    kara: *makes a soft merp sound still face down on the floor mumbling something about pancakes.*

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

    mira: i should get back then if things are all handled here.

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

    kenzie: not sure what a basilisk war droid is... but the biggest thing that ive fought is a scarab, they're these large four legged walkers that stand around 120 feet tall. they're operated by a bunch of covenant troops. its got a forward facing main gun that fires a beam that can take out just about anything in a few seconds and the only way to destroy then is to board it and destroy its core which is hard enough for spartans let alone the rank and file marines. ive got 4 scarab kills under my belt along with 25 zealot elites, 30 brute chieftains, and 15 hunter pairs. ive lost count on how many others ive killed.

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

    jorin: *force leaps into the air activating his jetpack as he scans around for any signs of a krayt dragon.*

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

    valendria: *nods handing her a padd.* this is a training regiment to harden your body, every other day when you wake up do everything on the list and then before you go to sleep as well for two weeks. on your rest days i will teach you what i know of hand to hand combat and then how to properly swing a melee weapon. if i find you're ready then i'll show you how to use and control your abilities. but first things first. *she holds her arms open.* throw the hardest hit you think you are capable of.

    T'Lera: I can do pancakes. *She starts getting the supplies out, making pancakes from scratch*

    ***

    Henha: Keep in touch if anything else dangerous happens. *She nods towards Mira, before checking her wrist padd* Oh great, holodeck safeties are malfunctioning. *She rolls her eyes* I'm gonna go fix that before someone gets hurt.

    ***

    Reashe: A scarab kind of reminds me of an Imperial AT-AT then, massive troop carriers the Empire used.

    ***

    Janri: Alright... *She looks uncertain for a moment, then decides that Val can probably take whatever her punches would be, or that Val is going to counter her, so she pulls back and throws a haymaker with all the enhanced strength she can muster*

    kara: *after hearing about the pancakes her tail starts to sway happily as she purrs on the ground.*

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

    mira: will do. *she says walking away.*

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

    kenzie: well they're sort of sentient in a way... its hard to explain but scarabs are operated by the same species as hunters. im no xenologist and i dont know their names but they look normalish until you get close and find out its actually a bunch of worm things forming a large bipedal alien... if that makes any sense.

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

    valendria: *as if being able to read her movements she brings her arm up deflecting janri's arm and grabbing onto it as she brings her elbow to janri's neck stopping just shy of impacting.* haymakers are well and good but its best for when your opponent is disoriented.

    (Well waiting for a response in the Hur'q battle, so that is on hold until Rattler or Shadow does something...)

    Freeman: what the hell.... Okay.... anyways.... hopefully the paint will be done drying soon.

    ***********

    Bri: I kinda want waffles.... or if you do pancakes, Something with chocolate.... oh and bacon! actual bacon, y'know, thick cut.... I hate thin bacon... or just some kinda meat... Kara can you just open a portal under you and land back in bed?

    T'Lera: I can do both, shouldn't be too hard. *She smiles at Kara being silly, the room filling with the smell of the cooking pancakes, waffles, and thick bacon*

    Reashe: Hard to describe.

    Rax: Think like a giant monstrous lizard, some of them bigger than the ship we're inside of right now.

    Janri: In my defense you said hardest hit, not smartest. *She blows a raspberry* But I get your point.

    Freeman: I'm gonna do my best to stay to the sky with my jetpack.... sometimes I wish I had a Z-6 since those models have a rocket launcher integrated into the pack. but the one I use does not... I don't regret using a JT-12C. It was made for the clone army of the republic, I bought one on Nar Shaddaa after a group I was with took part in a.... mercenary competition? Merc Olympics? whatever you wanna call it. It was for a Hutt that ran a casino.... Its been a reliable model... Gods, I'm rambling like dad....

    kenzie: so does anyone have heavy ordinance besides me? i dont know what my spartan laser would do against something like that tho.... *she pauses for a moment as her ear twitches towards the ship entrance* we have guests. *her nose flares, sniffing the air.* and its not jorin.....

    Rax: I've got a few weapons that could hurt one, but it depends on how big it is, they have a weak spot on their skull that's pretty vulnerable.

    Clea: Who could it be...? *She looks curious* Shall we greet them? *She looks over at Kenzie, wanting to peek her head out*

    Janri: I'll be giving it my all. So are you going to be watching over my training the whole time? *She looks thoughtful*

    kara: need food.... then i can think..

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

    kenzie: *puts her helmet on and hoists her spartan laser onto her shoulder.* im not sure who they are, i heard footsteps heavy ones maybe 6 of them i could be wrong tho. *she looks down at reashe.* if it comes to shooting stay behind me alright?

    *from outside the others can hear a few voices, its too quiet to be deciphered.*

    valendria: i'll be around for your training but the upkeep of your body, shelter, clothing and food will be yours to handle. *she throws janri a strange looking device with a single button on it.* if you ever feel your life is in danger then push that button and i will be there.

    ***

    Reashe: I will Kenzie. *she nods, sticking close to Kenzie but behind her.*

    Rax: I'll take point then. *He puts his helmet on, walking over to the ramp and starting to head out to take a look at their "guests".*

    ***

    Janri: Thanks Val. I guess I'm going to have to figure out how to make fur clothes unless you're expecting to pop in on me with a bunch of holes in this. *She tugs at her shirt* I might've brought something warmer to start off with if I knew we were coming to a frozen land.

    kenzie: what the hell is he doing.... *she walks close behind him*

    *around 6 armored figures are visible, from their silhouettes they appear to be wearing beskar. one of them chuckles.*

    ???: woah hold on there, put the rifle down before you hurt yourself. *he looks over at rax and then the spartan looming on the ramp.* cant say i was expecting this..

    kenzie: who are you and what do you want?

    Freeman: *he sighs relieved, lowering his Rifle* Forgive me, I was told unknowns were coming and I thought it either Tuscans or those who would be scared by Tuscans, not to mention the new paint of my armor is still drying, Improvising was my first thought *he puts a hand back, trying to signal to kenzie to calm* Ni dinu ner gaan naakyc, jorcu ni nu copaani kyr'amur ner vod *he smiles* Come in, tell us of your travels! *he slings his rifle over his shoulder and gestures into the ship, lightsaber hanging on his belt*

    *multiple railgun rounds impact the nearest enemy dreadnought, ripping clear through its semi-biological (don't recall if it was ever stated Hur'q hulls were fully biological or not, but they certainly LOOK biological) hull and damaging all manner of internal components - and some unlucky Hur'q as well - just as the torpedoes catch up and impact...and suddenly local space flares up with the intensity of a new star being born as several nuclear detonations go off in rapid succession, the intense heat virtually atomizing the dreadnought and leaving little behind once the flash clears - the smaller ships fare no better, one Vridyat being ripped apart by a heavy railgun round and sending tons of high-speed debris and shrapnel flying in all directions as its core breaches*

    kara: so whats on the list for today?

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

    adin: well originally we were here to reclaim this place from what ever was here, i heard rumors of some upstarts from clan krayt pushing around the locals and being general as*holes so i thought to use this place as a base of operations as we investigated. you seem to be the only one of your clan we've found so care to explain whats going on with that?...

    kenzie: seems like it *she says to clea as she sets down her spartan laser but keeps an eye on the rest of the other mandos. some of them are trying not to stare at kenzie and reashe, while the others are looking over at rax examining his armor from a distance.* you know if you're curious just ask... its better then pretending not to stare.

    viszla mando: *the same woman from before pipes up looking at kenzie and reashe.* ive never heard of a spartan before or seen another woman of your stature.... *she looks to raeshe.* and are you chiss?

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

    valendria: a cave would be a decent place, just consider what you're close to. if theres a source of wood, water, and food nearby.

    Nick: Why is he using nukes? Its weak and just leaving a mess of radiation. Gee people evacuating your home, hope you never wanna come back cause we're covering it in Nuclear fallout! *he groans* at least our shielding is up and we're nowhere near it.

    The Tepes continues to mop up surviving Hur'q

    ***********

    Freeman: We heard about the upstarts too, so we took care of them. If they were to use our clan name with such disgrace, they're not even worthy of being called dar'manda. if you want proof, the bodies should still be smoking at this point.

    ***

    Rax: Some Imperial Remnants were pretending to be members of Clan Krayt, while extorting the town. Their true goal was to lure us into an ambush, but we managed to weather through it.

    Reashe: Yes, I'm chiss. I don't really try to hide it, I'm Mandoa first and chiss second, I was exiled by my people for certain... beliefs I held they didn't agree with.

    Janri: Is the whole planet frozen like this? Wood is probably going to be a bit difficult to find, I'll need to be careful on that front... I think I can manage water and food alright atleast.

    kara: contribute to what exactly? *she looks a bit confused.*

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

    adin: hmm, while it is reletivly common knowledge that clan krayt has been a thorn in the imperials side for some time i have to wonder why they would do this.... by the way are you planning on claiming this keep? i had scouted it out before but you were the ones to clear it out.

    viszla mando: ive never actually seen a chiss in person before, and you follow the path of mandalore. are you with clan krayt as well?

    kenzie: *rests her forearm around reashe as she stands next to her.*

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

    valendria: there's an alpine forest about seven miles to the south of here and a frozen lake near the trees that you can get water from. its up to you if you want to stay in the cave or move closer to those resources.

    T'Lera: I don't know... I just... I want to be able to do more, if I ever get in a fight I want to be more capable than I am now, and magic would be a way to do that.

    ***

    Rax: This is actually my homestead. It's a bit of a long story, the Sand People had claimed it while I was... away, much of my stuff was in disrepair when we arrived. Depending on how things go I might allow the Tuskans to take it back, though I was hoping it would once again be a home for Mandalorians.

    Reashe: Yes, I'm a somewhat recent initiate with Krayt, I know my kind aren't super common outside of our space, so we stand out.

    ***

    Janri: I think I can work with that, with my strength I could potentially work out a method to get those supplies back here.

    viszla mando: well you chose a fine clan to join. *she looks over to kenzie* so you look like you're pretty good in a fight.

    kenzie: where i come from spartans were so terrifying and respected by the enemies of humanity that we were called demons. me personally yeah i can hold my own in a fight.
