OOC: Mainly i put the Fantasy tag in the title because this RP will have a incident where a psychic is involved. But the thread idea is based on the broader term of "In space all the possibilities are endless," simply put "What if this happened" The thread itself is only an idea for an intro and not a god mod... just saying it now i guess.

oh and for this to work properly depending on how many RP, it will be 2 or 3 characters per rper.



In the cold vastness of space a video mayday broadcast shot across the stars in hope of reaching a willing pair of ears.

------
-General Mayday Broadcast
-Encryption: None
-Frequencies: All
-Location: Surface of planet Talasona

-Message:


The video feed started the audio cutting out in a few times from interstellar static. The video showed a young man with dirty blond hair sitting in pilots chair. His eyes a look of panic “Mayday mayd------- under heavy attack. I rep—t troops under –eavy attack,”

Suddenly the camera shook and a loud thump could be heard just behind the camera. The pilots eyes turned to total terror and he fumbled for his pistol he pointed at whatever was behind the camera, he hesitated for a second before putting the gun under his chin and pulled the trigger, the top of his head exploded spraying gore everywhere before he went limp. Whatever scared him enough to commit suicide never came into the cameras view instead it just left the body alone.

The video kept playing but in the background radio transmissions were coming threw a pair of unseen speakers. The transmission, a garbled mess of voices, and gunfire.


“Contact left!”
“Where the hell do they keep coming from!”
-Gunfire-
-Gunfire-
“Behind!”
“Frag out!”
-Gunfire-
“I’m out! Im.. Get it off! Oh my god!”
“They got Falk, Falks down,”
“He’s fragged keep moving we have to get to the shuttle!”

The video cut out

Freespace Listening Post

"Commander, we've got another distress call coming from a Planet idenifying itself as Talesona...only a few sectors out. Looks...oh shit, that guy just shot himself!"

Commander Danforth watched the video with a slight revulsion. Stifling a cough, he shook his head.

"Looks bad. Send the Infiltrator out to see what's happening."

_________________________________________________________________

A few hours later, the Serpantian Class Gunship Infiltrator shot out of WSubspace above Talesona. On the Bridge, Captain Simroth looked at the viewscreen, and watched the planet turn slowly.

"Tactical, prepare a Search and Rescue team for deployment on my command, and send this message out on all frequencies."

Tapping a button on the chair's armrest, Simroth cleared his throat.

To all vessels in the area, and anyone on Talesona,

This is the Outer Heaven Gunship Infiltrator. We detected a distress call
coming from the planet. Unless a satisfactory explaination can be given,
we will have no choice but to deploy a Search and Rescue team.

We await your reply. Infiltrator out.

OOC: I know that it's only a two to three character RP, so I'm more than willing to have most of the team killed off etc.

The surface of Talasona, inhospitable desert, barren of any life, only endless dunes of course yellow sand.

Surface to Infiltrator
This is Lt. Col Samuel Calvert of the Ashari Empirial army we are currently in a tactical withdraw from the Talasona Scientific habitat. We cannot contact our pilot on our comms. We are in some real fruity sh--t down here. We request immediate evac. once we get top side if our pilot cannot be contacted. ETA topside 30 minutes


The signal was being transmitted from near the northpole. The only surface evidence of civilization was the shuttle sitting on a small air strip, about half a mile north, a large set of concrete encased doors led into the side of a dune.

OOC: Hmmm... let us take the h out of your name and we get Asari, the race from Mass Effect. Now let us look at the Reapers from Mass Effect which would be a good sign of what will happen later on and also that the beggining of your rp is errily like that of Mass Effect. Yet, you do seem to have a good bit of rping potential so welcome to FT NS. One thing though, is this rp based on Mass Effect?
