Rann and Syke Viann, Research Space Station, in orbit around Mars

Rann stood by his workbench, creating some unkown object that might make it to the coveted spot in his 'used' pile, meaning that someday, he just may find a use for the invention. But more than likely, this, as over half of his other creations, will go into the scrap pile to be made into something else.

"What are you doing?" Syke asked Rann, coming to a halt beside his younger brother. He picked up a black metal object and inspected it. "What is this?"

Rann slapped his broter's hand without looking up from his work. "No touching!" he scolded, accepting the object back from Syke and putting it back down; still not looking up.

"What are you making?" Syke asked again, more insistently.

"Nothing." Rann answered as he put on a proctective mask, not to protect his eyes, because they couldn't be hurt, but just his face in general. He began welding two pieces of the black metal together, drowning out any conversation for the next minute or two.

Syke was getting extremely frustrated with his brother. "What are you making?" he asked through gritted teeth.

"It's for the ship." he answered, holding up the finished product. It was black and sleek, obviously to match the metal interior of the engine room of their ship.

"What does it do?" he asked. The object had a series of pipes protruding from a box, which had a pump inside. He scratched his head, utterly confused.

"Look." Rann said, pointing to the pipe on the top. "Here is where our engine coolant is going to go; because it leaks anyway. Anyways, it goes down through this box, where it's pumped back out into the main hold where it belongs."

"Why didn't you just patch the leak?"

Rann blinked a few times; Syke couldn't tell if he was turning on the record option or the zoom. "Because that isn't as fun, and it wouldn't allow us to do this." he replied, pointing to a smaller pipe that Syke hadn't noticed before. He turned a valve on the end and smiled. "It will also make the coolant drinkable; I put in a series of filters and lined the inside with some toxin-neutralizing chemicals."

"That's useless." Syke said with a scowl.

"We'll see how useless it is when we get stuck in space with no water." Rann answered as he pushed by his brother with the invention in hand; all that was left was installation.

Syke sighed and followed.

When the installation was complete, and Rann had a sip of coolant, they went into the Research Area to look for their sister.

V'Rinji Gorac - Blood Homebase

"The usual.", V'Rinji said as he walked into the bar. It was as rather large room, with larger sitting places by the walls, and smaller tables spread out around. Everything was mostly metal alloy of some sort, except for the chairs and sofas. V'Rinji sat down by the bar counter and took his drink. He sipped on it a little bit, before putting it down in the table, and having a quick look around. "Nothing unusual.", he thought to himself.

V'Rinji had just been on a training mission. "Gotta keep everyone ready to fight, 'cause you never know..", his superiors always told him. As always, his squad got through it all without any problems whatsoever.

"Thanks for the drink, old man.", V'Rinji said as he stood up, and walked silently out of the bar. He shot a glance down at his left arm. Shiny, cold rithium covered alloy. He could still remember that day. The pain, the anger, suffering, and the feeling of gratitude the moment his squadmates came in the door, their guns firing, battle screams roaring... V'Rinji came back to reality as he approached the Briefing Room. He entered, to find his squad and one of his superiors sitting there, waiting for him. The Briefing room was a small, circular room, with a holo-projector in the middle. chairs were placed around the projector upon large "steps", making sure everyone was able to see the projector.

"You're late, Captain.", the Rykian officer said. "Take a seat." V'Rinji gave a quick nod to his squad, before taking a seat in the front row. "Good, now that were all here, I would like to give you your next assignment.", the officer said. He pressed a few buttons on the holo-projectors controls, and it flickered to life, showing a map over Rykar space.

"Our patrols have detected unusual increase of Rykar freighter traffic lately. We see this as our chance to seize one or more of these freighters, for much needed supplies. Patrols indicate that the freighters are moving mostly between Ryk and minor space stations throughout the sector. We have isolated a small convoy heading our way. It consists of 1 large Rykar transport, and 4 escort fighter craft. Your role in this, will be to deploy on the freighter, and clear out any enemy resistance. The freighter is armed with several anti-fighter guns, so be sure to take them out fast, and if you manage, use them to our advantage. We will send 3 fighters to escort the troop carrier, and fight the enemy fighters. We need these supplies, so make sure the transport is intact when you return.", the officer explained.

After that, he went through the strategy plan of the mission, which included being sent out from an airlock, and entering the transport by cutting a hole, proceeding to the bridge, and seizing control of the ship, and using the guns to help fight the other fighters. The officer then said a quick good luck, and V'Rinji and his squad left the Briefing Room, to head down to the equipment facility.
