Starzone: Liberation 2

[Scott7]

"One size fits all." Krystal simply stated.

Scott really wasn't %100 sure if that was possible, But Nodded in agreement...

[Guest Para Astaroth]

As he continued on walking down the halls, crewman were constantly welding in parts and other devices that needed to be put onto the flagships to help them 'see' in the blizzards.  He casually blended in with the other soldiers stopped at a ledge that showed the ground thousands of feet above them -- veiled in a white haze.  Taking his hands away from the steel bars, his gloves scraped off the ice that had been sitting on the railing for quite some time, and continued on walking down along railing.  Suddenly, one of the crewman called over to Marcus -- his ears perking up through the helmet holes on top -- and walked over to the crewman.

"What d'ya need,"  Marcus asked loudly through the howling wind and groaning of the flagship.

"I need you to hold down these sheets of metal while I apply the weldings to'em!"

"You got it!"  Marcus replied as requested and slowly helped the soldier place a sheet of metal over a long, exposed cabeling of wires.  He placed his gloved hands over the sheet of metal while the crewman flipped down his long, black mask and started to weld.  Marcus, turning his head away from the bright light that was emitting from the welding, watched other crewman walk by either with their rifles in their hands keeping guard casually, or walking quickly down a hall, then turning down another while looking up and back down from a pad of papers on them.  "Aight, Skooch down!"

Turning his head briefly to the crewman, Marcus took a few steps aside while the crewman adjusted his footing and started back to welding.  "So."

"Yeah?"  Marcus replied.

"What's your assigned job from the colonel?  Mine's to keep the ships in check, repair what needs to be repaired, rewire what needs to be rewiring...  You get the jits!

"Yeah, I'm pretty sure I do!"  Marcus replied over the constant howling.  "My job is to aid the Vektrans and Cornerians by any means necessary since I have been with the Cornerian Defense Force for over fourteen years and decided to enlist as a 'Called-to-do-service-' guy!"

The crewman nodded, "Yeeeeh...  We got's plenty of dem suckers!  You aren't alone, my friend!"

"Oh, I assure you, I'm not!  I've got a few pals that are with me on this assigned mission!"  Marcus then scooted down a little further so the crewman could continue welding.

"A few?  Brother!  You have a whole entire batalion of friends to help on this here mission!"  He stopped briefly, sliding his mask off, "It's called, 'Brotherhood!'"  He then pulled his mask back over his face and continued welding.

[Kursed]

"I donno If I'd call it that." Said a armored She-wolf.

-----

"Get your  coat and stuff on and follow me." Krystal said to scott.

[Guest Para Astaroth]

"Well, excuse me!  Family!"  The crewman responded, seeing the she-wolf in armor not known by the Vektrans.  "Yeh, showin' off that snazzy piece of work on our men and proving your tech is bettah?!"  He then snapped, throwing the welding tool aside and taking off his mask, then started for her. 

Marcus pushed him back, "What the hell's your problem?!  All she said was that it wasn't just brotherhood; it was more than --"

"Yeh, but you didn't hear what the colonel said about the carriage people.  Huh?!"  The crewman snapped to Marcus, his eyes wild with annoyance.  Marcus' eyes glanced down for a moment then back to the crewman.

"I don't think I've heard--"

"They're s'pose to stay in their barracks until the fight is to begin!  If she's seen out here, she is to be reported to at once!!"  the crewman angrily explained, pointing to Lupe and exchanging quick glances to both Lupe and Marcus.

"Well, she probably was called up to the commander, so leave the woman alone and let's get back to what we were doing!"  Marcus casually replied, and they both walked back to the the half-welded sheet metal.  Looking over his shoulder, his dead eye and regular eye stared at the she wolf for a few moments before looking to the sheet of metal and scooting down a little.

[Kursed]

"Well i was ordered by my commander to help ,but seeing as you have it covered i'll just head back." lupe said turning around and walking off her tail swishing angerly.

[Guest Para Astaroth]

"F***ing moody b****es..."  the crewman grumbled while Marcus just stared off at Lupe while she left.

"She'll get over it..."  He muttered and looked back to the sheet metal he was holding up for the crewman.  Scooting down more, the crewman soon was finishing up the sheet metal needed to cover the final part of exposed wirings.  Looking to the crewman, he quickly walked around him and came to a halt at the railing.  As the wind blew against his suit, he clenched his fists -- remembering his past love for a military comrade --, lowering his head and placing both hands onto the railings.  Pushing back and planting his feet onto the ground, he exhaled a brief grunt and quickly slammed a fist onto the railing -- anger flowing through his mind, blood pumping faster, heart rate increasing, and blood vessels popping under his suit.  He hung his head, slowly shaking his head with a limb and shaken hand to his side while his other clenched fist remained on the railing.

[Scott7]

"Get your  coat and stuff on and follow me." Krystal said to scott.

"Place was freezing anyway...." He mumbled under his breath as he got up and Took his suitcase, unlocked it, opened it to find his Coat folded neatly inside. Unfolding it and slipping his arms into the sleeves he also took a blue Scarf and a pair of gloves Since temperture inside the room already bothered hims enough as it is...

"Lead the way..." the Said quietly as he closed the case and lifted it off the room table.

(Turning in now...)

[Kursed]

"I don't see why you weren't wearing that in the first place then." Krystal said leading the way to the Aurora

[Scott7]

"I don't see why you weren't wearing that in the first place then." Krystal said leading the way to the Aurora

"What can I say? Keeping the stuff off makes it easier to write..." he Casually replied continuing to following behind her lead through the hall's, looking at the Symbol on her suit he started to wonder what it stood for, but wasn't in the mood for a heavy conversation Revolving around a person's backround..."

(Night...)

[Kursed]

(Night one winged)

"Over freezing?" Krystal asked  leading the way into the Aurora it was a lot warmer then  the barracks at least the part Scott stayed in.

[Scott7]

"Over freezing?" Krystal asked  leading the way into the Aurora it was a lot warmer then  the barracks at least the part Scott stayed in.

"Well I'm already wearing a light sweater under this thing..." He noted, as he stepped inside the Cruiser.

(I don't suppose you still have that image of it?)

[Kursed]

(just for the record it's a destroyer.http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk34/Vixen2005/Cerinian%20ships/Auroratop.jpg)

"And you still cold?" Krystal asked.

[Scott7]

"And you still cold?" Krystal asked.

"Well... Its a lot better in here, Unlike Back there this Ship is well insolated..." He commented taking his gloves off...

(Dinner, Be back in a few minutes.)

[Kursed]

"Well i try to have tigress keep it in good shape.' krystal noted leading the way to the armory.

[Scott7]

"Well i try to have tigress keep it in good shape.' krystal noted leading the way to the armory.

"Yeah, that girl does deffinetly know her way around wrench. I try to keep up with her but not even 2 seconds after seeing a problem she already seems to knw whats wrong without even opening anything up..."

[Kursed]

"She's got alot of experience." Krystal said walking into the armory she gave Scott one of the suits hoping it would fit him.

[Scott7]

"She's got alot of experience." Krystal said walking into the armory she gave Scott one of the suits hoping it would fit him.

Since he had managed heavy armor in the past so he didn't seem to have that much difficulty putting it on... Though it took a moment or so more to get his tail through the back of it.

"Pretty unique piece of tech you got here..." The Hybrid, commented making a few motions with his arm to see if there were any join Restrictions. "Just so I know I won't accidently set off any truster's and bust through the wall, Can you give a quick rundown on the Suit's Features?"

(ooc: and an image of the desing if you have one? )

[Kursed]

(umm ask harmony for a picture of meta kursed...)

"turn it on it runs it through for ya." Krystal sighed.

[Guest Para Astaroth]

Marcus, taking a deep breath and the memories subsiding, took his hand away from the railing and began to walk back down the halls again.  As the cold air blew inside the ships, his breath would cloud in front of him and his goggles would fog up every so often.  As soon as he was grabbing the handle of a door, a soldier tapped him on the arm and he turned around to him.

"Sir," the soldier began with a salute, "Our commander requests that you report to the main deck immediately.  Luitenent Para will be acompanying you up there in a matter of minutes and we will have the area blocked off from any non-Vektran militia."

"Alright," Marcus began by casually saluting the soldier back, "Report back to your post.  I'll go see him right now."

"Sir!"  the soldier said quickly, saluting and walking off.  Marcus then turned back around, opening the door and shutting it behind himself as the ice started to immediately melting off his suit.  He brushed the ice that had built up into small packs on his suit and walked on as other soldiers, and crewman, passed him going out the door he came through.  Soon, he was upon an elevator that was coming down to his level and waited for it to stop.

Soon, the bell buzzed and door opened with four soldiers walking out, and Marcus stepped in.  Before he could press the button for the main deck, two soldiers trotted in and stood behind Marcus.  "Going up to the main deck?" he asked.

"Sir, yes, sir," they both responded and Marcus pressed the button -- the door slowly shutting in front of them and the elevator ascending.

[Kursed]

"Regul!" Krystal called out for Regul as she looked through the ship.

[Guest Para Astaroth]

Regul closed the windows showing her data files and looked around the corner.  "In here," she called from inside the main deck.  "I haven't gone anywhere since you left."

----------------

As the elevator with Marcus and the two soldiers were rising towards the main deck of the Raging Stallion, it soon stopped at the entrance to it's destination and the doors immediately swinged open.  Marcus and the two soldiers then walked out and entered the main deck where four guards saluted Marcus, then the two soldiers following him stopped and spun around -- joining the other four soldiers guarding the main deck.  Marcus then came into the control room, where the commander was located, and stopped behind him with his hands behind his back.  "You asked for me, sir?"  he asked.

The commander, keeping his attention out the window, looked at Marcus' reflection in the large mirrors he was staring out of.  "Yes, I did.  I wanted you to know that we are dwindling in numbers and are supply limit is becoming scarce."  He turned halfway to Marcus, looking at him seriously, "Once you touch down, you're on your own with your squad.  There will not be any communication signals, no air support, no nothing -- you're going to need to use what you find out there."

"I understand, commander," Marcus responded, nodding slowly to him.  "I've been in several climates around the globes of different planets, so arctic conditions so be no different to me--"

"The Hellfurions are much more stronger as well," the commander added, "Their senses, strength, and physical abilities are heightened so much that they seem very much so like super soldiers of the future."  Marcus then tensed his expression, along with his fists clenching behind his back -- his muscles tightening. 

Marcus then was about to say something before the alarms -- low in tone and constantly rising in pitch -- started to blare with orange lights flashing all around.  He and the commander suddenly paused and looked around.  "Status report!"  the commander ordered.

"Hellfurion ground forces have launched AA missiles with a blast magnitude of forty megatons!  They are raining shells up at us as we speak!"  An controlman said aloud, typing in commands on the projected pad in front of him.

"Activate barriers!!!"  The commander ordered, turning to the controlman with an alerted tone.

"Barrier capacity is at ten percent, sir!  There's no way they will be up in time!!!"  the controlman informed the commander.  The commander ran towards the intercom -- flipping it on -- and bringing the mike close to his muzzle.

"ALL HANDS!!!  BRACE FOR IMPACT!!!"

Suddenly, the flagship was slammed with tremendous force that it knocked power off instantaneously while black clouds exploded around the flagships.

[Kursed]

The Aurua shaked Vigorusly  from the blast  Krystal ran up to Regul "You alright?" She asked  holding the helmet of her suit in her hands.

Serena soon came up in the room "Sheilds  at 50% and holding  I don't think  they will last for another shot unless they recharge fullly ,but I doubt they'll have the time!" The hologram Ai noted.

[Guest Para Astaroth]

Falling out of her seat, Regul caught herself on the control pads inside the main deck of the Aurora.  "I'M FINE!!!  WE NEED TO DEPLOY NOW!!!"

-------------------

As the flagship started to moan, the systems reserves kicked in and the ship began to run off reserve energy from the back-up generator.

"ALL HANDS!!!  REPORT TO EVACUATION STATIONS IMMEDIATELY!!!  RAGING STALLION IS UNDER ATTACK!!!"

Upon given their orders, the soldiers inside the flagship began sprint quickly to the drop ships.  Calling out to each other in response to the attacks, the soldiers began to trip amongst each other trying to get off the flagship as fast as they could while putting on their equipment for the arctic environment below. 

Marcus went to sprint to the elevators, but the commander stopped him.  "I have an evac-pod around the next corner," he informed Marcus, "Use it to get out of here quicker than the drop ships; you won't have enough time to get onto them before they leave."  Marcus nodded and sprint around the corner to where the evac pod was suppose to be.  As he looked around, a scanning beam zipped down his body and a female A.I. tone rang through:

"Scann complete!  Welcome, Marcus Ruddlocke!"

"Yeah, yeah, just open the damn door already!!!"  Marcus argued, and the door slid open on command.  Marcus hopped in, placing his rifle on the wall beside him, and pulled the support beam over his chest.  He then strapped the support harness over his waist as the door slowly shut in front of him.  Soon, the door shut with a thunderous boom and the lights inside flickered on.  Soon, a loud clang was heard and the evac pod detached itself from the flagship. 

Soon, the large evac pod was hurtling towards the surface of the arctic surface of Hellfure -- Marcus hanging onto the supports intensively.

[Scott7]

Scott then Stood up, groaning as he rubbed the back of his head... "Damn, I wish a had the Helmet on for that one... What the hell just happened anyway?"

[Kursed]

"Let's get going then." Krystal said putting on her helmet. "Serena as soon as we're all out take the Aurora into Orbit!"

"But we.."

"JUst do it Serena" Krystal talked back to Serenea.

"Fine ma'am I'll prep the ship for takeoff."

"Regul grab your things and lets go."Krystal said turning  To Regul.
