Imperium Galactica IC

Right, here's the IC!
Infos are here and latest update here

<ATTENTION, PLOT! ATTENTION, PLOT!>

OK, here's the plot if it helps to get more people to play IG:

- Pirates activity detected near New Sudeten
- Raid on the pirate's hideout
- Solarians got report from the action and became anxious
- Solarians wants to clear\closed\destroy the hideout\tomb-world

<ATTENTION, PLOT! ATTENTION, PLOT!>

My char's story so far:


The starship's temperature was warm for any terran being with it's 30 degree of Celsius but for Shara it was rather cold cause her shiver while silently viewed the dark space through a panorama-window. She watched the sparking stars before the thousand shaded darkness while her ship were on way to the New Sudeten. Time passed slowly and Shara felt the emptyness deep inside her where once her hive's connection existed, a connection that vanished long ages ago left only empty space behind.
'Enough of this dark lamentation!' thought suddenly and shake her head slowly. 'The hive is gone and the old times are gone to. I must left them behind and live my life instead of meaningless lamentation about what-if questions! I have a quest that meed to be done and that's why I'm here! New Sudeten awaits me so it's time to get prepared!' And after a final look upon the panorama of the system Shara went to get prepared to landing on New Sudeten, the planet where she will serve in the next six months.
But she got other, special commands to fulfill. And these commands need preparations. She got a risky quest to catch an enemy spy who hiding on New Sudeten. A Mindbender agent, a fellow Medurian.
'I won't mind capture or kill such a traitor! I won't fail!'

Three hours later the starship called Longest Journey has landed in Port Strada, the starport of the capital Strada, hearth of the planet New Sudeten.
And while the tourist, traders and other kind of passangers left the starship's board an agent watched the ship silently from a distant tower of the starport. A misterious figure who awaited her own salvation...

New Sudeten was a peacefull and nice planet as Shara experienced after three days of staying. The planets defence was modern but somehow careless and the soldiers and warriors enjoy the seemingly neverending peacetime. This helped Shara a whole lot to seek her designated prey but her biggest surprise the people told her that she is the only medurian they have seen since a year or so.
There were not any of my kind since a standard year? thought Shara while she walked along a crowded street near the merchants' district. But Katya exactly said for me that the medurian spy is here on New Sudeten! She told me that witnesses saw the medurian snow! How could it be then? But apart from a young man who stare at her openly no answers are got. Shara started to wonder that the whole thing maybe a well made trap for someone who maybe important enough.
'Or someone have rather strong charm on people here, do not you think?' whispered someone softly right into Shara's ear. 'Do not even think to make something foolish, dear! I will kill you quicker than you could imagine!'
How could it be even happened? How could I be so careless? thought Shara almost desperately while she said only this: 'Right. What are your intentions if I may ask?'
'Come with me and I will tell you everything... maybe!'

Ten minutes passed slowly until the moment when the heavy door closed behind them and the cacophony of the merchant's district silenced. The room where they stand was small and dull the lights gave only enough light to give long shadows for everything inside. Two other doors were in the room and Shara wondered where may they open as she instinctly planned her run away. But her 'guide's' words angered her badly:'Why are you here on this planet renegade?'
'Renegade?' shout Shara furiosly 'I am the renegade you traitor snow! You cursed pawn of the hated Mindbenders!' and with a quick move Shara turned around and found herself face to face with another medurian who was way older and has strange tattoos on her face, breasts, belly and legs. The crazy patterns almost meshmerised Shara as she look upon them but something deep in her mind resist the whole thing. She felt like a drunk chick after a hard, not lonely, night...
'What do you know about me, sister? What do you know about my intentions? Nothing but you judge me already!' shaken the medurian her head slowly. 'You are to young to understand the depths of the things happening around you!'
'I do not serve those whom killed or enslaved my hive! I am not such a traitor' reply Shara quickly. 'I am here to judge you for your crimes against the Empire and against every medurian live scattered in this universe!'
'Young snow you are!' slaped the elder medurian Shara. 'Crimes against the Empire? I have a secret that may shake the Empire and I do want to share this with the imperials! And traitor of the medurians? snow! I serve those snow Mindbenders to save the survivors of my hive! How dare you judge me for this? Who are you to judge me because I want to save my queen, my sisters, my very hive?!'
And Shara have slaped again. The elder medurian walked up and down in the room for a while until she left all her anger then she turned toward Shara and said: 'stay here! I will get something edible. And do not even think about escape from here! If you touch any of the doors without my permission their electric jolt will hurt you really badly!'
Damn! thought Shara while the elder medurian fled her house. What the hell should I do now? I am in a trap and have nothing to do. I must do as she say and maybe gather some information before I get a chance to kill her!
And she smiled upon the last thoughts...

The darkness slowly disappeared and Shara felt like a supernova ravaged within her head. She looked around and haven't got even the slightest clue how the hell she ends up on an imperial vessel that carried mercenaries onboard. The whole situation was terrible odd and the bare idea tha she woke up naked in the middle of a vessel full of men bothered her more that she ever dreamed.
'R you fine, lil' chick?' asked her a mercenary suddenly who were called Brent as his uniform's title said.'Need some help mayhaps, chicka?'
'I am fine, but thank you that you asked!' told Shara while she get up and tried to make some step toward a door that leads for the passengers' cabins. But one thing still bothered her what she felt to ask:'Tell me, mercenary Brent! Where are we exactly and why?'
'Huh?' looked Brent at her like someone who think the other went nuts but finally answered:'New Sudeten's orbit where we are now and we prepare to attack a pirate hideout that discovered by some lucky scouts in the edge of this system. But if you wanna know more, chick, ask your precious noble superiors!'
'thank you your answer' replied Shara but the crude manner of the mercenary surprised her. Why do you hate nobles so badly, mercenary? And how am I end here?

After she found an empty cabin for herself she sit down on a chair and looked through the window into the darkness of space. She known that the planet she was on before she left her consiousness is under her or more accurately under the vessel she were on. But what happened? She did not know.
The last thing I remember that that old traitor snow said she bring something edible... And then darkness and no clues! Maybe she poisoned me? But why did not killed me? She told such strange things and I am not sure that she lied actually. Somehow her words were true even if she were really a spy of the Mindbenders... Strange...
And as Shara's thoughts chased each other quickly she slowly sleept.

ADDED ON 20.10.2011.:

The dream was rather crazy like a timed message what's just activated for the person who received it. The elder medurians face appeared and whispered silently. At first Shara don't hear the words but as she sunken deeper and deeper in that dream the voice of the medurian became louder. Her words were drastic and showed a plot of ultimate evil and hunger for power.
'Sister!' echoed the silent words in Shara's dream 'My name is Xentrataliveriandra and I have a secret I must share with you! I know that you hate me because I serve the Mindbenders but when you received this suggested dream I will be dead and paid for my forced treachery! Hear and heed my words and tell  them your masters or the Solarians as soon as it is possible!
'The Mindbenders found a relic of an ancient race and when they followed the informations the relic have contained they found a strange tomb in the system where you have found me! In the tomb there are sleeping members of an alien race the Mindbenders fear but want to controll and they think that if they could get the system or at least the tomb-moon they may have a chance to do so. This can not be ever happen! You must stop them or they set free something that triggered genetically sleeping dread from me. I do not know what is this race but we, Medurians, once had been terrified by them. Stop the Mindbenders and have vengeance upon them for your and my enslaved hives!'
And the dream started to fade away slowly until there remain nothing just dark void and some instinctive fear what triggered by the now dead medurian's words. The information Shara has received was important, the young medurian known this, but there was something sinister behind the whole thing.
Shara's eyes popped up as she suddenly wake up with a painfull feeling.
'That mercenary called Brent said they are here to hunt for pirates. Are these pirates Mindbenders whom working on some excavation of that tomb-world? What shall I do now? Get proofs and waste time or reach the closest solarian enclave and report this for them? I know my dead sister's words are true... So what shall I do now?' but the darkness of her room give no answer.

After some time she spend with thinking Shara decided to look after that mercenary called Brent and tell with him about the upcoming anti-pirate action. The plan what Shara build up in her mind was relatively simple: Speak with Brent and ask or command him to report for her after or, if necessary, during the strike against the pirates while she get a vessel and heading toward a solarian system to tell what she heard in her dream. Simple plan it was but weak to as if Brent dies or not report at all even if he survives the mission then Shara may lost crucial informations about the suspected tomb-world. Risky plan but Shara hasn't any better so far and she felt somehow that the time is short and she must speak with the solarians. It was a mere instinct but medurian instincts were legendarily accurate...
'All I need for now is just find that merc! But where the hell is he? It cannot be such a great vessel!' but the corridors just come and go without the mercenary Shara seeked. 'How should I ensure his loyalty afterall? He hates the nobles and it indicates he may hate the whole imperial system so his loyalty is doubtfull. Maybe I must seduct him? If I choose this option I am sure he will serve as best as he just could but if the seduction brake I may find myself trouble if I ever meet with him again...'
But finally the mercenary found her: 'What'cha doin' here chicka? R U lookin' for something or someone?
'Mercenary Brent!' turned Shara toward the male. 'I want to speak with you in private!'
'In private?!' surprised Brent. 'Well, whateva you wanna lil' chick! But let me get some drink first, mayhaps!' and as Brent started to laugh Shara realised the other possible meanings of her words.
'No humping or rumpy-pumpy what I have meant you rude human!' whispered Shara and Brent's face told everything for her. 'As an officer of the military I have some special objectives for you! But these things are only for your ears and not for others as well!'
'Fine, chicka!' replied Brent with a perfectly neutral manner and led Shara in his personal cabin. 'So whatcha' want, chick?' asked directly immediately after the door closed behind Shara.
'I want you to report directly me everything you will find or experience during the upcoming action! I want to know if you or your comrades find anything what is not especially could be connected to the pirates! I can not tell you more yet as even I do not know more... So, may I trust in your cooperation?
'Look, lil' chick! I dunno what the hell U talkin' about but if I ever say something is depend on this: for what prize?'
'For what prize?!' shout Shara. 'I am your superior in this mission! Why should I offer you anything if I could command you to do as I want?'
'Chicka! Offerings are good things! Believe me! So, if U wanna offer me something for exchange then I say I'm with ya! But otherwise I don't think so as mah contracts do not involve such things like obey for a naked chicka without compensation! So what Ur offer?'
'Rude snow!' moaned Shara furiously. 'I offer you... I offer you what you want after this action! But choose carefully, mercenary Brent!'
The mercenary's wide and shining smile planted doubt into Shara's heart but she finally got the answer she wanted to: 'I'm with ya, lil' chicka!'

Arin dropped out of sub-space in his one-man fighter about the time Brent had made his deal with Shara. noting the other Mercenary's presence and IDing the ship on sight, Arin chuckled softly. Brent and himself had a history of being in on the same problems time and again... though not necessarily on the same side. It would be regrettable to drag this feud to round twelve if the other Mercenary was working for the pirates, but the nobles who had hired him had been very, very clear... Bah, damn what they had ordered. Brent was the closest thing to a friend that Arin had outside the rebellion. Didn't mean that he wouldn't betray the man if it meant giving the rebellion a better chance, but until that possibility presented itself...

Opening up a com link with Brent, Arin said, "Hello my old rival! How fares the hunting!"

OK, Shara's journey continues:

Shara was furios, very furios, after her meeting with the vessel's commander. She wanted to borrow a one-manned vessel to head toward a solarian enclave but the commander's bad manner shocked Shara and much for her dismay she was the one who felt ashamed and not that xenophobic, racist redneck who called himself a vessel's commanding officer.
At the very beginning the commander, 'who called maybe Evan or something?', spoke with her like someone spoke with it's old, idiot dog rather than an intelligent being. Shara were taunted openly and whenever she said something the commander's reply was always rude and meaningless. And when Shara started to shout and demand a vessel to leave the cursed ship and it's 'self-humping' commander who much more fit for some kind of clown in a god-forsaken place the commander started to rage like a berserker...
Until Shara contacted with the New Sudeten command and ask their confirmation. They gave it for Shara who was sent for them as a 'special agent on a sensitive and important mission'. Hear that the commander was shocked and could not say anything just stood and looked Shara if the medurian would be a living ghost or something before he gave her a vessel with full tanks.
'What a fool was that commander!' thought Shara furiously from the dozenth time again. 'Such manner is unacceptable in a rigid system like the military! If he would be a part of a hive with such manner he quickly found himself dead! Sometimes I just can not understand the nobles behaviour...'
Suddenly a green light flashed in the control panel meaning that the vessel is ready for the jump. Shara typed the coordinates of the nearest system where she known to find solarians and pushed the confirmation button. The ship jumped into the hyperspace with a fainting flash and left the New Sudeten behind.

The space seemed to twisted from itself, everything became way to bright for a tiny shard of a second before turned the deepest darkness that someone's mind could imagine. And as suddenly and quickly as it started it ended with a stange, unconfortable feeling deep in Shara's belly and her vessel returned to the normal space near the Eridani system.
Shara preferred the normal hyper-space traveling than the short-jumps but jumps were way faster albeit more dangerous methods of space-faring. And Shara were in hurry because of the mental message she got from the dead medurian Xentrataliveriandra. The message demanded the solarians immenent attention and Shara felt deep inside that it is really important to speak with the solarians.
'If everything goes well that mercenary will soon send his report from the hideout raid!' thought Shara while she activated her ships IFF-system and started to travel toward the second planet, what the Nobles called 'Black Pearl' and was under the controll of House Nesme. The informations about the planet were interesting but Shara could not concentrate on them because the jump-caused shock. 'This method of traveling is good only a few known races but not for us, Medurians! And I doubt that the Nobles or their Human siblings could endure these effects better...'
And a few seconds later a high-pitched sound warned Shara for an incoming message. The medurian softly push the button and started to view the incoming message what was a video-message. The video were recorded by Brent's assault armour so the quality was rather poor but Shara could seen the important things on it and for further help the mercenary commented everything he recorded with his camera.
'Ancient mothers of the eternal Hives!' awed Shara whatching the video. 'What the hells are those rock like things? Their mere looking cause me awe and shiver deep inside! This thing is so ancient looking and it is radiate so much evilness! I must show this the solarians as soon as I can!'
And the recorded video ended with a sudden flash what frightened Shara. The medurian deeply hoped the flash didn't mean the male's death...

'Identify yourself, vessel!' came the words from Shara's communication system.
'My name is Sharazenralassharyndra, officer of the Imperial Army!' replied almost immediately. 'My identification code is MR-01a97-02! I must landing as soon as possible and speak with the solarians staying on this planet!'
'Please, my lady, wait until we check your ID code!'
'I will wait...' said Shara and breathed a deep.
'ID checked and accepted! My lady, you could landing on the coordinates we sent to you! We also sent a message into the solarian enclave! Enjoy your stay on the Black Pearl!'
'So far everything went well!' thought Shara and smiled when she started to manouvering toward the received landing coordinates. 'Hope my luck is not over here! I feel something terrible but do not know what... And somehow I know that I must face with it once!'

The "Black Pearl" proved worthy for it's name as the planets atmosphere was so dense that the sky was deep dark blue even on the brightest days. The unorthodox atmosphere however did not made the temperature cold but rather warm. The whole planet was tropical and covered with great jungles and black deserts while the water coverage were minimal. No oceans or seas existed, the largest water surfaces were mere lakes and small oasises scattered throughout the planet's surface.
And for Shara's surprise the cities fit extremely well into the planetscape. The city where she landed with her borrowed imperial vessel was a trading-center that had the largest starport of the planet. The buildings build in ancient style like the human buildings had built in the Terra's so called Medieval age. And as such the plants of the jungles quickly overgrown them and gave the city a rather ancient and beautyfull look what touched the visitor deeply.
Shara quickly realised that the city's streets are full of people and many of them are from alien races. She saw a small band of Mycoses, a few Greys, a whole mercenary band of Starwolves and dozens of Shel'oths and Medurians. And near the city's core Shara found the solarian enclave, a chrystal pyramid with eight black obelisks.
'These solarians know how to build breathtaking monuments!' thought Shara amused. 'I bet this enclave could withstand the wrath of the passing eons and will still standing even when the whole city won't be more than tarnished ruins of the fading times! Great Mothers of the Hives! The whole pyramid have made from one solid chrystal!'
And without any more hesitation Shara headed toward the pyramid. She had no time to look around the wares that offered almost everywhere along the street, no time to care about the beggars and vagabonds whom foolishly hoped that a naked woman has anything that may give for them. The only thing that catched Shara's attention was a graffitti on a wall, a sentence painted with six different colours and written on a language that Shara never even heard about:
'Viva la resistance!'
