01<@DS> -0-
01<@DS> Date: 10-762.2.7
01<@DS> Location: Striker HQ
01<@DS> *The PAX maintains it's orbit around the Strike station while Taiga brings the Striker ship outside to join the PAX*
01<@DS> *Adeline maintains communications between the two ships from the bridge of the PAX as Taiga leans back on the bridge of the Striker*
03* Joins: Chaintan (Chaintan@c-24-4-58-115.hsd1.ca.comcast.net)
01<@DS> <Ren> *hangs over the back of Taiga's chair on the Striker* So. Any last words we want to share before we both set off?
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> You’re my friends. And I always liked you even when you made fun of my sex queen ways. **nods**
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *steps on to the Striker bridge* "Mmmmmm...hardly a queen, Kaelan."
01<@DS> *Taiga turns to eye Kaelan* What?
<@Seraphna> Jaime> Same, but I’m an Empress.
01<@DS> <Adeline> Is this suppose to be some last lines?
<@Seraphna> Si> I have no idea. But if so, I want everyone to know I ate that 20 inch cookie.
01<@DS> *Adeline shakes head* Alright, while you are all being serious
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Anyway...do not start any fights. Upper Chad is our current suspect, but nothing is solid yet."
01<@DS> <Adeline> This will be the last chance to transfer between the two ships. If you watnt to come over to the PAX to deal with the one Chad, now is your chance.
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "I am both a Fumoffu club member as well as the former field leader of the Strikers. My place is with my team."
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Me and my own take care of our peeps. Yo.
01<@DS> <Ren> Since when did you begin to talk like that>
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *looks over at Kaelan*
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Noire shocked me into another speech pattern.
01<@DS> *Taiga checks a panel* Interesting
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
<Chaintan> 6*Taiga gets a chirp from her datapad
01<@DS> *Taiga picks up* Yo?
01<@DS> *Adeline motions at the PAX bridge* Alright, lets get the PAX ready to ascend
<Chaintan> <Kitty> so, im running a little late
<@Seraphna> Si> Fuuuuu.
01<@DS> <Taiga> Heh. I got the teleporters routed directly to the ship. You can beam directly here
<Chaintan> <Kitty> thank gods, im so tired
<@Seraphna> Jaime> Alright, I’m sure we can stick Jikku in there while she’s not doing anything.
<Chaintan> 7*Kitty hangs up and appearts shortly there after
01<@DS> <Taiga> Alright, we're going to begin to ascend
01<@DS> *she motions at Kitty* <Taiga> Try not to freak out
01<@DS> *someone stands behind Kaelan and begins to pull out what looks like wires from a wall*
<Chaintan> <Kitty>... you cant tell me that and not expect me to be calm
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan peers back** Huh?
01<@DS> *The Striker begins to jump; supposedly upward along the higher planes. Outside the viewport, instead of hyperspace or something else, as they travel upward, it is just a black void, with something in the distance that looks like it is approaching the ship*
01<@DS> *Maya, Hess and Kaori's kid, is there using the plugin to play a game*
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> **continues to look back for whatever it is**
01<@DS> *Maya nods at Kaelan*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty quietly buries her face in her hands
<Chaintan> <Kitty> why
01<@DS> *Ren slowly offers Kitty a snack*
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Ummm, don’t pull those.
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan tendrils her up**
01<@DS> <Maya> I'll look for another plug in
01<@DS> <Maya> Over reaction much
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty sighs and takes the snack from Ren
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Maya....do your moms know youre here
01<@DS> <Maya> Nope; think I'm at the arcade
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Overreaction? **raises a brow**
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Maya.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Im going to rat you out
01<@DS> *Maya pales and finds a seat, turning her hat backwards so some of her pink hair hides her eyes*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty exhales and munches on the snack
01<@DS> *the ship suddenly gives off a quick alarm and then stops after it hits something in the strange space they have been going upward. Taiga tries a few things, then lets out a breath*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "What is it?"
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Did we hit a random Dias?
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm....not a hard enough blow for Dias."
01<@DS> <Taiga> Well mind you the technology we're using is a little bit cobbled together. But the engines are stalled out and registering us in a ... hole in this ladder we're creating
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "A hole?"
01<@DS> <Taiga> Hole, nothingness
<@Seraphna> Si> That’s so… umm… boring?
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...can you get us out?"
01<@DS> *Taiga heads to the back*
01<@DS> <Taiga> Let me see
01<@DS> <Ren> I swear if our adventure ends with a hole..
01<@DS> *Taiga opens the hanger door to the ship and motions outside it; there is just darkness*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Yes, we are in a void, Taiga. We have established that."
01<@DS> <Taiga> Smart ass. If I wanted absuive answers, I'd talk to kitty
01<@DS> *she fires a flare into the darkness, revealing large worm like creatures approaching the ship*
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan rubs REN’s ear**
<Chaintan> <Kitty> well thats harsh, im just honest
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...stilllwhat cna be done to extricate us from this predicament?"
<@Seraphna> Si> SPACE HOLE WORM
01<@DS> *Ren leans into the pet*
01<@DS> *Taiga slams the hanger door right as one bangs aginst it*
<@Seraphna> Si> Is that why they call it a Worm Hole?
01<@DS> <Taiga> The problem is we can't move while stuck in the hole. I do not know why, but it seems to be making it harder for our engines to do their job. We need a push
01<@DS> <Maya> ugh, that was bad.
01<@DS> *Taiga returns to the cockpit and straps in*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "A push from what?"
01<@DS> <Taiga> Exactly
01<@DS> *Taiga eyes her datapad to see if she can make an explosion*
<@Seraphna> Si> Anyone here a telekinetic or a Magneto?
<@Seraphna> Si> Love, just tell me how you want the explosion to be.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> that was more Hess....
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty looks at Maya
01<@DS> <Maya> I can give it a try...
<Chaintan> <Kitty> You sure? last time you fainted
01<@DS> *Maya shuffles* I got it, grandma. *she heads to the back where directed*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty hurries aftewr
01<@DS> *one of the worms has put it's mouth against the window port and is trying to "eat" it, giving a full view*
01<@DS> <Ren> Never eating again
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "We all know that you'll be hungry again in an hour."
01<@DS> *Maya squints at the back of the ship, then tries wiggling her hands like she's about ot start a gaming competition, then points at the back with gun motions*
<@Seraphna> **Si watches, waiting to make an explosion just in case**
01<@DS> *Maya pushes out her hand a bit at the ship when nothing happens, and it does feel like there's a shaking this time*
<@Seraphna> Si> Try again.
01<@DS> *the worms begin to try to eat the Striker,. Maya gives the typical teen look, then reaches out to try once more*
<@Seraphna> **Si focuses where Taiga calculated and sparks an explosion the moment she points**
01<@DS> <Taiga> Okay, I'm going to go out there myself. *she begins to grab suit and flame thrower when the explosion jerks them forward and the seem to be moving again*
01<@DS> *Taiga pauses and sits down to see if everything is okay; it looks okay, minus 3 shapes still chewing on the ship*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "That does not seem to be necessary, Taiga. You may want to pilot though."
<@Seraphna> Si> **heats the hull where they chew and forms flame barriers, while taking out some snacks**
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty, being a dummy, didnt do her best to hold onto something so, she's squished against the windows towards the back.
01<@DS> *Taiga sits down and focuses while Maya sits down* <Maya> So I forget, were you grandma's friend - flame girl?
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Flame girl?
<@Seraphna> Si> Mmhmm. Si’Chii.
01<@DS> <Maya> I thought you all had code names back in the day
<@Seraphna> Si> I think mine was like, Burn or something.
<Chaintan> <Kitty> gods, did we
01<@DS> *The Striker soon poofs into normal space and Taiga begins to check everything out* <Taiga> We are in the highest plain of existance. *She turns her chair toward Kitty and Maya* It'll be a good time to bring you up to speed
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Any bead on the PAX?"
01<@DS> <Taiga> They'll be doing their own mission
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmmm...hopefully they did not fall into the same trap we did and gets tuck there."
01<@DS> <Taiga> Alright, our mission is to find the higher plain Chad's hybrid - it can affect emotions on a high scale level and control people using them. Turn people into a rage machine, and set tbem loose, and you could be swarmed
01<@DS> *Taiga walks toward the cargo bay where something is locked up, then opened it to reveal the hybrid is in there, looking depressed and sad. It's emotions radiating so much that it begins to make them sad* <Taiga> Ours here is stuck on depression mode due to not being laid
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmm...I doubt that is its actual issue."
01<@DS> <Taiga> It's easier to just explain it like that to Kitty and Maya
01<@DS> <Taiga> Anyway, we want to stop the hybrid weapon here before it can be used. Unlike a lot of our missions, this isn't going to be goofy fun. It's more like when we were kids
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "And look at how well we all developed with such childhoods."
<@Seraphna> Si> I developed awesome.
01<@DS> <Ren> Fun
01<@DS> <Ren> So where should we start lookin
01<@DS> *Taiga covers the hybrid up and Taiga heads to the bridge*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "An excellent question. Where would any Chad Winters stash such a being?"
01<@DS> <Taiga> I think we may have a problem in the locating department
01<@DS> <Taiga> When we were here last all the worlds were connected
<@Seraphna> Si> Well it’s Chad. So he’s either sitting on it or he put it somewhere he thinks people are too stupid to look.
01<@DS> *Taiga brings up scans she had been doing and shows that time has passed again - many of those worlds seem to have been deserted*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...where have all the people gone?"
01<@DS> <Taiga> We can land on one of the deserted worlds and see if we can't find out
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Its a start."
01<@DS> *Taiga prepares a shuttle; Kitty and Maya climbing inside along with Ren*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *boards the shuttle*
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan and Si board**
01<@DS> <Maya> ... *brings out a tiny harp and begins to play music for the group as they depart down to the world*
01<@DS> *as they get closer a dome seems to have shattered and desert sands are encroaching into what was once liveable* <Kitty> You say this was once part of one civilization?
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "An entire city left exposed to the harsh condiitons of this world."
01<@DS> *Taiga lands them outside the dome and climbs out, practically sinking all the way into the sand*
01<@DS> *Ren shakes her head as she gets out, finding areas of the stone to stand on; the steps still rising above he sand here and there*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *steps out, using tendrils to keep herself above the sand*
01<@DS> *Kitty and Maya carefully spread out as they head for the dome*
<@Seraphna> **Si steps on sand glassing the surface as she does, then helps Taiga onto a safe patch**
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *moves for the domed city*
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan glides on stones and the sand performing some trick to do so**
01<@DS> *As they approach and are entering the dome, shadows begin to rise up all over the city, staring at them; the people holding what look to be make shift weapons. Suddenly, a figure leaps and crashes into the sand next to Si and Taiga, crashing so hard it makes a sand pit*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm?"
01<@DS> *the othre figures, all human, begin to rush forward as Ren, Kitty, and Maya scramble to find a fighting high ground*
01<@DS> *Dias rises from the sand pit that he made*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...how annoying." *waves with ehr hand, summoning ground tendrils to try to bind all the human attackers*
01<@DS> *the human attackers rage at Noire, spittle flying*
<@Seraphna> **Si uses a gout of flame to make a glass shield in their way**
01<@DS> *others sneak around her and swing sticks et her back*
01<@DS> *Dias zooms at Si and Taiga and aims to shatter it*
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Safe to say they’re infected? **she summons Wyrd and Truth, slicing but using Truth’s ability to negate death blows**
01<@DS> <Taiga> Dammit dammit
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "How dare you!" *tries to shadow port to higher ground*
<@Seraphna> **Si fuus and counters with a flaming bunny kick**
01<@DS> *Ren gets 15 or more and goes tumbling into a pit with them, using her powers once all of them crash into the pit, rising afterward panting with bite marks all over. Anoher tries to bite Noire and Dias leaps at Si and Taiga to bite them*
01<@DS> *Kitty and Maya falls into a secret passage and call for the others to follow*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *tries to use her tendrils to send the ones near her flying*
<@Seraphna> **Si avoids his teeth and sends a gout of flame at his face** Bad Dias!
01<@DS> *the humans groan laying on the ground and Dias smokes, hair burnt off as he begins to glow*
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan keeps going with two Angel Blades**
01<@DS> *Then claps his hands together sending a shockwave that begins to destroy buildings all around and sends Taiga flying*
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan blasts him with Light and Dark Magic beans.**
<@Seraphna> **Si leaps to catch Taiga**
01<@DS> *Dias turns to Kaelan*
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> You, I don’t hold back on. DEADLY MOONLIGHT! **she comes in with both swords wrapped in her powers**
01<@DS> *Dias marches forward as more of his skin and flesh seems to peel back, marching right at Kaelan and suddenly vanishes for a second, appearing right in her face and grabs it, then slams her into the sand*
01<@DS> *Taiga works her way with Si into the passager where Kitty went*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *raises a hand, forming a disc-shaped shadow port and then launches it at Dias, much like what she did to cut apart that eldritch mini-boss a while back*
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan turns to shadows and slides her way out, hoping others cover her to recover**
01<@DS> *As Kaelan slides out, she'd feel a slight bite on her bum; Dias oofs and goes flying from Noire's attack and lays still*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *follows through with the attack, trying to separate Dias' top from his bottom half*
01<@DS> *as Noire seemingly cuts Dias in half, she'd feel something tighten around her throat and get a large bite out of her upper arm; Dias' upper half hanging on with all his might*
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan is doubly confused as she wasn’t really corporeal to have a butt at that moment, but groans as she reforms, sending holy and moonlight into it to disinfect**
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *conjures Dark arms to try to grab Dias' upper half and try to rip it apart*
01<@DS> *Dias dissolves into sand*
<@Seraphna> **Kaelsn moves over and starts purifying the bite on Noire’s arm**
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...if this is cliche, Kaelan, this its transmitted via bite."
01<@DS> *meanwhile*
01<@DS> *Taiga and the others come across what looks to be mummified looking body of herself, then a console that looks to have been shut off for a long time*
<@Seraphna> Si> When did she go back?
01<@DS> <Taiga> Not sure. *she begins to work on the console. Ren sits in the corner, wrapping up her bites*
01<@DS> <Ren> Are these people vampires or something
<@Seraphna> Si> Zombies I think.
01<@DS> <Taiga> Alright, it looks like some decades ago, a few systems cut themselves off from the others due to Chad's actions. And they were drawing more and more to become independent
01<@DS> <Taiga> Clearly something "happened" as we can see. I imagine all the sysems have met an untimely demise. We won't have the full story unless we got a terminal or something. But -- I have where Chad's systems are located
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Kaelan, we should rejoin the others."
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan nods and leads her after them**
01<@DS> *she gets the location and looks around when Ren makes a girly scream along side MAya*
01<@DS> *Kitty moving over to check on it*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *goes with Kaelan*
<@Seraphna> **Si peers over and rushes to their defense assuming the reveal is a threat**
01<@DS> *the two would find themselves underground*
01<@DS> *standing in front of Ren and Maya is a giant mummy, lumbering forward*
01<@DS> *it seems part of this area contains relics and items* <Ren> Why the fuck is a mummy here!?
<@Seraphna> **Si sends a bout of flames at bandage man**
01<@DS> *The mummy begins to burn*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty opens a rift under the mummy
01<@DS> *then falls*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> burn somewhere else quietly
01<@DS> <Taiga> ... that works..... *As Noire and the others arrive, screaming is heard*
01<@DS> <Ren> Do mummies usually scream?
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...what is it now?"
01<@DS> *Ren dabs at her wounds*
<@Seraphna> Si> All they do is scream and moan.
01<@DS> <Taiga> Well, I have the information ... if we.. *she has to raise her voice over the pathethic noises from the mummmy* leave now
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmm...I killed Dias. So what exactly happened here?"
01<@DS> <Taiga> Address. Come on. *she steps back out into the sands, heading for the shuttle. As they approach it, however, it looks like someone smashed it with their fists*
01<@DS> <Maya> Are we.... stranded?
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...how annoying..."
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> But we killed the punchy dumbass.
01<@DS> *Taiga runs her hand through her white hair, then grabs a chunk like she might pull it out; a moment passes, then calls the ship to send in another one*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *waves a hand and sends small dark matter sphere around to make sure their aren't any waiting ambushes under the sand*
01<@DS> *the shuttle arrives a moment later without incident; wile there appears to be none, Noire would almost sense that she is being haunted*
01<@DS> *Taiga climbs into the shuttle*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty drags Maya
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm..." *glances around as she steps on to the shuttle*
01<@DS> <Maya> Coming coming~
01<@DS> *Taiga pulls Si in and then begins to lift off* Alright here's the game
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Need more purifying, Noire?
01<@DS> <Taiga> Chad looks to have set up everything in the Sol system. There might be other worlds connected still but right not we need to go to the Sol system
01<@DS> *now
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "..I sensed something...like a spirit. Not the Geyze sort of spirits, but perhaps like a yokai..."
01<@DS> <Maya> You mean that stuff is real?
01<@DS> *she looks up from her game*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *looks at Taiga* "Mmmmm...I'm probably haunted by this plane's Dias now."
01<@DS> <Taiga> Try not to get strangled by him until we can purify him
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Regardless...did the dtaa you recovered explain what exactly happened to cause this collapse?"
01<@DS> <Taiga> No. Just guess work. We'll see what we learn at Earth
01<@DS> -TIME HOP-
01<@DS> Location: Earth
01<@DS> *Earth on this highest plain is almost stiffling big brother, with cameras and police force all over the place. Sitting in a resturant, the group observes a man j-walk and the police force come down on him and drag him off*
01<@DS> *otherwise, it seems to be threat free. Rumor has it Xevil is stuffed in the museum*
01<@DS> *Ren scratches her bites* This place is boring. There are no ghosts here
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty carries over first aid kit
<@Seraphna> Si> What do you think of brains, Ren?
<Chaintan> <Kitty> stop scratching it
01<@DS> *Ren stops and eyes Si*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmmm...we went so high that we looped around and emerged in the static, unchanging cold of Dante's ninth cricle of hell."
01<@DS> <Taiga> Alright it looks like
<@Seraphna> Si> No zombie signs. Good.
01<@DS> <Taiga> Chad is the head of everything - he used Fate's power for a long time to ensure order until we took her back. There was rebellion from heroes like Dias and the others. Lets just say they lost. Since Fate is MIA again she might be here once more.
01<@DS> <Taiga> As far as our target, the hybrid. You won't believe where it might be
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm?"
01<@DS> *Ren mumbles and twitches ears, resisting rubbing her bites*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty sets about cleaning and disinfecting the bites
<Chaintan> <Kitty> does it hurt if I do....this?
01<@DS> <Taiga> Chad apparantly has a massive building complete with a casino, hotel; the hybrid is suppose to be inside the building. But the building is like the antithesis of what Chad has built here
01<@DS> <Taiga> It almost feels like a trap
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> It sounds like the antithesis of Chad.
01<@DS> *Taiga brings up the data of the hybrid being in the basement level*
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Our Chad’s idea of a paradise is probably a shack on an island somwhere, leading to a secret bunker filled with experiments.
01<@DS> <Maya> Wait..... why?
<@Seraphna> Si> In the finest traditions of mad scientists everywhere. He makes us proud.
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...I was going to say... a casion-hotelis an odd choice for his orderly and dying society."
01<@DS> <Taiga> It's probably there to lure people in
<Chaintan> <Kitty> makes sense
<@Seraphna> Si> My new Theory is a Nega-Chad.
01<@DS> <Taiga> ... **she shows the ads for a bunny girl, someone to do cards and so on*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Still... the fatc that we are remakring on how odd it is makes it a failure as a trap, even if we do go in... we won't be blundering unaware."
<@Seraphna> Si> Bunnygirls, so racist.
01<@DS> <Taiga> There's usually two layers to traps. Even obvious ones
01<@DS> <Taiga> Do we just do straight in or do we play along?
01<@DS> *Ren flexes her hands* Thanks Kitty
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Why don't we go to this museum first and see what's what, mmm?"
01<@DS> <Taiga> You know there's a countdown - the longer the hybrid is operational, the longer it can be in play
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Fair enough. Still... I hate going in blind."
01<@DS> <Ren> Tell you what
01<@DS> <Ren> Go sight seeing at the museum
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Mmm?
01<@DS> <Ren> I'll go with momma and scope the casino
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Are you certain?"
01<@DS> *Ren waves her hand and stands up, pulling Taiga along*
01<@DS> <Maya> So, do they stuff people?
<@Seraphna> **Si follows her family**
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan sighs** Let’s scout.
01<@DS> *Maya looks up from the Museum pamplet* Scout what?
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...mmmmm? I suppose it ight be more sensible to stay together. Banking on some clues in the museum is indeed a gamble."
<Chaintan> <Kitty> dont worry about it, lets just see if theres a good cafe in the Museum
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> I guess.
01<@DS> -SHIFT-
01<@DS> Location: Museum
01<@DS> *the museum is full of various bad guys over TAW history, stuffed up for display with little write ups of what they did and how long they operated\
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...they seriously taxidermied sentient beings...how...barbaric."
01<@DS> <Maya> Mmmhm. It could be worse; they might be frozen
01<@DS> *she eats her cheese cake*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Noire...the plaques have buttons
<Chaintan> 6*she too, has cheesecake
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Frozen I could deal with." *looks over* "Mmmmmm?" *presses a button*
01<@DS> *Xevil speaks in a skelator voice: I'll get you next time, Erevis!"
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Jaime might enjoy that one.
01<@DS> <Maya> By the way, we got a raffle to win a free plushie of one of the bad guys
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty presses another
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...oh...goody."
01<@DS> *Venerator tells kids not to do drugs*
<Chaintan> <Kitty>...I guess thats...good?
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> This feels like a bigger trap than the casino.
01<@DS> <Maya> I don't even know who these old guys are. Did they run around in colorful outfits like you all did?
01<@DS> *a section of the museum allows kids to make their own super villain or hero*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...indeed...let's go meet up with Ren and Taiga. I was hoping to learn something useful here, but no...this is pathetic."
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Colored… outfits?
<Chaintan> <Kitty> not always? half the time we wore whatever we showed up in
01<@DS> *Maya offers a bite of cheese cake*
01<@DS> *as they move to leave, for some reason they keep getting circled back to the giftshop again and again*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...the trap..."
<Chaintan> <Kitty> that or its forced lay out...
01<@DS> <Maya> ... *buys that t-shirt she was eyeing the first, second, and third time*
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> I must adapt this tech to my stores. **browses the plushies**
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *goes to grab a museum map*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty eyes the less than 1 credit odds and ends
01<@DS> *the map, in the end, somehow guides them out*
01<@DS> -SHIFT-
01<@DS> Location: Casino
01<@DS> *the group, not full of items from the museum, arrives at the casino; it seems to be the only one in the city*
01<@DS> <Maya> Betcha the house always wins
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Well yeah, only an idiot would run a casino that looses money
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Well it’s a casino.
01<@DS> *as they step inside,they would find Taiga in a bunny outfit along with Si, serving drinks*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...nani?"
01<@DS> <Maya> Undercover maybe>
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan muses, taking a drink off Taiga and checking her eyes**
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...let's hope so. Come on." *moves further in*
01<@DS> *Taiga looks distracted*
01<@DS> *not noticing her8
<Chaintan> <Kitty> Taiga?
01<@DS> *Taiga looks at Kitty, staring blankly then squints* <Taiga> Kitty?
<Chaintan> <Kitty'
<Chaintan> <Kitty> yeah?
01<@DS> <Taiga> ... *jerks and covers herself* ah!
01<@DS> <Taiga> .... *she leads the group off to the side* This way please
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty blinks and follows after
01<@DS> *snagging Si on the way*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *follows after Taiga*
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> So how’d that happen?
<Chaintan> <Kitty> I dunno, Taiga froze up and then started acting weird. Well, more weird
01<@DS> *Maya takes a seat and Taiga looks around* <Taiga> So uh, we uh looked into this place. You need a special card to get into the basement; the uh bodyguards *she motions at the elevators* have them. Ren grabbed them for us and we went to look. It's a major lab down there with a teleporter to who knows where. This place is a front, trap, you name it. It's probably connected to other places in this emppire of his
01<@DS> <Taiga> But we got caught down there and next thing I rememeber is serving drinks. I almost didn't recognize you, Kitty
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty squints
<Chaintan> <Kitty> so...Im going on a limb here and guess you were in like, cocktail girl outfits...of a certain kind
01<@DS> *Taiga coughs*
01<@DS> <Taiga> C-Clearly they put us in it
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmm...then it is fortunate that we went to the museum so that we all weren't captured... the museum was a letdown by the way."
<Chaintan> <Kitty> not entirely, the cheesecake from the cafe was nice
01<@DS> <Maya> I want more
01<@DS> <Taiga> I am worried about Ren, though
<Chaintan> <Kitty> did the bite change?
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm? Where is Ren?"
01<@DS> <Taiga> So far when I last saw her she was acting okay, but...
01<@DS> <Taiga> If the bite does have something to do with the rage that the hybrid can control, she is practically right near him
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmm...I see."
01<@DS> <Taiga> Here, follow me
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty nods and followsa
01<@DS> *she moves to the corner and looks up a vent way too high to reach then turns to Noire*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *follows*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *wiggles a finger and uses her tendrils to llift the group up*
01<@DS> *Taiga goes to grab her tools but then eyes her outfit*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> woaaah
01<@DS> *borrrows a tendril to open the vent*
01<@DS> <Maya> ... um, grandma. This normal?
<Chaintan> <Kitty> oh this is mild
<Chaintan> <Kitty> we can get VERY out there
01<@DS> *the vent is opened and Taiga begins to slide through it*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Everyone up."
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty goes in
<@Seraphna> **Si follows Taiga watching her in the bunny outfit**
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan slips in after them**
01<@DS> *the vents soon drop them off in the basement, where there are a lot of guards moving around in patrols. The basement seems to be almost like another world with how it's designed.*
01<@DS> *Taiga kneels and draws a map* The teleport system is in the upper left corner of the floor, along with strange weapons; they can send people from here or have reinforcements come into the basement. The weapons I do not know what they can do, so becareful. The hybrid is in the center of this place and is made of progenitor and dark ones, so take note of that
01<@DS> <Taiga> Do we have any plans for a quick kill and escape?
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...you are asking that now?"
01<@DS> <Taiga> If I thought we had the firepower, I'd drop the entire building on him
01<@DS> <Taiga> Actually
01<@DS> <Taiga> We might
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "If we had the time, I could have conjured a Dark Storm like I did at the centerpoint fragment."
01<@DS> *Taiga turns to Kitty*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> just show me the building
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> I could always fill the place with a dark miasma that would eat them all up.
01<@DS> <Taiga> I'll guide Kitty to point A here. *she points at the teleporter* And her ripples should be enough to take out the support beams here
01<@DS> <Taiga> Noire - can you do the same here. *She points at another corner of the building*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Getting there is the only hard part. Bringing them down would be easy."
01<@DS> <Taiga> Okay, Kaelan, you do the same on the other corner - Si, I need you to find Ren
<@Seraphna> **Si nods and bunny tracks**
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan makes her way to her corner**
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *heads for her corner*
01<@DS> *Taiga leads Kitty along*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> I hope we can be quick, it'll be Maya's nap soon
<Chaintan> 6*she teases
01<@DS> *Maya sniffs* Remind me not to share the extra cheese cake I hid away
<Chaintan> <Kitty> see its not nice when youre getting it!
01<@DS> *Taiga tugs at her bunny tail as they approach large burly guards with weapons, guarding the teleporter*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty looks over the guards and area
<Chaintan> <Kitty>...maybe i can put them somewhere for a little...
01<@DS> *Maya grabs one of the plushies she got* <Taiga> You got idea?
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty looks to Maya
01<@DS> *Maya tosses the plushie toward the corner where it makes a squeak sound. The guards all rush to it in a rage, and look ready to tear it apart*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty ripples them into the teleporter and hits up
<Chaintan> 6*kitten then ripples the plush back to Maya's arms
01<@DS> *Maya holds it*
01<@DS> <Taiga> Alrigh, while we have time. The longer we remain here, the more the hybrid's rage will start to get to us too
01<@DS> *Taiga places markers down near the wall and the teleporter for Kitty to go wild*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty wiggles her fingers and starts opening ripples
01<@DS> *Maya watches as the building begins to break apart like Red Faction. Taiga nods and begins to back up the way they came, tapping somthing to make sure the Striker is ready*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty pets Maya
<Chaintan> <Kitty> we'll get more cheesecake on the way home
01<@DS> *the other areas at the same time finish their sections as Taiga arrives at the elevator to go up; Si arrives with Ren and Kaelan arrives as well*
01<@DS> <Maya> That sounds... nice grandma. *she sounds worried with the building coming down*
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Let’s get going. It’s like really angry sex in here.
01<@DS> <Taiga> Kaelan. Warp us out now
<@Seraphna> Si> Ren’s a bit out of it.
01<@DS> *Ren tries to bite Si*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty covers Maya's ears and glares at Kaelan
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *dopeslaps Ren* "Get it together."
01<@DS> *Maya just reddens and looks to side* .....
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan warps them**
01<@DS> *they appear outside the casino as it begins to collapse and appears to be no more. The Striker's shuttle hovers nearby*
01<@DS> <Taiga> .... well. *she sits on a bench* That's that. We did it
<Chaintan> <Kitty> for real for real?
01<@DS> <Taiga> Let me go scan
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Let's evac as soon as possible. That ahd to get someone's attention.
01<@DS> *Taiga steps over to the debris and begins to scan it while motioning at the shuttle*
01<@DS> *Ren still strains against Si*
01<@DS> <Taiga> Well, I am not picking up anything in the debris. *she turns around and at that moment like Freiza, something shoots through Taiga and drops her, the Progenitor/Dark One lumbering forward. It begins to gather another hyperspace energy bolt teaming with dark one energy and aims it at Noire*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Help Taiga!" * *tries smashing it aside with a conured Dark Arm*
<Chaintan> <Kitty> damnit! Taiga!
01<@DS> *the hybrid slowly begins to fill them with some sort of rage, ifit fills up it'll cause them to attack each other*
01<@DS> *Taiga seems to be between coughing up fluids and cursing* Stupid not having armor on
<@Seraphna> **Si grabs Taiga and uses all her regen to keep her alive while Kaelan and Truth heal her**
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty forms a ripple in its middle to tear it apart
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *sumons more Dark Arms and tries to pummel it with multiple punches*
01<@DS> *The hybrid flies apart*
<@Seraphna> **Truth goes a bit white as she starts rebuilding Taiga’s body where the hole was**
01<@DS> *the pummeling slowing down it's reattachment*
01<@DS> *Ren seems to have calmed down a bit at the sight*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *manipulates the Darm Arms to try grabbing the pieces of the hybrid and pulling them further apart*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty looks up on whats taking the shuttle
01<@DS> *Taiga slowly begins to move better with all the healing and begins to tinker with hr datapad*
<@Seraphna> **Si is almost comatose in concentration while Kaelan and Truth put all their tricks together**
01<@DS> *Taiga slowly seems to be positioning the shuttle, and arming the missles*
01<@DS> *however, it seems she's doing it with one hand*
01<@DS> *the hybrid while it's being bulled around, tried to eat Noire*
01<@DS> *Ren lifts Si up and moves her over to Maya*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *tries kicking it in the jaw while keepign it pieces apart*
<@Seraphna> **Si fuus**
<@Seraphna> **Kaelsn holds the datapad for Taiga in tendrils**
01<@DS> *Taiga brings the shuttle to land, missiles prepped to fire*
01<@DS> <Taiga> Thanks. Hit that button when Noire is clear
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty scoops up Maya and moves closer to the shuttle
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *starts trying to back away while holding the hybrid pieces in place*
01<@DS> *the hybrid is finally seems to stop moving in Noire's teeth*
01<@DS> *Ren gets Si onto the shuttle and Taiga seems to slowly be passing out*
<Chaintan> 6*Kitty climbs into the shuttle
01<@DS> *Maya holds onto Kitty as the two get aboard; Ren takes the shuttle controls*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *backs toward the shuttle*
01<@DS> <Ren> we're taking off as soon as Noire is aboard
<@Seraphna> **Kaelsn Carries Taiga on and Truth helps**
01<@DS> *Ren fires the missiles and blows up the hybrid from Noire*
01<@DS> <Ren> Book it, Noire
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *climbs into the shuttle at that and hits the button to close the door* "Go!"
01<@DS> *The shuttle flies off toward the Striker in space and quickly docks*
01<@DS> <Maya> ... this happen often?
01<@DS> <Maya> If so, you all should retire
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...it happens all the time."
01<@DS> *Ren shifts to transfer the wounded to medical*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *heads for the bridge* "...we need to get the Striker to safety."
01<@DS> *as Noire heads to the bridge, she would see a message about someone having entered the ship while they were gone*
01<@DS> *and they are still there*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *comm* "Team, we have a possible intruder on board."
01<@DS> <Ren> Great and most of our people are recovering. Lets go find them
01<@DS> *Ren heads out with Maya and soon on comms a girly scream is heard*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *runs internal sensors*
01<@DS> *Ren seems to have been taken down by a kitsune*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *comm* "Team, home on Ren's location."
01<@DS> <Ren on comm> No need. Coming to you
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan leaps out of Ren’s shadow with Truth in hand… then pauses**
01<@DS> *Ren is being held up by Lorelei*
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "...what?"
01<@DS> <Lorelei> Hello~
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Lorelei?"
01<@DS> *Lorelei sets Ren down* <Lorelei> We were told that everyone might need help; I gave some assistance to the PAX but I got worried about you all
<@Jackieness> <Noire> *tries setting a course away from Earth* "...it was a typical Striker mission."
01<@DS> *Lorelei nods; as they begin to get away, the engines begin to act up and stall out*
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan sighs** Looks like you’re in time to get our engines fixed Mom.
01<@DS> <Lorelei> You think highly of me
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Of course I do. You’re my Angel Momma.
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Ren, engine troubles."
01<@DS> *Ren studies the engines*
01<@DS> <Ren> IT looks like it's trying to choke out the hyperspace engines. We can use the others. Lightspeed will be unbearably slow. The light engines will be a little hard to predict
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "As for the mission, Lorelei, we believe that we have taken out the Hybrid. Hopefully its permanent."
01<@DS> <Lorelei> Odd hyperspace is the one acting up
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Mmmmmm...I don't like it...smacks of Progenitor manipulation. Who knows...mayeb the Hybrid has already recovered, or some of the Progenitors have joined Chad."
01<@DS> *Ren begins to get it routed so they can go* If it is in the engines, I'm sure mom has some plan. Sadly, I'm not privvy to it
01<@DS> <Ren> Unless we want to blow the ship up
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Just see what you cna do. Light speed should eb good enough to get us out of the Sol system at least."
01<@DS> *Ren nods; few moments later, they are lightspeeding away*
01<@DS> <Lorelei> Alright, if we want to meet up with the others. *she gives Ren an address*
01<@DS> <Ren> *to the others* Anything else you feel we should do before we set out?
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Truth and I will try to get her up fast.
<@Jackieness> <Noire> "Yes, get Taiga up... we need her plan. we'll stay at fTL until we hit the Oort Cloud, then we'll hide among the planetary dwarvess, That shoudl buy us time to get the hyperdrive repaired."
01<@DS> <Ren> Okay then. *she keeps Lore's address pinned for now* Lets do it
01<@DS> *Ren turns on some country music as they fly along*
01<@DS> <Lorelei> Hm. *her tails wag* You all continue to amuse
01<@DS> <Lorelei> I'll see what I can do around the ship until time. *she putters off*

01<DS> (mew)
01<DS> *Ren sprawls out on the bridge, spinning a chair*
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan dangles a snack over her**
01<DS> *Ren opens her mouth*
<@Seraphna> **Kaelsn drops it in**
01<DS> *Ren chews, a single tail wag occuring*
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan gives her more**
01<DS> *Ren continues to eat and stretches out, shifting onto her back and looking relaxed, tails curling around her*
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> How’re you feeling puppy?
01<DS> <Ren> Tired. Making sure mom is okay from the bridge, but I think the others overhealed her so much she should be fine, even with the damage done to the heart/chest.
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> I may have used a bit of raw divinity there. It collects in me being with so many goddesses.
01<DS> <Ren> I'll be sure to send her to thank all of you personally
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Mmhmm~ **feeds her more** She’s a friend, as are you~
01<DS> *Ren chews and looks pleased, fluffing tails*
<@Seraphna> Kaelan
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> I might even help Noire one day.
01<DS> *Ren's tails tease Kaelan* You two tease each other due to liking each other
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Well I know I like her. **puffs cheeks**
01<DS> *Ren reaches up and teases cheeks*
02* Quits: Chaintan (Chaintan@c-24-4-58-115.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) (Remote host closed the connection)
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Mrrr, well I guess we can keep her.
01<DS> <Ren> *opens mouth*
<@Seraphna> **Kaelan feeds her more**
01<DS> *Ren snuggles*
01<DS> <Maya> ... what is going on here?
<@Seraphna> Kaelan> Hot loving snack eating.
01<DS> *Ren noms*
01<DS> <Maya> ... uh huh *wanders by* Old people
