RPG Into the White

[FONT="Century Gothic"][COLOR="Navy"]Lee walked around him, her eyes focused on him, watching his every movement.
"You smell shifty, how do we know we can trust you?"
He blinked.
"Smell? What are you- Look do you agree or not?"
Lee growled a warning at him.
"Watch it buddy, your on our territory."
She heard a loud rush of air behind her and realized Lance was also checking him over.
"You seem suspisous. I don't trust you."
He frowned and looked at the others; Lee sighed and walked back over to where Lance was and stood between him and okryuu. She sniffed the air and growled softly.
"I don't like this."
"It's not up to us, it's the captians jobs to choose what the next move is. Its their ships."
Lee sighed and sat down, her hands between her knees, her knees tucked behind her arms, much like a dogs fashion of sitting. She stared at the young man for a long time before she took a deep breath and waited.[/COLOR][/FONT]



Sorry for shortness, making dinner.

[Ol' Fighter]

Mat-tsu welcomed them onto the pirates' ship he had boarded showing them the data that was on it.

"I know that all of this seems fishy and I know I smell of blood but believe me this is not my doing", Mat-tsu said sitting down beside a dead body.

"I boarded this ship only to hitch a rid into space to find out some information on the vamtyrs and while aboard this ship it was infiltrated by some vamtyrs which lead to this...slaughter but after I destroyed them a dying pirate told me to check something and that there are people like me who want nothing more but the destruction of the Vamtyrs", Mat-tsu continued reading over the data.

"Here is the data about some weird uncharted planet near Hak 'tuk that has some kind of connection with the Vamtyrs a possible supplier or something but I think it's worth checking out", he said still reading the data.

"Oh, and LEE and Heartwell your origin seems a lot like something that of the work that my father and mother did, they were some sort of scientist if I remember correctly, I myself was told that I was born and created from...well maybe I'll explain that later...it's far to complicated at this point in time", Mat-tsu said turning away from them.

"But, I hope that we can work together on this", he continued holding his hand out.

[Akieen Cloud]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Lee growled at him as he mentioned her enhancement.
"How could you possibly be like Lance and I?"
She listened as he told her again that it was to difficult to explain.
"You know way to much about me and he others. I say your just in it for you."
She stood up and jumped up into the sails and lay down on her back looking up.
"Do what you want, Captians, but I'm not trusting him."
She heard someone laugh, not able to pin point the voice she simply lay there. Her black hair hanging off the sail rafter she was in, blowing back and forth. She blew a piece of the highlighted blood red hair out of her eyes and just listened. She shifted onto her back to avoid the large sword on her back digging into her spine and pulled off her cap and sunglasses, her unnatural yellow eyes focusing in on Mat'tsu, she didn't trust him but something told her that he had information that they might need. She took a deep breath and let it out. Sitting up she stradled the pole and then jumped down. She took his hand and gave it a quick shake.
"This doesn't mean I trust you, you just keep jabbering on about how youo have information we might need, think of this as a truce so I don't bite the hand off."
She let go and sat back down beside Lance and sighed again.
"You seem bothered."
"Still don't trust him."
"You do know that it's human custom it seems that two people that do not like one another will be the ones to fall in love the hardest."
Lee snorted.
"Yeah right, it'll be a miracle if I don't rip out his throat."
Lance chuckled deeply and shook his head, the thick mane bouncing with the movement.
"What?"
"I just have this feeling I'm right."
She growled and heaved a sigh.
"He's not even attractive."
He shook his head again and Lee could shake the feeling of an older brother teasing a younger sister. She smiled slightly and shook her body all the way down she looked up at Lance and let her smile linger.
"Whatever."
He didn't act as if he heard her but she knew that he had, for the first time since the accident at her original home she felt as if she could smile and not worry about it being wiped away by something bad.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Ol' Fighter]

"Not trusting someone you just met is one-hundred percent natural", said Mat-tsu sneeking behind Lee.

"But hear me out on this, the Vamtyrs are foul beings who need to be wiped from the plate of existence...", Mat-tsu said with a little anger in his voice.

"I feel that I must atleast tell someone this and that someone should be you because we are kind of similar...we don't know who we truly are...all I know is my name and who raised me I don't...remember anything else...I was raised by a swordsman, a swordswoman I should say who taught me the ways of the warrior but for some reason I fell as if I'm no true warrior...I fell kind of like a coward...like I'm forgetting something that I have to do...something that I don't know about...but am afraid to do it I...just don't understand...but besides that what about you Lee...", he said looking her in her eyes.

".......you smell funny....", replied Lee smiling a liitle.

"What, I smell funny...I took a shower, is it my breath or...", he replied smelling himself all over.

OOC: Since I wasn’t aware of the situation change, having been waiting for Lilt to post, I will fill in the timeline gaps where I can.
________________________________________________________________________

~Alutri Arrow, second docking ring as the ships were transferring crews to talk~

[I]To think I almost had to get my ship bloodied up like this a few times keeping myself from getting ripped off. And since when do they put a bounty on repair crews, all I do is fix ships and call in when I spot a pirate.[/I] Martel thought, moving clumsily through the docking ring in the gravity- she was used to her ship having it’s gravity disabled in that area so she could float gracefully through the cramped rings.

Looking out the side port she caught sight of the burst condenser plate again, and clenched her fist and teeth before moving forward, still not used to having gravity inside the docking ring as she followed the newcomers

~Pirate Ship, meeting room, after the comments about lee's smell~

“In any case, it would be more to the point to actually transfer this file into each of our ship’s computers so we captains can analyze it and discuss it privately with our respective crews before deciding what to do next. I don’t know about you guys, but after my last round of rabble rousing I have had enough of that. I just want to sail the stars and fix ships.” Martel remarked loudly, breaking the silence that had ensued in the room. She was very unnerved by all of this; the stench of drying blood was bothering her.

“I’ll be completely honest here, I am going way beyond what I normally do. I will usually only fix a ship and collect my repair fees, and then I am on my way to my next service call. I’ve missed 10 customers already because I have had to haul that powerless ship somewhere to get fuel rods for it, and I do hope you guys can afford the rods I gave you since they aren’t free.” She continued, starting to rant and bitch because she was upset. “I want nothing to do with getting rid of the vamtyrs, though I will fix any ships damaged in the battle for 25% off since the vamtyrs are a nuisance to free trade.”

She stepped heavily on the floor plates, and left the room, headed back to her ship. “You guys do whatever, when you are done let me know so I can turn the gravity back on in the docking rings. I don’t like moving through them with gravity, since I am a bit clumsy.”

~Alutri Arrow, bridge~

Sitting back in her chair, looking at the stars again while the other captains conversed onboard the strange pirate ship, Martel still was rather moody. She was not happy about the delays, nor was she very pleased about having been marked as a bounty- she would see to it that she got paid and then would address the bounty issue.

The radio crackled to life, apparently a ship had been destroyed by pirates and a man in an escape pod had drifted nearby.
“KN1-001 Alutri Arrow answering your 909. I have you on visual, and will attempt to retrieve you to cargo lock 3.”

“Roger, aim for the support backpack so you don’t puncture the capsule suit.” Came a young man’s voice, along with the power hum of one of the remaining grappling hooks reaching towards the capsule suit life pod. It caught it, and soon brought him to one of the airlocks.

~Alutri Arrow, Cargo Lock 3~

Martel stood there impatiently as the young man that was inside the life pod opened the hatch and climbed out. She was used to this too, picking up survivors after a wreck and delivering them to the various stations where they would make their way home on the commercial passenger ships.

“Identify please.” Martel said as soon as he was standing near the pod, apparently having a small backpack that he brought with him.

“Odin M Renegade; Copilot, mechanic, cook, and chaplain of the late KN2-1701D long-range cargo. And you are?”

“Martel Alutri, captain of KN1-001 Alutri Arrow. But no kidding- you were a crew member on a KN2 long range cargo?”

“Yes, did that for several years. Actually knew more about that ship than the mechanic that was hired to keep it running. Pity it’s gone now, pirates attacked and by the time all was said and done the glorious ship wasn’t even worth selling for scrap metal. They even took the airlock, which is why you found me in this instead of the dead hull of that ship. But what of yourself, you said KN1… That was the prototype of the KN2, and there was only ever one built, which back when my ship was bought they said the KN1 had been given to it’s designer, who was now somewhere in space with it.”

“Yes, this is the only KN1 in existence, KN1-001, and I am the designer of the KN series. You were not lied to.” Martel answered. “But anyway, I am headed for Deep Heaven Station with this customer’s ship in tow, since he lacks fuel rods.”

“I noticed the ruptured condenser plate while I was outside actually.” Odin commented. “ I almost think, that if we can catch up to the KN2-1701D, you can strip out the condenser plates from it, the pirates didn’t take them, nor did they take the fuel rods since they didn’t have any empty shipping shields to put them in.”

“I have four empty rod holders, if I can ever get rid of these clingons I’ll likely grab anything that is left in there.” Martel commented. “Well, welcome aboard. I suppose since you know a good bit you can help out with my mechanic business until you decide where to get off. Just be warned, I am going to work you until you can’t stand with normal gravity active.”
“I expect no less, your reputation precedes you by 20 light-years.” Odin remarked, follwing Martel towards the bridge.

[Akieen Cloud]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Lee shook her head and let a sarcastic smile play on her lips.
"Like a engine and smoke."
He blinked alittle and looked himself over. He was clean from his shower.
"What do you mean?"
"You also smell heavily of blood. I can smell things pretty well, wether you've taken a shower or not. And as for me, I know who I am and I know where I came from. I just don't remember my parents or anything that resembles a family."
She tapped his cheek lightly, her smile still in place.
"Also, you can't sneak up on me, I can hear well too."
She stood up and began to walk around the ship, everyone else had stayed or gone to the other ships by this time as she sniffed around.
"It seems as if there's something here."
She sniffed her way down to the ships kitchen as she had done before on the other and found her self looking at what resembled a meat locker. She blinked and walked into it heaving a giant sniff; with watering eyes she realized that the back was a smoke house. She covered her nose till she was used to the smell and began to sniff at the various pieces of meat.
"Who ever owned this ship before Mat'tsu liked meat...Lamb, Venison, Beef, Veal, Chicken."
She wrinkled her nose as a strong odor reached them.
"Is that Buffalo? Who in the name of hell eats this anymore? More importantly where did they find it?"
She sniffed it one more time before she went back above deck nearly running into Mat'tsu.
"What are still doing here? I thought all of you went back to the other ships."
"I wanted to look around, is that so bad?"
She frowned as she listened to her self talk, she was warming up to these people and didn't understand why, she had just met them and they knew nothing about her. She blinked as the thought went through her mind, she frowned more as she looked at him.
"Not only that I wanted to keep an eye on you to make sure you don't try to pull anything shifty."
"Fair enough, so are you kind of like this groups guard dog?"
She growled and pushed past him and back onto the deck where she found a spot and lay down watching him intently, his remark ringing in her ears reminding her why she hadn't trusted him in the first place. She growled quietly to herself as she grumbled.
"Jackass."
He looked her way and she bared her teeth at him and looked the other way not meeting his eyes. Her curiosity and relaxed mood now gone and her cold shoulder back in place.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Ol' Fighter]

"I shouldn't of had said that just now", Mat-tsu said in his mind now wondering the ship himself.

"Well I'd better clean this place up atleast before I move out again with these people", he stopped for a moment when saw something move from the corner of his eye.

"KKKKKKRRRRRRRYYYYYY",sreeched a vamtyr as it lunged itself at Mat-tsu.

"Ahhh...I knew there were more of these bastards in here", Mat-tsu said smacking the vamtyr's blade like arm out of his side with his sword, blood now slowly dripping on the floor.

"I smell...BLOOD", yelled Lee as she ran towads the scent fearing that it was one of her friends only to see Mat-tsu driving his sword cleanly threw the metalic creatures body.

"Oh...hey Lee, come to see the show", Mat-tsu said with a slight chuckle. Lee looked at Mat-tsu clearly seeing his injurie.

"I hope you bleed to death show-off", she said walking away.

[Akieen Cloud]

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][COLOR="Navy"]Lee was walking away when her ear twitched, she spun around growling loudly.
"I didn't say anything!"
Mat-tsu had his hands up as she ran at him, tackleing him she rolled to the side as another blade slammed into the floor of the ship.
"Presicley where did you get this fucking ship!?"
She stood on all fours and took off lunging at the creature, Mat-tsu's voice ringing in her ears.
"Are you nuts? You'll be killed!"
She held onto it tightly and drew her sword from her back, the first time in a long time she had drawn it. She let go and stood up compeletly shoving the sword straight down and through the screeching monster. She hopped off lightly as the machine hit the floor. She walked over to him and helped him up. Looking at the wound on his arm she frowned.
"That looks ugly. We should clean it off."
"Your being nice."
"I have that problem sometimes."
She drug him to the top and over to an old sail that was rolled up on the deck, she took her claws and shredded the sail and then ripped off the pieces and tied them tightly on his arm where the blood was coming from. She didn't look up at him till she as through.
"Don't thank me. I can't know what your planning if your dead."
She stood up and walked back to where the Vamtrys had attacked them to make sure they were gone. She leaned on the side of the door and looked down at the metalic beasts.
"So these are what they look like. Interesting."
She walked back onto the deck to see him still there.
"What?"[/COLOR][/FONT]

[Odin M Yggdrasi]

~Alutri Arrow, Cabin 3 (Across from Martel?s cabin, which is #1)~

?Martel, give me a hand with this please.? Odin remarked, lifting a crate out of the unused cabin that Martel had made a sort of storage area out of. They were cleaning it out so Odin could stay there.

?It?s easier if you just do this first.? Martel remarked, going to the control panel near the door and turning down the room?s gravity. Smiling, she picked up an even larger box with one hand and looked at a rather surprised Odin- who had just about thrown the crate he was lifting to the ceiling as she turned down the gravity.

?Of course you wouldn?t have known about that, that was a feature of the KN1 that was not implemented in the production versions for cost reasons. The prototype though had it, as per my design specifications, while the production versions the gravity generators had their controls tied together for each section and not independent like that.? She turned to hide her laugh at the surprised look on his face from the crate he was carrying having burst open to reveal some of her old clothing, a bra on top of the pile, and took the crate she had out to the hallway.

[I]This woman is weird, and kind of annoying. Is she really the genius who designed the KN-series craft?[/I] Odin thought, hastly packing the clothing back into the crate and following her to the cargo bay she had unlocked to put the stuff into. ?Hey wait up!?

~Alutri Arrow, Cargo bay 12~

?You can just put that there. And careful how you go, I have the gravity turned down along the entire route- it is still high enough to walk normally but is about half of what normal ship gravity is, if you jump you will hit the ceiling.? Martel chimed. It was not like her to take to somebody like this, but having found someone who knew about her she was rather excited

?It still feels weird to be lifting objects that my mind says are a lot heavier than they are when I actually lift them.? Odin remarked, stacking the crate he had brought with him and helping her rearrange the others to make more room. ?What is in all of these anyway??

?Clothes, tools, parts, in some of the other bays there is food and fuel, and one of the bays has no boxes- it is about half full of warm water, and serves as a swimming pool.?

?The KN2 had that bay as well, only ours the water was cold, and was used as a reservoir for clean water. I would assume you modified yours, but then where did you put the clean water storage??

?It uses the tanks in the room with the water and air filters, dunno if the KN2s had it but the KN1 uses waste heat from the reactor to filter and distill waste water into clean water for drinking and cleaning. Likely they disabled the feature in the KN2 to free up power for extra cruising speeds, since the reactor core in the KN2 is smaller than the KN1 core.?

?So that?s why those valves were closed and locked out. Neat.? Odin commented, following Martel back to Cabin 3 to get another load of crates. He stumbled briefly in the low gravity, before figuring out his stride to match it so he could walk freely.

[Darth Vectis]

[SIZE="1"]Brash'una listened to the information, when he had heard the word Hak' tuk he was instantly interested in all the information that this stranger had. He quickly established a link with Adun telling him upload all the information he had acquired and to record all of it concerning the Ash' Tar home world. Adun quickly downloaded the information and reported to Brash'una, telling him that it was complete and the significant information concerning Hak' tuk was ready for him to check. He relayed his confirmation to Adun and went to lances side and spoke to him through a closed psionic link.
[B][I][COLOR="Blue"]
"I have work to do, new information has called me to attention and I need to you stay here and make sure this new comer does no prove to be a threat."[/COLOR][/I][/B] Lance nodded at him.
[B]
"That will be easy enough to do. Make sure to hurry up, we need to collaborate on whether we should trust him."[/B] Brash'una nodded then tapped a button on his wrist devise and was warped back to Adun. He instantly started going through the information, checking all reference to Hak' tuk and what was going on. He knew he would have to send his people this information as soon as possible. He began using Micheal's ships long range transmission unit to contact the Ash' Tar people. With the added boost form his ship to get the live communications out to them. He connected with an Ash' Tar ship in his system after a few minutes of waiting and deciphering the data.
[B][I][COLOR="SeaGreen"]
"Who contacts Ash' Tar mothership Dra' shuk?"[/COLOR][/I][/B] Another Ash' Tar was on Aduns screen speaking in a demanding and some what overly superior tone. Brash'una stood hunched over his work and spoke without looking into the screen.

[B][I][COLOR="Blue"]"It is of no concern of you that you ask who is making contact, just find a general as soon as possible."[/COLOR][/I][/B]
[B][I][COLOR="SeaGreen"]
"You do not demand anything without proper authorization." [/COLOR][/I][/B]Brash'una looked up into the screen to look into the glowing pair of eyes that were this Ash' Tar warrior.
[COLOR="SeaGreen"][B][I]
"You will retrieve a general immediately, that is the orders of Brash'una."[/I][/B][/COLOR] The soldier instantly lost his nerve and scurried away form the screen with a meek 'yes sir'. Brash'una returned back to the data as he waited for a general to appear. When he heard a familiar voice speak to him, he instantly looked up and saw who it was. He bowed his head to his people's leader.
[COLOR="Blue"][I][B]
"Master Adun, it is a pleasure to see you sir. It is Brash'una reporting in with vital information."[/B][/I][/COLOR] Brash'una heard a chuckle from the other Ash' Tar.
[B][I]
[COLOR="DarkRed"]"Please Brash'una, we are equals. After all, you are the infamous Commander Brash'una. I should be bowing my head to you instead of you to me."[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Blue"]
"I have done nothing that another wouldn't have. I am simply a soldier who knows how to think. Nothing more."[/COLOR][/I][/B] He said modestly. Another chuckle came out of the thoughts of Adun.
[B][I]
[COLOR="DarkRed"]"Very well then, commander, what do you have to report to us?[/COLOR]"
[COLOR="Blue"]
"The Vamtyr are in our home system. This new information I have received tells us of a planet not to far from Hak' tuk that have Vamtyr on there. From these records and information displayed before me. They have been there for some time, and from the last reading, it seems like they are preparing for an invasion with all the units they had massed there."[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]"Is this information accurate."[/COLOR]
[COLOR="Blue"]
"I cannot say, but with Hak'tuk in jeopardy it is worth looking into." [/COLOR][/I][/B]Adun pondered it for a few moments, Brash'una was already getting ready to send the file to him when he spoke.
[B][I]
[COLOR="DarkRed"]"Very well, send me the information and we will inspect this planet. Hopefully your information is wrong. If it isn't we will send several ships back to Hak'tuk to help stave off the threat that might be impending."[/COLOR]

[COLOR="Blue"]"Thank you sir. When we meet in person I will tell you my strategy I have developed after seeing these creatures fight the past several weeks."[/COLOR]

[COLOR="DarkRed"]"Very well, Adun out."[/COLOR][/I][/B] The screen instantly turned off and Brash'una sat down in the cockpit chair. He tapped a few buttons on his chair arm and a holographic screen appeared in front of him that showed the most recent scans of the planet. He could see very easily that the planet had been ravaged and that there was a massive army being built up. He knew it must have been to eliminate the Ash' Tar, and judging by the size of their force, they would of had to known of the Ash' Tar for quite some time now.

He relaxed in his chair and sighed as he prepared his strategy for the up coming battle, and possibly the full scale war that might arise from this Vamtyr intrusion. Hopefully Adun would not be hurt in the process of checking the planet, if he was it would send the Ash' Tar people into a frenzy and force them to take irrational decisions. Brash'una could only image the carnage and the sheer destruction there would be as he formulated his plan on his screens all around him.[/SIZE]

OOC: Since things haven't been moving at all lately, i thought i would give it just small nudge, hopefully Starwind posts in the near future[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[Lilt]

[COLOR=Navy][FONT=Book Antiqua][B]OOC: Yeah I am going to give this a little nudge too. In fact, I am going to skip the station for my posts, but if anyone wants to mention it a bit more in their posts then they can.

Also, we will all need to split up in groups because of what is going to happen soon. (Read on and you will see.)

[/B]Loreley smiled at Michael. What he had done was very generous. He had bought her a small spaceship. However, since she didn't know how to pilot one, he bought a ship that had enough room for a crew of four. Okyruu and Eli, nude like Loreley was, thanked Michael for the ship. It was decided that they would go with Loreley to help her man her new ship, and she and all of the others would split up. Things weren't going so well with all of them together, so Lorely thought that if they all split up into groups it would go better. That way they could work on destroying the vamtyr threat sooner than they hoped and would not break up as a team in anger.

Michael followed them aboard the ship to show them around. However, after a serving of milk, Okryuu and Loreley paid no attention. Michael however, interrupted and took Okryuu's spot. Elie helped save Okryuu's seed as he watched the two of them. When they were all done, Michael left the ship. He took off in his own, and messaged Loreley and her crew.
"Just follow me, I will take you to where you need to go. What was the plan again though?" He asked.
But before Loreley could answer, a vamtyr ship started to attack Michael's ship. Loreley tried to get closer to help, but he ordered her to stop.
"No! Don't worry about me, I will lead them away!"
With tears in her eyes, Loreley watched as he flew off. Hoping he would be okay, she messaged the others to tell them her plan.

[B]OOC: Okay guys, what we will do is split into groups to explore the different kingdoms. PM me if you need help deciding on where you can explore. Also, Loreley can tell them the plan on the station or over the radio. It's up to you guys. Sorry for my absence. Let's get this thing rolling again.[/B]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Lee watched as the others went to the ships that they were planning on staying on, she stayed with Mat-tsu and ran to the end of the deck as she heard shots being fired.
"Damnit! Mat-tsu we need to get this heap of shit moving!"
He stood up and ran to the control room and fired the ship up getting it to move when Lorley's voice came over the com link between the ships.
"We're splitting up, stay out of trouble, Lee keep an eye on Mat-tsu; make sure he's not selling us out, you saw the fliers in the port we were just at, get the drift?"
"Of corse."
Lee remember all to well the posters in the last port where they stocked up at in a matter of moments. The posters that had all of their faces on them, with bountys as well, she had never thought of the idea of selling a fellow person out for money but seeing the wanted posters on the walls and windows brought a shiver to her spine. She shook it off and looked at Mat-tsu who gave her what he most likely thought was a winning smile, she growled in response still not trusting him.
"I'm counting on you Lee, make sure you stay together, and mostly stay alive."
"Got it."
She looked up as Michael's ship began to distract a Vamtyr ship and give the others time to escape. She looked up at Mat-tsu.
"Well, get us out of here Mr. Know it all."
She ran to the deck and looked out as the others all went in seperate directions and Mat-tsu lead the ship into another direction away from the others and away from danger.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Odin M Yggdrasi]

~Alutri Arrow, Bridge~

[I]At least Michael finally paid up.[/I] Martel thought. She had bought the replacement fuel rods to bring Michael’s ships back to full power, installed them, and even though he just about had to pull pennies out of his ears to pay for the parts he did pay every last cent of it.

[b]“I don’t know what you all are doing, but I for one am dumping these cling ons and getting back to my business.” [/b] Martel called into the radio. [b] “And I want no part of being a marked bounty, I am going to see to it that my name is cleared. I had no idea that you guys were criminals, I was just doing my job and fixing ships that needed it.” [/b]

She seemed irate having seen her face on the wanted posters; and who could blame her when she was only guilty by association. Likely she would have no choice but to reveal the names of the group to clear herself, ad she would do it too if it is what it took.

[b]“Odin, you ready?” [/b] Martel called across her ship’s bridge. The rather odd man she had picked up had decided not to depart at the station, and agreed to ride with her as a partner in business.

[b] “As ready as I will be. Still, you’re scary. You just about blew that guy’s brains out because he didn’t want to pay you.[/b] Odin answered, strapped into the copilot’s chair, as the books and junk that had formerly decorated that chair were fastened to the next chair back. [b] “How does the KN1 handle relative to a KN2?” [/b] he asked, only to realize it was a big mistake as Martel got a huge grin on her face and pushed the throttle to full.

In back of the ship, there was a thunderous roar, and the main jet lashed out as the Arrow blasted away from the other ships, since they were all powered they had released the docking and grappling mechanisms. Sadly she was already driving hard away from them when the vamtyrs showed up.

[I]Oh well. I’ve had enough vamtyrs, and since they are perfectly fine without me, my work here is done.[/I] She thought, not slowing down or turning back. Odin was examining his control panel, it was just slightly different from the KN2 controls he was used to- though all the main functions had not changed.

[b] “The remains of my ship shouldn’t be too far away, and you picked up enough shipping tubes to salvage all of the fuel rods in addition to the remaining mechanical stuff.” [/b] Odin commented, looking at Martel. She was in a driving anger, her jaw clenched tight and her hands firm on the controls. It didn’t seem like she would stop her ship, even though it was free parts if anything was left.

Soon though the floating debris from what was once a sister ship of the Arrow came into view, and with a series of bursts from the braking thrusters the arrow slowed down, allowing the debris to be captured by the magnetic field, while the frame of the main hull was grappled.

[b] “Your former crewmates won’t mind if we salvage their stuff right?” [/b] Martel commented, somehow a disturbing humor in her voice. She was still mad about having been marked as a bounty, though seeing what remained of the KN2-1701D made her feel a little better.

[b]Well, most of them their bodies were flung into free space, and are likely sublimating as we speak. I doubt they would object since this is actually company procedure for the ship to be salvaged for all it is worth.” [/b] Odin commented, suiting up to help with the salvage.

[Shwa]

Lance had to use the restroom for a moment on Michael's ship, after the new human male came on board things were a bit tense. But he proved to be on the good side, but they still kept an eye on him. Brash'una left for his ship moments later, expressing concern about the new male but Lance swore to keep an eye on him. That's when Lance realized...he needed to go to the bathroom really, really bad. The lion hybrid searched all over the ship, getting lost in between the cargo hold and the crew quarters in between his search. But he finally managed to locate the facilities smiling the tall creature entered after squeezing his body through the small door meant for humans. Lance was finished within a couple minutes, when he left the bathroom and got back to the bridge everyone was gone.

"Where in the world are they?" The large lion sniffed the air and ground for a little tracing their scents, some seem to spit and separate towards different directions of the ship. Lance noticed too that Michael's ship was moving itself, moving at very fast speed at that. With a sudden crash the whole bridge shook violently sending sparks and wires across the bridge, Lance was tossed to one of the metal poles hard; his body made a dent in the metal bending it in half. The lion hybrid shook hid head, more crashing and flying around the room took place sending the lion to the room and then down to the floor. "What's going on!?!?!" Lance slowly got up, he could see the lights of the shop flickering and the power slowly dieing, the lion stood up and held onto the wall as he guided himself towards the cockpit. He saw Michael bleeding from his head as he piloted his shit through the barrage of laser fire coming from an unknown source. The human looked behind himself and stared up to meet Lance's glare.

"What are you still doing here? You're suppose to be with Brash'una in his ship, didn't you listen to the plan?" Michael raised his voice as another shot hit the outter hull of his ship. Both beings held on tight to whatever they could so as not to go flying about.

"I was occupied, who's firing at us?"

"A Vamtyr ship, they found us so we seperated into groups. If I were you I'd call Brash'una and have him pick you up Lance." Michael swiftly navigated his ship through another volley of laser blasts, none managed to hit the ship this time.

"What about you?" Lance knelt behind the pilots seat.

"I'm just causing a scene, the others need time to get away so I'm providing the distraction. As long as they get away then it's all fine" Michael cocked a smile as he pressed a couple of buttons on his console, automatically the ship's weapons came online and began to return fire. "Yes! They're still up and running" The human male cheered as his weapons unleashed a devastating blow at their attacker, but it still wasn't enough to get rid of them forever. More shots fired fired at the ship, an explosion tossed the two creatures about without warning, one of the engines burst through the hull causing a hull breach. The computer automatically shut the area down but power and speed were cut dramatically, soon they would be sitting ducks.

"We have to abandon ship, if they catch either of us it'll be the end." Lance groaned as he stood up slowly, he could see Michael unconscious over his control board. The hybrid picked the human up with one hand and placed his body over the hybrids shoulder, using his tail to wrap around Michael's waist for safety. Another crashing sound echoed through the bridge, the Vamtyr's were trying to board their ship; Lance gave a mighty growl as he dashed towards the rear of the ship. He remembered the bracelet Brash'una gave him, instantly he pressed it. Both beings were ripped down molecule by molecule until they vanished from Michael's ship and onto Brash'una's ship. Brash'una walked over to Lance and greeted the lion, only to see Michael injured and passed out over his shoulder. Both Brash'una and Lance looked at one another for a moment.

"We [I][B][COLOR="Blue"]need[/COLOR][/B][/I] to [COLOR="Blue"][I][B]Talk[/B][/I][/COLOR]" Both said simultaneously.

OOC: Last to the party again....but I brought beer baby!!!

Mat-tsu now, flew the ship in a kind of happy mood.

"Hmm...these guys aren't so bad, I thought I would of had to kill them all but I guess not", he said in a low voice with a small smile across his face. He turned around after setting the ship on auto-pilot only to be met by Lee's eyes and a sword at his throat.

"What the hell did you just say ", she said with a growl.

"I forget that you are mixed with the DNA of an animal and that your senses are quite sharp but please forgive my...my...", Mat-tsu couldn't talk, it was nothing but a screeching pain coursing threw his entire body.

"Ma-Mat-tsu...are you okay", Lee said starled.

"AHHHH", yelled Mat-tsu as his body began to semmingly boil as if it was water on a stove. Lee slowly watched in horror as Mat-tsu coughed up a semmigly limitless amount of blood on the ship's floor, his hair growing longer turning into a snow white color, his shoulders rippling with muscles, his forearms now covered in a fine white fur, his chest now showing reveiling a weird scar that resembled a dragon strectching from his ribs to his left arm, his legs now too rippling with veins.

"Mat-tsu just exactly...what are you...", she said now thinking back to what he told her earlier.

"Ahhh...ahhh...I had a feeling something like this would happen...too much exposure to...your....", he stopped now crumbling to his knees sweat pouring from his forehead, he knelt trying to gather himself his nails now merged with his fingers creating talons penetrating the ships floor.

"Mat-Mat-tsu...what has happened to you...", Lee said a little worried gripping her sword.

.....23144678TLY or project Advent...., said a voice channeling directly to Lee and Mat-tsu's head.

"What...what does that mean", Lee replied puzzled.

.......the universes....rebirth....and your unfortunate death...., as the voice said this Mat-tsu's eyes rolled into the back of his head, he arose from his knelt position now with a steady figure. His hair a snow white, his eyes too snow white, his forearms covered with a fine white hair wrapping completly around them, his chest rippling with veins, but the most astonishing thing was his fingers and his scar, his fingers completly changed into jet black talons and his weird scar now glowing a eerier shade of green.

"Mat....tsu what are you doing", she said a little shocked but still grasping her sword with a firm grip.

...........he's going to kill you............Lee, the voice said fading away with a chuckle.

[Akieen Cloud]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Lee bit her lip but then took a step forward towards him.
"Fine if your a murderer and going to kill me then do it. I'm not afraid of death, even by your hands."
He grabbed her arms his new talons digging into them, she could smell as well as feel her blood flowing down her arms. She winced only slightly before she put her forehead on his chest.
"I'm not afraid to die Mat-tsu, if you really wish to kill me then go ahead."
Even as she repeated these words again something chilled her from her toes up, it was the first time in a long time she had actually felt fear; but she knew it wasn't of dieing. She took a deep breath and looked up at him, she could tell that a part of him was still struggling to get a hold of him self.
'I don't know what to do, I've never seen anything like this, and everyone is to far away for me to contact them and ask for help.'
As these thoughts went through her head his talons dug into her arms deeper, she whimpered slightly and tried to back up.
"Mat-tsu, let me go. I don't want to hurt you."
She blinked, where had that come from? Wasn't she giving him nothing but death threats the entire time since she had met him? She looked up at him and took a deep breath. She had to do something to break him out of whatever trance he was in and was aware of the sound of her sword dropping to the deck floor, she let out a deep growl and leaned forward biting into his arm, he didn't move.
"Damnit Mat-tsu come on! Snap out of it!"
She leaned forward again to bite his other arm when he gave her a quick, violent shake, she yelped as her head was flung forward and then blinked rapidly as her lips connected with his.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Ol' Fighter]

As Lee's lips met with Mat-tsu's, his body began to reconfigure.

"Mat-tsu...", Lee said looking into his eyes.

"Haaaa....I-I-I'm sorry Lee for hurting you...please...please forgive me...", Mat-tsu said falling down to his back.

"Mat-tsu, what you told me earlier about you being like me what did you mean by that", Lee said putting her hand on his chest were the scar was.

"....I was...a project...an experiment I should say with the main focus of my creation was to at first rid a future threat...", Mat-tsu said grabbing her hand.

"A future threat...do you mean the vamtrys", she said looking at him surprised.

"Yeah...I was supposedly created for the sole purpose of disposing the future threat called the vamtyrs and it was something else but I don't exactly know what that something else was I can't remember at all", he replied grasping Lee's hand a little harder.

"Well this "something else" must be dealing with the destruction of the universe but...you don't exactly look like you even in that other beastly form could take a direct hit from my sword it would probably still cut you in half", she said with a slight chuckle.

"...but thank you sincerly for stopping me from whatever was happening...who would of had thought a simple kiss would halt what I was to become", Mat-tsu said holding her hand.

"Wait a second I didn't do that on purpose, did you actually think I would ever kiss YOU", she said yanking her hand away.

"Hu, uh, well...I guess it was the other me then that wanted to kiss you then...cause I sure didn't", Mat-tsu said with a sarcastic smile.

Lee leaned over him, looked into his eyes and slapped him stomping away while uttering curses.

"I have fought this thing for so long and yet now I am overcome by it...", he said looking at his hand.

"I bet it was exposure to her DNA that influenced it, her DNA must be similar to my DNA...constructed in a lab and spliced with animals...but mine is a lot diffrent it's extremly reactive to half-breed DNA but then again why is that...I do remember that I was supposedly the first succesfull one-hundred percent "Bio-link" whatever that is but I don't get it", he continued getting up.

He looked around for Lee wishing to apologize for harming her for he too could acutly smell the scent of blood.

[Akieen Cloud]

[COLOR="Navy"][FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Lee paced back and forth by the side of the ship, away from Mat-tsu but not so far as to be unable to be found. She continued paceing, her mind raging a war with it self. She growled in frustration as her hand unconsiously went to her lips.
"It meant nothing, it was an accident, wasn't as if I enjoyed it. Not as if he did either."
She heaved a sigh and shook her head franticly.
"I'm acting like a pup...this is ridiculous."
She winced as she threw her arms up and looked at her upper arms where his claws had dug into them. They were deep but already the bleeding had stopped. She sighed and ripped the sleeves off her shirt and began to lick the wounds clean. She stopped as her hand went to her chest.
"Why can my heart not slow down...?
'Because your falling for him.'
She growled as her mind replied to her question.
"That's not it! How could I be? He's arrogant and he doesn't give a damn about anyone but him self!"
She sat down heavily and put her face in her hands sighing heavily.
"What is wrong with me? Why am I acting this way?"
She heaved another sigh and just sat there in her own thoughts.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[B][COLOR=Navy][FONT=Book Antiqua]OOC: I am going to put an underground thread up soon listing the planets to go for the different kingdoms. When it's up, choose the place that you want to explore and who you want to explore it with.

[/FONT][/COLOR][/B][COLOR=Navy][FONT=Book Antiqua]After Loreley messaged the others, she drank some of the milk that she had made for Okryuu and Elie. Hoping that Michael was okay, she tried to get a hold of anyone at Mars. Finally, as she was drifting off to sleep, she established radio contact.
"Yes? Who is this?" A man's voice answered.
Loreley snapped out of her sleeping mood.
"Hello? Hello? Who is this?"
With a little bit of static, the man answered.
"This is the leader of a large, respected tribe of people. My name will only be spoken if we meet in person."
Loreley waited a little bit before answering.
"Okay, we are coming into land."
More static as the man started to answer.
"Wait. Be prepared. We view clothing as an offensive thing. Also, please bring supplies."
Loreley looked over at Elie and then at Okryuu's naked form. She didn't take her eyes off of them as she answered.
"That won't be a problem."
"Good. We will be waiting for you then." The man said as he ended the transmission.
Loreley smiled and helped Elie and Okryuu get ready to land. However, a vamtyr ship came out of nowhere and attacked. They started to plummet to the planet Mars below. It looked like they were going to have to make a crash landing.
[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Odin M Yggdrasi]

~Martel Alutri; Remains of KN2-1701D~
~Odin M Renegade; Remains of KN2-1701D~

Martel had put on her space suit, with her radiation suit underneath in a somewhat tight configuration due to her body type. Odin had on an extra radiation suit, and was inside the escape suit he had arrived in.

[b] “New condenser plate is sealed and secured, when were done here you can reenergize that panel” [/b] Odin spoke into his mic, Martel waved at him as she pushed another crate out a hole in the KN2 towards the KN1’s magnetic shield. Already three or four such crates had entered the field and were orbiting the Arrow waiting to be brought into the Cargo bay.

[b]Odin can you believe how valuable some of the stuff in the Captain’s quarters were? How much do they pay you freight pilots? [/b] Martel chimed into the microphone, not showing any hint of sorrow at the captain having died with the ship.

Odin looked towards her as she pushed the crate out, and reminded her not to take anything from Cabin 4 since he was still alive to collect his personal effects in person. [b] “It bothers me actually that they only took the equipment from the bridge, and what was in the cargo bays. Really, more of the ship is here than I expected, and from the looks of it they didn’t even touch the personal stuff in the cabins.”[/b]

About an hour later they were almost done stripping the remains down to a bare frame when Martel headed towards the remains of the bridge one last time to see if anything else up there was worth recovery when the battered floor gave under the force of her step, and the resulting momentum transfer sent her flying towards a series of jagged edges that would tear holes in her suit, with the resultant pressure loss being lethal.

[b] “MARTEL!” [/b] Odin shouted into his radio, she having hit her head on the inside of her helmet when the floor gave way and was knocked out. Slamming the controls for his suit jets, he caught up to her and caught her, wrapping his arms around her limp form before pushing off of the wall with his feet, sending them outside the KN2 into the Arrow’s magnetic shield orbit.

He kept holding her for several minutes as they passed around the ship in the field, not sure how to exit the magnetic field. Whispering into the microphone, he could see a small blood spot on Martel’s head from where she had hit it. [b] “Martel, please be alright…please don’t give up. I don’t want to lose any more shipmates… Martel Alutri, please… I love you” [/b]

Martel started to come around after the first bit of pleading from Odin, and was just about awake by the time he said his last line. She looked into his eyes, and clicked on her microphone as well. [b] “Odin… you saved my life…. And in the time I have known you, I have liked you. I only pick on people I like, in short I love you too. ” [/b]

She wrapped her arms around a much surprised and intensely blushing Odin, before using her suit jets to exit the magnetic field and return to the Arrow to address her head wound.


Back on the arrow, Martel first wiped the blood off of the inside of her helmet, Odin tending the wound on her head directly. After that was done and the suits stored, Martel turned and embraced her hero suddenly- Odin turning bright red as he was held up against her soft and warm body. His heart melted at that moment, and he began to hug her as well, gently feeling the lush curves present in her back.

They then turned to the remains of the KN2-1701D, and Martel said [b] “Odin, there is a bible near the grappling hook controls, and from there we have a clear view of the ship. I had already armed the destruction charge, so let’s go to the bridge and pay our last respects to the KN2 and your fallen crewmates.” [/b]

[b]Alright, only… [/b] Odin commented, before sweeping the plush form of Martel off her feet and carrying her towards the bridge. [I]I probably wouldn’t be able to do this in normal gravity, she does look like she weighs a fair bit. But that hug… it was so soft and so warm… I just hope my slip of tongue doesn’t turn out bad. [/I]

[COLOR=Indigo][FONT=Book Antiqua][B]OOC: Don't highlight the spoilers unless you want to read one of the mature parts in the RP.[/B]

Loreley and Elie strapped in while Okryuu, also strapped in, tried to make their landing as smooth as possible. With their ship free-falling, he had a tough job ahead of him. With the warning sirens blaring, Lorelely could almost make out the voice of the man she had talked to before.
"What are...missing the beacon completely...you crazy? Pull..now! Pull up!"
His voice was soon consumed by static and the sounds of the sirens though. They all braced themselves as the ship crashed onto the jungle floor.

Loreley awoke to Elie shaking her. She didn't know how long she had been out. It could have been minutes, hours, or even days. Loreley finally became fully conscious and listened to what Elie had to say.
"Loreley, Okryuu managed to contact that man you were talking to earlier. He is sending someone to meet us. Let's go and check the damage of the ship." Elie said.
Loreley stood up and winced. She didn't think she had been hurt at first but she had a pretty bad headache. She decided to take a look at her body. She only had a bruise on her elbow, and the only cuts she had were on her right and left breasts, both above the nipple, and on her inner thighs. Most likely from her straps. Elie held a hand out to help her, but she pushed it away.
"It's okay. I will be fine."
Both she and Elie left the ship and went outside.
Outside, the damage looked pretty bad. Okryuu seemed to be talking to the messenger that the man had sent out and waved for Loreley and Elie to come over. He introduced them both and they followed her to the city. Loreley must have fainted, because she couldn't remember meeting the leader of the city.

When she woke up, the young messenger girl from before was wiping her down with some sort of cool balm. She moved up from Loreley's crotch, to her stomach, and then to her breasts. As she worked the balm on there, she noticed that Loreley was awake.
"Oh, you are awake. We were worried for a minute. Patony wants to see you when you are feeling better."
She must have noticed the confusion in Loreley's face.
"Patony is our leader. I am Neci, one of the few survivors. No questions please, it is too painful for me to talk about. Patony will tell you all about it most likely."
Neci put the final balm on Loreley's face. She told her to wait a few minutes before getting up to see Patony, and lay down next to Loreley.
"For warmth." She explained.
Soon, Neci got up and lead Loreley to Patony's building where Okryuu and Elie were already waiting. Loreley waved to them and sat down as well.
After Patony introduced himself, he explained again what happened to their village. Great lifeless creatures from the sky had found them and killed almost everyone. But then for no reason, the creatures had left. Loreley rightly guessed that the vamtyrs had attacked this peaceful place. Although she had no idea why they didn't just wipe the whole place clean. Loreley promised him that they would do what they could about these creatures and told Patony what they were looking for. His eyes lit up.
"I might know where you can find it. But I am not sure if I can lead outsiders there." He said, stroking his chin.
"Really? After all, I think I can help you with the recent loss of most of your village. If Okryuu is willing to help me." Loreley said, looking over to Okryuu. He nodded.
Patony was confused, but Loreley explained. He smiled and thanked the three of them.
"I will prepare a place for you in the center of the village. The few villagers that have survived will want to see the hope that you can bring them." Patony said, shaking Loreley's hand.
As they left Patony's, it seemed that news had traveled fast.
"Is it true you can help us?" Neci asked.
Loreley nodded and Neci smiled and started to cry.
"Thank you so much. I lost all of my family. And I was ready to start a family of my own as well..." She said, rubbing her belly slowly.
Loreley hugged her and patted her on the back.
"Don't worry, you will soon have one again."

[spoiler]Patony set up a special area for Okryuu and Loreley to do what they had planned. Elie was ready to be the mid-wife and Neci watched as Okryuu drove deep into Loreley. Several hours later, they finished with the nursery. Neci thanked them and Patony led them off to the celebration being held in their honor.

That night, Patony set up an all night celebration for the heroes. Loreley ended up in an orgy of bodies, which she noticed had even included Neci. Who for some reason had asked for Loreley's breast milk, but Loreley didn't question her and gave her some.[/spoiler]

The next day, Loreley managed to get away to the ship. She sent an sos out. Hoping to get a hold of Martel.
"Hello? Hello? Martel, are you out there? Are ship crash landed on Mars and we need help. This is Loreley. If you can hear me please answer." Loreley repeated this message several times, hoping that Martel got her message. She almost hated the thought of leaving though. This place was her own personal paradise and a nice replacement for the tribe that she had lost. However, if she stayed here then she would just lose her tribe all over again. She had to get rid of the vamtyr threat before she could ever return.

[Odin M Yggdrasi]

# Martel Alutri # ~Alutri Arrow, Cargo Bay~
# Odin M Renegade# ~Alutri Arrow, Cargo Bay~

The KN2 had been released, and along with a prayer from Martel the demolition charge was detonated- reducing it’s last remains into cosmic dust that would eventually return to their natural form. Odin and Martel had gone to the cargo bay, to sort out the items they had salvaged and put them in a somewhat organized manner in the storage bays.

[b] “Careful with that one. That has a viewing jar for a water filter in it, if you drop it you might crack it.” [/b] Martel commented as Odin picked up a mid-sized box. She moved the larger box she had picked up, and Odin put the small box neatly into a gap in the stacks.

[b] “Martel, just what is all of this? Your ship seems to have more bits and pieces stored away than a tinkerer’s asteroid. [/b] Odin commented, reaching for another box. This one was lighter and bulkier, and when Martel turned around she smiled on recognizing it.

[b] “More of my old clothes are in that one. Relax, it shouldn’t have anything like you encountered before, and most of what is in there is from some years ago when I was a fair bit thinner. They won’t fit me now but probably would be usable by Lorelei, even though they would be rather big on her.” [/b] Martel commented, setting an empty box on the floor near it when Odin set it down again. She started to open it, while Odin tried to read her handwriting on another box to figure out where to put it.

[I]I haven’t seen these in so long. Though it will be good to put them to use again, they’ve only traveled a few thousand light-years since they were last worn. [/I] She thought as she picked through the box. Some colored tank tops that clearly would leave her belly exposed were moved into the empty box, along with several jeans that while the length was right she would never get past her thighs were transferred.

Behind her, Odin continued working on sorting boxes into the different stacks and bays, smiling as he walked past her. [I]She looks like she is having fun actually, sorting through her old clothing.[/I]

Towards the bottom of the box, the items she figured Lorelei would be able to wear in a smaller box while the items that would be returned to that box piled nearby she found a few clothes she had almost forgotten she had.

A dark blue bikini, one that while it might actually still fit if the laces were lengthened, and a matching colored knee-length skirt, along with the same colored thigh highs and belt to hold them. Martel was quite surprised on finding them, remembering how she used to wear clothes like that in the last years before leaving the research station.

Odin was looking over her shoulder when they were uncovered, as Martel turned around while holding the bikini top he quickly blushed and looked away. Clearly Odin was the victim of a fantasy about Martel; she smiled innocently before putting both pieces of the bikini, the skirt, and the thigh highs and garter belt into the box for Lorelei and her friends.

[b] “Did you just imagine me in a bikini Odin?” [/b] Martel said out loud as she tossed the remaining clothes back into the box to be sold, since they wouldn’t fit her and didn’t seem like anything that Lorelei would willingly wear without destroying.

Odin turned bright red again, visions of punishment straight out of a manga racing through his mind at her tone. [I]Shit, she caught me. Well, if she is going to throw me out the airlock now or put me in the brig, maybe she will go easy since she did say she loves me. [/I]

[b] “Come here. [/b] Martel said, in the tone of a military captain ordering a recruit around.

Reluctantly stepping forward, Odin approached Martel- who had an evil look in her eye. Right when he was standing at attention in front of her, a few feet away, she suddenly charged forward- body moving as if it was an explosion.

Arms open she ran into Odin full force, knocking him into the pile of loose clothes on the floor with her arms wrapped so tightly around him that between her arms and her weight the wind was knocked out of him for a second.

Coming around, he felt Martel’s weight on him and how soft and warm she was. As he wrapped his arms around her to return the embrace she whispered “ I love you Odin. And if you really want to see me in a swimsuit, I will bathe with you tonight. ”

Odin started to answer, before the mood was shattered by an alarm and a white light flashing on the status board inside the bay- indicating that a radio message was received.

[b] “Shit, someone is calling for us.” [/b] Martel commented, getting up off of Odin and running towards the bridge, Odin close on her heels but still a little unsteady in the recently restored gravity outside the cargo bays.

[Lilt]

[COLOR=Indigo][FONT=Book Antiqua]Finally, Martel's familiar voice broke through the white noise.
"We're on our way, what's your location?"
Loreley gave Martel her coordinates from the ship's still functioning navigation system and waited for a response.
"Okay, now you need to activate your beacon so we can find you. After that, just wait and we will do our best to get there."
Loreley did as she said and ended radio contact with Martel. Then she headed back to the village to tell the others.

Okryuu and Elie took the news very well. They asked Patony if they could start another celebration. Neci however did not take it so well. She lead Loreley away for a private talk.
"So you will be leaving forever?"
Loreley shook her head.
"I don't know how long, but not forever."
Neci smiled and kissed Loreley.
"Come with me then."

Neci was now wearing a special headdress and had paint on her face. She put the same paint on Loreley's face and gave her a similar headdress. Then she grabbed a large bowl-like cup.
"Now, to start the ceremony. Fill this with your milk please."
Loreley was a bit confused, so Neci had to milk her. When the bowl was drained by both of them, Neci told her what it was all about.
"This is like a promise to marry. I want to be with you, Loreley."
Loreley was a little shocked but hugged Neci.
"But what about Elie and Okryuu?"
Neci smiled and kissed her breast, right on the nipple.
"Remember last night when I asked you for some of your milk? I performed the same ceremony with them. We will all be married."
Loreley smiled and went with Neci to join the celebration while she waited for Martel to arrive. Patony surprised her with something. She put it away in a safe place. They would need it later to defeat the vamtyrs. Now all she had to do was wait for Martel.
[/FONT][/COLOR]

[Odin M Yggdrasi]

# Martel Alutri # ~Alutri Arrow, Bridge~
# Odin M Renegade# ~Alutri Arrow, Bridge~

Martel and Odin had spoken with Lorelei, answering the call for help. Already Odin had found the beacon on his control board, while Martel turned the Arrow and set a new course towards it.

[b] “We going to slipstream Martel?” [/b] Odin asked as Martel began reducing the power of the main jet again, already making a speed roughly ¼ that of light speed.

[b] “Not this time. Lorelei is definitely safe on the planet or she would have had a more urgent tone, we don’t have to break our necks to get there right away.” [/b] Martel answered. She stopped the main jet entirely, coasting through free space towards the beacon signal, and cut in the automatic to react if any objects crossed the Arrow’s path. [b] “Besides Odin, don’t you want to bathe with me, since you did say you wanted to see me in a swimsuit?” [/b]

Odin blushed again, as Martel stood up and walked past him towards her cabin. He sat there for a minute, looking at the star field out ahead of them and the steady rhythm of the gauges on the control boards before sighing and heading back to his own cabin to find something to wear while bathing with Martel.

~Alutri Arrow, Water Room~
A towl was hanging outside the door of the water room, which Martel had told Odin earlier how it worked like a swimming pool on the Arrow. Martel approached it, her plush curvy body bouncing slightly with each step in the dark blue one-piece suit she had on. She hung her towel at the door, and carefully removed her leg brace so it would not get wet- in the water she would be all right without it.

Odin held his nose as she entered, and after the door closed she switched off the gravity, causing herself, Odin, and the water to float in the room. No sooner had the water formed the large blobs than she pushed one towards Odin, sending him spinning in the air and soaking wet when it hit.

[b] “Martel, has anyone ever told you how beautiful you are?” [/b] He commented, stopping himself on the ceiling and pushing a water blob down his back to rinse off.

[b] “Flattery will get you nowhere Odin. Though if you come down here, I will wash your back for you.” [/b] Martel answered; pushing another of the water blobs against herself- this one against her modest breasts to clean them off.

Odin pushed off the ceiling, and along with several water blobs that he had gathered while flying across the room found himself unable to stop- being stopped by Martel’s arms as the two hit the pool of water that remained at the floor.

Bathing together, Martel and Odin conversed and bonded, before finally switching the gravity back on and returning to their cabins to dry off and change back to normal clothes for dinner.

~Alutri Arrow, Bridge (Odin and Martel)
Some hours later, they were beginning their initial approach towards the planet on which the beacon was located. Odin started to tear up at how beautiful the planet looked, while an unimpressed Martel held steady on her initial vector towards the planet.

[b] “Hang tight, even with a three-pass entry it still is going to be a bit bumpy for a while.” [/b] Martel commented to Odin, the two of them fully strapped in for the ride.

A faint screaming vibration could be heard, and as the arrow pierced the first layers of the atmosphere the nose and underside of the ship began to grow hot from the friction, soon coming to glow brightly.

[Lilt]

[FONT=Book Antiqua][COLOR=Indigo][B]OOC: Same warning as last time. Don't highlight if you don't want to read the mature content.[/B]

Neci, Loreley, Patony, and all of the others looked to the sky. There was a bright light flashing across quickly. The remaining tribe members looked to Patony to hear his interpretation of this sign.
"Everony, everyone! Calm down please. Although this is not as bright as the last sign that brought our heroes, it is still equally important."
Okryuu, Elie, and Loreley rightly guessed that the sign before was their ship crashing on the planet.
Patony again got the crowd to settle down.
"This sign can be nothing else but a sign from our goddess of fertility!"
The people cheered and Neci explained about the goddess to Loreley and how some people thought that she was the goddess in human form.
Loreley giggled but then Neci surprised her by what she asked Okryuu.
[spoiler]"Well, the orgy is starting. Okryuu, can you help me? I would like a child..." She said, blushing.
He nodded and Loreley and Elie picked Neci up and held her as Okryuu drove himself deep inside her. Loreley watched her breasts bounce up and down as he went faster and finally put his seed inside of her. He then had Neci and Elie pick up Loreley and did the same to her. Then he and Elie went off together, probably so he could fill every girl in the tribe with his seed and maybe do the same to Elie too. Then Loreley felt Neci's arms wrap around her from behind and play with her breasts. She kissed Loreley's neck and whispered into her ear.
"Let's just you and me do something until the orgy is over. Or else we will both have to deal with all of the men in this tribe." Neci whispered.
However, since Neci's fingers traveled lower she could only moan in reply. Neci took this as a yes and she and Loreley made love until the orgy ended.[/spoiler]
Finally, Loreley and Elie and Okryuu left the village and headed for their ship. Hoping to find Martel's ship close by so that she could do repairs for them.
