[Caitlin Windancer]

In response to Tenkai's thank you.

You're welcome. She then walks into the galley.


Cait in the kitchen checking on the ham peeks out of the galley when Takeda yells.

What is going on Takeda? Why are the engines firing?


Phedra first hearing the engines start and then Takeda yelling for everyone to get back now.
She really puts on the speed.

She makes it back just moments after Ayu'lesh reaches the ship. Phedra shifts to human just as she reaches the ramp.

You bellowed Captain? What's the rush? What's going on?She askes as she comes up the ramp. If she had been in her natural form her whiskers would be twitching with curiosity.

[Gin Xyrin]

~Still scratching his head with his foot gin looks over to takdea~ "it's a good thing i'm whipping out all of these memories so gin won't know what happened or else he really would turn that droid into a trash can for this consequences be damned"

~deciding that parts can wait till later he just stays quiet his other foot twitching slightly as he finally gets the itch he had~ "guess it's time to run a check up on all my gear" ~saying that he blanches and dashes to the ramp before it gets closed and with a get over here motion rapidly pulls the gear off the sand a short distance away using telekinesis before rushing with it back to his spot on the ground~ "well that was a pathetic show of memory on my behalf"

~sitting for a second he gets the annoying itch back and starts scratching his head with his foot with a great fury as he lets out a raw growl~

[Takeda]

Takeda chuckles at Tenkai's comments and his emergency retrieval of his gear.
He slaps the button to close the ramp as soon as Ayu'lesh and Phedra come running up it.
"Minor change of plans, we need to check something in orbit, Dweezel is picking up some sort of signal up there"

He looks down to Tenkai as he is arranging his gear and scratching.
"Not sure why Gin would be upset about heading to orbit, unless of course he just is one of those people who likes to sit on a beach and do nothing but drink all day.

As Takeda heads to the cockpit he feels the ship lift off and ducks his head in the galley.
"We are heading to orbit to check that signal, Dweezel is pretty insistent about it.

[Caitlin Windancer]

Phedra's nose twitches. Interesting. She walks toward the galley. Dinner ready yet? She says hopefully.

Cait to Phedra. No, not yet.

Cait having checked dinner comes out of the galley as Takeda is making his explanation.
I wonder what he found. And oh dinner will be ready in about 30 minutes but I can put it on warm if we are not ready then. She follows him into the cockpit. Any idea why he is so excited about this signal?

[Gin Xyrin]

~dropping his foot as he pulls out wolf and disassembles the weapon with practiced ease~ "two reasons one being yes he does enjoy drinking on the beach till he passes out and the other being the abruptness of the current situation change" ~running a cleanning tool through the barrel of the weapon he growls as sand lightly puffs out~ "i personally hate sand the garabage reduces the effectiveness of many weapons"

~finishing with the large weapon he re assembles it oiling the slide as he slips it back into place~ "been awhile since i've done this personally hmm yep was when i slaughtered the betrayer" ~holstering the weapon he grabs the claymore unsheathing it he goes about repairing the minor damages after first making sure that blade was deactivated~ "need to get a pair of scythes for when i jump in control again"

~sniffing the air as cait announces the time till dinner and grins at the scent~

[Takeda]

Calling back to Cait as he heads to the cockpit to kick Dweezel out of his chair;
"I think it might have something to do with his memory core, but I do not know for sure. It looks like we are going to find out though.

He hears Tenkai's comments and makes a mental note to check his pistol for sand. After a brief argument with Dweezel, the droid slides over to the copilot seat as the ship breaks the atmosphere. As they approach the major coelessed potion of the debris ring, it starts to become clear what Takeda and Dweezel are looking at...

"This is amazing... Cait, Tenkai, Ayu'leash, Pherda, you all have to come here and see this!

[Caitlin Windancer]

Cait smiles when she notices Tenkai sniffing the air. Hungry?

She says to no one in particular just thinking out loud. I wish had the ingredients to make fresh bread or biscuits. It would be good with what I'm making.

Cait hearing Takeda runs into the cockpit with Phedra right behind her. What.. Oh Wow! Cait says as she sits down in the passenger chair as she looks at what caught Takeda's attention.

[Gin Xyrin]

~looking cait tenkai grins~ "considring that the idiot has been the one doing all the eat yes i am i personally enjoy food so it makes being proded into dominence a little less annoying"

~sheathing the weapon with quick movement he stands up and walks over to the cockpit and looks at what takeda was verbally pointing out letting off a low whistle he chuckles~ "intriuging at the very least"

[Takeda]

Thousands of ships and pieces of debris have combined together to form a dense ring, however it is more so than just the gravitational forces at work. Along the elements it appears that many of the pieces are actually fused and molded into one another. Seams along the different joints have been welded together, it is much like seeing how trees will grow together, or envelop items left in their way for too long.

Large portions of the "ring" are made of old Interdiction and Hammerhead class cruisers, but amongst them are many more ancient vessels dating back thousands upon thousands of years. And at the core of it all huge sections of what looks like industrial workings and random superstructure. The effect is like if Kuat simply welded their production to the outside of the array and simply keep adding more around it.

Dweezel buzzes a tone and extends a manipulation arm to point, Takeda keeping a fairly respectful distance eventually is prompted to move in closer to spot with a twisted mass of the large Interdiction cruisers piled and fused into a large spine on the ring.

"There is no way that those would weld like that form impact alone... well, maybe a few over the whole ring, but not all of them like this... Someone or something has built this.
What do you thing Cait? or anyone else for that matter... Tenkai, in case Gin does not come back in time, pick out some parts for him, you obviously know what would be just the ticket for him."

[Caitlin Windancer]

To Tenkai before Takeda calls them into the cockpit.

Well you won't have to wait long its almost ready.
I know what Gin likes but if there is something you prefer or special you want me to make then I can include it when I cook the next time.

After Takeda calls them into the cockpit.

I don't know Takeda. I have never seen anything like this before. She looks around with wide eyes trying to take it all in. Though I know some ship collectors who would love to get their hands on some of these ships. They are not made anymore.

Phedra just shakes her head amazed. Wow! Is all she can say.

[Takeda]

"It is somewhat eerie, is it not? It almost feels like were being watched somehow."

Takeda consults the sensors, and also scans the frequencies on the coms units.
"Dweezel, what frequency are you being signaled on? I am barely picking up power readings, the levels are so low that they just might be power cores in hibernation modes"

Dweezel responds in his much more usual buzz.
<droidspeak> Hcom protocol, lower hyperspace range 18.7GHz

Takeda goes to punch it into the com and pauses.
"Wait, there is no 18.7, the band tops out at 14.2; or at least for this equipment that is the max."

Dweezel buzzes an affirmative and then whistles a little insult about the coms or who failed to upgrade them. He points yet again with his manipulator arm and whistles excitedly.

"I see it, give me a second to get there will you?"
Takeda steers the ship closer to one of the ancient leviathan cruisers and clicks on the forward lights as they skim across its shadowed surface. With further insistence Dweezel points out a docking bay built into and out of the ship. With a heavy sigh, Takeda guides the craft in cautiously there is much debris collected in this little nook. After a moment of nothing much of interest, Takeda turns the ship in place to exit, Dweezel on the other hand reaches out with his manipulator arm and slaps the "landing gear down" button.

In the ensuing few heartbeats Takeda starts to reach out to hit the "landing gear up button" but stops and instead covers his eyes with his free hand as the darkened space outside the ship seemingly turns into daylight as dozens of lightpanels snap on. As his eyes recover he begins cursing in Kwa at Dweezel and the universe in general (it is pretty obvious from the tone). But stops before he hits the throttle, for he now sees the electric blue haze at the edge of the bay.

"So help me Trashcan if you get us killed - I am going to haunt you and your legacy models for the rest of eternity."

He lets go of the controls for a moment as the ship settles to the "floor" of the hangar. It could have been worse he supposes, since there was nothing to indicate what was "up". Luckily they had been on the winning side of the coin-toss this time. Within just a few seconds it is apparent that full gravity is achieved as the debris comes settling down, some of it pinging off the ships hull and view-port. A short moment later and the view-port fogs on the outside.

Takeda looks at the instruments and then at Dweezel before looking to everyone else.
"Nearly standard gravity and pressure, it is breathable out there, Type1. I am getting energy readings now obviously..."

[Gin Xyrin]

~looking at cait tenkai shrugs~ "what ever you make is good spend most of your time eatting bread crumbs before going dormient sooo i have no taste preferences"

~looking at the ring he shrugs~ "I have the feeling that things will start getting really interesting"

~hearing takeda's question about parts he thinks for a second~ "give me a moment i have to retrieve something from the idiot's stash" ~walking over to the cases that hold all of the weapons tenkai flips it open before grabbing both sides of the storage material holding the weapons in place safely setting it down he reveals a stock pile of necesities at least that was how gin viewed them.~ "six identical sets of clothing minus the vest figured that would a one of a kind thing, paper schematics for failed experiments, a week of basic MREs smart, a burn kit figures, oh here we are six extra datapads" ~grabbing one for takeda, cait, phedra, and Ayu'lesh he quickly on gin's primary creates a list of materials and tools before downloading it to the others, and walks back offering one to each of them the screen brightly shining showing a basic list of tools ranging from fusion cutters to basic run of the mill hammers with specs on which and guidelines dictating a general idea for everyone to work with including high density metals, hydralics set ups, and any spare parts~

"while we're out and about here more than one set of eyes would be required, this is for the idiots sake, and this is basic idea anything could be use full" ~he stops feeling a shift in things before glancing at takeda~ "what's going on"

~getting the answer as takeda speaks he cocks an eyebrow~ "we're in a breathable enviornment in space so that means whatever you just landed in is still functional, intriuging"

[Caitlin Windancer]

Cait looking around. Eerie is right. It is like walking into a tomb. A tomb that is occupied by something alive. She gives a shiver.

She watches the interaction between Dweezel and Takeda without saying anything. Though she raises an eyebrow at some of their exchanges.

This is amazing. It is still working? After all this time? Do we trust it?

She takes the datapad from Tenkai. What's this? Oh okay. A parts wish-list? She says with a smile.

Phedra just nods as she takes the datapad and slips it into her belt.

So are we going to go exploring? she says to Takeda.

[Takeda]

Takeda looks at Cait with a funny expression.

"Trust it? Are you serious? No, I do not trust it at all. But it still needs to be checked out. I think it would be a very good idea for everyone to get ready... trust it... hah!"

Takeda gets handed the datapad and looks it over...
"I think Gin could fill his list 10 times over in this place.

I am going to go armor up and get ready for an excursion. Anyone else with me?"
He says the last looking to Phedra as a means of answering her, when she asks her question .

Ayu'lesh stands there somewhat dumb-struck, only half snapping out of it as Takeda mentions going out... While some might mistake it as some evil enchantment of the darkside, one can see the credit-symbols in her eyes as she heads to her bunk to get her things. For in one's who's life depended upon the scrap=money=food equation, it was most understandable the draw of this place was something practical, not evil. Though to what extent she was being effected by the malevolence of the place is uncertain.

[Caitlin Windancer]

I meant do we trust the atmosphere? I would suggest wearing bio-suits just to be on the safe side. We don't know what may contaminates are in the air. No sense in taking any chances that way.

I'm with you. I would like to change into my armor first. And get my Sidhe weapons. I would suggest we go in fully armed just in case. She gets up and walks to her quarters.

Phedra nods in agreement. I'm in as well.

[Takeda]

Takeda nods to Cait before she heads off to ready herself.
"I was not going to don a whole suit, but I am wearing my helmet with a respirator. The readings say it is normal atmosphere, but that never has meant healthy either.

Ayu'lesh walks over to the door to Takeda's quarters and pauses there watching him before she speaks.
"Please tell me you have some spare gear in my size, I do not want to have to stay on this ship all by myself."

Takeda nods,
"I do, as a matter of fact it was used recently by one of Caitlin's people, it is in decent repair. I will get it out for you in a moment."

Takeda finishes laying out his own gear and retrieves the suit Hana had worn earlier for Ayu'lesh to use. He then returns to his quarters and changes into his armor.

[Caitlin Windancer]

Up to you Takeda. I for one want full protection. Cait says as she walks out. Phedra follows her out.

Cait put on her armor then the bio-suit. She puts on her weapons over the bio-suit this time. She doesn't want a repeat of what happened last time.

She then checks on dinner and puts it on warm so it won't burn.

When all is ready she heads to the cargo bay.

I'm ready.

Phedra slips into her own bio-suit and then follows Cait to the cargo bay.

Me too.

[Takeda]

Ayu'lesh slips out of her tube wearing the spacesuit and heads to the cargo-bay. Seeing Cait and Phedra are there already she heads on over to them before making some last minute adjustments to the suit.
"Are things always this rushed, or is this a special occasion?"


Takeda steps out of his room and heads to the cockpit for a moment and removes the main lockout key, just in case... he hangs it from its cord around his neck and drops it down inside his armor. He stops by the locker he uses outside his room and retrives several spare magazines for his battle rifle. He does a quick once over of his gear, then heads to the cargo-bay, Dweezel following on his heels.
"I think Tenkai is still trying to sort out all his equipment, if you all are ready, let us at least check out the immediate area."

Takeda slips on his helmet, then pulls the battle rifle from his shoulder and loads it. Rifle at the ready, he hits the button to lower the ramp.

[Caitlin Windancer]

Cait smiles at Ayu'lesh. No, not usually this rushed. Dweezel seems particularly excited about this.

You have your weapons with you? You might want to have them handy.

To Takeda.

Alright. You're taking point then? She asks as she follows him out. Phedra trails behind them alert for any possible danger. Cait has her left hand on the hilt of her lightsaber with her Sidhe sword in her right hand.

[Gin Xyrin]

~walking over to his gear tenkai kneels down giving the gear a good once over he pulls out one of the slugthrowers popping open the ammo cyclinder before flicking his wrist locking the cyclinder in place before giving it a spin and holstering it, grabbing wolf he pulls the slide back chambering a round before ejecting the magazine loading another round into the mag and reloading the slugthrower and holstering it~ "good and good"

~as he listens to everyone talking he nods a couple of time at valid points not really caring but noting the possible envoirnmental danger he slips the custom respirator and com system on pressutizing it in place.~ "working"

~as everyone starts heading out he tosses on the interlocking holster system. drawing wolf he spins the slugthrower in his right hand. hiking out of the ship he looks at the group before walking up towards takeda and cait~ "rather inturiging place this is, i'm going to take a look around" ~he says while dialing his com system to the groups~

~walking off to the side he starts digging through things with his left hand keeping the noise to a minimum while keeping his senses focused on the area around him to keep from being snuck up on~ "hmm some of this could be of use"
