Introduction

in 2500, terraforming was perfected by earth scientists, as an answer to a serious over population problem and work was performed to terraform the other planets. over a 300 year course, all the planets were formed into places humans could survive on, starting with mars and ending with jupiter. with this, humanity has thrived in the milky way and for a long time peace, prosperity, and luxury was commonplace.

fast forward a millenium later, the year 3823, earth officially lost the last of its natural resources. until then, earth had been the leader and all the planets were seen as colonies to it. when earth began demanding natural resources from the other planets, much heat began to build, and eventually, 5 years later, Jupiter,saturn, uranus, pluto, neptune, and uranus (NO URANUS JOKES) broke away from the earth and its colonies, and formed the united worlds alliance in defiance of the earth forces. angered, earth declared war on the U.W.A, and thus began the galactic war. 13 years have passed and the bloody war has claimed hundred of thousands of lives without any sign of stopping.

as well, a rebellious group has arisen, the black scars, a group intent on using terrorist acts to force the earth forces and the U.W.A to stop warring, this radical group is known for they're absolute refusal to do any harm to civilians.

the war has also caused serious danger to the hyperspace trade routes, allowing space pirates to flourish, and making bounty hunters common place on space stations, as trade business men often higher them to hunt down said pirates.

the war threatens to do serious damage to the human race, its time to choose, what will you be, and how will you help save, or destroy, everything.

Rules

1. try to avoid fighting, the main focus isn't to go nuts and try to win the war, its to try and find a solution, find a way to live in their world

2: no god modding

3: stay in character, a poor person won't be riding a very expensive ship around

4: no vendettas that aren't justifiable.

[OOC] My first game here. Is there any activity yet, or are we just beginning? Please be aware I am an ABSOLUTE NOOB at this, though I have played some PBEM games.

That said...

[IC]

*BEEP*

Never taking his eyes from the stack of paperwork on his desk, Thaken reached over and touched the comm button.

"Yes."

"O'Malley from the mercantile district, sir."

"And?"

"He's back sir."

Sigh. "All right, O'Malley. Don't trail him, I'm on my way."

"Aye, sire. O'Malley out."

Thaken sighed again and cracked his knuckles. They were difficult to flex now after hours with his laser stylus, and his back cracked as he rose from his chair. He put on his jacket and headed for mercantile.

'He' could only be one person. Redd was back on station.

The political officer walked casually to the pawnshops and fences where he knew he'd find the pirate. Redd was unlikely to cause trouble on the station itself, but it never hurt to let him know that the law was a presence.

He mused on the complex nature of his relationship with the scoundrel. He had had to arrest him a few times, and failed to do so a few others. On the other hand, Redd had been a source of valuable information on more than one occasion, and had never double-crossed the Political Officer, though he had had several opportunities to do so. He often sensed that they were both equally tired of this damned war.

Thaken turned into the mercantile and several 'undesirables' who knew the Political Officer quickly found other places to be. He saw the tall pirate coming out of a fence's 'pawnshop' (more things were pawned there by those who didn't own them than those who did). The pirate glanced about, saw the short official, and stared. Thaken crossed the street towards him, nodding as he did.

its a slow day at the Kenra Space Station, when Astion returns into the stations docking bay, having just done a quick raid on a trading ship from saturn, i, Astion, plan to make for the nearest weapon shop, hoping to have my blaster outfitted with a charging mechanism, i whistle a cheery little tune as i unload some of the stuff i took to sell at a pawn shop later, and grab the bag of money i got. i whistle to myself lightly and leave the docking bay, making the 15 minute trip to Rabnar's Laser and History Style weapon shop, i leave most of the money with him, as well as my blaster, so he can perform the upgrade.

after this i head out of the shop and move towards a corner of the street where a bench is located, i sit down and think back on the good day i've had. i say to myself "if every day were like today, i'd own this station by now... and my first declaration, free donuts for everyone!". i then look around, realizing i said the last part a little to loudly and i apologize to the people staring at me like i'm a lunatic.

[ooc] nice playing there dude!

[ic]

Astion saw Thaken approaching him and rubbed his hair back a bit more and stood

Astion knew something was up, Thaken usually didn't seek him out personally, and he saw two outcomes, either his help was needed or he'd end up in a prison cell again.

"Thaken, to what do i owe the pleasure?"

Astion wasn't stupid, he was more then prepared to run into the back alleys, he didn't plan on spending a night like this in a prison cell, he had to much to do... like get some donuts.

[ooc] crap, posted this in the wrong spot, i'll post it in the right one, IGNORE THIS ONE :P

"Hello Captain," the Commissar responded with a forced smile. Redd stood there with that look of open good humor that always managed to get on Thaken's nerves. "Imagine I should find you coming out of this place!" he gestured vaguely to the fence's shop, "Now I wouldn't suppose I'd walk in there to find out you'd been involved in any contraband trafficking, would I?"

Redd offered a look and a gesture that was half 'Who? Me?!' and half righteous indignation, and had just opened his mouth to begin a story that would probably involve mysterious space gypsies, an inheritance from his long lost uncle, and a running gun battle against rebel corsairs that had nearly cost the pirate his life in loyal service to Earth Government, when the Commissar waved it away.

"Of course not, Redd, of course not. Foolish of me to ask. Work always on my mind. Why can't I simply let myself enjoy a chance encounter with an old friend?"

Another look from the pirate. This time one that said multiple things about the Commissar's honesty in general, and how it might relate to the legitimacy of his birth.

In any case, Thaken was not looking to push the big pirate on any level, at least not unecessarily. Though the Political Officer was a good shot, and somewhat skilled in Martian jiu-jitsu, Redd was a trained killer (though, it was rumored, a reluctant one), and Thaken had no illusions regarding the pirate captain's ability to break him in half. Of course, he suspected the pirate was aware that the presence of Operative O'Malley and half a dozen other agents within two blocks would make Redd's life uncomfortable and short thereafter.

Also, to Thaken's knowledge, Redd had never trafficked in anything really nasty. A few small arms, some contraband Ionian whiskey, the worst of all being a few Bibles, Korans, and some Elvis Presley CDs. Subversive, yes, but far from deadly.

No, the Commissar never pushed when a little friendliness would do the job.

"But come along Redd", he said, gesturing towards the Lucky Star Bakery two doors down on his left, "Let me buy you something. A jelly donut? I think you're partial to raspberry?"

[ic]

Astion looked at Thaken, had he heard right, he was being offered one of his favourite treats.

"cut to the chase Thaken, you only offer me something i enjoy when you'd like something, just tell me the job and what i'll get out of it, THEN we can go celebrate with donuts"

[IC]

After trailing Redd for about an hour around the station I decided to have some fun at Redd's expense so i went to Rabnar's Laser and History Style weapon shop and picked up his sidearms, claiming to the clerk that he changed his mind about the upgrades and to keep the money for the mistake he made. With guns in tow i made my way to my hidden pod, but not before waveing at Redd with his pistols in hand. I saw Redd was speaking with that Officer again, so i tried to get out of there quickly before I was noticed by the wrong kind of people.

After a couple hours flight, Doctor Regin is finally arriving on Kenra station.

"Finally, I'm out of my office!" Regin looked around and apologized to the people around her and left the station, looking around. After walking outside she looked around, taking in all the new sights and sounds. Regin walked down the streets, caring her briefcase and her suit case.

Sorry, the only real experience I have had of this is some En Garde! PBEM games, where it was okay to have the other character do obvious facial expressions or say what the other character SEEMED to be thinking, but not to put words in his mouth, or make him take physical actions. I'll catch on.

Anyway, we should probably wait at this point to see what the GM actually has in store for us, I'm guessing.

Also, as I said, still catching on. I put THIS one in the wrong place. I'll repost it in Kenra Station.

PBEM games, where it was okay to have the other character do obvious facial expressions or say what the other character SEEMED to be thinking, but not to put words in his mouth, or make him take physical actions. For example, in an argument, one character might say that another's face was going "red with shame." The other character could either let that stand, or reply, "But now he sees my face is red, not with shame, but with rage...", etc.

But I see it is different here. I'll catch on.

Anyway, we should probably wait at this point to see what the GM actually has in store for us, I'm guessing.

Oh, I see you ARE the GM! Again, sorry. Like I said, a lot to learn.

Well, let me follow your character a bit, and see how the adventure is supposed to go.

So...

[IC]

"All right Captain Redd, let's cut to the chase. You arrive on my station on the same day that my operatives tell me a very dangerous man may have arrived here as well. Perhaps someone associated with you? Maybe you'd like to calm my nerves, and tell me I'm in error, and don't have anything to worry about?"

Regin walked down the streets, watching and studying everyone. As I walked down the street i noticed a man who is wearing a political officer's uniform, walking beside a man who looks to be some sort of mercenary...or a space pirate. As i watched the two, i noticed a man slip into a alleyway.

"Strange...strange people." I mumbled to myself.

Question: Is this pure freeform roleplaying or are we operating under a system with attack rolls, saves, etc.?

For example, earlier, another player stated that he had slipped away before I had a chance to look. Fine. But what if I wanted to see him beofre he got away? Is there some die roll? Does the GM simply assign what happens?

Either is fine, I'm just curious how the game works.

[OOC] we're not ones for that kind of aspect much, what we've focused on is the story aspect and quick adaption to the actions of the other roleplayers.

ALSO, from nao on, i will use [GM] to disconcern from using my character and controlling the world.

Thaken returned to his office, slung his coat over his chair, and sat down with a thump. This seemed to be getting him nowhere. Redd was usually overly friendly and talkative, but now seemed decidedly closed mouthed.

Something was going to happen, but what?

He pushed the button.

"O'Malley?"

"Yes sir?"

"Get me a basic dossier on everyone who went though customs on the day Redd arrived. Nothing too deep, just basics. I think we may be dealing with something, and I'd like to have some idea what."

"Well this seems to be the distraction i wanted"

Without hesitation i made my way through the frightened masses trying to get to my transport. After a few minutes I found it, partially turned over but no real damage, so i got in and took off, activating my cloak mid liftoff.

Picking himself up off the floor, Thaken's fist slammed down on the comm button.

"O'Malley! Belay that last order! Put the Naval Troops on alert and have all our men draw sidearms. All leaves are cancelled. Then put me through to station command, it sounds like we're under attack!"
