((Hey Tysyacha, just re-reading over your post. I assume the "twitching mandibles" belong to.... Tuhrop? :/ ))
The group ventured along the dark corridors, relying on their Omni-Tool Flash Lights. Every now and then did a security mech approach the group, enchanting "Hostiles Detected."
Possibly reprogrammed.. maybe not. But Zack seemed to have no trouble dealing with them.
Tuhrop twitched his mandibles, as he saw a dark figure snooping around the hall. His flashlight revealed a half naked Salarian standing with cold feet. There seemed to be some puncture markings around his limbs.
"...Hello?" Tuhrop added. He wondered if he was a prisoner of the facility. "What are you doing out here?"
-
Naruto smiled, as he looked at the list of team members assigned. Organising Ninjas to various missions and organising scheduals was a complicated business; he was glad to be finally rid of the task. For the week, at least.
He stared at the names on the list.
JONIN
Daisuke TATEGAMI
Takeda KUEI
CHUNIN
Dren HYUGA
Karela [insert surname] ((Your character doesnt seem to have a surname, Chev haha))
Asuka KYO
IMPORTED
Kaneda YAMAGATO
Ryuu ISHIKAWA
Akagi SHURIJIMA
The classic eight-man squad, in Naruto's thoughts. Reminded him of the good old days when he was a genin. Then fast forwarding to the present, a year ago - when most of these named individuals were knuckle-headed allies. A year has passed, things will no doubtly be different.
-
Lyna explained how she asked Vedo to use his information brokers to gather intel on Darth Sethos and his current wherabouts. Cade blew a heavy sigh.
"Well, like I said; be cautious. Vedo will want something in return. Nothing is free in this galaxy."
The intercom confirmed and granted them permission to land in docking pbay 44.
"Don't worry, Cade. I'm sure Vedo will be glad to finally meet us."
Cade scratched his head, and crossed his arms. "Yeah..." he said doubtfully. "I'm sure he will."
The ship finally landed. Cade unbuckled himself from the chair and went back to his quarters to gather his things.
-
"Ideas, sir? Or are we, as the human saying goes, 'flying-by-the-seat-of-our-pants'?"
Tuhrop activated his omni-tool and switched the Torch Mode on, which illuminated the darkness. "We'll have to be quick, and cautious." Tuhrop added. "We dont have any weapons, so our Biotic Specialists will have to surround the party... which only leaves Zack, because one is in captivity and the other has skuddled someplace else."
Tuhrop approached Zack. "Are you up for the task, Zack? Once we get Tom, you wont need to be under too much preasure. Hopefully they'll have sometype of armory next to the interrogation chambers aswell."
Tuhrop walked into the darkness of the very dim hallway.
-
"That's very true. One time, I met Queen Jools, the Hutt you guys use to see at her cantina. At first, she didn't believe that I was the clone of Lyna. But after I told her my story and took off my goggles, she was totally surprised."
"Thats nice." Cade added. Its been a long time since he caught up with Jool.
The ship entered the atmosphere and flew towards the dock of the city, searching for an available landing pad.
"Nal Hutta Docking Bay Control, this is the Justice on approach and requesting permission to land?" Cade spoke into the comm unit.
"...Well?" Cade pressed on to Lyna, while waiting for a responce from control. "Why are we looking for a Hutt named Vedo in a place like Nal Hutta?"
-
"You say that like its a bad thing Kaneda. And I'm sure your family really missed you while you were gone."
"You know me; I hate suprises." Kaneda added simply. "But, yeah I still missed them."
"I'm going to go and talk to the Hokage before I head home. I plan on finding out whats going on now that the samurai are here in the village."
Kaneda nodded. He stood up and gave Karela a hug goodbye. "I'll see you later then. Oh yeah, before I forget: I received word that Tategami-sensei has just came back from his mission. He'll give you an even BIGGER hug than mine... and thats not necassarily in a good way."
He turned and walked back to his home, where his parents were waiting for his arrival.
-
Tom slowly regained all his senses together, after the tranquilizer weared off abit. He raised his head in time to see the Cerberus bitch walk out the door, not before giving her collegues a set of instructions before she left.
One of the interrogators approached Tom. "Sorry we have to do this to you, but I'm afraid its necesary."
"Necasary for what?" Tom replied, sternly.
"Secrecy must be kept. We cannot allow the Systems Alliance to learn of Project Genesis. This must also be kept silenced to the general public, and the only way we can ensure that is to eliminate witnesses. Starting with you, the one who found the data in the first place."
Tom clenched his fists. He couldnt use his biotics. Smart move by Cerberus - they must have temporarily disabled his amp. But all of a sudden, the lights to the room went out. The emergency red light illuminated the room dimly. The interrogator spoke to the two way mirror.
"Status Report of the Facility!" he barked.
"Uh, it appears to be a power failure. Emergency Systems should be online within a few minutes."
___________________________________________________________________
Tuhrop heard the conversation between Kallic and Rogue. Most troubling - he had his suspicions on Hawking, but he was a little suprised it was Neesa, the "personal assistant". They were probably going to take them out one at a time, starting with Tom.
Tom could be in serious danger. "We have to go rescue Tom. Hopefully they need him alive in order to--"
He could hear Quirinius' voice. "Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out...Abort the mission. Now."
He turned around. Nobody was there. "If you can, find Subject Ten. He'll tell you what happened. ...I'm sorry..."
"Subject Ten?" Tuhrop echoed. He hit his head, seeing if he could snap out of it. All of a sudden, the lights to the room went out. "Well, that makes things easy for us." Tuhrop walked over to the door, and opened it. The power failure must have deactivated all security locks.
"Lets look for Tom. Keep an eye out for Quiri as well." And this Subject 10, if I'm not going crazy.
-
Tuhrop handed the data chip relay to Kallic to insert in his omni tool.
"Contact Rogue and see what he is up to." Tuhrop requested. "Now Quiri, I have a job-for----"
Tuhrop turned around to see the Asari was no where to be seen. "Where the hell did she..." he glanced at Zack. "You didnt scare her off with those creepy infactuations of yours, did you?" he crossed his arms.
Tuhrop looked up at the ceiling, to see that the ventilation shaft above. Could Quiri really have gone up through the vents that quickly within a few seconds?
"Where the hell is she? What the hell could she be doing?"
------------------------------------------------------------------
First all he saw was pitch black. Then his vision adjusted to only a blurriness, he couldnt make out where he was. Tom immediatly gathered he was sitting on a chair, but the rest of his body of numb.
"The sedative is wearing off already?!" a voice said. Tom couldnt tell if it was male or female.
"The effects are designed to be temporal, so it can be out of his system before we can apply the serum." That voice he definatly recognised, as his hearing properly adjusted. In the end, he had to ask himself; why was he not suprised?
Tom tried to remember back. The last thing he remembered was a sting at the back of his neck, just as they were escorting him down the corridor. Then he lost consciousness immediatly afterward.
"Do... your worst..." Was all he could mumble. "You'll... only be... wasting... time..."
-
"Some people have a hard time accepting that." Karela said in agreement. "But sometimes I wonder....what would have happened if we had all stayed together in the hidden leaf?"
Kaneda couldn't help but feel the same; if simply staying in Konoha would make any difference at all.
"If we had not gone our seperate ways, where do you think the Samurai would be had you not stayed with them?" Kaneda added. "Had you and Ryuu sensai not be there, their numbers would have trully shrunk."
"Its part of a growing experience, as well." Ryuu added to the conversation. "Of course you and Kaneda had to depart ways. It gives you a chance to for new challenges and experiences. Dont blame yourself for what others may think. In the end, its what you do that really matters."
"For example; I left the Samurai, because I felt I was not one of them. So I decided to try out something new. And here I am today, eating Ramen with my student and his friends."
Kaneda finished the last of his Ramen bowl.
"I have to go see my family... and prepare for what awaits me." Kaneda said dreadfully. "Most likely the loud bangs of party poppers, streamers and raining confetti all over me."
-
Quite charitable for Kaminoans, Cade thought. Not only had they given Lyna a second chance in life, but also provided a ship. This Tapps guy must have invested a great interest in Lyna.
Nal Hatta came into cockpit view.
"So we're after a Hutt named... Vedo was it?" Cade recalled. "What exactly are we extracting from him? Keeping in mind that entirely depends on what sort of reputation he holds as a Hutt. They are understandably one of the most paranoid species in the galaxy."
-
Neesa left with Tom, leaving the rest of the crew in the quarters. He noticed Kallics omni-tool was switched off.
"Dont worry. They told us to not bring weapons inside." Tuhrop crossed his arms. "They didnt say anything about Biotic Amps."
If trouble were to occur, hopefully Tom's well known biotic shockwave would be enough to knock a few guards down. But Tuhrop wasn't one to take chances.
He looked at the spot where Tom was standing, near a table. There was something on that table. Tuhrop approached it. I looked like some type of data chip. He picked it up and gave it to Kallick.
"I think Tom left this for us." Tuhrop speculated. The data chip was a communications relay between Tom and Rogue. Obviously while Tom is being interrogated, things would get a little awkward if they found he was communicating with a Geth inside their own base. "Smart boy."
-
"I think that hes angry. I've had a few discussions with him and I don't like what I've heard from him. I think hes mad that you and I left the village at the end of the Arashi crisis. This is just a theory mind you."
Kaneda stared into his ramen bowl, suddenly losing his appetite. He instead played with the ramen noodles floating in the solution. It was because of some sudden guilt that he had abandoned his team mates.
"I thought he would have been happy for us." Kaneda replied. "I mean, we all have our own lives to lead. He became a jonin, you went with the samurai, I pursued my own goals." Kaneda defended.
"And anyway, what about Asuka?" Kaneda smirked. "Before I left, those guys couldnt keep their hands off each other. I'm sure he would have been a little preoccupied... or did something happen between them?"
-
((Yes, your still welcome
Now can everybody please stop posting OOC's? Thats what the backstage is for)) -
"I...It's really good to see you again Kaneda. I've been looking forward to seeing you for quite awhile."
"I'll say..." Kaneda added. "Seems like the both of us had lead pretty busy lives. I'm glad we can see each other in person, rather than having to rely on letters for communication."
There were alot of things on Kaneda's mind right now - things he didnt really want to discuss infront of Karela with Ryuu's presence. One thing running through his head was when he told Karela his feelings the previous year. The other thing was him coping with a part of Hokage Naruto's demon inside of him. He often wondered how Karela, a Jinchuuriki herself, coped with it all.
"I'm glad to see you too Karela." he smiled. "So... what did I miss out on? I hear Takeda's gone abit... funny lately..."
-
((Well, I was assuming we all discuss the next step. Afterward, Rogue contacts Tom and we progress through the story. But if you want something to happen during then, lets bring it
))Tuhrop paces around the room. "Next time you have another bright idea Tom, make sure I'm the first to know about it."
"But it wasnt my idea..." Tom scratched his head.
"Rogue is just a machine, Tom!" Tuhrop replied sternly. "But then again, it might give us a little heads-up on which side is which. Whether Cerberus' presence is lurking here."
A humming noise rang from the door. It opened up, and Neesa walked in. She smiled apoligetically.
"Sorry to interupt. How are our accomodations?"
"Do you need something?" Tuhrop went straight to the point.
"We need to have a chat with one of your crew members. Specifically, the one whom first encountered the data on the Cerberus Vessel."
Tuhrop glanced at Tom. "Your looking at him right now."
Tom looked a little scepticle. "What sort of questions?"
"Theres no need to worry." Neesa raised an assuring hand. "Just general questions we need in order to file a report to the Systems Alliance."
Tom stared at Tuhrop. Tuhrop hesitantly nodded. ''Very well. Take your time with Tom."
-
"I'll pass for now. I think I'll speak with Akagi and his men...besides I'm certain the two of you have much to catch up on,"
Kaneda nodded. "Alright. Well, its good to see you Takeda." he said. "I'll catch up with you later..."
Ryuu decided to follow. "I might acompany." he added. "I hear Konoha has pretty decent ramen compared to other villages."
So they made it to their favourite ramen bar in the village. Kaneda snapped the attached-chop sticks with a flick of his hand and began digging into the bowl infront of him.
"I miss that taste. And aroma." he added. Ryuu stayed silent the whole time. Kaneda turned to Karela. "How have you been this past year? Sorry about not replying to those last few letters: you might understand what its like to be under preasure with examinations."
-
It was a long journey, and during that time Cade explored the whole of the ship. Not a bad design. Rivaling the capabilities of the Angel they ventured together with about a year ago.
He had hoped leaving the Zabrak mechanic Nale in charge of their headquarters on Zeltros would not be regretable. Though he somehow knew they would manage without him. Cade may return to Zeltros... if he survived of course.
He walked to the cockpit, and sat in the co-pilot's seat. "How did you get this ship, if you dont mind me asking..." he asked Lyna.
-
((waiting for either player to respond
)) -
((yeah
I can put up his character sheet up soon. And sorry for the delay))"I was told that there was some sort of requirement for this mission and I would like to know what it is. I was also told by the clan that you had people searching the archives for awhile but that they stopped searching a short while ago. It is my conclusion that you didn't manage to find anything worth finding in the acrchives."
"Or simply on halt. We need to gather more data." Naruto closed the folder, and rested his chin on his hands. "We have been given a report of the existance of an unknown force. Not clear as to whether it is a syndicate or organisation. We do not know what their motives are, or what they are after."
Naruto looked out the window, overlooking the village. Tents were dotted all over the training fields. "They have just recently attacked a Samurai Village, and as of now the surviving villagers are taking refuge here in Konoha. We are dispatching a recon team to the Village, to gather more information on the group we are dealing with."
He turned back to Dren. "There also another reason why I chose you for this assignment. I want you to keep an eye on the one named Takeda; he is a Jonin accompanying on the mission. Once the mission is complete, I expect a report on his behaviour patterns and performance. He cannot know I asked you to do this."
________________________________________________
"The Hokage hasn't decided on who will be joining us but he did say he was working on a team. I know Akagi and some of his men may join us while the others remain at the village."
"Akagi?" Kaneda echoed with excitement. "He's here? How is he--" he stopped short, because he realised he already had the answer to his question. Afterall, he too would feel a little shaken if his village was attacked and liberated of its population.
Ryuu eyed Kaneda strangely. Kaneda exchanged glances. "What?"
"Did I not tell you breakfast was a very important meal of the day?" Ryuu noted, acknowledging the grumbling sounds of Kaneda's stomach. Kaneda looked sheepish.
"Heh... so you did." he turned to Karela. "Come on, you! I'm starving, and theres a lot to catch up on."
-
((are they departing for the mission right now?))
Naruto sat at his desk, organising a collection of folders - each one displaying a thumbnail profile photograph of the individual. So far, he had Karela, Takeda and Akagi assigned; in addition to Ryuu and Kaneda imported from the Masurao Academy. There was one more member he was expecting a reply from - a member from the Hyuga clan.
He could have made things easier and selected Takeda as the main Jonin. But Naruto was aware there was something not at ease with the man. Therefor sending a second Jonin would be conventional enough. Besides, they could gather more information if the two Jonin split the team up.
There was a knock on his door.
"Enter." he replied.
Dren, the member from the Hyuga clan he was expecting entered the office. Naruto crossed his fingers.
"Its good to see you Dren." Naruto read his file. "I have come to understand that you are close to becoming a Jonin. You must be aware that there is a prerequisite before undergoing the examinations."
-
"Its good to see you again as well. Some of the samurai were talking about how you helped them in the battle, in fact...I think a few of them wanted to see if they could spar against you if you came along with Kaneda."
"Another time, perhaps..." Ryuu replied. He wondered whether the Samurai of his village had forgotten who he was before he abandoned them. He also wondered whether there was any meaning behind the words "sparring", as if payback or retribution for being a missing-sam.
Takeda presented a map of the way to village. Ryuu nodded. "Well organised. Hopefully we wont encounter any enemy forces along this route."
"Who else will be on the team?" Kaneda scratched his head. "The briefing said an accompanying Jonin will be with us on the mission, in addition to other members."
-
"Hey Kaneda!'
His eyes widened as he heard that familiar voice. Just as he was about to turn around, someone had tackled him onto to the ground. Luckily he had his arm to guard his head going face first into the ground.
A role of sweat rolled down his head. "Good to see you haven't changed, Karela..." he muffled.
Ryuu smiled amusingly down at Karela and Kaneda. "I've noticed he always either hesitates or holds back when it comes to sparring with girls..."
Kaneda struggled to move his head to eye Ryuu. A glaring, yet visually amusing face stared back at the Kenjustu Master. "They didn't need to know that, Ryuu-sensai!"
Ryuu beamed. He focussed his attention on Karela. "We've met before; back at the village. Its good to see you again."
-
((its only been a like... half a page since you posted lol. The characters and the Samurai have returned to the Konoha, Karela got a letter from Kaneda and Takeda is going through some tantrums. Oh, and Chev? If its okay, I might to do a time skip exclusively in my post to the next day. That way incase people need to catch up in the present or finish something... or we could just play along with it haha))
The Next Day
He could feel the rushing wind breezing on his face as he leaped from tree-to-tree within the forest. Luckily he carried light - only his small backpack, ceremonial katana and basic ninja equipment were with him.
"Kaneda-kun" Ryuu called from behind. "There's honestly no need to rush - we are not that far now."
He couldn't help it. Kaneda had looked forward to returning back to his home village, catching up with familiars. Takeda, Asuka, Yoroi, Akagi... Tategami as well. And Karela. Its been a while since he saw those faces. There was a lot to catch up on.
Ryuu and Kaneda finally made it to the edge of the forest. The great gates of Konoha stood infront of them. Kaneda took a deep breath. Ryuu walked beside him.
"Nervous?" Ryuu enquired.
"Very!" was all Kaneda could bring up.
-
Quiri began expressing her concern to the captain, once they arrived at their quarters. "When should we start trying to escape, if something really is amiss?" She glanced around. "I don't want any 'security guards', meaning possible assassins, trying to surprise us."
"We're gonna have to play along for now." Tuhrop replied. "I dont think they are holding us prisoner. They did not exactly say we are not allowed to leave our quarters, as long as we dont go exploring the labs and other restricted areas."
"Besides, we dont know they are working with Cerberus." Tom added. "Well, not yet anyway." he scratched his head. Tuhrop glanced curiously at Tom.
"What do you mean by that?" the Turian Captain asked cautiously.
Tom hesitated for a second, exchanging a grim look. "Promise not to get mad at me? Before we departed the ship, the geth approached me looking for work. I told him... uh, "it"... to do a little digging around this facility."
Tuhrop's eyes widened with suprise. "Why did you not tell me this before?"
"Because you were already off the ship by the time Rogue came up to me on the Engineering deck."
"Dammit Ulrich! You could have compromised everything! Had it ever occured to you that Rogue could have be detected by the security systems?!"
"The thought did occur, but Rogue assured me that his hacking abilities could bypass the security systems and avoid detection. Otherwise, there would be alarms going everywhere by now."
Now can everybody please stop posting OOC's? Thats what the backstage is for))

Shinobi: The Rising Darkness
in Dantooine Theatre Company
Posted
The Hokage had reviewed the list once more, to ensure of no time colision with other priorities. All of a sudden he felt a tap to the shoulder. The shock scared the heck out of him as he yelped.
"So hokage...I see that you made up a list for the mission. Any idea as to when we're going to be heading back to Akagi's village?"
"Next time, please use the door." Naruto said sternly. "The preparations have been complete. Tategami has returned, but its mandatory for every shinobi to take long break inbetween missions. So two days from now, you'll be sent back to Akagi's village."
Naruto gave Karela one of those "I trust you" looks.
"Between you, myself and another; Takeda's progress will be monitored and assessed. I trust you to not inform him about this?"
