Weapons and equipment: Laser Cannon and Heavy Servo harness with Heavy Titanium alloy plates
Job: Ship driver
Age: 24

History: He grew up in a mansion in the suburbs of NYC, was basically raised by his basset hound because him and his parents agree on little. Ever since he was a young child, 15 or 16, he has been exceptionally protective of the people he really liked. There have also always been very few of them throughout his life. He was given the nickname "The Shepard" more as a play on German Shepards then human ones, because once him and his friends were walking through NYC when they were 17 and eighteen, the last thing they were doing together before heading off to college. Tim and his friend Lola were at the back of the group and someone grabbed Lola's purse and ran, shoving her down. Tim flew into a wild rage and raced after the robber, not being as fast he felt his body tense and then explode in a burst of will, throwing him forward so that he crashed into the burglar with the force of a truck. He beat the downed man unconscious and returned Lola her purse. Later that night, he was washing his hands and noticed that there was a red wolf head tattooed on his palm. He lifted his shirt and saw the tattoo slowly crawl up his arm. He screamed as it covered his whole body, giving him a red layer. He ran out into the street, clawing at himself and falling to his knees. Then all the ink disappeared and he exhaled a sigh of relief. But suddenly, in an explosion of pain he felt his muscles grow and change, so much so that he was tall, muscled and deformed, looking like a hairless humanoid wolf. But soon thick, rusty brown hair grew everywhere, coating his body. The last thing he felt before passing out was strong hands grabbing him and dragging him away. He woke up in his friend Jessica's house. She was a small girl, very pretty, and with a childlike enthusiasm. He saw her in a very different way now. She was one of five people surrounding him, all wearing black leather jumpsuits with red wolf heads on the shoulders and fire decals running down the arms. They threw him a jumpsuit and forced him to join their interstellar band of pirates. They taught him to control his lupine form and change in and out at will. But he still hated them for their despicable actions. On one raid he planned to drive the ship straight into the hull of another, hoping to kill them all in a final burst of glory. But he saw Jessica's face and pulled up at the last second, turning and throwing himself from the craft. He landed on the hull of the other ship and ran inside, entering an airlock just as he became sure the void would claim him. He entered the ship and met up with the captain, who made a deal that he could stay on the ship and work for him, so long as he promised not to show any mercy to his pirate friends should they ever meet. Tim reluctantly agreed and for 3 years the relationship went well. But one day a small boarding craft pierced the ship and killed the entire on ship bodyguard before marching into the captains chamber. Tim was waiting there with the biggest gun and heavyest armor he could find, but when he saw that the attacker was none other than Jessica, he became overwhelmed by grief and shot the captain. Now he is reunited with his band of pirates and has realized, that despite their actions being less than commendable, they are his friends.
Personality: Protective, Loyal, Funny
Other: Hates tattoos and has a thing for huge guns and heavy armor

The base of the Homo lycans

Several members of the group moved around, alert for any incursion. The base was not on earth, but on mars as the last base was almost discovered. Tim sat in an office, thinking on what he was to do when the alarms started blaring "AWoooga...Awoooga.....Awoooga"

Atesehn looked at the large bio dome, surrounded by it's bunker complex. Several entry points presented themselves. He had had a feeling that he had to come here, that he had to find somone inside. That's when he heard the alarms as well. Moving forwards over red sand really was a pain, as it alwatys clogged his leg joints.

Sitting in a shuttle from Mars's main defence platform down to the surface is one of the most boring trips in the Sol system if the passenger lacked entairtainment. William wan't bored. He sat cleaning his cybernetics and his weapons. The militairy had called him down to meet with certain indivdual's who favored the sign of the wolf. They probably needed help with somthing.

Slash smashed through the doors. He had a mission. He was to retrive one of the people in this base, a female by the name of Jessica. She was part of a pirate crew that had docked on this planet for a while. As the UN couldn't prove who they where they could take no action against them.

"Let's just hope it's not another clean up job.." William muttered to himself, the last couple of months had been agonizing as the only real jobs for a man like him had been small clean up's... He needed something big this time, something worth his potential...

He slowly disassembled Ange and Morte his bolt pistols with a trained efficency, placing each part in a certain place before cleaning them rutinely and at last reassemble his darlings...

"What now?" Atesehn growls quietly, as he springs through the red sand, his cybernetic legs letting him make enourmous limbs. The large bio dome loming close, he draws his glowing heavy chem gun.

Tim stood up from his command throne and pulled his laser cannon into firing position.

"Group up, cover every exit, Jessica back to back" He shouted and all of his friends got into groups and kept their weapons trained on the doors. The northwest one exploded in and a dinosaur like being in armor with a large gun burst in and shot wildly. Most of the shots went wild but Tim could tell that they were intended for Jessica. He flipped around and blasted off an anti-infantry burst at the door next to the beast.

"Thats your warning shot, make a move and i put a burst through your head"

"Ha you have balls but all I want is the Female, give her to me and I might let you live!" Slash Said as he lifted his Weapon.
"Come on hand her over or else" Slash ordered pointing his Bolt LMG at Tim.
"Look it either both of you or one of you!" Slash said and pointed it at Jessica.

You realize that she's in the same room (an office) Tim (TheAngrySquig) Right? Edit if possible.

She is with TIm??? bugger will change it ASAP.

Read fellow players posts.

changed hope thats better.

With a deafening roar, Atesehn raises his large, glowing firearm at the newcomer. He could destroy the fool, without even using his weapons.

"Make another move, and I will tear you to pieces!"

Rules.

The glass ninja wrote:Rules.

What?

Oh paragraphs, sorry

Tim put on a cocky smile and let just his face turn Lupine for a second in an attempt to scare the intruder and stepped in front of Jessica.
"You want her you have to go through both of us."

Slash smiled.
"I love it when scum say that!" Said Slash as he lifted his and opened fire causing all to jump behind any cover. Slash himself leapt behind cover before the others had a chance to fire.
"Come on you think a threat could scare me? I kill people like you all the time just hand the girl over and no more blood shed." Slash yelled before the others began to fire. He knew neither he or the others would stop but it is going to be fun before they have to retreat.

Atesehn had had enough. This newcomer had tried his patience enough. With a crash Atesehn smashes through whatever happens to be in his way, towards the stupidly brave fool just metres away. He didn't need his gun. With a horrific laugh, Atesehn slams into the little lizard, so foolishly trying to fight. "THERE WILL BE BLOOD SHED!"

Tim put a round through the cover, setting his laser cannon to tank killer mode.
"DIE SCUMBAG!" He roared as he put round after round towards the door

Slash looked at the beast.
"Ha you think you a strong because of that armour come on take off you helmet look me in the eyes as your kill me!" The creature chuckled and removed its helmet to look the Krogan eye to eye. With out missing a chance Slash jumped back up and head butted the Creature in the face causing it to hold its head and stumble back give Slash a chance to run and re-plan.
"I will get you." Yelled Slash as he ran through the destroyed door.

Through the destroyed door tim saw the gigantic beast stumble. Seeing a potential ally in this fight he ran to it's side.
"Who was that, why is he here?" Tim asked, barely managing to keep his Lupine side in control because of his rage at someone coming for Jessica

"I do not know, Atesehn said, but whoever they are they shall die by my hands." Atesehn readied himself, the lizard creature had dared to headbutt him and as a result would pay a price. This humanoid could make a good ally. Especialy against the foolhardy reptile. Readying his weapon and putting his helmet back on, Atesehn follows his target.

"This is my base, I have the full thing bugged i can track an intruder anywhere, take this walkie talkie and I will guide you from the control room" Tim said, And stay here to protect Jessica he thought. He handed the large beast a walkie talkie and went to his computer to begin tracking

"I will soon find him. He can't run for long." Atesehn says to the small man-thing beside him. The lizard had tried his patience now. he would get him.
"Where now?" Says Atesehn throught the walkie-talkie to the man, having moved into place.

OOC: How the hell!? you can track me?

It's his base you realize, and as a pirate he would need good security systmems.

"Okay, hes in the south wing, if you cut through the ventilation system you can head him off in the mess hall." Tim said, watching the red blip move along the screen.

"Got it, over" says Atesehn. He rips open the ventilation grill, tossing it aside, and climbs inside the cramped ventilation shaft. It was pitch black, but that made no difference to Atesehn as he had long ago replaced his with glowing red, night-vision implants. He was nearing his target.

As William finished assembling his pistols, he looked out the window he would likely be briefed in a short while.

Slash could hear banging.
"Damn they found me." He said as he put his helmet on.
"I'm goin to have to make a run for it and keep a eye open for any security." Said Slash as he ran and shot anything in the way.

Atesehn finaly exits the ventilaion shaft, glad to be out of its cramped confines. He leaps down to the centre of the mess hall, a table breaking underneath his gigantic form.
"I'm in the mess hall. There is no sign of the lizard-thing here. Its silent." Says Atesehn. The reptile could be anywhere.

The shuttle settled on the launchpad, the red sands swirling around it. Williams pilot tapped the intercom. "They're some trouble at a local complex, i suggest you stay inside sir"

William would have finished cleaning and assembling all his weapons, and would be in his armour.
He looked out the window to see if there were anything spotable before calling up his Pilot "Do you know which kind of 'trouble' there's at this complex? and am i ordered to interfere or leave it be?"

"Fire fight sir" the pilot's voice came from the speakers set above the cotpit "Local law enforcment's moving in" He paused "They request your support"

"Well that's just dandy, of course i couldn't find a better way to spend my precious time than to save the local police from the gangs.. But if their incompetence is as bad as i remember.." William snickered as he jumped out the shuttle, readying his laser rifle for a firefight.

Atesehn had been stalking his quarry for a while now, all he had to do, after all, was follow the bullet holes. Atesehn had heard the shuttle land. More man-things would soon arrive. Only time would tell if they were allies or enemies. He didn't really care though. Either would be fine.

William called up his pilot "Would you be so kind to hand me the schematics for the building? and maybe patch me through to whoevers in charge."

"Okay, I've got a lock on him and our UN friend, regroup at my command center, hes headed this way." Tim said, setting his laser cannon up to blast apart the lizard as soon as he walked in.

"Fine, i'm heading there now." Says Atesehn. He was glad he could finaly fight his lizard friend. Atesehn readies his large, glowing cannon, and closes in on his target.

Tim heard his alien ally tap a claw on the gigantic door and opened it. He gestured for Atesehn to join the battle circle he and his friends were setting up

Atesehn enters the circle of the allied man-things, his weapon swaying from door to door, waiting for the enemy to arrive.

"Thanks for coming, good to have another guy with a big gun, and bigger armor, around." Tim said, attempting to be friendly to his new ally

Atesehn remains still as a statue, then slowly turns his head towards the man-ally beside him, his baleful red eyes staring him dead in the face.
"Heh heh." Says Atesehn quietly. "Funny."

"I try big man." Tim said and paid attention to the door.

"Sooo, No schematics?.. Well i always have to do everything myself." William said as he moved towards the Command central.

Little did william know that his pilots cold corpse was sitting in it's chair a spear bolt through it's chest. The mysterious assailant walked away through the martian sands, towards the compound.

"Anyone out there?" William called over his communication device, he was starting to worry for his pilot, he couldn't have missed all those comm sends..

But he couldn't turn back now, he were to close, if the complex would follow the standard Marsian lay-out the command central would be just around this corner and through a couple of blast doors..

The room was eerily quiet now. They had been standing there for a while now,no sign of anyone at all. Atesehn was growing impatient now.

"Where is the lizard-thing? Is it even coming?"

Slash dropped down from a balcony.
"You miss me?" He said as he fired his machine gun causing the creature leap behind cover.
"Come on1 You think because its dark I can't see you." Slash yelled. He held the trigger and ran back if the creature thinks its still being shot at it will stay behind cover. As Slash ran down the corridor he empted his clip and reloaded it.
"Good battle see you when I've got the female" Yelled Slash as he ran down the corridor.

you can't do that.

Its unbalenced and you can't say what I do, without letting us react.

Uhh, everyone carry on from above the BT's post?
Glass ninja, you agree?

From above BT's post:
"He's on his way, just relax. Also we've got a new life sign in the base, its a human, Martian I think." Tim said, keeping a steady aim at his door.

"Strange, who could that be? A friend of yours, human?" Says Atesehn, who is sitting in a corner, looking over his augments and implants.

As William reached the blast door that would be the entry to the command central he tried to look for some kind of control pannel, or maybe a way to communicate with whoever would be hidding in this base.

"I don't know, I'll talk to him over the vox." Tim said.

[i]Hey you there! Why are you at my blast door, this is an open channel, respond freely."

"I am William Nale, Special operative of UNETIU, my help was requested by.. Well i'm not really sure by who, i was told to drop down here and my Pilot isn't responding to any of my hails... What's your situation Mister..?"

"Wish I could say mate, but all I can tell you is that there is an unidentified lizard mucking about my base and I would very much like to kill it" Tim said and let William in.

"The damn thing headbutted me" Says Atesehn suddenly, "I would very much like to kill him."

William shot a quick glance around the room before nodding at the man who seemed to be in charge, he walked towards them and said "So who are y'all and what does this lizard bugger want?"

"He wants the girl, I think" Says Atesehn. "No idea why though. He's been a hard lizard to catch."

Sorry got loads to do just got loads of things to do will right a new bit later.

"I'm Tim Daniels, this lizard feth wants to take my Jessica, and clearly that is not going to happen". Tim said, pointing towards where Jessica lounged in his chair holding a bolt pistol and looking bored

Dirge grimaced slightly and his vehicle jostled and bumped. He was dispatched to a compound, response to some disturbance or another. "Probably shorted out a microwave, blew off some fingers," Dirge muttered himself, then chuckled at the mental image. As he approached the compound, he heard gunfire from inside. He quickly disembarked from his vehicle, dragging his hammer along with him. He took three steps from the car, then turned around and grabbed his helmet, which he had left. Dirge patched in on the Vox: "Hello? Anyone in there?"

"Hello, who's speaking?". Tim responded to the anonymous vox call

"Private Dirge Hemley, specialized Third Recon, who're you?"

"Tim Daniels, do you know anything about why someone would want Jessica?"

"Don't know nothing 'bout no Jessica man, I just been dispatched 'cause of some disturbance," Dirge replied as he thumped through the complex, hammer at his side. He swung his head side to side, peering into divergent rooms and hallways. "You mind telling me where you might be? I'm afraid I'm quite lost,"

"So Tim any particular reason to why anyone wants 'your' Jessica?" William said trying to remember if or were he might have seen Tim before, the name rang a bell somewhere..

"Dirge I'm in the main control room, follow the signs to the mess hall and take the vent shaft, the one thats busted up a little from when Atshen went through. And as to you William, no I don't know why, but it doesn't matter, he isn't getting her."

"Where is that lizard anyway?" Says Atesehn, "You seen him around Dirge? If you do, please feel free to kill him."

"Don't get to excited man, we want him alive for questioning, then you can kill him." Tim said, checking his laser cannon for the 10 millionth time

"Of course...Of course," Dirge followed the signs, seeing no sign of the rogue Krogan. After a couple of minutes of wandering, Dirge located the mess hall. He made sure to grab a couple of the cold biscuits from the kitchen, as well as a bottle of water. "No use fightin' lizards on an empty stomach," he muttered, accidentally broadcasting it over the vox. "Whoops, sorry,"

"Hahaha, its no problem, I like a warrior who can eat, now come through that banged up vent on the left, its sturdy, I promise." Tim said, laughing at the man stealing his biscuits.
"And there's some ice cream in the freezer if you want it."

Asleep in the corner, half buried in food, sits Atesehn, snoring loudly, muttering something about lizards and soup.

Tim looks over and chuckles.
"Reminds me of Scarlett." He says, remembering his dog from Earth, who would always sleep and have dreams about running.

Dirge awkwardly clambered into the vent, his girth only able to pass through thanks to the mangling provided by the Chimerian. Dirge emerged on the far side to get his first look at his compatriots. "You know, it would be easier to have a door,"

"Sorry, it would have been twice the walk for you, and twice the amount of direction giving for me, but if I had of realized how big you were I would have told you to go around, jeez are you half ox?" Tim asked jokingly

"Half? You're lucky I don't have horns," He laughed, then gestured towards the Chimerain buried in lunch, "Who's buggy over there?" He sent a small kick towards the prone figure, toppling a few dinner rolls from the mound.

"Haha, welcome to the control center. Thats Atesehn, hes from God only knows where, but hes handy in a fight, the lizbitch nailed him in the face though, so he wants revenge

"Dear lord, there are televisions everywhere!" Yells Atesehn, waking suddenly, sending dinner flying in every direction. "Huh? What? Who are you, with the hammer?"

"Damn it Atty, calm down, this is our new friend Dirge." Tim said, wiping snack cakes off his shoulder pads

"Agh! Geese!" Dirge yelled, starting back away from the jumping Chimerian. He swung the hammer, though stopped himself, skewing it off course and driving a hole into the wall. "Some warning next time?

"Hmm, apoligies. I was deep in sleep." Says Atesehn, getting to his feet, sending various foods rolling in all directions. "Atesehn. Good to meet you"

"Damnit Atesehn, stop with the snack cake throwing!" Tim said, wiping something off his visor

"No problem, eh, Ateshn," Dirge was attempting to dislodge his hammer from the wall, but it was stuck fast. He yanked for a few minutes, before the hammer suddenly jarred free, and Dirge was flung back onto his rear. "Yeah, yeah, laugh it up," he muttered in response to the other's glee at his tomfoolery. "If the threat's gone, why not just pack up. I figure if we can get away from it now, there won't be any problems,"

"I don't know, I'm not comfortable with the fact that he's still in the base, especially with him after Jessica." Tim said. Jessica awoke with a start at hearing her name.
"Uh, what? Oh sorry Shep, I dozed off, what was that you wanted?" She asked, blowing a lock of golden hair out of her face and straightening herself in Tim's chair.
"Nothing Barbie, go to sleep." Tim replied and smiled.

"Well, we're more likely to find him if we look for him. Even he won't be stupid enough to attack all of us here." Says Atesehn, once again slumped in the corner.

"Fine, your right, lets move out, we'll take the main hallway and check the mess hall, thats where you all ended up at some point or another. Dirge take point, Atesehn bring up the rear, Jessica stay close to me." Tim said and lifted his laser cannon.

"Great, lets go." Says Atesehn. "What should we do to him when we get to him anyway? Kill him? Interogate him?"

"Right, right, let's go. Go catch us a lizard," Dirge mused as the group made their way through the various hallways. Dirge took a prepared stance, his sledge held in a ready position. There were sounds of rustling, and muffled bangs far off, though they had yet to encounter the hostile Krogan. Dirge gave slight starts at each noise that sounded from adjoining rooms and hallways. "Wish he'd just come on out and attack us. I hate waiting,"

(Oh dear, is that godmodding?)

"Remember we want to capture him, I need to know why he wants Jess." Tim said through the vox to Atesehn and Dirge

William would silently while measuring the people in the group ready his Laser Rifle and running slightly behind the rest of the group letting his eyes rest only for a short while on the newcomer before moving them back at the Bug.

OOC: Nope!

IC: The krogan ran, as Krogan run. The shadows closed on the panting figure. "Gak" he screamed, turning and firing into the dark. The dark halls slowed him, making him check every corner, every room. Somthing moved behind him, he kept running. He turned a cornor and smashed into a blast door, his bulk making a dent. Blood ran from his face. He turned to face his enemy.
His gun came up. Bang! Bang! Bang! The thing of darkness advancing on him. The massive crossbow came up, and his blood ran in streaks down the blastdoor.

Dirge ran in, the target was dead, the woman in front of him was holding a massive crossbow and she was very distracting to a normal human " Call the rest of your friend's here"

NEW NPC

Name: Laura Arris (Name suspected to be Alias)

Personality: Unknown

Apperance:

History: Unknown

Equipment: Custom heavy crossbow
Twinned mono molecular Katanas:

"What the hell have you done!?" Tim barked as soon as he saw the girl standing over the Krogan body.
"I wanted him ALIVE!" Tim shouted his teeth curving into massive fangs, his body growing, the foam padding in his armor taking account for it, his skull extending, and thick auburn fur sprouting all along his body. He let out a massive roar and waited for the girls response

The crossbow bolt took him in the chest. It didn't kill him, just threw him back "We know what you are, Mister Daniels, and that bolt has a very rare substance which counteracts your....traits" She giggled "You're lucky they said they didn't want you dead"

As William entered the room and saw the Krogan lying dead and a large.. Animal? standing nearby he was uncertain of where he should aim his Laser Rifle, as he slowly moved towards the back of the room he let his aim move from Wolf-Man to the Young Crossbow-armed Lady and lastly to the seemingly dead Krogan, he recalled being told about their 'surviveability' he'd better be sure...
"Who the hell are you suposed to be sugar?" he said at the Young Female.

Tim coughed up a glob of blood and spat.
"You're lucky they gave you that virus, who are you?" Tim growled, his head barely staying up and his eyes close to shutting from the pain of the bolt

"Wrong choice!"

Dirge hollered, charging into action. He hurled himself forward in a few broad strides and swung his kinetic sledge in a crushing haymaker that would break diamonds.

"Dirge wait!" Tim shouted as he saw him charge.

The girl seemed to dissapear, a katana intercepting the sledge and sending it flying "Bad move Mister Dirge!" the girl giggled. Her fist slammed into his gut and sent him flying back. Then she turned to william, her cheerful demeanor fading "Call me sugar again and i will kill you"

Once again, Dirge was forced to divert a hammer hurtling toward a suspected target. The hammer instead flew over the woman's head. He brought it to a stop after the momentum dragged him off balance.

"You're damn lucky," he jabbed a finger at the woman, then he turned to Tim, "Why shouldn't I crush her into a smear on the wall? She shot you!"

"Shes clearly here for a reason, and she didn't kill me, that means I owe her." Tim responded finding it extremely hard to retain a level head through the pain in his gut

With his gun's aim jumping from Krogan to Girl to the guy with the hammer and lastly to the beast he quickly end up back against the wall, considering his options.
"Okay then Miss, i'm certainly not planning to get gutted right-away. and now can someone please tell me what the eff is going on here?!"

"That's crazy! You owe her because she assaulted you instead of killing you?!" Dirge picked himself off the floor. "Tell you what, sugar" he lathered sarcasm thick on the word, "I'm going to leave this building, get in my car, and drive to the nearest town to have a drink. The rest of you better do the same," He turned and stalked from the room.

"Dirge get back here!" Tim said and pulled the bolt from his chest.
"Tim, may I?" Jessica asked, voice as sweet as honey.
"Of course." Tim said and waved in Dirge's direction.
"YOU PATHETIC FETH! I KNOW THINKING ISNT YOUR STRONG SUIT BUT YOU SHOULD GIVE IT A GODDAMN WHIRL! THIS CRAZY BITCH SHOWS UP, KILLS THE LIZARD, AND TELLS US THAT SHE WANTS TIM ALIVE! NOW EVEN YOUR PEA SIZED GAK OF A BRAIN CAN REALIZE THAT IT IS A BAD IDEA TO IGNORE HER!" Jessica shouted, her voice piercing the air like a million knives.

"Private Dirge, by the order of the UNETIU i am authorized to use lethal force when i see fit, and since when did abandoning your duties become allowed in the military? I expect you to Man-up you numb-headed thick-skulled son of an Ox." William said as he aimed his Laser Rifle at the back of Dirge's knee, expecting a reaction.

Dirge turned toward the group. "I'm no genius, but at least I know how to survive. This," he pauses for a moment to choose a correct word to describe the newcomer, "lady, shows up from nowhere, kills a krogan, then shoots Tim, and you expect me to go along as if it were normal?" Dirge ranted, though he returned to the room. He leaned against the wall, and sighed.

William would shoot Dirge a mean look before focusing his Laser Rifle and aim at the Lady, only looking away for moments of time to try to figure out some sort of escape route.

Atesehn roars as he charges towards the newcomer, his weapon raised, riring wildly. He had not seen her yet, as he had been around the corner, guarding the back.

"ATTY!" Tim said, blocking the Chimerians path.
"Swear to god the next person to attack our new guest is getting a las bolt through them, now newcomer, speak." Tim ordered

The girl giggled again and began leaping around, tight muscles flexing under the kimono she wore. She jumep to Astehen "Grumpy" She giggled, then she jumped to tim "Wolfy" She laughed, to dirge "Baldy" She guwaffed and finally William "Voody" The laugheter rang out. Her chest heaving after the fit was done. "Well i'm here because my boss, mister Garcia off the Sectorats want somthing" The Sectocrats's name sent shivers down all present, except Astehen's spines, they basically ran industry on earth "We lost some cargo with a navy vessel in the Archonian sector, we want you to get it back" Her voice had lost it's childish edge, but that had already been overlooked by the human's in the room due to her voleptous figure. A kunai flashed from her hand landing a few inches beside dirge, embedded in the wall "Compare me to a condiment agiain and the next one goes for the balls"

"I do not work for the Sectorats lady, i don't care how much you threaten me or try to bribe me." William said tracing his Laser Rifle after the Girl not letting her escape the barrel for more than a milisecond.

Dirge sighed again, and rubbed his eyes, before finally sinking to the ground, sitting against the wall. "I don't like your tone, miss. Besides, I'm military, and until I'm discharged, I'm not accepting any private contracts from anyone, no matter how well it pays. You have five minutes to convince me this 'job' is in UNETIU's best interests, else I'll be heading back to report to my CO,"

"Yes, why should we help you, girl?" Atesehn says loudly, his cannon constantly aimed at her.

Dirge stood up from his sitting position, and took note of the several guns trained on the intruder. "Seems to me, girly," Dirge started, using a similar cutesy voice that she had used when she had insulted him, "that your word is not so easily trusted. Sectorat is so corrupt, it had to visit a damned tailor just to fit all those politicians in its pocket," He laughed at his rare gleam of wit. Dirge sobered up quickly. He pulled the strange knife from the wall, tossing it to the girl's feet. "Threaten me again, girl, and see what happens," he left the challenge out in the air, returning to his original position leaning against the wall.

"Threaten me again and I kill everyone you have left to love" She turned to the others "We will kill your famalies, your friends, every single person you love, and after all that pain we will kill you" She looked sad "I don't want to kill innocents, i don't want to hurt children" She looked at Ateshen "They will eradicate what is left of your race, hunting them down, one by one" She smiled sorrowfully "They will put a bounty on your women and your children, they will capture them, and experiment on them" She stood and began paceing "All you have to do is go the Archonian sector and get the cargo, we'll even throw in a ton of cash...and we won't get you all fired"

"Girl I don't think you understand what's going on here... There's enough guns traced on you to kill a small army, and you're trying to fuckover some pretty hardcore soldiers. This is the last time we'll have to say this, feth you and feth your bosses, i don't work for Corporations. and hurting my family is one of the things not even your bosses would get away from." William said still aiming his Laser Rifle at the Girl who had just threatened him and his family.

Dirge chuckled bitterly at the girl's statement. "Kill everyone I love? You'd have to dig them up and bring 'em back to life first," He stepped away from the wall he was leaning on, hefting his hammer. "Now I don't know about what my friends here are going to do, but you have very little leeway with me. We on the other hand, have several guns pointed at you. Make sure you know what your next sentence will be,"

"HAhahah! My family? My loved ones? My race? Don't care, they can all rot!" Shouts Atesehn loudly, roaring with laughter. But switching instantly to being serious, he says; "But if you mess with my friends here, I WILL, Rip your goddamn head off, sugar. And don't think I can't or won't."

The tension in the air could be cut with a string, not that Dirge cared. He checked his watch one last time before heading for the door, his hammer slung over his shoulder. He called back, "Seeing as you've done nothin' to convince me, I have little choice but to leave. Good luck with your cargo,"

"Oh Miiisteeer Dirrrrrge" The girl said in a singsong voice "We know about your brother, the one in intensive care at the luna medical instutute?" She paused for a moment "The cargo contained information on a plant that could stop the lungrot...which was manufactured by chimerans" She looked at the resident alien "Are you proud of that? That your race slaughtered most of this man's" She pointed to dirge "family? and now you refuse to save the last of them"

She reached into her Kimono and drew a data pad "Mister william, that's your resignation form, sign it if you're still not willing to do the job" She narrowed her eyes "Haven't you figured out that we own your orginization?"

Lastly we turn to tim "You'll do it, won't you, seeing as you owe me?" She said in a condescending tone "A little insentive is the fact that we'll pay you, refit your ship and not reveal your race to the UN exno biologists".

Dirge's eyes widened at her words, and he spun around, pointing at her. "That's a filthy lie! There's never been a cure for lungrot. You haven't got any proof of this cure anyways," Though Dirge refused to believe her, he was back in the room now. He started pacing, ignoring what she said to the others. He started muttering to himself so the others couldn't hear. "Why'd they have the cure? She's just trying to trick you, she doesn't have a cure for anything. But what if they do?" He turned back to her. "Alright, fine, I'll do it. But if there's no cure, no amount of money or fancy sword tricks will stop me from breaking you,"

"Okay, so we're all in agreement then? Miss Arris if you would be so kind, lead the way." Tim said, finally snapping out of the daze from the poison.

"And why should I help, eh? She's done nothing more than make hollow threats against me for the last five minutes. Give me ONE good reason to help and I will."

"Whats a good reason not to? Look I know your no lover of humanity, and you have nothing to lose, and you don't see things like us, but your race needs to have some basic concept of fate. She shows up, breeches a state of the art security system and has shown considerable resources and martial skill. If for no other reason then to travel the stars and have a good adventure, maybe even get some fun in your old bones, then do it to please whatever deity you may worship." Tim said, staring straight into the hulking face before him.

"Fair enough." Says Atesehn quietly. "But not for you" He says, pointing a steel finger at the newcomer. "And give me one reason, an single reason to do it, and I will kill you."

"There's a lot of 'kill kill kill' going around, I say we should do a team bonding thing before we go on a mission." Tim joked

The girl laughed. It was back to it's childlike tone. Her eyes shone bright as she stood. "Well mister alien sir, i have some newwws!" She skipped in a circle "You can't kill me" She placed a finger conspiratorially to her lips "My daddy says so" She smiled and sat again, her tone became serious "But back to bussiness, you will all be payed, you will also recive three favors. The Sectorats will see that these conditions are met" She walked to Dirge "Your brother will be healed" To william "Your parents released and your job secured" To Tim "Your race supported and protected" To Ateshen "You get to have an adventure" She smiled again "Please don't compare me to a condiment, before daddy found me, bad people had me"

(Right, you might have noticed that she has SPD, or split personality disorder, she's also insanley emotionally scarred and slightly psychotic)

"One thing there mini, we're taking Jess with us" Tim said

Dirge gave her a look. Now she has daddy issues. I know I'm going to regret this. Dirge gestured towards the door, and asked "So girly, do you have any plans to get us to the archonian sector, or shall we hop in my car and I'll fly us there?"

"Well.. Isn't this just fan-fething-tastic, just what i need, to be threatened by a psychotic kid, to work for people i hate, to do a job that will almost certainly get me killed. What a nice start on the week!" William mumbled as he lowered his Laser Rifle

"Okay guys, lets all stop complaining, theres plenty worse things you can do in this universe. Now I have a ship that can take us to the Archonian sector, we've all got guns and armor and supplies, and I am goddamn sure that none of you are gonna get killed, especially not with you here" Tim said jerking a finger in Jessica's direction

"Ok. Thats get going. Lead the way, missy." Says Atesehn, gathering up great armfulls of food.

"Atty why must you take my food?" Tim joked.
"Also, for the rest of you, who can pilot a ship, because I can, but I'm really a lot better on the guns." Tim said

"Oh, I can fly very well. I got to this planet afterall. And my race, we eat a lot" Says Atesehn, his mouth half full with various food.

William picked up the nearest Apple and polished it for a second before starting to eat it. "Yea we better refuel.."

"You guys really think that me, a known pirate lord, only has this cat gak around?" Tim asked and flicked a button on the wall. A grand banquet table popped up in the center of the room and various delicacies from across the galaxy were presented to the team

After two days on a ship, in a cramped cell Termio felt the ship dock with a mighty clunk and his cell door open but nobody their.
“Get out” A voice said from a speaker “Get out or we will gas you and drag you out!” It repeated. Not wanting trouble Termio stud up bound by the clamps on his hands and his tail with a mighty clamp. Walking out of the cell Termio saw 2 guards with Bolt rifles and 1 of the pilots holding Termio’s heavy weapon.
“Wheres this one going?” Said one of the Guards.
“Take him to the boss.” Said the pilot pointing off the ship “We will bring his gear out” said the pilot as the guards lead out Termio. Walking down the narrow corridors and gloomy rooms Termio saw decay everywhere flesh and metal.
“What the hell is this thing?”Asked a guard
“Some weird race called Merot don’t piss it off that thinks is tough.” Replied the other guard.
“Why does it wear the robe?” The guard asked again.
“Why do you ask so many question?” The guard replied.
After 20 minutes of arguing with each other but final they made it to the hall where they were holding a banquet with different food and other species attending fully armoured and weapons in reach.
"Ahhh our newest guest has arrived, so how do you like our home?” Tim said as he rose from his seat and walked towards Termio. The two guards next to Termio hit his legs and Termio fell to his knees without letting out a grunt and at that time the pilot brought Termio’s armour and weapons in having to use a lift to bring in the armour.
“Now lets look at you face to face." Tim said as he lifted off the hood. Suddenly Termio lifted his head and broke his cuffs and tail guard and lunged at Tim, grabbing his throat and lifted him in the air. Grabbing their weapons everybody watched Termio like a hawk.
“Everyone guns DOWN!” Tim said as he moved his arms to get the guards to lower their weapons.
“Hm you...have.....good.....warriors! But...they...could be......better.” Termio struggled to talk in this strange language.
“They could indeed, but you are quite good, say what you have to say.” Tim replied.
“These.......words mean.........little. For..........now I..........use them.” Termio Said. He dropped Tim, kneeled down, moved his tail to his hand and cut it and placed it on Tim’s chest.
“ I....pledge to serve.... till ....I am....... no longer ......needed.” Termio pledged.
“And I am in no position to decline you that, bring him his gear. And you, pull up a chair.” Tim said and Termino followed.

"So Termio, where are you from?" Tim asked, tossing the alien a fruit

Dirge growled at the newcomer. This Termio was just another reason to watch his back on the mission. Gotta remember, this is for Daniel, he thought, turning away from the alien once it had sat down. Most of the food in front of him he didn't recognize, and so ignored, but there were plenty of Earth based food, which he tore into with a vigor.

"Dirge my friend we're at a feast. LIVE A LITTLE!". Tim roared with a laugh, tossing the giant of a man a grell sausage, a sausage made of the meat from the agri-world Grellis IV.

Dirge stared at the strange meat with distaste, it was oddly colored for meat, and had a smell akin to week old turkey dogs, but when Dirge hazarded a bite, it was delicious, though he decided it was too spiced for his taste. After the occasion with the grell sausage, he tore into the meal, emptying plate after plate of strange foods. He sat back after his third helping of Limar venison, an animal from a far-flung human colony. "I never knew so many kinds of food existed," he sighed with satisfaction, then continued, "so what's your story eh Tim?,"

"Haha, my story? Well before I got picked up by these pirates, nothing all that interesting happened. I was hanging with my friends and this guy snatched my friends purse. Now I loved this friend like a sister, she meant everything to me. So I went and kicked the guys ass. Afterwords I got this weird tattoo that crawled around my body and basically engulfed me. I passed out and woke up in the care of these pirate bastards. They taught me how to control my mutation. I was gonna kill them all, I swear I was. But Barbie stopped me, and I realised I loved them like a family. I stayed on earth a bit, finished college at Sarah Lawrence and then went with these guys to the stars. After the old captain died, he gave me the position, because while the others retreated, I stood and fought the beast that killed him. The rest is history, I've lead raids, grown the empire, done what I wanted, and lived large. I love a good adventure, and y'all are alright, so I think this is gonna be a good mission. What about you Country, how'd you come to this?". Tim asked laughing as Dirge devoured more food

"Simple one I guess. Ma died early, a car crash. Had four older brothers, big and stupid, the lot of us. Drecker was the oldest, then Daniel, after that was Shea (Pronounced Shay), and then Farkas. Pa was a mechanic, fixed farming equipment and whatever else people dragged into his shop. He was an angry guy, never really focused on raising us," Dirge paused, taking note of a bottle of whiskey in arms reach. He snatched it up, using its contents to fill his flask, then he replaced the half empty liquor bottle. "All of us, 'That Hemley lot,' they'd call us, went and joined the military. Drecker went into artillery, Daniel joined him. Shea ended up an officer, and Farkas a footman. I joined a recon team focused of close quarters combat, we saw a whole bunch of urban combat during the Chimerian wars," He paused a second time to take a long draw from the bottle, preserving the whiskey in his flask for later. "Drecker, Shea, and Farkas died in that war. Drecker took a piece of shrapnel to the jugular, bled out. Shea hopped on a grenade, made himself a hero, and Farkas was gunned down in combat. Daniel caught lungrot soon after the war ended, and he's been on Luna ever since. I got stuck back on mars with a two-bit patrol job,"

"That's rough man, I'm sorry about your brothers. But hey, we're gonna get that lungrot cure, I swear on my life I'll die for it if I have to.". Tim said, now itching to get started

"What about you? Whats your story?" Says Atesehn, a large worm-like thing hanging from his mouth.

Termio grabbed the fruit and ate it whole it was bitter but nice he then turned to Tim;
"You....Speak of.......my...home? It....has...no ...name. I...once had.... a... mate....a...wife...you call....and a..... daughter....but..they....are...lost." Termio said. After he spoke he turned to Dirge only to see the look of disgust on his face.
"You have..... no need..... to..... hate me...... or ....fear ...me. I....made a......oath...to....serve Tim.......not to harm.......him..or..others." Termio spoke and then he began to feast on the fine selection of food.

William looked from one monster to another while he slowly cut an apple into pieces eating one piece at a time..
"So... When did this mission turn into a gluttonous feast and an idiotic talk about pasts?"

"Before it started" Says Atesehn who is eating what looks like an enourmous chicken with 6 legs. "So, when are we going to get going?"

Dirge looked thoughtfully at Termio, hesitated for a moment, then spoke, "Damn shame 'bout your family. Hope they died quick man," Dirge hoped he had found a kindred spirit, even if it was something he'd never seen before.

"Well boys, we've all had a good time, but we've yet to hear Atty's story. And Will thats it five minute timeout, corner chair." Tim said

"Hmm, ok. I fought in the chimerian wars and several others. My parent were both killed. My two brothers also lost their lives in the fighting. Bad times. From then onwards, i've also been a sort of pirate. Raiding the accasional small ship that passes my way unprotected." Says Atesehn, before eating a bright red lizard.

"I am not some kind of child Timothy." William said while continuing his dissection and eating of the apple.

"Compared to me you are. Heh heh heh" Laughs Atesehn, half drunk on a vodka slug.

The girl sat in the corner, looking at the orgy of gluttony in front of her. "The final cog has arrived" her eye twitched and her voice gained an octave "Father will be pleased" Again, with the eye twitch "Yes, yes he will" She looked at them "We have to go soon, i suggest you finish up, and you" She said, pointing to termino "Serve Tim, and since he serve's my master...you serve me" "NO ME!" "NO ME!" Her voice kept changing. She popped a pill from a holder on her belt "Mental suppresants" She said slyly "We had better go, there is a varex missle, yes the kind that uses anti-matter, heading here...should arrive in fifteen minutes."

"wait... Did she just say that there were a Varex missile heading here?" William said wide eyed suddenly standing with his hand on the rifle.

"Huh? What is that? Never heard of one." Says Atesehn eyes narrowing.

"That is pretty much a Black Hole in missile form my good buggy friend." William said eyes wide.

Dirge stood from the chair, hefting his hammer from its position leaning against the wall. "Well, I don;t much feel like being chewed up by antimatter, so I'm going back to my vehicle to fetch some personal effects, then we can leave,"

"What he said" Say Atesehn, smashing through several walls.

William grabbed his stuff and ran after Atesehn only following a couple of paces behind.

"Who sent a varex missile at my base? I LIKE THIS BASE! Dirge no time, meet in the shuttle bay in five minutes, if not, I WILL leave without you, are we all clear? C'mon Jess, we're going." Tim said and picked up the girl, slinging his gun over his shoulder.

Termio grabbed Tim and the girl and put them over his shoulder and began to sprint.
"You...are....a...sluggish race....I...will get...you...there....tell..me...where to ...go!" Termio said as he ran down the corridor.

Dirge panted slightly as he bounded down the hallways. Alarms had begun sounding all over the base, the defense systems picking up the missile on radar. Suddenly, Termio upended Tim and Jessica, and rocketed past the others. "Show off" he hollered after him. Soon, they reached the docking bay, and begun boarding. Dirge grumbled as he climbed the ramp into the ship. "I left my watch in that car,"

"Haha you're quick man, thanks for the lift.". Tim laughed and clapped his friend on the back.

With a thud Atesehn lands next to the ramp, having leapt a great distance, and runs aboard, hauling a sack of food after him.

Running only paces behind Atesehn he followed quickly into the shuttle.

"All aboard express train to run away from a black hole in a box.". Tim said, laughing despite the intital danger

Termio Ducked down a entered the ship to protect his master.

Tim flicked up the switches as everyone climbed aboard, checking the systems and testing the throttle. He rose it up and shot out of the air lock. The base streamed beside him and he jumped to hyper space right before the missile turned his base into a heap of empty space

"Lord knows who's gonna get the blame for that" muttered Dirge, staring out a window. Suddenly, the ship jumped and roared as it powered into hyperspace. Dirge cringed in his seat, as the artificial gravity had yet to activate. He huddled there uncomfortably for several minutes, the only thing keeping him in his seat were the harnesses. Suddenly, it turned on, depositing Dirge into the chair with a THUNK

"I hate space travel,"

"We nearly out of range?" Says Atesehn, rummaging through the bulging bag. "I don't much feel like imploding."

"We'll be okay in hyperspace, we're probably already out of range." Tim said, setting the auto pilot and walking back to the crew cabin

"Well... I guess that we're out of the system now Dirge" William snickered.. "There isn't many people that survive getting shot by a Varrex missile."

"This is not gonna be easy kid, theres an asteroid field at those coordinates." Tim growled, keeping control of the jerking ship through experience and luck alone

"Shut up" Dirge grunted, trying his best to hold back the heavy meal he had eaten. The constant jerking and lurching of the ship was weakening his stomach, so he decided to focus his attention on holding back the half digested meal from hopping back out.

"Damn it." Says Atesehn. "I should not have eaten so much. this 'adventure' better be worth it."

"I can hold her, I do this a lot." Tim said, inspiring them with fake confidence

Never mind, ignore this one.

"So, where to now?" Atesehn says to his new employer, a large sack slung over his shoulder.

"Somebody give me a set of fething DIRECTIONS!" Tim screamed at them all

Laura had enjoyed the run to the ship. She hadn't got to kill any of the subjects. She wandered to the front of the ship. "I'm surprsed that this ship is interstellar, it's usually only larger craft" She touched the pilots seat to steady herself as they left jump space. "We need to get to the planet Akari, three-oh-oh from our current cordinates" She turned to dirge and the rest "I don't know what we'll find there, and you might die...and i apologize" She turned to Atsehen "I, if you survive, will ensure that you will live as well as a king" She drew a katana and sliced her hand slightly. She held it out to them, the katana by it. "Make with me a blood bond"

"How...do...we know....she is......telling...the......truth?" Termio said as he rocked in his seat.

"We don't." Says Atesehn, quietly. "But what would be the point of betraying us?"

"I would darlin, but my hands are a little occupied, and we know shes telling the truth because she is, i can smell a lie and thats not it." Ti m said

Atesehn chuckles quietly. "I would but Its hard to find part of me that ain't robot or armour. So instead Atesehn cuts a deep gouge into his cybernetic hand with his combat knife and shakes the woman's hand.

Dirge sighed, and laid back on the cot. "Possible death, always so much fun," Dirge mused to himself. There wasn't much to do, and the interior of the ship was surprisingly warm. He found himself struggling to stay awake, and was fighting a losing battle. As he sank into the folds of sleep, a final thought slithered through his head: What kind of pick up run requires elite soldiers?

"And Termio, you need to calm down, we're only gonna be space bound for another ten minutes max." Tim said, gritting his teeth as they exited hyperspace into the Akari system

(we're already out of hyperspace, the Akari sector is an area within the Archonian system)

(Switching over the Dirge's brother, Daniel's, POV)

Daniel lay half conscious in a hospitable bed on the Luna medical facility. A radio played on the bedside, though he didn't listen. Daniel had spent the last 7 months of his life here, in a slowly degrading state. He had been diagnosed just after the chimerian wars, but it hadn't struck until recently. Daniel could barely feel anything, except the constant aching pain from drawing air into his ravaged lungs. A voice on the radio had started talking, and Daniel roused himself at the sound of a name he knew. "--Dirge Hemley had responded to the sounds of gunfire, and was dispatched to solve the problem. Approximately and hour and a half later, a varex missile struck the compound, completely destroying it. Dirge is believed to be dead, but no body has been found," Daniel inhaled, painful though it may be, and wept.

Atesehn finally falls to sleep, buried under a heap of food. "Wake me up when we're there" He manages to say, severly slured.

Termio looked at everybody then got out of his seat. As he stud up he fell to his knee's with a great pain in his mind, he screamed in pain and flung his head back then looked forward he saw his home a great hut made from the hide and fur of animals...this was a memory as he stud up and walked towards the hut the sounds of explosions, gunshots and screams of death filled the air. Termio looked around then a mighty flash now all he saw was flames, ashes and death. Humans executing women and children mocking them as the died in terror as Termio looked closer he saw that this was his family his wife dragged out the humans knowing she was important and displayed her before her before her people and slit her throat showing no mercy as her body fell to the floor Termio's daughter grabbed her holding her mothers corpse. The Humans laughed as the shot the unarmed child.
"AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!" Termio yelled as the memory ended. All around him his fellows looked in confusion and a little terror the roar even awoke the sleeping crew. Drained Termio fell to the floor and all faded to black.

"Huh, whaa?" Says Atesehn, getting up slowly, very confused.

"TERMIO CALM DOWN! We need all of us sharp, and you're not doing any of us any favors going on a rant, damn it he passed out, someone take him to a bed." Tim said

Dirge was roused to the sound of a screaming Termio. He cracked his eyes open, muttering about crazy aliens. He rolled off the bed, and then onto the floor. He made his way to the cockpit, and called in, "Ey Tim, when'll we get there?"

"Soon, we're lowering down now. With any other pilot it'd be about an hour, but my mom was from Boston, you'll be there in 15 minutes

Laura smiled as she watched the large alien take a fit "Idiot" She turned to the rest. "We don't know what we will find on the ship, so i was told to promise you that your famalies would be cared for...at least those of you with famalies." She walked to the controls and pushed Tim out of the way "I'll take it from here" her eyes narrowed as she looked out at the large sweep of space. Asteroids drifted over the stars, and a planet could be seen quite a way away "If i die, burn my body"

The ship's engines flared, sending it forwards "Beggining scan" A few moments later they had a result "Battleship class....strange, they still have power" She nudged the proppellant again and sent the ship careening forwards. The massive bulk of the warship, at least a mile long, leapt into veiw past a very large asteroid. It had a hole cut up near the prow, but that didn't interest Laura. What interested her was the fact that the ships anti-fighter guns were turning towards them "BRACE! INCOMING!" She flipped the control tower, sending the ship into a barrel role. Lines of heavy bolt and chaingun fire whipped around the ship, bright tracers tore their way through space. She pulled up. The zigzagging motions she made the ship do were dizzying in their complexity. A light on the dash began beeping "incoming missle!" She smashed the countermeasure control, the bright white flares running out behind them. The swarm of missiles on their tail smashed into them, exploding like minature suns.

"Uh, goddamit it don't want to die out here Laura. I better be getting payed a lot for this job" Mutters Atesehn quietly, steadlying himself against the wall, half a Spacechicken in one hand, the other half in his mouth.

(You don't know her name yet...did i tell you, very hard to remember)

OOC: i think so

OOC: I'll let it pass.

OOC: cheers.

The sudden lurching and jerking from the ship's evasive finally forced Dirge's meal from his stomach. He painted the inside of the crew compartment with spiced sausage and other delicacies. He curled inward, groaning and swearing to himself. He hollered into the cockpit "GET US ONTO SOLID LAND!"

Ignore.

Remove that now, this thread is for RP not advertisment!

sorry wrong one.

Atesehn sits down, feeling the eight-legged spacechicken try to escape. Damn he shouldn't have eaten all that he thinks. "GET US ONTO LAND, OR I WILL EXPLODE.." Atesehn shouts.



Tim:

"Oh for Gods sake, you two, SHUT UP, we're nearly there and I ain't feeling so good myself here. Everyone else alright?

OOC: Why are you posting for TAS

Hes banned. He told me to.

After hours out cold Termio woke up
"What.....did....I miss?" He said rubbing his head.

OOC: I'm back, thanks TRL

"LAURA! GET THE HELL OFF OF MY CONTROLS!" Tim snapped and wrenched the girl away. He didn't slow down, but took them up so they weren't in the thick of the asteroid field.

"Oh good god are we there yet?" Shouts Atesehn, lying flat against the wall.

"Give me one second of some goddamn peace and queit!" Tim barked and slowed the ship to a still. Everyone went silent for a second as Tim closed his eyes and saw the outside of the ship and the incoming missiles through a strange power he never fully understood. Ancient words flew from his mouth like water from a hose and bullets and missiles began to halt before impacting the ship. Still chanting furiously his hands found the controls and urged them forward at impossible speed. He wove in and out of asteroids and gunfire before releasing his ships salvo of deadly fire. Cannons spat lasers and missiles screamed as they hurled through the void and impacted the battleship.

No. Just, no.

No psykers?

You did it without permission, there was no mention in your character post and you touched laura, she would have killed you.

And then I would have gone, "Nomnomnomnom, and game over.

Dirge got angry, and began to swing his hammer, faster and faster, finally, he tore a hole in reality, and jumped into a better RP.

Atesehn then jumps through the hole, the power tearing apart all reality while he eats it.
Forgetting something, he fires at laura repeatedly with his megacannon, obliterating her. Consider me out.
