*The thing immediately lashes out, but not before being staggered by the attack in bestial surprise, it lashes out two tentacles your way trying to rip you apart, while it immediately reaches out for January MacClay*

January MacClay: Oh no you don't!

*She tumbles out of the way and immediately starts firing her weapon, cracking a few of its armour plaques*

@Shadrack Nor

*Swings from one to the next, tearing into them with inhuman precision and speed, while my blades supernaturally stay as sharp and durable as ever; one of the beasts, I spend an extra few moments stretching a handful of arteries out of its neck*

Commander Greyson: Right everyone let's step into the threshold!

*He declares as he's the first to enter the yellow blazing threshold of the teleportation doorways and release a flare of light as he's teleported, shortly after which everyone else follows, you, Prism and Misty with the group assigned to you, arrive in what looks like a dishevelled open deck, that has an opening to the fortress, This is clearly a suspended base, meant for several tasks, that was supposedly abandoned, you'd better watch your back however... but overall, there are many lower decks that have closer vistas, and windows and even data relevant from the pirates past actions that might be useful to record; the rest, Meredy and Rhoan are with me and the rest of the ship's larger group joining the main assault army*

Commander Greyson: Alright fellos, be ready, though this region seems silent for now.... oh fuck... watch out duck!!!

*A ball of plasma is quickly approaching our location; I step in the way and raise a hand and create a shield that utterly cancels the weapon and absorbs it's power into the tesseract; the Commander looks dumbfounded at me*

Commander Greyson: You could do this all the time?

Soldier Boy: Heh... no sir... i actually intended to blast the thing before it landed on us...

*I answer ernestly*

Commander Greyson: So how did they already spotted us... oh shit! this must be a trap!!! Call your observer friends!! they might be in over their heads already!

Soldier Boy: Dammit! They weren't supposed to know we were comin'! Those bastards must've rigged this whole place to blow. We gotta get out of here, now!

*My voice is laced with urgency and a hint of fear. I glance at the outer wall of the fortress; The place is a death trap, and it is impossible to ignore.*

Prism, *I call on the psionic communicator* get your team the hell out of there! NOW!

Use the healer if you have to, but get outta that death trap! they may have been planning how to trap us in all along which means they are ready for even the larger army! hold 'em off as long as you can until the teleporters charge, then I'll teleport to your location. Don't you dare die on me, kid!

*I draw my Pulsefire, a grim determination settling on my face. I start to think the odds are stacked against us, but I'll be damned if I let my team die without a fight. The power of the Tesseract surges through my blood already, strengthening my resolve. I'm not just a soldier anymore; I'm a weapon! and I'm fully embodying it!*

Come and get me, you pirate scum! I'm gonna make you regret the day you messed with the Terran Dominion!

*I charge toward the already colossal mutants approaching our unit, my weapon blazing, the air crackling with the energy of my fury. I'm ready to unleash hell, and I won't stop until every last pirate is dead!*

@Shadrack Nor

*Grins throughout a mad, silent giggle and immediately dashes for the first mutant, flinging myself up its body with a pair of knives in a reverse grip, using the blades like a set of pitons, and once I reach the chest of the monster I dig the two into its heart in a wedge shape, rending as much flesh as I can from the still-beating organ*

Myriad Reality

*I just grow giddy at the sight, but then remember i don;t really need any... but why not load myself up with a bunch because i can still use them to direct my energy through them as i usually do*

Commander Greyson: As for the enemy it's time to head out to the planning room.

*H takes the entire ship's crew and also plugs in some commands to make the broatcast live to every other military vessel present, oh yeah, this is a full scale attack, and they came packing - also the line is unhackable and secure*

Commander Greyson: Alright team, eyes on the screen. This is the heart of the Iliath Pirate Cartel's operation on Phobos: their central fortress. This monolith isn't just a power source, it's their lifeblood. It's where they store their ill-gotten gains, their experimental weapons, and most importantly, their psionic tech. Those mind-bending weapons are their ace in the hole, and we're taking that ace away.



Now, don't let the term "pirates" fool you. These ain't your grandpa's peg-legged rum-runners. The Iliath Cartel are organized, ruthless, and heavily armed. They've spliced themselves with cybernetics, mutated into monstrous forms, and built an army of automated drones that'll rip you to shreds if you're not careful.

You'll be facing a variety of threats. We've got intel on hulking brutes with cybernetic enhancements that'll charge you head-on. There are stealth units that can blend into the shadows and strike from nowhere. And of course, the dreaded psionic specialists. These guys are the real deal, capable of causing hallucinations, manipulating emotions, and even controlling your mind if you let them.

But we ain't goin' in blind. We've got a plan. We'll be insertin' you under cover of darkness, usin' the latest stealth tech to bypass their perimeter defenses. Once inside, we'll split into two teams. Alpha team will focus on takin' out the power core, while Bravo team will secure the psionic weapons and any intel they can find.

This ain't gonna be easy. The Iliath are gonna fight tooth and nail to protect their fortress. But we're the best of the best, and we ain't backin' down. We're gonna hit 'em hard, hit 'em fast, and show 'em what happens when you mess with the Terran Dominion.

@Shadrack Nor

*Claps at the conclusion of the speech*

*I approach you contemplatively*

Nope... as crazy as it sounds even to me, these are fairly basic equipment, sure it may...

*The i realize*

How familiar are you with the concept of technology? When i first asked you, you said you are familiar with boats, horses and sails and such... it seem like you come from the middle ages or somethin'

<Snipped quote by Etcetera>

*January MacClay approaches you encouragingly*

January MacClay: Go for it, which one do you fancy? They are all basically the same in abilities, but what's fancy about it is...

*She presses a small button on a wrist pad and the whole armour changes and becomes more flexible and adopts a purplish hue, then she shifts a circle on the pad and it adds incandescent red hues, then she presses another button, returns to the original shape and this time it is all entirely pitch black*

January MacClay: You can basically customize how you want it to look and which defence settings to be more prominent over others...

@Shadrack Nor

*Makes an "ooh" face and runs the fabric of the black one through my fingers, which supernaturally whips around me and morphs onto my skin in the form of a black hoodie*

<Snipped quote by Memory>



January MacClay: Alright you flower buds! Hear me out! We will be intercepting some rather moronic evil and soulless pirates when we get transported to our respective locations...

*She gestures as she opens the doors to nanite enhanced armours*

January MacClay: This here is a suit of armour that can generate a kinetic and energetic shield, plus is Nanite enhanced so it will fit any body type seamlessly! You'd better pick this up if you want to avoid any flesh wounds and also any mental punches, yeah, it will protect you from psionic blasts too...

Soldier Boy: Gosh, do i love her style...

@Shadrack Nor

*Looks between each person, and then to the suits*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

HELL YEAH!! WHOOOO!

*I gurgle as my face distorts in all kinds of goopy forms.*

*A few minutes later we drop out of hyperburn, and through the panoramic transparent steel windows, all can see the nearly terraformed Phobos asteroid-moon, sure all covered in domes and mega-structures, but this gigantic asteroid orbiting Mars for eons, is now, nearly a green rock!*

If you need to puke, there are masks for that that you can press a button for on your couch... please don't do that on the floor.

*I teasingly mock, as i know just how much a first hyperburn travel can cost on the body.*

@Shadrack Nor

*Grins at the experience, bobbing my head back and forth*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Memory>

*Both the commander and me nod our heads in sharp approval and sign of readiness*

Soldier Boy: Both of you, how comfortable are you with hyperburn drive? Essentially getting us to near light speed, and... hah... let me tell you at least our faces will be turning all mushy in the Crash Couches...

Commander Greyson: Why are you asking them that? Have they never space travelled before?

Soldier Boy: Yeah... i'll... i'll tell you later sir!

@Shadrack Nor

*Flashes two thumbs up*
