one more day til Prius is Launched.... hm.... ^_^

09:10:25 Erin~Bereni was outside, getting flowers for Grif, but the media wanted to interview her for her quick thinking and heroics at the hospital, but she declined to comment as she reached back to Tj's estate, walking in before the guards nthere stopped the media. She hurries up to the medic bay and into a room where Grif was recovering from his surgety, and he lost quite a bit of blood. The nurse brought over a vase of water as she sets the flowers in and puts it by the dresser, sitting on the lounge chair and remain quiet as he slept.

09: 27: 33 [Angel Dark] A sleepless night brought with it an early morning as the first rays of sun found Angel on the beach about half a yard from the abandoned airfield where she spent a great deal of her time, tinkering with the old machines, whenever there was anything on her mind. It was one of her many character flaws that she knew would get her into the most trouble someday; her inability to tell others when something troubled her. It was somewhat like Karlinn’s reminiscing and/or bouts of wonderment whenever things became too much; something she’d witnessed personally the day after the raid on the airfield, that had resulted in Howl’s temporary employment. It had been funny to her; she’d gone in to ask him what was going on and, to also thank him for repaying the favor he owed her for an event he would not have been able to have if not for her; Karlinn however had ignored her question and they’d spent the better part of an hour talking about peace, war, and the greed of humanity. Given Aquaria’s history there was irony in the topic. Burying her toes deeper into the sand, Angel watched the day begin, paying no mind to the water as it slowly sensed to lap at her feet; the tide going out in an attempt to follow the moon for a bit, as she liked to put it. Within a half hour or so the beach would be much wider than it had been when she’d gotten there several hours earlier. While the water receded, Angel removed all but the pair of under armor shorts and matching sports bra, leaving her pants, and cut off tunic neatly folded on a patch of grass, with her cross sheath and crescent blades on top of them, then picking up a good sized stick she began to draw and intricate web of designs; most of which matched the scars on her back. When this task was done, Angel looked at it for a moment; deciding on what song she would move to this time. In the end she chose what was called ‘A warrior’s lullaby’ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ6nGH1F_W4). Adorning her cross sheath once more, she swayed slightly humming the tune while she moved to where she would begin her dance. Ultimately, when done right, every movement she made once she began would be completely in sync with the song; her movement fluent while she affectively avoided stepping upon any of the lines, while her blades moved to defend and attack against invisible enemies. Normally this would have been done with a group of blade dancers, all singing the same song while attacking and defending against one another, but there were no blade dancers here on Aquaria; so she was alone

09:28:17 Grif becomes conscious and finds himself to be in a hospital room. He sat up and rubbed his eyes. "What the fuck happened?" he said. When he turned he saw Erin sitting there. "Oh shit!" he said being startled by her and falling backwards off the bed, hitting the floor head first. "Owch...that hurt...."

09:31:21 Erin~Bereni gasps as the nurses came quickly and help him back on the bed, in which after, Erin got up and hugged him, giving him a kiss on the cheek, which surprised some of the saff there " Thank you Grif, for training me privately in tatical negotation and quick thinking...I'm sure we would all been dead if it wasn't for your training" and hugs him again.

09:34:30 Grif after she kissed him he just stared at her. When she hugged him again he hugged her back saying, "N-no problem, I guess....and Im pretty sure that we would have survived even if you didnt know how to do any combat. You would just to have to leave it up to me. After all, I am the best of the best...Well not the best, but second best...."

09:37:41 Erin~Bereni chuckles " Well you just rest then, I made sure you get some good food, the medic food are really not all that nutrious..and don't worry about the invader, he was excuted the same night...for I think two captial crimes...abduction being one of them" she didn't mention the aquarian media and know they were safe here sine it was hard for the media to get into Karlinn's estate to being with.

09:41:38 Grif "Ive already rested enough. I need to get some training done." he says having difficulty stand up. Once he could he walked over to his armor and started to put it on. "You still want to go to Earth, Erin?" he said after he put his helmet on.

09:44:14 Erin~Bereni grabs him and pulls him back down on the bed " Get back here! You had major blood loss from delayed medical care, you need rest...Earth will be there when you get better, and training, you can wait...or do I have to ask the nurse to restraint you?" She does what she does because she cares.

09:48:06 Grif "No I dont need to be restrained. But Im only listining to you because I care about you and stuff. But if we werent going out, no matter if your a princess or not, I would just go do what I need to do. So your lucky." he said laying down on the bed. "Wake me, when you need me." he said closing his eyes.

09:54:48 Erin~Bereni waits for him to be asleep before getting up and heads on out, having some things to do, asking the nearest guard where Angel was. They tod her she's at the beach and blinks. Anyways, she head out to find her friend, this time, she uses escorts to keep the media away. When she finally found Angel, she saw her entertain and tilts her head, finding it quite intrsting

09:57:43 Grif opened his eyes after Erin left. He faked sleeping and sat up. He waited for 5 minutes before standing up and extiing the room. He walks to the main entrance and opens it exiting the building. He made his way to the firing range and once he arrived he would start working on his sniping.

10:55:47 [Angel Dark] Angel seemed to have improved suddenly, as she found herself more agile and flexible with the pent up emotions and the troubles on her mind; she was so busy trying not to concentrate on anything that’d been happening the past several weeks: the loss of Naota during a mission, that had also resulted in Khara’s injuries, and though she’d only seen his file, and the small picture that came with it; the new transfer Wolfric looked too much like the dead captain, raising her suspicion; even Howl’s sudden disappearance nearly three months ago was still wearing on her mind at this point. All and all the world felt like it was crashing, and the last thing she’d needed were yesterday’s events, which had occurred during one of her two day stents of leaving the base, and getting far away from everything for the rest of the day after initial duties were finished; and given how few she often had, she’s been able to get a great distance from everything. As the lullaby she’d been humming ended, so did her dance, by which point she’d added foot marks in nearly every space in the design, brining her to its edge once more. How had that happened? Under normal circumstances she would have had to step carefully in order to make it from where she’d stopped somewhere in the pattern, to the where she should have stopped. “I hate humanity sometimes” she muttered looking at the pattern of footsteps within the pattern “Screw the universe and the human initiative. Anymore of this and I’m going to collapse.” She hadn’t even noticed Erin at this point; no, her mind was like Karlinn’s that day in his office; completely oblivious to absolutely everything around her, and yet able to react to everything.

11:04:29 Erin~Bereni moves closer as some of the people moved aside and waves " Angel! Angel!" SHe calls, with a smile. SHe has grown close to her when she came here for refuge " I was looking all over for you" and the spetators was surprised on why Erin would be intrested in a street entertainer.

11:15:09 [Angel Dark] Hearing her name through the dim fog that had taken over her mind Angel looked up from her oddly perfect handy work, to find that not only had she somehow attracted a crowd, but Erin happened to be the person calling her name “Sorry Erin,” she gave the girl a half smile, then turned to the gathered people for a moment “Thank you ladies and gents, I’ll be stressed to the point of perfection for the rest of the week, thank you, thank you, but I have to be returning to work.” With that she turned her attention back to Erin a bit more of a smile showing “I apologize if my absence has worried you, my friend. I’m feeling a little under it lately”

11:21:27 Erin~Bereni smiles " Oh not at all, but should you really be out here in the streets, entertaining? Do you know how many sick men are out here?" She says with a chuckle " Well I should worry since I heard your brother is still after you...have you heard about the incident at the hospital witht he intruders?" she asked, looking to her friend. It was nice she can talk military with a woman like her and not about fashion and parties all the time.

11:35:34 [Angel Dark] “Ha ha ha! You’re worried about sick men getting me?!” she laughed amused by the idea. It was true that Aquaria was most certainly no utopia filled with peace and harmony, but anyone who would have been watching her on the beach would be blind and stupid to attempt to come anywhere near her; especially while she was armed. “Thoran is not a direct threat currently my dear” she pointed out “but yes I heard of the attack and about Grif being shot…. In the leg?” she asked the last part. She regretted not being there at all, and was curious as to what kind a idiot would attack a medical facility on an Aquarian military base, it was rather strange, and stupid. “You did make sure that they could keep him in his room before coming here?” she asked; amusement creeping back into her expression, considering the incident with the warthog a few weeks back, she had a pretty good idea as to how he was reacting to being told to stay in a hospital for a while “He does like to sneak off; even when injured…”

11:41:40 Erin~Bereni nods " Oh didn't need to, he was asleep. I know, I know, but I mean he deserves to be trusted hmm? I mean I am seeing him, dating..not the other stuff. Even though I'm a bit on the young side" she then gloats alittle " However, i did take charge for once and everything worked out well, except for the fact the media wants to interview me" and notes the escorts behind them to make sure the media was nowhere near them " What about you? Any man in you life?" Ok, now she was just nosy...a good nosy.

11:52:02 Grif aims down his sights and holds his fire until the tarets lined up. Once they did he fired his sniper getting 2 headshots with one bullet. "2 birds with 1 stone..." he decides to do something fun so he takes a few steps backwards and tries to 360 no scope the targets, failing epicly. "Damn it...."

12:01:27 [Angel Dark] “Erin, this is Grif we’re talking about.” She shook her head smiling “he doesn’t like hospitals, and he’s got enough energy to overpower a battery.” She paused snickering a bit from the mental image that gave her. Looking at the escort Erin had indicated, Angel gave him a nod, and a evil look as he seemed to disapprove of the two talking so openly together. “For a while, he had to leave.” The smile she’d had, had melted from her face at the mention of having a man in her life. “Remember the incident with the warthog? When I mentioned a fugitive lover?” she paused for a heartbeat, then linked her arm with Erin’s and motioning for the escort to grab her discarded cloths, and follow behind “I’ll explain on the way to the medical facility… Howl is a story not meant for public ears.”

12:10:27 Erin~Bereni nods as she chuckles " Yes yes, I remember..eh fugitive lover? What? WHat are you talking about?" She was slightly confused and looks back to see the escort picked up the clothes, mumbling something about overtime before looking back to Angel " Yeah, what I need now is more plublicity" and chuckles, walking their way back to the medic bay. She needed to check on Grif anyways to see how he was doing.

12:26:08 [Angel Dark] Nodding, Angel grinned “you’ll love this story.” Then looked back at the escort again with an annoyed look “Oh, please do shut it, one more princess won’t do too much damage to your time schedule”. Chuckling at Erin’s comment about publicity, Angel shook her head a bit so that the stones in her hair clicked together softly a couple of times “Alrighty, well… my first encounter with the fugitive in question” she began, explaining about how she’d met Howl because he was having a disagreement with a mechanic, their second meeting being while she’d danced for the mechanics; who’d enjoyed her performances, ending with going out to breakfast with the man; during which they’d learned that she was not only a princess, but closely affiliated with Karlinn, and that Howl, the devilish rogue that had captured her curiosity, was actually wanted by several governments. That meeting had ended with her offering him a place to hide; and their third meeting had ended rather steamily, and somewhat unexpectedly with her confession of love for him though they’d only known one another for a couple hours, the longest of which had been in the café. By the time they’d reached the hospital, Angel had told Erin basically the entire story; ending it with his sudden disappearance, without a word.

12:31:58 Erin~Bereni blinks at her story " Oh wow, that's...quite intresting. Grif acually took it well to the princess discovery..other then getting drunk and passing out...but you understand why I didn't tell him from the get go. I'm never the one for formality. But at least you're old enough to date, I'm not and the council of nobles would have my arse for dating underage, not to mention my mother" as they went past the firing rage on their way back and heard shorts fired as she stopped " Say Angel, how about some practice rounds? I'm sure the nurses will keep Grif entertained"

12:46:47 [Angel Dark] “Howl took the news pretty well too, actually… he accepted it easily… it was Karlinn that had him on edge” Angel laughed, then nodded in agreement. She could see why the girl wouldn’t want to tell him until it was absolutely necessary; especially with her parents being king and queen. Angel didn’t have that problem with her parents, as they would have encouraged her to marry quickly to someone who had such knowledge and live experiences, as the man she wouldn’t know would return to her or not ever, but that was Ionen’s way, and Aquaria was very different culturally from her home. “If he’s not off on a rampage already” Angel laughed, then nodded seeing no problem with shooting at a few targets, though she herself might not do so.

12:51:39 Erin~Bereni laughs " Oh He has his ways" and walks inside and orders up a pistol for the range and one for Angel " You should try a few shots as well" and hands her a gun and earmuffs as she walks into the ranges, walking along the hall, not noticing Grif when she walked past him from behind and walked into a booth " Give it a try Angel..just aim and shoot at the target"

12:53:59 Grif heard a familiar voice next to him. He turned to see Erin there with Angel and his eyes widened. "Ah shit....smoke grenade!" pulls a smoke grenade from his belt and throws it on the floor waiting for it to pop. Once it did he sprinted out of there. "Im not retreating...Im just advancing towards future victories!" he says to himself as he runs toward the apartment where his Warthog is.

13:10:26 [Angel Dark] “I’m not particularly good with pistols” Angel admitted laughing a bit at herself for the fact “it’s either long range or no range” noticing Grif when Erin didn’t, just in time to catch him pulling a smoke grenade; Angel rolled her eyes “Grif, you’re caught!” she said moving to arm bar the man as he ran by her, though missing him by a few seconds do to coughing. “Erin….? Will you be kicking his ass or should I?” she laughed thinking he was running for his bed now; or rather, hobbling there.

13:17:58 Erin~Bereni looks and saw Grif, a bit annoyed " Grif!" and huffs " Oh don't worry Angel...I'll make him wish he was still back in that hospital bed..." and turns to shoot on the range, after the smoke clears of course " He's gonna be whining for me to talk to him when I give him the silent treatment...or maybe let him live as a slave for a week?" and snickers, yeah should wouldn't do that to him, other then not talking to him for awhile.

14:23:22 [Angel Dark] “As you wish” Angel shrugged laughing softly; not wanting to give away what she’d thought of when Erin mentioned enslaving Grif “just don’t get too carried away with the whips and chains” she winked putting on her ear protection and going into her own little cubical to shoot. With somewhat of a yan, she set up her first target.

14:29:14 Erin~Bereni laughs and looks over " Hey maybe you can join in on his punishment! My room!"? she yelled over the earmuffs and winks to Angel before taking a few shots without even lookin, completely missing the target.

14:34:30 Wulfric_Hawkeye walked into the firing range with his brand new rifle on his back, excited to test it out. He walked in and noticed the people around the building all firing off weapons, most of them being soldiers. Wulf found a spot a little ways away from everyone else and popped a clip in. He then started firing in three round bursts making a small circle around the bullseye, then sending 6 shots right through the middle. As he did he came up from his firing position and grinned giving himself a mental pat on the back as he said simply thinking out loud. “God damn I’m good!”

14:55:22 [Angel Dark] “Erin!” Angel nearly but a gut at the girl’s comment about her joining “keep the bedroom antics down, you’ll make the soldiers blush” she continued to laugh for a bit until she half heard, half felt unfamiliar footfalls behind her; as she was still runny around barefoot, at which point she turned in time to catch a glimpse of Wulfric walking past with his shiny new toy; sparking her curiosity, which she soon acted upon as she poked her head around the divider “so… that’s the new A.S.O?” she asked Erin hoping she knew, sense she’d been mostly absent the past week.

14:58:50 Erin~Bereni snickers and took off her earmuffs " What? I can't help it if I'm curious Angel.." and looks over at Wulfric. Damn her uncle got to stop hiring these handsome young men, but she has the will to control herself. She leans over to take a look, forcing her eyes to look up to the back of his head, then over to Agel " I would think so if he's allowed in here" Ok, she really needs to keep her hormones in check, but it's kinda hard when most of these soldiers were like 80% males.

15:01:03 Wulfric_Hawkeye jumped a bit at the sudden voice, but then turned to Angel with an embarrassed chuckle. “Um….yea one of the perks to being rebuilt. I get to use all the new toys.” Wulf said with a small grin remembering the girl Angel from their previous encounter. Turning a bit he saw someone he had never met before and damn near fell over laughing from her comments. Getting a grip Wulf extended his hand to the girl. “Captain Nao….er…I mean Lieutenant Wulfric at your service ma’am/” Wulf said with a pleasant tone.

15:05:05 Erin~Bereni shakes his hand " Erin Bereni, private..pleasure to meet your aquantance Lieutenant" Yeah she gave her last name this time, hoping he doesn't know much about her family to even assume she was realted to the imperial family. " You're Rhys' man aren't you?" How she got that info is anyone guess.

15:10:30 Wulfric_Hawkeye nodded softly. “Yea….though I haven’t seen her in days I think she’s still sick.” He said oblivious to her last name. Pulling his hand away he popped a jawbreaker into his mouth and began to suck on it a bit. He looked over the girl a bit and grinned instantly thinking she was absolutely beautiful like most Aquarian women. “So um…..what’s up.” Wulf asked nervously finding himself without much to say. He found himself a lot less talkative after his augmentation. Wulf just figured it’d wear off eventually.

15:13:44 Erin~Bereni shrugs " Just came down to the range to get some practice in, never no when there'll be another attack like the one at the hospital...oh geez, I do hope Rhys is alright, ifyou want, I'll see if I can see what's going on with her" She offered, not even remebering Angel was behind her. " So, what else is on your agenda after alittle practice here?" Ok, so she sucked at small talk as well.

15:17:22 Wulfric_Hawkeye smiled a bit. “No its fine I’m sure she’s ok, but yea I don’t know…nothing really just figured I’d end up in my apartment again working out like always.” Wulf said biting down on his sugary candy. “I haven’t had much to do recently and quite frankly it bores me. I need some mental stimulation of the highest caliber.” Thinking over his last sentence Wulf hoped he hadn’t come off as a nerdy type of guy.
15:17:34 [Angel Dark] ”Hahaha, careful curiosity kills the cat, and trust me, it isn’t always physically either.” She laughed shaking her head “to be so young again!” there was a bit of exasperation in her tone, she really wasn’t too far ahead of Erin, but her enthusiasm made her feel old despite her lacking experience. “you know I’m technically not supposed to know it’s you Wulf” Angel laughed when he talked about getting to play with all the fun new toys, though basically he was a fun new toy all his own. “So, still not used to being dead?” she snickered as he tried to introduce himself as Captain Naota “don’t worry, you’ll get there” she smiled. As far as the man went he was still just as cute now as he’d been when he was all flesh and blood male “so, seeing you today mean I get my morning running buddy back? Or you still deciding how to go about talking to Rhys?”

15:21:33 Erin~Bereni nods " I don't blame you, oh you work out? I could use some of that myself...but my folks are afraid I might hurt myself...maybe I can come over and workout with you sometime?" she asked, hoping she wasn't intruding in inviting herself over. It was good to make new friends, though she has a very cruel joke to play on Grif, but it wouldn't be fair to Wulf, or Rhys for that matter.

Went to bed at 3 pm, and my computer restarted itself... so... yeah... lots of rp missing, sorry

18:48:35 Andreana From the outsides of the apartment building of where Kharakia lived, a vehicle with no registering markings stopped outside. As of which it would only be a few moments before a woman stepped out and began walking inside. The woman in question had deep pink hair, and a black tight battlesuit on. Entering the elivator, she would head to the 27th floor and leave once the level was reached. Going down the hallway, the 4 door on the left would be the location she was going to. Remembering what Khara said to her before things went bad, Andreana would punch in the code to Khara's door and within seconds it opened. Stepping into the blackness, Andreana would stop and sit on the couch waiting for Tolaei and Khara to get home. Question were going to be asked, as however, Andreana came fully prepared with a disc of the operation and procedures to prove that Andreana was Cassandra and that she would know from Karlinn's words that she had returned. A message from the lead scientist had been scent to Karlinn<c>

18:50:28 [Andreana] Karlinn to let him know Andreana had been returned for full active duty. Sitting silently and waiting, Andreana would remember everything about this place, a small smile creeped along her facial line, as her silver eyes flashed lightly in the darkness, she sat there thinking, she missed Khara and Dalna very much, she couldn't wait to see them both again.(e)

19:11:19 Kharakia The office at the Administation building had been empty the entire day, as she had been away tending to other business. The disc had kept her up for most of the night, only falling into a hung over stupor and falling asleep with nothing to awaken her till the morning. With the help of DeTox pills, Kharakia had been able to sober up that morning. Cassandra's funerial had been a closed casket affair, and a small crowd to have shown up to the event. It had been the one of the few times she wore dress blues, and it wouldn't have been something she would ever wish to wear again. She knew that Cassandra would be back, and that there was no body within the coffin, but it didn't help much as she watched a solider play taps. Though it wasn't the first time she had mournful instrument be played, but it was the first for her to be played for a loved one. She hated it. The event was several long hours ago, and only now did Kharakia and Tolaei make their way home, Kharakia still in her dress blues. Kharakia had it out<C


19:39:45 Kharakia The office at the Administation building had been empty the entire day, as she had been away tending to other business. The disc had kept her up for most of the night, only falling into a hung over stupor and falling asleep with nothing to awaken her till the morning. With the help of DeTox pills, Kharakia had been able to sober up that morning. Cassandra's funerial had been a closed casket affair, and a small crowd to have shown up to the event. It had been the one of the few times she wore dress blues, and it wouldn't have been something she would ever wish to wear again. She knew that Cassandra would be back, and that there was no body within the coffin, but it didn't help much as she watched a solider play taps. Though it wasn't the first time she had mournful instrument be played, but it was the first for her to be played for a loved one. She hated it. The event was several long hours ago, and only now did Kharakia and Tolaei make their way home, Kharakia still in her dress blues. Kharakia had it out Kharakia of her system now, pushing the thought far from her mind as they entered the elevator, and moved up to their apartment. There was still a slight limp to her walk, though the left arm had been replaced by a purely synthetic one, requiring some modifications to her neural implants to still allow the same computing power she used for the various small systems she had before in her augmented one. Entering in the code to the door was quietly done, and Kharakia would hold the door for Tolaei as she started to remove her cap. " Ilhar, vel'uss zhah nindel?" Tolaei would ask, seeing the dark pink haired woman sitting in the living room, roughly twenty feet away. Kharakia looked up, seeing the woman and quickly rushing towards one of the near by drawers that rested a few feet away from the door, ripping it out and retrieving a small, compact handgun. She quickly brought it up with her left, and grabbed Tolaei to force her behind herself. " Indentify yourself, Or you will be shot!" Kharakia shouted, in a tone that Kharakia was angry and tired at the same time.~

19:51:57 Andreana Sat there looking at Khara and Tolaei, she still smiled at them even though the gun was pointed at her. "Kharakia...I know you don't reckogonise me like this, but I don't remember who I used to be, but this disc will say enough. I know its all I have but please don't shoot me, I would never shoot the person I loved..." She said turning her head and placed the disc on the table and backed away sitting back down proving she was not hostile. "Please just don't shoot I would hate for our relationship to end this way my beloved." She said. Andreana was scared at the moment she didn't know what to do in this situation all she could do was hope and pray.

20:02:17 [Attilus] Vast and open the galaxy is, quiet in it's dark serenity, keeping hidden the dangers that lurk about the pit of emptiness. This image is shattered as space, even reality itself, is rent open with such force that the stars themselves seem to scream in pain. Or, this scream could come from what lies inside this vast wound. Unreality, the Immaterium, the Warp..It goes by thousands of names, from thousands of races, but all know it as Chaos, and from this realm spew the thoughts and emotions of a million different species, bleeding out into real space in a slow trail the precedes the vast bodies that exit this rift. Dark shapes that coalesce into brilliant light, and soon spear through this light in the form of the righteous battle cruisers of the Imperial Navy. Crenelations dot the monstrous forms of each vessel, castles built atop castles in an ancient, gothic style that Mankind has adopted and used for thousands upon thousands of years. Symbols and statues dot the beastly forms of ships primed for war, taking-

20:04:50 Kharakia " Tolaei, stay here. " Kharakia said, feeling Tolaei move back into the hallway a bit as Kharakia entered the home further, bringing her reaction hand to her weapon one. She had gone though too much in the recent days to give much reason. The Coffin, the scene at the hospital, all had put Kharakia on a hardened edge as she moved towards the weapon, keeping the weapon trained on this woman as she slowly took the disc, thinking that perhaps the disk might have been a simple, yet effective explosive device, or some other item with a contact poison. It was clear that she had gotten just a bit paranoid. With the disk in hand, she moved back, moving back into the kitchen a bit to retreaive a small data reader in which she inserted the disk and connected a long wire to the back of her neural interface. The reader spun the disk, displaying what the disk contained….~

20:07:20 [Attilus] the form of the heroes of the Imperium in all their glory, with the Emperor of Mankind foremost amongst them, his Golden Armor brilliant and shining with a power that reflects even in the cold, hard metal from which they are built. Shining gold Aquilas cover surfaces the size of cities, while scrolls of battle and Oaths of Moment trail and flutter along as the vessels part from Warp Space and move in to kill an enemy that they do not find. Bristling weaponry is primed and charged as the hundreds upon hundreds of crewmen bustle and shuffle to battle stations, bridge crew shouting orders and issuing reports to the armored, massive figure that commands the bridge with an unquestioned authority. Resplendent in gleaming, royal purple armor trimmed in the gold seen so often elsewhere, intricate details etched into every surface, devotion to the Emperor, his Father, writ upon the shell of his being. Scrolls and parchment denoting untold amounts of battle grace this artificer armor, naming the Primarch one without -

20:11:31 [Attilus] equal as he stands before the shimmering, mithril throne from which he commands the deaths of trillions. A vast, pure silver hammer rests easily in one massive fist, its head large enough to crush his enemies in one feel sweep, shaped to resemble the crushing force of the Emperor's Fist, crackling with energy begging to be released against his foes. Behind the man, his honor guard stands impassively, armor painstakingly built to reflect his own, though painted in shining gold. Each wears a jump pack in the form of vast, metallic wings, and each dons one of seven legendary blades, protected further by the power fields of the Storm Shield. Each watches without emotion as their leader gauges what has just happened. A mistake, a will of the Emperor, or a curse of the beings that nest in the Warp..Whatever it may be, the vast fleet of the Imperium of Man is no longer in the reality they knew and the Primarch of the Knights of the Imperium must be ready to wage war in a galaxy unknown.

20:16:53 Andreana Sat and waited to see what Khara was going to do, she was unsure of this circumstances, and well she concerned as she stood up and walked over and placed her forehead against the weapon. "If you don't believe what I say Kharakia, then you may shoot me." Andreana said waiting to see what was going to happen.

20:27:22 Kharakia Kharakia quietly reviewed the stream of data, video footage, and other information nodes that displayed within her vision, but no one elses. Even before Andreana would have put skin against the barrel of the handgun, it was rested on the counter top and the cable disconnected abruptly, leaving behind faint images of a augmentation that the woman before her undertook. " Karlinn told me of the project, I just…" Kharakia sighed and turned slightly. " Tolaei, it's safe, she's a friend. " Kharakia called to which Tolaei entered cautiously, looking at the pair with wide eyes. " Go to bed, its late. I'm going to go out for a bit after I change alright?" Kharakia said, not changing to common when she spoke to her daughter this time. She looked over at Andraena. " Let me change out of my dress blues, and we'll go outside for a bit.." Kharakia said quietly, this far not showing much emotion besides a tired look on her face as she began walking back to her room. leaving the pistol, disk reader, and Adnreana behind in<

20:34:37 Andreana Looked at Khara as she walked away, Andreana would raise her hand wanting say something but couldn't get it out. Tears ran her cheek before sittting on the couch crying. "She doesn't know who I am anymore..." Andreana would get up and opened the door running down the hall before sliding the wall into a ball and huddled herself into the corner crying. "I came back to her and now she doesn't know me curse whatever I am now!" She yelled as she sat there not knowing what to do or say anymore.

20:45:53 Kharakia Kharakia had started to remove her dress blues, pausing as she heard Andreana yell from the kitchen. Her eyes were already red as she hurried a bit more, slipping on her normal clothes and shoes before opening the door again. Once more, she was dressed in the one piece, sterized Glith Amon uniform that had become her normal set of clothes, as well as a assorted sets of clothing in her closet. However the one she wore now was the most comfortable, and the most familiar. She didn't hear anything from inside of the apartment, but the very soft sound of crying could have been heard. Quietly, she grabbed her utility belt that rested on the stand next to the door, not bothering to pick up the items that had been strewn on the ground from the drawer, and slipped it on as well as her leather jacket. A quiet series of beeps followed her closing the door, and she paused outside in the hallway of her apartment complex. Down the hall, she saw Cassandra…whom had changed, and still did not. Slipping her hands into her leather jacket. A quiet series of beeps followed her closing the door, and she paused outside in the hallway of her apartment complex. Down the hall, she saw Cassandra…whom had changed, and still did not. Slipping her hands into her jacket pockets, she walked with her head down towards Andreana. There, quietly Kharakia knelt next to her, moving from one knee to both as she rested a hand on her shoulder. Before Andreana could think about moving, Kharakia was embracing her tightly, heaving from the sobs that couldn't be held as she rested her own head on Andreanas…~

20:53:53 [Attilus] Reports filtered in swiftly as the trained, practiced crew put sensorium equipment to work. Vox signals were sent out and (of course) not returned, while the Astropaths were put to work searching for the light of the Emperor, which was not found, either. Distressing news though this was, the Primarch merely nods as if he'd known that to be the case all along, and where a normal man might falter in knowing that the Emperor's grace is no where near, Venris simply sets his Thunder Hammer across his throne and steps forward. "The Emperor's light has not left us, and His will is made manifest through us. Mankind was scattered across the stars, and we are certain to find their like here." His surety and confidence rumbles in the deep baritone that is his voice and the crew men are invigorated and consoled by it, hurrying back to their work. Soon enough, the Captain has his reports to give. "Commander, the reports have been collected and analyzed. No Imperial civilizations have been found in the immediate sector, but space-faring vessels have been picked up by our sensors. None have responded to vox hailing, but the Tech Priests say they use a strange form of communication. Deciphering is a slow process, but we should have what is needed soon."Venris gives another nod before turning to his Honor Guard. "Constantine, make ready the Chapter. We know not what threats await us, but I would be prepared for the inevitability of war." Pray that his Father truly does watch over them, even here, so far from even the edges of the Crusade.

20:59:40 Andreana Didn't move as she felt the hug and heard Khara begin to cry. Andreana, would wrap her arms around Khara and moved placing her head now on top of hers embrassing her tightly. "I am sorry I don't remember the real me but I have all that i need in memories of, maybe changed to fit the name I have now but Khara I love you!" She said hugging her closer and pressing agsinst her. "Please Khara I beg you please dont leave me here to cry my heart away. I know what you mean to me and you are who i truely love, please I beg you, I don't want to loose you." She said before breaking away and staring Khara in the eyes holding close up to her. "Please I beg of you accept me please, I know its hard but please I will do anything to prove it. Please dont leave me..." Andreana said begging with all that she had to Khara. Andreana was spewing her heart out for Khara and could do nothing else except that.

21:15:59 Kharakia Kharakia nodded. There wasn't a need to explain herself as Andreana separated her from her shoulder. " Just remember….if you get killed again….I'll kill you myself. " Kharakia said, breaking a smile on her face as she brought her emotions under control. "I don't plan to leave you, ever. " Kharakia said finally, before slowly standing and bringing Andreana to her own full height as well. Even after Andreana's revival, Kharakia was still taller than her by a few inches, which brought a small smirk to her face as She rubbed her face free of the tears. " I haven't eaten today…But I've gotten my appetite back. Would you like to go out for a meal? " Kharakia asked, having returned to her normal self, though her tone was lighter. Meanwhile, The Aquarian Military's newest outpost in the Terminus System had been picking up equally strange communications, where even their own decryption computers and analysis couldn't break the codes and thus had been sending back entire records of the event to the Aquarian Homeworld. Who it was or what was creating it didn't match any of their known profiles for Merc ships, pirating craft, or any war vessel the Aquarians have ever encountered…~

21:27:26 [Attilus] With the fleet's systems working overtime to give Attilus a picture of the sector, video feeds from various points of the battle cruiser The Faith of the Emperor, showing the outpost that the Captain had been attempting to hail. Attempts were still unsuccessful, the coding of the foreign communication nearly impossible to decipher, though the Tech Priests had at least made mention that it seemed familiar to them, though archaic in nature. With the information coming in slowly, far too slowly, Venris comes to a decision. "Captain, you will assume command of the fleet. I will be taking my Honor Guard to this outpost. If our ship to ship communications are not working, perhaps face to face may be a more viable option. Do your best to appear...non-threatening, but have the ship's ready to destroy any enemies of the Emperor that present themselves." With that, he turns away from the bridge, hefting the massive hammer over a shoulder, makes for the docking bay that houses his personnel transport vessel. As -

21:31:09 [Attilus] he moves he vox's Constantine. "Constantine, make ready the Honor Guard. We board the transport in thirty seconds and make for the outpost. We go in peace, but arm yourselves." Those thirty seconds likely fly by, and Attilus is sure to be greeted by his men at the boarding ramp. They nod their respect at his approach before following him in to the transporter. "Captain, we are departing now. Keep me updating on what the sensor sweeps may find." The thump of a massively armored fist on a bleak metal wall tells the pilot they are ready for take off, and so take off they do. Engines roar to life and the shuttle shakes and rattles as if it might come apart at any time, propelling itself rapidly from the docking bay and out into space, making a quick approach to the lone outpost that will hopefully answer many of the Primarch's questions.

21:32:38 Andreana Sniffled and whiped the tears from her face and nodded to Khara's words. "If it ever happens again you can kill me first then." She smiled and would wrap her arm around Khara's. "Sure I haven't eaten anything either. Food sounds nice. Where do you want to go?" Andreana asked her as she would hold the elevator waiting for Khara to enter. Once she did she would go to ground level and waited there. She would come up and hug Khara again smiling. " I am so happy I am back with you." She sighed in relief and hugged her more tightly.

21:50:50 Kharakia Kharakia would have simply nodded, the smile remaining as they pair would step inside and ride it down to the lower levelers, and under it as it slowed to reach the parking garage. The fear that had been with Kharakia long before of the pair enjoying one another's company had long vanished, and would have been standing side by side with during the ride. " Same. " The pair would likely head off to a near by collection of bars, restaurants and shopping outlets that tended to the bussling night crowd. Within the Terminus System, the outpost had gone from casual obersver at a good distance, to going to full alert with all hands manning weapon stations and preparing for the worst. Communcations being sent back to Aquaria cited a unknown fleet of a massive size, as well as of unknown classification and origin. After requesting a reinforcement fleet to command, the systems that had been stationed within the outpost started their systematic purge, removing critical data, maps, locations and anything that would have jeopardized their operations here. For the shuttle, there wouldn't have been much to see of the action within, Only a few of the large Battlemechs that had been patrolling the perimeter of the facility, had turned, returning to their defensive positions within the walls of the base.~

21:52:43 John_Grimes was lounging, almost languidly in the centered chair of his crecent shaped desk. The holo-screens to either side flickered and scrolled as they relayed data of mop-up of the Genlai outpost below. While rich in resorces the planet had been ill-defended, and it's miner's surrendered once their minor defense fleet and security units had been decimated. The riches of 6 massive gas giants were streaming into the brightly lit Orbs of his combined fleets while the capitol and escort vessels had assumed system defense positions should any Genlai or other vessels appear. He had been in sub-space communication with certain factions of the Aquarians for some time now, and awaited fruition of his bartering with a certain, well, almost criminal element their. In addition he had Nastia and Hiirli back safe and whole from his recent endeavors, and had led from the second rank, in not the tip of the blade, when they cut this planet from the Genlai herd. He was comtemplating their next target, as well as -

22:00:57 [Attilus] "Commander, we believe they are powering up defensive weaponry, which will likely mean there will be armed forces to greet you. May the Emperor Protect." Venris would not reply, and the Captain knew that. He had other matters to attend to, such as the docking with the outpost..Given they weren't shot out of the sky first. A feat, that, given the thick ceramite plating of the shuttle the Marines were held within. Vox system is set to the squad signal, protected from prying ears should the unknown faction have a means to do so. "Be weary, but do not fire until I give the order. We must know where the Warp has taken." Silent, impassive as ever, the Veterans of the Knights simply nod their acquiescence, followed by the distinct humming of activated power fields as equipment is tested and the muttered litanies as the machine-spirits are soothed into cooperation. Should the outpost defenses not fire, and should they have open bays, the shuttle's pilot will announce their landing just before gear crashes -

22:04:12 [Attilus] down and engines whine and stutter before falling dead. The sharp hiss of releasing hydraulics announce the boarding ramps decent..Not that it was needed, as every Astartes was already on his feet, shield in front of chest and relic blades held point down to denote a semi-peaceful approach. Venris takes his place at the front of the Honor Guard, so that the first sight any in the bay have of one of the Emperor's people is of it's finest. A Primarch wearing full artificer armor, pristine in its shine. As the ramp touches down, he exits from the vessel, hammer held at rest on one shoulder as his massive form thuds its way out into the open. But, should they be fired upon, the shuttle will simply crash into the docking bay, ejecting the Adeptus Astartes straight into battle.

22:19:29 Kharakia Communicaton shatter among the three BattleMehcs, roughly the same sizes as the larger variants of the Warhound Socut titan the marines would have likely be familiar with, was cluttered with chatter back and forth "ArchAngel 31 to Control, I have Eyes on. Best engage running lights on Runway Zero-One. " Within moments, the bases's small linear runway would have been cleared of any landing craft that had returned from their patrols shortly before being recalled, it would have given the shuttlecraft of the marines room to land, and for the mechs, room to move and shoot in. As the Marine dropships settled onto the open areas of tarmac, a hundred meters away from the Outpost complex, The three mechs started their march, taking up longer range positions around the Landed ships as several convoys of smaller troop transport and four passenger vehicles drove out, stopping fourty five meters away from the landed vessels, and quietly watched as the Marines, clad in their armor, filed out. It would have been then that some of the Guard troops garrisoned on base, would have had their jaws drop at the massive size of these men. ~

22:36:00 Attilus takes in the situation in the docking bay with a quick glance, assessing strengths and weaknesses as best he could with what little information he had, and determining that if it came to a firefight, they would all be dead. Evidently, so had Constantine. "Sir, I believe we are out-gunned." Though there was a distinct lack of fear and an air of fact about his words. "Should it come to guns, we will die with the Emperor's name on our lips and our fingers on the trigger." Metaphorically, of course, seeing as none carried weapons. Certainly those force shields could withstand a few blasts from whatever weaponry those mechs carried. Perhaps even to destroy one or two. It would be enough, and give the fleet enough time to bombard the outpost. Luckily, no one has fired yet. The personnel transports draw his attention as they dismount and Venris leads his Honor Guard in the direction of the dismounted soldiers. They cover just enough distance to show they were not intimidated in the least by this show of force, but hopefully not enough to incite violence. A voice filtered through the caster of his vox squaks out with a synthesized tint to it, though still holding much of the power in it's tone and doing little to damage its volume. Booming, commanding, the voice of a Demi-God brought to life. "We come in the name of the Emperor of Mankind, beloved by all, to bring you into his fold. Who amongst you can assume command and meet with me under the banner of peace?" Or who amongst you will reveal that you are scum, and the Enemy of Mankind?
