Galactic Society (Open/Lounge RP, but READ FIRST POST)

[Alessia Starfurr]

*** Terra Ceti Orbit ***

"Galatae Deploying prefab base now, standby."

*** Terra Ceti, California DMC Base. ***

at one of the whatch towers of the base Brownish desert fox looks through his sophisticated Biker goggles a hud projected into the lenses,zooming in with the lenses he spotts something, and pulls out his radio. "Raider ambush, 20 of them they must really want" he says into the radio pulling out his sniper rifle, a large .50 caliber sniper and prepares to shoot.

[Romulan_Furry]

*** Terra Ceti Orbit ***

Vokun patiently waited for the aforementioned prefab structure to be deployed, still wanting answers to why they were here.

*** Star Destroyer Reckoning, Tatooine Orbit ***

As though on cue, the Reckoning dropped out of hyperspace over Tatooine amidst a jumble of other ships - freighters, mostly, with a few Hutt-run Warships keeping watch over the space orbiting Tatooine. "Hope you're ready to ice some immoral corporate personnel," Draco told Dawn.

Doc walked toward the bridge of the Reckoning, hoping Blaine and Kozik were in tow. "I'm curious - how much do you two know about General Bellator?" he asked them.

*** Mongdrigo, Southeastern Fields ***

Malgus shifted in place and crossed his arms. "Tell me of this one that resides in the city... how did she come to be there? What was her reason, her... motive?"

*** Coruscant Senate Building ***

The rep shrugged, then asked, "Might I ask where you are from?"

"Representative Stiles," came a female voice. Walking from the direction of one of the stairwells was a woman dressed in ornate white robes, with blue eyes and auburn hair. "Are you holding up another foreign dignitary?"

"Supreme Chancellor," Stiles greeted her, evidently having been startled by her voice, "I was not aware you were on this level. This man here..." he indicated Vestraad. "... wanted to speak with you."

The Supreme Chancellor fixed her gaze on Vestraad, and her expression softened. "You probably will have heard, but in case you didn't, I am Mon Mothma." She extended a hand. "Welcome to Coruscant. I don't believe we've met before... you are...?"

*** Kuat ***

There was a pause on the channel before the rep from Kuat responded, "Well... given recent tech upgrades to the shipyards, we'd estimate anywhere between two to three weeks to completion."

(Anna, if you have any ideas for a collaboration for Mary's vacation, shoot me a PM. I have a couple ideas, maybe I can run them by you before I set them in motion.)

*** New Cerinia ***

"An independent contractor discovered a Tal Shiar plot to kidnap Celina," Markus grumbled, trying to help Krystal to her feet. "I told you they'd hold a grudge for the whole incident at Gamma Craeteris IV."

*** Outside Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

Roc took the image and then moved in another direction, disappearing in an adjacent alley. Shortly thereafter, what looked to be Rae joined Alex. "The holographic deception is image only," Rae said quietly in Roc's voice. "Any change in the target?"

*** Reach ***

Vhikarev took the back wordlessly, checking the load of his weapon. "Let's get going... before someone - or something - cancels the trip," he said quietly.

[Alessia Starfurr]

** Outside Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"Other than he's moving deeper into the city no." Alex replied following after the senator.



*** Terra Ceti Orbit ***
 A large container exited one of the Galatae's massive Hanger bays floating out into space.


*** Terra Ceti Surface, California, DMC Base ***

 The base soon sent a transmission to space to delay the deployment of the new base and requested for reinforcements...



*** New Cerinia ***


"So what else is new?" Krystal asked seemly unphased by the news as she got up.

[Rayleonarde]

*Coruscant Senate Building*
Vestraad bowed slightly, smiling as he did so. "Captain Vestraad, ma'am. I'm from Mongdrigo on the first excursion in...well...what's been generations. I sought council with you to possibly discuss opening trade routes. We Mongdrigans don't have much in the way of technology," he waved a paw at the floating traffic. "Like atmospheric flight, at least for personal vessels. But we offer tiberium, processed of course, and access to manpower."


*Mongdrigo, South Eastern Fields*


Old Kev shrugged. "She came about after Great Leader spoke with the Bugmen. I was not present so I'm not sure what was discussed. Nor do I know her intentions. The Bugmen, as mysterious as they are, do often simply observe their neighbors."

[Wilco Whiteheart]

(Reach)


Tomas hits the gas and they speed off towards the base.


(Reach, Training Grounds)

Willa nods and Carl shows Okkal the batteries. They are the standard type found in some energy weapons.


"It depends on what you have for trade. We don't just give blueprints away to people we can't trust, but you are an exception, Okkal." Willa says.

[Rayleonarde]

*Reach*
Okkal shrugged. “Couldn’t really say. Our arms aren’t as advanced as this. But, perhaps I’ll have something to show on my planet.” He chuckled, patting both Willa and the Spartan’s shoulders. “Can’t be slinging hot tiberium ‘round places like this.”

[Michen_S]

~ Earth, Cairo ~

No matter where they looked, Michen couldn't find the key to this room anywhere. Frustrated and stressed from the situation they sat down in the room. They had to calm down for a moment now, else they would emotionally snap and then the situation would be even worse. They tried to sit down and think clearly for a second, figuring out what they could do next.

After calming down a little, they decided to figure out how the lock of the room worked. Walking towards the door, they checked what kind of lock system was installed in this motel.

[Wilco Whiteheart]

(Reach, Training Grounds)


Willa nods. "Your right there."

[Ara Av-Toa]

*Unknown*
Fayam arrived at the location of Celina in a short time. He didn't know what she was doing here or  why, but it wasn't his main concern. All he cared about now was keeping the Admiral's daughter out of the Tal Shiar clutches. He kept the weapons and shield on standby.

*Kuat*
Anna mumbled, "Hm... That's less time than I thought. Still, it's gonna take a while. You start building, I'll return to New Romulus and see D'Tan. OK?"

*Earth*
That night, Mary slept like a brick. One would need an explosion to wake her up.

[Romulan_Furry]

*** Kuat ***

"Understood - we'll keep you posted," the Kuat rep responded.

*** Earth ***

Mary wasn't the only one sleeping so soundly. Amy and Jason both slept just as soundly, with Jason behind Amy, his arms wrapped around her, and his nose gently pressed against the back of her neck.

*** Cairo, Earth ***

The lock was a motel-standard card lock, where a thin horizontal receptacle would scan the card and lock or unlock the door. A knock sounded, and a female voice said, "Room service - anything to eat, sir?"

*** Reach ***

Vhikarev thought of a question to pass the time. "Mister Wilco... the artifact that was found here on Reach during the war... what ever happened to it?"

(Wilco, have you read the book Halo: First Strike?)

*** Coruscant Senate Building ***

"Oh, I see," Mon Mothma responded. "I'm afraid I don't know much about Tiberium. What are it's applications?"

*** Mongdrigo, South Eastern Fields ***

"I see..." Malgus said softly. He thought for a few moments, then recomposed himself. "Well, let's get the obvious questions out of the way - what is your purpose coming here, and why are you so... forthcoming... with me?"

*** Outside Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"What do you intend to do? And what are we looking for?" Roc asked quietly.

*** Terra Ceti Orbit ***

"Inquisitor to the Galatae - we're getting a distress signal down planetside," Vokun radioed the Galatae. "Are you getting this?"

*** New Cerinia ***

"You still shouldn't have pushed them like that," Markus told Krystal. "You know as well as I do that Romulans are most dangerous when backed into a corner."

[Wilco Whiteheart]

(I have, but I don't really remember)

(Reach)

Wilco shrugs. "I don't really know."

[Alessia Starfurr]

** Outside Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

"We need proof he's collaborating with our enemies so, we follow him home." Alex explained her plan. "And work it out from there.



*** Terra Ceti Orbit ***
 "Affirmative, Inquisitor" The Galatea replied "we've already sent down a detachment of our new Hellfire Mk III  power armor>"

indeed a smaller  ship headed towards the surface...


*** Terra Ceti Surface, California, DMC Base ***

  A large band of primitively equiped Raiders were charging towards  the base some mowed down by sniper and machine gun fire, returning their own  fire with more primitive but still effective earth like ballistic weapons  similar to those seen used during  the 20th and 21st century, with some  missile and grenade weapons in between.



*** New Cerinia ***

"You know exactly how I feel about Romulans, Markus I don't trust most of them."

[Rayleonarde]

*Reach*
Okkal nodded as he inspected the Splazer's battery-array. "Huh...enough energy to pierce armor...in such a small package too." He shrugged, and continued down the line.


*Coruscant Senate Building*
"Nearly limitless," Vestraad beamed. "You can liquidate it, run it through kinetic agitators, and get tons of power. Refine it with the proper chemicals and you can pull most raw metals from it. It makes great decoration, too, once you treat it properly."


*Mongdrigo, South Eastern Fields*
"To better relations between the city-dwellers and my people," Old Kev said. "As for being here, these are my hunting grounds. Though, it has been a few years since I have been here."

[Romulan_Furry]

*** Coruscant Senate Building ***

"Really?" Mon Mothma said, her face portraying genuine interest. She motioned for Vestraad to follow her. "We'd be better off discussing this in my office. Please come with me." She would then, assuming Vestraad was in tow, walk toward one of the stairways.

*** Mongdrigo, South Eastern Fields ***

"I see..." Malgus said. He looked back at the Sith troopers behind him and made a simple hand gesture. While none of the troopers had weapons pointed at Kev, they all had them drawn, just in case. On Malgus' gesture, they all holstered or slung their weapons. "Apologies for that - one cannot be too careful. These are dangerous days, if you believe the talk."

*** Outside Sol's Bar & Grille, Draco City, Dragon'taan ***

Roc wordlessly acknowledged Alex, checking the load on his AR197.

*** Terra Ceti Orbit ***

"Should I send my own forces down to assist?" Vokun asked.

(Who's commanding the Galatae again?)

*** Reach ***

Vhikarev remained silent, but suddenly doubled over in his seat, clutching his head as her was greeted with what could be termed as a psychic flash. The most the others would see was him doubling over, and all they would hear is him gasping as though in pain.

He saw a sudden appearance of a Covenant ship, inside Reach's atmosphere, and a mixed force of Jiralhanae and human rebels, all armed with Covenant weapons, and they were...

Vhikarev never saw what the attacking force did, the vision ended before he could see what happened. But he then got a sudden sickening sensation in his gut - and he knew all too well what that meant.

"Wilco..." He finally said, "... get your commanders on the horn. This place is about to come under attack."

[Wilco Whiteheart]

(Reach)

The sound of AA guns can be heard and alarms start blaring. "Seems like they already know." Wilco says.

(Reach, Training Grounds)


Willa leads Okkal to a nearby bunker as the spartans start gathering in their squads. "Stay here until one of us come back to get you, ok?" She says smiling at him.

Tomas pulls up and Everyone piles out. "Looks like we're here in time."
