The research facility on Slovia was designed for observing the astral-phenomina that was unusally common in the system. It was in operation for just over a decade before it lost funding with the start of the Covenant war, and was shut down. All the equipment and computers had been removed or stripped from the building, leaving it nothing more then an empty husk. The place has crumble a bit and is a bit worse for wear, but is still quite capable of housing people.

Several hours had passed with no excitement inside or out. It was looking to be yet another boring day on this planet. When suddenly the makeshift warning lights kicked on and started flashing a silent warning to those in the building. This was known to everyone to be the signal that the enemy has entered the system and they should ready themselves.

Tavish dropped what he was doing. Which was a car. It was lucky he didn't have anyone beneath it, or he would have probably crushed them with the speed it hit the floor. Sure it bounced, but people tended not to. He sighed, straightening up and feeling the weight of his armour all around him. He had a feeling this was going to be a long day.

Spook had finished with Baby and had woken Scorch when he had asked her to. At the moment she was using a pick to scrape the sand out of the workings of her helmet. When she saw the alarm she stopped what she was doing and snapped it on.

Stitch had been looking over what Shaft had been doing to the car, admiring the handiwork, but keeping his distance. Stitch wasn't a mechanic, and he'd rather not tread on people's toes. When the alarm began flashing, he grabbed his spartan laser from its holster, and began running a fast diagnostic on himself.

Scorch groaned when he saw the lights flash in their silent alarm fashion. Time to go to work...just once he'd like a real day off. He checked that his sword was firmly in place and then picked up his shotgun, slinging it to it's holster and then hefted his namesake of a weapon and headed out.

Spook was only a few seconds behind him, having taken the time to load her weapons before heading out.

It was all Tavish could do to not hum "hi-ho, hi-ho" as he went along, feeling as if this was going to be another wage of gun fights against the damn slime beasts, blowing them to pieces before stomping on their little squidgy heads. It was starting to feel like a day job, one where you constantly shipped bullets at terminal velocity straight into faces.

Tavish let out a small hum as he walked into the garage, looking around for a vehicle that wasn't occupied. He would rather one with people already in it, looking for a driver. He didn't like having to order people just to get into the car.

"Shaft!" Stitch called out from behind one of the warthogs. "Fancy taking this for a ride with me? I'd probably just tip the bugger." Driving was never his strong suit, he'd much rather look after people in the back, or just blast the hell out of anything behind them.

"Alright," Tavish said, thudding into the jeep and starting her up instantly "But I hope you're used to doing your stuff on the fly. I don't like slowing down enough for the enemy to hit me."

"Well, I can damn well try. You think you can take laser-based propulsion?" Stitch had a grin on his face. Perhaps Tavish was a bad influence. This could be interesting.

"We'll see, won't we?" Tavish laughed slightly, waiting for the doors to open so they could actually get into a fight. This was going to be messy. People would die. But he could blow the crap out of people.

"We shall indeed." Stitch stretched slightly, preparing himself for the worst. He still wasn't a big fan of fighting, but if it was anything like those slimes again, it was quite cathartic.

"we've just got to wait around I suppose... until the action really starts..." Tavish said, frowning at the doors and waiting for the orders to be given so they could all drive off.

A long series of clicks came over the helmet comm system which was immediately recognized as Morse Code. It was giving information about the incoming enemy ships. It didn't really pertain to Tavish or Spook, but still let them know it was quickly approaching.

"I see... so we're being taking orders... from a dolphin." Tavish said slowly, frowning as he looked around, still not receiving the actual order to go. Morse code. What was the point in morse code?

"It's better than going in blind." Stitch wasn't one for Morse code, but it was better than nothing, he assumed. "If only we were...actually going."

"I get told off enough for not following orders." Tavish pointed out "And the one thing I don't want to do is start a panic by rushing out there before everyone else. We wait. For now. Until the order comes."

As if on command the comm came alive, ""Tav, we've got a falcon down in sector 8, I'm marking it for you now. I repeat, wounded on the ground in sector 8. Follow the nav-point." the call came from Spook who was outside spotting for the vehicles. The bay doors opened and they knew immediately that they were going to be driving into a combat zone.

Tavish grunted his response and slammed onto the gas. No need to just hang around. In a few seconds Tavish and his passenger were gunning out of the doors. "Whatever you do, dont miss!" Tavish yelled as they hit the battle top speed.

"Whatever you do, don't crash!" Stitch called back, a grin almost marking his face beneath the helmet. He kept the Spartan Laser ready, the red beam pulsing as he pressed and released the trigger, waiting for a target.

2012-02-01 [Lord Josmar]: *cough**cough*

2012-02-01 [Evolution X]: WHAT?

2012-02-01 [Lord Josmar]: Y'all just stopped.

2012-02-01 [Ravenclaw]: There's nothing to do. We're both in different locatons.

2012-02-01 [shadow of darkness]: JC you're one to talk by the way. You're the one who stopped posting in the other page

2012-02-01 [Evolution X]: What are we meant to do?

2012-02-01 [Lord Josmar]: Stuff. Zeo hasnt even posted yet (that I have seen as of the posting of this comment) so we have that. Also, the new person was supposed to send me his character but wasnt yet so I will have to hastle him.

And that was because I thought I was waiting on you to post SoD. Lol.

2012-02-01 [Evolution X]: zeo has been having difficulties lately. will talk to him.

2012-02-01 [Lord Josmar]: I sent him a message yesterday or the day before when he was online asking him if he had posted and I had missed it, no response.

2012-02-01 [Evolution X]: he is usually over his girlfriend's. No internet for him there

2012-02-02 [ZeoOfFire]: Yeah, mucho apologies. I suck big time, etc.
Posting now.
(insert irony at being ready for anything)

2012-02-12 [ZeoOfFire]: To give Tavish and Stitch something to do, I must ask:
What would the opinion of getting some weapons (normal ones, not splazers and such), a wide open space, and having...practice?

2012-02-12 [Ravenclaw]: Spook would put them all to shame?

2012-02-12 [ZeoOfFire]: As in allowed or not?

2012-02-12 [Ravenclaw]: I duno, it's Josmar's call, but Spook is currently doing nothing.

2012-02-13 [Lord Josmar]: Well the orders right now for the group is to lay low and keep their presence hidden. They don't want anything to give away the ambush should an advanced hidden unit show up ahead of the main attack force.

2012-02-13 [Lord Josmar]: I was wanting to wait till the new player sent me their character, but I have not heard from them for quite some time so I may go ahead and move the storyline along.

2012-02-13 [ZeoOfFire]: okie dokie, lay low...so no gunfights then ;P

2012-03-02 [Lord Josmar]: Spook! Scorch! Stitch!

2012-03-02 [shadow of darkness]: waiting for Spook to wake him lol

2012-03-03 [Ravenclaw]: several hours later she would have already woken him.

Someone hit me up to post here tomorrow.

2012-03-03 [Lord Josmar]: Post here.

2012-03-04 [Lord Josmar]: Silent alarms.

2012-03-06 [Lord Josmar]: Um...Scorch?

2012-03-10 [Lord Josmar]: Go ahead and get into your guy's positions. Go ahead and just pick them out yourselves for whatever you want. Just remember that this mission is focusing on keeping as much alien tech together as possible. So destroying them is going to be frowned upon.

2012-03-10 [Evolution X]: ........ I have no idea what to do. at all.

2012-03-10 [Lord Josmar]: There is a lot you can do. Just make something up. We have EMP turrets outside. Or you can drive a warthog with an EMP turret or a recovery vehicle to get the enemy ships that get taken down, etc. Spook could be a spotter to help call out downed ship locations, etc. You just gotta think what would play to your character's specializations.

2012-03-26 [Lord Josmar]: First, I never did give Evo kudos for the lovely "Shipping Bullets" analogy. Kudos

Secondly, do you all want me to just assign you all battle stations so we can get this moving again?

2012-03-27 [shadow of darkness]: considering that no one seems to know where we're going?

2012-03-27 [Lord Josmar]: That is what I figured, even though I gave some great ideas for some people.

2012-04-14 [Lord Josmar]: Alright fuckers. Spook, go to the top of the facility and spot. Shaft, go to the vehicle bay and get ready to drive. Scorch, get out there with Scorp and man a turret. Stitch, get ready for any casualties or wounded in the medbay. Just split yourselves up with hr tags here in the building.

2012-04-14 [Ravenclaw]: I only take orders from the Admiral.

2012-04-14 [Lord Josmar]: and Scorp.

2012-04-15 [Evolution X]: I can't post... someone post?

2012-04-15 [Lord Josmar]: Why cant you?

2012-04-15 [Evolution X]: I posted last?

2012-04-15 [Lord Josmar]: You could put an hr tag and post for him the the garage.

2012-04-15 [Ravenclaw]: It needs to be archived before we all split it up into sections.

2012-04-15 [Lord Josmar]: I dont see why.

2012-04-15 [Ravenclaw]: *sigh* It's cluttered. It'll become confusing and bogged down. No one likes to post like that. You only seem to be the only person who doesn't have a problem with it.

2012-04-16 [Lord Josmar]: SoD, I am moving your post to the exterior page with Scorp.

2012-04-18 [Lord Josmar]: It'll probably be easier for Spook to post out in the exterior so you won't have to post here and there when spotting enemies. It's your call though.

2012-04-18 [Ravenclaw]: out there.

2012-04-24 [Lord Josmar]: Need Stitch to post.

2012-04-24 [Ravenclaw]: good luck with that.

2012-04-25 [ZeoOfFire]: Apologies. Becoming hard to my head to get into my characters recently.

2012-05-23 [Evolution X]: Tavish grunted his response and slammed onto the gas. No need to just hang around. In a few seconds Tavish and his passenger were gunning out of the doors. "Whatever you do, dont miss!" Tavish yelled as they hit the battle top speed.

2012-05-24 [ZeoOfFire]: Wait, should I have posted that in the exterior actually?

2012-05-24 [Lord Josmar]: Nah. I will post that ya'll came bursting out in the exterior once I get on the comp.
