Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Captain the Grey Gale is hailing up..."said the communications team,"On screen..."was Fayts response.He looked at the screen that appeared in front of him and only him at his chair,"Hello again Captain..."he looked at her with his one currently active as the other remained covered in the bandage.The AI contained the nanos once every repair was completed onboard,was i nside there container they were shutdown until they were needed.The AI looked up at the captain with a nodded to let him know everything went well before she deactivated the hologram of herself."So..what can i do for you Captain Raven?"
Raven sat up a little and looked Fayt up and down, "Currently, you can start by telling me what I can do to help." She had substained no damage, yet from the looks of it the Archangel and crew had taken enough for both of them. The Grey Gale only had the A.I Gale to rely on for medical emegencies, something Raven herself didn't fancy much. They did however have some medical supplies to spare. We need to go after Xhu, she thought awaiting a reply from Fayt. Where though to look? He was probably far enroute to N.E. territory.
"We are fine...the ship has been repaired and is ready to move out at any time.."he looked at her then at the space debre of the destroyed vessel."If you wouldnt mind....i would like to do a little...salvaging...."he looked back at Raven.Something about the ship interested him the most,such a ship would have some kind of equipment that could be integrate with his.He looked at his crew that agreed with him,if not something to use them possibly something to sell,it was his little nature after all."There could even be a possibility to finding out where they went..i mean..not EVERYTHING can be detroyed from a self destruct you know.."he looked back at Raven with a small smile.
She could not help but smirk, "You're nearly missin' an eye, and all you can think about is salvagin!" She laughed a little, at least something in her life was stable! "Go ahead, Captain! If you find anyhting you don't want, or has a shread of evidence, let me know okay? Grey Gale out," she nodded for the channel to be closed. "Everyone can stand down, Duncan you have the bridge," she said, suddenly very tired.

"Aye, Cap'in," Duncan's deep voice replied as Raven left the bridge and entered her office, it was connected to the bridge and like a second bedroom for her inbetween being on and off the bridge. Raven shuffled over to the chair behind the sleek and fancy desk and slumped down in it with a sigh. It had been a long, long day.
"Send out the salvage team with a couple of fighter for protection,let them know that they are to look for anything of interest for both use and profit...Faith...i need to rest..."he stood up and slowly left the bridge.Faith nodded and sat in his chair,she overlooked the process of sending out the team and fighters as they approached the wreckage cautiously in case something goes wrong.Fayt walked down the passageway to his room,the door slid open revelaing the captains quarters which was a one man room version of the 3 man officers quarters only a little bit bigger with its own shower and head as well.With a sigh he walked over to his personal desk and sat down,almost immediatly his head ayed down on the table as he crossed his arms and fell asleep as is,tired from the day.As the Archangel neared the sight the team and fighter we're released,they searched among the wreckage and bodies,searching for profit or use as ordered.
Raven hated, and I do mean hated, the silence that one found in space. It was a particular kind of absence of sound that made her uneasy, it was hard to explain to others exactly why one minute she was fine and another she was not. She reached out an taped the computer screen that was semi-embedded into her desk and scrolled through some options. When she leaned back and propped her feet up on the corner of the desk, dance music was being played only she made sure to keep it low. Music helped to ease her, just not classical. Or at least, one certain classical song. Whenever she heard the song "At Twilight's End Symphony Number Five", it brought back feelings of extreme discomfort, nervousness, and even dreading apprehension. "Nebula curse all classical music," she muttered as the beat of dance music played.
Fayt dreamed a dreamless less but yet it was full of pain from his wound.He woke to this inflamed wound and full of pain,he hand was placed over the wound,"It burns..."he said quietly,keeping the sound to himself.He stood up,his hand still placed on his face,he looked at the time on his computer to find he had been asleep for a mere 2 hours.He sighed and walked out of room,he returned to the bridge,who honored his returned by standing up at an attention."Status report Faith.."the crew resumed there duties,"Nothing so far captain."The parties still searched among the wreckage,retrieving any disks slavagable as well as more advanced equipment.
Sigh…what a wonderful day! Commander Xhu thought. He always got a kick from torturing others. He strolled down the corridors of the Battle Claw, headed to the bridge. On his way, he was sure to make a quick page to the doctor. He was playing the “pain and relief” game of torture, where after some extreme pain you make sure the victim is brought up with some sense of hope only to be shattered later. Eventually this cycle breaks all hope from the victim.

“Dr. Albrooke?” Xhu called upon the doctor via his personal communication transmitter (Pcom for short) “I need you to check up on one of our guests in about 45 minutes from now. He’s in cell 4-18.” He shut off the communication without waiting for a response, for he had reached the bridge.

Everyone there saluted and the First Mate stood up from the command chair and saluted in proper respect as Commander Xhu sat down. The First Mate need not repeat the incident with the invasion fleet.

“Ensign Tylor, scan for the Grey Gale and hail if possible,” the Commander ordered.


((And fyi, the Battle Star that just self-destructive was not given the new coordinates to where the invasion fleet was going. So there is no information left behind on their current location. And all military data would have been wiped before the self destruct. The only chance to get data information would be from people's personal Data Pod's. And those, given this is a military ship, will be writen in Military Code. XP))
Duncan swore up and down that Raven was the only person in existence that could possible fall asleep listening to dance music, the very genre was meant to get you up and moving he claimed. This was one of those times where she had fallen asleep listening to music. The dream was however, unpleasant...

She was running again, the sirens were blaring, the search lights were active and seeking out the escaped subject. Her chest felt like it was on fire and blood was trickling down her back from where the needle had been taken out of. Behind her she could feel her pursuer's glare digging into her back. It's all in my head, it's all in my head! she thought frantically, not daring to look behind her. She skidded around a corner, the ground hurt to run on and the cold night air felt like ice needles against her arms and face. Suddenly there was a cliff before her and she had to skid to a stop. She turned, shaking from both the cold and fear to face her pursuer just as they reached out a hand and...

Raven was shook awake by Duncan, "Odalia? You're safe now, your on board the Grey Gale remember? No one can hurt you here." The big man looked down at the woman who looked pale, he knew she was having another bad dream. Slowly Raven sat up and nodded, still shaking but steadily calming down again. Duncan nodded slowly, grip firm but not hurtful on her shoulder to reassure her, "We're being hailed by the Battle Claw, do you want me to take this one?"

It was a moment before she responded, "No, I'll take it." She stood, reclaiming her composer and strode onto the bridge through the automatic doors with confidence. "Filters on max. On screen," she commanded as she took the captain's chair and sat in her normal lady-like manner, head held high ready to talk to the devil.

Forty five minutes later . . .

***

Her medical gloves and first aid kit were in her hands, though it deemed upon her that the prisoner might need more than just a few band-aids here and there. She set the first aid kit within a crate, and placed inside several IV needles and blood bags...ah! And some morphine! She was sure he-or she-, whoever was kept down there might find a few narcotics appeasing.

Chris disregarded the antidote to the toxin, seeming that it was regularly she checked up on her usual "patients".

"Four-eighteen, four-eighteen..." It took one trip down a looooo-ooooooo-oooong flight of stairs to reach the lower decks of the ship to were the cells were.

Punching in a confirmation code, the door slid open and a bright, luminescent light nearly blinded her path...


(( Hehe. Sliding doors. xD Only accessible from the outside in. =D ))
Rig immediately looked up as the sliding doors opened and was ready to assault swears at Commander Xhu. But instead, a lovely young woman was before the door. Thanks to his delirious nature and his compulsion for odd humor, Rig couldn’t help himself with what he said next.

“Wow, didn’t realize this ship had an angel on-board.” Which could be half-way true. Dr. Albrooke had shimmering silver hair and very fine pale skin. However, Rig had no idea who or why this person was here. He just squinted at her from over Mey’s shoulder.
There was a dark space in the area near the two ships, as space seemed to stretch in that area. A large ship leaving the rift appeared nearby. On the bridge many reptillian creatures shifted through the chairs inputting commands here and there, sending reports, receiving them. Yet above them in a metalic orb, shut out from the noises below was the commander. His face staring up towards the pict screens veiwing the ships, and the reports. His eyes glancing at each in turn, finally he spoke,"Comm controll, try to open a frequency with the human ship."he ordered, referring to the one that he recognized from the rumors as the Grey Gale.
Commander Xhu was all smiles when Raven popped on his screen.

“Ah, what a lovely meeting this is again Princess Odalia. I hope you had a pleasant time at the ‘Trade and Stay’.”
"Why you little ba-" Raven was cut off as she was alerted to the hails of another ship. She smiled sweetly at the Commander, "One moment please." Then she hit a few keys on her armchair panel and opened the hail form the other vessel for sound only unless they confirmed a visual link. "This is Captain Fitzroy of the Grey Gale, to whom am I speaking?" Raven asked, motioning for the female reptilian at the sensor station to scan the unknown vessel. Boy oh boy, what a day and night this was turning out to be!
