Showtime 1-1 Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Leon frowned.Damn, that didn't go well. The last thing we need is more tension in the team. Leon thought. I didn't expect Panther to take the blame like that, I should have known he would for that vixen... He eyed Krystal. I know she had a bigger part in this...He silently agreed with Wolf's solution, though he didn't think it was wise to tell him off like that, right then and there. Regardless, he remained silent, ignoring the occasional glance from Krystal and Panther, and settled in for the briefing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Julius Quasar Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 "Where not done yet." Wolf growled as he pressed a button on the underside of the table, locking the door out of the room before Panther could exit. "On the team or not, you're coming down with us to the surface. And for that, you'll listen to the briefing like the rest of us."(One thing, Panther off the team will only be temporarily. I've got plans that he'll redeem himself to such a degree down on the surface that Wolf will forgive him and take him back in again. I think this could be a great story to fill in what happened right after the intro of Command, so I'll at least try not to stray to far away from cannon, but work around what we have.Planned to say that in my previous post, but forgot it.)(It's cool, I understand...I thought you might come up with that ) Panther sighed, and sat back down. He listened to the briefing, and wondered what the others were thinking now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 "We'll leave the Lupine in orbit while we go down with two fighters and the shuttle. The two other fighters will stay up here, ready to be zapped down if the need arises." A map was projected onto the wall behind Wolf, and he started pointing out areas of interest. "We'll land in this labyrinth of cliffs and rocks about a mile north-northwest from the entrance to the lab. Venom air controll won't know we're here."Wolf brought up a photography of a large cliffside, mostly overgrown with vegatation, but with some kind of structure hidden behind it. "That's our entrance. The only way in, or out. As we can see on this satelite photage, no guards of any kind. Andross keept this lab top secret, and any droids should have emptied their power cells long ago.The problem is what might await us once we get inside. I visited this place only once many, many years ago, but if memory serves. The place is wired with automated security systems, complete with an everlasting power generator. We might run into a few droids, but they should be rusted up pretty badly now with none to service them. Should have slow enough reactions that they won't pose much of a treath. Stack up on EMP weapons in any case. As well as some conventional weaponry, just if we run into something unexpected. I've packed a bag of explosives to blow our way trough any armoured doors.Leon, you and I will be in front, Panther, you will be in the middle with my daughter, if you know what's good for you, you'll protect her with your own life. Krystal, you'll stay in the back, make sure someone doesn't follow us, or Panther decides to jump ship." The last bit came out like a threatening growl. "Any questions?"

Kursed Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 "Just one how are you sure that the droids would be rusted by now or that their not smart enough to recharge themselves?"Krystal asked "Andross was known to have alot of Alien technology."

Asper Sarnoff Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 "Simple, the droids, if they can still move, can recharge themself in the various charging stations scattered around the complex, but they can't service themself. Even on a planet as dry and unhospitable as Venom at its worst, the air inside caves are moist. Hinges will rust in a matter of months if they're not oiled regularly." Wolf answered.

Showtime 1-1 Posted March 23, 2010 Share Posted March 23, 2010 Leon rolled his eyes. I would expect as much from that one... he thought, regarding Krystal's comment."What's our objective? how far in to this "lab" will we need to venture? I don't fancy being trapped in a cavern with only one way out." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Julius Quasar Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 "As for questions, what will we do to complete the mission, and what happens after said mission is complete, I mean....do we have an exit strategy?" asked Panther. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 "The objective is to get deep into the complex, to Andross's personal lab. If it's somewhere he hid all his the records of his researh, it would be there. As so happens, his lab is furthest into the complex. The network of tunnels and rooms streetches out over and area of several square miles. Streetching under the bottom of the Venomian sea at some points. And at its deepest, it's about a mile down below the surface." Wolf switched from between several satelite photos of the surface, with some of the tunnels drawn in. "I've managed to get hold of some of the original architectural plans, which shows the central complex. It's been expanded several times since then, but the quickest way from the entrance to Andross's lab is pretty straightforward. Or it should be, as long as it's not been blocked."Wolf turned the projector off before he continued. "We'll keep this tight, get in quickly, find what we came for, and get out fast the same way."He started to take a couple of small devices, looking similar to large armwatches. up from a bag in the corner and giving one to each of the persons in the room. "GPS won't work trough all the rock above our heads. But these devices can recognise their positions trough linking up with the other armbands, working similar to GPS in some ways. I've programmed in what little I could find of maps. The screen shows you an overhead view of yourself, your teammates, and most of the tunnels. With the handy function to memorize the route we took in, we shouldn't get any problems getting out again the same way."Wolf strapped his own armband on, the only one also containing a simplified motion detector also programmed into it. He had figured that might be of use to avoid any nasty surprises."Then, we'll head out. Leon and Krystal, ready your fighters and your gear. Panther, find Freya and meet up with me at the shuttle."

Panther said. He waited for Wolf to unlock the conference room door so he cold go get Freya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 "No... You won't." Wolf answered Panther as he locked up the door and ripped it open. Immediatly fell Freya, who had been listening behind the door, forwards towards a brutal meeting with the floor. She was stopped in the last moment however as Wolf had grabbed her around the neck with a vice-like grip."You, and I, are going to have a long, serious talk when we get back to Sargasso." Wolf growled to her as he hoisted her up on her feet. Each word came slowly, dripping with anger and dissapointment."Panther, take her to the barracks and suit her up. Bulletproof vest, helmet, the works. But no weapons." Wolf grumbled as he left the room, heading for the bridge to make the final preparations on the ships programming.

Asper Sarnoff Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 (This just popped in on DA. Might be interesting to you Kursed.)"Ye... Yeah I'm fine" Freya stottered as she stroked her aching neck, where her father had gripped her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kursed Posted March 24, 2010 Author Share Posted March 24, 2010 (Seen something like that before)"Alright Panther you better get going, and thanks but this doesn't change anything between us."She added as she walked off towards the hanger.

Showtime 1-1 Posted March 24, 2010 Share Posted March 24, 2010 Leon watched the others fuss over Freya. serves her right for sneaking aboard... but I can tell she's still going to enjoy this mission, regardless. An adventure with her father...He got up and paced off to the hangar, hoping to load up his fighter shortly after Krystal had left, to avoid a confrontation.

Guest Julius Quasar Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Panther nodded to Krystal, and took Freya to the barracks..."Come, dear.." he said.***At the barracks, Panther suited Freya up for their mission. He equipped her with a bulletproof vest, helmet, the works, as per Wolf's request. BUT, he sneaked Freya a combat dagger, and a small laser pistol. He made a motion to his lips with his finger in a "Shhh" gesture. He had made sure to check the room to make sure it was only him and Freya in there, lock the barrack doors, and stand with Freya out of the security cameras' view before doing this.Panther then equipped himself with a bulletproof vest as well. He took a combat dagger, a small laser pistol, and a hyper laser automatic rifle.Before they left, Panther whispered "I'd appreciate it if you and I kept those extra items I provided you with to ourselves, okay? I want you to be safe, no matter what..." and he gave her a hug, before unlocking the barracks door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 "Thanks Panther." Freya sighed as she secured the laser gun and hid it under the vest. The knife she strapped up her left sleeve with one of the many holsters lying around. She weren't sure where to hide the rifle. She and Panther would be taking the shuttle down with her father, and there was no way he wouldn't spot it."I don't need anything more than the knife and the gun." She said as she put the rifle back in its rack.Meanwhile, Wolf had finished programming the autopilot of the ship, and had started loading up the shuttle. It wasn't much to look at, and would be eaten alive should they encounter any fighters with skilled pilots. It did however have a cloaking device, and quite a big engine. As long as their radar worked like it should, they would be able to spot any incoming treaths and get away before anyone noticed.In a matter of minutes, Wolf had it loaded up and started to buckle himself down in the pilots seat in front. Leaving the bench in the back for his daughter and Panther when they came back. He was still allmighty pissed over how Panther had snuck his daughter on board like that. It wasn't like him to do something like that.He had also lost a valuable pilot, and despite Panthers huge ego, they had developed a friendship over the years. Real shame he would have to go.What's taking them so long! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said as she put the rifle back in its rack.( No, that rifle was for Panther) Panther took the rifle off the rack "That rifle was for me, hon'..." he purred, as he strapped the sling to his back. Upon double checking, he made sure both he and Freya were properly equipped for the trip, and then he then led Freya to the shuttle.When they got there, they sat down together on the bench in the back of the shuttle. "We're ready." said Panther. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asper Sarnoff Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 (Misread that bit. Had a lot of things on my mind when I wrote it, as usual.)From the cockpit came only a hostile grunt as Wolf primed the engine for a few seconds before he started them. The shuttle started to shake slightly and a slow rumble could be heard from the back of the ship. The hangar of the Lupine was cramped, and Wolf had to be carefull not to bump into anything as he manouvered the shuttle up to the large hatch in the floor, which opened right in front of them, leaving only a particle shield to keep the air in the hangar from flowing out.Wolf tipped the shuttle forward and trough the hatch into a fall almost straight down. He was mashed back into the seat as the gravity of the large planet started to accelerate the shuttle towards the ground about fifteen miles below them.A quick look at the radar told him there wasn't any other craft nearby. The Venomian space police, which doubled as customs, wasn't much to brag about. But there was also pirate crafts which could be more of a treath to them.Flames started to envelope the shuttle as the airfriction started to heat up the hull. "We'll be down in a couple of minutes." He grunted over his shoulder to the two in the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kursed Posted March 25, 2010 Author Share Posted March 25, 2010 "Leaving without me?" Krystal asked as her fighter pulled up near the shuttle her sheilds taking most of the heat away from the airframe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showtime 1-1 Posted March 25, 2010 Share Posted March 25, 2010 Leon took off shortly after the shuttle. He was happy to be back in the cockpit again, even if it was just for the trip down. His Wolfen shuddered as it started to speed up for atmospheric entry.heh, this is always fun...He kept about a mile back from the other two ships to keep any interceptors off of the shuttle's tail for the ingress.

Asper Sarnoff Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Wolf grumbled to himself as he reached out to his com-system. "Krystal, keep your distance! If we band together, it will give of a larger radar signature to anyone out there listening for intruders."He hung up and started to flatten out the shuttle as they got closer to the ground. Soon after, they swooped only a couple of feet above the ground, dodging the increasing number of rock formations as they started to draw closer to the landing zone.
