[@Hokum][@CmdrAlfieq] and [@Metatrooper]? Not sure if I need to @ you, but I will to be safe. [b]As Ernest[/b] "Yes, I heard the distress signal. Not much I can do about it, though. You can search all you want, though. I'll communicate with the MASGC.... or whatever that achronim is." Ernest opens the communication. "This is The Ernest, we have landed near your base, and will be docking in your station. I'd recommend you have a dock ready for us." Terminal: [quote] TELEPORT SUCCESSFUL. LOCATION OF DISTRESS SIGNAL CAN NOT BE CONFIRMED. WAITING FOR USER FANNY MAY TO SCAN FOR DISRESS SIGNAL.... [/quote] [hr] [@Hokum] [b]As Rodia[/b] Rorod responds to the Forte: "Wait, let me get this straight, you want to just waltz in here, kidnap our leader, and enslave us? And you think we are going to be fine with that?! No way, 'Forte'! We won't be enslaved so easily!" Rorod turned to Lars, about to order that they assemble what they have of an army, when suddenly, another com opens up. [b]As Ramrod and Rodia[/b] Ramrod chimes in "Mraoh! Mraoh Mraoh mraoh!" (Wait! Don't attack yet!) Rorod: "Ramrod?! Is that you?! Are- Are you safe?" Ramrod: "Mraoh, Mraoh mraoh mraoh [i]Mraoh[/i]." (Yes, for now. But these alien things can apparently speak [i]Mraoh[/i]." Rorod: "Really?! How is that possible? Even I can't speak Mraoh, and I was built to translate it!" Ramrod: "Mroah mraoh... mraoh mraoh mraoh!" (Beats me... but I think they are threatening to destroy you if you don't surredner!) Rorod: "No way! I won't let them enslave us, or destroy us!" With that, Rorod cuts the communication [hr] [b]As Rodia:[/b] Rorod gives the command to start getting ready for battle. "We will not be enslaved! Even if they destroy us, we won't go down without a fight." Nerves R-Cores get ready for combat. The R-Core may not have a very large army propper, but most every ship is armed to some extent. Some Soldiers hope into large, sphere-shaped gunships that they refuse to as "Rodian Armoured Gunships", which are the backbone of the Rodia's army. Less trained Militia are getting their private vehicles ready for combat. At this point, the R-Core have basically declared war. [b]As Ramrod[/b] Ramrod is kinda angry. But then he realizes something. His captors (which, unlike Roida, he doesn't know the name of) said they would basically enslave the R-Core, and then threatened to destroy them. "Mraoh mraoh, mraoh?" (wait, you people want to use the R-Core as your workforce, right?) Ramrod asked, "Mraoh mra-oh mraoh?" (So why would you threaten to destroy your workforce?" Ramrod's tone is angry, but genuine. While he is suspicious, he is not asking a metaphorical question. He is, however, trying to climb up the side of his cell, trying to get a closer look and the screen.
