Phyla pushes the glass in front of Aura again. "On Knowhere, if you're old enough to hold the glass, you can drink. So drink." As she downs another glass.
Drax chimes in. "Knowhere's been here for a while - though D'ast knows I don't want to run into whatever can decapitate a giant Celestial." as he drinks his beer.
Jack shrugs. "I guess Starlord likes to have an HQ with a little character - I mean, it's no Avengers Mansion or a building with a giant '4' on the side, but it'll do."
Gamora leads Creed to a room filled with swords, axes, and other sharp melee weapons. "I was on earth a few years back, and I've heard of your reputation - a cold, calculating, ruthless killing machine." She takes a sword off the wall. "I'm looking for a warm-up before we go into battle, and my favorite Richard-human is not available, so you'll have to do." she smiles as she gets into a fighting stance. "Do you feel like a workout?"
Gambit sees several containers with a radiation symbol on them, as the Raccoon replies. "We take out the Magus and the rest of the Church, we give the universe or one of the high muckety-mucks like Quasar or the Celestials a crack at cleaning up the rest of the mess. We think that'll be enough to fix things."

Creed grinned slightly, just enough to bare the tips of his fangs. " So if you wanted to dance, why didn't you just say so sooner?" He knew Blink wouldn't be impressed, but she was preoccupied. He removed his already ruined shirt and let his claws extend while slowly circling to his left, still bearing the grin.

Tally is unsure what to do at this point. She is not sure what her body will do to the drink as she does not eat or drink normally as it is. She just figured that it was because she was constructed for space. Never tasting alcohol and seeing how Phyla does it, she just bottoms up the drink completely!
(OOC - She has experimental requires energy for nourishment so up to you how she reacts.)

X-23 follows everyone to wear they are drinking and listens to all the conversations around her, Well at least Aura is trying to make new friend Xaiver would says its a positive sign in her development but in the mean time " Drax is it, would you mind handing me what you might classify as a beer" X-23 try to come across as social

Drax hands X-23 a beer as Aura has a drink with Phyla....
SOME TIME LATER....
Both the Guardians and the Exiles are now gathered in the central nexus chamber (Where the teleport facility is). Aura is nursing an awful headache (Alcohol doesn't suit you, it appears), while the rest of the team is armed and ready to go.

Everyone was already gathered when Creed came in. Despite his clothes being ruined ( his pants now had a couple of new holes and bloodstains on them), he actually had a grin on his face that seemed out of place. " Sorry I'm late. Did I miss anything, kiddo?" He looked at Blink, but caught a glimpse of his reflection and wiped a green smudge from his cheek with his shirt tail.

"OOOOhhhhhh. God my head hurts. Is this what happens to all you adults when you consume that. Why would anyone want to subject themselves to it."
She sits in a chair if not sits in the air trying her best to focus on those around not sure if she should be getting anything for herself or if she is ready.

Starlord, his helmet's faceplate retracted, looks over the group, and makes a low whistle. "Huh - it almost looks like we've got the odds on our side for a change."
Mantis cooly replies. "Even based on the current projections, the odds of our survival in this encounter are thirty-five-thousand, seven-hundred and-"
"Never tell me the odds." Starlord responds, then blinks and smirks. "Did I just-?"
"Yeah, you did boss." Jack smiles broadly and then puts on his own face mask.
"Terrans. You make useless jokes when it should be better spent fighting." Gamora sighs as she sharpens her blade.
Bug raises his hand. "What's the >tik< plan?"
A holo image of the Fault appears, as dozens of cathedral like ships fly about it. Starlord points at the largest one. "There's our target - according to Groot and Thanos, we've got a way to get in, and Thanos tells me he's got a way of dealing with the other templeships so we can focus on the big target. We'll be splitting into teams to maximize our effect. Demolitions team is Rocket Raccoon and Gambit, with Blink and Groot providing support and transit to get you from location to location at fastest speed."
"I AM GROOT!" Groot bellows.
"That's telling'em your Majesty." Rocky smiles as he hands off some of his weapons and explosives for the giant tree to carry.
Starlord continues. "We're going to put the rest of our heavyweights into the main worship chamber to keep the Magus' personal guard busy. Drax-"
"-stab them. Got it." Drax smiles as he spins and holsters his knives.
Starlord lets out a breath. "On second thought, I'm going to put Mantis in charge of your group. Sabretooth, Major Victory, Bug, Jack, Gamora, X-23, you're with them."
Gamora protests. "What? I know Adam best and longer than any of you! I can-"
Starlord gives Gamora a dark look. "You can what? Freeze up? Forget what's at stake? I'm sorry Gamora, but the fact that you're still refering to him as 'Adam' tells me I'm making the right call."
Gamora growls. "D'ast you, Quill."
Starlord shrugs. "We both know you I'm not your type. And the rest of you - that means Phyla, Tally, Cal, Thanos and Moondragon are with me. We're going directly to the Magus himself - and make no mistake, we are taking him out by any means necessary."
Phyla holds up her sword. "I'm perfectly ok with that."
Starlord looks at Thanos. "So, your diversion to keep the rest of the fleet busy?"
Thanos smiles. "My counterpart and I used the exact same command codes and frequencies. You should be seeing right about....now."
On the screen, one of the smaller templeships is shown exploding - the holo image expands and pans to a gigantic mobile space gun - the barrel of which must be at least ten miles in length.
Rocket Raccoon whistles. "Now THAT is a D'ast big gun!"
"The D-666. From back in my mispent youth when I believed the universe could be destroyed through force of arms. But we all make mistakes when we are in our second or third century, no?"
Starlord simply lowers his faceplate. "Riiiiiight. Alright everyone, get to the passport transport pads. And Good luck, because we're all gonna need it."

"Right, Remind me to skin 'Tabby' alive when we get back to the palace. And, Thanos, I really need to have Hank take a look at your toybox when we get back..." Blink looked at the weapon and whistled.
"Okay Exiles..lets try and all survive for once. No need to remind you whats at stake so let's stay focused and get the job done.." the Mutant spoke with as much a neutral tone as she could muster. Just like the Magster and Silver Samurai...Never be indecisive.

Creed's somewhat goofy frin held as he turned to X-23," Sounds like the right gig for us, slash everyone in sight." He turned his attention to Blink," Clarice, you be careful." He warned. He rarely called her by her given name, so it indicated how serious he was despite there being something odd about him.

Gambit was still working with the scarily-symboled devices while the others got ready with their speaches. He preferred Wolverine's speaches over the more goody-goody drill sargeant stuff.
He looked suspiciously over at the king Groot fellow, wondering how he was going to know if Groot saw trouble...

"I am good to go whenever and wherever everyone else is. I just wish this headache would go away." Tally says still rubbing her head as she goes.

"I will" Blink answered solomnly. There was a hope the teams could stay more intact,but that seemed unlikely. Her understanding that Thanos needed a baby sitter made sense, too. It was not job she liked..
Unlike Creed, Thanos was more or less a chosen evil or at best out for his own survival. Given that she trusted he would do what would allow the universe to survive. The only big concern was a quiet warning in her mind that he may try and take over a timeline. It seemed unlikely..
"What better way to face death?" the mutant smirked, "Now let's get moving...We have some ass to kick..."

"Yes Creed it does seem to suit us, Just do not stab me in the back" X-23 smiles "Or you will not see Blink again"
