And here we go again!
Cantina 12....
It is a period of civil war
Rebel Spaceships, Striking from a hidden base
Have won more victories against a corrupt republic
As DEAC STARKILLER searches for his daughter,
Lokpihet moves to destroy the Aesir
And once again return the galaxy to IMPERIAL RULE
Now, the forces of good must unite
To turn the tide of evil back once and for all...
*Terra: Demon Galaxy*
*The Black winged Demon stands near a window, looking outside to the city that was once a desolate field centeries before. He remembered before he became leader of the majority of the population of this world, and leader of thousands of leaders whom which his race and alongside of the human race became tolerant even sometimes by meny not caring if they form a family of a sort with any demon.
Even though that all demons whom even going throug selective breeding hardly live longer then then 150 years before rapidly aging, then death within decade or so.
Except for him, he's being alive and well for over 5 hundred years. He even remembered his own half brother whom came to become legend, long dead, murdered in his fight agenst his own kind.
Behind the Winged Demon a young demon, with a set of his own black wings, but he bore a mane and a snake like tail. His name was Chimera.*
Chimera *knelling at his superoir* "Lord Talon, reports just came in, we have operitives in the other galaxy in as meny as Twenty planets and colonised as meny as 5."
*Colonising planets had been taking place for neatly three hundred years, with the tallents of demons with the ability to control gravity, creating small wormholes for instant travel to other planets. Them along side of other demons that assist with telepathical abilities, they search for planets either with life or if any planet is able to support life.
Ususaly a team of a few demons land on the planet, take a quick survey, then report back, to only return with at least over a dozen sometime two dozen humans, whom volentary employment was to find sites to mine materials to support a growning empire.*
Talon *turning around* "Grandson, you don't have to bow before me."
*Chimera stands.*
Chimera "I only do so out of respect."
*Chimera, grandson to Talon, had lost his parents early in his life, Talon supported the young demon whom carried a gene which also allowed him to live past a typical demon's live span.*
Talon "I want to know what sorts of technology they have in their Galaxy, see if we can either backwards engineer anything or copy their technology to something more in our use."
*Chimera nods and leaves, quickly he's ackompanied by his gaurds who awaited outside*
-------
*Lokpihet's SSD*
*F Irvine meditates in his quarters, attempting to harness any sort of telepathic abilities that should ackompany in wielding the force. Although he lacks in moving ovjects, he can sense strange phomeneons taht occur in the space while in hyperspace, fiant that it was...*
*Greer checked Caruso's name off the list. It seemed to be all of the members he'd assembled, he didn't want a large team anyway, just the basics.*
((HAHAHA! Okay, um...BEST CANTINA TITLE EVER. :D))
Somewhere in the Outer Rim
*Farran stands in the middle of a field on a grassy planet. Artemis is next to him. Kioet is nowhere to be seen*
Artemis: Do you think they'll be coming?
Farran: Of course. They said they would.
Artemis: What about that Trandoshan?
Farran: Maybe he's late. Maybe he changed his mind. Maybe he made other plans with the Shadows which no longer involve us.
Artemis: I suppose we're using up our last chance to back out?
Farran: I suspect there won't be any backing out for us anymore. Too many people know about us now. There's nowhere left to hide.
*A light appears far away in the blue sky. A ship, coming into the atmosphere*
Artemis: Here they come...
----------
Warp Space
*Rwos' black, blue and violet ship coasted the mayways of nowhere in particular. He listened to the message on his comlink*
Rwos, the Council finally brought up the subject on what to do about Universe Star-1138. Reason I'm telling you - well, I hear since you weren't available, they made a tentative decision without you. They're sending an official detachment to Star 1138's main galaxy. Ida - you know her, right? - will be one of the dispatchees. They've got a specific agenda, which involves retrieving some dangerous "rogues" - mage K'Warra and that former Blade we've heard about. They also are real big on cutting off the Shadow expansion there. There's other stuff too, I'm sure, that I haven't heard.
I'm sure they'll be telling you this - maybe they've already told you - but I figured I'd better tell you too, so you're forwarned. Just in case.
- Adriana
P.S. You still owe me.
((^Another THX-1138 refrence))
((So red tells me after i mentioned it to him over AIM))
[Hey- you try coming up with names for these things!]
((It is a good name, and deciding names on these can be hard))
Asgard: Tournament grounds
*Odin and his family sat in a spacious booth watching the games and enjoying each others company. Currently Odin was watching aerial combat.
Large screens displayed the view from the cockpit of each fighter while a holographic projector showed the overall fight. Odin didn't have a paticular favorite in this paticular one. It was still entertaining to watch the dance of the Raptor fighters as each pilot tried to score 5 points with reduced lasers in a thirty minute battle. If time ran out before a pilot reached 5 points who ever had the most points would be declared the victor. Only direct hits counted in this contest. Although when the Einherjar competed the rules were modified that any miss would subtract a point.
Currently the score was at 4-3 The pilots were evenly matched and only a minute remained.
As the Raptors contiued their entricate dance Odin thoughts drifted toward the unvieling of tonights latest weapon. It was a new fighter named the Viking MKII. Odin was looking forward to showing that off. Hirst and Svafa would be flying two Vikings and apparantly they had something special planned. Neither would tell him what it was.*
*Deac and Hal's ship revertes to Realspace over Tellacos.*
Hal: *Opens channel.* Come in Tellacos Ground, this is YT-2000 Transport Coronet Star, requesting landing clearance.
*Turns to Deac.*
We're using a fake ID on the way in. In theory this planet is loyal to us but I'm not taking any chances.
----------------------------------------------
*Greer's comlink beeps.*
*Greer answered the comlink*
Greer: Greer here.
Deac: Makes sense. Do you sense anything?
----------------------------------
*Across the Galaxy, Lokpihet stands before Elella, hanging from the ceiling by chains*
Lokpihet: You'll come to see things my way.
Elella: You raped our homeworld!
*Lokpihet blasts force lightning at her*
Hal: Nothing overtly threatening, but then they don't know who we are.
Comm: Coronet Star, what's your cargo?
Hal: We're carrying duresteel inggots. Transmitting manifest now.
*Pause.*
Comm: Recieved, prepare to be scanned, stand by.
*Pause.*
Comm: You're cleared Coronet Star. Set your autopilot to the becon and land at pad fourteen.
Hal: Much ablidged, locking autopilot in now, E.T.A. 5 minutes. Coronet Star, out.
*To Deac.* Lets hope they don't suss us now.
((Cantina 13 - A New Pub
Cantina 14 - The Hangover Strikes Back
Cantina 15- Return of the Beverage!))
((Deac: I was being serious. I love the title. :D
*stabs Scar* ;)))
((And i was making fun just now
*recieves the stabing*))
Sellena: Jim, I want you to come up to my office, you'd better bring your team as well, you're going to want to see this.
----------------------------------------
*The YT-2000 lands at the main spaceport, the ramp lowers and as Hal and Deac de-bark Drago is there to meet them.*
Greer: Got it.
*Greer walked to the room where he had assembled everyone to rest before the briefing. He signaled them to follow him and they all went to Sellena's office.*
Deac: Where is she? *He notices that there is no-one there*
--------------------------------------
*Lokpihet has returned to the bridge. Malice hands him a datapad*
Malice: I dug this up. CyberEyes had it in his database. Something Tafon Norl was cooking up around the time Deac got captured....
*Lokpihet reads it over*
Lokpihet: Make it happen.
[Tafon Norl- Only Redwing should remember him all the way from Cantina 2!]
*Once everyone has arrives Sellena activates the holo-projector.*
Sellena: This went out on the 'net about 10 minutes ago.
*The image resolves itself into a female Coruscant news anchor.*
Anchor: Today it has been anounced that the Senate has granted emergancy powers to acting Presidant Tar Redris. The Senator from Tannab now holds direct command authoriety over all branches of the executive. We are now linking up with our expert on constitutional affairs outside the Senate Rotunda, Dr Alinak Cre'nes
*The Picture cuts to a middle aged Bothan with rdish fur and blue eyes.*
Alinak: Thankyou Alinor. Obviously this is a drastic step, in the current situation however, it may be the right move. Lets not forget the last time the Senate voted to invoke an emergancy powers statute.................
*Sellena hits the pause button and the image freezes.*
Sellena: No, lets not forget. Obviously your previous mission has just been scrubbed. I have a new one for you but first I want you thoughts on this.
Jim?
*F Irvine marches right onto the bridge*
F Irvine "We've altered course. I don't want to sound demanding Lokpihet, but I'd like to know, I've been meditiating on a few plans to aquire technology..."
Greer: This definetely renders the last mission impossible. But I'd still like to extract Qwera. She claims to have information that is valuable to us at this time.
((Tafon Norl? The cloner from C2? Woo continuity porn :D
Did I just say "continuity porn"? Geez...been hanging out with Angel fangirls for a bit too long :D))
Outer Rim Planet
*A gray ship lands in front of Farran and Artemis. The hull doors open. Lily Aren disembarks, dressed in her "business" attire, flanked by two Shadow-uniformed guards*
Aren: So, Kasen and Omicron? You've decided to accept? Well, I suppose we're both in luck, then. We need your help already.
Rebuilt Cantina on Tatooine
*Kioet is drinking his last credits, almost literally*
Kioet: I hate making decisions. Everytime I decide something...
*Kioet finishes his drink, and takes notice of a young woman watching him*
Kioet: That's about it. I've just had it with people watching me like I'm some kind of experiment just ready to explode... I'm just about out of credits too, dammit...
Kioet: I'll do a little gamble..If I could convince this young woman who has the nerve to stare at me like that to buy me a drink, I'll take orders from Farran and Artemis for now on. If she refuses, I'll just kidnap and interrogate, then dispose if necessary.
*Kioet stands up, and walks towards the young woman*
Kioet: Why are you staring, I'm thirsty. I've got no credits. The price for staring is a drink. No drink, no- *stun blaster goes off and Kioet loses consciousness*
young woman: hahahahaha. excellent.
*Kioet wakes up, breathing heavily*
Kioet: WHERE THE HELL AM I????? WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED!?!?!?!? WHERE'S MY DAMN ARMOR?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!? AND WHY THE HELL AM I IN A CELL?!?!?!?!?!?
*in a rage, Kioet begins ramming himself against the cell-door*
[Haha. Been diggin up old Cantina Stuff to use again...old trivia that no-one remembers.]
Lokpihet: We're going to look someone up. Someone with useful technology that could well help us. As the Aesir, they can wait.
*F. Irvine raises an eyebrow, but then turns around and walks back to his quarters for more meditiation.*
((hell i checked C2 just cus, darn someone needs to edit those "guests" :P
I can't tell where's red ^^))
((Well I can't edit them, being not a mod here :p
Wonders if we'll see the return of the Imperial Mind Matrix...or if I should bring back teleportermadness!-Rwos for old time's sake :D ;)
*will actually post, later - must run atm*))
*Deac is suddenly mobbed by all the continuity errors...*
*Drago bows his head.*
Drago: I lost her my Lord, she skipped the planet. I believe she is in Imperial space.
*After ramming into the cell door a few times, Kioet sits down in the corner of the room*
Kioet: SOMEBODY HELP ME OR YOU ALL WILL DIE!!!!!!!!!!
*somebody walks down the hallway*
Kioet: Who's there?
*a young woman steps in front of the door to Kioet's cell*
Kioet: YOU.
???: Actually...my name is Zey.
Kioet: Why am I in a cell? I did nothing wrong.
Zey: I need a bodyguard.
Kioet: All you had to do was buy me a drink and ask me back at the cantina. But you didn't, you just fricken blasted me and threw me in this cell. Why the hell do you need a bodyguard anyway? Did I forget to mention that I'm taken?
Zey: Why else would I have you in a cell? You sound as if you need to be somewhere. Do you need to be somewhere?
Kioet: YES. like...NOW.
Zey: ok, I'll let you go. Under one condition.
Kioet: ok! whatever! just name it.
Zey: I get to go with you.
Kioet: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Zey: what?
Kioet: oh, nothing. sure, come along I guess. I would like my armor back, and a comm...I have to contact my employer...Wait-Where am I, exactly?
Zey: You're still on tatooine, and inside my house.
Kioet: good. now, where's my stuff?
Zey: down the hall in the room on the left.
Kioet: great.
*Kioet stands up, walks past Zey, down the hall and into the room*
Kioet: good...it's all here.
*Kioet turns on the commlink*
Kioet: Farran, you there?!
Outer Rim Planet
*Farran picks up* Kioet? Is that you?
Aren: Your Trandoshan friend? I was wondering why he hadn't shown up.
*Deac is horrified*
Deac: What!? Where did she go?! When?! And why?!
Kioet: Yes, it's me. I've been out...how can I put this? recruiting...
Aren: Well then, Kioet, are you still interested in our offer?
*Farran gives her an annoyed look*
Kioet: damn right I am. You got the valuables I asked for, waiting for me to get them, right?
*Lokpihet's SSD arrives above a dark planet. Lokpihet views it out of the window and shudders, remembering that he once died below*
Lokpihet: Send out teams to search the facility for data pending to the installation facility.
Sellena: Yes you can extract her. You need to do it as fast as possible though. Things are hotting up.
*She hands Greer a disk.*
That's your contact information, memorise it and then destroy it.
You leave as soon as you're ready.
--------------------------------------------------------
Drago: My Lord, I know only that she has gone. To Imperial Space.
Flax: If she's gone to Imperial Space she might be trying to make a family connection.
*F. Irvine walks up behind Lokpihet*
F. Irivne "Whats down there that you are looking for?"
((Deac: wait, this is about one of my ideas that I pmed you about, cus i'm thinking that you implementing it in a different way of bringing them in.
cus if it is, good thinkin, cus now it'll be easier to actually 'do it' *twitch*))
Greer: All right
*Greer takes the disk*
Greer: So, are you guys ready?
*O'Connel, Caruso, and Perez nodded.*
Greer: I guess we're ready. Should Dasken and Miss Oscanap come?
Outer Rim Planet
Aren: *into comlink to Kioet* Yes, of course. However, you'll need to sign a contract if you want to go through with that deal. Of course, that means you need to be here...
[Uh...yes...F.Irvine can find it there]
*Malice hands Lokpihet a datapad*
Malice: I found the implementing technology. However, there will only be enough resources present to do this once.
Lokpihet: That is all I need.
Sellena: I'm sending Dasken with you. Oscanap now has another mission. Are you ready to leave now?
-------------------------------------------
Hal: Deac, do you suppose you can contact her through the Force?
Greer: We're ready whenever Dasken's ready. Just need to pick up our bags from our rooms.
((Darn! Looks like you guys are a bit far into this to be accepting new characters. Oh, well. If you all don't think you're too far in, let me know and I might just join you guys.))
((We accept all new comers!!))
((Hmm, If you catch up on the basic story, I think you can join.))
((Can somebody fill me in?))
((Well read the first post and you will get what is currently happening. Also read the last post(s) in the last cantina (Cantina 11) to get an idea.
Uh, there is a lot of history in this RPG.
Quick guide to fractions.
The Aesir controled solely by me, are an advanced race, who are suspicious, self appointed guardians to the galaxy, arrogant to nonAesir, like making fun of Irvine (:P). Live on hidden worlds, are isolationist, militristic (their big celebration is called the tournament). They love their mead, and other stuff.
The New Republic: They have become corrupted and tried to destroy Coruscant. This has caused another civil war.
The Rebels: They are the worlds who broke away from the republic. The leaders of the new rebellion are Flax, Deac, and some members of the old Rebel alliance. BD/Deac control this fraction. Obviously their enemy is the New Republic.
The Empire: Lead by Cracken (palpies son) has signed a peace treaty with the NR (before the civil war). Just fought it's own civil war because of the peace treaty. Cracken's loyalist destroyed the seperatist. This fraction is controled by Cracken (the charcter shares the same name)who is currently AWOL
ExtradimensionalsThrowing this as one fraction since they are controled by Redwing. They currently include the Blades and Shadows who don't like each other. Red can expand on this but think of it this way. Blades are cops, Shadows are criminals.
Lokiphet's fractionsControled by Deac, they are what remains of the seperatists I guess. They want to take over the world, kill Deac (again. :) )and well generally do evil things.
um, that is it in a nut shell. The Jedi I guess could be in one of those fractions besides the Aesir. To the best of my knowledge they are all controlable except for the Aesir and for Red's extradimensionals (if you want to join one of those you need to ask permision). I would not recommend starting with the Empire since Cracken is AWOL.
------------------------------------------------
Story: Was hinted at. The galaxy is in another civil war. The Aesir recently decided to withdraw some of their protection against outside threats and are currently in the midst of celebrating their Tournament.
Lokpihet and Fused Irvine are looking for stuff to conquer the galaxy.
Rwos is traveling in warp space trying to figure things out. The blood scrolls (which hold prophecies) remain somewhat of a mystery.
You should be able to start with this. I'm sure Red will be adding some stuff. The basic rules are no godmodding, and standard stuff.
Otherwise post a charcter bio and you will be worked in somewhere. Won't take long for you to figure things out, if you have specific question feel free to pm me, or contact me on MSN. Cantina has been going for a long time so you may want to read some of the ealier threads if you wish. Might help but by no means necessary.))
((Fused Irvine in a nutshell:
he is composed of two versions of WH Irvine (whom is a clone of Irvine, Cracken's son (on special request in making an interesting story, gone almost nowhere with Crackles gone)
One version is apart of this timeline, the other is from a timeline currently in process in PTH (an rpg that sprang up from Cantina 6) who ends up before the events of Cantina 7. The obviosuly older version (from PTH) becoems corrupted by an evil entity (someone else explain pls) and makes him 'fuse bodies' with his self. creating a more powerful being.
But the side effect is mental instabiltiy, he he.
-----
Now I'm introing a new race into the Cantina, which for a while will keep quite isolating themselves for the most part. They come from a parrell universe by which they use portals generated by emencely consenrated gravity.
In a nut shell they're practially demons, but not so unlike the hellish type :P (i base a quite a bit from InuYasha)
))
