Salda007: yo
JonTheCat: Yo
JonTheCat: We're in the lab at MHC
JonTheCat: Yay having a nice academic
connection
Salda007: yay!
Salda007: /me huggles his Brown connection
Salda007: hey, what do they call the teleporters in
Star Trek?
JonTheCat: I just showed Larissa the cutscene
with the "That's a zergling, Lester" from SC
JonTheCat: Transporters
Salda007: having a brain fart here
Salda007: ahh, k
Salda007: lol
JonTheCat: np
JonTheCat: [codes heroes of might and star
wars busily]
Salda007: ��o
Salda007: "Heros of Might and Star Wars"?
JonTheCat: The computer game I'm writing for
fun
JonTheCat: It will be leet.
Celi Skywalker: :-P
Salda007: And I'm guessing you're basing this on
"Heros of Might and Magic"
JonTheCat: You're guessing correctly
JonTheCat: I'm working on the most limitted
feature set possible so I can get something I
can play with.
JonTheCat: My first creature implemented is
an ewok.
Salda007: lol
JonTheCat: 'cause it shoots and has no
special abilities
JonTheCat: aside from just being annoyingly
cute
Salda007: heh
Salda007: *downloads and listens to Metallica and
the Trans-Siberian Orchestra's version of "Carol
of the Bells" because it's kick-ass
JonTheCat: Whee Metallica
JonTheCat: Theme music will be harder
remoteley.
JonTheCat: Oh well.
JonTheCat: "Imagine tainted love is playing
now..."
JonTheCat: Oh yeah, Larissa reminds me
JonTheCat: when was the first time you heard
the name "Tarillia" in game?
JonTheCat: And when did you run into her after
that?
Salda007: uhhh...
Salda007: mebbie when we remoted her ship?
JonTheCat: Hmmm...
JonTheCat: It would have been in some oof the
journals Stephi stole
JonTheCat: But you guys already knew it was
bad news that it was Tarrillia's ship
JonTheCat: So you had to have heard of her
earlier somehow
JonTheCat: that's what's confusing me...
Salda007: I think that was us using OOC info IC,
actually
Salda007: or mebbie just the way he told us it was
Tarillia's?
JonTheCat: Maybe
JonTheCat: I'm not sure
JonTheCat: There was the torture chamver of
course
Salda007: well, yeah
Salda007: and the "oh, GEEZ there is bad noonah
floating around" feeling I got from it it...
JonTheCat: Rissa's convinced you
guys knew beforehand, and I'm inclined to
agree.
JonTheCat: I just want to remember how.
Salda007: Bat Am Ahd?
JonTheCat: Possibly
Celi Skywalker: I don't think Jon would've let us
tell others as much as we had in game if we only
knew out of game
Celi Skywalker: though sometiems even jon slips
up
Celi Skywalker: but i don't think that badly
JonTheCat: One never knows
Celi Skywalker: :-P
Celi Skywalker: Celi isn't a healthy character at the
momeny
Celi Skywalker: *momen
Celi Skywalker: t
Salda007: ?
Stampbook has entered the room.
Stampbook: its me
Stampbook: and you
Stampbook: and you
JonTheCat: And yo mama
JonTheCat: No, jsut kiidding about that part.
JonTheCat: We're waiting for Jay now.
Salda007: so, where again were we when we last
left our heros?
JonTheCat: Well, we're going to retcon that a
bit.
Salda007: it's been a while and my head was fuzzy
by the time we actually wrapped
Salda007: ahhh, k?
JonTheCat: And we can actually do that now
without Jay
JonTheCat: So...
Celi Skywalker: hello all
JonTheCat: I'm going to step us back in time a
bit.
JonTheCat: Last time on our exciting
adventures
JonTheCat: you guys made the universe
collapse.
JonTheCat: Dammit, I hate it when that
happens.
Salda007: eep?
JonTheCat: At which point you all went flying
out of the dark place in the Force.
JonTheCat: You were back in the cave with the
Jedi
Salda007: .oO(That wasn't *supposed* to do that when I flipped the switch...)
JonTheCat: who were battling waves of Vong
JonTheCat: Next, the Jedi masters said "The Shadow is weak. Hold here, and we'll finish it off.
Salda007: ok
JonTheCat: And they leaped into the shadow place
JonTheCat: and within about 30 seocnds the shadow swas gone and they were back.
JonTheCat: Looking tired.
JonTheCat: Buuutttt not as tired as Celi.
JonTheCat: When Ben gets back
Stampbook: im here
JonTheCat: You have an away msg tho
JonTheCat: weird
Stampbook: i jst pu my away message on so others dont im me
JonTheCat: I see
Stampbook: (not that anyone would do that in the first place
Stampbook: )
JonTheCat: When Rissa gets back, we'll do a little combat simm to explain how things will work on IM
Stampbook: ok
JonTheCat: (fires up the character sheets)
JonTheCat: Maps will be hard- I'll have to draw them up and send them as jpgs or something
Stampbook: yeah
JonTheCat: So... the way combat will work.
JonTheCat: I will announce actions as they happen.
JonTheCat: Challenges will happen in private windows.
JonTheCat: That way we don't all hear which powers each other is using.
JonTheCat: And I will describe what happens in the main chat.
Salda007: poop...
Celi Skywalker: :-P
JonTheCat: :-)
JonTheCat: Also i'm not going to announce challenges if there's little you can do about it, 'cause it tips people off
Stampbook: O:-)
JonTheCat: unless they have some metamagic to detect it.
Salda007: just curious, anyone else have an IRC client?
JonTheCat: [shakes head]
Stampbook: ???? [looks puzzled]
JonTheCat: So... two Vong are attacking you guys
JonTheCat: Initiative...
*OnlineHost*: Salda007 rolled 2 20-sided dice: 10 10
Salda007: ...
Salda007: wait, wrong system ^_^
JonTheCat: Okay, Celi shoots one on stun. It staggers but keeps coming.
PerrinGo1deneyes has entered the room.
PerrinGo1deneyes: lo all
JonTheCat: Yo
Salda007: ((hey Matt))
JonTheCat: This is Paul's buddy Matt
JonTheCat: His character's not genned yet
JonTheCat: but he'll be observing and I'll be character-genning
PerrinGo1deneyes: nice ta meetcha
Celi Skywalker: I'm the residential nutcase just kidding
JonTheCat: No she's not ;-)
PerrinGo1deneyes: lol. i had Paul pegged for that
Salda007: yup, guilty as charged ^_^
Celi Skywalker: O:-)
JonTheCat: -I'm- the residential nutcase.
Celi Skywalker: IIIIIIIIII=I=I==================================
JonTheCat: I came up with Spider Demons, thank you.
Celi Skywalker: yes dear
Celi Skywalker: ok, i forfeit
PerrinGo1deneyes: Paul's at least � kender in rl
PerrinGo1deneyes: nice lightsaber, btw ^_^
Celi Skywalker: :-)
JonTheCat: Stephanie draws her lightsaber.
JonTheCat: and ignites it
Salda007: Jon, why don't you just tell us when our initiative is up, then we can describe our actions ourselves
Salda007: or at least what the others would see as our actions
Salda007: and we IM challenges to you if they're not obvious...
JonTheCat: Sounds good.
JonTheCat: I'll leave it to you to decide whether you do it in public or private band.
Salda007: *Mudakka yanks his lightsaber from his bandoleer, and with a double {snap-hissss} both ends ignite.*
Salda007: :-D
PerrinGo1deneyes: show off
Celi Skywalker: he is
Stampbook: its sad but truw
Stampbook: true
PerrinGo1deneyes: lo
crazytenor1 has entered the room.
Celi Skywalker: YAY!
Salda007: *Mudakka also sticks his tongue out at the OOC-ites floating around and twirls the double saber around impressive-like.*
JonTheCat: Okay
JonTheCat: The first Yuuzhan vong roars and charges.
JonTheCat: The second changes his staff to snake mode and does likewise.
JonTheCat: Kay
Salda007: Hello, CrazyTenor! I'm Crazy Wookiee!
crazytenor1: Hello, Crazy Wookie
Salda007: ack! neon blue name of death!
PerrinGo1deneyes: heh... looks... uhm... orangish here
JonTheCat: I don't see any neon blue here.
Celi Skywalker: cut the chatter rogue one
JonTheCat: Lol
Salda007: :-P
Salda007: ...
Salda007: ahhh, damnit, stupid AIM...
crazytenor1: So, what do we do about charging dudes
Celi Skywalker: you aren't here jay, sadly
JonTheCat: Combat works via private messaging
JonTheCat: I message people when it's their turn
JonTheCat: they describe their actions
crazytenor1: ah
PerrinGo1deneyes: ah
JonTheCat: Celi takes out both her blasters
JonTheCat: One she sets to overload
JonTheCat: The other she blasts a Vong wtih
Salda007: ((ahh, the joys of Quick-Draw...))
Celi Skywalker: <grin>
JonTheCat: She hits. This slows him down a little but not too much...
JonTheCat: Him bein' a Vong and all.
PerrinGo1deneyes: ((damn Vong...))
Salda007: *steps into an offensive stance and circles around towards the one with the staff.*
JonTheCat: Both Vong engage Mudakka.
JonTheCat: Snakey first.
Salda007: ((poop))
Celi Skywalker: <shrug> I'm not the front line today
Salda007: ((well, you're practically dead...))
PerrinGo1deneyes: ((gotta restart real quick... I'll brb))
Celi Skywalker: so?
PerrinGo1deneyes has left the room.
JonTheCat: Mudakka parries and destroys the whip
Salda007: *then steps in and counter-attacks the guy with the now-destroyed whip.*
JonTheCat: but the saber drags across his crab-armor and does no real damage
JonTheCat: The staff Vong strikes a glancing blow to Mudakka's shoulder
JonTheCat: Down the hall you hear a roar and shooting and lightsaber sounds.
Salda007: ((umm, what kind of roar?))
Salda007: ((heh...))
JonTheCat: Stephanie hits the staff guy as he takes his swing
JonTheCat: Some unidentifiable vonglife.
Salda007: ((k))
JonTheCat: The caves are a total chaos and mess.
JonTheCat: Celi unloads a stun shot over Mudakka's shoulder.
JonTheCat: putting away the other blaster.
Salda007: ((stun?))
PerrinGo1deneyes has entered the room.
JonTheCat: Yes
JonTheCat: It's the overloaded blaster
Salda007: ahh
JonTheCat: And it knocks out one and slightly stuns the other
Salda007: ((smart thinking))
JonTheCat: who has no weapon
JonTheCat: Mudakka's turn
JonTheCat: Or rather none drawn yet
Celi Skywalker: :-)
Salda007: ((so the one that's left is disarmed?))
PerrinGo1deneyes: ((better...))
Salda007: ((eep! neon yellow now..))
JonTheCat: I'm so glad I'm using a max
JonTheCat: *mac
Salda007: *Mudakka spins and slashes at the remaining Vong*
PerrinGo1deneyes: ((yuck))
JonTheCat: Success. The other Vong goes down.
JonTheCat: The Jedi masters are back.
Celi Skywalker: <slump...straighten>
JonTheCat: They fan out, kicking ass, and are eventually pressed back.
JonTheCat: One of them says: "There's a strange shadow out there. Maybe more than one."
JonTheCat: Down the hall you see a blast come from nowhere and take down a Vong from behind.
Stampbook: "is it helping us or attacking us?"
JonTheCat: Master Sut "Difficult to say... hard to see the darkness is"
JonTheCat: Then there is another blast.
Salda007: {{ItSome sort of
Celi Skywalker: and hard to fight
JonTheCat: Into the nothingness where the first blast was.
Salda007: {{It's some sort of carbine.}}
JonTheCat: and an animal-like scream.
JonTheCat: And then running footsteps.
Celi Skywalker: (draw lightsaber)
Salda007: ((In the past I've used (( )) for OOC, * * for actions, " " for spoken, :: :: for comms, and { } for other languages))
JonTheCat: That works
Salda007: ((makes things easier to distinguish ^_^))
Celi Skywalker: ((k))
PerrinGo1deneyes: ((yep, and when there a lot of different languages going around... {{S text}} and {{Huttese: text}} ))
PerrinGo1deneyes: (( S should be Shyrriwook: ))
JonTheCat: Lioris yells "Grutchin!"
JonTheCat: A big insectile head comes through the walls near you.
Salda007: {Huh?}
JonTheCat: spewing gobs of dissolving rocks.
Salda007: ((eep!))
Celi Skywalker: ((jon says cinematics))
JonTheCat: But it has barely emerged when a mynock begins dive-bombing it.
crazytenor1: uh-huh
JonTheCat: And Master Sut points at the wall which begins to liquefy around it.
JonTheCat: It pulls away and the breach seals.
JonTheCat: Master Motasare: We can't take this much longer...
JonTheCat: ...
JonTheCat: ...
JonTheCat: But you do.
JonTheCat: The battle lasts another 12 hours.
JonTheCat: Everyone is exhausted by the end.
JonTheCat: Many more people are wounded.
JonTheCat: But suddenly the Vong flee.
Salda007: ((mmm... cutscene))
Stampbook: (we were exhausted at the beginning)
Salda007: (but we've been recovering/pacing ourselves over the next 12 hours...)
Celi Skywalker: ((cutscenes are nice, no thinking))
JonTheCat: (the Vong don't really give you the chance...)
Salda007: ((err, I mean we've been using up stuff as fast as we're recovering it))
JonTheCat: More or less yeah.
JonTheCat: Stephannie slips out and discovers a small shadowy body.
Celi Skywalker: <I get out a comm and try and get Mace>
crazytenor1: hey
Celi Skywalker: hey, can you see what's happening with the Youzzhan Vong fleet out there?
crazytenor1: It's all a mess from here
Salda007: *finds Tweak, makes sure he's in close enough to one piece that he's recoverable.*
Celi Skywalker: what kind of mess? scads of vong fighters?
JonTheCat: He's ok, has been turned back into a concussion gun
Salda007: {You enjoying yourself there?}
Celi Skywalker: ((who are you talking to?))
Salda007: ((tweak ^_^))
crazytenor1: I'm coming down
JonTheCat: Di'Ku (a Jedi knight you rescued): This could be a trap. Be careful.
Celi Skywalker: to mace: can we get back off the surface?
crazytenor1: Likely
Celi Skywalker: we should make it to an entrance thne
Celi Skywalker: *then
crazytenor1: yeeees
Celi Skywalker: which?
Celi Skywalker: we destroyed one
JonTheCat: The front is destroyed.
Celi Skywalker: to master motisare: can we get out the back?
Stampbook: how about the back then?
JonTheCat: Master Reader Lioris: I'll scout ahead (closes eyes)
Celi Skywalker: *puts cerberus back in pack*
JonTheCat: [a moment passes]
JonTheCat: Lioris: I think it's OK.
JonTheCat: Lioris: Master Sut, you made a mess of the place.
Salda007: ((oh, wait... *opens up NPC list*))
Celi Skywalker: lets go then, * celi leads way with lightsaber in hand)
Celi Skywalker: *
Celi Skywalker: *flashlight in other hand, if its dark*
Salda007: *chuckles at Sut's response. He's used that tone many times before ^_^*
Celi Skywalker: ((haven't we all))
crazytenor1: nope
JonTheCat: Fekk (Twilek healer Jedi): Celi, wait. You belong under cover. You look close to
dead.
Salda007: *adds his emphatic Wookiee agreement to Fekk, and steps closer to Celi*
JonTheCat: You all convoy out to the back entrance.
JonTheCat: The swamp where you guys fought Master Motasare is in ruins
JonTheCat: The crystal towers have tipped over
Salda007: (("I will not loot the bodies, I will not loot the bodies, I will not loot the bodies..."))
JonTheCat: and the ground is cratered.
Celi Skywalker: ((that's stephanie's job))
JonTheCat: There are Vong scattered everywhere.
JonTheCat: Drowned, bruised, broken, burned, electricuted
JonTheCat: It's a mess.
Salda007: {{Ummm... Yikes...}}
JonTheCat: There's a giant stinking corpse of a something which is still on fire.
JonTheCat: About 20 feet high.
JonTheCat: Master Motasare picks up his detector droid as you pass it. Amazingly, it's still intact.
Salda007: *coughs, then covers his nose, muttering something about when having a Wookiees' sense of smell
isn't so great.*
JonTheCat: Celi tries not to limp
JonTheCat: Mace is keeping the ship, ramp down, hovering at the entrance.
JonTheCat: Ready to take off in an instant.
Salda007: *jogs as best he can to the edge of the ramp and starts helping people up.*
Celi Skywalker: *celi heads to the cockpit* Mudakka let me know when everyone ison
crazytenor1: You look pretty beat up. Ought to take better care of yourselves
Salda007: ::{{got it!}}::
JonTheCat: The worst wounded is the ambassadors 8-year-old daughter.
Celi Skywalker: *glare*
JonTheCat: Not made for combat, her.
Salda007: ((*facepalms*))
Celi Skywalker: you've missed all the fun mace
crazytenor1: damn!
Celi Skywalker: how's the ship holding up?
crazytenor1: We've emergency med kits back there somewhere
Salda007: ((actually, he probably had more than enough fun playing tag with a friggin Vong fleet))
Celi Skywalker: i can't do any more good with a med kit
Celi Skywalker: at the moment
Celi Skywalker: *looks down* this is AFTER treatment with a medkit
Salda007: ((*pokepoke* Fekk can...))
Celi Skywalker: ((stop that))
crazytenor1: well, I wasn't offering them, just saying that they were there :-P
Celi Skywalker: I'll be back
Celi Skywalker: I want to bacta patch the ambassador's daughter
JonTheCat: You all bundle in
JonTheCat: Not enough seatbelts for everyone
JonTheCat: Not by a long shot.
Salda007: ::{{That's it, we're all in! Let's go!}}::
Celi Skywalker: everyone hold on!
Salda007: *hops up himself as the hatch closes.*
Flyx the Farghul has entered the room.
Celi Skywalker: back to cockpit for me
Salda007: ((err, *hops up himself and hits the hatch-close button*))
PerrinGo1deneyes: ((that's me, btw))
PerrinGo1deneyes has left the room.
Celi Skywalker: i think i need a seatbelt for this
Salda007: *squeezes into the cockpit to make more room in the back.*
crazytenor1: Let's go
Salda007: {{Don't worry, no one else has one.}}
Celi Skywalker: you could probably breath on me and i'd falll over
crazytenor1: *breath*
JonTheCat: Cerberus glares
JonTheCat: Starts licking mommy's wounds
Celi Skywalker: funny, mace
Celi Skywalker: cerberus, its ok, mommy will be fine
JonTheCat: Fekk: Stop that!
Salda007: *moves over and puts a supporting arm around Celi's shoulders*
Celi Skywalker: ((you have to lean down awfully far for that))
JonTheCat: Lioris: I got it. Cerberus...
JonTheCat: (stares at cerberus)
JonTheCat: Cerberus growls at her instead
Salda007: ((err, actually, you're in the copilot seat, aren't you...))
Stampbook: stephi comes over to mudaka and celi
Celi Skywalker: get this bird moving, mace
Celi Skywalker: cerberus, no growling at the nice jedi
Stampbook: "how are you holding up celi?"
Celi Skywalker: *celi stands up*
crazytenor1: Are we curious about the battle or should we get the hell out of here?
JonTheCat: Oh yeah
JonTheCat: Celi looks like shit
JonTheCat: She has two bad blaster burns,
JonTheCat: the old injury from the factory fight, still healing
JonTheCat: and... she's really pale.
JonTheCat: You might say... parts of her are translucent.
Celi Skywalker: (whispering to stephanie) if you EVER summon shadows when the
Celi Skywalker: enemy can clearly take control over them, I will consider you a threat,
Celi Skywalker: and make sure you don't take combat rounds, is that clear?
Salda007: ((*frowns at Celi* "Combat rounds? what're those?"))
JonTheCat: The ship starts clawing for altitude.
Celi Skywalker: ((you get the idea))
Celi Skywalker: *celi tries to sit down, but more accurately falls back into her chair*
Salda007: *frowns at Celi.* {{Celi, you look like crap. Soon as we make hyperspace, I'm getting Fekk...}}
Celi Skywalker: let her take care of the girl first
Celi Skywalker: I will live
Salda007: {{You sure of that?}}
Stampbook: *stephi leans down and give celi a small hug and whispers "i'm sorry. I wont
do that again. but we did it. We pulled through"*
JonTheCat has left the room.
Celi Skywalker: hang on
JonTheCat has entered the room.
Celi Skywalker: *celi nods* we survived. but we aren't done yet
JonTheCat: The Comm crackles
JonTheCat: A familiar insectile voice over the comm...
JonTheCat: Tarrillia: "Sorry I'm late, but I had to get my ship back."
Celi Skywalker: mace, get us out...NOW!
JonTheCat: Tarrillia: "Head for 56 mark .75 and my cruisers will cover for you."
Celi Skywalker: ((what do we see))
Salda007: {{Oh, <<sanitized for your protection>>}}
JonTheCat: Mace has tagged a little closer to the battle to check it out.
JonTheCat: Yuuzhan Vong forces are fighting each other.
JonTheCat: One side seems to be winning
JonTheCat: but they all look the same to you.
JonTheCat: A flying wing ship is darting among them
JonTheCat: kicking ass.
JonTheCat: it's black.
JonTheCat: It's beautiful.
JonTheCat: Mace banks the ship around and runs for it.
Celi Skywalker: (does it look like we have any choice? and do they have any
JonTheCat: A pair of Yuuzhan Vong cruisers come out of hyperspace on both flanks
Celi Skywalker: of the vong life that can keep ships out of hyperspace)
JonTheCat: They zip past you, spratying covering fire
Salda007: {{We'll debate the ethics and semantics of taking her help later. Let's just get the Sith out of here!}}
JonTheCat: Stars turn to starlines
JonTheCat: And you jump into hyperspace.
JonTheCat: For a moment it is very quiet.
JonTheCat: Then everyone starts taling at once.
crazytenor1: ((blah blah blah))
Celi Skywalker: I go to the cockpit
Celi Skywalker: and drag mudakka and stephanie
JonTheCat: Traffic jam in the cockpit!
Salda007: ((I thought we already were in the cockpit))
JonTheCat: Master Felakyru and Mace are in the cockpit
JonTheCat: With Master Felakyru's daughter sort of stuck next to them
JonTheCat: There's only really room for three there.
JonTheCat: There are two other rooms, also crammed full of Jedi.
Celi Skywalker: can we talk with our pilot alone for a moment, master?
JonTheCat: Fekk sort of refuses to let Celi out of his sight.
JonTheCat: Master Felakyru nods
JonTheCat: picks up her daughter very jently.
Salda007: *Mudakka also sort of refuses to let Celi out of Fekk's sight.*
Celi Skywalker: I will get help soon
Salda007: {{If by "soon" you mean "now", then yes, that's true}}
Celi Skywalker: *pulls her cloack on tighter*
Celi Skywalker: later
JonTheCat: There are quiet discussions in the other rooms
JonTheCat: And the door slides shut.
JonTheCat: It's just PCs in the cockpit.
JonTheCat: Talk away.
JonTheCat: I'm going to character-gen for a bit.
Celi Skywalker: *celi sits*
Flyx the Farghul: ((no macs, eh?))
Celi Skywalker: ?
Stampbook: so where should we go?
Salda007: {{Fine, make this quick, before you break in half.}}
Celi Skywalker: the capital
Stampbook: and talk to the president?
Celi Skywalker: *glares at mudakka*
Celi Skywalker: eventually
Celi Skywalker: first we need to figure out what we can tell him
Celi Skywalker: then I will rest, but not before
Stampbook: mudaka, i think celi got you point
Salda007: *ain't backing down on this one.*
Stampbook: and i dont think she is going to comply right now
Celi Skywalker: skywalkers are stubborn
Celi Skywalker: though you could probably force me to
Salda007: *sighs, then leans against the wall, finally realizing he's still holding his lightsaber, and clips it to his
belt.*
Stampbook: right now, i might even be able to force you
Salda007: {{Whatever...}}
Salda007: *chuckles*
Stampbook: *smiles)
Celi Skywalker: (to stephanie) shut up. mace, what do you know about your training with skywalker?
Stampbook: (to celi) you know i would never do that
crazytenor1: that's a rather vague question, then answer being, rather a lot, since i was there
Celi Skywalker: What types of powers he was teaching all of you and his motives
Celi Skywalker: you've told me some in the past
JonTheCat: [incidentally the flight to New Correllia is 12 hours]
crazytenor1: he taught us how to hide...
crazytenor1: be subtle
crazytenor1: a bit of tk...
crazytenor1: ...how to fight
Celi Skywalker: we just fought him
crazytenor1: uh-huh
crazytenor1: why?
Celi Skywalker: *celi looks down and pokes at a hole in her shirt*
Celi Skywalker: because he's a sith. He may not have realized it
Salda007: {{I'm pretty sure he did...}}
Celi Skywalker: but he was consumed by the desire for power and to destroy spiders
crazytenor1: Do you have any proof of this?
crazytenor1: destroying spiders doesn't seem so bad
Stampbook: *stephi nods at mudaka*
Stampbook: we ran into him and his old master
Celi Skywalker: not all spiders are bad, and it is wrong to condem their species for their nature
crazytenor1: his old master dies when he was younf
Celi Skywalker: you were there when we swapped dovenla for dustin to younharla
Celi Skywalker: his master is...was still a very tangible being
crazytenor1: uh-huh
Celi Skywalker: his spirit lived on
Celi Skywalker: until a few hours ago...I hope
JonTheCat: [fifteen minutes have passed, and stats have been updated accordinly]
Celi Skywalker: Anyway, I think Skywalker thought he was doing the right thing, though I can't be sure
Celi Skywalker: of that as his master wanted to destroy us so badly
Celi Skywalker: but he had very little training.
crazytenor1: Again, you'r accusing one of the greatest men in the galaxy of something you see as pretty horrible.
Where is your proof?
Salda007: {{I wish we had some...}}
Celi Skywalker: what kind of proof would you like?>
Celi Skywalker: his assasins rifle? *shows it*
crazytenor1: the sort that proves something
crazytenor1: ok, it's a rifle...
Celi Skywalker: a sniper's rifle
crazytenor1: I don't see his name on it...
Celi Skywalker: the fact that you can see through my hand?
Celi Skywalker: ok, that was his master's doing
Celi Skywalker: what he did to dovenla?
Celi Skywalker: there is no physical proof
crazytenor1: Had a feeling that would be the case
Celi Skywalker: only a lot of circumstnacial evidence, and the fact that he just fought us along side
Celi Skywalker: the spirit of his dead master, who was also a VERY poewrful sith lord
Celi Skywalker: I explained to you how the jedi were hiding before. light cancels dark in the force
Celi Skywalker: these jedi were using his master's death place to hide.
Celi Skywalker: so either this ship full of jedi is all dark or his master was
Celi Skywalker: if you can accept that his master was dark, then maybe I can convince you he was too
Salda007: {{'Scuse me for a second, I'm giong to go check on something...}}
Celi Skywalker: *nod*
Salda007: *steps into the back and squeezes his way over to Tweak.*
JonTheCat: Tweak: Boop?
Celi Skywalker: also, mace. you had realized after the noghri battle that you were dark yourself.
Celi Skywalker: where do you think you learned it from?
crazytenor1: If I'm dark, why did you get on this ship with me?
Salda007: *returns from the back.* {{Cuz you're our only ride out'a here...}}
Celi Skywalker: because you aren't entirely dark
Celi Skywalker: and because you've saved my life before
Celi Skywalker: i don't think any of skywalker's apprentices realized what they were doing and learning
Celi Skywalker: that ends justify the means
crazytenor1: the use of emotions doesn't have to be taught
Celi Skywalker: depends on which school you come from
Celi Skywalker: When we get to the capital we have to figure out what to tell the president and the rest
Celi Skywalker: of the apprentices
crazytenor1: I can be annoyed at you, without my master telling me how. I I was violent and immoral, I could
even power an attack with my annoyance without his telling me to
Salda007: ((Did we know about the attack on New Corellia before we entered hyperspace?))
Celi Skywalker: you had a lousy life
Celi Skywalker: makes it easier
crazytenor1: yes
Salda007: {{I don't think we should go direct to the capital.}}
Stampbook: ((we did, from skywalker)
Stampbook: )
Celi Skywalker: if you wan't to stop and can think of a safe place, that's fine
crazytenor1: I am not my master's clone. Nor is he his master's clone
Celi Skywalker: I learned from childhood. but i was raised a jedi
Celi Skywalker: no, you aren't
crazytenor1: I'm waaay cuter
Celi Skywalker: you are cute, but not that cute
Salda007: {{I just checked. We could go to Sloolin or Hasfundu without much extra time...
Celi Skywalker: cause i'm tired, and in pain and feel like I'm missing parts of me.
JonTheCat: [thirty more minutes have passed]
crazytenor1: If you're fighting my master, maybe I shouldn't be taking you anywhere
Celi Skywalker: then there are 20 of us, and we'll take the ship
JonTheCat: People are starting feel a little better
Celi Skywalker: we'll drop you at new correllia with the rest of them
Celi Skywalker: if that's what you want
crazytenor1: What I want, is for you to a)lighten up and b) stop trying to come between me and my master
Celi Skywalker: lighten up?
Stampbook: Mace, we are here with you because we just realized that your master was
dark. And we know that you can still choose to be light if you want.
Celi Skywalker: we need to know where our allies are
Celi Skywalker: our list is growing thin
Salda007: *can't help but chuckle at the "lighten up"*
Celi Skywalker: and the jedi are growing thin
JonTheCat: (( Dammit, you took my line! [GM pouts] ))
Stampbook: ((lol))
Celi Skywalker: but if you want me to lighten up, then I will go talk to master fekk and maybe i'll be a little
Celi Skywalker: more able to accomodate you
Stampbook: ill be back in a few minutes
Celi Skywalker: but i would like you to come with us. you are a valuable friend
Stampbook: *stephi leaves*
Celi Skywalker: ((is mudakka still in the room?))
crazytenor1: When I see my master, I will ask him about your accusations, but until you have something other
than your word to put before me, I think you should drop the issue
Celi Skywalker: if you can find him.
Celi Skywalker: i doubt he lived.
crazytenor1: I'm hardly gong to turn from my master on your word alone
crazytenor1: If he didn't live, then there's even less reason for this discussion
Celi Skywalker: *shrug* it is your choice.
crazytenor1: it's important that you realize this
crazytenor1: I'm happy to work with you, but you must realize where my loyalties are
Celi Skywalker: this cannot be put off since fodder will hit the fan as soon as we hit the capital
Celi Skywalker: if those are were your loyalites lie, then I am glad you told me now.
Celi Skywalker: I trusted skywalker with my life
Celi Skywalker: and he betrayed me
Celi Skywalker: but at least you are honest
Celi Skywalker: *stands up*
Celi Skywalker: Mudakka, can you give me a hand?
Salda007: *helps Celi up*
Celi Skywalker: thanks
Salda007: *If she allows, he ushers her back to Fekk*
crazytenor1: well, I think the issue was just made moot
Celi Skywalker: thank you for saving my life before mace.
JonTheCat: Daniel Mace pales
Salda007: ((testing, testing))
Celi Skywalker: are you all right?
crazytenor1: fine, except for the bastard messing with my mind
JonTheCat: Stephgi slips out of the cockpit
Celi Skywalker: huh?
crazytenor1: Didn't anyone ever tell you that going into someone's mind unasked is like rape?
Celi Skywalker: a guy after my own heart
Celi Skywalker: *celi smirks*
crazytenor1: :-P
Celi Skywalker: you know I hate mind magic
Celi Skywalker: I didn't go into your mind
crazytenor1: Well, I assume whoever's fishing in there is wondering the same thing you were
Celi Skywalker: you turned pale.
Celi Skywalker: I ran a physical check on you
Celi Skywalker: we're all in pretty bad shape
crazytenor1: ((Who else is in the room?))
Salda007: ((yo))
Celi Skywalker: my diagnose probably is what set you off <shrug>
crazytenor1: ~nods~
Celi Skywalker: ((unless stephanie is in the room))
Celi Skywalker: you all right?
Celi Skywalker: fekk can take a look at you first
JonTheCat: Fekk is not in the room
JonTheCat: Fekk is in back
Celi Skywalker: not yet anyway
JonTheCat: with Stephi, and the two Chiss
Salda007: *also looks concerned.*
Celi Skywalker: whatever you say.
Salda007: {{Celi, c'mon, let's get you patched up.}}
Celi Skywalker: yes sir
Celi Skywalker: *limps out of cockpit with mudakka's help*
Salda007: {{Paging Master Fekk, Paging Master Fekk...}}
JonTheCat: Stephi is there
JonTheCat: with teh two Chiss
JonTheCat: the ewoks are sort of under the seat fixing something
Celi Skywalker: mudakka what are we going to tell the president?
JonTheCat: Fekk: You done being stubborn? (winks at Celi)
Celi Skywalker: yes sir
Stampbook: *stephi chuckles*
Salda007: {{We'll tell him the truth}}
Celi Skywalker: for the moment anyway
Celi Skywalker: i'm too tire
JonTheCat: Fekk: Alright, sit down.
Celi Skywalker: d
Stampbook: *and smiles*
Celi Skywalker: *plop*
JonTheCat: (takes Celi aside and starts examining her)
Celi Skywalker: It hurts right down to my bones
Salda007: {{Which, if you look close enough, you can just about see...}}
Celi Skywalker: thank's mudakka
Celi Skywalker: do you want me to translate that?
Salda007: *shrugs, and winks at Celi*
Celi Skywalker: can you make sure we fly where we are supposed to go?
Celi Skywalker: keep an eye on mace
JonTheCat: Fekk: The blaster burns aren't too bad... those will heal in time.
JonTheCat: Fekk: What the hell happened to the rest of you though?
JonTheCat: Fekk: I've never seen injuries like this.
Celi Skywalker: its kinda hard to explain
JonTheCat: Fekk: And I've seen a -lot- of injuries.
Stampbook: ((GM check window)
Stampbook: )
Celi Skywalker: have you seen the shadowds stephanie makes?
JonTheCat: Master Felakyru and daughter leave the room
Salda007: {{Alright, Celi, can do. Stephi, stay out of Mace's head for the time being.}} *he winks at Stephi,
then heads back to the cockpit and plops down into the copilot's chair*
JonTheCat: (Fekk shakes his head)
Salda007: *Tweak rolls along into the cockpit as well, and Mudakka begins returning him to normal (IE, sans
concussion rifle)*
Celi Skywalker: ya know that big dark shadow you were hiding near?
JonTheCat: k
JonTheCat: Fekk: (shivers) yes.
Celi Skywalker: he could make shadows of himself when we were fighting him
JonTheCat: brb litterbox
Celi Skywalker: and when they walked through me, it felt like i started to fade, like I was becoming a shadow
myself.
JonTheCat: back
JonTheCat: Fekk: I want you to clear your mind for a moment.
JonTheCat: Fekk: Just think about how you feel...
Celi Skywalker: *closes eyes*
Salda007: ((can almost hear the "mental challenge!"))
JonTheCat: Fekk: Ghu... still can't quite get a grasp on it.
Celi Skywalker: hehehe
JonTheCat: Fekk: It's elusive.
JonTheCat: Fekk: And I hope it's not permanent. Let me do something for the burns at least.
Celi Skywalker: *nod*
JonTheCat: He lays his hands on Celi's arm and one of the blaster wounds starts to look better
immediately.
JonTheCat: "Close your eyes and relax now. You need sleep. Your friends will wake you if you can
help them."
Celi Skywalker: k, mudakka keep an eye on cerberus, will ya?
JonTheCat: Celi nods off.
Salda007: ((and she can help us by getting aaaaaaaaaaall better ^_^))
JonTheCat: then her breathing gets vereeeeeeery deep
JonTheCat: She is in a Jedi healing trance.
JonTheCat: Cool ya?
Salda007: *Mudakka is up front, tinkering around with Tweak*
Salda007: *Mudakka is also certain that Lioris will keep an eye on him.*
JonTheCat: Lioris is physically holding her mynoc away from Tweak's exposed circuits.
JonTheCat: She appears to be winning, for now.
Salda007: *Tweak is up front in the cockpit, with the door shut*
Celi Skywalker: zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
JonTheCat: k time is passing
JonTheCat: I'm just doing some roleplaying with Ben
Salda007: k
JonTheCat: Di'ku: So... about talking to the President...
JonTheCat: (Di'ku is the elfy looking fellow. Tall, silver hair, fair skin)
JonTheCat: (Di'ku looks young, talks old.)
Salda007: ((erhm, who's he talking to? Stephi's the only one back there...))
Celi Skywalker: ((and celi's the one that mentioned it))
Celi Skywalker: zzzz
JonTheCat: Uh... to Mace I guess, since he doesn't speak Shirywook
Salda007: ((Mace is also in the cockpit, I though ^_^))
JonTheCat: Then he followed
Salda007: ((Okay))
Salda007: *Looks up at Di'ku as he enters, and nods.* {{Hello}}
JonTheCat: Di'ku: I'm sorry, I can't speak Shirywook
JonTheCat: Di'ku: I know several other languages. Ironically, I haven't had the time...
Salda007: *shrugs, then reaches in and adjusts a few connections in Tweak, whose holoprojector fires up to
provide subtitles*
Salda007: "Hello!"
crazytenor1: hi
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Ah... interesting.
Salda007: ((*slices the language barrier into itty-bity pieces.*))
JonTheCat: Di'ku: That's... what are they called... a droid?
Celi Skywalker: ((hehe))
Salda007: {{Yes}} "Yes" *Tweak bleeps irritatedly,* "No, haven't you noticed that there haven't been other
droids around?"
Salda007: *Tweak gives a few short blats. Mudakka sighs, then rolls his eyes and re-buries himself in Tweak's
innards*
JonTheCat: Di'ku: I liked this place not having droids... but I suppose the times change.
JonTheCat: Di'ku (turns to tweak): Nothing personal of course.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: My people have fought two wars now against droids, barely surviving both.
Salda007: *Tweak gives a noncommittal bleep*
JonTheCat: Di'ku: It makes a fellow cautious.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: So... not to be a boor...
JonTheCat: But about telling the Perisdent...
Salda007: "I... canseehowthat..." *flickerflicker* "might cause some bad feelings about them."
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Maybe we shouldn't tell him the mission succeeded?
Salda007: "Hide all of you again, you mean?"
JonTheCat: (he nods)
JonTheCat: Di'ku: A few of my people landed on Locus Arrius. I could rejoin them very
unobtrusively.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Though I can't speak for the other Jedi.
Salda007: "Huh..."
Salda007: "Split the group up? I thought there were safety in numbers..."
JonTheCat: Di'ku: In a straight-on fight maybe.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: I've read the Yuuzhan Vong are fond of crushing planets when they have to.
Salda007: "So we've seen"
Salda007: "I don't know. Mace and his group could certainly benefit from your presence."
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Mace's group?
JonTheCat: (turns to Mace)
JonTheCat: Di'ku: What group is this?
Salda007: *is suddenly glad that Tweak is blocking either of the others from seeing the "whoops" expression on
his face.*
crazytenor1: What group are you referring to?
Salda007: *straightens up and gives Mace a "Don't play dumb" look.*
Salda007: "The New Corellian Knife Juggling Team, of course..."
Salda007: "Master Skywalker's apprentices, of course."
crazytenor1: then no, I don't think we need to go into hiding
crazytenor1: knife juggling is well accepted these days
Salda007: "Huh... guess written text doesn't convey sarcasm well..." *tinkertinker*
crazytenor1: *turns to Di'ku* well there's your answer. It's my master's aprprentices
JonTheCat: Di'ku: There are other Jedi out there?
JonTheCat: Door opens.
Salda007: "Err, Mace and the other apprentices are the only others we've found so far. Well, plus Celi,
Stephanie, and myself."
JonTheCat: Stephi and Master Felakyru are there.
JonTheCat: Di'ku thinks for a moment.
Stampbook: and dustin
Stampbook: dont forget him
Salda007: ((Dustin ain't with us))
JonTheCat: Di'ku: How many of you does that make...
JonTheCat: 12 of us here on Sirdiss
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Your four...
Stampbook: ((neither are skywalker's other apprentices))
JonTheCat: Di'ku: This Dustin... and how many more
Salda007: ((I know, we were only talking about them, not with them ^_~))
crazytenor1: My master had many apprentices
Stampbook: well, i do not know how many more will be friendly
Salda007: *shrugs.* "How many? We never actually got a total..."
Celi Skywalker: *celi comes into the cockpit a little drowsy*
Celi Skywalker: how far are we from riflia mudakka?
JonTheCat: Felakyru (cocks an eyebrow): Light sleeper?
Celi Skywalker: something like that
Salda007: *straightens up.* "Uhhh..." *Tweak burbles an answer.* "Four hours"
JonTheCat: The crowd spills out into the hallway
Celi Skywalker: I asked skywalker to send soemone to guard dustin, in case younharla
Celi Skywalker: came after him once the deal went sour
Celi Skywalker: he's in danger
Celi Skywalker: sorry stephanie, i guess we all make mistakes
Salda007: *sighs* "You didn't know any better. Thing is, we have a shipload of tired, injured Jedi that we
need to put somewhere, I'm not sure we can stop and pick up another..."
Celi Skywalker: especially an injured one
JonTheCat: [you think you could squeeze]
Celi Skywalker: Mace, can you change the nav comp please?
Salda007: ((I'm certain we could. I'm not sure we want to...))
crazytenor1: If we took on what's his face, we'd be inviting attack
Celi Skywalker: *looks at mudakka*
Salda007: ((how far are we from New Corellia?))
Stampbook: "its ok celi. mudaka is right. none of us knew any better. I just hope he is
alright."
JonTheCat: (( seven hours))
Celi Skywalker: why would we be inviting attack?
Salda007: ((and how far is it Riflia-New Corellia?))
crazytenor1: Dustin has his own enemies
Celi Skywalker: that are also our
Celi Skywalker: s
JonTheCat: Stopping by Rifflia adds an hour.
Celi Skywalker: i don't abandon anyone
Salda007: ((plus ground time))
Stampbook: do you think we can swing by and pick him up?
JonTheCat: Master Felakyru: This is the same Dustin you trade for Yun-Harla, correct?
Salda007: "Ehh, yeah, it's not that far out of the way, I suppose."
Salda007: "Yes"
Stampbook: yes
crazytenor1: Are we gong to sit on a fence and watch him fight a spider again?
crazytenor1: If so, we don't need ot pick him up for it
Celi Skywalker: he didn't fight a spider
Salda007: *Glares at Mace*
Stampbook: we got him from the spider
JonTheCat: Felakyru: Perhaps she's come to take him back.
JonTheCat: Felakyru: In which case, perhaps we're not in a condition to fight her for him?
Stampbook: i doubt it
JonTheCat: Felakyru: Better to wait until we're strong enough to win that fight.
Celi Skywalker: then give me a ship and i will go alone
PerrinGo1deneyes has entered the room.
Stampbook: i will join you celi
Flyx the Farghul has left the room.
Salda007: ((hey again, Matt))
Stampbook: i cant leave him there alone
PerrinGo1deneyes: ((issues with the other sn, fixing))
Flyx the Farghul has entered the room.
crazytenor1: Can you trust him?
Flyx the Farghul: ((little better))
Celi Skywalker: can we trust you?
PerrinGo1deneyes has left the room.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Where might we acquire an extra ship?
Celi Skywalker: we don't know who we can trust, we just have to hope
crazytenor1: little late to be asking that
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Because if we don't have one, it makes little point to discuss this until we land
somewhere.
Celi Skywalker: i trusted you this far, and you haven't given me enough reason not to
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Where are we going, anyway?
Celi Skywalker: right now, to the capital
Salda007: "New Corellia, still..."
Celi Skywalker: what planets are on the way?
JonTheCat: Master Felakyru: What do we hope to accomplish there?
Celi Skywalker: we need to deal with skywalker's apprentices
crazytenor1: deal with?
Salda007: "Figure of Basic."
Celi Skywalker: talk to them, and without a master, there is no telling what will happen
Celi Skywalker: if they will faction, or simply elect a new leader
Celi Skywalker: there are few enough jedi in the galaxy to lose so many
Salda007: "On the other hand, Master Felakyru's right. Last we heard, there was a Vong attack going on there.
We might want to swing by Riflia again..."
Stampbook: i would think we would need to be more rested before meeting with the other
apprentices than going to get dustin
Salda007: "In fact, I think we should..."
crazytenor1: true
Celi Skywalker: to riflia it is
Stampbook: we might even be able to find out what happened on new correlia while at riflia
Salda007: (untranslated) {{Not to be cynical, but I think it would be best if we used the base's facilities before
we announce that one of their most respected admirals was a Dark Jedi.}}
Celi Skywalker: true
Stampbook: ill third that
Celi Skywalker: mace, i can fly
JonTheCat: Di'ku: I'd rather not force the issue of whether or not we're in hiding.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: So perhaps we should put down someplace quiet like?
crazytenor1: I'm fine, thanks
JonTheCat: Di'ku: And the four of you go on and get us medical supplies.
Celi Skywalker: do you want to go into hiding?
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Opinions are... mixed.
Celi Skywalker: we're running out of dark jedi to hide you near
JonTheCat: Felakyru: A full meeting of the Jedi is called for, but this is hardly the place and time.
Salda007: "Well, I'm certain they wouldn't mind a ship of refugees from a Vong raid requesting medical aid."
Stampbook: he has a point
Celi Skywalker: as you said, we only have one ship, i don't feel comfortable leaving you all on a radom planet
Celi Skywalker: *i take out a datapad*
JonTheCat: Felakyru: I don't mean leaving us on a random planet... I mean us hiding inside the
ship.
JonTheCat: Felakyru: So long as nobody goes aboard, the Twins should be able to shelter us from
sensors.
Stampbook: we may be able to do that
Celi Skywalker: so you can stay on board the ship while we go get dustin?
JonTheCat: Chi-su: Almost done with that!
JonTheCat: (Chi-su is one of the Ewoks)
Celi Skywalker: mace, drop us out of hyperspace please
Salda007: "Some of us" *glances at Celi* "Need medical healing. Unless Master Fekk has helped everyone..."
Celi Skywalker: i'm feeling much better
JonTheCat: He's been around, but most people are going to require bacta time.
JonTheCat: Of course, taht might not be the safest idea in the galaxy.
Celi Skywalker: bacta has a bad rap
Salda007: ((it does?))
Celi Skywalker: that was supposed to be out of character
Salda007: ((ahh))
Flyx the Farghul: (( �_o ))
Celi Skywalker: there is bacta at riflia but i don't want to stay there too long
JonTheCat: Felakyru: I need sleep badly. I leave the strategizing in your capable hands, Di'ku:
JonTheCat: Diku: Sure thing
JonTheCat: Di'ku: So... about the President.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Not to harp on a theme or anything.
Stampbook: what about the president?
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Celi mentioned telling him about us earlier.
Salda007: *shrugs* "I don't know what to tell him..."
JonTheCat: Di'ku: I'm not convinced that would be a good idea.
Celi Skywalker: i wasn't referring to you
Stampbook: i think she probably is worried about telling him about skywalker
Salda007: "Why not, Dii'koo?" *fzzt* "Di'ku?"
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Well... it's a good publicity thing to have rescued Jedi. Bad publicity not to.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: And everyone knows about the attack on Sirdiss. That sort of thing doesn't go
unnoticed.
Stampbook: true
Celi Skywalker: I was referring to Skywalker though
JonTheCat: Di'ku: So... logically... as soon as we tell him, he tells the world that hispeople helped
save the Jedi despite staggering odds.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: What about Skywalker?
Celi Skywalker: he's the president's aid, and is a jedi
JonTheCat: Di'ku: You're Skywalker, right?
JonTheCat: (to Celi)
Celi Skywalker: i am *nods*
Celi Skywalker: i meant admiral skywalker
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Ah, another one. Good.
Celi Skywalker: barely related
JonTheCat: Di'ku: We appear to be more numerous than I thought.
Salda007: "We?"
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Jedi.
Salda007: "Oh"
Celi Skywalker: the president didn't know he was a jedi
JonTheCat: Di'ku: So we're still in hiding then, I take it?
JonTheCat: Di'ku: What about you four?
Celi Skywalker: we aren't from around herer
JonTheCat: (cocks an eyebrow)
Stampbook: we came to rescue my friend and to try and find out what happened to you all
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Well...
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Some of us were hiding.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: A nd some were eaten by spiders.
Celi Skywalker: from what?
JonTheCat: Di'ku: And some killed by Yuuzhan Vong, and some by vounty hutners.
Celi Skywalker: mace, can you drop out of hyperspace please?
JonTheCat: Di'ku: From all the things that suddenly decided to kill us. And effectively.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: It was very curious.
crazytenor1: *dropping*
Celi Skywalker: have you been safe in hiding?
JonTheCat: Di'ku: I've had a long time to think about it strategically...
Celi Skywalker: take us to riflia.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Mostly.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: A few Spider Demon incursions, especially after the Weaver died.
JonTheCat: We tried to use them as a security system. Bad idea.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Anyway, the only conclusion I can have, is that there's something bigger at work.
JonTheCat: Diku: Something more sinister than the normal forces just ganging up on us and bad
timing.
Salda007: (("Well, duh, it's an RPG!"))
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Jedi have faced all of these threats before, but never fallen like this.
Celi Skywalker: ((hehe))
Flyx the Farghul: ((snrk))
JonTheCat: Di'ku: But I'll be damned if I know what... infiltrators? But onyl spiders could do that,
and we haven't caught any.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: A dark Jedi somewhere?
JonTheCat: Di'ku: I don't know.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: In anycase, all the Jedi who stayed out to investigate ended up dead, and
quickly.
Celi Skywalker: would the dark jedi want to destroy the light jedi?
JonTheCat: Di'ku: I'm not sure how many are still in hiding.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Isn't that the usual?
Celi Skywalker: it seems that the spiders are a more important threat
JonTheCat: Di'ku: To us, sure. But to Dark Jedi? I mean, whoever's doing this is -using- spider
demons, no doubt about that.
JonTheCat: Even the Midichlorian Project...
Celi Skywalker: but it also seems that by staying in hiding, your numbers are just going to dwindle,
Celi Skywalker: and you will be no nearer to being free
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Several Jedi killed by psiders there.
Stampbook: but maybe if we can gather a few of the "good" spiders and convince them to
help us...
crazytenor1: 'good'...
Celi Skywalker: the mitochlorian project went very sour
Celi Skywalker: but that is another long story
JonTheCat: Di'ku: I know. I gkeep telling the others that.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: They are afraid.
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Good spiders?
Celi Skywalker: the jedi on the team purposely got the rest of the team killed
Stampbook: i use the term loosely.
Salda007: "Well, not alla re as bad as the others"
JonTheCat: Di'ku: I don't mean to offend, but good spidersare like good fruit.
Celi Skywalker: to continue his research
JonTheCat: Di'ku: They stay that way for about two weeks.
Salda007: "Then go bad"
JonTheCat: Di'ku: Longer with refrigeration.
Stampbook: there are some who have stopped feeding
Celi Skywalker: we ruined one of the good ones
Stampbook: and successfully for many years
Salda007: *chuckles at the thought of a spider in a freezer*
Celi Skywalker: *glares*
JonTheCat: The com beeps
Celi Skywalker: another has kept herself fed on six
JonTheCat: Since you're out of hyperspace.
JonTheCat: "Urgent Com to Daniel Mace..."
Celi Skywalker: mace?
crazytenor1: yeah
Salda007: "You going to get that?"
crazytenor1: please leave
crazytenor1: I pick it up
crazytenor1: Mace here
JonTheCat: It's one of your friends...
JonTheCat: Let me look up the name...
crazytenor1: Can you all please leave for for a minute?
JonTheCat: It's Trent
JonTheCat: "Dan, it's Trent. Where are you?"
crazytenor1: near nothing inparticular
crazytenor1: What's going on?
JonTheCat: "I'm not sure. I just got to Rifflia and things are bad here."
JonTheCat: "Bad on the capital too."
JonTheCat: "And... well, you felt what else."
crazytenor1: yea
crazytenor1: I felt it
crazytenor1: what do you mean by bad
crazytenor1: I'm hearing some crazy stuff
Salda007: *perks up and looks at Mace at mention of "Rifflia"*
JonTheCat: "Yuuzhan Vong fleet hit the capital. It was a hit-and-fade. I don't know the damage yet."
JonTheCat: "I think they hit our current rat-hole though."
Stampbook: *stephi is listening closely*
JonTheCat: "I hope everyone got out before they arrived."
JonTheCat: (Di'ku has left incidentally)
JonTheCat: "Anyway..."
JonTheCat: "I got hear and there's a bunch of really confused people."
JonTheCat: "Asked them about a Jedi I was sent to protect."
crazytenor1: Where is here? Where are you?
JonTheCat: "They didn't know what I was talking about."
crazytenor1: whom?
JonTheCat: "I'm on Rifflia."
JonTheCat: "The name was... (sounds of papers rustling) Dustin. Don't have a last name."
JonTheCat: "I found a bacta tank and some lightssaber scoring."
Salda007: {{Oh, no...}}
JonTheCat: "Looks like there was a fight"
crazytenor1: and he's gone?
Stampbook: *stephi looks veyr uneasy*
JonTheCat: "It's like he was never here. Nobody's even heard of him."
Salda007: {{Not again...}}
Salda007: "We're going there. Now..."
crazytenor1: well, change of plans, I guess
crazytenor1: Trent, we're heading there now. We'll pick you up
JonTheCat: "Okay, I'll hold here. How much backup do you have? Just in case, I mean?
Salda007: "Just the four of us"
crazytenor1: "who is 'us'"?
Salda007: ((that was wookiee and subtitling))
JonTheCat: (understood)
Salda007: ((whoops, nm))
crazytenor1: ((confused))
crazytenor1: some backup
Salda007: *points to himself, Celi, Steph, and Mace*
crazytenor1: not ready for a big fight
Stampbook: *stephi looks pretty bad.*
crazytenor1: 4 of us
JonTheCat: Trent: Okay, it's pretty quiet here now.
crazytenor1: in bad shape
Salda007: ((hell, we all look pretty bad))
Stampbook: ((bad, like with regard to what she just heard))
Celi Skywalker: *celi puts an arm around stephie*
Celi Skywalker: we keep going.
Stampbook: *stephi hugs celi and starts crying on her shoulder
Stampbook: *
JonTheCat: Shall we fast forward to arrival on planet?
Celi Skywalker: *hands mudakka a datapad* can you transmit this for me before we jump again?
Stampbook: "what could they have done to him?"
Celi Skywalker: i'll tell you about it later
Salda007: *raises an eyebrow, then shrugs and plugs it in, then sends it*
Celi Skywalker: thanks *takes stephanie out of the room*
Celi Skywalker: we can fast forward
JonTheCat: Anybody sleeping until you get there?
JonTheCat: It's another 3 hours...
Salda007: I probably crash for a bit, curled up in the copilot's seat*
JonTheCat: kay
JonTheCat: Most of the rescued Jedi are sleeping, including one of the ewoks.
Salda007: and the other is buried up to its eyebrows in an access panel, right?
Celi Skywalker: *celi's comforting stephie in the back*
JonTheCat: Nod
JonTheCat: He gets up and starts pacing.
JonTheCat: She rather
JonTheCat: I think they're female (looks it up)
JonTheCat: ya
JonTheCat: Sha-ta
JonTheCat: Okay, you arrive.
JonTheCat: Without further ado.
JonTheCat: Rifflia has two major structures.
JonTheCat: A military base and a big factory complex.
JonTheCat: You land at the military base.
JonTheCat: The rescued Jedi lie very still, and the two ewoks are working the equipment furiously.
Celi Skywalker: let's go, i'll take point as usual
Celi Skywalker: quickly in and out
Salda007: ((do you still look like a walking ghost?))
Celi Skywalker: i'm getting better!
JonTheCat: ((she's still transparent but the blaster burns are much better)
Stampbook: where should i stand
Salda007: {{Uhh, I think Mace'd better take point, actually...}}
Celi Skywalker: might want to comm your friend mace
Stampbook: i do not know if i am up to a confrontation
Celi Skywalker: either you or me
Celi Skywalker: we have lightsabers
Celi Skywalker: and know how to use them
crazytenor1: well, we're not here to fight
crazytenor1: I comm Trent
Celi Skywalker: we aren't but someone was
Celi Skywalker: i'm not taking any chances
JonTheCat: "Trent here. You guys landed?"
crazytenor1: landed
crazytenor1: at the military base
JonTheCat: "I found something."
crazytenor1: what?!
JonTheCat: "Message hidden up inside the walls."
crazytenor1: What's it say?
JonTheCat: "But it's in some kinda code. Get a looksee."
Celi Skywalker: where are you? we'll come mee t you
Salda007: *I'm sticking close enough to Celi to make Stephi's shadows jealous*
JonTheCat: "Same room as the bacta tank with the lightsaber burns"
Celi Skywalker: let's go
Stampbook: im coming
JonTheCat: The military base is built all out of camo stuff.
crazytenor1: so, who's taking point?
JonTheCat: Nobody seems to question you guys.
Celi Skywalker: me
crazytenor1: good
JonTheCat: But there's a lot of activity.
Celi Skywalker: *glares at the wookie*
Stampbook: ill follow celi
JonTheCat: A few people recognize Mace- he's often stopped here in his military comings and
goings
JonTheCat: It's a nicely located base
JonTheCat: and fairly secret.
JonTheCat: You quickly get to the room w/ the bacta tank.
Salda007: *puts a hand on Celi's shoulder, points to Mace, then himself, then Celi, then Steph*
JonTheCat: Trent's waiting. He's got a data pad and he's plugging away with a certain look of
frustration.
Salda007: ((wahtever))
crazytenor1: Trent, what've you found?
Salda007: *Walks over to the bacta tank and examines it*
Celi Skywalker: mudakka, can you check the tank?
JonTheCat: [he sort of shrugs[
Celi Skywalker: can i take a look?
JonTheCat: hands it over to Mace
JonTheCat: It's in weird crazy looking symbols you've never seen before.
Salda007: *glances at the tank, then jogs over to the others and looks over Mace's shoulder at the datapad*
JonTheCat: Tank has been sliced on one side by a lightsaber.
crazytenor1: this mean anythng to anybody?
Celi Skywalker: what kind of symbols?
JonTheCat: It then cracked and broke off on the other side.
JonTheCat: Celi's eyes light up.,
Salda007: ((sliced through where the person would be?))
Celi Skywalker: i can read it
Salda007: O_o
Salda007: ((Jedi writing?))
Stampbook: what does iot say?
Stampbook: spider?
Celi Skywalker: its the same as my tatoo
Salda007: *jogs back over to the Bacta tank and places a hand on it, then closes his eyes.*
Celi Skywalker: but younharla was here
Celi Skywalker: what it says?
crazytenor1: explaining how you know he's safe
Salda007: ((Yun Harrla))
Celi Skywalker: well, either he's safe or she ate him and was able to write this using his mind
Celi Skywalker: but its jedi symbol from the old galaxy
Salda007: {{Oh, that's comforting}}
Celi Skywalker: i just say the trust
Celi Skywalker: it says: a bad person came, but she's out of commision
Stampbook: he has to be alright
Celi Skywalker: i'm in hiding, will catch you in a month
Celi Skywalker: and i have her saber
crazytenor1: wonder what 'out of commision' means
Celi Skywalker: she can't be dead
Celi Skywalker: otherwise we wouldn't be able to stand here
Stampbook: no, the base is still here
Celi Skywalker: spider death explosions are big
Stampbook: maybe this would be a good time for me to try a call
Celi Skywalker: not now
Stampbook: what do you think celi?
Celi Skywalker: if she's close
Stampbook: true
Celi Skywalker: then she may endanger the jedi we have
Celi Skywalker: once we are on the ship, you can call just before we jump
Celi Skywalker: once mudakka's done examining the bacta tank we should go
Stampbook: good idea
Celi Skywalker: i think you would've felt it though if she had eaten gim
Stampbook: i would like to think so
Stampbook: ((oh GM))
Salda007: ((he's doing something, hang on))
Stampbook: oh, ok
Stampbook: (())
Celi Skywalker: you done mudakka? let's go
Flyx the Farghul: ((these spider things explode when they die?))
Celi Skywalker: yup
Salda007: ((oh yah. Like the Emperor))
Flyx the Farghul: (( >) ))
JonTheCat: (( gm's all set))
Salda007: ((one of them took out a planet's moon when he died))
Flyx the Farghul: /me (( likes things that go boom))
Salda007: *blinks, then takes his hand off the bacta tank.*
Celi Skywalker: let's go
Stampbook: see anything mudaka?
Celi Skywalker: when we get on the ship
Salda007: {{It was Yun Harrla. She tried to kill him.}}
Celi Skywalker: let's go
Celi Skywalker: now
Stampbook: i dont see her here
Celi Skywalker: celi starts to go
Salda007: ((eeeep!!!))
Celi Skywalker: i have a bad feeling
Salda007: ((beats lasts statement with stick of retcon))
crazytenor1: damnit
Salda007: {{It was Yun Harrla. I think she was trying to kidnap him...}}
Salda007: *follows Celi out.*
crazytenor1: Can we get out of here?
crazytenor1: leaves
crazytenor1: **
JonTheCat: Trent: Good call (follows)_
JonTheCat: Trent: Where to now?
Celi Skywalker: we'll figure that out on the ship
Celi Skywalker: probably new corellia
Salda007: *shrugs* {{I just follow her}} *points to Celi*
Celi Skywalker: *smirks*
JonTheCat: Kay you get to the ship
JonTheCat: 'cept for Stephi swho seems to be lagging...
Stampbook: im coming
JonTheCat: The ramp opens
JonTheCat: there's an ewok at the top, who looks a little panicked.
Salda007: ((is trent following us?))
Celi Skywalker: what happened?
JonTheCat: Trent (laconically): Interesting choice of pilots...
crazytenor1: come on, dude
JonTheCat: Ewok: (long string of ewok words none of you understand)
Celi Skywalker: is there anyone else?
JonTheCat: Ewok looks even more frantic.
Salda007: *shrugs and runs up the ramp past the Ewok, looking around.*
JonTheCat: Okay, everyone's lying low and being quiet
Salda007: *hand drops to saber.*
Celi Skywalker: whispers: what?
JonTheCat: Di'ku (in a nice ambush spot): I -thought- we were keeping us a secret?!
crazytenor1: Someone tell us what's gong on
crazytenor1: guess not
Salda007: ((Wait a sec, can we back up))
JonTheCat: Di'ku: You first. Who's that outside.
Celi Skywalker: do we still have six?
JonTheCat: yes you do.
Celi Skywalker: trent, mind if we do a quick test on you?
JonTheCat: Trent: What kind of test?
crazytenor1: what sort of test?
Celi Skywalker: you both should recognize it
JonTheCat: (hand hovers near blaster nervously, exchanges glance iwth Mace)
Salda007: ((I'm sorry... Trent follows us out, hatch opens, ewok standing at the top of the ramp?))
JonTheCat: ((correct))
crazytenor1: what test? For Spider demons? Trent is not a spider!
Celi Skywalker: the trent you know isn't
Salda007: *comes back down the ramp and stands at the bottom. He will prevent Trent from boarding the ship
if at all possible*
Celi Skywalker: but we have to be sure
JonTheCat: k
Celi Skywalker: its harmless
Celi Skywalker: skywalker did them all the time
JonTheCat: Ewok finally starts speaking basic: Is this Dustin?!
Celi Skywalker: no, dustin was scared off
crazytenor1: *nods to Trent*
Salda007: *shakes his head "No"*
JonTheCat: Trent: That test is a closely guarded secret. How do you know about it?
Celi Skywalker: this is another jedi hopefully
Celi Skywalker: we went through it
JonTheCat: Ewok (looks at Trent curiously): Dime a dozen.
JonTheCat: Ewok: Test?
Celi Skywalker: don't worry about it
Celi Skywalker: trent?
Salda007: *waves the Ewok back into the ship irritatedly*
JonTheCat: Ewok refuses to leave.
Celi Skywalker: *i go to bottom of ramp
JonTheCat: Trent: Okay.
Salda007: ((of course not))
Celi Skywalker: anyone got a lighter?
JonTheCat: (rolls up sleeve)
JonTheCat: (Trent pulls one out)
Celi Skywalker: thanks
Salda007: ((Well, we have Master Sut))
Celi Skywalker: you want to do it yourself?
JonTheCat: Trent: I wouldn't know how.
Celi Skywalker: you must've seen it done
JonTheCat: Trent: I'm not giving up any secrets, put it that way.
Celi Skywalker: *I take the lighter
JonTheCat: Trent: You siad you know how the test works, then be my guest. If not, lets get the hell
out of here and warn the others.
JonTheCat: k
Celi Skywalker: and heat up the six till it melts
crazytenor1: I'd very much like to get the hell out of here
Celi Skywalker: i do too, but i need to be sure, with the cargo we're carrying
crazytenor1: just be as quick as you can
Celi Skywalker: then i inject it into trent's forarm
JonTheCat: Okay
Celi Skywalker: stephanie?
JonTheCat: He grits his teeth
Salda007: {{Tell him why don't you...}}
Stampbook: yes?
JonTheCat: stares Celi in the eye.
Celi Skywalker: you are the radar
JonTheCat: Waits for her to pull it out.
Celi Skywalker: take it out when its done
Celi Skywalker: *empty
JonTheCat: kay
Stampbook: he is human
Stampbook: i am pretty sure
crazytenor1: now let's go
Salda007: (("Mind challenge!"))
Celi Skywalker: thank you trnt
JonTheCat: Trent: Glad to hear it. Next time gentler with the needle.
Salda007: {{He's not coming with us}}
JonTheCat: (heads for the ramp)
Celi Skywalker: sorry, let's go and welcome aboard
Celi Skywalker: what?
Celi Skywalker: wait
Celi Skywalker: why not?
Salda007: {{Or are we telling everyone about them?}}
Celi Skywalker: about whom?
Celi Skywalker: *gives mace a warning glance*
Salda007: *gives Celi a "You know who" look and motions back up the ramp*
JonTheCat: Trent: The company you keep, Dan...
Celi Skywalker: paranoia is contagious
Celi Skywalker: i'm afraid
Celi Skywalker: :-)
crazytenor1: the master's orders...
JonTheCat: Trent: True that.
Celi Skywalker: he was sent to be our pilot
Stampbook: and he has done quite a good job so far
crazytenor1: true that :-P
Celi Skywalker: we already told him we would give him a ride over the comm <shrug> do you want to leave
gim here?
JonTheCat: The ewok taps Mudakka
Celi Skywalker: we need to go
JonTheCat: whispers "Comm signal from New Correllia"
Salda007: *turns to the Ewok, nods.*
JonTheCat: (has to hop to do this)
crazytenor1: ((who whispers that?))
JonTheCat: the ewok does
crazytenor1: Trent, do you have a ship?
Salda007: *bends down to let he Ewok whisper to him*
JonTheCat: Trent: Military issue.
Celi Skywalker: our ship is awfully crowded though, mudakka is right
JonTheCat: Trent cocks and eyebrow.
JonTheCat: Trent: Looks spacious enough...
Salda007: *sighs* {{Comm signal from New Corellia, and tell the whole galaxy why don't you}}
Celi Skywalker: I suppose i have to take the comm message?
Salda007: *shrugs and looks at the Ewok.* {{dunno, but I can't}}
crazytenor1: Trent, there's something they don't want you to know. Hopefully this will all be cleared up
soon, but maybe it would be best if you travelled spereately. We could meet up at the capital
JonTheCat: Ewok shrugs: Hell, I can't.
Celi Skywalker: can you sort this out? I'm obviously not doing a very good job
Celi Skywalker: i go to the cockpit
JonTheCat: Ewok: Can't reach the microphone (he lies to Trent)
Salda007: ((No help like short help ^_^))
Stampbook: ((lol))
Flyx the Farghul: ((hehe))
Celi Skywalker: *comes back
Celi Skywalker: ((short help is better than no help at all))
Celi Skywalker: can you meet us at the capital, trent?
Celi Skywalker: maybe we can explain then
JonTheCat: Trent: Sure...
Celi Skywalker: thank you for understanding
JonTheCat: Dan, wanna ride with me?
JonTheCat: Trent: Relieve the... crowding?
crazytenor1: Can you get by ithout me guys?
Celi Skywalker: sure
Celi Skywalker: i can fly most ships
crazytenor1: Then I'll go with Trent
Stampbook: *stephi pulls celi aside*
Celi Skywalker: see you at new correlia
Stampbook: are you sure we should leave him alone?
Celi Skywalker: and mace, please keep it quiet until we get there
JonTheCat: The ewok looks dubious.
Salda007: {{Stephi, loan him your comlink; it has our encryption codes on it.}}
Stampbook: ok
JonTheCat: but heads incide.
Celi Skywalker: if you need to get a hold of us, here's a comm link
crazytenor1: ok
crazytenor1: see you there
JonTheCat: Okay.
JonTheCat: End of session, unless anyone has any burning concerns
Flyx the Farghul: cool
JonTheCat: Kay
Celi Skywalker: celi is sooooo paranoid now
JonTheCat: I will contact people about any level-ups or inter-sessions.
Salda007: hey Matt, Jason
JonTheCat: We'll start with your arrival.
Celi Skywalker: welcome all
JonTheCat: And I will char-gen Flyx.
Flyx the Farghul: yay!!
Salda007: wheee...
Stampbook: and stephi feels much better about celi now
Salda007: this oughta be good...
Stampbook: :-P
Celi Skywalker: celi would've chewed you out more for the shdows
JonTheCat: Flyx will appear hopefully in the middle of next session.
Celi Skywalker: had she had more energy
Stampbook: i know
Stampbook: but the way things turned out she had to comfort her intead
JonTheCat: Can someone save the main transcript for me and e-mail it to me? (html form plz)
Celi Skywalker: celi still looks like she lost half her hitpoints to shadows....which she did
Stampbook: which made stephi regain her trust in celi
Celi Skywalker: what?
Celi Skywalker: losing all her hp?
Stampbook: no
Stampbook: the comforting
crazytenor1: ah
Stampbook: the HP stephi still feels bad abuot
Celi Skywalker: why didn't she trust celi?
Stampbook: she did, just didnt know if celi trusted her
Stampbook: and now she is more confident
Stampbook: whether or not that ios ratioinal
Stampbook: whether or not that is rational
Stampbook: O:-)
Celi Skywalker: hehe
Celi Skywalker: oh, in game, when we get to the cockpit, celi tells you all about the comm message
