The Awakening (Free-Roaming, R)

[Orgun]

This is R because it might become quite violent at points, another point to all is this is my first rp ever so bare with me on this, and finally to anyone who wants a ship, you may have one but it is not to be uber and you will have to have inspections done by the other races throughout the game, oh yeah weapons are also to be kept to reasonable levels no phaser set to level billion so it kills planets with one shot. ??
Anyway onto the rp, I hope it lives for quite some time.

The Beginning

Space, in the entire time it had existed it had changed yet remained the same, the one thing that never changed was the cold emptiness it gave all.
That same cold stillness was suddenly ripped apart as a vast section of metal once a massive ship erupted from hyperspace, it began to slowly spin out of control inwards of a small system.
Eventually it reached the atmosphere of a small desolate world and began its fiery decent to the surface, the sparse wildlife scattered as the massive bulk streaked across the sky.
It impacted the largest continent with the force of several nuclear weapons, everything within reach died in the fire. For hours the remains sat there, steaming in its crater until a small white form began to emerge from a hole torn in its side, the small form began to make its way up the side of the crater stumbling here and there until it reached the top of the crater it looked around with its ruby red eyes. The dust that had been kicked up by the impact began its decent now and the white figure squinted to keep the dust from its eyes, it took a few more steps before falling to its knees, whatever strength it had to keep it alive in the wreckage had fled now.
It reached up towards the heavens and in a weak voice called out: ?Please?.help?me??.

??????????????????????????????

He awoke with a start looking round quickly spotting the comm. button flashing an angry red, he stared at it for a few more moments but before realizing it was someone trying to talk to him, he leant over and flicked it on, he was thanked with a barrage of insults and demands. ?Who ever in the seven hells is flying that coffin better answer now or this stations guns get to use you as target practice!?
He rolled his eyes ?This is Orgun of the hammer class corvette Exodus, I read you? he yawned and stretched while he waited for whoever was on the other end to reply. It didn?t take long.
?You dumb creature next time answer as soon as you enter OUR space or you?ll end up like the rest of your military!? he grimaced at the others tone, yeah so they lost the war against the humans most of them just tried to make a living now, but that was hard seeing as how humans controlled pretty much all the important trade worlds, and lorded over them.
He sighed and replied again ?My apologies, my trip was long but now I request permission to land on the planet for cargo pickup?, a few moments later ?Permission is granted for the moment, your in port 12C, stay on course or you will be shot down. Flight control out.?
The speakers went dead and he was left to his own thoughts again, with a few taps to the helm his vessel altered its course towards the planet known as Tellon, a major port in this sector and now the proud property of the Imperium of Man. Already the structure of a star fort was taking shape in orbit surrounded by a mass of defense platforms and protected by a Dauntless class light cruiser, if they decided to kill him now his old mark 1 Hammer class corvette wouldn?t last long.
In the old days a dozen other corvettes and a couple of assault frigates would have escorted him but they were the old days, long gone now. With a sigh he shook his head to clear them of those useless memories and sat back in the chair as he entered the atmosphere.

[Edited- Added physical description to second paragraph]

Several minutes later a large transport entered the system.
"Transport Vessel, please identify yourself."
Soban sat in the "Economy" section of the ship and listened to the coms traffic with a listener discretly pressed up against one ear. This section of the ship was cramped and uncomftorable but even the porrest man could get from planet to planet in these things. Not to mention there was almost no security checks when boarding in this class. Which worked for him considering he was carrying a few illegal items on his person including the listener. He pulled an account ledger out of a pocket and opened it up. "Damn, only 87 credits left. I'm going to need all of that just to prime the reactor." He put the little booklet away, it was a very archaic method of checking one's funds but he didn't want to risk the signal being traced to his account information. "Passengers please return to your seats we are begining out decent. We will be moored in five minutes."

***

Soban looked back and forth, visualy scaning the croud as he walked out of an exit terminal. On his back was a small pack which contained most of his personal items and a few peices of equipment. His Body was covered in a slick, short grey fir with several visable lighter markings and a long red one running back from the top of his head. He wore a flight vest over a plain black t-shirt and a pair of loose fitting jean shorts that reached down to the first joint in his leg; no shoes, he trusted the thickness of his feet to handle this domestic setting. Once he was satisfied no one was going to start folowing him he headed toward the bulding's exit with the local hanger in mind.

[Orgun]

A note to all, if you could please try to make your posts more then five lines long, no short instant flings here, I would like some detail to this. Thanks.

A few short minutes and his corvette entered the atmosphere, this is where he had to be more alert, civilian traffic was a nightmare here. He didn't want to be brought down on charges of careless piloting even if it was the other guys fault. A few quick looks and he spotted a line of grav vehicles making they're way across the horizon in the exact direction he needed to go, with a smile he edged his way in, it was pretty simple as most people wanted to avoid getting hit by a corvette.
Half an hour later and out of the insane traffic, he saw his designated landing spot, a large round pad sitting in the middle of the slums, "Perfect" he said to himself, here no one would bother him except maybe the local youths. If they did though he'd merely brandish his pulse rifle, no one liked being on the wrong end.
He placed his hand on the manual flight control to help steady his ship more, and reached over to another control to extend the landing gear.
He winced as a sound of screeching metal echoed around the craft, ?that definitely means the landing gear needs new parts? he said, steadily the craft landed with a quiet thump, steam and other coolant gases began to be vented every so often. He flicked a few switches and the vessel shut down save for a few systems that were needed, mainly power for the doors and the shield generator, always a good thing to have on standby.
As he made his way along the tight corridor he made mental notes to check over a few loose wires and bulkheads that had dropped off. It was shocking to see how badly a ship suffered when nearly all docks designed to repair this craft were gone, all thanks to humanity and its supposed destiny of greatness. He stopped at a larger room, once it had been where torpedoes had been kept but now all it was used for was cargo, he stepped to the side and punched a consol then stepped back, the floor below him began to slowly descend, with a clank it stopped and he stepped off.
Looking around he noticed the place hadn?t changed much since his last visit, not surprising really, the place was originally a dumping ground. With a sigh and a shrug he began to make his way to his next job.
It took him a few minutes to get to the old storage bay, not even bothering to knock he walked in and up to a desk. He looked over it taking in all the strewn papers and documents, the guy was definitely feeling the pressure from the Imps. With a deep breath he shouted across the large area ?Hey! Jacob you here! I?m here for this ?parcel? of yours!? he perked his ears listening for anything, for a moment nothing then the familiar cursing and complaining that always accompanied Jacob began to echo around the place.
He smiled to himself, Jacob never changed even if he was a human, the guy had taken a hit awhile back for him and that was something he was trying to repay.
He turned as Jacob came round the corner limping, ?Hey Jacob, long time no see? he smiled as he spoke.
?Ah shove it, large arse, follow me? he grumbled as he went past.
They both made they?re way to the back in silence, until they stopped by a large container, he leaned over it. ?What is it??
?It?s a cryo-tube numbnuts, didn?t you ever get taught anything back in school?? Jacob replied irritably.
?Not about this stuff?? he shrugged,
?Well whatever, your job is to transport this to some colony thing base or whatever the hell it is! They were rather vague about it, and before you ask what?s in it, I don?t know either, but if you wanna open it on your ship, be my guest not my problem if you get ripped apart by whatever?s inside!? Jacob shouted quickly.
?Ok then, just give me the co-ordinates and I?ll get it there, and by the way can I borrow your grav-lift?? he smiled sheepishly.
Jacob threw the dusty pad containing the details to him and then shouted as he left ?You better bring back that grav-lift and this time not in bits!!?
He ran back quickly ramming the grav-lift under the cryo-tube and turning dragging the thing out, as he left he could swear that he heard Jacob muttering under his breath about him being careful.
As he made his way to his ship, the cryo-tube flashed a few icons before fading, he raised an eye ridge looking at it, ?What the hell was that?? said to himself, he shrugged there was time to look it over when it got off the planet, this wasn?t the best place to look now.
Eventually he made his way back to the ship with only a few insults thrown at him, not to bad considering what he was, with a single word of ?Up!? he and the cargo were raised into the ship.
As he set the cryo-tube in place and secured it the comms link flared into life, ?Exodus, this is flight control you are grounded until further notice!? the voice seemed pleased, he quickly walked over to the comm., ?But I have cargo to deliver and why am I grounded for that matter!? he practically screamed down the comm. ?Mind your tongue with me vermin! And for your information a large flotilla of civilian vessels has just entered the system so you?ll have to bloody wait! A quick crackled meant the comm. link had been severed.
He clenched and unclenched his fists a few times trying to keep his anger at bay, with one kick to the cryo-tube he stormed off dragging the grav-lift back to Jacob.

[mew2cool]

~a knock? is someone there? where am i?~

a yellow snake-like iris slowly lighted up. it moved left, right, up down. yes, it was completely dark. what was this small closed space? why was it so cold?

~i want to get out. this isn't a nice place to be. push the top off. my arms are weak. push!~

a small creack. faint light entered the coffin-like space through the cold steam that escaped from the crack. An ice-blue eye peeked out. it quickly narrowed to a thin line, still being used to the darkness, then slowly adjusted.

~what is this place and why am i here?~

with a new push, the top of the tube gave up and opened with a loud screeching sound. a dark blue arm reached over the edge and soon another followed. a female figure slowly rose up from the steam, coughed a few times and looked around the room. then she sat up on the edge of the open tube, holding her head in her hands. "Man, what a hangover...."

The dark blue female yawned, baring her metallic teeth, licking around them with her black tongue, stretched and scratched the back of her head.

~I hate these things...they're so uncomfy. And where's my armor, i can't go around in just shorts. Better take a look around~

She stood up, covering her chest with her arms and started to examine the room.

[ShadowedFigure]

The paths got worse and worse as he went further into the outskirts of the city. Currently he was walking down an old style street which looke like it haden't seen service since the planet's early post-industrial age. There were few people out, most ignored him but one or two eyed him with suspicion and contempt. "That's right, I'm evil. Now go on with your day." He thought to himself, he had a bitter resentment for these people. "They never gives us a break do they." After some walking he came in to a familer open place where a couple old landing pads were, but today they weren't empty. Soban stopped, "What's this now?" He examined the ship from his standing point. "Hmmm... Corvette, Hammer class. Haven't seen one of those in a long time." He surveyed the area, seeing no people he moved towards the ship. Pulling a dicrete camera from one of his pockets he snaped a few pictures of the ship then moved closser and got the registration. "The Exodus huh? Not a bad name." He quicly looked arround for people again then walked arround the ship and nodded. He reached into another of his pockets and pulled a small device out and placed it inside the landing gear where he knew it wouldn't be destroyed or seen. Satisfied, he hurried of to his destination, a low profile hanger where his ship was stored, a few minutes away.

***

Soban walked into an old run down bar, the room was crouded with locals at this time and reeked of smoke and grime. He spotted the man he was looking for and called over to him, the man quickly moved over to him. Tevleck was huge human man at a little over 2 meters tall and very well built, although his belly hung out a bit.
"Soban! You here for your ship?" He spoke in his heavy russian accent.
"Yeah, I need you to pull her down and fuel her up. I'll pay you fifteen extra credits if you do it in five minutes."
"Ah in a rush today? I'll have it down and ready sa fast as possable. You want anything to go?"
"Yeah, get me a shot of reactor and a doughnut."
Tev nodded and hurried off to shout some orders into the hanger area. Soban sat down and waited for his ship to be preped. "Well, this could be an interesting trip."

[Orgun]

Apologies for this being a tad short, Im very tired as I write this, so again sorry.

It didn?t take long for him to arrive back at his ship, he had dumped the grav-lift in the front part of the warehouse and stormed off with Jacob shouting something about that being life. He didn?t care right now, all he wanted to do was get the job over with, with a deep breath he said ?Up!? and was lifted into his cargo hold. It took him only a few seconds to see the open cryo-tube and for him to swing his Pulse Rifle up into a firing position. He spun quickly taking in everything, his training coming into play once more, he stopped abruptly as he saw the large nearly naked female standing there. ?Damn?? was the only thing he could say.

[mew2cool]

As soon as the femme noticed the gun pointed at her, she crouched and dove behind the open cryotube, kicking off the wall next to her.

~shit, just my luck. to wake up from hypersleep in the wrong place, just to be get a gun pointed at me by some weekend warrior while i'm still unarmed and in a weakened state.~

"hold your fire, i'm unarmed!"

She wasn't sure what he was up to, so she remained ready to fight if it came to that, waiting for his next move.

[Orgun]

He took a step back to give him some more space between him and her, whoever she was. He crouched himself and brought a hand to his waist clicking a button on the belt he wore several small orbs dropped into his hand. He took a breath and called to her,
?I take it you?re my cargo? Perhaps its best if you climb back into the cryo-tube, save everyone a lot of trouble. I have little patience at this moment in time so I would really like to solve this problem quickly!? just as he finished the comm. link flared into life. ?Exodus! You have clearance to leave but I suggest you go within the next 15 minutes, several of the gunners have itchy trigger fingers today.?
A burst of laughter was heard before the comm. died once again. He grumbled to himself ?Perfect, this day just keeps getting better and better??

[ShadowedFigure]

Soban sat in the cockpit of his ship. It was an outdated, oversized fighter chasis. It was never intended for stand-alone takeoff but one of his more recent upgrades, a repulsor array, took care of that rather efficiently; the ship could be quite well handled using the repulsers only, as long as there was sufficent atmosphere or other solid matter nearby. The ship hovered several feet above the ground, the four stabilizer fins were in the back possition to accomodate the limited space. Asside from the aggressive look of the design it look like any other personal spacecraft. Soban took a bite out of his doughnut and began switching off several systems that kept the vehicle legal; NavSat, Active Comms, Transponder. Everything that used power or could otherwise be used to detect the ship, even the reactor was set to run low to lower emmitions.
He taxied the ship out of the hanger and moved into an open area nearby, he had to be ready to follow, otherwise his qarry would get to far away for him to pick up the tracker's signal. Soban sat back and took another bite from his dougnut, watching the only blip on his HUD. "Shouldn't be long now."

[mew2cool]

"the tube had a system failure, that's why i'm here. i'm NOT going back into that coffin" was the answer.

"is it ok to come out or are you going to do this the hard way?"

She was starting to get annoyed at the fact that she was lying helpless behind the broken cryotube, wearing only a pair of worn out camo shorts and not knowing if she'd get shot at if she tried to move.

after hearing the comm, a frustrated comment came from her hiding place:
"aw shit, what did you get me involved into?"

[Orgun]

He looked around for a moment thinking, then quickly stood up, dropping the little orbs back into his belt and lowering his rifle.
?Fine, you can come out but any sudden moves and I put a hole through you regardless of my job? he said then began to walk towards the bridge of the small vessel, as he neared the door he stopped and smiled ?My dear I haven?t gotten you into anything, this is the norm for everybody.?
He continued to the bridge and sat down in the command chair, once comfortable he began to power the ship up, of course he put the internal sensors on first to keep an eye on his ?guest?. After this he went through all the usual preflight preps, the ship began to gentle rumble as more power began to be shunted to engines and structural integrity, he flicked a switch for the internal comm., ?I suggest you hold onto something, things may get a little bumpy when we take off?. He smiled to himself, hoping she would knock her self out and he could just dump her off at the base he was going to.
With a roar the Exodus left the landing pad and shot away into the sky, civilian traffic parting to let him through, more out of fear then kindness.

[ShadowedFigure]

Soban jerked forward as he saw the red indicator move up and into the atmosphere. He quickly flipped a few switches setting the display mode to an escape pattern and turning on his passive targeting system, another illegal item he'd recently installed. All the air traffic was instantly colored red and the tracker blip turned blue. He cranked the reactor back up to full and hit the grav lift. The ship shot straight up, angled accordingly, then the main engine fired. Soban was pushed back into his seat for a few seconds as the inertial dampeners attempted to compensate for the G-forces being created by the acceleration. Quickly he shot a hand over and flipped a switch to activate his fake transponder, salvaged off a similar ship that was no longer in existence.

As his ship moved upwards he deftly maneuvered his ship through the many layers of dense city traffic. If he was lucky the dense city traffic would mask his small ship from radar and by the time he cleared low orbit his absence from the navigation network system should keep him looking like another piece of space junk. Minutes later he pulled out of the atmosphere and reduced the reactors output to go unnoticed as he followed the corvette into space. Soban turned to his tactical system and punched a few buttons; a diagram graphed itself out, he confirmed the calculation and the engine burned for a few seconds, the ship also reoriented itself and began an intercept course for the corvette. At this rate he would intercept one minute before they reached the regulation jump distance. Soban turned to another screen displaying a diagram of the ship and the system statuses, he pressed a button on that screen and the fins, on the rear of the ship, deployed outwards. A long narrow hatch, one at the base of each fin, opened deploying four limited radius railguns. He reduced the reactor power even more and killed the transponder. Now all he had to do was approach to a position where he could intimidate the pilot. If it goes the way he plans, he will have a clear shot through the bridge of the ship before he could be picked up on scanners.

[Orgun]

As he left the atmosphere of Tellon he noticed a number of large cargo haulers were slowly moving into position to begin drops, now if he went the usual way he?d end up taking ages to get to a designated area to jump, but if he went through the mess that was beginning to appear then he?d be out of the system in the frame of 5 minutes. He smiled and shrugged ?Might as well nothing else to do? this might also help if the Imps started to shoot at him.
With a tap to the controls the ship turned slightly and headed towards the vast cargo ships, with a grace that didn?t seem possible the Exodus easily moved between the hulls of two cargo haulers. Narrowly missing a comms spire the Exodus shot up and over the bridge of another, the comms began to flash indicating a transmission from the cargo ships. He leaned over and switched it off, he didn?t need to hear the verbal abuse right now, with a casual glance to the sensors he noticed a fuzzy object on the edge of his sensor range, a ship, small one too. He frowned somewhat at the image and data being brought up but shook it off, he was being paranoid again, and no one here would dare try to start a fight, not with a star fort looming next door. With a sigh he relaxed somewhat and let the flight AI to take control slightly, only a few short minutes and he?d be out of here.

[mew2cool]

the dark blue female stood up from her hiding place and raised her eyebrow as he left the room. "my dear?"

she looked around the cryo tube and found what she was looking for. a small round opening, covered with a rubber plug. She pulled the plug off and put her thumb inside. a green light lit up above the opening, and the bottom compartment of the cube opened, along with the slide-open compartment on the backside. She stood up and picked up the heavy carapace armor from the compartment, grinning. "That's what i'm talking about." She lifted the silvery white armor over her head, and lowered it in place, closing the locks on the sides of it. Then she crouched and pulled out a modified silenced Gauss pistol, checking the clip and attaching the holster onto her left thigh, and a massively large trithium sword. it was black, wide-bladed and almost as tall as she was, with a hole in the middle. "oh how i missed you..." She docked the sword to the back of the armor from the hole, specifically designed for it. all of the equipment were custom made and very hard to get unless you knew the right individuals. "NOW come and point a gun at me, smartass." saying so, she headed the way she saw him go.

[Orgun]

He smiled and shook his head as he watched his ?guest? talk to herself and gather weapons from the cryo-tube, he was somewhat surprised at that but he quickly shook it off, but the dressing was interesting to watch as well. He took a few quick checks to make sure everything was ok with the flight path before tapping the internal comms and the security console, the door in front of her quickly slammed shut as well as the door to the bridge,
?Now my dear, I can?t let you be walking round my ship with weapons, so I suggest you put them back or to the side in one of the cargo containers, unless of course you?d like to become another piece of trash floating in space? Also don?t bother trying to cut your way through the door, even if you do the area your in will have decompressed by then, so its your choice. Oh yes one more thing, nice set you have?. He cut the comm. snickering and watched her reaction.

[mew2cool]

She took a swift step back as the door closed and listened him talk. "WHAT!?" she shouted, blushing as she heard the comment about her "set" and punched a large dent on the wall next to the door.

she knew she could slice the door in half with a single strike, but she decided to play along for now, since she didn't know what kind of security systems the ship had, and put her weapons back to the container, closing it. nobody aside her could get them from there.

[ShadowedFigure]

Soban's ship rapidly approched the Exodus, justbefore he entered the estimated sensor threshhold he punched the ventral thrusters , pushing his ship higher over the Exodus's dorsal side. The rail capasitors were charged, in case things got ugly, and he was moments from his desired angle. He took a breath, "This is it." Soban hit the comm. "This is the Runner to Exodus, power down or I will put a hole through your bridge."

[Orgun]

He was somewhat surprised but more annoyed really, surprised that some idiot would try this in a shipping area and annoyed that the idiot in question was threatening him.
He shrugged, he was not the kind of person to give into demands from pathetic thieves so didn?t bother to respond, he tapped a sequence of keys on the helm and within a second the Exodus shot backwards as a couple of small explosions erupted from the prow, he sighed and made a mental note to have the explosive charges replaced. They weren?t cheap but if you needed your ship to suddenly change direction without having to divert massive amounts of power quickly they were a lifesaver, they also had the added bonus of temporarily screwing up all sensors as the small amounts of flak flew out in all directions.
From his point of view the stars spun wildly as he swung the Exodus around, to a novice this would have been a deadly move but he was veteran he knew how to handle this ship.
A new set of keys had appeared on his helm indicating the AI had brought the two medium mass drivers online, and had already plotted a firing solution but he decided not to kill the fool, he had been a soldier and had seen far too much death already he would only take another?s life if no other option was left. For now he would run, the Exodus shot away at full speed trying to gain as much distance from his would be thief as well as the Dauntless light cruiser which had now taken an interest in the sudden event.
?Dammit this is turning into one of those crappy days! Whoever the hell you are Miss I suggest you get to the bridge and find a seat! We?ve run into a small problem!? he shouted down the comm. as he opened the doors again.

[mew2cool]

She was somewhat surprised at the sudden change of mind, but did as he told, and headed to the bridge, looking around to get a picture of what kind of ship this one was, and see if it had any internal defenses. "what's going on" she said, entering the bridge and sitting down on a seat and buckling up.

[Orgun]

He didn?t bother to turn round he merely continued to maneuver the Exodus through the shipping lanes avoiding the gunnery sights of both the attacker and the Dauntless light cruiser which was now in hot pursuit. ?Don?t think I?ve gone all nice on you, you?re my cargo, and I don?t get paid if my cargo is damaged, death is ok but broken bones or organ damage isn?t wanted. Also to answer your question we?re being run down by pretty much everybody with a gun, so just sit back and shut up!? he finished as the ship rocked violently, sparks began to erupt from a damaged console to the left of him, multiple warnings began to flash across the helm indicating that the rear shielding had collapsed from a lucky shot from the Dauntless. ?Perfect? he muttered.

[mew2cool]

she glared at him as an answer and mumbled something about manners and the seat being too small for her before crossing her arms and being quiet. she didn't want to die like this, but she knew she couldn't do anything about the situation so she decided to wait and see what happens. if the situation got too rough she could always steal a life pod and escape if the ship had those. a curse escaped her lips as she noticed the rear shields were gone.

[ShadowedFigure]

(Sry about the delay, got a little obsessded with playing my new games ^^; )
Soban quickly used the thrusters to push away from the explosive blasts and initiated a barral roll to reduce impact, the ship luched as it's rotation suddenly accelerated in the wrong direction. Soban glanced down at his staus screen, several peiced had been deflected but a lucky one managed to peirce one of the fins near the top, only superficial damage. He brought his ship about and swung wide arround the Exodus which was obviously well armed but he could still practicly run circles arround it. He took noticeof the light cruiser now shooting at the both of them. He fired several dozen rounds into the port-side sheild using a smaller gun. All of thenm were deflected. "Damn thing's tough." He suinted as a bright light poured over the Exodus' rear sheild for a moment. He grinned as he saw the rear sheild was down, "Conveniant." He let his ship fall back and fired a railgun through one of the exterior engien ports.

[Orgun]

(Np Shadow, my writing ability had somewhat left me while you were away but now its back so all is good)

The whole ship rocked violently from the impact to the engine, systems shorted out across the whole ship, emergency lighting came on and then nothing. He lifted himself out of his seat and walked around to a panel at the back of the bridge, not saying anything and looking completely calm, opening the panel he began to flick several switches, which in turn lit up a light green.
He let out a sigh before speaking, ?To answer any questions you have about what I?m doing would take too long, so I?ll be brief my people long ago created a drive system that didn?t use hyperspace as means of going from point a to point b, this ship is one of only a few that still has this ?fold? drive, I intend to use it one last time to get out of this system.? He turned and smiled ?it would also seem your far more valuable then I first thought, and seeing as we?re going to be possibly spending a lot of time together now, maybe you could fill me in?? he then went back to the console and pressed a single button, a warning claxon sounded once and then a dull hum began to sound slowly increasing in pitch. He dropped back down into his seat and stared out of the view port at the stars, he focused on something in the distance but it faded from view before he could make out what it was. He shrugged and closed his eyes ?Won?t be long?.

[mew2cool]

"shit! get us outta here while we still can!" she said, as the ship shook from the blasts. she hated large ships since they lacked in agility. they could be killed anytime if they landed a well-placed shot, now that the rear shield was gone.

She smirked at his question. "valuable? you don't intend to sell me, now do you? that wouldn't be....healthy for you. And about my intentions and mission, they're classified information." She stretched and put her hands behind her head, yawned and sat back, waiting what would happen next.

[ShadowedFigure]

Soban manuvered the runner arround the bow of the Exodus, as to avoid the incoming fire. Just then his sensor alarm sounded the presence of a spacial anomaly. "What?" He mumer to himself as he examined the particulars of the anomaly. It was originating from the Exodus, directly in front of him. Accoding to the readout, space was occilating arround the ship in an organized pattern. The occilation grew in amplitude but the envelope remaind constant so he remained at his distance to see what would happen. Unexpectedly, the envelope shot out, engulphing a sizeable area within less than a second. Soban reflxively hit the reverse thrusters and rotating the ship 180 degrees arround,pushing the throttle to the max. Whatever was happening, he didn't want to be in it when it did.

[Orgun]

The captain of the dauntless paced back and forth across the command deck, he stopped abruptly and stormed over to a crewman who was hunched over a screen. ?I want an update now!? he shouted down the ear of the unfortunate crewman, the crewman frantically brought up all information and then turned shaking to the captain ?S?sir, one of the target vessels has been disabled the other appears to be circling the?one moment?sir? the crewman went over the new information for several seconds before the captain again began to demand information,
?Well? What is it!??
?I can?t tell sir! The readings don?t match with anything we?ve encountered!?
?You better give me more then that you worthless piece of trash or you?ll suffer!? the captain said as he unfastened his holster. The fear was quite visible on the crewman?s face before his face went white with horror as he detected the advancing energy wave. ?Unknown energy approaching rapidly, Sir!?
The captain stood and screamed down the comm., ?Brace for impact!?

The Dauntless was enveloped by the wave along with the Exodus and the other craft, within a second 3 bright flashes were seen and the ships had disappeared.

??????????????????..

He sat there somewhat dumbfounded, that hadn?t gone to plan, only his ship was meant to jump not the other two as well. He sighed angrily and rubbed his temples ?Why me?? he said to no one in particular, he took a deep breath and calmed himself, taking in the available information he quickly discovered that they had jumped to an unknown system with only one planet that could barely sustain life. They could get there under minimal power within an hour perhaps, that was if the other two ships didn?t get up and running first, and seeing as how the day as going that wouldn?t be surprising if they did.
?Better get to work then? he muttered, tapping in a command the Exodus slowly rotated towards the planet and with a small burst from the remaining thrusters began the long journey to the planet. He got up and pulled out two small repair kits, chucking one to his guest and tucking the other into a pocket on his fatigues. ?Seeing as your sitting round doing nothing you can help repair this craft, go down the corridor and go over the cargo hold, check for any fractures or structural weaknesses, I?m going to be in engineering trying to get some more power to the thrusters, I want constant updates on your job, and please no funny stuff I?m not in the mood.? He disappeared down the corridor and left her in the dark.

[mew2cool]

"yeah yeah...you should be happy i CAN do those things.." she mumbled as she picked up the kit and headed to the cargo hold. there she heard a dripping sound, which she soon discovered to be caused by a coolant leak. ~oh great..~ "HEY, WE GOT A BROKEN COOLANT PIPE OVER HERE!" she shouted over her shoulder, dropping the repair kit, opening it and starting to look some means to fix it. she soon found some chemsteel paste and put it around the pipe. the paste hardened, and formed a solid mass around the pipe, stopping the leak. a drop of coolant gave her a frostburn on her arm as she was applying the paste, causing her to swear and wince though. ~I fucking HATE coolant leaks~ she thought, putting her hand over the burnmark. "done fixing it! I'm coming back!"

[Orgun]

He simply grunted in acknowledgement, fiddling with a few loose cables he slowly began to divert power to the thrusters, the damage was extensive to the ships engines, fi they landed there could be a chance he'd be stuck on the planet, still he shrugged least he had a reasonably attractive female to be stuck with. He looked over his shoulder and let his eyes adjust to the darkness to observe the female walking down, smirking he went back to work.

"Help...me"

He sat up bolt right, that had caught him up prepared but the question was who said it?
He called to the female " Did you say something?"


(Sry bout the delay in replying, I've been working and just been too tired to think of anything really good to put up, even this is a bit lame)

[mew2cool]

(sorry for the long delay, i was in the UK visiting the lovely ems but i'm back in action now ^^)

"naw. you hearing voices now? must have hit your head pretty bad" she replied to the question, chuckling as she walked to him, stretching her arms and shoulders. "so are you able to fix this heap o' junk or what?"

[ShadowedFigure]

Soban looked franticly at the displays and indicators "The hell!? It's all dead!" The runner floated there, dead, and in a slow spin. He released the restraints holding him in his seat and pulled a lever beside his seat releasing the back and allowing him to lean backwords and out of the seat. Sliding to the back of the compartment in the zero-g he oppened a panel giving hi access to the small ship's systems bay. The walls were lined with removable panels, several cables of various sizes running between. He reached back to release a clamp on the reactor sheilding then grabbed hold of a cable and yanked hard, nothing happened. "C'mon, start."

[Orgun]

?What ever? he growled to her, ? and yes I will be able too once we land, but the only problem that arises from that is the fact that we may very well drop out of the sky before we can land. Then depending on if that does happen we may not be able to get off the ground again? he gently reinserted a power cell back into the engine core and got up.
He tapped a few sequences into the core control panel and turned round walking past the female, he stopped just behind her ?What is your name, can?t be calling you woman or bitch all the time can I??.

???????????????????????.

The vast bulk of the Dauntless slowly spun in space, a few lights flickering but it was dead for the moment.
The bridge was chaos, sparking cables and consoles gave the only light to the bridge, crew ran round relaying orders that the captain screamed at them.
He sat there furious, his ship HIS ship had been disabled by that filthy alien weapon, now they were no longer in Imperial space alone and cut off from support. Oh he would have his revenge he would make certain of that, he eyed the small speck that spun round in the view port, that vessel would also pay he would ensure it would be the first ship to die when the dauntless?s weapons came back online. He sat there for a few moments before setting his attention back to the main task at hand, ?WHERE ARE MY WEAPONS!?

[mew2cool]

she glared at him and answered. "my name is Echo. (means nymph in greek btw XD; ) and you?" she followed him back to the bridge, sitting down. So what next. we going to land or get out of here?

[ShadowedFigure]

He pulled over over and over but the starter was being stubourn. Soban switched arms as his right arm was getting worn from the repeated pulling motion. "I knew I should have had the injector checked last month." He grumbled to himself. Just then the cord pulled much easyer then it had been, a whirring noise started up behind the bulkhead as the backup generator finaly came to life. Buttons, switches, and indicators started lighting up as the computer systems booted up again. Soban pushed himself out of the cramped access compartment and floated back to his seat. He flicked a screen on, the display showed a statisic of the main capaciters. According to the display he only had five minutes untill he could start the main generator.

[Orgun]

He looked at her for a few brief seconds before answering, "My name is....Orgun, don't make fun of it, nor ask why Im called that, I just am. To anwer your other question, we're going to land or should that be fall out of the sky?" he shrugged as he got comfortable. A few more minutes and then they'd be in hell.

(Another small response but Im kinda busy while posting)

[mew2cool]

(np, you can't exactly write a novel about a conversation anyway =) )

Echo closed her eyes, slapped her forehead lightly and sighed deep as a sign of disappointment. "i knew we'd crash..." she opened her eyes and looked him in the eyes, reaching her hand to him. her arm was strong and scarred, but feminine, the dark blue skin reflecting faintly the light from all the buttons on the cockpit. "well, nice to meet you Orgun..i guess."

[ShadowedFigure]

The cappaciters reached capacity and a button on the left side of the console lit yellow. Soban leaned overand gave it a hard push and held it there. A heavy whirring noise began rising in pitch for several seconds before fadding away to be replaced by the normal hum of the main reactor. Soban released the button and now gripped the flight controls. He brought his ship about to face the others. The larger ship was fine for the moment but the Exodus was heading into the atmosphere. He flipped the comms on, "Exodus, this is the Runner. Are you reciving?"

[Orgun]

He smiled weakly and shook her hand quickly, "Somehow I doubt you think its nice, besides we...." he was interrupted by the comm starting up spewing the question from the Runner. He sighed and flicked the comm to broadcasting, with a single word he responded sarcastically "No". Seconds later the front screens began to flicker with heat as the Exodus entered the outer atmosphere.

................................

The vast vessel began to vibrate slightly as its massive power plant began to spin up once more, slowly lights and consoles lit up and finally the Dauntless correted its spin and began to scan surrounding space before focusing on the runner.
On the bridge the Captain grinned evily, "Get me a firing solution".

[mew2cool]

Echo shook his hand with a strong, firm grip. then she noticed the screens and pulled out the seat harness. "buckle up and enjoy the bullet train to hell!"

[ShadowedFigure]

"Well it's good to see you have an undamaged wit. Do me a favor and if you haven't already, strap yourself to something. I'm gona try to-" a console started to beep at him. "What the?" He looked over at the display concerned and pressed a few buttons, several lines of output coame up indiating someone was using active scaners and seeing that the Exodus was sitll out cold... "Ah shit. Hold that thought for a sec, looks like our friends just woke up." Soban flicked thw comm channel. "Hostle ship you are to remain at neutral stance untill I can guide this rock down." He spun his ship and changed the channel again. The Runner deployed it's three prong magnetic landing assembly from the bottom and continued toward the Exodus. "Here's the deal, I'm going to latch to your ship and controll your decent. In return, assuming you survive, you'll provide me with the coordinates of this location so that I can calculate a jump out." He had the rail capacitors charged and trained on the Dauntless.

[Orgun]

(Just a quick question here Shadow, but your ships about what? 5 to 7 meters in length, and your challenging a ship that at a guess is about 3 to 4500 meters in length, now rail guns are all well and good but against a ship that size and shields, it would just shrug you off. Though I guess you'd get a nice light show :P)

He sat there dumbfounded as the ship bucked and rocked violently, this guy was insane, he quickly flipped the channel open "Erm, no I'll pass on that because a. its your fault we're here in the first place b. I don't like you and c. I don't know where we are.
He sat back again muttering to himself before taking the control and bring the nose of the ship up to allow the heat shields to work correctly, several warning icons had appeared but so far nothing was falling off....yet.

.............................

His anger once again flared at the order given by the small vessel, "how dare they!" he thought to himself. No alien filth gave him orders, with a raise and drop of his hand the signal was given for a single round to be fired.
A dull thud echoed throughout the ship as a several ton round left the forward weapons battery, in 7 seconds it would impact with that little piece of dirt.
"One less bit of alien scum to worry about now" he said out loud causing a few crewmembers to grin.

.............................

She looked up covering her eyes as she watched the small fire ball rocket across the heavens, "What was it?" she thought to herself.

[ShadowedFigure]

(Well, I combine the factors: Soban is being cocky, belives that weak guns are better than no guns, and there's always the possability that the enemy could over-think the situation. Besides, I erm... *cough* forgot about sheilds when I was writing the post. BTW, what's the vector of the Dauntless relative to us at this time?)

[mew2cool]

Echo sat on the seat, grinning, squeezing the armrests of the seat with a crazy look in her natural eye, like she was on a rollercoaster and enjoying it immensely. "bring it on, i'm not afraid of you, you stupid ball of dirt...I ain' someone you can kill so easily.." she mumbled to herself, followed by a suppressed chuckle. Anyone could see she wasn't emotionally 100% stable.

[ShadowedFigure]

The Runner was flying just above the Exodus (facing the opposite direction) when the Dauntless fired. "Ah shit." Soban flicked the correctional thruster funtion and and punched them hard down and engaged the magnetic clamp. The ship jostled a bit and there was a loud thud from the impact but they were firmly latched. He continued to fire the ventrical thrusters to clear the incomming fire while at the same time using his atmospheric manuvering array to eliminate the roll caused by his sudden impact. He flicked the comm, "No reason to die just yet. Hold on!" There was a fire in his eyes ans he gripped the controlls of his ship. He felt the rush come, he was ready for anything because this is what he lived for.

[Orgun]

"What!?" he screamed as his ship jolted from the impact, "No way in seven hells am I going to let HIM save us, its his fault this is happening anyway!" he shouted above the roaring of the Exodus ripping through the atmosphere. With a sudden motion he rammed the manual control down hard, sending the Exodus straight down, warning icons began to scream across the displays as armoured plating began to shear off, sparks flew from ruptured cables as the Exodus tore apart around them.
He sat there keeping the controls steady, somewhat regretting his decision, still least Echo wasn't bothered all she was doing was grinning.
But hopefully the idiot on top would disengage before something explosive inside the Exodus detonated.

..............................

The several ton round flew past above them, before skimming the atmosphere and dissappearing from sight.
The Dauntless's vast engines burst into life as the light cruiser began its journey to take position in orbit.

[mew2cool]

( i'm skipping my turn since my char doesn't really do anything now, just grinning in her weird extatic psychosis)

[ShadowedFigure]

Soban was pushed hard up against his restraints, "So it's a game of chicken then?" He grinned to himself. " Let's see who can hold out longer." He activated the yaw and pitch stabilizers to make sure the ships wouldn't re-orient in the turbulance and braced himself against the bulding intesity of the buffeting.

[Orgun]

He was straining to keep hold of the controls as they tumbled out of control, the other wasn't letting go so this only left one option to him, one that he really REALLY didn't want to use, but he had run out of plans. With a heavy and strained sigh he flipped a switch, seconds later the outer armour plates flew off and the outer structure gave way, letting the small cockpit section to fall through the air before deploying several chutes to halt their free fall.
He closed his eyes as he remember what he and the Exodus had been through, "We should hopefully hit dirt in about a min Echo, after that I dunno" he shrugged weakly.

[mew2cool]

Echo snapped out of it as she realized what had just happened. She turned her head slowly at him, a blank look on her face, looking kinda cute like that. "y-you did NOT just dump all my gear with the rest of the ship, did you?

[Orgun]

"Erm....maybe, Im sure it'll survive the impact, you'll just have to find it when it does hit the ground, and sift through all the wreckage" he scratched the back of his head sheepishly. The cockpit gently rattled as the winds swirled around it, he looked up wondering what was happening to the numbnuts above.

[mew2cool]

Echo pointed her finger at him, she was clearly not satisfied with the answer. "YOU BETTER HOPE I FIND MY GEAR, THAT STUFF IS HARD TO COME BY!" after her burst of rage, she crossed her arms and sulked, totally ignoring the fact that they were about to crash land onto an unknown planet.

[ShadowedFigure]

"Son of bitch." Soban didn't hesitate, he released the ship from underneith him and pushed all power into the atmospheric lift assembly. The hulk fell away at an accelerating pace but he was still moving to fast. Thinking quickly he nosed the ship up to as close to a 45 degree angle as he could hold and hit the engines. The ship was slowing down significantly now but the ground was comming up fast. He flicked a switch to retract the railguns and braced himself for a hard landing.

(I need to know what the local terrain is like for my next post)

[Orgun]

He shook his head and braced himself as the cockpit hit the ground with a thud, quickly getting up he made his way over the mess that the cockpit was in and took out a small pack along with his rifle. He kicked another pack over to Echo, "Its a survival pack, should have the stuff you need to survive the atmosphere....at least for a few days anyway".
He leant over and pulled a hatch open, immediately he was greeted by the howling wind throwing dust everywhere, quickly he put on a pair of goggles and a breathing mask, and quickly moved out, leaving Echo in the cockpit.

[mew2cool]

Echo opened the sear belts, stood up and opened the survival pack. "yeah, thanks." she said as she put on the gear as well and stepped outside, stretching. "ahh, nothing nicer than a warm breeze. Now let's find my gear. you have a locator for the rest of the ship?"

[ShadowedFigure]

Soban shook his head about in an attampt to clear the mental fog from the minor concussion he had sustained in the crash. His vision was iffy, everything looked flat and there was no color. His hearing was completely gone and he couldn't tell which way was up so he slamed the release on his restraints and immideately fell half way off the right side of his seat. He had obviously come to rest a little off center. He clawed his way over to the hatch and pulled the manual release. Carefuly as he could he pushed it open a crack, wind and dust blasted through. He pulled the hatch shut and proped himself up against the interier of his craft and waited for his senses to recover.

By the time his equilibrium returend mosst of his vision had as well but all the sounds he heard were still heavily dampened. He got up and opened a storage unit with his emergency presure suit and pulled it over his clothes then dawned his helmet and clicked the seals shut. He pressed a button on a small controll unit near his wrist and the suit vacum sealed itself, the suit was a little cumbersom despite boeing skintight but he didn't have any other equipment that could do the same job. Me made sure to set the helmet for air filtration. Opening another storage unit he removed a crude percision rifle, his sidearm, a combat knife, and his bag full of survival gear. The sidearm he straped diagonaly across his chest with some spare cells for both it and th rifle with the hoster towards the bottom of his right side. He slung the rife over his back and carried the bag by hand. He opened the hatch again and stepped out.

[Orgun]

He turned to look at her, the winds whipping about him, "Not really no, but then again I figured we could always follow the trail of smoke?" he said while pointing to a trail of smoking being blown across the sky.
"Come on, we better get to the wreakage before the reactor if it survived the impact, blows up" he said shouldering his rifle and starting off in the direction of the smoke origination.

[mew2cool]

She rolled her eyes behind her mask. "oh great." then she stretched her legs a bit, breathed deep and dashed towards the smoke with an inhuman speed, the white carapace armor shining in the sun. she wanted to get her weapons before the reactor blows and so she wouldn't have to hang around unarmed if trouble appeared....and to have a means to fight back if her new "companion" decided to turn against her.

[ShadowedFigure]

A quick examination of the ship revealed one the fin that had hi the ground hardest was gone and its rail would probably no be functional untill he could get access to some professional repair tools. The othe fin that had hit the ground was dammaged but still there and its rail looked mostly unharmed. Most of the damage however had occured on the fuelsalage. Soban could see peices of the armor plating in the small trail his ship had left behind and areas near the engine and reactor wer visably smashed inward. He was going to have some work ahead of him making sure it could safely get off the ground. First though me would need to find a source of food and water. He scanned the area, nothing immeadiately interesting except the mountain he had landed near, other than that it was just a desert. He resolved to get up the mountain to se if he couldn't see something worth seeing. So he started up and off.

[Orgun]

He watched her run off, "Idiot....heck knows what lives in these deserts, if she's that desperate for a weapon she could've just asked for a pistol...." he spoke to himself. He grinned a second later, thinking to himself that the view wasn't so bad of her behind.

[mew2cool]

After running a good while Echo finally reached the wreckage. she stood still for a moment to catch her breath and to look for a good place to enter. She noticed a hole on the side that was large enough to enter and no fire or smoke was coming out of it, so she assumed it was safe enough to go inside. Echo flexed, jumped onto the wreck and disappeared into the opening.

The ship was a mess inside. there were fire and smoke everywhere and some wires hanging loose with some power left on them, making sparkles as she passed them while heading to the cargo bay. After squeezing herself past some junk on the corridors she finally reached the room and kicked the door open. no flames, no smoke. "lucky day" she commented sarchastically and entered the room.

But as she opened the weapon locker part of the cryotube and took her pistol, extra ammo and her sword, a damaged pipe finally gave up, turning the doorway into a flaming deathtrap. "shit" she said, and backed up against the back wall. ~damn, no other doors? then i'll have to make one~ she thought and unlocked her massive blade from the back of her armor and sliced a piece off the wall with 3 swings.

She jumped out, run a good distance back where she came from, further from the ship, rammed her sword on the sand and sat down, leaning on the wide blade. ~I guess he'll catch up to me soon....~

[Orgun]

He yawned and stretched abit as he walked following the trail Echo had left, in the distance he could make out the large lump that was the remains of his ship adn the small dot being Echo or he hoped it was her.
About 30mins laters he walked past her heading towards the large mountains that loomed in the distance, "Come on numb nuts, its not the best idea to stay in the ground zero of a reactor detonation, unless you'd want me to carry you....." he smirked as he said that "that would give me a nice feel of that backside of yours and a lovely view of your chest" he grinned beneath his mask, knowing that would infuriate most women.

[mew2cool]

Echo stood up and cracked her neck as he passed her. "carry me? that'd be the day. i doubt you could do that, I AM a lot bigger than you, not to mention armored and armed heavily. Besides you wouldn't be able to see anything when i got this baby on" she said, knocking the custom-made heavy harapace armor she was wearing, then swinged the sword and docked it onto her back. "you're welcome to try though, less walking for me" she smirked, baring her metal-colored fangs some and started following him.

[ShadowedFigure]

Meanwhile, Soban finaly climbed to the top of the mountain. There was a fair sized plateu there where he could observe from. He took a moment to regain some stamina then stood up and looked out accross the landscape arround him. The desert terain streached out for quite some distance. As he turned he noticed a pillarof black smoke rising into the sky. Knealing he unslung the rifle from his back and placed a glare guard (Prevents light grom glinting off the lens and giving away my position) over the scope and peered through. He could see the other ship had hit ground not to far from another mountain. He raised the aim, scanning the ground from there to the slope he spotted the two. "There you are." He grinned and lowerd the scope momentarily. "This could be interesting." He looked through the scope again and scaned the horizon slowly making a swing arround. Finaly he found sign of some denser vegitation. "Perfect." He slung the rifle again and began his trip back down.

[Orgun]

He waved dismissivly at her, "So your fat then? Fair enough, you can walk.." he said, looking around for a cave or some sort of cover for the night, it was common knowledge that a desert area was hot in the day but became freezing at night. If they could find a cave or somethnig then maybe they could stand a chance of surviving the night, for a second he caught movement in the corner of his eye, swirling around quickly he saw nothing but a cloud of dust. He shook his head, getting jumpy now wouldn't help them, he took a deep breath and resumed his march to the mountains.

[mew2cool]

"I would watch my mouth if i were you, smartass. There's nobody around to help you if i decide to kill you. And i'm good at it" She replied, clearly offended by the comment and kicked some sand on him. "do i LOOK fat to you?" strangely enough Echo didn't seem to be worried about being stuck on an unknown planet with someone she didn't know and no way out. It could have been because of the tracked that was integrated on her armor...

[ShadowedFigure]

By the time he got down the moutain Soban noticed the sun was getting low he ignored this and continued accross the desert with a brisk pase. He was wearing a vaccum suit. The matterial could stand up to both the hot and cold extremes of interplanetary space. It seemed a little more important to get to sustanence than to wory about rest. He'd be fine for the night.

[Mewfive]

(hello long time no see, hope I aint barging in on a dead RP here and I don't have time to read the previus posts so please fill me in on whats happening before I get neck deep in trouble ok?)

Far, far away from all the commotion a huge dimensional rift slowly tares open and a massive vessel slowly creeps through. It's size being nothing to scoff at, three times as long as a star destroyer and twice as wide, huge 7 barrel, equally spaced cannons lining it's edges and sides indicating it had to be a battleship, or a super carrier of some sort. It's massive gravity propulsion slowly pushing it towards the fray at the speed of a snail, acctually the ship was only using a 3rd of it's possible speed.
On the bridge, inside a massive psi-operation orb, a creature clad in bright white, jet black jointed armour gently guided the massive craft, all it's functions, drives, defenses, weapons and internal systems hooked directly into his cerebral cortex allowing his bio-enhanced mind to control the whole ship with no more than a thought."Estimated time of arrival, at current speed, 20 minutes" Avingion smiled softly to himself, knowing the humans would get uber paranoid to see a ship of this size approach but he had no ill intentions, merely a shipment of fighter craft to pick up for his client and the wery instance the prompt code from the human ships arrived he verified it and responded. "This is the super carrier Tech-Gem, requesting permission to land, deactivating weapon systems and prepearing for inspection" Avingion did as he said and waited to be scanned by the passing human ships, if had to he could fire at them, his cannons were definatly nothing to scoff at, even the imperium of man was not gonna stop him from fulfilling his contract but as always preferred the more subtle way rather then blasting a few ships and landing illigally.

[Orgun]

Everyone Im temporarily putting this rp on hold, as I've just started anew job Im way too tired to think of anything to put for the rp, Im also busy over the next few weekends.
Im also interested if anyone really wants this rp to continue?

[ShadowedFigure]

I'd like it to go on, I was enjoying this one.

[Mewfive]

Hey so was I what am I a ghost around here? *looks at himself* I´m not transperant so dontn ignore me will you?

[ShadowedFigure]

Who's ignoreing? Orgun is the one who has to push the story allong and he's busy. At least he was nice enough to say he needed to put this on hold =P

[mew2cool]

yeah, i definately want to continue, this is the only interesting RP on the board ATM.

And no ur not ignored m5, you just had a bad timing XP we need some more people in the rp so you're a very welcome addition. you could always read the old posts while the rp's on hold so you get "in" to the story so far. =)

[Mewfive]

Domo arigato *smiles* I love to RP and with my new character system up the old "godmodder" whatsamacallit is gone for good *secretly still hates M3's stupid robot and wants to sell it as scrap metal but is otherwise ok* well hmm maybe I'l just start an RP then when my nets up and the tests are over ok?, by the way I´m thinking of posting a new character profile soon and any comments are welcome exept those that make me head for the hills doing 220mh!

[Orgun]

He sighed as they slowly made their way to the base of the mountain, it had loomed over them since the beginning but only now as the light began to fade did they reach the base of it. This only proved how massive this one was but another spec of movement to the side caught his attention, this strange occurance had been happening since they started walking he wondered if Echo had noticed it aswell.
So far it hadn't shown any aggression whatever it was, but still the safety was off on his rifle, as they reached a cave he turned about to speak to Echo when a bright flash in the distance appeared where his ship once was. He grabbed Echo by the chest plate and threw her into the cave, he glanced behind him for a second as he saw a shockwave hurtling towards them. He growled "For Fuc..." as he was thrown into the cave by the shockwave, hitting the ground he rolled a few feet before hitting a wall. He coughed up some blood, the force of the impact had definitely broke something in his chest, he just didn't know what.
His vision began to darken as he slowly slipped into unconscious, "Echo..." he slurred before everything went black.

(Mew5 if you can, change your ship round to that fighter. The next post of mine will bring the Dauntless back into the fray)

[mew2cool]

Echo got up and shaked off some sand that had covered her when the blast hit the cave. Her hearing was a bit blurry from the pressure and her head felt light. "dude..."

Echo got up on her knees and looked around the cave a bit, before spotting Orgun, half buried to the sand and bleeding. "aw fuck." she said, stood up, walked to him and started to dig him out of the sand. After that she tapped him on the cheek. "Hey...you awake?" no answer. she checked his pulse and came to the conclusion he was alive. good. Even though she'd never admit it it was nice to have someone around in a place like this. Echo sighed in relief and started examining Orgun, being careful not to move him. ~no injuries in the abdomen area. must be in the chest. shit, i can't really tell what's wrong until he's awake. i guess i'll wait.~ she thought and sat next to him, leaning on the wall after unlocking her sword from her back, picked Orgun on her lap since desert nights were cold. "don't get any ideas, bub". Echo took out and checked her pistol, keeping it ready for nightly visitors. she had indeed spotted the character in the horizon. then she closed her eyes.

[Mewfive]

(Ack scrap my previus post ok?)

*Some distance away from the planet a dimensional rift tares open and a strange looking jet like craft foldes into reality. Using it's active stealth system it avoided the Dauntless light cruiser easily, it's radar and navigation systems gently guiding the fighter towards the dead little planet it had picked up. The craft's pilot initiated penetration mode which instructed the fighter to move at maximum speed towards it, knowing that there was no way the Dauntless could match his speed but also to hide. He was in no mood to be humiliating humans now and besides he needed to recharge his spacefold generator and that required a minimum recharge period of two days* Penetration mode initiated, active stealth mode engaged, pinpoint barrier system fully charged, weapons online... *The fighter shot towards the dead planet with speed that would otherwise kill normal pilots, thankfully though the pilot behind the wheel of this fighter was nowhere near an ordinary pilot. A bio-tech organism would be the term but that was like calling titan a robot* Entering atmosphere.... beginning re-entry phase. A black shield slid over the cockpit and protected it from the immense heat all around it. The re-entry phase completing after a few seconds and the landing procedure commencing, the pilot spotted something on the horizon, a columm of smoke. Activating his fighters afterburners he shatterd the sound barrier and arrived at the wreckage in record time, examening the wreckage with his sensors he determined the vehicle was a Hammer class Corvette a relic from the war against humans* Initiating landing gear *a pair of digitigrade legs lowerd, the fighters two main rear thrusters becoming feet and a pair of thrusters in it's upper rear thighs flaring to life along with the ones in it's feet, slowly lowering the ship into the crater in the middle of the ship. Here no one would bother to look. He shut down the fighters main generator and set the Fold generator to recharge level but kept the active stealth system power on incase the Dauntless would send out a search party to scour the planet. He got out, he was a mewtwo, looked like it anyway, roughly about 6 foot 5 with electric blue and bright white fur, his bright predatory golden eyes scanning the horizon and he soon spotted a trail SOME distance from the crater, analyzing it he determined it was coused by the feet of a mewtwo, putting on his tactical-life-support-cyber-suit which coverd his whole body in metalic gray, jet black jointed armour, he pulled out an assault rifle with an attached plasma luncher, a pistol and precision sniper rifle and attached it to his back and the pistol to his thigh. He analyzed alternative routes but decided that locating the survivors of the crash was prime directive at the time, and so he began his long trudge towards the mountain, the cooling system in his suit easily blocking out the heat from the desert, the pads on his now armourd feet muffling any sound which he might have made and the multible extra sensors in his helmet providing him with a perfect readout, his path was set and now all he had to do was walk it.

[ShadowedFigure]

Soban came to some time later, everything was black except for an emergency light on the inside of the helmet. Why was it so dark? He remeberd then; he had seen something in the distance explode and the shockwave had sent him flying. But still, where the heck was he now? He tryed to move an arm but found it was stuck under something. He tried tomove the other with the same result. "Wait a sec..." He tried to clinch a fist shut and found that his fingers were also stuck but he felt something... sand! He sighed, "What a day to be buried alive." He needed to get out but first he needed to know what direction was was up. He pondered how to go about this.

Finaly he figured something worth a shot. He Hacked up a good wad of spit and blew it onto his visor. The puddle just sat there in the center of the visor. So he was facing down, that was a good thing. Un fortunately his position wouldn't make pussing through a pile of sand easy. he pushed an squirmed his tail as hard as he could untill finaly it broke throught the surface. From the feel of it there was only a couple feet of sand to the surface. Several minures later he had himself out and rolled over. Soban practicly ripped the helmet off his head and inhaled deeply. "I realy hope that doesn't happen again anytime soon."

[Mewfive]

(sorry if this is long and takes place soon I missed my chance to get partually involved before, by the way hope this place has hostile animals to shoot)

Kyan jogged along the sandy trail, his metalic suit being to well designed to clatter or sparkle in the sun. The multible sensors in his helmet providing him with the sensory readout he required to cross this treacherus desert, a strange worm all of a sudden popping it's head out of the ground and making a dive for Kyan's head. He evaded and stared at the ground where the worm had disapeard into, he unslung his rifle and checked the power cell in it, full it read. The vibration in the earth notified him the worm was directly benath him, he jumped and a second later the ugly worm showed it´s face again only this time it was finished, he pumped the rifle and fired a plasma grenade directly into it's mouth. The worm exploded into a massive plasmatic fireball and thankfully his jump had been oriented in a way so that it would prevent him from landing in the middle of the explosion. He landed squirely on his feet rather acrobatically and reloded his rifle "Just a walk in the park, in a barren and hostile desert environment" he got up and started jogging towards the mountain again, this time picking up the pace.

[Orgun]

The Dauntless sat in orbit of the planet, scanning the surface trying to find the aliens.
The Captain sat waiting for any news from the crewmen watching the screens, they had been sitting here for almost 12 hours mainly to repair main systems then to locate the others. It had become clear that whatever had brought them here was the only way to return to their space again but to do that they needed the builder of the device.
He turned in his seat "Anything yet?" he said far calmer then usual to the sensor team, the team leader looked up and gave a quick response "No sir, the planet appears to have suffered an impact of some sort, massive dust clouds have been thrown up causing our sensor sweeps to be distorted." he swallowed and added "Though we did detect a massive surge of power a few hours ago".
The Captain nodded for him to continue, "This could be the detonation of a reactor, so our targets may be somewhere near that area, sir."
"Good work" said the Captain, a few moments later he spoke into the comm. "Lieutenant Hawks, report to the bridge".

..................................

It was hard to breath, but he wasn't cold, he figured he'd be dead by now. He slowly opened his eyes and found himself leaning on a chest, it took only a few seconds to realise whose chest it was. He sat up right but immediately regretted that action as his chest exploded into agony, he gasped and grimaced, clutching his chest he took small breaths.
"No scanners and no medical equipment to help with this, fucking great!" he cursed to himself.
If whatever it was that was damaged or broken wasn't sorted soon, he'd probably die. He looked back over to Echo and smiled weakly, least she was ok.

.................................

She gazed into the gloom of the cave, making out the two figures inside, they had seen her distractions in the daylight. She had managed to get closer then what they thought, she had been here only a few days but her powers were gaining in strength. Still she had many questions to ask and perhaps these newcomers could answer them, though they looked dangerous and she was alone. Perhaps a little longer watching from a far, she smiled and quickly ran off to a hiding spot, without leaving a trace.

[Mewfive]

He dug the claws of his metalic suit into the rock of the mountain as he climbed it. His sensors had picked up a nearby cave a few feet up and so he came to the logical assumption that if there were any crash survivors they would problably have sought assailum within that particular geological formation. His paw found smooth rock and with one motion he swung himself up to the ledge and now stood face to face with the opening of the cave. "Just like the Pheonix I´ve reached my destination by rising from my ashes, only, quite possible to end up in the cooking stove", he stepped into the cave and the two forward pointing additional sensors on his helmet produced lights and immideatly he spotted the crash survivors. One was a relatively attractive female and the other a male that looked like he could use some medical assistance. He noticed the females weapons and so powerd up his own and boosted his reflexes incase the situation would resolve into a fist fight.

[mew2cool]

"Ooh, that's gotta hurt. I wouldn't do any sudden moves if i were you right now, you took quite a blow back there." Echo said, as she saw the look on Orgun's face after his attempt to get up. "I would have given you something for the pain but then it'd be harder to tell what's wrong with you, so bear with it for a while. i got some first aid supplies on my belt and i shoule be able to..." She paused her sentence as she sensed a presence and immidiately swung her pistol towards the cave exit, nearly hitting Orgun in the head. She sat there pointing for some 20 seconds, completely quiet and without moving before pulling her arm back to her side. "thought someone was there...i must be getting old....anyway, we should check out what we can do about you, you can still be of use to me." She Laid Orgun down on the sand on his back gently and started to reach for hed first aid kit when she heard something outside. ~this time it's for sure~ she thought and pointed her gun towards the door again, taking cover behind the broad blade of her sword and looking through the hole in the middle of it. It was only partial cover but better than nothing, being almost indestructible. Peeking through the hole she saw a character appearing on the doorway, sunlight reflecting from his armor. "Who the hell are you and what do you want?"

[ShadowedFigure]

He was sure how long it had been, all he could think about was wether his ship was where he left it since that explosion. He had lost all of his supplies and need to retreive more of what he could. His weapons were still with him but a majority of the amunition had been lost with his supplies. As he approched the area where his ship had landed he spotted a large mound of sand with a nose cone sticking out of it. He laughed to himself, it was a funny sight. "Should be good camoflage as well." He thought.

With a few minutes of digging he cleared the hatch from the couplefeet of sand and pulled it open. It was dark, the lights had been automaticly shut off after he left. He took a few steps in and pounded a panel on the wall. The lights came back on. This whole thing had him more than a little aggrivated at the moment. He moved toward the from of his craft and ploped into his chair to rest for the time being.

[Mewfive]

He had been prepeard for this and so had unslung his fusion rifle from his thigh and hooked it up, in ready stance incase this would resolve into a fist fight. The rifles fusion beam energy could easily superheat the alien creatures weird melee weapon to a point where it would become unthinkable to hold on to it. He didn't regret his precoutionary methods but they appeard to be threatening to the creature and so he lowerd his rifle. "I wish you no harm organic, I merely followed your trail to the spot where we now hold this friendly conversation", he placed an armoured paw on his head and removed it, revealing an electric blue furred mewtwo with a bright white muzzle, his ear tips and short hair were the same, his cheeks having a pair of bright emeral green stripes on each and his bright predatory golden yellow eyes widening to compensate for the fact his sensory enhancers were now offline. "Do you and your companion require any medical assistance?"

[Orgun]

He groaned as he lay there, he didn't see any point in confronting the intruder as Echo seemed to be handling the situation pretty well and then he was pretty much useless for the time being thanks to his injury.

(This post is just to get the rp moving again as it seems to have hit a wall, I'll try to bring in more detail later once I know whats going to happen in the cave, and please no one heal me to much as that will throw me off track for the plot.)

[Mewfive]

The mewtwo's eyes scanned Echo, he was well aware the damage a sword such as hers could inflict but his fusion rifle was more then capable of superheating the blade till it would be unbearable to even be near it. His gaze swayed from Eco to her companion, a black mewtwo that he had to admit looked like he'd been through the warp and back. He decided that just taking a stance would be the best and so he kept his rifle on standby and keeping his senses sharp, trouble could brew any second and he wasn't gonna be the one cought unprepeard.

[mew2cool]

Echo kept her eye on the stranger without blinking. "possibly. but only after you put down your weapons." she replied in a monotonous cold voice. she knew she was somewhat safe behind her blade unless explosives were used since it was crafted from a rare material that looked like metal but wasn't. it wouldn't absorb any heat or coldness no matter what temperature. she also had her armor that could stand considerable amount of punishment. She didn't trust this guy just yet, he looked too well-equipped to be a normal soldier. he could be trouble if he was hostile, especially with an injured companion and the cave wasn't really an ideal fighting place...

[Mewfive]

The elite scanned all possible alternatives, identafying the alloy of the melee weapon wasn't all that difficult, by the way she hid behind it she obviusly had alot of trust in it, indicating that either it was wery strong or simply impervius to heat. He would have smiled but that would have made him look all the more untrustworthy, he knew wery well that the heat beams from his fusion rifle could easily envelop the female in in a cocoon of unbearable heat. The plasma grenades he had loaded into the rifles secondary firing system could do the same thing as well, his own armour was also designed to withstand just about anything sharp and solid core based(lasers cut through it like paper though). He lowerd his weapon, it's muzzle retracting partually into the weapon itself allowing it to be mounted on a slot on the side of the armour plating protecting his thigh, "All right, if that is what you wish" he slowly advanced on Orgun and knelt besides him, using his unique eyes to look into his body, seeing the extent of the damage and quite frankly he was F%&up
.

[Orgun]

He tried to focus on the newcomer but he just couldn't, everything was so blurry. Whatever his injury was, it was certain he was dying.
He sighed a little, he hadn't planned to crash and then get injured, his cargo was running loose and for some reason helping him.
Perhaps if he survived he would let her go on some random world and forget he ever saw her, IF he survived which the way things were going wasn't likely to happen.
He closed his eyes and waited for his life to ebb away.

..................................

She could feel one of the others life leaving him, the one she had felt so far away, she had to act and quick. The others were no longer her concern, her powers would protect her, the Eldars had seen to that.
She concentrated and simply vanished, only to reappear next to Orgun, smiling she knelt beside him and placed her paw on his chest a dull glow began to seep across his chest.
(I'll post the finishing of this next time)

..................................
On the underside of the Dauntless a large set of airlocks slowly opened as a bulky dropship left, within seconds it had entered the atmosphere, to the group below all it would seem to be would be a meteorite flying across the sky.

(Tell me people, would you likle me to continue posting like this, each part showing the actions and thoughts of the other chars that I control? Instead of one big chunk?)

[mew2cool]

(orgun: sure, it's more clear that way =) )

(mewfive: the material of the sword is one of a kind and uncharted, there's no way he could "identify" it. =P)

Echo backed away from the stranger, still pointing her pistol at him. "don't try anything funny." she said as he knelt over Orgun. then without a warning, another character appeared next to him. "HOLY SHIT!" was the the only thing that came out of her mouth before she swung her pistol at the female. "what the hell is going on!?"

she wasn't comfortable with this. not by a long shot. the situation was getting worse by the minute. Who were these creatures? who did they work for? why were they here? and more importantly, why did she care about what happened to that guy who peeped at her and called her fat?

[Mewfive]

(Mewfive: Acctually I never identafied it, I assumed that from the way you hid behind it you had a lot of faith in it, and oh Echo that pistole isnt even gonna dent my armour)

The creatures eyes widen as he spots the newcomer, something about her felt familiar, he just couldn't remember why. He stood up, noticing the glow of energy he came to the logical assumption that she had to be healing him, either that or stealing his life force he could not be sure, he was never tought that much about ancient energies, only how to effectively use advanced technology. He readied his rifle and sharpend his minds senses, somethign was afoot and he wasn't about to be caught unprepeared.

(Oh by the way my char belongs to two certain races in the warhammer universe I just havent decided who so I´l leave it at this ok?)

[Orgun]

He gasped as a warm feeling spread through his body, the pain of his injury slowly fading. Each passing second he felt better, but what was causing this to happen? No sooner had he thought that, a soft giggle sounded in his head. He quickly opened his eyes and looked up into a pair of red eyes, he lay there for a few seconds before saying "You".

...........................

He was healing far faster then she had expected, it wasn't hard to see what he was thinking, so many questions and confusion, she couldn't help but let out a mental giggle. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at her, she blushed a little never having had anyone stare at her for so long. Her attention was quickly brought back to the present as he said "You" to her, she smiled and tilted her a little, "hello".

...........................

The dropship roared across the sky as it made the final preps for landing, the engines immediately slammed into reverse thrust bringing the massive bulk to stop, slowly the craft lowered to the ground.
As the last few metres were passed to the surface the front ramp began to lower, as the landing gear hit the dirt 5 chimera's and 2 leman russ battle tanks launched down the ramp and made their way towards the mountain range.

[mew2cool]

"You know each other?" Echo said as she observed the situation, although she was more surprised by Orgun's miraculous recovery. that creature was a healer of some sort, but where did she come from? was she a friend of this newcomer? it was better not to take unnecessary risks. "hey! move aside little girl." she gestured towards the door and then pointed her gun at the high-tech guy who was also kneeled over Orgun. "You too. give him some room."

[Mewfive]

Far far away on the other side of the planet, a huge starsthip emerged from a dimensional rift. Clearly of alien design the ship was five times the size of an imperial star destroyer, twice as wide and three times as long. Lining it´s edges and sides were huge multi-barrel cannon clearly of the fusion type, the ships five huge gravitational thrusters slowly pushing it into orbit, manuevering so that it would stay undetected by the dauntless class cruiser already in orbit on the other side of the planet

*********

The mewtwo got up and moved aside, the muzzle of his fusion rifle sliding into the gun, holstering it on his thigh he picked up his helmet and put it back on, again turning into a mewtwo like combat bot. His sensors and augmetics powering up, he began and cereebral scan of the newly arrived organism. His four fingerd armourd right paw twitched madly all of a sudden and he moved his left paw to it and unhooked the entire arm from the ellbow joint, he pulled the entire arm of from the ellbow joint and checked the biodraulics and synaptic connectors before re-hooking the arm, clearly he was do for an uppgrade on the plasmite purification system and synaptic firing sequince system.


(Orgun I know you don't want big ships flying around but this one aint gonna be used till it's ok ok?)

[Orgun]

He sat up holding the side of his head, the pain in his chest was gone but he still had one heck of a headache, he looked up at Echo and shrugged. "Sort of....I've seen her in dreams and sorta visions while Im awake" he said before looking up at the albino. "Why did you contact me and why did you help me?" he asked now ignoring the other two standing on the other side.

.........................................

She smiled at him totally ignoring Echo, "You have a purpose, either good or bad you have to see it till the end." she said softly gently carressing his face. Orgun sat there somewhat confused as she giggled and teleported away. A voice sounded in there heads seconds later "There are others coming if you want to avoid them for now go further in." With that a part of the wall vanished revealing another tunnel.

........................................

The tanks sat there their engines idling, in front of them lay a massive crater, they were heading in the right direction.
With a single unheard order the tanks sped off towards the mountain range.

.......................................

On the outer region of the system a stange crescent shaped vessel sped through space towards the planet, it had detected the two other vessels and had declared them as a weak threat. Soon the others would come and all life would end.

(Fine whatever M5, I've had enough over the past few days with people doing the complete opposite of what I ask, so regardless of what people think any ship that is brought into this system will be destroyed.)

[Mewfive]

(You do realize that if you are bringing the necrons into the RPG the Tau can handle them, they are far from invincible and necrons are machines no matter how imposed, but if thats how it's gonna be I´m withdrawing my post and the ship will never have arrived ok!?, plus it's annoying when all others are instantly considderd weak at first glance by all otheres, Echo by the looks of it could slice a necron clean in half with no trouble at all!)

The mewtwo eyed the spot where the female once stood, not to keen on being ignored like that but decided not to let it show, checking his nanotech levels he activated his multi-spectral Magnetic Readout Imaging system and proceeded into the cave through the entrance that had just appeard out of nowhere

[Orgun]

(Im in a piss poor mood as my aunt has had a stroke and is dying of cancer, so now we're just waiting for end to arrive. M5 I have mentioned on a number of occasions that this rp is NOT based in the 40k universe, I have merely taken some of the races from that universe. So now I ask where the feck did I say your char is regarded as weak?! The only time I've mentioned that something is weak is with the ships and in this rp against the necrons your ship as well as others is pathetic. Yes perhaps Echo could slice apart a necron but it would just repair. This is my rp and the necrons in it ARE the most powerful race around, only the Old Ones rivaled them and they're all dead! >< To them all our chars are nothing more then insignificant bags of flesh that will just be an annoyance)

[Mewfive]

(I am sorry to hear about your aunt but I am not a living being, the Necrons wouldn't destroy someone who's practically blood related. I aint a part of their species but part of their technology was used in my creation, don't ask me how I don't even know myself, my char is a mix up of a few mangas and some warhammer species, true a necron would repear but so can I, even faster for that matter and a Necron is only a part of a collective and I am assuming that it is a Necron Monolith comming down from the sky no?, well then destroy that and all Necrons connected to it go bye bye, no godmodding at all here but it's you RP, I just wasn't sure of the rules and now that I am I will stop interfering with it, say who's turn is it to post anyway?)

[mew2cool]

*cough*godmode!*cough* <<;

[Mewfive]

(You have to be dumd to assume I didn't hear that, I try my best but an RP where no one stands a chance against the Necrons isn't fair now its it? The humans and Eldar, Tau and Orks have been kicking their butts for a long time and I know this RP aint based on the warhammer universe but still this has to be taken into consideration, now please just somebody post so this can go on. I'm dying to know whats gonna happen in this RP, sorry if this is godmodding if it is I´l just remove it)

The mewtwo proceeds into the strange passageway that just appeard
"I suggest we proceed this way, if we want to avoid being cought by whoever that female described" he walks ahead, his nano-combat suits visor glowing a bright golden yellow as he enters the darkness of the caves inner passageways, using his enhanced vision to absorb the meager few photons of light in order to see where he was going like he were in broad daylight.

[mew2cool]

Echo sighed and holstered her pistol as it seemed the new guy really wasn't going to do anything. "yeah whatever..." She stood up and hit her head to the cave ceiling, let out some bad swears before reaching her arm down to Orgun who was still on the cave floor, but not looking at him. come on then, we don't have time to lie down i guess. but how the hell did that girl teleport to the cave. that kind of technology was very advanced and not portable.

[Orgun]

He grabbed the offered hand and got to his feet, "I've only seen her in my head, I don't know her name or how she can do what she does. Though Im not so sure that its tech that allows her to teleport, anyway I guess we follow the moving suit." with that he picked up his equipment and went into the darkness.

(I'll post what the tanks are doing in a few posts, for now they're just moving towards this place, the same goes for Liandra, she'll make a reappearence in abit.)

[Mewfive]

The other mewtwo kept on advancing deeper into the cave with his rilfe drawn and proned. He wasn't exactly sure weather this cave system could be trusted but if he wanted to avoid whoever was after them he would just have to follow the cave wherever it might lead. "I really dont like this cave" the lights on his helmet and the chest of his suit were glowign a bright yellow iluminating the path ahead, it was damp and not wery pleasing to look at, of course he'd been through worse so walking through a cave wasnt altogehter difficult at all say for the fact he kept wondering who that white female was, she bore slight resseamblance to an Eldar he's once met but then again Eldar were humanoid.

[mew2cool]

"Ugh, this cave is obviously not made for 8-foot-tall creatures.." echo mumbled as she followed the two in a crouched position. "hey! why can't we just go and kill whatever is after us instead of hiding in this hole?" She didn't like running away, destruction was much more fun.

[Orgun]

He slowly followed the new guy through this new tunnel before shouting back to Echo, "Well for one I really don't feel like getting shot or coming close to near death....again!". As soon as he finished shouting he hit his foot on something hard, several native curse words later he knelt to see what he had hit. He ran his hand over the object that jutted out of the ground, whatever it was it definitely wasn't rock, "Hey new guy some light here would really be appreciated!" he called after the other.

[Mewfive]

Ice turned around and walked over towards the black male mewtwo, he let his light shine down onto what the male had found, it had all the right elements and attributes to be some kinf of metal alloy, although that wasn't possible, metal mined from planets such as these simply did not have solid shapes, adleast they didn't have strange shapes, only explanaion was that there was something underneath them, or that they were inside something else entirely besides a narrow cave system....he bent down and brougth the lights on his nano-combat suit up to full streanght, the tempature control system making sure to keep him nice and cool inside his suit, the breather pack allowing him to breath in purified air and his nano-drug administer system kept administering vitamin liquid and processed liquid food into his system in controled doses. Even with all this tech he was nervus about this cave system and he didn't like being nervus....

[Orgun]

He peared closer at the object, looking like a small pyramid jutting out of the ground, he ran his finger over it. It felt warm to the touch, "this sure isn't any ordinary cave, and Im betting we'll find more crazy shit like this the further we go in. So...now DO we go further in?" he said while looking at his two companions.

(Just a small post to restart it)

[mew2cool]

Echo rolled her eyes and shaked her head. "yeah whatever. But what are we going to EAT while hiding in this hole? oh i know! maybe we can make sand cakes!?" the sarchasm was oozing out of the words, she was obviously not satisfied with the answer. But she knew that it would be better to stick together and not rush into a fight with an unknown amount of enemies.

[Mewfive]

The mewtwo was becomming unneasy, something about this place didn't seem right. Plus that female that appeard earlier had emitted energy he'd never before encounterd, after all he hadn't lived that long. Hearing that comment about food he heard his own stomach growling, producing a small canister of some sort he popped it into his mouth and his stomach soothed somewhat "MRE meals, gotta love e'm"

[Orgun]

He closed his eyes and sighed "Check your emergency field pack, Im sure theres something to apease you oh mighty one..." he spoke then started off again down the cave.

...............................................

They were making good progress she thought, it wouldn't be long till they reached the entrance. She smiled if these three unlocked the doorway then just maybe, everything could be saved.

[mew2cool]

Echo slapped her forehead. "yes there is, but that's not going to last long. I'm a big girl if you haven't noticed, and i need more food than you." she sat down and then laid down. "you just play with those things, i'm taking a nap, couldn't sleep much last night cus i was looking after your sorry ass. you're welcome." SHe closed her eyes and turned her back on them.

[Orgun]

He growled and stormed back over to Echo not noticing the object jutting out of the floor, a few moments he hit his foot hard on it and began to hop and lose balance in the direction of Echo a fe seconds passed before he fell forward landing on Echo's chest and one of her breasts.
He lay there motionless for a few moments before bolting up and starting off again down the cave though now travelling somewhat faster, his face red with embarrasment.

[Mewfive]

Ice proceeds to run alongside Orgun deeper into the cave, his XV22 battlesuits advanced sensor array and three way optic sensor system allowing him perfect night vision. He looked around the cave as they passed through it, having noticed the redness in Orgun's face in his thermal scanners he was sure something rather embarresing had happend although he had the intelligence not to ask. Having his arm mounted plasma rifle charged and ready was nice but he wished he'd braught his gun drones along with him, they would have been wery useful inside the cave. His armoured head moved from side to side untill finally two stopped running, his suits interal tempature control compensating for the heat and lowering the suits internal tempature.

[mew2cool]

Echo stared at Orgun with her eyes wide for a second, blushing rapidly and gritting her sharp metal-colored fangs tightly. As orgun got up and ran away she lied still for a moment, wrapping her arms around her chest before storming after him "you're going to die you little pervert! you hear me!? DIE!"

[ShadowedFigure]

(Alright I think this'll work and acount for continuety problems, thnx for the help Cool)
A light shone from the direction of the cave, from the sound of the yelling a moment ago he wasn't far. His rife was slung over one shoulder and he was holding a sack over the other; he had a flashlight in the other hand. He dimly saw them and advanced with leisurely pace. "I've got food and water if you want it." He droped the sack on the ground and pulled the rifle further up on his shoulder. "The fruit might look a little funny but it tastes decent."

[Mewfive]

Ice's armoured head swiveld towards the creature with the sack, his battlesuits systems detecting to what would appear a less advanced long range projectile weapon similar to his own plasma rifle say for the fact it wasnt plasma based. He approached and watched the light from the creatures solar emitter reflect onto his own face as he shone it onto the high-tech non available to the public alien armour that Ice was wearing. "Food is not an issue for me, water however is and I believe the other ones I followed in here are not all to exited about living off of MRE's for remainder of our stay here" Ice discharged his weapon systems, all four of them and then proceeded to remove his helmet revealing his electric blue emerald green striped face. His yellow eyes shining in the slight dark. "Request please, who are you and how did you track us down into this cave exactly? I dont recall having detected another crash"

[Orgun]

"Oh man oh man, just great! I don't need this now!" he said to himself, he hadn't meant to land on her, and most definitely not that area either.
He quickened his pace a little, he had noticed the other but figured if they were hostile Echo could vent on them instead of his head.
He had gone pretty far ahead into the darkness, with only a small torch to aid him, so he didn't notice the steep slope untill it was too late.
With a yelp he went sliding down, his carapace armour creating small sparks on the hard surface, which now began to form into a metal, similar to the little pyramid that he had so recently hit his foot on.

[Mewfive]

*Ice looks back. His auditory sensor had picked something up, a yelp? He ran after Orgun but after he came to the spot where Orgun fell he himself managed to tripp down the slope but luckily his jet packs auto activation system kicked in and instead of rolling down the slope like a big hunk of metal he glided down slowly and majestically, landing on his feet less then two meters from where Orgun landed. "Are you ok sir?" Ice approaches and stops suddenly to take in his surroundings. The whole area looked as if it were made from metal, ancient metal. "Sir, I think this cave is not all what it seems" he uses his scanners to try and identafie the metal but it doesnt show up in any available database available to th suit at all. "This is getting stranger and stranger by the moment" Ice heads over to Orguns general direction and offers a hand to help him up. "Need an armourd paws assit?"

[mew2cool]

Echo had stopped chasing Orgun when the other newcomer appeared. she was standing still and pointing him with her Gauss pistol with a blank look on her face, the snake-like pupil of her implant eye glowing faint yellow light in the dark cave. "who are you and whay are you here? answer fast or lose a limb. you choose." she ignored the fact that orgun fell down and ice went after him. she was not going to take a risk of getting stabbed in the back while distracted. trusting new people was not one of her virtues thanks to her life as an assassin since she was a child.

[Orgun]

He takes the offered paw and gets to his feet, brushing himself off he looks round. "As the human phrase goes, 'Deeper down the rabbit hole we go' or something like that" he said to Ice. He flicked on his torch which had somehow landed near his feet, sweaping it round revealed the cave had now turned into a very dark corridor. He stood for a moment staring into space, then suddenly he started off into the dark, calling to Ice "Follow me!".

...............................................

She giggled as she watched him, this one seemed to cause problems where ever he went yet survive.
She was somewhat confused by the others reaction when he fell on her, the agression the female showed was a surprise. She opened her eyes alittle, "Why do i care?" but quickly shoved that thought to the side, right now two of the group had entered one of the primary corridors of the installation so were on the right track. Now all she had to do was guide them further, with a slight sigh she focused on Orgun and added a little suggestion on where to go.

Ice followes and charges his suits weapon systems to full power, never knowing WHAT they might run in there and keeping his omni-directional alert system on full blaze. After a while he began to feel unneasy, something wasnt right, it was almost as if this creature he was following were somehow aware of where it was going at every time there came a turn or bend... something didnt feel right and he rememberd the alien female he'd seen previusly, the one that had heald the male creature... was she involved in this? too much pondering and possibility overlapsing was making him sweat despite his suits internal temperature control system.... yet he followed the male creature deeper down into the cave system.... to see where this was all leading up to.

Soban was used to having weapons pointed at him and he carried more marks than he'd care to have from his many encounters he handeled so well. In the air his confidence was justified but on the ground it often exceded his ability. He faced the gun without flinching. "I'm Soban, I come bearing food supply." He then picked up the food sack and took a glance at the pistol aimed at him. He looked back up. "If you're that worried," he walked past making sure to give the ruffled creature her space, "then I'll go first." Soban turned to face where he was going and proceded to walk, following after the others that had gone on ahead.

Echo kept pointing Soban in the shoulder as he walked by. she didn't change her expression, blink or answer to him. she stood there quietly as he passed and followed him from a distance, keeping her pistol at ready. but even so, she really was hungry and couldn't help thinking about the food bag, and after a while she couldn't help it anymore. "stop." she said in a demanding tone of voice. "give me some of that food. but i want you to taste everything before you hand it over. ok?"

[Orgun]

This whole place seemed familiar to him but he couldn't place his finger on how, it was like he had walked this corridor before.
As he and Ice had made they're way down the corridor, they had noticed objects such as pads and even a pistol of some kind all of which no longer worked.
He clipped something as he walked, the object skitted a few feet in front. He trod over to it quickly, shining his torch on it showing it to be an armoured shoulder guard of some sort. As he looked at it a small hint of recognition crossed his face but he shook his head, "Impossible" he spoke quietly to himself, he chucked the armour to the side and continued on.

Soban carefuly spun heel while maintaining his pace. He pulled an oblong fruit fruit form the bag and took a bite, making his chewing and swallowing motions obvious for the girl. He gave the fruit a toss in the girl's direction.

[mew2cool]

Echo catched the fruit in mid-air and took a bite without taking her eyes...and gun off Soban. she ate it fast and licked her lips with her black tongue. "keep 'em coming b
