<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.2.23
<DeathStar> Location: PAX
<DeathStar> *Taiga works in her lab with Marcus and Si, looking for the reality*
<DeathStar> *the PAX shaking now and again while the battle outside is occuring*
<Seraphna> **Si frowns** Seems like it’s getting bad out there.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We can't worry about it. Our goal is to simply find--- *She pauses as the probe she sends into the one reality begins to beep, glancing down as it finds all the parameters* It .. looks like we might have something. A PAX floating in a quadrant undiscovered. Where Erevis and her people discovered it
<DeathStar> *Taiga locks in the reality as Marcus moves over to the computer to look at it* <Marcus> So this it?
<Seraphna> Si> That’s what we were looking for! Hopefully not full of monsters like it was in this reality.
<DeathStar> *suddenly, at that moment: Pain. The walls and ceiling crash in and alarms wail as the lab is now a hellish landscape as things have collapsed in. CHIP's voice can be heard saying something about multiple hull breaches on multiple decks. Si would taste blood in her mouth*
<Seraphna> **Si groans and tries to push through it, feeling in her bond instinctively for Taiga as he tries to gather her wits**
<DeathStar> *Taiga seems alert, even though the lab's space has been decreased and there is no room to move in it. The ceiling seems to have collapsed in on them; Taiga is a few feet away from them, hugging the computer and Marcus buried even further*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> <Si?>)
<Seraphna> Si> **groans and starts lifting rubble off herself with her rediculous strength** <I’m here... owewwwww...>
<DeathStar> *Si begins to move it and as she shifts it, it shifts it in a way that Taiga flails in pain in the bond, though she says nothing verbally* <Taiga> <Ungh... one moment. *her eyes glow gold and and her tails grow* <Can you get it off Marcus somehow?
<Seraphna> **Si moves more careful, shifting weight to bring it off Taiga** <I’ll try.>
<DeathStar> *Taiga prepares to use her touch of reality once she does. Marcus for hispart is straining to get it off of himself as well*
<Seraphna> **Si starts lifting it off him, continuing to be careful, shifting a bit more on herself as she can take it** Come on Marcus, Wolf out.
<DeathStar> *Taiga foxholes the terminal into his hands using reality guidance, when alarms go off* <CHIP> Powers detected; powers prohibited. Ememy forces detected. Attacking. *Taiga pauses, then foxholes Marcus away down a floor as the room begins to be sealed of. She grabs Si and foxholes them out into the hallway where it's less destroyed but still a mess*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .... haaaa....haaaa...
<DeathStar> *Taiga's eyes go back to normal*
<Seraphna> Si> Weird... what was that alarm about?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The PAX has a power system in place. We can't use powers on the PAX to prevent enemies. Erevis turned it down in peaceful years
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It looks like this battle retriggered it. If we use our powers we will be in trouble
<Seraphna> Si> Huh... but wouldn’t that screw our defenders?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think it might just be in this sector
<Seraphna> **Si nods** Well thankfully my fists aren’t powers.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This entire place is a mess. *Taiga leans in a wall and walks along
<Seraphna> **Si walks with her** Seems like everything is fine with me... apart from some bleeding.
<DeathStar> *Taiga tries to decide how much is a mess as they pass a fire that isn't being put out and CHIP talking about hull breaches* We could have areas of the ship that run all the way up to other sectors of the ship like engineering to the ... *loses the word as blood drips down her head* diplomats.. that's it*
<DeathStar> *As they pass a few rooms, there seems to be a blue person in one of them*
<Seraphna> Si> Well if I could use my powers I could put these fires right out... though I don’t burn easily. I think I see a blueberry.
<DeathStar> *Taiga glances into the room, holding her head*
<Seraphna> **Si rips her shirt and starts bandaging Taiga’s head**
<Jackieness> <Myria> *bangs a comm console* "Work!"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> She looks angry. *her ears twitch*
<Seraphna> Si> Myria!
<DeathStar> *The comm station sparks, but seems otherwise inactive*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *then flops when it doesn't work* "Oh... hai!"
<Seraphna> Si> We’re getting to safety. Come with us if you want pizza again. Also to live.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "What's going on?" *hops on to her feet*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Trying to reach a part of the PAX that hasn't been hit by the battle outside
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I assume... that a tendril or something got through the shields in this area
<Seraphna> Si> Everything went BOOM!
<Jackieness> <Myria> "If we still ahd your lab, we could do something."
<DeathStar> *Taiga leans back, trying to map out the area in her head* There ... should be ... other labs nearby...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> No, Megumi's lab is closer to 1B.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Can we get there?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lets try. It's a bit of a distance but we can try. *they would notice the air is a little thinner*
<DeathStar> *Even with those who don't need it*
<Seraphna> **Si muses** Even if we could, Megumi keeps that really locked down. The teleporters are a no go.
<DeathStar> *Taiga muses* I have some equipment in the club room. It should be close too.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Have any other ideas?" *tilts her head* "...hull breach."
<Seraphna> Si> Hmm... the shields must be failing. This oxygen drop is vacuum impacted if I can feel it.
* Chaintan has joined #Fumoffu
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It shouldn't be effecting me. I'm a dragoon. But it is.
* Sara has joined #Fumoffu
<Seraphna> Si> Yeah... how?
<Jackieness> <Myria> "If I turn purple, I blame you!"
<DeathStar> *Taiga thinks on it* Lets head to the club room. I should have tools in then, despite Ren taking it over. ... I just hope Ren and the baby are okay
<DeathStar> *Taiga kicks off the wall and wobbles forward, acting like someone with a concussion*
<Seraphna> Si> If I’m not breathing then... gas leak? Something that absorbs into skin?
<Jackieness> <Myria> *eyes Taiga* "Hmmmmm... you seem injured."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Oh, and try not to use any special powers. The PAX is acting like powers - enemy and ally - is threat. The system in here is haywire
<Seraphna> Si> Yeah... is our Dragoon healing being suppressed?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *pauses* ... That might be it
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It's trying to neutralize us
<Seraphna> Si> You shouldn’t have a concussion by now... yeah.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "What a stupid system."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hopefully it does it to the Dark Ones too.
<Seraphna> Si> Great, protection system is killing us.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Fortunately, you have my genius!"
<Seraphna> Si> Remind me to spank Erevis. Or pay Thena to.
<DeathStar> *Taiga moves down the hallway, hand on the wall; the hallway has been filled with smoke due to the fires, CHIP's annoying voice blaring in the background*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huuuuuuuuuuh. Is CHIP's AI still suppressed?"
<Seraphna> Si> Wait... CHIP went quiet after the Teleporters got hacked...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think he was working with Chad on the teleporters actually.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That's just a recording
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Try talking to him and see if he notices
<Seraphna> Si> Oh good.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "The teleporters got hacked?"
<Seraphna> Si> I was about to get Isaac Asimov vibes.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Yes. *walks down the stairs and they approach the club room and step inside*
<DeathStar> *the smoke inside is less present since the fires are on the previous floor and the air is a little cleaner, but not too much*
<Seraphna> Si> I hope it means they finished getting the teieporters cut off from the Dark Ones:
<Jackieness> <Myria> "I knew that the system wa soverly centralized!"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Most likely though... due to their playing their hand...we can trace them back to every location
<DeathStar> *Taiga sits down at the desk Ren has set up*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It was an overly ambitious plan but corrupting the teleporters means we can do it back to them
<Seraphna> **Si checks her over and makes more bandages**
<DeathStar> *her head looks to be still bleeding*
<Seraphna> Si> Yeah your healing is suppressed. This would should have closed already.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *eyes Taiga's head*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well lets avoid hull breaches then
<Seraphna> Si> Mine too probably. I’m just a badass.
<DeathStar> *Taiga reaches into her desk for something* The fact is if we have breaches, and this area is sealed off, we'll run out of area most likely.
<DeathStar> *air
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So we need to get the system to reboot itself
<Jackieness> <Myria> "You won't make it with your head like that."
<Seraphna> Si> We have any medical kits? Jennifer usually has them all packed with nanite shots.
<DeathStar> *Taiga waves her head, then eyes Si as she pulls out a datapad*
<DeathStar> *hand
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Um, there should be something - maybe
<Seraphna> **Si huffs and checks the desk for snacks**
<DeathStar> *Si finds Ren's hoarde of snacks for when she was pregnant*
<DeathStar> *Taiga hands Myria the datapad*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That might help with hacking the system later
<Jackieness> <Myria> *looks at the datapad*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Ahhhh..."
<Seraphna> **Si gives Taiga sugary snacks to keep her going**
<DeathStar> *Taiga huffs, but eats them, tails swishing*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Fine mom, I'll eat my candy mom
<DeathStar> *her words a little off*
<Seraphna> **Si feeds her more**
<Jackieness> <Myria> "We need to gte her bandaged up."
<DeathStar> *Taiga noms like a chimpmunk*
<Seraphna> Si> I did that. **points to it**
<Seraphna> Si> It’s why I’m wearing this fabulous belly shirt.
<DeathStar> *there is a loud commotion outside in the hallway - is it the enemy?*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huuuuuh!" *looks at the door*
<Seraphna> **Si fixes her gloves and goes to check**
<DeathStar> *darkness swirls outside and the two girls get a danger sense. Taiga seems to out of it to care*
<Seraphna> **Si readies herself, and grabs a chair**
<Jackieness> <Myria> "...no time to build something like a mecha..."
<DeathStar> *suddenly someone falls through the ceiling nad lands on Taiga's lap right as a Dark One slides into view, looking weak due to the system*
<Seraphna> **Si leaps and slams the chair at the Dark One**
<DeathStar> *it falls over*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *runs over to kick it while its down!*
<Seraphna> Si> **whaps it with her mighty +5 chair**
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks at the person on her lap and hugs them* Hi there! Look at the angel who fell on my lap~
<DeathStar> *The Dark One turns to dust*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> I am not sure how to answer to that
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty flicks Taiga's nose
<Seraphna> Si> FUUUUU.
<DeathStar> *Taiga pets Kitty, looking like a drunk, then recoils like a cat*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Nyaaa
<Chaintan> <Kitty> did you hit your head or something during all this/
<Seraphna> Si> She has a concussion, Kitty.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> that explains it
<DeathStar> *Kaori, who as likely heading for the club since it's a "safe" place during all this hell, would have nearly been dusted by the Dark One, but barely avoided it, as she arrives at the doorstep of the club*
<Seraphna> Si> Our powers are suppressed so she’s not healing fast.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "And her heals are turned off by the stupid power ssuppression system!"
<DeathStar> *Taiga chews on candy*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Mine
<Chaintan> <Kitty> might explain why I was stuck in all that debris and couldnt get out...
<Seraphna> Si> Yep!
<DeathStar> *Taiga glances up at the ceiling, vaguely recalling that might actually be due to her sticking a lot of stuff up in the ceiling to "store" away*
<Sara> * Kaori makes a -_- face about all the mess
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty wobbles as she gets out of Taiga's lap and dusts herself off
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We can hold a meeting now. *She gets up too and writes on the board - no powers. No air. WHAT TO DO???????*
<DeathStar> *Taiga pats the board* Ideas?
<DeathStar> *she pulls a bottle of alcohol out*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huuuuuh..." *looks around then up* "Where did you fall from?"
<Seraphna> Si> Beat up CHIP?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I think the space between the floors
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That or there's a hole
<DeathStar> *Taiga cranes her head*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Taiga, no drinking that
<Jackieness> <Myria> "She ahd to get into the space between the floors somehow!"
<DeathStar> *Taiga makes a face and hands it over to Kaori*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well... yeah... there's... uh... ducks .... quack quack
<Seraphna> Si> Ducts?
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty cant help but frown a little
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Wasnt Hess with you Kaori?
<Jackieness> <Myria> "And into the ducts how?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Uh. You normally can only enter them at specific points; but Kitty must have BAD LUCK. HA ha ha
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty....restrains herself from smacking Taiga
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks ill after her joke, leaning against the wall to dry heave*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> likely-- Oh Taiga...
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty hurries over and rubs her back
<Seraphna> **Si sighs and helps steady Taiga** We need to get you help...
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Whew, candy isn't sitting well.. thanks, Kitty. But seriously. You normally... *she wipes her mouth* Can only enter them at certain points. The luck to .. enter one and fall into the club. I'd almost say Kitty's bad luck power was still working
<Sara> <Kaori> I'm not sure where Hess went, to be honest...
<Sara> * She seems a bit... flat in her tone
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Miss Kitty, do you remember whoch way you came before you fell?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks at Kaori and Kitty, then at the dust* Probably .. with all this chaos. She might be dealing with a Dark One
<Seraphna> Si> You said the system got turned off during peace times right?
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty shakes her head
<Chaintan> <Kitty> I dont remember much to be honest, just Hess telling me she was going to see Kaori and after that...being in the mess
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Snap... if we could stack stuff to get up there, we could crawl back out..."
<Seraphna> Si> Because... well it’s possible some powers haven’t been set up to be detected.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Yeah, why cripple ourselves? Mom told me that people kept trying to use their powers and the system would flag them and zap them
<Seraphna> Si> Especially powers found after the system was taken down.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *looks around and then tries to check some of the local wall panels*
<DeathStar> *the power in this room seems to be working*
<DeathStar> *Taiga eyes the duct* The problem those thigns are a maze.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *tries to bring up any local information on the console*
<DeathStar> *The system flickers and it brings up the area map; Taiga leans over Myria* Can you get in touch with CHIP?
<DeathStar> *there are footsteps down the hallway toward the club - more Dark Ones?*
<Sara> * Kaori shifts in place and half-switches to a battle pose, feeling on guard
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huh..." *tries to access the corridor cameras*
<DeathStar> *on the camera, it shows a Janior, the mighty Juan leading what looks to be Alouette, the kid reploid, down the hallway, the two having their own adventures. However, behind them, a legion of 20 Dark Ones creep behind them, the two unaware as they near the club room*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well. ... Those two are in trouble.
<Seraphna> Si> We should save them. Allouette is technically my sister.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Uh-huh! But what can we do?" *looks for any options on the system*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm more worried about who will clean my club room if the janitor is killed
<Seraphna> **Si arms herself with TWO chairs, moving for the door**
<Seraphna> Si> I’m only not telling Momma Ang you said that because you have a head injury.
<DeathStar> *Myria would find various systems like weapons nad stuff, but you need to be high level to use them*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "I don't have access to the internal defenses."
<Seraphna> Si> Oh, and as a Reploid Allouette might be able to hack that.
<DeathStar> *suddenly the Dark Ones pounce*
<DeathStar> *10 feet away from the club room*
<Seraphna> **Si leaps into the hall and tosses one chair at them as she charges with the other** Look out!
<DeathStar> <Juan> Wha! She is attacking us!
<Seraphna> Si> Dark Ones behind you!
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Siiiiigh..." *hacks the hall lighting to spotlight the Dakr Ones*
<DeathStar> *as the chair hits the Dark Ones, the spotlight htis the Dark Ones ,slowing them down. Alouette turns and spots them, rushing into the club room beside Kaori, abandoning Juan*
<DeathStar> *the 19 other Dark Ones rush Si*
<DeathStar> *like something out of Aliens
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Get inside and shut the door, Si!
<Sara> <Kaori> Ack! *she punches and kicks randomly at the one near her*
<DeathStar> *Kaori manages, somehow, to destroy one; they seem really weak*
<Seraphna> **Si hands Juan the chair she has and starts punching and kicking with her armored limbs**
<Jackieness> <Myria> *works to keep the lights spotting Dakr Ones*
<DeathStar> *Si pops out and Juan takes down one with a chair; however due to their sheer number they begin to wrap tendrils around, one beginning to drag Kaori away even as she takes down a few and Si is grabbed*
<Sara> <Kaori> You'll never take me alive, coppers!!!
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... *moves outside and drops and kicks one, freeing Si and Kaori* Ren would hate me forever. *she wobbles against the wall, truly throwing up this time*
<Seraphna> **Si rallies and defends Taiga, using her bouncing bunny fu**
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Ah! Get Taiga back into the room!"
<DeathStar> *the remaining 6 Dark Ones hiss and begin to retreat*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> *peeks out*
<Seraphna> **Si lifts Taiga and moves for the club room**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Whoa, uh...
<Seraphna> Si> Hey Alouette, where’s Anyata?
<DeathStar> *Alouette looks at Kaori all starry eyed* You took them down in one hit
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Huh? Oh. She floated out into space when part of the ship blew up
<DeathStar> <Alouette> She should be fine.
<Seraphna> Si> That’s not good... at least Reploids don’t need to breathe?
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I think she was floating toward another part of the PAX
<DeathStar> *Alouette turns toward Kaori, asking for an autograph*
<Sara> * Kaori blinks and signs it, eyes wide
<Seraphna> Si> Well as long as Aunt Zeph doesn’t get upset.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Uh... ngh... can this girl here... use the system with you Myria?
<DeathStar> *the air has definitely gotten harder to breathe*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "We cna try!"
<DeathStar> *and Taiga seems to be being affected the worst*
<DeathStar> *Alouette joins Myria and works with her, unlocking all the systems she needs to use, giving Myria full access of the map and allowing her to get noticed by CHIP*
<Seraphna> **Si frowns, worried**
<Jackieness> <Myria> "CHIP! We need help! Alsoa statue of Kaori who slew 17 Dakr Ones with a chair!"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Hm? Ah. Hello, Madame Myria. One moment. *a holographic head of himself appears in front of Kitty*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Also Taiga's dying."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Blargh
<Seraphna> Si> I feel like I got credit napped. Still, try to get powers filtered if you can Myria. She needs her Dragoon healing... and I can share mine with her.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Let me assess your situation. ... hm. Your part of the ship has taken heavy damage. I have little control of your area. It seems repair teams will need to be sent in there; a giant tendril has been lodged into the area
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Your part of the ship has been all but crushed in.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Can you adjust the power suppression field so Taiga cna heal?"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> However with repairs it can be livable in a few months. ... no. I'm afraid not due to the tendril. Until that is removed that is not doable and repair teams can go in and fix the damage. And I see only one path from there to the main ship. *he draws one line through the ducts through one doorway*
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Also you have about 3 hours worth of air left.
<Seraphna> Si> So get through the ducts or kill the tendril.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *looks up* "...can you shut off the gravity?"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Hm, I suppose I can attempt that.
<Jackieness> <Myria> *turns around* "We are going up and then through the ducts to safety!"
<DeathStar> *the group begins to float*
<Seraphna> Si> See if we’re close to a security cache too. CHIP should know where Leyaeh stashed some guns.
<DeathStar> *alouette hangs onto Kaori*
<Sara> * Kaori is careful not to disturb her too much while moving around
<Jackieness> <Myria> *drifts around then transfers CHIP to the datapad that Taiga gave her earlier* "Now, someone need to get up there and then we send Taiga up... so you catch ehr and help her through the ducts."
<DeathStar> *Taiga snoozes between Kitty and Si*
<DeathStar> *floating about*
<Seraphna> **Si easily moves herself up there leaving her with Kitty**
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Now then... Kitty, ease Taiga up to Si."
<Chaintan> <Kitty> should I lift her then?
<Chaintan> <Kitty> gotcha
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty crouches and lifts Taiga by the waist to bring her up
<Seraphna> **Si reaches out to catch her**
<DeathStar> *Taiga jolts awake* Uh? Huh?
<DeathStar> *Taiga wiggles, tails flicking and tickling whoever is close by*
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuu, we’re venting. Hehehe!
<DeathStar> <Alouette> *to Kaori* Isn't going itno the vents a ... bad idea?
<DeathStar> *as Kitty and Si manage to get Taiga into the vents, they would find it rather pitch black*
<DeathStar> *and the air even more suffocating*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Now then, start moving through CHIP's path."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Grrr, I can't go into my tiny form.... *whine*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> if an animatronic comes out...
<Seraphna> **Si does so, guiding Taiga**
<DeathStar> *As they shuffle around in the vents, it seems rather winding, moving along with exit points in various points to do repair work all over the PAX. Moving about, it reveals how massive the PAX really is. At least the size of the vents is large enough to move in, indicating the Progenitors were rather large*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Now then, give them some space and then start following after!"
<DeathStar> *Alouette helps Kaori up and moves in as well*
<DeathStar> *despite being a little girl reploid, she still has a reploid strength*
<DeathStar> *about half-way through the vents, the ones in the front (I think Kitty?) would hear something shuffling ahead, moving toward toward the group. And the ones in the back (I think Myria), would hear something stalking them*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huh..." *takes out the datapad* "CHIP, do you have sensors in the ducts?"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Hm? Oh yeah; you got Dark Ones stalking you.
<Jackieness> <Myria> "eeeee... how far are we form the exit?"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> About half-way. Better book it!
<DeathStar> *a Dark One begins to leap for the person in the lead (it seems to be Si) and nab them*
<DeathStar> *and a Dark One leaps for Myria to nab her*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty attempts to yank at a Dark One
<Seraphna> **Si shifts and instead times a lunch for when it gets in close**
<DeathStar> *Taiga just goes flat*
<Seraphna> £
<DeathStar> *letting Kitty and Si do battle, pulling the Dark One in close*
<Seraphna> *punch
<Jackieness> <Myria> "EEEEEEE!" *kicks back to bounce the Dakr One back and then tries to get some distance down the duct*
<DeathStar> *Alouette looks backwards as Myria charges forward, running over her and Kaori after she kicks it backwards* <Alouette> Look out, Kaori!
<DeathStar> *The Dark One wrestles with Kitty and Kaori, trying to pull them out of the duct, already damaged*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *zooms*
<Seraphna> **Si presses forward, grappling and trying to breaks hers, driven with Taiga in real danger**
<DeathStar> *Si and Kitty manage to dust their's when Myria runs them over, zooming ahead down the duct*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... nyaaa
<Jackieness> <Myria> "More Dark Ones afetr me!"
<DeathStar> *Alouette helps Kaori along, even as Dark Ones chase them*
<Sara> <Kaori> Good grief
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I think we shouldn't look back. That is whay they say in the movies
<DeathStar> <Alouette> If we do not look back, they do not exist
<Chaintan> <Kitty> thats not how it works
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Really? *she asks as they shuffle ahead, the sounds of Dark Ones behind them, but no attacks again so far; Taiga needing to be dragged along like she's given up*
<DeathStar> *they soon reach the correct exit point*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *tries to open the door*
<DeathStar> *not door yet; just drop down into the hallway then the door*
<DeathStar> *the entire time the sounds of multiple Dark Ones breathe down Kaori's neck*
<DeathStar> *as if they were right behind her....*
<DeathStar> *As Myria opens the duct, she'd see a dark hallway down below her*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *texts CHI* ~Lights?~
<DeathStar> *CHIP turns it on; and below is a corrupted hallway like something out of Aliens. Hess is there, all tied up with a next of Dark Ones and a giant Dark One beast like creature protecting the only way through*
<DeathStar> *Hess is all gooed up in the corner, as well as other crew people*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "...uhhhh..."
<DeathStar> *Taiga has passed out at this point*
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I'd say you got about 2 hours of hair left and Taiga is in critical condition
<DeathStar> *air
<Jackieness> <Myria> *whisper* "...there is a Dark one nest down there."
<DeathStar> <Aloutte> Well, yeah. They have to put their nest in the important place to us heroes.
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Much like turning backwards spawns more of them
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I saw it on holovid
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty goes back for Taiga
<Jackieness> <Myria> "...what do we do?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga looks to be unresponsive now to prodding, laying there in the duct in front of the drop down into the hallway with the nest*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I don't know
<DeathStar> <CHIP> You could try to sneak past the nest through the door
<Jackieness> <Myria> "We sneak then..." *eases herself down into the hall*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty grunts and pulls Taiga up
<DeathStar> *The Dark Beast walks about, lifting up the civilians and doing something to them. Poor Hess and the civilians*
<DeathStar> *Taiga makes a noise, leaning against Kitty, stirring just a bit*
<DeathStar> *Alouette lowers down*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *tries to sneak along*
<DeathStar> *the room is filled with the civilians and the beast to one side and the corrupted little objects scattered about in front of the civilians and the door on the other side. It has some corrupted gunk on it that needs to be pulled off, but otherwise it looks like it is unprotected*
<DeathStar> *Myria sneaks to the door without tripping but Alouette begins to trip on something on the floor, flailing*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *works on trying to clear off the door and get it open*
<DeathStar> *Kitty and Taiga also manage to get to the ground level successfully, Taiga leaning against Kitty*
<DeathStar> *the door is cleared but Myria notices a red light that is about to alert everything in a few seconds. Quickly, Opposite Game to shut off the alert*
<DeathStar> Up, Down
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
<Jackieness> du
<DeathStar> *it powers down and the door opens*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *moves through*
<DeathStar> *as Myria gets through, her powers and abilities come back after a short distance*
<DeathStar> *From the door*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *tries seeing if she can extends her TK into the room*
<DeathStar> *it seems to be able to do so, however the door begins to shut after 45 seconds; also Alouette was caught by the beast due to falling and is being tied up*
<DeathStar> *at least Kitty and Taiga has not been noticed yet*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *uses her TK to try to work a panel off of the wall*
<DeathStar> *Myria manages to rip it off as the door begins to shut slowly*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *then moves it to block the door*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty hurries through
<DeathStar> *the door crunches on the panel and it seems to hold. Taiga lays there, gasping fresh air and after a moment, her and Kitty's powers return once out of the neutralizing field*
<DeathStar> <CHIP> You are out of the malfuctioning field
<Jackieness> <Myria> *whisper* "...hurry up...we need to help them."
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Do note if the monster follows you it's powers will return too
<DeathStar> *Taiga's healing begins to kick in and she twitches, opening her eyes, looking dazed still*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *looks for Si and Kaori now*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> I just need a sec, Taiga are you starting to wake up?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> sheao am fine
<Chaintan> <Kitty> yeah thats not giving me much confidence
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods*
<DeathStar> *then winces*
<DeathStar> *at that moment, a monstery hand grabs the door frame and wrenches it up, the monster looming over the group, about to step into the field where it'll be stronger*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Ons'er
<Jackieness> <Myria> *then pushes back with ehr full TK*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty forms a ripple under it
<DeathStar> *the monster is pushed back into the ripple, landing back into the othr room*
<DeathStar> *Taiga forms a foxhole, freeing Hess and the others*
<DeathStar> *letting them land beside the others*
<Jackieness> <Myria> *then uses her TK to try yanking another panel out of the wall*
<DeathStar> *it rips and sparks*
<DeathStar> *Alouette hops up> What are you trying to do?
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Duck." *starts to spin it on end then sends it flying toward the Dark Beast like a Destructo Disc*
<DeathStar> *she does so*
<DeathStar> *the monster rumbles forward like the Alien in Isolation, then pauses*
<DeathStar> *then falls forward*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Wooooooooo!" *flops*
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I am now sealing that area off.
<DeathStar> *more doors begin to fall down*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "We made it!"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .... *sprawls out, peering up at Kitty and Myria* ank... Thank you
<DeathStar> *Alouette and Hess are covered in alien/Dark One gunk*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> ... not fun.
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I think it wanted to eat me
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Huh... more likely it was using you for a reproduction function."
<DeathStar> <Alouette> .....
<Jackieness> <Myria> *hops to her feet* "Anywya, you need a shower!"
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Try and not talk, you need to rest
<DeathStar> *at that moment, there is a roar sound behind the group* <Alouette> Try not to look behind you. It's not there if you don't look behind you
<Chaintan> <Kitty> thats not how that works!
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Were actually facing different directions."
<DeathStar> <Alouette> I'm not looking. I'm not looking!
<DeathStar> *Taiga glances* Oh hey!
<Jackieness> <Myria> *oulls out the datapad* "which is the safest way now, CHIP?"
<DeathStar> *it turns out to be one of Cheryl's pets since she has been on PAX lately. It stands on two legs, looking fierce and roaring*
<DeathStar> <CHIP> I will make a line. *a line appears on the floor*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "This way!" *follows the line*
<DeathStar> *the pet roars at Kaori as they walk off, chewing on her boot*
<Sara> * Kaori deadpans
<Sara> <Kaori> Guess I'll need new shoes
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Just adopt it
<DeathStar> *She stands up and follows along* I feel like we forgot someone... <Alouette> Hm? Who?
<DeathStar> *as they walk off, Hess heading off to shower*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "We rescued civilians and Hess..."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You did good, Myria. You and Kitty and ... Si. Oh. Where is Si? *she looks around* She probably is off doing her thing. That's Si for you
<Jackieness> <Myria> "CHIP, where is Si?!"
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Hm? Scanning. Did I seal her in that one section? Lets see...
<Jackieness> <Myria> *falls over*
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Oh, it looks like she escaped and is with others. No worries.
<DeathStar> *CHIP mumbles something about avoiding malpractice*
<Jackieness> <Myria> "We win!" *from the floor*
<DeathStar> *Taiga flexes her one hand* I just hope Ren is okay in all this. She just had a kid.
<DeathStar> *Taiga offers her good hand to Myria*
<DeathStar> *Then peers at Kaori* What do you plan to do during the battle?
<Jackieness> <Myria> *takes Taiga's hand*
<DeathStar> *Taiga pulls Myria up* I think I'll check on Akatsuki, then retire to my room. I'm in no shape to do anything more. My head is killing me and I'm seeing double.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I take you'll give your report to CHIP, Myria?
<Jackieness> <Myria> "Ummm.... sure!"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Okay. Good luck
<Jackieness> <Myria> *then scurries off*
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods to Kaori* Be safe, kid.
<DeathStar> <Taiga> If you plan to do anything during the rest of this, keep your head low. *she lumbers off toward the residental area*
<Sara> <Kaori> I'm always safe, and I'm not a kid anymore
<DeathStar> *Taiga glances back* Hm. We might look the same age, but you're my daughters age. And I still see her as a kid. Habits. Sorry.
<DeathStar> *Taiga gives a wave and rounds the corner*
<DeathStar> *Alouette looks at Kaori*
<DeathStar> <Alouette> Want to hang out?
<Sara> * Kaori peers around for Hess
<DeathStar> *Hess seems to have gone to take a shower in their room to get alien gunk off; so Kaori could go there to see her*
<DeathStar> *since she was this close to meeting an alien egg*
<DeathStar> *or did she already?!*
