    *Squall greets the wraith raiders politely*

    "Alright everyone, stay on your toes. This things not over yet"

    *Motions to the Wraith Raiders* "Lead the way"

    *He waits for the wraith raiders to move and follows*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,266 ✭✭✭Rnger


    "Greetings, I am Byuu" -pauses looking over his shoulder- "part of the security aboard this station. If you'll follow me..."

    -makes his way to the command deck via lift 4, leads the team through a corridor, into a room, moves to the side leaning against the wall awaiting to hear the senior staff-


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 914 ✭✭✭Specky


    Zmek eyes the newcomers suspisciously, glancing at the other squad members to guage their reaction and shrugs.

    "Looks like we do as we're told..."

    Following the others into the somewhat crowded lift he makes note of the level they are currently on and the level the wraith radiers take them to.

    There is little chat amongst the squad members as they are taken to the command level and Zmek does little to contribute, preferring to stand in the corner of the lift with an air of sulky distain.

    When they finally arive in the waiting room, Zmek takes up position leaning against the wall next to the door with arms folded watching as the others assemble.

    Tal 'Einea watches the members of thier escort from behind her hair and when they enter the room gives it good looking over .

    she shaunters over to the window and looks out at the stars.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 148 ✭✭tank


    tank looks in the direction of the Wraith raiders and shrugs his shoulders muttering to himself "could have sworn they were looking at that Dr funny" *shakes his head "not getting enough sleep i tell you"

    "fair enough lead the way so"

    tank falls into line and follows the wraith raiders to the command deck

    Spirit feels the cool metal panels behind her back. Their hardened coolness helps quell the rising nervousness squirming in her belly.

    A quick visual survey of the group confirms that (at least superficially) most of the others seem to hide it well if they are experiencing the same.

    "Two level eights babysitting us seems a bit much for what we had thought was an 'easy' assignment", she ponders to herself, a slight frown reappearing on her brow. Eager to hide her disquiet she takes a somewhat furtive calming breath and returns her thoughts to the teams discussions.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 51 ✭✭Gaunt


    Gaunt followed the others into the lift and unconsciously checked his weapons with one hand to ensure everything was in its right place. The rest of the team were as quiet as he and he could imagine what they were thinking; the number of gun toteing SLA operatives was increasing far more quickly than he had ever expected. So much for this being the most staight forward misson.

    He put his back to a bulkhead after exiting the lift and crossed his arms, each hand resting on an uzi......


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 265 ✭✭FlashBang


    Steiner follows the group quietly, eyeing every dark corner they pass by. When they arrived in the room, he takes up position in the corner left of the door.

    [Game turn 9]

    The squad enters lift 4 which opens up onto the command deck. A vast array of computer terminals and Big screens which shows the layout of the station. The crew on the command desk are rushing about there daily task of directing orbiting ships overseeing the repair and maintenance of the station and various tactical readouts of Aroura.

    The Wraith raiders lead to the commanding office "Captain EJ smith. at your service" he bows dramatically. "Ahh the operatives from the surface welcome on board the Aroura" he hands you all a readout of the ship and says "you have full access to any part of the ship and a wraith raider guide Byuu"

    "i have need of the other two raiders" he turns momentarily giving instructions to the raiders that you cant quite hear and turns back to you. "the equipment will be ready shortly gentlemen and i have just one request from the science crew some of the equipment is very sensitive to flux so will the ebon and brain wasters in the group please be careful when they channel"

    "we should be ready to leave in ab....."

    "SIR" one of the crew shouts "there it is again that power drain on the lower levels we've lost internal COMS on the bottom 5 decks now because of it"

    "has security reported back yet" the captain replies

    ""negative sir"

    the captain turns to you and says "if you will excuse me this is a very old space station i'll have to see what's wrong, feel free to move about the ship as you wish nothing is off limits to you and here is a map of the ship for you."

    "you should be on our way in about an hour" says the captain "the docking ring has lost power again we'll have it back on line as soon as possible" captain shakes his head and mutters to himself "25 years of being a captain and i have to put up with this station its not worth it, still at least I'm retiring next week...."

    with that the captain leaves you alone standing amidst the glow and buzzing sounds of the computers.......

    Looking about somewhat nervously, Spirit says huskilly, "I don't like this, don't like this at all..."

    *Squall gives his orders, readies his weapons and takes the lead towards the Research labs*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 914 ✭✭✭Specky


    Zmek looks around him as Squall reels out his orders and the various members of the squad make ready their weapons "Well let's all make it very obvious to everyone in the vicinity that we're not just going down to the coffee shop shall we? Stow those weapons until we're in the elevators! We don't want anyone calling ahead to prepare themselves for a fight do we?"

    "I for one do not like what I've seen so far on board this station, there's a smell of corruption in the air. we're being kept in the dark more than we should"

    Zmek waits for the other members of his group to follow Squall, waiting and watching the station crew for signs that they might be being watched or followed then turns to walk briskly after the others.

    Clenching gloved fists as he walks the hard gash fish gauntlets are tight against his skin, the comfortable weight of his side arm pressed against his ribs in the shoulder holster and the reassuring solidness of the assualt rifle strapped muzzle down on his back beneath his coat. Although the air is stale and processed there is a certain sharpness rising in his nostrils and the feintest buzz in his ears.

    The chatter of the control room fades as the anticipation of action looms. "So, our cargo reacts to Ebb" he thinks as he follows the others towards the elevators "he didn't say we couldn't channel, he just said we must take care...still, mustn't damage the cargo or I won't get paid...the ebon had better remember that and stay away...I'll fry her brain if she...never mind, it's not important right now. Anyway, she's in the other team, with any luck Tali will do it for me or Steiner will shoot her.....need to keep an eye on that wraith raider..."

    He glances over his shoulder once more as they leave the control room and then follows the other members of his team.

    Tali turn to the rest of the Sub group

    " lets move " She gives then the new sub group freq lets " walk and talk people "

    She then stalks off to the far express elevator to the sub sections.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 265 ✭✭FlashBang


    holsters his weapon and follows the group


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,044 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    Tal'Einea gathers the facts in her head and twistes them about.

    lvl 8 sla op wraith raiders as standard security,

    Commander due to retire , prolly on a ****y pension,

    a package that is reactant to flux and they get a crew with two wasters and a ebon for babysitting,

    they gona move this thing by public transport,

    and they cant apprenlty handle a breach of the station despite all the high tech and plans for just this type of thing.

    ok Fine she thinks they think they can se me and this crew for dupes , we are just going to have to bugger them first.

    [Game turn 9a]

    Power on the station suddenly fails you hear a Computers voice activate (in typical star trek fasion) [EMEGERENCY SYSTEM LIGHTING ACTIVATED]

    and an eerie red glow illumates the corridor

    after a few seconds the Grav drive fails and you find yourself floating up into the air


    byuu says "well i guess this would constitue a catastrophic system failure the doors are most probably opening as we speak"


    The computers voice can is herd again [RESTORING GRAV DRIVE NOW] ....... and you are all thrown back down onto the floor

    the lights are still out though.

    the captian coms your team: [see Coms channel thread]


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,531 ✭✭✭Drakar


    Crashing noisilly to the station's hard decks, Spirit clunks her head in a rather uncoordinated way. Accompaning similar sounds inform her that others in the area have also retured to earth so to speak.

    Rising gingerly, she looks around quickly, spotting nothing suspect she brushes herself off somewhat annoyed. Fingering the small bump forming on the side of her head, she fumes momentarilly, before mentally shrugging off the emotion.

    The captains com chatter does little to reassure her as to his competance or the station's security. Feeling a rising level of determination within her, she silently looks to Tal'Eania, Steiner and Tank, waiting for them to begin moving onwards again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,044 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    Tali'Einea blinks as the lights goes out and stands with her arms folder tapping a crimson nail against her jacket sleve .
    Once the anti Grav fails she lets her self go limp knowing the secondary systems will kick in momentarily, she floats slowly from the deck and then floats gracfully back down once gravity is restored.

    She glaces at the crumples heap at is Spirit and rolls her eyes.

    She coms her group , " those of you at need to apply your nightvision do so,
    any injuries worth mentioning ? "

    She uses the open group comms " wow that was really neath Byuu , glad i didnt ask about what happens with a major hull breach that woud blow out all the air.

    So if they could not access the rest of station until now that means they are enroute to the lab, are we still splitting or what cos we can allget to the labs a hell of a lot fater then they can ? "


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 914 ✭✭✭Specky


    Zmek moves quickly to join Tal'eania, heading in the direction of the emergency docking ring.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,266 ✭✭✭Rnger


    Byuu looks around confused as they chatter away and joins Zmek and Tal'eania's group.

    "I know this place better then any of you, emergenecy docking ring? Follow me."

    Byuu walks off leading whoever will follow.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,044 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    Tali'Einea stops at the lift door and turn and looks at Byuu.
    " oh really how nice of you to decide to guide us but you forgot somthing lil lizzard, We do infact have a chain of command here and a leader so you had best check what you have taken upon yourslef to do with that leader. it is Squall you have mmet i do belive he is the large and not looking too happy Shaktar standing just over there.

    Be glad that it is him you must deal with for this slight and not me. "


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 914 ✭✭✭Specky


    Zmek sneers at the wraith raider, "you make friends so quickly, you really must give me a few pointers on your social techniques...I doubt you'll be getting a card from Tali on your next birthday...if you make it that far"

    "the other squad members place a lot of store by the command structure...we went to SUCH a lot of trouble to elect the Shaktar, it'd be a shame if all that effort went to waste now wouldn't it?"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,345 ✭✭✭Squall


    "Yes and Zmek more than any of the rest have tryed their best to ensure it runs as smoothly as possible. Isnt that right Waster"

    "Byuu, your with me and the others, we need someone who knows the corridors and lab area so we can setup an effective defense"

    "Im sure they can find their way"

    "Lets get moving"

    *Squall readies his weapons and moves off towards the labs*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 914 ✭✭✭Specky


    Zmek raises his eyebrows and put on an expression of surprised innosence as he listens to Squall "Why, I don't know what you could mean squad leader..."

    "of course, a good leader is measured by the missions he has succesfully completed..." he allows the sentence to trail off as he follows Tali.

    He glimpses Spirit from the corner of his eye as they move away towards the elevator and fights a sudden knot of hatred that grips his stomach. An ebon. A female ebon. Filthy betrayers!

    Long years had taught him to conceal the outward expressions of the feelings but inside he seethed still with the tangle of emotions recalled from his early childhood. Powerful ebons he had met in the academy but he could never grow to admire or respect them. Inwardly he dispised, he begrudged, he envied. But most of all he hated.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 51 ✭✭Gaunt


    Gaunt laughed silently to himself as he followed Squall and Byuu-
    It seemed Zmek had found a newbie torment.
    Toying with the newest team member seemed to be a running team with him, regardless of the recent creation of the team itself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,236 ✭✭✭AL][EN


    Apologies for the delay in posting the game turn i've been working nights
    The next game turn is broken down as follows:


    - - - - - -

    Team 1 : going after stealth ship

    Zmek
    Tal'Einea
    Spirit

    - - - - - - - - - -

    Team 2: Guarding the package

    tank
    squall
    Steiner
    byuu
    Flashbang

    - - - - - - - - - -


    Team 1's game turn:

    As the team head down the confined corridors towards the emergency docking ring you are currently on sublevel 3d the Lab Equipment Storage area. Its Baiscally a very large werehouse full of various crates boxes and steel drums some are label "this way up"
    and "do not open" and "biohazard materials" your about halfway through this level roughly 200 meters to the next stairwell that leads to Sublevel 3e when all of a sudden from Tal'Einea side come BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP its her motion tracker which states that there is movment to the east 55M away and closing fast unidentified signals of movemnt are coming your way there appears to be plenty of cover to hide in but 3 of you suddenly feel the power of the ebb being channeled raw Flux! the tempptaion to reach out for it yourself is formost in your minds to feel the power corsing through your veins with alot of effort and concentration you all resist the urge to draw on the power youself..... god you think to youself that was alot of Flux being channeled!!!! the movement tracker now says 45 Meters and still closing....

    - - - - - - - - -

    Team 2's Game turn:

    You all reach the target with ease and little in the way of distractions currently your on level 4 of the station the Bio labs its difficult to see even 10 meters in front of you and the emergency lighting gives everything a eriee red glow. shadows dance around you and small sounds such as heat and power lines seem sharper giving a detached feeling. Its like something out of one of those cheesy B-movies you used to watch as a kid.

    Setteling your nerves you all reach the destination to find the secience crew busy at work packing up equipment and storing research data on portable laptops and harddrives
    Dr raynes comes over to you and says "were almost ready to go shouldnt be too long more"
    the room is a 10 X 8 foot room with 2 large tables in the middle and a bench that circles the room its a standard science lab with all the bobbles gizmo's and gadgets you'd expect to see in a science lab. In the corner is a VERY large crate with a large box its cased in lead and some sort of metal you dont recognise with weird runes and archane symbols that seem to glow red there almost too hard to look and start to make your eyes sore if you look at them for too long that must be the other package you reckon.

    All of a sudden from out of nowhere the motion tracker at tanks side starts beeping BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP it reads mutiple signals to the north of the room (you all came in the north door) about 55M out and closing in your direction. The lighting is still out so moving around is still a little tricky the room and corridor still isnt secure you should have about another game turn to try to secure the room next door and its adjacent corridor if you hurry as for taking up defensive positions well thats where the fun begins......

    - - - - - - - -


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,044 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    Tali'Einea finishes with her comms and looks about, No door no corridoors.

    " Right " she hisses " hide now, let them pass tilll we see what we are dealing with and no flaming channling other wise we loose what ever advantage we currently have "

    Once she hears from squall she will order
    comms silence.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,266 ✭✭✭Rnger


    Byuu instantly walks over to the tables

    "Any of this stuff expensive?" Byuu says as he grabs the table
    "Well..." Dr. Raynes mutters,
    "Wait" he realises, takes his rifle of his back, loads ti with a STD clip, burst fire, and looks up at Squall.

    "I already got enough of them giving out about you. What now CO?" he says slightly sarcasticly applying the infra red scope, silencer and flash surpresser.

    Before letting squall to answer "Raynes stick with me for the time being" he quickly says, patting himself down to make sure flashbangs are all there and swings his rifle over his shoulder again taking out his pistol from his thigh holster, takes a STD clip from his front pocket and loads.

    He looks straight ahead for a moment and then turns his head to squall

    "Well?" he says then holsters his pistol and takes his motion tracker out


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 914 ✭✭✭Specky


    The sudden, unexpected signal from the motion tracker spins Zmek around, gash fishes extending with a menacing shhnikk!

    He is already moving towards cover when he feels the wave of ebb, causing him to pause for a moment, almost as if sniffing the air, eyes wide at the feeling of so much flux.

    "At this point I believe it is traditional for someone to say 'I have a bad feeling about this'" his muttered comment is lost in the expanse of the store room.

    Choosing a location between some solid looking 1m high metalic storage containers on the opposite side of the walkway running through the middle of the store room from Tal'Einea and Spirit, Zmek squats. Retracting the gash fishes now that the initial rush of aggression has passed, he briefly checks his weapons, loosening a flash bang grenade in it's pocket.

    The dimness of the emergency lighting didn't help in locating the enemy. He takes out his night vision goggles and quickly scans the room in the direction Tali indicated the targets were moving in from, careful to move slowly and maintain his cover.

    "How nice of you to consult me Byuu" *Stares coldly in Byuu's direction*

    "Tank give us a hand here, Lets use these tables to block the corridor. Steiner, Gaunt check this room for any other entrances, vents, airshafts anything. I dont want any suprises"

    "Once we get these tables in place get in position. Were going to need to lay down a supressing fire. Watch your shots and keep explosives to a minimum, use Hollow point rounds if youve got them. ide rather not take a spacewalk today"

    *Taps his coms and speaks to Tal'Eania* (Coms thread)

    *Squall Turns to Raynes* "You work with dangerous materials right? There must be some safety measures incase something goes wrong. Is there anyway to release this section if we need to? or seal off that corridor?"
