Welcome to Gaia! ::

Welcome one and all to the Star Ship Atlantis!

Well... That's what it used to look like back in the day. Now it's slightly more rusty and run down. She was once the pride and joy of the Empire's Space Fleet until command was handed over to Cpt. Nina Armstrong.

She single handedly cost the Empire hundreds of TRILLIONS of dollars from damages and demands and somehow managed to lose the BIGGEST ship the Empire possessed, The Atlantis. Now, she's on the run from the Empire. But her crew doesn't know that, yet.

Nina rushed over to the control panel where Steve was sitting. She grabbed the microphone and talked into it. "Hello. Hello? This is Captain Nina Armstrong of the Star Ship Atlantis requesting rescue. We are low on food and fuel... Hello? Please respond!" She put the microphone down as she waited for a response from somebody on the other ship.

"Maybe they didn't hear..." Steve said quietly. "We did mess up the broadcaster pretty badly... Maybe it's busted...?" He pressed a bunch of random buttons, trying to get a response. They waited for the other ship to answer thier desperate call.

Steve turned to look at him. "But we think we-" But Nina quickly cut him off. "There is a good posibility that we may be rescued. There is another vessel only a few thousand miles away. We've sent out a message now we're just waiting for a response. It doesn't look like a hostile ship." She said nievely as she smiled and pointed out the window as she spoke as if anyone could actually see the other ship so far away.

Suddenly there was some scratching noise coming from Nina's recorder. It was hooked up to the main computer to recieve the message. But no voice was coming through. Just what sounded like a fax machine at times and the scratching. "It's hopeless!" Nina wailed as she gave up and slumped into her chair and held her head in her hands.

"Actually... it's Binary..." Steve sighed heavily. She should know that... He quickly flicked a bunch of buttons. "I'll try to get our computer to translate it. That shouldn't be too hard. We haven't touched that system yet so it should work fine." After a moment or two, the random code of "00110001101001011" turned into words they could understand. The whole crew waited with hopeful eyes as the text began to show up on the screen.

"Responding to emergency transmission:
Starship Epsilon to Starship Atlantis

Warning:
You have entered a hostile area
Please leave the area immediately or
You will be boarded and taken by force as
Prisoners under Law 347H1
You have 5:00 minutes to comply
Thank you."

Nina thought for a minute while staring up at the red words on the screen then she smiled. "No... not yet. I have a plan. Steve! Send them a message!" Quickly she pulled out a small piece of paper and scribbled down some words. Then she handed it to Steve who read it and sighed heavily.

"...You can't be serious...?" He asked, with obvious depression in his voice.
"Of course!" The captain smiled widely. "It's a great idea!" And like a slave, Steve replied to the enemy ships message with thier own, muttering Why me... why me... under his breath. This time, another response came only seconds after they sent the message. It read:



Steve looked up at the screen like he was about to cry. He knew that he was one of these "delegates" and who knows what else the Captain had in mind. "What an ingenius plan." Nina complimented herself. "I offered to trade them ourselves..." She pointed to the three of them in the room. "...for supplies to move our ship. We spend a small amount of time in prison while our faithful crew moves to a safe zone, gets the ship fixed and then we escape. It's perfect! But, oh. If anybody asks... We are very important people. I said that this ship was transporting some world leaders to a convention or something blah blah... Got it?"

[Oh, and in case you're wondering. It's just me, you and Steve in this room right now. And the rest of the crew doesn't like Nina because she's a bad captain.]
