Cheers Dee. Time to die...

[There is no answer on the comms channel. You head back running down the long corridors.]

The SpaceStation

"Here we are guys."

The purple line ends and a big set of double doors. They hiss open. The hydrolyics are old and worn. Heading through the doors is a map. It it labeled in russian.
Epoch studies it for a moment and to get his bearings.

"Down this lift is the main computer core, where we got our data from. And in here is the command interface room. The Command Chair is in there."

Epoch heads for the lift and hits the call button. The doors open and he does a quick sweep with his gun before stepping in.

give me some credit, epoch. i have a whole bag of tricks....

*slows down and cheaks the comms again. when no one answers i draw my pistols, double cheak everything on my advanced helmet before going on.*

Bill_Door · April 2004

*Follows Epoch into the lift*
"Sure is quiet in here..."

I'll be AFK for 4 days starting tomorrow.
The plan is to just follow Epoch

Parhelion · April 2004

*steps on to the lift as well, waiting for it to move*
“Yeah, it is...I hope to keep it that way.”

See you in four days then, Bill <img src='http://www.natural-selection.org/forums/html//emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif' />

The SpaceStation

Epoch hits the lift button and it starts to move down.
As the lift starts to desends you hear a godaweful chuckle. It sounds like it came from above.

The Impervious

[You get to the docking tube. At the other end the ship sits in waiting. The door is wide open and the landing ramp down. There are no signs on thermal vision.]

deaincaelo · April 2004

"the doors open but nobody's home. this is wrong...."
*i approach, staying undercover as much as possible. i cheack my six as i duck behind an empty crate, then slide along the wall to stand out of sight next to the ships door. then i [listen]*

Cleric_Epoch · April 2004

The Impervious

[There is no sound from inside.]

If you've read my story please post what you though of it.

deaincaelo · April 2004

*i turn the corner, guns at the ready.*

Cleric_Epoch · April 2004

The Impervious

[Inside the ship is empty. Vital functions are still running]

The Space Station

The lift slowly desends then comes to a stop.

"This is it, in here should be the CC."

The lift doors open, beyond them is a large room. It has a database of computers along the sides and at the far end on a plinth is a CC.

deaincaelo · April 2004

*cheaks over the ship, looking for anything unusual*
"hey, sarge, i'm back at the dropship. what do you need on this end? a PG?"

Cleric_Epoch · April 2004

The Impervious

[There are several bullet holes in the walls and a couple of smashed screens. It is clear there has ben a firefight inside the ship.]

"Affirmative, I need a PG. Just let me log on."

deaincaelo · April 2004

"ok, sarge. i think you should know, theres been a firefight here. i'm alone. doesnt look like theres much damage to the ship. i'ld apreaciate any mechanical advantage you can drop here, in case whoever was here comes back."

Parhelion · April 2004

"Right, Sarge, I'm going to do some overwatch, just sneaking around to make sure the area is secure. Bill, sorry mate, but you'll have to get the stuff built."
*proceeds to walk off silently, quartering the area around the command chair*
"By the way, Dea...are the pilots missing as well? You take care of yourself back there..."

deaincaelo · April 2004

"dont worry, i will. I have a whole bag of tricks, courtisy of fingers. i havent seen the pilots yet but they could be hiding in the cockpit."
*cheaks the armory first, pistols at the ready*

Cleric_Epoch · April 2004

The Impervious

[The armoury is empty. And it looks like it has been raided, all of the weapons have been taken, including the HMG.]

"Dee, search the ship and tell me when your ready to recive this PG."

The Space Station

Epoch walks to the command chair and logs in. He drops a phase gate which Bill starts to build.

deaincaelo · April 2004

*clears the bridge and the briefing room. when all is clear:*
"ok, sarge, drop the gate. be advised, they got everything in the armory, including the HMG."

Cleric_Epoch · April 2004

The Impervious

"Dropping the gate now."

[You hear a phase gate being dropped.]

"Noted, keep and eye out while you build."

A phase gate is dropped outside the ship in the docking tube, just outside the ramp.

The Space Station

"Wraith get that up then we can start getting the hard drives of these machines into the ship."

A phase gate is dropped in the middle of the room.

"When that is done we're gonna have to go on a search mission for our pilots."

Parhelion · April 2004

"Roger that...I guess scouting around will have to wait for the moment."
*returns to the phase gate, and proceeds to construct it*
"Where the hell could those pilots have gone to?"

deaincaelo · April 2004

"dunno, but it doesnt look like they went quietly. we are definately not alone on this mission."
*builds the pg, one eye on the approach*

Cleric_Epoch · April 2004

The Impervious

[You check over the phase gate for any damage or irregularities and activate the construction nanos. As you are doing so you hear footsteps at the other end of the docking tunnel.]

The Space Station

[You check over the phase gate for any damage or irregularities and activate the construction nanos.]

"Wraith when that’s build search the station for the pilots. I will start removing the data form the room and load the ship with Dee."

deaincaelo · April 2004

"we got incoming"
*ducks behind a crate, draws my pistols, and trys to sight whoever is coming*

Bill_Door · April 2004

"What about me sarge?"

Parhelion · April 2004

*continues overseeing the construction of the phase gate. One hand reaches down to his radio, and taps the transmit key twice, sending a soft “click, click” over the comms link. When the phase is done, he moves out silently, LMG sweeping his field of vision.*

I’m going to be using stealth all the time...do I need to keep using {sneak} or can it just be assumed as such?

Cleric_Epoch · April 2004

I'll assume your in 'stealth mode'.

The Space Station

"Bill phase through to the ship, Dee thinks she has hostiles."
*Drops and ammo pack for everyone.*

The Impervious

[A figure appears at the end of the docking bay.]

deaincaelo · April 2004

"i cant make it out, but somethings there"
*i switch to vision modes, and get a cat-pack ready*

Cleric_Epoch · April 2004

The Space Station

[Night vision is blocked by the smoke but thermal makes out a human shape. It appears to be walking blindly through the smoke towards you.]

deaincaelo · April 2004

"dunno who we got here, but its human. hold on."
*i use my sight advantage to set up an ambush. once the fuigure walks by i [grab it and put a pistol to its neck]*
"dont resit. who are you?"

P-Khan · April 2004

*I hold my hand up*
"Wait! Don't shoot. I saw something moving and I was checking it out. It's Khan"

Returned guys! Had some internet problems, but now it's OK

deaincaelo · April 2004

"sorry, mate. what happened? looks like the dropship got mugged."
*covers in case anything else shows up*
"finish that phasegate for me, will you?"

Parhelion · April 2004

*continues to scout around, checking warily behind him and stopping periodically to listen for any incoming threats*
