Cantina Part 10: The Dawning - Page 2

**Redwing** · 05-18-2003, 12:19 AM

((OOS: Scar, three things:

A) "The fools" are all at the very top of the tower. Thus Irvine is somewhere off in outer space.

B) Kvana is nowhere near the tower. What made you think he was?

C) Irvine cannot blend in with magic. It's impossible.

edit: also, your Ulna Shardes post makes no sense, as there's no way your characters could have found Farran's place))

Rwos: In a word - yes. *to Kalidor* Yes, he is the Starkiller. Who are you?

Starr: Cracken...where's Alys?

Admiral · 05-18-2003, 02:36 AM

Asgard: Valhalla

*The three Drakes finally arrive and land at the base of the palaces stairs. Odin steps foward.*

Odin: It is with indescribable joy that I welcome the Drakes back to Asgard and the rest of our worlds.

I have long anticipated the day when those who guarded the Aesir when when we were young would return.

Lead Drake: Odin, the Allfather of the Aesir. You welcome warms my heart. We to have look forward to the day when we would come home. It only gladdens us further to see how you have prospered. With our return so returns the Futhark. In a couple of days the Futhark will be fully restored.

Now Odin, Allfather of the Aesir, do you still claim to be only 4 milinia old?

Odin: Out of habit. Although I now say over 4 thousand years old.

*The lead drake lets out a booming laugh*

Lead Drake: Does anyone know your true age?

*Odin simles and give a slight shrugg*

Odin: As you bring the Furthark back so do we bring the Order of Aktosh back. It will be fully restored in a couple of days as well.

Captain Wilson · 05-18-2003, 08:50 AM

*Runs at deac, sobbing*
Kaildor: "why?? why did it work for you?? you were only supposed to be a prototype. It was me it should of worked for, why didnt it?? What went wrong for gods sake, TELL ME!!!"
*Begins to pound deacs cheast*
Kaildor: "tell me!!"
Falls into a ball sobbing
Kaildor: They let you keep your mind... but not..mine"

Kuuki · 05-18-2003, 12:07 PM

*Ulna Shardes*

Man: "Farran! It's rather obvious that you'd be here seeing is that your lacky didn't do a good job making a consealed route to here..."

((that better?))

------------------

*RH Irvine pulls Kaldor off from Deac.*

RH Irvine: "Easy there big guy." *suddenly relises the cyborgnetics in Kaldor.* 'What the hell? well, this guy seems a little off his rocker.'

Deac · 05-18-2003, 01:40 PM

*Deac takes the blade and turns to Kalidor*

Deac: I don't understand...you are a cyborg...why didn't it work for you? And what do I have to do with it?

jokemaster · 05-18-2003, 03:00 PM

Spook: I told you, I'm a merchant, I'm on vacation and I got lost, My hyperdrived suddenly dropped me in the middle of, according to my charts, nowhere.

BattleDog · 05-18-2003, 03:39 PM

((Sorry about the absense, just left school, freaked out girl I'm in love with and had a mental breakdone))

*Flax falls the first 500m, by then Kvana has dissapeared and Flax exercises his powers to grab hold of the side the the tower, he draws his body to it and then ataches a grapple.*

Flax: I'm getting far too old for this!

*Hal sees the sun turn black, he curses.*

Hal: Well thats it. *Pulls out Comlink.* This is Colonel Flax, withdraw, blockade and burn. Code: 12-D-T-33.

*All around the planet sirens blare and service personnal prepare to leave the forsaken capital.*

Kuuki · 05-18-2003, 03:47 PM

Woman: *to Spook* "You see that is the problem with your story. I can sense some falsity to that answer." *waves hand* "Now, then, why are you here?"

**Redwing** · 05-18-2003, 07:15 PM

((OOS: Scar, what woman? Where did your last post take place?

BD: Meep o.O

Evacuate the planet? Why? Would the NR really leave billions of innocent civilians at the mercy of vampires? Because there's no sunlight?

Also note the sun isn't entirely black. Like a solar eclipse, there's still some light.))

Ulna Shardes

*At the 'doors' to Farran's sanctuary, nothing moved. The man was answered with nothing but silence*

Coruscant

Rwos: We have to leave. We need to find Kvana and the spellbooks, and destroy them.

*Rwos picks up his buzzing comlink*

Rwos: I'm sorry, but I'm a little...Blake?

Captain Wilson · 05-18-2003, 07:35 PM

Kaildor: (*still sobing*) You still have a life, a purpose, why dont i?? i lost it with the change. Wy dont People shun you, like they do me, WHY??(in a small voice)Help me...why didnt it work.."

**Cmdr. Cracken** · 05-19-2003, 02:42 AM

*Cracken looks at Starr. Why would he be inquiring about his dau... then it dawned on him. Ah... well, i never expected that happening.... Cracken turned to Starr*

I don't know, but i do believe she's safe. however... *he turns to Rwos* i think he can help locate her.

((OOS: Battle Dog, 2/3 of the Imperial Fleet is in orbit awaiting your go to start evacuating the civilian population))

**Redwing** · 05-19-2003, 09:39 AM

((OOS: Ummmm....whu? o.O Reality check is in order...

How is the entire population of Coruscant realistically going to evacuated?

Where are the NR/Imperials planning to put the entire population of Coruscant?

What gives the NR the right to drag everyone off planet because the whole planet is in a state of nightfall?

Why would the NR evacuate...after all, Flax may have given up but is it realistic for all the other people in the NR to give up because he did? Why is he giving up anyway? So the sun's blocked out...can NR forces not operate at night? *Baffled*

edit: Not to mention that getting everyone off-planet will throw plenty of vampires into the mix. Now the Jedi can't sense Kvana's type, and while they can sense the effects of the dark power of the other type, Kvana drained most of the vampires of it when he blocked out the sun. Just FYI.

edit edit: Hehe. I'm saying "reality check" in an RPG where my character just magically blocked out the sun. Oh, shut up

))

jokemaster · 05-19-2003, 10:03 AM

A jedi? better make this one count
Spook: THat's the truth, you can check the ships logs, they'll support my story.

Deac · 05-19-2003, 04:34 PM

Deac: Come on then..we'll get moving

*Deac places a hand on Kalidor's shoulder*

Deac: I remember...you were at the clinic the same time I was? Didn't they tell you? These things still have a low probability of error. I'm sorry. I guess I got lucky. And people respect me because I make them. I'm a victim of syntheitcs, but I make them respect me! Because if I won't, who will!

BattleDog · 05-19-2003, 07:50 PM

*At this point Flax climbs to the top of the tower and walks in on the group.*

*Sees Cracken.*

Flax: You took your time didn't you? *smiles.* Look, I have a situation, we need to get as much of the Civilian population off as possible. However every human will have be checked to make sure they are what they appear to be. Oh, and welcome back.

*Turns to the group.*

We had a contingency plan, the military is already evacuating. We're going to leave as little as possible for the Vampires to live off. When they weaken we finish the job.*

Kuuki · 05-19-2003, 08:30 PM

RH Irvine: "I have to ask something. How the hell are you going to fit even half the population of Coruscant onto an entire Imperial Fleet? Are we forgetting that this planet is techically nicknamed an 'Abysial City Planet', along with Nar Shadda, and a few other planets."

**Redwing** · 05-19-2003, 09:38 PM

((OOS: You don't have to be human to be a vampire, BD))

Rwos: You're going to what?

Gilian: I don't think you understand this situation. Firstly, in all likelihood many vampires have already gotten off this planet and are on their way to other worlds. Especially with the magic they have. Secondly, if you leave they'll leave too. The only thing that needs to stay on this planet is the center of power that is creating the phenomenon blocking out the sun. With a mage like the one they have, getting past your "security" would be child's play. Thirdly, the spell that's blocking out your sun is spreading. Soon more suns are going to go out...we need to stop it now, while it's still small.

Rwos: We're wasting time here. We can be sure Kvana will stay on this planet for a while, at least. We need to find him while we can. *Rwos steps into the window* Coming?

jokemaster · 05-19-2003, 11:38 PM

*Greer stepped out of the shadows and into the view of the group.*
Greer: There is one way to evacuate most of the planet, all that is needed is enogh ships. Most of the population, however will have to be lied to. Some people, unfortunately want to see vampires, they do not however, want a first hand expirience of bombs and other things, which makes lying to them easier.

Kuuki · 05-19-2003, 11:40 PM

RH Irvine: "I'm game." 'Holy crap. I just noticed, I'm the youngest one in this room...'

-----

*A few levels below, Fused Irvine walks to a stairway. Then a strange voice contacts him, seemingly from nowhere.*

Voice: *Sounding like two Irvines talking.* "Where are you going?"

Fused Irvine: "What does I look like, I'm going to fool around with them."

Voice: "Is that all?"

Fused Irvine: "Maybe."

Voice: "Yes, we'd like you to find out more on those people first..."

Fused Irvine: "What ever, you sound like a nut job as it is..."

**Redwing** · 05-20-2003, 11:26 AM

((OOS: JM, there really isn't room at the top of the tower for characters to be hiding in the shadows

))

BattleDog · 05-20-2003, 04:13 PM

Flax: No Vampires have left the planet and none ever will. We will ensure that. Once the service personnal have been evacuated the Planet will be blockaded. Besides, finding the Vampires is easy. *Pulls out a heart monitor and directs it at Gillian* See.

At any rate, should the need arise I'm prepared to destroy the Planet. However I am loathed to do so. That will be our very last resort.

**Cmdr. Cracken** · 05-20-2003, 05:22 PM

*Cracken nodded, and snapped his com up*
Tojo, you may commence. *he turns to Rwos* The battle here might involve forces that could devestate the planets surface, killing many civilians and innocents. It's wise to get as many off as we can before and during our struggle.

*As if on que, hundreds Transports jumped in to support the fleet of Star Destroyers and 4 Super Star Destroyers. Many of them were large military transports empited of thier ammunition and equipment to help get as many people off of the Imperial Center as possible. They all made was to the planet, where the NR military set up que's of species, checking them all one by one for infection, and letting them on to transports. Imperial star fighters screamed overhead, giving cover and escort to the evacuation ships.*

*Cracken looked at Rwos*
Out the window? excuse me, not all of us here have wings.

Kuuki · 05-20-2003, 06:34 PM

RH Irvine: "Oh! I'll take care of that!"

*RH Irvine pulls out the remote, and presses a few buttons, minutes later his ship's cargobay ramp is just outside the window.*

RH Irvine: "All aboard." *Hops onto the ramp and walks up to the cockpit.* ((I hate it when the forums bleep it out))

jokemaster · 05-20-2003, 09:45 PM

((RW: Shouldn't there be a staricase or something?))

Admiral · 05-21-2003, 12:13 AM

((However there isn't any sunlight so he still could be hidden...))

Asgard: Valhalla

*After welcoming the Drakes back Odin goes into his palace where he is greeted by a com from one of his Valkyries.*

Valkyrie: Good evening Lord. We have caught a Formorian. Lady Athena has said you were to be given the choice on his fate.

Odin: Please extend my thanks to the Lady for the honor. Has the Fomorian been interogated?

Valkyrie: Yes sire.

Odin: Remove his legs and send them to Tartarus. Otherwise keep him alive for further interogations.

Valkyrie: It shall be done.

Odin: Good luck.

Valkyrie: Good night sire.

Odin: Good night.

*Odin then calls another Valkyrie. After a brief converstation, Odin dispatches some orders*

Coruscant

*In a tower; a little away from the tower that Rwos and the Others were on, Hildr, a valkyrie watches the group through a powerful scope. Her com unit then goes off, answering it...*

Hildr: Yes?

Valkyrie: Lord Odin is pulling us out. We have just finished installing the last of the new monitoring equipment.

Hildr: Good. When we will still have eyes and ears when we leave the planet. Did Lord Odin say anything about how we should leave.

Valkyrie: Yes, a small task force is being sent to pick us.

Hildr: Good. I'll continue to watch the tower. Have a ship pick me up here.

Valkyrie: Understood.

Space above Coruscant

*A small Aesirian taks force consisting of the Disen and another destroyer 3 cruisers, and 4 frigates disengages their slipstream drives at the edge of the system. Making a small hyperspace jump the task force arrives at Coruscant. Svafa was on the bridge of her flagship the Disen. Looking out at th evacuation.

Svafa: remain decloaked. I don't want any civilians running into our ships. Launch two transports and have a flight of raptors escort them.

*From the Disen's hangar bay two transports leave and four Raptors. (Raptors are space superiority fighters). The ships fly into Coruscants atmosphere. They fly directly over the tower the group was on. 1 Raptor heads moves away from the transports to pick up Hildr*

Kuuki · 05-21-2003, 12:23 AM

*A few warning lights go off. RH Irvine looks at some brief scans automatically made by the ship.*

RH Irvine: "Whoa. Never seen those craft before."

*He saves the 'quick' scans onto a encrypted file on the computer's Hard disk. Then recieves a print out, soon after RH Irvine puts them into a binder, which other recorded craft had been filed.*

RH Irvine: "Just have to look at those some later time. Aw, crap I haven't had a change to look at all of others." *sees the file cabanet is nearly full.* "*Sigh*"

**Redwing** · 05-21-2003, 04:46 AM

((OOS: I don't remember the NRI being able to destroy a planet...

JM: I intended for the tower to have no way to access to the top except jump or fly but...hey, never mind ^_~ next time I'll try actually telling people this stuff

))

Gilian: I don't think you heard a word I said, or perhaps you didn't understand it. Listen to me. If you destroy this planet you will be a murderer, as there's no possible way to get every being off of it. As for your strategy...you are dealing with forces you clearly do not comprehend. A blockade would be meaningless. A simple glamour spell, and a hundred vampires could be slipping off-planet right under your nose.

Rwos: It doesn't matter, Gilian. *to Flax* We aren't leaving this planet. We are going to try to end this. All I ask is that you don't interfere in any way.

Starr: We're coming with you.

Rwos: What? Why?

Starr: We need your help. And we aren't letting you out of our sight until you can give it.

Gilian: What makes you think we'll let you? Or give it?

Starr: I know about the other Blade in this dimension. I know what he's been doing.

*Gilian's eyes narrow* I swear---

Rwos: *interrupting* Fine. We don't have time for this. We'll discuss this matter at a more opportune time.

*Gilian's red glider rises into view at the window*

Rwos: Here's your wings, Cracken.

*Rwos looks at Gilian. She looks as if she wants to say something but stops. Wordlessly, she takes out a remote and points it at her glider. Several translucent, glowing disks detach from the underside and float to symmetrical positions around the glider*

Rwos: Do we have a destination?

Gilian: Yes. I ran a scan on the area infested, looking for specific magics that I sensed in those books. Found trace magic all over the place - looks like we have a teleporter - but the oldest traces are all in one place.

*Rwos looks at the others* Deac, Cracken, Starr? I assume you *motioning to Hal, Irvine and Greer* have other plans. *to Kalidor* You may come, if you wish...

Gilian: *mounting the glider* Step on the platforms. They're safe.

Kuuki · 05-21-2003, 08:53 AM

RH Irvine: *scratches head.* "Um, didn't I just provided the transportation?"

Deac · 05-21-2003, 03:38 PM

Deac: Let's go then. We have very little time. The hour is getting late...

jokemaster · 05-21-2003, 04:44 PM

Greer: I'll go with you, if you don't mind

BattleDog · 05-21-2003, 05:35 PM

Flax: What do you suggest we do? Leave everyone here as we fail miserably to combat these monsters. As to staying and fighting, I don't intend on leaving. However with atitudes like yours we will surley loose.

Kuuki · 05-21-2003, 07:59 PM

RH Irvine: *hoping that he wasn't being talked to.* "Well, just that the thought of armoured transport sounded like a good idea at the time..."

**Cmdr. Cracken** · 05-21-2003, 08:12 PM

*Cracken sets on the disks, and motions to Starr to follow suit.* Not bad, it'll work. just say the word, and we'll follow.

*glares at Irvine* If your trying to make up for the rebellion, you are sorely mistaken. A armored transport will be to noticable.

Let's get moving.

Captain Wilson · 05-21-2003, 08:51 PM

*Rising kaildor drew a small syringe and ingected into his arm. Shudering slightly, he now seemed more focused and alert. Walking after deac, he step out on to a gliding disc.*
There was still alot to ask starkiller

**Redwing** · 05-21-2003, 10:00 PM

Rwos: I don't mind...

Gilian: *to Greer* I do mind. I've seen enough of your government's bumbling. Besides, what are you going to do besides get in the way? *She glances sideways at Kalidor, as if wondering the same about him. Then she turns to Flax* I suggest you leave the strategy to someone who actually knows something about their situation. Obviously I can't stop you from doing something foolish on your own planet, but if you do the consequences will be on your head.

*Gilian ignites the glider's engines. The disks are moved by an invisible force along with the glider as it begins to descend*

Kuuki · 05-22-2003, 12:16 AM

*RH Irvine stands on the ramp of the cargo door, as he remote pilots his ship down along with the disks.*

RH Irvine: *Glaring back at Cracken.* "Listen here old man, believe it or not the only way I even know you is by my name, propaganda, and actual documentary about you. As far as anyother times in my life where I was in physical contact with you, I was far too young to remember." *Turns back at the others.* "Now that I got that off my shoulders, I re-send my offer, becuase definately a ship flying around that appears to be more of a civilain carrying feighter then an actual fighter like mine really is, wouldn't[/i] be as 'noticeable' espcally with this panic, as apposed to 7 or 8 people hovering around on translucent disks."

**Cmdr. Cracken** · 05-22-2003, 02:29 AM

((OOC: SCar, we're GONE. your the only one in the tower now...^_^))

*Cracken looks to Gillian*
Exactly where are we going....?
*His hand went to his temples... his migrane was coming back... damned...*

Kuuki · 05-22-2003, 08:31 AM

((On the contrary, Irvine is not at the tower:

Quote:

*RH Irvine stands on the ramp of the cargo door, as he remote pilots his ship down along with the disks.*

it could use some gammer change, but still ^_^))

Deac · 05-22-2003, 03:36 PM

Deac: So where are we to find Kvana? I take it he's who we're after here.

*Deac looks out at the devestation, and begins to weep as he sees a group of Atredian honour guard carry a coffin away from where Orthos died*

BattleDog · 05-22-2003, 04:23 PM

Flax: You know I'm not sure how you intend to get rid of all these Vampires. We can and will bomb any we find back into Holy Hell. As to net senseing them, you show your own ignorance. A living mind in a dead body is rather obvious.
