(NonFMP!) MLS Lady MacBeth Chornicles
Posted: Thu Apr 01, 2004 4:34 pm
This is to appease our god of the Fics on this site. While it is not FMP!, you'll see alot of similarilties between the crew of the MLS Lady MacBeth and the Tuatha de Danaan. This a narrative story about my SciFi RPG groups actions. Please amuse yourselves.
The setting is over 500 years in the future. A shadow war has devolped in the Orion arm of the Milky Way Glaxay. On one side, the 'InterGalatic Conspiracy' which wishes to do what ever it wants and does. On the other side, the Interstellar Police Control Commision, the future desendeant of Interpol. The crew of the Mercantile League Ship Lady MacBeth are drawn form many of the member nations that contribute to the IPCC. The Major characters are as follows:
Captain Bast Stealthkiller, Curasar (Magistarte) of the Alastor Conglomerate, a male Felinoid that follows the way of the ancestors and generally does not trust technology. An Honorable Avatar (the term form the not trusting felinoids). Considered to be a diplomatic Avatar, as he ask before he kills you for insulting him. Played by Amy Galtier.
Morale Officer Garth G'Garth T'nik, Military CounterIntelligence agent form the United Federation of Planets. A Female Caninoid for Slarth's world. (envishion Hoth but with Arakeen Worms). Aslo second in command of the ship's marine complement. Leader of the Pathfinders, the scout squad for the Marines. The most forthright and honest person you'll meet, and shed all over the place. Affable but not very technical, uses Microsoft Windows because even a lupinoid can use it.
Played by Ben Newman.
Samus (Darth Vader), Wing Commander of the Fighter Wing on the Lady MacBeth. A male IRSOL (think large grey alien that have no sense of humor) is an Black Exosuit filled with Sulfur Dioxide atmosphere. Think Darth Vader with a technical mind. Played by Tony the PUNisher.
Terrace (Stealthkiller)- Cheif Engineer, a MekPurr( a Felinoid that loves Technology and cybernetics) that is tying to become an Avatar (who don't trust technology or MekPurrs). Retired from the Beurau of Space Affairs of the United Federation of Planets, he spend most of his time either maintaing his precoius Meks (cybernetic robots) or get his ass kicked in combat training by everyone. Played by Mitchell Potellio.
Lanquin- Cheif Medical Officer- A penguinoid fromm a space city deep inside the Mercantile League (think Hansetic League). A wise cracking, mad scientist, look for the quick buck bird who handles most of the medical emergencies. Played by Tony the Punisher.
Michra- Third in Command of the Marine Complement- A Male Ursinoid (Bear People)form a Water world in the UFP. A member of the Space Marine Commandos, he is a creature of action. He leads the Bruisers, a squad of 6 sentient races built for battle (2 Ursinoids, 1 Avatar, and 3 Saurians). If he isn't the action, he's betting on it. Played by Jason Boldt.
Shortfuse- Wolfound commander/Demolitons expert- In charge of the scout vehilcles, he loves fast vehicles with firepower. However the Caninoid's true love is demolitions. He love the smell of C8 in the morning. BVery apt in using Duct Tape for any occasion. Played by Amy Galtier.
Belisarius Khursau Wallace-MacKenzie- Operations Officer/ CO Marne Detachment- a gentically enhanced human optimized for ground combat, raised on Earth (the capital of the UFP). A rising star in the UFP Space Marine Commandos, he is on personal quest to bring his adopted families killers to justice. Recently having his psionic powers awaken, he question if he has ever had a real choice in his life. Played By ME.
30 Km over Alpha Site, New Horizon, Way the fudgie out there.
" Everbody jump, now." commanded Bel over the marine commnet as he got out the cargo doorway as 6 very big Battlesuited individuals need no encouragement to get out. It was preferable then die as part of the wreckage of the Assault Launch as it just detected missile launck from the surface. Bel looked back into the cargo hold to see if anybody was left. Only one figure was left, his Radio Operator. Radar O'Reily had never completed a practice combat jump and it showed. He was barely looking out while he held on to the cargo nets with both arms. He was terrified. Bel had no time for this. He needed Radar's technocal expertise to get past any computer blocks on the surface if this part of the mission was to be a complete sucess. Bel took the scared adolecent and threw him out the door. *No time for being subtle* he told him self. He longed for the days when he was back in the UFPMC, where he didn't have to worry about stuff like scared children. A s he jumped out after his charge, he knew it was all his fault. He hired him on a gut instinct. That he could trust him. It was proving that he should worry about another member of the detachment as he pulled up the video from his squad leaders. Aeteus was doing fine, but Michra was going alot faster then he should be. Bal focused on the vocals. He then heard the chatter from Michra to the Lady MacBeth.
" I've got 5k that I,Michra be first on the planet." said the AquaBear.
The voice of Terrace came over the line. "Ha, I'll see you five and put five on top that one of my Meks will make it first."
Belisarius was furious. How could anybody make a bet on this. This was a HALO insertion on top of a defenede position by unknown forces, on a nostandard Grav world with an inhostiple atmosphere, and they were betting who was going to be down on the planet first. Tha plan called for all 14 'men' and 8 Meks to land at the same time. An deviation would cause injury or death.
"Michra, get back into position, now. Engage your jump balt now, or you'll jepaordize the mission. Michra, that is an order." barked Bel. Normally, even kelled, Bel's voice was even more even. Michra realizing that this would not be a very good time to get on his COs bad side decided that this would be a good time to engage the jump Belt. As he did, the noise of failure came thru his suit audio recievers. It would appear that his JumpBelt was malfunctioning. Now he was accelerating at close to 3G and would continue to 4.5g if he didn't do some thing soon.
"Ah, Bel, I got a small problem." said Michra over the command channel.
"What now? JumpBelt Malfunction? Give me another story, Michra."
" It's not working?"
" It won't engage. What should I do?"
" Reboot the MiniC, and prepare you chute."
" Alright, Done. Rebooting. Ah, how do I use a chute?"
"Waht are you talking about? You've gone thru airbourne training."
"Ah, no. That's whats a grav belt for, right? to replace the parachute, right?" said a rather humble Aquabear.
" Then you better hope you belt cooperates or you'd better hit hard, cause I'll throttle you if I'm iun the same place you are." said an Irate Bel.
He then ordered the rest of the Bruisers to accelerat toward the ground with the Meks.
"ANd I thought the enemy was going to be the hardest part of the mission" he mused internally when his Battkle Sensor lit up. It would seem that the Enemy decide that shooting his men coming down was preferable to shooting the Assault Launch.
"When it rains, It pours" said Bel as he noticed that one of the Meks and Michra hit the ground. Michra was moving soon afterward, so his grav belt did slow his descent to tolerable (for a Ursinoid) levels of pain. Now only if those bunkers would stopp shouting it him.
*******************
Michra hit the gorund very hard as the jump belt finally kicked in and tried it's hardest to cancel the gravity and acceration. Thought very bruised the Aquabear scanned his surrondings. He saw a prefab bunker about 50 meters infront of him training its turrent at him.
*this would be a good time to engae thae belt screen unit, I would bet?* thought Michra as mutiple blaster shots came toward his direction. It worked as the shots bounced of his force field. He knew that his assualt rifle couldn't really affect the structure so he changed to his Guass rifle. Compared to the Blaster Assault Rifle, the Guass rifle had a slower rate of fire and needed ammunition intaed of a unibversal powerpack. But, it pentrated screens like it was paper and most modern armor , too. He switched to some explosive sheels for his rifle and fired at the bunker. Just he was about to move, he saw a missle go up the missle rack. ready to launch.
*Maybe if I hit the missile, it'll stop firing.* as he targeted the missile. Just as he squezzes the trigger, he heard Bel over the commnet. He and the rest of th Bruisers had just landed.
Bel was about ot give orders to the rest of the Bruisers and the Robots when an explosion happened to his right. It blew him and the squad to the ground. When he got back up , he noticed his comm system was down. He rebooted the comm system and prayed for its to work all the while he looked to his right. A smoking crater was all that was left of the bunker, he surmised that something went wrong and hit the ammo. He had no time to act as ripid firing fusion gunsshots whizzed passed him.
*G*** D*** Mercs, The UFP hasne't released the fusion gun for release and they are use them against me. When will I fight guys on an even battlefield.* thought Bel.
He moved up to the Support Robots that were carrying Personal Missle Launchers and some Blaster Medium Machine Guns. His Comm system came up and he ordered the robots to take down the other bunker. He heard that unmistakable words of Falco, the assault Launch pilot, of Danger Close, as he shot his Blaster Cannon at the bunker. This caused the bunker to explode quite nicley, but safely away from his men. Then the words of Samus came over the net.
"Plama Torpedo inbound"
COnsidering that the effects of a small anti-ship torpedo was like a 1 kiloton nuclear weapon, Bel ordered his men to scatter. IF they couldn't get aleast 500 meters away form the impact point, they weren't going to survive. The problem was that the jump belts were working in 2.5 g enviroment, slowing thier movement considerably. The Assualt Launch went up after the torpedo as Bel and his men tried to get out. Even Michra didn't want to find out how good his belt screen unit was the hard way. Radiation and gills don't go together well.
Just as Bel got to the 500 meter mark, the sky lit up as the warhead exploded in the upper atmosphere. Now, Bel's comm with the ship were cut of while his comm on the ground were squaky.
Bel and Michra gathered thier men and headed back to the base. The leader of the Merc came out.
At 50 meters, he stopped and offered his surrender. Bel accepted and told the Merc what his former emplyer had done.
Everybody filed into the habitat, when Righnkar throttled Michra.
The to Ursinoid started to wrestle when Bel got thier. He immediatly grabbed Righnkar arm and threw him to the wall. Before Righnkar could react, Bel had his black katana out pointed at his chest. Righnkar had seen Bel carve Tactical Dreadnought armor with that sword and knew he wouldn't even get his arm moving before his head would be on the ground.
"What the hell are you two doing? I got injured that needs immediate help and you to are trying to tear each other apart."
"But , Boss, tha AquaBear hurt us more then the Mercs. He shot the missile on the other bunker's rack, while we were just landing." said the Brown Ursinoid.
The bluegreen Aquabear offered his defence. " I didn't know you guys were hitting the ground that fast."
"That is enough. Righnkar, watch over the prisoners. Michra, make sure thast there is no straglers." commanded Bel as`he was thinking of ways if making Michra pay for his 'mistake'.
* Oh, why did I ever leave Earth. Oh yeah, see different planets, see different people. Adventure. * he sighed * NAVY,Never Again Voulenteer Yourself*
UFP- United Federation of Planets , Hellfire.
any other question?
Yes, he did that and everbody trook shrapnel that pentrated our armor and his sheild.
