"It's times like these I wish Kaneda was here. He would know what to do." Ryuu ears raised up when he heard her speak "Kaneda". He knew that name. One of the new students who enrolled in the Kenjustu Academy located within the Land of Forests. Quick learner. Also a very laid-back sort of person, depending on what aspect people see it as. Ryuu viewed it as a weakness. "I know that name... though there are many who are given such a name throughout the world. I wonder if out of all those, the one you mention is the one I am aquainted with." He glanced at Karela. "Originated from Konoha, I think... excellent student. Not to mention lazy. He who your talking about?"

An hour later, Cade returned to the dock - carrying a bag of his luggage, and another bag filled with basic essentials when going on a mission; medpacks, ammunition, etc... He climbed aboard the ramp leading into the freighter Lyna labelled as "The Justice". He was looking forward to seeing the ship through her paces, and how it compares to the Ossanian Angel - which was now in the hands of his own team. Before leaving, he made it clear to them that if they sold her, than he we'll be coming back for a little "compensation". He walked to the cockpit, where he found Lyna. "I'm back. Whats available for accomodation?"

"I have no idea who you are but I just want to thank you for helping Akagi and his men. If you hadn't shown up when you did we might not have made it out of the village alive." Ryuu glanced back. "I was sent here to investigate, because I knew the village well... this was once my home." He looked back at the village, being slowly swarmed with the enemy shinobi. Then back at Karela. "Then I sought another life. But regardless of our differences, they are still my people. I am glad to offer you my assistance." "But you know more than I do already. We intercepted mysterious behaviour in the region, therfor sending me to investigate. Do you have any clue as to who they are and what they are after?"

"Captain, you can call me Rogue," the Geth Platform extended an arm. Hesitantly, Tuhrop shook the Geth's hand. Clearly organics have been under the observation of sentient machines for a long time. "Welcome Aboard, "Rogue"" Tuhrop's mandibles positioned to form what appeared to be a grin. He crossed his arms. "Alright, uh... integrate into the Valkyries systems. And we'll discuss the Cerberus/Genesis data later. There's another matter I need to attend to." He left the brig, after nodding at Thiyan. He walked to the medical bay; where Kallick, Chiron and Frank stood over the comatose Asari laying on the bed. "Damn. Just as I am about to interogate her, she falls asleep at a conveniant enough time." Tuhrop said to his amusement. He stared at the Asari, and the jury infront of her. "Who is she and how did she get onboard." he then turned his attention to the Human with a Walrus Moustache. "And who are you?"

"That was before the Revelation. Most Geth did not worship the Reapers. They saw the Reapers as Old Machines and the Geth that did join as Heretics. After Revelation the Heretics rejected the Old Machines and now all Geth share the view points of the True Geth," It was interesting watching the Geth, and the responces it provided. Not many people have had the opportunity to interact with a geth this up close. Tuhrop saw very little reason how or why a machine would be even capable of lying. He sighed. "I hope I dont regret this..." he reactivated his omni-tool, and disabled the mass effect field barrier imprisoning the Geth. "Alright. If you're going to stay aboard my ship, then you will follow me under my command as your captain. So what should we call you?"

Ryuu just finished pulling his blade out from an enemy shinobi. He was interupted of course when Karela came out of nowhere and ordered a retreat. Akagi responded, and called his troops back. Ryuu dodged an uncoming attack, and leaped atop of a nearby rooftop. He swung his blade through the air to clean it from the staining blood, and out it back in its sheath. He followed Akagi and the rest of the Samurai Warriors across the bridge and towards the mountains where the villagers hid themselves.

Tuhrop continued staring at the Geth. He wondered if it had any reason to lie. Is a machine even capable of lying? "I saw the vessel and was curious. I downloaded a copy of the files to my omni-tool and attempted to hack them. I could only decipher the word "genesis"." "So you want to help us decypher the file?" Tuhrop recalled. "You're asking to join us? But I thought the Geth are allied with the Reapers - sentient machines that threaten organic life?" _____________________________________________________________ Ulrich watched the Asari shake Chiron's hand, with a sense of doubt behind his eyes. Was it a mistake bringing her onboard? Could she be trusted? Afterall, she did compete in a sport that involved slavery as the grand prize. He also felt the same about Frank. Could he be trusted? Was he really what he said he was? Ulrich shook his head, and rubbed his eyes. He had better things to worry about then trust issues. "I got to get back to my duties. System Diagnostics wont run themselves." he exited the medical bay, and headed towards the command deck computer, near the cockpit. It was during then that he remembered the Captain mentioning about a Geth onboard.

"What were you searching for then?" Thiyan asked. "This 'Genesis' you're looking for... what is it? Was it something we found on that freighter? Captain, do you know what it's talking about?" "It was part of the reason why we were on Omega." Tuhrop began. "When we encountered the derelict Cerberus Freighter, we found an encrypted data file on the ship's main computer." He activated his omni-tool around his wrist. He searched through his archives to pull up a holographic representation of the file they encountered, written in a series of characters and numbers Tuhrop could not understand - the only thing understandable was the file's title: Genesis. "Whatever this thing is, it almost costed me my life. I was with an information broker, trying to sell this. In the midst of negotiations, a Sniper took out the broker and his guards. He's been chasing me around the markets, up until now." Tuhrop continued to gaze at the orange holographic projection of the Genesis file. "My guess, it was an agent for Cerberus; trying to clean up their own mess." The captain looked back at the Geth. "So what is your interest with this? Has it got something to do with the Geth?"

I already had an interesting start to the new year. Some bogan/jock decided to park near my car, walk out with a huge frikkin rock, and piff it through the back window - all because he didnt get his chicken nuggets in the drive-thru window. I hate human beings.

Name: Alec Thade Race: Half-Elf Gender: Male Age: 27 Appearance: yeah, i know Reaver Type: Soulreaver Equipment: Nirvana Staff (used as both a Melee Weapon and Long Range, as it gathers psykick energy attuned from the wielding Soulreaver), Hand Canon Pistol. Backstory: Previously, Thade worked as a Blacksmith at the ocean side Seanshire. He had not learned of his abilities until recently when he began hearing people's thoughts. Unable to control them at first, he was soon discovered by the Authorities and the Priests. He has been on the run since then, leaving from town to town. Eventually, he came across a village that wasnt within the jurastiction of the Priests, and learned to control his powers. Now he works as a local Blacksmith whom works under a different alias.

"I... I understand. If you really want to help, you can. I don't mind. But if you change your mind, I won't hold it against you." 'Wait..." he held up a hand to urge the Lyna clone to stop. "Just let me gather my essentials, and I'll rendevous with you later." he pulled out his dataPad. "You go on ahead, and I'll get ready. I can take a shuttle off world and meet you somewhere. Specify a destination?" he scratched his head. "Oh yeah, before you ask; remember that old rust bucket of a ship I had before you... um... nevermind... its still around here somewhere. Do you need it, or have you already got a ship?"

"Not medical expert - that's why I ask you - would you agree that longterm observations of her physical stability and overall health would be best? Or do you feel she'll be fine with the 'regular' release procedures?" Tom stared at Kallic with a confused smirk. "Not a medical expert? And all that just came from the top of your head?" After Quirinius explained her former occupation, Tom scratched his head. "Aria T'loak was getting suspicious, and it doesn't pay to have her breathing down your neck. I'm Quirinius V'tala, by the way." She smiled by way of introduction. "I'm glad to meet all of you." "Tom." he pointed to himself. He looked over at the Salarian and the Krogan Doctor. "You've aleady met Kallic and Chiron. And our captain; Qui'in Tuhrop." He looked back at her. "Which by the way; you may want to speak with him in regards to your current situation and figure out what to do with you." _____________________________________________________________ Tuhrop walked from the bridge, and walked passed the medical bay. He took the stairway down towards the brig - where Thiyan and the Geth resided. It stood in the cell where it was imprisoned by a mass effect barrier. It was in the middle of a conversation with the drell. The turian joined in. "We're heading to the Farther star cluster for temporary refuge until we figure out our next course of action." he turned to the Geth. "I have questions for you. Its not usual to be in the presence of a geth where it can speak vocally. Or maybe our sub-dermal translation implants have gone haywire. But thats beside the point." he crossed his arms. "Are you going to pose a threat against me or my crew?

I assumed it was like a Jak and Daxter-esque setting

Tuhrop walked towards the bridge, where the cockpit resided. The pilot seat was empty. "Naut'aun! Where the hell are you?" Tuhrop announced. Soon the Hanar floated into the cockpit. "We need to get this bird up in the air fast." Tuhrop added. "I dont think we will be visiting this place again any time soon..." It was hard to tell the expression given from a Hanar, but it could be assumed that the floating Jellyfish was confused. "How much did I miss out on, Captain?" "I'll explain later. Just get your keister glued into that chair of yours and get us the hell out of here!" "May I point out captain, that we Hanar do not share similar digestiv-" "NOW!" Tuhrop barked. The pilot did as he was told. The Valkyrie detatched itself from the docking-bay platform, and hovered in mid air. The engines fired up and flew the freighter through the downward structures of omega. Soon the red jellyfish was shrinking into the distance, as the Valkyrie soared away from the asteroid field. "Specify a destination?" Ghost enquired. "Anywhere thats not here!" Turhop replied. "Very well, the Fathar star cluster it is!" The Valkyrie engaged the FTL drive, and soon entered a spinning vortex of stars. Ghost rested his hands behind his head. "Alright, we oughta arrive there within less than an hour." Naut'aun "said" happily. "Well done, Naut." he turned around and walked out of the cockpit. "I have something I need to attend to..." _________________________________________________ "This is the Valkyrie my dear. You should stay here for at least another hour. Then you can walk about that ship if you wish....as it appears we must be leaving." There was a sudden rumble and turbulance. Soon the heavy vibration stopped. "I think we have already left." Tom eyed around the medical bay. He looked back at the Asari, and added a continuation of the story. "Anyway, we found you in the club just lying on the floor. Scared off the Salarian and the two Krogan Body Guards, and called Chiron for assistance. Then we took you aboard, treated you and then happily ever after." Tom made a slight pace around the room. He stopped and crossed his arms. "Unless of course we get stalked by Eclypse Mercs and Chess Fanatics?" ((edited for the sake of Archon's Hanar character, so as to fit him in with the RP ))

I rest my case

lol how practical. how enthusiastic

"What happened to her anyways? Looked like firefight at the Cantina, must assume it happened because of her. Thought there was chess tournament there - was planning on joining when done shopping - can't imagine docile game like chess could turn so brutal; what, was it run by a senile Salarian like myself?" Tuhrop was sitting on the bench, with a blood stained metal tray holding a bullet and tweasers laying beside him. He watched the scene take place as he applied the medigel over his wound. "I think the real question is..." Tuhrop begun, staring at the comatose Asari and the human with the walrus moustache. "Is who are these people and what are they doing aboard my ship? As if a geth on board wasnt enough." There was silence. Tom was the one who broke it. "...We have a geth on board?" "I think you're avoiding the question." Tuhrop enforced. "... sorry, I was chased by some Sniper-wielding lunatic throughout the markets. He killed the information broker I met, and I barely escaped with my life. Its obvious that data is more trouble than its worth: and worst of all, we know absolutely nothing about it." He stood up from the table, and disposed of the medical waste. "We have to get airborn ASAP, before that sniper could conjure up another crude method of execution: like planting a bomb on the hull of our ship!"

"BANZAIIIIII!!!!!" Ryuu heard Akagi announce, as him and his army ran across the bridge to fight off the enemy. With his Dragon Rush technique still active, Ryuu dived from the rooftop and soared across to the bridge where the battle took place. The flaming blur impregnated the hoard of enemy shinobi, rushing from one opponent to the next. He managed to take out some of the enemy, not before his Dragon Rush technique was about to die out. He used the remaining seconds to leap back with the defending Samurai. Ryuu fought along side the Samurai, fending off the enemy.

"Whatever happened between you and Lyna... I guess I want to start over. But if you don't want, I'll just leave right now and stop Sethos. That's my main mission. But I just wanted to see you. To understand something." Cade looked down sadly. "Its not that simple... We have been mourning her for over a year now. And now you just suddenly show up." he took a step toward her. "I'm sorry, but I would feel like I'd betray her if we started all over. You and I both know you yourself cannot replace who she is; no matter how hard you try." "But I can offer you this: if you are serious about taking down the Sethos Empire, then you are going to need my help. Let me offer you my services; as a way for honoring her death."

Now just bare with me. Me and my brother were having a discussion the other day, about what would happen if a zombie apocalypse were to occur. Suppose if one day a pandemic illness has spread throughout the entire world, that fits the profile of "media-interpreted" undead fiends - a la mindless monsters who infect and eat people. Now, after considering this hypothetical scenario; picture yourself in that scenario. Presume that your government has taken the right measures; like quarantine and evacuation. And amidst this, people will presumably go about looting stores, without the hassle of security (save for the danger of being eaten alive and turned into another zombie). The military sets up refugee camps, etc etc... the things you would expect to see if an apocalypse were to occur. After picturing yourself in that scenario (and this is where my brother and I heavily speculated) where would you be when all this happens? What would you do and how would you go about sheltering yourself from hordes of pesky undead? How would you defend yourself? Its interesting to hear what other people think, because it basically tests them on their logic and survival instinct, if such a thing were to ever happen.

I'm interested. Could you give us a basic char sheet template, so we have something to work on?
