I'M BAAAAAACK!
« on: September 02, 2012, 04:59:57 AM »

Well, I back from holiday and I thought it would be nice to declare that I am - as mentioned before - back, and feeling as insane as ever!

that will be all, continue with your daily routines.

....that will be all, continue with your daily routines.

The announcement has hardly finished echoing through the ship over the intercom when a crewman comes running up to you, out of breath.

Sir! Its very good to see you sir! Its a wonderful day to sail today, oh yes! Would you like some chicken alfredo sir? Its a little treat from me and the boys on battery five! We spent a great deal of time on it, oh yes we suuuuure did....

The chief gunner grins at you, offering the alfredo entreatingly as he speaks to you. You look, dumbfounded at the steaming bowl of saucy pasta. The noodles spell out, "Welcome back Hyph!" You laugh nervously and back away slowly, being careful to keep your eyes level with his as you slowly make your way off of the bridge.

Uh..uhhm....I've got some work to do sergeant..you know...TPS reports and all that...erhm...can I get back to you on this? I've really...uhm..got to go....

You stab your finger towards the door, mouthing something along the lines of "GET TO THE ESCAPE PODS! WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!! THIS PSYCHOS GOING TO KILL US!! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES! RUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!" to the other crewmembers. They stare blankly back at you.

In short, if you throw a stone out of the rear window of your spaceship you will go faster.

:( I can't see it.

what is it?

as an addition to GUNIN's wonderful welcome:

Hyph dives into the nearest escape-pod, smashing the eject button into the wall as he crashes face first into one of the pods metal benches

I'll be safe soon... the noodles can't possibly reach me from here

The pod launches from its housing. Back on the ship, the crew are transfixed by the sight of what appears to be a moon shining inside of Hyphs escape pod.

Hyps escape pod is, luckily enough, picked up by a sidus dim patrol. The escape pod rams the cruiser, and breaches the hull. as hyph slowly makes his way out of the pod, he hears a distant chicken chuckle through the intercom, and what appears to be remains of humans, with their entrails being replaced by noodles.

:< I am still blind to the picture.


Hyph stares in horror at the noodle corpses. A distant clatter of claws on metal is heard though one of the corridors

No... NO! I've got to get out of here!

Hyph makes a dash for the nearest control room, in hopes to find a emergency evac pod or similar, but is greeted by yet more noodle corpses, this time bent over the control consoles, as a the intercom starts to crackle.

But sir, you haven't tasted out delicious Chicken Alfredo yet! We spent tons of work on it, yes we did.

Hyph begins to tremble out of fear, and instantly dashes for an escape shuttle that he luckily enough found docked at the fighter docking bays of the cruiser. He darts inside it, closes the shuttle door, and departs the cruiser. The shuttle intercom crackles up, and Hyph steares dumbfoundedly at the radio.


But sir! Why are you running! We just want you to taste our alfredo!

At the very same time the intercom ends, the shuttles hyperspace sensor warns for an incoming ship, just exiting hyperspace. The very last thing that could be heard through the shuttle's com channel was a scream, probably from hyph, as the shuttle set course towards the planet, heat shields down.

After Hyph had finished screaming, he makes an assessment of his current situation. He's falling to his doom, to be burnt to a crisp by entry into the atmosphere.

There's only one thing for it...

Hyph calming walks over to a locker in the shuttles main holding area, and takes out what appears to be a skin tight diving suit with armour plating. He quickly dons the suit, and a space-planet pressure helmet. fully suited up, Hyph makes for the air-lock

I've always wanted to do this!

With a final check of the suits re-entry systems, Hyph hurls himself out of the shuttle

Hyph safely lands in the middle of what appears to be a totally deserted city. He checks his suit readings, which tell him that the planet atmosphere is hazardous, and that he only has 5 hours worth of air left in the pressure suit. He proceeds to silently inspect the rubble, only to find a docking yard, which, incredibly enough, houses a GAX-6 Industries SeTerra-class Dreadnought. Hyph jumps out of joy, because he always wanted to inside one of those, but never signed up for military work. He proceeds to enter the dockyard, but discovers a shock. There are chicken corpses everywhere, and some of them are so stuffed with noodels that they are spilling out.

I have a baaaaaad feeling about this.

Exercising EXTREME caution, Hyph navigate the maze of chicken-noodle corpses. Eventually he reaches the ship.

Next time baby.

Going straight past the SeTerra Dreadnought, Hyph instead heads for a Gedune Kitsune-Class Frigate

This'll do nicely.

10 minutes later Hyph is sat in the spartan control deck of the Kitsune, and being the designer of the ship quickly brings online and gets it into hyperspace.

Hyph manages to safely escape the doomed planet and his wrethced ex crew, and flees to a safe heaven known as "Cerela VI". He docks the Kitsune in the port, pays the docking fee to the port controller, and proceeds to the tavern, to recruit some new crew and buy some supplies. He enters the door, and finds a bunch of guys sitting by a table, looking like crewmen.

Oi, lads! Want to join a fresh new ship with a good pay?

They answer, in unison, yes, and hyph feels satisfied to have found a crew that isn't psychopathic. He leads them to their quarters and, having previously bought some new fancy-shmancy equipment for the Kitsune, proceeds to undock and head for worlds unknown. However, his lust for adventures, which in turn led him to this situation, is cut short by an incoming communication, from what appears to be a GAX-6 Industries Border Protection Fleet. The captain, who identifies himself as Cmdr. Ryan Arenolds, informs Hyph that he is piloting a stolen GAX-6 Industries ship, and that unless he hands the ship over, he will be vaporized. Hyph bluntly refuses, and Ryan cuts the comm link. Shortly after, the Kitsunes new equipment pick up large energy spikes coming from the SeTerra class dreadnought, and it's escorts appear to be moving in an S&D pattern (Search and Destroy)

Ha! launch the phased MIRV Maelstrom Torpedo at the flagship!

the crew, never having seen the legendary PMMT in action, loaded the vicious, and worryingly large torpedo into the Kitsunes main firing bay

captain, what exactly does it DO?

asked one of the crewmen. Hyph span on his gyro swivel command chair to face him

Shut up and watch my friend, and you shall see!

and the torpedo was away, at first the entire fleet ignored it assuming it was too far away to reach them. but when it continued coming, even after 20,000 SU all ships opened fire upon the torpedo.

What the hell is that thing!? screamed the admiral fleet controller

No matter how many shots were fired at the torpedo, it just kept coming, head inexorably for the flag ship. and then suddenly, it was gone, were it should have impacted the flag ships shields it just slid through, and when it should have hit armour it passed straight inside

Any second now...

and then, in a blinding flash, the fleet in all its entirety, was gone.

Nothing like ZAAL tech to get a job done...

Hyph and his crew where enjoying the victory against the GAX-6, but something far worse lurked in the shadows aboard his own ship. Suddenly, his intercom crackled up, and yet again, a distant clatter on the metal could be heard. The intercom said nothing, but just emitted a weird static noise.

Ensign! Go and check out what's wrong with the intercom! And also tell the gunnery crew to report themselves clear!

Hyph yelled at the poor ensign, and eventually, he went up and ran towards gunnery decks 5 and 6. However, before he could make it to the elevators, a horrifying scream could be heard from the corridor. Hyph started to fear the worst, and once he heard a chicken chuckle again, he dashed for the emergency escape doors, and stabbed his finger at the control panel. However, the door jammed, leaving poor hyph unable to escape. Then, suddenly, the intercom crackled open again, and a distant voice could be heard, slowly saying "Chicken Alfreeedo". Hyph fell unconscious, and once he woke up, he found himself aboard a Albatross-class frigate, controlled by an Independent captain who went under the name of Alberto Sanchez. He told him that he found Hyph in a pressure suit in space, near a wreckage of what appeared to be a kitsune-class frigate. it bore evidence of fierce battle, and several sections where missing. Hyph couldn't recall what had occurred, but something in the back of his mind nagged him. He took a closer look at the wreckage, and yet he couldn't see anything. But, floating past the wreckage, was a feather.

little did he know, they were still after him.
