* Two weeks have passed since we previously looked in on Nelvada * Many things have been resolved, and the LONAC crew is nearly ready to depart the neutral colony * Ytsejam enters his lab via the office portal, and assumes robo form* Computer, give me an update on Ayreon status unchanged Damn you Dominion, damn you for making me do this I'm glad we could work out this agreement Director Rand. It should be of great help to us in the future * Ytsejam opens a small chamber on the stasis pod and places an odd looking Autobot symbol in it * Admiral-Lilwall waits outside the conference room for Waitstate Your group is the very thing we are trying to promote. It is our pleasure to support you in any we we can * The symbol enters the pod itself and begins to dissipate * Waitstate shakes hands Computer, initiate the new nanites with current parameters * Waitstate exits the room, meeting Lil We got it Lil. We got it! :D nanites programmed Great! 'Bout time we had some better luck Primus, be with me now......... * Mindshadow, unseen, watches with mild interest. * Ytsejam activates the new nanites and they enter Ayreon's body * Ayreon shows no sign of activity and floats within the stasis pod Well as much as I hate to put a downer on such good news gosh... what? Here, last minute applications only 10 or so * LONAC_Emblem appears. gah... computer, begin DNA scan they all look like duds, but one is good, I arranged a meeting with the bot * Ayreon begins to tremble slightly Worst news is boss, the meeting is in about 10 minutes. here goes everything geez... always running, aren't I? Give those to Overwrite. We should go to the meeting Great Now the bot's name is Skysiren, she's another law enforcment unit too! Good stuff, here's the data pad with a map to the meeting location. Best scat along then right, right... * Ytsejam begins instructing the nanites to assume Ayreon's nervous system functons * Waitstate grabs it and heads over * Diablo is in his quarters fixing up his spider bots * Ayreon goes rigid as the nanites assume control of his body. His eyes open fully and glow a bright blue * LONAC_Emblem follows Waitstate * LONAC_Emblem attaches to Waitstate's arm. * Cuffs hits the buzzer outside of Diablo's door who's there? Cuffs what do you want? * Waitstate hesitates for a moment, an odd chill running through his interface pickups What's wrong Wait? I dunno I s'pose you could come in * LONAC_Emblem flickers weird input from nowhere... I'll need to anaylize it later I shall not take up to much of your time, I wish only to scan the room for possible security devices placement c'mon, lets go * a horrific image enters the mind of all "known" LONAC members. The image is of Cybertron as a massive energy wave rolls across the surface. Each LONAC member is shaken as the wave hits them ahh, ok Could that emblem have anything to do with it? * Mindshadow, unseen, holds his hands to his head. Shipwide security is below standard, *scans room* Thank you. *exits* * Waitstate falls to his knees, extra sensitive to external data broadcasts of any sort Wait, what's wrong? * Admiral-Lilwall drops to one knee, "What the slag?!" * Ayreon screams in side the stasis pod can't you feel it?! * Artifice falls over * Mindshadow 's cloaking device flickers... * Artifice goes offline * Diablo falls backwards * AutumnBeauty, Restore, and others on the freedom collapse as the vision hits them* * Ytsejam stumbles back, then re-calibrates the system * Ayreon falls silent *regaining self* What the hell was that... * Diablo gets back up * Waitstate's mind struggles to re-file his database, and put aside the horrible vision * Admiral-Lilwall helps Artifice up Hey Gravix, it's been a long time * a final image of Ayreon stading amid the devastation enters everyone's mind. The images fade * Waitstate's optics flutter to life * Mindshadow reactivates his cloak. Err, wrong bot Artifice. Stardrive, did you guys feel that up there? *says to himself* what was that * Waitstate gasps * Waitstate bolts upright By the.....Ayreon?! Ungh... That's a yes if ever I heard one * Waitstate shakes head, then seems to focus * Admiral-Lilwall suddenly goes offline remind me not to run with inputs wide open... [comm] What the SLAG was THAT?!? * Meteor, in his quarters, jerks back in pain and falls offline * Dark_Star remains in recharging mode * Waitstate opens LONAC-wide comm. "Anyone else able to record that?" * Ytsejam brings the pods system to full power, and slowly wakes Ayreon up [comm] We're going down, down, down, load 16 tons and whaddya get? A headache THIS big... Bridge, what happened? Is there wounded? * Admiral-Lilwall lies on the ground offline, a crowd starting to gather.... * Ayreon slowly wakes up, his eyes glowing faintly *weakly* Lil................... Ayr, can you hear me? * Waitstate returns to Lil's side, helping him upright *weakly* Ytse? * Artifice helps Wait * Admiral-Lilwall flicks back online "what...the fuck..was that??" You awake, old friend? I don't know, but it hit all of us * Waitstate looks to Arti "he's alright" Great Thank Primus! Hold on Ayreon, I'm bringing you out of stasis Now lets get to that meeting * Diablo finishes repairs on the spider bots I have no idea what it was, but I stored it all * Dark_Star wakes and exists his quarters *Thinking to himself* The fleshling seems to have untapped mental powers... these LONACs get more interesting every breem.

YTSEJAM! * Dark_Star arrives at the lab entrance I'll have to clean that up later, let's get you out of here You in here? Waitstate? Wha? Ayreon is awake. *An unknown seeker bolts into the lab, pushing past Waitstate. The seeker is carrying a fleshling in a exo suit * Ytsejam lifts Ayreon out of the pod, and lays him on thework table near-by Yes, he's awake, and alive Ytsejam!! You gotta help me, Cyrstalline just keeled over! I don't know why! She isn't waking up! * Waitstate walks around to Ytse, and is able to see Ayr She isn't the only one Who? What? * Diablo sends out a spiderbot to the lab did I miss something? * Trilana enters the lab. let me get your armor * Admiral-Lilwall arrives at his destination and returns to robot form, he looks around for Skysiren Ayreon! Can either of you explain what happened? please someone, help Cyrstalline! I think she stopped breathing! * SkySiren looks up shyly at the back of the room what happened? and would everyone please stop yelling * the spiderbot scuttles across the ceiling and enters the lab hiding itself on the ceiling Excuse me, Wait. * Waitstate looks to the new bot Is this person a human? * Trilana removes the LONAC Emblem from Waitstate. * Ytsejam stops near Crystalline and begins to examine her Nebulan, please help me * Trilana fiddles with it for a few moments. I can't help then, sorry. Ahh... much better. Thanks Tri. Is Retore available? she just collapsed a few minutes ago, she was fine just before.... I only know human resussitation techniques * Trilana lets the emblem go. * LONAC_Emblem floats around. * Waitstate looks at Tri, questioning Ayreon! I can't find anythin on my scans * Admiral-Lilwall looks over the datapad seeing the image of Skysiren. He spots her in the back of the room who? Is that her? * Admiral-Lilwall approaches Must be owww, my head Skysiren? * Ayreon barfs over the side of the table YOUR head?! Is he SUPPOSED to do that? *whispering* Yes, that's me You wouldn't BELIEVE the headache we all just got! * Waitstate looks thoughtful for a moment ah, I'm Admiral Lilwall, whom you spoke with earlier, this is my comrade Artifice Tell me about it. then again, perhaps you would... I'm sorry, I'm not very familiar with Nebulon neurology Hello SkySiren * SkySiren smiles and nods * Waitstate finds a terminal * Waitstate jacks in and replays the images he saw can YOU explain this? you saw that? how-- We ALL saw it that can't be possible * LONAC_Emblem disappears. nevertheless Now where'd he go? That's my vision of Cybertron's end. I--- Artifice and I will be conducting the meeting Skysiren, Waitstate had an emergencey to attend to You're WHAT? * LONAC_Emblem reappears on Artifice's arm. * Artifice scratches his arm for a moment Ytsejam to LSS Freedom, can you send me information on Nebulon biology? Watch it... my vision, my dreams. That's the future * Admiral-Lilwall takes a seat at Skysiren's table, "Your application is very promising, could I ask why you've decided to join us?" *eyeing them suspiously* "Alright" Sure thing, downloading everything you could need * Opal paces the room watching This is what you see? *to Freedom* thanks * SkySiren shifting in her seat uncomfortably "Let's just call it a disagreement in morals" a part of it, yes Ah and you say your visions have come true before? yes So you want to join LONAC under foggy circumstances? Heh, just like everyone else on board unfortunatly Primus... * Trilana frowns. I'm sorry Wait. I've had this dream since I became a Transformer on my own, after Angra's death Do you know what... what causes it? * SkySiren looks at them for a moment "I found both sides were hypocritical" You certainly aren't the first in that field Skysiren. Your record as a law enforcement agent is very impressive, you'll be most welcome in LONAC. But I should warn you that a lot of the crew are former decepticons and autobots. There's plenty of rough play going on, and many don't like security types. Is that alright by you? The Decpeticon's final assault on Cybertron, led by a commander by the name of Rubicon We want you to feel comfortable here Sky, we don't need someone who's going to leave after a week How far ahead is it? and if it makes you feel better, I don't mind the legal types I don't know * LONAC_Emblem whispers to Artifice... "We CAN'T be hypocritical... we have no goals... hehehe." After all, we have the same job, you and I Sky I just have less rules Is she gonna be ok Ytsejam? * SkySiren smiles slightly "I can take care of myself" damn... we can't worry about it though. We have no idea what causes it or when Ah right Artifice... * Artifice whispers to LONAC Emblem "quiet you" Ok Skysiren, that's about it really, I like to keep meetings short and sweet. As far as LONAC goes, welcome aboard * LONAC_Emblem sticks out a holographic tongue at Artifice. I can place Crytalline in stasis. Se'll maintain her current condition, but won't get any worse. I need time to study Nebulon physiology Let's get back to the ship * Artifice scratches his arm again * SkySiren simply nods her head staying back from them "So, what am I supposed to do know?" do whatever you have to * LONAC_Emblem flickers. We'll take you back to the ship, assign you quarters, and introduce you to the rest of the crew Skysiren We'll be leaving orbit early tomorrow morning. If you could be ready and waiting with whatever gear you have by Nelvada midnight, we'll have one of our crew pick you up in a shuttle at the main space port * Waitstate steps away to a more private corner * Ytsejam carefully pics up Crstalline and places her by Ayreon, then cleans out the stasis pod. He then carefully places her in the pod and closes it and then we'll do all that stuff he just said *points to Artifice* Waitstate to Freedom. Do we know if all of Nelvada saw that? :) We are unable to tell commander * SkySiren gets up from the table "okay" She'll be OK......... um, what's your name anyway? Opal, if you couldn't guess by the paint job you're sure she'll be ok? However, none of the news services are mentioning it Well, that's a good sign * Admiral-Lilwall gets up from the table and nods to Skysiren "See you then." *leaves the room* * Artifice follows Admiral She'll be fine while in stasis what's going on? How did that one get in here, anyway? Hmm? * SkySiren walks out after them heading for her quarters * LONAC_Emblem is along for the ride. Ok...I should go then *looks at Cyrstalline in stasis* my damn boss is already docking my pay for the time I'm here *frowns and leaves* Ayreon, put your armor on. It'll help clear your head and heal your body * Trilana watches Opal leave... leaves herself, in confusion. Waitstate to Lilwall: You done with that meeting? Opal my com frequecy is in the directory, call me for an update * Trilana returns to the Freedom *to Artifice* I'll go back to the ship and assign Skysiren with some quarters, and inform Cuffs he's got a working partner. [comm] Sure am Boss, we got a new recruit Where's Apparition? Alright Admiral, I'll go finish up a few rejections * Apparition enters the lab with Electra Magus in tow * Diablo exits his quarters * SkySiren puts together the little bit of personal possessions and heads for the spaceport * Opal re-enters "Um...excuse me? Uh, Waitstate is it? Could I speak with you please? In private?" Um, sure... * Diablo commands the spiderbot to return * Waitstate signals Lil to make sure Sky gets on board ok We're here Ytse, Electra and myself * Waitstate finds somehwere more private [comm] she will, Lil out. So... what can I do for you? Is she going to behave herself this time? Ytsejam told me he had to get info from your group to help save my friend, I just wanted to express my thanks.. yes.... I was glad to offer the help It's OK Ytse, I'm cool here Alright Stardrive, lets go back to the ship and to ask if...maybe I could join you guys... I mean my job isn't going anywhere and...... well, if it's ok.. * SkySiren stands nervously at the space port hoping that no one will recognize her I'm not worried about you shooting people Ayr * Artifice transforms and heads for the LSS Freedom I AM back at the ship, Art. * Electra's eyes flicker, as if she's crying Yeah, but you're still annoying me Stardrive heh :) Opal, well, normally I'd ask you to submit an application, but we're getting ready to depart. if you're willing, we can take you with us. The worst that can happen is we let you off at our next stop :) * Ayreon commands his body to approach the table, then rejoins it How else am I supposed to know what's going on around here? * Admiral-Lilwall enters the bridge, "Cirrus, don't suppose you want to do some last minute shopping?" Nothing is happening here Stardrive, all the action is back at the ship Oh! You're right! Well, I don't see much going on... I wanna hit the station gift shop :D Hey, that's Skysiren thanks... really. Um, I should go get packed then I guess... I'm on the bridge now. Tri just got back a few minutes ago. * Ayreon walks/stumbles over to Electra Drat... I blew the last of my cash getting some music carts. Care to spot me a few? :) Hello Skysiren, that was fast Can we talk about this, soon? Please? Are you in a hurry Ms? *to Cirrus* good, before you hit the station make a taxi run and pick up some of the crew, and a new recruit. yeah... we're happy to take you on :) * Electra hugs Ayreon * SkySiren holds onto her luggage tightly "I don't really have that much to pack" You on the run or something? I'm so sorry.............. Sure thing boss. :) *awaits credits* no * Admiral-Lilwall hands over some credits, "fine fine, but this time I really do want change, not some plastic gift like last time" Yeah, right. I've seen your kind before. Its OK, but we need to get this situation between us under control, and soon aww... I thought you liked it :/ Well, if you're hiding, LONAC is a great place OK........ * Admiral-Lilwall chuckles "get going" Alright... * Cirrus runs off *a cat robot with large yellow bat wings enters the room, and hides behind a nearby pile of scrap metal * SkySiren optis slit in anger I'm not on the run * Junky LaFord finishes repairs on the Interphase Drive's cooling system. We just await the return of the crew and we can depart. All systems fucntioning *to Waitstate* Wait, I think I have two more recruits for you Good, Junky finally got that thing-a-ma-jig fixed Bring them up then. We don't have time for applications * Junky LaFord begins dismantling the prototype Interspace Drive he was working on earlier. OK, will do Stardrive, tell Wait and co we're ready to move out We're going up to the ship. Ytse, can you pack this thing into you shuttle? Sure can :-) [comm] Stardrive to Waitstate. [comm] here * Ayreon leaves the lab with the help of Apparitiona and Electra, and heads for the ship [comm] We're ready to go. [comm] gotcha * Dark_Star enters the lab * Dark_Star looks around [comm] Eh... there's a few last minute transmissions... * Waitstate gathers his remaining things *To Waitstate* I'm going to stay behind breifly, I need to pack the lab away in my shuttle, I'll join up with the Freedom a little later [comm] Including a charge bill from The Fast Lane Bar.... [comm] Other than that, we're ready to go... [comm] Stardrive out. [comm] can you take care of it? *turns to Stardrive* bar? if that was Cirrus with my credits... * Crevas transforms to disk mode and gets packed with Wait's stuff * Stardrive routs some LONAC petty cash to the Fast Lane Bar. * Cirrus returns with a sack full of useless knick-nacks and a happy expression on his face Ahem, Cirrus. I got everyone on board :D * Ytsejam scans Crystalline, and does some minor medical things to her, then awakes her oh... your change, right... The conference room. Now. Me? Someones in trouble... * Dark_Star steals odd objects from the lab that appear useful and leaves Hustle it bot * Ayreon and his friends arrive on the Freedom, and head for his room Aww... what did -I- do? :( * Cirrus goes * Admiral-Lilwall enteres room behind cirrus. "You don't happen to know about a fast lane bar tab eh?" * Artifice arrives at the ship with SkySiren Nooo... isn't that where Ayreon got in that fight? * Ytsejam looks at Crystalline "I'll take you back to Opal now, I think you'll be OK" thanks * Diablo sends out two spiderbots to look around Skysiren, I have work to attended to. You just sit here and I'll send for someone * Ytsejam transforms into his transport mode and takes Crystalline to Opal So... am I ok then? * SkySiren sits down and examines the ship 'ok' * Admiral-Lilwall eyes Cirrus, "Hm...let's just say, you'll be learning to save your own credits from now. Back to work." *dejected* Yes sir... * Admiral-Lilwall chuckles to himself when Cirrus exits * Admiral-Lilwall is informed by Artifice of Skysiren's arrival [comm] Skysiren, this is Lil, your quarters are on deck 5, room A-18 Hey Lil, there was an attachment to that bill... said something about damage to the furniture... * Admiral-Lilwall sighs "...just make them happy again Stardrive" I already did. It was just the same bill. * The cat-bot sneaks onto the LSS Freedom, and begins looking for Ayreon * SkySiren jumps from her comm suddenly sparking alive "Acknowledged. thanks Lil" I am detected two transformer signals on board with Ayreon, they are not part of LONAC * Ytsejam delivers Crystalline to Opa, explains what he did, then returns to his lab to begin packing * Admiral-Lilwall to Ayreon, now isn't the time for a tour * Trilana replaces Stardrive at Communications. * SkySiren leaves the safehaven of her chair and walks timidly down the hall * Ytsejam punches a series of buttons inside the labs front door, then walks out * Diablo tells the spiderbots to return * SkySiren finally finds her quarters and settles in. I'm going to meet Opal on the flight deck, Stardrive, keep the seat warm for Waitstate eh? * Waitstate unpacks in his quarters * Admiral-Lilwall heads to the flight deck * The lab blinks, then vanishes. Eight small cubes come together from the room's eight corners, then join together as one. Ytsejam picksup the joined cude, and heads for the space dock Sure. * Crevas transforms to sled mode and exits Wait's room * Stardrive stretches out in the command chair. And stay out, you little annoyance! * Shadowpaw relieves Cirrus at the helm * Admiral-Lilwall watches Opal make her landing and helps her with her stuff to her quarters.

Another unknown transformer is aboard * Waitstate sits, getting comfortable * Cuffs emerges from around the corner and sees the cat bot *to Lil* yes, it is... *to Lightning* ANOTHER? * Waitstate is abruptly less comfortable Hold it right there! *draws weapon* Don't move. Cuffs to bridge * The cat-bot sees Cuffs and runs off Bridge here it is outside Ayreon's quarters, Cuffs is there I am in pursuit of an unknown cat like robot * Junky LaFord, unaware of the trouble on the bridge, takes the security protocols offline for a Level A diagnostic. [comm] And you dont mean Shadowpaw? No sir, this one has wings winged cat... none of those here Computer, activate new secuirty fields at all exits on this deck [comm] detain him! * The cat-bot finds an open lift and dives down the shaft You do not have sufficient clearence to access that function * Cuffs sees the cat dive down the shaft and jumps down after it * Diablo sees people running around lock all lift exits on all decks, it'll be trapped then I hope * The cat-bot turns in midair and rebounds off the shaft to nail Cuffs, then heads back up the shaft [comm] What's going on? * Trilana leaves the bridge. **Cuffs is slammed against the wall and falls to the bottom of the shaft [comm] All security forces, converge on unknown robot * Admiral-Lilwall to all crew, we have an intruder on board, a cat like creature with wings, if you see it disable it * Diablo gets his cannons ready to go hunting * The cat-bot finds the door *she* jumped through closed, and begins clawing at it * Diablo looks for the cat-bot * The cat-bot begins to climb the shaft * Cuffs looks up to see the cat creature and fires stun beams at it * LONAC_Emblem searches the ship... * Waitstate jacks in to the security net and begins hunting * Diablo sends his spiderbots to look for the intruder * The cat-bot lets go and falls down the shaft to land on Cuffs "Wheeeeeee!"* Argh * Waitstate gets a containment field online * Diablo heard someone * Cuffs quickly pulls out a restrainter cuff and locks it around one of the cat's hind legs [from nearby screen] Cuffs! Get him... her.. over here! * LONAC_Emblem flies over to the scene. I am trying to do so sir. * The cat-bot suddenly finds herself trapped, and begins crying Huh?? * Waitstate looks to Lil, half jacked in Ytsejam! Help!! She's crying If this is meant to be a diversion, you'll have to do better than cry. *puts restraints on all of the cat's legs* Crying? She's bleeping CRYING! * Admiral-Lilwall tries not to laugh * LONAC_Emblem frowns at the cat-bot. *child-like* Please, let me go! Ytsejam!

Shall I call them? Tell us who you are and we'll get Ayreon, Ytsejam and whoever else you want * The cat-bot begins to shiver in fear Call Ytsejam. I want to talk to him in private first though. *to Lil, quiet* Don't take that tone. She's obviously scared. Let's not make a bad impression? [comm] Stardrive to Ytsejam, Wait would like to see you outside the security office. I'm on my ship, I'll be there shortly. What's the problem? [comm] It seems we have a... visitor. visitor? *same level* It could be a trick. listen, I hate to break the party even more, but if we aren't underway soon we'll be late our next business deal at Kyon alright. You go to the bridge and get underway. I'll take it from here [comm] Our visitor is in the brig... and I'm sure both she and Wait would appriciate some expediancy. * Waitstate nods to Cuffs to re-engage the security field * Admiral-Lilwall nods and leaves the room Um......... she? * Cuffs turns the field back on I'll be right there [comm] Stardrive out. * Ytsejam sets his ship on autopilot and heads for an arch built into a nearby bulk head * Admiral-Lilwall re enters the bridge "Shadowpaw, set a course the Kyon system, and let's get moving * Ytsejam suddenly falls into Waitstate's office OUCH!! * Junky LaFord finishes his diagnostics * Waitstate jumps * Shadowpaw looks up at Lil momentarily and then sets the course damn subspace door........ geez! is that what that was? sorry, I've gotta fix that thing those type things don't sit well with our drives. Try to avoid using them sorry. What's going on? Anyway... we seem to have a visitor. She refuses to say anything, except to ask for you "she"? seems to be a she I suppose looks can be decieving but I much doubt it I'm afraid I'm at a loss here a blue and yellow bot, with cat-like features where is this "she" at? the brig "cat-like"? Oh no! Avalon!!! AVALON?!? * Waitstate stands up, upset I need to get to her! Wait ONE minute! Yes, that's Avalon! What in the Matrix are you talking about?! * Diablo wonders if this is just one of the many strange things that will happen here As in the co-dependant space station that blew up? If you're talking about who I think you're talking about, it's Avalon yes, that Avalon * Waitstate sits down hard how? YTSEJAM!!!! Please! Help me! *crying* Ytsejam!!!! Can I explain this all later? I need to get to her. She wasn't ready to leave the lab *sigh* fine, but I'm going with you and watching VERY carefully She's just a child Waitstate, she's harmless * Cuffs ingnore the cries I was told that once before This is different, very different. All that's there is her personality and memories She sure didn't seem to remember me She can't cause any more problems with your computers Her memory is in pieces, she only remembers Ayreon and myself nevertheless, I am going with you *crying* please let me go! * Cuffs still ignores the cries Please do *crying* I wanna go home!!!! well, then let's go * Waitstate leads Ytsejam to the brig * Ytsejam follows Waitstate to the brig * Waitstate enters the brig, motions Ytse to the cell * The cat-bot lies down and starts to sob loudly * Ytsejam walks over to the cell and motions for Cuffs to lower the force field * Cuffs looks at Wait * Waitstate nods * Cuffs turns off the field Avalon? You OK? Ytsejam? * Avalon slinks up to Ytsejam and curls up at his feet, still crying * Waitstate watches, both worried and fascinated We have left the Nelvada system It's OK Avalon, I'm here now. I won't let the jerk with the restraits hurt you anymore Alright, I'll be down with the others * Admiral-Lilwall makes for the brig I'm scared Ytsejam. I wanna go home * Cuffs eyes Ytsejam * Stardrive goes to the brig. * Cuffs looks at Wait again * Trilana takes over the comm board. * Waitstate shrugs at Cuffs * Ytsejam glares at Cuffs (as if to say "wanna hurt another one of my friends?!") "This is our home now Avalon. These are Ayreon's friends." * Cuffs glares back as if to say "intruders will be treated accordingly" Ayreon? He's here?! * Stardrive stands in the doorway. Yeah, he's here. You'll meet him later. Why did you leave the lab? I saw him in the lab, he was hurt. I wanted to see more of him. Is he OK? * Admiral-Lilwall enters *to Wait* so whats going on? *to Lil* That bot? She's... well, we've encountered her before *laughing* He's OK. Just calm down. I'll see about getting a room set up for the two of us, and we'll go see Ayreon later. OK? * Waitstate motions Lil outside * Admiral-Lilwall follows OK *to Cuffs* You're MEAN!!! * Waitstate waits till the door closes That bot is, somehow, Avalon * Avalon swipes at Cuffs I was performing my duty as security officer. Deal. Otherwise leave this vessel. Futher hostile action will result in further consquences. Behave and you shall be treated accordingly I belive we joined at the same time pal. Shut down your conflict ciurcuts. This bot has the mind of a kid! What?!? That freako space station?! Children are not above responsibility The very same * Stardrive steps farther into the room. Alright you two. How the hell, what is she doing here? Cuffs, go smelt yourself. Come on Avalon, lets go Ytse... go... take care of her... Cuffs... just settle. This place is getting weirder by the minute. With respect Stardrive, crew like that should not be on board * Ytsejam and Avlon exit the brig, and run into Waitstate and Lilwall Hold it there Yes? * Stardrive sighs. * Avalon tries to bat at Lilwall's ball turrets I'd like to know what is going on here, is Avalon staying on? I have no idea about the cat... Stop that Yes I have no idea. Ayr's friend there is almost as tight-lipped as Avalon herself And who knows about the rest of us... * Avalon shies back "eep" * Stardrive leaves the room, slightly lost in thought... Right. Well, Avalon your quarters will be directly across from Ayreon's. And one more thing, for both of you * Stardrive joins the others... almost bumping into them. She'll be OK. She just needs to get used to everyone and learn the rules around here. And she'll nee to stay with me for a while I don't know about Wait, but I don't take kindly to bots going rank on us *looks at Ytsejam* when we aren't aware of the situation. We were doing what we thought was best to protect our ship and those on it. I understand. She just didn't know. This is the first time she's left my lab since I brought her back online Understandable. Just understand our side too Ytsejam, now.......uh off you go... * Avalon tries to bat at Lilwall's ball turrets again * Stardrive chuckles. * Admiral-Lilwall waits till Ytsejam and Avalon are gone and turns to wait, "Why do I think LONAC is gonna have a big headache coming up?" So what was the deal with Ayreon before? those were some weird things I saw in my head *to Lil* Well... since all that is settled, so to speak, we should prob'ly take care of the other stuff we need to get done Should. I'm retiring for the night, today has sucked I had a message from Restore about Ayreon. She said she'd found something in his medical logs that Ytsejam missed * Admiral-Lilwall leaves for his quarters *to Waitstate* Is it possible to set up my lab in the ship?
