The Battle.

[JP SylvrWolfe]

Something from the Space battle that occured on 4-21/4-22-07 in High Earth Orbit.

[2007-04-21 20:57:56] * @ice sets the shuttle down quietly just outside the Temple's Central Park entrance, and opens the wingdoor. He steps out of the dropship and stands just outside the door, flanked by a pair of armed SkyKnight security men.
[2007-04-21 20:59:27] * @tuesday is in his office at the moment because... um... was I supposed to meet you at the door?
[2007-04-21 20:59:43] * Drifter_Alan remains strapped to the strange dolly like thing, the hannibal lecter mask in place. He looks pissed off to be moved like this...one jackal guardsman wheels him along while two more flank him and retrieve Tuesday from his office.
[2007-04-21 21:01:08] * @tuesday is retrieved from his office and would walk with Alan down to the front area. Yep. That's what would happen. *nods*
[2007-04-21 21:01:17] <@ice> Stun only, boys. We're transporting a psychotic killer and his Doctor.
[2007-04-21 21:02:43] * @ice rests his hand against the butt of his own repulsor weapon. "...I don't want to start a war because some creep in an "I love me" jacket twitches wrong..."
[2007-04-21 21:03:31] * Drifter_Alan looks sideways at Tuesday. "This is not going to end well, Doctor...you'll see."
[2007-04-21 21:04:07] * @tuesday sighs, "Why do you say that, Alan?"
[2007-04-21 21:04:41] * Drifter_Alan doesn't get the chance to respond as his former teammates come upon Ice and his small security force.
[2007-04-21 21:05:15] <@ice> Doctor...psychotic lackey...We're ready to go.
[2007-04-21 21:05:39] <@tuesday> He's not psychotic and I will thank you to not refer to him as such.
[2007-04-21 21:05:54] * @ice motions for the two men to retrieve the dolly from the jackals and wheel it's occupant aboard. "Whatever you say, Doc. I know my orders."
[2007-04-21 21:06:26] * @tuesday sighs and gestures for the other jackals to stand down while Alan is taken from them by Ice's lackeys.
[2007-04-21 21:06:44] * Drifter_Alan wheezes slightly as they take him aboard the dropship.
[2007-04-21 21:07:00] <@ice> Let's get going, you're the last two 'guests' to arrive.
[2007-04-21 21:07:46] <@tuesday> Yep... fashionably late and all that.
[2007-04-21 21:07:49] * @tuesday follows
[2007-04-21 21:10:16] * Bowtie .. does something .. somewhere.
[2007-04-21 21:13:40] * Drifter_Alan is locked into a gravity sling, then locked behind a cage door. .oO(A killer and an animal to the last...how amusing.)
[2007-04-21 21:13:58] * @ice takes his seat at the controls while the armed security men take up seats near the door.
[2007-04-21 21:14:15] * @tuesday sighs and takes... some open seat.
[2007-04-21 21:15:50] * @ice proceeds to avoid the boring part...and jumps directly to the exciting bit where everyone jumps up to the Flagship SkyKnight, and is led to the meeting room where the other are already waiting. Ice falls NPC for now.

[2007-04-21 21:16:16] <@jpsylvr> ...So why the hell are we here? Does anyone care to answer me...any of you?

[2007-04-21 21:26:20] * @tuesday smirks, "Well, I think I'm here playing babysitter. Why do you think you are here, sir?"
[2007-04-21 21:26:43] <@jpsylvr> I don't got a goddamn clue.

[2007-04-21 21:27:18] *** Drifter_Alan sets channel #SilverKnightsRPG mode -o Christina
[2007-04-21 21:28:46] * Christina shakes her head and rubs her temples, "We're here because all of us, with our powers combined, will save Mr. Hyper from polution... or something like that."
[2007-04-21 21:29:00] <JPSylvr> ...Save...who from WHAT?!
[2007-04-21 21:29:29] <JPSylvr> Th' fuck you mean I'm here to save Frankenstien? It's bad 'nuff that I gotta sit here with igor an' his pet psycho!
[2007-04-21 21:29:59] <Christina> Well, would you rather I go off into space on my own and possibly die there without you ever knowing?
[2007-04-21 21:30:06] * Christina looks a little angry and hurt.
[2007-04-21 21:30:11] * Drifter_Alan raises an eyebrow and attempts to lean forward a bit in his restraints. .oO(Thomas is missing.)
[2007-04-21 21:30:39] <JPSylvr> Neither of us are goddamn superheroes. Neither of us are his goddamn Knights! Why are we involved at all?!
[2007-04-21 21:30:52] * @tuesday frowns. This wasn't what he expected this in this little trip.
[2007-04-21 21:31:44] * Christina sighs and says very calmly, "Because we are. And I'm pretty sure it was in my contract when I signed on with Mr. Hyper's company."
[2007-04-21 21:32:28] * JPSylvr sighs and sits back in his seat, squeezing the metal hand into a fist so tight it would cause damage to a normal appendage. "...Fine. But I'm gonna deck his ass when we find him."
[2007-04-21 21:32:40] <Christina> The hell you will.
[2007-04-21 21:33:33] * JPSylvr proceeds to let the subject drop.
[2007-04-21 21:33:43] * @tuesday sighs, "So why are Alan and myself here?"
[2007-04-21 21:34:00] * JPSylvr falls NPC for the time being.
[2007-04-21 21:34:02] *** JPSylvr changed nick to Ice
[2007-04-21 21:34:59] * Ice steps forward and politely clears his throat. "...quiet down, children. The Captain is on her way."
[2007-04-21 21:35:06] *** Drifter_Alan changed nick to JPSylvr
[2007-04-21 21:35:48] * Christina falls NPC
[2007-04-21 21:35:58] *** Christina changed nick to Luna
[2007-04-21 21:37:14] * Luna walks into the room all tall and captain like, "Thank you all for coming. I'm sure you all are a bit... confused as to why you would be selected to help in retreving my father."
[2007-04-21 21:37:28] * Ice salutes to Luna, and takes a seat at the table as well.
[2007-04-21 21:37:53] <@jpsylvr> Yer goddamn right I wanna know why the fuck I'm here! Neither Christina NOR myself belong in fucking outerspace!
[2007-04-21 21:39:33] * Ice sighs and shakes his head. "...chill out, kid.."
[2007-04-21 21:39:53] * Luna sighs, "I apologize for dragging you out here but your presence was needed. Ice, will you explain to them what you told me last night?"
[2007-04-21 21:40:26] * Ice looks exceedingly uncomfortable with the request as he stands up.
[2007-04-21 21:41:21] <Ice> Uh...to make it quick and painless. Your names came up specifically, as part of the demands made by who we believe is holding TJ hostage.
[2007-04-21 21:41:32] * Ice sits back down, falling dead silent again.
[2007-04-21 21:43:13] * Luna sighs, "Apparently our resident extra dimentional... dead guy is no longer dead and is making demands. All of us are strong enough to defend ourselves again him so there's no doubt in my mind that we will all return from this alive and unharmed. So sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride."
[2007-04-21 21:45:52] <@jpsylvr> ...enjoy...th...
[2007-04-21 21:46:04] * JPSylvr slams his mechanical hand down on the table hard, but bites his tounge.
[2007-04-21 21:46:59] * @tuesday raises an eyebrow, "So... you're exchanging us for your father?"
[2007-04-21 21:49:28] * Luna frowns, "I wouldn't dare exchange one life for another, even if it would be to save my father. We will ALL make it back to earth safe and sound."
[2007-04-21 21:50:00] <Ice> If it all goes well...not a single one of you will be setting foot off of this Ship. My men and I will see to it.
[2007-04-21 21:50:49] * @tuesday frowns and considers something for a moment before speaking again, "Well, seeing as how we may have to defend ourselves in this little escapade, would it be permissable for me to release Alan from his... restrantes?"
[2007-04-21 21:51:12] <Ice> ...
[2007-04-21 21:51:21] * Ice looks to Luna, obviously not liking the idea.
[2007-04-21 21:51:37] * @tuesday begins to say something... then stops, considering this for a moment.
[2007-04-21 21:51:43] <@tuesday> <<strike!!>>
[2007-04-21 21:51:52] * Luna begins to say something... then stops, considering this for a moment.
[2007-04-21 21:55:04] * Bowtie ends up walking through the same doors that Luna did. The only problem was, she had no idea he was on the ship. Because, well, he wasn't.
[2007-04-21 21:56:22] * Luna sighs, "You may. But keep in mind that one foul move will send him flying out of the airlock." she says, seeing as how her back would be towards the door.
[2007-04-21 21:56:38] <Bowtie> Are you ready yet?
[2007-04-21 21:56:40] * Ice immediately draws his repulsor when the door opens to reveal Bowtie.
[2007-04-21 21:57:03] *** JPSylvr changed nick to Drifter_Alan
[2007-04-21 21:57:08] * Bowtie walks on in and folds his arms, looking impatient. He doesn't stop to worry about Ice.
[2007-04-21 21:57:32] * Drifter_Alan struggles at his bonds, snarling low as he tries to attack the pretender.
[2007-04-21 21:57:46] * Luna spins around and glares at him, "Well, since you can come back from the dead, I shouldn't be surprised that you're here."
[2007-04-21 21:58:00] * Bowtie glances slowly over at Alan, and slowly grins, baring his teeth slightly, "Miss me?"
[2007-04-21 21:58:17] * @tuesday stands and places a hand on Alan's shoulder, "Remain calm. Please. I would like you to be able to return with me."
[2007-04-21 21:58:32] * Drifter_Alan snarls incomprehensibly in something that might pass for language if one were a neanderthal.
[2007-04-21 21:58:38] * @tuesday then glares at Bowtie as well 'cause it's the cool thing to do.
[2007-04-21 21:58:41] * Ice keeps Bow covered.
[2007-04-21 21:58:43] *** Ice changed nick to JPSylvr
[2007-04-21 21:58:56] <Bowtie> Aw, ain't that cute. Gonna buttfuck 'im, too?
[2007-04-21 21:59:04] <JPSylvr> Alright, Emowolf...th' fuck are you doing onboard this bucket?
[2007-04-21 21:59:30] <Bowtie> I'm the one with the destination in mind.
[2007-04-21 21:59:35] * @tuesday rolls his eyes, "Please... he is /so/ not my type."
[2007-04-21 21:59:47] * JPSylvr stands up, keeping his left hand in a tight fist.
[2007-04-21 21:59:53] * Bowtie wiggles his brows, "Am I?"
[2007-04-21 21:59:58] <Luna> And this destination is where?
[2007-04-21 22:00:06] <@tuesday> Oh, totally! Is that an offer?
[2007-04-21 22:00:10] * @tuesday grins.
[2007-04-21 22:00:15] <@drifter_Alan> Don't let him speak...don't let this imposter breathe...kill it now, kill it or let me do it myself!
[2007-04-21 22:00:44] <Luna> No! Not until he tells me where my father is!
[2007-04-21 22:00:50] * Drifter_Alan struggles harder at the bonds on the carrier, which really start to complain at his motions.
[2007-04-21 22:00:57] * Bowtie rolls his eyes.
[2007-04-21 22:01:27] <Bowtie> We'll have plenty of time for that later, Tuesday. In the interim, I suggest you spank it for Alan so he calms down.
[2007-04-21 22:02:19] <JPSylvr> Why don't we cut to the chase, wolf...where are we going?
[2007-04-21 22:04:32] * @tuesday tries to keep Alan calm.
[2007-04-21 22:04:59] * Luna stands and steps up to stand next to JP, looking a Bowtie a little sadly.
[2007-04-21 22:05:22] <Luna> <<strike>>
[2007-04-21 22:05:25] *** Luna changed nick to Christina
[2007-04-21 22:05:27] * Christina stands and steps up to stand next to JP, looking a Bowtie a little sadly.
[2007-04-21 22:05:31] *** Christina changed nick to Luna
[2007-04-21 22:06:07] * Drifter_Alan continues to snarl and struggle, Tuesday can feel strength that Alan does not typically display. Angry psycho.
[2007-04-21 22:06:41] * @tuesday growls, "Calm yourself!"
[2007-04-21 22:07:47] * Drifter_Alan thrashes, really not in control of this rage of his.
[2007-04-21 22:09:26] * @tuesday does the only thing he can think of and grabs Alan's chin and forces him to look him in the eyes, "No!"
[2007-04-21 22:09:38] *** Luna changed nick to Christina
[2007-04-21 22:09:41] <Bowtie> Bad dog!
[2007-04-21 22:09:44] <Bowtie> Sit!
[2007-04-21 22:10:04] * Drifter_Alan does what any caged animal does. He tries to bite Tuesday's face off...betcha he's glad that mask is still on.
[2007-04-21 22:10:21] * @tuesday growls, .oO(Dammit, Tuesday! Why the hell would you do that??)
[2007-04-21 22:10:38] *** JPSylvr changed nick to Ice
[2007-04-21 22:10:42] * @tuesday sighs and steps back.
[2007-04-21 22:11:00] * Ice stands up, wheels on one foot, and fires in one smooth motion. He fires off another brilliant orange blast from that weapon of his.
[2007-04-21 22:11:55] * Drifter_Alan goes out like a light, eyes rolling way up into his head before he goes completely limp. The weapon creates a brief off orange puddle of discharged energy in his stomach area...Ice hit a spot that was only exposed by 2 inches.
[2007-04-21 22:12:20] <Bowtie> That works.
[2007-04-21 22:12:21] * @tuesday turns on Ice, "What the HELL was that for??" he yells, eyes glowing brightly.
[2007-04-21 22:12:37] <Ice> Stow it, Doc. I'm sorry, but he was clearly unstable...
[2007-04-21 22:12:42] *** Drifter_Alan changed nick to JPSylvr
[2007-04-21 22:12:57] <@tuesday> He was still restrained! It wasn't like he could have done anything!
[2007-04-21 22:13:04] *** Christina changed nick to Luna
[2007-04-21 22:13:15] * Bowtie checks a watch that isn't there.
[2007-04-21 22:13:28] <Luna> That's enough, Dr. DeWhitdecater. What's done is done and we have a job to do.
[2007-04-21 22:13:35] * @tuesday fumes and sits down next to Alan.
[2007-04-21 22:14:59] * JPSylvr remains standing and quite still for now, but the spot where his hand meets the table is now frosted over lightly, along with a few centimeters around it.
[2007-04-21 22:15:18] * Luna turns to Bowtie, "Lead the way, if you will."
[2007-04-21 22:15:23] <Bowtie> Finally!

[JP SylvrWolfe]

[2007-04-21 22:15:44] * Bowtie points his body towards the bridge, and walks that way.
[2007-04-21 22:16:14] * Ice stands and accompanies Luna and Bowtie towards the bridge, weapon drawn and pointed at Bow's back.
[2007-04-21 22:16:33] * Luna follows, arms crossed over her chest.
[2007-04-21 22:17:05] * @tuesday stays with Alan, grumbling.
[2007-04-21 22:17:12] * JPSylvr waits for the trio to exit, then starts towards the crazy dude. "...kids nuts."
[2007-04-21 22:17:36] * @tuesday growls, "You would be too if you had to deal with what he has had to deal with."
[2007-04-21 22:17:45] * JPSylvr raises his left hand, and extends five blades that pass for 'claws' on the mechanical replacement, and proceeds to start cutting Alan loose. "Probably."
[2007-04-21 22:17:46] *** Luna changed nick to Christina
[2007-04-21 22:18:06] * Bowtie heads on to the bridge in silence. Meanwhile, somewhere on Earth, a certain laptop chimes as the operating system that doesn't exist boots. The laptop opens itself.
[2007-04-21 22:18:52] * Christina watches, "Well, at least the creepy feeling has moved on... how long do you think he's going to be out for?" she asks, nodding to Alan.
[2007-04-21 22:19:10] * JPSylvr finally cuts away the last of the bonds holding Alan in place, and hefts him into a chair roughly.
[2007-04-21 22:19:57] * Ice reports to his station...as engineering calls up. "Captain, GATE system and FTL drives are online and charged...waiting for flight solution."
[2007-04-21 22:19:57] * @tuesday looks sadly over Alan, "He was doing so well too..." he mutters.
[2007-04-21 22:20:06] *** Christina changed nick to Luna
[2007-04-21 22:20:12] <@jpsylvr> From where I'm sitting...thek kid is doing fine still.
[2007-04-21 22:21:16] * Luna nods, "Very good. Now Mr. Wolf, if you would, direct us as to where we should be going."
[2007-04-21 22:21:31] * JPSylvr then slices away the mask straps, and resheathes the claws. "Means he's got convictions...reasons to do what he does. Real fire in his heart n' shit like that; I'd rather have him where I can use him, aside of being trapped in some kinda wheely-bob."
[2007-04-21 22:22:03] * @tuesday nods, "I agree."
[2007-04-21 22:22:28] * Bowtie steps up to the navigation console, telling the helmsman, "Get out of my way."
[2007-04-21 22:22:31] <@jpsylvr> Just so we're clear, I turn out to be wrong, I'm going to flatten him myself.
[2007-04-21 22:22:58] * Ice only keeps his weapon trained on Bow as the helmsman looks back to Luna for the okay.
[2007-04-21 22:23:11] * @tuesday nods, "I understand."
[2007-04-21 22:23:19] * Luna nods once, giving her okay.
[2007-04-21 22:23:37] * Ice tenses more as the helmsman gets up, and makes way for Bow to sit.
[2007-04-21 22:25:17] * Bowtie sits down. On Earth, the laptop in question flashes to it's screen saver .. that good ol' purple swirling lightning rift. The lights in the room go out, as somehow, the laptop seems to be drawing a lot of power. DINEX would know about this one in short order.
[2007-04-21 22:25:49] *** Ice changed nick to DINEX
[2007-04-21 22:29:07] <DINEX> **WARNING: Object detected in Knights Castle. Powerdrain in sub-grid 33. Isolating grid now. ** (this would be broadcast to Luna's personal comm in her right ear breifly)
[2007-04-21 22:30:35] <@jpsylvr> He'll be fine...from what I can tell, he sure ain't dead. You want to take a closer look, "Doc"?
[2007-04-21 22:31:14] * Luna acknowledges what DINEX has informed her off and lets her do her thing.
[2007-04-21 22:31:31] *** DINEX changed nick to Ice
[2007-04-21 22:31:50] *** Ice changed nick to EngineRoom
[2007-04-21 22:31:57] * @tuesday checks to see how the chest wound in healing up and if he's ripped anything and so on and so forth.
[2007-04-21 22:32:12] <EngineRoom> ~~We're still waiting on a solution, Ma'am...FTL and GATE are still charged.~~
[2007-04-21 22:33:11] * Bowtie inputs the coordinates, and once that is finished, he stands from the station gesturing for the helmsman to retake his seat. On Earth, the laptop continues drawing power. If necessary, it will expand beyond the isolated grid to consume as much as it can. The laptop itself actually changes in appearance. It gains what look like several bullet holes, and burn marks. A purple light glows from inside the holes and disrupted portions.
[2007-04-21 22:34:20] *** EngineRoom changed nick to DINEX
[2007-04-21 22:34:39] * DINEX shuts down grid after grid, carefully isolating the object with mild interest.
[2007-04-21 22:34:48] *** DINEX changed nick to Ice
[2007-04-21 22:35:07] * @tuesday sits back down with a sigh.
[2007-04-21 22:36:35] * Ice watches the helmsman take his seat, and punch the input command. Somewhere inside the ship, DINEX's sister processor begins the rapid calculations to determine the quickest GATEjump...followed by the lance of light from the Bow mounted projection unit, then the GATE itself begins to iris open slowly...large enough to swallow the massive Flagship. ~~GATE locked...system online and ready.~~
[2007-04-21 22:40:18] <@jpsylvr> So we go and retrieve TJ...from where? I still ain't heard where.
[2007-04-21 22:40:32] *** Tuesday changed nick to Christina
[2007-04-21 22:41:11] * Luna nods, "Proceed."
[2007-04-21 22:41:39] * @christina sighs, swinging her legs a bit from her seat, "Bowtie's the only one who knows."
[2007-04-21 22:41:39] * Ice falls NPC as the ship engages her propulsion drive, and slowly makes her way through the gateway.
[2007-04-21 22:41:44] *** Ice changed nick to Drifter_Alan
[2007-04-21 22:41:52] * Luna falls NPC as well.
[2007-04-21 22:42:06] *** Christina changed nick to Tuesday
[2007-04-21 22:42:09] * Drifter_Alan mumbles to himself as he starts to wake up.
[2007-04-21 22:42:12] *** Luna changed nick to Christina
[2007-04-21 22:42:26] * @tuesday looks over at Alan in a worried manner.
[2007-04-21 22:42:49] <@jpsylvr> When we're done with this, that fuckin' fuzzball has a shitload to answer for.
[2007-04-21 22:44:16] <@tuesday> When this is over, I doubt he'll even be around.
[2007-04-21 22:44:28] <@tuesday> <<fucking strike>>
[2007-04-21 22:44:37] <Christina> When this is over, I doubt he'll even be around.
[2007-04-21 22:44:57] * JPSylvr mutters.
[2007-04-21 22:45:05] * Bowtie closes his eyes and concentrates. A few moments later, a beam of energy fires from the laptop, out of the castle, into space, and right into Bowtie himself. He in turn focuses the energy into the ship, into a station he's standing near, which channels into the beam of energy that opened the iris. The opened GATE changes, suddenly, turning into a massive chaos rift that the ship is heading right for.
[2007-04-21 22:45:21] <Drifter_Alan> Thomas...finished his design...it would seem.
[2007-04-21 22:45:24] *** Drifter_Alan changed nick to DINEX
[2007-04-21 22:47:10] * DINEX shuts down the drive and engages manuvering thrusters immediately, as the Endeavour moves into position to open fire on the gateway that has opened. The flagship begins to turn smoothly away from the gaping maw. ~~Sorry, folks...but this is a command override from DINEX. TJ's orders, we aren't going to lose any of our fleet to that hole.~~
[2007-04-21 22:47:33] <Bowtie> NO.
[2007-04-21 22:47:40] *** Christina changed nick to Luna
[2007-04-21 22:47:59] * Luna smiles, "Thank you, DINEX. That was most appreciated."
[2007-04-21 22:48:13] *** DINEX changed nick to CaptainArcanus
[2007-04-21 22:48:35] * @tuesday smiles, "Yes, I suppose he has."
[2007-04-21 22:48:40] * Bowtie 's eyes snap open, and they are little individual chaos vortices, just as they were when "he" made "his" first appearance back in the forest. He snarls, and attempts to shove his claws directly into the computer systems. If successful, he begins fighting DINEX directly for control of the ship.
[2007-04-21 22:49:09] <CaptainArcanus> ~~SkyKnight, this is Endeavour. Sorry that you had to be right, Ma'am. Main railguns and highspeed bolters are online and awaiting your order to open fire."
[2007-04-21 22:49:26] * JPSylvr shudders when the deckplates shudder. "...that...did not feel good."
[2007-04-21 22:50:31] -CaptainArcanus- Dinex is no slouch, and she does force controls from one bank to another, 'grinning' inside her databanks as she plays keepaway with the master ship control.
[2007-04-21 22:51:29] <Luna> Ice, you may open fire.
[2007-04-21 22:51:36] *** CaptainArcanus changed nick to Ice
[2007-04-21 22:51:52] * @tuesday stands suddenly, "No, sir, it did not. Shall we go see what's up?"
[2007-04-21 22:52:14] * Ice opens fire, more crimson to the beam this time, meaning to do more damage than 'stun' or repulse like before.
[2007-04-21 22:52:37] <@jpsylvr> Alright...let's move. Stina, you stay here with th' kid for now.
[2007-04-21 22:53:01] *** Luna changed nick to Christina
[2007-04-21 22:53:02] * Christina nods, "As you wish." she says, sitting still.
[2007-04-21 22:53:08] *** Christina changed nick to Luna
[2007-04-21 22:53:41] * @tuesday follows JP for a fighter, he is not. Sometimes... yeah.
[2007-04-21 22:54:21] * Bowtie tries a different game suddenly, and that is to cut down all the power to the ship's thrusters, as the chaos vortex *is* open. And they do tend to .. suck... Bow himself is then shot, and the weapon does damage this time. He stumbles forward against the console, and then falls onto his back on the floor.
[2007-04-21 22:54:44] * JPSylvr grins, and begins tearing out of his clothes as he goes dashing out the door...shifting into his large wereform.
[2007-04-21 22:54:47] *** JPSylvr changed nick to JPSylvrWolfe
[2007-04-21 22:55:17] <Luna> Hmmm... I almost didn't expect that to work. DINEX, return power and pull away quickly, if you would.
[2007-04-21 22:55:36] * @tuesday follows all priest like!
[2007-04-21 22:55:58] * Bowtie isn't unconscious. He slowly grins, "... Never .. that .. easy. To escape from the grasp of Rak'eLoth."
[2007-04-21 22:56:46] * Ice smiles thinly, and starts for Bowtie as down in engineering, Michael forces machines to do his bidding, repairing damage as it comes to the engine's systems. ~~Captain! We've lost power to manuvering thrusters...repairs underway!~~ Arcanus responds next, ~~Ma'am...we're dectecting a power loss in your thrusters. We're powering our main cannon to blow that damn thing closed...along with the modified torpedoes.~~
[2007-04-21 22:58:29] * Bowtie looks up at Ice from the floor, slowly, and shakes his head. He disappears, leaving behind a little dissipating cloud of black smoke, at the same moment, reappearing behind Ice, standing. He attempst to hit the big man in the kidney with strength he shouldn't have... even for a werewolf.
[2007-04-21 22:58:42] * JPSylvrWolfe goes running, paws thudding against the plates dully as he heads for the bridge. "Let's move Jackal boy..." Alarms begin ringing all over SkyKnight as the chaos ensues...SkyKnight is now at full red alert.
[2007-04-21 22:59:26] * Ice is nailed in the kidney, causing the large man to go stumbling back, dropping the repulsor device as he's struck.
[2007-04-21 23:00:28] * @tuesday runs as well, shifting and stuff like that! Woo hoo, naked people! ^.^
[2007-04-21 23:00:42] * Luna barks out orders and kinda falls NPC
[2007-04-21 23:00:49] *** Luna changed nick to Christina
[2007-04-21 23:00:49] -Bowtie- Meanwhile, the massive swirling rift begins to shoot it's arcs of lightning-type energy out into space, striking anything nearby with damage similar to plasma weaponry. Arcanus might notice the rift, despite this power, is not exerting any further gravity, nor is it growing in size.
[2007-04-21 23:01:14] * Bowtie attempts to grab Ice by his clothing, and then to lift him off his feet, and throw him at Luna.
[2007-04-21 23:01:15] *** Tuesday changed nick to TuesdayJackal
[2007-04-21 23:01:49] * Ice is lifted...but that's when the heavy boot goes flying towars Bow's solar plexus, the nexus for disconnexus of th' breathing...or something like that.
[2007-04-21 23:02:45] * Christina would notice the stuff going on within the ship and frown... she probably should be involved in this... but what about the wolf dude?
[2007-04-21 23:02:52] <Christina> <<wolf=jackal>>
[2007-04-21 23:03:37] * Bowtie notices the hit coming in, and when it connects, Bow doesn't even seem phased. He adjust his approach and attempts to continue to send Ice on his course towards the ship's commander.
[2007-04-21 23:05:26] -Bowtie- Back on Earth, the laptop is a smoldering powerless mess, still displaying obvious signs of weapons damage, both from a gun or two and a repulsor.
[2007-04-21 23:05:45] *** Gabriel`Coven quit (Exit: Your I.Q. must be THIS high to ride teh internets.)
[2007-04-21 23:06:35] * Ice goes barreling into Luna at that point, smashing into her and probably rolling some afterwards.
[2007-04-21 23:06:58] * @tuesdayjackal leaps from behind Bowtie and attempts to knock him down! I think...
[2007-04-21 23:07:09] <@tuesdayjackal> <<strike>>
[2007-04-21 23:07:56] * JPSylvrWolfe makes a beeline for the bridge. How does he know where to find the brigde? Nerds guide to massive shipbuilding states that the main bridge of any ship is always the busiest and most central point on the ship...that, and always follow the gold "Command" lines. He makes his way to the bridge doors quickly.
[2007-04-21 23:08:34] * Bowtie subsequently tears through a couple of NPCs that try to stop him, "YOU WILL NOT STOP US!"
[2007-04-21 23:09:16] * Ice is knocked out by another flying NPC who smacks his head up.
[2007-04-21 23:09:20] *** Ice changed nick to Drifter_Alan
[2007-04-21 23:09:36] <Christina> Umm... Mr. Alan? I think we should go help...
[2007-04-21 23:09:43] * Bowtie gets his claws and teeth bloody.
[2007-04-21 23:10:19] * @tuesdayjackal tears after JP, staying normal... for now. But who knows when his anger will get to him and he like... goes nuts or something. Yep.
[2007-04-21 23:10:24] * JPSylvrWolfe waits for the doors to woosh open and goes tearing in to find not the calm and collected mass of officers doing the BSG thing...but a bloody mess. "...RrrrRRRRRAAAAAAAAAARRRR!!!" He goes charging in, left fist pulled way back, ready to assert himself.
[2007-04-21 23:10:49] -Bowtie- Meanwhile, out in space, the lightning bolts attempt to take out the ship's ability of powering away from the rift. Eventually, they seem to stop, and the rift's maw seems to glow brighter, as it's pull increases on the starship, trying to drag it in.
[2007-04-21 23:12:21] * Bowtie snaps his attention towards JP's rather obvious warning of approach. He turns his attention that way, snarlgrins with blood dripping off his muzzle, and growls as well, preparing a block for the left arm whilst setting up his left hand to be driven, claws out, straight into JP's exposed belly.
[2007-04-21 23:13:46] *** Drifter_Alan changed nick to CaptainArcanus
[2007-04-21 23:14:48] * CaptainArcanus calmly points to the target. "...Open fire. All railcannons, guns, and nano-torps, concentrate on the center. Repulsor arrays, knock on the sides, see if we can collapse the thing."
[2007-04-21 23:14:56] *** CaptainArcanus changed nick to Drifter_Alan
[2007-04-21 23:15:28] * JPSylvrWolfe throws the punch, extremely overprojected, leaping as he does so. Claws extended, he pulls his right hand around and waits for the moment where Bow will take the bait...
[2007-04-21 23:16:15] -Bowtie- The instruments of Endeavor, if monitored closely, will show a small decrease in the amount of power being put out by the rift. That is, until, they drop weapons fire on it. The railguns and standard weaponry do nothing, however, the torpedo explosions and repulsor arrays actually cause a net increase in the power output, which is immediately cut down and returned to Endeavor...
[2007-04-21 23:16:30] -Bowtie- In the form of plasma (lightning) bolts directed at her hull.
[2007-04-21 23:16:45] *** JPSylvrWolfe changed nick to CaptainArcanus
[2007-04-21 23:17:29] * Bowtie adjusts, blocking the left arm, and keeping his own left open for JP's right. He twists, trying to force JP's weight and velocity to keep moving .. right past Bowtie and into whatever's behind him.
[2007-04-21 23:18:10] <@captainarcanus> Point defense sheilds! Bring us around for a broadside run with the railcannons, and let's keep SkyKnight out of that maw...one more trip to hell will not kill us. Bring the modified jammer online and we'll see what we can do about cutting this thing apart...
[2007-04-21 23:18:20] * @tuesdayjackal would now attempt to leap for Bowtie, claws out, while he flings JP behind him!
[2007-04-21 23:19:14] * CaptainArcanus goes up and over, surprised that Bowtie would go for the judomove as opposed to the direct kill...so the freezing touch of his fingers and claws only manages to graze Bowtie's upper shoulder during the throw...if even that much.
[2007-04-21 23:19:24] *** CaptainArcanus changed nick to JPSylvr
[2007-04-21 23:19:32] * JPSylvr goes up and over, surprised that Bowtie would go for the judomove as opposed to the direct kill...so the freezing touch of his fingers and claws only manages to graze Bowtie's upper shoulder during the throw...if even that much. <<REPOST>>
[2007-04-21 23:19:59] * Bowtie was expecting JP's attack, regardless of what it was, so it does nothing to him. Tuesday's attack he is completely unprepared for. Come what may...
[2007-04-21 23:22:02] -Bowtie- The rift ceases "firing" at Endeavor, for the moment, as energy is directed into sucking SkyKnight in. When Arcanus fires the railguns, again, no noticeable impact is shown. Several plasma bolts once again fly out at the attacking ship, like a person trying to swat at a fly, but as the energy is utilized, the drag on SkyKnight again decreases.
[2007-04-21 23:22:36] * Drifter_Alan slowly stands, looking a bit wobbly.
[2007-04-21 23:23:26] <Drifter_Alan> Tell me, what is going on?
[2007-04-21 23:23:39] * Drifter_Alan looks towards Christina with those murderous eyes.
[2007-04-21 23:23:52] * @tuesdayjackal would land, sending Bowtie to the ground with Tuesday on top (Yaoi moment?) and would end up not doing much beside digging his claws into Bowtie's shoulders and probably causing his head to hit rather hard against the ground. He would then pull his arm back and attempt to knock said head off.
[2007-04-21 23:24:47] <Christina> The ship stopped... Tuesday and JP went to the ship where Luna, Ice and Bowtie went... I was going to go help them but I was told to watch you.
[2007-04-21 23:24:58] * JPSylvr bounces rather heavily off the front screen/window/whatever it is really, and slumps down...growling low and rythmic as he tries to regain his composure to re-engage the enemy.
[2007-04-21 23:25:37] <Drifter_Alan> That is not Bowtie...that is a monster, a hollow and vile creature created in the image of my former friend. This abomination pales in comparison to my own...and I will strike it down myself.
[2007-04-21 23:26:02] * Bowtie yells out as he's slammed down, and blood pours from the claws embedded in his shoulders. After a moment, though, he reopens those rift eyes, which should bring back a billion bad memories to Tuesday, and he grins. He locks eyes with Tuesday, and attempts to make him believe he's back in the Kaerwyn woods. Bow .. starts looking like Michael, in armor, at Tuesday's mercy .. but only seems that way to Tuesday, of course.
[2007-04-21 23:27:08] * Drifter_Alan stands up the rest of the way, one brilliant gold eye and one perfectly cold blue eye showing no hints of blind madness, but rather a cold and calculated bloodlust that would send chills to your very core. "Stand aside or follow...I do not care."
[2007-04-21 23:27:10] * @tuesdayjackal , not expecting that, would pull back and off quickly, unwilling to remove his mate's head from his shoulders.
[2007-04-21 23:27:21] <Christina> I'll lead.
[2007-04-21 23:27:28] * Christina jumps up and leads the way out!
[2007-04-21 23:28:21] * Bowtie removes this level of "control" from Tuesday. He's Bow again, on the floor, and he's snarling... and sending a right clawed hand up to Tuesday's neck in an attempt to dig into his flesh and rip out his throat.
[2007-04-21 23:28:24] * Drifter_Alan follows, pausing only long enough to rip the shroud from his left arm. The scars still look as if they are fresh...and he smiles in a slow, disturbed way before following behind the woman.
[2007-04-21 23:28:46] -Bowtie- The rift loses a touch more power for no apparent reason at all.
[2007-04-21 23:29:23] * JPSylvr leaps from all fours at Bowtie, snarling loudly as he does. He moves to dig his wolf claws into Bow's spine, the frost showing along the claws in a most disturbing manner.
[2007-04-21 23:29:29] *** JPSylvr changed nick to JPSylvrWolfe
[2007-04-21 23:29:37] * Bowtie is kinda pinned to the floor...
[2007-04-21 23:29:40] *** Drifter_Alan changed nick to CaptainArcanus
[2007-04-21 23:30:00] * JPSylvrWolfe is actually aiming for his head...yeah.
[2007-04-21 23:30:14] * @tuesdayjackal stumbles back and falls on his ass, looking quite undignified but at least his neck is safe.
[2007-04-21 23:30:52] * Christina lets her alien form into a blade of some sort as she runs for the bridge, eventually arriving.
[2007-04-21 23:31:05] * Bowtie wasn't expecting JP to recover so quickly, and he was focused on Tuesday, so JP's attack will hit. Come what may.
[2007-04-21 23:31:29] * JPSylvrWolfe digs in his claws to Bow's scalp, and tries to literally give him brainfreeze.
[2007-04-21 23:33:23] * CaptainArcanus only nods grimly as the Endeavor wedges itself between SkyKnight and the gateway, firing round after round of magnetically accelerated bullets and huge slugs of metal at the gaping maw of the beast. Point defense sheilds come together to block lightning strikes as they arrive, managing to defend the ship for the most part. They continue to struggle to find the perfect spot to engage their 'jammer'...many tec
[2007-04-21 23:33:27] *** CaptainArcanus changed nick to Drifter_Alan
[2007-04-21 23:34:23] * Drifter_Alan joins Christina and smiles thinly. "Beyond this door...lies an imposter with impossible strength. Strength he gains from an anchor...where he is from, it was a forest of dementia. Here, who knows what it may be."
[2007-04-21 23:34:29] <Drifter_Alan> <<technicians running calculations on computers far less powerful than DINEX.>>
[2007-04-21 23:35:43] * Christina nods and enters through the door and just kinda... looks a the madness for a moment.
[2007-04-21 23:36:16] * Bowtie gets brain freeze. His head completely freezes, and he stops moving, his body twitching slightly until it ultimately comes to an unexpected rest.
[2007-04-21 23:36:43] * JPSylvrWolfe yanks his claws out from the frost, growling low.
[2007-04-21 23:37:46] -Bowtie- The rift continues to pull at both ships. Now, the problem is, Endeavor may be able to hold position, but SkyKnight, without thrusters, is going to continue "on course" towards the rift. Collision alert? Meanwhile, Endeavor's weapons fire does nothing. The rift's gravity well is reduced dramatically... followed by several plasma strikes ten times the power of the previous bursts, aimed at Endeavor's own thrusters.
[2007-04-21 23:38:24] * Drifter_Alan strides slowly onto the bridge, staring at the imposter Bowtie.
[2007-04-21 23:38:32] *** JPSylvrWolfe changed nick to CaptainArcanus
[2007-04-21 23:40:41] * CaptainArcanus calls out for a collision alert, the PDS continues to do its best against the continual onslaught of plasma lightning, and a lone technician cries out: "Punch it!" Somewhere in the bowels of the ship, a nice heavy 'thunk' echoes a bit...followed by a groan...followed by a single panel opening up, and a small satellite dish protruding. The dish aligns itself with the swirling vortex, and begins bombarding it with the most potend form of jamming ever conceived of...<snip>
[2007-04-21 23:41:54] <@captainarcanus> <cont> with the most potend form of jamming ever conceived of...like having spam emails and telemarketers and modem noise and white noise and brown noise all directed at one location all at the same time in an effort to completely cut the ties between whatever created the giant vortex, and the vortex itself.
[2007-04-21 23:42:02] *** Drifter_Alan changed nick to DINEX
[2007-04-21 23:42:53] * DINEX rapidly calculates point of origin for the open doorway, working her best to find the position where TJ's signal is...assuming he's even inside that particular GATE...his spinal chipset should be broadcasting retrieval information.
[2007-04-21 23:42:56] * Bowtie breaks suddenly free from his head-cold, snarls, eyes ablaze, and tries to grab JP by the neck and throw him into Tuesday. The strength is overwhelming, and is more than enough to bowl both men over and send them yards away.

[JP SylvrWolfe]

[2007-04-21 23:44:31] * JPSylvrWolfe is grabbed by the neck and flung bodily into Tuesday's general direction. "RRRaahhh!!!" <<damnit>>
[2007-04-21 23:45:11] * @tuesdayjackal is just knocked farther back, now laying down, with probably a bump forming on the back of his head, "*groans*"
[2007-04-21 23:45:19] * Bowtie clambors to his feet, and as the jammer is fired, he .. disappears.
[2007-04-21 23:45:56] * Drifter_Alan strides towards where Bow was, making no sound as he approaches the spot. "...where are you..."
[2007-04-21 23:46:08] * JPSylvrWolfe slides off of Tuesday, groaning himself.
[2007-04-21 23:46:34] * Christina hurries over to JP and kneels next to him, "See... this is why I don't let you go out alone."
[2007-04-21 23:46:46] -Bowtie- The rift itself seems to pause for a moment. All "weapons"fire stops. The gravity well remains constant. Several seconds pass. Then several plasma strikes fire specifically at the location of the jamming weapon with pinpoint precision.
[2007-04-21 23:47:01] <@jpsylvrwolfe> Rrrf.
[2007-04-21 23:47:04] *** JPSylvrWolfe changed nick to CaptainArcanus
[2007-04-21 23:48:28] * CaptainArcanus holds his position as the weapons arrays continue to fire, throwing only slugs at the vortex. The jammer continues to do it's job while the PDS units continue to protect that spot. ~~Arcanus to SkyKnight...we're getting battered and bruised, but the new Point defense Shields are holding for now. I don't think we can cut this thing off, so anyone who has any bright ideas should speak up now.~~
[2007-04-21 23:50:12] -Bowtie- Again, the vortex stops "firing." It sits there. And swirls. However, Endeavor's sensors show that it is growing larger, apparently gaining energy from another source, rather than being removed from it. Then the gravity well intensifies, and climbs so quickly, that Endeavor's thrusters won't be able to compensate if immediate action isn't taken.
[2007-04-21 23:51:54] <Drifter_Alan> ...find his anchor, crush it.
[2007-04-21 23:52:07] * Drifter_Alan turns towards the young woman, glaring at her.
[2007-04-21 23:52:49] <@tuesdayjackal> But... he's gone!
[2007-04-21 23:52:52] * CaptainArcanus makes a hand motion, and the weapons fire ceases, the energy from the rail-weapons are diverted to inertial dampers and thrusters. "Give me everything she's got..."
[2007-04-21 23:53:16] <@tuesdayjackal> <<Christina said that.
[2007-04-21 23:54:03] * Christina looks around, "And how would I know what on earth his... anchor is?"
[2007-04-21 23:54:09] * Christina looks a little frustrated.
[2007-04-21 23:55:56] * CaptainArcanus turns as one of his bridge crew report the jammer is eating too much power to maintain distance. He frowns and looks back to the image of the swirling mass. "...cut power to jammer and redirect to manuvering thrusters. Put her away, we'll think of something else."
[2007-04-21 23:57:06] -Bowtie- The rift responds to the lack of the jammer being fired into it .. by dropping the gravity well, and renewing it's plasma fire against the Endeavor. The jammer somehow ended up making the rift stronger. Meanwhile, DINEX cannot locate TJ at all; he's not in there. Or his transponder's not working.
[2007-04-21 23:57:52] <Drifter_Alan> I do not know, but it must be broken...destroyed...like he will be.
[2007-04-21 23:58:02] * Bowtie reappears next to Christina on the bridge of SkyKnight, eyes swirling, mouth snarling, "Miss me?" He tries to throw Stina into Alan, by her neck.
[2007-04-21 23:58:33] * CaptainArcanus calls out for all hands to brace for impact, as the PDS recharges. Several plasma bolts rock the old workhorse, sending crew rolling and several alarms blaring.
[2007-04-21 23:58:53] * Christina is thrown! Cat like reflexes, she does not have.
[2007-04-21 23:59:23] * @tuesdayjackal growls and stands, glaring at Bowtie and attempting to circle around him.
[2007-04-21 23:59:52] * Drifter_Alan doesn't care for the woman...or anyone else for that matter, so he lets her go flying past as he moves latteraly. A thin grimace on his face is the only emotion he shows as the wolf-jackal hybrid begins to shift to his most dangerous and unstable state.

[2007-04-22 00:02:36] * CaptainArcanus calls for damage report as the carbonic alloy absorbs much of the electrical energy...kinetic force dampened by the inertial dampers softens what could have been a deathblow...energy is redirected from the sub-dermal level of the armor plate into the thrusters and shields.
[2007-04-22 00:02:43] * @christina lands against the far wall area and kinda just slides down with a soft, not happy sound.
[2007-04-22 00:02:53] *** CaptainArcanus changed nick to JPSylvrWolfe
[2007-04-22 00:03:07] * JPSylvrWolfe dashes for Stina's body, going to pick her up and make sure she's alright.
[2007-04-22 00:04:38] * Bowtie takes a moment to attempt to lock eyes with Alan while he's shifting. If successful, Alan thinks he's back in TJ 1's manor... and ol' DYS is there waiting for him.
[2007-04-22 00:04:48] *** Drifter_Alan changed nick to Alan_Hybrid
[2007-04-22 00:05:23] -Bowtie- Meanwhile, the rift works on Endeavor's thrusters. If she moves out of the way, then it will cease firing, and concentrate, once more, on sucking SkyKnight in.
[2007-04-22 00:05:39] * @christina just kinda... slumps there for a moment.
[2007-04-22 00:05:41] * Alan_Hybrid finishes shifting and only smiles at the no-eyed wolf. "Mistake number one." He charges for the beast, already presuming he's dashing for Bowtie or some other poor expendable sap.
[2007-04-22 00:06:38] * JPSylvrWolfe lifts Stina into his arms and nuzzles at her gently, growling softly, trying to use the bond they share to bring her back to waking life.
[2007-04-22 00:06:50] * Bowtie isn't DYS. DYS is actually a bulkhead. Bow, meanwhile, turns his attention on Tuesday, and grins malevolently.
[2007-04-22 00:07:12] * @christina 's eyes suddenly open, blood red and angry looking, "I've about HAD IT!" she says, pulling herself to her feet and beginning to run for Bowtie, blade outstreatched.
[2007-04-22 00:07:41] * Alan_Hybrid takes a swing at a bulkhead, and when it reacts like steel, he simly reorients and dashes for where he felt Bowtie should still be.
[2007-04-22 00:08:23] * JPSylvrWolfe lets Christina charge as he slowly stands up. He flexes his mortal paw, then the mechanical one...and starts looking for something he can throw.
[2007-04-22 00:08:27] *** JPSylvrWolfe changed nick to CaptainArcanus
[2007-04-22 00:08:33] * @tuesdayjackal growls at Bowtie and begins to run for him as well, falling to all fours and all that good stuff.
[2007-04-22 00:10:08] * CaptainArcanus continues to route power to the thrusters and the PDS, they repeatedly block the majority of the energy dispelled against the engines. "Power up the FTL drive, and get ready to jump to the preset coordinates...and be ready to leave behind the surprise."
[2007-04-22 00:10:08] * Bowtie looks at three targets approaching. He stands his ground, stance poised and ready for an attack. And as they converge on him .. black smoke. He disappears. And reappears behind Alan. Incoming kidney punch again.
[2007-04-22 00:11:15] * Alan_Hybrid stops short as he sees the poof, and wheels...hoping his own punch lands on something other than bulkhead as he swings hard in a sudden reverse punch. Yes, he'll take the hit with this move, unfortunately.
[2007-04-22 00:12:46] *** CaptainArcanus changed nick to JPSylvrWolfe
[2007-04-22 00:12:53] *** JPSylvrWolfe changed nick to Ice
[2007-04-22 00:13:42] * Bowtie gets punched in the face, and stumbles back against a bulkhead himself. He looks punchdrunk for a moment, and tries to shake it off.
[2007-04-22 00:13:46] * Ice picks himself up slowly, and grabs another repulsor from the mangled crewman. He sets it to a much higher setting than before, and waits for a good shot to present itself...the whole time looking like he's going to vomit.
[2007-04-22 00:14:27] * Alan_Hybrid whines as his kidney screams, then lunges for Bowtie's throat violently.
[2007-04-22 00:17:16] * Bowtie snaps his eyes at Alan, snarls, and does *exactly* the same thing.
[2007-04-22 00:17:51] * Ice tries to find a good shot, narrowing his eyes as he tries to see which Bow is the 'real' bow in his slightly addled state.
[2007-04-22 00:19:39] * @christina runs towards Bowtie and attempts to spear him in the back, growling, her teeth growing much longer and sharper as heat raidiates (sp?) off of her.
[2007-04-22 00:20:20] * Alan_Hybrid ends up grappling with Bowtie, throwing the strength he's gained as a wolf and a Jackal into the fight.
[2007-04-22 00:29:32] * Bowtie is way stronger than a normal Bowtie, and has very little problem standing up to Alan. He ends up throwing the hybrid back .. just in time to get speared by Stina. The blade goes right through, and he stops, looking down at it. Then he's shot by Ice, and he falls sideways, sliding cleanly off the blade, which is .. clean.
[2007-04-22 00:29:57] -Bowtie- The rift ceases firing at Endeavor entirely, and the gravity well is reduced somewhat.
[2007-04-22 00:30:58] * Ice blinks at the apparently lucky shot. "...Nate'd be proud..."
[2007-04-22 00:31:41] * Alan_Hybrid goes reeling backwards and bounces off the bulkhead, clutching midway between his kidney and the old self inflicted stabwound.
[2007-04-22 00:32:01] * @christina pulls back and stabs again, her ears pointing and becoming more canine than feline through the purely rage induced shift.
[2007-04-22 00:33:02] *** Ice changed nick to CaptainArcanus
[2007-04-22 00:34:27] * CaptainArcanus looks to the comm crewman, who gives him a thumbs up. "Engineering reports SkyKnight is green to re-engage her engines." He then turns to the helmsman. "Ready to jump on my command...release the surprise and let's get moving."
[2007-04-22 00:35:04] *** Christina changed nick to Luna
[2007-04-22 00:35:06] * Bowtie .. black poofy disappears. The rift seems to shrink down, yet it seems to grow brighter. The gravity emissions come to a complete stop... and SkyKnight loses all power.
[2007-04-22 00:35:19] * Alan_Hybrid shakes off his present pain and moves to assist the woman with her stabbities...then the power dies.
[2007-04-22 00:35:46] *** Luna changed nick to Christina
[2007-04-22 00:36:26] * @christina stops stabbing and looks around, her eyes and Tuesdays probably being the brightest things around as she scans the ship, looking for what's causing the power to go flop.
[2007-04-22 00:36:31] * CaptainArcanus looks over as an alarm sounds. "Power emissions from SkyKnight have stopped...All stations, hold your position and prepare for an emergency tow. Send a call over to the Silver Saint, get their first officer on the line, and tell them I'm in charge now. I want her over here, ready to take on casualties and help us tow SkyKnight to the dark side of the moon."
[2007-04-22 00:36:59] * Alan_Hybrid snarls...his one jackal eye giving off it's own dim light. Rage or faith powers that glow...which is it?"
[2007-04-22 00:37:03] <Alan_Hybrid> <<-">>
[2007-04-22 00:40:34] * Bowtie laughs. It echoes in the room... and after a few moments, the sound of a gentle wind rustling through trees is heard.
[2007-04-22 00:42:07] * CaptainArcanus pulls away from the rift and locks magnetic tractor systems onto SkyKnight as a large silver medical ship arrives from an FTL jump to the starboard side of the immobilized Flagship...and she too begins the towing process.
[2007-04-22 00:42:18] *** CaptainArcanus changed nick to JPSylvrWolfe
[2007-04-22 00:43:00] * JPSylvrWolfe sighs and fiddles with his arm...eventually a single penlight turns on, protruding from his left forearm just a bit. "...fine. Leo was right, I'm glad I let him fuck with it...remind me to tell him when we get off this crate."
[2007-04-22 00:43:45] * @christina growls in response, looking around.
[2007-04-22 00:43:57] * @tuesdayjackal blinks, "... rather relaxing if I didn't have a bad feeling about it..."
[2007-04-22 00:44:03] * JPSylvrWolfe lifts it up and starts searching for survivors/crewmen/whomever.
[2007-04-22 00:44:23] * Alan_Hybrid hisses something in a language that defies explination. Perhaps he's more insane than he seems.
[2007-04-22 00:44:34] -Bowtie- There are trees around them. Very dense. Like a certain old forest. Bow laughs deeply again, "Do you think that I'm out of tricks? Do you think .. really think .. you can stop me?"
[2007-04-22 00:45:41] -Bowtie- The rift begins firing again, this time directly at the tractors of the other two ships. With each shot, something happens inside the illusion, such as, a tree may temporarily disappear, or the sound of the wind dies down.
[2007-04-22 00:46:21] *** JPSylvrWolfe changed nick to CaptainArcanus
[2007-04-22 00:47:15] <@captainarcanus> Full power to thrusters, redirect everything we've got into holding onto SkyKnight. Radio over to Saint and tell her to jump out of here if this gets dangerous...I am /not/ losing good civilians to some oversized goddamn vacuum cleaner!
[2007-04-22 00:47:20] *** CaptainArcanus changed nick to JPSylvrWolfe
[2007-04-22 00:48:17] * @christina begins slashing at the trees with her blade, "You... little... FUCKJOB!!! AFTER ALL THE EFFORT I PUT INTO YOU!!! GET OUT HERE SO I CAN KILL YOU!!! **slash slash slash*
[2007-04-22 00:48:43] * Alan_Hybrid drops into a defensive position, growling low and holding his ground.
[2007-04-22 00:49:16] * JPSylvrWolfe swings the penlight towards Stina's slashing and cutting. "Hold on there...stop an' let's think 'bout this...we'rrrrre not gettin' anywhere just beatin' on shit."
[2007-04-22 00:49:26] -Bowtie- Bow .. continues to laugh. The trees don't ever seem damaged. Although, occasionally, as per the firing of the plasma bolts from the rift, sparks seem to pop out of them here and there. The poor, poor bridge of SkyKnight.
[2007-04-22 00:50:21] *** JPSylvrWolfe changed nick to CaptainArcanus
[2007-04-22 00:51:21] <@christina> WHY... WON'T... YOU... DIE?
[2007-04-22 00:51:26] <@captainarcanus> That's it, I'm sick of this thing. Engage the ion thrusters, deploy fighters, and get us away from that thing...ready to drop payload on my order. Order all crew to stations for emergency GATE procedures...and have our friends waiting for us on the other side.
[2007-04-22 00:51:33] * @christina stabs the ground and falls to her knees, panting.
[2007-04-22 00:51:39] *** CaptainArcanus changed nick to JPSylvrWolfe
[2007-04-22 00:52:02] * @tuesdayjackal walks up next to Alan, "Any bright ideas?"
[2007-04-22 00:52:16] * JPSylvrWolfe dashes over very fast, and catches her as she sinks to her knees. "RRrr...enough. We're dealing with something very differrrrent...we need an edge against magic orrrr something similar..."
[2007-04-22 00:52:57] * Alan_Hybrid looks at Tuesday with frighteningly cold eyes. "We leave this place. It is not real, for trees do not spark."
[2007-04-22 00:53:16] -Bowtie- The rift focuses on fighting off the civilian ship, and with it's departure, stops firing. It concentrates again on the gravity effect, and it begins sucking at both ships. Alone, Endeavor's thrusters can't hope to pull both ships away. When it breaks off, the gravity well surges, and the vortex grows again, large enough to encompass the entire ship.
[2007-04-22 00:53:35] <Bowtie> There is no escape.
[2007-04-22 00:53:41] * Bowtie reappears amidst them.
[2007-04-22 00:53:56] <Bowtie> You can't fight it. You can't escape it.
[2007-04-22 00:54:17] *** JPSylvrWolfe changed nick to CaptainArcanus
[2007-04-22 00:54:45] <@captainarcanus> Right, Silver Saint is out of range. Engage the Gate projector directly behind us and drop into it. Our friends on the far side should be waiting for us by now.
[2007-04-22 00:55:44] <@christina> ... Why?
[2007-04-22 00:55:57] <@christina> What the hell did we ever do to you?
[2007-04-22 00:56:16] <Bowtie> Oh, nothing dearie. Although the consumption of any soul is more than enough to please my lord.
[2007-04-22 00:56:51] <@christina> I should have left you to rot on that cliff...
[2007-04-22 00:56:57] <Bowtie> In another life, in another time, I would have regretted this. But I have survived eons .. EONS .. of .. torture .. beyond .. BEYOND what any of you will ever understand.
[2007-04-22 00:57:59] * Bowtie points at Alan and Tuesday, "You .. are both already mine. My hosts. My links to freedom."
[2007-04-22 00:58:04] * Alan_Hybrid slips into the shadows cast as JP keeps the light trained on wherever Bow is presently standing. Alan relies on the countless hours of training recieved from the jackals he used to call brother...and tries to blend into nothingness for now.
[2007-04-22 00:58:23] * Bowtie looks at Ice, JP, and Stina, "And you will cement my freedom, when he comes back, and realizes what has happened to you.
[2007-04-22 00:58:44] *** CaptainArcanus changed nick to JPSylvrWolfe
[2007-04-22 00:59:04] <@jpsylvrwolfe> How did you get tangled up wit' this monolougin' nutjob again?
[2007-04-22 00:59:16] * JPSylvrWolfe looks sideways at Stina while saying this.
[2007-04-22 01:00:02] * @christina snarls, her claws pushing from her fingers and bursting into flame, "My my lord have mercy on your poor, pathetic soul..." she says, standing and begining to stalk toward him, slowly shifting into a rather large hellhound.
[2007-04-22 01:00:06] *** Christina changed nick to Hellhound
[2007-04-22 01:00:17] <@jpsylvrwolfe> Oh...right...that's how.
[2007-04-22 01:00:43] * JPSylvrWolfe swallows audibly, suddenly reminded of how painfully mortal he is compared to an hellhound.
[2007-04-22 01:00:50] *** JPSylvrWolfe changed nick to CaptainArcanus
[2007-04-22 01:01:00] -Bowtie- SkyKnight begins to draw close to the open maw of the rift. As it does so, the ship begins to shudder. Bow dismisses the image of forest, and turns towards the viewscreen, which shows the rift impossibly close. He simply turns back, and grins at Stina, "May my lord have mercy on yours." He disappears.
[2007-04-22 01:02:03] * CaptainArcanus grins slightly as the energy bolt lashes out from the aft of Endeavor, opening a gate just barely large enough to squeeze SkyKnight through...and lets the gravity do the job of forcing them through his little gambit.
[2007-04-22 01:02:47] <@captainarcanus> Burn full aft...get us out of here. Make sure Silver Saint has the coordinates for the second jumpstation and drop our gift.
[2007-04-22 01:06:06] -Bowtie- SkyKnight gets itself jumped away. The rift .. stays there, still sucking.
[2007-04-22 01:06:18] * Alan_Hybrid lunges for Bow's backside, silent as the assasin he was training to become. The monster of a hybrid moves to rip away the back of the neck, rend flesh, or simply cause harm...letting go in a way that Tuesday would never have been able to recall.
[2007-04-22 01:06:39] * Bowtie appears directly in front of Arcanus. He frowns, without snarl or anything else. But he looks very, very unhappy. He simply says, "Hello." Then attempts to reach into Arcanus' chest and rip out his heart.
[2007-04-22 01:07:10] * Alan_Hybrid stike
[2007-04-22 01:08:40] * CaptainArcanus lets his own ship follow through and arrive dead in the water on the other side. When Bowtie arrives infront of him, he smiles briefly before firing once with a very old smith and wesson .22 handgun. "Intergalactic pests..."
[2007-04-22 01:09:16] * Bowtie wouldn't be along for the ride, actually. Once the ship jumps, he's gone.
[2007-04-22 01:10:18] * CaptainArcanus fires into his ghost, and wrecks a series of small control panels. "...hmph. Get comm equipment back online, call for our pickup...then get a tech crew in here to fix this mess. And re-smelt my lucky bullet."
[2007-04-22 01:12:30] * Alan_Hybrid reappears for a moment before collapsing onto the bridge entirely, breathing very labored as he shifts back to human and passes out entirely.
[2007-04-22 01:12:38] *** Alan_Hybrid ([e-mail]) left ()
[2007-04-22 01:14:32] -Bowtie- The rift sits there, aimlessly swirling, sucking at nothing. And then a big boom happens. And the rift closes.
[2007-04-22 01:16:55] * CaptainArcanus takes a seat in his command chair, and sighs. "...Notify the 'others' when the comm is up that we brought SkyKnight for retrofit...and that a third ship is on it's way. And extend my thanks to Dri`anna for her continual hospitality..."
[2007-04-22 01:20:32] * CaptainArcanus falls oop for now, as white ships arrive to tow them all to safety.
