Masters of Andromeda (The Exodus)

[Fluffie]

In a way, I once 'lost' everything I had too (referring to the destruction of my Concordats (oh, and House Prime too ).. I rebuilt too, with help of a close friend I guess.

Oh well.. Stop whipping me now, I'm running out of skin

[Lady Hawk]

on baord the small Police Cruiser - Shorty One

the bridge is empty save for one man - he is tall about 6ft and has blueish skin - It is K, the Arch enemu of the KIPIRE and Dark Fluffie......

He approaches a large Asteroid field some 300 light years away rom ERRIDANNI space. the small vessel manouvers thru the asteroids in a very nippy way.

the pilot/helm seems to very good at what he/she/it does.

soon the vessel appears in the middle of the Asteroid field there is a gap approx 1/2 light year across and in the middle is a structure that is approx 1/4 of a light year long. It appears to be a super space station or city made up of thousands of thousands of ships or smaller space stations all interlinked.

K looks at the Vast structure and smiles

At last i have found them, my old allies and true to their word they completed the facility.....

Now I shall awaken them


K then transmits a series of TETRIONIC Pulses.

The station springs to life lights appear all over the station and ships that were stationery begin to move.

.....zzztttttttzzzzzzzzzz.....crackle......zttttz.....bbbtttzzzz ...elcome K we have been expecting you.

THE ALYSSIANS WELCOME YOU

ALL IS READY

K - Muwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[flapjack]

*flapjack looks at the new arrival and recognises him as Hewitt, from the pictures he found in the database of his father's old ship*

'welcome mister Hewitt, i presume you didn't call us for no reason and won't scold me for suggesting my ship supervises the operation ?'

[Hewitt]

ooc: I suggest you wait until I actually enter the bar flapjack? At present I am somewhat part of the way there...

And no I won't scold you but I won't allow it either. My intentions are to get a general co-operation happening but all captains remain independantly in control of their own ships as it should be.

[flapjack]

'hmm, perhaps you are mistaken supervision for command, the point is that from my ship i can closely monitor the movements of our ships and any enemy ships and thus come with much more efficient attack patterns then each individual captain could, the point would be that this would allow much better coordination of the fleet and make it as a whole much more effective in combat'

'now i wonder when captain Zappa is going to arrive so we can discuss the actaul tactics, because with what i've seen of his ship he'll have to stay back untill that phased reflex cannon of his finishes charging'

[Hewitt]

Are you thick or just blind?

[[IV-CL]Zappa]

plain stupid.

[flapjack]

non of the three, but since you are sticking out a hand to c'sandra and c'sandra is well within the bar and on the other side of the table from me you must be inside the bar, or have an extremely long hand

[AcidK]

Cid: Are we there yet, Commander?

No.1: Nearly, sir...

Cid: *sigh*, this could be a long journey...

Comms: Captain, we've just got words that your father's destroyer is joining our ranks... they'll rendezvous at our location... but first they need our co-ordinates. You orders, sir?

Cid: The Jurinis Grut? Shouldn't they be protecting my father's Trade Empire? Where's my father?

Comms: The Admiral is not onboard, sir... And the crew are denying all knowledge. Commander Kosaga is not on board either...

Cid: ... Say that again... Kosaga's ALWAYS on board, he's the guy in charge of that ship for crying out loud!

Comms: They've appointed someone else to take the ship, a Ms. Hilen...

*Cid sighes and placed his hands over his eyes, rubbing the edge of his nose as if carefully thinking.*

Cid: This is getting from bad to worse... Very well, tell them our destination, we will rendezvous with them there... Until then, prepare the scanners... if we find what we came to collect, then we must prepare for a bit of mining.

C'sandra growled at Flapjack slightly. C'sandra was a tall woman, verry abnormaly so. However, she carried herself like she was much lower. Slightly peved at flapjack trying to run the operation, and slightly more peved at MS. Tenderleafes whos ship is bigger arguement with the former (I know it was ooc, but work with me) Riseing and standing strait up, C'sandra looked even taller and more imposing than before. She coughed.

"Look, you two can go blow yourselfs to hell if you like. As for me, I have a mission to finish. And if you two blow yourself to the afterlife on the way there, I'll do it alone."

Grumbling slightly and shrinking back down, she walked off, chattering into her comm.

"No.1. Get the prospector refitted with a Impulse drive, and take the ship out to some uncliamed asteroid belt. For all the damnable flashy stuff on this station, their isn't a cartography or a prospecting claims office. So we'll just take what we need."

Sumary: C'sandra headed to her main ship to oversee the free fuel being loaded. She also has purhcased a impulse drive for her carrier/prospector, and 500 tonns of fuel from the station at whatever price. While she heads to the mission, her prospector is going to find an unclaimed or empty system and dig up some roids.

ooc: Since you seem incapable of reading text correctly flapjack, I have highlighted the parts you should take note of, namely those parts that imply the action of leaving a room...

You now have several minutes to take in this information and come to understanding with it.

[flapjack]

hmm

*flapjack rereads the text just to be absolutely sure*

okay, perhaps i was wrong

*flapjack does a bit apologizing*

*flapjack sits down and sees if anybody else is gonna arrive, while over the comms telling his 2ic to ready the ship and alert him if anybody for mission 5 leaves (aka c'sandra, hewitt or zappa)*

[Inspectre]

Well, since I see a rather large lynch mob forming, I think I'll deliver a few parting shots before running for my life.

I actually helping LH with two alien races. I designed a new enemy for her, and I gave her the perfect opportunity to introduce the Chrono Borg, which apparently she was planning to include all along, but wasn't sure how to do it.

I also wrote a post that nearly was 6,000 words long, which took me several days. While I don't think that was the cause for the reward, and certainly does make for a good excuse no?

As LH also said, I've lost pretty much everything. This was my own idea, as since I was using a returning character from Rommy, I thought it was necessary to make sure my character started from Square One again, as everyone else was doing. A side-effect of this is that while the majority of the other veteran RPers can run crying back to Mommy and Daddy if they get their arse kicked, I cannot. I simply have to run my arse off, trying to escape from whatever horror is chasing after me now.

Yes, but I lost everything, and don't have a friend to help me at the moment. Plus, you're not starting this thread with nothing, you have the entire KIPIRE backing you up.



In conclusion, allow me to add that I at no time asked for a reward, nor was that my intention for writing the post, creating the new race, or destroying my own House, small as it was.

Now I return you to your regularly scheduled program.

You can comm the KIPIRE too y'know, we're usually friendly.

I don't have a kill list at the moment, merely several continue to wind up and mock targets


When Adam says 150 fusion bombs he's refering to the ammo, 30 fusion bombs per launcher, means he is using 5 external mounts for fusion bomb deployment purposes

[Fluffie]

Having a kill ist is only healthy, some friendly competion etc.

Teehee

[Terra Australis]

OOC Assuming that my Frigates were approved with there fighter compliments and all checked out?????

Character History

Coming from a Dubious background no one knows my real name, to the Crew i am just known as Terra...... as for the Australis bit, that was just tagged on because of my original family Origin from the Ancient world of Earth, a nation known as Australia....

But that was along time ago that my ancestors decided to leave the Nation of Australia, and indeed Earth when overpopulation and Global polution became an issue.....

The Last vestiges of hummanity were living in vast arcologies that did not offer a chance of a good job, and had there own social problems.

The freedom of space to make a new start and a name for oneself became too tempting so the ancestors of mine sold up all there assets and left Earth for good.

Mars was becoming a stage two colony at this stage with terraforming moving along well, and massive amounts of people moving to mars, it was decided by my ancestors that Mars would eventually have the same problems as Earth, so it was decided that the Gas Mining stations obitting Jupiter would be the place to head to, the work would be hard, but the money more than made up for itself as a reward.

Eventually my Ancestors would be able to buy a ship of there own and begin mining operations......

Although seems so long ago, and the records are incomplete regarding my family history, as the history has been downloaded from one ships computer into another, bits have been added, deleted, other files have become corrupted due to the massive downloading and duplication of data....

Now to the present time....

Preparations have begun in Earnest for the escort missions that is to be undertaken for the science ships....

Supplies are being loaded for the ships, and the remaining crystals have been loaded into ships for fuel supplies.

All that needs to be completed is a meeting to be scheduled with the scientists for how long the ships need to survey the system for..... and any hostiles that may be encountered....

[[IV-CL]Zappa]

Helm: set a course for that anomaly. we're leaving. max speed with wich we won't need to refuel.

Fluffie shrugs and excuses himself, leaving his No1 in command to keep near Kama's ships for the time being.

Not much later, he's in his own personal holo-world again, having ripped memories from earlier that day to relive spilling hot 'n' boilin' coffee in kama's lap..

again..

and again..

and again...

and again...

[flapjack]

*flapjack is alerted to the leaving of zappa, by his watchfull 2IC*

*flapjack tells his 2IC to comm to everyone that zappa is leaving and to start the undocking procedures*

*flapjack while saying this had gotten up and was now heading for his ship, the moment he entered the docking ports closed and the boarding tube retracted, locking the airlock behind him*

*through the comms flapjack told his 2IC to take the ship out of dock and prepare to give chase to zappa, the moment the others are in position to follow*

*by the time flapjack arrives at the bridge of his ship, his other 2 ships have moved into position and they are waiting for the other people coming on this mission while the linear drive charges to full power*

ooc/zappa, aren't you slightly missing an FTL drive ?? because unless impulse or fusion drives have suddenly become FTL, i don't see 1 on your ship/ooc

[[IV-CL]Zappa]

flapjack, stfu. I'm using B5type jumppoints. and don't follow me ffs! I work alone, or should I say: I DON'T work with you[/ooc]

EO: Sir!

yes?

EO: sir, we've picked up a moron following us.

Helm - turn us about

WO - Charge weapons!

EO - scan that stupid arsehole

[ooc]and if you dare, even once, give comments about someone else's ship again, I'll grind your arse in every thread I see you post in, for the rest of your online life[/ooc]

[Bakan]

*Going over the various systems on his ship, for this extended FTL flight was serving as a good method to work out some of the knicks in the power system, Bakan looks over the records of the other captains going on this mission also. Thinking over the options, Bakan finally stands up and makes his way to his communications officer.*

"Open up a channel to the other ships assigned to the same mission we are, see if they are interested in allying themselves into 1 task force, or at the very least a constant exchange of data and tatics."

*Bakan then makes his way off the bridge, headings towards the infantry and marine barrecks, with a crazy idea of in-flight training of the two teams in each others tatics, making 1 breed of soldier that incorporated the best of both divisions.*

[Lady Hawk]

No1 - He is not worth it sir

EO - you have full power

No1 - he has to run out of the bar and ensure that all his crews are ready and then his ships have to go thru the preflight checks. then he has to undock his ships and prepare his ships and astrogate the way.

We have the edge sir....

If he crosses us at the WORMHOLE thats a differnt story

Also the KIPIRE ships and the ANKAA space station will open up on us if we target him

He is just scum.

Lets wait till we get to the Nexus sir

Most of the bridge crew look at you

Hrlm - course laid in sir

SO - Jump point set

Your ship enters the Jump Ppoint and then you set a series of courses thru HYPERSPACE. Flapjack will not be able to follow you

SO - Hyper Cloak on line sir

EO - full power sir

You are now on course for the Worm hole

Hmmm as hewitt would say - YES I have read all the posts

You are sat in the Bar with C'sandra and Hewitt as you wait for them to enter/or give a view as to what they want to do

Then your No1 sends you a message that Capt Zappa has left the station of ANKAA and has entered Jump Space.

No1 waits for your orders

No1 - So none of teh missions then sir?

Comms - signal from your father sir the Janis Grut is joining us.

you give your orders

Helm - on course sir

SO - sir we are picking up Kylthium Scans some 2 light years from our location sir

EO - we have enough fuel for that jump sir

SO - scans indicate it is a rogue planetoid that is drifting thru Shraan Space sir

No1 - a rogue planet

SO - scans indicate a possible DEMON CLASS planet sir

[Lady Hawk]

No1 - Captain on the bridge

you walk onto the bridge of the brand new ship, you can still smell the fresh paint

All the bridge crew stand and salute you

No1 - welcome captain - we got your commuiniqa and we hd te privalage of contatcing the KIPIRE ANKAA SURVEY/EXPLORATION COMMAND who have given us the location of a number of unclaimed Asteroid fields in KIPIRE Space that we can lay claim to.

One such field lies 2 light years from here and the ship has been sent.

FC - yes sir the ship is on its way

No1 hands you a datapad with the info on it

No1 - I take it your meeting with the other captains was fruitful?

EO - you have full power sir

Helm - docking clamps released sir

SO - ships scanners ok

Hrlm - course sir?

[AcidK]

*Cid looked up, then stood up and walked over to the scanners.*

Cid: Bring up a map of the area. I want full scans of the demon planet.

*Cid watched as a map appeared. He pulled out an illuminous marker and walked over to the map.*

Cid: Right, this is what we are going to do. Both the Hope and the Grut are to split up, the Grut will take the Devestator, the Hope will fly alone for a while. The Grut and the Devestator will circle around and exit in front of the planet, baring what path it may have. The Hope will take a head-on warp to appear here, a little way off from the Grut and close enough to find out if that planet is what I think it is.

No1: And that would be...

*Cid looked at his Number One in mild amusement. Aparently this number one has more experience than him, but he could tell now that he lacked in general knowledge.*

Cid: If it is what I beleive it is... then really I should never take it on... but since it is in Shraan Space I will not let it deter us from collecting Kylthium nor defending our homelands.

It seems I've got some catching up to do. :eek: I'll try to post tonight.
I will also have another look at my ship, because I don't think it's properly equiped for my current mission.

The Engineers in the Ankaa ship yards groan as yet another change in orders comes from TA.



Some time later

You make your way to the Office and sign up for Mission 3 - it is accepted straight away, you look with amusement as all the other capts sign for more dangerous missions.

You are the only Capt with the mission all the spoils will be yours

No1 - well sir looks like the 4 ships (please name them) are nearly ready sir.

Although the other Capts seem to have taken some of the best crews I have managed to get some good crews sir.

She hands you the Data Pad

Some time later....

you look at the pride of your recent money 4 BRAND new HAWK class Advanced War Frigates.

No1 - you look a bit aghast sir - they are fine ships are they not?

All 4 are waiting in the shipyards all of them look the same

a shuttle waits to take you to the ships

[Lady Hawk]

You are on your wau to the bat when you bump into c'sandra one of the Captains who has signed on for the same mission.

you awaitr the outcome of what happens between 3 of you as Capt Zappa has made his way on his own

No1 - foolish sir very foolish perhaps we should join forces with the other 2 capatins as the mission we have taken has a very high danger rating

EO - the ship is ready sir

[Lady Hawk]

at last the work is done and like your father and mother before you. you now have your own FEDERATION vessel.

No1 - Captain on the Bridge

all the bridge crew salute you crisply

[[IV-CL]Zappa]

No1 - He is not worth it sir

EO - you have full power

No1 - he has to run out of the bar and ensure that all his crews are ready and then his ships have to go thru the preflight checks. then he has to undock his ships and prepare his ships and astrogate the way.

We have the edge sir....

If he crosses us at the WORMHOLE thats a differnt story

Also the KIPIRE ships and the ANKAA space station will open up on us if we target him

He is just scum.

Lets wait till we get to the Nexus sir

Most of the bridge crew look at you

Hrlm - course laid in sir

SO - Jump point set

Your ship enters the Jump Ppoint and then you set a series of courses thru HYPERSPACE. Flapjack will not be able to follow you

SO - Hyper Cloak on line sir

EO - full power sir

You are now on course for the Worm hole

*grinds her teeth*

don't call me sir...

and I know he's not worth it, was just hoping to deliver the message, don't get in my way. besides, Ankaa would be eternaly gratefull to me for getting rid of that lowlife...

oh well, helm, you know where we're headed, get us there. stop at a reasonably safe distance, and allow the SO to scan about first tough

EO, SO, MO, WO, you all know what enemies we can expect, especialy Silva. as I stated earlier, adapt and upgrade accordingly

*sigh* have got to be gratefull to dad, if it wasn't for him, I wouldn't have these defence matrixes, nor the flight control, or the verry advanced ships ai computer, and lets not forget our wonderfull phased reflex cannon... I can hardly wait to test it... if no Silva are present, we'll wait for flapjack!
