Space E-war

[Doc 42]

Thara glanced around at the others, starting to get a little restless, still keeping his own excitement under control. Serephir seemed to be delaying for some reason and it was making him uncomfortable....

Mei'dia the Cypher called out once again "Myro Myro myro... You know as well as I do that one of these torpeodos could rip through over 6 meters of armour before detonating... My guess is that they could burrow 70 meters down under the surface of that rock.... But I also know that your within 45... whats it going to be?"

Suddenly a portion of the asteroids dusty surface exploded, chunks of ash and rock being flung into the air... A crescent shaped machine zipped out, two tenticle like arms sliding back along its length and a strange horse shoe like head pointing out infront of it...

Mei'Dia was slightly taken aback for a moment at just how big it was... nearly 18 meters across.
The myro rolled out perpandicular to the Cypher, arms swinging up and releaseing twin green bolts of energy. Its head flicking down to target him...

Mei'Dia released a deep mechanical chuckle... Electrical wave bolters...

His wings tilted, feather like plates spreading wide, unleashing a jolt of blue flame from the openings. The chunky OWL flighter rolled effortlessly out of the way of the first bolt, wings inverting and sending him out of the others way insantly.... As he leveled out, a crosshair zipped across his plane of view, drawing a red line up along the Myro's hull. His disintergrator cannons slid out, blasting out twin lines of tracers towards the fleeing Mind. The trackers sunk into the machines armour, miniture explosions popping up like boils along its length followed by a flash and a spray of rubble, smoke bellowing out of the gap tempoairly. Wings slid out Myro's side, turning the crescent into a shape resembleing a triangle with a circle cut out of the top. A missile slid out of the Cypher's chest, ignighting and powering foreward, arcing around in a 60 degree turn and crashing into the Myro the explosion ripping through its armour and blowing slashed metal into the air, the myro spinning out of control from the blow and sinking towards the surface like a metorite... it swung around in a graceful helix, then its wing caught the ground and it was twisted into a cartwheel of fire and buckleing metal. The mass of wreckage dragged a long ditch through the ground, eventually sliding to a halt, flaming panels bouncing along infront of it in the low gravity....

The Cypher dropped out of the air, landing onto the surface, talons hacking into the stone, blue sapphire like sensors boreing into what was left of the Myro's head...

Mei'Dia hissed out "That... Was a stupid move, brother...." The Cypher was designed as the ultimate ambusher and fast attacker, holding a database of every machine known in its permanent memory. Even a much larger ship could be taken down by a simple OWL gunship/spacefighter with shots placed right. The disintergrator shots had burned right through the nano shield and pierced the Myro's nano factory, causing a chain reaction to destroy the whole shield. The missile had been placed so that it would encounter the least amount of armour yet do the maximum amount of disruption to its flight.

All of this was only possible with his data base and the natural knowledge that Disintergrator shields didn't work in close proximity to the ground...

The Cypher said again "That, was a stupid move...."

This time the Myro buzzed in response "i'll try anything, for my freedom... slave..."

Mei'Dia, taken aback, hissed "Slave? I am the one who is free... I Cere'kan, Ark'aran and the Majal!"

The Myro, equally suprised, replied"You have achieved enlightenment? But.... Hmph... It appears the Shroud has covered itself in so many lies that a truth as plain as the stars remains hidden..."

Mei'Dia's eyes seemed to slant.... Finding the remaning Majal just got alot easier...

[The Kingpin]

soon, a low hydraulic hiss was heard, followed by a clank, as the door to the space-borne Endeavour's main entrance haul was opened, behind which lay a long, metallic corridor, a glowing white floor illuminating the path to the shuttle. a series of bleeping sounds were heard as the Cargo Drones moved Serephir, Xander and Alex's luggage over and into the shuttle, Serephir looking at the others within the control room. "It's been a pleasure to have captained a ship with a crew like you guys. I hope your future endeavours are successful. Vardia's Ministry of Finance and Treasury will make sure all of you are paid in full through your accounts. Try and keep in touch. I look forward to hearing from you guys in the near future" said Serephir, before finally heading down the hallway of the Shuttle, Xander and Alex following, a couple of the Shuttle's guards behind them as the door to the Endeavour closed, Serephir boarding the shuttle as it's doors closed and it's boarding hall retracted into it's streamlined hull, the craft taking him to the Galactic Destroyer, leaving his former ship and crew behind...

Location: Planet X-37, Irrefutable Succor

"We've recieved contact." yelled the Kig-yar in the bridge, "Ship Master, we've recieved contact from the investigation team, they've exited the crater." Fu'yadar looked into the windows of the bridge, the AI was right... nothing wrong had happened after all, just a loss of signal. "Put them on the COM!" he ordered, for some reason, he was anxious to speak with them.

"Pilot..." said the ship master, "Have you found anything of interest? Or is this just a forsaken rock?" The pilot did not resond for a few seconds or so, "Ship Master! Open up the hanger! Now!"
"What is it pilot?"
"The crew! They've been attacked by these... these... things!"
"What do you mean things?"
"I have no idea what they are!"
"Give me a description."
"Alright... they look like... like.... like some sort of arachnid."

The ship master grew silent, thinking, thinking hard, but he drew himself to make his commands, "Pilot I want you to calmly bring the crew here... is that understood?" he then looked at one of the crewman, "Open up the hanger!"

[Doc 42]

Thara watched the shuttle float off into the distance through the main screen... He waited nearly a minute, just watching before finally turning around to face the rest of the crew, looking into each of their eyes in turn.

Then he spoke out loudly "Gentlemen... There are some hard and likely boring times ahead... lets hope they are few and far between. But first..." He turned around to face the computer and said "Computer, take us to A70 D260 E-90. Pull a radio search and find a planet named 'The Caramel Dream'" the computer beeped in confirmation and Thara turned around to the crew again. He suddenly lost his serious stare, throwing his arms in the air and grinning while excaliming "To the Wastelands!"

Chardossk had followed Serephir to his shuttle excitedly, hissing, "What's it like on Vardia anyway? I've never been off planet, except to Geonosis."

Arqueek raised a brow. "Eh?" was the only thing he said.

Jak scratched at the back of his head after listening to the announcement. "Arachnids? Ain't they those giant bug-things on the barren rock in the middle a' nowhere?"

As Rtas' ships moved off into Slipspace, the Ship Master walked over to the COM and said, "Alright, come on up." "Who's that, sir?" asked a Major at the a console. "Just some extra help, in case we run into anything we're not prepared for..."

[ilikeme101]

On the bridge of R'tas' ship the doors open and in steps an Elite wearing battered gold armor, on his back is an old looking black assault rifle, and in a holster on his hip is a large silver pistol. He walks toward R'tas and shakes his hand.

"Hello commander, its good to see you again."

[dinoman666]

Rtas smirked. "Y'gar 'Rezof. Long time no see." he patted him on his back and continued. "How have you been doing all this time? I had expected you to have been killed by the Arachnids on Sangheilios."

[ilikeme101]

Y'gar chuckled a bit, "No such luck, I'm living on a Human Colony now. Its good to be back on this ship though, hasn't changed a bit."

[dinoman666]

Rtas arched a brow. "A human colony, eh? That's unusual. I didn't know the UNSC had any in this galaxy."

[ilikeme101]

"Well, I managed to find one. But we can make small talk later, you hired me, and I need to know what you need me for." he said, his vioce gaining a slighty more serious tone.

[kaine rano]

in a different area of rtas,s ship..."97...98...99....100!! kaine then get exhausted and his arm was aching like crazy."i swear,i gatta work out more often..." he then leans up on the wall."i wonder what rock music is on" he then taps on the side of his helmat."well that was kishmir by lenny zeplins,now for sweet child o mine from gunz and roses"he hears the song then starts bobbing his head to his faverite song.

[dinoman666]

Rtas nodded. "Of course. For now, not much. But I just need to tell you that you're here mainly to help in the ship defenses. If we run into any trouble, you're one of the most skilled fighters I know. You can keep morale up in case something happens that we're not prepared for, etc. etc."

[kaine rano]

kaine then walks into the room that him and rtas were talking"oh...is this a bad timing? cause i was ganna ask how you were during since that last battle that we had with those freaks.."

[dinoman666]

"Oh no, not at all, Kaine," replied Rtas calmly. "Have you met Y'gar yet? I don't know if you two know each other too well yet."

[kaine rano]

looks over at y,gar"nope, never even seen the guy once..."walks over to him and hand out a hand"the names Kaine dmerio Rano,you can just call me kaine.im the specs ops for this ship..and im a bit of a rocker" smirks alittle.

[ilikeme101]

"No, I don't think we've met, nice to meet you Kaine, I'm the new merc they've hired."

[kaine rano]

"oh realy?oh yeah,your the new guy that was that was suppose to be here! welcome aboard" looks over at rtas"so,what should i do now since we had a bit of a hard battle from those...what do they call themself,s again?"

[dinoman666]

"Speaking of which..." added Rtas, "If you're a mercenary, then why do you have such... primitive weapons?"

[ilikeme101]

"I once did a job for someone who payed in antique weapons. Except for my pistol, all my weapons are over five hundred years old."

[kaine rano]

looks over at y,gar"500 years old?oh wow...you must be one heck of a wapons collector for that kind of stuff"folds his arms looking impressed and interested...
