Star Wars - Galaxies at War[MULTIVERSE SPACESHIP RP]

AR-1 // RESURGENCE // UNKNOWN SPACE

The Commander walked out having given them two 'options' for what planet to go to. "What am I just invisible?" Teyla stood up turning to Rodney as she did so.

"No, you certainly are not that. Though it has to be said that he knows this reality better than anyone else present, he knows the strategic locations of importance."

"Yes and he also knows the places to take us where we would get into a fight with this 'Empire' he doesn't like. He might not be telling us to go to war with them, but it sure seems like he's going to drag us that way." A couple of the Clones that were still in the room were now actively watching McKay. "Yeah, I said it."

"At the end of the day, the decision is not ours. Colonel Caldwell will choose the course of action which he deems most suitable for the Daedalus and its crew. We are merely here as a point of first contact as we are the most experienced in dealing with alien cultures. We would do well to remember our place." McKay sighed, then winced slightly as he looked up at the alien with the four-pronged mouth thing.

"I would speak with you."

As soon as the aliens had started approaching the group, with Sheppard off talking to the representatives from the Glasgow Ronan saw it his place to be the muscle for Rodney and Teyla. He approached the tall alien, shipmaster whoever he was. The beast stood over a foot taller than him, however, that didn't intimidate him. Ronan stood right in front of him, eyes locked in a death-stare.

"Oh yeah? Well, how about you back up and tell me what you want."

"Ronan!" Teyla stepped forward, pulling Ronan back slightly with her hand on his shoulder. "We mean no disrespect-" If looks could kill. The one Teyla was giving Ronan would cut him to shreds. "-what can we help you with Shipmaster?"

It saddens me to report that our friend Sophrus has dropped. All posting may resume.

VENGEANCE // ASSIMILATOR STAR DESTROYER // RAXUS PRIME ORBIT

Tarkin scoffed at the hologram, he nodded to one of his officers to relay his own image back to them. His chiselled figures cutting a clear imposing image. He was a man who held the air of authority. He had hunted in dire situations, been left for dead more times than he could count. Held prisoner and fought in battles all over the Galaxy in the Clone Wars. He was one of the most experienced commanding officers that the Empire had at its disposal.

"Now Princess. I feel that you don't understand the complexity of the situation. By all rights, I have enough on you to fire on your insignificant vessel and end your life for crimes against the Empire. Conspiring with War Criminals, attacking Imperial Property and the like. However, you are a newcomer to our space and as such we are more interested in more. Diplomatic relations. You will power down whatever form of Hyperdrive you have, and your weapons then come aboard my vessel." He nodded to an officer out of the view of the holo communicator, targetting the ship in order to achieve a tractor beam lock. "Answer now, keep me waiting and your offer of amnesty will expire." During the exchange the creeping megalith of the Vengeance altered course, on a direct heading for the strange vessel.

Meanwhile, on Republic Military Networks. Not yet changed to Imperial Encryption codes, there was a broadcast that the war was ending. Reports of victory above Raxus prime using the new Assimilator Star Destroyers as well as reports of 'Lord Vader' successfully apprehending the last of the Separatist Leadership and sending out the droid deactivation codes.

We'll continue in another 24hrs, unless the people we're waiting for give us good pause to continue to wait.

Star Wars - Galaxies at War[MULTIVERSE SPACESHIP RP]

I know we're all very excited for what's going on, but I recommend any posting be set aboard our ships and what they're currently doing until our friends @Enalais and @Sophrus get a chance. We've been steaming ahead pretty quick, and I like that but lets not get ahead of our friends.

Star Wars - Galaxies at War[MULTIVERSE SPACESHIP RP]

AR-1 // RESUGENCE // UNKNOWN SPACE

Sheppard handed the tablet over to McKay, who was already interfacing it with his own device as he tapped his headset. "Daedalus, download the data burst I'm sending you onto a firewalled non-network computer-" He offered a smile to the Supreme Commander. "-Just a precaution I'm sure you understand. We have just met after all, don't want you infecting our ship with a computer virus." McKay scrolled through the data on the tablet. Skipping past the pointless civil war that seemed to dominate most of it. Some of it seemed historical but other parts of it had to be propaganda. The Empire enslaving hundreds of species, blowing up planets. He missed dealing with the Wraith, they were simple. All they wanted to do was herd humans like cattle and eat up all of their life force. Within a few minutes of playing with the tablet while other people talked about whatever trivial matters they had to, he came up with a possible candidate.

McKay showed the tablet to Sheppard first who merely nodded. He then slid it onto the table. "This world called. Commenor? What kind of name is that-"

"McKay." McKay turned to see the face of distaste on Sheppard and Teylas faces.

"-Right. Anyway. It's relatively close to our position, shouldn't be too well defended and if the data you've provided is accurate it should be some kind of mass trade hub. So unusual ships and unusual people shouldn't be out of the, well. The usual."

Sheppard turned to face the Zerg, who at this point Ronan was actively scowling at for the behaviours of the little ones. "This is all dependent on whether or not we even decide to work together, and-" He said the next part while actually looking at McKay "-this actually has to be approved by the ship's commander before we do anything."

"Oh please, since when did you-" Teyla turned to Rodney, ignoring the queen for the first time since she had arrived in the room.

"Perhaps this is not the time Rodney."

"Assuming other people agree to do this as well. I feel like we have experience and technology when dealing with Alternate Realities that we stand a reasonable chance of finding our way home. If anyone wants to join us, so be it. At the end of the day, this conversation isn't helping us get any further to a solution."

Rodney spoke now, unable to contain himself any longer. "More importantly, we should try not to interfere with this reality too much. Which is more important for you Supreme Commander. After all, if this is truly your reality, and you were temporally displaced rather than dragged to another universe you run the risk of creating a paradox. Remember in your plans that what we do here, affects your future. If you also want help getting home well, we have even more experience with time travel than we do with altnernate realities."

AR-1 // ABOARD THE RESURGENCE // UNKNOWN SPACE

Ronan nodded and smirked as the smoking armour wielding old man spoke. That was the kind of methodology he could get behind. It was simple, to the point. Give him somewhere to point his gun at and he knew what he was doing, this diplomacy wasn't at all for him. He was more concerned with these Zerg creatures. The more time went on the more similarities that this species had with the Wraith were made public. They could end the threat here and now, the problem could soon be sorted if they all banded together. Wipe them out, then they could deal with this whole out of universe thing. He knew better than to say it though, but he was damn well thinking it.

Sheppard looked at McKay, who looked at Teyla. This wasn't really his area of expertise, this is what Weir was for. She was the diplomat, the one who could talk down anyone and make an alliance with her eyes closed.

"Look. Fight the Empire, don't fight the Empire. I feel like the important thing is we can't stay here. Eventually, we'll need food and fuel. These aren't things we can't find out here. I understand we're all hesitant to trust each other, hell Teyla and Ronan have lived under the oppression of a species called the Wraith for all their lives and their people for generations. Me and McKay come from a world that arrived late on the galactic scene but more often than not the new races we come across aren't too friendly."

McKay then chimed in. "Need I point out we were all subject to the same anomaly to bring us all here. Sensor readings confirm that, and I'm sure all your sensors confirm that. Now I don't know about any of you but I'm arguably the best scientist from where I come from, but even I'm going to need help to solve this one. If anyone here wants to get home, then we should atleast stick together. Preferably without crossing a galactic superpower."

Star Wars - Galaxies at War[MULTIVERSE SPACESHIP RP]

Sheppard turned to the 'Sangheili', him and McKay exchanged glances. "Well. We can safely say alternate universes. We're from Earth, but we've never heard of the UNSC or the Sangheili though that could easily be part of our future-" They exchanged glances again. "-Unlikely our past. Have you ever heard of the, what do other races call us again McKay?"

"Tau'ri."

"Yeah, that thing. Stargate Command, we're the guys that stopped the Goa'uld and their tyrannical rule. Inheritors to the Ancients and all that stuff."

It sounded dumb when he said it out loud. Though from what he had been told through his orientation at the SGC that was basically the status quo. At the same time, McKay finished working on the data packet on his tablet, using the radio uplink to the Daedalus he sent it out in a burst transmission to the other ships. "You guys now all have brief histories of where we're from, and basic specs of our vessel." He looked at Sheppard who merely nodded.

Star Wars - Galaxies at War[MULTIVERSE SPACESHIP RP]

Teyla shifted uncomfortably as she felt the probe, Ronan picking up on the discomfort stood up straight in a position ready to move. His eyes were already locked onto the Zerg beings that seemed to be paying her close attention. Though despite all this he said nothing, and instead it was Sheppard who spoke.

Raising his hands in a defensive motion. "Now. I don't know about anyone else here but I know for damn sure that we don't want to get into a fight with anybody, let alone an Empire that controls the Galaxy. Don't take it as an offence, but all we have to know they're the bad guys is your word and we've been down that road before only to find out we're actually fighting for the bad guys." He looked to the crew that looked most like their own, referencing the Milkyway was a good start at least. If Sheppard had to take a guess he'd say they seemed to be about one hundred years ahead of them, McKay would probably make a more educated guess but there wasn't really time for that. "This includes probes and scouting missions. Look. I'm a military man, I get it and even if the Empire in your home reality are the bad guys, whos to say they are here? We've all been displaced. Maybe you have too, just a little closer to home than the rest of us."

McKay nodded along before also turning to the Glasgows crew. "I'd be really interested to look over your technological specs. I've got a lot of experience in dealing with alien systems and even designed quite a few for our own ship-"

"-but we won't be sharing too much of that information." Sheppard interrupted as McKay had already pulled out a tablet. Caldwell wouldn't be terribly happy to find out they had been giving up all of the Daedalus' secrets. More importantly, he didn't want them to know all of the Daedalus' secrets. Things like the beaming technology were good aces to keep hidden for the moment.

I realise I kind of mixed the two of these things.. So, edit?

I've never played a Young (Hero) character, I've never played a Legacy Character and I've never done an Origin Story. So why do one of these things, when I can do all three at once! Jaime is such a great character, he's relatable and goes through very real struggles. In my eyes he's the (underappreciated or fucked up) Peter Parker of DC, he's just an average kid who gets an alien relic fused with his spine granting him superpowers and a voice in his head that always wants to go for the quick lethal option rather than the way that would reduce casualties. That's a story I want to write. This Jaime is one that's growing up in a world that's all over the Metahumans. Quite a few are sick of the heroes, and its a changing climate for them. Is this a good time for a young new hero with an alien artificial intelligence bonded to his spine that secretly wants to kill and enslave everyone? Probably not.

Jaime is going to be a struggling teen, his entire world is going to change. He's moved to a new city, leaving his close friends Brenda and Paco behind in El Paso and taking on life in a recently devastated New York city. I will literally be starting this thing off at day one, I mean. At least nothing bad can happen right?

Once he gets the Scarab, he's going to want it off. While also having some control over it so he can still have his normal life, over time he'll likely come to accept the burden, and who he has now become. Will the world view him as a hero though? Especially after whats coming?

• Jaimes family - Parents and sister Milagro, recently moved to Elbarrio in NYC.
• Paco and Brenda - Best friends for years, currently still in El Paso.
• More notes will be added as time goes on.

"Santa mierda!" Jaime slapped the palm of his free hand against his forehead as he held his cellphone against his other ear. It wasn't easy navigating the streets of New York with a phone up against his ear but he was making it work. On the other line was his two best friends back home an El Paso, Brenda and Paco. When his family had moved here to be closer to his grandmother he felt like his whole life had been left behind. Then the whole world had turned to hell, more recently culminating in the battle of New York and the Empire State building being destroyed. "How many times do I need to tell you Paco? No. I didn't see Wonder Woman in person."

"Oh come on Jaime! You mean to tell me you didn't try to take a peek?"

Jaime sighed. "No I was busy looking after Milagro when it all went down."

"Come on Jaime, live a little! You want to see that sweet hero -"

"-ow-" Jaime didn't have to be present to know that Brenda had punched, kicked or elbowed Paco in the stomach.

"You don't want anything to do with that super-hero business anyway Jaime. It's safer to stay away."

"Yeah I know Brenda, I have to head now. Hasta Luego." He hit the button on his phone to lock it before sliding it back into his pocket. Sighing he raked his hand through his hair as he walked through the nicer streets of New York. That's when the unusual happened. Some form of blue scarab fell out of the sky, landing on the sidewalk right in front of him. "¿Qué?

Jaime leant down and picked it up, raising it in his hand and letting the light reflect off it as he tried to figure out what it was. Then it started to glow, legs extending from its main body. He shook his hand trying to get it to fall off, however, it seemed to be stuck to his hand. It crawled across his arm, he was starting to shake more as he panicked. "¡Quítatelo! ¡Quítatelo! Santa mierda, que alguien ayude!"

He reached his arms over his back as it crawled over his shoulder. Then his body erupted in pain as it latched itself into his flesh. He fell to his knees, people starting to take note of him as he screamed, as a voice filled his head.

⋏⟟⏁⟟⏃⌰⟟⋉⟟⋏☌

Jaime felt as if a thousand insects were crawling over his skin, biting every inch of his body as the blue and black chitin armour extended outwards from where the scarab had burrowed into his skin. People began to run away as they saw the armour begin to form and take hold off his body. He screamed, face-up in the sky as his face was encased in the metallic chitin. Then everything was dark for a moment, he could hear his breath heavy against the faceplate of the armour.

"I don't understand what's going on!" Then he could suddenly see, everything in a red tint as he saw the world through the lenses the suit gave him.

He could hear the whirr of engines as the armour clacked and changed shape, two wings forming beside him as an engine formed on his back shooting him into the air. Jaime screamed as he was thrown into the air, he could feel his stomach almost flip itself. How was this possible? He couldn't fly, he wasn't a superhero. Was this Stark Tech? What was going on?

"You can read my thoughts?"

⊬⟒⌇

"Then land right now!" Jaime poured all of his thought and concentration into it, forced his arms and legs to move. Head down, willing himself to head down towards the ground. He saw the ground turn towards him for a second as he flew through New York, before the Scarab resumed control and pulled him up again.

"⟒⍀⍀⍜⍀ ⟒⍀⍀⍜⍀ ⟟ ☊⏃⋏⋏⍜⏁ ⎅⍜ ⏁⊑⏃⏁ ⟊⏃⟟⋔⟒ ⍀⟒⊬⟒⌇

"¡Escucha!, Land, now!"

"☊⍜⋔⌿⌰⊬⟟⋏☌

He groaned and doubled over in pain as the armour retracted into the scarab. He opened his eyes once the pain subsided, to find himself still easily forty stories high above the streets of New York.
