Episode V: The Voices of Reason

[Rudger McVanlen]

"I'm not annoying, i just want to talk. You don't have to mean about it" I say grumpily...

[zepplin]

"Sir, Team Beta will rendevue at the second deck, below the other damaged deck that Alpha has gone too, Drago, your with me." Zepplin says before the two of them enter the turbo lift.

They arrive at the correct deck, meeting a team of young helmets

"Ok, follow my lead, Drago you take up the rear,"

[Daniel Clark]

The Engineering crew had finally managed to repel the Attackers from Engineering
=^=Engineering to Bridge, we are back on-line down here=^=

[zepplin]

Zepplin came around the corner and smashed an Atlantian in the face with the butt of his rifle. Being by himself and knocked out, Zepplin decided to kick the scum off the ship, having fought for ground for at least a couple of hours now, thiswas the last one

"Take over this!"

was the muffled sound that came out of his enviro suit before the atlantian went flying in space before hitting the hull of his ship.

[Lt Matina Jade]

Jade sighed "Sorry, I just...put my guard up around people. I didn't mean to snap."

[Rudger McVanlen]

"You don't have to gaurd yourself around me. I like listening to people and helping them, so talk away" i say smileing...

[zepplin]

"=^= Zepplin to Bridge, all clear on this deck, awaiting your orders."

[Commander Vorak]

Vorak leaned against the deck plates, around the corner 6 Atalan soilders stood. He gesured for his team to stand bye and launched out of his hiding, placing his hand on the shoulder of one taking him out and firing at the other. The rest followed taking the others out.
"Secure Captain."

[Lt Matina Jade]

"Well my farther was killed right infront of me when I was akid by those Klingon animals, how about you?" she said bluntly.

[Rudger McVanlen]

"Ahh well that partly explains it... sorry. My lifes been better then that, trained with my parents to be an officer since i could walk, joined when i was 16. Then latter i joined this ships crew. I havein't had many sad things happen to me other then things almost everyone has to deal with. But i'm still determend to help you if it kills me, thats just how i am. So do you need anything?" i ask...

[Lt Matina Jade]

"Help me?" she smiles "Thats sweet, stupid but sweet."

[Captain Alexander Kynes]

OOC: Here is a example present tense post. Do you guys think we should have a present tense mission style, or keep or present past tense style? I know this post is a bit strange, but bear with me. Besides, I think it's sort of cool, in a poetic way.

IC: In a blaze a reflex, Kynes shoots two Altanian marines as they crawl out from the Jeffries tubes, and onto the bridge. Sweating with stress, Kynes drags the two bodies out into the open. He rummages through their rucksacks, and salvages what weapons he can find. He distributes them to several members of the bridge crew, to arm themselves if the Altanians arrived again.

Suddenly, a glimpse on the viewscreen is seen. A flash of darkness, momemtarily shadowing out the Altanian sun. As thunderous sounds are heard from below Deck 1, a series of silhouettes moved closer to the battle.
"Sir, we've detected 8 new Altan Av'let Battlecruisers on our sensors!" says a concerned Operations crewman.
"Alright," sighs Kynes.
"All that we need right now is to have another enemy fleet on our asses. Ensign, cut life support from all evacuated decks, and divert the energy to shields. We need to hold out..."

As Kynes speaks, a much larger battle is raging upon the landscape of Altan IV. Thermonuclear devices had torn apart a third of Altanian life upon the world, and the ozone layer of the planet was weak. The majority of the Civilized's Av'let Cruisers have submerged into the atmosphere, wreaking havoc on the millions of rioting...
fleeing...
screaming...
crying...
breathless...
moaning...
and dying citizens.

Hovertanks drive down the streets of Sh'ral Metropolis, pulling down age-old monuments. Skeletons litter the street, and moans are drowned out by the wailing bomb sirens. A missile can be seen decending into the city skyline from far away...

And then nothing...


"Captain, we're being hailed."
"Onscreen..." says Captain Kynes, silencing the anxiety in his heart with a swift mental rally.
"Captain, this is the Av'let Commander Jarn, of the Altanian Interstellar Insurgency. I have brought my ship, the AII Mathan to your aid. We have an intellation set up on Altan VII, and we'd like to take you there, to discuss terms of 'true' peace between the Federation and the Altanian peoples."
Kynes nodded, grinning with relief.
"Your assistance is most welcome, Captain Jarn. We have some officers onboard the Research station orbiting Altan IV. Can you reinforce our position, and help in their rescue?" Kynes asks. Jarn has a saddened face, but replies nonetheless.
"Yes... I've just found out... Nevermind... USS Endeavour, we shall assist. Jarn out."
The viewscreen goes blank. The 8 rebel Av'let warships close in on the 'Civilized' vessels, and join the battle.

[Rudger McVanlen]

OOC: to the captain, nice. To everyone else.. for the last time jade and i ARE NOT on the ship... *Bonks everyone*




IC: "It's not stupid, you act like your hurt all the time, i just don't like to see people like that all the time...even if they try to killl me when their drunk" i say grining...

[zepplin]

OOC: umm, thats not me your 'bonking', in my langauge to bonk is too root, as in to have a mating ritual of two, in a bigger way of saying it so it won't be bleeped out... anyway I didn't say you were on 'our' ship, it is 'blatenly' obvious to everyone your on the Atlantian defectors ship... are they defectors?

IC: Zepplin walks onto the bridge relieving the ensign at his station.

[Daniel Clark]

Daniel checked the Long-range sensors and gasped
