Quaonion Colony in Bendack Solar System, Adromeda Galaxy

Douglas Scots looked into the night sky, longingly. It was a beautiful night, thousands of stars to be seen, millions of planets to be imagined. He watched through his telescope. He pinpointed the location of a star in the Milky Way Galaxy. It was the star that supported the planet called Earth. He wished to be near that sun again, to feel its warmth.

Douglas Scots was a member of the Quaonion space program. The space program, years ago, had launched a manned flight to the moon of Jupiter, Europa. He had so dearly wanted to get there. He wanted to see the ice, and see if there was anything beneath that ice. But…something had happened. They weren’t far from Earth’s moon when there was a flash of light, and something extremely unexpected occurred.

The ship had somehow emerged hundreds of light years away from Earth. No one knew how, but most scientists assumed that somehow some kind of wormhole had opened up. After several unsuccessful attempts to go back to through the wormhole, the craft had landed on the nearest planet. Lord, were they surprised.

They found what no one else would ever believe-aliens. The Bendickians. Strange ones, they were. The Quaonions had been hoping since the second they had seen the alien cities from the air, that the Bendickians would be an advanced species. Little green men with flying saucers. People who could take them home.

Unfortunately for them, the Bendickians were at basically the same level of advancement as Earth was. The two species managed to comprehend each others languages, and the Quaonions had established a colony. The new world was nice, but Douglas Scots longed for home. He longed to see his wife and children again.

It was assumed that back on Earth, Quaon had announced that something had gone wrong with the craft, and that all the researchers had died. How Douglas wished it were true. He would be able to see his family again.

Douglas started praying. Praying to God that somehow he would be able to get back to that distant star in the Milky Way. For hours on end, he prayed, trying to remember Quaon in all her splendor…

OOC: Okay, if you’re a future tech nation who isn’t necessarily in the future (advanced alien race, etc.) is welcome to jump in. MT nations can also play, and if someone wants to play the Bendickians, feel free.

Hate to keep bumping, but I really want to start this RP

OOC: I would like to join. I can not offer much military interaction however thanks to the Novacom invasion however, I suppose my Hogsweat Colony New Xharnia could have a few space launches that can somehow manage to end up in the middle of this Rp.

OOC: As the wormhole could re-open, it could work.

the person at the helm looked up. "Sir scans show some advanced tech on one of the protected planets."

"on a protected planet? i though none of them was even close to mastering anything at this level. take the ship over and check it out."

OOC: so what exactly do you have in mind for this?

Well, I want the Colony to get back to Quaon somehow, but I also want to keep fantastic FT low, because I want to keep my nation, Quaon, realisitic.

OOC - would another player be acceptable?
havent done this much but the my Albans are sending out exploration ships. - nonhumans of course.

OOC: Okay, sure, but let's keep this not too fantastic. The whole point of the story is that the Quaonions have no idea how the heck a routine space mission ended them in a whole other galaxy. And, is anyone willing to play the Bendackian aliens, or should I play them?

Location: Colonial New Xharnia
Time: 3:15 A.M.
National Union Orwell Space Center.


The Cosmonauts were all in their newly built Space Shuttle. The Operation had finally been approved by the National Military Central Command. This was to be the largest Xharnian military operation ever. Several Nuclear Warheads designed for orbital bombing were loaded on to the Shuttle. A National Loyalty Officer Captain Yuri Orlov led the crew of 40 Cosmonauts.

The Mission Control had finally received the go head and the count down had begun.

"10.....

The Shuttle blasted off with it's crew and deadly cargo. The Operation was designed to give the Grand National Union of Xharn and orbital Ordnance Command instead do to the tragic and poorly put together and timed sequences instead of orbiting the Earth. The Shuttle rushed past orbit out into the Cosmos of space.

OOC: Are you going to get sucked into the wormhole? Otherwise, theres no feasible way to reach where we are.
Edit: IC:
Douglas looked at his moniters. He was one of the head scientists in the Colony, and was assigned to try and figure out what had happened with the wormhole. Suddenly, a red dot appeared on the monitors.

Oh my God... he thought. He turned to his assistant, Li Chang.

"Li...the wormhole is back..."

The Shuttle was heading out into Space at an incredible speed...


Captain Yuri Orlov was confounded about the fact that they were heading into the void of space.

One of the Cosmonauts watched in totally surprise at this phenomena that was appearing directly in the Shuttle's direct path.

The Cosmonaut runs from his tactical station to report to Yuri directly.

"Sir, Unknown disruption in our path we can not maneuver away from it sir."

Yuri replies, "Very well pray to the Dark Sun we get out of this alive."

"Yes sir."


The Shuttle enters the Wormhole before any one can move it away.....

OOC: Last Post for awhile....

OOC - I'll set this up as an early Generation ship from Alba.

"Sir, the signels from G23775 - we have finally worked out a basic language kernel. We'll be able to communicate."
"That's excellent news ensign Vath. Tell contact team one to meet me in my wardroom."

After a nineday the contact team left the hanger in one of the new Brachash-class crusers. The Overspace nodes extended and charged, then, in a burst of light the induced wormhole enveloped the cruser and it was gone.

The cruser appeared in the system and immedately turned towards the planet transmitting
Greetings Bendickians. We come in peace in the name of the Whistle Republic. May we approach your planet?

Averanta, a Bendickian, looked at the message in utter amazement. Sure, they had met aliens before, but they had come here entirely by accident, and were no more advanced than them.

His eyes lit up. He had waited for this moment his entire life. After a quick check with the other Bendickians, he sent a message to the Whistle Republic.

Greetings, reprensentative of the Whistle Empire. We are sending you coirdinates to a landing zone. Please land there. Be advised, our gravity is probably lighter than your own.

OOC - sorry, had to go to dinner
IC
Ambassader Strach looked at the Captain. "OK Captain. It seems like we have permision to proceed. Shall we go say hello?"
"Yes Ambassador, I think that might be a good idea." said Captain Dranhk "Nav, get me a course to to that planet"

The engines of the cruser Starfire woke and the blue flame of hydrogen fusion trailed behind the ship as it accellerated towards the inner system.

One day later, the Starfire was in orbit of the planet. The hanger opened and a dropship fell towards the planet. It made atmospheric entry and, after contact with the Bendickian air control, landed.

The door opened and the Contact Party emerged with the Ambassader in the lead.
"We of the Whistle Republic greet you in the name of our Fal'tren and hope that this meeting may lead to an era of peace between peoples."

The Ambassader stopped talking and waited in anticipation for the reply

The green skinned Bendickians bowed to the new arrivals. "Welcome. We had never expected to make contact with an advanced species...this is an honor, sir."

"Not that advanced - the mothership was sent out when we were at very much the same technological level as yourselves. That was 150 of our years ago." Strach said "Many advances were made in our home system while we were away. For instance, our Overspace drive was only developed in the last 20 years, after our race's first encounter with a wormhole."

"Ah. Wormholes. I-" he suddenly thought of something. "We have aliens who accidently got here via an unexpected wormhole. It's very strange, you see. It just appeared out of nowhere, and they found themselves here. Any ideas on that?"

"Well, I have to admit I am not an expert on the subject. You would have to ask one of our physicists about that. If it would be of help, I think we could arrange for our data on wormholes to be transferred to your researchers." said the Ambassador "Leutenent?"
"We could transfer our observational data to you but most of the theoretical information is classified. If it'll help we'll send you what we can."

OOC: Check your telegrams.

IC: "Thank you. Poor people, those refugees are. Stuck far from their homes. So, can we discuss a diplomatic treatise? We could send scientific data to each other."

OOC: Just so you know, the Aliens of Bendack are a technocracy.

The Wormhole had been a rough ride for the Xharnian Shuttle however in the end the Shuttle was shot out into the unknown.


Captain Yuri looked at his men after the brutal ride and said, "L.T. do we have power or communications?"

The L.T. replied, "Sir, We were not prepared for this our fuel is nearly exhausted and our radio can only make a short range transmission. The engines are oddly enough, in working condition and the Nuclear missiles are still in working condition."


The Captain sighed and another member of the crew said, "Sir, We are near a strange planet."

One of Averanta's aides looked at a viewscreen in amazement. Two alien ships in one day? Amazing. He walked over to Averanta and whispered in his ear, "Sir, we...have another alien ship. It's not identifying itself...what should we do?"

Averanta turned to his guest. "My friend...it seems we have another alien ship in our system. It's not making contact with us. You are probably more well trained at these things than I. What should we do?"

bump

"Captain, there's a wormhole opening at 56.213.23!"
"What!"
"There's a ship coming through!"
"Do a hi-res scan on that ship. Find out everything you can!"
"It appears to have been damaged in the transit sir."
"Hail the ship. Ask the Bendicks if we can break orbit and go to assist."

On Bendick
"A diplomatic agreement would be very satisfactory." said Strach "We would be happy to trade technologies with you."
My friend...it seems we have another alien ship in our system. It's not making contact with us. You are probably more well trained at these things than I. What should we do?
"Ambassador - we got a transmision from the Starfire - they say that the alien ship may have been damaged and are asking for permission to leave orbit and go to assist." The leutenant had been listening to his earbug and now spoke "Captain Dranhk says that it appears to be carrying nuclear weapons so they will approach with caution."

"This is your system so you have the final say but I think that it might be best if we tried to help the alien ship into orbit and allow them to make contact with you." Said Ambassador Strach

Nukes? the reprensatative thought. The Bendickians had never dealt with such weapons, but they had been told of their destructive power by the Quaonion humans.

"Of course. We should attempt to help these hapless travelers. May I accompany your ship? I wish to meet these aliens."

"There should be no problem with that. Captain? your opinion?"
"Cartainly" Captain Dranhk replied. "How many people do you want to take with you? The landing craft can take 5 more people safely."

"There should be no problem with that. Captain? your opinion?"
"Cartainly" Captain Dranhk replied. "How many people do you want to take with you? The landing craft can take 5 more people safely."
Averanta turned to his aide who told him of the alien craft. "Me and my aide should be enough."

Captain Yuri was yelling at his subordinates, "What do you mean we can't get back to Earth!"

The L.T. responds, "Sir, The Shuttle was meant to be an orbital weapons platform not a long range space exploration shuttle. We lack the power and the ability to reach Earth thus we can not reach the Grand National Union of Xharn."

Captain Yuri exclaims, "You mean we are stuck here with no way to get back home!"
The L.T. responds, "Seems that way, Sir."

Captain Yuri replies "I should kill you for insubordination!"

The L.T. responds, "That is hardly fair sir, I have no power these events."

The Communication officer interrupts, "Sir, receiving a hail from an unknown alien craft!"

The Captain replies, "Darn it, Not the best time. Send a reply on all frequencies giving an explanation of why we are here."

The Communication Officer nods and sends the message:

"This is the Xharnian Orbital Combat Shuttle Black Death from the Grand National Union of Xharn. We were sucked up by a strange hole in space and seem to be stuck here over."

Averanta looked to the ambassadors. "Well well, looks like the same thing that happened to the Quaonions happened to the Xharns. If you don't mind, can I send the message to them?"


Greetings. Apparently, as has happened to other members of your species, you have been somehow sucked into a wormhole and exited here. We do not know how to get you back, but we can get you down to our planet. Permission to board?

The Captain Yuri was told of the alien message and personally sent the reply:

"You have permission to board but keep in mind some sections of the shuttle are classified under Union law. I would like to personally greet your arrival party."

The Crew prepared for the arrival of the aliens. They deactivated the engines and disarmed the Nuclear missiles to help the chances of reaching peaceful contact...

OOC: Sorry for the bad post was rushed and have to get off the computer soon.

The Starfire matched velocities with the Black Death and extended a docking tube.
"Representitave, would you like to join me at the hatch?" said Strach "We are about to dock."

The boarding team prepaired for the crossing as the pressure in the tube equalised.

"Yes, Mr. Strach." The hatch opened. OOC: Xharn, take it from here.

OOC: You know what, never mind.
IC: Averanta opened the hatch. Looking around, he waved to the crew. "Greetings, captain. How may we be of service?"

Captain Yuri replies, "Well, It seems are shuttle was not designed to leave planetary orbit and the strange astral disruption ride has wrecked our long range communications and our fuel is nearly exhausted. The hull of the shuttle was apparently not built for long range exploration."

The Captain points at certain areas were the hull has been nearly decompressed.

"Well Captain, If you were willing to evacuate your crew, I think that we could send your ship into a stable orbit around Bendick for later retreval" offered Baran "My ship is not designed as a tug and towing is not an option as the fusion drive trail would render your ship highly radioactave for at least a year, not to mention severly compromise the structural integrity you have left."
"Would that solution be acceptable to you, Representitave?"

"Would that solution be acceptable to you, Representitave?"
"Hold on," said Averanta. "Please, these missiles you have on your ship. My people are peaceful. We would like to ask you to eject them, immediatly."

The Captain Yuri replied quickly and assurdly,

"I am afraid, I can not eject them. If my crew and myself every get back to the Grand National Union of Xharn. The first thing they are going to want to know is what happened to this shuttle's considerable nuclear arsenal. If we say we ejected them without orders from the National Military Central Command. We will be executed under National Military Law Section 13 paragraph 3."

The Captain Yuri replied quickly and assurdly,

We will be executed under National Military Law Section 13 paragraph 3."
"Than at least leave the ship in orbit. I don't want those weapons on my planet."

"Representitave, I said that the craft would be in a stable orbit. It will stay in orbit indefanately until a recovery attempt was mounted." said Baran "The ship - and its weapons - will stay in orbit until you authorise its recovery. Captain Yuri, could it be possible to remove the warheads from the missiles and store them elsewhere aboard your ship? That would make it impossible for there to be any threat to Bendick by a misfiring missile."

bump

Is anyone still interested?

Im still good but we need a response from Xharn to continue

OOC: I am in just waited for a response...

Captain Yuri thought about this and said, "I would have to open the launch tubes and allow my staff to disable the warheads manually not an easy feat in space."

"Captain, Would it be possible to rig up cables to pull the missles out of the launch tubes and into our shuttlebay? The shuttlebay has atmosphere so space suits will not be required." said Strach
Baran sighed. "I'm not particularly keen on having live nuclear weapons on my ship but if that's the only way we can sort this out then I suppose that it's worth it. Captain Yuri, would that work? We have experiance about this sort of thing it would not be a difficult job to carry out."

"Hmm...I think it would be best if this ship remain in orbit with its missiles. Even if there is foul play happening, which I doubt, we would be able to stop them before the missiles were launched."

"What I was meaning, Representitave, is that the warheads could be removed while the missles were in our shuttle bay. They could then be returned to the Xharnan ship seperately from the spaceframes."

"What I was meaning, Representitave, is that the warheads could be removed while the missles were in our shuttle bay. They could then be returned to the Xharnan ship seperately from the spaceframes."
"Yes, of course. Let's do this quickly. I want to start diplomacy soon."

Captain Yuri replied, "That would work. I would recommend doing this operation with extreme caution though. I do not think the designers of the and the shuttle had expected the missiles to be pulled out from ship to ship with cables."

Captain Yuri replied, "That would work. I would recommend doing this operation with extreme caution though. I do not think the designers of the and the shuttle had expected the missiles to be pulled out from ship to ship with cables."
"Yes. Just disarm the missiles, and risks will be minimal."

"To be perfectly frank, Captain Yuri, I don't think anybody WOULD really expect to have missles pulled from their launchers" said Baran "but if you can't jettison them for us to pick up, that would the best option. As for taking care, well, I want to be blown up about as much as anybody else on my ship - that is not at all."
