Mission 035 - Keep Away

[srwu_mods]

cubey@aol.pl (01:08:58): An Unity Group shuttle was sent to retrieve Sara Harper - who was found in space, by PROGTECH employees operating in a research facility... IN SPAAACE.
cubey@aol.pl (01:09:29): A larger group of people is present on the shuttle, in case something happens.
cubey@aol.pl (01:09:33): And indeed - something happened.
cubey@aol.pl (01:09:38): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYn2Q-kVNAk
cubey@aol.pl (01:11:45): Halfway on the way, your shuttle suddenly receives a transmission - coming from the research station.
cubey@aol.pl (01:12:30): ???: "This is an emergency! The facility has been breached, I repeat - the facility has been breached."
VJockey (01:12:53): "!!"
Wyverncakes (01:13:01): "!!"
VJockey (01:13:09): [Well that got Leos scrambling into the Pale Rider.]
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:13:12): "!!"
Meraxa (01:13:13): "...No, Sara...!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:13:17): PROGTECH operator: "The attackers were identified as a pair of ACs. Recognition is under way."
VJockey (01:13:18): "Who is it?! Who's attacking?!"
Peter Kampschroeder (01:13:22): Eva wastes no time in running towards what she's brought along, a dark-blue Genspenst II. Spacesuit's already on, of course.
Wyverncakes (01:13:34): Mizuki: "Details, what just happened?!?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:13:34): "Is is the Indalph again!" Dido snarls. "Jesus, can't they take a hint?"
VJockey (01:13:38): "...I see..."
VJockey (01:13:53): "Its not the people that took her... their mistake then..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:13:55): PROGTECH operator: "Their current goal is unknown. Requesting immediate assistance."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:13:59): Dido heads towards ShelLancer, stopping along the way to pick up a spare suit for Sara.
Ishikar3 (01:14:07): Yuuya:"Is there anyway to expedite a launch to get us there faster?"
Meraxa (01:14:14): Ken: ...ACs... Leos, do you think...? *He pauses briefly to ask, before rushing to ScarleTiger's cockpit*
VJockey (01:14:32): "We need to get over there first.."
cubey@aol.pl (01:14:32): Shuttle pilot: "I'm getting there as fast as possible. Strap yourselves in tight, boys and girls."
tengusaur (01:14:34): Hetepheres: "This is the reason why I brought Scaraber with me. Prepare the machine immediately!" She extends her arm in a commanding gesture, hurrying her mechanics.
Wyverncakes (01:14:35): Mizuki: "We're coming."
cubey@aol.pl (01:14:38): The Unity Group shuttle accelerates.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:14:38): "ACs?" Dido blurts out. She sighs in relief. "Phew. That we can manage."
VJockey (01:14:47): "WHOOAAOOA"
Wyverncakes (01:15:08): Mizuki wastes no time in drawing out the DuskBird as well, fists clenched with resolution.
Ishikar3 (01:15:10): Yuuya: "Come on Leos, you did TSF training, this is nothing compared to that."
Wyverncakes (01:15:17): "... We're not going to lose her again..."
Ishikar3 (01:15:28): Yuuya:"I just hope we can make it in time."
cubey@aol.pl (01:15:55): It doesn't take long for the station to appear on your visuals.
tengusaur (01:16:01): Hetepheres: "Stay on your toes. Since there are only two enemies, it means they have to be very strong."
cubey@aol.pl (01:16:15): Or rather, the space object located by the space station appears first, and the facility second.
cubey@aol.pl (01:16:29): The PROGTECH research base is studying remains of a very large spaceship.
VJockey (01:16:36): "Its... a little different and-"
cubey@aol.pl (01:16:36): It must have been destroyed during the war, 15 years ago.
VJockey (01:16:43): "... That... is a big ship..."
Meraxa (01:16:50): Ken: ...Very big...
cubey@aol.pl (01:17:16): Shuttle pilot: "We're very close, PROGTECH. What's your situation out there?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:17:43): Operator: "The damage to the facility is minimal, but the ACs made with an important container and fled into the hulk."
cubey@aol.pl (01:18:13): Operator: "Requesting assistance in retrieving it. Our defense force is currently insufficient, even with our guest's help."
Meraxa (01:18:47): Ken: What's in the container? Anything we should be cautious of?
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:19:11): Dido squirms in ShelLancer's cockpit, the cheap vacuum suit she's wearing chaffing at her knees and elbows. She frowns. "Guests? Are they referring to Sara? Or someone else?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:19:33): Operator: "I do not have clearance to discuss that, but it is safe to handle."
VJockey (01:19:45): "Understood."
VJockey (01:19:58): ".... Lets go kill some bad guys"
Peter Kampschroeder (01:20:06): Eva: "Guest, singular."
Wyverncakes (01:20:09): Mizuki: "Well let's just be grateful that this container of theirs is all they were after."
Ishikar3 (01:21:10): Yuuya: "Well at least the hulk will give us some reference for up and down. Is there any risk of hazard if the container is damaged?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:21:11): Antov: "The situation got complicated out there..." You can hear the commander's static-y voice. Reception is not too good.
tengusaur (01:21:24): Hetepheres: "I wonder what those thieves are after. Is any further information available about them..."
tengusaur (01:21:29): Hetepheres: "Commander?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:21:57): Antov: "We're not currently on best standing with PROGTECH so this situation should help fix that. I mean - thievery will not be accepted. Move out!"
Wyverncakes (01:22:10): Mizuki: "Understood!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:22:29): Operator: "Please try not to damage the container. The ACs were identified as Raven-use, Icy Blue and the Wolf."
cubey@aol.pl (01:22:36): "Ranked 15th and 14th in the arena, respectively."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:23:01): "Understood!" Dido says. She frowns. "Uh…does that mean they're dangerous? I don't really watch the Arena matches…"
Wyverncakes (01:23:13): Mizuki: "Leos, what's your ranking?"
Ishikar3 (01:23:16): Stella: "Ugghh... more Ravens. No offense to present company of course."
Wyverncakes (01:23:32): Here she was hoping to use Leos as a measuring stick...
tengusaur (01:23:43): Hetepheres: "Indeed, we are not. PROGTECH should not think we have suddenly decided to play enforcers for them."
Ishikar3 (01:23:54): Stella: "After that last mess with Leos and his handler I'm not sure what their goals are."
cubey@aol.pl (01:24:49): Anyway, the shuttle's mecha-sized hatch opens.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:24:55): Dido: "Beyond creating a bunch of pretexts for lawsuits?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:24:58): Time to move out into space. I hope your units are vacuum-sealed!
VJockey (01:25:10): "...I'm... Kind of last place in the arena"
Wyverncakes (01:25:31): "... I see..."
VJockey (01:25:39): "And no offense taken. The other Ravens are jerks"
Peter Kampschroeder (01:25:47): Eva: "I'm shocked."
Wyverncakes (01:25:47): "Either way, you have us backing you up."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:25:48): "Say, Ken?" Dido asks, a note of concern in her voice. "Try not to…move ScarleTiger's right elbow too much, okay?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:26:09): "Or expose it to sunlight."
cubey@aol.pl (01:26:14): You are pretty close to the space hulk.
Wyverncakes (01:26:21): Mizuki: "Time to move in."
Wyverncakes (01:26:24): The DuskBird launches!
Meraxa (01:26:26): Ken: ...Why...?
cubey@aol.pl (01:26:27): More importantly, you notice several friendly units waiting next to it.
cubey@aol.pl (01:26:38): That must be the station defenders.
Ishikar3 (01:27:04): Yuuya: "Alright, let's go people." With that the Argos flight pushes off and accelerates towards the hulk.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:27:06): "No reason." Dido says hastily. "Defintively not because there's fragile components that didn't pass the vacuum survival guidelines..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:27:07): Huckebein Mk II Ms, Genoaces and Daughtresses. Not the best units, indeed.
cubey@aol.pl (01:27:17): More importantly though, one of those units has a familiar pilot.
Meraxa (01:27:24): Ken: ...Let me guess, budget?
Wyverncakes (01:27:32): One of the Genoaces actually waves.
Wyverncakes (01:27:41): Sara: "Been a long time..."
tengusaur (01:27:56): Hetepheres: "It is good to see you again."
Wyverncakes (01:27:57): "Was wondering when you guys would get here..."
Wyverncakes (01:28:03): Mizuki: "Sara..."
VJockey (01:28:05): "Sara!!"
Meraxa (01:28:12): Ken: ...! Sara! *The drone in Ken's voice suddenly turned to jubilation.*
VJockey (01:28:31): [Leos waves back excitedly.]
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:28:32): "Sara!" Dido shouts with joy. "Alright! The Three Angels of Solaris are back in action!"
Peter Kampschroeder (01:28:44): Eva: "Ms. Harper."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:28:48): She coughs. "I've got a suit on. Do you want to switch units?"
Wyverncakes (01:29:17): Sara: "Actually... in the scramble I kinda didn't get the chance to grab one myself. Sorry..."
Meraxa (01:29:33): Ken: ...Ah. Well, be careful then. We only just got you back!
Wyverncakes (01:29:33): Mizuki: "All the more reason to wrap this up as soon as we can."
VJockey (01:29:49): "Then we'll just have to beat these guys fast!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:30:06): "S'alright." Dido amends. "Let's wrap things up, then get a cup of joe on the station, yeah?"
tengusaur (01:31:03): Hetepheres: "Can you tell us more about the attackers?"
Ishikar3 (01:31:14): VG: "At last the much awaited return of Solaris' princess. Keep safe out here we don't want anything else happening to you."
VJockey (01:32:01): "...I think..."
Wyverncakes (01:32:05): Sara: "Can't say much more than what you already probably already heard. I was getting primed to your visit and, well..."
VJockey (01:32:17): "One sec... I might have my arena cheat sheet on board..."
Ishikar3 (01:32:51): Yuuya: "Leos how many people are in the arena circuit?"
VJockey (01:32:55): [Leos face seems to shift into mild concentration... his eyes almost seem to flicker...]
cubey@aol.pl (01:33:11): Operator: "Not to hurry you, we are happy for assistance."
cubey@aol.pl (01:33:41): Stressed for what you are not doing at the time.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:33:50): "Right! Sorry!" Dido switches on ShelLancer's scanners and tries to search for the AC heat signatures.
Wyverncakes (01:33:58): Mizuki: "He's right."
tengusaur (01:34:02): Hetepheres: "Alright then, let us descend. We must make sure not to let them slip away. Try not to destroy the stolen cargo."
cubey@aol.pl (01:34:23): There is a welcoming hole blasted in the hull. This is what the units were guarding.
tengusaur (01:34:33): Hetepheres: "And... I doubt it is going to happen, but if we manage to solve this situation peacefully, that would be the best."
Ishikar3 (01:34:46): Yuuya: All right, let's keep to elements in here guys, VG is with Tarisa and Stella you're with me. Let's keep the search tight as I don't relish getting ambushed in here
cubey@aol.pl (01:34:46): The scanners' range is very low inside the spaceship, but you can tell the ACs are not waiting right near the entrance at least.
VJockey (01:34:52): "About fifty pilots right now... "
VJockey (01:35:04): "These guys are in the top fifteen so..."
Peter Kampschroeder (01:35:12): Eva follows on after the rest of the group.
Wyverncakes (01:35:30): The DuskBird heads on in, Sara's Genoaces going in right behind it.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:35:39): Dido sticks near Sara, ready to support her…or be supported.
tengusaur (01:35:42): Scaraber leads. Or at least is on the front line.
cubey@aol.pl (01:35:49): One of the Huckebeins and two Daughtresses follow as rear guard.
Meraxa (01:35:50): Ken: Perhaps... *Ken mutters, using a small booster pack to maneuver towards the hole in small ways. He... pauses briefly though, looking towards Sara's genoace. But he shakes it off, and follows his team in*
VJockey (01:36:02): [Leos follows everyone else in, keeping his Laser at the ready.]
VJockey (01:36:18): "The Wolf... its got a lot of guns, pretty heavy too."
cubey@aol.pl (01:36:23): You are inside a large and long hall. No gravity around.
cubey@aol.pl (01:36:33): And you must cross it to get to other sections of the ship.
Ishikar3 (01:36:51): Argos flight splits to take the flanks and watch side passages so they don't blunder past a shutdown or hiding enemy.
VJockey (01:36:57): "Icy Blue's more focused on its laser rifle. Its got some back mounted superchargers to make it stronger too."
Peter Kampschroeder (01:37:27): Eva helps with the rear guard.
cubey@aol.pl (01:37:29): Except that as you pass by, suddenly a side blast door opens and something explodes from inside!
cubey@aol.pl (01:37:35): Anyone willing to react?
Wyverncakes (01:37:36): Mizuki: "Then it sounds like neither of them are really big on setting up traps-"
Wyverncakes (01:37:43): "-Ambushes however-!"
Wyverncakes (01:38:03): (Mizuki will)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:38:11): Dido: "WhoahOhJeez–!" (Dido won't)
tengusaur (01:38:11): Hetepheres: "Here they are. Watch out!"
Ishikar3 (01:38:23): Yuuya and Stella are closest to the side and cover the door while the others move
cubey@aol.pl (01:38:32): Mizuki quickly approaches, and finds that the explosion came from a rigged trap.
cubey@aol.pl (01:38:37): ???: "Psych!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:38:53): Another blast door opens at the opposite side of the hall, and from inside several missiles fly at DuskBird's back!
cubey@aol.pl (01:38:55): React Mizuki.
VJockey (01:39:02): #Mizuki?
cubey@aol.pl (01:39:05): Behind the blast door you can see...
cubey@aol.pl (01:39:06): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (01:39:14): http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140618045459/armoredcore/images/2/28/AC_The_Wolf.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (01:39:20): The Wolf, a rather non-humanoid AC.
Meraxa (01:39:32): Ken: Looks like they didn't come in here to run away...!
VJockey (01:40:02): *Leos opens fire at the missiles with his laser rifle, hopefully he can get enough shots out to take those things down before they can cause Mizuki problems!+
Wyverncakes (01:40:59): * "And here I am eating my words!" The DuskBird spins around, flapping its wings and launching Void-charged feathers to intercept the missiles and striking out to its side with its whip to pull itself away quickly!+
cubey@aol.pl (01:42:34): Mizuki reacts quickly, but the confined space of the side corridor makes maneuvering difficult - not all missiles are shot down, and those that are not cause some damage to DuskBird and push it down the corridor.
cubey@aol.pl (01:42:43): Then the blast door closes, seperating her from the rest.
Wyverncakes (01:42:51): Sara: "Mizuki!"
VJockey (01:42:52): "!!!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:42:54): ???: "Prime, what the hell are you doing?"
tengusaur (01:43:12): Hetepheres: "I see. They are trying to separate us."
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:16): ???2: "They're trapped now! It's over!"
Peter Kampschroeder (01:43:17): Eva: "I should have brought a larger gun..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:43:23): Dido grits her teeth. "Tricky bastards!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:43:28): "But still–!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:29): On the far side of the corridor, a hostile is quickly maneuvering your way.
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:36): http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140618050057/armoredcore/images/9/97/AC_Icy_Blue.jpg
cubey@aol.pl (01:43:48): Icy Blue, with a powerful cannon in its right hand... and the container in its left!
Wyverncakes (01:44:09): Sara: "You..."
Meraxa (01:44:32): Ken: There's our target.
Wyverncakes (01:44:32): "You have a lot of nerve, pulling this stunt with your friend!"
VJockey (01:44:35): [Leos looks at his AC's hand though...]
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:44:43): "Buck up, Sara!" Dido replies. "They're underestimating Mizuki…and underestimating us!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:44:54): Initiative: Leos, Dido, Ken, Mizuki, Eva, Hetepheres, Yuuya + Argos Flight.
cubey@aol.pl (01:45:00): Leos and Team SolSavior, go!
tengusaur (01:45:00): Hetepheres: "Do you really think you can trap such a large group when there is just two of you? Fight us and you will find out how good most of us are. I suggest you give up that cargo and surrender."
cubey@aol.pl (01:45:05): Enemies: The Wolf, Icy Blue.
Wyverncakes (01:45:37): (Is Mizuki still cut off?)
tengusaur (01:45:37): Hetepheres: "Whatever it is, I doubt it is worth dying for."
cubey@aol.pl (01:46:26): (Yes)
VJockey (01:46:27): *Leos takes careful aim and opens fire aht Icy Blue's head... but his real objective though was the door seperating Mizuki from everyone else... he raises his AC's fist and punches it through an access panel!&
VJockey (01:46:42): "Cover me! I'm gonna get Mizuki back with us!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:46:56): "Unless it's some sort of bio-weapon or radioactive rock that they want to keep out of evil corporate hands." Dido muses. "It's unlikely, thought, cause. Well. Ravens."
Wyverncakes (01:46:58): Sara however...
Wyverncakes (01:47:09): "Leos, if you do that he's going to get away!"
VJockey (01:47:29): "I'm NOT going to lose any more friends!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:47:59): Leos's AC arm punches through the panel. What are you trying to achieve here? Also, Icy Blue easily dodges the gunfire and counters with several quick plasma bursts. React/continue!
Wyverncakes (01:48:18): * Instead Sara points the Genoaces beam spraygun (no DODS tech for her!) at the Icy Blue and opens fire! No need to target anywhere near the container though!+
cubey@aol.pl (01:48:21): ???: "Are you sure you want to do this? I have your precious loot right here, it'd be a shame if something were to happen to it!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:48:36): #Leos?
cubey@aol.pl (01:49:05): Approved.
tengusaur (01:49:24): Hetepheres: "It is hard for us to care about what you stole, considering we do not even know what it is."
Meraxa (01:49:42): Ken: ...Hm... *Ken releases from the booster, and instead lets ScarleTiger drift towards the nearest surface. Deploying its whip, he bounces from one surface to the next, before attempting to coil the weapon around the container! Maybe even pull it away!+
Peter Kampschroeder (01:49:49): Eva: "Additionally, you went to the effort to steal and not destroy it. As such, it has some value to you."
cubey@aol.pl (01:50:01): Icy Blue disappears behind a corner to evade Sara's attack. Though it probably wouldn't do much anyway, since it's a beam spraygun...
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:50:18): *"I've got your back Leos!" Dido says, agreeing with his sentiment. She moves in front of Leos to tank the hit! "Hey birdies! Try this out!" She launches a salvo are Arc Thorns from ShelLancer's shoulders, which soar towards Icy Blue…then curve off course and slam into the walls?"+
VJockey (01:50:44): *What he was trying to achieve here.... was brute force hacking the door with his MIND to make it open! He's done it before on the bases thanks to Ken's suggestion, and since he's connected to his AC it should work like one giant extension cord for him! Thanks for covering him Dido!+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:50:59): "Dammit!" Dido howls. "I forgot to calibrate for the lack of gravity! Stupid! Gragh!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:51:36): She says this on the public comm line!
Wyverncakes (01:51:47): Sara: "Solaris... must've really been desparate to have you pilot, then."
cubey@aol.pl (01:51:50): "No way!" As Ken moves in beyond the corner, he finds not the container - but Icy Blue's laser blade to meet his whip! The AC pilot dropped your objective and left it to float behind him.
Peter Kampschroeder (01:51:50): Eva: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (01:51:58): Anyway, react before your weapon is severed!
cubey@aol.pl (01:52:16): Prime: "Ha ha ha! You really are an idiot!"
tengusaur (01:52:19): Hetepheres: "...Have you never fought in outer space before?"
VJockey (01:52:50): "Don't feel too bad Dido! I fought in space without training once!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:52:52): "I knowwwww!" Dido moans audibly. "I mean, christ, I'm just a technician! What the heck am I doing here!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:53:04): ShelLancer tanks the hits, but takes moderate damage in the process. The plasma rifle is not to be underestimated.
cubey@aol.pl (01:53:09): Dido can still act.
cubey@aol.pl (01:53:11): Also...
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:53:27): She's really hamming it up. "Damn! This is just like that time in Paradigm City!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:53:37): [Wink.]
cubey@aol.pl (01:53:39): Thanks to Leos's ability of being reverse Mark Curran, the blast door springs open!
VJockey (01:53:50): "Ta da!"
cubey@aol.pl (01:54:21): In the meantime, Eva, Hetepheres and Yuuya can go.
Meraxa (01:54:53): Ken flicks back with the whip, ceasing its current path. Instead, he uses the momentum he's been building up bouncing around... "Toh!" To try and get back the enemy, and kick it from behind!+
tengusaur (01:55:07): Hetepheres: "The crate is not in his hands anymore. Someone try to outmaneuver Icy Blue and grab it... As well as scan it, if possible, to find out what is inside."
VJockey (01:55:38): "TSFs are pretty fast... Yuuya? Stella?"
cubey@aol.pl (01:55:54): ???: "Nope! Do you take me for an amateur?" Icy Blue spins really fast, its left arm laser blade cutting into ScarleTiger and pushing it back!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:56:08): @Ken?
cubey@aol.pl (01:56:39): Ken is behind a corner and ShelLancer is not ast enough to move this distance so quickly.
cubey@aol.pl (01:56:42): So denied.
Wyverncakes (01:56:47): (I take it Mizuki's free now?)
Meraxa (01:56:49): Ken: Agh! Damn, should have been faster...
tengusaur (01:56:53): Hetepheres: "And in the meantime...!" Scaraber kicks off a wall and starts soaring towards the Wolf, its energy wings buzzing. Mid-flight, Hetepheres, draws four khopeshes in a single gesture, then spins around right next to her target, striking with all blades one by one in quick succession! +
cubey@aol.pl (01:56:53): (Yes)
Wyverncakes (01:57:19): And fortunately, the DuskBird's right there waiting for all of you!
Wyverncakes (01:57:32): Mizuki: "... Sorry about that..."
Ishikar3 (01:57:41): *Yuuya reacts to Hetepheres' point and goes in at speed towards the container but as he nears it he kicks back towards Icy Blue with his sword leading and a follow up knife strike to try to drive him back towards the spikes. Tarisa instead follows behind and goes for the container while VG and Stella spread out and prepare to fire if they need to block off Icy's movements.+
Peter Kampschroeder (01:57:51): *Eva: "Noted. I will make a point of egress." her Genspenst takes out a beam saber, and starts cutting into the wall of the ship, to clear an opening into space away from either of the two Ravens-but not before firing off its missiles towards Wolf.+
Wyverncakes (01:57:53): "They certainly earned their place in Arena, I can tell that."
cubey@aol.pl (01:58:17): Prime: "The coin says... you're done for!" The Wolf fires its massive cannons at approaching Scaraber and tries to retreat deeper into the narrow side corridor. React, Hetepheres.
tengusaur (01:58:39): (type of cannons?)
cubey@aol.pl (01:59:11): (Physical rounds)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (01:59:46): Dido sends a private text message to Ken and Hetepheres.
cubey@aol.pl (01:59:50): The Wolf shot its cannons, but it still had a grenade launcher - just for Eva. React.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:00:41): "Can you lure Icy Blue near the Arc Thorns I planted?"
Peter Kampschroeder (02:00:54): *Eva counters the grenade launcher shot with her own vulcans. Shoot the bullet!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:01:02): Seeing the Argos Flight approach, Icy Blue's pilot does not lose his cool. Ha ha, that was horrible.
Meraxa (02:01:08): Ken types back. "Perhaps, but he's... fast. Faster than most have a right to be."
tengusaur (02:01:28): * "You are tough, as expected. However, you have not encountered a Noble Barrier in action before. Behold!" Hetepheres presses on, using a combination of two crossed blades and the golden barrier (as usual in the first round) to block the incoming shots, while still cutting into the enemy with wide swings of the other two ones before jumping back into a more defensive position. +
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:01:29): Dido types back hastily. "Damn. Well, we'll play it by ear."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:01:38): #Eva?
cubey@aol.pl (02:01:39): Anyway, his KARASAWA sprays the incoming TSFs at full auto as the laser blade clashes against Yuuya's physical one. React!
cubey@aol.pl (02:01:44): Approved.
Meraxa (02:02:33): #Argos Flight
cubey@aol.pl (02:02:37): Approved.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:02:59): *Dido moves forward and puts it's shoulder plate in the path some of the grenades, trying to take the pressure off Eva!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:04:15): Hetepheres tanks the heavy cannons relatively well, though Scaraber starts to accumulate damage - good thing for the Noble Barrier, as this is a really powerful weapon!
cubey@aol.pl (02:04:33): Also, in exchange the Wolf gets hit as well. Its armor is tough but if you can keep up the assault...
Ishikar3 (02:04:35): *using the new thruster sets installed with his freshly upgraded unit Yuuya takes advantage of the lack of gravity to throw his TSF into an evasive spin patently impossibly in normal gravity to evade the shots and stabs his knif at the laser blade to shut down the emitter.+
Ishikar3 (02:04:56): (his knife even)
Meraxa (02:05:41): And to save the other TSFs some trouble, Ken pulls his whip again, this time going for the karasawa - being a weapon that won't scorch on touch - to try and pull it off course. And this time, with his own weapon blazing hot to try and melt it some!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:07:31): The Raven sees what you're doing - he pulls back the laser blade, which means Yuuya is not harmed, but neither is the weapon neutralized. The rest of the Flight takes glancing hits from the plasma fire - which is still pretty damaging, but not as bad as it'd be if they were direct ones.
cubey@aol.pl (02:07:52): They're glancing thanks to Ken's intervention.
cubey@aol.pl (02:08:19): Icy Blue's pilot had enough of this, grabs the container and, shaking off the whip from his plasma rifle, quickly retreats back to the main corridor.
Meraxa (02:08:44): Ken: Blue's on te move.
Meraxa (02:08:46): *the
Wyverncakes (02:08:47): Mizuki: "Seems that one of the best Ravens still can't be asked to standand fight."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:09:14): Dido: "Roger that!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:09:50): ???: "Damn it Wolf, you should've taken care of the target, not me. This is not my style!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:10:10): "…should we avoid attacking Icy Blue with scattered fire, you think? To protect the container?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:10:21): Prime: "Heh. You think we're in trouble here?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:11:05): "Or is the container durable enough to take a few hits?" Dido asks.
Wyverncakes (02:11:14): Mizuki: "Let's not take the chance."
VJockey (02:11:33): "Ken... think you can make a dash for it?"
Wyverncakes (02:11:36): "Precise shots are one thing, but spraying and praying wouldn't be ideal here."
tengusaur (02:11:53): Hetepheres: "Engaging him in melee would be the safest tactic. I doubt he is willing to use the cargo as a shield."
VJockey (02:11:59): "Because I think I have an idea on keeping him distracted."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:12:11): "Got it." Dido says, starring at the screen and radar with an intent gaze. Any moment now...
Peter Kampschroeder (02:12:14): Eva: "Do tell."
Meraxa (02:12:30): Ken: Tried once. He's fast though.
Meraxa (02:12:36): Ken: But I'm stubborn...
VJockey (02:12:45): "Well Icy Blue's got those back mounted chargers on its back..."
VJockey (02:13:14): "I'm betting if they take a few shots they might short out in a bad way... enough to really get him to freak out"
VJockey (02:13:37): "And they're plugged into his rifle too so..."
Wyverncakes (02:13:49): Mizuki: "Sounds like a plan then..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:14:15): Dido: "…Leos. Try and expose his back towards the southwest bulkhead. I should be able to blow out those chargers..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:16:24): Leos, Dido, move now.
VJockey (02:18:35): "Hey Ice Cube! You're gonna get your but kicked by the last place Raven, betcha gonna feel reaaal stupid in the morning!"
VJockey (02:18:38): *butt
VJockey (02:19:13): *Leos takes a few shots at Icy Blue with his rifle, using his boosters in conjunction with kicking off from wall to wall to ceiling to floor to add some extra velocity to his movements. But he was just a distraction though, doing what he can to make sure that the enemy AC was pointed in juuust the right direction....+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:19:14): Dido carefully opens a communication link, types out a program modification, and then clicks send.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:19:25): Then she watches, and waits.
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:12): ???: "Who the hell are you even? Well, no matter. I'll take you on, no problem!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:44): Icy Blue zooms through space to evade Leos's shots, and returns fire, aiming exactly where Leos would be after kicking off walls.
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:45): React!
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:47): Also.
cubey@aol.pl (02:20:50): Dido - he's in position.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:21:15): "Hey! Ice Jackel!" Dido shouts. "I bet you think I'm a screw-up, right?"
Ishikar3 (02:21:19): #Leos
cubey@aol.pl (02:21:33): (no need, Yuuya)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:22:46): *Suddenly, the Arc Thorns that embedded themselves in the walls shoot out…and all fly point first towards Icy Blue's back!" ShelLancer then raises it's huge bulky Lance. "Lance Shock…Discharging…" &
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:23:17): (Clarification: the Thorns are aimed at the back mounted charger.)
Wyverncakes (02:24:13): Sara: "She actually set a trap like that...!"
VJockey (02:24:37): *Well the good thing about playing videogames with his brain? He's picked up a few new tricks. He grits his teeth at some of the force but he manages to 'cancel' his movement and does his best to redirect himself from the incoming shots!+
Meraxa (02:24:40): Ken: She's had to learn a few tricks whilst you were away.
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:07): Leos quickly evades the first blast, and more never come.
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:23): That's because Icy Blue is quickly shocked, and its energy backpack shorts out - with KARASAWA following suit.
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:37): ???: "The... fuck?!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:25:50): The Raven is reduced to a shocked state.
cubey@aol.pl (02:26:12): Suddenly!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:26:35): & "…Now!" a single arc of lightning shoots into the Raven's battery system! And much shocking is to be had!+
VJockey (02:26:59): "Oh.. Oh hey it worked!"
VJockey (02:27:00): "YES!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:27:04): Dido: "…but that was part of my plan!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:27:05): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Wijcnwzxuk
cubey@aol.pl (02:27:33): The backpack explodes, sending the AC drifting through space helplessly.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:27:34): "Good team-up, Leos! Let's get that container away from him!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:27:44): And then, ShelLancer has a barrage of machine gun rounds and photon rifle blasts firing at its back.
cubey@aol.pl (02:27:47): Dido, react.
cubey@aol.pl (02:27:55): The shots came from allies that came with Sara.

VJockey (02:28:10): "Yeah I-WHAT?!"
Wyverncakes (02:28:13): Mizuki: "What the, Dido get-"
Wyverncakes (02:28:19): "... Wait..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:28:26): Rejected.
cubey@aol.pl (02:28:41): ???: "So this is why you chose her as the third pilot." (not the same ??? as the Raven)
Peter Kampschroeder (02:28:46): Eva: "What are you doing?!"
VJockey (02:28:53): "A double cross?!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:28:56): In fact, that's a very familiar sounding ???.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:28:58): #"…WHAT THE–!"
Ishikar3 (02:28:59): Stella: "Sara, what are you doing? And who was that?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:29:22): Sara: "You no longer need me after all, do you?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:29:31): Sara's genoace charges forward.
Wyverncakes (02:29:41): MizukI: "Sara!"
tengusaur (02:29:42): Hetepheres: "Sara. What happened to you when you were away from Unity Group?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:29:50): Blasted back in her moment of trial, Dido bashes her faceplate against the console, cracking it a little. "Wha….Sara?"
VJockey (02:29:52): "N.. no way..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:29:53): No... it's only an outer shell of a genoace. Which quickly cracks, revealing a new unit emerging from underneath.
Meraxa (02:29:56): Ken: ...What... What...?
cubey@aol.pl (02:30:00): http://s1110.photobucket.com/user/Steamrollerssolveall/media/SolSavior/EChaos_zps5a96de86.jpg.html?t=1394320679
Ishikar3 (02:30:00): Yuuya: What are you talking about, do you know what Mizuki did after you were lost?
VJockey (02:30:07): "Sara? This is some kind of joke right?
VJockey (02:30:09): "
cubey@aol.pl (02:31:37): The EChaos's right arm is a massive drill, and it charges at Hetepheres just as Scaraber's shield changes to silver! React!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:31:53): "Sara?" Dido shakes herself to consciousness. "Stop! What are you doing!"
Meraxa (02:31:57): #Het
cubey@aol.pl (02:32:03): Approved.
cubey@aol.pl (02:32:31): ShelLancer takes heavy damage from the dastardly sneak attack. Good thing your armor is so thick - who knows what would have happened otherwise?
Peter Kampschroeder (02:32:34): Eva: "Ms. Harper, explain yourself."
Wyverncakes (02:32:48): Mizuki: "Sara... what are you...!"
tengusaur (02:33:05): * "Tch...!" Hetepheres swerves away from the incoming attack, trying to grab EChaos' arm with two of the hooks of her khopeshes and pull it away. +
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:33:10): "Sara. Where did you get that badass ride?" Dido asks softly, a sinking feeling in her gut.
Meraxa (02:33:17): Ken: Sara! *Suddenly, from behind the EChaos, the ScarleTiger - in Beast Form, using its claws to traverse about - leaps, attempting to use its weight to throw it off, and hassle with claws+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:33:27): "Who did you get it from?" Dido clarifies.
cubey@aol.pl (02:33:56): Thanks to Ken's quick reaction, both ScarleTiger and Scaraber are thrown in two seperate directions, the drill grazing them rather than penetrating either unit.
Ishikar3 (02:34:22): Yuuya: "Brainwashing or some other kind of mental conditioning perhaps. I guess it was a bit too much to hope she bridged dimensions on her own to escape."
cubey@aol.pl (02:34:35): Sara: "Heroes, humanity... they all have their own limitations."
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:23): Sara: "The Indalph are great, their power is almost limitless. Do you realize what they offered to me?"
Wyverncakes (02:35:34): Mizuki: "... Sara..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:35:43): Sara: "A lot more than just being a single pilot. One who was replaced, just by a mechanic."
Wyverncakes (02:35:46): "... You're..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:35:47): "…" Dido says eloquently.
Wyverncakes (02:35:56): Her fists are clenched tightly.
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:02): Sara: "No, I am not forced or conditioned through torture or brainwashing."
VJockey (02:36:03): "Y..."
VJockey (02:36:11): "You betrayed us...?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:12): Sara: "This is all that I do through my own will."
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:19): You get a view into her cockpit.
Wyverncakes (02:36:21): "Sara, your whole life's given you the ability to see heroes fight against evil! And win!"
Peter Kampschroeder (02:36:26): Eva: "You have forsaken mankind, then?"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:36:36): "That's what you'd think if you were brainwashed!" Dido protested. "Hell, I bet they gave you some kind of evil outfit with lots of leather too! Am I wrong?"
VJockey (02:36:49): [Leos voice sounded horrified, no not just that heartbroken, on the verge of tears.]
Meraxa (02:36:56): Ken: ...I... What I felt earlier... that wasn't just...
cubey@aol.pl (02:36:57): Sara: "Ability? To fight against evil?"
Ishikar3 (02:37:00): Yuuya: "Lies and false promises I'd bet. You have no idea what your disappearance did to Mizuki, Ken and Dido. We'll just have to wake you up and bring you back, should be simple enough."
Ishikar3 (02:37:29): Yuuya: "Not like we haven't done it before."
cubey@aol.pl (02:37:54): Sara: "Do not make me laugh, Mizuki. Solaris made me a pilot of its single toy. How is that thing able to fight against anything?"
VJockey (02:38:02): "Didn't we mean anything Sara?!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:04): Inside her cockpit, Sara lifts her eyepatch.
VJockey (02:38:11): "We were your friends!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:18): Sara: "I am not resentful. I have simply taken the logical choice."
VJockey (02:38:28): "FUCK LOGIC!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:33): Behind the eyepatch there is nothing. Her eye is missing indeed - but not for long.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:38:42): "…snap out of it, Sara!" Dido shouts, tears brimming in her eyes. "This isn't you! You're…Kind and brave! And caring! A hero!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:38:45): In her hand there is some kind of a biological... larva-like thing.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:38:54): "You can't be…" Dido's voice chokes off.
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:12): Sara: "I am not. There are no heroes, only people who lie to themselves."
Wyverncakes (02:39:16): Mizuki: "Sara, don't!"
Meraxa (02:39:20): Ken: ...
cubey@aol.pl (02:39:55): Sara: "Who do you call a hero? Yancy Beckett, Kanade Amou? Heroes have an unnerving capacity to turn dead in their line of work."
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:24): Sara: "Or perhaps the great general Hetepheres, forced to kill her own kin? Is this what it means to be a hero? To take choices that will tear you in half?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:29): Sara: "No."
cubey@aol.pl (02:40:37): She puts the symbiote into her empty eye socket.
tengusaur (02:40:42): Hetepheres: "...Are you done talking?"
tengusaur (02:41:11): Hetepheres: "Obviously, this is a decision she has taken on her own. About this, I have no doubt."
Ishikar3 (02:41:35): Stella: "Sara you don't know what the hell you're talking about right now, and you're about to make some of us very angry. You still have a chance to come back, please don't make us do this."
tengusaur (02:42:05): Hetepheres: "There is no point in any of us trying to persuade you, Sara. I know it will not work."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:42:05): "…you…" Dido rasps, a tear running down her cheek.
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:08): As the symbiote does its work, Sara's body starts to change and she rapidly turns into an Indalph.
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:09): http://s1110.photobucket.com/user/Steamrollerssolveall/media/SolSavior/SaraHarper_zps20532abd.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0
tengusaur (02:42:28): Hetepheres: "...Instead, we are going to kill you."
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:30): Sara: "Well then, for the sake of old times, I will not kill any of you. I just want you to see where I'm coming from."
Wyverncakes (02:42:41): Mizuki: "... Sara..."
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:45): More machines appear from the hole you used to enter the ship.
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:49): You are trapped!
Wyverncakes (02:42:55): Her voice chokes... before it twists into a hateful spat.
cubey@aol.pl (02:42:58): Ken, Mizuki, Eva, go.
Peter Kampschroeder (02:43:03): (What about that side hole Eva made?)
Meraxa (02:43:17): Ken: ...Sara... what you said about heroes... Do you really mean that...?
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:18): (That one is clear, but a bit small)
Wyverncakes (02:43:30): The DuskBird's left arm evelops itself in Void energy, and it charges at the EChaos!
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:35): Enemies (Ravens): The Wolf (lightly damaged), Icy Blue (heavy damage)
Wyverncakes (02:43:35): "Sara...!"
cubey@aol.pl (02:43:55): Enemies (Indalph): EChaos, Genoace x4, Daughtress x4, Huckebein mk II M x3
Ishikar3 (02:44:18): Yuuya: "Sara, you really did this of your own volition? Well we'll just have to show you how wrong you are."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:44:23): "…so you threw away your humanity." Dido says softly. "Because you were didn't want to make painful choices. Because you don't want to die someday."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:44:43): "So basically…"
Peter Kampschroeder (02:45:19): *Eva: "Please die." She fires off a few shots from her Beam Magna Rifle towards the incoming mooks, aiming to thin the herd a bit-then jinks to the side, so she can fire at Sara without hitting Mizuki.+
Wyverncakes (02:45:24): * "Sometimes you might think you know some one... but I know... that even if I saw what you experienced I wouldn't have taken the same steps! I guess that just means you weren't as strong as I hoped...! ABYSS... SANCTION!"+
Ishikar3 (02:46:37): VG: "An attractive offer, taking the "easy" way out of a conflict. But you forgot something important Sara. We've killed the Indalph before, they're not the invincible overlords you think they are."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:46:38): "…YOU'RE JUST A SILVER-TONGUED COWARD!" Dido roars, her entire body quivering with rage.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:47:01): @Mizuki?
cubey@aol.pl (02:47:05): Sara: "And you are a masochist."
cubey@aol.pl (02:47:06): Approved.
Wyverncakes (02:47:08): Just how twisted must the threads of fate and causality have been for this to happen?
cubey@aol.pl (02:47:37): A Daughtress and two of the genoaces explode, the rest counter with beam spray guns. React, Eva
Wyverncakes (02:47:42): The Abyss Empress the defender of humanity... while the granddaughter of Solaris's director -a woman with a pedigree of heroism- now doing this...!
VJockey (02:47:54): "..."
Peter Kampschroeder (02:48:01): (And her attack on Sara?)
VJockey (02:48:04): "I don't..."
VJockey (02:48:09): "I don't..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:48:24): *"YOU'RE A MASOCHIST!" Dido howls! ShelLancer's rocket motors fire, and it surges forward, Lance thrust out to ram right into the EChaos's hide!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:48:57): Spreading attacks between mooks and a boss? The EChaos quickly evades Eva's beams.
cubey@aol.pl (02:49:38): Sara: "We were partners for such a long time, did you forget already? I didn't. Flashbang!"
Peter Kampschroeder (02:49:59): *As the mooks return fire, Eva evades and keeps pressuring them with her beam rifle. That said, this halway is really rather more cramped than she'd like...+
cubey@aol.pl (02:50:30): One of the Huckebeins throws a small flare that explodes - blinding both Dido and the darkness-attuned Mizuki! Your machines are in danger of veering off course, or possibly into one another.
cubey@aol.pl (02:50:32): React, both of you.
Meraxa (02:50:46): #SolSisters
cubey@aol.pl (02:50:51): Approved.
tengusaur (02:51:17): Hetepheres: "Stay calm! Do not let your anger cloud your senses!"
Wyverncakes (02:51:27): Mizuki: "Tch-!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:51:42): "Ahhh!" Dido wails, spots dancing in front of her eyes. "Mizuki! Veer up!" Dido does the opposite and shifts down, flipping her feet up!+
Meraxa (02:52:02): Ken: Answer me! Sara! *Ken managed to avoid getting blinded by the flash, and so has the ScarleTiger rush in to give an extra push to keep his partners from colliding+
Wyverncakes (02:52:33): * The sudden blast of light wasn't great, but the DuskBird's wings flap fiercely so it can jerk up, more feathers being launched at Sara's location!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:22): Sara: "I mean every single word of it."
cubey@aol.pl (02:53:55): The EChaos escapes away from the feathers, gaining distance between the Unity Group combatants and itself.
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:10): Somehow, the Solaris machines manage to avoid crashing with each other, or the walls. And by somehow I mean with Ken's help
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:13): Ken can still move.
cubey@aol.pl (02:54:16): Hetepheres and Yuuya, also move.
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:12): Eva gets hit by the beam spray guns a few times, but fortunately they are not as powerful as their designers would hope.
Wyverncakes (02:55:16): (Also, about time we have some music. http://www.youtuberepeater.com/watch?v=vB9U6upbf5M&name=Double+Dragon+Neon+Official+Soundrack+Music+Boss+Skullmageddon)
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (02:55:17): "And what are the Indalph promising you?" Dido growls. "A political office? A really big house? A Dental Plan? A Harem? What the heck is worth doing this?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:24): They mostly push you away and cause non-essential damage.
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:33): On the other hand, another one is destroyed.
cubey@aol.pl (02:55:43): (Another Genoace)
tengusaur (02:56:15): * Hetepheres: "Support incoming." Suddenly, Scaraber throws one of its swords with lightning speed at one of the enemy Genoaces! Whether it hits or misses, Scaraber rushes forward and is suddenly right next to it, grabbing the blade and swinging it in a cleaving motion, cutting through the Mobile Suit and whatever other enemies are near! The rest of the swords follow. +
Peter Kampschroeder (02:56:29): Eva: "General...Should I bring out the Albatross?"
cubey@aol.pl (02:56:35): Sara: "What is worth dying for?"
tengusaur (02:56:39): Hetepheres: "Tell me, Sara. Who is piloting those units supporting you? Did the Indalph tempt more Earthlings than just you?"
Meraxa (02:56:47): Ken: ...Then you disgrace my family, and your own. For both these insults, I shall destroy you. STAND UP! Scarlet Shotels! *The weapons deploy mid-transformation, and Ken rushes in. A heavy series of slashes ensues, most of them feints... Trying to drive her into a wall so she won't escape!+
cubey@aol.pl (02:56:50): Sara: "I simply do the same thing, but in the end I live rather than sacrificing myself."
tengusaur (02:56:54): Hetepheres: (to Eva) "Do it."
cubey@aol.pl (02:57:37): The Genoace is cleaved, so is another Huckebein - but a second one tries to counter with a slash of its beam saber at the Scaraber! React.

cubey@aol.pl (02:57:47): Approved.
tengusaur (02:58:44): * A combination of a silver anti-beam Noble Barrier and a sword moving in to parry should take care of that, hopefully! The other three khopeshes, Hetepheres uses to stab right in the center of the Huckebein, and then slash into opposite directions. +
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:02): Sara: "You are so quick to change your opinion of me, Ken. Don't worry, there are no hard feelings from my side."
Ishikar3 (02:59:04): *Yuuya and the Argos flight push forward, Stella and VG rake the mass produced mecha with 36 and 120mm cannon fire and Tarisa pushes in to open a path through them. Yuuya follows through the gap and brings his sword down towards Sara's left arm. "You think you were replaced? Not in a thousand years you idiot!"+
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:21): The EChaos transforms into a dolphin-like form - which quickly rushes forward!
Peter Kampschroeder (02:59:34): *Eva sets the Genspenst to drift out of the way of the fight, at the general's command. There is that flash of green, and the black, angelic Albatross arrives again, on the edge of the battlefield. It fumbles a bit, gains its bearings, and then zips straight towards the Huckebein attacking Heph, its wrist-blade extended in a charging stab.+
Wyverncakes (02:59:44): Mizuki: "Sara... joining the Indalph is ridiculous."
cubey@aol.pl (02:59:49): It starts vibrating, and the TSFs' ordnance passing through it.
tengusaur (02:59:53): Hetepheres: (allies only) "Pay attention to the Ravens. If they are escaping, good. But do not let them backstab us in this situation."
Wyverncakes (03:00:04): "Their general they sent at us did not exactly put up much of a fight."
cubey@aol.pl (03:00:21): Sara: "I know every single thing your machines are capable of. Don't forget that!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:00:24): "Mizuki's right. And you're wrong, Sara." Dido says, a bit more calmly. "About everything. Especially about your life expectancy. It and the Indalph's has just gone down."
Peter Kampschroeder (03:00:45): Eva: "...Really?"
Wyverncakes (03:00:48): Mizuki: "Wrong answer."
Wyverncakes (03:00:55): "DIdo! Ken...!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:01:03): The dolphin-like robot passes through both Yuuya's TSF and Ken's ScarleTiger, taking only minimal damage from the fiery shotels - but leaving behind painful sonic aftershocks.
cubey@aol.pl (03:01:05): Both of you, react.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:01:25): "Right!" Dido says, flicking a few switches and ramping up the power in her Sol Reactor. "Ready when you are, guys!'
cubey@aol.pl (03:01:48): Hetepheres and Eva cut that Huckebein apart.
cubey@aol.pl (03:02:11): You can see some kind of nasty biological matter floating away from its cockpit block. No pilot's there.
Meraxa (03:02:16): Ken: Nnnnnngh...! I can... feel you... and you're wrong now...! *Ken braces against the aftershocks, reclaiming his shotels.*
cubey@aol.pl (03:02:34): It's the Indalphs' puppet, nothing more.
tengusaur (03:03:47): Hetepheres: "Good work."
Ishikar3 (03:04:16): *Yuuya boosts away from the shocks as his hearing and senses disoriented but seeing Mizuki and Dido in position he pushes Ken away and towards them as he takes up a shakey position. "You may know what I can do and how to stop it but I bet they've got a trick that'll work. And I can make enough of a speedbump to buy them the time they'll need."
Ishikar3 (03:04:18): +
Peter Kampschroeder (03:04:28): Eva: "We're not finished."
VJockey (03:04:29): "..."
tengusaur (03:04:46): Hetepheres: "No. But we will be soon."
cubey@aol.pl (03:05:52): Ken is pushed away, and takes little damage. But Shiranui is starting to shake itself apart from the inside! Fortunately the effect ceases soon after it begins so there is no critical damage yet.
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:00): Sara: "Interesting. That's a new model, isn't it."
cubey@aol.pl (03:06:13): Leos, Team SolSavior, go.
Wyverncakes (03:06:29): Mizuki: "Sara... it's about time."
Wyverncakes (03:06:44): "We're going to show you just exactly what you turned your back on!"
Wyverncakes (03:06:56): "Save our Sol-!"

The DuskBird dove towards the ScarleTiger, which in turn charged at the ShelLancer. In a flash the machines began to transform, the two gigantic legs extending from the Lancer's shell as the side opposite of it opened up and swung down, forming hips. The ScarleTiger -now forming an incomplete torso with a right arm- connected with the white machine. The contrasting colors mixed and flowed; red, orange, and white arranged perfectly.

And lastly the DuskBird docked with the ScarleTiger's back, nearly its entire form now that of a black arm radiating malevolence. From the combined machine's back the DuskBird's six wings unfurled, displaying their full size and granduer, and a white head framed in a black, avian helmet rose up from the robot's body. It punched out with one fist, its eyes flashing violet.

"-SOLSAVIOR!"
VJockey (03:07:12): "....."
Wyverncakes (03:07:53): MizukI: "Leos...!"
Ishikar3 (03:07:54): Yuuya: "New enough to last against your piddling attacks until they can finish you." The boast is rather hollow as the vibration and damage has blurred Yuuya's vision in the cockpit and made even seeing outside to the battle much more difficult.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:08:29): *"Shit!" Dido exclaims. "Mizuki, Ken! Let's get Yuuya some support!"
Wyverncakes (03:08:32): "I know it's hard..."
Wyverncakes (03:08:38): "... I know you might not think you can do it..."
Wyverncakes (03:08:42): "But you have to fight."
Wyverncakes (03:08:55): "I've known Sara my whole life... but if she's doing this..."
Wyverncakes (03:08:58): Cue visual!
Wyverncakes (03:09:09): There's tears running down Mizuki's otherwise furious face.
Wyverncakes (03:09:34): "... Even if she did this of her own free will..."
Wyverncakes (03:09:42): "That's no excuse to just let her keep doing it!"
VJockey (03:09:47): "...."
Wyverncakes (03:10:37): * SolSavior's eyes flashed once more, with the Abyss Gaze beams firing out straight at the EChaos!+
Ishikar3 (03:10:38): Stella: "She's lost now Leos, if we can stop her maybe we can bring her back."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:10:40): "We can always grieve later." Dido chimes in, voice tense and rasping. "But if we don't fight now, she'll just keep wrecking this world up!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:10:58): "You don't have to hate her, Leos. But you can't let her have her way!"
VJockey (03:11:16): "I... I can't deal with this...I..."
Peter Kampschroeder (03:11:18): Eva: "The punishment for treason is death."
VJockey (03:11:25): "...."
VJockey (03:11:41): "I...I'm going to do what we came here to do..."
tengusaur (03:12:19): Hetepheres: "If you cannot deal with killing Sara then engage her minions, or the Ravens."
VJockey (03:12:35): *Which is retrieving the damn container, which he's moving quickly towards, firing his laser rifle at anything that tries to intercept him.+
tengusaur (03:12:48): Hetepheres: "But this does not change the fact that we will not let her walk away from here."
cubey@aol.pl (03:15:55): EChaos quickly turns back into a humanoid form, which twists itself above the beam like it was trying to participate in high jump! Its drill points at SolSavior's direction - and from it, a countless amount of missiles shoots out! React.
Ishikar3 (03:16:09): #sol
cubey@aol.pl (03:16:13): Approved.
Wyverncakes (03:16:19): Mizuki: "Ken! Interception fire!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:16:21): At the same time, Leos tries to grab the container.
cubey@aol.pl (03:16:35): Prime: "And here I almost thought you forgot about us!"
Meraxa (03:16:58): Ken: Roger! *SolSavior raises its miniature crossbow, and lets loose a wide spread of sol energy bolts, as cover and counterattack!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:17:00): Unfortunately this means you're under crossfire - from one side, the Wolf's heavy cannons, from the other, the Icy Blue's still functioning (if barely) KARASAWA. React!
tengusaur (03:17:19): # Leos
cubey@aol.pl (03:17:24): Approved.
VJockey (03:18:15): "One of my friends who I thought was coming back just betrayed us"
VJockey (03:18:28): "I DO NOT WANT TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH YOU IDIOTS RIGHT NOW!!!!"
tengusaur (03:18:52): * "Do not think he is here alone." Suddenly Scaraber, protected by its now golden Noble Barrier, jumps between Pale Rider and the incoming physical cannonfire! Hetepheres draws her staff and spis it around, then fires several precise lasers from it at the incoming shells! +
Ishikar3 (03:19:01): *Yuuya brings up all three of his support cannons and rakes the missile field with them, firing and self detonating 120mm rounds in the largest concentrations.+
VJockey (03:19:24): *Leos dodges and weaves through the shots to fire lasers... aimed right down the barrels of the cannons as they were about to fire another set of rounds.+
cubey@aol.pl (03:19:50): Sara: "So this is SolSavior? I must say... in the end I am disappointed."
Ishikar3 (03:20:14): Yuuya: Really Sara, I told you I'd be able to hold out against you until they finished you, did you forget so quickly?
cubey@aol.pl (03:20:16): Interception fire successful! What few missiles survive deal only small damage to the super robot.
Wyverncakes (03:21:02): Mizuki: "Saturnia was writing it off too, right up until we tore off half her face."
cubey@aol.pl (03:21:06): At the same time - Hetepheres tanks the shots meant for Leos, with minimal damage to Scaraber, which means he can focus on evading the KARASAWA, which loses its rate of fire with each successful blast.
cubey@aol.pl (03:21:14): Sara: "So violent."
Wyverncakes (03:21:24): Mizuki: "We were trying to avenge you."
cubey@aol.pl (03:21:25): Leos' precise blasts cause explosions on the Wolf!
cubey@aol.pl (03:21:31): Prime: "Nooo! You asshole!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:21:45): The canons are no longer operational, explosions inside them causing more damage to the AC.
cubey@aol.pl (03:21:53): Eva, Hetepheres, Yuuya, go.
tengusaur (03:21:59): (enemy list?)
cubey@aol.pl (03:22:12): Enemies (Indalph): EChaos, Daughtress x3, Huckebein mk II M
cubey@aol.pl (03:22:25): Enemies (Ravens): The Wolf (heavy damage), Icy Blue (heavy damage)
tengusaur (03:22:27): Hetepheres: (to Leos) "Will you be able to handle this?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:22:32): Also.
cubey@aol.pl (03:22:35): Leos has the container.
VJockey (03:23:29): "...Yes..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:23:36): "I piloted ShelLancer because I thought that was what you'd do!" Dido shouts at Sara. "So stop playing dumb! You know full why we're pissed off!"
VJockey (03:23:36): "I can... I really need to vent..."
Ishikar3 (03:23:51): Yuuya: (to SolSavior) So if I make an opening for you all do you think you can follow up on it?
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:24:33): Dido flips some switches in her cockpit. "I think we can manage something!" She replies on a private comm line.
Wyverncakes (03:24:41): Mizuki: "You can... just be careful!"
tengusaur (03:24:56): Hetepheres: "Good. In that case..."
Peter Kampschroeder (03:25:44): *Eva fires off a spread laser blast towards the Indalph grunts, then jinks over alongside Leos. "You're not fighting alone." And she goes for Wolf, the wrist-blade extended once more.&
cubey@aol.pl (03:25:55): Sara: "I changed my mind, I'm no longer angry that you took my place as the pilot."
cubey@aol.pl (03:26:04): Sara: "You are free to do it."
VJockey (03:26:24): "I DON'T NEED YOUR HELP!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:26:32): The Daughtress mooks scatter around but one of them doesn't make it.
cubey@aol.pl (03:27:00): Prime: "Tch!" Seeing the Albatros approach, he fires his most reliable remaining weapon - another swarm of missiles. React/continue, Eva.
tengusaur (03:27:06): Hetepheres: "It is time to unleash Scaraber's full potential. Scarab Power!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:27:08): "…that's what this is about?" Dido growls. "I told you earlier, Sara! I wasn't trying to edge in on your gig!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:27:52): Sara: "I'm simply disappointed that you hope to defeat the Indalph with such a machine. They're not even humanity's enemies."
cubey@aol.pl (03:28:07): Sara: "Do you think the same offer that I agreed to, doesn't extend to the whole of you as well?"
Ishikar3 (03:28:19): *Yuuya begins to charge towards Sara, firing rounds to keep her just off balance enough to close with the machine. As he nears and Sara's unit he moves to swing with his blade...&
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:28:38): "And that offer is…?" Dido asks, a little curious despite herself.
cubey@aol.pl (03:28:49): There goes the drill again! It rotates and rotates and moves forward to thrust against Yuuya's blade. React/continue.
Peter Kampschroeder (03:29:00): *Eva: "Doesn't matter." She zips through the missile swarm, the Albatross's head laser cutting away at the missiles that are getting too close. When she draws up on the Wolf, she'll slice away at it with her sword-and then blast it point-blank with every single shot from her spread laser.+
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:29:00): @Yuuya?
cubey@aol.pl (03:29:35): Sara: "To become their general. They ask for loyalty - and offer conquests in an eternal conflict."
Ishikar3 (03:29:45): *Yuuya follows up by throwing his assault cannon and 120mm magazine into the drill's path following with his blade to push the drill wide.+ "Mizuki NOW!"
Wyverncakes (03:29:47): Mizuki: "We'll pass."
cubey@aol.pl (03:29:48): Approved, Dido.
Meraxa (03:29:56): Ken: ...Yeah we're really not the conquering type.
tengusaur (03:30:04): * A shockwave of energy emanates from the beetle-tastic mecha! Hetepheres turns around, towards Sara, grabs the staff with all four of her machine's hands, and launches forward, getting ready to swing the weapon over her shoulder. And then she suddenly does, when she's not close to any of the enemies. Instead, a very long laser blade extends from the tip, and the wide swings slashes in a circular motion, EChaos and its controlled Mobile Suits on the way of the attack! +
cubey@aol.pl (03:30:12): Sara: "You're certainly violent enough for... it?!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:30:17): The situation is turning sour on her.
tengusaur (03:30:22): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-aexLJKwME
Wyverncakes (03:30:28): "I don't plan on squandering the free life I got when the Void was destroyed to just be a lackey for someone else!"
tengusaur (03:30:33): Hetepheres: "Sara... Let us dance the dance of death."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:30:44): "Yeah." Dido agrees with a nod. "It sounds like too much work, Sara! No offense."
Meraxa (03:31:08): Ken: No, no, Dido, mean EVERY offense.
cubey@aol.pl (03:31:17): Albatros's armor is peppered by missiles. Eva manages to get rid of many of them, but not all - and her unit suffers for it.
cubey@aol.pl (03:31:24): But on the other hand, the Wolf is blasted time and time again.
cubey@aol.pl (03:31:39): The AC can't take the point blank assault and explodes.
VJockey (03:32:10): "And then... there was one..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:32:14): *And then, SolSavior arcs up towards the ceiling bulkhead, electricity arcing around it's outstretched leg! Rockets firing, it plummets towards the EChaos, armor-mounted rail-gun rounds and Arc Thorns firing at the moment of impact. "Spark Kick…Connecting!" Dido shouts, bracing herself for impact!+
VJockey (03:32:41): [Pale Rider almost seems to glare at Icy Blue as it turns to regard the remaining enemy AC.]
cubey@aol.pl (03:34:03): Yuuya's sacrifice of weaponry throws the drill away. That blade of yours has been damaged as well, I hope you have spares.
VJockey (03:34:45): "Yuuya... do you need another sword?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:34:58): The long laser blade slashes through the battlefield and cuts into EChaos, sending the machine flying back.
cubey@aol.pl (03:35:10): And then SolSavior's mass pins it to the ship's wall.
cubey@aol.pl (03:35:24): Not to mention all the damage from the impact!
Wyverncakes (03:35:50): Mizuki: "... This is it for you, Sara!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:37:01): Sara: "No, I don't think so."
Wyverncakes (03:37:06): Darkness swirls around SolSavior's left arm again in preparation for the Abyss Sanction!
cubey@aol.pl (03:37:24): EChaos quickly turns into a dolphin and phases through the wall, disappearing from your sight!
Meraxa (03:37:42): Ken: Shi-! She got away!
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:37:44): "Your chickens are…!" Dido begins to say. "Bwha?" She adds.
cubey@aol.pl (03:37:56): Sara: "The impact was really dangerous. On the other hand, I know everything about SolSavior now."
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:18): And it appears behind you, flying through SolSavior and disappearing inside a wall again.
Wyverncakes (03:38:22): Mizuki: "What?!?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:24): Sara: "Including its weak points!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:25): And again!
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:27): And again.
VJockey (03:38:49): #Solsavior?
cubey@aol.pl (03:38:52): And each time it passes through, a small sonic boom is centered on SolSavior's vital insides, with special care given to parts where the component machines connect.
cubey@aol.pl (03:39:00): Approved, for what it will do.
Wyverncakes (03:39:25): And unfortunately... a lot of those special parts are built into the DuskBird's throne-room.
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:40:06): "…Gahhhh!" Dido cries out, as her cockpit frame dents and compresses like a submarine below it's safe depth!
VJockey (03:40:32): *Leos grits his teeth as a dark expression settles over his face... what can he do? Well... Icy Blue is going to help... Involuntarily of course... he charges the enemy AC and rushes both it and himself into the Solsavior ro knock it out of Sara's path, keeping his grip on the Karasawa!+
VJockey (03:40:40): "Mizuki! Ken! Dido! Move!"
Wyverncakes (03:40:43): Mechanisms breaking down and bursting, SolSavior's left arm suddenly goes limp, the Void energy disappating as Mizuki cries in pain. The DuskBird is still part of her, and this much damage to it...!
Wyverncakes (03:41:27): Mizuki: "Can't...-!"
tengusaur (03:41:40): Hetepheres: "...Mizuki, can you separate?"
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:01): Unfortunately the Raven won't take this standing - he shots the plasma rifle several times before it clicks dry, and as Leos gets closer, he only advances further and slashes with the laser blade several times!
cubey@aol.pl (03:42:04): React to that as well.
Wyverncakes (03:42:48): Mizuki: "If we do... I don't know if we're going to be in a better or worse situation...!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:43:18): "…she will have more targets to choose from." Dido points out. "But that machine's a beast–!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:43:41): "Ken! Now would be a good time for an idea!"
VJockey (03:43:46): "Hey.... what's that on your face...?"
VJockey (03:44:19): *Leos doesn't have time to deal with this! He barely deviates off course and tanks as much damage as he can... and sends Pale Rider's free hand as hard as it could go right into Icy Blue's cockpit!+
VJockey (03:44:28): "MY FIST!!!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:45:41): Alarms and flashing lights turn Leos' cockpit into pure chaos as Pale Rider takes on more and more damage.
VJockey (03:46:10): [Doesn't matter. He wills them all off. He knows what's broken and what's not anyway.]
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:12): That laser blade actually takes off an arm - but the other arm punches into and through the cockpit, immediately bringing the whole show to a stop.
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:49): You now have an Armored Core improvised shield, and Sara actually slows down and pauses for a second as she sees THAT appearing out of nowhere between her and SolSavior.
cubey@aol.pl (03:46:55): You have a chance to react now.
cubey@aol.pl (03:47:05): SolSavior crew - what will you do?
cubey@aol.pl (03:47:14): Sara: "??"
Meraxa (03:47:58): Ken is... not sure... he's...he might have the speed to react but... how to hit? He's never had to... never had to...
VJockey (03:48:10): "Sara."
Meraxa (03:48:25): Clarity suddenly comes. There... might be something. "MIZUKI! Give me the control!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:49:39): Dido grins. "Ken! Do you need me to transfer more power?"
Wyverncakes (03:49:42): Mizuki: "... Have it! Best I can do...!"
Meraxa (03:51:50): Ken: Everything you can Dido. Everything. *Ken braces himself... and then he, and SolSavior both, take up a stance. Sideways on, the machine extends its length, and the pilot within...breathes.* You might know everything about what our machine can do... but not its pilots! *A power begins to resonate from within, as Ken awaits Sara's next pass&
Wyverncakes (03:52:06): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8BYBaDz0Ic
cubey@aol.pl (03:52:57): Sara: "What are you trying to do? This makes no sense!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:53:16): She does not hesitate for long - the EChaos charges forward, intent to go through the AC and SolSavior both.
cubey@aol.pl (03:53:19): React/continue.
Wyverncakes (03:53:37): Mizuki just laughs a little...
Wyverncakes (03:53:51): "It's something Ken's been working on for... quite a while..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:53:56): "Right!" Dido shouts. Then, in sing-song, she cries out. "Igor! Pull the Switch!" In another voice, she replies. "Yesh Master!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:54:35): She presses a button, and a heaping helping of Sol Energy rushes towards the right arm of SolSavior!
tengusaur (03:55:28): Hetepheres: "...What was that?"
Meraxa (03:56:29): Ken: This is... something you never saw. *And when it comes, the SolSavior steps around, letting momentum almost separate the two... until its right fist, teeming with power, comes swinging across. But its focused ina way the machine could never do...!* Shiranui...* And should it connect, then would come a second burst, powering through the existing punch!* RETSU KEEEEEEN!+
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:18): EChaos already went through IcyBlue, throwing the wrecked machine away.
cubey@aol.pl (03:57:45): Sara dodges the first swing - but the afterburst gets her!
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:04): It causes EChaos to spin to the side. It crashes against the wall again, unable to maintain its phasing.
Wyverncakes (03:58:40): Mizuki: "Light beats sound."
Wyverncakes (03:58:44): "Always has, always will."
cubey@aol.pl (03:58:48): Sara: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:22): Sara: "I must admit, it was foolish to understimate you. I'm sorry Ken."
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:31): Sara: "This will not happen again. The best is yet to come!"
cubey@aol.pl (03:59:42): EChaos, though heavily damaged, is still fast. And it tries to flee!
Meraxa (03:59:50): Ken: Speed of a Torao... Power of a Kohakuryu. Of course you underestimated me.
tengusaur (03:59:52): Hetepheres: "Do not even think of escaping!"
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (03:59:54): "…Sara…" Dido growls. "You're not getting away!"
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:06): Who wants to attack the fleeing EChaos, @ please.

VJockey (04:01:22): @
cubey@aol.pl (04:01:22): All approved by the way.
Peter Kampschroeder (04:01:47): *The Albatross turns its left arm towards the fleeing unit, firing off a spread laser barrage.+
VJockey (04:01:58): *Leos pulls the Karasawa from the dead weight of the Icy Blue... he has no idea if it would connect to the AC in time but he'd try to fire a few shots from it regardless. That and several missiles.+
tengusaur (04:02:34): Hetepheres: "If you do not wish to die, then stop and surrender. This instant." Scaraber aims its staff, firing a large, focused laser from its end, drawing it over EChaos's projected escape route! +
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:02:41): #"SARAAAAAAAAA!" Dido shouts, twitching Sol Savior's Sol Bodkin towards the fleeing Echaos…and shooting it in the back!+
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:37): The remaining Indalph-controlled machines form a defensive formation around the EChaos. They are quickly annihilated, but that gives Sara enough time to phase through a wall and disappear again.
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:45): She takes more damage in the process, but in the end...
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:48): She does not appear again.
cubey@aol.pl (04:04:59): She has escaped successfully.
Meraxa (04:05:10): Ken: ...She's too far now. I can scarcely feel her presence.
cubey@aol.pl (04:05:18): By the way, the Karasawa continues to only click dryly. The weapon seems broken. You might be able to repair it at home, maybe.
Wyverncakes (04:05:35): Mizuki: "... She'll be back..."
VJockey (04:05:43): "... Yeah..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:05:45): No hostiles remain, only the container.
cubey@aol.pl (04:05:52): It's a little shaken, but still whole.
tengusaur (04:05:57): Hetepheres: "..."
cubey@aol.pl (04:06:02): Its contents should be fine, and that's what you came here for, right?
Wyverncakes (04:06:07): "... You think you know someone..."
Wyverncakes (04:06:23): "... I just want to go home."
Ishikar3 (04:06:36): Yuuya: "Well I guess that's a win, not that I'd really consider is as such." The words come out with an obvious groan now that the adrenaline is starting to wear off
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:06:36): "…you and me both..." Dido mutters, rage spent.
tengusaur (04:06:37): Hetepheres: "What is inside the container? What were those Ravens willing to die for, and did?"
cubey@aol.pl (04:06:58): MISSION COMPLETE
Wyverncakes (04:06:59): She slumps back down on her pilot seat/throne... slouching awkwardly and resting a head on her hand.
VJockey (04:07:01): ".... Does it matter?"
tengusaur (04:07:20): Hetepheres: "It might."
Meraxa (04:07:23): Ken: ...Might be worth a look. Fairly sure we've earned that much...
Ishikar3 (04:07:48): Stella: "Why don't you do the honors Leos, it might be some clue."
tengusaur (04:08:20): Hetepheres: "I am not saying we should open it. Not in vacuum. That might damage whatever is inside."
VJockey (04:08:36): "...We'll check when we get back to the shuttle..."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:08:56): Dido reaches out with a trembling hand and unseals the helmet from her suit. She gasps for fresh breath, and breaths heavily, almost as if she's trying not to barf.
tengusaur (04:09:39): Hetepheres: "Let us return, then."
Ishikar3 (04:09:41): Yuuya: "Let's go then, I feel like my brain was shaken into slush that time, never thought I'd be up there with Leos for reckless behavior on a mission."
tengusaur (04:09:56): Hetepheres: "Sara... It is hard to believe that she was this weak-willed."
Peter Kampschroeder (04:09:58): Eva: "Try not to do it again."
VJockey (04:10:01): "Ha... I'm a bad influence."
Ishikar3 (04:10:27): Yuuya: "I still believe it was something more than her own weakness. But only time will tell."
Aldosalt.cole@gmail.com (04:11:35): "Jesus…" Dido says at last, with a hoarse whisper. "I still don't get it. That's the funny thing? Why would she do this? Why would anyone do this? I…I don't get it."
