    Thanks no one knifes a fade. Not on my watch <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    For all late joiners and/or those who want a recap.

    Summary: You are all fresh recruits in the TSA. Once you graduated from training your were sent to serve on Concorde Base.
    On your first day you arrive you were assigned under the control of Sgt. Epoch (me).
    Epoch took the group for training in the holo-room. But there was a malfunction and training ended prematurely.
    Then the space station received a distress signal from a pleasure cruiser. Upon arriving at the cruiser you found it overrun by pirates, a few were captured and interrogated. They gave info on a space station, which we believed to be their main base.
    The group was dispatched to the space station by ship and found it to be a Russian research lab. While myself and others took all data from the space station the rest of the team on the ship was attacked by Russian Dreadnought. Fleeing the scene with the data the squad made it back to Concorde Station where they have a briefing in room 07 at 14:00.

    Anything I missed?

    <span style='color:pink'>"yeah, lots. like where the russians came up with an enigma machine, or a language no one knows about. and why cant we just feed this code to one of those planet-sized brained AI's. but the only one i really care about is why the busy mission scheduel? are we that short on manpower, or is this eternity code thing that important? getting shot at really... agitates me. i could use some R&R if i'm going to be in a situation where not-shooting someone could be critical. you know how i get."</span>
