The Marauders

Cool. I can't wait for this RP to really get going.

The Marauders

Mylik had intended on watching silently the entire meeting, hoping that everyone would sort of ignore him. Most, much to his pleasure, did. But as he glanced around the room he noticed the girl who had been there when he had first arrived suddenly take notice of him. She seemed startled by his presence, but he hoped he didn't frighten her too much, Mylik knew his appearance wasn't the most welcoming, and his mannerisms were even worse, but he didn't like making anyone uncomfortable unless they were bugging him and he needed them to go away. So to assure the girl he wasn't as mean as some people think he attempted to give her a polite nod. The resulting effect was a sort of spastic head jolt in her direction, but he hoped she would get the message.

A bit later on in the meeting, about halfway through, he saw a reptilian creature who was staring right at him. He recognized the creature as one of the crew members he has seen on the security cameras since Mylik has first joined. Disconcertingly, the reptile appeared to be studying him, which Mylik wasn't particularly used to, as he always walked around invisible and tried to avoid notice. His slight telepathy allowed him to pick up a feeling of curiosity coming from the reptile. "Good," Mylik thought "at least it's only curiosity". Eventually the reptile removed his gaze, and Mylik did the same.

He wasn't at all surprised to be one of the four picked to stay inside and guard the ship. After all, his experience was entirely in the field of security, and he wasn't even used to being "outside" since he had lived in claustrophobic caves and buildings his whole life. Though he knew few would likely speak to him unless it was something important, he looked around to see who else had been assigned to protect the ship while the others explored.

First off he noticed the girl who had been staring at him, she had thankfully taken her gaze away from him and was in conversation with a large alien in a metal suit, which had also been ordered to stay on board. The suited one, who he had heard called "Wrenchie", smelled like an engine and was pretty big. Mylik, being the Kiaslikian that he is, drew his gaze away from the larger one and focused it on a smaller, reptilian creature, who had looked at him earlier. "Hello," he rasped to the reptile through the "vocal cords" on his arms "I am Mylik, you've probably only rarely seen me, but I assure you that I've been here long enough to know you are a veteran aboard this ship compared to the others, and I am pleased to make your acquaintance." He attempted being polite, but was already sure he had made some sort of error.

I also like the idea BlackSam thought up. I prefer the idea of irate survivors of the Civil War, as they would have more motivation and possibly more weaponry then drug dealers.

If we go with Blacksam's idea then I would like to ask something. How long ago did the encounters with drug dealers and the civil war planet happen? That way we'll have an idea of which characters were present at the time, or if we all were.

C.S. should be up today, probably a bit later on.

I hate to be "that guy", so forgive me if this is a violation of rule 4, but neither Vantas nor Fiddler have posted on anything at all in the past 3 days. I'm not saying we should move on without them (unless that's what Jones wants to do) but I suggest someone shoot them a PM to see if they're still interested or have enough time.

I JUST joined another RP like this, but I'm interested.

The Marauders

I guess it doesn't matter. I mean, everyone is acting like the Maruaders have been around for a while and those of us who want to be new are just claiming to be new recruits, and everyone else can say they've been there for a while. I liked the idea of all of us meeting for the first time, but this way works just as well if not better.

The Marauders

Posted. I apologize if my writing isn't the best, I took a break from RPing for a little while and I'm a bit rusty.

The Marauders

Mylik stared without blinking into the cameras. He was sitting on his bed in a room that would be fairly large, if it weren't for the massive monitoring systems sprawling across the floor, walls, and even one monitor of the ship's main entrance right above his head. His room looked like one big mess of wires and screens, and stepping into it felt like going inside a computer. Here he could watch and keep track of most parts of the ship (with the exception of a few, like the individual bedrooms and quarters) and was able to activate alarms and other necessary defenses. The security equipment had originally been in a separate room, but Mylik had specifically asked to have all the security systems moved into his, for the sake of being able to watch and make sure everything was safe 24/7. Ah, paranoia, how he loved it.

He had been on the ship for only about a month, but he had hardly spoken to anyone on board. When he was first assigned to The Marauders he had been given the role of Chief of Security. So to test out the security of the ship he had cloaked and snuck on board while the ship was docked at the base awaiting him. Eventually he was found by way of a faulty cloaking device and a very startled crew member. He was then escorted to the Captain of the vessel, when Mylik first met Cap. Jason Hunt he was sure to tell him in extreme detail all the security flaws of the ship and how easy it was for anyone with a cloaking device to sneak on. He hoped that hadn't earned him a bad reputation, but it needed to be said.

There was a crackle and a voice came over the intercom calling all members to the briefing room. Mylik hadn't gone out of his room except for a few times in the past month, as he would only come out for food and then speed back to his room before anyone could speak to him. But he assumed it was something important and necessary. Of course, that didn't make him want to go much more. So for the sake of avoiding social contact on the way he cloaked himself and headed out to the briefing room, avoiding anyone and everyone on the way.

The doors of the briefing room slip open just as Mylik uncloaked, so as not to startle anyone to much. With a glance across the room he saw Jason and a girl he hadn't met waiting at the table. Mylik went and leaned into the corner, glancing back and forth between the Captain and the girl.

Ya, I think I agree with Zeratul. It'd give us a way to make a good few opening posts.
