Mission:
Season 2: Mission 1: Day after Day
Location: City-Ship; Command Center; Conference Room/Commodore's Office
Timeline: October 15th 4566 Evening
The shuttle began docking with the cityship and upon arrival landing personnel began to unload all the giant war machines, battlesuits and various other crap from the ship . Remi was awoken form her gaming by a launch control officer as they were unloading people from the ship.
Charlie gets off the shuttle and begins heading towards the bridge to check up on things.
Aidan is in his office tending to a last page or two of paperwork from bridge duty.
Once remi was removed form the shuttle she was also handed her bag by the same guy who escorted her off. She just wanders out of the bay humming random tunes for no apparent reason. An announcement soon came over the base's PA "Lavie Tactical Team One please report to debriefing room seven" Remi heads there.
Ayasha quickly changed into uniform and started the journey to the briefing room.
Flennel arrives punctually and quiet, sitting on the far end of the briefing table in her mechanic clothes, but with her tech-repair flight suit on under it
Charlie after arriving at the bridge looks around and sees everyone working hard and then takes a quick look outside the windows then turns back towards the briefing room.
Remi soon arrives followed by an old man in a trinity uniform who just stares at her for being out of uniform... He also glares at Flan but says nothing. he then goes around the table taking a seat waiting for the rest of the team to arrive.
flennel notices but remains quiet and cold-faced, but wondering what it could've meant(edited)
Ayasha slips in, taking a seat closer to the back.
kirin heads to the briefing room to see what is up
Charlie arrives in the briefing room and sits somewhere in the middle.
ACTION: The safety bubble containing Drass appears in the room.
Emily was going over some paperwork in her office, looking up curiously at the announcement before going back to her work, knowing that if she is needed they will call.
Kessler comes in with just the underlayer suit from his rig, having not had time to change.
kirin looks around in the room and see a Charlie, Flan, Ayasha, Kessler and Remi in the briefing room(edited)
Tugar/XO08/19/2018
Ayasha discreetly pulled two chocolate coffee balls from a tin and let them melt in her mouth.
Mina enters in her Planetary Security Uniform and takes a seat next to Charlie after saluting the old man who signals for her to lower her salute.
Scott poofs into his lab on onyx and sees a message ordering him to a briefing(edited)
ACTION: The bubble containing Seleni appears in the room.
Scott heads off to the meeting
Once Scott arrives the old man seals the door. "Good evening team one."
"Hi... Commander." remi replies nonchalantly.
Charlie nods
Ayasha replied "Good evening Sir." Her thoughts were on Seleni though. This wasn't what she remembered.(edited)
flennel listens on focused, resting her chin on her crossed finger bridge, leaning on the table
Scott just sits there plotting a new away team toy(edited)
Once everyone acknowledged him he smiles nodding. "After review of the mission reports so temporal security was involved?" "mhm..." remi said. "What happened?" "They said we can't tell you." remi replied.
The man stares at her.
yeah ...not happening cupcake for one thing time cop trumps you and timetravel should never be considered while sober(edited)
Ayasha wondered if this was a test or something they were supposed to be keeping secret.
The man looks over at Mina. "Captain how about you be a good soldier and inform-" "Sorry Commander. Can't tell you. some temporal prime directive." The man looks pained.
umm cupcake do you want me to space you for trying to break the laws?
Ayasha VXed her dad, Aidan, to see if this were on the up and up.
Aidan was not informed of any need for this information. Parts of the mission briefing were redacted to even him.
He replied to her. "This sounds like a fishing expedition. Zip your lip."
cause im sure your breaking a directive and this is wartime
So maybe you want to quit while you are ahead...or alive?
"What the fuck?" Aidan appears standing with a padd in his hand. "Okay what the HELL is going on?"
flennel raises her eye brows in surprise of the appearing aidan(edited)
The commander looks over at Aidan. "Sir; they are keeping information from us... I demand they explain themselves."
intel guy wants to break tomporal prime directive
The commander said to Aidan
"Okay. Why is this even an issue. This is SOP for normal soldiers?! They were ordered to keep their mouths shut. So you want to have them disobey a direct order?! IS THAT what you came to tell me Commander?" Aidan started to turn red.
The Commander tilts his head. "No... They are withholding information from a superior-" Remi clears her throat. "You might want to open the door jackass." She said to the commander as the call button sounded.
scott is sitting there laughing at the commander that thinks he can order a captain or a full colonel
Aidan clears his throat, and addressed the commander, "Unless you have orders from the President, stand down, or I will have you escorted somewhere unpleasant for the remainder of your short stay."(edited)
"Keeping in mind, I know the President." He added.
the door chims again.
Aidan do i need to call for a ceci or 50?
"Ensign Thornton, since you are near the door, see who is there." Aidan said.
"I don't think glassing the Commander is a good idea. Stow it Johnson." Aidan added as Ayasha opened the door.
Charlie gets up and walks out while saying. "Whelp I guess there is nothing for me to do here."
Um aiden can i just go back to my lab to make things to make mist of enemies?
Aidan said, "Team one dismissed. You too Kessler."
Kessler gets up and leaves, "I wasn't needed anyways."
Charlie heads back to the bridge and prepares more requisition orders
When Ayasha opened the door, a group of four Federation Marshalls walked in with another Officer in tow.
The person in charge of the detail offered. "Commander Plount. You are ordered to cease and desist immediately. Any further interaction with this group will only increase the seriousness of this infraction."
After arriving at the bridge, Charlie is filled with determination when he observes all of the other soldiers in the room working diligently on their individual tasks.
The Commander turned ash-white. "I...I...was only trying to find out what happened to keep us all safe."
"If he opens his mouth again, stun him." The officer added.
Plount moved his lips, the officers tightening their grips on their weapons, then he wisely submitted. Within a minute and a half, the group was escorted out.
Aidan turned to address the group, since the action made them stand and watch Plounts removal. "This was over my head, I didn't even see the report, which, no pun intended, bugs me, but orders are orders. Anyone say anything?"
flennel shakes her head "no"
"I don't think any of us here said anything so far." Seleni says.
"Good, let's keep it that way." Aidan offered. "Anyone that is interested, there is a nice Pub nearby. First round is on me."(edited)
"about the only thing i said was no i wont say anything and does he want to see space without a suit" Scott Said
[ See the one on one post from Ayasha, Aidan and Remi and if anyone else posts for this time off then proceed to this next post in the morning.]
Oct 16th 4566; Morning
Remi had awoken from her rest and realized she had a message from Yuka. She headed to the Commodores office to find the girl staring out her window. Remi was only half in uniform. A tank and her pants. "You don't wake up well do you...?" Yuka said seeing her reflection in the window staring out at the raining weather automation system that decided rain would be useful.
Yuka shrugged. "I have a new mission for your team Lt.." "L... eh..." "You've been promoted... And yes you command a tactical team... Welcome to my world. We need your team to go and get some mats for us to build-" "Wait... ma'am did you just say mats as in materials..." remi laughs taking a seat. Yuka grins at her. "Build a bug redirection ray with the help of Dr. Scotties..." Yuka calls her entire team to her office.
after what seemed like a while warren shows up with suit redesigned and adapted to his psionic system, with a "lanreth" signature on the collar of the suit, he pulls out a chair and sits leaning back, balancing the chair on two legs, somewhat childish, but with a soldier's attentiveness
"Build a... um... what?" "A psionic weapon to control the bugs... You'll be working with the Nuance's crew to find the parts.
"I'm here in flennel's place, she doesn't know the nuance like I know'er."
Seleni enters shorty after Warren. Sitting down, she closes a book she was reading and places it on her lap.
Kyle dashed off into the rain, getting soaked and staring straight up at the sky taking everything in. He seemed joyful, and was not seen before. Wearing a black hoodie and jeans. Standing out like a sore thumb. Next to him followed his blue wiem Holley. “Oh it’s been a while since we’ve seen rain Holley.” He said calm and joyfully.
Seraphina enters shortly after, carefully taking a seat, making sure to keep the hem down.
A marshal walks up to Kyle. "The Commodore has requested you sir."
“Oh really? The stranger from the cryo pod is summoned? Okay!” He said with a smile heading inside following the marshal, with Holley following next to Kyle.
They arrive in the room. Yuka had a map of planets up. "Parts are on these planets... Basically you guys will be gathering the parts for Scott, Sera, Dr. Kemret and the research team to build a functional weapon. As usual Kes will be your teams pilot, Seleni will be going with you as will Ayasha, Flennel and either Drass or Kirin... Then you will be bringing along our newcomer here... and Warren." Yuka told remi
"Who decided this team layout anyway?" remi asked Yuka who just shrugged. "I did."
"how?" "its a secret..."
flan shortly enters the room, standing against a wall in a similar fashion to gainz, but paying sharp attention to remi, before nodding and quietly fist-bumping warren as she passed by, before saying "warren, I'll be joining too.. Kenzie showed me the nuance when I worked on your suit-- It seems to have the same architecture and mechanics as delivery ship I arrived to the lavie in."
"It seems like you just threw it together... Sorry just being honest..." Remi said to Yuka
"huh.. Alrighty then. the more the merrier, Lanreth." he said, to the slight surprise of the updated information.. and slight fear of what kenzie MIGHT have shared about him.
"Do we have any sort of schematic on this construct?", Sera asked.(edited)
"All I have to say is talk to Scott." Yuka said.
Scott heads to yukas office plotting hell for th bugs
“Anything I should be informed about before meeting said person?” Kyle asked joyfully and with a smile.
Flan coldly mentions "Scott would be the one to make something that crazy that fast"
Sera blinked before turning around.
The marshal just opens the door to let Kyle in the room as Yuka looks over "Our guest... according to carbon dating he is older than Em-chan, Ari and I combined..." Yuka laughed
"Kyle?" Sera said shocked to see him
“Oh well shit. I did not expect this.” He said calmly talking a small step back.
remi just shakes her head. "She decides her teams on randomness and who is oldest... I'm gunna die young I know it..." She said to herself.
scotts ears ring and he knows someone is calling him crazy...at leas thinking it
“Would someone care to inform me of what is the current situation. I’m rather not familiar with what it is that goes on around here. The last thing me remembering is the year 2073 and only being topical with that.” He said regaining his joyful tone.
Remi just shakes her head more
scott walks in and sees everyone and says hi
“I think I’ve seen enough to get the idea that I am not welcomed here. I’ll just see my way out then pardon me.” He said with a smile turning to leave.
"No you don't." Sera said
Yuka then just says randomly "You all are going to be infested Terran."
Seleni coughs loudly at Yuka's comment.
“If that’s the issue then you will need lemon juice. I hear it works wonders.” Chuckling silently as he began to leave.(edited)
warren "s'cuse me, who's gettin' infected--?"
Remi grabs Kyle's arm. "Sorry the Commodore didn't dismiss you."
"Your on our base... its wartime... Welcome to conscription."
remi said sadly
"I'd like to keep my son with me if permissible.", Sera said to Remi.
“Oh okay then, Well isn’t this another Rome. Next thing I know I’ll be in a burlap sack.” He said jokingly. “Isn’t there an age limit for that sort of thing? I’m sure you’re not going to be recruiting frail old relics such as myself.” Again saying joyful and jokingly. Unaffected by the mood set in the room.
warren says "welcome to the club, bud."
“Well if I’m being conscripted, what exactly do you wish for me to do? I mean I’m but a simple man.” He said modestly, with a smile.
"You... Um... This isn't normal..." Remi sighs.
“Come now. There is no time for sorrow. It’s a waste to spend your life down in the dumps! Cheer up! Tell me.” He said with a smile and a joyful tone!
Aidan VX'd a copy of the report from Medical about the mysterious stranger to Yuka or Remi. "It's time you started with more answers that smokescreen. Who are you and where did you come from?"(edited)
“I’d prefer to keep it simple. If I may, I’m a Scottish man from Earth. That’s about it.” He said simple and straight to the point. With a smile on his face.
Sera turned back around disappointed.
"Bullshit. Hows that for a simple answer." Aidan replied..
Kyle saw Seraphina and froze for a moment noticeably then shook it off.
flennel says in a flat voice "lets get to the business at hand, please.."(edited)
"eh... This is beyond my paygrade... I kept him here... Col. Commodore..." remi bows then ducks out.
“Yes, indeed. My identity is no much important than what is keeping all of you in such a predicament. If you must call me something, Kyle would be acceptable. As that is what I’ve been called by others as well as Azazel. So either will do.” He said still eyeing Seraphina.
Adams appears with Mith; Mith just crosses his arms looking at the man and says "derp" remi was walking out as this happened and walked into them. She facepalms. "So... they are here now too... I'm too young to be sacrificed to the space bug gods.... I don't want to become an old hag at 20!"
"And yet as old as you are, from cyro-sleep of nearly 2500 years, you keep exchanging knowing looks with people from other parts or Galaxy....and beyond. "If you can't tell us anything, why the hell would anyone trust you?" Aidan said.(edited)
Mith pats remi on the head repeatedly.
"Remi. Remember what I said?" Seleni turns to Remi. "I promised that I would protect you did I not?"
"I'll save you Senpai!!!" Mith said hugging Remi as Seleni spoke.
“You have no reason to trust me. Just as I don’t trust anyone. It’s that simple. If you wish to tell me to do something I do it. For I have all of the time in the world.” He said with a smile and his happy tone.
“Anyway, it seems like you have a, pest. That needs extermination. May I request details on these creatures?” He asked looking around.
Seraphina turned around, "They're tough, destroy worlds, and eat everything. They're also very infectious."
"Your... crushing... me!" Remi said as her face turns blue lightly.
Mith lets her go.
“Thank you moth- I mean miss. That’s most helpful.” He said looking away.
Yuka just sits down letting the group talk.
"Mr. Scott, schematics for the construct if you would please."
Mith then says its a party from the 10000000 dimension and only those form this dimension are not invited... He is her son, Sarah is Jack's mommie and I am the mommie of the university... BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"they adapt to the planet or environment they're in.. volcanic world, use cold, iced planet, use fire, space..? use fire." warren said, describing it as if he's talking about removing rodents.
Aidan gets up. "I have other things to attend to."
Ok ill make this toy Scott replied
Mith turns into a hammer and hits the ground disappearing as Adams shakes his head and disappears saying. "Why do I work for the right hand... why...."
now let me get back to tinkering scott said
Seleni turns to Yuka. "What's stopping us from using me to pick up the parts, besides the whole bend and rip a hole in space-time to get places?" she asks in a quiet voice that no one else can hear.
“What is it that you plan to construct?” He asked Seleni in a joyful and curious tone.
flennel chimes in with "that the part would probably be in a dangerous air-space or area.. maybe."
...which plan the plan i have to avenge us if things go beyong repair? scott asked
"The one for the bug control weapon."
warren then follows up the construct plans with "A weapon to counteract the psionic emitter that the FSF is usin' "(edited)
“Are they a hive minded organisms? If they are I doubt it would be much affect unless used on their queen.” He stated bluntly yet in a joyful tone.
Seleni stares in irritation at the newcomer. "I swear some people just like to know everything."
scott finds the plans and pulls them up and projects them
“A better alternative would be an ultraviolet focused laser. That would irradiate them swiftly. Though, this is not my war. No, now it is since I’ve been so graciously invited.” He said smiling.
"the psi emitter mimics the hive-lord." said warren, continuing with "its to destroy theirs, then if we can even find the hive-lord, we CAN use it on im' but what's t'say that it'll be stronger than it's ability, the thing's the size of a planet.. or that's what I collected on the attack of colony delta."
Seraphina stares up at the projection,ignoring Seleni's venom. "Hmm it's surprisingly complex and simple at the same time. Yes with the part, Scott and I should be able to construct it in short order."
“I can already sense the hostility. I’ll just stand over here if you require me then. I would not want to cause any discomfort or tension.” He said stepping away murmuring to himself looking at Seraphina.
flennel says quietly but firmly " is anything concerning the mission going to be said, or is this a social hour..? this is something crucial that we need to talk about"
Warren follows up, "little missy is right.. we've derailed a bit, lets get to the topic on hand-- remi ol' buddy?' "
“From what I’ve observed, they’re looking for a component for a psionic weapon that they’re planning to use against these invertebrates they speak of.” Kyle said standing alone with Holley.(edited)
"More then one. Scott has shown us the plans, now we need the coordinates for the parts, and transport. Miss Yuka?", Seraphina said clarifying.
"we've gotten that-- now we just need to talk about the how." warren retorted "we need a location and a "what to do". from there, it's up to us."
“I think this should be stated by the one in command.” He said looking at Yuka.
After the group was back in order and focusing on the mission tasks again Yuka stood... "Finally... Can I continue with my briefing... As for the plans Scott made a rough of... Warren; your an engineer and honestly you have the most experience actually dealing with the bugs... Will this thing actually work?" Yuk asked him.
Remi just observed things but kept to herself after her comment. When Warren and Flan came to her aid she still just said nothing sitting as close to the door as she could.
Kyle sat against the wall next to his dog. Unfamiliar with most of the people in the room. He did not want to engage in conversation, as that might offset the tone and setting. Instead he waited for someone to dish him orders.
Not like they knew much of what he could do, but if they asked he would tell them if they so evenly needed the information.(edited)
warren replied "you'll be able to use the weapon on the bugs, it'll scramble and confuse them, but whatever gave it the order will get them back in line." following it up with "but we need it to get that damn FSF toy off the map."
Seraphina was not a tactician, her forte was science, so she sat quietly and listened.
FlanLast Thursday at 8:32 PM
"from what I know.. they might develop their own 'channel' to listen to if the hive-lord does find the emitter troublesome, it'll adapt.. we'll have to adapt with it.. for those who don't have psionic capabilities, fire works just fine.. we have to stop it from eating worlds rathered than fighting them in space.."
he rambles on "they have nothing to lose in space, but on planets, they lose everything.. like cuttin' off a supply"
Dragon_GodLast Thursday at 8:34 PM
“Then do not use radio waves and instead use lasers to send the signals and messages. It seems like a simple solution in and of itself.” Kyle added.
"That's too direct, we need a spread."
"We need ours to kill the FSF's emitter, and that's what we're here to do."
“Have you tried shorter wave lengths? Animals and other organic organisms only produce short wave lengths. Matching it in that sense would make it almost impossible to detect.”
"the idea of the emitter we're making is to over ride, the FSF's, but we can use it to our advantage.. to maybe fight the bugs.. but its a beacon to let them know where we are."
"we just need to take out the FSF's emitter and deconstruct it.. that way it causes no more trouble for us."
"Well... This is the list of the worlds which have the stuff that is needed... you have your science advisors and you all seem ready... Lt. Rembrant... Lead your team." Yuka said as she dismissed the group. Remi glared at her. "Really... Just shoeing us out the door like that...-" "You command an elite tactical unit; surely your team can make it sown plan or do you need me to assign someone to do that for you?" "uh..." "Alright..." Yuka VX's Aidan to have him coordinate with them on a location to help htem build a tactical plan.
Kyle retained his glamorous and joyful mood and remained silent listening to what they were stating. Figuring it would be better to wait for someone to approach him.
flennel stares over at remi, then follows up and follows her quietly, at her side. Warren however questioned remi: "so what're we doin'?"
Remi stands and goes over to her desk getting a padd and the information on the mission taking it out. "Well everyone... to a briefing room then since the Commodore has reached her allotted time for us..." Remi said in a matter of factly tone.
Aidan responded to Yuka's VX and advised he would coordinate with Remi
“I have no knowledge of that location, so I will have to follow someone there.” Kyle said smiling, still unfazed by the situation.
"Are you a drone or osmething dude... We are already going there..." Remi replied to Kyle
Seraphina quietly follows from the rear of the group.(edited)
Flan leading the way "please.. Follow me everyone, we're on the way to briefing room 3A" she says calmly "remi is busy in contacts at the moment, so Ill be acting as her temp until she returns.."
Warren quietly followed as the hallway is filled with the sound of suits, and foot steps, passing the occasional guard, a couple of everyone following getting quick glances from guards and other personnel
Kyle stood up and followed in the back next to Seraphina, along with his dog. “A drone! Don’t be obscure. I’m 100% organic, and your scans prove it so.” He said jokingly seeing the comment hilarious.
Flennel stops at a room, stopping in a location where personnel dont usually come through-- she presses her hand against the door seemingly ignoring the key pad and a card scanner
warren then replies "so what's up with the do-" followed by the whooshing sound of the door opening as flan looked at them "VX clearance." she said coldly
“VX? Sounds like there’s more that I will have to learn.” Kyle said
in which warren just stares at her, then walking in the room taking a seat. sitting down in his usual, adolescent 2-legged chair lean.. as flennel instructs "please everyone.. this is the room remi instructed us to attend.. "
"That's actually something I can't have. Body rejects implants."
Rubbing the back of his neck in memory of his, “Gist were not that grand either. Next thing I know I’ll be seeing massive space cubes filled with assimilating cyborgs.”
"as remi is busy with contacts-- we'll await her return" flennel then looks at kyle " a VX is an implant that acts as a communicator and.. what basically is a computer.."
"giving access to logs and other information on the lavie"(edited)
Seraphina enters and takes a seat near the door, before looking to flan, "Then how does one like me get access without one?"
“Seems like a very.” He has a pause, “Unique design!” He said joyfully, not really thinking it’s all that special.
He then sat right next to the door inside ignoring the seats. Holley laying next to him.
"its not special here.. as its the standard.."
flan also questions "what is a geist?" as she's heard of a geist, but never actually learned about one, aware that they dont have a VX in the first place(edited)
“Nothing, don’t mind my random ramblings.” He said joyfully dismissing the comment.
"A Geist is a neural implant. Now would you please answer my question?"
flan looking over to sera "oh sorry for skipping you, i apologize.. you'll be given access through different means, it can be given to a geist, as the geist is connected to the VX's network, however there are biological scans, and even simple things like codes and cards will be given to you"(edited)
"No one has Geists anymore as all were replaced with VXs. I only asked as I can't use implants.", Sera replied with a nod.
“Correct, no one has a Geist...”(edited)
"oh" flan said with a slight shade of embarrassment "well then.. I apologize.. but yes, the proper permissions will be given to your vx OR through other means, like physical cards, codes or biological means.. like retina scanners and things of the sort"(edited)
remi walks in as the conversation about the tech was happening. "VX is superior to your older tech... Can your tool change your hair and eye color, literally interlink to the ship, its a com, nanomachines galore, shield anyone... eh... IFF sensor... Why am I explaining this tech to people who should have read the basic training and know its standard issue for trinity and delta force people..." remi continues to mumble to herself.
“I was not the developer of said device but it did have its perks when I had experienced it.” He stated in his upbeat tone.(edited)
"but sera, you can go to a certain medical service, they can make you a VX that will be compatible with your body.."
“I do not wish to be the one who breaks up such a lovely conversation about technology but is there not a mission at hand?” Kyle asked Upbeat.
"It doesn't work like that flan, the problem is genetics. My race, their bodies actively reject foreign materials in the body. But yes, he is right, this is best for later."
"yes, please, lets get to the mission at hand.." flennel agreed, "remi?"
"they can change your genetics.. they have biology mastered.. though they are regulated as to not make super weapons.. to my knowledge.." flan then pulls attention to remi "warren knows the most about the scourge.. he seem the most appropriate."(edited)
"Well... the mission as the commodore said is find super scientific stuff... we will go to one of the planets on the list and find what we need... Now for the science mumbojumbo we go to our resident scientists..."
remi said sarcastically
warren giving remi a "really??" look to remi then gets up, standing before everyone in the room "so uh.. I'm not very good at these.. so.. what do you guys need t'know?"
“Nice to know that the generation of the future uses simplistic language to describe things. Euphemisms. The language of the young.” Kyle said chuckling.
“Well, the information I require is very simple. In fact I’ll make it simple, what do I need to do.” He said again in his usual tone.
warren rambles on: "I know how to kill 'em, and how they work.. but thing I need to know before I start answerin' is: what do I need to answer." he continues "i can go all day about those damn things."(edited)
Remi coughs. "Just so you all know making this well drawn out plan and setting things up for days... lets just make this simple... we know where we are going; we know what we are looking for... So what are we doing... I tend to live my life by this fun quote... " Make the plan. Execute the plan. Expect the plan to go off the rails. Throw away the plan"
warren then replies to her "so we're just building the thing to destroy their thing.. Where do we go to get the stuff to build said thing remi?"(edited)
Seleni laughs. "Plans never really make it past the first stage, but it is a valuable tool and process to do."
“Reach each destination by relative distance that is closest or the fastest. Hit each location. Acquire all of the components. Then part two, which is to exterminate the infestation using said weapon.”
She pulls out the map Yuka gave them."
Seraphina just sits quietly.
“Is that a acceptable plan?”
flennel grabs the map places it on the center table, and places a half sphere on it revealing a hologram blown-up map of space, showing different types of celestial bodies and such "please look at the marked planets.."
Sera looks but doesn't have anything she can add.
warren then looks through.. the map zooming in to each point, showing a profile of each planet and body "so this is our 'shopping list..' sera.. are any of these planets breathable, safe?"
Kyle stood up and walked over to the map. Looking at it for a second he turns to Flennel smiling, “My aren’t you interesting, we have all of the information, if I was back in Rome with Caesar as Emperor we would have executed faster than this. Just make a plan and go with it. My opinions still out there.” He said.
Scott sitting in the bunker looks into the watcher database and sees the old janus timeship schematic and goes "oh shit"to himself.
Scott shoots a message to yuka asking her to come to the onyx bunker(edited)
Flennel replies to Kyle "how am I interesting..?"
Warren then opens the planet condition logs and displays them for sera
He smiles and walks back to his dog and sits down.
Seraphina begins to closely examine the map, manipulating the zoom a bit as she examined each closely. "7 in total....1 Is marked as hostile, will need combat equipment, hmm.....3 Are unsafe and require basic EVA......2 Are oxygenated mining planetoids.... a tundra world with one lab for life, and mining center......"
Seleni studies the map for a few moments. "No one would object if the Murasashi takes the hostile one?" Seleni asks.
“What is it they use to say, ‘I’m down’? Anyway, I’m just about okay with anything.”(edited)
Remi nods. "Okay so we have the planets, we know what they will be like, we know what we are picking up... Now.... tactically how are we going to handle each sitaution.... slash discuss okay?"
warren then continues with "well lets talk about the hostile planet, sera, is it the scourge? or the FSF, whats the deal with the hostile planet?"
Seraphina pulls the particular world in question back into focus and expands it, before pulling up relevant data. "It's giving off a strong psionic signature.....so FSF. Hostile air space and a commander."
“Sounds like vacation.”
Seleni broods as she digests the info. "No other information that that?" she asks, staring at the planet on the map.
warren then answers "huh.. thats probably our last stop.. I say we hit the safe planets first"
"and save that juicy one for last"
Remi points to Seleni
warren answers Seleni "that seems to be the only info they gave us, we can use the Sashi, cant we?"
"for the hostile planet." he reassures.
“So are we going to split up and look for clues? Go together planet by planet all together?” Kyle asked upbeat.(edited)
"Send all the pitbulls to go eat from the dead animal corpse as opposed to attack the man who invaded remi said. your property... Good idea but no..."(edited)
"we can.." warren replied "though that'd be a fool's idea", warren then finishing with "though I assume that was a joke"
"I still have the Shadow. We can use that to catch a glimpse of the defenses and then plan a quick extraction assault." She muses. "I still have several dropships and transports. Issue is that they really can't go far and they don't have a method of FTL travel."
“Too much talking will get us no where. Where are we going and what are we doing there? That’s what needs to be discussed.”
warren turning to Seleni "whatever it takes to take those bastards down, I don't care how we do it.. we'll find a way."
"We don't have much resources to work with in the beginning. A full out assault is a terrible idea." Seleni counters.
"but i agree, which planet should he hit first" Flan said
“The closest and the safest.” Kyle claimed with a more serious tone than before.(edited)
"The mining planetoids?", Sera offers.(edited)
Flennel then looking through the list of planets and its containing parts mumbling "closest.. and safest.. that would be.."
"the mining planet wouldn't be bad, they're probably the best bet.. they're friendly.." flennel mumbles on
"sera is correct, the mines would be our first best bet it seems."
“Then we got our location. What’s the component we require there?” He asked retiring to being upbeat.(edited)
"we just need minimal equipment, planet is breathable and supports life-- and it says non-hostile settlements.. so light, self-protection weaponry at best"
flennel then reads the planet description towards the mission "apparently the mining bases has the raw materials we need to pick up"
“I’ll grab my equipment then I’ll be expecting an ambush or something to go up in smoke of course. Happened with the Zulu it will happen here.” He said getting up and turning to leave.
"Huh...Should we bring a cargo ship as well?" Seleni asks.
"sure, it isn't a lot so, we don't need a big one.." flennel says looking at seleni
flennel answers "we can use the aero-wing, it's open for use, and it has atmospheric and landing capabilities and has self defense in case things get bad.."
"it can carry 16 people and more than enough thrust to get the amount of reverberum that we need to pick up"
"So is that little ship just goign to like become team 1's ship... I mean we are the only ones who use the damn thing..." remi said facetious.
Kyle at this point already left.
"Okay... while since people are leaving... We depart at 0900..."
Seleni shrugs. "I mean no one else uses it besides us"
Warren stands up "lets get geared up for pickin' up a package guys.. take light weaponry and maybe light protection, suit or somethin.. we ain't fighting so we just need whatever incase animals go nuts or somethin' "
Seraphina raises her hand, "Um I haven't ever been on an away mission, what should I bring?"(edited)
(Okay; so space tactics team we need a pilot, systems manager, team leader, tactics, medic, combat specialists and science advisors)
warren having already walked out the room-- flennel then looks at her speaking from experience "bring light armor, weaponry, list a pistol or something-- something incase a.. spider or something attacks you.."
"Anything more specific?"
"hm.. other than that-- i think you'd be good, just bring a service pistol and one layer protection.. that should be all we need for a friendly planet. we're meeting up at the aero-wing at 0900."(edited)
