*She notices a device bolted to the wall.*
Ha.
*She climbs on top of the waste disposal unit and prices the device off its mount.*
Looks like an imaging scanner. Karen walked right into a trap. Whoever attacked her beamed off with her.
*2 hours earlier. As Karen charges Karen 2, Karen 2 braces and slides back as Karen tries to spear her down, before pummelling Karen in the back, Karen backing off and throwing a middle kick, hitting Karen 2 in the face as she gets up.
Karen 2 picks herself up as Karen circles, guard down and muscles tense.*
Karen *angry*: Get up!
*Karen 2 snarls and rams a fist into Karen's face, Karen responding by grabbing Karen 2's collar and throwing her into the fence. Karen 2 grabs the links and kicks Karen in the face before rushing forward and tossing her into the gate hard, nailing Karen in the face with a downward hook on the rebound, splattering a little blood on her jacket.
Karen 2 now proceeds to circle Karen, wiping a little blood from her mouth.*
Karen 2 *angry*: Come on, clone, get up! I said get up!
*Karen gets up, growling as she takes off her jacket and throws it at Karen 2. As Karen 2 whacks it away with her arm, she takes a fierce combo of punches from Karen, replying with kicks and knees to Karen's lower body and abdomen as they move towards the waste disposal unit against the wall. As Karen 2 gets forced against it, she catches a punch and throws Karen face-first into the casing, denting it and leaving a small smear of blood before hitting Karen in the lower back with a mid-kick as she bounces off, forcing her back against it.
Karen groans as she tries to steady herself on her feet, holding the unit. She can barely keep her eyes open for the pain as her head rings. She swings a punch at Karen 2 with what strength she can still muster, Karen 2 grabbing her wrist, twisting back-to-back and pulling the arm down across their shoulders, Karen crying in pain. Karen 2 finally turns to face Karen and kicks her knee out, forcing Karen to her knees, before pushing her onto her back and pinning her with a foot on her chest, both of them panting (with Karen virtually unconscious).*

Tara B: Alright. Lets give it a shot then. *its takes about half an hour for Len to get the mobile emitters made then she gives them to the Taras*
Tara B: *now hiding in front of the base* Ready?
*They hear shouting from the middle of the warehouse. Karen is chained to a support column.*
Karen 2 *angry*: I just want what's mine! Give me back my life! Tell them you're the clone!
Karen *teasing*: What burns you more, b****? That no matter what you say, I'm the real Karen; or that I found someone who loves me while you're just a cheap knockoff nobody cares--?
*Karen 2 punches her across the face in hatred.*
Karen 2 *angry*: SHUT UP!
*She looks ready to attack again.*
Christie: Wow... They hate each other...
Serah: Ready when you are to take her down...

*Tara B turns on her disguise. She looks like one of the pirates complete with the mandibles around her beak*
Tara B: How do I look?
*Tara A turns on her holoemitter too.*
Tara A: Terrible. *Smiles as they enter the base.
Mari.*
Christie: You take her, I'll get Karen.
Karen: Yeah, real big when I can't fight back, aren't you b****? If I weren't tied up--
*Karen 2 grabs her wrists, released the binders restraining her and throws her to the side.*
Karen 2 *hatred*: You know what? Let's go!
*Karen smiles a little, before roaring out and lunging at Karen 2 as the two start brawling.*
Christie: Nevermind.
*Christie starts running over.*
*Once inside the base the pirates don't pay much attention to them with several walking around the place some carrying objects others seemingly wandering around. after a few hallways they arrive in a large room filled with consoles almost like a command center. In the middle of the room there's a giant hologram of the planet with various things highlighted on it seeming to be other pirate installations. several pirates are interracting with the consoles and talking with each other while a much larger one about 1.5 times the height of the others overlooks them from a balcony. the big one appears to be interacting with a smaller hologram of the planet.*
Serah: Can we sneak in? I'd rather not barge in and chance getting shot at.
***
Tara B: Do you have any other ideas?
Christie: There should be a couple of ways in.
*Fazon.*
Tara A: Not really. My last idea got you shot.
Serah: Alright. *she finds another way in that's more discreet for them to use.*

*Serah does the same and tries to pry them apart*
*Christie holds Karen 2 back as Serah holds Karen back.*
Karen *angry*: Let go! I'm gonna beat the **** outta her!
*Fazon. Tara A makes a quick pass of the consoles to let her tricorder scan the language for translation.*
*It takes a while for it to lock onto the language but it gets there. The consoles may be a little difficult to use even with translations as they appear to be designed for longer fingers but it's manageable.*

Mari. Karen starts to calm down, but Karen 2 starts to overpower Christie. Christie responds by punching her back, getting into a stance as Karen 2 recovers.*
Christie: Don't even...
Karen 2: This is none of your business! This is between me and that cloned piece of trash!
*The data states the mist is passively created by the Fazon crater it is harmful to everything proving to be poisonous to all lifeforms save one that appears to nest in the caverns at the bottom of the crater. Fazon enhanced lifeforms such as the Elite and the Omega are able to resist the mist and a Synthetic was able to upgrade himself to resist it. An ancient race built a temple down there that no one has been able to properly scan as the lifeforms nest is too close for the pirates to get through although it's believe the synthetic was able to visit it. There are no details on what Fazon enhanced means but there's a pirate research facility in the tundra where the Omega resides.*
Tara B: Great so more evidence of genetic engineering. I'm starting to think they don't call this planet Fazon.

I'm going to go back up to that walkway. If I can scan that mist and figure out its properties, the Nautilus might be able to develop a way to protect against it.
Comments
OOC: Their grandmother would be Tara Tri'an, not Melani - Melani was Samana's best friend.
*Christie tries to break free as the guard picks herself up, wiping some blood from her mouth.*
Guard: You mean the same granddaughters whose mother sold out the entire cartel to save her own skin like a snivelling coward?
*OOC: Now, the last time someone called Samana a coward, it ended with Serah trying to beat the living snot out of Zoe.*
*Fazon. Tara A sits down and tries to think up a way of sneaking in.*

OoC: Sorry I got them confused.
Serah: Choose your next words very carefully... *her eyes flash red not just with anger but anger enhanced by the forge that she's been suppressing* My mother did what she did so that she could stay with my other mother. *she's trying to hold herself back*

Tara B: Hmm... Maybe we could make a holographic disguise?
Len: I think we could make a couple of mobile emitters for you but they wouldn't last forever.
Tara B: With that and a little trickery I think we could walk in the front door.
Krol: Sira...
*The guard looks at him.*
Let them through.
*Christie glares at Sira with a kind of hatred before the two walk up to Krol.*
I don't get many visitors. Poor girl's been bored out of her skull for weeks.
*Christie hands him the imaging scanner.*
Christie: Whoever bought this from you has kidnapped our friend.
Krol: I sold one of these to a human girl a few days ago. She said she had a score to settle with someone. I didn't ask what. *He describes Karen 2.*
*Fazon.*
Tara A: And then get mowed down again once we get deeper inside and the disguises fail...

Tara B: Well maybe we can find something to hide in? If they fail and we get seen we could port out again but maybe we can stay hidden long enough to find out what we need.
Christie: Where is she?
Krol: I can't tell you that. It's bad for business.
Christie: Pleeeaase? *She tries using her pheromones on him.*
Krol: She...asked for the pad to be delivered to an old warehouse near the east frontier.
Christie: Thank you.
*As they leave, Christie and Sira glare at each other. 30 minutes later, they're near the warehouse.*
How do you want to go about this?
*Fazon.*

Asher is walking around relaxing himself before the mission will begin.
He runs his hand through his short fur on his head.
