Edward-lab, UM
Edward nodeed, and proceeded to pack up the laser and pieces of the generator, laying them in an ordelry fashion on the protective layers of foam. when he was down he put the large case of rithum, the case holding the laser and generator on a cart, and left the lab, taking it back to the dorm.
Once in the dorm, he took th cart and put it at hte back of the dorm and then threw himself down on his bed and stared at the ceiling, he rubbed his temples,
"What a day"
Full Version: Chaotic Systems - Playground 2
Juac Andrews
Space, Wildcat Attack
The universe slowed down for several seconds, nothing moved faster than a snail. This of course was because of the near death experience that happened.
Under the barrage from the four Battlecruisers that surround the 501st, one shell fired from the Magnetic Rail-Gun's grazed the cockpit shield, tearing a minor hole in it yet throwing the small craft into a turbuelant roll that seemed to last forever.
"501st, this is 1st Lt. Andr...s, I've been d...ged and current.. ut.. of t..h fight! hamster!" Another shell landed through his right wing, tearing a 2x2 hole in it. The craft start in a violent upside-down spin throwing Juac out of the fight and into uncounciousness.

Mark -- Space
Mark looked over his left shoulder in time to see Juac's ship get hit through the wing, "JUAC!" he yelled as a battleship shell came about 6 feet from his own wing. "DAMNIT ALL!.. ALL SHIPS, ON ME, ON ME!" What was left of the 501st formed around Mark's ship.
"Heavy attackers, prepare anti-battleship weapons. Light attackers, draw the cannon fire away from the group." Fom the larger ships missiles folded out from their wings as the smaller fighters flew in zig-zags in front of the main squad. Mark lead the heavy attackers straight to a Wildcat battleship flying at full throttle.
The bombers unleashed their missiles but how much damage was done, Mark couldn't tell....

Sub-General Anilise
Bermina, Flagship of the Wildcat Forces
"Ha, so they think they can rally?" She causually strode over towards the command console and opened up with comunications with the rest of the BattleGroup.
"Eccelon and Hermidos give me a full broadside into their uncomers. Thermola, prepare to release a EMP on the ships. Adrople, what is your damage report?"
The bridge commander quickly answered her call, "Mam, minimul hull damaged sustained in the Veta Quadrant, structure damage at 0%. Requesting permision to resume firing!"
"Granted"
Three ships were unleashing a myrad number of shells upon the 501st with their experimental Anti-Fighter Rail Guns. The AF styled guns were quite smaller then their cousins which were used in Anti-Cruiser warfare. Still, the shells didn't explode on contact with ships, they merely ripped holes in them.
The gunnery commander looked up from his station, "Mam, their commanding officer is KIA and almost 1/3rd of their squadron has joined him."
Edward-UM
Edward did not know how long he had lay in bed seemingly lost in thought, but he began to wonder what had taken Rann so long. Slightly curious Edward got up and slung his bag over his shoulder, and went out to look around the uni for Rann,

OOC: 24 hours of inactivity? What?
Rann, UM
Rann dropped his stuff off in the dorm, only to realize that Ed wasn't there. He spread out all of the parts on the desk before searching around campus for him.
If rykar were after him, it would be better if he wasn't alone and unarmed. With Rann there, he was neither.

Edward turned back and walked to the common area, looking everywhere around for Rann,
"Where could he be," not seeing him among the throng of students.

"Must ventilate the research area....the chlorine is fatal, damn him...was it absolutely necessary to smash those vials?" Satyana Viann was rather angry at the moment, all she wanted was to be able to do her research in peace...and now this! Her brothers werealso living their own lives.....far too much really, especially Rann! Then again..they did not come running to her when they got in trouble..that was true!
Actually she was happy Rann got to UM....that boy was surely intelligent..but also susceptible to all kinds of trouble....Syke then....hmm he was nic and loyal..at least to his brother..but also very supportive towards her....
Ahhh nevermind.....Satyana switched on the venting-system...and put it on "forced ventilation"

Veda
Outside Mars, Research Center 413 - Near Hangar
Veda had managed to get his hands on some rather good energy cells for his arm while he and Kratos was heading for the hangar. All he needed was to modify them a little bit to be able to connect to the cybernetic's in his arm.
Entering Hangar 3 Veda looked over at Kratos while he took up to the energy cells from his bag.
"I thought it could be a little boring sitting in the ship with auto-pilot down to Mars because I cant exactly use my arm for the moment, so if you want, you can try to pilot the ship to Mars while I modify the energy cell" Veda said with a smile before he gave of a grin leaping into the back seat.
"Just take us down to the War Technology Center, I can either fix my arm there or visit the brother, Rann was his name wasn't it? Depends how much time we got tho, there's a message here on the screen saying we should get our asses down to the War Technology Center now..." Veda added as he typed around on the keyboard and browsed through the screen.

"Damn," We're going to have to pull out. "There's nohing more we ca--" Mark was cut off as one of the battleship shells pierced his right wing. It sent him off course a bit but he recovered quickly and brought up his galaxy map on screen.
There was a rarely used warp gate (is that what they are called?) about twenty minutes flight time from the position. Since there was never any traffic out there, Mark wasn't even sure if it would work. It's our only hope. "All 501st ships, there is nothing we can do about these things, we're pulling out. Please follow me." he said calmly, then opened the link to Juac's ship. "Juac, get up! If you don't get up we're going to have to leave you!" he yelled, still convinced that Andrews was not dead.
Arthur, Research Station 413
It was a half hour after the ventilator switched on when Arthur drifted back to the present, sitting up groggily and looking around.
He took off the small chemical warfare mask, and placed it on the ground by his feet.
Standing up shakily, he used a nearby table for support as he made his way to the laboratory doors, which were locked. Hopefully someone would come along soon . . .
(OOC: This is a hint for someone to come along soon. *hint* *hint*)

Juac Andrews
Space
"G..o.. On.. Mar..k" It didn't matter what Juac said anyways, his communications were down and he had no way of physically contacting him.
Damn, what a way to die. I should of became a teacher. Heres to the end.
Juac tried to reach his left arm to the self destruct initiation key, but to his dismay, a sharp section of the ship had broked loose and pierced its way through his arm.
My luck...

"EMP Burst the stragglers, however let some get away. We need the word to spread that the renegade 501st on orders by the Freedom Fighters dared to attack the Wildcats battlegroup." the general told her gunnery commander.
Within seconds several large bursts of energy flew towards the retreating ships.
Satyana
station 413
After a good 30 min of venting, the instruments monitoring the atmosphere showd ok values for entering the laboratory, so she switched off the system.
The automatic electronic doorlock was still in position "locked".....that was weird...maybe something was wrong with the main comp? Damn it..if only Ranny was home..he would have fixed it in a sec! Now she had to manually unlock the door....blah!
She decided to wait doing that....it was no hurry to get into the lab at the moment..she could as well take something to eat first....
Then she came to think of that evil man that Arthur.....where was he? she couldn´t remember exactly what happened just after the release of chlorine-gas...
"Could it be that he still was inside the lab? Oh damn..then he was probably dead....hmmm a good thing but still....disposal of corpses was not her favourite thing!
Definitely she needed some fortification before investigating the lab!
OOC: Oh noes.....Arthur can stay in the lab for a while...it serves him right!

Mark circled Juac's ship for a minute, trying to figure out what to do. Did he wait for his friend to wake up, if he was even alive, and endanger what was left of the squad? Or did he leave his friend to make sure everyone made it out safely?
Damnit.
The 501st once again formed behind Mark seeing as he had basically taken lead of the squad. He sent the coordinates to everyone's Navcom, including Juac's. They were going to head back to Triumph and figure out what was going on...
The 501st were speeding away from the Wildcats and towards the warp gate when Mark picked p something odd on is radar. A larg wavee of static had erupted from where the wildcats were on it was speeding towards them.
"An EMP, move it stragglers, floor it!" Mark yelled, directed to the heavier fighters who had fallen behind. But it was no use. The slower fighters had been swallowed up in the EMP, their ships disabled.
"Twelve ships. Twelve ships is all that are left," a voice said over the radio as they approached the warp gate. They travelled in silence for the rest of the way until they got as close as the warp would take them to Triumph. About a half hour of flying time was left until they reached the space station.
Twleve ships....

Avlin brooded in the Swashbuckler. He had a plan for making the damn kids pay... He'd disable their lab instruments and take some parts for personal use.
Avlin then went to see that he had the right supplies for this mission: A balaclava, a blackjack, some energy disablers, a wirecutter, and a packet of chewing gum. He also brought his improvised machine gun with him, just incase things got nasty.
Then, once it got a bit dark, he made his way to the delivery entrance and took his time to observe the security on it...

Bottanics Trading Zone
Suddenly a huge blast came from behind, and ship began flying forward. legg shifted it along to dodge to the heavy traders. Police shis swept to the scene.
"What the Hell was that?!" screamed Kramer.
"Somebody fired on us in a hamster cave trading center? It's suicide!"
"That's are man!" yelled Wes. "Let's go, he'll follow."
The jetted out of the trading center with their smuggler behind them at full speed, and behind him, dozens of police vessels in tow. It didn't take long to lose them, and once they did the smuggler sent some more missiles. The Peregrine warrior dropped some duds to distract the missiles, and came in really close to the smuggler's vessel so they couldn't fire.
"Requesting a board," Wes communicated to the Vessel.
"Wes Hansek!" screamed the smuggler. "I've been hunting your boat for years you son of a umbrella seller! I'll kill you!"
"Is this what you meant by know him?" asked Lebbon.
"Just get the charts."
They docked together, the smuggler didn't hesitate. he ran into the Peregrine warrior with his gun in hand. "You honoured user! Give me one reason not to hamster cave killing you!"
Wes Hansek stayed cool, and raised his hand, which held a detonator with the button pressed down, and a little red light beeping. The smuggler paused.
"Okay, Jag, it's time to talk," said Wes.
Behind him, his men slipped away to board the smuggler's ship and retrieve the chart.
"hamster you Wes. I hamster cave trustedm you and you went behind my back."
"I never did compassion."
"You sicked the entire hamster cave mob on me. You ruined my career!"
"You have me confused. All I did was leave the ship during the attack."
"Yeah and you stole 400 for yourself."
"I can't help it, I see an opportunity and I go for it."
Wes saw from the corner of his eye, his men were back aboard with his charts.
"You betray me and you get what's coming to you," Jag demanded.
"I didn't betray you, Jag!" Wes yelled, throwing the detonator to the ground in frustration. Jag looked surprised before the flash went off. Seconds later he found himself back on his ship with the gate closed, his weapons disabled and the Peregrine Warrior speeding away.

"I'll check the dock one lst time, and then I'll check the lab,"
So Edward went back to teh docking area,
"Rann!! you in here?" his footsteps and voice multiplied by the space util he echoed. he looked around, and listened, he heard scraping on he othesie of one of the gates, and an occasional spark of someone fiddleing with live wires. but since they came from the other side of the gate Edward didn't make much of it,
Probably repairs or something
He then headed for the lab, hearing in the background what sounded like the lock on one of the gates opening.
OOC: your chance to follow him bob.

As Edward was walking to the lab, he ahd the most uncomfortable feeling, as if someone were watching him. He occasionally glanced behind him, only to find the hall way empty. he paused in front of the lab door, hearing a sound within, Edward slowly reached for the keypad and opened the door, inside he found "Rann,

The 501st once again formed behind Mark seeing as he had basically taken lead of the squad. He sent the coordinates to everyone's Navcom, including Juac's. They were going to head back to Triumph and figure out what was going on...
The 501st were speeding away from the Wildcats and towards the warp gate when Mark picked p something odd on is radar. A larg wavee of static had erupted from where the wildcats were on it was speeding towards them.
"An EMP, move it stragglers, floor it!" Mark yelled, directed to the heavier fighters who had fallen behind. But it was no use. The slower fighters had been swallowed up in the EMP, their ships disabled.
"Twelve ships. Twelve ships is all that are left," a voice said over the radio as they approached the warp gate. They travelled in silence for the rest of the way until they got as close as the warp would take them to Triumph. About a half hour of flying time was left until they reached the space station.
Twleve ships....

Stand-by for a Emergency ISND Report.
"It has come to our attention that elements of the 100th Navy Battlegroup have changed for the worse. Yesterday at approximatly 1400 hours the 501st Heavy Attack Squadron opened fire upon the un-armed experimental ship group, codenamed Wildcats. Reason's for this betrayel are uncertain, but what is certain is that these offenders when caught will be brought up on charges of Crimes Against Humanity. An offense that at the minimum contains the death penalty."
"If the possible whereabouts of the 501st are none, please do not hesitate to make contact with your local Defense Ministry Official."

Fraternity, Unknown Space
"There she is!" Wes grinned as they approached the massive space-station. "The center of radicalism throughout the solar system. You want to escape Government oppression, you come there. No key required. If you're wanted, you're welcome."
The communicator went off. "Please state your business at Fraternity," it said.
"We're hiding from the mob," said Wes Hansek.
A new voice came through the Comm. "I know that ship, you're the guys that assassinated Grubbuh."
Wes looked a little dishevelled. He didn't know he actually managed to kill him.
"What's your name?" asked the voice.
Wes hesitated, then hit the communicator button. "What do you care? Lemme in, we need to refuel and get out of here."
"Okay," said the first voice, "You're clear the dock at port 316 to your left. Please leave all fire-arms on your ship. High precision laser are allowed after inspection, any blade material is allowed, no rithum blades longer than two feet though. Thank you."
"Easy as pie," said Wes as he switched off the comm.
"Right, pie with razors in it."
"What? these guys love wanted criminals."
"They recognized our ship!" said Chev.
"Well, we're famous."
"Fame is only good if you have the compassion to back it up!"
"And we will!"
Nicholas Archer
Archer II
"Are we ready to go?" Archer asked as they set out in The Whistle
"Check," Said the admiral.
Archer handed command to the Admiral as they departed into open space. Tension was high among the fleet. They were about to cross a line they had not crossed before. They entered the warp gate and appeared at the space-station outside Saturn hours later. The fleet shifted through public space, with smaller ships flying by, some stopping to get a good look, many people curious as to what was going on. There were no records of HDF movement in the area, what was a military fleet doing in their space?
"There it is!" called the admiral, and they looked over the space-station. "HDF's main vessel supplier, the IGV factory A. On my command everyone launch their TFs"
There was a pause as all the ships in the fleet turned to face the factory that floated in the middle of space. A few robotic scouts zipped out to scan the fleet. "What's going on? Who are you guys?" asked a man interrupting on the commincator.
"Foreman Calligan I presume," said Archer. "Welcome to Hell."
"Now!" the admiral ordered, and immediatly every ship larger than a fighter blasted their TFs forward, which flew through their shields and slammed into the space-station. Immediatly a small defensive squadron flew out the docks. "Deploy the fighters!" the admiral ordered. Archer grinned and departed among the rest of the fighters into open war with the IGV factory's defense system.
"TFs active, launch your scuds!"
Missiles came overhead blasting across space toward the factory. Interceptor missiles rang out the sides of the space-station, catching missiles as they came. A few made it past and tore into the sides of the factory. Oxygen pipes exploded all around the factory.
"Bring in a second volley!" ordered the admiral, and again the missiles flew, this time the interceptors were not fast enough on the reload, and the entire factory combusted within minutes, seconds later becoming nothing more than a heap of steel floating around space.

Syke, RS 413
Syke went back to their home to relax for a bit after that whole ordeal with the attack.
He went to his datapad; it was flashing. Apparently, he had a new message.
In flashing red letters, it read:
You owe me money.
Syke immediately turned off the computer and put it in his pocket; best if Satyana couldn't find out.
Edward-Lab, UM
Edward sighed, he walked over to a table and brought out teh small case that had fragment of rithum in it,
"Since we are in ehre, might as wel get these things scanned, so i can study their structure later," he left the main lab room into a smaller room that contained the electron microscopes, Edward began the tedious process of slide preparation, the ha the computer slice thin slivers of each sample, which were then laid to rest in a thick plastic block, Edward began setting up the large machine twhile the slide dried. After about an hour he inserted the large slide with 36 rithum sampls into the microscope, he typed in the code telling the robot in operation what to scan, and then entered the larger lab area while the microscope did it's tedious scanning procedure.
"Now we wait and then we can get out of here for tonight."he said pulling out his laptop and searching th news, the attack message being the main headlines, while under smaller headings spoke of a base being recaptured from the rykar in pluto, and of a hostile attack against a laboratory orbiting mars.

"Syke? Fancy something to eat?"
She then just noticed her brother putting his datapad in his pocket..looking somewhat concerned
"Hey, Syke, what´s up?, For f***´s sake we´re family.....if you are in trouble we´ll deal with it together.....so what are you hiding from me??"
She entered the room....walked up to Syke, put her hand on his shoulder and squeezed it lightly

Mark switched off the open channel on his radio that he had just heard the announcement from, "Did any of you hear that?" he asked the squad shakily.
"What?" some of them asked half-heartedly.
Mark sat in silence for a moment than spoke up, "We are wanted for betrayel against the HDF for opening fire on the Wildcats."
"You're hamster cave kidding?"
"Wish I was..." Mark said as his voice trailed off.
A hopeful voice came on the radio, "I-it's probably just a mistake, right? We lost comm. with Triumph when the Wildcats attacked us, maybe something got jumbled over the radio?"
"We are about to find out," Mark said gravely as Space Station Tiumph grew larger as it was coming into view....

Anyways, Satyana was supposed to catch on when he said 'delivering'; I was just using that to show that syke was ashamed.
When I said that Syke would tell some of the story, the only part he was planning on hiding was Rann's involvement, which would be obvious to Satyana anyway.
Sorry about my confusing posts.
Rann, Lab
Once Ed left, Rann grabbed a rather large piece of blue Rithum and pocketed it; it could later be made into some more of his rare ammunition. Hopefully there was enough already for Ed not to notice.
If he does notice though...oh hell, we'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Satyana sat down on a bench outside the lab....thinking hard....obviously her brothers were involved in something not quite....ehh legal..but nevertheless, they had to stick together..they were family and that was the most important thing...so what would be the best to do?
She had to talk to Syke once again.....at least he was talkable.....
delivery service?
delivering what?
to whom?
why did that scum not pay?..hmm that one was in a bad position now antway! locked in in the lab..no way of gettin out...hmm
Okay....maybe they had commitments to other "customers" and if they couldn´t deliver to them, the whole enterprise was going down the drain...that must not happen.....some of the customers could easily get ....annoyed and then Syke hehe and Rann of course would be in danger..
Ok so she went back to Syke, bashing up the door saying:
"Okies lil´bro...now spit it out! We´re in this together..so I ´ll bail you out if needed...c´mon start talkin´...."

Edward was about to leave, until he realized he forgot to check the rithum samples to make sure he didn't leave any in the lab. Opening the case he knew already one was missing, of the 36 samples evenly spaced in the foam, with identification below each showed that rithum sample # 17 blue, was missing.
Edward looked around the lab, to see clear tables, he walked back into the microscope room and searched, incapable of finding the sample,
I wonder where I left it, how long has it been missing? maybe i left it back at the dorm, I'll check the scans if there aren't 36 then it means i left it back at the dorm.
He pulled the laptop up and opened the folder containing the scans, 36 individual slides.
"Rann, have you seen a piece of blue rithum somewhere, I know I scanned it but I can't find the sample."

In turn Ed studied Rann's features, he didn't look at him in the face, he shifted his weight suggesting he was uncomfortable. He didn't know much about the boy having been with him for only two days. he had placed alot of trust in him, maybe a little too much trust,since ed was dealing with the msot valuable compound in both empires. Rann had some rithum bullets, so logically one could expect him to find mre rithum to replenish the suply after it dwindled.
"Rann...look at me. That stone is very important for the research. I need all known variations of rithum to discover a way of synthesizing it. All I am asking is that you return it. no hard feelings."

Rann, Lab
What the hell? There's more of the damned blue stuff in there anyway.[I] he thought. [I]Oh, well, maybe you can turn this one around, Rann.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Rann asked,not noticing the faint glow that ws coming from his left pants pocket. "I didn't steal any of your Rithum, hell, I got it for you."
Hmm, interesting point. If I get caught, maybe I can say it's payment? That's kind of wrong though...

Ed leaned forward and rested his elbows on the counter, he stared into Rann's eyes. unable to detect any emotion, upon further scrutiny i dawned on him that they were cybernetic. He hid the feeling of surprise.
Damn it, Ed, you jumped to a conclusion and now look at where it's got you. Yo knew you should have approached it more cautiously, I bet it fell and is under a cabinet or something. and similar thought raced through ed's head. he broke eye contacts and avoided looking at Rann, he felt ashamed for accusing him of such a thing, he had after all proved himself at the dock. he dropped his head,
Might as well apologize,
"Listen Rann, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have jumped to such a conclusion, it's just ...." he lifted his head as he said this, the blue glow catching his eyes and drawing his attention until he stopped mid sentence.

Rann, Lab
Rann was actually feeling kind of bad until Ed stopped.
What is he staring at, my crotch? He looked down himself, to see that his pants were glowing.
He stuffed his hand in his pocket (purposefully avoiding the Rithum) and pulled it out, producing a power cell from within.
"Ha, I was looking for this." he began; rambling always helped get things off-topic. "I was using this to power the datapad that I crushed when I realized that I was being hunted. Oh, yeah, I forgot that I have to get a new chip for that too. Did you know that a majority of chips people use aren't even their own? I think it's like 65 percent of all datatpad owners or something ridiculous like that. Hey look," he said, pointing to the computer right beside him. "The transfer is done."
"Anyways, what was I talking about? Oh yeah, the power cell. It came with the computer, but see how I modified it?" he continued as he pointed to a small device protruding from the cylindrical object. "It made it so that I couldn't close the cell in the datatpad, and made it a little bigger, but I could go without recharging for weeks. I made one for my brother too, but he just gave it to Satyana because it 'made his datapad too big' I swear, microscopic is too big for that guy; he has no appreciation for invention whatsoever."
He stopped for a second to look at the door. How inviting it looked...
"Hey, listen, I'm gonna go grab something to eat, see you tomorrow birght and early." he said, waving as he headed for the door.

OOC: seeing as how bob doesn't want to attack we wills tumble into him.

Edward noticed the glow slowly fade as the powersupply was pulled aay from it
That's strange, so he does have the rithum, but why did it glow when it was near the powersupply.
he half-heard what Rann was rambling about, catching a few bits of information, "...It made it so that I couldn't close the cell in the datatpad..." an open soruce that means the rithum touched a live wire, it was conducting the power, but not as electricity like a metal, but turning it into light energy or something similar. that's peculiar. Edward didn't stop Rann from leaving, he had many questions that needed answering. Edward was snapped out of his thoughts as he heard the sound much like that when someone leans against something and it gives way. Edward looked to the door, and could see Rann's look of surprise as a man crouching against the outside door fell into the room, he seemed familiar yet Ed did not get a good look of the man's face.
Ed stood up as the man scrambled around.

Mark switched off the open channel on his radio that he had just heard the announcement from, "Did any of you hear that?" he asked the squad shakily.
"What?" some of them asked half-heartedly.
Mark sat in silence for a moment than spoke up, "We are wanted for betrayel against the HDF for opening fire on the Wildcats."
"You're hamster cave kidding?"
"Wish I was..." Mark said as his voice trailed off.
A hopeful voice came on the radio, "I-it's probably just a mistake, right? We lost comm. with Triumph when the Wildcats attacked us, maybe something got jumbled over the radio?"
"We are about to find out," Mark said gravely as Space Station Tiumph grew larger as it was coming into view....

Length wise the space station 'Triumph' was by far one of largest stations in the universe, if not the largest in the Outer Milky Way. It's length numbered almost 197km, enough to hold the entire fleet of humanity three times over. In fact in was so large that the station when being built, and to this day, attracted many numerous rocks and other space debris so that the station gained its own natural satellites.
However, the satellites were not limited to being natural. Among its perimeter hundreds of massive instalations floated about, each holding a Dual 2800mm Long Range Howitzer. These guns were capable of bringing down the heaviest of Rykar ships in mere seconds, but there was one major flaw to the gun. After every two shots the cannons needed to be completely replaced, limiting its defensive power.
The forward observation post of the Triumph space picked up the unidentified craft.
