Welcome to the guild, mister! Lots of opportunities here to flex and practice your writing skills with like-minded people.
Hello, hello! Welcome to the guild, make yourself comfortable! Lots of opportunities here.
The Cyclone is slowly drifting along, while remaining a fair distance away on one side of the planet. One of the crew members, an asari manning the sensors, calls out to Riel.

“Commander! We have two ships on a trajectory towards our current position.” Riel looks back. “Are we still in Recon mode?” she asks. “Aye, Commander. We also have another ship on our sensors, does not seem to be a hostile contact. We’re not able to communicate with it because of that jammer, though.” Riel starts pondering deeply about the situation. After a few moments, she calls out to Drisus. “Drisus, how is that comms situation coming along?”. Drisus is intensively focused on the jammed communications situation, after a brief moment she is able to respond back. “There is some kind of communications jammer somewhere! They’re not scrambling any of our systems, just our array. We’re picking up some kind of signal as well. It could be that jammer.” Riel motions towards the Navigator. “Take us towards that signal!” she commands. “We need to establish contact with someone, hopefully, that vessel will be an ally. We’re all alone out here right now.”

Meanwhile, in the forward gun battery section in the ship, Lieutenant Commander Ledarix is just finishing briefing the gun battery officers on their situation in person. “You need to be ready at a moment’s notice! You got that? Great, dismissed!” she says as she finishes the briefing. All the gun battery officers go off to their respective postings.

Ledarix is preparing to leave when someone mentions her name out loud. “Ehm! Lieutenant Commander!” Ledarix turns around as she is just about to leave and watches as a young asari jogs towards her. She stops and does a quick salute. “Chief Petty Officer Nyarasha Aveala, reporting!” she says in an exuberant voice. The asari looks very young, energetic and lively, like she is straight out of bootcamp. “You were going to brief us? Looks like I’m the first one here!” Ledarix lets out a quiet sigh. “Well, Chief Petty Officer Nyarasha Aveala. You seem awfully happy on this fine day.” she says sarcastically. “Yes, Lieutenant Commander! I’m new on the Cyclone and I’ve heard a lot of stories about you and the Commander. It’s been a dream of mine to serve on this very ship. It’s quite beautiful.” she says happily. “We’re glad to have you aboard, but look kid, everything isn’t going to be sunshine and rainbows. I need you to be at your best and see things with a critical eye.” Ledarix crosses her arms. “You got that?”. The young officer quickly salutes again “Of course, Lieutenant Commander! I won’t let you down!” she says as she runs off. Ledarix puts her hand on her head.

Suddenly the lights in the ship begin to flicker off and on repeatedly for a couple of seconds, then stops and goes back to normal. A voice comes over the intercom. “Lieutenant Commander! I need you up here!” Ledarix realizes it’s Riel and storms off to the bridge.

Two hours later, on the Cyclone, the crew is preparing to leave faster-than-light speed. The navigator of the ship approaches Riel.

“Ma’am. We will be at our destination in less than five minutes.”

“Good.” she replies. “Get everybody to their stations and prepare to go into Recon Mode.”

“At once, ma’am!” the Navigator quickly salutes and returns to her post.

After a few minutes, just before coming out of FTL, the bridge and the rest of the ship is sprawling with activity. Riel is standing by the galaxy map in the middle of the room, which is elevated to about 1,5 to 2 meters and is the highest point on the bridge. Her hands are attached to the railing surrounding it.

A voice suddenly comes from behind Riel. “Hey, boss. You ready for this?”

Riel releases her grip on the railing and turns around. She is happy to see her second-in-command and longtime friend, Lieutenant Commander Nalyne Ledarix, coming towards her.

“Where were you at the briefing, Nalyne?” Riel asks. “Teli didn’t bring you up during the brief, but still…”

“Sorry, Commander. I was elsewhere at the time. I had to take care of something.” she responds. “Anyway, I heard we are about to arrive at Central. I’ll make an announcement via the intercom.”

Nalyne steps to the right and types on a console right beside the map. A brief moment of static can be heard, then, Nalyne’s voice can be heard through the ship.

“Attention! This is Lieutenant Commander Ledarix. We are about to arrive at planet Central, Sirius Sector. All hands, standby and wait for instructions from your commanding officer.” she says, in an authoritive, but enthusiastic tone.

Just as Nalyne finishes, the ship can be heard becoming, suddenly, quieter. Everybody looks out of the ships forward facing windows and the blue, shimmering light starts fading out. At the blink of an eye, the blue light suddenly disappears and the all too familiar black void surges into focus again, except this time, a planet was there. Central. The bridge suddenly lights up with different lights emanating from the different consoles around the bridge.

“Commander!” a crew member yells. “Our sensors are picking up multiple, unknown ship signatures in the vicinity of the planet!”

Riel faces Ensign Drisus, who is on the opposite end of the bridge.

“Drisus!” she calls out. “Send a report to Fleet Commander Teli, at once!”

The quiet bridge suddenly turns into a loud place. All the bridge staff are operating their stations and working on the ship’s systems. Ensign Drisus runs up to Riel.

“Someone or something is jamming our communications, Commander!” Drisus proclaims.

Nalyne turns to Riel. “Looks like this is going to be more than a recon mission, boss.” she chuckles. “Just like that time on Aplana.”

Riel chuckles. “Nalyne, go check on the main batteries. We’ll need them ready for anything.”

Nalyne salutes “At once.” she says and runs off.

Riel turns around once again to the navigator. “Approach the planet, but keep your distance to it and the other ships.” she orders. “Have we picked up any allied signatures?”

A crew member calls out “Not yet, Commander! We are still sorting through all the contacts.”

Riel looks out the window onto the planet. “Get it done!” she says. “Drisus, attempt to open communications with the Fleet Commander when you get the chance… This day just keeps getting better and better…”
Iuvis Sector
Asari Controlled Space


Commander Riel is standing on the bridge of the ASN Cyclone, illuminated by the blue light that the big galaxy map in the middle of the room projects, staring into a big, empty void of darkness, pondering. A faint voice can be heard as she thinks heavily about something.

“Commander?” the voice says, barely audible.

“Commander!” Riel and her surroundings suddenly snap into focus.

“Oh!” she says out loud. Surprised, Riel turns around and find Ensign Jelia Drisus, the communications officer, standing in front of her.

“Commander!” she says once again and salutes.

“Oh. Ensign.” she responds with a slightly gloomy tone. “At ease.”

“Priority message from the fleet, Commander. Fleet Commander Teli is waiting for you in the communications room.” she advises Riel.

“Thank you. I’m headed there now. Lieutenant Avero! Watch the bridge for me!” she shouts loudly across the room.

“Yes, Commander!” the Lieutenant answers back.

Riel walks past all of the bridge staff and up a ramp in the middle of the room leading to a door at the back end of the room, meanwhile, Lieutenant Avero takes her place on the bridge. Ensign Drisus returns to her post at a computer console.

Riel walks through two rooms, mainly quarters designated for command staff, until she arrives at the communications room. As she enters the communications room, a huge screen can be seen at the wall towards the back of the room with a small ring in the middle just before it. Riel looks at the screen, then down at the small ring and steps onto it. Out of nowhere, small, blue lines appear and start moving downwards from head to toe, like a scanner. The room turns black and the lines disappear. A figure with their back to her appears on the, now, brightly lit screen.

“Well, well. If it isn’t Commander D’ysentis.” the figure says, in a commanding voice.

The figure turns around and Riel realizes that the figure is, of course, none other than Fleet Commander Teli S’heha.

“Fleet Commander Teli!” Riel quickly salutes.

“At ease, Commander.” Teli replies.

Riel drops her hand and proceeds to stand with both her legs at shoulder width and with both hands behind her back.

“Commander. I’m going to cut right to the chase here. This is an urgent request coming straight from the top and I’m rather busy at the moment with this issue myself!” Teli says.

“There seems to be a situation developing in the Sirius Sector. Reports are coming in as we speak and we aren’t fully aware of what is going on over there, but preliminary reports suggest some kind of pirate activity near the planet Central. It doesn’t sound pretty.”

“Have we made any contact with any other allied vessels in the area?” Riel asks.

Riel notices that a crew member comes up to Teli and hands her a datapad. She turns around and speaks something unintelligible for a couple of seconds, then she returns her attention back to Riel.

“We are in the process of contacting other allied vessels nearby, in an attempt to figure out what the hell is going on. In the meantime, Commander. I need you and your ship to travel the Sirius Sector, conduct a reconnaissance mission and report back. If you are able to establish contact with anyone, do so.”

“At once!” Riel answers.

Teli salutes “I have to go. Be careful, Commander. We will be sending you relevant information as soon as we have it, Teli out.”

The screen turns black and the room goes back to the normal white lighting that is standard across the ship. Riel steps off the ring and moves towards the door. She stops for a second and looks down at the floor. She inhales, then exhales, deeply both times, and starts walking towards the bridge.

Riel arrives at the bridge and stops at the galaxy map, looking at it.

After a brief pause, she turns around, facing the ship's navigator and says “Navigator, set a course for the Sirius Sector.”

I'm here! I'll transfer my sheet at once and get started on a post as soon as possible.
@stardust@SillyGoy It's going to be fun to see what happens with this RP! Gotta love space... I agree with SillyGoy though. Moving the RP to a more appropriate section would probably be for the best.
