"=== Red Dragon Inn: 2015-04-22 20:00 ===
= Andu Kirost has entered the room =
Andu Kirost: ::Andu silently slips in through the back alley door, pausing a couple steps in to take a long look around the relatively6 crowded common room.::

Tiarya: ::She pushed the back door in and wandered into the inn pausing to glance around. Her one wing was no longer bandaged and actually looked usable but still red where it was orginally injured... She glanced around and quickly noticed Andu and wandering over giving a wave to a few familar faces in the inn.::

Andu Kirost: ::Reaching his chosen spot, Andu leans over the bar to snag his special coffee mug, and turns to lean back against the bar. Not ""quite"" sitting on it.::

Andu Kirost: ::Andu smiles and gives a nod and wave to Tia when she is spoted, though she also receives an assessing look, his eyes taking in the sights of those prior injuries.::

Tiarya: ::She wanders around the bar and pauses stretching her wing so Andu can see it a little bit... the wing membrane is healed thankfully but still looks tender.:: ""Better but not complete yet.."" :She sighed taking a seat on a bar stool before glancing about the inn again for a moment... :: ""I think I've tracked them down""

Andu Kirost: Ah. That is good. Think they are something you can handle?

Tiarya: ""Well Seina said she wants to chew on one..."" ::She chuckles softly shaking her head:: ""She is big enough to easily do so.."" ::She thinks for a moment seriously debating his question but she gives a quick nod:: ""If I plan it correctly ... they will be easy to take out... just got to make sure Seina understands the plan""

Andu Kirost: ::Nods.:: That is good, but make sure you have back up plans in place, in case something goes wrong.

= Baby Ice has entered the room =

Tiarya: ::She stretched her wings a little as she debated the situation glancing about the inn for a moment and giving Eyahue a nod as he got to the bar... She turned her head back to Andu thinking over a few ideas:: ""Well that is what I've been going over... once I am sure of at least three or four options then I will go ahead and put it into action""

Andu Kirost: That sounds wise to me. But make sure you have a ""G.T.H"" plan as well.

Baby Ice: a small white hatchling out of the under the couch. she sniffed around.

Tiarya: ::She blinks and tilts her head then seems to understand giving a nod..:: ""Yes... yes that is true..."" :She thinks as she slowly curls her tail around her ankle as she thinks it over...:: ""IThere are three... of them... they are well armed for dragon hunting.. but it appears nothing really for close range contact...""

Baby Ice: she moves to stalk Andu.

Andu Kirost: Then it sounds like the trick will be to get in clsoe before they know you are even aware of where to find them. Distracted by Tia, her injuries,a nd her plans, Andu doesn't notice the hatchling stalking him.::

Baby Ice: she moves low, flicking her tail. she pounced on his feet.

Tiarya: ::She thinks to herself... :: ""Yes I have a few different plans.. I'd prefer to lure them away from their camp...."" ::She thinks then notices somethin by Andu's feet the chuckles softly at the hatchling::

Andu Kirost: ::ANdu does jerk a bit at having his feet pounced, but manages to not kick out or anything really major, just jerking his feet a bit as his gaze snaps down to see what is after him tonight.:: Ah! A hatchling!

Baby Ice: Blue eyes peeks up at him, and she head but his leg. wanting a scratch,

Andu Kirost: ::Andu smiles, and reaches down to give Baby Ice scritches.:: Hello there, Litte One.

Baby Ice: she was itchy and dy skin. she looks arond for her momma. she chruip for her..

Andu Kirost: ::Andu tilts his head, as if listening to whispering in his ear.:: Ah, your mama isn't here, Icesong. ::And he did notice the dry skin when providing scritches.:: Would you like me to help you with that dry scale?

Tiarya: ::She watched the little hatchling and Andu with a soft sigh frowning a little a little for a moment: ""Who is this Andu..?""

Andu Kirost: This is Icesong, one of Icer's. I think she may be missing her mother.

Baby Ice: she nods, and peeks at Tia.

Andu Kirost: Icesong, this is Tia. She is a good friend, almost family.

Tiarya: ::She frowns a little at Andu's words and gives a slow nod sighing softly:: ""I Hope Icer gets better soon.. its been too long.."" ::Her attention is then drawn down to Icesong smiling:: ""Hello little one.."" ::She twitched her tail left to right watching the small hatchling curiously::

Andu Kirost: ::Andu sets his coffee mug on the bar and reaches into a pouch on his belt to take out a large toothpaste style tube as he kneels in front of the bar.::

Baby Ice: she purred her hello.

Tiarya: ::She smiled at the hatchling before her attention was drawn back to Andu who was now kneeling... She raised an eyebrow and tilted her head slightly to the side curious in to what he was up too..::

Baby Ice: she moves closer to Andu, standing in front of him. wings out alittle bit.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu dispenses a little of the scale oil out of the tube onto his fingers and holds them out for Icesong to smell. She should recall it as the oil used by her mother for dry scales.::

Baby Ice: she sniffed and oil and nods to andu.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu carefully starts applying the oil to Icesong's scales, starting at the dryest spots and working to cover all of her.:: Scale Oil. Icesong here has a serious case of dry scales.

Tiarya: ""Oh"" ::she blinks watching thinking to herself for a moment:: ""Thats not a bad idea""

Baby Ice: she sighs, feeling the oil seep in. purring very loudly.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu gives Tia a raised eyebrow.:: Oh? This oil is some that was made up for Icer, I keep a supply on hand for Icer, and others with scales that might need it.

Tiarya: ::She gives another nod as she thinks to herself:: ""I've never had much of an issue.."" :She smiles softly as she looks down at the hatchling:: ""Thankfully"" :She chuckles softly as she shifts her wings on her back:: ""But the idea of having an oil around is not a bad one""

Andu Kirost: ::Nods.:: I can have Gaia run off a batch for you, if you would likle. It is actually full dragon that really have the problem, it seems. It does seem to occur most often while they are growing.

Tiarya: ""Well I haven;t had a need for it at the moment.. but if I do I know where to go"" :She chuckles softly before slowly standing and giving a nod:

Andu Kirost: ::Nods as he continues applying the oil to Icesong's scales.:: Okay, tia. HEading out?

Tiarya: ""Ya I want to think over some more options before putting this all into action..."" :She nods thinking for a moment befire giving a grin: ""But want to act soon... "" :She stretches her wings and slowly heading behind the bar towards the back door: ""I will let you know how well it goes"" :She nods: ""Night Andu take care""

Andu Kirost: But not too soon, give yourself time to heal first. Sweet Dreams & Restful Sleep, when that time comes, Tia.

Tiarya: ::She gives him a wave before slipping out the back door::

Andu Kirost: ::Andu finishes applying the scale oil to Icesong's scales.:: There, is that better, little one?

Baby Ice: she nods. folding her wings back on her back

Andu Kirost: ::Andu winces, like some one just YELLED in his ear.:: Oh oh. It seems I'm late for a meeting, Icesong. Would you like to come with me?

Baby Ice: she shakes her head no. and look back at the couch.

Andu Kirost: OKayt, you going to be okay? I will try to get back as soon as I can.

Andu Kirost: Want me to help you get back into your hiding spot girl?

Baby Ice: she nods. and shakes her head.

Andu Kirost: Okay, you will be okay, and You can return on your own, right?

Baby Ice: she nods.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu bends forward togive her a good scritching.:: Then I'll say, Sweet Dreams & REstful Sleep, in case you fall asleep before I can return.

Baby Ice: she purred at the scratching

Andu Kirost: ::With a last scritch and a bit of a nuzzle with his nuckles, Andu stands.:: I need to get going, you take care, and I'll check in on you later.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu straightens, and lumbers hurriedly for the back alely door.::

Andu Kirost: ::Quickly ducking his head, he pushes his way out and into the night's embrace.... Only to have that embrace ruptured by a flash of shimmering blue light.::

((Andu went to attend the Governor's Town Hall meeting for an hour or two at this time))

Baby Ice: she was curled against the bar, snoring very loudly. as long as no one step o n the small white hatchling.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu silently slips in through the back alley door once mroe, having decided to forgo the run on burghers that followed the Townhall meeting.::

Baby Ice: Purring very loud

Andu Kirost: ::Andu grins, and follows the sound of loud purring to its source.::

Baby Ice: she was curled agaist the bar, her head was under the wing,

Andu Kirost: ::finding the white hatchling asleep next to the bar, Andu carefully kneels next to her and speaks softly.:: Hey, Ice song. You not make it back to your ""lair""?

Baby Ice: she yawns and peaks out under her wing. Looking at andu.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu grins at Icesong.:: So, you decide to wait up for me? Or just get to tired to make it back under the couch? ::chuckles soflty.

Baby Ice: she headbut to andu on his first question,

Andu Kirost: ::Andu smiles, and sits on the floor, thereby creating a lap Icesong could take advantage of, if she wanted to.:: So, you want snuggles, or did you just want a hand getting back under that couch?

Baby Ice: She moves into his lap, purring started again.

Andu Kirost: ::And when Icesong does move onto his lap, scritches will also start up again.:: You been doing okay here? Keeping yourself fed and well?

Baby Ice: she was still smaller than she should be, the marks on her legs had been healed but they are still scars.

Andu Kirost: ::Knowing her mother as he does, size issomething Andu doesn't readily mention, though her lack of growth is noted, as are the scars.::

Baby Ice: she closed her eyes at the scratches. feeling so good. she lifted her wings up.

Andu Kirost: ::Smiling at her reaction, Andu also takes advantage of the opportunity to check out her wings, and the surfaces they normally cover, checking for injury, and other igns of ill health. Just in case.::

Baby Ice: she had a scar on her shoulder where she was shot. and her wrist was little weak from being broken durning her capture.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu frowns a bit at all the damage Icesong has already taken in her short life.:: You have had a hard time, haven't you girl? We should see about getting you some fun times to balance them out.

Baby Ice: she worried that ivy was dead, it shown in her eyes.

Andu Kirost: ::Well, Andu isn't a mind reader, so he doesn't know ""what"" is bothering her, though he can tell something is.:: Is something bothering you, Icesong?

Baby Ice: pictures of Ivy flickered in his head.

Andu Kirost: Ah! ::Andu nods in understanding.:: Haven't seen him in some time, have you? Want me to help you see if we can find him?

Baby Ice: She nods and touched his watch.

Baby Ice: with her nose.

Andu Kirost: When? Well, we need to plan. The when, and also the where.

Baby Ice: it was before she was snatched off the streets at their manor. when she was under brimstone she saw him then, she put some pictures of the old place.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu nods at the pictures forming in his mind.:: well, when ever you are ready, I can take you around there, and we can see if he is home. Or has been seen recently.

Baby Ice: She nods. she hadn't made it out of the inn. in hope to see him. she didn't know it was no longer stand.

Andu Kirost: ::Well, Andu never really knew where she lived, only that it was with Ivy, so he wouldn't be aware of any damage to her ""home"" there.::

Baby Ice: she tread her paws, and tail was flickering.

Andu Kirost: Would you like to go check now?

Baby Ice: a nod.

Andu Kirost: Okay, you want me to carry you, or would you like to climb up onto my shoulder? It seems a popular perch for small ones. ::Andu would hold one arm out along one leg, forming a sort of ""ramp"" up to his shoulder.::

Baby Ice: She stayed where she is. loving being baby for once.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu smiles, and takes the hint, gathering Icey up in his arms so he can cradle and carry her.:: Comfortable?

Baby Ice: she nods. and rubs her head to his chest.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu smiles as he stands, and makes for the front door.:: You will have to give me directions, as I don't know where the place you showed me is located.

Baby Ice: Giving him pictures of the way to the place.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu nods, and ducks his head to slip out the front door and across the porch. There he takes a moment to match the images up with the view to decide which way to turn once he hits the street.::

Andu Kirost: ::A nod of his head, and Andu steps off the porch and heads deeper into the city, following the images provided by Icesong.::

Baby Ice: it was next to the cemtary.

= Baby Ice has entered the room =

= Andu Kirost has entered the room =

Andu Kirost: ::Andu carefully walks toward the building shown to him by Icesong. Every sense alert and rapidly scanning the area. Icesong still cradled in his arms. Unfortunatly, it seems that while the terrain is pretty much the same, the building itself is far from it.::

Baby Ice: Blue eyes darted to the ruins of her former home. memories and the words of love had sent ache to her heart. a few ice tears slip down her cheeks. This was her only chance to find him. she wigglled to be put down down.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu kneels, and carefully lowers her to the ground.:: Take care, it could be dangerous still there.

Baby Ice: She took a few steps as a dragonling then a few steps her human. she wore some clothes that was a few size too big. ""what we going to do, Andu?""

Andu Kirost: Hrmm. Well, I think we need to first figure out what happened here, and where your friend Ivy has gotten to. At this point what we need are information. With out it we can't plan well what to do.

Baby Ice: she nods. 'If we can get to the computer, Villa... maybe she could tell us what happened."" she picked through the rubbled. tears steady fall.

Andu Kirost: A computer. That is something I can, possibly, work with. Where is this computer located?

Baby Ice: 'she was out the Lair. in the ground. we need to locate the motor board.. I only saw her once. she didn't like me.""

Andu Kirost: Okay. Any idea about ""where"" she was, from a ground level perspective? ::Andu nods, and reaches up to tap at his upper left arm.:: Gaia, I need a magnetic scan of this lot. We are looking for a computer, so keep it low level.

Baby Ice: 'she was next to the main bedroom... our bedroom."" she moves, tip toes on the ruins. ""around here.... if there was a bomb, could she be alive?""

Andu Kirost: She might be. But it is unlikely she is operating at the moment. But that isn't a problem. If we can find the hardware that makes her up, I can have Gaia transport her back to the C3 complex of my home, and Dia and Gaia can either revive her, or at least retrieve what information is available on her drives.

Andu Kirost: Close to the main building, Gaia. Scan no more than 200 feet outside of the foundation.

Baby Ice: she nods. and looks around. ""the entrance has been cave in."" she looks around. she knees down and started digging in the soot. ""He was trying to do an antidote so he could drink my blood.... But I have a feeling my blood that killed him.""

Andu Kirost: No. Your blood may or may not have been the weapon of choice, but, if he is dead, then the hand that wielded the weapon is where the blame for his death lays. ::And gets down on his knees to assist Icesong in digging out the area she seeems to believe the coumpter is located in.

Andu Kirost: ::

Baby Ice: she found some wires wich was a good sign, she looks to the wires. ""here's a bunch of wires. we could follow them right?""

Andu Kirost: ::Andu nods.:: From what I know of computers, we can.

Baby Ice: ""how deep do they go."" she lifts up her hand, smoothing soot on her face by accent. ""Can Gaia tell us witch way?""

Andu Kirost: ::Andu looks closely at the wires.:: Why don't you start digging out around them, and I'll widen the passage as you go.

Baby Ice: she would slowly digged them out. she didnt know if they are alive or not. she hated the computer but now she needed the computer.

Andu Kirost: ::A female voice issues from Andu's upper left arm.:: The core of the computer seems to be in the direction away form the house, but not too deep. I think Andu will need to open the way once you reach the outside wall of where it is located.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu works behind Icey, clearing out the debris from her digging, and carefully enlarging the opening so that even his massive form can fit. It shouldn't take long to arrive at the outer walls of ""Villa's"" enclosure.::

Baby Ice: 'Villa.... wake up.' she called out but only answers by silence,

Andu Kirost: Step back, Ivy. I'll make an opening so we can see what state she is in.::Andu carefully works his fingers into the outerwalll. Litterally simply crumbling the surface to dust as he wiggles his fingers deeper, until he can get a good grip, and rip a section of the wall free.::




(((( OOOOC break ))))
Andu Kirost: ((Time freeze for the gathering of approval to use Ivy's Villa, and information on data and condtion.))

Andu Kirost: ugs. My IMS have died again.

Andu Kirost: ((Your SL, your choice on the name, IceSong. };-) ))

Andu Kirost: ((FYI< IMS are instant messages. That little window conversations with specific people occurs in.))

= Andu Kirost has entered the room =

Baby Ice: (oh ok)

Andu Kirost: ((My system is really starting to get lagged. I think I need to restart it. We can resume the play after you've had a chance to talk to Ivy mun about the computer((

Baby Ice: (ok. as soon as I see him)

Andu Kirost: ((And it is also bedtime for this mun, almost 1am here. You take care, Icey, and you also Summoner. };-) ))

Icesong was in hatchling from so she wiggling into the old lair. dangerous in this form, she could easy get squished by the fallen rubble but she could fit in the smallest place, She moves and dug inside, she was going to need a bath, but getting things she needed.

*Icesong would find the hallway to the living quarters her and Ivy had shared. The hall was indeed rubble strewn with hatchling sized holes. The inner walls, floor and ceilings of the hall had dark ash on them from the fire Hemlock had started.

she let out a rumble recognizing the living quarters. a sneeze from the dark ash, she looks around for anything she could use. weapons, pictures, anything. she digs using her small paws, trying to go through the ash.

*She'd find some of the books Ivy was reading. Scorched covers but the pages were intact. Some of the photos would be very charred. A slightly warped casing would be found. Ivy's mp3 recorder with possible recordings still salvageable. The weapons would be in his armory, past a burned out door to the left where the bed was now ash.

Icesong touched the items with her muzzle sending each of the items back on the surface. she picked them up these. she move moves toward the armory, flicking her tail, trying to moveable. a rumbled again, her ice blue eyes take in.

*The armory was a complete wreck. Next to it was the small garage where his bike once was. The bike was missing. She'd find his old gladius sword, stained with soot and scorch marks but useable. A few grenades were in a case at the bottom of a melted pile of ammo boxes. Some throwing knives would have survived the fire. The sword and knives she'd remember had coatings to kill undead vampires instantly. Finally she'd find a charred safe, the door closed, the contents may be safe within.

Icesong did notice the bike was missing, and that cause her to flicked her tail and wonder where the bike was locate. She touched the old sword with her muzzle and the grenades was touch, maybe they were saveable. She touch the throwing knives, she would touched the safe with her muzzle. sending it to the surface

.* She would find one more thing in this area of the lair. Behind a melted sheet of glass was Ivan's old Navy blue naval coat with the titanium weave chainmail lining it. It had clips and pockets on the inside to hold a variety of weapons and would smell like him, if not a little smokey.
Icesong would flip the glass off of it. She nuzzled the coat, smelling his scent that she missed so much and sent it to the surface. His smell made her want to work harder she picked up her head higher and pressed on, trying to see if that the rest of the lair was sucussble from the here. or she has to picked her way back out.

*One last place would be open to her without heavy machinery to unearth rooms. A small escape well down to Ivy's laboratory. There was a ladder on one side of the well, leading down into darkness.

Icesong let out a rumbled. she looked around for a flashlight seeing a flashlight, She checked the batteries to make sure they were still good. she turned it on and shined it in the darkness. seeing it was safe for her. she is going to need to be human going down. she just need to make sure it was safe.

*Icesong would see the floor of the lab bellow, down that emergency well. Glittering shards of glass would be seen on white tile floor dinghy with soot. The rungs on the attached ladder seemed stable and sturdy.

She would move into her human form, slowly and make sure it could hold her weight. seeing the glass on the floor, she careful moves on the ground. even in human form she will be covered in ashes and soot. she shined the flashlight around, she never been in Ivy's lab before.

*Soot and dust covered silent machines. Most of the equipment down here had survived. Perhaps missed by the arsonist assassin. Without Villa running, the machines were all off, standby lights blinking. The back up generator for the room deep bellow was still functioning. A projector and a screen were down for use, but off. Several refrigerators were about as well as bins and cases of every known drug possible in the universe and lots of catalogues and formularies on them. A picture of Icesong in human form, being the cute secretary sitting on a desk by Ivy was next to several microscopes that were dark. Vials of dried up dragon blood sat by the scopes.

Baby Ice

Date: 2015-05-17 00:25 EST
She moves to the generator giving it a few cranks. just to run it. She started the generator by hitting the on button. She picked up the picture. and hug it to her. she turned her blue eyes in hope the projector will work.

*Flickers of light lit up the front panel and soon the viewing screen lit up from the projector. She'd see Ivy in a lab coat working on several machines. "Subject is Icesong. Dragon. Her blood contains a peculiar protein only found in Dragon blood that makes anyone suffering from the Vampirism virus to become violently sick. It may be possible to replicate it as a weapon against vampires. No doubt, it could be used against me. Work on a serum to reduce that toxicity is showing slow but promising results. It has been 10 days since I've taken the antidote and sipping from her donated blood has proven only a mild nausea. I am close to breaking the puzzle. But it will have to wait. Reginald's death has turned Dimitri into a rabid dog and Lanna has me dead to rights in her street court of vampires." He'd lean over a scop with weary look. "I may be running out of time but all I can do is continue the war." *Video Feed Paused. Video Feed Paused. Press Start To Continue Recording.* The projector would stop, waiting to record new footage.

Icesong tucked her blond hair behind her ear, seeing Ivy tears come up but they hadn't fall. She would find the next video. she would sent the video up the projector. "and that's what they did, Ivy... Kill you with my blood.' she hit start button and pause to look at the screen. "there's no way you could survive a high doses."

*The video that played was different. It wasn't Ivy. It was a slim, pale woman dressed in black leathers. She walked and moved like a vampire. She was moving about the lab, poking into various machines and at the bins of medicine. She had a can of gasoline in one hand and was smoking a cig. She paused a moment, found a notebook on the table with microscopes and flipped it open. She read the note book for a few moments and looked around the lab. The woman tucked the book into her jacked and left lab, moving off screen. Soon the glow of yellow and white would illuminated the room as well as fire alarms from the rooms above. The video faded to black after showing an untouched lab for several more hours.

She would tilt her head. who was the thief she wonder. She moves to find anyone. she set that last video in. She would moves to hit the play button one last time, Ice blue eyes turned to the screen one last time.

* Ivy was staring into the camera. "Hello Icesong...."

She gasped hearing that. "Ivy..."

* "If you're seeing this message, it means you found my laboratory before I could show it to you. That means.... I failed to find you and get you back; that I failed to take Dimitri down and died. I don't know how you are doing by the time you watch this, but I do miss you, Icey. I've come close to perfecting the cures I was after. Don't cry for my death. It was a possiblity since the war started. I want you to live happy, Icey. Find a good man or dragon and enjoy your life..." He paused. "Though I think you've a bit too stubborn for that my love. If anything remains of the base, use it. Learn what you can with any of the books and Villa. Train hard and kick Dimitri?s ass. Maybe then, you can find peace and rest yourself." He'd kiss his fingers and touch the lens of the projector. "Bye Icey. I have to go kill Dimitri." The video would fade to black and end.

She closed her blue eyes. a few tears had escape. she sighs softly. "I promise you. I will kill Dimitri. I will make him pay for taking you away from me. I promise with bottom of my broken heart. " she would clean the tears from her cheek. she sent the videos home to the Headquarters, along with the projector and screen. she looks to around, trying to find something to use. anything.


*There was nothing new to find in the laboratory except for some boot prints that smelled of hemlock, vampire, and blood from Ivy. The prints would lead from the lab, to the main door of the lab and then out the garage exit for the motorcycle.

Icesong would follow the prints. she held the picture close to her, she looked around for the motorcycle. if Ivy was out, the motorcycle was lost for her. she missed him so much.

Icesong: "The vampire.... She is the only one who could. I don't know how she found the lair. I can ask Aunt Ammy..." who was she talking to. Herself. She shakes her head. She looked around to see anything she could use. a hand through her blond hair, dirtying it up.

* The garage held a variety of small hand tools and it looked like a large locker that showed several attempts at forced entry that failed. The locker was still locked up tight.

Icesong: She was going to need a big truck when she was done here. She touched the locker to sent it on the surface. She glanced one more time around. She moves down, careful. Not knowing the damage around. Her ice blue eyes look around. Her exit to the surface, with some care wouldn't prove hazardous. Once on the surface. "I have to try to find the library. but I fear I can't get all the books." She closed her eyes and moves to picked up the places of her former life. she moves to put Ivy's jacket on. she snuggled up to his smell, she didn't mind the smoke smell. she just have a piece of him back.

Ammy : Icesong just might hear a motorcycle echo in the glen, getting closer.

Icesong:: She looks around, hearing the motorcycle. she closed her eyes. and opens them, she would picked up and place the throwing knives in the pocket of her jacket. and then Ivy's prize sword.

Ammy : Soon, on a dirt bike was a figure in leather and wearing a large motorcycle helmet with a dark visor down. The bike came to a halt and was dismounted by the figure who looked the whole burned down topside over.

Icesong: A low growl but keeping her human form. She gripped the sword like Ivy had taught her. She was ready to strike if needed to be. Her ice blue eyes narrows at the figure. she tooked in the smell, trying to smell the figure out.

Ammy :: The figure paused seeing the young woman cloaked and armed with a sword. The figure unsheathed a rapier from a sheath on her left hip and it flared to life with flame licking along it's slender blade. "Who are you and what are you doing at this place?" The voice was muffled from the helmet.

Andu Kirost: ::It isn't long after Ammy's arrival that Andu also arrives, pulling up behind her dirt bike. The Dune buggy he is driving pulls 2 boxcars and a flat bed.::

Icesong: "I own this place..." Her hand tightened around, sending ice down the blade, It wasn't planned but she worked with it. Being an ice dragon can make sure she has that powers. Ice. "who are you?" She couldn't really smell, only thing she smell was the leather and glen around her.

Ammy :: The figure paused, the dune buggy coming up behind the figure and the rapier lowered. "Icesong?" The voice muffled. Soon the helmet was taken off, revealing a whit furred muzzle and crimson hair spilling out like water. Ammy sheathed her rapier, the flames dying out.?

Icesong: "Yes...." She sheathed the sword. what a mess she was. cover head to toe in ash and soot. she took a few steps toward her aunt and smiled at Andu. "Its me."

Andu Kirost: ::Size, and distinct lack of covering makes it easy to see Andu even before he climbs up out of the driver's seat of the dune buggy.:: Hello, Icesong, Ammy.

Ammy :: "Andu..." she nodded to him. A wet towel appeared in her gloved hands. She offered it to Icesong to get clean with. "Looking for Ivy as well?" she asked. She noticed the coat and the sword and the soot. "How bad is it inside?"

Icesong: "Bad.... I could bearly move.... Do you have his motorcycle?" She moves to clean up face. "His lab was the only thing not damage... Do you want to take the supplies..... " She took the coat off, trying to clean up the best she could. she couggh a few times.

Ammy :: : "No. This is one of my bikes. If it's not in the garage he may have lost it Icesong." She heard the coughing and pulled from a saddle bag a small breathing mask and cannister of oxygen. She'd go over to Icesong and slip the mask over her nose and mouth. "Sounds like you got into soot and smoke. Breath the oxygen in. It'll help. Andu and I came to see what we could help with. I was waiting until I was certain no one could connect me with Ivan.

Icesong:: She sit down, and breath in the oxygen. "I should have waited. But I had too... I sent some stuff to Headquarters... I want to try to find te library." she looked up to her aunt and Andu. "Don't you have a locator on the bike?"

Andu Kirost: ::Andu rubs his chin thoughtfully while looking over the ruins in front of him.:: This guy had a lot of stuf, some of it rather dangerous, didn't he?

Ammy :: : "I do. I"ve... been sitting on looking for it." She sighed. "If he's dead it's on me Icesong and I want to find things out quietly. Once we are done here I'll locate it. Just... jail is something I can't have happen to me these days. As to the library..." She pulled out a flat sheet of hardened glass and pulled up the floor plans and blue prints of the base. "Hmm. Should be safe. Plenty of fire contengency in that room unless someone jammed things up." she glanced at the blueprints. "Ivan? Gods knows what all he had. For one, if his lab is still operational we want that empited and locked down. He's the one that made Brimstone that Brian's boys have been so hot to find..... I'd kill him myself... but he's Icesongs mate." She said a bit crossly. "The weaponry he had was from me and I can vouch some of it can be as lethal as an old, armed land mine."

Icesong: She nods. She breath in the oxygen and listening. "I understand. But someone has already been in the lab.. A vampire woman. I thought you was her."

Andu Kirost: ::Andu nods slowly.:: Then I think the best move at this point is for Icesong to find and take what she wants, and then I'll have Gaia move "everything" else, a stone at a time if we have to. Nothing should be left here. One thing I've learned about this town, is anything left out, no matter how well locked down, some one can find and take.

Ammy :: "Vampire woman? Hmmm. You get her scent?" She squatted down by Icesong.

Icesong: She shakes her head. "there's a video, and all I have smell in the lab. was the soot and the ashes," she shakes her. "I found a locker and a safe..... Locked." She closed her eyes. "Momma didn't even show compassion about him."

Ammy :: "Well.... she was concerned. He was a drug dealer and starter of drug crimes." Ammy patted her back. "But things change. Just stay positive. I'll take a look in his lab and garage. You work with Andu and get to the library." She'd place the glass panel in her hand. "Blueprints. You'll find the library to the left by that clump of burned cedars. should be 100 feet down to hit the emergency service port. The main entrance would be sealed against fires." She stood and thought a moment. "Did... Villa survive?"

Andu Kirost: ::Andu shrugs.: Most of the hardware did,but there was some serious data corruption, I'm told. The AI and her personality are effectively unrecoverable by my girls.

Icesong: She looked at the blueprint, and she stands. "we need to load up all the stuff I had found already." she looks to ammy and then andu. She took the oxygen mask off and fold up Ivy's coat. she was ready.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu nods.:: You start loading the small stuff into the box cars, I'll load the larger stuff onto the flatbed.

Ammy :: "Mmm.... There may be a back up in the laboratory. I'll check." She took out a flashlight and headed in. "If I run into issues I'll contact you Andu."

Andu Kirost: You do that, Ammy. ANd keep an eye on your back in there.

Icesong: She moves to packed up the smaller stuff. She closed her eyes and put the oxygen back on her face. The recorder went into her pocket, she wonder if she could try to listen to it.

Ammy: Ammy gave a nod and a wave of understanding and headed in through the main entrance. She made use of her alchemy circles to shore up and clear hallways as she went in further.

Andu Kirost: ::As the other two move off to do their part, Andu steps over to the largest piece to start loading the flatbed.::

Icesong: "Do you think we are being watched?" one person was easy to hide, but three people could look suspicous. she glanced to Andu.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu shrugs.:: That is always possible in this town. But it doesn't really matter. I think our first stop after leaving here will be Gaia. From there, if we go anywhere, all trails will be easily hid.

Ammy: She found the armory and living quarters. A low whistle seeing how much damage the fire made to the place. She started poking around. She found little to report. Ash and destruction. She did find the well that led down to the lab. Knowing the elevator was out by simple protocols she took to the ladder. Her comband was on the
whole time so they could here her. "If I find a squid down here, I'm going to scream."

Icesong: "I walk here...." she glanced to her path. she laughed abit. "I am done with all the small bits. The bigger peaces I tried to send to Headquarters through the plane. what I feel much important."

Andu Kirost: ::Andu chuckles as he carefully sets the safe Icesong found on the flat bed. :: If you find a squid down there, Ammy, we are having Calamari for supper tonight.

Ammy "Haha, Andu. Last squid I dealt with about leveled a school and dislocated my leg. I'm getting too old for this." she was down in the lab finally and looked around. "Holy molly. He's just about set up as fancy as me in gear. And bins full of medicine of every type. I'm tagging things down here andu for telerportation to the flat bed. Let you know when I am done."

Andu Kirost: ::Andu nods as he goes back for another piece of gear.:: If it's medicines, I'll have Gaia transport it to the second boxcar. The sides of that one are completely solid, TP is the only way in or out, and it's warded.

Icesong:: She touched the coat a second time. "Do you think He is really gone... I found a tape to me." she lifts up the blue prints and moves in the direction. Dimitri was the one who had set fired to the Lair. and she was the one who got away. She remember his words from the tape,

Andu Kirost: If you found a tape, and his personal bike is gone, then I would say there is a chance he made it out. From the damage done, he may have decided it was best he go to ground someplace no one will find him. Cut all ties that could lead the ones that did this to believe they didn't get the job done.

Ammy Spiritor: Tagging all the bins and equipment, Ammy paced around in the lab a bit. "Okay... vampire... out with your secrets. You're about as hitech as me. I doubt you'd have Villa run without back ups." She poked around the walls and cabinets looking for any recorders or sealed hard drives.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu has a thought as he loads a tookit onto the flatbed.:: Ammy, Sherlock, Purloined letter.

Icesong: "The tape said If I see this, He didn't make it. He didn't make it out to save me..." she heard Ammy. "if he does, I don't know where it is. we found the hardware with wires."

Ammy "Say again?" Ammy said not sure what she heard.

Icesong: "and I fear that woman vampire stole the bike, since she knew where the lab is."

Ammy : "Icesong. A goodbye video is only solid if you have a body. No body or remains means he could be alive still."

Icesong:: "I don't know if Dimitri has the body or not."

Andu: ::Andu sighs.:: Don't forget to check out the stuff you expect to see down there. Vases, books, pictures. Stuff your first instinct is to dismiss as just brick-a-brack.

Ammy : Audible face palm over the comband. "Right. Right. Didn't have my coffee today." She went over everything again with a fine tooth comeb.

Andu: ::Andu chuckles soflty.:: There's a reason it took some one like Sherlock to think of it the first time, Ammy.

Icesong:: She moves toward the libaray. looking at the blue print. she bited down on her bottom lip.

Ammy: She found a humador by a pill dispenser. "Icesong, did Ivan ever smoke?"

Icesong: "No, He doesn't." She shook her head.

Andu: ::Setting the last large item on the flatbed, Andu dusts off his hands and follows Icesong.:: Time for some digging, Icesong?

Ammy: Opening the humodor she found a datapad for a lock. "Aha.... Elemntary my dear Watson." She took a breath and closed her eyes. She used her amature skill of majitek to feel a pattern in the locking algorhythms.

Icesong:: "Yep." She turned into her bigger dragon form. she set the glass down, "Right here." She started digging like a dog, pushing up the dirt.

Andu Kirost: ::Andu nods.:: Yeah. That work, for a bit. But if it's a 100 feet down, as Ammy said, we will need to change tactics. Make the top of the hole big and shallow, then we can work on a narrower shaft when you get too far to dig directly.

Icesong:: She gave a rumble, and keep digging. she wanted to find those books if they survived.

Ammy: It was taking time. Majitek was one skill new to her and rarely practiced. After a few minutes and a large headache, she punched in a number and a pannel before her opened. She grinned. "Found them." She could see a rack of back up drives. She reached ino the space and cried sharply. A jolt of electricity through her across the room to land among several specrtal analizers and into a bin of aspirin.

Icesong:: She jerk her head up, hearing her. "Are you okay?"

Andu: ::Andu freezes, and waits, since Icesong already asked the question.::

Ammy: Comband readings would indicate irratic heart beats and adrenaline for a bit indicative of a massive shock to her system. She spoke after several barrels of rapid heart beats. "I just... flunked dungeon diving 101. I didn't...nngh..." She twitched. "Check for traps. Shocked, thrown back... in a bin of aspirin."

Andu ::Andu snorts softly in amusment.:: You can't fail what you haven't taken yet, Ammy. But I'll be sure to include that in the course.

Icesong: She dug all she could and moves out of the hole. she coughs a bit.

Ammy: "I'm freaking 435 years old. I should know better. Ow..." She got out of the bin and found a turned ankle and broken arm. "Great.... I'll be out slowly. Marking the racks once I know they are safe."

Andu: You sure you don't need a hand down there, Ammy? ::Seeing Icesong leave the hole, Andu moves to take a look at it for a moment.::

Icesong: she burrow her muzzle in the oxygen mask, taking a few breaths of oxygen.

Ammy: "I'll be okay a bit longer. Once the stuff is tagged, I'll have you beam me out. Rolled my ankle and pretty sure I broke my left arm." she used Majiteck and found the circuitry to trap. She sent a mental burst and blew the circuit. She started tagging the drives without another shock.

Andu:: Okay. Gaia's ready, just give the word when you are. ::And steps to his dune buggy and retrieves a shovel and a large bucket with a thick rope attached.:: Icesong, I'll go down in th hole and keep digging. I'll but the debris in this bucket, when it's full, I'll let you know. You pull it up and dump it. Your current form should be able to manage both the weight and the task itself.

Icesong:: Icesong picked her head up and nods. "alright Just tie to me,"

Ammy: Soon she had everything tagged. "Okay. Gaia... beam out all tagged items. Then one to med bay. Andu, just tow my bike back and I'll pay you for the trouble. Head and arm are hurting too much to stick around more."

Andu: ::Gaia would start transporting out the tagged items, straight to a room off her med bay. :: Gotcha, Ammy. I'll load it on the flatbed, there's room. ::And Gaia would beam Ammy directly to the Med Bay in SHori's temple.:: Okay. ::And would toss the end of the rope to Icesong, who should find it thick enough for even large dragon claws to grasp.:: Think you can handle that?

Ammy: Ammy teleported and was cared for.

Icesong:: She nod. "I am ready."

Andu:: ::Andu nods, and clambers down into the hole to take up digging. SHovel fulls are scooped up and dumped into the bucket, every 5th shovel full he hollars up for Icesong to pull up the bucket while he sets aside his shovel to toss out some larger pieces.::

Icesong:: She woulld pulled the bucket up, empity it. she would lower the bucket back down. careful not to hit him.

Andu:: ::WIth the bucket back, ANdu picks up his shovel and fills it again. THis would be repeated many times as they work their way down the 100 feet to the library.:::Time will pass, and eventually Andu hears his shovel clank against a solid structure. A bit more work and he has cleared access to the entrance to the library.:: Okay, Icesong. Tie off the rope and come on down.

Icer: ::A tail was curled upon a ledge, wrapped around blue haunches. Nostrils twitched and flared a bit with each breath that filled her lungs, but the little dragon otherwise was napping.::::It would be a fly that buzzed her ear that woke her. Nostrils flaring once more as an ice blue eye opened. Wings soon unfurling in a stretch to test the winds.::

Icesong:: She would tied the rope and moves down the rope as her human form. she tosed him a flash light and turned. Looking infact the books were still intact. "I can't beleive this, andu."

Andu:: ::Amdu shrugs.:: I can. Your friend apparently was aware of both the value of books, and their vulnerability. He protected this place rather well.

Icesong:: "Ivy has so many books.... He sent me in here, reading. I hadn't even touch the library."

Andu:: ::Andu nods.:: It would take to long to move each of these. I suggest we let Gaia scan the erea, and then use the cargo transporters to move it whole scale.

Icesong:: "sounds good to me."

Andu: ::Andu nods, and takes a comband from a pouch on his belt and places it in a spot as close to the center of the library as he can get.:: Gaia, full scan for lock and transport whole. ::Nods to Icesong. Head back to the top. We need to clear the space while she scans.

Icesong:: She coughed again. "Can I have a ride...."

Andu:: ::Andu nods.:: YEah. Why don't you go have a seat in the Dune buggy. I'll be up in a few moments.

Icesong:: She moves to rope and climb back up, slowly to make sure she wont fall. and soon she was on the surface. slipping the mask back on her since she was out of breath.

Andu:: ::Andu steps out of the library and turns to carefully close it back up.:: :At an unheard warning, ANdu climbs back up to the surface himself and steps over to the Dune buggy. Shortly after a good portion of the ground above where the library was collapses in on itself, forming a large sinkhole.:: There. I believe she got it all.

Icesong: "That's good." she took in the breath of oxygen.

Andu:: Where would you like to go now?

Icesong:: "we could drop this off... and go to the inn?"

Andu:: ::Andu nods,:: BEtter yet, I'll have Gaia transport these cars to the secure garage, and we can head straight to the Inn ourselves. I could really use some coffee. :?Gaia. Could you please take the cars and place them in the secure garage? ::A female voice issues from his upper left arm, and the three cars are each enveloped in a column of shimmering blue light, etc. as they are transported into Gaia's secure garage.::Consider them secured, Andu.

Icesong: "alright." she cough abit, but took in some oxygen

Andu:: ::Andu himself would drop into the dune buggy's driver seat and roll out for the Inn.::


*Scenes was done by Ammy, Andu, and Icer, Thanks for all the help.
