[hr] [center][h1][color=00a99d]Space Savages[/color][/h1][/center] [hr] What was a fleet of eleven Quatis city ships, is now a fleet of ten Quatis city ships that exit an anomalous hole in space, thirteen million miles from what at first glance seems to be a desolate wasteland of a planet. Moments after arriving at their new location, the anomalous hole that brought them there disappears. On deck of the flagship Egress, Admiral and acting captain Dino Gavon groans deep in his spirit at the news of the missing ship, but maybe more so at the continued cries of Lieutenant Shard, who has found the loss of their eleventh ship reason to sob even more than what she had been. Meanwhile, Science officer Madot opens a packet of tasty salted peanuts for a snack. After sending out hails and searching for distress calls in all space within range of the fleet - but finding no trace of their eleventh ship – primary objective scans are commenced. The search for a new planet to call home. Their focus is soon concentrated on the previously mentioned planet. “Are you telling me there’s actually [i]life[/i] on that burnt out graveyard of a planet, Nerd?” Dino Gavon asks, lurching forward in his seat to narrow his eyes at the planet displayed on screen. “That’s what I’m telling you.” Madot replied, before dumping the remainder of his peanuts down his throat and using his other hand to bring up more information about the planet. “And a lot of it is actually sentient, or sapient, whatever term you’d like to use in this instance.” “I think we’ll stick with sentient for now, Nerd, we don’t know if they're capable of wisdom just yet. Are these sentient life forms concentrated in certain areas, or are they spread around the planet like chook feet in a henhouse?” “Spread around like chook feed in a henhouse,” Madot replied, “although there is one area of the planet that seems to display a greater population than most.” “How about the planet itself, Nerd? Can we breathe the atmosphere or no?” Dino asks. “Yes we can, sir.” Madot tells him. “That is if you don’t mind inhaling copious amounts of ash.” “Then we’ll assemble an away mission to the most populated section of the planet.” Dino said, as he raised to his feet. “Actually, that might not be advisable, Admiral,” Madot warned him, there is currently a violent ash storm in that area.” “Oh!” Lieutenant Shard spins in her chair to face Dino while wiping away her tears. “Can I come, sir? I really want to meet some aliens! And we can wear those cute little doctors mask things on our faces – that’ll help with ash, right?” “Lieutenant Shard,” Dino spoke sternly, “I need you to stay here at the helm. Besides, we don’t know what sort people are down there. For all we know they are highly sexual savages bent on ravaging a pretty woman like yourself.” “Oh no, it’s fine, sir.” She tells him, and bolts up from her seat. “I don’t mind being ravaged by savages.” “In that case, Lieutenant, meet me in my private quarters later.” Dino regards her with a smoldering look. “And very well, then, you can join us on this mission as well, but don’t say I didn’t warn you if you end giving birth to some alien freak nine months now.” Shard claps her hands together with excitement - “I will, sir. Understood, sir. And thank you so much, sir!” “No problem, Lieutenant.” Dino gives her a wink then looks at one of the unimportant crewman, commanding; “You have the helm while we’re gone, Crewman!” “Understood!” The unimportant crewman replied. “Nerd, Cas, and Shard, you’re all with me.” Dino briefs each of them with a glance. “Now suit up, get your cute little doctors masks on – And let’s do this thing! [hr] [@Quote5] The chain of repair pods were successful in salvaging Jezebel without incident. Once the small craft is inside Ernest’s, a hatch on the side of it opens up and Fanny May climbs out dressed in a black, skin-tight leather body suit and her hair tied back in a high ponytail. She takes a moment to study the docking bay, frowning a little as if concerned. While she’s studying the area, the small craft behind her blinks out of existence. It’s gone for almost five seconds before re-materializing again. For Ernest, the craft would have disappeared from all his sensors for those five seconds. Fanny, however, didn’t seem to notice this event taking place behind her. She now walks to the door of the Docking bay, supposedly the door that led to the rest of the ship, and steps into the corridor, where she pulls out a chocolate bar from her back pocket before peeling off the wrapper. “Some welcoming committee…” She said quietly, takes a bite of the bar, and then calls out to anyone who may be around; “Is there anyone here? Name's Fanny May! You just rescued me…. If [i]that[/i] rings a bell?” She takes another bite of her chocolate bar while awaiting a response. [hr] [@Oh no my soup] When Magnus smashed the elixir, the sweet fluid quickly soaked into the planets skin, but the cow size flea abruptly screamed in agony and jumped away as though it had set on fire. Moments later the ground near Magnus rose up and took the form of a young and very beautiful naked lady with brown shoulder-length hair and green eyes, who immediately started talking in a sweet, sweet voice: “Please don’t be threatened by my perfect appearance, kind sir. I know I’m really hot, but this the only form I know that you might be comfortable interacting with and, oddly enough, I don’t know how to replicate clothing. You see… In case you didn’t know already, you are standing on me. I am the sum of the massive spherical object. Yes, I am alive, and I also have the ability to mimic anything that comes into contact with me. The girl you see before you now was another humanoid that recently made contact with me. Her visit here was short, but sweet. Oh, my lord, how she was O so very sweet….” The girl clears her throat, seemingly annoyed that she may have made Magnus uncomfortable. She adds: “I just really want to thank you for your help, my fleas are soooo annoying. I’m currently replicating the fluid you smashed on me. Pretty soon I will have produced enough to cover my entire body and rid myself of these fleas once and for all …and it’s all thanks to you, kind sir.” As she’s talking, she runs her hands over the curves of her body to better demonstrate how the elixir will be applied to the whole of planet. After a brief pause, she gives Magnus a coy look and continues: “Anyway, you can call me Fanny May, and you’re welcome to ride me any time you want…. Um, I’m… sorry. Do you have a name as well? I mean, I’d really like to show my appreciation for all your help. Is there anything at all I can do for you in return for your kindness? This form is…” She glances down at herself, “fully functional, after all. Or… maybe you’d just prefer that I take you somewhere?” [hr] Meanwhile, 65 billion lightyears away from somewhere, the missing eleventh city ship of the Quatis fleet appears in an uncharted region of space, in orbit a pristine planet teaming with bounty and life. This planet has no sentient or even sapient life forms, and is perfect for the crew of 180,000 to start constructing colonies of their new home.
