Space Odessey

A thrilling adventure with new planets, people, aliens, robots, and much more in the depths of space.

Introduction

In 2078 AD the Yokohama left planetary orbit for the first time. It held a small crew with varying specialties. Their job was to scout out new planets for human settlement. It was a risky expedition since it would be the first test flight of the new trans-space drive. They arrived safely in a new solar system and began studying each of the seven planets. Only one was found to be comparable to earth. They took samples and prepared to return home with their findings. They set the jump coordinates but after jumping found themselves still in the same system. While attempting to get in orbit the people all blacked out. Upon awakening the crew found they had landed on the planet somehow. The ship was not built for ground to space travel so while it was intact, they could not get it back in space, as it was.

After careful testing they found the environment safe for human habitation. They only found one life form native to the planet which fed on the many forms of plant life. The creatures were skittish and difficult to catch. They seemed harmless so were left alone.
The mission leader Ten Komada announced that since the entire team was stranded, they would build a permanent settlement.

Several years later the first generation was born on โ€œNew Homeโ€ also called Kolob. The children seemed quieter than normal but one day a parent found her child speaking to one of the native creatures. After careful observation they let the child keep the creature as a pet. They continued to study it as time went on.

The girl Tasha Reynolds continued to talk to the creature for years and it never left her side.
One day a teacher was frustrated that the girl was still talking to her pet at age 15. She asked why Tasha still talked to a creature that couldnโ€™t talk back.
In surprise the girl said, โ€œYou mean you canโ€™t hear her?โ€
After a series of tests it was proved that the creature was intelligent and could communicate telepathically. The creatures live off small amounts of spirit energy that mostly came from the planets but after binding to a human they have a mental link to that human. They discovered that the creatures can navigate trans-space. Excited about sending a team back to earth, they hurried to reconfigure their ship. After it was rebuilt they renamed it the โ€œPhoenixโ€.

Meanwhile other children also gained companions but were still too young yet for training. Tasha was trained vigorously for her journey and finally left orbit at the age of 18. She is hailed by an asteroid settlement and the people there greet her enthusiastically.

She discovered that they are frantic to escape something they call โ€œThe Protectorateโ€. Some time ago artificial intelligence was developed on earth and no one in the colonies knows if the people on earth are dead or slaves to the A.I.โ€™s. Tasha helps them and explains about โ€œNew Home.โ€ The people are fascinated by her companion โ€œPoโ€ and are eager to get away from the protectorates swiftly expanding strength. Already some of the other colonies have fallen.

The โ€œWizards and Artificers guildโ€ has helped the surviving colonies band together and build the โ€œSpace Arkโ€ Tasha leads the ship back to โ€œNew Home.โ€ Everyone just hopes that the power of the A.I.โ€™s will not reach them on Kolob.
The colonists are welcomed but the dark news creates fear and uncertainty. The settlers decide to elect a new president and create a galaxy defense force to protect the planet.

So for this rp you have four or five choices for a character. One is a child born on Kolob, also called New Home. You would have a psychic pet and be in the "army" training to travel space.
second- is a person born on the asteroid these people are highly scientific but have also trained their minds so there are many psychics, telekinetics and such.
Third- from Earth either a human, robot, android, cyborg and such.
fourth- an alien from a distant world.
fifth- a magic user from another asteroid in Earths solar system.

Above Nix, the smallest of Pluto's three moons, was forge 17. Forge seventeen was one of the largest military weapons productions facilities in Plutonism space. Able to mass produce ground combat mechs on order the station also doubled as a refinery and residence for 800 personnel. It could manufacture over 50 armored vehicles a day and had 300 in storage.

This is why it was made a target for rebellion insurgents. At 3:00 AM three unscheduled carbon ore transports arrived and docked at the station. When inspection started the hatchs on all three ships slammed open and mechs started to pile out. The hanger security staff was taken by surprise and almost completely annihilated within minutes. Roughly 60 Volkot close quarters light mechs stormed into the station. The rebel Volkot's were of smaller size and able to fit into sections of the station where the defense force's own mechs couldn't fit. With a higher maneuverability and number of access routes, the rebels were able to avoid major opposition and faced primarily with under equipped infantry units. The station fell into chaos, with the security teams barely holding their ground while the insurgents continued to attempt to storm the storage area.

"... Which was relevant to the last report we received from Forge seventeen as of twenty one minutes ago, sir." Finished lieutenant Gearalt of the communications division.

Admiral James Tiraninot stood at the viewing port of his flagships command bridge. He watched the station in the distance continue it orbit around the moon of Nix. "What are the conditions of the hanger defenses? Have the insurgents over taken security controls?" Behind him Gearalt read off the report message on his data pad. "Sir, hanger blast doors were lowered 15 minutes after confirmed contact with hostiles. Scout drones sent to observe the exterior were short down by automated controls. Enemy is assumed to have full control over hanger defense." Admiral Tiraninot contemplated the situation. The station hangers were heavily reinforced against bombardment. Within the time it took for them to arrive it would be safe to assume the rebels had breached the storage area and were hijacking the mechs inside at the moment. With the anti-bomber turrets reprogrammed to cover the rebel ships they would have little success with destroying the transports before they entered trans-space. This would also prevent them from landing there own troops inside the station. He played a few scenarios in his mind, testing the likely hood of success in each strategy until he settled on a coarse of action.

"Position four squadrons of bombers on standby in an intercept pattern out side the hanger firing range. Target section six under the second ring of the station and launch R.H.A.M. barrage."

Lieutenant Gearalt gave a salute and responded with a "Yes sir!" then paused. when his mind registered the command. "Wait... what. I'm sorry Admiral but could you repeat that last part."

Tiraninot turned around to face Gearalt. He spoke in a slower and stronger tone. "Target section six under the second ring of the station's support facilities and fire. The station's life support is in that section. Without it, the automated defenses will go down and the insurgents will be forced to withdraw. Our squadrons will remove any remaining ships as they exit the station." Gearalt was about to object but Tiraniont held up a hand to silence him. "Do as you are ordered lieutenant or I will find someone who will." Gearalt cringed and relented, relaying the admiral's orders to the fleet. Tiraninot's flagship, the Ashur, opened a dozen of hatches to revel R.H.A.M. missiles.

R.H.A.M. Stood for Robotic Hammer Artillery Missile. It was one of the latest in weapons designs by Pluto's military force made to wreak the inside instead of trying to crack open the hull. A giant cone shaped jackhammer was mounted on the front of the missile that would pound it's way through a ships hull. Timed explosives would wait until Once it had managed to smash it's way into the interior of the enemy vessel before detonating, tearing the ship apart from the inside.

A barrage of these Missiles was fired into the station. They pounded into the side and disappeared under a mask of torn hull. Seconds passed as Tiraninot watch the station. Then a large bulge appeared in it's side before an entire section exploded open in a mass of fire and light. There was little sound, to much distance and not enough air to allow the vibrations of the explosion to reach them. But it rocked the facility just the same. Seconds later lights across the station went out. Power died quickly as even the power generator went up in smoke. With out the life support their was nothing to keep the stations systems running.

That included the ventilation that kept the oxygen flowing.

"Tell the squadrons to move into attack position and engage as soon as the insurgent's withdraw." Tiraninot ordered as he turned to leave, walking past a stunned and solemn Gearalt. "Oh and get a salvaging crew down there to pick up anything that we can recover. We don't want any one trying to loot this place later."

"Yes, sir..." was all Gearalt could reply with as he watch the carnage that Tiraninot had unleashed.

Shar-Khag's hand flinched back from the Mech when he was addressed. His antenna drooped as he started to feel a bit sheepish. "Sorry I have a... compulsive... interest in... machinery." He folded his bottom two arms and stared up at the vehicle. "My kind... relied more on... areal craft and... hovering... vehicles. Speed was... desirable for our kind." It was in Dakerkhan blood to move fast. One of the few things they enjoined as a collective whole was the feel of the world rushing by them as the moved forward. If their societies image was not so dominated by the cull wars, the thing that other galactic powers would have known the Dakerkhan for would be the spectacular races their people participated in.

"Speed huh? These mechs can get pretty fast, enough to get into different galaxies....or so I've heard. My own ship is of a different make than these. I'm not sure if it would beat them in speed or not, it doesn't depend on the same sort of technology or machinery." she crossed her arms, and realized she was starting to enjoy talking to Shar-Khag, not many Kolob natives could talk to her about machinery and technology that went into ships. "If you would like I will show you my ship, it is broken at the time. I can't seem to figure out what exactly is wrong with it."

The Dakerkhan mused for a moment. "I could... probably... examine it... myself. I have... experimented with other races... designs before. I might not be able to... repair your... vessel but I may be able to... adapt some parts of my own if I can dig it back up." Shar-Khag relaxed while he talked. Though normally composed the Dakerkhan had developed an attraction to machinery. There weren't a lot of his kind that took the same interest in it back in hive space, what with there ability to just share any knowledge through their Nelaka. It was nice to talk parts with someone for once.

And he might get a shot at fiddling with more foreign technology to boot.

The mayor left not long after and Alexis joined the others by Tasha's mech after she finished eating. "Do you really think you can get some of your ship from underground?" She broke in looking bright and eager to join in. She loved being in the thick of a group and it was even better if she was the center of attention.

Tasha had only listened to the conversation. She had never been much of a talker. She was the type to sit back and analyze something from every angle before speaking or acting. She wanted to continue observing this new alien and see what kind of technology he knew and could perhaps share with them. It had taken a lot of people time but all the refugees from the asteroids had been able to settle in here and they felt a lot more secure so far away from Earth's solar system and the "protectorate". They needed to know more. The protectorate knew they were out here somewhere and would find them one day. Not to mention there might be other settlements in that system that needed help. She didn't feel comfortable letting the alien know what they were up to and had not really wanted him to go to the mechs. They were all kept together like huge statues on the landing field. Well he couldn't come up with them so at least he wouldn't see the mechs in action. "My mech just has a small glitch in the left knee gyro. It doesn't sound good and it sticks when I transform it and try to walk it." She said the last to Katt wandering what the alien would think knowing that these transform, if he overheard from where they were at Liz's mech..

Katt gave him a bright smile. "Well, once I'm done with Tasha's rig, I can show you my ship." she turned and walked to where Tasha's mech was. She had heard Tasha tell her what was wrong, but made no reply-there really was no need for her to do so. She went to the knee and studied it for a few moments, then started tinkering around with the wrench. It didn't look like she was fixing anything to someone who didn't know how she worked.

The DakerKhan flick his antenna happily before turning back to Alexis. "While I don't think I can dig my... entire... shuttle up, not unless you were willing to... assist me, I could dig my way down to it and...retrieve.... anything that hasn't... already been worn away by time." Shar-Khag noticed something off though, now that he got a more through view of the landing field.

"This place... does not look like a... military... outpost." He noted. "I know it is not my... place to ask but why do you have so many... armed... vehicles."

"Let me answer that." Tasha broke in, walking over to them. "This settlement, we call the planet Kolob and the settlement New Home, is both a community and a military instillation because our numbers are so small. We like to be efficient. I don't know how much to tell you because honestly we have just met and you have insinuated that your race has a huge hold in this part of the galaxy. If I told you more about our situation you could take advantage of it and invade. I am sorry but for now I would like it if you did not wander around too much and we will find you a place to stay."

"Is he our prisoner?" Alexis mind spoke in surprise.

"Perhaps for now, just as Katt was until we knew we could trust her. We need to know more about his intentions before we give him more freedom."

Katt in the meantime, had switched from her wrench to a screwdriver. She could hear Tasha from where she was, her ears twitching slightly. She didn't think Shar-Khag had a race anymore...She had heard of a similar race once before, from her mother. She had been told of a ancient race of insect like aliens that had simply vanished, never to be seen or heard of again.....until now, if Katt was right about Shar-Khag's race and the race her mother had mentioned being one in the same. She said nothing out loud, knowing that the creatures with Tasha and Alexis could easily pick up on her thoughts. She twisted the screwdriver a few more times, then went over to where Tasha stood. "It should work now ma'am, any other problems that I may be of help with?"

Liz looked over to the group from the table that had food on it. She was eating some pie, watching Katt. She had picked up on Alexis's and Tasha's mind speak, not missing on the fact that they had mentioned her friend as having been a prisoner. Thinking back on that time, she didn't think that Katt had viewed it that way. Her friend had been in so much pain at the time, and she had been allowed to tinker with her ship. It was how the people had seen that she would be a good mechanic. Liz stopped chewing frowning to herself, she couldn't remember if a doctor had ever looked at Katt's leg. Surely they would have...even if Katt had been viewed as a prisoner....yet, for the life of her Liz couldn't remember if they had or not.

"So then I am your.... captive." Their was a slight hiss eminating from Shar-Khag's throat as he talked. Some of it gave him a level of annoyance. "I am a little... insulted that you would... assume that my kind have nothing better to do then launch... invasions upon other... peoples. My race might have a... history with war, but we are not... savages." He leaned in close, his antenna arching up at his emotion. "The fact that you make this... assumption with out hearing of my kind before strikes me as being... judgmental. I... certainly hope you don't treat all of your guest like this, for out right... suspicion does not help when greeting others."

He stood back up straight and walked away. He needed a spot to wait until Katt was done so he could have someone a bit more pleasant to talk to.

Alexis hurried after him "Wait please. Don't take it like that. We actually are wary of all strangers. We have to be. If we weren't our small settlement would have been destroyed by now. Tasha has always been blunt and she didn't say it well. If you are anything to go by I find it hard to imagine your race invading. Our race has always been suspicious though and since Tasha is one of our leaders it is her job to watch out for us. Really Katt had to go through the same, Probation, if you want to call it that. I really don't want you to feel bad we are fighting a strong enemy in another system and we are all on edge. The only reason the other aliens that came here were welcomed as they were was because of their sheer numbers. Ugh, I don't know if I am saying this right. I like you so don't forget that I believe in you Shar kag!" She barely paused for breath as she said all this but still managed to enunciate each word so he would understand, not because she looked down on him, but to be courteous cause she was speaking fast.

Liz watched Alexis ramble to Shar-Khag and smiled. The alien had taken it the way Tasha had wanted him to take it. Alexis was the one to cool unwanted fires, no need to get the alien angry at them. She walked over to the two casting a glance at Katt, who was still standing by Tasha. "Alexis is right, Katt had to go through the same thing when she first got here. It's not like we are going to throw you in a cell or something like that. Katt was allowed to work on her ship, and be outside if she wanted." Liz stopped a little behind Alexis, she was still a little nervous around Shar-Khag.

One of the Dakerkhan's antenna arched up in a manner similar to how a human quirked an eyebrow. "One person lost and... confused you regard with... suspicion. A large group of armed... individuals you welcome with open arms? Yours is a strange race. With the... Dakerkhan we would react the... opposite way." Shar-khags antenna wiggled again while he shifted his feet. "It is alright. I am use to the stigma that is... attached to my people. We have a bloody... history, and... traditions most find... repulsive or do not... understand. It's just the... assumption that I am here as the first wave of an attack that... aggravates me." His antenna arched again and he hissed once more, but this time more in annoyance than in anger. "If you have only ever heard of my kind from me then I am to... assume that the other human is making... her... assessment of my kind from me alone. That is what insults me."

"No we regarded the Large group with a lot more suspicion but since they came suddenly and we were unsure we could win we made them feel welcome while keeping an eye on them at the same time." Tasha broke in. "All strangers could be enemies and the moment we think otherwise is the moment we could die." She said these final words and turned on her heel. "I want all pilots in their mechs for training in twenty minutes." She said over her shoulder Po twittering as if echoing her words as she climbed up into her own mech using a ladder since it was in robot form. Once she was in, she made sure everyone was far enough away before turning on the hoverjets for vertical takeoff. She hovered in the air while her mech changed back to it's ship form for take off. Robots were only really good on land or in space, not for take off or landing, though she could land in that form in a pinch. Wich a loud roar she was off into the atmosphere and soon out of sight the only thing left behind was the bang of the sonic boom.

"Sorry about that Shar Kag. She means well. Looks like I have to go. Katt can keep you company if you get lonely and she can also show you where you can stay. See you later." Alexis waved and ran over to her own mech that was already in ship form. She took more time but was also soon in the air. She accelerated also producing a boom cause without extreme acceleration you can't get out of the atmosphere. She had waited til she was higher though so the noise on the ground wouldn't be so bad.

Liz bowed her head to Shar-khag and ran towards her own mech. As she passed Katt she smiled in apology "Looks like your the baby sitter this time round." Katt simply nodded to her friends words, then walked over to where Shar-khag was.

Katt crossed her arms once she reached Shar-khag "Tasha is someone you have to get used to." she looked up in the sky her tail swaying. "It took me a month before I was used to her personality." she looked back to Shar-khag and gave a smile "Ready to see my ship?"

His antenna arched again. Suspicion was one thing but to Shar-Khag it felt like the human Tasha was treating him without right hostility. He whistled and decided to take the others words at face value for now. He guessed he was just feeling... what was the term human's called it, culture shock?

He relaxed and turned back to Katt. "Very well, lead the way." At least now he could focus on some mechanical work to ease his mind.

Tasha waited the twenty minutes and whether or not everyone was there or not she started the exercise, whoever didn't show up would get punishment jobs later. "Ok first I want all ship form mechs in an a formation with me at the point and Alexis behind and to my right and Liz on the left with everyone else in two equal lines behind. We will make a sweep around the moon and back staying in formation at exactly 12 parsecs apart the entire time. This will help keep us sharp and unified. Fall out!" She finished and started out not giving them more than a moment to get themselves in order.

Alexis was swiftly behind and to the right and carefully measured the distance with help from her nav computer. It was hard though to keep it at an even speed and distance while moving at close to the speed of light. Thanks to the forcefeilds there was no g-forces in the mechs but you could still feel the forward momentum and see it in the viewscreens. It was a good challenge to warm up and get her reflexes and mind working and she reveled in it, loving to watch the stream of stars pass by.

Liz went to the left side as Alexis went to the right. She was used to the speed of Tasha's exercise's by now. She actually liked them, though she would never say so out loud. If Tasha caught it through her thoughts, then so be it. She loved being in space, and wished she could stay out here for longer periods of time.

Katt's smile grew and she turned, leading the way towards her ship. It sat next to the small building that she called home, with parts strewn around it. The outside was completely fixed, it was the inside that Katt was having trouble with. The only thing she was sure that was fixed was the steering portions of the ship. She gestured towards it "Well here is the wreck that was once my ship, as you can see from all the parts out here, I still have work to do."

Melya watched the stars grow further from the ship as the ground came closer.Her ship had been given permission to follow the fleet from partly due to diplomatic reasons (mainly her being a princess) and humanitarian ones (she and her crew were sent to find a new home,should the Protectorate destroy her planet).She worried if there would be enough warning to evacuate the planet if the Protectorate developed the technology to destroy it.
No,she shouldn't,couldn't think like that,after all her sister was on a similar mission with a larger group of people.She wondered about her sister and her planet.Then she saw that there were people below,"Watch out,we're getting close to people!" "Yeah,Yeah let me do my job!",the captain responded grumpily back in Vin'may, the language of her people.
The ship made a noise as it hit the ground.She saw parts of an old looking ship underneath hers.The captain was speechless for once until he said,"It was...um...a like this when I got here." Melya ran out of the ship,looking panicked and seeing many people near by,the closed being a humanoid with the ears of an earth cat."Nobody's under there,right?",her question sounding like a plead.

On Pluto Governor Hallifax roared in fury into the com. "Tiraninot, What the hell have you done?! I needed that station and you have destroyed it. That station cost Millions of Plucots! How are you going to fix this? Couldn't you have come up with a better way to stop the insurgents rather than blow up the damn station?

If he were a lesser man Tiraninot would have groaned at the governor's rant. Instead he just hardened his gaze, just by a fraction. As usual he barely managed to get the communications relay open before the governor of Nix started shouting at him.

Steeling his patience and keeping his face and tone neutral the Admiral responded. "If you have read over my report, sir Hallifax, then you would see that I have only damaged it's life support. The station itself is still structurally sound, and with proper repairs and restaffing it can be operational again within a month or two." He turned away looking back over the latest mission report from the salvage crew as he continued. "While the loss of the assembly line and refinery is an unfortunate lost I believe it was a necessary course of action." It was the usual complaint. Too much property damage, or casualties, or loss of resources. Rarely did anyone see the reason for his actions, or the alternative's that could have resulted. And honestly he had more important business to attend to then listen to more whining from some sniveling politician.

"A month or two! Do you understand how much time and money I will lose because of this. I was depending on the resources from that station to repay the Tirak Legion and now they will be after my head. It should be your neck and not mine for destroying my best chance for repaying those loan sharks."

He kept ranting but was suddenly cut off and warning bells went off all over the compound as a fleet of twenty various ships dropped out of warp right on their doorstep. "Hello good people of Nix and Pluto" A low sexy voice said over the comm, broadcasting on a wide range so everyone could hear. A picture came up on the screen of a buxom woman with a lovely face and long black hair in small braids that reached down past her hips while seated. She had a tall bald man with an eye patch on her right and a rough looking woman with crazy blue hair and Hard gray eyes and a squarish face with hard angles, on her left. "I am Capton Yarasa Tyreen of the Triten and the leader of this pirate fleet. We have come to relieve you of your resources." She said this with calm confidence and smugness like she was doing him a favor by raiding them.

The was no response from the admiral. Instead he switched off the transmitter and marched down the command deck.

"Gearalt!" He barked "what are the positions of our heavy cruisers?"

"Onyx one and three are at coordinates G18 and G20 sir. Onyx two is G30." The lieutenant responded. Tiraninot started barking out orders sending the bridge into a frenzy of activity. The interior lights of the Ashur's turned red as the ship went into combat alert.

"One and three will move to open broadside barrage on their left flank. Onyx two will move to their right and box them in. Move the flag ship to the front, have the Ashur's main cannons focus fire on their center. Try to drive their formation in half. Split our reserves into two groups, both in a wedge formation and strike the enemy from above and below. Will have them in a pincer bind. I want every available squadron out in combat position now! Lysso, what is the arrival time of the nearest reinforcements?"

"The Foals cluster is an E.T.A. of thirty minutes." She replied over her shoulder.

"Tell them they have twenty."

If he hadn't gone into a battle mind set Tiraninot would have either been insulted or disbelieving of the pirates actions. Charging head long into the very heart of Plutonism space, announcing their presence right after exiting trans-space, and even willing to launch a raid on an area that held one of the five admirals present with an armed force of fifteen ships. Even if she did had five more vessels then his own fleet cluster, this Captain Yarasa had to be very arrogant and foolish if she thought she would walk away from this with her fleet intact. Especially if she was willing to give up her chance at a preemptive strike just so she could be dramatic. A mistake Tiraninot was not about to make.

"Sir, should we send the enemy a message?" Lysso asked. Tiraninot resisted the urge to snort. "Tell them they have five seconds to surrender before we open fire." The major looked up from her computer panel to give him a quizzical look. "But sir, I'll barely be able to get that across before the fleet engages them." Tiraninot didn't respond

"You have your orders," he the admiral shouted. "FIRE AT WILL."

"They said we have five seconds to surrender" The comm officer said and barely finished before the enemy was firing. The barrage hit their shields like rain but didn't phase the shields.

"The Biometric shielding is holding." Another pirate stated.

"Is the stealth fleet in position?" Yarasa asked and when her first officer nodded she continued. "Order them to go now and also return fire, with laser cannons and rail guns!"

The bald man with the eye patch picked up the comm and sent the coded message and within moments on the other side of pluto another fleet of ten cloaked ships came out of hyper space two going to the five going to the capital and the others going to the other spots where Pluto officials were known to be located.

Meanwhile Yarasa was studying the enemies formation. I think I see an opening on that side, she pointed it out on the radar screen to her officers. "Send one third our force to start punching through that gap while the rest of us continue to concentrate on the leader of the enemy.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

I still haven't replied but I just don't know what to say and people have just stopped coming. I don't know maybe I should let at least this one fold. I wanted to continue but I am not super excited about this one anymore and I can't really think of what to do next. I hate doing that but I just have been so depressed and lacking in motivation lately.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

Sorry I am still kind of waiting for the answer to this and feeling like crap because I have been so out of it for both my rps.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

That makes sense for the rebels but what kind of booty would satisfy pirates. I mean there would have to be something good for somone like Yarasa to help out the rebels. She doesn't do things for free. So what kind of treasure might pluto have, especially something rare or dangerous that Tiraninot might not want to give them.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

Well you could make something up about a prisoner release. It would be easy to say that pluto has a few rebels locked up for treason.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

Ugh I was happy to see your post but have no idea what the rebels demands would be.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

I look forward to it.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

Sorry for lateness. I've been side track a lot (What else is new) I will try to get in a post tomorrow night.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

[edit] never mind what I wrote here originally. I think I might save it for later.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

Ok then, i will pm you with the details.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

Sure, science fiction is something I seem to be good at and doing a little editing on the plot won't be too hard.

[edit] trying to work in the Pluto dictator, he'll come up a few times with Tiraninot later. I was thinking of making him a younger political leader, maybe a bit more flamboyant in personality. And I might get around to giving details about the other four admirals of Pluto later.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

Very interesting ideas and that way it would make sense for other planets to suspect mars as being behind the protectorate but why would they have withdrawn from contact? That was something that was keeping me from posting more about it. About the only two things I was sure about was the situation on Earth and Kolob. I didn't have any specifics about anything else. My hubby is the one who came up with all this originally anyway. I am so unsure about where to go with it since it is supposed to be mainly about the mechs and the protectorate, I just am not sure what the exact plot is and how each of the planets and everyone fits in. I don't even have any idea how to plan things out. I am worried I bit off more than I can chew here. Wake if you had a more detailed idea I could let you be co gm. I just have no confidence about pulling this together with any coherency. If you agree I will tell you the secret about the protectorate and what is really going on, on Earth.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

(continued)

Another had I had kicking around was for Jupiter.

Jupiter would be a religious state, similar in design to the Vatican. It would be the head of some new 'space religion' centered around the 'souls of the planets' that we might base of roman mythology (or like a rebirth of it). Jupiter would have it's own standing army, but it would be more of a protective measure.

To make it more interesting we might make this place the center of the new united nations.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

Right well, while I can't sleep yet and I'm currently unable to bring myself to post Tiraninot's response for the night I figured I'd touch up on a few ideas I had for mars (since you asked me so long ago).

So for Mars I was thinking that it would be a democratic republic with a council of senators as the height of the gov and a few officers elected into their offices by said council. Mars would probably have a larger emphasis on its ground troops then most other planets, due to the fact that it's atmosphere would be more stable then most other planets. Since Mars would have been the easist planet to settle it might have more planet side cities then other worlds, making it more of an urban world. Also it would have access to better farming ground with it's ecosystem (Other worlds would grow there food artificially in designated produce stations.) That would make Mars major export food, because it is the largest producer of natural foods (Ever since earth went dark at least). With all the advantages of being the most earth-like planet in the system It would stand that Mars would also have considerable militaristic, economic, and political power.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

lol, me neither...Lilith is feeling very unsure of herself right now

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

I have no idea what to do next.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

well i fixed it, does anybody want to make a post?

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

That sounds fine and we will go back to Kolob once the mission to Mars is over. It will be a lot of back and forth. I know it might be annoying and I am sorry but I wanted to keep things in their own areas. I also thought about having a place for each of the planets and stuff but I thought that might overcomplicate things. Just do your best and lets keep having fun.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

Okay, after a small delay I'm back.

so yeah, missed place posting (Why do we have two if we aren't going back to kolob anytime soon?) I think that maybe I can get around that by copying my post and ash's and putting them with my response we can work around that.

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

I didn't even notice that his was in the wrong place -_-

Re: [OOC] Space Odessey

You posted in Kolob not "Earth's solar system". Friendly nudge to fix, though then Ash's post would be in the wrong order. *sigh* So you two figure it out.
