Timewalkers Revisited

[Vhaeraun]

Some of you may recognize the story. I released this last year in June (about a month after I joined) and it died miserably as I wasn't known as a good RP'er. Thus, I have decided to try it again this year, after I have gained a reputation here. I present to you...

TIMEWALKERS

The year was 2480 AA (AA means after the assassination of the last United States president in the year 2300. He was named John Clark. He had a lot of support on Earth, and he abolished every dictatorship and singular ruler on Earth. He disbanded the UN and established the United Earth Consortium, or the UEC. Then John was assassinated and a new age of humanity began, the age of intelligence. This age has lasted to present day.) Up until now, humanity has focused on developing Hyper-Space Transport Systems, or HSTs (HSTs are space liners that can bend space around them to allow them to travel millions of light-years in mere hours.) Using these HSTs, humanity soon discovered thousands of sentient species that lived on other planets. With the help of a few other advanced species, humanity was led down the path of time travel. Soon, time travel became commonplace, as people took vacations in time to visit places that had been destroyed or buried or see long dead people or animals. But a budding scientist named Josh Flankerton tried to input some coordinates that had never been defined into his time pod. After an hour of sharp jolts, the pod stopped. Josh stepped out of the pod, soon noticing a type of vegetation that had never been seen before. Josh went back home, and returned soon with a group of top researchers, who confirmed Josh’s suspicions: They had traveled out of the known universe. At the time, they didn’t know how far.

Josh studied the planet and developed the “Dimensional Theory.” This theory stated the following: “We live in a universe. From our point of view, everything is 3-D. But if we zoom out far enough, 3-D becomes 2-D and 2-D becomes 1-D. From a far point of view, our 3-D universe becomes a plane, a thin geometrical figure that stretches for infinity. Consider this: consider that on top and below our universe, there are thousands more universes, turning our universe into a plane of existence. Also consider that encompassing a group of planes like our own is a spherical shape that can be called a dimension. Now consider that from one plane of existence, you can access any other plane in the same dimension, allowing us to go from where we are now, to another plane that is populated by a totally different group of races. Now think that every dimension touches every other dimension in exactly one point, allowing us to go from where we are now to anywhere that was ever in any other plane of existence in any other dimension. Coupled with the ability of time travel, there is no limit to the possibilities of species or planets we can discover.”

Because of this startling theory, Josh quickly became a highly respected scientist and the leader of a government-funded project to map out as much as he could; he led many expeditions to other planes of existence so he could accomplish this goal. In 2486, a series of portals opened up, soon called ‘rifts’, allowing humanity to access every plane of existence that existed. New species kept being discovered everyday. In 2489, a being traveled to Earth through a rift calling itself ‘The Prophet’. The prophet went to the human capital and told a story that shook the foundations of humanity:

“Eons ago, God was created. He created every dimension and He created every plane; every planet; every star; every moon. But soon, He grew overwhelmed by these tasks, so He created a race that He modeled after himself, and he gave them the power to create life, so He could rest. This race was called the Taecyn, or Supreme Being. These Taecyn number in the billions. They created races suited to each planet. Millions of years passed, and the Taecyn realized that they had finished. They returned to God and He created another dimension that the Taecyn went and populated the dimension themselves. The Taecyn elders created a planet that became to be called ‘The Nexus’. The elders created portals, called Rifts, that they put on every planet, and put an entrance on the Nexus, allowing the elders to keep an eye on each race. A couple thousand years passed, and peace ruled over every race. But then, on a very eventful day, a lone being came through the rift to the Nexus. It thumped through the halls of the Nexus to the throne room, where the eldest Taecyn lived. It arrived and said, ‘Beware the humans from Quadrant 742.89 from the galaxy .22 from the planet 624.6. They shall be your downfall, unless you find a way to stop them.’ Without another word being uttered, the being collapsed and disintegrated. The Elders had never created a race called the ‘humans’, so the warning was ignored, soon becoming a child’s bedtime story. Millions of years later, a race was discovered roaming through Quadrant 742.89. Using information gathered from races that encountered this new race, the Taecyn had discovered their humans. The Taecyn decided to close the rifts so the humans could not travel through to the Nexus. But, the Taecyn created symbols that could open, and close, the rifts and scattered them across the dimensions, confidant that humans could not find any combination of 6 that would open a rift. But somehow, the rifts opened anew, without any help from the elders. The Taecyn elders sealed the rifts to the Nexus, sealing themselves on their own planet, and created 10 symbols that they scattered across the dimensions also, figuring that humanity could not reach them now. But humanity kept spreading. The Taecyn decided on a plan which would be the best decision: creating a race of bounty hunters that were created to find the 10 symbols, and to kill any humans found to be in possession of any symbol.”

The Prophet told that story last year. Recently, the killings increased tenfold. Josh Flankerton was appointed head of the UCPH, the Universal Coalition for the Perservation of Humanity to combat this threat. The following is a message sent to the allies of humanity across every dimension in the year 2490:

I will explain the needed parts. Name, Age, and Gender are self explanatory. Races is where I’m limiting. Originally, I was planning on letting that stay open-ended, but upon careful thought, decided against it.

ALLOWED RACES:

Human: Humanity can help out in this squad, as it is their lives they are protecting. All-around people; can range from sniper to lookout to tank.
Elves: Think fantasy elves. Light brown skin; long hair (colours vary); chestnut-shaped eyes; fair complexion. Elves are good with their eyes, thus they usually take long-range jobs.
Gambolts: Large cats. Fur colour ranges from brown to black to purple. Very agile, and easy to hide, so they are good scouts, ninjas, the like.
Gonoala: tall thin species of elves. usually quite pale from life underground. Limited eyesight, but quite strong for their appearance. Expert hand-to-hand fighters. Usually the backup fighter, specialize in monk-like fighting.
Gnomes: Again, think fantasy gnomes. These little fellows usually have really long names, and are quite handy with machinery. Can usually hack through anything electronic. Primarily used for technologically advanced planets.
Ravens: These creatures are, in essence, human with wings. They are human in form, but their bodies are covered with feathers, and have large wings on their back. They are good snipers, as they can get a perspective of the battlefield that few can. Ravens and Gambolts working in unison can ensure that there isn’t anything sneaking up on the squad.

I WILL accept 1 (read it ONE) race made up by a user. However, the race has to be cleared by me, and it is first-come-first-serve (meaning that if it is taken and you wanted it, tough luck)

This has started. The first 5 people to join who have quality characters will be accepted. If I don’t have the 5 people within a week of posting this, I’ll fill in the remaining with characters of my own design, and any who join after have to select the premade ones

[Markpyro]

Char Sheet coming soon.

[Nickodemus]

dude, you let me get into this, char sheet soon my V friend...

Name: Jack the Dashing
Age: 32
Gender: Male
Race: Human
Equipment: 2 revolvers and a cutlass. The usual gear adventuring provides.
Looks: Jack stands at 6 foot tall and has a slender chiseled look to him. He wears a simple white shirt, loose fitting. Black pants with boots, and he has a patch over his right eye.
Why I should go: They killed my girlfriend, my parents, and my parrot. That really pissed me off because I really loved my parrot. I have nothing else here and I am the perfect candidate for this mission because I have no one left back home to use against me.
Bio: Jack was born to wealthy parents and grew up loving the high seas. He joined the royal navy at the age of 16, having gotten in through forged papers, and while on the run from some angry influentail parents who were mad at him for a little incident with their daughter that we wont mention. He worked on special assignments doing black opps projects in different parts of the wold that required finesse (or con artistry and charming looks). He left the Navy at the age of 26 and began his career as a sailor aboard a sailing yacht his parents gave him. He searched out wrecks (ran across an oil freighter, wow). and battled off smugglers ( 2 guys in a bigger boat. Luck, what can I say) and all that until one day he came across a ship, floating in the ocean( what can i say he likes to tell stories.). It was a space ship and inside was a person. He learned the person was a Gambolt and that it was running from someone. He learned a little from him before the attack, that some master race created portals to different worlds. The Gambolt gave him two artifacts and told him to guard them. He pledged this on the dying Gambolts life, for he was a man of his word and never broke a promise. One of these was a box, the other a small key. Before he knew it he was attacked by something. He never knew what but when he awoke it was in the middle of a room with a bunch of not so nice federal agents looking at him and asking questions. After some discussions and a couple of bruises (his) they learned what they wanted to know and told him that his country needed him. After explaining he wasn’t American ( and a few more bruises) they came to a working arrangement that he would report to one Josh Flankerton and join his group. He readily accepted. A call came in that he didn’t want to hear. Seems someone found him out already and was searching for him, his family was all dead and that’s when he noticed. His bird was gone. After some more discussions he found out it was killed on the ship. As he got ready he realized he still had the small key tied to a string around his neck.


Anything else let me know, sorry if it is a little choppy.

[Raging-Fury]

OOC: Anyone who participated in my Protectorate RP will recognize the Character name

Name: Vis'Rah "Psycho" Saicoby
Age: 87
Gender: Male
Race: Elve
Equipment you will bring: 4 Curved knives, two on each hip. Dual pistols holstered on his back for quick draw, and one long range aussalt rifle

Bio: Was raised by a dissident faction that trained their youth's to be expert soldiers, kept his skills during the peace by working as a freelance mercenary and bounty hunter. Once he heard the prophecy he immediately heeded the call and sent an application so as to keep himself in on the action which his spirit so desires. (kinda crappy but was havin trouble thinkin one up)

[Markpyro]

What can gambolts have as far as equipment? I mean really, unless the cat walks on two legs, It cant hold much because it doesnt wear clothes.. And, also, how large is this "large cat"? By large cat do you mean tiger size? Or like twice the size of a normal housecat, like around ocelot...

Name: CAILEAN

Age: 19

Gender: FEMALE

Race: GAMBOLT

Equipment: Has a single belt across her midsection, with a rather long knife. Guns do not suit her well, with the lack of thumbs and nimble fingers.

Appearance: Rich Black fur covers her skin, this makes her hard to spot at night and when in dimly lit areas. She is rather small and light for a gambolt, but this allows her to be agile and quick.

WWSAY: Is quick, agile, and able to move with reflexes more attuned then a human. Is naturally camoflauged, and can move without making noise. Has a vast knowledge of hand to hand combat, as well as that of a knife. Has some experiance using guns, if neccisary.

Brief Bio: Orphaned as a child, Cailean survived on her own for several years until dedicating her self to military efforts, in which she learned the skills she has now. Cailaen is intelligent, and can integrate strategys with physical skill. Her personality is rather thick skinned. She is unusually unsentimental and has shows no feeling for the opposite sex ( I didnt say she didnt feel anything... but she doesnt show it :P).

-49 years(earth)

-Raven

-I will bring with me eight small handheld fast-repeating sub-machine guns, and my bandolier for holding said guns, and ammunition for said guns. The bandolier holds the guns hidden under my feathers, two hidden under each wing, two hidden on my chest, and two on my waist that aren't hidden.

-I am 6'10", pretty muscular but nothing spectacular. I have red feathers, with a white stripe running down my back and across the tops of my wings.

-I have a personal vendetta against whoever has been killing humans recently, and I think I can do good to help fight them. I'm a pretty good shot if I do say so myself, and can hold my own in a fist fight.

-I was raised as an orphan on Earth by a man named James Alexander, he found me in a basket with two siblings of mine; we had been in an alley abandoned for days, and they had starved to death, but I was still alive. He owned an orphanage in New York City where I grew up. When I was in my last year of High School he was killed by some muggers for crack money. Since noone else knew how to run the orphanage, I took control, and had been running it for about thirty years until federal funding to us was cut about a year ago. I've seen many people come and go, most of them humans, and each one has a special place in my heart like they were my own children.
After the orphanage was closed down, I had nothing to do with my life, so started exercising and having shooting practice down at the local gun club.
About three months ago, I received notification that Thomas Rekk, one of my kids from the orphanage, was killed by these.. these... creatures.
Since then I've been waiting for my chance and looking for my opportunity to strike back. I found your open invitation for help the perfect opportunity.
Please allow me to have my revenge.

Shaki'niatu'honrusa'brisanikianitsu
Shaki for short

Age
the adult age of 1846

Gender
Female

Race
Apperators

They are Zealot like people with energy blades as weapons. What makes these people special is they can teleport short distances making their movement very fast and very effective durning melee combat. There appearence is that of a protoss but natural aura's make them blurry to any sort of natural or artificial eyes. They do not appear on radars. Their weakness its they are very vulnerable to any sort of hit. They body is very frail and can not take any sort of pain.


Equipment you will bring
Psi'blades attached on both arms, full body armor, digital all terrain map, Small ship with heavy anti-ship weapons and a space time drive


What you look like
Zealot, but to all non apperator eyes I look more like a burry smuge. Shaki is an elite Apporator, most apporators are armor less and wear rags. Shaki is encased in full armor with only her eyes showing from inside a special designed helmet for Elite Apporators. Her hands are not inside her amor as most Apporaters perfer this.

Why we should accept you
Our race is enslaved by the Taecyn overlords... The Apporator turned out to be very good at slave work for they are quick and quite numberous. A select few of us known as Blut und Elvre resisted and broke apart from the Taecyn. Most of us rouges have been hunted and killed. But we are the best of the best of the apporators and we are here to serve you.

A small biography
After the enslavement of my home planet Nokiunatinapitkunapunatis my father and mother took me to saftey. Running around the universe escaping near death situations. Fighting the Taecyn using geurilla warfare for years trying to save their race. But with very little success after Shaki's parents where killed. Wandering the universe lost an confused, Shaki still resisted her Taecyn enslavers. But finaly after losing her closest friend she and a few other of the Blut und Elvre went into hiding...hoping to find more resistance against the Taecyn, then the humans came along

Josh Flankerton
Vis'Rah read the orders over quickly and smiled as he folded them and put them into one of his pockets. Time to get transit off of this rock He thought as he packed his equipment and two spare uniforms into a pair of duffel bags as he headed for the local spaceport.
Vis'Rah walked around the spaceport headed for the private charter section away from the weapons scanners and prying eyes of custom's agents as he approached a particularly seedy looking pilot. "I'm looking for transport to Mars's Gamma Outpost, I can pay you in $12,000 local, can you do it?" Vis'Rah asked as the man looked up at him through bleary eyes and nodded running his fingers through what hair he had left on his balding head.
The man stood up and hiked up his grease stained pants that seemed a size or two too big as he motioned for Saicoby to follow him. They moved to a battered looking transport that was probably as old as it's owner but lovingly maintained. The man climbed into the cockpit as Vis'Rah tossed his stuff in the back and climbed up to the pod handing the Pilot a wad of bills as he thumbed through it to verify the amount and activated the engines warming them up while he waited for take-off clearance.
"Shade Tree you are cleared for take-off behind cargo freighter Delta Morning have a safe journey," The clearance came from the tower as the pilot watched the displays waiting for the freighter to take off. The freighter lifted off of its pad and the Shade Tree wasn't far behind blasting off on well maintained engines reaching the edges of the atmosphere in moments and setting the coordinates for Mars's Gamma outpost as the ship lept off into the queit abyss on its hyperspace drives.

***12 Hours Later***

The Gamma Outpost loomed over the small ship as they docked Vis'Rah thanking the man and grabbing his equipment as he disembarked the ship adjusting to the slightly higher gravity of the station. Vis'Rah rented a set of quarters and wandered the station looking for a way to identify the man who had sent out the summons.....Josh Flankerton.

Jack, The Dashing…
“Dashing to his new job”

“Get up Jack. You have a ship to catch. Be on it in 1 hour. It’s headed to the Mars colony. If we get word that you have not boarded that freighter we will not be so nice to you this time. Am I understood?”
Jack, Rubbing one of the many bruises he had acquired jumped up grabbing his bags. “Yes Sir.” Snapping a salute just before being smashed in the ribs. “I work for a living boy, you best be going.” Jack gets back up (a common occurrence?) and heads back out to the door. “O’ Jack?” “Yes?” “Diana’s Daddy says hi.” Jack proceeds at that point to do what jack does best. He dashes. Right out the front door. “Maybe this job will do me a bit of good, get my head straight. <pause> naw.” And he runs up to a guy just getting ready to take off on his motorbike. “Excuse me?” The guy turns around just as Jack hits him with a flying kick knocking the man off the bike, and out cold. “Can I borrow your bike? <pause> thank you.” And he speeds off following the directions he was given. He3 arrives 35 minutes later at platform 9 ¾’s. Grabs his stuff of it, and ditches the bike. “This better let me get my krap on board.” He says as he makes his way up to the teller. Two armed men dressed in black await his arrival. “Welcome Mr. Smith.” Says one of the men. He instinctively ducks as he says yes. “Come this way please.” They turn and lead him down to the end as he reluctantly follows. “The Agency would like to offer its condolences on the loss of your family members and A Mr. Smith sends his most heart felt well wishes. You understand I am only following orders right Jack?” Jack has just enough time to say yes before they knock him out…

“Jack awakens in a room. He looks out to see the mars landscape and a note on his desk. He looks around to see that the rest of his gear is with him. Rubbing his head he gets up muttering to himself. “Note to self. Run a background check on any women I want to sleep with.” He grabs the note that reads “Welcome to Mars Mr. Smith. Hope you trip was pleasant.” He grumbles to himself as he tosses the note to one side and heads out the door. Once outside he realizes something and pulls out his 'orders'

"O krap, now i have to get to the base?" he heads out looking for the nearest transport. he finds it an hour later and after some negotiating with the female captain he gains passage. exactly three hours later and a ripped shirt hanging from him he exits the chip. "come back and dash me anytime Jack." comes the vioce from the captains quarters. He waves back and thanks her for the wonderfull time. "well, that didn't last long." says Jack as he wanders over to someone to ask directions. They point him in the right direction and he gets to the conference room an hour later straightening up his clothes and carrying a bottle of Scotch in one hand, an glass in the other. He finds a good chair to sit in and gets comfortable. "I haven't shaved in a week." He says to himself. " I must look like a sight for sore eyes. wonder what this group of merry men will look like?" and then he falls asleep.......

After sating his little wander lust Vis'Rah finally received more detailed instructions and headed for the conference room. It appeared he wasn't the first one there however as he noticed a man sleeping in one of the chairs with a scotch bottle nearby. Vis'Rah smiles as an idea occurs to him always on the lookout for mischeif while off-duty. He quickly swipes a marker from a secretaries desk and draws a pair of glasses on his face, and a drool like stain coming from the corner of his mouth, pressing very lightly so as not to disturb the mans slumber, and then sits down at one of the chairs waiting for the little meeting to begin so he could get some answers, and hopefully targets.

Cailean
Gambolt
Terminal - Earth
****

Cailean shoved her meager possesions in a small briefcase, not bothering to lock it. She wouldnt be using the public subway, anyways. Ever since Gambolts immagrated to Earth two hundred years before, most humans found the idea of a talking cat rather absurd. This lead to racial prejiduce, which caused complications and a feeling of ackwardness that most Gambolts experianced in public areas.
Yes, a private terminal would do. The guards were lax, and didnt normally check bags, which was a good thing. A knife wouldnt go over too well.

Cailean inserted her ID card into the pod. She pressed a few buttons, and her card popped out soon later. A message flashed across the screen
Private Terminal #34
Destination: Gamma Outpost
Time of Flight: 1300
Date of Flight: March 21st 2480 AA
Purchase total: 500 credits

Long ago, buisnesses stopped using human tellers, as they were known to make many mistakes. They were replaced by computer pods, which were more efficiant, and allowed things to be purchased from anywhere in the galaxy.

1200 hours. Cailean rode a transport vehicle from the residential complex to the terminal, luckily, there were few people around. The vehicle began to slow , and a lound mechanic voice echoed off the flat walls;
Now approaching Jefferson Terminal. First stop, private terminals.

The vehicle skidded to a stop, and a few humans were thrown off balance. Cailean fought off a smile. She stepped out of the transport on four legs, It kept her invisible to most eyes. She rounded the corner to a long hallway, and found small corridor #34. Cailean placed her card into the slot, and a door slid open in front of her, revealing a small compartment with four polished metal seats.
figures. built for a human, she sighed. Cailean spread uncomfortably over three chairs.
The whirr of the electric motor started up, and a clock lit up above the door.
00:30
A mechanical voice once again rang out;
Thirty minutes to arrival.
Cailean sighed, and closed her eyes.


ooc- I'll finish later.

Cailean
Gambolt
Gamma Outpost
****
You have arrived at Gamma Outpost.
Cailean blinked. The trip seemed unusually short. She jumped off her chair, and stretched, feeling fatigue. The doors to her right slid open with a hiss, and she walked through as they closed behind her.
The doors of the air lock remained shut. There was a small slot in the wall, and a red light above. Cailean pulled out her ID card, and slid it in. The light immediatly turned green, the doors opened, and a gust of warm air rustled her fur. Everything was white, and there were handrails on all the walls. Cailean stepped through, and looked around. It smelled strongly of ammonia, and to her left, a small window portrayed a spectacular view of mars. Cailean stood on two legs, to get a better look.
Beautiful, isnt it?
Cailean turned around. A man wearing a white jumpsuit smiled mechanically.
You must be Cailean? Come this way.


Cailean
Gambolt
Gamma Outpost
***
Cailean stood upright, with her arms at her side as to appear less of an animal. Several people were there waiting. From everyone's nervous appearance, it seemed that Josh had not yet arrived. Cailean leaned against a white wall, as the man in the jumpsuit left the room.

********************************************
A gambolt eh? They are dredging all corners of the galaxy for this team aren't they Vis'Rah thought as he stared at the creature. The man with the marker on his face was still snoozing but showed signs of waking up in the next few minutes if not sooner, as Saicoby approached the Humanoid. "My name is Vis'Rah Saicoby, Psycho to my friends, I am from Floror, who might you be young Gambolt?" He asked as he stood next to the feline and watched the room seeing the marker faced man stirring as he began to wake up.

[Nickodemus]

"you really shouldn't mess with people when they sleep. Never know what youre gonna get yaself into." Jack said as he pulled out a rag, poured some scotch on it and wiped it off. "Names jack, whats yours?" As he takes in the rest of the group he pours himself another drink. "Well?" and then sticks his boots up on the table awaiting the reply.

[Markpyro]

"My name is Vis'Rah Saicoby, Psycho to my friends, I am from Floror, who might you be young Gambolt?"

I am Cailean. I have lived on Earth my whole life, you could say, that Is where I am from.
Cailean stood high on her back limbs, to make sure he understood that they were of equal rank.
It'll be interesting working with a cat
Cailean blinked, his words striking a nerve.
I am no animal... Cailean turned her paw over, and extended her claws. She looked up into the elve's eyes, which were taken aback,
...but I can be just as fierce.
The elve's face turned deep maroon, and his lips quietly formed the word "sorry".
Heh. Cute, she thought.
Cailean retracted her claws, and put her paw on his shoulder.
It's alright... The elve seemed relieved.
...And it will be interesting working together. I like you, Cailean said with a hint of smugness in her voice. One could not tell if she was sincere or joking. The gambolt softly shoved Vis'rah's shoulder, and walked away while the elf stood with a look of disbelief.

(ooc: sorry for picking at your character, RF, but I wanted to have some fun :) )

"...And it will be interesting working together. I like you," Cailean said as she sauntered off giving Vis'Rah a quick shove.
"you really shouldn't mess with people when they sleep. Never know what youre gonna get yaself into. Names Jack, whats yours...............Well?" The man named Jack said waking up and pouring himself a drink while rubbing the marker off of his face. Vis'Rah turned and smiled walking to the man and taking a seat next to him extending his hand.
"Vis'Rah Saicoby, I'm the one responsible for for your little marks there, I couldn't resist the opportunity was too perfect. My specialty is long range and infiltration, yours?" Vis'Rah asked as the man took his hand and introduced himself.

From: The UCPH Leader, General Josh Flankerton

Subject: Opening Orders

Hello.

I am glad that you all accepted my call so quickly. I look forward to meeting you all. I request you all to meet me on the Gamma Outpost orbiting Mars. I will be there until your arrival, and then I will brief you, and send you on your way.

I hope you have a safe journey here.
Josh Flankerton]

I read the message that had come for me while I slept in my perch, and had to read it two or three times over before it clicked in my mind.
I didn't think I would be picked to be on the team, looks like I was wrong.
The message had said to meet at the Gamma Outpost on Mars. I had never even been out of the city.
I went over to my closet and got my equipment, and put it in a small bag.
I grabbed the bag, and walked over to the window. I opened it and looked outside. It was a sunny day, with a slight breeze blowing. I looked down to the ground 6 stories below and saw some kids playing in the street. Today was going to be fun.
I jumped out the window and took flight toward the transit station a few blocks away. On my way there I noticed an unsual number of cars in the street, usually there are only a few but I saw at least 20 of them!
Anyways, I got to the station and got on the next transport to the Gamma Outpost. I walked down the isle and felt crowded immediately. I picked a window seat so I could see the open air outside.
Suddenly the transport took off, and out my window I saw the earth fall further and further behind, I realized I was going into space for the first time in my life! I know it's not exactly a rare thing or anything, but I had never had a chance before that. As we left the atmosphere I realized... There's no air in space. I looked out into the starry darkness and held down a cry of sheer terror. Maybe it wasnt going to be that fun of a day after all.


About a half hour later, the transport reached Mars. I got off as quick as I could into the transit station there. I exited and made my way to where I was supposed to be meeting the others. I walked into the room in the middle of a conversation. A gambolt turned to look at me, "Who are you?" she asked.
"Blaze Victom," I replied, "I'm here to do what I can to help. Who are you?"

"Well great. This ought to be fun. I'm working with a nutjob, and a kittie. I am good at many things to wich if the time is right you will see. Suffice to say I am here to add my services to the mix." Psycho looked at him with a puzzled look. "well here, let me show you a little of what i can do. < He holds up his hand and then reaches into his pocket pulling out psycho's papers and wallet. "You might want these if we leave here. "And the kittie might want this." He pulls out a bag of catnip. "here ya go." And he tosses it at the kittie who looks rather disgusted at the whole affair. "So, we have a newbie who joined us i see. Jack looks over toward him and about looses it. "Wow, no one thought this through i see? We have birdman and a cat. lovely. Now wheres the boss? and our last party member?" He chuckles to himself and takes another drink. "O' and by the way NO i don't do that to friends so you can count on my promise that it will never happen again. My word is bond."

"O' and by the way NO i don't do that to friends so you can count on my promise that it will never happen again. My word is bond." Jack said as Saicoby thumbed through his wallet and made sure everything was still there.
"Not bad for a sleeping man, and I guess I kinda deserved that one after my little prank." Vis'Rah said as he moved down the table watching the door waiting for the last team member to show up. Vis'Rah unsheathed one of his knives and began sharpening it while he waited, Cailean and the Raven were talking in the corner and Jack appeared to be sleeping again things had quieted down since Jack emptied his pockets. Vis'Rah sheathed the first knife and began work on the next one as the time ticked away.

(ooc..sorry all...I havnt got much time right now because I am at my bf which i spend the past couple nights...We are just about to go out but I just want to keep you informed...You can start and I will have my character intercept you guys in space perhaps in mid battle saving your asses)

(OOC: Not a problem. Real life can be a bother for us all, but it takes prevalence over the internet ;)
I'll have your character meet us at the first destination.)

Josh watched from his office as the team arrived and were gathered into the meeting room. He thought the group would be able to work good together, as they were getting along quite well as it was.

Turning in his chair, he was back facing his desk. He picked up the dossier on each of the team members, studying them again.

First he read was Jack the Dashing. Josh chuckled at the name. From the way he looked when he arrived, he was far FROM dashing. Shaking his head, he continued onto Vis'Rah. The elf seemed to have a good background, and had a warrior look about him.

Next up was the Gambolt. Josh always marveled when he saw these majestic creatures in combat. Judging from the dossier, she had decided to bring edged weapons. Knowing Gambolts, she could most likely eliminate a threat before it knew she was there, thus edged worked better than guns.

The Raven was next. 8 guns. Josh chuckled. This was the group's tank. This Raven would draw any hostiles to the others in the group. Nodding, he moved onto the last dossier. Shaki, the Apperator. Enslaved by the Taecyn. This was a new race. He would have to keep an eye on this one. Not that he didn't trust her, but to see how this species worked in battle. Since the Apperator race was previously enslaved, it was worth a guess that there were still Apperators who were enslaved, and thus would be a threat.

He turned around again and looked at the viewscreen to the meeting room. The group was getting antsy, but appeared to be getting along. Josh heard a knock at his door and he said firmly, "What is it?"

The door popped open and a female stuck her head in, saying, "General Flankerton."

Josh turned to see his secretary peeking around the door. He waited patiently for her to say what she was going to say. She continued, "We just received a transmission from a...Shaki?"

Josh recognized the name as the Apperator. He said, "Yes? Continue please."

She nodded and said, "There appears to be a problem. She is in..Zeta Quadrant, Sector 94.3, and she seemed to have a bit of trouble with her ship, so she had to land it at Ectar VII."

Josh smiled. He stood up and walked toward the secretary, saying "Excellent. Reply to Shaki saying to stay where she is. The rest of the team shall be along in due time."

The secretary walked out of the room, followed closely by Josh. Since Shaki wasn't able to make it, he would be able to go brief the team that was already here.

Walking through Gamma Outpost, Josh emanated deadline. Everyone knew to stay out of his way when he walked around the Outpost, and today wasn't any different.

Josh walked into the Meeting Room and saw the four team members waiting patiently. Josh said, "Greetings. I am General Josh Flankerton, Head of the UCPH. I am glad that you so readily answered my call."

The four stood and looked at Josh, who said, "Please. Sit back down. You all look tired."

The four sat back down around the table, and Josh took his position at the head of the table. He started, "Now, as you all know, there has been an...increase in the amount of human deaths in present times. Most of you have heard the prophecy, I won't doubt, so I won't go into any detail about them. I do hope you realize that this mission WILL be dangerous, and as such, I will ask. If you want to back out, do so now."

Josh looked around the table, and didn't see much movement. Nodding, he said, "Good. You are a good team after all. Now your first objective is to get to Ectar VII. Firstly, because the 5th of your team is there. Her...ship experienced some trouble, and she was forced to land there. Not that this is a bad thing. We have gotten word from Ectar VII that there have been sightings. These sightings are of an as yet unknown nature, but the descriptions do not match any currently in the database. As such, your first objective will be to get to Ectar VII and investigate this unknown species. We do not know the nature of this species, so until we know for certain, we are holding it as hostile. This is enforced by the increase of killings in the area."

Josh pushed a button on the table in front of him, and the room dimmed. A hologram appeared in the center of the room of a planet. This planet was densely covered in lush vegetation. On one side, however, was a massive crater. Josh said, "Ectar VII is a tropical planet. The crater was caused millions - if not billions - of years ago, and has since become a metropolis. There is a dome over the metropolis, as to keep the tropical animals out of the city. You will be going here," A red dot appeared on the hologram, "That is where your fifth team member is currently being accomodated. Then, from there, you will go here," A green dot appeared close to the red one, "This is where you will receive further information about your mission. Any questions?"

[Markpyro]

Cailean
***
Cailean looked up, seeing a man with feathers all over his body. Apparently, his name was Blaze. Cailean had never seen a raven before, and his appearance was strikingly odd. Cailean wondered whether the large wings folded on his back could really lift him into the air.
Nice to meet you. Cailean said. Just after the raven nodded in response, a man came into the room.
"Greetings. I am General Josh Flankerton, Head of the UCPH. I am glad that you so readily answered my call."

[WarBrood]

Shaki
Apporator
Starting post
**********

<Set quadrants to 129.75 334.88 Cardinal> Shaki voice did not physically sound yet her computer recognized the words, see apporators do not have a mouth to speak from and all forms of communication are done telepathically. Skaki's ship the well known Cardinal, well only well known to Taecyn patrols is equipped with an artificial intelligence drive allowing it to receive telepathic messages. That is what makes this ship one of the most unique ships in the universe.

All monotone voice rang out, "coordinates set to mars, sol. Estimated time of arrival fourteen hundred hours. Activating scape/time drive.....3....2....1" A gas emited from the front controls putting Shaki to sleep to ensure safety during the flight. As Shaki's eyes closed the space around her was nothing but a bright white.

"Alert, Alert, Alert, Alert....." Shaki's eyes slowly opened to the continuing sounds coming from Cardinal, "Alert, Alert....." Shaki quickly sat up and looked at the control panel that was suddenly full of flashing lights everywhere

<Cardinal enough with the alerts, tell me what is wrong>

The monotonous sound coming from the dash ceased and Cardinal responded "We where pulled out of space/time warp by a group of deflector ships. I felt it would be able to quickly defeat the threat with the anti-ship blasters."

<And that didn't do the trick?>

"No, well yes the deflector ships where destroyed but it seemed they also had a cloaking drive on them and upon destroying the deflector ships a whole squadron of Taecyn destroyers (Large ship destroyer class ships pact with shield distruptor cannons and hull breaching missiles) appeared."

<A whole squadron?>

"Well a little more then a squadron, about 26 destroyers, and in front of them stood 18 Apporator Siege ships (Large ships meant to carry hundreds of soldiers to invade planets, the hull of the ship is surrounded with 25 disrupter cannons.) I was given orders to surrender but your programming would not allow me to."

<So what did you do?>

"What you programmed me to do. I opened fire."

<YOU OPENED FIRE ON A SQUADRON OF TAECYN DESTROYERS? AND WE ARE STILL ALIVE!!!! Wow that must of been some good flying on your part!>

"Not really. The first shot on the destroyer did nothing but allow them to open fire on us. Within seconds out shields where destroyed and hull breached."

<And we live to tell the tale?>

"Well considering the deflectors where destroyed I was able to enter space/time again and quickly get us out of there"

<And where are we now?>

"Well you see the hull breach was right on target with our ups (universe positioning system) and knocked it out."

<So you are saying you have no idea where we are?>

"Not at all, that planet there is Ectar VII"

<So if you know where we are can't you get us to sol?>

"Not without a working ups system. I could repair it along with the hull breach."

<Then what are you waiting for...fix it>

"There is another problem"

<What is it?>

"Without given proper time to re-enter space/time I had to burn all out fuel reserve, we are coasting on no fuel"

<Great...what information can you get me on Ectar VII?>

"Opening planetary database......opening Ectar VII......Ectar VII is a tropical planet hosting 150398990 species and which 39503 are deemed hostile.....none more hostile then the sentinal species named Narwalks, these ape like mammals are advanced such like humans in the late 20th century......Recent developments, there appears to be a unknown mining establishment on the lower western hemisphere. They are mining a rare mineral Cerium which is used in heat-resistant alloys."

<Who would want Cerium?>

"Perhaps to make metals in which lasers cannot penetrate?"

<That must be it. What information can you get me on the mining operation?>

"It seems that the operation is relatively new... The work force is seems to bet unrecorded. And no sign of hostilities.)"

<Great... I remember the last time I had to fight a Kansar, nearly took my head off.>

"Any further information required?"

<Yah actually, Can you give me more information on these Narwalks?>

"The Narwalks all live in a large city called Karworis, as though some tribes to live in the forest 94% of all Narwalks live inside the dome of Karworis, population estimated one billion."

<Great take us down there and see if we can get any reservation inside the city>

"At once"

<Oh and while we are descending would you mind sending a trasmition to the humans? Tell them where we are and ask for help>

Cardinal sent the message and entered the planet of Ectar VII.

As everyone looked at the general he simply spoke up "Well, I supose you have that whole get us to the green planet thing figured out huh?

That is of course unless we use one of them time/slip/whatchamacallits....."

(OOC: Well, the Taecyn mining establishment is going a bit far me thinks. Remove all references to Taecyn and guard status (like Apparator slaves etc), but change it to mining facilities of unknown origins. I hadn't originally planned that, but I'll work it in, don't you worry. Excellent opening post, however. Just change that little bit, and it should be fine.

Everyone else, I'll be moving this along in about a day. Ask whatever questions you can, and I'll make one post later. If there aren't many questions, then I'll move it along tonight at Midnight EST. Sorry for the slow start, but it'll get faster later on ;))

"I'm going to have to agree to that point, what transportation do you have for us, seeing as we are all carrying weapons that wouldn't look good on a commercial craft." Vis'Rah piped up as his mind rolled over the briefing information. I'll have to get some camoflauge more suited to the jungle Saicoby noted to himself as the General took the questions in and prepared to answer them waiting to see if there was anything else so as to get them all in one sweep.

-----------------------------------------------
"Nice to meet you," said Cailean.

I nodded in response, and turned to meet my other new teammates, when the door behind me opened and a man walked through.

"Greetings. I am General Josh Flankerton, Head of the UCPH," he said, "I am glad that you so readily answered my call."

We stood up, and he said, "Please. Sit back down. You all look tired."

We sat back down at the table, and Josh joined us. "Now, as you all know," he said, "there has been an...increase in the amount of human deaths in present times. Most of you have heard the prophecy, I won't doubt, so I won't go into any detail about them. I do hope you realize that this mission WILL be dangerous, and as such, I will ask. If you want to back out, do so now."

As he said that I couldn't help but think about Thomas and all those other innocent lives lost.
I don't care how dangerous it is, i thought, they need to be stopped before it's too late.

"Good," Josh continued. "You are a good team after all. Now your first objective is to get to Ectar VII. Firstly, because the 5th of your team is there. Her...ship experienced some trouble, and she was forced to land there. Not that this is a bad thing. We have gotten word from Ectar VII that there have been sightings.

Josh pushed a button on the table in front of him, and the room dimmed. A hologram appeared in the center of the room of a planet. This planet was densely covered in lush vegetation. On one side, however, was a massive crater. Josh said, "Ectar VII is a tropical planet. The crater was caused millions - if not billions - of years ago, and has since become a metropolis. There is a dome over the metropolis, as to keep the tropical animals out of the city. You will be going here," A red dot appeared on the hologram, "That is where your fifth team member is currently being accomodated. Then, from there, you will go here," A green dot appeared close to the red one, "This is where you will receive further information about your mission. Any questions?"

"I have a question," I said. "How are we going to be getting there? Will you be providing transportation? Because I don't know about the rest of the team but I sure as hell don't have enough money for my own ship. Hell, this is my first time off of Earth."

[Vhaeraun]

Josh stood there and awaited the questions. Seemingly, they are all concerned with the mode of transportation.

Josh raised a hand after The Raven asked the exact same question that was asked twice before. He said, "Do not worry about transportation. I didn't provide transportation for you to get here, as I had no idea where you all would come from - plus it would get a bit expensive on my part to charter 4 different space liners. Now that you are here, however, we have the transportation issue covered. If you would follow me...."

Josh walked out of the meeting room and was followed by the 4. The motley crew of the UCPH was on its way to the hangar.

---------------

After a 20 minute walk through the facility, they entered the outer hangar bay. There were 4 pods in the room, 2 on each wall. Josh walked up to a control panel and punched in a few commands. He turned and said, "UCPH Investigation Team Alpha, say hello to your new uniforms."

Upon those words, the pods opened to show a clean black outfit, with the individual team member's names stitched into the left breast. Josh said, "Made out of speciality cloth directly from Zulanmet, these uniforms are airtight to your individual bodies - yes, Blaze, they will even accomodate your wings, and it will accomodate your tail Cailean. The cloth will not interfere with your flying abilities, either. Being airtight, you can include a helmet that allows you brief stints in Zero-Grav environments. I realize that you may not like the uniform idea, but until we have a better idea on what kind of method these "bounty-hunters" use, these are for your own protection. Please find your uniform and put it on. Vis'Rah, I notice you already have a uniform not unlike the one you are being issued. I would suggest you leave it with us and we can have it stitched with your name and we can send it to you when we get the chance."


(OOC: A bit short this time I've noticed. Post what was going through your mind as you followed me (not knowing where you were going, of course). Post your thoughts to the uniforms, and put them on and say what you think after. Have fun describing your character reactions, as I'll move the story along again in about 23 hours (At Midnight EST). Until then, you've got free reign to post reactions/interactions with each other/others in the Outpost. I know it's starting out slow, and I'm spoon feeding you along. But I'll be opening it up and letting you do whatever later on)

[Markpyro]

LordQuimbley, I didnt notice your post way above

Cailean
***
As Cailean walked out of the meeting room, she boiled with anger. I am not a cat.
The group walked to the Hanger, Cailean managed to catch Jack behind. Cailean knocked him down, slashing his face. Blood seeped out, spilling over his cheeks as he was pinned to the ground.
WHAT THE HELL? Jack screamed in surprise.
I am not an animal! And I WILL get your respect, even have it to be through FEAR!
Jack blinked in shock, and in a moment Cailean was gone. Left beside him was a cloth, and he wiped the blood gingerly off his face, though it had not yet begun to clot and was still oozing from the gashes.
Cailean snuck up on the group silently, and they did not seem to notice she had gone.
Several minutes later, a seething Jack cought up with the group. The blood seemed like it had stopped flowing, but he was left with inflamed skin and large crevaces across his cheeks and nose. Blaze sniggered, and mumbled something under his breath. Jack cought him with a sneering look, and moved off to the left.
Cailean no longer walked upright, but assumed her usual four-legged position. Her back was a bit arched, tail rigid in back, but she was satisfied of the recent events.

Cailean slid into her new uniform with disgust. The material pressed down her fur, worsening the fact that she even had to wear clothes. It was also a bit stiff, and she wondered if she could move as fluently in combat.

[WarBrood]

Shaki
Apporator
Outside the city
**************
"Approaching 100 feet altitude, releasing stabalizing thrusters" A large joilt shot though the ship as Shaki entered the final steps of her descent. "Releasing landing gear. Altitude 50, 40, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 9, 8, 7..." A large whisling sound surrounded Cardinal as it air brakes through back hundreds upon hundreds of pounds of air. "...6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1...." The force of the ship hitting the ground was as if the ship weighed that of a feather. Landing sequence complete, ignitiation depressurizing bridge." Steam poured from the dash as Shaki's ears felt like imploding only for seconds before becoming normal once again. "Outside temperature is at 36 degree's celcius, Karworis is due north. Becarefull Shaki"

Shaki steped out of Cardinal and admired how complex a landing Cardinal just acomplished. Above Shaki's head stood a completly full canopy inwhich Shaki could not even see an opening for her ship to get through, in fact she could not even see the sky above the canopy. A rustle in a near by bush took her eyes of the canopy and shot at a medium sized mammal. The animal appeared to be a cross between a wolf and a bear, its spine shot out it back as it remained hunched. Large claws rested on its four paws and its teeth seemed to be able to tare into metal. The animal raised its head up and let out a nerve twisting howl and within seconds four more appeared behind it. Their mouths drooled at the sight of Shaki as they slowly approched her.

<Easy now, you do not want to attack me. I am not your enemy.>

It was pointless as the wolfbears continued their approch towards her.

<I am not your enemy. Do not attack me.>

One leaped as Shaki quickly apporated behind it and it flew into a solid tree that was behind where shaki once stood. The rest sprung. With quick thinking Shaki apporated leaving the wolfbears to collide into each other. Large psi-blades emerged shooting out of Shaki rist gaurds into large swords. Shaki dodgily ducked one of the wolfbears as it jumped at her face. While it was in mid-air Shaki sliced through it with her psi-blade cutting it in half. The rest of the wolfbears looked in awe seconds before scammpering deep into the forest.

Now according to Cardinal, Karworis was not to far away and due north. Picking up for lost time Shaki started a quick Apporation run towards the city. Withing minutes she stood outside the gigantic dome surrounding the city. Slowly walking towards it to see if she could safetly walk through Shaki quickly found out she couldn't. A large electric shock blew her back ten yards sliding into the dirt. hmmm perhaps I could just apporate inside The effort quickly showed to be futal as even her apporation was prevented by the dome. I guess I just walk around untill I find an entrance then And Shaki began her walk.

((occ Vhaeraun as you see in my previoius post I made the changes you requested, if anything else needs to be changed I will gladly comply))

----------------------------------------------------
I followed Josh out of the room and we started our ambling walk towards the hangar. After we started, I heard a muffled thump behind me. I turned and looked and saw Cailean on top of Jack in what seemed like an attack position.
My eyes went wide.

Oh god, I thought to myself, terrified, Is she killing him?

I turned away and faced forward, purposely not looking back as to not see what was happening.
Cailean returned to the group, and I noticed a faint smell of blood on her. I felt a shiver run down my spine and my feathers stood straight out. I continued following the group, wide eyed with fear of the Gambolt walking next to me, questioning her sanity and my own safety, and not being able to do anything but focus on my feet as I walked.

A little while later Jack caught up with the group, and his face was cut open but had stopped bleeding.
I let out a nervous laugh and mumbled, "I'm not gonna die after all.."

Releived, I looked up and realized we were in the hangar. The ceilings were very high.

Josh walked up to a control panel and punched in a few commands. He turned and said, "UCPH Investigation Team Alpha, say hello to your new uniforms."
Four pods around the room opened and uniforms were inside them.
Uniforms? I thought, Will I even fit in one?

"Made out of speciality cloth directly from Zulanmet, these uniforms are airtight to your individual bodies," said Josh, " - yes, Blaze, they will even accomodate your wings, and it will accomodate your tail Cailean.The cloth will not interfere with your flying abilities, either."

Although my fears had been reassured, I still didn't like the thought of being contained in a spandexy mesh cage made specificaly to fit my body.
I went over to the one that was obviously mine, with the large area for wings on the back, and looked it over.
I looked around and saw everyone else was putting their uniforms on without question, so not wanting to be the odd one out, I put mine on.

My first thoughts were of panic; that I was being smothered. The meshy surface of the suit pressed against me, and it seemed like I was being crushed.
I hated it.

I looked around and from the look on Cailean's face, she felt the same. I went over to her.
"I hate this uniform," I explained, "What about you?"
<Tag MP and anyone else who wants to join the conversation>

Cailean
***
Hell yes. These damn things were made for humans, not us.
Blaze nodded, fiddling with his suit. Cailean shuddered, and took a deep breath. As her chest expanded, the suit constricted. Cailean, with instinctual reaction, tugged at the uniform furiously. Slowly she calmed down, but her frustration amassed.
are they TRYING to suffocate us? Cailean muttered ferociously. (sp?)
I know how you feel, Blaze said, agitated as well.

Nearby, Jack was standing infront of Josh, fiddling with his gun and trying to impress him. Meanwhile, Josh sat there looking disgusted and managed to immerse himself in helping someone else.

He pisses me off. Cailean bursted out, though out of Jack's hearing range. Blaze nodded uncommitally, then said,
What did he do? Cailean knew he was reffering to her attack on Jack.
Apparently he considers me a "kitty".

[Nickodemus]

Jack, now really in an unhappy mood.

"See Josh, now I am really pissed off." He puts away his guns and waited making small talk with him and Vis'Rah. Just as Cailean was putting his new uniform on he swung around and threw a dagger at him, catching his two companions in amazement. The dagger hit the cat hard, hilt first in the back of the head sending him to the ground. IN seconds Jack was on top of the cat as he was trying to get up. "I would stay there for now Kittie." Cailean was laying there looking up at him with fire in his eyes and a cutlass against his throat. "I didn't really hurt more than your pride. Now if you had listened to my voice you would have known i meant no disrespect. But now its become your nickname. We are considered even as of now, please do not make me kill you." he got up and let the cat stand. Keeping an eye on him as he did. when the cat was up he put away his sword and turned from him to continue hiis convo with the elf.(tag raging)



<occ> Tagg everyone else.lets have our leader break this up K. or someone else. then continue on... <grin> fun. fun. fun.

Vis'Rah Saicoby
Elf
Gamma Outpost Hangar
************************************************** ******
Vis'Rah followed Josh closely looking around and marveling at the simple complexity of human technology as they reached the hangar. Jack had reached the group lagging behind a little with cuts on his face that looked like claw marks. Take five freelancers put them together and what do you have? A really really shitty family vacation. I may end up space vac'ing both of them if they keep this shit up Vis'Rah thought amused as he realised that they had reached their destination.

"UCPH Investigation Team Alpha, say hello to your new uniforms." Josh said making another few comments about the similarity to his own, and the flexibility for others. "If I'd known we'd be gettin free personalized clothes I would have signed up earlier," Vis'Rah said stripping out of his current uniform and handing it and his clothes duffel to Josh to have his men refit as he put on the new one, liking the feel and re-attaching his belt.

He was talking to Jack when he suddenly whirled and tackled Cailean taking her/him? off guard and speaking angeredly. When he was done Cailean was staring daggers and looked ready to rip Jacks face off. Jack walked back and Vis'Rah smiled clucking his tongue. "Now don't make me separate you two, because I swear I will pull this spaceship over and give you both a whoopin' if you don't calm down," He said loudly catching a grin from the Raven who's name he still didn't know and an embarrassed/angry look from both Jack and Cailean as Josh just sunk his head probably wondering what he'd gotten himself into.

[Tag, and down boy save the killing for the bad guys :-P]

[Nickodemus]

"Yes daddy." came the reply from Jack who Imediately broke out laughing. After getting on his suit and attaching all the stuff he wore with it he was ready to go. "So, how long ya think its gonna take to get there?" still laughing at the last days activities.

Shaki
entering the city
************

Shaki watched for roughly an hour as men entered and exited a entrance carved into the dome. The entrance appeared to be heavely guarded by about twenty Narwalks all armed to the teeth. Easy does it, do not appear hostile and no harm will come. Slowly Shaki emerged from the trees and walked towards the guard post. When their eyes caught her guns rose and aimed at all the kill spots. <I am not your enemy>
"Who said that?" One of the narwalk guards spun around looking at the other guards.
<It is me, the one who you are all aiming at>
"Who are you?"
<I am here investigating the disapearance of the human kind>
"You are no human"
<I am a Apporator, my race has been enslaved. I am in servitude to the humans.>
"I dont believe you! You are like the rest of the travelers trying to get through"
<Tell me about the other travelers>
"I can't! The only people who saw them lay dead as the travelers wouldn't take no for a answer"
<I am not like them, I bring no weapons>
"Check it for weapons" Narwalks swarmed around Shaki patting her down. When one hit her psi-blade a great beam of light emerged. Suddenly Shaki found herself on all fours with a huge pain in the back of her head as one of the guards seeing the psi-blade nailed her with the butt of his gun.
"If you bring no weapons what do you call that?"
<It is part of my autonomy such as your claws are part of yours>
A large roar filled the air sending Shaki into shock. "HOW DARE YOU SPEAK OF OUR CLAWS! We Narwalks are ashamed of out primative nature and you dare bring it up stranger. Do you know not of the temper of a Narwalk. Your crimes against my kind will be paid in full. The Narwalk raised his gun a steped over to Shaki and rested the point right on the top of her head "Now you die non-human" His fingure slowly applied pressure on the trigger. Shaki was saved as another Narwalk came running and knocked the gun out of the guards hand.

"HOW DARE YOU SAVE THIS NON-HUMANS LIFE TRAITOR!"
"I am no traitor! I just received a message from a General Flankton, he is human, telling us to protect and not harm this creature. Says she is in one oh his."
The guards looked down at Shaki, "You shall live non-human. Never speak of Narwalk claws again."
The messenger Narwalk took Shaki's hand and lead her away, [b] "I organized a group of guards to protect you, they will lead you to your quarters.

[Vhaeraun]

Josh watched the two go at each other, and saw the elf Vis'Rah attempt to stop them both. Chuckling to himself, he said, "Now now. No need to get fiesty on each other. Humanity needs you all to live until this mystery is solved. What you two do to each other after that....well, that's up to you. But until said time, you are under my orders. As such, you will not injure each other anymore."

Looking around, he saw everyone was dressed. Nodding, he said again, "Good. You all are ready. Follow me please."

Josh turned and walked into the main hangar bay. Inside was a massive craft. The only way to describe it was large and sleek. Jason said, "This is the USS Brendenberg. One of the first deep space cruise liners we built. This baby will get you to Ectar VII within 10 hours, if conditions are good. Please approach the craft."

Josh watched the four approach the craft, hanging back. When they got close to the craft, Josh turned and walked back into the outer hanger bay, closing the door behind him.

The pilot, meanwhile, was standing by the loading plank of the craft, looking rather bored. When the four approached, he said, "'ey. I'm Evan Knight. I shall be your pilot this evening. If you would step into the craft and take your seats, we can get outta here."

The four walked up the loading plank, and Evan followed behind. He let them choose seats where ever they wanted, and then he walked into the cockpit and began to warm up the engines.

Fifteen minutes later, the Brendenberg was drifting out of the hangar bay and set off for Ectar VII.

Vis'Rah Saicoby
Elf
USS Brendenberg
************************************
Vis'Rah sat in a seat as close to the front as possible so he could leave quickly once the ship touched down. The craft intrigued Saicoby who enjoyed its accomodations and found it to be a very comfortable flight. The size of it left him in awe wondering where so many resources came from as the craft left the bay. However as the initial awe and wonderment settled it was quickly replaced with boredom. For this he started re-sharpening his knives as he waited for the flight to end. After several minutes of this however he stood up and went in search of the Raven, so he could get to know the other member of the team in transit before they touched down. He found him and held out his hand saying "Names Vis'Rah, whats yours?"

Raven
Mars/ Boarding ship to Ectar VII
--s------------------------e------------------------------x-------------------
Josh told us to go to the nearest docked ship, the USS Brendenberg.
I went with the group and met the pilot, Evan, and continued on to board the ship.
As I entered the ship, I was worried that it would be as cramped as my last voyage, but once I got inside the Brendenberg, I realized how big the ship was. The area where we were to be seated was very spacious, and had an arched ceiling.
I went and sat down, this time in a seat not next to a window. I leaned back in my seat and closed my eyes, imagining a nice warm breeze as the ship took off.
I may have fallen asleep for a little while, but what's the difference?
Eventually, the Elven member of our team came up to me, "Name's Vis'Rah, what's yours?"
I grasped his extended hand and said, "Blaze. I like your knives."
Vis'Rah seemed amused at this, "Thanks, I bet they're a match for your two guns."
I started laughing, stretched my arms out towards my wings, and suddenly pulled guns from under my wing feathers and pointed them at Vis'Rah. "I have more than two guns though."
"How many do you have?" he asked.
I re-hid my guns in my wing feathers, and said, "Nice to meet you. But, I'd like to get some sleep before we get there."
I leaned back and closed my eyes and imagined a warm breeze...

[Nickodemus]

Jack sat next to Vis'Rah on the jouney then looking up at one of the female flight crew he turned and looked at Vis'Rah. "Well, you have fun now. See ya when we land." "Where are you going Jack?" came the reply. "Well, if ya must know I plan on spending the trip wrapped in someones arms, see ya." and with that Jack got up slapping him on the sholders as he left. Jack walked up to one of the female crew, a red head, and wispered something in her ear. She giggled and wispered back. And then they were gone. Vis'Rah looking on in amazement just shook his head and went back to what he was doing.

---- hours later -----

As they all got off the plane Jack showed up finally exiting the ramp. As he got to the bottom of the ramp a blond and a brunette both peeked there heads out of the door and said "Bye Jack. See ya soon." In unison and then blew him a kiss.



<occ> there I'm 'takin care of' lol

Cailean

Cailean sat down in a rather comfy chair far away from the other crew. She sighed, hoping the trip wouldnt take long. Her eyelids suddenly felt heavy, and a stream of warm air hit her face from a vent above. Everything became black, soft, and quiet.

"Don't you do this again man, Get up to the plate and get this going...."

He then strats to smack him repeatedly till he crys for him mommy.




We can't go any further without you.

[Vhaeraun]

(OOC: Sorry about the delay. Trying to get a few things worked out here and there. I'll try not to have such a delay again)

Evan glided the Brendenberg slowly into the hangar of Ectar VII. It settled softly, and Evan unbuckled his belt and went into the cabin area. Seeing nearly everyone sleeping. Whistling sharply, he chuckled as the group jumped to their feet, ready for a fight. He said, "Welcome to Ectar VII. The motto here is: If the mosquitoes aren't as big as your head, you ain't found the mosquitoes yet. Everybody off. I got another stop to make in this sector."

He ushered everyone off, casting a stare at Jack, but not saying anything, nor hinting as to what the stare was. When everyone got off the Brendenberg, Evan returned to the cockpit and left Ectar VII.

Outside the ship, the group was confused as to what they were going to do. Soon, however, a creature came to them. It was unlike anything they had ever seen before. To them, the only word for it was: ugly. It came up and said, "Hello. I am Thrithrandir, Narwalk guide and translator for you. If you would follow me, we can go meet with your other team member."

Thrithrandir led the group out of the hangar and to the location of the red dot they had seen on the hologram.

The group stopped in a lobby of some sort. Thrithrandir went to a wall panel, punched a bunch of numbers, and said something gutturally. Whatever it was must have been language, as moments later, a second group appeared out of a side transporter. There were two Narwalk guards and one semi-ethereal silouette.

Without anyone being able to say a word, Thrithrandir said, "Follow me please."

Thrithrandir walked out of the lobby, and the group followed. The pair of guards and the silouette followed closely behind. The group went back into the street and proceeded to the location of the green dot.


(OOC: Alright. Post your reactions and such to all this. I promise you won't have to wait too long for my next post. Until then, keep yourselves occupied with Shaki's appearance and such.)

[Nickodemus]

After finally finding Jack and issuing his friendly greet Evan ushered him out too. Jack got up and said good bye to his two companions promissing he would see them again. "What a wonderfull planet we have here." Jack said upon exiting the craft. He followed the group as they went and studied the panel intently, memorizing the sequence as he said to himself. "the sequence should be easy, but that language. That will prove a little harder. " He really didn't mind the interpretter as he had seen way uglier during his stint in the navy. He kept up an active scanning of his surroundings as they made there way not giving of any sign that he really cared at the moment....

<tag> thats all for me, come on people V's back. Q quits beating V now. <grin>

[WarBrood]

Shaki (sha-key)
Introducing herself
****************
During Shaki stay with the Narwalks it had been quiet lonley for the Narwalks enjoyed speaking in their own language which at first to Shaki sounded like a Barbaric pattern. Slowly after time Shaki started picking up on the language they speak called JJoion (he-on) and learned some words herself. It turned out the language was not barbaric at all but very socisticated. So socisticated that if you took the entire english dictionary and multiplied the words in it by ten you would still only get a fraction of JJoion language. There where over two hundreds words alone for blood. Shaki tried her best to learn this language and stived to do it as best as she could. Eventualy 'speaking' enough JJoion to hold up an intelegent conversation. It was pretty easy for Shaki to learn the language for to most it would be impossable. But Shaki is able to disipher any language in her head and have it report to her in english, but it does not work the opposite way so she must learn to 'speak' it to coorespond with the sentinant being. The Narwalks spoke much about honor and how they punish those who dishonor. They turned out to have a very complex government system inwhich the people where fully loyal to, and those who where not got executed.

Shaki stood in the doorway as the gate slowly opened revieling the rest of her team. They where of mixed races, infact no two where of the same race. The most horrifing part was the uniforms, Shaki refused to wear black, down out refused to where anything but her sacred armor. And most of the team did not look two happy to be wearing them either.

<At last we meet> Shaki said this and the rest of the team jolted as if shivers just ran down their backs. Seemed they where not to familiar with telepaths. Well all but one who just stood their normaly and spoke,

"Ahh you must be the final member, Interesting how we got an Apporator fighting for us. werent you all enslaved?"

<Please do not speak of the enslavement of my kind, it brings great disshonor to me and all like me. And yes I am the final memeber, sorry I could not make it to the original meeting but I got tired up in a firefight.>

Another member quickly said, "What are you doing in our heads?"

<Apparently you never heard of telepathy, it is the transmitting of words without the use of audio waves.>

"Well I figured it was telepathy just wondered to ask."

The original speaker responded "You said you where in a fire fight, what did you fight?"

<Now is not the place nor time to speak of such, It is a great tale and right now I do not have enough time to make jusitice on it.>

The Narwalks signaled to be followed an the team picked up their belongings and set of in pursuit.

[Nickodemus]

"Ahh you must be the final member, Interesting how we got an Apporator fighting for us. werent you all enslaved?" said Jack as he looked over the newest member... <Interesting, what do you bring to the table> he said in his head toward the telepath, not really knowing wether she could read thoughts projected at her or just send them. <You do hold a certain regard for people and stay out of there heads for the most part correct?> thought Jack. "Now who here is gonna play boss and were do ya want to go now?" said Jack aloud waiting for an answer...

Blaze Victom
Raven
Ectar VII
-----a----n---a-----l-----s-----e-----x---
I awoke to Evan's piercing whistle and nearly had a heart attack from it.

"Welcome to Ectar VII," he said, "The motto here is: If the mosquitoes aren't as big as your head, you ain't found the mosquitoes yet. Everybody off. I got another stop to make in this sector."

I quickly exited the ship, muttering about politeness ass i rubbed my ears.

Once we were off the ship, it took off and we were left wondering what was to be next.

After a little while, a very ugly creature of a kind I had never before seen walked up to us and said, "Hello. I am Thrithrandir, Narwalk guide and translator for you. If you would follow me, we can go meet with your other team member."

He turned and started walking, and we followed.

We stopped in what seemed to be a lobby. Our guide went to the wall and did something I couldn't see because of his (her? its?) mass in the way, and then let out some sort of noise that reminded me of a swamp.

Suddenly, I could see a group of beings on the other side of a transporter. I saw two Narwalks and an interesting looking creature that seemed blurry, as if I were veiwing it through a haze.

Is that an apporator? I thought to myself, I thought they were all enslaved or something?

I was about to ask if that was what it was when suddenly Thrithrandir said, Follow me please," and quickly exited the lobby in the direction of the group.

I followed him unquestioningly, as did the rest of us. The guards were close behind us, as was the blurry creature.

<At last we meet> said the Apporator in my mind. I cringed when it said this because I did not like the feeling of someone else in my mind.

Okay, now I'm sure it's an apporator, it's telepathic. I thought

"Ahh you must be the final member, Interesting how we got an Apporator fighting for us. werent you all enslaved?" asked Jack.

<Please do not speak of the enslavement of my kind, it brings great dishonor to me and all like me. And yes I am the final memeber, sorry I could not make it to the original meeting but I got tired up in a firefight.> it explained.

Cailean growled and said, "What are you doing in our heads?"

<Apparently you never heard of telepathy, it is the transmitting of words without the use of audio waves.> it replied.

"Well I figured it was telepathy just wondered to ask." said Cailean

"You said you where in a fire fight, what did you fight?" asked Jack.

<Now is not the place nor time to speak of such, It is a great tale and right now I do not have enough time to make jusitice on it.> it replied.

From what I had seen so far my impression of the apporator was a good one and I was happy to have another skilled warrior at my side, unlike that Jack fellow who didn't seem to know his head from his ass.

I stepped over towards the Apporator and extended my hand. "Let me be the first to welcome you to our little group here. My name is Blaze, what's yours?"

[Nickodemus]

Dammit V!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! were are you???? get over here now and get this going. <GRRRRRRRRRRRRR>

[Vhaeraun]

Thrithrandir led the group through the streets, drawing stares from the Narwalk in the streets. They had never seen such an important looking group before, let alone with a guard following it.

The group went into a door that appeared to lead into a hotel, but when they got inside, the group realized it was an official government building. They ascended the massive building through teleporters, all of which seemed to say that if this building was ever encroached by invaders, they would be quite hardpressed to ascend all the way to the top without being turned aside by defenders.

Walking into the highest room, Thrithrandir said, "Master Isenduil, the UCPH team has arrived."

The chair in the room turned around revealing Isenduil, who was - surprisingly - not a Narwalk. Instead, he looked more like an elf. Isenduil stood and said, "Greetings UCPH. I trust your journey fared well. I am glad General Flankerton answered my call so quickly. Please, sit down. Thrithrandir, please wait outside. You need not hear this again."

Thrithrandir nodded and left the room and the group sat down around a table. Isenduil said, "As you know, there have been various sightings around the area. We have little documentation about this species, which does not match any description within the database. We are confused as to what to do."

Isenduil looked around the table, and said, "We have few maps of outside the dome. All surveyor teams that go out either come back shaking and incoherent, or the simply don't come back at all. We have a few tasks for you."

Isenduil pushed a button and a hologram popped up above the table, not unlike the hologram that was seen by the group back on Gamma Outpost. Isenduil said, "We have the dome completely mapped out, and what little maps we HAVE of outside the dome are of the jungle 10 miles deep from the edge of the dome. Since there is not much in that area, and that we know the jungle covers most of the planet, aside from the ocean, of course, we are venturing a guess that there are no other large cities on this planet, unless they are under treetops. The only break in the trees that we know of is in the southern hemisphere of the planet. There, we have seen a mining facility which seems to be abandoned. We believe that if there is no other cities on the planet, then whatever we are seeing in our various sightings must originate from that mining facility. Any questions thus far?"

[Nickodemus]

"Hmmm" said Jack, rather amused at the process of playing in the jungle. "Do we have acces to any kinds of equipment for use outside of the dome?" and why the heck would you have an abandoned mine on another continent that you have no idea about at all? Kri-Kee man, send an assault party and or bomb it back into the ground. Thatrs the perfect place to headquarter attack parties." Jack pulled out a datapad. "I'm gonna need me some more gear." He says to himself as if no one was listening to his little rant and started typing away awaiting a response. "Well? anyone else have any questions? I'm sure the man here has a dome to run. " He kept typing as he waited for a reply....

<Tag> Yea V!!!

[Nickodemus]

Jjack muttered to himself." Need a flamerthrower, yup, a good jungle clearing flame thrower...." jack started to laugh a little." Or just some high explosives. Either way I'm gonna need some good bigger guns in case we run into trouble. <pause> Show of hands here. Who thinks we are gonna find a whole heck of alot of trouble?" Jack puts up his had while he looks around.

<tag>

[Nickodemus]

"how about a hover bike to navigate through the jungle with? I can go on a scouting mission while the rest of them make up their minds?" jack said to himself. He handed the datapad to an assistant and then asked him for a drink. the assistant looked over the list. It was the usual stuff. guns, gear, rations, more guns, larger guns, flask of wiskey, explosives, more guns. Yup the usual you would expect out of a ruffian like Jack. He smiled as the little cutie brought him a drink. "Thank you me Lady." said Jack as he stood up, kissed her hand and bowed. He then sat back down and took a swig. "damn fine ale they have here. You all should try it."

[WarBrood]

Shaki
Apporator
Ectar VII
------------------------------------
Shaki watched as Blaze stepped over towards her and extended his hand saying, "Let me be the first to welcome you to our little group here. My name is Blaze, what's yours?"

A little hesitant Shaki eventualy grasped the ravens hand. Upon contact the haze that surrounded Shaki extended to haze Blaze alowing Blaze to see that she really looked like. It was a sign for friendship in Apporator tradition to allow others to see their true self. <My name is Shaki'niatu'honrusa'brisanikianitsu, But many of inferior language call me Shaki>
-----------------------------------------------

Shaki listening intently to the mission that was being read, and when given the oppertunity Shaki did not waste time to raise her hands but simply said out <On my entery to this planet I picked up unreadable lifeforms in that mining facalty and the readings from my ship showed it in operation. Are you sure this mine is abandoned?>

[Markpyro]

Ill post tomorrow. Sorry, forgot about this :/

[WarBrood]

((DO NOT LET THIS DIE!!! come on lets get this rolling))

[Nickodemus]

I tried. I give. If this is still going when i get back to Rping then good, dont kill me i shall return.

[WarBrood]

come on v, please let this continue.

[Nickodemus]

Jakc recieved his data pad back and looked over the information. "Well, that looks good. Man, I didn't get that? O' well. " Jack then gets up finishes his drink and looks around the room. " Well, I'm going to go look over my stuff and get my final preparations ready. Pack up the ATV and wait for you all to get out there. Heck maybe i will go out and take a sweep of our area outside the base. Scratch that." jack muttered. " You all get to me on this radio." He throws a radio on the table and leaves.

[Vhaeraun]

OOC: I am back from being busy, at least for the time being. As such, I make it a point to post in here again. Also, team 2 shall now jump in.

Isenduil listened intently, then said, "We have equipment for outside the dome, but most of it is in disrepair. However, I will personally send Josh a message to get some equipment shipped this direction. As for the mine being abandoned, our latest intelligence said it was. At least, our scans didn't register any lifeforms. Are you sure the readings you received were correct?"

As he was waiting for an answer, Isenduil walk over to his desk and sent Flankerton a message asking for newer equipment for the UCPH Team.

--------------Elsewhere in the Galaxy----------------

Josh walked into his office to find a few new messages.

The first came from a Mr. Samuel Price. It seemed to be an application. Sighing he almost replied saying the help wasn't needed anymore, but he got an intuition to read the rest of his mail first.

The second mail came from a Genjo Issus. Sure enough, it was also an application. Josh almost chuckled at this.

The third came from Brittany Parkins, and it was - "Surprise Surprise," Josh thought with an audible chuckle - also an application.

The fourth piece of mail he had came from the king of Elanrod in the Phi Sector. Josh read this, and thought to himself for a while. Nodding, he knew what he would do.

He opened a new message and wrote:

To: Samuel Price, Genjo Issus, Brittany Parkins
From: The UCPH Leader, General Josh Flankerton

Subject: Opening Orders

Hello.

I am glad that you all accepted my call so quickly. I look forward to meeting you all. I request you all to meet me on the Gamma Outpost orbiting Mars. I will be there until your arrival, and then I will brief you, and send you on your way.

I hope you have a safe journey here.
Josh Flankerton


He sent the message, and then read a message from Ectar VII. Isenduil was asking for equipment that would work well in the jungle. Luckily, the suits covered that. All that he knew they would need was transportation. Nodding, he stood up and went to the Werehouse. Upon arrival, he said suddenly, "I need 5 hover cycles for transport to Ectar VII, and I need 3 suits made ASAP."

The werehouse caretender said, "5 hovercycles to Ectar VII, three suits of...?"

"Zulanmet cloth. also, I want one of them to be made for an orc, and one for a female. Stitch the names Issus, Hellripper, and Parkins into the suits of the Regular, the Orc, and the female respectively. Do you understand?"

The caretender nodded and said, "I'll get right on that, sir. Don't you worry."

Josh smiled and turned and walked away to return to his office, waiting for the newest team to arrive.


(OOC: Alright. Team 1 - Mag, Warbrood, LQ, MP, RF - doesn't know about Team 2 - skippy, Darkslayer, and GD - and vice versa. As such, I don't want either team referencing the other.

Now, skippy, Darkslayer, and GD can make their opening posts. You three can NOT come from Ectar VII, so don't even try it. As for anything else, get to the outpost as fast as possible.

That is all. Commence.)

Jack got to the door and then turned around. "Well? What the hell are we waiting for? Krap, i need a drink. Or some of his catnip."




<occ> sorry for the one line post. I'm still in it but i can't do much unless other people get off their collective butts and post. Hey maybe Zero, erm i mean Gia could join. lol

[Darkslayer633]

Name- Samuel Pryce [orc name- Sahgigoth Hellripper]

Age - 20[earth years]

Gender - Male

Race - Orc

Equipment you will bring

small battle axe however very heavy, chain mail like armor ecept it is made of carbon fiber lightweight strong and flexible, sniper rifle, dual 15 shot pistols

What you look like

young 20 year old orc, about 6'4, and only around 200 pounds. He isn't like your average orc though his skin is an off green.
He is well groomed, and has long black hair with a white stripe down the back middle. His eyes are red like the color of fire, He wears black pants and white shoes, size 18 he also wears a dogtag like chain around his neck with his orc name engraved on it. His teeth are close to human shape due to surgeries when he was 12. He is well ripped, and is extremly agile.
He has a great shot with the sniper rifle and can swing his battle axe with some trouble, however still good enough that he can use it for melee combat. He has side holsters for his pistols and his sniper rifle is contained in two parts on straps on his shins. He wears his chain mail under his t-shirt usually red with some orc marking. and his batle axe is strapped to his back.

Why we should accept you

He is a good shot with the sniper rifle as well as quick and agile, and somewhat stealthy.

A small biography

He was abandoned as a child at the age of two on a humans doorstep, and raised by Janus and Morrigan Pryce who gave him the name Samuel. The only thing that was in the basket was him, a necklace that resembled dogtags with Sahgigoth Hellripper on it and a letter written in the orcish language that can't be read by Janus or Morrgian because they don't know the language. However it says, " Take care of Sahgigoth for he is our only child, we are going to die after being thrown across time to this place where no one looks like us. We wish Sahgigoth a good life in the care of your hands." Not even Samuel can read this because he doesn't know his own language.

Hello.

I am glad that you all accepted my call so quickly. I look forward to meeting you all. I request you all to meet me on the Gamma Outpost orbiting Mars. I will be there until your arrival, and then I will brief you, and send you on your way.

I hope you have a safe journey here.

"Well, I got accepted" Samuel thought to himself
He then got up from his computer, and walked to the back room of his house.
"What should I take this time." He thought
he decided to grab his trademark weapons, dual pistols, his sniper rifle, and his axe. straped them on and headed for the door.
He walked through the colony which was huge, and smelled of a very distinctive odor. He headed for the spaceport and checked out his ship, set the autopilot to the mars gamma outpost, turned on the cryo and went to sleep.
