[ooc: As I try to get back into things, thought this might be a good start. Delete if it's too late.]

Recruit Buri zipped up his uniform and made sure he was in good order before he stepped out in the passageway that led to the lift and then the the landing bay. It had been his families dream to see a son aboard a ship like this and he was the first attempt. There just wasn't any money anymore in the low-end technical work his father knew and they were counting on him.

Having resigned himself to make the best of things, he had chosen the landing bay and after stowing his gear he was on his way to his first shift. Maybe he could get some kind of skill that he could take back to help his family. He heard there was some good money in space freighter tours.

"One more thing," Windfield says. "Will you be staying with the Colonial Marines or rejoining me on the bridge in tatical?"

Recruit...ahem...Petty Office Dupree took a deep breath, and looked around him. What he saw was a dream...a group of the Federation's finest, most honorable, most trusted and trustworthy, and most virtous. The men and women who risked their lives, day by day...even more then the rest of the fleet, in order to protect the Federation.

Sitting forward, he smiled. "Well, sir.." And then he stopped himself. Turning, he took another look. And this time, the image wasn't as crystal clear. This time, he looked beyond the uniforms, at the people. A group of battle hardened soldiers, several showing healed injuries on their faces and arms. All looked like they'd been through a hell of a lot..

And..thats really what stood out. Matt couldn't help but remember all the old WWII movies he'd watched, featuring the one worn out, ragtag veteran unit. This unit wasn't ragtag at all, no...but they certainly were worn out. Did he want to turn out that way?

Furthermore...they were soldiers. Not naval officers, as he hoped to be. Not captains...God forbit he ever make it there. As he looked at them, he couldn't help but remember the bridge fight only a few minutes before. He'd done well, at least, as well as could be expected. But these men had saved his life at least three times, often risking their own by leaving their cover to do so.

Soldiers...Dupree had barely made it through basic training. His ability with small arms was really the only thing that let him go on to advanced training without being flunked out. He could run, sure, and lift his weight for a short time, if necesary. But...that was about it. He didn't have the endurance, the physical ability, the tolerance...he wasn't a soldier.

"No." Matt said, thinking aloud. "I'm no soldier..no marine." He looked at the Luitenant incharge of the boarding party. "I'm sorry, sir."

Turning, he faced Winfield. "No, sir. I'm a sailor..or a space cadet..or whatever PC term they've come out with recently. I'd love to return to the bridge, sir, and serving in tactical, especially, would be a great honor."

Dupree knew he wouldn't be the Tactical Head. But hey, even being allowed to work at the station work at the station would be nice. Shooting had always been his thing...that and tactics. And politics. And...Matt shook his head. He really had to stop with this inner diologue stuff.

Landing Bay


Buri made his way to the landing bay. With the recent aqusition of a Cloax Battle Cruiser, this Battleship's landing bay was busy.

"I want that ship scanned top to bottom!" Ducky yelled. "Those Clox have a nasty tendency to boobytrap their ships."

A deck hand approaches him, "Sir! In coming Courier Ship!"

"Thanks!" Ducky said as he reviewed his holopad. Then he saw Buri in his uniform. "Ah, you must be the newest recruit. Listen we have a situation here. We need either a piolt or a deck hand and fast! So the question is which one are you?"

"Dad! He's coming to!" Dr. Cameron Homes said, as she passed Ayatol's R-Chamber.

Ayatol stirred. By Aoura, he hurt all over... And he couldn't go anywhere as he was naked inside a tube filled with healing fluids.

"How the hell he survived that is beyond me..." Dr. Gerg Mallone repled. "Cameron, go talk to your husband while I comfort the nugget."

Ayatol opened his eyes he had no idea where he was or what just happened, "Where am I?"

"You're in the ER section of the Medical Wing." Greg replied. "As you may see you are in an R-Chamber. It'll take a while for your injuries to heal, but don't worry, my staff has never failed me. So, tell me what happened to you. You have acid burns and had one nasty fall in the Jefferies Tube."

"PARANAS FOREVER!" The CM's yell.

Cargo Loading Area


"This is the Zander Freighter," Ducky says as he shows Buri a massive ship with bright orange cargo containers. "This ship is armed with two turbo lasers and a missle launcher. She is a little sluggish when she carries her cargo tail at sub light, can't ignore Newton's inertal laws can we?"

Coughs. "Anyway, your mission will be to bring a supply of water to an outer rim station called Black Hole Central. It's a rough station, with some of the most dangerous or wreched sentients in the galaxy, but it should be no problem for you. Your mission is simple. Deliver the Water to the station and trade the balance for parts. We need 500 million Trax microchips and a few other parts." Hands Buri a pad with what's needed. "Think you can handle it?"

SHOULD YOU...
Accept the mission
Ask if there's another position open

In a moment any romantic notions Buri maintained about freighter piloting vanished. "You can count on me." As he made sure his emergency gear was handy he turned to Ducky. "Don't suppose a recruit can ask for a sidearm in case things get a little rough."

Matt turned. "I'd love to, if ya don't mind."

The CM shook his head. "Hey, whether your joining up or not, that still was a hell of a fight. Anyone, regardless of what they do, deserves a good drink after surviving it."

Dupree nodded, and, standing, followed the group of CMs as they left the bridge. Ships Security had already boarded the Battle Cruiser, and cleaned the rest of it out for crewmembers...the only ones on board now were several teams of men wearing heavy black clothing, with Bomb Squad stenciled on the back.

As they left the ship, the CMs stopped, and dropped off their weapons and gear with a couple of the ships securitymen. Turning, they motioned to Matt, and left the bay, Dupree close in tow, for the ships Brewery.

Lokin, still trying to gather his senses and surroundings, looked all around him.

"Damn, for my first day, I sure as hell had a good way of being welcomed to this ship, " replied Lokin when the doc asked him what happened.

"Well, " he said, and just remembered. How the hell did he manage to get out? "Wait, how the hell did I manage to get out? Where's the engineering officer or Lt. Gorgos? I'll answer your question, but I want to speak to them as well," he said. He didn't mind talking to the doc about med things, but he was uncomfortable talking about what he was doing in the tube with him without his engineering superiors present...

***OOC: Sorry I'm Late. Let me know if this pushes anything.***

Pod Area

Vrin had always wanted to see the stars, however the Pax government had assigned his position in life, as it did for all drones. He hated being a miner overloard, but it was his duty. He seethed on the iside, desperatly wanting to see what he could accomplish in life. It wasn't often that an Arkane sentient was born... why should they waste his talents in a mine? That was until the alliance was forged. The star alliance had greatly increased the Pax range of influence in space, and had opened up many new fronts for expansion, however, even the pax didn't have the resources to start spreading at a horrendous rate. They needed explorers, and put in a call for anyone that would like to leave the saftey of the Hive linked systems for the unknown parts of the rest of the galaxy. Vrin almost shit himself when he hear the call...

'Finally' he thought, 'I can get off this forsaken rock...'

He hated that he had to be loaded in a pod, and couldnt just blast through space as the others did. Something about carapace based creatures though... The catapults didn't agree with them... So he was suspended until he could be released into service. He was happy that he was able to keep his nominal rank, being the only crew member not of the Imatronian held territories, but he knew as an overlord, rank meant jack shit in space... He went over his designations in his ead as he awoke from suspension.

'Landing Bay... Need to find it...'

The pod cracked... It was a grotesque sight to most non-egg laying creatures. A throwback in evolutionary timing. More effective with the carapace though. Vrin stuck his antenae out of the cracked pod and streched his 8 appendages. He could smell the stench of humanity, and the ozone smelling interior of a starship... He stepped out of the pod and waited for his eyes to adjust.

Ducky smiled. "Of course. Were you're going you'll need it. Look under the seat in the suit case. You've got a pistol and an assult rifle there." Shakes his hand. "Good Luck!"

"Thanks!" Buri said as he began the preflight check up. And with all systems green, he activated the antigravity plates and retracted the landing gear.

The Freighter rose in the air and crused towrds the bay doors. The atmospheric sheild went up and the freighter exited the bay. Once in safe range, Buri activated the hyperdrive and was off to Black Hole Central.

Exiting hyperspace, Buri looked out at the Exeron galaxy's arms, and at the gas giant below. Something caught his eye, a ship he'd never seen before.

The Brewery
Murphy's Bar


Needless to say there is always a crowd at Murphy's Bar. It was a rare occasion that there was an actual bar on a ship, when most alcoholic beverages could be procured at the mess hall (though they weren't as good as the ones made on site).

Naturally, most of the sentinets there were dressed in soldier uniforms or were piolts. One particular piolt gang was there that caught Dupree's eyes. The Galabirds!

These piolts were arguably the best in the galaxy, and would even be at air-space shows when they had the time. They could fly their fighters exactly six inches away from one another even under combat and never break the formation! Talk about mad skills!

The Marines, being hard boiled and all ordered really strong drinks. Dupree meanwhile milled over the menu. By Aoura! Every drink in the galaxy must be on it!

"I'll get Lt. Gorgos shortly." Dr. Mallone says. "So tell me what the hell happened."

When he finishes Mallone looks at him and says, "That's some story you have there kid. I have a funny feeling you were seeing things and ended up breaking a few pipes and hoses in the Jeffreies Tubes. We call it 'space maddness'."

Ayatol was worried. How can he prove what he saw and did.

"Not to worry Recruit," Lt. Gorgos says as he enters the room with a plastic box. "I beleive you." He opens it and shows Mallone a peice of the lump inside the box. "What do you think?"

"By Aoura! That looks like an over grown bacteria! Get that to SCI-LAB's medical division at once.

"All ready done sir," Gorgos says. "I thought you'd like a crack at this."

"Yes, I would," Mallone takes the box.

Matt looked over the menu quickly, feeling the urge to order his drink with the rest of the group. Yet, even as the last of the CMs finished, he wasn't sure what to get.

Motioning to the bartender, he set the menu down. "What do you suggest?"

"You drink a lot?"

Dupree laughed. "'fraid not."

"Well, Saurian Brandy is my suggestion, then. One of few alcoholic drinks that are good tasting..but then, it is only 180 proof."

180 Proof? Matt thought to himself. Then he remembered that Earth's system wasn't the same used everywhere else..indeed, that meant the drink was only 30% alcohal. "I'll take a glass of that, please."

"1 Saurian Brandy, coming right up." The bartender said, as another bartender worked on the large load of pure alcohol drinks ordered by the CMs.

Turning, Matt eyed the group's medic, who he'd been pinned down next to on the bridge. "So...ya'll see a lot of combat round these parts?"

The medic nodded. "More then you could imagine..."

OOC: Eh, its your galaxy, making up what kind of stuff is in it isn't my ability..

Buri looked at the screen and remembered what he had read from the freighter specs. "The long, quiet passages between ports of call make the Zander Freighter popular with poets, scholars, and others who seek solitude." Somehow he didn't think his experience would be so quiet as the manual or the simulator were.

IMATRON SAYS:+1 Challange Point (Reference)

With a sigh he slowed the freighter some and turned the scanners to the odd ship. "Freighter Zander Beta to Corvette. Unknown ship on scanner. Slowing to investigate. I don't want any surprises on my tail." As the computer analyzed the ship, his hands hovered over the fire controls. "Hope this turns out ok."

After unpacking and putting on his uniform Vrin. Vrinreported to duty.

"Welcome Deckhand!" Lugnut says. "You're just in time. We have a Captured Clox Crusier we're looking over care to join us?"

"Why not?" Vrin replies.

The medic took a long pause. "You know, being a medic has to be one of the worst jobs in the Federation."

"How so?" Dupree asked.

"Simple," The Medic replied. "If you want to see things you'll never see anywhere else become a medic. MASH units have it easier than us feild units, but it's all the same. You try to save lives in a situation that is meant to take them. And there's no certainty to this job. You can operate on someone in the feilod and an hour later they die."
"And this war is differnet than any other war. The Energex don't care about territory, resources or sentient power. This war is about our right to exist. And Aoura knows they're just itching to wipe out all life as we know it. It makes you think. And the more questions you ask about this whole thing, the less answers you find. And then, you just stop asking. And you do your job."
"Trust me kid, in two weeks we're going back to the frontline. You'll see what happens. And since you're going to be on the bridge, you're going to see the hell Windfield goes through."

Gorgos looked at Ayatol. "Clearly, your experience has blocked you from remembering that knowledge is very important around here. Dispite what you think that organism should be studied.

Matt nodded. "I guess I will. But then, thats what I signed up for, isn't it? Especially after Winfield gave me an option out, rejoining you after we retook the Clox Battlecruiser."

The medic smiled. "He has a habit of doing that. Testing his officers, and then giving them the option of leaving. That way, he only keeps the officers that are both dedicated to being there, and resourceful."

Taking another swig of his drink, Dupree laughed. "You can say that again. I mean, going from finding out that the Clox are calling for reinforcements to firing ship weapons to boarding the vess..." He cut himself off. The reinforcements. It was almost as if they'd been forgotten...well, no. Winfield probably remembered them, or one of the more then capable bridge staff members..

But what if they didn't? What if there were more Clox incoming, and no one knew? Christ...Matt had just been put on tactical. If they were coming....

Turning, he looked around. "There an intercom in here?"

The medic nodded, motioning to the far wall. "Right over there. Whats up?"

"Nothing...probably." Dupree jumped up, ignoring the look of curiosity on the medics face, and rushed through the bar's crowd, slamming into a number of officers and higher ranked enlistedmen. Apologizing as quickly as he could, he continued making his way through the crowd, finally reaching the intercom.

Pulling it off the wall, he took a breath. To call Winfield directly would be an insult to the Supreme Commander's intelligence, at least, if Winfield had remembered. Matt needed a way of assesing the information without contacting the captain directly.

A thought occured to him. Smiling, he spoke into the phone. "Connect me to communications station, bridge; Lieutenant Claris. Private call."

"Awknowledged. Connecting."

OOC: lol, not trying to push your RP here, Imatron. But the thought did occur to me. What about the other Clox?

Vrin smiled in the way the Arkane could.

"I think I'm going to comb the exterior of the ship. I'm curious as to how those weapons work."

Vrin took his tools and the neccassary precautionary speeches from the head of staff, silently mumbling about how he had pulled apart much better systems than anything the Clox could possibly have. Once finished he skittered over to the ship. He had to be impressed at the engineering that some races could pull off.

'Oh well.' He thought as he began his climb to the weapon mounts.

Matt waited for the connection. Lt. Claris picked up on the intercom, "Ah, Mr. Dupree. What can I do for you?"

Dupree franically explained the situation.

"Calm down. Calm down! The Supreme Commander sent a squad of A1-Interceptors to partol the area. Naturally, the other Clox DID come. And when they saw the Corvette on their scanners they concoted a story that they were trying to capture some rouge elements. They've been demanding we surrender our prisoners and their ship, but they're not going to get far there."

Dupree hears Windfield's voice near Claris. Then he hears Windfield himself, "Ah, Petty Officer Dupree, nice to see your initiative. Don't worry, the situation is under control. We beat the Clox Empire 200 years ago, and they haven't messed with us since."

[OOC: During the days when the Fourth Alliance fell, the Clox sided with the Energex. The Exeron Federation clobbered the Clox realively quickly. The Clox have tried multiple times to rejoin the Energex, but are outcasts to both the Fifth Alliance and the Energex. It's a weird part of the backstory I haven't ironed out yet...]

Vrin looked at the weapons as he scanned and checked the ship for anything, making careful mental notes on how these systems worked.

Hmm... Interesting... Vrin thought as he looked over the weapons. They were not as advanced as the Federation's weapons, but a few of the design aspects were very clever. Efficent even.

As Vrin examined the Clox version of the turbo laser he saw something out of the corner of his eye. He walked over under the wing when he saw something on it. Some sort of ball of something that didn't look like it belonged.

Vrin looked at the ball weighing his options.

'Well, no one in the Pax ever got anywhere playing it safe. Besides, I'm more or less a tank in this carapace', Vrin thought to himself.


He picked op his tools and sittered towards the ball intent on finding out what it was.

Dupree whiped his brow. "Good to know, sir. Thank Lt. Claris for me."

"Will do. Bridge out." The line cut, and Matt hung up the phone. Turning, he made his way back to the bar, where the CMs were still drinking, and resumed his seat next to the medic. "What keeps you around, then? From what you tell me, the war with the Energex is pretty horrible...especially for a medic."

The man shrugged. "Loyalty. Integrity. I've asked myself that question a lot lately. I don't really know the answer." Turning, he faced Matt. "Frankly, I think its fear that keeps me here. Fear of what might happen if even one less man is fighting them. Fear of what would happen to me if I returned home for no apparent reason. Fear of what I would do...I'm not sure I could stand being a regular old doctor or paramedic."

"Helluva reason to stay." Matt said.

"Cheers to that." The medic replied, taking a swig of his drink. "So, here I am. Helping the most experienced and best trained troops in the Federation. Hard to believe I'm one of them."

"Cheers to that." Matt said, smiling. "So, whadya all do around here in your spare time?"

Vrin swore in his native tounge, which must have sounded like hell to the people in hearing range <loud ass screeches>.

'Damn it, it figures this would happen. Well I've worked with explosives in the mine before, I might as well try and defuse this one. No time to get the squads up here.'

Vrin put out a general warning on his communicator and pulled out his particle manipulator. It was a Pax tool yes, but one he would risk his life on. He searched for a weakpoint in the bomb, and tried to determine what type of bomb it was.

"After all, we don't want this thing to rape everyone else, now do we?" he said with a grin then moved around in the R-Chamber to get a feel for his current capsule. "Yea, this is a great way to start first day on the job. I get raped by an alien life form, with acid nonetheless. Speaking of which, how bad was I burned, and how soon can I return back to duty?

Not wanting to risk the entire cargo on what could be a trap, Buri sent out a hail and maintained his distance. Nothing else showed on the scanners at the moment, but he had a bad feeling there was something missing. Just one more minute and he was going to get moving.

PACKILVANIA:
Landing Bay

The Clox Cruiser


Vrin looked over the schematics on his PET. The engineering on this thing was strange. For once this was a quailtiy peice of machinary for the Clox.

Vrin determined that he either had to pull a certain circut board, or cut the main red, blue and black wires.

SHOULD YOU...
Pull the circut board
Cut the wires



WACHOVIA:
Orbit of Planet Lavithin

Zander Freighter


Buri pressed the hail button, "Unidentified ship, this is Starfleet Zander Freighter Thor's Hammer, you are flying an unmarked, unregistered ship. Please identify yourself."

A few tense moments pass. No responce. The ship maintains its course, as it slowly moves closer to the planet and further away from the station...

SHOULD YOU...
Try another hail
Get in closer

"Well, there are lots of things to do around here," the medic replied. "There's always the simulation room, the VR pods, Navi battles, a walk in the ship's gardens, and we have a full entertainment complex. Heck, we can play Gravball if we wanted to. And there are rumors of a doo-whop band starting up. I guess the question is what isn't there to do?"

GOVINDIA
Medical Wing

R-Chamber


"You were burnt pretty badly. Luckly, most of the damage seems to be repaired. The doctors estimate you'll be ready in a day or two to resume active duty." Gorgos replied. "You'll have your assignment as soon as you're ready."

Vrin looked at the wiring harness.

'Here goes ntohing...' He thought.

He pulled the board and braced himself.

Lokin nodded through the glass. "Any idea what happened after I blacked out, and how you managed to capture the thing? I'm curious as to what the hell happened after my....encounter," he said, shuddering at the thought he was raped by that ....thing.

Matt laughed. "I guess so. But, for the moment. I think I'll just catch some sleep."

The medic nodded. "Name is Kowlin, by the way. Let me know if your sitting around doing nothing off-duty some time. You may not be part of the team, but you could still come hang with us."

"Thanks." Matt said. As he stood, he shook the mans hand, and was about to leave when the medic turned to him.

"Say, Matt, if the ship ever gets attacked....and your not on the bridge, or doing something, come to Security Point C-A4."

Matt blinked. "Why?"

"Because, thats where our team assembles. And if your not on the bridge, it'll be nice to have you around."

Matt smiled. "Will do...cya around, man."

"See ya."

Buri frowned. This wasn't feeling right. One more hail and he was back to mission. There were others who could follow up on this. "Unidentified ship, this is Starfleet Zander Freighter Thor's Hammer, you are flying an unmarked, unregistered ship. Please identify yourself."

[DM ANNOUNCEMENT: I shall revert to second person for your characters. You may post in first person if you wish. You are your own character here...]

PACKILVANIA:
Landing Bay

Cloax Crusider


You pulls the circuit board out and... the countdown stops. You scan the bomb and sees it is disarmed. However, it is still attached to the ship, and sensors indicate that the clamps that are attached to the cruiser can still detonate it if jostled.

SHOULD YOU...
Try to remove it yourself.
Tell your CO about what's happened.


OOC: If you had cut the wires this layer would have been a decoy layer. :P


WACHOVIA:
Other side of Gas Giant Lavithin

Zander Freighter


The ship you were persuing suddenly reverses thrust and gets behind you. It then seems to split in to two different ships. One of the ships hails you.

"This is the Mechanon ships Darkwing and Deadwind. You will surrender your cargo at once or be destroied."

SHOULD YOU...
Fight
Flee
Surrender


FREE PACIFIC STATES:
SHOULD YOU...

Return to duty (Time Skip will occur)
Roam the ship some more (Real Time will continue)


GOVINDIA:
Medical Bay

A doctor approaches, "In due course I will tell you about how Haz-Mat contained the creature," Gorgos tells you.

"Get some rest." The doctor says, "You'll be cleared for duty soon."

SHOULD YOU...
Resume active duty
Stay in sick bay a little longer


DM RULING I will now allow FPS And Govindia to go back to mission duties.
