"The time i whacked that Romulan Ale off of a server's tray and it happened to land cork-side down into saraabi's cup?" Kayle asked "Didn't help I was as  nervous as hell, I never knew a Romulan I could trust..." Kayle replied.

Kyva remained silent ,but attempted to block the Predators wrist blades with his energy sword, using his other hand which still held a plasma rifle to attempt a few shots at the alien being...



*** Corneria Orbit ***

 About 4  captured Cornerian vessels suddenly revealed themselves having been equipped with ship sized active camo, and began firing on the  'liberation' fleet

(I meant Sith. My brain sometimes like to insert letters or words where they don't belong. I didn't catch the mistake when I re-read the post. Oops.)

"I can't say I have," Weaver was never good at remembering locations or directions, "what's over there? I mean, other than asteroids." He'd ask about the mission later.


*** Ship Graveyard Outside Cardassian Space ***

Dusk sputtered at the bounty, "Wait wait wait, 1.5 million credits? And whatever treasure they looted? If I didn't have common sense, I might actually try and go for it. I'm already cybernetic in a fashion. Still, I like the idea of not dying or becoming some kind of guinea pig... again..." The thought was tantalizing though. He'd be set for life if he didn't lose it first.

Out of pure curiosity, and because identifying the system may have its own smaller bounty, Dusk ordered the drones to start probing the current ship for any kind of information it had related to any kind of destination. Of course, that was operating under the assumption that these ships were even chasing the Treasure System, and not some poor fleet being at the wrong place at the wrong time.

Dusk spoke up again, trying to answer Jacqueline's question, "If we look at this graveyard, then this fleet was enough to fight a single Herald, albeit with a pyrrhic victory. So we can assume the rest of the hunters had this or more in order to fight off a Herald and win in order to be abducted. In short, we probably don't stand a chance... no offense."

*Gorbis Mongdrigo, Hospital*
Grett blinked hard. “Four thousand...through a portal? Some of the data caches we’ve found describe time-manipulation, but they require so much power that it’s impractical. Interesting yarn, though.” Grett rubbed his eyes, as the lack of sleep hit him. Grett yawned, but quickly covered his mouth. “Pardon me, Lord Malgus. I’ve not slept for ah...a few days now. If your medical staff can handle the minor stuff, I ask to take my leave.”


*Starship battleground, Mongdrigo*
Vestraad made his way to Ashoka and picked up the tiberium blade. “Yes, we’ve finished the repairs. Please don’t let this bear poorly on Lord Malgus’s rule. The mutants rule themselves. We’ll be in the city within the hour.”

[Ara Av-Toa]

*Torrentus system*
Fayam blasted into Torrentus' regional space without caring whether he was being followed or not. Or whether they would halt him or not.

*New Romulus*
Anna stroked her chin. She mentioned, "Ok... Last thing: where is the site you want me to infiltrate? I'm still without location."
The gunslinger peeked aside to check on the mercenaries' accuracy. All the while, he had been firing though targets dead center continuously. He prized himself for his flawless record.

*Earth*
Mary looked around to the crowd and mentioned, "Huh. Clearly, you come around here more often. Or did you do something heroic here?"

[Michen_S]

~ Earth, Cairo ~

Michen nodded to the shopkeeper. "Yeah, I like walking around before it gets hot." That wasn't a word too much. Being a snow leopard, the fur was way too thick for comfort in warm weeather.

[Wilco Whiteheart]

*** Warship Iron Dragon, Reach Orbit ***

"We're headed for Onderon," Vhikarev said. "One of my old associates is there." he looked between Wilco and Fixel. "Either of you know anything about Onderon?"

(Warship Iron Dragon, Reach Orbit)

Wilco shakes his head. "Not a lot sir..." He looks tired. Dismiss him? Y/N

(Sorry for being gone for so long...)

[Romulan_Furry]

*** Warship Iron Dragon, Leaving Reach Orbit ***

"Then it seems we're jumping into hell blindly..." Vhikarev commented before noting Wilco's fatigue. "You look tired, son. Use my quarters, get some rest. I will see to my ship." He looked to Fixel. "You stand fast; I need to speak with you."

*** Cairo, Earth ***

"Can't say I blame you," the shopkeeper commented. "Cairo isn't exactly a place for cool weather." He paused, then snapped his fingers and stated, "Oh! While I have it on my mind - last night, someone came looking for you - guy with weird tattoos on his face. Looked like he'd painted every vein in his head. You know anyone like that?"

*** Torrent System ***

The ships under Torrentus' command did not stop Fayam - but Torrentus' flagship hailed him, sending coordinates to meet down planetside and an approach vector.

*** New Romulus ***

"As are we. Honestly, we don't know where they're basing their operation; and they don't know we're on to them, something we aim to keep that way, hence why I want to send you in alone," Obisek said. "We do, however, know of a Tal Shiar collaborator here in Mol'Rihan - a Romulan by the name of Seklom. He works the docks as a cover, but we know he's with the Tal Shiar. We know this because we intercepted an alien mercenary heading his way. He didn't realize he was dealing with Tal Shiar, so he cooperated and gave us the identification challenge - Seklom is your ticket in to the Tal Shiar operation. He'll ask you something about a Romulan Disaster - answer him with 'The Hobus Disaster'. How you put it is up to you, but tell him that, and Seklom will get you in to the Tal Shiar Operation, or at least point you there; you'll be posing as the mercenary that was originally heading there. Any further questions?"

The Romulan Mercenaries kept pace with the gunslinger, but the leader spoke to him: "I'll admit, I'm impressed. You pack more firepower than what appears. Where you from?"

*** Carnival Grounds, Earth ***

"Well, uh..." Amy said, seeming a bit nervous.

"She saved a school bus full of kids stranded some ways from here in a fit of pain-induced, Force-powered rage," Jason explained, causing Amy to blush. "What she never gets into her head is that though she was enraged, she saved over two dozen young lives, proving once again that the Dark Side is not always inherently evil; it's how you use it."

"It was so awesome! She was swinging her lightsabers like--" a young boy said excitedly, before being shushed by his mother.

*** Gorbis Mongdrigo, Hospital ***

Malgus nodded. "Of course; I won't deprive you of sleep. Had I known earlier, I'd have let you go sooner. My medical staff will handle things here."

*** Starship battleground, Mongdrigo ***

Ahsoka nodded, breathed a deep sigh, extinguished her lightsabers, clipped them to her belt, and headed for the Craat to await arrival at the City.

(I'd advise, Ray, a runner be sent to Malgus informing him of Ahsoka's visit.)

*** DMCS Desolator, Onyxia Prime Orbit ***

"It's an asteroid field that is filled with asteroids containing very volatile - but highly useful as fuel, once refined - chemicals and oils. The asteroids also have a very high metal content, making sensor readings unreliable inside that field," Praven explained, motioning a chair to offer Weaver a seat. "It was named Peragus III because, like Peragus II - which was an asteroid field of an identical purpose, destroyed five years after the Jedi Civil War - it's an extremely dangerous field in the way that if one asteroid is ignited, the whole field will go up in one massive explosion. Anyone caught inside would be riding out on a comet trail." Praven scoffed as he sat down in a chair and sat back. "Regardless, we're headed to Peragus III to investigate why there has been no contact with the facility there. And here's why your arrival was most opportune: Your vessel is small enough that it could navigate the field far more easily than any vessel I have on hand."

*** Ship Graveyard Outside Cardassian Space ***

"Be that as it may, a bounty like that would be a huge help, even if I had to split it with you. Doing some checking right now to see if the KDF guy's numbers are right. And if this place is real, all we'd need to do is reprogram or deactivate this... Captain Argus, whatever his name is, we'd just have to reprogram or deactivate his drone fleet, and the system is ours for the taking," Jacqueline said. "But there's complications - something must have prevented others from reporting this location back, or that place would have been picked clean by treasure hunters and scavengers by now. I have some ideas, because this kind of thing sounds familiar - something related to the Starfleet Vessel Voyager. I'll have to check. If we can find a way in, if we can put an end to this thing... would you want to be in on it? Think about it - we'd be claiming decades of treasure that no one has ever been able to claim - for me, that means salvageable ships and plundered treasures; for you, that means decades of military and civilian tech, a sizeable bounty, and whatever other treasures you can find a market for."

*** UACS Unseen Assailant, Cardassia Prime Orbit ***

"Can't say I blame ya," Coby commented. "Until the Romulan Republic came on the scene, I thought that all--" Saraabi walked through the door before Coby could finish his sentence.

"Sorry I'm late - had a mandatory meeting with the Cardassian Heads of State, and dad was busy with something else," she said. "Where have you been, Kayle? Thought you were investigating a battle graveyard for Admiral Voro?"

*** Green hills merchant ship crash site ***

The Predator took one of those shots to his shoulder, but kept on fighting, trying to cut Kyva to ribbons with his wrist blades.

*** Corneria Orbit ***

The Liberation Fleet took the hits, but remained combat-effective. The fleet advanced on the Sith Covenant positions, where they were hit with another attack - from the sides. KDF and Romulan Republic vessels de-cloaked and engaged the surprised Sith Covenant forces. Commander Dyrenov looked to his Sith Superior. "Orders, my lord?"

The fleets were more or less evenly-matched. The Sith - Lord Praxis - was calm, but his tone rang of malevolent hatred. "I have no interest in prisoners... kill them all."

[Alessia Starfurr]

*** Warship Iron Dragon, Leaving Reach Orbit ***

"What is it you need?" Fixel asked, taking off her clone commando helmet, looking to  Vhikarev.

*** UACS Unseen Assailant, Cardassia Prime Orbit ***

"Officially, yes. Unofficially I was testing some new weapon refits for Righteous class destroyers." Kayle explained "I have some good news and some bad news." The good news is  The Virtuous  has been assigned as a permanent part of your ships escort group, the bad  news is I'll be seeing more of you, so  I was kinda joking. Argus can fly the ship himself so we can spend more time together, your missions and other things allowing, of course. On the other hand I brought you a few things." The Fox added motioning to the crate beside him."Since I apparently missed your birthday, consider it a makup for missing it along witht the usual gift." he added.

*** Green hills merchant ship crash site ***

Kyva fired more shots from his plasma rifle while attempting to block the predators wrist blades with  his energy sword his personal shield  flaring as he got  cut from the blades  just a little as he had to back off, tired of this game he  attemptd to stab the predator in it's chest with his energy sword, "Whoa?!" he said as his 'datapad' updated with something quiet disturbing.


****Outskirts of New Cairo,10 miles from city, abandoned Factory, outer city, Dragon'taan ****

 High alert sensors would pick up a unindentified radio signal sent directly to an abandoned factory on the very edge of the outskirts of an outer city, New Cairo seconds later the building would erupt in a  rather large blast ,a  nuclear one, the mushroom cloud rising into the air throwing radioactive material into the outer parts of New Cairo the shock wave reaching over Draco citie's walls, the nuclear blast and resulting radiation would set off many sensor systems  watching over the area.


*** Draco city ***

Alex skidded to  a stop "EVERYONE ON THE GROUND NOW!!" she shouted going  prone  to hopefully avoid the coming shockwave from the Nuke, after the winds past she got up and looked around "Who the hell is crazy enough to set off a nuke that close to Draco city.


 Meanwhile else where Amie was running home when the shockwave, although somewhat weakened by now blew into her causing her to fall, and drop Shiloe, who  was more happy than scared to be flying through the air.... luckly as she fell down towards the ground a  yellow armored Spartan caught the young Vixen from the air "Hello there Shiloe, seems I came just in time, Amie you okay?" she asked looking at the white vixen on the ground...

--Conqueror Dropship, Dragon'taan lower orbit.--

"Krystal to Markus do you read me?" "We'll be entering Dragon'taan's atmopshere momentarily.... sensors report a nuclear explosion in the outskirts of Draco city."

[Wilco Whiteheart]

(Warship Iron Dragon, Leaving Reach Orbit)

Wilco nods and silently walks off, staggering slightly. He reaches Vhikarevs quarters and flops onto the bed, falling asleep instantly.

[Rayleonarde]

*Gorbis Mongdrigo, Streets*
As Malgus exited the hospital, the citizenry had gathered around. They sang praises, men knelt before him, women offered babies for blessing and children stared in awe at their savior.


A Mongdrigan Ranger approached Malgus, shouting over the din. “You’ve a visitor, Lord! She’s come with Vestraad, and is on her way now!”


*The Craat, Gorbis local airspace*
Vestraad sighed aloud as he sank into his padded chair, and looked to Ashoka. “Sorry about the delay. Lord Malgus should know of your arrival soon.”

[Michen_S]

~ Earth, Cairo ~

Michen tilted his head. Someone with many tattoos? The feral tried to remember, but the officer he met some time ago didn't seem to have those. There was nobody else they had seen with those tattoos either. "Mh, I can't say I know anyone like that... I'll keep it in mind." This whole situation was getting ever weirder, with more questions arising without any answers.

[Ara Av-Toa]

*Torrentus system*
Fayam guided his ship to the appointed place using the approach vector, making sure to have a good first impression.

*New Romulus*
Anna thought about it, then said, "I think things should be clear. I'll head back to Faith to get my battle gear so I'll be both unrecognisable and looking like a mercenary who takes their job very seriously." After those words she raised her hand as she left.
The gunslinger grinned. "Heh. I'm a Gaian. And this thing the best laser rifle Gaia has to offer at the moment. Standard among the snipers of the GAC, actually. Well, I can't blame them. They're both invisible and -as you've seen- very deadly."

*Earth*
Mary said as a way of understanding, "Aaah. That explains a lot indeed. I'm kinda starting to wonder whether I'd also be able to pull such things off."

[Taliaka Anichezachi]

**Uncharted Space M17J**
Ayki smiles a bit "Why can't i just board your ship, my ship is tiny and you probably have a hangar for it, i am not sure why i wanna go we have not really been in this part of space before" she replied "Perhaps you of all things are up for discovering a new species never seen before by your kind, or any kind"

[Weaver]

*** DMCS Desolator, Onyxia Prime Orbit ***

Weaver sat down, "Oh," was his first initial response. He was silent for a moment, "so... if one asteroid gets hit the wrong way, everything goes up in flames? Hrm... I don't know. I guess it'll be fine as long as the facility didn't have any kind of weaponry on board. Er... they don't do they?"


*** Ship Graveyard Outside Cardassian Space ***

Dusk whistled, "Now I can clearly see why people keep chasing corpses. Hm... but I do think I know of some ways of bypassing this threat too. Ugh... but I'm sure everyone else before us said the same thing. But now that I think about it, treasure is one thing, but being the ones who took down this menace that has been harassing governments... that would also make us heroes too wouldn't it? Alright. You've sold me on this ridiculous plan. First things first however. Do we even know where to start looking?"

[Romulan_Furry]

*** DMCS Desolator, Onyxia Prime Orbit ***

"Oh, certainly not. This stuff explodes when hit with energy weapons. In fact, the only thing close to that allowed aboard the station are sonic charges and mining lasers. The Mining Facility is very touchy about this sort of thing. Ballistic weapons, bullets... they seem to have no effect on this stuff, however," Praven explained. "We lost contact with the facility some time ago, and the DMC has tasked me with finding out why the facility isn't answering hails. It could be a downed or damaged transmitter or communications array - but the Force tells me otherwise. Something happened at that facility. Now, ordinarily, I'd investigate this myself, but one, my personal ship is down for maintenance, and will be for a few weeks; and two, this ship isn't small enough to effectively navigate that field without causing the whole field to go supernova. I was going to request one of our Dragon friends, here, accompany me to help investigate this matter - before Rellius called. Now you're here. And you needn't worry about your pay - that'll be handled by the DMC once I explain things to them."

*** Ship Graveyard Outside Cardassian Space ***

"Gonna have to do some digging, see what I can find," Jacqueline replied. "But I'd like it if you kept close to me and my fleet, so I don't have to go hunting for you. Regardless, we should finish up affairs here and then head for the rendezvous spot and meet up with the rest of my fleet." As she said this, a trio of Jem'Hadar Destroyers went active - a result of Jacqueline's drones restoring the ships' systems. "While we're here, I'd advise you take some of these vessels - they might come in handy, and there's plenty to choose from. If you need some extra drones or something to run them, let me know."

*** Uncharted Space M17J ***

"For one thing, my hangars are full; for another--" The commander of the Tornado began, before another ship of the same class dropped out of hyperspace. The Commander was silent to Ayki, as he would speak to the commander of the new vessel on another channel, before speaking to Ayki again. "... How convenient. I'm being relieved. Well, feel free to board my vessel - hangar's in the belly of the ship. However, as I said, my hangars are full, so I'd advise using the docking bay between the hangars, instead. I'll have tractor beams guide you in once you get close. Hop aboard, I'll get you where you aim to go."

*** Torrent System ***

When Fayam landed, he would find he had a pair of Romulan Mercenaries waiting for him, both armed with heavily-modded disruptor rifles. Neither of them looked friendly, but they would speak in a diplomatic manner: "Lord Torrentus wishes to speak with you. Please follow us."

*** New Romulus ***

Admiral Obisek continued to go over data, hoping in the corner of his mind this captain wouldn't be walking to her doom.

"Clearly," the Romulan Merc agreed. "Look, I'll be frank - my crew and I have been looking for work since our captain turned into a Tal Shiar toady. I don't suppose you know of anyone needing a mercenary group of former-marines?"

*** Carnival Grounds, Earth ***

"If your moment does come, be warned - it won't come when it's convenient for you. I didn't ask for that fight, it got forced on me," Amy warned Mary.

"She's not wrong," Jason sighed. "She and I both have had our fair share of those moments."

*** Cairo, Earth ***

As Michen would continue, a strange, tattooed man would follow some ways behind him - far enough to not easily be spotted. As he followed, he occasionally spoke quietly to something in his trench coat collar.

*** Gorbis Mongdrigo, Streets ***

Malgus gently strode through the gathered crowd. He was unwilling to remove his breath mask, lest the Mongdrigans see battle scars from a war nearly four millennia ago. When he heard the ranger, he frowned. "A visitor? Who?" he asked.

*** The Craat, Gorbis local airspace ***

"Understood," Ahsoka said. She mentally prepared herself to meet a millennia-old Sith Lord, but even she didn't truly know how Malgus would react to a Jedi. Would he be hostile? Would he try to turn her? Or, if the reports she'd been getting of him were to be believed, would he be calm and cordial?

*** Warship Iron Dragon, Leaving Reach Orbit ***

"I wanted answers: How did you know I was on Reach, and how did you find me? And why did I have visions of you while I was on Reach?" Vhikarev asked.

Ahkrinviingah would speak to Fixel: "How you answer is your choice... my advice? Do not tell him you are DMC. At the moment, it will only... anger him."

*** UACS Unseen Assailant, Cardassia Prime Orbit ***

"That right?" Saraabi asked, approaching the crate. "I hope you have more than the good stuff in there - kinda hungry right now. That meeting with the Cardassians took longer than expected."

*** Green hills merchant ship crash site ***

The Predator didn't even have a chance to scream when Kyva drove his sword through the Predator's chest - the blade cleaved his heart on two. Death was instant. The humans cheered Kyva on, having seen him defeat the creature that had plagued them since they crashed here.

*** Draco city, Dragon'taan ***

Drake managed to keep his balance when the shockwave hit and keep a good grip on little Jason, but had his eyes slammed shut when that nuke went off. No way was he gonna go blind like that. After, he went to Amie's side. "Honey, you okay?" He would try to help her up to get her and Shiloe to their jeep, trying to ignore the mushroom cloud in the distance and just get home.

Ann was facing the other way when the nuke went off, but after the bright flash, she rushed to a window and saw it. "Someone tell me I'm not the only one seeing this..." she said hoarsely.

*** Dragon'taan Orbit ***

"I saw the blast from up here, dear," Markus replied. "I strongly advise you not go in there; the radiation will be lethal. I don't know if your protomech can handle radioactivity on a scale like that."

*** Corneria Orbit ***

The battle over Corneria raged on. The Sith Covenant were hell-bent on keeping this slice of territory, while Commander Travis and his forces, working in tandem with Team Star Fox aboard a stolen Sith Frigate and Cornerian Resistance Forces now appearing everywhere, fought to liberate the Cornerian Capitol.

What neither side expected was the sudden appearance of not only a joint TEC, Advent and Vasari fleet, claiming to be from the Triple Alliance, but also a joint fleet of Dragonarian and Kemorainian ships, all coming to aid the oppressed people of Corneria.

But the Sith Covenant had surprises of their own - a reinforcement fleet that dropped in from parts unknown.

(Anyone else wanna add their own spin to the Liberation of Corneria?)
