OOC: I expect that you have read the background in the planning thread and have a character listed on the character thread. If not, please do both. . Also, do as we do in the other RP, and list character name and location above each post.

Let the games begin!

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.

Kratos
Io, Moon of Jupiter - TAG First Ecounter Defense Quarters - Training Quarters 34-WR

Kratos settled the butt of the latest experimental rifle against his shoulder. He took aim at the target and fired. The recoil was huge, tossing him back a few feet despite his cybernetic leg. "Bloody hell!" he exclaimed, regaining his feet. He called over the attendant techie. "Hey techie! Take this one back to the lab. No way in hell can anyone possibly use that on a battlefield the way it is now". As he spoke, he tossed the rifle towards the young man, who fumbled but managed to catch it before it hit the ground. As he left the Firing range, he wondered what Veda was up to. He went down a couple of doors and entered the room. "Hey, Veda!" he called to his friend

Veda
Io, Moon of Jupiter - TAG First Encounter Defense Quarters - Training Quarters 32-WR

Veda turned if his microphone, just a little chip actually placed over the ears to the soldiers that could make them communicate, even over long distance. After turning it off, he went up to meet his friend.

"Hi mate" Veda said as he came up to Kratos, "I can say that some of these new weapons are just wicked, but could need some work alright" Veda added as he gave a look over to the other soldiers in TAG training with the Shock Rifle.

"Looks like we could need some new weapons, just got off with the 3-HDS Leader outside Pluto. They had a small defense cruiser on the borderline to the Rykar, and it has been under fire. It's has landed on the 3-HDS Docks, but now no one can manage to get any contact with the crew or people on 3-HDS. And the live-video communcation showed that it has been taken over by a squad of Rykar, very well trained. I think it most be the one of their Elite squadrons" Veda continued with a serious tone...

"I got orders from the Major General in the Outline Encounter for the Human Defense that we need to take control of 3-HDS and hold it for 48 hours. The tactical officers have already said that within 48 hours they will have soldiers, engineers etc. landing on Pluto, all we have to do is hold it..." Veda added. He went to the wall taking down his SoRAR³² and taking one of the Shock Rifles strapping it on his back...
