USF Mars Mission IC Thread

[Kormanthor]

[ Aboard the UKS Liberty ]


Bravo Shift lead by his First Officer Nicolle Shultz had just taken over and Captain Robert Stevens was on his way to the Officers Mess. For him it had been a long, but rewarding day of supervising ship wide drills to bring up the crews reaction times as they started there historic trip to the Red Planet.

He was satisfied that his flight and gunnery crews were among the best in the fleet, but from his point of view that wasn’t good enough. They had to be among the cream of the crop and he would make darn sure of that. They had worked hard today, and he was proud of them. Likewise the rest of the crew had worked very hard for weeks now prepping the ship for the up coming voyage to Mars as well as loading supplies of every kind on board the eleven freighters that would make up the backbone of the fleet and mission.

But right now all he was looking forward to was a nice big plate of steak and fried potatoes, washed down with a chilled glass of wine. As he approached the Officers Mess the doors automatically slid open, and immediately the aroma of steak entered his nostrils causing his mouth to start watering.


On the Bridge Nikki Shultz, First Officer of the Battleship Liberty had sat in the command chair watching the view screen on the forward bulkhead of the Bridge for the past few moments since the Captain had left. All around her the bridge crew diligently worked each of their individual boards. She felt confident that her people knew their jobs so she didn’t wish to distract them. Even so her eyes moved to and fro around the bridge gleaning information from each of the control stations computer readouts.

She knew that Kor Space Com Pact had already been updated with ships logs covering the last couple weeks of preparation as they had departed the Moon Base Spaceport by Lt. Stephanie Ward the Communications Officer on duty this shift so that was a detail she didn’t need to concern herself with any further. Although she was a seasoned bridge officer she found herself wishing she could make the ship go faster. Unfortunately they were already traveling at the ships flank speed. Even so it would still take another nine and a half hours to reach the Earth orbiting Universal Space Facility where they would take on the final personnel that would be needed for the trip to Mars.

Still she wished to say busy in order that the time would pass by more quickly. She suddenly remembered that Ensign Ellis had already delivered her copy of the new personnel report during the shift change. Reaching down to the mail bin located on the left side of the command chair she picked up the report, brought it to her lap, opened it and started to read ….

[ To be Continued ] [ I will leave this post open ended for a while longer for any more new characters ]

[Alversia]

The doors opened with a hiss on the Liberty's bridge and the new Flight Officer of the voyage entered the room. Her eyes gazed over the various consoles and crewmen before finally making contact with the First Officer sitting in the middle of the bridge. Instinctively, she snapped into a firm salute. Her long, red hair layered down her back seemed to glisten in the lights of the bridge, her uniform fitting lightly over her lithe, fit and fullsome body. Her handsome, yet no less determined expression did not give much away about what she thought of this mission, though it did not need to be said that she was excited about it. Dead excited. She was so proud that the Alversian Government had chosen her, above the many others who could have been chosen for this historic mission to Mars, the first Alversian to go there. Of course, she was the perfect choice. She had plenty of experience coping under pressure, she was quickthinking and she was a fast learner. She would enjoy this of course, she already was enjoying it. Alversia had nothing like this ship and even time just wandering and looking was a joy.
"Ma'am, Lieutenant Commander Jessica Parkman reporting for duty." She stated in her standard military voice, "Do you know when we will be departing?" She asked.

[Malikov]

Sarah Parker walked onto the bridge, her heels clacking smartly on the cold floor, and stopped dead in her tracks. Infront of her was a women that looked almost exactly like her. Her hair was slightly darker, and longer. She was a little taller, and weighed a little more at first glance, but it was almost like looking in a mirror. Quickly recovering from the odd experience, Sarah sought out the First Officer, who by chance, was talking to Sarah's older doppelganger. Quickly approaching the two of them, Sarah saluted upon reaching the First Officer.

"Doctor Sarah Parker reporting for duty sir." Extending her hand first to the officer, and then to her all to uncanny look-a-like, Sarah said to each in turn, "How do you do?"

[Kormanthor]

[ On the Bridge of the UKS Liberty ]

As First Officer Nicolle Shultz is finishing up signing some paperwork given her by her Yeoman she hears the turbo lifts doors open with a hiss. She then spins the command chair towards the sound where she sees two female officers , a Commander with long, red hair layered down her back and one Lieutenant walk onto the bridge.

Nikki watches the Commanders eyes gaze over the various consoles and crewmen before finally looking her way, saluting and saying, "Ma'am, Lieutenant Commander Jessica Parkman reporting for duty. Do you know when we will be departing? ".

Just behind her the Lieutenant extends her hand, as she says, “ Doctor Sarah Parker reporting for duty sir."

Commander Shultz quickly raises out of the command chair carefully avoiding the railing that divides the science and communications level from the command floor as she walks towards the two new officers smiling with her right hand extended to the Commander first then the Doctor as she says,

“ Hello Ladies I am Commander Nicolle Shultz, I am the First Officer of the Liberty. I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome you to the finest ship in the fleet. I look forward to working with both of you. I know I can expect your very best, because your personnel files bears that fact out. Commander I know you would like to check out the shuttle bay just as I am sure the Doctor would like to check out our sick bay.

To answer your question Commander we are scheduled to leave the USF tomorrow after all the new people have arrived. Also as section heads I expect reports concerning the operation of your individual section weekly. Do you have any other questions for me?

[Kormanthor]

[ In the Liberty’s Shuttle Bay ]

Ensign Christopher DeCandido flexed and stretched as he sat at his space traffic control console in his office high above the shuttle bay floor observing silently his eyes transfixed to the flight crews and mechanics checking their assigned vehicles for safety and space worthiness through the observation window. Suddenly his communications console started beeping then a message came through,

“ Liberty Flight Control Tower this is Cmdr. Sendenka Zakany on approach and asking for permission to land. “

In response Christopher replied, “ Roger Cmdr, we have been expecting you. Welcome to the UKS Liberty, you are authorized to enter shuttle bay. “

Immediately Sendenka answers, “ Thank You Flight Control, I am glad to finally be here. “

Then as the shuttle bays outer doors opens, a sleek star fighter enters and waits for the outer doors to close and the inner doors to open.

[Americama]

Jonathen Krugel walked swiftly on to the Bridge his eyes flicking from side to side. As with most Americamans he was suspicious of foreigners and this was hammered into Airforce cadets by their ususally xenophobic Drill Masters. However Martin Philips had got word of some sort of Dream team being put together for a Mars mission. So naturally he had decided that Americama must be among the nations represented and so Jonathen Krugel, the finest Astronaut Americama had to offer had been sent.

He went to find the first officer. When he found the first Officer he stood to attention and saluted smartly, in the traditional Americaman style.

[Shinkadomayaka]

Revan sighed. He was sitting in a chair on the UKS Liberty, and he was extremely bored. He had thought this trip would be exciting, with them discovering alien life and colonising Mars. He got up and walked to the bridge, and waited for them to arrive.

[Songri]

Duran Stera stepped out of the turbo-lift onto the bridge of the UKS Liberty he paused for a moment to study the room. The bridge crew were focused on their respective duties. Duran nodded to himself, when he had been assigned to serve outside Songri Military he had expected discipline to be lax and the ships crew to be of poor quality. However everything he had seen of the UKS Liberty and its crew had proved him wrong. He was proud that he would get the chance to serve among such a group of high trained professionals. He hadn't had a chance to see the marines he would be serving aside, but he was very interested to find out just how good they were.

Spotting what must be the First Officer talking to two other women, a Lieutenant Commander and a Civilian, he walked forward until he stood next to her. Snapping to attention he saluted and reported in "Ma'am, Major Duran Stera reporting in."

[Alversia]

"Of course Ma'am," Jessica nodded, "I would like to check out the Flight Deck as soon as I am familiar with the layout of the ship and am confident that I can navigate this vessel without any delay due to getting lost." the redhead Officer stated simply before turning to their doppelganger, surprised to find a virtual twin in such a confined space, well, perhaps it was just coincidence that she had found her here, though it was slightly unnerving to say the least,
"I am well Doctor, thank you for asking, I take it that you are okay yourself?" She asked, looking back to the First Officer of the Liberty, "How many fighters does this vessel carry?"

[Malikov]

OOC: I'm a Lueitenant, thank you very much, sir.
After introducing herself, Sarah began to wander around the Flight Deck, observing the various instruments that were so deftly controlled by the navigators. Finding nothing of interest, Sarah walked back to the lift, and waited for it to arrive. Now, Sarah thought, would be a good time to test some of my theories. Changing her mind about the lift, Sarah walked back over to the Flight Officer, with a question.

"Do you know if there is a laboratory on the ship, sir?"

[Shinkadomayaka]

OOC:Hmm...Where have I heard of a Dr. Sarah Parker before?

[Kormanthor]

[ On the UKS Liberty Bridge ]

Nikki was glad that her new Officers had begun to report for duty. She was eager to get started with this mission. It promised to be a new and exciting trip where the Good Lord himself only knew what might happen along the way. She couldn’t wait until launch time, but she also knew that she must remain Professional when on duty. As her mind finished processing these thoughts she heard Commander Parkman ask her, "How many fighters does this vessel carry? "

http://usera.ImageCave.com/Kormanthor/Hawk%20Light%20Fighter.jpg

In reply she said, “ Normally Commander we carry twelve Hawk Star Fighters however this trip we have only have eleven Hawks because our new pilot from Virgin Incursion will be flying a VI Star Fighter on this mission. This is not a normal practice, we are doing this because VI’s government made an Offical Request so they could have one of their craft aboard during this historic flight. I hope that answers your question Commander, I look forward to working with you in the future. If you would like to you may replace Lt. Cuckler at the Helm position for the rest of this shift in order to familiarize yourself with the Helm controls. I’m sure you are itching to check it out as well. Now please excuse me Commander it seems I have some other folks to greet.

After introducing herself, Nikki watched the Commander began to wander around the Command and Communcations Decks. Apparently not finding anything of interest to her, she then walked back to the turbo lift, and waited for a moment as if she was waiting to get on. She must have remembered something else because Nikki saw her again walking towards her. Then as she got nearer she asked, " Do you know if there is a laboratory on the ship, sir? "

In reply Nikki said," Yes Commander we have several Labs on board,there is a flat screen computer node there on the bulkhead to the right of the turbo lift where you can call up each of their locations. "

As she spoke to Commander Parkman Nikki had noticed out of the corner of her eye that Revan the Fourth, Prince of Shinkadommayakan continued to walk around the communications level of the bridge looking extremely bored.

While a man in a Americaman Military Uniform walked swiftly on to the Bridge his eyes flicking from side to side then after spotting her he stood to attention and saluted smartly to her but didn’t introduce himself. At that moment, she was glad she had already read the personnel files because that fact allowed her to recognize him as Jonathen Krugel a former Americaman Airforce Officer and pilot from his personnel file.

Another man in a Sangri Military Uniform also stepped off the turbo lift just behind Jonathen Krugel pausing a moment to study the bridge, then after spotting her he walked around Mr. Krugel until he stood next to her, he then snapped to attention, saluted and reported in saying " Ma'am, Major Duran Stera reporting in. "

Turning to Major Duran Stera, Nikki said, “ Hello Major, I’m Commander Nicolle Shultz, I am the First Officer of the UKS Liberty. I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome you and Mr. Krugel the finest ship in the fleet. I look forward to working with both of you. I know I can expect your very best, because your personnel files bears that fact out.

You are free to check the ships out and to get more familiar with her. There is a flat screen computer node there on the bulkhead to the right of the turbo lift where you can call up ships floor and deck plans so you can find your way around more easily. Now if you don’t have any other questions for me I need to attend to Prince Revan. “

[Kormanthor]

OOC: I'm a Lueitenant, thank you very much, sir.

Changing her mind about the lift, Sarah walked back over to the Flight Officer, with a question.

"Do you know if there is a laboratory on the ship, sir?"

OOC:Hmm...Where have I heard of a Dr. Sarah Parker before?

After finishing her introductions to her Officers, Nikki quickly walked over to Prince Revan and said, " Hello Prince Revan, I am Commander Nicolle Shultz I would like to welcome you to the UKS Liberty on behalf of the Captain. I noticed you seemed a bit out of sorts. Is there something I can do to help to you? "

[Shinkadomayaka]

Revan replied, "No, I'm fine. Just a bit bored, is all. Though, theres not much to do to fix that."

[Malikov]

OOC:Hmm...Where have I heard of a Dr. Sarah Parker before?

OOC: Everywhere. All my In Character Role Play's use a Sarah Parker of some sort. They all share the same general features, education, ect. She's kinda like James Bond. Many people, one person.

[EDIT] In response to the below post: Sorry. [EDIT]

Notice: Please put all OCC communications in the OCC Thread. This IC Thread is for " In Character " posts only. Thank You for your cooperation.

[Songri]

Saluting at what was clearly a dissmissal Duran headed over to the mentioned console. Calling up the ships plans one by one he quickly memorised the basic layout of the ship and the location of critical areas, as well as several locations where a potential defence could be mounted against a hostile bording party.

Stepping into the turbolift he planned to spend the next couple of hours walking over the entire ship and memorising it. Hopefully he would get a chance to meet some of the marines he would be serving with, maybe even a chance to talk to the Captain and ask him some questions about the ships Marine contingent. He did not want to clutter the Bridge and the First Officer seemed far to busy to bother with questions like that.

He wondered what role this 'Prince' Revan had on board that had the First Officer jumping to keep him happy. Undoubtably it would be something important and critical that no-one else on the ship could do. Duran would find out sooner or later.

[Shinkadomayaka]

Revan sighed. He didn't know how long it would be until they reached Mars, but he was still bored. He got up and went towards a turbolift and stepped in. There was already a person on it, and he introduced himself.
(Thats you Songri)

[Songri]

((hey someone wrote Songri instead of Sangri without me prompting them))

As Prince Reven stepped in the turbolift and introduced himself Duran nodded to him. "Major Duran Stera, attached to the Marines aboard the UKS Liberty. What role do you fufil on this mission?"

[Virgin Incursion]

With practiced concentration and skill honed by years of piloting experience Cmdr. Sendenka Zakany piloted her VI built Hammerhead Star Fighter into the opened outer doors of the Liberties Shuttle Bay then hovered while the outer doors closed, the chamber refilled with oxygen and the inner doors opened.

Within the shuttle bay she could now see the reason why the Liberty had the two door system. Within the shuttle bay many flight crews and mechanics worked on various types of craft in the open shuttle bay so both sets of doors couldn’t be opened to space at the same time.

Looking around she noted that most of the craft here were the Kormanthorian HAWK Class Star Fighters while the rest were various types of shuttle craft / pods, and space tugs. She felt proud that her Government had made an Official Request so she bring her assigned fighter and they could have the honor of sending one of their craft aboard during this historic flight

Behind the landing pads were machine shops, parts counters, and the like built into the shuttle bays rear bulkheads as well as the flight deck control tower high above the flight deck itself. With practiced ease she maneuvered and landed her star fighter on the only remaining open landing pad and began shutting down her fighters systems.

Soon she had secured her craft, climbed out, and opened its storage bay where she retrieved her personal effects, then closed and locked the storage bay and started for the shuttle bay personnel exit. There right next to the sliding exit door she found a flat screen computer node on the shuttle bay bulkhead. After typing in her Military ID Number the node printed out a hard copy of her cabin assignment and duty roster. She realized she needed to report to the Bridge as soon as possible but decided she better find her cabin so she could stow her gear and freshen up before heading for the Bridge.

[Shinkadomayaka]

((hey someone wrote Songri instead of Sangri without me prompting them))

As Prince Reven stepped in the turbolift and introduced himself Duran nodded to him. "Major Duran Stera, attached to the Marines aboard the UKS Liberty. What role do you fufil on this mission?"

Revan really didn't know what purpose he was filling. He said, "I guess I'm just here to make sure everything goes according to plan, seeing as how my dad owns the USF..."

[Songri]

"So your the USF observer aboard this mission?"

Duran felt a brief flare of contempt at the fact this child was one of the most important people aboard this ship, someone even the high ranking officers had to report too. All because he had the luck to be born the son of a King.

As the turbolift reached the desired floor Duran nodded to Reven and stepped off, what Reven did was his own business and unless their were intruders aboard the ship it was not Duran's job to baby-sit him. He had picked a deck at random and it did not take long for him to match the layout with the hanger deck plans. While he was here he might as well have a look at the shuttle bay. As he moved along his eyes were constatnly moving, assessing each section of the corridor in turn for possible cover and lanes of fire. Nodding to the few crewers he saw he walked at a brisk pace along the corridor. Noticing a female in a non-Kormanthor flight suit that indicated she had the rank of Commander, carrying a case. Deciding that she must be a pilot who had just docked Duran stopped in front of her. "Excuse me Ma'am do you want a hand with that?"

Duran had always tried to get along with pilots, reasoning that a pilot would be more willing to enter a dangerous situation for someone they knew then someone they didn't. Duran had experienced just how difficult things could get when a pilot tried to play it safe for them and not take their aircraft in close enough to provide effective support or extraction, had lost good men and women to the fact. So he made a point of getting of befriending every pilot he served with.

[Shinkadomayaka]

Revan waited for the turbolift to reach the floor he was waiting for, then got off. He was in the level that had the engine systems in it. Spaceship engines had always fascinated him, and he continued to look around aimlessly.

[Dimoniquid]

UKS Liberty, Docking station
"UKS Liberty, preparing to dock, over." James said, as he checked the engine capacity.
"You have clearance, over." His headset went. The pressure rocked the Robin, and then it stopped.
"Depresserising. Cockpit open." James radioed, once again. The radio became static, giving a sign that meant all is well. The screen opened, and James lifted himself into the airlock. He picked up his bag, and slung it over his shoulder. This was a good day, and he walked to the turbo lift.

UKS Liberty, control station
"Very nice. Artificial gravity, cleverly artificial lighting... very nice tech." James said to himself. A red haired girl walked past, and James lost breath. 'Wow, she's pretty hot.' James thought to himself, and walked up to the station he was set in. He sat down, and let his bag drop on the floor. He was the stations lead scientist, and this wasn't new to him. After fiddling with his station, he took his laptop, and walked into the turbo lift, for his bedroom.

[Virgin Incursion]

As Sendenka walked down a corridor near the crews quarters section of the ship on her way to her cabin she was carefully following the directions given to her on the computer readout by the node on the shuttle bay. The various colored lines on the floor was also very helpful in her search.

Because she had to hold onto the handle of her oversized suitcase on wheels, as well as her purse and the computer readout that she had also been studying intently she was slightly surprised when she suddenly heard a mans voice say,

"Excuse me Ma'am do you want a hand with that? "

Looking up she saw a tall Marine Major with blonde hair and green eyes looking down at her expectantly. Recovering enough sense to reply she flashed him her best smile as she said,

“ That would be wonderful kind Sir. My name is Cmdr. Sendenka Zakany, may I ask your name? “
