In the midst of a small planetary system, uninhabitable by most beings, a small asteroid belt circled its center of orbit, a red giant. The giant was close enough that the radiation it excreted would be deadly to anyone on the asteroid field... if you didnt have proper radiation shielding. In a small, hollowed out ship-asteroid, teleported the Pirate Queen in Rags, Lady Corvis along with Jarrik, her friend and fellow pirate lord.

She teleported them into the command centre and proceeded to produce a bottle of rum out of thin air, only to hurl it into the wall in frustration. As the bottle shattered and the brown liquid made its way down the steel walls, she sat in her command chair and staired at the galaxy map silently. On the map, the Talar belt's bleeping blue signal turned red and died.

"Dammit." She murmured/

Jarrek simply stood in silence, his eyes transfixed to the wall just as they'd been when he was gazing out at the battle for several seconds, before he turned towards the terminal and input a few commands to it. The remainder of the Wolf Pack Pirates((and before anyone says anything, the Wolf Pack never sent out all of their ships or members, they'd have still left enough to keep the group itself alive if they needed to run. I said they sent out ships, never said all of them)) were able to teleport from what was left of the main base to just outside this asteroid, with their radiation shielding online, horribly damaged by the strike as they were. It would do to protect them, however. Jarrek simply went to a wall himself, and looked down into his hands. "Our...Home...That was the last place that the Wolf Pack...The remnants of my species...ever had for a home. Hundreds of thousands of years...And then, some empire we've never even attacked were the ones who mindlessly slaughtered us, never even asked for a parlay or made any demands..." He looked around the base, seeing Will come in as well.
"Damnit, Rychart...You'd better not die...I cannot...WILL NOT...Lose any more of my friends this day..."

Corvis's eyes flicked towards him as she stood, eyes blazing with anger, with passion, with hate. She slowly took steps towards Jarrik, and placed a hand on his shoulder, her eyes softening slightly as she cast them downwards. "Let the your members abourd, they'll need good beds, food and drink tonight, Jarrik." She said softly, shaking her head. "But Jarrik, we will survive, if you know me and if I know you... we're tough old bastards." She says, letting the hint of a smile grace her face.
"We just need to... to regroup and find out who did this... and find some way to get back at them..." She said, ignoring Atlas briefly. 'Will... We had those! We had defenses! We had ships! Adding more people to the slaughter would just have meant more friend's lost in the next round!" She sighed. "But maybe we do need help..."

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #3 on:** January 26, 2012, 06:50:38 PM »

Jarrek nodded, and gave the order for the ships to enter the docks, and to offload their crew. He stayed silent for a moment, before responding with,"Atlas is right, we will need help. Im doubtful that many of the other pirate bands that did not already join us will lend aid, but Im sure there are a few who will, maybe. There has to be. But...For now, we must wait for our last allies, the Zealots, and even after they come back, we must give all of us time to rest our weary souls after that battle, to mourn our lost. But...I have before been in a situation where my people were reduced to a fraction of their former size. We rebuilt, we remade..." And at this, his expression turned darker than it was,"...We ripped the aggressors to shreds. And I've not just my loyal crew with me, this time. Talar was my home, my people's haven, which we shared with our allies, and I WILL see it returned to us. And I will also see those who did this to us beg for mercy...Just as the first aggressors did." He turned to leave, in order to tend to his crew, and see how they were doing. But before he left the room, he said,"Corvis, Atlas...Thank you for your kindness. There must be survivors of your crew, somewhere, who escaped. Find them all on the command console. Now, more than ever, they will need your guidance."

Corvis bit the inside of her cheek and nodded, turning away and putting her attention to the command console, tapping in several commands until eighteen blue blips appeared, blinking and scattered. "Well, there is some good news... At least a few are alive..." She says, keying in the command for them to return to the base before turning around. "Jarrek..." She begins, following him. "The Talar belt is... well, the astronomical charts say that its almost completely destroyed..." She mutters, showing him the blips.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #5 on:** January 26, 2012, 07:52:44 PM »

"Be that as it may, Talar sheltered my people when they had nowhere else to go. To simply abandon it to the people who ravaged it for...I dont even know why. I cannot allow that to remain the current state of Talar, occupied by these invaders. Even if its space will serve as nothing more than a grave marker, a memorial to those lost...It is something that I must do, my duty to carry out." He said to her, still walking. "When Rychart and his Zealots make it here...Let me know, would you?"
To Atlas, he said simply,"If there are any strings attached, I would know of them before any decision would be made."

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #6 on:** January 26, 2012, 07:58:22 PM »

Corvis bit back her muttered thoughts If they get back that is... And simply nodded. "Can do." She said, rubbing her arm and walking back over to the command console, sending out remote signals to the Zealots to see if they were still alive.

Will would consider the words he would speak carefully. There was only one string Lucien would attach and Will knew the pirates would not like that. "Well, there is likely only one string. Lucien would demand that he be allowed to help crush these enemies. Probably for some personal reason or something maybe just to help us out. Or he might demand being our only supplier for a few months or something. Not sure what he would put on there as strings, since it has been eight years. Will then prepared to dial Lucien's number and see if he would help.

OOC: Quick thing Hawkeye, from what I read you teleported back to Talar. So...

Will had brought to their escape, a menace. Burning at his clothes themselves, Will brought Bio-Fire to this place, it exploded into a fury with a lfie of its own as it burned the floor into a fire unto itself. A raging inferno would be burning like a panther laying in wait in just a few moments.

In a puff of purple smoke, Rychart appeared in a torn up uniform with some burn marks on it... His hair was a mess, and he. Looked. Pissed. "Miss me?"

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #10 on:** January 26, 2012, 09:11:07 PM »

"Er, Jarrek..." Corvis called. "Rychart made it." She called through the commlinks. "And he looks like he's ready to rip the bulkheads off."

OOC:This is stalled/Nulled until/unless Hawk's character actually does get to teleporting here IC(while, of course, still on Fire). If he ends up not actually getting here, then it'll require a bit of a rewrite for the topic, but either way.

Jarrek breathed a sigh of relief, and headed back to them. "Yes, friend, we did. Im glad to see your safe, if not well."

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #12 on:** January 27, 2012, 03:31:29 PM »

OOC: So,Hawk never came back... Act like it never happened? Sure.

"We may not be safe for much longer with all the ships coming here." Corvis pointed out grimly. "We should find another base, this is only equipped for minimal comfort and defense... Its mostly a command location."

Rychart stoop silent. His eyes were set on the nearest Lord, Lady Corvis. He took about 2 steps forward, and finally cringed in pain as he collapsed, revealing a large piece of metal stuck in his upper back. When the clubbed jumped in the station, it tore apart a lot of the control room.

Blood was pouring out of his wound as he tried to speak, but failed.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #14 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:24:57 PM »

Jarret's heart sunk, and his face held terror. "RYCHART!" He yelled, before looking around the area for a medical kit. While he was looking, he pressed the station Intercom, yelling through it,"WOLF PACK, FIND A MEDIC, GET THEM TO THE COMMAND ROOM! RYCHART IS HURT!" He then went back to looking, asking Corvus,"Where is the med-bay on this station!?"

Capxeno · « **Reply #15 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:29:54 PM »

The large piece of metal out of Rycharts back had brought something dangerous to this station. A small amount of Holy Bio-Fire burned away at it, as it made Holy Metal Fire. It was spreading and would engulf Rychart and anyone near him quickly. Left unchecked the Holy Bio-Fire would just with purpose onto anyone living in the room.

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #16 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:31:42 PM »

OOC: Okay, come on, Cap, thats just cheap. Seriously? How the hell does that even transfer like that?!

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #17 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:32:05 PM »

Ooc- no the fire was only in the hamgar which was jumped away with the clubbed. So bullshit on that.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #18 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:33:41 PM »

As the hostile magic was detected, a AM field was immediately activated, de-converting all magic in the fire and turning it back into a normal, easily put out fire.

OOC:Assuming, of course, the Fire ends up having traveled here at all, the above happens.

Capxeno · « **Reply #19 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:35:53 PM »

OOC: No it was place everywhere in the hangar, it would have spread to the Clubbed and would have been inside it anyway. Just deal with the fire, again I do not care if it kills anyone or not, but I am not going to fully RP out the spell with just Hawk, that would be unfair to him. Just be smarter. But if your solution doesn't work... it doesn't work. Oh, and Red... its encapsulate with spirit energy.

The Fire was encapsulated with spirit energy, the AM field did not stop the fire as it continued to burn away at the metal.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #20 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:38:16 PM »

OOC:This was never posted, and as far as I know, your character does not know this method; its not a innate phoenix ability. Hik herself has said that only a few specific characters have this, who were taught by IC!Hilary.

Beware Ye Who Enter Here · « **Reply #21 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:38:59 PM »

OOC: THat and the fact that when I tried a similar method without spirit energy she brought down the site...

Admiral Regis Hermitage · « **Reply #22 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:40:05 PM »

Ooc- and also, you said Hangar. Unless that shit can burn through the entire station faster then the speed of lighr, then it wouldn't have reached the control room.

Capxeno · « **Reply #23 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:46:56 PM »

Whole hangar, and SliphxKurai is canon. She told him over the past 8 years, already talked it over with Hik. Also, its a web of Holy Bio-Fire, meaning anything in the hangar would have been hit by it. And I did post that it was encapsulated.

@Pokemon Master Red · « **Reply #24 on:** January 27, 2012, 04:52:40 PM »

OOC:Hm, hadn't seen that. However, the Clubbed to Death is a capital/super capital-class ship. L-Rage's point is still valid, since you DID say it was within the hanger, not the ship itself. It would need to burn insanely fast to have gotten to the control room within the ship before when L-Rage had fled.
