| Searching the Carsh Obsidian Original Characters 2016/10/30 6:09 1856 1
Entering the crash site we begin making our way to the bridge in the hopes of finding the ship's logs which we hope will allow us to figure out where everyone went and why. I split the search party into two teams. I take Caewon with me and Aini so that Dr Omega has some combat and magic ability along with his man Fred. Radiation levels are high and thankfully Caewon has some countermeasure spells to protect himself. Aini and I are well protected by our armor and mine is actively reducing local radiation levels by absorbing the ambient energy. The place is eerie, and our every movement echoes throughout the corridors of the massive craft. A green fog clings to the floors as thick as soup at about knee height. I make take a little extra time to make sure everyone's life support is working because I'd rather be safe than sorry. Every so often as we make our way through the treacherous debris we see deep gouges in the walls the likes of which appear to be claw marks larger than a man's head. What we don't see are bodies, which is odd because there's should be more than a few casualties in a crash of this kind and with a crew this size. Every so often we can hear pieces of the ship clanging and clattering. We're startled more than a couple times by the suddenness of a ceiling beam or something similar falling nearby. Most of our scanners are fouled up by the radiation making finding a clear path next to impossible.
"Be careful where you step"
I offer up, making note that the deck plates are heavily damaged, but no sooner do I utter the words when a massive section behind us simply falls away. I catch Caewon just in time and pull him up from certain death. However. now our way out is now compromised as we can't backtrack.
"Shadawar This is Obsidian do read?"
"I-ead-etttin--atic---oevr"
The garbled reply is more bad news, the radiation is now interfering with communications. I'm not worried about the radiation hurting me but this ship is a death trap and despite all the things my armor protects me from. being crushed to death is no one of them. I try to get through to the other team but it's no use, no signal is getting through. I decide to attempt to boost eh signal and have my team stop while I make the necessary adjustments. As I fiddle around with controls I catch movement out of the corner of my eye in the shadows, I spin around and point my pistol in the general direction and begin scanning with every system I have but it's all useless. Now I'll tell you a secret, my armor is really great at protecting from most things but what it doesn't protect from is slashing, acid, crushing and freezing, arrows, swords, and claws, are serious concerns for me despite everything else the armor does so I'm not invulnerable okay?So when I see something move I tend to get a bit jumpy. I feel like we're being watched and I don't take chances. Radiation rarely interferes with magic so I have Caewon cast a spell to detect living beings. He casts the spell and says
"There's nothing living that my spells reveal."
"What about undead?"
"What?" Aini asks with not just a little bit of fear in her voice.
"Undead can you sense undead?"
"I will try."
As he begins his incantation i am nearly impaled by a shaft of metal that goes screaming past my head, missing me by a matter of millimeters. The one 20 millimeter thick shaft is launched with enough force to penetrate the reinforced bulkhead behind me and bury itself nearly half a meter deep. We each turn to face the source and are stunned to discover...nothing. You ever get the feeling someone's screwing with you? Yeah me too, just now as a matter of fact. I turn up the volume on my sound pickups so maybe I'll hear something my elven ears can't. Without warning a last of steam explodes from behind a wall panel knocking Aini to the floor and filling the section of the corridor. Without sensors I'm basically blinded and I do the only thing I can do, I close my eyes and listen...I can hear three people nearby. i grab my sword and quietly extend the metal blade from within it's extra-dimensional sheath. I have to listen for Caewon's cape, so I don't hit him by mistake. I use my free hand to hold Aini down and instinctively she stops moving and offers no resistance. God I love how she does that. I hear a thud from an unfamiliar step and swing my blade with all the skill I have and hit...nothing? Dafuq? As suddenly as it began the smoke clears and the first thing I notice is that Caewon is missing. Great it's pick off the heroes time in the spooky alien ship? I've seen this movie before, only one survivor, maybe two...yeah not today. I retract my blade back into the sword hilt and use the magic at my disposal, I choose to cast a location spell to trace Caewon.
"What are you doing master?" Aini ask out of concern. "I'm trying to cast a location spell, but it's coming up with nothing."
"Any idea why?"
There's really only one possibility. The mage's name is NOT Caewon."
"How can you tell?"
"There's only two things that would stop the spell from working, one is an "Amulet of protection from scrying" and the other is not knowing the subject's real name. I have a manifest of his magic items from when he joined us and there's no such amulet or other item listed, so no matter what he either lied about his magic items or he lied about his name." "So what do we do then master?"
"We keep going. If we run into whoever or whatever it is that snatched Caewon we try to capture them or it."
I hope the others aren't having this hard of a time.

The final member of the amazing Anizonz is probably their most powerful, but she lacks the confidence to fully live up to her potential, and she lost a portion of that potentially devastating power to mysterious circumstances forcing her to seek out other mysterious means to gain it back which led her to becoming a part of this team. Only the future will tell if she can ever figure out how she got to be where she is today and if she can truly use her powers as a beautiful gift or an ugly curse. |

The second-in-command of the Anizonz behind Dust Bunny. She is one of a race or dog-like mutants from the planet Stoneton in the CSCU, it is the same world that one of the characters of the Super-Mutant Nine, Kole Rock Head, is also from. Coincidentally, Rock Head is also the second-in-command of his team, and her bio here explains that he was something of a mentor to her, so she has somewhat followed in his footsteps to co-lead her own team. One thing that I did not explain in the bio though is why she is called "Terrier." Well, it's just simply that's the kind of dog that she is based on, no more no less, and her full real name of Kerry Airedale Bedlington is made up of the names of various breeds of terriers. |

| Storm before the calm Obsidian Original Characters 2016/10/28 0:28 1624 1
A herd of large reptiles rush us from the forest edge and I don't know if it's because there's a Psi-Mage here or what but I instinctively go for my sword and fire up the energy blade. It hums loudly as the intermix chamber fires up and antimatter and matter collide inside the two way forcefiled that makes up the blade. A split second later and I hear a similar sound come from Shadawar, With a speed that belies their size over half a dozen have closed the 200 meter gap between us in seconds, and are instantly mere meters away. I spot the alpha of the group which isn't hard as it's the largest and I make a bee line for it. I hear Aini shout "No!" as I leap into the fray joined quickly by Shadawar. The alpha pounces launching itself into the air nearly fifteen feet off the ground. This beast which looks something like a small Tyrannosaurus, with a spiky head probably weighs in at nearly a ton, but against us it's not really that impressive. As my sword reaches the beast's neck I hear the sound of searing flesh and a gurgle of surprise. The beast's massive body falls lifelessly to the ground followed immediately by it's severed head, the look of surprise frozen on it's face. Out of the corner of my eye I see Aini with her twin pistols drop one, then another and another, I hear the familiar hum of a weapon powered by pure psychic energy and the sound of searing flesh yet again and another reptilian giant falls, the remaining stragglers at the back of the herd think better of this fight and flee back into the dark forest the emerged from.
'Who else wants some!?!?" Screams Aini at the top of her lungs like some lioness unloosed. More than a couple of us are taken by surprise by her outburst but I guess that's what adrenaline does. I don't think anyone was expecting the quiet little demoness to go ape like that, nor did I know she was such a good shot. Shadawar approaches me,
"Your skill with a Psi-Blade is impressive Obsidian. I was unaware That you were a fellow Psi-Mage or perhaps.." he pauses staring down my firearms "A Psi-Hunter?"
"Neither actually but I did receive formal training in the use of energy blades."
"I have seen every kind of energy blade in existence, and that weapon you wield is no energy blade.I have only ever seen it ilk in the hands of my brethren." he says examining the now blade-less hilt of his own deadly weapon.
"it's special, one of a kind...I don't know what I was thinking using it in .this situation anyway. A gun would have been much more effective as Aini clearly demonstrated."
"Indeed, still I am happy we did not have to resort to spell-play."
"Me too and that reminds me..."
I wave for Caewon to join our discussion and instruct both of them.
" I want you to refrain from using destruction magic as much s possible or at least refrain from casting lightning and fire spells, in this forest environment it could become quite...problematic understood?
Caewon and Shadawar both nod in agreement, and we return to our investigation into the ruins where possibly the surviving crew took shelter. Our earliest scans indicated that the ship had been flooded with radiation over time and would have become uninhabitable and the crew would've had to take shelter somewhere, this being the most likely place. The ruins are really a sight to behold still mostly intact and according to our scanners nearly 100,000 years old the materials the architects used are phenomenal and stand up incredibly well to weathering with almost no signs of wear. Closer examination reveals that the stone work isn't stone at all but some kind of metal. How could such a primitive society manipulate a metal this resilient? The stonework looks like a mixture of Roman and Mayan with a tough of something else. High pillars mark the front of dozens of buildings which dot the landscape. The thing that keeps bothering me though is the fact that everything is so pristine. Where did the people go and why leave everything behind? We find traces of partially eaten meals and laundry that sits in what would have been the was, all over jobs half completed as if the entire population simply got up, dropped everything they were doing, and walked away. Its very unsettling to say the least and I star making the rounds to make sure everyone has biological protective gear handy. I know |

| Search Party Obsidian Original Characters 2016/10/27 13:16 2371 1
As the ship closes in on the vortex a tendril of energy lashes out and grabs hold of the warp rings on the aft section spinning the ship on its axis, violently lurching everyone and everything. I know from the Kryllian data tapes that we have to travel headlong into tehe eye of the vortex or the ship is gonna be ripped to shreds.
"Engineering this is the bridge what's happening to my ship?"
"The vortex is pulling at the warp rings and it's causing us to rotate into the eye!"
"Shut them down NOW! Helm go to maneuvering thrusters only"
"Aye aye!"
Immediately the ship begins to right itself so that we're back on course and headed directly into the center of the storm as it were.
Suddenly the ship begins to fill with a white light and my cybernetics eyes go haywire, everything electrical starts having a conniption and it makes for a bumpy ride. Computer panels short and sparks fly the ship shakes and shudders and anyone not sitting is hurled violently to the floor as the vibrations threaten to tear the ship apart completely. The ship begins falling apart from the inside as wiring falls from the ceiling as a metal tile nearly decapitates my navigator. A wave of terror washes over me as the realization that I may have just doomed us all floods my mind. Then as suddenly as it all started the ships is still and calmly floating through space. The bridge looks like hell and small fires have broken out across the ship.
"Ops Status report!"
The operations chief still in his chair remains motionless a large metal pipe nearly five feel long and 4 inches wide has pierced through his armor pinning him in place, killing him instantly. Another officer runs over to his station and quickly punches in station reports from across the ship.
"We have full power but our weapons and shields are off line, there are several fires all over the ship and crew are working to put those out. Hyperdrive is off line, Fold systems are down as is warp propulsion. Life support is good and we have sub-light engines functional. Casualty reports several crewmen injured and 5, er 6 dead."
"Make that 7"
Shadawar adds pulling a slumped over helmsman from his station. Apparently the panel didn't jus com close as I glance over to see a gaping wound in his neck.
"Fine get repairs underway, and a medical team up here." I tap the intercom button and call all available senior officers to the briefing room and once the last of them arrives we begin discussing how to proceed in looking for the lost Kryllian warship. According to our scans there is a habitable in this system that the ship could have made it too, and it only make sense to begin our search there. Sabrina informs me that our teleportation systems are completely shot and will need replacing as soon as we can get home assuming we can get home. Replication systems are similarly off line and we'll have to go to hard rations for the time being, and unless we can find somewhere to resupply our food stores we'll be out of food and water within a month. We can supplement using the systems on board my fighter and the shuttle so there's no immediate danger of running out of supplies any time soon. With the bridge cleared of debris and some makeshift repairs done I order the ship the nearest J type planet. The IGFW ranks J types as most similar to Earth but unfortunately the nearest planet capable of sustaining life is a type L which while livable is covered shore to shore in dense forest and jungle. A close scan reveals a crash site and a Kryllian Battleship. The ships markings and and working transponder reveal that it our wayward vessel, mostly intact but inoperable. I have everyone get ready to head planetside and meet me in the shuttle bay. The new shuttle is going to work today. Now while I have the capacity to evacuate small groups of up to 5 people at a time the shuttle doesn't have the capacity to transport the crew of over 1,000 expediently. Unless our telporters are repaired the evacuation could take a couple of days. I order a couple of squads down to the planet using my fighter and see if they can't salvage anything from the Kryllian wreckage that we might be able to retrofit to our ship. Sabrina is gonna earn her pay today.
I land the shuttle in a massive ruin not far from the crash site and we begin our scans there. Kryllians are reptilian and scanning for them proves to be difficult at best since this planet is teaming with reptilian life, some of which has decided to introduce itself. |

| The Ghost Planet Obsidian Original Characters 2016/10/26 17:52 1750 1
Our arrival at the system that is home to the Ghost Planet is quick but none of the stories I have read or been told have prepared me in any way for what I see on my main view screen. Derelict ships of every size and shape imaginable drift lifelessly throughout the sector, their crews long gone or dead. Many of the ships predate known space travel and still other are designs unknown in this galaxy. A feeling of foreboding permeates the Sable as we navigate the floating wreckage of this starship graveyard. As we clear a massive destroyer the likes of which would make the Sathari envious I see the the vortex. A beam of energy connects it to the planet below and something immediately grabs my attention: Fully half of the planet has been torn away from the core creating and asteroid field as treacherous as any I have ever navigated. Every story and very once of research I have been privy to describes the planet as whole but with a thin atmosphere yet the planet before me has clearly been torn asunder and what atmosphere remains reads as thick and breathable. I call the senior officers to my briefing room along with Dr. Omega and his assistant to discuss this turn of events before we proceed.
Assembled around the conference table is The Doctor, Fred, The sage Caewon, Shadawar my first officer, and Sabrina my newly acquired chief engineer. The vertical windows in the back of the room clearly show the destruction and devastation we are about to address,
"Ladies and Gentlemen as you can see we have something of a problem, we are at the correct coordinates but a planet that should be in one piece clearly is not and we need to know why before we get and closer to that vortex which is dangerous enough on it's own. Doctor have you seen anything like in your travels?"
The doctor looks ponderous as if scanning through his vast memories to find some comparison with his brow furrowed he looks at me and says
"I have seen destruction of this magnitude before but there are typically traces of high levels of radiation and ionization from the discharge of a massive weapon of some sort which would be readily apparent to your scanners.'
"True," Shadawar adds "However, none of our scanners cked up radiation levels high enough to indicate the use of such a weapon."
Caewon stares out the window, his voice barely above a whisper, he says: "If one was simply going to demolish a planet then why bother replenishing the atmosphere? It doesn't make sense."
"I agree with Caewon's assessment, it wouldn't make sense unless..." Dr Omega's words trail off.
"Unless what?" I almost say "Idiot" since he stopped so abruptly but I resist the urge, if he knows something I want to hear it and the sooner the better.
"Unless that's not the ghost planet."
Everyone in the room looks stunned at that revelation, but if that's the case I'll know in a hot second. "Chief Walters, I want you to luanch some probes to the other side of that planet and then scan the debris field and taking into account the various ships that are here. combine the data from the probes and our scans and see if there's enough debris in this asteroid field to account for one and a half planets."
"I'm on it captain." "As for the rest of you, see what other theories you can come up with. I don't care how far out they might seem. If they're even slightly plausible I want to hear em."
Everyone agrees in turn and I head back to the bridge with Shadawar to help prep the launch bays for the probes. As soon as they're ready we launch. as the probes pass the vortex two of the seven fired are snagged by energy tendrils from the vortex as they and are instantly vaporized. The remaining five make it into position and we begin receiving data.
As the data is finished being analyzed I get an urgent call from engineering.
"Engineering to the bridge, captain Dr Omega and I know what's going on...beyond any shadow of a doubt. Gather everyone in the briefing room."
Within moment we are all reassembled and anxious to know what exactly is happening.
"Okay Chief tell us what you got."
"We scanned the debris field as you ordered and sent out the probes. What we found was that your suspicions are spot on. This planet isn't the ghost planet, and it doesn't match anything on file."
"Meaning?"
"Meaning it came here from somewhere else."
"How could that be?" Caewon asks.
"I'm glad you asked, The planet we're looking at can only have come from one place and the probe data confirmed it."
"And where is that chief, please keep in mind my patience is thin"
"Quite simply..." Dr. Omega says, it came from the vortex.
This revelation is a surprise indeed...and for me only brings up more questions. Shadawar asks "How can an entire planet come out of that vortex, the apagey ism't nearly large enough to accommodate a battleship let alone an entire planet?"
"No true." the Doctor continues, "What you see with your eyes and what initially appear on scanners is something of an illusion, when subjected to tachyon burst the true scale of the vortex is nearly 12,000 miles wide more than enough to accommodate that planet. What remains of the ghost planet is largely debris and the side of the planet that we can see is relatively whole but where the two planets impacted is pure devastation. Still enough gravity remains to hold on to what precious little atmosphere remains."
"Okay then, doctor..." I ask breaking the silence of the stunned room. Where the hell is that beam of energy supplying the vortex coming from if not from the ghost world?"
Caewon interjects at this point and clears the whole mess up. "It's easy to figure out captain, the source of power is magical in nature." Gesturing to Shadawar he asks "Can't you feel it? That feeling of nausea and uneasiness like you're in the presence of something truly powerful?"
It sounds far fetched, a vortex sustained by magic, I have seen permanent spells that create light or other spells in place such as with swords and items of power even relics but nothing of this...sheer magnitude. Someone would have to tap into the very fabric of the energy that makes magic possible in order to do something like this. What were those fools thinking.
"So the vortex is self sustaining then? Regardless of any intervening forces even cataclysms like two planets smashing into one another?"
"It's hard to say for certain but I'd wager it's more likely than not given the evidence at hand."
Dear gods, what have I gotten us into.
"Okay everyone make whatever preparations you need to because we're gonna head straight for the center of that vortex and gods willing we'll make it there and back in one piece."
I only hope I'm making the right call here because the alternative is grim..very grim. |

| Man's best friend Obsidian Original Characters 2016/10/26 4:15 2123 1
The Sathari cruiser that was waiting here when we arrived here in the Namae system hails us and I'm a little uneasy considering the fact that I'm not speaking to my best friend whose second in command of the empire. On screen is a uniformed captain who looks a little too Nazi for my tastes but is otherwise completely cordial.
"Greetings Danar, I am Captain T'briel of the cruiser Exeter. I have on board an envoy assigned for personal protection assigned to you by the emperor himself. He'll have more details and his orders with him upon his arrival."
"I'm sorry did you say Danar?"
"Yes , Danar is the name for all former high ranked officials after they leave office."
"You guys don't play around with the formalities do you? I was told to expect the arival of some personal security but I have a detail assigned to my ship already."
"Yes sir, I'm aware of that but this officer has been hand-picked by the emperor as I stated previously he'll have more information with him. We'll send his shuttle over when you're ready."
"Very well, send him over. Obsidian out."
In moments a tiny little shuttlepod arrives in our shuttle bay and I am there to greet it with my new personal security detail and as always Aini eager to prove herself. I have briefed them that if anything seems amiss to shoot to kill and ask questions later. Not everyone in the Sathari empire was happy when Analaeus took over or with my appointment as High Justiciar. More than a few have tried to kill me in the last few years but you have to get up pretty early in the morning to assassinate an assassin. Still that never stopped the few ca[able of it from trying. In the meantime I have already contacted Ananlaeus who was at the moment in acouncil with the regional governors and was not going to be able to confirm this guy's identity, I send a message to Harley as well just to be safe and hope maybe he's in the loop.
As the rear hatch opens I am stunned to see a Lunari, black furred and clad in the Nazi-ish uniform the Sathari are known for. I have to remember to have a talk with Harley about those uniforms. The lunari is a male about 6 feet tall with some kind of optical scanner on his head adn wearing a half cape which I personally think looks to be a bit too much but is actually standadr issue for the Sathari Psi-Mage division. Suddenly it dawns on me why this guy was assigned to me and the second my men see the cape the draw their weapons.
"This guy doesn't flinch he instead salutes and very carefully hands me his orders. I read them over carefuly and what it boils down to is that because of the nature of my personal life the emperor has deemed it necessary for me to be assigned additional security of an arcane nature. Apparently guns can only do so much but I can understand where he's coming from.
"What's your name soldier?"
"Sub-commander Shadawar reporting as ordered Danar and may I add it is an honor to be assigned as your personal guard."
"Oh? Why is that sub-commander?"
"To be honest sir, your exploits are well known to all of us in the Sathari empire and anyone working dignitarty security would give his right arm to be assigned to anyone who sees the kind of action you do."
"Too many old farts puttering around at social functions and rubbing elbows with snobby aristocrats?"
"Something like that sir."
at that moment I get the word from Harley that I should expect a large black German Sheppard-looking mofo to arrive at any time. Okay this guys is on the up and up. His qualifications are impressive, he knows rank 10 spells, tier 56 psionics too. Yeah this guy is exactly what I expect Analaeus would assign me. I need a new first officer and he's got the credentials and then some.
"Shadawar is it?"
"Yes sir."
"How would you like to be my first officer?"
"I don't see how that would be possible sir, I'm assigned to be your personal security."
"Actually , your orders say right here "...or in whatever capacity you deem necessary." Leaving you free for such duties if I see fit. So what do you say?"
"It would be my honor sir. Okay I'll brief you in full on your specific duties later, just for now know you're second in command."
The shuttle returns to the Sathari cruiser and make our way to the ghost planet...at this point we're about as ready as we're ever gonna be. |

| The Sage Obsidian Original Characters 2016/10/23 5:41 1537 2
The central database on Namae 4 directs me to a desert region on a remote colony and indicates that a lone mage is the foremost expert ie sage, on vortex phenomenon. We make a bee line to a group of pyramids where stands a temple dedicated to the gods of light. Outside hovering ominously is a small spaceship created and sustained entirely by magic. I love those but in a dead zone they're done and you're probably gonna plummet to your death. As Aini and I approach the temple we are greeted by a man named Gygas. he opens his arms and greets us with open arms and a smile.
"Welcome my friends!"
"Um have we met?"
"No no my friend, but I am happy to see anyone in this remote location and I've been doing research here alone for months. I assume since you're armed to the teeth and haven't removed any of your weapons from their holster that you must be a friend yes?"
Can't really argue with that logic so I od and drop the subject.
"Actually um we're here to find the foremost expert in the five galaxies on the subject of.."
"Vortexes?"
"Yes."
"Well you're looking at him, what can I do for you."
"Ghost planet, has developed one."
"I'll pack immediately and meet you there."
"Whoa there pal we are not heading there now and I wasn't offering an open invitation to join us."
"Of course not, but you'll not get the information you need unless I'm there to see this firsthand."
"Fine."
"I'll need to bring my ship it has a lot of specialized magic for this type of research."
"Sir," Aini interjects, "My master will require a complete list of all items before they can be brought on board our ship, including any and all magical items and weapons."
"Your ship? I thought I would be following your vessel here."
He gestures at the Wraith and Aini lets a giggle escape her lips.
No sir this small vessel will be parked in the main shuttlebay of a much larger ship."
"I see very well then is there room for my ship as well?"
"Yes sir, plenty." We head back to the Sable and in no time Gygas is on board with his sullies and a thorough manifest. Our next stop...The Ghost planet. |

| Namaean Stargate Obsidian Original Characters 2016/10/21 15:46 1529 2
I have a lot of history with the Namae so I head there to see if I can't hunt down a couple of scientific experts in Vortex phenomenon, the Namae are widely known for having expertise in a great many fields, but it varies from colony to colony. So I'll head to their Central planet and see if we can't search their libraries. Before any of that happens I'll have to gate in. The Stargates, are a miracle of science just for their awesome size their not easy to get into since the destination for each traveler has to be punched in one ship at a time but it cuts a huge check out of the travel time and folding in can start some interstellar shit I don't want to deal with. Fortunately today traffic is light and it's only a two hour wait. Emerging through the Nameaan gate I'm immediately hailed by a Sathari cruiser. This is gonna be fun. |

| The Big One Obsidian Original Characters 2016/10/19 13:58 1748 2
As I leave Earth's star port I happen to notice a woman on the commuter who seems to be taking an interest in the shuttle's systems. Out of nowhere she makes a mad dash to the cockpit completely freaking out the pilots.
"You have to land this thing now!"
"What, the? Hey you're not supposed to be up here lady! Return to your seat now!"
Her response is one of legend as she knocks the pilot cold with a single hit and screams at the co-pilot.
"Land now or I'll do it myself!"
Taken aback by the the nap delivered to his partner the co-pilot complies. The second we hit the tarmac security swarms the tiny craft. Me and the crazy lady are pulled tot he side and detained, being armed to the teeth almost guaranteed I'd be lined up with her. We're escorted to the back of a paddy wagon and as they're about to close the door the starboard engine on the commuter bursts into flames. The crazy lady now looks a hell of a lot less crazy. I lean over and whisper.
"Did you know that was gonna happen?"
"Anyone with a brain knew that was gonna happen, the engine's harmonics were completely off for a type 218 Jumper, the acoustic frequency should be 480.3 megahertz but it was off by 30 megahertz and the most likely source is the plasma injector thermo-couple and since it was just the Starboard side that was off it was a logical conclusion that the starboard engine was in serious jeopardy. In fact the resonance was declining by 40 Megahertz per second while the pilots delayed. There simply wasn't time to tell anyone though."
"So you just took charge. So you could tell all of that by the way the engine sounded." "Yeah my trainers in the academy said I had a gift."
"So you were in the military?"
"12 years actually to tell you the truth I liked it a lot better than this gig, just endless hours of going over someone else's work and tons of mindless paperwork, but what else am I gonna do? The military life just wasn't for me too many rules too many proceedures, they're just too rigid in how hey do things."
"What do you do now?"
"You see those guys overlooking the shuttle?"
"Yeah."
"I'm their boss."
"No shit?"
"No shit."
Sure enough the security guys discover her identity and come over to release the both of us, she's the only one that gets an apology though. I head to the new shuttle that arrives but before I do...
"Hey Miss? What's your name?"
"Sabrina, Sabrina Walters."
"Well Sabrina, I have a ship of my own and I could use someone as skilled as you. You think you'd be interested in being my chief engineer? The pay is god and you could run engineering however you see fit. Whadaya say?"
"I don't know, I don't know a thing about you and I my job pays really well."
"I see, well let me introduce myself then, I'm called Obsidian Mask, and..."
"The same obsidian mask that stopped Dominion? The same Obsidian Mask who's second in command of the Sathari Empire? The Captain of the LIllun?"
Her eyes are as big as saucers, and her voice is filled with excitement, apparently I'm a celebrity?
"Yes, that Obsidian Mask."
"I've heard about your ship, is it true you use space-fold generators? Do you really utilize magical components with the on board ship systems?"
Okay, maybe my ship is more famous than me.
"While all of that is true Sabrina I'm not captaining the Lillun anymore."
"Oh" she says disappointingly
"I have a new ship called the Sable, she parked over there."
I gesture to towards my ship where several others are docked nearby.
"That one there the big black one."
"That is a bit smaller then the Lillun, it looks fast."
"It is, and it has nearly all of the same systems the Lillun has."
"Including space fold?"
"Space fold, Hyperdrive, and Warp Rings."
"Wait, how did you get warp and hyperdrive systems to work without causing an intermix conflict in the drive cores?"
"Um maybe you should ask the engineers I have. Does that mean you'll take the job?"
"How much does it pay?"
I scribble a number down and her eyes get even wider.
"Are you serious?Is that annually or...?"
"No that's per month, just one thing."
"What's the catch?"
"You're bridge crew for all intents and have to attend all meetings for bridge members."
"I think I can handle that, You sir, have yourself a deal, I'll pack my bags and board ASAP."
"Good to have you aboard Sabrina, we depart in 5 hours."
"I'll be ready in 4."
We shake hands and go our separate ways, I start getting the ship ready for departure, I hope this woman is as good as she seems because I'm placing a lot on her shoulders. Still need to complete my crew the only positions open now are chif medical, Tactical, helm and science officer...I'm gonna have to go off world for the others I think. |

| Makeover darth_paul Original Characters 2016/10/15 7:48 1647 3
Makeover is a traitor to the Xel Empire, or at least that's how the Empire sees her. She's really just the only one of her kind that sees through the evil of the Empire and seeks to use her knowledge and training as one of their former operatives against them for the greater good of the universe as a rebel who works with their enemies to put a stop to the spread of their conquest so that no more planets or people must suffer under their rule. |

I was going through my archives of characters that I need to make bios for and I found that I had forgotten to include this guy when I did the rest of the characters of the Xel Empire! Well, I guess it's better later than never, and his skeletal death-bot vibe certainly fits in with the spooky month of October, so you could say that the timing has worked out in my favor after all. |

| F**k you Bats Obsidian DC Comics 2016/10/14 23:31 1740 2
You nearly killed Bane when you shot him. I told you, that's not how we do things in Gotham.
Of course it isn't Bats, Let me see if I can figure out exactly how you do things in Gotham. First you stop a guy who kills people, then you put him in a nuthouse where he's sure to be released in months rather then fried in the chair, but instead they escape time and again, and each time you go get em. It's like shampoo, lather rinse repeat. Tell me though, each time someone like the Joker gets out, how many folks does he kill? I bet you know exactly how many people he's killed. And every time he gets out he does it again. As many times as you had the chance to stop him once and for all, the blood of those innocent and not so innocent people are on your hands as much as his. Bane is no less dangerous, some of these guys are irredeemable like rabid dogs, and there's only one thing you do with a rabid dog, but I bet you're standing there thinking that you're better then me because you don't kill. Afraid that it gets easier every time...well it doesn't Bats, in fact it gets harder every time. You pray that the next guy you have to put a bulletin does something...anything...to give you a reason not to, but they never do. You though, you keep this never ending cycle going all so you can be the Bat. The end result is that the bystanders pay for your ego and arrogance, and on behalf of all those who could have lived if you were willing to cross the line when absolutely necessary...Fuck you Bats.
With that I leave and I will never come to this universe again. |

| Inside the Sable Obsidian Original Characters 2016/10/14 12:31 1670 1
I have dropped the Lillun back off to Harley and of course thanked him for loaning it to me so I could pick up my new ship. I have named her the SS Sable and while were safe in Sathari space I'll have her refitted. I have asked Harley to loan me some of the crew from the Lillun temporarily while I hunt down a new crew of my own and along with all I'm doing for the ship he obliges with a smile. It's good to have life long friends. The layout of the Sable's bridge is going to take some getting used to but it's not too drastically different from the Lillun or the Runt. I can't wait to get moved in to my new quarters and get a new FTL drive put in her, I coordinate everything with Harley's people and Find that the Emperor himself has assigned me a full time Psi-Mage as my personal guard along with a small compliment of troopers which he says is customary for anyone leaving a high ranking position in the empire. So I have some muscle on the trip. The Psi-Mage is a Hathhiss By the name of Shrrisa and she's one tough looking customer I think I'm going to like her. Once my bags are packed and I've said my farewells I head straight to the Solar system destination: Earth.
