[6:09][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The STAR TREK: PILGRIM theme is replaced by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzO2SNmylhU tonight. *
[6:09][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:**We open on a Beryxian street in chaos. Beryxians are running frantically as Chantry soldiers open fire indiscriminately on their fleeing backs. A tiny golden girl ducks down behind her window..
[6:09][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:to avoid the sight, quickly pulled away and into a back room by her mother. She shuts the door swiftly and the group of children and adults within shush them immediately, turning toward a..
[6:10][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:primitive radio someone had dug out of storage as a familiar voice emanates softly but sternly from it, the volume low in the hopes of avoiding detection:
[6:10][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:“People of Beryxia, I, Ryle Dyrellia, speak now to you with the greatest sorrow. I regret to inform you that we are under attack. The Chantry of Delphia has, in the last several hours, destroyed..
[6:10][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:our seat of parliament and multiple other government facilities. It has been confirmed to me now that our esteemed Prime Minister Edrigon Varbex and his entire cabinet have been killed in the..
[6:11][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:explosion.” *Gasps and whimpers come from across the room, the others quickly shushing them again as they lean in to try and hear the broadcast over the sound of screams and weapons fire outside.
[6:11][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:“It is also my burden to inform you that my great aunt, our beloved Queen Janira Dyrellia, has been assassinated by the Chantry of Delphia. Other members of the royal family have also fallen prey..
[6:12][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:to the insidious Chantry. It would appear that I am now given the unenviable title of last Dyrellia.”
[6:12][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:“No… the royals too?” *a young woman whispers, then quickly covers her mouth to avoid the shushing.
[6:12][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:“I have been informed now that the Chantry is openly seizing control of parts of our great city. We have pleaded for Dawn Alliance intervention to no avail. We have been abandoned. Under these..
[6:12][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:ircumstances, it has become necessary for me to take command of the remnants of our government and declare a state of martial law. You must remain in your homes and comply with peacekeepers.”
[6:13][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A loud crash comes from somewhere behind the door. The Beryxians look at each other in panic as they begin to barricade the door shut with the miscellaneous furniture they have in the little room.
[6:13][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:“I will not lie to you, we are in desperate times… perhaps the most desperate times since the Chantry last attacked our world three years ago. I swear to you all that I will do -whatever- it takes..
[6:13][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:keep us safe, but that will require---”
[6:13][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*They shut the radio off, and a strange silence descends as even the weapons fire from outside ceases. They look to each other in confusion when the door explodes into the group, knocking those..
[6:14][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:holding it away as their doom in the form of a Deacon looms over them. His weapon raises, but when a shot rings out it doesn’t come from him. He slumps down onto the ground and is immediately..
[6:14][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:vaporised by a group of black-armoured figures behind him. The one in front steps toward the Beryxians, stowing his weapon and raising his hands to them before decreasing the tint on his helmet.*
[6:14][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tanausan] “We’re from the Imperium… and we’re here to help.”
[6:15][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The scene cuts to black. When the next scene opens, we return to our heroes on the Imperium Stalker they took several hours ago. T’Pang begins her log as she oversees the crew putting the..
[6:15][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:finishing touches on their deception. *
[6:18][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Captain's Log, Stardate 99787.66. Repairs to the captured Imperium Stalker are now complete. Our science teams have finished cracking the encryption on the main computers, reavealing a wealth of data
[6:21][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:The Stalker, as with all Imperium vessels seems to be registers only as a number. In this case C687. I find that demonstrats quite a lack of creativity on their part
[6:22][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:The crew for the stalker is moving into place. Among them we have a Beryxian infiltration team and a Kirtascan strike team
[6:23][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:We have also managed to assemble quite a team of enlisted non-Tanasaunan Imperial defectors to help up crew the ship
[6:25][DOIC]T'Pang@Demoncheru:Anyway, I think we are ready to proceed. End Log
[6:26][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Mr Maric, set up the portable scanner there. Consult the Catadai medic about their flow, we are going to count on them for local knowledge in thier medbay.
[6:26][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-locates the stalker's tactical console ass he heads for it she is busyingherself as she checks in on how well the defecting personel are fitting in
[6:26][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maric] *He carried the scanner over.* "Flow, ma'am?
[6:26][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*emerged from the command room fixing the clothing on her
[6:27][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang shuts off the log recorder-
[6:27][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She was sitting at the science console, familiarising herself with it.* "Time to do some sketchy shit, doo dah, doo dah, hope we get away with it, oh dee doo dah day.
[6:27][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang picks up her PADD and continues reasing.-
[6:27][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:["Saedis"] Lets get your pet back vulcan so i can get you off my ship
[6:28][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"You know, how the patients move through, so the supplies needed are on hand. Things get harry, we wont want to be running across the room into each other looking for things.
[6:28][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"its my ship now...
[6:28][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:["Saedis"] *gave some of the ex-imperium crew a look
[6:28][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Close enough?" *bren said in her normal voice
[6:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The ex-Imperium people grimaced.
[6:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Saressy] "Too close.
[6:29][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Too close for my taste, I almost reached for my Lirpa when you walked in.
[6:29][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"I think thats the goal.
[6:29][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali is scanning, and familiarizing, recording things as needed to be able to work in the new environment.
[6:29][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Uniform is hers. more real we have the better.
[6:29][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes, I suppose it is. But, still I find it unnerving.
[6:29][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-begins to methodically study the weapons systems, shields missles, weapons and how to use them
[6:30][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maric] "Right... where is she, anyway?
[6:30][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Well atleast you didn't have to listen through hours of art logs.... to get the voice right
[6:30][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"I couldn't find her whip.
[6:30][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she shrugged
[6:31][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to Ish- Leftenan
[6:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Ask Ensign Istrin, he may know where it is.
[6:31][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Sure.
[6:31][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*bren snuck up behind istrin*
[6:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Ouch... here I thought you were getting promoted.
[6:32][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-satisifed so far she begins to run herself through weaps deployment drills..putting herself through the grinder
[6:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ettore] "Technically Teir hasn't left yet, we could always drag him back kicking and screaming for one last mission.
[6:33][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] *slid her hand on istrin's shoulder* Where is my whip boy
[6:33][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:["Saedis"] Tell me and I won't have to punish you much for taking it
[6:33][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Elinzari should be coming with the grav cart loaded with the medical replicator. Check transporter beam in site, she might need help."
[6:33][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he turned to look at her with his brow furrowed* I left it in her quarters or whatever she calls it
[6:33][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-side eyed the exchange beside her as she recycled her drills
[6:34][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"what sort of stealth capabilities does this vessel have?
[6:34][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Maric] "Yes, ma'am." *He headed out.
[6:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Really good ones.
[6:34][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Oh Okay.
[6:35][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she smiled at istrin then headed off to fetch it
[6:35][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-to Bren- You have captured the loo
[6:35][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"helps to be able to change your shape.
[6:35][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Indee
[6:36][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*bren disappeared into the command chamber
[6:37][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Mreshi] "Update from the Pilgrim, ma'am. They're almost certain the woman from the Dionya has a biosignature blocker installed, they'll be working on it while we're out.
[6:37][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-commences yet another series of weapons drills to test herself
[6:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She looked to T'Pang.* "Considering how hard we found it to detect them, ma'am, I'd say their stealth's probably on par with yours.
[6:39][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he shivered a little and turned his attention back to the console
[6:39][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:"Understood. You know this is volunteer only Mreshi, if you are not comfortable you do not have to join us on board.
[6:39][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-to Ish- It vill pass..
[6:40][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Mreshi] "I know, doctor. I want to help however I can, though. I want to keep any more people from dying today.
[6:40][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Mreshi] "I know, doctor. I want to help however I can, though. I want to keep any more people from dying today.
[6:40][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i suppose...but do we know how to operate it?
[6:40][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Yeah, it just did. *he nodded to her
[6:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ettore] "New girl's probably got a stealth button on her console." *she shrugged.
[6:41][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"found it!
[6:41][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she came back on the bridge
[6:41][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smiles a little- Gud. I knew that it voul
[6:43][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"The good news is I beleive they gave the C687... you knwo that doesn't work. This vessel should have a real name now its the first one of the Resistance free navy of thsi class.
[6:43][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-to T'Pang- Confirmed My Kaptain, I have stealth contro
[6:43][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"and we stole it so... its not bad luck to give a ship that has no name.. a name
[6:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I believe that means you get to pick the name, Captain.
[6:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Oooh, or we could all pick one and hold a vote!
[6:44][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "...Or the captain could pick.
[6:44][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dali shoots a message in text* - Take care of our people Dr Aiten, you have my confidence and hope to see you soon when this is done.
[6:44][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am thinking we should stealth our way to the edge of the Beryxian system and take a look around before we decide to try and fake our way past secuity.
[6:45][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Smart, but remember captain the frequencys to bypass the dampeners will only be active for 78 minutes now."
[6:45][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"So we should get underway soon and have the Hazard team in the armor for transmat.
[6:46][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"you know.. just incase we see an opening for aggressive intelligence
[6:47][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A message comes back.* "Will do, Doctor Delancey. Stay safe and good luck.
[6:48][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, helm plot a course to Beryxia. Tactical, engage stealth measures and take us to what ever combat alert level this ship has.
[6:48][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She looked devastated.* "So we're just going to ignore naming Stalker McStalkyface?
[6:48][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-activats combat stations all decks- Engaging stealth Kaptain...-does so
[6:49][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "We're not naming it that!" *He fiddled with the console.
[6:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I am thinking Lieutenant Orestes.
[6:49][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Vhy not Dagger of T'Pang? -offers
[6:49][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Talon.
[6:50][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*sends back the internal coms confirmation and goes back to making sure what medical team she has is ready for emergencies.
[6:50][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Across the decks, the lighting changed to a blue hue as they went to tactical alert. *
[6:51][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I am not going to name this ship after myself.
[6:52][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"That's why I suggested Talon. Is not the Raptor a bird of Vengeance in vulcan mythology as much as it is in Rihannsu
[6:52][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Stealth engaged
[6:52][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] *She checked a console.* "The Protector's Claw, Caelian and Arys send their regards and luck, Captain.
[6:53][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "And from Commander Aquila, 'Good hunting.'
[6:54][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she nods to Ain-- "Send them my thanks and tell them to stand by for our contact.
[6:54][DOIC4]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Maric and Elin arrived with the grav cart and went to start putting away supplies.
[6:55][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Dad will have the pilgrim ready in no time.
[6:55][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods to Bren-- "i have every confidence in that.
[6:55][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Yes, ma'am." *She hit a few buttons.* "They'll be on alert in case of any other developments. We have a rendezvous point outside of Beryxian space planned as well.
[6:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "In case of emergency we're to head there.
[6:57][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"understood, send them our acknowledgement.
[6:58][DOIC4]Dalliance@Gonz.:*Dr Delancey is making scans with the tricorder and building full data for simulator and training.
[6:58][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Done, ma'am.
[6:59][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*bren fiddled with the shock collar that was attached on her belt
[6:59][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:[bren] *pushed a few buttons* Oh neat
[7:00][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"How about the 'Talon of Beryxia' as a name?
[7:00][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She gave a noncommittal shrug.
[7:01][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "We have our course, captain.
[7:01][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"I like it.
[7:01][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Talon for short.
[7:01][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she looked at Orestes.-- "what is that supposed to mean?
[7:01][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Stealth engaged and holdin
[7:01][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, Talon for short.
[7:01][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin looked over at the captain then Orestes
[7:02][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"I mean i had other ones, Balance of judgment, Measure of terror, Elucidating Mirror of Enduring Resolve
[7:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "It was a shrug, ma'am. A shrug is to raise one's shoulders slightly and momentarily to express doubt, ignorance, or indifference.
[7:02][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*Ain and Saressy both palmed their faces.
[7:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well we are going with Talon of Beryxia, Talon for short...
[7:03][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"I like it.
[7:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "So let it be written.
[7:06][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "...So... did you want me to engage, Captain?
[7:07][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T"Pang sighs quietly-- "Yes. Yes. engage..
[7:08][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang shifts in the comand chair, trying to get comfortable.-
[7:08][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The stealthed Talon of Beryxia glided out of the blue supergiant system with ease, her engines purring almost sensually as they revved up and then pounced into warp.*
[7:08][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*bren watches her a moment then decides not to tell her what kind of leather that is.
[7:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "These chairs are the worst... but damn does she handle smoothly.
[7:09][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"This chair is the most uncomfotable piece of furnnature I have ever sat in...and I have been on a Klingon ship before.
[7:09][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "At least it was built for someone your size, ma'am.
[7:10][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Yes there is at least that.
[7:10][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks to Ish- At least they get chair
[7:11][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:["Saedis"] If you complain again weapons... I will remove your desire to ever sit again.
[7:11][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she electrified her whip
[7:11][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*then couldn't hold it together and laughed
[7:11][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"sorry.
[7:12][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I do have an important question. What do we know about Imperium security protocols?
[7:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Saressy] *He was just inching back from Bren.
[7:12][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Saressy] "A fair amount. What exactly do you want to know?
[7:12][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"We know that they are usign a rotatign transmat and transfer frequencies.
[7:12][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smiles at that
[7:13][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"They have dedicated some considerable forces ot beryxia any chantry vessels ahve probably left or been scuttled by now to sell the ruse. and No doubt they are "recovering" the recordings they 
[7:13][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:falsified from them now.
[7:13][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"They will have a marauder on intercept aptrol of all new arrivals probably if Captain Vex's notes are accurate.
[7:14][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"But i don't think they can detect through their cloaks any more than we can. this technology was rapidly developed from stolen designs.
[7:14][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"And intelligence.
[7:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right and those patrols will challenge us if we enter the system. We had best have our response planned out.
[7:14][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "If we enter the system and get caught, you mean.
[7:15][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right. But, if we enter the system claoked and get caught it will be hard to talk our way out of that.
[7:16][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Saressy] "I was under the impression that's why we had... this whole business going." *He nodded to the fake Saedis.
[7:16][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Not exactly.
[7:17][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Captain are you familiar with the poekr concept of a hard bluff?
[7:18][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am familiar with the concept of a bluff. Is a 'hard bluff' significantly different.
[7:18][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Dad says sometimes you gotta play the blind because otherwise yoru out."
[7:18][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"So you go hard, hope to pick the hand up before the flop.
[7:18][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"They call it your screwed but most people will think your holding the aces
[7:19][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"So we go in we act as if we are testign their perimeter if we get caught.
[7:19][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"
[7:19][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"So we go in cloaked and hope for the best, if we get caught we try to bluff our way out of it
[7:19][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"its our only play really.
[7:20][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Saressy] "It would work. Any chance to humiliate another captain would be... well, hard to pass up.
[7:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is true, I am not seeing any other options here.
[7:20][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-calls out- Sensors on Brexyia star system....multiple contacts...Despite the sensor limitations I am able to dsicern..One command Carrier four prowler packs vith their acoompanying marauder
[7:21][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Plotting their respective positionsn ow to tactica
[7:21][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Three minutes until we reach the Oort cloud.
[7:21][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Helm pause us at the system's oort cloud, I want to take a few minutes to gets some good intelligence on what fleet assets they have in system before we move in closer.
[7:23][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Lieutenant Istrin.
[7:23][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks- Thus far no Koln nor Chantry assests that can be seen in syste
[7:23][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Ma'am
[7:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Tanausans make bad team players, which is weird for an Imperium with so many species in it.
[7:23][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "They make bad team players with us, too.
[7:23][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Make sure the ship is locked down, security teams in all sensitive areas..
[7:24][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Pure Meritocracy combined with crony meritocracy. They are always competing.
[7:24][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:Of course ma'am
[7:24][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"What we should be worried about is after we kill all the incompetent peacetime commanders only those with skill will remain.
[7:25][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Atleast that's waht Ragnar says.
[7:26][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin checked on the teams to see if they were awake and in position
[7:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Coming to a stop.
[7:26][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks- Provided the Imperium survives this invasio
[7:26][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"There are alot of them on the other side of the galaxy.
[7:27][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"but freedom is a hell of a thought virus.
[7:27][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Quality...is always thekey over quantit
[7:27][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Talon eases out of warp at the edge of Beryxia's Oort cloud, facing a system buzzing with Imperial activity as they patrol around the little ecumenopolis. *
[7:27][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Alesson my people have had to lear
[7:27][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he nodded in agreement with Elise
[7:28][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Ja it ist Bren -nods to her and then to Ish
[7:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Hey, captain? They're missing a few major asteroids from their field.
[7:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Planet seems... not impacted at all, though.
[7:29][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-stiffens- ...the planet still remains in Imperium hands is vh
[7:29][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Yes, records from this Stalker indicates she was scouting asteroids in this system and selected some that met certain criteria...for what purpose I can't say.
[7:30][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:I can..I have seen this tactic in use befor
[7:30][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Ve must ensure ve varn the allie
[7:31][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i have seen i tused by the Chantry...The imperium may have adopted the idea as some sort of failsafe.
[7:31][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods- They adopted your cloaking technology vhy not the tactic of an ally
[7:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She tapped her chin.* "Oooor... how fucking metal would it have seemed to the Beryxians if the Imperium was blasting asteroids out of the sky to save them?
[7:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Saressy] "...What does metal have to do with anything?
[7:32][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"we have to assume they intend to use them for such a purpopse.
[7:32][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods to her- The Acrima joined Skara when my people vereblamed for the Chantry's useof the
[7:32][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I'll explain later.
[7:32][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"I beleive it would be rather metal Orestes!
[7:33][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Falling rocks streak through the sky, and BLAM, the imperium made them die!" *she sang in a very Manowar style
[7:33][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"So yeah... they'd probably stage that.

[7:34][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"yeah.
[7:34][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"That would fit with their overall plan here. They are laying the ground work to blame all of this on the Chantry and the Dawn Alliance. The two factions cutting a deal trading Beryxia for peace.
[7:35][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"They want to set the Imperium up as the saviors here.
[7:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "I have no doubt that's the same way they got some of our ancestors to join them during the last war.
[7:36][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"They also need it as an important base since we took kirta from them
[7:36][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:My Kaptain..I have studied the Imperium's patrol patterns..I believe I have found a gap ve can exploit..-shows the pattern on the tactical board for her

[7:36][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"No doubt and by the time anyone figures out the truth it will be too late.

[7:37][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-sends Teeth the coordinates
[7:38][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Haven't found a needle I couldn't thread before." *he made some calculations.

[7:39][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Kaptain
[7:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"yes leftenant.
[7:40][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:I am now showing vhat also appears to be a partially built orbital structure around the planet...by design it seems they are in the process of building a rather advance
[7:40][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:shipyard...by configuartion...a Kirtascan on
[7:40][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Why would the tanausan build a kirtascan shipyard?
[7:41][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:That ist a very good questio
[7:41][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"that is an interesting question.
[7:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Probably 'cause it was probably already there? Kirtascans gave them their old ships, after all.
[7:41][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"That makes sense.
[7:41][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-nods accepting that answer
[7:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Building must've been put on hold when the Kirtascans had to go back to focusing on their own tails.

[7:42][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Tears falling in to rain.. lost but for the eyes that cry them
[7:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"It makes sense that the Imperium would take it over use it.

[7:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Aye ma'am.

[7:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--waits for the window to open up-
[7:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Teeth] "Yes ma'am." *He waited for the window, then took them in as soon as it was open.
[7:46][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** The Talon slipped into the system, coasting past little Chantry-coloured debris fields, missing asteroids and stalward 'defenders.' *
[7:49][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** A Prowler deviates only slightly from its course, but luckily seems to not notice them as they make their way toward the world, shrouded in dark clouds. *

[8:02][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:Is something wrong istrin
[8:02][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:They found me

[8:02][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he closed his eyes and tried scrambling into incognito mode again
[8:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Who found you? and were they able to identify you?
[8:04][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she walked up to istrin

[8:09][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Checking now Kaptain -looks for any possible good hidey holes
[8:10][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** As they closed in on Beryxia, they could see fires across the surface of the planetwide city.*
[8:10][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:["Saedis"] Killing you would be too easy! I'd rather break you, Penance has designs on your mind
[8:10][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*bren hit the button again on the collar
[8:10][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*then stepped on istrin's chest with her heel
[8:12][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang sets her jaw as she sees the city on fire.-
[8:13][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:My Kaptain of the few moons of Breyxia...thereist one..the third..ist fairly small and shows no mineral value. Simply oneof those moons that makes the sky prett
[8:13][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin tried struggling from the floor to make it look buyable* Just get it over with, you got your damn whip
[8:14][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:at night...it does not seem to be of any notice to the Apostate
[8:14][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:["Saedis"] But the whip would ruin the canvas...
[8:14][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*he gave not-saedis a look as if to say 'not working'

[8:15][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:["Saedis"] Lets see what we have here. Or I'll start in on your captain. I am sure she's properly prepared by now... repeatedly.
[8:16][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin would then try and use the movement to 'accidently' switch modes on his shock collar
[8:16][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Ja..it ist...but it is a reach. Ve will have to vait to use the transmat each time the moon is in position over our destination poin
[8:16][DOIC2]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:(Roll to see if crucifying the poor boy helps
[8:16][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:But it vill keep us hidde

[8:19][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:["Saedis"]*drew her gelding knife and used it to cut away the chest of istrin's uniform
[8:20][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang turns her head toward the command chamber door with a look of concern on her face-
[8:20][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:["Saedis"] One layer... *she used the collar again
[8:21][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin panted hard, screaming again as round two started
[8:21][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-closes her eyes a moment at the sound of themuffled cry. after a few moments she opened them and resumed her sweeps
[8:22][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Saedis] Imagine... how much my men are enjoying that little vulcan captain of yours
[8:22][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*panting again* stopstopstop. *he took another breath in and winced * We're good
[8:22][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:["Saedis"]*she used the blade to cut through istrin's shirt stopping at the end
[8:23][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:["Saedis"] Space bourbon
[8:23][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:The patrols are on their usual patrol paths..they pay no attention to this moon. We are in a safe harbor my Kaptai
[8:23][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:["Saedis"] Isn't that your favorite drink?
[8:24][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Excellent. How long until our window to transmat a team in?
[8:24][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:Just get me down from here. *he jiggled his limbs a little as he hung there
[8:24][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-softly in Kzari- Zo wie ein spiegelz. alsz nichs zo unterschiedlichern -then louder- Verifying Kaptain
[8:25][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-checks the time til the next orbital window
[8:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "That depends on where you intend to go, Captain.
[8:25][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Instrin?
[8:25][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"We need to get eyes in the capital cityy.
[8:25][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she was in bren's voice
[8:25][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*and she cut the straps holding him there with the knife
[8:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "It's... all the capital city.
[8:25][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "You want to go to the palace?
[8:25][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:"I am sorry...
[8:26][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she helped him out of the contraption
[8:26][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"AS close to the palace as we can get.
[8:26][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Next orbital vindow ist in 15 minutes my Kaptai
[8:26][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "It's very likely that he's been moved from there, Captain. But we may be able to find where they went from there.
[8:27][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*he stumbled down to a knee, his voice raspy* It worked. Ok
[8:27][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*bren looks concerned and shimemrs back to her normal face
[8:27][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I need to know what is going on down there.
[8:27][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she kneels down and removes the collar
[8:27][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--she looks at Orestes-- "Do you think you can hack into the network of Dampners?
[8:28][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Ve should be close enough to pick up any local broadcast
[8:28][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*then gives him a hug
[8:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I don't have to. Our code still works for the next twenty-five minutes.
[8:28][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:"I am so sorry....
[8:28][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Right, are you receiving any local broadcasts?
[8:28][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "So... we'll have to find another way back after the away team goes down.
[8:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Right. I was just looking into that. I'm picking up a radio transmission, planetwide broadcast.
[8:29][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I am aware our code works for the next 25 minutes, but whata bout after that?
[8:29][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Uh... we have to get the new code, or shoot out a bunch of dampeners, or go swim into the ocean.
[8:29][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*he hugged her back then tried standing* I need another shirt now.
[8:30][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well put the broadcast on speakers while you think about how to deal with the dampners.
[8:30][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*traced his chest* "yeah.
[8:30][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I just gave you three solu--- you know what, just putting it on.

[8:31][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she shimmered back into her costume
[8:31][DOIC2]Bren@Captain_Rien:*wiped a few tears from her eye sthen headed back on the bridge
[8:31][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The speakers on the bridge came on with Ryle's voice as he delivered the message from the opening sequence.
[8:31][DOIC2]Istrin@the5of43:*he slowly headed for the door to the bridge while rubbing at his neck
[8:32][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-lifted her head some as she listened
[8:33][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*An istrin appeared in a cut up jacket and made way to the back to replicate a fresh one
[8:33][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang stiffened visibly as she listened to Ryle being an IMperial puppet.-
[8:33][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Effective tacti
[8:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The message concludes with,* "I swear to you all that I will do -whatever- it takes to keep us safe, but that will require great sacrifice on all our parts. There will be many changes in the days..
[8:34][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--to the point that she failed to notice Istrin-
[8:34][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:to come. Let us all work together to see our future realised.
[8:35][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Threw us under the bus, huh?
[8:36][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:a desperate tacti
[8:36][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*seem distant
[8:36][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Is it? I mean, if they want them to cooperate, they can't make them think their buddies to hate the blue guys are coming to help.
[8:36][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"I expected the Imperium to try to blame this on us...I am rather shocked that they seem to be throwing the Chantry under the same bus as us..
[8:37][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"I don't think they are.
[8:37][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:The Chantry sees such deaths of their people as dedicated sacrifice
[8:38][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"i am not so sure that the Chantry are in on this plan.
[8:38][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"You think the girl on your ship they ahve more of those?
[8:39][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Saressy] "Girl?
[8:39][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:Careful my Kaptain..the Sirens are most manipulative
[8:39][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin returned to his console, listening again to the others for now
[8:39][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"They may have more. I know the compiuter records refer to a Projject Emoryn.
[8:40][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"They were inconclusive though
[8:40][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"But that would make sense.
[8:40][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-quietly to Ish- Run a series of patrol checks each minute Leftenant. It vill help vith the pain
[8:41][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"all of it is inconclusive, for all I know this whole plan could have been devised by the Chantry..
[8:41][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "There's always another layer." *she sighed.
[8:42][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"lPlans within plans...
[8:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "Makes you wonder which plans even know about the other plans.
[8:42][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Hey, captain? Window in five. Want to decide who goes down?
[8:42][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:They act almost..like rivals at time
[8:43][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he looked at Elise and nodded, typing a message
[8:43][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Saressy] "The Imperium's never been thrilled about working with the Chantry.
[8:44][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-types a message back
[8:44][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:The sirens have never liked to..share -to Saressy
[8:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Saressy] "Neither have the Tanausans.

[8:45][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Saressy] "I wasn't privy to any of it, but I wouldn't put it past them to do this behind their backs to... gloat.
[8:45][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Lets get the Beryxian infiltration team on the ground so we can get a look around.
[8:46][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "The Imperium taking Beryxia instead of the Chantry when they've made a few attempts... it doesn't look good for them, no.
[8:46][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"once we get a better idea of the situation on the ground we can go from there.
[8:47][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:-smirks- Perhaps the Chantry got in the way this time -soft chuckle
[8:47][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Do you want me to costume change and go with them?
[8:47][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"I can be gold as well as blue.
[8:48][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang thinks about that.-- "Yes Bren they could use your technical expertise on the ground.
[8:48][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*he cleared his throat a little* Captain the infiltration team is ready to go
[8:48][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she nodded then shimmered gold and remvoed the armor
[8:49][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:*revealing a skimpy dress in a beryxian style
[8:49][DOIC1]Bren@Captain_Rien:"No one pays attention to the gold civilians after all
[8:49][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"thank you lieutenant." --she turns to Bren-- "I like that look better anyway. Join the infiltration team and good luck.

[8:50][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=^=Bridge to infiltration team...=^
[8:51][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The team materialised on the surface near the palace. It was covered in a thick layer of ash, one part had been demolished by artillery fire and was still burning. Bodies lay everywhere on the..
[8:52][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:ground before them, along with a few craters from exploded Deacons.
[8:53][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Beryxian] =/\= "Reporting. We've arrived. Palace has been partially destroyed, east wing remains intact.
[8:53][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:*looks around then shifts her clothing to now match the infiltration team
[8:53][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Bren] Gotta sell it. Is that where the queens chambers are
[8:54][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Beryxian] "If the tabloids are accurate, should be.
[8:54][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[bren] Wipes out any evidence too to the contrary
[8:54][DOIC1]Istrin@the5of43:*Istrin absentmindedly massaged parts of his throat as he listened in
[8:55][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:=^=Understood, scout around and report back on the situation down there. But, be advised if you get in trouble we may not be able to pull you out at a moments notice. =^

[8:55][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:[Bren] I'll scout ahead you stand by. *bren shimmered and was now nearly transparent save for a small sheen that was barely visible in the smoke
[8:56][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "Just hope that trouble arrives within the next ten minutes and not at the eleven mark.
[8:56][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Beryxian] "Got it.
[8:57][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The formerly beautiful palace grounds were now a landscape of black and grey ash and crimson blood. Bren could see some people moving around through the blown open doors.
[8:58][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Well I suppose we have ten minutes to work on that problem.
[8:59][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"How heavily guarded are these dampner units anyway?
[8:59][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] "I'll tell you when we find one.
[9:00][DOIC1]Elise@Isis:They prefer those to be well hidden Kaptain
[9:01][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she took a closer look through th edoors
[9:02][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*A woman in a ruined maid's dress was fumbling through the rubble, numbly trying to set it back to rights. A harried looking man was trying to get her to leave it.
[9:03][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:"Alright then we are going to have to send another team down to investigate one of the dampner locations.
[9:04][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She tilted her head slightly.* "Wouldn't it be easier if the... infiltration team we already sent did that? They'll have to anyway if they want to be beamed up?

[9:05][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Ain] "We'll have to send another team down eventually anyway, ma'am.
[9:06][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Woman] *She ignored Bren and the man, placing the pieces of a shattered plate together.
[9:07][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Man] "We're getting out of here... or trying to. Sooner or later this place will collapse.
[9:07][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--nods approvingly to Ain-- "Exactly.
[9:07][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:"have you seen the prince?
[9:08][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Man] *He scoffed.* "Which one? Though none of the ones inside will have anything to say to you.
[9:08][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Ryle.
[9:09][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:"The one on the comms.
[9:09][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Man] "Come -on,- Anyra, those Imperials said we couldn't be looting..." *he looked back up at Bren.* "If he had any sense he'd be in that military bunker nearby, if it hasn't been blown up too.
[9:10][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Good luck.
[9:11][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang picks up her Lirpa which was casually laid next to the command chair and stands with it,-
[9:12][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:"go that way.
[9:12][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:"you should be clear.
[9:12][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Structure is sound enough to get out.
[9:12][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she pointed
[9:12][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Man] "Thank you... you too." *He blinked.* "Uh... right, okay.
[9:13][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she headed back to the team
[9:13][DOIC1]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Orestes] *She took out her PADD and snapped an image of T'Pang.* "That's going on the Christmas card.
[9:14][DOIC1]T'Pang@Demoncheru:--T'Pang blinked in surprise-
[9:14][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*As Bren approached, she would see the team was in the midst of speaking with a group of mixed Beryxian peacekeepers and Tanausan soldiers.
[9:14][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she listened in translucent mode
[9:15][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tanausan] "...Their identification checks out? Make sure you bioscan them as well.
[9:15][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Peacekeeper] "Yes, of course." *He ran the scanner over them.* "All clean. Beryxian.
[9:16][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Infiltrator] "We appreciate the diligence. Can't be too careful with the Chantry among us.
[9:16][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tanausan] "Have them report to their residences immediately. They have no business being out now.
[9:17][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Peacekeeper] "...We'll have to ask you to return to your residences at once. Consider this your warning.
[9:17][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Infiltrator] "Of course. We apologise for the mistake.
[9:18][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Tanausan] "Let's go. We need to secure the palace before anyone gets the bright idea to begin looting.
[9:18][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she waited until they left
[9:18][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:*The infiltrators began to quickly exit the area as the Tannies and peacekeepers moved to the palace.
[9:20][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:*she linked back up
[9:21][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Infiltrator] "What did you get?
[9:21][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:"He's likely in a bunker near the palace. They want to sell the rest were killed in an orbital strike.
[9:22][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Strategicly placed charges likely to break enough of it without crumbling. The people inside were probably already killed.
[9:22][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Atleast I imagine.
[9:22][DOIC6]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:[Infiltrator] *He shook his head.* "They wouldn't leave it to chance.
[9:22][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:"I'll update the captain before we lose signal timeline.
[9:22][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:=^= Gorund team to Talon

[9:24][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:"possible location on target, bunker near the palace, we'll recon the area. Probably going to need a different extract and infil, expect jamming soon. Listen to beryxian radio station, if you hear on
[9:25][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:"of my songs, means we are compromised... and you need to run, If you hear the blues.... find a way to get through the jammers, give us 2 hours.

[9:27][DOIC6]Bren@Captain_Rien:"Well lets get to work.
[9:27][DOIC]DGM Apocalypse@liorexu:** As Bren and the Beryxians were left to get to work and the Talon of Beryxia remained hidden in orbit over its namesake... the screen flashes TO BE CONTINUED!*
