  2. [2011-02-16 14::09:37] Dmitriy_Platonov: [05:17] <Doink> Al-Misiri: "I guess you heard of their 'scenario?' According to it, we are to turn over control of the Fragment at a particular time, and transport it back to Leng. There are machines there which would... well, with the power of the Fragment, they would do just about whatever they want with them."
  3. [2011-02-16 14::09:37] Dmitriy_Platonov: [05:18] <Dmitriy_Platonov> "When is it going to happen?"
  4. [2011-02-16 14::09:37] Dmitriy_Platonov: [05:19] <Doink> Carter: "As for their alliance with the Carcosan... I must admit we are as ignorant as you in that regard. It appears their Scenario has changed since our... defection."
  5. [2011-02-16 14::09:37] Dmitriy_Platonov: [05:19] <Doink> Carter: "According to the plan as we knew it, in December of this year. Given our recent behavior and their possession of a working Evangelion, though, that timetable is likely to accelerate."
  6. [2011-02-16 14::09:37] Dmitriy_Platonov: [05:21] <Dmitriy_Platonov> "I see. Can we guess anything about the King? What can be his profit in this? Is he a creature of our universe or an outsider?"
  7. [2011-02-16 14::09:37] Dmitriy_Platonov: [05:23] <Doink> Al-Misiri: "He's a Great Old One, but a particularly powerful one... and a very hard one to predict. If his legend is to be believed, though, he would be trying to bring our world into Carcosa, as he has so many others. But I honestly can't tell you how that would tie into HOST's plan, unless they plan to sacrifice the rest of humanity to his whims after they 'transcend'."
  8. [2011-02-16 14::09:42] Dmitriy_Platonov: something like that
  9. [2011-02-16 14::09:49] Mia_al-Misiri: Yeah I was about to post that lol
  10. [2011-02-16 14::09:50] Doink: heh, just barely beat me to it
  11. [2011-02-16 14::10:10] Mia_al-Misiri: mia isn't actually doing much here but I want to see what else could happen
  12. [2011-02-16 14::11:46] Doink: Alright, so lets just pick up right there. I'll just splice the logs together later
  13. [2011-02-16 14::11:53] Doink: [START]
  14. [2011-02-16 14::12:27] Dmitriy_Platonov: After hearing Al-Misiri's last phrase, Dmitriy looks down for a moment. These words are too terrible. "So they are going just... left us behind, to be the prey to whatver monsters would hunt us? This is even worse than I thought at first."
  15. [2011-02-16 14::13:51] Mia_al-Misiri: is still nervous, mouth hanging open slightly, but at least guns aren't being pointed at people! She stays quiet for the moment though.
  16. [2011-02-16 14::14:49] Doink: Carter: "I am sure that they would claim otherwise. That they couldn't possibly save everyone, and are merely ensuring the survival of the 'best' of humanity."
  17. [2011-02-16 14::15:58] Dmitriy_Platonov: "With "best" being them. Been there, saw that already. But... speaking of few surviving when all others die... How did you two survive there, in Antarctica?"
  18. [2011-02-16 14::21:10] Doink: Carter turns to look towards the Fragment, his back to you. "...There are some questions which are best left unanswered, I believe."
  19. [2011-02-16 14::22:20] Doink: Al-Misiri frowns. "It was Howard that sealed the Fragment again," he says quietly. "It... wasn't a very pleasant procedure."
  20. [2011-02-16 14::24:58] Dmitriy_Platonov: A short pause. "Everyone has their own secrets which should be left in darkness. I understand. So, what is next? The HOST has done its move, it was swift and deadly, and almost brought our defeat upon us. But we are still standing, so we must plan and retaliate."
  21. [2011-02-16 14::30:25] Mia_al-Misiri: "Can I ask a question please?"
  22. [2011-02-16 14::30:30] Mia_al-Misiri: is polite.
  23. [2011-02-16 14::30:45] Doink: Carter: "...Yes you may, Mia. What is it?"
  24. [2011-02-16 14::31:08] Mia_al-Misiri: "What is the host?"
  25. [2011-02-16 14::33:00] Doink: Carter sighs softly.
  26. [2011-02-16 14::34:03] Doink: Al-Misiri: "HOST is a... group that helped pay for NERV, Mia. But they aren't very nice people. They're trying to use us to do bad things."
  27. [2011-02-16 14::35:01] Mia_al-Misiri: "Oh. I thought it was like a big bug thing."
  28. [2011-02-16 14::35:42] Dmitriy_Platonov: "They... hosted the party we've attended, Mia. So you see that they are not nice."
  29. [2011-02-16 14::35:51] Mia_al-Misiri: "So they are hosts?"
  30. [2011-02-16 14::35:59] Mia_al-Misiri: "They host parties."
  31. [2011-02-16 14::36:15] Dmitriy_Platonov: *I think my phrase goes here*
  32. [2011-02-16 14::36:29] Doink: Al-Misiri: "No, Mia, HOST is just an acronymn. It stands for 'The Hermetic Order of the Silver Twilight.'"
  33. [2011-02-16 14::37:10] Mia_al-Misiri: "That's cool! What do those words mean."
  34. [2011-02-16 14::41:08] Doink: Carter: "To answer /your/ question, Dmitriy, we must begin to put a... scenario of our own into practice. We will begin, of course, by outwardly behaving as if we are still in a state of... internal chaos, as they have intended to cause. This will be aided by your continued correspondence with the YGSTH system, in which you will deliver the message that NERV's command is locked in internal disputes over yesterday's... fiasco."
  35. [2011-02-16 14::41:35] Doink: Al-Misiri, quietly: "Not now Mia. I'll explain it later."
  36. [2011-02-16 14::41:57] Mia_al-Misiri: nods and starts not talking again.
  37. [2011-02-16 14::43:53] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Of course. I will contact them, pretend to be panicked, ask them questions about yesterdays's events and their involvements in them. They will likely provide me a half-true answer, a cunning lie to make me cooperate. What should I report about you?"
  38. [2011-02-16 14::48:25] Doink: You can see the corners of a smile on the side of his face. "Oh, that I am swinging between ranting and raving about conspiracies and monsters and slipping into deep depressions. Alfred, of course, is acting as a voice of reason, and holding me back from launching some kind of misguided assault."
  39. [2011-02-16 14::50:33] Mia_al-Misiri: loses interest after a few moments and sits off the edge of the platform, watching the fragment, moving her hand around between her eyes and it and experimenting with its results.
  40. [2011-02-16 14::53:09] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Hmmm. We actually have a good excuse for not launching an assault. The current state of Evangelions... but I guess that we can make them worry a little. Like, saying that I was ordered to work some plans of rather disturbing deployments... They are still humans, I assume, and for a mortal human the prospect of meeting Evangelion in combat is rather terrifying."
  41. [2011-02-16 14::57:31] Doink: Al-Misiri: "Yes, and even with the resources at their disposal, it will be months before they can begin production of their own Evangelion units."
  42. [2011-02-16 14::58:11] Doink: Al-Misiri: "Once they begin, though, working from the Mass-Production model will allow them to build quickly."
  43. [2011-02-16 14::59:40] Dmitriy_Platonov: "But they already have one..." - Dmitriy sighs. - "And it seems to be a quite powerful one. Our pilots outnumbered it and yet they were picked out one by one. If not for D'Ellaine's resolve and deep hatred for that... creature, things could have been worse."
  44. [2011-02-16 15::12:26] Doink: Al-Misiri: "Thankfully, most of that seems to have been the Avatar's doing. With a human pilot, its capabilities would be more in line with our own units. But they could quickly outnumber us."
  45. [2011-02-16 15::14:06] Dmitriy_Platonov: sighs. "Human pilot... Are there any hopes of... saving her?"
  46. [2011-02-16 15::18:28] Doink: Carter turns back towards you. "...That would depend on what you consider 'saving.' There are reports that Ms. Castaigne has been... found by law enforcement outside of the Zone. She is being transported here as we speak. If you wish to... see her, you may. I have been told, though, that she is not a pleasant sight."
  47. [2011-02-16 15::22:58] Dmitriy_Platonov: "That is my work to do so. To know, and to tell mister D'Ellaine what he can expect. This pilot is, probably, our truest possible ally, and I intend to strengthen his loyalty and devotion by telling him bits of awful truth."
  48. [2011-02-16 15::28:06] Doink: Carter nods. "I will leave that up to your... discretion. You know them better than I."
  49. [2011-02-16 15::47:06] Doink: With that, Carter taps his food on a section of the platform, and it begins to again ascend....
  50. [2011-02-16 15::47:10] Doink: [SESSION END]
