TSW 28:

[18:26]	Arina	pulls John aside after the talk with the others. "I didn't realize you were having those dreams too... though I suppose I should have considered it."
[18:27]	JohnH	"Yeah. They've been happening for a while."
[18:28]	JohnH	"I kind of assumed it was due to that machine that draws the aliens here."
[18:31]	Arina	"Mm, to be honest I just thought they were, well, dreams, and then Mary showed up and there was no time to explain so we pulled Kasra out of his coma which he was, um, possibly being held in due to being in Hell?"
[18:31]	Arina	sweatdrops. "... I still thought it was just a dream until I woke up with scratches, Sally woke up, and Kasra knew what we'd been talking about."
[18:33]	JohnH	"It kept telling me that it was going to come for you. I woke up before anything could happen, but I'm worried."
[18:35]	Arina	frowns. "... It? Gold light thing?"
[18:37]	JohnH	"She - If I can call it that - was a red woman made of blood, or something similar."
[18:37]	JohnH	"I don't remember any gold"
[18:39]	Arina	blinkblinks, swallowing dryly. "... Huh."
[18:40]	JohnH	"huh what"
[18:42]	Arina	"Well... I didn't see anything of the sort in any dreams so apparently there's 0x1danother0x1d super-being after us?"
[18:42]	JohnH	"If it's a super being, couldn't it just change its appearance?"
[18:43]	Arina	"That is possible, especially in maybe-dreams, though it seems at least a little unfair."
[18:49]	Arina	"You're... all right, right? You woke up, at least, but..."
[18:52]	JohnH	"I've got a couple scratches myself" John lifts his shirt up to show the scratches
[18:57]	Arina	winces, tracing one of them with her finger. "They haven't faded yet? They were a lot worse on the other side, weren't they... what happened?"
[19:00]	JohnH	"I'm not really sure. It was some kind of combat mission. People were dying. I was in a helicopter, it crashed, this lady shows up and tells me to run but I didn't. Then I woke up."
[19:01]	Arina	blinks. "There were other people there? Huh... it was empty for us except for Lily, the gold thing, and the skitterhounds."
[19:09]	JohnH	"The what?"
[19:10]	Arina	makes a face. "Honestly I have no idea what those things are. Some kind of freaky eyeless bug-wolf monster."
[19:14]	Arina	"Mary calls them Hounds of Tindalos, I've just been calling them skitterhounds."
[19:15]	JohnH	"I haven't seen any dogs." John pauses "yet."
[19:18]	Arina	"Well, that's good. They seem to be servants of the gold thing which I'm 0x1dfairly0x1d sure isn't particularly friendly to anyone."
[19:25]	JohnH	"Well I won't let ...it...or them or whatever. I won't let them hurt you."
[19:30]	Arina	smiles faintly. "I appreciate that." She sighs, hand folding around something in her pocket. "I'd really rather if no one else died to this ludicrous war."
[19:37]	JohnH	looks at her pocket
[19:39]	Arina	follows his gaze, and pulls her hand out, showing a silver-and-blue eight-pointed star medal. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/da/Order_For_Service_to_the_Homeland_3.jpg
[19:39]	Arina	"My father's. Posthumous."
[19:40]	JohnH	"What is it for?"
[19:44]	Arina	sighs, slipping it back in her pocket. "Exemplary service in the armed forces. For the longest time I was told he died fighting Stalinist extremists after the civil war, preventing them from detonating a nuclear weapon on civilians."
[19:44]	Arina	"It was actually Chernobog's first appearance. The first Intruder."
[19:45]	JohnH	"...oh."
[19:45]	JohnH	"My dad has done some pretty intense stuff, too. Can't talk about it, though."
[19:48]	JohnH	"I'm sorry that he isn't here to see you doing whats right."
[19:49]	Arina	nods. "So... well, I never really knew him, but... just the same, I don't want anyone else sacrificed to this."
[19:55]	JohnH	"I would like the same."
[19:57]	Arina	"... Be nice if it were that easy."
[20:03]	JohnH	grabs arina's hand
[20:06]	Arina	squeezes John's hand. "... Still. We can try to get close."
[20:11]	JohnH	"Do we know if there are more than one of them?
[20:11]	JohnH	"
[20:12]	Arina	"More than one of... um, who? Sorry, we covered a lot of topics..."
[20:13]	JohnH	"The creature. Chernobyl or whatever you called him."
[20:23]	Arina	"Ah. Chernobog... well, it was the first Intruder, appeared ten years ago, so there are certainly more Intruders since... And the Outriders are sort of clones of it too. That was what 01/A turned into."
[20:25]	JohnH	"I got that so far. But are there more? The dream creatures, at least?"
[20:30]	Arina	"The... dream things... I don't know. The gold thing 0x1dseems0x1d to be something that's... influencing the Intruders? At least if the fact that half the Intruders have stopped glowing green and started glowing gold is actually meaningful. I have no idea what the skitterhounds are."
[20:36]	JohnH	"Well whatever it, we'll stop it."
[20:37]	JohnH	"and if there's more than one, we'll stop all of them."
[20:40]	Arina	chuckles. "We're certainly not going to run short of work to do..."

[20:59]	Arina	"... not going to be easy, though."
[20:59]	JohnH	"It never is."
[20:59]	JohnH	"That reminds me of the other reason I wanted to talk alone." John lowers his voice
[20:59]	Arina	"Ah...?"
[20:59]	JohnH	"I really don't trust Mary."
[21:00]	Arina	cocks her head. "... You don't? I don't always agree with her judgement but..."
[21:01]	JohnH	"She never mentioned anything about any of this. To anyone."
[21:01]	JohnH	points towards Kasra's room "And that."
[21:04]	Arina	"The dreams? John, neither did I. I mean, I was annoyed that she let me go thinking it was just a dream, but we all assumed we were the only ones having them."
[21:05]	JohnH	"And what about her Eva? The fact that she never mentioned feeling out of place in it?"
[21:05]	JohnH	After a brief pause "I mean, i get it. It is weird. But why not say something?"
[21:11]	Arina	"We only really have our own Evas to compare to. I mean... she was hooking her brain up to a twenty-story-tall alien cyborg death machine that was still rotting. 'Out of place' was... kind of to be expected, and she didn't have anything else to say anyone else was feeling differently."
[21:11]	Arina	"And beyond that, she trusted SciDiv when they told her not to worry about things."
[21:12]	JohnH	"I don't trust them, either."
[21:14]	Arina	"Well yes, it wasn't the /wisest/ decision for her to trust them, but it took time for us to realize that."
[21:16]	JohnH	With his voice still lowered "Remember how I mentioned someone is a traitor?"
[21:18]	Arina	frowns. "The discussion with Artyom about SEELE's reactivation?"
[21:18]	JohnH	"What if it's Mary?"
[21:19]	JohnH	"It's a really good cover, child and all."
[21:24]	Arina	purses her lips. "I don't... think so. She's trying to figure things out like we are."
[21:24]	JohnH	"But what if"
[21:30]	Arina	"Well, then we're in a great deal of trouble, because she's the closest we have to someone who understands any of this technobabble that isn't the definitely-untrustworthy SciDiv."
[21:37]	JohnH	"Well you and I can do this. Nothing that you, me, and two thousand foot tall robots can't do."

[21:57]	IcePickLobotomy	The door opens. "Alright, everybody, front and center!" Walker calls as she steps inside, followed by Sally, who is carrying a duffle-bag behind her.
[21:57]	JohnH	instinctively snaps to
[21:58]	RobinE	quietly shuffles into the room.
[21:58]	Arina	steps up, waving to Sally. "Hello."
[22:00]	Mary	is standing in the back, while megs is running past her towards the door.
[22:01]	IcePickLobotomy	"So, this is Sally Jonson, she's going to be moving into the spare bedroom in the back. She's one of our first pilots, but was injured and in a coma until a few weeks ago, she's undergoing training and therapy with the intent of joining the unit once she's up to 100% again."
[22:01]	IcePickLobotomy	"Hello everyone," Sally says hesitantly, a tenative smile gracing her face "I hope this isn't too much trouble."
[22:01]	Arina	"It's nice to see you up and about, Sally."
[22:03]	Mary	"Hello Sally " She say with a welcomming smile
[22:03]	JohnH	"Welcome to the crew."
[22:04]	Mary	The USS Megs meanwhile is on her collision course with sallys legs
[22:05]	Arina	"Watch your step."
[22:07]	JohnH	"Don't worry, we're going to eat her soon, then she won't be an issue."
[22:07]	IcePickLobotomy	"Eh?" She looks down just in time. The toddler colides with her legs, Sally stumbles back, and into her duffle bag, promply toppling over onto her back with a audible "Thunk!" as she hits the ground.
[22:07]	IcePickLobotomy	". . Ow. . " "Ooowwie" Sally and Meagan both say to themselves, though Megan follows the statement up with tears.
[22:08]	RobinE	goes over to help Sally up.
[22:08]	Arina	moves up to help Sally up, trusting in Mary to handle babby.
[22:09]	Mary	goes forewards and picks up megs "heyy hey its all right, it was just a little bumb
[22:09]	IcePickLobotomy	"Thanks," Sally says, her grip feeling weak. Her wrist and arm stick-like, with the barest hints of muscle.
[22:10]	Arina	"That was Megan, Mary's... sister," there's a very dry tone to her voice as she looks at Mary for some reason.
[22:12]	IcePickLobotomy	"Oh, Walker told me about her, I just got distracted." She promptly claims a seat on the couch.
[22:12]	Arina	chuckles. "She can be pretty sneaky."
[22:15]	Mary	blushes and seems to fiddle very intense with megs forehead
[22:16]	IcePickLobotomy	"She's. . . " Sally tilts her head " . . . I dunno, cute?"
[22:16]	RobinE	"something like that."
[22:17]	Arina	"Much cuter when Mary's there to take care of her."
[22:20]	IcePickLobotomy	"Yeah," The toddler strugles in Mary's grip, wanting to head for the New Person!
[22:22]	Mary	smiles at her and carries her closer so that she barely misses her with her gripping "don't worry she is not a biter"
[22:22]	IcePickLobotomy	Sally slowly leans away from teh toddler, who in turn reaches out for Sally
[22:22]	IcePickLobotomy	"Is uh, it safe?" She asks
[22:23]	Arina	"Mary'll pull her away if it isn't."
[22:23]	IcePickLobotomy	"Uh-huh," She warily extends her hand, only for Meagan to grab on the fingers and squeeze "Huh, stronger grip than I thought. Ok, you can let go now."
[22:23]	IcePickLobotomy	". . . No really, please let go?"
[22:24]	IcePickLobotomy	She turns to Mary, eyes pleading "How do I make it stop?" She begs
[22:25]	Arina	"Ah. Hah. Hah," Arina chuckles hollowly.
[22:25]	Mary	"Shhss, megs, open your hands "
[22:26]	Mary	looks at her and then ticckles her to let her open her hand
[22:26]	IcePickLobotomy	The toddler turns to Mary, faces Sally.
[22:26]	IcePickLobotomy	She then uses her other hand to enforce her grip further.
[22:26]	IcePickLobotomy	In spite of the giggles
[22:26]	Mary	"Bad megan"
[22:27]	Mary	tries to stop her as she engages in baby wrangling
[22:27]	IcePickLobotomy	Meagan protests, but gives way. Sally leans further back from the toddler.
[22:28]	IcePickLobotomy	". . . Cute but mean." She says, more to herself than you.
[22:30]	Arina	"Good description."
[22:30]	Mary	"She is not really mean she is just..headstrong" she says defensive as she sits down with her a bit out of reach of meagan and sally
[22:31]	Arina	"I blame Artyom personally."
[22:32]	IcePickLobotomy	The toddler toddles off after her newest item of interest, Walker's glasses, said woman enjoying a rousing game of "keep-away"
[22:32]	IcePickLobotomy	"Oh? What'd he do?" Sally asks
[22:34]	Arina	"Told me the secret to getting her to eat and behave a little."
[22:34]	Arina	"/Two/ /weeks/ /later/."
[22:36]	IcePickLobotomy	"Oh," Sally giggles
[22:36]	IcePickLobotomy	"You never asked!" Artyom calls from the kitchen
[22:36]	JohnH	pats arina on the back
[22:37]	Arina	"I would have if I'd known there was something /to/ ask..."
[22:42]	RobinE	"Welp, welcome to the crazy house," Robin says as she turns to go back to her room.
[22:42]	IcePickLobotomy	Well, seems lively here at least."
[22:43]	Arina	"It can certainly be that..."
[22:44]	Mary	"We are not as strange as we look right now....we are worse"
[22:57]	Mary	"and welcome among us "
[22:58]	IcePickLobotomy	"Ah," She smiles "Thank you, I'm glad I'm welcome."
[22:59]	JohnH	smiles at her and goes back to sit down
[22:59]	Arina	"Good to hear it."
[23:04]	IcePickLobotomy	"So. . Arina, Mary, John? Robin said you guys would be good people to go out to lunch with?"
[23:04]	Arina	nods. "That sounds good, you haven't been out in town for a fair while, right?"
[23:06]	Mary	"i maybe?"
[23:06]	IcePickLobotomy	"I've never actually been here, I was in the Nevada proving grounds when I had my accident."
[23:06]	Arina	"Ah... well, welcome to Gibraltar, then."

[18:14]	IcePickLobotomy	Time: August 29th, 5:22pm Location: Pilot Housing.
[18:14]	IcePickLobotomy	RobinE: there's a knock at your door. "Robin? It's Walker, you mind if we talk?"
[18:15]	RobinE	gets up and goes to the door opening it, "What?" her voice sounds tired.
[18:16]	IcePickLobotomy	The woman looks tired as well, her jacket half-hanging off her shoulders, "I wanted to check in on you, talk about what happened."
[18:17]	RobinE	"There isn't much to talk about. We both know what happened."
[18:18]	IcePickLobotomy	"THat's, true but not what I was getting at. Have you talked to someone about it? How you feel I mean."
[18:20]	RobinE	"I did."
[18:21]	IcePickLobotomy	She nods, "That's good then, there are a few other things that I do need to talk to you about though," She holds up a sheef of papers "Work related I am afraid."
[18:21]	RobinE	sighs and walks to her desk, leaving the door open, "alright."
[18:22]	IcePickLobotomy	Walker closes the door behind her. "How familiar are you with the original OUTRIDER proposal?"
[18:24]	RobinE	"Not very."
[18:27]	IcePickLobotomy	"The three main points for the inital proposal was that the Units were to be capable of independent operations, no umbilical, capable of sustained flight, and were to be unmanned. Alongside a large number of more technical differences." She takes a seat at the edge of your bed.
[18:28]	RobinE	"alright."
[18:34]	RobinE	"What does that have to do with me?"
[18:37]	IcePickLobotomy	"Our main issue was the lack of a dense enough power source to power a Unit, we have jump jets set up, A-type equipment, and it would be in theory, easy to build them into a unit. But the EF are proving us with some interesting solutions to that problem, ones that are going to be incorporated into Unit-6 as a test. The leaves us with the unmanned part. The main junction there is that any...
[18:37]	IcePickLobotomy	...sort of remote or computer control woul prevent the use of the AT Field."
[18:41]	RobinE	"you want me to test something?"
[18:42]	IcePickLobotomy	She nods.
[18:42]	RobinE	"How much is scidev involved?"
[18:42]	IcePickLobotomy	"SciDiv wants to install some new hardare into your plug to gather data on your AT use and brain activity, the hopes being they can emulate them in wetware biocomps to create a AT Field in a umanned unit."
[18:43]	IcePickLobotomy	"They say that on your end it'll be a somewhat bulkier helmet. They alos suggested a cybernetic implant, but I vetoed that one."
[18:44]	RobinE	"I don't think I want scidiv poking anywhere near my eva."
[18:46]	IcePickLobotomy	"All they're installing is a micro-MRI reader and a few other things, it's not actually going to interface wtih your unit outside of the black box, it's just there to take recordings of you brain activity. I promise, Kirmani looked over the proposal for me."
[18:47]	RobinE	shuffles a bit, "I. Don't. Trust. Them."
[18:49]	IcePickLobotomy	"I don't either, but this is important Robin, I wouldn't be asking you about this if I didn't think SciDiv had the right idea here. If this works there won't be a need for any more pilots, the units will be ran off bio-computers."
[18:51]	RobinE	"Like that /thing/ with Mary's Unit?"
[18:51]	IcePickLobotomy	'No, not at all. The sensors won't have any sort of connection to the actual control mechanisms of your unit, they'll just add another set of data to be recorded."
[18:52]	RobinE	"Not the sensors, the bio-computers."
[18:53]	IcePickLobotomy	"No, those aren't compatiable with your units, it'd need a complete rebuild, they plan to build any new units, if this works, with them, and phase the old units out one by one."
[18:54]	RobinE	goes silent. Her eyes shift to the floor in thought.
[18:56]	RobinE	"Fine," she says in a quiet, frustrated tone.
[18:57]	IcePickLobotomy	"Here," She hands oyu the paperwork, "You'll need to sign these and get them back to me." She smiles "And thank you Robin."
[18:58]	RobinE	"Scidiv better not mess with us again," she snatches the papers from Walkers hands.
[18:59]	IcePickLobotomy	"DOn't worry, if they try I'll be the first to put them against a wall."
[18:59]	IcePickLobotomy	She pats her side-arm reassuringly.
[18:59]	RobinE	"No you won't. I promise."
[18:59]	RobinE	flexes her fist
[19:00]	IcePickLobotomy	She nods, "If you need anything you know where to find me."
[19:01]	RobinE	"Right," Robin sets the papers on her desk and stares at them.
[19:43]	IcePickLobotomy	-----------
[19:43]	IcePickLobotomy	Time: August 30th, 9:52pm Location: Layer 7, briefing room.
[19:44]	IcePickLobotomy	RobinE: Walker asked you to come down with her, said that Sally Jonson, the pilot who was formerly in a coma, wanted to meet with someone in the lance, and as the senior-most pilot that duty falls upon you.
[19:47]	IcePickLobotomy	She's waiting for you inside the normal briefing room, wearing a set of navy blue fatigues and a matching shirt, a METI beret sitting on her head. She's pale with sandy blond hair, under the current lighting she looks sickly, eyes sunken and cheeks gaunt, her arm and wrist looking thin. She does however smile and snap off a salute as she stands up to greet you.
[19:48]	RobinE	waves as she comes in. She finds her own seat.
[19:48]	IcePickLobotomy	"Thanks for seeing me."
[19:49]	RobinE	"yup."
[19:50]	IcePickLobotomy	"So, I've read over the debriefings since you guys started, there anything you think I should know or keep a particular eye on?"
[19:50]	RobinE	"for what?"
[19:51]	IcePickLobotomy	"Just, in general? About the units, or the Intruders or anything that might not be in the officially written down."
[19:54]	RobinE	"Keep an eye on Scidiv. We don't trust them."
[19:55]	RobinE	"If you have really weird dreams, tell Arina, she'll want to know."
[19:55]	IcePickLobotomy	She nods
[19:57]	RobinE	"Always be cautious of others, you never know when allies will change sides or disappear," there is some salt in those words, "Take care of yourself."
[19:58]	IcePickLobotomy	She blinks, somewhat alarmed "Are things really that bad?"
[20:00]	RobinE	"We already lost one," her gaze shifts to the floor, "and it was another unit that did it."
[20:03]	IcePickLobotomy	"I heard about that." She makes a cross over her chest "I met Kasra a couple times, I'm sad I won't get the chance to really get to know hoim though."
[20:04]	RobinE	"How much do you know about me?"
[20:06]	IcePickLobotomy	"Not a whole lot, AT expert, you've been with METI a little less than I have, though not in a coma of course."
[20:06]	RobinE	"They tell you about Lana?"
[20:06]	IcePickLobotomy	She shakes her head
[20:09]	RobinE	"hmhmmh," she laughs to herself, "I'm not the only me you'll get to know."
[20:10]	IcePickLobotomy	"Uh. . . Well . . . I don't really know what to mak eof that."
[20:10]	RobinE	"Don't worry, it will make more sense when you meet her."
[20:12]	RobinE	"Anyway, intruders. Never go into a fight thinking you know how it will go. They are all so different."
[20:13]	IcePickLobotomy	"I assume that the videos don't do it justice?"
[20:15]	RobinE	"No. Its not just a war of weapons, your mind will be tested too."
[20:18]	IcePickLobotomy	"I know, I know that much."
[20:18]	RobinE	"Right... then is there anything you want to ask?"
[20:19]	IcePickLobotomy	"uh. . . yeah actually, you mind if we go out to lunch later? I uh, haven;t had tha chance to see the city much."
[20:19]	IcePickLobotomy	"And they won't let me go by myself."
[20:24]	RobinE	"I don't know if you really want to go with me," she suggests, "You might have more fun with Mary, Arina, or John."
[20:25]	IcePickLobotomy	"Oh," She blinks, "I uh, I can ask them then."
[20:31]	RobinE	sighs, "If you really want to," she pauses, "I guess we can."
[20:31]	IcePickLobotomy	She beams "Thank you."
[20:32]	RobinE	"yeah."
[20:35]	RobinE	"Anything else you want to ask about, having to do with this," she gestures to anything/everything in the METI briefing room.
[20:38]	IcePickLobotomy	She shakes her head "No, I think that's enough for now."
[20:39]	RobinE	"right," she stands up and pushes her seat in.
[20:41]	IcePickLobotomy	Sally stands up as well, hurriedly. Her chair bounces along the ground a bit, making a loud clatter before it topples over ". . . oops?"
[20:42]	RobinE	"It's not my chair, I'm not worried about it."
[20:43]	IcePickLobotomy	"Yeah. . ." She sheepishly picks the chair up and slides it into place "guess I'm a tad twitch still. . ."
[20:43]	RobinE	"Nervous about something?"
[20:46]	IcePickLobotomy	"Yes? No? This is the first time I've talked to a peer in well years. I'm not doing anything wrong am I?"
[20:47]	RobinE	"No."
[20:50]	RobinE	walks to the door, "Tell Walker when you want to go to lunch, she'll set it up."
[20:50]	IcePickLobotomy	"Ok good. . . Uh. . yeah I will."
[20:51]	RobinE	opens the door and walks out.
