Temporal Terror

[Aldrea2011]

I sighed. Men of any species usually tend to spat with one another, however right now it was getting on my nerves. I stepped between the two, and said, <Now look, either way, we still need to get that cargo. Lets save this for later, alright?> I kept looking at the two, waiting for an answer that was very slow coming. [color]

[RAFrukh]

I grumbled under my breath.

"She's right. This thing is far to valuable to waste our time arguing. We need to get this weapon. And we can't tell anyone else about it."

I walked up to the bridge, "Claxter. Rhohawk. Prepare for M-space translation."

I sat down at my console and waited for Claxter to get at the tactical panel. Meanwhile, I tried to make ammends. Before rhohawk excitedly took the rear seat, I gestured to it, "Xero. Will you take the Advisor's Chair?"

I punched a few keys and prepared to translate back to M-space.

[Ryan]

"Sure." I say, walking to the seat. I sit down and do any safety precautions that are built into the chair. "So, do we really think the Yeerks are coming back?"

[RAFrukh]

I initiated the z-space translation sequence, "All the evidence points in that direction. You squished the first so called Visser yourself."

We emerged into m-space. I ran a nominal sweep on Mareneoi. Just incase the Combarra decided to cooperate. But what I found did not please me nearly as much as finding The Combarra would've.

"Oh...Father Deep..." , I was to shocked to talk for a few seconds.

[Ryan]

"What is it? What's wrong?" I ask, slightly worried.

[RAFrukh]

Xero asked me a question.

"Uh... The Yeerks just leveled the playing field a bit more. They've built a facility around the portal. It's impenstrable by my low power tyyra beams... And then planet has appeared to have absorbed the earth's atmosphere. It's habitable... They have vehicles travelling over the planet... Fleets of blue bands..."

I stared at Claxter and then Xero...,"I wont be surprised if they find the Combarra before us..."

[Ryan]

I look down at my feet. "So, this weapon... If they get it, we're all dead no matter what?" I ask, in a pessimistic tone.

[Aldrea2011]

<We have to hurry if we are to find it before the yeerks do.> I said to the two. The fate of the whole galaxy, in BOTH timelines, could be at stake.[color]

[RAFrukh]

((Nice writing Aldrea! lol, I was like, "Cue intense cutscene!" ))

"Yyeeesss...", I slowly agreed with Aldrea.

I turned to Xero, "Indeed... or infested at gun-point..."

I gulped...I scanned the facility again, "It's walls are made of cryonium... a common yeerk alloy, but still. The Prodigy's tyyra beams would only be able to destroy it given days of time... and now that the Dome-Ships have left, the nearest ship capable of destroying it would take 3 months to get here..."

[Aldrea2011]

<However, if we were to find this weapon....... that would not be hard at all.>[color]

[RAFrukh]

"No not at all... Uh," I stuttered, realizing Rhohawk was staring at me.

"What weapon are we talking of?", he asked.

I gaped at him, then moved on to Claxter. We'd just revealed a nice bunch of information to the neutrsl crowd...

"Neither of you are to repeat what you have heard here to anyone. Nor are you to ask for more information on the matter. It is classified. It's between General Ermanda, Captain Aldrea, and I. Understood?"


"Neither of you are to repeat what you have heard here to anyone. Nor are you to ask for more information on the matter. It is classified. It's between General Ermanda, Captain Aldrea, and I. Understood?", Kage asked.

I shrugged, slightly dissapointed..."Alright..."

I walked to the bwck of the bridge trying to occupy myself with systems displays.

[Ryan]

Xero sighs. "a. How big is the station and b. Could you get me inside it." he looks up at Hamee and Aldrea. It was pretty obvious what he was planning.

[RAFrukh]

I scanned the facility to the best of my ability...

"That's going to be a bit hard. Each door is locked. There is a gleet biofilter lining each door, and a giant one spanning the entire ceiling... even if we could manage to disable those, there are four Blue-bands guarding each door on the outside, and two for each door on the inside... there appear to be 10 dracon drones hovering around the pool... they spared no effort in defenses..."

I looked at him, "In other words, no. No I couldn't."

[Ryan]

I smiled a bit. It's difficult to tell if it was genuine or forced. "Only ten? That's childsplay. If they had 50, that might be hard. Ten isn't even a challenge. Do we have any extra fighters in good condition? I'll take them down from the inside. I've been training for stuff like this my entire life. You don't become a general by being a wuss. Even if I die, if I hold them off until you find the weapon then I've done my duty." You probably feel really bad about questioning his loyalty now.

[Aldrea2011]

<Perhaps it wpould be best to let me go on the mission, and you could stay here to make sure the yeerks don't try anything.> I suggested to Xero.
