<DeathStar> Alright

<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.4.20
<DeathStar> Location: X's House
<DeathStar> Date: 10-642.4.22
<DeathStar> Location: X's House
* Jackieness has joined #Fumoffu
<DeathStar> *Ren spreads out papers all over X's place, her tails swishing in thought while X stares at her *
<Chaintan> <Hess> Ren?
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hmmm? *she glances up*
<Chaintan> <Hess>...we talked about this, we need space on the floor to walk and on the tables and counters
<Seraphna> **Jaime casually appears, bringing others who just coiincidentally might be getting a ride from her**
* Sara has joined #Fumoffu
<Jackieness> <Noire> *pushes open the door dramatically* "Hah!"
<DeathStar> *Ren mumbles and gathers up enough space for them to walk like normal people. Taiga slides in as she does*
<DeathStar> *and rushes for a couch*
<Seraphna> **Si pounces Taiga onto the couch**
<Chaintan> 6*Hess sighs
<Chaintan> <Hess> I'll keep trying Grammy
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...you made a mess, I see."
<DeathStar> *X mumbles about when they will fix their club room*
<Seraphna> Angela> **drops a paper about Meth Gorillas on Ren's papers**
<DeathStar> *Ren picks it up and eyes Angela* What is with you and meth animals?
<Chaintan> <Hess> I think we need to find the suppliers with the amount of cases she shows us...
<Seraphna> Angela> They are very real and you know it.
<DeathStar> *Taiga grabs her datapad and looks into who supplies animals these days*
<Chaintan> <Hess> No offence, but i dont think drug peddlers openly advertise that they dope animals....
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Angela, if this is a cry for help... we are totally here for you, so go away." *takes a seat*
<Seraphna> Angela> We literally battled Meth Gators.
<DeathStar> *Taiga shows Hess labs that do tests on animals - of course it's for human products* A-ha!
<Seraphna> Jaime> Better than chasing down more clowns.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Only you saw the clowns."
<Chaintan> <Hess> why would anyone use meth in a human test----whatever...I'll get my coat
<Seraphna> Jaime> That's what they want you to think.
<Seraphna> Angela> **nods and stands, stretching**
<DeathStar> <Ren> W-We're a supernatural squad. W-Why are we... *she eyes the all going with Taiga*... it's product testing lab! ....
<DeathStar> <Taiga> And I'm a fox!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Find us soemthing that isn't stupid."
<Seraphna> Jaime> And no clowns.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "You were the only one who saw the clowns!"
<Seraphna> **Jaime leans forward and eyes her suspiciously** Why are you so eager to dismiss the clowns?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Because they are in your head." *narrows her eyes at Jaime*
<Seraphna> **A clown rises up behind Noire**
<DeathStar> *Jaime hears hey hey hey in her head*
<Chaintan> <Hess> Oi
<DeathStar> *Taiga and Ren both are deadpanned*
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...SEE!
<DeathStar> *Staring*
<Chaintan> <Hess> we talked about this last time, no clowns in here
<Alicia> * Charlotte sighs loudly
<Seraphna> **Thena pulls off the mask**
<Seraphna> Jaime> You!
<Seraphna> **Jaime chases Thena**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *adjusts her glasses* "Now then... what do you have for us that does not involve animals hooked on illicit substances or imaginary clowns?"
<Sara> * Kaori wanders in
<Chaintan> <Hess> this is my grandmother's house and she's kindly letting us use it till we can get the club house sorted
<Chaintan> 6*Hess wearily waves to her girlfriend
<Sara> * Kaori waves, holding her other hand to her mouth as she yawns
<DeathStar> *X is gone*
<DeathStar> *due to the clown nonsense*
<DeathStar> *then returns with a gun*
<Chaintan> <Hess> we have drugged up animals on the docket
<Seraphna> Angela> It's gone, X.
<Seraphna> Angela> Thena chased it off.
<DeathStar> *Jaime still hears hey hey hey*
<DeathStar> *just her*
<DeathStar> <X> ...
<Seraphna> Jaime> I still hear it.
<Chaintan> <Hess> no i think thats the, "meeting is over" gun
<DeathStar> *Adeline sits on the couch* Good luck, Hess
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...eiterating... does not involve animals hookd on illicit substances..."
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Understandable."
<Seraphna> **Jaime sits by Adeline and huffs**
<Seraphna> **Thena is tied up on the floor**
<DeathStar> *Taiga cranks up the van and Ren gets inside* This way Char
<Alicia> * Charlotte heads in.
<Seraphna> **Thena flops into the van, Angela climbs in**
<DeathStar> *Taiga puts in some music for her era of adventuring with Kitty and Si in TAW5* <Ren> Bleh.
<Chaintan> 6*Begrudgingly, Hess makes her way for the van, offering hand to Kaori
<Jackieness> <Noire> *goes out with the others and into the van*
<Seraphna> Si> Oooo, I like this one!
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I don't recognise it."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> It's called good
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Now then... where are we going?"
<Sara> * Kaori takes Hess' hand and follows
<Chaintan> <Hess> Ethically Questionable Corp
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This way. *they drive a long and as they go along, they pass the old burger joints that the Cobalts were running to do their operations. Now it's been taken over by a new place and outside is Lev, ordering a burger*
<Seraphna> Si> Ah yes, EQC, maker of that thing that they make.
<DeathStar> <Ren> He looks familiar
<DeathStar> *she notes as they drive by*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Is this going to just be one of thos nostalgic drives then?"
<Chaintan> <Hess> I think its marketed as the 'hoosie-whatzit',Si
<Seraphna> Angela> That's because he's one of Chad's Chadlings.
<DeathStar> <Ren> What, really?
<Chaintan> <Hess> ew, chadlings
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why is this a thing?"
<Seraphna> Angela> For a guy who seems to hate family he sure made a legion of clones.
<Chaintan> <Hess> do you think they formed like a bundle of grapes?
<DeathStar> *As they reach the animal testing labs, they find a run down building as storm clouds come in and Taiga parks*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "That's called being a narcissist."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> This does not look to be in use
<DeathStar> <Ren> Great, mom wasted our time
<Seraphna> Angela> My theory is the Meth Gorillas became super intelligent, overthrew the lab and built their own society underground.
<Chaintan> <Hess> or theres some spooky goings on
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Orrrr... we could check inside while no-one's around."
<DeathStar> <Ren> I think ... Angela wants to try meth
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks at Angela* "Seriously... are you the one on drugs?"
<Chaintan> 6*Hess cant help but snort at Ren's comment
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "There's probably records, and with no-one around to interrupt... I think she's already tried meth."
<Seraphna> Angela> Ick ,no.
<DeathStar> <Ren> You know you lose your teeth on the stuff
<Seraphna> Angela> Why would I wanna try something that creates superintelligent armies of gorillas?
<DeathStar> *Ren pauses, then deadpans*
<Chaintan> <Hess> and Angela gives herself the worst burn...
<DeathStar> *Taiga tries the doors, then finds it locked, as well as a very sophisicated locking system with a card key needed*
<Seraphna> Angela> Burn?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Huh
<Seraphna> Si> I didn't flare up honest.
<Chaintan> <Hess> Im saying you called yourself stupid
<DeathStar> <Taiga> For such a shabby building ...
<Seraphna> Angela> For being smart enough to not use drugs that mutate?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Makes me want to look inside more."
<Chaintan> <Hess> but not 'super intellegent', you know the S rank is the best
<Jackieness> <Noire> *looks at the building skeptically* "...I could rip the door off."
<Chaintan> <Hess> but lets go inside
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "That's not very subtle, mind."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Hm. Kaori could blow them off too
<DeathStar> *Taiga notes, remembering her firepower*
<Seraphna> Angela> Did you just try opening it?
<Chaintan> <Hess. have we tried....just opening it?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I did
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Then please, pick the lock in a subtle fashion."
<Chaintan> 6*Hess goes to inspect the lock
<Seraphna> **Si kicks the door with a mighty bunny flaming kick**
<Chaintan> *And backs aside
<Chaintan> <Hess> a little warning nexttime Si
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... never mind."
<DeathStar> *the card key lock seems to be of a middle tier type system. It could be bypassed with know-how of electronics.*
<DeathStar> *Si kicks the door and melt/warps it a bit*
<Seraphna> Angela> Yeah, Osbourne Dorsey.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Oh, so subtle."
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuuu.
<Chaintan> <Hess> like we were never here
<DeathStar> *Ren studies the door* It'd take a few more kicks
<Seraphna> Si> I have determined it's strong.
<Chaintan> 6*Hess extends her hands to form a ripple opening
<Seraphna> **Chibi Thena pops on Nocturne's head**
<Chaintan> <Hess> how about we just...walk in
<DeathStar> *Nocturne is with the other team*
<Seraphna> Si> ...Another day, Door.
<Sara> <Kaori> That's how it goes.
<Chaintan> <Hess> no, youre gonna kick the back side so it goes back into shape
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks over at Hess, and then just tries to open the door.
<Seraphna> **Noire's head, weird autocompletes**
<DeathStar> *Taiga and Ren nod, stepping through. As they enter, the atmosphere feels heavier*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves inside* "...mmmm...this is not a drug atmosphere."
<Alicia> * Charlotte then enters, via ripple instead
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Agreed. We'll have to see what it is. When I picked this place, it was due to it getting so many complaints from the neighborhood on what it does to the animals and the noises at night
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Apparently they do product testing but...
<DeathStar> *muses* It might be a cover
<DeathStar> <Ren> And here Angela comes.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "No... it could be a possession. Feel the air?"
<DeathStar> *Ren muses, perking up and looks around; the long hallway feels long it extends some ways down with doors on either side and one at the end*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Well, lets ... get cracking then.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *flips back her hair and starts down the hallway*
<DeathStar> *as they walk along, Taiga tries doors on the left, peering in, several of them are empty office and meeting rooms*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess looks about then looks to Kaori on where to go
<Sara> * Kaori is peering at Ren, ears twitching
<DeathStar> *Ren tries a few doors on the right side of the hall, opening and peering inside*
<Seraphna> **Thena is in one office, sipping tea**
<DeathStar> *Taiga closes the door, and continues*
<Seraphna> Si> And sometimes I think our family is a bit much.
<DeathStar> *Ren opens a door and is suddenly yanked and the door slams shut, third door in*
<Chaintan> <Hess> found it!
<Chaintan> 6*Hess scrambles for the door Ren is pulled through
<Seraphna> Angela> Hey! No stealing my grandkids!
<DeathStar> *Taiga eyes Angela*
<Seraphna> Angela> What?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves over for the door and then knocks* "Release my friend, or I shall devour you."
<DeathStar> *Hess reaches the door as Noire knocks; the door doesn't respond*
<DeathStar> *Taiga steps up and tries to feel out if there's anything evil in the air*
<Alicia> * Charlotte struggles to open the door, and if it won't open, attempts to break it open
<DeathStar> *Charlotte smashes the door open*
<DeathStar> *as she does, she would spot a tiny figure going down a trap door in the floor with Ren*
<DeathStar> *that door shutting; otherwise it looks like an office room*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ren, are you okay?" *hurries for the trap door*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> The hell?
<Seraphna> Angela> Tiny Meth Gorillas.
<Sara> <Kaori> Ren!
<DeathStar> *Ren shuts up* It's a --- *her voice is silenced*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *points at Angela* "You, shut it."
<Seraphna> Angela> Go boil your head Queenie.
<DeathStar> *Taiga taps the floor* There's hollow portions
<Jackieness> <Noire> *turns back, spawns tentacles to try to rip the trap door open*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> What in the world
<DeathStar> *the trap door flies up*
<Seraphna> Angela> Access to a maintainence tunnel or something?
<Alicia> * Charlotte heads down to try to find Ren
<Seraphna> ** Angela follows, letting her armor form**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *moves down through the trap door, obviously angry*
<DeathStar> *Charlotte would see it's indeed some sort of underground lab area as they go down. Cameras turning to peer at them. Taiga lands and glances as rounding the corner to deal with them is comically large panda bears with stuff on their heads controlling them*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .., what?
<DeathStar> *she stares until the panda bear goes to claw her and take a bite*
<Seraphna> Angela> Hmm... Panda Bears... Hey! **she blocks with a Holy Sword, protecting Taiga**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *lashes out with ehr tendrils at the head controllers*
<Seraphna> Angela> Like I said, hands off my kids you confusing ass animals who live in the wrong climate!
<DeathStar> *the panda leader goes to kung fu kick Noire as she frees the other two, who look confused*
<DeathStar> *and sit on their bums*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Thank you. What AM I seeing here?
<Seraphna> **Si leaps and kicks at the leader's helmet**
<Seraphna> Angela> I have theories, but Queenie there will silence me.
<DeathStar> *Si knocks the device off*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Someone is using mind control helmets."
<Seraphna> Thena> Not me! **flops on a free Panda to cuddle it**
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... Alright. Charlotte, Kaori, keep leading the way. *up ahead is a path ahead and a path to the left*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess ripples the discarded device to fall into her hands to look over
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Stop speculating and sally forth!" *stomps past the pandas*
<Seraphna> Thena> I'm naming you Max the Panda.
<DeathStar> *the helmet seems to have a chip in it and a camera*
<Sara> * Kaori, leading the way, looks around uneasily
<Alicia> * Charlotte tries to follow the Ren trail
<Chaintan> 6*with a frown, Hess tries 'Bad Luck' on the device
<DeathStar> *Kaori, up ahead of the pack, would soon come across their next challenge, monkeys with rocket launchers, that work much like her cannon. They open fire at them, blowing holes in the floor in front of her*
<DeathStar> *the device sputters and quits working for the time being, but it also reveals to Hess something*
<Chaintan> <Hess> VI?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Whoa whoa. *it seems to be 3 monkeys*
<Seraphna> Angela> It's all fun and games until you give Monkeys Bazookas! **she forms a shield and starts to rush in while they reload**
<DeathStar> *Taiga stumbles as they ahang from the ceiling*
<DeathStar> *they indeed begin to reload, rather efficently*
<Sara> <Kaori> ... This is getting out of hand
<Sara> * She jumps back
<Jackieness> <Noire> *forms her sword and then dashes at the monkeys*
<Seraphna> **Angela slashes at the Bazookas** Go for their silly hats!
* Retrieving #Fumoffu modes...
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Why bother with this, when you could just build robots?!"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "fine then!" *tries to de-hat a monkey*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> I'm glad I left Hans at home
<Chaintan> <Hess> he might have been able to reason with them, animal to animal
<Sara> <Kaori> Sometimes that's the only way, isn't it
<Chaintan> <Hess> wait, Taiga, go into fox fom
<DeathStar> *as they fire another around, the group manages to knock off the little hats and the monkeys fall down, confused and move off*
<Chaintan> form^
<DeathStar> *Except one, it rises behind the group with the launcher*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .... *poofs*
<DeathStar> *Taiga fluffs and looks adorable*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess holds up the fox to the remaining monkey
<Chaintan> <Hess> get to talking!
<DeathStar> *Taiga chitters and begins to talk in fox to the monkey*
<Chaintan> <Hess>....is it working?
<Jackieness> <Noire> *goes to knock over the remainign monkey*
<DeathStar> *the two animals seem to communicate and Taiga nods her head when Noire does that*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... yip
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Does anyone know what's happening?"
<Chaintan> <Hess> Nope
<Jackieness> <Noire> *grabs the launcher and walks away*
<DeathStar> *Taiga hops down and reforms* Well, he was about to take me to Ren
<DeathStar> <Taiga> But now he's a dumb monkey again
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Lead the way Kaori
<Chaintan> <Hess> what if we use this 6*she wags the bad luck'd device
<DeathStar> <Taiga> *muses*
<Sara> <Kaori> It's worth a try
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Guess we can try.
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "The device was actually making them smart?"
<Chaintan> <Hess> it might go down better with someone more animal like than welll...me?
<Chaintan> <Hess> im fairly certain the animals arent too keen on human touch
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And clearly was controlling them."
<Seraphna> Angela> Smart caps huh?
<Chaintan> 6*Hess offers the device to Si to be intermediary
<Seraphna> **Si blinks** Is this because of my bunny ears?
<Chaintan> <Hess> no its because youre mostly bun
<Seraphna> **Si huffs and puts it on**
<DeathStar> *the monkeys offer Kaori and Si bananas*
<Chaintan> <Hess> not for YOU to wear
<Chaintan> <Hess> put it on the monket
<Chaintan> monkey^
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Touch the monkey
<DeathStar> *Taiga smirks*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> We foxes are too elegant to do it
<Seraphna> **Si blinks and nods, moving to put iot on the monkey**
<Sara> * Kaori deadpans
<DeathStar> *Taiga nods to Kaori*
<Seraphna> Angela> **wiggles her own bunny ears**
<DeathStar> *one monkey sniffs his own finger and falls over in pure shock*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess deadpans now
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Does anyone else think this is a messed up plan?"
<Chaintan> <Hess> yeah...
<DeathStar> *as Si manages to approach one of the calmer monkeys, it studies her*
<Seraphna> Si> Fuuuu.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "It makes zero sense. Are we sure this is really a VI plot and not some randoms who found a crate full of VI mind control chips and decided to just be random with the,?"
<Seraphna> **Si offers the hat**
<DeathStar> *the monkey puts on the hat of the other animals and it slides on.*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Since you bad lucked it, what will happen?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You think we can give commands or nothing will happen
<Sara> <Kaori> All bets are off, whatever we try
<Chaintan> <Hess> that or they have free will? i dont know but we need Ren back
<DeathStar> *the monkey hops up and down and scratches itself, then begins to move off down the hallway*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess follows
<DeathStar> *it moves along, and then touches a wall that reveals a passage instead of continuing where down the hall, birds with helmets were waiting*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ....
<Alicia> * Charlotte also follows
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ...
<DeathStar> *Taiga goes into the passage, cursing> feuckcudamnbitch..
<DeathStar> <Taiga> birds..
<Seraphna> **Thena gives the birds seed**
<Chaintan> <Hess> whats wrong with birds
<DeathStar> *Thena is suddenly pecked to death*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ... they're eeeeevil
<Seraphna> **Thena poofs, another Thena mourning her**
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Alfred Hitchcock is what's wrong."
<Chaintan> <Hess> well that was agressive....
<Chaintan> 6*Hess looks around for where the bird's room connects
<Seraphna> Thena> You should have seen the turkeys. I think that's what traumatized Auntie Jaime.
<Jackieness> <Noire> *points the rocket launcher down the hallway* "You will cease and desist now, avians, or we will have a real problem!"
<DeathStar> *the bird room continues onward and to the right, while the secret passage goes to the left*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> You all want to really do battle with the birds?
<DeathStar> *the monkey continues on down the passage*
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks over the secret passage
<Jackieness> <Noire> "mmmmmm..." *turns and heads for the secret passage*
<Alicia> * Charlotte follows the monkey. "Lets not fight the birds."
<Seraphna> Thena> Be good birds of I will use my special Hyperspace Fried Birdie recipe.
<DeathStar> w*the birds are aggroed and come after the group*
<DeathStar> *Thena has that way*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> ...
<Chaintan> <Hess> fire whenever Noire
<Seraphna> **Thena looks sad, as she fires Hyperspace at them**
<Seraphna> Thena> I will enjoy you... with dipping sauce!
<DeathStar> *cooked birds drop from the sky*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmm...leave Thena to her fate." *continues down the passage*
<Seraphna> **Thena packs them for later and also lightly zaps Noire's butt as she goes**
<DeathStar> *this passage soon goes past windows where they see VI scientists working on animals. It seems they have barely any budget in this place, but from the notes they're taking, it looks like they're hoping to mass produce the helmets for maximum damage on alien animals and the biggest animals and shrink the helmets as they continue the project*
<DeathStar> *and in one room they see Ren through a window with a squirell putting a helmet on Ren, who is biting at it*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "If this continues... I am going to perform violence..."
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Indeed
<Chaintan> <Hess> i think the situation demands it
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Might we save outraged until after we save Ren?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga knocks on the window*
<DeathStar> *then tries to break it*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Ren is the priority, yes."
<Chaintan> <Hess> maybe Si's fire kick would be best in this situation
<DeathStar> <Taiga> That or Kaori can blast it
<Sara> <Kaori> I mean, obviously! *she says in response to Ren being the priority*
<Chaintan> <Hess> Kaokao
<Sara> <Kaori> I mean, if you want... *she cracks her knuckles and produces a fireball*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess presents the glass like Vana White
<Sara> * Kaori throws the fireball
<DeathStar> *the water melt/shatters and the squirrel and Ren both turn to face them*
<DeathStar> *The squirel chitters and retreats through the door, leaving Ren in a chair tied up*
<Jackieness> <Noire> *goes to untie Ren*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Thank you. That mad squirel was trying to put something on my head!
<Sara> <Kaori> Really? That's nuts.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mind control hats. This is a low-budget VI op."
<Chaintan> 6*Hess gives Kaori a peck on the cheek
<Sara> * Kaori smiles
<Chaintan> <Hess> youre cute
<Sara> <Kaori> I-I try. <3
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm just glad you're fine."
<DeathStar> *Ren glances at Charlotte. Taiga contacts Jaime and Adeline for some back up* So what is the plan? To burn this place down and free the animals?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Sounds good, just not in that order."
<DeathStar> *Ren snuggles into Charlotte*
<DeathStar> *At that moment, scientists bust into the room, wielding weapons*
<DeathStar> *they rush the weapon and try to stab them or shoot them*
<DeathStar> *rush the tema
<Jackieness> <Noire> "And try to grab the VI personnel for punishment... see? They are lining up already...." *forms her tendrils and tries to grab the scientists*
<Alicia> * Charlotte launches a tendril at the closest, even before they attack
<DeathStar> *Noire snags a few along with Charlotte*
<DeathStar> *the scientists, oddly, put up hardly any fight*
<DeathStar> <Ren> Well, that was easy
<Chaintan> <Hess> wait are THEY doped up?
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm... check them for mind control chips."
<Seraphna> Angela> So fast I barely got to emote.
<DeathStar> <Ren> oh god, here come the Meth Scientist jokes
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "...right. It'd be bad if I punished the wrong people."
<DeathStar> *Taiga examines their heads, finding no hats, then looks around the neck and finds something akin to the chip*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Here.
<Chaintan> 6*Hess bad luck's the chip
<DeathStar> *the chip malfunctions and the scientist blinks* How? OH no. It's all of you? How did we end up in this place?!
<Chaintan> <Hess> all good questions
<DeathStar> *he looks around, confused* <Taiga> That's right. *She shows her teeth like a fox*
<Chaintan> <Hess> but since youre awake now, whats with you guys giving meth to animals
<DeathStar> <Scientist> Y-You can't prove we were doing crimes. We've been lying low. We haven't done anything --- *he pauses, peering at Charlotte a moment, then eyes Hess* Us, giving Meth to animals?! You're mad! MAD. We were working on chip fo--- *he clamps his mouth shut*
<DeathStar> *Adeline arrive with Jaime and approaches, grabbing the man*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "For who?"
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Want me to rip the information out and save us time? *she has no humor in her voice*
<Chaintan> <Hess> not yet
<DeathStar> *Adeline lets go*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "There is no meth, you doorknobs!!!"
<DeathStar> *the scientist sweats now, eyeing them all and pushed against the wall*
<Seraphna> Jaime> **whispers to Adeline**
<DeathStar> <Scientist> Hah..I know... my rights. You have to take me to jail right?
<Chaintan> <Hess> I just need to hear him say it so we dont have to keep hearing about it anymore
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I'm sure they're going to tell us themselves in just a second..."
<Chaintan> <Hess> no one said DIRECTLY to jail first
<DeathStar> *The scientist swallows at Charlotte then Hess* No meth. No animal testing. *He falls to his knees* We were working on chips to control people.
<DeathStar> <Scientist> But then suddenly something happened
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "What happened?"
<Jackieness> <Noire> "I bet it was the squirrel."
<Chaintan> <Hess> I guess thats when they got chipped
<DeathStar> *he begins to freak out* One of us got an alien pet. And then next thing I know, I'm here.
<DeathStar> <Scientist> If you're taking about controlling animal, it's some ancient project we scrapped long ago due to it being too unpractical. Hats?
<Chaintan> <Hess> what was the alien pet
<DeathStar> <Scientist> *he laughs like he's going to cry* That could be stopped easily
<DeathStar> <Scientist> Uh, a squirrel I think
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Hah! I knew it!"
<Chaintan> <Hess> oh shut up
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "An alien squirrel?"
<DeathStar> <Taiga> So an alien squirrel took out a VI unit
<DeathStar> <Taiga> In Kaori's words, that's nuts
<Seraphna> Thena> I will find this Squirrel and become best friends with it!
<Chaintan> <Hess> Taiga, would it be rude if we asked you to go into fox form again to sniff it out?
<DeathStar> *Taiga waves hands and does so, moving off*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Now that I think, the squirrel didn't have a hat on..."
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Baaaaaaka."
<DeathStar> <Ren> He tried to put one on me though. Grr
<DeathStar> <Ren> A little frilly one
<DeathStar> *Adeline crosses her arms, eyeing one of the human chips, then carefully pockets it*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "... I wonder what roasted squirrel tastes like."
<DeathStar> *Taiga soon contacts them with yips*
<Seraphna> Thena> Squirrel! Come be my friend! **she rushes to find it**
<Chaintan> <Hess> I think Taiga caught the scent
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Adn what about this lot?"
<Chaintan> <Hess> knock em out and load em up?
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Works for me."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> I'll deal with them
<DeathStar> *She grins* There's something I want to verify
<Seraphna> Jaime> I've got her back.
<DeathStar> *the scientist noooo's as Adeline approaches*
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Have fun, Adeline." *goes to hunt the space squirrel*
<DeathStar> *Taiga leads them toward forward and soon they arrive at a hanger*
<DeathStar> *it seems the underground hanger is designed to come out behind the building*
<Chaintan> <Hess> ugh, its gonna be hiding somewhere...
<DeathStar> *as Hess says that, the shuttle starts up*
<DeathStar> *the squirrel inside the cockpit, piloting the shuttle, the guns aiming at the team*
<DeathStar> *Taiga poofs to normal and dives as they fire at them8
<DeathStar> <Taiga> Crap crap crap
<DeathStar> <Ren> What in the world?!
<Seraphna> **Angela forms her shield, tapping a device at her belt**
<Sara> * Kaori falls over
<Jackieness> <Noire> "This is seriously annoying me!" *raises the rocket launcher and fires at the shuttle*
<Seraphna> **Thena squeaks, then teleports into the cockpit**
<DeathStar> *the squirrel aims a tiny gun and shoots Thena in the arm*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess pulles Kaori behind her
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I should've picked up a rocket launcher myself."
<DeathStar> *right as the shuttle is damaged*
<Sara> <Kaori> I-I'm okay.
<DeathStar> *smoking*
<Seraphna> **Thena wobbles and poofs into Dust, and antoehr Thena appears behind her** Naughty! I wanna be friends!
<DeathStar> <Ren> K-Kaori. D-Do you still have your cannon weapon?
<DeathStar> *Ren pauses as Thena distracts from more gun shots*
<DeathStar> *The squirrel chitters at Thena*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Has anything like this ever happened before?"
<DeathStar> *Taiga tries to get the ramp open*
<Sara> <Kaori> I-I don't have it on me... *she admits*
<DeathStar> <Ren> I can't say that I've had a squirrel shoot at me.
<Seraphna> Thena> No need to run! We can have lots of fun!
<Seraphna> **Something crashes into the hangar entrance and then opens up into a mech**
<DeathStar> *The squirrel captures Thena with a net and then goes to aim at the team again, trying to find them*
<DeathStar> <Taiga> What in the hell?
<Chaintan> <Hess> for god sake
<Seraphna> Angela> Montana took longer to land than usual.
<Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm... did Thena realize that she is essentially that which hunts squirrels?"
<Chaintan> 6*Hess ripples onto the shuttle and tries one last Bad Luck
<Seraphna> Thena> Hey! Nets bad! **she turns Hyperspace and lets it burn off**
<DeathStar> <Ren> Hess, the damaged spot Noire made. Can you and Kaori get inside that?
<Chaintan> <Hess> Im gonna hate myself later
<Chaintan> <Hess> one thing at a time
<DeathStar> *the guns jam up right as it begins to fire at the mech, making it harder to hit it, making it so it only hits it at 1/3rd speed*
<Chaintan> <Hess> Kaokao!
<Chaintan> 6*Hess holds out her hand
<Seraphna> **Montana stumbles, then roars and beats it's chest**
<DeathStar> <Squirrel> CHIIIIITTTTTTER
<DeathStar> *it seems frustrated as the platform rises and the sky is revealed*
<Chaintan> <Hess> you shush, before I feed you to my mom's cat
<Chaintan> <Hess> its an alien too and Im sure it wont have any qualms
<Jackieness> <Noire> *forms her Dark Edge again and leaps up to get on top of the shuttle*
<Seraphna> Thena> Join me Squirrel and together we can rule the galaxy!
<DeathStar> *The squirrel looks up*
<Sara> * Kaori takes Hess' hand
<DeathStar> <Ren> Charlotte
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I can't believe that worked."
<DeathStar> <Ren> Ready?
<Alicia> * Charlotte nods
<DeathStar> *Ren and Charlotte go mech too so Charlotte and bust stuff up*
<Chaintan> 6*Hess pulls Kaori up
<Seraphna> Thena> **holds out a hand like a cute, pink clad Vader**
<Jackieness> <Noire> *then slashes downward, trying ti ruin the integrity of the shuttle*
<DeathStar> *As Kaori and Hess get inside the shuttle, they'd find tons of human chips and hats for animals inside while the suqirrel fusses at Thena about something*
<Alicia> * Charlotte fires on the shuttle, taking care to avoid hitting Noire. Or Kaori or Hess for that matter.
<Sara> <Kaori> There's an awful lot of their control crap...
<Chaintan> <Hess> like they got it on a black friday sale
<DeathStar> *even as Noire and Montaina drop the shuttle down to 25% hull. And then the shuttle just sputters out with Charlotte joining in. The squirrel pauses and grabs Thena, perhaps for a hostage and turns to face Kaori and Hess in the back*
<Seraphna> Thena> We can hash out the details later!
<DeathStar> <Squirrel> Chitter and chitter chit
<Chaintan> <Hess> you shut up
<Seraphna> **Thena teleports, with the Squirrel, cackling**
<DeathStar> <Squirrel> !!!!!!!
<Chaintan> <Hess>...whatever, its done
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...where did she go and take it?"
<Seraphna> Angela> Did... she just take the Squirrel hostage when it was taking her hostage?
<DeathStar> <Taiga> .. dear god
<Chaintan> <Hess> do we really want to know? or would we rather leave and grab burgers...
<Seraphna> Si> Burgers!
<Jackieness> <Noire> "...burgers..."
<Sara> <Kaori> Maybe it's just the one squirrel
<DeathStar> *Ren and Charlotte seperate as Adeline joins* <Ren> That works. <Adeline> Here's my report for Charlotte's eyes only
<DeathStar> *Adeline hands it to her*
<Chaintan> <Hess> back to the van
<Alicia> * Charlotte looks it over as she heads back to the van
<Seraphna> Jaime> ...Thena teleported far away.
<Seraphna> Jaime> Everything okay here?
<Chaintan> <Hess> yeah, we're clocking out to get burgers and shakes
<Jackieness> <Noire> "mmmm-hmmm. I'm hungry, and this was just stupid."
<Seraphna> Jaime> Well it can't be any worse than when she became a pirate queen.
<DeathStar> <Adeline> It could be 2+2 = 4. It could mean someone in VI is trying to make him pleased. It could be him. Or it could be someone trying to take him down now that he's back
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Using that
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "Too early to know for sure."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Put one of those on him. He's not done much since the war's started. I think maybe one of us should drag him into the war and make him help us out if it reaches Earth.
<Seraphna> **Jaime leans on Adeline a bit** So... burgers while I pretend to not be interested in this secret side story?
<DeathStar> *Adeline hands Charlotte one of the chips nd moves to join the others*
<Seraphna> **Jaime goes with her**
<DeathStar> <Adeline> Nothing secret. Talking about Venerator.
<DeathStar> *as they get into the van, Taiga cranks it up and moves to take them out to burgers*
<Seraphna> Jaime> Ohhh, right. How many people have been hanging with him in secret so far? And does he serve tea to guests?
<DeathStar> <Adeline> He's mainly been keeping to his cabin - so he claims
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "I still don't trust him, but maybe he's telling the truth."
<DeathStar> <Adeline> We'll see. *rolls the chip in her fingers before pocketing it*
<Alicia> <Charlotte> "We will, yes."
<DeathStar> -END-
