TECHNOMANCER
Caruso
Technomancer and Elizabeth wake up, lying on a cold steel floor. The last thing they both remember, they were having a little fun in one of the suites on Tortuga. Now, they lie naked on the floor if the Freeport hanger bay, surrounded by service droids, who seem to be directing traffic more than anything.
A startled and cold Elizabeth says, "What the hell happened?"
As techno hears this, he opens his eyes to see a message from Alt.
"Thank you for all you've done. Your presence is no longer required."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"this is getting old fast ".activates locator beacon to find out where Tortuga is currently , while willing new clothes and armor back on to him and Elizabeth.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I was afraid of this." Elizabeth says looking over her clothes, "well not this exactly, but our problem with Germite nanites is that they would become intelligent and uncontrollable. I was wondering if it could happen, but I didn't think the Germite and Alt were in close enough contact. At least I'm hoping that's what happened.

The beacon comes up empty, but The Jack and Archangel are in range, as is the shuttle that was on board Tortuga, apparently it was dumped. Technomancer's equipment also indicates Alt used gas, similar to Elizabeth's old, and removed, Technomancer neutralizing protocol.
----------------------------------------------------------------
calls over the jack" let's try and catch her "or at least get her in hailing frequency range "
---------------------------------------------------------------
Technomancer is able to remotely activate the shuttle. Taking escape pods over, the pair is able to quickly trace Tortuga's trail of wormholes. After several jumps, they arrive back at the gas cloud, well in range of Tortuga.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Let's open a comm line to the Tortuga and see what's on her mind," starts accessing the terminal and then says, "Alt what do you think you're doing? This is silly bring Elizabeth, me, and the shuttle back into the cargo bay."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"But I don't need to. I'm fully capable of self repair. What do I need you two for?"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Who said anything about you needing us we need you  ... and I have more improvements in mind and furthermore.." this time putting emphasis and fully extending his power "I was not asking alt , I said bring Elizabeth , me, and the shuttle into the cargo bay NOW.". The word now sounding inhuman as it traveled out of his mouth
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The shuttle is immediately tractor beamed onto Tortuga.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Thank you alt that was very kind of you, we're going to travel the vast oceans of space and it wouldn't be right without you." lights a cigar and takes a puff. "Why were you in the gas cloud alt?"
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Alt does not respond. The ship seems to have nothing but the base intelligence. Technomancer easily finds that Alt used the fabricator to make herself a body, very similar in design to Archangel in appearance. The craft has no space for a human occupant, and is entirely made of Germite. It also has all the same forms of propulsion as Tortuga, and it gated away just as the shuttle arrived. A message from Alt is left in the computers.

"I have gone to explore on my own. I will return. Thank you."

DIANNA
Round 3
The plan for round three and four is simple, everyone loses except one person, and it needs to look like the winner gets there by the skin of their teeth. After discussing it, the decision is that Wyte will make it through round three for the team. Everyone else can go out on whatever style they choose, the idea is to make sure the Angels get underestimated.
The plan goes well, until Wyte actually gets beaten in the Light Armor category by a female fighter called Vixxen. Luckily, Jinx had planned on going out in the heavy armor round, and is able to eek out a win, taking the angels just barely into round 4.
Alice had gone out first, in hand to hand, because she had something she wanted to discuss with Kindra. Wyte and Dianna, who chose to go out in Light armor, stayed back with Kirby, who went out in hand to hand so she could watch some other matches, to watch Jinx win. The four return to find Alice sleeping on the sofa at the center of the arboretum.
As she approaches the sleeping girl, Kirby says, "Kindra! Wake up and put Alice's tits back!"
Kindra sits up startled. "Huh..."
"What are you doing wearing an Alice suit?"
"Oh! I forgot," stretching as she shifts to the unanimously top-voted green goddess, "I was showing Alice some things. How did it go?"
---------------------------------------------------------------
Dianna grins as she gets a cool drink and sits down heavily "Looks to me you were showing Alice something quite interesting. Care to share the naughty details?" She laughed as she took a refreshing gulp of her drink. "I was curious why Alice disappeared so early. It isn't like her to keep things from us." She offers her mug to Kirby.
