<DeathStar> Location: Luna
<DeathStar> *Blue yawns, holding a drink on the noir planet as Cran stands there, while Tsukiyomi floats quietly near Stacey. Suisen equipment has been delivered by Ao and Megumi as well*
<DeathStar> *Megumi adjusts her goggles, joining Cran as they set up a machine*
<Dias`> *Id floats by*
<Xantop> <Cole> What's our timeline on this?
<DeathStar> <Cran> Well, it should tell help us pin point the problem. <Megumi> Hnn
<DeathStar> *Megumi holds out goggles to Cole and the others*
<DeathStar> *except Tsukiyomi*
<Xantop> 6* Cole takes the goggles and glances them over before putting them on
<DeathStar> *Blue and Stacey glances over them; inside there seems to be a red filter with numbers and stuff going over it as well as a cat symbol in the upper right hand corner*
<Xantop> <Cole> Branding despite not being mass produced. Fun touch.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Lets see what we can find. *she begins to turn on the machine*
<DeathStar> *Stacey glances around at the area they have the police and reploids blocked off from the public, already drawing eyes*
<DeathStar> <Stacey> Did we have to do the test near a busy area? You know the complaints I'll be hearing
<Dias`> <Id> This area was the best and safest place we could do it from.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Hmnn. Alright, lets direct our gaze toward the place Id and Cran detected the time issue
<Xantop> <Cole> Just cite health and safety, right?
<DeathStar> *Megumi glances upward*
<Dias`> <Id> If you follow Megumi's hud it will direct you in the right direction
<DeathStar> *Tsukiyomi, Blue, and Stacey also direct their head upward. Cran has already been glancing that way for some time, having been quiet. The goggles show not one tear, or even one big tear, but dozens and dozens of smaller minute tears all over the place. Some in buildings, even, some are even near the group at this moment. Some are still even forming*
<DeathStar> *some are still getting bigger, while others remain rather small*
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> ... *she seems to be adjusting her gaze to let herself see it*
<DeathStar> <Blue> What in the hell are those tears?
<DeathStar> <Cran> Those - are rips in time somehow
<Seraphna> Angel> Without a paradox or something?
<Dias`> <Id> Indeed. I've been struggling to categorize exactly whats happening with them because this is the first time I've come across them.
<Xantop> <Cole> That's sounds like a major fucking problem.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> I am only detecting that they are rips in time. I cannot give you much more than that. Some are indicating that time is moving faster in them, others time is moving slower, others might even be going backwards
<DeathStar> <Megumi> I would say indeed this is a first
<Dias`> <Id> In theory it's possible this is the culmination of all the time hijynx everywhere seems to partake in.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Usually when you come across something of this nature, it would not have all of them occur all at once
<DeathStar> <Megumi> And - it's naked to the human eye
<Xantop> <Cole> I know you have no idea now...but theoretically could these be...closed?
<Seraphna> Angel> And those are some weak eyes.
<Dias`> <Id> In theory, yes. If something is opened it should be able to be closed.
<DeathStar> <Cran> That's what we need to find out. If someone walked through one of the rips and was aged rapidly forward, it could be a bad - sad, opening up in their bed at night
<DeathStar> *Stacey groans, and rubs her face* I hate this job sometimes
<Dias`> <Id> We could send probes through, but there's a risk of the damage that may cause
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> Want me to put up tiny little signs up everywhere?
<Seraphna> Angel> This is why I gave up on trying to rule the Galaxy. Too stressful.
<DeathStar> <Stacey> I'll talk to Chief of Police here and have him put his best officers on the case to monitor -- wait, how far does these tears go?
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Everywhere
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Higher Planes
<DeathStar> Song 1: Higher Planes
<DeathStar> *Taiga leans back on the PAX meeting room chair, waving her hand as she eyes everyone* Look, we have to come to an agreement - last time we used Yggdrasil and Dias to come up here.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> How do we want to try to risk it this time. If we use this Xevil portal, who knows how much damage it could do to us
<Seraphna> Jaime> So not a good path.
<Dias`> *Dias sits on his chair* Punching us back down won't be without it's risks either.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> not exactly a good choice between them
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... how annoying."
<DeathStar> *Taiga drums her fingers* We can ask permission to use their tree. Or risk using it
<Dias`> <Chad> Well, it's the only two viable options we have currently. The problems is dealing with the aftermath.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets just get the hell out of here.
<Seraphna> Jaime> So how do the denizens of this plane keep going to ours?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... how did they send agents to our reality?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If I recall in Xanatos' field reaport
<Dias`> *Chad glances at Taiga* The few times they're doing it, is on a person to person basis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Their Dias sent will into people
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Or threw Fate down and nearly killed her
<Xantop> <Xan> If they threw us down would it nearly kill us?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Sounds like no matter what path we take we need to brace for damage.
<DeathStar> *Taiga spins in her chair, looking out of it*
<DeathStar> *humming something under her breath*
<DeathStar> *X leans over to Dias* <X> I think she has lost her mind
<Seraphna> **Si leans over to her**
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty tilts her head
<Dias`> <Chad> And what of the PAX? And the rest of the ships here?
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Well... this is waaaaaaay out of my field of expertise."
<Dias`> <Dias> It's why I don't do the thinking, X. *He smiles at her*
<Seraphna> Jaime> We have to take them regardless. So many people came with us.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We're so fucked, oh we're so fucked....I just want to get home.... but we're so fucked.
<Dias`> <Chad> Right, so unless this Plane has a method to send something this big down, we're going to have to do it the hard way and deal with the consequences.
<Seraphna> Si> Love, I know you can think of something.
<DeathStar> *Ren drums her fingers*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do we know where they took Fate after our last conversation?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...there has to be a trick to it that we aren't seeing..." 8glances aside* "...there is also the issue of their Taiga being sitll at large."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The girls are still on good terms with her
<Dias`> <Chad> And from what I can figure out, it's either dealing with a tear that we'll make bigger. Or the PAX coming back to our plane after hurtling downwards with Dias taking the brunt of it all.
<Seraphna> Jaime> She seems to escape when she wants to.
<Xantop> <Xan> If time here is faster we can take the time to figure this out and do it right, can't we?
<Xantop> 6* Kane silently looks over the readings they have from the hole that Xevil made.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Alright
<Seraphna> Angela> We did essentially punch a hole upward. What if we took it easy going back?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... did Xevil go back the way he came?"
<Xantop> <Simon> When ships such as this go through hyperspace, how are they protected? Is that the shielding?
<Dias`> <Dias> That'll take time and I'll need to gather my strength each time.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Xevil had some kind of metal that let him slip through.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Here's what we know - Xevil ripped a hole all the way up here through our layer to this layer. We'd still need to do some work to get back down either way
<Seraphna> Jaime> He developed it in the lab we thought destroyed.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Just because he ripped a hole, doesn't mean we can fall, we'd have to push our way through said hole, and it'd be a rougher journey.
<Dias`> <Chad> I've been looking in that, and haven't come up with anything like it here their database
<Seraphna> Jaime> The other Chad knows what it is, I believe.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> As for hyperspace, yes, we surround ourselves with a type of frequency shield to try to counter act hyperspace itself for as long as it can manage to stop it from burning a ship alive/destroy it
<Seraphna> Si> So we need a super shield?
<Dias`> <Chad> We can ask, if he's like me it's probably protected information.
<DeathStar> <Ren> That guy didn't seem like he wanted to help our reality anymore
<DeathStar> <Ren> Infact, he seemed like he wanted us out
<Dias`> *Chad nods to Ren* We could use that to try and force him to help us.
<Xantop> <Simon> I am unsure of the power required but if we could isolate the energy that would be enacted upon us...we could adjust shield polarity to protect against the trip back?
<Xantop> <Kane> Buw how do we close the hole we would leave behind?
<Dias`> *Chad looks at Kane* That's the other problem with going that route.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yeah… if he wants us gone it still makes no sense not to help us if we could potentially damage this plane.
<DeathStar> *Erevis motions* Then why not contact him
<Dias`> <Chad> Because of the knowledge we could gain from it.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Let’s do that.
<DeathStar> *Taiga hangs off the table*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Assuming they want us to damage their reality is a weird one.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... is ti possible to try going sideways? That is, finding easier paths through adjacent realities rather than going down in a straight line."
<Dias`> <Dias> I could try closing the tear, but I've never done something like that.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> God, no
<DeathStar> *Taiga sits up*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Do not do that
<Dias`> <Chad> We'd potentially get lost
<DeathStar> *Erevis slides a comm at Jaime*
<Seraphna> Angela> I’m not sure you can unpunch something.
<Seraphna> **Jaime contacts High Chad**
<DeathStar> *another Chad's face appears above the table, like Emperor Palpatine.*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... just an outside-the-box thought if nothign else pans out."
<DeathStar> *for once, he looks annoyed, but not about them*
<Dias`> <Dias> I do all the time. How do you think I jump across vast distances?
<Seraphna> Jaime> We are hoping you would like to help us return to our reality with minimum damage for all involved.
<DeathStar> <High Chad> ... You cannot manage to return home on your own?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Manage, yes. Manage without doing damage? Possibly not.
<DeathStar> *he looks at each of them, making a sound* What do you need?
<Seraphna> Jaime> It would seem mutually beneficial if you could help us go back with minimal tearing.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Give us access to your tree. *She mumbles; earning a look from Chad, as he studies her hard for something* <High Chad> That the only path down for you?
<Seraphna> Jaime> It is the most direct one without risk of losses.
<Xantop> <Xan> If we try to use this hole that the Xevil made then it could cause more issues.
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Honestly, no. But how we got up here was kinda... brute. And Xevil... well, do you trust ANYTHING with him?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> We believe it best not to trouble you further if we can help it.
<DeathStar> <High Chad> ... since more than one of you have suggested it besides her, I will trust she is not under the influence
<DeathStar> <High Chad> Or the influence
<DeathStar> *Taiga blinks and slumps on the table, eyeing him*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... influence?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I take offense
<Dias`> <Dias> There big bag guy.
<Seraphna> Si> Ummm… is her Taiga or Fate?
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "I mean, yeah, I understand your concern. If you have other suggestions for what to do, we're definitely open. This is just our best idea so far."
<DeathStar> <High Chad> We still have not found our Taiga. *He glances at Kitty* Interesting. Fate will stay here; she will not being joining you on any more adventures
<DeathStar> <High Chad> I will open the tree and you can use it. But it will only be opened a limited time.
<DeathStar> <High Chad> Anything else?
<Seraphna> **Si hmms and pokes Taiga’s temples, feeling their bond** Pretty sure this one is ours…
<Xantop> <Xan> Tell us how much you'll miss us.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I suppose we had best recall all of our ships to the PAX."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> All ours is in the hanger
<DeathStar> <High Chad> Goodbye. *he cuts transmission*
<Dias`> <Dias> Aww and here I wanted to come crash landing back on our plane in a ball of fire and glory.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think he suspects our Taiga and Kitty for some reason
<DeathStar> <X> Maybe another day, Dias
<Seraphna> Si> Yep. My Taiga. My name is where I secretly tattooed it on her.
<DeathStar> <X> I don't want to see Kitty roasted
<DeathStar> *Taiga narrows eyes*
<Dias`> *Chad taps his arm a bit* Taiga, You scan the ship for signs of their Taiga lately?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> On my head?
<Dias`> <Dias> I guess next time. *he sighs sadly*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "You feeling okay Taiga? You DO seem out of it."
<Seraphna> Si> Nope.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I mean, CHIP should be scanning constantly for intruders. *she taps her comm* Adeline, have you detected another bitch like me?
<Seraphna> Jaime> We are all accounted for yes?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Taiga is clearly overworked."
<DeathStar> *Adeline is quiet a moment* Hm. Maybe that would explain a few things
<Dias`> <Chad> Well the only down side is she probably found a way to circumvent it if she did choose to hide here. *He waves his hand dismissively* Just a passing though.
<Seraphna> Si> I’m gonna make her nap later.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Something odd darling?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Taiga had an error check in to see Kitty a few hours back, but that was about it.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> you did?
<Xantop> <Xan> What is an error check in?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "An error check in?"
<Seraphna> **Kaelan checks her tails for anything amiss, nodding after pulling out cake**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> With the ship so empty right now outside those willing to make the trip and those helping run the ships, I have check in stations here and there and on the rooms. Kitty's room got an error check in a few hours back
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty presses her lips thin
<DeathStar> *Taiga rolls her head back, hinking to both Nico and the error* I can't recall doing either - I haven't been sleeping much lately
<Dias`> <Chad> Let's at least prepare head to the tree. I don't want to over stay their Chad's helping.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> not sure if I like that
<MobileAri> * Nicolette rubs her head. "Shouldn't an error be like... a full alert, when we're worried about intruders?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well, let’s prep to go while we check out the obvious stow away attempt. I mean mysterious error.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "In that case... someone should check Kitty's room, just in case."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Well no alert went off. Whoever it was didn't press their luck or got the attempt right on try 2
<Chaintan> <Kitty> alright, and lets try and get Taiga some recuperative rest
<DeathStar> <Taiga> After we reach home
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Si, take her arms
<Xantop> <Xan> Give her some sedative if you must, she's really out of it.
<Seraphna> Si> I feel like I’d know. **she blinks and wraps around Taiga**
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Taiga, youre running on fumes...and thats not going to get us back any sooner
<DeathStar> <Taiga> H-Hey, yo useriously plan to make the jump back without me?
<DeathStar> *Taiga flails and falls to the floor*
<DeathStar> <Ren> It seems so
<Seraphna> Si> There’d one option.
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty takes her legs
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will head to the bridge. Have fun with her
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Nyaaaaaaa
<Dias`> *Dias perks up* So you think there's a stow away?
<Seraphna> **Si muses** I could take on your fatigue for now.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Taiga, we do have Adeline here. I'm certain she is capable of the intellectual exercises needed."
<DeathStar> <X> You - up onto the top of the ship.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> we'll do what X always did when I was fussy. The blanket burrito
<DeathStar> <X> You got a job to do, Dias
<DeathStar> *X drags Dias away*
<Dias`> <Dias> ....Fine. *He get's pulled away*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "If it's a stowaway, I wouldn't worry actually... as long as it's not a saboteur."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *sulks* I am an adult. Boooooo
<Seraphna> Si> Wait we get to snuggle her to snoozeville?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "In the meantime... I shall poke about, looking for signs of an interloper."
<Dias`> <Chad> Do we really want another Higher Plane being running around our plane? *He looks at Nicollete*
<DeathStar> <Selena> I will join you, Noire
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I’ll help scout the ship.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> if thats whats gonna work on her, then yeah we kinda have to Si
<DeathStar> <Selena> I have little to do anyway
<DeathStar> *Taiga makes puffing cheek faces at them*
<DeathStar> *Ren slides past them*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> also, Noire, when you find out whose stowing away as me, give them a good sock in the head
<Seraphna> **Si gives her a kiss**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Come on then... you too KAelan..." *starts walking*
<DeathStar> -Time Hop-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> Song 2: Problems
<DeathStar> *the PAX has situated itself at their Yggdrasil; while Selena, Cloe, and others look for their stoway, Erevis stands on the bridge, with X and Dias on the top of the PAX*
<DeathStar> <Ren> So, how do we want to make the jump with us being down one Taiga?
<Dias`> *Chad stands on the bridge, looking over a terminal*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well we have an Adeline.
<DeathStar> *Adeline leans back in her seat, going over everything they did last time*
<Dias`> <Dias> It's nice having someone keeping me upright, X. *looks out at the tree*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Right
<DeathStar> <X> Try not to punch too hard when it's time
<DeathStar> *Cloé stands in front of Kitty's door* Um, so the stowaway might be inside here?
<Seraphna> **Sephie looks over the data too, musing**
<DeathStar> <Selena> I wonder what the other Kitty might looki like
<Dias`> <Dias> Asking me to show restraint. *he chuckels at that*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> *comms Dias* Are you ready?
<DeathStar> *Erevis crosses arms, a troubled look on her face*
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Should we ask for a mugshot?"
<Xantop> <Xan> Credit for you throughts? 6* He glances ar Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Selena> I wonder if this Kitty has like a pirate face, or are they an alagamation Kitty
<Dias`> *Dias hops slightly and he takes a deep breathe and lets it out, a fierce heat eminating from him that begins to envelop the ship* <Dias> I think so.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I just have a bad feeling
<Dias`> <Chad> I'd like to hear it before we make a mistake we regret
<DeathStar> *Ao opens the Kitty door for those down there*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Had that this whole time. And I’m not a precog anymore.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This entire mission so far has been going too well. But I have never been a precog to my knowledge. But it just feels like this cannot be going as smoothly as it is
<Dias`> <Chad> I won't argue that everything's been just...off since we got here.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But we only have a few more minutes window before their Chad will raise the defenses up o nthe tree again
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Ok, Cloe. I'm going to override the lock."
<Dias`> <Chad> He did agree to easily to let us use their tree.
<Xantop> <Xan> I'm afraid we don't have much choice...we'll just deal with things as they happen, like we always have.
<DeathStar> <Cloe> This is going to be scary~
<Seraphna> Jaime> He was going to say no until a few of us suggested it. Which means he’s hiding problems here.
<Jackieness> <Bella> *tries to hack Kitty's door*
<Dias`> <Chad> I don't doubt that he wants us out of here before we snoop to much and remove the veil they have carefully placed
<DeathStar> *The door slowly creaks open, revealing a light on in the corner, and something under the sheets*
<DeathStar> <Adeline on comm> *powers up the hyperspace jump systems*
<DeathStar> <Selena> It seems someone is in Kitty's room
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Oh nice and creepy. *£has tendrils pull the sheets**
<DeathStar> *pillows have been bunched up to look like someone is sleeping; a noise is heard in the bathroom*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well, I can't fault Kaelan for dispatching with ceremony."
<Jackieness> <Bella> "Shhh..." *ninja moves toward the bathroom*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> We only have a few minutes.
<DeathStar> *Cloe and Selena follow*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan turns on the lights**
<DeathStar> *Adeline starts the minute countdown*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Get ready Dias.
<Dias`> <Dias> Roger Roger.
<Jackieness> <Bella> *moves to the bathroom door and prepares to open it... counting down from 3 with her figners*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Punch as neatly as you have ever punched before.
<DeathStar> *Cloe holds a bat up*
<DeathStar> *the ship jumps at that moment; and the energy begins to flow through Dias as a portal opens, Yggdrasil's energy going through the PAX*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Jumping!
<Seraphna> **Kaelan opens the door**
<DeathStar> *the ship jerks*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Hold steady old girl…
<Dias`> *Chad glances over the data as it comes in*
<DeathStar> *They see a fox that looks like Taiga going through the bathroom vent*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan tries to grab her feet with tendrils**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *lashes out with tendrils to try to catch the fox*
<DeathStar> *The fox squeals*
<Xantop> 6* Xan leans forward, holding onto a railing.
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "H-hey! Don't hurt her. This isn't a hunting party."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> My tendrils don’t hurt the molest at most.
<DeathStar> *The PAX begins to descend, but it seems to be moving faster downward then it went upward*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *comm* "Bridge, we found a Taiga in Kitty's apartment trying to escape through the vents."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Prepare to punch again Dias!
<Seraphna> Jaime> We’re going faster?
<Dias`> *Dias crackles with energy as he prepares*
<Dias`> <Chad> We're falling in theory, so yes.
<DeathStar> *Erevis turns her head* Another Taiga?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Punch
<Seraphna> Jaime> Si and Kitty are with ours.
<Dias`> *Dias swings his fist outwards*
<Dias`> <Chad> Seem's my hunch may have been right.
<DeathStar> *The PAX begins to accelerate faster. The calculations come back faster* <Adeline> .. Punch!
<Seraphna> Sephie> Whee.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Come on, let's take her into custody then."
<Dias`> *Dias swings his fist again*
<DeathStar> *The fox flails, trying to escape as the PAX shakes each punch*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan pulls her over and pulls out some fuzzy cuffs**
<DeathStar> Song 3: Fatal Issue
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Also Kaelan, can you not use the word 'molest' in this context? It invokes negative stereotypes."
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Taiga, just come out here and just talk, okay?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You’re no fun.
<DeathStar> *suddenly, Dias would feel imbalance on the top of the ship, or maybe it was a push, or maybe it was the speed, but his stance is broken on top as they're speeding forward to the next check point* <Adeline> Punch! Now! Now!
<Xantop> <Xan> Should've known she'd stowaway here.
<Xantop> <Marcus> Fuck something's wrong.
<Seraphna> **Sephie starts calculating to compensate**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hold on.
<Dias`> *Dias stumbles a bit as he shifts his feet to adjust his balance. His eyes dart frantically and he tries to adjust his aim to compensate* Punch or no?!
<DeathStar> *the ship literally seems to smash through the barrier and begins to spin*
<DeathStar> *alarms going off*
<Seraphna> **Jaime grips the throne**
<Jackieness> <Bella> "We should probbaly get her to the br-CRAP!"
<MobileAri> * Nicolette grabs the door to keep from falling over.
<Dias`> *Chad grabs on to his chair as he tries to hold himself*
<DeathStar> *Taiga tries to ecape**
<DeathStar> *Adeline winces* Um, one moment one moment
<Seraphna> **Kaelan uses tendrils to steady herself and Truth tackles Taiga**
<Seraphna> Jaime> Breathe, you two got this.
<DeathStar> *Tries to send in the recalculated punch course to Dias - Prepare yourself*
<Dias`> *Dias slides a bit again, grabbing on to the tether he has on him as he looks over at X to make sure she's good*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *uses her own tendrils to catch and steady the others* "...did that fool mess up?!"

<MobileAri> * Nicolette gets fed up with struggle, and casts a wind spell to push the fox back out of the vent before someone gets hurt.
<DeathStar> *the PAX recourses itself and manages ot pass the checkpoint with minimal damage as the Taiga is caught and sulks*
<Xantop> <Kane> ...I'm seeing stability.
<DeathStar> *X seems to have rippled herself in a spider like position*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We're hurtling to the last check point be ready

<Seraphna> **Jaime helps by helping the ship power through from the throne**
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Look. It's one thing to stow away, it's another to cause trouble."
<DeathStar> *the fox looks shaken and ill*
<Jackieness> <Bella> "...as I was saying, let's take her to the brig."
<DeathStar> *they smash through the barrier and arrive back in the Prime Universe*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You were hoping to get away from your plane. I assume to escape your peers?
<Xantop> 6* Kane immediately runs a scan to see if they left any damage in their wake.
<DeathStar> *but as they do so, Dias would feel danger*
<MobileAri> * Nicolette sighs and pets the fox, trying to calm her down.
<DeathStar> Song 4: Rearing it's Head
<Dias`> *Dias suddenly starts peering around* Something's coming.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Let’s get scans and updates.
<Xantop> 6* Xan pulls up sensors.
<DeathStar> *the PAX floats there, having damager all over, but it's surprising in one piece as sectors shut off*
<Dias`> *The heat from his body suddenly leaves the ship and erupts upwards towards where he feels danger*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmmm...something is wrong."
<DeathStar> *X approaches Dias slowly, trying to touch him*
<Dias`> <Chad> The ship appears to be safe.
<Seraphna> **Sephie closes her eyes, then starts working on systems**
<DeathStar> *Adeline looks annoyed as she checks the damaged sectors*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Well, that was certainly rougher than Taiga said it would be
<Dias`> <Dias> X, somethings coming. *He taps his comm* I'm sending something dangerous guys.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Looks like we’ll be repairing her again. I think someone or something nudged us out of alignment.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Can we plot a course back home to Megumi and Ama and the children?
<DeathStar> *X grabs onto Dias and Dias would feel something trying to enter him*
<Seraphna> **Sephie nods and starts figuring out the course**
<DeathStar> *the High Taiga poofs bcak into her normal human form, after being calmed down*
<Xantop> <Xan> Hopefully these sectors out are just like fried capacitors or something.
<DeathStar> <High Taiga> Who taught you people how to fly?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Thankfully also not many people are on the PAX
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...excuse me?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> The other you was too exhausted to guide us back.
<DeathStar> <High Taiga> You all pulled my tail, then shook my terribly
<DeathStar> <High Taiga> And here I thought I could hide in my girl's room
<Dias`> *Dias suddenly locks eyes on X, tensing up, as he instinctually drops one intent and shifts it to his dangerous one aiming to fight it off*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmm...and why exactly are you here?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You helped fuck our reality then stowed away.
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "You know our options were limited when you were in a vent like that." She sighs, "Can we be civil from now on?"
<Dias`> <Dias> Who are you and where's my X?
<DeathStar> <High Taiga> You know what jail is like in our place? I just was going to hang out with your Kitty for a bit
<DeathStar> *X lets go, seeing Dias resist and steps back. Then seems displeased and sinks into a ripple*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "While not diplomatic, Kaelan is right. You did conspire agaisnt our home reality."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Ah, we’ll help now and we’ll call things even. Since we’re not going back.
<Seraphna> **well
<Dias`> *Dias snaps to grab on but is stopped by his tether. He quickly grabs it and unhooks it, making a mad dash for the hatch* <Comm> Is my comm broken? Does no one listen?!
<Seraphna> Jaime> We hear.
<Xantop> <Xan> *C* We don't see anything on sensors, Dias.
<Seraphna> Jaime> CHIP, locate X. Also boarding security please.
<Dias`> <DiasComm> Something came after us and it's in X now. *He grabs the hatch, quickly opening it and pulling himself in and sealing it afterwards*
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Uh, X is no logner near the ship
<DeathStar> <CHIP> As in ... she's left this area of spae
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... What?
<Seraphna> Jaime> …I think the High Plane predator came with us.
<DeathStar> Song 5: Aftermath
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Risokyo
<DeathStar> *The PAX hovers over the Suisen capital*
* Alicia has joined #TAW-Session700
<DeathStar> *the Aquarius and the Templar Capital now beside it*
<Seraphna> Jaime> It’ll be a while till we can take off again once we land.
<DeathStar> *Ren eyes the damage to the PAX* Taiga is going to be pissed
<Xantop> <Xan> Chad, what information did we take from them about whatever this threat was that they thought they wiped out?
<DeathStar> *Cran crosses his arms, present with Stacey and Tsukiyomi*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan feeds Tsuki a snack**
<Dias`> *Chad taps his datapad, putting it up on the screen* Part of me wonders if this wasn't their plan.
<DeathStar> *Erevis runs her hands along the meeting room, peering up at the PAX*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Dump their copy monster on us?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm... at leats she won't beat herself over it as I doubt her state of wakefulness would have changed a thing, now that we have an inkling of what hit us."
<Xantop> <Marcus> Wouldn't put it past them. Where's that Taiga, did she bring it in her?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And where is their Taiga? The brig?
<Dias`> <Dias> No, it came from above as we were dropping down.
<Seraphna> Jaime> It was in X.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Which begs the question... when did it jump ino X?"
<Xantop> <Simon> As we were dropping down you sensed it?
<DeathStar> *Selena sips some tea, steadying herself while Cloé eats cookies*
<Seraphna> Jaime> I assume before we left. They did say it seeks strong targets and she is quite powerful.
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "I wonder why it jumped down..."
<Dias`> <Dias> Something threw us off kilter a bit part way down.
<Dias`> <Chad> Hmmm. It's possible it was what did it and it hit X on the way down.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Perhaps the time distortions here was already attracting it?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Perhaps it had another host that jumped down and then jumped to X after impac."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Let’s get High Taiga’s advice here.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Kitty and Hess aren't going to be happy that their family has an unstoppable monster in her
<DeathStar> <Ren> Didn't they say nothing could rip it out?
<Xantop> <Xan> That's what they said.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Nothing they tried.
<Dias`> <Dias> It tried to jump in to me when she touched me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Did it now?
<Seraphna> Jaime> We’ll try to save her.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Bella is standing guard outside the brig where we are holding our new Taiga."
<Xantop> <Marcus> ...and it didn't get into you...how?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So it willingly tried to move to you
<Dias`> *Dias taps his foot, looking impatient.* Well...I don't know, she touched me, I felt something weird and my instinct kicked in.
<Xantop> <Simon> I am sure they tried, but that makes me consider ways we could trap this being.
<Seraphna> Angela> Ten to one the dork just willed it off him. It’s what he does..
<Dias`> <Dias> I shouldn't have stopped it
<DeathStar> <Ren> It's what Fate trained him to do
<Xantop> <Kane> If you could think hard about this and understand what you did to repel it...we could perhaps replicate and protect others.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... perhaps Fate's training of Dias has helped out afterall."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Right? To resist it
<DeathStar> *Erevis beeps Bella to bring the other Taiga to them*
<DeathStar> *Taiga begins to crawl in, tied up, a datapad glued ot her face*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *opens Taiga's cell* "Your public awaits."
<Xantop> <Xan> Please tell me this isn't our Taiga.
<Seraphna> **Si picks her up**
<Seraphna> Si> I’m doubling the Chanomile next time.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The ride down woke me up. So I been looking into the prolem. Hey no! No! I got to help out! Nooo
<DeathStar> *she wiggles to try to escape*
<DeathStar> *the other Taiga primly walks out and heads for the team*
<Jackieness> <Bella> *escorts High Taiga to the meeting room*
<Seraphna> **Si sighs and touches Taiga’s head, then collapses leaving Taiga refreshed**
<Dias`> *Chad rubs his face a bit*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... Okay then.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl walks in late*
<DeathStar> *with Mem and Chii*
<Sara> * Cherie feeds Cloé cookies
<Seraphna> Angela> Bit of a variation on my talents. **sighs following them in**
<Xantop> <Kane> What have you discovered, Taiga?
<DeathStar> *Cloé noms happily*
<DeathStar> <Ren> We sure that wasn't important Si?
<Seraphna> **Si is out cold having given Taiga her energy**
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty sighs, as Si crumbles
<DeathStar> *Taiga blinks and wiggles, still tied up, to the table. The High Taiga stares at them all* <High Taiga> ...
<Seraphna> **Angela gets Si comfy and unties Taiga**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Can we get started?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Anyway, first off. I'll break down the developments as we go along
<Seraphna> Jaime> Indeed.
<Dias`> *Chad looks at High Taiga* Was this one of your hero's plans? *He studies her*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> First - our Yggdrasil has healed itself enough that it looks like the roads that belong to Kaori and Victoire are healing - the pathways
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I say in a few decades, their reality powers might start restoring themselves
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I know it's not on the level of ..... Certain beings above, but it's a start
<DeathStar> <X> The X problem
<DeathStar> <Taiga
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I see one of two issues with this
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If was their monster from above, then that means we might still have our own version. And that would mean if it met up with it's counter point here, it could be disasterous
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Assuming they were not just saying that to justify their actions."
<Xantop> <Xan> Well I hadn't considered that and now I'm catastrophizing.
<Seraphna> Jaime> If they are territorial and fight each other that would be nice. So it won’t happen.
<Dias`> <Chad> Agreed. And in theory it most likely is unless we can prove otherwise
<Xantop> <Marcus> Dias will teach us how to kill it then we'll go do that and everything will be fine.
<DeathStar> <Cran> Hm. If you don't want to kill X, and this thing goes after the strongest person and jumps into their body, I see a few options
<Dias`> <Dias> Then I'll fight both.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Either way... assuming our reality manifests such an entity is merely speculation. What is certainly a fact is that *their* creature has followed us."
<Dias`> *Dias looks at Cran*
<DeathStar> <Cran> Find someone it would wish to occupy and continually tempt them with the person until we find a solution
<Sara> <Kaori> ...Are you going to end up using me as bait again
<DeathStar> <Cran> And our current problem with the time tears - we could try to use them to get rid of the monster. But it would mean losing the person through time perhaps.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Dias was its obvious target.
<DeathStar> *Ren blinks and looks at Kaori*
<DeathStar> *Erevis opens and closes her mouth*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You been lifting weights?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "It depends upon how it judges strength."
<Sara> * Kaori smirks
<Seraphna> Jaime> Yes it might not even consider reality power. Conceptually.
<DeathStar> <Cran> One should not joke easily - Kaori might be a delicious target
<Seraphna> Jaime> If it did get her we’d be screwed.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Im not sure Im comfortable with that description Cran
<DeathStar> <High Taiga> You all are taking this more calmly...
<Dias`> <Dias> Simple enough. I draw it out in a game of cat and mouse. You guys find a way to trap it or a way for me to beat it.
<DeathStar> *she scrubs at her white hair*
<Dias`> <Dias> Worse case, I draw it in to me and throw myself in on of those tears you talk about.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We could try to freeze X
<Seraphna> Jaime> Panicking won’t get us anywhere and we’re a little too used to facing endgame monsters.
<Xantop> <Xan> That's a big sacrifice Dias.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks at High Taiga* "We had warning from your reality, so we at least have an idea of what we are dealing with."
<Dias`> <Dias> I don't see anyone else stepping up to take it.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> What we need though is some device to detect the creature other than Dias' senses. All of you on the PAX felt nothing?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh, I'm so sorry I'm not tasty enough."
<Xantop> <Kane> Chip do you continually scan us or have you stopped? I am curious if we have any biometrics on X before she left.
<Seraphna> Jaime> …We did feel something.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mom you had a bad feeling.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I did. Maybe I felt it
<Dias`> <Chad> ...The problem with that is if Dias knows how to fight it off, and he's playing cat and mouse, he can't try to train others on how to fight it off.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I am always scanning you, babies
<Xantop> <Kane> Could you send X's data to me?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The curious thing is I wouldn't even rank X among the strongest of the strongest - no offense, Dias
<Jackieness> <Noire> *eyes High Taiga* "Tell me... no... tell us... everything you know about this thing."
<Seraphna> Angela> How much do you scan AIRYM, CHIP?
<Dias`> *Chad looks at High Taiga* Do you have any way of tracking it?
<Xantop> <Xan> Actually pause. How about you tell us why you've been tormenting us, did the other higher beings know anything about it, and did you know this being was still alive in your world?
<Xantop> 6* Xan turns to High Plan Taiga.
<DeathStar> <High Taiga> It has no form. Nothing you can really see. If it lets you see it, it's like a gas. Tracking it is near impossible - usually it pops up to some sensors when it begins to use abilities, wants to attack, goes for fighters, and so on
<DeathStar> <High Taiga> Everyone else thought it was dead. *she eyes her nails* I ... might have thought otherwise. I mean, you don't kill this thing. Even if the legends say Dias killed it by destroying himself, the legends brought us all back as gods practically in that reality. It'd be with us then. But... get this, we were all pacifist and boring.
<DeathStar> <High Taiga> Not the ideal setting anymore
<Dias`> <Chad> Of course not.
<Seraphna> Jaime> I had thought that was some kind of defense against it to be honest.
<DeathStar> <High Taiga> Maybe a little. I did spread us out to deter it a little. But it going to you all was not a plan
<DeathStar> <High Taiga> Who'd want to see that thing again
<Seraphna> Jaime> Guess we have to kill it.
<DeathStar> <High Taiga> I'd use what time you have left to be merry and fuck instead.
<Dias`> <Chad> But you and your Dias planned to make our Dias strong enough to fight it so clearly you thought about seeing it again.
<DeathStar> <High Taiga> Our plan? Hah. That was all Fate.
<DeathStar> <High Taiga> You'd have to ask what was going on in her head
<Dias`> *Chad closes his eyes as he thinks*
<Seraphna> Jaime> **muses** We may have to consult her if she comes back. Something tells me if you couldn’t stop her last time this time will be no different.
<Xantop> <Xan> She was forced to remain behind.
<DeathStar> <High Taiga> Well, our Chad is not going to let her our of his sight. Sorry. It's why I ran
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... we could try something to buy Dias some time to train... perviously, mother set up a room with a time dilation effect."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mmm, hope he wasn’t just annoyed about you then.
<Dias`> <Chad> Erevis, we should put a list together of strong fighters. Try to track them down and keep eyes on if X approaches them.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. I'll get on that
<DeathStar> *Erevis
<Seraphna> Angela> Most of us are here.
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> It is true
<DeathStar> <Tsukiyomi> You all are a hot spot
<DeathStar> <Ren> Um
<DeathStar> <Ren> This may be stupid
<Xantop> <Marcus> It's probably lurking around even now.
<DeathStar> Song 6: Aftermath 2
<Dias`> <Chad> But there are plenty that aren't here.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Who is up on the PAX right now monitoring it? <Erevis> I believe Adeline is - why?
<Seraphna> Jaime> A predator would go after stragglers first.
<Xantop> <Xan> ...
<Jackieness> <Noire> "CHIP is watching the bridge."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So... wait, what is the things definition of strength?"
<Seraphna> Jaime> <Are things well dear?>
<Dias`> <Chad> It would appear those that can fight.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> <One moment>
<DeathStar> <Adeline> <Getting something on the sensors>
<Seraphna> Jaime> Adeline has something on the sensors.
<Xantop> <Xan> That's bad right?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "By what definition of fight, though?"
<Chaintan> <Kitty> its not exactly good
<DeathStar> *Erevis closes her eyes* Selena - Nicolette - Simon
<Seraphna> **Sephie frowns on the bridge, focusing a bit into the future**
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You may wish to take the Aquarius and return to your reality. What with time tears occurring and this monster hunting strong opponents, it may be time for you to leave.
<Xantop> <Kane> Lorelei's children are strong. Plus any straggling Wind or anyone like that.
<Xantop> <Simon> ... 6* He glances at Selena.
<Dias`> *Chad rubs his temple a bit at Charlotte's line of question and looks at the Simon and Nicoleete and Selena* Plus you can monitor for it at your world incase it tries to search that way
<DeathStar> *Selena glances at Simon* We were told that we might could speak to te Cleaners and get Chronos. We should not give up entirely.
<DeathStar> <Selena> What do you think?
<Dias`> <Chad> That wouldn't hurt to go down that venue for this tears
<Xantop> <Simon> I agree. Plus I worry that using the portal could actually open the way for it to escape into our world.
<DeathStar> <Selena> Okay. *She looks at Nicolette* Do you want to come with us on the Aquarius or help out here?
<Seraphna> **Sephie grabs her mother and sends a warning that X is near**
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "I'll come with you. I'm not as much of a fighter as I used to be."
<Seraphna> Jaime> We have trouble.
<DeathStar> *Adeline taps her comm* It seems we have an intruder on the PAX and they are hiding themselves
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I am not picking them up on anywhere
<DeathStar> *Adeline eyes engine problems*
<Seraphna> Sephie> I saw it happen. She came for Mom.
<Xantop> <Marcus> So Dias goes up there to run it off?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...what more can happen?"
<DeathStar> Song 7: Interlude
<Seraphna> Jaime> With help.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright, it looks like we need to go up to the PAX - though some of us should stay down here.
<DeathStar> *she eyes Kaori and Kitty*
<Seraphna> Jaime> They may be going for the Engines too.
<Sara> * Kaori puffs cheeks
<Xantop> <Xan> IF X can teleport whole systems aways, being separate at all is a risk.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You sure you want to risk coming?
<Dias`> <Chad> But why...
<Dias`> <Dias> I'm going ahead. *He stands up*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It does seem out of character for a powerful monster to go for engines
<Seraphna> Jaime> …Because we have a way to detect it.
<DeathStar> <High Taiga> It's doing it to lure you all into a trap
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Up to you Kaori, where you go Ill do the other
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hess will be pissed if you get hurt
<Sara> <Kaori> Fine, fine...
<DeathStar> <Ren> But
<DeathStar> R<en> I'll back you up
<Seraphna> **Jaime frowns** I will send ships to prepare you for tractor the PAX of the engines fail.
<Seraphna> **prepare to
<DeathStar> *Adeline comms* I'm heading for engineer
<Seraphna> Sephie> Not without me!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Alright, I will teleport us to the PAX
<Xantop> <Xan> Why are people wanting to do stuff alone. Let's all group up in a big area and work on this all together.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Everyone ready?
<Seraphna> **Sammael grabs people who want to teleport to engineering**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...let's go then."
<DeathStar> *Erevis pulls out another Rune Blade, looking a lot like Jaime's*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Group up on me
<Seraphna> Jaime> **starts getting things secure here**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm going for engineering."
<Seraphna> **Kaelan joins her**
<Seraphna> **Angela gets up to join too**
<Dias`> *Dias moves to join and Chad reluctlantly gets up and joins*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves over to Erevis*
<Seraphna> **Jaime starts to contact a set of people, having thought of something**
<DeathStar> *Ren, Cheryl (with Mem and Chii) join her, down below, John, Tsukiyomi, etc stay behind*
<DeathStar> *Erevis warps them up to the bridge where Adeline is waiting after Xan chided her*
<Seraphna> **Sephie is holding weapons and has a helmet on**
<DeathStar> *the ship then tries to foam them*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Sorry, one moment. *Turns it off so they aren't trapped* I have teleport systems on lock down
<Seraphna> **Sephie TKs the foam away**
<Dias`> <Dias> Which way?
<Seraphna> Sephie> She seems to be able to get around security.
<Xantop> <Xan> Engineering.
<Seraphna> **Jaime sends a security squad up next to guard the bridge**
<Alicia> <CHarlotte> "No problem, I understand."
<Dias`> <Dias> There a clear path there? *He stretches his shoulders*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Not really
<Xantop> <Marcus> Yeah follow me.
<Xantop> <Marcus> OH you meant to...no we gotta go down a lift.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Come on - lets go
<Xantop> <Xan> CHIP, where are our hyperspace users? Drasek and Sammael.
<DeathStar> *they light up on the maps*
<DeathStar> *Erevis remains on the bridge*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will see what I can do about navigation
<Xantop> 6* Xan reaches out and comms everyone to report to the bridge for now.
<Dias`> <Chad> Let's get moving then.
<Seraphna> **Sammael pops in with a repair team**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *heads on with the group*
<Xantop> 6* Marcus moves after Adeline and Dias.
<DeathStar> *Adeline leads the pathway downward when suddenly the ship shakes*
<Xantop> 6* Kane sits down to work on what data he has from Chip that they got form X.
<Xantop> <Xan> Tch. What now?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... has it tampered with the engines?"
<DeathStar> *Erevis brings up the systems*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... It might be worser
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> We have ships moving in to hold the PAX if it falls. I’d suggest prepping it to land.
<Xantop> 6* Xan glances over her shoulder.
<DeathStar> *She brings up what looks to be damaga to the engines have holes punched through them in areas, but now weapon systems are being messed with* It's leaping around the ship. We need to put the teleport block back on
<Xantop> 6* Kane hmms and tries to isolate the inbetween bits he's seeing on the scans
<Seraphna> **Leyaeh starts putting the blocker back on**
<DeathStar> *Erevis steps out*
<Xantop> <Xan> *C* Redirect to weapons, Adeline, it jumped there.
<Xantop> 6* Xan pauses and follows Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Kaori - you think you could voodoo it out of X?
<DeathStar> *As as they detour toward Weapons*
<Sara> <Kaori> Uhhhh... I could try
<Xantop> 6* Simon pauses and runs off after the others, realizing something that he may be able to help with.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then it might want to eat her
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...this is gettign annoying."
<DeathStar> *The group arrives at the larger weapons area where X is standing*
<Dias`> <Chad> I don't think we want it to have Reality powers.
<DeathStar> Song 9: TBA
<Dias`> *Dias starts moving towards X
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Well... here we all are."
<DeathStar> *X is cutting into weapon systems with minor ripples due to the block and retooling as Dias approaches*
<DeathStar> *seeming to do something*
<DeathStar> <Mem> So how much can we make her bleed?
<Seraphna> **Leyaeh in the bridge cuts power to the weapons there**
<DeathStar> *X turns to look at the team that has arrived, pulling her hand out*
<Dias`> *Dias flinches and leaps upwards out of instinct* Now now, let's stop before someone get's hurt*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *gestures, forming several dark matter blades that float around her*"...just in case."
<Xantop> 6* Simon slides in, panting from his run and immediately starts writing runes, aiming to do his standard energy tracing spell to try and understand X from more of an energy standpoint.
<Seraphna> **Kaelan forms a dark Katana and glows with light and dark**
<Alicia> * Charlotte feels out the details of X's mental condition
<DeathStar> <X> ... *looks at each of them quietly, as if szing them up; Charlotte would pick up what feels like a desire to take on who would be best, even if it means going through each of them. It does a minor ripple, as bes it can form, and leaps for Charlotte, dive kicking at her, then throws a ripple blade at Noire's*
<DeathStar> *Erevis arrives and holds her weapon*
<Alicia> * Charlotte darts away, dipping into shadows to avoid the kick
<Jackieness> <Noire> *brings her blades in to try to deflect the incoming ripple blade*
<Dias`> *Dias shifts his gaze to lock back on her and begins dashing towards her*
<Xantop> <Marcus> What a difficult person to take over...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We do have one advantage
<Xantop> 6* Marcus pulls out a pistol and switches it to stun.
<Xantop> <Marcus> What's that?
<Dias`> <Chad> And wha'ts that?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> This isn't X fighting, is it?
<Dias`> <Chad> True. She's not fighting like her.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "It's not."
<DeathStar> *X begins to experimentally form hundreds of ripples between them and herself as Dias rushes*
<DeathStar> *tiny little ripples*
<DeathStar> *pausing, it begins to spread the ripples out, trying to rip the area apart*
<Seraphna> Angela> Heh… it took X ages to control that body.
<Dias`> *Dias shifts his hands infront of him as he begins to dodge and adjust his route to get to her*
<Dias`> <Chad> Seem's it's got a handle on it. *He begins backing up*
<DeathStar> Up, Down, Left, Right, Down, Left, Right, Down, Left, Right, Down
<Seraphna> **Kaelan starts countering the ripples with foxfire and small hole tears**

<DeathStar> *some of their attacks manage to get through and X stumbles*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *gestures with her hands and then her dark matter blades fly at X, guiding them with ehr movements*
<Xantop> 6* Xan steps in having followed Erevis, and begins scanning while he pulls his pistols out.
<Dias`> *Dias slides up to her, blood pouring off his body and he swings his fist in to an uppercut for her stomach*
<DeathStar> *X kneels, bleeding, lifting up, she has her ripple swirl the dark matter*
<DeathStar> *keeping them close*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Hm
<Xantop> 6* Marcus and Xan both aim, firing stun shots.
<Dias`> <Dias> Time to go to bed for a bit. *he leaps back to keep out of the way of the dark matter swirl*
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Charlotte
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Psionic attack with me
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to retake control of her dark matter attacks to try to disrupt the ripples*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I know just the thing."
<Dias`> *Chad pulls out his gun and fires several stun shots for X
<Seraphna> **Kaelan holds out her hands to strengthen the others with moonlight**
<DeathStar> *X stumbles, the stun shots making her move oddly*
<Xantop> <Marcus> How the fuck...?
<Dias`> <Chad> I don't like that response.
<DeathStar> *X tenses, clearly putting weight on a leg that should be stunned*
<DeathStar> *Then leaps and forms a ripple blade and leaps to gut Dias*
<Dias`> <Chad> ...She's going to tear her muscles apart.
<Alicia> * Charlotte's eyes glow as she clouds X's senses... or rather, the being's, before assisting in Adeline's attack the moment she starts.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to increase the mass of the dark matter to try to bring X back down*
<Seraphna> **Sephie tries to seize her in a TK hold**
<DeathStar> *Adeline attempts to TK slam it down*
<DeathStar> *And do the same*
<Dias`> *Dias begins to dodge when the attacks come raining in on Adeline*
<DeathStar> *Ren looks up from the equipment with Taiga, wincing at all the damage; Xfinally drops to the ground*
<DeathStar> Song 10: Somber
<DeathStar> <Ren> That it?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Remember, don't touch her!"
<Seraphna> Sephie> How do we contain it?
<Dias`> *Dias slowly advances on X, his guard up*
<Xantop> 6* Xan switches his eye through the visible spectrums, trying to see if the thing is jumping to someone else.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I wouldn't want to
<Jackieness> <Noire> "That's the question... how do we contain it?"
<Seraphna> **Sephie looks into the future again.**
<DeathStar> *death and destruction*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We should have gone over this before we started... unless we don't have any ideas how."
<Dias`> <Chad> Can we put it cryo for now?
<Seraphna> Sephie> It’s gonna do something.
<Seraphna> Sephie> I see death coming…
<Xantop> 6* Marcus shifts into wolf form, sniffing to try and smell for it.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "M.... could you be more specific then that?"
<DeathStar> *Those with higher senses pick up a wrong feeling; in the ship*
<Jackieness> Mmmm
<DeathStar> *right as CHIP shuts off*
<Dias`> *Dias eyes begin to dart around* ....
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I didn't do that
<Seraphna> Sephie> I think it took the ship!?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Oh, seriously?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That is an impossibility
<Dias`> <Chad> It left one last present apparently.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> There is no way!
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> I cut off power to that area though.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How far can it travel?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "So, is it trapped?"
<Dias`> <Chad> Id, scan the X* An idlet drops out from his belt and floats over X, scanning*
<Dias`> <Chad> We don't know that.
<DeathStar> *X does not seem to have anything in it that looks tendril like*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...then... Risokyo is in danger if it has ship''s weapons or helm."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Ships, be ready if it shuts the engines.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Kitty - Kaori
<Xantop> <Xan> I'm not seeing anything different.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Take her
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Who was on the bridge?
<Dias`> *Dias kneels down to X, resting a hand on her neck for her pulse and feeling for it*
<Sara> * Kaori does
<Xantop> <Xan> Jaime, Kane, and a few others.
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> Me, Sam and a repair team are here?
<Seraphna> **Leyaeh peers around**
<DeathStar> *Mem looks over Leyaeh's shoulder, on the bridge*
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> Mem too.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then the bridge should be secured
<Jackieness> <Noire> "We need to do something."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What other places could CHIP be disabled?
<DeathStar> *X seems to be alive*
<DeathStar> *But is not waking up, even as Kaori lifts her up*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Engines and the secondary bridge I think. But the main bridge would shut down if the secondary bridge was active.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...so engineering?"
<Dias`> <Dias> Keep her safe. *He takes in a deep breath and lets out his calming intent, quickly searching for people either alone or trying to feel out for the creature
<Xantop> <Kane> I'm sending details to everyone, scan each other and look for these tendril-like entities within each of you. 6* He sends it out.
<Xantop> (said over comm)
<Dias`> *Id adjusts his scanners and begins scanning everyone*
<DeathStar> *Mem points at a flashing monitor on the bridge*
<DeathStar> <Mem> Problem
<Seraphna> **Ley eyes it **
<Xantop> 6* Drasek walks onto the bridge, rubbing his eyes and giving a yawn.
<Alicia> * CHarlotte continues scanning in the meantime
<DeathStar> *it looks like someone is indeed on the Aux Bridge*
<Seraphna> Ley> Someone is on the aux bridge.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then let's move before something else happens."
<Seraphna> Ley> Coukd the have only taken over partial systems?
<DeathStar> *the scans begin to come in on each other*
<Dias`> *Dias suddenly disappears as he makes a mad dash towards the Aux Bridge*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Wait@
<DeathStar> <Ren> We didn't finish scanning each other
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...that, fool! Come!" *runs after him*
<DeathStar> *Rshe runs off*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah shit
<DeathStar> *She runs after*
<Xantop> <Marcus> .... 6* Marcus groans and runs after the others.
<Dias`> *Chad rubs his face*
<DeathStar> *Erevis shrugs and runs after*
<Seraphna> Seph> Check the results on who is here as we run.
<Xantop> 6* Xan rubs his face and moves after the others.
<Alicia> * Charlotte follows
<DeathStar> *Xanatos, Charlotte, Ren are clean*
<Xantop> <Kane> Attempting to get access to a feed of the bridge, it is harder without CHIP.
<Xantop> (aux bridge)
<Dias`> *Chad sighs as he moves after them* <Idlet> Durran, Charlotte and Ren appear to be clean
<Seraphna> **Jaime feels out Adeline, to keep an eye on the team directly88
<Seraphna> **
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> *Yuki paces and looks tense*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Alright so how are we going to get the Cleaners out?
<DeathStar> *Cloe sits with her sister and Bella*
<Sara> * Erica's rubbing her own chin, frowning
<Seraphna> Nox> Avenir?
<Dias`> <Id> It is odd that they aren't here reacting to these time tears.
<Xantop> <Simon> Perhaps I could find a way to contact them without risking Avenir again.
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Not that odd... they don't care much about damage already done."
<Xantop> 6* Simon considers
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Though they have done nothing o contain this damage either."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Maybe they don't give a shit about the Prime?
<Xantop> <Simon> Speaking of the tears, should I investigate, the latent energy I can control due to my connection with Chronos...maybe I can close them and that could get the Cleaner's attention?
<Alicia> <Sparkling> "It's really suspicious that they only go after us."
<Dias`> <Id> Do you believe it's possible?
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "We should have asked Taiga about that, but... a lot's been going on."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Yeah, I'm not sure where mom is
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Perhaps they are specifically native to your reality."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> But are you sure you want to handle these tears? Apparently they're increase by the dozens
<DeathStar> *she brings up the number* There's... a lot.
<Xantop> <Simon> Oh my...that IS a lot.
<Sara> <Erica> Fuckin' hell. That's...
<DeathStar> *the area between Earth and Luna is covered by minute tears that are becoming fatter*
<Seraphna> Nox> Isn’t it like, their job?
<Xantop> <Simon> Maybe we need to consult with them first, then. 6* He considers how to do that, forming runes of time energy, then calls out into the energy for the Cleaners, any cleaner.
<DeathStar> *as Simon does so, he would learn something definitively - the Cleaners indeed seem to be Geyze based, as they do not seem to have any presence in Prime anymore*
<Xantop> <Simon> Ah...they...they're not here. Prime is free of the cleaners influence.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> That good or bad?
<MobileAri> <Nicolette> "Then... where are they?"
<Xantop> <Simon> Maybe that's why this is happening, maybe it's unrelated. We will need to return to Geyze to seek them out.
<Seraphna> Nox> Yes.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "It means they will not intercede because they have no jurisdiciton now that the realities have split again."
<DeathStar> <Selena> Let us hope not.
<DeathStar> <Selena> If that is their thinking, then we frown at us helping the others
<DeathStar> *they
<DeathStar> *Yuki sits on Erica's lap as the Aquarius heads for the gate back to the Mirror Universe*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: PAX - Medical
<DeathStar> *Kaori and Kitty arrive with the damaged X, where Cuddles is holding a frying pan*
<DeathStar> Song 11: TBA3
<Seraphna> **A frozen looking Jennifer sits guarding Cuddles**
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> ... *motions Kaori to put her on a bed*
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Jeeze, what did you guys fight - each other?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> A possessed X I believe.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> It's always the Possessed X. *as she says that, the lights begin to into back up and comms begin to go finnicky*
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Shit.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> You better prepare more beds
<Chaintan> <Kitty>...and the fry pan will do what exactly?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Yeah. **she sets some up**
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Look, I'm not a fighter.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> That’s a +5 Fry Pan.
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty looks to Kaori
<Chaintan> <Kitty> please tell me you dont talk like that with Hess
<Chaintan> <Kitty> giving random objects attributes
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> .... *She leans in*
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Do you call it the The Feisty Frying Pan then?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> When my literal dream children declare something I go with it.
<DeathStar> *Cuddles eyes Jennifer, squinting* Alright, if you two are staying here with her, you are nurses
<DeathStar> *She hands Kitty and Kaori stuff to help with X*
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<Sara> <Kaori> Uhh... no
<DeathStar> Location: PAX - Lower Levels
<DeathStar> *The group, running ahead, find themselves a bit split up in the maze like tunnels*
<Seraphna> **Sephie sticks to Adeline like glue**
<DeathStar> *The aux bridge looks locked*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...and we have scattered."
<DeathStar> *Erevis seems to be MIA when they arrive, as is Cheryl*
<Seraphna> Sephie> There’s an override in the door. I think.
<Xantop> <Xan> Yeah there should be a lever, just have to find the access hatch.
<Xantop> <Xan> Oh, Id, keep scanning everyone.
<Dias`> <Idlet> I haven't stopped.
<DeathStar> *everyone near the aux room is clean*
<DeathStar> *Ren opens the door*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Fine then...find the emergency release and open it."
<DeathStar> *inside appears to be empty, but the lights are off and comms are down*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "How come people can't just stick together here?"
<DeathStar> *The ship shakes, as if something big as shaken it or smashed against it*
<Seraphna> **Angela frowns, feeling Cheryl in the bond in hopes to guide her**
<Seraphna> **Sephie sends a small ball of hyperspace inside to light up the room**
<Dias`> *Chad rests his hand on his holster*
<DeathStar> *a hyperspace blast flies at her face; Angela meanwhile would feel something off in the bond*
<DeathStar> Song 12: Multiple Crisies
<Seraphna> Angela> **frowns** <Cher?>
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to raise a dark matetr spike to block the blast*
<Seraphna> **Sephie raises a glowing hand to deflect**
<DeathStar> *Angela would get a high pitch noise in her head that knocks her flat*
<DeathStar> *Ren goes low to a console to not get her head melted*
<Seraphna> **Angela gasps** I… it has Cheryl I… think!
<DeathStar> <Ren> That what is in here?!
<DeathStar> *more blasts come flying in*
<Xantop> <Xan> Who's doing that!?
<Seraphna> Sephie> Oh fuck… there’s two of them.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Are you sure there's only two?"
<Dias`> *Chad turns and fires towards where the hyperspace blasts came from
<DeathStar> <Ren> You think there's a fucking legion!?
<DeathStar> *Ren leans around and squints; there appears to be red hair in the dark*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "There's at *least* two."
<Seraphna> Sephie> Ours and theirs.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises both hands and then sends a swarm of dark matter projectiles back into the room*
<Xantop> 6* Xan activates the light on his eye so it's like a flashlight, aiming to fire stun shots inside.
<Seraphna> Sephie> Did it get grandma?
<DeathStar> *The person stumbles back, grunts, then unleashes a sheer beam of hyperspace at Noire; it appears to be Ao*
<Xantop> <Xan> Damnit, it's Ao.
<Seraphna> Sephie> Nope, Aunt Ao!
<Xantop> <Marcus> Stuns on a progen even work? Should we try something else?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *shifts her stance, stacking multiple layers of dark matter as a shield to try to absorb the blast*
<Dias`> <Chad> You could punch it. *He begins firing stun shots towards Ao
<Xantop> 6* Marcus makes a face, firing stuns with Chad.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Did you turn into Dias or something?"
<Seraphna> Sephie> I know something that does work.
<Seraphna> **Sephie feels out for Sammael’s mind to send her a message**
<DeathStar> *Ao seems to duck low behind it's own console*
<DeathStar> *the firing stopping oddly*
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... it's over?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...it might be trying to jump again."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Be prepared for anything
<Seraphna> Sephie> I asked Sammael to tie down her hyperspace.
<Dias`> *Chad's shots start to curve around it aiming to hit them beind it
<DeathStar> *suddenly spider like noises can be heard on the ceiling*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *glances up*
<Dias`> *Chad glances up*
<DeathStar> *Ao is crawling on the ceiling like something out of the ring*
<Seraphna> **Sephie looks around**
<DeathStar> *Then leaps down, going full Hyperspace to burn them*
<Seraphna> **Sephie tries to slam her down with TK**
<DeathStar> *well she goes down much faster*
<Seraphna> **Sammael tries to cut off Ao’s energy**
<DeathStar> *Ao is cut off; suddenly, a catgon flies in it's face, buzzing*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *reforms her dark matter constructs into two large panels and tries to smash Ao between them*
<DeathStar> *Ao, distracted, is smashed; as another hyperspace person appears and smashes it's hand in her face*
<Seraphna> **The tiny thing sends a huge blast of 2
<Seraphna> *Wind at Ao**
<DeathStar> *Ao falls on her rear. It eyes the newcomers, clearly wanting them*
<DeathStar> *Wind stands there with the catgon and a familiar swords woman*
<Seraphna> **Seraphna lands on the other and casts her ice power on Ao** Chill out! Get it?
<DeathStar> *and leaps to touch Wind*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... I do confess... that entrance was impressive."
<Alicia> * Charlotte attempts to TK pull Ao away from Wind
<DeathStar> <Ren> ... It was ruined by the pun
<MobileAri> * Ariel releases a blast of holy energy at Ao for attempting such a brazen advance
<Seraphna> **Sephie TKs at Ao to stop the advance**
<Xantop> <Xan> This is a friend, disable but don't kill!
<DeathStar> *The ice slows it down, the hand slowly going for Wind's face, then Ariel puts her down for good. Wind reaches and begins to prepare some sort of metal*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... yes... until the corny one-liner." *glances over* "Xevil's miracle metal?"
<Dias`> <Chad> What are you doing?
<Seraphna> **Angela grumbles as she coordinates with Chii**
<DeathStar> <Wind> That's the plan at least. Yes, it's not found much in your reality. *he attempts to touch Ao, but the body drops to the ground, already evacuated*
<DeathStar> <Wind> ... And it fled
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Hey my humor is awesome.
<MobileAri> <Ariel> "It's not much to look at, but it's definitely a quick one."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Shame you never use it then."
<Xantop> <Xan> Wait you know what this is?
<Dias`> <Chad> What do you know of it?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Id, scan!"
<Dias`> *Id does another sweep*
<DeathStar> <Wind> I don't know much to be honest. Your favorite two timing scum told us abit about it. The metal can force it to stay in a body for a time.
<Seraphna> Angela> We can’t really connect to Cheryl without getting a brain blast.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Not much of a solution, huh?
<Xantop> <Xan> No, but it jumps a shitload so that's better than nothing.
<DeathStar> *Wind hands pieces of it to wrap around a person to the others*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So force it to jump into a terrible jerk, trap it in said vbody, then blow it away?"
<Xantop> <Marcus> I can try to sniff out Cheryl.
<Seraphna> Sephie> We think both are here. Mr. Wind.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Then lets go. There's not a lot of metal here, I didn't have a lot of time to scrap up some in our place.
<DeathStar> <Wind> And then I grabbed our people and headed here. John is nearby too
<Jackieness> <Noire> "No one should be left alone."
<Dias`> *Chad rubs his face after holstering his gun*
<Seraphna> Seraphna> Trap it in a jerk!? I knew we shoulda brought Slasher.
<MobileAri> <Ariel> "Both? That's... concerning."

<Chaintan> <Kitty> short of intraveinious methods...Im not sure how we're going to keep her unconscious longer
<DeathStar> *Cuddles gives her some drugs and medicine* That should help. There.
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> You all can relax a little.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> I could always put her on ice.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> shes not dead, Jennifer. But Im not even sure if putting her on ice would help deal with 6*she gestures over X* 1 whatever is happening here
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> It looks like the creature did a lot of damage to her nervous systems
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Before it left
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> She has to heal it up somehow
<Chaintan> <Kitty> but too much exposure can cause more damage
<DeathStar> *Cuddles muses*
* Sara has joined #TAW-Session700-Nurses
<DeathStar> *Cuddles prepars an area for Kitty and Kaori while she tries to help the nervous system, pacing*
<Seraphna> Jennifer> We have Ao incoming as patient…
<DeathStar> <Cuddles> Another...
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty looks to see the next incoming
<DeathStar> *Ao is indeed brought in*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> what should we do
<Chaintan> <Kitty> be kinda rude to just stand in the middle
<DeathStar> *Cuddles monitors the fight on a little Holovid* It appears we're losing a ton of the crew

<Chaintan> <Kitty> we got anything to get them out of armor or similar encasings, Cuddles? Jen?
<Chaintan> 6*she asks, already peeking around
<Seraphna> Jennifer> Yep, tools there.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> The flying cat healed them to some extent.
<DeathStar> *switching to main room*
* Jackieness has quit IRC

<DeathStar> -TIME REVERSE-
<DeathStar> *Cheryl and Erevis, and whoever was running with them, veer off a bit in the maze like structure*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's this way I think
<Seraphna> Kaelan> You sure?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't know the PAX that well
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Why not feel out your rabbit?
<Dias`> *Dias has slowed down and matches there speed*
<DeathStar> *Chii keeps to Cheryl, while Cheryl eyes Kaelan, with an odd look* Oh right. Not a bad idea. *it looks like they've arrived in a strangely critical area of the ship*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Dias
<Seraphna> Kaelan> Hmmm.
<Dias`> <Dias> Yes?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That made feeling has never left me
<DeathStar> *Bad
<Dias`> <Dias> Then we're following the right thing.
<DeathStar> *Chii peers at Cheryl and seems to be angling right behind her back*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **hmms, her tails swaying**
<DeathStar> *Chii lifts her palms and drives them right at spine to disable*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl stumbles, then whips Chii and slams her*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> **Kaelsn launches tendrils at Cheryl**
<Dias`> *Dias suddenly blurs, appearing infront of Cheryl, his fist winging for her gut*
<Seraphna> **Truth leaps out of her Kimono and sends a Holy blast at Cheryl too**
<DeathStar> *Cheryl pants as Erevis goes blue from the Rune Blade, hasting herself* <Cheryl> You know. I have been curious what you all can do. But even if you break every body, none of you have the tools to really hurt me
<DeathStar> *it rises, already healing itself*
<DeathStar> Song 13: Strongest
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I wouldn’t say that.
<Dias`> <Dias> So you talk. *He hops backwards as he bounces in place*
<DeathStar> *Cheryl locks onto them all, as Erevis uses her speed to try to hit her but speeds past*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan and Truth lay pressure on knowing more that 3 break the lock**
<DeathStar> *Cheryl looks around the place, almost ignoring them as she begins to smash things*
<Dias`> *Dias leaps back in at Cheryl, throwing his fist in at her swing to make her miss
<Seraphna> **Kaelan uses tendrils and Truth another blast**
<DeathStar> *Cheryl hrrrms as Dias hits her*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Limits..
<Seraphna> **Kaelan tosses charms at Cheryl too, empowering them with moonlight**
<Dias`> *Dias then turns throwing two quick jabs for her face*
<DeathStar> *slides back as more hits come in. Erevis leaps in, using her speed over Cheryl's*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You think you are the strongest. You train every day. You think you can beat every opponent. *she tells Dias.
<Dias`> <Dias> It's because I haven't met someone I couldn't. *He shifts his stance and begins throwing a barrage of quick punces at her*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> I detest parasites. Filthy body jumping cretins.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl laughs, then begins to show some of it's cloud form, reaching out at everyone in the room; in fact, a second cloud appears, scooping out as well at everyone in the room*
<DeathStar> *prepare yourselves*
<DeathStar> Up, Left, Down, Up, Left, Down, Right, Left, Down, Right, Left, Down, Right
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<DeathStar> 2
<Dias`> drudrulrulrul
<Xantop> drudrulrulrul
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<Seraphna> drudrulr
<DeathStar> *as Dias is covered in the cloud, all the others would see it soaking into them, right as the other team that was with Wind arrives*
<DeathStar> <Wind> I'm not sure if I have enough metal
<Seraphna> Sera> So knock it out of a few!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...no one said it could infect multiple people..."
<Seraphna> Sera> **she casts a lightning bolt out at the clouded group** Naptime!
<DeathStar> *Truth approaches, Kaelan, Cheryl, Chii*
<Dias`> <Chad> Wasn't expecting that either.
<DeathStar> *they're all hit and stumble*
<DeathStar> *only Dias and Erevis seem fine so far*
<Seraphna> **Sephie tries to lock one down, going for her mother in law**
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Close enough, I guess."
<DeathStar> Song 13: Strongest
<Jackieness> <Noire> *claps her hands together, trying to raise dark matter spikes around to try to cage them*
<DeathStar> <Ren> So a large capture mission, here we go!
<Xantop> <Xan> Erevis!
<Seraphna> **Angela fires a blast at Cheryl** Get out of her creepo!
<DeathStar> Song 14: Day of Fate
<Alicia> * Charlotte tries to work out *some* kind of weakness in the creature
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine; *She leaps around* How are you
<DeathStar> *Taiga popso ut of a vent and lands, coughing*
<Dias`> *Dias kicks up wards and then off ther ceiling and comes down at Cheryl, throwing a roundhouse kick at her*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> They attack the nervous system and destroy it
<Xantop> <Xan> I've been better!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...how ghastly..."
<Seraphna> **Sephie nods, then aims a telepathic burst at Kaelan to try and knock her out**
<Xantop> <Marcus> So everyone it's going in...they're...dead?
<DeathStar> *Kaelan does indeed go down; it seems TK attacks slow them dow*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Not exactly. They're alive. Cuddles is healing X's right now
<Dias`> <Chad> It's probably how it takes over.
<Seraphna> Sephie> Grandma! Telepathy! Disrupts their hold on the cerebellum.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But it's not going to be easy on any of them
<Jackieness> <Noire> "So it must puppeteer the bodies rather than true possession."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... well, that helps."
<Xantop> <Xan> We need a big fucking vacuum.
<Seraphna> **Sephie stays by Adeline, trying to KO Truth next**
<DeathStar> *Adeline focuses, then attempts to attack the brain stem area*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... what about a naked singularity?"
<DeathStar> *without killing Truth*
<Xantop> 6* Marcus fires stun shots for Cheryl if she's still moving around.
<DeathStar> *Cheryl does the freaky thing where they move still, but she's defintiely moving slowly*
<DeathStar> <Wind> *moves around placing metal on people*
<Xantop> <Marcus> Creepy everything...
<Seraphna> **Sera Wind blasts Cheryl at a wall** Down Alternate Sis!
<Jackieness> <Noire> *tries using her dark magic to pin down the infected for Wind to tag*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... *looks around* I feel like something is missing
<Xantop> <Xan> What?
<Xantop> 6* Xan glances around.
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks for anyone missing
<DeathStar> *there appears to be no Chiis around*
<Dias`> *Dias looks around*
<Seraphna> Angela> Fuck Chii Ninja’d.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...this is becomign highly annoying!"
<DeathStar> <Ren> We're going to get beaten by fucking Chii?
<DeathStar> *something slides into Noire's back, through her chest*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Gah?!"
<Seraphna> **Angela shifts past Noire and tries to slap her attacker down with the flat of her sword**
<DeathStar> *Chii begins to try to consume Noire*
<DeathStar> *when she is slapped down right over by Erevis*
<Seraphna> Angela> Go to sleep babe.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *clutches at her chest* "...ugh..."
<DeathStar> *Chii rises and wavers* <Chii> You all have a lot of fighting spirit in you. I salute you. *it poofs out of Chii and enters Erevis*
<Xantop> 6* Xan tries to stun Chii with shots.
<DeathStar> *Then hyperspace explodes the area*
<Xantop> <Xan> Goddamnit.
<Seraphna> **Sephie shifts and tries to counter the energy**
<DeathStar> <Wind> Shields now
<Dias`> *Chad throws his arms up, shifting behind someone bigger than him*
<Seraphna> **Angela forms a shield around them**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *raises her other hand and tries to raise dark matter barriers*
<Seraphna> **Sera creates a Psi shield**
<Dias`> *Dias leaps backwards form his position, holding his fist back
<DeathStar> *The hyperspace blast hits each barrier and does next to no damage outside the area in the back*
<Seraphna> **Sephie reaches out and tries to TK slam Erevis down before she can make a break for it**
<DeathStar> *as the blast ends, the back half of the ship has been completely vaporized, except for the prisoners; even the Rune Sword Erevis held is partially melted*
<Xantop> 6* Xan fires stuns shots for Erevis if he can
<Xantop> <Xan> ....fuck
<Dias`> *Dias comes dashing in at Erevis, swinging his left fist forward*
<DeathStar> *Ren prompts Noire up* You okay? Did Chii kill you? Hell is Chii even alive after that?
<DeathStar> *Erevis seems MIA after that one*
<DeathStar> *only a hole is there in the back*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...Ren, do I look dead?!"
<Seraphna> **Sera holds out her paws, using her healing powers on the fallen**
<Dias`> *Dias to where she was, quickly looking around*
<DeathStar> <Ren> You could be a cloud ghost
<Jackieness> <Noire> "... ... ..." *dope slaps Ren*
<Xantop> <Xan> Wind, can you sense her hyperspace energy?
<DeathStar> *The hyperspace blast, appears to have been one of those cell blasts, having gone round to blast downward, even trying to damage the engines on it'd way out
<DeathStar> <Wind> ... *kneels* It was an explosive blast. I would say it shouldn't kill her. But that wasn't her using her body.
<Seraphna> **Leyaeh scrambles to have the ships outside begin lowering the PAX**
<DeathStar> <Wind> I'm picking up nothing. And it was a big fall down to your city below
<Xantop> <Xan> Below!? GOD damnit. We need to get down there now.
<Dias`> *Dias sniffs the area as he looks around*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...we should have tried to get the PAX away from the planet as soon as we knew something was up..."
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> I’m routing recovery forces below. We have to clear the landing area for the ship.
<MobileAri> <Ariel> "We need some way to track this thing, if it's going to keep moving like this."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Surely it blew itself up
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Lading the ship?! I'm more concerned with the bodies it could jump into!"
<Dias`> <Dias> I'm still trying to find a way to lock on to it.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...it infected half a dozen people at once. Can it infect an entire planet?!"
<MobileAri> <Ariel> "Right. The extinction level threat just offed itself. Have you ever seen that actually happen before?"
<Dias`> <Dias> I can find Erevis.
<Dias`> *Can't*
<Seraphna> Leyaeh> It’s not there and the people below are. Focus and stop freaking.
<Xantop> <Xan> She's not dead.
<DeathStar> <Wind> I certainly haven't
<DeathStar> *he admits*
<Seraphna> Sera> She could have teleported.
<DeathStar> <Wind> There's many what ifs. I'll go searching for the body - if there is one
<DeathStar> <Wind> And looks for hyperspace trails if there is one
<Alicia> * Charlotte focuses on finding the creature. It's not like she'd be any good at dealing with the ship.
<Xantop> <Xan> Regroup on the bridge, get everyone who's down to medical.
<DeathStar> Song 15: Countdown
<Xantop> <Xan> ... 6* He rubs his face, letting out a breath.
<DeathStar> -SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Risokyo
<DeathStar> *the group has returned to the city proper, the PAX having a massive hole in it and signs of the engine and weapons having issues*
<DeathStar> *Kitty and Kaori would be seen with Cuddles transferring patients to the main hospital here*
<DeathStar> *Wind stands with Charlotte, musing at the meeting*
<Seraphna> **Jaime looks incredibly stressed between the ship and her mother MIA.**
<DeathStar> <Wind> The creature likely turned to gas after the fall.
<DeathStar> <Wind> That is my best guestimation.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Then where is Mom?
<DeathStar> <Wind> ....
<Xantop> <Xan> She's not gone, she'll have found a way.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Probably, but tracking it remains a concern."
<DeathStar> <Wind> Anyway, what I would do is this. *he peers at the prisoners* You have at least one gas monster in there
<Dias`> <Dias> Beat the gas out of it, then beat the gas.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Figure out which ones and let’s find a way to get it out and contain it.
<DeathStar> <Wind> You can also use this one to make a tracking system
<Seraphna> Jaime> These replacements Garterahs annoy me.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Hm.
<Xantop> <Kane> Because of the chaos I have yet to find a way to to contrain it, but we could attempts, for now, a container of negatively charged ions to keep it in a sort of permanent stun.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Well, speaking of containing it
<DeathStar> <Wind> You all could yay or nay this depending on ethics
<Dias`> <Chad> Then let's keep working on finding a way to take it out
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's a good idea, but... yeah, that's our best op... did you have a better option you didn't mention before?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> Clone some body tissue, put it in inside, then use the metal
<DeathStar> <Wind> If all it takes over is the nervous system or whatever
<Seraphna> Jaime> Fine. We have a few.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "And that's unethical why?"
<Xantop> <Xan> Cran is good at cloning, we can work with him.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Some might be against it. *He motions*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Dear, do we have any inert prototypes left? **looks to Adeline**
<Dias`> <Chad> He might even have some spare parts to use.
<Xantop> <Xan> As many of our friends are clones, it would be wrong to create a vessel just to doom it.
<MobileAri> <Ariel> "Sounds like a challenge... though you'd think making a lamp out of the metal would be the traditional way to go about it."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Does it need to be able to think or feel?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Think or feel no
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Want to help me get it started?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Then I don't see an issue at all."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We can even do the lamp idea
<Seraphna> Jaime> Limit it to a nervous system. Or something. I… **eyes the sky**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> What you think I'd do something evil?
<DeathStar> *she sounds evil*
<DeathStar> Song 16: Wrap Up
<Seraphna> Jaime> Mom’s alive right?
<DeathStar> <Wind> Yeah... Work on that tracker
<Xantop> <Kane> Nervous system... 6* He considers something and then checks to see if he can get some sort of scannable lock on the changes in the nervous system itself.
<Xantop> <Xan> Until we find proof, we have to believe she's still out there.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> You got an idea?
<Xantop> <Xan> Nervous system is all electrical impulses, if it's a different frequency than normal we may be able to use that. It would be subtle...would have to find a way to boost it.
<DeathStar> *Wind turns to his people*
<Xantop> (Kane)
<DeathStar> <Wind> You want to return home or stick around?
<Seraphna> Sera> We should see this through.
<DeathStar> Lemon> Hm. You think the Song Mages would be of help increasing the frequency?
<Seraphna> Sera> People can benefit from my infinitely long lived wisdom and style.
<Xantop> <Kane> Excellent idea, let us discuss with them.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Alright. *to Jaime* We'll track down the last of the two if it's out there
<Seraphna> Jaime> Okay.
<MobileAri> <Ariel> "We probably need more of the metal, but they definitely need help here."
<Xantop> 6* Xan sits down and sighs, putting his head into his hands.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Right. ... Who wants to help me find more metal?
<Dias`> *Chad pats Xan on his shoulder*
<Seraphna> Thena> We could check lab Xevil made it in.

<Seraphna> Si> **flops on her still exhausted**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You should really get some sleep, Si
<Seraphna> Si> Got my Taiga to nap on. Zzz.
<DeathStar> *Taiga yiiips*
<Seraphna> Si> Should sleep with me~
<DeathStar> *Taiga closes her eyes* Oh fine. What did we do with the other me anyway?
<Seraphna> Si> I tied her up in Kitty’s room so I could have you to myself.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That could be mean - to which one I'm not sure
<DeathStar> *She closes her eyes*
<DeathStar> *High Taiga huffs, trying to wiggle and look sexy all night*
<Seraphna> Si> We could always keep her as a backup.

* MobileAri has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 189 seconds)
<DeathStar> *Megumi seems to be in her room*
* MobileAri has joined #TAW-Session700
<Seraphna> **Jaime check on her**
<DeathStar> *Megumi seems to be wearing goggles and sitting there*
<DeathStar> *while Lenneth puts debris in a dust pan*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Momma? You okay?
<DeathStar> <Megumi> .. of course sweetie. *her voice sounds soft.* Just running calculations. How is Jikuu? You two decided what you plan to do with the old girl yet? Repair or turn her into a museum? Battering ram?
<Seraphna> Jaime> We’re going to settle her to heal and repair as the Palace for now.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> So more no flying? That seems sads
<Seraphna> Jaime> For now. Long term it will fly again. It’ll be like when we stayed on Earth.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> I suppose it will slowly repair itself
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well we want future Empresses to have it too. It’s home to all my daughters.
<DeathStar> <Megumi> So when do we land?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Shortly, they’re making sure the landing area is clear and the ground below was clean…
<DeathStar> *Megumi pulls the goggles off and wipes with her arm* Thankfully the area below is designed for the PAX. So we shouldn't have too much problems for when we do land. Dias managed to get us back home without too much damage outside ... *She trails off* Outside the one incident at the under side which only hurt the core a little. A little closer and you all would have had a bomb on your hand
<Seraphna> Jaime> We’ll… we’ll make sure it’s all set and nice for when we bring Mom home.
* MobileAri has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 189 seconds)
<DeathStar> <Megumi> Mmm. I look forward to it
<DeathStar> *she smiles softly*
<Seraphna> **Jaime hugs her tight**
<DeathStar> *Megumi returns the hug*
<DeathStar> *John and Snipe stare at each other* <John> So your wives turn into flying cats that can hold scythes
<Seraphna> **Sera flops on Hotaru**
<DeathStar> <John> Tabetha - My Hotaru
<DeathStar> <John> You two are angels
<Seraphna> **Tabetha winks**
<DeathStar> <Snipe> I think we're being insulted; someone is hating on my flying cats
<Seraphna> **Sera turns humanoid and leans against him** Did you mention we look like this?
<DeathStar> *John narrows eyes*
<DeathStar> *Wind goes off to mine*
<DeathStar> *Athena meanwhile is in the city itself*
<DeathStar> *along with Isis*
<Seraphna> **Angela has the Epsilon deploying Betas to speed cleanup**
<DeathStar> *Athena hunts for something quietly*
<Seraphna> **Saga pops on by Athena and looks around**
<DeathStar> <Athena> Mao
<DeathStar> <Athena> How goes music detection bad guy project go
<Seraphna> Saga> Song leading chorus team in marathon detection concert. Saga sent to check on Momma.
<DeathStar> <Athena> As long as we have our best singers we'll be fine
<DeathStar> <Athena> We'll find it
<Seraphna> Saga> What lookin' for?
<DeathStar> <Athena> Seeing if any sign of momma. Just in case.
<Seraphna> **Saga nods, then unfocuses her eyes** Much future chaos... but can look.
<DeathStar> <Athena> So what are you doing down here?
<Seraphna> Saga> Checking on you. Everyone holding on hope hard.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Mmmhm. *ruffles her hair as they walk past various stores, some of them selling plushies*
<Seraphna> **Jaime pops out by Lenneth**
<DeathStar> *Lenneth glances up, dropping somethign in the trash*
<Seraphna> **Jaime gives her a big hug** Street sweeping, sis?
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Well, the PAX had some lights and other stuff break
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> Don't want someone to hurt themselves
<Seraphna> Jaime> We should get some more teams out here I suppose. **she wraps an arm about her**
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> How are you holding up?
<Seraphna> Jaime> Making sure the place will be good for when we find Mom.
<DeathStar> *Lenneth nods* That will be nice. *she looks around* How are the younger family members doing?
<Seraphna> Jaime> The girls seem somber, but they're working hard to help with everything. Sephie's acting like Adeline's little assistant when she's not helping with the new shrines to Mommas Ama and Tsuki. Libbie is helping with the detection system.
<DeathStar> <Lenneth> That sounds good that everyone is keeping busy.

<DeathStar> wag
<Jackieness> :3
<DeathStar> *A Ren plush waits at the bar*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *eyes the plush*
<DeathStar> *The plush stares into the kitchen*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm..."
<DeathStar> *it is a very adorable recreation of Ren's wolf-fox form*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves to look into the kitchen*
<DeathStar> *there's sounds of foxes moving about, making stuff; a bell is on the counter, just by the plush*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan sets cookies in front of the plush**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves over and rings the bell*
<DeathStar> *the cookies seem to magically vanish while Noire is distracted*
<DeathStar> *and Kaelan is granted a giant boon*
<DeathStar> *in the form of the plushie now being in her hands*
<DeathStar> *the staff comes out and hands Noire her regular food*
<Seraphna> **Kaelan puts a little diner uniform on it, making it part of her clan**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Wait... explain this..." *gestures at the plush*
<DeathStar> *the plush peers at Noire, now somehow her waiter*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> She is your waiter.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "... ... ..." *turns to her food and starts to eat*
<DeathStar> *another PAX crew member comes in and upon seeing the plushie, feels compelled to pay Kaelan extra due to the cuteness*
<DeathStar> *this continues while Noire eats*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...just what is going on?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga meanwhile has is at the Striker HQ, sprawled out*
<DeathStar> *looking annoyed*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *finishes her cheeseburger and pays*
<DeathStar> *the Ren plush gives off an aura of good feelings*
<DeathStar> *and cuteness*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...where is the real Ren?"
<DeathStar> *Female voice on speakers* Authorization level to scan for Ren Mizukaze?
<DeathStar> *it seems Adeline has indeed begun to mess with CHIP*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... yes, find Ren."
<DeathStar> <Female Voice> Due to recent intruders, I require proof of authoritization
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...I am Noire Arakawa."
<DeathStar> *there's a quietness, probabably the computer deciding if Noire has enough of a rank, before she states simply* Ren Mizukaze is in the chief security offices of the PAX
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...thank you." *picks up the plush and then heads to the security offices*
<DeathStar> *the plush is kidnapped*
<DeathStar> *Ren seems to have several things in front of her; stacks of papers, reports, and god knows what. She's chewing on cookies right now as Noire arrives*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Ren, explain." *holds out the plush*
<DeathStar> *Ren glances up, ear flopping* <Ren> You got a problem with the plushie mom made for me?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...why was it in the diner?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> To teleport food to me. Now I need to send worker to put it back. *she munches cookies* Granted it can only really teleport small things
<Seraphna> **Si flops on Taiga**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...I see...well...its no replacement for you in a conversation. But fine... I shall return it to its place in the diner."
<DeathStar> *Taiga makes a noise* Hello Si
<Seraphna> Si> Hey love.
<DeathStar> <Ren> I'll try to stop by the diner after stuff calms down. Right now I'm swamped with so many reports, I fear I'll have to sleep here
<DeathStar> *Ren runs out of cookies*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm? Reports of what?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> We got an Ex-Empress missing, possibly dead, we have a hole in the bottom of the ship near the core, we got a possible super enemy on the lose, we got time portals opening up all over the galaxy and we'll have to let the rest of the races kow
<DeathStar> <Ren> Not good to sit on that kind of info
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm... this is already well-documented. Why does it land on your desk?"
<DeathStar> <Ren> Because I'm one of the top security people along with Ao and Leyaeh.
<DeathStar> <Ren> Speaking of - mother said something about talking to you about ships whenever you're bored
<DeathStar> *Taiga seems to be messing with the gate*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... well, I've just eaten. I'll go see Taiga then... I'll take a detour to return your plush to the diner."
<DeathStar> *the Ren plush glows with cutenes*
<DeathStar> *Ren puts a few coins in the waiter's coin pocket to pay for food later*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I feel compelled.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm..." *heads back to the diner to return the plush*
<DeathStar> *The staff takes it back*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *then heads to the nearest teleporter to go to striker HQ*
<DeathStar> *Taiga is flicking through a datapad hooked up to the gate when she arrives*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmm...so you are here."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hello, Noire
<DeathStar> *a Noire plushie lays off to the side, staring with a Noire look of annoyance*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "... .. ...you wanted to see me if I'm bored?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I heard you're looking into ships
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm... when all this is over... I need a backup plan. Soemthing to do during the down times."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If you need help let me know. I am going to be starting up a massive ship building campaign soon so I do not mind building you one as well; of if you prefer, the skeleton remains of the Striker ship are still around, but it will need a lot of repair work to get it up and running
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm... I see."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Just let me know if either option appeals to you; the Striker option, I'll just likely end up using it for scrap metal most likely
<DeathStar> *Taiga dials up various numbers and begins to send coded messages*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... in either case, it will need to be special to suit me."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Of course. If you used Striker just as it was it would be too big for you anyway.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm... as I said, I need something that fits me. I'm a Dark One battlemage... so expect something there."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If I could have a sample of one of the Dark Ships from Bobbi, I could probably make something to suit your needs
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The Suisen are planning to make a new generation of ships as well factions on Geyze
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...I'll go talk to auntie."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Okay. If we can make it past the next few months, I imagine things will start changing rapidly with no "eye in the sky" watching us. So be prepared.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Very well."
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods and hand the Noire plush is now closer*
