They come from all over. [Working Title]

First topic message reminder :

Setting: We are thousands of years into the future. Like its year 5019, and a war breaks out upon each of our galaxies. We start out on our separate ships some might go into battle some my stand watch for spies a board the ship. We must fight the other people even if it means death. Some of you may get captured and dragged back...to the other person’s ship while fighting but it’s worth it. Which Galaxy will rise above them all? Who will die? Who will get captured? Well, who knows what will happen but make it exciting and fun.
OK NOW TO INTRODUCE THE GALAXIES. WHOO

The Mechina: Living machines or better yet living robots. They are the smartest of all the species. They rely mostly on their brains to get them out of all
situations. They can hack anything they need to and they can fix any problem. They are very good with mechanics and machinery.

The Crystalinze: These are humanoid crystals. They are the strongest of all the species. They rely mostly on their brute strength than anything else. They can shoot crystal shards from their body. Also they can create blades and shield from their crystals.


The Nexeru: They are a hybrid of animals and humanoids. They are the swiftest of all of the species. They rely mostly on their animal instincts for them to survive. They have all the characteristics and powers of their animal. Also they have all the strengths and weaknesses of that animal. There body looks like a human but with animal like features.


The Whisperei: They are living elements. They are the sliest of all the species. They are good at misleading you into a trap. They rely mostly on their surroundings to help them out. Each one of the Whisperei is only one element. They can control/manipulate, and summon/ create the element. They look like there element and yet slightly look like a person

The Humans: Now here you might think humans are the weakest of the many groups, wrong! They are strategically wisest of all the species. They make plans and stick to it. Humans have been in several thousand wars learning new machinery and weaponry. From being in so many wars it gives them the upper hand on how to fight these creatures. They have highly advanced weaponry and they have armor also

I also wanted to try classing the ships so Captains just put down what class your ships are here’s a few to get people started:

Privateer: [Human(transports important human relics)]
Mercenary:

Transport:

Federation (these carry vips like senators and stuff like that):

Arkhan's smile doesn't falter in the slightest. She is calling him arrogant? Her? From what he saw of her, she is an extreme offender of that sin; true, he can be very arrogant, but at least he acknowledges it. He can already tell that she thinks herself better than everyone else, and actually thinks she's right. Pah...the Nexeru are no better than humans.

At that moment, he decides to have a little fun with her; confrontational to the extreme, she has little to no skills in diplomacy, as he thought. A more experienced person would have tried hard to seem reasonable, to lull him into a false sense of security, to tease out the information. She went straight for the insults and personal attacks. It's a wonder the captain allows her to speak at all.

He turns his head and gets out of the cockpit slowly. The Guards follow him with their weapons, but don't fire; ah, good little soldiers. They won't fire unless told to or unless he attacks.
How to get a rise out of her? She's obviously emotional; if he can wind her up enough, he'll be in control. What he needs to do is set baits for her and avoid hers. If he gets into a shouting match, she's won; if he remains calm and makes her lose her temper, she's lost.

"You know," he says, almost conversationally, ignoring her comments completely, "I've never been inside a Nexeru ship," he jumps lightly off of the side of the dart and lands with a slight thud on the ground. "Oh, I've been inside Whisperie ships, Human ships, the works...but never a Nexeru." there. The first seeds of suspicion are sown. Divide and conquer, that's what they say.

He turns around slowly, seemingly taking in all the detail. "I have to say, it's a lot cleaner than theirs. A whole lot more organized as well...I'm impressed." He turns back to face the girl before him. "And here I am; a first for me, definitely, and a first for you I'm sure."

Ah, so he was going to play like that, was he? Going down that route? Well, right back at you. Capri studies him as he moves around, talking about the ship.

She relaxed her hand at her side, looking up at the Captain for a brief second then back to this man, "Yes, most certainly a first." she paused. He was closer to her now, standing tall with that sadistic grin of his. She kept her face neutral, calming the fire withing her head. She'd lost scouts, and definitely wasn't happy about it.

"You know," she said in a mock non-chalant manner, "I've never heard of or seen of your species. Since you seem to know so much about everyone else, it only seems proper to fill me in?"

He resists the urge to roll his eyes. Does she really think he's going to fall for that? If she plays him at this game, she will lose.
He shakes his head, feigning sadness. "Alas, no. That would be telling." He grins again.

"I didn't think you would." she looked to a guard at random and gave a small smirk, then back at him, "Then what do I call you by, stranger?"

Skye stood above the radar, watching as the ships returned to the Nexeru ships. She muttered yet another curse towards herself and ordered communications with the ship again. She sighed began to pace, knowing the captain would be watching her.

"You may call me Arkhan, for that is my name," he says, then holds up a hand to forestall any response. "Do not bore me with your name; I don't care what it is." He looks around again. "So tell me. Am I to be interrogated by you, or someone who's actually qualified?"

Capri ignored his second sentence. She hadn't been planning to tell him anyway.

"Do you forget who's vessel you're on? Anyone here is 'qualified' to speak to you."

He simply shrugs non-commitedly. "You're wrong," he says, as if it's the most normal thing in the world for her to be wrong, "anyone here is allowed to speak to me, but not everyone is qualified to. By qualified, I mean intelligent enough to hold my attention." He turns to look at her, his eyes patronizing and contemptuous. "Can I speak to an adult, or do I have to go through the interns?"

She shows no reaction, just raises her eyebrow at him.
"If you must."

Looking up to the Captain, her wings ruffled once more. Then, the Captain jumped over the railing as she once had, opened his large, leathery wings and soared down to land next to them. His face was sharp and angular, with pointed ears. Black hair trimmed close to his head. He was around 6'5", and build very muscular. He crossed his arms behind his back, his expression neutral, but open.

ooc: Capri, I'm upset now; I thought you'd at least give me a rise...lol

Ic:

Arkhan shifts his glance to the obvious captain, now ignoring the arrogant little girl next to him. "Ah. You must be in charge. Well, it's certainly an improvement over your help; I was listening to her conversation with the Human, and I must say, I wasn't impressed." So they know now that he was listening in; let that whet their appetite for information a little.

OOC- Haha, she's unpredictable. She knows what he wants, and she'd not gonna give it.

BIC-

The Captain simply nodded, "Under what pretenses were you in the asteroid belt?"

ooc: Yes, but your character is also emotional. I was trying to play on that, but nooooo, you have to be perfect

Ic:

He inclines his head. "As far as I'm aware, there's no law against being inside the asteroid belt. What if I don't want to tell you?" He raises an eyebrow mockingly.

OOC- Not perfect. Stubborn and sneaky. ;D

BIC-

Capri suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, biting her lip.

The Captain rose a hand out in front of him, a sign that he didn't want hostility, "It is my job to ask. To protect my people.I am now aware that you were listening in on our transmissions, and I am inclined to ask a question like I just have."

ooc: Yes, but obviously emotional; you just changed it to try to win again

Ic:

He raises an eyebrow fractionally. Although he won't surrender any information unless he can see a way to use it to help himself, he finds himself having a small measure of respect for the captain. At least he tries to be diplomatic; that young snit of a girl is a sorry excuse for an officer.
He ignores the comment, however, and instead takes another look around. "So. Will I be sleeping here, or in some specialised quarters? Or will you be executing me?" He chuckles darkly as an indication of how likely he thinks the latter is.

The Captain just stared at Arkhan for a moment, examining him. He looked into his golden eyes almost blankly, keeping a nuetral expression. His gaze then moved slowly over to Capri, noticing a strange emotion in her eyes. Something he had not seen in awhile. No matter how well she concealed the emotion in her face, you saw it in in those large, slanted eyes. It was not hostility, though her glare radiated it. It wasn't anger, though the way she stood practically screamed it.

It was sadness. For her fallen comrades. Curiousity. For the man. She refused to show her weakness. And so she covered it with rage. Childish rage. Yes, she realized this, but she did not want others to see her as puny. Because she was not. She had proven herself fit for the job, keeping her emotion in check. Something about this man horribly irked her, but yet...she did not hate him, like he probably did her. If she were in his positon, she knew she'd be killed.

And that's exactly why she let a flicker of something like compassion shine through her eyes.

The Captain gave her another blank stare. But she knew he understood. His eyes moved back to Arkhan.

"We should kill you. You have unrightfully taken two lives that were not yours to take. But you will be kept in a cell. A prisoner's cell. Until you decide to cooperate." His voice was not hard, or furious. Just plain and to the point. Capri looked away, to a place at random. Anywhere but anyone's gaze. Why had she done that, wasn't she supposed to hate a man that killed her people?

OOC- gahh, sorry, Skye.

BIC-

The man in front of the screen heard a ping, and looked up from the security camera for the aircraft hangar he'd been watching. The Whisperei were pinging.
He answered the transmission, "Communications Officer of Nexeru ship 741."

He allows himself a tiny smirk; they, people who start wars over something as puny as territory, decide to lecture him about needlessly taking lives? Do they honestly believe that they are any better than him? They entered the sector ready to kill if they had to, to protect themselves. He did no different.

"Tell me," he says thoughtfully, "What would you have done when you discovered me spying on you?" He asks, looking the captain in the eye. "What is the penalty for treason, or spying against the Empire?" He snorts. He's not sure, but he thinks he knows that it's pretty harsh. It certainly would be with Wraith, and rightly so.
He continues, not waiting for an answer. "You entered the sector ready to kill to protect yourselves. I did no different. Your races have never been known for their tolerance of others, so why should I be so different?"
He snorts, then, casting a contemptuous glance around; he doesn't hate them, per say, but he certainly is contemptuous of their high-horse methods.
"Don't pretend you're better than me; I may be a killer, but at least I'm honest about it."

ooc: I wasn't expecting you to respond for a while, I just wanted to post
bic: Skye turned back to the transmission, seeing the girl appear on screen. "Hello. This is communications officer of the Whisperei ship 7825. It has come to our attention that you have captured an unknown aircraft containing unknown personnel. As he was within radar of both ships, being the Nexeru ship 741 and Whisperei ship 7825. As he was in both airspaces at the time of capturing, we feel it is only necessary that we have the opportunity to speak with said prisoner. He has killed two of our troops, which gives us right to ask this of you and the Nexeru." Skye pushed her shoulders back again, fully aware of the terms she was using. "Note all said terms referring to the captured person or persons are used flexibly, as we do not know their intentions." The girl quickly covered, not wanting to have a war with the Nexeru or upset her Captain. It was worse enough two men died under her control- she didn't want to give him another reason to throw her away like a scrap.

The man at the screen nodded. "Because of the situation at hand, the Captain and Second in command are busy. I'm in no way eligible to answer your request. I will have to contact them first." his scaly green hand swiped across the screen, not ended the transmission, put putting it on a pause.

The lizard man began to walk calmly towards the aircraft hangar.

~~

No change flickered in the Captain's face, "I only sent them on a scouting mission. They were to scan the area for awhile and report back to me. And they were instructed not to attack unless fired upon. Which they were." he paused, lightly gesturing to Arkhan, "You must understand, we are not a egotistical race. We are not full of ourselves. We only believe in what we believe, as I'm sure your own race does. I ask you to respect my actions and words."

Capri stood stark still, nothing moving but the occasional twitch of her wings. Her ears picked up footsteps as she listened to the conversation. She sharply looked up, golden eyes flickering as Fayel came into view, his scaly hand resting on the railing above.

"Excuse me Captain," his whisper-like voice echoed down into the hanger. The Captain looked up, away from Arkhan. "The Communications Officer of Whisperei ship 7825 would like permission to come aboard, sir."

The Captain's gazed flickered to Capri. She saw him out of the corner of her eye.
"Go," he said, "I would like to finish speaking to Arkhan."

You could she her reluctance in the way she stood, but she would not disobey. With a glance to Arkhan and the Captain, She took a couple quick steps forwards and propelled herself upwards. Her wings snapped open, giving two hard flaps before landing softly next to Fayel above. She began walking, Fayel following behind and staying silent.

They reached the Communication Screen. Capri swiped her hand over the screen to revive the call.
"Hello again," said Capri to the redhead on the screen, "Now before I decide whether or not to let you on my vessel, explain to me why you want to come see this...creature. He seems very...intullectual. But not to mention dangerous. He's killed two of my scouts. And a few of yours, I believe." Capri blinked slowly, leaning forward on her arms.

It was rather quiet on the bridge as all waited for instruction. Scouting information only told of a fire-fight in space. I took in a deep breath, shaking my head as I pressed a small green oval on the board.

"Anything yet, Sir? Besides rocks and scorch marks?" I hadn't much to ask, but the tug or boredom pulled at my head like a swarm of hornets. It wasn't very fun watching over the ship, and I only wondered how Titus felt every day of the ships escort.

Arkhan regards the captain quietly as the arrogant snit moves off to converse with the Whisperie who obviously want to speak to him. Pah...like they could actually get any information from him that he doesn't want to get!

He stays quiet for a short time, until the girl is well out of earshot, and he shakes his head. "You know, I don't understand why you allow her to speak to other races. I was listening to her conversation with the humans, and she could definitely use work. Arrogant brat."

The Captain sighed, "I unerstand your frustration with Capri. But you get used to her personalitly after awhile. She has proved to be a worthy ship mate, she's earned her spot. You just haven't had the chance to see that side of her yet." He paused, " you know, she's had quite a hard life. Spending a horrible five years of her life captured. When she was a thirteen, she was...abducted. Her parents killed. Capri was kept prisoner for most of her teen years, until she finally escaped. She's never really been the same. And definately doesn't speak of it. To this day we don't know who did it. Her memory is blury. So that is way she is what you call arrogant and short tempered to other races. She has no trust for anyone. But I, who has know her since she was born." The Captain paused again, "I understand that you could care less, but that is way." He stopped, black eyes gleaming.

OOC: sorry i havent posted in a while, been busy finals and such.

BIC: Titus recieved the incomming message from Faith. "We are returning to the ship. We have found something interesting"

The transmission disappears as the Captain immediately talks through the over head. "Skye, keep calm. Wait." She closed her eyes, hoping she wouldn't explode. Her eyes flashed open again as she heard the girl's voice. "Yes. Two scouts actually. And with that evidence, it proves that he is not only a threat to your ship, but ours as well." Skye watches the girl intensely for some form of body language.

Her sensitive hearing picked up sounds from the aircraft hangar, recognizing the Captain's voice. But she couldn't understand anything he was saying, it was too dim. After a glance at the hangar's security camera, Capri looked back to the Whisperei Communications Officer with skeptical eyes.

"You see, the thing is -and be understanding please- is that I already have one unwanted, lethal life form on board. And frankly, I'm skeptical about letting you on my ship. We have no alliance with you, though we don't have any disputes either." she paused, still hearing the captain speak, "How am I supposed to know that you aren't tricking me?"

Capri rose an eyebrow, wings unfolding behind her.
