Session Summary: The crew, minus Wu, make for the
Machinal on a shuttle dressed in their uniforms. Lester, who had made the plan to pull of the caper, decides that today is a good day to steal the clock because there is a major concert planned and any diversion is a good thing. They reach the ship and realise soon enough that something is off: it is
too quiet and they encounter nobody at all on their way to the V.I.P. suites, where the clock is being held. They get the clock, and a chicken lizard (read, little feather-y dinosaur) named Fluffy. The lights suddenly go out and while the crew tries to make their getaway with their loot, they get attacked by ninjas. Mansi and Eli's nose get broken, among other injuries, but they otherwise manage to get through the incident with minor losses. They make it to their shuttle with the clock and the chicken lizard and narrowly avoid getting picked up by three Alliance boats.

scottthesock (7:08:26 PM): Hi folks.
bluesunslayer (7:08:30 PM): Hey guys.
jerks inc (7:08:35 PM): Hi.
bluesunslayer (7:08:37 PM): Lav's dad is hogging the compy
bluesunslayer (7:08:43 PM): Once he's off, we're clear for takeoff.
jerks inc (7:08:49 PM): Cool.
bluesunslayer (7:08:50 PM): One second....
scottthesock (7:08:51 PM): Oops.
jerks inc (7:09:02 PM): Word on wolf is that he gets his comp back late this week.
jerks inc (7:09:06 PM): Just fyi.
bluesunslayer (7:09:21 PM): Ok
bluesunslayer (7:09:32 PM): Thanks for hte heads up
bluesunslayer (7:10:14 PM): While we wait, everyone get out your copy of the RPG book and review the layout of El Dorado.
scottthesock (7:12:06 PM): Wow. Big ship.
jerks inc (7:13:15 PM): Yeah it is.
bluesunslayer (7:13:35 PM): Hence the wacky fun
bluesunslayer (7:14:18 PM): This is the layout Isidor gave you
bluesunslayer (7:14:23 PM): Only hers is more detailed
scottthesock (7:17:07 PM): Security office is deck 4, bow. Either need to avoid it like herbasimplex-10 or hit it hard.
bluesunslayer (7:17:22 PM): Lester's got a plan
bluesunslayer (7:17:24 PM): for that
scottthesock (7:17:38 PM): k
jerks inc (7:18:25 PM): pardon my lack of text for a few moments. I'm still trying to get my brain to function.
purpledragicorn (7:18:32 PM): here here
aodhnait fara has entered the room.
jerks inc (7:18:50 PM): I woke up, no joke, like five minutes ago.
bluesunslayer (7:18:50 PM): Ok
scottthesock (7:18:56 PM): heh. it looks as though one of the main purposes of this boat is to meet up with a companion.
scottthesock (7:19:10 PM): hey lav
bluesunslayer (7:19:10 PM): There's also gambeling and an autotorium
bluesunslayer (7:19:12 PM): but yes
aodhnait fara (7:19:17 PM): (going on invisible)
bluesunslayer (7:19:33 PM): Lav, please pull out your RPG book and turn it to the page with the El Dorado layout
aodhnait fara (7:19:44 PM): done
bluesunslayer (7:19:49 PM): That is the layout for Machinal, which you will be robbing tonight.
bluesunslayer (7:19:54 PM): ok
aodhnait fara (7:20:04 PM): ok
bluesunslayer (7:20:16 PM): You'll have to forgive me tonight. I'm coming down with a bug, so I'm dumber than usual tonight.
aodhnait fara (7:20:30 PM): :-(
bluesunslayer (7:20:33 PM): Also, you'll notice Wolfe is not here.
jerks inc (7:20:36 PM): Thank god, I won't feel like the only half retarded person here.
aodhnait fara (7:20:36 PM): *gives you tea*
aodhnait fara (7:20:40 PM): Yes, I notice.
bluesunslayer (7:20:52 PM): Which is why Wu will no be in your party tonight. Lester will be taking his place.
bluesunslayer (7:20:57 PM): In game reason:
scottthesock (7:20:57 PM): So you're only a genius instead of a super genius - bah
aodhnait fara (7:21:03 PM): haha
purpledragicorn (7:21:11 PM): quit sucking up to the dm scott
purpledragicorn (7:21:13 PM): ;)
bluesunslayer (7:21:16 PM): (You're a sweetie, Scott.)
bluesunslayer (7:21:22 PM): (But it won't save your character)
jerks inc (7:21:26 PM): pwned.
scottthesock (7:21:36 PM): (didn't mean for it to)
bluesunslayer (7:21:51 PM): Ok. Eli charged Lester with the task of coming up with a brilliant plan to rob the ship.
aodhnait fara (7:21:52 PM): (I sort of agree with him anyway, so that makes what he's saying true)
scottthesock (7:22:16 PM): (just don't shoot him in the jewels. chest before jewels)
bluesunslayer (7:22:17 PM): Which he has done. Unforutnatley for Lester, his skills are needed for the job, so he has to join the party
jerks inc (7:22:40 PM): Aww.
jerks inc (7:22:44 PM): Poor lester earning his keep.
bluesunslayer (7:22:45 PM): Since someone has to stay with the ship, Wu has to stay behind.
aodhnait fara (7:22:53 PM): Good reason
scottthesock (7:22:57 PM): Makes sense. Keep it warm.
aodhnait fara (7:23:05 PM): Or you know, prep the getaway car
bluesunslayer (7:23:18 PM): So, for the sake of expediency, we'll say that Lester went to Isidor and got a uniform for himself.
jerks inc (7:23:37 PM): I only wish Eli knew how fourties gangers spoke, or he'd be mimicking one all night.
bluesunslayer (7:23:38 PM): Also, you will notice that Emi is here this evening.
bluesunslayer (7:23:43 PM): She's taking a break from homework.
bluesunslayer (7:23:50 PM): So be entertaining, dammit.
purpledragicorn (7:23:52 PM): *waves*
scottthesock (7:23:55 PM): WHOO
purpledragicorn (7:23:59 PM): entertain me my puppets!
purpledragicorn (7:24:04 PM): dance monkies dance!
aodhnait fara (7:24:06 PM): *glomps Emi*
scottthesock (7:24:15 PM): *piles on*
jerks inc (7:24:20 PM): *bags Emi in a potato sack and throws her in the closet*
jerks inc (7:24:25 PM): WOOOO! Teamwork!
aodhnait fara (7:24:29 PM): hahaha
purpledragicorn (7:24:35 PM): if you make my spleen explode you pay the hospital bills
bluesunslayer (7:24:39 PM): Alrighty. So, here is the plan that Lester's devised.
bluesunslayer (7:24:59 PM): Underdog is pink
aodhnait fara (7:25:26 PM): *raises eyebrow at Eli*
bluesunslayer (7:25:40 PM): There is no way of pulling this job and getting away with it if the ship gets spotted
bluesunslayer (7:25:51 PM): It's too damn conspicuous.
bluesunslayer (7:26:08 PM): So, Wu will stay behind with the ship, out of sensor range.
bluesunslayer (7:26:41 PM): Mansi, Eli, Lester, and Runner will leave in the shuttle (Captain's Launch on the ship plans), and fly the rest of the way to Machinal.
bluesunslayer (7:27:25 PM): According to the information Isidor gave you, the Clock of Long Now is being kept in a locked room on the VIP suites.
bluesunslayer (7:27:38 PM): They're on Deck Four, in the far aft of the ship.
bluesunslayer (7:27:45 PM): (Page 131 of the book)
bluesunslayer (7:27:52 PM): Do you all see that?
aodhnait fara (7:28:12 PM): I see it
scottthesock (7:28:16 PM): Yeah. Looks to be 3 of them.
bluesunslayer (7:28:28 PM): Exactly. Do you see it, Eric?
jerks inc (7:28:35 PM): Yeah.
bluesunslayer (7:28:43 PM): Good.
bluesunslayer (7:29:11 PM): Look up a bit at the red dot labeled "VIP docking ring"
bluesunslayer (7:29:16 PM): That is where you'll enter.
aodhnait fara (7:29:20 PM): I see it
aodhnait fara (7:29:22 PM): wow
bluesunslayer (7:30:08 PM): According to the schedule of events, there's a concert going on in the Amphitheater.
bluesunslayer (7:30:34 PM): That will divert most of the passengers and crew away from the area so you can dock, enter, pick the lock, and steal the clock.
aodhnait fara (7:30:51 PM): Catchy
jerks inc (7:30:51 PM): Roger.
bluesunslayer (7:30:57 PM): Rhyming uninentional
bluesunslayer (7:31:20 PM): If you encounter anyone, your cover is that you're a special security detail.
bluesunslayer (7:31:27 PM): Any questions?
aodhnait fara (7:31:52 PM): None so far
bluesunslayer (7:32:07 PM): Ok then.
bluesunslayer (7:32:25 PM): Is there any last minute buisness you wish to conduct before you leave Beaumonde?
scottthesock (7:32:43 PM): Not that is quick so no.
purpledragicorn (7:32:59 PM): make the monkies dance faster?
purpledragicorn (7:33:02 PM): i mean
purpledragicorn (7:33:03 PM): >.>
purpledragicorn (7:33:04 PM): <.<
purpledragicorn (7:33:07 PM): *shuts up*
aodhnait fara (7:33:15 PM): *tickles Emi*
aodhnait fara (7:33:21 PM): No last minute business
bluesunslayer (7:33:22 PM): Also, take note of your plot point pool.
jerks inc (7:33:48 PM): Trans: Use em'!
aodhnait fara (7:33:57 PM): Yessit
aodhnait fara (7:33:59 PM): *Yessir
bluesunslayer (7:34:11 PM): Anything over six has been converted to Advancement points.
bluesunslayer (7:34:15 PM): Make a note of that.
aodhnait fara (7:34:19 PM): Noted
bluesunslayer (7:34:29 PM): And then add three plot points to your pool.
bluesunslayer (7:34:34 PM): You now have nine.
scottthesock (7:34:36 PM): I think I only have 3 but will check
bluesunslayer (7:34:37 PM): No more.
aodhnait fara (7:34:49 PM): Yeah, Scott. You start out with six
bluesunslayer (7:35:03 PM): You start the game with six
scottthesock (7:35:09 PM): Oh. Then I have 9.
aodhnait fara (7:35:14 PM): So any plot points Li has given you over that goes to Advancement if you haven't used any
bluesunslayer (7:35:17 PM): If he's spent three so far, then he might have three
bluesunslayer (7:35:27 PM): Exactly, Lav
scottthesock (7:35:41 PM): No. I have 11. Ok.
jerks inc (7:35:45 PM): HOWEVER, that does not include points under six that you had in the previous game.
jerks inc (7:36:03 PM): for instance, Eli had six points. He uses none, the next game starts, he does not now have 12 points, he still only has six.
bluesunslayer (7:36:11 PM): Exactly
aodhnait fara (7:36:11 PM): yep
jerks inc (7:36:21 PM): had he started the game with 7, one would go to advancement points, and he'd be reduced back to six.
bluesunslayer (7:36:23 PM): Those six points are from the start of the game, not the start of the session
bluesunslayer (7:36:30 PM): yes
jerks inc (7:36:44 PM): Rules Lawyer: Attourney at Pwn.
aodhnait fara (7:36:50 PM): :P
scottthesock (7:36:55 PM): So you have to use them that night or during that plot?
jerks inc (7:37:14 PM): Right. There's no roll-over.
bluesunslayer (7:37:22 PM): If you don't use them, they roll over into Advancement points
jerks inc (7:37:28 PM): But keeping them means you have the possibility of gaining an advancement point.
jerks inc (7:37:43 PM): IE if you were to earn another point, raising you past 6.
scottthesock (7:38:03 PM): I started with 6, was given 3 at the end of the first game. We're in the second game and I've gotten two awarded. Do I still have 11?
jerks inc (7:38:26 PM): no, but you have 5 AP
jerks inc (7:38:36 PM): and you go back to 6 plot points.
jerks inc (7:38:59 PM): After ever session, any plot points you have over six get converted to AP.
jerks inc (7:39:03 PM): every*
jerks inc (7:39:14 PM): Always.
scottthesock (7:39:18 PM): Ok. I'll read up on them in the book.
jerks inc (7:39:25 PM): Awesome.
bluesunslayer (7:39:29 PM): Ok
bluesunslayer (7:39:41 PM): So, at this moment Scott, you have nine in your pool
scottthesock (7:39:42 PM): I'll just use them tonight if I need them and see what happens. :-)
bluesunslayer (7:39:45 PM): Six from what you started with.
bluesunslayer (7:39:54 PM): Three from what I just gave you now, his minute
scottthesock (7:40:29 PM): I got 1 on 10/25 and one on 11/1. Those are gone?
bluesunslayer (7:40:50 PM): No.
bluesunslayer (7:40:57 PM): They're advancement points now
bluesunslayer (7:41:03 PM): Scott, read up on it later.
bluesunslayer (7:41:05 PM): You have nine now.
scottthesock (7:41:07 PM): Ok.
bluesunslayer (7:41:09 PM): That's what you need to know
bluesunslayer (7:41:14 PM): Any other questions.
aodhnait fara (7:41:40 PM): none :-)
scottthesock (7:41:42 PM): 1 - how many advancement points do you show me having?
bluesunslayer (7:41:51 PM): I don't keep track.
bluesunslayer (7:41:54 PM): That is YOUR job
aodhnait fara (7:42:01 PM): From what you just told us, Scott, it's 5
bluesunslayer (7:42:04 PM): You are on the honor system
aodhnait fara (7:42:15 PM): unless we start out with some AP
bluesunslayer (7:42:20 PM): no
scottthesock (7:42:24 PM): Ok. 5 AP and 9 plot.
bluesunslayer (7:42:30 PM): Alrighty
bluesunslayer (7:42:46 PM): With that settled, any other questions?
purpledragicorn (7:43:18 PM): *keeps mouth shut*
bluesunslayer (7:43:27 PM): Damn straight, you are
aodhnait fara (7:43:44 PM): *gives Emi a lollipop*
bluesunslayer (7:44:06 PM): No other questions?
bluesunslayer (7:44:30 PM): Be aware, intrusive questions mid-game may be punishable by horrible hobo attack.
scottthesock (7:44:33 PM): I'll email if I have another on the points thing.
bluesunslayer (7:45:03 PM): ok.
bluesunslayer (7:45:46 PM): Last chance for stuff on Beaumonde before we get the ball rolling.
aodhnait fara (7:45:58 PM): Mansi: *buys chocolate*
aodhnait fara (7:45:59 PM): We're good
bluesunslayer (7:46:05 PM): Eric?
jerks inc (7:46:16 PM): I'm good.
bluesunslayer (7:46:28 PM): Ok.
scottthesock (7:46:30 PM): John: *buys big canister of whey protien*
jerks inc (7:46:35 PM): Wait.
bluesunslayer (7:46:43 PM): yes?
jerks inc (7:46:52 PM): Do we know if we'll need to pass between any detectors on our way to where we're going?
jerks inc (7:47:06 PM): That is to say, is Eli aware of anything that may percieve armor if any of them choose to wear it
jerks inc (7:47:13 PM): Aside from people.
jerks inc (7:47:20 PM): But people can be.. dealt with..
bluesunslayer (7:47:25 PM): Nothing appears on the schematics
aodhnait fara (7:47:28 PM): ominous
bluesunslayer (7:47:40 PM): Although, you are going in desguised as a security detail
jerks inc (7:47:41 PM): So no, Eli is not aware of some crazy metal detector?
bluesunslayer (7:47:49 PM): body armor wouldn't be out of place, presumably
jerks inc (7:47:55 PM): Awesome.
jerks inc (7:48:03 PM): However we're not aware of whether they're armed or not.
bluesunslayer (7:48:04 PM): No, he is not aware of any detector.
jerks inc (7:48:12 PM): Ok. We're good.
bluesunslayer (7:48:24 PM): Shiny.
bluesunslayer (7:48:29 PM): You leave Beaumonde.
bluesunslayer (7:49:00 PM): It takes you two days to reach the rendezvous point, just in time for your optimal caper window.
bluesunslayer (7:49:33 PM): Lester's been noticeably reticent the past few days. Moreso than usual.
bluesunslayer (7:50:18 PM): On another person, it might be construed as pouting. On him, it's more like brooding.
bluesunslayer (7:50:30 PM): (You can start doing things now)
jerks inc (7:50:34 PM): Emo!lester.
jerks inc (7:50:48 PM): Eli continues to walk around the ship dressed in his security getup.
jerks inc (7:51:00 PM): He continues to try to decide, quietly, whether wearing the armor beneath it makes him look fat.
aodhnait fara (7:51:09 PM): (Where's Lester at the moment?)
jerks inc (7:51:16 PM): Though he refuses to say anything, he is constantly stealing glances at his own butt, trying to decide.
aodhnait fara (7:51:22 PM): (Hee)
bluesunslayer (7:51:38 PM): He's in the galley, making sure his lockpicking kits are in order.
bluesunslayer (7:51:56 PM): He's already dressed for the caper.
bluesunslayer (7:52:13 PM): You have about fifteen minutes before you need to take off.
aodhnait fara (7:52:15 PM): Mansi stands at the door to the galley. "You get ready quick," she says.
bluesunslayer (7:52:42 PM): "How's that?"
aodhnait fara (7:53:40 PM): "We still have fifteen minutes before we need to make a mad dash to the shuttle," Mansi smirks. "The Captain is taking full advantage of that."
bluesunslayer (7:54:19 PM): "I prefer to go into dangerous situations prepared. To each his own."
aodhnait fara (7:54:48 PM): "Fair enough." Mansi takes a seat. "Do you also prefer going into dangerous situations all broody?"
bluesunslayer (7:55:12 PM): "I don't follow."
aodhnait fara (7:55:33 PM): Mansi gestures. "You've been... pouty lately."
aodhnait fara (7:55:39 PM): (I couldn't resist)
bluesunslayer (7:55:48 PM): He just stares at you.
jerks inc (7:56:10 PM): He's a robot.
aodhnait fara (7:56:32 PM): "Well, not so much pouty." Mansi thinks. "You know, all quiet, and thinking and keeping to yourself..."
scottthesock (7:56:50 PM): John shows up pondering how to hide a gun way too big into the uniform. He puts it here and there. It's too big.
aodhnait fara (7:56:50 PM): Oh, wait. "Never mind."
bluesunslayer (7:57:02 PM): "I'm a quiet person." He packs up his lockpicking kit and stashes it in his boot.
aodhnait fara (7:57:19 PM): "So I've noticed," she sighs.
aodhnait fara (7:57:40 PM): She turns to John, "You'll need a smaller gun."
scottthesock (7:58:29 PM): "I want this one though. It's got kick," he tries stuffing it in his pants leg.
bluesunslayer (7:59:01 PM): (Eric is goign to be AWOL for a while.)
bluesunslayer (7:59:07 PM): (So we've got some time to kill)
aodhnait fara (7:59:19 PM): "Yeah; Kicked right out of the ship."
bluesunslayer (7:59:38 PM): "This is a stealth mission, Lester, not a shoot out."
bluesunslayer (7:59:47 PM): er...
scottthesock (7:59:58 PM): (we got it :-) )
bluesunslayer (7:59:59 PM): "This is a stealth mission Runner, not a shoot out."
bluesunslayer (8:00:08 PM): (I mentioned I'm stupid tonight, right?)
aodhnait fara (8:00:27 PM): (Not that we believe you, but yes)
scottthesock (8:01:19 PM): "I guess I'll get a pistol. Dammit! Dammit!" John goes off for a minute.
aodhnait fara (8:01:30 PM): Mansi laughs.
aodhnait fara (8:02:06 PM): Then stops abruptly, throwing a sidelong glance at Lester.
bluesunslayer (8:02:13 PM): "What?"
aodhnait fara (8:02:16 PM): Maybe he didn't see it as funny.
aodhnait fara (8:02:24 PM): "What? Oh. Nothing."
aodhnait fara (8:02:40 PM): Didn't the man have humor?
aodhnait fara (8:02:52 PM): "Don't you ever laugh?"
bluesunslayer (8:02:56 PM): "Yes."
aodhnait fara (8:03:06 PM): "When?"
bluesunslayer (8:03:14 PM): He looks off in the direction Runner left.
bluesunslayer (8:03:38 PM): "I'm sorry, but that man's gun-happiness could get us killed. I don't find that amusing."
aodhnait fara (8:04:36 PM): Mansi furrowed her brow, "It wouldn'ta been amusin' if he'd actually brought the gun. As it stands," she points, "He's not bringin' it."
aodhnait fara (8:05:18 PM): She pauses."
aodhnait fara (8:05:27 PM): "And John knows to follow orders."
bluesunslayer (8:05:28 PM): "Point."
scottthesock (8:05:33 PM): John shows up trying to shove a bazooka in his shorts - j/k
aodhnait fara (8:05:46 PM): (*snort*)
bluesunslayer (8:05:53 PM): Well, it wouldn't have that much competition for space in tehre, that's for sure.
aodhnait fara (8:05:58 PM): ...
purpledragicorn (8:05:59 PM): <3
bluesunslayer (8:06:18 PM): Or so I've heard.
aodhnait fara (8:06:21 PM): haha
scottthesock (8:06:38 PM): haha
aodhnait fara (8:06:43 PM): Mansi gets a whimsical notion
bluesunslayer (8:06:47 PM): "I don't question the man's obedience. Only his intelligence."
aodhnait fara (8:07:08 PM): But decides not to follow it. It might upset the man.
aodhnait fara (8:07:56 PM): "Intelligence gets in the way of obedience."
bluesunslayer (8:08:11 PM): "Not in my experience."
bluesunslayer (8:08:28 PM): "Unless your commander is an idiot.... I see your point."
aodhnait fara (8:08:42 PM): Mansi just grins.
bluesunslayer (8:09:11 PM): He grins back.
aodhnait fara (8:09:22 PM): Mansi blinks. That was a smile.
aodhnait fara (8:09:31 PM): She squints at him. "Funny stomach?"
bluesunslayer (8:10:58 PM): "Funny stomach?"
scottthesock (8:11:30 PM): John shows back up and practices pulling the smaller pistol out. He does it repeatedly.
aodhnait fara (8:11:56 PM): "The grinning." She smiles whimsically to show that she's completely joking.
bluesunslayer (8:12:01 PM): "That's very impressive, Runner."
bluesunslayer (8:12:07 PM): "Where did you learn it?"
purpledragicorn (8:12:07 PM): (wiching he had somethign natural half as big?)
aodhnait fara (8:12:15 PM): (HA!)
scottthesock (8:12:21 PM): (heh)
bluesunslayer (8:12:26 PM): (God, its scary when you read my mind, Emi)
purpledragicorn (8:12:42 PM): (we've been living together too long. :) )
aodhnait fara (8:13:10 PM): (Yeah, Li. She's implanted a chip in your brain)
aodhnait fara (8:13:17 PM): (She told me so herself)
bluesunslayer (8:13:21 PM): (Shit. Now I've got another one up there)
purpledragicorn (8:13:33 PM): (i trusted you lav! i trusted you!)
aodhnait fara (8:13:33 PM): (Which was the first?)
purpledragicorn (8:13:40 PM): (sorry. shutting up now.)
aodhnait fara (8:13:43 PM): (Sorry, Em. First loyalties and all)
scottthesock (8:13:51 PM): "Just practicing. I'd rather it get caught on a thread or something now than later," answered John.
bluesunslayer (8:13:53 PM): (Joss Whedon implanted on in me back in high school)
aodhnait fara (8:14:02 PM): (Oh, yeah, I remember)
aodhnait fara (8:14:18 PM): Mansi tries very hard not to laugh at that.
aodhnait fara (8:14:50 PM): She's not successful.
scottthesock (8:15:01 PM): John doesn't get it. He keeps practicing. Then stops on it and starts on a different, smaller pistol.
bluesunslayer (8:15:10 PM): "God, I hope Eli's isn't still checking out his peegu in the mirror."
purpledragicorn (8:15:37 PM): (...*makes face because she's zipped her mouth closed*....)
aodhnait fara (8:16:06 PM): "Who? Eli?" Mansi said in between laughs. "You don't know him very well, do you?" She giggles, yes, giggles. "You have to tear him away from the mirror."
aodhnait fara (8:16:30 PM): Mansi gets up and hits the button on the intercom, "Eli, quit checkin' out your ass and give us a chance to do it."
purpledragicorn (8:16:42 PM): (>.<)
bluesunslayer (8:16:48 PM): Lester snorts a out a laugh.
aodhnait fara (8:17:13 PM): Mansi shakes her head wonderingly. Twice in a row. She was on a roll.
scottthesock (8:17:36 PM): "He doesn't understand a big ass would make him seem like he really has the higher rank." nodded John as he moved to the pistol in his sock.
aodhnait fara (8:17:57 PM): Mansi blinked, "What?"
bluesunslayer (8:18:00 PM): (By the way, now would be a good time to tell me what you're bringing along on the job, so convenient items don't magically appear later)
aodhnait fara (8:18:14 PM): (Mansi has her vest and her pistol)
aodhnait fara (8:20:04 PM): Mansi hits the intercom again, giving John his time to formulate a coherent response, "Eli..." she draws that out.
bluesunslayer (8:20:32 PM): (Eric will be back momentarily)
aodhnait fara (8:20:49 PM): (Yep :-) Just making Mansi really annoying so Eli has a chance to berate her)
bluesunslayer (8:22:33 PM): (kay)
bluesunslayer (8:22:41 PM): "I think he's ignoring you."
aodhnait fara (8:23:57 PM): "Or maybe his peegu hypnotized him."
scottthesock (8:24:16 PM): John has problems pulling the pistol out of his sock quickly. He walks off again, "Dammit, dammit."
aodhnait fara (8:24:58 PM): Mansi looks at John then back at Lester and says brightly, "What say you and I pull off the caper? Just you and me."
scottthesock (8:25:19 PM): (HAHA)
aodhnait fara (8:26:02 PM): (hehe ;-) Flirting is a great way to pass the time ;-) )
jerks inc (8:26:21 PM): (back, good to go, sorry about the delay.)
aodhnait fara (8:26:50 PM): (awesome)
bluesunslayer (8:27:30 PM): "But we need a patsy if things go south."
bluesunslayer (8:27:40 PM): (awesome)
aodhnait fara (8:27:45 PM): (Now would be a good time for Eli to say he's ready)
jerks inc (8:27:55 PM): (And if he's not?)
aodhnait fara (8:28:07 PM): (come on. Juxtaposition will make great humor)
bluesunslayer (8:28:18 PM): (Then you miss your oppertunity to steal the clock, and Isidor cuts off your toes)
jerks inc (8:28:25 PM): Eli finally stumbles back out of his quarters as though he hadn't been holding everything up. "COME ON, PEOPLE! Get down here so I can shout at you face to face!"
bluesunslayer (8:28:40 PM): "Yesssir."
jerks inc (8:28:43 PM): He shouts, obviously, because pushing an intercom button requires effort.
aodhnait fara (8:28:44 PM): A beat. Mansi looks at Lester. And laughs.
aodhnait fara (8:29:10 PM): (Ok, so maybe not so funny)
bluesunslayer (8:29:12 PM): Lester gets up, double-checks to make sure he has everything, and goes to find Eli.
jerks inc (8:29:17 PM): Eli taps his foot, adjusting his collar, his cuffs, making sure his holster doesn't look like it's packing a fully automatic pistol..
aodhnait fara (8:29:19 PM): Mansi follows.
jerks inc (8:29:40 PM): (We're taking the shuttle out, right?)
scottthesock (8:29:44 PM): John shows up for a third time. Now with a more official looking stun weapon in a regulation holster. No one is there. He's confused.
aodhnait fara (8:30:18 PM): Mansi hits the shipwide intercom on the way to the shuttle, "We're making a move."
scottthesock (8:30:31 PM): John continues on to the shuttles.
jerks inc (8:30:34 PM): "RUNNER! If you're drunk, so help me god you better have brought some for everybody.." Eli adds, for no reason at all.
jerks inc (8:30:42 PM): ooc So help me gorramit*
jerks inc (8:30:54 PM): (aaaaand that was a cybersphere command. Way to go, Eric.)
aodhnait fara (8:31:30 PM): Mansi sees Eli, "You're going to lose your voice one day, and there will be much rejoicing."
bluesunslayer (8:31:37 PM): Lester grins.
aodhnait fara (8:31:51 PM): (hee)
scottthesock (8:32:01 PM): John shows up staggering a little.
aodhnait fara (8:32:06 PM): (hahaha)
bluesunslayer (8:32:14 PM): Lucky for all of us non-pilots, Wu preprogramed the shuttle to take you where you need to go.
bluesunslayer (8:32:24 PM): All you guys have to do is use the radio and dock.
jerks inc (8:32:28 PM): Eli looks up at Mansi, still futzing with his cuff. "Uh-huh." he says.
aodhnait fara (8:32:33 PM): Wu's awesome.
jerks inc (8:33:07 PM): Good to know Eli won't need to use his pathetic pilot rolls.
aodhnait fara (8:33:08 PM): (there's a co-pilot's seat in the shuttle?)
bluesunslayer (8:33:12 PM): No, I just didn't want to be caught on a shuttle full of flying n00bs and die.
jerks inc (8:33:18 PM): Tsk.
bluesunslayer (8:33:31 PM): It's almost exactly like the shuttles on Serenity
bluesunslayer (8:33:41 PM): So, only one seat in the cockpit.
jerks inc (8:33:52 PM): Eli takes his seat in the pilots chair, still playing with his cuff. "Damn stupid.."
bluesunslayer (8:33:55 PM): The rest of you will have to hold on.
aodhnait fara (8:34:08 PM): Mansi musses his hair on her way into the shuttle.
jerks inc (8:34:10 PM): He frowns, intent on getting it to work.
jerks inc (8:34:32 PM): Eli raises another brow at Mansi, and wonders when the last time she was in a good mood was.
jerks inc (8:34:37 PM): He runs through the list:
jerks inc (8:34:40 PM): Last time she got laid
jerks inc (8:34:42 PM): last time I got shot..
jerks inc (8:34:48 PM): Last time she got laid while I got shot..
jerks inc (8:34:51 PM): Uh..
aodhnait fara (8:34:52 PM): haha
bluesunslayer (8:34:52 PM): *dies*
aodhnait fara (8:34:58 PM): :P
aodhnait fara (8:35:01 PM): Thanks, Eric.
scottthesock (8:35:04 PM): John repositions some things in his pants and quits staggering.
aodhnait fara (8:35:11 PM): >.<
jerks inc (8:35:32 PM): HE decides not to go through his personal injury history and instead focuses on his cuff.
bluesunslayer (8:35:49 PM): "You need to push the blinking red button."
aodhnait fara (8:35:56 PM): Mansi leans over Eli and does it for him.
bluesunslayer (8:35:56 PM): In front of Eli, there is a red button.
bluesunslayer (8:35:59 PM): It is blinking
jerks inc (8:36:03 PM): Eli doesn't bother to ask for help, he just thrusts his upturned wrist at Mansi.
bluesunslayer (8:36:05 PM): But not anymore, because Mansi pushed it.
bluesunslayer (8:36:13 PM): The door seals.
bluesunslayer (8:36:16 PM): THe airlock opens.
jerks inc (8:36:17 PM): (Was she talking about the cuff or the button?)
aodhnait fara (8:36:23 PM): "He'll never get it done," she explains to Lester.
bluesunslayer (8:36:29 PM): THe shuttle takes off on its own and heads out into the black.
aodhnait fara (8:36:44 PM): She was talking about the button.
jerks inc (8:36:51 PM): "You know, a guy might start thinking his crew needed their pay cut so they didn't think they ran the place."
aodhnait fara (8:36:51 PM): Mansi looks at Eli's wrist.
jerks inc (8:36:58 PM): Eli shoots a look at Mansi.
aodhnait fara (8:37:01 PM): "What do you want me to do?"
aodhnait fara (8:37:07 PM): Mansi ignores The Look.
jerks inc (8:37:11 PM): Though he appears annoyed, it's really a "God damnit, I'm stupid, help me here." look.
jerks inc (8:37:50 PM): Eli peruses the many consoles before him, making sure, with his limited knowledge, that everything is in a position to NOT blow him up.
bluesunslayer (8:37:54 PM): "When we get close to Machinal, they're going to hail us and ask for the confirmation codes. I suggest you let me handle that part."
jerks inc (8:38:05 PM): "Roger." Eli says.
aodhnait fara (8:38:23 PM): "Why is the cuff still on your wrist?"
jerks inc (8:38:38 PM): "No idea. I can't fasten it."
aodhnait fara (8:38:48 PM): (Fasten?)
bluesunslayer (8:38:57 PM): (Not handcuffs, Lav)
aodhnait fara (8:38:59 PM): (OH, you didn't mean handcuffs)
bluesunslayer (8:39:02 PM): (Cuffs on a shirt)
aodhnait fara (8:39:02 PM): (crap)
jerks inc (8:39:06 PM): (Nope. His shirt cuff)(
aodhnait fara (8:39:11 PM): (Ignore what I said then)
scottthesock (8:39:13 PM): John sits out of the way and loosely moves his hands with his eyes closed.
jerks inc (8:39:14 PM): (Done.)
scottthesock (8:39:24 PM): (we know what's on lav's mind)
jerks inc (8:39:31 PM): (Rrrrrawr.)
bluesunslayer (8:39:35 PM): (lawls)
aodhnait fara (8:39:36 PM): Mansi takes his wrist and makes quick qork of the cuff.
aodhnait fara (8:39:38 PM): (lord)
jerks inc (8:39:40 PM): (Or, atleast on ours, scott.)
aodhnait fara (8:39:43 PM): (HA!)
aodhnait fara (8:39:46 PM): (<2)
jerks inc (8:40:01 PM): (Bow chicka bow wow, mow wow chicka chicka..)
aodhnait fara (8:40:12 PM): (I am so glad I'm not logging this)
bluesunslayer (8:40:14 PM): You're coming up on a large, blue orb.
bluesunslayer (8:40:23 PM): It's very pretty.
jerks inc (8:40:27 PM): (Is it not a moon, it's a space station?)
aodhnait fara (8:40:30 PM): Mansi looks at the orb. "Lord help us, we're going to crash."
scottthesock (8:40:31 PM): ( I am lav)
bluesunslayer (8:40:41 PM): "No, we're not."
jerks inc (8:40:43 PM): Eli chuckles to himself.
bluesunslayer (8:40:44 PM): Lester points.
jerks inc (8:40:59 PM): "Wu would likely pull a joke like that."
aodhnait fara (8:41:06 PM): "We're coming in too fast."
bluesunslayer (8:41:10 PM): Ahead of you, against the background of the planet, you see the silhouette of a spaceship.
bluesunslayer (8:41:14 PM): "No, we're not."
jerks inc (8:41:22 PM): "Sorry, Cap," Eli mimicks his pilot. "I figured you'd like t' take a dip into atmo, prior t' being on that ship."
aodhnait fara (8:41:25 PM): Mansi shoots Lester a glance. "If you say so."
bluesunslayer (8:41:35 PM): It's a large ship, but not enormous.
aodhnait fara (8:41:45 PM): "Bulky," is what Mansi says
bluesunslayer (8:41:53 PM): Although it makes your shuttle look like an ant.
jerks inc (8:41:58 PM): Eli nods, turning his attention to the other ship.
jerks inc (8:42:14 PM): "Bet you it's worth a fortune and carrying one, t' boot."
jerks inc (8:42:26 PM): Eli thinks for a moment.
bluesunslayer (8:42:30 PM): Your intercom hisses. "Appraching shuttle, this is Machinal. Identify yourself."
aodhnait fara (8:42:38 PM): "Fortune + fortune, equals..." Mansi shuts up.
bluesunslayer (8:42:48 PM): You feel the shuttle decelerating as you approach.
jerks inc (8:43:07 PM): A grin slowly plays across his face as he imagines the entire thing exploding in a huge, overly exagerated, pyro-technical event that would blow away the budget for Armageddon entirely.
bluesunslayer (8:43:14 PM): Lester pushes the com button.
bluesunslayer (8:44:30 PM): "This is Blue Sun Security unit Romeo Seven, making a random security check. Passcode Golf Hotel niner bravo."
bluesunslayer (8:44:35 PM): There's a pause.
bluesunslayer (8:44:48 PM): Lester looks uncertain.
bluesunslayer (8:45:03 PM): "Um, requesting permission to dock at VIP docking ring. Over."
bluesunslayer (8:45:13 PM): Another pause.
scottthesock (8:45:31 PM): JOhn opens his eyes and raises an eyebrow at the "um".
aodhnait fara (8:45:34 PM): Mansi raises an eyebrow.
jerks inc (8:45:36 PM): Eli sighs, wondering if now is a good time to pray.
aodhnait fara (8:45:53 PM): She holds her breath.
scottthesock (8:45:58 PM): John wishes he brought a space suit about now.
bluesunslayer (8:45:59 PM): Machinal looms larger in your window.
jerks inc (8:46:01 PM): He decides against it and decides to think about the budget for this excursion, focusing on the part at the end where his bank account gets bigger.
jerks inc (8:46:41 PM): Eli opens his holster, checks the magazine in his gun, slots it back in with a smack of his hand and reholsters his weapon.
bluesunslayer (8:46:55 PM): The female voice comes back on. "VIP docking ring already in use. Permission to dock granted on the main docking ring. Machinal out."
aodhnait fara (8:47:07 PM): Mansi breathes again.
bluesunslayer (8:47:33 PM): The shuttle corrects its course and heads for the main docking ring.
aodhnait fara (8:48:12 PM): "Nice shuttle programming. It's like it has a mind of its own."
bluesunslayer (8:48:30 PM): "No, that's the cruiser's computer doing that."
bluesunslayer (8:48:53 PM): Lester double checks that his fake security badge is at the ready. "They've got us in a tractor beam."
aodhnait fara (8:48:54 PM): "Ah."
bluesunslayer (8:49:19 PM): "I'd have your badges handy. They might confront us at the airlock."
aodhnait fara (8:49:32 PM): Mansi checks for hers.
bluesunslayer (8:49:38 PM): Lester pulls out a map of the ship.
scottthesock (8:49:56 PM): "Damn. Now we have to go up 4 levels... badges?" says John.
bluesunslayer (8:50:04 PM): "We're going to have to take another route to the clock."
jerks inc (8:50:19 PM): Eli looks at the map, trying to think of another way.
bluesunslayer (8:50:28 PM): Lester traces his finger over the chart. "Luckily, the ship's riddled with crew passages."
jerks inc (8:50:33 PM): "We need to really avoid security. People, we can handle. Security, not so much."
bluesunslayer (8:50:46 PM): "We can travel through without being seen, for the most part."
scottthesock (8:50:59 PM): John checks his pockets.
jerks inc (8:51:01 PM): Eli mutters to himself about nothing ever going the way it should.
bluesunslayer (8:51:07 PM): "Security will be mostly consumed by the concert in the auditorium. That's why I picked tonight for the job."
aodhnait fara (8:51:16 PM): "Explain the "for the most part"?"
jerks inc (8:51:25 PM): "Good man." Eli compliments, still looking at the map.
bluesunslayer (8:51:31 PM): "I mean, some of the crew might be using the crew hallways."
bluesunslayer (8:51:49 PM): "But since we're dressed as security, I doubt they'll question us."
aodhnait fara (8:51:49 PM): "Point."
jerks inc (8:51:50 PM): "They can't unsecure the entire boat for a concert, and not everyone enjoys a good concert." Eli adds.
bluesunslayer (8:52:07 PM): "We'll have to be careful then."
jerks inc (8:52:23 PM): Eli nods. "You should gag Runner, I'll take his weapons."
bluesunslayer (8:52:24 PM): Lester shrugs.
bluesunslayer (8:52:28 PM): "It's the best I've got."
jerks inc (8:52:44 PM): Eli throws runner a sidelong, conspiratorial glance before going back to the map.
aodhnait fara (8:53:12 PM): "What they mean, John, is that no talking and don't even think about your guns. They can read your mind."
aodhnait fara (8:53:22 PM): "They, being the enemy," she adds.
bluesunslayer (8:53:31 PM): "Ok. We can take the cargo elevator to deck two, and form there use the crew hallways to get to the service elevator, which will take us to deck four."
bluesunslayer (8:53:34 PM): "IT can work."
bluesunslayer (8:53:55 PM): "Yes, cruise lines often employ psychics on their security details."
aodhnait fara (8:54:06 PM): Mansi grins at that.
jerks inc (8:54:30 PM): Eli smirks. "Readers in security. I should get me one a' them."
jerks inc (8:54:33 PM): Eli looks at mansi.
aodhnait fara (8:54:37 PM): "Should we all go together, or do we split halfway."
scottthesock (8:54:42 PM): "I hope they like porn," says John.
aodhnait fara (8:54:42 PM): * ?
bluesunslayer (8:55:00 PM): "I think splitting up would be a very bad idea."
jerks inc (8:55:01 PM): He wonders, "Did she get laid or is she just taking happy pills when I'm not looking?" He then turns to runner.
aodhnait fara (8:55:20 PM): "Fair enough."
bluesunslayer (8:55:49 PM): The shuttle snaps to Machinal's airlock.
bluesunslayer (8:55:53 PM): You hear a hiss.
jerks inc (8:56:09 PM): Snakes on my motherfuckin' shuttle?
aodhnait fara (8:56:13 PM): HEE!
aodhnait fara (8:56:17 PM): (hahahaha)
bluesunslayer (8:56:20 PM): Haha
scottthesock (8:56:23 PM): JOhn finds his badge attached to the inner shirt he put it on before his jacket.
jerks inc (8:56:36 PM): Eli makes sure his badge, and everyone elses is in the right place.
scottthesock (8:56:36 PM): He puts it in plain view.
bluesunslayer (8:56:50 PM): Lester takes a deep breath.
aodhnait fara (8:56:51 PM): Mansi tries to look security detail-ish.
bluesunslayer (8:57:01 PM): He looks to Eli. "After you."
jerks inc (8:57:11 PM): Eli, for the first time in a while, assumes the posture of what a captain should look like.
aodhnait fara (8:57:12 PM): Mansi takes her place beside Eli.
jerks inc (8:57:35 PM): His back straight, chin held a bit higher than normal, and that stern, angry, I will SO beat you down look plastered unmoving on his visage.
bluesunslayer (8:57:38 PM): (He knows about the posture from pirate movies)
jerks inc (8:57:46 PM): (hahahaha)
bluesunslayer (8:57:52 PM): (arrrr)
scottthesock (8:57:54 PM): John get in the back and puts on a game face.
aodhnait fara (8:57:58 PM): Before the shuttle door opens, she whispers to him, "Why do you keep looking at me strangely?"
aodhnait fara (8:58:02 PM): (Hahahaha <3)
bluesunslayer (8:58:18 PM): (whispers to who?)
jerks inc (8:58:20 PM): Eli leans and whispers to Mansi, "Because I'm trying to imagine what you look like naked."
aodhnait fara (8:58:24 PM): (to Eli)
bluesunslayer (8:58:26 PM): (hehe)
jerks inc (8:58:35 PM): He clears his throat and walks out through the door, smirking smugly.
bluesunslayer (8:58:47 PM): You walk into a huge, expansive cargo space.
aodhnait fara (8:58:49 PM): Mansi shoots his back a disapproving glance.
bluesunslayer (8:59:00 PM): It's full of trunks, and luggage.
aodhnait fara (8:59:14 PM): I suddenly feel small, Mansi thinks. She doesn't speak, though.
bluesunslayer (8:59:16 PM): It's also deserted.
jerks inc (8:59:31 PM): Eli turns to wink at Mansi over his shoulder before navigating his way to the elevators that Lester had pointed out.
bluesunslayer (8:59:35 PM): This cargo space could almost fit the entirely of Underdog.
jerks inc (8:59:47 PM): Eli doesn't look around like a tourist.
bluesunslayer (8:59:49 PM): There's catwalks along the second story.
jerks inc (9:00:01 PM): He shoots glances to places he would stand, were he interested in shooting everyone in his crew.
bluesunslayer (9:00:09 PM): You make your way to the back of the room, navigating a labryth of luggage.
aodhnait fara (9:00:11 PM): (haha)
jerks inc (9:00:25 PM): For the record, Eli is in 'don't get us killed,' mode.
bluesunslayer (9:00:26 PM): There's a square cage attached to cables.
jerks inc (9:00:39 PM): He's CONSTANTLY looking for anything that might be a problem.
bluesunslayer (9:00:39 PM): It's the elevator to the catwalks.
bluesunslayer (9:00:51 PM): Roll perception plus alertness.
jerks inc (9:00:52 PM): Especially anything he might fuck up to cause said problem.
OnlineHost (9:01:01 PM): jerks inc rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 3
jerks inc (9:01:05 PM): 7
aodhnait fara (9:01:08 PM): (everyone?)
bluesunslayer (9:01:15 PM): If you guys are looking around, roll.
OnlineHost (9:01:19 PM): aodhnait fara rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
OnlineHost (9:01:25 PM): aodhnait fara rolled 1 8-sided die: 3
aodhnait fara (9:01:27 PM): 7
bluesunslayer (9:01:56 PM): The cargo bay appears to be deserted.
bluesunslayer (9:02:02 PM): You hear music coming form above.
bluesunslayer (9:02:07 PM): It appears to be opera.
bluesunslayer (9:02:35 PM): Lester presses the button for the elevator to go up.
aodhnait fara (9:02:45 PM): "When you said concert...?" Mansi looks at Lester.
OnlineHost (9:02:56 PM): scottthesock rolled 2 4-sided dice: 3 3
jerks inc (9:03:00 PM): Eli, for a rare moment, takes Mansi's hands and glides around her, dancing in the tiniest ballroom, ever.
scottthesock (9:03:10 PM): 6
jerks inc (9:03:14 PM): He then lets her go, straightens his clothes and stands in the captainy way again, as if it never happened.
bluesunslayer (9:03:19 PM): Lester, the room is empty and you hear the music
aodhnait fara (9:03:34 PM): Mansi didn't even have time to react.
bluesunslayer (9:03:40 PM): (aww. Someone has a cruuuuuuuush)
aodhnait fara (9:03:44 PM): When he lets her go, she hits him lightly on the head.
bluesunslayer (9:03:48 PM): The elevator opens.
jerks inc (9:03:49 PM): (Hahahaha, someone's just entirely too hyper.)
bluesunslayer (9:03:53 PM): Lester gets in.
aodhnait fara (9:03:56 PM): (haha)
jerks inc (9:04:05 PM): Eli clears his throat, stepping into the elevator.
aodhnait fara (9:04:16 PM): Mansi follows Eli.
jerks inc (9:04:21 PM): Eli, quietly, reaches out and takes lester's hand.
aodhnait fara (9:04:24 PM): "Did you take happy pills or something?"
aodhnait fara (9:04:26 PM): hahaha
jerks inc (9:04:36 PM): He holds it like a child would hold his mothers hand.
jerks inc (9:04:43 PM): He does not look at lester.
aodhnait fara (9:04:48 PM): (*falls over laughing*)
scottthesock (9:04:58 PM): John gets in last.
bluesunslayer (9:05:02 PM): Lester looks at Eli's hand.
aodhnait fara (9:05:02 PM): Mansi shoots a glance at the hand holding.
bluesunslayer (9:05:06 PM): And then at Eli.
aodhnait fara (9:05:09 PM): Then looks at Eli
aodhnait fara (9:05:12 PM): Then at Lester.
bluesunslayer (9:05:19 PM): "May I have my hand back?"
jerks inc (9:05:21 PM): Eli looks to lester.
aodhnait fara (9:05:22 PM): "Well, now."
bluesunslayer (9:05:27 PM): "Sir."
jerks inc (9:05:29 PM): Straight faced, he nods, and squeezes it gently before letting go.
aodhnait fara (9:05:36 PM): (HAHA)
bluesunslayer (9:05:45 PM): Lester wipes his hand on his pants and pushes the up button.
aodhnait fara (9:06:05 PM): Mansi pats Eli's head. "Rejection is not such a bad thing."
bluesunslayer (9:06:08 PM): (Eli gets a plot point for being pwntastic)
bluesunslayer (9:06:48 PM): The elevator rides smoothly, and opens up onto the catwalks.
bluesunslayer (9:06:59 PM): Immediately to your left is a door.
bluesunslayer (9:08:18 PM): Lester nods towards the door.
bluesunslayer (9:08:26 PM): "Crew hallways, that way."
scottthesock (9:08:53 PM): John gets out and steps towards it. He opens the door and looks down the hall.
bluesunslayer (9:09:10 PM): It's a long straight shot that runs almost the lenght of the ship.
bluesunslayer (9:09:12 PM): Also empty
bluesunslayer (9:09:22 PM): The music is slightly louder here.
aodhnait fara (9:09:27 PM): "Seems like we're in luck," Mansi says softly.
bluesunslayer (9:09:47 PM): Lester walks through the door like he owns the joint.
bluesunslayer (9:09:54 PM): it's a narrow passage.
scottthesock (9:09:58 PM): (they need to get to the grand staircase?)
bluesunslayer (9:10:04 PM): No more than two can stand abreast
bluesunslayer (9:10:07 PM): (No)
aodhnait fara (9:10:23 PM): Mansi walks behind Lester.
jerks inc (9:10:24 PM): Eli walks to the door.
bluesunslayer (9:10:26 PM): (They're going to stay in the crew hallways until they get to the fourth deck.)
scottthesock (9:10:41 PM): (ok)
jerks inc (9:11:01 PM): Eli motions for Runner to come behind him, whispering, "Don't get itchy, but don't cool yourself off too much. If this goes south, John, I need you to do your thing."
bluesunslayer (9:11:02 PM): Lester flashes an "OK" sign to Eli in the back.
bluesunslayer (9:11:11 PM): He moves forward.
jerks inc (9:11:16 PM): Eli follows.
bluesunslayer (9:11:21 PM): You soon come to a four-way intersection.
bluesunslayer (9:11:30 PM): Lester moves straight through it.
scottthesock (9:11:32 PM): John follows
scottthesock (9:11:45 PM): behind Eli that is
bluesunslayer (9:11:48 PM): As you pass the other hallway, you notice it, too, is deserted.
jerks inc (9:12:15 PM): Eli keeps a cool head and continues to watch for trouble.,
bluesunslayer (9:12:32 PM): Roll perception plus alertness.
OnlineHost (9:12:42 PM): aodhnait fara rolled 1 8-sided die: 8
OnlineHost (9:12:48 PM): aodhnait fara rolled 1 6-sided die: 4
aodhnait fara (9:12:50 PM): 12
scottthesock (9:12:52 PM): "If anyone harrasses us, be pissed they didn't greet us," John mentions to Eli. That's what I'd expect.
OnlineHost (9:13:17 PM): scottthesock rolled 2 4-sided dice: 4 3
scottthesock (9:13:25 PM): 7
OnlineHost (9:13:56 PM): jerks inc rolled 2 6-sided dice: 5 1
jerks inc (9:13:58 PM): 6
bluesunslayer (9:14:03 PM): Ok.
scottthesock (9:14:19 PM): Mansi has to save us.
bluesunslayer (9:14:22 PM): Eli and John notice that the hallway is deserted. They also hear the music.
bluesunslayer (9:14:37 PM): Mansi notices this and more:
bluesunslayer (9:15:02 PM): While she can hear the music, that is all she hears.
bluesunslayer (9:15:23 PM): It's quiet.
bluesunslayer (9:15:37 PM): You come to another intersection.
aodhnait fara (9:15:37 PM): Mansi moves ahead, and gets closer to Lester.
scottthesock (9:15:48 PM): (It's amazing when John has great rolls, he's still a rock.)
aodhnait fara (9:15:55 PM): "What kind of concert is this?" she asks quietly?
bluesunslayer (9:15:57 PM): To your left is a hallway. To your right is a door, labeled "Welcome stair."
bluesunslayer (9:16:20 PM): "Opera. Mozart's The Magic Flute."
bluesunslayer (9:16:36 PM): Lester turns left.
aodhnait fara (9:16:43 PM): "And everyone is attending? Even the crew?"
bluesunslayer (9:16:58 PM): There is an elevator directly to your left. Lester pushes the up button.
jerks inc (9:17:09 PM): "I'd imagine the crew is working." Eli says.
bluesunslayer (9:17:14 PM): "I would think it was for passengers only."
jerks inc (9:17:17 PM): "Though you may be on to something."
aodhnait fara (9:17:20 PM): "Working, where?"
bluesunslayer (9:17:31 PM): Lester nods. "THere should be people in this hallway."
bluesunslayer (9:17:46 PM): "Working securty. In the kitchens, preparing the post-concert dinner."
aodhnait fara (9:17:58 PM): "Everyone?"
bluesunslayer (9:17:59 PM): He checks his multiband.
bluesunslayer (9:18:16 PM): "I don't know where they are."
jerks inc (9:18:31 PM): Eli thinks to himself, "TRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP!"
aodhnait fara (9:18:34 PM): "If we can hear music, shouldn't we also be hearing them clatter about with the preparations?"
bluesunslayer (9:18:50 PM): "I would think so."
jerks inc (9:18:51 PM): "This doesn't smell like mule shit should smell." Eli comments.
bluesunslayer (9:19:09 PM): The elevator pings, and then slides open.
aodhnait fara (9:19:09 PM): Mansi's hand goes to her holster.
bluesunslayer (9:19:14 PM): It's circular, and smaller than the last.
bluesunslayer (9:19:24 PM): It's also empty.
bluesunslayer (9:19:27 PM): Lester steps inside.
aodhnait fara (9:19:28 PM): "Maybe we should take the stairs?"
bluesunslayer (9:19:42 PM): "If we take the stairs, it'll be the passenger stairs."
bluesunslayer (9:19:55 PM): "Which means a better chance of being seen."
jerks inc (9:19:56 PM): "We can't look suspicious. If something is going wrong, we still have camoflauge."
jerks inc (9:20:02 PM): He steps in behind lester.
aodhnait fara (9:20:05 PM): Mansi hesitates. The elevator looked awfully small.
aodhnait fara (9:20:32 PM): Mansi shoots them a look. "If we're getting stuck in here, it's your fault."
jerks inc (9:20:33 PM): "Besides, what's to say that the problem is us and not something unrelated to us?"
aodhnait fara (9:20:44 PM): "A problem is a problem, Eli."
jerks inc (9:20:44 PM): Eli nods. "Blame me. You do anyway."
jerks inc (9:20:56 PM): "No, sometimes a problem is a problem for someone else. Then it's a diversion."
aodhnait fara (9:21:00 PM): "It's easy on my conscience."
jerks inc (9:21:19 PM): . o 0 (Would someone be hijacking the ship?)
aodhnait fara (9:21:23 PM): "Problem for someone else means greater security. We'll run into trouble if we're not recognized."
aodhnait fara (9:21:33 PM): "But. Shutting up now."
jerks inc (9:21:36 PM): "Not if security is busy dealing with the problem."
jerks inc (9:21:43 PM): Eli is willing to play point, counterpoint all day.
aodhnait fara (9:21:50 PM): I'm sure he is :P
scottthesock (9:21:55 PM): "Fuck," John says low as he steps in behind.
jerks inc (9:21:57 PM): Oh, he was ready out of th ewomb.
bluesunslayer (9:22:41 PM): Lester pushes the button for the forth deck.
bluesunslayer (9:22:47 PM): THe elevator slides shut.
bluesunslayer (9:23:05 PM): And starts playing Muzak... of the future.
purpledragicorn (9:23:18 PM): (oh god)
aodhnait fara (9:23:34 PM): (Oh, no)
scottthesock (9:23:42 PM): "I don't like this," says John.
aodhnait fara (9:23:46 PM): "They entertain their crew well," Mansi comments sarcastically.
aodhnait fara (9:24:15 PM): "I never served as crew anywhere before, but I always thought Muzak was a torture device for softened ears."
scottthesock (9:24:35 PM): "Can we get off at 3 and take stairs somehow?" he ask.
bluesunslayer (9:24:37 PM): "Maybe the cruise owners secretly hate their employees."
bluesunslayer (9:24:42 PM): "No."
aodhnait fara (9:24:46 PM): "You willin' to bet on that?"
bluesunslayer (9:24:47 PM): "It doesn't stop at three."
bluesunslayer (9:25:01 PM): he's right. It only stops on two floors.
bluesunslayer (9:25:08 PM): The elevator reaches deck four.
bluesunslayer (9:25:14 PM): It opens on a short hallway.
bluesunslayer (9:25:27 PM): Just ahead there is an opening on your left and a door on your right.
bluesunslayer (9:25:55 PM): The door is labeled, "Passenger rooms / Grand staircase."
bluesunslayer (9:26:08 PM): Lester gets out. Looks around.
bluesunslayer (9:26:29 PM): You cannot hear the music as loudly here.
jerks inc (9:27:06 PM): I follow lester and do the same, looking around.
scottthesock (9:27:20 PM): "And still no one?" ask John.
bluesunslayer (9:27:30 PM): To the left is a crew pantry, full of food, toilieries, mini shampoos, etc.
aodhnait fara (9:27:34 PM): Mansi stops. "This level should be teeming."
bluesunslayer (9:27:35 PM): It's empty.
aodhnait fara (9:27:59 PM): "Eli.."
bluesunslayer (9:28:14 PM): "the concert is one floor down."
aodhnait fara (9:28:30 PM): "And?"
jerks inc (9:28:41 PM): He nods.
aodhnait fara (9:28:47 PM): "Everyone's so mesmerized by this hypnotic music that they've forgotten everything else?"
jerks inc (9:28:53 PM): "Something is wrong."
jerks inc (9:28:58 PM): Eli looks sick.
aodhnait fara (9:29:00 PM): "You think?"
jerks inc (9:29:02 PM): He seems to be having that thing..
jerks inc (9:29:08 PM): Where you decide that maybe you should do the right thing.
jerks inc (9:29:10 PM): Morality.
scottthesock (9:29:12 PM): "No one greets a security check?"
aodhnait fara (9:29:15 PM): "Lester. We can't move on blindly."
jerks inc (9:29:19 PM): "Mmaaaybe we should see if something is wrong."
aodhnait fara (9:29:25 PM): "Except other security checks."
aodhnait fara (9:29:41 PM): (haha. Screw morality)
bluesunslayer (9:29:45 PM): "How?"
aodhnait fara (9:30:08 PM): (Who's Lester talking to?)
bluesunslayer (9:30:13 PM): (Eli)
bluesunslayer (9:30:25 PM): "We're about to walk out into the passenger area"
jerks inc (9:30:27 PM): Eli shrugs. "I don't know. First things first. Lets secure the clock. How far is it from the main security office?"
aodhnait fara (9:30:59 PM): "Far as it can get, from what I saw. The VIP suites are on the other end."
bluesunslayer (9:31:07 PM): "The main security office is front. The VIP suites are aft."
jerks inc (9:31:32 PM): He sighs.
bluesunslayer (9:31:36 PM): "But going towards the security office will bring us close to the concert"
jerks inc (9:32:11 PM): "I'll think as we go. Maybe we'll get some sign of what's going on along the way."
jerks inc (9:32:17 PM): "Lets keep going." He says.
scottthesock (9:32:21 PM): "How do we carry this damn thing through the center of the ship too if we get it?" ask John.
aodhnait fara (9:32:25 PM): Mansi nods, and follows.
aodhnait fara (9:32:32 PM): She looks around her as she goes.
aodhnait fara (9:32:37 PM): Should I roll?
bluesunslayer (9:32:45 PM): Go for it.
OnlineHost (9:32:54 PM): aodhnait fara rolled 1 8-sided die: 8
OnlineHost (9:32:59 PM): aodhnait fara rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
aodhnait fara (9:33:04 PM): 14
aodhnait fara (9:33:05 PM): damn
scottthesock (9:33:08 PM): huh
bluesunslayer (9:33:14 PM): All you hear is the music.
bluesunslayer (9:33:46 PM): It's quieter here, in his hallway.
aodhnait fara (9:33:57 PM): "I highly doubt there's a security detail on this level," she says almost to herself.
bluesunslayer (9:34:26 PM): "This is where the main security office is. If there was a security detail anywhere, it would be here."
aodhnait fara (9:34:57 PM): "Well, they're not here."
bluesunslayer (9:35:19 PM): "Hao."
scottthesock (9:35:34 PM): "Should we split up and meet in the back?" ask John.
aodhnait fara (9:35:41 PM): "No splitting."
bluesunslayer (9:35:49 PM): "That would be a bad idea."
bluesunslayer (9:35:56 PM): Lester is tired of saying that.
aodhnait fara (9:35:57 PM): "Lester, perhaps they've moved it?"
bluesunslayer (9:36:58 PM): "Anything's possible." His voice carries his second thought: "Even if your idea is bullshit."
bluesunslayer (9:37:22 PM): "The captain is right. Something's rotten in the state of Denmark."
jerks inc (9:37:36 PM): Eli nods.
jerks inc (9:37:42 PM): He unclips his holster, but doesn't draw.
jerks inc (9:37:45 PM): "Get the clock."
bluesunslayer (9:37:55 PM): Lester presses his ear to the door. Waits.
bluesunslayer (9:38:00 PM): He opens it.
scottthesock (9:38:06 PM): "Let's check the VIP dock first." notes John.
jerks inc (9:38:07 PM): "We need the clock, first and foremost. Lets take advantage of the lack of security." I speak softer, watching lester.
bluesunslayer (9:38:19 PM): You are now in a cream-colored hallwya.
jerks inc (9:38:25 PM): "Wait. Stop."
bluesunslayer (9:38:30 PM): Lester stops.
aodhnait fara (9:38:34 PM): Mansi stops
jerks inc (9:38:35 PM): "Think about the radio."
aodhnait fara (9:38:39 PM): "Radio?"
jerks inc (9:38:40 PM): "They paused. They were hesitatnt."
jerks inc (9:38:43 PM): "When we docked."
aodhnait fara (9:38:49 PM): Mansi nods.
jerks inc (9:38:54 PM): "That was the first sign something was rotten."
jerks inc (9:39:15 PM): Eli thinks. "that means whoever that was, security or not, knows where we're docked."
jerks inc (9:39:25 PM): "Is there a way to get the shuttle to the VIP ring?"
aodhnait fara (9:39:30 PM): "And where we were headed."
jerks inc (9:39:34 PM): "With out control knowing."
jerks inc (9:39:52 PM): Eli thinks hard.
bluesunslayer (9:40:20 PM): "Control said that airlock was in use."
jerks inc (9:40:30 PM): "Control is likely full of crap."
bluesunslayer (9:40:34 PM): "Either they're telling the truth, or they don't want us using it."
scottthesock (9:40:39 PM): "If worse comes to worst, we'll take one of the whore's shuttles." says John.
bluesunslayer (9:40:52 PM): "Either way, control won't let us dock there."
jerks inc (9:40:53 PM): "That means our shuttle is still here."
jerks inc (9:40:56 PM): "Evidence."
jerks inc (9:41:18 PM): Eli sighs, wanting to point out that he didn't like the way this job smelled in the first place.
aodhnait fara (9:41:36 PM): "Don't." Mansi tells Eli.
jerks inc (9:41:38 PM): He shuts up. "Push forward. Get the clock. We'll figure this all out once we've got our bird in the hand."
bluesunslayer (9:41:42 PM): (Hey, Isidor was upfront about the risks....)
scottthesock (9:41:43 PM): "Not if Wu missles it.
jerks inc (9:42:00 PM): "Then we're what you call 'terrorists', runner."
scottthesock (9:42:21 PM): "Alive terrorist." he shrugs.
jerks inc (9:42:29 PM): (This is some fifth element shit right here.)
bluesunslayer (9:42:34 PM): Lester pushes forward into the hallway.
bluesunslayer (9:42:40 PM): (Finally, someone noticed)
jerks inc (9:42:41 PM): "The clock." Eli nods to lester and follows him.
jerks inc (9:42:46 PM): (HAH! I RULE!)
scottthesock (9:42:47 PM): "Just a plan D," says John.
jerks inc (9:42:53 PM): (DIVA PLAVALAGUDA!)
purpledragicorn (9:42:57 PM): (more like f for fail)
bluesunslayer (9:43:03 PM): You're in the hallway of the passenger dorms.
aodhnait fara (9:43:06 PM): (hehe. I haven't watched that)
jerks inc (9:43:08 PM): (lawl, Emi, I miss you.)
bluesunslayer (9:43:08 PM): But not the cool passengers.
bluesunslayer (9:43:15 PM): Just the kinda-rich passengers
bluesunslayer (9:43:51 PM): Up ahead, to your right is the top of the grand staircase.
bluesunslayer (9:43:57 PM): Lester heads that way.
jerks inc (9:44:12 PM): Eli follows lester, looking for anybody, or anything out of place.
bluesunslayer (9:44:17 PM): Deserted.
bluesunslayer (9:44:21 PM): The music is louder here.
bluesunslayer (9:44:30 PM): But still muffled.
jerks inc (9:44:56 PM): Eli keeps his hand by his gun.
jerks inc (9:45:02 PM): "Move."
bluesunslayer (9:45:11 PM): Lester passes the staircase, glancing down momentarily, before moving on.
jerks inc (9:45:15 PM): "To hell with stealth, just be cautious, and lets move. Quick."
bluesunslayer (9:45:20 PM): You're in another hallway.
bluesunslayer (9:45:29 PM): More passenger dorms to either side.
bluesunslayer (9:45:32 PM): All the doors are shut.
jerks inc (9:45:43 PM): Eli holds up a hand, giving the signal to stop.
jerks inc (9:45:46 PM): He taps his ear.
jerks inc (9:45:53 PM): I try to hear ANY passengers.
jerks inc (9:45:54 PM): Anything.
jerks inc (9:46:02 PM): Like, any noise that the ship is doing something normal.
bluesunslayer (9:46:09 PM): Roll perception plus alertness.
OnlineHost (9:46:12 PM): jerks inc rolled 2 6-sided dice: 3 2
aodhnait fara (9:46:13 PM): Mansi does likewise at the signal to stop.
jerks inc (9:46:14 PM): 5
OnlineHost (9:46:24 PM): aodhnait fara rolled 1 12-sided die: 8
aodhnait fara (9:46:32 PM): (I just remembered she had exceptional hearing)
bluesunslayer (9:46:35 PM): You hear music, and the soft humm of the engines.
OnlineHost (9:46:41 PM): aodhnait fara rolled 1 6-sided die: 2
aodhnait fara (9:46:43 PM): 10
bluesunslayer (9:46:53 PM): You hear music, and the soft hum of the engines.
aodhnait fara (9:46:58 PM): Lovely.
jerks inc (9:47:04 PM): Eli nods, drawing his pistol.
aodhnait fara (9:47:07 PM): "Still nothing. No one here."
jerks inc (9:47:08 PM): He's convinced.
jerks inc (9:47:15 PM): Eli goes into soldier mode.
aodhnait fara (9:47:19 PM): Mansi keeps her hand on hers but doesn't draw it.
bluesunslayer (9:47:23 PM): You come up on a sealed door, labeled, "VIP Suites."
scottthesock (9:47:27 PM): "Maybe we should ditch these uniforms?" ask John.
aodhnait fara (9:47:30 PM): "No."
jerks inc (9:47:32 PM): "No."
bluesunslayer (9:47:37 PM): "And run around naked?"
aodhnait fara (9:47:42 PM): "John, shh."
jerks inc (9:47:52 PM): "If we run into real security, we have something to make us look like 'not the bad guy.'"
aodhnait fara (9:47:53 PM): "Remember what I said about talking?"
bluesunslayer (9:47:56 PM): Lester shoots Runner a look and pulls out his lock picking kit.
scottthesock (9:47:59 PM): "Steal a passengers," he looked at them stupidly.
bluesunslayer (9:48:08 PM): "Keep a look out for a minute."
aodhnait fara (9:48:10 PM): "John."
jerks inc (9:48:20 PM): Eli stands beside Lester, gun pointed down, looking around.
bluesunslayer (9:48:24 PM): Lester kneels and gets to work picking the lock.
jerks inc (9:48:45 PM): He whispers to john, in too seerious a mood to joke. "In a war, if you wear a uniform, at the very least one side wont' kill you."
aodhnait fara (9:49:00 PM): Mansi does the look-out thing as well.
OnlineHost (9:49:01 PM): bluesunslayer rolled 1 8-sided die: 7
jerks inc (9:49:02 PM): Eli keeps his eyes peeled, ready for the shit to hit the fan.
scottthesock (9:49:03 PM): "We're not going to run into security. We're going to run into the people who shoot security if anything." he said as he kept looking around.
OnlineHost (9:49:13 PM): bluesunslayer rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
aodhnait fara (9:49:30 PM): Absently, Mansi notes that that last comment was too insightful for John.
jerks inc (9:49:31 PM): "And should security be found, and we free them to handle whatever problem might be happening?"
aodhnait fara (9:49:35 PM): The man may be eating his spinach.
jerks inc (9:49:41 PM): "I'd rather shoot terrorists or hijackers or pirates than security."
jerks inc (9:49:49 PM): "They tend to call you a hero for that, rather than arrest you."
bluesunslayer (9:49:55 PM): The door slides open.
aodhnait fara (9:50:01 PM): "Shh. I'm trying to hear--"
jerks inc (9:50:01 PM): Eli turns to look in.
bluesunslayer (9:50:10 PM): "You are the noisiest criminals I've ever met."
aodhnait fara (9:50:10 PM): Mansi does, too.
jerks inc (9:50:17 PM): Eli is whispering.
aodhnait fara (9:50:22 PM): Yep.
jerks inc (9:50:23 PM): or at least talking quietly..
bluesunslayer (9:50:28 PM): You enter a wood-paneled hallway.
aodhnait fara (9:50:33 PM): We're noisy whisperers.
bluesunslayer (9:50:39 PM): Noticeably wider than the other hallways.
jerks inc (9:50:39 PM): VIP area?
aodhnait fara (9:50:42 PM): Mansi runs a hand along the smooth wood.
bluesunslayer (9:50:42 PM): Very posh.
jerks inc (9:50:48 PM): VIP sweets.
aodhnait fara (9:50:51 PM): hee
jerks inc (9:51:02 PM): Eli puts his finger to his lips.
bluesunslayer (9:51:05 PM): To your left is the VIP docking ring.
jerks inc (9:51:15 PM): He signals everyone to fan out and wait for orders.
jerks inc (9:51:25 PM): He himself, gun drawn, moves quietly into the hallway.
jerks inc (9:51:40 PM): He approaches the VIP docking ring entrance/hatch/way to get in.
purpledragicorn (9:51:45 PM): (*hums mission impossible theme*)
bluesunslayer (9:52:02 PM): The hatch is closed.
jerks inc (9:52:32 PM): Eli walks back to lester and whispers to him. "If we could open this hatch, is it possible to put the clock in it, get the shuttle, dock here, pick up our bird and haul arse out of here?"
jerks inc (9:52:56 PM): "Or is it a better idea to try and walk out of here with a giant clock, taking it through half the ship."
jerks inc (9:53:04 PM): "Both are just absurd, I can't decide which is less."
bluesunslayer (9:53:07 PM): "Sure. So long as control was lying about another ship being docked there."
aodhnait fara has left the room.
bluesunslayer (9:53:57 PM): "And the only way to find that out is to open the airlock, potentially onto a pirate ship."
bluesunslayer (9:54:10 PM): wtf?
aodhnait fara has entered the room.
jerks inc (9:54:37 PM): error
jerks inc (9:54:38 PM): I got it.
aodhnait fara (9:55:22 PM): (sorry about that. AIM kicked me)
jerks inc (9:55:25 PM): "Well, here's the question."
bluesunslayer (9:55:28 PM): (no problem)
jerks inc (9:55:32 PM): "Do we risk it?"
purpledragicorn (9:55:40 PM): (don't ever let it happen again ;) )
bluesunslayer (9:55:40 PM): "You're the captain."
jerks inc (9:55:45 PM): Eli looks at the airlock for any 'do not open' light flashing.
bluesunslayer (9:55:53 PM): It's just an airlock.
jerks inc (9:56:01 PM): he searches for a minotir, read out, anything to tell him that opening the airlock is going to lead him to a ship or space.
scottthesock (9:56:02 PM): Then one us take it out in a lifeboat and the rest go back?" ask John.
bluesunslayer (9:56:02 PM): Roll perception plus alertness.

jerks inc (9:58:37 PM): (I'm saving them for when we take on the mangelors.)
aodhnait fara (9:58:44 PM): (yep yep)
bluesunslayer (9:58:53 PM): There is a skittering noise coming from one of the VIP suites.
jerks inc (9:59:01 PM): Eli approaches it quietly.
bluesunslayer (9:59:08 PM): Also, there is a light next to the airlock. It is red.
jerks inc (9:59:08 PM): Roll stealth?
bluesunslayer (9:59:19 PM): Covert plus agility.
jerks inc (9:59:26 PM): And does red mean it's going to space us if we open it, or there is a ship docked?
bluesunslayer (9:59:30 PM): include any relevant specilities.
OnlineHost (9:59:40 PM): jerks inc rolled 2 6-sided dice: 4 1
jerks inc (9:59:48 PM): 5
bluesunslayer (10:00:03 PM): You proceed with relative stealthiness down the hallway.

bluesunslayer (10:00:18 PM): The sound is coming from the middle VIP suite.
OnlineHost (10:00:23 PM): aodhnait fara rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
bluesunslayer (10:00:24 PM): THe door is open a crack.

bluesunslayer (10:00:38 PM): Mansi proceeds with relative stealthiness down the hallway.
bluesunslayer (10:00:42 PM): Lester follows.
aodhnait fara (10:00:45 PM): haha.
bluesunslayer (10:01:07 PM): You see a sliver of a nicely-appointed, wood-panneled room.
bluesunslayer (10:01:17 PM): The lights are off.
jerks inc (10:01:32 PM): I put my back up to the side of the door.
bluesunslayer (10:01:36 PM): You hear another skitter from inside.
jerks inc (10:01:40 PM): I quietly motion for runner to draw his gun and do the same.
aodhnait fara (10:01:51 PM): Mansi draws her gun as well.
jerks inc (10:02:01 PM): I nod to lester and mouth, 'open the door'
jerks inc (10:02:12 PM): I get ready to whirl in, gun out, when lester does so.
scottthesock (10:02:15 PM): John draws and positions.
bluesunslayer (10:02:16 PM): Lester nods and pushes the door open.
jerks inc (10:02:24 PM): Eli is a blur.
jerks inc (10:02:31 PM): He's in the door way, gun out, as soon as it opens.
jerks inc (10:02:44 PM): Anything?
bluesunslayer (10:02:50 PM): The room is dark, illuminated only by the room in the hallway.
jerks inc (10:02:55 PM): If the lights are off and I can't see anything, I paw for a lightswitch.
jerks inc (10:02:59 PM): Gun still pointed inward.
bluesunslayer (10:03:02 PM): You see a dark shape, lurking near the floor in the corner.
bluesunslayer (10:03:19 PM): You do not find a light switch.
aodhnait fara (10:03:23 PM): Mansi stands just off to one side behind Eli. And squints.
jerks inc (10:03:27 PM): "Don't move." I say quietly, coldly. "Identify yourself."
bluesunslayer (10:03:33 PM): No response.
jerks inc (10:03:34 PM): I continue to paw for a light.
bluesunslayer (10:03:41 PM): THe skittering stops.
jerks inc (10:03:45 PM): Is it human?
aodhnait fara (10:03:58 PM): "Lights?" Mansi asks softly.
jerks inc (10:04:12 PM): "Can't find them." I say, gun pointed at the sound.
jerks inc (10:04:22 PM): I squint, ready to be blinded, should I find them.
bluesunslayer (10:04:23 PM): Silence.
bluesunslayer (10:04:29 PM): You find the light.
bluesunslayer (10:04:32 PM): It blinks on.
bluesunslayer (10:04:37 PM): There is a small cage in the corner.
jerks inc (10:04:37 PM): What am I pointing my gun at.
jerks inc (10:04:41 PM): Figures.
aodhnait fara (10:04:45 PM): heh
bluesunslayer (10:04:46 PM): Inside, there is a dinosaur.
jerks inc (10:04:48 PM): I immediately look for something not a cage.
aodhnait fara (10:04:50 PM): ...
aodhnait fara (10:04:51 PM): No
jerks inc (10:05:02 PM): Is anything else in the room?
aodhnait fara (10:05:02 PM): Mansi stares at the cage. "What is it?"
bluesunslayer (10:05:06 PM): It's about a foot tall, covered in downy feathers.
jerks inc (10:05:12 PM): "A dinosaur."
bluesunslayer (10:05:16 PM): It looks like a lizard chicken.
aodhnait fara (10:05:19 PM): "Huh."
bluesunslayer (10:05:22 PM): "Breep?"
bluesunslayer (10:05:27 PM): It says.
jerks inc (10:05:27 PM): Eli walks to the small creature.
purpledragicorn (10:05:33 PM): (*dies of the cuteness*)
aodhnait fara (10:05:35 PM): "Maybe it's the Clock of Long History."
jerks inc (10:05:38 PM): Gun pointed along the room, looking for anything else.
bluesunslayer (10:05:39 PM): You notice a collar around its neck.
jerks inc (10:05:48 PM): I pick up the cage.
jerks inc (10:05:51 PM): Assuming I can.
aodhnait fara (10:05:54 PM): Mansi follows, watching Eli's back.
bluesunslayer (10:05:55 PM): Lester comes in behind you.
jerks inc (10:05:55 PM): How big is this thing?
bluesunslayer (10:05:58 PM): You can pick it up.
bluesunslayer (10:06:02 PM): It's the size of a chicken.
bluesunslayer (10:06:03 PM): But leaner.
jerks inc (10:06:05 PM): I look at it, putting my gun away.
jerks inc (10:06:11 PM): I try to read it's collar.
bluesunslayer (10:06:16 PM): You recognize it as a raptor of some sort.
scottthesock (10:06:23 PM): "If we can't eat it or sell it, let's move on," says John.
bluesunslayer (10:06:25 PM): It's collar reads: "Fluffy."
jerks inc (10:06:26 PM): Is this sort of thing normal?
jerks inc (10:06:32 PM): I growl. "Fluffy my ass."
aodhnait fara (10:06:34 PM): "Runner, keep watch just outside."
purpledragicorn (10:06:35 PM): (*squees at the name*)
jerks inc (10:06:39 PM): Animal handling! Can I see if it's friendly?
aodhnait fara (10:06:42 PM): (HEE!!!!)
bluesunslayer (10:06:51 PM): You recall that some rich people can afford very expensive, very exotic pets.
bluesunslayer (10:06:57 PM): This thing is hella valuable.
jerks inc (10:07:13 PM): I wish to see if it's friendly.
aodhnait fara (10:07:21 PM): It's in a cage.
jerks inc (10:07:23 PM): So?
purpledragicorn (10:07:23 PM): (ahahahahaha. eric: i <3 you)
bluesunslayer (10:07:30 PM): Fluffy investigates your hands with its nose through the gaps in the cage.
bluesunslayer (10:07:38 PM): It makes chirping noises.
aodhnait fara (10:07:41 PM): Mansi looks at it apprehensively.
aodhnait fara (10:07:53 PM): "Can we not get side-tracked?"
jerks inc (10:07:55 PM): I want to roll animal handling and whatever else to get this thing to recognize me as non-hostile.
bluesunslayer (10:08:01 PM): Ok.
bluesunslayer (10:08:09 PM): Roll int plus animal handling.
jerks inc (10:08:14 PM): "This thing is likely worth more than my ship." I tell mansi.
jerks inc (10:08:16 PM): "And it's cute."
jerks inc (10:08:24 PM): Eli blinks. "Er, and expensive."
aodhnait fara (10:08:29 PM): "And it's not the Clock of Long Now."
OnlineHost (10:08:37 PM): jerks inc rolled 1 4-sided die: 1
aodhnait fara (10:08:42 PM): "If you want it, let's just take it and move on with our job."

jerks inc (10:08:46 PM): 6
bluesunslayer (10:08:59 PM): Fluffy coos and nuzzles your fingers.
jerks inc (10:09:00 PM): "If it makes a hell of a lot of noise, we can't take it."
jerks inc (10:09:08 PM): I take the cage, redraw my gun.
jerks inc (10:09:14 PM): (FLUFFY has joined the party!)
aodhnait fara (10:09:15 PM): "Don't shoot it."
bluesunslayer (10:09:18 PM): You might recall that genetic engineers often modify both size and disposition.
purpledragicorn (10:09:21 PM): (*still dying of t3h cute*)
bluesunslayer (10:09:26 PM): (Lawl)
jerks inc (10:09:27 PM): "Lets go."
aodhnait fara (10:09:31 PM): (*rescucitates Emi*)
aodhnait fara (10:09:37 PM): "Finally."
jerks inc (10:09:49 PM): Eli debates how much it would cost to have an attack-raptor.
bluesunslayer (10:10:16 PM): The Clock of Long Now is in the next room over.
purpledragicorn (10:10:18 PM): (*does final fantasy victory song: do do do do do doo do d-do!)
jerks inc (10:10:22 PM): He thinks for a while, the idea of shouting, "FLUFFY! ATTAAAAAAACK!" And rushing into combat astride a feathered dino flash through his mind.
aodhnait fara (10:10:31 PM): hahaha
jerks inc (10:10:32 PM): He shakes his head. Is there anything to move the clock with?
bluesunslayer (10:10:47 PM): You're not in the other room yet.
bluesunslayer (10:10:53 PM): I was stating a fact.
aodhnait fara (10:10:57 PM): Alright.
jerks inc (10:11:03 PM): Oh.
jerks inc (10:11:06 PM): I head to the clock room.
aodhnait fara (10:11:12 PM): Mansi follows
bluesunslayer (10:11:13 PM): The door to the other room is locked.
aodhnait fara (10:11:23 PM): She steps aside for Lester to do his thing.
bluesunslayer (10:11:29 PM): Lester takes one look at it and swears.
jerks inc (10:11:42 PM): Have I discovered whether the red light on the ring means there's a ship or space on the other side?
bluesunslayer (10:11:49 PM): You don't know.
jerks inc (10:12:08 PM): I ask lester.
purpledragicorn (10:12:08 PM): (but you do know you have a little feathery dinosaur under your arm)
jerks inc (10:12:19 PM): (Who's SO getting renamed to something pompous.)
bluesunslayer (10:12:26 PM): Fluffy is sniffing you, seeing if you have snacks.
aodhnait fara (10:12:39 PM): (haha)
jerks inc (10:12:41 PM): (Beuford Hardigan Rutheford Prime.)
jerks inc (10:12:51 PM): (or Burp, phoenetically.)
aodhnait fara (10:13:06 PM): Why did Lester swear?
aodhnait fara (10:13:12 PM): "What's wrong?" Mansi asks Lester?
jerks inc (10:13:13 PM): "What is it?" I ask lester.
bluesunslayer (10:13:21 PM): "That's not the lock on the schematic."
aodhnait fara (10:13:24 PM): (gah. Stupid pesky question mark)
jerks inc (10:13:26 PM): I go back to 'lookout' mode, scanning the hallways.
jerks inc (10:13:34 PM): "Can you get past it?"
aodhnait fara (10:13:36 PM): "Did we expect the lock on the schematics?"
bluesunslayer (10:13:50 PM): "I have to think. I don't know if I have the right lock picks."
aodhnait fara (10:13:52 PM): She raises an eyebrow at Lester."
jerks inc (10:14:03 PM): "If you can't get through it, can we shoot it?"
bluesunslayer (10:14:10 PM): "Normally these rooms don't have this kind of secruity because of the first lock."
bluesunslayer (10:14:27 PM): Lester stares at the door a moment.
bluesunslayer (10:14:39 PM): He hauls his foot back and kicks it resoundingly.
aodhnait fara (10:14:41 PM): "Can we not shoot unless we absolutely have to?"
aodhnait fara (10:14:54 PM): "Although kicking can work."
OnlineHost (10:14:56 PM): bluesunslayer rolled 2 8-sided dice: 2 8
bluesunslayer (10:15:08 PM): The hinge cracks.
jerks inc (10:15:13 PM): .blink.
bluesunslayer (10:15:13 PM): Lester pushes the door open.
jerks inc (10:15:20 PM): "Wow." I say.
bluesunslayer (10:15:24 PM): "Made of wood."
jerks inc (10:15:28 PM): "Imagine that."
aodhnait fara (10:15:35 PM): "Wow."
jerks inc (10:15:36 PM): Eli lowers his gun with a small frown.
jerks inc (10:15:44 PM): Is the clock where it should be?
bluesunslayer (10:15:49 PM): You betcha.
jerks inc (10:16:02 PM): "Now how do we get this damn thing back to the ship?"
bluesunslayer (10:16:03 PM): It's five feet tall, and made of steel.
aodhnait fara (10:16:05 PM): Mansi looks at Lester admiringly.
aodhnait fara (10:16:12 PM): Then looks at the clock.
bluesunslayer (10:16:12 PM): It's also very pretty.
aodhnait fara (10:16:20 PM): "Pretty," Mansi says.
purpledragicorn (10:16:21 PM): (ooo, shiny!)
aodhnait fara (10:16:27 PM): "Runner," she calls.
jerks inc (10:16:28 PM): Not as pretty as my feathery dinosaur!
aodhnait fara (10:16:40 PM): Pretty =/= cute
jerks inc (10:16:45 PM): I'm aware.
jerks inc (10:16:51 PM): But you tell Fluffy it isn't pretty.
jerks inc (10:16:54 PM): SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
aodhnait fara (10:17:00 PM): Fluffy isn't pretty.
jerks inc (10:17:05 PM): Eli shoots mansi in the face a lot.
jerks inc (10:17:08 PM): Back to the game.
purpledragicorn (10:17:09 PM): (*fluffy pees on your leg*)
aodhnait fara (10:17:09 PM): ...
aodhnait fara (10:17:12 PM): hahaha
aodhnait fara (10:17:20 PM): I thought birds only pooped
bluesunslayer (10:17:26 PM): Fluffly lets out a plaintive chirp.
aodhnait fara (10:17:32 PM): Runner?
scottthesock (10:17:34 PM): (They pee in their poop)
aodhnait fara (10:17:38 PM): Haha
jerks inc (10:17:41 PM): Is there anyway to get the clock out of the room and to our ship?
bluesunslayer (10:17:44 PM): (he's right)
bluesunslayer (10:17:49 PM): (Now back to the GAME!)
jerks inc (10:17:51 PM): Grav lift, fork lift, Runner lift?
aodhnait fara (10:17:58 PM): Runner lift
aodhnait fara (10:18:01 PM): With Lester backing
jerks inc (10:18:02 PM): Pneumatic lift of plot convenience?
bluesunslayer (10:18:06 PM): Two to three people can lift it.
aodhnait fara (10:18:11 PM): Because Eli's...effeminate
aodhnait fara (10:18:16 PM): :P
jerks inc (10:18:19 PM): Psh
jerks inc (10:18:22 PM): Eli is lazy.
aodhnait fara (10:18:22 PM): hee
aodhnait fara (10:18:25 PM): that too
jerks inc (10:18:30 PM): Eli hands fluffy to Mansi.
jerks inc (10:18:36 PM): "Carry him. Her. ..."
jerks inc (10:18:38 PM): "It, please."
aodhnait fara (10:18:44 PM): Mansi takes it and holds it at a little distance.
aodhnait fara (10:18:52 PM): Because he said Please.
bluesunslayer (10:18:57 PM): Fluffy sniffs Mansi, looking for snacks.
jerks inc (10:19:01 PM): "Runner. Lester." I nod to the clock and get read to lift it.
bluesunslayer (10:19:15 PM): Lester takes a position.
scottthesock (10:19:22 PM): "Can we take this stuff to a lifeboat and pick it up later?" ask John
aodhnait fara (10:19:35 PM): "Runner, stop complaining."
aodhnait fara (10:19:46 PM): Says Mansi from her relatively more comfortable vantage point.
jerks inc (10:19:52 PM): I ask lester, "Red light on the docking ring. Ship or space on the other side?"
aodhnait fara (10:19:58 PM): She looks behind her to make sure no one's sneaking up on them.
scottthesock (10:20:12 PM): "Up one is better than down 4 any day when you don't want to get caught."
bluesunslayer (10:20:14 PM): Lester stares at you. "What?"
jerks inc (10:20:27 PM): "The docking ring has a red light." I say to lester.
bluesunslayer (10:20:30 PM): Mansi, roll perception plus alertness
jerks inc (10:20:39 PM): "Do you know if that means there's a ship on the other side, or space?"
OnlineHost (10:20:44 PM): aodhnait fara rolled 1 6-sided die: 6
bluesunslayer (10:20:51 PM): "We need to get out of here."
OnlineHost (10:20:52 PM): aodhnait fara rolled 1 8-sided die: 3
bluesunslayer (10:20:54 PM): "Now."
aodhnait fara (10:20:54 PM): 9
aodhnait fara (10:21:05 PM): Adding a plot point.
bluesunslayer (10:21:07 PM): Mansi, you see something move out of the corner of your eye.
aodhnait fara (10:21:15 PM): Mansi stiffens.
jerks inc (10:21:17 PM): Eli doesn't ask questions, just lifts the clock. "Then lets go."
aodhnait fara (10:21:23 PM): She holds her hand up.
jerks inc (10:21:31 PM): Eli shuts up.
aodhnait fara (10:21:33 PM): She puts Fluffy down.
aodhnait fara (10:21:42 PM): She turns around slowly, gun at the ready.
jerks inc (10:21:44 PM): Eli stops trying to singlehandedly lift the clock and draws his gun.
bluesunslayer (10:21:51 PM): Fluffy peers down the hallway from his cage.
aodhnait fara (10:22:02 PM): Mansi strains trying to hear.
bluesunslayer (10:22:05 PM): The dinosaur hisses.
aodhnait fara (10:22:12 PM): Can she roll alertness with her specialty in hearing?
bluesunslayer (10:22:16 PM): Go for it.
jerks inc (10:22:27 PM): Can I roll to see if I can hear/see anything?
OnlineHost (10:22:30 PM): aodhnait fara rolled 1 12-sided die: 2
aodhnait fara (10:22:34 PM): fuck
scottthesock (10:22:46 PM): damm
bluesunslayer (10:23:18 PM): where's the other half of your roll?
jerks inc (10:23:31 PM): Eli unfolds the stock of his automatic pistol slowly and carefully, tucking it into the crook of his arm and gripping the small handle at the front.
aodhnait fara (10:23:34 PM): Should I have rolled alertness + alertness?
OnlineHost (10:23:42 PM): aodhnait fara rolled 1 12-sided die: 1
bluesunslayer (10:23:42 PM): And yes, you can roll
aodhnait fara (10:23:44 PM): 3
OnlineHost (10:23:45 PM): jerks inc rolled 2 6-sided dice: 1 3
jerks inc (10:23:47 PM): 4!
bluesunslayer (10:23:48 PM): No. It's alertness plus perception
jerks inc (10:23:48 PM): YES!
aodhnait fara (10:23:56 PM): oh. hang on then
OnlineHost (10:24:03 PM): aodhnait fara rolled 1 6-sided die: 1
aodhnait fara (10:24:07 PM): still 3
scottthesock (10:24:16 PM): We're so dead.
bluesunslayer (10:24:19 PM): (Rolls to notice something will always be alertness plus perception)
aodhnait fara (10:24:26 PM): (ok)
bluesunslayer (10:24:43 PM): You see nothing.
aodhnait fara (10:24:46 PM): Mansi takes a hesitating step forward.
bluesunslayer (10:24:57 PM): It's a well--lit hallways, no places to hide.
aodhnait fara (10:25:09 PM): No bulky furniture?
bluesunslayer (10:25:12 PM): You hear a soft click.
jerks inc (10:25:13 PM): Any vents?
bluesunslayer (10:25:20 PM): The lights blink out.
aodhnait fara (10:25:20 PM): Mansi stops cold.
jerks inc (10:25:24 PM): Fuck.
scottthesock (10:25:38 PM): "duck" says John, and does so.
jerks inc (10:25:40 PM): Eli goes into the clock room.
aodhnait fara (10:25:40 PM): And she didn't think to bring a flashlight. What an idiot she was.
bluesunslayer (10:25:53 PM): It's dark in here too.
jerks inc (10:25:54 PM): I try to flatten myself against the wall beside the door, hiding.
jerks inc (10:25:57 PM): I know.
bluesunslayer (10:26:00 PM): You trip over soemthing.
jerks inc (10:26:04 PM): Well, crap.
aodhnait fara (10:26:08 PM): Mansi moves closer to the wall.
bluesunslayer (10:26:12 PM): its a levitation platform.
jerks inc (10:26:19 PM): HAH!
aodhnait fara (10:26:24 PM): "A what?"
bluesunslayer (10:26:24 PM): Apparently, it's how they got the clock in the room to begin with.
bluesunslayer (10:26:29 PM): I'm not an entirely mean person.
scottthesock (10:26:32 PM): To carry the clock with.
jerks inc (10:26:36 PM): IT's an answer to a question I've been asking for the last ten minutes.
aodhnait fara (10:26:36 PM): (er, not the quotation marks)
jerks inc (10:26:39 PM): And it rocks.
jerks inc (10:26:53 PM): Are there emergency lights?
aodhnait fara (10:26:53 PM): ah
bluesunslayer (10:26:57 PM): No
jerks inc (10:27:04 PM): So somebody shut these lights off.
bluesunslayer (10:27:08 PM): Yes.
jerks inc (10:27:13 PM): Are there any lights whatsoever?
jerks inc (10:27:19 PM): Like on th eairlock, etc?
aodhnait fara (10:27:25 PM): Mansi tries to get her eyes adjusted to the dark.
bluesunslayer (10:27:27 PM): There's a dim ambient light, like moonlight on a cresent moon.
jerks inc (10:27:30 PM): I want to know if the power has been cut, or the lights just turned off.
scottthesock (10:27:33 PM): Then we go the other way. Take the clock and chicken.
bluesunslayer (10:27:47 PM): The sum total of the lights form elelectronic displays like the airlock light
aodhnait fara (10:27:47 PM): (hahahaha...that just sounds so...awesome)
jerks inc (10:28:00 PM): (hahaha)
aodhnait fara (10:28:06 PM): So the electronic displays are working.
bluesunslayer (10:28:06 PM): So, there's still power
bluesunslayer (10:28:11 PM): You can still hear the engines.
jerks inc (10:28:15 PM): I whisper, quiet as possible. "Help me get this on the grav platform."
bluesunslayer (10:28:17 PM): The lights have just been turned off.
jerks inc (10:28:27 PM): I get ready to lift the clock again.
bluesunslayer (10:28:40 PM): Lester helps.
jerks inc (10:28:41 PM): "Quick. Before we don't have time."
aodhnait fara (10:28:44 PM): Mansi says softly, "I'll do the looking."
jerks inc (10:29:00 PM): Eli nods, and rolls his eyes, figuring mansi probably can't see him nod anyway
aodhnait fara (10:29:03 PM): Mansi peers back out into the hallway for anything her eyes might catch.
jerks inc (10:29:26 PM): "Runner. Quick." Eli says, trying to lift the clock with lester. "Help us out here."
scottthesock (10:29:52 PM): John helps heft the clock onto the platform.
aodhnait fara (10:30:03 PM): Does she catch anything?
jerks inc (10:30:06 PM): Is there a way to secure the clock?
aodhnait fara (10:30:08 PM): A flicker or a shadow?

bluesunslayer (10:30:37 PM): Obviously, this platform was designed to move this clock.
bluesunslayer (10:30:41 PM): You don't see shit.
aodhnait fara (10:30:59 PM): Mansi fumbles at the wall for lights.
aodhnait fara (10:31:12 PM): If someone shut it off, she'd just try and turn it back on again, she figures.
aodhnait fara (10:31:33 PM): Does she find the switch?
jerks inc (10:31:47 PM): (This crew would totally jive to some Cowboy Bebop soundtrackness.)
scottthesock (10:31:52 PM): John hands her his lighter he lights Eli's cigars with.
jerks inc (10:31:58 PM): Hahaha
bluesunslayer (10:32:04 PM): Yes.
bluesunslayer (10:32:13 PM): The switch doesn't work.
jerks inc (10:32:32 PM): Eli turns to lester. "Red light on the hatch. You haven't answered my question and it needs answering."
jerks inc (10:32:38 PM): He speaks quietly still.
aodhnait fara (10:32:42 PM): Haha
aodhnait fara (10:32:49 PM): Mansi glares at John.
bluesunslayer (10:32:56 PM): "There's a ship there."
aodhnait fara (10:32:59 PM): "You think of this NOW?" she hissed.
aodhnait fara (10:33:15 PM): She clicks on the lighter.
jerks inc (10:33:16 PM): Eli swears in about three different dialects, all of them accented with the grace of a hippo.
aodhnait fara (10:33:27 PM): Now, does she see anything?
bluesunslayer (10:33:29 PM): You get a dim flicker of light, enough to see better.

scottthesock (10:34:20 PM): "Screw the hatch, we let this stuff float in a lifeboat and get it in the black after we're gone." said John again.
bluesunslayer (10:34:21 PM): No
aodhnait fara (10:34:44 PM): "Shh."
bluesunslayer (10:34:47 PM): "Life boats are upstairs. We might as well take it all the way to the shuttle."
aodhnait fara (10:35:25 PM): Mansi rolls her eyes and looks for anything that resembled a candle.
jerks inc (10:35:26 PM): "Wait. On this floor. The companion shuttles."
jerks inc (10:35:36 PM): "If one of those births is empty, we can dock with ours and get the hell out of here."

bluesunslayer (10:35:54 PM): "Let's try it."
jerks inc (10:36:01 PM): "Chances are good we'd be able to do so without much trouble, being as the companions come and go, also. Less of a tip off."
jerks inc (10:36:24 PM): Eli carefully makes his way down the hallway and to the non-cool people cabins.
aodhnait fara (10:36:31 PM): Mansi stops. "You're saying we can undock and redock without so much as a question?"
jerks inc (10:36:55 PM): "I'm saying we can undock, forcefully if we have to, skirt the ship and dock in a companion birth."
bluesunslayer (10:36:57 PM): "I mean, we might be able to fly a shuttle to the main docking ring and redock there."
jerks inc (10:37:15 PM): "That's even better."
jerks inc (10:37:35 PM): Eli wonders if companion clothing would sell for much.
aodhnait fara (10:37:52 PM): Mansi nods. "That's good."
jerks inc (10:37:52 PM): Eli grins, wondering if Mansi, in companion clothing, would sell for much.
jerks inc (10:38:03 PM): Eli wonders what John would look like in companion clothing..

scottthesock (10:40:06 PM): John wants his lighter but will get it later when he needs to smoke.
jerks inc (10:40:50 PM): Eli whispers to Lester. "The security office isn't much farther from the shuttle births. I want to take a look."
jerks inc (10:41:16 PM): "There could be something very wrong here, and I don't want to leave with out knowing if there's folk in trouble."
jerks inc (10:41:20 PM): For a moment, Eli looks heroic.
jerks inc (10:41:42 PM): "Lots of money to be made, saving people." he says, purposefully, in an effort to not look like he cares about anyone else.
bluesunslayer (10:41:43 PM): "Hao."
jerks inc (10:42:15 PM): Eli trots on, looking for anything out of place.

bluesunslayer (11:29:21 PM): You briefly see a humaniod figure move in front of you.
aodhnait fara (11:29:22 PM): lovely
bluesunslayer (11:29:42 PM): With a sweep of its leg, it knocked your feet out form under you.
bluesunslayer (11:29:52 PM): You collapse to the floor, and strike your head.
bluesunslayer (11:29:58 PM): Four stun damage.
bluesunslayer (11:30:00 PM): You're dizzy.
jerks inc (11:30:21 PM): Shit.
jerks inc (11:30:23 PM): There's two.
scottthesock (11:30:29 PM): I'm healthy as a horse so I heal quickly though, right?
jerks inc (11:30:38 PM): In the long run, not combat.
bluesunslayer (11:30:39 PM): Doesn't do you any good right now this instant.
bluesunslayer (11:30:53 PM): Lester is going for all-out defense.
jerks inc (11:30:55 PM): Also, keep in mind if stun overlaps lethal, you're unconcious.
bluesunslayer (11:30:58 PM): Runner's turn.
scottthesock (11:32:05 PM): I can take 1 non combat without penalty so I get up.
bluesunslayer (11:32:36 PM): You're still woozy.
bluesunslayer (11:32:44 PM): You don't see who attacked you.
scottthesock (11:33:32 PM): I draw the second gun and look for places he could've went.
bluesunslayer (11:34:04 PM): Roll perception plus alertness.
bluesunslayer (11:34:09 PM): Minus two step penality
scottthesock (11:34:31 PM): Why the 2?
scottthesock (11:34:43 PM): Woozy?
bluesunslayer (11:34:44 PM): One, because this is your second action of the turn.
bluesunslayer (11:34:49 PM): Another because you're woozy
scottthesock (11:35:01 PM): I can take 1 action with no penalty though.
jerks inc (11:35:13 PM): (He has the one-non-combat action thing)
bluesunslayer (11:35:21 PM): You did.
scottthesock (11:35:24 PM): Fighting type
bluesunslayer (11:35:25 PM): 1) Stand up
bluesunslayer (11:35:28 PM): 2) Draw gun
bluesunslayer (11:35:31 PM): 3) Search
scottthesock (11:35:40 PM): Oh. Ok.
bluesunslayer (11:35:41 PM): Stand up was free.
bluesunslayer (11:35:45 PM): Draw was number one.
bluesunslayer (11:35:52 PM): Search takes a penality
jerks inc (11:36:05 PM): Ah, I didn't see the draw the second gun thing.

jerks inc (11:38:14 PM): No innate defense?
purpledragicorn (11:38:14 PM): yes
jerks inc (11:38:19 PM): three plot points.
bluesunslayer (11:38:31 PM): Emi's prone, so no defense
jerks inc (11:38:33 PM): Can I do that?
aodhnait fara (11:38:36 PM): Ouch
bluesunslayer (11:38:37 PM): Yes
jerks inc (11:38:45 PM): I want to counteract the minus one on the second shot, and the -2 on the third.
bluesunslayer (11:38:45 PM): Emi's ninja is fucked.

bluesunslayer (11:39:30 PM): "STOP!"
aodhnait fara (11:39:40 PM): (thank goodness)
jerks inc (11:39:41 PM): "WHY?" Eli says, before shooting.
aodhnait fara (11:39:45 PM): ...
bluesunslayer (11:39:53 PM): "If they wanted us dead, we'd be dead."
jerks inc (11:39:59 PM): (FUCKING LESTER KEEPING ELI FROM DOING HIS ACTION HERO SHIT!)
aodhnait fara (11:40:03 PM): haha
bluesunslayer (11:40:06 PM): "You shoot him, that might change."
jerks inc (11:40:25 PM): Can Eli kick the other ninja in the face to incapacitate?
jerks inc (11:40:31 PM): Like, break HIS fucking nose?
bluesunslayer (11:40:40 PM): Of course.
jerks inc (11:40:43 PM): We're talking stomp on his head here.
jerks inc (11:40:50 PM): Critical condition =/= not dead.
jerks inc (11:40:55 PM): Eli does so. Roll unarmed?
bluesunslayer (11:41:06 PM): You can do whatever you like, although stomping on his head wil likely kill him.
jerks inc (11:41:08 PM): Plus strength, I'd imagine?
bluesunslayer (11:41:11 PM): Yes.
jerks inc (11:41:14 PM): I want to kick him in the face.
jerks inc (11:41:21 PM): Hard enough to incapacitate him, and hopefully break his nose.
bluesunslayer (11:41:25 PM): That could also kill him, but go ahead
jerks inc (11:41:33 PM): Sucks for him.
scottthesock (11:41:38 PM): Kick his nads.
aodhnait fara (11:41:43 PM): ow

jerks inc (11:41:54 PM): As hard as Eli can kick to the chest.
jerks inc (11:42:00 PM): Non lethal, likely to wind him REAL nicely.
jerks inc (11:42:04 PM): Especially when he's down.
bluesunslayer (11:42:06 PM): You can STOMP on his chest
bluesunslayer (11:42:08 PM): or KICK his side

bluesunslayer (11:45:46 PM): Both Eli and Mansi bleed profusely.

bluesunslayer (11:55:26 PM): None of you see a thing, until a katana blade appears at Eli's throat.
jerks inc (11:55:34 PM): Eli shuts up, his gun still on Frank.
jerks inc (11:55:55 PM): Eli gets the most disgusting, misguided, insane grin on his face as his eyes go wide.
bluesunslayer (11:55:58 PM): Now that you have a point to anchor your vision, you see the shimmering outline of a female form.
bluesunslayer (11:56:16 PM): "Leave. Now," she says in Chinese.
jerks inc (11:56:26 PM): Eli narrows his eyes, still grinning, on where he would percieve a face. "Fuck you." Eli says.

aodhnait fara (11:57:26 PM): Mansi freezes.
jerks inc (11:57:27 PM): "You obviously don't know how shitty my day has been." I tell the other ninja.
aodhnait fara (11:57:30 PM): Can she see the female?
bluesunslayer (11:57:32 PM): "Drop your weapons. Now."
bluesunslayer (11:57:40 PM): Yes

scottthesock (11:57:53 PM): "I'll kill you before his head hits the floor," says John.
aodhnait fara (11:57:57 PM): What does she look like?

bluesunslayer (11:58:27 PM): She looks like a transparent outline of a woman.
jerks inc (11:58:34 PM): "Otherwise this is going to turn into a blood bath."
bluesunslayer (11:58:34 PM): You can really only see her if you move a bit.
jerks inc (11:58:45 PM): "I don't want to kill any of you. I don't want to die."
bluesunslayer (11:59:02 PM): "If you don't wish to die, drop your weapons and leave"
aodhnait fara (11:59:07 PM): Mansi's gun is at her side, hidden by her knees.
jerks inc (11:59:09 PM): "Not going to happen."
bluesunslayer (11:59:15 PM): "You can keep the chicken lizard and the clock."
jerks inc (11:59:28 PM): Eli thinks for a minute.
aodhnait fara (11:59:30 PM): Haha
jerks inc (11:59:37 PM): "Deal. Now get the fuck out of my face."
scottthesock (11:59:45 PM): "I'm cool with that if you are Eli", says John.
bluesunslayer (11:59:46 PM): "Drop your weapons first."

scottthesock (12:02:06 AM): He was actually.
jerks inc (12:02:11 AM): Eli wonders how fast he can pick up his gun and smoke frank.

bluesunslayer (12:05:30 AM): (And grabs the dinosaur cage)
bluesunslayer (12:05:45 AM): "Breep," goes the dinosaur.

jerks inc (12:06:51 AM): After deciding they're still in the green, Eli closes the door behind them, clock intact.
jerks inc (12:07:08 AM): Eli, silently, sits down at the shuttle.
jerks inc (12:07:12 AM): Presses the button to GTFO.
jerks inc (12:07:38 AM): Eli looks pissed off.
jerks inc (12:07:48 AM): His shoulder slumped, he rubs at his nose, wincing.
bluesunslayer (12:07:50 AM): The shuttle departs and, rounds the corner of the ship.
bluesunslayer (12:08:01 AM): The com flares to life. It's Wu.
aodhnait fara (12:08:02 AM): Mansi stands next to Eli. "That went relatively well."

aodhnait fara (12:10:19 AM): "Not with our ship. We'll be flagged for..."
bluesunslayer (12:10:22 AM): "It doesn't matter if they see the ship."
aodhnait fara (12:10:25 AM): "A really long distance around."
jerks inc (12:10:26 AM): "We need to get the hell out of here."
aodhnait fara (12:10:28 AM): "Oh?"
bluesunslayer (12:10:32 AM): "You two already left your blood all over the ship."
aodhnait fara (12:10:40 AM): "Point."
bluesunslayer (12:10:46 AM): "They'll have the DNA results in a day."
jerks inc (12:10:51 AM): "I'll take the alliance over the ninjas any day."
bluesunslayer (12:11:05 AM): (Those last few lines, were Lester. Sorry)
jerks inc (12:11:05 AM): "And pray to god they remember we did them a favor."
jerks inc (12:11:08 AM): buddha
jerks inc (12:11:09 AM): pray to buddha
jerks inc (12:11:19 AM): God doesn't live in the verse, I keep forgetting.
bluesunslayer (12:11:35 AM): Not tat your decision matters much, becuse you see a big, pink monstrosity approaching.
jerks inc (12:11:43 AM): Eli grins.
jerks inc (12:11:54 AM): His eyes scan the words 'Underdog.'
jerks inc (12:12:10 AM): His eyes water as he breathes through his nose, a sharp pain flaring.
purpledragicorn (12:12:18 AM): god does live in the verse, mal kisses a cross in the pilot, and shepard book has a bible
jerks inc (12:12:26 AM): "Good to see you, girl." he says, sounding partially delerious.
bluesunslayer (12:12:28 AM): "You all need medical help. Real medical help," says Lester.
aodhnait fara (12:12:30 AM): haha
bluesunslayer (12:12:45 AM): You are able to dock safely.
jerks inc (12:12:46 AM): Eli lays back in the pilot seat of the shuttle and passes out.
bluesunslayer (12:12:55 AM): Wu punches the GTFO button on Underdog.
aodhnait fara (12:13:14 AM): Mansi raises her eyebrow at Eli, then decides to leave him there.
jerks inc (12:13:45 AM): (God, if Eli took another blow, he was going down.(
bluesunslayer (12:14:03 AM): Lester looks Mansi over. "Looks like Eli's not the only one with a broken nose."
bluesunslayer (12:14:15 AM): "You need to have that looked at."
jerks inc (12:14:18 AM): (YAY! That makes them sisters!)
jerks inc (12:14:24 AM): (<.<)
purpledragicorn (12:14:24 AM): (<3)
jerks inc (12:14:27 AM): (<3
aodhnait fara (12:14:35 AM): "You noticed," Mansi says wryly.
aodhnait fara (12:15:18 AM): Mansi touches her nose gingerly. Forget feeling like hell, she looked like hell; she didn't need a mirror to tell her.
bluesunslayer (12:15:29 AM): "Do you know of a place to go for a doctor?"
jerks inc (12:15:53 AM): Eli mutters. "Hell." Though it's not sure whether he's mumbling to himself or responding.
aodhnait fara (12:16:35 AM): "Yeah, but it's not exactly nearby."
bluesunslayer (12:17:06 AM): "Where?"
scottthesock (12:17:29 AM): "I'll get Eli so he'll wake up later in the infirmary at least." John starts to heft him somewhat carefully onto a shoulder.
jerks inc (12:18:09 AM): Eli groans. "I'm fine."
aodhnait fara (12:18:11 AM): Mansi hesitates. She didn't want to trouble her cousin when so much was going on already for her. "Shadow. Binky."
purpledragicorn (12:18:17 AM): (you guys ran away from battle. you lose all exp. but FLUFFY is still part of the party. )
jerks inc (12:18:29 AM): (Psh! We fucking owned Frank.)
jerks inc (12:18:41 AM): (It was a scripted boss fight. We won.)
aodhnait fara (12:18:42 AM): (I think we got lucky with Frank)
bluesunslayer (12:18:48 AM): Lester nods and goes to the com. "Wu, set a course for Shadow and get us there as quick as you can."
purpledragicorn (12:18:50 AM): (he was given a hi-potion)
jerks inc (12:18:52 AM): (Luck nothing. That was plot points at work.)
aodhnait fara (12:18:59 AM): (haha)
bluesunslayer (12:19:14 AM): We'll end there.
jerks inc (12:19:15 AM): "We're not allowed on shadow." Eli mutters, eyes still closed, blood soaking his shirt.
bluesunslayer (12:19:26 AM): Ok... we'lll keep goign a bit
aodhnait fara (12:19:27 AM): "There's a way around that."
aodhnait fara (12:19:31 AM): (sorry, Li.)
bluesunslayer (12:19:35 AM): No problem.
jerks inc (12:19:36 AM): "Does it involve spending money?"
bluesunslayer (12:19:49 AM): "You need a doctor. We can deal with Shadow."
aodhnait fara (12:19:52 AM): "Yeah. We can't expect Bianca to pay her own passage to us."
bluesunslayer (12:20:04 AM): "Otherwise, you're about to get powerful hideous in the face."
jerks inc (12:20:12 AM): Eli raises his head, regarding mansi with unwiped blood covering his mouth. "Too late for that, Lester."
aodhnait fara (12:20:12 AM): Mansi shudders. "Please."
bluesunslayer (12:20:18 AM): "I'll pull a few strings on Shadow."
jerks inc (12:20:21 AM): Eli looks at Mansi.
aodhnait fara (12:20:26 AM): Mansi kicks Eli weakly.
aodhnait fara (12:20:36 AM): "You're not lookin' too hot yourself."
jerks inc (12:20:38 AM): He nods, watching her. "Fine. Fine. Can't have Mansi lookin' like the old man."
jerks inc (12:20:50 AM): Eli waves at mansi, drunkenly. "I'm beautiful."
bluesunslayer (12:20:54 AM): "She wasn't punched in the face that much."
jerks inc (12:20:56 AM): "It's you I'm worried about."
jerks inc (12:21:09 AM): Eli wipes his mouth and examines his sleeve.
aodhnait fara (12:21:16 AM): Mansi snorts.
bluesunslayer (12:21:21 AM): "I'll get you two some ice."
bluesunslayer (12:21:24 AM): Lester leaves.
jerks inc (12:21:29 AM): "Make sure it's in a glass!" Eli shouts.
jerks inc (12:21:35 AM): "With something powerful strong!"
aodhnait fara (12:21:35 AM): "I could make your nose worse."
bluesunslayer (12:21:40 AM): (Not for their face, but for their raging hormones)
aodhnait fara (12:21:43 AM): haha
jerks inc (12:21:59 AM): Eli looks at mansi, and nods. "You'd still look worse than me."
jerks inc (12:22:06 AM): He stands up.
jerks inc (12:22:30 AM): Eli smiles. "Did you see his face when I held his hand?"
aodhnait fara (12:22:33 AM): "Right."
jerks inc (12:22:36 AM): He chuckles to himself, walking into the ship.
aodhnait fara (12:22:51 AM): Mansi grinned. "Now that was beautiful," she said, walking with him.
jerks inc (12:22:59 AM): Eli nods, grinning.
aodhnait fara (12:23:09 AM): I think we can end there?
bluesunslayer (12:23:14 AM): Sure
jerks inc (12:23:19 AM): Haha.
bluesunslayer (12:23:27 AM): Ok
