Jarkenan Assualt

[Jacob Ressik]

"Aye sir."

"Yes there was a possibilty of droids, which was confirmed 5 minutes ago.  So are we going Charge the EMP Cannon?"

[Vil'iata Najadum]

Vil'iata guided her skimmer ever lower into the atmosphere as she headed for the freshwater source she'd managed to identify.

Suddenly alarm klaxons rang out through the little ship and it rocked roughly sideways. Startled she keyed in a series of rapid commands on her console in an attempt to find out what had just happened.

::Outer hull breach in aft section. Activating emergency bulkheads.::

::Manuevering thrusters offline. Impulse engine offline.::

Frantically punching in commands she tried to get the impulse engines back online but without success.

::Impact with planet surface in 10 seconds.::

::9....8....7::

Terrified and starting to panic she did the only thing her scant training told her to do in this kind of situation, she released an all-frequencies distress beacon.

::6....5....4::

All rational thought was now subsumed into her panic. Without thinking or even knowing she did it Vil'iata broadcast an immensely powerful emotional wave of pure, unadulterated panic.

::3....2....1::

*CRASH!!! The skimmer and Vil'iata impacted on the alien world in a dramatic ball of fire.*

[Balkazar]

*The men dropped the stretcher the snake like being was being carried on and dropped to the ground.  One grabbing his ribs while the other marine was grabbing his face in immense pain from the non-lethal venom*

"Back off and maintain positions and above all DONT FIRE!." Balkazar had ordered.

*Dropping his weapons even against Eastwoods objections, walked towards the scared snake weaponless and hands extending out showing he had no weapons on his person*

<Sensing the emotions from the snake like being, he crouched down 10ft away>

"We wont harm you.  What do they call you?, what are you?" Balkazar asked not knowing if she could understand him or not.

[Balkazar]

"Are you able to Motion glide then?'

[Clyde Eastwood]

"Sir your serect is safe with me starfleet wont know of this or anything else that we talk about privately, just one thing i ask please dont go reading my mind i hate it when people do that and i tend to get a bit violent when they do"

[Jacob Ressik]

"Yes just surrond them and point your weapons at them, they should surrender."  He replies

Ressik speaks up "do you want me to take some men around the camp and come from the north?"

[Jacob Ressik]

<After the battle>
Ressik orginise's ULA forces as they assume command of the citadell.

Ressik see's for Marine bring in a man that was clothed in an old style marine uniform that is about 8 months old.

He move's over and begins to listen to conversation.

[Jacob Ressik]

"The LZ is Clear the Pumas could't get of the plains, thus a waste of space, no the easy access is through the small tunnel unfortunatly it's the sewage outlet but, it's the best way in."

[Jacob Ressik]

"Ok, If you insist."

*A force of troops can be seen entering plain from the south side.*

"Well here comes part of my force."

[Balkazar]

"How many droids are we talking?"

[Balkazar]

*Balkazar and his chosen companies were marching threw the canyons ever so wary they were being watched and expecting to be attacked at any moment, they continued to trudge threw a muddy ravine as they headed towards the fortress*

[Balkazar]

"Hmmmmm, with the ULA forces they would disrupt there reinforcements, then the ULA forces inside will blow the power, but hopefully they will open the front door for us, lock it in place then blow the power, hopefully by the time we get there, their EMP will be fully charged."

"Hmmmmm, not sure about what to do with the Lizard but it needed help and it needs to be taken care of.  Perhaps its an asset, who knows at the moment.  We will deal with it when it comes that time, just like the fortress.  We do after all have bravo company as back up just in case.  IF! we can knock out there AA guns we could send in air support with lil trouble.  Once in, we try and find this professor."

[Vil'iata Najadum]

Vil'iata remained tightly coiled, ready to strike out at the least provocation. She started slightly when the one up front yelled and hissed louder. However, upon seeing them dropping their weapons she relaxed slightly.

Vil'iata was surprised when the being who appeared to be in charge started forward weaponless, his hands out. This attitude went along way towards calming her down further.

When he started speaking she shook her head, trying to indicate that she couldn't understand him. Something occured to her, the lead being seemed to be reacting to her emotions. Acting on the premise that if he could read her emotions maybe he was of a species attuned to read thoughts she focused on him and projected, "I am called Vil'iata, of House Major Najadum. I am a Sylesi."

She relaxed out of her defensive posture and took up one more in line with her highly curious personality. Tentively, feeling out the situation and watching their emotional aura closely for any sign of danger, "You really mean no harm? Who shot down my skimmer then if it was not you?"

[Vil'iata Najadum]

Vil'iata accepted his explanation of the other's behaviour and proceded to ignore him. With a purely mental laugh, "We prefer to call our motion gliding rather than slithering as that brings up so much unpleasant imagry for most species we've dealt with."

Nodding, "I understand and I will try my best to make myself useful to you."

[Balkazar]

"I would be honored.  Which do you hope it to be ? boy or a girl?.  You think you would be a good father?"
