2:43PM
Sophie Archer: Sophie took over the bridge from Lavie and asked Eric to prepare the ship to enter orbit.
2:44PM
Yuka Layton: Yuka took one of the stations at operations that had a communications system at it and opened a channel to Seth’s mech. “Alright; damn it… Come back now! Grow a pair and kick your mech’s AI in the balls if it’s trying to abduct you.” Lavie came over to her as she was talking to him. “Um dearest… his mechs AI does not have a body…” “It is a figure of speech.”
2:44PM
RisaXSeph (GM): Ned was sent the Captain’s request to build the weapon for RINZ and began work straight away at building a giant sword. He did not know if he would get done before they needed it but he would try; giant sword of destruction… construction COMMENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!
2:44PM
scott: heads out to find ned after having read the captains message
2:45PM
RisaXSeph (GM): The giant snake tried to follow after the shuttle but it moved too fast the snake made a loud screeching noise apparently unhappy that its prey got away especially after it invaded its “home”. The other snakes continue to feed on the remaining energy created from the lifting off of the shuttle as it flew off.
2:53PM
scott: finds ned working on a huge metal sword and thinks wht the heck ned 'heyo ned do you want to sign this delta force" commision paperwork and join the crew
2:54PM
RisaXSeph (GM): "Fleet commission... don't you have to go through some academy or some jazz for that..." He said as he continues to hammer at metal.
3:00PM
Koto: Koto panickly checks over a sparking console on the shuttle as Lars pilots it away from the snakes. "Please don't die on me. Please survive machine!"
ACTION: A short time passes and the Lavie enters orbit in search of the snakes and the remaining away team members. A reminder that the away team will be unable to leave orbit without the ship because their shuttle’s glass is still cracked.
3:28PM
RisaXSeph (GM): (Since we are waiting on people to get back pausing temporarily)
Pause sim
3:29PM
Kevin G.: ok i am back
3:29PM
RisaXSeph (GM): wb
Resume Sim
ACTION: As the lavie enters orbit the ship heads for the snakes and begins loading torpedoes. The giant snake is off somewhere else though. As the shuttle crew looks back they see the giant snake somehow moving faster following them from the ground making noises of anger.
3:39PM
Koto: Koto moves away from the now partially functioning console. "Well I think we won't explode...... for now."
3:40PM
scott: {yay i has my perfect minion to make sure shit doesnt go boom} thinks the insane ceng
{yay i has my perfect minion to make sure shit doesnt go boom} thinks the insane ceng
3:42PM
Sophie Archer: Sophie looks at RINZ since he is just standing there. "Since your commander is trying to convince your pilot to come back why dont you go take a shuttle and tractor beam him back to us... make yourslef useful... " (Dont stand on the bridge idle XD)
3:44PM
Kirin Dragmawl: so koto what are the options we have here that this shuttle can do at the moment?
3:45PM
MomoSS: "Are you sure a tractor beam would be sufficient in holding a combat mech?" Rinz asks
3:47PM
Koto: Koto looks at Kirin. "Well Lars is keeping the shuttle in the air but we can't leave orbit with the screen cracked or will die. So we have to wait and also keep this ship from exploding till then or being attacked again by snakes. I wouldn't be suprised after this week to see flying snakes."
"How are you?" he smiles.
3:48PM
Sophie Archer: Sophie looks up at Trent whom glances over at Ari. "Um... From my classes at SAD... again we use like really really old tech but you'd probably end up kill yourselves... I'd ask your engineers though... Why is everyone staring at me... Just cause I am trained to launch and oversee mech deployment does not mean I am an engineer." Sophie calls down to enginering and asks the question to them.
3:50PM
scott: hell yeah this is a bad idea rinz
3:51PM
Kirin Dragmawl: if there is a way to get the weapons functional if this ship has some sort of weapons on it
3:53PM
Koto: "Ah waste of time, we'd need an engineer. At worst we'd die up or have to land or be saved."
3:53PM
RINZ: "Perhaps it would be better if my 'other' self were to apprehend the rouge mech." Rinz suggests
3:54PM
Sophie Archer: Sophie then nods "Well in that case... Wait... can't we just send a code to disable his mechs computer?" "Bad idea... hes flying..." Ari replies. "I really need to stop thinking outloud..." Trent interupts them. "The shuttle is on long range sensors." "Ensign Fisher lets go pick them up first." "Aye Captain." The helmsmen sets a course toward the damaged shuttle being followed by the giant snake.
3:55PM
Yuka Layton: "Combine the two ideas? RINZ and Ari's?"
3:56PM
RINZ: RINZ goes to take a seat in an empty chair on the bridge as he activates his mech self. The led eyes on RINZ-00 light up as the mech starts to stand.
3:56PM
Ari Manomi: Ari sends one last message to try to convince Seth to stand down but he continues to act like hes having communications troubles.
Ari gives RINZ-00 permission to launch to go after Seth
3:58PM
Kirin Dragmawl: kirin to uss lavie "what is the situation up there we are kindof stuck down here with a crack window and i have a feeling if i any other contracts it might make the situation worse than how it is, is there a way to get some support fire down here to make a safe border to make some minor repairs and have some time to recover with out pushing everyone so hard"
3:58PM
RINZ: RINZ walks over to the mechbay doors awaiting for the doors to open. Once open, he dispatches from the ship flying after Seth.
The ship gets close to the shuttle and notices the giant snake following it. The snake stops and noticing the ship closer to its home turns around and makes a sound at the ship apparently trying to scare it away.
4:04PM
Koto: Koto hears the scream from the snake. "I'm not sure that's snake for 'I'm sorry have a good day now'."
4:06PM
Ari Manomi: Ari waits for RINZ to get close enough to Seth then she sends the signal.

Ari Manomi: It is minimally effective but enough for RINZ to grab the mech.
4:08PM
RisaXSeph (GM): Trent opens a channel to the shuttle telling them to come back tot eh ship.
4:10PM
RINZ: RINZ starts to get in range, coming up from behind the mech. When hes close enough he latches on to the mechs arms, clenching them in a way where movement would be very difficult.
4:11PM
RisaXSeph (GM): Lars pilots the damaged shuttle back to the Lavie.
giant snake spits some weird goop at the ship
4:12PM
RisaXSeph (GM): The goo is not effective.
4:13PM
Sophie Archer: As soon as the shuttle and RINZ return to the ship Sophie orders Trent to have torpedoes loaded and have one fired into the snake.

4:15PM
RINZ: RINZ goes full thrusters to try and reverse the course of Seth and his mech.
4:15PM
Sophie Archer: Three sets were fired. The first the snake eats.
The second is a dud.
4:17PM
Koto: Once the ship lands back on the Lavie Koto look over at Kirin. "So were not dead."
4:17PM
Kirin Dragmawl: i wouldnt stay to close, to much of that goop can start to melt the hull of the ship
4:17PM
Sophie Archer: RINZ reverses back pulling Seth's mech with him. The third the snake explodes with a giant hole in the ground.
4:19PM
Kirin Dragmawl: "i think we are running out of options" kirin starts to draw a summoning circle to try to get ifrit to help out here
4:19PM
Sophie Archer: The ship heads back to the main crash site since the big snake is gone now.

4:22PM
RINZ: RINZ drags Seth and his mech back to the mech bay all the while watching the fireworks go off on the ground having a great view of iit
4:23PM
RisaXSeph (GM): (Ifirit kills half of them; you can write that out however you wish Kev)
4:30PM
Kirin Dragmawl: once drawing a summoning circle ifrit comes out releasing an intense fire fires a fireball once the fireball hits the ground it explodes into a eruption of flames like a volcano eruption killing half the snakes but it looks like it didnt hit the large snake
4:32PM
Koto: "So um I think you might have hurt them a little, just a little."
4:33PM
RisaXSeph (GM): Jessica from security and a group of security and service droids were loaded into the second shuttle as the other group landed. That shuttle leaves. The shuttle lands and the droids start talking shit and murdering snakes with machine gun fire unloading into the hole that is still burning form ifrit. "My bitch... your my bitch!" One of the droids screams. Jessica and the service driods enter the wreckage and start unloading what is useful into the shuttle as the security droids finish off the snakes.
By the time the droids finish firing there is only about 5 percent of the snakes are left. They had borrowed back to where they came from. The security droids help load the shuttle. Upon filling up the shuttle with almost everyting the first load is done so jessica drives the shuttle back. By this time everyone is out of the other shuttles and the ship has made preparations to leave orbit. Jessica heads back down to pick up the least bit of stuff and all the droids returning to the ship to make a final tally and see if there is anything more they need to do on this planet.
(Any final posts for this sim please post now before I end; next week Josh should be back to finish up his mission I believe)
4:39PM
Koto: Koto pulls out a coffee mug and kisses it. "We made it!"
4:40PM
Kirin Dragmawl: we got to warn the surviors that there are still some snakes around
are get the ship repaired
and*
for right now we dont have to worry about the shuttle at the moment but we still got to warn the planet survivors if there is any one left
4:47PM
Koto: "The outer rim is hell Kirin."
End Sim

Joint Post - Feb 1

~ RisaXSeph ~: <start sim> Yuka finished her third report... this whole process was starting to become tedious and cumbersome. She had not even had time to really talk to anyone and the feelings from before while still there were not as strong. She didn't know if that was from the passage of time, Lavie or the events that had transpired. She wanted to go lounge around on a beach at the holodeck or do something relaxing. She only defaulted to that because of the super cold horridness they just left.
She decided to get coco because it was warm and drank it sitting in the mess. She'd changed into shorts, sandals and a pink short sleeve shirt. She just stared into space as the ship moved.
Slaydemons: Jeane also entered the messhall she was in one of the open face sweaters sitting at the coffee machine yawning herself something Yuka herself had never heard not even once. she didn't seem to notice anyone.
~ RisaXSeph ~: Yuka turns her attention from space to Jeane and can't help but just stare longingly at her. She didn't say anything but she felt like there was a wedge between them and that made her feel lonely. She didn't exactly know how to approach this with her as just a day ago she wanted to scream at her but now something had changed.
Slaydemons: Jeane turned with her coffee and gave a small wave before sitting next to her with her coffee in a mug just black no milk or sugar "How did your mission go."
~ RisaXSeph ~: Yuka was not expecting her to sit down with her and upon her speaking was startled a bit. "Oh... uh...- well giant snakes almost killed us... I want to apologize for being so moody with you... and... I never meant to make you feel like you had to do anything with me... I just..." she looks down into her cup fidgeting with it. "I want to be close to you and... you know... share experiences with you... I hope I've never hurt you." She returns to looking at her. "I hope I wasn't too deep." She thought
Slaydemons: "Did you write the report?" she smiled a bit and drank her black coffee "I know dear, I suddenly got put in a position of power and had to do so much more then before, losing a lot of freetime in the process, the freetime I had was then put into going on away missions in which I had to make sure everyone was safe."
~ RisaXSeph ~: "Yeah... I do the reports right when I get back so it's fresh; AMC training recommends doing it that way... I understand... I need to try better to understand your obligations... you let me do my thing and I should do the same for you."
Slaydemons: "I do it that way too, normally I unwind by cuddle into you while sleeping for a few hours sleep and wake up cuddle some more."
~ RisaXSeph ~: "Honestly I'm usually so lost I don't think most things register with me but I like the cuddling." She said happily.
Slaydemons: ""I would think so I don't know anyone who hates cuddling."
~ RisaXSeph ~: She drinks her coco. "Do you want go do something?"
Slaydemons: "like what?"
~ RisaXSeph ~: "Eh... anything... I'm just partial to something relaxing or fun right now."
Slaydemons: "what about a nap, and soup while watching tv?"
~ RisaXSeph ~: "... television... hum... throwing one of those on a beach would be awesomeness! Some nice stone etched flower pots with cute nice smelling flowers... the beach OCEAN!" She said that with way too much enthusiasm "Sleeping by the ocean! ... walks by the beach at sunset..." the last one she said in a endearing expression.
Slaydemons: "I am not prepared for the beach it might kill me." she said looking down.
~ RisaXSeph ~: "We were just trapped in snowy hell... You could always change too you know... unless you like snow hell... we could go explore the Alaskan tundra."
Slaydemons: "I don't want to explore my mountains today sweety I'll find something I'm sure, go to the holo deck and set it up for us."
~ RisaXSeph ~: "Wait... Alaska... but I don't like the cold..." she whines.
"Exploring snow and freezingness was a joke honestly "
"I'm too young to die of hypothermia "
"..."
Slaydemons: Jeane smiles and walks towards her room.
~ RisaXSeph ~: Yuka has. An expression like -_-
She returned her cup to the replicator and headed for the holodeck
As Yuka arrives Adar is laying next to the door not in the way of it but it seems like he's just resting. The wolf stares at her.
"Save me from snow death please friend." She pets the giant wolf and he grunts.
Slaydemons: Jeane comes to the holodeck in a sundress and a strawhat complete with glasses "Are you ready?"
~ RisaXSeph ~: She stares at Jeane with a look of contempt. "Now your just making fun of me cause I can't handle the cold..." "why is she scared of snow?" Adar asks Jeane
The holodeck doors open themselves to Alaska
Slaydemons: Jeane pushes the button to close the door "I am not changing again." she set a new program for a beach
~ RisaXSeph ~: Adar tilts his head "strange."
The beach that was chosen was one of Yuka's personal programs.
It was a small beach sort of fenced off to be private. It has some nice chairs, food, drinks, a stone path leading to the beach along with stone flower planters on the sides of the path. The flowers smell and look beautiful. The scene along with the water and the nearly setting sun look picturesque
Slaydemons: Jeane walks into the holo deck now walking into the sand and looking for a place to sit
~ RisaXSeph ~: Yuka enters and follows the path to a chair with a towel on it next to another one. She sits down. Adar enters confused. "Confusion... too much heat..." a blood popsicle appears next to the wolf and he stares at it. He licks and noms it. He lays there working at it.
When Jeane sits Yuka takes one of her hands and just holds it.
Slaydemons: Jeane gives it a small squeeze "And now the Tv and maybe a nap." (we should also end it on this x3)
~ RisaXSeph ~: "So after being the second in command... are the people here as weird as they all seem?" She asked making small talk.

Sophie Archer
Yuka Layton
DFS Lavie; Bridge
June 19th 4566

Yuka has woken up early after sleeping on the holodeck with RINZ. It was a fun night and now she was just drinking more hot chocolate. Today she had a round learning engineering. They wanted her to see how each department was ran by the time they arrived at the starbase. She did not understand why; she was only just starting her command training. Wasn’t this something they did MUCH later in training; departmental rotations… That is… After she had finished her drink and a full breakfast she had made; she actually cooked… That was also something that was rare and it was even rarer here since everything could just be made via replicators; when they were not broken. She wondered how engineering was going to solve that problem but at least they gave drinks right now.

As she was preparing to leave and get ready to change into her uniform to go to engineering she was contacted over her VX… Not the ships normal communications systems. “Yuka, could you come to my office please?” Sophie asked. Considering how she was being contacted Yuka considered what the Captain needed as important otherwise why would she use this method to reach out to her. She hurriedly headed to the ready room. Upon arriving there Sophie asked Yuka to sit. She did as she was told. Sophie then began to speak

“I have some rather important news for you… The Lavie will be working with another branch of the Federation Government called Trinity Special Forces… I was actually sent here to temporarily command this ship until an appropriate candidate for command was located. That candidate has been selected and will be taking command of the Lavie following the ships refit at Deep Space 741… The new commander of the Lavie will be you.” Yuka blinks staring at her like this is a joke but Sophie’s expression does not change.

“… Captain… Weren’t you just the one a few days ago who lectured me on duty… How am I qualified to command anything… Eh… and like… I’m just a teenager…” Sophie waits for her to finish then responds.

“Immediately after that did I not give you your first three command assignments? Everyone has come back safe… Those books we gave you… How far are you on them?”

“Done with the first set actually… In between missions, sleep and the little bit of time with RINZ and Jeane I was reading…”

“And we only just told you about this how long ago… You are qualified even if you need to grow up and learn how to command effectively those things are what we will be stationing staff here to help you and your crew with but you will be in charge.”

“I’ve read that some of the people in government here started out as Captains this young… but… seriously…”

“They were given their role because of special circumstances… You are being trained how to do it right… That is the key difference between you, the President, Misuki Raion, Alex Werner and Sakura Carain.”

“But… I’m still a kid… how do you expect me… I mean… I was on Student Council but this… this is a bit much…”
“So you do not want the assignment?” Yuka ponders for a moment. She was worried… She was unstable mentally and she wanted friends… Not to oversee close to a hundred lives but the idea did seem intriguing to her.
“I’ll … do it… I just don’t want anyone to die…”
“No commander does.”
“Are you… sure I can even do this…”
“Leadership qualities develop over time with experience… Give us the chance to teach you properly and you will make a wonderful commander… I would not have given you charge over the away teams at your age and experience level if I did not have faith in your ability to lead others. My superiors agree with that and besides you have a wonderful… yet strange… group of people here to help you through this new adventure you are going to undertake. Have faith in your people just like the Executive Office and I have faith in you.” Yuka nods then Sophie stands and picks up something off of the table on the side of the room and brings it over opening it. “Stand for me…” Yuka does so. “Lieutenant Yuka Layton by order of the Federation President and Minister of Defense and War I have been authorized to present you with these rank pips. The paperwork has already been processed… Under the authority of the Federation President you are hereby promoted to the rank of Captain with all the responsibilities, rights and privileges afforded to said rank. Command of the Delta Force Starship Lavie will be transferred to you upon arrival at Deep Space 741 and after confirmation of your satisfactory completion of the remaining accelerated command tests.” Sophie offers her the box and Yuka takes it and the two exchange salutes. “A trainer will be meeting us at the station to finish up all the formal requirements but for the moment I suggest you continue to learn all you can about this ship, its people and how to command… There is a whole library of holodeck programs on the subject as well that you will now have access to.” Yuka stared at the box. Sophie dismissed her after saying “The crew will be notified of this change within the hour by the trainer… Your dismissed…” Yuka left her office holding the box still but deciding to put her hand in her pocket as not to draw to much attention until people were officially told. She needed to decompress. Commanding a ship… Who’s idea was this… It obviously was not a joke now but… What kind of stupid idea… She was flabbergasted. She went and sat in the mess hall setting the box on the table in front of her staring at it.

[TAG Any]

[OOC: The email would arrive to everyone that is in the logs/messaging forum as she is staring into this box.]

<start sim> Yuka had just left the room and stood there for a moment "stupid..." she whines she prepared to leave to find somewhere to drown her feelings in.

momoss [7:09 AM]
RINZ seems to have lost connection with his avatar abruptly, it turns out theres something going on with his mech self. The consciousness of the creature is becoming stronger, the Laive didnt have the equipment of the FSF specially designed to keep that consciousness at bay when hes not in use. RINZ woke up about a minute later but wasnt aware of the time gap that went by. He barely saw Yuka leaving.

risaxseph [7:11 AM]
She was mumbling to herself turned away not realizing that he was "awake" now.

[7:12]
(he must realize something happened though because one moment she was next to him and then he wakes up and she's all the way over there)

momoss [7:15 AM]
RINZ ai soon realized however there was something wrong as yuka suddenly was in a differnt location too quickly, almost like she teleported. But that had to been impossible. "Yuka?" Rinz said. He tried to stand but found himself stumbling some. The sync with his avatar body was being thrown off.

risaxseph [7:17 AM]
She turned "oh you finally grace me with your presence oh Lord..." she stared at him for a moment... it looked like he was thinking very hard almost struggling to do something. "Eh... You alright?"

momoss [7:17 AM]
"Something is wrong...connection with avatar is failing..."

[7:19]
"Sync failure 52%"

risaxseph [7:19 AM]
"But your mind and body should... like with Lumiere... uh... is this something to do with the other you; with moving closer help?"

momoss [7:20 AM]
A loud thunderous roar can be heard from within the ship in the direction of the mech bay which somewhat answers her question.

[7:21]
RINZ holds his head seemingly in conflict with something.

[7:24]
Stuff can be heard trashing about from the mech bay. "Angry...a lot of anger..." Rinz avatar struggles to say. The Ai loses connection again and he collapses to the floor.

risaxseph [7:25 AM]
"..." Yuka opens a comm line in her VX. "Layton to sickbay medical emergency in the mess hall." Dr. Petell responds " Medical team en route." The doctor and nurse soon arrive. "Something is wrong with his... like connection." Yuka said referring to RINZ. Petell scans him. The first notice of some chemicals are off and uses a Hypospray on him. This decreases some of the chemical imbalance making the mental connection process easier. "I'd advise moving him closer to his host."

[7:26]
"Can we do that?" The doctor asks RINZ

momoss [7:27 AM]
The AI starts to regain conciousness. "Host is angry...I am having trouble to keep control on the body"

[7:28]
"It seems is no longer in a passive state"

risaxseph [7:31 AM]
Yuka and the team take him to the Mech bay. They seat him close to his mech self but still far enough away that if it starts to flail around or something that he wouldn't be hit by it. Yuka walks towards the Mech. The doctor and nurse are too focused on RINZ human form to notice what she's doing. She goes over to the Mech body and even though she knows his feeling is not that sensitive she still knows that he can since she's here so she kind of hugs the Mech. "It's okay... just let me know what I can do to help you." She said soothingly.

[7:32]
(She wants to help lol)

[7:33]
(giant Godzilla creature being sued by a little girl)

[7:33]
(Soothed)

momoss [7:34 AM]
The mech seems to be only able to move certain parts of him (the parts that are still connected to bone and muscle) It roars again but seemingly not as loud as the first time. The roar revealed that the head of the mech was an armored helmet the whole time as there was a joint that allowed the jaw to move.

[7:35]
The mech seems very upset

[7:35]
Though calling it a mech probably is not appropriate anymore

risaxseph [7:39 AM]
Yuka climbs up him forcing open the hatch and going inside. She closes the hatch and goes to the gunner seat much closer to the head. She leans herself up beside the metal frame at its smallest point. She starts humming a soothing song just leaned as close as she can get to him. She programs the gunner control system to transfer all controls from the pilot seat to up there. She manually moves the Mech out of the bay for the safety of the crew and everyone else there. She was not afraid but she didn't want anyone to get hurt.

[7:40]
(she's doing all this well basically trying to calm him down and she's also not seated so any jolt or anything like that could actually knock her over)

[7:42]
She has her VX activate it's field generator so that it can create a temporary atmosphere. She has it use most of its remaining energy to envelop both herself and RINZ head in the event that he needs oxygen.

[7:43]
She then starts closing her eyes and water starts to come out from the water gem in her pocket. It starts to envelop as much of the creature as it can (she's basically trying to heal and soothe him at the same time.)

[7:43]
(because she doesn't know what's wrong)

[7:44]
(well even though it probably doesn't register much he can probably see that she cares deeply for him)

momoss [7:45 AM]
(alot of tickets)

[7:45]
(gonna be busy a sec)

risaxseph [7:46 AM]
( that's fine it's why I stopped posting for sec. I'm going to go grab breakfast)

momoss [8:03 AM]
The LED eyes on the creature slowly fade on as it seemed to be able to find a way to activate them and see, either that or the AI did it to help try and calm him cause he was blind before. He looks around and sees stars everywhere as hes floating in space. The water from Yuka feels nice to the parts of his body that still retained some feeling including parts of his neck and face. He seems to stop roaring and instead gives off some sad noise similar to how a whale sounds. It seems like the creature is in a flood of emotions at the moment as it just seemed like yesterday to him the things that happened to him.

[8:03]
He wants to go home but doesnt know how

risaxseph [8:07 AM]
"I wish I could do more for you." She said rubbing the thin metal. The point she was that had the thinnest point of metal in the entirety of the cockpit to where he could almost feel her touch. "I'm sorry... I couldn't let them continue to do what they were doing but I obviously didn't get there fast enough... at least we got you away from them..."

[8:09]
"You know what would probably help you too... the AI you suggested... he and I... do things inside you... it might help get some of your emotions out... I don't really know how any of this works but anything I can do to help..."

momoss [8:13 AM]
The creature seems to murmur something but just sounds like reptile stuff. Probably reminds her of some old japanese big monster the way he sounds. He seems to be more relaxed now, he liked all the stars around in the space environment. He didnt need to breathe, the FSF made sure of that, they replaced his lungs with some kind of engine intake.

risaxseph [8:15 AM]
She sits up and goes over to the computer opening up it's text monitoring prompt. She tries to decipher its contents to understand what he was saying. Even though his biological because of how integrated everything is there would still be some kind of output in the screen even if it's a bunch of gibberish... she hoped she could make sense of some of the gibberish"

[8:15]
(she's literally up in his command prompt right now)

[8:16]
(she really wants to communicate with him and having a one-way conversation isn't exactly productive)

momoss [8:17 AM]
Through the jibberish there was one word that stood out and seemed to be spelled correctly "Hurt"

risaxseph [8:19 AM]
"you're in pain..." she puts the remainder of her mental energy into the water gem focusing on increasing its diameter to allow it to cover more of a surface area to give him some kind of relief. There wasn't much else she could do for him right now.

[8:22]
As she's doing this she curls up and move herself as close as she can possibly get continuing to focus on trying to give him some relief. Even though most of his experiences with her were through his AI he could sense that she genuinely cared about him.

[8:22]
(she's got herself a giant Godzilla pet)

momoss [8:23 AM]
The creature could only make simple responses, he didnt have an advanced vocabulary like humans as they had a simpler language. But he seemed to understand she was not related to the people who did this to him. "Why. Why take from home. Why no kill me, why do this?"

[8:25]
RINZ Ai seemed to be helping to translate what the creature was trying to say.

risaxseph [8:26 AM]
"I don't know... evil is all I can think"

momoss [8:27 AM]
"Many lights from sky. Fire everywhere. Family scared. Everyone run. They hunt us. No more home..."

risaxseph [8:30 AM]
"Wait... they... destroyed?" She said taken aback by the short story. FSF people were truly heartless if they could do this to another civilization and then plan to do this to humanity as well. She needed to stop them one way or another... even though that Jim guy said he brought her here by mistake she understood now maybe this might not have been a mistake. She was here for a reason.

momoss [8:32 AM]
"Dont know... They take me."

"They turn me monster"

risaxseph [8:35 AM]
"... I will stop them... I'll try to help you get better too... when I said to you earlier that I belong to you... I meant it." Him mentioning the loss of his home and being separated from his family reminded her of her own situation and this whole thing brought her to tears. She had to start a new life and had lost everyone that she knew but she had gained new friends here... She didn't want people to continue to be hurt.

momoss [8:35 AM]
"tail missing... they cut"

[8:35]
"they cut many things from me"

[8:36]
"cannot feel much anymore"

risaxseph [8:37 AM]
"if those scientists who made the other body for you were able to make you whole again..."

momoss [8:40 AM]
"They attach things... and control me" Yuka probably starts to realize the armor on the mech is not just armor, but is also binders. Suppressors to keep control on the creature so it cannot move whenever it wants.

[8:41]
"Alien controls things" The creature then starts talking about the AI Rinz

risaxseph [8:41 AM]
she uses her VX to make a mental link with the human RINZ "can you disable all of limiters"

momoss [8:43 AM]
"Are you sure is wise? The creature seems emotionally distraught...though I now understand why... I never knew anything about this. There was no record of it anywhere. At least...nothing I had access to. There are some files encrypted and blocked I cannot access...perhaps thats what those are." the AI responsd

risaxseph [8:46 AM]
"... well... my security clearance with being a captain in trinity should help with that. She goes back to the terminal extremely mentally and physically exhausted at this point. Considering all of the emotional issues she was already going through this just made things worse for her but even though she felt drained and felt emotionally broken she felt oddly some new resolve. She uses her level nine clearance to unlock anything she was able to. Being part of trinity her normal captain level nine clearance was actually closer to that of what a one star admiral would have because of the nature of Trinity's mission.

[8:47]
(in other words if her clearance can't unlock it... then Someone at the top of FSF is behind all of this stuff.)

momoss [8:48 AM]
Her clearance unlocks a classified file titled Project ZEUS. It explains in detail how they planed to make a superior mecha weapon utilizing advanced cybernetics on a large organism

[8:50]
There are pictures showing various stages of development with one showing all his limbs removed

[8:50]
Videos of weapons testing

[8:51]
RINZ is actually one of many attempted prototypes, he was the only one to survive conversion, several others died.

risaxseph [8:52 AM]
"... Who in fleet command would authorize something this- ... I hope the president authorizes me to kill these bastards." She thinks to herself. She had the new resolve but right now she... she didn't know how much more she can handle... she was just a teenage college student after all and no amount of training with change that... she could barely manage her own relationships much less deal with some conspiracy to make super weapons buy some horribly evil special forces branch who believes they're better than everyone else.

momoss [8:53 AM]
"This is what I am then... I wish it was under better circumstances..." RINZ Ai says.

risaxseph [8:55 AM]
Convinced she had managed to stabilize him she manually piloted him back in the bay. She then pulled back the water power and her shield and got out. She just stared at the three people in the room one at a time and then she just walked out of the room without saying anything.

[8:55]
(That just fucked her up even more than she was already fucked up)

[8:57]
Dr. Petell had his nurse go back to the Medical bay as things were pretty much stable here.

[8:57]
"what exactly happened in there?" The doctor asked

momoss [8:59 AM]
Human Rinz looks up at the mecha RINZ "I apologize. I cant really undo what has happened to you. But maybe I can help you understand many things, we are a part of eachother. The people are not all bad." human Rinz says to him.

[9:02]
Rinz limbs were unlocked by the ai as soon as he felt the emotions calm from the large creature and the big "mech" proceeded to curl up in a sleeping position on the floor.

risaxseph [9:07 AM]
The doctor takes another scan of him and after ensuring that he is OK he decides to scan the Mech. He is seen enough in his life to connect the dots. He just nods. "Well looks like what's left of her mental stability just went out the window... but yes he is right... there are some really bad humans but there are some really good ones too... i'm not exactly familiar with your physiology so I don't know what exactly we would be able to do for you here but I'm certain that there are others who can do more for you. I'll be returning to sickbay now if I'm needed." Dr. Petell leaves and heads back to medical. Yuka had only managed to make it down the hall and just stared into a doorway. The door opened itself. There was no one inside the room... this didn't really matter to her though she just fell to her knees and started to cry. She wanted to be strong but she couldn't be... she was a fool but hopefully she could make a difference in someone's life.

[9:09]
She too curled into a ball on the ground she couldn't let what she just witnessed go unnoticed

momoss [9:14 AM]
RINZ ai tried to mend some things with the creature. he stayed with it and they seemed to have a mental link together. The sync was restored however now the subconscious of the large creature would not return back to a passive state. It remained active. This will have an affect on the AI and the creature as their minds and knowledge will start to merge.

risaxseph [9:22 AM]
She cried for awhile then stopped. She got up and just walked back to the bay. She looked like hell frozen over though... it seemed so she really didn't care though

[9:23]
She just sat cross legged staring at the two RINZ

momoss [9:29 AM]
Human rinz seemed to have fallen asleep as his ai returned back to his main body. The mech rinz led eyes blinked for a little bit and his head turned a little to look at Yuka

[9:31]
" I'll be okay. This can be a home too. People here are nice to RINZ." the creature said. Seemed to be like the ai and creature were talking simeltaneously.

risaxseph [9:33 AM]
"I... don't know if I can do this..." she said honestly though

momoss [9:34 AM]
"Why?" Rinz asked

risaxseph [9:40 AM]
"I'm nothing I... can't flight that... "

[9:40]
(On a bus response delayed a bit)

momoss [9:41 AM]
"Why do you say that?" Rinz asks

risaxseph [9:42 AM]
"I'm just some kid... like... your so out of my league... and I can't fight those FSF people..."

momoss [9:47 AM]
"You must be here for a reason." Rinz says

[9:47]
"Or they wouldnt have bothered to summon you" Rinz says

risaxseph [9:48 AM]
"I uh you know... I'm tired... cuddles..."

momoss [9:49 AM]
Rinz led eyes blink with that response

risaxseph [9:49 AM]
(Almost at university hospital)

[9:52]
"Seriously... my mind was frazzled before... now I'm just... I don't even know anymore... like... I can't even think straight..."

momoss [9:53 AM]
Rinz sits up some and carefully picks up his human avatar placing it into his cockpit as it opens up in his chest. "It was me who was hurt." Rinz says

risaxseph [9:55 AM]
"I wish I could show you my past... soldiers destroyed your home... my family was just burned alive..."

momoss [9:58 AM]
"The alien is helping me to understand. I think you call it a computer. It is something machine in nature but it is alive somehow like I am. I am sorry for your family." Rinz says

risaxseph [9:59 AM]
"I... don't you know me?"

momoss [10:00 AM]
"The alien knows you more than I do. But I am learning quickly, he is a fast talker." Rinz says

[10:01]
His speech seems to be better, hes talking more like RINZ does. Perhaps they are becoming one in the same.

risaxseph [10:02 AM]
"So uh... I'm so confused..."

[10:04]
"Hopefully he at least remembers I'm his girlfriend..." she thinks to herself. "Such a pain... why can't life be less traumatic..." she mumbled

momoss [10:08 AM]
"I havent forgotten. I'm sorry if its confusing but I'm being brought up to speed...the both of us. We are not separate entities anymore now." the large creature says.

risaxseph [10:14 AM]
(In with a dr bbs)

risaxseph [10:38 AM]
(Done here) "the human you will still exist too?" She asks

[10:40]
"And uh... was I of any actual help?"

momoss [10:41 AM]
"You did help, I was feeling bad... But now I feel a little better at least. The avatar is linked to us. I control it" Rinz says

[10:43]
Rinz sits down and seems to go into a stand by mode as the cockpit opens back up, the avatar now awake as he gets out. The AI is not just controlling it anymore. Both minds are in there now.

risaxseph [10:45 AM]
She's still just sitting there. It's obvious from looking at her though that she's fried, frazzled and full of emotions. She sort of lost herself during that and just focused on keeping him going until she literally couldn't take anymore

[10:46]
(When she was crying on the floor and got up she hasn't even reordered herself from that disheveled state

[10:46]
)

momoss [10:47 AM]
The human rinz comes over to hug Yuka seemingly needing it for himself too

risaxseph [10:50 AM]
She responds to his hug by hugging him back. Something felt different though like some of her happiness had disappeared. She reacted to his need for help by partly doing herself in in the process.

momoss [10:54 AM]
"Its strange to see the world from this view, its my first time in here. I dont know how its all possible. The computer tried to explain but I'm very new to this thing called technology but it seems very ingrained into my being. Theres a lot of new vocabulary I'm getting used to, your language is very complex but learning seems to come easy for me. I guess its that technology helping." Rinz says It would seem the creature has the main control now and the ai took more of a sub role. The personalities seemed to have merged into one being. He knows everything the AI knows now and remembers how it felt. The creature could understand feelings a lot better than the ai though.

risaxseph [10:56 AM]
"... I see..."

momoss [10:58 AM]
"Maybe we should leave from here. We could go to that holodeck and go to a nice place." Rinz says

risaxseph [10:58 AM]
She didn't really seem to have a response to anything.

[11:00]
"I just.... I.... don't know."

momoss [11:00 AM]
"What is bothering you Yuka?" Rinz says

risaxseph [11:05 AM]
"Honestly... I'm just... I feel like I accomplished nothing since I been here... you've been hurt, they want me to take on some role I never even considered being possible... I feel too like I won't get to see any of you guys during this whole training thing... I need you... I don't want to be alone anymore! The world is too cruel!"

momoss [11:11 AM]
"Maybe you know more than you think you do in regards to some things, you just have to have some more confidence in yourself." RINZ says.

risaxseph [11:11 AM]
(almost home this actually works very well to do it this week. That way we can actually get things done well)

[11:15]
"Uh... so... do you think I'm ... adequate?" She asked (she's asking in more ways than one)

[11:17]
(she sees the other him as a different person... even though they both merge together so they're basically the same person)

momoss [11:17 AM]
"Yes, but I think more you need to believe that yourself. In my world I am from only the strong and confident survived. You have to be strong or you will never rise up." Rinz says.

risaxseph [11:23 AM]
"..."

momoss [11:27 AM]
"Perhaps maybe some rest would be better, it can help to settle some things. I think I need that myself honestly. Im going to go to that place that can make stars, that holodeck. Would you like to come too?" rinz asks

risaxseph [11:29 AM]
"Er... I'm ... - sure" she kisses him briefly

momoss [11:34 AM]
Rinz smiles and gently rubs his forehead against hers. It his body language for being affectionate as he holds her hand. "Let us go there then" Rinz says

risaxseph [11:37 AM]
"OK... You want confidence." (She's done that before too) "You should bed Lumiere... I've got some ideas of payback for her and her... getting at me!" Yuka said as she led the way to the holodeck.

[11:37]
(She wants to rock Lavie's world)

momoss [11:38 AM]
"You are referring to the ship computer?" Rinz asks

risaxseph [11:41 AM]
"Her entire consciousness was transferred to a human body so she was the computer but she's actually a person now and she gave herself a name so I call her by that name... it's a respect thing even if she doesn't deserve my respect... for one you don't go up in somebody when they're having sex and for two... you don't go taking advantage of somebody when they're vulnerable. Well I can think of exceptions to that but seriously what she did it wasn't OK... even if you and the other you became one... you still have a lot to learn about humanity and you asked me to teach you... so..." she sticks out her tongue at him.

[11:42]
"just cause you understand emotions doesn't mean you understand how people work..." she said matter-of-factly

momoss [11:44 AM]
"People are complicated. I think my life was simpler, well it used to be." Rinz said

risaxseph [11:46 AM]
"It May have been but it probably wasn't the same... screw it..." she sighs "part of my problem is I am horny... there I said it... you happy now..." she mumbles obscenities under her breath.

[11:47]
(Her mood right now is....erratic)

[11:48]
(Finally! Fuck you bus system.... I'm in my dorm now)

[11:48]
(Stupid rain....)

[11:49]
(have you had lunch yet?)

momoss [11:49 AM]
"You are wanting to mate? Under the stars is a great place for that." Rinz says with a grin

risaxseph [11:50 AM]
she immediately blushes "awh.... sex under the stars sounds divine actually... i've never done it outside before..." (trash)

[11:52]
"it's just like I explained to you before there's more to sex than just mating... it's why humans call it making love."

momoss [11:53 AM]
"I am sorry, Im still accustomed to how I call it. Urges are strong to mate once they are triggered." Rinz says

risaxseph [11:54 AM]
She giggles

[11:56]
"you should look through your buddies memories and access the ships computer... there's a whole fun load of shit you can learn... some of it is actually pretty risqué" she said the last part winking

momoss [11:57 AM]
"I know what he knows, I took the liberty of adding a few things" Rinz said

risaxseph [11:58 AM]
"are some of them new positions?" She said teasingly

momoss [12:00 PM]
"Perhaps." Rinz says

risaxseph [12:04 PM]
They arrive at the holodeck door. Yuka uses one of her own programs. It is a slightly forested area near a small lake. Next to the lake there is a planter full of beautiful flowers along with some chairs and containers that have food and drink. The lake has a very small beach where these things are. it is surrounded by beautiful night sky. This resembles a place near her past home.

[12:05]
She opens the door to the program

[12:07]
She has the holodeck change her clothes into a bikini with shorts and sandals. She immediately heads for the water.

[12:08]
(these future holodeck can make your clothes disappear and turn into something else. Because they basically just use energy to re-create the objects.)

momoss [12:08 PM]
Rinz walks in with her. "Quite remarkable such an environment can be created inside a machine. Our kind never thought of doing such things, but then again our life was pretty simple... It reminds me of home somewhat." Rinz said

risaxseph [12:09 PM]
"this is a little secluded place by where I grew up... it's absolutely wonderful... it probably no longer exists though..."

[12:10]
She proceeds to swim a little letting out some of her physical energy and emotional tension undoing so

[12:11]
In doing

momoss [12:11 PM]
"Its odd for me to swim without my tail...but I guess I can re-learn how to do it." Rinz says as he takes off his shirt before entering the water

The two eventually took a nap.
