*Rita looks pained, but nods.*
Rita: Lets go watch some Tv in your room... Okay?
*She starts getting dressed, and chews on her bottom lip.*

---
*Jake opens the door, and imedatly hugs Denny.*
Jake: You alright? Gan I'm sorry... I shoud have of told you... Roland is gone.. I can feel it.
*He smiles weakly at her.*
Jake: My door is open for you..

Hmm... it did kill thirty people. I suppose more than a handgun is in order...
SABR HPR and MGS _should_take out Leo, but just to be sure, I'll pack an automatic HFE weapon as well. Or put a heavy particle cannon on the SABR. That's Lascannon level, with a higher rate of fire. It should do enough damage.
If it weren't for the fact that they're apparently immune to all forms of sensors... I'd just have a drone fire some swarm missiles in the air, or lure them out with... I don't know- and orbitally bombard the area. With the issue we have right now, of them having immunity...
I'll take a standard projectile shotgun loaded with AP rounds as my backup, just in case Leo can somehow spit out an EMP. Have to be prepared...
...now, I have the strangest feeling that I may be disturbing you. Would you like some tea?

*Thaddeus snaps out of his daze and realizes the room is empty. He stops himself from getting out his notebook and then he goes to the empty room with a piano*

*Dria hears about Gharn and goes to keep him company as he's yet to really see anyone*
*Morgan would go but he's been grounded among other punishments for what he did to Blue*
*Gharn and Dria play cards*


*Iris walks into the kitchen with Horus and Ra*
Iris: Good morning everyone!
*Horus and Ra both nod and go about making food*


*Scatty and Aoife are still looking for Roland stubbornly but will probs head back soon*


*Iris sits down at the kitchen table and notices the note and bottle*
Iris: Hey.. what's this?
*Examines the Scatty cure*

*Tail wraps around the Cure, and pulls it away from Iris*
That's for Scatty.

*Izy nods, but doesn't move to get dressed, instead, she just stares at her bare body in the mirror*

~

*Denny sighs, then returns the hug*
D: I'm fine... And I'm sorry about Roland... He'll be back, I'm sure of it...

*maria*

Your rambling... You know telling plans is a bad idea... Its movie villan mistake level...
And .. I'm not gonna help. That ones your gig.

Tea would be nice...
Kitchen over there... Tea above the sink. Kettle on the side, mugs to the left.

Who ever said I was telling the truth?
*Makes and pours Maria and self a cup of tea each*

*Iris nods*
Iris: Then someone needs to give it to her. Are you volunteering?

*Rita looks at Izriel in the mirror, and then hugs her from behind.*
Rita: This... changes nothing between us... you are still my angel.
*Tries not to cry.*

---
*Jake brings Denny into the room, and lets Oy in before closing the door.*
Jake: Something.. happened to him, something sent him somewhere.
*He grabs his head, when he thinks about it.*
Jake: Dammit.. all to fething hell.

*maria*
Thanks. Tea cures everything...

*sips tea*
Not bad... Not bad...

Taldeer doing better? Marlania told me you said she had been hurt?

Concerning somthibf powerful ernough to hurt her...

I will volunteer, yes. You got a problem with that?
*Stores the bottle in pants, and shivers at the coldness*

~

*Izy feels the hug, before her eyes finally register Rita being there*
I'm... Not an angel.

~

*Denny hugs Jake again*
D: He'll be back. He will. There's no way he can die, no way in hell...
*Stares at Jake with slight determination*

*Iris shakes her head*
Iris: None whatsoever. I hope it works for her.
*Sits down to eat with Horus and Ra before they go off to the lounge to do loungey type stuff*


*Scatty and Aoife's tracking skills fail them as the trail goes cold and they start heading back to the room*



OOC: Off to play AoS. Be back in a few hours

*Finally manages to break out a small moan, and looks at Daveth*
That's really, really cold... Musta been waiting out here for at least a day...
*Smiles at him*

*Shakes head sadly*
Stabbed in the eye with a wooden spoon, somehow. I couldn't save the eye. I'm growing her a new one. She's currently sedated, being cared for by Alexandria and some drones.

*Rita tightens the hug, and starts to cry.*
Rita: You're my angel.. understand!
*Feels horrible for yelling, but still holds the hugs.*

---

*Jake nods, and returns the hug.*
Jake: I hope your right Den...
*He breaks the hug, and nods again.*
Jake: Did you find anything? Anything to explain what happened?

*maria*

A woodern spoon.. Jeez... Someone was going for a creative option...

Drones.. Drones.. One day you need a crew...
Ships are lonely places...

*Izriel winces at Rita's raised voice, then closes her eyes as she starts to cry as well*
I was defiled... I was thrown away by Heaven... And you still stay with me... I am blessed, no matter how corrupt I am, I'll remember that blessing. You're the blessing...
*Puts both of her hands on Rita's, and cries more*

~

*Denny shakes her head*
D: No... I couldn't' find anything. His fire was snuffed out, and there were just footprints leading into the forest.

It's a life. I don't much want a proper crew. Too many... people. What I really need is a smaller ship. I can transplant Alexandria into an Eidolon frigate, and have more reasonable accomodations. I don't need so much space.

*Rita nods, and tightens the hug.*
Rita: I'll never leave you... never..
*She cries, and holds the hug.*

---
*Jake nods.*
Jake: It's okay... thank you for trying to find him.
*He sighs with frustration.*

*maria*
Yeah... Your ships like 2 times mine length. One person has alot of room to rattle about.

No drones unless you count servitors'.

Wait... Does she not have a say.... She is... Sentiant... And it is her.. Home of sorts...

*marilania and her friend start driving back*

Of course she has a say. I'll ask her. I expect her to say no. But if she says yes, that'd be nice.

*maria puts feet up on coffee table with a rather large plushy wolf in corner by swimming pool door*

Yeah.. You may struggle to convince her to downsize and lose a alot of capabilities...

Maybe a high end fast ship... Somthibf special.
Your gonna have to give her something worth moving to...
Advantages... Etc.

...

*marilania and victor pull upnat room and start heading away from garages*

I know... which is why it's so difficult. She's intelligent. I'm just worried she wouldn't settle. An Eidolon has storage for twenty-five nukes, a single spinal railgun, and two maser banks. It has pretty much the same computing capacity, but less backups, and a much smaller hull. Also, less civic capacity. Only two fabricator banks, and pretty much the largest thing it can make is an ANGLR, maybe a SABR if pressed.
...Oh, ANGLRS are new. I'll... describe them, if you want.

*Kara nods and kisses Maiev again*
K: Plenty. So, what's our plan today?
*smiles and nuzzles against Maiev*

*Daveth shrugs*
D: The Watchman blessed me with guidance last night. I haven't had this much clarity in a long time. But what about you? Have you done anything exciting?

*Maria*
If it helps you. You do relise you just told a Martian colinal navy capabilities... Nukes, masers.. Given standard pattern for a ship... Bringing a max of 2 weapons to bear on one broadside...

I know what your like... And Alexandria... Word it smart if you raise it... You can be a tad ... Well you...

Miss, it's common knowledge. I didn't tell you the amount of warheads in the missiles, or the maser yields. The most basic information, such as that, is available on the internet. Anything more detailed requires a clearance.
*Nods*
I will. I'd rather not have her make me sleep on the couch again. That was... irritating. And hell on my poor neck.
ANGLRs are a light infantry robot, by the way. SABRs are mediums, equipped with a heavy weapon and a multiple grenade system. ANGLRs are... essentially equivalent to a special-weapon equipped elite infantryman.
That's... Autonomous Networked General-purpose Light Robot.

*Smiles again, and leans forward a little*
Who's the Watchman? And yeah, I guess I can say I've done some exciting things lately.
*Making sure to use cleavage to maximum effect*

~

*Maiev shrugs*
M: I dunno. Get something to eat again? Enjoy life?

~

*Izriel cries with Rita, then turns and holds her properly*

~

*Denny shakes her head*
D: Sorry I came back empty-handed.

*Kara nods*
K: Sure.
*giggles slightly*
K: Are you sure you're hungry? You've been feeding all night.

*Daveth smiles at Elise and his eyes drop down slightly*
D: The Watchman of the Night is the deity I serve. He's protected me and my people for years.

*Rita holds Izriel for a bit, then wipes away her tears.*
Rita: C'mon.. lets get some rest.
*Gently moves her away from the mirror.*
Rita: Lets.. also get you dressed.

---

Jake: You did what you could.. that alone is good enough.
*He looks a bit gloomy, but wraps a arm around Denny.*
Jake: Don't overthink it... okay?

I see. Pretty good god to appear before you and tell you what to do, then. Most just leave their minions to do whatever and laugh as they feth up.
*Stretches, then smiles*
Want to talk about this in more depth over my bed with some champagne?

~

*Maiev giggles again, then uses her hands to get a firm grip on Kara's chest*
M: I might not be, but I didn't know about you.
*Kisses Kara's neck, then starts getting up*
M: I will eventually get something outta there though. No clue how babies do it...

~

*Izy follows and listens to Rita, still a bit down in the dumps though*
*Eventually puts an arm around her shoulders*

~

*Denny nods*
D: I won't, but I still wish I could do something about it. At least more than what I was able to do.
