[h2]Charlotte - Research Facility[/h2] Little step by little step, the little witch was nearing the end of the half-ruin half-metal corridor that led to a reinforced metal door. From what the indications all around said, it appeared to be the place where Cinder Fall's tool was stored, however the door before the little creature was gargantuan and apparently pretty dense. There was a computer not too far away from it, requiring many identification procedures in order to activate the safety lock's release. Knowing this, Charlotte simply released her giant mouth and slowly wolfed down the giant metal door, piece by piece, nearly unbreakable matter ended up turned into nutrients for the monster. Once revealed, the room hidden behind safe door was covered in wires of different sizes and shapes, all linked to a sealed machine in the center of the room. There was many computers stationed all around that black box in the center, some linked to smaller wires connected to the mighty machine. Charlotte had no idea what this was, but it was clear that that thing was built to hide something else, or maybe just to protect the surroundings from what it could potentially do? Charlotte's first guess would be to devour the machine-like box that was supposedly hiding the coveted object, but at the same time she could only imagine Cinder's rage if she were to do a little accident. She turned around, her Pyotr still behind her, and faced the other end of the hallway she had just traversed. "[b]CINDER! HURRY UP! I found a super machine! I may hide Cheese behind it![/b]" She wailed wildly as if Cinder was more than done with the previous opponent. Charlotte did her the deafening gunshots as she walked through the hallway but that was the common stuff for SE employees such as herself. Plus she was confident Cinder Fall could take down the little opposition the facility proposed. [h2]Meta-Ridley - The Pirate Ship, In an unknown Universe[/h2] Ridley appeared content when he acknowledged Arragoz's will and confidence toward the task the dragon as offered. Now all that was left was to fly to the destination, which wouldn't be difficult considering Warp Speed was an easy acquirement for Multiverse conscious individuals. The ship was swiftly propelled to a specific destination but it appeared to be the middle of nowhere, a dark place between systems and nothingness. In reality, they were nearing the limits as to where the closest GFS fleet was, but at normal circumstances their awareness of nearby ships wasn't of a concern to Ridley. The biggest problem resided in what they were stationed there for. An image suddenly popped on the control room's windshield, revealing what Ridley was focusing on the entire time during their arrival in the universe. All that one could see was a shining, blue planet the size of Earth (more or less). It was the planet [url=http://vignette1.wikia.nocookie.net/metroid/images/c/c2/Phaaze.jpg/revision/latest/scale-to-width/250?cb=20140808191935]Phaaze[/url], though of course it wasn't the original sentient planet that was vanquished during Ridley's times of corruption. No, this was the effect of the planet's efforts to spread its corruption and duplicate itself in the universe. However, the fact that the Leviathan wormhole managed to transport the seed to an entirely different universe was beyond Space Pirate comprehension. Coating the massive ball of energy was what seemed to be a belt of small particles. Zoomed in closer and it would be clear that the immense amount of ships stationed around the planet was more akin to an asteroid belt than anything. Near the center of the mass was an exceptionally massive battle ship, easily dwarfing the GFS Olympus, and could only be identified as the GFS and UMMA's collaborated effort to keep this planet from being taken by enemy forces. It would be impossible with the current ship to penetrate such a defense, but luckily for SE, Ridley's people perfectly understood Phazon, the chemical element composing the corrupting energy in Phaaze, and discovered many exploits from it. As Ridley hopped down from his throne-like pedestal, he had extracted a red artifact from a platform set next to the aforementioned pedestal. "[b]Arragoz, get the remaining soldiers ready. The pilot will get you into the... Space Marine Mothership. You know what to do. You'll be kept linked to me via your translator. Your only goal is to eliminate all the threats preventing you from bombarding the ship, I'll handle any... Externalities.[/b]" He quickly briefed Arragoz, knowing that he could rely on the Ork for such approaches. As for the captain of the ship, he parted toward his 'Quarters", prepping himself for the upcoming chaos he was going to cause. This was supposed to be quick and eventually cause discord among the UMMA staff which appeared already encumbered by multiple operations happening out of Ridley's reach and control. But either way, SE's state of terror would be greatly augmented through such an erratic and still mysterious act. Why would SE attack both a pathetic pharmaceutical company bent on creating atrocious biological weapons and an extremely dangerous and sentient planet? In either case, it could only lead to bigger catastrophes and chaos for anything that would be involved in it. [hider=OOC]Okay, I will be RPing a soldier, as Earnest did recently, to accompany Arragoz. I really like that Ork character and a little dialogue while screwing around with GFS machinery would be fun. ALSO! GFS is highly advanced in technology and can easily outclass SE soldiers with Phazon enhancements for instance. So stealth would be interesting here.[/hider]
