Sarashito chuckles a bit and says to Hack, "I think DI may be exaggerating just a bit..."
<I'm not scared of my brother!>, she angrily denies. Indeed, in a sense she's right: As Sarashito has explained, she's not scared of her brother, but what her brother represents on a few levels.

Fred (11:05:51 PM): Sarashito laughs. "So we're gonna ignore blatant lies for convenience's sake?"
Fred (11:06:10 PM): <We can't have that back. It's not the same. Don't worry, I don't need to be happy.>
Gilthexexto (11:14:03 PM): "<now that everyone know is a lie, and if your going to go on with the things have changed arguement listen, nothing is exactly as it was even a nanosecond ago,>
<oh and just to clarify Inferno the cold blodded murder i turned was Keryis, which was acctually more difficult than it would have been to turn her brother, see the thing about Demons and blackguards is, they enjoy things that would make your balls shrink to the size of rasins, but you might listen girl he's lived over a milenea, and jsut to clarify your brother loves you,, you know that, just give him a chance, I know you waited seven years in vain for him to come, but he was in almost the exact same situation as you were, and as for me well, wait till you actually see me, then you may understand>
Gilthexexto (11:15:19 PM): "wow that was graphic"H to no one in particular
Fred (11:20:19 PM): Victoria growls. <I'm not some dick, I don't need to be turned, I just need to be left alone! Things never change!?
Gilthexexto (11:21:54 PM): <no one said you were Victoria, but is he can help someone like that see the light imagine what he can do for you, and things do change, we just havent lived long enough to really see them change>H
Gilthexexto (11:22:20 PM): "there's hope for the kid yet"A

Victoria instantly seems to soften into something. <What did you do? Hack?> She seems panicky with concern.
Sarashito whispers, "Dr. Og told me when he was working with me that he was going to not tell me that I was a good person but show it to me by showing that my good instincts overran everything else, even the pain. That was the right thing to say, Hack."

The transfer goes on. Throughout it all, Victoria is silent. There is an uncomfortable moment afterwards. Will Hack speak?

Last we were:
[18:49] Gil the Xexto: although Victoria would be severely hampered by zelen in combat....unlesss Zelen couldonly extend his anti psionic aiblities to his enemies sounds like a merit
I want victoria before i start on that
[18:49] ArekExcelsior2: Okay.
[19:00] Gil the Xexto: okay lets go
[19:01] ArekExcelsior2: Ctrl-C the last action.
[19:01] Gil the Xexto: every time we get this started i have to log off, i have 20 minutes
[19:01] Gil the Xexto: okay
[19:01] ArekExcelsior2: Damn.
[19:08] Gil the Xexto: i'm assuming when victoria said what happened she meant what changed hack
[19:09] ArekExcelsior2: Yes.
[19:11] Gil the Xexto: so hack's responces <same thing that happened to you almost, and sarashito, and a few others i've met
[19:11] Gil the Xexto: stupid cpu
[19:12] ArekExcelsior2: <What's wrong with you?! Some of those were innocent people!>
[19:18] Gil the Xexto: <That process changes people, twists them into a monster that they try to bend to their will, the people that captured us wanted to create a weapon, one that would only want to do what a weapon is meant to do, well, they almost succeded, then Dark Inferno found me, and taught me how retain enough of my sanity to eventually break their hold on me, and now i give you the memory that allowed me to retain my sanity> you know what that memory is fred, and Hack "slips" and sends the memory to everyone
[19:24] Gil the Xexto: wow this reaction is gonna be intresting
"holy crap he has morals"T
"suprising though it may be yes, although it hardly suprises me that the memory of her would in fact keep him sane"A
"i learned in seconds to never underestimate the human spirit, this boy is unbreakable, in virtually every way"DI
[19:25] ArekExcelsior2: I actually don't remember the memory.
[19:25] ArekExcelsior2: What was it?
[19:25] Gil the Xexto: i'm trying to release her
[19:26] ArekExcelsior2: Her?
[19:26] Gil the Xexto: yes
[19:26] ArekExcelsior2: Victoria?
[19:27] Gil the Xexto: yes
[19:27] ArekExcelsior2: Describe the memory you're sending.
[19:27] Gil the Xexto: vincent and victoria playing in the backyard
[19:28] ArekExcelsior2: Pre-kidnapping?
[19:28] Gil the Xexto: victoria's birthday party, yes pre-kidnapping, basically every memory of her in his mind
[19:30] Gil the Xexto: which were virtually all positive
[19:30] ArekExcelsior2: She says, <...Me? I kept you sane?>
[19:33] Gil the Xexto: <yes you did, you were the one thing they couldent take from me, no matter how hard they tried, my memories of you allowed me to stay me, though i left scarred, in more ways in one,>
[19:39] Gil the Xexto: hello fred
[19:39] ArekExcelsior2: Sorry, thinking of a response.
[19:39] ArekExcelsior2: She shuts off.
[19:40] Gil the Xexto: i have to log off can you post this on the thread

Fred (9:18:47 PM): The part under the ____ wasn't for you, it was for Mace. Gilthexexto (9:18:59 PM): oh Gilthexexto (9:20:26 PM): okay then "anyone able to trace the scource of her broad cast"H i get a feeling that anduris would be the most likely candidate Fred (9:21:21 PM): Someone can try. Fred (9:21:28 PM): Anduris would be, followed by Sarashito. Gilthexexto (9:21:45 PM): anduis sarashito and DI working in concert perhaps Gilthexexto (9:21:57 PM): circle psionics Fred (9:23:17 PM): Possibly, but the Mnesis Codex is going to favor her. Gilthexexto (9:25:53 PM): being thet she is...dead, that may qualify DI a bit more if it is the death aspect, he know things about death that the others couldn't possibly dream of, hmm lets see how would my necromancer ass get around the rules of an area that favors the dead Fred (9:26:05 PM): She's not dead, per se. Gilthexexto (9:26:14 PM): granted Fred (9:26:15 PM): On two levels. Gilthexexto (9:26:22 PM): continue Fred (9:28:07 PM): The other problem is that to get into a circle they'd probably have to go back. Gilthexexto (9:28:20 PM): oh damn Gilthexexto (9:29:15 PM): well then that hampers that, perhaps magical scrying, though she'd be better against it....if she knew it were coming Gilthexexto (9:29:48 PM): "where is that blasted ball" DI Gilthexexto (9:29:59 PM): as he rummages through his bag Fred (9:35:51 PM): The scrying fails. Gilthexexto (9:38:15 PM): "well had to try looks like were going the hard way"DI <HK-7 if you don't mind i'm going to send you what i remember of her personality, yourknowledge of psychology wouild make you one of the better candidates for searching, i'm wishing we had Dr. Og with us> Gilthexexto (9:38:21 PM): that was hack Fred (9:42:08 PM): Okay. Fred (9:42:18 PM): HX-7 accepts it. Gilthexexto (9:42:23 PM): okay Gilthexexto (9:42:50 PM): why do i keep thinking HK, duh knights of the old republic Fred (9:43:30 PM): Yep. Gilthexexto (9:44:20 PM): now let us search the city high and low, and please don't make me roleplay this part Fred (9:46:45 PM): Hahahaha, you have to  Fred (9:46:51 PM): Who first? Gilthexexto (9:47:04 PM): hack and sarashito Fred (9:51:02 PM): All right, they walk through the alien area. That creepy man looked at them. Fred (9:51:20 PM): At the end of this, they see a strange temple. Gilthexexto (9:51:40 PM): okay any particular symbol on this temple Fred (9:52:36 PM): There is a big swirling circle with a vibrating line in it. Gilthexexto (9:53:03 PM): well this place is intresting |

Valorian in his Sanctum Sanctorum is giving the team one minute to prepare for their deaths at his hands. Victoria has appeared behind him and is teary-eyed, awaiting her reunion with her brother. Why she's here is a mystery. Valorian's powers are another. Luckily, Hack's quick action has kept a hole for the team to summon Air Strikes through. I will note when one becomes available. [Note: I'd recommend saving.]

hack is kneeling almost spiritually with his scythe in his hands a tangible feeling of anger flows from him in his pre jihad state, and is about go rage as soon as the minute is up, kicking in the jihad
Di stands silently chanting something in the language of the dead, he is acctrually preparing to summon many blazing dead minions
Taklinn kneels as well with his greatsword before him point in the ground "Mother gaea, grant me the strength" yes spirit of earth = greek gaea, he is casting righteous might upon himself
Anduris empties his mind concentrating only upon the battle

We continued the fight in IM. To save us time:
The Wind of Uru had begun to blow. It had indicated the weaknesses, then began to try to force the portraits together. The portraits were successfully avoiding each other but damage was being done, and the team's Aura losses were pushed down to 2 and 4%. Meanwhile, her arm was lifted straight into the air. It transforms into a metallic shape, a long chain extending and a wreckingball being conjured. As the ball spins around over and over at incredible speeds, it buffets the Wind of Uru into specific portraits (it seems the ball contains small portals to blast a powerful wind gust) AND smashes them together. The ball occasionally turns green and intangible, akin to Vampressa's bio-ghost, to absorb energy from the light, and it amasses the vibration within it to incredible degrees. The tornado it whips up functions as a shield for the party. A shimmering dark form appears, carrying abyssal water with it... the horrible beast Uktena, smiling evilly. It creates a Shared Fate Spirit Lodge that allows the group to share energy and HP as well as bolstering defenses. Bees fly from Pranax, emitting a healing radiation carried by the Wind that restores everyone 10% HP (amazingly, though it appears this won't last). A mountain-sized Komodo Dragon appears and creates a Jutsu that coats everyone's weapon with disease-carrying saliva. A strange bony plated creature works in conjunction with a Roc to attack the portraits, the tentacles of the bony Lorica Wraith sussing the portaits into the way of the Roc. Unfortunately, the portraits and art pieces evade the manuever. The Komodo Dragon joins in, attempting to use a Water Dragon and electrical effects to create a full-blown storm, the Lorica Wraith using electrokinesis and telekinesis to allow the Roc to succeed. The portraits finally get smashed together. Now only three are left. The Red Shadow Ninja heals Hack another 4%. The Tzemke hold the Lodge stable. Shadowfax the Mighty holds off to move Felhame where she needs.
Quion and Sarashito stay their turn to be able to Cooperation Technique with Hack.
Valorian's Aura strikes twice! Valorian himself attempts a killing blow on Hack with his blade. Laura Covers and takes 50% HP and no affinity damage, while casting a spell that is identified as a Seal: Medicine ability. Laura growls and turns into a spinning whirlwind, adding 20% damage but striking Valorian's aura and throwing the last three portraits into place! Valorian now stands. Initially, s/he appears as an androgynous humanoid covered in hundreds of disparate armors, all unified by a white color scheme with occasional flourishes of color including black. Hack gets an attack of opportunity.

"Ah, no prob. Don't worry, I won't hold it against ya, you're just doin' your job. Though I'm not saying I'm going to let ya hit me." Mace grins and heads to the suite.
------------
With Mace gone, Brent will go to Sensory Mage and start looking around the Codex for anything of interest. Laura, in her secondary shell, will cruise around, looking for monsters to fight to make the time go by faster.
