Coalition Operations I: From the Ashes (RP. Apply in the Sign-Up thread.)

[Rayleonarde]

Ray entered the hanger with the escort team in tow. Leaving the escorts to the passenger, the mechanical raccoon approached the ship, assessing the damage from the flight deck.

(Sorry for the delay; been busy irl.)

The doctor nodded softly, his display showing he was once again lost in thought. 'What do I really know about the politics between these two groups? Never really had cause to get involved, really.. Jobs can be caused by politics but they rarely directly involved them.' The mustelid was about to say something when he heard the rambling about the machine gods start up again.

There was a sudden shift between confusion, concern, alarm, and consideration on his display, but ultimately concern won out. 'This one.. This one is going to make things difficult-might get us killed, or just kill us himself, possibly.' The expression on his display shifted again as the one named Rylou made a brisk introduction. There was a noncommittal look and gesture as he hurried around.

Watching the god fearing engineer run off he turned to the Admiral with a purposeful expression displayed. "If he tries to touch me or any of my equipment, I'm not responsible for what happens to him. However, getting back on topic, we must consider the political fallout of such a catastrophe. What will others think of us? What effects has it already had internally? All these things and more contribute towards their plan."

" 'Their plan' is exactly what we're trying to ascertain - we already get the picture they want Lord-Admiral Tokarev out of the way - lord knows why - but we're largely in the dark as to what the long-term goal is," Trask said.

In orbit, a single Bellator-class Star Dreadnought dropped out of FTL speed, shields raised and weapons hot.

It sent out a coded hailing signal, directed at the Steel Avenger.

I reach the hangar bay or the Steel Avenger, I switch on my thrusters and slowly fly up and into it easing in slowly. As she lands she groans and squeal as the four legs of the ship touch the hangar floor. Once she is settled I turn off the engines and walk down exiting through my rear bay letting the platform unfold from my ship "J9 here!" A robotic bird looking machine flew out of the ship ad perched itself on my robotic arm/shoulder. "M3G watch the ship, no one touches till I say so" a large construction not with a backhoe as her left arm steps out"you got it sir" I smile as I close the doors and look around for a guid to the bridge.

(Quick side-note, Lacar, posts in an RP are typically written in third person.)

A Reman crewman approached him. "Excuse me, sir, but this ship is off-limits to all but authorized personnel," he told him.

[Lacar Lacrest]

Lacar directed his attention to them "Oh.....I radioed the bridge for permission to board." He digs in his pockets for a moment then J9 holds out a holotape." Thank you J9, I'm here for the job I recorded the signal on my holotape as proof" Lacar takes it and holds it out 


(Sorry I'll try to be careful with that)

[Romulan_Furry]

(Come on, people - try to keep this alive.)

[Alessia Starfurr]

" Can I ask you something personal, Trask?" Krystal asked.


"Sir were being hailed." Serena noted.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray approached Lacar's vessel, a look of empathy on his face. "This poor machine...in such disrepair." The mechanical raccoon reached towards the ship's hull as if to comfort the vehicle.

[Rylou]

Rylou looked around at the two people talking to Trask at the same time. "This is how people die in space..." he muttered quietly to himself.

[AJ Fawxe]

The doctor looked up and around, hearing sounds going off his display expressed a look of concern. Moving swiftly over to one of the screens the crewmen were operating he saw what had just warped in and the gasp he let out seemed to have an echo.


"Why in the hell has this ship warped in on us and what do they want? My pay is only good if I'm alive to spend it." The doctor tried to remember where the escape pods were usually located on Coalition vessels. This mission seemed to be spiraling out of control fast.

[Rylou]

Rylou started inching towards the elevator. "Hey Trask maybe focus on that ship, we may still be planetside but that just means more fire in the explodey death! And I know fire!"

[Lacar Lacrest]

Lacar looked back at Ray walking up to him "beautiful isn't she" the mechanical bird on my shoulder flies over to ray landing on his shoulder. "i need to fix her up, get her back in her prime"

[Rayleonarde]

Ray turned to Lacar, a smile in his voice but not on his face. "An unfortunate product of poor care. If you'll allow me, I can ease the creature's pain."

[Lacar Lacrest]

lacar takes slight offence to Ray's words "poor care? im the only reason she's still working so well" the ship groans as it settles completely "i dont love anything more than my ship"  From just the ships look anyone with a small knowledge of tech could see that the ship is an extremely old model, from the beginning of space travel almost, outfiited with a few new technologies to keep her in shape.

[Romulan_Furry]

" Can I ask you something personal, Trask?" Krystal asked.


"Sir were being hailed." Serena noted.

"I don't think this is the time for personal questions, Kr--" Trask began, before hearing Serena's report. He frowned.

The doctor looked up and around, hearing sounds going off his display expressed a look of concern. Moving swiftly over to one of the screens the crewmen were operating he saw what had just warped in and the gasp he let out seemed to have an echo.


"Why in the hell has this ship warped in on us and what do they want? My pay is only good if I'm alive to spend it." The doctor tried to remember where the escape pods were usually located on Coalition vessels. This mission seemed to be spiraling out of control fast.

"I imagine if they wanted to harm us, they'd have made that clear by now," Trask assured the doctor. "Put his hail through," he told Serena. As soon as she did, the face of a Romulan woman with crimson eyes would be on the screen. Facial recognition would paint this as Admiral Arai - only Arai didn't have crimson eyes indicative of a Dark Force user. While the logical assumption would be that this was Arai's force-sensitive clone, Torrentus, something was off - the security footage that captured Torrentus on the observatory clearly depicted her as having several cyborg enhancements. This Romulan had none.

So who was this?

(I'll let you all post your responses to this before I continue.)

[Rylou]

Rylou looked at the screen with small fascination, he didn't know much but he did know red eyes weren't natural among Romulans.

[Romulan_Furry]

The Reman crewman that Lacar spoke to earlier approached him, with a pair of Klingons armed with Disruptor Auto Rifles behind him. The Reman handed Lacar his disk back. "You check out, sir - these two will take you to the bridge," he told him.
