5 Minutes - Reloaded

Post by Zeratul2k » September 27th, 2007, 3:14 am

OK, time to start this one again. Here we go:

-- Two months have passed since the battle at Mar Sara. In the last hour of battle, a special detachment of the EDF led by General Parker himself landed on the planet to reinforce the Krikav's position and secure victory. General Edward "Edge" Geraldine from Red Faction managed to escape in the confusion caused by the launch of the Erebus, Rydia's ship. General Parker left a Civilian Police group in charge of Mar Sara, to help the people that got caught in the conflict and to prevent any further disturbances, then went back to the Moon Base taking the Krikav with him. Colonels Johana Kerlav and Daniel Hellwind presented the evidence they had found while on duty to the High Council, which caused an anti-corruption and internal counter-intelligence group to be formed to find and arrest all traitors and spies. An arrest order was emmited against Captain Dominic "Gunner" Torres under the charge of desertion and suspected treason. The protests from his former squadmates were ignored and the Krikav was later assigned to Group 11, a small unit whose main task was to escort politicians during their travels. --

* Ben walked into the bar and went straight to his usual table. A waitress stopped next to him, took his order - a beer - and continued her round around the tables, making sure everyone was satisfied with the service. On the stage was Rose - it was open mic night - singing an old song, adding her own lyrics here and there. She quickly got off the stage once she finished, embarrased of having been caught by Ben. *

Rose: What are you doing here?

Ben: Relaxing, having a beer, listening to you sing...

Rose: I thought you were in the Krikav. Don't you guys leave tomorrow?

Ben: Of course, but--

Rose: Good luck with that. I'm glad I'm not going.

Ben: You should be glad you got off easy. After breaking that OMI dude's nose... you know those guys are trained in like, 10 different styles of assasination and stuff like that.

Rose: ...

Ben: Anyways, I'm not here to remind you about that. The Colonel sent me to get you.

Rose: What?

Ben: He found out our destination is Shakuras, where Dominic told us he would be, remember? He also found out about your... "history" together.

Rose: ... Can't believe this...

* Rose punched the table and rushed out of the place, leaving Ben in the dust. After a few moments, the waitress brought Ben his beer. *

Waitress: Ah, Mr. Wolfman?

Ben: Please, call me Ben.

Waitress: Oh, ok... hmm... Here's your friend's bill.

Ben: Hmm? $200!?
So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph... because good is DUMB!

*Georgianna strolls into the bar and looks at the bill over Ben's shoulder*

Georgianna: ha! she sure stuck you huh?

*Georgianna turns to the bar and asks for a shot. One is slid down the bar to her and she shoots it back in one gulp. She leaves the glass with the money under it and strolls back out of the bar*

* Ben pays the bill reluctantly and follows Georgianna outside. *

Ben: Captain? Can I ask you a question?

Ben: If we find Captain Torres... Do you think he'll want to come back with us? I mean, the only thing waiting for him here is a military trial.

Georgianna: I don't know! Don't bother me with these questions!

*Georgianna picks up her pace and is soon sprinting towards her room. Georgianna slams her door shut when she reaches her room and collapses sobbing into her pillow*

This sucks so much! All I ever wanted to do was pay off loans! NOT GET STUCK UP IN SOME FREAKING POLITICAL WAR!!!

*Chad lay back on his bunk. It had been another long day with the psyc boys, and today with R&D too. So many questions and tests, they wanted some kind of profile. At first he thought it had something to do with him being court-marshaled, but it turned out they wanted to know why he could operate ghost. They told Chad that he was the key to using this new technology. At least he hadn't been court-marshaled. Today they had put him in a simulator that was supposed to look like the open space you see from inside ghost. It was all wrong, it just looked flat and lifeless. No wonder they had no problem with people training in that thing. Chad asked them why they didn't just put a guy in a suit and helmet and send images to it from a suit up in space. The two techs had just looked at him like he'd told them the answer to winning the lottery, and about broke the door down rushing back to their lab.

Chad: Damn, I have to get out of here before those psyc guys drive me nuts with all their crazy questions. Darn, who cares what I thought about my mother...... *There was a loud knock on the door.*

Chad: Now what do they want, can't they even let a guy have a good night's rest? *Yells* Alright, damn it, I'm coming.

*Chad opened the door and is facing two security guards, from General Parkers office.*

Guard: Lieutenant Chad Ross, you are to come with us, you have been reassigned.

Chad: Um, ya ok, let me get my stuff.

Guard: There is no time, all you need will be provided. Come along now.

Chad walks out with the guards: Great, everything will be provided, I'm being court-marshaled anyway, I knew it was coming. Can I ask, where I'm being reassigned to?

Guard: The Krikav.

**** EDF Moon Base, Calypso shipyard ****

* Daniel walked into the bridge of the "Black Magic" Class Cruiser, CWS Slava that had been assigned to Johana. He looked around while sipping his coffee. *

Daniel: It really does look a lot like my carrier.

Johana: Of course it does, they are twin ships. Except that yours is a carrier and mine is a cruiser, of course.

Daniel: You're coming with us tomorrow, right?

Johana: Yeah, but I'll go back to Mar Sara right after that.

Daniel: So no time to hit the bars, eh?

* Johana smiled and turned towards her Vessel Controller, Ryoko Asakura. *

Johana: How does it look, Ryoko?

Ryoko: All systems are in good condition but the sensors are uncalibrated.

Daniel: Well... it seems you're going to be busy so I'll be leaving now. See you tomorrow.

Johana: See you tomorrow.

**** Talematros, capital city of Shakuras ****

* Dominic sat next to his amplifier and put down his guitar, an original 1990 Fender Stratocaster he had bought for almost nothing from a non-connoisseur. Rydia offered him a drink and sat next to him. *

Rydia: I don't know any of those songs. I like them, though.

* Dominic takes a short drink and laughs. *

Dominic: You're the first girl I know that likes Megadeth's songs. Rose always said they were "too noisy".

Rydia: Yeah, I'm unique!

* Dominic laughed again and packed his guitar. *

Rydia: Going back?

Dominic: Yeah, I feel really tired for some reason.

Rydia: Ok, take care.

* Dominic said goodbye to the rest of the band and left towards his apartment. Rydia and him had decided to live in different places to keep people off their backs while things cooled down. The mechs and the ship where hidden on a cave on the outskirst of the city, guarded by the mining bots and the jealous AI of Rydia's ship, Erebus. He opened the door to his small apartment, placed the guitar carefully over the table and let himself fall on the bed. *

Dominic: I wonder if the others are all right...

*Chad buckled in the seat on the small shuttle for the flight to the Krikav.*

Chad: The Krikav! Why would they send me back to the ship? I heard they were just escorting bigwigs around. At least I'll be away from all that prodding and poking.

Guard: Here are your orders, sir.

Chad: Thanks, sir? These guys must be too use to having brass around.

*Chad opened the envelope and looked at the papers, and a new rank insignia. Orders: Chad Ross, promoted to rank, Captain, to report to the EDF Krikav as head of the recon division...... *

Chad:Captain? They made me a captain! Why would they do that, I just screwed everything up before. And recon, will I get ghost back again? Damn, I hope so. Maybe I'll get to see some of the others too.

*There's a letter with the papers: You did a good job using your mech for recon work on your last mission, Ross. Colonel Hellwind is going to need the best people, and ones he can trust, for this next mission. The research boys are just going to have to do with what you have given them so far. There are more important matters to deal with, good luck son. General Parker.*

Chad: Geeze, a letter from the general. What could be going on that's that important? Well, I guess I'll find out.

*Georgianna calms down and flips over onto her back, staring up at the ceiling*

Georgianna: ...... I wonder how Dominic is.....

*Georgianna hears a commotion outside in the corridor and opens her door a crack as she hears some men pass. She peeks out to find Chad being escorted away by military personnel*

what the heck?

*Georgianna follows the men at a distance, right to the Krikav. She doesn't enter yet but waits for the men to return and go down another hallway before she goes in to see Chad*

Georgianna: Ross? What is going on here?
