Questing for the Pulsar (OPEN) - Page 10

Olsan quickly dismissed the case, because of a lack of evidence. Guards unlocked the doors and a steady stream of officers walked out, thinning as they headed down different passages of the ship.
A weary and tired Subcommander was heading for the bridge.

"An'Jar, how far from our destination?"
'We've entered the Alpha Centauri starsystem, Sir.'
"Good. I ant a full scan of the area. Scan for Reptetranite and once you've found a planet wiht a suitable supply, scan for lifeforms there.
You! Assemble a scouting force, and make sure the mining team stands ready."

V'CENZAH (Having been ordered to assemble a scouting force, she taps Billy Ray and Geevous as well as several other space sailors. They wait, armed to the teeth, in fixed-atmosphere suits. She dons her marauder suit, to be the ultimate trump to any alien silly enough to attack them)(They wait in a ready room by the airlock.)

:Hey we doin this or what ? First you lock me up in a cell and now you have us perpetually sealed in this damnable warship, LET'S ROCK, let's get a move on. I have too much anger to be cramped up in here. I want to blow our enemies from the sky ground or wherever they may be"

After a few quick scans Neb said, "Scanners are detecting large amounts of Reptetranite at the 2nd planet, I'm changing our course to head towards it.".

After making the necessary adjustments Neb headed to his cabin to send a few radio messages to what appeared to the scanners to be just an empty area of space near Alpha Centauri Prime(The first planet, the one nearest the sun.).

He then headed to the reactor core control stations to check that the file he had placed there earlier was still there, it was, he smiled and headed towards the bridge again.

In the radio room a radio crackles on... a quiet voice is heard .... "Help us.... battleship Helaqun .... many deaths...... large creatures..... so powerful ..... save us". Transmission ends.

Just what they needed, a cry for help.
His troops would probably think less of him if they would not alter their course, but the sub-commander of the Weisurian forces had better things to do. Harvest reptetranite, for one thing.

As they reached the second planet, he ordered the ship into orbit and deployed a scouting force to secure a suitable mining area and set up a primitive base. The heavy machinery would soon follow, along with soldiers and engineers. Then the soldiers would have to clear teh land, and set up a landing and launching pad for the cargo ship, so that the builders could reach their fungi more rapidly.

The whole process would take a day or two, and only then could the mining start. He had no idea how many more days that and the assembly of the Pulsar would cost, so he could only hope the creatures reported in the emergency message could not travel through space, or at least would not notice their presence.
He would have to keep plenty of men back on the ship so they could fight or cut their losses and make an escape.

A message is received from the ship Helaqun:
"This is our last hope of survival, it is being sent to all ships in the area, our ship has been invaded by unidentified creatures with enourmous power. Three of us have locked ourselves into the communication room, we have been here for 3 days and we dont know how much longer we cant hold out. We are low on food and ammunition and are in desperate need of assisstance.
Message terminated.

V'CENZAH (As soon as the ship settles on the surface, the airlock opens and the scouting party, accompanied by a couple of assay droids, debouches carefully onto the surface. The Repteptanite detectors going full blast. These lead them to a rocky outcropping just several kilometers from the ship. As they approach the area, they are hit by a company of Psudoarachnids, armed with blaster pistols. She begins firing her Phase, rifle, splattering the lead Bug into little, radioactive pieces.

Neb kept a close eye on the scanners during all of this, he'd switched one of them to watching for gravity disturbances and was quietly watching the large gravity distortion that was moving slowly towards them.

He noted it's coordinates, switched the scanner back to normal and sent a signal to the coordinates containing all the info about the mission so far, their equipment and their future prospects.

A battered ship crashlands nearby... The Helaqun. It has taken huge damadge and does not look like it is going anywhere soon.

The hatch opens (reluctantly) and a terrain body is thrown out, it is shredded and definatly dead.
