Ruins of Titania

[Star Fox Runner]

RP Name/Title- Ruins of Titania

Theme- Survival/Mystery

Setting- Titania, Archeological Dig

Description- While researching the ruins that Andross operated out of on Titania during the Lylat Wars, a group of Archeologists go missing. When a second group of Archeologists go looking for the missing group, they vanish too. Now the CDF is selecting a group of soldiers for a search and rescue operation, and if necessary, search and destroy, to reach the ruins, find the Archeologists, and get out. But little do they know, something far more sinister awaits inside the ruins.

Goal- Uncover the secret of the ruins and defeat the enemy, without the RP taking too long, or being too short.

Player count- As many as want to join without being crazy, only 5 are allowed to the rescue team, first come, first serve, the rest would likely be enemies, or surviving archeologists. If you plan to leave the RP, try and find a logical way for your character to leave, or kill the character off. Don't just stop and leave the character in the dust. Try and make it a fan character being used.

Location: CDF Outpost Delta, in high orbit above planet Titania.

Briefing Room, 6:00 AM.

Dash Rylan sat in a chair in the back of briefing room, yawning and fuming over having to be woken up so early when it was supposed to be one of his days off. His being stationed on Titania had been an easy job, no action whatsoever, which gave him plenty of time to spend with his little sister. Dash hadn't seen any action at all since he was inducted into the CDF Special Forces, so he had been itching for some action. Today, though, the atmosphere in the briefing room was different, tense even. Everyone was wondering what was going on.

"Alright then." said the OC. "I know your all tired, so clean the gum out of your ears and listen! About 5 days ago, a small team of archeologists from the research group studying the ruins down on that dust ball went missing while exploring site 12 of the dig. The next day, they sent another group in to look, they have also been reported missing. Normally, the CDF wouldn't be bothered with something like this, but intelligence indicates that this specific area was once being used by the Venomian Army during the Lylat War, for what we don't know. So just to be safe, the researchers have asked us to send down an armed team to perform search and rescue. Seeing how Venom may have left something down there, the mission may be upgraded to search and destroy if anything is found. The team will be a small squad of 5 soldiers. We would like to ask for volunteers for the squad."

Dash's ears perked up, finally some real action! If all went well, this could be his first mission! As soon as you could blink, Dash's hand was in the air.

"Rylan, it's your lucky day! Your on the team. Do we have any other volunteers, room for 4 more?"

((OOC: Okay, there is room for only 4 more people for the strike team, once they are full, they are FULL! If you want to join after this, it will have have to be an archeologist, or a bad guy. Stowaways are allowed though.))

Discription: Your average, highly trained solider. Specalises in Demolitions.

"Do we have any other volunteers, room for 4 more?"

Daniel had nearly fell asleep during the briefing, they selected them at such an early time...

Two people, one of them an eager cat-thing, had already took the place.

His hand slowly raised in the air, he wasn't so sure this was a good idea, but it was either this or be bored until another opertunity came along like this.

"Alright Dan, you got the slot." Said the OC, "Two more to go, anyone need the part?"

He began to think, he was trained, but he had a feeling that something might go bad...

Just keep your gun and your gut with you, then you'll get out fine. His dad always said, Although he wasn't a solider himself.

He let out a small chuckle, and the others in the briefing room looked at him weird, he just continued to listen.

(permission to join as Krystal?)

[Guest Julius Quasar]

(May I join as Rud, "Pal" Whetherwax?  I'm giving Todd, Lola, and my other fan characters a break/vacation for this RP)

[Star Fox Runner]

((OOC: As long as its a fan character, it is fine to join, sadly, no Star Fox team this time around, I wanted people to give their FCs a try. You don't need permission to join this RP, just jump right in as long as its with the rules, and no GodModing each other.))

Dash looked over at the coyote and cat that had just been selected, he felt a little nervous now, the coyote seemed a little clumsy seeing how he fell out of his chair from sleep, and the cat was so young. Then again, this was his first mission too, so he had no room to complain, he might do horrible and they might be amazing. He just hoped he wouldn't have to watch their backs if they ended up being horrible.

"Two more, who wants the spots?" yelled the CO.

[Kursed]

(who said Krystal is working for the starfox team?)

[Thunderstar]

(who said Krystal is working for the starfox team?)

(Or  He's in the CDF.)

[Guest Julius Quasar]

(Thanks!)

Rud, "Pal" Whetherwax said "I'm coming along...I heard the pay's s'posed to be good..."  he reflected on how he passed up a vacation opportunity to go with Todd, Lola, and the rest of "Nebulae Fox" on a vacation to Cape Claw, Planet Sauria. But he wanted, and needed the money, turning down any offers of money from his teammates and the Star Fox Team themselves.  He did not want to be a "charity case".

[Sabre]

"Hehe. Fools." Sabre wispered to himself, getting a look from the OC and others in the room. "...huh? What? I'm not going, I've seen this movie. The Dino dies first."

(I'll join if no one else wants to join. Not to bothered about it though.)

[Star Fox Runner]

Dash's eyes narrowed, the comment from the Dino named Sabre made him feel a little uneasy. "Why would he comment on the subject like that?" he wondered. Maybe it was nothing.

"Okay, room for one more, who wants to be the poor sap?" shouted the CO.

Pal heard what Sabre said.  "Ahh, eat it, Sabre!" he growled.  

He tapped his foot impatiently, waiting for one more volunteer.

"Lousy OC, calling us saps...this is taking too long!" he thought to himself.

Fine can I join as Kari then?)

((Final spot YES!))

Name: Michael "Big Mike" Straights

Age: 37

Species: Brown Bear

Sex: Male

Discription: A veteran, works as an engineer and heavy weapons specialist, is thinking about getting a desk or civilian job after a few more sorties.  Runs slowly from his large size but makes up for it in usefulness, experience, and smarts.

===========

"Hey, what the heck," a large booming voice from the corner, cut through the silence, "Sounds fun," and a large booming laugh followed.

[Star Fox Runner]

Dash breathed a sigh of relief, this last guy looked pretty competent.

"Okay, then you guys head to the armory and suit up! Your leaving right now! You're going to be dropped right at the teams' last known position. Grab what weapons you want, and get your butts moving! DISSMISSED!"

Dash got up and started moving toward the exit. Finally, his first mission! But there was something about this mission that was making him nervous, how could two fairly large dig teams just vanish without a trace? He realized that this could be more dangerous than he thought. "I better pack my best for this one!" Dash then started moving toward the armory.

((OOC: alright, the strike team positions have been filled, people can still join in, but not as a member of the team. Now go pick out your weapons.))

[Braux]

Daniel got up after the OC's order and headed for the armory.

Walking through the cold hallways, and folowing the signs on the floor, he made it through.

On the walls there were rows of rifles, along with ammo packs ajoining them.

He looked until he found what he wanted. A burst-shot rifle with red-dot scope. A side arm, a sutiable, and durable looking pistol. And finally a shotgun, something he had good practice with. He set them down, in their cases, next to a locker.

He opened the locker and put on the Desert colored camo inside. Got some armor and a pack. It was heavier than expected.

He loaded the weapon cases, with the weapons inside, with him and headed out.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Pal, grateful to be on the strike team, especially for the money, packed his gear, weapons, and provisions, and got ready to go...

"Titania awaits...." he muttered.

[Vindr]

With the current mission brefieng and stats on a paper in front of him, Mike takes several weapons including a shotgun, a simple automatic rifle, two heartbeat monitors, GPS trackers, and other mapping equipment, knowing full well how easily the team could get lost.

[Star Fox Runner]

Dash entered the armory, he went straight for his personal weapons in his locker. He picked up a 12 gauge plasma shotgun with plenty of rounds, his magnum grade blaster, and some incendiary grenades, not much compared to the others, but plenty to kill anything that moves. Just in case his ammo were to run out, he also grabbed a retractable wrist scythe. He suited up in an armored vest and pulled on his shirt and jacket, he didn't use the standard full body armor as he was slow enough as it was, so he always went as light as possible without being too vulnerable. This still left plenty to hit however especially his exposed head, so he had to be nimble.

Dash left the armory and headed toward the hangar where the drop ship was waiting, where the others would join him. "DASH!" yelled a small voice. Dash turned around to see his 11 year old sister come running down the hall. "Sheila!" said Dash as he scooped her into a hug. "I didn't think you would be up this early!" Sheila caught sight of Dash's blaster and shotgun. "Where are you going?" she asked. "I've been picked for a mission, I'm finally getting some action!" Sheila's face wore an expression of worry. "But isn't that dangerous? What if you get hurt?" her eyes widened, "What if you don't come back?" Dash stopped for a second, he hadn't stopped to think about what would happen to his sister if he were to be killed. He pulled her into a long hug, "I promise you, I will come back, I would never leave you, you know that, I WILL come back, you can be sure of that." Sheila smiled, "Okay." she whispered. Dash left Sheila in the hall and moved toward the hanger, praying that if anything were to happen down there, he would be able to keep his promise.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Pal made sure he had his weapons at the ready.  He had a small waist pack to hold his gear, and his weapons: Butterfly Knife, High Quality Hyper-Laser Pistol, Compact Lightweight Flamethrower.  He wisely had packed very light.

[Braux]

Carrying his weapon cases, and full body (Plated chest/shin/forearm/shoulder/helmet.) Daniel went to the CDF Drop ship rather slowly.

He saw Dash, hugging a small girl.

Huh, wonder who that is... must be his sister.

He had forgotten, he forgot to call mom, he slapped his head, then decided to do it when he had the time.

He docked, walked up the small lift, and took a seat at the very end, he hoped to get a good view of the desert sands.

huh, now at least I wish I had some coffee...

[Thunderstar]

((OOC: Thunderstar, if you don't respond soon, you'll be holding up the show and probably won't be in the RP))

(Don't worry, I'm back!)

Thunderstar got his weapons, loaded them and dashed down the hallway.

"YO! Wait for meeee!" He yelled and caught up with the rest.

[Guest Julius Quasar]

Pal was in the drop ship, safely strapped in, awaiting deployment.  He thought to himself "If the rumors of the hidden treasures that can be found on Titania are true, and I combine them with the money I'm bein' paid for this, then I'm gonna be rich!".  Pal smiled, relishing these thoughts.  He hated the dysfunctional rich family he had come from, and how they mistreated him, and cheated him out of his share of the family fortune and his inheritances...(his family was like that rotten family on the show "Dynasty").

[Star Fox Runner]

Dash entered the drop ship still thinking about his sister, she was his pride and joy, not to mention the only person left in his life, he vowed that he wouldn't break his promise. He entered the drop ship and saw Pal, Daniel and the little cat already waiting in the ship, Mike wasn't on the ship yet. Dash secured his weapons in the holding compartment underneath his seat, then he sat down and strapped himself in. He felt his muscles tighten and he became tense, "There's no going back now." he thought.
