[20:01] * Michelle O`Cain carefully resets her pistol, and then holsters it, "I do appreciate the flattery, though."
[20:02] <Michelle O`Cain> And if may say, you're beautiful, miss.
[20:03] * Matsumi Shin smirks and winks at michelle
[20:04] * Michelle O`Cain takes a sip of wine

[20:44] <Chibi-Nat> :<
[20:45] <Michelle O`Cain> Nope. ^_^;
[20:46] <Nelius Raoul> Any of you Matsumis got an idea as to who this party crasher is?
[20:46] * Chibi-Nat shakes her head

[00:21] <+luna_P> Welcome to Suburban Senshi: Burning Ourself Perfectly since 2002
*** Happy New Year!!
[00:22] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It looks like this thing has replaced what was at the centre of town.
[00:22] * The Palace is easily as high as Tokyo Tower and made of Silver Crystal. It's the same shape as the one from Sailormoon R
[00:22] <Michelle O`Cain> Why, though?
[00:23] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I have no idea.
[00:23] * @Eitak_Razal pulls on her coat and buttons it up "...Did somone just usher in the coming of Crystal Tokyo?
[00:23] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I don't know, but the rest fo the city seems decidedly non-crystal.
[00:24] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte doesn't bother with a coat as it's 50 out.
[00:25] *** Nelius Raoul [Overlord.Shura.CreativeChaos@Rasetsu.Coalition.nw] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[00:25] <+luna_P> Evening, Nelius Raoul
[00:25] <+luna_P> Welcome to Suburban Senshi: The gurgling has a name.
*** Happy New Year!!
[00:25] * Nelius Raoul lands, having taken a moment for an aerial view of his own. "We ready?"
[00:25] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte looks up at the Palace. It's eerily silent, just like a huge crystal silently looming upwards into the darkened night.
[00:25] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yeah.
[00:26] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte heads towards it
[00:26] * Michelle O`Cain follows Paisley over to the palace
[00:27] * Nelius Raoul heads with them as well.
[00:27] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It feels completely deserted.
[00:28] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte reaches out with her mind but can get no sense of anything living within it.
[00:28] <Michelle O`Cain> Anything?
[00:28] <@Eitak_Razal> Shouldn't there be people out partying? Or does Japan not do that
[00:28] <Nelius Raoul> Almost as if the structure alone was brought to this time....
[00:29] * Presumably all the revelry is in Tokyo proper
[00:29] <Nelius Raoul> Though was this a forward or backwards transport?
[00:30] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte lights her pipe and tries to scry this thing's timeline.
[00:30] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ..... from A future.
[00:30] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Not our future or even one closely adjacent.
[00:31] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That's all I can get.
[00:31] <Michelle O`Cain> Huh. A real puzzle, don't you think?
[00:31] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It's slipped backwards / sideways in time.
[00:31] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yeah.
[00:32] <Nelius Raoul> Hmm.... hopefully some clues lie inside, including which timeline or otherwise place it's from.
[00:32] <Hazel Ninegate> It was from a dying timeline.
[00:32] <@Eitak_Razal> Gah. That voice
[00:32] * Hazel Ninegate comes by, carryinh a coat and some items.
[00:33] <Hazel Ninegate> Someone called "Death Phanrtom" sent it here.
[00:33] <Hazel Ninegate> He's dead now.
[00:33] <Hazel Ninegate> As are his ambitions.
[00:33] <@Eitak_Razal> Wait, I thought the senshi killed/will kill him
[00:33] <Hazel Ninegate> Not in the timeline this Death Phantom was from.
[00:34] <Hazel Ninegate> He won his little war against them.
[00:34] <Hazel Ninegate> They all died.
[00:34] <@Eitak_Razal> Ah. No one that timeline died off
[00:34] <Hazel Ninegate> But he lacked the ability ot make use of... this.
[00:34] * Hazel Ninegate gestures to the palace.
[00:34] <Hazel Ninegate> The largest Silver Crystal in the Universe.
[00:35] <Hazel Ninegate> even his mind was incapable of using it without burning out.
[00:35] <Hazel Ninegate> So he formulated a plan.
[00:35] <Hazel Ninegate> He was going to create a hive mind of all the people left on his Earth.
[00:35] <Hazel Ninegate> The only problem was there weren't that many.
[00:36] <Hazel Ninegate> So he "infected" them with his will.
[00:36] <Hazel Ninegate> And he planned to send them here to infect all 8 billion of you.
[00:36] <Hazel Ninegate> Once you all became part of his hivemind, then he'd have the power needed.
[00:36] <Hazel Ninegate> But... he failed.
[00:36] <@Eitak_Razal> I'm guessing he failed?
[00:37] <Hazel Ninegate> I just said that.
[00:37] <Nelius Raoul> But I'm guessing you and Doc had something in stopping that plan?
[00:37] <Hazel Ninegate> ....yes.
[00:37] <Hazel Ninegate> However he'd already started the process of sending this here.
[00:37] <Hazel Ninegate> And he's "Grafted" it into this timeline.
[00:37] <Hazel Ninegate> So it lives here now.
[00:38] <Hazel Ninegate> To do with as you wish.
[00:38] <Hazel Ninegate> Since he's dead along with his zombies.
[00:39] <Nelius Raoul> ....oh boy. That's a recipe for disaster already. Pretty much every no-name with their own agenda is easily gonna try and use this thing for their own ends.
[00:39] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte is giving Ninegate the evil eye
[00:39] * Hazel Ninegate ignores the witch
[00:40] <Hazel Ninegate> ...That's not my problem.
[00:40] * Hazel Ninegate folds up the jacket and items she is carrying.
[00:40] <Hazel Ninegate> Good luck to you all.
[00:40] <@Eitak_Razal> Where's X?
[00:41] * Hazel Ninegate starts to head off to find Gemini Sunrise
[00:41] <Hazel Ninegate> Hmm?
[00:41] <Hazel Ninegate> Around, I expect.
[00:41] <Hazel Ninegate> I very much doubt you'll ever see him again, however.
[00:41] <@Eitak_Razal> ...
[00:41] <Hazel Ninegate> I'd probably address all correpondence to his wife.
[00:42] <Hazel Ninegate> ...Whom I now Ihave to find.
[00:42] <Hazel Ninegate> Because I'm some kind of delivery girl now, it seems.
[00:42] * Hazel Ninegate frowns, looking a bit harrowed.
[00:43] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ...Oi. What happened?
[00:43] <@Eitak_Razal> ...
[00:43] <Hazel Ninegate> I happened.
[00:43] <Hazel Ninegate> Let's leave it at that.
[00:44] * Hazel Ninegate sounds rather upset
[00:44] <Hazel Ninegate> Now if you will excuse me.
[00:44] <Nelius Raoul> (There's something more at play here....)
[00:44] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte goes to grab her arm and stop her
[00:44] * Hazel Ninegate YANKS it away
[00:45] <Hazel Ninegate> Look I DID what I HAD to do and he didn't have the STOMACH for it.
[00:45] <Hazel Ninegate> So now he's CRAWLED home to Gemini.
[00:45] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What... did you do?
[00:46] <Hazel Ninegate> ...There was no time.
[00:46] <Hazel Ninegate> There was no time and I had to act.
[00:46] * Hazel Ninegate isn't answering Paisley in particualr, just speaking out loud and has a thousand yard stare
[00:47] <Hazel Ninegate> If I hadn't, you'd all be infected by now.
[00:47] * Hazel Ninegate just walks off, not really paying attention anymore, looking genuinely traumatized.
[00:47] * Hazel Ninegate is away: I did what I had to do.
[00:47] <@Eitak_Razal> What could scare HER
[00:47] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ...
[00:48] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well you know...
[00:48] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> she crossed the Moral Event horizon once...
[00:48] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ....what fi she crossed bck?
[00:48] <@Eitak_Razal> ...can you even do that?
[00:49] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> People can change...
[00:49] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> but if she didn't change enough...
[00:49] <Nelius Raoul> She said that X headed back to Gemini. Let's hope he's in a coherent enough state to give some amount of context.
[00:49] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> maybe she terrifed herself.
[00:49] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> .....
[00:50] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> maybe.
[00:50] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte honestly has no idea.
[00:50] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But I don't set the sense Hazel was lying.
[00:51] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Nor is her personal issue the real problem here.
[00:51] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte points a thumb back at the Palace
[00:52] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> the largest Silver Crystal in the Universe just landed in our backyard in full view of the planet.
[00:52] <Nelius Raoul> Indeed. As I said before, this thing would be one hell of a floodlight for any power-hungry moron.
[00:52] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Exactly so.
[00:53] <Michelle O`Cain> So, what do we do with it?
[00:54] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte makes a ¯\(º_o)/¯ gesture
[00:54] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I've no idea.
[00:54] <@Eitak_Razal> Can we hide it with a glamor until we find a plan?
[00:54] <Nelius Raoul> Honestly, if there's no way to physically shrink this thing so it doesn't stick out, I'd say we need to find somewhere to stash it.
[00:55] <Michelle O`Cain> Honestly, I'm rather scared this is here in the first place.
[00:55] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The thing is larger than Tokyo Tower
[00:55] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well... I suppose you have your ways.
[00:56] <Michelle O`Cain> I don't think we have the means to actually tear this down, do we?
[00:57] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I've no idea. It's not like Magical Illusory Silver Imperium Ginzuishou Crystal is a common thing.
[00:57] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> For all we know it may resist simple attempts to move it.
[00:57] <@Eitak_Razal> ...
[00:57] <@Eitak_Razal> Could we wish on it.
[00:57] <Michelle O`Cain> True, Paisley. (turns to look at the palace)
[00:57] <@Eitak_Razal> It's a wish granting device right? We could wish it smaller?
[00:57] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I don't know vut wouldn't that take a lot of power?
[00:58] <Nelius Raoul> Would it even respond to us?
[00:58] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Doesn't Usagi almost DIE using the tiny one she has?
[00:58] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Hazel said Death Phantom was planning to enslave a hole planet to make it work.
[00:58] <@Eitak_Razal> Only when she didn't know how to use it.
[00:59] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well, I guess? I'm not an expert at all. We can but try?
[00:59] <Nelius Raoul> It's worth a shot. We're gonna need to learn more about this thing.
[01:00] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So how do we do this then? A circle? What?
[01:00] <@Eitak_Razal> ...I have no idea
[01:01] <@Eitak_Razal> It was just a suggestion. I have no idea how it works
[01:01] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte sighs
[01:02] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well, it's late and I need to get home.
[01:02] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I suggest we think more on this when it's not new Years' night and we (or at least me) are not quite so pissed
[01:02] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte has had a bit too much drink
[01:03] * Nelius Raoul decides to take the straight-forward approach. He approaches the gargantuan Crystal, to try and lay his left hand upon it to learn more.
[01:03] * it's warm to the touch, but it also feels like it will suck all the life out of you given half a chance if you open up to iy
[01:04] * ^it
[01:04] <Nelius Raoul> ......I wonder what the logic is in creating something that basically eats your life force in order to function.
[01:05] <@Eitak_Razal> Hmm
[01:06] * Michelle O`Cain shrugs
[01:06] <Nelius Raoul> Then again, considering that Phantom was basically planning to sacrifice this planet's population to get it to work....
[01:06] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> More tha likely it was never meant to be used at this scale.
[01:07] <Michelle O`Cain> But what would the point be in the first place?
[01:07] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Usagi's is a small lotus flower of a thing.
[01:07] <Nelius Raoul> Why am I not surprised.
[01:07] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> in theory one user, or a group of like minded users could use it to make small feats happen.
[01:08] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But just like building a laptop with a bigger screen, battery tech doesn't keep up
[01:08] <@Eitak_Razal> Hmmm.
[01:08] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I doubt the palace was MEANT to be used like its smaller cousin
[01:08] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> but it COULD be if someone was clever enough
[01:08] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And therein is the danger.
[01:09] <@Eitak_Razal> I'd love to have a peice of it, just a tiny fragment, to anyalyze.
[01:10] <Michelle O`Cain> We'd need something to cut the material. I don't know of any at the moment.
[01:10] <@Eitak_Razal> It's a magical device with no battery. It can grant wishes but it can't power them
[01:10] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What you said reminds me of the great pyramids.
[01:10] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Ddi you know they used ot be golden?
[01:10] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But everyone came by and chipped off small pieces
[01:10] <@Eitak_Razal> Wasn't it all stolen for use elsewhere?
[01:10] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> until a... yeah
[01:11] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I mean, you can try it.
[01:11] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> but imagine if everyone in tokyo tries it
[01:11] <@Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Imagine Simon Kerrick with a beach ball sized Ginzishou.
[01:11] <@Eitak_Razal> Yeah no. Only thing I got is my sword and it's connectedd to my magic. I don't need it sapping my magic out because it got pissed I tried to cut
[01:12] *** I need to drop, if you guys decide to do anything just fill me in tomm
[01:13] *** this is an open ended thing btw
[01:13] *** I don't want to tell you what to do with it
[01:13] *** I want your good guys and bad guys to act on it as they would
[01:13] <@Eitak_Razal> Hmmm.
[01:13] <Nelius Raoul> We're gonna need to keep a close eye on this thing.
[01:13] *** basically it's a plot device y'all can use as you wish or not at all
[01:14] *** with that i must peace out
[01:14] <Michelle O`Cain> Yeah. May even need to post guards we trust not to mess with this.
[01:14] <DD_Girl_Green> (( night X ))
[01:14] *** happy new year, all!
[01:14] <Michelle O`Cain> (( Happy New Year!! ))
[01:15] *** @Paisley Pythia Peinforte [paisely_p@firstcircle.karn03-kasterborusrelay.sen] has left #suburbansenshi3 (Sorry Exeter, coming home drunk, no fun tonight, just awkeard slovenly cuddles)
[01:22] *** Michelle O`Cain has left #suburbansenshi3 (Of all things to start the new year.)
[01:22] * Nelius Raoul calls up a few trustworthy people to keep tabs on this thing.
[01:30] <Nelius Raoul> And they're in place. I really don't like this situation.
[01:38] *** Nelius Raoul [Overlord.Shura.CreativeChaos@Rasetsu.Coalition.nw] has left #suburbansenshi3 (*headed home for a meeting with his people* (And tonight was supposed to be a celebration of the new year.... always figures there's some asshat looking to ruin things.))
[14:04] * @Paisley Pythia Peinforte plans THE MOST ROMANTIC NIGHT EVER
[19:39] * Chibi-Nat tries to steal that pizza! >:3
[19:16] <@spiritflame> Current Location is: Eastern Sahara desert
[19:31] *** welcome back to the cave with the hollow frame.
[19:32] *** it has been a while since two people went through the frame, however... yesterday
[19:33] *** The two fossilized objects.... were Magically De-fossilized.
[19:34] *** and soon... The frame once again lit up.
[19:34] *** David O`Cain [JRPMoonSoldier@MKArmyRanger.mil] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[19:34] <+luna_P> Evening, David O`Cain
[19:34] <+luna_P> Welcome to Suburban Senshi: Why can't we have kool handles like Superpope?
[19:35] * David O`Cain looks around the cave a bit
[19:37] <Archaeologist> about time you woke up
[19:38] <David O`Cain> What?
[19:39] <Archaeologist> you took a pretty nasty hit to the head over there.
[19:40] <David O`Cain> Man, what hit me?
[19:43] * Archaeologist points to some rock that got chipped off the wall... which was in the frame.
[19:43] <David O`Cain> Aw, man. How did I not see that?
[19:44] <Archaeologist> it's hot, mirages can happen
[19:44] *** The frame begins glowing again
[19:45] *** a portal appears in the frame once again!
[19:46] <David O`Cain> Hm?
[19:48] *** Miara has joined #suburbansenshi3
[19:48] <+luna_P> Evening, Miara
[19:48] <+luna_P> Welcome to Suburban Senshi: we don't wwebsite as on the internet
[19:55] <Miara> eh? aren't the others coming though?
[19:56] <David O`Cain> Hey, Miara.
[19:57] <Miara> yo dave
[19:58] * Miara makes tracks back through the cave toward the entrance
[20:01] * A horse Starts galloping into the cave, despote people trying to pull it back to no avail
[20:01] * David O`Cain follows Miara, "So, what happened?"
[20:02] <Miara> stuffs!
[20:03] <Miara> wow, that's one of the special desert horses, isn't it?
[20:03] <David O`Cain> Hm? I guess so. Seems to be in an awful hurry to be somewhere, though.
[20:04] *** D. Kakaku has joined #suburbansenshi3
[20:04] <+luna_P> Evening, D. Kakaku
[20:04] <+luna_P> Welcome to Suburban Senshi: It's be fortified with 100% Vitamin insane
[20:04] *** Maret Wane has joined #suburbansenshi3
[20:04] <+luna_P> Evening, Maret Wane
[20:04] <+luna_P> Welcome. Suburban Senshi needs Mike and the Bots.
[20:05] * D. Kakaku , Along with Maret, emerge from the portal inside the frame.
[20:06] * Miara calls back "Do either of you have a desert horse?"
[20:06] <Maret Wane> Nasmat?
[20:06] <D. Kakaku> never had a horse.
[20:07] <David O`Cain> Only time I have a horse is when I summon it. I don't think that horse is mine.
[20:08] * The Horse stops in front of Maret.
[20:11] <Miara> Guess she's hers, then. *continues on toward the exit*
[20:11] <D. Kakaku> so, how was the outside?
[20:12] * David O`Cain continues to follow MIara, "It's a desert. Dry heat and all that s[BLEEP]t."
[20:13] * D. Kakaku follows while Maret gets on the Horse and follows them out as well.
[20:14] <D. Kakaku> oh really?
[20:15] * Miara runs out into the dessert a bit until the feeling of the rock and enclosed space goes away
[20:16] <David O`Cain> So, what happened?
[20:17] <Archaeologist> Where were you two, you were both gone for the better part of two weeks!
[20:17] <Miara> time's weird sometimes!
[20:17] <D. Kakaku> ehh, turns out we had to wake someone up.
[20:18] <David O`Cain> Eh? Who?
[20:18] <Miara> well, there were two of us, and now there's 3, right?
[20:19] <D. Kakaku> yeah
[20:19] <David O`Cain> Yeah?
[20:20] <Maret Wane> yes.
[20:22] * David O`Cain looks at Maret Wane.
[20:22] *** Maret Wane is a short African girl with dark skin, hair usually pulled back into two puffs, and green eyes. She is usually in conservative clothing, may or may not be wearing a head scarf, and speaks British English with a heavy accent. [description by her old player] More information about her is Here.
Her image Song is: "The Call" by Regina Spektor.
She is Level 1.
[20:23] <David O`Cain> I see. Whos is she?
[20:23] <David O`Cain> ^Who
[20:25] <D. Kakaku> Her Name's Maret, she and Miara go way back somehow.
[20:26] *** As the last person steps out of the cave, it begins to crumble.
[20:27] <David O`Cain> Nice to meet you Maret. I'm David.
[20:28] <Maret Wane> and it is a pleasure to meet you as well.
[20:35] <David O`Cain> So, um, what now, folks?
[20:37] <D. Kakaku> dunno, I think we're finished here, because the cave seems to have collapsed.
[20:39] <Miara> not me, other miara
[20:39] <Miara> (( sorry, got sidetracked ))
[20:40] <Miara> how are you guys planning to get back, anyway?
[20:41] <D. Kakaku> same way we came in, plane
[20:41] <D. Kakaku> and besides, it looks like there's no door for about... *Looks intensely* ...50 miles.
[20:42] <Maret Wane> Can Nasmat come?
[20:43] * The Horse Whinnys and neighs, front hoofs into the air
[20:43] <Miara> ...if you're from Tokyo, how did the horse get here?
[20:43] <Miara> you mean a Hotel door?
[20:44] <Archaeologist> That rock we found earlier Transformed into that Horse!
[20:44] <Miara> there's a gate, but it's over near the nile.
[20:45] <Miara> so magically transported
[20:46] <David O`Cain> Hmm.
[20:46] <Archaeologist> No, That horse WAS the fossil we found
[20:46] <Miara> (( kore and the girls will have been making sure nasmat's taken care of where she's boarded, FYI. don't think i mentioned that earlier ))
[20:47] <Archaeologist> (( yeah, might have needed to mention it before I put the horse fossil there. I wasn't aware of that. ))
[20:48] <D. Kakaku> Where in the Nile?
[20:49] <Miara> (( nasmat's arrangements are in the wiki ))
[20:49] <Miara> near, i said. so where's the other door you mentioned? *pulls out her map*
[20:49] * David O`Cain headtilts a little
[20:50] <D. Kakaku> I said there isn't one for probably 50 miles
[20:50] <Miara> oh. so you don't know exactly where it is.
[20:52] <D. Kakaku> we're far from any city or town was what I was saying
[20:53] <Miara> well, i'll go for the gate, then. see you guys back at the Hotel
[20:59] <David O`Cain> What sort of gate, if I may ask?
[21:00] <Miara> astral gate
[21:01] <Miara> you know, like the one in Minato-ku that Eiry uses to get back and forth to VT
[21:01] <David O`Cain> Oh. Nevermind, then. I guess see you back at the Hotel the old fashioned way.
[21:07] <Miara> i don't know about you guys, but i can sure use a long run
[21:15] <David O`Cain> How long of a run?
[21:16] <Miara> here to there, it'll be nice
[21:16] <Miara> see you guys!
[21:16] <David O`Cain> Ah.
[21:17] <David O`Cain> See ya, Miara.
[21:17] * Miara quickly packs up her clothes in her bag and changes quickly
[21:17] * Miara[fur] lopes off into the desert
[21:19] *** Miara[fur] has left #suburbansenshi3 (Move me/with all your might)
[21:21] *** David O`Cain [JRPMoonSoldier@MKArmyRanger.mil] has left #suburbansenshi3 (Well, time to head to the airport, I suppose.)
[21:25] *** D. Kakaku has left #suburbansenshi3 (we still have a plane here... but ok.)
[21:25] *** Maret Wane has left #suburbansenshi3
[21:25] *** The Horse has left #suburbansenshi3
[21:29] <@spiritflame> Current Location is: null
[18:35] *** Meanwhile, inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone...
[18:37] * The Kits walk hurry back inside Yanov Station, carrying with them a few lead-lined boxes laden down with heavy contents and several bundles of various rifles and weapons.
[18:39] * is grinding her teeth and flattening her ears painfully. In the distance a strange bass rumbling can be heard as thick clouds start to slowly rotate and revolve around a central point far to the north. EMISSION APPROACHING!
[18:42] * closes the double-doors behind everyone and joins the group as multiple Stalkers crowd into the main lobby, congregating near their usual groups and pouring drinks of vodka to put the coming Emission out of their minds.
[18:43] * Chibi-Catri ^
[18:43] <Chibi-Catri> Okay! We're good!
[18:44] * Fiona starts checking out the bundles. "All right, let's see what we all brought back."
[18:45] * Gwen pulls everyone else into a nearby corner and starts checking everyone over, cleaning their wounds and bandaging anything that's more than a minor cut.
[18:48] * Chibi-AnTil records everything down onto his dataslate. They'd tried to investigate a large military complex to the south known as the Jupiter Plant, but were attacked by a group of bandits along the way. They killed ALL of the bandits. Afterwards, they'd collected not only all of the bandit's weapons and gear, but the loot that the bandits themselves had obtained after *they'd* ambushed a group of Stalkers earlier that day.
[19:05] <Fiona> Ammunition, some useful supplies, some stuff we can sell to Hawaiian, and some of these weapons look like they're in good enough condition that we can sell them to Bonesetter.
[19:10] *** Outside, the wind starts to pick up and howl. A lurid red glow begins to light the clouds to the north from within.
[19:13] *** THE STRANGE PORTAL OPENS UP JUST OUTSIDE YANOV STATION!
[19:15] *** Nelius Raoul [Overlord.Shura.CreativeChaos@Rasetsu.Coalition.nw] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[19:15] <+luna_P> Evening, Nelius Raoul
[19:15] <+luna_P> Welcome to Suburban Senshi: Open 25 hours a day!
[19:15] * Nelius Raoul flips out of the portal, gun already drawn and ready to fire.
[19:16] * Nelius Raoul takes a quick stock of his surroundings.
[19:17] *** TO your immediate left you see a large fortified stone building with a big set of closed double doors. To the north...HOLY S[BLEEP]T THERE'S A WAVE OF WHAT LOOKS LIKE FIRE SWEEPING DOWN FROM THE NORTH!!!
[19:19] <Nelius Raoul> (Anything around I can take advantage of?)
[19:20] *** Feel free to try those double-doors since they're less than ten feet away.
[19:21] <Nelius Raoul> (Might as well.)
[19:21] * Nelius Raoul strides over to check these double-doors.
[19:24] *** The doors open easily, revealing the crowded interior of the station.
[19:24] * The Kits all move aside as the doors open.
[19:24] <Chibi-Sylvester> Come on in! Don't stand there.
[19:24] <Nelius Raoul> Huh, ain't this convenient. Hey Kits.
[19:25] <Megan O`Cain> Yo.
[19:25] <Nelius Raoul> Hey Megan.
[19:25] <Megan O`Cain> What brings you to the Zone, Nelius?
[19:26] <Chibi-Catri> You're all here all at once?!
[19:26] <Chibi-AnTil> Didn't we just see you only a few days ago?
[19:26] <Megan O`Cain> Who?
[19:27] <Nelius Raoul> Aside from checking on how you guys are doing, I was also looking to find any extra info on that GR character.
[19:31] * Nelius Raoul looks over to Catri and AnTil. "What do you mean by that? This is the first time I've stepped over here."
[19:33] * Megan O`Cain decides to start assessing supplies
[19:34] <Chibi-AnTil> Are you all okay?
[19:34] <Chibi-Alex> Also! You were asking about the various factions here in the Zone, Megan?
[19:35] <Nelius Raoul> ....is there something I missed? I get the feeling we're not on the same page here.
[19:37] <Megan O`Cain> Yeah, Alex.
[19:37] <Chibi-Catri> Sorry, Mr Raoul. We've been seeing all kinds of weird things lately.
[19:38] * Gwen brings Nelius and Megan some food. Namely, some freshly heated Russian Tushonka!
[19:38] <Nelius Raoul> Given the oddities that Monica told me about, I can't say I'm too surprised.
[19:39] * Megan O`Cain takes the food even though she's been with the Kits the whole time
[19:40] <Chibi-Alex> How did you get here, Mr. Raoul?
[19:41] * Nelius Raoul respectfully declines the food. He ate before he got here. "A random portal opened in the Hotel. Burroughs alerted me to it, and so I checked it out. Atreya and Asa are over there keeping tabs on things whilst I'm here."
[19:42] <Chibi-Sylvester> That sounds weird.
[19:43] <Nelius Raoul> No weirder than most of the other shenanigans we've witnessed over the years.
[19:43] <Chibi-Alex> There are several major factions here inside the Zone - the Loners, Freedom, Duty, the Ecologists, Clear Sky, the Mercenaries, the Military, the Bandits, and Monolith.
[19:45] <Chibi-Alex> The Loners, or Free Stalkers, try to stay neutral with all of the factions and politics inside here. They mostly just want to find whatever fortune they can and not make waves. Their symbol is the yellow and black nuclear trifoil symbol.
[19:45] <Megan O`Cain> I see.
[19:47] *** Sean Collins [NobleFlame@TitansEarl.gov] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[19:47] <+luna_P> Evening, Sean Collins
[19:47] <+luna_P> Welcome to Suburban Senshi: Your Kung-fu is pretty useless, as well as obsolete!
[19:49] <Nelius Raoul> ??
[19:50] <Chibi-Alex> Freedom believes that the Zone is the greatest gift Humanity has ever received and that all information and materials inside the Zone, including the Artifacts, should be made available to the entire world. They're VERY open-minded. Maybe a little too open-minded. They use a lot of drugs like marijuana, so they're kinda like "hippies", but they have access to a lot of high-quality Western weapons.
[19:51] * Nelius Raoul takes a look outside.
[19:51] <Chibi-Alex> Duty is one of the more militant factions that originally part of the Soviet military before they got cut off from the outside by the Zone.
[19:51] <Sean Collins> What's going on here guys?
[19:52] <Megan O`Cain> Sean?
[19:52] <Sean Collins> Hey, just came through the portal
[19:52] <Nelius Raoul> Hey Sean. You decided to pop on through, too?
[19:53] *** You see that the land outside is bathed in a deep red-orange glow as the Emission rages. Just looking at it makes your head ache.
[19:54] <Chibi-Alex> Duty believes the opposite of Freedom, that the Zone is a dire threat to the whole world and everything about it needs to be contained, suppressed, and destroyed. Naturally, Freedom and Duty are at war with each other.
[19:54] <Sean Collins> Wondering what is going on in such a restricted area of Earth
[19:55] <Nelius Raoul> Honestly Sean, feels like reality is on a permanent break around here. Feels a lot like the boundaries of what is and what can be are so blurred as to be nonexistant.
[19:57] <Chibi-Alex> Clear Sky is the faction that's kind of a moderate group compared to Freedom and Duty. They believe that the Zone needs to be fully researched and explored in order to understand how best to deal with it. They believe that some things about it are beneficial, but other aspects need to be avoided.
[19:58] <Megan O`Cain> Hm. Makes sense, Alex.
[19:59] <Chibi-Alex> The Mercenaries are a big group of outsiders who have been hired by various agencies, corporations, and private individuals to complete all kinds of missions here in the Zone.
[20:00] * Megan O`Cain nods
[20:01] <Chibi-Alex> The Ecologists are a group of scientists who are actively exploring and researching the Zone, but they're different from Clear Sky in that where Clear Sky is mostly trying to understand the Zone for the sake of comprehending what it is, the Ecologists are working for various scientific institutes world-wide.
[20:03] <Chibi-Alex> The Bandits are just that...criminals. They prey on everyone here in the Zone.
[20:04] <Megan O`Cain> Any of them worthy of just KOS?
[20:05] <Chibi-Alex> And lastly, there's Monolith. They're a big group of religious fanatics who think that the Zone is something divine and they worship something called the Wish-Granter that apparently appeared inside the Chernobyl NPP.
[20:05] <Chibi-Alex> KOS?
[20:05] <Fiona> Kill on sight, you mean?
[20:05] <Sean Collins> Is it safe to investigate this place with all the radiation?
[20:05] <Megan O`Cain> Yeah.
[20:06] * The Kits all stare at each other for a moment before answering.
[20:06] <The Kits> The Bandits and Monolith.
[20:06] <Megan O`Cain> You got it.
[20:06] <Gwen> It IS safe to explore, Mr. Collins, but we have to be careful.
[20:06] * Sean Collins looks confused
[20:06] <Nelius Raoul> Chernobyl NPP?
[20:08] <Gwen> Some areas of the Zone have less radiation than others. It's always best to wear a gas mask and some kind of protective clothing. Plus there's lots of ways to help reduce the effects of radiation exposure here.
[20:08] <Gwen> Most notably vodka.
[20:08] <Chibi-Catri> The Nuclear Power Plant, Mr. Raoul.
[20:08] <Nelius Raoul> Aha. And this Wish-Granter.... is it a relic or an actual person?
[20:09] <Chibi-Catri> It's a relic of some kind.
[20:09] <Sean Collins> So what are we investigating, exactly?
[20:10] <Chibi-AnTil> They say that the Wish-Granter is something that appeared after the Second Chernobyl Incident and that it's not of this world.
[20:10] *** There's a commotion in a different part of the room.
[20:11] <Nelius Raoul> Hm... if I were a betting demon, then this Wish-Granter or its origin point is likely the cause of why the Zone is the way it is now.
[20:14] *** There's the sound of glass breaking as someone's shoved to the ground, and some shouting too.
[20:15] <Megan O`Cain> ?
[20:17] *** Several members of Duty have got a Stalker on the ground. Wait, it's that girl from earlier!
[20:17] * Sheila Marksvov clutching the package in her arms, refusing to give it up.
[20:18] <Duty member> Stalker! Hand that over! That came from Monolith! We NEED to investigate it now.
[20:19] <Megan O`Cain> What the hell?
[20:21] <Duty member> Come on, hand it over.
[20:21] <Sheila Marksvov> NO! It's for those children!
[20:22] * Megan O`Cain walks over, shotgun over her shoulder, "Is there something wrong?"
[20:23] <Duty member> Stay out of this, Stalker. This is Duty business.
[20:24] <Megan O`Cain> Is that so? Clearly she has something that should go to my friends.
[20:26] * Sheila Marksvov tries to get back up.
[20:27] <Sheila Marksvov> A Momolith trooper came recently, attempting to deliver this. He was wearing flags showing the symbol that the children wear on their suits. And of a place called "St Arcadia."
[20:27] <Sheila Marksvov> ^Monolith
[20:27] <Sheila Marksvov> He literally gave his life in the attempt to deliver it.
[20:28] * The Duty soldiers start to draw their weapons.
[20:28] <Megan O`Cain> Hmm. The same symbol as theirs (points over to the Kits)?
[20:29] * Sheila Marksvov nods and shows the banner in question. It is INDEED the Van Saar symbol.
[20:30] <Megan O`Cain> And you said a Monolith trooper with that flag was making the delivery. (looks at the Kits, and waves at least one of them over)
[20:30] * Sean Collins is just following along, observing
[20:30] * Chibi-AnTil quickly comes over.
[20:33] <Megan O`Cain> What do you think, Antil?
[20:34] <Chibi-AnTil> It sure looks like the symbol of the Federation.
[20:35] <Megan O`Cain> Alrighty.
[20:37] * Sheila Marksvov starts to hand it over, but the people from Duty step in between everyone.
[20:39] <Duty member> We are claiming that bag for Duty. It may contain vital intelligence about Monolith.
[20:39] * Megan O`Cain aims her shotgun at the back of one of the Duty soldier's heads as she racks a round into the chamber
[20:40] <Megan O`Cain> Kindly step away. That belongs to my friends.
[20:42] * Duty starts to draw their weapons, but members from Freedom stand up and brandish THEIR guns from the other side of the room.
[20:43] <Megan O`Cain> What'll it be, boys?
[20:44] * Sheila Marksvov ignores Duty as she hands over the bag.
[20:44] * Duty backs down.
[20:44] <Duty member> We will remember this, Stalker.
[20:44] * Duty member is away
[20:45] <Chibi-AnTil> ~__~;
[20:45] <Megan O`Cain> Hmph.
[20:45] <Nelius Raoul> ...friendly bunch.
[20:47] * Nelius Raoul clicks his gun back into semi-automatic fire and holsters it.
[20:47] * Megan O`Cain puts her shotgun away
[20:48] <Megan O`Cain> Come on. Let's see what was delivered.
[20:48] <Chibi-AnTil> Well, we're in it now. Duty's not happy with us, so we might just have to align with Freedom more in order to get protection.
[20:48] <Sheila Marksvov> Nyet.
[20:49] <Sheila Marksvov> Duty will probably be more angry at ME.
[20:50] <Sheila Marksvov> Anyway, this is yours.
[20:50] * Sheila Marksvov The package is a small bag made out of sturdy nylon that's in very good condition.
[20:51] *** ^
[20:52] <Megan O`Cain> Thank you.
[20:53] * The Kits all gather.
[20:54] * Chibi-AnTil opens the bag, revealing a big bundle of rags?
[20:54] <Megan O`Cain> Eh? What's all this?
[20:54] <Chibi-AnTil> Huh?
[20:54] *** Rummage through the rags?
[20:54] <Nelius Raoul> ....perhaps there is something within the rags?
[20:55] <Sean Collins> Anyone got a shovel?
[20:56] * Megan O`Cain carefully goes through the rags
[20:56] <Sean Collins> I don't like messing with anyone's dirty laudry directly.
[20:59] *** There's a flash-drive hidden inside the rags.
[20:59] <Megan O`Cain> Maybe something important is among the rags.
[20:59] <Megan O`Cain> Well, speak of the devil.
[21:02] <Nelius Raoul> Very interesting. Anyone got a device that can read it? Also maybe have a firewall ready, as an in-case measure?
[21:03] <Chibi-AnTil> My dataslate can
[21:03] * Chibi-AnTil inserts the flashdrive into his data-slate and tries to access it.
[21:03] <Megan O`Cain> Dean can help with protection measures, if that's alright.
[21:04] <Chibi-AnTil> I don't think I need them. There's a few files on here that aren't protected at all.
[21:04] <Chibi-AnTil> They're all map files.
[21:04] <Chibi-AnTil> One's of the Jupiter Plant.
[21:05] <Megan O`Cain> Ah, okay.
[21:06] <Chibi-AnTil> The other is of some kind of tunnel network that leads from the Jupiter Plant to...Pripyat!
[21:06] <Chibi-AnTil> This is a map leading to Pripyat!
[21:06] <Megan O`Cain> Eh?
[21:06] <Sean Collins> Jupiter plant?
[21:08] <Megan O`Cain> Why would someone from Monolith give us this? Furthermore, having the flag of the Van Saar Federation as well?
[21:08] <Chibi-AnTil> Yeah, that's to the south of here. We were trying to go there earlier today, but we had to turn back.
[21:09] <Chibi-Catri> I've scouted the Jupiter Plant a little. It's crawling with Zombies and mutants.
[21:09] <Sean Collins> Maybe we should head back to the hotel to analyze that drive
[21:11] <Chibi-AnTil> The last map file is of Pripyat itself. There are several areas marked on it.
[21:14] <Chibi-AnTil> Wait...there's a text file too.
[21:14] <Chibi-AnTil> ...
[21:14] * Megan O`Cain tries to take a look
[21:16] <Chibi-AnTil> It's notes for the map of Pripyat...Lab X18. Monolith strongpoints. And...a Van Saar outpost?!
[21:17] *** Sean Collins [NobleFlame@TitansEarl.gov] has left #suburbansenshi3 (I just can't follow)
[21:17] <Nelius Raoul> ...well, that just made this interesting.
[21:18] <Chibi-AnTil> Someone's giving us a direct route into Pripyat AND the location of several secret facilities.
[21:18] <Megan O`Cain> Hold on. What's a Van Saar outpost doing there?
[21:18] <Chibi-Alex> I don't know.
[21:19] <Chibi-Alex> But someone's gone to a lot of trouble to show us how to get there AND how to get past Monolith on the way.
[21:20] <Nelius Raoul> Sounds like there might've been an operation here in the past. If there's any information there, someone wants you to see it.
[21:21] <Chibi-AnTil> Sounds like we need to go...
[21:21] <Chibi-AnTil> ...!!
[21:21] <Megan O`Cain> Go where?
[21:21] <Chibi-AnTil> These files are using an ALLIANCE programming language!!!!
[21:21] <Megan O`Cain> Say what?!
[21:22] <Megan O`Cain> Weren't they wiped out years ago?
[21:23] <Nelius Raoul> I wonder.... might there be remnants still kicking about here? Or could these files have been provided by more turncoats?
[21:23] <Gwen> Don't know.
[21:24] <Gwen> But if there are other Van Saar in Pripyat, we should investigate.
[21:24] <Nelius Raoul> Looks like the only way to know is to go check this area out.
[21:25] <Megan O`Cain> Indeed. We'll need to get geared up for when we do go.
[21:27] *** Outside, the Emission has passed, and the Strange Portal has begun to visibly close.
[21:27] <Chibi-AnTil> We'll get started here.
[21:28] <Nelius Raoul> All right. Looks like my ticket back is closing.
[21:28] <Chibi-AnTil> In the meantime, can you find out if other Van Saar came here? Or why the Alliance would have an interest in the Zone?
[21:28] <Nelius Raoul> Can do. See you again.
[21:29] <Sheila Marksvov> Would someone please tell me what's going on?
[21:29] *** Nelius Raoul [Overlord.Shura.CreativeChaos@Rasetsu.Coalition.nw] has left #suburbansenshi3 ((Other Van Saar or Alliance in the Zone, eh? This'll be an interesting chat.))
[21:29] <Sheila Marksvov> Because I'm certainly going with you little brats.
[21:29] *** Sheila Marksvov has left #suburbansenshi3 ("And this will cost you.")
[21:30] * The Kits is away: Making preparations and doing research.
[21:30] *** Megan O`Cain has left #suburbansenshi3 (Let's get ready, then.)
[21:35] *** Meanwhile, GR peers out from behind some cover.
[21:35] <GR>“ (Van Saar and Alliance out this way... hm...)”
[21:36] <GR>“ (Guess I've some scouting to do.)”
[21:37] * GR dashes off towards their base. Time to arm themselves~

[09:21] * Hachi walks down the street, bundled up in against the cold. Her eyes dart around, always alert, though she appears relaxed.
[09:23] * Hachi pauses on her trek to lean against the side of a building where she takes out her phone from her coat pocket.
[09:26] * Hachi texts Kana-chan, her roommate and best friend, saying she'll meet her for lunch later. (I'm so glad we have of today.)
[09:26] <Hachi> Off^
[09:29] * Hachi makes her way to a nearby cafe. She sits at a booth near a window and gazes out forlornly.
[09:31] * Hachi smiles as the cute, older waitress comes over. She orders a hot chocolate and a banana cream-filled sweet bread. Hachi eyes the waitress as she leaves to go out in an order. She shakes her head, bemused.
[09:32] * Hachi pulls out her notebook and her Nagatenjouki Academy Lower Level/Junior High entrance exam practice workbook. She sets them on the table and opens them both to where she last left off.
[09:34] <Hachi> (It'll hurt, not being in the same school as Kana-chan and Mori-kun, but this is my best chance for my future. I'll be able to enter with a clean record, hiding my esper level and pretending I'm a level 0. I can focus on what needs to be done.)
[09:37] * Hachi writes notes on the questions she gets wrong. She looks it up in the book to try and understand it better.
[09:39] * Hachi looks up, startled, as the waitress sets down her order on the table. She smiles sheepishly, a faint blush on her cheeks, as she thanks the cute waitress. She puts her writing utensil down and takes the hot mug in her hands. Eyeing the mountain of real, fresh whipped cream with sprinkles, she smiles warmly, and takes a sip.
[09:42] * Hachi closes her eyes as she savors the thick, cloying, sweet chocolatey flavor as the heat pleasantly warms her up.
[09:45] * Hachi takes a few more sips, wipes her mouth with a napkin, sets her mug back down, pick a up her pastry, and takes a big bite. She nearly chokes on the custard but she manages, giggling to herself on the inside.
[09:47] * Hachi manages to eat half of the pastry before taking another sip of her hot cocoa. She refocuses and gets back to studying!
[10:02] * pauses in her studying to gaze out the window once more. Watching, but not really seeing, the people as they walk by.
[10:09] * uses her school card to pay for her meal. She blushes as the waitress winks at her before burying herself back into her studies.
[10:09] <Hachi> ^
[10:09] <Hachi> (Maybe Kana-chan is right. Maybe I am a Lesbian....)
[10:10] * Hachi shakes her head to try and get rid of her distracting thoughts so she can focus on her work.
[10:19] <Hachi> (If I can't get into Nagatenjouki.... )
[10:20] * Hachi bites her lip as her brows furrow. (There is no room for failure. I gotta be better.)
[10:31] * Hachi finally finishes off both her hot cocoa and her pastry. She checks the time on her watch and nods to herself. (I'll head out soon.)
[10:40] * Hachi packs her belongings away and gets to her feet. After bundling back up and making sure she has everything, she spares one last glance to the cute waitress before heading outside once again.
[10:41] * Hachi makes her way down the street, eyes narrowed against the chilling wind.
[10:48] * Hachi stumbles as a huge explosion from the street around the corner rocks the city block. Screams rise through the sound of falling debris and crashing.
[10:50] * Hachi quickly dashes into a nearby, narrow alleyway that she knows is a blind spot from the city's cameras. She raises her hand in the air, calls out the phrase "Europa Satellite Power, Make Up!" and transforms into the Legendary Sailor Guardian of Academy City, Sailor Europa!
[10:50] * Hachi is now known as Sailor Europa
[10:52] * Sailor Europa leaps to the top of one of the buildings beside her before leaping over to the next street to assess the damage and she how she can help.
[10:53] * Sailor Europa spots a certain auburn-haired teleporting member of Judgement already on the scene.
[10:54] * Sailor Europa narrows her eyes as she smiles thinly. (This might be a tough fight.)
[10:54] * Sailor Europa leaps into the fray, not even bothering with her traditional opening speech.
[10:55] <Sailor Europa> ♦ Frosty Conflagration!!!

[17:13] <@The Intern> What's the hunch?
[17:13] <D. Kakaku> yeah, remember what I said about how it looks like some of the crystal was chiseled off before I came in?
[17:14] <@The Intern> You think this store took some?
[17:14] <D. Kakaku> I think it's distributing it, yes.
[17:15] <D. Kakaku> and the name used, B.. was it Bitcoinium?... anyway.
[17:15] <@The Intern> I onder why they've named their store after a cryptocurrency
[17:15] <D. Kakaku> I think whoever's running that store was the one who chiseled it off.
[17:15] <D. Kakaku> don't know, maybe it's a naming thing.
[17:16] <@The Intern> S'not unreasonable.
[17:17] * a couple is walking along the same path, coming out of the Bi-Bi-Biconium Store!
[17:17] <Man> I think this jewel represents the love we share with eachother.
[17:18] <@The Intern> (I think Diamonds as a token of love are bloodstained ironic tokens of affection)
[17:19] <D. Kakaku> I mean, there have been some temporary businesses lately sharing that name.
[17:19] <@The Intern> Hmm. Usually fly-by-night Businesses would have the sense to change their names.
[17:21] <D. Kakaku> I wonder what the store that they came out of is?

[17:27] <@The Intern> (Did I walk into a musical?)
[17:28] <D. Kakaku> Hello?
[17:28] * Rat-Man turns at the register... Fancily dressed, unlike how he usually is.
[17:29] <Rat-Man> Hello! And welcome to Bi-Bi-Biconium, where we sell the finest of the NEw jewel in town, .... Bi-Bi-BiConium!
[17:29] <Rat-Man> ......
[17:30] <@The Intern> Bi-Bi-Bi-Conium, huh?
[17:30] <@The Intern> What makes it so special?
[17:31] * D. Kakaku goes towards the back.
[17:31] <D. Kakaku> keep him distracted.
[17:31] <Rat-Man> It is very lovingly farmed from the latest jewel to some on the scene! ....uhhh, have him step out... Don't Go Back There!
[17:32] <@The Intern> My wife might like nice present. Why should I buy this over other Diamonds?
[17:32] * @The Intern flashes a bunch of money to distract him
[17:32] <D. Kakaku> (well shoot, I'm ... almost been caught)
[17:33] <Rat-Man> ¥__¥
[17:34] <Rat-Man> Wellll, It has a Brillliant display of other properties, It can glow in the dark!
[17:34] * D. Kakaku sneaks into the back office, and starts checking around.
[17:34] <@The Intern> Ooh cool!
[17:34] <@The Intern> Is it radioactive?
[17:35] <Rat-Man> It's Most Definitely NOT radioactive!
[17:36] <Rat-Man> It can make your wishes come true.
[17:36] <@The Intern> :O No. Way
[17:36] <@The Intern> Like... any wish?
[17:36] * Rat-Man is not aware of that possibly being true, as far as he knows, it's just another lie he made up to sell the jewel
[17:37] <Rat-Man> oh yes (hook, line and 50,000 yen for me!)
[17:38] <@The Intern> Cool! Show me how that works!
[17:38] * D. Kakaku looks through the drawers, and finds a bag and a hammer.
[17:38] <Rat-Man> ...huh?
[17:38] <@The Intern> ...Well You can show me that it can grant wishes, right?
[17:39] <Rat-Man> umm...uhhh... well...
[17:39] <D. Kakaku> [[well, here's how he got past the sucking power, and one of his tools, but where's the chisel?
[17:39] <@The Intern> .................
[17:39] <D. Kakaku> (*^)
[17:40] <@The Intern> Wait a sec... your'e not trying to trick me, are you, mister?
[17:40] * @The Intern starts to put her money away, very slowly to make him a little more desperate
[17:40] <Rat-Man> WAHHH, WAIT!
[17:40] * D. Kakaku looks on the top of the desk... and... Bingo!
[17:41] <D. Kakaku> (and there it is...)
[17:41] * @The Intern stops putting her money away
[17:41] <@The Intern> Yeah?
[17:41] <Rat-Man> I can-I can definitely show you that it can grant wishes!.
[17:42] * Rat-Man puts on one of the rings
[17:42] <Rat-Man> I Wish for... uhhhhh..... More Rats in the Store!
[17:43] * Rat-Man Tumbles over!
[17:43] <Rat-Man> AUUUUUUGHHHH!
[17:43] * D. Kakaku opens the door and walks out of the back office.
[17:43] <@The Intern> ....................
[17:43] <D. Kakaku> Looks like we found our chiseler.
[17:43] <@The Intern> Yeah screw this. This is sucha rip off. You're gonna get such bad Yelp reviews
[17:44] * @The Intern actully starts dissing the store on Yelp
[17:44] <Rat-Man> NO! NOT A BAD YELP REVIEW!
[17:44] * @The Intern nods to Daniel
[17:44] <@The Intern> So you've been carving these off of that tower huh?
[17:44] <@The Intern> ¬_¬
[17:44] <Rat-Man> Ye-Yesssssss
[17:45] * @The Intern pulls out a staser and fires at the wall making a fairly sizeable hole in it
[17:45] <@The Intern> That. Stops. Now.
[17:45] <@The Intern> And you;'re going to give me all those rings.
[17:45] <@The Intern> For free ♡
[17:46] <Rat-Man> EH, No! No, Not for Free!
[17:46] <@The Intern> Or you're going to need to ewish for new reproductive organs.
[17:46] * @The Intern levels the gun at his crotch
[17:46] <@The Intern> Reconsider.
[17:46] <D. Kakaku> oh, there's one more way, Intern.
[17:46] <D. Kakaku> hmhmhmmmm.
[17:46] <@The Intern> Oh?
[17:47] <D. Kakaku> I Think I saw a Certain Cat walk around town this afternoon.
[17:47] <Rat-Man> O___O
[17:49] <D. Kakaku> he can either give them up now, or we can get her here and she can claw his face in.
[17:49] <D. Kakaku> and I think I saw Kitaro walking with her as well.
[17:50] * Rat-Man SCREAMS at the name "Kitaro"
[17:50] <Rat-Man> YAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH, TAKE THEM, TAKe THEM ALL!
[17:50] <@The Intern> Thank you ♫
[17:50] * @The Intern collects them all™
[17:50] <@The Intern> Let's go back to the HOTEL
[17:51] <D. Kakaku> yeah, I think we should., just blast another hole in...
[17:51] * D. Kakaku points to the office "There"
[17:51] * @The Intern does!
[17:52] *** as the wall is shot, it was a Wall to a safe... which money starts getting blown out of and into the streets.
[17:53] <D. Kakaku> See ya later, Rat-Man, glad this can be ended amicably.
[17:53] *** D. Kakaku has left #suburbansenshi3 (alright, back to the HOTEL we go.)
[17:54] *** @The Intern [NBPSBXAMD@cia674.panopticon.gallfrey.kasterborous.sen] has left #suburbansenshi3 (For this makeshift family I've made for myself through their friendship... I'll work as hard as I can to help everyone!)
[17:55] * Rat-Man starts trying to catch whatever remains of the money... only to bump into a bunch of Mafia guys for probably the 4th time this year.
[17:55] *** Rat-Man has left #suburbansenshi3 (OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!)
[17:55] <@spiritflame> Current Location is: null
[23:23] *** Shibuya
[23:23] *** there seems to be an oddly high level of police activity at the moment
[23:25] *** Matsumi Kaze [AirGal@QTech.com] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[23:25] <+luna_P> Evening, Matsumi Kaze
[23:25] <+luna_P> Welcome to Suburban Senshi: Awesome Overloaded, please try again later
[23:25] <Matsumi Kaze> .....wow
[23:25] * Anesha takes a look around the area, whilst also tapping into the plant network to see if there's anything else that needs checking out.
[23:26] *** David O`Cain [JRPMoonSoldier@MKArmyRanger.mil] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[23:26] <+luna_P> Evening, David O`Cain
[23:26] <+luna_P> Welcome to Suburban Senshi: We got yer Saucy, Cheeky Senshi rite here!
[23:27] <David O`Cain> The hell?
[23:29] *** Date Katame has joined #suburbansenshi3
[23:29] <+luna_P> Evening, Date Katame
[23:29] <+luna_P> Welcome to Suburban Senshi: who is she suppliy the drinks to?
[23:29] * Date Katame is trying to keep civilians back..and spots the bunch
[23:29] <Date Katame> ah..Kaze-san
[23:29] <Matsumi Kaze> Date..what's going on.....
[23:32] *** Date gestures over to what looks like a small crater.....something impacted there
[23:33] * David O`Cain tries to get a look at what is in the crater
[23:33] * Anesha gives a low whistle. (Wonder what crashed down today.)
[23:33] *** the crater doesn't seem to show anything in it.....except for the fact whatever hit it was smallish...about the size of a human
[23:36] <Anesha> Hmm... very curious.
[23:41] <Matsumi Kaze> that is weird....
[23:41] * Anesha decides to consult the local plantlife. If something did crash here, someone either had to have approached and obtained whatever crashed down...... or if it was indeed a person, then they likely wandered off somewhere.
[23:42] <Anesha> No weirder than most of whatever else goes on around here.
[23:42] <David O`Cain> Huh. Wonder what it was.
[23:42] <Anesha> Judging from the crater's size, whatever crashed couldn't be much bigger than the average human.
[23:43] <Matsumi Kaze> ......if so..where did they go then
[23:44] <Anesha> That presumes it was a person that crashed here. Someone could've been around in the area to appropriate whatever landed.
[23:45] <Anesha> Some people could be desperate enough to risk it.
[23:45] <David O`Cain> Hmmm.
[23:47] <Matsumi Kaze> but where do we start then?
[23:49] <Anesha> Aside from eye-witness reports, I'd imagine there had to have been some footage of the impact. Letting something like this go untracked would be a serious blindspot.
[23:50] <Matsumi Kaze> ...well how would we get that footage
[23:50] <David O`Cain> So true.
[23:52] <Anesha> Time to begin asking around. If memory serves, didn't a few of our pals also have some tech floating around in various places? Getting a few extra eyes and ears couldn't hurt.
[23:56] <Matsumi Kaze> that is true..i could put in a few contacts
[00:03] <David O`Cain> Same here. Start scrubbing the area down and such.
[00:06] <Matsumi Kaze> ..I don't know if there's anything we can do right now though
[00:08] <Anesha> Given what little we have to go on, I'd say keep an active ear to the ground. If the crater's former contents are on the move, then it'll only be a matter of time before it crops up, whether by word of mouth or by other means.
[00:09] * David O`Cain nods
[00:10] <Anesha> Best we can hope for is that whatever came down is of stable mind enough to understand our intentions of learning more and assisting where we can.
[00:21] <Anesha> Think we've done what we can for tonight?
[00:27] <Matsumi Kaze> I think so...
[00:27] <David O`Cain> Yeah. We've done all we could.
[00:30] <Anesha> Now comes the longest part --- the wait.
[00:33] <Anesha> I got a few pals I'm gonna go see before I head home. You two take care.
[00:34] * Matsumi Kaze nods and heads away
[00:34] *** Anesha [VineWhisperer@Makai.dw] has left #suburbansenshi3 (*with a shuffling of vines, she's on her way out*)
[00:43] *** David O`Cain [JRPMoonSoldier@MKArmyRanger.mil] has left #suburbansenshi3 (Think I'll head on home.)

[19:52] <+luna_P> Evening, Neo Sailor Saturn
[19:52] <+luna_P> Welcome to Suburban Senshi: It is your destiny.
[19:52] * Neo Sailor Saturn and several other Sailor Senshi arrive from the darkened sky. They land by one side of the enormous crystal.
[19:54] <Neo Sailor Neptune> Alright, so my girls will be taking up shifts every four hours, 2 at a time, like we spoke prior.
[19:54] <Neo Sailor Saturn> And you said they could have others stand guard with them as well?
[19:54] <Neo Sailor Neptune> Of course.
[19:56] *** Sailor Setebos has joined #suburbansenshi3
[19:56] <+luna_P> Evening, Sailor Setebos
[19:56] <+luna_P> Welcome to Suburban Senshi: Saves Your Soul.
[19:56] * Sailor Setebos walks over, her electronic gauntlets powering up
[19:58] <Sailor Setebos> ugh I was just about to upgrade my workspace too
[19:58] <Sailor Setebos> ok ok I'm here
[19:59] * Super Sailor Ganymede and Super Sailor Callisto are carrying baskets full of rocks. Sailors Metis, Thebe, Rhea, Hyperion, Umbriel, Larissa, and Galatea are also here.
[19:59] * Sailor Triton has fallen asleep against her trident
[20:00] * Super Sailor Larissa and Sailor Galatea stand to the side to take their positions on guard duty once everyone else's business is done.
[20:01] <Sailor Triton> zzzzz
[20:02] * Super Sailor Larissa goes over to Sailor Triton and gently shakes her in an attempt to wake up.
[20:02] <Sailor Triton> HUH WHAT I'M AWAKE
[20:02] <Neo Sailor Saturn> I managed to get into contact with Sailor Thelxinoe and told her what was going on.
[20:02] <Sailor Triton> oh..um..sorry
[20:02] * Neo Sailor Saturn takes out several small charms that look like the good luck charms you'd get at a shrine.
[20:03] <Neo Sailor Saturn> Once we set up the barriers and traps, we'll need each of us who will be setting one to imbue a bit of their power into one of these charms.
[20:04] <Neo Sailor Saturn> Thelxinoe will be able to create a master charm from all of these and then be able to duplicate it, so she tells me.
[20:04] <Neo Sailor Saturn> Once we have them made, they'll be used as a way to negate and nullify the traps we will be placing here.
[20:04] * Neo Sailor Saturn looks down at one of them. She has her doubts but doesn't voice them.
[20:04] <Sailor Triton> oh wow...
[20:05] * Neo Sailor Neptune turns to Sailor Setebos as Sailor Ganymede begins place her stones in a circle around the Crystal.
[20:05] <Neo Sailor Neptune> You'll be setting up the surveillance cameras?
[20:06] <Sailor Setebos> patched them in already!
[20:06] * Super Sailor Larissa pats the young girl on her head with a whispered, "Good job, kiddo."
[20:06] * Super Sailor Callisto helps carry the rest of Ganymede's rocks as she watches her wife work.
[20:06] <Neo Sailor Neptune> That's what I like to hear.
[20:06] * Neo Sailor Neptune smiles.
[20:07] <Super Sailor Genymede> Okay, the first ring is complete.
[20:07] * Sailor Triton smiles just a little
[20:07] <Super Sailor Genymede> Saturn, you'll be our last line of defense, so you can do this first.
[20:07] * Neo Sailor Saturn nods.
[20:08] * Neo Sailor Saturn goes one by one to each rock embedded into the ground. She puts a portion of her power into each stone. Once she's touched all of them, she steps back to the group.
[20:09] * Super Sailor Ganymede nods to Sailor Setebos as indication to turn on the stones.
[20:10] * Sailor Setebos taps on her gauntlet..activating the stones
[20:10] * Super Sailor Ganymede begins placing another circle of stones a bit farther from the ring closest to the Crystal.
[20:11] * Sailor Thebe whistles in awe as a pink/purple translucent dome appears from the stones and covers the Crystal.
[20:11] <Sailor Thebe> That's one of yer patented unbreakable shields, yeah, Satan?
[20:11] * Neo Sailor Saturn hides a cringe at Thebe's voice and nods. "They haven't broken so far."
[20:12] * Sailor Ganymede mouths a few words, lost in thought.
[20:13] <Super Sailor Callisto> I think you said Iapetus was next, right, dear?
[20:13] <Super Sailor Ganymede> Ah, right. Thanks.
[20:13] <Super Sailor Callisto> Rhea^
[20:13] <Super Sailor Ganymede> Your turn, Rhea.
[20:14] * Sailor Rhea goes to her ring of stones and imbues her power/essence into each one.
[20:14] * Neo Sailor Saturn imbues her essence into her own charm before giving one to Rhea to imbue with her power.
[20:14] <Super Sailor Ganymede> /Okay, Setebos. Let's turn this one on and see what we get.
[20:16] * Sailor Galatea watches from the sidelines, a little bored.
[20:16] * Sailor Setebos works on activating it
[20:17] * Sailor Triton wakls around..watching each Neptunian senshi
[20:17] * Sailor Galatea jumps with a start!
[20:18] *** The Crystal disappears. Instead, in its place appears to be a very large and ancient tree. As if it had been there for hundreds of years. There are signs posted that warn passerbys not to touch or climb it or get near it.
[20:18] * Sailor Rhea smirks, satisfied at her illusion.
[20:18] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Impressive. But it's been there for almost three weeks now
[20:19] * Super Sailor Ganymede works on the next three rings, further out from the crystal than the last.
[20:19] <Sailor Rhea> Should I change it?
[20:19] * Sailor Metis works with Ganymede for these next three rings of stones. She places her threads to connect each stone, like a trip wire.
[20:20] * Neo Sailor Uranus is sitting on a bench nearby "No I mean anyone that's seen this is gonna need more than an illusion to not be suspcious"
[20:20] <Sailor Hyperion> Well we have a few traps set up.
[20:21] <Sailor Hyperion> If you know anyone that has an Aura ability that can affect someone's mind to make them distracted, or make them turn around, or something like that, that would be helpful.
[20:21] <Sailor Thebe> Like a magic spell!
[20:21] * Sailor Hyperion rolls her eyes at the Jupiter Satellite Senshi.
[20:21] * Sailor Hyperion imbues her essence into the ring after the illusion.
[20:22] * Neo Sailor Saturn makes sure everyone's further away from this ring of stones before asking Setebos to activate it.
[20:22] * Sailor Skathi is sitting near by, trying to carefully move traffic away from them
[20:23] <Sailor Setebos> ok here we go
[20:23] * Sailor Setebos hits another button on the control
[20:23] <Neo Sailor Neptune> We spent the past few nights working this out with one another. It was the best we could come up with.
[20:23] *** Nothing seems to change as Setebos turns this ring on.
[20:24] <Sailor Hyperion> If someone trips this wire, my gravity forces will pin them to the ground flat. 10 times the gravity of Earh.
[20:24] <Sailor Hyperion> I can increase or decrease the amount, too, if you guys want.
[20:25] * Super Sailor Ganymede gestures to Sailor Umbriel to go to the next ring of stones.
[20:25] * Sailor Rhea wonders aloud what she should change the illusion to. "Maybe the Crystal with just a bunch of Caution tape and do not cross and official signs?"
[20:25] <Sailor Rhea> Or maybe make it look like it was stolen?
[20:27] * Sailor Umbriel touches her pendant to each stone, whispering. Once she's done, she stands back, away from the others.
[20:27] * Sailor Metis uses her thread for these stones as well.
[20:27] <Neo Sailor Saturn> This next one will cover the area with darkness.
[20:28] <Neo Sailor Saturn> If they were to advance further, they would then get hit with Hyperion's gravity change.
[20:28] <Neo Sailor Saturn> Most likely preventing them from going further, which'll give enough time for the Sailor Guardians on guard duty to take them down.
[20:29] * Super Sailor Ganymede puts down the last ring of stones, furthest from the Crystal.
[20:29] * Sailor Thebe feels a little uneasy.
[20:29] <Sailor Thebe> Are you sure shocking people as they come close is a good idea?
[20:30] <Neo Sailor Neptune> Do you think it's not?
[20:30] <Sailor Thebe> I dunno!
[20:30] <Sailor Thebe> If we had a way to just make them turn away in the first place...
[20:30] <Sailor Thebe> I don't want to harm innocent people...
[20:30] <Sailor Triton> I don't want others to get hurt either
[20:30] * Neo Sailor Saturn hides a groan.
[20:30] <Neo Sailor Saturn> Anyone have any bright ideas for our first line of defense?
[20:34] <Super Sailor Callisto> How about some hedges?
[20:34] *** Everyone looks at her. She smiles blandly.
[20:35] <Neo Sailor Neptune> Hedges?
[20:35] * Some rats scatter from their hiding place, running away from the heroines in all directions.
[20:35] <Super Sailor Callisto> Particularly thorny ones. Large ones.
[20:35] * Super Sailor Callisto starts to grin as the idea grows in her head.
[20:36] <Super Sailor Callisto> Living hedges that'll work together to dissuade anyone from attempting to climb them.
[20:36] <Neo Sailor Saturn> That doesn't sound half bad, actually...
[20:36] * ??? watches this from the top of a building.
[20:36] <Sailor Triton> ...I could make a sand trap?
[20:37] <Neo Sailor Neptune> Explain, Triton.
[20:38] * Super Sailor Callisto brushes past Triton and works on imbuing her essence/power into the last ring of stones. She hums to herself.
[20:39] <Sailor Triton> um..well..I can..try and soften some of the earth around it so people stepping on it might get stuck?
[20:39] * Neo Sailor Neptune frowns at Callisto.
[20:39] * Neo Ssilor Saturn raises an eyebrow as Callisto finishes her work.
[20:40] <Neo Ssilor Saturn> That's a good idea but it looks like Callisto took it upon herself to do her idea.
[20:40] <Neo Ssilor Saturn> Sorry.
[20:40] * Super Sailor Callisto smiles impishly at Triton before asking Setebos to turn on the last ring of stones.
[20:40] * ??? observes, but does not say anything.
[20:41] * Sailor Galatea feels a another presence watching them and looks around for them.
[20:42] * This person is invisible and cannot be detected by somebody just looking.
[20:43] * Sailor Skathi shrinks down to her smaller form and jumps onto Saturn's shoulder for safety
[20:43] * Sailor Galatea shrugs, though she feels uncomfortable.
[20:44] * Sailor Setebos activates the last object
[20:44] * Neo Sailor Saturn turns her head a bit to smile at Skathi.
[20:46] * Sailor Skathi smiles
[20:46] *** Very large, thick hedges suddenly begin to grow. They grow about [x] feet high, mostly obscuring the illusion/Crystal behind it. On the hedges are seemingly innocuous flowers. Hidden beneath the flowers are poisoned thorns, and tangling brambles and vines. There are several signs posted on the hedges that clearly say 'Do Not Climb.'
[20:46] * Super Sailor Callisto seems very pleased with herself.
[20:48] * Neo Sailor Saturn makes sure to hand out the charms and to get them back, once they've been imbued with the trap-setter's essence. She carefully accepts each charm into a specially oiled cloth, wrapping them up and placing them into a special inter-dimensional space pocket where she can then take them out to give back to Sailor Thelxinoe later.
[20:48] <This person is invisible> A couple of rats scamper away from the hedge.
[20:48] <This person is invisible> (( oops ))
[20:48] * A couple of rats scamper away from the hedge.
[20:48] * Neo Sailor Neptune turns to Uranus. "Well? What do you think?"
[20:49] * Sailor Rhea sidesteps a couple of the rats, a look of 'ew' on her face.
[20:49] *** three more rats rush away from where they were hiding here when Sailor Rhea get close.
[20:50] * Sailor Rhea frowns. (Is that an abnormal number of rats for this area?)
[20:50] * Sailor Rhea shrugs.
[20:50] <Sailor Hyperion> So we're done here, then?
[20:52] <Neo Sailor Saturn> I would say so. If anyone triggers any of the traps, Sailor Larissa and Galatea know to use the emergency signal on their communicators to contact for help if they need it.
[20:52] <Neo Sailor Saturn> Thank you all for your help.
[20:52] <Sailor Triton> it's no problem!
[20:54] *** The Saturn Satellite Senshi salute Neo Sailor Saturn before dispersing back to their homes. The Jupiter Satellite Senshi also take their leaves as well.
[20:55] <Neo Sailor Neptune> I think we've done a fine job.
[20:55] * Neo Sailor Neptune smiles at Sailors Setebos, Larissa, Galatea, and Triton.
[20:55] <Neo Sailor Saturn> I should have the new charms back for those that need it by tomorrow.
[20:56] <Neo Sailor Saturn> Two for whichever guards are currently on duty, and a few more made for those who are taking more responsibility of this.
[20:56] * Neo Sailor Neptune nods at Saturn.
[20:56] <Neo Sailor Neptune> Sounds good.
[20:57] * Sailor Galatea and Super Sailor Larissa take up posts on opposite sides of the hedges. They being to patrol. She makes sure to keep her aura Flared so it effects non-senshi at a much wider range. If anyone comes within [y] feet of her aura, they'll instinctively be drawn to her.
[20:58] <Neo Sailor Neptune> Want me to take you home, Triton?
[20:59] <Sailor Triton> oh! I would apperciate that!
[21:02] * Neo Sailor Neptune smiles. She leads the leader of the Neptune Satellite Senshi away, striking up conversation to see how she's doing.
[21:02] * Neo Sailor Saturn stays behind to gaze at the work they accomplished from working together.
[21:05] * Neo Sailor Saturn leaves as well to take the charms back to the mysterious Sailor Thelxinoe. (I hope the charms she makes from these don't fall into the wrong hands.)
[21:06] *** Most of the Sailor Guardians have now left. Sailor Galatea and Super Sailor Larissa diligently patrol the outer hedges. In four hours time, they will switch with another duo of Neptune Satellite Senshi. They will switch every four hours, a new duo taking their place. Perhaps, more and more Senshi can help guard as well as time progresses.
[21:07] * This invisible person waits until they are all gone, and then teleports, still invisible, closer to the outermost barrier to see what on earth is worth this tremendous amount of safeguarding.
[21:07] <@spiritflame> Current Location is: null
[21:07] <???> .......
[21:08] * ??? crosses their arms, but makes no noise, and looks at the hedge.
[21:09] * Sailor Galatea rounds one side/corner/edge? of the hedges, unknowingly walking towards the invisible person. She sighs, still feeling that unusual feeling from before.
[21:11] * ??? sees the new person coming, and turns themselves into insubstantial mist, letting the person walk right through them unimpeded, and continues to stare at the barriers for a while longer.
[21:11] <???> .....
[21:11] * ??? narrows her eyes.
[21:11] <Sailor Galatea> (( Would her Aura have affected this person? ))

[21:15] <Sailor Galatea> (( "She makes sure to keep her aura Flared so it effects non-senshi at a much wider range. If anyone comes within [y] feet of her aura, they'll instinctively be drawn to her." ))
[21:15] <Sailor Galatea> (( I couldn't remember how large her aura is around her. At least 10 feet? ))
[21:19] <???> (( that is sensible. I am doubtful that an aura that compelled mental fascination could affect the snooping person, though. If it did, though, she might just follow Sailor Galatea around for a while. The result would be the same, though. ))

[20:19] <Thrash 6> only one way to learn more

[20:20] <@Intern 3> You stay here and guard the base and keep up a mind-link with me.
[20:20] <@Intern 3> If we need backup, or if you see something, give me a shout or come be the calvary
[20:21] <Thrash 6> an excellent idea
[20:21] <@The Intern> Why do I have to---
[20:21] * @The Intern sighs
[20:21] <Thrash 6> Intern, I'm sure you will do a splendid job
[20:21] <@The Intern> Fine. Well hold on.
[20:21] * Thrash 6 smiles to Intern
[20:21] * @The Intern touches a hand to her future self's head and establishes a mind linek and updates her on the current state of affairs since these encounter tend to lead to muddled memories
[20:22] <@Intern 3> Cool. Got it. Thanks. Be safe, past me. It's not my time to show up yet :P
[20:22] * @The Intern grumbles and swipes the ba g of meatballs
[20:22] * Thrash 6 pats intern on the shoulder in a geninuly friendly manner
[20:22] <Thrash 6> be safe..we should be back
[20:23] * @The Intern nods appreciatively
[20:23] *** Reminder--you are here because the spear-wielding woman Sakura April shot with the Time Vortex-sensitive nanoprobes fled this way after the confrontation in Egypt. You have elected to arrive TWO DAYS before your quarry does.
[20:23] * @The Intern tosses future self her PSP
[20:23] * @Intern 3 tosses it back and holds up a lipstick tube
[20:24] <@The Intern> What is that?
[20:24] <@Intern 3> You'
[20:24] <@Intern 3> You'll fidn out one day. Now mask your presence.
[20:25] * @The Intern closes her eyes and activates the psychoactive weave in her clothes to chanege them into camoflague
[20:25] * @The Intern climbs into a tree
[20:25] <spiritflame> Forest rolls 1d100 [ 61 ]
[20:25] *** Nothing else is in the tree.
[20:25] * @Intern 3 pats Sakura April on the shoulder. "Let's Roll."
[20:26] * Thrash 6 heads out in the general direction
[20:26] *** You can see from the treetop that the small amount of smoke is coming from an isolate farmstead, and the larger amount of smoke is coming from a town that is next to a river, emptying into the sea.
[20:26] * @Intern 3 uses her Sonic Lipsick to scan the area for any high tech emissions
[20:27] * @Intern 3 also scans for E-particles
[20:27] *** What is the range of the Sonic Lipstick? And I assume it doesn't pick up echoes--since that would be a high tech emission, yes?
[20:27] * The Magistra also scans with her gunblade.
[20:27] * @Intern 3 scan scan for a bout a mile solidly and then less accurately beyond it since in this time period there's no other tech to boost range
[20:28] *** Magistra, is your gunblade magically scanning, or with tech?
[20:28] * The Magistra 's Gunblade is Soniced. So it's doing the same thing
[20:28] *** If you are using passive scans (i.e. listening) then you detect absolutely no high-tech emissions.
[20:28] *** DM interprets that as being tech and not magic.
[20:29] * @Intern 3 is playing it safe and so far is being passive
[20:29] *** Passive scans detect nothing.
[20:29] * @Intern 3 , hoever, is not a passive kinda girl and so switches it up
[20:29] <The Magistra> Might be too much wood.
[20:29] * @Intern 3 tries active scans
[20:29] *** Everything seems to be as it should be in 1666.
[20:29] * @Intern 3 snorts
[20:29] *** wait
[20:29] <@Intern 3> Well I *am* in the room.
[20:29] <@Intern 3> So yeah
[20:30] <Forest> ACTIVE scans result in a cry being heard from the direction of the settlement.
[20:30] <The Magistra> I meant the trees.
[20:30] * @Intern 3 shuts off the scan
[20:30] <Thrash 6> !
[20:30] <@Intern 3> Didja hear that?
[20:30] <Thrash 6> everyone! let's go!
[20:30] <The Magistra> Incidently my gunblade works on wooden doors. I just stab them.
[20:30] <Swedish Voice (distant)> Hey! What's going on!
[20:30] <psYchO_saKi> ♡ Prey ♡
[20:30] * psYchO_saKi activates thermoptic camoflague
[20:31] <Swedish Voice (distant)> Huh... maybe I imagined it?
[20:31] * @Intern 3 uses the Pschoactive weave in her clothes to make them into Traditional sWeidsh garb of the time
[20:31] <The Magistra> That vas Svedish, I means Swedish.
[20:31] * Masked Figure just puts a lookaway effect over everyone.
[20:32] * Thrash 6 runs past a tree...
[20:32] <Forest> !roll 1d100
[20:32] * @Intern 3 quielty follows along with Sakura April
[20:32] <spiritflame> Forest rolls 1d100 [ 35 ]
[20:32] * Masked Figure and Magistra follow the others.
[20:32] *** So you go downhill toward the noise and large amount of smoke.
[20:33] <Thrash 3> that sonic outcry seems to have originated in focuspoint of origin
[20:33] <Thrash 3> *in that
[20:33] <@Intern 3> Why would a Swede make a sonic outcry? Are they part wolf?
[20:33] * Forest eventually breaks and you see that there is a small town. It's built along the river, and there is a sign that says, "Welcome to Pitea."
[20:34] *** Well, that was a person shouting. I dunno what a sonic outcry is, but somebody noticed it for sure.
[20:34] * @Intern 3 meant a shout never mind her
[20:34] *** There are some cows in a pasture above the town, and there is a graveyard to the north. It looks like there are many bogs surrounding the settlement.
[20:34] <@Intern 3> Why would they notice a sonic scan
[20:35] *** The smoke is coming from several bonfires in part of the town. There are docks on the mouth of the river, and a ship is docked there.
[20:35] <Masked Figure> Keep your heads down and don't draw attention to youself. Unless they're magically sheilded they shouldn't notice us as long as we don't stand out.
[20:35] <Masked Figure> And I mean our actions, not how we look
[20:35] <@Intern 3> I'll tone it down
[20:36] *** There is also a small island in the river that has a large building built on top of it. You can see that there is a church near the town, painted bright red and with gorgeous stained glass. There's also a large building in the center of town that has a black angel statue atop it.
[20:36] * @Intern 3 tries to scan based on the discplacement between their location and the current position of the north magnetic pole of the planet to see where they are.
[20:37] <Thrash 3> I'll have you know that I am perfectly inconversably!
[20:38] <Forest> By looking at the angles of the sun and moon, as well as the gepgraphic layout, you can assume you are in Pitea, Sweden--a place none of you have visited before.
[20:38] *** ^^
[20:39] * @Intern 3 checks her Hitchhiker's guide
[20:39] <@Intern 3> This town is going to burn down.
[20:39] <Forest> The tiny bit of smoke behind you fades in the treeline. It looks like people are quite busy in the town. One of the main industries seems to be cutting peat. There are large piles of peat in the middle of town, next to houses, drying in the summer sun.
[20:39] *** ^^ 9_9
[20:40] <@Intern 3> Crapcrapcrap.
[20:40] * @Intern 3 sighs
[20:40] * Thrash 1 stands and starts to walk away from the group..heading back to where they arrived
[20:40] <@Intern 3> We can't stop it, but my Intern-sense tells me we're probably going to get stuck in the middle of this.
[20:40] <@Intern 3> Or cause it.
[20:40] <@Intern 3> So uhh, yeah. Good times.
[20:41] <@Intern 3> Be careful.
[20:41] <Thrash 1> does it matter
[20:41] <@Intern 3> ....
[20:41] <@Intern 3> - Of Course it matters_ -
[20:41] <Thrash 1> such events occur constantly on such a vast scale
[20:41] <@Intern 3> We have a duty and an obligation to the integrity of the Causal NExus.
[20:41] <@Intern 3> Yeah they DO
[20:41] <@Intern 3> But remember
[20:41] <@Intern 3> Something is Coming.
[20:41] <@Intern 3> And if this turn is going to burn down...
[20:41] <Thrash 1> yes and I have an oath to not interfere
[20:41] <Thrash 1> so if you all excuse me
[20:42] <@Intern 3> it probably means this is going to get nasty.
[20:42] <@Intern 3> ...Thrash.
[20:42] <@Intern 3> You're drafted on authority of the Celesital Intervenmtion Ageny
[20:42] <@Intern 3> Stay right here.
[20:42] <@Intern 3> Or fast forward to a Thrash with balls
[20:42] <Thrash 4> I'm feeling a little ill ><
[20:42] <@Intern 3> We're gonna need all hands on deck!
[20:43] * @Intern 3 is tryign to paly it cool but you can tell she's starting to get very worried
[20:43] <The Magistra> It'll be ok Father.
[20:44] <@Intern 3> Let's visit the town.
[20:44] <Thrash 4> ...wait..what?
[20:44] <Thrash 4> a good start then
[20:44] <Thrash 4> let's
[20:44] <The Magistra> Hmmm? I didn't say anything. You're hearing things
[20:45] * @Intern 3 snorts and keeps going with the others
[20:46] * Thrash 4 keeps moving towards the village
[20:46] * psYchO_saKi realises the bogs might interfere with her termoptic camoflaugge
[20:46] * psYchO_saKi goes behind a tree
[20:46] * psYchO_saKi is now known as Generic Swedish Woman
[20:46] * Generic Swedish Woman walks out from behind it and follows the party
[20:47] <Generic Swedish Woman> They don't need to freak out seeing someone appear out of nowhere, ja?
[20:47] *** You see a group of about 6 children carrying baskets going into the forest near where you all emerged from it, and kind of toward Intern's position. They are red by a girl with red hair.
[20:47] <@Intern 3> Yeah.
[20:47] *** Approaching the town, you pass through a cemetary. There are numerous gravestones here, and in good condition.
[20:48] * @Intern 3 looks to see if this redhead bears any resemblance to Eliza or the redheads at various stahes of development that were seen in the experiemwents
[20:48] *** These graves have been planted underneath the peat, in cleared land.
[20:48] *** Similarity to Experimental Subect: 99%
[20:48] <@Intern 3> .........
[20:49] <@Intern 3> Sakura April
[20:49] <Generic Swedish Woman> I know
[20:49] <Generic Swedish Woman> Keep an eye out for more
[20:49] *** The children wander off into the forest, singing together, and you can hear them calling out to look for "lingonberries for the feast" in Swedish.
[20:49] <Generic Swedish Woman> If your theory's right, they'll be infesting this place and hive-minding
[20:50] * Group of children led by the red-headed girl is away
[20:50] * Thrash 2 swaggers along the road, smiling to himself
[20:50] *** There is not a road.
[20:50] *** The road is on the other side of the river. You are instead approaching the cemetary.
[20:50] * Thrash 2 is still swaggering dammit!
[20:51] <@Intern 3> This could also explain why the others are travelling here.
[20:51] <Group of children led by the red-headed girl> The nearest building is a brightly-painted red church in imitation of Baroque style. There's a black statue of an angel at the top.
[20:51] <@Intern 3> Great Minds Think alike.
[20:51] <@Intern 3> The brain cells might be having a get together
[20:52] * @Intern 3 heads for the cemetary and pretends to be paying respect to the dead
[20:52] *** You can see, during examination of the tombstones, that it seems that all of the people here lived nice long healthy lives!
[20:52] <@Intern 3> If they responded to active scans, it means they can percieve higher technology signalling which would make sense if they're like Next-Gen Borg or Crybermen or something
[20:53] * Masked Figure pushes the back of Trash's head "Walk normally"
[20:53] <@Intern 3> These lifespans seem... a bit long to you given the time period?
[20:53] *** In fact, as Intern 3 looks at these graves, you can tell that VERY few people died young, and the infant mortality rate is very low.
[20:53] <Masked Figure> That's... Unusual.
[20:54] * Thrash 2 looks back at the masked figure
[20:54] <@Intern 3> Yeah this is statistically cray.
[20:54] <Thrash 2> listen
[20:54] <Thrash 2> I am acting perfectly normal here
[20:54] <Masked Figure> No. You listen. My magic only works if you don't stand out.
[20:54] * Thrash 2 takes a swig from a small flask
[20:54] *** Thrash, f your group didn't stop at the Cemetary, the next nearest building is the church, though there are a few small houses here and there too.
[20:54] <@Intern 3> It seriously implies a standard of living at odds with the time period
[20:54] <Masked Figure> Indeed.
[20:54] <@Intern 3> Either influenced by out of place knowledge or tech or both.
[20:55] <Thrash 5> possiblity...
[20:55] *** Two Swedish people, a man and a woman, walk out of the nearby houses, and walk toward the church.
[20:55] * Thrash 5 adjusts his monocle
[20:56] *** The two people don't notice you, cross themselves, and walk inside the church. You can tell that it has GORGEOUS stained glass windows.
[20:56] <Generic Swedish Woman> The developm,ent rate of those test subjects was VERY fast, remember?
[20:56] <@Intern 3> Yeah. Like a network effect. The more they had the more effective they were.
[20:56] <@Intern 3> Which means if these Redheads are part of a hive when the others get here they'll be boosted up even higher.
[20:57] <Thrash 5> ...this chruch is quite unusual
[20:57] <@Intern 3> Hmm?
[20:57] <@Intern 3> How so?
[20:57] <The Magistra> ...Looks like a Catholic Church
[20:57] <@Intern 3> I'm not up on the distribution of Terran Religions in History
[20:57] <Thrash 5> my dear girl
[20:57] <@Intern 3> should this not be here?
[20:57] *** The church is painted bright red, with an onion dome at the top, and a couple towers of timber outside. Unlike the other buildings, there isn't peat stacked on the church grounds.
[20:57] <Thrash 5> there is very little difference between luthuran and catholicdesign
[20:58] <@Intern 3> Why the lack of peat?
[20:58] * GuidingLight peeks out from behind Thrash 5...
[20:58] <@Intern 3> Look at the other places, they all have it.
[20:58] * Old Woman walks out of her house. She ambles slowly toward the church as well.
[20:58] <@Intern 3> Is it unclean?
[20:59] <Thrash 5> there is something...something wrong with it
[20:59] * Old Woman stops to rest, being unable to make the journey, and leans and then sits down on a treestump. There seem to be lots of treestumps around here, in fact, but there's somethig missing.
[20:59] <GuidingLight> (( nevermind ))
[20:59] * Mooing of cattle can be heard.
[21:00] <@Intern 3> What is it, Thrash, think.
[21:00] <@Intern 3> Contrary to legend I can't do it all here ><
[21:01] <Thrash 7> young lady I am TRYING
[21:01] * Thrash 7 glances over to the old lady
[21:01] <The Magistra> Hmmm.
[21:01] * Old Lady tries once to get up, but cannot.
[21:02] * Thrash 7 walks over and goes to help the old woman up
[21:02] <Thrash 7> old bones seldom make ones work easy
[21:02] * Old Lady is surprised "OH! My goodness, I didn't see you come up! My eyes aren't what they use to be!"
[21:03] <Old Lady> Thank you so much, kind sir... actually, I still don't recognize you even this close.
[21:03] * Old Lady squints really hard and looks at him.
[21:03] <Old Lady> It's really nice of you to help me, who ever you are.
[21:03] * Old Lady smiles. Her teeth are white and healthy.
[21:03] * Thrash 7 is an old man with a white beard and curled mosatche...
[21:03] * Thrash 7 pats the old woman on the hand
[21:04] <Old Lady> My goodness.. .I don't recognize you. Are you a traveller?
[21:04] <Thrash 7> indeed indeed
[21:04] <Old Lady> Welcom to Pitea!
[21:05] <Old Lady> You are so lucky! You have come at the time of our festival!
[21:05] <Old Lady> Once every generation!
[21:05] * Old Lady laughs. My goodness... it's been... 22 years since the last one?
[21:05] * @Intern 3 listens
[21:05] <Thrash 7> oh yes yes I have heard of it
[21:05] <@Intern 3> (22 years, huh.)
[21:05] <Thrash 7> it shall be a splendid sight to see..even in my old age
[21:06] <@Intern 3> (Roughly a generation?)
[21:06] <Old Lady> Or are you here to catch the ship in the harbor? Either way. Thank you so much for helping me up. You are a kind man. God-bless you. We try so hard to take care of travellers. If you go to the inn, please tell them I said you should be one of the ones that should stay for free!
[21:06] <Thrash 7> god bless you, my good woman
[21:07] <@Intern 3> (Ship in the Harbour huh... inn... HMM. Wonder when THAT leaves)
[21:07] * Old Lady smiles kindly at him with a mouth full of clean and abundant teeth, and then turns toward the church again. "Well I am on my way to ask. I'm heading for th church to pray! "
[21:07] <Old Lady> ^_^
[21:07] * Masked Figure adjusts their mask.
[21:07] * Old Lady ambles away, unless somebody asks her something.
[21:08] <Masked Figure> Her teeth are too clean.
[21:08] <@spiritflame> Current Location is: Pitea,Sweden, May 10, 1666
[21:08] * Old Lady rubs her ears and goes onto the church grounds. She crosses herself, and enters.
[21:08] <@Intern 3> Let's go into the church for now and then the inn
[21:09] * Old Lady is away
[21:09] <@Intern 3> Trhash we need to know what's so wrong with it
[21:09] * Thrash 8 turns to Intern
[21:10] <Thrash 8> I may be incorrect
[21:10] *** Note that those buildings are merely the CLOSEST. There are many others---town squares, a fenced in area on the other side oftown, what appears to be an inn, lots of things. There's even a well on the hill onthe far opposite side of town--a bit odd for a town with a river todrawfrom.
[21:10] <@Intern 3> ~_~
[21:10] *** Four people---two parents, two children-- come from the town square, carrying rolled up blankets, and take them toward one of the houses.
[21:11] <@Intern 3> Okay. I do know that later on the town around the church burns so...
[21:11] * @Intern 3 looks at these people
[21:11] <Thrash 8> ...if so something must have caused that fire
[21:11] <@Intern 3> But that's not actually until July
[21:11] *** The people look really happy, like they are on holiday, and the children skip along. They carry a jug with them into the house.
[21:12] <@Intern 3> this feels more like a May.
[21:12] <Thrash 8> that well...
[21:12] <Thrash 8> shall we examine it?
[21:12] * @Intern 3 licks her finger and holds it to the wind
[21:12] <@Intern 3> Welll.... sure :#
[21:12] <@Intern 3> :3
[21:12] *** MADE A MISTAKE!
[21:12] * @Intern 3 heads for it with Thrash
[21:12] <@spiritflame> Current Location is: Pitea, Sweden, *JULY* 1666
[21:13] <Thrash 8> hike up your skirts, ladies! let's take a look!
[21:13] <The Magistra> Never say that again.
[21:13] <The Magistra> I will slap you if you do
[21:13] *** You must walk through the entire town to get to the well. Do you walk around the outskirts, or go through it?
[21:13] * @Intern 3 follows along, blurting out that based on the taste of thwe wind she was wrong it's July
[21:13] * @Intern 3 wants to ealk through it so she can keep an eye out for these redheads
[21:13] *** The Well is literally on the other side of the town, and atop a hill. Do you walk THROUGH or AROUND the town?
[21:14] *** You begin walking through the town, and among the buildings, you see a crowd of farmers listening to a red-haired woman talk.
[21:14] *** Piles of peat are everywhere.
[21:14] <Thrash 8> hm?..now what's that
[21:14] * @Intern 3 again compares their looks to those of the
[21:15] *** A thickly built building is passed on your right with the sound of hammering coming from it.
[21:15] <@Intern 3> Thrash... peat... peat... isn't it flammable?
[21:15] <@Intern 3> And the Church doesn't have any around it.
[21:15] *** Woman talking has resemblance to test subjects of: 97%
[21:15] <@Intern 3> 2 + 2 = boom.
[21:15] *** You walk past another set of graves, this time in uncut peat, partway through town, with more ornate tombstones.
[21:16] <Old Lady> You walk across a little tributary of the river, and there is a bridge here. Who walks on this bridge?
[21:16] *** The graveyard, btw, says "honored dead." Assuming you keep walking instead of listening to what the woman is saying, does EVERYBODY cross this bridge?
[21:17] * @Intern 3 wants to hear it
[21:17] <Thrash 1> indeed..you are actually using your brains, whoever you are
[21:17] <@Intern 3> Oh Thrash, I am so going to pay you back one day ~
[21:18] <The Magistra> Pick a regneration and stick to it!
[21:18] <The Magistra> This is getting confusing
[21:19] * @Intern 3 tires ot listen to what the woman is saying
[21:19] * Thrash 4 throws up behind a tree
[21:20] <@Intern 3> (( Test ))
[21:22] * @Intern 3 has changed channel password
[21:22] * Red-Haired Woman asks them about their preparations for the big feast, and once they quietly claim that they are prepared, she begins speaking to them of this thing called a “potato,” and that once they hear about them in the future, they should STRONGLY CONSIDER planting and eating as many of them as possible, and that her “travels in the world suggest that they are a good investment.”
[21:22] <@Intern 3> ..........
[21:22] * @Intern 3 gives the other sideeye
[21:23] <Thrash 6> hm...
[21:23] <The Magistra> ...Hmmm
[21:23] *** You walk past a powerfully-built building with a bunch of pillories in front.
[21:23] *** you walk past a building that says "Pitea Inn and Tavern---ALL travelers welcome!"
[21:23] * @Intern 3 does a passive scan with her sonic lipstick concealed in her palm to see what is so speical about its construcion
[21:24] <Thrash 6> ...you know it's very strange
[21:24] <Thrash 6> ..the archetecture
[21:24] <Thrash 6> ...it's far larger and more well built then an area of this style
[21:24] *** Building = 100% stone. Very thick. Even the door. Thick windows of stained glass. Looks older than rest of town. Passive scan detects no unusual signatures.
[21:25] <Red-Haired Woman> Walking past the river, you see a GORGEOUS building built on a small island in the river that's completely stained glass windows that are wrought with incredible skill. It has its own little brige leading to it.
[21:26] <The Magistra> ...That does not look structerly sound
[21:27] <@Intern 3> You know I heard once that stained-glass windows were used ot tell tales to people who couldn't read.
[21:27] *** You don't go near the docks and some of the other buildings on your way up here, but you do past a building belching black smoke where you hear the sound of hammering. It says "Forge and Foundry" in Swedish. Further up the hill is a small house with a fenced in garden, and at the top of the hill in the distance is the well.
[21:27] <@Intern 3> Maybe we should look at the pictorial history on the windows?
[21:27] *** Nobody seems to notice you during your "look away" thing as you go through town, but there IS a dog who is sniffing the air.
[21:28] <Dog> RRRRrrrrrrr
[21:28] <Thrash 2> excellent idea!
[21:28] <Dog> <.<
[21:28] <Dog> >.>
[21:28] * Thrash 2 drinks from his flask
[21:28] <Dog> Grrrrrrr
[21:28] <@Intern 3> ...
[21:28] *** Intern 3 is carrying:

Assets: G¥666605788 .
[21:28] *** People come in from the edge of town carrying a really big table and heading to the town center.
[21:28] *** The people who see the table all cheer.
[21:29] * @Intern 3 takes some Jerky from her Emergency Emergency Emergency snack supply and toasses it so the dog will hopefully chase it and go away
[21:30] <Dog> The dog 100% ignores the Jerky, and sniffs the air, walking steadily closer to you.
[21:30] * Dog barks loudly, and is answered by another bark from across town.
[21:30] <@Intern 3> What kind of dog ignores ....
[21:30] <Dog> GrrrrrrrRRRRRRRrrrrrr
[21:30] * Dog is coming closer.
[21:30] * @Intern 3 sets her sonic to a VERY painful high frequency dog whistle sound
[21:31] <@Intern 3> Either it's going to run or we are guys.
[21:31] * @Intern 3 engages the sonic
[21:31] <Thrash 3> shoo shoo! Away canine of dubious form!
[21:31] * @Intern 3 aims to repel it.
[21:31] * Dog Yowls and barks three times---long-short-long. Windows and shutters are opened in some houses, but you cannot see what is inside looking out.
[21:32] <@Intern 3> It just barked in MORSE?
[21:32] * The town suddenly becomes quiet, and people look around.
[21:32] <@Intern 3> S O S?
[21:32] * @Intern 3 shuts off the sonic.
[21:32] <@Intern 3> Guys let's get out of sight
[21:32] <Thrash 8> agreed!
[21:32] <@Intern 3> I have a feeling those aren't normal dogs
[21:32] * A woman with red hair who is fully grown, and looks like the other women, walks up to the dog, and leans over to interact with it, she looks around suspiciously.
[21:33] *** The woman who was talking to the farmers is approaching this direction now, another dog leading her, and sniffing the air.
[21:34] * @Intern 3 pockets her tech in her transcendentally dimensional pockets and seals the flap.
[21:34] *** You are closest to a building that has a small fenced-in garden. The well is up at the top of this hill--which would shield you from view of the town if you went over it. Do you go to one of them, into another building, or stay where you are?
[21:34] <Masked Figure> Hmmm.
[21:35] *** The dogs are 40% of the way to you.
[21:35] <@Intern 3> WE need to get out f here quickly and discreetly. They can smell something about us. Maye our tech
[21:35] <A woman with red hair> The dogs are 55% of the way to you.
[21:35] * @Intern 3 heads for the well
[21:35] *** The gods are 62% of the way to you.
[21:35] <@Intern 3> C'mon people
[21:35] *** The dogs are 75% of the way to everybody but the Intern now...
[21:36] * GRABS the others and takes them that way too
[21:36] * Dogs sniff the ground zealously, and the red-headed women look around with narrow and suspicious eyes. The townspeople make themselves scarce from this area.
[21:36] * is now known as psYchO_saKi
[21:36] * psYchO_saKi Generic Swedish Woman
[21:36] * psYchO_saKi is now known as Generic Swedish Woman
[21:37] * Generic Swedish Woman hauls the others after Intern
[21:37] *** You reach the top of the hill with the well---and you notice two things!
[21:37] * @Intern 3 telepathically fills her younger self in
[21:37] *** The first thing is that the well has a rope inside it that's as big as your elbow. It's massive. The second thing you notice is that on the other side of this hill there is a HUGE barren expanse.
[21:38] *** You stand on the other side of the hill where you cannot be seen from town, and see a HUUUUUUGE space has been cleared in field nearby for no discernable reason. Lumber not processed, trees just down, rocks pulled out of the way, hills levelled off with shovels
[21:39] <@Intern 3> (it's almost like someone is making a landing pad)
[21:39] <@Intern 3> /m frowns
[21:39] *** No peat here. Just flat space. Flat everywhere all the way to the bogs. Land not used. Nothing. The dead trees just lie there, leaves brown.
[21:40] <Thrash 7> a barren waste
[21:40] <Dogs> The wind whistles in the trees, and the river runs on quietly. No people are in sight.
[21:40] *** ^^
[21:41] <@Intern 3> ♦ Past me, this is a big problem. Those guys we were afriaid fo starting a war with? It looks like they or their kith are here
[21:41] *** There's nothing here, all the way to the tree line which marks the beginning of the bogs and swamp. An owl hoots from the forest.
[21:41] <@Intern 3> ♦ They can smell probabl;y technology or something and their DOGS are either hive-minded or bioaugments
[21:42] <Thrash 7> young lady...do you happen to have a.....a data construct.....collection..unit..thing
[21:42] <@Intern 3> ...Use better eords.
[21:42] <@Intern 3> ^words
[21:42] <@Intern 3> Do you mean a Message cube?
[21:42] <Thrash 7> hush child.....I am speaking perfectly fine
[21:43] <@Intern 3> A Tricorder?
[21:43] <@Intern 3> A PADD?
[21:43] <Thrash 3> nevermind nevermind...I have one
[21:43] <@Intern 3> 9_9
[21:43] * Thrash 3 pulls out a device from his pocket
[21:43] <@Intern 3> I'm really worried, you guys.
[21:43] <@Intern 3> A long time ago [relative to me]I backed us off from a big fight with some extra-dimensional dued.
[21:44] <@Intern 3> ^dudes
[21:44] <Thrash 5> you were an idiot
[21:44] <@Intern 3> I have a feeling if we misstep here we're going to get right into it.
[21:44] <@Intern 3> ....I was an idiot? We're still ALIVE aren't we
[21:44] <Thrash 5> you should have dealt with them and be done with it
[21:45] <@Intern 3> Yeah well that's what we said about the Daleks and remember how that turned out.
[21:45] <Thrash 5> yes but because of that....now they're attempting to "improve" earth history
[21:45] <Thrash 5> with a great deal of empthtis on "improve"
[21:45] <Thrash 6> the issue at hand may be this....
[21:45] <@Intern 3> Yeah they may not be Cybermen but they sure share the ethos.
[21:45] <Thrash 8> ...this town..in the future...
[21:46] <@Intern 3> Go on
[21:46] <Thrash 8> will become a major center of tourism and a center of commercial attraction
[21:46] <Thrash 8> it will also become a breakthorugh development center for alterative fuel development
[21:47] <@Intern 3> But counterpoint
[21:47] <@Intern 3> could that be because of them?
[21:47] * Thrash 2 grins
[21:47] <Thrash 2> ..that's the danger, me lass
[21:47] <@Intern 3> Like, what the hell was their motrivation back in Africa?
[21:47] <Thrash 2> ....how do you know
[21:47] <Thrash 2> .....what IF the fire was the start of it
[21:47] <@Intern 3> They had a glitter gun.
[21:47] <Thrash 2> ...but then again what if it isn't
[21:47] <@Intern 3> Yeah exactly.
[21:48] <Thrash 2> ....you are locked in the most impossible of choices
[21:48] <@Intern 3> Not enough datapoints and us as the Sword of Damocles.
[21:48] * Masked Figure and Magistra are just watching, then glancing back at each other, then at them
[21:48] <@Intern 3> I KINDA really want to flat out ask them what they want. But that could go south super fast.
[21:49] <@Intern 3> And honestly we're not equipped to fight them off propery if it came down to it.
[21:49] * Thrash 2 (War) takes a swig from his flask..and just looks at Intern 3 with a long stare....
[21:49] <@Intern 3> ....what.
[21:49] <@Intern 3> I also have to balance the lives of the innocent humans here.
[21:49] <@Intern 3> Otherwise I'd run a test.
[21:50] <Thrash 2 (War)> ...isn't that the s[BLEEP]t
[21:50] <spiritflame> Children rolls 2d6 [ 2, 4 ]
[21:50] <> What kind of test
[21:50] <spiritflame> Children rolls 2d6 [ 4, 5 ]
[21:50] * is now known as psYchO_saKi
[21:50] <psYchO_saKi> (( BLARG ))
[21:50] * Children is away
[21:50] * @Intern 3 looks up at where the moon would be.
[21:51] <@Intern 3> I'd drop a sheep onto the minefield.
[21:51] * psYchO_saKi chuckels darkly
[21:51] <psYchO_saKi> That would end very badly~ I love it ♡
[21:52] <@Intern 3> Yeah well that's why I'm not doin' it.
[21:52] * @Intern 3 frowns
[21:52] <@Intern 3> This is a Class 5 civilization
[21:52] <@Intern 3> Those people shouldn't be here.
[21:53] <@Intern 3> But getting them out could make things much worse.
[21:54] * The Magistra 's eyes glow blue "Then maybe we shouldn't do this with logic"
[21:54] * You can hear something strike something else. It sounds like a spear. You hear it again, and then again 4 times in rapid succession.
[21:55] <@Intern 3> We need more information.
[21:55] <@Intern 3> The only way is to keep investigating.
[21:55] <@Intern 3> The future rests with us.
[21:55] <@Intern 3> Mags, can you inverstigate the well?
[21:55] <The Magistra> Sure.
[21:56] * The Magistra looks at the well. Following it's timeline backwards
[21:56] *** Spear meet spear again, and there's a mirthful shout. Somebody laughs over the next hill to the south (which doesn't lead back to town, in case you were wondering."
[21:57] * Thrash 1 sits on the hill, ignoring the rest of them
[21:57] *** You will have to explain that ability, Magistra...
[21:59] <Vision of the Well> [SPOILER] shows Magistra a red-haired woman getting something from the well, putting something inthe well, taking something, lowering something, taking something, lowering something many many times, doing it VERY carefully.
[22:00] <The Magistra> A red haired lady used the well. Alot
[22:00] <The Magistra> very carefully
[22:00] <@Intern 3> Maybe they were handling something volatile
[22:01] <@Intern 3> Can you use your gunblade to scan for peat down there
[22:03] <spiritflame> Vision of the Well rolls 2d6 [ 1, 1 ]
[22:03] * Thrash 6 goes to use his sonic ring..then remember his got rid of it in favor of his wedding ring
[22:03] <Vision of the Well> Nobody comes close to you or disturbs you at all.
[22:03] *** ^^
[22:04] *** you can still hear the faint sound of combat in a few dozen feet away over the next hill, but nobody comes this way or disturbs you.
[22:04] * @Intern 3 risks unpackign her sonic and her PADD and running a quick material scan to see what trace substances might be in the area / in the well. She uses VERY low powerr
[22:05] *** You detect traces of phosphorus.
[22:05] <@Intern 3> whatthef[BLEEP]k
[22:06] <@Intern 3> ...
[22:06] <@Intern 3> Phosphorous
[22:06] *** And phophoros pentoxide--the end-product of phosphorus combustion.
[22:06] <@Intern 3> This... could be bad
[22:07] <Thrash 6> ..what are they thinking...
[22:07] *** Are you still using that scanner?
[22:07] * @Intern 3 is scanning in short bursts to lesen the chance of detection
[22:08] *** mkay, well if you are still using it...
[22:08] <spiritflame> Vision of the Well rolls 1d100 [ 86 ]
[22:09] <Vision of the Well> There is a shout from over the hill, and the sound of an arrow flying through theair, then hitting something dense.
[22:09] *** You hear the clatter of a spear again, followed by a woman's voice.
[22:10] * @Intern 3 shuts off the scanner
[22:10] <Thrash 5> an arrow!?
[22:10] <@Intern 3> Sakura April
[22:10] <@spiritflame> ATTENTION: Masked Figure is already registered. Check your password or enter a new name.
[22:10] <@Intern 3> Load up a bullet with some kinfd of homer / tracker.
[22:10] <@Intern 3> Fire it with multiple ricochets to prevent its trajecotory being backtraced.
[22:10] *** Three arrows strike a target, though none of them land anywhere near you. They are flying in a different direction, parallel to the hill you are behind.
[22:11] <Masked Figure> Tis the sounds of battle
[22:11] <@Intern 3> Have the tracer activate above the center of town and then have it self destruct after one minute.
[22:11] <psYchO_saKi> A decoy?
[22:11] <@Intern 3> I hope.
[22:12] <@Intern 3> Keep it small, we don't want to hurt anyone, just confuse.
[22:12] *** a man says something from over the hill, and a woman answers him with advice. More arrows fly.
[22:12] <psYchO_saKi> But that's so boring
[22:12] *** A man counts down in Swedish and then you hear polearms clatter again.
[22:12] * psYchO_saKi does as instructed and sets it so it would seem to anyone tracking that the tracker was moving from hill area to the center of town
[22:13] * Masked Figure taps their mask and head to a vantage point to see the fighting
[22:13] <@Intern 3> Masky Can you use magic to detemrine the connections this well makes with the water table under the town?
[22:13] <Thrash 7> what in blazes
[22:14] *** Masked Figure, you can see that over the hill is an archery range---BE CAREFUL ABOUT STANDING---arrows hit what people don't know about--there is a man shooting arrows at some wooden targets of varied shapes, though some shapes look more familiar than others. There are two men in armor sparring against a red-haired woman--all three use spears, and she is clearly far better than they are.
[22:15] <@Intern 3> This is like that Serhlock Holmes a study in scarlet thing. A league of Red heads conspiring.
[22:15] * @Intern 3 runs a hand tthrough her pinkish-red hair
[22:15] *** Sakura, what kind of tracker is that thing emitting? Radar, Microwaves, something likethat? An active emission source?
[22:15] <@Intern 3> LOL like I should talk.
[22:16] * Masked Figure returns tosses a ball of light and floats to and sinks down into the well.
[22:16] * psYchO_saKi is having it actively emitting radar, but only for a breif time as it's already on its way down
[22:16] *** Spoiler this well has a false bottom.
[22:17] <Masked Figure> Well now.
[22:17] <Magical Scan> [SPOILER] there are numerous containers below the water level of this well.
[22:18] *** After the bullet is fired, you can hear people in town shouting the word "BLACK! TURNING BLACK!" over and over, and people can be heard running around. "I TOLD YOU I saw it," says the voice that shouted before.
[22:18] *** Now you can hear the sounds of at least three dogs barking.
[22:18] *** The soldiers on the other side of the hill all run for the town, taking their weapons with them. You are alone now.
[22:19] <psYchO_saKi> yeah they are definitely tech-sensitive
[22:20] *** You can now hear shouts about "they are turning back to normal now," but a familiar-sounding woman's voice says "find it."
[22:20] <spiritflame> Magical Scan rolls 2d6 [ 3, 1 ]
[22:20] <@Intern 3> If I were them and I was unable to pinpoint the source I'd assume it was a decoy and rush to fortify high value targets.
[22:20] <@Intern 3> We should concel ourselves where we can get the best view of town and see where they go.
[22:20] <@Intern 3> Their response patterns'll give away a lot
[22:21] * @Intern 3 looks for a place they can hide with a good vantage
[22:21] *** You can hear commotion from town, but finally women's voices, in unison and VERY LOUDLY tell everybody to "GO INTO YOUR HOMES AND GET READY."
[22:22] *** All of the activity in the town stops... which is kind of funny, because now that you hear it dead silent, you realize how quiet it was before---there were sounds of merriment and singing, but no sounds of work. At all. The town is silent. Everybody has gone into a building.
[22:22] <Masked Figure> I can put an illusion over us.
[22:23] <@Intern 3> Do it.
[22:23] *** Intern, are you looking where they go?
[22:23] <@Intern 3> But they may have magic scanners too. Be prepared.
[22:23] * Masked Figure plays a song and puts an illusion over everyone
[22:23] * @Intern 3 is if she can
[22:23] * Thrash 8 prepares herself
[22:23] <@Intern 3> Remember. This is 1666. Everyone here is likely armed.
[22:24] <The Magistra> Normal humans with swords or spears shouldn't be too much of an issue
[22:24] <@Intern 3> Nominally with muskets but this place has already been meddled with for god knows how long.
[22:25] <@Intern 3> Plus the Scarlet Society probably has 31st century tech or better.
[22:25] <Masked Figure> They were training the locals in the use of spears and bows.
[22:25] <Masked Figure> The fighting twas an archery range and some sparring
[22:25] <@Intern 3> Maybe the muskets would set off their explosives.
[22:25] <Thrash 8> still something to be careful of
[22:25] <@Intern 3> I dunno
[22:25] *** All of the red-heads go in groups. Two people go into the house with the little fence right near the well. Both have red hair. Other red-heads go into the nto the building with the pillories out front, the building you heard hammering from, and across the bridge into the building with all the stained glass windows in the middle of the river.
[22:26] <@Intern 3> Those seem to eb the key locales. Memorize 'em
[22:27] *** nobody comes out of their homes. Those who have VERY good hearing can hear the snorting of horses.
[22:27] <spiritflame> Group of children rolls 2d6 [ 1, 6 ]
[22:28] *** are on their way back to town and pass under Intern (OG)'s tree. They are talking about the festival, but the young girl with red hair looks really worried, and calls for them to be quiet. She asks them if they hear anything at all, they say no, and she says "exactly."
[22:28] * Group of children has moved to: [ Intern's Tree ]
[22:28] <spiritflame> Group of children rolls 2d6 [ 1, 5 ]
[22:28] <@The Intern> /mr stays stock still and slows her breathing
[22:29] * Group of children [Intern's Tree] stand a dozen or so yards away from Intern's tree. They area all quiet, and listen to what the red-head says, even though a couple look older.
[22:29] *** The red-head orders the others to be very quiet, and they do, but look very scared.
[22:30] <spiritflame> Group of children rolls 2d6 [ 4, 6 ]
[22:30] <@The Intern> (If future-me is right, what if it's not just the DOGS and red=heads that are a gestalt?)
[22:30] *** The red-headed girl starts whistling really really loudly, and EVERYBODY starts hearing dogs baying in town.
[22:30] *** One of the dogs runs out of a door on the west side of town, and runs into the forest, and right on and on until he stops amid the children.
[22:30] * @The Intern doesn't like the sound of that.
[22:31] * Group of children [Intern's Tree] all look incredibly relieved, and all pet the dog happily. It nuzzles them.
[22:31] <Group of children> [Intern's Tree] ^_^
[22:32] *** The red-haired girl asks them if they have plenty of Lingonberries, and she says that's good. She asks them if they would like to go for a walk to the neighboring far, and ask the angry old man there to trade them some bread for some lingonberries for the feast.
[22:32] * @The Intern narrows her eyes suspiciously at this scene but does not move.
[22:32] * Group of children [Intern's Tree] agree, and they all walk in the direction of the small bit of smoke that wasn't investigated, apparently this is the "neighboring farm."
[22:32] <spiritflame> Dog rolls 2d6 [ 2, 2 ]
[22:32] <Thrash 5> we could capture one and take it apart
[22:33] * Dog doesn't pass under Intern's tree, and the group is gone.
[22:33] * @The Intern DOESN'T MOVE WHERE THE HELL DID THRASH 5 COME FROM
[22:33] *** Group of children has quit IRC ( Come on. We should get bread for the festival! Yeah. We'll all help! ^_^)
[22:33] *** Absolutely nothing happens now.
[22:33] * @The Intern waits for the dogs oto be gone
[22:33] *** There are no people. No dogs. No sounds from the town. Nothing.
[22:34] * @The Intern relays wehat happned to future-her telepathically
[22:34] *** The dog leaves with the children, after sniffing the air once or twice, then runs up and nuzzles the youngest as they depart.
[22:34] <@Intern 3> ♦ Those Dogs remind me of Raptors from Jurassic Park
[22:34] *** Horses snort from a barn in the town. Nobody goes outside.
[22:35] <@Intern 3> ♦ This town seems VERY disciplined
[22:35] <@Intern 3> ♦ too disciplined
[22:36] * @Intern 3 considers
[22:36] <@Intern 3> Guys we are in a Spiderweb.
[22:36] *** Intern can see people peeping from windows and surveying the area, much like she herself is doing.
[22:37] <@Intern 3> A spiderweb filled with Dog-Spiders and REd-headed mines
[22:37] *** Time passes.
[22:38] * A single figure emerges from the building with the pillories in front of it in the middle of town. It is draped in cloth and concealed. It goes over to the bonfires, and does nothing but tend to the fires and make sure they don't get out of control.
[22:39] * @Intern 3 notes that.
[22:39] * A single figure does this for about 10 minutes... then pulls a bow out from under its robes.
[22:39] * A single figure starts walking north. You cannot see this person's face.
[22:39] <Thrash 3> unusual
[22:40] * A single figure travels north, and travels north, and then goes over the hill to where you saw some of the cows on your way in.
[22:40] * A single figure has pased out of sight.
[22:40] * A single figure is away
[22:41] *** Those with exceptional reflexes can see an arrow flying in a very high arch, and then another instantly follow it on a different arcing trajectory.
[22:41] *** OG Intern, are you where you can see over the trees and onto the northern pastures of the town?
[22:41] <psYchO_saKi> What are they doing?
[22:42] * psYchO_saKi is recording everything she sees obviously
[22:42] * @The Intern is in the tree near where the party started out so you need to tell her lol
[22:43] <@Intern 3> Low-tech correspondence? Trying to ignte the peat with an impact spark?
[22:44] <@Intern 3> ....Low Tech...
[22:44] <@Intern 3> We're literally going to have to solve this without using any technology.
[22:44] <@Intern 3> They're just too good at sniffing it out.
[22:44] <@Intern 3> We'll have to go all steampunk.
[22:44] *** Intern, roll 1d10, if you roll 8 or higher, you get lucky and can see it.
[22:45] <spiritflame> @The Intern rolls 1d10 [ 9 ]
[22:46] * @The Intern sees-- ?
[22:46] <What Intern Sees> [SPOILER] You recognize the style of movements you saw in the veiled woman in Egypt in 1324, who said she was a mighty warrior. The woman stretches her hand forth, and puts an arrow into her bow as she crests the hill where there are three cattle, who are mooing and chewing cud.
[22:46] <Masked Figure> Then we use magic.
[22:47] * @The Intern lets future her see this over their mental link
[22:47] <What Intern Sees> [SPOILER] She shoots an arrow into a high arc, immediately draws and shoots another one into a lower arc, and then as the first two arrows fall, strings another arrow and shoots a cow in the eye. The other two arrows she already fired, land in the eyes of the other two cows in this field, simultaneously killing them instantly.
[22:47] <@Intern 3> ...That lady I saw in Egypt...
[22:48] <@Intern 3> This is the same style...
[22:48] <@Intern 3> She's killing cows. I'm glad Cressie isn't here.
[22:48] <Thrash 6> ...
[22:48] * Person in the robes turns and walks back into town, leaving the dead cattle behind her. The other people from the other vantage point can now see this person again, as she goes back up and puts a really big spit on each bonfire.
[22:49] <Person in the robes> Everybody roll 1d10
[22:49] <spiritflame> Thrash 6 rolls 1d10 [ 7 ]
[22:50] <spiritflame> @Intern 3 rolls 1d10 [ 8 ]

[22:52] <Intern 3 sees> [SPOILER] that there is armor---unusual, bluish-purple armor, beneath this person's robe.
[22:52] *** the shrouded woman continues to monitor the fires. A horse snorts again from somewhere.
[22:52] <@Intern 3> That person has some weird AF armor on.
[22:53] <@Intern 3> And by "Weird AF" I mean "probably temporally discongruent"
[22:53] <@Intern 3> As in it doesn't belong in this time zone.
[22:53] * Intern 3 sees walks right up to one of the walls of a building---the big one, with the stained glass windows, and then bends over and looks at that wall for like 2 minutes.
[22:54] <@Intern 3> Either she's treally into architecture or she's seeing something aren't either on a HUD or Psycontronic interface.
[22:54] <@Intern 3> ^we aren't
[22:54] * There are no other people that come out of the houses, still.
[22:55] <@Intern 3> So... whjat do we know.
[22:56] <The Magistra> The red ladies are doing somethign with the well.
[22:56] <@Intern 3> They have preat everywhere. Phosphorous in the wells. They can smell tech - the dogs better than the gingers--
[22:56] <Masked Figure> That has a false bottom.
[22:56] <@Intern 3> They have those key areas...
[22:56] <Masked Figure> We should see what's down there.
[22:56] *** The ship that was docked in the harbor now has a single person on the deck, who looks to be a very nervous man, who's trying to figure out what on earth has happened.
[22:56] <@Intern 3> they've been building up this little village, which is totally under the red's control
[22:57] * Man on the ship holds a musket carefully, looking around with obvious paranoia.
[22:57] <spiritflame> Man on the ship rolls 1d20 [ 5 ]
[22:57] <spiritflame> ??? on the ship rolls 1d20 [ 16 ]
[22:57] * Man on the ship is now f[BLEEP]ked.
[22:58] * Man on the ship goes back into his cabin, locking it behind him. It doesn't help.
[22:58] <Man on the ship > !roll 1d20
[22:58] <@Intern 3> Can you scry at all?
[22:58] <spiritflame> Man on the ship rolls 1d20 [ 5 ]
[22:58] <spiritflame> ??? rolls 1d20 [ 15 ]
[22:58] <@Intern 3> I'm wary of traps.
[22:58] <@Intern 3> I hate to say it but I think we need heavy magic users all up in here.
[22:59] * Masked Figure just points at the boat
[22:59] <psYchO_saKi> What's happening on that ship?
[22:59] * Masked Figure taps their mask, and zooms in.
[22:59] <psYchO_saKi> Also, f[BLEEP]k magic users.
[23:00] *** Whatever is happening, it's now INSIDE the ship. But roll 1d20, and see if you can spot what's going on.
[23:00] <spiritflame> ??? rolls 1d20 [ 10 ]
[23:00] *** You must beat a 10.

[23:00] <spiritflame> @Intern 3 rolls 1d20 [ 7 ]
[23:01] * sees that there are rats. They are climbing up the mooring lines onto the ship. Quite a few of them. Come to think of it, you haven't seen a rat or any evidence of it since you got here.
[23:01] <Thrash 5> ........
[23:01] <Thrash 5> rats......
[23:01] <Thrash 5> quite a few by the look of it
[23:02] <Thrash 5> .......they're heading onto to the ship!
[23:02] <@Intern 3> Doing what?
[23:02] <@Intern 3> ..onto...?
[23:02] <Thrash 5> yes
[23:02] *** Thrash 5 can see that they are climbing up the hull, and into the cabin where the man went. No sound comes from the ship, and the man does NOT come back out again.
[23:02] <@Intern 3> That's the opposite of the human saying isn't it?
[23:02] <Thrash 5> ...they moved into a cabin
[23:02] <Thrash 5> ....I'm sure they're being controlled
[23:02] <@Intern 3> ....Are all the animals here under some kind of compulsion?
[23:02] <@Intern 3> .....
[23:03] *** The village is silent.
[23:03] * @Intern 3 frowns
[23:04] <@Intern 3> Sakura April how fast can you run in stealth mode?
[23:04] <psYchO_saKi> _Fast_ why
[23:04] <@Intern 3> Cressie forgive me <_<
[23:04] <@Intern 3> Go into the forest. Find a rat or something.
[23:05] <@Intern 3> Kidnap it. Run away. Vivisect and scan it, collect all data then come back here. Be evasive.
[23:05] * psYchO_saKi chuckles darkly
[23:06] <psYchO_saKi> You know if they're in a hive mind that the minute I cut one of them open I give away my location.
[23:06] <@Intern 3> That's why you Run away FIRST.
[23:06] <@Intern 3> Then ditch it and take a cicuitious way back.
[23:06] * psYchO_saKi engages her camo and enters silent mode and goes hunting for RATBITS
[23:07] *** There are NO RATS in the woods. AT ALL. In fact there are no mice either. Or any other pest animals. Odd.
[23:07] * psYchO_saKi starts hunting Dogs
[23:08] *** There are no dogs in the woods either, at least not on this side, unless you go for the one you know went with those kids.
[23:08] <spiritflame> Forest rolls 2d6 [ 3, 4 ]
[23:08] *** an owl hoots.
[23:08] * psYchO_saKi snipes it with a silenced round
[23:09] <spiritflame> Forest rolls 1d20 [ 11 ]
[23:09] *** Beat an 11.
[23:09] <spiritflame> psYchO_saKi rolls 1d20 [ 2 ]
[23:09] <psYchO_saKi> :/
[23:09] *** The owl's head cranks toward you in less than a second, staring right at you, and performs a bizarre arial maneuver to evade the shot. Its eyes continue to watch you, stealth or not.
[23:10] * Owl begins broadcasting.
[23:10] * psYchO_saKi shrugs and uses a larger, more effiective round
[23:11] <Thrash 7> what now..
[23:11] <psYchO_saKi> ♡ If you can see me~ ♡
[23:11] <Owl> [SPOILER] Extradimensional vibration detected. Extradimensional vibration detected!
[23:11] <Thrash 7> I can feel problems in my bones
[23:11] *** the woman in the robe RUNS into a building!
[23:11] <psYchO_saKi> ♡ Then let's play~ ♡
[23:12] * psYchO_saKi takes out a small EMP and tosses it near the owl and SNIPES THAT to activate it
[23:12] * Owl zooms in on Sakura April
[23:12] <psYchO_saKi> ♡ let's see how mechanical you are ♡
[23:12] <spiritflame> Owl rolls 2d6 [ 3, 4 ]
[23:12] * Owl moves more jerkily now.
[23:12] * psYchO_saKi adjuses her appearnce to just transmit a DEATH'S HEAD on all optical frequencies
[23:12] *** The other party members can now hear dogs angrily growling from multiple points in town.
[23:13] * psYchO_saKi LEAPS up to GRAB the wol and snap its neck
[23:13] *** The owl clanks as a part of it breaks.
[23:14] * psYchO_saKi does a rapid viivsection
[23:14] * Owl twitches, broken but still transmitting.
[23:14] * psYchO_saKi stuff anemp in its mouth and sets it off
[23:14] <psYchO_saKi> That's enough of that, f[BLEEP]ker.
[23:15] *** This is not an owl. It's a machine. It has sensors that were easily able to pick you up, and if there are others, they can find your friends. It has telescopic sight, sensors that cover large amounts of the EM spectrum, and other mechanisms you have never seen.
[23:15] <Owl> [SPOILER] MECHANICAL LIFE FORM DETECTED MECHANICAL LIFE FORM DETECTED... MECHANICAL LIFE FORM DETECTED!
[23:16] * psYchO_saKi crushes it under her heel
[23:16] *** Time Lords----a signal has been sent that is going to change the future.
[23:17] *** A homing beacon is going through space and time to this location. Something is coming. And it won't be alone.
[23:17] <Thrash 1> ????
[23:17] <Thrash 1> ..what have you idiots done
[23:17] * psYchO_saKi heads back in ciruicirtous fashion and reports
[23:17] <psYchO_saKi> F[BLEEP]k off, Geezer!
[23:17] <psYchO_saKi> At least we were f[BLEEP]king doing Something
[23:17] *** You now detect that 1666 feels VERY different than it should. A signal is being sent through time, and it's telling people to come here. Now.
[23:18] <@Intern 3> ♦ F[BLEEP]k it. Contact Gallifrey.
[23:18] <@Intern 3> ♦ This has gone beyond simple meddling
[23:18] *** You are being jammed.
[23:18] *** No help is coming.
[23:18] * Magistra is panicing
[23:18] <???> ..well then...

[23:19] <The Magistra> Father?
[23:19] *** A number of power-armored people swarm out of several buildings.
[23:19] * The Magistra looks at Thrash 9.
[23:19] *** Thrash 9 is your average everyday Thrash 9
[23:19] * The Magistra summons her gunblade.

[23:21] <Thrash 9> where did I put that
[23:21] *** more and more power-armored figures swarm out, and they are carrying weapons you have never seen, and big groups of them run toward the part of the woods where Sakura April USED to be.
[23:21] <The Magistra> Also Saki is here. And this masked person.
[23:21] *** Question---do you want to run?
[23:21] <Masked Figure> ...You were correct the first time.
[23:21] <Thrash 9> AH found it
[23:21] <The Miracle> You could flee back to the Hotel... just saying...
[23:21] * Thrash 9 puts something on his finger
[23:21] <psYchO_saKi> Let's move for now.
[23:21] *** Seriously... think about it... you they are heading the wrong way....
[23:22] *** They outnumber you... a lot...
[23:22] <@Intern 3> Let's go back to the HOTEL.
[23:22] <Thrash 9> Intern..did you ever study Quantium Molecular Disnomination?
[23:22] <@Intern 3> We're outclassed.

[23:41] * The Miracle splatters one with a rail gun round.
[23:43] * The Miracle pulls out a gold-dust Nebelwerfer and bombards the area where they appeared with gold dust, and while any cybermen double over trying to breathe, they are set upon in melee by power-armored opponents wielding hammers tuned to the sympathetic vibration frequency of a cyberman's components.
[23:43] * The Miracle appears behind a group of Cybermen and blasts them with C[BLEEP]ktail Polly.
[23:44] * The Miracle tosses a white phosporus grenade into a group of cybermen, producing phosphorus pentoxide that reacts with metal---that it doesn't melt.

[23:46] *** The cybermen are slaughtered in a massacre as one-sided as that which killed all of Brandle's people. They are crushed, and the animals of the area seem suspiciously able to detect cyber-mites. Not a single one of them escapes. It's very clear that even if these Cybermen were NOT wounded, and were more numerous, they would have almost certainly lost anyway. These fighters have skill that is utterly inhuman.
[23:48] * Woman in a nano-weave stealth-suit stands atop the wreckage of a disassembled Cyberman, raising her weapon in triumph. The people run out of the buildings cheering.
[23:50] *** The feed suddenly vanishes.
[00:14] *** Thrash 9 has joined #suburbansenshi3
[00:14] <+luna_P> Evening, Thrash 9
[00:14] <+luna_P> Welcome to Suburban Senshi: 'What do you mean that's part of her head?'
*** Happy Birthday, Ten'ou Haruka!!
[00:14] * Thrash 9 has set up a make-shift technical lab..and is going over some notes
[00:14] <Thrash 9> hm...
[00:15] * Thrash 9 looks the parts he has so far
[00:15] <Thrash 9> ...a start
[00:15] * Thrash 9 rolls up his sleeves
[00:16] <Thrash 9> now..let me see if I can remember...
[00:16] * Thrash 9 pulls over a piece of machinery..and starts to take it apart
[00:18] * Thrash 9 pulls out a piece of circutry and frowns to it
[00:18] <Thrash 9> ..do I really need this or not
[00:18] * Thrash 9 puts the item aside
[00:19] * Thrash 9 removes his glasses and cleans them
[00:19] * Thrash 9 pauses and walks over to the board and starts to write on it
[00:20] <Thrash 9> now.....if this...works...
[00:20] * Thrash 9 keeps sketching something out
[00:22] * Thrash 9 pauses for a moment..his eyes glowing blue slightly
[00:23] * Thrash 9 writes much faster then before
[00:29] * Thrash 9 is away
[21:20] *** Tokyo, downtown area
[21:20] * Thirza drifts on over. (Hmm, seems the explosion came from over here....)
[21:21] * David O`Cain is right next to Thirza
[21:21] *** it's deathly quiet.................and the moment you step in the area you can see why.....the entire place is covered in shimmering ice like crystals....large spikes of it
[21:23] <Thirza> ...and that's not suspicious at all.
[21:24] <David O`Cain> How the hell did this happen?
[21:24] <Thirza> Time to start checking about.
[21:25] * Thirza pulls out an analysis device, and gets to checking out the composition of these crystals.
[21:25] <David O`Cain> Yeah.
[21:26] *** the crystals don't come from this dimension...and they're radiating some kind of energy against one another
[21:26] * David O`Cain puts on a pair of safety glasses (in appearance), and looks at the crystals as he scans them
[21:26] <Thirza> Extradimensional....
[21:28] <David O`Cain> Really? Which dimension?
[21:28] *** your scans, David, suggest that they were created out of some of the local material...the ground and such
[21:28] <Thirza> That's what I'm looking for now. The energy they're giving off.... let's see what we have to work with here.....
[21:30] <David O`Cain> Huh. That's interesting. They seem to be made from the ground itself.
[21:30] *** the energy is bleeding in from a quantum level....it's not a familer energy...but the wavelength suggests it's highly volitile
[21:31] <Thirza> ....highly volatile stuff here. Someone trying to set off a citywide fireball or something?
[21:33] <David O`Cain> Maybe? Who would pull this stunt, though?
[21:35] * Thirza uses her device to try and find the origin point of these crystals. Find the origin, maybe they'll find whomever is behind this.
[21:35] * David O`Cain looks over the crystals some more as Thirza does her work
[21:37] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Oh good. Someone else came to investigate too.
[21:37] *** Neo Sailor Uranus has joined #suburbansenshi3
[21:37] <+luna_P> Evening, Neo Sailor Uranus
[21:37] <+luna_P> Welcome to Suburban Senshi: Something about Haruka, beer, and a crapload of ants.
*** Happy Birthday, Ten'ou Haruka!!
[21:38] * Neo Sailor Uranus makes a mental note to send Haruka a card.
[21:38] <David O`Cain> Hey, Andy.
[21:38] <Thirza> Hey there. Any luck on your end?
[21:39] *** as you move around....you suddenly come across a large group of crystal statues...
[21:39] <Neo Sailor Uranus> I just got here.
[21:39] <Neo Sailor Uranus> I was doing guard duty on the.. Tree..
[21:41] * Thirza checks these statues over, both looking them over and checking their composition.
[21:41] <David O`Cain> We go from spikes to statues. Someone's up to something.
[21:41] *** the statues look like people..frozen in mid pose...
[21:41] *** ...several of the statues look familer
[21:43] * David O`Cain look at the statues for a good moment or two
[21:44] *** you can see statues of Neo Sailor Quinox..Venti...Salacia...Neo Sailor Mars...
[21:45] <Thirza> ....OK, that might be an issue. Are these just statues, or did they get Taken for Granite?
[21:46] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Mars! Q!
[21:46] * Neo Sailor Uranus creates a blade and tries to chip the crystal with it.
[21:46] <David O`Cain> I'm getting a really bad feeling about this...
[21:47] *** you manage to crack mars a tiny bit, Uranus.....yeah....this isn't crystal covering them...they've been wholy transformed into crystal
[21:47] <Thirza> .....OK, something needs to die.
[21:48] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Damn it.
[21:48] * David O`Cain is now known as Capt. David O`Cain
[21:49] <Capt. David O`Cain> Alright, who did this to them?
[21:50] *** something..moves in the shadows of the crystaline forest
[21:52] * Thirza flares up her senses to try and flush out whomever or whatever is nearby.
[21:53] * Capt. David O`Cain tries to keep a sharp lookout while having a combination of UV and FLIR running in his helmet's visor
[21:53] *** something slithers..or rather...flies...thorugh the air..around the crystals.....
[21:54] *** ..the thing..looks like a rather large..very large eel like creature..with a shimmering body..it itself seems to be like crystal...
[21:54] <Neo Sailor Uranus> I think we found our culprit.
[21:56] <Capt. David O`Cain> Where did it go?
[21:57] *** the..thing..seems to notice you..as it moves towards you a bit....then stops
[21:59] <Capt. David O`Cain> (Where are you?)
[22:00] * Capt. David O`Cain is still searching for the being
[22:01] *** the thing...rears up..it's eyes turning red
[22:01] *** you guys ready for a battle?
[22:02] <Capt. David O`Cain> (( As ready as I'll ever be. ))
[22:05] <@spiritflame> The current battle order is: Uranus, Monster, David, Thirza
[22:05] * Neo Sailor Uranus creates a second blade and takes a battle stance
[22:05] <Thirza> Well, we gotta save those Senshi. Let's turn this eel into sushi!
[22:08] * Capt. David O`Cain readies a ball of energy in his hand
[22:08] ☼ Scouter indicates Monster has POWERED UP!
[22:09] ☼ Scouter indicates Capt. David O`Cain has POWERED UP!
[22:10] ☼ Scouter indicates Thirza has POWERED UP!
[22:10] ☼ Scouter indicates Neo Sailor Uranus has POWERED UP!
[22:11] █████ Neo Sailor Uranus dashes in and slashs at the monster with his swords
[22:14] █████ Monster has been SLAMMED BACK!!
[22:14] * Monster screechs in a strange unearhtly sound as it's attacked
[22:16] * Monster shimmers....and a third eye opens on it's head
[22:16] █████ Monster fires a red beam at everyone
[22:16] █████ Capt. David O`Cain has DODGED the attack!
[22:16] █████ Thirza has been SLAMMED BACK!!
[22:17] * Capt. David O`Cain leaps to the side as he uses his armor's dash function
[22:18] █████ Neo Sailor Uranus has PARRIED the attack! [ Opponent: /def ]
[22:18] *** Thirza...you find your tails have apperently transformed into stiff crystal
[22:18] █████ Monster has DODGED the attack!
[22:18] * Monster moves out of the way of the attack against it
[22:19] <Thirza> ...so that's how it got everyone. We need to either stab out or pluck that eye.
[22:19] █████ Capt. David O`Cain fires the ball of energy in his hand at the monster's forehead
[22:21] █████ Monster has been ROCKED!!
[22:21] * Monster screams as it's third eye is hit!
[22:23] █████ Thirza goes to move ever-so-swiftly and use her crystallized tails to stab that monster in its third eye!
[22:23] █████ Monster has been SLAMMED BACK!!
[22:23] * Monster loses it's third eye!
[22:26] █████ Neo Sailor Uranus slashes at the beat again.
[22:26] <Neo Sailor Uranus> *beast
[22:29] █████ Monster has been HIT!!
[22:29] * Monster is slashed up against the stomac

[22:35] █████ Capt. David O`Cain fires one more ball of energy at the monster
[22:36] █████ Monster has been ROCKED!!
[22:36] Monster has BEEN DEFEATED!!!
[22:36] * Monster SCREAMS and falls to the ground with a thud
[22:37] * Thirza takes this moment to try and find the eye. Perhaps it can be used to reverse this situation? Also she would like her tails to be returned to their pristine and fluffy state, thank you very much. :P
[22:38] * Monster 's body suddenly stiffens..and rises up...
[22:38] <Capt. David O`Cain> What the...?
[22:40] <Neo Sailor Uranus> It better not be a second form
[22:41] * Monster 's mouth widens..and peels back like a banana....revealing a humanoid woman..who opens her red eyes
[22:41] * Monster is now known as Monster 2
[22:41] <Capt. David O`Cain> You had to say it.
[22:41] ☼ Scouter indicates Monster 2 has POWERED UP!
[22:42] * Monster 2 narrows her eyes at them
[22:42] * Capt. David O`Cain takes a fighting stance in preparation for attack
[22:43] *** Some order as before!
[22:46] <Capt. David O`Cain> (( Pick up where we stopped? Meaning Thirza goes first and then back to the top of the order? ))
[22:47] <Monster 2> (( yup ))
[22:47] <Thirza> (( Very well. ))
[22:47] █████ Thirza fires off a round of white-hot flames into the monster's eyes!
[22:49] █████ Monster 2 has DODGED the attack!
[22:49] * Monster 2 is now far quicker...and gets out of the way!
[22:50] █████ Neo Sailor Uranus throws his swords like boomerangs so they hit the monster-lady in the back
[22:51] █████ Monster 2 has DODGED the attack!
[22:51] * Monster 2 again dodges the attack..moving in a blur
[22:53] * Monster 2 's eyes glow
[22:53] █████ Monster 2 screams..giving off a super sonic yell at the group
[22:54] █████ Neo Sailor Uranus has PARRIED the attack! [ Opponent: /def ]
[22:54] * Neo Sailor Uranus creates a sheild.
[22:54] █████ Capt. David O`Cain has been EVISCERATED!!
[22:54] * Capt. David O`Cain tries to cover his ears to protect his hearing
[22:54] █████ Thirza has been STAGGERED!!
[22:55] <Thirza> (OW MY SENSITIVE EARS)
[22:56] █████ Monster 2 has been SLAMMED BACK!!
[22:56] * Monster 2 is hit by the rebound sonic blast and goes flying back..but stops itself in midair
[22:57] █████ Capt. David O`Cain activates the Mercury Upgrade, and fires a spiked ball of ice at the monster
[22:59] █████ Monster 2 has been SAVAGED!!
[23:00] * Monster 2 is hit by the spike ball and screams as it explodes against her
[23:00] █████ Thirza attempts to capitialize with a blast of Star magic in the thing's eyes!

[23:13] * Monster 2 looks up..and is CRUSHED BY THE ROCK
[23:13] *** Monster 2 has left #suburbansenshi3
[23:13] <Capt. David O`Cain> Well, that did the trick.
[23:14] *** the crystal around you suddenly vanishes....and those turned to statues are restored...
[23:14] * Neo Sailor Quinox , Venti and Salacia nearly fall over O_O
[23:14] <Neo Sailor Mars> gah..why the hell are we bleeding?
[23:15] <Capt. David O`Cain> Yo.
[23:16] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Uh. That's my fault. Sorry.
[23:16] * Thirza takes this opportunity to cast a mass Heal upon the newly unfrozen Senshi.
[23:17] <Sailor Venti> where did that thing go???
[23:17] <Capt. David O`Cain> We killed it.
[23:19] * Neo Sailor Quinox is being kept upright by Salacia
[23:24] <Capt. David O`Cain> If you guys are alright, I'm gonna head on home. Catch y'all later.
[23:25] <Thirza> Take care, David.
[23:25] *** Capt. David O`Cain [JRPMoonSolider@MKArmyRanger.mil] has left #suburbansenshi3 (Well, one more incident take care of.)
[23:31] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Lets get you guys someplace safe to rest
[23:31] <Neo Sailor Quinox> thank you...
[23:31] <Thirza> We got you covered.
[23:36] * Neo Sailor Uranus leads them to someplace safe
[23:36] *** Neo Sailor Quinox has left #suburbansenshi3
[23:36] *** Sailor Venti has left #suburbansenshi3
[23:36] *** Neo Sailor Mars has left #suburbansenshi3
[23:40] *** Thirza [(9TailsOfMystery@Coalition.nw)] has left #suburbansenshi3 (*She'll search around for a bit to try and find the monster's eyeball. Call it her being her, but she's mainly covering her bases*)
[01:40] *** meanwhile..somewhere in Yokohama
[01:40] *** a figure stands in a dark space....bottles and odd wires and tubes hang from the ceiling...
[01:41] *** the figure holds out a hand...as a circle glows around them....then in each of the bottles........an object glows in turn....
[01:41] *** ....the objects....appear to be Sailor Crystals......
[01:42] <?> ...the time of the Sailor Senshi has come to an end....
[01:42] <?> ....the time..of the Sailor Warriors....has come...
[01:42] *** find out more soon!
[01:42] *** Shin Sailor Q EX
[01:42] *** COMING SOON
[19:24] *** Meanwhile, inside the Chernobyl Exclusion Zone...
[19:31] * Reisen Udongein Inaba leads a small expedition into a different part of the area surrounding Yanov Station.
[19:32] * Reisen Udongein Inaba has led the group southwards down one of several roads leading away from the station, running parallel along the railroad tracks towards some hills.
[19:35] * Megan O`Cain hangs around the Langisters for the time being
[19:37] * Reisen Udongein Inaba sees further in the distance what appears to be the remains of a fortified military landing field surrounded by rusting chainlink fencing. There's a crashed helicopter at the edge of the airfield that DOESN'T look like it's been there since the 1980s!!
[19:38] * Chibi-Antil is going over a map of the local area of the Zone, as well as Pripyat itself.
[19:39] <Chibi-Antil> Okay...Miss Megan, is everyone else ready for the presentation?
[19:41] <Megan O`Cain> I'm ready.
[19:47] <Chibi-Antil> Okay everyone! In the next few days we're going to attempt to get into Pripyat through that underground tunnel system that courier informed us about.
[19:48] * Megan O`Cain nods as she listens
[19:51] <Chibi-Antil> It's called the Pripyat-1 Underpass, and it was apparently a Soviet-era tunnel network that was large enough for tanks and other heavy vehicles to pass through. It also contained a railroad depot, hidden rail lines, and some huge warehouses.
[19:52] <Chibi-Antil> Parts of it have collapsed or been cut off due to lack of maintenance or because of Anomalies, but there's one section that connects with the Jupiter Station near here that will lead directly into Pripyat. There's just one problem though.
[19:53] * Chibi-Alex joins in.
[19:53] <Chibi-Alex> The sections we'd be travelling through have apparently been flooded with poison gas courtesy of Monolith!
[19:54] <Megan O`Cain> So we use gas masks.
[19:55] <Megan O`Cain> I don't know what you guys will use, but my helmet has a built-in function to keep me safe from gaseous problems.
[19:58] <Chibi-Alex> Regular gas masks won't be enough.
[19:59] <Chibi-Alex> According to the information provided, the gas is a kind of nerve gas, so it'll be as dangerous with skin contact as it would be to breathe.
[20:00] <Megan O`Cain> So, my armor isn't gonna be effective? I find that hard to believe considering the tech involved.
[20:00] <Chibi-Alex> So we'll need to use sealed suits with closed-circuit breathing systems. We can get those here in the Zone, but it'll take a few days to find enough for everyone.
[20:03] <Chibi-Alex> I've also instructed Gwen and Fiona to buy up as many of those wide-spectrum poison antidote packages as they can find. Those might be useful too if we can't find enough environment suits.
[20:04] * Megan O`Cain has her helmet off as she sits in her armor
[20:05] <Chibi-AnTil> Everyone comes with us should also carry as much ammunition and maintenance supplies as they can. We're probably going to be entering into some combat and we have no idea of what we'll be finding inside Pripyat.
[20:06] <Chibi-Alex> What we DO know is that Monolith controls Pripyat and the region surrounding the Chernobyl NPP. BUT we're arranging a surprise for them!
[20:07] <Megan O`Cain> Do tell, Alex.
[20:09] <Chibi-Alex> The survivors of the Lunar Assault Corps have reorganized and are preparing to open the way for us.
[20:10] <Megan O`Cain> About time. They were really screwy for a long time.
[20:10] * Chibi-Alex lays a new map out on the table, showing a large facility of warehouses, admin buildings, and what looks like some kind of massive garage or hangar about a mile or so southeast of Yanov Station.
[20:12] <Chibi-Alex> This is the Jupiter Plant. Catriona and Sylvester scouted the area yesterday, so it's fairly recent. The roads leading up to it are in good shape, but the area has a lot of Monolith and Zombies wandering around. If we try to force our way through them and clear out the Jupiter Plant, we'd be fighting for days.
[20:12] <Chibi-Alex> However, the Moon-Rabbits have found an alternative.
[20:12] * Megan O`Cain has Dean make copies of the maps for her
[20:17] * Chibi-Alex shows a map of what looks like several abandoned villages near a large forest that's close to the Brain Scorcher area of effect. It's several miles to the south, but there are routes highlighted on the map leading up towards the Yanov region.
[20:18] <Chibi-Alex> This area is kind of far to the south. It's been called the Dead City because it's largely abandoned and it's on the outskirts of the city of Limansk, which most Stalkers consider haunted.
[20:19] <Chibi-Alex> To the east of Limansk is the Red Forest, which gets its name from way back during the original Chernobyl disaster because the leaves of all the trees there turned bright red after the meltdown and stayed that way.
[20:20] <Megan O`Cain> Noted.
[20:20] <Chibi-Alex> It's also extremely dangerous. Lots of mutant and Anomaly activity inside the Forest. However, Moon-Rabbit scouts have confirmed a safe route that leads north through the Forest and connects HERE into Yanov.
[20:21] <Megan O`Cain> Interesting.
[20:34] <Chibi-Alex> There's a tunnel that goes underground at one point that passes safely beneath a large Anomaly field, but it's sealed at the far end by a reinforced gate.
[20:35] <Chibi-Alex> But if we can get that open, the Lunar Assault Corps will start moving their people through and they'll assault the Jupiter Plant, clearing it out and enabling us to go inside.
[20:46] <Megan O`Cain> Hmm. What material is the gate made of?
[20:46] <Chibi-AnTil> Once we do that, we'll be able to access the Pripyat-1 Underpass and maybe start an invasion of Pripyat.
[20:47] <Chibi-Alex> The gate in question is still intact, so it's probably made of a few inches of armor-grade steel.
[20:47] <Chibi-Alex> But it's apparently secured by a physical lock.
[20:48] * Reisen Udongein Inaba and her group approach the site in question. The helicopter ahead is a modern Hind variant, but it looks like it caught fire a while ago.
[20:48] <Megan O`Cain> I see. If it's simple enough, we could just pop the lock by using a key, or just cut it off.
[20:49] *** One of the Moon-Rabbits with Reisen steps forward across the field, ignoring the road leading up to the landing area, and steps on a land mine!!
[20:50] *** The Moon-Rabbit in question is blown twenty feet into the air! She lands a few seconds later, hits the ground hard, and detonates ANOTHER land mine on impact!!
[20:50] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> >__<;;;
[20:50] * Reisen Udongein Inaba is splattered with a mixture of mud, blood, and Moon-Rabbit bits.
[20:50] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> S[BLEEP]T!
[20:51] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> Nobody move any further! There's a minefield here!
[20:51] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> And...
[20:51] * Reisen Udongein Inaba pulls out a scanner and starts aiming it ahead of her.
[20:51] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> ...holy crap!
[20:52] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> Reisen to Yanov Station! Reisen to Yanov Station!
[20:54] <Megan O`Cain> ?
[20:55] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> We're at the gate location, but there's an active minefield here. Also, we found a crashed helicopter.
[20:56] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> There's an active FEDERATION transponder still inside of it. And a few null Van Saar biometrics.
[20:59] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> I think it's the transport Petty Officer Hiiragi used!
[21:03] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> Requesting assistance.
[21:06] *** Pause here for now since it's getting late and I have to work in the morning. We will continue tomorrow. Same Zone time. Same Zone station!
[19:14] *** Meanwhile, back inside the Zone.
[19:15] * Reisen Udongein Inaba is trying to figure out a way to get at that crashed helicopter AND the gate.
[19:33] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> Hmmm.
[19:34] * Reisen Udongein Inaba points to the remains of the road that leads towards the landing site.
[19:34] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> Everyone! Find as many rocks as you can and start trying to sweep the approach up that road!
[19:38] *** The Moon-Rabbits start trying to gather up whatever heavy objects they can find to toss out onto the field.
[19:43] * GR sees the Lunar Rabbits trying to clear the minefield, and decides to give them a hand.
[19:45] * GR calculates out where the mines ought to be, and then fires several knives at the locations. The knives are crazy-sharp, and fly fast enough that you might wonder what the hell that was.
[19:45] * Reisen Udongein Inaba joins in tossing out some rocks. Every so often one of them hits the ground and DETONATES one of them.
[19:46] * Reisen Udongein Inaba and the others see a chain reaction of detonations!!
[19:46] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> O___o
[19:50] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> Is that all of them?!
[19:51] <GR>“ Ought to be. Might want to do a few more tosses, just in case.”
[19:53] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> GAH!
[19:53] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> WHO ARE YOU?!
[19:54] <GR>“ Name's GR. Been helping the Langisters and Megan on and off depending on the occasion.”
[19:54] * GR [img=https://i.pinimg.com/736x/e9/b8/dc/e9b8dcc5006dab65efcd6818aebcf355.jpg]looks like this[/img]. Try not to be too scared, OK?
[19:55] * GR looks like this. Keep your wits about you.
[19:56] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> Okay, if you're here to help us, do you think you can assist with getting that gate open.
[19:56] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> ^?
[19:56] <GR>“ Should be able to.”
[19:56] * GR studies the gate in question.
[19:57] * Reisen Udongein Inaba and the Moon-Rabbits are cautiously making their way up the ruined road. It's in terrible shape, covered over in thick soil in places where Nature has begun the slow process of reclaiming everything. The retaining walls are in good condition though, and up ahead you see some parked vehicles. Mainly a couple of UAZ jeeps and an old BTR-70 APC.
[19:58] *** The gates consist of a large pair of steel double-doors, each about ten feet wide. They look heavy, but nothing special.
[19:59] *** The helicopter is now nearby too, along with a crater near it where someone triggered a land mine. You can just make out the remains of what looks like someone's leg within it.
[20:00] <GR>“ (Hmm.... )”
[20:02] * GR carefully heads over to check the doors. Depending on how they're set up, they should be easily opened.
[20:02] *** The Moon-Rabbits quickly fan out and start searching the area.
[20:02] * Reisen Udongein Inaba approaches the helicopter.
[20:03] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> Yeah, there's definitely Van Saar biometrics in here.
[20:03] * Reisen Udongein Inaba looks inside. The c[BLEEP]kpit was crushed on impact, killing both pilots. No other bodies are inside and all of the weapons and emergency gear was taken.
[20:03] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> Hey, the flight recorder was left behind though.
[20:07] * GR checks the gate. (Should be easy enough to open up.) They give an experimental push, to figure how heavy the doors are... also if they might be locked from the inside.
[20:11] *** The doors aren't locked from the other side, but they ARE secured by heavy physical clamps on your side. Given some time, effort, and acetaline torches, you can cut through them and open the way to the Red Forest.
[20:11] * Reisen Udongein Inaba starts trying to remove the flight recorder.
[20:11] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> Looks like this helicopter crashed after its engines caught fire. There's no sign of any anti-aircraft weapons damage though.
[20:13] <GR>“ (Time? Torches? Ain't nobody got time for that!!)”
[20:19] * GR holds out their left hand, and part of their outfit literally crawls over and forms a wicked-looking double-headed axe. With a click, the axe-blade ignites with a hellish flame. They study the gate, find the clamps........ and in one swing make to slice through all of them like they're rancid butter!
[20:24] *** The gates fall open with a huge crash!!
[20:24] *** The Moon-Rabbits all cheer, and a few minutes later their cheers are answered as some more Moon-Rabbits come through the gateway!
[20:25] * GR dismisses their weapon, and it dissolves back into their combat gear.
[20:26] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> All right! The path's open! We can begin moving here into the part of the Zone and begin massing for the assault on the Jupiter Station!
[20:26] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> Also, can you give me a hand with this?
[20:27] * Reisen Udongein Inaba is trying to remove a big clunky orange box out of the helicopter.
[20:28] <GR>“ And what is that?”
[20:30] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> The flight recorder. There's information on it, but it seems to have been encrypted on a Federation frequency that I'm not familiar with.
[20:31] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> I don't suppose you can unscramble it?
[20:33] <GR>“ I can take a crack at it.”
[20:33] * GR heads over to help Reisen.
[20:35] * Reisen Udongein Inaba hands the flight recorder to GR and hooks it up to a portable battery.
[20:36] * GR takes the flight recorder, and begins looking it over. (Let's see what this bad boy has to offer.)
[20:39] *** The encryption is one of the newer codes.
[20:41] <GR>“ Hm... looks like newer coding. Let's see here....”
[20:44] <~> This is Petty Officer Kagami Hiiragi. This whole mission's been fuxored before we even landed inside the Zone.
[20:45] <~> Tsukasa's seriously injured, but we've managed to stabilize her enough for transport. Both pilots are dead, so that just leaves a total of eight people including myself.
[20:46] <~> A guide named Garry came to help us after we crashed. He says he can lead us to Pripyat if we're that crazy, but it'll cost us.
[20:47] <~> Price isn't an option for me. All that matters is getting the Kits out of this hell and back home where they belong. Hopefully we'll run into them along the way or they'll come to us.
[20:48] <~> Until then, we'll hold out inside Pripyat for as long as we're able to. Hopefully little AnTil will have a way to call for an extraction when we meet.
[20:48] <~> We're moving out now. This is Petty Officer Kagami signing out.
[20:49] <GR>“ ....well, this complicates matters.”
[20:49] * GR relays this information to Reisen.
[20:51] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> How so?
[20:54] <GR>“ Long story short, your pals from this aircraft seem to have been taken to Pripyat by a "Garry". ”
[20:54] <GR>“ We can only hope they didn't get waylayed by the more recent problem that arose.”
[21:00] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> Crap. AnTil will need to know about all this.
[21:00] * Reisen Udongein Inaba oversees as groups of Moon-Rabbits start to dig in a little and establish a command post near the gate.
[21:01] <Reisen Udongein Inaba> We'll hold this gateway open and begin preparing for the next stage of the operation. Please head back to Yanov Station to update the Kits on our progress.
[21:02] <GR>“ On it.”
[21:04] * GR double-checks to confirm that the information is secured, and begins heading back.
[21:09] * Reisen Udongein Inaba will hold the way open for the rest of the Lunar Assault Corps!!!
[21:09] *** ANd pause here for now!
