The Long Journey Home

[Arthur Campbell]

OOC: Answer time ahoy @Rey 1)Two reasons: He's always had experience with explosives, so it was one of the most natural fits. Also he considers it one of the most enjoyable challenges anyone can undertake. you're closer to death than any other job and matching wits is always fun. 2)Fortunately he derives a great deal of enjoyment from his job. Other than that he enjoys conversation and puzzles when not occupied with professional work. 3)Why it's the greatest challenge of all! maybe between the depths of space and the best earth has to offer he can meet his match. 4) Rey seems generally charming, highly capable and definitely the most intelligent and calculating out of his squad mates. However she also comes across as easily distracted, possibly sensitive and mischevious. 5)I guess it would be cute, but I'm not sure how practical it would be as a bomb casing.

OOC: [MENTION=5134]Ghost[/MENTION] Just waiting on his name and backstory, hopefully will receive shortly. He does have a character sheet however.

OOC: Okay player being slow but let's start moving anyway.

Naomi introduces the man as a laser specialist she then calls the rest of echo and sierra to meet and make a final decision.

When everyone arrives in the main conference room Namoi reiterates what she says to ghost:

"In brief the water planet has signs of life beneath it's icy crust, they do seem intelligent but primitive. The droid picked up hunting parties of creatures armed with projectile weapons catching something else presumably for food. Photos are not accurate enough to depict how exactly.

The Pangaea planet is oddly empty for a planet that size. There have been building sited on the planetside however. Quite well designed ones made of concrete and metal though nothing on the EM spectra is being picked up from the planet.

The small radio planet has several small outposts by the reports. However it seems the radio waves are playing a singular message over and over again, we aren't sure what that message is as we don't know the language. We have a recording of it, we suspect it might be a distress beacon but appearances can be deceiving. We aren't ruling anything out yet."

Naomi then says: "Will you descend to the radio planet then? With the new scouting knowledge that we have."

 

[Arthur Campbell]

Arthur yawned Sounds like a plan, I assume the captains have the final say. But I'm pretty sure that's what we decided on.

 

[Alexander Bauhdric]

Alexander nods to Naomi, considering the news he had just received before answering.

Sounds excellent. If it is indeed a distress beacon, then we have not a moment to loose.

 

[J. D. Tsuba]

J.D listens closely to the new intel, and briefly flicks through the data report received from the drones.
'It seems to me that the most likely source of the radio waves is now a distress signal. That cannot be ignored. in light of this I believe our decision has been made for us, I shall prepare to leave.'

J.D waits a few moments to see what the others are doing, and then turns and exits

OOC: (rather hastily in my opinion)

to gather equipment from the storage room.

 

[Universal_narration]

OOC: I'll retcon the introduction when the player is up on his game

Naomi salutes the teams "Off you go then on your first planetside mission. Captains make sure you keep your teams safe and sound."

The two groups arrive in the armory and suit up.

OOC: Post what you are taking with you and any last minute things you want to do before landing. You ain't coming back for a while.

 

['Ghost']

OOC: Still waiting on a reply from Dr Serano, I'd like to finish that before I head off seeing as we're dissapearing for a while. Loadout will be the same as before essentially. Advanced Rifle, standard pistol, pinpoint, advanced skill: Investigation. I'm assuming rations, water and the like won't come under loadout and that we don't need to actually mention we're taking supplies and if we do what length of time is the mission expected to take as that will affect how much I take with me.

 

[Mikhail Zhukov]

Mikhail who up to this point seemed lost in thoughts snapped back to reality and clapped his hands to draw attention of others.

Listen up starseekers! Couple of last minute updates. First of all our assumptions about enemy goals were partially incorrect. While they are indeed scavengers of sort their aim was to scavenge the crew not the ship. Secondly we have confirmed toaster presence on the radio planet and it sounds like they are harvesting the locals using "sleepers".

Mikhail thought about something for a moment and took of down a corridor saying:

I will meet you at the hangar.

He made his way to team awesome HQ.

Spoiler

Hey Helm quick question. You mentioned sleepers before. How much do locals know about them and the entire harvesting thing? Or maybe any other last minute tips that would save our lives you are willing to share. If I make it back alive I will make you gift.
After getting the answer Mikhail will run out and...

...head to the hangar through engineering.

In engineering Mikhail ran up to Sarah, without giving her time to react he hugged Sarah putting both his arms behind her back and lifted her of the floor, spinning her around. After several turns Mikhail returned chief engineer to the floor while still moving towards the hangar back first.

We are finally going planetside. he said hitting his chest with a fist several times I will bring you another souvenir, unless I get myself killed down there.

Mikhail turned around and ran to the hangar bay.
Inside he quickly found the familiar figure.

Hey Manabe we are deploying, I need some gear installed on my ride quickly.

[Alexander Bauhdric]

Alexander performed what he would consider a light jog to the armoury, nervous crew-members staying well clear of his barrel-chest as he ran past. He made it to the room very quickly, and nodded to the men and women already there.

"Saving the innocents will have to be our priority. Do not endanger their lives, but be sure to end the mechanical threat."

He spoke the words to his squad over the radio, but he was loud enough that anyone in the armoury would be able to hear him. Donning his armour, he sighed softly, the plates of armour rapidly becoming a second skin for him; rippling layers of muscle augmenting the suits imposing frame. Lightning coursed over his power-fists as he ignited them a few times, checking all systems as he waited for his team.

"We will succeed. Protect the innocents below, and in return, I shall protect your bodies and souls from anything they have to offer. But this time, Mr Mourisette..."

He chuckled as he started powering up his suit to full power, savouring the sheer power running through his exoskeleton as the Paxis turbines whined inside his bulky armour.

"Bring a side-arm."
