Jon nods, holding her gaze word for word. His voice briefly breaks in his reply but stabilizes.
"I won't interfere. I won't...I can't kill him, but...if it is necessary...I won't be in the way."

Scrappy snorted annoyed still as always.
"Yeah yeah...let me work will ya?" She hits her combadge "=^= Leb get your scaley butt up here and bring the rep kit..."
She returned her gaze to the armored frames and suddenly smiled some as an inspiration seemed to hit home with her.

Decia turns to Seb it also might be a moot point if the chorus has reached a point where it can alter its enviroment at will.
"Captain Kirk's report said there was evidence it was able to alter the landscape of Delta Vega, normally barren to a more fertile condition...running water a small glade with trees bearing fruit..."
She sighed some and shook her head. "If that is the case...he need not worry about teleportation...also I do not think the Chorus is receiving outside help, there has been no report to date to show it is using a starship to travel nor allies to assist in whatever its goals are..."
She looks over to Seb and Therese.
"This is going to a unique battlefield and a battle none of us will be able to predict I fear..."

Alice's look held the deepest sympathy for him now.
"I know baby, I do...but also know this too." She pressed her cheek tightly to his...
"If there is even the slimmest of chances...we /will/ bring your brother back home..."
"I swear this will all of my heart..."

Jon nods and looks past her for a moment before looking back at her.
"I don't want more people to die on his account...I...I don't think he would, either."

Seb rubs the bridge of his nose. "We're really short on time, and I'm not too fond of the idea of our own weapons being used against us."
He thought for a moment. "I memory serves, ESPers give off certain waves when they activate their abilities. The Chorus, and I may be completely wrong if he's evolved past the point, may still give off those same kinds of patterns. Not fond of dealing with time-related spatial issues, either. There a way to modify it so it instead disrupts the patterns emitted by him using those abilities? I would think that'd be a safer alternative if possible... and if we have time for the adjustments." He scratched his neck. "We really should get started on trials with these things. Daniels can update the holos when she's finished with her tinkering and we can run some simulations if we have time."

Decia turns and accepts her PADD and begins to read the scrolling text. She seems to be metiulously reading it over and despite not having a science background seems to be comprehending quite a bit of the subject and how it just may relate to her side of the coming battle. Her emerald green eyes go wide as she comes to the 'Risks' section as she gives a soft silent breath of a whisper..."O filii carissimi..." She blinks. "This is quite a list of in the field hazzards...""Yes indeed, however it is written with the error tolerance of the daystrom institute and starfleet R&D. A normal field operations risk assessment would not cover many of those points due to how minor they are."She continues to read on, nodding to an entry here and there..."So, aside from the litany of battlefield hazzards it is in a sense a teleport restriction field which also functions as a transporter inhibitor and jams subspace communications...." She nods to this "That is if I am reading it correctly.."
"Yes, More or less.""Which to a degree will also effect any of our forces that may be within the burst radius of the target during its use?" She blinked again. "Sauce for the goose....i suppose..."
"Yes, Hence why I see the ground burst as a reserve, It has to significant drawbacks, But as I understand it it is of that magnitude of importance to stop the chorus from escaping that a higher risk then normal will be taken. That is why I am presenting this, in the end it is not my decision if it is to be used or not. But I thought to at least present it as an option."Her eyes returned to the hazzards listed. "My only concern is battle damage to the gear you have here...there is a very good chance this is going to be a very violent encounter given what we saw of his earlier capabilities on Travadi Prime...when he was weaker..." She looks to Therese "Just how much punishment do you think this device can take before its leakage and ill effects ...well effect the grounds forces?"
"Euhmm... I think you should ask Daniels that instead of me, she and her lovely crew are the ones who will build it after all. I just guess that the sturdier we make it, the larger and heavier it also becomes.""And how much might this affect our own Telepaths like say Kessi?"
"I cant be sure, and it depends on where the telepath is, and who it is, what they do and such... euhmm"
"Like A telepath outside the area will probably have issues reading the mind of anyone inside the area, and may having "Phatom thoughts" striking them from event horizon outcomes that did not become. If they are inside the field those effects could be stronger, possibly even so that they can not use their abilities at all, but that is highly theoretical, I am not a doctor of medicine, i'm sorry."'Overall I love the purpose of the device and think it will be a great asset....just we need to avoid the wall of risks involved. How much can it take before it breaks do you think?
"I am sure that the voodoo crew can make it sturdy, and we will implement features that has it shutting down safely before it reaches critical structural stress levels, thus when it breaks it does not do something stupid."
Seb reads over the list himself after adding "If you think you can add anything useful, now would be the time. Go nuts." to Daniels.After a moment he looks up. "There is one thing we haven't considered, and which I hope isn't the case. While the Chorus has made no attempt to do so, and possibly can't, we might want to just consider the possibility he can shift objects other than himself. And if he can, then it becomes a death trap, rather than a boon."He lets a beat pass. "And no, I don't have a suggestion to fix that.""That is a very good point! I do think that would be a suicide move however as the subspace "command" for lack of better word, must still originate within him... It. So in theory it should be able to do it once, but he would also scramble its brain so badly he ends up brain dead. "
Xylvarenn thinks for a moment, staring in to empty nothing.
"I can think of something that could attack the "brain patterns" you speak of, But the issue is that in order to attack that, Its shields needs to be down more likely then not I am afraid"

-Darkness notes for the reading impaired- daedalusomega.proboards.com/thread/4546/operations-ship-specs-adagio-99691The Antaeus retains core systems of a Paladin, which include Jump Jets... By harnessing the power system to superheat air, Jump Jets allow the wearer to briefly overcome gravity and rocket short distances over the battlefield. Duration and recharge needed governed by the game master. Another overlooked stat is the cruising speed of the armor is 50 kph, top rated at 80 kph with advanced hydraulics alone, not accounting for Jump Jet bursts. The only "weapon" systems installed at the Adagio was the Power Sword and Aegis Shield. Aegis has two modes, personal shield which acts as one would expect of a standard arm wielded shield, it also has deployment mode, sacrificing weapons and mobility as it braces in place to deploy a massive, arced shield for blocking incoming attacks in a small area directly behind the armor. Duration and effectiveness governed by the game master. All other weapons and extra devices need to be installed on Sentinel. Antaeus was given two additional features over a standard Paladin. The additional power settings of High Drive and Over Drive. Likely the least exciting addition and arguably its most important, Antaeus provides resistance to ESPER, telepathic and psionic variety attacks, something that not even the ICON armor offers... -dramatization of Decia deploying, Aegis in Over Drive mode-

The Trill continues her detailed testings for a while until she turns to Seb a bit sudden
"Dots? Do you know more of these brain waves you speak of, if we could gain some information of what exactly they are, we could disrupt them, or white noise them or something like that. Or do you know anyone who knows more, like the physical specifications and characteristics?"

Seb shook his head. "I don't know. Not my area of expertise. I would imagine there is something that disrupts it, as that's how we got our former XO under control when he ran rampant on the Starbase. The person to ask is Dr. Spencer... she was the one who actually removed the goo or whatever it was that was keeping his power in check. Might be able to find something there. Though I can't imagine there's much time to research it. Time is not our friend."

Xylvarenn starts beeping away on her wrist thingy, trying to find any information on the subject, placing her focus on this new curiosity while some tests runs
"Time might not be -your- friend... and time can be paused... we should see what we can do, Can you talk to this doctor person for me, please?"

Seb looks from Therese to the suits, then back again. he does this several times. "Yeah. I'll get right on that, after we do some tests, make modifications, plan.. you know... an ambush where we don't all die horribly." Walks up to the suits and starts looking them over. "She might be able to come to you...now where's the open button..."

Xylvarenn offers a friendly smile to seb
"I wish we knew more of our opponent, he seems to know all there is to know about us and we so little, a major disadvantage..." "On the topic of our own weapons used against us, how do we know he telekentetically do not arm our grenades and such while in our troops pockets?"
She looks a bit more concerned and focuses once more on her tests, having more new theories to play with

Decia stepped forward already locked into her armor and swung each arm and took as few steps, after the first few she seemed at ease within it. She took to the feel of the armor with almost ridiculous ease and even managed to retain a sense of grace as she moved forward and tried out her 'sword' and shield stances. She looked over to Seb...
"Please suit up Sebetheran...we've a lot to get prepared for." She nodded to Scrappy who was already replicating the parts she was to add to the armored frames at their requests. "The weight is less than expected Ensign.'
Scrappy only smirked at her and how simple her using the suit appeared to be.
Decia looked over to Seb and Therese. "I believe that every little bit will help. However each effort must augment the other...no one thing is going to defeat our enemy..."
"unitatem efficit potentiam" She said almost to herself as she powered up her suits weapons to begin running their tests.
