The Tattoos and the DB

[Dagget]

[Arriving in Tir]
Salliesue: Make it go away!!!!
Nulion: Are you okay?? *looks at Salliesue, worriedly*
Dagget: what?
Hyperiondoc: what happened!
Salliesue: my arms! i can't scrub them off!
Salliesue: cries
Nutmeg: hands Compassion to Salliesue
Nulion: ....her arms..
Hyperiondoc: Commander Adama is my brother i am a doctor
Dagget: they are tattoos
Nutmeg: frowns
Hyperiondoc: takes a close look
Salliesue: sobs in her hands
Tyma: No...
Dagget: we were talking about this yesterday
Nutmeg: Can I see them, Sweetheart?
Nulion: Don't...don't be scared, Salliesue...We're still here for you....
Dagget: we realized the bruises were in the same places that shades have their tattoos
Salliesue: but but but...
Nutmeg: takes a picture of Salliesue's arms
Dagget: and it appears to have been the correct guess
Salliesue: the cream rawenna gave me...it made them go away....
Nutmeg: gives Salliesue a warm hug
Tyma: This very strange
Nutmeg: Do you still have some of the cream?
Nulion: Cream? We'll need to get some more of it...
Salliesue: sniffles
Dagget: they will come back, though
Tyma: glances at her comm
Dagget: we need to figure out the whole story
Tyma: Lady Rawenna's comm isnt active
Salliesue: but...they aren't bruises any more!
Dagget: Nulion and Markonen did some research yesterday
Nulion: ....Do they hurt, sweetie?
Dagget: your parents are listed in some omni databases but not you
Salliesue: shakes her head
Nulion: Okay....at least they don't hurt...That's good.
Salliesue: but...it's black
Dagget: we are wondering if one of your parents migth be part shade...
Hyperiondoc: I just got a comunicae from Rawenna she is unable to come at this time she is in a pitched battle in another part of the world
Dagget: she will be here as soon as Ian Warr is taken down
Nulion: Well, we'll have to make do until she arrives.
Salliesue: rocks back and forth
Hyperiondoc: Unforunatly i am still learning my trade there might not be much i can do...
Nulion: Don't you worry, Salliesue...we're all over this, I promise
Nutmeg: gives Salliesue a kiss on the forehead
Nutmeg: Salliesue? Do you see Compassion smiling at you?
Tiili: Hello there, little one *smiles*
Nutmeg: Your tattoos, don't change you you are. You'll be fine, even if they don't go away.
Salliesue: sniffles and smiles at Compassion
Tiili: I have wanted so long to meet you
Dagget: Spidey is a shade in my guild, and may know a little about the tattoos
Salliesue: smiles nervously
Nulion: looks at Spidey
Nutmeg: If you have some questions about them, maybe Spidey can help you, Salliesue.
Nulion: With....with -that- many tattoos, I'd say Spidey knows a lot...*smile*
Spidey: hi
Salliesue: takes a deep breath, why are they appearing on me?
Tyma: turns to Spidey
Spidey: it's fun actually
Salliesue: squints her eyes
Dagget: we think you are part shade
Tiili: Hello, Nulion *smiles warmly*
Salliesue: She's not a bad shade...
Nulion: smiles a bit at Tiili
Tyma: No shes not
Salliesue: part shade?
Dagget: shades normally do not go thru pain and bruises before their tattos appear
Hyperiondoc: My brother has told me all he can about this. You would know him as Commander Adama unfortunatly i have no ideas on how this could happen
Dagget: but we really need to locate your parents to question them
Salliesue: so what's wrong with me?
Nutmeg: If you were a shade, Salliesue, would you be a bad shade? *Smile* I don' think so. Cause you're such a good girl.
Spidey: im a exibitionist
Dagget: there may be nothing 'wrong' with you Salliesue
Salliesue: smiles
Tiili: hmm
Dagget: but our scans show you are not a normal shade, you seem human for the most part
Salliesue: nods
Nulion: takes a close look at Salliesue's tattoos, being very gentle
Salliesue: both my parents are adventurers as far as i know
Dagget: yes, and that is all we have found
Tyma: Has anyone been to Wine lately?
Dagget: but someone or something has done something to make you start to become at least part shade
Tiili: Has anyone seen any shades recently?
Dagget: yesterday
Salliesue: they said that omni was bad, so i don't know why they are in an omni system...
Hyperiondoc: Recently my brother was i just got a mail from him but nothing about any shades
Dagget: door moves but no entry
Tiili: where?
Tiili: hmmm
Tiili: ok
Nulion: Omni-Tek seems to have everything in their system...
Spidey: ill be back
Dagget: Markonen and Nulion snuck into Omni-1 for some research last night
Nulion: Your parents were top secret information though...Markonen and I tried to get some information, but Markonen's friend wasn't home and we couldn't get past the password..
Salliesue: gasps
Tiili: How'd it go?
Hyperiondoc: I see...
Tiili: hmm
Hyperiondoc: I have no fixers that can help at the moment unforuntatly....
Nulion: It's not something a fixer can hack.
Tiili: So where is Markonen this eve?
Dagget: but do not worry Salliesue, we don't think you are in immediate danger...you might even feel slightly better now that the tattos are there and boosting your system
Tiili: Anyone seen him?
Dagget: haven't seen him yet
Tiili: ok
Tyma: shakes her head
Salliesue: I don't know...
Nulion: It was top secret admin-class information...The kind of stuff only the highest of the high-ups would have access to.
Dagget: the question is, is this an accident or planned?
Hyperiondoc: if my friends couldnt hack it there is no one in the galaxy who could Nulion
Hyperiondoc: nods
Dagget: and if planned, by whom, and what do her parents know about it all?
Hyperiondoc: Dagget is right though
Nulion: Hopefully Markonen hasn't taken another trip back to Omni-1....it was too dangerous.
Tiili: *shivers*
Salliesue: I hope not
Tyma: He wouldn't go alone
Tyma: would he?
Hyperiondoc: No he knows better
Dagget: how do you feel today Salliesue?
Salliesue: starts to cry again
Tiili: Oh my Lord..
Nutmeg: Awww... Sallie
Tiili: Sorry Sallie
Salliesue: other than scared?
Nutmeg: offers her hand to Salliesue
Dagget: Markonen is probably sleeping, he was up all last night
Tyma: Its ok Sallie
Tiili: I didn't mean to scare you
Salliesue: takes nutmeg's hand
Tiili: gives sallie a cuddle
Tyma: Taking deep breaths will help Sallie
Dagget: I see Rawenna approaching
Salliesue: smiles a bit
Nulion: smiles
Tiili: smiles
Nutmeg: Sallie, you'll be ok. Tattoos aren't always horrible. Arent Spidey's pretty?
Salliesue: Markonen said he is on his way, the guards heard me scream and they all contacted him

Salliesue: nods
Hyperiondoc: *nods*
Nulion: looks relieved
Rawenna: Hello Salliesue
Dagget: she has tattos on her arms now, Rawenna
Nulion: Good to see you again, Rawenna...
Nutmeg: Right were the bruises were yesterday.
Tiili: Greeting, Rawenna
Salliesue: blushes at them
Rawenna: Can I see your arms Salliesue?
Hyperiondoc: Greetings Rawenna i am the brother of Commander 'Hyperion5182' Adama He has told me much about you
Rawenna: studies the tatoos
Dagget: unusual ones, too
Rawenna: Very.
Dagget: do you recognize those tattoos Spidey?
Spidey: yeah kinda
Rawenna: scans the skin with the tatoos and takes holoimages
Spidey: like that tat
Salliesue: giggles
Dagget: but in a different location
Dagget: well, at least she does not seem to be in pain today
Dagget: that is an improvement
Tyma: nods
Hyperiondoc: Yes it is
Nulion: smiles a bit
Rawenna: Still have some bruises Salliesue?
Dagget: but we need to find out how she came to be this way
Nulion: Dagget, I have a very good feeling that information will be found in Omni-1...
Rawenna: gives Salliesue a small jag of lotion
Hyperiondoc: they way you were talking though Nulion it seems only Ross might have the key to those files....
Salliesue: smiles and rubs it on
Nulion: It sure seemed like it did Hyperion...
Dagget: no, that Dr. Evans would
Nulion: Someone high ranking.
Nulion: Very. High.
Tyma: Im thinking Omni-Med...
Hyperiondoc: Evans...
Nulion: Evans is the best bet, yes...
Hyperiondoc: Doesnt have the right to call himself a doctor!
Tyma: smiles
Salliesue: om is omni-med for short isn't it?
Hyperiondoc: How dare he violate the oaths of our group!
Rawenna: gives Salliesue a Muffin Cake
Nutmeg: Yes, Salliesue, it could be.
Nulion: We don't know anything concrete, Hyperion...it can't help to throw blame out like that...
Dagget: well, in the meantime we need to monitor Salliesue, but she seems to actually be getting a bit better now
Tyma: Ive never heard it abbreviated like that...
Tyma: But it could be
Hyperiondoc: I am not throwing out blame
Nulion: smiles a bit
Hyperiondoc: i am talking about that Demon's past actions!
Salliesue: on the white suits, do they say OM on them?
Nutmeg: hands Salliesue a new Compassion
Nulion: I understand Hyperion, I'm just saying....We need to find concrete info.
Dagget: yes
Tyma: Yes, they do actually
Salliesue: smiles at Compassion
Nulion: smiles at Compassion as well
Hyperiondoc: nods
Tyma: I think so
Tyma: thinks
Hyperiondoc: ya mean that?
Tyma: Sallie...do you remember those suits?
Salliesue: my dream...the white room, the white suits...they said...OM...
Rawenna: hugs Salliesue
Tyma: frowns
Dagget: she remembered them when she say Markonen in one
Nulion: OM? Omni-Med?
Tyma: Yes Nulion
Tyma: I think so
Nulion: nods
Hyperiondoc: Salliesue did the suits look like this?
Hyperiondoc: That says enough
Salliesue: y-yes
Dagget: ok, so perhaps Omni-Med did experiments to cause Salliesue to be this way...what do we do?
Nutmeg: nods
Nutmeg: What else do you remember about this dream, Sallie?
Nulion: Perhaps a reversal is mentioned along with that info we need...
Tyma: Maybe another voyage into Omni-1?
Tyma: If Markonen still has contacts down there
Dagget: Markonen is best suited for that
Tyma: Yes
Tyma: He'll need help though
Nulion: And I'll accompany him...I don't want him alone
Dagget: he knows the place like the back of his hand
Hyperiondoc: My brother will i can guarntee that
Salliesue: i was in a white room...there was shiney metal things all around me...i had a bright light in my eyes....
Nutmeg: nods listening closely to Salliesue
Nulion: looks up at Salliesue
Rawenna: I think Nuli and Markonen should go in again.
Hyperiondoc: accesses his comm unit
Nutmeg: Go on, Sweetie.
Tyma: Yes
Salliesue: it hurt...
Nulion: The light hurt..?
Hyperiondoc: "Adama they need you in Backyard 11 Get up here"
Hyperiondoc: Adama should be able to help more than i can
Nutmeg: Sallie.. Some time, when we're in a very quiet place, I might be able to help you remember safely. Would you like that?
Salliesue: nods at nutmeg
Tyma: If you're going to go into Omni-1 again, i think you'd best take a Fixer
Nutmeg: I could help with that, honey. But we'll have to be in a very quiet place.
Dagget: we can discuss that when Markonen gets here
Tyma: nods
Nulion: We have to travel light there...the only way to travel is on foot, and concealed. BUt for now, we should just worry about her..
Nulion: rubs Salliesue's shoulder, reassuringly
Nutmeg: We could try here.. But everyone around will need to listen, and only whisper. Do you want to try?
Salliesue: stares off into the distance
Rawenna: We can go into my office if you lie, it's moer quiet there
Salliesue: one held my hand...
Nutmeg: nods
Nutmeg: Sallie... Look deeply into Compassion's eyes.. And let yourself relax....
Salliesue: one was saying something about his tattoos...i think
Nutmeg: This man, in the white suit had tattoos?
Tyma: She's remembering...
Dagget: let her talk for now...she is recalling a bit
Salliesue: does as she's told
Salliesue: I can't see him very well, the light is in my eyes
Nutmeg: Did he say anything to you?
Tyma: nods at Hyperion
Hyperion5182: runs in you can see strange colors of blood on him
Salliesue: no...the light started to fade after a while...and i...i don't remember the rest...
Nutmeg: comforts Salliesue
Tyma: sighs
Salliesue: blinks and shakes her head
Nulion: stays quiet, thinking to himself...
Rawenna: hugs Salliesue
Dagget: I think we have gotten about all we can from the child
Rawenna: It's alright sweetie.
Nutmeg: claps her hand
Dagget: we need to look elsewhere now for more pieces to the puzzle
Nutmeg: You're all fine, now. And wide awake.
Salliesue: smiles
Nutmeg: No nasty men are here. Only silly ones.
Nulion: We're here all the way, Salliesue...*smile*
Nutmeg: giggles
Tyma: smiles
Salliesue: giggles
Dagget: you could turn into a leet, Salliesue, then you wouldn't have to look at the tattoos
Hyperion5182: laughs
Rawenna: tickles Salliesue
Nutmeg: smiles
Nulion: grins
Salliesue: much better
Dagget: there, now she can think about leet things
Nutmeg: Wee, a family of leets!
Tyma: One big happy Leet family
Nulion: Mmm...leet kibble
Salliesue: giggles
Tyma: nibbles on Salliesues tail
Salliesue: tries to attack that darn flea
Rawenna: Nuli, will you stop thinking with your stomach?
Nulion: chuckles
Nulion: Well, that's what leets think about, isn't it? *laughs*
Nutmeg: Leet's have a party.
Tyma: turns to Henry and trims him quickly
Dagget: should we wait her for Markonen or go for a swim?
Nutmeg: Is there a pool near by?
Salliesue: can we go for a swim?
Rawenna: Sure
Dagget: Lets!
Rawenna: smiles
Nutmeg: Yay.. Swimming!
Salliesue: squeeks happily
Tyma: sighs
Dagget: we'll swim in the aquifier

[leet parade to the Aquifier]
Nutmeg: Squeek
Salliesue: squeeks
Nutmeg: chirps
Hyperion5182: can that bot swim?
Salliesue: giggles
Tyma: You'll see
Nulion: Here we go! *smiles*
Tyma: Henry can walk on water
Dagget: whee!
Nutmeg: spashes
Salliesue: giggles at the silly Henry robot
Nulion: grins
Nulion: Swimming never gets old!
Tyma: He has little raft-like objects on the bottom of his feet
Tyma: smiles
Nutmeg: wishes she could roll in the water
Hyperion5182: Nope i am going to go keep an eye out on Markonen
Salliesue: does too
Nulion: Markonen will contact us when he can....Don't worry *smile*
Nulion: gets a message on his leet-comm, and gasps
Nutmeg: bumps noses with Salliesue
Tyma: Nulion?
Salliesue: squeeks
Dagget: Dust Brigade in OA
Tyma: Oh dear
Nulion: Dust brigade? Oh no...
Nutmeg: I will stay with Salliesue.. Never trust the dusters.
Salliesue: dust brigade?
Nulion: They're bad men, Salliesue...
Dagget: some rebel outfit that attacks the cities now and then
Salliesue: oh
Tyma: I should go
Nulion: I....have to go and take care of this, Salliesue...don't worry, I'll be back *smile*
Dagget: someone stay with Salliesue
Tyma: Ill be back also

Elosun: Omni lasted longer. MUCH longer.
Revoria: you have 10 seconds to leave the area before you die!
Elosun: If you can't put up a good fight, just go home. You are only embarassing yourselves
Revoria: Stand and fight, Cowards!
Thyger: we are home
Elosun: yea, I guess you are used to living in the streets
Painlance: who the **** is this guy?

Forbrena: Indeed it was, all's well that ends dead!

[back in Tir]
Nutmeg: Hi, Daggie
Dagget: hello
Nutmeg: giggles
Salliesue: did you get them?
Dagget: was fighting the Dust Brigade in Old Athens
Dagget: no
Nutmeg: Salliesue, Can I use Compassion for a moment?
Dagget: they are very strong
Salliesue: nods
Nutmeg: See? Daggie is already feeling better. Compassion is wonderful.
Dagget: but I am here to watch over you
Dagget: as Nutmeg needs to go
Nutmeg: nods
Salliesue: smiles
Dagget: they are sending people to reclaim if they come near the grid
Nutmeg: I do need to go, Sweetheart. But you'll be safe with Uncle Daggie here.
Salliesue: Ok
Nutmeg: offers Salliesue a huge hug
Dagget: has she had any useful information?
Dagget: or new stories?
Salliesue: hugs back
Nutmeg: Yes. She likes the stars.. And she knows her parent's name, even though they called themselves Mom and Dad.
Dagget: you covered up the tattoos?
Nutmeg: And there was a woman in the white room, trying to comfort her.
Nutmeg: But, I do need to scoot.
Dagget: yes, I checked their names...not in public listings
Dagget: smiles at Nutmeg
Salliesue: what does that mean?
Nutmeg: Good night, you two...
Salliesue: Night Nutmeg
Dagget: it means they were maybe doing something secret
Salliesue: Oh
Dagget: or that someone is trying to hide that they exist
Dagget: we are not sure
Salliesue: why would they do that?
Dagget: whoever did this to you was probably doing something illegal
Dagget: adn they were trying to hide the fact
Salliesue: frowns
Dagget: but we will solve the puzzle in time, I am sure
Salliesue: nods
Dagget: at least you seem to be ok
Salliesue: smiles
Dagget: hiding the tattoos or did they give you cream to make them go away for a while?
Dagget: smiles at salliesue
Salliesue: no... still there, maybe my dollies are hiding them
Dagget: my eyes may be blurry from the fighting earlier
Salliesue: nods
Salliesue: rolls her sleeves down
Dagget: so you feel better after the swim?
Salliesue: yes
Salliesue: much
Dagget: good
Dagget: as strange as this is, I think you will be ok
Salliesue: I hope so
Dagget: did your parents have any friends? Perhaps they may have an idea of where theya re
Salliesue: i don't know...
Dagget: hmmm...
Dagget: thinks
Dagget: besides the doctor you used to have, do you remember anyone from here?
Salliesue: shakes her head
Dagget: well, you were very small then, of course
Dagget: have you gone into the entertainment park?
Salliesue: no, not yet
Dagget: the animals there are small and should not hurt you.
Dagget: you may find it interesting sometime
Dagget: there is even a waterfall
Salliesue: smiles
Dagget: and a big guard to protect people
Salliesue: sounds pretty
Dagget: what did you like the best about the Shadowlands?
Salliesue: the silvertails, they were so pretty, and friendly
Dagget: yes, they are
Dagget: the white birds are pretty, too, I think
Salliesue: nods
Salliesue: they like to play tag
Salliesue: giggles
Dagget: so you never met any shade in elysium?
Dagget: tag, yes, hehe
Salliesue: shakes her head
Dagget: well, you got to meet Spider briefly tonight
Salliesue: nods
Dagget: and she is very nice
Salliesue: she was nice
Dagget: with a sense of humor
Salliesue: giggles
Dagget: the tattos give shades power, hopefully they are the same for you
Salliesue: nods
Dagget: I wonder where Markonen is?
Dagget: he is always watching over you now, normally
Salliesue: he may have gone digging for information again...i know he is very concerned
Dagget: yes, he is
Dagget: but I hope he did not go alone
Salliesue: me too
Dagget: but he does know his way around those omni cities
Salliesue: yes
Dagget: so hopefully, he will find out more about you or your parents
Salliesue: i hope so
Dagget: so you once had a pet kitty, did you mention?
Salliesue: yes
Salliesue: Tygra
Dagget: big like we can be? or small?
Salliesue: big
Salliesue: she carried me on her back sometimes
Dagget: I bet he ate a lot
Dagget: nice!
Dagget: smiles
Salliesue: giggles
Salliesue: she ate almost my weight in food
Dagget: everyone else is fighting the Dust Brigade now...
Dagget: they won't go away
Salliesue: it's ok
Dagget: they sent me to reclaim 4 times already
Salliesue: at least they aren't coming here
Salliesue: gasps
Salliesue: Are you ok?
Dagget: no, they were here several months ago, though
Dagget: yes, now I am
Salliesue: I want to go kick them...they sound mean!
Dagget: we wish they would just disappear
Dagget: they are mean and tough
Salliesue: nods
Dagget: and many of our people are off elsewhere, in the Shadowlands, or fighting dragons
Dagget: Hello James
Salliesue: smiles at Markonen

Dagget: we have developments
Markonen: looks frazzled
Markonen: What the hell happened?
Dagget: several things
Nulion: huffs, holding a wound on his shoulder
Dagget: at the moment most people are in Old Athens fighting the Dust Brigade
Salliesue: looks at Nulion concerned
Nulion: We....got rid of them, they're gone...
Dagget: and Sara now has tattoos, as you thought might happen
Nulion: pulls out a stim, turning away from Salliesue to administer it
Markonen: I knew they hit Omni so I headed there. Was an oppurtunity to sneak into Omni-Med.
Markonen: I didnt know they were here as well.
Dagget: hehe
Nulion: Ahh....much better...
Dagget: yes, the last few hours
Dagget: did you find any thing more out?
Nulion: looks at Markonen, still a bit winded...but the stim's helping
Markonen: Nulion are you ok?
Nulion: I'll be fine *smile* Just...fresh out of that, and it went on for quite awhile...
Dagget: they sent me to reclaim 4 times
Markonen: I am sorry I wasnt here to assist you.
Nulion: It's alright Markonen...What have you been up to? *looks from Markonen down to Salliesue, smiling warmly*
Dagget: ok, Markonen, did you find anything new out?
Markonen: Well.. I went looking for a little more hard data about....
Markonen: glances at the girl.
Salliesue: smiles up at Markonen
Markonen: Hiya Sweety. You feeling better today?
Salliesue: nods
Markonen: Thats great news.
Nulion: smiles softly
Salliesue: although when i woke up, i had these...
Salliesue: rolls up her sleeves
Markonen: looks closely.
Markonen: What the...
Salliesue: I screamed, and i think i scared half of Tir
Nulion: Sure gave us quite a jolt...
Markonen: I I told the guards to contact me.
Markonen: That sonofa...
Salliesue: looks curiously after poor markonen
Nulion: sighs softy
Nulion: I...guess the guards didn't contact him..?
Salliesue: giggles
Dagget: should one of us check on Markonen?
Markonen: So help me if the guards...
Nulion: Oh, there you are, Markonen...*smiles a little*
Dagget: don't want him trashing all the guards
Markonen: closes his mouth.
Salliesue: giggles
Rawenna: smiles up at Markonen
Markonen: I didnt trash talk him. Just explained procedures.
Markonen: grins evilly
Nulion: chuckles
Dagget: well, Salliesue seems to feel better today
Markonen: Honey Are those real?
Markonen: points to her arms
Dagget: but we still have a mystery
Markonen: reaches out and tries to smudge them.
Salliesue: they don't wash off
Markonen: Nope. Their real.
Meldrek: hello friends.
Markonen: frowns.
Nulion: Hello there Meldrek, and Hyperion...
Salliesue: smiles
Nulion: Anyway....Markonen, were you able to get in touch with Matherson?
Dagget: we have developments, as you can see
Markonen: I went over his head Nulion.
Markonen: Straight to the source
Hyperion5182: Meldrek good to see you
Nulion: How'd you manage that one? *smile*
Markonen: Meldrek. How are you.
Dagget: what were you able to find out?
Meldrek: well... I'm wounded... but it could be worse.
Markonen: Simple. I heard that the dust bunnies were in Omni so I used them as a diversion to pay a visit to Omni Med. Its why I was out of comms.
Dagget: I see
Dagget: fast thinking
Markonen: Basically the only records I could find were heavily steralized.
Nulion: Very fast and good thinking, Markonen
Markonen: It contained a mention of a brief surgery and the docters responsible vanishing afterwards.
Dagget: hmmm
Nulion: Hmmm...
Markonen: Everything else was blacked out. Even on the hard copy.
Dagget: no more clues on the parents?
Markonen: None.
Dagget: well, we hasd suspected as much already
Markonen: I know of several doctors and nurses who should be waking up about ... Now maybe.
Dagget: well, so far Salliesue seems to be physically alright
Nulion: The pain's even gone, according to her
Salliesue: nods
Markonen: Hmm..
Markonen: Thats a good sign.
Dagget: she is probably even stronger than before, if the tattoos are doing what they do on real shades
Dagget: but this still also leaves the mystery of Tempus Coma
Markonen: It also leaves us another problem.
Nulion: Another problem?
Dagget: do they know something? Or are they taking advantage of the situation?
Markonen: glances downwards and back at Nulion.
Markonen: Ask me later.
Salliesue: do you want me to go to wine? to open the locked door?
Markonen: No!
Nulion: I'll remember to do that, Markonen...
Nulion: No Salliesue..
Meldrek: did you contact a friendly shade to look at the tatoos ?
Dagget: I don't think that is a good idea
Dagget: yes
Meldrek: and ?
Dagget: Spyder looked at them a bit
Dagget: she has one that is similar
Markonen: And?
Dagget: on her rear....
Markonen: chuckles
Salliesue: giggles
Salliesue: she mooned us
Salliesue: laughs
Rawenna: giggles
Markonen: Well thats one way to show you a tattoo on her bottem!
Dagget: but she did not see anything worrisome
Markonen: Worrisome?
Dagget: the tattoos looked normal to her
Markonen: Nothing. Like the fact that she is getting these and she ISNT a SHADE?!
Markonen: growls
Salliesue: looks down
Salliesue: they look like shade tattoos...
Markonen: lifts her chin with his finger
Markonen: I am sorry I screamed sweety.
Dagget: all we can do is keep close watch on her while pursueing the few leads we have
Rawenna: Yes
Nulion: sighs deeply, shaking his head
Markonen: I for one am growing wear of waiting for these.. These things.. To try to snatch my .. I mean Salliesue.
Dagget: but taking her to Wine would be too risky, I think
Nulion: It's too risky....but I just keep coming back to that place there. Seems like everything is connected to Wine...
Markonen: True. But if we can catch one of these Tempus jackals then I can ask her some questions.
Dagget: how do we lure them out, though?
Nulion: Not. Bait.
Dagget: Salliesue is the only bait and we cannot use her
Nulion: Another shade, maybe..?
Markonen: says coldly
Markonen: She will not be used... Period.
Hyperion5182: Nulion....
Hyperion5182: Do you have a female agent in your group?
Dagget: I wonder if any other shade going to wine would trigger the door?
Nulion: looks at Hyperion5182
Nulion: A female agent? Why?
Markonen: smiles at Sallie.
Hyperion5182: .
Hyperion5182: I have heard rumors that Agents can go as far as to mimic the appearence of other citizens of this planet
Nulion: There are limits...
Dagget: they can't pretend to be shades
Hyperion5182: If exposing Salle is too much of a risk why not a copy?
Markonen: Another child?
Meldrek: hmmmm
Markonen: Are you daft?
Hyperion5182: I didnt mean that
Rawenna: It doesn't have to be a child.
Hyperion5182: Someone who looks like Salle
Markonen: relaxes.
Markonen: Oh.
Markonen: sighs
Rawenna: Just a short shade that looks like Sallie
Markonen: I am sorry.
Nulion: That won't be easy to find...
Hyperion5182: its no problem
Salliesue: places her hand on Markonens shoulder
Hyperion5182: Hence why i thought an agent might work better
Markonen: smiles and pats it gently.
Hyperion5182: Someone who could Mimic her Salle's appeareance
Meldrek: and we also have tricks for the size... it might work.
Salliesue: but who?
Markonen: Hmm.. Perhaps. But the person could be going to their permanent end. Who would risk it?
Hyperion5182: Any way its just a thought I dont know much about agents
Salliesue: looks up at the sky
Markonen: I would but I dont see me fooling them.
Markonen: chuckles
Nulion: I would risk it...but I don't fit the description whatsoever. Don't know many female agents either...
Salliesue: they will know it's not me...
Nulion: Plus, those tattoos are special - they can't be mimicked..
Markonen: What?
Markonen: Sallie?
Dagget: they probably do not go on looks
Meldrek: yes, they're connected.
Nulion: looks at Salliesue
Dagget: but they can sense the real Salliesue
Salliesue: they know...
Markonen: They know what honey?
Meldrek: Salliesue can sense the shades so the opposite may be the same.
Markonen: looks around concerned
Salliesue: they know ... me...
Dagget: we cannot fool them with fakes
Markonen: climbs to his feet in a jerk
Markonen: Thats just perfect. JUST PERFECT!
Nulion: looks up at Markonen, sighing deeply
Markonen: I cant kill em. I cant find em. And they wanna take something I love.
Markonen: I WILL NOT LET IT HAPPEN!
Salliesue: she is not here...but she knows .... you cannot ...
Dagget: since Salliesue is not hurting any more, perhaps we just wait a bit...to see if they try to come here
Salliesue: falls to the ground
Nulion: *sigh* Poor Markonen....this is really weighing on him..
Meldrek: we won't let that happen.
Rawenna: Salliesue?
Rawenna: You alright sweetie?
Salliesue: nods
Meldrek: but now consider this..
Dagget: looks at Salliesue concerned
Salliesue: she's in my mind...but not here
Hyperion5182: Who is?
Rawenna: Who is?
Markonen: pants as his anger boils.
Meldrek: they can sense Sallie... one day or another... they'll know she's in Tir.
Dagget: a shade? Your mother?
Salliesue: i-i don't know...
Markonen: Let them come...
Nulion: It...could be the same voice we heard while in their temple...
Meldrek: we might be unprepared...
Salliesue: she speaks to me...
Dagget: has she said any more?
Markonen: I.. I will..
Salliesue: she can sense what i am thinking
Meldrek: but...
Markonen: looks down at his feet his head hanging low.
Markonen: I cannot let them take her.
Meldrek: we can choose the moment to meet them
Salliesue: she says... you cannot duplicate me...
Markonen: turns and wipes his eyes carefully.
Salliesue: ... i am ... the one a-and only...
Markonen: Sorry. Dust.
Meldrek: yes
Salliesue: blinks and shakes her head violently trying to get the voice out
Markonen: Wha...?
Dagget: I say we try to draw them out to here
Markonen: Are you ok Sallie?
Dagget: we can better protect Salliesue here
Salliesue: nods
Markonen: Wrong.
Markonen: Tactically this is a cardboard box.
Dagget: looks at Markonen
Salliesue: They will not hurt me...i can tell...
Hyperion5182: I have to agree with Markonen there
Nulion: Then....what do they want? What else are they saying, Salliesue..? *looks worried*
Markonen: the park is too open to the outside. Not to mention the landing pad above our heads.
Salliesue: looks down...
Salliesue: I wish i knew
Meldrek: it seems all roads lead to Wine....
Markonen: Sallie... I will protect you with my life honey. But I have to know.. what do you want to do?
Dagget: we should keep her teamed with a fixer at all times, here or elsewhee
Salliesue: when the time is right...we should go...
Dagget: when will that be?
Meldrek: frowns
Markonen: sighs sadly.
Salliesue: shakes her head
Salliesue: i-i don't know
Nulion: holds a hand to his forehead
Markonen: Then.. Its decided.. When the time comes.. We go.
Meldrek: nods
Nulion: When the time comes....okay....You just tell us when, Salliesue...we'll be prepared.
Markonen: I see 5 different groups represented here.
Hyperion5182: If we go we better be packing some serious heat....
Markonen: How many members can be mustered?
Hyperion5182: I cant count on my allies to help in this
Dagget: I can bring 6 top people I think
Nulion: I can get a lot, I'd say....all depends.
Hyperion5182: I have asked for their help on several occasions on this matter and i have gotten nothing from them
Nulion: Around this time of night, I'd get next to no backup.
Meldrek: hard to say, depends of the moment, between 10 and 15 people.
Dagget: Rawenna and Nulion have many allies
Markonen: I see.
Nulion: And we'll do whatever we can...
Markonen: I .. Nevermind. That is in the past.
Dagget: we will prepare them as quickly as we can, to be ready to move at a moments' notice
Nulion: You have us, Markonen...We're all in this together.
Markonen: I could at one point have had a full squad of OMni-Pol Elites. But not now.
Salliesue: holds Markonen's hand
Markonen: My decisions are coming back to bite me.
Meldrek: looks at Salliesue and Markonen and smiles
Dagget: but could you trust them? Seeing where the information you gleaned came from?
Nulion: smiles softly
Hyperion5182: I know that feeling Markonen...
Markonen: rests my hand on her shoulder and hugs her gently.
Markonen: Gentlemen. I do this with great trepidation.
Hyperion5182: falls back and looks at the sky
Markonen: I do not want to loose someone I have grown to l..care for.
Nulion: nods
Dagget: we understand
Meldrek: smiles
Markonen: If I should loose her and live..
Markonen: shakes his head.
Nulion: We won't loose her...
Meldrek: it won't happen
Dagget: best to simply think of what must be done to succeed
Dagget: and, really, it is Salliesue's choice above all else
Markonen: We will need guns. Armor, implants. The fastest and hardest hitters you know.
Markonen: I dont give a damned who they are aligned with.
Nulion: It'll be hard to do on a moment's notice, but Alpha Omega will do its best.
Meldrek: but this time, maybe we should ask questions first.
Dagget: if we can target a time it woudl be easy, spur of the moment we may not be able to get the best
Markonen: Meldrek. I only have one question to ask them.
Hyperion5182: Rebel is still growing...i can pledge my support but i dont think the rest of them will follow me...
Hyperion5182: as for our allies...one can only guess...
Meldrek: nods
Markonen: I will do what I can as well.
Markonen: I do know a few *ahem* people who can perhaps assist in this.
Markonen: Just dont ask them about their backgrounds.
Nulion: Salliesue...do we at least know what day we should plan for..?
Hyperion5182: looks at markonen
Salliesue: shakes her head
Nulion: nods softly
Dagget: we just have to be ready to muster who we can
Meldrek: let's not forget Salliesue's mother....
Hyperion5182: If you are talking about who i think you are....Thats a dangerous propostion Markonen
Hyperion5182: That could backfire on us....
Meldrek: thinks
Dagget: well, for now we should be glasd she is doing well, and leave it at that
Salliesue: falls lightly into markonen sleepily
Markonen: Hyperion I know....
Dagget: I think it is time for her to sleep
Markonen: looks down.
Markonen: Bedtime Sallie?
Salliesue: look up with tired eyes and nods
Markonen: smiles at her.
Markonen: Ok hon. Ill walk you up.
Nulion: smiles at Salliesue
Dagget: good night Salliesue
Nulion: Please sleep well, Salliesue..
Hyperion5182: ....
Meldrek: good night sweety
Salliesue: Good night everyone

Dagget: and you too Markonen
Nulion: We're here for you.
Markonen: Ill be back in a moment.
Dagget: ok
Meldrek: ok
Hyperion5182: ....
Hyperion5182: Man he must be desperate if he wants to ask them for help!
Nulion: I hope this turns out well...
Meldrek: "them" ?
Hyperion5182: A few Neutrals....
Hyperion5182: Rawenna hates the whole bunch
Nulion: Neutrals aren't bad people....For the most part.
Hyperion5182: Nope
Nulion: And any help at all is a good thing.
Hyperion5182: but we arent talking about the typical ones...
Meldrek: glad to hear that.
Meldrek: smiles
Markonen: Is there anywhere in the shadowlands the shades are known to populate?
Nulion: *thinks*
Dagget: Hmmm...
Nulion: They tend to like spirits....so any place where you can find high concentrations of spirits.
Dagget: I'm hardly an expert
Markonen: I see.
Dagget: true
Markonen: Nulion. What I was going to say earlier is that a shade doesnt find it odd that a solitus child who is not a shade is dveloping tattos?
Markonen: That she is in essence becoming a half breed freak?
Markonen: And I use that word only because I know of no ther to explain it.
Nulion: I think the shade was a little too comfortable in her own skin.
Nulion: Thinking such strange things are just normal...for shades they are, but I guess it never clicked how abnormal THIS is.
Dagget: we need a wise and experience shade
Markonen: Then shall we find one?
Nulion: Could always check near those spirits, I suppose...
Dagget: Rawenna had one lined up earlier in the day but they wer not available tonight
Meldrek: I don't know any experienced shade.
Markonen: We can ask nicely.. Or not.. Makes no difference to me.
Markonen: I want answers.
Markonen: And I am tired of waiting for them.
Dagget: we will get them...but can we handle those answers?
Meldrek: hmm ok. but where should we go ?
Meldrek: Shadowlands are large...
Markonen: If it means losing my. I .. Salliesue.. No.
Markonen: Perhaps we can ask in jobe.
Nulion: Jobe would be a good start.
Meldrek: the IPS shade maybe.
Dagget: I need to go attend to guild matters...if you need my assistance, please call me
Markonen: Certainly Dagget.
Markonen: Thank you.
Nulion: You please take care, Dagget
Dagget: I will
Hyperion5182: same here
