The Game

[Rikimaru]

Simon looks up with shock when Babel shouts at him. His comorting words reassured Simon and he started to wipe the tears from his eyes.

While Babel was talking to Trustor Simon got up and wiped the tears from his eyes. He walks over to Babel and says:

"look i'm sorry about that. i just dont like seeing people fight. And to be honest i was concerned for you as well. you were really nice to me and that vanishing guy looked like he could lift a ton! i didnt want to see you get hurt even more thats all."

Simon looks around at everyone else.

"so... does anyone actually know what happened im so confused?"..

In the far night distance, a shadowy figure approaches quietly. It isn't only till 5 minutes within it's entrence into the atmosphere, did the sounds of the engines begin to sound. Soft, easy. Almost like the purr of a kitten. A high pitched whine accompinied it. You couldn't really see it to easily, if at all to begin with, it's hull being a mirror to anything and everything. The night supplying nearly no light gave stealthness to the small fighter's approach.

The pilot inside the fighter throttled the systems down, disengaging the main drives, and prepared to settle the fighter into a clearing. It wasn't to big, but all the more reasons to have the wings tuck back. The fighter's gears slid down their deployment too being nearly unseen. Then uncharateristically landing lights activated. A small Flood light spilling light onto the landing grounds as the fighter approached slowly.

A slight jarring told the pilot inside that the fighter had touched down, as the gears slowly compacted slightly under the weight of the fighter. The engines slowly whined down to a near deadness, the light's flicked off and the canopy flipped open.

Out jumped the pilot. Human seemingly. No fur, no animalistic charateristics. Neither was his fighter all that alien. Quite similar to the atmospheric fighters. A product of hasty jury rigging and sped up desgins. Though it was one of the best his race had to offer.

The human took a small pad out of his pocket. Switching it on, it spilled an eiry blue glow onto the human's face. He tapped at the screen quickly as if he knew the whole thing like the back of his hand.

"Oh, come on. There has to be something from command, at least the fleet. Not even a beacon. Where the hell am I? This doesn't look like home! How the hell did I get here?"

Turning off the pad and stuffing it away. The pilot then began walking towards the area where the computer had indicated something of a village. Not densely populated. It was also close to the base of the odd structure that led up to space.

[Bear Paw]

( Hey hey seems were back on line here excellent
OK ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE STILL WANNA PLAY??? speak now I suppose coz its the only way this is gonna work again  '> )

Babel looks around the stunned faces at the comotion that had just gone on he turns away " I suppose we gotta move this then" looking at the generator. He looked back at the door wondering what the others had heard and where doing.

[Rikimaru]

Simon walks up and stands next to Babel. He looks up at the towering bear and says:

"Yea i guess we gotta move this to get that thing working again, I'm in, who else is?"

[WhiteShepherd]

Ok I'm in.  '> *tail wags*  Lets give this another try. *pulls lawn mower string* *putt* *putt*

[Jalex Darnco]

After a bit of walking the human found a few lights through the trees, and some sort of clearing from the woods. The lights soon resovled to be windows, the soft glow of yellow light eminating from them. Wooden buildings... like buildings of long ago. It was like stepping back in time. Though the thing that caught my eye was a large mechanical looking object. Around it stood some odd creatures. I figured it was just the light playing with my eyes.

On approaching the small group I soon saw that the light wasn't playing. They where.... large animals.

I stopped in mid stride, gawking at the creatures. Like something out of a story, like what little kids read. But here they stand, like.... they were real.

The only words that escaped from my mouth were, "Oh.... my god."

[Bear Paw]

(( Connects the electrodes to it raises the antenna whoosh a lightning bolt travels down and into the game   " hahahaha its alive its alive hahaha"  the plot twitches)) Well it has been on hold for a bit Would anyone mind if i ran a campaighn thread on the main disscutions board might get a few to have a look our way )))

Babel looks down at the kid
"say you wanna go inside the bar n se if anyone there can lend a hand ok." Babel starts to poke around in the genarator better give it a check up by eye as well as scan can't be to careful with these things. It was at this point the proximity scanner in his arm picked something up and he heard a few words filter though to him . He moved back and saw a good way from him a figure he couldn't make it out to clearly but. He yelled in it's Direction
"Hello there "
" Friend or foe" not that it matterd to him at this point.

[Jalex Darnco]

My God! They talk to! I'm asleep. That has to be it, I'm asleep. How do I wake up?

I was nearly overtaken by the need to run from these fantasies. Creatures that shouldn't exist. Not in anything similar to that of animals on our planet. Then questions started to come. Why are they here? Why do they look like animals? Who were they? I have to be on an alien planet, but how did I get here? Where am I?

I took a look around me, seeing what was around, but there was nothing except the old fashioned cabins, the large hunk of metal and the creatures.... whatever they were.

I slowly walked forward, taking each step tentativly. Do I treat them like animals, or humans? Do they think like animals? I stopped, wait a minute... they spoke my language. What has happened to me, This is impossible. I am so dreaming. If this is a dream, go with it. That's the only way to do it, yes. They can't hurt you, they are figmeants of my imagination, that has to be it. It's the only way to discribe the situation.

And so I walked towards them, with a small candle of faith. I am dreaming and that's all. I am dreaming, and they can't do anything to me. This place doesn't exist.

[Bear Paw]

Babel watched carfuly he heard no reply from the figure befor him. It then started to to walk towards him. Babel no felt real unsure as it came close he saw it looked non to familiure like no race he had encounterd befor. He saw it looked a little confused " Hey hello there can you understand me whats your name ?. " He shouted out again and listend for a reply. This guy ( if it is a guy ) seems out of his mind . Babel put hjis hand in to his pocket and put his hand around his pocket staff just incase.

[Rikimaru]

Simon does what Babel says. He runs to the bar and asks a crowd of strong looking beings, which ranged from foxes to bulls if they wanted to help move a large generator. All but one of them ignored simon and that one approached him. Then out of nowhere this wolf that approached him just hit him for no reason, the crowd laughed and something seemed to snap in Simons mind. He drew his Desert Eagle and pointed it at the wolfs head, there was a lot of noise as the crowd saw this, but the wolf waved and they all sat down, this guy seemed to be the leader.

"Who do you think you are you little bastard?" the wolf asked

Simons rage was building up

"Well what'd yo hit me for asshole! All i asked was for some help!"

"I hit you because we dont do favours for little kids like youself"

As he said this, Simon lowered his gun and walked off, he headed outside and then the wolf threw a glass at him. This made Simon loose it and he turned around and shot the wolf in the hand, as he saw the blood, it reminded him of the attack. His mother flashed before his eyes and he dropped the gun, collapsed to his knees and looked at the gun on the floor, silent, motionless....

[Jalex Darnco]

At the sound of the only familer thing in my mind, I whipped out a small pistol from a holster, and quickly pointed it at the bear like creature. I don't care if this is a dream. Training kicks in anywhere. Before I new it I was ready to pull the trigger. The weapon whining in my hands.

"Look... I don't know who you people are, or what the hell you are, but I only want to get home."

Then something clicked. I saw a smaller creature, maybe younger, run off towards one of the buildings. That's where the gun shot came from. I decided to head that way. Slowly.

Keeping my eye, and pistol on the bear, I stepped sideways and slowly headed towards the building. On reaching the building I saw the small creature, more light this time, but now, there was actually a whole room, in broad light, of these creatures. I then saw the weapon, Archaic, ballistics style. Well, not too old, but still a bit older then the phase pistol in my hand. Wait.... Don't pay attention to the gun, pay attention to the holder. Wait a minute, what about the people outside. Damn, I'm not paying attention. This maybe a dream, but I would rather have a nice dream rather then a nightmare.

Though it was already getting there.

[Bear Paw]

At he sight of the gun Babel froze " Woah there easy now holding his hand up. " Im kinda allergic to gun fire"
He let the man pass looking closely at what was being pointed at hi,. *basic pulse pistol * he though *cant disable remotely dam*. He watched him cross to the door seeming to follow the kid. * Oh no you don't not gonna be harming him * he thought, and he dropped his hands.
" Just who the hell you think you are pointing that thing at me !! " he shouted walking VERY slowley towards the character . " Hey you leave that kid alone ya hear " Still approching slowly with a simple thought comand he charged his arm to full hopefully deliver enough puch to knock him flat out for a bit. As long as he could get within touching distance. " HEY IM TALKING TO YA SLIME BAG !! " All the while slowly walking towards him as he was distracted .

[WhiteShepherd]

Moved on request.

[Rikimaru]

Simon regains himself and runs out of the bar among the other buildings, he finds himself in a room, slightly lighter than the outside and sits down there, staring at the gun, he hears slow footsteps approaching the room, he looks up and sees another being of somesort, this guy seemed to lack fur and looked completely alien.

"errr... what do you want?" Simon stutters...

[Jalex Darnco]

"Look... Umm.. People. I don't want a gun fight here... If you would just see it from my perspective, I've just appeared here, out of some unusual circumstance. One moment I was fighting aliens that came out of nowhere, the next I find myself in an alien.... solar system. Animals running around... ummm people that look like aliens er.. animals... and they are speaking my own language... This is scarying the crap out of me okay? Now... Umm.. I'm putting my weapon down. I have no want to hurt anyone... just don't hurt me. I'm currently very lost, confused and I'm bound to react to something in a very adverse way. Okay?"

Oh ya, that's right, pull your weapon out infront of a bunch of aliens.. animals, whatever the hell they are. Look... this may be some sort of first contact. No... wait a minute. I was fighting aliens. We don't know what they look like, maybe I somehow found a way into their area? Are these the aliens? Oh my god.... I'm in enemy territory. Though why aren't they attacking me? That bear thing had that robotic arm, maybe that's a weapon, and I just didn't see it.

Damn it, I'm looking at a whole diffrent culture here. I'm alone, except for perhaps my fighter, but I would consider that a comfort. Okay, okay

I took a few breaths of air, and slowly backed out of the building, slowly holstering my phase pistol. I turned around to see the forgotten bear creature. Its arm raised up towards me.

crap

Okay... calm down. See if you can talk your way out of this.

"Look put the um.... arm down, please. I don't want to fight. Please, just go and help that little creature, er, um thing, I don't know what the hell it is, just go help it, damn it. Leave me alone!"

[Rikimaru]

"Its ok. i have no intent to hurt you, i never intended to hurt anyone. Its this damn guns fault"

Simon gets up and throws the gun at the wall, smashing it to pieces.

"ive had enough of it. ill get by. im like you, i just wanna get back home, i stick with these guys cuz they helped me and i dont know when ill get home, if i ever do. theyre all friendly seriously"

Simon looks behind and he sees Babel raise his hand to the other being.

"No Babel dont, hes just lost and he wants to get back dont hurt him!"

Simon runs over to the mysterious life form.

"soo errr... who are you and where are you from, Im Simon. Nice to meet ya"

Simon extends a friendly paw...

[Jalex Darnco]

The situation was just growing worse and worse. These people, things, they are insane. I wanted to just break down then. I felt so alone, lost, I wanted to scream. Let out my anger and confusion, dissolve all these nightmares with my weapon. Make them go away. What do they want?! Why don't I wake up?!

Just keep going with it, it won't last forever. Treat them like people. No, wait they are the enemy. They'll try to fool you, break you. They are interigating you!

"You won't get anything from me! I'm not going to die pitifully while you play with my mind. I won't let you! I am Lieutenant Commander Alexander Rico of the American Space Navy. Commanding officer of the 511th Raven Claws. ID number 1893-alpha-bravo-wiskee."

The interogation training kicked in like a kick to the face. I didn't even know it happened till it did happen. I quickly snapped to position of attention as I resited what I had been told to do.

[Rikimaru]

Simon looks very confused by this, beings behaviour.

"Its ok i wont bite. We dont wanna hurt you. And this isnt an iterrogation you can speak normally. See me bust my gun up? no more weapon ok?"

A memory comes back to simon, hes in a biology class doing a project on 'Humans' he thought to himself

"Hmmmm... arent you a errr Human? I did a project on them at home in biology class."

[Bear Paw]

Babel Heard Simon shout out he lowerd his arm. The creature lowerd his gun . He watched Simon talk to the creature offer his hand to him * dam he thought why can't I be that trusting*. It seemed confused almost lost in itself. It then began to speak
"Lieutenant Commander Alexander Rico of the American Space Navy. Commanding officer of the 511th Raven Claws. ID number 1893-alpha-bravo-wiskee."
Babel had heard this befor he had been to enough military establishments in his time .
" No ones going to screw with your head " He said letting the charge in his arm disipate
It was when Simon spoke something made sense Human he said. His father had told him about a race called themselves that but they had little to nothing to do with them left them to there own devices. So what the hell was one doing out here he wanderd. Still if he was in the millitary all they where gonna hear from him was his name rank and number. He seemed to have been attacked though same as them. * ahh crap its all going weird again* he thought to himself.
" If your not a threat to us or the kid then I don't care what ya do " And with this he turned and went back to the Generator at least mechaniques was one thing he could get to grips with. Simon would be bette to deal with him he thought more a people pearson was that the term for it he idely thought.
