The family collection:

her father looked over at the poster, no fading side of building across form them.

"You know I never thought I would see an Utoxier-Lee on public view covered in mud, reminds me of your 7th birthday and the party we had in the gardens."

She looked over at the poster.

"Hells that one, I hated that shoot, three days of arty times arguing over lighting and blood spatter. If only the masses knew that battle field was stage H in the capitals film studios."

They where sat in a family limo outside a run down area of north side.
Her farther had picked her up late yesterday saying little about why just they he wanted to spend some time with is most Nature loving child. A in family joke that seems out of place in today's world but made her happy. He had booked rooms for them in the best hotel, hers had been the size of a town codo. She slept as best she could, now and then she had bad dreams but she used her training to lock them away. Last hight had been nice, a change of speed. They had talked family no business. Over dinner the subject children came up again.

"Your mother said she meet with Marchesa Ziirkaa the others day, she was talking about her brother Agamemnon. He was with you on the Lightbringer was he not. She told your mother he's still single, and it would be a such a shame to.."

She had put her hand up to stop him.

"No, just no, tell mother thanks, but no thanks, I married a once for the family, don't even think about a second time. Also the good Doctor is married to science by all accounts so Tell mother no to any one she may have in mind now or ever."

She said this in a firm voice.

He had changed the subject, she had gone to be fuming, when would mother stop trying to sort her life out and just let her live the bloody thing.
She stopped herself, she was being to hard, they loved her and this was how they showed it.

When they got up Father was all secretive.

"Today I am going to show you something, you went as a child but I think you where to young to remember, Today your are going to meet your great uncle Peroneus"

"I thought he had passed away"

"No he just got older, you will see now sit back, this will be a long drive"

No here they where outside a run down area of North side looking at posters. Two men came over in suits and opened the Limo door.

"Come on, he's opened the place up for us."

They headed into an old looking building, some kind of old hotel. Must have been pre long night.

Once inside an old lift down, down a long way, 20 floors down.
"This place was built as a bunker over 500 years ago, by a mad family member, lots of unrest back then wile the colony was established. he wanted to keep the family sliver safe."

The lift stopped on the bottom level. there to meet them was an old fat man. uncle Peroneusm, he kissed her on both cheeks, then greeted her father.

"Come come, all the lights are on, I wanted to show you Annara, the things I have here. Once your father told me of your need how could I say no"

Now she really was confused, then as she walked out onto the under ground bunker, she knew what her father had brought her here.


I'm wrong, your right it's number of rolls not +n on role

jet lag

Ranks
01-02 +1 roll
02-03 +2 Rolls
03-04 +3 rolls.
on last muster our.

+1 on roll for being 05+

But just spotted you can roll on the same table.
So if the GM will let me,
Befits two rolls
4+4 re-roll 4 as its dull to have the same. 1d6 ⇒ 3 +1 Edu yerr now I can do a fun thing, pointless but fun.


Rank gone, shes back to being a lady

And MDT,
Whoo hooo ok
I say that because my two 4 for mustering out could have had +1 for Rank.
5 Cash = 20,000 Cr
5 Other is TAS, 4500 a mouth of which she has to spend 1700 a mouth to keep her SCO at 17. :(

Look up Soc you really have to spend 100cr a mouth to keep you Soc level or it starts dropping YIKES!!


EDIT

HAhahah OMG sorry
I meant

I sniff PM's [Meaning PM's sent to GM]

I'm crying laughing at being so jet lagged here

sorry guys.

but that was dumb funny


@Viktoria
You talking game play logistics I take it then, if not my points still stand, and its the rank given in the rule book.
But as players I think we know which PC is which.

That is unless you feel the Navy should have the sole rights to the name and rank. Which I would find very funny as that resembling the very real world argument over who lays claim to the Name "Capitan" Navy types not happy gun toting-Pongo and Stomping Marines using a name fit Only for well dressed and mannered Navy types. Troopers thinking the Navy can go get a haircut the bunch of face hair loving wimps. :P

Where you see a problem, I see a great opportunity for game play here.

:)


@Ophelia Holt - Change the name just cus the Navy can't tell the difference between "Marine Captain" and "Navy Captain" there would be a fight in the officers quarters. Your talking like a military is logical, thinks things thought and even "care" what each branch feels.
No no no I will make it clear she's a Marine Captain have no fear.

hehe

Also Do you think your Doctorate of Philosophy in Solid Mechanics and Materials should be a Engineering Doctorate [Eng-D] as its piratical not Philosophical, and based on Masters of Engineering work. :)

MoE/Eng-D


So Annara, Vathan and Gómez
All ended up in the Marine, Annara was drafted, Vathan and Gómez signed up.

On A side not Annara over the last 4 years has dropped the use of Her Ladyship and taken the her Rank in its place. Only when she really has to dos she use the Title Lady. But this did not stop the troops calling her
"Her Ladyship" behind her back.

@Vathen
Annara will meet with you after things cool off and say there is no hard feelings. When you make it clear to her you don't want your old job back, She pays you 2000Cr severance pay and gives you a glowing letter of Refinance. She also tells you she's Been Drafted Signed up for the Marine.

Vathan she also feels like she let you down, letting you go like that.
She feels obliged to your PC as well.

@Gomez
Once you tell her your signing up to the Marine like her, she pays you 2000Cr severance pay and gives you a glowing letter of Refinance.

Once in she pulls some stings to get you into her platoon.
In the Raid you saved her life, she now owes you big time.
The sad thing was she was called the Hero and got promotion and you got just a medal, but she knows it was you that saved the day not her. Now the tables are turned and she feels obligated to you. Honour means a lot to a noble

How dos that sound for a back plot for you PC. hehe.

GM I will take the 4000Cr off my PC.

Annara Utoxier-Lee is a changed woman 4 years on, one failed mirage to a Vid-Star whos addition to Drugs lead to his early death, all wile she was in the Marines. The Press pack hounding her.
3 years as a poster woman for the new Marines with little action until the Raid on the Camp. Her being lorded as hero in the press wile in the ranks many know it was Trooper Gomez did more then was said.

She is harder, harsher, more world wise, there is less pomp about her.
Shes not the little Girl who needed body Guards any more.


sorry stamina is 1d10 not 1d6 1d10 ⇒ 6


Paths, lets mix it up.
Noble 1 to 6, Marine 7 to 12 Army 13 to 18 Academic 19 to 20
1d20 ⇒ 7 Yes the all new space Marine core

Duty 1d20 ⇒ 20 raid! seems her Ladyship and
Fernán Miguel Gómez went on the same raid.
So how did she do on it.

Survive DC6 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (13) + 2 = 15 She lived

Commissioned DC8 1d20 + 0 ⇒ (19) + 0 = 19 Yes - Rank - Lieutenant

Promotion DC6 1d20 + 2 ⇒ (7) + 2 = 9 Yes - Rank - Captain

Decorated DC4 1d20 ⇒ 7 Yes [MCUF]+2000Xp

Exp Bous DC4 1d20 ⇒ 20 Yes
1d4 ⇒ 1 x 1000xp

Mustering out.
Cash
1d6 ⇒ 4 10,000Cr
Other
1d6 ⇒ 4 Weapon

Using feat for PSI-Talent -> Telepathy

War needs its hero's and once the news casts and book signing where over, Lady Annara Utoxier-Lee was informed that rather than conscripting her into the new space Marines, the powers that be would like her to do her duty and sign up. Becoming a poster person for space Marines recruitment.

One of the Hero's that changed history
Bravest of the brave.
With little chose on the matter she signed up and off to Boot camp she went.
Her family was running now a number of new business arming and making the tech needed for the new mission. She was of a new type of Marine, the PSI-Trooper and that she did care about.
The 1st time out on a raid it all went pare-shaped, but for the actions of Fernán Miguel Gómez and herself, they shifted what would have been a blood bath of Marines into a victory. She how ever was not happy. At the hearings after the raid, it was her and her singled out for promotion and distinction. When all along she knew it was Gómez who has seen the trap. Gómez who had lead the counter attack and Gómez pushed aside.

Stamina 1d6 ⇒ 5


"Light-Bringer this is the Dawn. I hope you are all well and that the Ships IA is looking after you all there. Could you please advise the Station on your ETA. Also after talking to them, the counsel is now holding action wile it debates the implications of the broadcast from your ships AI. Light bringer I would advise checking all your ships systems such as life support, power, life pods just in case."

What she talking about!! you do that any way, your not stupid, silly woman knows nothing.

S-Motive DC 10:
She is hinting that you may need to get off that ship fast for so e reason.

S-Motive DC 15:
Thinking about it, she is saying you maybe in danger some how from outside.

S-Motive DC 20:
Why would she say that, well could be some on or close to the counsel may wish the ship and the Jump point gone. They may just try to take matters into their own hands as you come back.


"Please open on for me, I would like to hear how much control of the LightBringer they have. Can they dock with the station?

She says worriedly

"I don't want to lose that ship and her crew now we have come so close"


Sorry she ment from the crew not the ship, should have made that clear
Post transmission, can they still dock with station etc


Comes in and talks to Holt,
"well that was a long meeting. hows it going? is the light bringer talking to us?


Happy to take a level of SPACE MARINE!!


sorry I posted the same thing twice but needed to spell check it and add some stuff. Now all done :)


EDIT LAST POST TO THIS, Ok MDT, missed the edit point but how about this, three debit points, with her talking in each one.- Edit to slow things up

Lady Annara worked, they wanted to shoot the Light bringer out the back. It had been a very close, the majority of the council had called for the destruction of the light-bringer with a blanketed radio blackout. She had stalled them, playing on the groups weakness, bringing up things that kept them talking and not shooting. But why, why had she done this, it was simple she had had a feel, a hunch from the time her mind had been at the ship, she had felt fear yes but hope. The stall worked and then she waited.

What came next was the ship info came in, it could take on the whole systems defiance systems if it so wanted. She was angrily called name, she was to blame for the delay. This thing now could not be stopped, her career was over some even called for jail even the exaction as a traitor. Such was the anger at her, But she let them rage and begged the stars that the LightBringer said something to help her.

More waiting then

Then the broadcast came, she was saved,
It started a s***t storm over the wire, but she acted fast even while it was still sending she sent massages to select members of the council. It was her life on the line now, they had to forget what she had done to trick them and move on, on to what was now in front of them. A clear and present danger with all the opportunity’s that went with such knowledge would offer. Some would want to hide, blast the jump point and go back to things as normal. Short sighted and pointless. But it was the one big thing that hit them that made some think this way, Danger! Big nasty and out to get them at any time.

Her hope was the military group on the council, She could see them thinking as the message from outside came in. her mind raced, they would talk fear and worry, she would need to outline the opportunity’s as fast as she could. Some where with her already, the smart ones, they could see what she could. More power and System GDP going to the military, The industrials like her would need to aid the arm up, new contracts, new plants and tech more money. The political group would need to be show Jobs and taxs, The Empire was back and they worked as a team. The science types would need to poured over the Xeon implication, not one but two news races. In other words they could be hooked, moved for hiding to expanding. With a new jump point and a helpful IA + ship full of tech! the long night would be over. But they would have to win this argument, two sides, the close the door group the other Kick the door down group. This meant a way back in, she now started a excited, worried, hurried debate, she would be a Kick the door downer

To the fleet admiral "This would of course I agree mean a need for a new Navy to be created, should ask for funds, my fellow industrials will help. Could we get the politicals to agree, sold with new jobs and taxs. LA" .

To the Army head, "The planet will need to be on a war footing from this moment, We could blast the jump point then go back to noraml lower level of troop numbers, mind you of we kept the gate open, we would have to keep a high level of readiness and of course high troop number. Feel Admiral is has an idea for a new Navy. This can be sold to the publics as a new great adventure LA"

To the head of the Industrial group "If they blast the jump point there will be no need to build an industrial military complex to service the new Interstellar-Navy being talked about. My family will be offering full support to a Interstellar-Navy and keeping the jump point intact. We should set up a meeting and see who we can best asses contracts to maximise our effects to add our world. This would not be a cartel, gods for bid, no this would be a planning group, you understand. LA "

The head of the science council "Of course if they blast that gate there would be no need for any new research institutions. I have talked with my fellow industrialists and they are very keen to pay for reserch into the jump points use and the information on new tech we will need to use it. Also the new Interstellar-Navy being talked about will new such research, I can see how you and your fellows will be in great demand with an open gate in place.

Then last of all to the political members, “If we blast that jump point we will be safe and you will be remembered as the ones who closes the door. But know that talk is under way for a new Interstellar-Navy, backed by the industrial complex and science community. We could mine the Jump point but not blow it. Meaning we can have out cake and eat it. With new industrial growth, the jobs and taxs from witch will pay for this. New research centres and teams working on new tech. Influence and growth with one aim, to protect the planet and re-enter the Interstellar community, in other words power for years to come and a legacy that will never be forgot”

As she sent her messages she could see the affect, her own words coming back at her, used by others, they would be the ones remembered for saying thing, but she did not care, a short while ago her head was on the black. Now she was back. Influencing the powers that be and they would not forget. What would come of her intervention who knows, but she had done all she could, Some would have thought of what she has of course but, but just sending a conformation of their thoughts would help her politically. Then it was over, she and the others giving expert advice where asked to log out of the session. The counsel was not in closes session but as she was logging off more than one message came back to her. “We will talk more” “Like minds” “My thinking as well Lady Annara”

“I will set up a meeting” There was no name on that last one, humm?? was that good news.

She logged off, All she could do now was hope her words worked.
She felt drained, but happy, yes a danger out there, but there was now an "out there" to see. A chance to be part of something bigger.

Ok GM her hope is to get back in good books, and get her influence back after tricking the council. :) also left a plot hook, who wants to meet her ... To other players, this is what she dos, try to not get the PC side lined, with I hope influence she can ask for you guys to be a team.


Lady Annara had won the argument, it had been a close the. The majority of the council had called for the distraction of the light bringer at a radio black out to try and stop what ever it was doing. But she had had a feel, a hunch from the time her mind had been in the ship. The argument had raged, and she had worked on their fears and weakness.
"What could it do it do" "we could anger a greater power, retaliation may come"
The the ship info came in, it could take out every thing if stopped. That had given her the stick she needed. It's slowed them down, there would be no agreement in time.
Finely the broadcast. One thing hit them. Danger! Big nasty and out to get them at any time. The war military reps on the council just about cane in their pants over that one. More plant GDP going there way and power in a real live war. The industrials like her could see the credit signs. The science reps just poured over the Xeon implication, not one but two news races. In other words they where hooked, with the jump point found and an IA + ship full of tech! the long night would be over. She had stopped them, now she joined in the excited, worried, hurried debate. "A new Navy would have to be created" she pointed that out from the get go. "The planet would be on a war footing from this moment" agreement on that from all sides on that suggestion. "This would mean building an industrial military complex" more nodding as she dropped this into the debate, that was the industrials on side, and finally. "Of course new research institutions would have to be built to study the new tech and Xeon implications, there was after all a large amount of data pour over" that got the science reps on side. At one point one of the politically high members made move for the meeting to go closed council wile the thrashed out the new taxation. Implementation needed, she and the others giving expert advice logged out of the session. She got text saying, "be on call ready should the council need you" and that was that. She had won, and they had in the end got what they wanted.

She felt drained, but happy, yes a danger out there, but an "out there." A chance to be part of something bigger. Well now they needed to dock.

"Captain can you get me a ship to ship link with the Light bringer please"


Thursday I'm heading to china for a years contract hehe
VPN time

GM did the ship just talk only on itself or did it bread cast to the planet ?


Soooo agree


I think the things got a pre-recorded message its going to give any lost colony. I would let it talk 1st then blow the C__p out of it if it means harm.

Reports

Mission Report Navy:

Top-Secret
Security Clearance Alpha-2

Cross link to Mission log Ref 16171-19

Personal overview.
A high risk mission with a small chance of success estimated at 12%.
How ever once close to the USO we found to be damaged by heat and radiation.

Cross link to Mission log Ref 16171-42

The ship was scanned for life and power, NO life but areas of power.

Cross link to Mission log Ref 16171-51

After a complicated dock, a single crew EVA to the craft found it to be Extra-system Navy/war craft. [Later found to be Multi Race Extra-system craft, Race Class Vargar. No havers where found or Azlan.]

Cross link to Mission log Ref 16171-53

Found on the Extra-system craft, was mass death, from what looked to be one catastrophic event. How ever on ship was one active AI with data.

Cross link to Mission log Ref 16171-68 to 79

And on intact ships boat. This was taken by means of a three man away team. Both Craft then disembarked with out indecent and set course back to the home base-Space-station.

End preliminary report.

Mission Report notes -Planet Counsel:

Security level Alpha-a or higher to read,
TOP SECRET.

See Mission reports in-closed

Contact

The USO had no living occupants so diplomatic contact could not be made
How ever the ships boat AI aided us in such a way as to be classes at AI scale human+. But it seems to be working under its own directives. Directives given to it from what can be guest as the Ships controllers. Out of system and possibly Empire Navy. It referred to us as a "Lost Colony and was able to hack our crafts computer with ease. Reading the data banks. From this it then scrambled a considerable amount of information to stop it getting into our hands. Then aided in its removal from the derelict.

ADDED

The USO's boat has not started to broadcast a message [See notes]
I have a feeling the agenda it started on with the hack has now moved to a new faze. I feel we will be informed of
1] Our ownership by a 3ed party
2] The fact a major war is under-way
3] An obligation to get some information to a 3ed party.
4] Obligations to a 3ed party.
5] Imminent danger form 3ed party's
6] A protocol for reintroduction to the greater galactic community etc.

End report.

PSI-Corp Mission Repost:

Classified

Utoxier-Lee Industry's Mission Repost:

"It is good to be in the great out doors this time of year. So many thing one can do"


her Ladyship is already in the the Diplomatic Psi-Corps [im playing it , your in Psi Corps for life if trained by them], I have no problem with New Marine Psi-Corps the M-PC or Merchant Marine Diplomatic Psi-Corps. the MMD-PC hehe :)


Sits in the Mess room next to the flight deck hearing this and what the others say.

"Get comms to the Station, I do not want our find shot down because of some mistaken idea we are about to be attacked.'


My vote:

1: Take as much time as you can
2: Meet us back at the Station.


So GM, guys how dos Vathan running the show on the new ship sound.
What do you think Vathan you happy to do this wile the others are away.

Vathan are you then going to stay then as long to grab all your team can.
If you do, GM what would they get back. Also GM will we be docking at the space station when we get to the planet?

:) just some idears


The Trip Back

She sleeps as the ship pulls away, not hearing the clanking and ship sounds or the push of gravity, she is out cold.
Then some time later she wakes, going the flight deck and looks as the techs pour over the data from the derelict. She asks to see some, and taking out her PDA starts outlining a report on the mission.

"Well 21 days gives me time to write my report Captain."

Over the next three weeks she asks each of the crew about the events and what the thought and felt.

She spends sometime with the Captain, making a timeline and filling out details. Images from the ships cams are catalogued and backed up. A copy of the reposts is placed in each of the escape pods and updated daily.

She spends time doing her Psion meditations, sending her mind out to see areas of the ship that are hard to find. In her room alone she moves objects with her mind. Then she sleeps and lets her mind play over the events.

In her down time she sleeps and when in zero G to lean her Vacc suit skills, practising over and over.

During this time she waited to her how the others had done on the Lightbringer.


As theDawn gets ready for the trip back, Lady Annara makes her way to her rooms and gets into the G webbing ready for the trip back. It takes some time, as she feels so weak, but she is strong willed. She has no doubt they have done their best now all they needed to do we all get back. She closed her eyes and slept.


Sorry me bad, I will always post emotion, should have made it more clear,

She was very cold and unemotional in fact. Shes a noble, you tell others off with out drama and emotion hehe. :)


Holt outburst is a bot extreme the lady is more talking very business like.


So this year I have gone from -8 GMT Canada to GMT +0 EU and from the 8th Asia +9 for the next 2 years :)


She stops when she hears Vathan agree to go.
It was harsh but it had to be done
She knew him to well, he was head strong and stubborn and they just did not have the time for one of his heel digs.

She waits still Vathan is down getting ready. she then go's back and takes her seat once more. IT takes a wile, she is very weak, but she sat once more. She looked on as the others got ready, she was so much dead weight now, her part done. Her thoughts went to how things would be in the future. If they got back, academics and historians would inspected and pored over that little chat, Whole PhDs would be written about it. She would be painted in a dark light, she had been harsh, cutting, but what mattered was Vathan was now suiting up and doing as asked. Let them say what they will, that was all that mattered.

She takes a key on a chain from around her neck and places it on the table in front of her.

"You will need my key with the Captains Holt to open the weapons locker for Vathan"
