Dragged Into the Darkness [Leysos & Damiann47]

It really doesn't matter, especially because it shouldn't connect with anything else, unless for some reason we would want to, suppose alternate universe would have the least impact. Anyway this is just and idea, we obviously don't have to do this. @Leysos

@Leysos Mentioning just in case.

The thing is I'm still able to write in general, but when it comes to the RP I just have nothing. Also I still want to continue working with you, meaning you're absolutely not the problem. So I have an idea, we write these small "side episodes" using Jeremy and Rena, nothing major or even matters at all for the plot, just ways to get them in fresh situations.

In fact one idea I had is a collective "wet" dream. I know it sounds weird, but I've been wanting to engage in some romance writing, partly since I haven't for quite a while. Jeremy and Rena are simply not ready to even start a real relationship, so I thought why not make it a dream? Anyway if we were to do these, they would happen in a completely separate PM thread.

Dragged Into the Darkness [Leysos & Damiann47]

Alright, I'll have to be honest here. At this point my inspiration for the RP has run dry and I got no idea what to write anymore, or at least can't make it sound good like I want it.

Now I absolutely don't want to abandon this at all, I've invested way too much, but I don't want to make seriously half-assed posts. So yeah, that's how it is, I'm just going to take a break for a little bit and see how that goes, also feel free to do some idle chat here, maybe even talk about the RP itself maybe that will help.

Here you are. It took a little longer than I wanted, but I wasn't quite sure how I wanted write it. Anyway hope this is a good start.

The End (Engel & Damiann47)

Tania Edison a combat pilot of the Lewis Clark Initiative sat in silence, her only light came from the various readouts before her. She had her orders and those orders were to wait, alongside the rest of her wing they were in position for an ambush, waiting for Vothani to show their dammed squid faces. Tania's craft, a heavy assault mech, slowly spun in space being unable to correct itself. The pilot had to resist the urge to stop her spin, but unless she wanted to give them away by firing up her thrusters, she had to deal with the slight annoyance, this is what she got for forgetting to properly stop.

The only object in view, and at the moment Tania's only source of entertainment was the distant planet with which they shared an orbital path. VH-28, a totally unexplored planet, and other than a few preliminary scans they knew close to nothing about it, well she at least knew nothing about it. Even if her vantage point was a couple of hundred kilometers away from the celestial body, she had to admit it did look pretty. The majority of the planet's surface was a dull red, astonishingly similar in appearance to Mars actually, although the main difference being the presence of oceans. Somewhat like Earth a good percentage of the planet was covered in the stuff, and they could only call it stuff, they didn't know for sure if it was water, however the possibility alone made venturing closer worth any risk. What they did know was it had an atmosphere, and the chance of it holding breathable oxygen was very high.

Tania was pulled out of her daydreaming by an alert from her on board computer. The built in radar picked up on a few hits approaching very quickly, they had to be Squids. The pilot sat up straight in her seat, prepared to engage the targets at the drop of a hat. Without any audible commands her wing started to mobilize, Tania followed suit. Quickly she fired up her main maneuvering thrusters, and any other combat important systems, her entire cockpit was now brightly lit which was a very welcomed change.

One by one the units belonging to her wing shot forward, Tania waited until everyone else was already on the move, leaving her at the rear of the six man team. The human pushed her throttle to full power, at this point speed was off the essence, and her class of mech wasn't known be the fastest craft in the fleet. In practically no time they made visual contact with the enemy, then imminently her wing scattered in all different directions hoping to catch one of the Squids before they realize what was happening. It was time for her first combat engagement of the day, yet little did Tania knew it was also potentially her last one as well.

The End (Engel & Damiann47)

Then it's settled. I'm going to start on the first post soon.

The End (Engel & Damiann47)

How about this, the planet has an especially powerful electromagnetic field, like Earth's but a lot stronger. The battle starts quite some distance from the planet because both sides would obviously know this, however for whatever reason our characters drift too close then are caught in this field.

On the ground there is way too much interference to call for help, and anything that wasn't heavily shielded for EMP is fried.

The End (Engel & Damiann47)

Alright end is fine, sort of works the best for both. I can make the first post then, I do imagine our characters won't be interacting until they crash into the planet.

By the way, have you thought of a reason why they go down in the first place?

Edit: Oh also what's the alien race's name?

The End (Engel & Damiann47)

Right, it is sci-fi so it also doesn't need to make complete sense. Anyway suppose there's nothing else to do but get started, I was thinking we could go two ways here. Start on the ground after the crash landing, or start right at the beginning of whatever fight they take part in. It'll be like starting slow, or starting fast.

The End (Engel & Damiann47)

Well my thoughts were it could work like transformers, or they're attached to a booster... plane thing... I don't know what to call it.
