The Long Journey home, shipside 1

[Universal_narration]

The group feels a bit divided over their last mission, tensions are high but squads Echo and Sierra may work out their differences yet. The captain and vice captain (Bauhdric and Ghost) find themselves in the commodore's office. He begins by saying, "So any words before we start?" He looks over to Ghost, Ghost knows what this is about. Bauhdric might be unawares to this point but Ghost isn't sure how much the commodore will divulge at this meeting.

The rest of the ship is quiet, as per normal. The passengers have gotten used to the quiet between planetside missions. It seems that they aren't bothered as long as they don't get close to other star systems. The problem though is they of course need resources for their way home. That isn't to say something might go wrong and they might get attacked but in all, the occupants of the Wanderer prefer to keep up the quiet if they can.

OOC: Most of the NPCs are in where you'd normally find them for the moment, so what would people like to do to kick of this R&R before the next mission?

 

['Ghost']

Ghost stands sharp, as he begins.

For the benefit of captain Bhaudric I shall repeat my report. Planetside we learned the indigenous praised the bots as deities. After establishing a link with a village, we learned of a central location that was originally a production factory for the toasters. Sierra specialises in stealth so I volunteered myself to infiltrate the facility to get a closer look. Private Zhukov joined me on the ground, private Zhukova scouted from the air. The infiltration was successful and we found ourselves inside the central processing facility.

He takes a moment to catch his breath as he recounts the details of the events, knowing full well it wasn't going to go down well with Captain Bhaudric.

Upon entering we found a large ship, assumed to belong to the toasters, myself and Private Zhukov continued infiltrating and we entered the vessel. Inside we found a large repository of toaster tech' including some models we had never seen before, they were largely intact. I radioed through to the captain and informed him of the find, asking if he had any ideas how we could take the tech' without disturbing the indigenous. I informed the captain force was an option but was listening for alternatives. No-one raised any alternatives so private Zhukova suggested that it be left to Sierra. Captain Bhaudric agreed and returned to the initial village. The objective of this mission was information, I believed this too good an opportunity to pass up and authorised the use of force. We used scare tactics to cause most of the indigenous to flee but some refused to leave. After firing warning shots it was clear they had only one idea in mind, and that was to attack Sierra. Sierra fought back, with the technological advantage success was assured. I can confirm five kills, I have no confirmation of any others.

He stands to attention, not moving from his spot and his gaze not faltering.

I accept full responsibility for the actions of myself and my squad. I made the call.

With that he stands at ease and waits to see how Captain Bhaudric will react and how the Commodore see's his course of action. In his mind he had completed his mission, and with minimal casualties. This was a survival situation, and the laws of evolution clearly state survival of the fittest. There's no telling what they could learn about the toasters from the remains, not to mention they may not get another chance to get their hands on so much information as easily next time. Though he knew the Captain would probably not see it that way.

OOC: It's good to be back ^^

Raymond

"Arthur? Arthur? You reading me, ey? We've got a pair of bodacious dates to pick up!"

Raymond spoke into his comm. He was too busy making sure his vintage Blu-rays were all in working order to call Arthur specifically,so the message was broadcast to both Echo and Sierra as that was his last setting. He seemed alot chirpier than earlier, whatever had sent him out of whack earlier had evidently blown over. Right? Yeah, thats what he told himself, anyway.

 

[Arthur Campbell]

"I'll be there shortly private Morissette, I just need to finish my work here" ​
Arthur finished off what little remained of his private stash of explosives and looked a the small pile of tiny bombs that lay before him. They weren't fatal but they were certainly a good distraction and could cause damage if used correctly. He didn't really care about this date Raymond had set up, but it might ease this boredom that was gnawing at him. Arthur sighed and his made his way to Raymond, KABOOM trundling along at his side. Upon reaching his teammate he stood there and looked at him as blankly as ever.

OOC: Sorry for the slow reply, MCM got in the way

 

[Ray Ray]

"You came! Not that I thought you weren't going to show,ey? And you brought the bot! Chicks dig robots."

(OOC: If only Kaboom was a -giant- robot. Fighting urge.. to sing... theme tune...)

 

[Arthur Campbell]

Arthur rolled his eyes "Of course I did, I'm a professional, and Kaboom has to follow me around or it'll get lost or blow itself up or something. It wouldn't be the first time". He sighed and nudged kaboom with his boot "So Morissette, what did you have in mind?"

 

[Ray Ray]

"Well I did tell her we were meeting here but...wouldn't it be a surprise ey if we rocked up to pick them up? And don't worry about the technical details, Player is all hooked up, all 1094 disks are in perfect working order to my knowledge, and I've made sure we are not disturbed, private Arthur." He motioned to a hastily scrawled sign he'd attached to the door to their quarters which read 'Action-packed awesome zone, disturb at your peril' with 2 hastily scrawled stickmen riding on a rocket beside it. "See, thats you and thats me, ey?"

 

[Arthur Campbell]

Arthur eyed the picture "Yes. I see the resemblance. I intend to stay here,​ they can make their own way over when they are ready as per any agreement you made with them. I have to ask though what do you hope to gain from this venture?"

 

[Ray Ray]

"There is much to gain my explosive-inclined friend,ey? 2 girls, 2 guys, the most romantic action films in my collection; Anything could happen in the heat of the moment. If you treat a lady right and she's interested the possibilities are endless." He mused. "right. ok. stayin' here it is."
