[OOC: A subplot from the threads a Scream in Space, and a Dark Alliance]

The ChessBoard a destroyer class ship, three kilometers long, and was shaped like a star destroyer from Star Wars. Recently it had aided Nanakaland, and SAVXVI through a battle with the new found alien threat the Stalkers, then another with the Great System, and then last against the remaints of the stalker fleet.

They thought the end of that battle would end it all, they were wrong.

A frigate was shot as it tried to ram the ship, and a box flew from the frigate, and onto the Chessboard no one noticed, because it was picked up on scanners as a piece of debris. It had attached itself to the hull, and four Sequas (Sek-ways) had entered the ship from it.
Sequas are a race, or rather a machine, created by the Xan. They were used to infiltrate ships, and destroy, and kill the crew. The look like insects in a way, with four legs, and a parralellagram body. Their body appears to have been made out of little square metal chips, about an inch by an inch long and wide. They have no visible eyes, and their mouth is about an inch wide by half an inch tall. On the mouth are two pinchers, able to tear through metal.
Which is what they eat to reproduce.
They eat metal, and based on what it is, and how rich it is, will depend on what they are like. A bronze colored metal, would produce a bronze colored Sequa. Extremely rich metal will create a extremely strong Sequa.
To reproduce the Sequas chew on the metal, and one of their chips changes, and it drops off, the little chip extends, and becomes a new Sequa. Who have a mix of the metal the 'parent' had, and also a trrace of the qualities the 'parent' had. Much like heredity.
The 'parent' then regrows the chip it lost, but it doesn't form from what the metal it was eating was.
Several types of Sequa include:

Warrior- They kill all living organism that they find to be a target, or hostile.

Worker-They eat and reproduce from the metals they eat.

Scout-Scouts out the ship for the best type of metal.

Queen-Constantly reproduces, no matter what, is created when a hundred chipos drop in the same vacinity.

Majority of the Sequa are about a foot long. The queen on the other hand though, is about nine feet long, and looks more like a spider than anything else, with eight legs, and a spider's shape.

Chessboard
There were a total of twenty Sequas on the ship, and they had only been on the ship for five minutes. AFter they have enough units they will slow down reproduction. The crew would be taken by suprise.
The crew of the ship was a total of 875. With professions ranging from techs, to soldiers, to officers, to cooks, to mechanics. They would be taken by suprise, but they would be able to fight.

----------------------------

In the control room four star Admiral Colin Walthour sat in the command seat. Beside him was his blonde haired, fair faced, twenty eight year old male aide, Major Aaron Leader.
Colin was a fifty five year old man. He was robust, and smart. He had a full head of gray hair, and a mustache, which was gray as well.
He wore the blue officers suit of the Techon military.
The battle was basically over, there was no more real threat, just mopping up after the fight. There was oe problem at hand however, Stalker escape pods were heading down through the moon stations orbit, and one of the Nanakaland ships the NSS Celestia had crashed on it as well.
They would wind up sending down troops to pick up survivors, as well as workers at the base. Then they would probably bomb any trace of stalkers.

---He had no clue of the danger on board

Techs were talking to crewmembers on the ship, or to fighter pilots. Giving orders and such. He at the moment didn't have any duties to accomplish.

--------------------

In the very front of the ship, the Sequas moved out of the storage room. They continued through the hallways, reproducing as they went. An unfortunate guard was walking back from the restroom, when he saw them. He didn't know how to react, fifty little robotic bugs were running down the walls, and floor.
He pulled out his gun, but a sequa jumped off the wall, and grabbed his hand. It bit down, its pinchers going throught the skin, and bone. The guard screamed in pain, and tried his best to throw it off. It didn't work though, and soon three others had him on the floor, and were tearing him apart.

[OOC: I will post more later, this is just to catch peoples intrest.]

The Sequas continued down the hallway, looking for more metal. Holes were every here and there in the wall, because of them eating it.
They went down a fleet of stairs, making sure to devour all of the railings. There were now around 78 sequas.
They got to the bottom, and went all around, splitting up. The would cover more ground that way. They reached several different rooms, and attacked.
One room was a lab, and full of scientists. They looked at the sequas, and started to step back. They weren't attacked, because they weren't opposing as a threat. The scientist reached the back wall, and the sequas began to eat away at counters, and table. A scientist, named Brad Heth, looked at the back wall. There beside him was an alarm. He pressed it.

-----------------------------------

In the control room, a moniter started flashing. And the tech, whos name was Courtney Verhoff, was quickly searching security cameras.
"Sir, there appear to be some infestation aboard the ship!" She yelled.
"Of what? Stalkers?" Walthour asked.
"No sir, they look like, robot bugs," She said after a little pause.
"How many?"
"I am picking up ten in the lab, there may be more though," She said, looking at him.
"Have three squads sent down, we don't need an interneal conflict right now," He ordered.
"Yessir," Verhoff answered, and quickly started giving orders for three squads to head to the bottom floor, towards the lab.

---------------

Squads two, four, and five were sent. Ten men each, all equiped with armour, and assault riffles. They ran as quick as they could down the hallways, heading ro the lab.

-------------------------

Meanwhile at the lab the scientists were scuffling against the wall towards the door, the alarms were blaring and the little robo bugs were looking around.
They reached the door, and headed for the stairs, with Brad in lead. They reached the stairs, and the marine squads passed them.
Brad was stopped by a short bearded, mustached soldier.
"How many?" He asked.
"They were growing in numbers, there must be at least thirty in the room by now," Brad answered, then continued up the stairs.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Rooster's Crow
"Sir, we are recieving any comunication from the Chessboard," a tech said.
"That isn't like Walthour, are they having any problems?" Three star admiral Jeff Jorsqe asked.
"Yes it appears so, they have no communication outside the ship whatsoever," The tech replied.
"Not good..." Jorsqe said.


[OOC: In case you are wondering where you can come in, you can either be a marine that will get sent aboard the Chessboard, a limit to three per person. Or you can be a crewmember of the Chessboard]

The squads entered the lab, and began to fire.
"Kill 'em kill 'em all!" On yelled as his machine gun blazed away.
The Sequas attacked as well, they charged at them, but many exploded apart as the bullets hit them, they basically shattered into tiny little pieces.
Then from behind another group of them ambushed the marines, and quickly the marines were down.

Bridge
"Sir!" Courtney Verhoff called.
"Yes?" Walthour answered.
"The marines are dead," She said.
"Damn, not good," Walthour said.
Then all the lights went out for five seconds, before coming back on.
"Damn," Walthour said again. "Hurry, before it is to late, post a disrtess call!"
"Yessir, but it will take up a lot of the remaining power!" A tech said.
"Just do it!" Walthour said.


"This is the Destroyer class ship Chessboard, we have aquired a infestation onboard our ship, and we will need all the help we can get. Please if you here this, come to our aid!"

Little did they know that the message left the solar system, and travelled far out into space.

[OOC: You guys pick up the message, and come to help. Just to let you know how you come in.]

The NSS Gallant picked up the distress call. "Readying help teams, now," Captain Edwards responded. "This is a two front battle so it might take a minute..."

The Chessboard barely picked up the NSS Galant's transmission. Right after it, all power went out. The lights and everyhting.
"This isn't good," Walthour commented.
"No, it sin't," Major Aaron Leader confirmed.

In the lower parts of the ship the Sequas were having a feeding frenzy, everything they saw was devourded, and resting on the main power core was the Queen, the base and structure of the group. They had only been on the ship for four hours, if that shows you how fast they are at reproducing.

[OOC: Even though the power to the ship is down the RP is still open to anyonew who wants to join.]

The Sequas started to move on, they had complete control over the bottom three levels. Already soldiers were ready to fight them, and other crew members were being evacuated to the top level. Little did they know the Sequas were going through the ducks, and starting to attack the top floor already.

In the bridge onboard scanners were going nuts.
"We can't tell what is a enemy from what is a freind!" The tech yelled.
"Follow the group movement then," Colin said. "See, those are human right there, gathered in a hallway, and those... oh no..."
On the screen little green dots easily dropped down on the othr green dots. Obviuosly an ambush from the ducts. The one who were attacked started to run, but were trapped in the room by the other...things.
None of the humans survivied.
"Bring everyone back to the bridge, and lock us down!" Walthour ordered.
"Aye sir" Aaron Leader said behind him.

"The Stalkers have been defeated," said a voice over the transmission. "We will now send over three boarding frigates to help defend your ships."
