Temporal Terror

[RAFrukh]

"I think I've got something!" I said. I was picking up a transmission...

"This is Aldrea-Nerelth-Trene of the Dome-Ship StarSavior! We are in need of immediate assistance! Our ship has ben infilt––" TSEEEWWW! TSEEW, TSEEEEW!

The transmission went static. The crackling of the communique, however, was not as empty as it seemed. It meant that the communications array had been destroyed from the inside.

"Infiltrated? How could that be?" My heart began to race.

((Aldrea-Nerelth-Trene will eventually be a playable character. This will only be allowed when the Yeerks are exposed, and out in the open. Once someone takes the role of Aldrea, they will write in purple text.))

[Cobra (Gymn)]

They are out of range of my telepathy. We must move closer and investigate! Parag was worried by this turn of events. Kage was worried as well.

[Chad32]

<That sounded like dracon fire. Dracon beams have been outlawed. The Yeerks lost seventy years ago, but there was always talk of some group of them hiding in the shadows. I don't suppose this is one such group. The only other race to commonly use dracons is the Skrit Na, and this doesn't seem like their style. Ambassador, are we in range to send a message out before we land? We may want to let any nearby allied forces know of the danger.>

[RAFrukh]

"Yes...yes, of course!" I replied to Claxter. I had been so worried about Acoun and Captain Aldrea that I forgot about being safe.

I cued the computer to open a channel to all allied vessels within range, "To all ships in the area, this is Ambassador Kage Hamee of the Prodigy. We have turned up a transmission from the StarSavior. We advise all ships to remain in orbit of this planet...NR–156927–1...until further notice."

Then, "Ok. I'm taking us in."

I pressed a few keys, and a manual steering bar came up. It was one of those great inovations the Terrans came up with. And it felt more comfortable in my hands then a console did.

I steered us down...
Post Merged: December 28, 2010, 05:02:08 PMThe moon had a light cloud cover. Translucent at best. But most ship viewers could still see us on the surface.

The moon had virtually no atmosphere. If we did get out, it'd be with enviro-suits.

We skimmed the surface...it was so cold out on this Nebula Rogue –– which is why it was NR–156927–1 –– that the atmosphere was partly crystalized, floating in the 'air' or stuck on the surface. The Prodigy would have a few scratches when this was over for sure.

[Chad32]

<Alright. Parag and I can leave to check things out. Ambassador, I ask that you remain in the ship. You are too important to go into battle.> Claxter said.

[RAFrukh]

"Stay here? I don't think so. I need my tactical/security officer with me. But I also need someone to read the area. We're all going. I am Ambassador Acoun's personal friend. I need to help. Plus: It's my ship."

I walked toward the back and grabbed a Hork-Bajir EV-suit, an Andalite EV-suit, and a Leeran EV-suit. I put mine on, "Let's go." I said as a giant crashed andalite ship came into view.

[Cobra (Gymn)]

Parag put his on and exited the ship. Where are they?

[Chad32]

Claxter complied, and put his suit on. He walked ahead, but didn't send any thought speech out. His stalk eyes roamed carefully, looking for any sign of movement, and his right hand rested on his shredder.

[RAFrukh]

I picked up my Scrutinization Emblazon Nacelle Serried Objective Recorder; S.E.N.S.O.R.

I scanned around, until I picked what our visual screen saw only moments before: An andalite dome-ship. The StarSavior. It had no external damage but for the compression and hull breaches caused by the high-altitude crash.

"That way" I said in my microphone. I moved off in the direction of the domeship.

[Chad32]

Claxter walked up to the crashed Domeship, and took a look. The door wouldn't open, but there was a sizeable hole nearby leading into a hallway. <We will want to head to the bridge and see if anything is still operational. It's in this direction.> He said.

[Cobra (Gymn)]

Parag hurried along. Ambassador Acoun? Where are you?

[RAFrukh]

((I would say Kage is fairing a little better than Vogefac at the moment...))

"Acknowledged." I said. I followed Claxter. He was an Andalite, so he would obviously know the inner workings of the ship himself.

The lights were partly off, and the floor seemed moist...maybe it was my mind playing tricks?

We headed off for the bridge.

When we finally got there, the door was locked.

"Claxter, do you know the security codes for a high-security Dome-Ship?"

He was a security officer, right?

[Chad32]

Claxter used thought speech to activate a panel, and punched in some codes. He gained clearance, and the doors of the bridge opened. He entered the room cautiously, and looked around. There had been a battle in here, and he began to check for signs of life.

[RAFrukh]

I lifted my SENSOR. There were life-signs.

"Yhua," I whispered, "Are you reading anything?"

I heard some footfalls...

[Chad32]

<Halt. Identify yourselves.> Claxter said as whoever was coming got closer. His hand was still on his weapon.
