<Sciencegar> Near Saturn Orbit
<Sciencegar> Clear of the rings, the Ark Liebe drifts, as the red Gundam prepares itself on the prow of the ship.
<Sciencegar> "This....should go smoothly. But I haven't moved something this large before."
<Sciencegar> Liebe seems worried.[Uhmmm, should I be getting ready or something?]
<Sciencegar> "No, the equipment is all in my Gundam. Just maintain all your life support fields, in case of distortion."

<Xanya> Elfriede watches with interest. "I look forward to seeing what you can do, Haptism." She smiles thinly. "No, I look forward to seeing what everyone can do."
<Sandwitches> Illya stands beside her and nods.  "Yes, I'm quite interested as well.
<RickDreissenated> "...I'm still not entirely sure what he's even trying to do here." May purses her lip.
<Anthy> A certain mage with a mix of black and red-orange hair in an overly fluffy and ornate dress yawns, idly spinning in an open seat, leafing through some sort of personal little black book.
<RickDreissenated> "I mean...I can detect the quantum brainwaves and stuff...but what is he DOING with them?"
<Sciencegar> "Please, I've explained this. This is a Zeonic state secret and I really shouldn't be showing you this..."
<Sciencegar> "Preperations are nearly ready. Just trust me, the distance and mass shouldn't be a factor."
<Xanya> "We'll keep it secure, don't worry." Ellen chimes in. "I even promise I won't try to reverse engineer it! I'll leave it entirely to you!"
<sharon_apple> "..." Tellura is seated quietly, working through some documents. It seems like she's decided it's best to keep her head down, as a recent defector from Zeon.
* You are now known as RickDominated
<Sciencegar> The hard voice of Gravitas cuts in [SIMPLEST FOR ME TO SEND THIS FREIGHTER BACK ON AUTOPILOT, AND TO RECONNECT WITH YOU ONCE YOUR JUMPS DONE. SHOULDN'T BE TOO LONG ASSUMING MARTIAN SATELLITES ARE ACCOMODATING.]
<RickDominated> "Careful with Phobos. Only a fool trifles with the moons of Barsoom..." She mutters...where did she get that copy of a Princess of Mars anyway?
<Sciencegar> "What?"
<Sciencegar> [I'LL KEEP THAT IN MIND. MAYBE LOOK INTO SOME ANTIMATTER TO NULLIFY ANY THREAT FROM THAT MOON."
<RickDominated> "Old book. Half naked martian women. You wouldn't be interested."
<Xanya> "... What have you just started, May..."
<Sandwitches> Illya can't help but giggle a bit.
<Anthy> "...See I'd put it more like seven-eights naked with pasties like those." Elli blutnly follows up, giggling herself.
<RickDominated> "It gets hot on Mars. It's why Carter is so oiled up all the time."
<Anthy> "I guess it's time to oil up then?" The mage smirks.
<Xanya> Elfriede rests her head against the wall, though whether out of resignation or to hide laughter is hard to say.
<Sciencegar> "...I get I'm not going to get you all to take this seriously."
<Xanya> "Hey! I'm taking it very seriously! This is fascinating!" Ellen is as enthusiastic as ever.
<Anthy> Ellicia shrugs, giggling to herself still.
<RickDominated> "I'm being extremely serious. So get to it."
<Sciencegar> "Alright. Final link and targetting sequence complete."
<Sandwitches> "Alright everyone, this will be interesting."
<Sciencegar> "Tachyonic and Tardyonic Interception points calculated. Boson waveforms quantised. Drive levels holding stable, capacitors charged."
<Sciencegar> "JUMP!"
<RickDominated> May strangles out a gasp, reaching for Illya...
<Sciencegar> And with a black twinkling, the Ark Liebe dissappears.
<Sciencegar> (Discontinuity}
<Sciencegar> The sickening feeling of travelling impossibly fast while remaining completely still.
<Sciencegar> {discontinuity}
<Sciencegar> SNAP
<Sciencegar> And the Ark Liebe reappears, its monitors filled.
<Sciencegar> On one side, they are filled by the red dusty surface of a planet.
<Sciencegar> On the other....by silvery metal, of something dwarfing the ship.
<Sandwitches> "...  What is that?"
<Anthy> "...Oooh?" Ellicia's already staring out at the big silvery thing, curious as she's almost pushing her face against the monitor like its a window.
<Sciencegar> "!!" The pilot of the Gundam seems stunned.
<RickDominated> "...nothing good I'm betting."
<Xanya> "... It's big."
<Sciencegar> Arks voice cuts in. [Wait, where are we? This isn't an orbit, we're way too close and moving too fast.]
<Sciencegar> [And....Wh-whats this Pressure?]
<Xanya> "Prepare for impact?"
<Sciencegar> [Uh....Maybe? Mr Haptism, you said we'd appear in orbit!]
<Sciencegar> "Ah....Who was....It wasn't supposed to react like this!"
<RickDominated> "...are we about to trifle with the moons of Barsoom?"
<Sciencegar> The ship begins to quiver, and the artificial gravity seems to be shifting underfoot.
<Xanya> Ellen frowns "You alright there, Liebe, dear?"
<Sandwitches> "..."  Illya grits her teeth and extends her awareness, "Haptism, get inside and brace yourself."
<Anthy> "...Uuuh..isn't this the point where the captain or something asks for a status report and immediately leads to battle stations or something?" Elli turns away from the monitor she was staring at.
<Xanya> "Not when I'm not sure if we're going to battle I'm not!" Ellen objects
<Anthy> "...Status report then?"
<Xanya> "I did ask for that, excuse me" She pouts
<sharon_apple> "I'm working on securing everything in the mech bay and checking all of the mobile suit clamps. There's not much I can do about that huge Hakkeshu, but it's so massive that it's unlikely to move much even in the case of a serious impact."
<Sciencegar> [Uh, y-yes, we're kinda really close to the Martian atmosphere, and the other ship has deployed an antigrav field to gain hieght, which is pushing us back down.]
<Sciencegar> [I-I think we have to make re-entry, there's no other way.]
<Anthy> ...The mage looks tempted to offer an idea but keeps her mouth shut on the idea that it's likely violent and damaging to the other ship.
<Xanya> "Right. You can take it, though, can't you? Everyone else, hang on!"
<Sciencegar> [I-I'm redirecting power to reentry shields, and calculating a safe course to the surface! Hold on everyone!]

<Xanya> "That's my girl." Ellen unobtrusively hangs onto her chair with green tendrils "Well, I suppose this is one way to make a dramatic entrance."
<Sandwitches> Illya Reaches out to Liebe's conciousness...
<Sandwitches> She closes her eyes, attempting to synchronize her thoughts with the girls...
<Sciencegar> [Mrs Illya....]
<Sciencegar> The quivering of the ship seems to ease, as the fields in front of it stabilise in a hexagonal formation, deflecting the first wisps of reentry wake.

<Sciencegar> [Course stable....Compensating for the giant ships field, we should have a flightpath.....]
<Sciencegar> [Uh....Um....]
<Sciencegar> [W-what's that thing off to the right?]
<RickDominated> May attemps to pull up a sensor panel for a better look at whatever it is
<Sciencegar> Its....a train.
<Sciencegar> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkf8BglYZ7s
<RickDominated> "...what."
<Sciencegar> A train is falling through the atmosphere, shielded from the heat by the Ark's enhanced fields, generating its own tracks as the pair fall in unison towards Mars.
<Anthy> "...I want one of those."
* Adventfalla-phone has quit ()
<Xanya> "... I..." Ellen *stares* "Train? Train?! What the hell?" She pulls out a device "I'm scanning the HELL out of that!"
<Xanya> "... and someone ask it what the hell it's doing here"
<sharon_apple> "Forward me any interesting data you get. I need something to take my mind off the current state of the cargo bay..."
<Xanya> "... What on earth does that mean?" She stares at her device, then sighs as she flicks on the coms "Hello? Train people? You might telling me what you're doing stowing away in our wake?"
<Anthy> "Ask them about their mystical train ways, and if they're accepting passengers."
<sharon_apple> "That makes... even less sense than some of the psycoframe readings I've been getting recently."
<sharon_apple> "And unfortunately I can't see time."
<Xanya> "Well. Maybe they'll have answers."
<StealthyThree> "E-Ellen?" A very familiar voice comes over the comms, and you can almost hear the smile there. "Hellooo! We're baaaaack!"
<Xanya> "Oh! Well then! I see you've found a train!" She's only taken about for about... three seconds. "Man, what are the odds?"
<RickDominated> "...A Train!?"
<Sandwitches> "Is that... Wendy?!"  Illya tries to focus on Liebe, but can't help but respond to her daughters voice!
<Anthy> "...A transdimensional train even?"
<StealthyThree> "U-um, y-yep! Hi Moms! We, uh, we got some help while we were away! I don't quite understand the train..."
<RickDominated> "...so you all made it back and stuff? Good...now just to help us get down...Liebe...protect that train..."
<Sciencegar> [A-alright! I should be able to maintain the integrity of the field with Ms Illyas help.]
<sharon_apple> "...um, could someone explain precisely what is going on?"
<Sandwitches> "I'm not quite sure where the train came from, but...  May and I's daughters are on it."

<sharon_apple> "That seems like an unreasonably convenient coincidence... unless something like magic or a newtype phenomenon interfered with the jump. Objecting seems against the spirit of the moment, though..."

<Sciencegar> Hallelujah grunts. "GN Particles? Or something to do with the targetting device?"
<RickDominated> "Look coicidences are just fate...right...?"
<Anthy> "Could be a Miracle even, or some act of magic or some transdimensional tomfoolery, either way it's great." Elli crosses her arms, nodding to herself.
<Xanya> "Don't look gift horses in the mouth..."

<sharon_apple> "Can we dock with them? Do we have, I don't know, some kind of dimensional station platform or something?" Tellura seems as if her confusion is on the point of manifesting as some kind of newtype phenomenon...
<Sciencegar> A cultured voice on the train side speaks up. "Perhaps it was simply that we wished to meet again, and we made that wish come true."
* Adventfalla-phone has quit (Quit: Colloquy for iPhone - http://colloquy.mobi)
<RickDominated> "Indeed...this future is one chosen by our passengers as our final destination." A simmilarly cultured voice but this time of a man adds in.
<Xanya> "I'm sure there's probably space..." Ellen mumbles "But seriously. Trains."
<Anthy> "...You're acting like this is beyond us on the weird scale." Elli chimes in, Mister Hand wagging a shadowy finger.
<Xanya> "It is! It's a *train*"
<Anthy> "...Well it's a nice looking train, and it does look kinda space...y."
<sharon_apple> "...good point. I'll just pretend any of this makes sense to me, again. It's probably the healthiest thing to do..." She shrugs and starts calculating hangar space.
<RickDominated> A smooth, sultury voice comes on. "Just open a door for us...I'm sure we'll fit with a little coaxing..." It fades off with a rather sinister sounding chuckle.
<Anthy> "...This is just like opening a box of chocolates." Ellicia giggles to herself, walking towards the hanger out of curiosity...pondering about chocolate a bit too.
<sharon_apple> Of course, Tellura's other three bodies are already in the hangar, two of them frantically shifting cargo and equipment out of the way with forklifts and trolleys.
<Anthy> ...The mage decides to pitch in a bit of help...or at least it seems like it as the oversized shadow of a hand helps push things alongside the other Telluras.
<Sciencegar> The Cargo door opens, flooding the bay with red light from the plasma wake, and the train tracks spread into the available space, followed by the train.
<Sciencegar> It curls through the tight quarters, fitting perfectly.
<Anthy> "..." Ellicia is a little surprised, giving a small clap as she stays quiet.
<RickDominated> "Okay, they're aboard! Liebe...how are we doing?"
<sharon_apple> Tellura seems to have got a microphone from somewhere and is making an announcement over the speaker systems, looking rather frazzled. "The train now arriving at platform 1 is the dimensional express I don't even know. This train terminates here. I repeat..."

<Sciencegar> [Uh....uhm....We should be alright. Sensors are a little hard to interpret with the reentry, but we should be levelling off shortly.]
<RickDominated> "Do we have a landing point...?"
<Sciencegar> [Well, uh, I was hoping that the anti-grav would mean I wouldn't have to touch down exactly...]
<Sciencegar> [But in an emergency, I should be able...to figure something out, like you all are so good at.]
<Xanya> "That's my girl" Ellen sounds quite proud. "Now... We should probably get in contact with someone around here so we don't wind up with a bunch of mobile suits breathing down our neck once we're down, right?"
<RickDominated> "Yeah...just whatever we need to do to stay stabalized and we'll figure it out from there...!"
