<DeathStar> Date: 10-569.5.7
<DeathStar> Location: Peacekeeper HQ
<DeathStar> *a large structure, located near Yggdrasil, complete with ships of various races, monitors Yggdrasil for threats for threats not from other realities, but from above and below these days. At this moment, Warren Carmichael has inflitrated the building's higher offices, flipping through looking through the folders of the person running the Peacekeepers, looking for something, wearing a camera glasses as he transmits the data back somewhere. A moment later, lights come on and a figure stands just out of range in the shadows, catching him off guard, giving him just a moment to turn and glance over* <Warren> Ah. You. *Before suddenly collapsing from a seeming heart attack*
<DeathStar> Date: 10-564.10.3
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks over Cuddles report and Lorelei's report, since it looks like Jikuu is not around to do it*
<XanTop> <Xan> Somehow you always end up back in this spot.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It appears so. Lorelei and her team, it would appear, are going to Jarivan for Chad
<DeathStar> <Erevis> However, Cuddles believes she can wake Lenneth up
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> Hope so. With all the tech, manifesting and magic going on.
<XanTop> <Xan> We going to try to wake her up soon?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Let us go see Cuddles. *Erevis spins one of the runes around in her hand and grabs it*
<Seraphna> **Thena slips in her reports**
<DeathStar> *then grbas the report with the other, peering at it*
<Seraphna> **Mixed silly things such as her Princess report and actual intel Warren gives her to transport**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> While we are walking, I can discuss something else. *She lowers it*
<XanTop> 6* Xan tilts his head as he flances to her.
<XanTop> <Xan> Yeah?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The Peacekeeper organization has begun to step in to help without problem, too, taking up looking for viable worlds in our territory to relocate misplaced people and are helping handle supplies. I imagine in the upcoming days, as a neutral organization made up people and ships that we have given them, they will only grow in influence - especially people who do not want to deal with politics
<XanTop> <Xan> You feel like she should keep an eye on them?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Depends. I have told the Aquarius crew they do not have to be part of the Peacekeepers anymore and can go back to helping Geyze. If they do decide to do that, that would mean we do not have that many people in the organization right now
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Outside a few of our Suisen ships
<XanTop> <Xan> Shew, sure feels like there's always something. But as long as they're helping people that's what matters.
<Seraphna> Thena> The Great Dread Pirate Thena can help.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh? *they arrive in medical*
<Seraphna> Thena> She did not loose too many ships in the Cartel fight. Though alas I, Agent Thena still have not caught her.
<DeathStar> *Cuddles is standing by Lenneth. Ren is leaning back, hands behind her head, there to make sure nothing goes wrong*
* Dias` has joined #TAW-Session685
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> You ready?
<Seraphna> **Jaims pops in**
<Seraphna> **Jaime
<XanTop> <Xan> How worried should I be during this?
<XanTop> <Xan> LIke what are our chances of success here?
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Well, she should be strong to wake; it is how she might react upon waking and then that might strain her body. We might need to put her back into a sleep state if she becomes too rowdy
<Seraphna> **Jaime sets down a pile of healing spirts**
<DeathStar> *Cuddles begin to slowly wake her*
<XanTop> 6* Xan's jaw is clenched as he watches, a tight clench to his arms as they're crossed too.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth slowly opens her eyes; the heartrate starting to spike*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Uggh.... *She looks around, as if panicking a bit*
<Seraphna> **Jaime squeezes Cloud a little**
<DeathStar> *Cloud soaks LEnneth*
<Seraphna> **Thena uses psionics to gently give her calm feelings**
<XanTop> <Xan> It's okay Len.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth sputters, opening her eyes*
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> .... you wet my patient
<Seraphna> Jaime> Healing water.
<DeathStar> *Cuddles twitches*
<DeathStar> *reaching for her neck*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> What...happened? *She looks around, confused*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Try to warn next time.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Should I restrain the doc?
<Seraphna> Jaime> A lot sis. You’re safe now sis.
<Seraphna> **Jennifer puts a hand on Cuddles’ shoulder**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Let me see if I can bring Lenneth up to date
<DeathStar> *Erevis leans over to Lenneth and touches her head*
<XanTop> <Xan> Lots of stuff happened, you've been out a while.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth winces, the information dump making her stats go wild. She strains to wise, but is unable to do so*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Are we...doing anything about the enemy?
<XanTop> <Xan> Easy. 6* He moves to put a hand on her shoulder.
<XanTop> <Xan> There will be other times to talk about that.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos is right. You need to recover. Cuddles tells me she has a regiment of therapy for you to speedily recover
<Seraphna> Jaime> And I brought Cloud to help.
<DeathStar> *Cloud looks like a spirit that was grabbed off the street*
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Alright. *She settles back down and nods to Xan*
<Seraphna> Jaime> **slowly eyes the spirit**
<XanTop> <Xan> We're in recovery mode right now across all of Suisen. So it's a good opportunity for you to work on yourself.
<XanTop> <Xan> We'll all be here along the way.
<DeathStar> *Cloud, having been playing in the water and mud, is a complete mess and looks around for things to get into*
<Seraphna> **Jaime sets her by the sink and turns it on**
<DeathStar> *Cloud eeps as she circles the drain and vanishes down*
<Seraphna> Jaime> This girl…
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> We should let her rest
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> We are overstimulating her
<XanTop> <Xan> Yeah, good idea. I'll be back to check on you soon.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Mmm, yes. And I should make sure my youngest doesn’t find Cloud and get ideas.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth nods, wincing a bit as she holds her chest; Ren guides Jaime out*
<DeathStar> *Erevis bows and steps out*
<Seraphna> **Jaime pouts and paws at her sister as she’s guided out**
<DeathStar> *Erevis checks the time* I need to meet with the Peacekeepers anyway
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And confer with them about new planets to move people. Aya Winters is going to join me
<Seraphna> Thena> Ah yes, Married To Lumi Thena’s team.
<DeathStar> *Adeline and Aya joins Erevis to meet with them*
<XanTop> 6* Xan pats Lenneth's shoulder before he leaves, moving to catch up with Erevis.
<Seraphna> **Jaime joins them on the way, soaking wet after going to get Cloud**
<Dias`> *Id floats beside Aya*
<DeathStar> *Adeline seems to be thinking of something as Xanatos steps out*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Everyone here?
<XanTop> <Xan> I think so.
<Seraphna> **Jaime’s gown starts cleaning up the water**
<Dias`> <Id> It would appear so.
<DeathStar> *Cloud opts to go human form instead of water form*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> You know
<DeathStar> <Adeline> With Jikuu not around as much as she should be and Lenneth and injured, we will need to choose a definitive new Suisen leader soon, especially with everything going on
<DeathStar> *being injured
<Seraphna> Jaime> What does have her busy?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am unsure what is keeping her.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm..." *walks on to the scene* "...and why does it have to be all in the family?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> **get a look**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Bylaws I made after an attempted coup. The Senate itself, with it's many worlds they oversee and control, are their purview, but the Royal Familyship that controls the PAX itself, will always be under the family
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is what I made to split the duties between us
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...and yet here we are."
<XanTop> <Xan> Don't we also have some failsafes that require hyperspace as well?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, hyperspace is needed for the ship
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I could right now put a vote within the family for a new Emperor or Empress
<Seraphna> Thena> What wrong with here? Lotsa Suisej family! Even have spare Thenas!
<Dias`> *Id records this conversation for future examples of how the Suisen Empire fell*
<Seraphna> Thena 2> You said it Thena.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The reason I have not, yet, is for a few reasons
<Seraphna> Thena 3> I agree with Thena.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Lenneth has just awoken. We can do her duties until we need to do a vote of no confidence.
<XanTop> <Xan> I know doing this job is all she ever wanted and she's done well. I agree we shouldn't rush it, but maybe someone can speak with Jikuu about showing up.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks at her fingernails* "...mmmm...then split the load amongst yourselves who do care and stop contemplating your navels."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was not aware I had complaints?
<DeathStar> *She tilts her head*
<Seraphna> Thena 2> You have a cute navel!
<Seraphna> Thena 3> Thanks Thena!
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I am the one who believes we should move decisively with things moving quickly. But whatever
<DeathStar> *She moves for the meeting*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hey, I’m always for the decisive moves.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Fools rush in, Jaime, though try to have fun in there."
<Seraphna> Jaime> I try my best. You’re unusually catty today.
<DeathStar> *Aya eyes Noire* Sometimes it is better to be quiet than to be thought of a fool
<DeathStar> *Aya walks for the meeting*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm..." *walks off another direction*
<Dias`> *Id ffloats along side her* I'm curious as to why she felt a need to stir the pot.
<Seraphna> **Jaime sits with Adeline**
<DeathStar> <Aya> Could be boredom. I do not agree with Adeline either about new leadership either if they can just wing it with Erevis. Infact, I imagine it will be Erevis who will take the leadership in the end. If one does the work, they will get saddled with it in the end
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *Lorelei's shuttles zooms through hyperspace*
<DeathStar> *Rachael chews on some gum*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Alright, we're almost at Jarivan
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So maybe we could hit soem clubs before we leave."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So we’re on vacation or a mission? I have to ask with New Jarivan.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei hands Kaelan the mission files again*
<Dias`> <Durt> I'm just confirming something. You guys are more than welcome to check out it all out.
<DeathStar> *The shuttle comes out near New Jarivan*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Just because we're her eon business doesn't mean we can't have some fun. Call it part of our cover."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hmmm… **she begins her usual tail inspection for riders**
<Dias`> *As they drop out a good distance away, they'd find that security is pretty high around New Jarivan with some hangers being constructed on it's perimeter to shuttle people in to New Jarivan itself*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei leans out the window at the place, studying it, while Kaelan locates Gemane and Su and Shizuki and Nocturne*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> We could get the swimsuit catalog photos here too.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Yeah, beach time."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Seems most of my girls decided to go on vacation too.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> .... *eyes New Jarivan in thought*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Whoa... what's with the security?"
<Dias`> <Durt> I've got us clearance to enter the main hanger. *He looks at Moira* Well, considering how they're trying to make this the new jewel of the Cartel space, it makes sense they want to protect it.
<XanTop> <Valen> Takes a while to scale back security after galactic crisis.
<XanTop> <Valen> Oh this is just...the security here?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> The fact they made new Jarivan out of some station always bothers me
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Especially when you were the only group to truly abandon the PAX.
<Dias`> <Durt> Yeah. It came out of no where very quickly. *He eyes them getting the ok to fly in the main hanger*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We know anything about the station?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, I guess it's more of a big... ship
<DeathStar> *She eyes the design*
<DeathStar> *trying to place it*
<Dias`> <Durt> They did what they needed to do to protect they're people, Kaelan. All while never hurting the PAX outright.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hmmm… **she clips a pic of the design**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Do we have access to the PAX or Peacekeeper databases?
<DeathStar> *Lorelei brings them into the hanger in the meantime*
<XanTop> <Valen> So is this place just another PAX?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We should have both
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Its not another PAX they ripped off from another reality like what was going on a while back, is it?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Wait
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Shit
<Dias`> <Durt> It looks like...*He sighs a bit* Winters was only able to get us 2 rooms. Big rooms at least.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei goes through the files*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **nods and sends a command to CHIP to compare the structure against their mission files**
<DeathStar> *Lorelei rubs her face* I wonder if Erevis already knows
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Huh? What is it?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Not the first time we've had to split just two rooms."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> What you two just said - another PAX ripped off from another reality. You remember the Dark War>?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...what about it?"
<Dias`> <Durt> There was the one that the Suisen Empire decided to make their own than use as a decoy.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Wasn’t the second one destroyed?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> The second one was very much damaged
<Jackieness> <Moira> "That should have been well within Suisen space though, right?"
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> But Xanatos gave the rights to the Cartel
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Wait are we saying that Jarivan is built on a ruined PAX?
<Dias`> <Durt> It appears to be what you guys are saying.
<XanTop> <Valen> Why would he do that?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> It don't know the details. I just read the reports later
<Dias`> *Durt moves to the side of the shuttle and steps outside once it opens up*
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> We'd have to talk to Erevis
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **goes a bit pale, then eyes the planet stats and checks against something else**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Probably a deal for all those ships they used to helpr ebuild the other species."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lets just hope the second one was destroyed enough not to be a threat
<DeathStar> *she follows Durt; Rachael looks shakey and goes with*
<XanTop> <Valen> Rach, you okay?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Mmm… there’s a few other worries.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The Cartel, with a possible super weapon? Not really
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Not just that, they have a long history in manufacturing Genocide. Them with PAX tech all to themselves is worrying.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "They are literally using it for a giant resort hotel. Besides, didn't they gut them thing to rebuild our PAX?"
<Dias`> <Durt> Well, that's for the politicians to figure out....*He pauses as he looks at Kaelan* Manufacturing Genocide?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...also... what would the other major powers do if they caught wind of it? The Tsivirxsh could go ballistic. And then the Earth politicians."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> The PAX teams once found a station with an archive of previous attempts or plans. Including viruses to kill Dragoon Gen 2s, Ridariums, and other species.
<Dias`> *Durt walks along as he heads to their hotel section*
<DeathStar> *Lorelei nods to Moira*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Makes me wonder what research those hyperspace disruptors came from.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> For now
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lets just focus on why we're here
<Dias`> <Durt> Well, you're more than welcome to take that all up with the Peacekeepers. *He shrugs, seeing as he has no skin in this*
<XanTop> <Valen> Remind me why we're here. I was definitely paying attention.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Black market
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Durt’s after the good stuff.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Just follow Durt's lead."
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> That is always what you do. *She murmurs in thought*
<Dias`> <Durt> Every year to few years the Cartel host a very elite auction. During the back end of it, they tend to have a secondary one that borders on illegal at times to outright illegal.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Sounds easy enough
<XanTop> <Valen> I'm great at pretending I belong at rich and fancy places.
<DeathStar> *Rachael makes a face*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> That something Vesper taught you?
<Dias`> <Durt> I'm here to see if it's happening here. If it is, I'll get my way in and watch for some things. Pretty low key stuff. I was told I should bring Lorelei and you guys for back-up since I have a tendency to end up in bad situations.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You don’t need to pretend that.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Lets get situated then
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> <Andrea> So.
<Seraphna> Angel> So.
<DeathStar> *She sits at the meeting, going over all the Suisen citizens they're holding and having to make room for* The Peacekeepers are stepping in to help. But until that time comes, Repliforce will assist them.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Cran is helping repair Blue, but until then Cole is in charge
<XanTop> <Cole> Which none of us want, but it is what it is.
<XanTop> <Cole> We're fully taskes, all squads are out in the field and coordinators are keeping them busy.
<XanTop> (tasked)
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "ITs how things work out after a crisis."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Stacey will help coordinate with you
<DeathStar> <Andrea> So you can rely on her
<Dias`> *Chad sits, listening*
<XanTop> <Cole> Good, I need the help.
<Seraphna> Angel> And I’m here because my sisters are the robotics mad scientists. I’m just the biomolecular mad scientist.
<DeathStar> <Cran> I do want to focus on one thing. I got a memo sent from Cheryl's team
<DeathStar> <Cran> Adeline informed them that Spade has slipped under the radar after finishing his obligations
<Dias`> <Chad> It was only a matter of time.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Hm. So something to deal with in the future.
<Seraphna> Angel> Spade specializes in the future.
<Dias`> <Chad> I suppose that depends on how far his future sight is.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Hopefully he won't be a future headache for us."
<XanTop> <Cole> I really don't understand that whole thing with him, but to each their own.
<Seraphna> Angel> Angela provided an insight, saying that the very amount he seemed to do of late was well beyond anything he was capable of in her old memories.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Alright, Here's what we're going to do. I'd like to see about getting some people into the Peacekeepers. They're a growing organization. I know that the Cartel will likely be putting manpower into them, even if they're a neutral group; having eyes and ears in it as they grow in power will be important. With Emeralda gone and Blue down for the count, if any of you are interested let me know. Otherwise, I'll turn to Cheryl's people
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I plan to supply them with some ships since the Suisen will likely be unable to as well
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "IT was easier to be more welcoming when they were a relatively small, glorified neighborhood watch."
<DeathStar> <Cran> IF they're going to be any use, they will have to get bigger.
<Seraphna> Angel> If’s the natural progression. People were just as nervous when Earth started to become EarthGov and not a bunch of monkeys throwing thermonuclear devices at each other.
<Dias`> <Chad> It would be a good move for Earthgov to intigrate more with the Peacekeepers.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "The question is one of accountability, in my mind. Who watches the watchers?
<XanTop> <Cole> No offense but you all really have trouble trusting anyone that's not you. Reploids are the perfect example of that. There's still a layer of trust that just isn't there.
<Seraphna> Angel> As long as each of them calls another place their home, the watchers watch each other, lest they lose it.
<Dias`> <Chad> Each other essentially.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> *grabs the paperwork* According to the Peacekeeper draft that we all drew up, if a race believes that something is strange about the organization, and vice versa, we can look into the Peacekeeper group
<Dias`> <Chad> These last few big wars has only proved that our galaxy needs a stronger defense force to keep itself protected.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> The Peacekeepers do rely, at least at this point - I am sure they will become somewhat self-sufficent soon, on the main races for supplies, manpower, and ships
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "The original hope was that the PAX would have provided that."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> The PAX is still dealing with the politics as we speak
<Seraphna> Angel> I’m curious if the Templars will make a move to join this too. They’re already sort of what the Peacekeepers will be.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> They drafted up the idea of the Peacekeepers afterall
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Precisely. The PAX became central to a distinct political entity, so it lost the appearance of neutrality."
<Seraphna> Angel> They’ll be a power when they get Templar tech.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "It depends on what the Templars will actually contribute."
<DeathStar> *Andrea folds her hands under her chin* Either way, I'll speak to Cheryl's group later
<Dias`> *Chad rubs his face a bit* Well, I can let her know. I'm supposed to meet up with them after this.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> As for the Templars, they are tentatively an ally of the Suisen and the Senate.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I should have the name of their ambassador somewhere
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "They were also the only ones who went at the PAX in a serious way. Even the Cartel was just putting on a stage play."
<DeathStar> *Andrea tosses a report on Cassandra's desk*
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> *picks up the report*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> It would seem that their marked worlds were getting dealt a rougher hand than ours.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> So Cersei took her ship before Commander Thomas could chase her
<Dias`> <Chad> Most likely to force them to come here. The no excuse angle.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "So they were pushed into a corner."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Cersei has been put into jail for her actions
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Xevil probably thought they had the best chance to take out the PAX. They didn't make themselve known to us until after xevil's time."
<DeathStar> <Andrea> Most likely. I am Thomas could have sent someone to stop Cersei or contacted us, but he might have secretly wanted her to succed
<DeathStar> *sure
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Of course, destroying the PAX would not have stopped the wheels rotating against him by that point."
<DeathStar> *Andrea stands up* I need to see to Marcus' wounds for now.
<XanTop> <Cole> I'll go get in contact with Stacey.
<DeathStar> *Andrea nods to Cole*
<Dias`> <Chad> I'll let Cheryl know you what you brought up.
<Seraphna> Angel> My sister been here to heal him yet? I’m not the Holy user she is.
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I'd appreciate that. Else I might have to go barge in on her
<Dias`> *Chad gets up and moves to leave*
<DeathStar> <Andrea> I have it underway.
<Jackieness> <Cassandra> "Then meeting adjourned." *stands*
<XanTop> 6* Cole stands up and moves to leave.
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *The Peacekeeper members sit across from the group; most of them appear to be young people, looking to be a mix of military or activist. Aya studying them thoughtfully*
<DeathStar> *they ramble about what they'd like to do, using the ships they've been given and pointing out terraforming certain worlds to then transfer the people there*
<Seraphna> **Jaime listens, looking over what they are given**
<DeathStar> *Adeline listens, tapping her datapad on the table* Since this is on our territory, there is no real issues, but your ideas are quite costly. <Young Man> Ah, yeah... The bill, we'd have to pass that onto you...
<DeathStar> *Erevis studies the proposal, glancing over stuff as she does it in her head*
<Dias`> *Id floats beside Aya* Hmmm. These are Suisen people so the bill would normally fall upon the Suisen Empire.
<Seraphna> **Jaime muses, “If we were soley funding you, it would look like you’re simply a Suisen arm.”
<DeathStar> <Man> Well, if were moving Cartel civilians to another planet, I'd ask them to pay the bill. We're not quite at the point we can pay such a massive bill. <Aya> I have a question. What is the structure of your leadership?
<DeathStar> *The men look at each other, then back* <Man> Well, we're divided up a bit into cells, I suppose, since we mostly are made to protect against possible threats. *Referring to the Serpent War forcing their creation*
<XanTop> <Xan> Who commands the cells?
<Dias`> <Id> It would seem the Peacekeepers need more structure.
<DeathStar> *the man begins to list the various cells, many of them various military men from Earth, Suisen, the Cartel, a Tsivrixsh, etc*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Have you considered… mixing the crews?
<DeathStar> <Man> Well, we do have mixed crews too.
<DeathStar> <Aya> You need, if you plan to grow and function outside just being protection force, you need a more centralized structure
<Dias`> <Id> Aya is correct. A central Hub for training and to better give commands out of would be a great step forward in improving them.
<Seraphna> Jaime> It may help to fully mix crews. When you’re fully sharing ships, tech and officers you can be much more united.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> And who would take on that job? <Aya> I do not mind. I enjoy such tasks. I can bring Evette and Fiona. But if they wish to grow and bring in more funds, the cell structure can only work so much. IT might help with the miliary aspect but the governing aspect of the Peacekeepers it will not
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is something I cannot help with as it would be a conflict of interest
<Seraphna> Jaime> Aya is quite familiar with how diversity can make one stronger. **she smiles**
<XanTop> <Xan> Would it be possible to get assistant from Geyze's spirits in terraforming efforts to reduce costs?
<DeathStar> <Aya> That is a great idea, Mister Durran
<DeathStar> *Aya moves to join the men, who look baffled at this turn of events*
<Dias`> <Id> Will it affect tG
<XanTop> <Xan> ...did she just give herself a job? 6* He whispers to Erevis.
<Dias`> <Id> Will it affect Geyze if you use them to do suc ha thing? *He floats with her*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Most of our spirits have multiple spirits to take duties now.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Seeing as the spirits have been on record of going off plant and using their powers before, it should not be a problem; but we will do a test planet terraform with Terra first. She is half-spirit so it will show how will she does. Then the rest should be able to do so
<DeathStar> *Erevis looks bemused*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I think my daughter just got conscripted.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well, I admit I feel more relieved with Aya on the books
<DeathStar> *Adeline hmmmm's, keeping her face poke faced, watching Aya and Id work*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: New Jarivan
<DeathStar> *Lorelei keeps an eye on the time of the black market deal*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So.... how is this supposed to work?"
<XanTop> <Valen> Yeah Durt, how does one black market.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *relaxes in a bikini* Hmmmm? What?
<Dias`> *Durt pulls down his datapad* Seems Winters was right, it is happening here. The main auction starts in a few hours. During that, time the other auction will start.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So do you have a plan?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Who are we buying?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Probably they'll be selling Fate or something
<DeathStar> *she peaces out*
<Dias`> <Durt> Yeah. I use some credentials I have to get myself in to the other market, you guys enjoy your time here. Relax. Eat, drink.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I think he’s trying to reverse psychology us.
<Dias`> *Durt sighs as he glances at his datapad* Apparently it's made as a plus one.
<DeathStar> *Rachael points* That looks familiar
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So we jut make like tourists while you and a partner head in?"
<Dias`> <Durt> If you want to check the main auction, you're welcome to. Maybe buy yourself something nice.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I meant Truth and I can just ride a shadow.
<Dias`> *Durt looks at where Rachael is pointing*
<DeathStar> *A white haired man that looks a lot like Spade is standing next to a white haired woman that looks very similiar to Adeline, perhaps. The two are standing by the pools, discussing something. A cute child Fate sits by the pool, watching them, with all the stealth of someone standing out with her powers acting up now*
<Dias`> <Durt> I don't want to risk it...*He eyes the scene as he reaches up to a spot below his ear and taps it*
<XanTop> 6* Valen squints.
<XanTop> <Valen> What the hell am I seeing?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan looks bemused**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...well...there's Fate."
<Dias`> <Durt> It appears to be Spade and....Is that a mini-Spade?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I think that's Fate.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> The woman, looks like Adeline though, but she should be on the ship
<Seraphna> **Kaelan wraps some tails around Shizuki and nods a bit**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "A clone? Clone-itis happens alot with that family."
<Dias`> <Durt> If that's the case. It would appear he found a new replacement.
<DeathStar> *the two head off, in the direction of Cartel activities*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> We sure it’s Spade?
<DeathStar> *Fate watches and poofs*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Well, it had to be someone important because Fate was staring at them the whole time."
<Dias`> <Durt> You guys are welcome to follow and confirm.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> And your plus one?
<XanTop> <Valen> They all had white hair, wonder if they were people like Fate.
<DeathStar> *Lorelei turns to Durt*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You think they could be higher being versions?
<DeathStar> <Rachael> That would be creepy
<Dias`> <Durt> Well, I can't go with any of them.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I have white hair, and I'm not related to Fate."
<Dias`> <Durt> You're probably the only one that can fit in naturally with me.
<XanTop> <Valen> You sure you're not?
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I'll stick with Durt, then. You all can investigate Fate if you want
<XanTop> 6* Valen gives a thumbs up.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...I'm pretty sure..."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *looks at the others* Do we vacation or loook into this?
<XanTop> <Valen> I'm already ready to be a detective.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Rachel, let's go change and then get to work."
<Dias`> <Durt> Try not to make a scene. Security seems to be pretty tight around here. And my powers have gotten spotty. They most likely have power suppressors.
<DeathStar> *Rachael changes and heads where they saw Fate leave to; soon they would catch up to what looks to be a white haired Fate kid again, peering at door*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "..and there we go."
<XanTop> <Valen> We should approach, right?
<DeathStar> *it looks to be a hotel room*
<Dias`> <Durt> Do you have an outfit? *He looks at Lorelei*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I still say we could have kept the bikinis.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> I have a multitiude of outfits
<DeathStar> *Lorelei goes through a few that she thinks will fit best*
<DeathStar> *Rachael creeps up on Fate and grabs her*
<DeathStar> <Fate> !! *Flails*
<Dias`> *Durt nods* One of those should work.
<XanTop> <Valen> Hi Fate.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hey Fate. Don’t strain yourself into an infant.
<DeathStar> <Fate> What brings you all here? *She hangs there*
<XanTop> <Valen> I don't know.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We're tourists."
<XanTop> <Valen> What're you doing?
<DeathStar> <Fate> I been getting this ... weird ... feeling like something is going to happen. I been wanting to check the future out, but 5 years is too much for me to go anymore
<XanTop> <Valen> This door is part of that?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We thought we saw Spade here."
<DeathStar> <Fate> So while searching around for the source of the noise I been feeling, trying to see what it might link to where it might began, I know that it might begin somewhere today. So I been jumping around. And found Spade with Adeline's daughter. They are checking out the Cartel
<DeathStar> <Rachael> So not a clone
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **frowns a little**
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So it is Spade?
<XanTop> <Valen> Sounds like it. They say anything weird Fate?
<DeathStar> <Fate> Oh yes. There's a third person up watching them. *she points at a room facing the room with Spade and the daughter*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...this is getting complicated."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Like, stalking or guarding watching?
<DeathStar> <Fate> I can take you
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Might be quicker
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Yeah… growing concerned.
<DeathStar> *Fate dumps them into the room, where Wade grabs a lamp and tried to hit Valen on the head, thinking the guy will be most dangerous*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Whoa Wade?
<DeathStar> *Wade pauses, holding it*
<XanTop> <Valen> HEy wh-6* He pauses, eyes closed
<DeathStar> *Wade sets it down*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> What are you doing here?
<DeathStar> <Wade> *Signs rapidly*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> You pick that up?
<Seraphna> **Kaelan peers then signs him to go a bit slower**
<XanTop> <Valen> So he's spying on Spade and the not-Adeline girl.
<DeathStar> *Wade signs: We're here to try try to steal a supposed mind jack for Adeline and her body that might appear her*
<DeathStar> *supposedly two were made, for me and two for me*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...what did he say?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> They’re here to steal a mind jack for Adeline.
<DeathStar> *Spade and the girl head out into the market*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Oh they're going to draw heat
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...right... .. ...what's a mindjack?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> So you’re working with Spade? Libbie? Both?
<XanTop> <Valen> Oh Wade is working with them?
<DeathStar> *Wade signs - allows the person to takeover Adeline's body for their own*
<DeathStar> *or control it remotely*
<DeathStar> *Watching ovER Libbie for double cross*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> It’s a mind control device. And he’s with Libbie. Planning to double cross the old man?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Or in case he tries to?
<DeathStar> <Wade> <If he does. We're here to take them and destroy>
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Uh, while we were talking, the two left the room
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I think Wade knows.
<XanTop> <Valen> Coo-Oh I was about to offer help but I think we're making it worse.
<DeathStar> *Wade panicks*
<DeathStar> *And runs out*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **sighs and grabs the others, hitching a ride in his shadow**
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...nope... he didn't know."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Lets go
<Dias`> *As Kaelan attempts to jump in a shadow she would find it's incredibly hard*
<Dias`> *Borderline dangerous*
<DeathStar> *Fate pants, chasing after them since her own jumps have been hard to do*
<XanTop> 6* Valen follows after Wade
<Seraphna> **Kaelan grumbles and follows the old way** Something about this place is deterring my hops.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Date: 10-659.5.10
<DeathStar> Location: Earth
<DeathStar> *Stacey looks at the body* So the cause of death is heart attack? *Cheryl leans back* We going to believe that?
<DeathStar> *her arms are crossed*
<Seraphna> Angela> Very unlikely.
<DeathStar> *Stacey sighs, President at this point*
<DeathStar> <Stacey> I should have the body transferred to the PAX so Erevis can present it to Arhn
<Seraphna> Angela> With a health nut for a daughter? She always kept up on his health.
<Dias`> *Chad looks over the body, studying it*
<Dias`> <Chad> How much time can you give us with it?
<DeathStar> <Stacey> As much as you need. *She looks at Cheryl* He was found on the moon?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Apparently; I checked the recordings he was making and it looked like he was investigating nonsense, but I also say he was sending a livefeed to someone
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That was 3 days ago
<Seraphna> Angela> Damnit Warren…
<XanTop> <Kane> I have been investigating the recordings for any sort of tampering, nothing so far.
<Dias`> <Chad> Let's get it back to one of Kane's buildings. I'll see what if I can come up with anything.
<Seraphna> Angela> Who though? If they saw what he saw maybe we’ll have the killer.
<DeathStar> <Chii> Maybe he was killed in one location and moved to the moon
<Seraphna> Angela> Knowing him he died in something someone doesn’t want us to see.
<Dias`> <Chad> I'll have Id start tracing his path.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, unless he was hyperspacd there - 3 days is a lot of time - there's only so many locations in the Sol system. The moon where he was found, Earth, Geyze, Kumen, Yggdrasil, all the various planets, and of course Peacekeeper HQ
<Seraphna> Angela> **eyes Warren, getting a distant look in her eyes**
<Dias`> <Chad> He would've kept some kind of trail.
<Seraphna> Angela> It’s a weird feeling. I don’t get the kind of loss I’m feeling.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *pats Angela's head* Alright, lets see what we can find and look for that trail. And see if we can find that live feed. Kane?
<Dias`> <Chad> Well either way, we'll find out what happened to him.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Is there a way to recover that live feed even if it was sent to someone else?
<Seraphna> Angela> Depends if it was routed through anything that keeps a record.
<Dias`> <Chad> Should be. It had to be stored somewhere briefly during transfer.
<XanTop> <Kane> Chad is correct, but it may be stored in a cache somewhere. It will take some digging.
<DeathStar> *Stacey allows them to do their work while going to make contact with the others*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We'll get that bastard
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Erevis rises from speaking with Stacey, adjusting her kimono*
<DeathStar> *Erevis walks for medical, looking more solomn lately; in medical, in cyro, Fate can be seen, frozen like something out of futurerama*
<Dias`> *Dias stands there, looking at her, a dangerous air about him*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Jennifer?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Mm? Yes? **looks up**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am afraid I have bad news for you
<Seraphna> **Jennifer pauses a moment** He’s dead then?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your father died from a heart attack, it is believed, yes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Stacey' group wants to look into it a bit more
<Seraphna> Jennifer> I was afraid of this. Thena hasn’t seen him at any of the usual drops. Not a heart attack though… his heart was healthy.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> **sits a bit heavily**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well, if you wish to assist them, you may do so. I need to find Arhn and tell her the news so. Ah, hold on. The Peacekeeper leader is on the line. *she picks up her datapad and Aya Winter's face comes on the screen*
<DeathStar> <Aya Winters> I wanted to let you know our sensors here at Yggdrasil picked up some unusual energy the past few days and we are sending the results to all of the world powers. However, nothing seems to be materlizing or becoming worse. We'll let you know if anything becomes of it
<Seraphna> Jennifer> I think I will. Few days did she say?
<DeathStar> *Erevis nods as she hangs up with Aya, touching her shoulder*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Go. Do what you can
<Seraphna> Jennifer> I think Dad went down finding trouble. You should be ready.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If that is the case, I will have the Suisen ready
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> -Epilogue-
<DeathStar> *Thena at her part of the world, and Arhn, however, would both, 3 days ago, would already be the ones to have been watching the video, of Warren going through the Peacekeeper rooms, flipping through the paperwork and glancing through them as he talks to both*
<DeathStar> <Warren> The paperwork seems for the most part legit, but there are slight errors here and there of orders of troops going here when they're actually being sent there. *he compares documents and money, power consumption documents as he enters the head office of Aya Winters*
<DeathStar> <Warren> I imagine most people would not even notice
<Seraphna> Thena> To have used this group under Aya’s nose.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We're assuming she didn't
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "More evidence is needed before any conclusions may be drawn."
<Seraphna> Thena> I know but it’s Aya…
<Seraphna> Thena> She’s like Mommas only friend from kid times.
<DeathStar> <Warren> After we check her office, I'm going to Eve's and Evette's. *He begins to kneel and flip through Aya's folders, holding them up, checking Aya's notes on Yggdrasil and checking for any signs of higher beings and lower beings*
<Jackieness> <Arhn> "Remain unbiased. Be thorough."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lets see, there's a consultation here with... *He's about to read off the name when the lights come on and he turns to look at the person* It's you--- *however before the camera can fully focus on the blonde person, Warren can be heard gasping in pain and grasping at his chest, falling over and thudding. The camera focuses on the bookbase, not moving*
<Seraphna> Thena> Gramps…?
<Seraphna> Thena> …Grandpa…?
<DeathStar> *a long time begins to pass, it feels, when a face begins to come into view; however, the person who comes into view looks like it's male, because they easily jerk Warren and reach for the headset, turning it off*
<Seraphna> **Thena struggles at the controls to try and get a signal back** Grandpa???
<Jackieness> <Arhn> *folds her hands together and rises from her seat when the feed goes black*
<DeathStar> -TBC-
