First Contact


  As you each move into combat, your combat computer switch off and The commanders voice/image appears in your mecha's communication. Attention vulture Teams your to report to these coordinates x, y, z, right now. Vulture shuttle is to land at these coordinates X1, Y1, z1 and get ready for a long range mission.

  Sgt. Swift looks over to Lt. Thakun, Ma'am we can be there in ten minutes. Once the order is given he begins landing operations next to the Commanders GMU. once Landed a team runs out and begins to load supplies for a month. They load Skyrah's delta fighter in Battloid mode.


  Wraith Squadron is cleared to land next to the vulture just five minutes after its lands. once landed they are instructed to make their way back to vultures cargo pods where each of the wing-mate teams are loaded.

 Banshee is quick to get back to the beta, where Michelle and Aang re-link the alpha beta and get the silverback reattached. before taking Banshee back to the vulture. When they land they can see Wraith Squadrons veritechs being reloaded into the vultures cargo pods. Once Korvan and Xavier are there they are loaded up with Skyrah's Delta fighter which is in battloid mode.

  Once each of you have disembarked your mecha or transport for those in the Beta are instructed to move to the GMU mecha hanger.

  Once you make your way up the ramp you notices chairs in six rows of ten. A white board with numbers written on it. Your each instructed to take a seat and await. The shuttle crew along with all non player character in the group take seats scattered throughout the six rows.

  The hanger is filled with a whooshing noise as the bay is filled with fresh air. A lieutenant enters followed by Ltcmdr Fell which walk in front of the white board. She looks at you for a moment before speaking. "This is a course classified and there for not to be discussed with those outside this bay. An hour ago we received a distress signal from a planet called Janus by two different forces. A Tirolian message requesting evacuation and a Zentraedi garrison requesting reinforcements to continue their fight with the Invid. But the problem we have and the reason you are being sent instead of the fleet, is this planet was a relay from the Disciple of Zor ship your team discovered. And we want to make sure it is not a trap. You will have to fold twice to make the distance and will take ten days of travel. You will depart within the hour once your ship is fully supplied and fueled. Once in orbit, Lt. Grey will dock with the Vulture with her Alpha and Beta before you make you first jump." Her gaze and expression is a serious one. "If this is a trap use whatever means to escape and prevent them from following you. If this turns out to be a real transmission for aid, then evaluate the situation and contact the fleet. We will begin operations to load the fleet just in case. But know reinforcements are ten days away and you will have to hold off till we arrive. Questions?"

"Is this to be purely reconnaissance, or, assuming it is not a trap, are we to attempt to aid the Tirolians and/or Zentraedi against the Invid, or should we observe, report, and wait for reinforcement before engaging in that case?"

  Landing her Veritech, with the others members of Wraith Squadron. She waited till Karma was finished loading her Veritech in Guardian mode before she disembarked wishing Aang good luck as he was redirected to a waiting silverback before mading her way over to her best friend.
 Her eyes keep drifting over towards Kaarle as she chats away with Karma until Ltcmdr Fell appears where she becomes serious and listens.

  After making her way up the ramp and the air circulation kicks in, she removes her power armor suit before making her way to Xavier and Thirteen. She listens intently at the quick briefing.

Ltcmdr Fell looks over to the Team leader and thought she was the perfect choice for her position.
  "This should be considered a first contact mission, recon the situation, establish first contact with the inhabitants. If they truly need assistance use your judgement on what needs to be done.  If this is a trap use whatever force nessary to keep everyone in your team alive and safe." She gives Kaarle a quick glance letting him know she wants everyone home. "As I have said you are alone out there and ten days from any attempted recuse. And Command will evaluate the situation and risk factors before they decide to send rescue. So use your best judgement."

  She then turns her attention to Skyrah; "Lt Valentine, Sgt Korvan was gonna be reassigned after the wargames Leaving you to choose a new Exo for your team. however since you have not had time to evaluate your team (GM Note: Thirteen or Xavier) to choose who you would like that position. The Commander will allow Korvan to accompany you as your Exo for this mission."

In reply to Gargoyle (msg # 6):

Kaarle settled in with the rest of his team for the debriefing.  He gave smile and a wink to Michelle when thier eyes met but otherwise it was business as usual.

As Fell carried on about the mission he couldn't help but feel a sense of dread that once again they at probably being sent into a trap.

In reply to Thirteen (msg # 8):

Skyrah watched as they loaded Albatrous onto the shuttles pod, and realized this was serious if they were going to send her with her Veritech. She would then move towards the metting area and take her seat, listening to the briefing with her full attention. "Yes ma'am." She said with a simple nod, understand the situation with Korvan. "Ma'am, I assume that I am going to be back in Mjolnir for this, based on him being loaded up, but also assume that do to my position that I will need to remain in Battloid or Guardian mode. Is this assumption correct?"

  Lt. Fell replies to Skyrah; "This mission will find Vulture team completely outside of Command. This means Cerise is responsible for the mission. And if she is killed Kaarle will assume mission command. So Cerise will need to decide how to handle this overall mission. That said you are not required by command to remain in battloid mode. Infact your ability to get a bird eyes view may aid your squad. But you should plan on staying with your squadron and leaving Wraith Squadron to their Squadron." She gives each commanding officer a look as she says that less bit.

Mirage sits next to Kaarle, and is very intent on the briefing.  She is still in her close fitting flight suit, and sits with the helmet in her lap.

She does not chit-chat.

In reply to Mirage Fallyna (msg # 11):

Kaarle nods to the Lt. Fell "understood" he said flatly.  He still wasn't keen on the fact he lost hist tactician, but it couldn't be helped.  She would continue to progress in her career,  at a far greater pace then her, and that didn't bother him.  It was by chance he was in the position he was just under Cerise and nothing more.  He had more pressing matters... figuring out how to keep his Squadron alive once the trap had been sprung on them.

Severian listened intently to what this new mission was about - the Disciples of Zor.

He knew some information, mostly conjecture. He knew that they were a splinter faction of the Masters and branded enemies and traitors by them...If indeed this was them, they may be a potential ally.

He made preparations to ready his Air Skimmer and his newly enchanted CVR-1 Armor, eager to see if the Disciples of Zor were fact or fiction.

Skyrah nodded once at what Lt. Cmdr. Fell had said. "Yes Ma'am. I have no desire to impede on Kchek or his squadron. I will allow them to do their job, and I will use Albatros to his full ability to see to the well being and leadership of Banshee."

Cocky, Silas walked into the room, and pick a random seat near the door up against the wall, he leaned back and pretended not to listen, he really wanted to see how far he could push buttons. Silas, made an outburst...

 Ma'am would it be alright if I sit this one out?

He said it in a very sarcastic tone of voice, but with a stone cold face of seriousness.
He didnt wait for an answer, he began humming a tune that nobody recognized, as well as rocking back and forth in his chair, seeming as if he were a mere child.


Well lets get this going if we are gonna do this...

As Silas his making his second Remark Commander Rockatansky Steps up behind him kicking the seat out from under him. "If you ever show the Lieutenant Commander disrespect again, I'll ground the entire squadron and I'll lock you in a cell and forget you ever existed. Do I make myself clear Lieutenant." He gives Kaarle a very displeased look as he continues to walk forward to stand beside Ltcmdr Fell.

  He looks directly to Korvan; "Master Sargent Eshta please step forward."

  Once Korvan is standing in front of you notice how massive the micronized zentraedi really is. Standing a good seven inches taller then the commander. His facial expression his normal serious look as he always appears to be on duty.

  The Commander hands him a box as he speaks; "Master Sargent, your years of loyal service to the United Earth Defense and Expeditionary Force as an outstanding marine cannot be rewarded by a means truly deserving. However with the completion of your officer training program you are here by promoted to Marine Second Lieutenant. when you return from this mission you will be given your own squadron." With that they shake hands. And Korvan gives a rare smile as he thanks the Commander.

  The Commander looks at you as a group. You are dismissed. Lt. Cherkovski and Grey I'd like a word with you too.

  He talks to Kaarle first having Lt. Grey stand off to the side. "I will let you deal with Lt. Nightshade as you see fit. Make sure this never happens again." He dismisses Kaarle after he is done.

  He talks to Michelle for several minutes before giving her a quick hug and sending her on her way.
