A man in combat armor peered through smoke and sparks into the wreckage as one of his comrades shined a bright light on the subject in question -

A pale-skinned, hairless man in some sort of flight suit, golden blood trickling from several recent wounds.

    This one, I'll admit, is the most interesting of the Incursion stories.

    • Scrap current Lock Box & Lobi system for something more reasonable

    Whatever you pay Mr. Reed for his work, it's not enough. Seriously great story. Will there be a part 2?

    Day 8

    Vrell opened his remaining eye slowly and found himself back in his cell once more.

    “The man from the stars returns,” said Ajai from his cell. “Worse for wear, sadly.”

    The Na’kuhl forced himself to sit, despite the sharp pains that wracked his body, and regarded his fellow prisoner. “They took your beard. Why did they take your beard?”

    “They didn’t like my answers to their latest questions,” said Ajai. “I think I might have touched a nerve in the little one… Cooley? Cooper. I can’t tell the two of them apart.”

    “Cooley is the one with the growth on the end of his nose. Cooper is the dullard with one eyebrow.”

    “So you say,” replied Ajai with a grin. “Then it was Cooper who took offense and relieved me of my luxurious beard. A crime I hope to avenge one day.”

    “The list of crimes in need of vengeance grows quite long,” said Vrell. “I propose a joint venture on our parts when it comes to meting out this justice. Otherwise, we might fall to old age before we finish.”

    Ajai blinked, and then let his booming laugh fill the air.

    “Agreed! An eminently sound plan, sir. And which one of them shall we deal with first?”

    “I plan on starting with Cooley. He owes me an eye.”

    an eye, you say...i think i may have seen this particular na'kuhl ingame​​

    This one was super super cool.

    This Na'khul said DAMN the temporal war, I want Colonel Green. It just became personal. I dig that.

    Get these blogs into the game somehow and pay Mr. Reed a ton of money to craft an entire arc story line and stuff. Because the man certainly earns his keep.

    I dunno about that...
    Day 21

    Vrell opened his eyes – one for the first time.

    “It’s the same lovely shade of red,” said a grinning Ajai. “I was quite specific with the cyberneticist about that. I trust you approve?”

    If they hadn't of gotten there timelines messed up, it might have been an interesting read. The Eugenics Wars ended before 2000, and Colonel Green and his men were from WW3 which happened sometime after the Bell Riots in the late 2020s.

    It's called a retcon. And putting the Eugenics wars and Greene together makes a lot more sense than having it in the 90's

    Just like Shakespeare in the original Klingon,
    here comes Moby TRIBBLE in the original Punjabi.

    That was a great read, indeed. Tipped hat to the writer.

    < One brain washed operative as ordered sir>
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
  • megawolf0megawolf0 Member Posts: 114 Arc User
    Good read. Wondering if this will lad to an episode and wonder if in some other alternate universe if by chance the augmented humans are ruling Earth and have their own Empire. Guessing the Klingnons in that universe will have a worthy opponent.
  • lorne12lorne12 Member Posts: 90 Arc User
    I'm a little bit confused: Khan was in the 1990s where the Eugenic Wars took place but Green was something arround 2040-2060 (WW3), so this situation with the Na'kul either takes place in the Eugenic Wars which would make Green very old in the 2040s (and from what we've seen from him in TOS and ENT he wasn't hat old then) or it takes place in WW3 but that would make me ask why are there any augments then.

    Yeah, this story is awesome, well written and VERY interesting. But that timing issue is kind of an awkward faux pas. Someone mentioned retconning, but that doesn't dismiss established canon.

    That being said, again, it was a great story. Thanks!
