Hoping to arrive early, Balus did the best someone his size could to slip in and find a seat. He felt out of place amongst obvious veterans as he addressed the major," sorrysir, Iwas trying to get to know my way around the ship and wasn't watching the time. It won't happen again, Sir." He wasn't late as far as he knew, but obviously the others knew to be early to a meeting.

(Kiadan)
Dr. Potyn puts on his glasses. "Interesting...that configuration almost looks like-"
"-three hells. Dr. Kiadan, we need to get these results up to the command deck. Those are Fusion Warheads." Lt. Dashin cuts in.
(Solaxis)
"Ambassador. Please. I'm just about to begin mission briefing" Captain Rohben gestures to a vacant spot near the operations desk where the holodisplay is.
(Balus)
The Major smiles. "No worries. It's nice to have such eager people to work with." He looks over the group. "OK, everyone sit down and shut up. I know most of you think you're hard from your previous tours, but most of you are still pretty new to Space Ops, and the learning curve is steep. Watch your step, because I'm told it's an infinitely long fall. Now, let's get to your mission briefing."
(Balus and Solaxis - It's the same briefing, only difference is that Major Trokyr is giving it to Balus and the Captain is giving it Solaxis)
"In three hours we'll be in range of the target area; what we think is either a shipyards, fueling station, or other waypoint for the Tarlok's in orbit at Dilm. Our stealth tech is anywhere from 4 to 12 generations ahead of theirs by any reasonable estimate; stealth isn't really a speciality of the Tarlok."
"From our intel, the scientists we'll be picking up have already secluded themselves in either an escape pod or a small shuttle of some sort. Now, they've been in that can a few days, so it'll be pretty ripe. Our plan is to get with in 400 kilks, then send out our retreival team. It'll be our primary lander craft, with a detachment of EVA and security, just in case something's waiting for us. The plan is scout, secure, and return. After we've secured the eggheads, it's detain, debrief, and take it from there.
Questions?"

(Solaxis) "Ambassador. Please. I'm just about to begin mission briefing" Captain Rohben gestures to a vacant spot near the operations desk where the holodisplay is. Solaxis nods Von in the direction of the spot the Captain had indicated. "go ahead and sit. I prefer to stand" Solaxis didn't have any other questions once the mission briefing was done. |

Kiadan shrugs her small shoulders her mind already moving onto the next problem. "Send a courier to take it to them. Unless they will need it explained we should be finished with that particular task." She looks around her eyes focusing on the various pieces of equipment in the lab.

Balus raised his hand," Sir, what happens if the Tarlok show up? Do we scrub the mission or hold ground until the scientists are safe?"

(Solaxis)
Captain Roben speaks to Solaxis. "If you wish, you can observe the mission from here on the command deck."
(Kiadan)
Lt. Dashin takes off for the command deck.
(Balus)
The Major responds "If they come out in overwhelming numbers, we scrub. If they try anything else, we'll see if we can take them. But that order will be issued from me or the Captain."

Turning to the scientists Kiadan's smile broadens. "Now then... does anyone know the process of turning a magnet and hydrogen into plasma for energy purposes?"

(Solaxis) Captain Roben speaks to Solaxis. "If you wish, you can observe the mission from here on the command deck." "I was under the impression we'd be accompanying the mission." |

" Of course, sir." Balus replied, wondering how stupid he'd just made himself look infront of the more seasoned members. He decided he might be better off just being quiet and listening to the rest of the briefing

(Kiadan)
Dr. Potyn chimes in "I know some of the theory, yes" He huffs.
(Balus)
Major Trokyr "You can all take some time to familiarize yourself with the equipment you'll be using. Pay close attention, because your life will likely depend on it."
(Solaxis)
Captain Rohben nods slightly. "Ambassador, you can participate however you'd like. In fact - "
A large Talus Bio Freak with a crown of spikes and a bladed tail rushes in. "Captain! We've decoded the intell!"
The Captain frowns. "Procedure Lieutentant." He says icily as the young Talus snaps to attention. "Better. Now, out with it, Lieutenant" The chastised soldier hands the captain a data pad, which he looks over. "I see. Well, this time, we'll overlook this. As you were." He turns to Solaxis. "It appears things are more dire than we thought. Do you recognize this configuration?" as he hands Solaxis the pad.

looking over the data, Solaxis shook his head handing the pad back to the Captain "no, what is it?"

Balus paid close attention, and didn't ask anymore questions that might give away that he was fresh out of training. He knew the book way things were supposed to work, but he had heard many times he would see how they really worked in the field.

(Balus)
Major Trokyr salutes "Dismissed."
The other vets take you over to the armory.
"What's your name kid?" Says the female talus sargeant from before.
(Solaxis)
"Fusion warheads. They've modified a Tarlok Killcarrier attack craft into a platform to unleash enough firepower to level Rylor in one volley." The Captain turns to his Operations officer. "Give me maximum relativistic velocities." and then to the Mission Operations Officer. "Modify timestamps and codes, direct message to the OCSPA notifying them of all developments" as he dictates his message to the officer.

"It's entirely possible to develop a power source from it for the ship," Kiadan says. "I've not had a lab big enough to test the theory before. It would require a magnetic field, a vacuum container and an electrical charge."

" Balus, err specialist Balus Walkir." Balus replied. " Were all of you in the war with the Tarloks? what are they really like?"
