"Got anything on yours yet?"

"Nah, my tracker ain't showing a damn thing.Why are we out here again?"

"Looking for a fairy-tale mothership.Load o' shit, in my opinion."

"You're not the only one. They -- HEY!"



The sand erupted in front of the 2 scouts, showering them with millions upon billions grains of sand. The 2 fell back,astonished at what had happened...AND what they were seeing

A tip of metal was sticking up from the sand. Well...not exactly a tip, more like 10 feet of huge,thick metal.



"Holy shit...Look at that thing!"
"What the hell is that?!"
"Its...metal..."
"...Radio command. I think we might've found something..."


OOC:More to come later. For now, just wait and see... 8) 8)

A Five Civilized Nations frigate descends into the atmosphere of Charon...

You're descending into somebody's airspace without permission. Shouldn't they be shooting your ass off now?

Just a note, the 5CN, since the founding of Xanter has had a strong influence on Xanter, mainly due to the ships we have in orbit and also because of the naval base orbiting and on Pluto...

We have a quasi-alliance...

OOC:Hehe,remember my friendly leader? :lol:

Alexander Burseg sat at his desk, doing paperwork, passing laws for his quaint nation, when he got the call.

"Sir," a new, junior aide said, approaching Alexander,"We have reports of a 5CN frigate descending into our atmosphere."

Alexander sighed,standing up from his desk.

"What do they want from us?"

"They...haven't revealed their reason yet. Oh! I almost forgot. Reports from Command have come in about Project Xheta."

Alexander was suddenly alert.
"What?They've got results?"
"Possibly, sir. I -- "
"Get me those reports and send a communique(SP?)to that 5CN ship telling them if they don't state what they want, we'll blow em to hell."

"Yes sir!"

OOC: You mean, your not so friendly leader...

The frigate is badly damaged, it was trying to get repaired at the Pluto Naval Base...

IC:

This is Captain Moran Stomra of the 5CN Meteor Class Assault Frigate, the Errant Dreamer... We have been badly damaged by a pirate attack, we request assista...

The message is cut off as the transmitter on the frigate breaks off...

OOC: I was being sarcastic :wink:


IC:

Alexander Burseg was sitting,reading the reports from Command, when the 5CN reply came in.

He thought a bit, hesitant of what to do.

"Errm...well...Oh, alright. But we can't do much,they know that.But we'll do what we can."

The aide bowed and hurried off...

BuMP!

The Errant Dreamer crashes near the newly discovered ruins...

And gives the team there one hell of a fright.

Alexander jumped, his aides swore, at least a foot in the air.

(But they didn't add they jumped at least 2 :wink: )

''What in the hells name was that!?" Alexander demanded, looking bewildered and at the spacecraft.

"That was the Errant Dreamer, sir. You know...the 5CN one."

"Oh, it was only that...But wasn't it supposed to land at least 2 miles away?" He asked, somewhat calmer now.

"We...must've miscalculated,sir..."
"Damn equipment! Why can't we get anything normal for once? Whatever, send over a rescue party, get the crew over here. Maybe in return they could help us bring this... Thing out from the sand..." Alexander motioned to the still ragged and twisted piece of metal.

Little did they know, that the Errant Dreamer had unlocked a whole new world...

Bumpers!

A piece of the hull of the Errant Dreamer cracked apart as part of the 5CN crew worked its way out using pulse blowers. The Captain of the vessel staggered out into the sunlight, happy that he had survived.

Seeing a group of Xanterians walking towards him, the Captain stood upright and saluted.

"My name is Captain Moran Stomra, 5CN Navy, CO of the Errant Dreamer."

"No need for saluting,Captain,we don't care for that," Said the rescue party leader, a woman named Melanor Caucas.She eyed the Errant Dreamer"Guess that won't be flying anytime soon..." She, joked, half-heartedly.
"Anyway, come with us,please. And dont worry," She added, looking at the face of the captain,who was looking incredelous at leaving his people behind."2 more parties are coming to get your men.No, lets go."

They got on their hoverbikes, bade their farewell to the men, and sped off.

But while the rescue party was driving back, something started happening at the dig...sand started shifting, and the metal started rising up...

The hoverbike that the Captain was riding hit a part of the rising metal and tumbled out of control. Monra Stomra flew into the air and landed beside a tree, unconscious.

OOC: Is it gonna be aliens?

OOC:Damn computer! Locked up! Anyway, If it IS aliens,then I have a really good pic for them. If it isn't, I have a good other plot anyways. You can decide.

IC:Melanor,being the driver of the hoverbike the Errant Dreamer captain was on, also flew off the bike, and landed a few feet from the Captain, unconcious as well.

Over near Alexander Bursegs's group, a large metal spike jutted out, missing a person by a few inches.

"Damn!" yelled Alexander as he fell down. Then, they looked up to see an opening in a giant steel triangle,totally black, leading somewhere unknown...

OOC:And this is the part where either aliens scuttle out of the opening or a team goes in to find out whats happening. You decide. :)

OOC: Try aliens...

OOC: OoooK.

IC:Then, they looked up in horror to see some sort of...things, scuttle out of the opening, they looked organic, but had things that looked like chainguns attached to their arms.They had crab legs, and were a wierd sort of purple...

"HOLY SHIT!!!" Alexander yelled as the things scuttled down the black triangle, ejecting silver blasts from the guns...or arms...or whatever they were,blasting people apart,and creating hell. Some tried fighting back, but most stood there, until they were vanquished.

Soon, only Alexander and a few of his comrades were left...
(IE:The Errant Dreamer captain, Melanor, and a few others)

Then the aliens...spoke.

The crew of the Errant Dreamer managed to take apart parts of the hull and escape. Two detachments of marines spot the aliens and swearing drop onto the floor, pulse assault rifles up. The unarmed crew dispersed into the forest.

The aliens fired on the unarmed expeditionaries as they were fleeing into the forest. 2 fell, but the rest made it to safety. Then,the aliens turned their attention onto the Marines. The marines put up a fight, but were finally slaughtered. Then the aliens turned their attention back to the forest...

One of the crewmen fleeing was holding a comm and was yelling into it.

A transmission was sent to the Five Civilized Nations Pluto Naval Yards.

This is Lieutenant Yoland Ganris of the downed Meteor Class Assault Frigate, the Errant Dreamer, we are under attack by aliens. Species unknown.

Earlier the Meteor Class Assault Frigate, Hegemon, had taken up position above Charon to assist the Errant Dreamer, but with the latest transmission, the Hegemon entered the atmosphere to evacuate the surviving crew members of the Errant Dreamer.
