    (Holding off on the Intel for now so there are less things for everyone else to catch up on. Nick is waiting for permission to come aboard so we can start the rescue sooner. And I'm getting close to passing out for the night)

    Briana: I suppose it can't be that bad.. let's go!

    ********

    McManus: Marvelous Alucard, absolutely Marvelous! *applauds Alucard's work* Send word to our ship and have them hunt down the craft that man came from. No one on this planet had any sort of possibility of surviving, so the only logical answer is he came from above.

    That cardassian dare call me a Xenophobe? That is not true in the slightest. It is humanity's place above all! But that won't stop us from working with aliens. Last I checked at least 25% of our crew was trill. Correct Alucard? Another 10% Andorian... 5% vulcan.... we have that Orion man still on the roster, correct? *trails off, muttering to himself, rambling on*

    (why do i get the feeling that, if onyx fails - which he technically already did - alex is going to need to bring in an even bigger force and every superpowered person still in the milky way to combine their power enough to be able to beat him?)​​

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

    (I mean if that is what you think. *shrug* what you said sounds awesome yet absolutely terrifying at the same time. And it is nowhere what I was thinking. In fact that kinda sounds way cooler than what I was thinking. But I'm gonna try to keep it relatively tame unless others dont care or actively want it. Which I assume they would care. A lot. And they probably don't want... Then again it would be an antagonist meant to be defeated, not stay a persistent force in the thread. So maybe? Not up to me really it seems.)

    (yeah...i already know the responses to that - seven will go for it, everyone else won't, because apparently 'faction-level' play diminishes character development, despite literally every sci-fi series ever that involves factional metabattles managing character development just fine)​​

    (So the federation allows cybernetic implants into everyone to be able to read the dizzing array of Alphabets and writing script? where are you going to have the translation, inside your brain? and the SW Aurebesh is not the Latin Script of the Federation)

    (Federation UTs are mainly not implants. They're mainly external ones such as for example, commbadges, and in earlier eras, communicators or dedicated devices for Universal Translation. There are some implants but I doubt they would be very commonplace in the federation. And yes, the pretty sure the translation would be in the user's brain. I'm not sure what you mean with that Latin line though.)

    (What she means is aurebesh is specifically designed to be as alien as possible.It didn't lead on to the creation of other languages like how latin became spanish, italian, and a few others today. It would be a lot harder to translate for someone who hasn't learned it and a universal translator is built into combadges but its only good for auditory language not written. But I assume like the glasses the federation has some kind of translator for written words.)

    *Seventeen gives the order and Nick is given permission to beam over*

    (And they're waiting on Radm Rose to join them for now)

    ***

    Ethrit: Well I'm the native here and it looks like Aurebesh is the same as ever. If you need something read just point me too it. Despite its looks all the words and pronunciation is pretty much the same as your... "English" though we have words you don't.

    ***

    Veronica: It will all work out hon... I'm sure we'll get Karter and everyone back.

    (Too tired to even argue.)

    Nick: *Beams over, looking around the transporter room, unsure of where to go now* yeaaah... not sure if I just stand here now or what.

    ************

    Briana: well I mean, I just read the sign for the bar. It says Rancor pit. That's why I'm kinda skeptical about it. Is it just an edgy name or is there a Rancor pit?

  • westx211westx211 Member Posts: 42,213 Arc User
    Ethrit: I'm gonna assume they don't. A place this shabby probably can't afford a proper pit to keep a rancor in and they have to be fed a ton of meat every once in a while. Pretty much only crime bosses should be able to have a rancor pit. Its probably just referencing that its a dangerous bar.

    Transporter Officer: *A female Suliban* Do you know the way to the conference room? the admiral was just complaining about it being easy to get lost on the ship.

Find that dead cardassian's ship... and while you're at it have them prepare a feast for me and the senior staff. and yes that means you too. You can feast on blood of that dead man's crew.

    *the bar is full of people of different species, the middle of the bar seems to be the most popular as some sort of gladiatorial sport is playing on a display around it with multiple mandalorians drunkenly cheering, theres even a few drunk storm troopers with their helmets off sitting at tables.*

    Karter breaks out of his stupor: Hell, that was a real loop. (Looks at Dee) Have i really been operating for over 4 billion years? I have, and I killed everyone.

    RAdm Rose: No, we got them, but they are in the databanks, Reigun was able to work his magic and created a way to use the transporter to save everyone by making them into data. But we need you to help us save them?

    Karter: That means you have to do it again, wont you.

    RAdm Rose: We knwo the process now, and you and Reigun would have to. I want you to go version of yourself 5 years after you last saw Jack and Amanda.

    Karter: Why?

    Radm Rose: We cant be precise about when Reigun did his experiment, but looking at the ship, he had to do it some time soon after you all figured out what was not going to happen. I know you did not go crazy till far later. With the recent updrades, you said that you wouldnt have the same problem for at least 100 years as before.

    Karter: It will take sometimes to purge it all, do you think it could be worth soemthing if

    RAdm Rose: Karter, its not worth your sanity, or ours. Ready, Karter.

    Karter: Ready, Boss. See you on the other side. Ready to revert to specified date on command.

    Radm Rose: Passcode: To forget past deeds is a gift like no other for the soul.

    Karter stops and know the datatransfer rate is 110%.

    Frar: Thankfully we allowed this buffer in our calculations, Dee. And its working.

    RAdm Rose has some tears down her cheeks as she looks at Veronica: Now its all in his hands. (looks at the commbadge) I so want to put that on the floor and smash it.

    Frar: Wont do it, but its a holodeck, so if you wanted to smash it, this is the place.
