<DeathStar> 9.15.5991
<DeathStar> Location: The Club
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar seems to be preparing something, fiddling in the main office for scanners and other devices
<Seraphna> * Luci leans back, watching the newsfeeds.
<Xan> <Logan> Need any help?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I am just seeing what all we have. Thanks to Jelly apparantly getting brain damaged again, we don't know what happened in Quad 6. So I'm trying to find every type of scanner I can before I have us go investigating
<Jackieness> <Kira> *walks by, barefoot and in an oversized shirt that that hangs down to mid thigh. She holds a cup that she sips from.
<Seraphna> * Luci slowly looks over.
<DeathStar> <Cypher> *whistles at her, at a desk*
<Seraphna> * Luci also whistles.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hm. *she looks at Logan*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We don't have what I really need. You want to help?
<Xan> <Logan> Yeah, sure.
<Sathen> *Jelly looks over from his workstation and narrows his eyes at Asarar*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar jots a note onto something - an address at an upper level space port
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Go there and get the Aquarius people to give you the latest toys they havw
<Xan> 6* Logan takes it, peers at it a moment then pockets it and nods.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Somethign happen?"
<Xan> <Logan> Will do. Call if you think of anything else. 6* He moves over to pull his coat on, pausing a moment to peer Kira up and down before moving to leave.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> The Net no longer works in Quad 6 and reports of plant life and spirits flocking there more lately
<Sathen> Jelly> Nice if people told me I had brain damage...or even thought to try talking with me about things... *grumbles at the lack of results from his own searches on the net.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So I want us to check out Quad 6 for any secrets the Net might have hid
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...that's odd, isn't it? Net goes down and it becomes spirit nirvana?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I agree. And the Aquarius likely has better tech than us. But I'm interested since it's our next door neighbor and who knows what trouble it might cause us
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Sathen> Jelly> The core infrastructure that supported the Net in that Quad is...offline we'll say?
<DeathStar> Location: Aquarius
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki oversees the Aquarius overhaul, arms crossed
* kalonZombie has joined #DualSession165
<DeathStar> 6* Then glances down at applications to join the Aquarius, since they've become famous lately
<Seraphna> * Cookie hums as she hands Yuki a brownie.
<Sathen> *Kaylin looks over specs of a number of assault drones that are being installed as part of the overhaul*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Keep your strength up. This is Grandma Justice's super brownie."
<Jackieness> <Airym> *moves about the ship, overseeing specific upgrades*
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki sets down a few applications she invited over lately, eyeing the brownie
<Seraphna> Cookie> "It's +5." *it has a +5 written in pink frosting*
<Sara> * Chelsea looks over her shoulder at Airym for a moment, wiping sweat from her brow as she helps out with the overhaul
<Jackieness> <Airym> *wordlessly makes some adjustments and then moves on*
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki takes a bite, chewing, the plot not advancing until Logan shows
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Coff, hack, too sweet
<DeathStar> *Yuki flails*
<Seraphna> * Cookie muses, tilting her head. "I see. I will use less of Kumen sugar next time."
<Sathen> *Kaylin works at the tactical station to get the drone control interface integrated with the other offensive systems*
<Seraphna> * Cookie wipes some frosting off her nose.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Are you snorting the sugar?
<kalonZombie> 6*From somewhere Denise shouts at how things are missing and out of place and whoever touched her kitchen is dead
<Xan> 6* Logan shows! Walking up towards the ship, he reaches out to Yuki to announce his arrival on datareader.
<Seraphna> Cookie> "N-No... ...once, but I wanted to see what would happen."
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki tilts her head and walks to the hanger area, the bay doors open
<Seraphna> * Cookie leans in and whispers, "I think I saw the Matrix." *she walks with Yuki*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I think you watch too many centuries old movies
<Xan> <Logan> Hello, Yuki. Sorry to bother, but Asarar sent me.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Asarar? What can we do? *she notifies Erica on theside*
<Sara> * Chelsea puts down her wrench and looks over at the sound of Logan's voice
<Seraphna> * Cookie waves. "I'm sure we can share some."
<Xan> <Logan> Have you heard of what's been going on with Quad 6?
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille peeks over Chelsea, watching
<Sara> * Chelsea blinks at her, as Erica arrives at Yuki's side
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Hm? Not really. Hold on. *she grabs a datapad, not a native of the area*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Is that the one with the questionable asian style food?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> It's actual asians there. Dork
<Xan> <Logan> We had an incident, a complete and totally loss of the Net. Now there's a bunch of spirits flocking there.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Something happen? Ah, I see, some of our spirits have been going there lately
<Seraphna> Cookie> "They totally have all the recipes different though." *she pouts*
<Jackieness> <Airym> *walks into view, head tilted to the side*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I didn't even know they left the ship. So what do you need?
<Xan> <Logan> We're going to investigate but we're missing some gear, I assume she's wanting some of the tech you all use here, being that your tech works with and around spirits.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Hm. Sure. *she turns to Erica* Think we should take a look, too?
<Sathen> *Kaylin moves over and stands behind Cookie looking over Logan*
<Sara> <Erica> It's worth knowing more. *she nods*
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki taps a few buttons to have spirit equipment, then whistles for Mireille and Yul. to come over
<Seraphna> * Cookie smiles, considering the line she opened up with.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> You two are the oldest spirits. You want to come along?
<Jackieness> <Airym> "I can calibrate the ship sensors. Portable units can be sync'd to triangulate."
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Do I get to buy new clothes? <Yuki> Nooooo? Yees? Erica can decide
<Xan> <Logan> Thanks, I'm sure between the two groups we'll be able to sort out what's going on there.
<DeathStar> <Yulindhe> *looks lazy, not usually one to do stuff unless Sao makes her*
<Sara> <Erica> ...If you're really good, Mirei.
<Sathen> *Kaylin pulls out one of her SMG's and checks it before returning it to her back* Ready when ordered
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Yay. *she holds an adult clothing magazine cherishedly, while Yuki thumbs up Airym
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Alright, lets go to the Asian district
<Seraphna> * Cookie leans over to Yuli. "Special treats just for you if you do good?"
<DeathStar> <Yulindhe> .... like what?
<Seraphna> Cookie> "I'll make you whatever you want. We've got all the treat supplies you could want on Kumen, even some from Geyze!"
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> You should go, Yuli." She leans on the entry with dark circles under her eys.
<Xan> <Logan> I'll get this gear over to Asarar. Thanks again. 6* He goes to lifts up the crate of spirit equipment.
<Sara> <Erica> Saoir, you look like you haven't been getting enough sleep...
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Maybe we need to sing her a lullaby?
<DeathStar> *Yuki noodies Saorise, while Yulindhe agrees, relucantly*
<Kemonohime> * Saoirse grins, showing her teeth a bit. "I haven't, honestly.
<Sathen> *Kaylin will reach over and pick up the crate easily, looking at Logan to lead the way*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "I could!" *she has that 'I want to practice new Telepathy' look in her eyes*
<DeathStar> <Yulindhe> Alright, I want a giant man out of chocolate
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki gives Saorise a hug
<DeathStar> <Yuki> When I get back I'll knock you out
<Kemonohime> <Saoirse> But Yuli, you rarely tag along on these, and I don't think I'm going to be going anywhere any time soon. It'd make me feel better if you could watch Miryuca for me.
<Seraphna> * Cookie nods. "Got it. Super Choco-Man."
<Xan> 6* Logan pauses and slowly pulls out his datareader to see if Asarar wants to meet him there or if he should bring the equipment back to the club.
<DeathStar> <Yulindhe> Understood
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar responds they will head to the Quad 6 section themselves
<DeathStar> *Chelsea gets a notice of the mission if she has time, while Yuki heads out with her team*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Quad 6, Back Alleys
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar and Cypher kneel down, setting up equipment Logan brought when Erica's group shows up
<Xan> <Logan> I figured they might be able to pick up on some spirit stuff that we would miss.
<Sathen> *Jelly stands behind Asarar and Cypher, looking around the area; Kaylin sets the crate to one side and watches it, the equipment and the club team like a hawk*
<Seraphna> * Luci and Cookie talk about something, Cookie nodding and touching her forehead.
<kalonZombie> <Max> <What was that about?>
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki sits on a crate, while Mireille runs around the back alleys. She pauses when some slimey men eye Mireille, sizing her up to steal
<DeathStar> <Yulindhe> .... *she sighs, feeling too lazy to go over there*
<Seraphna> Luci> <She's helping me figure out this Psion stuff.>
<Jackieness> <Kira> *is also present, though wearing baggier clothing than her typical skintight ensembles*
<Sathen> *Kaylin will move over and put a hand on Mireille's shoulder, guiding her back to the others and taking note of the guys*
<Sara> * Chelsea quietly slips in with her team, while Erica pats Yuki on the head
<Xan> 6* Logan helps set up the equipment when he can
<Seraphna> * Cookie looks over at the slimeballs and narrows her eyes, and a group of big looking thugs step up behind the men, one cracking knuckles. (Illusions)
<DeathStar> 6* The slavers quickly step away, while Asarar and Cypher turn the device on
<Sathen> *Jelly ovvers Chelsea her usual pack of tools that he keeps 'borrowing'*
<Sathen> ((offers))
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright, lets see what the scanners get
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille hops back to Erica, hiding behind her, while Yuki wags
<Seraphna> * Cookie grins and lets the Illusion Thufs stand guard while they last, looking menacing and stuff.
<Jackieness> <Airym> *comm* "Captain, calibrations of ship sensors are complete. We will sync when you start scanning."
<Xan> 6* Logan steps back, watching the readings.
<DeathStar> *Asarar flips it on. It seems to be detecting large amounts of spiritual energy in the area
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Huh. *Cypher hugs Chelsea*
<Seraphna> * Luci peeks over.
<Sathen> *Jelly shrugs and looks past Asarar to the readout*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> It fills the entire area. Should we split up and see if we can find the source?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Up to Erica.
<Xan> 6* Logan rubs the back of his neck.
<Sara> <Erica> Yeah. We'll cover more ground if we split up, so...
<Seraphna> Luci> "So... take down a net construct... and spirit energy rules again?"
<Xan> <Logan> Yeah...pretty weird.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Alright. I'll take Yulindhe as my guide. Other than that, everone pick their teams
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I still think its very strange."
<DeathStar> *Asarar grabs an energy detector and moves off*
<Sara> <Chelsea> I'll stick with you, Asarar. *she follows her*
<Seraphna> Luci> "The net is a construct though so... does this mean it was put there to repress spirits, or was it just an accident of design?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I'm team Erica
<Seraphna> Cookie> "I'm with Yukiii!"
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Good question.
<Sara> <Erica> It could go either way; what if it's the other way around in some odd way? Who knows.
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher follows Asarar, while Mireille picks up goggles to scan the area*
<Sathen> Jelly> I'm reserving my judgement on that.
<Xan> 6* Logan sticks with his team, following Asarar.
<Jackieness> <Kira> *moves after Asarar*
<Sathen> *Jelly moves to follow Asarar*
<Sara> * Erica gets a scanner and heads in a different direction from Asarar & co.
<DeathStar> -Camera, team Erica-
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki walks along, with Mireille follows. She seems to be looking around curiously
<Sathen> *Kaylin follows after Yuki*
<Seraphna> * Cookie follows her cousin.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *once they reach the spot where there's more spirit energy readings, Yuki looks around. It's a chinese shop, claiming to have great noodles*
<Sara> * Erica waves the scanner around slowly, eyes focused mostly on it; she almost trips over an empty soda can
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Nothing. *Mireille steadies Erica*
<DeathStar> <Yuki> No spirits here, just food
<Sara> <Erica> So... A noodle shop? I wonder if their noodles are spiritually enriched
<Sara> * She notes
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Noodles..."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Good question.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Mireille, you have anything? <Mireille> Hm? This area feels nice and calming
<DeathStar> *She nods*
<Sara> <Erica> Shall we go inside? At worst, we can get some of these great noodles
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki shrugs and steps in. Indeed, they can see noodles being made and people sitting on stools, hunched over waiting on their orders. There's a picture of Riki up, since she became President.
<DeathStar> 6* The chef looks to be ancient
<Sathen> *Kaylin looks around the area before they head inside, scanning over the patrons*
<Sara> * Erica eyes the picture of Riki, making a slight face, before she moves to take a seat, gesturing to Yuki to keep scanning
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki scans around. She shrugs, indicating they should be on top of the source
<DeathStar> 6* The chef moves over
<DeathStar> <Chef> You order? Food good
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille hops onto a stool and spins
<Seraphna> * Cookie sits with Mirelle. "Whatever your most special noodles are!"
<Sara> * Erica nods and puts in a big order for everyone
<Sathen> *Kaylin moves over to stand behind Cookie and Mireille*
<DeathStar> <Chef> Very good. *he moves off to begin preparing them* <Yuki> Maybe we're just not seeing what is here.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I mean I heard tales of people vanishing using the Net
<Sara> <Erica> So this is going to sound crazy *she notes to the others* but bear with me here, what if the net is still there and that's where the spirits are?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> *she nods to Erica* We think alike
<Seraphna> Cookie> "So they're going into the place the Net is or was?"
<Sara> <Erica> Purely theoretically, yeah.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Well, none of us are Net losers, so how do we get in? If it is there. *the noodles are put forth in front of them*
<DeathStar> *losers - users
<Seraphna> * Cookie noms them down as she tries to feel out with her senses, wondering if psionics can somehow percieve this.
<DeathStar> 6* Cookie can feel happiness radiating from Mireille being there, pain in his back from the chef, one of the customers likes to stab people, and another is worried about bills
<Seraphna> * Cookie frowns and peers over at Stabby, then secretly takes a picture and sends it to the runners for a job later.
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Hm. If spirits can go there, maybe Mireille can cross into the Net
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Taking us.
<Sathen> Kaylin> Given my synthetics could I have some way of assisting?
<Sathen> Kaylin> Since the Net is a technical construct area?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> You have Net capabilities. Well, can't hurt to try. *She turns to Erica*
<Sara> <Erica> Hmm. What do you think, my little Mirei?
<Seraphna> * Cookie also writes a perscription for back medication out for the Chef as an extra tip.
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Sure. *she waves her arms* Lets do it
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Team - Cypher
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher runs her hand along Chelsea's back while Asarar stops at a place, squinting, then feels the wall
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Find something?"
<Sathen> *Jelly yawns and stops behind Kira, admiring the baggy view*
<Xan> <Logan> Is it like last time?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We're getting large amounts of spirit energy. It's near the place we found the core
<Jackieness> <Kira> "So what do you think, Jelly? Feel any vibes like when you plugged yourself in there?"
<Seraphna> Luci> "Does that mean our team wins?"
<kalonZombie> <Max> Yes.
<Sathen> *Jelly looks around, double-checking the area quickly*
<DeathStar> *Yulindhe eyes Max, then sizes him up*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well, if it is here, we're not seeing it
<Xan> <Logan> Yulindhe, do you see anything?
<kalonZombie> 6*Max is nearly 7 feet tall and a mountain of muscle. He doesn't notice Yulindhe sizing him up
<Sathen> Jelly> Nope...no scrolling code. No overwhelming Node of information. Notta.
<DeathStar> <Yulindhe> See? No. Feel. Hm. *she thinks* I might could try to shift this plain of existence to it
<Sara> <Chelsea> Not even a fishing net
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar taps her Net codes, and gets an error, but it seems to be trying to run through
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Hm. *she pushes Logan close and makes him touch Yulindhe*
<DeathStar> <Yulindhe> ... eh. *she eyes Logan*
<Xan> <Logan> Er, well please, do. 6* He reaches out to place his hand on her shoulder, he gives Cypher a look.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "I wonder... what if the Net wasn't built from scratch? They just hijacked soemthign spirit-related that was already there and slaps tech into it."
<Sathen> *Jelly will reach over and put his hand on Asarar's elbow*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> That might be. Logan, run this program. I brought a mini Net transporter. *she sets it down*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> *she then holds her hand up, waiting to see what data Logan gets*
<Xan> 6* Logan nods and uses his other hand to execute the program.
<Seraphna> * Luci reaches over and touches gently. Somewhere.
<DeathStar> 6* Logan and Yulindhe fade away, like ghosts, much like entering the Net, taking Luci. Asarar studies the data*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Got it. *she eyes the connection going through*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar puts transporters on everyone
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Key into mine. Lets go
<Jackieness> <Kira> *taps and then nods*
<Sathen> *Jelly accepts his and keys it*
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar taps her datareader. Suddenly, they are in the mirror look alike of the Net, but instead of being night like always, it's evening
<DeathStar> 6* Yulindhe is next to them, spinning
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hrm. I'm beginning to wondr if I should have called up the summoners. *she glances around*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "And do what?"
<Seraphna> Luci> "Maybe. This is freaky."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I don't know, but this isn't the Net. My Net abilities work, but this is off
<DeathStar> <Cypher> So where is this?
<Sathen> *Jelly looks around once they appear, to see if anything stands out to him*
<Seraphna> Luci> Spirit-Net?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Spirit net....
<Xan> <Logan> Yeah, it certainly doesn't feel like the Net. I don't feel the power I have when I'm normally in the net.
<kalonZombie> <Max> Spirit net!
<DeathStar> 6* Jelly would see a lot of fog about, and the area feels lighter than the normal world
<Xan> <Logan> Didn't Shion talk about something like that?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We might could modify our devices to work here. For now, lets find the source. It should be behind the wall
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar begins to climb over it, grabbing loose bricks
<DeathStar> <Cypher> ... *she picks Chelsea up to toss up*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "What is happening to this place?" *starts climbing*
<Xan> 6* Logan turns to the wall and reaches out, motions with his hands that he'll help lift people up.
<DeathStar> 6* Yulindhe rolls her eyes and walks through the wall. Asarar pauses
<Sathen> *Jelly waves at the fog a bit before following after, climbing much like a fox would over the bricks; his tail waving around behind him*
<Xan> <Logan> Erm. I want that ability.
<Seraphna> * Luci tries to form her jumping shield to see if it works.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Good question. *She pulls up those Logan helps up, then hops over the other side
<Jackieness> <Kira> *hops over*
<DeathStar> 6* It does
<Seraphna> Luci> "Cool!"
<kalonZombie> 6*Max moves over to help boost people up
<Seraphna> * Luci leaps up herself then.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Seraphna> Luci> "Seems at least Dragoon powers work here."
<Sara> * Chelsea looks at Cypher, then follows after Asarar
<DeathStar> 6* Doing what the others do, Erica and company vanish in the noodle shop, making the chef freak out and the bill worrier flee
<DeathStar> 6* They appear in a mirror image of the noodle shop, void of food, and opposite
<DeathStar> <Mireille> *twirls on her stool*
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki plays with a clock, the numbers backwards
<DeathStar> <Yuki> So this is the net
<Seraphna> Cookie> "It's kinda like virtual rooms on the holo-net then?"
<Seraphna> * Cookie pokes Yuki. "Only... we're really in it."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Hey, watch the tits
<Sathen> *Kaylin pauses for a moment before looking around*
<Seraphna> Cookie> "Easy target."
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki smacks her rear. Kaylin would see something glowing in the kitchen area
<Seraphna> * Cookie squeaks
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I'll easy target you. Only two people get to touch these
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille gropes Yuki and runs into the kitchen
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... three
<Sathen> Kaylin> Illumination present in the back...
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki hides behind Erica, eyeing the back
<DeathStar> <Yuki> ... who wants to go in there?
<Sathen> *Kaylin pulls out her SMG and starts going towards the kitchen*
<Seraphna> * Cookie huffs a bit, looking quiet a moment before peering about. She follows Mirei.
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki uses her tail to slap Cookie's breasts, then follows
<Seraphna> * Cookie eeps again.
<DeathStar> 6* As they enter, they would see a lot of tiny spirits, like the ones around Geyze. The cloud like creatures float around what looks to be doorway, without actual doors. It's just a large rectangle shape with glowing light
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Is this god?
<DeathStar> <Mireille> *sits, playing with the tiny spirits, oblivious*
<Sathen> *Kaylin doesn't seem to be worried about the spirits, looking more at the door itself* Orders Captain?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Eh...heh. *her fox ears twitch* So who wants to go through it?
<Sara> <Erica> What a curious place...
<Sara> <Erica> I'm the Captain -- I'll go first. Everyone else follow if it seems safe. *she begins to step forward*
<DeathStar> 6* Yuki looks out the back of the noodle shop at the mirror image of Quad 6, backwards
<Seraphna> Cookie> "I-I-I g-guess I could look?"
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Eri, becareful
<Seraphna> * Cookie blinks and watches Erica instead.
<Sathen> Kaylin> Willingness aside, I go where the Captain goes... *steps through the doorway immediately after Erica*
<DeathStar> 6* They both vanish, as if having walked through the doorway to another place. Yuki peers behind it, then takes a breath and leaps in
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille pauses then runs after them, leaving Cookie alone
<Seraphna> * Cookie follows Yuki as always.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar catches Chelsea, the Cypher lands
<DeathStar> 6* Behind them is a shack, with light glowing through it
<Xan> 6* Logan lands by Cypher and squints at the shack
<Xan> <Logan> That's a little different
<DeathStar> <Cypher> Oh that's not ominous
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher opens the shack door and a doorway glows.
<Sathen> *Jelly lands on his own, having been climbing on his own without complaining; he eyes the shack and the glow, his hair standing on end slightly*
<Jackieness> <Kira> "So... there a glowy shack in the real world?"
<Seraphna> * Luci peers around, tilting her head.
<Seraphna> Luci> "Maybe?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'm getting no data from it, and I doubt it.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I am getting high spiritial energy from it though
<kalonZombie> <Max> Is it a portal to the afterlife?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Why not step in and tell us?
<DeathStar> 6* Cypher hugs Chelsea protectively
<Seraphna> Luci> "I need him alive for things. Like opening Jars."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We have Logan now
<Sathen> *Jelly slowly approaches the doorway* So...should I step in first like last time big booty Boss Lade?
<Xan> <Logan> Yeah, I'll check.
<Sathen> (Lady)
<kalonZombie> <Max> I'm good at opening jars.
<Seraphna> Luci> "Ah yes. Good man Logan."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We don't need you getting more brain damaged. *She ties a rope around Logan*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Tug on it if it's safe, if not we'll yank you back
<Jackieness> <Kira> "He's calling you biig booty again."
<Xan> 6* Logan steps over to the open door and then, after a moment of looking it over, he tightens the knot and then nods to Asarar, stepping in.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I don't know why. I'm not that tall, nor haveing a large rear
<DeathStar> *Asarar peers at herself, her and Cypher 5'4
<DeathStar> 6* A few moments pass, then the rope tugs. Asarar takes a breath and steps in
<Sathen> Jelly> Well...it's not overly big...but it is nice. *grins innocently at Kira*
<Seraphna> * Luci shrugs and follows. "It is a nice booty."
<kalonZombie> 6*Max follows his wife in
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...moving right along..."
<Seraphna> Luci> "Oh right, so is yours Kira."
<Sathen> *Jelly follows after Kira* Yours isn't bad either, Legs.
<DeathStar> 6* The group finds themselves in a mirror image of a plain, grassy field. Fog floats and there's tons of tiny spirits about.
<Seraphna> * Luci tilts her head. "Either I'm reading Jelly's thoughts or I'm projecting mine onto him. I have no idea."
<Xan> <Logan> I don't think this is what a shack looks like inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar peers around, squinting, then looks around. A foresty area can be seen miles away that has buildings and tons of stuff going on there.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Is this Kumen's spirit world?"
<Seraphna> Luci> "Are we on Geyze?"
<Sathen> Jelly> I have beem a bit more...urgy...lately...*looks at Luci*
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I don't know. *she kneels, studying it* I think that might be the Academy down there. I only know due to helping them
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar turns back, eyeing the doorway. It seems to be floating there
<Seraphna> * Luci peers at it. "Should we go check? I could fly... at least one of you down there with me."
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar checks her datapad, finding the power here is weak, much like Geyze does
<Jackieness> <Kira> "...wait...how did we get to Geyze?"
<kalonZombie> <Max> We walkted through a door
<Xan> <Logan> Really? The academy? 6* He scratches his cheek.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Good question.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar motions for Luci to check it out, while she examines the doorway
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Thank you Max Obvious, Private Investigator."
<Seraphna> * Luci nods and turns into a Dragon.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> If this is Geyze, the Spirit-Net connects to Kumen somehow
<DeathStar> *Geyze
<kalonZombie> <Max> I'm a detective!
<Sathen> *Jelly looks around and checks his datareader as well*
<Seraphna> Luci> *peers at them all as if looking for a rider*
<kalonZombie> 6*Max hops on
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Which might be that through that doorway, is Kumen's spirit realm
<Seraphna> * Luci takes to the sky and starts flying down there.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> But who would cover it up with the Net?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Or why?"
<Sathen> Jelly> Somebody who doesn't like dealing with Spirits maybe?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Good question. *Luci and Max would see the academy buildings, all empty*
<Xan> <Logan> ...two worlds connected by a portal instead of space. You don't think this is related to those crystal aliens?
<kalonZombie> <Max> Weird. Where's all the kids Miss Miyuki was teaching?
<DeathStar> <Asarar> They might be. We've seen the crystal aliens move through doorways before
<Seraphna> * Luci flies about in a circle to scout it more before flying back. <Dunno... I hope everyone is alright.>
<DeathStar> <Asarar> They might have made those doorways
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets go back and meet with Erica. See what they found
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Maybe this isn't the Academy but rather itsa reflection in the Spirit World."
<Xan> <Logan> Could've been one they had hidden away...but I don't know, it seems a little different.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Could be. In the Net, the world is reflected. Not items, but buildings
<Seraphna> * Luci touches down and lets Max off before changing back.
<DeathStar> 6* Asarar moves back through
<Seraphna> Luci> "No one was home."
<Jackieness> <Kira> *moves through*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> *Erica and her team find themselves inside a village, with a large castle. Unlike the real world, this castle is only covered in fog and now and then they can see people moving through it on upper floors. As if this castle partially is connected to the real world
<DeathStar> 6* The castle looks partially incomplete, with no real doorway into it
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Now THAT is weird.
<Seraphna> * Cookie tilts her head and frowns. "This is... umm... that city with the Light Lady and those spirit machines, right?"
<Sara> <Erica> Huh... Definitely.
<Sathen> *Kaylin looks at the Castle* Could that be the Hapian Capital?
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Hapian? Yeah. This might be Hapian castle
<Seraphna> Cookie> "I remember the intel saying the place was partially in the Spirit Realm..."
<DeathStar> <Yuki> That might be why we're seeing people. *a maid is dusting the castle wall*
<DeathStar> 6* Yulindhe sits lazily, while Yuki turns to Erica
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I think we found a short cut to Kumen
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I wonder if the other quads, if they were taken down, would lead all over Geyze
<Sathen> Kaylin> An interesting idea...
<DeathStar> <Yuki> Not sure why they would close it up though. Maybe Tora knows
<DeathStar> *She turns and walks back through the doorway*
<Seraphna> * Cookie follows. "This should be secured."
<DeathStar> <Yulindhe> ... *she sighs and follows*
<DeathStar> -FINAL SCENE-
<DeathStar> 6* Both teams, back in the real world and in the Club, compare notes
<DeathStar> <Asarar> So you found a doorway to the Hapian capital, we found one to the Academy
<DeathStar> <Yuki> I still don't get why these shortcuts were closed off. *Asarar thinks*
<kalonZombie> 6*Max shows Luci his detetive license that he earned and most certainly did not write out in crayon on a napkin
<Sathen> *Kaylin arches an eyebrow at Asarar's statement*
<Xan> <Logan> I'm trying to even think how the Net could close off such a thing.
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Are you still on about that, Max?"
<Seraphna> * Luci pats him.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Lets go over what we know. The Net has been in place for decades. I mean there is tales of the NetRunners using it decades ago. I pose a theory, tell me if I'm wrong
<Sara> * Erica looks at Asarar, listening
<kalonZombie> <Max> It's official now. See? Riki signed it.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Once Kumen and Geyze were connected, but the spirits clearly began to die out on Kumen. Likely the Net is what is our version of the Spirit Realm. When people began to terraform Kumen, either the Spirits closed the Realm connector lest invaders come, or the colonists, not knowing what they had, used the Kumen Spirit Realm to form the Net. They put those nodes up all over the planet and the Net laid on top of the Spirit Realm
<Sathen> *Jelly sits to the side* A program with enough variables put into it to take into consideration all types of potential problems could overwrite an existing reality.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Meaning we couldn't reach the spirit realm since we were running on the program on top of it
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Well, who says they didn't use those shards Yuki is always looking for
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Yuki is from a reality where those shards had power
<DeathStar> <Cypher> If you're right, that node should have a shard
<Xan> <Logan> Should we go back and look for a shard?
<Jackieness> <Kira> "Assuming someone didn't already snake it after the node went down."
<DeathStar> <Asarar> We can. But for now, I recommend we keep this quiet. And don't bring the Network down or every TechRunner can reach Geyze
<DeathStar> <Asarar> And who knows what they can do
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Hopefully Quad 6 remains safe
<Seraphna> Luci> "HOw do we secure it?"
<DeathStar> <Asarar> Too big, too little of us. I'll let Riki know
<DeathStar> 6* Mireille tugs on Erica, then shows a gothic lolita outfit that shows a lot of skin
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Mireille good girl, want to buy this from Quad 2
<Sara> * Erica jerks
<Sathen> Jelly> Shouldn't need to, only the Spirits were able to enter.
<Sara> <Erica> ...Okay, but we're gonna buy a nice set of body tights for you to wear with it, okay?
<DeathStar> *Yuki coughs and grabs a beer, running to let Eriaca handle this - alone
<Xan> <Logan> Should we at least let the Academy folks know?
<DeathStar> <Mireille> Okay!
<Xan> <Logan> Just in case.
<DeathStar> <Asarar> I'll contact them
<DeathStar> *Asarar sets down food made in the kitchen by Ortora
<DeathStar> <Asarar> For now, lets have some time to talk to each other
<DeathStar> -END-
