    Nulion: Ugh....bastard, Kochren...
    Nulion: Hello, Culainn.
    Culainn: hi Nul.
    Culainn: Didnt know there was a crowd here
    Dagget: did Markonen say he was headed here?
    Nulion: Oh...well, it's always a good hangout...
    Nulion: According to Rawenna, yes.
    Culainn: No. Rawenna asked me to stop by though.
    Culainn: Some omni outside as well.
    Nulion: Omni? *rolls eyes* Ugh....
    Culainn: omni pol
    Kochren: God. This place stinks.
    Nulion: looks at Kochren, surprised..
    Kochren: Bibbleboy!
    Zypherr: A gathering of bad taste.
    Nulion: ....I hate that. What are you doing here...?
    Zypherr: How delightful.
    Kochren: Chillin'. Relaxin'. You know the routine.
    Kochren: Just thought I'd stop in and say hello to some old, dear friends.
    Markonen: Aww bronto crap.
    Zypherr: And well, the traitor head of them all.
    Kochren: grins widely.
    Kochren: 'sup Marky?
    Markonen: I was having a pleasant evening.
    Markonen: Until now.
    Zypherr: Ya know, if ya want me lady, just pull me over to the side?
    Kochren: It can only go uphill from here, big man.
    Zypherr: I can spare sometime for a lady of your beauty, clanner or not.
    Nulion: glares at Kochren...
    Markonen: Gentlemen you arent welcome here. May I ask your business?
    Kochren: Same thing everyone comes here for.
    Kochren: Coffee.
    Maxxpayne: Hello
    Zypherr: Our business is our own. But if you must know, ask Kochren.
    Nulion: ...Right, coffee.
    Markonen: looks around the room
    Zanicyper: looks Krendor over.
    Bqdass: wtf go out omni scum
    Markonen: I had hoped to meet members of .. Nevermind..
    Markonen: I am glad they are not here.
    Zanicyper: coughs.
    Markonen: Hello Zanicyper
    Zanicyper: ...hi... there
    Markonen: We always seem to meet under such au****ious circumstances.
    Zanicyper: what's up, big daddy?
    Markonen: chuckles
    Nulion: stays beside Markonen...
    Markonen: We have.. guests.. in the back of the bar.
    Anamelle: Hi Markonen
    Zanicyper: oh?
    Kochren: Hey Marky.
    Kochren: leans back against the bar, sipping his drink.
    Maxxpayne: Hello Culain
    Culainn: hi.
    Markonen: Kochren. Why are you here?
    Kochren: Told you.
    Maxxpayne: heh
    Kochren: raises his cup.
    Kochren: Coffee.
    Zanicyper: uh... i think i hear my mom calling...
    Kochren: And the delightful chance to see an old friend.
    Dagget: an old friend who alive and well, btw, no thanks to you
    Markonen: Does Omni 1 have no coffee for you?
    Kochren: Yeah, we're working on fixing that.
    Markonen: Friend? You mean the one toy shot in cold blood and tried to permakill you sonofa....
    Xkeeper: hey Markonen
    Jamy: what's going on here
    Kochren: Well, of course, I *could* just kill you, Marky. Get rid of some insurance records, pop a few shots...
    Kochren: But the last thing we need is a martyr.
    Zypherr: Now now Marky...DO mind the language. ladies are about, and I know you wouldn't want to startle them.
    Kochren: grins and walks up close, leaning into Markonen's ear.
    Markonen: Try it and ICC will be all over you. I am no longer listed under Omni's records.
    Nulion: stands still, feeling awful uneasy
    Maxxpayne: Nor am I
    Markonen: growls
    Kochren: keeps grinning and steps back.
    Rawenna: reloads her guns and aims one at Kochren
    Markonen: You push your luck too far Kochren.
    Xkeeper: gogo Rawenna =P
    Kochren: Awww, baby, you wound me.
    Zypherr: So, who thinks Rawenna could take the guts to shoot Kochren.
    Zypherr: I'll take bets...
    Zanicyper: finally got the omni and clan working together, huh?
    Kochren: Not literally of course. Take a whiff, sweetie. Smell that beautiful supression gas.
    Rawenna: I heard that. if ANYTHING happen to her, you better start running, and run till you are on the other side of the galaxy and pray i never find you..
    Kochren: lets the smirk grow... before busting out into laughter.
    Anamelle: what are they doing here?
    Zanicyper: i don't know.
    Anamelle: did they come here to gloat?
    Zanicyper: trying to take him in i think
    Zypherr: Now, where is the hospitality Rawenna.
    Anamelle: what for?
    Nulion: You'd do wise to take her seriously...
    Anamelle: provocation
    Zypherr: You are one of the council members I believe. Why take such hostility towards someone you need to beffriend.
    Anamelle: this is provocation
    Kochren: takes another drink, still grinning, and levels his gaze at Nulion.
    Markonen: You fail to realize omni.. These people feel as I do when it comes to innocents.
    Rawenna: friend? he threatens my friends
    Kochren: Oh, here we go again.
    Nulion: stares at Kochren
    Kochren: You and your damn innocents.
    Zakarumm: drops some gas
    Meldrek: ICC is already aware of this ... case. An investigation will start soon.
    Kochren: It's a *war*, Marky. Ain't nothin' 'innocent' here. Not you, not nobody.
    Zypherr: Meldrek, you only wish you could bring about such action.
    Kochren: sets his cup down on the table, reaching underneath his cloak.
    Meldrek: really Zypherr ?
    Maxxpayne: May I drink my coffee in peace please.
    Zypherr: I could have your "reports" shutdown with a meer thought.
    Meldrek: grins
    Kochren: You want some, buddy boy?
    Markonen: Go away you bothersome little rollerrat.
    Spawnette: Yeah... try me
    Zanicyper: hmm
    Spawnette: Just go home
    Markonen: I left in peace and still you threaten me.
    Kochren: You're not getting this, are you?
    Zypherr: So, when will you decide to go clan Meldrek? You seem to care alot for them for being a fence sitter.
    Kochren: reaches out with the gun, tapping against his chest with each word.
    Kochren: I can do anything I want.
    Markonen: You threaten innocent children.. This is what Omni is. Words. Power abused by those who feel they own everyone and everything.
    Nulion: ....I don't think you're getting it, Kochren...
    Meldrek: I do care about justice.
    Zanicyper: isn't this a little excessive, kochren?
    Kochren: Excess is my middle name!
    Zanicyper: you need this much power just to...
    Kochren: Excess in booze, excess in chicks... and lots of excessive blood on the floor.
    Zanicyper: ...what? come here and bother a former employee?
    Meldrek: but no excess of intelligence, right ?
    Zanicyper: or does your visit have a purpose?
    Kochren: sighs, shaking his head.
    Markonen: No that is one thing he definetly lacks.
    Kochren: Man. You guys are as dumb as you look.
    Anamelle: Nulion, they came here to provoke all of you
    Zypherr: smiles cooly
    Meldrek: puts his right hand in his pocket.
    Markonen: smiles
    Kochren: You know, Marky, I'd hoped that maybe you'd just sorta fade away.
    Lalue: =o
    Markonen: Not going to happen Omni.
    Deathscar: whispers Now who are these scumbags trying to drag to prison?
    Kochren: I mean, it was dumb enough that you pulled that stunt in Borealis... but now you're starting to make us look bad.
    Markonen: Say. Hows your boss doin?
    Markonen: chuckles
    Kochren: I don't like l...
    Kochren: freezes right there, gaze narrowing.
    Meldrek: *click*
    Kochren: Don't you ever... EVER... talk about Ross.
    Spawnette: Long live freedom!
    Spawnette: Viva clans!
    Zypherr: These slogans are giving me a headache.
    Maxxpayne: flicks Kochren in the ear
    Deathscar: May Ross choke on a piece of steak.
    Markonen: Actually you fools I agree with that Sentiment. I do care for Ross. I hope he survives.
    Zypherr: WE don't need you to be banners of slogans, we need action.
    Spawnette: Hmm.... last time I checked, Ross was in no condition to take on even me
    Kochren: growls, walking closer.
    Zanicyper: what kind of action?
    Apothis1: Long Live Nulion clan assassin
    Maxxpayne: hah
    Kochren: You don't care about jack, Marky. You spinless little traitor.
    Kochren: The next time I ever hear you say one word about Ross, I'm defying orders and capping you myself.
    Zypherr: Action to back up your hollow words.
    Dagget: He cares about a lot more than you ever will
    Markonen: I pity you Kochren.
    Markonen: In another time we would have been allies. Your blindness and wanton cruelty leave alot to be desired though.
    Kochren: smirks, pushing his shades farther back upon his nose.
    Kochren: And I pity you, Marky. Particularly for getting so attached to that little kid.
    Zypherr: Markonen you talk big for someone with such a small brain.
    Kochren: Hey old man.
    Kochren: Pick one for me, would you? Then we'll get outta here.
    Zanicyper: grips his swords.
    Markonen: growls as he begins to shake slowly
    Zypherr: May we see you back to the side of right. Our loyalties will never fade.
    Nulion: tightens his grip on his rifle...
    Zypherr: Slaps around anamelle
    Zanicyper: excuse me?
    Eutepre: stands behind Nulion, undeniably tense
    Meldrek: you bastard !
    Kochren: Hey sweetie.
    Zanicyper: shoves zypherr
    Anamelle: smirks
    Kochren: looks Anamelle up and down.
    Anamelle: you won't provoke me
    Kochren: Kind of a shame to do this to such a hot chick, but...
    Zypherr: whispers in anamelle's ear.
    Zanicyper: do you people have any respect at all?
    Zypherr: we don't need to provoke you, just tease you...
    Spawnette: Sure...
    Rawenna: They are omni scum, of course they don't
    Dagget: nah, that was taught in 2nd grade and they didn't make it that far
    Zanicyper: no wonder omni-tek is falling apart and your boss is dying.
    Anamelle: whispers to Kochrens ear
    Zanicyper: with people like you in charge!
    Anamelle: words...
    Kochren: glares at Anamalle for a moment... before just grinning.
    Spawnette: They apparently respect the right to enforce their will on the general population through occasionally superior firepower
    Dagget: riiigth, like that lame attempt in Old Athens the other day
    Zanicyper: shakes his sword.
    Anamelle: smirks
    Kochren: You ever wanna drink, baby... feel free to drop me a line.
    Eutepre: frowns "Now that was smooth"
    Kochren: Let's go.
    Markonen: You bastards want me? Come get me.
    Anamelle: pfft
    Zypherr: shrugs
    Meldrek: Marky
    Kochren: See ya soon, Marky!

    [Outside The Cup]

    Kochren: leans back against the wall and lights a cigarette
    Kochren: Ready, old timer?
    Zypherr: Just say the word.
    Zanicyper: grows
    Kochren: Let's roll.
    Dagget: they're bugging out

    [The Omnis grid out]

    Zanicyper: at least they're smart enough to leave
    Fuze: Your presence here is unwanted. Exit our city.
    Markonen: Those bastards threatened Sallie.
    Nulion: .....And enjoyed it.
    Markonen: They wont touch me..
    Dagget: they aim where they can hurt
    Zanicyper: and were disrespectful to one of my members.
    Anamelle: they wanted to get to you Markonen
    Dagget: just don't let them goad you into something stupid Markonen
    Markonen: I am trying very hard not to.
    Zanicyper: there may be a problem if i ever see them again.
    Zanicyper: grits his teeth.
    Anamelle: smiles at Zanicyper
    Dagget: James, just stay cool and stick to what you have been doing
    Dagget: if they could get you, they would have tried already
    Eutepre: They're just bluffing, they know they'd never leave this city alive if they tried anything, if only for sheer numbers, calm down...
    Markonen: Hmm.. Well we now know for sure that nrpb is compromised.
    Dagget: that was a given
    Nulion: sighs deeply
    Markonen: And by who.
    Dagget: but the channel still has it's uses
    Nulion: They've just....got their fingers into everything.
    Zanicyper: growls angrily.
    Markonen: shakes his head slowly
    Meldrek: you'd better go back to Sallie... maybe.
    Dagget: James, we can go somewhere where they would have more trouble getting in your face
    Anamelle: give Zan a hug
    Zanicyper: twitches.
    Nulion: Going back to Sallie isn't a good idea....they could follow you..
    Meldrek: true.
    Zanicyper: you could take some people with you
    Markonen: They wouldn't step foot there.
    Dagget: he is better off slipping in and out of their city
    Markonen: Simon would eat them alive.
    Rawenna: Everything alright James?
    Markonen: growls
    Zanicyper: i have never met anyone with such...
    Zanicyper: swears.
    Anamelle: funny guy
    Anamelle: knows how to make people angry
    Anamelle: comes with job I guess
    Markonen: I am unsure. But I think perhaps we need to find a quiter place to talk.
    Dagget: Tir, perhaps
    Dagget: or Reets, even
    Nulion: thinks
    Deathscar: The Rebel is normally empty.
    Markonen: Nulion remember the place we went right before Borealis?
    Dagget: we do James
    Markonen: Bring them.
    Nulion: ...Hmm...Before you got shot?
    Nulion: thinks to himself where that was
    Zanicyper: grips his swords

    [A lonely outpost somewhere]
    Markonen: You remembered.
    Dagget: the others will be along
    Dagget: Rawenna, Nulion, and a few relaables
    Markonen: Good. I thought it best to remove myself from Athens. I did not want to incite a riot.
    Dagget: well, the clan crowd clearly intimidated Kochren into leaving
    Dagget: they will constantly try to goad you by referring to Sally
    Markonen: Lady Rawenna.
    Rawenna: They are dealing with the scum he left behind..
    Dagget: you must hold fast...if they could really get to her they would have already
    Markonen: I cannot allow her to be used like this.
    Dagget: she is not being used...they just want you to think that but she is out of their grasp for now
    Markonen: I truly hope so.
    Dagget: all they can do is try to get you to become upset and make a mistake
    Dagget: if they are talking to you, you are in control
    Meldrek: sighs
    Markonen: D6 arent the type to talk for long though.
    Dagget: I noticed Kochren never actually drank any coffee back there in The Cup, heh
    Markonen: Within Omni they are ghosts.
    Anamelle: Hi
    Dagget: that they are showing themselves strikes me as a sign they are desparate
    Meldrek: lo Ana
    Rawenna: And if they against all odds do find her, if they so much as touch a hair on her head I will kill them, and then i will kil them again.. and again and again. and then I will make them suffer.
    Markonen: Yes. But for what?
    Markonen: looks at his comm unit briefly
    Dagget: I think we will start to figure it all out soon if we stay out of their grasp
    Meldrek: what could they fear... I'm wondering....
    Anamelle: I'm not sure what that was all about
    Dagget: I think they have a problem on their hands and Ross being shot is the tip of the iceberg
    Nulion: ...Hello, Markonen, everybody. Sorry we're late.
    Eutepre: Is it safe here?
    Dagget: and they need scapegoats or distractions, meaning us
    Markonen: It should be. This is rarely used.
    Dagget: it is reasonably safe here
    Anamelle: why come to Athen?
    Anamelle: if they wanted to kill you they'd just do it
    Eutepre: They wanted to scare us.
    Markonen: I have no idea.
    Dagget: no, there is too much outside scrutiny
    Dagget: they are trying to spook James into making a mistake
    Nulion: looks up briefly at the glass ceiling...
    Anamelle: I think they wanted to provoke everyone
    Markonen: But to threaten a child.. Now you see why I left OMni.
    Nulion: They're....heartless.
    Anamelle: they threatened your child to get to you
    Anamelle: nothing more
    Zanicyper: and i didn't like the way those... creatures were talking to you, ana.
    Anamelle: you think I did?
    Anamelle: shrugs
    Zanicyper: shakes his head.
    Eutepre: Trying to scare us.
    Anamelle: but I won't be provoked by a bunch of scumbags
    Dagget: good
    Markonen: Ana... Everyone.. I think perhaps it best if Sallie and I ..
    Dagget: though we still need to figure out what the are really up to. Killing Markonen is not the real end they are aiming for, I suspect
    Nulion: ....What?
    Markonen: I think it may be time for us to become scarce.
    Dagget: perhaps so James
    Markonen: Too many risk being harmed by these people.
    Rawenna: Maybe so, at least for a while.
    Dagget: you can still reach us by private comm link at times
    Anamelle: do you think they won't follow?
    Markonen: sighs
    Anamelle: I don't know
    Zanicyper: i don't think that would help now.
    Anamelle: here, you can always count on people's help
    Markonen: What would you have me do then?
    Zanicyper: not now, after they know who your friends are.
    Markonen: That is the problem Zani.. I have endangered you all.
    Zanicyper: accept our help
    Zanicyper: that's the one thing you haven't done yet.
    Dagget: perhaps you should go to the shadowlands...they would have more trouble hunting you there, and Sallie needs to learn things there
    Zanicyper: shrugs.
    Zanicyper: i understand your feelings of being scared...
    Zanicyper: ...believe me, i do...
    Zanicyper: but maybe you should stop taking this all on alone?
    Meldrek: too dangerous because of the TC maybe... you know
    Markonen: I do not fear for myself. It is Sallie. And you and everyone around me.
    Nulion: nods slowly
    Anamelle: I love trouble
    Zanicyper: yes, but...
    Anamelle: grins
    Eutepre: That fear is what they're using against you.
    Nulion: You...shouldn't be afraid for us.....We'll be fine.
    Markonen: Why they chose me to make a point with I do not know.
    Rawenna: We can take care of yourself james, and each other.
    Dagget: James, some of us will fall in the midst of this, it is how things happen. What counts is us advancing our ideals and goals
    Anamelle: I just don't want you to face those guys alone
    Zanicyper: we can defend ourselves, and you, and your *child* if you let us.
    Zanicyper: they have no means to harm you with...
    Zanicyper: looks around the table
    Zanicyper: ...this many people behind you.
    Meldrek: I'm sure there's something that could scare them we could use to make them give up. we just have to find what...
    Markonen: Kochren is why I decided against joining the Council of Truth. I was told if I joined she would die.
    Markonen: looks down at his hands
    Zanicyper: looks at Nulion.
    Dagget: I think they are making empty threats...if they could reach her, they would have already
    Nulion: ....He...he told you that, Markonen..?
    Markonen: Yes.
    Anamelle: bastard
    Markonen: He did.
    Nulion: clenches his fists..
    Markonen: Did you not here what he said to me tonight?
    Rawenna: I did.
    Dagget: I was not close enough to hear what he whispered
    Markonen: They may not be able to get me at the moment but theres always Sallie.
    Markonen: Something along those lines.
    Markonen: sighs
    Anamelle: I think that's what he might have wanted to accomplish
    Meldrek: frowns
    Anamelle: separate you from your friends
    Markonen: looks at his comm unit briefly.
    Zanicyper: yes, ana is right
    Zanicyper: and i think that's why you should let us in more, not push us away.
    Eutepre: If they make you think you're endangering us all and trick you into going away you'll only become easier to reach.
    Markonen: looks as it beeps again.
    Rawenna: We will do everything in our power to help you, and Salliesue
    Nulion: ....Is something wrong..?
    Markonen: I.. Hold a second.
    Dagget: looks worried
    Zanicyper: looks at Nulion.
    Zanicyper: how are you doing?
    Nulion: glances at Zanic
    Nulion: I...guess I'm okay...better than yesterday, but still a nervous wreck.
    Zanicyper: nods slowly.
    Anamelle: relax Nulion
    Anamelle: you need some rest
    Zanicyper: what was that about going to the doctor? did they ever touch you?
    Markonen: WHAT?!
    Dagget: they are just messing with Nuli's head - or trying to
    Eutepre: What?
    Zanicyper: og dear
    Nulion: What is it??

    [The group races off behind Markonen, arriving in Tir]
    Rawenna: James?
    Rawenna: James, what's the matter?
    Markonen: looks around wildly
    Dagget: what!
    Markonen: That bastard was here!
    Dagget: good thing Sally isn't
    Markonen: growls
    Markonen: leans down and picks up a card
    Markonen: That sonofabitch
    Dagget: explain
    Markonen: looks at the card
    Nulion: catches his breath a bit
    Markonen: Love Uncle Kochren
    Rawenna: growls
    Dagget: but you foiled him again
    Dagget: you moved Sally
    Dagget: he is a step behind you
    Markonen: Wrong.
    Dagget: ?
    Markonen: Sallie was here last night.
    Nulion: ......
    Markonen: I moved her this morning.
    Dagget: ok, so 1/2 a step ahead of him
    Markonen: How the hell did he find out she lived here?
    Nulion: ....W...we didn't even know, Markonen..
    Meldrek: w-what happened ?
    Dagget: you moved her back?
    Markonen: I took her back this morning yes.
    Markonen: Bu he knew she was here.
    Anamelle: what's happened?
    Meldrek: eyes Nulion
    Markonen: Kochren was here.
    Dagget: so, in fact, he has her now?
    Anamelle: dammit
    Anamelle: Sallie?

    Markonen: No. He doesnt have her.
    Dagget: good
    Markonen: begins tapping on his wrist com
    Nulion: sighs, relieved
    Dagget: don't tell us
    Dagget: as long as she is out of his grasp it is enough for us'
    Rawenna: sniffs the ground and growls deep down in her throat
    Markonen: No. She is fine..
    Markonen: sighs as he slips to his knees
    Dagget: So you continue to frustrate him
    Nulion: ....You never told a soul where she was, did you?
    Anamelle: she's safe
    Markonen: Stroud... He knows shes in an OMni City.
    Dagget: well, everyone knew she was somewhere in Omni territory last night
    Anamelle: that's what counts
    Markonen: She is safe now though.
    Nulion: nods
    Nulion: Thank god...
    Zanicyper: good.
    Markonen: My .. associate.. Will keep her that way.
    Nulion: nods slowly
    Anamelle: associate?
    Dagget: he has many 'associates'
    Markonen: Someone who works for Omni and despises them even more than silverstone.
    Markonen: chuckles
    Anamelle: do they know how to take care of children?
    Markonen: Yes.
    Markonen: He has his bots do it.
    Zanicyper: i think ana wants to be an aunt.
    Zanicyper: smiles.
    Anamelle: bots?
    Dagget: robots
    Anamelle: uh, Zan...
    Dagget: trained in child care
    Anamelle: yeah, I know what bots are
    Markonen: You see all the robots walking around?
    Dagget: well, as you said James, may eb a good time to become scarce for a while
    Nulion: looks at Markonen...remembering someone like that, but not remembering - or wanting to remember - the name
    Anamelle: but bot is not the best nanny you know
    Dagget: better than Sallie had while she was by herself here
    Markonen: True. But Sallie likes them. And his designs make slayerdroids cuddly by comparision
    Nulion: Sallie...must have odd tastes?
    Markonen: Hes a good man. Just slightly unbalanced.
    Dagget: well, not too much about your associate
    Zanicyper: nods.
    Anamelle: uh
    Zanicyper: that sounds like a shade...
    Dagget: we must assume that D6 hears everything you say or hear
    Anamelle: you left the child with a mentally unstable man and a bunch of killer droids?
    Markonen: Heh. Dagget As odd as it sounds I dont think even they are insane enough to piss this man off.
    Markonen: chuckles
    Markonen: She will be fine there.
    Anamelle: I hope so...
    Markonen: But I now need to find a more secure place.
    Dagget: then you can go about your job
    Meldrek: yes and we don't have to know more details about the location or the guy taking care of her...
    Dagget: Tir is the most secure clan city
    Dagget: if it is not safe here....
    Markonen: Dagget. He was here.
    Zanicyper: it's not that secure
    Dagget: yes, but what could possibly be any better?
    Zanicyper: i made it here ok, and so have many omni
    Anamelle: we are here, aren't we?
    Markonen: Hmm..
    Dagget: perhaps the Sentinals outpost in Wailing Wastes?
    Markonen: smiles
    Dagget: their research facility is heavily protected
    Meldrek: shakes his head and sighs
    Zanicyper: flenches.
    Nulion: They're -Sentinels-. I don't think he'd find much welcome...
    Hyperion5182: jumps out of his ship
    Anamelle: why do you believe so much in the sentinels?
    Hyperion5182: James you alright?
    Markonen: I believe they are targeting me. All else is simply to get to me.
    Dagget: I don't but I'm thinking in terms of who would give Kochren a hard time
    Markonen: So..
    Nulion: ...Markonen, aside from working for them for 33 years...why would they -still- want to be after you?
    Anamelle: why not hide in the crowd?
    Dagget: they don't like people leaving them
    Markonen: I .. I cannot say Nulion.
    Nulion: nods slowly
    Anamelle: a lot of people left them
    Eutepre: But why going through all this bother?
    Hyperion5182: He left omni and joined Clan Its a betrayal to them of the highest order he is an example to be made of."
    Rawenna: If you want secure i might know just the place...
    Zanicyper: was there some case wher you think you may have gotten a little to close to something you weren't supposed to know?
    Zanicyper: they're going through a lot of effort to intimidate you.
    Anamelle: the art theft for example?
    Meldrek: what i'd like to make you understand is that maybe OT is listening at us at the moment...... I-I don't think it's safe to talkl about that....
    Markonen: Hmm..
    Nulion: nods, looking around a little..
    Markonen: looks at his friends.
    Dagget: Markonen will have to decide on his own, where to hide
    Dagget: we can only give suggestions
    Markonen: I will not put Sallie through this ordeal.
    Markonen: Nor any of you.
    Dagget: everyone has to face challenges
    Markonen: Its me they want.
    Anamelle: oh please
    Markonen: If I leave then they will leave you in peace.
    Rawenna: James, we will stand by you whether you want it or not.
    Anamelle: don't give them that satisfaction
    Nulion: And we're here for the long haul...
    Dagget: we'd be even more persistent in seeking you out
    Rawenna: James, we might know a place, for you and Salliesue....
    Zanicyper: they won't leave us in peace
    Meldrek: taps on his comm
    Anamelle: yeah
    Zanicyper: we're associated with you now.
    Zanicyper: they'll just target us to get to you
    Zanicyper: looks at nuillion.
    Nulion: breathes heavily
    Zanicyper: and it will start all over again.
    Hyperion5182: I say we use omni's tactics against them!
    Hyperion5182: They want to go after jacobi on '
    Dagget: no, then we are no better than them
    Markonen: I will think on this.
    Anamelle: oh please
    Hyperion5182: I say we do the same to Prestin!
    Markonen: It is all I can do at this point.
    Zanicyper: Hyperion5182, you're not helping.
    Nulion: ...We can't just throw names about and do everything reckless, Hyperion.
    Meldrek: sighs
    Meldrek: oh well
    Hyperion5182: You telling me she would know nothing about this???
    Imako: hey Nuli
    Nulion: looks at Imako, smiling a bit
    Nulion: Hello, Kain.
    Zanicyper: we aren't omni, Hyperion5182
    Hyperion5182: No
    Anamelle: Hyperion, you're talking like an omni right now
    Zanicyper: we will not stoop to their level.
    Eutepre: Hello Kain
    Hyperion5182: Since when did you guys join the clans?
    Hyperion5182: I thought you were staying out of the fight?
    Anamelle: I didn't and I won't
    Imako: Hello Eutepre
    Zanicyper: what are you talking about?
    Dagget: James, just go about your business
    Anamelle: and you're not very coherent Hyperion
    Nulion: nods
    Dagget: that is the best way to infuriate them
    Hyperion5182: looks very ticked off
    Zanicyper: looks at Eutepre
    Hyperion5182: "Sorry i just heard about this attack and i am not at my best at the moment..."
    Zanicyper: clearly, you're not thinking reasonably.
    Zanicyper: we're all upset
    Zanicyper: but MORE fighting won't help.
    Anamelle: yeah...
    Nulion: It'll only hurt those who get caught in the middle.
    Hyperion5182: And what?
    Hyperion5182: We sit back and Continue to take it?
    Hyperion5182: How long is enough?
    Markonen: sighs
    Dagget: only fights will be started by the Omnis and finished by us
    Hyperion5182: What if a shot had gone wrong and hit sallie?
    Markonen: .....
    Anamelle: SHUT UP!!
    Hyperion5182: looks ready to explode
    Markonen: Enough..
    Zanicyper: tries not to chuckle.
    Anamelle: breathes heavily
    Markonen: I have three choices before me.
    Hyperion5182: turns to face markonen
    Zanicyper: looks at Eutepre
    Markonen: 1. I hide.
    Eutepre: looks back at Zanicypher
    Markonen: 2. I fight
    Markonen: 3. I leave
    Markonen: there is one more but I cant consider it.
    Dagget: I think you can do a bit of each
    Markonen: I will not.
    Anamelle: why not try to find out a bit more?
    Zanicyper: if it involves giving up your kin, then don't
    Zanicyper: don't even bloddy think about it.
    Markonen: I will not do so.
    Dagget: I still think the Sentinal base in Wailing Wastes is a good place to work from
    Markonen: If it were only me there would be no problem.
    Markonen: That is not the case.
    Dagget: out of the way, heavily guarded but not too terribly far from a major city
    Anamelle: hide?
    Anamelle: for how long?
    Anamelle: a week
    Anamelle: a month?
    Anamelle: a year?
    Markonen: I have 3 years to worry about. Once she is insured then I can do what ever needs to be done.
    Dagget: he needs to be able to continue his work
    Hyperion5182: Anamelle you make my point perfectly
    Zanicyper: markonen, two things...
    Anamelle: no, I don't
    Hyperion5182: How long can one hide?
    Markonen: Yes Zani?
    Hyperion5182: Leaving isnt an option and one can hide for only so long..if they want to find him they will...
    Zanicyper: sighs heavily
    Anamelle: takes a deep breath
    Zanicyper: if you do fight...
    Zanicyper: would we... we only be fighting those two beasts?
    Hyperion5182: just shakes his head looking confused
    Zanicyper: and... two...
    Eutepre: rests a hand on Hyperion's shoulder "Fighting is useless, we can't obliterate them, and they can try... but perhaps you're right to an extent, keeping their defences busy would buy us time to do what we really have to"
    Zanicyper: are you POSITIVE that you may not know or have something that is making all this happen?
    Anamelle: we need to locate a target
    Eutepre: (( Obliterate them, even. ))
    Anamelle: and then strike
    Markonen: Zani...
    Hyperion5182: Everyone here knows who i think the target should be....
    Zanicyper: because i'm not about to start a war with all of omni-tek, but i wouldn't mind sending those two to vanya if it meant your safty and that of your child's.
    Markonen: There are things I have done for omni that I will never talk about. Things that I will never divulge. I think that may be what scares them.
    Anamelle: we don't know if it's only them however
    Markonen: I know their dirty laundry.
    Markonen: I know where they keep the skeletons.
    Dagget: well, you know what they are so that puts you in a better position than us to jduge theri actions
    Anamelle: ah, that explains a bit
    Nulion: nods
    Zanicyper: you can't threaten them with that information? and is it only limited to those cowards?
    Markonen: No.
    Zanicyper: hangs his head.
    Markonen: It is things that omni has done. Things that the average citizen has no clue of.
    Markonen: Why do you think I am so disgusted with them?
    Hyperion5182: sighs after a few minuytes "My apologies to all of you...I just am tired of sitting back and taking the flak without returning fire..."
    Markonen: You think I awoke one day and decided oh hey. Lets leave omni now? After 55 years of being one?
    Markonen: 33 years I spent in law enforcement.
    Eutepre: Are they things controversy authors write books about? Or things that initiate suits at the ICC courts?
    Zanicyper: no... but...
    Markonen: They are things that people die over Maam.
    Eutepre: I see
    Zanicyper: something needs to be done, and hiding, in my opinion, is not the best option
    Zanicyper: ana made that point already.
    Markonen: D6 is the watchers that watch the watchers.
    Markonen: They are ghosts who dont officially exist
    Zanicyper: looks startled.

    **********

    Hyperion5182: Internal Affairs???
    Nulion: ....They're being pretty reckless, -BARGING- into The Cup like that...
    Markonen: These are the guys who give internal affairs the heebie jeebies
    Zanicyper: ...and announcing it on an open channel.
    Dagget: in any case, they have been so far unsuccessful in having their way with you so they are hardly gods
    Anamelle: oh THOSE
    Markonen: Reckless? They dont exist.. Dont you get it?
    Anamelle: I don't know if that unsuccessful
    Anamelle: they forced a lot of things
    Nulion: nods a little bit
    Markonen: They could marh in full uniform in the middle of an omni boardroom. No one would see them.
    Dagget: I wouldn't be surprised if we can turn the tables on them and goad them into doing something foolish
    Anamelle: Sallie had to be relocated...
    Markonen: sighs
    Eutepre: So you both know things, and held an office high enough to give you credibility should you decide to divulge what you know?
    Dagget: no, Sallie is a girl
    Dagget: although apparently also was experimented on by the Omnis
    Markonen: If I had held a high enough office I wouldnt be here.
    Markonen: All of what I know was learned through unofficial channels
    Dagget: they probably want to silence her whether she is associated with James or not
    Markonen: The same channels that landed me here as a clan member now.
    Eutepre: Then why bother in seeking you? Even if you went to the ICC court rooms you don't have a leg to stand on, do you?
    Markonen: chuckles
    Zanicyper: then what do you suggest we do to help?
    Zanicyper: Eutepre, OT has it's paws in ICC, too
    Markonen: ICC Court? Thats funny.
    Zanicyper: the most probable way to get any action would be to have his information "leaked" to Truspace.
    Hyperion5182: Rawenna did you by chance find that guy about that thing?
    Rawenna: Yes. but since you have it, and am never around when he is, it's kinda dificult.
    Eutepre: Exactly, even if I possessed OT's state secrets, they would only bother in seekign me out if I had real means of making my voice listened to.
    Zanicyper: and hope to vanya that it gets out to the public and action is taken.
    Nulion: stays quiet, leaning against the wall
    Markonen: I was going to join the Council of Truth Maam.
    Hyperion5182: Right...Perhaps i should meet him directly...
    Rawenna: Don't think he would apriciate me giving out his name
    Hyperion5182: .....
    Markonen: I dont know what to do now.
    Hyperion5182: If i find out this is lost rawenna.....
    Rawenna: Let us help you.
    Anamelle: you have contacts
    Dagget: I think you should relocate to a safer place but contimue your work
    Zanicyper: nods.
    Nulion: We'll do everything in our power...
    Markonen: sighs
    Hyperion5182: Dont lose this...
    Markonen: I am not worried about me.
    Markonen: I never have been.
    Hyperion5182: That is what i found in the Happy Rebel
    Nulion: But we are.
    Dagget: if Sally is safe now with your associate, then she should stay so
    Nulion: You -and- her.
    Markonen: It was so much easier when I only had to worry about replacing the armour when it was shot to hell and back.
    Dagget: you can't get her off the planet so you have to put her somewhere
    Markonen: I know.
    Hyperion5182: Rawenna you said you might know of a place?
    Markonen: She is safe at the moment.
    Dagget: either here or in the shadowlands
    Rawenna: I do.
    Rawenna: More then one actually.
    Markonen: But I cannot leave her there forever.
    Zanicyper: you could train her to defend herself
    Dagget: as you pointed out, it is 3 years you have to keep her safe
    Zanicyper: she *is* a shade after all.
    Markonen: I know.
    Nulion: But she's not insured, Zanic...
    Dagget: by the time she is 20 she will probably be able to best you in combat
    Markonen: One shot from a rifle and she dies.
    Markonen: Not a risk I choose to take.
    Hyperion5182: I would like to hear what Rawenna has to say....she seems to know something....
    Markonen: I know what she councils. And I will look into it.
    Nulion: The fewer of us know, the better.
    Rawenna: Well, there is more then that place as well.
    Dagget: you just have to keep thinking and stay a step ahead of them
    Markonen: I was thinking of somewhere as well.
    Markonen: I will need to check it again though.
    Hyperion5182: All this talk of hiding is good....but it doesnt get us to the root of the problem though....
    Hyperion5182: Why do they want her?
    Dagget: Camelot Castle might be good
    Anamelle: sighs
    Dagget: 100% gas and many places to hide
    Markonen: chuckles
    Hyperion5182: No its too exposed Dagget.
    Hyperion5182: Omni and Clan alike go through that place.
    Dagget: just teach Sallie not to go in the Dungeon
    Markonen: It has a dungeon?
    Zanicyper: chuckles.
    Dagget: yes but 25% gas
    Rawenna: With an ugly dragon
    Zanicyper: hmm... catacombs.
    Anamelle: smiles at Zanicyper
    Markonen: Hmm.. Sallie likes animals.
    Anamelle: you like catacombs?
    Markonen: Perhaps Tara needs a friend.
    Markonen: laughs softly
    Hyperion5182: You guys are out of your mind!
    Anamelle: laughs
    Zanicyper: well, considering she's a shade...
    Nulion: smiles
    Zanicyper: ...she likes dark places...
    Anamelle: yeah, I bet she could tame the creature
    Hyperion5182: just shakes his head
    Dagget: neither you nor Sallie want to go near Tara
    Zanicyper: smiles and shrugs
    Markonen: I was only kidding.
    Zanicyper: laughs.
    Hyperion5182: .....Isnt there a place....
    Markonen: I must find something to laugh about or I will go insane.
    Hyperion5182: seems to be thinking rather hard actually
    Hyperion5182: I hear that...
    Hyperion5182: What about the other base....
    Zanicyper: did you hear about the guy who walked into a bar? he said, "ouch"
    Dagget: perhaps if you joined a guild and made use of their city?
    Zanicyper: chuckles to himself.
    Markonen: chuckles
    Hyperion5182: Not the one in the Wastelands but what about the underground base in Mort!
    Markonen: Dagget I would only bring more innocents under scrutiny if I did so.
    Markonen: I worry now about those I have inspired.
    Dagget: Aside from Sally, none of us are innocents
    Zanicyper: ...mmm, still, meldrek did have a point
    Markonen: Where is your President Imako?
    Zanicyper: probably shouldn't be having this conversation in a public place.
    Dagget: I saw her around a few hours ago
    Hyperion5182: That whole area is littered with cyborgs and other strong creatures the guards there are the Finest Sentinels avalible Its a great spot to hide...
    Markonen: sighs
    Imako: shel...quite honestly, I havent a clue...shes not been around all day, comm turned off so, possibly busy....
    Nulion: I apologize for not introducing you, Markonen. Imako is the first person I suggested to Shelnaria to join The Voiceless. Very good, and longtime friend of mine.
    Markonen: smiles
    Imako: nice to finally meet you Markonen, Nuli has told me much about you
    Imako: smiles
    Nulion: smiles
    Markonen: A pleasure. I wish we met under better circumstances.
    Imako: heh, well, we had to meet at some point, no better time than the present
    Markonen: True.
    Imako: smiles
    Markonen: I will think on all that you have said.
    Zanicyper: looks at imako.
    Rawenna: night hun
    Nulion: We're always here for your backup, however you might need it James.
    Markonen: I thank you all for the advice.
    Hyperion5182: Markonen...I got your back if you go over the hill...
    Markonen: chuckles
    Markonen: I think perhaps I can avoid that for the moment.
    Zanicyper: nods.
    Dagget: perhaps if you start by relocating in the city here
    Dagget: quietly...
    Hyperion5182: I hope so...I might want to strike omni But i understand your point
    Rawenna: Well, contact me if you are interested in hearing about some of the locations that might be good for you and Salliesue.
    Nulion: smiles at Rawenna
    Markonen: I will do so Rawenna.
    Markonen: You have much more experience in these lands than I so far.
    Rawenna: I don't mean to go into hiding, but to stay, live, where it might be safe.
    Markonen: If any of you can think of a place please let me know.
    Markonen: Neutral or clan.
    Markonen: I will not run. But I want to be sure she has a safe place.
    Hyperion5182: I could think of a few places....but i dont know how safe they would be...I stil say the mort base is probably your best option
    Markonen: We will think of something.
    Markonen: Be it here or in the Shadowlands.
    Dagget: well, think on it - we are here to assist you however we can
    Markonen: I believe I am going to sleep on this. It is the best option for now.
    Nulion: You sleep well, Markonen...
    Markonen: smiles
    Markonen: I will try.
    Anamelle: well, me too actually
    Hyperion5182: ......
    Anamelle: good night Markonen
    Hyperion5182: Anamelle can i speak to you for a moment
    Markonen: Thank you all for your thoughts and advice.
    Anamelle: smiles at Markonen
    Rawenna: Good night James.
    Zanicyper: good night, big guy.
    Imako: Nice to meet you Markonen, take care
    Dagget: Night
    Markonen: Be well and Stay safe Imako
    Imako: smiles
    Eutepre: Take care.
    Dagget: we'll keep a watch on this backyard
    Anamelle: sure Hyperion
    Hyperion5182: over here
    Markonen: Thank you all
    Zanicyper: hmm
    Dagget: and off to home I go
