* Chain has joined #DualSession120
<DeathStar> Location: Presidental Tower
<DeathStar> 6* The various leaders of the Corporations are gathered in the Presidental Tower, waiting on the missions to begin. Tora has set up a command center.
<DeathStar> 6* The next two spirits have been made and are in the room along with Spring, the three new spirits playing along
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki sits, facing Asarar and Cypher. They are bringing up the Corporations, getting ready
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Okay, we have to get ready. Lets bring up which Corporation each of us are going to deal with
<Seraphna> * Luci muses, wondering about the information they gathered in the spirit grinding factory.
<Chain> 6*Wolfe beams as a happy poppa, even if they arent at all his children
<Seraphna> * Cookie nods, sitting by Yuki, wearing a bear hat.
<Sathen> *Kaylin stands quietly behind Cookie and Yuki*
<kalonZombie> 6*Max sits with Luci, while offscreen Jan huffs since Wolfe won't be an actual dad
<DeathStar> 6* Sen brings up a screen, showing a map of Kumen City
<Sathen> *Jelly sits quietly in front of Luci, petting his tail with one hand while idly working on some code*
<DeathStar> <Sen> The first Corporation is Star Corps. Run by a Cloud Starkiller, a Dragoon. Likely she will get involved the second the group enters the HQ and goes to enter the shutdown code.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki sips her tea while Kitty shows Gor the sprites
<DeathStar> <Sen> We have to decide which group will be bestto deal with her
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki muses, knowing they will have to weaken one team to deal with the third Corporation unless they bring up Miyuki's students
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor plays with the sprites
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Dividing might not be such a good idea... at least whichever group goes to tackle that one."
<DeathStar> 6* Twilight peers around, holding Ylva's hand, so far not seeing Ymir at the meeting
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I'm a dragoon, so maybe Erica's group should handle it. *she peers at Erica*
<Chain> <Miyuki> would my students even be effective here?
<Sara> * Erica ponders, biting her thumb a little. "I can take care of anyone. Heh."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We'll take care of this one, Auntie
<Seraphna> Cookie> "I am too... though I'm not sure I can transform without Little."
<DeathStar> *Sen brings up the next one*
* Retrieving #DualSession120 modes...
<Chain> <Miyuki> Yuki, you realize it is better to be over prepared instead of over stretched
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Expertise in Dragoons could sitll help."
<Seraphna> * Luci muses.
<Chain> <Miyuki> plus I am sure Shion would love to exercise some stress out
<Seraphna> Luci> "Well, even bringing in Miyuki's team, each group has at least one Dragoon in it."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Yeah, but since I'm a Dragoon
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I'm best to handle this one. Trust us, Auntie
<Chain> <Miyuki> alright
<DeathStar> <Sen> Biotech Corporation. It's run by an Aurit named Caesune Guane. This place will have a lot of chemicals. We have no information on if Caesune is a fighter.
<Seraphna> Luci> *raises a brow and sits back*
<DeathStar> <Sen> It will be hard to predict how Caesune will act, but given she's already rebelled, she could do something drastic
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leans forward, fingers steepled
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We'll take this
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If we have to shut down computers, Tech-Runners are best
<Sathen> *Jelly looks to Asarar, figuring she's about to volunteer them* Guessing we'll have to take control over the systems
<Seraphna> Luci> "We tend to be unorthodox ourselves I suppose."
<DeathStar> <Sen> *flips to the last one, Ani-Mon*
<Chain> 6*Miyuki leans forward, all nine tails wriggling
<DeathStar> <Sen> Ani-Mon of course controls the Red Light District as well as VR. Their race is unknown even to us
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Too bad we're taking Biotech. Ani-Mon hits close to home."
<DeathStar> <Sen> Drek Hi'um and his wife Sicil Hi'um run this one
<Seraphna> Luci> "MIght be best, if we screw up there's less pressure on us."
<Sara> <Chelsea> Well, we only have two teams of people we're splitting among this stuff.
<DeathStar> <Sen> Their profiles are completely unknown
<Seraphna> Cookie> "What about Miyu's team?"
<Sara> * Chelsea gives Miyuki just a passing glance and then shrugs
<Chain> 6*Miyuki makes a face, ice forming
<Seraphna> * Cookie blinks.
<kalonZombie> <Max> Did it just get cold in here?
<Chain> <Miyuki> indeed...what about myteam
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki shakes
<DeathStar> <Yuki> C-cold
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Well you seemed to be suggesting them for the first corp we went over..."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If you feel it is too risky for them to take on Ani'Mon Corp we can split my team
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar gazes over her people
<Sathen> Kaylin> If Yuki and the Captain think they can deal with their target, I could divert to assist at another location.
<Sara> <Chelsea> I guess if this Shion person wants to help, more warm bodies, though
<Sara> * She says, using odd wording
<Chain> 6*Miyuki hmphs
<Chain> <Miyuki> well I was told that Yuki could handle it without any of my assistance
<Seraphna> Cookie> "I-I think she just meant to handle that one corp..."
<Sara> <Chelsea> Whatever. I'm not very good at the net, myself. If you need people at Ani-Mon, maybe I should go.
<Chain> <Kitty> you insulted her pride =A= just pet her and she'll behave
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I do not have time to coddle people
<Seraphna> * Cookie leans over and carefully pets Miyu.
<Chain> 6*Kitty pats Asarar
<Seraphna> * Luci pats Max.
<Sathen> *Kaylin smiles and silently thanks Cookie for saving their collective asses from an upset Miyuki*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *she does a count in her head, as if dividing Erica's team and her own to make a third*
<Sathen> *Jelly just pets his tail*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "We need to make a decision."
<Chain> <Miyuki> well I'll ask my precious pumpkin if she wants to
<Chain> <Miyuki>otherwise it seems you are all capable
<kalonZombie> 6*Max purrs as Luci pets him
<Seraphna> Cookie> "I-I don't think additional strength can hurt, especially over something so critical. And if Miyu trained them they are heroes."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki messages Shion
<DeathStar> <Shion on comm> Yes?
<kalonZombie> <Gor> This is true. Many of my family are heroes.
<Sara> * Erica glances around at everyone, eyes darting gradually from person to person
<kalonZombie> 6*He says this like it excludes him
<Chain> <Miyuki> Shion, my precious, would you like to come up and handle some hands on business?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar seems annoyed still, but rises, pacing
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Didn't you help save the universe Gor?"
<DeathStar> <Shion on comm> If you need something. But I'd have to be picked up. No transportation.
<Sara> * Chelsea looks at Asarar with some concern
<Chain> <Miyuki> I'll have you picked up
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Uh... I don't like bragging...
<Chain> 6*the room de-ices
<Sara> <Erica> I think we've all saved the universe in some way or another
<DeathStar> <Shion on comm> Bring extra comm batteries
<Seraphna> * Luci frowns a bit and sits back. "Either way, we have butt to kick."
<Sara> <Erica> But we do need to stop mulling and start some planning
<Sara> * Erica rolls out a bunch of guns
<Sara> <Erica> Savvy?
<Chain> <Miyuki> and take anyone you feel needs to be weed---I mean, you trust to assist you
<DeathStar> 6* Henry II finishes talking to Cam'dee, turning to face her
<Chain> <Miyuki> kisses <3
<Seraphna> Luci> "Well you seem to have covered the ammo portion of our needs."
<Chain> 6*Miyuki ends the comm
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Unfortunately, the planning part is mostly at an end. We've been planning for the last 3 days and we couldn't hack the blueprints
<Sara> <Erica> By "planning" I really meant "doing".
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Yes, to enter the shutdown code, we just have to get into the building and find a terminal
<Sara> * Erica notes seriously
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Unfortunately there can be no doing until the third team gets here. *She smiles sweetly*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We all have to enter the code at the same time
<Seraphna> Luci> "Ugh, here I thought we just needed to get close."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Or the other corps might stop us
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Hey, there's tons of terminals in the building
<Sathen> *Jelly looks back to his datareader and closes up another toy he has made*
<Sara> * Erica gives a frown and keeps her mouth shut, fidgeting with her weapon
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It won't be too hard
<DeathStar> <Yuki> The timing is what will be tricky. *she holds up a watch*
<Seraphna> Luci> "Okay, so knock in a wall and get to a terminal."
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Is there a team that still needs a hacker?
<Sathen> Kaylin> Who is going to transport Shion and her team from Geyze?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Once we set out, we will all input the code at this time. *She holds a watch that has an hour countdown that will go off*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We'll send a shuttle down now
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Academy
<DeathStar> 6* Shion walks to a shuttle that has landed, with Samson in it leaning back. She steps in, leaving instructions that Isis is in charge
<Seraphna> * Alita shoulders her staff and follows, musing to herself.
<Chain> 6*the cubs mew a cheer for their big sister
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia follows Alita, sticking her wand in her clevage pocket
<Sathen> *Mykel moves along next to Alita*
<Seraphna> * Talia rides in splendor on Mykel's head.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *sighs as she walks with her team toward the shuttle*
<Sathen> *Maeryn stares on while holding the whelping* Hell no...I am *not* going to another planet thank you very much.
<DeathStar> 6* Shion sits in the shuttle, then eyes everyone coming, leaning back, peering at Sasha
<DeathStar> <Shion> If you don't want to come, why are you coming?
<Sara> * Liana is absent; Ellie is there, but she's all puffy-cheeked huffy
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "If my team goes, I go. The political ramifications do weigh upon my mind."
<DeathStar> 6* Celes massages Liana, naked
<DeathStar> 6* Shion leans back with her staff, shrugging.
<Sara> * Liana eats grapes
<Sathen> *Mykel moves to take a seat, setting Talia in a seat between him and Alita; Maeryn continues standing outside and watching*
<DeathStar> <Shion> And here I thought you wanted the gold star I was offering
<Seraphna> * Talia wiggles.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia sits next to Alita, used to being ignored by her husband by now
<Seraphna> Alita> *checks her mana crystal is full and sighs a bit*
<Sathen> *Mykel pinches Ceilia's butt and winks*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *steps inside* "I have made arrangements that Liana be... preoccupied. I have no desire for my niece to lose one of her parents."
<DeathStar> 6* Samson powers the shuttle up and begins to lift off
<kalonZombie> 6*How can he do that when she's two seats away?
<DeathStar> <Shion> So thoughtful. *she opens her case and pins gold stars to everyone*
<Sathen> *The mysteries of Mykel is how*
<DeathStar> <Shion> You are such good students. Here's one for you, and one for you, and one for you
<Seraphna> * Alita looks proud.
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph peeks out from under Ellie's hat, getting one on her face
<Seraphna> Talia> "Talia adds to collection of shinies!" *she sets it next to her many artifacts of power, or trinkets, you decide*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia puts hers smack dab in the middle of her forehead
<Sara> * Ellie jerks, wondering to herself if it's okay for Sylph to go, but just glances up
<Sathen> *Maeryn just shakes her head in wonderment at them all happily getting on a shuttle like that* Crazy...
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle flies off
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Aquarius
<DeathStar> 6* As the shuttle arrives, the other two teams have moved to the Aquarius, which is overhead in the city. Yuki watches Shion and the others get off
<DeathStar> 6* Tora appears on a screen on the Aquarius computers
<Chain> 6*Miyuki hugs Shion and purrs
<Seraphna> * Alita waves to them. Talia paws.
<Chain> <Miyuki> my little pumpkin
<Seraphna> Talia> "Never fear Headmistress, Tali here!"
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia waves
<DeathStar> <Tora> The presidents have given us each of their shutdown codes and I've added mine. We're sending them to your data-readers and your datapads, depending on where you come from
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Hello Headmistress!
<DeathStar> 6* Shion hugs Miyuki
<Sathen> *Mykel moves to join them, looking around slightly*
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki looks at her datareader, nodding
<Sathen> *Kaylin looks at Shion as she gets off the shuttle and smiles slightly*
<DeathStar> <Tora> You'll each take a shuttle to your location. In one hour, each of you will enter your shutdown code string into a terminal. Not a second before or less.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar lets out a breath
<Seraphna> * Luci peers at hers and nods a bit, while Cookie leans on Yuki.
<Sara> <Erica> Well, this is gonna be one heck of a red letter day, eh. *she says with a slight hint of sarcasm*
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki pats Cookie
<DeathStar> <Tora> Good luck
<Sathen> *Jelly looks at his 'reader and nods slightly before hoisting his pack*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar waves her team into her shuttle, while Yuki hops into Erica's team's shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* Shion walks back into their shuttle, Samson going to be their pilot
<DeathStar> <Shion> So, you going to update us mom?
<DeathStar> 6* Shion peers down at her datapad, as the code comes in
<Chain> 6*Wolfe moves after Asarar as Miyuki nods to Shion, as she brings them up to speed
<Sathen> *Jelly follows behind Asarar closely, Mykel returns to his seat and pinching Ceilia as he passes her, Kaylin moves to join the rest of her crew on their shuttle*
<DeathStar> 6* At that moment, they all see the Presidents on their side, minus Ymir, get onto the Holovids, talking about the new spirits and urging the citizens to turn away from the rogue ones
<Seraphna> * Luci follows Asarar as Cookie follow Yuki.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *climbs into the shuttle*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Sara> <Erica> <Can't believe we've got a Geyze team here now too. Feels like it's gone a bit mad. But all the more reason we cannot fail.>
<kalonZombie> 6*Max follows Asarar, Ceilia smiles at Mykel, and Gor heads with the Aquarius team
<DeathStar> Location: Team Erica
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki pilots the shuttle, heading northward
<Chain> 6*Kitty settles in, snuggling her sprites
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor rubs the sprites heads
<DeathStar> 6* She peers at a monitor of the speeches from Tora and the other Presidents as they get closer
<Sathen> *Kaylin looks over and headtilts at Kitty rejoining them*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> So, do you want to try for a roof landing and hope we can get smash our ward downward to a terminal?
<DeathStar> *Way
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Seems like a plan."
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki tosses Gor the datapad with the codes
<Sara> <Erica> It's as good a smash as any
<Sathen> Kaylin> Tactically speaking, the higher up we are the closer to the CEO.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Hold onto this incase we have to hack a terminal
<Sara> <Erica> Plan, I meant plan
<Chain> <Kitty> Yuki, why smash when we could ripple
<DeathStar> <Yuki> True.
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Gives me more time to try and get into the system at least
<Sathen> Kaylin> Welcome back Kitty.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Between Gor and myself, their network defenses will crumble."
<DeathStar> 6* The sprites bounce and dance in the shuttle
<Chain> 6*Kitty nods to Kaylin
<DeathStar> 6* At 50 minutes remaining, Yuki touches down on the roof and steps out
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor steps out
<Sara> * Erica gets out with a little hop
<Sathen> *Kaylin pulls out her Assault Rifle and follows*
<DeathStar> 6* 10 mechs teleport instantly onto the roof, and fire at them
<Chain> <Kitty> ok you guys, settle down and nap and dont let anyone see you. I'll be back
<Chain> 6*she pets them before going out and deadpanning at the mechs
<Seraphna> Cookie> *hops out after her, peering about and letting her attack reader lv. 1 warn her so she can leap to the side, she starts firing her guns at one of them*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Jesus. *she jerks as the shuttle begins to get hit*
<Sara> * Erica rolls out of the way
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor leaps out of the way, bringing out a datapad to try and hack into them
<Sara> <Erica> We've got company.
<Sathen> *Kaylin leaps to the side and fires at Mech1
<Jackieness> <Airym> *takes cover with Gor and attempts to assist him with her own computing resources*
<DeathStar> 6* The mechs march forward, the shuttle beginning to spark. The sprites fly out in a panic. Gor hacks into one mech
<kalonZombie> 6*He uses the mech to fire at another mech
<Chain> 6*Kitty reels and summons a Holy Arrow volley to pin the mechs
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki jerks as the shuttle explodes, the force making her roll off the roof; she grabs on, peering 80 floors down. Another mech is destroyed by Kaylin and the taken over mech firning into it
<Chain> <Kitty> Sprites! get Yuki
<DeathStar> 6* The Holy Arrows do damage, being magical damage to non-magic enemies
<Seraphna> * Cookie uses an Up Your Sleeve shot to shoot another mech. (7 HP)
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor keeps using the mech he's hacked into to fire at other mechs
<Sara> * Erica uses her Flashing Fists to increase her speed (+3 for 3 Turns+), rushing to help Yuki
<Sathen> *Kaylin pulls her SMG and dual wields, firing at two Mechs simultaneously with both the rifle and the smg*
<DeathStar> 6* The sprites pick Yuki up, floating her up. Yuki turns into a giant fox and crushes a mech, leaving 8 hostile ones. Then turns back, landing in Erica's arms.
<DeathStar> 6* Cookie and Kaylin blow u8p amother, but the remaining 7 fire missiles at the group, one flying at each person
<Jackieness> <Airym> *uses her sensors to try to detect weaknesses in the opposing mechs*
<DeathStar> 6* The mech's weaknesses appear to be their heads
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Aim for their heads."
<Chain> 6*Kitty braces, forming a ripple to send it back at the mech
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor leaps away, trying to fire his own missile at one of the mech's heads
<Sara> * Erica gently sets Yuki down with a smile before she moves to jump-kick at a mech's head -- double-jumping if she absolutely has to
<Seraphna> * Cookie uses Coin Trick to shoot hers down before it reaches her.
<Seraphna> (Cancels ranged attack)
<kalonZombie> 6*The missile of his mech, that is
<Jackieness> <Airym> *tries to override the missle control and send it back to the mech that fired it*
<Sathen> *Kaylin fires her SMG to shoot the missile in the air*
<DeathStar> 6* The mechs jerk and several blow up, leaving 4
* Seraphna fires at another's head with both her guns.
<Seraphna> * Cookie
<DeathStar> 6* The 3 remaining bad mechs fly up into the air and try to land on the team, aiming at Erica, Cookie, and Kaylin
<Sara> <Erica> If you mechs know what's good for you, you won't fucking do that.
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor has his mech concentrate fire at one's head
<Chain> 6*Kitty fires another volley at them
<Sara> * Erica uses her Dodge Roll move this time, which cancels an attack
<Seraphna> * Cookie uses Mirror Image to creats a copy and runs away from her location.
<Sathen> *Kaylin dives to the side and rolls, shooting at the head with her rifle*
<DeathStar> 6* The three miss and are destreoyed, leaving Gor's
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Dammit
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes the flaming wreckage on the roof
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Whoo... well we're up one mech. Use it to knock on the door?"
<DeathStar> 6* The sprites do a victory dance
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki sniffles for their shuttle
<Chain> 6*Kitty pets the sprites
<Sathen> *Kaylin stows her smg and takes aim at the last mech* Either that or I can blow it in.
<Sara> <Erica> No element of surprise, but we've gotta use whatever elements we still have. No time to mourn -- later. Let's move.
<Chain> <Kitty> you did a very good job
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Well... Yuki, we're living up to our parent's legacy."
<Jackieness> <Airym> "We can reconstruct an improved shuttle."
<kalonZombie> <Gor> We have a friend at least
<DeathStar> 6* The pilot in the mech sniffles
<DeathStar> <Pilot> I am not paid enough to be trapped
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Mission begins with a destroyed shuttle."
<Chain> <Kitty> we could also steal a shuttle
<kalonZombie> 6*He pats his mech, then has the mech reach in and pull the pilot out
<Sara> <Erica> Mate, stick with us and I'll buy you a drink
<Sara> * She nods
<DeathStar> <Pilot> Haaalp haaalp
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Mind if I take that?
<DeathStar> 6 Yuki walks to the door to the stairs down
<Sara> * Erica looks for the way to go in proper
<DeathStar> <Pilot> N-no
<Sathen> Kaylin> You could always defect and join us for better pay.
<kalonZombie> 6*He climbs into the mech
<DeathStar> <Pilot> All yours
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Thanks
<Seraphna> Cookie> *follows Yuki*
<Chain> 6*Kitty follows after Yuki with the sprites
<Sara> * Erica moves after Yuki, gesturing to the others
<Jackieness> <Airym> "You wear it well, Gor."
<Sathen> *Kaylin follows after Yuki, eyeing the door*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> .oO( Why Gor would get into mechs that blow up that easily...)
<kalonZombie> 6*He puts the pilot down gently and follows them
<DeathStar> *the pilot sits down*
<Jackieness> <Airym> *turns and moves down with the others*
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki kicks in the door and hops back in case of explosions, sees none, and runs down the stairs, with them having 45 mins left
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Asarar's Team
<kalonZombie> <Max> I'm bored. When do I get to hit things with my sword?
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar flies her shuttle around the Biotech HQ
<Sathen> *Jelly mumbles softly about 'crazy crap' and 'death defying stupidity'*
<DeathStar> 6* Musing
<Seraphna> Luci> "Soon?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Thinking. *the timer says 45 minutes remaining*
<Chain> <Wolfe> a better question is when will you stop hugging me Max
<kalonZombie> <Max> You've been thinking for a quarter of the time
<kalonZombie> <Max> ...That's not me, Wolfe.
<Sara> * Chelsea gives Jelly a fox tail plushie to calm his spirits
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Fine
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar flies straight at the HQ
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hold on
<kalonZombie> <Max> WHOOOOO!
<Seraphna> Luci> "U-Umm.... Asa... you know Max is always impatient... ieeeee!:
<DeathStar> 6* She hits a few buttons, firing missiles at the side of it
<Sathen> *Jelly pets it...then looks up and squacks* WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!
<Chain> 6*Wolfe yawns
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Because Max being bored is how we should base our plans on..."
<Sara> <Chelsea> No, probably most of us are not going to die that much... I think
<Sara> * She sounds unconvinced
<Seraphna> * Luci reflexively forms her Armor Lv. 1 and grumbles.
<Chain> <Wolfe> well Chel, at least we raised a good daughter?
<Sathen> Jelly> We're gonna die painful and bloody, gruesome deaths! *whimpers*
<DeathStar> 6* The side of the HQ shatters, leaving glass shattering and falling down below, and alarms going off, and the defenses on the building activating and looking about, but Asarar has already flown around to the other side and smashed into another floor
<Sara> <Chelsea> ...Yeah
<DeathStar> 6* Crashing into an office of a startled employee, who looks at them
<Sara> * Chelsea braces for impact, cringing
<kalonZombie> 6*Max pulls his sword out and steps out
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar pops the back open
<kalonZombie> <Max> This plan is awesome!
<Chain> 6*Wolfe walks down the ramp
<Seraphna> LUci> "Recommend you play dead, buddy." *she says as she leaps out the back and forms her Lv. 1 Shard Blade*
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher wobbbily steps out and down into the offices
<Sara> * Chelsea steps out, drawing her knives. "Hey, you! Leave. Now." she says to the employee
<Sathen> *Jelly wobbles as he clutches at Asarar* Please don't do that again Boss...
<DeathStar> 6* The employee runs off
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Well, we did knock."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar grabsb a few things, and blinks as the sprinklers comes on
<DeathStar> 6* A few other office employees flee, thinking terrorists are coming in
<Sara> <Chelsea> ... This is not how I planned to get wet today
<Sara> * She sighs
<DeathStar> <Cypher> You talk so dirty~
<Seraphna> Luci> "Well this will make it more fun."
<Jackieness> <Kira> *purses her lips as she walks through ther water* "We should have a wet night at the club."
<Sathen> *Jelly deadpans at Chel*
<Sara> <Chelsea> I wanted to take a shower when it was over!
<DeathStar> 6* Her breasts are a bit more see through now
<Chain> <Wolfe> lets handle the mission before we discuss wet teeshirt contests
<Sara> * Chelsea glances, but then starts walking along, knives at ready
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher walks along toward the stairs
<kalonZombie> 6*Max heads on out, trying to find the terminal, not even looking angry that he's wet
<Sathen> Jelly> I...er...I need an adult!
<DeathStar> 6* They find some terminals, but they are sparking
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Oops
<kalonZombie> <Max> Are there other terminals?
<Sara> <Chelsea> That's probably why they turned the sprinklers on too
<Seraphna> Luci> "Armor, protects the boobs." *she peers around looking for trouble, following* "Well we need to find a floor it's not raining in."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> One floor up
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Then we just need to protect it for the next forty minutes
<Jackieness> <Kira> *looks for shortcuts*
<kalonZombie> <Max> Can do.
<Seraphna> Luci> "Okay then."
<kalonZombie> 6*Max starts looking for stairs
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar gets into the stairs, then finds armored guards coming down
<Sara> * Chelsea eyes the damage for a hole up
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Shock troopers
<DeathStar> 6* She slams the door shut
<Sathen> Jelly> Once we get to a working terminal I can upload a few dozen toys...it should keep security from getting to us en masse.
<kalonZombie> <Max> I can take 'em.
<Seraphna> * Luci frowns and sighs. "Should we try going through the ceiling?"
<kalonZombie> <Max> Lemme take 'em.
<Chain> 6*Wolfe cracks his neck and knuckles
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Need to worry about the security that is coming for us now, en masse."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *She opens the door and pushes Max in and shuts the door*
<Seraphna> Luci> "H-Hey I need him for things!"
<Jackieness> <Kira> *just looks at Asarar* "Wow."
<Sathen> Jelly> Yeah, that I can't do anything about...that's your department Mrs. Angel.
<kalonZombie> 6*Max can be heard laughing manically as he moves to cut them
<DeathStar> 6* 10 heavily armored guards approach, wearing max armor and having large shock weapons that stun*
<Sara> * Chelsea burns a little perception looking for even a difficult alternate route
<Chain> <Wolfe> we are kinda on a time limit
<DeathStar> 6* Chelsea would see the roof has damage and could easily be damaged more
<Sara> <Chelsea> Hey, over here. Help me out.
<Sara> * She points at the weakest spot
<Chain> 6*Wolfe moves over to Chel
<Seraphna> * Luci leaps up and slices at the weakest spot.
<Seraphna> Luci> <Max don't overdo it those guards are well equipped!>
<DeathStar> 6* Enemy 1, 2, and 3 swing their weapons. 6 HP damage, plus stun. Either use OG to dodge stun damage or guess number between 1 and 3 to avoid stun
<Sathen> *Jelly moves off to one side so he doesn't get caught in an avalanche of steel and concrete*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "You know that Max is totally going to die in there, right?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If he screams I send in Wolfe
<Sara> * Chelsea cringes
<kalonZombie> 6*Max burns action points to avoid the damage. You can do that right?
<DeathStar> (Yes, 4 Actions points since they are high level, so 4 each, 12)
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Well, let's not let his sacrifice be in vain. Blow the ceiling."
<DeathStar> (Feel free to attack)
<DeathStar> (Better hit them hard)
<Sara> * Chelsea leaps at the roof and tries to bash it, though her poor little self isn't exactly great at that
<Chain> <Wolfe> nice to know I'm loved Boss
<Seraphna> * Luci does another leaping slash to form an X.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> You are my heavy hitters boys
<DeathStar> 6* The ceiling caves in
<DeathStar> 6* Leaving a nice ramp upward
<DeathStar> <Cypher> No screaming yet
<Seraphna> Luci> <Get ready to withdraw, we have a way up.>
<Chain> <Wolfe> ok, we have access
<Sara> <Chelsea> Convenient, I don't even have to climb up and throw down a rope. Guys, it's open
<Sathen> *Jelly looks up through the hole*
<Sara> * Chelsea moves to head up, knives drawn again
<Jackieness> <Kira> *heads up the 'ramp'*
<kalonZombie> 6*Max shifts into his hybrid form, giving himself +2 counter, then uses Warrios Sense Lv. Max, then uses Slash [17 HP damage to two enemies. Can be blocked each time if reflexes are 2. Can use Action Points x your reflexes to equal 2]
<Sathen> *Jelly follows after Kira*
<kalonZombie> 6*Using Slash on the weak points he finds from the Warrior Sense
<Seraphna> * LUci looks at the door Max is behind, helping the others up as she waits.
<DeathStar> 6* The enemies are heard screaming, dead
<DeathStar> 6* However, there is still 8 elites left
<Seraphna> Luci> <We're going up, withdraw.>
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Someone yank Max out
<kalonZombie> <Max> I AM AN ORANGE GOD OF WAR.
<Chain> 6*Wolfe moves to drag Max
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar runs up and so does Cypher
<kalonZombie> <Max> No! I was doing so weeeeeeeeeeeeell!
<Seraphna> * Luci heads up shield ready.
<Sathen> *Jelly starts looking for a terminal on the new floor*
<kalonZombie> 6*He's dragged away by Wolfe
<Seraphna> Luci> <Mister you follow the puppy or no sex for a week.>
<DeathStar> 6* There is office terminals up here as well
<Chain> <Max> shut it before I give your wife ideas
<kalonZombie> <Max> <But I killed two of them!>
<Sara> * Chelsea moves to find the stairway to the next floor, not planning to go up but just... to prepare
<Sathen> *Jelly moves to a terminal, looking at it quickly*
<Seraphna> Luci> "Okay, secure the doors, and we secure the hole."
<Sara> <Chelsea> Cy, you wouldn't happen to have any more bombs?
<DeathStar> 6* The stairway is over there. Asarar runs over and tries to block it. Cypher nods, planting it
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Good idea, we don't want the elite coming in here
<Sara> <Chelsea> No one said we need the place intact, so long as we get the job done
<DeathStar> *Asarar grabs a desk, preparing to push it down the ramp*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Is everyone up?
<Seraphna> * Luci waits for the others to come up, and preps to do away with the ramp.
<Sara> * Chelsea starts counting heads
<Chain> 6*Wolfe tosses Max up
<kalonZombie> <Max> They wouldn't be coming if a certain dog didn't drag me away 6*He grumbles, unaware just how close to death he actually was
<Jackieness> <Kira> *inspects the area, looking for additional entry points for the Biotech security*
<Seraphna> LUci> "Wolfe and Max are coming up."
<Sathen> *Jelly starts hacking the terminal to get access to their network*
<DeathStar> 6* The windows, possibily, the ceiling - they could come down*
<Chain> 6*Wolfe then climbs up after
<kalonZombie> 6*Max climbs up with Wolfe
<DeathStar> 6* It is a corporation terminal - he will need corporate mods*
<Seraphna> * Luci helps Asarar plug up the hole.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar shoves the desk down to destroy the ramp
<Sara> <Chelsea> Well, we know they'll take the stairs first if they can, at least
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher blows the stairway
<DeathStar> 6* Stumbling back
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Keep an eye on the windows and the ceiling."
<kalonZombie> 6*While it's on my mind Max burns 1 stamina to get Slash back
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Miyuki's Team
<DeathStar> 6* Samson comes in toward AniMon with 40 minutes remaining, having insisted on scouting it and circling
<Sathen> *Mykel shifts unfortably in the seat*
<Seraphna> * Alita peers out, ready, Talia eats a fish. Where she got it, no one knows.
<Sara> * Ellie plays a game with her fingers that only seems to have any meaning to herself
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *Watches the video of the new spirits with fascination*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *reaches and ties back her hair into combat twintails*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia makes sure her sticker is still on her forehead
<DeathStar> 6* Samson moves in to land, but doesn't, one foot off the roof*
<DeathStar> <Samson> In case they have sensors
<DeathStar> 6* Shion steps off, floating
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *rises and moves off of the shuttle*
<Sathen> *Mykel moves to the edge of the ramp* Safe to step off or wait to make sure security is turned off?
<Seraphna> * Alita blinks a bit. Looking at Shion float.
<Sara> * Ellie hesitates, looking nervous about getting off of the shuttle... but then looks at Sylph, nods to herself, and steps out
<Chain> 6*Miyuki floats after Shion
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia follows, looking down
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph flaps her hands and makes the others float
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Okaylookingdownwasamistake
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I got you!
<Chain> 6*a tail is offered to Ceilia
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph twirls
<Seraphna> * Alita floats out, Talia rides her boobs in cat form.
<Sathen> *Mykel floats after Alita and Ceilia*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia grabs the tail
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ah!" *steps off and drifts a bit in the air*
<DeathStar> 6* Shion floats to the doorway and uses her claws to pick it open
<DeathStar> 6* Samson flies off
<Sara> * Ellie moves after Shion, making sure not to get too far from Sylph
<Chain> 6*Ceilia now knows the world of softness
<DeathStar> 6* Shion gets the door open and floats down the stairwell, then lands
<DeathStar> <Shion> Perfection
<Seraphna> Alita> *floats after her*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia can now die happy... which if she gets hit once she may just
<Sara> * Ellie flails a bit in the air but manages to right herself rather than falling, landing
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *floats in after shion*
<Sathen> *Mykel floats after them*
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph lands on Ellie's hand, letting the magic end when they get to Shion
<Chain> 6*Miyuki follows after and lands
<Sara> <Ellie> Well, Sylphie, here we are, the land of smog, drugs, sex, and bingo
<Sathen> Mykel> And people like Gor...
<Seraphna> * Alita gently fixes her hair with thought.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> What is bingo?
<Sara> <Ellie> I don't know, either, but someone told me that
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> It's a type of sauce.
<Sara> * She shrugs, straightening her clothes and getting her bow in quick reach
<Chain> <Miyuki> its a game
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Once we are finished here, I would like to go shopping."
<DeathStar> 6* Shion opens another door, peering around a floor full of equipment, no terminals, with strange visors
<Sathen> Mykel> Well, let's go and find what we need and make sure we're safe until the clock reaches zero.
<DeathStar> 6* Shion puts one on and jerks, making a face, blushing
<DeathStar> <Shion> oh... my..
<Chain> <Miyuki> what is it?
<DeathStar> 6* Shion takes if off
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "What is it?"
<kalonZombie> <Celia> This is weird...
<DeathStar> <Shion> You do not want to know
<Chain> 6*Miyuki puts it on next
<Sara> <Ellie> Well, do we keep moving?
<DeathStar> 6* Miyuki is assaulted by tentacles in some japanese porno, feeling the sensation
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be some VR Porn sensation
<Chain> <Miyuki> huuu~
<Seraphna> Alita> "Wha-Wah..."
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> What is it? 6*She moves to put one on
<Chain> 6*Miyuki puts it in her tails
<DeathStar> <Shion> Behave, mother!
<Sara> * Ellie shakes her head and looks for the way onward
<Sathen> *Mykel moves to stop Ceilia*
<DeathStar> 6* Ceilia finds that one has her surrounded by Aurit that wash her and pleasure her
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Perhaps we should di this after the mission is finished?"
<Sathen> Mykel> Distractions later dear.
<Seraphna> Talia> "We needs a terminininanimal."
<DeathStar> 6* Shion walks onward
<Chain> <Miyuki> lets press on shall wel
<kalonZombie> 6*She pries it back from Mykel and hisses at him
<Sara> * Ellie nods to Shion, a frown on her face
<kalonZombie> 6*Then puts it in Miyu's tails
<Seraphna> Talia> "I was told is a magic box with runes."
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *moves forward*
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph slips one on and falls off Ellie's head, twitching on floor
<Sathen> Mykel> Later dear... *moves to follow the others*
<Seraphna> * Alita moves forward, she blinks and helps Sylph back up to Ellie.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Such magic
<DeathStar> 6* Shion reaches an elevator, so far their stealth approach working
<Sara> <Ellie> I had a feeling it was better to stay away from those things
<DeathStar> <Shion> Lets see. *She reads the floor layout*
<Sathen> Mykel> Can we stop with the strange head devices and focus?
<DeathStar> <Shion> Computer lab, experimental lab
<DeathStar> <Shion> Spirit Tech lab..
<Sara> * Ellie eyes the elevator as if she's skeptical of it
<Seraphna> Alita> "Computers are terminals right?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> President Offices
<DeathStar> <Shion> Offices
<DeathStar> <Shion> Yes, they can have them
<DeathStar> 6* Shion calls up the elevator
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Let's go there then.
<DeathStar> 6* Shion steps in
<Sathen> Mykel> Offices, so we should be able to find what we need just about everywhere we go...
<Seraphna> Alita> *steps on*
<Sathen> *Mykel moves to join them in the elevator*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia steps in
<Chain> 6*Miyuki steps in
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *enters the lift*
<Sara> * Ellie gets into the lift, patting Sylph
<DeathStar> 6* Shion hits the button and goes down to the computer lab. A few moments later, they arrive into a lab that has a bunch of terminals running schematics. It seems to have a lot of information that is hard to read. Shion checks the time with 30 minutes to go and takes a seat, waiting out the time
<DeathStar> <Shion> So far so good.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Get a feel for the room. Identify apparent points of entry so we can secure them."
<Sathen> *Mykel moves into the lab and starts looking around to see if there's anybody else there*
<Seraphna> * Alita nods and peers about. Talia stares at a screen in awe.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia moves to do so as well
<DeathStar> 6* There is a beauitful view from the window, and the elevator. As the team takes up security points, a hidden camera watches them
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Erica's Team
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki pants as an explosion rolls her into the presidental offices with 15 minutes to spare, her tail on fire
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Ah! Ah! AH!
<DeathStar> 6* She pats at it
<Seraphna> * Cookie rolls after her loyally.
<Sara> * Erica tumbles after her, coughing
<Sathen> *Kaylin steps in and sweeps from side to side with her rifle leveled, ready to lock on a target if needed*
<DeathStar> 6* Outside a bunch of elite security officers peer into the presidental offices, which have very supreme durable walls so that their fire can't get in
<DeathStar> 6* If they can get the door shut, they will have locked the officers out
<Sara> <Erica> Cor... This entire damn place is a big trap
<Chain> 6*Kitty asks the sprites to tend to Yuki's tail
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor looks to see if there's a way to hack the door shut
<Jackieness> <Airym> *moves into the office and then trues to get the door closed*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "S-Someone get that shut." *she peers around the office*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> This woman is very very paranoid. *she sighs in relief as the sprites heal*
<Chain> 6*Kitty braces the door for now
<Sathen> *Kaylin looks for a door control*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "To our benefit right now."
<DeathStar> 6* Airym slams the door shut. It normally requires a card key, but Kaylin sees that a weakpoint will melt it shut
<DeathStar> 6* Due to a design flaw
<DeathStar> 6* Gor finds a terminal in here that the code can be entered while looking about
<Sathen> *Kaylin pauses for a moment* Possible way, but leaving might prove difficult.
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor hops onto the terminal
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We made it. This floor is the safest place in here. Outside the window view. *She peers outside*
<Sara> * Erica spends all of her stamina (3+1=4) to restore her CQC and Fists of Fury during the moment, since she isn't the one to deal with this particular problem
<kalonZombie> <Gor> Ready to go when the timer goes
<Jackieness> <Airym> "If we are successful, leaving the way we came will be irrelevant."
<Sathen> *Kaylin aims carefully and fires at the weakpoint*
<DeathStar> 6* The door is sealed
<Sara> <Erica> I dunno, I'm tempted to say they might try to knock down the whole building
<Seraphna> Cookie> "That'd kind of defeat the point."
<Chain> 6*Kitty moves to cuddle and praise her sprites
<DeathStar> <Yuki> May--- <Female Voice> And may I ask why are you all in my office?
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor left the mech out in front of the door to protect them, not that that's relevant anymore
<Seraphna> Cookie> "...Where..."
<DeathStar> 6* A woman steps out of the back, where a bed and some showers are
<kalonZombie> 6*Then jerks in the seat
<Sathen> Kaylin> Demolition of that level would require more time...*spins and raises her rifle towards the voice*
<Chain> <Kitty>well shit
<Seraphna> * Cookie frowns and gets into her deflect stance.
<Sara> <Erica> Captain Erica Hildegard. *she bows, steeling herself* A pleasure I'm sure..
<DeathStar> 6* Cloud Starkillers stands there, looking furious
<DeathStar> *Starstriker, my bad
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor hides under the desk, not a good fighter
<DeathStar> 6* A werebeast wolf also steps out, putting on his clothing. It is clear what the two were doing. The second must be her second in command, Cecil
<Chain> 6*Kitty takes a photo
<DeathStar> <Cloud> Captain Hildegard
<DeathStar> <Cloud> I take it you are here to shut me down for the President?
<Sara> <Erica> We have no quarrel with you personally if you won't try to stop us.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Fascinating."
<Sara> * Erica's eyes narrow
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki moves close to Erica
<Sathen> *Kaylin aims carefully, watching the two*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "That or you could surrender and call off your forces?"
<Sara> <Erica> I'd prefer not to have to hurt anyone else.
<DeathStar> <Cloud> Why would we surrender? When we're making a new type of Kumen. Besides. You two can't stop us. Cecil? *he moves over and they begin to reach for each other*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Erica...I think they're bonded...
<Sathen> *Kaylin fires at Cecil's shoulder closest to Cloud, to keep them from coming into contact*
<DeathStar> 6* Cecil howls
<Seraphna> * Cookie frowns and reaches out with her minds, using Nervous Renditions on Cecil (Paralusis, Mind vs. Counter)
<Chain> 6*Kitty forms a ripple under them both, and in the ceiling to hopefully keep them falling
<Sathen> *Kaylin keeps her aim steady, shifting to one side to keep them in line of sight*
<Seraphna> (Mind 7)
<DeathStar> *Cecil grabs his head, jerking, then Cloud turns to leap for him when the ripples open, splitting them further and disorienting them*
<DeathStar> <Cloud> You bitches... *She flips and kicks off the ceiling, flying right at Kaylin and kicks the gun out of her hand, despite it meaning her legs split*
<Seraphna> * Cookie lashes again and uses Scramble Slam on Cloud (Stun)
<DeathStar> 6* Cloud jerks, stumbling, then grabs Cookie, lifting her up even as her body slows
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki leaps and grabsd Cloud
<Jackieness> <Airym> "No." *grabs a random blunt object and swings it at Cloud's head*
<Sathen> *Kaylin lets the gun go and tries to grab ahold of her*
<Sara> <Erica> I don't care if they're glued. I tried to be nice. *she draws her weapons (probably Saoirse, but w/e), and rushes in, waiting to see what happens when she realizes there's a ripple, before using her Chi Flow Max to slow things down for 2+ turns, going to attack Cecil*
<Sathen> (her = cloud)
<Chain> 6*Kitty moves with the sprites to cover Gor
<Sara> (Of course, if not Saoirse, ignore the weapon part because Erica just uses handwraps otherwise)
<Seraphna> * Cookei uses Attack Reader Lv. 2 to try and stop her grab and stun her again.
<DeathStar> 6* Cloud jerks at the swing, stumbling. Cecil, who's teeth are enlarging, jerks as Erica wails on him, stumbling and falling over a couch
<Sathen> *Kaylin pulls one of her SMG's and tries to fire point blank into Cloud*
<DeathStar> 6* Cloud fumbles as she's stunned again, then shot again point blank and falls backwards into the wall, bleeding down it
<Sara> <Erica> I don't. Want. To hurt you. Surrender now.
<DeathStar> 6* Cecil howls and runs over to Cloud, holding her
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor cowers under the desk
<DeathStar> *The sprites dance for Gor*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I think the fights done since we kept them apart
<Sathen> *Kaylin transforms the SMG into a large Blaster and holds it at them* Stand down. Only warning.
<Sara> * Erica moves over to them, waiting.
<DeathStar> 6* Cecil growls at Kaylin, then goes back to Cloud, rubbing her
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki looks back at the time, seeing 5 mins remaining
<Sara> <Erica> Kaylin, hold your fire.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Lets get ready
<Seraphna> * Cookie shifts up over to them and keeps a gun trained on Cecil's head in case she's not fully done and trhy try to transform.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Team Asarar
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar listens to the sounds of movement below and above them as they wait by the terminals
<Sara> * Chelsea's ears twitch as she also listens
<kalonZombie> 6*Max paces with his sword out
<DeathStar> 6* Then the intercomm buzzes
<Seraphna> Luci> "They're probably going to try and pincer."
<DeathStar> <Caeusune Guane> If you don't surrender now, I will flush you out. This is your only chance
<Sathen> *Jelly uses Hacking Implant Max to get into the terminal and access the network*
<Sara> <Chelsea> Surrender your mother.
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher glances at the time, seeing 5 minutes remaining
<Seraphna> Luci> "We accept your surrender."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I'd say they use gas. They always use gas."
<Seraphna> Luci> "Now how about our terms?"
<DeathStar> <Caeusune> ... *she hangs up*
<Chain> <Wolfe> better make sure we can break the windows then
<DeathStar> 6* Jelly would have access to cameras
<Sara> <Chelsea> That went well. *she says dryly and shakes her head*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We just need 5 minutes, but if we have to, we'll do it early
<Seraphna> Luci> "I can maybe hold fire back for a short bit with my Aegis, but not long."
<Sathen> *Jelly uses DefCon once he has access, to take control over 2 separate security subsystems*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We just have to hope the others have done enough damage
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly Cypher looks up as the floor above them begins to sizzle
<kalonZombie> <Max> I can take whatever they throw at me.
<kalonZombie> <Max> ...Except melting ceilings.
<DeathStar> 6* And burn
<Seraphna> Luci> "But Acid..."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Turn on the sprinklers."
<DeathStar> 6* Toxic waste begins to melt down and burn the area around them
<Seraphna> * Luci starts to form an Aegist around the group.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> What the fuck
<Sathen> *Jelly takes direct control over fire sprinklers on the floor above and starts flushing them*
<Seraphna> * Luci forms a shield over top the computer too.
<kalonZombie> <Max> WHO INSTALLS ACID TRAPS IN AN OFFICE BUILDING?!
<Seraphna> Luci> "These assholes."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I think she's just dumping acid on the floor above
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar eyes the floor melting faster above
<Seraphna> Luci> "Not sure if this is going to hold long."
<Sathen> Jelly> Water is a natural base to acids and counteracts it most of the time...
<Chain> <Welfe> we might need to slam the code in and jam
<DeathStar> <Asarar> 3 minutes.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<kalonZombie> <Max> Is that what you say to Jan?
<DeathStar> Location: Miyuki's Team
<DeathStar> 6* Shion twirls her chair about when the elevator beeps and two figures step in, right in front of whoever is guarding. Outside, a helicopter flies up to the windows, the guns on them charging up
<Seraphna> * Alita gulps. "Umm... not good?"
<DeathStar> <Drek Hi'um> I must ask you all surrender, you are trespassing
<Sara> <Ellie> Sylphie... that thing outside
<kalonZombie> <Ceilia> Can we have two minutes to think on it?
<Sathen> *Mykel stands quietly near the elevator, holding his sword at the ready and looking around; stepping up from the side and raising it towards the neck of the first one* Who's surrendering?
<Chain> 6*Miyuki rises, tails flared
<DeathStar> <Sici Hi'um> Do so now. *Their faces are covered by hoods*
<DeathStar> *2 minutes remain on the count down*
<Chain> <Miyuki> I'm going to ask you to back down
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph focuses, making wind to blow the helicopter about*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *moves to break open the window and then uses her string trap on the helicopter rotors*
<Kemonohime> * If it gets disturbed in targeting, Vyvy calls on Spira and Shade, looking at Miyuki to handle the elevator ones with the rest.
<DeathStar> 6* Drek Hi'um lifts his hands, which are wrapped up, covering the right hand strangely, as does his wife, and they rush in; he punches Shion in the gut, knocking the air out of her, then he grabs her and throws her out the window
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy jerks and leaps to grab Shion instead-- out the window.
<Seraphna> * Alita uses Flashburst in his face as he does. (Blind, 5 rounds)
<Chain> 6*Miyuki freezes Drek and his wife
<Sathen> *Mykel uses Levitation to bring Shion back in*
<DeathStar> 6* Shion coughs as she is saved. The two are frozen, then shatter and break free; the flashburst do nothing strangely and they move inward, and kick out at Miyuki, moving extremely fast
<DeathStar> 6* 60 seconds
<Chain> 6*Miyuki jumps pack, producing an icy gale at them to keep them at bay
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia casts down with the sickness at them [MISC] One enemy gets weak in the knees, causing their movement to slow down. [-3 Speed for 5 Turns+]
<Sara> * Ellie shakes her head and moves for the terminal
<DeathStar> 6* The two are knocked back, and are slowed down
<Seraphna> * Alita spins her staff and prepares a Costly Aggression while Talia whispers and casts Flame Magic Lv. 1 at the two as they slow.
<Sathen> *Mykel drops his sword and uses Levitation 3 on Drek to stop his movements completely*
<Chain> <Miyuki> someone hurry and punch the code in
<DeathStar> <Drek Hi'um> ... We are about to lose our foothold here in Kumen...
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy clings to Shion as she floats since she doesn't see Spira or Shade yet, pursing her lips and looks over at the helicopter and begins murmuring, calling on a spirit blast to pelt at it.
<Sara> * Ellie uses her Persevere move to give herself +3 Durability for 5+ Turns, as she moves to do exactly as Miyuki said and punch the code in
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia then also casts Font of Time at them in her next turn [ATTACK] Ceilia manipulates time to slightly slow down an attacker. [-2 Speed for 5 Turns+]
<Chain> 6*Miyuki tries again to freeze the pair
<DeathStar> 6* Spira didn't come on the trip, hence no responsd
<Seraphna> * Talia sneaks over to the console and starts working on the codes, having been watching Shion do stuff.
<DeathStar> 6* 6* The helicopter jerks and the rotors explode, coming flying in toward the building
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Eee!? S-Sylph, help me!
<Chain> 6*Miyuki turns and focuses her gale on the copter
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy continues to barrage it with whatever spirit she can call on
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph grabs Vyvy, flying her and Shion back
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Blow them clear!" *gestures dramatically*
<Seraphna> * Alita calls up a Flame Shield to try and bounce the helicopter away (wall of flame, blocks and attack)
<Sathen> *Mykel turns and uses TK 3 to stop the rotor blades while keeping his focus on Drek*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia then casts Water Caster Lv. 1 at the top of the helicopter, trying to slam it further down
<Sara> * Ellie is already attempting to enter the code
<DeathStar> 6* The two, while frozen and injured, leap into the elevator, escaping. Their hand, damaged, reveals a mark
<DeathStar> 6* The code accepts
<Seraphna> * Talia cheers Ellie on.
<DeathStar> 6* The building begins to power down
<Sathen> *Mykel had one levitated...*
<DeathStar> 6* The elevator the last thing moving downward
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *then runs to the elevator* "Get this open now!"
<DeathStar> (My move must not have gotten through; they blocked)
<Chain> 6*Miyuki focuses on a fox hole
<Sathen> ((ok))
<Seraphna> * Alita sighs. "Guess it's time we go."
<DeathStar> 6* The helicopter damage is stopped, galed and damaged, the helicopter stopped and falls outside the building
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy shifts her combat form and draws the moonflower blade, awaiting the gate Miyuki is making
<DeathStar> 6* A foxhole opens
<Sara> * Ellie flinches at how messy everything is and shakes her head, getting up from the terminal and looking for Sylph now
<Chain> <Miyuki> move move move
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia leaps through it
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph flies and joins. By the time they get to the elevator, it is empty
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Erica's Team
<Sathen> *Mykel retrieves his sword and moves over to join Miyuki and getting Alita, Ceilia and Talia*
<DeathStar> 6* The buzzer beeps
<kalonZombie> 6*Gor enters the code
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> <Dinner's ready.>
<DeathStar> 6* The building shuts down. Cecil howls
<Sara> <Erica> I'm sorry.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "If you allow me, I can see if I can treat her wounds."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... *she pauses as the sounds outside stop and she looks around.*
<Sara> <Erica> By all means.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "I'd rather she not die."
<Sathen> *Kaylin stands steadily with weapon in hand* We will coordinate for medical assistance now.
<Chain> 6*Kitty starts forming a ripple
<DeathStar> 6* Cecil growls, but gives up
<DeathStar> 6* Whining like a kicked dog
<Seraphna> * Cookie moves over and checks Cloud's vitals.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki walks to the window, then jerks as the top of Macross HQ blows up
<DeathStar> <Yuki> What the---?
<Sara> <Erica> Call in medical assistance for any wounded in the building. Foes or not, let's do what we... c...an...
<Sara> <Erica> ...Ymir
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<kalonZombie> <Gor> I didn't do that!
<DeathStar> Location: Asarar's Team
<DeathStar> 6* The buzzer beaps as the shield begfins to dissolve
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Doitdoitdoit
<Sara> * Chelsea goes for the code
<Sathen> *jelly enters the sequence*
<DeathStar> 6* The code beeps and the acid stops
<Sara> * Jelly likely beat Chelsea to it, of course
<Seraphna> * Luci grumbles and burns the stamina to start renewing it. She blinks as it stops.
<Seraphna> Luci> "Wow that's a cool code."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar lets out a breath, peering out the window
<Chain> <Wolfe> oh gods that is not fun
<DeathStar> 6* Somewhere Cauesune curses and runs for itm but finds all her stuff locked down
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, there's a bright explosion out the window. Asarar turns
<DeathStar> <Asarar> ... ?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Wha?
<Sara> <Chelsea> Isn't that...
<Sathen> *Jelly moves away from the console and joins Asarar at the window* So boss, we taking this...over...?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "And we win the day.... what?" *looks*
<kalonZombie> <Max> The hell was that?!
<Seraphna> * Luci peers out, frowning. "Where... is that?"
<Sara> <Chelsea> Oh, no...
<Chain> 6*Wolfe turns and winces, shielding his eyes
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *she eyes her data-reader*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Macross
<Seraphna> Luci> "Ymir...?"
<Sathen> Jelly> Oh shit...
<DeathStar> -TIME REVERSE - Early That Day-
<Sathen> Jelly> More crazy shit...
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir prepares to join the meeting, where Ylva is at. Unaware below, entering Macross, the Bourbon Cypher Spirit is working it's way up, attacking people and hitting systems, draining them before the alarms go off and alert people
<DeathStar> 6* Slowly it works it's way up to her floor, slowly working it's way up behind her, as if it remembers her, a tendril of life draining energy reaching out behind her
<DeathStar> -The Present-
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar works on calling the shuttle down, busting through the window
<DeathStar> 6* She talks on her communicator
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Captain Erica, have you seen what I have?
<Sathen> *Jelly is focusing on his datareader while trying to find any reports of what happened at Macross*
<Sara> <Erica> *c* Macross HQ. What the bloody hell happened?
<Seraphna> * Luci gets ready to board, frowning deeply.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar leaps onboard
<DeathStar> <Asarar> No idea, we are heading there now
<Sara> * Chelsea gets on slowly
<kalonZombie> 6*Max jumps on
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher leaps on board
<Chain> 6*Wolfe hops in
<Jackieness> <Kira> *boards the shuttle*
<Sathen> *Jelly follows after them and takes a seat* Nobody has a single idea of what is occuring there...
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I read reports the last few days of a spirit that attacks people - maybe one of the corps unleashed a weapon
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Which means if we don't finish it off, our good will could bottom out
<Sathen> Jelly> Medical teams are arriving and finding bodies all over the place...
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar flies out of the building, turning around and heading for Macross
<Seraphna> * Luci sighs and sits in the shuttle. Peering out towards Macross.
<DeathStar> 6* The holovid shows the new spirits on a platform, being introduced and talking to the public, with Henry II and the others with them, to sell the idea of how spirits can work together as they fly to Macross
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki's group and Miyuki's group heads for the Macross HQ and all three converge about the same time, all three shuttles setting down in the ruins of Ymir and Ylva's office
<Sara> <Erica> ...Something made a real fucking mess up here
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar and Yuki get out at the same time, while Shion sits back, not really sure what is going on and playing defensive perimeter
<Sara> * Erica gets out
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Yeah
<Chain> 6*Miyuki slides out and sniffs quietly
<kalonZombie> 6*Max and Ceilia get out, Gor tries getting into the cameras to see what happened
<Sathen> *Mykel will move along with Alita wherever she goes, since she'll likely try to help with injuries*
<Seraphna> * Luci and Cookie hop out. Peering around.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *steps out of their shuttle*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar walks forward, and eyes trees growing in the ruins, or the budding life of it. Suddenly, a fallen beam shifts and Bourbon rises a spirit, sometimes flickering into Cypher's form then back, rises, holding Ymir by the leg, her body looking somewhat smashed
<Seraphna> * Alita starts checking for wounded and people in need of help.
<DeathStar> 6* It floats, peering at them
<Sathen> *Kaylin stands stoicly near the ramp of her shuttle looking around*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...what is this?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Ah! *she falls back*
<Seraphna> Luci> "What the fuck..."
<kalonZombie> <Gor> I was going to get into the camera but.... uh... I think we found it
<Sara> * Chelsea freezes still
<DeathStar> <Cypher> The spirit that Macross made.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *scans the spirit with her sensors*
<kalonZombie> <Max> ...Luci. Sweetie. After today I need a drink.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki reels, trying to see if theres any hope that Ymir is alive
<Sathen> *Kaylin raises a weapon and takes aim, but not firing yet*
<DeathStar> 6* It's readings seem to be hard to pin down. It reads as both taking and giving life
<Seraphna> * COokie gently reaches out to feel Ymir's mind for activity.
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir seems to be alive, not having been drained yet. For some reason the spirit having been drawn to her in anger, but not having taken it yet
<Seraphna> Cookie> "She's alive."
<Sara> <Erica> You freaking idiots, you had to have known what you were unleashing... Maxwell Terran
<Seraphna> Cookie> "For the moment... that thing is radiating anger."
<DeathStar> 6* The Bourbon part of the spirit turns to Chelsea, freezing
<Sathen> *Mykel moves slowly to the side, watching the spirit for the moment*
<Sara> <Chelsea> ...Bourbon...
<Jackieness> <Airym> "It seems to be recycling the energy that it absorbs."
<DeathStar> 6* It tosses Ymir away, her body landing hard as it approaches Chelsea, reaching out
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Incredible.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki scoops up Ymir
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Chel...becareful
<Sathen> *Mykel catches Ymir with Tk*
<Sara> * Chelsea looks at the spirit, not making any sudden movements, wondering what's going to happen
<DeathStar> 6* The spirit touches Chelsea, patting her.
<DeathStar> <Bourbon> Chelsea...
<Seraphna> * Alita frowns and starts sneaking long way around to Ymir.
<Kemonohime> * A shadow casts on the room from the windows. A shuttle rapidly approaching; perhaps too quickly. One person wasn't shown on the monitor introducing the spirits who probably should have been.
<Sara> <Chelsea> What's... happened to you?
<Sathen> *Mykel will bring settle Ymir carefully into Miyuki's arms*
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir mewls
<Sara> <Chelsea> I thought you were dead but...
<Chain> <Miyuki> sshhhh youre going to be ok
<Seraphna> * Alita starts applying Mage Cures to Ymir to heal her.
<Chain> 6*Miyuki comforts Ymir as best she can
<Sathen> *Kaylin looks towards the incoming shuttle, but keeps her weapon trained on the Bourbon Spirit*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *looks over toward the windowd*
<DeathStar> <Bourbon> I... *he peers at himself* What happened...? What happened....? I should have died. I leapt into the spirit to kill it. What happened to me, Chelsea? *he grabs his head, flickering more* Am I a monster? *they both ask*
<DeathStar> <Bourbon> I think I killed people, kiddo
<Sara> <Chelsea> ...I don't want to say you're a monster. We've all killed.
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph flutters
<Sara> * Ellie just shakes her head, lost
<Seraphna> Cookie> "You don't have to be... you can choose to become more... *she says softly*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> It's energy is imbalanced.
<Sara> <Chelsea> But it looks like, when that building went down the way it did... something happened to the spirit, and you, both.
<Sara> * Her voice is wavering
<Chain> 6*Kitty instructs the sprites to help with Ymir as well
<DeathStar> <Bourbon> ... *he seems to take that in, the tendrils of deadly energy shifting about*
<Sathen> *Jelly peeks out from the shuttle, watching quietly from relative safety*
<DeathStar> 6* The sprites touch*
<DeathStar> <Bourbon> Help...me? *He reaches out*
<DeathStar> <Sylph> *closes her eyes, as if unable to watch*
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *jerks forward, as if he might kill her like the others*
<Sara> <Chelsea> If you know how I can help, tell me, and you know I will.
<Sara> * She reaches out in kind, a tear rolling down her cheek
<DeathStar> *The two touch and Bourbon glows a bit, as does Chelsea. A few moments pass, and Bourbon seems to fade away, leaving Chelsea glowing a few moments longer, before the energy fades. Cypher pauses, moving closer*
<DeathStar> 6* Chelsea would feel a contentment - an energy in her as if something was with her.*
<Seraphna> * Cookie watches, blinking. "Wow..."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> What happened? *She touches Chel, checking her out*
<Sathen> *Kaylin tilts her head and lowers her rifle* Curious...
<Sara> * Chelsea looks at her hands, turning them, blinking as she tries to process this
<kalonZombie> <Max> So what the fuck just happened?
<Sara> <Chelsea> I'm not... sure
<Seraphna> * Alita makes sure Ymir is nice and healed up.
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Oh my. Oh dear.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I need a drink."
<Sara> <Ellie> What happened, Sylphie?
<Kemonohime> * Ylva leaps in from the shattered windows directly from her shuttle looking frayed and angry
<Sathen> *Mykel waits behind Alita* Rebirth?
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I think Bourbon gave her some of her spiritual energy.
<Seraphna> Luci> "Whoa kitty. She's safe."
<Sara> <Erica> ... Drinks are on me tonight, people
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Became part of her. But that's not how things should work. Who knows what will happen down the road. I definitely see some of his energy in her
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> This doesn't look the image of safe
<Chain> <Kitty> captain, maybe we should wait till after Ymir is stablized
<Seraphna> Alita> "I've healed her wounds."
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir sits up, coughing, after being healed
<Sara> <Erica> Does it look like it's night yet?
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Mewl...
<Seraphna> Alita> "And she is in the headmistress' busom."
<DeathStar> 6* Shion leans back
<Sara> * Erica nods to Kitty
<kalonZombie> 6*Ceilia looks jealous
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir eyes their HQ and jerks
<Chain> 6*Miyuki cradles Ymir like one of her own
<DeathStar> <Ymir> Noooo
<Kemonohime> * Ylva walks over pointedly to Ymir
<Sara> <Ellie> Huh... So the spirit went inside a person?
<Sathen> Kaylin> Captain, should we return to the Aquarius and continue discussing things there while Emergency Services takes care of things here?
<Seraphna> Luci> "You MAY want to call an interior designer though."
<DeathStar> <Sylph> I think so.
<Sara> * Chelsea closes her eyes, breathing slow and deep
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ahem, headmistress... might we take this opportunity for some time off? We don't make a habit of visiting Kumen, afterall."
<Seraphna> Luci> "And a contractor."
<Chain> <Miyuki> shhhhh that will be easy to replace kitten
<Seraphna> Luci> "And probably just get a new building."
<Sara> <Ellie> I still have... a lot to learn
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher hugs Chelsea
<Seraphna> Luci> "And staff. And desks. And... well... everything."
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir peers up at Ylva, leaning into Miyuki
<DeathStar> 6* Shion nods to Sasha
<DeathStar> <Shion> Party hard
<Kemonohime> * Ylva seems to glance over Miyuki and Ymir, closing her eyes a moment, then turns away, looking at a wristwatch-like device
<Seraphna> Luci> "So ummm.... did we win?"
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> ... I will inform the families. Do keep an eye on her.
<Chain> <Miyuki> I think we should all retire for now. this...has been a long day
<Sara> <Erica> Agreed ten times over.
<Seraphna> Talia> "Talia will let the bards know to sing of Tali's brave army that saved day."
<Chain> <Miyuki> to the Aquarius then?
<Kemonohime> * Ylva drags her fingers over a charred desk, dragging nail-like etches through it before she leaps from the floor back out into her shuttle, lifting it up and away.
<Sara> * Chelsea leaves herself in Cypher's care for right now, having a lot to process mentally
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I have all manner of data to work with."
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir still seems confused why she was attacked, not knowing the Bourbon spirit had a grudge against her from 100 when she was "evil".
<Sathen> *Kaylin steps up next to Shion after putting her rifle away* Time to relax a bit.
<DeathStar> <Shion> Lets go
<DeathStar> -END-
<Kemonohime> * Ylva contemplates how to announce such loss of life, as it's clearly nothing 'accidental' but doesn't feel she can announce that a spirit struck the building either, gritting her teeth.
* Sathen has quit IRC
<DeathStar> So
<DeathStar> Now for a final battle with the Corps
<DeathStar> I hope it was okay (seeing as it was only a 2 hour session)
<DeathStar> I had planned part of the battle to be in last session
<DeathStar> But many of you felt bad
<DeathStar> So I cut a lot of the fighting out
<Sara> It was still the most action-packed session in ages
<Sara> Good work, DS
