(ooc: i dont mean to re-open a festering wound or anything, but long posts do get a little tedious after a while. now and then its ok, but i really dont like to stare at computer screens for too long. hurts my little brain. i mean i cant say im not guilty of it, but i try to leave out minute details. i guess it does give more character, but this is a role playing thread, not a novel. i dont mean to be offensive or anything, palla, but sometimes i just skim through your posts, reading only whats it quotes or asteriks (sp?). i mean, writing is your thing, if you like writing big, go for it, im not stopping you, but im just saying i dont read all of it sometimes. but other people do, so its not in vain, dont worry! ;D) Amen sister! My point exactly! See, im not alone in my views.  You guys can do whatever you want with the pop-ups. Though im not exactly sure of whats going on in that front, im sure Tassatul will make me understand some time soon. But the Queen is still mine |

A loud scrambling is heard as pilots awaken from their slumber and tumble out of bed, getting dressed instantly in battle attire.
"This is your captain speaking. An enemy has attacked this ship and that of our new allies. These enemies are highly dangerous, but somewhat incompetent. Do not underestimate them, but do not be intimidated! I have the assurances of the commander of the Apocalypse that if we terminate thirty or more bugs, then all of us shall have citizen rights aboard the Apocalypse!"
Cheers can be heard coming from the hangars where the pilots are ready for deployment.
"Be brave my fighters, men and women alike! We shall aid our friends and defeat the enemy! Now, deploy!"
Loud grating sounds emit from the hangar doors as they lower. In total, one hundred twenty-five fighters lift up and fly out. The lead ship, Fury Fire, flies in the direction of the Apocalypse.
"Sita, Fury Fire, commander online. Check it."
All the pilots check in with their I.D.'s and ship names. Confirming the entire fleet is is order, Sita begins the attack.
"Be in the lookout. The bugs were out here and probably still are. If you see any, shoot to kill."
As the words leave her mouth, an explosion is heard from behind.
"Sita, we're under fire!"
Sita glanced at her controls and saw on the radar screen that the bugs had appeared around several of the rear ships.
"Protect them as well as you can, but press on. We can not forget the mission!"
The Time's Fabric, finally closed and on the move, flies up and over the fighters. Palla's voice tunes in to Sita's communications.
"You did fix the weapons didn't you? I needed those plasma cannons."
"I repaired the primaries, but the backup is shot."
Palla, sitting in the main hall of the ship, swore under her breath. The plasma cannons were their main weapons, aside from the laser cannons. If thsoe were taken out, they would be in trouble.
"I've got to remember to check the weapons before we fight!" She turned around and shouted, "Isaac!"
An explosion sounds from a room down the corridor. Blinking, Palla is momentarily confused until the slight smoke clears and a young boy, sixteen years in age at most, walked in, coughing and waving his hand about.
"What the hell was that?"
The boy grinned sheepishly, as if to say "I don't know".
"You know what, I don't care. Do you have any weaopns instorage that could help us?"
Before Isaac can answer, another man, this one blonde haired and violet eyed, runs in.
"Palla, the ships need our help, now!" Jonas stressed, glaring at Isaac with disdain.
"Isaac, can you help us or not?"

An enemy has attacked this ship and that of our new allies. These enemies are highly dangerous, but somewhat incompetent. Do not underestimate them, but do not be intimidated! (ooc:hate to break it to you Palla, but the pop-ups arent incompetent. Just the android slaves are a bit gullible. And Cobra, Tanj is from Ringworld by Larry Niven. Great book, recommened read. Tanj stands for 'there aint no justice') *Tassatul exits the terminal room, with a shocked look on his face*I've got to tell the others. Its so simple! So obvious! But for now, to the weapons facility to reclaim my own.
*He makes his way down the fluid hallway 45 paces to the armory. Tassatul then goes to the section labeled 'Conficscated Weapons'*'Ahhh, yes. Good old warp blades, acid spitters, lightning rifle.' says Tassatul, reaquipping himself. 'Alright! my shield generator!' Now to find a ship and escape from this compound! |

(ooc: I see you're writing has improved, Palla, but who the heck is talking in your post? And dont expect me to memorize the color schemes for each of your characters. 125 fighters? Is that realistic? Carriers dont even have that many. Thats more like the size of a whole fleet, that is, if you have a fleet, kinda like Will's newbie army from way back... The bugs are not incompetent either. They may be animals, but they attack you with terrifying instinct in mass numbers and they can be somewhat organized. And please give us some background info before you get into the heavy details like who the hell is Isaac and where the hell is your position and situation because sometimes i might forget)

(ooc: what? wait a minute... you have a whole fleet of fighters? i thought you were just a rag tag group of smugglers, like 15 or so people... and isnt the Time Fabric a medium class ship? thats like a corvette, like the Cowboy Bebop, thay can usually only hold about three fighters, not 100... to be able to launch that many ships you have to be a capitol class or something...  . when Vale told you to shoot down 30 bugs, i thought there would only be 2-3 ships fighting, not a whole fleet) |

(occ: thank you, Bug Hunter. Um, we're less than a mile away from Cass's ship. And this is a frigate ship, which Cobra knew. He's the one that told me it was that kind of ship to begin with after he saw the mods I had for it.)

(ooc: Did you read our whole posts? Be sure to address all subjects that we bring up cus it looks like you didn't read in detail.
Even if it is a frigate ship, they SHOULD NOT be able to carry 125 fighters! That is way off. And Katt's right, you shouldn't even have a fleet at all. A band of smugglers is just that, a band of smugglers, not an army.)

They're mini-fighters. Like, not even full fledged craft, more like battle-pods. Each has a machine gun and a misslelauncher if I remeber corectly, right?
And PALLA is a smuggler, but she isn't a little gorup of smugglers. She dosn't have a fleet, but she does have a somewhat large crew...

(I only call them a fleet cause there are a lot of them. and my crew does have a bunch of smugglers, but not all of them are.)
