OCC: LOVED THAT BACKSTORY! Lol caps:P ============================== By now the Reapers and Nebutrainians were in preperation, they began heavier bombardments. But not several dozen landing ships had began to dock in the hangar bays. Dozens of Nebs and Reapers landed and attacked, Kitagawa leading the charge.
"Jester! Radar! We attack the bridge! Move!"

OOC: Cläy I'm really sorry for Wittmann's about to do to Stark ________________________________________________________
Wittmann had his hands in the air with Stark facing off next to him with the detonator in his hands
"Oh, that's right. Now I want you to open a channel to Hughes. I have some demands I'd like to be met," uttered Stark.
"Stark think about it mate! now! right Now!!? the SSS is being boarded for ch****'s sake!
With his hands still in the air Wittmann sighed heavily
"your really going to hate me for this..." But brighting up in an almost insane way "tell you what! next time we have planet leave I'll buy you a Robo-doggie like mine!"
Stark: "what the he..."
Reacting with the all speed that 15 years training with the Imperial Army had given him.
Wittmann drew his leg back and kicked Stark Squarely between the legs.
Stark Dropped the detonator and after opening his mouth several time like a fish, managed to croak "My girl-friend going to kill you...." he crumpled to the floor in a heap.
Drawing his Side arm, Wittmann fired the whole clip into the detonator
"My apologys Stark" and with that cuffed Stark "these cuffs will unlock in 15 minutes, just enough time for me to go get a head start on saving the day!" and with those words, shrugging on his weapons ran off down the corridor.
The mecha-dog 'Rosie ran after her master but stark would later swear that the dog was sniggering at him "I really hate that little dog of his" he thought
_____________________________________________________ OOC: again sorry Cläy and also i think Stark's really starting to hate that dog of Wittmann's

By now Takeshi and the Reaper/Neb boarding parties were on the SSS, killing dozens. As Takeshi, Jester and Radar made their way to the bridge, they saw...
"Stark"
Stark looked, smirking. "So? Called off the bombs eh? Takeshi looked at Stark, now the Reapers were back, hundreds of them, did he need Stark? "You still want a little chat with Hughes?" "I suppose, if the chance arises" Takeshi broke the cuffs in two as Stark rose, rubbing his hands. "Because Me, You and the Neb Leader have a bone to pick with Hughes, you come with us." Takeshi gave him 2 Handguns. "Shoot to kill"
The 4 moved out.

The four were running along the corridor until they saw something that made them stop, The one confronted the four.
It was Wittmann, in full battle armour wielding the ship's portable Ion-cannon
Takeshi/Stark/Jester/Radar: "WITTMANN!!??"
Wittmann: "Give it up! Just lie down and die Takeshi! You'll Kill us all! And for what? Some stupid notion of revenge!!"
Takeshi: "Revenge for the dead reapers is all i want!"
Wittmann: "you believe what Stark told you!? then your as stupid as look!
Stark: Wittmann! what the he....."
Wittmann: "Shut up Stark! Grown ups are talking!
Time seemed to slow to a crawl
Takeshi started to draw his weapon up so that he could fire, But Wittmann was quicker. A blinding flash and ray of white light burst from the end of the gun.
Stark, Jester and Takeshi threw themselves away from the line of fire. But Radar was not so lucky...
A flash of light, an inhuman shriek of pain, and a strong smell of ozone followed
Takeshi: ".......wha..........."
Stark: "my head..."
Jester: "ow..."
Takeshi: "NOOO!!!
Wittmann: "......"
Takeshi: "Thats it! Wittmann you f***ing B******! you F***ing son of a F***ing wh*** I'm going to murder you!! right here, right now! Swords, to the DEATH!!
Wittmann: "Thats Fine with me!!"
Wittmann yanked the strap of his battle Armour, which caused it to drop off
At the same time Wittmann and Takeshi Drew their swords and launched themselves at each. The old war weary long sword clashed with 'Reaper', in a flurry of sparks and guttural snarls
Wittmann: "Again, surrender!" Takeshi: "NEVER!"
The swords moved too fast for the eye to follow, the only thing Stark and Jester could see was sparks and blurs.
Takeshi: "Is this how you fight?! your mother could sword fight better than this!" Wittmann: "What was that?! Really now! but in all seriousness I'm just toying with you!"
With a mighty stroke Wittmann shattered Takeshi's sword leaving Takeshi with just half of the blade left which resembled a broken wolf fang
Wittmann: "Enough of this!"
Wittmann jumped forward swinging his blade sideways at Takeshi. Takeshi could not jump away in time, as Wittmann jumped away blood started to flow from the massive wound in his chest, Takeshi dropped his sword and fell to his knees
Takeshi: "how unforeseen......."
Wittmann: "May's the Hells take you Takeshi...."
Wittmann redonned his armour and strode down the hall leaving the 'corpse' of Takeshi with Jester and Stark in his wake .....
.....
.....
.....
.....
.....
.....

**************Ten minutes later*************************
Takeshi sat up and shook his head "There appears to be blood on my shirt" He announced...............

================================================
Takeshi rose. Radar...he thought.
"Thats it."
He saw that Stark and Jester were fine, he got on the comm with the nearest patrols.
"Neb squads 2-6, and Reaper Squads 15 and 18, we have the guilty one in corridor B, I'm locking him in now."
Takeshi saw Wittmann's location on his monitor, he saw the iron doors. With a push of a button, Wittmann was locked in.
*** Wittmann was curious. He was sandwhiched between two Iron doors, no overide. He tried to contact Rosie but to no avail. Suddenlly, a small door opened as the Reaper and Neb squads entered, lead by Private Spade.
Spade: Wittmann... "Reaper trash..." Spade: This is for Radar!
The squads shot up like firing squads on marshall...no escape...
*** Takeshi, Stark and Jester had reached the Bridge, there was Hughes, with a handgun. The Nebutrainian Leader and some troopers along with some Reapers came in as well.
"Welcome to the new world Hughes" Hughes: Shut it Reaper! You can't do this! Stark: Your going to stop this? Living up to your title now Hughes?
Takeshi walked over and cuffed Hughes, then began beating him to death. "This is for the Reapers!"
More pounding.
"This is for the Nebutrainians!"
More Pounding.
"And this is for what you did to Jenny!"
A hard punch this time, Hughes was bloody all over. Jester and another Reaper Clubs came over and picked him up as Takeshi looked out to see hundreds of Reaper and Neb ships firing on the Sudriana. He popped up some holoscreens.
"Take a look Hughes" Hughes looked up to see Millions of Reaper ships, all over the Galaxy. "The Reapers are making alliances. The Nebutrainans are the first to be part of my army. I'm letting them have their revenge.
Takeshi smirked.
"I'm an insane madman arn't I Hughes?" Hughes: Your and idiot! With that he spat a splotch of Blood at Takeshi's face, hitting his cheek. Takeshi hit some buttons on his wristcomm and he saw the screen, the iron sealed doors to the Dorms and Hospital Wing were open.
"Nebutrainian Emperor! By my power your revenge is granted. Everyone in that sector is yours to slaughter. Reapers go with him, Jester stay here."
The Nebs left as Stark and Jester stayed. Stark began to clap. Stark: I admit, this was well planned, but, it's not my place. "Want a ship?" Stark: I'll hang around, these events are...interesting "Jester, ready the Fleet, I have plans for the SSS" Hughes: What?"
"Well Hughes. Humans have long ran supreme, and some are, exceptional. But the rest are trash, for they ruin themselves and run into the ground with their problems. So, I have decided to put this to good use, the Sudriana I mean. I am going to take this station back to hear, and fill it with are, Reaper special. Bombs, nuclear bombs. From their I will crash the Sudriana into earth, causing a chain reaction, wiping out all living life..."
This made Hughes go wide eyed straight away.
"I want all Human Life to be exterminated. I lost so much, I find it fitting for you to loose more. Right now their are hundreds of Reapers and Nebs on board this station, and by now the latter had begun their genocide in the dorms and hospital."
Hughes: Your a monster! All of you Reapers are! "We are insane, we are murders, we are everything bad, we always were...to you trashbags..."
Takeshi smirked. Was it over? What would happen now? "Jester...leave the station and head for the Joker Base..." Jester: Why sir? "I know that my time is near, it's too obvious. I may live, but my duty is fufilled."
Jester stared. "Sir?" "I am going to personally crash the Sudriana into Earth, I want to be the one who will end the Human Race forever..."
With that Jester left. Stark was leaning against a wall, staring. Hughes was on the ground, still bloody. Takeshi pulled out a locket of a ballerina, which played a creepy but soothing melody when it opened. There was a picture of a girl, same age as Takeshi.
Takeshi closed his eyes as a tear rolled down his scar and markings.

Richard's face appeared on a monitor and spoke. “I do apologise if I'm interrupting anything.” it stated “I would call back, only there's a rampaging mob outside my engineering bay. Apparently, they are threatening to kill everyone inside. You wouldn't happen to know about this, would you?”
Takeshi looked confused “I haven't ordered anyone to exterminate the engineering bay, yet.”
Jones stared back and replied “Well, whoever’s outside is a bit of a talker. Apparently, the Sudriana is homebound?”
Takeshi sat down and stated bluntly “What’s it to you, human? You won’t be alive by that point.”
The Commander sighed and sadly said “And if the Reapers get to Earth, they won’t be alive ever again.”
Takeshi pointed his pistol at the screen, and threatened “Save your self a couple of hours of torture, Jones. And tell me what you mean by that.”
“I was an observer at an preliminary project meeting that developed into the original Reaper project.” Ricky explained “It was for military grants, a contract to create a disposable army.”
Takeshi grinned “This tale amuses me, continue.”
“The contract had one specific detail, I can remember as clear as day. An incapacitation clause should the army refuse orders and turn sides.” Jones replied “They’ve planned it for years! I can’t tell you anything else, as they didn’t say what they had planned! Though considering their good plan, I’d hate to think what the bad plan was”
Takeshi shot the screen off with his pistol. He didn’t feel like talking any longer.

Takeshi sighed and contacted Spade.
"Spade, Wittmann?" Spade: Sorry Sir, he flashbanged out "Enough. I want all teams to Engineering, now" Spade: Yes Sir!
Takeshi sat in the Bridge chair. Hughes was in a corner,sick from blood loss. Stark was looking out the Bridge, at the Reaper ships. Takeshi sighed and looked at his arm, the device. Each Reaper had one. If removed the Reaper would become more stronger, more chaotic, more insane. Takeshi knew this, he also knew that the incapacitation order did exist.
"So...Jones was their on B-Day..."
He looked at the device. Insanity? Or death...
"All Reapers" said Takeshi over the loudspeaker, "Remove your Incinerator Key...now" The Reapers all stopped. "All Reapers, remove key now!"
Takeski removed his key. This was part of the plan. Should the Sudriana fail to make it to earth, what could stop 2500 insane and death craving Reapers from killing everyone on board, then they could go to the master plan. He heard the screams over the comm, the Reapers had done it, the Incinerator Key was removed. The Reapers were losing it now, they were going insane, more bloodthirsty.
"Spade! How do you feel?!" Spade: Bloodthirsty Sir! I crave Death! "And your emotions?" Spade: We have no emotions...Sir!"
"It has begun, nothing to stop us now"

Wittmann really Hated being shot. During his spell with the Police he had been shot two times, The result broken ribs all round.
Wittmann: "okay you guys shot me, do I get a turn at shooting you guys?" Spade: ".....wait...what?" Wittmann: "well in every other game you swap ends at some point, so its only fair if we do!" Spade: " no seriously! someone tell me what this mad man is saying!?" Wittmann: "well fine! if we don't do that, then I'll do this!
Drawing his fateful side arm before any of his attacker could react, Wittmann had systematically shot all of the Nebutrainians, While the Reapers were still bringing their weapons up to fire, Wittmann had rammed a fresh clip into the Pistol and fired on the Reapers, When the smoke cleared two people were left standing: Spade and Wittmann
Wittmann hoisted Spade into the air by his collar "WHO SENT YOU!!" Spade: "**Never**" Wittmann: "WHO. SENT. YOU." Spade: "*****Never!*****" Wittmann: "Fine then" Witmann grapped the barrel of his weapon and drew it back ready to smack the butt of his pistol straight into Spade's face Spade: "N..n..not the Face!! please! Wittmann: "THEN who sent you!" Spade: "T...T..Takeshi!" Wittmann: "Thats a lie! and you know it!" Spade: "No! i'm not telling you a lie! I...I...Its the truth!" Wittmann: "Give me your com device" Spade shaking passed it over to Wittmann. The order to attack him had come just after 11 min past their sword duel. Wittmann: "you were right." Spade: "l.l..let me go!" Wittmann: "I thought about it.." Spade: "and?" Wittmann: "yes!" Wittmann dropped spade onto the floor
Wittmann before moving out, howled "TAKESHI!"
Wittmann thunder down the hall having left the ambush point and met up 'Rosie'
Takeshi was surveying the Great Blackness, When suddenly the door burst open
Wittmann: "Takeshi! you undead b*****d!!" Stark/Jester/Hughes: "Wittmann?!" Takeshi: "How did you survive that ambush!?" Wittmann: "Battle Armour's bullet proof Fool! I may have a few cracked ribs but I'm not dead, like your meant to be! Takeshi: "you don't have the guts to kill me!" Wittmann: "THEN LETS FIND OUT!! En guarde!!
Wittmann drew his sword and dropped his armour, Takeshi drew the shattered remains of his sword.
Again the Two kicked off, launching themselves at each other!
This time the fight was swinging in Takeshi's Favor Wittmann had never faced a foe with a short sword so Takeshi was able to weave in and out of his blows.
Suddenly Wittmann was on the back foot and losing ground fast.
With sparks flying Wittmann dropped into a corner
Takeshi drew his sword back for the final cut Takeshi: "Any last words?" Wittmann: "Yeah! Go to hell!" Takeshi: "I'll see you there then!"
Takeshi started to move when suddenly "AAAARRRRGGGGRRR!!!. The Mecha-Dog 'Rosie'! she was biting Takeshi in the rear
Takeshi: "Get it off me!!" Wittmann: "Good girl, now run for it!"
Rosie ran off but her distraction was not lost. Wittmann got up and continued the fight, Driving Takeshi back with sheer force of rage.
With a brutal Blow Wittmann disarmed Takeshi, the sword went spinning into the floor.
Wittmann: "just give it up Takeshi! just Give it up! Takeshi: "never!" Wittmann: "fine......."
With another Brutal cut, Wittmann drove his sword through Takeshi's chest disabling his heart
Takeshi fell to the floor, Wittmann dropped to his knees worn out and overcome with pain and sorrow.
Stark picked up Takeshi's locket and placed it noiselessly and gently on the unruined part of Takeshi's still breathing chest.........

OCC: Time for Takeshi's depature. Great RP guys! Glad I was part of it. ================================================== By this time the Nebutrainians had finished their buissness and left. In the Sudriana bay, Jester, a few Reapers and an injured Spade were out and in jump...leaving Takeshi to commit his goal.
*** When Jones and a few security troopers arrived on the Bridge. Stark was against the wall, Wittmann and Hughes bloody and bruised, and a very bloody Takeshi on the floor. Jones knew what he had to do.
Jones: So...Takeshi. Your plan, over? No Reply...
Jones: Well Wittmann, looks like Takeshi and his goals are no more. But...as I said previouslly...there were countermeasures, and there are hundreds of Reapers still on Board. Jones went to the Bridge computer and opened the Reaper.Exe file. It was a white cell destroyer of sorts, it would kill all Reapers on the Station. As Jones typed, he heard a groaning. Stark, Hughes and Wittmann all stared as the very bloody Takeshi stood up...slouching and being bloody.
Wittmann: Takeshi?! Hughes: Impossible! Stark: Impressive... Jones: Takeshi...give it up!
Takeshi said nothing. The Holoscreen had the Reaper Genocide project open. He saw the 4 humans and the 17 Troopers aiming at him. Takeshi began slowly walking over to the holoscreen, leaving a trail of blood. He saw his mighty fleet. He became a bit teary, holding the Locket, that precious locket. He went over as Jones moved out of the way. Takeshi, blood and tears, put his hand on the button which would end the Reapers, forever.
Jones: Wait Takeshi! You don't have to do this! Stark: What is this anyways? Jones: Reaper Genocide, if pressed every Reaper will die from the inside, the real countermeasures...
Takeshi slouched and fell as his blood covered the bridge. He saw the button and turned at everyone.
"*cough*.....Every....body......dies.....in....th...the....end.....d....*cough*"
Takeshi pressed it. Soon, Reapers all over the ship began spewing blood and dying. The Reaper ships stopped firing as their pilots and soldiers were dead. Everyone was dead. Takeshi began to laugh, laugh hysterically as he fell to the ground leaving a pond of blood. His Scarred right eye presented a tear.
"If only...If you saw me now my dear. Would you call me a monster? An idiot? A pathetic man wanting something to do? Was that it?"
Hughes stood up. He knew who Takeshi was talking about. Time for the secret to be unveiled.
Hughes: Jones, how many of ours dead? Jones: The Reapers killed noone, only the Nebs got a few kills in. 16 dead, why? Hughes: Was this real...were the reapers really insanse?
He walked over to the screen, and a picture of a beautiful blonde girl with icy blue eyes and a smile which glittered appeared. A name presented itself.
Hughes: Jenny "Kitagawa" Whoston, still alive on planet Axalon. She was never dead Takeshi, i'm sorry.
Takeshi stood up again, this time rushing with his broken leg. His blood all over still. Hughes and Jones moved as they stared. Takeshi saw her picture and put his hand to it, but it went through the Holoscreen like it was dust in the air.
"Tell her.....I...will.....be....be....home....so....soon...." Takeshi opened the Locket, a picture of him and Jenny on earth. He let everyone hear that eary and melodic tune, before he fell on his back, blood pouring from his mouth and eyes. He clenched the locket as he smirked, and with his last breath, his eyes opened as his head turned to the side and the locket rolled out of his hand...still playing that melody...

SOME WELL DESERVED R&R [aka LOG 4]
After taking light to medium damage in a battle, The Sudriana has limped to the nearby space port Portatian.
Hughes has decided that that the ship needed repair. This gives the crew time for Some Well deserved R&R and planet leave
Info: Portatian: A medium sized planet located next to a large Space port. Temperature's ranges from cold to freezing, The SSS has arrived in the middle of Winter, So the planet is covered in ice and snow. The SSS crew are holed up in a large group of cabins south west of the main city: Ventisca
Quote: I'm going for a walk, I may be sometime.... Captain Oates
______________________________________________________________ OOC: I thought a change of pace was necessary after the events of the past few posts.
Naming: Ventisca: Spanish for Snow-drift Portatian: Derived from the word Portal
Edit: got bored, felt the itch to write!
______________________________________________________
Captain Major Michael Wittmann lay in a bank of snow, waiting. Clad in furs and holding his rifle all he could do was wait, and think. Two days had passed since the arrival at Portatian, Wittmann had grow bored of sitting, around reading trashy novels. So Dragging Colonel Great away from his hot cocoa, the pair had set up an improvised Sniper firing range.
Great whined over Wittmann's head set "Bloody cold, how much more of this!?" Wittmann: "Great anytime you feel like popping the target up is fine with me." Great: "ohhhhh yeah... right"
The target popped up, Wittmann aimed briefly through the flurrying snow and fired, The bullet hit the cardboard mock-up in the head, the target flopped over
Watching through a scope, Great observed the shot "good shootin, Can we please go!!?" Wittmann emerging from the snow sighed "Yeah fine, I think i did all right, Wittmann's hand went to the bolt of his rifle and tried to move it. "I don't believe this!"
Great: "hmm?" Wittmann: "The bloody thing has frozen shut! BAH! Its too cold! back to base!
Wittmann grapped his gear and stared to trudge back to the cabins, Great followed behind

Great and Wittmann arrived back at the small outpost. The cabins had been hurriedly constructed and were cold and drafty. "Surely we could have found a better hotel on Earth?" joked Wittmann. "How about we go to Ventisca when this blizzard passes?" asked Great. "The blizzard never passes. Welcome to Portatian! Storms and snow forecast 24/7," grumbled Wittmann. "No, man. I've got these portable holonets up and running, and tuned it into Portatian's main transmission frequencies. There's a break in the storms for a couple of hours. We could head to the city and have a look around," explained Great, fiddling with the holonet unit with his tuning probe. It was a primitive piece of technology that is rarely found nowadays, but Great favours this device as one of his motifs. "It's not the same without Rosie," sighed Wittmann. "Come on, mate. She's better off on the SSS. Hughes promised to look after her. Besides she needs some of her parts checked over still after..." his voice trailed off. "Ventisca it is!" exclaimed Wittmann. "But you'd better be right about this weather." "I'll see if any of the other crewmembers are interested. And I'll see if anyone from the Space Station Crusby is interested in coming," added Great. "It's nice to see another Earth Space Station docked, so we might as well get to know the crew a bit better." "Yeh, good idea," said Wittmann. "I'll prepare another couple of layers of clothing for us, too." "You'd better with these temperatures. Brrrr..." replied Great. He picked up his mug of cocoa. He had been smiling, but his face turned blank upon peering inside the mug. Wittmann heard him tap the contents of the mug with his tuning probe. "Frozen solid," huffed Great, and he went over to the kettle to make some more.

Wittmann and Great trudged through the snow, beating the ice off of their faces.
The pair had left the Outpost after receiving a very blunt "Pi** off! Your letting the heat out!" from Stark and Ricky, admittedly this might have been influenced by the fact that Wittmann had kicked Stark in a very painful place within the last three days.
Wittmann stopped and looked up and saw the great bulk of the Sudriana hanging almost in limbo in the upper atmosphere, moored from the tower. From the ground it looked like a Grey pillar of marble.
Wittmann: "Do you stop and think just how far away from Earth we are?" Great: "Well.....yeah but not often...." Wittmann: "I do. My Grandfather told me tales of when space travel has just starting.." Great: "What of it?" Wittmann: "Well being this far away from Earth was unthinkable back then."
Snippets of a very old song, unheed and uncalled drifted through Wittmann's mind.. Wittmann: "And the road I must travel, Is the road I cannot see." Great: "Hmm? did you say something?" Wittmann: "Nothing!....Nothing at all......"
The pair were half way along the road to Ventisca. The city was old being one of the first to be built on the planet. The city was built in the style of the Soviet concrete blocks of apartment. The City was built from concrete with no love what so ever, the one thing that set it apart from the surrounding area was the gigantic tower which allowed the wondering Space Stations to moor in the upper atmosphere. But something else stood out to Wittmann: A ring of barrels with fires burning in them.
***( a Quarter left to travel to the city)***
Wittmann: "Hold up." Great: "what?" Wittmann: "Do you hear something? Great: "Now that you mention it?" Wittmann/Great: "Oh Gods!"
It was Howling. Specifically, The howling of the Portatian Snow Wolves , the first wolves were brought over when the planet was first colonized, Without the Humans and pollution of Earth the wolves grew Faster, Stronger, Smarter, Better.
Fortunately for the humans of Portatian the wolves were not hostile towards humans
Unfortunately for the Colonel and the Captain-Major a whole pack of them was charging towards them, Murder in their eyes.
Wittmann: "oh!..." Great: "...sh**!" Wittmann: "Run for it! I'll hold them off Great: "right! I'll get a flaming Branch!"
While Great ran for it., Wittmann knew that his rifle was still frozen so he drew his side arm and aimed at the wolves a full clip later the full pack of 12 wolves was down to six.
Wittmann: "reloading!"
Wittmann ran to the barrel where Great was heaving a flaming branch from the barrel
Great: "what took you!"
Wittmann continued his firing dropping the wolves down to five when suddenly...
Wittmann: "Oh hell no!!" Great: "What?!" Wittmann: "Pistol's frozen!!"
The wolf charged at Great and leaped but Wittmann was faster with a flash of his knife he cut the wolf down in mid flight
Wittmann: "**Deep breathing**" Great: "I think...I owe you one Captain-Major" Wittmann: "Make it up to me in the pub over there"
Wittmann: "Funny. There's a chip in the wolfs head." Great: "What? Wittmann: "It resembles the one from the Reapers........"
Wittmann waved in the direction of the local Tavern: The Wolf's Head.
Wittmann: "Pub time!"
***Inside the Tavern***
Arriving in the pub Wittmann and Great made for the Bar front Wittmann: "BARKEEP! Large larger with a Vodka back! Great: we were attacked by wolves and your going to have a drink!" Wittmann: "Of course" Great: ".....Small Larger!" Wittmann: "Barkeep!, got a name?" Barkeeper: "yeah its Eis. Heres your drinks." Wittmann drained a large draft from his mug and started to question Eis.
Wittmann: "We were attacked by Wolves. Has anything like this happen recently?" Eis: "Well yeah....it has! Great hijacked the conversation as Wittmann continued to drain his glass. Great: "Any Ideas why this is happening? Eis: "Folks been saying that some person in the local mountains have been causing this. they been offering a cash reward for information."
Wittmann's head snapped around so fast, that people later claimed that his neck snapped.
Wittmann: "REWARD!?" how much for killing that person? Eis: "If its stops the wolves from attacking, well yeah...more" Wittmann: "Great get on the blower to Stark we're going hunting! Save the day and so on!" Great: "oh gods".

OCC: Right, so since my Character is dead and I love this Story, I want to do another sort of, villan. Nothing huge like the Reapers but a villan none the less. PM if there are any concerns or ideas. ==================================
"Great get on the blower to Stark we're going hunting! Save the day and so on!" "Oh Gods..."
The voices heard from the Pub were loud as Hunters and Mercenaries alike heard this. Most paid no attention but a certain table had one seated listening clearly.
Markus Ragnos was a criminal, wanted for the murder of 2999, wanting to make 3000 a special kill. He sipped his bottle of gin as his close friend and partner Kriker Ross sipped his drink and checked his computer for jobs. Markus smirked.
"Hunting? Thats my Job. Stupid space station lackeys..." Kriker: Pay no attention..., wait, we got a job! Markus we got a job!
Markus listened as Kriker explained that a bounty had been but out. A bounty for 3 men, a Royston Hughes, Edward Great and Michael Wittmann...
"Who posted the hit?" Kriker: Nebs, after that incident we heard in the news, the Reapers remember? 'Yeah, who knew they were insane"
The two called up their men, the Bounty Hunters Guild. They posted the hit. "This is for all BHG members, 3 hits posted. Carry out at will. Images downloading now."
The BGH computer shun as the mug shots of Hughes, Wittmann and Great appeared. The Nebutrainians wanted them dead or alive.
"Lets get back to the ship Kriker, we have work to do..."

"Stark! Jones! Are you receiving me?" cried Great over his comms unit. "For the last time, we're not going on your barry expedition," bellowed the reply, obviously Stark. "I've got some news. Me and Wittmann were attacked by wolves..." "Wittman dead?" interrupted Stark. "No, he's just in the pub!" replied Great. "...Oh," muttered Stark. "The wolves seemed to have some of chip in their head," Great went on. Over the intercom, he heard Jones stumble from a chair and scurry closer to Stark's comms unit. "A chip you say?" Jones asked, now slightly more intrigued. "The attacks have been rather common as of late, according to the barkeeper. Me and Wittmann are going to the mountains. Rumour has it, the mastermind of these attacks lives up there," Great explained. "Fair enough. We'll find some of the crew of the Crusby. Captain Daniel Oates and Commander Rebecca Diamond might be interested," replied Stark. "Cool," shivered Great. "Very funny," murmured Jones "Meet us at the Wolf's Head. Bring guns, and a good source of heat would be nice." Great snapped his comm unit shut. He walked back to Wittmann inside the pub.

At that time Makus and Kirker were at a small building the the city. They went down the lift to the underground, where 5 dozen bounty hunters had assembled. There were humans, Nebutrainians, and a few other species. Markus spoke to the crowd.
"Alright. As you all know we've gotten are mission. 3 Sudriana Workers, ones the damn Commadore. We need to...get rid of them for the Nebutrainians, they apparantley posted the hit. They've got 50 Million Credits plus Neb weapons and ships. We could use this."
He looked at a human bounty hunter named Mikal. He had scars on his face but he was of a hunter decent. He looked meanigful.
"Mikal. Find them, end them." Mikal: Sir...
Mikal quickly got up and sped off towards Wittmann and Great's location.

Stark stood up and looked at Jones. "Tell me again, Ricky," he said, "whose idea was it to dock on this planet?" "Good question," Jones answered, "I think it was Great." "Barry moron..." Stark muttered. "Look, give me a few minutes, I'll catch up at the Wolf's Head." "Will you?" "Yes, I will. What are you implying?" "Oh, nothing." "Good." Stark walked out, and returned to his barracks. On the way, his communit beeped into life. He lifted it to his mouth. "Stark, go ahead." "Hey, Tom, how's things?" "I've had better weeks... that whole Nebutra thing went to s*** a lot worse than I had hoped for, Bob. What's up?" "Want to go skipping?" "Not right now, I'm too far behind in 'Ston's bloody credit list. I'll have to keep schtum for a month or so to get some cred back." "Ah, right. Well, you know where I am if you need me." "Too right I do. See you round." Stark hung up. Peeking out the window at the bitter landscape as he selected a jacket, he thought about Kitagawa and everything that had happened. So Takeshi himself was already dead... why didn't anyone notice? The Reaper project was a lot more successful than I could have given it credit for. The communit beeped. Stark opened it, but before he could say anything, he heard Hughes roar at him. "Tom!" "Commodore." "You heard anything about Great and Wittmann?" "What? Nah, nothing interesting just that they're scouting the surface. Don't know why, it's barry cold out there." "Where have you been, then?" "With Ricky, we were tracking them to see nothing interesting happened." "Well apparently they've been attacked. I want you to get down there and help them out. Find Doe and take him too." "Right, sir." Hanging up, Stark wondered just how slowly information got to the Commodore, based on the fact that he was already doing what Hughes had ordered on the request of Great and Wittmann. Some minutes later, he was on the surface, scanning for the Wolf's Head. As he kept his eyes on the horizon, someone shuffled along behind, footsteps muffled by the snow.

Wittmann had been asking for a more specific location of this man's house, and Eis had kindly been telling him about the mountain routes. Wittmann turned around and saw that Great had re-entered. "The Sherrif went up there a few days ago to check it out, according to Eis. Turns out no one has seen or heard him since. It's about a forty minute walk, so we can get up there, find out what's going off and get back to the cabins, or maybe the SSS before that blizzard hits again," said Wittmann, bringing Great up to speed. "Jones and Stark should be here from the cabins in a few minutes. I think they'll bring Oates and Diamond with them from the SSC... Where's my small larger?" asked Great glancing at an empty glass with only a drop trickling down the inside from the top. "That's brilliant. Jones should be able to figure out what this chip business is all about," said Wittmann, unconvincingly trying to avoid the question. "You'll buy me another one right?" frowned Great. "Next time we're in here. We gotta see if those four are coming. Check they don't get attacked themselves." "But if we go straight back to those draughty cabins, we won't come here again!" complained Great. "Exactly," chuckled Wittmann. Great reluctantly followed. "You know I could order you to buy me a drink!"
When they got outside, Jones was arriving with the two officers from the Space Station Crusby. "Captain Daniel Oates," boomed the butch looking man, offering his hand. Great shook his hand. "I'm Colonel Great, and this is Captain-Major Wittmann." "I'm Commander Rebecca Diamond," said the woman. "It seems we have a problem," began Great. "A problem concerning wolves," put in Wittmann Peering out of the bar window was Mikal. He was armed with a shotgun. Many of the people however, found it common for people to carry guns on this planet, as meat was the only source of food, which therefore had to be hunted. He turned around and sat back at his table.
Stark was trudging out to the Wolf's Head. He heard the footsteps behind him. He turned slowly around to see John Doe behind him. "Apologies if I startled you," uttered Doe monotonously. "Oh, not really," snorted Stark. "You up for a trudge in the snow?" "I was asked to come here by Commadore Hughes and am prepared for the harsh conditions. My kind are very adaptable to such temperatures so I consider myself... up for it, as you say. "OK, then. Jones and those two muppets from the Crusby are probably there already, so we'd better get a move on."

OOC:Look at what you people did to my small side plot. you guys made it better than i ever could do! ________________________________________________________
Wittmann and Great waited for Stark to arrive with the group that already arrived.
Eventually Stark and John Doe trudged into view.
Doe: "Greetings Stark: "Ten seconds Witty to explain what the barry Hell is going on? Before I shoot you! Doe: "Yes. what is going 'on'." Jones: "Yeah....what is going on Wittmann? you never actually told us!" Diamond/Oates: "Yeah....."
Wittmann: "OKAY!OKAy!OKay!Okay! Portatain Wolves attacked us! According to local information some nutjob calling himself the 'Wolf Khan' is controlling the local Wolves. Now from my research a Earth ship carrying Experimental Tech cashed on that mountain at the same time as the Wolves started to attack.
Stark: "So....." Wittmann: "so further to that the ship was carrying sort of new mind control helmet, Built on Earth and being transported to the labs much further away from Portatian" Great: "what about the micro chip?" Wittmann: "Richard?...." Jones: "Surplus Reaper tech." Doe: "What purpose would this serve?" Wittmann: "Making the Wolves easier to control for one, and kill if necessary." Stark: "One thing. How do we split the reward?"
Once the discussion was over, Stark dropped a sack of weapons he had gathered at Wittmann's and Great's request, Stark: "Lets see whats in the bag of tricks today: Wittmann's Sword, Great's Hand gun, Spare rifles and pistols for our guests and......." Great: "oh" Jones: "my" Oates: "Gods! Wittmann where you get that thing!"
The 'Thing' in Question was Wittmann's Flame Thrower
Great: "Didnt we bring you up on a court marshal for bringing that 'thing on to the Ship?!" Wittmann: "yeah. But Hughes said that if i kept it in his office, I could keep it"
Wittmann: "I hired us some rides" The Captain-Major lead the group over to where four snow mobiles sat purring in a parking lot
Wittmann: "Before we go pour some of this anti-freeze into your Weapons to stop them from freezing" Stark: "really?" Wittmann: "okay thats not really true, only for a bout half way the Mountain" Stark: "why?" Wittmann: "its Really cold up there!"
Wittmann shouted at Great "You drive! I'll gun!
The group roared out of Ventisca
Mikal fumed.............

Mika rushed towards his vehicle to give chase but was stopped by a call from Markus. "Progress Mikey?" Mikal: None, they took of in a Gunner, i'm going after... "No, wait there. Me and the men are en route. Were going for one of the stations" Mikal: Which one? The Sudriana? "No, the Crusby. Were armed, I suggest you do the same..." Mikal: Why the Crusby?" "Were gonna pull something off, the Nebs will give creds for any Station Cadets dead so were gonna pick up some cash and have some fun..." Mikal: Right, i'll be at the pub.
Mikal walked off as Markus and his men were en route to the Crusby.
