge so… no.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Did that thing really cause that much damage?!"
<DeathStar> <Taiga on comm> Oh no
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "Probably."
<DeathStar> <Taiga on comm> This is all us
<Seraphna> Jaime> Wha…?
<DeathStar> <Taiga on comm> Nothing
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "... ... ...what did you do, Taiga?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga on comm> Helping destroy LEgion by crashing the PAX. Why you ask?
<Dias`> <IdComm> I found it an interesting challenge to assist her in.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Damnit we almost got her to give the Angel’s power back.
<DeathStar> <Taiga on comm> Don't pin that on me. I Saw the camera, LEgion was already trying to eat you
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Tareh should be fine with my wife and daughter at the helm still.
<DeathStar> *The tram comes to a stop, lurching and tumbles off it's rail a bit*
<Seraphna> Jaime> No… not blaming. You couldn’t have known I’d try to end this peacefully.
<DeathStar> *Ren lays upside down*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...oh...well. I'm still not following how crashing the PAX while we're still on it helps... especially since that impact probably wont kill Legion... but, ok."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Shit. **she looks around**
<DeathStar> <TAiga on comm> Head to security
<DeathStar> *She has arrows appear*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Alright this is our stop then.
<Dias`> <IdComm> Why do they always question us?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *pulls herself out of the tram, tendrils pulling out the others*
<DeathStar> *Ren hurries onward where they reach security and see where notes on the buffed up secuity and their hyperspace can be found*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan helps with Tendrils**
<DeathStar> *as well as a teleporter to a personal teleporter*
<Alicia> * Charlotte grabs the notes
<DeathStar> *personal shuttle even*
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses and grabs the notes with her**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Adeline will probably be able to sort me out with this.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We're at security."
<DeathStar> <TAiga on comm> Use the teleporter
<DeathStar> *Ren activates it and gets on*
<Alicia> * Yoiyami teleports with Ren
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps on to the teelporter*
<Seraphna> **Jaime and Kaelan get on, Kaelan carrying Shizu in tendrils**
<DeathStar> *By now the PAX has truly begun tonose dive into the planet, shields heating up*
<DeathStar> *They appear in the shuttle with Taiga at the controls*
<Alicia> * Charlotte steps on with Noire, only shortly after Ren and Yoiyami
<DeathStar> *in the back is an Ao looking person tied up*
<DeathStar> *a power dampener on her*
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks and moves to check on her**
<Alicia> <Victoire> "Hey everyone."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...Taiga, did you kidnap Ao?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> She tried to use some weird hyperspace on me
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It was so fast and hot it almost burned everything
<Dias`> <Id> It was this or we had to kill her.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I took some of that stuff in me.
<DeathStar> *outside the shuttle, the toweris seen floating away*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well now we have the progenitor gifter.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then she might have your cure, KJaime."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Looks like they disconnected it. *At that moment, a massive Legion eldrich creature emerges, attached to the bottom* <Taiga> .. why is Legion no longer in the PAX...?
<DeathStar> <Megumi> ... *Adjusts glasses* It is bigger.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Cuz he’s that annoying.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *just gives Taiga a flat look*
<Dias`> <Id> He's apparently become harder to kill.
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: In the PAX
<DeathStar> *Erevis clings to the PAX as it closes the airlock, the tower floating off* IT is now bigger
<DeathStar> *She studies it out the window* And growing tentacles to reach for us
<XanTop> <Xan> Charging this big fucker. 6* He looks the railgun over, setting the charge
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do believe we can proclaim that thing is definitely no longer Legion. That is an eldrich horror now.
<DeathStar> *the gun begins to power up, going to level 2, then slowly 3, then 4*
<XanTop> <Xan> Whatever eldritch means. You're right. 6* He makes a face at the tentacles ands tarts aiming.
<DeathStar> *As the large mass begins to grab onto the PAX, even as the heat rises from the planet fall*
<XanTop> <Xan> Aim for the center?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would attempt it
<XanTop> 6* Xan nods and does his best to center on it, waiting for full charge.
<DeathStar> *it dings and hits the full charge as the beast gets closer*
<XanTop> <Xan> Cool catchphrase time uh...eat it! 6* He fires for the center.
<DeathStar> *the massive blast fires out ,breaking their barrier and knocking them out into space. As the blast hits it, a blackhole begins to destroy everything and pull them in with it*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Other Group
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So... did Jaime survive or did she just get eaten?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> A massive black hole is now destroy the PAX and affecting our controls. Hold on. *She struggles and tries to bring them into the planet*
<Seraphna> **Jaime feels out her mother**
<DeathStar> *Aiming for the city below*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...Megumi's gun..."
<DeathStar> *The black hole seems to swallow the PAX up and affect the planet below before the hole vanishes, probably programmed to do so after a bit*
<Dias`> <Id> Interesting.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> It was one of a kind...
<DeathStar> <Megumi> I doubt I could make another any time soon
<Seraphna> **Jaime keeps trying to find here. <We’re here… follow me to get back.>
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I never understand why you don't keep notes."
<DeathStar> *Taiga brings them in to land at the space port. Jikuu X helps Victoire out and Ren hops out with the backpack*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Notes are for nerds.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Come on Momma…
<DeathStar> <Megumi> I have notes; it is the parts that is required to make it--- *She is interrupted when a shuttle comes in and crahses practically, the wheels coming off*
<DeathStar> *it's their shuttle they came in on*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Notes are for people who want to remember how to... oh...."
<DeathStar> *Line stomps off, Erevis helping Xan off with her*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...isn't that our original ride?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> I see Line at least made it out…? Though…
<DeathStar> <Line> You owe me for sticking around to grab them
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yay!
<XanTop> <Xan> Perfect landing.
<Seraphna> Jaime> **leans over to Line** Same payment?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thankfully, I sensed Line nearby
<DeathStar> <Line> Hah
<DeathStar> <Line> With that PAX gone I suppose I can't get any info off of it
<Dias`> <Id> Do we know if it died?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... it better have..."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I hope the other me and those two got out of there… and I’ll share what we lean in fixing me.
<XanTop> <Xan> We would know if a bot made itself useful and flew around out there for a few days scanning for it.
<DeathStar> <Line> Speaking of the other you
<DeathStar> *She hands coordinates* Her landing site
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Thanks."
<DeathStar> <Line> Did you all want to go after her?
<Seraphna> Jaime> We should check on her.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "For closure if nothing else."
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks around the strangely empty shuttle port*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh we found an Ao Mom.
<DeathStar> <TAiga> Well if you are, I need to stay here and get the shuttle repaired.
<Seraphna> Jaime> She’s got the hyperspace in me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will examine her then.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Becareful
<Dias`> <Id> Are you asking me to go scan for you Durran?
<XanTop> <Xan> Yes.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...and what are the rest of us to do in the mean time?"
<DeathStar> *Ren hands Yoiyami a mini weapon*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Some of us can remain here, the rest lets go check on the other Jaime and her love toys
<DeathStar> <Ren> And wrap up this case
<Dias`> <Id> I don't feel like going through the effort of sighing, but please pretend in your head that I'm giving you an incredible long sigh. *The sphere turns and floats up to begin scanning*
<DeathStar> *As they head out of the spaceport, the group finds what looks to be oddly stiff people standing around that Jaime knows from Kumen and Geyze, just milling around not doing much, acting odd*
<XanTop> <Xan> I told you Chad was a weirdo, he made that, he made it catty like that. 6* He tells Erevis.
<Seraphna> Jaime> They’re her wives.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...this seems abnormal."
<Seraphna> Jaime> This is weird. I know a lot of these people.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Quirky is the spice of life. *She studies the hyperspace, then eyes the notes*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Now I'm wondering if we made a mistake leaving Erevis and Taiga back at the port.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm… she may have brought people back only as she knew them.
<DeathStar> *The people greet them in a creepy way - too friendly, too artifical - as they reach a personal shuttle port and a house*
<DeathStar> *the shuttle door is open and a blood trial leads up to the house*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... *pauses*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ...
<Seraphna> Jaime> Oh no…
<DeathStar> <Jikuu X> ... *holds Victoire back*
<Seraphna> **Jaime heads for the house**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *forms her Dark Edge* "...I'm taking point. Come on." *heads to the house*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...I knew it..."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Get ready to shoot some people, Yoi
<Alicia> <Victoire> "...yeah, I'll hang back."
<Seraphna> Jaime> **seems worried more than anything as she rushes over**
<DeathStar> *The front door is open*
<Seraphna> **Jaime peers in** Jaime?
<DeathStar> *the other Jaime is laying on the floor, a knife in her side, with the Adeline and Gnome standing there, ready to stab her more, turning to look at Jaime. They immediately throw the knife at Jaime's head*
<Seraphna> **Jaime TK catches it** What… what are you doing!?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Monkey's Paw. They came back hating her or evil."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan whispers to Shizuki**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Oh, Jaime. We just wanted to get rid of the bad one for you. That's all. *she walks over to her*
<DeathStar> *Gnome nods*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *steps forward* "Watch yourself... but its your call, Jaime..."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... yeah..."
<DeathStar> *Shizuki sinks in to get near the Jaime on the floor*
<Seraphna> Jaime> She just wanted you both back. She’s not well.
<DeathStar> *They both get on either side of her, glancing back* Well, we can't abide her actions, you know?
<Seraphna> Jaime> I suppose but… what will you do now?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Losing you kind of... messed her up."
<DeathStar> *Shizuki rises up and touches the Jaime, glowing osmething* She is alive. Barely
<Seraphna> Jaime> **she slowly moves over to kneel by her**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I suppose we'll remain here. We have nothin else
<DeathStar> <Gnome> No reason to bother you even more.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I’m sorry it led to this.
<Seraphna> **Jaime gently makes her other self comforterable**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We all are."
<DeathStar> *the two move to go; Ren watches them go*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Welll then.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... hating her, it is." *looks at the others* "Be careful what you wish for."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If it's any consolation... I don't blame you for wanting them back."
<DeathStar> *The other Jaime grabs Jaime for a moment, whispering something*
<Seraphna> Jaime> At least you got to see them one last time. Right?
<Seraphna> **Jaime blinks**
<DeathStar> *spewing what could be angery hatred, before stiffening*
<DeathStar> *and going still*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...what was that?"
<DeathStar> *proceeding to cough up strange vile liquid that looks to be wrong*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Shit, everyone get back!"
<Seraphna> Jaime> **steps back and peers around**
<Seraphna> Jaime> It’s all just a game to her.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Game?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan yoinks Shizu away from the gunk**
<DeathStar> *Shizuki eyes it and makes a face*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...we were warned about its true nature."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Did you take it darling?
<DeathStar> <Shizuki> I have it
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Good girl~
<DeathStar> <Ren> So it's over? No more Legion, no more Jaime? We just need to get off the planet?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And back to our own reality."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah… we should leave soon too. This entire place is probably a bit eldritch
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'll get back to the shuttle port then
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We just need to go home."
<DeathStar> *Ren heads back*
<Seraphna> **Jaime eyes her other self’s remains** And there goes a great soul, but without the bang that was her life, instead a whimper. Adieu.

<DeathStar> -TBC/-Minis are Open-
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks up as the others return*
<DeathStar> <Ren> This place is creepy
<DeathStar> *in the distance, a giant mountain has begun to rise*
* Jackieness has quit IRC
<Seraphna> Jaime> So it seems She twisted the other Jaime’s efforts to make them hate her. She’s dead.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Fairly certain the people here are not much more than poor constructs.
<DeathStar> <Ren> That would explain it
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Glancing over Ao, I have some ideas of what is up
