Battleship Excalibur, Omega-15, BorderWorlds

Alan awoke in the ships infermary, he had a ruff first step into this new life away from Cali. He was on board a Supplyship from manhattan bound to the Excalibur when it had been ambushed by a groupf of Freelance Bountyhunters, the only reason he had lived was he used a ejection pod, and was picked up by one of the Supply ships escorts.

Looking around he saw mean and women walking around in lab coats, checking on other injured and running tests. A nurse came over to him, and check an I.V that was running into his Arm.

Nurse: And how are we this morning pilot?

Her tone was gentle and soothing, she moved his pillows and made sure he was comfortable.

Nurse: Ahh the quiet type eh, well let me check your vitals, and if everything looks ok we can probably get you out of here and back to your squadron.

She helped him sit up and removed a stethiscope from her pocket, placing the plugs in her ears, and pressing the cold metal disk on his back.

Nurse: Ok, now breath in deep three times for me.

He did as he was told, after every breath she moved to a different spot on his back. After she was done, she pulled his shirt back down and had him relax in bed.

Nurse: Your lungs sound fine, Ill get the doctor to check you over and well let ya out ok?

She smiled and started to walk away when she looked back.

Nurse: My names Jennifer Cortiso, was nice to meet you pilot.

Jennifer walked over to another Bed, and began ceckups on him. Later that afternoon Alan was released to get to his squadron, As he walked through the hanger bay he could see Rows of Titans, some with nose Art, all with battledamage.

It was going to be tough getting use to working with Corsairs, haveing been raised On Cali since a child he was told countless times that the Corsair scum where the Outcasts Sworn enemy. And now a group was forming under the banner of a new person, Captain Kristy " Lady Death " Pryde, it was her goal to bring together the two strongest Pirate groups and unite them in a common cause.

From what Allan had heard this ship had been turned into a Research station for Alien Technology, and to also learn more about the Bounty hunters guild, and how they had recieved such strong weaponry for there pilots, Weapons that where clearly no built by Humans.

As he walked down the hall to the squadron barracks, he passed Corsairs and Outcasts alike, and they all seemed happy to be here, there wasn't any fighting or argueing between any of them.

As he turned the corner to barracks he could hear loud club music coming from the other side of the Door, when the hatch slid open he was greated with a motly site, men and women, Corsair and outcast drinking and dancing, some where sitting around a table drinking shots and playing cards, while others where reading magazines in there bunks, there was even a few kissing in there half cover bunk.

When he walked in one of the Corsairs dancing noticed and, apparently drunk announced his arrival.

Corsair: HEEEEYYYY!!!, Look whos hear its our replacement, Welcome to the squadron buddy, feal free to pull up a chair and have a drink, woooooohooooo!!!

As he said this everyone in the room looked over and cheered and raised there glasses, The man who made the announcement, a Bleached blonde tanned skinny man ran over with a bottle of Sidwinder fang.

Cazick: Hey buddy, the names Cazick, But everyone here calls me sidewinder, have a drink of the goooood sluff, hehe

He handed Allan the bottle, and motioned to take a gulp, not wanting to get off on the Wrong foot, he gladly drank, It was smooth, but burned when it hit his stomach, almost making him through up, but keeping his cool, he drnk four big gulps then handed it back.

Sidewinder: Heyyy!!, hes not a shtick in the Mudd, haha to cool, come on ill show you your little slice of heavan on this barge.

They both walked over to an empty bunk, it was clean and tidy, and looked fairly spaceious for a Millitary Bunk, but Allan wasn't complaining, Allan tossed his dufflebag on the bed and sat down.

Sidewinder: Ohh man where are my manners, whats your name?

Allan looked up, " My names Allan, and im an Outcast from Cali ", he waited for a bitter hatefull remark from Sidewinder but none came.

Sidewinder: Wow, haha another Outy, thats cool, hey Ariel guess I ohh ya fifty credits, see we take bets on who our replacements are going to be, and we don't get allotta Outcast Pilots, its good to see ya man.

As he said this looking over, Ariel a cute Brunette playing cards was rubing her thumb to her finger tips, and had a Big grin on her face.

Sidewinder:yeah Ill give ya ur payment, later on to night, ohhh yeah....hehehe

He circled his hips around and thrusted a couple times, she laughed and gave him the Finger, Sidewinder sat down next to allan and began to point out all the flight members.

Sidewinder: Wll, thats Ariel, shes an outcast from Omicron Beta, and the Big black guy next to her, with the dreadlocks, yeah thats Bisep, his arms as thick as your waist, And the dude with the slicky sexy black hair, thats Rico, he flirts with every women he can. And the Kid with the blue spiky hair, thats Pyscho, he attacked a Liberty battleship in Texas, in a Dagger, and nearly won, he had a squadron of Defenders on him and he still almost won, that was until he ran out of armour and was forced to leave, and the pair over there reading magazines there the Meritocia Twins, there the son and daughter of a very wealthy plantation owners on Malta, and the pair doin there thing in the partially closed bunk there are JackKnife and Valkyrie, Hes a Corsair from Crete, who flew home patrols before coming here, and she's a GC from Kusari, who wanted to join the program and fight the Bounty hunters.

He paused a moment and looked over, " Don't worry bro, where all pretty laid back here, when where off duty we relax here, and for bein a kid of your age, being accepted into an Elite program you must be pretty good, don't worry allan we'll take care of ya. " Sidewinder smiled then allen spoke up.

Allan:I heard that theres some sort of code that where supposed to go by?

Sidewinder:Ohh yeah, the Boshido Code, yeah we fight by that code, though we have to bend the rules sometimes, but yeah thats the one you'll need to know, Lord Kasumoto, a leader of the blood dragons will come around and work on it with you, they say hes a Samurai, and that his family have been Samurai for thousands of years, but hey enough talk your probably pretty tired, get some sack time, just close the curtain on ur bunk its sound proof, we'll wake ya for dinner.

With that Allan stowed his bunk under neath hi bed closed the curtain and wen't to sleep.



Allan Woke up out of a peacefull slumber, drawing the curtain back he could tell everyone was a sleep, snoring from other bunks confirmed it, there was a big 50 inch TV in th corner and It looked like Ariel and Sidewinder where watching the news.

Allan walked over and sat down, sidewinder looked up noticed Allan and acknoledged his arrival, the two where talking quietly.

Sidewinder: Hey buddy how'd you sleep?

Allan rolled his neck around and heard his neck crack, " Alright I guess, Its been a ruff couple of days " he smiled noticing that they to where grinning.

Sidewinder: yeah it gets pretty bad after getting shot down, but theres nothing you can do about it, and the only person ya gotta worry about around here is Hellbound there.

He pointed to a shadowed corner, where he hadn't noticed before but a man was sitting there, he had a drink in his hand and a bottle on the table, he wasn't drinking just staring out the Large windows into space.

Sidewinder:He doesn't talk much, actually doesn't talk at all, at least to us , only person he talks to is Ariel here, who shot him down Out in Sigma-17....

She cut in as he was trying to finish the sentence...

Ariel:It was really nothing, I mean we shot at eachother for about an hour or so before i got in a lucky shot, and after I picked him up we both joined the excalibur and have been in the same squadron ever since.

The three resumed watching a GNN report about a Battle in Tau-31, between Kusari and Britonia, but Allan could help looking over every few minutes to get a look at Hellbound......
Hellbound looked down from the stars and caught Allan stealing a glance at him. He looked back at Allan with a frown, they had another rookie pilot. Another one he had to make sure came home alive.

Hellbound looked back out the large window for a few more seconds before standing quietly and walking over to Ariel. "Who's the rookie?" he whispered quietly to her.



OOC
Hey, Angel, I tried, OK?
/OOC
Areil just smiled, " Hes a pilot from Cali, from what i've heard hes not to shabby, hey just say Hi, its not every day we get another Outcast. Hellbound just chuffed then wen't to his bunk.

[attachmentid=626]You can play this on Repeat with a Media player for added Atmosphere......( Felt Creative).... ;)

When Allan walked on to the Main hanger in the morning, the air was charged with excitement, pilots where running from one place to another, mechanics buisly working on last minute adjustments.

One thing he noticed was tall the Pilots where wearing black bandannas around there heads, under there flight helmets, and they have Japanesse script written in Silver on them, they also carried a pair of swords, a small one almost like a knife and a larger looking katana.

Allan had no clue what to do noone had givein him any information, When he heard a Loud Voice from the Far end of the Hanger yell, " PILOTS ATTENTION ON DECK! ", everyone Rushed to a Side of the Hanger and snapped to attention, Not wanting to catch a repramand his first Day, Allan dashed to the end of the line closest to him and snapped to attention.

There was a Man walking down his Row, he was a older man, grey hair and chisled face, he was wearing Kusari Lord Armour, and a was adorned with Rows of medals and Ribbons, flanking him where to Blood Dragons, with there arms behind there back they kept there vision forward.

He stoped half way down the Row and Moved to the middle of the hanger, " Today, We are happy to accept Two New pilots to be joining our Ranks, First is Lt. Sounay Sakara, A new pilot from the GC who has pledged herself to War against the Bounty Hunters Guild, " as he said this, his voice was deep and krisp, and it echoed off the walls of hanger, A Young Girl stepped out of the Far line, her hair tied back and Clad in a Olive Drab Flight suit, the same as everyone else, she marched to the Center of the Hanger and nelt to one knee.

" The second " The man continued " Is First Lt. Allan Mcknight, From the Oucasts Of Cali, he two has pledged his service to War and has honored his brothers and sisters today " Fealing his face growing hot, He two Marched Forward, snapped left then Marched to the center, comeing up next to Sounay, he too Took a knee.

" As you both know, I was brought here to show all of you, the meaning of Honor, and servatuted, To think Of the community and others before yourselves, and as pirates I know thats a difficult concept, but each and every one of you have shown that time and again, And I will be expecting the same from the two of you, " he paused as one of the blood dragons handed him a set of swords, " These swords belong to honorable men, they where defenders of Kusari and the Shogun befor e the time of the emperor, and Know I pass them to you, may you honor there memories and follow the same paths they did.

He handed each a set of Wakazashi's and Katana's," Now, Ive heard about both of your pasts and thought of Fitting callsigns for you, Sounay, I know you are far from home and to be so young must be even more difficult, so We will Call you Farstar, so that all may know that you had overcome your fears and conquer the pain of distance " he handed her a black Bandana, she unfolded it and Tied it around her head, showing the writing to the front.

" And you, First Lt. Mcknight, I know of your great battles with the Britonians in the Tau systems, we will honor your combat prowes, and honor those who have fallen by your blade, You will be called Templar, In reckognishion of those deeds, now Rise and Be honored by your fellow pilots " As they stood, one of the Blood dragons yelled out something in japanesse, and the entire flight team, pilots, mechanics and all yelled in agreement, Then snapped to salute for there new Comrades.

The two returned to there places in Line," Now that cerimonys are complete, time to get down to buisness........."
The Flight Deck was Roaring, Titans, Blood dragons and sabers where powering up all over, there was a crackle in his helmet as Lord Katsumoto Came on the Radio.

" Ok, Gentlemen, This is the first Operation Against BountyHunter and Hessian Forces in the Area, Intel says there in final stages of construction on a base in the Northern cloud, Expect a Mix of Bounty Hunters and Red Hessian's Guarding the base, Expect Strong Point Defense Turrets and Auto Targeting Cannons on the Station, Dragons are going to Run Recon, Saber Flights will deal with an Fighter defenses that are there, Titans, Youse Starkillers to take down the Station and its defense grid "

All was confused, why where the Bounty Hunters guild and Hessians working together? He Piped in to Sidewinder, " Hey Side, whats the deal, why are the Huntys and Hessians working together? " Sidewinder chuckled, " You mean they didn't tell you? ", Allan looked puzzled " Told me what? "

" Well, just after the Nomad War, the Bounty hunters Guild had the Idea that If they could control the Curve of Technology, they could basically control the houses, So there R&D Department in Shikoku, Started Studying Nomad Weapons, combing them With the Strongest human weapons available, And Labeled them " CODENAME " projects, Like Project DIAMONDBACK, and Project JADE, Gun so strong that not even Ace Corsair and Outcasts could match them, and since they are allowed to operate freely in Every corner of the houses, there Influence Grew. " He paused for a moment.

" And now there Spys have infiltrated Key Pirate groups as well, The Hessians, Liberty Rougues, The Alliance and Hogosha in Kusari and the Mollys in Britonia, We believe there in league with the Xenos and Gian's as well, Thats whey the Excalibur was Made, To see if there was any way to even out the Technological Edge, And Now Rumor has it that Phantoms have been seen Making Deals with Bounty Hunters, sure on the surface they still shoot at each other, but behind the scenes, Phantoms are training Elite pilots and Sharing Rare Technology, Where do you think the Gattling Cannons the Bounty hunters use came from, there nock off's of Phantom ChainGun Technology "

" And to most of us, we know that Phantoms arn't going to play nice with humans, so our guess is that the Phantoms are puppet masters in this play, only problem is there to damn sneaky that we can never catch them in the act, Hold on Man, where about to Launch, get Ready......."
" This is Sierra 1 to Sierra squadron, where now Approaching the Target area, Engage Cloak and proceed to your designated targets ", the wing commander pipped, and a few moments later, Ring of purple Energy started to surround the Squadrons ships, and Soon they where gone.

" Hey Kid, Hit the Green button with a X on it " Sidwinder said over the Radio, he did, and the Same rings of energy surround his ship for a moment, then they disapeared, puzzled looking around...

" Sidewinder, how am I supposed to say with you guys I cant see any of you? " there was a pause, then He spoke up, " On your HUD screen switch to Infaread mode, When he did his goggles Enveloped in a screen of Red, Then looking around saw the heat Trails of the squadrons engines.

" Just follow the lead disturbance Kid, and when he tells you to disingage it, just punch that button again, we should be entering the Stations Radar Range soon."

As He said this a Huge Verticanl Thermal Wave moved over there ships from left to Right, " Ahh theres the Radar, seems the Phantoms have upgraded it. " Sidewinder said as they closed.

" Now passing there first Fighter defense Line " came a sturn voice over the intercom, as he looked side to side there where patrols of Bounty hunters and Hessian Fighters.

" Sir, this is Sierra 5, Ive got an Additional Battleship on the Scanner, I.D Puts It a Battlestar class battleship, Its providing Close protection to the station. "

There was apause, then the Wing leader spoke," Alright where gonna have to change plans, Where going to have to split our barrage between the two, Sierra two through five will fire on the station, six through twelve will Attack the battlestar, Arms Torpedoes, where almost there........"

As he Armed a Nova Torpedo he say the Battlestar and station get illuminated by a Static Electricity charge in the cloud, The battleship dwarfed the station, this was going to be one hell of a opening mission.....
