[14:25] <@MageRooster> Episode 11 - The Progenitors (Part 1) [14:25] * Mecha[Sleep] is now known as Mecha[Out] [14:26] * Sarah_ is now known as Sarah [14:26] <+Alex_Young> << I also wanted to make my hero name axel rose, like the lead singer from guns & roses. Since axel is also an anagram for my name and i like guitars. then i found out from wikipedia that his name is actually axl rose and an anagram for oral sex. i dropped the idea then... >> [14:27] <@SachaMallory> << ~_~ >> [14:27] <@SachaMallory> << *shotguns Alex* >> [14:27] <@MageRooster> The camera focuses on a pair of boys, sitting in a field. No older than about eight, they're out later than they should be, but they snuck out after their parents went to sleep. They seem to be playing catch with a baseball, but neither of them are using mitts. [14:27] <@Applica> << http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bj0Ma2CsHME >> [14:29] <@MageRooster> The view focuses in a bit tighter on the boys... and you can clearly see that they aren't throwing the ball, they're levitating it between each other. Not simple disobedience, just practicing a skill in secret. Who knows? They may want to use their powers to become superheroes some day? [14:30] <@SachaMallory> << Or supervillains. >> [14:31] <+Alex_Young> << so sun city at new years day huh? >> [14:32] <@SachaMallory> << *shushes Alex* >> [14:32] <+Alex_Young> << I'm just asking for confirmation here! >> [14:32] <@MageRooster> They stop, looking up... the night sky, sparkling with the lights of the heavens. One of the lights begins to move. "Whoa, look Billy! A shooting star!" "Cool! I wonder where it'll land!" The 'star' grows a little bigger in the sky and falls. "Uhh, Joe, are you sure that's a shooting star? Doesn't it seem a little big?" "What are ya, a chicken? Let's go check it out! I bet it fell near here." [14:35] <@Applica> << It's going to steal your cows. >> [14:35] <+LiraOrdin> << My... my... my Romani milk!! >> [14:37] <@MageRooster> The two boys get up and scurry off, their baseball forgotten. The scene changes, and the boys are in the woods nearby their field now. As they enter the woods, Joe presses his palms together and forms a ball of light, which he holds up to light their way. Continuing, they press forward eagerly to where the object fell... and then they stumble and stop, looking up. "That ain't no meteorite, Billy... let's get out of here!" "...m-maybe you're right!" [14:37] <%Quintessence> [Warning] MageRooster, your message was cut off! Here's where it ended: let's get out of here!" "...m-maybe you're right!" [14:38] <+Sarah> << oh man, is it The Forest of Death and Blood? I've heard of this place! >> [14:38] <@MageRooster> << Fate drops a pan on Sarah's head. >> [14:40] <+Sarah> << ita... T_T >> [14:41] <+Alex_Young> << uhh, should we post yet? >> [14:42] <+Sarah> << unlikely >> [14:42] <@MageRooster> The boys turn to escape the scene, only to find a pair of creatures not of this world guarding the way they came. Four-legged, it looks like a cross between a dog and a lizard. They run up to the boys and pin them down, sniffing. [14:43] <@MageRooster> Growling at the smell, they stare up at the object that fell... telepathically communicating to their masters. Billy: "Did you hear that, Joe? It sounded.... weird..." [14:44] <@MageRooster> A voice speaks from behind them... "The tainted specimins will be... clensed..." [14:44] <@MageRooster> (specimens) [14:45] <@MageRooster> The boys begin to struggle, but they're hauled away... to what the camera finally shows... a spaceship. Large, with many glowing lights. All but an open door is stealthed to blend into the forest itself. As the boys are hauled away into the spaceship, the camera pans away... settling on the forgotten baseball. [14:46] <@MageRooster> NOW you can be somewhere. It is the next morning, and everything seems normal. Where are you all? [14:47] <+LiraOrdin> << What time? >> [14:47] <+LiraOrdin> << Like, schooltime? >> [14:47] <+LiraOrdin> << And like, schoolday? >> [14:48] <@SachaMallory> << *snorts* >> [14:48] <@MageRooster> << Yes! >> [14:48] <+Alex_Young> << its january 2 i believe >> [14:48] <+Alex_Young> << since the date listed in sign ups is new years day >> [14:48] <@MageRooster> << ...why is it January 2? >> [14:48] <+Alex_Young> << and you just skipped a day >> [14:48] <@SachaMallory> << Doom! >> [14:49] <+Alex_Young> << this leads me to conclude its january 2 >> [14:49] <@MageRooster> << There's only one day on the signup, and that's a real date, not an in game one. :P >> [14:49] * @Applica is merely sitting down in the middle of a park, monitoring various wavelengths and frequencies. Mainly radio. [14:49] <@MageRooster> << Since that date is the date and time of session. >> [14:49] <+Alex_Young> The Progenitors, Part 1 [14:49] <+Alex_Young> What: Alien invasion? [14:49] <+Alex_Young> When: Thursday, January 11th, 2 Pacific, 5 Eastern [14:49] <+Alex_Young> Where: Sun City, New Years Day [14:49] <+Alex_Young> Players: Up to 5 (those in excess will be on the reserve list) [14:49] <+Alex_Young> << please notice the where >> [14:49] <+LiraOrdin> << Shit, she's right. >> [14:49] * +Sarah wakes up in her very small shadowy bed-thing set up in the hallway, she rolls out bed and it falls away into shadow [14:49] <+Sarah> << DETAILS! >> [14:49] <@MageRooster> << Oh... durr. That should not be there. It's an undefined day, I copied another session's format and forgot that bit. >> [14:50] <+Alex_Young> << ok :) >> [14:50] * +LiraOrdin is likely in school right now, though she still has her communicator and stuff! [14:50] <@MageRooster> << Sarah is... Midna? >> [14:51] <+Sarah> << Minda was an influence but she's diverged..... alot XD >> [14:51] <+Sarah> << more like alucard without the smoothness, or anita with some powers >> [14:51] <@MageRooster> The hallway of where, Sarah? [14:52] <+Sarah> << the (probably very crowded nowappartment >> [14:52] <@MageRooster> And what about you other two? [14:52] * @SachaMallory quietly speaks into a phone in French. His head bows low after a moment, as if burdened with news, before he quietly clicks it off. [14:52] * +Alex_Young was playing on fund raiser/party in downtown sun city and the party went on till morning. Needless to say Alex got himself a room to get some sleep during the day, hey he might not burst in to flame in the sun but still he'd rather spend it indoors then out, maybe it's because this city is called sun city but this much sun in the winter has to be un natural. [14:52] <+Alex_Young> However the scent of blood is in the air and something he saw yesterday in the sky is bothering him a litle. He is seen for a moment out on his balcony and overlooking sun city in rather unstylish pair of jeans and a yellow hoody before yawning. and turning back out of the room. he is seen leaving the hotel a few minutes later... [14:53] * @SachaMallory pushes himself off a wall and pockets the cell, picking up his violin case. Heading out of the alley, the boy considers food. [14:53] <@SachaMallory> << "A nice, tough rock sirloin would be good about now..." >> [14:53] <+Alex_Young> << sirloin? is that french fopr a sealion? >> [14:54] * +Sarah yawns and goes to get dressed... Muffins climbs out of the pool of shadow the bed collapsed into and sits outside the door [14:54] * Muffins (~Shingro@c-68-42-246-106.hsd1.mi.comcast.net) has joined #genesis [14:54] * MageRooster sets mode: +v Muffins [14:54] <@SachaMallory> << *punts Mai* >> [14:55] <+Sarah> << incedently how are powers viewed in the city anyway? >> [14:55] * @SachaMallory quietly heads off to a diner. [14:56] <@MageRooster> Those on the streets see a government broadcast from the White House on holovisions in the window. Those listening to the radio hear the audio of the broadcast. The kids in school get televisions wheeled from the corners of their classrooms. Those of you not near a television or radio don't hear it. [14:56] <+Alex_Young> << so shopping window with tv behind of it counts? >> [14:57] <@SachaMallory> << Well, lessee. Supers have been connected to a jewel heist, crime waves... >> [14:58] <+Alex_Young> << i'm sorry >> >> [14:58] <+Sarah> << but also the resolution of the same >> [14:58] * +LiraOrdin watches, very curious! [14:58] <@SachaMallory> << Oh, and random public property destruction. >> [14:58] <+Sarah> << we uh... we... hmmm >> [14:58] * Seth|Revision is now known as Seth|Bed [14:59] <+Sarah> << it was for a good cause! >> [14:59] <@SachaMallory> << :D >> [14:59] <+Alex_Young> << i'm not capable of public property destruction :o >> [14:59] <@MageRooster> The president is speaking, "Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to announce what may be the most important event in our nation's history. Today, a momentous event in history has occured. Unforeseeable and with unforeseen consequences, this event will mark a new era in the history of the world. However, I, as your president, hope that this is a positive sign of good things to come for us all." [14:59] <@SachaMallory> << ... I disagree. >> [14:59] <+Alex_Young> << ohh wait.. i can toss a 1 ton car nevermind >> [15:00] <+Alex_Young> << incidentaly, who is this slick and well spoken president that very clearly is not bush? >> [15:00] <@SachaMallory> << Anyone who isn't a Bush. >> [15:00] <@MageRooster> << Yes, anyone who isn't Bush. >> [15:00] <+Sarah> << all I can hear in my head is... "It's a cookbook!!!" >> [15:00] <+Alex_Young> << XD >> [15:01] <@Applica> << Heh. >> [15:01] <@MageRooster> "I wish to announce that we have made peaceful contact with an alien race." [15:01] * @SachaMallory frowns at the television, leaning forward at the English, "What is this president babbling about today..." [15:01] <+Alex_Young> "Most important event in the nations history? they made healthcare free?" [15:01] <@MageRooster> << PFFFT. >> [15:02] * @Applica frowns at that, idly running calculations through her head. [15:02] <+Alex_Young> "Aliens? hmm. Well i guess that either this is a good thing or i get to try a new cuisine. Either way I win." [15:02] * +LiraOrdin looks... very surprised at that. "Aliens?!" Because ohshit they're scary. [15:02] <@SachaMallory> << * Applica's brain says, "Fermi's Paradox." >> [15:02] * +Sarah gets herself set up and teleports to a random alleyway, carring the black violin [15:02] <+Sarah> << whowhat? >> [15:03] <@SachaMallory> << * Applica's brain also says, "Drake equation." >> [15:03] <@Applica> << Ahaha. XD >> [15:03] <+Alex_Young> << its the contradiction between how likely alien life is yet how litle evidence of intelligent life besides our own exists >> [15:04] <+Sarah> << 'm gonna wiki these when I'm more internety capableyou watch >> [15:04] <@SachaMallory> << And the Drake Equation is the equation by which you calculate the likelihood of alien civilizations existing and being able to communicate etc. >> [15:04] <+Sarah> << huh >> [15:04] * @SachaMallory sits there, eyes boggling. [15:05] <@SachaMallory> I don't count? [15:05] * +Alex_Young is just idly wondering if aliens taste good and if they have any blood to begin with [15:07] * +Sarah isn't sure what's going on on *this* earth, certainly not another [15:07] <@Applica> << If she was more human, she'd be going "Well, I have seen voidbeings, dragons, and evangelions. I guess aliens make sense. >> [15:07] <@MageRooster> "This alien race wishes us prosperity and happiness, and wish to help us with the current challenges our nation faces. This race calls themselves the Progenitors... and claim to be the cause of life on our planet." ( "Fuck, there goes my Christian vote next election...") "While these claims haven't been proven yet, they have demonstrated medical and technological knowledge far in advance of our own." [15:08] <@SachaMallory> << * A caption sign is held up, "Species, not race!" >> [15:08] <@Applica> << More like religious votes in general. >> [15:08] <@Applica> << Eiiiiinst\ >> [15:08] <@Applica> << Eiiiiiiiiinst >> [15:08] <@SachaMallory> << Eiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinst. >> [15:08] <+Sarah> << with just one of the many marvels they can actually make species sweat barbacue sauce! the applications are... well kinda frightening! >> [15:08] <+LiraOrdin> << Are they gonna turn one of us into Einst? And then make us fight Einst Jets? >> [15:09] <@Applica> << Do I get to make Rein Applica? >> [15:10] * Alicia (AliciaNeko@80-192-240-81.cable.ubr03.pres.blueyonder.co.uk) has joined #genesis [15:10] * MageRooster sets mode: +v Alicia [15:10] <+Sarah> << Sarah ........\ do I get to go back to my planet? >> [15:10] <+Alex_Young> << well fuck, does hat make me kyosuke because I'm not einstable but still so bishie they want me? >> [15:10] <+Alex_Young> << *gets shot* >> [15:10] <@MageRooster> << -.- >> [15:10] <@SachaMallory> << *pumps the shotgun* >> [15:10] <@Applica> << No, clearly that's uh... >> [15:11] <@Applica> << Cade. >> [15:11] <+Alicia> << Cade is Goku now? >> [15:11] <@SachaMallory> << SO ANYWAYS. >> [15:12] <@MageRooster> "Without further delay, I would like to introduce you to the spokesbeing of this race." Those who are watching and not just listening get a view of their first alien. The first thing you notice is that while they're grey, they're not the tabloid aliens with big eyes. [15:12] <@Applica> << Of course not, they're Protoss >> [15:12] <@Applica> << And that's Zeratul. >> [15:12] <@SachaMallory> << Wouldn't it be Aldaris? >> [15:12] <@Applica> << It's not like I ever played through SC's story modes. >> [15:13] <@Applica> << So I guess. >> [15:13] <@MageRooster> << It'd be that one guy who's hero unit is a scout... >> [15:13] <@MageRooster> << Who was only in the expansion. >> [15:14] <@SachaMallory> << Artanis. >> [15:14] <+Alex_Young> << maybe its a zentradi >> [15:14] <@SachaMallory> << http://www.pocketpcthemes.com/themes/preview/0/61090.jpg Hello! >> [15:14] <+Alex_Young> << some zentradi have freaky grey skin colors, some have green and stuff >> [15:15] * @SachaMallory reaches to touch his cell phone in his pocket thoughtfully... [15:17] <@MageRooster> This one in particular is only grey as a base color, with colorful patches of skin that make it seem... almost like the translucent color of fish scales, ranging from a base grey to a number of blues and greens especially in the face and extremities. Two arms and two legs, it's recognizably humanoid, dressed in a sort of toga. It's face has a mouth (Not a Protoss! see?!) and human-recognizable features, although the dimensions are a odd. [15:18] <+Alex_Young> "Looks more like a shiny zombie then an alien to me" [15:18] <+LiraOrdin> << So its the Tau. >> [15:18] * SethValentine (~guzuzer@m65-mp1.ppphg-08-manc.dial.ntli.net) has joined #genesis [15:18] * MageRooster sets mode: +v SethValentine [15:18] <+Sarah> << hush unit 01 >> [15:18] <+LiraOrdin> << ...

Every concievable alien has been done. :O >> [15:21] <+LiraOrdin> << I'm just joking, based on your "Not a Protoss!

"People of Earth, in the name of my people, I accept the welcome of your president. I have been told that much of your recreational media portrayed aliens as invaders and conquerers to be fought off. I assure you, we are not here to take over your world." A dry sort of alien sound that is quite possibly a laugh. [15:27] <@Applica> << "Just eradicate it. We got bored." >> [15:29] * +LiraOrdin considers those words... can she really believe them? after all, the fears of invasion can be justified but... are they? [15:31] * @SachaMallory listens to the people around him as he stares at the alien, frowning. [15:32] <@Applica> "This doesnt' seem right, if there was an advanced civilization to help humanity along, wars wouldn't have broken out and we wouldn't have to had colonize space... So I wonder wha--..." [15:32] <@MageRooster> "We seeded your world with life and watched it grow. We nursed it on a path that would lead to humanoid life, and then we watched you flower. But now, the flower has begun to wither. I have spoken with your leaders much over the last week, and they tell me that you are plagued by a new threat recently, one that harms you all. All we seek is to remove this threat and return your direction of growth to the proper path." [15:33] * @Applica pauses a moment, as pieces begin to fall into place. [15:33] * +Sarah closes her eyes [15:33] <+Sarah> ........... Another [15:33] <@Applica> "... This isn't good at all." [15:34] <+LiraOrdin> .oO( ... A new threat? ) [15:34] <@MageRooster> It waits for a moment of dramatic impact. "...these so-called 'altered'." [15:36] * +Alex_Young 's lips force a smile. .oO(This is fun, my existance once again is vieuwed as a sickness to be cut away. This time however i have the means to fight. My existance won't be taken away from me this time) alex punches at the brick wall with enough restraint not to punch a hole through it but still alieviate some pressure. [15:36] <@MageRooster> A citizen near Alex looks at him in disbelief... "Hey, what did you do that for?!" [15:36] <+Sarah> << XD >> [15:37] <@SachaMallory> "..." [15:37] * @SachaMallory leaves the diner, and picks up his cell phone, starting to call people. [15:39] <@MageRooster> The alien: "In conjunction with your government, we will work to eliminate this threat to your genetic purity and your way of life. The procedure to remove these genetic abnormalities in a subject is simple, painless and without risk. Those who find their powers a burden can turn themselves in at any center, which will be opened shortly across America, and soon in other countries." [15:39] <+Alex_Young> "It disgusts me. these guys are supposed to be the creators of our race? They are the once that get to judge who is unfit to live." he spits on the ground and holds up the cross hanging on a chain from his neck. "My god does not look like that, no idol statues will be made of my god so he has commanded. I don't accept this thing as my creator." [15:40] (( So, why are we playing Civil War, the game?)) [15:40] <+Alex_Young> << beats me >> [15:40] * @SachaMallory thinks to himself... "And if I need it to continue walking?" [15:40] <@Applica> << *waves a "Not a genetic abnormality" flag* >> [15:41] * @SachaMallory continues attempting to ring up other heroes! Or something. [15:41] <@Applica> << Need... features... levels... ._. >> [15:41] <+Alex_Young> << i don't think sacha has my number... right? >> [15:42] <@SachaMallory> << Applica, cell phones operate on radio waves. >> [15:42] <@SachaMallory> << And no, he doesn't. >> [15:42] <@MageRooster> The broadcast goes over a few more points and then ends, people everywhere begin discussing it... en masse.

I don't want to attack anyone who hasn't attacked us first, but... the aliens did seem to give a declaration of war." [15:57] <+Alicia> "Maybe the government won't take their side..."

[16:40] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "... ... indeed." [16:40] * +LiraOrdin nods at that, "Okay, I will!" [16:41] <+Athena> << And now Kiriko is truly a Shrinemaiden ^^; >> [16:41] * @Aurarminokenkalis looks to Sarah, then down below, "That will not be necessary." The dragon takes wing and flies low! [16:41] * +Sarah opens a 5x5 ft portal on the roof that leads to... the other side of the roof, opening a 'hole' in it [16:41] <@Aurarminokenkalis> << So Applica was off digging the internet for information while we plan to be insane... >> [16:41] <+Sarah> << incedently, before I close that, what do I see? >> [16:42] <@Applica> << She followed, but she's not going to be too far off. >> [16:42] <@Aurarminokenkalis> << Of course. >> [16:42] <@Applica> << Like, at the nearby cyber-cafe. >> [16:42] <@MageRooster> << The message boards are full of white noise right now. And by white noise, I mean people. >> [16:42] <@MageRooster> << I guess some of them are black noise... >> [16:42] <@Applica> << I'm going to be utilizing a lot of Take 20s, since I can do them every turn. >> [16:42] <@Aurarminokenkalis> << And yellow and red noise, man. >> [16:42] <@MageRooster> << Yes. >> [16:42] <+Sarah> << message boards? >> [16:43] <@MageRooster> << Sarah's looking inside, during day hours? >> [16:43] <@Applica> << In particular, I'll be filtering out stuff that relates to "new buildings" "centers" and the like. >> [16:43] <+Sarah> << yeah, real quickly >> [16:43] * @Aurarminokenkalis sits his massive dragon-bulk outside the processing center on a street corner and simply rumbles. [16:44] * @Aurarminokenkalis looks around to see if there are any official-types while he does! [16:45] <+Sarah> << everything all at once eh Rooster? XD >> [16:45] <@MageRooster> << You find the website, which is well-designed and contains no pop-ups! It even has little PDF guide you can download about how to tell if you have mutant powers and what you can do to become normal again before they take over your life. >> [16:45] <@Applica> << I can't datalink to capture their buildings, can I Roo? XD >> [16:45] <@Applica> << "I'll be in and out!" >> [16:45] <@MageRooster> << It's all a mash right now, yes. >.> >> [16:46] <@Applica> "Hmm..." [16:46] <@MageRooster> << Sarah: You see a couple aliens inside... one looks similar to the one on TV, but another looks... plainer. No colored scales. >> [16:46] * @Applica decides to scan through the pdf and store the entire website in a databank. [16:46] * +Sarah waves [16:47] <@MageRooster> << There's a listing of all the centers that are open now, and a list of states that will have them soon. >> [16:47] * +LiraOrdin looks to Sacha, "... Should I transform? Does it really matter?" [16:47] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "... I do not think that would be wise." [16:48] <+Sarah> .............. my friend would like to speak to you, he's outside... [16:48] * @Aurarminokenkalis drums his claws patiently, "But we shall see." He continues looking. [16:48] <@MageRooster> << Who has unresolved actions now? >> [16:48] <@Aurarminokenkalis> << Me and my "sign." That is, me. >> [16:48] <+Alex_Young> << o/ >> [16:49] <@MageRooster> << ...what are you two up to? >> [16:49] * +Alex_Young would head down to the street level with Sacha to protest i gues? [16:50] * @Aurarminokenkalis is standing outside, looking for an official type, and generally being a big frickin' gold dragon parked in the middle of humanity, kinda waiting for someone to formally complain to. [16:50] <+Sarah> << and I am talking to the three aliens, letting them know they have a visitor =P >> [16:50] <@MageRooster> One of the human workers comes up to the door... "Oh my... have you come for the procedure?" [16:51] * +Alex_Young smells at the guy to see if he smells like a human. which would yes seem pretty creepy to the guy [16:51] * @Aurarminokenkalis looks to the worker, "I have come to complain." [16:51] <+Sarah> << incedently did any of the alien's leave? >> [16:51] <+LiraOrdin> << Back. >> [16:52] * +LiraOrdin nods at that response, [16:52] * +LiraOrdin nods at that response, "Well... you transformed." She murmurs. [16:52] <@MageRooster> << They're still there. >> [16:52] <@MageRooster> "Complain? What about?" [16:52] <+Alex_Young> << is he really human roo :o? >> [16:53] <@MageRooster> << Yes. >> [16:53] <+Alex_Young> << or do i smells any funny stuff :o? >> [16:53] <@MageRooster> << SHE is human, but yes. >> [16:53] * Yanbetari (Yanbetari@vrnawihed51-pool11-a105.vrnawi.tds.net) has joined #genesis [16:53] * MageRooster sets mode: +v Yanbetari [16:54] <+Alex_Young> << is she a virgin that i can turn into a vampire companion as a protest? *SHOT* >> [16:54] <+LiraOrdin> << *stabs!* >> [16:54] <+Sarah> << *crushes >> [16:54] <+Alex_Young> << oww >< damnit that was my spleen! >> [16:55] <+Alex_Young> "Young lady, we'd like to see the people in charge here. This aliens that might have a cure for our grievous conditions. Could you please introduce us to them?" [16:56] <@MageRooster> "Well, we're a bit busy, but I'm sure one of them can arrange to meet you if you're wanting to become normal again." [16:56] * @Aurarminokenkalis rumbles, his voice carrying as he speaks, "I protest! I am a sentient being, and I have a right to exist. I will not be exterminated like an unintelligent pest, and neither will I be forced to receive medication. You and the organization you represent have no right to force another to do this, and I will not submit quietly." [16:56] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "I call myself Aurarminokenkalis, and I, and those who stand beside me, will not be abused like dogs." [16:57] <@MageRooster> The girl looks at Aura blankly... going "huh?" [16:57] <+Sarah> ............. see now he's upset, you should really talk to him I think [16:58] * @Aurarminokenkalis leans forward to the girl, looking eye to eye, "Then I will simply quote another time for you." [16:58] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "Hell, no, we won't go." [16:58] * @Aurarminokenkalis sits back, and rumbles dragonly. [16:59] * +Alex_Young flashes his killer bishie smile. "Let me spell it out for you young lady. We are of the opinion that the only ones who would like to be normal again are people who have no desires to abuse their powers for evil. And we believe that your alien friends have the ulterior motive of offering this treatment so those with the power to stop them if they invade lose that power." [16:59] <@MageRooster> "...oh! You're protesting the treatment? I assure you, I've watched a dozen people go through it. It's a simple procedure, and while you have to recover for a day or so, it isn't inhumane at all." [16:59] * +LiraOrdin giggles at that softly, "Yeah. We won't go!" Though she seems pretty nervous! [17:00] <+Alex_Young> "So if this treatment is forcerd on us i ask you, what insurances have you that those who use their powers for evil, or your alien friends. will not destroy the world you live in?" [17:00] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "I care not. I will not be 'removed.'" [17:00] <@MageRooster> A young man walks past them, looking a little woozy, but happy. [17:00] <@MageRooster> "Oh, the supervillains like that one girl who tried to steal that artifact? The police will catch them eventually and their punishment will be the removal of their powers..." [17:01] <+Alex_Young> "and what happens to those of us who die without their powers young lady?" [17:02] <@MageRooster> "People die every day... and with the help of our new friends, we can fight that death even better with more advanced medical knowledge!" [17:02] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "At the price of our freedom of choice." [17:02] <@Applica> << dumb npc is duuumb. >> [17:02] <+Alex_Young> "Will you take away the second life god has given us just because you believe that we should die?" [17:02] <+Sarah> << since the aliens I'm talking to are comatose I'll rearange the portal to take me to the ground area >> [17:03] * +Sarah drops out of a waist level portal ".......... I would be dead many times over without my abilities.... others too.... [17:03] <+Alex_Young> "No if you believe our life is so worthless that we should just accept death how about i grant you my unlife and see what you do?" [17:03] <+LiraOrdin> "Me too. Even if my powers are a nuisance, they saved my life." [17:04] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "My life depends on being as I am." [17:04] <@MageRooster> "...death? You were the ones who brought up people dying. Our procedure is perfectly safe!" [17:04] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "I will NOT be reduced to less." [17:04] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "And the people who survive only because of their new abilities?" [17:05] * +Alex_Young bows and grins his fangs bare " I died young lady, i died to be given a new life by god. if you take my powers away i die again but this time i will die because humans like you have murdered me. Can you live with that?" [17:05] <@MageRooster> "..." She retreats inside. Obviously, these people are unreasonable. You can see her talking to one of the aliens through the glass front. [17:05] * @Aurarminokenkalis snorts and shakes his head. [17:06] <@Aurarminokenkalis> << Hey, we haven't shot at anyone yet. :P >> [17:06] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "... I feel they are about to escalate." [17:06] <+Alex_Young> "Hmpff, you see how far beeing reasonable with these people takes us dragons. If they attack us now you have no complaint if i devour the girl do you?" [17:06] <+Alex_Young> << *dragon not dragons >> [17:07] <+LiraOrdin> "... Don't hurt her. I doubt SHE'LL hurt us." [17:07] <@MageRooster> The colorful alien comes out. "Excuse me, is there a problem?" [17:07] * @Aurarminokenkalis is about to exhort people in the street with his rumbling voice, but turns to the alien. [17:07] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "Yes. You have promised our 'removal.' We will not stand for it." [17:08] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "And even if you pass this off as a perfectly safe, medical treatment, we in the United States are entitled to refuse medicine at our preference!" [17:08] <@Applica> << so says the frenchman. >> [17:09] <@Applica> << Well, Canadian. >> [17:09] <@Aurarminokenkalis> << "I watched Law & Order, okay? T_T" >> [17:09] <+Sarah> << XD >> [17:09] <+Alex_Young> "As i explained to your colleague. i demand to know why you believe its alright to remove these powers if that will kill us" [17:09] * +LiraOrdin nods at that, "It is our right!" [17:11] <@Aurarminokenkalis> << It just occurred to me. Odds are good that Applica is watching live streaming webcam of this. XD >> [17:11] <@MageRooster> "Oh my, you all do like to talk at once, don't you? Is this normal for your kind? Perhaps you'd best come inside to discuss this." [17:11] <@Applica> << I very well could be, yes. >> [17:11] <@Applica> << And am, likely. Quickness 6, <3 >> [17:11] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "I will stand on soil where Man is sovereign." [17:11] <+LiraOrdin> << People call this... a PROTEST! >> [17:11] <+Alex_Young> "I challenge your statements that you created us humans. Show me the proof alien." he holds up his necklace with the cross. "Show me the proof that my god is a fallacy and this cross means nothing." [17:11] <+LiraOrdin> "This is a protest... of we we all talk at once." [17:12] <+Sarah> .............. unkind.... [17:12] <@MageRooster> "You can't comply with even a simple request? Stubborn ones, aren't you?" [17:13] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "Indeed." [17:13] <+Alex_Young> "I'll go inside with you." [17:13] <+LiraOrdin> "I wouldn't..." She murmurs to Alex. [17:13] * @Aurarminokenkalis murmurs in a lowered tone to Alex, "You throw caution to the winds." [17:14] <+Sarah> ...... I will go with everyone [17:14] <+Alex_Young> "If they can truelly cure me without killing me. I desire that but i will not take it unless they can proof me i have no god. I'm already half dead, caution at this point is something i can't afford. " [17:15] <+Sarah> ..... but everything will be seen... to be fair... [17:15] <@MageRooster> "Then please leave. Your time for processing will come soon enough. The taint inside you will drive you to commit acts that break your kind's laws, for the laws are written for normal people and not what you call the Altered. You will sooner or later wish to be normal." It turns to look at Alex. "Is it so difficult to accept that we, collectively, ARE your god?" [17:15] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "..." [17:16] <+LiraOrdin> "... Is that so? It will force us to break the law?" [17:16] * @Aurarminokenkalis looks to Sarah, "You will allow us to watch him?" [17:16] <+Sarah> .... I can keep a portal open... people can see through it [17:17] * @Aurarminokenkalis then looks up to disagree, "I doubt you even understand what I am. No, I am not convinced you know me." [17:17] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "Perhaps I will break the law, but many ordinary people break the law for ordinary reasons." [17:17] <+Alex_Young> "My god has give me ten laws, one of them is that never we may make an idol of him on this earth. Your very presence contradicts his commandments. You cannot be my god. Denying his existance i might have believed you. but claiming you are my god is impossible." [17:17] * Avitar (~bitz@c-24-7-201-100.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer) [17:18] <@Aurarminokenkalis> << So the Goa'uld show up and say... >> [17:19] <+Sarah> ............... everyone has the right to their own lives...

"We do not tolerate threats. I assure you, whatever powers your mutation has granted you, they will not be of use if you attack us." [17:22] * @Aurarminokenkalis snorts, "Oh really." [17:22] <+Alex_Young> "Really? Immortality seems a very potent power." [17:22] <+Sarah> ....... I am not a mutation.. [17:22] <+Alex_Young> "Considering you are shaking at the notion of me eating you i doubt you have that luxury" [17:23] <+LiraOrdin> "I don't know... My power might be something of a use..." [17:23] * +Alex_Young licks his tongue around his fangs. "I smell your fear." [17:23] <+Sarah> ......... I am not 'wrong' or 'evil' I simply want to help my friends... [17:23] <@MageRooster> "Your powers are an abnormality that should not exist. In any case, either come inside and submit to the treatment or leave." [17:23] <@MageRooster> It goes back inside. [17:24] * @Aurarminokenkalis simply sits outside and exhorts people in the street about the dangers of Greeks bearing gifts. [17:25] * @Applica watches from streaming video feeds. And finishes up her collection of information. [17:25] <@MageRooster> The other one comes outside... the one that isn't colorful. "Come, come... we have room to process you now."

You claim we will become criminal, yet many of us take great care to obey the law." [17:30] <+Alex_Young> "I believe that our intial assumption was corrected. They want to get rid of any possible resitance before taking over. It explains their fear towards us despite beeing a more technologicly advanced race they are apparently still vonerable enough to die against beeing such as us." [17:30] <@Applica> << I did say that. >> [17:30] * +Alex_Young is whispering obviously [17:30] <@Applica> << Well, not quite like that... >> [17:30] <@MageRooster> "Inconcievable. Surely you hate your taint and wish to be normal once more." This one is gruff and impolite in ways the others aren't. "Come now... others are waiting."

Further, I am not so lonely as I was now. No, I think I am quite fine with, thank you very much." [17:31] <+LiraOrdin> "I... don't think my body will be able to handle losing my... powers.

[17:32] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "How I was, was quite useless." [17:32] <@Aurarminokenkalis> "No, I don't think so." [17:33] * @Aurarminokenkalis continues, "Besides..." He pauses momentarily, before then resuming, "This has done me no harm..." [17:34] <+Alex_Young> "I died of severe anemia. I coughed up nearly all my blood and died. Without this power I will die." [17:34] <@MageRooster> He sighs and holds up a device that looks strangely menacing with blinking lights and everything and points it at... the dragon!

In an instant, a large burst of smoke can be seen spiraling from the top of a rooftop, a myriad of small missiles heading straight for all of them.
