Megaman - Saturday, July 01, 2000, 12:15 AM -------------------------------------------

(Ch. D [Hunter-Alliance.]) Dr. Wily transmits: 'Oh... Miss Peterson! *the voice is... sickenly sweet...*'.

(Ch. D []) Twila Peterson transmits: '*sigh* Yes, Wily?'.

(Ch. D [Hunter-Alliance.]) Dr. Wily transmits: 'Would you be a dear and meet me at Light Labs. You and I have much to speak on. If Rock or Blues... or even Zero are about... I suggest you bring them along. I will be down shortly in the WilySaucer with Enker.'.

(Ch. D [Alliance]) Plant Man transmits: ' . . . . . . . . Might I also come along, sir?'.

(Ch. D [Anti-Stardroid]) Crash Man transmits: 'Hahahaha... Pops got a plan fer you, Twila! Hahaha.'.

(Ch. D []) Twila Peterson transmits: 'Uh...I'll try get them them rounded.'.

(Ch. D [Anti-Stardroid]) Crash Man transmits: 'Hahahahahahahahaha.'.

(Ch. D [Alliance]) Plant Man transmits: 'Shut /up/, Crash.'.

(Ch. D [Anti-Stardroid]) Crash Man transmits: 'Shove it, you plant-in-drag.'.

(Ch. D [Hunter-Alliance.]) Dr. Wily transmits: 'Silence, Both of you!'.

(Ch. D [Anti-Stardroid]) Crash Man transmits: 'Got it, Pops.'.

(Ch. B []) Twila Peterson transmits: 'Anyone not on the +Allience Channel I guess I shoudl say that...Wily wants to come over...'.

(Ch. D [Alliance]) Plant Man transmits: 'Understood, Sir.'.

(Ch. B [Dragonfire]) Jazz transmits: 'Like... uh... okay. Where shall we meet?'.

(Ch. B []) Twila Peterson transmits: 'Uh...considering the Alliance and all...What should I say?'.

(Ch. B []) Feedback transmits: 'What alliance?'.

(Ch. B []) Dr. Pavel Cossack transmits: 'The alliance between us and the robot Masters.'.

(Ch. B [Dragonfire]) Jazz transmits: 'Like, if he wants to talk, let's like, talk! He can like, bring a single guard, and if they so much as twitch in a malignant way, we blast 'em.'.

(Ch. B []) Twila Peterson transmits: 'Apparently...there's an alliance between the factions now....against the Stardroids. Rock cemented the one with the Masters last night.'.

(Ch. B []) Feedback transmits: 'And why didn't anyone tell me about this?'.

(Ch. B []) Twila Peterson transmits: 'I don't know. Rock must have not gotten back yet from last night. Anyway, Wily wants to meet on the rooftop. Could someone please come up here? I'm not meeting the old geezer alone. And he said he had to talk with me. Probably about Libra.'.

Jazz runs in, looking around carefully. "Like, okay, this is good. If he pulls something funny, we got the Ride Armors here. Swish."

(Ch. D []) Twila Peterson transmits: 'Ok...The only CoC available was found. Not Rock or the others.'.

(Ch. D [Hunter-Alliance.]) Dr. Wily transmits: 'Ahh... I am hovering outside as we speak... never underestimate the speed of my creations! HmuHAH!'.

(Ch. D [Hunter-Alliance.]) Dr. Wily transmits: 'Not at all... I perfectly understand your unwillingness to allow me within the Base...but it is of urgent matter that must be spoken of... privately...'.

<Maverick Hunter Headquarters...outside grounds...>

Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Kodiak> clunks out of Light Labs, it's rider just visible- a blonde wisp of a girl. Gases vent from the knee joints as the Kodiak powers up fully, ready for whatever may come. It takes a non-combative stance though, arms dropping, the pilot staring up at the WilySaucer.

Dr. Pavel Cossack blinks. "Vho are you taking?" he demands!

Twila Peterson herself exits out of the labs with a sigh. Nope, she doesn't enjoy this. Buuuuuuuut...she also is curious enough to want to know what brings

The Wilysaucer slowly lowers down towards the grounds of Light Labs... Wily can planely be seen in the cockpit, a glass dome surrounding him and Enker holding onto the side of the Saucer... It hovers before slowly landing... Wily's voice rises from the speakers... "Ahh... Cossack. And I am taking no one... I am simply here to speak with Twila and anyone else about... I have important news..."

The dome slowly opens as Cossack rushes inside... Wily slowly standing and a ramp forms on the front of the Saucer that allows Wily to slowly decend... walking down towards the Base.

Twila Peterson quirks a brow as she comes to a stop and peers up at the saucer. "May I ask what you wanted to see me about?" she questions while the mad scientist emerges.

Enker hangs to a pair of rings on the side of Wily's flying saucer, his weapon clipped to a belt at his side, and looking the emotionless soldier as allways. Enker hops off and walks alongside Wily... Just an added precaution against cheap Hunter tricks.

Dr. Wily chuckles softly to Twila as he looks about. "Ahh... such a lovely place as always..." Wily then looks to Twila. "As for what I wanted to see you about.. matters of /grave/ importance abound, my dear... 'Mother'" Wily deliberately uses the title, a smile spreading on his lips.

Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Kodiak> would likely twitch, if it was capable of showing emotion, sensors tracking Enker and Wily carefully. The pilot seems to be staring at the proceedings fairly wide-eyed. oO(Like, wow dude. Wily and a crony in Hunter turf. Like, I never thought I'd see it.)Oo.

The nice little introduction gives Twila a small shudder, possibly seen, possibly not. But she does her best to hide it. She forces an all too sweet smile, which lasts but a few moments, before asking, "Take it you caught the late night evening news last night. They got some great shots of Libra and Virgo."

Feedback walks out into the runway and just stands by the door. He makes a flicking motion with his hand tossing a bug towards the group before starting a sensor sweep to make sure that their 'allies' aren't trying to plant a little information leak in the base, not on his watch at least. He's staying quiet, and for those who know him, they're probably praying he stays that way. Quiet and out of sight.

Dr. Wily nods slowly, Wily reaches up to stroke his jaw slowly. "Oh... i did more then just /catch/ it Twila... do you know where little miss Libra went when she vanished? Hmmmmmm?" Wily is of course... playing games. He will never come out and tell the whole story... not when he can torment those who have tormented him so much. "I have a good deal of information... more then you Hunters dream..." Wily smiles evilly then... awaiting a response.

Twila Peterson flickers a glance towards .oO(The Kodiak)O.? as it lurches into view. She bu-blinks towards the armor and mentally shrugs. The girl then counts to ten, again doing so mentally, before looking over towards the doctor and his Elite guard. "I don't really know. But I'll hazard a guess. She came to see you?"

Enker crosses his arms and eyes Twila... "I got some nice shots of Libra as well... Tell Protoman..." Enker too has speaks now as if trying to swallow something vile... "His help was appreciated."

Feedback just eyes the conversation before toggling his radio on and then sending off a few transmissions.

Dr. Wily smiles evilly and raises up a hand, extending his finger up. "Got it in one! You were always a smart girl, Twila. Do you know /why/ she came to see me?" Wily smirks as he too notes the Ride Armor the one by the door. "This is important news indeed, little Miss 'Mother'. It affects you the most though..."

(Ch. B []) Feedback transmits: 'So, what does Wily want?'.

(Ch. B [Dragonfire]) Jazz transmits: '*verbal shrug/grunt thing* Like, hang on and we'll find out- he's got some information, I'll bet.'.

(Ch. B []) Feedback transmits: 'And we should care because?....'.

Twila Peterson unfolds her arms, as she feels a cold shiver going up her spine. She allows Jazz to be the one to answer the inquiry over the Hunter broadband before simply responding with, "My death?"

(Ch. B [Dragonfire]) Jazz transmits: 'Like, don't be so dismissive. Just because the old geezer's insane doesn't mean he's like, useless. Information is like, ammunition- and you should know, dude, being in SilverStar squad. We like, deal almost solely IN information.'.

Dr. Wily nods. "Indeed... you see... the night before I came to your rooftop to confer with you... I spoke of a visit to you then if you recall... yessss..." Wily shakes his head. "Libra came to me and made a... tempting offer... your death... in exchange for knowledge..." Wily smirks to Twila. "Can you guess my answer?"

Feedback of course can hear all of what's being said as its being transmitted to him through his bug and recorded as well. He kicks off the wall and pulls out a small laser pistol from his jacket holding it loosely in his left hand waiting to see what Wily continues with. He's just been waiting to see who Libra choose to carry out her dirty work and he's got the tapes to prove that she can't do it herself. Now, it all depends on what the doc does next to see if he's going to shoot him. Though, he doubts that Wily's going to try anything right now, given his situation.

Sheesh, Wily is certainly making it annoying. But at least in doing so he's diverting Twila's fear over towards her irritation...as well as curiosity. "Well, let's see..." she muses openly. "I'm still standing here...so I must not be dead. However, you did say you had information, so you probably promised her you would. Uh...I get that right?"

Enker shoots a glance up to the cockpit of the Kodiak, almost reaching for his Laser Pistol out of habit... "...You will not need such toys, Hunters."

Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Kodiak> clunks slightly, turning in place to face Enker. A feminine, somewhat air-headed voice booms from the loudspeaker cheerily- "Like, sorry for the paranoia dude, but your Dad there and my bosses haven't like, been the greatest of friends. So like, I'm sure you'll forgive our precaution."

The Mad Doctor cackles at that. "You are smarter then I gave you credit. But yes... I did begin the bargain with her." Wily smiles. "She fled the room before she concluded her part of the bargain... and as... I don't do Freebies." Wily grins. "I didn't kill you yesterday on the roof... as I could have done... because it was in my best interest to not anger the Hunters as we both needed this little alliance. When she gave me the information... I would give her your death. You know full well there is no love lost between us... but anyway... she failed to come though with her bargain." Wily grins. "So... you are safe, Twila. I won't be killing you."

Enker openly facepalms at the reply he gets. First that Repliforcer on roller-skates, and now this... Since when did valley girls become such valued soldiers?

Enker ignores the Ride Armor for know... With such a pilot, it's more of a threat to itself than others... "...Safe from the forces of Albert Wily at least, Twila. But it is obvious enough the Stardroids want your head..."

Twila Peterson inwardly sighs, but it's with cautious relief. Although she knows all about the scientist not wanting Earth, what he feels is his planet, destroyed and is willing enough to join forces with hated enemies to defend it, she still is a long way from actually getting anywhere near trusting. But, for the moment, there is something in the answer that beckons her trust he's telling the truth. At least for now. "Thanks..." .oO(I think...)Oo. "I suspected she would have gone to you as a possible agent. Was there anything else that happened?"

Feedback continues to listen in about ready to kick Wily out himself no matter who says otherwise. Though, he's starting to think that this is a general waste of his time and that he could actually be sleeping right now instead of listening to some old fool blabber on about his sorry and pathetic life. Feedback yawns and then decides to give Wily another minute to say something worth listening too.

Dr. Wily nods to Twila. "You are /most/ welcome, Twila. And ahh... as you noted... Libra was quite... irked... when she spoke last night on the television... what you did not see was Libra coming up to the Wily Star... to teach me a lesson about forming a force whose goal is to stop and destroy the Stardroids... as well as the little 'bargain'... but it never mentioned /anything/ about forming a group to fight the Stardroids. I was expecting this... and was in the WilyDragon awaiting her... with several of my Minions around me."

Twila Peterson tosses a glance towards the Elite and notes, "*Some* Stardroids want my head rather. Eclipse made it clear that there are some who don't. If anything I was told that any who did want to harm me at least couldn't do it directly." Of course, that doesn't go doe saying they wouldn't be free to use indirect methods. The girl glances back towards Wily. "And your experiences at least says they don't know of the alliance." At least, not yet. Hopefully it'll stay that way. "You were able to drive her out?"

Dr. Wily shakes his head slowly. "Oh... but they do know of our alliance, Twila. Libra has found out... and it wont take the others long... that is why she came to destroy my minions and torture me... it seems I am to important to Chaos." Wily smirks at that. "But anyway... I was quite able to drive her out... Luckily enough. But we found out some interesting things about her... Enlighten her Enker."

Twila Peterson switches her attention from Wily to Enker, listening intentively. "Yes?"

Enker proceeds... "...The Stardroids... Are, for the most part, not as powerful as they would like us to believe... Using Libra as an example... She is, in fact, not a peacemaker, as she claimed in front of the UN... She now claims her brother is the Will of Chaos, and that she herself is an agent of his... Her true form certainly suggested so... Furthermore, her endurance is only about one and a half times Megaman's, and she is particular sensitive to heavy, blunt objects as a means of attack... That is all you need to know for now..."

Feedback hmms and wakes up a bit. Hey, free information is not something that he's going to pass up, besides with Jazz here, he's going to have a tougher time kicking them out.

Twila Peterson blinks slowly, reshifting her weight. "That makes sense, since we already knew they were mortal." After a pause she adds, "Brother is the 'Will of Chaos'? That would identify her, and the other Stardroids who are like her, are working for Chaos...the one who's wanting the world's destruction." Although that doesn't fully explain why. And weren't the Stardroids supposed to be against this Chaos? "But then, dissension in their own ranks. Can't very well preach balance if there's for and against in their own home."

Dr. Wily nods to Enker and chuckles. "She seems to very much... enjoy..." Wily cackles! "The feel of one of Guts Man's boulders falling on top of her." Wily smirks to Twila. "Oh... and because I failed as an agent of her's... she spoke of using... 'her own agents' to kill you." Wily grins. "So you aren't out of the cauldron yet, my dear. You... my dear... sweet Twila... have a price on your head and alot of people are going to want to collect." Wily shakes his head then... his face turning pained as if the next words will physically hurt him... "So... it is my decision... that because Libra and her Minions are more of a threat... /you/... are to be protected." Wily regards her for a long moment. "She also stated the true reason she wishes your death on my first meeting with her... if you care to come to know it... this... Knowledge... that is so dangerous to the Stardroids... and if Libra spoke true... myself and nearly everyone. I myself am a firm believe in Paradox... by telling you now... you most likely will not do the prophesied deed."

Twila Peterson shifts her focus from the massive ride armor beside her, to Enker, and then towards Wily once more. "I...have no idea what this 'Knowledge' is that she speaks of. She even admitted several times that I'm not aware of it. Although, she's certain I'm going to somehow use it." Whatever "it" is anyway. " Yet, from what Eclipse stated it sounds is if I'll know when the time comes." There's another pause. "And, as you probably already know she was commenting on this very same thing over a live global broadcast...so, I'm already aware of the danger..." or some of it anyway...especially if some were to become desperate as this "Judgment Day" draws closer.

Dr. Wily regards Twila with interest, a smile coming to his lips. "Indeed, Twila... but 'I' know this knowledge you supposedly have... and if you are willing... I would love to see just how it can be used against the Stardroid... perhaps you knowing about it will help you unlock the secret..." Wily studies Twila for a long moment... an evil grin spreading on his face. This should be interesting. "And indeed, Twila... I personally now have a stake in your... survival." Wily chuckles. "As much as I hate you... I hate the Stardroids all the more... I suggest you stay in the Hunter HQ at /all/ times under guard." Wily looks to Feedback and the Kodiak... "I would protect her... And inform Rock of this... Rock knowing him he will not leave Twila's side once he hears the news... Libra is coming for her... perhaps not personally... but she is... make sure Rock knows that she is weak to such massive force as well... I saw him employ the Super Arm in Antarctica... make sure he uses that..." Wily grins evilly. "Now... as for your... little bit of knowledge... I ask this... do you not want to know or should I simply just tell you?"

Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Kodiak> stands silently, listening intently.

Twila Peterson wonders if Wily actually would know or if he's just attempting to bait her. After all, if the old man was the one who had the "knowledge" why exactly she be the one currently under the gun and not him. Surely he would have used what he knew against the Stardroids already. But he hasn't. But still, she is curious enough to ask. "Would you tell me if I asked?"

Feedback eyes Wily one step ahead of him. He's already aware of mostly everything the guy has said, though he isn't going to tell him anything that he knows. Yup, he's never going to show Wily what he's been collecting on those Stardroids for a bout a year. Even if it's more than the old goof could ever hope to get and it would be a chance to take the guy down a notch or two.

Dr. Wily smiles to Twila with a.. sickeningly sweet air... "But of course, Twila... but of course... Besides... the knowledge will no doubt disturb you enough to pay you back for those... wonderful little heart attacks..." Wily glares then... then shakes his head with a sigh. "So... would you know or not? If you know before you do the deed... you probably will be able to avoid the consequences of the deed... if you don't know... what Libra said to me /might/ just come about.. if she is not bluffing." Feh... Feedback knows nothing of the Stardroids compared to Wily... he had Duo himself locked up in his lab and has gained more information on them then /any/ of the other factions... even Feedback.

Twila Peterson asks a simple question before giving him a yes or no. "If you know it...then why am I the one sought after and not you?"

Feedback of course just listens to the doc's ego inflate and is just able to keep himself from going out there and making that ego collapse into a black hole bursting the doc's bubble. He has video documentation of several Stardroids and their apparent power levels as well as first hand knowledge of what they can do. And from playing mind games with a few, which really hurts by the way, he's learned their general mental limits. As for actual data, he has several scans of various Stardroids. Nope, Wily might not have more than him, but Feedback alone probably could equal the doc in knowledge if nothing else. Not that he's going to tell Wily any of this or anyone else to that point without a direct order from Rock.

Dr. Wily shrugs. "I /don't/ know... I only know the consequences of what Libra says the tiny bit of knowledge locked in your head will be..." Wily chuckles softly...

"...To capture the queen is a more attainable goal then the king, my dear Miss Peterson..." interjects Enker. "...She is not the key to winning the game... But a dangerous piece if ignored..." Dr. Pavel Cossack walks out wringing his arms. Imaging that it's Vily's neck. "Everyone here playing nice?" he asks Twia. Concerned for his friend's safety. He reaches into his pocket and brings out a nice cigarette tin. "Do you still smoke Cuban's? I thought you might like some," he mutters trying his best to be civil as he listens trying to get any clue of their diabolic scheme.

Twila Peterson muses on the topic back and forth. Ultimately however, the team needs to have what information it can be properly worked with. She offers a slow nod towards the Elite at his injection and draws in a breath. As Cossack returns outdoors she doesn't verbally answer him. But her stance and posture and that of the ride armor near by should. "Alright...what is it?" she finally questions.

(Ch. B []) Feedback transmits: 'Now can we throw Wily out? He's not telling us anything we already don't know.'.

(Ch. B []) Dr. Pavel Cossack transmits: ' It's up to Twila. But I vouldn't it.'

(Ch. B []) Feedback transmits: 'And give me one good reason why not? For all we know, they could be planting a spy in the base. Trying to set up a lead in our systems and stuff.'

(Ch. B []) Dr. Pavel Cossack transmits: 'Er mind it because there's a truce.'

(Ch. B []) Feedback transmits: 'Still doesn't allow them to drop by anytime they want. And that still allows us to throw them out last time I checked. That just means that we can't shoot any of them.'

(Ch. B [Dragonfire]) Jazz transmits: 'Like, Feedback, he MIGHT tell us something we don't know, dude. This is like, a formative moment. Just let it go.'

Dr. Wily turns his gaze to Cossack with a chuckle. "But of course, Cossack... but... more pressing matters..." Wily turns his gaze back to Twila... awaiting all to become silent. "Libra spoke of a good deal on what you will do... and why she is afraid of Zero... and what will be the consequences of your actions and why she fears you so... I myself ponder the truth of it and wonder if your death would not be better for all." Wily shakes his head slowly... then looks up and speaks as if pronouncing sentence. "Someday... in the future... you will do something that will bring about the Creation and Rise..." Wily pauses dramatically... "Of Kaiser Sigma..."

Dr. Pavel Cossack blinks Kaiser....Sigma?" he shakes his head. Recalling the turblent months prior vhen three separate version of Rock appeared in our own backyard. "But Kaiser Sigma came to power because General vas killed!" he mutters trying to recall what else his keen mind remembers.

Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Kodiak> shudder momentarily, the pilot obviously having knocked the controls.

Twila Peterson remains eerily still as well as silent, before her knees grow weak and she stumbles back, catching herself on the knee of the ride armor before actually falling. "I....*what*? But...but that's impossible..." she whispers, horrified.

Feedback kicks off the wall and now walks over to stand behind Twila. He's generally just getting tired of Wily and Enker's presence here and well, to say the least he's starting to get a bit ticked off, "Okay, that's it. If you also remember Wily, with a Kaiser Sigma, you also no longer exist, as well as the majority of your precious idiot goobers that you call an army. So what makes you so sure that Twila is going to bring this around? All Stardroids play mind games to turn us against each other, if you don't know this by now, then you know absolutely nothing about Stardroids."

Enker turns to Cossack, trying to hold back from shooting a nice round hole in his head as payment for his previous and current actions... "Have you -ever- known a Stardroid to call someone by their rightful name? Kaiser Sigma, more likely then not, is a metaphor for some omnipotent overlord... Another from where the Stardroids come, perhaps."

Dr. Wily remains silent... watching... Then Wily looks to Feedback with a smirk. "Dear boy... I know. I am not saying I believe Libra... but... what if she is right?" Wily slowly looks back to Twila... for long... long moments. "Enker. Give them the Disk. We are leaving."

Dr. Pavel Cossack shakes his head. "Feedback, don't you get it? That's vhy he's doing the one thing he hates to do. Come crawling to us! His first concern is safety for their lord." he hmms. "He slides up to Enker returning to the gaze "You just sit here like a good little thug and maybe I von't boot you!"

Enker whispers to Dr. Wily: '...Everything sir?'.

Feedback just stares at Wily. His voice has a dead set tone as if he's set in his decision in what he's about to say, "Wily, your wrong about this one. There is no way I am ever going to accept the fact that what happened during that fiasco is going to happen to us. Much as I'd like to see your face in the dirt as well as Bass on the ground twitching, it's not going to happen. As the world will end with me dead in my grave before I'm going to let that happen."

Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Kodiak> stands silently, hissing gases now and then, still listening.

Dr. Pavel Cossack says, "Feedback, stand down!"

Dr. Wily sneers to Pavel... "Indeed, Pavel... My concern is for myself... I will /not/ be destroyed by the Stardroids... but I also do not want Twila killing us ALL!" Wily looks to Twila, then back to Cossack. "Snake Man bit Libra in the middle of the battle and obtained a Chemical analysis... I propose this... Cossack... You... myself... Light... Cane.. and Doppler... all work together to make what the Stardroids are composed of... and yes, Enker... the schematics of the Stardroids we have on file... They will need the tactical information as much as us."

Enker withdraws from his belt a disk about the size of a 20th century CD, but copper-gold in color, on confirmation from Wily... and hands it over to Miss Peterson... Cossack's hand are likely stained by who knows what substances he's been using and abusing.

Twila Peterson takes a few more moments to steady herself before straightening, recalling that Libra had indeed referred to the sordid future of X from what she had overheard while she was eavesdropping on Libra as well as two UN operatives just last week. "Libra did say what happened a few months ago did have deep ramifications..." she states, mostly to herself...but it can possibly be heard by the others as well. She closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. She'll wait until she gets to her room to brake down. Can't do it out here. .oO(Now I know a tiny bit of how Zero feels like...)Oo.

Feedback doesn't budge one inch from where he is. He eyes both Masters here and just well ignores Cossack, or at least it looks like he's ignoring him as there is no change. Yup, he's dead set on what he just said and says it once again, "Wily, your wrong. Twila is not going to be the end of us all."

Twila opens her eyes again a few moments later and accepts the disk carefully from the Elite Master after offering Cossack a short glance.

Dr. Wily looks to Feedback. "I pray you are right, boy... I truly do."

Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Kodiak> hisses again, moving slightly in response to Wily's words. The voice booms from the loudspeaker- "Like, right on, Dr. Wily dude. You got all your beans in the right place, far as I'm concerned."

[OOC] Dr. Wily says, "... she called Wily Sane... *ponders if that is an insult...*

Dr. Pavel Cossack blinks "Ve appreciate you coming. I vish I could say you both are velcome any time..but your not."

Twila Peterson casts looks towards her friends and eyes the disk given her. Instead of acting hostile like the rest she merely murmurs, "Thanks for the...information..."

Maverick Hunter Ride Armor <Kodiak> shakes suddenly, a happy voice again booming. "Like, Dr. Cossack, that's a bit harsh. Wily dude, Enker, we like, appreciate the trouble you've gone to. Like, things have been bad in the past, but maybe we can fend off this nastiness. So like, yeah, thanks a bucket dudes!"

Dr. Wily chuckles to Cossack. "Indeed, Cossack... indeed... Now." Wily regards Cossack for long moments. "I will speak to Doppler... and you can speak to Light and Cane... and perhaps the five of us can come up with something to Match the Stardroids in Power..." Wily smirks... "Does that sound feasible?"

Dr. Pavel Cossack sighs. "By the gods above I hope so or.." he glances around. Camera focus' on individual faces as he considers the grim future. "Or ve are all doomed." recalling the insane creature vile himself became. He sighs. "This is so inconceivable. He has a kid.

Twila Peterson manages out the words, "She...tell you anything...else?"

Feedback notices the disk and makes a quick comment before forgetting about it, "Twila, be sure to get someone to run a few checks on that before you try reading what's on it. Not to say that I don't trust our allies, but I just don't trust our allies." He then stands there waiting to see if Wily has anything else to say or if they're actually going to leave now.

Dr. Wily looks to Twila... his face bleak like one who has just given sentence. "Don't do Libra's job for her, Twila. Make sure Rock knows and will protect you..." Wily then regards Twila for long moments... "For your deed... it will cause the obliteration of the Stardroids and everything else... the future of Kaiser Sigma will come to pass and not even Rock will be able to stop it. Perhaps forewarning will prevent its occurrence. I for one will /not/ let the Stardroids manipulate us... Dr. Wily is /NO/ Chess Piece... I will rewrite what they see and send them into oblivion personally!" Wily regards Twila for a long moment... then nods to Cossack... then turns... slowly walking towards the WilySaucer... not paying attention to Feedback's words. "Come, Enker."

Enker raises an eyebrow to Feedback... .oO(...Idiot)Oo.

Jazz vaults out suddenly, and lands next to Twila, placing a feminine hand on the human's shoulder. She looks a bit worried, but she smiles anyway. "Like, Twila, dudette -- don't sweat it. If this Kaiser Sigma dude rises in power, we'll just like, bat him down again afterwards. At least we'll be rid of the Stardroids."

Enker nods to Wily and heads on over to the saucer, pausing for a moment as a thought strikes him... And then raising it to his lips as he continues on.

Enker sends a radio transmission to Twila Peterson. Enker sends you a tightbeam radio transmission: "...Where were you when the final good-byes were said to those from the alternate realities?"

Dr. Wily slowly walks up the ramp to the WilySaucer, not looking back until he slips into his seat, then his eyes lock on Twila... regarding her with... what... dread? From Wily...? Couldn't be... The look is gone quickly as the seat lowers into the depths of the Saucer and the ramp flips up... the hatch closing to seal Wily into the Saucer.

Twila Peterson blinks down at her radioed message and then looks towards Enker, wide-eyed. Ignoring the bubbly female reploid by her side for the moment she returns the communiqué after unhooking her radio. You send a tightbeam radio transmission to Enker: "I was in Robotropolis...right before Rock's 'twins' were returned."

Enker sends you a tightbeam radio transmission: "And did you speak with the alternate Protoman?"

*weeoo weeoo weeoo weeoo weeoo weeoo weeoo weeoo weeoo*

The WilySaucer slowly rises slowly as the engines start up...

You send a tightbeam radio transmission to Enker: "Not...at that time, no. Before...when he was back here at the Labs."

Enker sends you a tightbeam radio transmission: "And what was said?"

Twila Peterson idly flickers a glance towards the saucer as it begins to rise. Once more a transmission comes in and it is answered.

Dr. Pavel Cossack shakes his head as he hobbles over to the wall and shakes his head. Glancing at the others. "In quiet time ve practice vhat is called the vorst case scenario. Vell.. this is not only that scenario playing out it's story it's...VORSE!" He blinks for a moment fighting back tears and fears . "I..ve have to find a Stardroid! I have to figure out something. The information is fine but it VILL not ascertain vhat ve all need. I'm afraid nothing vill?" he his body trembles uncontrollably as he regards the others. "The project vill be scaled back. This takes top priority."

You send a tightbeam radio transmission to Enker: "Mostly about what was happening because of the time/space shifts. Can't...recall it all right now..."

Jazz turns to Cossack in confusion, looking curious as anything. "Project? What Project?"

Enker sends you a tightbeam radio transmission: "I suggest you think about it. Send me a transmission when your memory is refreshed."

Dr. Pavel Cossack rools his eye's pointing to the departing space ship. He vants this to be semi-secret. "Feedback your batting average is really LOW tonight!"

The voice of Dr. Wily rises from the speakers of the Wily Star. "If you need help, Cossack. The Robot Masters stand ready to aid. As they say... 'War tends to make strange bedfellows'. If you need assistance, communicate with me or one of my Masters and I will be present to help."

Remembering the alliance and knowing they're all fighting for this world's survival, how can Twila do little else but answer into her radio the affirmative. You send a tightbeam radio transmission to Enker: "Agreed."

Feedback smirks and looks at Cossack, "What are you talking about, Doc? I've never played that baseball sport in my life and I didn't see a ball or a bat here. So how can by batting average get any lower than a zero?"

Dr. Pavel Cossack glances up and nods curtly, wishing this was just a horrible dream. How can the fate of the world hang on so few. Not many humans. Just amazingly crafted robots.

Jazz stands in the midst of the two emotional humans, trying to keep everyone together. And, for that matter, understand vhat ze heck ze Doctor is talking about, exactly. Her synth-skin brow wrinkles slightly in consternation, her smile dipping to low-beam.

Feedback just looks around for a bit and then over at the Vorpal, "Well...anyways, if you can get the plans to Rick and Auto, they can probably get started on your little project even if you aren't there to supervise. Unless you think that they'd be better off helping with the Stardroid issue, after all we will need those upgrades eventually and for this little problem it could turn out to be rather helpful."

The WilySaucer slowly rises... Enker hanging onto the side on the secure holds provided... raising straight up and up and up... moving faster and faster until it is high above the buildings... and then with a crack of sound as the Sound Barrier is broken... ZOOMs off!

Jazz blinks at Feedback, watching his gaze, and then at the Vorpal, then at Cossack, and Feedback again, then Cossack again, then a fluttering cloud up in the sky. One-thousand two-thousand three-thousand... oO(..Processing...).. four-thousand five-thousand *BLINK*. "Oh! Right! Like, the Project!"

Twila Peterson doesn't move for the longest time after the scientist and his cohort leaves. When she does it's to place her radio back within it's niche. Upon doing so she moves towards the male reploid. "Feedback," she begins, handing him the data, "I think you would be the one who could make more sense of this than I would."

Dr. Pavel Cossack sighs. "Make COPIES first. don't use the original, oh vait before that test for virus' and then slowly vork vith it. Booby traps are common for a snake like Vily. then send a copy to Rock, Light and the other Scientists.

Feedback smiles as Twila hands the disk to him and then takes it looking it over for a bit before responding to Cossack, "You sure you want me to do that Doc? I mean, you sound a bit skeptical. Maybe you'd rather do this yourself instead of trusting me with such valuable information. Cause if you don't trust me, just say so or don't be telling me how to do my job. I've been doing this for as long as I can remember and I know standard procedures, both Repliforce and Maverick Hunter ones."

Jazz shakes her head, shrugging, and climbs back up into the Kodiak. "Like, I got some work to do guys, so I'll get going. Keep in touch!"

Dr. Pavel Cossack glowers "Don't pull this on me!" he leans forward grabbing for him. "I like you feed. You do your duties vell but right now this is vay too important to screw around!"

Feedback smiles, "Well, nice to know how you really feel about me, Doc. Don't sweat it. I'll be careful and you'll all have your copies in about 15 minutes. It'll take me about 5 minutes to check this out and then make some copies and then send it to you guys. And don't worry, I'll be working on my remote system as well so no worries about hive viruses and stuff leaking."

When Twila handed the data over she did so with trembling hands, something the reploid may have noticed. After it's accepted she draws her hand back again blurts towards the two men, "Don't start. We have enough trouble as is. I gave the disk to Feedback since gleaning info was his specialty." She then takes a step back, facial features pale and more a little trouble. "Just...please...no fighting!"

Feedback smiles and turns to Twila, "Hey, noworries Twila. We're not fighting, just a friendly little chat between the two of us..." He takes a second look at Twila, "And maybe you should go get some rest. Guess that you just got hit with a doozey of information just now. You should get take some time to sort it out and everything."

Dr. Pavel Cossack nods. "I know I am." Twila Peterson weakly nods towards the reploid and nods slowly. "Yeah. I...better..." she gets out while making her through a side enterance of the labs. "I'll...see you all latter...sometime..." And with that she's gone.

Message: 10/41 Posted Author Wily Makes a House Call Sat Jul 01 Feedback ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ *Feedback's face appears on the screen smiling as usual. He looks pretty happy with himself since he's smiling. Then again he's always smiling when he gives reports*

Hey everyone, hows it going? Me? well, I'm doing alright. We just had Wily drop by and pay us a visit...Whats this? That's actually interesting. You mean you want me to tell you about it? Well, okay. Started with Wily dropping by in that saucer of his with his stooge Enker. We talked, he was his usual annoying blabbering insane self. Egotistical and dilluted in his own little world of his. Well, anyways, he dropped off some information, mostly at first it was all stuff we already know, then he had Enker give us some kind of a data disk. I went on and analyzed it and it turns out ot have technical schematics of most of the stardroids we know of. Not too shabby, but could be a lot better. I've got it checked for bugs, viruses, and any other trap programs he might of put in, but nadda showed up on my scans. Another wierd thing, Wily had a proposal for us. For some reason or another he wants to actually work WITH us. He proposed a joint operation between himself, Doppler, Dr. Light, Dr. Cossack, and Dr. Cain. To analyze what he dropped off and try to come up with some kind of strategy to deal with these stardroids. Now if anyone wants my opinion, I say this is all a bunch of crap that he's giving out just so he can go and save his own hide. He hinted at Kaiser Sigma for a bit saying that Libra was talking about her and everything. Turns out, Libra also tried to contract Wily to kill Twila for him. But so far, he's refused as he has yet to get his payment. It is my suggestion that any further visits by him or any of his lackys during the duration of this treaty are to have an escort to make sure they don't cause trouble and or try to hurt anyone. And for those who would prefer my professional opinion of the situation. It is my professional opinion that Wily knows something that we don't. He is scared, so scared that he is willing to sink so low as to try to ask us and the Mavericks for help to destroy these Stardroids. He is a desperate man who is doing everything he can to keep himself from being destroyed somehow. We all remember that alt-u incident and are all aware that Wily dies in that timeline. As such, I believe that a Stardroid has hinted that to Wily, Libra most likely to perhaps get him to take out Twila. I know not if this is actually going to happen, but my unbiased opinion is that we will need Wily's help on this. His data that was given to us seems to be a gesture of good faith on his part. And as much as it pains me to say this, he is actually telling the truth on this one and wants to work with us, even if it is just to save his own hide. As for the data, I've created several copies of the disks and have sent it to all members of the CoC and scientists. If you would like a copy, gimme a ring and then I'll see what I can do. I've also included my own data along with Wily's so that should help a bit. And thats about everything that happened. As usual, I'm availiable if you wanna talk about what happened or anything. And looking at the time, its time for this reploid to go and get himself some sleep. Night all, this is Feedback signing off.
