ooc: Who remembers Kaz? I know, I know, this is something like my fourth re-intro. I plan to stay this time.

It would be nice if our guests (see below marked only as 'they') were old acquaintances (not created in the last 4 months, and have RPed with me at least once), just because. The thread will open up more later, but for a while I'd like just me an another. I don't mind tagging, but mods are welcome to do as they please (as if I could stop them...)

Oh, and if you find the post to be short, mysterious, or lacking in direction, it's because one can only do so many re-intros with stock storyline. I'm willing to let this one drift where it will, and improv. a bit until we find a good direction.

Ic: The Maritime Vessel Bopp was tied to an anchor buoy 10 meters from shore. Jim (Jim Bopp, he had always wondered why anyone would name him that) lay on his side, eating grapes. Grapes, wine, bread and cheese, that is. One needs to know the situation before understanding, though. You see, Jim had parked the Bopp in a shallow and sandy bay, several kilometers from where he had it kept. It was his baby, a small 4.4 meter catamaran. The wind blew so that he was angled 45 degrees off parallel to the shore and had a perfect view of both the sparkling sea and the green-covered hills of the coast. The water was warm and the sun almost hot, a problem which the spray and breeze took care of. In all aspects, it was picture perfect. The grapes, wine, bread and cheese completed the image, and he enjoyed them all while he reclined on the springy grid canvas stretched between the two hulls.

He bit into another grape. Like the others, it squirted a delightful and refreshing blast of flavor into his mouth. He laid back and looked up at the sky, blue and cloudless. He knew what that meant. Rain. If anything was sure, this planet's whether patterns were. Sun brought rain. It had something to do with storm systems pulling in local moisture or maybe a pressure wave or something else. He had been told once. He didn't care. He liked the rain too.

Another, far more interesting spectacle caught his eye first, though. A small, bright flash. They had arrived.

A Toori Dreadnaught class heavy assault cruiser floats on through a near-by system, on a reconisance mission. It emerged from behind the shadow of a ringed gass-giant and was blinded by the sunlight of the near-by star. The windows in the bridge tinted to compensate, as Ko'Mav, the Protoss in command of the ship looked over data readings on his consul.

A single object orbited this planet, and it wasn't big. The station had just enough space for 3 full sized vessels to join, assuming they docked at the nose, a small bay, and only a few dozen personnel. The planet was similarly developed and populated.

Nathan Jacobson sat in his office, one of three with one wall transparent so as to give a magnificent view of space. Currently he faced the distant nebula, admiring its wonder. His door made a sound, and then, being unlocked, slid open. "They're here. There's another ship too, one I don't recognize right away." His voice changed. "Transfer. Enlarge." at his commands an overlay on the window brought up an image of the uninvited, though not yet unwelcome ship. "Results?" Nathan inquired. "Not yet," the computer responded. "Let it be for now."
"And our planned visitors?"
"I don't know that they intend to dock. We'll see."
