ooc dropship not going to be use get back to the other post an you see , oh dose Firna want to see Void ?

IISA:

OOC She does, if it doesn't mean she can't go back. For sure she isn't interested in becoming suicidal because of being away too long. (and no, the fact the Fir!nans could add an instinct to hybrids that binds them to Fir!n doesn't contradict what I said about AIs and souls and such. Having certain needs because one is a member of a certain species is not a restriction of free will)

IC

"Tell me, Wolf, now I know your dimension (*giggle*) in one sense, would you also be willing to show me your home? Only if it is possible for me to go back, of course."

ooc Neo Kirisubo Yuko free to go home with the twins any time to see her mother and father as long as she give the Navy the head up that she need a ship to take her
"Tell me, Wolf, now I know your dimension (*giggle*) in one sense, would you also be willing to show me your home? Only if it is possible for me to go back, of course."
IC

'"so you want to see the Void mm what are your poeple going to ay about this trip" Wolf as as a white light flashed

"some of your clothes girls" Wolf added as he point to a bag now next to him where he stood

"I'm no scientist, so I have no arguement for that point. I will, however, say that I do believe in souls but do not believe the soul and emotions are tied together. The creatures I've seen in my life have taught me this much, but that's just me."

IISA:

"Nothing they don't already say about me. But maybe you don't want to give them reason to say similar things about you..."
Firna sat on the side of the bed, and looked away from the others. "They call me a slut."

---

Greywatch:

"I don't understand" said Aniska. "Have you met creatures with souls but no emotions, or without souls but with emotions? How could you tell they did or did not have souls?"

"The latter, rare but it happens. And the former, some demons are the perfect example." Rose shook her head, "The former are many of the Twilight demons, ancient race and hated enemy of the Leanorians. Isn't it wonderful that Twilight demons happen to be the grandfathers of the Leanorian?" Her voice was dripping with sarcasm, "Yes, I evolved from a creature that itself evolved from demons. Amazing, is it not? Either way, many of them know nothing but rage and anger but I've found demons that have no emotions at all. As for souls, we Leanorian have items which allow us to see such things. As for the latter, those would be Greywatch's Drones. An emotionless and souless creature made through means only the fallen gods would know. However, I've seen a select few Drones learn emotion... and when I say learn, I mean they actually develop feelings. More than imitation, but going from using people as tools on the battlefield to taking a shot for you because they like you." Rose shrugged, "I suppose in the end there's no test to see if Drones are actually feeling anything or if it's not just a ruse but I'd like to imagine the former actually happens. And I suppose there's no real test for seeing if demons suppress their emotions, but I honestly can't imagine why they would when most of them say their rage makes them strong."

Greywatch (+Kewen):

"I think we might be using the word 'soul' for different things. Even within TFP it has a few different meanings, for example one could say only sentient beings have souls, and another could say everything, even rocks, has soul, and they could still be in agreement with each other."
Aniska lifted Sanka, who did not wake up. "I think we're boring someone." Aniska smiled. "We need to leave the ship for a moment, so Harmony can double the pressure to check if it's airtight."

"Nothing they don't already say about me. But maybe you don't want to give them reason to say similar things about you..."
Firna sat on the side of the bed, and looked away from the others. "They call me a slut."

"that just not very nice thing to say"said Malicia as the girls change into their own things

"they can say all what they want it mean nothing" Wolf said as he turn to face Firna
"well you want to see the Void you better get what you need done" he added

IISA:

"Alright, I'll be back in a bit."

Firna first stopped by Natalia's home, and gave her the disk with information about replicators. "Here are some very interesting video files of you and the three empresses" she joked. The shocked look on Natalia's face told Firna she had guessed right about what had happened. "Ha! I knew it. They're designs for a replicator, actually." She winked and ran off.

Next, she went home to fetch some things she would probably need, then returned to the room.

"...aaand I'm back."

"I've heard the belief that objects have 'spirits' such as he spirit of a river, but I've not heard of object having souls. Interesting belief, though."

"Alright, I'll be back in a bit."

"huh" Wolf said just before Firna find they were beam to the main level of the Control (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t69/zxc_047/Imperial%20MT%20rifle/warshipsmainleveloftheControlBridge.jpg)Bridge

"those are Pilot (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t69/zxc_047/Imperial%20MT%20rifle/PilotandCo-PilotChair.jpg)and Co-Pilot Chairs in front of the Command (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t69/zxc_047/Imperial%20MT%20rifle/CommandChair.jpg)Chair "said Wolf as the clone went about their work

"base,then home"orders Wolf
"sir"said a clone as the ships start to move as the clone moved the joystick,before the ships warp drive kicked in an the ship phase into the warp

ooc: TFP, your missing my point, im looking for an excuse to mount some keweny goodness, specifically a device akin to a distress signal, so i can do a fly by >.> <.< but meh, my usefulness has ended nice RPing with ya folks Cya!.

Kewen:

OOC So offer to give that device. J & A are quite tough after a few years of "catch your own food and keep yourself safe without any help" type missions. Asking for help just isn't something they're used to doing except when they're almost dead.

---

Greywatch:

"Depending on the context and the belief system, spirit and soul may mean the same thing."
Harmony sent a message to Aniska's WMDA: "There don't seem to be any leaks, I'll change the pressure back to normal."

---

IISA:

"Huh? How did I get here? Have I been unconscious?"

"Perhaps," said Rose, "But then why are they two different words? I believe people take them as being interchangeable but that in actuality they have seperate meanings."

Greywatch:

"Both have many meanings, and there is a large overlap between the two sets of meanings. When we say 'spirit', we usually mean something like a deity, but not necessarily as powerful."

"I don't disagree with that, my only point is that similar does not mean same. I believe the difference is that the soul is simply one's essence while the spirit is essence with sentience. The two may be tied but I believe one should be careful in interchanging them. But that isn't too important at this point, what I want to know more about is this ship."

"Huh? How did I get here? Have I been unconscious?"

"nope that was Teleportation ,wait till you feel time stop when we ghost back home" Malicia say to her

"As with all technologies, it does have its downsides, though. One issue would be that with inertial compensators enabled at full, a pilot has no idea how the craft is performing. Most pilots actually have it turned down a bit. There has also been an interesting interaction between it and the artificial gravity systems on our craft, although I believe that has been resolved."

Greywatch:

"If you look at it that way, it's not odd at all to say everything has soul" replied Aniska. "Everything has an essence. What shall I tell you about the ship? The hull belonged to a luxury ship, meant for transporting important beings. The engine is from a freighter, which is much heavier in normal use than this ship is. The combination should be slightly faster than the current fastest TFP ships are, but would also consume a lot more power when traveling at top speed. New ships have only a very basic AI, not a sentient one like Harmony. Those are not uncommon, though. We have a lot of time on our hands while traveling... Harmony was created and trained by me. Well actually Elegy was, Harmony is a copy. The cloaking material is the same you have seen my Fir!nan mother use. That's about all there is to say about the ship right now, we haven't decided yet what it will look like on the inside.

IISA:

"Oh. I sure am getting my interesting new experiences." Firna looked around, and noticed a screen displaying Fir!n below them (ooc or maybe a window, IDC). She sighed. "That planet is my home. So beautiful..."

---

AF:

"Sounds like our engines could solve a lot of problems for you. Is there anything you would like to do while we wait for the right time for you to contact home?"

"Oh. I sure am getting my interesting new experiences." Firna looked around, and noticed a screen displaying Fir!n below them (ooc or maybe a window, IDC). She sighed. "That planet is my home. So beautiful..."

ooc be a screen as the ship jumped and you would not see any thing out the front windows

"but has things that turn deadly if you up set"said Malicia as as Wolf was busy talking with a clone

"yur play that song" said Wolf as the clone hit a key make a song (http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=Wmr8D3JBsvg) be played over the ships in internalcom speakers

"grils take her to the arcade area use the tube"

OOC i got to get my links to show level two and three

IISA:

Firna shrugged. "I'm sure your home must have automated defense systems as well. Those of the Fir!nans are creatures instead of machines, and so they can't be switched off, but apart from that difference it's the same. ... Hey, nice song."

Firna shrugged. "I'm sure your home must have automated defense systems as well. Those of the Fir!nans are creatures instead of machines, and so they can't be switched off, but apart from that difference it's the same. ... Hey, nice song."

"they like to play music while they work, this is the second level (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t69/zxc_047/Imperial%20MT%20rifle/warshipscontrolbridgeleveltwo.jpg)" said Jandice as she leads Firna down some stairs then lead her another set

" an this is the third (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t69/zxc_047/Imperial%20MT%20rifle/warshipscontrolbridgelevelthree.jpg)level" said Illucia as they go to a lift which they take down another level where the door open to a Corridor (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t69/zxc_047/Imperial%20MT%20rifle/WarshipsCorridor.jpg)

"the outside of the navy ships look gothic but inside don't" Malicia say as they step out
"the staion this way" she added as she take's point

IISA:

"I expected a ship of this size to have more light inside."

IISA:

"I expected a ship of this size to have more light inside."

"clones can see in the dark better then humans as their DNA make up has werewolf and vampire in it" said Illucia as they step inside a small train

"Ah yes, I did speak to someone about trade and they were telling me about how your race is looking for FTL drives. Have you got any ideas for what you want the inside to look like? I imagine choosing something that's just right is very difficult." Rose looked over the outside of the ship, interesting design.

IISA:

Firna remembered something vampirism and werewolf-ism (ooc wth do you call that in English?) being spread through bites, but she thought it would be better not to ask as it would imply comparing her hosts to a disease.

---

Greywatch:

"So do you like the outside? It doesn't have any remarkable features like we've seen on many foreign ships because it's easier to apply the armor/cloaking to a smooth surface. On the inside, I guess we'll add a few extra screens. People are looking for Sanka, so it's a good idea to have a good view on the sensor data so we will see them before they see us. It needs more storage space for food than it has now, too. Getting the functional aspect of the interior right is not too difficult, but making it look nice will require some thought."

"The outside doens't look all that bad, I imagine whatever helps cloak is for the best. How exactly do you store things anyway? I know in Greywatch, we are able to store large objects in very small spaces using some technology I've never really understood. I suppose a decent paint job and maybe a few pictures oculd make the ship really feel like home, so to speak."

Firna remembered something vampirism and werewolf-ism (ooc wth do you call that in English?) being spread through bites, but she thought it would be better not to ask as it would imply comparing her hosts to a disease.

an there three ways of ending as a werewolf,either purposely, being bitten by another werewolf or after being placed under a curse
IC

the three girls lead her down another another corridor once the train stop to a big room
"right we have pool tables, dart boards, arcade games, food and drink vending machines and a bar" Jandice say as Illucia and Malicia go over to a game

Greywatch:

Aniska grinned. "We store things by putting a door in front of them. We don't have any special technology for that."

IISA:

"I guess you don't easily get bored here. Wanna play pool?"

"Ah, I see. I ask because," Rose waved her hand and two suitcases appeared by her, "I wondered if you possessed anything like this. This is how Greywatch stores things on ships." She pointed to a small silvery bracelet she wore, "Greywatch storage bracelets like this one are used by people to carry large amounts of matter effortlessly."

"I guess you don't easily get bored here. Wanna play pool?"

"love to play pool with you" answers Jandice as set up the balls

Greywatch:

Aniska's mouth dropped open. She couldn't help touching one of the suitcases to see if it was real. "No, we definitely don't have anything like that. How on Fir!n does that work?"

---

IISA:

"I like the symbolism of this game. You begin."

"Honestly I have no idea, you might have to ask a Xarniosi. They created a lot of Greywatch's more... interesting technology. All I know is that this is how we store and carry stuff with us. It makes life much easier."

"I like the symbolism of this game. You begin."

Jandice take her shot and sinks a ball
"look like you on colors and i'am on stripes" Jandice say lining up her next shot

Greywatch:

"I'm sure it does. If we had something like that, our second level diplomats wouldn't need to find their own food, we would have a lot more space on the yachts, and the freighters could carry a lot more. Greywatch must be a very successful nation."

---

IISA:

"Nice. It's quite impressive the artificial gravity of the ship is so stable one can play pool."

"Nice. It's quite impressive the artificial gravity of the ship is so stable one can play pool."

"yes"Jandice answer missing her shot as the lights turn red
"what the"say Malicia

IISA:

"I guess that's not supposed to happen? ... Would you like to try again, or is it my turn now?"

"I guess that's not supposed to happen? ... Would you like to try again, or is it my turn now?"

"it's no one turn something up other wise the light would not be red"answer Jandice as blast doors close and Malicia gets hold of Wolf on her phone

"Wolf say they fring the ship warp-cannon at ork ships" Malicia said once she was off the phone

"ork ships at the base we going to"asked Illucia

"no we not at the base yet ,but the orks happen to be here when we drop out of the warp"

Rose smiled, "Only because all the races of Greywatch are able to work as one. As long as everyone else takes care of each other, Greywatch maintains efficiently."

IISA:

"I figured it would be something we couldn't do anything about, so we might just as well continue playing. But if you don't want to, that's fine."

OOC Fear? What's that?

---

Greywatch:

"Apart from the humans, do all these races originate from the same planet?"

"I figured it would be something we couldn't do anything about, so we might just as well continue playing. But if you don't want to, that's fine."

"you may as well keep playing sis after all the orks ships are nothing but scrap metal an have no weapons that can hit us this range"said Illucia going back to playing the game she and Malicia were playing cooperate together on

"ok may as well take your shot Firna "said Jandice before the deep howl of the warp-cannon bring fired

"No, not at all. Humans are from one world, the Kiixori exist in the same system as the humans but a different planet. The Leanorians exist in a completely diiferent system from the other races. The Xarniosi also have their own system. Greywatch itself incorporates about 3-5 systems at this point, or so I imagine. And we also have abuot 20 or so planets under our control due to our expansionist nature. The humans really started it all, though, siply through their appetite for exploration. The Kiixori go through many civil wars and never focused too heavily on space, the Xarniosi are very isolationist and never wanted to see what was out there, and my race is not very technologically developed. The humans explored, found all the different races and over time created the alliance known as the Empire of Greywatch. Though the 'empire' part is really just to sound good, we're really more of a large alliance than anything else, at least in my eyes."

"What kinds of activities do you engage in on this planet? Usually, I would be interested in the native species of plants and animals of a planet, but then I heard something about them being toxic?"

IISA:

The ball that Firna tried to sink bounced back and forth in front of the pocket, but did not fall in.
"What's with these orks? Why don't they like you?"

---

Greywatch:

"Interesting creatures aren't they, humans? They're exactly the same everywhere and yet their histories do not match. There must be a lot of planets named Earth, our human ancestors left their version of it 350 years ago, without FTL. And yet we have met lots of humans who have been exploring space with FTL for thousands of years, who claim to be from the same planet!"

---

AF:

"Toxic, violent, just plain nasty... But as long as you don't touch or annoy anything, not much will happen to you. With the right clothing and a hybrid guide you'll be fine. They're poison resistant and stronger than us. If you like, I'll see if anyone is available. We do have some very interesting things out there."

The ball that Firna tried to sink bounced back and forth in front of the pocket, but did not fall in.
"What's with these orks? Why don't they like you?"

"they seen by their enemies ,everyone else and sometimes each other as savage, warlike and crude race"said Jandice

"an i think we have been attacked many time's by them before" she added taking her turn

Rose sighed, "Tell me about it. I've heard so much about humans all coming from earth, and they all use the same name. I always wonder how they all managed that. Of course, our humans are somewhat different, being the decendants of demons and whatnot, like myself."

OOC Looky, I made a script for fir!nan!eqe that isn't ambiguous like the latin notation is. Decoding my avatar:

modifier 1: !n!nqe = place-place-move = many places move = freedom
modifier 2: !ean = concept-person = deity
base (vertical): anan = person-person = many persons

combined, that's "many free deity-persons" = "free priesthood" :)

---

IISA:

"So they must be quite stupid, too. How in space did they manage to develop the technology needed to leave their planet?"

---

Greywatch:

"I wonder if there are equivalents of Fir!nans anywhere. The Xarniosi sound a bit like them..."

"I really doubt the Xarniosi are anything like your Fir!nans besides the high tech levels and isolationist attitude. The Xarniosi are more of a special case, compared to the other races in Greywatch."

ooc Cool
"So they must be quite stupid, too. How in space did they manage to develop the technology needed to leave their planet?"

"yes and no an no one knows who they did it" said Jandice as Wolf walks in
"it over"asked Malicia as Wolf takes a seat that the bar

"yup"answer Wolf

Greywatch:

"What do you mean by them being a special case?"

Meanwhile, Harmony shed its/her armor layer. Jonathan and the others started removing the paint that was below it. Aniska gently shook Sanka: "Wake up, lazy one, you need to pick a color for your ship."

---

IISA:

"If it's that easy, it's surprising there are any of them left, too. I guess they breed quickly?"

"The Xarniosi are not a fully biological race. Some time ago, time that is not recorded, the Xarniosi are believed to have been human but they experimented with cybernetic upgrades for their bodies. These same upgrades changed them in unimagineable ways. Today, they exist as a hybrid... they can no longer reproduce in a normal matter. When they start their lives, they are very similar to humans, but as they go on living, nanites in their bodies pull minerals from the veyr ground they walk on. These nanites work in their bodies none stop, 'upgrading' the host by using said absorded minierals to construct mechanical limbs and organs. The result is that the Xarniosi actually change from organics to machines during the very course of their lives; eventually, the cybernetics and mechanical properties of their own bodies end up killing them. The typical Xarnisoi looks human but with heavily modified body parts. If I had a hologram of one, I'd show you."

"If it's that easy, it's surprising there are any of them left, too. I guess they breed quickly?"
"Orks reproduce through the release of spores, which grow into a plant-like womb underground that nourishes the bodies of the various Orkoid species" Wolf said as a Clone walks up to him

"we ghosting in a minute so set youself for time stopping"

Greywatch:

Sanka said "seagreen", then continued sleeping.

"I think someone isn't tired, but simply doesn't feel like standing on her own legs... Gosh that's one way one shouldn't use nanotechnology."

OOC Apart from the ship getting finished nothing is going to happen here, cause I have no idea what special events could happen.

---

IISA:

"Through spores? They must be really bored then. That might explain the aggression."

"Indeed, it's scary how technology can turn on you. Now the Xarniosi are trying to reverse the process, so far they've managed to slow the process but not stop it. That's where humans and Leanorians come into the picture. They require outside assistance in this project of theirs..."
OOC: Meh

"Through spores? They must be really bored then. That might explain the aggression."

"may be" Wolf said as he got up and walks over to her
"you going to need one of these,so put it on now before we enter the void" Wolf say as he hand her a necklace (http://i157.photobucket.com/albums/t69/zxc_047/Imperial%20MT%20rifle/WolfsFamilyCrestandWolfsVoidSeal.jpg) with a seal on it

Greywatch:

"The more technologically advanced need assistance from he less advanced to undo their technology? There's some irony in there somewhere."

OOC we can continue the chatter, or fast forward to the launch of the ship...

---

IISA:

Firna put on the necklace, and winked. "Thank you. Now my adventure really begins..."

"Technology is a dangerous thing if you're not careful. As for getting outside help from the less technologically advanced... sometimes the good ideas come from people who fully understand what's going on. Rose smiled and shrugged, "Plus, the Xarniosi are apart of Greywatch, it's our duty to help our allies."
OOC: Whatever suits you

Firna put on the necklace, and winked. "Thank you. Now my adventure really begins..."

Wolf nod his head then time stop for sometime before returning

'you now in the void' Wolf say then turns to drink from a bottle he had sitting on the bar

Greywatch:

"Yes, that's more or less the point of being allies. I hope one day all benevolent beings will be allies. ... How organized are those demons?"

OOC: We can continue this as long as it's interesting, since that launch would just be a few sentences and then the thread would be pretty much over.

---

IISA:

"Huh I wouldn't have known if you hadn't told me. What kind of place are we going to now?"

"Huh I wouldn't have known if you hadn't told me. What kind of place are we going to now?"

"back to Ra,back to Home"answer Wolf as he got up an faces her

"you may as wel get some sleep,while i stay up an work" he added

OOC

OOC: I just let you all know I started that thread, not exactly asking you to do anything in it. It was just a random idea that made me laugh, so I posted it. TBH I have no idea how it will continue, unless someone who hates telepaths randomly shows up. So it's probably going to be a very short thread.
I suppose there will be something about those whales that a telepath-kid would find interesting... I'll think of something.

"follow me then i'll show you to a room you can slepp in"said Wolf picking up his gear

Rose thought for a moment, "Gateways to hell begin erecting themselves in the most hard-to-reach areas or the most obscure areas, demons pour out en masse. They have big weapons and bad attitudes. That pretty much sums it all up."

IISA:

OOC a new thread for the visit to the void is a good idea

IC

"OK"
When they arrived at the room: "This looks nice."

Greywatch:

"Sounds awful, and yet fascinating. Is this 'hell' another dimension, or what is it?"

"Not actually sure, I'd assume a different plane of some sort. I do believe its known as the Twilight Realm. There are only a few people who have been to that place and then returned.... but they are often changed drastically during their stay in that place."

ooc I don't know how to start that thread, as I don't know anything about the void.

ooc well she still on the ship just carry on from that point

Rose shrugged, "Well, that's the story of Greywatch. We live in a place where hell actually tries to invade us every now and then. But we deal with it, I suppose one gets used to such things after a while. Ironic that we Leanorian evolved from demons only to become the exact Cryptic opposite of them, and their greatest enemy."

IISA:

Greywatch:

"Evolution has made weirder things happen. And it's good you're there to keep hell away from everyone else."

"That would be appreciated. We do have two sets of powered all-environmental suits available onboard our ship - they're completely sealed, and even come with optional oxygen tanks in case of issues. By the way, would you mind if Commodore Traken and his two escorts come along as well? I believe their armor is also fully sealed."

Rose shrugged, "I suppose so... I do hope that our world is the only one they can open up gateways to. Speaking of which, what things have you seen evolution create?"

AF:

"I got a better idea. We could use one of the hoverships, then you won't need any type of armor, and you won't have to walk either."

---

Greywatch:

"I don't know where to start. The universe is full of strange creatures. There are lots of carnivores that eat herbivores that are closely related to them, so I don't think it's very odd the enemies of demons would evolve from demons. What I said about humans and their earths earlier... now that is really odd."

"Well at least demons and Leanorians don't eat each other..." Rose gave a slight smile, "But the whole earth thing is something I can agree with you about. I guess we'll never know all that's out there unless we look."

OOC "de-om-nom-noms" ;)

"I imagine they would be difficult to cook" said Aniska. "And to look is what we plan to use this ship for."

OOC: I walked into that...
IC:

"Well, I do hope you find something, or many things, interesting out there. I know you'll be safe, what with that cloaking system you have."

Aniska smiled. "I'll make sure to tell you all about it."

"Well, that necklace I gave you will allow you to do that whenever you like." Rose said with a smile.

OOC: Aaaand I've run out of things to talk about so I suppose goodbyes should be said in our next posts?

Aniska nodded. "If you don't mind, I still have a lot of things to do today..." She gave Rose a last hug. "We'll meet again. ... hey, Jonathan, over here for a moment please!"

Rose returned the hug, "Yes, I understand. I'm sure we'll be able to see each other again, someday. And you'll always be able to talk to me."

"That's probably a better idea -- assuming the plants haven't developed anti-aircraft abilities. I'm kidding, of course."

Greywatch:

Jonathan shook her hand. "It was nice to meet you."
"Be safe, Rose" said Sanka.

AF:

"You'd be surprised."
Sen had a quick IM conversation with someone through her WMDA. "This way, please."

A bit later...

Sen asked the pilot of the hovership to stop next to something that looked like a large tree. The "branches" bent towards the ship, and eyes opened at their ends. Sen climbed into a branch/tentacle that got close enough to her. "This is a tir. Most of the creature is underground, just the head is visible. This one is bigger than most of them. As long as they're not 'activated', they're the least dangerous creatures we have. Their name is part of many bad words in fir!nan!eqe, because they're not exactly pretty... Not really fair though."
She scratched the bark-like skin of the tir, which it seemed to like.

Rose looked to Jonathan, shaking his hand, "It was nice meeting you too." She then looked to Sanka, "I will, you do the same." Rose gave a last smile before leaving the group to their work.
