* * ChanServ changes topic to '-=1999.156=- RP TONIGHT (Admiral-Lilwall)' * Admiral-Lilwall enters the bridge Glad to be back to normal again So run all this by me again? * Lightning also enters bridge* * Artifice enters as well * Lightning takes his position at tac1 * * Captain's Log, ship date 2239.112: Though we've managed to eradicate all signs of the plague here on the ship, and on the planet, it still is ravaging the rest of the galaxy. I've had Stardrive transmit technical schematics to all of the major systems, and I hope it will be enough to combat the rising death toll As I said, your systems have been comprimised for quite some time now. My systems, and those of Apparition, Electra and Avalon have been un-affected since we have been away from you for so long *in medbay* So Diablo, what is this about a friend of yours? * Waitstate notes the crowd great. I'm returning to the Freedom for now I'll see to the lab and the work on "Actual Fantasy" Cham brought him along and he's in bits in that container from what I heard someone I don't like very much got to him ah, and what am I supposed to do with him? * Ytsejam uses a shuttle to return to the LSS Freedom put him back together Hey I had to put myself back together * Ayreon rests quitely in his room Let's hope the rest of the galaxy can build their own generators in time * Blacknife sharpens his blades in his new quarters heh Junky managed a small one in less than three hours. Thankfully, it's a simple design is he going to leave one behind or something? *walks into Medbay* * Blacknife connects a wire to his main processor outlet and the other end to a personal med computer I'd rather you spoke with Waitstate about him before I go and put him back together again. I doubt he's willing to allow another of your friends to roam around after what you and Cham did last time Computer check all processors for any indication of tampering or deleted files I suppose your right Scan negative * Blacknife sighs a bit of relief True, any word on a current death toll? Everyone's too busy with the bug to bother with my processors * Shadowpaw wanders the ship *to himself* soon, very soon....... * Skysiren leaves her room and walks down the hall spotting Shadow * Dead_Lift wanders around his quarters * Ytsejam walks onto the deck of the hanger bay and stumbles * Blacknife unplugs the cord and puts the comp into one of his hollowed out areas * Trilana props herself up on one arm at the Communications Station. slaggin repair systems! * Blacknife exits his quarters with a big sigh... BTW, Restore is going to have a full report on the matter for you tomorrow Time to get reaquainted with the gang * Shadowpaw sees Sky and smiles * Skysiren smiles back "Hey..what do you people do for fun on this ship?" * Diablo leaves Medbay * Ytsejam allows his systems to rest a minute before continuing on * Blacknife walks slowly and emphatically to the bridge Depends what your definition of 'fun' is * Blacknife takes turbolift up * Ayreon looks at his right arm, noticing it's taking on a metallic sheen Aside from all this plague mess, we've actually had someone making enquiries about joining up * SkySiren shrugs "Anything to relieve boredom" You're kidding me Nope, some bot in the New Iceland system Was that system effected by the plague? * Dead_Lift leaves his quarters and wanders the halls * Stardrive enters the Bridge. * Diablo heads for the bridge probaby, however it is highly advance techonlogically, I bet they'd have a generator going soon enough * Ytsejam finally makes it to a lift * Blacknife hesitates as the turbolift stops and exits Think we should pay that system a visit then? I don't suppose my position has been filled ? Couldn't hurt Well, Junky's fooled with the generators some more... improved efficency a bit, but I doubt it's worth sending a message about. * Ytsejam manually enters the deck number Hey Blacknife, yes and no. at the moment, no. Take a seat So much for a warm welcoming I see Restore got you up and running once again * Blacknife takes his position * Ytsejam retrieves a small repair kit from subspace and begins futher repairs Anyway, it's only one enquiry, it may be worth while * Dead_Lift enters the bridge * Diablo enters the bridge * Dead Lift and Diablo are halted from entering by the bridge computers * Ayreon leaves his quarters and heads for Ytsejams lab wha?! Unauthorized personell request entry um? * Dead_Lift looks at Diablo and shrugs what's the point of this? Diablo just tried to enter the bridge. Hasn't Overwrite got that statement out yet? Doesn't look like it Computer, let them in * Ytsejam walks out of the lift slowly, but steadily * Doors open Sky, we-e-ell, there's the bar... not the MOST exciting place when empty, but it's better than the halls * Ytsejam heads for his lab *muttering* Slaggin security systems... Sorry about that. I thought Overwrite had sent out the new bridge access policy already I don't suppose it would be too early to ask about obtaining my old status? No problem Waitstate. Blacknife, we've discussed that actually, you'll be on alternating shifts with Cirrus * Shadowpaw motions to Sky to follow her Actually, I think he means his Council position Wait, could I talk to you about something? alrighty That too * Ytsejam enters his lab "lights!" Just a moment Diablo * SkySiren smiles again and walks beside Shadowpaw Ah the Adjunct position *to Wait* I don't see any reason why not me either Ytse, I think I may have a problem here I'm afraid Artifice is still out of it, but I'm sure he won't mind * Ytsejam sees Ayreon for the first time "primus-" Majority vote ;) Job's all yours :) * Blacknife is glad no one can see him smile beneath the face plate now then... Diablo? * Stardrive folds his arms. Thanks, I won't try to pull a disappearing act again... But that bug was killer I'm sure you've noticed the stray pieces in the container in Medbay * Shadowpaw enters the bar and sees Scope sitting near a window, staring blankly into space I don't like displaying weakness.... * Blacknife says more to himself well, actually no. I've been busy, as you can well imagine Blacknife, set course for the New Iceland system * Blacknife shuts his vocalizer and sets course plotted ok, well I was wondering if it's okay for Restore to put them back together * Blacknife hits button as comp beeps at him * Ytsejam examines Ayreon's "condition" All speed ahead, enter interphase, lowest setting what are they? What's there, Admiral? * SkySiren walks in behind and sits down at the bar ups..heh...shake out a bit of rust there We've had a membership enquiry there Want anything? Am I going to live Ytse? Seriously, am I? just a small tape friend *turns to diablo* is he hiding anything he should tell us first? Yes. *continues examination* We've had enough surprises lately. so what's going on? not that I know of *smiles* something wonderful, at least from my vantage point What do you have? *annoyed* and that would be........ * Fragment looks up as SP and Sky enter the bar* Diablo, are you sure it's wise to bring a companion-type bot online without a host? * SkySiren looks at the newcomer to the bar and smiles a little * Shadowpaw looks at Fragment and isn't the least bit surprised he's there * Fragment nods to the ladies as they walk past * Dead_Lift walks over to Diablo and Bit wouldn't have a clue The nanites in your body are free from fighting the virus, and are beginning to do their assigned funtion. Your body is recreating itself, replacing all the damaged living tissue with micro-robotic components If you allow him to be rebuilt, I can keep an eye on him if you are concerned, Wait. meaning, what? You're becoming a Cybertronian, at least in a sense Sky - want anything? fucking great Ytse! This is all I need! I'm gonna be a micro-master now! What do drinks do you have Shadow? Well, we should be there in about three days. Trilana, send a msg to that bot that asked about joining up at New Iceland. Tell him we're on our way * Shadowpaw pauses Calm down! No, you're not going to be a micro-master. The nanites are what is allowing you to be conscious right now. They are allowing your body the chance to rebuild itself. They can simply do the job faster and better. Actually.... not really a lot when Wait isn't here... * Stardrive sends a message. Well, I'm gonna go find out just how happy our crew really is. Call if ya need me Waitstate * SkySiren laughs "Then whatever is around" Alright * Trilana sends a message *pissed* How is this going to affect my robot body? * Fragment finishes his drink and sits at Scope's table you don't say much Scopey, how ya been? They'll be waiting. Well Diablo, I guess I can approve your project. Just so long as you do it on your time. Don't bug Restore too much and all Fine. That remains to be seen. I'm guessing you'll have even more control than before. Try it out, and get back to me. * Ytsejam stumbles You OK? eh...just fine. Well I guess you don't want to talk eh Where's ShadowPaw.....I haven't confettied anyone lately * Blacknife jokes *tired* yeah , I'll be fine. My systems aren't repairing themselves as fast as I would like. * Blacknife juggles a grenade * Ayreon looks over his friend, then leaves Ytse's lab "Let me know if you need anything" * Restore finishes some minor repair work on Crevas all done speed freak, you can go * Blacknife shrugs at his being ignored * Crevas zooms out fo medbay * Blacknife taps fingers * Ayreon heads for the bar, and silently calls for his robot body thanks Wait * Fragment leaves Scope in peace and moves over to the jukebox Fragment> Let's see..... * Blacknife sets autopilot * Dead_Lift looks around Diablo, just remember: the first sign of a repeat of Chameleon's entrance and your friend gets the axe * Diablo leaves for Medbay If you need me buzz What to do, what to do.... * Fragment notes Cirrus enter the bar * Blacknife departs the bridge * Shadowpaw gets a bottle of standard energon derivative and two mugs Yo Cirrus, pick us something... nice Maybe literally if we can find one. * Shadowpaw looks over as Cirrus enters * Blacknife looks around for some excitement Wait a minute, how old are you? *to diab* and so will you Eh, what kinda music do you like, anyway? hrphmm...suppose I better check who still is here and if anyone joined while I was gone Old enough :) how 'bout some.....drinking music ;) * Blacknife goes to a nearby console * SkySiren slowly nods her head not fully believing Shadow * Ayreon enters the bar, and finds a quite table in a darkened corner Drinking music... hmm... * Diablo enters Medbay * Opal enters the bar and sits with Sky and SP* * Blacknife reads list of crew heya! how's it going * Shadowpaw looks at Opal and smiles * SkySiren smiles at Opal as well Great, and you? * Cirrus keys in some 21st century German electronica Hmmm...the new one I brought along with me....and new one I don't recognize *to Cirrus* man check that out, 3 robo babes and none safe enough to be near * Blacknife goes off in search of the new one Hmm...everyone seems to be headed to the bar. If I'm not needed here, I think I'll go get a drink. alright * Ayreon's robot body enters the bar, and stands idle at the door * Dead_Lift turns to Wait Is the computer going to let me LEAVE? * Phoenyx sits happily on Scamp's head * Dead_Lift chuckles and heads for the door heh heh, body bot is back Is it possible the bird is still infected with the plague? *singing to himself* can't you feel the emptiness in my heart......... Why don't you answer me? Hey Ayreon, your body is here * SkySiren looks at her drink "What is this stuff?" * Dead_Lift leaves the bridge and heads for the bar * Ayreon doesn't notice the room I'll go make a few finishing touches on my body * Ayreon's body walks over to Ayreon and sits down * Blacknife goes in the rather populated bar I dunno Sky, but I think mine is glowing *grinning* I hope that's a good thing * Blacknife grumbles at the site of Ayreon * Shadowpaw takes a sip and grins at Opal and Sky *to Cirrus* Let's go see if we can get anywhere with 'em ;) That slagging... Me too * Stardrive gets bored standing behind the command chair and sits at the helm. * a dim glow radiates from corner where Ayreon is sitting, then all is dark and quite again * Blacknife notices ShadowPaw You go on. I -LIKE- my body parts :) * Blacknife tosses a confetti grenade by ShadowPaw's feet and runs Maybe we should have let Shadow drink first you my friend, are never gonna get hitched * Shadowpaw shrieks as confetti bursts everywhere over her, Opal and Sky hey Restore, Wait said it was ok * Fragment heads over to the ladies* * Dead_Lift enters the bar * Blacknife chuckles hey! *turns to BK* * Shadowpaw glares at BK * Cirrus laughs hm, alright...lay the pieces out on a med table * Ayreon's Body leaves the table and walks up to the bar I'm BACK!!! * SkySiren takes out one of her swords and glares at BK I'll start the drones on him, I have to quickly finish this report * Shadowpaw looks at Sky and laughs It's OK, he's just being his usual idiotic self * Diablo gets the container then sorts out the pieces watch this girls *gets up and walks over to BK So where's this ShadowStrike fella? heya Opal I was just--- I haven't had the opportunity to meet this one *patting Fragment on the head* hi little guy *continues to BK* * Ayreon's body looks back at the darkened corner * Waitstate suddenly realizes how empty the bridge is * Chameleon leaves Medbay and heads for the Bar * Opal plants a kiss on BK, taking him by surprise* EH?! * SkySiren laughs hey gorgeous Woooo * Blacknife glares at Opal Is that a kiss of death? eh....always the tall dark guys. * Dead_Lift watches in amazement I didn't get my question answered Hey, Ayreon! Are you gonna join the party or are you just going to sit back there and sing all night? * Blacknife stays stoic * Opal slides her hand down BK's thigh* Shadowstrike is the head babe on this crate sweet thing * Fragment approaches SP and Sky Another femme? so uh... I'm static! how 'bout you? * Dead_Lift walks over to SP and Sky * Blacknife grabs Opal's hand roughly and takes it off Thanks Mind if I join you? * Blacknife gets out of the bar quickly * Shadowpaw looks at Sky and giggles anytime tall dark and secretive ;) * Shadowpaw motions DL to sit down on the stool next to Opal's yikes * Opal returns to her seat "Oh hey Fraggy" Thanks * Dead_Lift takes the seat hey! * Blacknife goes to another console.... * SkySiren takes another sip He's not answering *me*?! * Restore finishes the report and starts to reconstruct the bot Interesting... for a head babe she's in the medbay * Blacknife heads for the medbay * Ayreon's body stalks back into the shadows * Dead_Lift takes his cannon off his shoulder, places it on the counter and begins to tinker * Shadowpaw motions Fragment to sit next to her What are you doing Deadlift? ahe... er, no thanks *heads to Cirrus's table* * Chameleon enters the Bar Just checking it out. I don't want it to backfire on me, with it being next to my head and all * Blacknife enters Medbay * Blacknife looks around curiously * Cirrus leans against the bar next to Dead Lift Knock Knock Anyone home? Just be mindful of *those*. *Points to autoguns* Turn that thing on and they'll turn on YOU * SkySiren straightens up when Chameleon enters the bar hehe, wouldn't dream of it. * Shadowstrike lays unconcious on one of the med tables, her internal repair systems still working. * Chameleon finds a table with no one at it and sits * Shadowpaw looks at Sky curiously ironically, this is probly the most secure room on the ship! femmes. huh. Whoops... she's still fixing herself * Dead_Lift shuts a panel on the cannon and places it back on his shoulder. * SkySiren watches Cham until he sits down Looks good. *to Sky* anything wrong? * Blacknife checks on Shadowstrike's progress Blacknife, you have about 5 seconds to explain why you're in here poking about in things you shouldn't be *Shaking her head* no... I'm alright *looks unconvinced* ok * Blacknife looks at Restore with an uncaring glance awww, Sky's just the ever on duty type ;) * Restore returns the glare Just wanted to meet all the ones that joined LONAC after I left for a brief bit * Diablo lets Spiderbot loose How much longer does she have? * Cirrus leans back against the bar and begins humming a counter-point tune to the techno on the jukebox Hmm... and drunk while on duty too Not long, I imagine only 20mins or so * Blacknife grumbles Ugh, will someone change the music, I'm getting a headache * Spiderbot runs for the bar* I'm glad I'm not the only one... * Shadowpaw nods in agreement to Sky and goes over to the jukebox * Blacknife barely speaks the word thanks and leaves medbay Hey! * Stardrive presses a few buttons and the Freedom does a roll. man, I said drinking music, not head smashing music Neat. * SkySiren laughs *calling over to Sky, Opal etc* Any requests?? * Blacknife goes to yet another console something better! C'mon, it was light stuff. You people just don't know music! so uh, you ever get more than the word 'fine' out of Scope? We know good music * Blacknife uses his Adjunct status to get even more info on ShadowStrike... odd * Scope hears Fragment and glares at him * Spiderbot enters the bar and makes a jump towards Cham's table * Fragment waves with a grin * Shadowstrike wakes up slowly, sits up and looks around medbay very disorientedly... *to Opal* like? * Waitstate notes an access to the personell files how do you feel? Like someone used my head as a drum.... how did I get in here? * Waitstate makes sure to log the whole thing * Blacknife sends a message to Waitstate.....just getting updated info on the new ones anything! * Opal puts arm around DL and takes another drink *shrugs* O--K... *looks over the selection slowly* Um...yeah.... you were dragged here Literally * SkySiren finishes her drink and slowly gets off the barstool * Dead_Lift turns to Opal You see your arm? After you slagged an entire city with the ship's main gun that is *what*? * Blacknife returns to Medbay.... am I making you feel uncomfortable sweet thing? whoa That is not amusing, Restore... I was kinda wondering what it is doing on me. no it isn't. do you want to watch the replay? or talk to Wait about it. because it isn't a joke * Blacknife overheard the slagging part.... and listens in * Cirrus sulks in a corner * Spiderbot wanders around the Bar and looks at everyone * SkySiren leans on the bar and walks over to shadow "Woah, it's been too long since I drank" * Shadowstrike shakes her head. I couldn't have. don't worry handsome, it's harmless * Ayreon joins with his robot body * Blacknife stays behind the bulkhead to remain unnoticed Well, as long as it's harmless. well you did. 100% likely because of the plague Oh and BTW, Waitstate wanted to see you on some other matter too I believe * Shadowpaw looks at Opal and DL in amusement from the jukebox The last thing I remember... I fell headfirst into the doorframe of my quarters... Where is he? I'd assume the bridge, being the workaholic he is *gives up on picking some music and returns to the bar* * Ayreon walks over to the jukebox and programs in "The Gathering" All right, then, I suppose that's where I'd better go... * Shadowpaw looks over at Ayr Hows about you gets us girls some more drinks Dead Lift? ;) * Depressing music begins to play * SkySiren falls into a chair next to Fragment * Dead_Lift looks around * Cirrus unplugs the the jukebox out of spite * Blacknife acts as though he's walking around the area Hey, Ayreon! Come and sit here will ya? * Stardrive continues to fool with the helm. *to himself* you aways did like the sad stuff If I had the slightest clue where they were, I might just do that. * Diablo leaves Medbay and heads for the Bar * Dead_Lift chuckles * Ayreon looks at SP sure! * Blacknife bumps into Shadowstrike *nudges cirrus* lookie here! *to sky* so sky, how'd ya like to party? * The Freedom does a figure-8 * Shadowstrike looks at Blacknife * Blacknife looks back Excuse me... * Ayreon sits down by SP I dunno about her, but I -don't- like to party Was'up kitten? * Shadowpaw turns away from DL and Opal to face Ayreon "how you feeling?" * Shadowstrike continues on her way to the bridge. no excuse necessary party..?? so DL, tell me about yourself ;) I just like to hang about with people *shrug* well... this will be an interesting one I'm fine Shadowpaw. In fact, you could say I feel "complete" again Well...where to start... * Shadowstrike arrives at the bridge. * Diablo enters the bar and notices the mass of people as he goes to Cham's table *to Cirrus* shut up will ya, I got her eating outta my hand * Blacknife goes to the bridge as well * to sky* yeah ya know, party, get funky, get wild ;) Wait? * SkySiren bursts out laughing Shadowstrike requests bridge access let her in * Doors open Before joining up with this merry band, I was a Con' working for a pathetic leader on Cybertron * Shadowstrike steps onto the bridge. *smiles* Good heh, looks like Fraggy is trying to score a date again * Waitstate stands and turns *quietly* Wait, what's going on? * Blacknife arrives at bridge we're on our way to the New Iceland system Good to see you up and about ah good old nutty galvie, he ain't half as cute as you are ;) * Blacknife slips in Restore's telling me that I attacked something... I don't remember it... what's happened? hm You blew up a city Aw, thanks I don't think so Fragment *still laughing* A city? What city? Tri, pull up video log 2239.111, time index 13:47 No prob handsome, but I'm afraid I'll have to be going * Blacknife takes helm postition.. * Opal gets up and goes to leave, but noties Scope * Diablo recalls Spiderbot * Opal approaches Scope, grabs him by the sides of his head and plants a long kiss on his mouth * Blacknife listens in * Trilana puts it onscreen. slag. * Dead_Lift watches Opal *to himself* he had me doing what? Is she ALWAYS like this? * Shadowstrike watches the screen.. * Security video of events on the bridge and viewscreen play back * Blacknife watches as well haha! all the time Dead! * Shadowstrike stares at the screen with a horrified look, and says nothing. I hope she fights as well as she flirts... * Stardrive goes back and stands behind Wait. er... well, uh, I guess I'll be going.....um, thanks anyway Sky..... *to cirrus* good luck buddy * Stardrive sits in Lil's chair. * Video finishes * Chameleon leaves the bar and heads for Medbay So... there you, er, have it ouch * Shadowstrike mutters a curse under her breath * Ayreon leaves the bar I can't believe it... No one is blaming you if that helps * Blacknife realizes that he just revealed himself to the others .... and no one was hurt actually... it led to the cure * Shadowstrike is stunned. * Diablo looks out a window and thinks to himself But I leveled an entire city? With no reason? No reason? noo... there was one. Something deep down in you must have wanted to for some reason. Your reasoning centers kinda snapped, and you acted on it It happened to me a few times toward the end * Blacknife piques up in curioustiy But I don't remember it. as I said, your mind wasn't in the best state I didn't hurt anyone? just the science console * Ayreon heads for the holo-deck What a mess... indeed blowing up a whole city seems to do that * Shadowstrike looks at Blacknife, and then back to Wait. Restore said you needed to see me about something *else*? ah, yes... I'll need Lil for this one * Shadowstrike changes the subject quickly as she can. *confused* ok. [Comm] Admiral Lilwall, report to the conference room well, er, I'm gonna head out *to cirrus* good luck with her buddy * Fragment leaves the bar err... * Scope gets up and leaves the bar, returning to his quarters [com] on my way *to Sky* Sorry 'bout that. He's a bit pushy Stardrive, you have the bridge. *turns to Shadowstrike* C'mon It's alright OK. * Waitstate head to the conference room captain's mast * Shadowstrike follows Wait like someone headed to her own execution... * Artifice appears in the conference room * Stardrive sits in the command chair. * Waitstate ignores BK, wondering what he's on about * Autumn Beauty breaks open packs of seeds she's had over the last few months and begins to replace all her dead plants * Waitstate enters *trying to look serious* How long have you been with Lonac? * Admiral-Lilwall enters the conference room Artifice, I didn't realize you were awake. Good... * LONAC Emblem attaches to the wall, unnoticed Well... everyone have a seat Great * Shadowstrike sits down tentatively. * Admiral-Lilwall takes his seat So what do we need to talk about? * Dead_Lift leaves the bar Well, me and Lil have already discussed it. I'm afraid you were unconcious at the time About the Military Consul position. * Shadowstrike raises an eyebrow well, thank you for blowing the surprise, but he's right er, sorry :) recent events not withstanding, we have seriously been considering you for a Council position * Dead_Lift enters the bridge Hey Dead Lift.. I see... but considering recent events? Unauthorized personell attempting to enter the bridge Hey BK Bah! heh..not approved yet eh? * Shadowpaw gets up and heads to the bridge Considering recent events, we still are. In fact, it kinda worked as a recommendation in your favor * Shadowpaw attempts to enter the bridge *surprised* And how is that? * Doors open for SP Computer, let him in. Thank you Stardrive. to be completely honest... had you not trashed that city in your....disturbed plague state, That computer and I are going to have words... we wouldn't have found a way to defeat the plague * Blacknife chuckles Hey BK Wait programmed it himself, I believe. Hey ConfettiPaw It really did lead to a cure? * Shadowpaw glares * Blacknife chuckles again in a way, it created the cure Surprisingly enough, yes. It's getting crowded in here. How long till we reach our destination, Stardrive? You're going to have to fill me in... We should have kept locked up You'll get the full report soon All right. we haven't read it all ourselves Blacknife? Junky and Restore are almost finished with it ETA? * Diablo stares out the window next to the table At current speed and course, 2 days, 19 hours, 21 minutes Artifice, I understand you almost killed a few bots down on the planet, maybe we should lock you up as well? *enters Medbay* Well... there you have it. um...yep Ah, at last that damn thing is helpful Maybe you should have Admiral It's what I would have done I'm rather busy putting your... friend back together Chameleon, so make it breif * Shadowstrike glowers at Artifice. I just find it a bit odd that Shadowstrike is getting a promotion so soon after blowing up a quater of the planet Artifice, if we did it your way all the time, no one would be out of the brig ;) I didn't know what I was doing, Artifice. Well, we HAD planned it beofre she did that... You got a point there Admiral. I'd put everyone in the brig if I had it my way So was I. Restore has assured us the effects of the plague on Shadowstrike played a large part in it I still don't trust her and yes, we were discussing this before the event happened. You don't trust ANYONE though I trust almost no one I was just wondering if you could run a scan on me to see if I'll be having any more psycho attacks from the thing I got off Diablo, but I'll come back later but some are exceptions. * Chameleon starts to leave for his quarters hold it right there one more step and you'll be welded to the wall, get back in here *stops* sit down over there and wait. * Chameleon moves over and sits down * Blacknife ponders what Wait said about ShadowStrike hiding something..... * Artifice looks to Shadowstrike * Shadowpaw sighs and leaves the bridge, heading to her quarters Any of you know about where Shadowstrike came from? Of all those on the ship, I trust you the least * Artifice gets up and leaves there is no information available on her. I know only what she has spoken slag... I didn't expect him to react like that * Shadowstrike calls after him. "You're not particularly high on my list, either." ugh. well that went well. * Artifice heads to the bar I don't know... I really don't care much. What she has spoken?...geez... * Shadowstrike sighs He just hasn't gotten to know you like I have Well, I'm heading back to the bar. Want to join me for a drink, BK? * Trilana shrugs * SkySiren's head hits the table as she falls into recharge Are you sure this is such a great idea? Um... no thanks I have more information I need to gather * Blacknife begins to plot Well, not as sure as I was an hour ago... Should we let him cool off? Hell yes I'm certainly not going to win any popularity contests, not after what happened. I don't wanna talk to him when he's like this Suit yourself. * Dead_Lift leaves the bridge Can I get a secured line through the comm? I need to contact some old aquaintances * Dead_Lift wanders down the hallway towards the bar not everyone onboard blames you. some understand it was the plague effecting you I had actually planned a trial, till Restore assured me it wasn't really your fault. I trust her judgement in such things. * Dead_Lift enters the bar and sits down at a table * Blacknife decides to get a secured line himself... *dejectedly* And how many are like him? Not that I can blame them. It was a dishonorable thing to do. * Blacknife drops jaw at the info that is relayed back to him Dark Force probably, Cuffs and Skysiren probably as well, and Scope What the slag?! Blacknife too, probly Blacknife... what are you doing? but the rest... well, they're a pretty understanding bunch But look at it this way, Council positions are decided by the Council, no one else, and it's majority rule. * Shadowstrike shakes her head. Nothing.... * Blacknife keeps info to himself And besides, does it *really* matter to you what others think of you? Tri? If they don't trust me... that matters. * Trilana patches into BK's data stream. Maybe. But it's not their call. * Diablo quickly leaves the bar and heads to his quarters * Trilana bounces the signal to Stardrive What does your brain tell you? Are you worthy of this position? and ignore the event, that was plagued. comp displays data that indicates Shadowstrike's file obviously tampered with I -am- afraid I... -I- mind you, may have offended Artifice though. He just never has seemed too interested in decision making outside his own field I have the experience necessary. What I don't have *here* is the trust. Interesting... But meaningless. All things considered. It is, of course, your call. Is there a reason for pulling up Shadowstrike's file, or are you just bored? What business is it of ours to judge Well, what we have so far is only what she has spoken * Artifice slams his fist on the bar and heads for the conference room and she takes out an entire city... even with that bug * Cirrus watches him leave, surprised by the outburst Things have changed a bit since you left... it's not all that unusual anymore... for better or worse. Geez... what's with him? Wait was right she's hiding something big time I was right about Avalon... * Artifice arrives at the door to the conference room and speaks into the comm [comm] Wait, may I have a few words with you? * Stardrive shrugs. You've been away too long... you'll get used to things. * Blacknife grunts I'm sure Sigh... [comm] One moment Artifice I just hope whatever is going on with her doesn't become involved with us If you'll excuse me, I think the fires may have cooled. ...or been stoked * Shadowstrike nods * Waitstate exits the room Look Wait, I know I was harsh * Spiderbot pops out of Diablo's arm and heads for the bridge Perhaps Shadowsrtike is not the only one hiding something I know that we get a lot of untrustworthies here * Dead_Lift watches Artifice storm out hm, all he needs now is to be powered up. * Spiderbot arrives on the bridge and wanders around * Dead_Lift follows Artifice from a distance that is irrelevant, even you should know to trust Restore's judgement What the heck is that? * Blacknife points at Spiderbot * Waitstate leans against the wall and listens to Artifice * Admiral_Lilwall sighs. "I thought things were supposed to be easy after a life threatening crisis" * Spiderbot jumps onto a console and looks at everyone on the bridge Most of them come here to leave the past behind, and start all over again. Diablo and his friend were a handful, but easily delt with * Spiderbot jumps towards Blacknife Eh?! * Blacknife gets out his swords No casting webs little mech * Lightning sneers at the spiderbot * Spiderbot moves back* Shadowstrike, she's different. Not only does she seem to dwell in her past, but she did the most damage out of all of use who were influenced by the plague One of the reasons I set up the new bridge security Even if the plague never happened, we still don't know much about her. How can she get promoted? * Spiderbot puts selfdestruct mode on standby * Blacknife swipes at Spiderbot There has to be something you're not telling me Wait * Stardrive wonders how it got in.

If you recall, I trusted you in even less time Even little droid mechs get on the bridge Yeah... I have to tell Wait about that... You shouldn't have I was right though, wasnt I? :P Lucky guess Look, if you really trust her, I'll go with your vote to appoint her to military Consul But if there's something you're not telling me, I'll find out One way or another It was the same with Lil and Stardrive. I mean, look at what Lil used to be like. And now he's second in command. Listen, I get people in the bar, and they open up to me. You've seen me do it. Times have changed. You've got much more than a bar now I know. * Spiderbot starts beeping then goes back to Diablo's quarters I just... I just know I can trust her * Stardrive watches the 'bot leave. * Blacknife attaches a magnetic confetti grenade to it before it went I can't offer you any more than that. Because there isn't any more. * Artifice looks at Waitstate for a second That should teach Diablo to not let those things run around * Dead_Lift walks back to the bar Very well.
