"A million will do"

Cavourna kept a straight face, that amount of money was not to be sniffed at but there was no way he was going to let something like that stand in his way/. He would take court-martial and demotion if necessary. He would pay the money himself if he had to. But it would suffice.

Frosty woke up with a gasp, he was so sore he could barely move his arms.

OCC: lol, maybe your right, but cmon, it would be funny while it lasted.

Two Medics were at his side in seconds
"Stand still, please, Sir. You have been badly injured. We need to ensure you will not collapse again"

Frosty turned in the medical bed, his laser wounds were not completely healed.

"A million will do"

Cavourna kept a straight face, that amount of money was not to be sniffed at but there was no way he was going to let something like that stand in his way/. He would take court-martial and demotion if necessary. He would pay the money himself if he had to. But it would suffice.
Kartosh nodded happily. "And because we're all ready, we can go right now." He turned and walked back up the ramp. Score. He and Skyler gave eachother a high-five. "You old pirate." muttered Skyler. Kartosh grinned. "You know it, babe." They sat down at the pilot and co-pilot's chairs. Sasha swiviled around to look at Cavourna. "I wonder...will I live to survive the experience?"
OOC: True, NC, very true. It would be. In fact, that would be pretty damn interesting.

"I cannot" Cavourna sighed from his chair and looked away in shame, "Robert's right. I cannot abandon sixteen warships when they need me most. So consider this a proper assignment for which you have been hired"

He stood up
"Under Order 07 of the APN Military command structure, I enlist the Star Snake as an Alversian Military vessel with the designation APS Star Snake or AMW-12746. Your Primary mission is to disable a SASM Pathfinder and rescue a Lieutenant Commander being held hostage aboard it. Secondary objectives are alerting Battle forces to your location and rescuing a Calaveran aboard, also a prisoner. You're fee will be 1.5 million credits to be delivered upon completion of your mission"

Cavourna looked at Kartosh and Skyler, "Is there any assistance you will require?"

Kartosh looked thoughfully at Cavourna. "One, can we just blow the bloody ship up, and two, do you want the Doctor-General alive?" Behind him Skyler cocked her assualt rifle. "Besides, that bastard still has my katana...somewhere." she muttered.

"In answer to your questions, yes, if the situation allows it blow the damn thing to kingdom come. I will leave the option of weither you leave him dead or alive down the situation at the time, however if he were NOT to survive I will not make waves over it"

He gave a small grin "Good luck"

Kartosh gave a thumbs up and wiggled his ears. "Right, let's go." He went inside and a few seconds later the Star Snake lifted off and zoomed out of the hanger. "Jumping..." Skyler muttered, and the Star Snake entered the system where the Pathfinder was at the moment, cloaked. Kartosh looked around, confused. "Where is the damnbloody thing?"

One ion pulse later and the Star Snake had been taken offline in terms of power, weapons and shields. Only life-support remained online as the Pathfinder came up slowly behind the Star Snake and captured the ship in a tractor beam. They had been outwitted, as had others.

Surrounding the Star Snake there were no less than eight hulks, all Alversian, all burning. Then a tired and strained voice came onto the radio

"Star Snake you have been disabled and are defenseless. Please allow for a boarding" It was Ashe's voice.

Blackwater banged on his door " Hey, let me speak to the general."

Blackwater banged on his door " Hey, let me speak to the general."

"Sorry, Sir but the Doctor-General is busy at the moment, another time perhaps" There were now four Marines standing guard on the corridor outside the room now

Blackwater turned red " Busy!!!, doing what, picking up the floating corpses of my freinds!." he kicked over the table in the room.

"No, picking up the bodies of Alversian fools who tried to stand in our way" the Marines smirked, "We want to see what these bodies look like when they thrown in acid. Or when all fluids are drained from them. There are all sorts of possibilities" The Marines laughed, "That's all they're good for alive or dead"

Blackwater wanted dearly to kill these men, and he was sure that as soon as the news of the parathon reached home, it would be war, but maybe he could bring him to Home then surround him. " I could take the general to Kash!"

One ion pulse later and the Star Snake had been taken offline in terms of power, weapons and shields. Only life-support remained online as the Pathfinder came up slowly behind the Star Snake and captured the ship in a tractor beam. They had been outwitted, as had others.

"Star Snake you have been disabled and are defenseless. Please allow for a boarding" It was Ashe's voice.
"Well," said Kartosh, looking sheepishly at the females, "that sort of worked." They were all armed to the teeth, but had been hoping to enter covertly. There was chance of being able to fight their way out. Kartosh shook his head and prepared for the Marines to come in. Normally he would do this with a bomb and some throwing knives, but now was neither the time nor place.

Frosty looked at his life signs, he wasnt great, his eyes widend as he relized, he was still a prisoner, he remeber a troop rescuing, his eyes darted around the room, they were going to take him to Xscipia for execution.

A flash of light and a stun beam spread throughout the Star Snake. The beam would knock out any organic being within the Star Snake itself. Without shields or counter abilities, there was no chance of avoiding it.
Ashe's voice came back onto the radio
"I'm so sorry. Please forgive me"

Blackwater's Quarters

"Kash? That monkey? Why should we care about you? Experiments would work on you too. You have invented many techniques that we would find useful. Your species will be interesting to study on an operating table. And all concentrated into one little station. How convenient, an emtire race to ourselves" The Marines spoke the truth and he revelled in it. It was as though he could already see the thousands of Calaveran dead.

Blackwater turned white, if the station fell, Calaverian would just be some humans that were wiped out in one fell sweep " Home wont fall so easily doc."

"Hmm..." said Kartosh, "No Marines coming aboard. That only means...oh fuck..." the stun beam hit the two Xiscapian Mercenaies and the Halfbreed and they fell to the floor, Stunned. Kartosh's last thought before blacking out was: I need to get one of those...

When the Xiscapians and Sasha woke, they were each in an individual cell of their own, hands bound tightly behind them, stripped of all weapons.
Doctor Olsen stood facing them, smiling, a heavy guard behind him
"Nice to see you two again," he said to Sasha and Skyler "And you've brought a friend" he looked at Kartosh and laughed
"Brilliant capture wasn't it? All thanks to our new tactical rat. Her commands, her voice, her idea. Wonderful isn't it?"

Blackwater turned white, if the station fell, Calaverian would just be some humans that were wiped out in one fell sweep " Home wont fall so easily doc."

"It will, trust me, it will. Then you will be just one of a thousand species we have to cut up and play with. Trust me, you will fall to us and it will be so easy" The Marine licked his lips "The mighty Calaverans on our tables" He laughed loudly "This is going to be so much fun" The other Marines laughed as well.

It was usually the other way around, what a wierd sight to think of his people on the table and the knife, no, he wouldnt allow it, he would die first. " Easy, that station has the ability to destroy a planet, you fool."

"No it doesn't. It is protected by a mere handful of Alversian and Xiscapian warships. We can brush aside their resistance. The Scout Divisions will penetrate your station and then..." He could hide his excitment no longer "Target practise. And the survivors will be used to decorate my livig quarters. Or put into my burgers. Or we could play my favourite game. Fire them into space and see how long they survive. An Alversian survived thirty seconds once, won me two thousand credits. Although I doubt your pathetic race will last even half that"

Blackwater sunk " You better hope i dont escape this room doc."

"My life means nothing, Only the Advancement of Social Medicine matters in this universe. Knowledge over peace, Strength over diplomacy, Brutality over compassion" The Marine smiled "Our fleet assembles to strike at the Station and it will fall. Oh, how it will fall. This will be so much fun. I don't know what I'm looking forward to most, the shooting or the slicing up afterwards. We were once thought to be similiar, that was wrong. You are far too pathetic to be even put in the same category as us"

Blackwater laughed at him " There are thousands upon thousands of troops on the station, you will barely make it through the front door."

"The Scout Divisions have smashed through millions of troops from Baekara, from Xiscapia, from Alversia, from Danaversia and thousands of other species. Your troops will offer minimal resistance" The Marine snorted "If they offer resistance or if we get bored, we can blow it out of the sky. There is no stopping Advancement"

Blackwater thought, he must be trying to scare him. Blackwater yelled " Where's my dam whiskey."

"Here it is, Sir" The Marine smiled menacingly "We will be rendezvousing with our fleet shortly, then" He laughed loudly
"Hometime"

Blackwater started taking large swigs, he wanted to get very wasted, he sat down and played with his armor.

The Emperor gave a louder sigh. He had recieved a message from a servant that the Emperor wanted to meet with him. And now Wolf was gone. Perfect. "When will Sgt. Nichole be here?" he said aloud.

"like i said when she gets here , she could be lost for all i know,as if you not use to our ships you could easy get lost"said Snow rolling her eye

"when have we became her dam Keeper"asked Mira

"here listen to the message and see it said you want to see him not the other way around"Sky as she pushed a button

"the caftsman we hired said they be finish in four days"said Lady luck

OOC: Did you know if you type Cavourna into google it brings up the Embassy Thread?

"Charmed, I'm sure." said Kartosh dryly. Skyler just shook her head, while Sasha bared her teeth. Unfortunatly, without the pointed teeth, it looked more like a wild grin than a snarl. "You'll be sorry," Skyler spat, "you will be. You don't know the power of many things. Try the Force. Try devotion, comradeship...love." she smiled. "So many things you do not know."

The Emperor listened to the message skeptically. "This message was sent only a short time ago. While I was having lunch with some of my guests I recieved word from a servant who recieved word from this ship that the Emperor Wolf wanted to meet me." He looked steadly at Sky. "One of us has been played for a fool." At that moment there was a clanking noise and the door opened. Nichole skidded in, coming to a halt just before the Isans and the Xiscapians. "I'm sorry, we only just docked, I got here as fast as I-" she saw the Emperor. "My Lord." She fell onto one knee, bowing low. The Emperor shook his head sadly. "I am not your Emperor anymore."

"Charmed, I'm sure." said Kartosh dryly. Skyler just shook her head, while Sasha bared her teeth. Unfortunatly, without the pointed teeth, it looked more like a wild grin than a snarl.

"Never have I heard such a load of bullshit in all my years" Dr Olsen shook his head "Knowledge is that drives the galaxy. It's what drove you from your caves and it's what launched you into space. It's also what brought you to me. Now, I presume this is the 'Kartosh' you were talking about? Interesting, two Mercenaries for the price of none. Now I hate to leave but"
He indicated out the window
"My little tactical monkey has just helped anilliate eight of her own Destroyers and she will join you shortly. Good bye" He laughed and turned from the room.

Wolf was in his room sitting on his bed putting on his Combat boots on when there was a knock at the Door

"enter" he said

"Fuck, fuck!" Kartosh struggled against his bonds. They held fast, however, growing tighter. Sasha dropped her head to her chest. There was nothing she could do. Skyler thought out with the Force. Ashe...can you here me? You're coming up on a Calaveran starbase, don't destroy it. For the love of the gods, don't do it, it's xenocide!
OOC: Did you know if you type Cavourna into google it brings up the Embassy Thread?
OOC: I know, I've tried "Xiscapia" and "Alversia" and "North Calaveras" "Kash Wilson" "Foxfire Rose" "Cavourna", lots of things. Most of the time I get our threads and stuff, but I found out there's actually a place called North Calaveras and a movie called Foxfire!

The Emperor merely shrugged. "Well in his absence I don't suppose there's any reason for us to be here any longer. Except..." he glanced to Nichole. "Can we go somewhere private please? To speak alone?" He looked to Sky.

The door opened and Ashe was thrown into one of the other cells. Her eyes were red raw and the left side of her face was beaten black and blue. She didn't seem able to stan under her own power and as soon as the Marines let go of her, she collapsed into a heap, breathing shallowly

"That half-breed got us out of a few tricky spots in these last few hours" One said to Kartosh "And soon, she will lead us to our glorious restorian"

OOC: I though that was cool, Cavourna's on google! :D So's the Crossfire

The Emperor merely shrugged. "Well in his absence I don't suppose there's any reason for us to be here any longer. Except..." he glanced to Nichole. "Can we go somewhere private please? To speak alone?" He looked to Sky.

"Lady Luck find he was taking his time changing in his room which mean he has not had his wound looked at, and only place free now is the games arcade "said Sky

"that bed too small"mutters Nisha

"Somehow I doubt that." said Kartosh coldly to the Marine. Behind his back the cords were slowly unraveling, inch at a time. Skyler wrenched herself forward. "Ashe! What did they do to you? Speak to me!" Sasha began to cry, silently, tears splattering the bottom of her cell.
OOC: Silly Alversia, everything's on Google! Just typing in "Xiscapia" will get you practically every thread I've ever been in!

In reply Ashe could only groan, the Marines laughed and left the cells, sealing them tightly
"Oh, by the way, the Doctor-General told me to tell you that any attempt to escape will be dealt with harshly" He gave an evil smile to Ashe
"I doubt our tacticial officer could survive another round of questioning" They left

Ashe managed to prop herself up against the wall, she was in the same cell as Sasha
"Gl-glad to s-s-see you again" Ashe stuttered, managing to give a weak smile

"You're not looking so hot, I'm afraid." said Kartosh. "Just a moment here..." Sasha got onto her knees, hands still tied behind her back. "Damn it, there's nothing I can do! I can at least help you with the bruising." She wiggled her hands ineffectually. Skyler sighed and looked at Ashe. "Reach out with the Force. Try to touch me. I can give you some of my power, but you need to take it." She pressed against the bars, trying to get as close as possible.
OOC: I didn't realize you had a new story on Storywrite! Well, play-thing, but whatever. I read it, it was pretty good. Nice characters, plot's a little dull, but other than that it's great.

"Lady Luck find he was taking his time changing in his room which mean he has not had his wound looked at, and only place free now is the games arcade "said Sky

The Emperor turned his head. "Vanadict, please go to the arcade. Take Nichole with you. I will stay to speak with the Emperor." Vanadict nodded. "Follow me, please." she said softly to Nichole. They exited.

OOC: Yeah, Feedback was bollocks so it's been discontinued

IC:
Ashe gave another weak smile and looked out at the central panel
"C-comp-computer deactivate bonds in cells g-gamma, alpha and beta. C-c-clearance is Reyes 1221"

The bonds on each Kartosh, Skyler and Sasha seemed to melt away

"W-why did you come back?" Ashe gasped out and sank to the ground again, breathing rapidly and coughing.

The Emperor turned his head. "Vanadict, please go to the arcade. Take Nichole with you. I will stay to speak with the Emperor." Vanadict nodded. "Follow me, please." she said softly to Nichole. They exited.

"W-why did you come back?" Ashe gasped out and sank to the ground again, breathing rapidly and coughing.
Kartosh stepped forward, moving closer to the cell, his hands free. "Oh, I don't know," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasim. "I kind of liked the scenery, the pleasant people, the relaxed atmosphere." He raised his eyebrows. "We're here to rescue you, of course! And hopefully blow this tub up, too." He looked around. "Now if someone would kindly give us our weapons back we'd be set." Skyler looked at the bars of her cell. "Not exactly..." she said dryly. "We're not out of the cells yet." Kartosh looked around him. "Oh. Yes. Right." He looked to Ashe. "I don't suppose you have the clearance to unlock the cell doors?" Skyler reached though her bars and toutched Ashe. A bit of lifeforce went out from her and into the Alversian. the bruises faded a little and some strength was restored.

Ashe, feeling immensly better thanks to the force treatment from Skyler sat up, then found her strength had deserted her again.
"I'm afraid the Doctor wouldn't trust me with the cell keys" Ashe smiled "Would I still be here if he did?" Then she sank to the ground again
"Where is Alex?" She asked hopefully.

"I'm afraid the Doctor wouldn't trust me with the cell keys" Ashe smiled "Would I still be here if he did?" Then she sank to the ground again
"Where is Alex?" She asked hopefully.
"Cavourna," said Kartosh, "couldn't come. He has fleets to command, which, with any luck, will already be on their way here." He walked but to the bars of his cell. They began to bend, slightly, under the influence of the Force.
OOC: I have to go, can't say when I'll be on again.

OCC:what's up!

OOC: Fair enough, sometime tonight or tomorrow? BTW The bars are energy based, think Star Trek.

Ashe sighed heavily and slid down the wall to the ground
"H-he wants to destroy the Calaverans. He plans to restore the Society and invade Alversia" Ashe gasped "He wants me to bypass the defences and help them get into the station."
"What have I done?" She asked, spitting blood from her mouth, some of which splashed onto Sasha "Sorry about that"

"Fuck, fuck!" Kartosh struggled against his bonds. They held fast, however, growing tighter. Sasha dropped her head to her chest. There was nothing she could do. Skyler thought out with the Force. Ashe...can you here me? You're coming up on a Calaveran starbase, don't destroy it. For the love of the gods, don't do it, it's xenocide!

OCC yes there is, i named my nation after the county i live in.

The door to Blackwater's room opened and the Marine Lieutenant entered followed by no fewer than a dozen heavily armed comrades
"You're coming with us, Animal" He smiled evilly

Blackwater was now fully wasted and was rolling around on the floor, and yelling " If you want a Calaverian, come inside! You bastards!"

One of the Marines managed to inject the Calaveran with a syrum that would instantly sober him up. Two held him by the arms until he was sober, they let go.
"Time to go" the Lieutenant stated

Blackwater was now fully wasted and was rolling around on the floor, and yelling " If you want a Calaverian, come inside! You bastards!"

"Lay me doon in the caul caul groon
Whaur afore monie mair huv gaun
When they come a wull staun ma groon
Staun ma groon al nae be afraid
Thoughts awe hame tak awa ma fear
Sweat an bluid hide ma veil awe tears
Ains a year say a prayer faur me
Close yir een an remember me
Nair mair shall a see the sun
For a fell tae a Z'mos gun"

sing a Clone who Vanadict and Nichole would as he was standing in the Warship's Corridor near the state room

He stood up and stumbled for a second " What is it!"

"Doctor Olsen wants to see you in the labratory" The Marine stated calmly

He stood up and stumbled for a second " What is it!"

Blackwater walked with them to the labratory " What's up doc."

The SASM laboratory was a strange, smoke filled room. It seemed at first to consist of just one narrow corridor. However, once one got inside the full horrors were revealed. There were thousands of people within the vast halls, screaming, crying, calling for loved ones or begging for their lives. None of it mattered, knowledge was more important than compassion in the world of the SASM.

Along one side of the hallways there were hundreds of beds, each with a subject strapped to it’s steel surface. Half a dozen Scientists stood over each one with interest. They were talking and laughing excitedly at the barbaric practices they were inflicting on the innocent civilians from the colony.

On table, an Alversian’s arms had been connected to a strange machine, and they were slowly pulling them apart. After a few seconds of the Alversian’s blood curdling screams two sharp cracks rang out and his arms lay on the floor, blood pouring out from the sockets. The man was screaming in pain now and the scientists seemed to find this tedious. One simply walked up to him rammed a pierce of sharpened glass into his Adams apple. The screams were punctured immediately and the man slowly started to drown in his own blood.

On another table, there was a screaming Xiscapian girl, she couldn’t even be ten yet and the Scientists seemed to removing her ribs one by one. Not with scientific tools but by ripping their hands into her chest and tearing them out. The ground was awash with blood and body components and the sickening smell of death surrounded the whole area.

Elsewhere, there was an Alversian Female who was being force-fed the remains of her husbands corpse. She cried and sobbed with each mouthful that was forced into her. Then one of the Scientists seemed to simply blow her stomach clean away, knocking her to the ground.

There was another Xiscapian male who seemed to have a thick pipe rammed down his throat. Although his eyes were red raw, he could do nothing but retch and choke, then the pipe slowly began to fill with ruby red blood. The man choked a few more times before he was filled with blood and simply fell, lifeless to the floor.

One of the last ones to the end of the hall was a Xiscapian female not unlike Sasha in appearance, however, one of the scientists seemed to be cutting each of her joints off one by one with a blunt, rusty sword. A series of hands and legs rested in a pile beside him and the girl’s screams could be heard over the deafening cries and screams.

Dr Olsen stood on a catwalk over the butchery, watching and laughing, breathing in deep the smell of rotting flesh and fresh blood. He turned as Blackwater approached
“Welcome Major, how do you like our humble operation?” He indicated to the hall.

Blackwater had seen this kind of thing, but not to this magnitude " This isnt experimentation, its pure torture." He frowned at the smell " You corrections are actually correct, you are nothing like us, your just sick."

Blackwater had seen this kind of thing, but not to this magnitude " This isnt experimentation, its pure torture." He frowned at the smell " You corrections are actually correct, you are nothing like us, your just sick."

"You think so Major? I'm dissappointed. This is the fate that awaits HOME station that all your people are based on. This is not some pathetic dissection, we don't care if there any survivors to put in a zoo. All We want is what we need and throuth this we will get it. Already our databanks have been increased in size by 11%. Imagine the data from an entire race" He seemed to be too excited for words, "The thought of that knowledge waiting to be unlocked. It is a highly exciting time for us"

OOC: NC TG

Blackwater clenched a fist tightly and swung at the doc's head.

ooc know where you got that idea from

OCC: responded, gonna make an OCC thread for it.

OOC: You do? I just thought of it, I think

OOC so you never seen BL famous post

ooc know where you got that idea from


OOC: You do? I just thought of it, I think

Blackwater clenched a fist tightly and swung at the doc's head.

The two Marines behind Blackwater hit him hard on the head with their rifles and knocked him to the ground
The Doctor did not seem harmed from the punch but instead looked as though he had enjoyed it
"The Drunken Major has courage after all. Throw him in the brig with the others he will be the first we dissect once we reach HOME 1 and the rest of the fleet"

The Doctor leant down and whispered in Blackwater's ear

"And you thought you were bad? Welcome to the real world Major" He was dragged away

OOC: Responded

OCC: go to xenocide forever Alverisa, so we can talk about it there.

Blackwater stared at the doc with no expression as he was dragged away.

bump-

OOC: Could you bump it?

The Doctor smirked and turned to one of the crew
"How long until we rendezvous with the fleet?"
"We'll be with them in seven hours, Doctor-General"
"The Alversian Task Forces?"
"Too spread out trying to engage us, they will not intercept before we reach the fleet"
"Good" The Doctor sat down at a desk and closed a series of shutters, keeping the screams and the gore out from his office, "Very good. Our time is at hand, Researcher. It's time to retake our place as the peak of evolution"
"Indeed, Sir"
"Send the findings to the rest of the fleet, they will find it useful trying to find a weakness in the defences"
"Of course sir"

Olsen sat back and watched out the window in joy, "Soon. Very soon" He smiled to himself.

"Sir! We're recieving a transmission!" An Ensign called from one of the consoles.
"The Star Snake?" Cavourna asked from the raised platform
"Negative, it's a SASM pattern, broadcasting to Sector 409385 from Sector 409102"
"It's the Pathfinder, it's communicating with something. Set all ships to maximum warp and lay in an intercept course" Cavourna ordered
"Sir, even with maximum warp it will beat us to the Sector. The 8th Flotilla couldn't stop it, all eight ships destroyed. Casualties: 13,500 dead"
Cavourna sank into his seat and sighed. He had taught Ashe well, too well. How do you beat someone who knows all the tricks?
"Robert, maintain our speed and prepare the ships for battle. We need to catch that Pathfinder"
"Aye, Alex, it will be done" Handsen nodded and turned away to rile up his crew.

"Come on Kartosh, were are you?" He muttered under his breath.

There was a lot to lose, already Alversia had lost heavily
2,000 Civilians
11 x Warships
19,200 x Military Personel killed

APS Canvas

Frosty rolled off of his bed as he crawled down the hallway, he needed to escape.

SASM ship

Blackwater sat at his table and took more drinks, he threw the bottle at the wall " A whole people.....destroyed?"

APS Canvas

The Marines quickly found Frosty and started to bring him back to the Sickbay "Sir, you have been badly injured. You are bleeding internally. You must let us treat you" One of the Medics ran along side, conducting scans as he went
"Not good, his two arteries in his arm are about to burst We need to operate"

SASM Pathfinder

"Why not, Major? Don't pretend you have never thought about not with your lifestyle" One of the Marines appeared "You must always have known it would happen someday"

Frosty yelled " Your gonna kill me, you bastards, im not going to Xscipia!"

SASM Pathfinder

Blackwater smiled " Hey, nothings happend yet comrade."

APS Canvas

"Sir, please calm down! We are not heading for Xiscapia! We are on an intercept to engage a Pathfinder. It has taken your Major hostage I believe" The Medic cried out in an attempt to keep Frosty calm "Sedate him, quickly!"
"Aye Sir," One of the other Medics stuck a hypo-spray to Frosty's neck, filling him with a sedative.

Pathfinder

"You truly believe you can escape your fate? You saw what we can do to your fleet. The Alversians don't even know we're coming and the Xiscapian...there aren't enough to repel one Pathfinder let alone an entire fleet. Face it Major, your people are destined for one of your own tables" The Marine laughed

APS Canvas

Frosty fell out of reality as the sedative took over

SASM Pathfinder


Blackwater replyed " Why did you say you wanted to be freinds, and then you take an Observer out?"

APS Canvas

When Frosty woke up he had a guard of three Marines within the sickbay. Cavourna stood beside his bed
"How are you feeling?" He asked sympathetically

Pathfinder

"That is how we work, you fool" The Marine sighed "We establish friendly relations with a species, then slowly start to remove them, one by one. By the time they realise something is wrong, it's too late we will have control of their defence systems and major commanders. We were hoping to try again but I guess we shall have to be a little more direct this time. The last time we tried to be friendly" The Marine shivered "We were defeated. Badly. It will not happen again. Not this time"

OOC: Any sign of the Infected? They would be cool for this RP (Based on the Borg, I assumed?) I've been reading over the old threads.

OCC: i have a great idea XD, will tell you in the Xenocide thread.



Frosty stared at her " Well, not to great, being shot repeatidly is not something im used to."

SASM pathfinder

Blackwater sighed " Well, I guess i can only say to hell with you and your people."

OOC: Oh yes? I don't want the SASM infected

APS Canvas

"You're military sentence has been suspended temporarily while we deal with a far greater threat than your people ever faced. Do you know the Observer Parathon?" Cavourna asked calmly

Pathfinder

"Oh, why Kane? Why hate us for doing what you have always done? Your people have been throwing other species into tables for centuries. We just do it...on a bigger scale, that's all" The Marine smiled again "We aren't so different. Our two species"

Frosty nodded " Yes, It is cammanded my captian Maximus, he is a young captain, just out of training, why?"

Pathfinder

Blackwater shook his head " I guess we are......after all."

APS Canvas

"I'm sorry I have to tell you this but" Cavourna sighed and swallowed but forced himself to continue "it was destroyed within a matter of seconds by a very powerful warship known as a Pathfinder. It also has Major Blackwater aboard as a captive. We are pursuing them as we speak"

Pathfinder

"Indeed. Drink?" He offered Blackwater a glass "You have allowed yourself to sympathise with inferior races. They are only here so we can become more advanced. That is why life exists. To increase the knowledge there is available to our people. We will be united as one again"

Frosty closed his eyes and nodded " Get those bastards."

Pathfinder

"So how is killing us going to bring you together?"

APS Canvas

Cavourna nodded "We will Frosty, we will"

Pathfinder

"War is coming to this galaxy, a war the likes of you have never faced in all your years. The SASM Empire will rise again and we will have unlimited specimens. Only one people know our secrets, the things we do and why we do them. We must eliminate them all!" He said savagely "But there is always room for survivors" He hinted to Blackwater.

APS Canvas

Cavourna nodded "We will Frosty, we will"

Pathfinder

"War is coming to this galaxy, a war the likes of you have never faced in all your years. The SASM Empire will rise again and we will have unlimited specimens. Only one people know our secrets, the things we do and why we do them. We must eliminate them all!" He said savagely "But there is always room for survivors" He hinted to Blackwater.

Pathfinder

Blackwater frowned " If they are to go, then I am."

Pathfinder

"Then I must throw you into the brig" the Marine stated "all your little friends are there, including the one who will win us the battle"

Blackwater held his out as if to be handcuffed " Lets go chief"

"No, I'm not going to dignify you with handcuffs, you will follow us now Major" The Lieutenant was now accompanied by no few than eight Marines, "The Doctor-General wants to talk to you first in the biolab"

Blackwater enterd the lab " What do you want now?"

The biolab was different to the room Blackwater had been in earlier. In here, dozens of species were suspended in liquid filled tanks. Some had no arms, others had the tops of their head moved. One was even missing a lung although no one had bothered to sow up the gap. There was an Alversian there with his entire face missing, apart from his tongue and his eyeballs. All the tanks were filled with bits of grizzle, meat and bone

"Ah yes, Major. Like our stasis tanks?" The Doctor looked up from his paperwork to smile, "I don't believe you have advanced this far have you?"

Blackwater smiled " This is kid shit, we are much farther than that, matrix links my freind."

"Really?" The Doctor tapped a button on his console and turned to one of the tanks, in one there was now just dust

"I have increased the age of that Male over there by 8,000 years. I can edit the DNA of any species in the galaxy in any way I desire" He smiled "But that is not why I called you here. There is something else I need"

Blackwater became expresionless " What do you want from me?"

"Hold on" He tapped a few buttons and the Male's dust regrouped until his semi-complete body had returned to it's original state. "This is my favourite speciman and I don't want to lose him yet"

"This is what I wanted you for" He showed Blackwater a small chip "This is a cerebral cortex command chip or C4 for short. And You are to be my next guinea pig"

Four Marines gripped Blackwater strongly by the shoulders and forced him to his knees.

Blackwater dropped his head " This wont be the end, I swear you will pay."

"I don't think so. When I put this into your cortex, you return to normal. However when I tap this button, you will obey any order I give you. Without hesitation" The Doctor Laughed "Stand still, I'm not going to waste any painkillers on you so this will sting. A lot."

Doctor Olsen rammed a sharp instrument into the neck of Blackwater, digging deeper and deeper into his head to get to the right spot. The four Marines held him down firmly.

He struggled as hard as he could until he fell forward breathing heavily.

"It's in" Doctor Olsen took a step back "Revive him and release him"

The Marines released Blackwater and one of the Scientists gave him a boaster to wake him up.

As soon as he was awake, Olsen pressed the button and gave an order

"Drop to your knees"

Inside Blackwater's voice, his own voice seemed to instruct
"Drop to your knees"

Blackwater dropped to his knees " What the hell?!"

"Good. Very good" Olsen smiled "Wipe his memory of the past 24 hours and throw him back into his quarters. Knock him out"

The Marines saluted and injected Blackwater again.

When he woke up, he would have recollection of what had happened over the past day, including the plan to attack HOME, the biolabs and the masses of Specimens being massacred in the hull of the ship.

he woke up " What the hell happend" his head hurt slightly he must have passed he thouguht " You know this room is realy boring!"

bump-

bump-

OOC: Fair enough, sometime tonight or tomorrow? BTW The bars are energy based, think Star Trek.

Ashe sighed heavily and slid down the wall to the ground
"H-he wants to destroy the Calaverans. He plans to restore the Society and invade Alversia" Ashe gasped "He wants me to bypass the defences and help them get into the station."
"What have I done?" She asked, spitting blood from her mouth, some of which splashed onto Sasha "Sorry about that"
IC:
Sasha just wiped the blood off with her hand, looking faintly sick. She didn't say anything though. Kartosh gave a grim smile. "I wouldn't cry if he did kill the Calaverans, but I suppose we must try to stop him." he paused. "Excepting the fact that I have no idea how to get out of this damned cage." Skyler let her spirit wander. She suddenly recoiled, both spiritually and physically, bumping into the bars. "I sense death on this ship." she said. "Horrible, slow, painful death." Kartosh looked at her. "Labs." was all he said. But they understood. Like the Calaverans before them, or, technically, after them, the SASM had developed the thirst for tourture in the name of science. Sasha stood up and gripped the slowing energy, yet still solid, bars. "How do we get out?" she looked at Ashe. "Any ideas? Any at all?" She helped the Alversian sit up.

"Wolf enters in dress in full combat gear and looks at Foxfire through his Goggles
"so whats this about me asking to see you i've been busy taking that base out there"said Wolf as Lady Luck stands next to him
The Emperor shrugged. "For what I believe is the fourth time today, I was told by a servant that you wanted to see me. I finished my lunch and came up here, only to find out that I had not been expected and everyone was rather surprised and confused by my appearance." His yellow eyes, now ice cold, surveyed the Isans present. "I apologize for the circumstances, but there is some things I would like to discuss."
Halls...
Vanadict looked around hopelessly. "The Isans aren't big on maps, are they?" They were lost. Unsurprising, as it seemed only those who worked there had an idea where they were going. She looked at Nichole. Nichole shrugged. "No idea, I haven't been on this ship for very long either." Vanadict looked around her and spied an open door. She slipped inside. Empty, maybe a unused cabin or something. She shut the door and turned to Nichole. "Now we may speak in private."

"Yes, there is a way out, it is..." Ashe cried out and scrunched herself into a ball, clutching her side and sobbing softly "S-s-s-sorry, the way out is.." this time she screamed in pain, "There is an override panel somewhere behind the cell wall! Find it! Please find it! Help me!" She turned over, screaming in agony, "Please, Lord, somebody help me!"

Doctor Olsen's Office

"Doctor, we are approaching the fleet. It is time" One of the Crewmen stated

"Really?" He looked at his watch "My goodness, time does fly when you're having fun. I had hoped to get a bit more done but it can wait until our restoration. How many have survived the purges?"

"About 800 Specimens, Doctor" The faithful Crewman answered

"Do it. When we next meet, Lieutenant, We will have changed beyond recognition. Send the crew in groups of 500. Start with the Specimens. We need soldiers to make this work"

"Of Course Doctor"

As the crewman rushed out. Doctor Olsen smiled and looked around his office, filled with memories. He got up and left, turning off the light as he went.

Kartosh and Skyler looked at each other. Then they turned hurriedly and begam to desperatly feel along the cell wall. Sasha did the same, beside Ashe. Kartosh shouted. "I've got it...I think I've got it!" He slammed on the wall and a panel appeared. He pressed the big red button, glowing in the center. The bars abruptly vanished. Sasha knelt down beside Ashe. "Get control of yourself..." she whispered, holding onto her as if she was afraid the First Officer would blow away. "Get calm..."

Ashe ignored Sasha and continued to roll around on the ground screaming loudly, then sobbing for a few seconds then screaming again. She was still clutching her side
"Ha-hangar 2, your ship is..." She screamed again, "...your ship is there, go!"
Then she started to scream again
"Help me! Mother! Mummy please! Alex! Anyone! Anyone please," She sobbed loudly "Help me!" Then she started a piercing scream again.

The Emperor shrugged. "For what I believe is the fourth time today, I was told by a servant that you wanted to see me.

"Ha-hangar 2, your ship is..." She screamed again, "...your ship is there, go!"
Then she started to scream again
"Help me! Mother! Mummy please! Alex! Anyone! Anyone please," She sobbed loudly "Help me!" Then she started a piercing scream again.
"She's going to alert the crew..." muttered Skyler. Kartosh nodded solomnly. "You know what you have to do." Skyler knelt down and a ringing blow to the head later Ashe was unconcious. Kartosh pointed to Ashe's limp form. "Sasha, load the First Officer aboard the Star Snake." Sasha shook her head violently. "No. I'm going to find Blackwater!" She looked hard at both the Mercenaries. "I'll try to get back to you. If I don't...go on without me." She turned and took off, though the door. Kartosh glanced at Skyler. "Alright, you load Ashe into the Star Snake. I've got a few explosives to set..." he smiled evily, "but first, I've got a certain Doctor-General to meet." He kissed Skyler, then walked calmly down the hall Sasha had gone down. Skyler sighed and hoisted Ashe onto her shoulders. "You're not as heavy as I thought you'd be..." she murmered as she stalked off to Hanger Two.

The Emperor smiled mildly. "Nevertheless, I do need to know one thing..." his smile turned grim. "How's Star?"

Despite the fact that Ashe was unconcious, she continued to convulse violently, shaking and jerking viciously. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead. Then the door to the brig opened, confronting Skyler with three of the strangest Creatures (http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/t/terminators.jpg). One stepped forward

Skyler sighed. "Why did I not think that was going to work?" She, still carrying Ashe on her back, backed up a few steps, then propelled herself in a mighty leap over the robots heads onto the deck on the other side. She took a second to right herself, then ran as fast as she could.
Halls...
Kartosh and Sasha looked at each other. "Okay..." They followed the robots. "This is not a good thing!" hissed Kartosh to Sasha.

As Skyler jumped over the Bionics, they turned rapidly and in perfect step, firing their weapons as they did so. Each shot missed Skyler and Ashe by mere millimeters. Then the Bionics were following at a leisurely pace. In front on them were no fewer than two dozen of the Bionics

In the middle was a black Bion standing with three others in blue. As he turned, his eyes narrowed

Kartosh stared, open-mouthed. "Ye gods..." Not that he believed in any gods, but it seemed appopriate for the situation. Skyler was simularly shocked. Sasha, however, was unimpressed. She was too tired, scared, angry, hurt and sad to be intimidated. "Where's Blackwater?" she shouted. "What have you done with him?" Kartosh glanced around. Not good. Not good at all.

"You tell me where he is, you bucket of bolts, or I'll scatter you all over this room, and your little friends too." she growled.

"The planet," said the Emperor coldly, "does not concearn you. The covoys attacks are convoy attacks, Emperor. Everyone knows about them. As to Sgt. Nichole, she will not be returning."

"you are a fool, you know well more going after them the faster it ends ,and do really know how to care for a vampire your liitte force wont work so well on them" Wolf said as the room turns to ice

Suddenly, there was an explosion off in the corner of the room, throwing several Bioroids off their feet

"DAMAGE REPORT: MINIMAL. SHIELDS PENETRATED AND OFFLINE: ION DAMAGE" A loud voice seemed to boom

"DAMAGE IS ION BASED. TECHNOLOGY IS ALVERSIAN FORMED. CLOAKED SHIP. COMPATIBLE. PREPARE FOR DISSECTION"

The thousands of Bioroids answered as one
"ORDER CONFIRMED"

Kartosh's radio kicked into life
"No harm to you mate but if you don't want to spend the rest of your life as a tin can, I suggest you run rather quickly. Ashe is just outside the door. The SASM are trying to find us. Hurry up!"
It was Cavourna's voice.

"you are a fool, you know well more going after them the faster it ends ,and do really know how to care for a vampire your liitte force wont work so well on them" Wolf said as the room turns to ice
"Emperor, do not try and reason things you are ignorant of. I believe we can handle a vampire just fine, no Force involved." The Emperor was not actually angry, merely annoyed. He looked, yellow-to-red eye at Wolf, former soldier to warrior, fox to wolf.

"No harm to you mate but if you don't want to spend the rest of your life as a tin can, I suggest you run rather quickly. Ashe is just outside the door. The SASM are trying to find us. Hurry up!"
It was Cavourna's voice.
Kartosh grinned. "Cavourna, I knew you wouldn't let us down!" He reached into his belt and took out a little silver sphere and pressed the yellow button on the top. He had been waiting to use this for ages. It was a bomb, of sorts. An Infinite Matter Relocator, highly illegal, very dangerious, a lot of fun. It did basically what a beam transporter did...except rather more messily. He tossed it into the midst of the Bioroids. "Remember, kiss my shiny metal ass." He turned and ran from the room, followed by Skyler and Sasha. He and Skyler ran for the hangers, after scooping up Ashe and carrying her between them. Sasha, however, ran a different direction. "Wait! Where are you going!?" cried Skyler. "To find Blackwater!" came the distant reply. The mercs looked at each other. Kartosh sighed. "I wait a minute, not more than that." They ran for it.

Many of the Bioroids in the room were destroyed, throwing pieces of metal and brains were thrown many different directions. However, soon there were more walking down the corridors after both the mercenaries and Sasha

"Kartosh" Cavourna's voice was strained "They're bringing their shields back online, when they do I'll lose contact. Good lu.."

He was cut off.

A little way behind, several of the Bioroids began to fire their weapons

"ALL HOSTILE VARIABLES WILL BE ANNILIATED!" They cried in one voice

"Emperor, do not try and reason things you are ignorant of. I believe we can handle a vampire just fine, no Force involved." The Emperor was not actually angry, merely annoyed. He looked, yellow-to-red eye at Wolf, former soldier to warrior, fox to wolf.

Wolf did not get to talk as the AI showed up

"sir fleet was too late and the they are through the Chaos Gate and heading for Gold outpost'

WQolf smash his fist into the table smashing it to bit

"no i well not let them kill all of those man ,woman and children ,beam the The Emperor ,his Aid and my family over to the base we taken and order the fleet to jump and ready to fight we will die then let them destory Gold"said Wolf

"sir i've beam them over

the Fleet left leaving Emperor Fox , Vanadict and Wolf's Family all standing in a mess hall

OOC oh i got something planed for Wolf family

Many of the Bioroids in the room were destroyed, throwing pieces of metal and brains were thrown many different directions. However, soon there were more walking down the corridors after both the mercenaries and Sasha

"Kartosh" Cavourna's voice was strained "They're bringing their shields back online, when they do I'll lose contact. Good lu.."

He was cut off.

A little way behind, several of the Bioroids began to fire their weapons

"ALL HOSTILE VARIABLES WILL BE ANNILIATED!" They cried in one voice
Kartosh flipped the things off over his shoulder as they ran. They got to the hanger and, slipping on the deck, jumped into their ship. Turrets immediatly popped out of both the top and bottom and began shooting everything. Bunkheads, docked ships, Bioroids, the deck, anything the beams focused on was melted to a pile of slag.
OOC: Should probably wait for NC to get back online before anything happens with Sasha, and I have to go. See you lot tommorow. :) Cheers.

ooc: I have to go as well

The blasterfire from the Turrets struck the Bioroids and several fell. Despite this, the rest continued to push forward, firing en masse at the Star Snake
"YOU WILL BE ANNILIATED!" They cried as one again.
There were now hundreds pouring into the Hangar and now they were all firing at the Star Snake with heavy weapons.

Blackwater ran down the halls, desperatley trying to find Sasha after the blast, he raised his voice " Sas...!!!" and a viloent pain was sent through his skull, he fell over and got back up, shaking.

bump-

bump-

OOC: TG NC

OCC:replyed as well.

Three days later

Helmet Cams record every thing that Wolf and the troops see as they move through out the base ,they record the Chaos markings and other Chaos things that was found as well as bodys through out the base as they searched for Wolf's Mates, Children and survivors of what happen to the base

"two days old"said a soldier as he checks a laser burn mark on a Clone body
"Goa'uld scum"said a Clone as he kicks over a body of one

"sir we find Empress Sky ,Snow , Mira ,Arya, Natasha, Sara Macbeth Luck and Aphril, but no Nisha, Joy or the Pups"said a Clone as he walks up to Wolf
"take me to them"said Wolf
"sir you not going to be happy"said the Clone as he leads Wolf to them in a hall
"no"said Wolf as his eyes and his Helmet Cam see that they had been Raped ,Tortured and had other horrors done to them
"sir they are alive, but been out cold for at lase for a hour "said a Medic
"Wolf"said a weak voice of Natasha as she wakes up
Wolf walks over to her kneels and rested her head on his lap
" the Dark Goa'uld they taken Nisha, Joy and the Pups you got to save them wolf, i over heard before passing out they going to be sacrifice to open a porthole,those bastards are going to do it by cuttinng open Nisha and pulling out her womb will she alive and placing it in a bowl and mixing it with blood from the cut throats of Joy and the Pups" Natasha said all this to Wolf with tears in her eyes before passing out again
"take them and tigers to a destroyer ,it's to return to the void and go to Hope,place them in the same room as you know who*is"said Wolf as he got up and looks at the Tigers laying dead where fell trying to guard their mistress
"sir"
Wolfs Mates and Tigers were carefully picked up and carried away to a drop ship and sent to a destroyer which left once they were on board it

Panserbjørne

Wolf was looking out the front of window of the bridge at the base
"it tainted with Chaos it must be destroyed, stand by to fire a torpedo"said Wolf
"sir should we send a message to the Xiscapians of why they have a new star four ligth years away from them"said the Captain
"they know by what we be sending "said Wolf as he take off his Helmet and place it in front of him

"Emperor Fox Rose you now seen what we are facing and seen what they did to my own wifes and heard what going to happen and what we did, all so it fifty thousand years may pass before your people have contract with us again"said Wolf into the Cam before tuning it off and taking the chip out and passing it to a Tech

"send all that on my chip in a message to Fox ,we have a copy of his voice so voice lock the message so only he can unlock it when you send it to him as we pack jumps to save my family" he said to the Tech as he takes the chip
"sir"
Wolf turn to the front as he puts on his Helmet back on
"fire torpedo ,send message and jump"order Wolf

a torpedo leave the panserbjørne forward tubes and the Wolf pack jumps a min after as the torpedo heads for the base and the message for Rio Casa

ooc* it Star he talking about Fox got told for a reason that she was dead and Nichole had all the things given to her taken off her before she went back to Rio Casa, which mean she can't go into the sun no more

The blasterfire from the Turrets struck the Bioroids and several fell. Despite this, the rest continued to push forward, firing en masse at the Star Snake
"YOU WILL BE ANNILIATED!" They cried as one again.
There were now hundreds pouring into the Hangar and now they were all firing at the Star Snake with heavy weapons.
"Taking fire," said Skyler in a strained voice, "shields holding at 90%." Kartosh grimaced. "A.I., open fire with the main cannons." The forward blaster cannons errupted with a rapid stream of blaster bolts as tall and thick as a man. They could do significant damage to the inside of the ship, but they fired into groups of Bioroids and picked off the stray ones.
"Emperor Fox Rose you now seen what we are facing and seen what they did to my own wifes and heard what going to happen and what we did, all so it fifty thousand years may pass before your people have contract with us again"
The Emperor played the message. He played it twice, just to make sure he understood what he was hearing. He looked at Vanadict, who was equally stunned. "The Isans..." she said. The Emperor nodded. Vanadict sighed deeply. That was that.
Blackwater ran down the halls, desperatley trying to find Sasha after the blast, he raised his voice " Sas...!!!" and a viloent pain was sent through his skull, he fell over and got back up, shaking.
It wasn't hard to find Blackwater. Sasha ran to him, and slipped as the ship rocked. She fell beside him and began shaking him. "Blackwater! We have to leave, now! This whole ship's gonna blow!"

The cannons blew away whole sections of Bioroids, each time however a whole new horde would appear, each giving the same cold metallic cry
"ANNILIATE!"
The ship shuddered again and Cavourna came back onto the radio
"Hurry up! They're starting to triangulate our position and we can't keep this up forever!"

Suddenly, Ashe turned and started to convulse violently, moaning loudly, tears running down her cheeks and holding her side.

Elsewhere, in the hangar a loud voice boomed
"WE ARE THE SASM. YOU WILL BE DISSECTED. YOU WILL ACHIEVE PERFECTION"

"Bugger! I'm losing you again, sorry. Hold in there" He was gone again.

"Bugger! I'm losing you again, sorry. Hold in there" He was gone again.
"Gods damn it!" Kartosh roared. "I'm getting us out of here!" He seized the controls and the Star Snake lifted off from the hanger. All the guns stopped firing and the turrets retracted into the merc ship. A message went to Sasha:
"Sorry, we can't wait any longer! You'll have to find your own way out. Good luck. Oh, any don't come back to the hanger."
With that the Star Snake zoomed out, blaster fire bouncing off it's shields. At the last moment a missile laucher deployed from the bottom. It turned and fired a proton torpedo inside the hanger, which flew inside and slammed into the floor. There was a massive explosion and the Star Snake, already in space, was pushed forward by the force as the hanger was obliterated. Inside the Pathfinder Sasha groaned. "Fuck."

~MESSAGE INTERCEPTED: SOURCE HANGAR ONE. DESTINATION: DECK TWO

~PLAY CONTENT OF MESSAGE

~HALF-BREED AND CALAVERAN ISOLATED ON DECK TWO, CHANCES OF ESCAPE 5%

~DIRECT BIOROIDS TO DECK TWO. THEY WILL BE DISSECTED

~ORDER CONFIRMED. ORDER IMPLEMENTED

Along one of the corridors, a column of Bioroids suddenly stopped. Then, in one voice they called out
"COMMAND CONFIRMED"

They turned and headed for Deck Two.

Meanwhile outside the ship, Cavourna managed to send a message to Kartosh

"HOME's under assault. The SASM have begun their war. We need to find a planet and escape the Pathfinder"

Strangely, the Pathfinder did not pursue but instead turned and, with smoke pouring from her hangar, jumped into warp

"Gone to join the rest of the fleet near HOME" Cavourna stated over the radio "How is Ashe?"

Ashe was not having a good time of it. She was twisting and turning and the ship was filled with her heart-piercing screams and pitiful calls for help.

OOC: Actually, the Star Snake was in Hanger 2.
IC:
Kartosh messaged back:
She's not doing so well, Captain. I don't think she's in a right state of mind.. Ashe defninitly requires medical attention. I'm heading for the Canvas right now.
Pathfinder...
Sasha stared around as she felt the ship jump. "Oh no..."

"The Emperor played the message. He played it twice, just to make sure he understood what he was hearing. He looked at Vanadict, who was equally stunned. "The Isans..." she said. The Emperor nodded. Vanadict sighed deeply. That was that.

from no where a voice specks to both of them

"oh he finds them and save them an as for the fifty thousand years , it be longer before you ever seen them in known space again as the war last for fifty six thousand years "

Kartosh messaged back:

Pathfinder...
Sasha stared around as she felt the ship jump. "Oh no..."

OOC My bad

"I'm not on the Canvas" was Cavourna's reply "There is a system nearby, it is uninhabited. We need to land now and prepare the Task Forces for the upcoming struggle"

Sure enough, the image of a moon appeared, then Ashe started to write and twist even more violently before, screaming and begging for help.

from no where a voice specks to both of them

"oh he finds them and save them an as for the fifty thousand years , it be longer before you ever seen them in known space again as the war last for fifty six thousand years "
The Emperor frowned at the unknown voice. "Why? Is the situation so desperate that they cannot spare contact nor word of any kind of fifty-six thousand years?" he shared a glance with Vanadict, who merely shrugged helplessly.

The Emperor frowned at the unknown voice. "Why? Is the situation so desperate that they cannot spare contact nor word of any kind of fifty-six thousand years?" he shared a glance with Vanadict, who merely shrugged helplessly.

"yes as the ISA are outnumbered and the Imperials are at the forefront of the figthing seeing they are the oldset race of the Isa and due to them bordering the Dark Goa'uld Space"

OOC My bad

"I'm not on the Canvas" was Cavourna's reply "There is a system nearby, it is uninhabited. We need to land now and prepare the Task Forces for the upcoming struggle"

Sure enough, the image of a moon appeared, then Ashe started to write and twist even more violently before, screaming and begging for help.
"We'll be there," came the reply. "but Sasha and Blackwater are still aboard the Pathfinder." As Ashe began to scream and cry once more, Skyler turned and jammed a needle into her shoulder. It was a sedative, designed not to keep her down for long, but rather to bring her back to her senses after she woke. Nevertheless, it put her to sleep. The Star Snake turned and rocketed away into hyperspace. It arrived in-system long before the Alversian task force did.
"yes as the ISA are outnumbered and the Imperials are at the forefront of the figthing seeing they are the oldset race of the Isa and due to them bordering the Dark Goa'uld Space"
"And it never occured to them," said the Emperor loudly, "to ask us or any of our allies for help? If the war is as dire as you say, then they would need all the help they could get."

However, instead of the large modern fleet of Alversian Dreadnoughts that had been part of the Task Forces. Instead there was an old looking ship. It looked as thought it hadn't been in action for decades. They were hailed. A voice came from the ship

"Do you have a shuttle you could transport over on? This vessel is too small for a shuttle or for the Star Snake to land on. The rest of the fleet will arrive shortly" It was Cavourna.

Kartosh stared at the ship. "Uh...negative that. What's that hunk of junk called, and what does it do?" Comparing to the sleek, modern Star Snake to the ship was like comparing a ironclad to a battleship.

The sound of Cavourna laughing coulf be heard

"This is a little surprise we had tucked up our sleeve. I think I've found a shuttle over here. I'll be there in a few moments"

A moments later, Cavourna and two Medics were over at the Star Snake. The two Medics worked on Ashe fereverently. Cavourna knelt by one, speaking as he worked. After a few moments he got up and walked to Kartosh

"She's suffered extreme internal bleeding and also severe trauma to her internal organs." He said darkly, "The Medics need to take her to the Phoenix to try and treat her there. She must have been in so much agony" He shook his head bitterly "Those animals are beyond cruelty"

Kartosh looked sick. "They do things in there...to the colonists. They cut off limbs, make them eat each other's still warm flesh, fill body cavities with fluids and metals...and then you know what they did? They transferred the conciousness to Bioroids and made them their slaves." He shivered. "They're like the Calaverans...if you give the Calaverans better technology, more ships, and zero soul." Skyler was beside Ashe. She spoke to one of the Medics. "Will she make it?"
Outside the Star Snake the shuttle was attatched by a airlock, the Star Snake being the size of a patrol and nowhere near the size to be able to have a hanger.

"And it never occured to them," said the Emperor loudly, "to ask us or any of our allies for help? If the war is as dire as you say, then they would need all the help they could get."

"it does not concearn you as you are not a race of the void and or do you know how to get there or not to die from decaying the very second if you ever enter it"

"mm i find it funny when wolf was willing to help you, you said does not concearn him and i find it funny all so that Nichole
change her mind once you showed up on wolf flagship,all well too bad about what happens to her she would have been safe where wolf sent his family now i grow bored good bye"

Cavourna shook his head
"I know, the Bioroids were used against us last time. The SASM War was fought against billions of Bioroids. We were only just able to defeat them."

Cavourna leant against a bulkhead "They will attack the outer colonies. They will try and 'Dissect' as many people as possible. Then they will assault our core worlds. It's ironic, isn't it? Our weapons now are more powerful than they have ever been. We have more sophisticated weaponry, better shielding, cloaks. And they will be our downfall. We need ships like that"

He pointed out at the Phoenix

"ADS Phoenix, P-Class Dreadnought, withdrawn from service 106 years ago. Used as a musuem ever since. She is about as modern as the snails on our homeworld, yet she carries the peak of anti-SASM technology. Rotating Freqeuncy sheilds, Ion cannon, multi-adaptive hull armour. Technology we long gave up as obsolete. Who knew they would still be at the peak today?"

One of the Medics shook his head

"Sorry, ma'am but her internal organs have taken a heavy beating. We don't know if she'll pull through"

"The other Medic spat on the ground "How in the name of all Freedom could someone do this another living creature? She's been virtually gutted from the inside"

"it does not concearn you as you are not a race of the void and or do you know how to get there or not to die from decaying the very second if you ever enter it"

"mm i find it funny when wolf was willing to help you, you said does not concearn him and i find it funny all so that Nichole

"Wolf," said the Emperor sharply, "should not stick his nose where it does not belong. There is nothing funny about this situation. Your Emperor did not mantain order." He realized he was speaking to empty air. He sat down, finally, on the shuttle's bench. Vanadict sat next to him. They rode the rest of the way in silence. Nichole was in the cockpit with the pilot. They finally landed back at the Palace, where they disembarked. Night was falling, and rain still dashed itself along the Palace walls, splattering below. Nichole was grateful for the lack of sunlight. "I need to be getting back." she said. The Emperor shook his head. "No," he said, gently but firmly, "you are my guest at the Palace tonight." They entered the main hall, shaking water away from themselves. The Emperor and Vanadict's robes did not seem wet, but Nichole's plain shirt and pants were soaked though. She was shivering in the cool Death Season air. The Emperor took pity on her. "A servant will escort you to your quarters. Dinner is at eight." Nichole bowed low. "Thank you. You are...very kind." She walked away, a sevant leading her. She looked to a series of doorways, three of them with names on them. Pat...Indigo...Gerrak...I wonder who they are? she thought as she pushed open her door to enter her room.

Cavourna shook his head

"The other Medic spat on the ground "How in the name of all Freedom could someone do this another living creature? She's been virtually gutted from the inside"
Kartosh shook his head. "The Xiscapian military still uses Ion cannons, and this ship uses multi-adaptive hull armour." He sighed. "I refuse to believe that some resurfaced, ages old SuperCalaverans can beat the most modern our technology has to offer."
Skyler shook her head. "They're all bastards. What can I say?"

Kartosh shook his head. "The Xiscapian military still uses Ion cannons, and this ship uses multi-adaptive hull armour." He sighed. "I refuse to believe that some resurfaced, ages old SuperCalaverans can beat the most modern our technology has to offer."
Skyler shook her head. "They're all bastards. What can I say?"

"Unfortuneatly, even if they have resurfaced, they are still at least 250,000 years ahead of us in terms of technology. We developed this over 400 years ago, It was used in our ships until 100 years ago when we developed more advanced weapons. Unfortuneatly, our new weapons are as ineffective as our pre-ion weapons. The SASM are still too advanced for us. The Ion cannon need to be made to a certain frequency. Only one that we possessed, unfortuneatly it rots in the bottom of some database somewhere while we are being destroyed" Cavourna muttered unfortuneatly.

The Medics just nodded and started to carry Ashe across to the Phoenix. She was now on life support and the Medics were struggling to keep her stable during the transport.

"Wolf," said the Emperor sharply, "should not stick his nose where it does not belong. There is nothing funny about this situation. Your Emperor did not mantain order."

"and it not funny the over trillion of Imperials will die to stop a mad man Your Emperor did not mantain order Wolf is not emperor to US little man and for your infor we played the part in the making Nichole and was controlling every thing that happen that day" said a new voice to him


"sh don't tell him we did that with Wolf wife and her,wolf find out you he came after us" said a second voice

"too later big mouth did" said another

OOC dam Gods like to mess with things :P

"Unfortuneatly, even if they have resurfaced, they are still at least 250,000 years ahead of us in terms of technology.

The Medics just nodded and started to carry Ashe across to the Phoenix. She was now on life support and the Medics were struggling to keep her stable during the transport.
"How, then, can we hope to defeat them?" Kartosh shook his head. "It would be bad for business if Xiscapia and Alversia were destroyed." There was a ringing noise from the control panel. Kartosh held up a hand to Cavourna and pressed the button. "Kartosh here." He listened. "Well, I'm on contract right now, but-" his ears perked and his eyes widened, his tail swishing erratically. "That much? You don't say...straight from her? Uh-huh." he listened some more. "Right...timeframe? A week? You're kidding me. Even the best fleets around in this sector can't even catch them. No. We're fast, but we're not that fast." He closed his eyes. "Alright. Yes. Under those conditions, I accept. And I get a copy of all technology. Right. No, thank you." He pressed the button again and turned around to face Cavourna and Skyler. "That was XNHQ. They've asked me to...do the impossible. They want me to track down a Pathfinder, board it, kill or incapitate the crew, and bring it to Xiscapia. They're offering..." he swallowed. "Ten. Million. Credits." He shook his head sadly and flopped down in the pilot's chair. "There's no way in hell I'll be able to do that."

"and it not funny the over trillion of Imperials will die to stop a mad man Your Emperor did not mantain order Wolf is not emperor to US little man and for your infor we played the part in the making Nichole and was controlling every thing that happen that day" said a new voice to him

"too later big mouth did" said another

OOC dam Gods like to mess with things :P
"You lot again! I don't believe in gods-" he stopped. "You did what with Wolf's wife?!" A passing servant gave the Emperor a worried glance. It wasn't like him to talk to thin air...

"How, then, can we hope to defeat them?" Kartosh shook his head. "It would be bad for business if Xiscapia and Alversia were destroyed." There was a ringing noise from the control panel. Kartosh held up a hand to Cavourna and pressed the button. "Kartosh here." He listened. "Well, I'm on contract right now, but-" his ears perked and his eyes widened, his tail swishing erratically.

He shook his head sadly and flopped down in the pilot's chair. "There's no way in hell I'll be able to do that."

"The average Pathfinder has a crew of at least 15,000 Bioroids. It is capable of a very high speed and it is doubtful that you will be able to take one before at least eight more arrived" Cavourna rationalised. Then he recieved a message over his radio. He went pale and looked at as though he were about to be sick

"The Pathfinders have struck again, we have lost 56 warships and a 190,000 Alversians killed. They have also taken 150,000 Alversians and Xiscapians for dissection"

Cavourna looked up again

"You want a lone Pathfinder? I think I've found one. It's about 15 lightyears away, scanning the outer moons for life. Trying to find more Bioroids for war" He sighed darkly.

"You lot again! I don't believe in gods-" he stopped. "You did what with Wolf's wife?!" A passing servant gave the Emperor a worried glance. It wasn't like him to talk to thin air...

"they go by many names Fox but the main name they go by is the Three Joker"said Wolf showing up

"so you made her lost the fight of holdng back the thirst for fresh Blood and run off to find some dam you three, should have guess it be you if i was not so busy as she a strong willed woman"said Wolf as he waved a hand so Fox could see three short poeple near him

"The average Pathfinder has a crew of at least 15,000 Bioroids. It is capable of a very high speed and it is doubtful that you will be able to take one before at least eight more arrived" Cavourna rationalised. Then he recieved a message over his radio. He went pale and looked at as though he were about to be sick

Kartosh looked at Cavourna. "This heap has their technology..." he considered. "Let's get the motherfuckers." Skyler was already at the control panel, manipulating the switchs and joysticks. Kartosh nodded. "Go, Cavourna. See if your ship can keep up. We're going to bag ourselves a Pathfinder."
"they go by many names Fox but the main name they go by is the Three Joker"said Wolf showing up

"so you made her lost the fight of holdng back the thirst for fresh Blood and run off to find some dam you three, should have guess it be you if i was not so busy as she a strong willed woman"said Wolf as he waved a hand so Fox could see three short poeple near him
The Emperor growled, deep in his throat. "Why are you here?' he asked the three indistict forms. "What do you want?"

Cavourna just stared straight ahead
"Captain Ian Malon of the Caricature, Captain Samantha Alonso of the Cateracts, Captain Cillian Murphy of the Electra, Captain Terry Gerrard of the Cauldron. All dead"

Cavourna took a heavy breath

"Ashe is in a coma, there is doubt if she will pull through. We need to get a Pathfinder but we can't just walk up and take one" He moaned, "It's impossible, not during five years of war did we ever come close to capturing one"

Kartosh literally grabbed the Alversian, shaking him by his shoulders. "That was then! They're dead, there's nothing you can do! The future of multiple worlds, our people, of billions, maybe trillions, are at stake. As I told Ashe, snap out of it. You can grieve later. Right now, if we don't act, everyone we know and love, including Ashe, is going to die." he was angry and confused. But most of all the rough Xiscapian mercenary was scared. Frightened as he never had been before. Skyler looked on mutely.

The Emperor growled, deep in his throat. "Why are you here?' he asked the three indistict forms. "What do you want?"

"to have our little fun"said all three in a sining song voice

"what you did with my wife and that woman not funny,now i have to fix the time line so it never happen and deal with you three as well"said Wolf in voice that put fear into them

"Fox that means, i never meet you ,my wife hold herself together till she back on the ship she came here,where she would get help and the attack at the base you saw all so would never happen, but war on the other hand will start but you would not fully know how long it will last " Wolf now say to Fox as he watch the three

"But...but..." the Emperor sputtered. "That would alter the course of reality! You can't go messing around with the past, it'll affect the future. Think about it," he said desperetly, "maybe this was the way it was meant to be. Maybe it all had to happen."
OOC: Seriously, though, that would be a total Godmod. Besides, that would render pages of posts null and void, and I'm not willing to do that.

Kartosh literally grabbed the Alversian, shaking him by his shoulders. "That was then! They're dead, there's nothing you can do!

Frightened as he never had been before. Skyler looked on mutely.

"We need to find a way to pierce their shields without alerting them. The Phoenix may be able to creep on them for a certain while but they will not be indefinately fooled" He slapped himself "Thank you for that, I have fought in dozens of battles, why am I so frightened now? What is it that I am so scared off? Maybe the fact we are trying to do with one ship what hundreds of species and thousands of species could not"

What is it that I am so scared off? Maybe the fact we are trying to do with one ship what hundreds of species and thousands of species could not"
Kartosh just grinned. "Yeah, but they didn't have us on their side, did they?" he said cockily. "I say that we creep up on them, cloaked, like you said. Your weapons may be able to pierce their shields, and then we need to get into the hanger. Barring that, we make an airlock of our own, if you know what I mean, and go in that way."

"But...but..." the Emperor sputtered. "That would alter the course of reality! You can't go messing around with the past, it'll affect the future. Think about it," he said desperetly, "maybe this was the way it was meant to be. Maybe it all had to happen."

OOC i know got it coverd just need to know what you doing with Nichole as really she the key to this
dose she stay here or dose become Ambassador for you in Void

OOC i know got it coverd just need to know what you doing with Nichole as really she the key to this
dose she stay here or dose become Ambassador for you in Void
OOC: She'll become our primary Ambassador to your lot, yes. She's a soldier after all, but she'll train under Vanadict.

Kartosh just grinned. "Yeah, but they didn't have us on their side, did they?" he said cockily. "I say that we creep up on them, cloaked, like you said. Your weapons may be able to pierce their shields, and then we need to get into the hanger. Barring that, we make an airlock of our own, if you know what I mean, and go in that way."

"If you pierce it's hull it will alert other Pathfinders in the area. If we pierce their shields again, they will alert other Pathfinders. If you land in their hangar bay, chances are you will be greeted by a few hundred of their robotic marines. No, we need to trick them into thinking there is nothing there when in fact you are" Cavourna gave a weak smile "Hide the unhideable"

"Great," Kartosh muttered, "real helpful. How, exactly, do we board a ship, without alerting anyone of our presence, get to the Bridge, and highjack it? Do you have any suggestions? Cloaks will take us to the ship, no problem, but it's the getting inside that's the problem."

"If we are able to 'change' you shields to match their own, then you may not be detected by their sensors. But once you are inside, then it is up to you what you do" He thought for a moment

"If you could disconnect the Server from that particular Pathfinder then it may confuse it long enough for you to disable it in some way. This will be one of your more challenging missions I think" Cavourna smiled again.

ooc oh scary i some how got the feeling it was going to be that


"it may or may not let me see" said Wolf as he move his hand as if he was turning the page of a book

"now i'am shocked" Wolf said when he was finished

ooc if you want Fox to have some good news best tell so can add it in what wolf find ,wolf of course will not tell him what ,just that something good will happen to him
OOC: Why is that scary? Does Nichole frighten you? :p
IC: The Emperor raised his eyebrows. "Uh, what just happened, if you will please enlighten me?"
OOC2: In what manner do you mean "good news?" TG me the answer.

OOC: She'll become our primary Ambassador to your lot, yes. She's a soldier after all, but she'll train under Vanadict.

"Obviously. I've never tangled with an ancient race bent on the detruction of multiple species and worlds." Kartosh said dryly. "How, exactly, would you "disconnect" a Pathfinder from the "Server?" Skyler looked outside the Star Snake. We may be running out of time...

Cavourna thought about it
"400 years ago, strategists believed that if the Server could be disconnected from the Pathfinder, even for a few moments. It would be without orders or purpose. When that occured a team could creep aboard and disable the rest of the ship. Again, it is only a theory. No one ever got close enough to try it out" He admitted. He suddenly put his hand to his ear again and swore loudly

"Another battle, another defeat. Three Dreadnoughts, two Battlecruisers, four cruisers and six Destroyers. 47,500 Military Personnel killed, 30,000 Civilians dissected"

Cavourna looked at Kartosh in desperation

"This can't go on. This isn't even the main Pathfinder fleet and it is gutting us"

OOC: Why is that scary? Does Nichole frighten you? :p
IC: The Emperor raised his eyebrows. "Uh, what just happened, if you will please enlighten me?"
OOC2: In what manner do you mean "good news?" TG me the answer.

OOC TG done and she don't,just that you and me had the same idea did
i wait TG back
EDIT
IC

"well i looked into the Book of Time,it's how i look into the Time line and well it was all meant to be and i know i should not tell you this but i'am going to to make up for our meeting ,two certain ships of your are going to have success in cpaturing what they are after"said Wolf then turn to the Three Jokers

"get lose and don't came back here every again"

Cavourna thought about it

Cavourna looked at Kartosh in desperation

"This can't go on. This isn't even the main Pathfinder fleet and it is gutting us"
"What the hell!" Kartosh exploded. "These people are monsters! How in could they do this? Tell me, and do it quickly: How do you disconnect a Pathfinder? Surely you must have some idea. A jammer, or something?"

"A jammer could work" Cavourna shrugged "I have never really thought about disconnecting the Server from a Pathfinder. Nobody even bothered trying it before. But for a permemant solution, I would suggest something alone the lines of a virus? It is a computer, so we infect it with a virus perhaps?" He asked, raising his eyebrows.

Kartosh's location

Three Breeders exited hyperspace, detecing the vessle using there bio-advanced infer-red sight. The hulking ships jam packed with warriros and virus boarding frigates were medium to far range from the vessle, The voice answerd them, its low-pitched down mammothed the other thoughts aboard the ship. " We are the infected, lower your shields, you will be intergrated within us and find new duty and life, resistance...is...unadviseable."

"Hmm...you may be on to something." Kartosh sat back down at the controls and typed in something. A file popped up on the screen and Kartosh scrolled though quickly, the lines blurring as the A.I. helped his search. "No. No, not fast enough. Nope. Won't do. Uh-uh. Hmm..." he stopped. Highlighted was a locked folder named "URAL82". He opened it and read quickly though the specifications. "This might work. Transmitted by beam, reads and adapts to host system. It acts as a parasite, latching onto the system and closing outward ports. It should close communications, at least long enough for us to get inside."
"well i looked into the Book of Time,it's how i look into the Time line and well it was all meant to be and i know i should not tell you this but i'am going to to make up for our meeting ,two certain ships of your are going to have success in cpaturing what they are after"said Wolf then turn to the Three Jokers

"get lose and don't came back here every again"
The Emperor frowned and shook his head. "This is all very surrealistic. What two ships could it be referring to?"

" We are the infected, lower your shields, you will be intergrated within us and find new duty and life, resistance...is...unadviseable."
Skyler called out. "Three ships, incoming! Scans show them to be..." she shook her head in amazment. "You guys...you're not going to believe this..."
" We are the infected, lower your shields, you will be intergrated within us and find new duty and life, resistance...is...unadviseable."
Kartosh put his head in his hands. "Why does the universe conspire against me?" "Evasive manuvers initiated." said Skyler. The Star Snake unattatched itself from the Phoenix. "Sorry, Captain," said said to Cavourna, "but as attatched ships we're sitting ducks." She responded to the Infected message with a proton torpedo aimed at the middle Breeder ship.

"Hmmm. Would that Virus be fast enough? The Server is quick to adapt, it would not be long before it came back online. With regards to taking the ship" Cavourna thought for a moment
"If you could reroute a power surge through the Bioroid connected to the navigational controls it may result in a Pathfinder crash. Taking one intact is not possible"

Then he heard the alarm and saw the Breeders

"Damnit! Why does this always happen? Peace for a few years then two Xenophobic destroyers come at once! We'll disconnect and engage, you get to the Pathfinder. You should be able to detect their shield frequency once you're closer. Once you're inside, fire the virus and move quickly, it shouldn't be long before the Server deletes the virus and comes back online"

The Phoenix disconnected and turned to confront the Breeders, they loaded their special Ion Cannon as well as Photon torpedoes.

"If we can get it to crash on the moon, it'll be fine. The military is after the technology, obviously. They don't care about the ship itself." The Star Snake fired it's engines and made best time for the Pathfinder in the nearby system. It's shields configured themselves to conceal it, making it look like nothing was there. It even overrode the gravitational well signiture of the little ship.

The Emperor frowned and shook his head. "This is all very surrealistic. What two ships could it be referring to?"

"Pathfinder"

Wolf then turns and looks at Scar
"how's Joy Shadow Pups Scar"Wolf asked

"wooof wof woooof"Braked Scar

by going by the different tone in the braks Wolf under stand what was said

"yes still yound the did the best they could to help guard them Scar"sadi Wolf

"woof wooof"said Scar

"ok go back and look after them and yes i best go and get back them back" Wolf said Back to Scar before he left

As soon as the Star Snake arrived in the system, Kartosh would have to be awake and alert.

There were no few than ten burning hulks floating throughout the area. At three of the these were Dreadnoughts and all were Alversian. The area was littered with debris and bodies. Small discharges of energy would burst from the ruins or small explosions would tear a piece of debris apart. There were no survivors so that would put casualties at 34,500 dead Alversian Crew. Mercifully there were no Colonies in this area. Not so Mercifully, these ships had been part of the Deep Space Fleet and had been heading back for Alversia with all haste. One of the ships was the Battlecruiser APS Fearless recently returning from a first contact mission.

Strangly the vessel the Xiscapians were tracking had the ID Gamma Delta Delta 23239, making it the same ship that they had escaped from previously, the one Sasha and Blackwater were still on. It was a small Universe.

OOC: The Fearless? Isn't that the ship Reynolds was stationed on?
IC: "Readings indicate that this ship is the one we just escaped from," said Skyler. Kartosh laughed without mirth. "Really? I look forward to paying our dear Doctor-General another visit. And destroying him myself." He fitted the virus into a tiny green dart shaped canister. He stowed it in his belt as he and Skyler finished putting on new weapons. "I hope we don't get captured again," murmered Skyler, "it's taxing our weapons supply." The little ship drifted serenly towards the Pathfinder to latch onto the side. Kartosh took out a firetortch and pulled down his blast helmet. Within minutes where there had once been armoured hull was now a doorway to one of the halls. Kartosh and Skyler jumped into the dark corridor, eyes adjusting in the darkness.
"Pathfinder"

Wolf then turns and looks at Scar
"how's Joy Shadow Pups Scar"Wolf asked

"wooof wof woooof"Braked Scar

"ok go back and look after them and yes i best go and get back them back" Wolf said Back to Scar before he left
"Pathfinder..." breathed the Emperor. He looked to Wolf. "Why are you here? Is there not some great war you are to be attending?"

OOC: He got transferred, the ship was sent into Deep Space.

The hallway was empty for the time being, there were no Bioroids for the moment, they were busy completing repairs of the devastating explosion Kartosh had left as a present. Or they were dissecting their latest gains.

Sasha had been dragged to the Dissection Labs, each lab could take on at least 5,000 people and there four of them on this ship alone. These were designed to be mass-factories. For now however, there were only two Specimens on which to work.

Sasha had not escaped the SASM and now she and Blackwater were pinned to table and being injected with advanced microbes to begin the conversian procedure. Her brain would be altered at the sub-gene level, making it less independant and give it much more capacity to store information. It would also ensure the brain would survive it's transplant to the new mechanical body that awaited it.

She would also be linked to the Server, recieve her commands directly from the ship itself and also be aware of all major updates on the war as well as ship locations and dissection techniques. The effects were already starting to show. Once her brain was 35% dissected, she would effectively be a Bioroid. At the moment it was at 20% and rising.

Her emotions and memories were slowly being removed and replaced with the data needed for a Bioroid.

Kartosh spoke silently to Skyler though their telepathic mind link:
I'll stay here and plant the virus. You need to rescue Blackwater and Sasha, and then find the Bridge. I'll meet you there.
Skyler nodded mutely. Good luck. she took off down the silent, dark, empty hall, towards where she knew the labs to be. On her way she spotted a door marked "Armory". She stepped though and looked around. Deserted. She shifted the weapons around and spotted what she was looking for. Smiling, she strapped her and Kartosh's katana's to her back. At the lab she peeked around the door. Bioroids. One, two, three...eight. That'll do. She stepped around the corner, EMP blaster leveled. "'Ello, you great stupid bucket-of-bolts."
Breached Hall...
Kartosh hacked the computer terminal with ease. He inserted the virus into the jack and smiled grimly to himself. It's time.

Wolf form was starting to go

The virus spread throughout the ship in seconds, the Server was taken offline and almost immediately all Bioroids shut down and went into a state of hibernation. Normally, this wouldn't be problem. The Server's functions would be downloaded to the nearest Pathfinder and it would take over ship duties.

Unfortuneatly, the virus also shut down the Bioroid connected to the navigatonal controls. Normally he would make 2 trillion calculations per second and that would keep the Pathfinder in flight. Although he was only off-line for a few nano-seconds, it was enough to miss several million calculations essential to ship stability.

The Pathfinder swerved off and drew closer to a nearby moon. By the time the rest of the Bioroids rebooted, the Pathfinder would have hit the surface.

It also meant the conversion process for Sasha and Blackwater was halted, they needed to Server to transmit orders and if it was offline, they were offline. Sasha had been saved. Her brain had been 30% converted, but she still had her memories and personality.

It also meant the conversion process for Sasha and Blackwater was halted, they needed to Server to transmit orders and if it was offline, they were offline. Sasha had been saved. Her brain had been 30% converted, but she still had her memories and personality.
Skyler was surprised. The bolt of EMP had already left her gun, smashing into the controls of the coversion machines. The Bioroids were stopped dead as they turned to face her, lifeless. There was no time to lose. She rushed over to Sasha. She looked alright...never mind the fact that she was unconcious. She had several nodes and needles attatched to her head, which Skyler yanked out. She did the same to Blackwater. Both were unconcious. She dragged Blackwater and heaped Sasha over he shoulder, staggeringly carrying them back to the Star Snake. In the Lab was a bomb, set to go off in two minutes. It would utterly destroy the room and everything inside, but not truely damage the ship/
Bridge...
Kartosh arrived at the Bridge to find all the Bioroids shut down. His virus had worked, but who knew for how long? He methodically went to each Bioroid and put a blaster bolt though their head, melting their armor and frying their brains. He looked out at the barren, lifeless moon they were doomed to crash into. I hope this works...
"you only seeing a Form of me that i'am controlling from a far as right now i'am trying to hold in my arms my young wife Nisha,my adopted daughter Joy, my young daughters May and June as will as my young sons Sabre and Blade all at the sametime,after saving them in a bloodly fight"
Wolf form was starting to go

"oh why scar came here to talk to me was not upset Joy more then she is now"
The Emperor nodded. "I...must aplogize for my words aboard your ship. They were unwarrented. I am sorry. As my and Xiscapia's ally, you have the right to know what's going on. Good luck." he swiftly turned around and walked away, lost in thought.

Sasha would be fine, she would wake up within seconds with a few surprises waiting for her. She would find herself more alert, more able retain knowledge and, perhaps most importantly, she would find she had a telepathic connection to the SASM network itself.

The Pathfinder continued to fly down to the surface, already the front was glowing red with the heat of re-entry. There was no way to interface with the system unless one had the specific programmes downloaded. The one pilotdroid had been destroyed and the Server which could have downloaded the programme into a new Bioroid was still down.

as he walks he hears one more thing from Wolf


"fifty six years your time,one year where i'am sending my family for safely and fifty six thousand Void years before you see signs of us again"


then it was that Wolf sent his family away to face the horror of war where he would die many time ttill the war would end by himself

The torpedo impacted the middle breeder, blood and carapace went into space, the hulking beast moaned at the suprise return fire. As the ship was falling in Orbit, the three breeders pursued.

Skyler heaved the two unconcious people inside, Calaveran and Halfbreed. Then, after sealing the door, she took off for the bridge. At that time, however, Sasha awoke. She looked around, dazed and uncertain. The last thing she remembered was kneeling over Blackwater's unconcious body as the Bioroids approached. Now she woke here, and hurt all over. But the first thing that came to her mind was not the pain. She quickly analyzed her situation:
Query:
Location
Answer: Star Snake
Query:
Why?
Inference:
Persons Kartosh and Skyler aboard Pathfinder
Inference:
Plans to destroy/capture Pathfinder
Query:
Assistance?
Answer: Yes
Query: How?
Answer: Quantity shut down of resident Bioroids to prevent hinderence of further operations
Order Implimented
Sasha stood up. She walked shakily over to the weapons rack, where she picked up a blaster rifle and four grenades. She unsealed the door and stepped out, looking for some Bioroids to kill. Suddenly her mind was filled with speech not her own:
~WARNING, COLLISION COURSE DETECTED

~MODIFY COURSE BY .34 DECIHETRZ

~ORDER CONFIRMED. ORDER IMPLEMENTED

~COLLISION COURSE AVOIDED. WEAPONS FIRE. SIGNATURE: XISCAPIAN. DAMAGE MINOR

~MULTIPLE COLLISIONS. SOURCE: DRONE FIGHTERS. DAMAGE MINOR

~FOCUS FIRE ON ENEMY VESSELS IN SECTOR GAMMA ALPHA 23 43 ZETA BETA

~ORDER CONFIRMED. ORDER IMPLEMENTED
She fell to her knees, clawing at her head. Get out, Get out!
The torpedo impacted the middle breeder, blood and carapace went into space, the hulking beast moaned at the suprise return fire. As the ship was falling in Orbit, the three breeders pursued.
Bridge...
Kartosh watched as the moon filled the viewscreen ahead of him. No alteration of course was possible, because the controls were not in sight and would probably have taken longer for him to figure out anyway than they had. Suddenly he saw the Breeders, one with a gaping hole in the middle from the proton torpedo impact. Where are you Cavourna?! Kartosh watched apprehensivly as the Breeder ships drew closer.

The Phoenix burst into view, having left the battle with the Breeders to a group of Pathfinders that had arrived. It seemed that the two Xenophobic Races had declared war on each other. That would make life so much easier.

Onboard the Phoenix Ashe jumped awake, terrifiying the Medics who were treating her. She looked from one to the other. Then she shook her head again and again
"Voices" was all she said "I can hear voices"

And she could, she started to speak out what she could hear

"GAMMA DELTA DELTA 23239 HAS BEGUN ERRACTIC FLIGHT PATTERNS

COMPENSATING. COURSE CHANGE INEFFECTIVE. COLLISION INEVITABLE.

LOCATE GAMMA DELTA DELTA 23239 AND PREPARE FOR SALVAGE OPERATION

ORDER CONFIRMED. ORDER IMPLEMENTED"

She looked at the Medics and Cavourna, who had now joined them. All were staring at her in disbelief

"The Server has intructed three Pathfinders to change course and head for this sector. They will be here in about four hours" She said meekly. The she hsat bolt upright again as new messages came in:

"TARGET. DREADNOUGHT. C-1 CLASS. DESIGNATION CUTTER. INFERIOR VESSEL. TAKING FIRE. SHIELDS HOLDING.

RETURN FIRE. LOCALISE SHIELD FREQUENCIES

ORDER CONFIRMED. ORDER IMPLEMENTED. FREQUENCIES LOCALISING.

PRIORITY LOW. RETURN FIRE TO DREADNOUGHT. FREQUENCIES LOCALISED. WEAPONS HARMONISED.

FIRE

ORDER CONFIRMED. ORDER IMPLEMENTED. TARGET HAS BEEN DESTROYED

RETARGET NEW PRIORITY"

Ashe looked up at Cavourna and the Medics
"We're losing" She concluded sadly. Cavourna was silent.

---

The Pathfinder smashed into the surface of the ice planet. Pieces of machinary flew everywhere as the disabled Bioroids were thrown from their positions. However, the exterior armour and shields held so damage was minor. Only the crew suffered any ill effects. There was silence in the ruins. Then several Bioroids stood up amongst the wreakage. Many where damage and discharging energy or missing limbs. It didn't concern them. They had connected to a new Server and now it was ordering them to secure the wreakage.

Kartosh had been wish enough to used some cord and rope on his person to strap himself in before the crash. Skyler had arrived almost as the ship crashed, and Kartosh held on to her as the Pathfinder impacted. Sasha had not been so lucky. She had been standing in a corridor at the time, and was thrown as the ship smashed itself against the moon. Once the ship stopped rumbling she raised her head:
SECURE PATHFINDER GAMMA DELTA DELTA 23239

TEMPORARY SYSTEM MALFUNCATION OVERRIDEN

INVADING VIRUS DELETED

ALL UNITS SECURE PATHFINDER GAMMA DELTA DELTA 23239
She stood, wobbling slightly, and walked forward hesitantly, then faster, blaster rifle raised. Any Biorods she encountered were to be destroyed. Those were her orders.
Bridge...
Skyler helped Kartosh get out of the ropes he had drawn about himself. "Thanks gods it wasn't worse," he triggered his beacon so the fleet would arrive shortly. "Time for clean-up." he grinned as Skyler handed him his katana.
OOC: Going offline for a while.

The Bioroids were starting to assemble in one of the Cargo bays that had survived, the interior of the ship had been smashed and most of the Bioroids destroyed. But enough remained to hold it until another Pathfinder arrived to destroy it.

INTERIOR SCAN BEGUN

INTERIOR SCANS COMPLETE. HOSTILES DESTECTED

TWO HOSTILES ON BRIDGE. ALL HOSTILE VARIABLES WILL BE ANNILIATED

PROCEED TO BRIDGE. ANNILIATE HOSTILES AND SECURE PATHFINDER GAMMA DELTA DELTA 23239

Acting as one, about three hundred Bioroids shouted out

"WE OBEY!" It was loud enough to be heard from the bridge.

began to move towards the bridge, each marched in perfect step through the battered corridors. The scanners had not detected Sasha as a hostile because, to the Server, she was a Bioroid. She was ordered to the bridge as well as Ashe who it seems had also had the procedure attempted on her.

---

Phoenix

"The Sever knows Kartosh and Skyler are there. It is directing all surviving Bioroids to the bridge to anniliated them. They can't fight against that many for four hours." She said desperatley

"Right, you" He pointed at Ashe and eight other members of the crew "and you lot, come with me. We've got a bridge to hold"

The Alversian Crewmen saluted and soon they were zooming to the surface in their only Shuttle. Each was armed with heavy blasters and EMP grenade launchers but only with limited grenades. It would be an interesting battle.

"WE OBEY!"
Kartosh glanced out the window. "Oh fuck me sideways, can nothing go right?" Skyler was already in action, preparing the defenses. She was in the hall, setting up trip mines and remote detonated packs. Auto turrets went up to, backpack sized things with the capacity for three hundred rapid fire laser shots designed to pour a steady stream of damaging fire at all hostiles. There was no fruniture to move in front of the door, it was a starship bridge after all, but Kartosh set up force fields to hinder the progress of the Bioroids. The third line of defense after the explosive traps, turrets and force fields was a series of tiny suicide drones. There was about ten of them, the size of a tennis ball, colored gray. They were essentially flying grenades, programmed to seek out targets and run into them, blowing up whatever it ran into and some of the surronding area as well. Kartosh and Skyler didn't actually expect this to stop them, or even slow them down much, merely thin the ranks. They knew Sasha was coming, and armed. She would be able to effectively flank them. It was still all a shot in the dark however, desperate manuvers. Even if they did somehow destroy the one hundred to five hunded Bioroids approaching them now, there was no guarentee the Xiscapian fleet would arrive before a fleet of Pathfinders. And if that happened, they really would be doomed.
Halls...
Sasha slunk along, wary of the nearby Bioroids. She did not know she was not identified as a hostile to them, so she stuck to the shadows. Attacking to early would spell certain death to her. Attacking too late would ensure that the Bioroids would get to Kartosh and Skyler. So she followed them, the long ranks of silver soldiers. Some, she noted, were missing arms and legs, large chunks of torso blown away. Not that it would make any difference. As far as she knew, Bioroids were incapable of feeling pain.

OOC*checks to see how things going*

Within moments, Cavourna, Ashe and eight other members of his crew had arrived at the Pathfinder and crashed into a section of the bridge. Cavourna led his men out, coughing and brushing the dust off himself. He looked at Kartosh an Skyler then grinned

"Now this is how I prefer the SASM! In pieces!" He looked around at the wreakage and ruined Bioroids "I wonder what poor buggers these were" He said sadly before turning to Ashe

"How many?"

Ashe waited for a few minutes, then she made an expression of pain and sank to her knees, her head in her hands

"Too many! Too many voices!" She said desperately

"Doctor!" Cavourna urged one of his crewmembers. The man dated over to her and injected her with a kind of syrum.

"That should suppress it for now" Cavourna looked around at his Xiscapian Allies "How far away is the fleet?"

Halls

More and more surviving Bioroids were now approaching the bridge, they were more spread out now, but there were a lot of them now. Sasha would not be detected by the sensors as Organic but the Bioroids would visually confirm that she wasn't. It was safer if she remained in the shadows for the meantime.

There was a great crash and the screetching sound of metal being rent apart. Kartosh and Skyler pivited to aim their weapons at the crashed shuttle, thinking the Bioroid attack had come early. They lowered them and grinned once they saw it was Cavourna and some of his men. At the Captain's question Kartosh shook his head. "They're still a hour out. It's a fleet that's going to bring this ship back to Xiscapia, so they're traveling light, just the ships needed to pick up the Pathfinder and take off." He glanced at the door, from which he knew in a mere five to ten minutes Bioroids would be coming though. "I'd estimate there's anywhere from one hundred to five hundred left. So if we can all destroy about twenty a piece, we'll be doing fine. Not to mention the traps they'l be running into any moment now..."
Halls...
Sasha continued to discreetly follow the Bioroids. She was hardly familier with Pathfinder design, but they seemed to be getting closer to the bridge. Sweat coated her hands as she rubbed her index finger up and down the trigger of her rifle. You're a pilot! her mind screamed at her, you should be flying, not caught up in ground combt! This was mixed with echoing Bioroid orders:

WE OBEY!

ALL HOSTILE VARIABLES WILL BE ANNILIATED

PROCEED TO BRIDGE. ANNILIATE HOSTILES AND SECURE PATHFINDER GAMMA DELTA DELTA 23239

WE OBEY!

INTERIOR SCAN REINITIATED

Meanwhile...

Somewhere in the system, the large, blocky drydock ship remained silent and unassuming. What had happed to those strange little aliens anyway?

"Between 100 and 500?" Cavourna raised his eyebrows "A Pathfinder has a crew of 14,000. Are you telling me most of them were destroyed? Ah well, your traps should hold them for an hour. But we have Pathfinders approaching as well. Of the two meet then this will be the shortest salvage operation in history"

His men started to set up positions in the wreakage, including the Doctor who set up just a little way behind the improvised frontline.

Then Ashe perked up, "Sasha" She whispered.

Cavourna turned to her "What?" He asked curiously

"I can hear Sasha. Through the SASM. She's connected to them. Like me" Ashe calculated, "I can send her a message. Is there anything you need her to know?" She looked at Kartosh, Cavourna turned to stare at Kartosh as well

"We need," said Kartosh thoughtfully, "to know a more approximate number of the Bioroids facing us. If my suspicions are correct, we may be in a lot of trouble." He looked to Cavourna. "Is there any way to fly this thing? To fire it's weapons, open it's airlocks, anything?"
OOC: Hell if I know Isa, you're the one who created that little thing, not me. Perhaps a time warp that enables the war to be over at the same time it started, thus causing it so that the war never existed? It's kind of lame, but it's the best I could come up with on short notice.

"We need," said Kartosh thoughtfully, "to know a more approximate number of the Bioroids facing us. If my suspicions are correct, we may be in a lot of trouble." He looked to Cavourna. "Is there any way to fly this thing? To fire it's weapons, open it's airlocks, anything?"


Ashe waited for a few moments while she tried to talk to Sasha. After a few seconds the message was sent

HOSTILE REQUEST BIODROID NUMBERS. REQUEST DENIED

Hopefully, Sasha would be able to send a message back down the same network. Then she shook her head

"The entire ship is piloted from these interaction consoles. However, the Bioroid needs to be connected to the console to use it" Then she looked around shocked

"How did I know that?" She asked in a rather frightened voice

Cavourna was staring at her concernedly as his men finished establishing their positions. The room was starting to tremble as at least a thousand Bioroids started to approach the bridge.

OOC: Is it "Bioroid" or "Biodroid"?
IC:
Kartosh shook his head. "So you can't link up to it, even though you have a partly Biodroid brain?" Skyler was croutching behind a computer terminal panel near them, rifle poised over the top of it. "They're getting closer..." she muttered, "should be hitting the traps any second now."
Hall...
Sasha was sulking in the dimness of the ship when she heard the message:
HOSTILE REQUEST BIODROID NUMBERS. REQUEST DENIED
She looked at the Biodroids thundering on ahead of her, estimating and calculating. Then she thought back:
BIODROID NUMBERS ESTIMATED AS THREE HUNDRED
Who the hell was that? she wondered. Someone who was an enemy of the Biodroids. And, as they say, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
OOC@Isa: Her mind is made up. She's not going to be some pet guard of Wolf's family. She's staying on Xiscapia, her home, vampire or no vampire. She can be persuaded, however, to become and Ambassador to your people.

OOC: It's all a very bad dream has always worked for me, so have time paradox's ..but this one is my favorite: "I am the cat that walks where I will and all dimentions are alike to me...." * tg if you want an explaination of that

Suggestion- it sounds like y'all bit off far more than you can chew RP wise - let the 'dread pirate Robert' ( IE the warlord who up and disappeared some ten years ) vanish back into the outer reached of the universe to lick his wounds and rebuild.

NC/ Xis / ALV- stay with one race each, stop keep flinging in all these weird a** races- create one nasty race and stick with them. You are over complicating things and making it very hard for people to follow along with what you all are doing.

Get together off board and hash out the abilities of your opponents- I will say that if the Novans got knowledge of SASM - they'd hunt them down and exterminate them - and Novan warcraft will kicks their butts-

To hell with finding out about them - I'm sure the Xiscapians will eventually gladly tell the Novans about them - they will then hunt them down and wipe them off the face of the Universe. And you think the Muri are savage?

You see by intrinsic nature I am a healer, a fixer - and what you have protrayed SASM be is every thing I hold abominable.

OOC:
Believe me, if I had a way to do it, I would hunt down and kill every member of the SASM in the universe. There's no excuse for monsters like them to exist. And it would defeat the whole purpose of the RPG if the Novans just came along and killed them all-apparently Alversia has some grand plan involving them stewing. As if a Civil War isn't enough. :rolleyes:
This is why I have only one race: The Xiscapians. The whole point of the SASM is that they are hundreds of year ahead of any my and Al's races in technology and it's an exercise in how to defeat a technilogically superior opponet.

OOC Xiscapia if she talk to Wolf himself she would have find out a lot more but you have her leave
oh why along war it covers why my lot are not helping in all the other threads
She can be persuaded, however, to become and Ambassador to your people

OOC: Is it "Bioroid" or "Biodroid"?
IC:
Kartosh shook his head. "So you can't link up to it, even though you have a partly Biodroid brain?" Skyler was croutching behind a computer terminal panel near them, rifle poised over the top of it. "They're getting closer..." she muttered, "should be hitting the traps any second now."


OOC: Your choice, I'm not really fussed

Ashe shook her head sadly,
"No can do, sorry" Then she stopped "Sasha guesses there are about 300 of them advancing as we speak"

A series of explosions rocked the bridge

"Maybe a few less now" Cavourna stated from his section of the bridge, "those traps are really working, Kartosh"

Halls

The first Bioroids were thrown back by the explosions, but the rest continued to advance regardless, there were more and more advancing with each passing minute as each Bioroid was ordered to the bridge by the Server.

OOC: May you have the profound pleasure of exterminating them, I'll keep hands off unless they manage to deliberately cross the Novans' path or the Novans get invited in....

Oh and as a member in good standing of the 'Pass It Along Club', Novan technology is available for the asking.( EFG)

OOC3: But seriously guys, and lady, we've got a thread going here. Let's try to keep pure OOC chatter to a minimum, hmm?
IC:
Kartosh sighed deeply at Ashe's answer. "Too bad. I could really use some heavy guns right now," At Cavourna's remark about the traps Kartosh just grinned widely. "Expert trap setter, that's me. I've got det packs, trip mines, suicide drones, autoturrets and force fields. But it's Skyler you should be thanking, she set most of them." Skyler gave a little bow as there was another explosion and the rather annoying noise the turrets made when they were tracking a target. Then it was replaced by the sound of fast blaster fire from multiple guns. "That ought to slow them down." said Kartosh in satisfaction.
Halls...
Sasha only proceeded catiously behind the rest of the Biodroids, scanning carefully to make sure there was no defective traps waiting to spring. There was explosions and blaster fire up ahead, but it would only dent the amount of Biodroids sent to retake the bridge. The narrow corridor leading to the bridge was now a murder hole, as the Biodroids were caught between mines and explosives ahead of them and turrets popping out from the walls and ceiling behind them.

Month later a Cargo ship not of Imperial make but with Imperial Identification friend or foe identification drop into space and send a message

Cargo ship 23 requesting permission to Dock

Ashe started to go pale again and almost fainted
"Voices! Too many voices! Billions of Bioroids as one!" She looked weak "I can't hold on"
The Doctor managed to sedate her again but this time it was no use. Their Pathfinder was becoming the focal point of the SASM as they attempted to prevent it's capture. The technology was too valuable to lose.

"Lads!" Cavourna shouted "I know this isn't the great time to say this. But the fates of Alversia and Xiscapia depend on this one ship. We need to hold it, now for people and planet!"

His Marines gave a roar "For People and Planet! To the end!"

Halls

A small mountain of Bioroids was forming in the cramped hallway but even so, they still continued to advance, targeting the turrets with their own weapons and being thrown back by the explosions other traps. However, none of this stopped them. More and more were converging on the hallway as the reactivated Bioroids were continiously directed to the bridge.

Bridge...
Kartosh grimaced. "It sounds like there's even more of them out there. This is going to be close..."
Halls...
The hall was filling with smoke and sparks as small hills of destroyed Biodroids formed, destroyed from the turrets and mines. Now the suicide drones came in, moving too quickly for even droid-enchanced brains to target, and force fields hissed to life, at knee, torso, and head level. To get past them the Biodroids would have to shoot them until the energy gave out. Which, from the amount of Biodroids forming, wouldn't be a problem. What was needed, Sasha realized, was a large explosive. If she could collapse the hall onto the one below, the bridge would become inaccessable...but it would trap those inside. She didn't have any high-yeild explosives on her anyway. She had to be sure to, once the Biodroids actually reached the door, to be behind them when they got there. Not a small number of Biodroids would die today from blaster bolts that melted their torsos or fried their brains from the back in.

Bridge

Cavourna nodded sombrely
"It seems this is going to be the end of us all then. Quite interesting isn't it?I read about these people in History books at the Academy. I never thought I would face them in my lifetime"

Ashe gave a small grimace then, she looked confused

"The server is ordering the Pathfinders to withdraw. Something has caught their attention and whatever it is, it can't be good"

Cavourna looked around, equally as confused, "What about those outside?"

"They're starting to withdraw as well"

"All of them?"

"No. Most of them are getting gutted by our Xiscapian friends traps, but a few are starting to withdraw. Some kind of priority signal"

"That'll do me. How long until the rest of the fleet arrives?" He asked Kartosh

Hall

Outside, the surviving Bioroids turned and started to head back down the corridor where they had came from. However, many were being cut down as they withdrew. There was no emotion as they fled, simply that the Server had given new orders and they had to be obeyed.

"Sir, we've got an Isan Cargo ship requesting dock."
"An Isan, eh? Haven't seen one of those for a while. Didn't they all go off to fight some war some place?"

"It seems this is going to be the end of us all then. Quite interesting isn't it?I read about these people in History books at the Academy. I never thought I would face them in my lifetime"

Ashe gave a small grimace then, she looked confused

"The server is ordering the Pathfinders to withdraw. Something has caught their attention and whatever it is, it can't be good"

Cavourna looked around, equally as confused, "What about those outside?"

"They're starting to withdraw as well"

"All of them?"

"No. Most of them are getting gutted by our Xiscapian friends traps, but a few are starting to withdraw. Some kind of priority signal"

"That'll do me. How long until the rest of the fleet arrives?" He asked Kartosh

Hall

Outside, the surviving Bioroids turned and started to head back down the corridor where they had came from. However, many were being cut down as they withdrew. There was no emotion as they fled, simply that the Server had given new orders and they had to be obeyed.
Bridge...
Kartosh glanced at his chrono. "Fourty-five minutes," he was confused. "Why are they withdrawing? They have us in their sights. We're dead meat." Skyler nodded. She didn't like to admit it, but chances were that she and Kartosh and all the others probably would have been killed.
Halls...
Sasha was teriffied. The Biodroids were turning around and coming right at her! She croutched in the shadows, sweating, waiting, ready...
...And they passed her by.
Sasha let out the breath she didn't realize she had been holding. If they were starting to retreat, cut their losses and run, good. Maybe the traps had proved too much for them. Now the only thing was to make sure the Star Snake wasn't found. But that it itself was unlikely. The Star Snake was mostly outside of the ship, and down a secluded dark hallway. It wouldn't be found. Sasha watched silently as more and more Biodroids passed her, cheering silently. Yes.
Starport...
There was no one waiting for the Isan ship as it docked. Only a couple of passing refueling crew and a pilot called on-duty.

Ashe gave a loud grim and opened her mouth to speak. But as she did so, she froze, choking and gasping for air. Her eyes glazed over in a dull grey colour and a harsh robotic voice sounded from her mouth

"PRIORITY SIGNAL CODE SILVER: FLEET ASSEMBLING

ANALYSIS: ALVERSIAN CHANCE OF VICTORY PROBABLE

ION WEAPONS DETECTED. ALL PATHFINDERS TO SECTOR 200164

COMMAND CONFIRMED. COMMAND IMPLEMENTED"

Cavourna looked at her as though he were looking at a ghost. Suddenly, Ashe was back with them looking frightened,

"The Alversian Navy is assembling a grand fleet to destroy the SASM once and for all. But the SASM know of it! They are gathering to destroy Alversia's fleet once and for all! We have to stop them!"

Cavourna turned in panic to Kartosh:
"Is there a way to tell the fleet to hurry up and get here! This ship could save our peoples!"

The message that Ashe had recieved, Sasha would also have recieved. It would echo in the minds of all Bioroids, be they on the surface or aboard a Pathfinder, they would do as ordered and gather where they were ordered.

Kartosh didn't even waste time nodding. He flipped open his long range comm with the fleet. "Step on it! The Biodroids have retreated, but a reliable source says there's going to be an SASM attack within days to wipe out the Alversians once and for all! No, I'll pay for the damages goddamnit! Yes, I know how much good engines cost these days! Just get the fuck over here!" He closed the comm. "They're coming. They say the increased speed to ludicrous, and it might cost them some engines, but the timetable has just been cut in half. They'll be here in fifteen minutes." The bridge door opened and every person in the room spun to aim their weapons. But it was only Sasha, looking inside meekly. "Sasha!" Kartosh shouted, "get back to the Star Snake! The fleets going to be here soon, and if they drag this ship away while the Star Snake is hanging out of it the Snake will be ripped apart! Go warm her up, get her ready to go at a moments notice. If Skyler and I aren't there in ten minutes, take off and head for Xiscapia." Sasha understood. She didn't argue. Time was of the essance. She just turn and ran, jumping over and around the traps.

Ashe was staring at one of of the consoles as though it was an old friend. She rubbed her hand over the console as Cavourna turned to one of his Marines

"Get back to the Phoenix! Send an immediately Code Silver message that the SASM know about Omega Fleet and are assembling everything against us. We must act quickly..."

A scream jerked his head around and he saw, to his horror, that Ashe's hand had been wrapped up on the console with long silver wires and she was pinned to the console itself. Her eyes had gone dull grey again and her mouth was moving rapidly.

"ASHE!" Cavourna leapt over to the console and tried to disconnect her. But each time he touched her, he found himself thrown back by an electrical surge.

"Kartosh! Skyler! Help me!" He called to the Xiscapian Mercenaries.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" roared Kartosh. Knowing that she must have some kind of electrical sheild around her, he pulled on his blast proof, flame retardent, water proof eletricity resistant gloves. He grabbed her and, using all his strength, tried to throw her. Skyler got in on it too. "Should I sever the wires?" she cried, knife ready.
OOC: I have to go watch "Bourne Ultimatium" now. Cheers. ;)

Starport...

"well Miss Forturne lets go find someone who in Command and tell them what we got"said the Man

"yes Sir Prize"said Miss Forturne

OOC Nichole going to be what she going to be then these two are the only way of working it out now

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" roared Kartosh. Knowing that she must have some kind of electrical sheild around her, he pulled on his blast proof, flame retardent, water proof eletricity resistant gloves.

OOC: Seen that movie, It's BRILLIANT

Ashe's connection to the console was too fierce and there was no way to physically break the connection between her and the Server. However, a few moments later and the connection was broken. Ashe gasped in exhaustion and collapsed to the ground. The Doctor and Cavourna rushed to her side and helped her up. She was weak and shivering violently. But she looked at Cavourna and that same fire was in her fox-like eyes.

"2.59" She said

"What?" Cavourna looked at her confused

"The shield frequency. 2.59" She said before she passed out.

Cavourna looked at Kartosh and Skyler with a combined look of joy and hope "We have them. By the gods we have them. We need to get this frequency back to APNHQ and XNHQ! If they are to stand a chance, they need this frequency! NOW!!" He was looking at Kartosh and Skyler
"How soon can the Star Snake be at Sector 200164?"

"How soon can the Star Snake be at Sector 200164?"
OOC: I have to agree.
"Within minutes," was Kartosh's answer. "I need to tell the fleet." Once again he opened his comm. "Yes, we have the frequency. Your original orders still apply. Get the Pathfinder, get it out of here. There's little danger to you now." He closed the connection. Skyler laughed out loud. "It's that simple? 2.59?" Kartosh just shook his head. "We need to get back to the Star Snake. The rest of your men can just stay here. They'll be safe at Xiscapia soon enough. Come on!" He and Skyler exited the bridge, Kartosh using his masters control to deactivate all the remaining traps. There was no time to gather them and take them with him.

OOC Nichole going to be what she going to be then these two are the only way of working it out now
OOC: All this jumping around in time is screwing with my mind. I suppose Nichole may meet them, but they have to make their presence known to those with authority. As far as we know now, your lot are just two freighter pilots or something. You didn't arrive on a military ship, and no one annonced your arrival, so they are assumed civilians and that they can take care of whatever business they're on.

OOC: I have to agree.

Cavourna nodded and he helped Ashe to her feet as they rushed to the Star Snake
"I don't know about you" He said as he ran "This is the battle of our lifetime and I don't intend to miss it by sitting out here"

The signal would be rushing to APNHQ and Task Force Omega, once they had the Frequency and the Ion cannon were tuned to their shields, the battle would really even out.

OOC not the only one, and they are they Lady Lucks mother and father Spirit's of MisForturne and Bad luck now with out powers lose when Ri-an destoryed, but it dont mean they don't know their son inlaw

Cavourna nodded and he helped Ashe to her feet as they rushed to the Star Snake
"I don't know about you" He said as he ran "This is the battle of our lifetime and I don't intend to miss it by sitting out here"

The signal would be rushing to APNHQ and Task Force Omega, once they had the Frequency and the Ion cannon were tuned to their shields, the battle would really even out.
"You know, I actually would rather miss it, but I have the feeling that that's not an option," said Kartosh. "And still, we can help. Not just transporting you lot to whatever Dreadnought you're going to, but I have the feeling that we might be able to do some damage." He unfolded his palm, in which there was a tiny silver dart-looking object. "I swiped it from the bridge, it's a replacement for the rotating shields on the Pathfinder in case they burn out or something. While we're flying, I can get Skyler to download this into our current shields. And with that little "2.59" in our heads, we can configure our weapons to match their shields and blow them to hell. They won't know what hit them." Kartosh grinned wickedly. They didn't pass any Biodroids on their way, and in no time they were at the Star Snake. It was powered up and ready to go, and Sasha was busy tending to Blackwater's wounds. "Oh, I forgot about him." said Kartosh as he accidentally stepped on the Calaverans arm. "I didn't," muttered Skyler, rubbing her arms. They still ached from dragging him though the halls. "He was heavy." Kartosh and Skyler assumed their positions and the Star Snake floated away from the Pathfinder. "Could you look at Sasha for us?" asked Skyler to Ashe as Kartosh piloted the ship away and she downloaded and configured data and specifications. Sasha was still wounded from her treatment at the hands of the Biodroids. The Star Snake jumped in hyperspace just as the collection fleet arrived to pick up the downed Pathfinder. "Hi guys," Kartosh said as they vanished in a flash of blue-white light.

"How far away are we?"

Cavourna turned to Sasha with Ashe in order to tend to Sasha's wounds. Compared to Ashe, she didn't look that badly hurt. But even so, they checked her vital functions as well as neural activity. Ashe was checking her pulse when she suddenly gasped and clutched her head.

"Ashe?" Cavourna turned to her, concerned

~FLEET DETECTED. SOURCE ALVERSIA AND XISCAPIA

~TOTAL NUMBERS: 2000 CREW NUMBERS OVER 6,500,000

~ALL PATHFINDERS SET COURSE TO INTERCEPT

~ORDER CONFIRMED ORDER IMPLEMENTED

Ashe woke up in horror and looked at Cavourna
"They know about the fleet" She said "They're starting to advance on them"

Sasha would have heard the same thing. It was the Server redirecting the entire SASM to the Alversian/Xiscapian fleet

Kartosh grimaced and Sasha gasped. Skyler just took the news with her usual calm. "Every Pathfinder..." Kartosh whispered. Then he shook his head. "If we're to get you two," he indicated Ashe and Cavourna, "to your proper ships in time, and get you," he pointed to Sasha, "to the command ship, we need to pour on the speed." Sasha protested loudly. "What? Why! You are handing me to those who would kill me!" Kartosh started to say something but Skyler interrupted. "Sasha, you're one of the only two people in the galaxy on our side with an SASM connection. You will prove invaluable to the battle, you and Ashe both, reporting SASM movements as they act so the Captains and Admirals can anticipate them." Sasha still looked angry, but it turned to thoughtful. "I bet they would waver my death sentence if I helped them win the battle..." Kartosh nodded. "See? There you go. Positive thinking." He swiviled to face Ashe and Cavourna. "What ship or ships do you need to go to?"
OOC: Your response, then the Snake's enterence into the fleet, and then everything gets moved to the Brother Against Brother thread.

Cavourna nodded in agreement then typed a few command into a console and brought up the schematics of a huge warship.
"This one. The Light of Alversia, it's flying the flag of the Grand Admiral so I suppose that is where we are most needed"

Cavourna leant back and grinned
"Remember how this started? All those weeks ago, we were trying to arrest you for stealing vital technology"

Ashe smiled as she remembered it as well

"It was a rather desolete planet, if I remember" She said.

Ashe smiled as she remembered it as well

"It was a rather desolete planet, if I remember" She said.
Kartosh snorted. "And that other time you tried to arrest us, and that other time and that other time..." Skyler just smiled. "The technology wasn't illegal, although it took a while to make that much clear. Gods, was it only a week ago? It feels like much longer." Kartosh nodded. "Some ice planet somewhere way out there. They had huge battle mechs, as I recall."
There was a beeping from the control panel and the ship appeared in a deserted stretch of space. Directly ahead of them was thousands of warships. Mostly Alversians, but a few Xiscapian here and there could be spotted. Kartosh could almost palpably feel the sights of hundreds, if not thousands, of guns aimed at his little ship. He leaned forward and spoke into the general broadcast comm feed:
This is the APS Star Snake, here for the transport of Captain Alexander Cavourna and First Officer Ashley Reyes to the APS Light of Alversia.
OOC: Remember, now it moves to the Civil War thread.

The pilot looked up from the engine componet he had been fixing. "Huh? Uh..." he stared at them. "You'd be looking for Port Authority. Located up there." he pointed to a silver glass and metal tower that loomed over the spaceport.

Kartosh snorted. "And that other time you tried to arrest us, and that other time and that other time..." Skyler just smiled. "The technology wasn't illegal, although it took a while to make that much clear. Gods, was it only a week ago? It feels like much longer." Kartosh nodded. "Some ice planet somewhere way out there. They had much battle mechs, as I recall."

"True, true" Cavourna nodded sagely "I think you have proved your innocence in that time. Funny how things can change eh?"

Cavourna settled himself again in his chair
"I don't know about you, Mr Kartosh but I think it's time we make history" He said rather curtly, in his captain-like way, then he looked apologetic.

OOC: Previous post edited, as you see.

The pilot looked up from the engine componet he had been fixing. "Huh? Uh..." he stared at them. "You'd be looking for Port Authority. Located up there." he pointed to a silver glass and metal tower that loomed over the spaceport.

"thanks"said Sir Prize then both walk off heading where pointed

Port Authority was responsable for the basic running, mantience, and protection of the starport. They were the ones who screened all incoming and outgoing ships and kept the port in shape. Customs, on Xiscapian worlds, was a part of Port Authority. As it was two Port Authority official, guards in their gray uniforms, casually protected the enterence to the tower where ships were given directions from. Their weapons were a blaster pistol each and stun batons. Ports are loud and often smelly but generally crime-free, as Port officials kept a vigilant eye on their premises.

The guard straightened up. "What is the nature of your cargo and vessal?"

The Breeder changed course and headed for another part of space, where they were needed against the SASM....the great exterminators.
