Noldor's Tribulations

2114



Following the expansion of mankind into the stars, the logical conclusion was to then colonize worlds other than that of Gaia, a world that has become covered in industry and metal and concrete cities cover most of the land. Leaving very little space left for anything natural anymore. The new colonise that stared to arise first run by governments and once cooperation’s where allowed to venture into its depths even more colonies arose on various moons and asteroids with anything of worth. The conditions at first where dismal for anyone promised a new life, and didn’t improve until a revolt caused the creation of a sect movement that is dedicated to stopping cooperate discrimination.



After small accident turned to riots, and riots turned into revolts and then changes in leadership forcing some colonies to allow a civilian run government into power, others colonies simple disappeared due to major malfunctions the movements actives stopped abruptly. Whilst on earth the counting dwindling resources and loss of diplomatic ties between most nations resulted in a war which ended in the almost complete loss of all life on it. The nearest colonies and stations where first to suffer, without a constant supply of food and industry materials most ground to a halt, a few but the poor or unneeded left in their antiquated ships further into space to the deeper newly founded colonies. Finding the same situation a lack of supplies and to many people to support. The space naval forces at the time headed by Admiral Stantzer took systematic control over every orbital colony or planetary colony in their path, repeating same actions everywhere; using their superior ships any resistance would be destroyed and then they would pillage what resources and supplies to feed their own soldiers destroying colonies after leaving or destroying a planets factories and farms and taking anyone of value and executing the rest.



When nearing the edge of the solar system the last few colonies had joined together in an attempt to stop the Admirals purification as he called it, forming their own basic but large fleet, made up of modified cargo ships, transport ships with weapons added, if it could fly it had weapons added to it and sent to the front lines. The two fleets met in a climatic battle that lasted days and ended up with both sides suffering heavy casualties, the former navy had better ships and weapons than the free colonist, but the colonists outnumbered the navy in numbers. Though a few Navy vessel switched sides during the fight the Admirals ship suffered a mutiny participated by the unknown sect their last message stating that freedom is only possible when the heart is left to roam freely, and the soul glides into the depths of the stars.

Shortly after the Naval Flagship engines lost stability causing a meltdown in its atomic reactor, the fighting stopped at that moment as both side realised they had no future in this galaxy anymore to many resources had already been wasted to start again. A year later a series of ships put together from all remaining ships left in both the fleets using their sub light engines and filled with long distance sleeper pods of selected candidates with no information of their origin programmed into the ships computer, only what data and resources that where needed to start a anew.





2720



The large sleek station orbiting the home planet, named after unknown literal reference by its first colonist as simply hope, though that was many centuries ago now. Johan could not help but wonder what drove their ancestors out from wherever they came from, whatever their reasons it was never recorded and remains a debate for philosophers and scientist alike. Taking a deep heavy breath, and despite his advanced years Johan was still young looking. Something he had one of his ancestors to be thankful for. His life expectancy was double an average human, if you could consider anyone average anymore everyone had their own little traits caused by modifying genes to adapt better to space travel or simple life itself. Only a few purists remained devout in their fanatical religion that we should go back to simple teachings and not become a slave to technology preaching something about it being the downfall of the mother civilisation.



Letting out a heavy sigh as he stared out of his hardened poly view port , the thought of such purists enough to sicken him, preaching nonsense yet using technology to stop those with it. His attention caught as he Catches sight of a large cruiser docking with the space station, its hull a sleek black, finely shaped in an artistic manner.

“Frayed, here?”

Taping harshly at a touch panel the view port being covered by a section of hull plating, Johan not helping but be thankful that his next mission would be starting in a few hours, but unable to regret letting her down again. Turing sharply around baying any such thoughts away, now was not the time. Reaching into his uniforms top pocket to pull out a pair of small glasses, its lenses made of glass from the way shone in the light. His vision clearing to crystal clarity to look about his office, a small desk littered with a few standard data pads, a potted plastic plant the closest thing he could get to real one on this ship without having to fill out to many forms for his liking. Nestled within a stand an antique violin lay within a clear poly case, securely fastened in its padded stand, a bookshelf of antique perfectly preserved and still readable after centuries of being in existence from before even the creation of the united worlds. Regardless this ship was the life he chose, and his belongings went with him on it, that was how it was for men such as him. Striding across the padded floor insulated floor his company uniform in pristine condition, pushing past his disregarded chair a fine layer of dust having seated itself there. Taking one last glance around his room, his face forcing a smile

“Duty calls”

Directing his comment to a picture of a young looking girl wearing a flowing dress, taken at some elegant celebration.



The facts



You are to be a crew old or new member of the Noldor, a Science/Archaeology vessel with a limited arsenal of weapons at its disposal. Part of a fleet of ships owned by one of the largest ship and archology producing companies, captained by Johan Ghala, a decorated captain during the war between the humans and the Frayed . A war which ended up with no clear victor, the Frayed surrender after a few battles and now act as merchants, mercenaries, and various other likewise occupations, shortly after the war abruptly ended Johan left the military service and joined the cooperate run fleets. Being captain to the Noldor for his twelfth year. A fair warning this is not heavily combat orientated thread though there will be some battles and characters have to be limited in the abilities. The range of character skills can range from scientist to flight officer to a soldier, that choice I will leave up to you. But as stated before this is not heavily combat orientated thread and will have other aspects involved mostly like mystery. The ship houses a crew of three thousand, the ships size being about the size of a large cruiser powered by three fusion drives. Some slight traits are accepted in characters along the lines of maybe longer life expectancy or partial increase in memory recall etc, but nothing major as in enhanced strength and general pain tolerance etc. Modification either biological or technological is outlawed due to its long term effects, only basic neural interfaces are allowed to better aid access to ships data and controls, though not compulsory in most ships.



Mission



A recently scouted planet shows a sign of remains and also possible resources, the mission is two fold to investigate the origins of the ruins for historical records, as well as do a detailed study on the possibility of founding a mining archology on the planet.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Name: Akyla
Age: 56
Occupation: Archeologist
Genetic Traits (aka. Special Skills): Photographic memory, Enhanced Sight (30/20): able to pick out fine details.

Appearance: Short, reddish blond hair. Grey eyes. Appears about 30. Toned build from years of digging. Permanently Tanned from all her time in the sun.

Personality: Often serious especially when working, devoted to her skills. Called a know it all often due to her memory. Has a carefree side many don't see. Hides a lot of sadness from her past.

History: Her life started easy. Born to an upper middle class family she wanted for almost nothing. Sent to a private school she gained a semi supurior attitude. Her memory allowed her to fly through high school skipping a couple grades and gaining a scholarship to a reputed school for history and archeology.

Out in the field quickly she was excavating a site in the middle of nowhere when the war hit. Completely unconnected with society the only signs she had of a war was explosions in the sky she disregared as uncommon astrological incidents. Her focus on her work stopping her from thinking anything more.

Returning home after 5 years she was greated by the realization that she missed the whole war. Finding many family members now dead she fell into depression and focused even more on her work. This focus raised her among the ranks of the top archeologists drawing the attention of one of the industrial corporations. A member of the first mission she has given up her home planet, she has maken her new home in space. Putting her past and depression behind her, she has greatly enjoyed the exploration of other civilizations ruins.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Had an interesting inspiration so thought I would try something new.

Name: Sarah Cardenas
Age: 32
Description: Cardenas is over 6ft tall, has blonde hair and green eyes.
Occupation: Engineer
Aspects: Longer Life Expectancy
History: Coming from a long line of naval officers her family was surprised when she declared she was going into engineering. She took an engineering apprenticeship at the age of 18 and became a fully-fledged engineer at 22. She served aboard a military vessel, the vigilant for 2 years before it was decommissioned after a skirmish which left it crippled. She left the military and joined a civilian organization. She now serves aboard the Noldor, and has done for 8 years. Prefers to be called Cardenas.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Name: Remy "Flapjack" Redert
Age: 22
Description: mid-sized light weight, with dark brown hair and green/grey eyes.
Occupation: Physics specialist/scientist
Skills: Mathematician, capable of solving most logical problems with ease.
History: Skipped several classes and entered university at the age of 16, to graduate at the age of 20. He then spent almost 2 years specializing in physics but didn't make any major discoveries, he then entered service aboard the Noldor, looking to do something else. In his younger years he has also spent some time practicing martial arts and sword fighting, tough he is not particularly good with either.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Dragonsjem - All fine awaiting history.

Blake - All fine history a little short maybe but it will do.

Bakan - Due to the taboo's on mechanical enhancment, people who have have lost limbs etc get replacments that resemble real flesh and feels like real flesh. This means taht people who have had to ahve them dont have prejudice against them. Though due to it being mechanical the arm does not give out heat like normal body parts, and there are no nerve connections in it as that breaks certain rules set by the United Front and the arm does not allow you to have increased strength but can operate in cold tempratures when most body functions would slow.

Tiger - All fine but a point of query does this mathamticain trait come from study or an inbred trait? if inbred more information please.

Hewitt - All fine excpet I am assuming the increased intelligence maybe comes from a faster memory recall rate?

All - Please note if it is at all posisble can you say wether you are new memeber of crew or served with it for howevor many of years you wish up to maxmimum of twelve (when ship was commisoned) this will allow me to RP the crews reaction more convincinly towards you.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

as noted in the history, 2 years after turning 20 my character joined the Noldor's crew, he's now 22, thus he's only recently joined the crew (a few months or so ago)

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Name: James R. Gokan
Occupation: Military Computational Engineer First Class. Assigned to the Noldor for on-site training aboard a non-military vessel.
Age: 21
Physical Description: Gokan is about 2 inches taller than average and is rather gawky and light-limbed in appearance, definately not a particularly amazing physical specimen. Light, almost sandy coloured unruly brown hair is cut fairly short on his head. Very light blue eyes seem to look at almost everything with a hint of calculating disbelief. In fact apart from his slightly taller height he would appear almost perfectly normal. And many people fail to realise his rank from cursory glances. In fact the only other noteworthy feature is the small socket in the back of his neck, near the base of his skull indicating that he is implanted with a neural interface.
Personality: His appearance which almost screams naiveté means that his personality comes as something of a shock to most people, capable of some of the most cynical outbursts. He has an almost unhealthy attachment to computers and seems much while happier jacked in than when interacting with people. He is fully aware that he is not physically strong and is thus more prone to running away from danger than confronting it, although he is vaguely proficient with basic weaponry.
Traits: Neural interface. The design is military in origin and severely pushes the legal limitations (and even breaks some of the civilian regulations).
History: Gokan was implanted with his first interface at the age of 12, two days before his 13th birthday and enrolement in one of the most prestidgious schools in all the colonies. He learnt at an amazing rate, seeming to simply devour knowledge, a talent some attribute to his interface being implanted at such an early age. And enroled at a similarly prestidgious university at the age of 15 from where he graduated with honours in three seperate computing courses 4 years later. He then spent two years training for military intelligence, which he disliked immensely but endured since it gave him clearance for the neural interface he now has. Literally just assigned to the Noldor he takes his first breath aboard the vessel he's to spend at least the next four years assigned to.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Gokan - I am fine with you having a a nueral link but rather tahn the ghost in the shel like ones you descirbed im thinking more along lines of links used in Crest of the Stars (Battleflag of the Stars, Banner of the Stars) i.e. as in it is a physical cable/chain that is plugged in a port that can be detached and put away, and relies on one high speed data treanfer port instead.

Since it seems everyone is almst done and there dont apper to be anymore takers, thouhg otehrs are welcome to join later if they want. The thread will be stared soon you can edit your charcter with whatever amendmants neccesry at your own pace.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

well, I don't have anything to change, so I'm ready to go. Oh and yes, I do have a neural link, but I rarely use it, since I prefer make long calculations by hand (tough 'big' calculations need calculator help)

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Blake - All fine

Flapjack - As you wish thouhgt your control over the link as well as its standards are not as strindent as spritely zombie.

Start

A mass of crwods shuffled around each others, everyone with their own seperate destions. Neither taking the time to take let time slo around them. Johan Ghala looked over the cargo bay from its high reaching platforms with dismay.
"Tell me why does everyone think they have to rush to get all their belongings and quarters sorted out. You'd think they had the impression they where going to be left behind."
Behind him standing taller than the captain, an elderly women looking in her late seventies. Soft slooping wrinkles defining her age with an elegance rather than emthasising it, a pair of gentle grey eyes scanning about the rambling of the new recruits always did make the civil space forces look disorgansied.
"Most of them have barly left whatever academies they went to, some should know wiser whislt otehrs have lived but a glimpse of the life they could. Besides wether you like it or not you have a reputation being one of the most decorated captains during the final battles of the war, surving all odds so I guess they think you might just leave without them"

A less than serious convaing across in her voice a glimmer of a curled smile hinting at the corenr of her lips. Johan letting out a low sigh turing his head to look at the women, nodding it at the executive officer in dismay
"Normally the exec shows respect to their captain and beside you know well enough the navy is run by career hunting officers and big headed admirals, they give anyone a medal as long as it made them look good. Those days are long behind me though the same lifeless feeling remains when doing these survey runs, but space is my life and without money behind you going private just does not pay well"
Letting out another low sigh looking down into the depth of cargo bay once more watching people move about though less rushed now, the feeling of hand being pressed agaisnt his shoulder.
"Might happen one day you will far outlive a me, and my grandchilden no doubt, your just one those stuborn old men who doesnt know when to stop"
Johan letting out a low chuckle, his somber mood lifting to be repalced with clear skies
"Always know how to cheer somone up, well we best get this ship ready to this refit and re-supply should be a good moral booster."



****************

The bridge was like any standard layout, the same s one of a hundred ships out there. The command chair placed at the back of the wall, below it the executive officers station ajasent to the communcitons station. Fanning out then so to leave a smalla arched walkway leading to both bridge exits. combat control, communications and sensors, and flight control placed to the left, center and right past the walkway. another platform down below that houseing most of the main eletronics and computer terminals connected, al maing for a large but cramps bridge leaving little room to stand around in let alone move.

Johan sitting in the command chair various dispalys situated around him dispaying the ships conditions, reaching out from the back of his ear to unclip a small silver wire hiddden from view. Placing its slight glowing end into the headrest of his padded chair, opening up a link to the internal speaker system at a button press.
"Attention all crew, for those of you who are new and just settling in you no doubt relasie I am your captain, though this is a civil ship and rank does not mean as much here as on a naval vessel. At least refer to me as Captain when on duty. Your executive officer for this mission is a Leanne Skyrider, no jokes about the name she can outfight and outpace any recruit and captain for that matter with ease."
On of her sly grins appering on the elderly womens face, looking up for a breif fe secodns from her console.
"But if you have any complaints or problems you have on board she is the one to inform, the rest of the crew you'll no doubt meet in time. Other than that we will soon be deaprting the station and preparing to jump out system, when you are called report to medical for you nanotic and vacine shots. There will be several jumps with an estimated eta of four days travel, the mission breifing will come closer to the destination, that is all"
Running the length of his finger across a projected screen button shutting down the speakers for now.

ooc - This is where i give you some free will on where wish to start your posting from rather than dictate a time a place, since the ship services a rather moderatute sized crews all quarters hold about three personell each, some bigger rooms are avaible to others dependign on their position.

All contaning seprate sleep chambers for privacy. There is the engineering section which is msolty off limits to all but cleared perosonell, security is managed by two central control rooms either side of the ship allowing for a duty standbye system to be in place. The dinning area is situated near the small recreational area which houses a court and observation desk that can be used to play various activites, a autumated data libary holding a alrge selction of novels and some games.

The dinning hall itself is a large room with floor mounted single seats and room lenght tables, a small kitchen for when its need is provided, but msot food comes from pre packed meals supplied by vending machines wether hot or cold. Drinks follwing a similair suite though msotly serving synthised taste nutrition enhanced drinks, meaning no alcoholic drinks just their taste.

The scinetific dertment is split up into three sections about the ship, each containing its own labratories and equitment. Being well equiped and staffed due to the ships role. There are two large cargo bays which are under protection to stop any supplies being taken without request and authorisation.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

The Engineering section was quiet, Cardenas stood next to an engineering console keying in commands and checking with her data pad every so often. Hearing the ship wide message, she looks up from her work and glanced around the section there was only her and a few other people working in the small engineering section. After the broadcast had finished, she leaned forward and pressed the comm button.

“Bridge, this is engineering. We are all ready and set down here.”

Almost instantly after she released the comm button, the reply came.

“Affirmative, engineering.”

She returned to checking the ships systems one last time.

/ Hope that was okay, couldn’t think of anything else. /

Blake -

ooc- Thats fine

"Cardenas Im picking up a slight power surge in the aft section, run a check on the sensors for me will you"
The voice came from behind you, one of the younger engineers on board the Noldor. Keeping his voice calm but showing you a smile, as usual always with the charms.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Akyla stretches out on her bed shuffling through a few files. Her experience taught her long ago to avoid any main areas at boarding times. She had heard this welcome speech so many times she could almost recite it from memory however she couldn't help but smile at the captains jokes. They still had their humor especially for those who knew them so well. Sighing a little, she mumbles to herself, eagar to get this years voyage underway.

flapjack is infamous around these parts
Re: Noldor's Tribulations

flapjack stood at 1 of the computer consoles closest to the center, a small starmap showing gravitational and hyperspatial distortions on a screen to his right and the center screen flooded with his calculations. Hyperspatial calculus was not easy and it was something only a few dozen people where really good at. After only about 5 minutes, just as the Noldor cleared Hope's gravitational field, flapjack finished his calculations and reported.
"course plotted sir, transferring hyperspace travel data to helm station."

To his right he immediatly heard the helm officer speaking. "Wormhole travel data recieved, altering course to match. We're clearing earth's gravitational field now."

ooc/ I do believe it's still hyperspatial calculus, after all, we're cutting a hole out of 'normal' space. /ooc

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Gokan listens to the captains announcement, a small bag of personal belongings slung over his shoulder, most of his stuff had already been moved onboard and probably to his cabin, wherever that is he thought sardonically. For the fourth or fifth time he pulled his now slightly crumpled and tattered orders out of a pocket.
They were printed on paper, or at least, something that bore a notable resemblence to paper; a throwback to tradition and an added security measure, put it anywhere near a naked flame and it would combust almost instantly, irrevocably destroying the contents. The orders bore the symbol of military intel and were stamped with the seals of several of the larger civilian shipping authorities
Code:
                      Report to the Noldor for onsite training.
No details, nothing. Why was he being assigned to a civilian ship for training? Apart from a small nagging suspicion, it made no sense.
Sighing briefly, Gokan started looking for someone who would be at least able to tell him where his cabin was.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Dragonsjem -

A low beep comes from the direcvtion of your door, on the panel set besides the the image of one of the lab technicains appers on screen from the door mounted cameras view. Seeing the sigh of short cut hair, and a long face with tanned looking skin, reconsing it as the scientific depertments supply cordinator.

Flapjack -

ooc - You will have to correct your post as you have made one of two mistakes, one being the noldors docked at a space station that orbits the planet Hope. Also the form of travel used in this universe is wormholes, and to get from one place to anotehr can take numerous jumps due to the need to re-adjust course and direction after every jump. Though this may not be scientificly acurate thats the advantage of it being a thread it does not have to be.

Spritly Zombie -

You feel a sudden weigh on your shoulders, turing your head in slow glance to catch sight of a stocky built man, with striking black hair, though his physique gave him a lanky apperance and his chest seme to protrud outwards showing the outline of his ribs almost from under his clean comapny uniform.
"So your my new room mate, I was asked to come down and take you to medical for your booster nanonics and vacine shots most of logner serving crew are up to date so it should not be busy down there. The names Flyn Dexter IV, though ignore the last part just stick with Flyn for now"
Rasing his body from its leaning position to brush some dust of the plain grey jacket, a green strip across its chest just above the Poseidon comapny logo. cathcing a better view of his long angled face, skin presisng close to its bone structure giving him a frail apperance but not lacking in strneght as you felt from his grip earlier.
"This way please"
His legs carrying him speedly out of the cargo bay, through its large open door.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Gokan looks momentarily stunned, an expression he quickly subdues into something slightly more passive. He hurriedly pushes his orders back into his pocket, undoubtedly adding to the already numerous creases. He jogs a few paces before catching up and matching Flyn's rapid but not strenuous pace.

After a few hundred yards he finds himself embarassingly aware of the silence between them. Gokan reassesses Flyn's character removing the impressions of a rather verbose man. He thinks briefly.

"So, er... How long have you been on the Noldor?" he asks, slightly hesitantly.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Flyn glance turns to an odd stare, then a sly smile.
"Id say about five years now, was the best way to get away from family responsibiltys, plus my rather unique physical triats means im more adapted to space flight than working on some planet unable to fly amongst the stars. Besides I have a nack for fixing things so becoming a reapir technicain seemed logical. The career propects are not worth mentioning but it pays the bills."
He seem to easly keep this pace, looking as thogh he used to running about the ship to the next repair job than strolling about.

"Here we are this lift shoudl take us down to the lower decks and then its a short walk to medical area, dont like going there much myself to be honest to you dont like the stares I get of the staff there."
Streaking across his features is anotehr sly grin hiding weterh he was serious or simple palying on your nieve nature as far as this ship was conserned. Large metal door slide open inf ront of you leading into large lift very plain decorated just like all the walls around here, only the directonal signs and maps seem to distinguish where you where.

Flyn stepping into the lift, barly filling the alrge space up as it look as though you could fit over a dozen people inside, pressing a primative looking hard poly button with writting above it.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Akyla places aside handheld computer display and moves quickly across her small but single room, stepping nimbly over a small pile of books. It wasn't the best room but it was far superior over the general quarters and besides, it was hers and only hers. Pressing a button on the little panel next to the door she glances up and gives a little smile to the supply coordinator as the door reveals him.
"I take it that it's time to deal with the new recruits."

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Standing just a little over you, the tanned skin officer smiles back. Pulling out a small pad from behind his back handing it to you.
"Yer can't say we got a lot this time but some the new equitment is defaintly welcome . Here is the list anyway only about about fourty in total they all had their shots and are settling in, Seems security and engineering got the bulk of new recruits more than the other departments anyway. Some ex soldiers are amongst them or so the talk goes, make me wodner what the comapny is thinking these days hiring so many walking brutes."
His smile fading to a tight curled sneer, you recalls Phinn's blatant distrust for anyhting involving violance.

Scrolling quickly through the list of new recruits and supplies intending to look more carefully at it in time. Shaking her head a little in response to Phinn's comment.
"I'm sure the corporation has their reasons. It's not like we have any say over what they do."
Pocking the panel she gestures to Phinn to leave the room as she follows, locking the door behind her.
"Might as well have a look over the new equipment before the recruits start messing with them."

Silently slumping his shoudler in frustration Phinn's communicator beeps.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Tiger -

The familar souns of the bridge sourround you, glancing around you catch sight of everyone doing their job some talking amongst themselves.
"Activate artifical gravity untill we clear the space station, it at least gives everyone a chance to get to the protective sections of the ship and have their nanonic. It gets mess otherwise"
You look up as you hear captains voice, seieng his face grimacing as he mentions the messy part. You heard what happens to the body when its put udenr the pressure of high gee forces. Feeling the gravity shift to a lighter feeling the ships central section beginging its tireless spin to generate a gravity force around the ship, light enough to allow poepl to walk get to their postions but not to drian a lot of power.
"This is the captain we are running on artifical gravity in effect, departure will be in one hour all ahdns are required to be at their staions or within their quarters at that time"

Letting your mind wander before your data screen seem to act oddly, a slight flicker for a few seconds follow by the usual stillness of it. Feeling a tap on your shoulder looking up to see the executive officer.
"Hey rookie its your trun to report to get your nanonic shots, your behind schedule on them. Now get moving post haste or you migth find yourself having some long shifts"
The way she grins disguising any hint of her whataver truth was in her threat

Everyone + Own personell replies -

The speaker system comes alive the voice of the captain coming through.
"This is the captain we are running on artifical gravity in effect, departure will be in one hour all ahdns are required to be at their staions or within their quarters at that time"

Ship action

The ships fusion engines falre alight, human born stars in the darkness of space, a large part of the center section starting up its spin, the hulking metal sping around in space silently. Depsite its age the Noldor was still going strong, helped by the large budget of a coperation behind it wheneevr there was reapirs to do, though they done little to update most of the system on board it. LArge breaking thruster firing as the fusion engine tubes die down to a low glow, letting a slow unpowered motion take over the shiips flight now.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Cardenas put down her data pad and started typing on the console in front of her. A series of different schematics and data was soon displayed on the screen. She continued typing, then without warning moved to the other side of the section and checked on another console. When she was finished she looked at the young engineer.

“See if that did it, although we might have to cut power to that area and check it manually.”

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

He seem to mimic a slight bow, pressing a series of buttons with an rapid ease.
"Well its cleared now, ill see about getting it added to one repair technicians duty roster they can deal with it. Anyway since we are going to depart soon and the shift is almnost over better get back to our quarters. Though I suppose its to much to ask if I could come with you, it can get rather lonely in them after all?"
His grin widening as the rumours of his rather fickle choice of lifestyle are one of few things stopping you from hitting him there and then.
"Okay, okay I know that look I know when I am beat, maybe another time perhaps"
Rasing his left hand to give you a short wave, his back turned as he seem to take a glance at some other female members of staff before leaving through the door.

"I would not trust him, he may seem like carefree guy. Somthing about him bugs me though, its unusual for somone that age to get a posting on a large comapny vessel, normal you work your way up. He is either extremly skilled to the point, or has has money or influence behind him."
Turing around standing clsoe to your station the cheif engineer works at a panel, looking about his late forties, some wrinkled skin hanging from his face. Hair a deep black, his eyes giving him a distinction suparsing his supposed age, a burning desire and inteligance, a serious man at heart.
"Ill admit he is good but I have sene better, I have been repairing and servicing ships for well on eighty years now and have learnt to rely on my instincts, and they tell me he is trouble."

His gaze turing softer, placing his ahnd agaisnt the metal wall turing to face you once more.
"Besides your to good for him anyway. The young don't apricate whats in front of them. Savour the truly happy moments in life rather than the reckless ones. Now get going ill finish up here the next shift will be coming soon, we are due to jump soon"

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

*Jogging along the corridors, Bakan mentally hummed a old tune from his division. Nothing could beat a good old jog around the ship in his opinion as a warm-up, not to mention a great way to see what was on the ship itself. Dodging a few crewmembers, Bakan flexed his arms, feeling the slight hesitation in his artificial one. Visually identical to his flesh-and-blood, Bakan knew that if crewmembers found out about it, it would probably mean the end of his service on the ship.*

*Hearing the latest announcement from the captain, Bakan continues to jog but goes to his quarters. Slowing down, he hit's the small panel to open the door. Closing it behind him, Bakan removed his shirt, and looked at the scar tissue around the shoulder. Closing his eyes, he saw the battlefield, the flashes, the blood, then so much blood as he saw his arm laying on the ground. Opening them again, Bakan groans and walked over to the shower unit. A few minutes later he exited and pulled on his uniform, making sure to pull on a black workglove over his articical arm. Grabbing various tools as well and belting them on, Bakan exited and made his way to engineering to see what needed to be done.*

[ooc] Sorry for delay. Bakan is a new character to the ship. [/ooc]

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Some beads of sweat still on your brow, catching a few glance from the rest of the crew as you wander down its halls. Being new onbaord gets you a few nervous glances, though for some reason one catches your attention more than others, a young looking man busy talking to one female members of the crew.

Passing by quickly you find the entrance entrance to the engineering section, signs plastered about the walls vering off in numerous directions. Finding yourself go near, the map to find your station situated deep within its heart.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Giving Phinn a quick nod as he leaves, Akyla glances down at the pad again and heads slowly toward the science lab. She had made this journey so many times it was second nature. Walking only for feet of any passerbys, she reads through the equipment list mumbling to herself.
"Hmm..we needed one of those...good they finally got us that...."
The captains annoucement breaking her train of thought she stops then shruggs and continues to head to the lab. Hesitating at the door she takes a deep breath before dealing with any new upstarts who could already be in the lab. Gaining courage she steps inside and looks around.

Gokan pretends to be intently examining the lift interior as he contemplates Flyn's words.

Rather unique physical traits? Certainly he's not like most people I've met, but there's nothing to indicate that he's unique. Is he toying with me for some reason? he thinks to himself.

Gokan barely conceals the slight scowl of deep thought as he follows Flynn wordlessly to the medical bay.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Cardenas contiued to frown at the back of the young engineer but turned after hearing the chief engineer's voice, she gave him a kind smile when he had finished and nodded. She picked up her datapad and exited the engineering section. While she moved through several corridors on her way back to her quarters, she lifted her head a few times to greet a few crew, but otherwise worked intently on her datapad, checking a rechecking it.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Flapjack -

Leaving the bridge you make your way through the ship triyng to rember its confusing layout as best you can, Finding yourself enter the medical area as it look cleaner than the rets of the ship, toughg the fact it is always quiet beside the low conversation occasinly going on in the hall. Finding your way to its main area somenurses milling about their dutys checking supplies and crew profiles, a women with short cut hair, looking over some pads with a frown. Her eyes harsly .
"Remy Redert I assume, report to one of the medical technicans with this pad"
Feeling a pad pushed into your grasp you work over to another one of the nurses.

Spritly Zombie -

Flyn hums quitly to himself, the large elevator door slides open with a whine. Taking you directly to the center of the medical section it seems, the walls looking rather to clean the sound of every footstep echoing throgh the quiet halls.
"Well we are here guess I should show come with you"
sighing to himself he steps out taking you along a long winding corridor bringing to a rather busy section, Flyn seeming visible agitated. A grim looking women hunched over a pile of pads who stares could turn water to ice.
"James Gokan there is a Technicain waiting for you to the right, here is your authorisation"
Placing a pad firmly in your grasp obvusly a strong built women, a nurse beckons you over as Flyn hangs idle about the entrance.
"place your palms open and facing me please"

Socrates -

Standing about waitng for your next paitent, a man seems to come over holding a pad (Flapjack). Looking lost but holding what appers to be nanonics shot authorisation file, pulling out the clsoed box from yuor side flipping its lid open to reveal a padded foam. A hypo-spray with two marked vials labeled in red, with a small pill sealed in its own container next to them. Finding yourself reapting same words you always do.
"Palms open and facing me if you would please"

Blake -

You make your way to the quarters opening the coded door fidnign it empty. The rest of your roommates must be on their shift about nw. Breathing slightly relived your sleeping bunk in some disaray covered in pads and cloths from your rush to get to engineering after sleeping late.

Akyla glances around the room, cringing at the sight. Unnoticed just yet as so many are preoccupied she memorizes who is playing with the equipment without authorization.
I'm going to have to keep and eye on them...such children.
Walking slowly over to the nearest group of recruits, a little reluctantly, but taking on her role of authority, she loudly clears her throat catching their attention. Catching their gaze, she glares at them and speaks in a voice loud enough to nullify most conversation.

As you turn your palms over she pulls out a compat hypo spray device, pressing it agaisnt one of your exposed veins releasing the cotents of its vial into your blood stream. Pulling ut froma box a small tablet handing it to you.
"Take this and for first few minutes you'll feel a tingeling feelings but thats quite normal. Now for your vacine shot, its fortunate they come pretty mcuh all in one these days."
Leaving your presence for the briefest moment, coming back with a short needled srying, and anotehr colour tinted vial. Pulling the coents of the vial into the small syring, holding your arm slightly pressing the needle into the exposed flesh where your elbow bends inwards. Feeling a small but slight prick of pain as its conents is released into your system.
"The standard warning if you feel any side efefcts like headaches, and cold sweats report to medical straight away"
Her voice sounding monochrome and dull with that sentance.

Your harsh glare enough to cause a few to look down, one or two seem lost and confused but dare not look away. Only one speaks to you wth some degree of wavering confidence in her voice.
"We where seeing how the equitment operated, though we handled it in controlled enviroments these are newer models to what they used at the academy, umm thats about it really."
Losing her stare to yours as she looks barly out of her twenties, with soft skin and long hair that glisens in its well looked fater state. Glancing at her badge causes you to quickly look her name up in your pad, finding a pampered lifestlye used to getting her own way in life by using credits.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

ooc: Sorry it's taken so long, I've been busy you know...

*Hewitt was sitting hunched over at one of the tables in the ships dining quarters when the depart announcement came over the intercom.*

We're leaving are we? And here I was thinking this bucket of bolts would never get going. Heh.

*Hewitt skulled the last of his psuedo-Burbon and winced at the taste.*

*Blah* I never realised until now just how bad this stuff really tastes. No wonder they normally put hard stuff in it. Hmm... 'pose I should get to my quarters then, not much else to do on this tincan...

*Getting to his feet easily enough after drinking ten different immitations of some of his favourite beverages, Hewitt moves from the table and heads for the dining room exit.*

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Gokan swallows the pill without a second thought. Looking around he notes that there doesn't seem to be anything else to do. As he walked away he was aware of a slight tingle, starting in his stomach and gradually spreading to his extremities. The experience wasn't wholly unpleasant but Gokan ignored it. Rejoining Flynn at the doorway.

"They seem rather disatisfied with their job." he said, casually as the two of them walk off.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Hewitt -

As you make your way to the door, the corridor is alomst empty now with everyone either going to their quarters or duty stations. Finding it quiet for once, broekn by the shattering cry of the hull bulking under some type of explsion. Air hisses away from you down racing towards the origion of the sound, shortly before hearing the clashing of bulk head doors close hastfully as alarms blare around you in their high pitched wails. During all this only a few people seem to pass you some running to the sound others away from it, one of them a engineer by the looks of him, making a fast paced run just a blur to you as you cna abrly make out the uniform.

Spritly Zombie -

Flyn simple nods and smiles, untill you clear the medical bay itself. Letting go of a long held breath of relief.
"Yer well it happens, they have been to some best academys on whatever star sytem they come from. Applied for a major hopsital or maybe even those high price hopsital ships, they pay good money for compitent nurses and doctors. Instead they find they just didnt manage to get the right grades so apply to the coperations for ship postings, and end up doing mundane duties ith the occasional emergency for excitemnt."
Flyn's habit of gring mid sentance become more aparent the longer spend with him, either tactfull pauses or maybe just a simple grin walking down the corridor to quite oblvious of the fact he almost kncoked into a few people.

"Take the one who handed you the pad, been the ships head doctor since it was commisioned, has eraned yerself a repatuion of being a sour unaprovable person. Though I have heard claims of one perosn she can get wild elsewhere, though considering the person we are talking about he was probable making claims as usual. Hell if you beleived everyhting they said they have to be able to split themsleves into ten. Seriously though she is one of best the doctors around so why she is on this ship is anybodys guess."
A shudder seem to knock the ship into a hard bump, alarms start ringing throughtout the ship, causing Flyn to flinch whsislt quickly turing a lot more serious than before.
"Come on move that means somthing has happened and that all off duty crew are to report to quarters of you get security breathing down yuor neck. Those boys and girls dont play nice."
Making a hurried effort now Flyn's legs carry him with ease, the lower artifical gravity making moving about more cumbersome for you as you reach an elevator, pulling you into it with a hard tug.

Everyone + Personell replies

The ships banks hard to one side, a blaring alarm breaks out with its earth shattering high pitched wail causing more than enough nosie to wake all but heaviest of sleepers. Its loud wails cutting short mintues later to give way to flashing warning lights placed all around the ship.

Bridge Action -

Johan running a figner over the back of his hand, quitly passing the time untill all crew and supplies where put into place and the drives where charged up fully. Letting out a tired sigh possible revaling his true age for once, his peacefull moment shattered by a thundering explsion and wailing alarm shortly cut off on the bridge by his own console controls.
"Damn it I can never think when that thing goes off, somone explain to me why we lost pressure and why I am regestering a hull breach?"
His voice coming out as a snappy growl not apricating the timing of this event in the slightest.

"Sensors have regestered an explsion near the mess hall area, its by one of the emergency airlock hatches. Doing a detialed scan now"
The executive officer scrunching her face n an anooyed manner as she spoke.
"One of the power conduits overlaoded at a guess, the airlock has been sealed off but it will have to be checked by an engineering crew later to make sure. It will delay our flight time by eight hours maximum"

"A delay we cant afford, Praxis are already pushing me to get ahead of schedule as it is. Any delays and it means lost profits for them, lots of hastle for us. We can still jump with its only minimal damage it goes agaisnt my better judgment but when have you found a coperation that looks after its people more than its profits. Tag it as emergency maintience once we break open an event horizon and enter cruise veleocity, send some droids to patch up any hull weakness."
Johan's patience wearing thin these days with the constant need to keep up with deadlines
"Get a security detachemtn down there to keep watch over the area, somthings not right about this, and quiet the alarm im sure everyone knows by now"

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Gokan is pulled into the elevator. Which by some strange stroke of fate is empty apart from the two of them again, despite the rush of people in the corridor trying to get to their stations or quarters.

"So... What do you do here?" he asks Flynn, keeping up his carefully composed nervousness and naivite. The tingling sensation has mostly died down now, just a little remaining in his fingers and toes, which he moves around in his boots rythmically clenching his hands into loose fists.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

*flapjack quickly moves over to 1 of the technical nurses to get his nanonic shot, the alarms already silent again.*

"This wasn't good, we're going to get delayed a lot. A really big lot..."

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

"Im suer it will be okay, best you get your shot now before then get to wherver you have to be"
Instead of waitng for you to turing yoyur palms over, the male nurse selects the largest atery. Presisng the flat cold nozzle of a hypo spray to its moving the conets of the vial into your blood stream, hadning over a pill to you.
"All done"
His reply somwhat more enthusatic than the others though barly, as the wailing alarm goes quiet leaving only the flashing corridor lights.

Spritly Zombie -

"I though I already mentioned taht, repair technican I am the guy they send to fix any broken panels or machinery that the engineering people wont get their hands dirty with. Though most of them are alright really the old man in charge of them all can be grizzly at times but has a softy heart."
The lift opens up on an unfamiliar floor, decor though keeping to the standerdised drab colours, looking almost as bad as military ship colours.
"Ill give you that your a sly one, almost had me fooled there for a moment your military right? dont worry I am not in the business of rumours though what they where thinking putting you here I dont know Come on our quarters is just around the hallway its fortunate its a double rather than a triple room."
His smile hiding any ulterior motive or objectives in his assumption, though he seemed confifdent in his own judgment leaving the elevator before its wisks itsself away to some other floor being called not long before you step out. Finding yourself follow Flyn quietly into a rather clean room, two bunks one on top of the others securly molded with the wall, a small storage area and desk the other side of the room.

Re: Noldor's Tribulations

Gokan just about manages to hide his grin with a look of amused puzzlement at Flynn's assumption. He liked the guy.

"You did? Oh sorry. Must've slipped my mind."

Gokan glances around the room, looking to see if any of his belongings have arrived ahead of him. Either it's not arrived, or else it's already been sequestered away somewhere. He spends another few moments pondering the beds. Both are as pristine and neatly folded as each other. He points at them.

"Which one's mine?" he says smiling slightly. "And where can I find the duty officer, or the roster. I'm not entirely sure what I've been assigned to do here... Something involving computer maintenance, presumably... Or at least involving computers."
