Hey all. Sorry for being so late with my post. I would have an excuse but I have none other than me being lazy :P
Anyways, here it is! :3
D – 4 – Near Nielson’s Nebula – CICC Hurricane
D – 1 - 2 weeks after the Quadrivium Incident
D – Day – CICC Typhoon – Somewhere near the Ceran border space
D – Day – CICC Typhoon – Near Nielson’s Nebula(CICC Hurricane Meeting Point)
D – Day – CICC Typhoon – Nielson’s Nebula(Library System)
D – Day – Library System Surface
Anyways, here it is! :3
D – 4 – Near Nielson’s Nebula – CICC Hurricane
Spoiler
*The CICC Hurricane was deployed near the Nielson’s Nebula due to odd energy signatures from within. After two weeks of patrols, they detect a massive energy spike….from weapon’s fire. The Hurricane’s Captain walks onto the CIC, taking his command position*
Tactical Officer: Captain on the Bridge.
Hurricane Captain: Status?
Sensors Officer: : Weapons fire coming from within the nebula, energy signatures are consistent with what we know of Alliance and Ryuvian weapons, Sir.
Hurricane Captain: What are Alliance and Ryuvian ships doing in uncharted space?
Science Officer: We put the sensor data through the database and found that the Ryuvian ships are in fact from the Ryuvian Empire time period.
However, the Alliance ships seem to be affiliated with the ADF, Sir. Possible Scouting Flotilla.
Hurricane Captain: We need to know what’s going on out there without putting ourselves at too much risk. Helm, bring us in closer to the battle. Engineering, shut down all non-essential systems and prepare for silent running when we approach the battle site. Sensors, scan the battle site for a better indication of where exactly the battle site is and monitor the battle itself. Science, find out why Ancient Ryuvian ships are here.
*Each station acknowledges their order and the Hurricane’s engines (silently?) roar to life as it moves towards the battle site in a semi-stealth mode.*
--- Half an Hour Later ---
*The Hurricane arrives just outside the combat zone and it looks like the Alliance-ADF ships are taking quite a beating, the bridge crew notices the celestial body, possibly a planet, nearby.*
Hurricane Captain: Well…I guess we’ve found our answer.
Tactical Officer: The ADF ships seem to be taking heavy casualties, should we assist?
Hurricane Captain: No, We cant risk giving our position away to the defenders, Hurricane is a good ship but im not sure that we would fare any better
than those ADF ships. Besides, I know that engine glow means that they’re about to warp out anyways.
Sensors Officer: Preliminary sensor data is coming in for our position in the nebula as well as for the Celestial body that we saw…
Science Officer: It looks like that there are some major structures on the surface and underground….Military Base perhaps?....no, too out of the way….Research base?...maybe but it seems to be too heavily defended for such a remote location…..a database…a library perhaps?!
Hurricane Captain: No sense second guessing, helm get us back out of here. I don’t want to overstay our welcome and have to deal with a Ryuvian Empire Welcoming Committee.
Helm Officer: : Aye, Setting course for previous position. Engage on your order, Sir.
Hurricane Captain: Warp!
The Hurricane disappears in a flash of light as it returns back to its patrol location.
Comms Officer: I imagine Vice Admiral Crescentia would like a report on what we saw, Sir, so I took the liberty of putting together a secure burst transmission destined for the Ashen Wing with the data that we have.
Hurricane Captain: Good…saves me some breath…Send it. Now we sit and wait, as is procedure….
Comms Officer: Sir, it will take several days before the transmission will reach the Ashen Wing.
Tactical Officer: ….So who’s dealing the cards, this time?
Tactical Officer: Captain on the Bridge.

D – 1 - 2 weeks after the Quadrivium Incident
Spoiler
--- Black Mamba, just after leaving Legion ---
*The Black Mamba has just exited the Legion’s Hangar Bay and is headed back towards the Solaris, York and Chizuru are both on the Mamba’s bridge, when a message is being relayed from the Ashen Wing to the Mamba via a heavily encrypted frequency, rarely used.*
York(In a mock Computer voice): You’ve got mail…
Chizuru: Heh, I realize that. Thank you, random pop-up window….Message Playback, most recent.
*The Computer beeps in acknowledgement and the message from the CICC Hurricane starts its playback. Meanwhile, the data found by the ship is shown on the main screen. This information certainly intrigues Chizuru*
Chizuru: A library?...In a Nebula? Defended by Ancient Ryuvian Ships?
York: Sounds important. Makes sense, it’s out of the way. Makes it harder for your enemies to steal your secrets, normally….You aren’t planning on “investigating” that place like you always do with places like that?
Chizuru: *grins* What has given you that idea?...Yes, I am planning on going. I wonder about the technological possibilities such a place might have. You know that improving our ships and other technologies is on the Military’s highest priorities, right?
York: I know, I know….I just don’t like the idea of you going off into the Unknowns and possibly getting hurt.
Chizuru: And I know that you do not like that either. I will be careful, as usual.
York: Okay…
Chizuru: Oh, do not give me ‘that’…You ‘know’ that I do this for the same reasons that you do the things you do for the CSF.
York: Yeah…
Chizuru: Hmm….Well, the Ashen Wing would draw too much attention to CI…perhaps it will be better to use a…smaller vessel.
York: Like a Cruiser?
Chizuru: …Yes, or perhaps….a command cruiser. The Typhoon, it just completed its retrofits and shakedowns, correct?... She doesn’t wait for York to reply Comms, Please send a message to the CICC Typhoon to rendezvous with the Solaris once it returns to Ceran Space.
Mamba Comms Officer: Right away…
The Mamba approaches the Carnivorous Hangar bays of the Solaris and lands inside the Frigate Bay designated for it. The Solaris wastes no time as it warps away, heading for Ceran Space.
--- CSFD Solaris, Ceran Border Space ---
Some time later, the Solaris enters Ceran space, York and Chizuru once again on the CIC but now on the Solaris, instead of the Mamba
Comms Officer: Tethys Class Interdictor, “Venture,” is requesting CSF ID and Flag Validation codes.
York: Transmit them immediately, I don’t want to get shot in my home territory by my own people.
Comms Officer: I didn’t realize we could refuse… Noting that York had to give him an order to transmit the codes instead of just letting the Comms Officer transmit them automatically
Sensors Officer: New contact on sensors, one Typhoon class Command Cruiser.
Chizuru: It seems that my…”ride” is here.
York: Stay safe….please.
Chizuru: We go over this all the time but…I will.
*They smile at each other and go for a hug…but then they realize that they’re being watched by the entire bridge crew so they stop*
*Chizuru takes her leave from the CIC of the Solaris and heads back down to the Mamba. After board, the Mamba lifts off from the Flight Deck and transfers from the Solaris to the Typhoon.*

D – Day – CICC Typhoon – Somewhere near the Ceran border space
Spoiler
*With Chizuru having boarded the CICC Typhoon about 10 minutes ago, the Typhoon readies its stations for the ‘trip’ to Nielson’s Nebula and then to the Library system, to begin their investigation*
Tactical Officer: Director and Admiral on the Bridge.
Helm Officer: Coordinates for CICC Hurricane Rendezvous point are locked.
Chizuru: Engage, best possible speed. We can’t waste any time.
Helm Officer: Aye, Ma’am.
*The Typhoon speeds off into Warp*
Typhoon Captain: Ma’am, the 108th Ranger Paratrooper Regiment boarded the ship before we left. Their Major assures us that we will have their
support on the ground when we begin our investigation.
Chizuru: Good, I’ve heard a lot about the 108th, how they performed Guerilla warfare against PACT forces throughout the Ceran War to Maintain Sovereignty. Their help will certainly be useful.
Typhoon Captain If I may ask, what do you think we’ll find in this “Library”…if it is a library after all.
Chizuru: I do not know. History perhaps, definitely holobooks on technology and sciences. Intact Ryuvian Empire technology….automated defenses….many possibilities.
Typhoon Captain: The usual then.
Chizuru: Indeed…

D – Day – CICC Typhoon – Near Nielson’s Nebula(CICC Hurricane Meeting Point)
Spoiler
*After the Hurricane sent out its transmission to the Ashen Wing, standard CI procedure for investigations is for the investigating ship to meet with the ship which sent the transmission. The CICC Typhoon warps in and maneuvers itself to be parallel to the Hurricane. A transmission is opened between the two Command Cruisers.*
Chizuru: And how accurate is this information?
Hurricane Captain: Its only preliminary data, unfortunately. The defenders may prove to be troublesome. We had to stay hidden to keep the ship intact.
Chizuru: That is not much to go off of…hmm…Still, it would not hurt to perform a more thorough investigation if your scans are indeed correct. You may return to HQ, Hurricane. We can take it from here.
Hurricane Captain: Yes, Ma’am. Good luck.
* The Transmission between the two ships end and the Hurricane warps away. *
Chizuru(quietly): I feel much older when people begin to address me as “Ma’am” or “Madame”…*Out loud* Set course for the “Library System” and-
Sensors Officer: Sorry to interrupt but we have numerous contacts, a fleet, incoming at Warp Speed. Their Trajectory suggests that they’ll go right past us and towards the Library.
Chizuru: Can you give us more information about the identity of these contacts?
Science Officer: Their markings and designations are consistent with ADF ships. The Largest vessel in the formation and the flagship most likely, being the FSS Legion.
Chizuru: Those ADF Scouts did their job correctly, it seems. I wonder if they are here for the same reasons we are. Change of Orders. Shadow them until we reach the Library system. If they engage the defenders there then disengage stealth drives and assist them.
Helm Officer: Intercept and Shadow Course plotted.
Chizuru: Transit.

D – Day – CICC Typhoon – Nielson’s Nebula(Library System)
Spoiler
*With the Hurricane warping back to Ceran Space to resupply, the Typhoon enters the system without its support, witnessing the beginning of the space battle between the ADF Fleet and the Library system’s defense forces.*
Tactical: Disengaging Stealth Drives, Powering Up Weapons
Engineering: Shields Online, Reactors stable.
Helm: Moving to join their formation.
Chizuru: Try to limit our combat to long range. Comms, notify the Mamba to standby and prepare for Planetary Operations. Also notify the 108th to prepare a detachment for the mission.
Tactical: Plas.-Accel. Cannons are online and firing at will.
Comms: Notified.
*The Hurricane joins the ADF Fleet’s formation, using its powerful engines to quickly do so. The Plasma-Accelerator Gatling Cannons mounted on the ship, replacing the normal Savior based Gatling Cannons, begin to open fire on the System’s defenders. Since the Typhoon’s stealth profile makes it a difficult target to hit, it sustains minimal damage as the Fleet nears the planet*
*Once this happens, Chizuru boards the Mamba and the Surface battle now begins.* ((After Spy’s STEHL REIN lol))

D – Day – Library System Surface
Spoiler
*The Mamba exits the Hangar Bay of the Typhoon, headed for the surface. Before Chizuru had transferred her flag onboard the Typhoon, the 108th Ranger Paratrooper Regiment had transferred on board for this “Operation.” Two Platoons are on board the Mamba, one to defend the landing site and the other for breaching the Library itself.*
The Mamba lands at an LZ that is separate from the main ADF LZ. The reason for this is to secure the alternate entrance, draw some defenders away from the ADF forces. Another reason is to begin the investigations with less…distraction. The platoon designated to follow Chizuru into the library moves forward.
Chizuru: Interesting, the architecture is certainly Ryuvian…*The team approaches the entrance*
*They encounter part of the Library’s defense systems. They open fire and, needless to say, so do the Cerans. *
Chizuru: They are not a friendly bunch are they? *She unsheathes her blade and rushes forward into the thick of it *
Some time Later
*After making a hole in their defenses, Chizuru and her team make their way into the library, trying to dodge fire and study the Library and the technology (among other things) at the same time*
Chizuru: Corporal help me out with this… *She hands the corporal next to her a scanner and they both scan as much as they can*
*After some scanning…and lots of oil being spilled from the destroyed robots, Chizuru starts to hear something, deeper from within the library.*
??: (raising voice gradually) --- Well, let me tell you right now, that’s BULLSHIT! If you crawl in the dust after them, you’re only playing into their hands. Now is the time to be sure for certain, Whalecow of Cera… (she gestures at the data cards.) Are you human… or are you Reaper?!
??: --- destroy these. --- trying to make --- solution for everyone. Not just humans… but ---.
??: --- don’t WANT your help! They don’t NEED your help! THEY DON’T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT YOU!
*Chizuru tells the Platoon to return to the Mamba as she continues on. As she expects that those voices are from people she knows*
*Chizuru cuts through the defenders, doing her best to not get hit in the process*
Voice: Imperial technology is housed in repository 1 of 4. Scans show breach. Security at 79% integrity. 62%… 54%… 38%… 29%… 19%… 8%… Security has been nullified.
Velora(??): (Semi-Muffled) I think --- mom’s ---.
Ava(Semi-Muffled): You ---?
Guardian: (enters the room/muffled, cannot make out the words)
*Muffled Explosion*
Voice: *Muffled, Cannot make out the words*
Whalecow: *Less Muffled* --- power down, now.
Voice: *Less Muffled* Understood ---
Whalecow(Less muffled, gets louder and clearer as Chizuru gets closer to the source): We’ll have to ask Admiral Crescentia for that data when we see her. Knowing Mrs. Intel, she’s probably already done the same there as we did here.
(He turns to leave and ends up gun to forehead with a fourth droid.)
Whalecow: Well shit…
(Suddenly, a blade stabs through on the other side of the droid’s head and stops with the tip an inch from Whalecow’s head. The blade is removed and the droid falls to the ground, lifeless.)
Chizuru: (places her blade back in its sheath) …Greetings.
Whalecow: (picks up his own blade and sheathes it.) Sup?
Chizuru: An investigation. And you?
Whalecow: Same. We have all the data that was previously available here. And between the both of us, we should have what the ADF is here for.
Chizuru: Your technician has disabled the primary security for the hallways and central command spire.
Whalecow: Very well. Meet us at our landing zone in 10 so we can… consolidate our victory here.
Chizuru: … (she simply nods.)
(Whalecow does not notice, but instead wanders past her, Velora and Ava in his wake, absentmindedly. There is yet much to think about.)
