"[b]Nathaniel grumbled to himself, the guard had been shut down. What could he do now?
He called upon one the captain that lead the Reliant Cruiser when the guard was around
From the planet, rose a ship. Bearing the sigil of the Republic and the Dojo, the ship launched off towards the one in Dead space [/b]
English
-
The ship is large and blocky, similar to the UNSC ship designs, but different. It's impossible to tell what it's weaponry consists of.
-
"We are friends, do not engage." [b]This message kept going towards the ship, hopefully being heard as the Republic Cruiser arrived at their destination [/b]
-
The ship makes no response. As they approach, they can clearly see it's been damaged. Massive hull breaches and severe burns across the outside. It looks almost as though a pair of massive claws had ripped through it.
-
[b]Two gunships launched off from the cruiser, moving towards the hull breaches [/b]
-
As they approach, they notice the letters UCE and [i]Defiance [/i]painted on the hull.
-
[b]The gunships entered through one of the ripped openings in the hull[/b]
-
There isn't much space, it's mostly small corridors, far too small for the gunship to move more than a few meters in either direction. It looks like the atmosphere has vented from most of the ship.
-
[b]The first ship landed in the corridor, and the gunships doors opened. Nine dojo guards were in the ship, and they slowly exited the room with their magnetic boots keeping them on the ground. Their suits kept their oxygen levels alive [/b]
-
A corpse floats by, obviously human, but missing it's lower half. It's armor is extremely high tech looking. It sports the logo UCE on it's shoulder.
-
[b]The troops move through the hallway, scanning for any signs of life [/b]
-
They don't seem to find any, though there are many signs of a fierce struggle. Bodies and bullet casings are scattered across the ship, strange burns and clawmarks cover the walls. They finally find a locked blast door, there appears to be atmosphere on the other side.
-
"Let's try to clear this hallway. Get it safe." [b]The group split up, heading to any potential ways of cutting off the hallway from the space. One of the men found a keypad along a wall, wired to a doorway and began hacking into it, until he found what he needed and the doors closed, making the hallway safe [/b]
-
The doors open, revealing a pitch black room. A horrendous smell meets their noses through the masks.
-
"Hello?! Anyone in here?" [b]They take cover outside, on the sides of the doorway into what they hope to be the bridge [/b]
-
There are bodies and pieces of bodies everywhere. It looks like a last stand was made in this hallway. There don't seem to be any none UCE bodies.
-
"Shit. [b]The men moved forward, weapons raised and flashlights on [/b]
-
They arrive at the bridge. It's veen ransacked. Suddenly, a voice is heard. "Freeze! Hands where I can see them!"
-
[b]The men create a circle, flashlights pointed in each direction to light up the room [/b] "Identify yourself and we will!"
-
A man steps out from behind a consul, he wields a handgun, which is pointed at the guards. "Commander Alex Riles of the UCS [i]Defiance[/i], who are you?"
-
"Corporal Talon. EX Soldier of the dojo."
-
"Dojo? We... We made it to Tatakai?" He asks, lowering his pistol.
-
"Yeah you did." [b]The guards lowered their guns, fanning out through the bridge [/b]
-
The man seems to mutter a quiet prayer and crosses himself. "Thank goodness. Did any other ships like mine arrive?"
-
"No none have arrived. Just yours."
-
The man scowls. "So I'm the last one." He holsters his pistol.
