Futuristic Fate of the Stars of Life (EPISODE 3: RP-CONSPIRACY)

[CaptainRustbolt21]

One of the soldiers stepped up and asked to Lux, in sign language, ‘have you ever entered into a war situation like this before?’.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

"This is hardly a war situation. This is an infiltration. And I am highly skilled at anything special ops. Why do you think I was assigned to lead you all? And yes, I have been in war situations for anyone else wondering." He responds quickly in sign language. He looks at the other soldiers. "Any other questions or challenges?" He thinks, sending it into their ear so they can hear his thoughts.

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

The soldier nods to Lux’s response and steps down. The rest of the soldiers simply shocked their heads. After a short amount of time, Captain Susan appears in the docking bay, wearing armor similar to the First Human Army’s, with the only difference being that the armor is slightly slimmer to fit her body. As soon as she walked in, all of the soldiers do their own salutations and shouted ‘CAPTAIN!’. “At ease.” Susan responded, and the soldiers eased up their body positions. Holding what appears to be a mobile hologram device, she makes a finger gesture, asking Lux, Kokoro, and Bowe to approach her.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He nods in approval at his 18-man army, makes eye contact with Kokoro and Bowe, and swiftly moves to stand in front of Susan, giving her his respect with a small bow, and lifting his head to receive orders.

As soon as she walked in, all of the soldiers do their own salutations and shouted ‘CAPTAIN!’. “At ease.” Susan responded, and the soldiers eased up their body positions. Holding what appears to be a mobile hologram device, she makes a finger gesture, asking Lux, Kokoro, and Bowe to approach her.

Kokoro and Bowe notice and hear her, and intended to approach as instructed - Bowe seeming just about as energetic and care free as ever, and then there is Kokoro, who seems mostly indifferent - but still confident an willing to do this.

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

Susan’s eyes widen a little, noticing that Kokoro isn’t in her ghostly form; that she is wearing a physical shell that, unknown to the captain at the time, was created by Lux. “I did not recognize you for a moment, Kokoro. What happened to your body?” Susan asked, trying to keep her stoic attitude.

 

[BoltBeam]

Kokoro chuckled. "Oh, nothing. It's still in here." She said, one arm of that shell going limp and the ghostly version of it made visible. "You can thank Lux for this. It feels weird, but I can feel physical stuff now - walls, people and objects... pain..." Kokoro shuddered before the previously limp arm came back to life as Kokoro's ghostly arm went back into it. "Think of it as an insurance policy."

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

“I don’t get why you think of it as an insurance policy, but there is no time for idle talk.” Susan said before showing the trio the holographic device she was carrying. She activates the device, displaying the 3D schematics of the Master Development Freighter that they are about to infiltrate. “Now, listen very carefully...” She said, making sure that everyone is going to pay attention to what she is going to say.

 

[BoltBeam]

Bowe perked up and looked straight at the 3D schematics, seeming amazed like 'what is this pretty thing'. Kokoro just looked at it silently, not seeming 'as' amazed, but yeah, she's looking at it.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

Lux listens intently for Susan's explanation. He studies the schematics, starting to formulate a plan for himself in case whatever Susan says goes wrong in the mission. He looks to Kokoro and Bowe to see if they were listening, and turned back to the Captain.

 

[BoltBeam]

He looks to Kokoro and Bowe to see if they were listening

Thankfully, yes, yes they were - one more than the other, but they were listening none the less.

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

Susan begins her explanation. “Our objective in this infiltration is simple: flank all of the Inferno Syndicate’s forces on all sides, free the hostages, and reverse the damages done by the syndicate. Formulate a plan for all I care, but keep the soldier and hostage casualties to a minimum.” Susan advises before pressing on a couple of buttons on the device, causing it to zoom into the schematics. First, she zoomed into the top front of the freighter. “Me and the First Human Army will issue a full-frontal assault in the main docking bay of the freighter.” She informs. She then zooms out, moves the holographic freighter to it’s left side, and zooms in again. “Kokoro, Bowe, and the Seventh Freakazoid Army will enter into the freighter’s secondary docking bay.” She informs to Kokoro And Bowe. She zooms our again, moves the freighter to the other side, and zooms in again. “Lux and the Fifth Human Army will sneak into the freighter through a airlock on this side of the freighter.” She then turns off the hologram and puts it away. “As I said, you may all formulate your own plans, but please keep the soldier casualties to a minimum and proceed with caution. There will be innocent hostages in the freighter and we want to save as many of them as we can. Understood?” She said, finishing her paragraph.

//Here’s a picture of the freighter in case you all forgot.

“Our objective in this infiltration is simple: flank all of the Inferno Syndicate’s forces on all sides, free the hostages, and reverse the damages done by the syndicate. Formulate a plan for all I care, but keep the soldier and hostage casualties to a minimum.”

“Kokoro, Bowe, and the Seventh Freakazoid Army will enter into the freighter’s secondary docking bay.”

“As I said, you may all formulate your own plans, but please keep the soldier casualties to a minimum and proceed with caution. There will be innocent hostages in the freighter and we want to save as many of them as we can. Understood?”

Kokoro and Bowe took in the information about the objective, what they are to do, and whatever else about the mission in question. Kokoro nodded. "Yes, Captain." She said calmly, smiling. Bowe attempted to speak up to say she understood as well, but for some reason opted not to and attempted a salute - only to mess it up and laugh it off instead, giving the thumbs up as a substitute. Yep... She's got it alright.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He nods, understanding it. He turns to Kokoro and Bowe. “I will try to formulate my plans to meet up with you if I can, but the mission will have to come first. Me and my army will sweep the area quickly, and I’ll try to get to you. Your plan should consist of taking as much space as you can, and hold out.” He writes after taking a minute to think, and showing Kokoro his pad.

He also thinks to the soldiers, “We are going to shoot to kill, nab hostages, and bring them with us as we move around the ship. We won’t leave any Syndicate alive unless they are incapable of any movement, in which case we can take a hostage for ourselves.”

“I will try to formulate my plans to meet up with you if I can, but the mission will have to come first. Me and my army will sweep the area quickly, and I’ll try to get to you. Your plan should consist of taking as much space as you can, and hold out.”

Kokoro and Bowe looked to each other and nodded. They then looked to the soldiers they are to lead, with Kokoro explaining the plan. "The plan is simple - upon entry, single out any hostile threats nearby and swiftly be rid of them while ensuring the captives are safe. Above all else, we are to stay safe - them and ourselves - and try to group up with the others." She said calmly. Bowe looked up to Kokoro. "Can I go sneaky maybe?" She asked. Kokoro sighed. "I'm sorry, Bowe. This may be too dangerous. I'm going to say no." She said honestly, shaking her head. Bowe looked down but nodded in understanding, seeming saddened. "OK then..."

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

She then puts on her battle helmet, arms her rifle, and says “I wish you all the best of luck.” Before she approaches her army, in which they all put on their helmets and enter the carrier shuttle. One of the soldiers in Lux’s army called out for him when he sent his army his thoughts. “Commander Ormidail, Sir!” He shouted, saying his last name incorrectly.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

“It’s Ormidial, soldier. Regardless, what is it you want?” He thinks, looking right at the soldier with his intense glare.

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

The soldier took note of Lux’s glare, but still proceeded with his question. ‘I acknowledge that you are our commander in this mission, sir, but I personally would not recommend taking a Syndicate hostage in this mission. Even if they are our enemy, taking hostages is frowned upon in current Human society, in case you may not know, Sir.’ The soldier said to Lux in sign language.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

“I care not for whether it is frowned upon. I care for results. Would you rather get the enemy plans, and a slap on the wrist, or no plans, and seen as adequate? It better be the former, or you can leave right now.” He thinks, his eyes staring into the soul of the soldier who talked to him.

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

The first soldier wanted to respond, but the second soldier approached the soldier and placed his hand on the first soldier’s shoulder, effectively telling to step down. The first soldier complied and returned to the group. ‘I apologize for the inconvenience, commander. That soldier is known for speaking out his thoughts. We will follow your orders without hesitation.’ The second soldier said to Lux in sign language.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

“That’s quite alright. Now, any other thoughts or concerns? Speak now, or don’t speak at all.” His eyes sweep over the army.

 

[BoltBeam]

In the mean time, Kokoro and Bowe, after Kokoro explained the plan to the army the two were going to lead, made sure they themselves were ready to go through with this - along with the soldiers. Bowe had this awkward gut feeling, like she was forgetting something. She peeked out from behind Kokoro as soon as everyone 'loaded up' onto a shuttle to get the heck to work. "...Questions?" She nervously squeaked out. Kokoro was surprised, but when she would turn around to be like 'I'm in charge here', Bowe had already distanced herself - armed and ready with her beloved chainsaw blade - of which she seemed to be holding tightly in her arms. Kokoro shrugged in confusion but let it go. If there were any questions, the soldiers better ask them now.

The soldiers in Lux’s army simply shook their heads. They held their peace and are ready for the mission.

”No questions for a cute whittle-“ One of the Freakazoid soldiers tried to say before she received a hard tap on the stomach by the other soldier next to her, in which she quickly shut her mouth. “I apologize, madam. We have no questions as we know of. We are ready.” The soldier said with a stoic face.

Kokoro smiled - though stared at that Freakazoid soldier who was promptly silenced like 'finish that, I dare you'. She then looked to the others. "Excellent. Bowe? Are you ready?" She asked and looked over to Bowe who was eating meat before the departure and not paying attention. "...Uhhh, Bowe?" Kokoro repeated. Bowe looked up like 'what' and then just looked down again. Kokoro sighed. "...I mean, she said she was ready earlier, so I think that's a yes." She thought aloud. Bowe, by the time Kokoro finished thinking that aloud, just wiped off any leftover meat from around her lips and seeming damn satisfied. "Let's go!" She said energetically, not a care in the world.

“Good. Everyone load up onto the shuttle.” He thinks to the group, and steps inside their designated shuttle.
