Rann Viann, Research Station 413

Rann heard a loud beep from his room, so he ran in and checked the computer. His teacher had replied to his message. It read:

Hello Rann,

I have the test prepared for you, come at your own leisure.

Rann read it and knew what it really meant; come now or forever hold your peace. Rann grabbed his handheld computer and rushed out the door.

"Bye Sis, gotta take a test." He laughed as he was leaving; this time he actually was!

He got there after a long run through the station, and Mrs. Smith was sitting at her desk waiting for him with a smile. "So you want to graduate?" she asked with a smug smile on her face. "You could have done that from the beginning, rather than quitting, you know."

"My sister got close to finding out." Rann replied, taking a seat.

Mrs. Smith laughed. "I figured that you forged that cyber code, but you're too good for me to have any evidence."

"I left it unencrypted." he answered, already staring off into space (literally) oout the window.

"Rann! Focus!" Mrs. Smith said with a light slp to the side of his head.

"Oh, right. I'm ready to take the test now." he said, stratching his fingers.

"One moment." Mrs. Smith said, plugging his datapad into the school's and loading the test onto Rann's while also making every other program on the boy's inaccesible until the test waas finished or terminated.

Rann sat for an hour, solving math problems, answering questions about history, and science. Luckily for him, it was more science and math oriented.

He stood up and handed the computer to Mrs. Smith who then put Rann's answers into her datapad and within moments had it graded.

"Amazing." she said, mouth gaping.

"What'd I get?" he asked, trying to get a glance over her shoulder.

"590."

"Out of...?"

"600."

"Thank you." Rann said happily, taking the disc that contained his scores, and proved he had taken the test. Rann had a certain spring in his step; he had finally proven that he didn't need to go to school. Wait until Satyana found out!

Kildor, I forget

Kildor accepted the datapad from V'rinji and plugged it in to the armory's central computer system. There was a loud *whoosh* sound as all of the items needed were transported through a series of tubes, eventually landing neatly in a pile on the shelf beside them.

"This should be all." he said, "Assign them to your team as necessary, I have to get some things of my own and prep the ship." He explained.

Ral'Ness Gren, His Palace, Ryk

"One moment." he said to the Ryki spy that entered his chambers unannounced; if he wasn't one of his top spies, he would have been killed for his insolence about a dozen times by now. But he was, so the Emperor let the small things slide where he normally wouldn't.

As he dismissed his guests, he waved the spy back into the room. "Hmm...I've had reent reports from your comrades that the humans are researching methods to create their own form of Rithum; this can't be allowed. Find the people currently working on it and eliminate them and all traces of their research."

"As usual, take what you need from the armory." he said, referring to his guard Gild's armory. Gild was an enormous Kran who was father to the troublesome Blood named Kildor.

Mark -- Space

"What? What's a beaut?" Mark asked as he scanned the space with his eyes. He looked down at his radar, saw the ship, and brought up the camera feed, "Wow. So is that the uh 'Wildcat'? Never seen anything like it..."

The squad approached the ship in formation until they were positioned along side of it. Mark took the liberty of introducing themselves. He opened a comlink with the ship and cleared his throat, a bit unsure of what to say, "Good morning, Wildcats," he said almost sarcastically, "This is the 501st Heavy Attack Squadron. Speaking is First Lt. FireStarter. Do you copy?"

(a bit confoosed, is it one ship or multiple?)

Edward

"It not a crystal. At least not completely." Edward said as he looked at the diagram in front of him. Instead of showing a crystal lattice, a cell unit the epeated itself continuosyly, there was an assymetric arragenement of the atoms. He began to lok for similarities and could see several cell unites spread around like a mosaic.

"This doens't make any sense, under no normal circumstance would this formation take place." as the synthetic rithum showed, there was a more stable structure. Edward stood there looked over what looked like a giant blue print of thousands and thousands of atoms, when Dr. Trepe stepped into the room.

"edward you really should tkae a break, everytime I'm in here you are too. What have you managed to find out about rithum?" she said as she approached the tab;e and looked over Edwards shoulder.

Edwards glanced up to look at his proffessor,

"nothing of importance yet, other than I have realized it is not a crystal, it has cyrstalline elements which I am sure are what gives the rithum it's shape, but the rest is symmetrical. the periphery atoms are what intrigue me. Over on that counter is a synthetic crystal I have synthesized, though it is by far inferior to the natural substance. If I may proffessor can I obtain more rithum, of a different colour?"

The proffesor looked over His work,

"Impressive, due to the equal percentages and structre, scientists assume it's a crystal. This is ery interesting work. I am extremely surprised you have managed to obtain this information already with only 3 days of work. I will get the samples you want,"

"It was mostly a bunch of guesses

Ezhu->Capital

Ezhu bowed and went out another door, the door tward Gild's armory. He looked around the room at the cabnets but didn't take much. Mostly becasue he already had his paralyzing gun and nail add-ons, but he did take a laser pistol, rithrum dagger (for irony) and some rations, just in case he had to stay longer.

Ezhu left to his hopper and spead off tward the Human resaerch lab on that one planet, couldn't rememebr the HUman name for it but knew it well and it would be a big safe to crack.

Wes Hansek
Neptunian balck Market

Wes Hansek stepped into Grubbah's Hall accompanied by Legg and Chev. The Crimelord's guards accompanied them in.

"Pirate, why couldn't you deal with one of the traders?" Grubbuh asked.

"Don't play me like a fool Grub, you had them hamster cave plotted out, you knew about my compassion," Wes Hansek said.

"I should have to killed for suggesting I alter the market, they charge you what your merchandise is worth," Grubbuh said.

"Yes hamster off. You think I'm going to sit here and buy that compassion? Don't hamster cave blow your fart in my face like that. You knew I wouldn't pay those prices. Not only that, you expected me. I can tell because you have your hamster cave girls in the backroom so I won't take hostages. You hamster cave cleaned this room, too. Yeah, yeah don't think I didn't know."

"You insolent kid. You don't know how anything works do you? People like you don't last in this market."

"Yeah well I plan to change this hamster cave market and kill you someday. Maybe the fact that I didn't kiss your boat concerns you. Yeah Grub? I'll tell you what, we're cutting the great compassion out of this right now. I want 380b for it, you got that? Upfront."

Grubbuh chuckled. "I wouldn't pay you a tenth."

"Then you ain't getting the Bacteria, Good day," Wes Hansek turned to leave.

"I always like to handle these things peacefully at first, but kids like you don't listen, and that's why we don't see many like you," Grubbuh laughed.

"You have the Mine?" Wes whispered to Chev as they walked out.

"Yeah," Cjev answered.

"Close the door behind us, plant it on the inside of the handle. Give it thirty seconds."

They left the Black Market and headed to their docks. The ourposely picked a spot closest to the gate. Wes Hansek picked up his Communicator. "Lebbon, start up the engines, Marx, heat up the missiles. We may have to leave a few presents."

Seconds later he heard a large bang from the Hall find him, and the three of them started to run. Persuers ran through the door after them, shooting. The ducked and weaved through parked vessels, scrambling into their ship.

V'Rinji, Equipment Room, Blood Base

V'Rinji turned to his squad, who were all sitting around, waiting for orders. "You know what equipment you're using. Get it.", V'Rinji said, and proceeded to get his own. He wore a body armor covering most of his upperbody, and somewhat, most of his legs. The armor could reflect a few bullets, and maybe some plasma. But it was light, and easy to move in, something V'Rinji liked. He strapped on the body armor and put his two guns, sniper rifle, and rithium knife into his holster.

(lol replying to myself)

Open Space

"Good Morning, FireStarter," someone replied in the same sarcastic tone Mark used, "Let's get this over with shall we?" An audible click could be heard over the headset signalling that they had closed the link.

"Oh, don't bother introducing yourselves," Mark said to Juac concerning the Wildcats.

The 501st and the Wildcats moved through space for some time....

Kratos
See quote for Location
"Sounds good to me" sadi Kratos, grinning. He grabbed a rithlum combat knife from a nearby weapons locker, and sheathed it at his hip. "Well, what say we go kick some Rykar butt?"

Veda
Io, Moon of Jupiter - TAG First Encounter Defense Quarters - Hangar

Veda just smiled to Kratos as he walked up to Raptor and before leaping into the cockpit.

"Everything clear!?" Veda yelled out to the technicians clearing his ship before giving him a thumbs up.

"Lets do this!" Veda said to Kratos as he went into the weapon operative seat, right behind Veda...

Kratos
See Quote
"So, what have you been up to these past few years since that raid? I haven't heard much from you"

Edward

Edward printed of the scans onto 3'x5' xray sheets, so that he could analyze them. He took a sample of the synthetic rithum and scanned it to. unlike the natural rithum, the synthetic crystal was infact crystal. the entire make up was from a glance clearly symmetricalk and repetitive. He began to mark the natural rithum panel identifying like structures. He had a hunch that the assymetric elements between teh crystal structures held the secret to rithum, but eh ahd to compare the other samples first. and they weren't due until two days.

Glancing at his watch Edward noticed he ahd been analyzing the structure for nearly 4 hours. the film was covered in different colours circles and writing scribbled all over it. see ing as how he promised to look at the generator Edward pakced up the lab, lcoking the rithum data and samples away.

He put on his bag and picked up his books, then ehaded for the physics lab. He arrived to an empty lab with a field generator on a table, as well as tools already layed out for dismantling the generator. edward smiled,

"Dr. Ward sure knows what I had in mind."

He sat down in front of the generator and began dismantling it.

Veda
Io, Moon of Jupter - TAG First Encounter Defense Quarters - Hangar

"Very little actually. I've tried to get in contact with my sister but no use so far. Have worked hard building up TAG for the last years..." Veda said as he started up the engines and checked the control panel ready for taking off taking lead of the TAG Assault Crafts...

Veda lowered his head for a little moment after all was clear.

"I... I got some contact with my sister a few months ago, she was going to visit me while I was on the Cybernetic's Research Center orbiting around the Moon. She had been studing very close to the border to the Rykar Empire and as I got ready to meet her I heard that a Rykar Destroyer had engaged on their ship. Didn't hear anything more... Fear the worst..." Veda said with a low voice, before shaking his head violiently. He knew this wasn't the condition he could be in while facing the Rykar.

"Here we go..." Veda said before lifting the Raptor up and flying fast and acrobaticly out of the Hanger before setting in the curse against Io. The TAG Assault Crafts holding their distance but following.

Kratos
"I'm sorry to hear that Veda. I know how much she meant to you. But we'll pay back the motherless dogs for every human they've killed since the start of this war, I prmoise you that"

Veda
Route against Pluto - 3rd HDS

Veda only nodded to Kratos' reply as he sat up speed against Pluto. He hadn't used 'Raptor' so many times. But it handled good and as they flew against Pluto, dodging space-centers and astrodies.

"We'll be there soon" Veda said as he looked down at the panel, the instrument showing his route and location, "I'm pretty sure that the Rykar will be inside the Defense Quarters, but if I'm wrong you know what to do. I've done some modifing on the 'Scythe' and changed the bullets on it" Veda continued, he was sure that the Rykar was smart enough to stick their butts inside the quarters but if they would have any defense or soldiers outside Kratos, as the weapon operative use the 'Scythe' as it was called...

Kratos
"Preparing to launch the Scythe, notify me when we're within effective range" Kratos said, tapping a few buttons on the glowing console in front of him

Veda
Near unsafe perimeter outside Pluto - 3rd HDS

Veda sat in high speed as they neared the now, unsafe perimeter around Pluto's 3rd HDS. He clicked a few buttons doing a thermal scan of the perimeter.

"One Rykar Heavy Anti-Spacecraft vehicle outside the north entrance. Ready one Tactical Missile, lock-on in twenty seconds!" Veda said.

He manouvered the 'Raptor' setting up speed heading straight for the Rykar's Anti-Spacecraft Tank. Setting in a spin as they neared range for the missile. They where still several miles away but the long range of the thermal scan and the Tactical Missiles had both very long range.

"Incoming!" Veda cried out as the radar picked up four ground-to-air Anti-Fighter missiles coming straight against them.

Veda sat in full speed going in a fast spin. The Rykar's war technology was highly advanced and their missiles was almost impossible to get away from. Only a good pilot or a craft fitted with Anti-Missile rockets could take their missiles out. Veda sat in a spin before diving straight down through Pluto's atmosphere dodging the missiles, but nearly getting hit.

"Open fire Kratos!" Veda yelled out as they where within range.

Kratos
"Firing!" Kratos locked on and fired a tactical missile at the Rykar ship, and launched the Scythe missile. A deep rumble echoed through the ship as it launched towards the base. He locked several anti-missiles onto the incoming Rykar warheads and launched, then prepared another volley should the first ones miss

Veda
Unsafe perimeter of Pluto - 3rd HDS

Kratos missiles went straight for the Rykar Anti-Spacecraft giving a hugh blow to its left flank. The crew of the Rykar ship bailed out and started retreating against the north entrance, soon to meet the 'Scythe'. The 'Scythe' unsleashed its furry of bullets against the Rykar crew blowing the soldiers in pieces spread all over the entrance before the 'Scythe' locked onto the Rykar Anti-Spacecraft Ship and went in for a hit blowing the ship up, sending debris from the craft before it crashed into the Pluto surface sending the small intact parts up in flames.

"Nice!" Veda said with a big smile as he flew over the north entrance going for a fast stop, hovering over the north entrance.

He launched a Data Bot as they where called. Looked like a small metal sphere with several cameras that started hovering around the north entrance clearing the perimeter as Veda took the Raptor down for landing around a hundred feet from the entrance before leaping out with his weapon in hand.

Kratos
Kratos leapt out of the ship after Veda, his rifle at his shoulder. He quickly scanned the area with the thermal imaging in his cybernetic eye and deteced nothing. "Area seems clear, but be on the lookout for a sortie from the base" he said to Veda, slowly advancing towards the main entrance

Satyana, station 413

"We are prepared, we bid you welcome"

As Satyana was communicating with the inspectors she just about noticed that Rann was almost flying out the door sayinfg something about a test.....very well thast boy was probaly too clever for his own good....he´ll sone be back telling how well he made on the test....he usually did..even though his presence at school was really low...


She heard the noice of people coming and quickly combed her hair and headed towards the gate
