<DeathStar> Alright, a reminder since I almost forgot with how things have been going
<DeathStar> This Friday is the 19th Anniversary
<DeathStar> So we'll be having a special session
<DeathStar> I figure 3-3.5 hours for it. So what time would be best for all those in here. You all get to pick. 7, or 7:30
<Jackieness> .-.!
<Stretch`cell> I'll see what I can do about that, but likely will be on cellphone
<DeathStar> Next year, since it's the 20th Annivsary, I'll be going more all out for it
<DeathStar> But we'll take it more chill this year.
<Luci> Will there be cookies?
* DeathStar has a timer going for answers
<Stretch`cell> No, not for you Gabby
<Stretch`cell> I'd say shoot for 7
<Stretch`cell> But whatever everyone else wants
<DeathStar> Since no one else answered in time, 7 it is

<DeathStar> Location: The Club
<DeathStar> <Narrator> Time. Time is a strange thing
<DeathStar> <Narrator> We let it slip by without thinking about it, letting it waste away day after day. But when we really need it, we desperately want it back. As I talk into this modify datapad to you, my daughter, hoping it comes to you
<DeathStar> <Narrator> I desperately wish I had more time to tell you everything. About how your mother and I came to this world. About my theories on the people who are coming here. About Centerpoint
<DeathStar> <Narrator> About my dreams and how things seem to change
<DeathStar> <Narrator> But with time running out, the people in the club and ship, they spent their time partying. Well, some of them.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar peers about the Club, peering at the decorations Ymir set up. The Club, shut down to the public, is set up for the Aquarius crew and the Club
* Chaintan has joined #DualSession135
<DeathStar> 6* Strangely, some of the people have opted not to show up. Max is nowhere to be seen. Possibly he's bailed on Luci in the final hour. Or maybe it's doing something to protect her.
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly sits at a booth putting the finishing touches on some upgrades to his pack*
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki sits at a booth, watching music play and eating cake that Ymir made
<Xanatos> 6* Logan drinks at the bar.
<Luci> * Luci doesn't seem worried, of course, bonded, she probably knows whatever it is he's doing.
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher seems to be thinking hard, especially about Chelsea, possibly considering making her go away with the Aquarius
<Sara> * Erica sits across from Yuki, a perfect poker face hiding her worries
<Chaintan> 6*Wolfe ties his hair back a bit
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille has a huge bottle of whiskey, getting ready to try it for the first time
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir moves about, being a hostess to her end of the world party
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin stands quietly to one side, a small smile on her face while she contemplates battle scenarios*
<Jackieness> <Kira> *leans against the bar in he rusual place, wearing a low cut and backless gown, but without any customers to flirt with out of their money.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar makes sure to hide all their coins in various places in the Club, mostly underground
<Sara> * Erica glances at Mireille and wonders if she should stop her
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *she tries the various foods on a large table*
<DeathStar> <Mireille> *takes a drink and coughs hard*
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Gah.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> This is not good soda
<Sara> * Erica pats her back
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly keeps sneaking peeks at Kira and other ladies in low cut dresses*
<Stretch`cell> Kaylin> That's because it's alcohol.
<Luci> * Cookie seems deep in thought, going over medical supply lists as she sits around the partying.
<DeathStar> 6* Su leans on the counter, somehow attending the party, talking to Riki about things
<Xanatos> 6* Logan turns about in his seat, taking a sip from his glass.
<Stretch`cell> Kaylin> Apparently the more it burns the better it is.
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher glances at Chelsea
<Sara> <Erica> Not everyone likes it. *she notes, to try to avoid giving Mireille any bad ideas*
<Sara> * Chelsea looks at Cypher
<DeathStar> <Cypher> You know, with your space ship knowledge, I'm sure they'd welcome you on the Aquarius
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Oh.
<Xanatos> <Logan> I hated it for a long time before I eventually got used to it. 6He tells Mireille
<Jackieness> <Airym> *is at the party with her shipmates, wearing a slinky dress of her own*
<Sara> <Chelsea> ...Cy
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille eyes it and looks for more soda
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Just saying
<DeathStar> *Cypher holds up her hands* You don't have to stay behind and do the crazy plan the rest of us are doing
<DeathStar> 6* Riki nods to Su and gets up, doing a slow dance
<Sara> <Chelsea> I still have my own ship to finish, my own mysteries to solve... if I had to leave you behind... *she shakes her head*
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher nods and takes her hands
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I understand
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly drools slightly at the slinky dresses and exposed flesh*
<Luci> * Luci glances out at the door quietly, then sips her tea.
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie eyes Jelly, edging away
<DeathStar> <Bonnie> Creepy
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki sits by Wolfe
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Are you going to be okay, Bigs? Staying behind on the planet?
<Stretch`cell> Jelly> What?
<DeathStar> 6* Bonnie shakes her head, refusing to meet Jelly's eyes
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> I mean I wont like, I dont like any of this, but, if my girls are ok and my family...then yeah
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir moves about in a superhero outfit, dressed up as if it was Scary Holiday, and gives out candy
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki nods and gives a hug
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly wipes the side of his mouth with his sleeve and returns his attention to his pack*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan finishes off the drink and places it on the counter. He hops to his feet after a bit and begins to dance around the club, probably a bit tipsy.
<Luci> * Cookie nibbles candy.
<Chaintan> 6*Wolfe hugs Yuki
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Organic behavior is strange."
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir walks up to Logan, giving him a big cupcake
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Stay safe, bro
<DeathStar> 6* Riki continues her sexy dance
<Xanatos> 6* Logan pauses and bows, taking the cupcake and eating most of it in one bite.
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin nods in agreement with Airym* But it certainly is revealing of intentions...
<Xanatos> <Logan> Dis weally gud
<DeathStar> <Ymir> *claps*
<Luci> Cookie> "Yeah... stay safe Bigs."
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir has Ylva dressed up as a giant pumpkin
<Kemonohime> * Ylva deadpans.
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> I will end you
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Intentions?"
<DeathStar> <Ymir> You're cute. *she paws*
<DeathStar> 6* Twilight is dressed as a sexy Summon
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> well you look after my firls
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> If anyone should be a pumpkin it's you. I'm the "witch"
<DeathStar> 6* Showing a lot of leg.
<Chaintan> girls^
<Xanatos> 6* Logan offers out a hand to Ymir to join him for a dance after he finishes off the cupcake.
<Kemonohime> * Ylva mumbles, noting her callsign
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Of course. Are you sure you want me to take them on the ship and leave you behind though?
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> yes
<DeathStar> 6* Ymir smiles and takes it
<Stretch`cell> Kaylin> Body Language, subtle signs of what a person is thinking or of their feelings.
<Luci> Cookie> "He wants them to be safe away from here so he can focus on the fight."
<DeathStar> 6* Twilight sweeps Ylva up and dances
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> they will have the best chance at survival...and well with Riki being pregnant
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> I wont risk anything
<Xanatos> 6* Logan begins to lead her around in a dance.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Fair enough. *she spreads her hands*
<Chaintan> 6*Wolfe pets Yuki
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly bunkers down and tries not to glance up at the ladies any more*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Ah, I understand." *gestures at Jelly* "That one wishes to procreate with every female with partially exposed mammaries."
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> and no naming my pups anything weird
<Xanatos> <Logan> Do you plan to go on the aquarius? 6He asks as they twirl around.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I would not dare.
<Stretch`cell> Kaylin> I believe you're correct, I'm just not sure why.
<Luci> Cookie> "What's weird?"
<DeathStar> <Ymir> My sister is making me, sadly.
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> I mean it, no jellybean, no Snickerdoodle
<DeathStar> <Ymir> *She sighs* Which means it could be decades before I get back
<Xanatos> <Logan> Survival is sometimes more important than all things.
<Luci> Cookie> "Wh-What's wrong with names like that?"
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> theyre ridiculous
<DeathStar> <Ymir> But from what Asarar told me, you all might, if successful, stop the invasion before it happens so who knows. Maybe we will never launch. Time travel can be tricky.
<Luci> * Cookie looks hurt.
<Luci> Cookie> "R-Ridiculous?"
<Kemonohime> * Ylva the pumpkin glares down at a handheld, plotting.
<Xanatos> <Logan> If we're lucky, yes. If not...well it has been a pleasure to meet you.
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> Twilight
<DeathStar> 6* Twilight dips Ylva
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> Erk..!
<DeathStar> <Twilight> Yes, evil pumpkin?
<DeathStar> 6* Twilight nibbles
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> its one thing if its a nickname
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> but not a propername
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I promise. *She moves back to Erica, holding her*
<Kemonohime> <Ylva> Wh-What's the chance of your world assisting against this threat?
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher hugs on Chelsea, having her sit on her lap
<Sara> * Erica holds Yuki's hand
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I hope there will be time to get over a hangover before the world falls apart."
<DeathStar> <Twilight> Hard to say. I suppose we can try to find them while out there
<Luci> Cookie> "Y-You know my name is my proper name, right?"
<Sara> <Chelsea> As much as I always wanted to get away from this world, my place is at the side of those I love.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki squeezes it, then moves to lead Erica to a bedroom, planning to mate all night long
<DeathStar> <Cypher> I can agree to that
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly glances about more after finishing with his pack*
<Kemonohime> * Saoirse watches them go and scoffs.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki waves her tail at Saorise to follow
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> And you blame /me/ for the libido..
<DeathStar> 6* Su nods at Wolfe, at Riki dancing sexy for him
<Chaintan> 6*Wolfe blinks
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar takes Kira's hand
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Shall we? *She moves to the dance floor*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "It would appear that Yuki wishes to indulge herself."
<Luci> * Luci sits back and looks upwards, closing her eyes.
<Kemonohime> * Ylva eyes Cookie upside-down as she's dipped. "And you sound like one of the second floor strippers."
<Jackieness> <Kira> "How could I say no?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I am glad.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan twirls Ymir and dips her before continuing in the dance. In the lulls of their conversation he would hum along to the tune.
<DeathStar> <Narrator> As I watched them all indulging themselves, and no, I won't tell how I watched them. My trade secret. It wasn't from their cameras. Or anything like that.
<Luci> * Cookie sniffles.
<DeathStar> <Narrator> If it was that, how could I tell you about all the conversations, the heartaches, and talks on Geyze?
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin looks out at the others and smiles slightly* It appears so, too bad everyone doesn't have a couple to share the time with.
<DeathStar> <Narrator> It made realize how much I wanted to protect this world too
<DeathStar> <Tora> After all, me and Sen made something really special
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6.17.5991
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> <Tora> They say the world ends not with a bang but a whimper. Well, neither was technically true that hot summer. The birds were singing. The Academy, mostly deserted as many ran out on Miyuki to go to their families, was a beautiful day.
<DeathStar> <Tora> What would become of Geyze, well, I can only imagine based on what I heard. But I do not think it would be the decades freeze
<DeathStar> 6* Shion has her arms crossed, as the spirits begin to approach
<DeathStar> <Shade> We can feel something approaching the planets. <Salamander> It feels much like those shards.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon stands quietly to the side, leaning against the spear.
<DeathStar> 6* Gnome, Celsius, Sylph, and Undine shrug, not that used to them. Gwen and Qui grimace, peering up at the sunny, blue sky
<Xanatos> <Simon> So it's about to begin.
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel stands quietly to one side, having sent word to Jules of a potential war coming and to prepare the Legions*
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki looks outside, quietly reflecting
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> Pumpkin
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "The Academy's defenders are depleted."
<Luci> * Alita sighs a bit, holding Talia and petting her.
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn shivers and pets the whelp sitting on her shoulder, next to her is a giant panther sitting and licking its lips*
<DeathStar> <Shion> Yes, mom?
<DeathStar> 6* Isis coos at the cubs, while Lumi frowns
<Stretch`cell> Mykel> If the Academy is the first target this is going to be a hard fight...
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> theres still time for you, your mother and the cubs to escape
<Xanatos> 6* Simon paces back and forth.
<Stretch`cell> *Miyasha mewls and jumps for Shion*
<Xanatos> <Simon> I hate fighting. 6* He mumbles.
<Kemonohime> * Kasha ambles by Miyuki in fox form with a little suitcase in her mouth.
<DeathStar> <Shion> You're right, mother and the cubs need to go. 6* Rain steps up and Aska appears
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *turns to Rain and Aska*
<Luci> ALita> "Mmm..." *she peers around* "I wonder how many of the units that rated so much higher than us at the start are still here." *she seems off in her own world again, probably to not worry as much*
<DeathStar> <Shion> Aska, if you would take Isis and the cubs to a safe location for now
<DeathStar> 6* Rain turns to Aska, talking a moment. Aska nods and takes Isis, who holds the cubs. Isis eyes Miyuki warningly, before she is warped out
<Chaintan> <Miyuki>...I imagine she hates me right now
<Kemonohime> * Kasha blinks, dropping the mini suitcase and stands on her hind feet, swiping a paw angrily and kicking dust
<DeathStar> <Shion> You did knock her up with kids, giving her no choice but to run
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel rubs Alita's shoulder comfortingly*
<DeathStar> 6* Celsius blinks and picks Kasha up, signing a question, asking if she wants to be taken to shelter
<DeathStar> 6* Shion deadpans at her other mother
<Stretch`cell> *Miyasha mewls again and headbuts against Shion*
<Kemonohime> * Kasha shrugs, somehow managing sign language with fox paws that she's a background character.
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> and it keeps her alive
<Xanatos> 6* Simon lets out a breath, taking a second to steady his shaking hands.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "The Academy catacombs could be used for a secure retreat as long as we fall back to a section that has a backdoor, as it were. It would do no good if it became our tombs."
<DeathStar> 6* Celsius warps her out, returning later empty handed
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Oh, the catacombs are filled with lava now
<Kemonohime> * Kasha foxholes, popping out on top of Celsius' head deadpanned
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Ha ha ha. oops
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> and its not as if I myself have no sneaky fox plots
<DeathStar> <Salamander> I kind of made the Academy my base of power, leaving the Legion
<Xanatos> <Simon> That seems dangerous. 6He notes to Salamander
<Stretch`cell> Mykel> Calm down Simon, if the fight does come here we'll have enough on our hands to worry about. Don't spend time worrying about things that may occur.
<DeathStar> <Salamander> I've been making it so concentrated
<Kemonohime> * Kasha pats Celsius' head, signing that she's her favorite spirit right now, nodding.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...and there goes our one tactical advantage."
<DeathStar> <Celsius> *beams*
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Hmph. You want me to take back my power? I mean I'm kind of super powered here
<DeathStar> *She crosses her arms*
<Luci> Alita> "Besides having ample teleportation away from here?"
<Luci> Alita> "That counts as a tactical advantage right? THings turn sour we can leave."
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn just pets her pets watching and listening for now*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "It will have to be one, and pray that they cannot track it."
<DeathStar> <Salamander> True. I mean, with my power base here, I'm kind of the Academy Spirit now
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Why are you being so coy, Salamander? Have you not actually spoken to the Headmistress yet?
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> but you should go as well Shion
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy deadpans at Salamander.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Which places a great deal of pressure upon you, Lady Salamander."
<DeathStar> <Shion> Not yet. You need an army here. I remember what you told me.
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki sighs
<Xanatos> 6* Simon glances to Mykel after his advice and then looks around to everyone else.
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> very well but if we survive I am spanking you
<DeathStar> <Shion> *she turns to the spirits and the team* Alright, for now, we need to keep the fight away from the Dark Forest near the Academy. There's the nymphs here.
<DeathStar> <Shion> Also, I think it's a bad idea to have all the spirits too close together, they have ways to neutralize you all
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "How long until the nymphs are able to escape to safety?"
<DeathStar> <Shion> So, you all should move out, spread to the temples.
<DeathStar> <Shade> I've opened a portal to the original Dark Forest. They are slowly leaving
<Stretch`cell> Mykel> Teams of two then?
<DeathStar> 6* Aska and the others nod, turning to move out. Shion glances at her team
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Ah, and leave yoruselves a path of escape. These beings slay spirits."
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy brings her fingers to her mouth and whistles loudly. "Oi! Volt!"
<Xanatos> <Simon> Are we sending people to support the spirits or are we fighting here?
<Kemonohime> * Kasha glances at Aska, looking around to see if she brought Eve.
<DeathStar> <Shion> As for us. *She opens a map* If things go sour, we will be moving here. *she points at a map* No matter what, go here.
<DeathStar> 6* Aska did not
<Kemonohime> <Kasha> I'll support Aska.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "How long do we have to make it to this fallback point?"
<Xanatos> 6* Simon nods a few times, taking slow deep breath.
<DeathStar> <Shion> Our Unit will not support spirits, except for the Summoners.
<Xanatos> (s)
<DeathStar> <Shion> *She nods at Ellie*
<Stretch`cell> Maeryn> Wouldn't that be up to Sasha?
<Sara> * Ellie gives a slow acknowledging nod
<DeathStar> <Shion> I say, once things go bad. *She tries to remember what Yuki told her* Probably about an hour.
<Kemonohime> * Kasha inclines her head at Maeryn, not being part of the unit. She pops to human form, glancing at Miyuki and Shion as she passes.
<DeathStar> <Shion> Alright, lets get ready people. *She eyes Miyuki* I hope you know what you're doing. *Aska nods to Kasha, moving to a temple to guard, while Shade picks another, and so on. Sylph pulls on Ellie picking one*
<Luci> * Alita nods, frowning a bit.
<Kemonohime> <Kasha> Call if you need me..." she murmurs quietly, but figuring as a one-fox wrecking ball, she's combatantly best to be part of a splinter group like the tertiary great spirit group.
<Sara> * Ellie lets Sylph have the temple she picked, moving along
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar and company stand in the Presidental Tower, eyeing the maps and screens
<Xanatos> 6* Logan muses, peering things over.
<DeathStar> <Sen> Here they come
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly stands behind others, fidgetting with his tail while chewing on a corner of his lip*
<Luci> * Luci bites her lip watching.
<DeathStar> 6* She points, the ships coming out of lightspeed as they slow down. The ships seem to be composed of the crystal shards, and regular tech, are numerous, as they approach
<Xanatos> 6* Logan begins counting.
<DeathStar> <Tora> There has to be over 40.
<Chaintan> 6*Wolfe clenches his fist
<Xanatos> <Logan> Do we have planetary defenses?
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly flicks at his datareader and eyes the display*
<DeathStar> <Sen> Very little. <Tora> They will arrive within the hour and people are still getting on the ships.
<Luci> Luci> "If we do it's not enough to stave that off, they're going for shock and awe... which is amazingly effective against a planet that just crippled it's own growing fleet in a political conflict."
<DeathStar> 6* Sen takes a seat, activating satalites around Kumen, arming them
<Xanatos> <Logan> So we need a distraction?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "A conflict that they likely engineered for that very reason."
<DeathStar> <Tora> There is no distraction. Why do you think we've been dreading this
<Luci> Luci> "Long enough to get those people out of here."
<DeathStar> <Sen> *she muses, thinking, and moves off, waddling due to her pregnancy, to check on something*
<Stretch`cell> Jelly> So what can we actually do to get them time?
<Xanatos> <Logan> I think she's saying we can't do anything.
<Luci> Luci> "Anyone here believe in a diety? Prayer seems about it."
<DeathStar> <Tora> Right now, wait. Lets see what they do. *she eyes a quarter of the fleet begin to move for Geyze*
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> a few actually
<Jackieness> <Kira> "what about hitting them when they land?"
<DeathStar> <Tora> They won't land. Remember?
<DeathStar> <Tora> They will launch devices down to freeze the planet for decades until the subdue us.
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly clasps his hands around his tail* Oh Holy Tail...we need your help and protection...
<DeathStar> <Tora> Or crystalize us. If our subject was correct.
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining ships for Kumen begin to launch fighters, probably to attack the Aquarius and the war ships.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "So what do we do?"
<Luci> Luci> *frowns and hopes her husband isn't doing anything too stupid, closing her eyes*
<DeathStar> 6* Before they can launch and challenge them. Also to deal with the planetary devices.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Oh this is going to be terrible.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Luci> Luci> "They need to go."
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We might not have everyone, Erica, but if we keep waiting, they'll take out the planetary devices in the next 15 minutes, then begin to chew on us
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Before we can launch
<DeathStar> <Yuki> What do you want to do?
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin sits at tactical watching the scanners as well as the weapons and defensive systems*
<Luci> * Cookie sits in her spot, concentrating on her Team Coordination ability to keep the boarding going as fast as possible while they wait to launch.
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille has people who are boarding ships get into the cryogenics. Sealing them
<Sara> <Erica> We'll have to try to break through, but we also need to see how much of them we can slow down along the way to make it easier on the others.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *She muses* I suppose we could launch the warships first. Try to intercept.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I recommend launch. Stragglers can attempt to link up with the fleet via shuttles or trade ships."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> They'll lose but it might slow them
<Luci> Cookie> "Could launch in a trajectory that takes us to the opposite side of the planet."
<Sara> <Erica> Better to stand at the forefront ourselves and hope others can get on other ships... we have to stand strong as a beacon of hope and morale.
<Luci> Cookie> "I don't think their tactics include the thought that we're just going to cut our losses and run."
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki flips switches
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Alright, we can launch anytime. I'm pulling up the ramp now
<Sara> * Erica nods
<DeathStar> 6* The fighters are attacking the planetary system
<Sara> <Erica> It's unfortunate, but we'll save more people this way regardless.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And I'm linking the warships. Leaving behind the other ships to try to get a few more people
<Sara> <Erica> We need to see if we can take out some of these fighters on our way out.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> And giving them 25 more minutes or so
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Since the main fleet is still far out
<Sara> * Erica nods
<Luci> * COokie gulps a bit but readies the ship to lift off.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *sets scanners to analyze the flight patterns of the attacking ships*
<DeathStar> 6* The scanners begin to run for now
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille runs back up, panting and looks distressed about something as she moves to get into the tube
<DeathStar> 6* The Aquarius moves forward
<Luci> COokie> "What's wrong Mirelle?"
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin starts charging the weapons systems and powers up the shields*
<Luci> * Cookie moves them outward, asking while she flies.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Um, the dog girl leapt off the ramp at the last second
<DeathStar> <Mireille> I couldn't stop her
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Oh dog, I am so dead
<Luci> * Cookie raises an eyebrow. "Riki?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> At least we have the other one
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Um, yes. In the maid outfit
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille powers the ship even more
<Luci> Cookie> "Oh jeez..."
<Sara> <Erica> Reckless...
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin checks the scanners and starts picking targets*
<DeathStar> 6* They move towards the planetary defenses, thje other warships following, keyed to Erica's chair
<DeathStar> 6* There's about 200 fighters buzzing around, many dying due to the satalites
<Luci> Cookie> "ALright, moving to attack positions?"
<DeathStar> 6* With reinforcements coming
<Sara> <Erica> Aye. Kaylin, Mireille... be ready for a rough time.
<Stretch`cell> Kaylin> Orders Captain?
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille nods, and turns the spirit engines and weapons on
<Sara> <Erica> Fire at will. Liberally.
<Luci> Cookie> "OPeration Hold Out to let Slow People Board Other Ships and then Oh My Gawd Get Out of Dodge Commencing!" *she moves the ship into a path for a firing pattern*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *sends one of their transports off toward Geyze, trying to outrun the ships headed their way*
<Luci> Cookie> "Raming that to Operation Bigby's Gonna Kill Us."
<Luci> *Renaming
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin begins targeting sequences and starts with energy based weapons; firing at the closest cluster of attacking ships*
<DeathStar> 6* The fighters begin to blow up, exploding rapidly.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Presidental Tower
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Seems like the fighters are getting off our back for now
<Xanatos> <Logan> That Aquarius is very impressive.
<DeathStar> 6* Sen comes back up from where-ever she was
<Sara> <Chelsea> Probably a bad sign if they start to truly back off...
<DeathStar> <Sen> I was going over our old maps of the city, Tora
<DeathStar> <Sen> Back in the old days before the Corporations got more power and built over much of what we designed
<DeathStar> 6* Sen begins to bring up the maps
<Stretch`cell> Jelly> Old city? You mean underground?
<Luci> * Luci muses, peering at the screens. "Lemme guess, somewhere to effectively hide after all?"
<DeathStar> 6* Tora walks over
<DeathStar> <Sen> Once before we terraformed this area of this dead world, we had to use a powerful shield
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly steps closer and tries to copy the maps to his reader*
<DeathStar> <Sen> The workings of it are still here, in the center of the Presidental Tower, as well as three other generator points. But they are in the slum areas, as you call them today.
<Luci> Luci> "...This sounds like a job for Runners of the Tech Variety."
<Stretch`cell> Jelly> Shield? How powerful? Are its power supplies still connected?
<DeathStar> <Sen> But in addition to that, Tora and I did set up hide outs
<Xanatos> <Logan> SO we could maybe activate them and power a shield.
<DeathStar> <Sen> They will punch through the shield, there is no doubt about it. But it might give the ships more time. While the Aquarius fights
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So after we power up the shield, you are saying we can hide in these hide outs while they freeze the planet with their crystalization
<DeathStar> <Sen> Yes. I will delete the data on the computer. Memorize the locations
<Stretch`cell> Jelly> Boss lady? Give it a go? Perhaps even boost the shield a bit more?
<Xanatos> <Logan> So we're going to need to split up.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> The tech looks old. It might be dangerous to boost it more.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Guerilla warfare may be the only thing we have left after the bombs drop, so to speak."
<Stretch`cell> Jelly> But it's with the risk isn't it?
<Luci> * Luci grumbles quietly.
<Xanatos> <Logan> Not if you short out the equipment, then we have no shield.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Maybe, if you want possibily to blow in your face.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "If we had more than just now to work on the shields, but its too late to try anything special."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Anyway, it seems there's a point in Quad 1, Quad 4, and Quad 6
<Stretch`cell> Jelly> Last resort then...
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll take Quad 1
<DeathStar> <Asarar> The rest of you can decide the other slum spots
<DeathStar> 6* She moves off
<Luci> Luci> "I'll go wherever needed..." *she says, less chipper than usual*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I got six."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Remember. *she hugs Cypher close* to get back to a hideout
<Stretch`cell> Jelly> I guess 4 then...
<DeathStar> *Chel
<DeathStar> <Cypher> We'll go with Kira. Chel knows equipment
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Funny. Its the same quads with the primary space ports."
<Stretch`cell> Jelly> Kira, Boss...lemme copy the map to you.
<Sara> <Chelsea> Gotta do what we gotta do, Cy... *she nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher moves to go with with Kira
<Xanatos> <Logan> I'll fill in any gap.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Go with Jelly then, Logan
<Luci> Luci> "It looks like I'm watching Foxboy then."
<Xanatos> 6* Logan nods quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher nods to Luci, each of them taking the maps. Once all of them are gone, Sen turns to Tora, who holds up her hand
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly tries to send a copy of the map to both Kira and Asarar that has the hideouts marked on it*
<DeathStar> <Tora> You are pregnant. I will take the one below the Tower
<DeathStar> <Sen> It's the most dangerous and volatile
<DeathStar> <Tora> So be it
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Geyze
<DeathStar> 6* Shion relaxes a bit when the sky begins to darken.
<DeathStar> 6* Soon, 10 ships large crystal like ships begin to appear above the Academy, darkening the sky, turning day to night
<DeathStar> <Shade> They are here
<Xanatos> 6* Simon steps off to the side and kneels, taking a few deep breaths.
<Luci> Alita> "Feels just a little overwhelming."
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel stands quietly with Alita next to him, watching the ships* Those look friendly.
<DeathStar> 6* The ships open, ala Independence Day. Volt bounces around, and zooms up, entering the ship to do something
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...this is no time for levity, I fear."
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> That's mark one. Spira!
<DeathStar> 6* The second ship launches something, a large device, that enters the ground, and a rumbling occurs.
<DeathStar> <Spira> *gulps, trembling in fear. She looks for Shade, needing her to finish a dragon transformation*
<Luci> Talia> "They cheating!"
<Xanatos> 6* Simon slowly stands up, hands trembling as he peers up.
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Shade!
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> Whatever that is, let's go fuck it up.
<DeathStar> 6* Fighter ships begin to fly down from another ship, attacking the temples. They zoom by quick. Salamander fires fireballs, destroying a few. Shade steps over, touching Vyvy and forming a giant black dragon
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn looks to where the device landed* Hope the Spirits are working on stopping that...
<DeathStar> 6* Celsius tries to freeze ships, while Gnome forms giant blocks of Earth. Shion chants, forming fox fire to slap things about
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy leaps up and makes a beeline toward the device
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel reaches over and settles a hand on Alita's shoulder* Shall we dear one?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Salamander should direct some of her famed lava to try to disrupt that device."
<DeathStar> 6* The device is nearly inside the ground now
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Assuming Vyvy doesn;t eat it outright."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon gulps a few times and then tightens his hands on the spear, trying to calm himself down. After a bit he throws a water ball out towards one of the ship as it comes by trying to lead it so the ball freezes once the ball gets in the path.
<Luci> * Alita nods.
<DeathStar> 6* One of the ships explodes, tons of shards falling about. Volt tumbles, and turns into a spirit core, dead.
<Luci> Alita> "Let's get that core."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon turns and throws an ice shard toward that thing going into the ground.
<DeathStar> 6* Gnome jerks ,staring and grabs the core, growing stronger. While Aska flashes, blinding fighters, who are blowing up temples
<Kemonohime> * Vyvy grunts, trying to get there before it burrows too far, inhaling and focusing to unleash a spirit breath in an attempt to dirupt it
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "We lost Volt!"
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel smiles and forms into his own Dragon form; large silver wings sprouting. Waiting for Alita to climb up*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Try to get that device out of the ground! If possible, I think we should return it to them!"
<DeathStar> 6* The device jerks, clearly disrupted a bit, jerking and sputtering, and discharges early, unleashing it's payload of crystalization early, freezing Vyvy in place, a giant black dragon standing there for who knows how many years
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn rushes to recover the Volt Core*
<Kemonohime> <Vyvy> <Ugh...> she feels guilt, having called on the lazy bum to help them.
<Luci> * Alita aims he wand and casts Pillar of Fire down on the device too.
<DeathStar> 6* Gnome, now with two cores in her, slams more earth rocks into ships. Shion peers about, realizing they are losing as the ships drop another device into the ground nearby
<Luci> * Alita then climbs up.
<DeathStar> 6* Alita's fire does nothing. The device technically gone, just an area of crystal now.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon holds out his hand and attempts to call a hail of ice shards to disrupt the second device.
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel takes to the air, flying towards the device and uses TK lv 3 to pick up the device*
<DeathStar> 6* Mykel's TK Lv. 3 fails, the device simply too big.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Try to send that device back to the ship that dropped it! See if we cna turn their weapons on them!"
<Luci> * Alita frowns, holding onto him. <Keep your distance, look what the other did to Vyvy.>
<DeathStar> 6* After all, it can turn planets into crystal
<Luci> * Alita calls fire down on it from a range after burning a stamina.
<DeathStar> 6* Shion turns, the transport from the Aquarius appearing, flying and hovering near the Dark Forest.
<DeathStar> 6* alita's fire fails. It seems only after it lands is it vulnerable
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Everyone, cover the evacuation!"
<Luci> Alita> <Let's begin to head for the meeting point... we can't seem to do anything till it hits and then it's a risk.>
<DeathStar> <Shion> It seems our evacuation is early. Move for the mark on the map. The device pierces Miyuki's main temple, beginning to burrow into it. Celsius jerks and lands on top if it
<DeathStar> 6* Celsius leaps inside the temple to deal with it
<Xanatos> <Simon> We're going now?
<DeathStar> <Shion> We clearly cannot handle them.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Fallback!"
<DeathStar> 6* Shion falls back, peering around for her mother
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel flies towards the evac point, shooting fire at any of the ships that come near*
<Xanatos> <Simon> I cannot argue that. 6* Simon turns to move in a retreat as well
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki bites her lip watching the temple beging destroyed before she turns to face her daughter
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *leaps down from her vantage point and starts making a beeline for the evacuation point*
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn makes her way along the ground*
<DeathStar> 6* Celsius does what Vyvy did, and soon the entire temple is crystalized, with Celsius inside
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Dammit!! *She and Aska begin to attack, and bring down a second ship, crashing into the ground with a large explosion*
<Chaintan> <Miyuki>get moving, I will not be far behind
<DeathStar> <Salamander> Ha ha ha, two down
<DeathStar> <Shion> You better not b
<DeathStar> 6* Shion runs up the shuttle, with Gwen not far behind. He looks around for qui, but sees no sign of her. Hesitating
<DeathStar> <Gwen> QUI!!!
<Luci> Alita> "Damnit... if she's crystalized her core is trapped too."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon slows to a stop by Gwen and also turns to look for her.
<Sara> <Ellie> Ugh... All of this is terrible.
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph pants, peering at ellie
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph takes Ellie's hand
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn looks around to see if there's anyone injuredi
<DeathStar> <Sylph> Do you trust me, Ellie?
<Luci> Alita> "Gwen!? Where did she go?"
<Sara> * Ellie looks at Sylph
<Sara> <Ellie> ...Yes...?
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *looks around when she reaches the fallback point* "Who do we still have?"
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki listens hearing them call for Qui and looks about
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> QUI?
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel flaps his wings over head, scanning the grounds from the air*
<DeathStar> 6* Sylph forms into her big form, and wraps her arms around Ellie, kissing her. Ellie and Sylph seem to glow, morphing into one being. A moment later, Ellie is all that remains, a mixture of Sylph and Ellie, Ellie with Sylph's figure and wings, and having all her power for the moment
<DeathStar> 6* Qui seems trapped under a crystalized rock, her leg crystalized. She strains, seeming in pain
<DeathStar> <Gwen> I don't know. And we've lost Liana!
<Luci> * Alita points her out. "THere! We have to get her out of that!"
<Xanatos> <Simon> We're a few spirits down if you include those that are frozen. Also Vyvy.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...Liana? LIANA!"
<Kemonohime> * Kasha kneels by Qui quietly. "How are you, kiddo?"
<Sara> * Ellie focuses, trying to do what she feels Sylph would want her to do now...
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki hurries to Qui and helps Kasha
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel flies towards where Qui is trapped, landing nearby*
<DeathStar> 6* A fighter shoots Salamander, knocking her into the ground. Aska meanwhile gets blindsided, and jerks, her form seeming to jerk, as if it's falling apart. A third ship explode, raining parts and shards all down, hitting the transporta nd damaging
<Kemonohime> <Kasha> Oneesama. Freeze her leg.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *suddenly snaps her attention as she feels Aska being disrupted* "...Lady Aska?"
<DeathStar> 6* Ellie seems to have the power of the wind, and none of the spirit's weaknesses. It seems Sylph decided since the enemy can hurt spirits, she decided ellie would be best to attack now
<DeathStar> <Aska> Their weapons are dangerous to spirits...
<Kemonohime> * Kasha flicks an ear, distracted and glancing toward Aska.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "The spirits should withdraw before its too late."
<Luci> * Alita frowns. "Can we shatter the crustal around her leg without hurting her?"
<DeathStar> <Aska> We cannot leave Geyze; it would mean the death of the planet
<Sara> * Ellie tries to keep herself from uncertainty and flies, going on the attack, cringing.
<Xanatos> 6* Simon jerks at the debri landing and climbs on top of the shuttle, intent on using shielding abilities and counterattacks to defend it while everyone else gets their allies.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "And if these creatures kill you?"
<Kemonohime> <Kasha> Miyuki." She snaps. "Quickly, before it takes more of her. Freeze it."
<Luci> Alita> Better to leave before it's entirely frozen and come back to restore it later."
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki nods and freezes it
<DeathStar> 6* Aska frowns, then nods, grabbing Gnome and Salamander and warping out for now, moving to a new location
<DeathStar> 6* But refusing to leave Geyze.
<DeathStar> 6* Qui howls
<DeathStar> 6* A fighter attacks Ellie, trying to knock her down
<Kemonohime> * Kasha spinns a blade-like knife into her hand and worldlessly chops above the crystalized portion of Qui after Miyuki freezes the leg, then picks Qui up effortlessly.
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining seven space ships keep moving in lower, one more trying the device trick
<Luci> * Alita frowns and lays a hand on Qui, easing her pain as they work to extract her. "I'm sorry Qui, we can't take our time on this."
<Sara> * Ellie rolls to try to avoid the attacks
<DeathStar> 6* Qui's eyes water, looking ready to faint
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel will reach to pick up the trio in big scaly arms before launching to head back to the transport*
<DeathStar> 6* The fighter flies by Ellie, missing
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen figures Liana went back to find Celes, moving into the transport
<DeathStar> 6* Shion stoically defenses the shuttle with Simon, peering at him
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki moves to find any other stragglers
<Kemonohime> <Kasha> I hear them looking for Liana, oneesama.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "...everyone... tiem to evacuate. We're leaving..."
<Xanatos> <Simon> Things...aren't goign so well.
<Kemonohime> <Kasha> Find Celes.
<DeathStar> <Shion> No, but at least we took some of them out
<DeathStar> <Qui> C-Celes is at Hapian
<DeathStar> <Qui> With her child...
<Luci> * Alita casts some more healing on Qui to keep the damage on the minimum till they can fully take off the crystal.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "Celes went to the Hapian palace."
<Kemonohime> * Kasha nods. "Then Liana's what remains." She murmurs, closing her eyes a moment and sniffing a few times.
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel will fly quickly to set Qui and Kasha down at the ramp to the transport*
<Xanatos> 6* Simon would wait for the third device to land before trying to burn another stamina point to rain a hail storm of ice shards onto it.
<Luci> * Talia holds out her hands and uses Alita's Flame Shield ability by the shuttle to help protect it.
<Chaintan> <Miyuki> Liana!?
<DeathStar> 6* The device activates, flashing and begins to freeze the dark forest and close to the shuttle, but doesn't reach it
<DeathStar> <Shion> Damn them, atl east they only have a few more, if only each has one
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn sends her panther off to find Liana, scenting her down*
<Jackieness> <Sasha> "I did not see Liana during the battle..." *snaps her head as the device goes off* "...we're out of time."
<Xanatos> 6* Simon lets out a sigh.
<Xanatos> <Simon> I thought that was going to get us.
<Luci> Alita> *gets Qui into the shuttle* "THe next one will. Time to go."
<DeathStar> <Pilot> *he eyes his watch* We have to go if you want to board the Aquarius* Sorry
<DeathStar> 6* He begins to close the ramp
<DeathStar> 6* Shion swings into the shuttle
<Xanatos> 6* Simon hops down onto the closing ramp and backs quickly into the shuttle.
<Stretch`cell> *Mykel growls as he turns and looks around the area, transforming back and following after his wife*
<DeathStar> 6* Gwen kneels by his sister, brushing her forehead
<Luci> * Talia hops in and declares the shuttle soveriegn kitty territory.
<Jackieness> <Sasha> *turns and steps into the shuttle* "...where are you, Liana?"
<Luci> * Alita keeps treating Qui, focusing on that now and not their loss, trying to make sure Qui doesn't lose the leg.
<DeathStar> 6* Somewhere, Ellie likely brings down at fourth ship, having it crash dramatically into a ship. A part of her mind warns her of the shuttle, no doubt Sylph's remnants
<DeathStar> (Qui would have lost it)
<Luci> * Or doesn't bleed out from it.
<Luci> (There, totally graceful save.)
<Stretch`cell> *Maeryn sighs and steps on* I really did not wan my to get on one of these things*
<Sara> * Ellie moves to join the others, reluctantly
<DeathStar> 6* As Ellie flies in, Shion curses, slamming her fist at those who didn't make it. The transport lifting up
<Xanatos> 6* Simon peers out of the closing ramp one more time to survey the destruction before it fully shuts.
<DeathStar> 6* The pilot hits the boosters and zooms off
<Stretch`cell> *A lone black panther runs around trying to find Liana...likely next to Miyuki*
<Chaintan> 6*Miyuki looks up as the shuttle departs, her hand running on the head of the panther for a moment
<DeathStar> 6* A pale figure appears, with white hair and grabs Miyuki and yanks her out of the Academy ruins
<DeathStar> <Rain> Sorry. But time to run
<DeathStar> 6* She poofs into the shadows
<Luci> ALita> "Living to fight another day is the only victory we have here."
<DeathStar> 6* Yanking her back toward the Daemon Realm
<DeathStar> 6* Even as another device begins to come down
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Stretch`cell> *Panther growls and slinks off into the shadows alone*
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> <Yuki> The satalite defense is down; but we've taken out their fighters. The transports and other ships are leaving now. We gave them the time window they needed
<DeathStar> <Yuki> However, if you want to be a Captain Bitch, Erica
<DeathStar> 6* She waves her hand, bringing up a screen
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We are in range of a few of their ships
<DeathStar> <Yuki> We can see if our spirit tech weapons can hurt them as we flee
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin glances at the targeting screen and eyes the weapon systems to see if they're ready*
<Luci> * Cookie looks to the captain to see if she needs to do another attack pattern or to start boogeying.
<Sara> <Erica> Anything we can do to hamper the enemy advance is good... so long as we don't harm our own.
<DeathStar> 6* The long range weapons are online
<DeathStar> 6* The other ships are ready to be keyed into the Aquarius' flight path once Erica hits a button
<Stretch`cell> Kaylin> Permission to fire then?
<DeathStar> 6* A screen shows a lone transport flying from Geyze
<Luci> * Cookie nods and runs them through one last attack pattern, keying it so they can move into an escape trajectory.
<Jackieness> <Airym> "If that is your intention, then the Aquarius should take point and provide the screen for the remainder of our combat forces."
<Sara> <Erica> Your call, Kaylin, but please, be discrete. ... and cover the retreat of that transport.
<Luci> Cookie> "Well... one last one should give the transport time... here we go!"
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki taps a button, giving the transport permission to dock with them
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin targets the enemy ships in range and any that are close to the transport, firing the weapons*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Aim well, Kaylin. Do maximum damage. You'll only get one shot, since it'll drain Mireille
<DeathStar> 6* Prepare yourself, Kaylin
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Down, Left, Left, Right, Right, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Down, Up

<Xanatos> durrlludurlduud
<DeathStar> -0-
<Stretch`cell> Durrlldudlrduud
<DeathStar> 6* Kaylin misses completely, forgetting the rule of hit enter with whatever you have, but the power of Erica and Mireille's bond causes the shots to bend with the spirit tech to bend back and slam into 5 ships, blowing them completely
<Stretch`cell> (i didn't know that rule...)
<Luci> Cookie> "Umm.. brilliant curveball shot!?"
<Sara> <Erica> Well, I call that one luck...
<Luci> * Cookie begins their escape, planning a route to let the transport board. "Get ready for Operation FLEE!"
<Jackieness> <Airym> "This explains a great deal. Their apparent hate of spirits is perhaps derived from spirits being a threat to them."
<Stretch`cell> *Kaylin continues to watch for any of the crystal ships that can get close and pose a threat*
<DeathStar> 6* The Geyze transport docks
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Lets get out of here, love. Moving up to lightspeed now
<Sara> <Erica> We've gotta get going as soon as we've retrieved the transport, and that includes the other ships. *she readies to get them following, but waiting to not do so too soon... and then does so as soon as they are on an escape course*
<Jackieness> <Airym> "Though we have fled, I have collected a great deal of tactical data."
<DeathStar> 6* With the other ships locked onto them, once Yuki enters it, and Erica okays it, all of them begin to speed up and leave
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Kumen
<DeathStar> 6* Quad 6 Team
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher peers as they locate, benath a sewer system, what looks like a complicated generator system that is huge
<DeathStar> 6* It runs the length of the entire block, but is two centuries old
<DeathStar> 6* It looks rusted in areas, and has damage in others
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I used to crawl around in the vents just one level up from here when I was younger. Right beneath my feet..."
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Can you fix this, Chelsea? We have less than 10 minutes before they arrive and we still have a few transports that are making depatures
<Sara> <Chelsea> I do hope they'll give us a discount on rent after we've seen how damaged this place is. *she says dryly as she pulls out her tools* I'm going to try.
<DeathStar> 6* Prepare yourself, Chelsea

<DeathStar> 6* The thing sparks, sputters, and churns, then runs, the entire area running and shaking the place, the area above shaking
<DeathStar> <Cypher> THIS IS VERY LOUD
<DeathStar> 6* She takes her datareader, spotting the nearest safe house, since they don't have time to all meet up
<Sara> <Chelsea> It's a generator, they don't run on whispers, unfortunately!
<DeathStar> <Cypher> LETS GO. KIRA, ASARAR SAID SHE WOULD BE ADJUSTING A FEW THINGS AND WOULD MEET YOU AT THE SAFE HOUSE CLOSEST TO THE CLUB
<DeathStar> 6* She points at the map
<Jackieness> <Kira> "GOT IT!"
<Sara> * Chelsea burns perception and speed to see if she can make any helpful adjustments in the short time she has
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher thumbs up and grabs Chelsea, moving up onto ground level, contacting Bonnie to meet them at their safe house
<Sara> (Or not!)
<DeathStar> (er, she can wait!)
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Quad 4
<DeathStar> 6* Jelly's team would find their's in a half flooded area beneath the ground
<DeathStar> 6* With Wolfe protecting them
<Xanatos> 6* Logan peers the thing over, rubbing his chin.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly Wolfe's datapad beeps, since he has one
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly peers at the water* That could be a problem...
<Xanatos> 6* Logan looks to see if the water is around the device.
<DeathStar> 6* It is a few feet away
<Luci> * Luci mumbles a bit. "Don't say that. No problems allowed."
<DeathStar> 6* But the device is above it
<Xanatos> <Logan> Let's hop we can keep it away. Come'on Jells, let's try to get this going.
<Xanatos> (hope)
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly moves over to check the device itself*
<Luci> Luci> "I can hold the water away from it for a bit if you need."
<DeathStar> 6* The device just needs to be turned on. With a simple OG. Very simple. PREPARE YOURSELF
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Down, Right

<Xanatos> dul
<Stretch`cell> Dul
<DeathStar> 6* The device turns on, shaking the room and making the water vibrate loudly. Wolfe's datapad keeps beeping, barely heard now
<Chaintan> 6*Wolfe tries to answer it
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly will look around for a water sub-pump to drain the water out of the area*
<Xanatos> <Logan> OH WOW THAT'S LOUD
<DeathStar> <Riki> Wolfe? Wolfe? I'm at the Club but can't find you. *She says, barely heard due to the generator; she doesn't know about the safehouses*
<DeathStar> 6* Jelly would see one but it is strangely high up
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> Riki!? why arent you with Yuki
<DeathStar> <Riki> I got lonely so I snuck out.
<DeathStar> *Riki sniffles*
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly holds his ears closed* Too loud! *looks for a way up*
<Xanatos> 6* Logan looks to see if there's any way to improve.
<DeathStar> 6* Logan would have to do an OG to improve it
<Luci> * Luci peers around, then tries Shield Jumping up to the pump.
<Xanatos> 6* Logan muses and decides against it, better to have it running than anything else at all.
<DeathStar> 6* Luci reaches it. The water drains
<DeathStar> 6* The team has a safehouse only a few blocks away from them
<Chaintan> 6*Wolfe growls
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> I'm coming to find you just stay somewhere safe
<Xanatos> <Logan> OKAY, LET'S GET TO THE CLOSES SAFE HOUSE. A FEW BLOCKS FROM US NOW.
<Stretch`cell> *Jelly nods and starts out, pulling up the map on his reader*
<Luci> * Luci then carefully climbs down. "Let's get to the safehouse. Wolfe, where is she?"
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> she's at the club
<DeathStar> 6* Sirens begin to go off. The armada has arrived. With all three generators on, it's up to the final key, the one in the palace to be turned on to delay them
<Luci> Luci> "I might be able to tell Max to get her and bring her to the safehouse."
<Luci> * Luci tries to send him a bond message to do just that.
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> she has my kids in her no way I'm going to trust anyone but me
<Chaintan> 6*Wolfe hurries towards the club
<DeathStar> 6* People above the street are panicking
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Palace
<DeathStar> <Tora> Okay. *she holds her gear* I'm going down. Sen. Go to the safe house. <Sen> But. <Tora> That is an order. *Sen goes to order but Tora snaps a fingers and the guards pick Sen up and begin to drag her off.*
<DeathStar> 6* Tora, pinning the datapad onto her shoulder, moves and takes an elevator down to the bottom
<DeathStar> <Tora> They are here, sweetie. With people still evacuating, I am traveling down to try to turn on a shield to buy people more time. The terraforming shield allowed people to get out but not let things in
<DeathStar> <Tora> Hopefully this will delay things. However, the lower levels of the palace are no longer stable after 200 years
<DeathStar> <Tora> Stepping off the elevator, I can already tell this area is dangerous, jagged edges, no lights, steam pipes loose. But to protect your mom and give her time, I would do anything. Anything that will let her...
<DeathStar> 6* At that moment, the narration crackles with damage as an explosion is heard directly above the palace
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Near the Club
<DeathStar> 6* Wolfe would see the one of the alien ships fire a blast down on the President Palace, blowing it to pieces
<Chaintan> 6*Wolfe reels but shakes his head sprinting for the club
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> RIKI!
<DeathStar> 6* Riki sits at a table as Wolfe enters
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> come on hon, we dont have much time
<DeathStar> <Riki> Wolfe! *She leaps into his arms* I-I heard a scary explosion.
<DeathStar> 6* She peers around
<Chaintan> 6*Wolfe gives her a kiss and hurries out with her
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> thats because the bad guys are here, thats why I wanted you with Yuki and the others
<DeathStar> 6* Riki hurries with Wolfe
* kalonZombhee has joined #DualSession135
<DeathStar> <Riki> I am with you. *she sniffs, taking charge for once*
<DeathStar> <Riki> I refuse to leave
<DeathStar> <Riki> Now, w-where are we going to hide? *She eyes the presidental tower on fire*
<Chaintan> <Wolfe> we're going to the safe house for now
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> <Tora Datapad> *crackles back to life, and she can be heard rambling, a woman clearly in pain* So visions of Wolfe and Riki. Can't see the others. Wonder why. *pants, can be heard pulling herself up, leaning over and hunhs, as if pulling something out of her gut* Sorry, little one, got to keep moving forward. Do what I set out to do.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Turn the final generator on. Turn the shield on. Ah, here it is. *the sounds of turning something, then slamming her hand on it can be heard* Come on. COME ON. *finally, the loud sounds of the generator can be heard, much like the other generators* There. It's on. The terraforming shield is up
<DeathStar> 6* Tora can be heard sliding down to sit. "Just need to sit and rest a bit. Just a little while."
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> <Tora> Hm... sorry... passed out. Wonder how long it's been. *Shifting* Datareader says 5 hours. Then it worked. The shield lasted. But it's getting cold. That's odd.
<DeathStar> <Tora> Wait a ... crystals are filling the room up. The shield must have come down
<DeathStar> <Tora> I hope one day you get this little one. *She can be heard crawling toward something* But down here...you'll never find this. Forgive me. I love you. But I got to make sure this one day reaches the surface. Got to get this onto the elevator before I crystalize. So hard to move. Lost a lot of blood down here. Sen, forgive me. I hope whoever listens to this, you can do better than we did
<DeathStar> -END-
