Palla's mouth drops open in shock.
"How rude..." She turns to speak to Vale. "Well? What are we supposed to do?"

(How bout this:
The Pacifistic scientist andriods are once a peacful race of their own (They weren't andriods). But then the big, mean, pop-ups came, and enslaved them all. They modify them at birth, making them in to andriods so they can be controled. Also, this species is very very high-tech, witch is why the pop-ups enslaved them.
When we learn this from whoever we learn it from, we find out the pop-ups scheme... to enslave every race!! Which is what they are trying to do to the bugs right now-- that's why the bugs support the pop-ups, because they are being controled...)

(occ: and we're fighting to make sure that they never enslave the humanoid race, right?)

(Well, right now, we're fighting them simply because they are attacking us. No other reason, because we don't know anything about them. That was just my suggestion for a storyline...)

(occ: I think that's pretty cool. Maybe, if that story gets dried up, then we can see if there's another force behind the pop ups. Is there someone controlling them? And can I enter a plea for Katt to post?)

(ooc: Sounds good Cobra, I'll probably have Tassatul searchin some computers and figure this out during his escape)
The android answers Tassatul: 'The pop-ups own the entire android production line'
What!? The pop-ups have entire peoples under their control? For what purpose?
*Tassatul walks to the end of the hallway, leaving the android in the cell. At the end, he uses the emmiter to open the nearly invisible door. It slides away like water*

(ooc: well sorry i havent been posting, its not like you post all that often either...  but anyway that story line sounds pretty cool to me, i approve ;D) Vale: well i dont think the Captain would let any untrained pilot into one of our ships, espically if were not even sure what side they're on. that could cause alot of problems... but your ships are docked in the civilan docks, so you dont need an escort. if you guys need anything from the city, go for it, you can leave when your ready. if you need any help, you can call me... *Vale produces a small earpiece* with this. as long as your fighting as one of the Apocalypse fighters, i suggest you wear this. you'll get all the transmissions a squad leader would, like orders and status reports on your squad and stuff. oh, just so you know, you'll be fighting with the Gamma squadron, covering the southeastern part of the battle. have fun blasting bugs! |

*Cobra is in the military docks section. His ship is pretty much fixed, but the left wing is detached and being worked on somewhere else.*
"Hmm... it still might be a while..."

(ooc: Hey, sounds great, i approve also.  But remember, the bugs are mine, i still have to kill the queen. And where's Dan?) *After waiting five minutes, Top-Knot finally answers the comm-link*Dial-tone voice: *beep beep* *Your call is being anwered. We'll patch you through*BugHunter: "Bout time..." *The screen turns on and reveils Top-Knot who is on the other line. He looks a bit roughed up*Top-Knot: *kssh* "Hello? Sorry for the wait... Oh hey, whats up BugHunter? Haven't heard from you in awhile" BugHunter: "Hey Top-Knot. What took you so long to answer?" Top-Knot: "We were attacked by bugs..." BugHunter: (thinking to himself)  what? bugs?! could they have spread out so far and fast?  Top-Knot: (continuing) "We were just minding our own business when a warp gate opened up beside our HQ. They weren't tough though. Got a few new trophies on my wall, hehe. But we're getting reports from all over getting attacked by bugs and a couple of unknown ships that appear out of nowhere. Its beginning to be a real annoyance. You wouldn't know anything about it do you?" BugHunter: "Um..erm..." Top-Knot: "I wonder where these bugs came from. The only way they could have gotten out is if they were from a quarry for a hunt..." BugHunter: "um..hehe..." (sweat drop) Top-Knot: "I have here on record that there are only 2 groups out hunting bugs and u're name came up. The other group finished their hunt awhile ago too, so..." BugHunter: "Well sir...heh...its a funny story..." *BugHunter tells the story to Top-Knot and how a queen somehow got transported into the hunting grounds and the entrance of the pop-ups and the rest of our adventures*Top-Knot: "Its just as i thought. This is a real emergancy. I'll get the whole guild working on it. Wait..why didn't you contain this problem in the first place?"  BugHunter: "It was because i had to babysit the other guys that i was with. You know, the guys i told you about" Top-Knot: "Oh yea. It was all because of this Cobra's newbie army and the others complicating the mission?" BugHunter: "Yes. Oh, and can i get a pickup? We've been dealing with some rough stuff and got banged up bad" Top-Knot: "No problem. Where are you?" BugHunter: "I'm at the Starport Pub VII" Top-Knot: "Oh that place. Good drinks there eh?" BugHunter: "Yea.."  Top-Knot: "I'll get my men together. We'll be there shortly. Then we'll attack the source of this problem" BugHunter: "Yes sir!"  *kssh* (ooc: sorry for the long post, but i just had to get this down before i forget how its suppost to go...) |

(ooc:Hope you didnt tell Top-Knot it was Tassatul's fault, BugHunter. He'll have to set things straight if you did. ;D)
*Tassatul looks around the next room. It has a huge domed ceiling, and he appears to be on a ledge above the main floor. Scores of androids of all shapes and sizes roem about, stopping at computer terminals and typingfuriously before moving on to other business*
Wonder how I can get down?
*Without warning the small ledge jolts downward, and comes to a halt at ground level*
Telepathy? Or did I just indvertently cause the mechanism to start?
*Tassatul cautiosly walks over to the nearest terminal. An andriod walks up behind him*
'Excuse me, sir, are you authorized to be here?'
'Of course, I have direct permission from the pop-up Overlords' says Tassatul
'Well, let me direct you to a more suitable terminal. Come with me'
Remarkably gullible. Perhaps that is why the pop-ups have them under control. . .

(occ: I am laughing at the utter stupidity of the androids. But, if they're so stupid, why would the pop ups really want them?)
Palla accepts the earpiece from Vale and hooks it to her right ear.
”We are happy to accept the proposition you’ve given us. And, I’d like to thank you, for not killing me when I first met you and for not killing the three of us when we turned. Most others would have.” She turned to Jax and Sierra. ”Let’s go.” The trio walks away from Vale, and Palla wonders to herself: Where did that Cobra guy go?
Moments later they arrive in the civilian docks. Palla smiles up at Sierra’s Stallion.
”It seems like a long time since I’ve seen this ship, even though it has probably only been hours."
”You are really sentimental, aren’t you, Captain?” Jax smiled, glad to have the commander back. ”Anyway, we should get going. Once we’re clear of the Apocalypse, we should connect to Jonas. He beefed up the shields once we left. I think he was paranoid that this hunk of metal would attack us.”
”If it did attack my ship, there was nothing we would have been able to do. Even Sita’s work wouldn’t have helped. I didn’t see much while I was here, but their power is amazing and we would have been severely outnumbered,” Palla reprimanded her third.
Jax blinked in surprise. Wasn’t it Palla that had been so confident in her own skills when she had crept aboard this very vessel? Shaking his head, he got into the rear of the ship, booting up his section. ”You’re going to have to squeeze in up front with Sierra till we get back to the ship. This is only a two man fighter, after all.”
Sierra smiled. ”It’s good to have you back, Chief.”
Palla returned the gesture. ”I’m glad you guys came to get me. I was kind of worried about what would happen to me here. Of course, Cobra really did help me out. I suppose I should be grateful for that.”
Sierra cocked her head to the side. Something was just a tad confusing, but she decided to shrug it off. As she climbed into the cockpit, she motioned to her captain. ”You wanna take the reigns on this flight?”
As Palla follows suit and settles into her seat, she nods. There is nothing she enjoys more than flying a ship; well, maybe running around in wolf form, but other than that.
”Engines booting up, communications set…we’re ready to go when you are, Okami.” Palla glared at the man over her shoulder. ”Er, I mean, um, Palla?” Palla nodded, then returned her attention to the controls.
"Let's blow this Popsicle stand." Palla maneuvers the ship into reverse and the ship reaches the exterior.
”Radar shows that there’s a lot of bugs out here. Luckily enough, there aren’t any on our path to Time’s Fabric.”
”Let’s head on home, then.”
Several minutes go by, and once Palla glances back. Sheesh, this feels weird, she thinks to herself. Shaking the feeling away, she pilots the small ship over to her own vessel.
”Ship approaching, please identify yourself.
”Jonas, this is your captain speaking. This is Sierra, Jax, and I on the Sierra’s Stallion, saying: let your damn leader on her ship now!” Palla said into communications with a giggle.
”It’s good to hear from you, Chief.”
”Can we please dock and then have the emotional reunion?”
Palla moves to fly onto the docking bay, but is rocked by an explosion in the rear of the ship.
”What the hell was that?” she screeched, trying to turn around.
”Shit. The bugs have followed us and are attacking.”
”Damn it,” Palla swore. ”I’m gonna land this sucker and then we’ll have more of a chance than if we just confront the enemy head on.”

(ooc: hmm, Heather writes like as if she were writing a novel. I kinda write as if i were writing a play)
(ooc: By the way, Heather, u're doing the same mistake as Dan did where you keep adding long boring details which make me feel like going to sleep and not read your post. And stop creating more names, human or ship, i can't follow that many characters. It gets confusing)

(occ: normally I would get really angry and yell at you, but I'm going to try to calm down enough to respond rationally. This is my style of RPGing, so it's just too bad if you don't like it. I think my style is fine and it works, and the length of my post shouldn't matter. Though you apologized for your long post, it doesn't matter about long or short. If you wrote a long post, then so can I.)

but anyway that story line sounds pretty cool to me, i approve ;D)

what? bugs?! could they have spread out so far and fast?
