Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Wern't you listening?" The Chief quipped, glancing over at her.
"Hell of a gun to put to someone's head. I never met the guy, anyone here know 'bout him? He the type to kill himself if it takes the rest of us with him?"

"What was it you said, Ra? Not like a game? We got a mad villain with the cities' nuke cods, we got an evil scary dude who's only helping us to further his bonds and free himself, and here we are, the heroes, going to the final showdown to keep everyone from dying." The Chief sighed, checking the sight on his rifle absently.
"We're hosed."

Minerva ignored the cheif, although contemplated shooting him. "And what tool is that, Eldst?"

"Not a game I've ever played, but as I said, I've only played tetris, and...a bit of solitaire on the club computer when I was bored." She kicked the chief's seat. "We are not hosed yet, when you start glowing green from radiation, you can say that, but at the moment we're all breathing and fine."

"Pulling out a gun while driving. Terrible show. You've got all these fine people in the car with you, armed to the teeth to shoot me. You should keep your eyes on the road." Merlin smiled, scratching his chin.
"Did we have a talk about that? Can't seem to recall it, for another time, I suppose. But you all seem to be few for Locke, and since I've my magic back, I'm much more capable than an old man with a stick."

"Yeah, but a good guy always dies. Either in the fight, or right before it. It's always the funny one that everyone loves, so my odds aren't looking too good."
The Chief sees Merlin, and lets out a terrible sigh.

"Reacting first has saved my life more than once, wizard, and you were closer to me, meaning if you were an enemy I'd likely be the first victim, especially if I'm in control of the vehicle, which would also make me the most likely target with a possibility to disable the entire crew. NOW WILL PEOPLE PLEAASE QUIT TRYING TO LECTURE ME?!"

"Eldst, it looks like Xeen and Locke are already getting at it, or we wouldn't have been let go like that."

"And Cheif, if you don't quit your damned pansy whining about how we're going to die, I will make sure to put you in the range of fire first!"

Sean thought again.
"Xeen won't dare, not yet. With Locke's happy little finger sitting on the LRB, Xeen isn't going to do a goddamn thing about it. Now, we need to find a way to cut Locke off from his nukes. And Xeen's going to be all over Locke like stink on s**t."

"That wasn't a lecture, Chief, that is what we call a threat. And Merlin, since when have you known me to enjoy humor?" She shook her head. "Never mind, just forget it."

"Then we're back to going after Locke and the codes."
