Rebirth
(I'd like to try something new. This is something we can do in the interim between sessions if you enjoy it. Describe your actions and dialog just like normal and we will see how this goes.)
Your certain your alive. Death cannot hurt this much. Your skin is warm and wet and your body is cold, but these sensations are distant in comparison to the pain. You hear a dark raspy chuckle that should be familier put you can't quite place it...and beeping?...what could be bee...
You awaken to the sound of metal clattering on metal and the sound of cursing.."Osik, what a mess. Gather up the remains, they deserve a proper...wait, my god their alive! BAAR'UR!" Another familiar voice exclaims as darkness retakes you.
Arkan and Nax[sblock]Is this death? Finally the pain is removed, the biting cold and sense of great weariness pass as your invigorated, warmed and refreshed. "There is no death, only the force." You find yourselves sitting cross legged in unfamilier grey robes speaking with your deceased friend, Samael. "Quite a ride we had eh? Sorry mine ended so soon. I appear to you here to aid you. While I can no longer travel with you I can help unlock your latent potential, and give you a small portion of my power." He rises and touches your foreheads and you both feel something unlock in your mind. His calm baritone echoes as if from far away. "I'm sorry I can not yet do more...May the force be with you." [/sblock]
Kandosii[sblock]War, war never changes. It's always pain, terror, and death. And hard work. You remember you where once very good at the work part. Battles across dozens of systems hardened you into a fearsome killing machine. The only thing that softened your heart was the small smile your warrior-wife gave you so rarely. When your mating ritual was complete, when your youngling entered the galaxy, when she died without fear in the face of the horrible monster defending you and your son. You remember now, the smell of burned flesh and fresh blood, the taste of your own bile and the enormously loud rippijng metal sound as your ship crashed into the forests near your home...But you cannot remember why... [/sblock]
Shardus[sblock]You feel weightless as your mind wanders among the careful compartments your training instilled in you, weapons training, how to lie with your eyes and body, the controls of a hundred different ships and how to repair them, and your tightly controlled emotions, buried so deep you sometimes forget you have them. But now you know fear...and anger. Blinding pain suddenly engulfs your every thought and you see a new compartment, one alien and yet well known, fearsome and comforting...[/sblock]
"Su cuy'gar!" A rumbling voice yells. You float in a blue tinted oil suspending you. "I'm sorry, the damage was extensive..." Arkan you feel a weight pulling at your shoulders and steel bands around your chest and see small handprints on the glass of your tank. Nax you note angrily that your fur is now completely blackened and that you feel a barely controlled rage and that all you see is tinted in red. Verda you notice that both your hearts beat with the rythmic thumping of the artificial one, you've lost the thing your wife cared most for, your heart. Shardus normally you can control every aspect of your body with extreme precision but now you feel something heavy and cold inside your your head, just below your brain. "Lets get you out of there."
