Pretext
Twelve years ago Twenty-One Colony Ships were leaving the home solar system when a freak rift in space made them vanish. No one knew what happened to them and until an answer could be found the Extra-Solar Colonial Efforts were shut down. Some people said Betrayal, others, accdients or Alien Attacks. But the remnants of the ESCE (Extra-Solar Colonial Efforts) managed to force the Systems Government to allow them to construct a ship to explore the surrounding systems and find out what happened to the Twenty One Colonial Ships.

The Valkyrie
The Valkyrie, a massive ship was constructed to find the lost colonial ships. Since the ESCE had no idea what had happened to them The Valkyrie was built to handle everything from planetary colonization, stasis containment to ship ti ship combat. It is capable of firing 184 depleted Uranium Shells a minute for approximatly twelve hours. It also has a highly experimental Zero Point Jump Module, allowing it to move through distances of up to 1.73 Lightyears in a couple of minutes.

The ships appearance is of two saucers which stick out of a square metal block which contains the Zero-Point Jump Module, the Atmosphere/Gravity Field (AG Field) Generator, and the ship's main computer, Icarus. It has an old disused mainfraim from when it was a colony ship under construction.

This was the theory that Military training since childhood would reinforce the drills and oppinions of the Military. They were successful with Julia, because when she was Eight, she was abducted. When her Abducters, a group who thought that the children would be grateful for their freedom thought she was "freed," they let her out for a walk, she reported them and was taken back to the camp.

...
Gaia Name: Miles Archer
Name: Martin Kaye
Gender: Male
Age: 46
Race: Human
Rank: Adjutor (political rank, not military)
Job: Overseer
Personality: Martin is a somewhat cold, aloof man, and a stickler for bureaucracy and policy. He's calm until things get desperate. If things aren't running smoothly, he gets nervous. He can be callous, and is more than a littly pompous. He will use his political power as leverage on almost anyone. He frequently butts heads with high-ranking officers in the military, and lacks the maturity to back down, though he is usually cautious enough to avoid confrontations in the first place.
Appearance: Martin is a thin, reedy man, standing about 5'10". He has mostly black hair neatly streaked with gray, and his icy blue eyes betray no hint of sympathy for anyone he does not feel is worthy. He tends towards finer dress, but never wears anything too flashy and never looks out-of-place, except perhaps in the slums or in a field.
Bio: Martin was raised by politician parents, had older siblings who became politicians, and was educated by politicians. He quickly rose through the hierarchy until he became an Adjutor, which was only natural, considering his father's prestige as a High Senator. He was assigned to oversee the activities on the Valkyrie, and make sure everything runs smoothly. He is hoping to rise to fame and achieve the same position as his father. Once he becomes High Senator,he has very ambitious plans. But, alas, that must wait.
Others: (This is purely optional, and if you don't like it, I'll remove the idea) He has been secretly implanted with a sleeper chip that will cause him to instate himself into the government of the colony once it is established. The government of the planet that is sending him wants control of the colony, and since he isn't aware of the chip, Martin is the perfect puppet.

Others: Let's play a game!

The ESCE wanted someone on the Valkyrie to represent their interests, and act as a scientific advisor to the military crew.

Age: 23
Race: Human
Rank: Ensign
Job: Engineering (mechanics and computer maintenace a.k.a. "fetch girl")

Bio: From the age of ten and on, Giz grew up adopted by the Vallen family who were known supporters of A.I. research and developement and often spoke out against injustices. The influence has led her to become a bit headstrong at times, her parents also managed to keep her level-headed compared to others her age surprisingly. In her "younger years", Giz (a nickname given to her when she was a street brat) was sent to the principal's office for every reason from being bullied to getting even with bullies. Originally she joined the millitary with a buddy, now that her buddy is dead from the an accident she is still in the millitary unable to get out of duties. Despite whatever discomforts from being closely watched may present, Giz is top of her class when it comes to fixing things and rewriting programs. The scar on her back, which she tends to hide well, is the result of an accident from when she was still livng on the streets or so she says to anyone who asks.
Others: Has a pleasant singing voice and like old books. Oh and she once had a cat named Jupiter when she was a child.

Julia stood on the ships bridge and watched as the technicians briught th ebridge consoles up to full power. She kept getting the feeling that some god-awful elevator music was being played in a way so she could not use it. But that was the feeling she always got from waiting for a ship she was on to launch. She felt like jumping up and down, then someone tapped her on the shoulder she whirled around. "Yes?" she asked.
"Can I see you in the Command Debreifing Room, Nightshade?" Fleet Commander Gerard Stone asked.

"Julia, I was not impressed on you forcing those traitors to surrender." The Fleet Commander said, his bald head shiny with sweat. "Sir, with all due respect the Military High Command said that I took the best possibkle action resulting in lowest loss of life."
Gerard sneered, "You mean the traitorous scum? I want you off the mission!"
"Sir," Julia said coldly, "High Command has locked me into place. You can't keep me from Commanding this vessle."
Gerards enormous nostrils flared, "WHAT!!! ARE YOU DEFYING AN ORDER!?"
Julia almost pitied the shocked look on his face, "I will be Commanding this ship when it leaves port, and thats final."
Gerard seemed to regain his cool, and as he was walking out, "I will have Order 2345 pulled on you. Upon completion of this mission you will no longer be a member of the military." Then he left the bridge. Julia slumped into on of the Command crews fluffy chairs and put her head in her hands. She didn't even want to think about last year... and the inncident that the Fleet Commander had been talking about.

Korisho goes and entered the bridge and he goes and walks over to his place. Then he started to check the systems. "75% of the weapon systems are ready for battle. Ma'm" He said to Julia and he goes and walks over to her chain and stands nexto to her. "So when do you think we are going to find on our trip?" He asked her.

((What is her rank?))

(Sorry, She is Admiral.)
Julia had walked out of the Debreifing Room still shaken when Korisho spoke to her, she almost jumped out of her skin. "What? Oh, we will be leaving port soon..." Julia said, trying to regain her composier. "It could be anywhere between a couple of hours and a day." Julia started walking to Icarus's main display. "Icarus," Julia said calmly.
"Yes Admiral Julia Nightshade," the computer replied in it's dull electronic boice. "When will we be leaving port?" Julia asked.
"We could leave now. All you have to do is give the order, Ma'am." Icarus said. Julia felt the need to suppress a smile, the sooner the Valkyrie jumped to another system the better. "Will we be able to Jump?"
"Please rephrase your question."
"Will we be able to engage the Zero Point Jump Module?" Julia asked, cursing the computer. "Yes Ma'am. Do you want me to assign locking in Co-ordinates top proirity."
"Yes Icarus."
"Where do you want to jump?"

Julia sighed, "We could leave now Liutenant Commander. Icarus, aim for last recorded Spacial Rift readings."
"Please re-phrase question."
"Lock onto where-ever the Spacial rift that took the Colonial Ships was last detected."
"Locking onto Black Hole that obliterated Colonial Probe #0721."
"NO!"
Julia opened her notebook, "Lock onto spacial Co-ordinates 01- Negative 3- 12." She resited the maximun range in the direction where strange energy signals had been detected. The source was long gone but it would be a good place to start scouring space for more than Three Hundred Million Missing People.

Korisho watched and he nods. "I Adrimal," then he went and got to his station and he waits. "All weapon systems are online and ready Ma,m.

"Icarus is running fine and no problems detected. Admiral." Tex's voice blared over the intercomm, he was in the central computer hub scanning through Icarus's systems for a final pretakeoff check.
PostPosted: Thu Jun 28, 2007 4:34 pm


Julia stepped away from Icarus's Bridge Interface and went to the front part of the bridge, the pilots were dessed in their red uniforms. "Fire up the engines, boys," she said, hoping that neither of them were girls. "I want this ship to be at least four hundred kilometres away from the docks when we jump."
"Aye Aye, Commander," one of the pilots said.
The ship started moving, it was moving fast but the fact it had it's own gravity generators meant that the speed couldn't be felt onboard.

A couple of minutes passed. "Admiral," the other pilot said, taking off his helmet because the Valkyrie was no longer facing the sun for long periods of time, it was pointed in the oppoisite direction. The consol started beeping. "Admiral," Icarus's dull voice said, "Co-ordinates are locked, should I send down the order to power up the Zero Point Jump Module?"
"Yes," Julia said.
"Warning, pre-system check must be run before Zero Point Jump Module activates. Running Tests."
"Tex?" Julia said, hitting the bridge-central computer hub intercomm. "Icarus is going to jump, I'd strap myself down in there." She deactivated the Intercom. "Korisho, if the Depleted Uranium Cannons are ready can we hav a test fire once we are in the Alpha Proximas System?"

Tex laughed to himself and muttered. "Trust me I'm better off in here than you." He was completely strapped into a chair that allowed him to access many different systems at once on the holoprojector he'd set up. After a few minutes, he accessed the intrcomm. "Admiral, prejump check complete. Zero Point Jump int T-minus twenty seconds."
PostPosted: Thu Jun 28, 2007 9:22 pm


Julia sighed, "Okay People," she said in a calm and authoritive voice. "Now on most occasions people expect formal speechs." Julia smiled, "Well I say screw that and jump."
"Activating Zero Point Jump Module, saftey shut down of all non-vital systems. Preparing for Lightspeed Transfer."

The sound of thunder ripped through the ship and everything out side the window blurred. Icarus's main console played an old song. "We only think in forms of crunching numbers..." was all Julia caught before everything went back to normal. The Lights went back on, "We are now in high orbit above the Alpha Proxima Star." Icarus said, "Scanning system for Colonial ID signatures. No ID detected, no abnormal energy detected, preparing second jump to pre-set co-ordinates."

"Tex, can you check the data banks for any rec music that might've be installed from the P.Cs in the crew quaters?"

Korisho nods, "Depleted Uranium Cannons are ready for the test fire. Ma'm. Just give me the order and I will light up the night sky." He said as he smirked.

"Already checked Admiral. There are way too many songs to check. I think it may have accidentally downloaded to Icarus, should I dlete them from= the harddrive?" As he waited for an answer he checked all vital systems to make sure nothing was damaged in the jump, or if too much memory had been taken up. Even though Icarus had almost 600 Terrabytes, Tex wanted to be sure.

(Sorry for vanishing... stupid dying computer....)

"Yes Korisho, you can blind us all with the cannons." Julia said, "Besides, I want to see what this ship can do in a firefight." She sat down on a nearby chair before hitting the intercom, "Just put those songs back where they belong if possible Seargent. If not, delete them..." Then Julia added, as an afterthought, "and if they belong to you store them somewhere else. Like the old disused mainfraim I think is lying around in the lower saucer somewhere."

Julia pulled an old pair od sunglasses out of the pocket in the front of her blue uniform's shirt, "Fire at your discretion Korisho."

"I Captin" then he actives all weapons. "Firing now" then, he goes and fires all of the ship's cannons to yest them. Then he stops firing. "All weapons are good Ma'm. We can fight our way out of anything." Then he goes and looks at the Adrimal.

Julia smiled, "Good," she said simply. "Oh yeah," she suddeny remembered something that the Fleet Command had told her to do. "Korisho," she handed him a piece of paper with an access code written on it, "Icarus has more weaponary than that, but these... special bombs need at least two of these codes to work. And they're personalized so that one only works if you speak it." Julia then said in a more serious tone, "And I hope there is no occasion to use the... bombs."

"Icarus."
"Yes Admiral?"
"When Tex finishes this maintanance on your memory start a four minute countdown, then jump to the co-ordinates."
"What does 'JUMP' mean?"
"Just activate the Zero Point Jump Module, Icarus."
