Coalition Operations I: From the Ashes (RP. Apply in the Sign-Up thread.)

[AJ Fawxe]

The doctor leaned over to the next screen and nudged the crewmen there. The mustelid had them cycle through the security cameras, watching Ray as he went. The doctor could tell he was worked up about something and didn't want any sudden alterations to the ship that might cause problems.


Fortunately, it didn't look like there was going to be any alterations to the ship they were riding aboard. Unfortunately, some old clunker appeared to be in their sights. "Who ever owns the scrap heap in the hangar, I think the raccoon wants to give it an upgrade."


Finding the intercom button the doctor fired of a quick message. "Attention all inquisitive metalheads. We would like to remind you that no work should be done that you have not been cleared to work on. If you are having difficulties with this directive, a strong sedative or heavy object is available for you back on the bridge." Leaning back from the screen the doctor shook his head. "I think I need to renegotiate my contract.."

[Rayleonarde]

Ray froze, as his tools whirred and the sawblade end of his staff ate into the floor. He hissed through his half-set of teeth. "This flesh-mender proves meddlesome indeed. Perhaps Her Convergent will allow me to pass judgment. Oh, how I would relish in delivering that." He turned away, gave the ship one last glance, and walked out.

[Lacar Lacrest]

Lacar ran over to the screen before bitting down on his cigar, the lit half falling to the floor before he quickly ran to the hangar "he better not touch my ship!" He heads down as fast as possible seeing Ray as he reaches the hanger entrance stopping to stare at him his metal arm releasing excess steam from the sudden use of energy.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray looked Lacar up and down. He simply stepped aside, and motioned for Lacar to approach his ship. He bowed slightly, eyes seemingly cast towards the floor. But one could see the mechanical raccoon was wound like a spring, figuring Lacar would attack him.

[Lacar Lacrest]

Lacar reaches forward grabbing Ray by his cloths "you wanna fix my ship?!" He yelled his mechanical fist clutched tightly around his cloths the question not being a retorical one as he shows his teeth.

[Tina]

Tic stayed focused on her tasks reading all the data she could, only slowing down to decrypt any files that were protected or classified if they came up. As she flipped through them she noticed that she still had the chips data of how her preformance went...but there was something else mixed in. It was a audio file simply labeled "Read Me Now!" and while tic knew she had work to be doing she couldn't help but give in to her curiosity and start playing it.


...


"Testing, testing 1, 2, 3 testing." It was clearly doctor Lysander who must have been fiddling with the audio... however his voice sounded weak and occasionally let out a fit of coughing which was not how Tic remembered him sounding.
"This should be good...ahem! Greetings Captain Trask, I know you and me have never met but it would seems you have taken someone precious to me... someone who I don't think...no who I know would bring me great pain if anything happened to her! You have in your possession someone who is not just some standard utility Droid, but in fact a living being. You see I have found a way to not only make a sentient machine...but to give said machine a soul." The doctor breaks out in fit of coughing and it takes a moment for him to regain control.
"In case your wondering, no I did not steal anyone's soul...I used a decent chunk of my own using a combination of biotics and technology. I have... already destroyed the machine so don't bother looking...but my point is if Tic core breaks she is not repairable, she will die just like the rest of us. I know I am not long for this world...but please...keep my creat...keep my daughter safe. She is not some robot to be tossed aside...she has a chance at life just like the rest of us."


End transmission.


...


Tic didn't know how to process this information...she sat there in silence wondering what to do with this knowledge. After a bit she hides the file deep in her memory core as well as erase all traces of it's existence on the data chip...for now no one should know.

[Alessia Starfurr]

The blue Vixen looked over to the android "Tic is something wrong?" She asked.

[Rayleonarde]

Ray, unused to physical combat, couldn't quite break away from Lacar's grasp. "Of course. The machine is in disrepair, it is wounded. It calls to me."

[Romulan_Furry]

Just as it seemed there was a fight on their hands between Lacar and Ray, a deep, throaty voice boomed, "HEY!!!" And the reason was plain to see - a fire team of Holographic Sangheili, all armed with the Type-55 Plasma Assault Rifles, approached the scene. "What the **** is going on here?!" the Senior NCO of the bunch demanded.

Trask had, indeed, heard the file when Tic played it, but for now, paid it no mind; he had other tasks to see to. He left Tic to her work while he focused on his crew, namely the helmsman as he piloted the ship into Slipspace, speeding off toward their next destination. Stepping closer to Krystal, he murmured to her, "You have heard of Tondam Corporation, right?"

[Alessia Starfurr]

"Was it one that tried to make another biological expierment?"

[Rylou]

Rylou looked at the hangar cameras, noticing the group of Sanghelli approach Ray and Lacar and let out an excited gasp before rushing down the elevators towards the hangars.

[Lacar Lacrest]

lacar looked at the sangheili and cleared his throat "nothing at all sir" lacar then proceeded to pull Ray closer to him"You dont touch my ship unless im around to see it" lacar lets go of ray and smoothes out his cloths for him "now lets get to work on her, but we fix her my way"

[Rylou]

Rylou arrives at the bottom of the elavator just in time to see the Sanghelli leave before he groans and kicks the floor softly before getting back in the elevator.
"I love the sound those guns make." he murmurs to himself.

[AJ Fawxe]

"I love this team dynamic we have here," the doctor spoke slowly, his voice dropping in sarcasm. Turning to the Admiral he sighed and crossed his arms over his chest. "It's a pity were supposed to be part of a stealth operation. A firefight would do wonders for the crews stress level. As it is, I can only hope that everyone has a good sense of who's friends and who's foe if weapons go hot."

[Tina]

Tic looks up from the computer, her eyes seeming to glitch for a brief moment as she tries to process this new emotion she was feeling.
"I'm...fine." Shes says flatly, turning back to the monitor and trying to continue working. However something inside her stirred and her best guess as to what it was is the fact that doctor was dying...and is probably passed by now. Lysander may have had issues interacting with other people, but those people never saw how he acted around Tic. He taught her, made sure she could get this job and above all he gave her life...the fact that he could be gone made her feel empty inside.
