TSAB logs FUCKING HUGO

06[19:17] * Altea decided to wander off when things started to get yelly between the girls. And now she's not sure where she is. She's in the facility, like a prison or something, but other than that...
01[19:17] <Altea> What's even worse, her signal is dead on her comm, so she can't get hold of the girls either. Oh well, nothing for it but to finish the mission! Whatever that was!
[19:19] <Ikiryo> There is a LOT of white corridors and large drops around here. It's almost like it's designed to put 'No one escapes' over OH&S.
06[19:20] * Altea thinks that seems unnecessarily dangerous, but whatever, it's a different culture! Time to get to work, who's even around here
01[19:20] <Altea> ?
[19:26] <Ikiryo> ...oh wow, that's a massive dent in that wall. It looks face shaped and left red marks on the wall.
06[19:26] * Altea looks at the dent. Boy, that's a weird design. Maybe some minimalist art?
[19:27] <Ikiryo> Looks to be a bit too much red for minimalist.
[19:30] <Ikiryo> She hears a sound froma nearby airvent. Sounds like someone crying but doing her best not to sound like she is.
06[19:31] * Altea crawls over to the air vent. "Hello? Is someone hiding here?"
[19:33] <Ikiryo> There is the sound of someone retreating further into it. "G-Go away...he'll he'll find me..."
01[19:33] <Altea> "Who'll find you? There's nobody out here."
[19:34] <Ikiryo> "...Koppa Theta."
01[19:34] <Altea> "Oh, that crazy guy from the trial? I don't see him, but if you're worried, I promise I won't let him hurt you."
[19:35] <Ikiryo> "You...you can't stop him...none of the others could..."
01[19:36] <Altea> "Don't worry, I bet I'm stronger than him."
[19:36] <Ikiryo> "W-Who are you?"
01[19:36] <Altea> "I'm Altea! Apparently I need to tell this beforehand, but I'm one of the girls with the TSAB who's on planet."
01[19:36] <Altea> "Also there's a version of me in Myrmidon Wars."
[19:37] <Ikiryo> "Wait...that Altea? Why are..."
06[19:37] * Altea shrugs. "Honestly, I don't know why I'm here. We were doing something for like Dr. D or Athena or someone and then the girls got real yelly and I left, so now I'm here!"
01[19:39] <Altea> "Anyway, have you also heard that I'm super strong and tough and things like that? Cause I hope that's convincing since I'm not great at persuasion."
[19:40] <Ikiryo> A girl slowly slides her way towards the exit of the air vents. It looks a lot like the Selene Altea met before, save that she's wearing a hyperion military uniform. Well, that and the Selene she met before didn't have a bloody bandage covering one of her eyes and one of her bloody sleeves completely empty.
06[19:40] * Altea 's eyes widen. "You need to see a doctor!"
[19:41] <Ikiryo> "He...he already got the Panakeia who was treating me..." She sobs. Oddly enough, it seems Selene blood is a light blue.
06[19:41] * Altea grabs the girl into a big bear hug. "I'm so sorry that happened to you. Let me get you back to the front, then I'm gonna find him and beat the tar out of him1"
[19:43] <Ikiryo> "He...he could still be here...I tried to stop him and..." She starts to wail. "I couldn't stop him killing her."
01[19:43] <Altea> "That's why I need to stop him. It's okay." She lets the girl cry into her shoulder. "I'm not gonna let him hurt anyone else."
06[19:44] * Altea starts calmly walking, carrying the crying girl, back to where she can best figure was the entrance with the Taxiarchos.
[19:44] <Ikiryo> "I'm supposed to be a shock troop...I was here doing a prisoner transfer and..." She hugs onto Altea with her one arm, crying loudly.
06[19:45] * Altea stroke's the girl's hair. The light blue blood staining her clothes doesn't seem to matter to her at all as she keeps walking.
01[19:45] <Altea> strokes*
[19:45] <Ikiryo> "It won't stop hurting...I don't understand why. I'm...I'm built to turn off pain receptors but it won't stop hurting..."
01[19:46] <Altea> "That's because it's not physical pain."
[19:48] <Ikiryo> "I hit him center mass but he didn't even stop. He grabbed me and..." She looks to her missing arm.
06[19:49] * Altea holds the girl closer, her hot blood keeping the girl warm. "I think we're close to the Taxiarchos. I'm pretty sure, all the hallways in this place look the same."
[19:56] <Ikiryo> She's got NO clue how to get back. She spots a medical room though.
06[19:57] * Altea goes in there. "Here's a doctor room, can get you some fresh bandages and maybe figure out how to get back to the front."
[19:58] <Ikiryo> She looks at that room...and goes paler. "N-No...not in there..."
06[19:58] * Altea opens the door. "Hm?"
[20:00] <Ikiryo> ...that might have been a bad decision. A pair of downed Ajax's, one with a scalpel in his back and another one driven halfway through a wall. Along with a Panakeia half buried under a toppled medical cabinet. On the ground is a heavy boarding shotgun and the matching arm to Selene's current one.
[20:01] <Ikiryo> Selene starts to cry again.
06[20:01] * Altea closes the door. "Sorry."
[20:02] <Ikiryo> She wordlessly wails into the girl's shoulder.
01[20:02] <Altea> "Um, do you know how to get back to the front office where the Taxiarchos is?"
01[20:02] <Altea> "Maybe this is a bad time, I'll keep walking." She does just that.
[20:03] <Ikiryo> "Follow the blue line on the floor...that goes to admin. Red is the armoury, green to the cells."
06[20:03] * Altea nods, following the blue line now.
[20:04] <Ikiryo> She sniffles. "If...if you see him, run. Just leave me and run..."
01[20:04] <Altea> "No. Absolutely not."
01[20:04] <Altea> "I meant it when I said I was gonna beat the tar out of him."
[20:06] <Ikiryo> "You can't...I mean...I'm supposed to be better than the Ajax models. Stronger, smarter...but he tore me apart. I barely got away."
01[20:06] <Altea> "It'll be okay. I'm a Giant."
[20:07] <Ikiryo> "But..."
01[20:07] <Altea> "No buts. If he shows up, I beat him up, then take you back to the front."
[20:08] <Ikiryo> "I don't want anyone else to die..."
01[20:09] <Altea> "That includes you. That's why I'm gonna beat him up."
06[20:09] * Altea keeps following the blue line.
[20:10] <Ikiryo> It's not long before she spots a half dozen heavy combat drones. The sort that Mneme used during the fight on mid-childa.
01[20:11] <Altea> "Oh hey, drones. I wonder what they're doing here."
06[20:11] * Altea looks to see if they're exploded.
[20:11] <Ikiryo> They are not. They seem to be guarding the area. They havn't spotten Altea yet.
01[20:13] <Altea> "Hm, well, just in case." She moves Selene to her back, then starts walking towards them.
[20:13] <Ikiryo> She gets arms ending in heavy machine guns pointed at her silently.
01[20:13] <Altea> "Well, that's not going so well. HEY! TAXI DRIVER, I'M NOT AJAX AND I HAVE A GIRL WHO NEEDS SOME MEDICAL HELP."
01[20:14] <Altea> "WAIT, SORRY, IT WAS TAXIARCHOS, NOT TAXI DRIVER. YOU KNOW WHAT, I'M JUST GONNA CALL YOU CAPTAIN."
[20:15] <Ikiryo> A human soon joins them. She's dressed in solid black armour, with a long rifle in her hands. She blinks a few times as she looks over Altea. "Wait...Altea?" Oh hey, it's Paris' sister from the hospital!
01[20:15] <Altea> "Hi Paris's sister from the hospital!"
01[20:15] <Altea> "Selene needs some real help!"
[20:19] <Ikiryo> "Wait...Selene...she's alive?" She brings a hand up to her ears. "Specialist Troia here; We need immediate medical support. We have a survivor, I repeat: a survivor."
06[20:19] * Altea walks up to hand Selene over to Paris's sister.
[20:19] <Ikiryo> The girl staggers slightly. Her hands are a bit full right now.
06[20:20] * Altea finds a good spot to set her down. "Get her fixed up, alright?"
[20:20] <Ikiryo> "Right...but...where did you come from?"
06[20:21] * Altea shrugs. "I'm not actually sure, this hallway doesn't look familiar. I saw the Taxiarchos though."
01[20:21] <Altea> "Anyway, bye." She turns around and starts going back inside.
[20:21] <Ikiryo> "I meant in this building at all. We got called in...wat...
01[20:23] <Altea> "Oh, right, where is Ajax Koppa Theta right now?"
[20:24] <Ikiryo> "We...don't know. The building went dark and then we don't know any more."
01[20:24] <Altea> "Okay, I'm gonna check the cells then. Be back later!"
[20:25] <Ikiryo> "What..."
06[20:25] * Altea is already gone.
06[20:25] * Altea FOLLOWING THE GREEN LINES.
[20:25] <Ikiryo> There is a LOT of downed Ajax's on the way along the green lines. Over several gaps with hard light bridgesover them.
06[20:26] * Altea keeps going, her resolve getting tougher.
[20:29] <Ikiryo> She comes to a pair of massive bulkhead doors with a blue line on them. Driven through them to make an opening is a heavy TAG suit.
06[20:29] * Altea tears the bulkhead open to get through.
06[20:31] * Altea pulls the bulkhead back and walks through
[20:32] <Ikiryo> The TAG slumps down as it's support is removed. It's got several holes in it that seem to be from it's own gun driven into it's torso. Beyond that is a guard room...currently empty.
06[20:32] * Altea keeps walking further into the empty, deadly silent facility.
[20:34] <Ikiryo> Oh hey...the knife in the back of this Ajax model looks odd. Not at all like a hyperion blade.
06[20:34] * Altea grabs the knife, pulling it out with a mumbled "Sorry", and stashing the blade in her pocket.
[20:36] <Ikiryo> She's got no clue about the details but it's definetly not a usual hyperion knife. Those ones tend to be gunmetal grey. This one has white plastic and a slightly glowing red line on it, like it's full of electronics.
06[20:36] * Altea shrugs and puts it away for now. Maybe Tazzari will know.
[20:38] <Ikiryo> It doesn't take long to find the cell with his name on the AR display next to it. The doors are open and a pair of Ajax's slumped next to it. Well, for a value of slumped in one case. Koppa seems to like driving people into things harder than thier skulls.
06[20:38] * Altea frowns. Well, he doesn't seem to be here. Time to try the armory, unless something changes.
06[20:39] * Altea follows the RED line.
[20:40] <Ikiryo> A few turrets pop out of the roof above her...but the wires powering them are severed so they do nothing when they try to fire at her.
06[20:41] * Altea just keeps walking.
06[20:42] * Altea thinks that some of this damage is a little precise for how Ajax KT has been handling things, but quickly dismisses the thought to focus on RED LINE
[20:43] <Ikiryo> The armoury doors are hanging open, something having sliced the controls...
06[20:44] * Altea walks through the door. The damage is weird, but also doesn't know a lot about mass based weapons. Another thing to ask Tazzari!
06[20:45] * Altea starts thinking about swords though. Interesting, maybe it was done from inside. She goes inside after that thinking interruption.
[20:47] <Ikiryo> The armoury is completely cleared out. Not a single weapon left. Some of the AR listing names sound pretty worrying too. Railgun sniper rifle, K-1 grenade launcher, nanopulsar...
01[20:48] <Altea> Those do sound like worrying and dangerous names! But she doesn't know anything about them so she just keeps looking.
[20:49] <Ikiryo> She finds another downed Panakeia. Though she seems completely unharmed...
06[20:49] * Altea kneels next to the Panakeia, shaking her a bit.
[20:49] <Ikiryo> ...and she disolves into dust as Altea touches her.
06[20:49] * Altea 's eyes go wide, and she stands up rapidly.
01[20:50] <Altea> "Someone is gonna get every bone in their body broken. Even the tiny one in your ears!"
[20:50] <Ikiryo> There is no reply to her yelling.
06[20:51] * Altea storms off...somewhere. If he's not in the armory and not in the cells, that leaves...admin? Or was there something she missed?
[20:52] <Ikiryo> There is another line she hasn't followed. A green one.
06[20:52] * Altea follows that one!
[20:53] <Ikiryo> It leads on a sign saying 'Vehicle bay' as it leads up to some more heavy doors.
06[20:53] * Altea goes, at a run!
[20:54] <Ikiryo> The vehicle bay seems morely untouched...save for a single empty bay. Judging by the one next to it, it held military hoverbikes. There is also writing on the wall. Not in hyperionese but in mid-childen.
[20:54] <Ikiryo> It's written...in familiar dust.
[20:54] <Ikiryo> 'The hunter returns'
06[20:55] * Altea growls, punching the nearest heavy object. "I am going to beat you into the SUN Hugo!"
[20:56] <Ikiryo> The atmospheric fighter she hit slams into a wall, crumpling like tinfoil.
01[20:56] <Altea> The nearest heavy object, a transport, flies away and smashes into a row of other transports.
01[20:56] <Altea> REDACT
06[20:57] * Altea runs back to the entrance. She knows exactly who did this. And she knows she's gonna punch his smug face in, break his spear, and return that sword back to Francisco.
[20:57] <Ikiryo> The drones don't stop her this time. It looks like Paris' sister said to allow her through.
06[20:58] * Altea finds Paris's sister who still doesn't have a name.
[21:02] <Ikiryo> She soon finds her, directing combat drones to sweep the facility...keeping a careful link to make sure if one gets taken out another will see.
01[21:02] <Altea> "They're gone, and I know who busted him out. And I am going to punch him forever."
[21:04] <Ikiryo> "...what?"
01[21:05] <Altea> "Hugo Jaeger! He invaded my planet to steal stuff and now he just did the same to your planet!"
[21:11] <Ikiryo> "Wait...who?"
01[21:12] <Altea> "Hugo Jaeger! The jerk from the Belkan family who invaded both of our planets a long time ago!"
[21:15] <Ikiryo> "I know the Jaegers but...who the hell is Hugo?"
01[21:17] <Altea> "He's one of them! Gah, just thinking about his stupid face invading my planet again makes me so mad! If Alexa and Iseult weren't so nice I'd make a really angry comment about Belkans in general, but I won't because they're both super nice and I don't want to be mean to them!"
01[21:18] <Altea> "Look just call Alexa on my comm, I can't even think straight because I'm so angry!"
[21:21] <Ikiryo> "I...ah...we are in communications lockdown. No one inside can call out."
01[21:21] <Altea> "Do it anyway!"
06[21:21] * Altea pauses. "Oh, is Selene okay? Can I go talk to her?" She's not angry anymore, apparently.
[21:22] <Ikiryo> "She's just finished with emergency service." She gestures off to the left. "They said they've done all they can."
01[21:22] <Altea> "Okay, be back later then! Also I'm serious about calling Alexa." She tosses the comm to Ectoras.
06[21:23] * Altea goes to where she gestured to find Selene.
[21:24] <Ikiryo> Selene is sitting on the edge of the table, a new bandage over her eyes and over her arm. She's been given a change of shirt as well.
01[21:24] <Altea> "Selene!" She goes to hug the girl, paying VERY close attention to make sure she doesn't hurt her.
[21:25] <Ikiryo> She blinks. "What...Altea?"
01[21:27] <Altea> "You got a new arm!"
01[21:28] <Altea> REDACT
01[21:28] <Altea> "You're still fine!"
[21:29] <Ikiryo> "Well...sorta. They said they can't fix my arm..." She frowns. "...and I still didn't..."
[21:29] <Ikiryo> She looks about to cry again
06[21:30] * Altea keeps hugging. "I know who did this. I know who broke Ajax Koppa Theta out. He's the worst person I know, and he did something similar on my planet recently."
01[21:30] <Altea> "I'm gonna find both of them and beat them into the ground so hard they'll be mostly diamonds."
[21:31] <Ikiryo> "Really? They said...they said there was some nanite infection on my wounds that means they can't heal it..."
01[21:32] <Altea> "I think that's the Kinslayer Spear. It's a weapon he recovered from my planet."
01[21:33] <Altea> "Or it could be someone else. I found this knife, and I'm gonna get Tazzari to give it a look." She pulls out the strange knife.
[21:35] <Ikiryo> She shakes her head. "That's...well, he took my eye out with it but I've never seen it otherwise..."
01[21:38] <Altea> "Yeah, I'm not sure whose it is, but Tazzari would know."
01[21:39] <Altea> "Anyway, I'm sorry you had to go through that, but me and my squad are gonna find the people responsible and take them down."
[21:41] <Ikiryo> She nods. "I wish I could help but...I don't think I'm much good to anyone now."
06[21:42] * Altea shakes her head. "We both know that's wrong, but you're dealing with some heavy stuff, so it's okay. I don't know if this will actually work, but here's my comm number, call me if you need to and also if that's possible. Also my dad is on the TSAB cruiser, so I guess if for whatever reason you end up in contact with them, he knows how to get hold of me."
01[21:43] <Altea> "Oh, and tell your sister...cousin? Whatever, tell Selene Rho I said hi."
[21:43] <Ikiryo> She nods. "...alright."
01[21:48] <Altea> She gives her another hug. "I'm gonna go find my squad, see you later!"
[21:50] <Ikiryo> "Alright...thank you."
01[21:50] <Altea> "It's no problem. You take care, okay?"
[21:51] <Ikiryo> "You too...he's...he's a monster."
01[21:51] <Altea> "Remember. I'm a Giant. I'm bigger than he'll ever be."
[21:52] <Ikiryo> "I hope so..."
