Chapter 1: The Core

May 04, 2007 18:07

Above Ari 4, the stars shone brightly, sending their amience towards rippling clouds of gas, illuminating planets and nebulae, and passing ships between various universal realms. Ari 4 gleamed brightly in the reflective gaze of the System's sun; From space, the brilliant white icecaps glared, subduing the massive specks of brown badlands ( Read more... )

A Dream that lives on azure_serenity May 6 2007, 07:27:30 UTC
She looked more like a civilian than a mercenary by standing there. Instead of a military jacket or anything of the sort, she stood there wearing a beautiful dark red and purple kimono that looked like it was going to fall right off if it wasn't for the black straps that heald it up. She flicked the clips in her hair twice, and approached the the woman before her.

"The payment will be just fine," Her voice was sleek like her figure, the sound of a woman secure in her position. "It is an easy mission after all."

Her walk was delicate, but there was presence behind it, and despite her appearence, she knew what she was doing.

"Codename 'Dreamer' reporting for duty," There was a quiet laugh in her voice as she mentioned her name, a laugh that almost spoke of irony. "I am ready for anything, just give me what I need."

"Dreamer, eh?" Terra smirks, wrinkling up her nose. Her dogtags jingle udnerneath her jacket as she takes a step forward. "Your outfit is very beautiful, Dreamer...It'd be a shame to ruin it in the field."

Turning around again, Terra strolls back to the table.

"Well, I can't tell ya a thing about Modern Fashion but I can offer ya some skill training, if yer interested.
You're an Armor Rider, right? Hmmm...I'd say you should take either Launcher Arms- in case we find any 'jackable Mechs, or Assault Rifles..." (The list has been posted in a seperate post)

Please Choose one skill from the Feat List in the New Post. Make sure it is possible to learn. When you have decided, Terra will give you a choice of weapons, gear, and OP-SAT, and then your mission briefing.

There was a rather seductive and low chuckle in the tone of Dreamer. Her arms crossed slowly over her chest.

"Any clothing can be ruined on the battlefield," She mused towards Terra. "But you need not worry about it my dear, as I will not usually be out in the open like this. However, I will take up your advice and take up the skills you offer with Assault Rifles. It will be more usefull in the beginning of our operations. I would hate to see any of the beautiful faces here be scarred so soon. So, shall we continue?"

There was something about this woman that did not seem right at all, but never the less, she seemed to be very willing to help.

Terra chuckled, skrunching her nose up. She toyingly played with her dogtags for a moment, staring at Dreamer with an unusally giddy expression, before continuing.

"Right on."

Dreamer has learned Assault Rifles

"Well, seeing as you prefer straight up destruction, let me offer you a few of my favorite toys." Terra hopped lively into a nearby chair, kneeling on the torn seat cushion, and dug into her heaping pile of armaments.

She removed a compact blue-grey rifle from the mass, and cradled it in her arms.

"A RX Standard Issue Assault Rifle. Good weapon. Accurate and reliable. " The ship ricketed, the otuer hull making an insidiously discomforting noise. "...Unlike some people's piloting skills." Terra added, giving a nasty glare at the Com-Link.

"This would mosta likely suit ya." Terra said, obviously enjoying herself.

"I also have several others, if ya want."

A young girl with light blue hair and blue skin tone stood up and made her way to Terra. Her hair was tied up in a bun and she wore simple attire excluding the army boots. She went up to Terra and smirked at her, "My, I love your attitude, too bad your not joining us," she said. "Oh, pardon my manners. My name is Arielle, and I'm damn happy to meet you."

Arielle asks for a character sheet and training.

Terra smirked, flashing brilliantly white teeth. "I am joining you though. As brave...or foolish... as this lot is to rush into battle against those Core bastards, you won't survive a minute out there withotu proper combat training."

She turned her back on the girl, facing the munitions supply. "SO you're an engineer, eh?" She played with a few of the weapons on the table before turnign around again.

"Alright, For starters, I'd like to train you in a new skill. As you are an engineer, and this shithole planet will probably have us facing swarms of enemy guards and vehicles, I'd recommend you train in either Crafting: Sentry Turrets or some form of Launcher efficency. But, you don't have to follow my advice, dear." (Check the new Post for all available feats)

She leaned her roughly beaten combat boots against the side of the cluttered table. A pair of dogtags, hanging otu from the openign in Terra's jacket, clinked as the ship picked up speed, yet again.

"WHat's it gonna be?" she asked, smirking still.

Arielle smirked at Terra again. "Well Well," she smiled. "Looks like I've found my long lost sister." She gave a hearty laugh at those words. She then continued, "Yep, I'm an engineer alright, and I'll try to help as best as I can for this mission. Seeing as I trust your judgement, I think I'll take your advice and go for Crafting: Sentry Turrets." At those words, she turned around and viewed her fellow companions for this mission. Let's see now...over there is a women in a kimono, what seems to be a burned monk, and a well trained commando. Yep, this will be interesting. After Arielle mused in her mind, she looked at Terra. "I have to admitt, I'm glad your here with us," she smiled. "I think we'll need all the help we can get."

Terra shot the girl a look that was a mixture of flattery and irritation. "Well, regardless...just make sure to keep yer head out of the line of fire. You're an Engineer, not a Solider."

She paused a moment, toying with her belt buckle. "Speaking of line of fire, you need weapons. And equipment."

Terra rummaged through the remaining items on the workstation. "Take yer pick," she breathed.

By this time Dante's face was severely burnt with large pieces of skin missing from his face to the point where he was almost completely unrecognizable.

He hoped that this as well as his plain white Monk robe, and his alias would be an affective enough disguise.

Dante stood up and walked toward Terra and said to her in his humblest voice, "Greetings Miss Terra, my name is Isaias Ezekiel and I would greatly appreciate any assistance you could offer me".

Dante asked Terra for his equipment, basic training and character Sheet

Terra made a puzzled face, her magenta-black hair falling back into her eyes. "Wow. I didn;t think there were still Arcanists alive in this bloody universe." She smiled, and bowed deeply, yet did so without lowering her eyes to Isaisas.

"Well, you may have much power, but I'd recommend learning a skill, 'good-sir.' (Look at the new Post for Feat Information) This mission's gonna have swarms of Core bastards about, so I suggest you either pick up Assault Rifles or, since you have sufficent 'spirtual weapons'..." Terra snorts, as if slightly mocking.

"Maybe you could be a backup healer. Try Crafting: Medipack... But really, choose whatever skill you think appropriate."

Her mocking smile returns.

Dante carefully thinks over his options "Crafting: Medpacks looks appealing and I may want to learn it later but I don't want to have to rely only on my spells to deal with my enemy's. So I would appreciate it if you could teach me to use Assault Rifles".

"Good...I myself tend not to trust ancient magics. All i need is a good rifle by my side." Terra snickers, patting her beloved sniper rifle, which lounges on the tabletop.

Isaias learns Assault Rifles

"Well, along those lines, I have several weapons you can choose from. This was a tad hard to come by, but I did manage to scrounge this on Talos a few months back..."

Terra pulls out a small Beam Saber, spinning the hilt playfully in her gloved hands. "It's only a weak green crystal, though I'm sure an arcanist like yerself can conjure up a few uses for it."

Isaias was burning up inside from the insult how dare you mock me Isaias thought to himself. But Isaias quickly got a grip of himself and said to Terra "Hm I was never one to put my trust in such unreliable weapons but I think I'll take the RX Assault rifle, the Shotgun, and as unreliable as they are I would also like a box of 6 RX-49A Grenades.

"Well, we'll see, won't we?" Terra said, compalcently. She pulled a bag of ammo aside and began tossing random objects out onto the tabletop, adding to the endless clutter.

Isaias recieves six 30-shot Automatic Rifle Clips, Standard Ammo. Isaias also recieves 10 5-shot Shotgun Clips, Standard Ammo.

"Here, take yer stuff, Mr. Mage, and have a seat. I'll pass out your briefings and OP-SATs after everyone's equipped."

"Maytag ready, Trained and tried commando, your orders?"

elynrea2 May 7 2007, 15:02:51 UTC
"Maytag?" Terra looks extremly puzzled. "I've heard that name before..." She twirls a glove clad finger through her magenta-black hair.

"You seem as if you've had quite a bit of combat training haven't you? Well, I'm sure your much more prepared for this than the rest of this greenhorn outfit." She coughs, and spits some phlem intot he greasy corner of the hangar.

"I can train ya in whatever skills you want, though, seeing the state of the unit, I'd recommend either Craft:Medipacks or Photon Rifles. Yer choice."

Maytag shakes his head and apologizes for the pause.

"I was....thinking, sorry, yeah I'll take the Photon Rifles"

"Alright then."

Terra presses several buttons on a silvery metal box; With a whir, the top clicks open to expose a gleaming white rifle. The bottom of the weapon glows a thick yellow, from a massive pulse battery underneath.

"This is an RX-M1 Tactical Photon Rifle. It has options for photo-grenade ammunition feeds, and long lasting battery life." She smiles at ehr fellow solider, obviously enjoying Maytag's love for her own passion of all things dangerous.

"But of course, a rifle like this is meaningless standin' next to the RX-1002 Heavy Assault Launcher. That thing'll take down a tank. Maybe two...Take yer pick solider."
