Tiirshark Base (Located on the Outer Rim of the Milky Way, Eastern Spiral Arm. Houses LRR's largest permanent base. It is crewed mainly by humanoids and is home to the very secretive supertrooper project. If this tech gets into the wrong hands {AKA Pirates}, then we will be in big trouble.)

A small cargo shuttle approached the base, appearing to stay on a regular docking vector. It closed within 40m of the base's hull, but then, something went wrong.

"Uhhh..... sir?"
"Yes, ensign?"
"Sensors blackout in quadrant L-7."
"What? That's impossible, go ch.... (silence)"
"Boss?"

The young ensign felt a hard blow to his neck, and felt no more. His paralyzed corpse fell to the metal floor. If he were alive, he would have looked up to see a figure clad in black, with short blond hair and very attractive features. She was Gia Klien, easily the most dangerous person ever to be born in LRR. She had conducted this part of her operation quickly and silently. She perfered to kill with her hands, as it saved up her ammunition, and the less she had to carry the better.

"Josh, make sure the base is cleared or you'll join him!"
(Pointing to the corpse on the floor with her knife.)
"Right away, ma'am!"
"Transmit the demands."
"Aye, ma'am."

Meanwhile........

The LRRSV Hugo, otherwise known as the harbor ship, continued to orbit Betlegeuse 5. In the chambers of parilament, another report from the Leonardo Da Vinci in the Atlantican civil war had just been heard, and all seemed going well. Then, a breathless messenger ran into the large, domed auditorium. The insectoid scuttled up to the chairman's seat, (The chairman being Stephen Byerly, a robot, with cochairman Elwood Blues and head curator Slartibartfast) and delivered the bad news.

"Mr. Chairman, it seems as though one of our bases or other has been taken over by a most horrible bunch of humanoid enteties! And they claim to have access to a superweapon!"
"This is bad. Get me in contact with Captain Jericho."
"Right away, Mr. Chairman."
"Members of the audience, it seems as we have a crisis on our hands! One of our bases has been taken over by terrorists! They claim to have access to some kind of advanced weapons system."

In the back row, a middle-aged human general, decorated and battle-scarred, rises from his seat.

"Uhh.... excuse me, Mr. Chairman. I believe that they are....uh..... referring to project G-674, otherwise known as, uh....... supertrooper. It is housed at the Tiirshak base. It is my command."
"Is it now, General whoever you are? Did you hear that, honorable audience of the parliament? Supertrooper? I wonder what this is about. any ideas? ANY IDEAS, MR GENERAL?"
"Er.... well..... it would give LRR an edge over any other space country! FOR CRYING OUT LOUD, MR CHAIRMAN! THIS IS A MATTER OF NATIONAL SECURITY! WE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE DISCUSSING IT! YOU'VE COMPRIMISED US, YOU COMMIE SWINE!"

The general was playing the communist card again The LRR marine service had always been a problem. Always such conservative A**holes. And the government, in fact pretty much everyone except 2.7% of the population (the most well equipped to start a war) was Left Wing and proud of it.

Loud cries of "F*CK YOU, WARMONGERER!" and "SHUT THE F*CK UP!" eminated from the audience, aimed at the general. Suddenly, he pulled out a nuclear blaster pistol, and aimed it at Mr. Byerly's head. Around him, about 25 other people did the same. Pairs of black-clad operatives rigged the doors with explosives.

"Phase 1 complete. This is very good."

The terrorists are holding the parliament hostage, and will make demands in a short while. LRR has no way to help the cabinet successfully, as we have no counterterror or SWAT team of any kind in place. The best commandos are on the terrorist's side. The Tiirshark base has enough weaponry to hold off even an LRR horde, and the only way to get in would be a covert mission which we cannot undertake. In short, LRR asks the international community to please aid us in this situation. We would greatly appreciate if you could commit your special forces teams to these two missions. For the sake of democracy and peace, please help!

Elwood Blues?

OOC: Hmm, no pirates here. Just us bounty hunters.
Can the cowboys throw their hats in the ring?

Elwood Blues?

OCC: YES!!!!

And bounty hunters are fine. I also need some help.....

OOC:Would the Zoir Warlords who are known for piracy and got their butts kicked out of Zoir space by the Imperal forces do for the pirates?

OOC:Would the Zoir Warlords who are known for piracy and got their butts kicked out of Zoir space by the Imperal forces do for the pirates?

OCC: Sure. Have them contact the terrorists at the base.

A cloaked ship from a group of people who had dispeared ever since they were crushed by the Zoir Imperal forces, the Zoir Warlords, the Infamous pirates that had raided for two extended periods of time the Sol shiping lanes themselves before having their forces there destoryed along with bases. They sent a message requesting communations with those controliing the base. They were most intrested in any advange they could get as they were seeking to regain some sort of power themselves.

At Tiirshark base......

"Ma'am, we've recieved word from Zoir pirates. They are interested in supertrooper."
"What do those spacefaring pigs want now? Get me in contact with them."
"Aye, ma'am."
"Zoir pirates, hello. The CNP is in control of this base. We are willing to trade with you in exchange for an alliance."

Meanwhile, on the harbor ship........

Around the large doors to the parliament chamber, an army of robots, bentusi, insectoids, and various species studied the doors, scanning it with Em and infra red devices, hoping to disarm the explosives. Elsewhere, a negotiating team was being readied. Passers-by clustered around the doors, but were soon warned to stay back. Inside the chamber itself, things were getting quite tense. The 500 legitimate representatives were being held hostage by about 40 terrorists, lead by the marine general. Soon, the Galileo Galilee horde had arrived at the harbor ship, as well as a great multitude of patrol ships. The hostages needed help desperately, but from where and when would it come? It is not as if the LRR fleets could disarm this sutuation. And everyone who would have otherwise been employed to meet such ends was now on the side of the terrorists.

"Captian Yuugi. . . we have a situation"

"what?" the man snarled, "this had better be worht my while."

"Oh I think it will be. . ." he handed over the data scroll.

"well, this is interesting. . . get me incontact with the planet. . . "

A coms chanel was opened, and from the bridge of the recently repaired Artemis Yuugi addressed the planetside contact within the raider's party.

"greetings, and congradulations on a coup well done. we have been informed that you've gotten your hands on a . . . weapon. . . and are interested in making a trade. For a chance to have our Techs look over it and copy its design, we are willing to fold a battle fleet in there, blast our way to the surface, evacuate your people and the weapon, and fold the lot of you out. Would you be willing for a trade, or would you rather face the planetary defences all by your lonesome?"

"Ma'am, we've got another response."
"Patch me through."
"Aye, ma'am."
"Hello, and your proposition sounds very enticing, except for the fact that we have captured the only military installation on the planet. If you clould land, we could meet face-to-face."

Meanwhile......

In the parliament chamber, things were not looking good. The terrorists still had firm control over the delegates. However, unbeknownst to them, a solution was unfolding outside. The clots of people parted, revealing possibly the most enlightened man in LRR, the Dalai Lama. The robot technicians had succeded in getting a small probe through the door, which allowed them to disarm the explosives. The crowd was cleared away, and the door thrust open. Shrouded in light, the Dalai Lama walked in.

"GET F*CKING DOWN!," yelled the terrorists, and after he failed to comply, several hundred nuclear blaster shots were fired at him. But miraculously, he was protected by a force shield of spiritual* energy, which deflected the blasts. Outside, there was a knot of Bhuddists meditating for the Dalai Lama's benefit, and it seemed as though they had done their job very well. The terrorists, all god-fearing men, started to panic. The Dalai lama lifted his hand, and in a flash of light, all the terrorists' weapons were destroyed. Soon, the technicians and police outside had stormed in and had the terrorists in custody.

(* Called spiritual for dramatic effect. The Dalai Lama really is one with the universe, but this fact is left to the more enlightened species, as humans would break out in riot and pillage if they heard the news. Being one with the universe means being able to manipulate and use quantum phenomena personally, and such power is usually derived from species who have evolved into forms of energy, however precious few there are.)

The news was soon broadcast to the Tiirshark base.

"Ma'am! They've wrecked phase two!"
"WHAT!!!"
"Yes, ma'am! Don't blame me, please!"

"I think that would be accpetable" Yuugi said, turing to an officer "prepare a shuttle, I want to be on that planet in five minutes" The pirate smirked as he watched his men jump to life, preparing a shuttle and suiting up in their armored space suits.

"we would be honored to meet with you, where should we vector our shuttles?"

already interceptors were preparing to launch with the shuttle, and a general scramble was issued, bomber crews and gunship crews rushing to their craft, ready in case of betrayal.

The Zoir warlords collectly concidered it and voted on sending one warlord with his forces. "Very well that is agreeable."

OCC: They will really need to watch out for the expotic ships fleet, but they don't know that. :D

IC:

"All parties concerned, please make for the main landing pad, building A.... Ensign, what was that?"

KABOOM!!!!!!!!!

Outside of the window, they see the top of the adjacent building blow off, and a small fighter zoom over the top of their building. It blazes away with its minigun, causing havoc on the ground before climbing back into space twoards the LRRSV Sirian Howler Weasel, a james Audobon class Patrol Frigate.

Aboard the LRRSV Sirian Howler Weasel......

"ALL BATTERIES PREPARE TO FIRE!!!!!!! READY THE CANNON! PRPEARE THE SUBORBITAL MISSILE TUBES!!!!!!!"

The frigate prepares to drop out of orbit and strafe the base with its four ion cannons, single napoleon cannon PDS (Plasma Delivery System), and missiles.

OOC: this could prove very interesting, but they will likely fold a carrier into the system with full escort, the nearest moon to the planet will be the gravity well we use. Also, incase I forget to log out of this account, or log into Captain Yuugi, consider all posts from this account to be from the pirates

IC:

"sir, there has been fireing from the planet below"

"verywell, send the fleet to fold at the neareest moon, I want all weapons charged incase we runinto trouble down tehre"

"aye sir!"

The majestic, if terrible fleet folded at the same time, a battleship, two carriers, a battlecriuiser and four light cruisers, surrouned by a buzzing swarm of destroyers and frigates made the instant leap to thier destination, weapons charged and glowing like runes on the most ancient of Takian psionic katanas.

The frigate prepares to drop out of orbit and strafe the base with its four ion cannons, single napoleon cannon PDS (Plasma Delivery System), and missiles.

Like its namesake, the Howler Weasel swoops down from orbit, weapons blazing. Soon, the main project building is in sight, and the PDS is loaded.

"Ready, FIRE!!!!!"
"Course steady! Impact in three....two.....one.....IMPACT!!!!!!"

The building housing Project Supertrooper seems to erupt, scattering its wreckage all over the complex. The howler weasel continues firing on the ground installations, its weapons finding their mark all over said complex. After wreaking complete havoc, the small frigate pulls up and out of the atmosphere. But to its surprise, it finds itself staring a sizeable battlegroup right in the face. Not good. Not good at all.

OCC: I might send a detachment of ships myself. Couid you put in some numbers?

OOC:

Battleship - Artemis
Carriers - Luna and Isis
Battlecruiser - Diana
Light Cruisers - Mace, Axe, Sickle and Warhammer
5 frigates
10 destroyers
plus fighters, bombers, gunships, and interceptors, only the Luna and Diana will approace the planet,t he other will stay behind to act as reinforcments.

"DAMN! PULL BACK INTO THE ATMOSPHERE! WE NEED REINFORCEMENTS!!!!!!"

"blow them to hell. . ." Yuugi said, the battlecruiser firing before his order was given, lacing weapons battery vollys at the escaping cruiser, sending lances of flame and light dancing across the path of the frigate in a deadly play of sound and fury. The Carrier moved closer, its ships preparing to launch and destroy the fleeing craft.

"AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!! WE'RE TAKING HITS!!!!!!!!"

The frigate plunges into the atmosphere, its airbrakes barely slowing its fall. It crashes into the jungle, somehow intact enough for most of the crew to escape.

OOC: http://invisionfree.com/forums/COTW/index.php?act=site
Look at it. Im not hijacking.

OCC: Er...ok.

IC: The frigate lays five feet deep in a swamp, and the crew scramble out of an emergency exit.

"dispatch gunships to the area, blow the frigate and then find the crew, capture them if you can, but I won't lose any sleep if have to kill them rather than risking yourselves. Go. . . now" Yuugi said,

The gunships loaded, combat crews geared in light armor prepared for a search and destroy while bombers and fighters launched to destory anyone else who got in thier way. Satisfied that the worst was over, Yuugi boarded the shuttle, along wiht his retinue and commenced his journy to the rebel emplacment.

OCC: The rebel emplacement is pretty torn up. Project supertrooper was incenerated by a plasma shell.

IC:

The crew soon disperses into the jungle, hoping to locate the large tunnel network which connects the various posts in the base. On the frigate was a team of 20 elite naval infantry, which, unlike the marines, are far more dedicated and loyal to the government. Their job is to seize the building from the equally elite former marines who hold it.

Note: I'm not sending a battlefleet because I don't really care wether the base is lost or not.

((OOC: figured that out of game, but Yuugi will be most unhappy IG))

Like vultures, the gunships swooped down, depositing thier crew of 5 each into the swamp around the ship. They fanned out, tracking the fleeing soldiers through the swamp while the gunships tracked over head, providing lookout.

* * * *

Yuugi's shuttle, under full guard sliped down towards teh surface, and the ruined building.

The crew soon found their objective-the planetary destruct charge. Hdden in an otherwise unobtrusive looking shak was a giant red button labled FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY.

The captain walks over and presses the button, and then that creepy voice comes on, saying:

"Self destruct in five minutes and counting. Have a nice day."

The crew then runs into the escape shuttle also housed in the shack. The small shuttle takes off.

The Captain:

(In Black, not white. Captain Stephanie Mason has mastered several martial arts and is an excellent shot.)

((OOC: Oh, suddenly I have a bad feeling about this. . . And why is it fitting, of all the planetary systems I've seen, of all the people I've RPed with. . . you are the only one whose planets have self destruct buttons. . . double points for that LRR.))

A fighter saw the vapor trail of the fleeing shuttle, and started persuit, relaying coordinents to ground crews, who climbed back into the gunship for quick deployment. It paused a moment, wondering at the quick escape, before persuing, determined to shoot it down.

A chase insues.

*Plays "Ukranian Poem"*

The gunship arrives at the small hut, the Marines spraying it with bullets shortly before kicking in the door and sweeping the bullet riddled shack for bodies. Finding none the leader lookes over at the damaged console. . .

"For Emergency Use Only" he read aloud, as that creepy voice came back, saying "Self Destruct in two Minutes, Have a nice day."

"oh dear sweet baby Jesus, do you know what this means?"

"um, that something is about to blow up?"

"Exactly, and do you know what that means?"

"That maybe we should get our asses out of here. . . now?"

"yup, back to the ship, orderly line"

"Self destruct in One Minute, Have a nice day."

"alright, screw teh orderly line, HAUL ASS!!!"

The marines moved as rapidly as they could to teh gunship, punching the vertical thrusters and shooting skyward as they radioed to the rest of the fleet.

"get the hell away from that planet, there is a bomb, and I don't know how big it is."

* * * * *

Yuugi looked confused, and the Pilot shrugged

"sir, should we go back?"

"better safe than sorry, call the resistance, find out what the hell is going on"

At the base complex, the terrorists were in total disarray. They were completely unaware of the existence of the core imploder, the weapon which they should have been looking for. What the core imploder basically is is a small drill probe which will drill down to the core of a planet, and detonate a fusion bomb. this will cause the core to become dangerously unstable, and cause the planet's surface to boil.

Gia Klien was very worried. She was worried about her ability to get of the planet in time, so she soon slipped away from the main group and proceeded to the pods bay. She found her way stopped by a guard, but that was no major problem.

http://movieweb.com/movie/thematrix/coa.jpg

She quickly knocked him out, and proceeded to the escape pod bay. She kicked open the doors and ran to the nearest escape pod. It was a one person contraption, and she quickly gained the cockpit. It closed around her snugly, and she then started up the motors. The pod shot through the tunnel opening, and starts to climb into space.

Meanwhile, the frigate attempted to evade its puruer in an asteroid belt.

But it is too late. The planet explodes and all these homicidal maniacs die. The entire solar system (two very close-by planets and a star) is destroyed.
