<Sandwitches> The trio manage to get to the top...  where it looks like theres a straight shot to the Main central building...  but there seem to be guards near the front entrance.
<RickDominated> "Alright....Chara, isn't this where you wanted to make a whole big scene?"
<Sharon_Apple> "You want me to wreck their shit?"
<Seri> "Enjoy yourself, alright?"
<Sharon_Apple> "You two bring back some good souvenirs!"
<RickDominated> "...are you sure you'll be alright? They're pretty ah... there are probably a bunch of them."
<Sharon_Apple> "Yeah, I figured. But they're Titans, right?"
<RickDominated> "Yeah, pretty much."
<RickDominated> "Or Corperate Security Goons... but not the Turks. The Turks are all alright."
<Sharon_Apple> "Yeah, I'll be fine. You think I'd let some fucking Titans goons beat me?"
<RickDominated> "Well, if you get incapacitated I can help you out..."
<Seri> "What do the Turks look like? So she'll know who not to make splat."
<RickDominated> "Oh, they're...not around. But Snazzy suits. You could see Rude's bald spot from Orbit."
<Sharon_Apple> "Gotcha. Now get moving. I can't wait much longer..."
<RickDominated> "...right, Dita? We should probably get moving...just...ah....." She purses her lips, and hands Chara the biggest Materia she has, a dusky little blue thing that's as big as a good sized pear. "....that's Life. It's a bit special to me, so make sure I get it back, okay?"
<Seri> Dita nods and grabs the ninja's hand. "Let's move!"
<Sharon_Apple> She holds it up to the light, then... quietly slots it into her weapon, throwing off the sheet. "You'll get it."
<RickDominated> She nods and tugs Dita a bit off to the side, Ninja Walking in a quite effective manner
<Sharon_Apple> And then Chara swings her weapon aloft, neon lights flickering to life, and charges the entrance, screaming, "TITANS! PREPARE YOUR ASSES!"
<Sandwitches> The guards at the front leap to attention...  they're DEFIENTELY Titans...  and some of the non-humman ones.  Green warty skin staring out over the uniforms as they draw their weapons!
<Sandwitches> ------------------------------------------------------------
* RickDominated (~Rickles@187C8751:FFA0A364:6260741A:IP) has left #GAID2N2 (Leaving)
* RickDominated (~Rickles@187C8751:FFA0A364:6260741A:IP) has joined #GAID2N2
<RickDominated> Inside, Yuffie has slipped into the building from behind, a little wide eyed at the sounds of Carnage. "...well....lets get up the elevator then." She produces a Ninja Keycard and slides it into an executive elevator...but her carefree attitude is at odds with what she's doing otherwise....carefully and methodoically disabling cameras and scanners with Shuriken, staying in the shadows.
<Seri> Dita offers assistance, pulling any number of obscure and bizarre items out of her outfit, including a small camera, to fool one sensor with... a picture of the hallway.
* AdventFalls has quit (Remote host closed the connection)
<RickDominated> "...that's a great trick! Are you sure you're not a Ninja?"
<Sandwitches> The titans don't seem to have noticed them yet...  though The many goblins and humans and even a small white fluffy creature with tiny wings and a red pom on its head in titans uniforms seem to be diverted off towards Chara...  The few Shinra staff still in the building staying out of the way.
<Seri> "Just a magical space pirate! I'm always prepared for boarding... mostly."
<RickDominated> "...I hope your friend can handle all that."
<Seri> "Iiiii'm sure she'll be okay. I wonder what that fluffy thing was though. It looks super snuggly."
<RickDominated> "Oh, that's a moogle. ...they're kind of butts a lot of the time. Rally Magical and stuff."
<Seri> "I don't really get what you mean. Still adorable though. I want one."
<Sandwitches> The duo manage to make their way towards some of the adminstrative offices, as they pass through they catch sight of a handfull of titans personell in some of the offices, but most are empty...
<RickDominated> "This looks like a good place to scout around...the signs say this is the Midgar Development Department..."
<Seri> "Okay, let's get this operation underway."
<Sandwitches> After a bit further they manage to find the office they're looking for...  The office of the "Head of Urban Development"...  Though that Title seems to have been replaced with "Acting President"...  Reeve Tuesti.
<RickDominated> "And...here we are...we're gonna ransack this office! Get all the information we can, right from the top!"
<Seri> Dita motions to the name on the door. "Okay. You know who this Reeve person is?"
<RickDominated> "He's the Acting President of the Company. Real Bigshot!"
<Seri> "Ahh. Well, let's go on in."
<RickDominated> She grins, and sets herself up....and kicks in the door!
<Sandwitches> And...  finds a rather exasperated middle aged bearded man in a suit.  "...  One of these days I'm going to need to teach you how to properly use a door."
<RickDominated> "One of these days you're going to remember I'm the greatest Ninja in all the World!"
<Seri> Dita lets out a little squee and leaps at the figure to hug him. "You're the super nice guy from the radio!"
<RickDominated> "...oh, you're a fan of Radio Free Shinra?"
<Seri> "Not that radio."
<Sandwitches> Dita damn near tackles him out of his chair.  "Ooof...  Ah, you're the girl from before."  she smiles sligthly.
<Sandwitches> "He*
<RickDominated> "But yes...this is Reeve! He's an old friend..." She smiles a bit more genuinely. "She's looking for something to hug, can you hook a Ninja up while we're here?"
<Sandwitches> Reeve chuckles, and produces a small stuffed Black cat with a crown from under his desk, and offers it to Dita.  "So...  I imagine that the woman punching goblins out front of the office was with you?"
<Seri> Dita picks up the tiny cat and squeezes it. "Yes! She's uhh... well, she's a recent meeting, and good at keeping people's attention."
<RickDominated> "So we figured she'd rough up some of your new "Friends" and keep things interesting for us. You're the only member of AVALANCHE who can just use the front door, you know?" She says casually.
<Sandwitches> He shrugs.  "Not that I can really leave anymore...  They've been keeping a pretty close eye on me now."  Reeve admits.  "They've been doing a pretty damn good job keeping me on my toes...  its all I can do to stop them from trying to draft every refugee who comes to the slums."
* Disconnected (An established connection was aborted by the software in your host machine).
* Now talking on #GAID2N2
<Seri> "So... a lot of people have been pressganged to join them, with no other option?"
<Sandwitches> "No, thats basically the only thing I've really be able to stop them from doing."
<Seri> "Ahhh... okay then. What else have they done here?"
<Sandwitches> "They've taken control of the Mako Reactors, and what remained of Shinra's Weapons Development, Science, and Space Development divisions.  They've been refitting the factories to produce mobile suits and mobile suit weaponry..."
<Sandwitches> Reeve pulls out a small folder and places it on the table.
<Seri> "...What's a Mako Reactor?"
<RickDominated> "Draws Power Right from the Lifestream."
<Sandwitches> "...  Something that never should have existed."  Reeve admits.  "They were machines that used the Lifestream to generate electricity...  I'm fairly certain they're drawing on somethign ELSE here though, and I had intended to shut them down...  But then all of this happened."
<Sandwitches> "The Titans came in, along with their Army of Goblins and...  I was left with two options, let them in peacefully, or watch as they went wild on everyone between them and Sector Zero."
<Seri> "...The souls and essence we were sensing in there... I know they're pulling from that at least."
<Sandwitches> "You two came for information, right?"
<Seri> Dita nods slowly. "Yep!"
<RickDominated> "Yep, Well, and I wanted to get her a Cait."
<Sandwitches> "Then...  I think theres something I can do to help..."  He opens the folder, revealing a series of documents, with Pictures and information... "I can give you the Leaders of the Titans...  The real question is going to be if we can beat them."
<Seri> "Oooh, that's gonna help a lot. This is called a Cait though? It's really adorable." She's still snuggling the doll.
<RickDominated> "Well, I'm sure we'll give it a good shot, it's what we do, you know?" She smirks a bit of a sad smile to Reeve. "Well, still... We'll try it anyway. ....and it's a cat, see? They're popular around here and at the Golden Saucer."
<Sandwitches> The first image of flaming figure in armor, with a pair of large horns...
<Sandwitches> https://tinyurl.com/kmjh9rt
<Sandwitches> “This is Doomrider.  He's not really what I'd call one of their leaders, but...  He's one of their big guns.  He's some kind of eidolon, that they've managed to set up to summon into their mobile suits, and the cost of the pilot.  He is incredibly powerful, and incredibly random.  He seems to be living on the servers of the main barracks when not engaged in combat.”
<Sandwitches> The second image is of a green haired young man in a labcoat over a bodysuit...
<Sandwitches> https://tinyurl.com/yb9j4hlu
<Sandwitches> “This is 'Doctor West'.  He is apparently something known as an 'Infernal'...  An incredibly powerful magical human.  He's also a mad scientist, who's taken over Dr. Hojo's labs and been using them to cook up a lot of crazy technology I can't even really start to comprehend.”
<Sandwitches> The next is what looks like an orange monkey with a pair of sunglasses, a microphone, and a small teddybear at his waist.
<Sandwitches> https://tinyurl.com/yba3jqhp
<Sandwitches> “This is Etemon...  A Digital Lifeform that has been working with Doctor West.  He seems to think that he's some kind of musical prodigy, and is constantly performing concerts.  He also is more than capable of ripping mobile suits apart with just the power of his voice.”
<Sandwitches> The next one doesn't have a a picture...
<Sandwitches> “I've not actually met Paptimus Scirocco in person.  He's not even come to Midgar.  He's been staying in some kind of underwater base they have nearby...  The way I understand it though, he is a powerful psychic and commander...”
<Sandwitches> “That just leaves...” Reeve sighs...  “The big one.  The True power behind the Titans here.”
<Seri> Dita raises a hand as she glances over the pictures. "We beat the Doomrider out in space, when we fought the Titans before. The next two look crazy though... and I want that teddy bear. The commander though... he'll probably be the hardest of that set to crack, from what I've heard."
<Sandwitches> "The way I understand it, defeating him while he's summoned isn't enough to get rid of him permanently...  you'd need to defeat him on the other side."  Reeve explains.
<RickDominated> "They're all pretty bad news, yeah.... But we'll have to be careful..."
<Sandwitches> “This last one is the man who leads the Goblins...  The “Goblin King”, Filial Wisdom.”  The last image is of a golden haired man in similarly golden armor, with a blazing sigil of the sun on his forehead.  “The man is unlike anything we've ever seen before Yuffie.  He seems to use similar abilities to what Dr West uses, but...  to a much more extreme extent.  While Dr West uses primarily magitechnology, Wisdom literal
<Sandwitches> ly does everything with his Will alone.”  Reeve shakes his head.  “He defeated a Weapon Class Entity on his own, in less than a minute.  On top of that, he seems to have an almost magical level of charisma.”
<Seri> "..........." Dita is just... completely silent.
<RickDominated> "...wow....he makes Sephiroth look like a kitten."
<Sandwitches> "I was debating putting it like that.  Because...  Yeah, he really DOES."
<RickDominated> "...kinda wish I had Bahamut ZERO around about right now."
<Sandwitches> "But...  We don't..."  Reeve looks over to Dita.  "Instead we have a Super Robot, and whatever friends it has."
<Seri> "More big robots, and we're working on some space colonies, building allies."
