coming too I looked around and saw multple weapons pointing at me. Looking at the people carrieing them I saw.....HOLIAN INSIGNAS! My eyes shot open and I tried to move my arms and hands but they had tied them. Looking over I saw two nearby one holding a knife. I spun around knocking down the two closest ones. Grabbing the knife one dropped I cut my bondings and ran for the forest. I activated my emergency beacon just as they shot me with some kind of stun weapon. As I lie there I heard them talking but couldn't make out the words. Then everything started to dim out.

Aaron sighs as they load back into the Archangel
"Well... this was unhelpful... alright, lets get back to the Noble"
The Archangel and her compliment take off, leaving behind two cloaked sensor drones that proceed to map out the planet.

OOC: My people want to observe the frontlines for themselves, and it is not convenient for them to do so as Super Soldiers, they were planing on using your platoon as cover identities. My people will now go to the Vichi Imperial Navy for a posting.
In Game:
Jack pulled out his knife and cut lose the rope in faster then a blink of an eye.....literally.
He then pulled out a datapad, ESSCPA Command started making a list of codewords right after Shogun saw the chip, and it was patched through to him. Those will only be used just this once, most of it are gibberish and numbers. He the threw it to the platoon leader,
"Here is the codewords, patch it through to Zero, destroy it completely after the transmission,"
"How's it coming" the supreme commander asked
"pretty well, take a look for yourself" the engineer said pointing out the window
They were are a hundred or so feet underground in the most massive top secret underground construction facility ever created, literally close to five kilometers in length.
"I can only imagine what she cost" the engineer said
"I prefer not to think about the bill." the commander said
They were looking over the developing skeleton of an entirely new battleship. The only one of its class.
"have they decided on her name?" the engineer asked.
"Yah, the Legacy" the supreme commander said
"fitting"

"have we heard any word from them?" I asked
"no sir, maybe they found a way back" the sergeant said
"maybe, but I doubt it."

.g. hello? When are you guys coming to sickbay ant the fight seans are pretty good but what about coming to me for first aid. Oh and sorry for not being on lately been pretty busy with work.
stray, we decided that it was going too slow so we are basically pretending like endeavour never happened and were back on earth, since logically speaking your character existed (in his timeline) longer then endeavour you can keep him.
"Sir, here's some reports." the lieutenant said
"thanks" I answered
I was sitting at my desk in the headquarters of the base. It was on a hill at the northern corner of the base and I have a splendid view of all of the base from the balcony.
"Alright lets see here..."
I dismissed the lieutenant and started to read through the reports.
One was about the Aggressor and the Gargantuan returning from the war. I wonder who is going to get them...
More importantly was the lack of progress with the armored suits. Only about twelve had been made and only two were battle ready. We needed to equip a few thousand soldiers before the next campaign. The entire project took an unforseen turn, from an improved nano suit to a mobile infantry tank for lack of a better term. They exchanged out some of the parts and are literally trying to turn the think into an infantry sized tank on legs. There was one ridiculous modified version with three man portable PPC's, a missile launcher, and a gauss "for good measure" that could not even walk let alone shoot.
I got a call on the secured line... "sir, its a line through the encryption we used for the terran campaign, the man says his name is shogun." the signal operator said
"alright." I clicked the button and said "hey shogun, how's the reception on the other side of 'only G-d knows where?'"

The Noble maintains its orbit over Terra, warp power diverted to the high capacity sensor grid - every inch of the planet is intricately mapped and detailed and not even cloaked or shielded structures are immune. Only a few spots come back fuzzy, no mean feat in itself.
"The scans are complete captain. It seems that General Zero was telling the truth - there are military bases littered around the planet, many of them now abandoned or in disrepair. Some sort of massive conflict left huge scars across much of the planetscape... whatever happened here, it wasn't pretty" Malcolm said.
"Hm... so where do we go from here?" Aaron mused. "He wasn't exactly thrilled when I offered assistance, though he seemed to think he could hold us prisoner."
"Charming... he did realize we weren't looking to kill, right?" Lieutenant Madison quipped.
"Who knows Erik, though I'm glad it did not come down to bloodshed. Speaking of which, how is Mazz doing?"
"She's recovering nicely - she had some minor head trauma, but other than that she'll be fine." Dr. Dramiel reported.
"Good, good... well then, I think it's time we try and contact the Terran government. Lieutenant Sato, try and get in contact with whomever seems to be in charge here... I need some answers before I choose any sides here. Dismissed!"

"Aw shit, Zero is going to be pissed about this." colonel zimmerman said
"Yah, I know, at least we get to keep the crew." the sergeant said
"thats chickenshit, what are we gonna do with a crew and no ship?" the colonel said
"sorry"
"Don't worry about it." the colonel said
They were reading the new HQ requisition notice. They ordered that the Infinite Angel be reassigned to the 21st Orbital defense fleet.
"Well here's something odd." the sergeant said
"what?"
"right down here, it says that they will eventually send us a new flagship."
"What's the name?"
"I don't know" the sergeant replied
"When is eventually?" the colonel said
"It doesn't say."
"..."

OOC: huh... well there are four cruisers heading to your location, but they aren't going to attack, more to see what is going on.
I guess the best option would be to contact the government through a normal comm.
You can play the government officials (who chances are that they will be a lot nicer about seeing you then my guy was) and considering what is going to happen my guy is going to be leaving soon. But actually shogun's character has an uncle or something in the upper echelons of government and shogun should be heading to earth soon. So you may be able to work that out with him rather nicely.
Oh yeah, by the way a bit of background info about my guy. Around seventy years ago in game they started working on the project that would create the super soldiers and shogun's character. What they did was basically screw around with hundreds of different genes, because before you make somebody super you need to know exactly what effect you are having. Basically the first experiment was with age and trying to prolong lifespan by and extreme amount. They basically had to enhance to a slight degree brainpower and improve the body to cope with it. My guy was the first experiment, hence the designation, Test Subject- 000. And so hence the name "Zero". So while technically he is around 70 ish years old, he is around 19-20 years old biologically. So when we do meet face to face your guy might be a tad surprised that a 19 year old is a brigadier general.
In game:
There was only static, I guess shogun hung up.
"fuck it, I cant wait any longer." I said
"Lieutenant, prepare the shuttle." I told him.
"Im going to depart when ready" I said
"aye sir"
"Call the armory and tell them I want my nanosuit and the armored battle suit in the shuttle. Pack it with just about everything you could imagine me possibly be needing." I said as the orderlies began rushing around.
"Oh, and tell HQ about the visit we had a few days ago." I said
"Sir?"
"I forgot to file a report." I said
"Theyre gonna be pissed as hell." a major said
"Well they can slap me on the wrists if they have the balls to go where I am going."
"Where?" he said
"To the holian capitol, I told the supreme commander I'd be ready for operations in two weeks and its been close to three, Shogun has taken way too much time. When he gets here tell him to contact that uncle of his and try and pull some strings about those guys we saw a while back. And if he really does want to join me after that then get him a shuttle, and have three other guys go with him." I said
We had by now reached the hangar whose sole inhabitant was the large stealth shuttle. It was a sleek dartlike ship. There was a bustling work crew moving cargo and fuel like a hive of wasps. Furiously preparing the shuttle for a one way trip.
"Also," I said "I am going to need some holian civilian clothes."
"Yes sir, we might have some leftover from the liberation." a sergeant said

"Captain, we're being hailed" Malcolm's voice shakes Aaron from his thoughts. He stands and strides from the ready room onto the bridge.
"On screen" he says, turning to the viewscreen as the image comes up.
"Unidentified ship. Power down your engines, you are surrounded. State your intentions." comes over the channel.
"This is the Federation Starship USS Noble. As for our intentions..." Aaron mused for a moment. "We are currently discerning our next course of action - an anomaly deposited us in your space, far from our own. At present we have no means to return."
He turns to the conns station and motions for her to cut the voice.
"Tactical analysis Mr. Madison?"
"They appear to be cruiser class vessels sir, moderately armed and armored but with minimal shielding. They do not seem to pose much of a threat"
"In that case, yellow alert. Charge the primary and secondary shield emitters, bring us up to 110% output, and perform a high-power sensor sweep. Precharge the phaser emitters and take the structural integrity field to its maximum. Maybe we can convince them that attacking is a bad idea..."
He turned back to the viewscreen. "We have no intention of causing you harm - however, we are prepared to defend ourselves should the need arise."
