The Return - stewcool - 06-03-2008
Location: Rhienland Space
Coordinates: 12 Clicks out of Planet New Berlin
Ship Class: Tenabras Class Battleship
Ship/Fleet Rank/Name: 122nd Order Guard Flagship, Tenabras
Scene: On the Bridge of Tenabras
*Travis Elation's Voice*
"Keep her in the shadows. We don't need any guests."
Tenabras has stationed itself in the shadow of New Berlin for several days now.
Awaiting news from the crew that landed earlier in the week.
The mission was, and still is, simple.
Have a simple vacation while doing a side mission of sending supplies to
pending pilot waiting to join the Rhienland Military.
*Stephanie's voice, 2nd in command.*
"Were setting all drives to idle sir. Tenabras is now in the dark."
The large battleship which still looked like a modified Osiris.
Was now idling. The only things active were its strong shield, hazard
lights, and normal lights. Plus any normal luxury inside the ship.
Even though she was somewhat large. Hiding in the shadow of
Planet New Berlin made her almost impossible to see.
*Stephanie speaks again*
"Ship's hull temperature 29 degrees Fahrenheit."
The shield was ment to block fire from enemy ships not to block
the frigid temperatures of New Berlin and its surrounding space.
The crew on-board were all wearing heavy coats.
That were used to keep them from freezing.
Stephanie managed to design the coat in her free time.
She called the jackets simply Tenabras' Designer Coats.
Each coat tailored to the crew member wearing it. With
each having its own personnel touch.
Travis' coat was decorative. The coat went down
to his ankles. His coat was filled with medals and awards on the
right side. Left side only having a patch that read his last name
"Elation." His coat was fully buttoned up from the waist up.
All black, like a normal order outfit, with a white trim.
The trim was to add a bit of peace in the outfit.
Normally people would call them trench coats.
But Stephanie didn't see why "trench" was needed. All the coats
had a slit up the middle in between the legs. To make it easier to walk.
Stephanie and Travis were both standing up on the deck in the bridge.
The deck is where the highest or two highest in command stand and
give orders. Surrounding the deck, except behind it which was a large
screen of the battlefield, were crew members at there stations.
Taping away at the touch pads and screens. Making sure the ship
stays in full working order.
The Bridge smelled like coffee. Since it was, least they think, still
early morning and the crew just woke up less then an hour ago.
The only thing the crew was waiting for now was the comm for the
ship to come up and a chefs voice saying "Breakfast is ready!"
There breakfast would appear through a small compartment at each
station. Making it faster to deliver the food and to finish it.
*Ship Comm*
Female Voice
"BREAKFAST IS READY!"
*Buzzing sound*
Compartments open as a plate of food appears.
"Todays breakfast. L. Bacon, with Bretonian Toast and eggs.
All cooked to your special likings."
Each crew member was asked during becoming part of the crew
How they wanted there food cooked. It was a long list of questions
but in the end the crew was always happy with there food.
As the crew ate there breakfast. Travis would always eat last. In
case there was an emergency. Though today was different.
Stephanie made sure he ate with the crew.
Even if the ship was spotted it would take awhile for a fleet
strong enough to form to take her out.
*10 Minutes Later*
The final crew members were done eating. Most of them loved
meal time. It was a time when everyone can just chat and not
worry about orders. Rarely has Travis stopped a meal time.
*Travis*
"What's her, referring to the ship, status."
*Stephanie*
"All systems green, all tests complete, she is good sir."
*Travis nodded with a smile*
"Good to hear. Everyone relax for awhile. Not much we can do
until the news from New Berlin arrives."

The Return - stewcool - 06-04-2008
Scene: Same location but a few hours later.
Tenabras and her crew spent another 4 hours of waiting.
Still no news on Planet New Berlin. Any minute now
they should get a message of them getting ambushed
or them arriving at the intended destination.
*Red lights inside Tenabras start to flash*
*Amy's Voice over comm, defense grid commander.*
"Sir we have multiple ships getting in pretty close to
the 5 click boundary around the ship."
Travis taps a screen in front of him to get video
comm with Amy.
"Dont open fire unless they shoot first. Information
shows there only fighters. Lets hope the just pass over us."
Waiting for a brief moment the fighters got within 1 click
from Tenabras. Very close. Though not one stopped
or did anything hostile.
*Amy*
"Fighters are gaining distance. We're still in the clear."
*Travis*
"Roger that go back to yellow alert."
The lights go throughout the ship return to normal state.
*Stephanie*
"Sir we just got a comm signal from the crew on New Berlin."
*Travis*
"What's it say."
*Stephanie*
"Nothing....its a comm beacon. The emergency beacon."
The beacon was only ment to be activated if one or more
crew members not with the ship are either injured or
not alive.
*Travis*
"Prepare Able Search Team. Make sure they are well
prepared to land on New Berlin's dark side."
Stephanie taps her screen.
"This is Vice Admiral Stephanie. Calling Commander Alyssa."
"This is Commander Alyssa go ahead."
Alyssa was in charge of everything on the launch deck.
She was somewhat vertically challenged compared to most
people but no one took that as a disadvantage. Her
long brunette hair and light green eyes. With an hour
glass figure made her one of the most eye catching
Commanders in the 122nd.
"Commander Alyssa prep Able Search Team, destination
New Berlin. Dark side. Coordinates 1046 -202, 500 -110"
"Roger that Steph!"
Alyssa, in the main launch hanger, started calling out orders.
The hanger suddenly came to life with pilots and crew
running all over preparing for launch.
*Alyssa*
"All hands that aren't in safe suits clear the hanger!"
The safe suits are what are used to keep people alive when
the hanger doors open. It provides somewhat of a personal
shield.
"Open hanger bay doors!"
2 Large doors open outward under Tenabras. As 5 ships
exit the ship. 2 Fighters, 2 Transport/Rescue ships, and
1 recon fighter.
"Alyssa to Stephanie. All ships are in route to given coords."
*Stephanie*
"Roger that Alyssa good work."
Even with Order Technology the crew will have to wait
1 hour before any information on Able is recieved.
Finding another crew on such a large planet is very dificult.
The Return - stewcool - 08-04-2008
//Sorry to my readers for the delay.
Scene: Able Team on New Berlin
"This is able team leader Caitlyn.
Logging all information about our route and location of emergency beacon."
Caitlyn was one of many leaders in the Tenabras fleet that knew how to get
things done. Her team always looked up to her for guidance.
"Keep in formation guys. We don't know much about this planet."
The Able group flew directly to the emergency beacon. Where they found
a group of crew members part of the Tenabras all standing together in a circle.
Able team found a place to land and got out of there ships.
Caitlyn, in the lead, ran up to the group of people in the circle.
"Im Able Team Leader Caitlyn we got your beacon. What's wrong?"
*The person she talks to salutes and replies.
"Names Skye, I'm part of the main supply team, we sent the beacon.
cause the Rhienland Pilot we were delivering these supplies to was injured."
Caitlyn nods.
*Caitlyn*
"Well Skye where is this pilot?"
*Skye*
"In the supply ship. Just a minor injury she should be fine now."
*Caitlyn*
"I got my whole team up and out on this stupid cold planet for a minor
injury?!"
*Skye*
"Sorry to say but yes."
Caitlyn sighs.
Its been well over an hour since they landed on the planet. No one
even reported anything back to the flagship.
*Caitlyn*
"Well if the pilots okay this mission is a success."
Skye nods.
"Your correct."
Pilot comes out of the supply ship.
"Hello, I am Pilot Alina Ashford of the Rhienland Military.
You must be the supply teams that Travis told me about."
*Caitlyn*
"Yes, seems your doing fine seeing as how I see no injury."
*Alina*
"Oh yes, it was just a flesh wound nothing to severe."
Caitlyn points at some crates.
"Those are the supplies from Tenabras. I'm sure they will
be of much use to you."
Alina nods.
"Yes thank you very much. I believe Travis is expecting you
guys back any time now?"
*Caitlyn*
"Indeed he is. Supply and Able time to head home."
*Alina*
"Tell Travis I said thank you. I owe him one."
Caitlyn nods and then walks away with the rest of the crew.
-Half hour later.
"This is Able Team Leader Caitlyn to the Tenabras. Mission
is a success. I bring back the supply team with us unharmed."
*Travis*
"Roger that. Good to hear. Land when ready and meet in the
debriefing room with both teams ASAP. I think we over
stayed our welcome here in Rhienland."
All the ships land and both teams walk down the long halls
of Tenabras to the debriefing room where Travis waits.
They all enter the room and sit around a large table.
With monitors at each seat. Travis immediately gets right to it.
*Travis*
"So why was the emergency beacon activated?"
*Supply team leader*
"The Rhienland pilot had an injury which we treated."
*Travis*
"So sending out Able Team was not necessary?"
*Supply Team Leader*
"No sir it was not."
*Travis*
"Please, dont use the beacon unless its your team that
is in need of emergency medical aid."
*Supply Team Leader*
"Sorry sir won't happen again."
*Travis*
"Good. So, Caitlyn I take it finding them with the new ships
was no problem?"
*Caitlyn*
"It was cake the new navigation system in these ships is
just amazing. Order Technology really did a good job."
*Travis*
"Good to hear. Anything else before we end this debrief."
No one answers.
*Travis*
"Good alright all you get some sleep. Were gonna go
to my favorite place tomorrow."
