[Opens fire at the remaing interceptor]
"This one's mine!"

Cleric_Epoch · December 2003

[The interceptor is badly hit, spinning off into the distance before exploding.]

"Well done Frantic. Pilot take us in."
/Co-Pilot "Yessir!"

The pilot takes up closer to the docking arm. The ship latches on to the side and waits for the boarding doors to open.

Bill_Door · December 2003

*I weld the tear up*
"Lets take a shufti at that panel... Hmm... 2 red lights... not good. Anyone read russian here?"

Cleric_Epoch · December 2003

'The Eagles Claw' sits and waits for the docking hatch to open

/Co-Pilot "I'm gonna start repairs once we dock. Without the pilot this may take some time. I don't know just how extense the damage is yet."

Bill_Door · December 2003

[I attempt to contact the dropship]
"This is Bill, Radio check, over."
*I check the life support levels on my suit*
"This is not how an assault is supposed to go..."

Cleric_Epoch · December 2003

In the Docking Hatch

The control pannel in the docking chamber is labeled in russian. The pannel has three buttons, each has a light next to them.

Button 1: ÎÒÊÐÛÒÛÉ - Red Light
Button 2: ÇÀÊÐÛÒÛÉ - Green Light
Button 3: Áåç ïåðåâîäà - Red Light

[Your radio only picks up static and a few words in russian. Life support systems are nominal.]

In 'The Eagles Claw'

The co-pilot pulls a welder out from under his seat and begins to weld instrument pannels on the ships dash board.

/Co-Pilot "The damage seems to be pretty bad, it will take atleast an hour to get the ship space worthy. We're docked now. You can go aboard when the doors open."

A light blows on the ship an the dashboard sparks. The ship is plunged into darkness before the emergency lighting comes on.

/Co-Pilot "All primary systems are offline. Choose what one you want me to repair first?"

1 - Life Support Systems
2 - Mainframe Computer
3 - Navigational Control
4 - Engines
5 - Weapons Systems

[I poke the panel randomly]
"I wish I'd taken russian..."

Just what web browser and OS are you using anyway?
Mozilla Firebird/IE 6 on Windows XP Home Edition
IE 6 on Windows 98

Cleric_Epoch · December 2003

[Pressing the green button lights the button below. And pressing that sets the rooms pressure at the same as the docked ship.]

The doors open and a blast of smoke and flames erupt out of the ship. The rest of the team step out, abeit stumble out blacked and charred.

"Thanks Bill, I see you managed to do it with out us. Our communications went down when we were hit."
"I was going to hack into their mainframe and guide you from the ship, but with out the comms I'll be coming aboard with you."
"Just follow my lead and we should get this mission back on it's feet. It's suprising we're still undected after all that racket we made. Hopefully the pirates evacuated when when their collegues were captured."
"Mission objectives remain the same: Find the main terminal and get any and all data from it."
*Begins to walk out of the docking bay and down the tunnel. Sweeping the area infront with his LMG.*

I'm using IE 6 on Windows XP (home edition). I won't use any more russian anymore if your having diffuculty, not thats it's easy in plain russian anyway. Do you see square like this ƒ¡, or just gibberish?
Who else has problems with the font?

deaincaelo · December 2003

it'll get an "a" with a dipthoung above it or some such. for example button 1 is "ioeduoue" with a series of marks above it.

*moves out*
"i think life support and wepons should be the priorities."
[looks for a free welder to grab]

FranticNS · December 2003

*follows Sarge with lmg ready and looks around*

Cleric_Epoch · December 2003

/Co-Pilot "Dea! Theres welders by that crate. I'll make a start on repairs."

There are two welders by the crate that Bill opened.
Sgt. Epoch looks at the writing on crate 4.

"Grenades."
*Opens the box and hands two grenades to every one.*
"I had a few russians in the officer carde. I'm not fluent but I get by."

Sgt. Epoch goes to the door at the end of the docking tunnel and pulls out a hacking tool. He puts it to a side pannel by the hatch and presses a few buttons. The control pannel beeps and the door opens.

"Lets move like we got a purpose."

The corridor ahead looks like a concrete maze. Pipes lines the walls on one side. The other has a red, purple, green and white line running along it. The lines are labeled in russian which Epoch translates.

Red Line - Armoury, Brig, Dorms,
Purple Line - Computer Core, Holo-Deck,
Green Line - Science Labs,
White Line - Docking Bays,

"Remeber this use to be a Russian Research station. Don't touch anything."
*Follows the purple line.*

FranticNS · December 2003

"Aye Sir."
*follows the purple line*

Cleric_Epoch · December 2003

"Dea you staying back to help repair the ship?"
"We need you to be a rear guard too. If anything goes wrong we'll be heading back here with alot of tango's on our tail."
"Anyone else want to help out with repairs?"

Bill_Door · December 2003

*I loosen the re-breather and hang it around my neck*
"I can help with repairs... Who knows, I might be able to do some good here..."
*I head into the ship after putting the grenades away, into a pocket*
I mutter "I think I've pushed my luck far too far today"

deaincaelo · December 2003

*stashes a welder, and grenades*
"well, lotsa work here. i'll take wepons, you two take life support?"
*starts working on the wepons systems*

Bill_Door · December 2003

"Sure. If you need any help just ask."
*I turn and head towards life-support, saying over my shoulder*
"...Some things need an extra pair of hands, just to hold everything in position while it gets fixed..."

Cleric_Epoch · January 2004

Bill and Dea begin to work on repairing the ship. The co-pilot directing them.
The other begin to venture deep into the research station.

"Good luck Dea, Bill, you'll need it. The rest off you follow me, if you get split up we're following the purple line."
*Walks down the corridor following the purple line around the corner.*
"Move quietly, we don't want to disturb anybody now, would we?"

Bill_Door · January 2004

*I go to the life-support*
"Right. Lets see what I can do"
[Starts repairs]

FranticNS · January 2004

Bill_Door · January 2004

"Right... priority is atmospheric processing.... Can't fight, if we can't breath."
[Goes and starts repairs]

deaincaelo · January 2004

[starts on couter-measures]
"hey, whos left to move on the objective?":

Crew2Foe · January 2004

"sry about that must of dozed off... Mr. Bill Mr. Dea you worry about repairin ill get the objective."

*follows the purple line to the holo deck*

sry my internet was down for a while

deaincaelo · January 2004

"dont call me mister. i swear, some people..."

Bill_Door · January 2004

*I mutter over voice comm "He really must have been dozing..."
*I pause*
"Whoops... must have knocked the talk switch whilst I was working... Sorry..."

Cleric_Epoch · January 2004

The Corridor

"Lack off oxygen to the brain. His suit was torn while entering. If it wasn't for Bills quick thinking and 'excellent russian translating' skills you would be dead by now."

The corridor leads on like a maze. First left, then right, then left again. There is still no sign off any pirates. Suddenly the corridor ends and there is a lift. The lift looks like an old cargo lift, surrounded by steel mesh.

"The only way is down. Strange though, you would think the pirates would have some sentries up here."
*Steps into the lift and waits for the others.*

The Ship

/Co-Pilot "I have managed to get the ships comms system back on line. But structual integrity looks pretty ba..."

There is a spark over where Bill is working and he is thrown arcoss the by the resulting explosion.
He lands stunned, but luckly unhurt.

/Co-Pilot *Rushes over to Bill*
"Bill you ok?"

The automated fire control kicks in dousing the area Bill was working with CO2.

FranticNS · January 2004

"Aye, it does seem a little odd."
*Steps onto the lift*

Bill_Door · January 2004

"...Uuuuhh... Ouch..."

Crew2Foe · January 2004

"Wait for Me"
*steps on to the lift*

Cleric_Epoch · January 2004

*Waits until the others are all in the lift.*
"Crew, Frantic. This is it. You ready?"
*Checks weapons and ammo.*

I coulda sworn there was more of us <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'>
