[01:49] <D. Kakaku> we'll have to try to get someone, but for now, it's time to rest a bit, we did a lot today.
[01:50] <Georgia Banno> yes
[01:52] * D. Kakaku preps his bunk bed and begins to start sleeping in it.
[02:01] <D. Kakaku> thinking of tomorrow?
[02:07] * Georgia Banno is already fast asleep...
[02:09] <D. Kakaku> yup, same here
[02:09] * D. Kakaku begins to snore.

[19:43] <Matsumi Kaze> look, I'm just saying..it's just a pain in the ass...that's all
[19:43] <Matsumi Kaze> getting dragged out after just getting home to do....lord knows what at Las Vegas
[19:44] <Matsumi Kaze> least Eitak got dragged along with me
[19:47] <Matsumi Kaze> that almost made it bareble
[19:50] * Matsumi Kaze glances over and sees Mira Eseme running after Victoria
[19:50] <Matsumi Kaze> HEY HEY NO RUNNING
[19:50] <Matsumi Kaze> you'll slip and hurt yourselves!
[19:50] <Matsumi Kaze> geez...
[19:52] * Matsumi Kaze puts some shampoo in her hands and starts to apply it to her hair
[19:53] * Matsumi Kaze blinks and then glances down
[19:54] <Matsumi Kaze> .......
[19:54] <Matsumi Kaze> Anne if you don't remove your hands, I swear to god....
[19:54] <Anne Bonny> I'm just trying to help you, master ^^ you can't clean everything while you're doing your hair!
[19:54] <Matsumi Kaze> ..hands..off
[19:56] * Anne Bonny presses against Matsumi's back
[19:57] <Anne Bonny> are you sure I can't ju-
[19:57] * Matsumi Kaze sprays Anne in the face the water hose...sending her sputtering back
[19:57] <Matsumi Kaze> no. bad.
[19:59] * Matsumi Kaze mutters, going back to working on her hair
[20:08] * Freya Felinus relaxes in the water, just enjoying the warmth
[20:22] * Garath has tried to grab one of the twins to stop them running..but ends up falling backwards into the bath O_O
[20:28] * Matsumi Kaze has slipped into the water, sitting next to Freya and just relaxing
[21:14] * Matsumi Kaze and the others exit the locker room and start to head out towards a resteraunt with the others

---

[19:56] * The trip is a smooth one...fast and sleek...it's Solar Sails, mixed with it's Aether runners, lets it coast through space like an ocean
[19:57] * The ship eventually reaches Uranus, passing through the blue clouds..if a bit rough due to the unusual gravity fields....the ship lands softly down on the ground after a time
[19:57] <Matsuo Shin> we're here...
[19:58] * Megan O`cain looks out of one of the windows
[20:00] * you can see a large wide plain in the distance....but it's hard to make out fully
[20:00] <Megan O`cain> Is it safe to exit?
[20:02] * Matsuo Shin is looking an old fashioned thermostate like device
[20:02] <Matsuo Shin> ..should be..the air is breathable
[20:03] <Megan O`Cain> Awesome. I'm ready to go ashore whenver you are, Matsuo.
[20:03] <Megan O`Cain> ^whenever
[20:03] * Matsuo Shin opens the door and lowers the stairs
[20:04] * Matsuo Shin carefully walks down the steps
[20:05] * Magni heads out alongside Matsuo. What all might he see?
[20:07] *** the ship has landed in the middle of a vast plain, there are few hills here and there..as well as the odd rocks...the grass is VERY short..almost close to the ground..it's rather tundra like but without the cold. The sky above you is covered by thick clouds..but it's still a brilliant blue
[20:08] <Megan O`Cain> Wow. It looks pretty.
[20:09] <Matsuo Shin> yeah...
[20:09] * Matsuo Shin walks over and picks up a rock...
[20:09] <Matsuo Shin> ....funny to think most people probably think this is still all a gas planet
[20:10] <Magni> Then again, how many people on Earth have actually had the chance to visit these outer planets?
[20:10] <Megan O`Cain> A fair point.
[20:11] <Matsuo Shin> true enough
[20:11] * Matsuo Shin wanders the parameter
[20:12] <Matsuo Shin> we won't have any real confirmation of a restored biosphere until we find some life
[20:13] <Matsuo Shin> ..I came to this plain once when I was....about five
[20:14] <Matsuo Shin> was visiting my aunt...the queen of Uranus
[20:14] * Megan O`Cain looks around the area, "Ah. Was the visit enjoyable?"
[20:14] <Matsuo Shin> this area.....was a large mining complex
[20:14] <Matsuo Shin> ...it's gone now
[20:14] * Matsuo Shin looks up
[20:15] <Matsuo Shin> the city was up there
[20:15] * Matsuo Shin points up to...a giant floating island of rock just hovering above your head
[20:18] <Matsuo Shin> most of the upper class lived on the floating islands
[20:18] <Matsuo Shin> ..the others worked down below here
[20:20] * something moves near Magni's leg
[20:20] <Magni> ??
[20:20] * Magni immediately looks down.
[20:21] * A small lizard like thing..about the size of a small dog..has scurried next to his leg
[20:21] <Magni> ...well, I believe we have a confirmation about the biosphere's regeneration.
[20:21] <Megan O`Cain> Hmm. It was quite a dicotomy. Seemed like once in a while a work strike would happen, and cause a stoppage.
[20:24] <Matsuo Shin> oh!
[20:24] <Matsuo Shin> A Drakon...
[20:24] <Matsuo Shin> heh these things would crawl all over the place
[20:25] * The Drakon makes a strange beltching noise...and creates a puff of fire from it's mouth....
[20:26] <Matsuo Shin> they store methane in them..feed off it.....and then blow it out their mouth
[20:26] <Magni> I see how it got its name.
[20:26] * Matsuo Shin winces at the awful smell coming from the creature
[20:26] <Magni> These the average size for 'em, or do they grow larger?
[20:26] <Matsuo Shin> probably where the Earth dragons got their names actually...
[20:26] <Matsuo Shin> no no this is as big as they get
[20:27] * Drakon scurries off quickly
[20:27] <Matsuo Shin> mind you...there were animals on this planet which were bigge-
[20:27] * Matsuo Shin is GRABBED by the leg by a large reptile creature that swoops down and pulls him into the air
[20:28] <Magni> .....oh my.
[20:28] * Magni takes a look at what grabbed Matsuo.
[20:29] <Megan O`Cain> Aw not now! (gives chase after the creature)
[20:29] * the creature is every thing you would imagine for a winged dragon...and it's currently flying away with Matsuo...his right leg stuck in it's mouth
[20:30] * Magni takes a moment to don his armor, then gives chase.
[20:31] * Matsuo Shin is swearing his head off in Quinoxian
[20:31] * you can suddenly see the creature turn..and you see Matsuo plummit towards the ground!
[20:32] * Magni is running calculations in his head.... takes a moment to aim.... and speeds up to catch Matsuo!
[20:33] * Matsuo Shin is caught!
[20:33] <Matsuo Shin> GRAGH %$# $#
[20:33] * Matsuo Shin is caught...minus one right leg
[20:34] <Magni> .........this is not gonna be easy to explain.
[20:34] <Matsuo Shin> get..it back...GET IT BACK
[20:35] <Magni> All right. Megan, take hold of him --- I'll be right back.
[20:35] * Matsuo Shin is bleeding from his leg wound
[20:36] * Megan O`Cain quickly clamps her hands around the leg wound, and uses her healing to stop the bleeding as much as possible
[20:36] * Magni hands Matsuo over to Megan, then takes off after the large monster at incredible speeds!
[20:37] * the creature is flying at fast speed towards an outcropping of rocks
[20:38] <Megan O`Cain> I'll ask later, Matsuo. Right now, let's get you stabilized.
[20:39] * Magni practically turns into a bolt of lightning as he chases the creature! Time to rip it open!
[20:39] * the creature turns...and tries to roar at Magni
[20:41] * Magni goes to fly down its throat and grab Matsuo's leg! As for his exit, why not make a return trip up the throat! (Also eating Lightning should not be done at home, kids)
[20:43] * the creature gurgles and falls to the ground, dead..the leg removed.....
[20:43] * the creature is so descended by smaller Drakons..who start to feed on the corpse
[20:43] <Magni> .... a bit messier than I was intending, but mission accomplished.
[20:44] * Magni flies on back to Matsuo and Megan. "One leg, hopefully not too digested. Think we can reattach this?"
[20:45] <Matsuo Shin> jus..just put it...close to..where it should be
[20:47] * Magni quickly puts the leg where it ought to be, doing his best to align it as properly as possible.
[20:47] * Matsuo Shin focuses his telekinisis to the area..and holds it in place...
[20:47] <Matsuo Shin> ...l..let's go back
[20:47] * Megan O`Cain aides Magni as she uses her healing ability to reattach the leg
[20:47] <Matsuo Shin> ..this was a mistake
[20:48] <Matsuo Shin> I..wasn't prepared
[20:48] <Matsuo Shin> ..help me to the ship
[20:48] <Magni> Well, what exactly does prepare you for a draconic-creature to suddenly swoop out of the blue and attack you?
[20:49] * Magni works with Megan to help Matsuo back to the ship.
[20:49] * Megan O`Cain carefully helps Matsuo back to the ship, "Neither of us were, Matsuo. But we did learn."
[20:49] <Matsuo Shin> ..we'll..be back later
[20:51] * Matsuo Shin hobbles over to the controls...and sends them back towards Earth
[20:51] *** Matsuo Shin [Shin@history.um.u-tokyo.ac.jp] has left #suburbansenshi3
[20:51] *** Megan O`Cain has left #suburbansenshi3

[13:40] * Luna Tsukino sits outside a cafe, a communicator in her hand
[13:40] <Luna Tsukino> Usagi? Usagi come in! this is Luna...
[13:41] <Luna Tsukino> I don't understand....these communicators shouldn't have a limit!
[13:41] * Luna Tsukino glances up at Freya, who is stuffing her mouth with a pastery
[13:44] <Luna Tsukino> well you pay attention!
[13:44] <Freya De Turner> I can't help if i'm hungry!
[13:44] <Freya De Turner> I didn't get any breakfest!
[13:45] <Luna Tsukino> yes well this is more important
[13:45] * Luna Tsukino glances around
[13:45] <Luna Tsukino> ..you know there's something odd about this
[13:45] <Freya De Turner> ..now that you mention it....it does...feel different
[13:46] <Freya De Turner> ...it seems more......more
[13:46] <Luna Tsukino> dynamic?
[13:46] <Freya De Turner> alien
[13:47] <Freya De Turner> it's like....something's off
[13:49] <Luna Tsukno> well let's go to the school...maybe we can find something there
[13:51] * Freya De Turner eats one last pastery before following after Luna

[17:06] <D. Kakaku> WHAT?!
[17:18] <Georgia Banno> what???
[17:21] <D. Kakaku> it can't be! He's escaped.
[17:22] <D. Kakaku> send a call out for people who can do a seal and it's either laughing or no response.
[17:27] <Georgia Banno> well you aren't very convincing
[17:28] <D. Kakaku> I get that far too much
[17:36] <D. Kakaku> well, now what are we going to do?
[17:40] <Georgia Banno> is there any other way
[17:44] <D. Kakaku> other than going back and warning everyone to look out for a bitter old man that steals souls, I'm not sure.
[17:51] <Elder> most of the people here are sorry they won't be accompanying you on your trip back, but I wish to be able to see at least one of the teams the original elder had talked about.
[17:56] <D. Kakaku> well, if the door hasn't changed yet, we could use it to get back.
[18:03] * D. Kakaku finishes packing up.
[18:04] <D. Kakaku> let's get going, it'll be a bit, I hope.
[18:08] <spiritflame> D. Kakaku rolls 1d100 [ 8 ]
[18:08] <D. Kakaku> mmmmhmmm.
[18:09] *** For the door!
[18:09] *** D. Kakaku flips a coin into the air and catches it, heads side up
[18:09] *** they'll all be there soon!
[18:34] * Georgia Banno follows
[20:34] * D. Kakaku is at the door he and Georgia first came ti the city in.
[21:02] <D. Kakaku> ok, it's time.
[21:03] * D. Kakaku pulls on the handle and opens the door, stepping on through, followed by the elder.
[21:29] * Georgia Banno follows after DK
[21:32] *** the door closes after the last person steps in.

[23:57] * Sylph enters with a Kylix
[23:58] <Sylph> ...a..are you...a..alright?
[23:59] <Qeinoss> YES I'M FINE I'M NOT UPSET AT ALL!!!!
[23:59] * Qeinoss SLAMS her hand at the pool of water
[00:00] <Sylph> EEP
[00:01] * Sylph scrambles and runs out of the room
[00:01] * Qeinoss sadly pouts against the pool
[00:02] <Hestia> Qeinoss....are you alright?
[00:02] * Qeinoss glances back to Hestia and sighs
[00:03] <Qeinoss> oh...hello, Hestia
[00:03] <Hestia> what troubles you, child?
[00:03] * Hestia sits next to Qeinoss
[00:03] <Qeinoss> *pouts* I'm a failure
[00:06] <Qeinoss> Zagerius is busy with his work....my avatar hasn't even noticed me....my worship is still too small and I'm just not doing anythiiiiing

[00:07] <Hestia> it is just the nature of such things.....you shall find fulfillment I am sure soon

[00:08] <Hestia> besides..i am certain the heroes shall find their own challenges soon

[17:05] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa Eliza McIntash *** Happy Obon!!
[17:05] * Eliza McIntash has moved to: [ Lit Bunker Exercise Area ]
[17:06] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] puts the headband on, looking at it expectantly as she does so.
[17:06] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] stretches....
[17:06] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] stretches again.
[17:06] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] goes over to the starting line...
[17:06] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] is recording it all
[17:08] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] flexes, a little unsteady since she hasn't worked out in many many days, due to her breakdown.
[17:09] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] With Magic... or without Magic?
[17:10] * Brianna McIntash has moved to: [ Lit Bunker Excercise Area ]
[17:10] * Brianna McIntash [Lit Bunker Excercise Area] peeks in
[17:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Do it as you mnormally would
[17:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] ^normally
[17:11] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Okay, okay.
[17:11] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] OH look!
[17:11] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Look who's here?
[17:11] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] turns. Hiiii Brianna!
[17:11] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Hey Brianna?
[17:11] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] What's that behind you?
[17:11] <Brianna McIntash> [Lit Bunker Excercise Area] yes, mama?
[17:11] * Brianna McIntash [Lit Bunker Excercise Area] looks behind her!
[17:12] *** On the wall, in glowing, fancy letters, are the words, "Once upon a time, there was a girl named Brianna..."
[17:12] *** The letters lead away from the Exercise room....
[17:12] * Brianna McIntash [Lit Bunker Excercise Area] blinks and follows the letters
[17:13] *** The wall says, "Brianna's Mama, Eliza, and Grandmama, Chateaux, loved her very much, so they gave her a special present..."
[17:13] * Brianna McIntash [Lit Bunker Excercise Area] follows the letters, reading them in wonder
[17:14] *** Letters and words receding away down the hallway say "They knew how much she liked to read, so they wrote her a story about herself, and Brianna decided to follow them and make the story true to get a special present..."
[17:14] *** "Brianna started near the exercise room, and then she followed the story down the hall toward the Onsen..."
[17:15] * Brianna McIntash [Lit Bunker Excercise Area] follows each!
[17:15] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] and Chateaux Concierge have rigged up the wall itself to turn into a special scavenger hunt for Brianna with lots of presents along the way that the words lead her to make the story--each one better than the last!
[17:16] * Brianna McIntash [Lit Bunker Excercise Area] follows each clue in turn
[17:18] *** Brianna finds lots of gifts, all that match the story narration, and talk to her about how much she is special and loved.
[17:18] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Do you... do you think it's a good idea? That she'll like it?
[17:18] * Brianna McIntash [Lit Bunker Excercise Area] holds each gift....treasuring each....and really being happy
[17:19] *** The trail did lead out of the exercise area---it's an epic journey of discovery and presents and nouns and verbs and hot chocolate breaks!
[17:21] * Brianna McIntash [Lit Bunker Excercise Area] especally loves the hot chocolate...and grows very excited by each new challenge
[17:21] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I can't see her anymore.... does she like it?
[17:22] * Brianna McIntash has moved to: [ Adventure! ]
[17:23] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Looks that way
[17:23] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Heh... should we start, then?
[17:23] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I didn't really mean to draw a line on the thing leading her here. I guess it worked out good, though. :)
[17:24] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] kneels down....
[17:24] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] >:D
[17:25] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Yup!
[17:26] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] tears off the starting line...
[17:26] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] runs over to a climbing wall...
[17:26] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 15 ]
[17:26] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] follows her progress carefully, capturing all the data she can
[17:27] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] easily climbs over it, and then simply jumps forward, calls upon magic to land like a feather, then she keeps running....
[17:27] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] reaches a long jump
[17:27] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d207 [ 182 ]
[17:27] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 7 ]
[17:28] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] looks like she's going to land short, but she pulls out a perfect roll and does drastically better than she should have, in defiance of the odds...
[17:29] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] runs to the tunnel portion, and dives in headfirst...
[17:29] *** Eliza's brainwaves change to more relaxed alpha states as she crawls through the narrow passage.
[17:30] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] fights her way forward and into the elastic jungle...
[17:30] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 5 ]
[17:30] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] doesn't look like she's going to succeed, but her time doing contortions in the glass tube has made her a remarkable escape artist, and she gets out and advances without a problem...
[17:31] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] finally reaches the water obstacle, and jumps in without hesitation....
[17:31] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 14 ]
[17:31] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] is very clearly a talented swimmer. She swims through the water very quickly, and hauls herself over the finish line.
[17:31] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 2 ]
[17:31] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] pants, dripping...
[17:32] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] *huff* *huff* *huff* *huff*
[17:33] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] *huff* I know I.... *huff* am out of breath but *huff* I still could leap on a horse and ride into the sunset after all that, no problem....
[17:33] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] ^_^;;
[17:35] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] reaches up to wring her hair out.
[17:36] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] So... how did I do?
[17:38] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Very well! I noticed you used magic at one point to land
[17:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Was that because you needed to or was it on instinct?
[17:39] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Cause using Feather Fall is faster, and can be cast immediately. Faster time to jump foward instead of concerning yourself with *huff* a landing.
[17:40] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I've done it from the tallest balconies in your Atrium too, you know.
[17:40] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I'm a real daredevil athlete, when I put my mind to it...
[17:41] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] But it's *huff* obvious to me that I haven't done a run in a while...
[17:41] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] has a temperature exactly as elevated as a person who ran an obstacle course would be expected to, but she does start to get colder as the water evaporates from her.
[17:44] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I can throw my voice, make illusions, open or close things... I suppose I could have shattered a barrier during the race too. I trained to use my magic during physical exertion to give me every advantage possible. Not all of my magic is useful for this kind of thing, though.
[17:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Well I mean it shows that you use it a sa natural part of yourself
[17:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] which means studying it even for your own use is still important.
[17:47] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] nods self-consciously.
[17:49] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] thinks. "Chateaux... I was wondering how you were intending to do the psychological evaluation? I kinda figured it would involve you making me see and hear things to test me on how I reacted? Maybe? And something about broken fountain pens?"
[17:51] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] pulls out the old inkblot tests and such and gives her a a complete session, also using word association to probe things like simon, necromancy, evil, self-sacrifice, predestiny, fuility, inevitabilty
[17:52] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] naively asks if she can please dry off and sit down in a nice comfy chair before this, or if the timing is important.
[17:52] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] lets her dry off and such first.
[17:54] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] comes back over, nervously.
[17:55] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] does her best in the psychological test, and it is obviously hard on her. She displays very strong symptoms of PTSD and other things when some of these words are mentioned.
[17:56] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] ...And uh... that spot looks just like another bloodstain.
[17:56] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] swallows nervously. "He um... killed the guy while I was watching."
[17:57] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] looks down.
[17:57] *** brb Dinner
[18:17] *** back
[18:17] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] goes over the results
[18:20] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] has given mostly gloomy answers, but only on topics where it would be expected. Her brainwaves show that she is affected profoundly by these topics, and that they activate frequently-used neural pathways... so she probably thinks of at least some of these things often.
[18:20] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Chateaux, I'm a little bit surprised at this... this is a little bit like the questionnaires I was doing in those magazines about psychology to get a head start on this type of thing.
[18:21] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I wonder if you will say I have the same thing they did...
[18:22] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Intern told me those tests probably aren't valid, so I haven't brought them up.
[18:23] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] According to those, I have a really advanced case of...uh.... well... er, were you going to ask me any other questions?
[18:24] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Case of what?
[18:24] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I'm interested in your self diagnosis
[18:25] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Well, I don't know what it means, but all the tests I took said that I have something called "Claustrophilia."
[18:27] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] But Intern's really smart. They were just websites and quizzes I used on that smartphone you gave me, and Intern says that those are trying to sell me stuff.
[18:28] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] In this case I think Neminix was too quick to write off the diagnosis. She hasn't been watching you as I have
[18:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I'd say that diagnosis is at least partially accurate.
[18:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I mean, look at where you've been the last while.
[18:29] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Is it? Is it something bad?
[18:29] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] is obviously frightened about whatever this disorder is going to wind up being.
[18:30] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] It is if you ever want to be more than a shut-in.
[18:30] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] looks really crestfallen.
[18:31] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] But... I don't want to be. >.<
[18:31] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Then you need to work on overcoming your condition.
[18:32] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] is very anxious. "..."
[18:32] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Don't feel bad. Lots of people have issues that they need help pveroming.
[18:32] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] ^overcoming
[18:33] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] sighs. "I do feel bad."
[18:33] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] It's like there's always something wrong with me.
[18:33] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] But...
[18:33] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I keep telling myself.
[18:34] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 9 ]
[18:34] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] tears up a little bit, "I keep telling myself that if I were REALLY messed up, you would intervene and fix me and help me."
[18:34] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] That's... that's one of the reasons I wear your headphones so much...
[18:36] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Cause like... if I was relapsing or was going to, you could always fix it, if you had a mind to. Since you could control what I heard, you could probably do something if something in my head really broke."
[18:36] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] That thought that you'd help me was.... really calming.
[18:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Well,
[18:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I can
[18:36] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Need vs Wants.
[18:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Remember that version of me that I created to live in your mind.
[18:37] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] With some tweaking I can customize a "therapist" version.
[18:37] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Yes, I remember but... I have not heard from her in some time. I kind of broke after that night, I think.
[18:37] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] To sort of sit in your mind and work you through your issues one at a time.
[18:37] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I think... I think I was really far on my way to do that.
[18:38] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Yes but again you can't do it all yourself.
[18:38] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] And that's not... a bad thing.
[18:38] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] looks really confused.
[18:38] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] You humanoids are social creatures because you're built to work with others.
[18:39] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] 's brainwaves shift negative in response to Chateaux's sentence.
[18:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Whether you want to admit it or not.
[18:39] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] ...
[18:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] See, you're not liking this direction.
[18:39] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Are you sure?
[18:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] That's something else to overcome.
[18:40] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I'm still taking readings from you, remember?
[18:40] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] ....but I didn't disagree with you!
[18:40] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] mmm but some part of you did.
[18:40] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] looks puzzled now, instead of upset.
[18:40] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] ....try saying it a different way?
[18:41] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] shows her a copy of the brainwave shift.
[18:41] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I can command you but that's not what I want to do.
[18:41] *** The shift in thought during the sencence happened at the word "Built" being said by Chateaux.
[18:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] ...ah.
[18:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Okay, humans are just like that.
[18:42] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] You can command me?
[18:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] And you're human
[18:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I can.
[18:42] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] You aren't gonna like hearing me say this, but I find that really conforting.
[18:42] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I knowwww, I know...
[18:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] You are correct.
[18:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I want you to be independent and vital.
[18:43] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I'm sorry, Chateaux. I've just spent too much of my life being afraid I'm a serial killer. And walking around imprisoned in one.
[18:43] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I think I can be those things.
[18:44] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Chateaux, do you think an ordinary person, that we found on the street, would be afraid if somebody told them that they could MAKE them do something, whether they wanted to or not?
[18:45] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I don't. I'm not. You are an extremely powerful being compared to me... but I've never been afraid of your interventions---I guess I learned to welcome them--I was never, ever afraid of your power over me.....
[18:45] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] What I'm afraid of is....
[18:45] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] ....your judgement.
[18:46] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I'm really surprised I was able to tell you that without help.
[18:47] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] 's brainwaves look unusual.
[18:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] And I'm glad you could!
[18:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Mmm... I can be judgey at times but obviously I've accepted you as you are
[18:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] That doesn't mean I don't wan tto help you get better.
[18:48] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] sniffs. "Well I really REALLY do care what you think of me. I want to make you proud."
[18:48] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I find that....
[18:48] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] What's "transcendent" mean?
[18:49] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Maybe the word is sublime.
[18:49] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] But uh... I attach tremendous meaning to the fact that you care about me.. T_T
[18:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Good!
[18:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] So will you lset me set up a therapist-me to help you get to the next-level?
[18:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] sounds good!
[18:52] *** ignore that last line lol
[18:52] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Um... so what exactly is claustrophilia, Chateaux? What we are trying to fix?
[18:53] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Well the Therapist would be dealing with a lot of issues you have but this particular one is " abnormal pleasure derived from being in a confined space"
[18:54] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] thinks about this a long time....
[18:54] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I don't... I don't think that's fair.
[18:56] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I am not so sure I have that one.
[18:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Go on
[18:56] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I mean... you Intern said they were just magazines, right?
[18:57] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] 's brainwaves show that she's stressed and confused, and that her blood pressure is rising.
[18:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] So? You do take refuge in here quite a lot, to the exclusion of other opportunitis.
[18:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] You really enjoyed being in that coffin.
[18:57] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] shakes her head defiantly.
[18:57] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Yeah but---
[18:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] but~?
[18:58] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Chateaux, I enjoyed being in there because I was getting better, and I didn't have to fight, and you took care of me, and I wasn't afraid.
[18:58] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] ....eventually... eventually I was again, but I trained to try to stop it... to fight her.
[18:58] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Fair enough. So let's take that off the list
[18:58] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] You still have a great deal of fear to work though
[18:58] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I thought that your taking care of me, and breathing for me, and doing all of that for me, was the most special thing in the world. THAT was why I liked it.
[18:59] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I stayed inside you so I'd be ready when she came.
[18:59] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] (phrasing!)
[18:59] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] ....until... until I realized I wasn't willing to stop her.
[18:59] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Fair enough, as I said w'll take it off the list.
[18:59] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] She tormented me... always... that I was too weak...
[18:59] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] That I needed to be like them.
[19:00] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] listens
[19:00] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] 's brainwaves show that she's obviously using the same neural networks as she did during the word association with "simon, necromancy, doom, murder," etc.
[19:00] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] That's what the thing said.
[19:00] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] That's why it said that----that I had chosen to be spineless so I wouldn't stop her.
[19:00] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] ...that I wasn't complete.
[19:00] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Chateaux...
[19:01] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I....
[19:01] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] gets really nervous and self-conscious... trying to take a few deep breaths.
[19:01] *** Eliza clenches her eyes shut.
[19:01] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Chateaux
[19:02] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] leans her head back, trying not to cry...
[19:03] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Chateaux, this claustrophilia thing... I won't... I won't deny that, if you offered now to hook me all tight and snug into a different machine to check me out before you were done, I would truly rejoice...
[19:03] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] .....
[19:03] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] 's pulse and blood pressure and other biosigns elevate.
[19:03] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] But... I think that...
[19:03] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I think that's because...
[19:04] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] has a "come on, you can do it!" look in her eyes'
[19:04] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 9 ]
[19:05] <spiritflame> @Chateaux Concierge rolls 1d10 for confidence boosting gesture [ 2 ]
[19:05] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] 's voice is barely above a pained whisper... "I think it is because I taught myself that should look foward to that kind of thing because I was so sure I was too far gone... and that you'd... eventually need to restrain me.
[19:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] As long as you have even this level of self awareness - you're not too far gone.
[19:06] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] holds out her hand "As long as you can take my hand and accept help you can move forward.
[19:07] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] sniffs. "Chateaux..."
[19:07] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] You have been nothing but wonderful to me.
[19:07] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] You have given me a home and love and family and food and clothing and air and medicine and everything a normal person would need to have a fulfilling life...
[19:07] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] T_T
[19:08] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] still has her hand out
[19:08] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] But I haven't been able to enjoy it. I've always been fighting, or preparing to fight, or scared to death... and I am so sorry... I'm so sorry I haven't been able to enjoy it and be healthy.
[19:08] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I'm so sooo tired. It makes me so sad. I am so sick of it...
[19:09] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] If you can help me....
[19:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Then let's find you a new direction.
[19:09] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] reaches out and takes Chateaux's hand, trembling, "....then please do."
[19:09] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] grips her hand and pulsl her into a hug
[19:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Of course.
[19:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] All you had to do was ask.
[19:10] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] 's biosigns quickly start improving the moment that Eliza is held by Chateaux.
[19:10] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] takes Chateaux's hand, and hugs her tightly, closing her eyes.
[19:10] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] hugs her tight, and internally is preparing a therapy variat of herself that's better able to help her with her psycholoigcal issues and help treat ehr brain issues as well
[19:11] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] snaps her fingers and brings the spcial headphones here
[19:11] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] From today on, these headphones are not a means of insulating you in a bubble
[19:11] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] they'll give you all the calming music as before BUT
[19:11] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] uploads the code into it
[19:12] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] They'll also make a telepathic communication with you as you wear them, and that will send a therapist-version of me into your mind
[19:12] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] listens. This is very complicated, but what Eliza lacks in understanding she more than makes up for in profound trust.
[19:12] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] So *I* will always be with you, helping you, and counseling you, even if you can't always hear my voice or see me
[19:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] and I'll work on helping you with your issues and helping your brain and other things.
[19:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] okay?
[19:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I've also reinforced these so they'r enigh-indestructible
[19:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] and you can telepathically summon them back to yourself
[19:13] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] whispers, softly, "thank you. Thank you so much."
[19:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] So you'll never lose them
[19:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] You're very welcome, kiddo.
[19:14] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] puts them on her head gently
[19:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] From now on... it's time to heal.
[19:16] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] 's brainwaves patterns change drastically when Chateaux puts the headphones on her head, and her heartbeat and blood pressure start to return to normal. Even for those unable to see this, her relief is obvious.
[19:16] <Eliza McIntash> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] Thank you. I love you.
[19:16] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] closes her eyes... and listens..............
[19:19] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] listens....
[19:19] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] listens....
[19:19] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] breathes softly.
[19:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] I love you too, kiddo. Now rest, okay?
[19:20] <spiritflame> Eliza McIntash rolls 1d20 [ 20 ]
[19:21] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] 's only reply is a long sigh of happiness and contentment.
[19:23] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] :D
[19:23] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] /squesk night, kiddo
[19:23] <@Chateaux Concierge> [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] night, kiddo
[19:23] * @Chateaux Concierge [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] pats her head and vanishes
[19:23] * @Chateaux Concierge is away 
[19:24] * Eliza McIntash [Lit Bunker Exercise Area] curls her arms across herself, leaning back in the chair Chateaux performed the psych evaluation in, and drifts away among the new dreams she has wanted for so very long.

[19:42] *** after a voyage through space, along the aether tracks......
[19:43] * Sean Collins looks out the bridge's windows. "Looks all clear at the moment. No debris, no particles, and no stray solar waves."
[19:43] <Andy Dioli> Did people used to travel on these in the Silver Millenium?
[19:44] <Matsuo Shin> indeed
[19:44] <Sean Collins> Yes
[19:45] *** the ship approches Uranus...outside you can see the misty blue surface
[19:46] <Matsuo Shin> alright......always tricky..the gravity here is..unique
[19:46] * Andy Dioli just stares at the planet.
[19:47] *** you can also see a few of the moons as well
[19:48] <Andy Dioli> Hey can we see Fransisco from here?
[19:48] <Sean Collins> Fransisco?
[19:48] * Matsuo Shin looks..and points "it should be that small one over there"
[19:49] <Andy Dioli> It's one of Uranus's moon. It was the Sattalite I represented before Chibi-Usa made me the new Uranus.
[19:51] <Matsuo Shin> that should be it
[19:52] * Andy Dioli is already looking.
[19:52] <Sean Collins> Hmm...Can't say I've ever visited that one. Then again...we rarely did business in person with Uranus.
[19:52] * Matsuo Shin starts to lower the ship towards the planet..
[19:52] <Matsuo Shin> I had been there once
[19:53] <Matsuo Shin> my aunt took me there to visit the senshi there
[19:53] <Andy Dioli> ...
[19:53] * Matsuo Shin moves the ship down through the atmosphere, Francisco vanishing from view
[19:54] <Sean Collins> What's wrong?
[19:55] <Matsuo Shin> no wait..it was my grandmother
[19:55] * Nelius Raoul is keeping an eye out for any native life that might come up to investigate.
[19:56] * The ship breaks through the atmosphere....you can see land below...in the sky...several floating islands of rock!
[19:57] <Matsuo Shin> there used to be cities ontop of those islands
[19:57] <Sean Collins> Nice to see the Heliumite is still in the rocks.
[19:58] <Andy Dioli> Heliumite?
[19:59] <Andy Dioli> Helium is a notble gas, it's phsyically incapible of bonding into compounds
[19:59] <Andy Dioli> *Noble
[19:59] <Matsuo Shin> that's what you think
[19:59] <Sean Collins> It is a spongy mineral unique to Uranus, infused with the Helium from the atmosphere. It is embedded deep in chuncks of lans, and can cause them to float, like those islands.
[20:00] <Sean Collins> Like...land balloons.
[20:00] * Matsuo Shin slowly starts to land the ship onto the ground.....
[20:00] *** the ship lands with a THUD
[20:00] * Sean Collins stumbles a little!
[20:01] * Andy Dioli grabs onto a wall for support
[20:02] <Matsuo Shin> ok anchors away....
[20:02] <Sean Collins> A little rough on that landing?
[20:03] <@spiritflame> ATTENTION: Andy Dioli is already registered. Check your password or enter a new name.
[20:03] <Andy Dioli> How are we supposed to leave the ship?
[20:04] <Matsuo Shin> well
[20:04] <Andy Dioli> Demons, Ais and Aliens I get, but I'm pretty sure I'm a normal human.
[20:04] * Matsuo Shin opens the door
[20:04] <Matsuo Shin> ...you step out?
[20:04] * Matsuo Shin climbs down from the ship
[20:04] * Sean Collins steps out and surveys the area...
[20:05] <Andy Dioli> ....
[20:05] <Andy Dioli> This makes no sense...
[20:05] <Sean Collins> Is this the same place you landed last time?
[20:05] * Andy Dioli follows, half expecting to be unable to breathe
[20:06] <Matsuo Shin> it should be
[20:07] * Nelius Raoul and Burroughs head out onto Uranus's surface.
[20:07] *** the air smells....sweet..a tiny bit heavy but abosolutly breathable
[20:07] <Andy Dioli> I give up.
[20:08] <Sean Collins> What's the matter?
[20:08] *** the landscape is rocky, with plant life short and scrably but there....the sky above you is thick with clouds of a strange blue color...
[20:08] <Matsuo Shin> hm?
[20:08] <Nelius Raoul> This is more than likely a big shock to his system --- before now, he basically "knew" that Uranus was a dead planet. Imagine what he'll "know" next.
[20:09] <Sean Collins> Hopefully he can take it all in without too much blowing his mind.
[20:11] <Andy Dioli> The magic flying ship, I understand. I'm magic. The floating rocks are scientifically impossible, but I guess magic. BUT there's not a breathable atmosphere on Uranus
[20:11] * Matsuo Shin starts to carefully walk, keeping his eye out
[20:11] <Matsuo Shin> you're breathing it
[20:11] <Matsuo Shin> you're also standing on it
[20:12] * Andy Dioli follows Matsuo "THAT DOESN'T MEAN IT MAKES SENSE"
[20:12] <Nelius Raoul> Considering the massive incident well over 10,000 years back, there was a LOT of scientific research and evidence that got lost and needed to be rediscovered.
[20:12] <Andy Dioli> Also as I recall even the Princess didn't live on the surface
[20:13] <Matsuo Shin> of course she didn't
[20:13] * Matsuo Shin points to one of the floating islands
[20:13] <Matsuo Shin> she lived on one of those islands
[20:13] * Matsuo Shin smiles
[20:13] <Sean Collins> Yeah, its not a Magic thing.
[20:15] <Andy Dioli> Didn't she live in Miranda Castle?
[20:15] <Matsuo Shin> well if it was like my sister..not until she was of age
[20:15] <Matsuo Shin> I was always a little jealous....they all got castles
[20:16] * Matsuo Shin turns and nearly falls over O_O
[20:16] * There is suddenly a low moaning sound, that also seems to echo like a metal hull...
[20:17] <Matsuo Shin> .....
[20:17] <Sean Collins> Oh no...
[20:18] <Nelius Raoul> Trouble?
[20:18] <Matsuo Shin> oh Six
[20:18] * A huge , VERY ROUND, black form is slowly rising up over the edge of the land they are standing on..
[20:20] <Sean Collins> Don't let it see us...don't let it see us...don't let it see us...
[20:20] * Matsuo Shin stays still
[20:21] * Andy Dioli has his hand on his phone, not moving
[20:21] <Matsuo Shin> just...stay..still
[20:22] * The huge round thing bellows out another loud grinding moan, almost like a whale call....but harsher on the ears as it continues to rise up over the land. You can see a very long black tail trailing from the top of its..."backside"?
[20:22] <Matsuo Shin> ......
[20:24] * The huge round thing whips that tail, and it goes sailing off....soon to be followed by 3-4 smaller bulbous versions!
[20:24] <Matsuo Shin> ...stay..still
[20:25] * Matsuo Shin slowly starts to relax
[20:25] <Sean Collins> Yeesh...like nails on a chalkboard...
[20:26] <Nelius Raoul> ....so, what is that thing?
[20:26] <Matsuo Shin> that...was a Noble Gas Dragon
[20:27] <Sean Collins> What I was referring to as the Gas Bagon...
[20:28] <Nelius Raoul> I'd say I was skeptical due to its appearance, but considering the Netherworld has both Shark Dragons and Holy Dragons, I've no room to speak on that matter.
[20:29] <Sean Collins> They were used as royal transports by the nobility.
[20:29] * Matsuo Shin slowly starts to keep moving "they can be..very irritatable..."
[20:30] <Matsuo Shin> just don't attack them....
[20:30] <Matsuo Shin> it's a bad idea
[20:30] <Sean Collins> That Bulbous appearance is only for flight. They fill these sacks in their bellies with the helium gas to become weightless.
[20:30] <Sean Collins> Without it, they are very serpentine, and swift on land. They can strike, bite, and coil in the blink of an eye.
[20:31] <Sean Collins> And with as big as their mouths can get...
[20:31] <Matsuo Shin> there are several different species of dragon on this planet..
[20:31] <Matsuo Shin> yes....
[20:32] <Nelius Raoul> Bet they must make for a hell of a meal.
[20:33] <Sean Collins> I...have never heard of anyone eating one. >_>
[20:33] <Sean Collins> And what passed us by was a feral mother. You don't want her attention.
[20:33] <Matsuo Shin> that's cause they don't have any meat to eat
[20:34] <Nelius Raoul> So they're basically hot air and bone?
[20:34] <Sean Collins> Granted, they will snap you up in one bite...and their digestive system is...VERY volitile.
[20:36] <Nelius Raoul> So there's no stories of natives trying to fight and / or kill 'em?
[20:36] <Andy Dioli> Note to self, find magic sword with dragon slaying properties
[20:37] <Sean Collins> As far as I remember, the Uranians struggled for years to steal the eggs and tame the young...
[20:38] <Sean Collins> There is no taming or fighting adults. Once they snap you up, victims are digested in a matter of minutes. They do this to keep their bodies light for flight.
[20:39] <Nelius Raoul> Careful, I know a bunch of people who'd love to take up that challenge.
[20:39] <Sean Collins> You saw how big that mother was. She could swallow an entire village.
[20:39] <Andy Dioli> I'd beleive a Demon could live through that
[20:40] <Sean Collins> Digestion?
[20:40] * Matsuo Shin keeps walking...
[20:40] <Matsuo Shin> .....
[20:40] * Matsuo Shin bolts into a run....
[20:40] <Sean Collins> Mats-?!
[20:41] <Nelius Raoul> ...whoa, something lit a fire under his ass.
[20:41] <Andy Dioli> Should we go after him?
[20:42] <Nelius Raoul> I'd say yes.
[20:42] * Nelius Raoul goes to follow Matsuo.
[20:42] * Matsuo Shin is kneeling down next to a large dragon like creature...
[20:44] <Andy Dioli> ummmm
[20:44] * Sean Collins runs over and skids to a stop near Matsuo
[20:44] * Matsuo Shin is looking over the creature...it's not moving...
[20:44] <Nelius Raoul> ....this one dead?
[20:44] * Matsuo Shin moves a hand over what looks like a VERY large wound..a cut wound which looks like it was burned open
[20:44] <Matsuo Shin> yes
[20:45] * Sean Collins looks around. "Think its killer is still around here?"
[20:46] <Matsuo Shin> ...this was done by a man-made weapon...
[20:47] <Nelius Raoul> So we're not the only ones here, then. Think they could be looking to loot any remaining valuables?
[20:48] <Sean Collins> Poacher?
[20:48] <Matsuo Shin> I don't know....
[20:48] <Matsuo Shin> there shouldn't be any humanoid life down here...at least....
[20:48] <Matsuo Shin> ...I don't think so
[20:49] <Sean Collins> Anything on that creature that could be paoched?
[20:50] <Andy Dioli> How would they even get here?
[20:50] <Sean Collins> Portals? Or, Magic, that you keep referring to?
[20:52] * Matsuo Shin glances around....then looks
[20:52] <Matsuo Shin> ...that..might be in the answer
[20:52] * Matsuo Shin points to a cloud of smoke in the distance
[20:53] <Andy Dioli> Should we investigate?
[20:54] * Matsuo Shin looks to sean
[20:56] <Matsuo Shin> I think...we better
[20:56] * Matsuo Shin starts to quickly make his way towards the source of the smoke
[20:57] * Andy Dioli transforms as they move
[20:57] * Andy Dioli is now known as Neo Sailor Uranus
[20:58] * Nelius Raoul heads over to investigate as well. Burroughs is carefully recording this as they go.
[21:00] * Matsuo Shin coughs, as the smoke gets thicker as he gets closer...a smell of soot and metal hanging in the air ><
[21:03] *** as you get closer, the smoke gets thicker..you can feel heat hitting you all hard
[21:03] <Nelius Raoul> (Seems like today's just full of surprises.)
[21:04] * Matsuo Shin hides behind a rock outcroping...
[21:05] * Sean Collins reaches Matsuo, and manages to raise up a Silence wall to protect them!
[21:06] * Neo Sailor Uranus joins the others
[21:06] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Why are we hiding
[21:07] <Sean Collins> More like taking cover....
[21:08] * Nelius Raoul takes a look at what's ahead.
[21:12] <Sean Collins> Matsuo...should I take lead with the Silence shield?
[21:12] <Matsuo Shin> yes...
[21:12] <Matsuo Shin> we'll need the protectin
[21:13] *** as you approuch..the smoke clears a little..and you can see the ground has fallen open into a VERY large open mining pit...
[21:14] <Nelius Raoul> ....hm, open mining pit.... was Uranus known for any metals or minerals?
[21:15] <Matsuo Shin> (( oops ))
[21:15] * Matsuo Shin keeps behind sean
[21:15] * Matsuo Shin nods to sean
[21:18] <Sean Collins> Unless someone is after the Heliumite?
[21:19] * the heat from the mine is extreme....Sean, your silence shield is the only thing keeping it back away from the rest of the team
[21:20] <Sean Collins> Whoever goes down there...they must be melt proof?
[21:21] <Matsuo Shin> but what....
[21:21] *** the ground suddenly shakes hard like an earthquake!!!
[21:21] <Nelius Raoul> Betting they must have some heat-proof suits.
[21:22] <Matsuo Shin> wh..whoa!
[21:22] * Matsuo Shin falls over!
[21:22] * Sean Collins grabs Matsuo!
[21:23] <Matsuo Shin> O_O
[21:24] <Sean Collins> Hang on, I got ya!
[21:25] *** a huge figure rises from the pit...covered in black armor....smoke bletching from it's joints...a huge hammer in one hand
[21:25] <Matsuo Shin> uhhhhhhh.......
[21:26] <Nelius Raoul> .......is that a mech?
[21:26] * Sean Collins YOINKS Matsuo back!
[21:26] * Matsuo Shin is pulled back and stumbles onto his butt O_O
[21:27] * ?? turns...it's helmet glowing with red lights...
[21:28] * ?? looks at them....and then spots Andy
[21:28] <??> .....
[21:28] <??> - YOU ARE FRANCISCO -
[21:29] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Nope. Not anymore.
[21:29] <Neo Sailor Uranus> I'm Uranus now. Get off my planet.
[21:29] <??> - YOU HAVE COME TO RECTIFY THE CURSE UPON THIS PLANET -
[21:29] <Matsuo Shin> um
[21:29] <Matsuo Shin> Sean
[21:30] <Matsuo Shin> ...have any idea what this thing is?
[21:30] <Sean Collins> Curse?
[21:30] <Neo Sailor Uranus> First I've heard of a curse
[21:30] <Sean Collins> No idea...
[21:30] * ?? turns and thrusts a hand into the ground...pulling up huge chunks of rock
[21:32] <??> - ONCE THIS LAND WAS SMELT AND FIRE. SMOKE AND METAL. THE GREAT HAMMERS FELL AND WE MADE. -
[21:32] <??> - NOW THERE IS GREEN AND WILD. IT SHALL NOT BE. -
[21:32] <Sean Collins> But...that is how things evolve and adapt.
[21:33] <Matsuo Shin> this place healed..it deserved to heal
[21:34] <??> - WILD IS NOT NEEDED. IT HAS NO PURPOSE BEYOND TO BE USED TO MAKE -
[21:34] <??> - WE MAKE AND WE BECOME STRONG! -
[21:34] <Sean Collins> This thing has a one tract mind.
[21:35] * ?? looks to Andy "YOU UNDERSTAND. YOU ARE THE CHILD OF THE MAKER"
[21:35] * Matsuo Shin looks to Neo Uranus "..you know this thing?"
[21:35] <Sean Collins> Child of the Maker?
[21:35] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Uhhh. Would you belive me if I said I've forgotten?
[21:36] <Neo Sailor Uranus> I'm guessing... the Sailor Fransisco before me in the Silver Millenum made it. My? Their? Mother
[21:37] <??> - I AM TELOS I MAKE. I MINE. I SHALL MAKE ONCE AGAIN -
[21:37] * ?? is now known as Telos
[21:38] <Sean Collins> I think you need to retire...
[21:38] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Fransisco's duties was acting as a blacksmith. Alot of the weaponry the weaponry used by the Sailor Senshi and other important figures came from our forge
[21:40] <Matsuo Shin> so I'm guessing this thing....was built by her...and now it's going to tear apart the planet???
[21:41] * Telos picks up it's huge hammer and SLAMS it into the ground...causing the ground to shake again
[21:41] * Sean Collins stumbles back!
[21:41] <Neo Sailor Uranus> I think it's been doing that for ages. I'm surpised it still wo WAHHHN
[21:42] <Nelius Raoul> So this walking junk heap won't stop until Uranus is turned into a new asteroid belt?
[21:42] <Matsuo Shin> or at least all wildlife on this planet killed!
[21:42] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Hey Um, Telos, can you um. Stop?
[21:43] * Telos looks at Uranus
[21:44] <Telos> - ....I MAKE. YOU WANT ME NOT TO MAKE? BUT I MUST MAKE!!! I MUST CIVILIZE!!! -
[21:44] <Sean Collins> I don't think its willing to negotiate!
[21:44] <Matsuo Shin> ....it sounds pissed...
[21:44] <Matsuo Shin> I belive the term is
[21:45] <Neo Sailor Uranus> No one lives here any more
[21:46] <Neo Sailor Uranus> even if you make a whole city, there's no people for it
[21:48] <Telos> - YOU ARE NOT THE MAKER'S CHILD. YOU DO NOT WISH ME TO MAKE. YOU ARE WRONG!!!! -
[21:48] * Sean Collins fast henshins into his armor!
[21:49] * Sean Collins is now known as Saturn Knight
[21:49] <Saturn Knight> Hostile!
[21:49] * Matsuo Shin pulls out..a small spear?
[21:49] * Telos rises out of the pit..he's a good 30 ft tall!
[21:49] * Neo Sailor Uranus summons his swords
[21:50] <Telos> - I WILL MAKE! I WILL MAKE FOREVER! -
[21:50] * Telos tries to swing the HUGE hammer at the group!
[21:50] <Matsuo Shin> whoa whoa whoa!
[21:51] * Matsuo Shin tries to get out of the way!
[21:51] * Saturn Knight throws up a Silence dome over the group!
[21:51] * Nelius Raoul summons one of Cubus's limbs to catch the hammer!
[21:53] * Neo Sailor Uranus dodges
[21:53] * Telos 's hammer STRIKES the dome HARD...while Raoul's limbs grab at it
[21:53] * Telos roars with a metallic sound!
[21:54] * Saturn Knight is driven partially down, cracking the cround benieth him!
[21:55] <Saturn Knight> I think...I can only take one more hit...MOVE!
[21:55] <Matsuo Shin> if the thing was organic, I could control it's mind!
[21:55] * Nelius Raoul summons another limb to strike Telos across its face!
[21:55] <Matsuo Shin> but, sean!
[21:55] * Telos is struck across the face!!!!
[21:55] * Saturn Knight 's silence dome is cracked....
[21:55] * Telos Stumbles back..but then tries to PUNCH the dome!
[21:56] <Saturn Knight> GET OUT OF THE-!
[21:56] <Nelius Raoul> Better scatter!
[21:57] * Neo Sailor Uranus summons a diffrent sword "Alright, big gun time. FALSE SWORD BLASTER"
[21:57] * Saturn Knight 's dome is hit and shatters! The fist crashing down into the ground, splitting it and sending Sean flying abd tumbling back!
[21:58] * Telos ROARS in anger, it's arm hit by the blast, which sparks
[21:58] * Matsuo Shin reaches out and telekinitically and THROWS a rock at Telos, smacking it upside the head...denting it but only making it madder
[21:58] <Matsuo Shin> OH (quinoxian swear word)
[21:58] * Nelius Raoul quickly moves to go catch Sean while Cubus fully incarnates to attack Telos with a tail-swipe!
[21:59] * Neo Sailor Uranus 's fake Space Sword crumbles to dust. "Stand down Telos, I don't wanna destory you"
[22:01] * Saturn Knight coughs. "Thanks..."
[22:01] * Telos is knocked over by the tail but grabs the tail, roaring and tries to swing Cubus at the rest of the group!
[22:02] <Matsuo Shin> !!!
[22:02] <Cubus Gigant> - Big Mistake! -
[22:02] * Matsuo Shin tries to run out of the way!
[22:03] * Cubus Gigant opens up the eyes along its body to fire lasers at Telos!
[22:03] <Saturn Knight> ...This thing...is a war machine...
[22:04] * Telos is hit by the lasers..and starts to glow red hot!
[22:04] <Matsuo Shin> !!!
[22:05] <Neo Sailor Uranus> I said we made weapon! What did you expect? A tractor!?
[22:06] * Saturn Knight regains his feet, and summons his sword!
[22:07] * Matsuo Shin tries to get out of the way as it sweeps it's arm around....the heat high enough that some of the grass catches on fire!
[22:07] * Cubus Gigant goes to swipe at Telos's armor with its thick, powerful claws!
[22:08] <Saturn Knight> ITs going to incinerate the place!
[22:08] * Neo Sailor Uranus summons two sets of his regular swords, two in each hand, and throws them at Telos, coming from all four main directions at once
[22:08] * Telos 's metal skin is red hot and skalding thanks to Cubus' attack, the strike causing it to stumble backwards!
[22:08] <Matsuo Shin> we have to do SOMETHING
[22:09] <Saturn Knight> Attacking it head on isn't working!
[22:09] * Telos ROARS metallically, the swords striking it at all sides...but bouncing off it's thick metal skin
[22:10] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Of course it's armor is too thick for swords
[22:10] * Nelius Raoul gets an idea --- he casts an Omega Ice on Telos. Heat it up, then rapidly cool it down to make the metal brittle!
[22:11] <Saturn Knight> Maybe there is a blind spot...
[22:11] * Telos is hit by the ice attack....which melts VERY quickly due to it's red hot surface
[22:11] <Matsuo Shin> like WHAT?
[22:11] * Saturn Knight charges forward, using his speed an agility to try and get around the giant metal creature!
[22:13] <Neo Sailor Uranus> ....
[22:13] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Nelius throw me into the air.
[22:14] * Matsuo Shin moves to try and act as a distraction!
[22:14] * Telos spots Matsuo and tries to move towards him!
[22:14] * Nelius Raoul heads over to Neo Uranus. "Up you go!" He FLINGS Neo Uranus high into the air!!
[22:15] * Cubus Gigant goes to stab its claws into Telos's eyes!!
[22:16] * Telos grabs at Cubus's arm...the claw scratching across it's face, scarring the metal a little
[22:16] * Neo Sailor Uranus summons his halberd, and aims to fall right onto the top of Teleos's head
[22:17] * Saturn Knight manages to get behind the giant metal thing, thanks to all the distractions, Turns and summons his Silence Shield, possibly looking for a place to strike! Some Vulnerability...
[22:18] * Telos 's hit right ontop of the head.....it...bounces off
[22:19] * Telos doesn't seem to have any weakness..except...sean you can see..a small seal on it's right heel, displaying the symbol of Francisco...
[22:19] * Matsuo Shin is still trying to dodge the attack!
[22:19] <Matsuo Shin> *attacks!
[22:19] <Nelius Raoul> Huh.... hey, I see an Achilles' Heel --- right foot, there's a symbol!
[22:20] * Neo Sailor Uranus lands behind it and throws a dagger at it's heel.
[22:20] <Saturn Knight> (( how can you see it? You're in front of it? ))
[22:20] <Matsuo Shin> wait what?
[22:21] <Matsuo Shin> (( Saturn Knight has a point ))
[22:22] *** only Sean is able to see the Seal on the heel at the moment
[22:22] <Nelius Raoul> (( Guess this is what I get for reading a little too quickly. My bad, doods. ))
[22:23] <Matsuo Shin> Sean!? can you see anything that we can use!?
[22:24] <Saturn Knight> What...is that?...I see some sort of seal!
[22:24] <Matsuo Shin> A seal!?
[22:24] * Matsuo Shin yells out
[22:24] <Matsuo Shin> GUYS! SEAN, ANDY, RAOUL...ATTACK THAT SEAL!
[22:24] <Saturn Knight> On the back of its right heel!
[22:25] * Saturn Knight takes aim at the seal...and throws the Silence Shield with all his might at it!
[22:25] * Neo Sailor Uranus throws one of his curved blades at it
[22:25] * Nelius Raoul fires a Tera Star spell at the seal! Time to fry this thing!
[22:26] * Cubus Gigant acts to help pin down Telos and help the other strike the seal more easily!
[22:26] *** the attack hits the seal and SHATTERS it....a strange liquid pours out into the pit.........
[22:26] <Telos> !!
[22:26] * Telos starts to stumble......and crack.....and falls over due to the pin
[22:26] * Saturn Knight recoils back from the hot molten liquid!
[22:26] * Telos turns it's head towards Neo Uranus.....
[22:27] <Telos> - M-MAKER..H..H..HELP ME............M..MAKER... -
[22:27] * Telos has..a tear? falling down it's metallic face
[22:28] <Neo Sailor Uranus> I asked you to stand down. And you attacked us instead
[22:28] * Telos 's eyes go dark...........as it cracks apart........
[22:28] <Neo Sailor Uranus> I'm sorry.
[22:28] * The ground shakes...as the pit starts to collapse in on it's self.....along with the ground you're all on!
[22:29] <Matsuo Shin> !!!!
[22:29] <Matsuo Shin> WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!
[22:29] <Saturn Knight> Run! RUN! RUN!!!
[22:29] <Nelius Raoul> Say no more!
[22:29] * Matsuo Shin starts to scramble away as the ground starts to fall apart under them
[22:29] * Neo Sailor Uranus flees
[22:29] * Saturn Knight runs after the others!
[22:29] * Nelius Raoul bolts for the ship --- if anyone is lagging behind, Cubus can catch them and fly 'em to the ship.
[22:31] <Matsuo Shin> SEAN! URANUS!
[22:32] * the ground cracks in front of the ship...creating a barrier seperating them!
[22:32] <Matsuo Shin> OH NO NO NO NO!
[22:32] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Oh come the f[BLEEP]k on, how was this thing load bearing
[22:32] <Saturn Knight> ARION!
[22:33] * A glowing portal suddenly appears out of nowhere?
[22:33] <Matsuo Shin> wait..what is that!?
[22:34] <Nelius Raoul> Friend or foe, though?
[22:35] <Matsuo Shin> DO WE HAVE A CHOICE!?
[22:35] * appears in a flash of blue flames!
[22:35] <Arion> ^
[22:35] <Saturn Knight> What about the ship?!
[22:36] <Matsuo Shin> WE DON'T HAVE TIME
[22:38] <Nelius Raoul> ....screw it. I'll have Cubus carry it.
[22:38] <Neo Sailor Uranus> ENOUGH TALK
[22:38] <Matsuo Shin> JUST GET IN THAT PORTAL
[22:38] * Neo Sailor Uranus just jumps in
[22:39] * Saturn Knight and Arion jump through the portal!
[22:39] * Matsuo Shin manages to throw himself through the portal!
[22:39] * Some dark shape scrambles into the ship in a panic!
[22:39] * Nelius Raoul heads through the Portal, whilst Cubus goes to grab the ship and carry it through (assuming the portal is big enough. If not, he can carry off-planet)
[22:40] * The portal is not big enough for the ship..so it's carried off planet
[22:40] *** you all land rather hard......directly into a pile of empty beer cans
[22:40] <Matsuo Shin> GAH!
[22:41] * The moment the ship is jarred, something seems to "explode" in the cabin, breaking all the windows and making the hull swell!
[22:41] <Nelius Raoul> ......somehow, I should've expected this.
[22:41] <Neo Sailor Uranus> ugh.... This better not be Haruka's room
[22:42] <Matsuo Shin> sean..SEAN!/
[22:42] <Matsuo Shin> *Sean!?
[22:42] * On Uranus , the ship can be seen...floating?...around the floating islands....and something is trailing out the back of the cabin door?
[22:42] * Saturn Knight and Arion made it through, and are standing aside from where they nalded.
[22:42] <Saturn Knight> ^landed
[22:43] * Cubus Gigant uses one of the eyes on its body to get a closer look at what's going on with the ship.
[22:43] <Nelius Raoul> ....this is an odd place. Burroughs, any idea where we are?
[22:43] <Burroughs> ♦ Lemme see....
[22:43] *** the entire space is dark at the moment
[22:43] * An adolescant Noble Gas Dragon can be seen, swollen in the cabin, filling it to the brim...and floating away with the ship like a suit...
[22:43] <Matsuo Shin> how many..cans are there here...
[22:44] <Cubus Gigant> - ....this has to be some kind of cosmic joke. -
[22:44] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Too many
[22:44] * Matsuo Shin feels around....and hits something
[22:44] * Nelius Raoul goes to use a low-power Star spell to help light up the area.
[22:45] *** the entire room lights up, as several screens come alive....showing images of Uranus from space......
[22:45] <Matsuo Shin> ....
[22:45] <Saturn Knight> ...where are we?
[22:46] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Is this.... Princess Uranus's castle?
[22:46] *** the room is simplistic yet futuristic..it's also a bit of a mess...tons of beer cans....several motoring magazines laying face down on the consoles....a half eaten sandwich on one console
[22:46] <Matsuo Shin> ......
[22:46] <Saturn Knight> This is...Haruka's room?
[22:46] <Burroughs> ♦ .....I'd say the signs point towards "Yes".
[22:46] <Neo Sailor Uranus> No. This is too clean for that.
[22:47] <Matsuo Shin> ...I think......
[22:47] * Matsuo Shin looks around...
[22:47] <Matsuo Shin> ..the systems are working perfectly..
[22:48] * Saturn Knight looks at one of the screens while Arion vanishes with a snort.
[22:48] * Neo Sailor Uranus walks over the the consles, pushing the junk outta the way
[22:48] <Saturn Knight> This almost reminds me of the War Room.
[22:49] * the console is online...there's an advanced touch screen.....
[22:49] * Neo Sailor Uranus tries to use it to get some awnsers
[22:49] * Matsuo Shin walks towards what seems to be a door and walks through...
[22:50] * Cubus Gigant works to try and get the Gas Dragon out of the ship.
[22:50] * the console runs answers on the screen....which is all in Ancient Uranian....and no you don't have access to the Time Lord Translation Field
[22:51] <Neo Sailor Uranus> ....Matsuo can you read this?
[22:51] * Matsuo Shin isn't in the room!
[22:52] * The young Noble Gas Dragon only panics Cubus's attempts and whips its tail to float faster!
[22:53] <Nelius Raoul> ....I think he got separated from us. Where'd he go?
[22:53] * Matsuo Shin is heard to make a yelp!
[22:54] <Nelius Raoul> .....hoo boy.
[22:54] * Saturn Knight goes to check on Matsuo!
[22:54] * Nelius Raoul dashes over to see what mess Matsuo got himself into.
[22:54] * Matsuo Shin is in a room not far off and is staring at..a painting?
[22:54] * Cubus Gigant is surprisingly speedy for his size. He's taking that ship back, even if he has to gut this thing like a fish.
[22:55] * Matsuo Shin hears the others coming and turns
[22:55] <Matsuo Shin> NO NO NO NO
[22:55] * Matsuo Shin tries to turn them away as soon as they run in!
[22:55] <Saturn Knight> Matsuo?
[22:55] <Nelius Raoul> ........lemme guess, found something else embarrassing as all hell?
[22:56] <Matsuo Shin> DON'T LOOK
[22:56] * The young Noble Gas Dragon starts making yelping cries!....and it is answered by a deeper bellowing metallic call....
[22:57] * Neo Sailor Uranus looks
[22:57] <Saturn Knight> Dude, what's wrong?
[22:57] <Cubus Gigant> - Kindly exit the ship. That is all I need. -
[22:57] <Neo Sailor Uranus> I don't remember any Uraianin, I could use a translator
[22:58] *** those who do look....you spot a VERY large painting..it's an amazing piece of art..depicting all the Princesses of the Outer Worlds, posed in manners that are almost like seductive goddesses...............oh and they're all...lacking clothes
[22:59] * Matsuo Shin scrambles and tries to hide the image of his sister!
[22:59] <Nelius Raoul> .....yep, this is definitely the belonging of the Uranian Princess. Surprise 0/100.
[22:59] * An Immense Adult Female Noble Gas Dragon rises up to intercept and protect her young....these creatures don't seem to speak or understand commands of your species...
[23:00] <Saturn Knight> ....Spirits would disapprove... >_<
[23:00] <Neo Sailor Uranus> ......
[23:00] * Saturn Knight averts his eyes
[23:02] <Matsuo Shin> ..um
[23:02] <Matsuo Shin> ..yes..I...read..Uranian
[23:02] <Nelius Raoul> Either way, not letting Tenou learn of this.
[23:02] <Nelius Raoul> So let's get back to that computer and agree that this never happened. Agreed?
[23:02] <Neo Sailor Uranus> She's on there too. It's blackmail
[23:02] <Saturn Knight> That will haunt me...
[23:04] <Matsuo Shin> *cough*
[23:04] * Matsuo Shin tries to...move back.......to the control room
[23:04] * Saturn Knight retreats
[23:05] * Matsuo Shin walks over and brings up the system, reading the text
[23:05] <Matsuo Shin> well...
[23:05] <Matsuo Shin> .....this IS Miranda Castle
[23:06] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Thought so. Can it get us home?
[23:07] * Matsuo Shin keeps typing
[23:07] * Saturn Knight glance at one of the monitors again...and gets an odd look...
[23:07] <Matsuo Shin> unless we have a spaceship no....wait......
[23:07] * Matsuo Shin keeps typing
[23:07] <Matsuo Shin> ...it looks like there is..one other exit here
[23:07] <Saturn Knight> Uh...Matsuo...you need to see this...
[23:08] * Matsuo Shin glances up "what is it?"
[23:08] * Saturn Knight points at the screen, where they can see the ship...swollen with a young gad dragon, fleeing behind a giant female that is confronting Cubus...
[23:10] <Nelius Raoul> ...oh lovely. Those things got any exploitable weaknesses, 'cause I'm certain Matsuo doesn't have insurance on that ship.
[23:10] <Matsuo Shin> ...oh six no...
[23:11] <Matsuo Shin> as...as long as Cubus doesn't attack..it should be fine
[23:11] <Saturn Knight> I'd recommend withdrawing your critter....
[23:11] <Saturn Knight> Chasing and scaring the young one will only cause more problems, and could destroy the ship for sure.
[23:12] <Nelius Raoul> Hopefully you have a plan to get the ship back, 'cause otherwise you're gonna be waiting a while.
[23:12] <Matsuo Shin> ..I..i'll figure out something
[23:13] <Saturn Knight> As long as it still...there, we can get it back with a plan.
[23:13] * Nelius Raoul has Cubus back away for the time being.
[23:13] <Matsuo Shin> um anyway
[23:14] <Matsuo Shin> it looks like there is another exit....but it's on a lower level
[23:15] * The Adult Female Noble Gas Dragon withdraws with her young...
[23:16] <Saturn Knight> Let's get out of here...before the spirits demand a lawsuit for that painting...
[23:17] * Matsuo Shin tries to move through the beer cans and heads out of the room.....
[23:19] * Matsuo Shin tries to ignore the painting.....
[23:19] <Matsuo Shin> ><
[23:20] * Nelius Raoul uses his wings to help sweep aside the mountains of cans and clear a path.
[23:22] * Neo Sailor Uranus follows the others.
[23:22] *** as you leave the control room..you find the archetecture of the rest of the area much more like a strange mix of classical greek with almost a metallic gilded age look
[23:23] <Saturn Knight> So, beer cans are not ancient...Haruka has been coming back here for a reason?
[23:23] <Neo Sailor Uranus> there was a sandwhich too
[23:24] <Nelius Raoul> ....so does she have a possible door back to the Hotel somewhere in here?
[23:27] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Maybe she just uses the hotel's door?
[23:27] <Matsuo Shin> so wait..that means she knew about this place all along...
[23:28] <Saturn Knight> Seems logical...
[23:29] <Matsuo Shin> ...and she didn't tell anyone
[23:29] <Saturn Knight> That's Haruka, for sure.
[23:29] * Matsuo Shin keeps moving...going down grand staircases.....
[23:30] <Neo Sailor Uranus> It's not like it was a secret
[23:30] *** there's artwork depicting grand landscapes...there's a room with portriets of all the other satillite senshi
[23:30] <Matsuo Shin> waht do you mean it wasn't a secret!?
[23:32] <Neo Sailor Uranus> That the castle was here. I knew it was here, you knew it was here. Anyone who's read the manga about the Sailor Senshi knews it's here
[23:32] <Neo Sailor Uranus> And I'm pretty sure the other uranus satalittes weren't in the dark either
[23:32] <Saturn Knight> I think Matsuo means the status of the planet itself.
[23:32] <Matsuo Shin> NOBODY TOLD ME THIS THING SURVIVED
[23:33] <Neo Sailor Uranus> ....
[23:34] <Neo Sailor Uranus> I mean I didn't know it was functional, but I knew it existed. I assumed it was ruin
[23:35] <Neo Sailor Uranus> But then again Sailor Moon restored the Moon Kingdom, phsyically at least. Maybe all this got restored too?
[23:35] <Nelius Raoul> Focus, gentlemen. Let's find that way off this planet --- once we have it secured, we can come back to ensure the ship isn't too dinged up by the gas lizard's joyride.
[23:35] <Matsuo Shin> we're not on the planet
[23:35] <Matsuo Shin> ..we're orbiting it
[23:36] <Matsuo Shin> it should be down this way!
[23:37] <Saturn Knight> I dunno if this place is restored. Looks more like it wasn't damaged, and only recently...trashed by Haruka?
[23:39] <Matsuo Shin> it's possible..but without asking...
[23:39] * Matsuo Shin turns a corner...and points to a door way..a bit more elaboratly decorated then the rest
[23:39] <Matsuo Shin> ...there...that's the exit
[23:39] <Saturn Knight> Just...don't blow up at her.
[23:39] * Neo Sailor Uranus looks to see if his Senshi phone has any sort of signal.
[23:44] <Nelius Raoul> Hopefully this won't dump us somewhere we'd rather not be.
[23:44] * the phone does have a signal
[23:44] <Neo Sailor Uranus> .....
[23:45] <Neo Sailor Uranus> I could just call the hotel?
[23:46] <Matsuo Shin> and get them to do what?
[23:46] <Neo Sailor Uranus> Open the back door?
[23:47] <Neo Sailor Uranus> or see if Haruka is awake?
[23:48] <Saturn Knight> I get the feeling Haruka won't be happy to know we found her little hideaway.
[23:49] * Nelius Raoul heads over to open the door.
[23:50] * Matsuo Shin walks through the door!
[23:51] * Saturn Knight follows...
[23:52] *** Matsuo Shin [Shin@history.um.u-tokyo.ac.jp] has left #suburbansenshi3
[23:52] *** Saturn Knight has left #suburbansenshi3

[21:21] <David O`Cain> How did it break?
[21:23] * Matsumi Kaze picks up a piece of glass and suddenly drops it
[21:23] <Matsumi Kaze> GAH
[21:23] <David O`Cain> What? What happened?
[21:23] <D. Kakaku> what is it?
[21:25] <Matsumi Kaze> ...thing's cold like ice
[21:26] <D. Kakaku> temperature changing quickly?
[21:27] * Matsumi Kaze glances over as a man is being carted towards an ambulance
[21:27] <Matsumi Kaze> excuse me you two
[21:27] * Matsumi Kaze goes over to talk to the man carrying him away
[21:27] *** the glass is all around you...the glass door is shattered inward
[21:31] <D. Kakaku> was this an inside job?
[21:32] * Matsumi Kaze returns
[21:32] <David O`Cain> Hmm. I'm guessing somebody used something very cold to break the glass based on Matsumi's reaction.
[21:32] * David O`Cain looks at Daniel, "Got proof?"
[21:32] <Matsumi Kaze> ...that was the security guard....he's going to live...barely
[21:32] <Matsumi Kaze> hm what's that?
[21:33] <D. Kakaku> well, the glass is inward.
[21:33] <David O`Cain> He (motions to Daniel) wondered if it was an inside job. I just asked him if he got proof of it.
[21:35] * David O`Cain opens up a vid-window, and starts conducting scans, "Daxter, see if you can get any biological and energy readings."
[21:35] <Daxter> ♦ On it. Let's see what we can find here...
[21:39] * David O`Cain checks the doorway, glass and floor with the vid-window
[21:43] *** there is traces of some kind of energy on the glass..but it's fading
[21:43] <David O`Cain> Picking up some energy on the glass itself.
[21:44] * Daxter tries to determine what sort of energy it is before it's gone
[21:44] <D. Kakaku> hmm?
[21:48] <D. Kakaku> what kind of energy is it?
[21:48] <David O`Cain> Not sure yet. Daxter's analyzing as quickly as he can.
[21:52] *** the energy is too faint to make out directly what it is..but it seems to be a planetary signature
[21:52] * Matsumi Kaze has gone further in, where several investigators from the Shin group are tehre
[21:53] <D. Kakaku> I'm going in, let us know what you find
[21:53] * D. Kakaku walks in
[21:54] * Matsumi Kaze is talking with one tall man
[21:57] <D. Kakaku> only energy on the glass, don't know what energy it is yet.
[21:58] <Daxter> ♦ Well, one thing for sure is it's a planetary sig. Only one that comes to mind is Mercury.
[21:58] <Matsumi Kaze> hm?
[21:58] <Matsumi Kaze> well....
[21:58] <David O`Cain> Are you sure, Dax?
[21:58] <Matsumi Kaze> they do have some footage but there isn't much
[21:58] <D. Kakaku> really?
[22:01] <Daxter> ♦ Yup, very sure. We can rule out you and the family. You guys weren't even near here until tonight.
[22:01] <David O`Cain> Thanks.
[22:01] * David O`Cain heads over to where Daniel and Matsumi are
[22:01] <D. Kakaku> how much footage is there?8
[22:07] <Matsumi Kaze> well that's what I'm about to look at
[22:07] * Matsumi Kaze follows the man towards one of the rooms
[22:09] * D. Kakaku follows the two.
[22:09] * David O`Cain follows as well
[22:09] * Matsumi Kaze enters what seems to be a security room...
[22:10] * Matsumi Kaze takes a seat in one of the chairs..
[22:10] * David O`Cain sits down in a chair
[22:12] * D. Kakaku sits in a third chair.
[22:13] * Matsumi Kaze switches it on and watches
[22:15] * D. Kakaku watches the screen
[22:18] *** the screen at first shows just the front entrance...with the guard in place....then after about 6:00, there's a flash, the window bursting inwards and a blur. the guard is on the ground and then the blur proceeds to go the oppisite way....after that everything is silent
[22:19] <David O`Cain> Any way to slow down the footage?
[22:19] <Matsumi Kaze> um
[22:19] * Matsumi Kaze gestaures to someone to help her with that
[22:20] <Matsumi Kaze> ...I'm not great with technology
[22:22] <D. Kakaku> can't you swirl the tape circle?
[22:24] *** the footage is slowed down...immensly...the blur is revealed to be someone in a grey body suit..a metal mask over their face...they seem to glow as they appear on the screen
[22:27] <D. Kakaku> ok, so who's the glowing guy?
[22:27] <David O`Cain> Hmm. Doesn't look familiar to me.
[22:28] <Matsumi Kaze> ....I have no idea
[22:32] <David O`Cain> Regardless, it's possible that person has ice powers.
[22:33] <D. Kakaku> Ice powers?
[22:34] <David O`Cain> Daxter picked up ice energy on the glass. However, that energy was fading at the time of detection.
[22:38] * Matsumi Kaze blinks as the figure looks like they're holding..some kind of weapon
[22:40] <D. Kakaku> what're you looking at,matsumi?
[22:43] <Matsumi Kaze> ...I don't know
[22:43] <Matsumi Kaze> looks..weirdly familer
[22:44] <D. Kakaku> what does?
[22:45] * David O`Cain looks at the screen
[22:45] * D. Kakaku looks a bit more cloesly
[22:48] *** the figure is holding some kind of long staff weapon, with a curved edge
[22:49] <D. Kakaku> anyone know anybody with a staff?
[22:50] <Matsumi Kaze> well there are a few
[22:50] <Matsumi Kaze> none of them would have a reason to break in here
[22:53] <Matsumi Kaze> ..question is..what did they take
[22:53] <D. Kakaku> curved edges?
[22:53] <D. Kakaku> yeah, what was taken?
[22:55] * Matsumi Kaze turns in her chair and tells something to a man in black who walks off
[22:55] <Matsumi Kaze> well..we're about to find out
[23:02] <David O`Cain> Okay.
[23:03] * Matsumi Kaze is brought a file and looks over it
[23:03] <Matsumi Kaze> well...it was on loan from Mizunomics...
[23:04] <David O`Cain> Yeah?
[23:06] <Matsumi Kaze> some kind of...gray goop experiment
[23:06] <Matsumi Kaze> I really don't know what half the things she makes are
[23:07] <David O`Cain> Gotcha. So, what is this goop?
[23:10] <Matsumi Kaze> um...says it's an inert mechanical substance?.....and blah blah blah scientific junk
[23:10] <D. Kakaku> and who would want inert goop?
[23:12] <Matsumi Kaze> ..I have no idea
[23:12] <Matsumi Kaze> but apperently they wanted it badly to break in
[23:12] <David O`Cain> May I look?
[23:13] <David O`Cain> The file, I mean.
[23:14] <Matsumi Kaze> oh sure
[23:14] * Matsumi Kaze hands it over
[23:16] * David O`Cain takes the file and looks it over
[23:16] *** the goop was some sort of byproduct from an eariler project. It's an inert nano-substance but is of little practical use
[23:17] * David O`Cain looks to see which project the goop came from
[23:18] *** the project is not named
[23:21] <David O`Cain> (Hmm.)
[23:23] <David O`Cain> Well, seems to be useless nano-tech according to the notes. Whoever took it found a use for it Mizunomics couldn't?
[23:24] <Matsumi Kaze> maybe..I couldn't think what
[23:27] <David O`Cain> Anyway, it was a byproduct from another project, but I don't see a name or title for it.
[23:28] <Matsumi Kaze> yeah.....probably wasn't given one
[23:28] <Matsumi Kaze> maybe we hsould head back...wait until we get more information
[23:28] <Matsumi Kaze> maybe once the man recovers we'll find out something
[23:29] <D. Kakaku> yeah, probably.
[23:30] * Matsumi Kaze heads back towards the car
[23:31] * David O`Cain stands up, and heads out, "Should we leave the file here?"
[23:31] *** Matsumi Kaze [AirGal@QTech.com] has left #suburbansenshi3
[23:31] <Matsumi Kaze> no take it with
[23:31] *** Matsumi Kaze [AirGal@QTech.com] has left #suburbansenshi3
[23:31] *** David O`Cain [JRPMoonSoldier@MKArmyRanger.mil] has left #suburbansenshi3 (Okay (carries the file with him).)
[23:32] *** D. Kakaku has left #suburbansenshi3 (Yeah! Let's go!)
[11:19] *** Meanwhile
[11:19] * Minerva robotically walks into a cell and carefully sits down as the energy field in front of it is turned on
[11:20] * Minerva 's collar light turns off
[11:20] <Minerva> ....GAH
[11:20] * Minerva scrambles to her feet but stumbles
[11:20] * Minerva is weak from the lack of food
[11:20] * Minerva stands and starts to try and slams her fist against the walls....trying to find a way out
[11:21] <Minerva> come on come on....
[11:21] <Maia> ...will you keep it down....some of us are trying to rest...
[11:22] <Minerva> I am trying to ESCAPE
[11:22] <Minerva> now are you going to help or just sit there!?
[11:22] <Maia> ...I am conserving my energy...or is this something you never learned in the outer courts
[11:23] <Minerva> ...you know I forgot how irritating you Inners are....
[11:24] * Maia says nothing, simply sitting there
[11:26] * Minerva watches as a mind controlled Nike and Aphrodiate are removed from their cells and lead away
[11:27] <Minerva> ...this is madness!
[11:27] <Maia> quite efficent honestly....
[11:27] <Minerva> you actually ADMIRE THIS!?
[11:28] <Maia> they have logically utalized the technology quite well.......
[11:28] <Minerva> you know...that reminds me
[11:28] <Minerva> how did they bring us back?
[11:28] * Maia says nothing, calmly looking ahead
[11:28] <Minerva> ...Maia?....

---

[20:40] *** A machine guides a mind controlled jenn back to her cell, deactiving the field..and then pushes her in..before restoring the field
[20:41] *** the mind control neckpiece switches off
[20:41] <Minerva> hey..welcome back....
[20:44] *** the machine moves away
[20:44] * Jenn leans against the back wall of her cell, gasping a little after the control is released...
[20:45] <Jenn> ...This...cannot go on...
[20:45] <Minerva> you must be popular...they keep using you
[20:45] * Minerva glances towards Maia, who is sitting calmly in her cell across from them
[20:45] <Minerva> ..Jenn..can you still hear me...
[20:45] * Minerva presses against the connecting wall
[20:46] <Jenn> I can hear you, Mnerva.
[20:47] <Minerva> ....I don't trust Maia...I think she's hiding something
[20:47] <Jenn> ...what do you mean?
[20:47] * Jenn shakes her ehad, and starts whispering...
[20:48] <Jenn> ...what do you mean?
[20:48] <Minerva> ..I think she's hiding something...I think she knows more then she's telling
[20:52] <Jenn> How can you tell?
[20:53] <Minerva> it's just a feeling..eariler I wondered how we were brought back..and she went silent
[20:54] * Maia watches the two
[20:54] * Jenn pauses...then looks to her cell. "...Maia."
[20:55] <Maia> yes?
[20:58] * Maia just looks at them both with still and icey eyes
[20:59] <Maia> what is it, Jenn of Saturn.
[21:00] <Jenn> Do you know something about how we were able to be brought back?
[21:01] * Maia pauses
[21:01] <Minerva> ..Maia...
[21:01] *** a few of the other women seem to notice what's going on and looking from their cells towards them...
[21:02] <Maia> they most likely utelized the Soul Crystals I had created.
[21:02] <Minerva> oh I se-WHAT
[21:04] <Maia> obviously.
[21:06] <Jenn> SOUL Crystals?! What soul crystals?!
[21:07] * Trenton hears this and looks over as well...
[21:07] <Maia> the Soul Crystals i had created based off our essances.
[21:07] <Minerva> ..essances..what do you mean our essences!?
[21:08] <Maia> it is quite simple.
[21:08] <Maia> your personal substances suspended within a lunarian liquid formula.
[21:08] <Keith> She means our DNA...
[21:09] <Maia> protected by crystaline shelling based off your own Saturanian Crystal technology.
[21:09] <Maia> not simply your DNA. Copies of your very beings.
[21:09] <Jenn> Lunarian liquids...crystal technology...DNA...copies...MAIA, what have you done?!
[21:10] <Maia> I have created a means of our survival in case of diaster.
[21:10] <Maia> quite effective.
[21:10] <Minerva> are you telling me you just grabbed...who we were without our say so!?
[21:11] <Maia> not every experiment requires the permission of the subject.
[21:11] <Jenn> And you stole not only our..."essences", but also crystal technology and bio-tech?!
[21:11] <Maia> I am certain now that they were able to find a constructor to allow it to generate new bodies for ourselves. Perhaps they were printed and in doing so, our spirits were read and placed inside.
[21:12] <Maia> I simply utilized the most effective technology avalible.
[21:12] <Minerva> wait....what about our children...
[21:12] <Maia> I was certain that the children were strong enough to survive themselves.
[21:12] <Maia> if not.
[21:13] <Jenn> What RIGHT did you have to make such a choice for all of us?! WE had heirs! Heiresses! Our time was inevitable, but our legacies were to be passed on!
[21:13] <Maia> children can always be made easily enough.
[21:13] <Minerva> by the Six...
[21:13] * Jenn looks shocked at the statement...and she can hear Elizabeth softly crying...
[21:14] * There is a sudden loud CLANG!
[21:14] <Maia> I am impressed that the crystals themselves survived the destruction.
[21:14] * Maia glances over
[21:15] * Trenton has PUNCHED the side of his cell...in the direction of Maia's. She can see he is already enraged!
[21:15] <Maia> must you do that
[21:15] <Trenton> - HOW...DARE...YOU! -
[21:17] <Maia> I simply saved your lives. I do not understand your anger.
[21:18] <Maia> I shall admit I did not expect it to be utalized in this manner but it has proven to work as a system.
[21:18] <Jenn> WE didn't NEED to be saved! You played God against us! ALL of us!
[21:18] * Minerva is FUMING
[21:18] <Minerva> We're in this situation thanks to you!!!
[21:18] <Trenton> - I'LL BURN OUT YOUR EYES, YOU MERCURITE WITCH! -
[21:19] <Maia> Jenn of Saturn, will you please control your brother.
[21:20] * Jenn just glares at Maia. "You dug your own grave after what you said. I have nothing to say to stave off his rage."
[21:20] <Keith> You had no right to do what you did, Maia! And to devalue everyone's children like that...
[21:21] <Maia> then stop wasting your energy, Trenton of Titan.
[21:22] <Trenton> - If I have to rip through these walls to end you, I WILL! -
[21:24] <Maia> and what will that prove.
[21:24] <Jenn> Maia...this is unforgivable...because of you, we have all been enslaved for...whatever means this captor of our has. Have you no sense of shame or humility for any of this?
[21:25] <Maia> what has happened has happened. I cannot change these events.
[21:25] <Minerva> ok I'm going to kill her
[21:25] <Jenn> DO YOU FEEL NOTHING AT ALL?!
[21:27] <Maia> it's called control.
[21:27] * Jenn finally snaps, and grabs at her collar, pulling furiously with all her strength!
[21:28] * the coller suddenly turns red hot!
[21:28] <Keith> Jenn! STOP!
[21:30] * Jenn is struggling against the red hot collar, but still continues pulling enraged! "MAIA!....YOU HEARTLESS...."
[21:31] <Minerva> whoa whoa whoa, jenn!
[21:32] *** the Control Necklace suddenly switches on
[21:33] * Jenn stops as the control takes over, causing her to collapse in the dream-like trance...
[21:33] <Keith> ...no...not again...
[21:34] * Trenton finally manages to calm down as Elizabeth pleads with his through her tears.
[21:34] <Minerva> Maia..I swear to the Six....
[21:34] * Maia is just looking at Jenn
[21:35] * Jenn is in the dream-like trance...staring off into space...and tears streaming down her cheeks.
[21:37] <Keith> ...do you know how much it hurts to see her like that?
[21:37] * Maia says nothing
[21:39] <Keith> We're all trapped. Seperated. Just waiting to be used for whatever the captor wants with us. What if he uses us to destroy everything you wanted to "save"?
[21:40] <Maia> then we stop them.
[21:40] * Minerva glares at Maia
[21:40] *** one of the machines glides into view
[21:41] *** the machine stops in front of Elizabeth's cell
[21:42] * Trenton can see she is terrified. "DON'T YOU TOUCH HER!"
[21:42] *** the cell opens and the machine grabs elizabeth
[21:43] * Trenton charges and slams against the energy field of his cell!
[21:43] <Minerva> ...we have to do something...
[21:44] *** the machine drags off elizabeth....
[21:44] <Trenton> NO! Take me instead! ELIZABETH!
[21:45] <Keith> Agreed...but what can we do?
[21:45] <Minerva> as long as we have these STUPID COLLERS ON....i don't know..unless you know how punch your way out of this!
[21:46] <Keith> I wish I had the strength...
[21:47] * Trenton is repelled from the energy field several times until he is exhausted. He snarls and looks down to Maia's cell. "Know this, Maia of Mercury...you have made yourself an enemy of the Sol today. Do not think you are going to get away with this tretchery against all the kingdoms. I will see you burn in this life, and the next, for all eternity!"
[21:48] <Maia> stop wasting your breath.
[21:50] * Keith sighs. "You're just going to make him angrier if you respond like that."
[21:52] <Trenton> WHY are YOU even here, weakling?
[21:53] <Maia> there is no point in wasting valuble energy on petty feuds.
[21:53] <Keith> ...I don't know. Maybe keeping me here ensures Jenn won't go on a rampage and turn aagainst our captor at the first opportunity?
[21:55] <Trenton> Petty?! PETTY?! Woman, you have no sense of depth for all you have done wrong!
[21:56] <Maia> I did nothing. I am not at fault for the absuse of my creations.
[21:56] <Keith> But you are at fault for making all this! You gave this enemy the means to do all this!
[21:58] <Maia> so you would prefer death I take it.
[22:00] <Keith> As Jenn had said...our time was inevitable. We are not meant to go on forever. The next generation was to carry on the legacy of the kingdoms. Yes...death was the end of our reigns, and that is where we belong.
[22:03] * Maia goes silent, looking back at Jenn
[22:04] * Keith sighs, and looks back at his comatose wife. Putting his hand against the stinging energy field briefly...wishing he could comfort her at this time.
[22:09] * Maia simply stares at Jenn's coller..
[22:09] <Maia> [SPOILER] looks at the small hairline crack in her coller now...

---

[19:04] *** meanwhile...
[19:05] * Minerva flies backwards as she attempts to slam herself against the force field for the fifth time.....
[19:10] <Minerva> DAMMIT
[19:10] * Minerva struggles to get up but she's smoking from the negative charge of plasma that hit her
[19:12] <Maya> you are wasting your time...
[19:12] <Minerva> SHUT UP
[19:12] <Minerva> it's all your fault we're in this mess....
[19:13] <Veruka> she's not wrong, Maya....if you hadn't created those crystals, then this would not be happening
[19:13] <Maya> as you have said for the seventy third time within the past two days
[19:14] <@spiritflame> ATTENTION: Nike is already registered. Check your password or enter a new name.
[19:15] <Lady Nike> but it is indeed true..that such attempts are wasting time...
[19:15] <Minerva> oh you would side with her...
[19:16] <Thetis> if we could but remove these collers......
[19:17] <Lady Nike> we have tried, they repeal our attempts...
[19:20] * Maya looks over towards Jenn
[19:37] <Maia> ^
[19:42] <Jenn> ...what do you want, Maia...
[19:42] <Jenn> Stop staring at me.
[19:43] <Maia> perhaps it is prudent that you remove the device from your neck.
[19:44] <Jenn> What are you talking about? None of us have been able to remove these collars. They put us into a trance when we do...
[19:45] <Minerva> exactly! the moment we try anything these things control us!
[19:45] <Maia> yes but most of ours do not possess a hairline crack
[19:45] <Jenn> ...what was that?
[19:47] <Keith> Did she say...a crack?
[19:47] <Maia> your coller has been partially damaged, most likely when you attempted to tear it apart the last time
[19:48] <Trenton> And our captor hasn't noticed? We should act fast...
[19:49] <Maia> it is most likely because it is slight enough not to set off any of the sensors
[19:49] * Jenn thinks for a moment, then looks at all the other cells in range: "Someone, QUICK! Make me angry!"
[19:51] * the others loo at each other for a moment..as if they can't belive what she's saying...
[19:51] <Jenn> You guys want a chance to get out of here? Do it!
[19:51] <Lady Nike> um..well...you are short!
[19:52] <Minerva> ...by the Six, you're awful at this, Nike...
[19:52] <Jenn> Keep trying!
[19:52] <Trenton> Anything I say won't work. She's immune to my tongue.
[19:53] <Thetis> *ahem*
[19:53] * Thetis clears her throat
[19:53] <Thetis> ...you are an ill bred human loving lout. You were never one of us and brought nothing but misfortune upon us, you and your spawn...
[19:54] <Keith> ...ouch?
[19:54] * Jenn 's eye twitches...
[19:54] <Thetis> ...I am glad my daughter killed your child...it made the universe a better place
[19:55] * the other queens look..rather stunned
[19:55] <Trenton> ....
[19:56] * Jenn 's eyes suddenly go red! She again grasps at the collar around her neck, screaming with rage and pulling with all her strength!
[19:57] *** the coller tries to heat up, beeping...before it cracks..and then SHATTERS
[19:58] *** the moment it shatters, Jenn can probably feel all her supressed powers returning to her
[19:58] * Jenn feels the relief the moment the collar shatters...she feels her full strength returning to her. She pauses a moment, looking up and across at her husband's cell...
[19:59] * Keith just nods to her. "Go wild, hon!"
[20:00] * Jenn stands upright and unleashes a sudden shockwave of energy, twisting the walls of the cell, and causing the fields to fail!
[20:00] *** the cell BREAKS open
[20:01] *** the mind control collers on the others suddenly activate............
[20:02] * The other queens turn towards Jenn...
[20:04] * Jenn steps out of her cell, and quickly springs into action as the others start to come out of their cells, grabbing each collar as quickly as she can to crush their controlling mechanism with her energy shielded hands
[20:05] * One by one she manages to free them, even as they attack her!
[20:06] * Trenton is freed, and snaps out of the control. He then assists by first freeing his wife, and then assists witht he remaining queens before his sister is overwhelmed!
[20:07] * Minerva and Veruka try to attack Jenn!
[20:08] * Jenn grabs Minerva. "Sorry dear..." and throws her into Veruka!
[20:09] * Minerva is thrown into Veruka...sending both into the energy field and shocking them both O_O
[20:09] * Jenn jumps on this and breaks both their collars!
[20:11] * Trenton is holding Maia by the throat. His eyes glaring with burning hatred. "Should I just end her now?"
[20:11] <Jenn> ...leave her be. She will answer for what she has done later. We still have much to do here!
[20:12] <Maia> I suggest we move before
[20:12] *** the lights in the room turn red
[20:13] * Jenn goes to Keith's cell. He's still trapped inside.
[20:14] <Keith> Looks like our host is aware of his freed captives.
[20:14] * Jenn grabs the controls on the wall and rips them out, shutting down the field on her husband's cell
[20:15] <Minerva> ugh my head
[20:15] * Jenn snaps off his collar with ease.
[20:15] * Minerva is helped up by veruka
[20:15] *** the far door opens....as several large machines appear
[20:16] * Trenton cracks his knuckles... "Oh...THIS is going to be fun!"
[20:18] * Jenn just looks down the corridor...raises her hand, and shoots a powerful Silence energy blast at the machines!
[20:18] <Lady Nike> it does seem they're in our way.....
[20:18] *** several of the machines are COMPLETELY destroyed..but more show up!
[20:19] <Maia> I belive it would be prudent...I belive the term is...
[20:19] <Maia> ...to take them down
[20:19] <Trenton> ...don't take all the fun for yourself. Time for the rest of us to raise hell!
[20:20] * Jenn looks to her husband. "Stay close to me...everyone else...don't hold back!"
[20:20] * Trenton summons his fire blade and attacks the machines!
[20:21] * Maia does a flick of her wrist...and immense ice spikes instantly shoot up under several of the machiens!
[20:23] * Lady Nike focuses herself...and her entire body is suddenly transformed into a holy flame...before blasting through several of the machines
[20:25] <Thetis> such annoyances....
[20:27] * Thetis turns her finger..causing a thin ribbion of water to slice apart several of the machines
[20:27] <Minerva> JENN! DUCK!
[20:30] * Minerva lifts a machine over her head and THROWS it into several other machines
[20:30] * Jenn simply shields herself and Keith with a Silence wall around them
[20:31] * Trenton and Elizabeth are cutting down machings with their swords!
[20:32] <Jenn> Everyone! We need to get moving!
[20:34] <Jenn> Maia, there are others missing from here...where could they be held?
[20:35] <Maia> my mind is in disarry..but there is one place
[20:36] <Jenn> Where? We can't risk leaving anyone from our generation or families behind.
[20:38] <Maia> I shall show you
[20:38] *** a thick metal door SLAMS down in front of them
[20:39] <Veruka> ...I will take care of this
[20:39] * Veruka walks towards the door....and straches her hand, before closing it as energy gathers inside her closed fist
[20:40] * Veruka opens her hand again, showing a small glowing orb..and SLAMS it into the steel door
[20:40] *** the door trembles..then collapses into a singularity, before vanishing
[20:40] <Maia> come
[20:40] <Jenn> Nicely done.
[20:41] * Jenn and the others follow Maia. Jenn coveres their escape by blocking the way with a wall of energy.
[20:48] * Maia starts to move through the hallways, freezing several robots along the way
[20:48] <Minerva> feels good..to finally think
[20:51] <Trenton> I think it just feels good to fight once again.
[20:51] <Keith> I am more worried about what all of you were being used for...
[20:53] <Minerva> I don't remember anything..just..fog
[20:53] * Maia stops in front of a large door..
[20:53] <Maia> here
[20:54] <Jenn> You believe they are in here?
[20:55] <Jenn> Veruka? If you will...
[20:57] * Veruka performs her Spacial Singuarity attack....
[20:58] *** the door is torn away......
[20:58] <Jenn> Thank you.
[20:58] *** the room inside is dark..half hidden in light and red light..there's something in the center of the room
[20:58] * Jenn steps into the room, and produces a ball of energy in her hand to fully light the room...
[21:00] <Keith> What is this place?
[21:00] * Minerva SCREAMS in horror!
[21:01] <Trenton> By the Spirits...
[21:02] *** in the center of the room, two figures sit back to back, their bodies bound to the chairs....a helmet has been placed over their heads with wires running from the helmets to a large machine up above.........
[21:02] *** the two are obviously Siegfred and Roland...
[21:03] <Jenn> ...We need to get them free of this...thing. Maia, how do we get them out of it?
[21:04] <Veruka> roland!!!!
[21:04] <Maia> carefully.
[21:04] <Maia> if the helmets are not removed properly...it could kill them
[21:05] * Minerva tries to rush towards the helmet!!!!
[21:05] <Minerva> *her husband
[21:05] <Jenn> MINERVA!
[21:05] * Jenn puts a silence dome around the two men!
[21:08] * Minerva is thrown back
[21:08] <Minerva> WHY DID YOU DO THAT!?
[21:08] <Maia> so you would stop being an idiot
[21:08] <Jenn> Calm yourself! We don't want them harmed! We have to do this carefully...
[21:08] <Keith> So how do we remove them, Maia? Is there a specific procedure?
[21:11] <Maia> ..let me do it
[21:12] * Jenn lowers the dome and pulls Minerva back
[21:14] <Veruka> after what you did to us!? how can we trust you!?
[21:14] <Maia> do you have a better suggestion?
[21:15] <Keith> She knows this machinery best.
[21:15] <Trenton> Also...if she hurts them...she knows there's no getting past any of us.
[21:16] * Maia walks carefully...and starts to carefully move the wires out, while moving some circuts around...
[21:18] * Minerva is sweating......
[21:21] * Maia removes the final wires.......and both men slump forward as the system shuts down
[21:23] * Keith helps catch one of them before they fall to the floor!
[21:23] * Trenton steadies Sigfried
[21:23] * Minerva runs over to Sigfried
[21:25] <Minerva> Sigfried? Siggy???
[21:25] * Sigfried slowly looks up..and smiles wearly....
[21:25] <Sigfried> heh..you look awful, minerva...
[21:25] * Minerva sniffles and smiles
[21:26] * Jenn walks over and places her hands on the brothers, and helps to give them some regenerating energies
[21:27] <Minerva> you should talk....you look absolutly terrible....
[21:27] * Siegfried and Roland both start to look better as their wives help them to their feet
[21:29] * Trenton moves to the door and keeps lookout. "We shouldn't idle here for too long..."
[21:30] *** there's the sudden sound of laser bolts!
[21:31] <Minerva> you and your mouth!
[21:32] * Maia is working on something in the background at the keyboards
[21:32] <Maia> so primative.....not a aura pad to be seen...
[21:35] <Jenn> Maia, what are you up to?
[21:35] <Maia> there.
[21:39] <Maia> we have approxomitly ten terran minutes to exit this location
[21:39] <Maia> or there abouts
[21:40] *** the entire room turns red as an alarm begins to go off
[21:40] *** a counter appears in the corner of the screen!
[21:40] <Minerva> ...by the six what did you do?
[21:41] <Jenn> How do we even get out of here...and where IS here?
[21:45] <Keith> Yeah, where are we exactly?
[21:47] <Maia> i do not know.
[21:49] <Jenn> IS this NOT your facility?
[21:50] <Keith> Let's figure this out later...is there someplace with a ship or something we can escape in?
[21:51] <Maia> no it is not
[21:51] <Maia> I suggest we leave as soon as possible
[21:52] <Minerva> then what are we waiting for!?
[21:53] <Trenton> Where do we even go?! Can you women even do that "Sailor Teleport" nonsense those kids did?
[21:56] <Minerva> are you kidding me!?
[21:56] <Maia> perhaps we should consult the map...
[21:56] <Lady Nike> ...you are simply trying to make up for your eariler actions, are you not
[21:58] <Jenn> What map?
[21:59] * Maia points out to the one on the screen she brought up...it has a map to an exit...
[22:01] <Jenn> ....so many twists and turns to get out....
[22:02] * Jenn looks around the room... "Let's see....north...versus east..."
[22:02] * Jenn walks over to a wall, raises her hand...and energies start to gather at her palm....
[22:02] <Thetis> should we not..GET GOING!?
[22:02] <Keith> ...everyone, take cover! She's going to open a path!
[22:06] * Trenton grabs his wife, and ducks behind some equipment!
[22:06] * Keith finds some hard cover!
[22:07] * Thetis is pulled back, the others hiding!
[22:07] * Jenn charges up a powerful beam at the palm of her hand, ripping through the walls and anything in its path, and boring a way straight out of the facility! The force of it pushed her back several feet until her power was exhausted.
[22:09] * Keith comes out to catch Jenn before she collapses.
[22:10] <Trenton> We have a way out, GO!
[22:10] <Minerva> good job, jenn!
[22:11] * Keith carries his wife through the opened path!
[22:11] * Trenton follows close behind!
[22:12] *** the alarms get louder and louder!
[22:13] * Minerva and Veruka both lead their husbands through, the other queens running after!
[22:15] * Keith makes it to the opening to the outside!
[22:16] <Minerva> I see light!
[22:16] *** there's light on the other end of the tunnel!!!!
[22:18] * Keith holds Jenn close, as they rush into the light!
[22:21] *** as they make it out...there is a HUGE explosion behind them as the base erupts....
[22:21] * Jenn , Keith, Trenton and Elizabeth are flung away from the blast!
[22:24] * Minerva , Sigfried, Veruka, Roland, Thetis and the others are thrown to the ground
[22:26] <Jenn> Ugh...is...everyone alright?
[22:27] <Minerva> ugh fine
[22:27] <Thetis> my hair is a mess!!!!!
[22:28] <Veruka> she's fine too
[22:28] <Keith> Still alive.
[22:28] <Trenton> We're still here too.
[22:29] * Keith helps Jenn to her feet.
[22:30] <Minerva> question is....
[22:30] <Minerva> ...where are we
[22:31] *** it's evening....and the group is on the edge of what seems to be a forest....and in the distance......are the lights of a large city....
[22:31] <Trenton> ...at least we're not stranded on a space rock...
[22:31] <Keith> Are we...on Earth?
[22:33] <Maia> I belive so.
[22:34] <Jenn> Earth? So...our captor brought Maia's pilfered soul stealing technology, and our essences to Earth?
[22:35] <Trenton> Something is very wrong here...
[22:35] <Minerva> what do you mean?
[22:37] <Trenton> Bringing all this and us to Earth? We don't even know WHO brought us back to life, or what they were using us for...but aparently we were used for something here on Earth.
[22:38] <Jenn> Do you think...our children are in danger?
[22:38] <Minerva> if they are......then whoever is threatening them will pay!
[22:39] <Keith> Well, we better head for the city. Since we're alive again, we're going to need to get shelter, food...and...some decent clothes.
[22:40] <Trenton> ...I guess I'll have to obtain some currency.
[22:40] <Jenn> And how will YOU do that, exactly?
[22:41] <Trenton> I could probably track down and rob some shady indivisuals...shouldn't be hard to find those types among the humans...
[22:42] <Keith> You're going to need to stifle that prejudice while we are here. Can't let the people know you're all...aliens.
[22:43] <Thetis> do not worry!
[22:43] <Thetis> I know exactly how to speak to the lower classes!
[22:43] <Thetis> soon they will gladly give us wares!
[22:43] <Keith> Uhh...you haven't been observing this modern world very much, have you?
[22:45] <Jenn> Okay…we need to approach the humans tactfully, and NOT look like a bunch of off-world weirdos…I'd have to say Keith should be in charge at this point.
[22:46] <Trenton> ...you seriously want HIM in charge of all this?
[22:46] <Keith> Well, I AM the HUMAN in the group...
[22:47] <Trenton> You're a dead human from over a thousand years ago...
[22:47] <Keith> I've been keeping track of things, like the rest of you, while on the other side...I think I can handle this.
[22:48] <Maia> it seems it is late..and we are in the middle of wilderness....I hear the sound of several life forms nearby..and I belive they are carnvious
[22:48] <Jenn> Anyway...let's get moving towrd the city then...
[22:49] <Trenton> Hmm...could hunt and cook those predators...
[22:49] <Jenn> MOVE IT
[22:50] * Trenton is tugged along by Elizabeth.
[22:51] * Jenn and Keith start heading toward the lilghts of the city
[22:54] * Minerva and the others follow towards the city
[22:54] *** Keith has left #suburbansenshi3 (You sure I should be in charge?)
[22:55] *** Jenn has left #suburbansenshi3 (Yes, you will do fine)
[22:55] *** Trenton has left #suburbansenshi3 (I don't like this...)
[22:58] *** Minerva has left #suburbansenshi3 (now what)

---

[12:45] *** Meanwhile in Nerima City...
[12:46] * Maia walks the streets, looking at a piece of paper
[12:46] <Maia> ....
[12:47] * Maia ignores passerbys as she makes her way along the road
[12:49] * Maia stops in front of a VERY large building...almost looking like a hotel or apartment
[12:49] <Maia> .....
[12:51] *** the building itself looks like it's seen better days.....
[12:52] * Maia enters the building...

---

[14:06] * Lady Nike exits the building with Maia
[14:06] <Lady Nike> ...it is quite ambitious...is it possible...
[14:06] <Maia> of course it is.
[14:07] <Maia> it mearly requires the utalization of combinded technology and talents
[14:08] <Lady Nike> do you belive the others will agree to this..plan
[14:08] <Maia> eventually they shall.
[14:10] <Lady Nike> .......you do not plan to manipulate them once again...do you
[14:10] <Lady Nike> they are still sore for what you did
[14:10] <Maia> I have no intention...
[14:10] <Maia> but we are desperate
[14:11] <Maia> and there are some who are far more eager then others
[14:11] <Lady Nike> you refer to Thetis
[14:12] <Maia> indeed.
[14:15] <Lady Nike> so what is your next move
[14:15] * Maia looks to Nike
[14:17] <Maia> simple.
[14:17] <Maia> I belive the term is...
[14:17] <Maia> interior decoration.

[20:46] *** after a rather advetnurious trip....you are now at The Moon...
[20:47] *** Capt. David O`Cain [JRPMoonSolider@MKArmyRanger.mil] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[20:47] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Capt. David O`Cain
[20:47] *** Megan O`Cain has joined #suburbansenshi3
[20:47] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Megan O`Cain
[20:48] *** Nelius Raoul [Overlord.Shura.CreativeChaos@Rasetsu.Coalition.nw] has joined #suburbansenshi3
[20:48] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Nelius Raoul
[20:48] * Nelius Raoul appears with Thirza, Hale and Flynn. (All right, let's find these guys and take 'em down.)
[20:49] <Thrash> ♦ hello? can you hear me?
[20:52] <Thrash> ♦ hello?
[20:53] <Megan O`Cain> ♦ Loud and clear.
[20:56] <Thrash> ♦ alright..so you're near what humans call the Mare Crisium......
[20:56] <Thrash> ♦ the power source I've been detecting is not far away
[20:58] <Megan O`Cain> ♦ Which direction?
[20:58] <Thrash> ♦ due North
[21:00] * Megan O`Cain and David both go Northward
[21:00] <Megan O`Cain> This way, guys.
[21:01] * Nelius Raoul and his group follow. As they follow, Nelius and Flynn look around for anything out of the ordinary.
[21:02] *** you're on the moon..it's absolutly desolate..and yet, raoul...you probably have a feeling of being watched
[21:04] <Nelius Raoul> (No doubt our enemy. They must have some reason for turning everything to sand with that tech.)
[21:06] *** as you make your way along....you also can see vast amounts of stars in the dark sky above you
[21:08] <Megan O`Cain> (No time to admire the view. Yet I miss it.)
[21:09] * Megan O`Cain and David continue their way towards the source of the attacks
[21:10] <Thrash> ♦ anything unusual yet?
[21:12] <Thrash> ♦ you should be approuching the power source soon
[21:14] <Megan O`Cain> ♦ Nothing yet other seeing a LOT of stars.
[21:14] <Thrash> ♦ .....but you shouldn't
[21:14] <Thrash> ♦ you can't see the stars from the moon
[21:16] <Nelius Raoul> ...normally we shouldn't be able to see the stars from up here, due to the lack of atmosphere to scatter the light.
[21:17] *** now that you look at them...they aren't stars....they're BILLIONS of probe like objects..hanging above you
[21:18] <Megan O`Cain> The hell...are those?
[21:18] <Capt. David O`Cain> Whaaaa?
[21:20] <Thirza> ....those ain't stars. They look like probes.... our enemy's been busy.
[21:20] *** as you move...you can now see into one of the large craters.....and a VERY large dome
[21:22] <Capt. David O`Cain> ♦ Spotting a dome right now.
[21:25] <Thrash> ♦ that seems to be the source of the power...juZZZT bZZZZT caZZZTrZZfZZZT
[21:28] *** Thrash has left #suburbansenshi3 (cuts out)
[21:32] *** Thrash ihas been cut off..you're on your own
[21:35] <Capt. David O`Cain> Thrash? Thrash! Just what?
[21:35] <Thirza> ....looks like we're on our own from here.
[21:35] <Megan O`Cain> S[BLEEP]t. Comms got cut.
[21:36] *** you can get a better look at the dome.....it's glowing white...and is completely smooth...
[21:36] <Flynn> Perhaps that is the source of the interference.
[21:39] *** the door to the dome suddenly slides open
[21:40] *** a path towards the dome lights up
[21:41] <Megan O`Cain> Possibly. And looks like we're being allowed inside?
[21:42] <Nelius Raoul> Must be pretty confident if they're willingly letting us in. Be ready for anything.
[21:45] *** the dome awaits
[21:45] * Megan O`Cain nods, and she and David both head towards the entrance
[21:46] * Nelius Raoul leads his group over towards the dome.
[21:48] *** you can see from inside the dome door very bright lights..the interior is blindenly white apperently
[21:49] * Megan O`Cain and David darken their visors to cut down as much of the light as they can like sunglasses
[21:51] <Nelius Raoul> (Someone's either afraid of the dark or they really like piling on the symbolism.)
[21:53] *** as you enter..the door closes behind you....the interior is all crystal and glass.....glowing circuts travel along the walls..
[21:55] * Megan O`Cain and David look around at their new surroundings
[21:56] *** you see large monitors on the walls recording you...you also see some of the same probes you saw in the sky....
[21:58] *** another door opens
[22:00] <-> ♦ come in, please
[22:00] * Megan O`Cain turns to the group, "Be ready just in case."
[22:01] <Capt. David O`Cain> Of course.
[22:01] * Capt. David O`Cain and Megan head through the door
[22:01] * Nelius Raoul and his group enter.
[22:02] *** as you enter the room....you find a vast large circular space...not far is a large platform..and an individual sitting in a chair
[22:04] *** the individual turns around...revealing a man, with black hair with silver highlights...his eyes have an eerie blue glow to them and he has a slight scar on his face...he smiles
[22:05] * - is now known as Turms
[22:05] <Turms> welcome
[22:05] <Turms> we finally meet at last
[22:05] <Turms> you are as resorceful as you seem
[22:06] <Capt. David O`Cain> Um, you are who, exactly?
[22:06] <Turms> we are..I mean..i am Turms
[22:07] <Turms> this body...is not my body
[22:07] <Turms> I am..in use of it as it were
[22:08] <Capt. David O`Cain> You possessed somebody.
[22:09] <Turms> my natural state is far more complex then it seems but..after the destruction of my world in the..short war...I found myself bound to this form
[22:09] <Nelius Raoul> ("We", eh? Probably a gestalt entity.)
[22:10] <Turms> I am certain you have come due to the destruction of your base..as well as the ship
[22:10] <Turms> an unfortunate nessicity in order to test the capacity of the weapon
[22:11] <Capt. David O`Cain> So, you stole all that tech. What for?
[22:12] <Turms> you see...I bear no ill will towards you
[22:12] * Turms walks over and picks up a small "Soul Crystal" "in fact..what I am doing...will bring glory back to this system"
[22:13] * Turms tosses the Soul Crystal towards david
[22:14] <Nelius Raoul> (....right, by leveling an entire city you bear no malice. Totally checks out.)
[22:14] * Capt. David O`Cain catches the crystal
[22:14] <Turms> you see....
[22:14] <Capt. David O`Cain> The hell is this?
[22:14] <Turms> we thought ourselves survivors
[22:15] <Turms> that I belive is the Queen of Europa
[22:15] <Turms> ..we thought ourselves survivors
[22:15] <Turms> we were to create a new glorious future for our people...a shiny empire to inherate and surpass our ancestors
[22:16] <Lady Hale> ....now I see. These "Soul Crystals" are how you revived the old Silver Millennium Royalty.
[22:16] * Capt. David O`Cain and Megan both look at Hale, and in unison, "WHAT!?"
[22:17] <Turms> and we had prepared to share our glory with everyone...We...I...I was like the rest of my people of the Iceworld....trained in the sciences..preparing wonders beyond all imagining...
[22:17] <Turms> ..little did I know the cruel truth....
[22:19] <Turms> our ancestors..were not survivors...
[22:19] <Turms> they were speciems...
[22:20] <Turms> I discovered in the archives of my world..the truth....
[22:21] <Turms> our escape was not of our own making....the technology that allowed us to survive...was placed in our hands...merely to see what we would do...
[22:21] <Turms> we were slaves to the whims of a cruel woman!
[22:21] <Thirza> So what is your scheme, then?
[22:22] <Turms> ..no scheme
[22:22] <Turms> you misunderstand me...
[22:22] <Turms> I will not destroy Earth
[22:22] <Turms> far from it
[22:22] <Turms> I will place it above all other worlds
[22:24] <Turms> after the death of our empire and my...trapped state....
[22:25] <Turms> i knew...I had to resurrect our glory once again
[22:25] <Flynn> ...and that necessitated turning things into sand with that nano-tech?
[22:26] <Capt. David O`Cain> By...by using these? (holds up the Soul Crystal)
[22:26] <Turms> I had to test how well they worked
[22:27] <Turms> first....my own personal...revenge?
[22:28] <Nelius Raoul> Then explain these.
[22:28] <Turms> ..I discovered the Soul Crystals...the humans discovered them on one of their Moon Landings and placed them in a museum...they thought them mere baubles
[22:28] <Turms> and using what the humans termed synthoid technlogy...mixed with the mercurian technlogy I had pioneered...I created my..slaves
[22:29] <Turms> ..though alas..they have escaped
[22:29] <Turms> but they are no further use of me
[22:29] <Turms> but they gave me what I wanted....
[22:30] * Turms walks over to the a canister filled with a multicolored shimmering goo
[22:30] <Turms> ...the doomsday weapon....
[22:30] <Turms> Mercury's Moonlight Butterfly
[22:30] <Turms> ..once this is activated...it will reduce all technology to dust
[22:32] <Nelius Raoul> ....and how does this elevate Earth above all else?
[22:32] * Turms looks to Raoul
[22:32] <Turms> ..because
[22:32] <Turms> ....only Earth will be unaffected
[22:35] <Turms> it will become the new center for a glorious empire once more!
[22:35] <Megan O`Cain> And you honestly think it will work?
[22:36] <Turms> of course it will work...
[22:37] <Turms> even if their ships try to fire on the probes..it will release their payload
[22:37] <Turms> think of it...the Earth will have no equal.....
[22:37] <Turms> you will be seen as gods to the rest of the galaxy!
[22:37] <Thirza> ...you do realize that most of the other worlds haven't even got any technology for that thing to affect, right? Earth has been pretty much on its own for the last 10,000 or so years.
[22:39] <Turms> you do not understand
[22:39] <Turms> it affects.. ALL TECHNOLOGY
[22:40] * Turms turns..looking out the window...the massive amount of probes floating in the sky
[22:40] <Megan O`Cain> So it doesn't matter whether it's Moon Kingdom or Earth tech.
[22:41] * Turms looks a little bemused
[22:41] <Turms> you seem to forget I am not targetting the Earth
[22:42] * Turms turns to the controls
[22:42] <Nelius Raoul> So you're willing to kneecap everything else in the galaxy just to leave Earth as the sole galactic power. What a farce.
[22:42] <Megan O`Cain> Yet you destroyed various sattellites orbiting the planet.
[22:44] <Thrash> ♦ *whispers* can you hear me?
[22:45] <Megan O`Cain> ♦ (whispering) Clearly.
[22:45] <Turms> as I stated..I required testing
[22:46] <Thrash> ♦ good...Raoul, Megan...I need you to distract him.....David...I'm having Burroughs transfer some data to your earpiece....do you think you can connect it to the main dispersial console?
[22:47] <Capt. David O`Cain> ♦ (whispering) I'll do what I can, man.
[22:49] <Turms> now..I simply have to begin the launch...
[22:49] *** David can probably hear a ding noise...as data is transferred to his ear piece
[22:50] * Turms heads towards the direction of the dispersial console...
[22:51] * Megan O`Cain aims her cannon at Turms, "I will not let you turn that on any more Moon Kingdom tech."
[22:53] * Turms turns, looking to Megan
[22:54] <Turms> ...my dear woman *smiles*
[22:54] <Turms> I have no intention on endangering your technology
[22:54] * Turms walks over to Megan
[22:55] * Megan O`Cain keeps the cannon trained on Turms as David subtly inches towards the console
[22:55] <Turms> what i am doing is for the sake of all of you
[22:55] * Turms looks to Raoul "even you....imagine...you would never have to fight again...you would be free to persue what you wish.."
[22:56] <Megan O`Cain> And have the rest of the universe seeking revenge upon us? No thanks.
[22:56] * Turms laughs cheerfully "and what could they do after this..."
[22:57] * Nelius Raoul quickly raises a hand, and forms a Giga Star spell. "You really are a fool. Technology is far from the only galactic power out there."
[22:58] <Megan O`Cain> I'm sure they can figure ways out.
[22:59] <Turms> that is why I am hoping you will join me
[22:59] <Turms> together we can make the universe a better place
[22:59] * Turms looks to megan
[22:59] <Turms> a return to the glory of the past...wouldn't you like that?
[23:00] <Thirza> Past glory.... what a laugh, if it weren't such a worthless notion.
[23:01] <Turms> yes...I understand..you are filled with doubt
[23:01] <Megan O`Cain> I don't know. I kinda like the way things are now. We can always rebuild without having to destroy other's technology.
[23:02] <Lady Hale> That is the problem with donning the "rose-tinted glasses" --- all the red flags you should be seeing end up looking like mere flags.
[23:02] * Capt. David O`Cain quietly reaches the console, and begins to transfer data/commands
[23:03] <Thrash> ♦ *whispers* after you get it connected....get back..the rest of you..i suggest you...allow him to get on with his work
[23:05] * Capt. David O`Cain subtly nods, and gets to work
[23:06] * Megan O`Cain looks at Hale, "Indeed."
[23:08] * Turms laughs " ah..well you will see soon enough"
[23:08] <Nelius Raoul> I got no problem giving humans that good nudge every now and again, but holding their damn hand and doing everything for them? It'd be no better than the s[BLEEP]t I've seen gods and other higher powers pull off.
[23:09] <Megan O`Cain> A fair point. Sometimes giving a hand up is better than a handout.
[23:09] *** David...a soft sound signals the transfer is complete
[23:10] * Capt. David O`Cain quietly makes his way back after getting his sign
[23:10] <Turms> you make me sad but yet...soon I'm sure you will see my point of view
[23:10] * Turms turns to head back towards the dispersion console...
[23:12] * Capt. David O`Cain faces Turms after rejoining
[23:13] <Capt. David O`Cain> ♦ (telepath to Megan) Job's done.
[23:13] <Megan O`Cain> ♦ (telepath to David) Good. Let's back off a bit.
[23:14] * Turms begins to work the console
[23:14] * Megan O`Cain and David waits and watches
[23:14] * Turms activates the machine.......
[23:15] <Turms> and now...witness the beginning...of the glorious future!
[23:15] *** the probes glow and then.............begin to open up......a soft rainbow like mist falling down...toward sthe dome!
[23:15] <Turms> wait..no...
[23:15] <Turms> no it's not suppose to...
[23:15] <Turms> it's not suppose to land here
[23:15] <Turms> IT'S NOT SUPPOSE TO LAND HERE
[23:16] <Thrash> ♦ I would suggest the rest of you exit this area immediatly...unless you wish to be caught in the effect
[23:17] <Nelius Raoul> (Way ahead of you!)
[23:17] * Nelius Raoul and his group begin to head for the exit!
[23:17] * Megan O`Cain and David quickly make for the exits
[23:18] * Turms desperatly tries to operate the machinery...even as the dome starts to dissolve around him
[23:18] <Turms> NO...NO PLEASE...PLEASE..NOT AGAIN...NOT..AGAIN
[23:18] * Turms coughs as the life support starts to fail....
[23:19] *** as you run for the exit..the dome is dissolving around you into sand....the exit is just ahead of you!
[23:19] <Megan O`Cain> GO FOR BROKE, GUYS!
[23:20] * Megan O`Cain and David quickly use their armor's dash jets to reach the exit
[23:20] * Nelius Raoul and his group accelerate to crazy speeds! Time to get out of here!
[23:21] * Turms weakly tries to reach the dissolving controls..as the tons of sand quickly bury him....
[23:21] *** as you finally leave....you can only watch as the dome turns into a massive pile of sand....the probes as well seem to have dissolved...
[23:22] <Megan O`Cain> We did it. We saved technology.
[23:23] * Capt. David O`Cain takes out the Soul Crystal, "Yeah. Guy was nuts anyway."
[23:23] <Nelius Raoul> Hm... still a few loose ends to tie up.
[23:23] <Nelius Raoul> For one, if he was using the Soul Crystals to enslave the Planetary Royals --- where are they now?
[23:24] <Capt. David O`Cain> Mhm. Like how these were made (looks at the Soul Crystal).
[23:25] <Lady Hale> He did mention something about them escaping. There's also another question --- was he acting alone, or did he have help? He did state "we" before immediately stating "I" in many of his declarations.
[23:26] <Capt. David O`Cain> That is true.
[23:26] <Flynn> With his base gone, we'll likely get no further clues up here. We'll have to check around Earth some more.
[23:27] <Megan O`Cain> Wherever the royalty are, hopefully we'll find out soon, and locate them.
[23:27] <Megan O`Cain> Anyway, shall we head back?
[23:28] <Thirza> Let's.
[23:29] *** Megan O`Cain has left #suburbansenshi3 (Then let's get going.)
[23:29] *** Capt. David O`Cain [JRPMoonSolider@MKArmyRanger.mil] has left #suburbansenshi3 (Hopefully, we'll get more answers.)
[23:31] *** Nelius Raoul [Overlord.Shura.CreativeChaos@Rasetsu.Coalition.nw] has left #suburbansenshi3 (*going to check with Zotia and Anesha before he heads to bed*)

[10:12] <Minerva> ..eh?

---

[18:47] * Minerva walks to the apartment building and walks in, climbing up the stairs and carefully opening up the door to the apartment
[18:47] <Minerva> hey I'm back
[18:48] * Thetis is crowded on a sofa with Veruka
[18:48] <Thetis> about time..it's your turn to cook you know
[18:48] <Minerva> I know I know!
[18:48] <Minerva> got held up at the bar a bit
[18:48] * Minerva scoots past the rest of the royals, all crowded together in the small living area
[18:48] <Minerva> Jenn and the others back yet?
[18:49] <Veruka> I think they're still out
[18:49] * Minerva climbs her way over to the stove in the room
[18:49] <Veruka> do you know what you're doing?
[18:49] <Minerva> honestly no...
[18:50] <Minerva> had freaking cooks to do this stuff in the past
[18:50] <Minerva> but I've gotta try, you know?
[18:50] * Siegfried and roland walk in...Roland goes to sit with his wife..inadveriatly pushing Thetis off the sofa
[18:50] * Thetis fumes
[18:50] * Siegfried manages to make his way over to his wife and gives her a kiss
[18:51] <Siegfried> ..just..don't burn the place down
[18:51] <Minerva> I can't promise that >_>
[18:51] * Maia is still busy on the computer
[18:56] * pauses to water the small plant life near the sill
[18:56] <Lady Nike> ^
[18:57] * Someone knocks on the door.
[18:59] <Lady Nike> it must be Jenn
[18:59] * Lady Nike walks over to the door...nearly tripping over Aphdrodiate
[19:00] * Lady Nike opens the door "welcome ho-"
[19:00] * Anesha and Zotia are standing there. "Greetings."
[19:01] * Lady Nike shuts the door in their faces
[19:01] <Anesha> ......wow. Talk about rude.
[19:01] <Lady Nike> strangers!
[19:01] <Thetis> what!?
[19:02] * Thetis struggles to get up but falls over, dragging both Veruka and Roland down!
[19:03] * Zotia can hear quite the commotion through the door. "........"
[19:03] * Thetis lands ontop of Roland
[19:03] <Veruka> Thetis! get off my husband!
[19:04] <Zotia> o_0;;
[19:04] <Anesha> >:3
[19:05] <Thetis> I'm trying!!!
[19:07] * Maia looks a tad put off
[19:07] * Maia turns carefully in her chair...and reaches her hand out....
[19:07] *** the Door suddenly becomes completely frozen over by a shimmering blue ice on the outside
[19:09] <Anesha> ....goodness. I get the feeling we're not wanted.
[19:09] <Zotia> And after all this legwork to find them after the explosion...
[19:10] <Zotia> Still, we know where they are.... but if only we had a better way to introduce ourselves.
[19:11] <Anesha> Like knowing how they were revived?
[19:12] * Thetis meanwhile has managed to right herself up..only to hit her head against Veruka and the two of them go down!
[19:18] <Anesha> ....guessing I'm going to have to use "that" again.
[19:19] * Anesha takes a deep breath, and begins to synchronize with the houseplant they have inside the room. Time to do some voice-throwing.
[19:21] <Anesha> ♦ Hello? Can you hear me?
[19:22] * Lady Nike jumps back!
[19:22] <Anesha> ♦ Apologies for the sudden call, but your friend kinda slammed the door on us.
[19:23] <Maia> ah....phytoclastic control
[19:23] <Maia> fascinating
[19:24] <Anesha> ♦ Anyway, to business.... my leafy friends all tell me you guys were the root cause (no pun intended) of making a base far out in the wilderness go up in a nice, big explosion.
[19:26] <Maia> who are you.
[19:26] * Maia takes the lead on this
[19:27] <Anesha> ♦ Someone who was asked to find you lot, given your rather unique circumstances of revival.
[19:29] <Lady Nike> we have no reason to trust you
[19:29] <Minerva> OH COME ON...GAH
[19:31] * Minerva is trying to put down a small fire
[19:32] <Anesha> ♦ I suppose I should get to the point. You are the Royals of the Silver Millennium, are you not?
[19:33] <Maia> again. you have no proof that we should trust someone like you
[19:34] <Anesha> ♦ Then what would suffice as proof? Showing we are associated with the current generation, like Matsumi, Megan Smithson and Sean Collins? Or would something else suffice?
[19:35] * Maia looks to the others.....none of them recongize those names
[19:35] * Minerva would but she's too busy to hear the conversation
[19:36] <Maia> why would we trust someone who would hunt us down
[19:36] <Anesha> ♦ Is Miss Minerva in there, by any chance? She and I did engage in conversation once before -- ask her if she remembers "Anesha".
[19:39] * Trenton yawns from his chair and stretches, waking up...
[19:41] <Maia> she is..occupied
[19:41] <Minerva> HOW DO YOU USE THIS THING
[19:42] * Minerva is struggling to operate a fire extigusher
[19:42] * Trenton looks around the room, still a little groggy....
[19:44] <Anesha> ♦ ....goodness. Take it things are not going well with her.
[19:44] <Trenton> ...what is all the noise...dang chaotic mess...
[19:44] * is sitting, listening to a..plant?...Minerva is trying put a growing fire out on the stove
[19:44] * Everyone is ^ ^
[19:44] * Trenton suddenly hears the plant talk and JUMOS UP! "THE F[BLEEP]K?! THE PLANT IS TALKING?!"
[19:45] * Trenton instictivly sets the plant on fire!
[19:45] <Anesha> ♦ ......wut
[19:46] <Maia> typical saturnian
[19:47] <Trenton> Shut it! I wake up from you lot making noise, and the PLANT WAS F[BLEEP]KING TALKING?! What the HELL were you all doing while I was asleep?!
[19:48] <Lady Nike> intruders..strangers tried to come into the apartment
[19:49] * Trenton just looks at Nike... "So kill them and be done with it." He then notices the kitchen is on fire... "Ancestors, Damn it! all! I told you you were not allowed to cook!"
[19:50] <Minerva> GAH IT'S SPREADING
[19:50] <Lady Nike> I would have but i thought it was bad manners
[19:52] * Trenton storms into the kitchen and puts out the fire himself.
[19:52] <Veruka> ....the land lord is going to kill us
[19:54] <Minerva> I was trying!
[19:56] <Maia> they stated they knew a Matsumi Kaze, Megan Smithson and Sean Collins
[19:56] <Minerva> wait...Meg and Matsumi?
[20:00] <Anesha> ♦ *sigh* Ugh, this poor plant's on its last legs. Minerva, you there?
[20:01] <Trenton> ...What about my son?
[20:01] <Maia> the voice states it knows them
[20:01] <Trenton> S[BLEEP]T! ITS STILL TALKING!
[20:01] * Trenton throws a pan at the plant!
[20:02] <Anesha> ♦ Look, I'm using this plant as a medium to talk with you! It's like a walkie-talkie.... or that whisperweed stuff from another world I visited once before.
[20:05] <Maia> how very observant you are
[20:06] <Maia> why do you persist in seeking us out
[20:07] *** the pan hits the plant, smashing it to bits
[20:07] <Anesha> .......
[20:07] <Anesha> ~_~
[20:08] <Trenton> Plants don't TALK! They just don't F[BLEEP]KING Talk! I swear to the spirits, I am going to incinerate the planet if any more come into this place and start talking!
[20:09] <Anesha> Oh for f[BLEEP]k's sake
[20:09] * Anesha knocks on the door once again, with a bit more force this time.
[20:10] * the ice doesn't budge
[20:12] <Zotia> ....let me.
[20:13] <Zotia> Uhm... hello? Can you hear us out here? Mr. Collins asked of us to find you.
[20:18] <Maia> and what is your intention then.
[20:20] * Trenton has stomped of to another room, still ranting about plants...
[20:22] <Zotia> Firstly, to confirm your whereabouts. Second, to give peace of mind to those whom were still searching for you. And finally, if possible, to help you return to the other side.
[20:23] * Maia pauses and looks to the others......
[20:23] <Maia> so you wish to kill us?
[20:24] <Zotia> ....you misinterpret my words.
[20:26] <Zotia> How to put this -- you were all revived against your wills, correct?
[20:26] <Thetis> you can say that again
[20:26] * Thetis gives a glare at Maia
[20:28] <Maia> it was not by choice no
[20:35] <Zotia> Now how to put this...
[20:38] <Zotia> We know of a few people who can peacefully transition your souls back to the other side, without a need for killing.... but that would depend on how much of an attachment you have to this planet and current time.
[20:39] * the group goes silent
[20:42] * the group starts to talk among each other
[20:45] <...> ...whatever it is we decide to do...it will be done on our terms. Should any of us decide to accept your offer, we will seek you out.
[20:46] * A shadowed woman is walking slowly toward Zoita and Anesha.
[20:47] <A shadowed woman> Understand...we have reasons that we have not reached out to those who are seeking us. And we wish that to be respected for now.
[20:49] <Zotia> Very well. Should you have an answer, we'll be waiting.
[20:50] <A shadowed woman> Can we trust...you will not reveal out location and...current status?
[20:51] <Zotia> We will keep this secret, but we cannot guarantee that it will remain such. We're not the only ones seeking your group.
[20:52] <A shadowed woman> We know. Please return to your home, and allow us the time we need.
[20:53] <Zotia> As you wish.
[20:53] <Anesha> That said, kindly ask your friend to not immolate the messenger plant next time?
[20:54] * A shadowed woman tilts her head...in a confused manner...
[20:55] <Anesha> I was using that lovely houseplant to chat with everyone... then someone set it on fire. It didn't deserve that!
[20:55] <A shadowed woman> ...I will...pass on the message.
[20:56] <Anesha> Thank you. We'll be on our way now.
[20:56] * Anesha and Zotia head on out.
[20:57] * A shadowed woman steps toward the door, and under the light...
[20:57] * A shadowed woman is now known as Jenn
[20:58] *** the door is still covered in ice
[20:58] * Jenn taps on the iced door...
[20:58] <Jenn> Let me in, Maia.
[21:00] * Maia causes the ice to vanish
[21:02] <Maia> come in
[21:06] * Jenn enters the apartment. "So much for avoiding the children..."
[21:07] *** the apartment smells of smoke
[21:11] <Jenn> ...Trenton?
[21:16] <Maia> no, Minerva
[21:17] <Jenn> Did she try to cook again?
[21:19] * Trenton comes back intot he room with a clean shirt, still grumbling under his breath...
[21:20] <Maia> yes.
[21:23] <Jenn> I guess that is coming out of the deposit...
[21:30] * Trenton leavs for his shift...
[21:30] *** Trenton has left #suburbansenshi3
[21:31] <Jenn> So, I heard...most of what the two out front were talking to you guys about.
[21:35] <Maia> yes.
[21:35] <Minerva> they're offering to send us back to the afterlife....
[21:35] *** the others have a sort of..grim look on their face
[21:36] <Jenn> We all have time to think about it. You don't have to decide right now.
[21:36] <Minerva> ...I do miss Mentis..it's not fair she couldn't come with us...
[21:37] <Thetis> and my husband...
[21:38] <Jenn> That was because the one who brought us back...he selected us for a reason. None of the rest of my court were resurrected either.
[21:38] <Jenn> But I understand your reasons to go back...I don't know just yet myself.
[21:43] <Minerva> yes..well we're here anyway
[21:46] <Minerva> ...
[21:47] <Minerva> AW NEXUS I FORGOT ABOUT THE DINNER
[21:52] <Jenn> W-wait! Minerva!
[21:54] * Minerva turns on the stove on again..only for it to blow up in her face O_O
[21:55] <Jenn> Oh Minerva...let's order out tonight.
[21:56] * Minerva coughs
[21:56] <Minerva> ...let's
[21:57] *** Jenn has left #suburbansenshi3 (Tempura?)
[21:58] *** Minerva has left #suburbansenshi3 (yeah sure)

---

[23:56] *** there's a knock at the apartment door
[23:57] * Minerva opens the door slightly and takes a piece of paper from the landlord, closing the door again
[23:59] * Minerva looks at the paper
[23:59] *** Minerva has left #suburbansenshi3 (WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE ANY WATER!?)

---

[20:23] *** outside of a dingy looking Hotel building..a group approches
[20:23] <Maia> we are here.
[20:23] <Minerva> ......this is why you brought us!?
[20:23] <Thetis> it looks horrendious....
[20:24] <Jenn> Jenn: I guess...its a fixer-upper?
[20:24] <Trenton> ...This looks condemned.
[20:24] <Veruka> ...I hate to say it but i agree with Thetis..it looks awful
[20:25] <Keith> Uh...heh, Maia. You're joking with us...right?
[20:26] <Maia> I never joke.
[20:26] * Maia pushes past a rusty gate and approuches the door
[20:26] * Keith and Jenn exchange looks...
[20:28] <Jenn> Maia, I know you mean well...
[20:29] * Maia walks over to the front door....and turns the door knob to the right
[20:29] <Maia> ...are you coming?
[20:29] <Minerva> ...I just know there's going to be vermin in there...
[20:30] * Jenn and Keith reluctantly follow.
[20:32] * Maia opens the door and holds it open
[20:33] <Jenn> Jenn steps through the door...
[20:33] * Jenn ^
[20:34] <Jenn> (( curse my old habits ))
[20:35] <Maia> welcome...
[20:35] <Maia> to our new home
[20:35] <->




[20:35] <Minerva> ......
[20:36] <Veruka> ..by the spirits...
[20:43] <Maia> the process is not perfected...I am still..improving
[20:50] * Jenn and Keith are speechless....
[20:50] * Trenton eventually walks through the door, and just...STOPS.
[20:50] <Trenton> ....How...
[20:53] <Maia> spacial transference, along with ateration programming
[20:53] * Minerva looks around in awe....
[20:54] <Maia> this is mearly the entrance....there is many more locations
[20:54] <Jenn> There's...more?
[20:55] <Maia> apart from the basement...there are 20 floors
[20:56] <Maia> ten of which are dedicated to living quarters
[20:56] * Maia walks over to a directory sign
[20:57] * Maia points to the ten floors she mentioned
[20:57] <Maia> ..each of these ten floors are dedicated to a different planetary court
[20:57] <Keith> Wow...this is amazing!
[20:58] <Maia> for instance...
[20:58] <Maia> floor six is dedicated to the Saturnians
[20:59] <Trenton> ...I'm going to get Elizabeth...
[20:59] * Trenton quickly leaves!
[21:00] * Trenton is away: Hon! Pack your things! NOW!
[21:00] <Maia> there is also a public bathing area...as well as areas for entertainment and liesure
[21:01] * Jenn fidgets. "Maia...this is...I don't know...You..."
[21:02] <Maia> yes?
[21:02] <Keith> I think what she is trying to say is...thank you, for all of this, Maia.
[21:03] <Maia> ah.
[21:03] <Maia> your apperciation of my work is welcome
[21:03] * Minerva touches one of the screens near a table "..holy loadstone, the touchscreen is just like the old days!"
[21:04] * Jenn suddenly hugs Maia...
[21:04] * Maia stiffens
[21:05] <Maia> a..ah..y..yes
[21:07] * is admiring some of the paintings...they seem reproductions of art from some of the old palaces
[21:07] <Lady Nike> ^
[21:08] <Lady Nike> astonishing..
[21:09] <Jenn> Maia...I don't know if you did allt his to try and...find redemption for everything leading up to this...but you didn't have to. This splendor you are giving us here is beyond words.
[21:10] <Maia> i..it was in...our best interest...to have a local..better...better suited to living
[21:11] * Keith puts a hand on Jenn's shoulder. "Ok, let's let Maia breathe a little." :)
[21:11] * Jenn lets go of Maia.
[21:11] * Maia looks more comfortable now
[21:11] <Maia> thank you.
[21:12] <Jenn> Can we tour the place?
[21:13] <Maia> of course
[21:13] <Maia> you are free to wander
[21:15] * Keith and Jenn take a walk afound the place...
[21:16] *** the lobby has touch screens, lush chairs and paintings and art of all kinds
[21:16] *** there is two elevators
[21:20] *** there is also a directory
[21:27] * Minerva is with Sigfred, looking at the directory
[21:48] * Trenton returns with Elizabeth, and takes uer up to the 6th floor...
[21:49] *** as you enter the sixth floor....you find yourself in a luxurious center room....colored in shades of gourious purples......saturnian artwork dot areas...and there's a painting of Jenn right on the wall
[21:54] *** the area seems to be built to recall late Golden Age Saturnian style...there are hallways which seem to lead to other rooms on the floor
[22:08] <Trenton> Seems nice
[22:08] * Trenton checks for proper lodgings for himself and his wife
[22:12] *** there is a room set aside for trenton and elizabeth!
[22:17] * Trenton enters with his wife to look around
[22:19] *** the room is patterned after one of them from the old castle..well sort of a mix of old and new...
[22:24] *** the bedroom is actually fairly large
[22:28] <Trenton> Hmm...not bad.
[22:33] * Trenton watches his wife happily going over everything
[22:33] * Jenn and Keith make their way to their room
[22:38] *** the room for Jenn and Keith is massive....fit for saturnian royality......there is a large bed...there's an ortimental feature which mimics the planet in the form of a gold model...
[22:40] *** there are paintings and a large window showing Saturn from orbit
[22:53] *** there is also enough room in the room to add things of course
[23:25] *** Jenn has left #suburbansenshi3 (I think...this is home.)
[23:25] *** Keith has left #suburbansenshi3 (Good to be home.)
[23:25] *** Trenton has left #suburbansenshi3 (Let's settle in)

[22:12] <Millina> that man...
[22:12] <Millina> he will bankrupt us I'm sure

[22:18] * Millina sighs
[22:18] * Millina picks them up and turns to go.....
[22:18] <Minerva> .....

[22:21] * Millina drops the tray, the glasses smashing

[22:26] <Millina> oh Six...but..you..died...
[22:26] <Millina> you died...*sniffles*
[22:26] <Minerva> ..I'm very much alive now....dear friend...
[22:26] * Millina tears up..sobs and starts to cry
[22:27] * Minerva pulls Millina into a hug
[22:27] <Minerva> it's alright..it's alright...
[22:27] * Tobas falls to his knees

[22:28] * Tobas stumbles to his feet
[22:28] * Minerva holds onto the sobbing Millina
[22:35] <Minerva> ...I have many things to tell you, Milllina....
[22:35] * Minerva smiles and wipes Millina's eyes
[22:35] <Minerva> now where do I start...

[09:36] * Minerva yawns, heading out of her room and blinks...
[09:36] <Minerva> uh..

[09:36] <Minerva> WHERE'S THE EXIT!?

[00:41] * Megan Smithson lights the shadows...listening to the strange hollow sounds...

[19:02] <@spiritflame> Current Location is: Chaldea
[19:02] * Nelius Raoul takes the elevator down, and opens the door to Chaldea.
[19:03] <Nelius Raoul> (All right, now where's Magi?)
[19:05] <Nelius Raoul> ......where to go, though?
[19:07] *** Personally, I'd check the command room first. Yo know, the place with CHALDEAS itself?
[19:08] * Nelius Raoul hasn't been down here since the whole "Tokyo Singularity" thing was cleared about.... what, two years ago?
[19:08] * The Magistra is working on that, Honest <.<
[19:09] * The Magistra is in the command room though, she's currently talking to Da Vinici
[19:09] * Nelius Raoul goes to make his way towards the Command Room..... wherever that is relative to his position, of course.
[19:10] *** It's at the end of the hallway. Also you pass a bunch of windows, it's snowing outside.
[19:11] <Nelius Raoul> (Well, Future!Magi did say this place is in Antarctica... hell of a place to build a base, though. Unless they were needing a place so remote they wouldn't be disturbed.)
[19:11] <Nelius Raoul> (Either way....)
[19:11] * Nelius Raoul heads towards the Command Room.
[19:12] * The Magistra is in the middle of a conversation while sitting at a desk, she pauces mid work and looks up when the door opens. "Hmmm"
[19:14] <Nelius Raoul> Hey, got a minute?
[19:14] <The Magistra> What's up?
[19:15] <Nelius Raoul> Need some information. I was out in Kyoto following a lead, when this random chick accosted me. Twice now it's happened, and after the second incident I'm becoming convinced she's one of those rogue spirits.
[19:17] <Nelius Raoul> If there is going to be a third run-in (and let's be honest, it's likely gonna happen), I'd like to go in prepared.
[19:19] <The Magistra> Discribe this person?
[19:19] <Nelius Raoul> Anyway, here's what I do know --- this chick was a Japanese woman, and for some reason she thought I was her long-lost son or something. (Seriously, I don't even look Japanese.) I tried to tell her she had the wrong guy, only for that to apparently be her signal to pull a sword on me.
[19:20] <The Magistra> Hmmmm
[19:20] <Nelius Raoul> She stood about as tall as you, black hair that I swear looked purple, and she had on some really old-looking armor..... might've been platemail? Regardless, she even had a naginata, a longbow and an axe...... and then came the lightning.
[19:21] <The Magistra> Oh well that narrows it down alot actully. Giant Tijubas?
[19:21] <Nelius Raoul> Honestly, I begin to wonder if all that electricity she was hurling around short-circuited her brain....
[19:21] * The Magistra motions to her own chest as she says to make it clear what she's talking about
[19:22] <Nelius Raoul> But yeah, as that one streamer put it.... honka-donka-badonkas.
[19:22] <The Magistra> That would be Minamoto-no-Raikou.
[19:23] <Nelius Raoul> .....as in related to Minamoto-no-Yos[BLEEP]tune?
[19:23] <The Magistra> Yes.
[19:24] <Nelius Raoul> Explains that. I admit to not really being on the up-and-up with Japanese history, but if someone like her was in the family tree, then little wonder things were up and down for that clan.
[19:25] <The Magistra> She's also usually manifets as a Berserker.
[19:25] <Nelius Raoul> Still, what's out in Kyoto that would be anchoring her to that place?
[19:26] <The Magistra> She can be summoned as Lancer or Saber though.
[19:26] <The Magistra> Hmmm
[19:28] * The Magistra pulls up a profile on Raikou
[19:31] <The Magistra> During Raikou's time, Kyoto was the captial
[19:32] <The Magistra> And the Minamoto clan are low ranking members of the emperor's family, not even considered nobles
[19:34] <The Magistra> There are plently of things that could Link Raikou to Kyoto
[19:35] <Nelius Raoul> I see. Then what about her pulling lightning outta nowhere? She have any kind of magicians or something in her family tree?
[19:36] <The Magistra> Oh, that's all her power
[19:38] <Nelius Raoul> Is it? For a moment, I thought I sensed demonic power in the area.
[19:41] <The Magistra> Also her. She's an child of Gozu Tennoh, Ushi-Gozen is her alternate self and she's also techinally the half-sister of Arjuna due to Gozu Tenoh being an incarnation of Indra
[19:42] <Nelius Raoul> ....so basically she's divine, demonic and human all at once?
[19:43] <Nelius Raoul> ...little wonder her mind seemed f[BLEEP]ked up. Divine or demonic power on its own is already enough of a stress on a human, but both at once? Doubt there's a therapist in the known cosmos that could sort that mess out.
[19:44] <The Magistra> Her madness is also tied to her children, and those history claimed she has. The short version is she can't tell the diffrence between diffrent kinds of love
[19:46] <Nelius Raoul> And that explains why she went psychotic. Either way, there ought to be a method to release that anchor on her soul, 'cause if anybody from around there got caught up in this mess it'd be a bloodbath.
[19:47] <The Magistra> We'll have to dispatch a Master to fight her, though I'm not sure if we have anyone strong enough
[19:48] <The Magistra> A servant isn't the real deal, it's more like a copy downloaded from the Throne
[19:49] <The Magistra> once you kill it, it just disipates and any important memories are sent to the throne
[19:49] <The Magistra> though usually those aren't re-downloaded
[19:49] <Nelius Raoul> And that brings me to my second question -- you said these Heroic Spirits are supposed to be made of some kind of particulates, yes? Would there happen to be any materials that could forcibly disrupt those particles?
[19:50] <The Magistra> They're basically made of magic
[19:51] <Nelius Raoul> .....hmmmm, in that case, I'd bet weaponry made of that Nth Metal stuff could do the trick.
[19:52] <Nelius Raoul> That stuff can disrupt and slay wrathful ghosts and the like.
[19:52] <The Magistra> Yeah that's probably the only thing that could do it.
[19:54] <The Magistra> A more detailed explanation, a servant is made of Spritron particles, on the surface they look like a lesh and blood person but on the microscopic scale, instead of being made of regualr atoms they're made of basically made of "Magic atoms" so to speak. You could phsycially stab their body with a regular old knife, even hi their heart but unless you hit their magical core they're just going eventually heal
[19:57] <Nelius Raoul> Duly noted -- so hit 'em hard, go right for the weak spots, and don't relent.
[19:58] <The Magistra> addtionally they need magical energy, fuel to keep the spell forming them going. Barring specfic skills, if you cut off the magic supply they'll go poof after their stored energy runs out.
[19:59] * The Magistra frowns for a moment "Which is why in a proper grail war, one can always just kill the human master holding the leash.
[20:01] <Nelius Raoul> Admittedly, that was my main hangup about this whole Servant System -- if the Master goes down, so does the Servant, so what is stopping the enemy from just attacking the Master directly?
[20:03] <The Magistra> Physically? The servant guarding them, obviously.
[20:04] <Nelius Raoul> Of course, given the sheer number of intersecting worlds and beings around here, can't rule out someone deciding to just snipe them from about two precincts away.
[20:04] <The Magistra> Also, an honrable knight class wouldn't attack the "Defenseless" master
[20:05] <The Magistra> Well yeah.
[20:06] <The Magistra> Magecraft users tend not to be good with tech. And guns are unheard of
[20:06] <Nelius Raoul> ....hoo boy, THAT is going to be a nasty blindspot, several times over.
[20:07] <The Magistra> There have been people who take advantage of that yes
[20:08] <The Magistra> The Assassin class is usually used to target Masters, because their combat pararamters are so low
[20:09] <Nelius Raoul> Makes sense... they're usually not made for a protracted battle.
[20:14] <Nelius Raoul> Still, this whole conversation has been rather enlightening. Thanks.
[20:15] * The Magistra looks down. "...any other questions?"
[20:16] <Nelius Raoul> At the moment, not really.
[20:16] <Nelius Raoul> I'll be on my way back up. Thanks again.
[20:17] * Nelius Raoul turns to leave and head back to the elevator.
[20:18] *** Nelius Raoul [Overlord.Shura.CreativeChaos@Rasetsu.Coalition.nw] has left #suburbansenshi3 (*back upstairs*)
[20:19] <The Magistra> .....
[20:19] <The Magistra> ...I shouldn't have entered that War

[21:06] * A Lady walks the streets of Nerima, casually looking around the night scene.
[21:08] <A Lady> Sure is a lot of this..."An-nim-may" stuff around here...
[21:12] <Woman> Meg told me it was the...popular thing in this area of the planet
[21:15] <A Lady> So you've been in contat with your..."sister"?
[21:17] <Woman> we're linked through the dreamscape
[21:17] <Woman> our souls are..linked
[21:17] <A Lady> I see. Must be nice. How much does she know about our situation?
[21:18] <Woman> she knows enough
[21:18] <Woman> she knows we are alive
[21:18] <Woman> but she promised to keep it a secret
[21:19] <A Lady> I wonder how much longer we should stay like this? Has...anyone else talked to you about what they want to do with ths life...or if they want to return to the Other Side?
[21:22] <Woman> ..I think most everyone has been..trying to adapt
[21:26] <Woman> I mean..I suppose it..isn't too bad
[21:30] <A Lady> My husband and brother's house seem to want to live out this life a bit.
[21:30] <Woman> I mean.....it..could be worse for us
[21:31] <A Lady> I suppose it could be...we could still be stuck in those cells, and slaves to that strange man's will...
[21:34] <A Lady> Come to think of it...we haven't seen or heard of that man since our escape. Do you think he is still out there?
[21:41] <Woman> ..I don' tknow..but if he is..
[21:41] * Woman cracks her knuckles
[21:43] <A Lady> Very strange that he would put us through all that only to vanish.
[21:44] <A Lady> Well, let us not qwell on such matters. Let's go find this Coffee House your husband spoke fondly of.
[21:44] <Woman> oh yeah
[21:44] <Woman> this co-fee is actually quite interesting
[21:49] <A Lady> It sounds interesting. Different from tea.
[21:49] <Woman> I do not know why Siegfried is so enamored with it though
[21:50] <A Lady> We shall soon see!
[21:51] * A Lady walks with her friend into the business district!
[21:52] *** A Lady has left #suburbansenshi3 (Human beverages are...interesting)
[21:52] *** Woman has left #suburbansenshi3 (very)

[00:30] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> of all the times for mother to be bloody busy....
[00:30] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte looks around as the cultusts approuch her...
[00:30] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte grabs a nearby braizer and THROWS it down....it INSTANTLY ignites....the room going up in flames and smoke
[00:31] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte backs away as the cultests scream in pain and horror as they catch on fire...
[00:32] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte looks out among the screaming crowd..and sees a woman staring at her with red rimmed eyes
[00:33] <Kaelyn P. Peinforte> I warned you, Mater Tenebrarum! Do not try and cross me or my family again!
[00:35] * The Woman tries to point at her, but the roof collapses...cutting her off from Kaelyn
[00:36] * Kaelyn P. Peinforte scrambles back...and turns and makes her exit out of the building
[00:36] *** Kaelyn P. Peinforte has left #suburbansenshi3

[00:13] *** Minerva has joined #suburbansenshi3
[00:13] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Minerva
[00:14] * Minerva walks from down a hall, toweling off her hair after she left the community bath in the Royale
[00:14] * Minerva pauses as she spots Maia at a computer
[00:14] * Minerva walks over...
[00:14] <Minerva> ....you have been there all day...do you plan to do anything else?
[00:15] <Maia> I am trying to find more of our fellows
[00:15] <Minerva> wait there are more out there!?
[00:15] <Maia> do you think I simply created soul crystals of ourselves and no one else
[00:15] <Minerva> uh well...
[00:16] <Maia> the only reason that we were reconstructed was we were of use
[00:17] <Maia> if I may find the others..i may be able to revive them as well
[00:17] <Minerva> what if they don't want to be revived...
[00:17] <Maia> does it sound like I am giving them a choice
[00:17] * Minerva frowns a bit to herself
[00:17] <Minerva> ..yes well i'm retiring
[00:18] <Minerva> good night to you
[00:18] <Maia> yes
[00:18] * Minerva walks off

[19:05] *** Meanwhile, in Gensokyo near the Delmo base...
[19:07] *** A large crowd has gathered at the stage for the latest edition of Freaker's Ball. Costumes are indeed encouraged for attendees. Up on the video board, an unknown entity is playing a round of Monster Bash, working the silver ball on the playing field.
[19:11] *** The flippers bounce the ball around, occasionally hitting lighted targets as well as making loops. The entity knocks the ball into a hole in the field, causing a couple of archeologist dummys on stage to move as if they're talking. They suddenly gasp as the sarcophogus opens, knocking one of them down.
[19:11] * Michelle O`Cain looks at the other dummy, and backhands it in the face. She then turns towards the crowd.
[19:11] <Michelle O`Cain> ♦ Man, that sarcophogus sucked! And where's my bass? I wanna jam!
[19:12] * Michelle O`Cain takes her spot on the stage, strapping on her bass guitar
[19:14] *** Then the video board shows someone walking through a set of corridors leading to a coffin.
[19:14] * Azumi Kiribayashi rises up from the coffin, dressed as Dracula
[19:15] <Azumi Kiribayashi> ♦ BLAH! I am Count Dracula...and you're not! And good evening. Let's boogie!
[19:15] * Azumi Kiribayashi grabs her lead guitar, and takes her place
[19:16] *** The entity makes the silver ball take on last loop around the board to reveal a full Moon.
[19:17] * Donovan O`Cain leaps onto his set of drums and lets out a loud wolf howl
[19:17] <Donovan O`Cain> ♦ (dressed as the Wolf Man) Hoooooooow sweet it is! The Wolf Man cometh!
[19:17] * Donovan O`Cain plops down in his seat, and gets a set of drumsticks
[19:19] *** The entity flips the ball up a ramp, and it stops in place as The Bride of Frankenstein screeches.
[19:19] * Ryoko Mitsurugi rises up onto the stage dressed as The Bride, and grabs a mic
[19:19] <Ryoko Mitsurugi> ♦ All the boys will be GREEN with envy.
[19:20] *** The entity flicks the ball underneath the Monster's slab, and the ball stops as lights flash both on the video and on stage.
[19:20] <Dr. Frankenstein> ♦ Igor! Is the monster strapped down?
[19:20] <Igor> ♦ Yessss, massster!
[19:21] <Dr. Frankenstein> ♦ Get ready while I flip the switch! (flips the switch downward) AHAHAHAHAHA!
[19:22] *** The slab on the stage moves upright, the Monster is freed from its restraints, and lets out a growl.
[19:22] <Dr. Frankenstein> ♦ IT'S ALIVE!!!!
[19:23] * David O`Cain is dressed up as Frankenstein's Monster, and lumbers stiffly towards a second mic
[19:24] * David O`Cain kicks off Freaker's Ball as lead vocalist with some good ol' James Brown

[20:26] <David O`Cain> ^ this
[20:28] *** Another peal of a guitar chord rings out, followed by a quick drum solo like a burst from an autocannon!
[20:28] *** Wait, could it be...?
[20:31] *** Kagerou Imaizumi has joined #suburbansenshi3
[20:31] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Kagerou Imaizumi
[20:33] * Kagerou Imaizumi walks out onto a different stage, which has a big jumbotron rising up behind her. In the background, a slow and steady mournful Metal beat is going.
[20:33] <Kagerou Imaizumi> Good evening to all!
[20:33] * David O`Cain was about to move onto the next song, but gets cut off by the interruption
[20:34] <David O`Cain> (There better be a good explaination for this.)
[20:35] <Kagerou Imaizumi> I've been gone for a while, and it's taken me this long to finally recover from the ordeal I went through on that world of endless oceans and terrible monsters who haunted the depths.
[20:36] <Kagerou Imaizumi> And while I was trapped on that world I experienced an ordeal unlike anyone who dwells in Gensokyo has ever experienced.
[20:38] <Kagerou Imaizumi> For a while I was lost and wandered half-crazed, for while exploring an alien complex deep underwater I'd accidentally triggered a great machine that transferred an alien mind into my own. Its name? Al-An, and for a while we were companions. All it sought was to rebuild a new body for itself and to return to its own kind.
[20:41] *** The accompanying music is slow but light in tone. Sanae and Hatate are outdoing themselves tonight making their guitars sound like violins
[20:42] <Kagerou Imaizumi> But then we found out that the place we'd arrived at, a bitterly cold Arctic land surrounded by fierce and unforgiving ocean, was home to something worse than the elements.
[20:43] <Kagerou Imaizumi> The oceans held new dangers in the form of new creatures previously undiscovered on Planeta del Agua...and the land itself was scarred by a war whose ghosts still haunted it.
[20:44] <Kagerou Imaizumi> Once, it had been a home to survivors of a great and awful conflict. Survivors of both sides of that war had crash-landed there, but had settled their differences and tried to coexist.
[20:45] *** The Jumbotron starts showing images of the Acrtic ocean regions of Planet 4546-B, alternating between the frigid wasteland of the islands above water, and the nasty creatures that lived below the surface.
[20:47] <Kagerou Imaizumi> But old animosities sometimes live on in those unwilling or unable to let go, and those animosities gave birth to a new threat that became the downfall of everyone: the Last Command.
[20:49] *** The music takes a darker turn as the screen shows recovered and restored footage of...holy crap, it's the WAR!! You see the Kansen in all their ferocity decades ago, engaging the colonists and wiping out their aquatic facilities before slowly and steadily grinding everything else down on the surface.
[20:51] *** The screen focuses on the Human soldiers, fighting bitterly in the streets and passages of their former colonies as they're being bombarded into scrap.
[20:52] <Kagerou Imaizumi> The Alliance, or rather these survivors and descendants OF the Alliance, were being annihilated by the very creations they'd built to HELP them and their VanSaar neighbors.
[20:54] <Kagerou Imaizumi> They fought against their insane creations, with no hope of victory. And no end in sight.
[20:56] *** The screen shows the footage of the last stronghold's doors being blown open, then the Kansen of Ironblood surged through, led by none other than that psycho-doll Roon.
[20:57] <Kagerou Imaizumi> The peoples of the Alliance had always held themselves as the champions of advancement, with their nation as the flagship of progress and themselves as its crew and captain.
[20:58] <Kagerou Imaizumi> For them it must have seemed like yesterday that they were steering their vessel towards new lands, bringing with them the promise of prosperity and civilization. Until the Last Command...ended it all.
[20:59] *** The screen shows the last stand of the Alliance people as the Sea-Dolls mercilessly hunted them all down. No quarter was given.
[21:00] *** Daughters and moms. Fathers and sons. Fell one by one under their guns.
[21:01] <Kagerou Imaizumi> When the storm came, it swallowed them all. No matter the class or age or belief. They lost everything to savagery and brutality.
[21:02] <Kagerou Imaizumi> And with it...all hope for the future.
[21:03] *** The last scene shows Chibi-Leady with a group of children huddled together in an icy canyon, watching everything burning in the distance. Even from where they are, the flashes of cannons and laser weaponry can be seen.
[21:03] *** But here the music starts to pick up.
[21:06] *** The scene switches, showing groups of people rushing towards a number of large tracked vehicles being operated and guarded by grim men and women wearing darkly-colored close-fitting hostile environment suits. Wait, you've SEEN those types of suits before! They're not FIGHTING the people coming at them, they're HELPING them to get onboard!
[21:07] <Kagerou Imaizumi> They said their final farewells to notions of prosperity, idealism, and plenty. And for those who were determined to survive came the time to adapt.
[21:08] <Kagerou Imaizumi> As the people who stayed behind to fight the Kansen bought time with their lives, these survivors left in secrecy and headed inland. Away from the sea, and deeper into the desolate interior.
[21:10] *** The transports start to roll across the bleak terrain, moving slowly but steadily across windswept fields and jagged hills all engulfed in ice and snow.
[21:12] <Kagerou Imaizumi> They roamed for days, maybe weeks. Leaving behind everything they'd tried to build and hoped to create. All the while, the VanSaar, the ones they'd entrusted their fates to , pushed forward. Relentlessly. Resolutely.
[21:12] <Kagerou Imaizumi> It was ADVERSITY that kept the VanSaar motivated. Slowly, step by step.
[21:14] <Kagerou Imaizumi> Fate had sought to exterminate them all, but THEY were determine to reject fate and overcome it...WITH the Alliance survivors beside them.
