Commander Stark paced nervously. He didn't know what it was, but the way Colonel Great continually looked at him made him uneasy. "What is it, Ed?" "Oh, nothing," Great turned to look at him properly. "You just seem kind of nervous, that's all." Tom grunted. Two seconds later, the doors zunged open, and Kitagawa strode in. He felt the knot in his stomach tighten as soon as he saw Stark standing there. "Good stuff Takeshi. Now, I want you to go on a reconnaissance trip to the nearest planet - hey Ed, what are we currently orbiting?" "We're not." Great said flatly. "Right, so what planet are we nearest to? You're better at navigating than me." "Right, just hold on a sec..." Great tapped his keyboard five times and the readout blipped up on the main screen. "Nebutra. Home of the Nebutrans, pretty peaceful race according to all previous recons and reports." "Oh yeah, those guys. Anyway Kitagawa, take your Reapers with you down to Nebutra, see what you can find. Any questions, you know where I am." Not always, knowing you... Kitagawa mused. Aloud he simply said, "Yes Sir." "Good. Now get gone." Kitagawa got. Great, who had watched this exchange with growing bemusement, eventually spoke up. "Why are you sending the Reapers down to Nebutra? It's not like we haven't been there before." "Got a report that there might be something down there of interest. Thought it'd be best we check it out, with Hughes off filling his log and all." "So why didn't you tell me about this and have me give the order?" "It wasn't that important, really. Just a few new materials apparently detected." "And the Nebutrans?" "Like you said, they're peaceful. Shouldn't have any problems." Great nodded, and returned to his console.
Kitagawa marshalled the Reapers and outlined the mission. As one, the Reapers split into groups and filed into their assigned ships. A few sharp words to the gatekeeper, and 5 vessels flew out into the great darkness, headed towards Nebutra.

John Doe watched from a porthole as the Reapers flew out into the Great Darkness towards Nebutra before heading towards the bridge.
I noticed that we have deployed Reapers to the planet Nebutra, Doe observed to Great and Stark telepathically as he entered the automatic doors, What purpose is this action serving? "We have reported unusual activity from the planet's surface," Stark explained, "Apparently the Nebutrans are displaying an extremely high level of aggression towards all lifeforms, including others of their own species." "They're what?" Great enquired, "I thought you said that they're peaceful." "Up until now the aggression has been confined to the surface," replied Stark, "However, they seem to be extending this to their planet's inner orbit. We are concerned that they may turn their attention towards us. Hence our deploying of the Reapers" This is of no concern, Doe replied in his monotonal telepathy, Certainly not one that requires the deployment of ships. This display by the Nebutrans is simply part of their mating ritual. It should be of no concern to us. "Why haven't we been informed of this behaviour if it's a common occurance?" Great asked, slightly annoyed at finding out the true explaination for the aggressive actions of the Nebutrans. It was not asked of me. Doe said simply, scratching his ears with his mid-leg. "What about the raw materials you mentioned Stark?" That would most likely be the elemental wastes that are left by the deceased Nebutrans Doe explained, Upon death their bodies decompose to release large amounts of raw atomic elements. Now I must bid you farewell; I am requiring chemical sustinence myself
Great kicked the leg of his chair as the alien left the bridge. "Why the hell couldn't that six-legged freak have mentioned that earlier?" he asked angrily, "We could have saved the fuel needed for those ships for something useful!" Stark shrugged his shoulders, his eyes still on the door through which Doe had left. He couldn't be bothered informing Great that they would be gaining raw atomic materials; he was more concerned about the feeling he had that John Doe knew much more about a lot of topics than he let on...

Takeshi sighed inside the INFERNO, his personal ship. He wanted to bring all 20 Reaper Ships but the Commodore made the decision for the Reapers to use standard skippers.
"Jester, you read me?" Pvt. Jester was the Reaper second in Command, a good friend of Takeshi. "What is it Reaper?" "What do you reckon, another small recon mission?" "Fubar Sir" "Aye private, keep an eye on your wing. We go in pairs, I'll take the middle. Reports say these damned Nebulains are becoming...aggressive..." "Aggresive sir?" "Thats right. So I packed you and the boys little treats in your compartments, take them once we reach the capital." "Right away Sir"
Jester signed off the holoscreen as Takeshi looked at his Reapers. Organized and Uniform. Pvt. Torch, another Reaper, signed onto the holonet.
"Private Channel sir?" "Private Channel, go ahead"
The Private Channel was a secret Reaper network installed in the SSS Holonet.
"Sir, I got word with our boys on Earth, the Reaper 2000 Project is well underway and nearing completion within the next 5 months." "Good, I want to no fowl ups. Got me private?" "Got you, sir"
The Reapers were just about to hit Planet Side when... "Lt. Kitagawa report in!" Takeshi knew that voice, Stark...

Jones watched the glow of the main engines as the bad news came in. A junior officer came up offering a PDA and stated “The reapers have launched, sir.” Ricky took the PDA and nodded before saying “Thank you. Please return to your other duties”
The Commander readout loud the PDA adding his opinion “Noted aggression from Nebutrans - could be Xenophobia… Recon mission by the Reapers – whom probably couldn’t even pronounce Nebutran, no less identify with one… Standard skipper launch immediately – Should’ve launched a probe, it would be less likely to get trigger happy.”
"Computer, transfer skipper status to the tertiary diagnostic console " Ricky ordered as he made his way towards the small, cramped alcove the console was hidden in. “Status telemetry transferred.” came his response. Jones put on a pair of reading glasses, leaned over on the console and thought to himself ‘All skippers have optimum performance – Bad news for the Nebutrans, then. Nothing irregular to report.’ Until something took his eye
‘Interesting,’ Jones found himself saying ‘Non-standard telemetry protocol. Very much doubt anyone up there would notice it, but I have.” He pushed buttons to store a duplicate of the data stream and thought again ‘Probably a malfunctioning modem, but it’ll be ages until I can do a diagnostic.’ The Commander stood up and restored the console to it’s former display.
Ricky walked back into the baske of the main engines before addressing the junior officer. He stated “Could you inform the landing bay officers to expect their skippers back in pretty shoddy condition, for me?”

Wittmann awoke after being licked awake by his Mecha-Corgi "Rosie" which was preset to wake him for his next shift. he dressed quickly and reported to the bridge taking the elevator "Come Rosie!"
As the lift was taking a long he leafed through a catalog of Miniature figurines "Mmmm they added a figure of me, ""Michael Wittmann second person to win both the Iron Cross and Victoria Cross!!!"" "15 pounds i don't get paid enough!" Rosie yipped in agreement
arriving in the bridge He saluted the Commodore and the Colonel
"Orders Sah!"
"Wittmann, the usual, Proceed to the Security office and man that for... I thought i told you not to bring that Mecha-Corgi with you!" Barked Hughes
"I had 'Ricky' outfit her with additional devices that help me in my duty"
"I suppose" sighed Hughes
Snapping his fingers 'Rosie' jumped away from Colonel Great who had been patting her, marching towards the lift Stark ran after Wittmann and held the door of the lift, "we're going to the same place!" he said rather a bit more loudly than was needed Wittmann noted Stark was looking around continually in a pattern sighing Wittmann said "If you are looking for Security Devices there are none"
Stark: "well.. did you think about it?" Wittmann:........ Stark:... Wittmann:....... Stark: "Well!" Wittmann: "when the time is right i will tell you"
Wittmann left the lift with Rosie leaving Stark scowling behind him
Wittmann had always felt a clear sense of Right and Wrong, upon leaving school the very first thing he had done was to march into the local police station and demand a job.
When war had come he flung his police hat on to the Sergent's desk and before the hat had stopped spinning he had booted his way to the Army recruiting desk and demanded they take him.
On the Sudriana things were no different, Wittmann still kept order, just associating with Stark had started to cloud his sense of Right and wrong.....

OCC: Might as well move on as Takeshi then
===== Stark's voice fizzled out. Radio interfernce in this part of space? Jester: I don't like this "Me neither, keep going for the Planet, we'll see what this is all about soon enough I reckon."

OOC: That's fine, lordviruscide, anyone can use anyone so long as it's not an abuse of the character.
Stark tapped the armrest impatiently. He wasn't surprised by Wittmann's attitude, but it still irritated him. Now he was in his barracks, waiting for Kitagawa to either land on Nebutra or get back to him with a report. "Kitagawa! Do you read?" he barked into the communit. "I read..." Kitagawa's voice flickered between staticy and indecipherable. "Is there a chance you could get to a better place for communications?" "Well I........trouble........commun...ing befo..............something.........."Stark didn't bother going any further with the conversation. Flicking the communit off in disgust, he rolled over and turned the televisual entertainment device on. The TED, as it was shortened to, used telepathy to show whatever the viewer wanted. Obviously this caused a bit of drama when there were multiple people wanting to watch the same thing, but the TED technology was such that every crew member had their own in their barracks. Stark watched about three minutes of some old war film before getting bored. Speaking of telepathy... he realised, and opened his communit urgently. "John! John! Where are you?" I am currently in my barracks, Commander Stark. Why do you ask?"I want some more information on the Nebutrans. Meet me in the recreation centre in 10 minutes." Yes, Commander, Doe replied simply, I shall see you momentarily.Stark hung up and walked out. It was a simple diversionary tactic to keep Doe isolated from the rest of the crew whilst the Reapers were currently suffering radio interference. Even in Nebutran mating season, the planet’s inhabitants stayed below the surface. Why they had suddenly sprung up now, Stark didn’t know. But dammit he was going to find out.

OCC: Gonna go around and shape something in Takeshi's story, please mention anything I do wrong. XD
=========== Takeshi and 15 Reapers landed as the other 5 orbited the Planet attempting to get better communication. The Reapers moved out, the cities of the Nebutranians were glittery and vegetation made itself known. Trees were everywhere and rivers, waterways and falls were everywhere as well. Reaper tried to make contact with Stark.
"This is Kitagawa, no sign of any Nebutanians, we are going to head to the Capital Building." Trunks closed the comm. The Reapers heard sounds throughout the abandoned streets. Hovertrucks were left unguarded, banks and treasuries had noone around, a robber's paradise. Takeshi and his Reapers finally made it to the capital building.
"Alright, Cougar! Merlin! Take left flank with Savage and Wrench and take the left entrance. Jester! Take Smile and Goat and move through the right, everyone else with me!"
Trunks threw a small ball into the air and it began to hover. A small camera shot out, to show the SSS bridge and crew what the hell was going on. Takeshi and his 9 Men walked through the entrance, guns raised. Takeshi had packed Reaper Special Weapons, or, RPS's in the tiny SSS picket ships and he knew this was the right thing to do. Another stupid move on the Loyalist part, "Reapers will not bring their own Weapons or Technology". This was disowned by all the Reapers.
Takeshi did a comm in as they proceeded down the main corridor to the Planet Ambassador's office.
"Kitagawa to SSS, no sign of life, entire captial is empty" Trunks looked at Pvt Hound, he looked up from the LS Device and shook his head "No life. These guys must have cleared out from something" The Cam Droid had followed and broadcasted the entire showing. The Reapers looked at the IRON Doors to the Ambassadors office, torn open, and blood was everywhere.
Pvt. Hound looked grimly and Pvt Chess looked on, "What the hell happened?" Takeshi said nothing. The office was bare and the blood trail lead to, well, nowhere. The 9 Reapers were about to leave when...
GUNSHOTS! Takeshi heard shots from the left corridor. He called Cougar. "Cougar! Report in! Have we engaged!?" Takeshi and the Reapers had horror in their eyes as they heard screams come from the Comm. The 9 Reapers fled with Takeshi giving the retreat order.
"ALL REAPERS! CLEAR OUT! BACK TO THE SHIPS! JESTER?! JESTER?!?!?" Jester was gone, his LS scan was gone along with the others. All that was left of the 20 Reaper squad was himself and his 14 Remaining Reapers.
"All Reapers, engage at will, no mercy! No Prisoners!!"
Takeshi raced down the main street as he burst through the building blazing his gun. Radar! Pvt. Radar was still spacebound.
"Radar! Come in! This is Reaper! RADAR!" No answer. Hound coughed up. "No...not them too!"
Takeshi and his men spotted a horrible sight. What was once a peaceful town square now had the wreckage of 5 Skippers, and 5 horribly torn up bodies.
"This is Takeshi to SSS! We are under attack by unknown hostiles! Requesting Reinforcements! Stark!? Wittmann!? GOD DAMN!"
Takeshi ran with the last 9 Reapers in tow. He saw the Skippers, 6 were torn to pieces. And there they were on the other 3 and the Inferno, Nebutranians, hostile, and armed.
Nebutranian: Lo Ki wan kof no kol mog no pyyn no ssikku!! (Kill the Humans, no survivors!)
The Reapers armed and fought. Pvt Hound was soon shot up by a armed Nebutranian as Reaper shot him. Cougar was dead. No, no more losses thought Takeshi. He called again to the SSS.
"Hostiles identified as Nebutrainians! 12 Reapers killed, we need reinforcements! Damn it Stark! Hughes! Where are the reinforcemen..."
Takeshi was cut off by a shot to the arm. The last 8 Reapers were dead, so easily killed. The best of the best...
"No...Bas*****!!!"
Takeshi killed a few hostiles as he made his way to the Inferno. He managed to set off. How did the Skippers fail...how were the Reapers killed so quickly...Nebutrainian hostiles? What was this!
Takeshi shot into space, the SSS in view. Blood treacled down from his forehead as his scar bled as well. Stark...Wittmann, anyone. What if they were only listening, and sent noone...
Takeshi spotted what killed the 5 spaceborne Reapers, Nebutrainian scout craft, small...sleek, deadly...
Takeshi finally managed to get into radio contact... "This...*cough*...is Kitagawa....open...bay...doors...to.,,,hange...84...."

Wittmann was in his office when his computer bleeped
"***Incoming Encoded Message ***"
Rosie who asleep in a basket under the desk pricked up her ears at the sound and whined
"Source Message!" said Wittmann growing alarmed
"***Sourcing***" "***Sourcing***" "***Source found : Takeshi Kitagawa SSS Crew Member "Open Encoded Message!" "***Opening message: "This...*cough*...is Kitagawa....open...bay...doors...to.,,,hange...84...."
"Gods!" Grabbing his headset he reached the bridge "Command we've got a Problem"
Colonel Great voice came through the speaker "Go ahead"
"Takeshi's Wounded! i think hes been under attack! I'm going to help him"
"Roger"
Wittmann opened the hanger door none too soon and the battered skipper flew in, shouting at Rosie to grab a medkit Wittmann rushed out to help Takeshi.
Wittmann always felt a sense of right and wrong. he felt it now more than ever

Takeshi landed as the Main Staff and a few medical personell rushed out as a bloody Takeshi fell out of his cockpit. Hughes looked around to see none of the 20 other Reapers fly in with him. Something was wrong...

"Telemetry lost" the computer bluntly stated. Ricky stared angrily at the console and raised his voice “Where are the remaining skippers?” The computer clicked and beeped before replying “The remaining skippers are not found in this star system.”
The Commander stroked his temple before adding “Computer, are there any known spatial effects that could affect radio contact, in this star system?” The computer clicked and beeped again. It replied “Atmospheric storm on southern continent of Nebutra. No other interference have been found.”
Jones leaned against the wall before adding “Computer, communications line to the Commodore.” A new button appeared on the console besides him. He pressed it without looking and stated “Commodore Hughes, this is Commander Jones. We’ve lost the data signals from the remaining skippers. Either they’ve crash-landed, or the modems forcibly switched off by circumstance unknown.” Ricky was not looking forward to the reply.

In the medi-bay, Lieutenant Kitagawa was in an induced coma. The wounds were not severe, but the Medical Officer recognised the stains on his uniform as corrosive - the body would need to shut down almost completely to fight it. Tom paced the barracks nervously. Acton tried to ask him what was wrong, but was steadfastly ignored. Suddenly Stark's communit buzzed into life. "Stark here." "Tom, get your ass into me office, now!""Gotcha Commodore. There soon." He hung up and shook his head. "Can't say I was shocked by that..." he muttered to himself, sweeping past Acton as he walked out. The recon had not gone well, obviously. The loss of 20 Reapers was not something he had considered possible when he had planned it out. And to think all he wanted was a sample of Nebutran marshreed! He'd heard it was, when harvested correctly, a very good substitute for skipper fuel. He sighed and shook his head. A few minutes later, he rapped on Commodore Hughes' door. "It's Stark." Hughes opened the door and grabbed Tom by the collar. "What the hell was that?" "What?" "That Reaper mission to Nebutra! Word is you ordered it. Why?"
OOC: If someone wants to make up what Doe told Stark after my previous post, be my guest. I'm building up a bit in this Hughes/Stark scene though.

Stark at first stuttered, trying to cover up his tracks. "I didn't... How could I... have known that was going to happen, Commadore? Do you really think I'd let those innocent Reapers die?" "They were murdered. You gave that order, Stark. Great told me all about what he heard earlier. After he was left in charge of the bridge, he found out about the attack on from the Nebutrans. Shortly after, I receive a message from Ricky Jones." Stark listened, but remained perfectly silently and still. "Were you aware of those spacial disturbances?" confronte Hughes. "Spacia..?" Stark got no further. "They interfered with the radio contact between us and the Reapers. A mistake that cost lives. Great is outside now ready to take you to the detainment brig, Stark. I hope you'll go without any fuss. You will remain there until I can get to the bottom of this," he barked. He flipped open his communit, his eyes still fixed on Stark. "Colonel Great. You can escort our good Mr Stark to the brig now!" "Yes sir," came the response. The doors glided open, and Great emerged, with cuffs and a pistol. "Sorry about this, Commander," said the Colonel. "I'm sure you'll come quietly." "Great," called Hughes. Great pinned up Stark against the wall, and leaned closer to the Commadore. "Remember, I want Doe monitored closely. As soon as he gets wind of this, we'll find out what these two are up to. Tactical Officer Lawson was observant to notice them in the recreation centre acting suspiciously." "I'll take Stark to the brig now," murmured Great. Great put his hand on Stark's shoulder. "You should know the way the Commander." And they walked out. They paced down the corridors. Members tried to sheepishly look after they had passed by to see what was going off. As they approached the dreary brig zone, where members tried to normally avoid, Stark suddenly swung round, knocking out Great's gun. Another punch to the nose made Great stagger backwards while Stark raced down the corridor and was gone. "Oh, blimey!" recovered Great. "I knew this was a job for Wittman!" He heaved himself up, and opened a small panel covered with a flap made of glass. Inside were several buttons with rubber on top, with various words written on them, such as white 'INTRUDER', red 'HULL BREACH' and a blue 'MEDICAL EMERGENCY' buttons as well as others, but Great hit a yellow 'SECURITY' button. "Man, can he throw a punch," Great groaned.

Wittmann was Enjoying his Breakfast When the alarm when. "Wittmann! Stark's Gone loose!" Shouted Hughes in Wittmann's ear piece
"Roger give me a Min" "We want him alive!" "Roger Sah!"
Wittmann started to act fast shouting into his mic he broadcasted across the station "Stark give yourself up now!"
Wittmann: "Computer unlock weapons, Wittmann, Code: How Much is that doggie in the window! (last time I do a code while drunk muttered Wittmann)"
Computer: "***Weapons free and unlocked***"
Wittmann: "active the Drones!"
The 'drones' were something Wittmann and Tech Commander Richard had cooked up one weekend with several bottles of wine, built on the chassis of small copters and armed with a 9mm weapon, the drones were able to hunt and track a target without help from humans
Wittmann: "Rosie Attack mode!"
At those words Rosie's ears flattened and her teeth lengthened into razor points, and armour appeared out over her sensitive areas
Together Wittmann and Rosie left the office with Wittmann's weapons strapped to his back, the sound of the Drone's buzzing increasing
"Damn it Stark! Don't run, please!
Wittmann had a bad feeling about this, as he ran towards the place where Stark had been seen last......

At this time, the Medical Bay was emptied with the sounds of alarms, Stark, one who had a place here was now a fugitive?
Takeshi thought this placing his baggish armor back on once again. Takeshi snapped his sword in place and he suddenlly realzied...
"Merlin..."
" Jester..."
"Cougar..."
"Radar...god he was only 16..."
"DAMN IT!"
Takeshi slammed the table. Why, why did Earths 20 best warriors fail, we had the skills, equipment...wait...
The equipment! Standard SSS Bull****... "If we had are ships...are weapons...we would have made it! God damn it!" Takeshi heard the warning "ALL OFFICERS! CODE 113, CAPTURE STARK! Repeat..."
Takeshi went to his quarters. The reinforcements he asked for, he was in radio contact, they didn't listen. "Were we supposed to be pawns?!"
Takeshi grabbed his AR-66 Assault Chainsaw BB Rifle, a bayonett...a chainsaw bayonette. Standard weapony for Reapers. He grabbed his two swords and held out his custom handgun, JENNY, the name of his missing girlfriend.
The alarms were off and support staff ran down the halls looking for Stark. Takeshi walked down one blaring hallway, no one was there except for someone working on the closed security doors. He obviouslly had it wrong as the security doors behind Takeshi closed instead. Takeshi looked at the other trapped man...
STARK!
Takeshi pointed his custom gun straight at Stark's forehead. "You b*****d...no reinforcements...standard weaponry?! I've had it with this loyalist trash...damn you Stark...you killed my brothers, my 20 close brothers...now..you will suffer..."
Stark smirked at the furious Takeshi. He looked at the scar on his eye, and the tear going down the other.
"Kitagawa...Reaper...I have a proposition for you. A proposition, I greatl accepeted myself..."

Michael "Viruscide" Wittmann had never slept well, he had always had three nightmares.
The first one was: That he could not keep Order.
Second: That it was he who broke the Order.
And the third?: that he had to abandon everything to keep Order.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The first nightmare was starting in his waking moments as he thundered the halls in the chase of Stark
eventually he drew near the place where Stark was spotted he ducked under a closing security door (Rosie was not able to get under the door in time) and was in time to overhear a very interesting conversation
"You b*****d...no reinforcements...standard weaponry?! I've had it with this loyalist trash...d**n you Stark...you killed my brothers, my 20 close brothers...now..you will suffer..."
"Kitagawa...Reaper...I have a proposition for you. A proposition, I greatl accepeted myself..."
"What the Bloody hells going on here!" shouted Wittmann drawing his rifle in a swift motion
Stark, while Takeshi was distracted Stood up and drew his own pistol
The three men stood and circled each other, switching their targets often.
"Weapons down gents!...." growled Wittmann
"you first!" snapped Takeshi
"Now Now i have a proposition for both of you" cooed Stark
"I told you later, Very later" growled Wittmann
"What the Hell!?" Cried Takeshi as they continued to circle each other like dogs, not dogs, wolves.........
_____________________________________________________ OOC: i thought a Mexican Stand-off between Stark, Wittmann, & Takeshi would be awesome, and it was!

Stark smirked as Takeshi and Wittmann had guns drawn.
Stark: Well Gents, you both know of the famed rebels?
Takeshi and Wittmann looked at one another and glared at Stark.
Takeshi: Of course, your one of them arn't you? Wittmann: Damn, a Rebel onboard Stark: Correct Gentlemen. Wittmann your little pet is still in the back, you may want to fetch it Wittmann: Shut it Stark! I want answers now! Stark: Heh, you loyalists are all the same, always going about the strict buissness and never about anything else.
Wittmann could here whimpers from the back, Rosie needed help. Takeshi: Go Wittmann, I'll keep Stark here, get help Wittmann: Right, don't let this b*****d go anywhere Takeshi nodded as he pointed JENNY still point at Stark's Head as Wittmann went for Rosie and Help.
Takeshi: So, Rebel to Reaper, figured one of you was a Rebel, I figure more are on your payroll. I've dealt with your kind before Stark, but not one who mercilessly murdeded my men, I know what you did.
Stark smirked, now was the time to show this fool the truth. Stark: You have me wrong Kitagawa. I may be a pain in the arse to you, but who commands this station? Who listens to your pleas and ignores them with delight? Not me, but Hughes and his Loyal Trash. Wittmann may have been easy to trick but he is more of a thinker and one who dosen't like Rebels as much, but you, you lost everything, and now you need someone...
Takeshi: Need someone? Stark: I know of your girlfriend Takeshi, Jenny, the one who dissappeared the first day, no goodbyes, no sorrowful sadness, only the knack to move on. Well, while Hughes gloats with pride over his position, I lead the Rebels to a better cause.
Takeshi: You damned b*****d, never say her name... Stark: Fine! But what of Jester? and Merlin? Your top dogs? Takeshi: Shut up... Stark: Who denied Reaper Weapons and Ships!? Takeshi: ...Hughes... Stark: Who gave the order for only 20 Reapers!? Takeshi: Hughes...
Stark smiled and opened his arms laughing as the iron door behind him opened.
Stark: You see Takeshi! Only the weak follow the loyals! I offer you this! Join the Rebels! Join us and help us put right back into this Sundarian Federation!
Takeshi thought as Wittmann and Several SSS Troopers arrived, aiming at Stark.
Wittmann: Takeshi! Cuff him! Takeshi looked at Stark, then at Wittmann. Wittmann: Takeshi! What are you doing, cuff him!
Takeshi thought...the Reapers...Jenny...Hughes..
Takeshi, who was still aiming at Stark, quickly moving and shooting down Wittman and the Seven soldiers. Dead.
Stark: Well! Takes care of them! Takeshi: If I go with you, I want revenge on Hughes...and everyone on this damned station Stark: Of course Takeshi: Were both Rebels now. Stark: Yes, both fighting for what we belive in Takeshi: The Inferno and some Skippers are in Hangar 84...lets go
Takeshi and Stark walked off, as Wittmann slowly opened his eyes. His BP vest had worked and he needed to stop those two...now...

OOC: Sorry, but that's not really the sort of character I wanted Stark to come out as. That sort of emotional blackmail isn't really in his modus operandi. I'll let it slide, but please try to get the character right. Also, it's pretty common knowledge that Stark doesn't always have the ship's interests at heart - so much has gone wrong that he's been involved in it's hardly surprising that there are suspicions. And again, the rebels aren't directly opposing the ship, just making mischief.
"Colenel Great, give me a report." Edward coughed. "Um, Commodore..." "Please, I would like to know what has happened with Stark." "Well, it's... a bit delicate..." "DAMMIT GREAT!" Hughes slammed his fist on the table. "What the hell has happened with that Commander?" "He's..." Great coughed, "he's made off with Lieutenant Kitagawa." Hughes stood suddenly, a look of thunder on his face. Then, just as quickly, he sat down, resigned. "Well, I can't say I'm shocked," he admitted, "or happy. Losing your entire squad in an instant would turn any man's head. I still don't know why exactly Stark ordered the recon to Nebutra." "The inhabitants were acting oddly, so he wanted to check it out. Also something about raw materials on the surface. Of course, our old mate John Doe chose that time to tell us it was mating season in Nebutra." "But would that have enabled their weapons so fiercely?" "That, I do not know, Sir." "Right." Hughes stood again, and Great followed suit. "Get Wittmann to monitor Stark and Kitagawa. Find out where they are, what they're doing, who's with them. I don't want them to piss without me knowing it. Clear?" "Yes Sir." In his personalised chamber, John Doe tapped a few buttons. The ruler of Nebutra appeared on his screen. The conversation which followed was in Nebutran, so is difficult to transcribe. An approximate translation is as below: John, how are you?I have been better, Ruhl-garrk. Why did you kill the Reapers?You said you wanted to scare Sudriana. I think we did pretty well.But I also said no casualties. That was an explicit order.Well, surely it's not the end of the world.Listen to me. Your other contact on this ship, Commander Tom Stark, has been forced into hiding due to your actions. I should not be telling you this.Then why are you?Because you need to know the consequences of your actions. I take a very dark look on today's happenings, Ruhl-garrk.Right, right, I get it. So what do you want me to do now?If there is any hope of repairing the skippers currently on the surface, please do so. It will not be much, but everything helps.Gotcha.Doe closed communications. He had business to attend to.

Meanwhile, outside the upper-atmosphere of Nebutra, a mysterious radar-cloaked ship hovered silently, watching the slaughter of the Reaper crew. Specialised listening equipment was aimed at the SSS, and the crew had overheard all of the events that had occurred since John Doe's brief about the Nebutran's motives.
Back inside the SSS, John Doe locked the door of his private quarters and breathed a few deep breaths. Slowly he began rearranging the molecules of his body, his outward form changing appearance dramatically. Within moments his transformation was complete and, in his new two-legged state, he walked over to his private mirror and looked at himself. Staring back was the face of Commander Stark, perfect in every detail. So it begins Doe thought to himself, before unlocking the door and strolling out into the hallway...

Wittmann knew he was not close death, death had tryed to claim him before but this was not even close, but what set this apart from the other times he was dieing so he had a plan
"here doggie, doggie"
Rosie walked over
"Do...g pro..gram Over.......ride...code.....19..*Cough*...45
"go down to the.....office*Cough**Cough*.............pull lever 193 engage the *Cough* Genetic key, then find help...........Unconsciousness take me....." Wittmann passed out in a haze of pain.
But by that time Rosie was running as fast her short leg would allow, tripping several interns on the way arriving in the SO Rosie jumped up, snagging her jaws on the all-important lever with a *clunk*.
All the hanger doors shut, and could not be opened without Wittmann's hand print and eye scan.
in Hangar 84 Stark and Takeshi noticed the hanger door shutting
Stark: "Its that bloody dog of Wittmann's! i know it!" Takeshi: "And we would have gotten away with it too if it wasn't for.. Stark: "Make a Scooby-Doo joke and i'll kill you"
In the Mean time SSS soldiers started to drag Wittmann to the medics....
