In the year 2596 A.D., the crew of the Earth Defense Fleet Ship Socrates are investigating a nebula, that may contain an unlimited source of energy. Lt. Elazar and Three other science officers are aboard the shuttlecraft, inside the nebula.

Strange readings come from the nebula, and the ship along with the nebula itself dissapear into the unknown. The crew of the Socrates is befuddled.

Meanwhile, a long time ago in a galaxy far far away, the Republic ship Infinite Justice detects a newly formed nebula coming out of nowhere. Inside the nebula they find a small ship, with a knocked out crew.

Roman woke up suddenly to find himself lying on a bed in what looked like an intensive care ward, with his three other crewmates lying unconscious. He saw a strange blue skinned alien, with giant tentacle like things coming out of the back of her head, and flowing gently on a brown robe.

"They're humans all right, but their ship is of no configuration I have ever seen before . . . . . and all three seem to have no connection whatsoever to the Force." said the strange robed woman to a man in uniform, most likely the ships medic.

"I don't have any connection to the force either, what is so strange about that?" replied the medic.

"Every being has some connection to the force, no matter how insignificant, but there is no trace of the force within these people, how they are alive is a wonder. Also without any connection to the force, there is no way of knowing their intentions." said the woman with growing concern in her voice.

The Force, what is that?

With that last thought, Roman once again fell into unconsciousness.

"These are men allright but not any ordinary men. These human's are from the planet Earth" a man in jedi clothes said, walking next to the Twi'lek jedi. The man was in a jedi robe and looked at the men. "These men are from a primitive world that is unknown to the republic and the world is divided in many regions..." the man said again and looked the other Jedi. "I have been there myself a long time ago on a cover-up mission they call the Roswell incident" the man continued and then the medic said: "You were too close to be dead then, Tepe. Without you inside that rocket in the moon, you would be now in there and dead"
"You are right, but when something called eagle landed on their moon, I was on board and came out last. Well, my friend then recieved my message throught force and came to fetch me" Tepe said and then looked the men again.

Name: Aal'Kazar
Race, Gender: Humanlike male
Shuttle Crew Memba #2
He is very old and about his life before he joined the crew of the SOCRATES is nothing known.

After he heard the Jedi talking, he thought of the earth. It must be cruel to life there in this time. He whondered why two jedi are needed to finish this mission, although he was a brilliant sniper and hunter. Before his life on the socrates, he was a bounty hunter on a planet called Seroth, before he decided to make his way as a fighter for the republic, but he told no one that history, fearing he would be kicked out of the crew.

((Twi'Lek Jedi is now taken))

Name: Kuu'Ra
Age: 26
Position: Jedi Knight
Bio: Has been at the Jedi temple since the age of 2. Since then, has grown to be a very strong Jedi.

______________________________

What can this mean? Kuu'Ra thought to herself. The lack of the Force was very frightening to her and Tepe's explanation did little to calm her worry.

Hours later, Roman woke up, the conversation between the strange alien and the ships medic was still on his mind, but there seemed to be nobody inside the infarmary, except for himself and his unconscious crew.

Roman decided to take advantage of this situation, as he quietly put on his black uniform. He made his way to the door, until an alarm sounded, and 3 robots of origin unkown to Roman (medical droids), appeared and sedated him . . . . . . . .


P.S. Nobody knows about earth except the people from there (the shuttle crew), remember, this takes place a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. They appeared mysteriously out of nowhere. And the shuttle crew as of now, know nothing of this galaxy, or its people, or the force for that matter.

-------
Snake awoke, and saw two strange figures standing over him. His hand went immediately to his pistol, a SOCOM USP. He jumped up and aimed it at one of the strange aliens, who had some form of tentacles on its head.

"Whoa put that ****ing gun down, NOW"


Before a shot could be fired, an alarm sounded and 3 security droids came out the walls and took away the weapon

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?" he yelled, and he turned to Roman. "You didn't tell me about that!"

"I'm sorry, I'm not exactly FALMILLIAR WITH MY SURROUNDINGS"

No more shuttle crew members are available after the fifth one

Snake turned to the alien again.
"Who are you?" He asked.

"Calm down," Kuu'Ra said soothingly. "We don't want to hurt you. In fact, we are just as puzzled as your presence here as you seem to be."

"I don't think they'll care who we are anymore, we didn't make a good first impression did we?" said Roman in a distressed voice.

"That still doesn't answer our question," Said Snake gruffly. He had experienced many betrayals before, and as a result he was always careful when he met someone else.

Name: Craig
Age: 24
Position: Mercenary
Bio: A former Jedi Knight, was not satisfied with the limitations of being a Jedi and left the order, leaving his lightsaber as well, as rules stated, but later rebuilt a new one similar to his old one, but rarely uses it. He is equipped with two self-modified handguns.
---------------------------------

Craig awoke in one of the other rooms. He had been hired to help out earlier, when the shuttle had still been docked. He remembered only that, and nothing else. He got up, checked to make sure his weapons were there, and heard the voices of the other crew. He stepped out into the hall and looked around.

"Where's our shuttle, please tell me, and if I can possibly contact our homeship?"

Kuu'Ra noticed Craig and motioned for him to come over.

"Help us out, please," she said, remembering that Craig was very good at calming people. "These people are very suspicious of us. I'm sure that's no surprise, but we want them to understand that we mean no harm."

She turned to Snake. "My name is Kuu'Ra and this is Craig."

Impatient at not getting question answered, Roman yelled "WHERE IS OUR GODDAMNED SHUTTLE?"

"Oh...Great, i so gonna demand a raise..."
Will looked up from his bed and fell out of the bed upon seeing the jedis
"WHAT THE F***KS THAT?"

"Your ship is landed in our docking bay," Kuu'Ra replies. "It is heavily damaged and we are attempting to repair it, but it is a slow process since we do not know your technology."

Turning to Will, Kuu'Ra felt slightly insulted. "My name, sir is Kuu'Ra. I am a Twi'Lek. Your manners leave something to be desired."

"You can excuse our manners, how would you feel waking up in a foreign ship, and being attacked by flying robot things?"

Remembering the alien,, he asked "What did you mean when you said we had no connection to the force. it think that is what is called?"

"I'm sorry," Kuu'Ra said, "but the security droids were only doing what they were programed to, disarm anyone. As for waking up on an unknown ship, I can sympathize with you. I have done so a couple of times."

She paused. "The Force is an energy field that surrounds and penetrates everything. The fact that you have no connection to it is somewhat disturbing to me, if you can understand."

"Why is that so disturbing?" asked Roman, finally calming down.

"A connection to the Force is something that is a very natural thing to have," Kuu'Ra explained. "The fact that you do not have it could mean one of two things. First, you may have come from the past, where the Force had not come into existance. Second, you may be from the future, after the Force has been destroyed. The last option, you must admit, would be very distressing to those of us who have never lived without it."

"Future?, Time travel doesn't exist, it's all science fiction bull****. Excuse my language." replied Roman.

"Then how do you explain the differences?" Kuu'Ra asked, hoping that Roman would realize that time travel was the reason for the differences.

"The chronometer on my ship has a quantum dating subroutine, it should tell us the current year, if we did time travel, than the chronometer should not say that it is 2596."

"In that case, let me take you to your ship," Kuu'Ra said. "You are now well enough to do so."

She turned to lead him to the docking bay.

Roman was quick to get up and follow.

"So this force, what does it do exactly, other than surround us?"

“First,” Kuu’Ra said, “the Force provides our very life. Second, if a person is very connected with the Force, they can learn to use it as a very powerful ally.”

She removed her lightsaber from her belt and tossed it down the corridor. Using the Force, she brought it back to her hand. “You see?” she said. “The Force is a very powerful ally, if you learn to use it correctly.”

Roman had an astonished look on his face. "Can the force make a rabbit come out of a hat too?" said Roman mockingly. "Don't worry pal, just yankin' your chains, what you did was really quite amazing."

Craig was walking along behind Roman and Kuu'Ra, and a large Force energy was around him. As a student and Knight at the Academy, he had a very strong connection to the Force, and at times, even after he became a Knight, he had a hard time hiding it, this being one of those times. Craig went and calmed the rest of the people down, then returned to following Kuu'Ra and Roman.

Snake was unimpressed. He took out a cigarrete and lighted it.
"I've seen that twice before. Once with a telekenetic called Psycho Mantis, the other one with a knife magician called Vamp." He said, remembering the two incidents.

Tepe looked snake. "You've seen this too?" Tepe asked as Sanke's cigarette started to float away from his mouth and then to the wall and turn itself so it wasn't useful anymore for anything. Tepe looked snake's amazed look and walked infront of him

((Ok, ok. Maybe I got too carried away in the first post of mine, but let's forget allmost everything on it :p ))

[hm could someone plz sum up all things happening.. in germany it was night when you wrote all that.. and it was pretty much ]

Aal'Kazar walked to over to the docking bay, after hearing their discussion and thinked about their mission

"It's all the same, optical illusions, light and smoke." He said. Meanwhile next to him Otacon whispered "I don't think it's any illusion Snake."

Craig turned and with a quick jerk of his hand, lifted Snake off the ground slightly. He smirked at him, then dropped him back onto his feet. "Tell me when you start believing." He turned and continued to follow Kuu'Ra

"Well, i've seen telekinesis before, so that really doesn't impress me, can the force do anything else, or is it just a bunch of magic tricks like pushing someone?"

Tepe walked to Elezar and looked at him as the group stopped. "You shall hit yourself on the head, softly" Tepe said with a calm voice, moving his hand slowly infront of his body. Elezar then hit his head and looked at Tepe, amazed what he had done without any thought about it.

"Damn that smarts, and you've made your point, but if you ever do that again, i'll cut off that hand of yours so you can't wave it anymore, you understand?" Roman replied, clearly angry about what just happened. "Anyways, after this is all over, i'll have to contact my superiors on Earth."

Nobody has ever heard of a planet called Earth (other than the shuttle crew), and they are clearly confused about what Roman is talking about?"

"Also I wanted to ask what is that cylindrical thing you're holding" Asked Roman pointing to the Alien's weapon.

After he saw one of the jedi threw another one on the floor, he was impressed. The other man made Elezar hitting himself at the head. He didnt want think about beating this men in a battle, even if he had his guns and all his weapons. The lightsaber was very dangerous he thought and looked at the others to follow them to the docking bay.

((((Joust courious.. Since we earthlings got no connection to the force, shouldnt we be immune to it?)))))))

((well, for the most part, we can still be pushed around and forced to slap ourselves, but i doubt they can use the force mind trick on us, or anything like that, they can't even read our minds like normal))

The group continued the travel and Tepe heard Elezar asking something. "You mean this..." Tepe asked, pointing at his blaster and continued: "...or this?" he asked and took his lightsaber under his tunic. "This, is a lightsaber. Used by the jedi's, Dark jedi's and the sith's" Tepe answered, igniting his lightsaber. Then he unignited it and put it back under his tunic.

"Interesting" Roman replied. Meanwhile he took out his EM dissapator unit, turned it on.

"Here is why energy based weapons are unreliable, try turning on your lightsaber again."

To Roman's surprise, the weapon functioned normally

"That is very odd, this EM dissapators should have distrupted your power source, they are used to neutralize energy based weapons, that is why we had to go back to projectile weapons, such as pistols and shotguns." Roman said. "Maybe you can give me a spare lightsaber to find out what makes it immune to my dissapator unit, if its possible."

"That is not possible. Jedi never gives his lightsaber to someone stranger. But maybe it is because of the crystal that gives the colour and some of it's power to the lightsaber. Oh, and you know why your guns are unreliable? Shoot me on the head" Tepe said.

Aal'Kazar saw the one man showing his saber. Finally he got enough of all those posing jedi. He took out his mini stouker and showed it to them, looking at the indicator which showed the energy of the weapon. "This" he said slowly "is a stouker. One shot and you are dead, if you get hit. And be sure, i hit all my targets." The Jedi seemed not to be very much impressed and the cдptain already knew the powerful weapon, but he still feared it. Only thing Aal' reached was silence for a short time.

"...and", Aal' added to break the silence, "stouker works all the time" in a baby like language.
