An Unexpected change

Mirage listens to the briefing, and when caught up by Joker she smiles and shakes her head.

"Winner buys the first round of drinks."

She watches Miriana pass, she too has little attachment to Earth.  She was space born, but planet raised.  But Earth was just a place to her, not home.

"Thakun... lacks the socialization I had."

She perks and eyebrow, turns to watch the retreating figure of Thakkun for a few minutes before looking back to Michelle.
"I don't blame her."

Re: An Unexpected change

Thirteen sees Xavier leave and tilts his head slightly to the right. He then looks towards Sillia wondering what her reaction will be like.

  Sillia watches as her mate saunters off. Shacks her head. "Have the two of you eaten yet?"

  With that she leads the young pair to the meas hall before telling them she will meet them at the shuttle in twenty minutes.

Re: An Unexpected change

Xavier meets Sillia in their tiny special atmospherics cabin. I've got all our stuff packed, and sent to the shuttle. Hope you don't mind.

He leaned in to her grabbing her waist pulling her closer to him and gave her a long passionate kiss.

Not giving her the time to react he was out the door heading to the shuttle.

Not seeing anybody else, he sat down on his luggage and waited in a meditative state.

Re: An Unexpected change

Severian heard exited the briefing absorbing what was said - mainly the humans retaking their homeworld. He found the mission interesting but was curious how his fellow human associates were feeling about the retaking of their world.

As they exited the briefing room, he decided to speak to one of them to get a feeling of what to expect.

"Excuse me", he said as he came alongside Karma Murphy. "I am curious of what we will find once we descent upon your currently occupied world - how would they react to off-worlders? Will it be a cordial affair or will we be treated with scorn or fear?"

Re: An Unexpected change

Cerise, after her command briefing, puts on a happy face and heads to her quarters, where she packs up her special light and crystal collection, which she takes to the Vulture and puts into the personal cargo area of her mech.

She sends a memo to Kaarle, Skyrah, and Miriana: "As we will be performing ground operations for a month and will have ample space there for some personal items, please instruct all members of squads and the shuttle crew to bring any important personal items with them. We may not have easy access to the Marcus Antonius, depending on ground-to-orbit supply needs, so better to bring it now than not have it. I believe such items will also be of value for smoothing interactions with the colonists."

Re: An Unexpected change

Miriana looked up when she heard the sound of her comm unit receiving a memo. Taking it out of her pocket, she accessed its contents with a few deft taps, and read it.

Shrugging, she headed to her bunk to disconnect and pack her Perfect Vision and game compilation sets. She didn't know what kind of interactions Cerise would be referring to, but had learned during leaves that a number of civilians liked games, and if that was the desired result this would be the most efficient way of attaining it.

Re: An Unexpected change


  Caught slightly off guard as Severian approached her. she give a sad but polite smile as she listens as if she might be hiding something. "I hope to find my father when we return to earth."

  She looks over towards Silas and the other pilots as they get up to exist the room. "I imagine when all the dust settle we will find ourselves returning to the fleet and the only family we really have left. But someday. I'd like to return to my ancestry home in Japan."

Re: An Unexpected change



  Eating Breakfast with the others made her smile. Finally a mission where she would not have to worry about these to filled her with some relief. When they finish. She looks at both Thirteen and Aravae; "Gather your things and get ready for a long month of boredom. And be ready for anything that could and will go wrong."



   Later when alone with Xavier Sillia smacks his face as soon as they are alone. "Don't act like that in front of the others again. I am a professional and nothing less."

Re: An Unexpected change


   Michelle was in her personal quarters packing up her play bag and her sea-bag. She knew nothing she could say would change his mind. He has a good Career ahead of him. Why does chose me over a good life.

  She throws the bag across the room screaming: "Dam them. who the fuck do they think they are giving false hope. We don't get to live a good life of peace and love. We are soldiers meant for non stop missions till we are retired. stop lying to us."

  she finally breaks down and cries for several long moments. Then like a true soldier collects herself refreshes her makeup before grabbing her bags, heading to meet up with Karma. The two secured their gear aboard the vulture before heading to their veritechs in near silence.

Re: An Unexpected change

Xavier shrugs away Sillia's anger. Professional, Xavier laughed as he said it brushing her hit off his face like he had a scratch. Why does it matter? Why does it bother you so much? It never hurts to have a little bit of fun.

Xavier gives her the passionate kiss and out the door he goes. Letting her think on such trivial matters as professionalism.

Looking back to the times hes been around Silas has made him think and realise that life is way to short to always act professional.

Yes, he thought there are times when it does matter. But to him today, today it didnt. Today, everybody should enjoy a little fun. Even if it was at their expense.

Loosen up a little will you! he shouted at her over his shoulder as he was heading to the hanger.

Re: An Unexpected change

Aravae look back at Thirteen a little wide eyed. "I have to agree. but will it be a good thing or bad?"

  she then takes his hand as she starts to pull him as she begins to run to get themselves to the shuttle. "lets race."

Re: An Unexpected change


   The shuttle crew go through the standard pre-flight operations awaiting lunch orders.
All crew members buckle in as all pilots ready themselves for emergency launch.

  Lt. Grey goes through her pre-flight on the Gambit as she ready herself to link up with the vulture before folding.


   The fold goes as planned and the next three weeks is filled with the daily boring retinue. Everyone finds something to occupy their little free time.



   De-fold commences at the far side of Toyko-3 system. All pilots are ready for rapid deployment. Cerise opens a link to the satellite over the planet. She discovers the satellite has been tampered with when it glitches several times when giving it a secondary code. She discovers something wrong.

  The crew is quickly told to battle stations and Xavier who is now the ranking Sargent and XO of Banshee Squadron reports to Skyrah that the squad is ready for action.

  A system wide scan using several hidden satellites that there is an small fleet behind Toyko-3's moon. At least forty ships appear to be waiting to ambush the Gambits colony fleet. The Vultures cloaking system appears to be hiding the shuttle and its crew. however there is no sign of any active or passive scans.

Re: An Unexpected change

Cerise grimaces at the odds.

(To everyone under her command, via vulture's intercom) "Ok, folks, be ready. We're going to try to make a call for help; we can't take this on alone. But if they detect us, we'll need to be ready to defend ourselves."

To the pilot she relates a plan as well; "Be ready to jump; if we do draw attention and don't think we can hold them, we may need to get out of here fast."

Re: An Unexpected change


   Gambit CIC to Vulture Actual. (Authentication code Here) Mission is scrubbed Freedom station is under attack. your to link up with fleet at these coordinates. (given here).


   the pilot enter coordinates and Vulture Jumps. almost a month later a very anxious crew defolds. Given the order to standby. the tension can be felt in the air as everyone wants details which are not coming. Even Michelle is unable to access the main computers.

  Several hours later Hyena Shuttle defolds and within minutes the fleet folds as one. When you defold again another month will have passed. Though communication with the fleet is restored. You are only able to learn that the enemy that attack Freedom Station matched the fleet in Tokyo-3. All communication has been lost with freedom Station.


  When you defold all veritechs launch within seconds. Debris drifts everywhere. the remains of of the horror can been seen as both the defenders and the enemy (haydonites) litter the battle field careful navigation is used to avoid unnecessary collisions.

  With a system wide scan the fleet finds the remains of freedom station tumbling aimlessly. Though it takes several hours to meet up with the brutally damaged space station the four shuttle teams (Vulture is one of the four) sent to investigate find that one pod is still tethered to the main body. the 36 alphas and 4 betas do quick flybys and find nothing out of the ordinary.

 
  The Admials voice can be heard over the radio; Vulture your to proceed to lower ship yard (belly of the factory, Where Zentraedi flag ships would be constructed or dock for repairs) I want you to evaluate and prep the Black Star for immediate launch if she is intact. 



  he commands Hyena to go to command and do a search and rescue of the civilian city area. while ordering one of the other shuttles to investigate the pod while the second stands watch and relays any trouble.


  Banshee Squad is ready to go. Wraith squad forms a protective bubble around the vulture and you proceed through one of the large openings created by enemy fire. as you match speed and spin of the station.

   the city ship is clamped in place its protective cover severely damaged.


   she is five miles long.

Over the comms to wraith squadron. 

Kaarle was beyond nervous right now as they entered area, the damage he was seeing was intense, and he wasn't sure what to expect once they moved into position.

Re: An Unexpected change

"Ok, let's find a safe place to land and bring her down easy. Sgt. Swift, I'm going to bring Lt. Thakun with us to do repairs, so you'll be in charge here while we're gone." Cerise instructs the pilot.

Then, over the ship-wide intercom she keeps the grounders abreast; "Lt. Valentine, be ready to disembark Banshee and form a defensive perimeter. Once we're down and secure we'll figure out where to go to make repairs.

Lt. Thakun, we'll be needing your help with those repairs, so attach yourself to Banshee."


Then, over the command radio; [Language unknown: "Vorterame, lin encestent man naosth eenahe sa enwabe ion p onswasast ain ome astthientine. Ure llch wawi st at m iowas k ble re peomec plas ntiic reutfo nohaulpo."]

Re: An Unexpected change

Mirage is stunned as she surveys the damage.  He hopes silently that most of the people managed to get to the hardened shelters before the atmosphere was purged, but her gut tells her bad things.

It's a fact of life living in space, drills... vacuum, shelters and such.  She had the luxury of not only being raised on a planet, but of actually having a childhood.  She knew it made her weak compared to other Zentradi but she was certain in other ways it made her more resilient and a better thinker overall.

Re: An Unexpected change

Cerise keeps a close eye on the sensors; landing on the station leaves them vulnerable to ambush, so she wants to be able to react if something happens.
