Joseph never thanked you for allowing me the chance to injury his arm. :p

[Lady Seraphina]

Halion's a dangerous minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. I have a distinctive feeling that one of them will be dead by the end of this but we can talk about that later.

[Sep]

Will be putting an interest check up later/tomorrow. Also going to allow a possible 3 more Alliance chars.

Appearance:

Role:Spy-Team Leader-Infiltrator
Nationality:Krylurian
Biography:Kryluria, the planet in which Deyika and Tonak come from consists of two major nations. Each of these continents reached a level of technology equal to that of 1930s Earth, and like on Earth a war was brewing between each of the four nations. The activation of the Stargate in 2004 helped to arise old philosophical debates, the first continent largely followed the idea that their gods the Ancestors hid them from a great evil and deserved to rule over as the one true belief. The second felt that their singular god, Hades, had been the driving force in that same event but out of jealousy, the Ancestors casted him from rightful place as the sole true ruler over them all. Naturally, the conflict in religion had caused clashes among the two nations that pulled them apart in endless war.
The war had become more of a cold war in 2004 when the Stargate was activated. Of course the nation which worshiped Hades was told of the Goa’uld and they turned to have a sour relationship towards the Tauri while those who worshiped the Ancestors reveled in the opportunity to meet the direct descendents of the Ancestors. Tonak and Deyika are from the nation that worshiped Hades and as such became naturally sour towards the Tauri. However the Tauri managed to settle disputes between the two nations, to some degree. As such the Stargate was placed on Neutral ground so that its discovery could be a benefit to both people. Due to noticing their possible destructive influence the people of the Tauri announced they would not return to the planet, which only created contempt from the nation that worshiped the Ancestors believing they had been tricked into revealing what little information they had on Ancient ruins.
Since the Tauri’s departure and their patchwork peace negotiations, the two nations’ tensions had been building yet again over the collective years.Both twins were born to deep worshipers of Hades and likewise, expected their children to follow the same path. Their tactics in ensuring were rather aggressive, often leaving bruises and marks to punctuate their points. It wasn’t a surprise both Tonak and Deyika grew to hate their parents. When their thirteenth birthday rolled around, Tonak was already fully capable of using his knife and was that day their parents had went too far. Deyika had forgotten the prayer words during dinner and in moments her father slammed her arm across the table’s edge causing the bone to crack. Their parents never made it to the next morning alive, Tonak made sure of that.

Once the bodies had been buried, leaving nothing but a memory, the pair ended up looking after each other. Each one had played to their own talents and managed to survive in their own little ways, supported by their loyalty and family bond. Deyika had learned the ins and outs of various technology which added to the coin her brother’s own ventures had purloined as a street smart pick pocket. Though they had little, their combined efforts ensured neither of them went to sleep completely hungry.

It was Deyika’s talent at fixing machines that ended up setting them on another path from eternal poverty and slow starvation. A military recruiter visited their crumbling hut to draft one of them into the Hades defense unit, but Tonak was determined not let his sister go alone. An offer was made: she doesn’t go anywhere without him. The man just scoffed at the teen’s stubborn and cocky attitude, even as his twin agreed, then tried to reason he had no skills of any worth. Tonak merely held fast to his words when the man finally turned to leave, his figure all the way to his jeep when it dawn upon him something was missing. His key jingled within Tonak’s fingers with a slight cocky grin. “No skills huh?”
The recruiter had to admit defeat in his earlier statement and gently took the pair into the jeep where each developed their skills. Tonak’s talent for stealth, ability to learn quickly and being a cold blooded killer were honed with training. It turned out he had an aptitude for gathering intelligence and blending well into enemy territory. Deyika’s skills took a far right turned on the other hand. Her skills laid in technology sabotage and engineering, including hacking and mechanics. Unlike her brother, she only could learn the basics of how to handle knife but nothing close to Tonak’s skill level, despite some of his efforts to teach her.
Everything seemed to have been going well until war broke out and Tonak discovered a ploy to send his twin into live combat, an operation to sabotage a truck full of explosive bombs. It was a suicide mission from his point of view and all the more reason to leave. For once, Deyika had voiced her own concerns against her brother’s plan. Unlike him, she didn’t want to lose their home and those they cared about. It wasn’t until Tonak suggested to use the Stargate and ask the Tauri for aid in stopping this war’s break out, did Deyika agree and follow him through.
The only reason Tonak even mentioned getting help was he knew it was the only way he would get Deyika to leave the planet if there was any chance of getting help. For as far as he was concerned they could fight until they had all killed each other she was his one and only concern. Upon arriving at the Tauri they began talks with one of the local diplomats after being debriefed by the General of the facility. He assured them that he would look into the prospect of helping them out and in the meantime they would be granted asylum. It looked as if their problems would be solved.
However higher up in the Pentagon it was decided that they would not risk human lives on this conflict that had nothing to do with them, especially when there was little to no gain. Feeling sour, and after Deyika had to stop Tonak from killing someone the pair left out into the Galaxy to try and find someone who would help them. It felt like ages before they found someone, each village, planet and more they came to seemed to be one dead end after another for the pair. Finally they met..him. A man, a small time warlord under the Lucian Alliance’s flag, who listened to their story and request. His words seemed to utter hope and reason that her brother seemed slightly impressed by them. Little did she know until Tokan said it that he also saw the slight bull shit within them. Deyika thought he went insane and in moments they were going to be killed, at least until she heard the warlord laughing at Tokan’s guts. She softened to see a less fake smile upon her brother’s lips.

After Kane offered his aid, they took it and showed him where to find Kryluria.That’s when subjugation started, Kane threatening the Krylurians with his own small fleet of Al'kesh and Gliders. It was over before it had started leaving both sides underneath the warlord’s power. At first when she saw the treatment of those under Kane’s rule, Deyika had mixed feelings upon what they did.Wasn’t until her brother explained it was for the best, to stop the fighting from happening and find common ground in suffering. Deyika accepted it was the only possible way because her brother made sense. Unable to stay there, Tonak approached Kane in terms for a ship, but instead came away with employment much to his twin’s surprise. For the next several years they worked towards Kane’s goals to expand his power and grow his empire, During that time, their skills grew until they became important assets and one of the few he trusted to get a job done. Over time their toys and tools ended up growing into a wide array that often made their task easier. And for their current mission, both Tonak and Deyika had a feeling they would need all the aid they could managed to complete it.

Personality:Obedient/Inventful/Bit of an Idealist/Willing to do what needs to be done
Trivia:Tonak is a name I basically pulled out of my ass.

What in the name of Hel herself was that name doing in your ass, Sep?

We threw in a nice and short post (barely above a page) now, detailing a bit on Ylva's operation and her journey (short as it was) to the Catherine Langford.

The operation was taking down an up-and-coming warlord or somesuch in Africa. Exactly why she was responsible for that is unknown and (so far as we know irrelevant), but still felt right to mention it. Her tool for the operation was a strain of the Ebola Virus, one of the pathogens she often utilizes more than others. As there already was an outbreak there, concealing the second, willful deployment became even easier. As is obvious, she couldn't care less about collateral damage from its deployment.

The idea with the mentioned Asgard Beam satellites is that Homeworld command or the IOA have constructed (or are constructing) a small network of linked satellites in high Earth orbit equipped with Asgard beaming arrays and massive buffers so that they can move people from one place on earth to nearly any other. Most personnel will require a portable transmitter to signal the network, kinda like they used in SG-1 before they got the transmitter implants and Asgard sensors. It would naturally have to be organized somehow, perhaps with a transmitter "signature" to make sure right person is beamed to the right place.
That system will naturally not be anywhere close to widespread deployment or use, perhaps not even complete. But it removes the need for a 304 to be in orbit at all times to move personnel.

Elliri, this is why nobody trusts Ylva

[Ellri]

there's not many that even have any idea of this about her. these sort of acts are why she's got secret records. or as someone put it, not sure where:

"Its kind of a gray area."
"What color of gray?"
"Charcoal"

WELL. Now that she hathe arrived as the Strike Team Squad leader perhaps you would want to make sure she was briefed for the upcoming missiony.

Hah!

I sure will! Lemme just make the post about me moving to greet her. Except even I don't have details on it right now. Do I just tell her where it is and what we want to do?

[Sep]

Just read the briefing post as your char was there and basically fill her in on that.

[Forsythe]

You might wanna wait for the 302 rec on data, then you'll at least have an idea where the gate/ancient facility/local village are. then you can inform the whole tam instead of individuals.

Thats better. And oh. Ha'tak. Jamming.

Well, Deicide was really a good name.

[Sep]

Also prince that was my last action controlling the planet folk. They're all yours for the rest of the Episode now.

Have fun.

Don't know what to do Ground Team? Go bond with your team mates.

[Lady Seraphina]

You mean Al'kesh and gliders right?

[Sep]

Prince of Seraphs said
You mean Al'kesh and gliders right?

Me said
"It appears that there are five Al'kesh and six squadrons of Gliders

I fail to see the confusion. I was merely saying that I brought the gliders and Al'kesh in, if talks ensue or w/e happens it is up to you two now. They're technically all your NPCs.

[Lady Seraphina]

No you were just a litle vague with the words last action, I was just clarifying,

[Queen Raidne]

Yay, I posted! :)

[Ellri]

Anyone want to collab something out?
