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 “New Home” 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 couldn’t talk back.
In surprise the girl said, “You mean you can’t hear her?”
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 “Phoenix”.
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 “The Protectorate”. 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.’s. Tasha helps them and explains about “New Home.” The people are fascinated by her companion “Po” and are eager to get away from the protectorates swiftly expanding strength. Already some of the other colonies have fallen.
The “Wizards and Artificers guild” has helped the surviving colonies band together and build the “Space Ark” Tasha leads the ship back to “New Home.” Everyone just hopes that the power of the A.I.’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.

She took the offered seat, not wanting to argue. She was still uncertain about these aliens. They had been observing them and had probably come here for more than just friendly exploration and first contact. She had a feeling they might have a deeper purpose but wasn't sure if that might be insidious or not. She plotted the course, effortlessly figuring out their interface. She had a knack for technology it was almost like she could communicate with it on some innate subconscious level. She kept one eye on Marielle as they got closer to the planet.

Marielle led Tasha into the bridge, where the entire crew on board looked up from what they were doing to stare with intense curiosity at the newcomer. A wave of her hand, and Marielle sent them all back to their respective tasks. Then she took her seat and buckled herself in. Marielle was impressed over how fast the alien figured out Yiffierian technology. It was - scary, to say the least. She also didn't feel comfortable the way the alien kept stealing glances back at her. The last thing she wanted to do was loose the alien's trust - at this point still a fragile thing. For one thing, she didn't feel like testing the alien's idea of a quantum loop, or what it would do to jump technology. Then she still had her primary mission to consider. Without this alien's cooperation, she would have no way of discerning where the alien's home world was.
"Course inlaid," her navigator declared, herself impressed by the alien's performance.
"Excellent," Marielle nodded.
"All stations report ready for entry," her first officer said.
"Very good. Sergeant, take us in."
"Yes ma'am," her helmsman said. "Initiating deflection burns. We will be entering the upper atmosphere shortly." The space ship shook as its maneuvering thrusters fired and it aligned itself with its new course. There was an even bigger jolt as it hit thicker air. "Entering outer atmospheric layer. Angle of attack at 45 degrees. Adjusting pitch to 20. Deploying flaps and drag fins." The entire structure vibrated as it slowed down. Plasma flickered out the windows, but disappeared as the ship got lower and lower. The horizon seemed to flatten out, and the tiny blue film of sky got thicker and thicker until it surrounded the entire spacecraft. "We've entered the stratosphere. Leveling out." The ship was moving much slower now, even slower than a standard aircraft. Marielle could make out the features of the ground below them ahead through the helmsman's window. "We've leveled out at the standard approach altitude."
"Well done, Sergeant," Marielle smiled. "Number One, prepare the shuttle for departure."
"Yes, ma'am," her first officer said. He unbuckled his belt, saluted Marielle, and scuttled off.
"We should have the final way-point in sight in five minutes," the navigator reported.
"Tactical reports no known sensor locks from potential weapons systems," another astronaut reported.
"Good," Marielle said. "Let's let the aliens have a good long look at us." She craned her neck from her chair, hoping to catch a glimpse of the alien settlement, wondering if it were a collection of wooden shacks or a full scale steel-and-glass metropolis.

The first glance of Kolob would show it was still mostly natural but the colonists had been careful to only build what they absolutely needed and use the land in the best most "green" way possible so though they did have large buildings they tended to be built inside a hillside or even a few buildings in the nearby mountain range. Their settlement was still small only recently nearing the thousand mark. So they didn't need much space. They had the "government building" with offices, a courthouse, and other meeting rooms for the president and other leaders. Then their was the huge defense force compound build inside the nearest mountain with huge areas for the mechs, ground control, barracks, mess hall and other essentials. The settlement had a lot of low buildings a police station/fire. The energy station. A church, a general store and even a small restaurant that one of the settlers had built. All the houses were a reasonable size and all had different styles suited to the owners but built well and efficiently. All homes had basements and a geothermal heating system and all the power that didn't come from the solar panels, came from wind and water energy. There was a huge damn and reservoir near the settlement that provided the whole place clean water. They had also come up with an ingenious sewage system and cleaned and recycled it for other uses, like fertilizer. though it may not look sleek and modern at first glance it was built with preservation of the planet in mind and for maximum efficiency. So the settlers were proud of it
Once they were ready to go down in the shuttle Tasha stood. "I will want to pilot my own ship down, so you can follow me down to the landing pad." The landing pad was actually a natural rocky outcropping that they had covered in concrete so that it would not break down with the extreme stress from landings and take offs. There was a tower to guide them in and plenty of room for many large ships almost the size of a 747 to land on it. Though because of their technology they didn't need a runway to take off they did have enough space if they needed one.

Marielle was impressed with the aliens' settlement. It was surprisingly well developed. At first, she had been expecting wooden cabins, perhaps a small power station, and a dirt airstrip for shuttles - much like newly founded Yiffierian colonies on uninhabited worlds. After encountering the alien forces in space, she'd thought of something bigger - like a full fledged civilization. For such a small number of aliens to develop such an advanced settlement, capable of producing installations on thier moon, this was quite an accomplishment. Marielle telepathically ordered the astronauts in the electronics station to begin a complete scan of the alien settlement. This was, after all, what the ship was built for.
"I think we can guide ourselves in," Marielle said. "We..."
Captain, ma'am, thought her first officer. The alien, Tasha, I think, is less concerned with guiding us in than seeing to the security of her aircraft. I think she fears we might try to scan it or disassemble it to steal their secrets.
What secrets? retorted Marielle. Even a first year aerospace engineering student could spot the many flaws and inefficiencies in that design. It's far inferior to anything we've ever had.
Still, just humor her.
"Very well, then," Marielle said aloud to Tasha. "I'll have the astronauts depressurize the fighter bay. I will see you on the ground."
With that, Marielle left the bridge, letting the first officer know he had the bridge. She arrived at the dock for the small personnel shuttle to find another marine honor guard already seated in the passenger area. They clumsily tried to salute her from their seats, but Marielle casually waved them at ease. She entered the cockpit, nodded to the pilot and co-pilot (who were reviewing the computer's preflight checklist), and took her seat behind them on a jump-seat.
It didn't take long to get clearance for launch. Unlike the fighters, the shuttles were attached to the exterior of the ship, tucked in shallow alcoves and held in place with docking clamps. The astronauts sealed the hatches and switched on the jet engines, then throttled them to full power the moment the clamps were released. The shuttle pulled away from the ship and settled into a level flight. They circled out over a range of mountains east(?) of the alien settlement to bleed off altitude as the pilots maneuvered in for their initial approach.

Liz was glad they were going back home, she had noticed that her mech was starting to fly slower than the others. She followed Alexis to the ground and once she landed and got out, she went to where she could see Katt. Once she was close she ran the rest of the way, Dawn sitting on her head like a furry little hat.
"The aliens are coming to the ground, I think it would be wise for you to meet Tasha when she lands. It might be good for them to know that we aren't the only species able to live here."
Katt nodded and went to meet Tasha's mech, which was starting the landing process.
"Oh and Katt," her friend turned to look at her "Check my mech when you can, it seems to be flying slower for some reason."
Katt nodded, and turned to meet Tasha where she would land her mech.

They had seemed for a moment to not want to let her back to her ship and then let her go. It was such a releif to be back on familiar territory. she couldn't have left it on their ship. it was like a part of her and she hated being away from it for long. Po was a calming influence in her mind and on her shoulder. She rubbed the side of his tummy with her cheek and nose and he licked it almost seeming to grin at her. She smiled, calm and in control again. She got in her ship and within moments was ready to go and exiting the launch bay. She loved being in space. The sheer vastness of it and the quiet just seemed to seep into her bones and soothe them. She flew out of the bay and down to the landing pad knowing the shuttle wouldn't be far behind. She could see Katt nearby and made a mental note to thank her.
It would be good for the aliens to see that they had had contact with other species from other planets and that they weren't as primitive as she could tell they thought they were. The aliens had yet to see how amazing the meme-cvs were. She would put her nightshade against anything in the galaxy. Alexis stood next to the Generals and the president herself and her aids were even there waiting in a line to greet the aliens. Tasha exited and saluted as soon as she came close enough and after their return salute took a place next to General Hagen. She glanced at him and he gave her a small nod. He had been her childhood friend and they still talked as often as possible. Though he was tall and lean with a chiseled chin and dashing good looks with soft raven black hair that fell over his forehead and beautiful blue eyes and a great body, she had only ever seen him as a good friend.
She was a career woman through and through and didn't really believe in love. But she caught Alexis' blush when Rafe seemed to glance in her direction. She smiled slightly. She had known for some time that Alexis had a crush on Rafe but their was a six year age gap. Rafe being 26 and Alexis at 20. The shuttle's landing turned her attention back to the task at hand. If this was a trap these aliens would see what they were made of. Until that time though she would keep a sharp eye out and be welcoming and civil to them.

Katt's tail flicked a little when she saw the shuttle the aliens were in. It was closer to her planet's technology than that on Kolob. It was different enough that she knew they were not from the same star system. She looked to Tasha, unsure of where to be when the aliens came out. She didn't want to be viewed as part of the military, but at the same time knew it would help for the aliens to see her here.
Liz watched the aliens shuttle prepare for landing with a touch of nervousness. She knew the aliens said they were here for peace, and that they seemed to be telling the truth about that. Dawn moved to her shoulder, and Liz pet her for comfort, glad that she didn't have to stand with Tasha and the others. She looked to the line of militia waiting on the aliens, and looked to Katt.
Katt is familiar the technology of the aliens. It is close to that of her own planet.
Liz looked to Dawn, she had asked her pet to keep an eye on Katt's thoughts when they had first met. She had felt nervous about doing so, it felt like spying, but it had come in use when the two first met. Katt sometimes had a way of talking that Liz didn't understand without Dawn's help.
"That's a good sign right?"
I'm not sure, she seems to think it's from a different star system as well.
Liz frowned and looked back to the shuttle that was landing, she hoped that everything would go well.

Marielle watched the pilots work as they guided the shuttle in to the landing area. The computer assisted in calculating a glide slope and tending to the myriad smaller tasks of landing such as applying speed brakes, adjusting the flaps on the wings, and throttling down the engines. The pilots just guided it in.
"Landing gear down and locked," reported the co-pilot. "Five hundred. Two-fifty. One hundred."
"Try for a vertical landing instead," Marielle suggested. She'd observed the alien fighter making one as it touched down.
"Hold on, and let me reset the computer," the pilot said. A few seconds later, he pulled out of the descent and flew in low over the runway(?) and over the crowd of aliens gathering to watch the shuttle land. Its engines revved up, no doubt startling the aliens below with their roar. Marielle felt the shuttle climb slightly, then bank around in a sweeping turn. Both she and the co-pilot cast the pilot a funny look, and cocked their ears in reproach. "Oops. Missed approach."
The shuttle came in again, then slowed to a stop as it swiveled thrust vents perpendicular to the ground. It gently settled to the ground.
"Touch down."
"Well done," Marielle smiled, and patted the two crewmen on the backs. She returned to the passenger compartment to find the marines were getting themselves situated by removing their rifles from the storage racks. The sergeant in charge of this particular squad, however, was fumbling with the toggle switch for her energy crystal pack.
Liffannia, what are you doing with your rifle?
Making sure it's locked and charged, the sergeant thought in reply. In case these worms want to play games. You never know with animals. Even the most harmless ones can still bite your fingers off.
Just make sure you keep the safety on, and don't point it at an alien, Marielle warned. They won't bite, if we don't provoke them, got it?
Yes ma'am.
With that straightened out, Marielle hit the button on the wall of the passenger compartment to open the door and deploy the air stair. Then she inspected each marine as he or she filed out and formed an honor guard outside. Each marine stood up straight and proud, with their long, pointed ears pricked up in alertness. Then Marielle herself disembarked, pausing only to adjust her sword to make herself appear more regal. She blinked in the bright sunlight outside, but her eyes quickly adjusted. As she descended the air stair, her eyes scanned the crowd of aliens, picking out Tasha, and separating the females from the males, and the elders from the youths from the juveniles.

The whole line of people waitied until the aliens were close enough. President Sophia Tersick smiled her face was angular and one of those that could never have been pretty but was handsome. Her shoulder length auburn hair laying nicely around her face and bringing out her green eyes. "Welcome to Kolob."

The whole line of people waitied until the aliens were close enough. President Sophia Tersick smiled her face was angular and one of those that could never have been pretty but was handsome. Her shoulder length auburn hair laying nicely around her face and bringing out her green eyes. "Welcome to Kolob."

Katt's ears perked up some at the sight of the aliens. She had never seen anything like them before, her planet didn't really do trade with other planets. She looked to Tasha again, wondering for a moment if she truly trusted these new arrivals. She looked to the aliens again, and shifted her weight, standing in one spot to long bothered her leg, and it made her nervous at the same time. Her tail swayed back and forth, she would have to stay calm in front of these aliens.

The pirate grinned as he stood in his mucky ship bridge staring out at large transport ship that was travelling past Mars. "Sir! Can we attack them now!" Grunted one of the crew members who had obviously had there nose broken a number of times and had a cybernetic implant in his right eye.
"Yeah lad sound the attack..." The captain nodded with agreement and began to chuckle as the crew member turned round to the oil stained controls and began to issue orders. The orders were to board with small arms fire the cargo was not to be damaged. "This is our easiest run yet." The captain grumbled before falling backwards and sitting on his large captains chair staring out of the bridge window at the transport ship. The captain then began to mumble on about pirate matters and what kind of loot they found on board before he was interrupted by the another crew member behind him.
"Sir... We have another ship on radar it came out of no where!" the pirate said as he began to panic and hammer at the controls trying to get more information. A white blur shot past the bridge window and off into the distance leaving the pirate ship behind. "...Its leaving..." the pirate said joyfully leaving the captain to return to his rant about piracy.
On the outside of the ship...
Phobos dug his blades into the piracy ship and began to claw his way onto the top of it. His giro's spun quietly and his pistons eased as the machine slowed down and stopped in front of a large window with three people staring at him from the inside.
Back on the bridge...
The captain stopped talking and the two other crew members paused what they were doing when they saw the machine clutching onto the front of the ship. "Seal the blast window!" The captain screamed causing the two other pirates to begin hammering at the controls. "Put me onto the rest of the crew" the captain ordered. A loud bing told him the loud speaker was on and that everyone on the ship could hear him even the machine. "Crew we are under attack from some kind of machine bastard! I want all of you up to the bridge bring your weaponry your gona need it!" The loud speaker switched off and the noise of elevators and the clanging of footsteps could be heard as the crew made there way towards the bridge. The sound of glass shattering shocked the captain and he looked up to see the metal blast window closing far too late.
Phobos saw the metal window cover begin to lower and rushed towards the glass throwing his metal body through it and into the ships bridge. The shield slammed down behind him and the he rolled across the solid floor or the bridge sliding a blade off his back and impaling the first pirate in the room. The captain was frozen out of fear and the other pirate trembled and fell to the floor. The robot pulled the blade out of the man letting his heavy corpse drop the the floor. He then charged the captain flicking the blade back on this back and diving onto the captain gripping his head with his metal hands and crushing his skull with no mercy. The last pirate in the room began to shake and pulled himself underneath the control panel. Phobos stood up and faced the door the rest of the pirates were coming from. The two small blades slid out from his arms.
The door slid open and the pirates came in slowly scanning the room for any kind of life. The whimpering of the lone survivor could be heard and the first pirate in the room took one look at him and said "Bloody hell mate get up off the floor and grab a g..." The man was cut short as the machine dropped from the ceiling a crushed the man's chest.
Back on Phobos's spaceship...
The A.I began to flick through Mp3 files in search of a song to blast from Phobos to disorientate the enemy. Eventually it came to a stop and rested on a song that it quickly transmitted to the machine.
Back on the pirate ship...
Phobos began to cut his way through the enemy weaving a thin ribbon of blood from man to man. The bullets they fired bounced off his armour and into other pirates. The machine began to project a loud song as it cut its way through the pirates. "I feel pretty, Oh so pretty, I feel pretty and witty and gay" One of the pirates screamed as the machine swung its leg and smashed his skull against the wall shattering it instantly. The combat in the corridor ceased for a moment before the next wave ran around the corner and towards him wielding shock blades. "And I pity, Any girl who isn't me today, I feel charming, Oh so charming" The blades clashed against one another but yet Phobos showed no signs of relenting. the machines blades simply parried each one of the blows before sending a devastating attack the neck or head, leaving a bloody mist behind him. Machine gun fire began to pummel Phobos and it dropped to one knee as the bullets began to force him back slowly. The giro's began to spin rapidly and the sound of pistons grew louder. Destruction mode initiated flashed across the robots on board computer and forced it into overdrive. "It's alarming how charming I feel, And so pretty, That I hardly can believe I'm real" Phobos sprinted towards the pirates his small arm blades slideing away and reaching up for his own two shock swords. The noise of metal sliceing through flesh echoed down the corridors accompanied with the music and the screams of the pirates. After a long time of combat and strangely happily music accompanied with scream later Phobos walked back towards the ships bridge. Oil leaked from the machines left arm and a large slice had fried one of his cooling vents. The song still played because the machine still remembered one last pirate on board the ship.
The pirate sat trembling underneath the controls he could hear the loud heavy metal footsteps and the music growing ever louder. "She thinks she's in love, She thinks she's in Spain, She isn't in love, She's merely insane" The song stopped after the word insane and so did the heavy footsteps. All that could be heard was the pirate crying quietly before even that was silenced by a blade sliding across his throat.
Phobos walked to the control panel and set the blast shield to open and allowed himself to be pulled out by the vacuum and into space. The machine drifted for a while before the white ship glided alongside him and opened up a small hatch allowing the machine to enter and repair itself so it would be ready for its next mission.

Beep Beep. Beep Beep. The commlink beeped inside Phobos' ship. XV50 Squad 6 combat drone "Phobos" please come in. You are in violation of citizins rights and due process. Please respond. XV50 Squad 6 combat drone "Phobos" come in and explain the fact that all of the witnesses are now dead.
"It still isn't responding General Hammond." A pretty officer turned with her headset on and reported to the general.
He was not a tall man and his bald head shone under the flourescent lights. He was a hard military man bulky but mostly muscle, though at his age it was starting to go flabby in the stomach area. He didn't get much opportunity for physical activity now that he was a general. You had to make the hard decisions and those often came from behind a desk and not on the bridge of a ship. He did miss the excitement of being out there but someone had to be in charge. He looked at the veiwscreen which showed the stars over mars and vaguely you could see the drones' ship flitting in the distance. It was clearer on the radar a small blip on the screen. The drone had become a problem. No longer following their orders but doing whatever it darn well pleased. At least it still attacked pirates but it would be nice to arrest them and gain info on what connections they had and also gain whatever booty they might have had still on the ship. And dang it, the Martian government weren't murderers. This was a democracy not a dictatorship.

For a moment, Marielle was left dumbfounded. Once again, she was overwhelmed with being the Yiffierians' ambassador to a whole new species. Now it was even worse than before: here she was before at least a hundred aliens, and she didn't have anything to say. She consciously made an effort to keep her ears from lapsing into a panicked, nervous position. It was especially terrifying that they were expecting her to initiate First Contact. The last thing she wanted was to make a fool of herself.
Well, this is what you're here for, she thought to herself. Keeping herself composed and in her most curt, military-style voice, Marielle addressed the aliens.
"I humbly accept your welcome in the name of God, and Her most valued servant, her Imperial Majesty, the Empress of Yiffieria Prime. We come in the name of exploration and science, to learn more of your species, your culture, and your world. We are not here to wage war. We come in peace."

Katt's attention was fully on the alien that had spoken. Her ears were perked up, and her tail swayed back and forth. She was most curious about these new aliens, they looked like the people of Kolob, but they had pointed ears. She had of 'God' before, but wondered who 'her Imperial Majesty, the Empress of Yiffieria Prime' was. It must be their ruler....or something like that. Then one of her ears twitched as she remembered something. She HAD heard of 'Yiffieria' once before, from her own ruler back on her home world. She couldn't quite remember why her old ruler had mentioned them though. She cast a sideways glance at Tasha, wondering if her pet was picking up on any of her thoughts, she knew Liz's could. She looked back to the alien, thoughts of her home planet flashing through her mind, tying to settle on where she had heard of these aliens before. All she could think of however, were all the bad moments she had with her old ruler. Her ears lowered a little, and the mean expression seemed to grow worse as sadness settled in her heart. She still missed her old home, even after all that had happened, and it made her even more sad to know that. She had hoped that being here and getting to know the people who lived here would help ease that sadness. As the sad feeling got deeper, a shot of pain went through her bad leg. Her tail twitched with the pain, and she winced. She shifted her weight again, taking all her weight off her right leg, wondering only briefly why it was bothering her more than usual today.
Liz watched as the aliens came off the ship with some worry. She was mostly watching Katt, noticing that her friend was acting different than normal.
These aliens are making her think of her home. She is very sad right now.
Liz almost jumped, she had forgot that Dawn could pick up on her own thoughts. So Katt was sad, that explained why she seemed different. She saw Katt shift her weight, and looked to Dawn.
"Her leg?"
It's been hurting more than it normally does lately. She is most worried about it.
Liz looked back to her friend. "I'm worried about it too, I thought maybe that I was imagining things when I noticed her limp was worse." Dawn said nothing to this, she rubbed against Liz's neck. Liz raised her had and petted Dawn, knowing that her furry friend was trying to make her feel better.

The president stepped slightly forward. "We are happy to welcome you to Kolob please join us for a feast and we can have someone give you a tour if you like."
Once all the formalities were done the general gave the others a nod and they could slide out of the line and go up to some of the aliens.
Po had mentioned to Tasha that Katt seemed to have a recollection of the Yifferians. Intrigued Tasha moved toward Katt to find out what she might now in more depth. "I don't want to take you away cause your presence is good for this gathering but Po tells me you might know something about these aliens. Anything you could tell me would be helpful. I don't trust them.
Alexis' Jewel had also noticed Katt's knowledge but since Tasha was taking care of it she didn't want to interfere. She just watched the aliens carefully and continued with jewel to try and read their thoughts and find out more about their true goals.

Marielle was eager to take the alien leader up on her offer of a tour. Her marines were also trained in intelligence gathering, so having a few of them accompany her while the others mingled with the curious aliens would be beneficial to the overall mission. From all the excited drivel these aliens would heap upon them, Marielle and her marines could quickly discern these aliens' strengths, weaknesses, and origins. Still, Marielle wasn't stupid. She could tell Tasha and some of the other aliens were a bit wary of her and her fellow Yiffierians; as were their little pets. Marielle was beginning to sense those little creatures were smarter than their cute, cuddly little bodies lead her to believe. She had to chose her words and actions carefully, knowing full well that one false move could not only endanger the mission, but the lives of her crew. Twenty-six marines, 18 astronauts, 12 airmen, and two fighting vehicle crews were no match for a hundred aliens; especially if their ship was shot down here, in the atmosphere.
"I would be delighted to have a tour," Marielle said with a smile, keeping her ears pricked in alert. Scanning the crowd, her eyes caught sight of an alien, different from all the rest, that seemed to have animal paws in place of feet, animal ears, and a tail. She couldn't help but cock her ears in curiosity. What's one of her kind doing here? thought Marielle to herself. She gave the alien a funny look.

The president noticed her glance. "I see you noticed Katt. She crashed on Kolob not long ago and has been a great help fixing things. She has a gift for mechanical things. I see she is talking to Tasha at the moment but I am sure both of them would be happy to show you around." The president said cheerfully.

Katt gave a quick look towards Tasha, and hoped her sadness didn't show to much.
"I heard of them once before from my old ruler." she looked back to the lead alien, who seemed to be looking at her funny. "I can't seem to remember what we were talking about at the time....my memories are stuck on the bad."
She frowned thinking again. "Maybe it was something bad that we were talking about....or at least my ruler viewed it as bad." Then her mind settled on the right memory, and her ears perked up a little.
"Yea, that was it....my ruler mentioned a race that was going from planet to planet. They would claim peace, and would convince the planet's to sign a treaty with them. However, once you signed the treaty, they viewed you as subjects to their top ruler...which I'm guessing is this 'Imperial Majesty, the Empress of Yifferia Prime'." she looked back to Tasha the lead aliens look making her feel uncomfortable. "At least that's how my ruler worded it. She may have twisted the truth, around that same time she was trying to pass a law that would make it to where our planet would no longer have anything to do with other planet's." her ears lowered again, despite everything she missed talking to her old ruler "We had little dealings to do with other planet's to begin with, the last ruler had passed a law to start trade with other planets not even five years before she died." her ears lowered more, the death of that ruler had been hard on her.
"That had been my idea, I had been surprised when she passed it.....and then when my si- uh the new ruler wanted to over ride it, I debated against it." she lowered her gaze, she had almost let slip something more dear to her heart than anything else "I was sent away for my troubles." Katt looked away, but kept her gaze to the ground, she didn't want to look at the lead alien anymore. She cursed herself for almost saying what her relation to the current ruler of her planet was. Then she remembered the promise she had made to the ruler who had died, and cursed herself again.
I'm sorry mother, I couldn't keep that promise.....sister changed somehow when she took over, and there was nothing I could do about it.
Then she realized she had babbled, and felt shame. "Sorry, you probably only wanted to hear about the Yifferians. I ended up going on about laws and rulers."

Tasha's gaze softened. "I don't mean to pry but your mind is practically screaming at me. I can read what you are thinking even without po's help. I didn't know we had royalty in our midst." She said it lightly trying not to upset the girl. She wasn't good at this kind of thing. She looked around for Liz or Alexis. Alexis was a lot better with people than she was and Liz was Katt's closest friend.
Alexis sensed eyes on her and saw Tasha looking her way. She strode over and also caught the stray thoughts from Katt. "Oh my! I had no idea. I can't believe I didn't sense it before. I really don't mean to but in but I hope we can make you feel better."

Katt looked to the two woman and gave a small smile. "I try not to think about it too much." She looked to Alexis "I feel better just knowing that people here accept me, and care about my feelings." she looked back to Liz, then to Tasha. She rubbed at her neck feeling nervous talking about things that were more personal. "I....I am the oldest of the two children my mother had." She smiled wider, talking about it helped her feel better. "My sister is two years younger than me....but I didn't think I would make a good ruler." she realized that she hadn't spoken of her home world at all since on Kolob, except to explain where she was from when she crashed here. "I should have told you when I first came here, but I didn't think of it as important.....Or perhaps I was too hurt at the time." she meant more than her knee, she had been hurt emotionally as well. Katt looked back to Liz, she hadn't even told her friend of her past, not even when the human had asked about the picture she had. She had just told Liz that it was a picture of her family, which was true. She looked back to Tasha "I hope what I remember about the Yifferians helps a little."
Liz had picked up on all of Katt's thoughts, and had felt to stunned to move until she saw Tasha looking around for her. She walked up to the small group and looked to her friend, knowing Katt was sorry for not telling her. Once she arrived Katt looked to her and smiled, and Liz almost gasped. She had never seen her friend smile in such a way, it was as if she was....happier. Keeping her past to herself had most likely added a burden to her that effected the way she had smiled before. Liz smiled back, and then noticed how one of the aliens was looking at her friend. She looked to Tasha.
Tasha, one of the aliens is looking at Katt in a funny way.

Marielle's mind suddenly clicked as she recognized the alien with the tail. This species was relatively new to interstellar space flight, much like Tasha's species. Some years ago, their ruler sent ships out into deep space seeking the possibility of interstellar trade. Then, the ships returned home, never to appear again. There had been talk of sending a mission to these aliens, but the Empress was unimpressed with the idea. According to her, the aliens possessed nothing of value, and such a mission would be a waste of resources at a time when astronomers were studying a world that held far greater potential and far greater risks.
Katt, she thought to herself.
Realizing the alien noticed her staring, Marielle stepped forward.
"My apologies," she said with a smile. "You must be the one they call 'Katt'. It is a pleasure to meet you."

Katt faced the alien, she had sensed her coming, but was still surprised that she would come to talk to her.
"It is a pleasure to meet you as well. It seems that you know my name, but I don't know yours."
She wondered briefly if these aliens could read minds. If so they were on a higher level than those on Kolob.
Liz wasn't surprised that the alien came over, she had been looking at Katt in a weird way. She suddenly felt nervous, and worry for her friend.
Don't worry, Katt can take care of herself. she looked sideways to Dawn. Her furry friend was right, Katt seemed to know exactly how to handle herself in this kind of situation. That surprised Liz more than the alien coming to talk with Katt had.

His dreams were changing again. Foreign forces were pressing against his subconscious. It was not something new, after slumbering in the cold stasis for such a long time Shar-Khag had grown some what use to the strange sensations he had felt while on this world. He would often see images, feel sensations or impulses. When ever he tried to reach out to these forces they would ether slip away or cause the Nelaka in his nerves to become agitated. So for the most part he left them alone and ignored them when he could.
That was until some time ago when new entities were thrown into the mix. they had started out small, like little whispers that he could occasionally hear in the background. Then they started to get louder, like an annoying buzzing. The new sensations mixed with the old ones and caused his 'dreams' to suddenly become more sporadic. This caused his sleep to become restless as the stimuli agitated his Nelaka. Now, another batch of unknown impulses had just been added, and they made the neurons in his brian to get up and dance, literally.
Finally he could take the spontaneous images no more, and his mind was slowly forced awake and out of the numbing effects of the stasis chamber. Slowly and groggily, Shar-khag placed his hand against the capsules control systems. From his wrist the worm like Nelaka in his nerves slivered out and into the control pad. A few quick sparks neural electricity from the parasites into the circuits and the energy field dissipated, allowing to move and think more clearly. He stretched for a moment, trying to relieve the stiffness that had set into his limbs, before moving to push the hatch open. He crawled out of the stasis module gradually. His mind was still drowsy and he was still trying to stretch his limbs out.
When he finally got his bearings he had to blink, twice. He stood on a branch hundreds of feet off the ground. In front and all around him lay a huge forest. This was not what caused him to be surprised. What cause him to be surprise was, last he checked, his capsule had been placed on the ground, in a barren field. Not up and wedged in the trunk of a gigantic tree. In order for all of this plant life to have grown here, he would have had to have been in stasis for a very long, long time. How long have I been out?
He made a low whistling sound, his kind's equivalent to a sigh, and lowered himself till all six of his limbs where pressed against the trees trunk. His claws slide out and dug into the bark and he began his climb down. He needed to find the distress beacon he had set up and see if it was still in working order. That and maybe find out what was interfering with his sleep.
Today was going to be a long day.

Once the alien and Liz had come up Alexis had politely dismissed herself and went off. Now Alexis was the only one standing off to the side and she had her mind open and active sensing to try and catch any errant thought in case these aliens might be duplicitous. That is why she and Jewel were the only ones who noticed when Shar-Khag emerged. Of course neither knew who or what he was, only that there was suddenly a new and strange consciousness and it wasn't that far away. Alexis looked around. Tasha was busy talking with Katt and the alien and liz. She was good at scouting so sent a mental message to po that she would be checking out something she had sensed. Before he could warn Tasha or give an objection, she was gone.
She moved almost like mist over the hills and then into the forest. Coming closer and closer to the strange presence she had felt.
About then Po finally managed to tell Tasha but Tasha was too worried about the alien leader to go after Alexis. She sent a message back telling her to be careful. Alexis didn't answer back but Tasha got a sense that at least Jewel had heard her and would keep Alexis safe.

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
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
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
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
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.
