Turn 3: Blast off!Stanislaw Chuzhinsky, Simon Tallage, Amy Stanton, Johann von Moltke, and Sean O'Driscoll"Shall we get to business, captain? Awaiting orders!"
Once the captain gives the order and all the crew have taken appropriate positions, begin launch. Plot a path to the system P.L 609 is in. Prepare to enter warp mode.
"Here goes a whole lotta something! Hope you said all you ever wanted to your respective families!"
"Time for takeoff? Sweet. Let's fire this baby up and see what she can do, Stan," Amy said.
Amy reads that map, then gets to her console so she can sit there/not impede launch/look official for the press releases that will doubtlessly happen.
"May all our travels be safe."
Make ready at the sensor console, preparing to scan anything we pass on our way.
"Very well, commence liftoff sequence. Nobiscum deus"
Order the launch
(play
this when you read the post.)
A fire was burning in captain Johann's eyes when he stood up, and began to speak. " We are different
in so many ways. We come from different backgrounds, different homes, different country's, and up
until today we lived completely different lives. But in the most important way, we are the same.
We are all human, we all see our world burning. We are all scared of what could happen, what we
could lose. Some of the members of our species say that its game over. That its humanity's last line,
and the fat lady is beginning her warmup act. But that is not what I see when I look at all of you.
I don't see a old dogy laying down to die! Noo! I see men and women ready to fight for our existences, ready to use tooth, and nail to crawl there way too a better future. I see hope for a new tomorrow, and the iron will to make it happen!" Cheer erupted from the ships crew. "Now take us out of here Stanislaw".
"Aye aye captain, here goes a whole lotta something! Hope you said all you ever wanted to your respective families! "Time for takeoff? Sweet. Let's fire this baby up and see what
she can do, Stan," Amy said. The rest of bridge crew got ready for takeoff.
Fireworks filed the air as The Imperial Unicorn began leaving the earth. The crowed pressed against
the guard rails, trying to get a look. News helicopters circled over head, their cameras filming the
event for prosperity. Every crew member of the Unicorn were now celebrity's. There success or failure
would be remembered forever.
The whole ship was rumbling as the ship sped through the atmosphere, its impulse engine moving
pushing it faster, and faster. Just when it felt like the ship would break itself apart, it suddenly
stopped. Earth was now behind them, endless space was now ahead.
"Look at these stars, you would never see them like this back on earth." Stanislaw Chuzhinsky
stated. "They truly are a marvel aren't they?" Said Simon. Johann looked over at them , eyes still
ablaze "Do you two want to stargaze, or do your job?" Start paying attentions, before I make you." Johann then called Sean with his Communications console. "Mister Driscoll, is the warp core ready?"
"She is primed, and ready to go captain."Good, Chuzhhinsky, set course for P.L 609, warp 5."
Stanislaw gave the well dressed man a salute. "Yes captain, Hold on to your pants every one!"
He then pressed the big red button on his console., and in a instant, earth became a speck
in the distance.
ROLL FOR WARP SICKNESS![/b]
Sean O'Driscoll End Rolls 3: Sean dose not feel to well, but he keeps it together.
( Minor warp sickness, -1 for all rolls next turn. )
Dr. Leon S Malard End Rolls 6: He is a doctor, he can't get sick.
Johann von Moltke End Rolls 5: He doesn't even need to sit down.
Simon Tallage End Rolls 6 -1: With all the gamma rays he was hit with over his life time as a
scientist, mere speed is a walk in the park.
Amy Stanton End Rolls 4: She was not effected by the wiggly, wobbling space, and time.
Stanislaw Chuzhinsky End Rolls 3 : Look at that, he made a mass allover his console. You
would think a pilot would be used to this.
( minor warp sickness, -1 for all rolls the next turn. )
Six hours of warp drive later, the ship suddenly stopped. " What the hell, why has the ship stopped
moving?" Simon spoke up. " Uhh captain, I think you need to see this". He then turned the view
screen to an outside view. A massive cloud of red gas filled it. Lightning frequently penetrating its
dark haze. "What in gods name is that?" " A gas cloud sir, and it is in our way. We could go around
it, but its electrical discharge makes warp drive too dangerous to use. So we are stuck with
impulse, making a round trip take weeks." " A delay like that would cost thousand of lives, that can't
happen!" Johann yelled. "Well we always could go through."
Dr Leon S MalardWander down to the armory and look at whats in it then take 2 pistols, 1 rifle, 1 set of utility tools and 1 set of heavy combat armor back to the med bay and store it in an empty locker.
Wanting to be protected when he was in the med bay, (mostly from his patients ), He went too they
armory to get as much guns as he could carry. ( End Roll 1 ) Which, apparently was one laser pistol.
"Why are weapons so damn heavy?" Defeated, Leon started walk back too his med bay, but half
way there the ship started taking off. (Dex roll 1 ) The ship was shaking uncontrollably, and he
could not keep his balance. He tripped over his own feet, falling face first into the ground.
He immediately lost consciousness. His lucky day this was not.
