Welcome to Gaia! ::

"So... Cleaning..." he said with a forlorn look. "So from exploring planets and killing criminals to a janitor eh?"

Jad nodded, "It exists. the database in the Dark Eagle proves it. The Jupiter was a mobile fleet base and construction yard for starcruisers. It had over a thousand mile-long cruisers docked when the outbreak occurred. That, combined with the jump drive this ship has, it can jump in an instant, outpacing any warp drive. The problem is, there was another race that released th virus. they're rather piratical now, but I hear the Jupiter is where their leaders like to congregate, despite the fact that the Pyresian tech is useless. You've heard of them I bet. Agronians. Their raids on worlds are feared in and out of the Empire. They strike at the cities first, then capture slaves from the rural areas, before firebombing the planet, leaving nothing but ashes... They were the ones who made the virus that killed my people. Luckily for humanity, they can't stay united for long. They're pretty antisocial."

Jad pulled a small little badge from his vest, "This is the Pyresian coat of arms, usually kept by the highest ranked member of the Republic. It's naturally useless in the hands of any other race. Allows full acess and control of any Pyresian ship. I need to find this ship, see if there's anything there that can help... Since ten years ago, I've been feeling this sense of dread... like something very bad is going to happen. The Jupiter may be the key to stop it, it may not, but I know I'm going to try."

Jad leaned forward, "The crew of this ship could help, but I don't really want to lead them into something so dangerous. The captain has enough problems as it is..." he pulled up his glove and looked at a small wrist computer.

"I could give you a loan, so that Nina can get this massive crate off the ground... The faster we get the Midas, the better."

(Jad: Treasure hunter, last of a powerful race, source of alien lore, enemy of the Empire, and rich nutcase.)

he rests on the ground " thanks.. i feel much better.." he sighs and goes to sleep as his auto repair kicks in ¨ repairs completed... in 30 minutes.. shut down.. commencing now"

(so... just so everyone's on the same page... Here's how it's laid out... someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm dividing the sections up to make some sense.
As each has it's own story Arc, sort of, I'm naming them after the characters at this point. note that these are simply at this exact time, not later or earlier. It's also to help others, like Misery_Rose_SinClair, Nkun-13, or fire axel 08, who may be lost.

Nina/Iron Arc
Captain Nina is outside with iron, she just fell from her ship. She is remarkably unhurt.

Steve/Kyonn/Matt Arc
Steve is talking to a new visitor on the ship, who seems eager to help...

Blake/Jad/Rin/Len/Jesian Arc
Jad is speaking with Blake about an ancient, massive warship in the medical bay. Blake's crewmember (maggie) is suspicious

Dr. Len is fixing up Rin in the sickbay, more absorbed with her, so ignoring the other conversation. As far as I know, Jesian never left the room.

Damian/Rosa/Kira Arc
Rosa was destroyed. Damian recovered her black box and is going to re-create her.

Dr. Erin/Dr. Jeremy/DAI/Miku/Ren/Layla Arc
Ren brought Layla to the lab containing DAI. DAI told Miku to get medical tools to patch up Ren, who is bleeding. Layla and DAI are now the only ones in the lab. Dr. Jeremy was sent to take the production facility from other scientists, and Dr. Erin is readying the necessary paperwork to enact her plan.

Current locations:
Eros- Location of most of the characters. currently in a state of chaos at the spaceport due to starship crash, followed by an attack from an android, which self-destructed.
Axiom- Secret space station above Eros.
Sentinel- Location of Empire Thinktank. Contains lots of labs with secret projects. DAI is located here and cannot move. Considered a high security area.
Imperial Seat- Some planet the Imperial palace is on. Currently the king and queen are the only characters here.

Characters unaccounted for: (order of disappearance, from recent to older)
Kryxel- Last seen on Jad's ship. Assumed to have left it.
Crimson- Last seen leaving the ship to buy tools on Eros. Considered to be returning.
Maxwell Regal- Last seen onboard the ship.
Katrina- Last seen before the Eros landing.
Nuhrii- Last seen annoying people. Presumed dead.

That's all I can figure out...)

Kyonn looked up and his red eyes glemed as the new person came up. he figured it was the captain. "Greetings." he bowed. which was customary in his culture. "I am Kyonn and my ship is in a bad condition and i wondered if i could seek sancuary on this vessel." he jaughed at himself for actic all flowery.

"I was always good with my hands." he said holding up his claw like hands.

"Well i got to do something if i want to stay here." he smiled as he started to pick up the larger peices of debris.
