OOC: At least post!

OCC: lol that was yesterday


Edward raised his assault rifle " Yes, I dont know what it could be, maybe one of the "patients" escaped from there rooms." he said, he was sweating he had never fired a assault rifle before.

Vix sat up and leveled her rifle at the door, calling out. "Hello? Is that you, Stacy? Sio? A-"
the door exploded inward and a Calaverian scientist tore though the wreckage, head mangled into Imitator combat form, fingers shaped into claws. He screeched terribly and lunged forward, directly at Vix. Vix fired and the bullets ripped though the scientist, sending him tumbling back, but there was more behind him.
Halls...
Sio jumped into the elevator and hammered on the buttons, the doors closing just as Stacy cleared them, and the elevator ascended upwards at the same slow pace. "C'mon, c'mon..." Sio hissed.

Stacy sighed as the left closed, checking her gun for the twelfth time since she had entered the lift,
"Come on, come on" She said softly under her breath.

Edward stood next to Vix his rifle aimed at the door to the medical bay " I think we can hold them...for awhile.." beads of sweat were starting to form down his forehead.

"You'd better be right, otherwise we're dead!" growled Vix as she continued to unleash streams of bullets into the invading Imitators. They fell just inside the door, and those behind either had to jump or scramble across the fallen to get at Vix and Edward. They could keep it up forever...or until they ran out of ammunition, which would probably be sooner.
Elevator...
The elevator dinged to a halt and Sio sprang out, racing down the hall, rifle pointed ahead, towards the medical bay.

Stacy was just behind him, her own weapon raised and ready. She was nervous but at the same time fiercely determined to protect Vix.

Edward kept firing into the imitators, till the sound stopped, the end of his assault rifle poured smoke...a sign of death.

Click. Click click. Clika clika clika-
"Oh damn."
Vix looked around desperatly for an extra magazine of ammunition but there was none to be found. Even if there had been one across the room, Vix could do nothing to get to it, as she still could not stand. And now an Imitator stormed the doorway, leaping gracefully over his fallen comrades, approaching Vix. She didn't have so much as a knife, and raised the assault rifle into a defensive position to use it to club the Imitator...
...when his head exploded. Not into combat mode, but in a spray of blood and brains and bone. Vix threw herself out of the way as the bloody decapitated corpse and flying bits of body smashed into the table she had been on, knocking it to the deck with a loud clang.

There was more fire and screetching from outside, and Sio stepped inside, shortly followed by Stacy. "You two alright?" he demanded.

Stacy spared a lone glance to see that Vix was alright then wheeled around again to fire a short burst at an Imitator that had jumped across the doorway and back into the darkness. Then silence, Stacy was more nervous about the silence than she was about the screaming. It meant something was badly wrong.

Edward was also about to run out, he had half a clip left in the magazine. He turend to Vix, seeing she was alright he set the smoking rifle down and breathed hard. " We have to get out of here, what about the probe fighters, did you check them out?"

Sio nodded at Edward's question. "We checked one out, and it seems to be alright. We need to get down to the hanger, or we'll risk becoming cut off by more of those things. I've gotten supplies, we need to get moving. Can you walk?" he asked Vix, looking down at her as Stacy covered the enterance. Vix shook her head from her position on the floor. "I don't think I can even stand. My leg's too weak."

Sio looked grim. "Alright, you, doctor, fetch a stretcher. We'll carry you down, Vix." He handed her his assault rifle and several full clips. "Stacy, Vix will shoot as we carry her, but you'll be our main guard, since Edward and I can't shoot while we're holding the stretcher. All we have to do is make it to the hanger. Can you do that?" He regarded her seriously as Edward carefully picked Vix up, supporting her on her good leg, and eased the injured kitsune onto the stretcher.

Edward had sweat running down his face and onto his white lab coat. He lifted Vix, she was pretty light for a Kitsune. Edward slung the assault rifle over his shoulder and grabbed the other end of the stretcher, he awaited the signal to move. He looked up.

" Mother, beam us to the hangar room." Mother was now aware of him working with the Xscapians.

" Im sorry Edward, I can't do that." Edward yelled back " Why the hell not!"

" Goodbye Edward ".

Stacy looked frightened for a moment before the expression of fear was replaced by one of determination and confidence,
"Give me your ammo" She said to Edward, then turned to Sio, "And you give your ammo to Vix. If you can't carry your rifles then there's no point in leaving it behind" She loaded her own weapon and she scanned the doorway for signs of enemy.

Edward was now defensless, he was a taxi for Vix, and would continue to be until they made it to the fighter. " Lets go, they could be coming any minute."

Sio nodded as he turned over the rest of his clips to Vix. "Agreed, let's move out." They started out the door. Sio was at the front, but he walked hunched over so Vix could see ahead and blast any incoming hostiles. Stacy took the rear, to guard against Imitators that tried to outflank them. For the moment all was quiet, and their only company was the pile of dead Imitators at the door.

Moving down the hall at a good clip, they thought they heard a far-off screetch...

Stacy remained behind the group, walking backwards to ensure that she could not be jumped while trusting the group with her own back. She heard the screech and automatically brought the rifle to her shoulder, scanning her area behind her for signs of the enemy.

Alas, no foe appeared, and they soon reached the elevator. The box was only barely wide enough to accommodate the stretcher, and they had just moved Vix inside when there was another scream down the hall and they could see a horde of Imitators running from the medical bay towards them. None had weapons, and all elements of imitation of sentient life seemed to have disappeared, leaving only animal urges. Sio cursed as he jabbed at the button to make the elevator descend. About thirty of them were fast approaching, and Vix stretched her arm out and the assault rifle spat lead. Some in front fell to be trampled by their fellows, but there was more.
Many, many more.

Stacy instantly dropped to one knee, aiming carefully and firing short burst after burst, trying to sweep along at head level to take down as many as possible. She wasn't fussy at what part she hit, as long as she hit some of the horde.

Then she saw a cannister lying just in front of the horde. It was from the Calaveran Medical Bay, some of the gas they used for their own and so starved their 'zoo'. She turned and fired a burst at it, watching as several small streams of gas filled the room, decompressed and unmixed and causing a rather flammible combination.

It would not be percisely accurate to say the canister exploded. Rather it sprayed flaming gas over the Imitators, setting them alight and driving those behind them back, screaming and crying in pain. Nearly half the Imitators were dead, but the gas was already gone, and though the smoke they came again, much closer. Stacy and Vix fired, and more fell, but there was too many of them. The doors began to close, and Stacy stepped back and fired a last burst as she did so, felling a Imitator a mere yard away. The doors shut and several bodies smashed against it as the box began to lower. Now there was only silence except for the heavy breathing of the two humans and two kitsune and the sound of weapons being loaded from Stacy and Vix.

Edward handed Stacy and Vix each another magazine " I thought i should carry extra inside my coat" he wiped the sweat from his forehead " Im sure you guys have gods, I would be praying to them if I were you."

Stacy took the magazine and, having checked it was full, slid it into her rifle. She gave a nod,
"I have a God thank you" She growled, "And I have been preying to him since I was captured by your mob"

Edward knew Calaverians were Athiest and thought religion was a joke. " Well...."he said after he heard the pounding " Where is your god?"

Vix said nothing, merely reloaded her rifle on the floor. Sio leaned against the wall, arms folded, looking down at her. Neither Xiscapian seemed much for talking, and by the sweat evident on their skin it was obvious they were both afraid and tired. It occurred to Sio, as his head lolled, that he had not slept for some time. Simultaneously Vix's stomach growled loudly, and she noticed she had not eaten nor drank in over a day. Her mouth felt like cotton, though, and she just licked her lips as the elevator hummed.

"I'm alive aren't I?" Stacy retorted as she clicked the magazine into position and cocked the weapon, "I think that's presence enough." She looked at Sio and let her eyes droop slightly before snapping them open again,
"How far are we from the hangar?" She asked Sio, "When we reach the bottom, how far do we have to move?"

Vix said nothing, merely reloaded her rifle on the floor. Sio leaned against the wall, arms folded, looking down at her.

Her mouth felt like cotton, though, and she just licked her lips as the elevator hummed.

Edward said " 2 minutes before we reach the hangar, then we make a dash for the fighter."

"When we reach the bottom, how far do we have to move?"
Sio covered his mouth as he yawned. "Not far, only a few yards before we enter the hanger. From there we only need about half a minute to escape out of the hanger."
Vix sighed and put her head against Stacy's leg, leaning on her for support. Less than half a minute, now. The ride on the elevator never seemed to damned long...

The elavator door opened and the damaged hangar was in view, he eyed until he saw the probe fighter, Edward picked up Vix and violently whispered " GO GO!!!"

Quick as a laser bolt, Sio hefted the other side of the stretcher and Vix proped up the rifle on her stomach, squinting. They moved forward quickly, past the bodies and rubble that littered the deck, moving towards the Probe fighter, and escape. Sio and Edward manuvered Vix inside, and Stacy was the last in, the door shutting behind her. Sio moved Vix slightly back into the cargo area along with their supplies while Stacy busied herself with launching the fighter.

Sio moved Vix slightly back into the cargo area along with their supplies while Stacy busied herself with launching the fighter.

Edward got into the seat next to the pilot, he was running his hands over the controls, when the door closed he attached his neural link into the fighter, a femal voice sounded " Shields 100%" a aqua looking static appeard and then dissappeard. Edward began to read the scans from the fighter, but they were useless inside the Observer, he turned to Stacy " take off."

Stacy was able to reach the hangar with minimal problems and she slid into the pilot's chair. She typed a few commands into the probe controls and watched it lift off. She was panting heavily. Not from the run, but she had little energy left and it was draining quickly from the physical exercise.

"Lift off" She reported.

The anti-gravity engines produced no heat as it seemed like they flew out of the hangar by gods hand. They made there way into Orbit, Edward began to relax, " That was to close..." he managed to say.

"Great Qonn..." muttered Sio, collapsing into the seat behind Edward. The kitsune's head was bent over the back of the chair, staring at the ceiling, sitting uncomfortably sideways due to the lack of a hole in the bottom of the chair for a tail. He panted like a dog, entirely relaxed and listless in the seat.

Vix was sitting up, looking at the others, probably the most energetic despite her wounds which were now quickly healing. She put the rifle on safety and laid it aside, half pulling half dragging herself over to the deck where the others were, where Sio helped her into his seat and slid down against the bulkhead behind him. "Where are we?" she asked the room in general, staring out at the stars. "I don't recognize many of these constellations..."

OCC: Do you want to arrive at celestis?

OOC: Sure. It would tie everything in. But we'd better wait for Alversia.

OCC: okay

Edward got out the chair and sat next to Vix " How are you feeling?" he said checking on the knee.

Stacy fought to keep her eyes open as she manouvered through the stars. She did not recognise any of them either but she was too tired to care. All she was focusd on was keeping the fighter on a straight course, hoping for some sign of a friendly ship,
"Does anyone else know how to pilot this?" She asked, yawning, "I really need to rest. Does it have an auto-pilot or anything?"

Edward raised his hand " I can pilot it." he motioned towards the seat when the holoscreen came up and the female voice sounded off again " Probe fighter: 1513: Destination re-routed to: Celestis. Edward looked at the screen " Goverment must have picked us up, the fighter will fly by itself now.

Sio's head snapped up. "What? We can't go there! Hurry, you have to divert the course! If we are captured we'll be killed for sure!" Vix looked at Stacy. "The autopilot will probably have a lock-down. I'm not sure if I'll be able to crack it."

It took Stacy's fatigued brain a few moments to grasp what was happening then she realised it,
"No!" She shouted and leapt forward, trying to tap the controls. She shook her head,
"I think we're stuck" She sighed, defeated, "We're going to Celestis. Like it or not"

"Damn it!" Sio slammed his fist against the bulkhead in rage. "All that work, surviving these people and those things and now we're going to them anyway? How is that fair? What the fuck!" He rounded on Edward. "You! This is all your fault! You knew we were going to Celestis!"

Vix just shook her head. Maybe she would be healed by the time they got there. Not that it mattered. Once they were there she suspected they would never leave.

Vix just shook her head. Maybe she would be healed by the time they got there. Not that it mattered. Once they were there she suspected they would never leave.

Edward puit his hands up " Now calm down, I can make it easier for us, you guys will become my pets, I can buy you personally, or I can hold you in the zoo, I could get you off the planet in the future."

"If you think I'm going to be anyone's pet you've got another thing coming!" Sio spat. Vix shrugged from the floor. "It's probably our best chance of surviving," she said quietly, "as long as nobody looks too close. How are you going to explain the loss of the Observer to them?" she asked Edward. Sio caught Stacy's eye, looking for some sign of sharing his feelings.

Stacy looked defeated more than anything. Not afraid, not outraged, just defeated. Like a Snooker player who had just lost a match. She had been defeated professionally
"I think," She said carefully, "We need to lie low and if that means being part of a 'Zoo' for a week or so then so be it. If the Alversians know I am alive, they will come for me" She sounded confident

Edward thought for a moment " Well, I will tell them we were hit by Xscapian and Alversian fire and we crashed into the planet below, it was an ambush, I escaped with you as prisoners of a boarding action."

Sio looked like a trapped animal, cornered, eyes darting around at the other three inside the craft. Finally he lowered his head in submission. "Fine. But if anything," he glared at Edward, "goes wrong, I am holding you responsible. Got it?"
Vix spoke up. "How long until we reach Celestis?"

Edward spun in the white chair and glared at the hologram then turned " We got about five hours..."

"Five hours," Stacy whistled, "Long time for captivity. Might as well get to know each other," She looked at Edward,
"How did you get involved with the Butchery of races then Doc?" She asked politely

"Five hours," Stacy whistled, "Long time for captivity. Might as well get to know each other," She looked at Edward,
"How did you get involved with the Butchery of races then Doc?" She asked politely

Edward sat on the floor as the stars passed " Well, in our race the Goverment controls everything, your life, news, everything that can be possibly controlled IS." he took a breathe " I was basically forced, but I didnt have a problem with it, it was for the greater good of Calaverians."

The black haired girl chuckled and pushed her long hair out of her face, leaving only the fringe,
"Tell me Doc," She said, pulled her top down slightly to cover up the small strip of skin showing, "How cutting me up have helped you? I mean personally now, not the Calaveran Race"

"Tell me Doc," She said, pulled her top down slightly to cover up the small strip of skin showing, "How cutting me up have helped you? I mean personally now, not the Calaveran Race"

Edward responded " First of all, we would know how you would tick, maybe develop weapons to use against you. Second we kill an enemy of our people, thirdly it sends a nasty message, there are other reason but these are the strongest ones."

"Well then," Stacy was stroking her chin, "If you just talked and didn't kill then we could be friends and there would be no need for weapons, same with the second and same with the third. Can you not see it is your way of life that has caught you in a never ending circle?" She asked desperately?

Edward shook his head " Well, take it up with the goverment when we get to Celestis, im sure they will listen." He shrugged.

"No," Stacy shook her young head viciously, "They won't because we have tried and you will not listen. You WANT war, that's what. You seem to enjoy battle."

"No," Stacy shook her young head viciously, "They won't because we have tried and you will not listen. You WANT war, that's what. You seem to enjoy battle."

Edward shook his head again " The goverment has never even declared war against Xscapia or Alversia, it dosn't believe this war is between sentinents, its us vs the "animals"."

"But everyone is an animal!" She blurted out desperately, "You want war with all Animals and that includes us!"

Edward stayed calm " What do you hope to accomplish yelling at me?"

"Nothing, just venting off some steam," Stacy replied calmly as she brushed the front of her top, "So," She looked back at Edward and gave a cute smile, "What price would a young female Animal such as me fetch on Celestis?" She asked as she fluttered her eyelids,
"Expensive or a bargin?"

Edward thought " Well since we have had dreadfully little Alversian and Xscapians, you two are up there in most expensive pets of the year, that would be expensive for all of you."

"So how do you intend to buy us?" growled Sio. "If we cost so much, then where will you get the money? Or are we your by default, because you found us?"

Vix looked at Edward with a mix of disgust and pity. "What do you use those you capture for, outside of zoos?"

"So how do you intend to buy us?" growled Sio. "If we cost so much, then where will you get the money? Or are we your by default, because you found us?"

Vix looked at Edward with a mix of disgust and pity. "What do you use those you capture for, outside of zoos?"

Edward smiled " Oh your mine by default" he turned to Vix " Pet's and cross-speacias unions."

"We're yours?" Stacy was surprised, "What? Slaves or Pets and what do you do to us?" Her voice had a few nerves in it now.

"We're yours?" Stacy was surprised, "What? Slaves or Pets and what do you do to us?" Her voice had a few nerves in it now.

Edward nodded slightly " Pets are go to de-intelligence Centers where there are some brain operations to bring them down to a controlable scale, and the Cross-speacies unions are where some Calaverians become partners with them, resulting in cross-breeds at times, as for slavery no, we dont believe in cheap labor, its impossible for animal's to work, they become "house-wifes/husbands" in Unions."

"Cross-species unions?" Sio's voice dripped with menace. "Let me tell you something. If we ever found out this was occuring, we'd invade and shut down your sick operations so fast you'd get whiplash. By Qonn I swear if you try any of that shit with us I'll kill you before they dissect me."

Vix looked alarmed herself, and licked her lips, swallowing.

"Unions?" Stacy's eyes flashed with fear, "Is that what you're going to do to us?" She asked timidly

Edward nodded " The only thing I can do without brain surgery is claim you all as my "partners", its the only way, unless you want to be de-brained and walk around on all fours like others, with a lease around your head, wagging your tail...trust me ive seen some Xscapians that walk on all fours like dogs, licking there lips at treats."

Bump!!!!!!

"Lies!" cried Sio, seizing Edward by his collar and bodily lifting the Calaveran off his chair. "You have never captured any of us before! We would never lower ourselves to that! We would die first!" He shook Edward violently. "If that is the only way then we will do it, but we will never submit to you!"

Vix reached out and grabbed Sio's legs, as it was evident he was hurting Edward, hands around his throat, shaking the human wildly.

"Partners?" Stacy looked revolted at the thought but at the same time got up and wedged herself between Sio and Edward, forcing them apart with surprising strength,
"If this is the only way to escape then it has to be the only way to escape," She reaffirmed, "And I want proof that we won't be harmed and we will have a chance to escape"

Edward fired back after catching his breath " Your in a shit hole, I dont need any prooff, your going to Celestis whether you like it or not, so i suggest you follow me seeing as im the closest thing you will have to a freind there."

bump

"We'll follow you, but you'd better draw up plans to get us out, or else we'll escape by ourselves. And, like I said, even if I don't get out alive, I'll make sure I hunt you down before the GOU catch up with me." Sio snarled.
Vix leaned back again now that Sio and Edward were seperated. "If this is the way it has to be, this is the way we will do it." She said quietly.
OOC: Fast-Forward 5 hours?

OCC: sure

The huge green world could now be seen as it got bigger and bigger through the glass. Edward watched his homeworld come into view, huge white spots could be seen where city's were. There were around ten Observers in orbit and swarms of fighters flying in almost unorganized fashion. Edward turned to Sio " You are going to see things here that you would not see on any other world, and for your own sake i hope you behave yourself."

"If your Observer was any example, Celestis is going to be like nothing I've ever seen," said Sio. He had sat in the chair and ate some of the rations from their supplies, conserving, not that it mattered anymore. Not doubt their weapons and supplies would be confiscated when they landed. Vix was sleeping peacefully in the cargo hold, lying on her side with Stacy next to her. Both had felt tired and slept most of the trip, which Sio had felt like doing. But he didn't trust Edward not to try something on the trip, and even though they were essentially going to be his slaves, he could do anything...

The world was in plane view as they descended into the atmosphere, then with a flash of light the fighter was beamed to the surface, on a white landing pad. All the civilians wore white suits and the city was filled with skyscrapers while holograms from goverment propaganda played, they mentioned no wars. Thousands upon thousands of Calaverians walked and went into stores. There were many alien de-intelligent made pets. Edward turned to Sio " Keep quiet, put these collars on" They were temporary I.D's for animals.

OOC: They're all Asian, wear white and hold microphones? ;)
IC:
"What the hell..." Sio trailed off. A nearby megaphone blared:
"THE PEOPLE OF CALAVERAS ARE HAPPY PEOPLE. THEY THANK THE GOVERNMENT FOR THEIR PROGRESSIVE AND FULFILLED LIVES. SUPPORT OUR GALACTIC OBSERVATION UNITS BY MAKING MONTHLY DONATIONS TO ENSURE THE CONTINUED SAFTY OF THE PEOPLE OF CALAVERAS. GLORY TO THE PEOPLE. GLORY TO THE LEADER. GLORY TO THE STATE."
Consumer goods were flashed on screens and in windows, and citizens went about with optimistic looks on their faces. The city was bustling, loud and colorful, but dead. The sprawling motropolis held, to Sio, no real people, just tools of the state and pawns of the ruler.
OOC: You have a TG, NC.

Two men opend the door to the probe fighter and Edward stood in front of them an explained the situation and that the Xscapians and Alversians were his Partners. The two men looked inside and saw the women and man and laughed as they walked away, on of them saying " Well this Edward must have a lot of time on his hands, that's a lot of ass for one man..." Edward motioned for them to exit out of the fighter and stay close " You must stay by my side at ALL times."

OCC: LOL

OCC2: replye to TG

OCC:replyed.

"Dosen't mean I have to like it," growled Sio, pulling at his ill-fitting collar. Vix and Stacy had only just woken up and were blurrily touching their own collars and Sio quietly and quickly explained to them the past events. Outside no one seemed to take any notice of the two kitsune and Alversian with the Calaveran inside the Probe fighter. As if this sort of thing happened every day.
OOC: And what is the name of your Chancellor again?

OOC: When I sent the TG, I meant for you to delete the part of the post about there being slave Xiscapians...
OOC2: And what is the name of your Chancellor again?

OCC: Will do

OCC2: Sandra Milic(female dictator)

Edward exited them out, and instead of hate, the Xscapians and Alversians received amazement. Many were showing respect for Edward, he had a rare prize, the first Xscapians and Alversians. One women smiled at Sio " Owww hes so cute, a purebreed?" Edward didn't answer questions, he quickly began to lead them to his apartment, some people petted there heads and offered them treats, they were now considered animals.

Stacy just sighed and lowered her head in embarresment. She hated wearing a collar like a common pet and endless people seemed to be offering her treats and toys like a dog. She hated it, the collar wrapped around her slender throat was uncomfortable and endless men kept poking at her, pinching at her and she could see the longing in their eyes. She conciously tried to pull her thin top down slightly to try and cover her stomach a little more. She tried to stay close to Vix for as long as possible

Sio felt like telling them where they could shove their treats, and how happily he would do so for them, but instead he only lowered his head and concentrated on the ground. The urge to rise and beat the crap out of those around him was strong, but he just kept walking.

Vix was terrified by the touching, the constant probing fingers and hands from the people, disgusting smelling food shoved in her face and the murmuring, condescending words. She kept her tail close, wrapped around her knees, and her ears were flat, seeming to try to make herself smaller. She hugged close to Stacy even as the apprentice stayed close to her, with Sio in front.

The viewing screens displayed a face, female, but none looked directly at it. Words from the loudspeakers blared onward:
"WE THANK COMRADE CHANECELLOR MILIC FOR OUR HAPPY LIVES. ALL LOYALTY AND GLORY TO COMRADE MILIC. THE PEOPLE THANK THE GOVERNMENT FOR THEIR PROGRESSIVE AND FULFILLED LIVES. CALAVERANS ARE THE SUPERIOR MASTER RACE. ALL OTHERS ARE ANIMALS FOR OUR ENJOYMENT. GLORY TO THE PEOPLE. GLORY TO THE LEADER. GLORY TO THE STATE."

Stacy looked up at one of the screens and saw the women. The statements she was making would have been banned on Alversian for spreading malicious content and spreading propaganda as well as a breach of civil liberties by telling people to thank this Chancellor.

She shook her head slightly, feeling the collar rub against her soft flesh. She felt another hand lash out and snatch at her ass and she jumped forward slightly so she was pressed closer to Vix,
"I'm scared" She moaned in a pitiful voice, her cheek near to Vix's.

The continued shouting from the megaphones, flashing of advertisements and propaganda on the screens and the endless tide of smiling consumers went on around them. How could people live like this? Did they even know anything beyond their one planet, this one globe that was theirs?

Sio had never actually been to Alversia, but he had heard stories, and Celestis seemed to be reverse-engineered from it. Alversia was said to be a utopia, where no one starved, everyone was free to express themselves, there was virtually no crime and no poverty. Everyone had jobs. Everyone was happy.

On Celestis, everyone was happy in a fake, plastered way. Lies screamed over and over into your ears until they were part of the core of your being, until the messages were lodged into your brain, engraved in stone. They kept "pets", sexual slaves and zoo captives to provide entertainment for the masses as they bought state products and sold "animals", unknowing and uncaring of the atrocities committed at the hands of their military. The city was clean, but in a way suggesting anyone littering would be shot on sight.

In the midst of the thousands of white clothed, smiling humans Sio longed to shout, to beat someone down, to cause an uproar and disrupt their perfect lives. But if he did it, he knew it would be the same as putting a gun to his head and pulling the trigger.

Vix's tail lashed and drew around her waist as someone made a grab for it, and she pressed close to Stacy, physically touching, the two of them alone in the middle of the mob. They stood out, not just because they were physically different, but they contrasted to those around them in every way. The Calaverans were all sculpted to perfection, white skin with black or blond hair and light colored eyes, clean and unassuming. They moved confidently, as if they knew their exact place in life and intended to get there.

The kitsune and Alversian were dirty, wearing the same clothes they had when they were captured, covered in dried sweat and tears and spit and other fluids, hair and fur greasy from going so long without a washing. Sio and Stacy were darker colored then anyone else, and attracted attention for it. Vix was as pale as the Calaverans, but her red hair made her a target. All three prisoners walked with a hunted weariness, slightly hunched with the collars, orange and yellow and blue-green eyes downcast.

Now Vix was practically hanging onto Stacy, clutching her and limping, leg stiff from her wound with dried blood around the ripped pant leg and stained bandages. More hands reached out, stroking her faces, poking her side and brushing over her tail and rear, grasping and fondling. She just gave a slight whimper and bowed her head entirely.

The continued shouting from the megaphones, flashing of advertisements and propaganda on the screens and the endless tide of smiling consumers went on around them. How could people live like this? Did they even know anything beyond their one planet, this one globe that was theirs?

Sio had never actually been to Alversia, but he had heard stories, and Celestis seemed to be reverse-engineered from it. Alversia was said to be a utopia, where no one starved, everyone was free to express themselves, there was virtually no crime and no poverty. Everyone had jobs. Everyone was happy.

Edward was saddend at what his people were doing to these poor sentinents, it seemd the goverment was lieing all the time and he had just found out. They walked infront of a tall white sky scraper, Edward walked to the front and put his eye inside a machine to be scanned, while this was happening a man was walking down the street. Suddenly a white Stalker drove up and three GOU got out and tranquilzed the man, beating him till the drugs came into effect. Just as quickly as they appeared they were gone.

Stacy clung to Vix and watched the man being beaten for seemed like no reason and she shook her head in pity and fear. If that had happened on Alversia, there would already be Squad Cars in pursuit of the attackers, the army would have been called in. Such an attack was not tolerated, not at all. Not even to Foreigners. On Alversia all were seen with the same leniency.

Stacy wanted nothing more than to comfort the man but she clung to Vix and it was her that needed the comforting. The idea that she was now a 'pet' repulsed her. Even the idea was revolting. She was a slave, conventional or sexual, she was a 'pet' an animal. The opinions and dreams of Stacy O'Neill meant nothing now. She was only alive to eat, sleep and satisfy her owner when he wanted her. That was the life that would await her here if she did not escape.

She yelped in terror as another prying hand closed around the back of her dirty, tight jeans and now others were starting to force their way into other places. She, with the collar wrapped around her neck, making her both helpless and humilated and Vix on her shoulder, she could not stop them.

"Help me," She whispered to Vix in a low voice, "I'm so frightened"

Stacy had not even had her 20th birthday yet. Now she was amongst a ravenous horde who wanted her.

Stacy had not even had her 20th birthday yet. Now she was amongst a ravenous horde who wanted her.

A white light engulfed the group and they found themselves in a white apartment, there was soft carpet under neath them, and the living room was spacious, there was a small kitchen and two rooms, the whole outside of the living room was a window that couldnt be looked through from the outside. Edward wiped his already dirty forehead and looked at the others, they were much worse. Edward walked into his bathroom and turned on the warm water, he walked out and handed Stacy a towel " You all can take a shower, if that's one thing you have earned, im sorry."

"I'm so frightened"
"Let it stop, let is stop, please Qonn..." moaned Vix. She was being touched in places that would get the offender jailed and probably executed on Xiscapia, her only comfort the other terrified female beside her. In terrified desperation she lashed out, knocking one of the assailents to his knees before he toppled over, clutching his groin. There was a great shout and hands reached roughly now, ripping her shirt and tearing her pants, but before anything could happen, there was a flash of light and it was over.

Vix lay with Stacy almost on top of her, panting with silent tears rolling down her face. She was eagle-spread, mouth open, eyes closed. Sio was down on one knee, having been forced to kneel by the mob, head raised as if staring at someone. The abrupt change startled him and he fell onto his side, breathing deeply on all fours at the sudden space and absence of people.

"You all can take a shower, if that's one thing you have earned, I'm sorry."
"You're," Sio took a breath, "sorry? We almost got raped back there, and you're sorry? How can you live like this? What hideous mind conceived these monstrosities?"
Vix scrambled up, looking around wildly. No one. She helped Stacy up, standing tall again, and went into the bathroom without looking at Edward or Sio, hand holding Stacy's and pulling her along.

Edward sat in the kitchen and washed his hands, as the ladies were bathing. He didn't bother to talk to them at the moment, they were all more angry now than when they were on the Observer. Edward didn't want to get his furniture dirty so he stood until he himself could wash up. The punch had been a very bad idea, but hopefully they could get away with it. He waited patiently in the kitchen, drinking a large glass of water.

Stacy clutched Vix in terror as the other Calaverans tore around them, seeking revenge. She felt someone forcing her to the ground and at the same time, grabbing at her trousers, pulling them down and someone coming up behind her pulling down their own. Her top had also been grabbed by at least thre hands and was being forced upwards. She tried to struggle desperately, then she was in the middle of an apartment, her trousers pulled down past her ass and her thin up around her shoulders. She was as good as naked.

She managed to pull down her shirt and her trousers up then she rolled off Vix and curled up in the corner, sobbing.

Then Vix managed to pull Stacy to her feet, bringing her into the bathroom. She was still shivering in shock and didn't even look at Sio or Edward. Her eyes were red with tears as she allowed herself to be led meekly into the bathroom to be cleaned up. She hated Celestis intensely already.

OOC: TG NC

Sio leaned against the counter near Edward, emotionally and physically exhasted. A burst of adreneline had put him though the ordeal, but now all he wanted to do was sleep. He shook but managed to hide in, hunching over, rudely grabbing the glass from the Calaverian and drinking greedily. At the bottom of the cup he wiped his mouth and set it down, licking his lips as he waited in silence.

Bathroom...
Vix limped into the bathroom, tired, hurt, humiliated. Her first act was to try to pry the collar off her, but the thing stayed stubbornly put, forcing her to live with it. Pulling her shirt off over it only ripped the top further, not that it mattered. Her clothes were little more than rags. Letting her pants slide down around her ankles she stepped out of them, undressing Stacy like a mother would a child. Vix was only a couple years older than the Alverisan, barely an adult, but she had always been like her apprentices big sister, and now the role was more pronounced than ever.

Vix helped Stacy in the bathtub, warm water closing around her, Vix kneeling outside. The kitsune held a bar of soap in one hand and a bottle of wash in the other. The last thing Stacy needed now was more touching, but Vix intended to be gentle, and the Alversian was in no condition for anything. Rubbing the soap into a white bubbly froth, she began to clean the Alversian off, murmuring a light song of comfort as she did so.

Stacy allowed herself to be cleaned, flinching everytime she was touched. She was still in shock and, although she was naked, she still had the damn collar on and a hand came up to try and meekly push it off. It did not work and so she just sat and allowed herself to be scrubbed, feeling the collar dig into her neck,
"Why?" She asked, almost to herself, "Why me? Why here?"

OOC: TG Xis

"Why me? Why here?"
"Why indeed?" asked Vix, scrubbing firmly. Her breasts dipped as she leaned forward, applying more water to Stacy's back. "We were unlucky. If we hadn't taken the assignment on Gomi's ship, we wouldn't be here. But we are, now. It's over, though. If things play out right, we can wait inside until Edward arranges transport away. Once we escape we can inform the Empire and Republic and shut down this sick operation for good."

Vix was struggling with herself. She had never intended to take the mantle of responsibility for Stacy. It was not that she did not like her. Quite the opposite. Vix loved Stacy in all ways, but Vix had barely come of age by Xiscapian standards. By those same standards Stacy was still a child, although Vix understood adulthood was achieved for Alversians at nineteen. Neither were ready for anything like this, the killing, the horror, the trauma.

But now Vix had accepted Stacy's life and well-being onto her shoulders. Stacy would get out, she promised herself, even if she had to fight off every Calaverian on the planet and kill every Imitator in the galaxy. She would see the Alversian though this, even if it meant forfeiting her own life.

Stacy took comfort in the words Vix gave her. Once they were away, they could tell the Republic and the Empire what exactly had happened here. When they did, She knew the Republic would declare war. The Calaverans breached too many human rights for anything else and the Alversian people would not stand by and watch it happen. They could advance and fight to stop it. Already she could see the Dreadnoughts and troops storming the planet. It made her smile internally.

But she had been through too much truama to smile externally, only reflect on what had been a terrifying experience for her and Vix. She knew that Vix had taken responsibility over her and she knew that she was only a few years older, but that was a few more years experience that Stacy did not have. She had always looked on Vix as a big sister and now she needed that support, that security. She was still only a child and this new world was terrifying for her in every possible way.

"Thank you," She managed to say to Vix as she finished cleaning her, flinching a final time before stepping out of the bath herself, her skin back to it's normal clean, pale, smooth self
"Now you," She whispered, giving Vix a kiss on the cheek and indicating to the bath. Although an Alversian would find being naked in front of another embarresing, Stayc had spent most of her life with Xiscapians and she found it anything but. Besides, she was with her big sister and she didn't care either way. She was starting to care for Vix in an entirely new way for her. She hoped that Vix felt the same.

Vix did indeed feel for Stacy, returning the favor of the kiss before she climbed into the bath. One of the things she had bemoaned thoughout their adventures was the lack of social baths, or indeed any cleaning at all. Now she sighed in pleasure as the water closed over her up to the kitsune's waist, settling in comfortably.

"What do you think of Sio?" she asked Stacy as the human began her cleaning. Vix's sexual orientation did not, as it was, point in the direction of males, to put it delicatly. However, she did not know whether Stacy's attraction deviated like hers, and it was a comforting subject anyway, away from the recent events. The other Xiscapian had been head-strong, helping them all though, giving out tasks, organizing. He was the head of the operations, and Vix felt he would have done the military proud, if he had joined.
OOC: Have to go eat now, but I'll be back soon.

Stacy went about her task, delighted that Vix had returned the kiss. She didn't know how to tell her yet but she would eventually make it all alright. She had never felt this way about another girl before but it did feel good, that she had to admit. She was enjoying herself.

"I don't know" She replied to Vix's question, scrubbing away gently, "I don't think we could have gotten this far without him. He has helped us a lot"

It was true, Sio may have been headstrong and slightly impulsive with action, there was no doubt the two females would not have made it from the Observer alive if it were not for him and his guidance. Stacy felt he would have done either the Xiscapian or the Alversian Army proud.

"Are there any clothes for us?" Stacy suddenly asked, realising all she and Vix had were rags. Sio could wear Edward's clothes but she and Vix needed something else. She was not going to walk anywhere in view of a Calaveran with a big t-shirt or small trousers. No chance.

OCC: let me catch up, THANK KASH WILSON you guys are online i was so bored last night and today.

ooc: i'm actually going now :p but you have a tg. bad luck with the timezones

OOC: Sry for posting this and I'll delete it if you want me to... I wanna try joining this but one but I've only read some of the story and am not really sure where its gone. (I read up to the part where NC's char's ship's crew was being poisoned by a guy crawling through the air ducts.)

OCC:DAMMIT PADDY!
ill reply to the tg soon

Edward heard the question of clothing, he looked down talking to them so as not to look at there naked bodys. He came out of his room and handed Sio a Calaverian Civilian suit, the only thing that animals could wear as the Calaverians did. Edward replyed to the girls " I will go out and buy some clothing, simple clothing will do. With that he was beamed out of the house and was headed for the nearest store, hand full of holo credits. Inside Edwards house were many pictures, some were with his wife who had died on a safari on another world. A man was hunting Eward as he walked, a GOU whos reputation wasn't the same as his counter-parts.

OOC: Given that we lost the last guy a couple pages in, more company would be welcome. To fill you in: Evil body-snatcher aliens took over the ship and it crashed. These four are the only survivors, and when they tried to escape on a fighter, it went on auto-pilot and took them to the homeworld of those who captured them. Now they are trying to figure out a way off-planet, but will meet complications.

Vix looked over her shoulder at Edward. She just nodded as he disappeared, rising out of the water. Droplets dripped off her body as she stepped out, picking up a towel and absorbing the water before casually throwing it aside. Sio looked at them both in full before sliding past them to the bathroom, shutting the door behind him. The sound of clothes being dropped on the floor came from the room, and Vix and Stacy were left out in the hall.

Shivering slightly in the cool apartment after the warmth of the tub, Vix stepped up to a table, which bore three pictures. The first was of a slightly younger Edward, smiling with a laughing women in front of a large shop. His wife or girlfriend, she supposed. The second was of Edward looking proud in his doctor's coat in a hanger, standing with a crowd of other doctors, nurses and scientists, the massive bulk of an Observer Vix could only assume was the Twilight behind them. The third and final picture was on some jungle world, again with the women, only this time there was a man in GOU armor in the background, holding as assault rifle. Something about him made Vix uneasy, a cruel glint in his eyes, the half mocking smile on his face.

OOC: Which essentially means I have to be clever if I'm gonna do this... I see. I have exams tommorow and some final hw to take care of so I'll prolly start posting tommorrow afternoon. Just so I know, what are you guys' timezones? I'm East Coast. It's 8:33PM where I am.

OOC: Don't worry NC, I'm not going anywhere.
I'm in the same timezone as you, but I believe NC is on West Coast time.

The next thing Edward knew were four black figures walking towards him, then he fainted. He was being dragged through the streets by armed men, GOU. They came to the front of his apartment and beamed him and his new clothes into the front room. Edward lay in the middle of the floor, out cold.

bump- XSCAPIA!!!...........you were one for....over half and hour....and didn't reply..."scratches out eyes" but i guess " tears up" i can forgive you.

Stacy wrapped a towel around herself and left Sio in peace in the bathroom. She looked around the apartment and wondered what Edward would bring back for them to wear. She doubted it would be anything nice. She felt with irony at the collar around her neck and thought ironically that it was the only piece of clothing she was wearing. She looked at the images and sighed,
"How could that man have become such a monster?" She asked Vix, placing her chin gently on Vix's shoulder and referring to Edward. She began to rub her shoulders gently, affectionately.

"I don't know," said Vix sadly, "maybe he always was. Maybe something happened. We may never know." She was enjoying the feel of the firm hands on her shoulders, but the good feeling evaporated as she turned and saw Edward lying in the hall, crumbled to the floor with a store bag lying next to him. Vix tore across the room to the fallen Calaverian. "Unconcious," she said, kneeling beside him. "It can only mean one thing," fear filled her eyes as she looked at Stacy. "They know we're here."

"What?" Stacy was suddenly looking around, terrifyed that someone was about to jump out of the shadows and attack her. Her breathing became really shallow and she seemed about to have a panic attack. Eyes darting about fearfully.

OOC: Okay I read the last few pages... from what I gathered, everyone's on NC's home planet, everyone's been greeted and such, you're all back in Ed's apartment, he's out cold. Now there's a eerie feeling in the air. Okay then. Let's see how I can pull this off...

IC:
What no one knew was that there were more eyes watching them than they thought. Ever since the Redemption incident, The Greywatch Empire had been keeping a close watch on North Calaveras. There were multiple agents all over the planet, they were swift and impossible to track. Two figured dressed in black were aware of Edward and his 'amazing' capture of 'exotic' new species. The group had been followed by two Greywatch agents, well trained, the agents made sure to act like everyone else. "You see what I saw?" One of them said. "You know it." Replied the other. Both were dressed in white and looked like the typical Calaverian, there was a female with short blond hair and her companion, a tall redheaded man. Their complexions were slightly pale, the Forbidden Ministry made them as close to perfection as they could be. Before long they were inside the apartment building, and they were well aware of everything that had happened.They stood in the hallway, near Edward's apartment deciding how to confront the group.

OCC: couple of problems NO ONE watches the Calaverians there isolated at this time, second of all your agents would have been spotted, there are no red heads.

The four GOU's beamed inside the house, all copy's of Kash Wilson, they all smiled in unison at the scene. They lifted there assault rifles, looking at eachother for a smiling reply at the scene they found. " Hands up there pretty ladys..and men." One of them replyed to Sio.

OOC: Greywatch sends 'spys' into nearly every race they encounter and the agents are equipted with technology that allows them to change their appearance. The redhead only has red hair right now because there's no one else around. The whole point is that it doesn't matter how isolated a society is, the Forbidden Ministry finds a way of getting in. They do most of the special operations with the Greywatch government not knowing even though they are sponsered by the Greywatch government. In a way, the Greywatch government doesn't actually spy on anyone, the FM does it for them and then makes sure no one ever finds out.

OCC: Well, you bett hope there not found out, it would be very bad to put your agents on a leash ^^, but i wont accept you having so many agents, and you didnt see everything yet.

OOC: I never said there were many of them. I also never stated they were the kind of agents that went through government files and all that jazz. Think of them as being observers who are only meant to relay information such as: "X race is doing X stuff. Therefore my feelings are X, I believe that we should take X action and (establish/not establish) relations with them." Also, these are cryptic agents, so there's still a lot you don't know about them and how they respond to being captured. Also notice how I haven't bothered to move them despite the fact that you have soldiers a few feet away... I wonder what I could be suggesting... ^^

IC:
"Get your damn hair fixed you idiot." The girl whispered to her companion, the man's hair went from red to blonde in an instant. "So what are we supposed to do now?" The man said, the soldiers that had beamed in were going to be a difficult factor to work into their equations. "Contact the others and make sure they're aware of our situation." The girl whispered. The man began using his cryptic network to communicate with other drones, about 20 of them were responding to him with ideas. A hive mind was an excellent thing for a drone to have in such a situation, "Lia, the others have been informed." The girl looked back at him, "Shh. Don't broadcast my name. We never know who's listening." They both leaned against the wall, listening to the soldiers who'd just beamed into the room.

OOC:
Well, you have to see things from NC's point of view. I mean, "I HAS SIX MILLIONS LEET HAXOR UBER AGENTS IN TEH GOVERNMENT HAHA" irks people. Now, I see that your people are not actually spies or assassins, but just observers. Technically, Greywatch has not encountered NC because the FEAR thread was in the future, this thread being past tense something I neglected to mention, my apologies. Still, this can work. As long as you don't overstate your presence, things will be fine.
OOC2: You also realize that everyone is in an apartment probably some stories up in a building and your agents are on the ground, so if you were trying to imply that they are invisible, well, you'd actually have to be near someone to prove it.
OOC3: Despite all apperances, I am NOT trying to be a dick. Just trying to help the thread along.
IC:
Vix had been about to paw though the bag when the three GOU appeared in front of her. She scrambled back, towel wrapping around her legs leaving her nude from the knees up. They were all carbon copies of the man she had seen in the picture! Some kind of secret police? At the moment she was more concerned with the long, evil-looking rifle pointed at her chest.

In the bathroom Sio had just dressed when a GOU materalized before him, holding a rifle. The door was shut, no one could see in, and even as the man smiled at him, Sio reacted. He launched forward, head low, shoulder thrust outward, to slam the soldier in the chin. He was too close for the man to shoot him, and the rifle clattered to the floor as the kitsune went down on top of the Kash clone.

There were four clones inside the apartment, three of whome had there rifles and Stacy and Vix. The other two heard the rustling in the room and quickly dispatched to help there comrade. The clone attacking Sio fell against the door of the bathroom, he slammed his fist into Sio's ribs. "Fuckin animal" was what he could get out of his mouth.

Sio winced but kept up the attack, panting, pummling the GOU mercilessly on the floor with his fists. The door opened a crack and Sio could see other GOU in the hall, with weapons. They were trying to kick down the door! Abandoning the bloodied GOU on the floor, Sio grabbed the assault rifle and blasted thought the thin door, lead slugs ripping though into the two Kash Wilson's side by side in the hall beyond.

Vix heard the gunfire and flinched, wishing she could do something, but she was pinned under the stare of the unmoving soldier and his rifle. She did not like the way he was eyeing her and vainly pulled her dropped towel over herself, but could do no more. The GOU could probably shoot her before she would be able to do anything.

Sio winced but kept up the attack, panting, pummling the GOU mercilessly on the floor with his fists. The door opened a crack and Sio could see other GOU in the hall, with weapons. They were trying to kick down the door! Abandoning the bloodied GOU on the floor, Sio grabbed the assault rifle and blasted thought the thin door, lead slugs ripping though into the two Kash Wilson's side by side in the hall beyond.

Vix heard the gunfire and flinched, wishing she could do something, but she was pinned under the stare of the unmoving soldier and his rifle. She did not like the way he was eyeing her and vainly pulled her dropped towel over herself, but could do no more. The GOU could probably shoot her before she would be able to do anything.

The GOU took cover as the bullets tore through the apartment door. There was a thud as a stray round went through one of the Kash's heads, he hit the floor hard and twitched. The pummled clone wiped his mouth of blood, drew his tranq pistol and fired into Sio's back. The remaining clone kept his rifle on Vix, waiting for the end result of the fight with Sio and his copys.

OOC: I wasn't trying to imply there were a whole lot of agents around, I'm very modest with Greywatch's ability to get into places undiscovered. The nature of my nation, or what I like to think of as an Empire, is described in its name: Grey. Not black or white but in the middle of the two, strictly nuetral. That's why my responce was like that before. Saying, 'I replaced your population overnight' and saying: 'well, there are a few hidden agents in your city' are two different things.
On the other note, I'm aware this is an apartment building and I'm not saying these guys can go Arbiter on you with active camo. (I also never stated where they were watching you from O.o) What I'm saying is that they are, one, very sneaky cause they're agents, its kinda how they roll and two, (something I wanted to save for later) drones are able to manipulate space on a small degree so making a temporary 'doorway' from one place to another place is something they can do. Yes there are many different things that attach to this, it uses a lot of energy and can't be used all the time, yes it is very noticeable if you're in a public area, yes it only works over short to medium distances, etc etc...

IC:
The two agents were mystified at what was happening and decided to begin moving away slowly. "Jesus, I don't even wanna know what's happening in there." The girl said quietly, the man behind her looked interested, "I sure as hell do."

OOC: Last post for tonight... so tired.

OCC: well, just let me have fun with the Xscapians and Alversians first, then we can start messing with eachother, Xscapia and I had plans, yes even for Sio ^^

OOC: Okay this will be my last (dammit I'm so into this right now). Don't worry NC, you guys can keep messing around like you're doing, as I said, observers. My guys prolly won't be all that involved until they themselves are confronted.

Stacy yelped as the four men appeared in front of her her and raised their weapons. She wanted to do something, to find the courage that driven her on the Observer but with the collar around her neck and a tower over her naked body, she felt so helpless and just shirked away. She saw one of the men target her with the rifle and the look in his eyes was just like the one in the crowd outside. She knew the look, she was too vulnerable. She wanted someone to protect her right now, someone to come out and save her from this nightmare.

But Vix, her only possible help was pinned by a rifle as well, there was no help there. Then she heard the weapons fire and fliched away in terror. She knew it must be Sio. What was he doing? If he was killed they were would never get off this planet. She could see that Vix's towel had fallen away, revealing her entire body to the man. She subconciously pulled her own towel a litte further up. The man was roving her figure, she felt like a petrified mouse caught in the gaze of a cat.

The GOU guarding Stacy began to approach her, he sat down next to her, his tranq pistol out. He ran his hands through her hair " Your lucky we don't ring the bell and let everyone know your here." he breathed on her neck.

OOC: And the point of the whole arguement is what?

Stacy flinched as the Kash clone ran his hand through her smooth, black, clean hair. She could see the tranquilisor as well and now she was visibly shivering in fear at what was happening to her. She was supposed to be safe here and now she was being blackmailed by this imposing Calaveran clone. Her perfect figure was still protected by the towel but now she wished she had some clothes on.

"Please" She begged meekly, thinking of what the Calaverans would do to her if they knew she was here, "Don't tell them we're here"

She looked over at the terrified Vix. She wanted her big Sis to help her and comfort her. She knew in her heart that Vix was equally as terrified as her. That didn't change the desire to be in her arms.

The clone put the towel over her some more " Oh, we won't say anything, hell, we will help you off the world if need be, how does seeing your family's again sound?" He smiled next to her ear.

"Pardon me Lia, I'm really intersted in this situation." The man broke off and walked to the door (I'm assuming the door is closed, am I right?) but didn't knock. He thought twice and leaned back against the wall across from the door to the apartment. The girl put her hand to her forhead, "Stupid, stupid, stupid..." she muttered. If they got caught she knew shit was gonna go down.

A civlian walked up to her " Hello, are you lost?" The typical Calaverian, Blonde hair with aqua eyes.

OOC: Thank you NC. How very sneaky. ^^

IC:
Lia turned, she was taken a little by suprise. "Uhm. Yes, I think we have the wrong apartment. Sorry, we'll be on our way." She rushed over to the man, "My companion here always gets curious and tends to wander around." She looped her arm around his and tugged a little. He immediately began walking with her as they walked calmly past the woman, to the nearest elevator. (Please don't throw a curve ball at me here. They do have elevators right?)

OCC: ya, well say they have elavators, but the people usually beam.

The civilian waved them away " Glory to Calaveras, Glory to the great leader." and the civilian went away with his duty's.

OOC: Are there beaming stations or is it something that civilians can just do? If it's the the latter than we can solidly establish that as being one of my agents' flaws, the inability to use beaming as means of transportation.

IC:
They both continuted around a corner and looked around. "Dammit that was close," Lia said to her partner. "Guess the plan has changed a bit then?" The man said to her. She looked around, everything was clear, the two changed their looks, different body builds, hair styles, faces, and voices while their hair and eye colorations remained the same. "Okay then, I'll call you Walter since no one ever gave you a name." The man gave her a puzzled look, "Walter? Drones don't typically have names but, fine, I'll be called that from now on." The two nodded. "Now for a plan..."

The city remained the same, the thousands upon thousands rushed through there state-fufilled lifes. One of the holo billboards had a women smiling on it, she stated.

" Feed your animal the finest in state provisions, make sure to check there heartbeat and tempature regularly as to find any health defects. Your animal needs your love, so give it the best care you can afford, thank you and glory to the people."

Sio continued to spray out the door with his rifle until the dart hit him in the small of the back. Wincing in pain, he half turned, rifle up, but collapsed before he could target and shoot the clone.

Vix knew the GOU was the only one with them, but by the sound of it there were even more. Without weapons, without clothes or transport or friends to rely on, there was little chance they could do anything. She just spoke to the eerily identical man. "Don't hurt her," her voice was strong, "why don't you pick on someone...older?"
OOC: If Kash is a representation of you, NC you are one sick puppy.

Edward woke up on the floor and stumbled to his feet, his hands were out in front of him like futile shields. " Please....please don't kill us." A clone dragged Sio and threw him on the couch. The living Kash's were now standing in front of Stacy, Vix, Edward and the incampatiated Sio. There rifles were raised, but they were dropped. One stepped forward and took Edward into a room. The others didn't say a word to the survivors. Inside the room the clone and Edward spoke " You really want these people to get out, we read the files on the probe" Edward felt stupid ".....yes, yes I do, the gover..." Kash yelled " I am the goverment!". Edward fell back from the voices impact. " So I'll give you two options, im not just some thug." Edward nodded " One, I take you all out with my boomstick, or two we get a night with the ladies..and men." Edward almost threw up his lunch " You can't be ser.." Kash interuptted " Oh, im VERY serious doctor." Edward sat for a moment, and nodded slowly, he felt like a traitor to the Alverisan and Xscapians. " Good" kash said as he exited out of the room and into the living room with the others. Edward came out shortly afterword, his head hung low.

OOC: Isa, Greywatch, please kindly shut the fuck up. You're just cluttering up the thread with OOC mess. If you need to yell at each other, make an OOC thread please.

"I say we go in with guns blazing, its better that way." Walter wispered with a small hint of glee. "Do you have a silencer?" Lia asked him. "No. Why would I?" He asked with a stupified expression. Lia rolled her eyes, "I don't feel like alerting the army of our presence, do you?"
"Ah good point."
"That's why I'm here. Now then, perhaps if we just knock on the door and play it off well... we could seem like a couple who got mixed up and went to the wrong apartment."
"Okay than. We'll do it your way."

OOC: Please refer to the OOC for future conflicts.
IC:
"What are you going to do with us?" asked Vix, looking at the clone as he came out of the room with Edward in tow. She knew there had been three GOU, with a fourth in the bathroom. Only three came back, and one of them was bruised and bloodied around the face. The kitsune wondered what the penalty for killing a Calaverian soldier was. She shot a look at Stacy, who she could tell was scared, but Vix could do nothing to comfort the Alversian. If only Edward has thought ahead, had not been so shortsighted. The towel was wrapped around her a little more tighter, and the tension was abruptly interrupted by a knock at the door.
OOC: Greywatch, it's vital to our plans to have Vix and Stacy...ah, "spend a night with the Calaverians", as NC put it, but I certainly wouldn't mind if you were able to bust out Edward and Sio from their clutches.

Vix and Stacy were seperated, Vix was grabbed by the arm and taken into Edwards room. Stacy was taken to the guest room. Edward just sat indian style, his head low in betrayel. The remaining GOU went up to Sio, then turned to the knock at the door, he called out " Galactic Observation Units, state your intentions"

OCC: lol nice.

OOC: Gimme a bit of an outline of this apartment, I'm not sure who's in or out of the room at the moment. Is everyone in the apartment at the moment. Just so I know how to tackle this. And who is that other GOU talkin to?

OCC:It is a State apartment block, a tall square building with a bunch of identical apartments, everyone is inside the apartment except for you, The GOU are all clones of Kash. Edward was a doctor on board the Twilight which crashed and he met up with Xscapia and Alversia's char's, they escaped to here.

OOC: Not exactly what I meant, lemme see, from reading this... There a large room that one would initially walks into. From there, you can go into the bathroom, guest room, main bedroom and I'll assume there's a kitchenette sort of thing. (If this ain't right tell me.)

Lia and Walter walked back the apartment. The stood right outside the door. "Assume Banishment." Lia said quietly, two silenced SMGs appearing in her hands. Walter knocked on the door, "Hey is anyone home?" They both then stood out of the way, just in case someone decided to open fire on the door.

The Kash clone that wanted Sio was getting aggravated " Yes!, we are GOU troopers, return to your duty's citizen." The clone gripped his assault rifle and turned the saftey off.

"This isn't gonna be easy..." Lia mumbled, "Reverse Banishment." The two weapon dematerialized. The two walked away from the door, "What now?" Walter asked. "Dunno. Too bad we didn't get AC suits or this would be easier." Lia replied with an impatient look.(Not air conditioning; active camo. ^^)

OCC: yes, save Sio and Edward, but only after we finish.

The Kash clone returned to the sleeping Sio, he contiuned, by kissing Sio. His hands searched inside Sio's pockets, running his hands on his ribs and shoulders.

"Please,"
Stacy moaned feeling unable to resist the stronger Clone as he carried her into the Guest room. She had watched as Vix was taken into another room. She wanted to be with her Sis, she wanted to be anywhere but here. Now it seemed her fate was destined for tonight anyway and she clutched desperatly at the Calaveran,
"Please," She begged again, "Vix! Help me!" She cried in desperation

OCC: might not be on tonight.

He threw Stacy on the bed, and drew a shot. This was carryed by all GOU troopers, used to make it easier to take advantage of there victims. The injection super charged the victims sex drive, making them accept it. The clone shoved the needle into her arm, as did the other clones to Vix, and Sio. Stacy was getting felt all over from the clone, as he began to take her.

While all of this was going on, Lia and Walter were wandering the streets, not aimlessly, they knew where most things were but they were being, more or less, idle. They were waiting for a chance to do something, to go back to the apartment. "Walter, what exactly are we supposed to be doing?" Lia said quietly as the two wanted together closely. "We're waiting for an opening."
"Why out here?"
"We were a little suspiscious back there remember?"
"How will we see our opening?"
"I have a third I trained on the apartment door. It's pretty much an all seeing eye."
"That sounds noticeable."
"It's invisible, in fact its not even physical."
Lia looked at him, she'd never worked with a drone before and didn't fully understand what they were. Is that the limit of your ability? Is there more that you can? I wish I could understand what you are... He took her hand in his to calm her down. "Don't worry Lia, I'll explain more about this later."
"How much can you see?" She spoke even more quietly than before, almost whispering. Walter still heard her, "Everything and nothing. I see only the basics. For the most part the third eye is color blind but it can see through any solid objects. I see lights... neon blue lights... I can literally see the life in its purest state. There are multiple ones, they are paired together... merging into one... its hard to tell what's happening." Walter began to ramble quietly as they walked, Lia only caught pieces of his words. They would go back when Walter gave the okay, it was strange for Lia, for the first time she wasn't in full command of the situation.

bump-

Vix struggled with her own captor as he bodily picked her up and tossed her onto Edward's bed. She refused to scream, but her ears perked and tail lashed in agitation as she heard Stacy's own terrified cries for help. Vix started to get up but the GOU roughly pushed her back down, jamming a syringe into her arm. She groaned, half in pain, half in pleasure, as the liquid entered her bloodstream. Vix didn't want the Kash clone any more than she had before, but the injection made it far easier to take her. She could barely move now as she crawled across the bed, towel entirely abandoned now, to get away from the Calaverian.

Sio had woken and he closed his eyes, sighing softly, as the GOU got on top of him. "You'll just love..." His eyes opened and he looked straight into the clones. "This!" His fist came out and slammed the soldier straight in the nose, breaking it and throwing the man halfway across the room. Sio picked up the rifle from the floor and clubbed the clone with it until he lay still, badly bruised and bleeding, not breathing.

Sio looked to Edward, but the doctor seemed to be in a trance, staring downward. The kitsune looked at the door, then back at the bedrooms, where he knew what was happening to the females. One of the Great Atrocities. He had to stop them. Going to the bathroom, Sio picked up his sword and stepped back out into the hall in front of the door, preparing to attack.

OOC:
Here's the deal: Sio is not a critical part of the plan, and therefore can escape. However, he will not leave because he can't, as a character, stand to leave Vix and Stacy like they are. However, what will happen to the girls has to happen because it's a plot twist we planned. Here's where you come in handy, Greywatch: Your agents need to, for some reason or another, silently abduct Sio from the apartment, and Edward too I guess, but not disturb Vix, Stacy or the GOU. Sio will not go willingly, so they might have to K.O. him.

Sio looked to Edward, but the doctor seemed to be in a trance, staring downward. The kitsune looked at the door, then back at the bedrooms, where he knew what was happening to the females. One of the Great Atrocities. He had to stop them. Going to the bathroom, Sio picked up his sword and stepped back out into the hall in front of the door, preparing to attack.

OOC:
Here's the deal: Sio is not a critical part of the plan, and therefore can escape. However, he will not leave because he can't, as a character, stand to leave Vix and Stacy like they are. However, what will happen to the girls has to happen because it's a plot twist we planned. Here's where you come in handy, Greywatch: Your agents need to, for some reason or another, silently abduct Sio from the apartment, and Edward too I guess, but not disturb Vix, Stacy or the GOU. Sio will not go willingly, so they might have to K.O. him.

The clone that Vix was with, tore the towel off her, and forced her on to her stomach, he began to take advantage of her position. Keeping a hand free to knock her out if need be. Stacy was in the same situation, her clone had heard Sio's struggle, he zipped up his pants angrily and picked up his rifle and aimed it at the door " Come on you son of a bitch, come get me, I'll make sure you never see Xscapia again!!"

Stacy cried again as the needle dug into her arm and injected something into her bloodstream. She wriggled desperatly, trying to get away from the GOU, trying to find safety, trying to find Vix. Then she seemed to lose all power in her arms and legs. She went almost limp and twisted up to face her attacker.

She was still terrified of what was happening and her mind was in shutdown,
'This can't be happening' She thought over and over again, 'This is a dream, I'm going to wake up and be safe with Vix at the port. This is not happening'. The GOU was ready now, she could feel his hands moving across her smooth body, groping her, feeling her porcelain like skin. A small tear fell from her eye and ran down her check as it happened.

"Vix..." She whispered again pitifully.

OOC: LOL Okay Xis... abduction... how am I gonna plan this one? I'll try to do something clever.

Lia and Walter arrived a few minutes later back at the apartment. They were walking quickly through the halls but trying not to look like they were any rush. "Are you sure about waht you saw?" Lia said quickly, "I'm certain, the third eye picked up a disturbance. Looked like some kind of a conflict between to life forms."
"Shit, we should never have left."
"Its fine. We're fine, I doubt anything bad has happened."
"Bullshit, you said the lights were merging as one, that means contact. Can you distinguish sex with your third eye?"
"No."
"Can you tell two life forms apart when they're close together?"
"Unfortunanly I haven't trained my third eye."
"Shit." Lia had been instructed to not get involved with local happenings but for the first time, her emotions were beginning to show through. Walter grabbed her arm as they got to the door, "Careful, there are still two unnuetralized life forms behind the door." Lia rolled her eyes, "I don't really care. This door comes down and some soldiers are going to hell." Walter stopped her once again and, while holding her away from the door, began knocking lightly so the sound would only be heard by those close to the door.

"Come out here and fight like the man you're not!" screamed Sio back in defiance, katana in one hand and rifle in the other. He heard the knock and it distracted him for a moment. "Huh...?" he asked, half turning to look.

Vix was crying as she felt the GOU mount her, the pain was scything it's way to the core of her being, then everything went black...

"Come out here and fight like the man you're not!" screamed Sio back in defiance, katana in one hand and rifle in the other. He heard the knock and it distracted him for a moment. "Huh...?" he asked, half turning to look.

Vix was crying as she felt the GOU mount her, the pain was scything it's way to the core of her being, then everything went black...

The clone had his way with Vix, implanting the seed for a hybrid, only in the future would the effects of this day come into play. Two GOU's were killed, both by Sio. Stacy was being treated the same as the clone held his rifle towards the door as he got behind her, she wasn't able to struggle do to the injection. He smiled crazly, sweat dripping off of him.

"Something different... I can't tell. Ugh. This is the limit of the third eye, it must close now." Wlater mummbled, his body went a little limb and he leaned against the wall. Lia was gatting pised the entire time, being an agent on this planet had been difficult, espescially for her. "Assume... banishment." She mumbled and two silenced SMGs appeared in her hands once more. She prepared to kick down the door...

Sio panted as he leaned against the door. The GOU he thought he had blungendoned to death he risen, but fallen in the next instant as Sio shot him in the chest, close range bullets tearing though his armor and peircing organs. The soldier who had raped Vix had come out to kill Sio, but the kitsune had put a bullet in between his eyes before the GOU made it two steps. Now Sio was trapped. If he tried to run across the room to Vix, he would enter the line of fire of the last remaining GOU and be killed.

OOC: Not too sure what to do so I'll let you guys choose.

Option 1:
Lia went all out with full force. Her foot slammed into the door ripping it from the wall, almost. It was flung open, hanging by only one hinge, bent inward. "That's one hell of a door... dammit, I try to look good and look what happens..." Walter was staring in shock at the mess Lia had made. "Well that wasn't noticeable..." He said with a bit of a smile...

Option 2:
Walter knocked on the door again before Lia could kick it down. "Hey. Anyone in there? C'mon, open up. We're not gonna hurt you. I hope." He said, Lia rolled her eyes. She was feel her emotions again, being on this world had temporarily stolen them but they were back now. "Yeah c'mon," she said, gripping the weapons tightly, "We're friendly."

Sio panted as he leaned against the door. The GOU he thought he had blungendoned to death he risen, but fallen in the next instant as Sio shot him in the chest, close range bullets tearing though his armor and peircing organs. The soldier who had raped Vix had come out to kill Sio, but the kitsune had put a bullet in between his eyes before the GOU made it two steps. Now Sio was trapped. If he tried to run across the room to Vix, he would enter the line of fire of the last remaining GOU and be killed.

Edward shook his head " Im sorry, im sorry, im sorry, im sorry" he repeated. He was as good as dead if they stayed on the planet. GOU would be swarming the area soon.

ORBIT

The fleet stood idle. There was a massive explosion as a ping cannon tore into another Observer, the white specks of fighters could be seen flying out through the fleet, as if they were mad. Plasma filled space as the Galactic Observation Armada was slugging it out at eachother.

OUTSIDE apartment

Screams filled the streets, as did the sound of gunfire. Body's dropped while some rose, mandibles out, chasing civilians across the street, the propaganda still blared but people were to busy running for there lives at the suprise attack.

OOC: Not too sure what to do so I'll let you guys choose.

OCC: just break the door and knock out Sio!! please...

OOC: I will reply to option 1, but there seems to be a change of plans: Get everyone out!
IC:
Sio stumbled forward as the door was kicked down behind him, turning sharply with his rifle raised. There was the chatter of gunfire as the GOU who was with Stacy spat bullets at Sio. Two connected, the first hitting his rifle and knocking it from it hands, the second ripping though his left fox ear, shredding it to a sorry bit of flesh. Sio dropped to the floor, more out of reaction than having been hit. But to those present, it would look like he had been shot in the head.

Vix had almost passed out, but some cruelty kept her awake, and now she dragged herself away from the bed, stepping over the corpse of the soldier who raped her, spitting into his face. She saw Sio, lying on the floor, she saw the man and woman behind him, and she heard gunfire, screams, screetches and roars of fighters and vehicles outside. She was stark naked, without even her katana sword, weak, violated, and surronded by enemies. The female Xiscapian stood framed in the doorway, mind not comprehending what she was seeing.

Stacy lay on the bed while her own Assailant put his armour on, keeping a careful eye on the door. Stacy was still on the bed, tears streaking down her face. She couldn't move, she didn't want to move. Her mind was frozen with the shock of what had just happened to her. She had been violated. She wasn't even 20 yet and she had been raped by a Soldier. The bed was wet with her tears and all she could do was moan,
"Vix?," She moaned quietly, "Please..."

OCC: Edwards gonna get Stacy and Vix out, unless you want Sio to come to i was going to have him killed.

Edward stood up and ran to Vix, shaking her as Vix stared out into space. " Cmon, we have to leave!"

OOC: Sweet...

"Every goddamn soldier in this room had better get on the floor before I give them a onr-way trip to go see the devil himself!!" Lia screemed, "Calaverian bitches goin' DOWN MFs! Down!" Lia was in an interesting state, half furious, half ecstacy. She held her two weapon up, pointing at the ceiling with a large grin on her face. Walter stood behind her, "Geez... how'd I end up with you... I wonder what time of year it is... that might have something to do with it." He said under his breath. The two looked over the Xiscapians. "Greetings... I dont' really know what you are... Anyway..." Walter walked past them to look out the nearest window, "Sounds like all hell has broken loose... Leona! Now's a good time to get out of here!" Lia shot a semi-demonic glance at Walter, "Lia DAMMIT! Its Lia!"

Vix found herself being shaken by Edward, and snapped out of it, shaking her head. "Stacy!" she breathed, and darted around the corner, running straight into the GOU soldier. She knocked him over, entirely unintentionally, and fell next to the bed. He cursed and fumbled around in the darkness for his rifle. Vix pulled at Stacy's arm. "C'mon! We have to leave, now!"

Sio was also in a state of shock, lying on the floor, blood dripping over his head. His eyes were open and all he managed was a soft groan as he tried to get onto all fours.
OOC: Sio's not going to die.

Edward picked up the rifle and blew the GOU apart, the clones were all dead, but he knew there must be more...somewhere. He ran into the room with Vix and Stacy " Well get a ship and get away..far away." he was sweating violently and shaking a little as he fumbled with his glasses.

Lia waled ove to Sio and, dropping one of her guns, pulled him up onto his feet with one hand. She let the body rest against her and saw the female Xiscapian run into the soldier. When she was out of the way she opened up on the soldiers head, ripping it to pieces. Wlater walked over to take Sio as Lia picked up her weapon, "Don't worry, its all good." Walter said gently.

OOC: Double team.

"What's happening out there?" Vix asked, hoisting Stacy onto her shoulders. Thank Qonn Alverisans were so light. Vix's legs were splattered with gore from the dead GOU having been blown apart by combined fire, along with other fluids. She staggered out into the main living room, looking over the two new arrivals. She figured they must be friendly, because if they had wanted to kill them, they could have done so very easily.

Sio looked at Walter. "All...good?" he rasped, gesturing weakly outside and giving a cough that almost could have been a laugh.

Sio looked at Walter. "All...good?" he rasped, gesturing weakly outside and giving a cough that almost could have been a laugh.

Edward ran his hand over a scanner and they were all immediatly beamed into a very dark place, it was a garage. White lights came on revealing a silver car. Edward got inside, and gestured the other to do so, quickly. " We can drive to our old fighter, then we can escape...hopefully."

Stacy felt someone grab at her arm but she was vaguely aware of what had happened in the past few seconds. She knew that the Solider who had so violated her was now dead but that seemed to have little impact on her at all. The only thing that made any impact was when Vix talked to her.

"Vix!" She leapt up and wrapped her arms around the naked Xiscapian, sobbing bitterly down her back, unable to stop herself. Her mind had just registered what had happened to her.

Walter took Sio gingerly and got into the vehicle (which was not exactly an easy action while holding a person) without a second thought. Lia jumped into the side seat, "Shotgun!" She was wearing a huge smile.

Edward wiped his forehead and looked at the women next to him, he was to confused to talk to her, he stared forward, waiting for Vix and Stacy to be in the vehicle.

Vix patted Stacy tenderly on the shoulder and slid inside the car beside Sio and Walter. The leather seats felt cold to her bare back and rear and she shivered slightly, holding Stacy on her lap. Sio leaned his head back into his seat, sighing and closing his eyes.

Streets...
Imitated Calaverian civilians and GOU ruthlessly hunted down and infected all they met, killing those they couldn't. Probe fighters strafed the streets but were blown out of the skies by Imitated pilots. The Calaverians began attacking everyone, even the uninfected, in desperation. The Imitators, meanwhile, were calm and precise, communicating though their telepathic link as they systematically destroyed the opposition.
Orbit...
On the bridge of a Observer, a Imitated officer stood behind the Captain. The space beyond was filled with thousands of dogfighting small craft and monstrous Observers blasting away at each other. The Imitator calmly lifted his pistol and blasted his Captain in the head, blowing his brains all over the window before assuming command.
Out of the ashes of Celestis, a new nation would arise.
The Alliance of Imitated Systems.
AIW.

The lights went out in the garage, the blue glow of instrument inside the black car lit up. Edward put his foot on the peddle, they were picking up speed in pitch black, no idea where they were going. There was a crash and a blast of light as they roared into the street, Edward saw masses of people fighting eachother, one of whom was bulled over by the car. The group of people were on there way to the docking station, to escape, to survive.

Stacy just sat in the car with her head in Vix's lap. She was shivering fiercely, both from the cold and what had just happened to her. She couldn't help but cry and the tears seemed never ending. She was now just holding on to her 'Sis' for comfort and security. Security that was too late in coming but she still needed. She felt completely destroyed.

Space

Watching as the two fleets tore into each other, a familiar Alversian stepped from the shadows. He kicked the body of the Captain out of the way as he glanced through the windows,
"Well done, Captain" he smiled, "It seems we have the advantage. How goes the ground battle?" he asked patiently

"This is gonna be a fuckfest. I hacked a few comm centers and it seems there's nothing but chaos." Lia said to the group. Walter looked at the back of her head, "Lia, just do it now. It won't matter." Lia looked back at her companion. Suddenly, the illusion that was produced by her armor faded, reveiling the face of a full blooded Leanorian. "Yeah yeah, y'all are prolly like: 'What the FUCK?!' No I'm not a Cally, I'm from the Greywatch Empire, like my companion. Though I'm not a human, but oh well." She turned around to look out the windshield, clutching her guns tight.

OOC: Leanorians are best described as anthro-lions, or in this case, an anthro-lioness. Short golden fur, blue eyes and all that jazz. Yes they do have retractable claw on both paws and feet. They have feline like feet and hands so they have customized boots and gauntlets. Their teeth are nothing to mess with fyi.

Edward was stunned but kept his eyes on the round, glacing at the thing that appeared next to him " What the.." They continued to thunder down the road, he looked in his mirror at Vix and Stacy, another does of betrayel came to him as they made there way to the docking station, the car bumped over dead Calaverians. " Were almost there, everyone get ready to get out, and quick."

Vix stroked Stacy's head, hand half over her face to shield her eyes. She did not want Stacy to see what was happening out in the streets, even if the Alversian could fairly easily discern it. The car seemed to be entirely soundproofed, and for all the fighting there was only the gentle thrum of the engine beneath them.

Streets...
Imitators weren't even bothering with vehicles. They'd shut down the ports and docks, controlling them, trapping the population of Celestis on their planet. The only hope of the six now would be to use the fighter they had come in, landed in a private pad.
Observer...
The Calaverian called up a projection from the Captain's chair. It registered this as the Observer Einstein. Whoever that was. "The ground battle is going well, Commander." He replied without emotion. "We have locked down all major space ports and docks, and our people are creating chaos among these Calaverians. Infection rate is at ninety-eight percent, and nearly as quarter of the population has already been assimilated even as we speak."
OOC: Remember, the Allies find Celestis dark and cold, but not glassed or nuked, so somehow everyone (excluding the chars) will have to either die or move away from Celestis. As Commander of the Imitators, Patterson can detect the Allied approach and order Imitator forces to withdraw for fear of being destroyed.

Edward made the car screeched to a halt as they almost fishtailed. They were jolted forward then back. Edward opend the door, and quickly opend the passenger door for the others. " Come on, there coming!" He looked past the car, down the street the Imitators were running towards them, hungry for them. The White fighter sat on the pad, its door was still open, appearantly undamaged.

Stacy could not hear the battle outside nor did she care. She just wanted to be away from this planet and away from where she had been so badly treated by the Calaverans. She just wanted to be with Vix. She was so shocked she did not even notice the change from their rescurers. Nor did she feel the collar anymore, it was irrelevant to her.

Space

"Well done, Captain, you have done well" Patterson stated happily, he had found a Captain's uniform and that was what he was now wearing instead of the rags. A Calaveran pistol hung by his side,
"Continue with the battle, I want all Imitated Calaverans beamed to the Observer Fleet and prepared for war"

Lia was smiling even as she saw the destruction. "I'm ready, I'm so ready. Give me the word and I'll rip it up." Walter was sure something about Lia had changed, he couldn't quite put his finger on it yet though, he shrugged it off."Must be an adrenaline rush..." he said under his breath. "As soon as we need to get out, tell me. I'll gun down anything that comes our way." He then looked at Sio, "I hope you can walk on your own." Walters hive mind was alive with activity, the Forbidden Ministry itself had tapped into him so see what was happening. Suddenly a message came to him over his cryptic network, We would love a sample... but amoung all that chaos, it might be impossible. Drone, shall we send a cruiser? For Walter the world went silent as he was temporarily trapped inside himself, No, I don't know the situation above the planet. This attack seems well planned... it could be an invasion. The voice came back, Very well, drone. The Forbidden Ministry wishes you luck.

As the car came to a halt, Lia and Walter jumped out. They took defensive stances, Walter armed himself with a rifle using his materialization tech. Lia was already firing away at anything approahcing them. They both were half running and half shooting whatever came at them. "Keep that door open for us people, we're coming!" Lia yelled.

OOC: Can I assume Sio can move?

Edward ran into the probe fighter and began switching systems on, one by one the vessel came to life. The machine made a hum as it warmed up.

Once they were all in the fighter they blasted off. The city could be seen buring below as they ascended into the stars. The scene of battle was evident on ground and space. Edward looked back one last time at his homeworld before looking forward....forward to the future.

OCC: are we gonna rp when they get back, or should we end and continue in the futuer.

Lia looked around at the group and then at Walter. Walter looked down at Sio, it was the first time he'd ever had to really care for someone. "So where to now?" Lia asked, she looked out of the front of the ship, looked like a mess was happening above and on the planet. Walter began communicating with his cryptic network, "I think I can get a ship to take us home. Never thought it would come to this, we'd be dead if it weren't for you," Walter said, looking at Edward. Lia walked over to Edward, giving him a noogie, "Good work buddy, if you need a place to go, give us a holler. We'll prolly be goin' our separate ways soon enough." Lia was calmer now but still smiling, she never thought a simple recon mission could turn into this.

OOC: Meh, I don't know. Suppose Xis has the final say in that matter.

As the car squealed to a halt Vix tumbled out and darted across the few feet of ground into the fighters, Stacy in tow. Bullets smashed into the armored side of the fighter as they dove inside, clothed in only their collars. Vix scooted on her rear away from the doorway, dragging Stacy with her, as the others entered. She heard the two strange new beings firing away at the approaching Imitators even as Edward scrambled into a seat and sweated as his hands flew over the controls.

Sio stumbled in, shortly followed by the man and the lioness-being. The fighter lifted off even before the door closed, fire reflecting off the shields, and blasted away up though the atmosphere. Higher up plumes of smoke rose into the air from the burning buildings and vehicles below, and tiny frantic dots represented Imitators and Calaverians fighting over the damaged city. It was no better in space, a massive battle between the Imitators and surviving Calaverians.
"I think I can get a ship to take us home. Never thought it would come to this, we'd be dead if it weren't for you. Good work buddy, if you need a place to go, give us a holler. We'll prolly be goin' our separate ways soon enough."
"Who...who are you?" asked Vix from where she lay propped up against the bulkhead on the floor. All her attention was on Lia, the Leanorian, actually biologically closer to her and Sio than they were to humans.

OCC: Xscapia, im sending a tg soon.

Edward sat back, his mouth open wide as he breathed to catch his breath. He sat for a minute before covering his face in his hands and crying, his homeworld was gone, for all he knew he was the last of his kind, and he would be for a long time. He was happy for the others, but he had sacraficed.

Lia turned to Vix and smiled, her teeth showing, she took an extravagent bow as Walter rolled his eyes. "I am an elite commando turned temporary sp- covert info-gathering agent, I am also a Leanorian, one of the four primary races of Greyw-" Walter put his hand over her mouth before she could finish. "What she means is, she's a Leanorian cryptic agent. She is also my superior, I am a drone, an elite expendable soldier. There's not much more to say." Lia pushed his hand away, "What the hell Walter!" She said in a loud whisper. "Agents never give away their entire life stories... its tactically incorrect." Walter responded, also whispering loudly. Lia rolled her eyes before turning back to Vix and smiling again. "Yeah, I suppose he's right, there isn't all that much left to say."

"Evidently not." Vix stared. Grey something. "Well, under ideal circumstances, my first question would be to ask why you were there and what fortune brought you to us, but actually I'm now wondering if you have a spare change of clothing?"

While normally nudity would not bother her at all, Vix felt far too exposed and vunerable like she was, especially considering her recent experience. Vix had specifically avoided thinking about what had happened to her, thankful only that she had not been concious for it, and now she kept it down with visible effort. Strange, that neither of the two agents seemed the slightest concerned about her clothing, or lack thereof, but the Xiscapians weren't bothered by it, why should they be the only ones?
"Continue with the battle, I want all Imitated Calaverans beamed to the Observer Fleet and prepared for war"
"Yes Commander," The Imitator turned and began issuing commands, and eight Observers began beaming. One had been destroyed, and one had been damaged so it's ping was offline, but all the Calaverian ships were now under Imitator control. Tens of thousands of Imitators filled the Observers as they were beamed onto the massive Observer ships, and it was not long before the planet's total population was reduced by a quarter. The remaining Calaverians would destroy each other and the Imitators left, leaving no survivors.

OCC: ill be on shortly, ill be back in 10 or 20 mins.

Lia was coming off of her adrenaline rush and was now beginning to see the world for what it was once more. She looked over the group one more time, "Uh, not that I don't mind and all... but why the hell are you naked? I mean, the firefight, the planet, the destruction, the soldiers... and your walking around with any armor? At least basic clothing? Walter, am I dreaming or something?" Walter looked at her and then at the others, "What, you mean it's odd for people to not have clothes? I never did figure out what times it was appropriate to actually not wear anything." Lia rolled her eyes, "Wow, you guys really are sub-human aren't you?" Walter stared at her for a moment, "That's what makes us such good soldiers." Lia put her hand on his shoulder, "That is true."

"Uh, not that I don't mind and all... but why the hell are you naked? I mean, the firefight, the planet, the destruction, the soldiers... and your walking around with any armor? At least basic clothing?"
"Well..." Vix sighed. "That's a very long, complicated story." Sio had passed out in his seat, utterly exhausted, curled up and in danger of falling off to the deck. Vix herself had curled her tail around her and sat with her legs crossed, looking demurely at Lia and Walter.

Edward stopped sobbing and got up, he wiped his eyes and turned to Vix, almost snivelling. " So....Im going to need to have you put the corridinates of one of your worlds in here."

"Ah well, I got plenty of time to listen." Lia said, sitting down on the floor, legs crossed. Walter looked over at Vix, "Right. Clothes. Lia, do we have any spares? You know I don't ever carry any." Lia looked up at him, "And what? I do?" Walter gave a confused look, "Your a female, isn't that what you do?" Lia stared at him for a minute, "Ugh. Yes, I may have some extra clothes, the basic ones only if anything. Assume standard cloth times three." In front of Lia materialized three standard, unmarked Greywatch FM uniforms. They were black in color with some purple patterns on the fabric. "These are one size fit all, at least in your cases. They're kinda elastic but comfortable, at least to most of the people who wear 'em." Walter looked at the clothing, "Well they're comfortable to the initiates who wear them. Anyway, it should be good enough. Pants, shirt, and cloak. Sorry, not boots come with them."

"Thank you," said Vix gratefully, slipping into the black pants and pulling the shirt down over her head to her stomach, draping the tunic over herself last. She handed the other set to Stacy, and elected not to disturb Sio. After all, he wasn't naked, and he was getting a well-deserved rest.
"So....I'm going to need to have you put the coordinates of one of your worlds in here."
Vix examined the control board critically. "Look, the navigational computer is fried. Probably a result of a stray bullet." She frowned. "I don't know any coordinates off the top of my head, but fixing the computer might not be an option. I don't have the tools."

"Thank you," said Vix gratefully, slipping into the black pants and pulling the shirt down over her head to her stomach, draping the tunic over herself last. She handed the other set to Stacy, and elected not to disturb Sio. After all, he wasn't naked, and he was getting a well-deserved rest.

Edward ran his hands over the controls " Well, I know the location of one of Xscapia's moon's that was attacked, we were driven away so it should be under your people's control." He he changed course " Hopefully we can be picked up by a vessel."

While the other two chatted Walter went through his cryptic network before tapping Lia on the shoulder. "What is it?" She whispered, looking back at the others to make sure they weren't listening in. "We're gonna be here for a little while, FM tried getting a ship but its too dangerous at the moment." Walter whispered in her ear. Lia sighed, And just when we thought this was over, oh well. "Guess we'll just have to stick around. Do you know how to fix a nav system?" Lia whispered after collecting her thoughts. Walter thought for a moment, "I could know, its really a matter of contacting a mechanic through the CN, though I don't have any tools to work with. Not to mention I don't have the schematics for this ship."
Lia looked around at the others sorrowfully, "Dammit, well thanks anyway big guy." She said, still whispering.

OOC: You're gone for a day...

Stacy did not rejoice at the destruction of the Calaverans. Nor did she pity them. She felt nothing. She curled up into a ball in the corner and remained there. Eyes red from crying but no visible sign apart from that. She did not move. Only stared ahead. She did not even move when Vix threw her the clothes. She could not understand what had happened she had gone into shock.

--

Patterson watched as the Calaveran People tore themselves apart and smiled. He turned to his Captain,
"I think a few more recuits are in order no? We need to take advantage of the chaos while it lasts. You were once a Calaveran, how do they work? How could we get into their defences?"

Vix turned back from the controls, shaking her head to Edward. "There's no chance. We're well outside Xiscapian borders, and if we tried to cross, the outposts would destroy us on sight. We have to make it to another civilized world-" She noticed Stacy still lying on the floor, and sensed something was horribly wrong.

The Alversian was curled into the fetal position, utterly still, eyes glazed. Vix took a tentative step forward. "Stacy?" she asked tenderly, kneeling and placing a hand on Stacy's shoulder. Nothing. Vix put a hand on Stacy's wrist, pressing in with her thumb. She could feel a heartbeat, slow and steady, but Stacy did not respond except to blink.

"She's gone into shock," said Vix, rising and striding over to the little cargo area, rummaging around before she came up with a first-aid kit. She opened the box and various medical instruments, bottles and equipment spilled out over the deck of the fighter. Vix got Edward to select the appropriate medication and, holding Stacy's nose closed, forced her to swallow them. This settled the young women into a deep sleep, calming her body and eliminating the potentially fatal effects of shock. For now, though, there was little they could do. Perhaps Edward knew of a fast treatment?

Einstein...
"We have already penetrated their defenses on all levels, Commander." replied the Imitator with a soulless voice. "The infection rate is unusually high among them, and our mere presence has caused a wide-spread pandemic to spread over all of Celestis. The only Calaverians left alive now are the minority of every race which is in some way immune, and those who have sealed themselves off in underground bunkers and the like. The damage caused has been minimal to the structures and vessels, and we have received the majority of the equipment and resources needed to begin our compaign with little effort. A perfect invasion, as we have taken nearly every living thing on that globe." He pointed out the window at Celestis below.

Stacy reluctantly swallowed the pills down and, slowly, gradually, she began to unwind and unstiffen. It took a few more moments before her eyes closed and her breathing began gentler. She was asleep.

Observer

"Excellent" Patterson smiled, "This planet has suffiecient industry. We shall replace these useless hulks with more effecient and powerful warships and we can build a base here to prepare for war" he sounded deeply menacing, "As for the remaining Survivors" He seemed to change entirely in a darker person, "Kill them all. No survivors and no mercy"

Vix covered Stacy with a blanket from their supplies and made her as comfortable as possible, wrapping her in more blankets and tucking a pillow under her head. She looked sadly at her Alversian friend, stroking back a stray lock of hair from her face. The fighter had since moved away from Celestis, as most of the fighting seemed to be over and it was safer in the depths of space than near the Imitators.
Observer...
"Of course Captain-" The Imitator paused. "Captain, I have established a link to the Calaverian network of ranged sensors, and they report a large fleet of roughly eighty ships of unknown origins and creators approaching. I cannot make a conclusion at this range, but judging by the estimated formation and number, it appears a war fleet is going to arrive within fifteen minutes. With our current status and numbers, a battle would not be advisable."

Observer

"What?" Patterson gritted his teeth and remained calm, "How did these hulks ever make it as war vessels? I don't know. Order the fleet to withdraw. We have reaped a good harvest today. It will serve us well in the future" he turned to face the planet

Lia leaned back against the wall with her eyes closed, so much had happened in that one day. The only thing bothering her was the chaos she'd seen on the world below. It was unnatural, people fighting amoungst themselves in that way it was unexpected behavior from the race that she and Walter had observed for the past few weeks. Walter was thinking about the same thing, he looked out the windows of the fighter, the chaos was the same even in space. "What the hell is going on?" He suddenly said, "I've never seen this kind of chaos outside of a war." Lia opened her eyes and continued the questions, "Yeah, does anyone know why the hell a race is tearing itself apart? Is this a revolt or something?"

"Yes Commander." The Imitator turned and issued commands to the other Observers, and they jumped as one, leaving behind a war-torn, desolate landscape. Swift Imitator executions before leaving had left the entire population of Celestis either dead or Imitated.
Fighter...
"Yeah, does anyone know why the hell a race is tearing itself apart? Is this a revolt or something?"
Vix sat by Stacy's side, turning to face the two. "Well, I guess there's no avoiding it any longer." She sighed.
"To start off, my name is Vix. I'm a kitsune, an Xiscapian. So is Sio." She nodded to the sleeping Xiscapian. "Stacy, that's her," she patted her head, "is an Alversian. Alversians and Xiscapians are allies. Stacy and I have been partners for a couple of years, doing technician work on civilian vessels, mostly merchants. We were both kidnapped and taken, along with a few others, onto a Calaverian Observer. There these...things, called the Imitators, attacked, and the Observer crash-landed on an icy planet. The Imitators infect the body with their cells and take total control of their hosts, obliterating the consciousness. Almost the entire crew was Imitated, and while we fought them, I and Stacy were wounded. Sio went out and found Edward, that's the Calaverian, who preformed surgery on me. We collected supplies and escaped, but as soon as we were free from the planet, auto-pilot took control and landed us at Celestis. We had plans to escape, but then those soldiers invaded our apartment..." She trailed off, apparently not able to speak anymore.

Lia looked at Vix in bewilderment, "Wow, that's quite the story. Looks like you guys went through some serious hell. Walter, did you get all of that?" Walter nodded to Lia, "FM is searching all record for anything about 'Imitators' and the like. Very interesting, they'll tell us when they have more data. Lia, they're considering changing our mission to a 'Investigation A class priority.' Sounds like fun doesn't it?" Lia smiled, "Another mission? That's new, we're not even done with this one. I think you and some other drones would be best for that though. I mean, you guys can't get infected can you?" Walter nodded again, "We don't possess the ability to get sick. It's not in our nature nor is it physically possible."

OOC: 'Imitators' = 'Replacators' from Stargate and Stargate Atlantis?

"Yes Commander." The Imitator turned and issued commands to the other Observers, and they jumped as one, leaving behind a war-torn, desolate landscape. Swift Imitator executions before leaving had left the entire population of Celestis either dead or Imitated.
Fighter...

Edward layed down and began reading a book, it had over a thousands specieas and there information written down, only a little bit about the Xscapiasn and Alversians were on the book, but he knew the pages contained mostly lies and few truth. He began to yawn.

OOC: Ask NC.
IC:
Went though hell. Could hell be this bad?
"Edward," she said, "make the jump to lightspeed and take us away. Before long the Imitators will begin sending out patrols and we don't want to be here when that happens." She turned her attention back to Walter and Lia. "What is 'Investigation A class priority'?"

OCC: virus-like cell assimilates from cell to cell within the body, imitatoes cell to convert others without warning.

Edward got up and hit hyperspace. They were traveling through the blue glow of hyperspace, Edward went back down, and continued to read his book, he put his glasses away.

Lia and Walter looked from each other to Vix. "Well there are several kinds of missions that can be given, Investigation is one of those kinds," Walter started, "There are also several ranks for said missions." Lia then took over, "The lowest rank in a 'E' rank, easy, E... You get it right? Anyway, A rank is one of the harder missions, just below and S ranked mission, which are the hardest. For us to get an A class means that the mission isn't extremely important or necissary, but it needs to be done and could help our employers quite a bit..." She stopped to take a breath and Wlater continued, "You get paid very well for A ranks because they hold such high importance. A rank also means that the mission is going to be difficult, I can only imagine that our mission is to find us some Imitators and gather all the info we can on them. Then to bring that info back to FM." Lia smiled, "And if these things are as tough as you say... this is gonna be a bitch of a mission, assuming its given to us."

OOC: Taking that as a half-yes.

Edward didn't turn his head, he just said " You right about a mission against them, you just saw the imitators destroy a world inhabitated by billions, the army, civlians, space force all almost over night, and with deadly effectiveness, pray to whatever god you have they don't get on your world.

Walter looked at Edward, he understood the concern in his voice. "The imitators would have a much harder time with us, I shouldn't give away info like this by my 'world' is actually a 19 world empire. Not to mention that drones like me would given the Imitators a difficult time," he smiled wide showing a row of jet-black teeth, "We drones are much more than meets the eye." Lia rolled her eyes, "Yeah that's fantastic for you drones but what about everyone else? We'd all be food in a matter of hours unless we kept them from ever entering the atmospheres of every different world." Walter thought for a moment before responding, "Not true. The Xarniosi and the Elden wouldn't be affected either." Lia looked at Wlater and then herself, "So that's one of the major races and the ancient ones. Still though..." Walter shrugged, "Well that just means we'll have to kick some Imitator ass then. You know the FM, they'll create a 'cure' or at least something to protect people from the Imitators... Its what they do." Lia nodded, "Well, I suppose you're right about that. Still, let's make sure they don't find Gre- our world." Walter nodded back at her and began going through his cryptic network once more as Lia took off her shirt and began grooming herself.

OCC: well, im dead tired from last night and school, so im going to take a nap, second, gonna go swimming, third ill be on later.

OCC2: Xiscapia and Alversia, please TG me what times you are usually on, and Alversia tg me about your plans for the Alv-Cal hybrid.

OCC3: i apoligize i have been mispelling Xiscapia, forgot the first I lol damn.

OOC:
I plan on having this thread merge with a different one to be created soon. All these characters, excepting Patterson, will appear, but the thread will take place some six years into the future. Natural kitsune and Alversian long lifespans will combine with the intensified aging process clones go though so that instead of being six years old, the hybrid children age at three times the rate of a normal human or kitsune, and have the minds and bodies of a eighteen-year-old, rather than a six-year-old. Greywatch, you can join us there if you wish, or we can RP here some way of having your agents make it away from the fighter. I do wish, however, to RP briefly within the nine month period and the birth of the hybrids, and end off there. Ideally those aboard find a planet or small moon and settle there to live, being unable to find their way to any of their respective homes, or indeed any civilized worlds.

Questions, comments, more RPing, please post them here. Once the continuation thread is up, I will post it. Alversia, you have a TG.

OOC: Well I'd be happy to keep RPing with you guys if it's okay with you. Walter will not age whatsoever because he's a drone, (I can try to give a breif explanation about what drones are as I feel everything will make more since afterwards) drones also have homing-ish devices only detectable by other drones, but I'm willing to maybe scrap that for the RP purposes. The only concern is that Lia was supposed to be a semi-important char for other FT threads I may join (again, I can still adjust). If you want, I could possibly have your chars eventually make it to my world but if you have something else planned... oh well, I'll deal with it.

OOC: Well, in aforesaid thread it is a mission of exploration and discovery, after all, so I'm sure we can fit your world in somewhere.

OOC: All sounds good. Can't wait

One months later...
Sio stepped out into the cool morning air and breathed in, enjoying the scent. Thick mist obscured all but the nearest trees, curling around foilage and over rocks. They had landed on this little moon a little under four weeks ago. The navigational computer on the fighter had not been repairable, and after days of searching the six were forced to conclude that there was no civilization near them, never mind a world they knew. They had wandered far, unknowningly traveling even further away from where they started, going across the galaxy.

Now they had settled here on this tiny forest moon, living in a cave, eating fish and wild game, and generally getting along all right. They conserved their supplies, but the outdoor life had made them all tougher. The two Greywatch agents (that was where they had come from, it inevitably slipped out) had done their share of work and hunting, especially the drone, Walter.

Nevertheless, Sio felt uneasy as he went to a nearby stream with a mess tin, scooping up water. Something was coming to them, something big. Soon. He could sense it.

OOC: TG, Xis

One Month Later

Stacy had recovered from her shock and managed to regain a bit of the confidence she had found on the Observer then lost so brutally. Stacy had fought for weeks to try and fix the navigational computer of the Fighter before giving up and letting it crash into the planet.

She had contributed to the hunting as much as anyone else and she got on with most in the group. Only with Edward was she still cold and uncaring.

Now she was down at the stream with Sio, helping him to collect water. She was wearing a short sleeved top, however, as she moved forward to collect water. Her sleeves were lifted slightly to reveal a pair of deep cuts parellel along her arm.

"What's up?" She asked Sio casually, collecting the water carefully.

One Month Later...

Edward started a fire with his glasses for dinner tonight. He suspected fish would be the main course, perhaps deer. By his time, it was dawn and fog radiated the forest., he sharped a stick into a spear, primitive. He was still a little depressed from betraying Vix and Stacy, and he would hope for forgiveness in the future.

OOC: NC...dude, your post completely contradicted everything I said. It's morning, and foggy, not afternoon and sunny.
IC:
"What's up?"
Sio shook his head. "Nothing." The sense of unease was strongest around Vix and Stacy. Not radiating from them, like they themselves were uneasy, but rather as a latent force, concealed with some connection to them. Sio let the water fill the dish and drank from it, letting the liquid spill down his face. He wore only a comfortable pair of pants, chest developing some small muscles and his arms filling out. The legs of the pants were rolled up and he was ankle-deep in the river, placing a cap over the dish once he was done to avoid spilling.
He noticed the long gashes cut into her soft, pale flesh. "What are those from?" he asked softly.

OCC: lo, i must have been blind ^^

The water looked cool as Edward went down to the river, he was about fifty feet from the others as he dunked his head into the water. The cool liquid cleansed th heat from his head. Edward gasped lightly as his face erupted from the water, senting sprinkles onto his dirty lab coat.

"These?"

Stacy moved quickly and repositioned her arm so that the sleeve came down and covered the cuts completly from view. She did not look up but continued to collect water. She was in the river with Sio but, unlike Sio, she did not need to roll her pants up as they only came down as far as her knees,

"They're nothing, I cut myself on a branch the other day while hunting. Hurt like a bugger too. Did you not hear me yelp?" She asked lightly, still not looking up.

There was something different about this Stacy, something strange. She was acting detatched, aloof, like she did not really care about the problems of others and herself especially. She was in the mood that suggested that if her arm was hanging off she would still only shrug.

"Do you think this is enough?" She asked flatly, holding up the large flask.

She shot a horrifically dark look at Edward as he came down to the river but also slightly relieved at having an escape from Sio's questionning,
"I'll be up at the camp" She spat as she slung the flask over her back and heading back towards their home for the past few weeks.

"I'll be up at the camp"
Sio nodded gloomily as the Alversian strode away. None of them, with the possible exception of Walter and Lia, didn't feel some measure of hostility towards Edward, but Stacy outright hated the man. Sio had learned to live with him, but then, he hadn't been raped because of the Calaverian. Vix, too, disliked him, but she showed it by ignoring and avoiding him, making it actually rather unnoticible if you were on the receiving end...or another Xiscapian.
Camp...
Vix stretched and yawned in her make-shift bed, a sleeping bag from their supplies, before standing upright on her warm sheets. She wore only a loincloth loosly fashioned out of a mechanics cloth she had found, and stepped outside for a moment to grab a shirt before going to stroke the fire. Lia was still asleep in some other part of the cave, and Walter was, well, of doing whatever it was drones did. Hopefully the others would be returning with water and maybe breakfast.

"These?"

Stacy moved quickly and repositioned her arm so that the sleeve came down and covered the cuts completly from view. She did not look up but continued to collect water. She was in the river with Sio but, unlike Sio, she did not need to roll her pants up as they only came down as far as her knees,

Edward shrank at Stacy's eyes. He looked down and away from her, sitting down on sand, letting the sun shine on his body, and the breeze run under his arms, taking away his sweat. He looked straight at grains of sand, Edward became what his people fought.

Stacy arrived back at the camp and laid the water down on the floor of the gave. She took a quick look up and saw that Vix was awake. Her own face lit up when she saw the Xiscapian. She was the only one who seemed able to get this reaction from the Alversian nowadays.

She crouched down by where they had lit their fire the previous night and began to take some of the wood leftover from the previous night,
"Good Morning" She said affectionately, "How did you sleep?"

She was now using the skills she had learned since she had landed on the planet. Engineering was useless in this enviroment, knowing how to light a fire was much more useful.

"How did you sleep?"
"Just fine," Vix said, leaning over and giving Stacy a quick kiss on the cheek. "Is Sio bringing breakfast?" she asked as she brought out one of the matches from their emergency kit, squatting and striking it to the slightly damp wood. She cupped her hand around it and blew lightly, and a moment later a stick caught. She laid it down under the other sticks and logs and hoped it would flare up. If the wood was too damp, she would have to try again.

Stacy replied with a kiss on the cheek of her own, then she squatted down by the fire and placed her hand on the wood beside it. She gave a small nod,
"It's dry, it should light first time" At the mention of Sio, her expression distorted into a scowl,
"I dunno" She huffed, "He's with Edward so I wouldn't hold my breath. I'll go myself" She stood up again and, without another word, walked from the tent as if in a temper.
Once outside the cave, she looked around for the tools she would need to catch breakfast.

Edward walked up to Sio looking down as he approached " Sio, we never talk much now do we, I mean, im isolated from you guys and I think we should talk, not as man to animal, but as Calaverian to Xscapian." He sat sitting down on a rock, his eyes were now looking up to Sio.

Vix sighed as Stacy left, looked around suspiciously, then placed both her hands on the log as the match went out. Closing her eyes, Vix thought about fire, she experienced fire, she was the fire. The wood abruptly burst into flames and Vix fell back, startled, scooting away on her butt from the flames. Then her expression turned to one of pleasure and satisfaction. Finally.
River...
Sio placed his tin on the river bank and picked up a short, three foot long spear. This was the only thing they could use to catch fish, unless they wanted to shoot them with blasters. That hadn't gone over too well the first time they tried, and using a pistol with slugs hadn't done much better. Stalking now, Sio looked down, intent on finding a fat fish to impale, so did not notice Stacy coming with a spear of her own. Nor did he so much as glance at Edward, only muttering. "Shh."

Stacy was walking down to the river herself and noticed Sio and Edward were still there. Without a word, she turned and walked further upstream. She was walking away from Sio and away from Edward. It did not matter that she was soon concealed from view. Stacy had explored these coves for hours and knew them like the back of her hand. It also helped that she was away from Edward. That was the main reason.

Edwards head turned at Stacy's presence and quickly shot in the opposite direction, it was as if looking at her would turn him to stone. He watched Sio with intesity, his stomach was growling.

Sio did not appear to notice the actions of either Calaverian or Alversian as he leaned over, wooden spear posed over his head, stiffining of his limbs and the stilling of his tail indicating he had found a target. Xiscapians were natural hunters, and Sio was exibiting all the signs of a stalking Xiscapian. He waited...waited...
There!
The spear swiftly plunged downward and came out with a struggling, wriggling fish stuck halfway up it. Sio grinned and began walking back to camp, motioning to Edward to follow. "What did you want to talk to me about?" he asked, yellow eyes focused on the squirming creature on the end of his stick.

Edward lightly shook his " Nothing....forget it." he walked with Sio back to the camp. He sat down under a tree, leaning his back against it, his eyes bringing up to the fire, staring at its dancing sparks, its black smoke purged the sky.
