Planetside RP

[sacridshadow]

how far out did you go? I hope you don't go to my area. D:

*Nova exited the ship and looked around. A few rocks were scattered, but there wasn't much to look at. Nova grabbed a SCD from his vest and pressed the button. The ball grew in size and Nova threw it towards the rocks. "Come on out, Sandurnask!" From the ball came energy that formed into a large brown weasel like creature. "Sandurnask, I need you to dig through the ground to the lake below us. Try to get it so we don't fall in, okay?" Sandurnask responded and began digging, within seconds it was gone and dirt was flying out of the hole.*

 

[varsaigen]

oh god... doesn't that sound familiar D: But... it IS an interesting form of combat :/

 

[Tleno]

Rodent genie? Awesome...

 

[sacridshadow]

what? heck no. It's no genie. The SCD (Spherical Capturing Device) captures a creature in the ball. I guess you could say it's like a pokeball, if you know how that works. But for this, it doesn't open, the energy comes from the button, and the creature held inside the ball. my race are experts on such things. XD and no, it can't capture creatures such as yourselves, just the ones from my world. XD

 

[varsaigen]

still sounds like a rip... I don't mind an energy-stream, but the design of your sphere is already used...

 

[sacridshadow]

actually, no it isn't. If you've seen the sphere, you'd know it doensn't operate like a pokeball, it just has the same purpose. so please, stop complaining.

Day 4:

The base in the lowlands finishes the construction of it's Foundry, and begins constructing a Atmospheric Equalizer. Meanwhile, a Thunderhawk Gunship deploys a squad in the central tundra.

"Damnit, why can't they send us somewhere warm?!"
"*sigh* Listen, we do what they ask us THEN they send us somewhere warm."
The squad moves through the central lowlands, when they find a crater-like area, large enough to support one or two large bases. A member walks to the far side closest to the sea, and a beacon thuds in to the ice.
"Beacon received, supply ships moving in."

OOC: Sacrid, I think you should try something like a SCT (Small Creature Teleporter?). Much more original.

 

[varsaigen]

*The transport moves through the mountain range, collecting data of the mountains to form a more exact map of the area. Suddenly, a strange thing appears in the 3D map. "It looks like a cave." "Can you figure out what its made of?" "Nope. We'll have to go down and check it out ourselves." Setting down the craft below the entrance, they soon set off, climbing the short distance with the aid of their power suits. Reaching the cave, they begin scanning the entrance and conclude that the scanners only pick up ice. Walking in, the use echo visors to determine the density of the ice to determine a safe path. As they walk in further, they come to a stop and chisle a section of ice away to reveal hard rock. Adding this to their scanners' sensors, they can now see the density of the ice and rock in different colors. (ice has blues, the granites another)

 

[sacridshadow]

I'm sorry, but a teleporter wouldn't work. If I did that, it would look like I can teleport tem out of danger and straight to where I want them. It also gives me a feeling that I'm just using creatures and putting them in a war they don't understand. The fact is, I based the function off of the pokeball, but the look and how that function is applied is different. Yeah, they can escape, but it won't break the ball either.

Sandurnask soon reappeared from the hole and started towards Nova. Nova crouched down and felt Sandurnask's paw. "Yep, definetely water. Good job." Nova grabbed the SCD and aimed it at the large ferret like creature. "Return." A beam of energy was sent out and the creature became energy and went into the ball. Nova walked to the hole and turned around. "I'm going to go take a look at the lake, I'll be back soon." "Ok, be careful!" came the replies. Nova jumped down andslid to the bottom. He landed and looked around.

 

[sacridshadow]

((Continued))

"It's dark in here." Nova said, grabbing a ball from his vest. He pressed the button and it became larger. Nova stood up and threw the ball. "Huntrash, I need your assistance!" From the ball came a large amount of energy that formed into a large metallic creature. The creature began to turned around and two headlights turned on on the side of its "face". "Huntrash, I need you to light up the area. After that, take a look around the lake." Huntrash responded with a calculating sound and began to turn around again. Nova watched where the light struck and decided that the lake would be too large to walk aroun with the hour or two of light. "I'll call you when it's time to come back." Huntrash responded and began to float to the left side of the lake. Nova looked around and went to the right.

 

[varsaigen]

meh. still soudns like a pokeball >_>

*Walking further into the tunnel, they eventually came across a vast cavern. Awed by its vastness, the stared up, up towards the ceiling. It was vaulted, with thick pillars scattered about, and puddles of water everwhere. Thing is, it was all rock. Hard, thick rock. Planting a beacon down, they return to the transport to discuss their findings with the rest of the team*

 

[sacridshadow]

lol oh well. Call it inspiration if you will, I don't care. XD

*After an hour of looking around the edge of the lake, Nova returned to the hole. Soon after, Huntrash returned. "Find anything?" Nova asked. The reply came in as a calculating sound. "I guess not. Return." Nova held the SCD at Huntrash and it went into the ball. Nova put it away and began to climb the tunnel back up. Having claws, it was an easy climb and he soon reached the top. Nova climbed out of the hole and walked to the ship. Once inside, he fixed himself a cup of tea and sat down. Rane came into view and saw Nova. "Back already?"
"Yeah, I could only see the edge, but I think there is an island in the middle of that lake. Really large too."
"Really? Tell me."

 

[sacridshadow]

((Continued))

"Well, I had Huntrash take a look around with his headlights and we didn't see any immediate danger. The lake is really large though. I think tommorrow I'll send Aquaticus into the lake to see what he can find."
"I hope there's nothing down there but rock and water."
"Yeah. I hope he doesn't mind."
The ship's ramp door closed and the engineer came in. "Hey there! How'd it go?"
"Fine. Saw nothing of interest though, aside from what I think is an island."
"Oh? Tell me all about it."
Nova repeated the story, and they eventually went to bed.*
Gah, I seriously need a name for that engineer. DX

 

[varsaigen]

only three actions per day...

name: joe

 

[Tleno]

*Somewhere near to sacrishadow, on science wesel "Marie Curie"*
tleno: okay, Shevaar, we are ready to study this planet's specimen... I don't think there are gonna be any dangers here, unless someone else is doing research here, and thats actually good, I would like to share information with my fellow scientists...
Shevaar: danger's? and what's about snow and ice? I can freeze to death... do we have enough thermo-drug?
tleno: Yes, and I allways can produce more... Terrain scanners indicate there's something like a cave in there, I think we should take a look at it... by the way, it might be warm there and we can find lots of intresting things there...
Shevaar: Okay, but next time I choose the planet to research... what about a tropical paradise with lizard chicks? It would be great!
Tleno: Um, Shevaar, they would kill me if there would be lizard race and I would create lizard clone, its forbiden to clone civilized races that already exist...

 

[sacridshadow]

awww, do you have to be so close? and I hope you aren't going to land on top of me. I'd have to shoot you down then. but if you do, you can blame your sensors not working properly, and pull back into the clouds as soon as you see us. XD By that time, I'd have heard you coming. lol

 

[varsaigen]

....... Not even I picked up the cave! That's a proximity effect. -.-

There's a mineral in the ice that prevents clear distanced scans. Its all a proximity thing. Other than that, its a rare, though worthless mineral, that one would need to discover, learn about it, and then calibrate their sensors to compensate for it. But, the compensation would be a bit harder due to it being an alien substance to what we're used to. :/

 

[varsaigen]

*Discussions among the teams commenced, and a plan was formed. Pulling out some equipement, they begin to have it carried down by a couple of maintenance and construction drones, down into the deep tunnels of the cave. As they reach the cavern, they head off down one of the tunnels, keeping their sensors on. When they find a suitable place, they set up the machines, built, and positioned them, and began work on mining required minerals*

 

[Tleno]

sacrid, my scanners were scanning terrain. I turned off radar to spare some energy. And yes, I'm near to you.
*Marie Curie lands about 1 kilometter away from the cave*
Shevaar: I hate when we leave Marie. Its so warm there... and now we have to walk whole kilometter in this frozen hell...
Tleno: What bad could happen while we are outside?
Shevaar: Right, just like then when mudcrab broke down all of the robots? *laughing* That was awesome...
Tleno: Newermind...

 

[varsaigen]

well now, you have to climb a cliff! and up the mountain My ship was just a few hundred feet below the cave entrance, as there is no ledge at the cave

 

[Tleno]

Its snowing so powerfully its too risky to fly with jetpack there, but nobody will Haax you if you will just climb there... By the way, Shevaar is quiteagille, he can climb quickly, esspecially with his claws... and when he climbs up quite high, he can just use the rope...

 

[varsaigen]

lol lots of ice and rock That's where Chozo power-suits come into play It can get a good grip, and get the user up with little to no sweat

... I wish I could RP some more, but the three actions is a limit for those of us who RP :/ Besides, the creator of this thread isn't RPing atm D:

 

[sacridshadow]

lol it sounds like I have some of the same technology that you do. Although the difference is that I don't need a suit to climb it. XD I have CLAWS. XD

 

[varsaigen]

well, we don't need suits either, but its easier :/

 

[Tleno]

Human body is not so mighty, so humans have to use their mind sometimes...
*Tleno and Shevaar manage to get to the top of the mountain after about a hour of climbing...*
Tleno: *Tired* Okay, thats it... that was quite hard... I think we should set up tent and rest now, we are to tired to move into the cave...
Shevaar: First good idea today!

 

[sacridshadow]

you mean, they didn't bother to fly to the top? wow, talk about bad ideas.

 

[varsaigen]

yeah, well, they aren't humans. they're Chozo

top of the montain? wow. you passed the cave! XD Its somewhere in the middle lol

*The machines drill away, hunting, searching for the minerals they sought. Density sensors pinged the rock, searching for rocks somewhere with the correct density. Meanwhile, the squads examined the cave, setting up security, and exploring the tunnels in pairs. At the transport, a squad remained to keep watch*

 

[Tleno]

No, I mean near the cave, not top...

 

[varsaigen]

*Tleno and Shevaar manage to get to the top of the mountain after about a hour of climbing...*

None the less, your in for some... fun.

 

[sacridshadow]

lol If I were there, I'd send a monster to scare you back down the mountain, but alas, I'm not. XD

 

[Tleno]

We have weapons for that. And since your monsters are not heat-resistant as Shevaar, I could inject some of the thermo-drug with injector rifle.

 

[sacridshadow]

lol but it doens't work that way. It would just warm them up, and though it may slow down my ice creature, it probably wouldn't affect my others. although my aquaticus would be nice and warm. besudes, didn't you say that they were meant for you, not your opponents? We're kindof limited on supplies, since we all came alone.

 

[varsaigen]

yep. We don't exactly have freighters running back and forth, now do we? :/

*As the first of the ore came in, the machines moved themselves accordingly, moving down the tunnels they created, and pumping ore into vats for refinement. The rest of the machinery was ready to be assembled, and the drilling machines were set to create a cavern at a selected destination, where the refinery would be. Meanwhile, squads collected data and mapped the surrounding caverns, some leading to dead ends, others to new caverns.*

 

[sacridshadow]

*The three Ketairans got up early and went into the hole that led to the lake. They slid down and began exploring the cave. Nova pulled out an SCD and tossed it. "Come on out Aquaticus!" the dragon like crocodile appeared and turned to its master. "Aquaticus, I need you to search the waters for anything dangerous or suspicious." The crocodile nodded and slid into the water, quickly dissapearing from view. Nova pulled out another SCD and tossed it ahead of him. Out came Greyetric. "Greyetric, scout out ahead and come back if you smell anything." Greyetric howled and ran off into the darkness. Nova sighed. It'd been a long time since he'd done anythingl ike this. He pressed a button on his gauntlet. "Rane, do you guys see anything?"
"Sorry, nothing." Rane said. "Ok, thanks. I'm going to go on a little longer. I'll be back soon. When I get back, prepare the hover board. I'm gonna check out that center island."
"Copy that. Rane out."*

 

[varsaigen]

*Scans of the cavern system commence, as the drilling and collecting of the minerals continues. The spare equipement for the refinery is placed in a large cavern further into the mountain, and construction begins, though slowly, by the Construction and Repair Drone.*

 

[sacridshadow]

wow. Threedays, and not a single post. DX This post was started before var's since I was interrupted for a couple hours.

*Nova reached a corner and headed back to the hole. Greyetric had come back with nothing to report, and followed Nova. Nova got to the entrance and waited there for Aquaticus. "As soon as we know there is nothing dangerous down there, I'm going across. If he finds food down there, that'd be great."
"I hope so, but part of me hopes there is nothing down there." said Rane.
"Why? You think some huge fish is going to eat you?" Nova laughed.
Rane grunted and sat down. He pulled out an instrument that was shaped like a harmonica and began playing. "No sense in just waiting, right?"
"heh heh. I guess so. Play away." The bird continued to play, and the song reverberated along the walls and the song echoed back to them.
"Sounds awesome." Nova said. "I bet everyone's enjoying this."*

 

[varsaigen]

lol... underwater, and enjoying the music that echoes into the depths of the lake

 

[StormWarriors2]

i'm back : D

 

[varsaigen]

so post

 

[Tleno]

*Tleno wakes up, Shevaar is still sleeping, looks like he's really tired. Still. Slacker*
Tleno: *Gets up* Get up, Shevaar. I think I hear something coming from cave.
Shevaar: *Sleepy* Ohhhhhhhhh.... maybe its just wind? Can I sleep at least for a while?
tleno: You've been sleeping for 8 hours already! But you're right, seems its just a wind... by the way, looks like we need more supplies, we took food only for few days so it would be easier to climb. I'l plant a radio emmiter here and drone's will drop us some supplies... *Grabs his backpack and takes out round shaped object that would more look like a mine and activates it*

 

[varsaigen]

lol... your in for some fun XD
welp, new day, new post for me

*As the structure begins to be built, the refinery takes shape, slowly being made. As it reaches night time, the scouting parties return, and guards are positioned at the entrances to the other caverns while the rest sleep in a secondary cavern to escape the wind and cold*

 

[sacridshadow]

*Aquaticus slid out of the water and walked towards it's master. Nova saw him and asked, "Did you find anything?" Aquaticus nodded. He dropped some fish from his mouth and Nova moved in. Poking the small fish, Nova said, "well, looks like there's life down here, but it's not very big."
"Yep. Too bad they aren't larger. They're wayy too small to eat." said Rane.
"Yeah. Rane, get me the hoverboard. I'm going across."
"What? now?"
"Yes. Now."
Aquaticus and Greyetric went into their SCDs. Huntrash was sent out and Nova gave his commands. Huntrash floated across the water to the island and began scouting. In the meantime, Rane was climbing the tunnel to go fetch the hoverboard.*

 

[varsaigen]

*The refinery began to take shape, as minerals were pumped out, and manually refined to create the basic materials needed to form the refinery. Once the refinery was made, much purer materials could be made*

 

[sacridshadow]

hey people! You guys need to post. We can't have it as var and me being the only active people. If you don't post, we won't get much done and this RP won't be active much. It just started, please don't let it die already.

 

[Tleno]

Oh... wait, is there is somebody ouside the cave? Or just inside?
Now with shevaar we are already getting closer to the cave...

 

[varsaigen]

Well, there is a squad of marines at the ship, about a half mile below the cave entrance, and the other teams are already in the cave

 

[Tleno]

Looks like we are gonna find out we're not alone only in cave... unless you detect us earlier...

 

[varsaigen]

didn't detect You climbed an area out of veiw from the transport As for the cave... well, we shall see

final two actions for the day (had 1 earlier which was really just a continuation of the construction )

*The squads get up, have their meals (rations ) and go back to security and scouting assignments, learning more, mapping the cave.* Maybe I'll have a base completed for my birthday (lol)

 

[sacridshadow]

lol wouldn't that be funny. well, I have an island to explore soon, so I don't expect too much activity from you guys, even though it'd be nice if you guys stayed active, instead of dissapearing for days on end. XD

 

[Tleno]

Looks like I will get back to Marie drunk. Or shot. depends from your mood...
*Tleno and shevaar are already neat to cave*
tleno: So here is the cave! No I will just deploy another beacon so we could orientate in XYZ system if we would get lost... *Activates another beacon, it starts to beep, meaning that it works. Tleno grabs an eyepiece from his backpack* It works, we should go now...
*Tleno goes towards rhe cave, Sheevar follows him*
