(This post is long, it's just cobra thinking to himself about everything that's been going on, you know, giving some of his personality and backstory. You don't have to read it if you don't want to. In the end all that really happens is cobra boards a shuttle headed for the Time's Fabric, so if that's all you wantyed to know, don't bother reading the rest. It has no REAL relation to the RPG anyway ;D)
Cobra, to Katt:"Eh... oh well. It was getting boring here anyhow" *Cobra says as if it were an insult*
a few minutes later...
*He is walking towards the starport, where a ferry will be waiting. Cobra takes his time, thinking to himself as he walks through the small town.*
"So what exactly am I doing? Looking for bugs? Live ones? That's nuts. I think I'll just drag a few dead carcasses up and say I misunderstood... Yeah, Katt'll like that. Serves her for putting me on more babysitting duty..."
"Oh wait... she didn't asign me to this, did she? Palla asked for my escort specifically. I wonder what's up with that? If I asked her I probably wouldn't get a straight answer, so who cares. That girl dosn't say anything straight out..."
*Cobra turns a corner and bumps in to a large protoss man. He apologizes and goes on his way*
"Hmm... that Tassatul guy ain't so bad. I didn't think the zerg could infest protoss... I'll have to ask him about that some day. That, and how he eats... I wonder what Protoss music sounds like..."
*Cobra's mind drifts from topic to topic, thinking about the Kaiou-tur and the Protoss, then about other aliens. then about Kal.
"Kal seemed pretty cool, I guess. Wings are cool. He was kinda' cocky though. I liked his sword..."
*cobra winces in pain* "Man, I hope that guy comes back. I need him to fix my sword... my sword..."
*Cobra is filled with memories of the past... Of his Scizophrenia, of Master K, of the sword he got from him. Of his unusual condition... of his broken family, of his complicated, aranged birth- and the sick people who aranged it- of the murderer who used to chase him. His brother, his dead father, his two moms. All of the difernet places he lived... Cities, backwater towns, fringe worlds, home worlds... and the Chronoshifter... his friends on board. And his new friends... Tassatul, Kal, and Palla...
"I wonder whats' up with Palla? Why is she like that, all secretive. People are trying to kill me all the time, and I have no trouble trusting people... I mean, hey, we even spared her life... Hm... I wonder where Kal is now. And Bug Hunter! Where the hell is he? Did he just skip out on us? No, he wouldn't leave such a good fight. Besides, that guy feels he needs to save us, anyways. And I don't think it's because he cares for us..."
*Cobra sighs. He can see the starport from here, but he's still a bit off.*
"Katt's still Katt. At least one thing hasn't gone all crazy. Oh well... crazy is how I like it."
*Cobra smiles to himself* "What's her deal? Why's she always gotta mess with me like this?... oh, 'cause I always mess with her."
"Oh well. whatever... I have a long boring assignment ahead of me, it seems. Maybe I'll be able to find out why Palla asked for me personally. And maybe I can 'cause some trouble...heh..."
*Cobra is already through security and the Lobby, and is walking into the transport. Everyone know him, so he dosn't get much trouble.*
*He sees the group of armored soldiers loading up their gear*
"This may be fun after all..."

*Cobra suddendly hears a voice. The voice is low and far away, but somehow familiar.
"Cobra...."
It is weak, but was once powerful. The trace of holding on to a life is hard to miss in a voice...even when its a telepathic message.
"You know me....I am Kal.....you cannot save me now.....but I must ask you a favor before....before I die....."
There is a lapse in the connection and cobra can feel it. The connection suddenely stregnthens, and with it comes a massive headache.
"MY time is short....we will meet again.....the favor I ask will not be easy and...you and your friends may die....but you must kill me...YOU MUST!!"
Cobra is confused. He cannot reply....
"In return...there is another.....seek out Sanyinroubskil....Show him.....he can fix many problems....."
The connection is severed. Cobra's head is throbbing......

(ooc: haha, lol!)
*Tassatul lands the pop-up fighter in the Leviathan's docking bay, just as a group of old war buddies surrounds the ship*
'Hey Tass! How ya been?' 'I see youve captured a ship' 'Nice, man. Always being the hero' 'Right? He gets captured, and manages to steal a ship. The pop-ups did us a favor!'
*Tassatul, burdened by his newly aquired information, pushes through the crowd and makes his way to the tube lift, transporting him to the main bridge*
*Upon arriving, Krath greets the warrior's way, both gripping the other's wrists*
'It is good to see you, Tassatul.' says Krath brightly. 'It is not so good for myself' answers Tassatul darkly. 'What is it?' asks Krath. 'I cannot tell you here. Please, if you would, send a transmission to the Apocalypse. I need to speak with Cobra, Katt, and any others they deem trustworthy. Also, send word to BugHunter. He needs to hear this also.' 'Right away sir', Krath answers with a odd looks on his face.
What's up with Tassatul?
(ooc: Im planning to unveil the pop-ups weakness, but its very shocking and important, so id like everybody there in person)

(ooc- Palla...where is my character? Sirus? just give me an overview) (occ: basically, not much has been done with Sirus. He just made an appearance when I asked for some weapon upgrades and he just questioned my orders about asking Cobra to accompany us planet side.) "Thank you, Katt. And don't worry; we'll return your man in one piece."Laughing quietly to herself, Palla walks down the corridor that leads to the docking bay. Back in the main area, Jonas is speaking to Sita. "What exactly is going on here? She willingly invited the enemy, friend, whatever, aboard our ship. That practically tells them it's okay to sabotage us."Sita shook her head. "Our captain is a strange one. I don't know why she does anything she does."A door slides open and Jax walks in with Sierra tailing behind him. "Hey, what's up guys?"Jonas and Sita just stare at the pair. "Where have you two been?"(occ: to be continued...)

(ooc: his full name is Isiac Sirus (last name unknown as of now) so his alias will be Sirus. Thats all. O, heather, I would like to use him now.) *Sirus is working in his lab on Palla's ship. He is a little excited becuase he just got his brand new weapon fully operational. He just makes a few more adustments... "And.....there! Yes! Now for a test run...um..." *Sirus looks around for a target, cant see anything, so his raises the rather small pistol and aims at a small coffee cup on the table. thewwwwwwwwwwthtwhwwwwwwthththhwwwwwwww The small pistol fires a bright blue concentrated beam at the coffee cup and burns a neat little hole right through it. "All Right!!" sirus yells in joy!! placing the pistol back on the table and turning to get the forearm attachment that the small pistol was meant for. He clicks in the gun, and then inhales in anticipation. "Here we go...." He raises the mechanism that looks like three metalic blades directly above his forarm. Two of them are in a "V" shape flat on his forearm and the other is in an "l" shape a little raised from the "v" metal. It is no more than one foot long. He activates it. THEWWWWWWTHWWWWWWWHWWWWWTWWWWWW The blue beam is emitted once again, but this time it is huge. The beam is about 4 feet long and as thick as a baseball bat. It lasts however for only a second and a half, then it shuts off. "ALL RIGHT!! PERFECT!! WOO HOO!! Sirus, youve done it again!! Moonlight model-P is complete! It aint no trans-dimentional blade, but it might be better! HAHAAAA!" Sirus runs out of the room to show the first person he sees his great new invention.

"Where have you two been?"(occ: to be continued...) Jax glares at Jonas. "We were out in that back part of ships that got attacked. Where were you when we needed your help?"Before a fight can break out, a loud beep begins repeating over the loud speakers. "Incoming transport vessel. Scanning for enemy life forms now."Sita stepped between the men. "We don't exactly have the time to argue now. Cobra's almost here and we have to meet the captain down in the bay."Jax and Jonas continue to stare vehemently at each other as the women escort them out of the room. The soldier at the panal turns around. "Hey; where did everybody go?"

*The shuttle slowly enters the hanger, and touchs down lightly. The doors open, and about 12 soldiers, one of whom is obviosly the comander, step down the ramp and in to the hanger where Palla's crew awaits. Everthing becoms quite with an air of tension... nither side trusts eachother, and eahc is waiting for the other to make the first advance at conversation. A few seconds later, cobra starts to come down, but trips and slides down the ramp. There's a very loud Bang!, then a serious of rattle, and a large Thump!, all of which echo throughout the entire hanger. Some of the soldiers shift uneasily...*
*Cobra gets up, rubbing his head*
Cobra: "Ow...crap..."
*Cobra, rubbing his shoulder, walks up to the soldiers and insesitivly breaks the ice*
Cobra: "So, whats up? And why am I even here? I heard Palla requested me specifically"
*The comander of the Apocolypse soldiers trys to hold down his temper, reminding himself that Cobra is non-military...*

Palla's soldiers look at each other, wondering why their commander would request the aid of someone who seems...less than qualified.
"Who is this guy?" one of the soldiers asks his comrade.
"I have no idea," the girl replies. "What help is he going to be? I mean, he can't even walk down the ramp without tripping and making himself look like a complete moron!"
"I think the captain requested his aid because she knows his skills are more than they appear. Plus, he had more knowledge of the planet than any of us."
The two soldiers turn around and eep when they see Palla standing right behind them.
"Captain, we..."
"Save it." Palla walked around the two and up to Cobra, ignoring the movements of Katt's soldiers to their weapon. "Cobra, I thank you for coming along with us. I know you believe this to be a 'babysitting' job, but I assure you we only need your knowledge of the planet's surface. Is this in anyway unclear to you?"
Cobra opens his mouth to speak, but is cut off.
"I am the commander of this ship and while you are on it and while you are working with us, I expect you to treat me and my crew with respect. They well know how people react to their 'unique' situations." Palla waved a hand over her shoulder at the assembly. "Several of them are like Sierra, Jax, and myself. Warn your men."
Turning to face the crew, Palla motions for them to go to the transports.
"Cobra, you can come with me."

*the captain of the small unit steps forward*
Capt: Well, ma'am, you seem to forget that you are the one working for the Apocaylpse II as of right now, along with the rest of us. your doing this as just another soldier in the force as payback for what you did. you should be grateful too, its strange that the commander gave you a second chance. most other stowaways are just cast off the ship and banned from ever docking again. So lets just get this over with, ok?

*Cobra is staring blankly at Palla through most of her speach. After she's done, He snaps back to attention.*
Cobra: "What? Oh. Yeah. Got it. Respect and... something... When do we start, again?"
*Katt's soldiers speaks. the air of tension again fills the room*
Cobra: "Blah, blah, blah. Too much talking. Where's our ride down? Excuse me..."
*Cobra pushes his way right through a crowd of palla's troopers, showing no manners or cares whatsoever. One of the soldiers yells "Hey!".
*He comes out the other side and starts looking around the hanger.*
Cobra: "So, wait... why are we here again?"

*In the Leviathan's docking bay, Agrithno and a crew of technitions look over the pop-up fighter*
[glow=red,2,300]This is amazing! These pop-ups are years ahead of us in some aspects, yet so far behind in others. . .[/glow] says Agrithno.
'Yah, why would they use Quantum 3 Engines? Q-4s are so much more efficient, and widely known across the galaxy.' says a tech.
'But look at this shielding! I've never seen anything like it! So smooth, yet not a mark on it. . .'
*The tech picks up a phase-beam tool and fires it at the ship. The orange beam hits the metal and suddenly the whole ship lights up*
'Wow! Energy displacement throughout the whole ship! You'd have to destroy every bit of shielding to get to the inside!'
'What?' says another tech, 'They didn't have this at the last battle. It'd have been a lot harder to beat them if they did.'
[glow=red,2,300]'Perhaps this is a prototype, meant to surprize us in the next attack'[/glow] suggest Agrithno.
'I dunno. Its really cool though. Lets find out how it works!'

Palla glared at the commander, but bit her tongue so as not to insult anyone.
"Fine," she said through gritted teeth. She pointed to the transports. "Let's go."
Who do these people think they are? And who is Cobra, ignoring me like that? Palla was so close to losing her temper, the air around her fairly hummed with anger and agitation.
"This isn't good...she's pissed...what the..." whispered the soldiers as they filed after their commander, keeping a close eye on the people behind them. They trusted them a lot less than their commander did.
