[Roleplaying] Turn 1, 2025 Solaris VII

[LittleH13]

Solaris Space Port
Solaris VII



The roar of the engines firing to slow the giant spheroid dropship was a signal for Star Captain Quinn Kerensky to brace for the landing just before the ship made its very ungraceful landing. Quinn could not wait to stretch her legs and get some fresh air in her lungs after the long space travel she had just endured. As the passenger offload ramp was lowered she shoved herself to the front of the line and strode down to the tarmac. As her eyes became fully adjusted to the bright sunlight she was able to make out a warrior in Jade Falcon fatigues approaching her.

"Galaxy Commander Kerensky I am warrior Jonathan. I am your ride to the Jade Talons."

"This will be acceptable. I hope that the warriors are ready for a snap inspection, quiaff?"

"Aff, Galaxy Commander."

Quinn knew that she was considered old by her peers but for them to send her to Solaris VII to fight in the arenas? And to have nothing but solhama warriors under her command? She would whip them into shape and make them the best fighters on this rock for she had been told that the Falcons would be participating in the events as a testing ground for new equipment. This she looked forward to, new weapons would mean new ways for her clan to show off their strength and technical superiority. This and this alone was her reason for not doing a Trial of Refusal over this posting.

Claus, a grumpy Mechwarrior supposedly from the Jade Falcons applied for the tournament. Perhaps his stable would give him a more solid machine than the last.. and his Tech and Friend Ruppert would do better work this time. He guessed his skull still hurt from the beating Claus gave him after the Leg Actuators died..

And his shirt needed a washer.. badly.. people already looked at him disgustedly.. or was it his face? At least Ruppert had developed a good punch too..

Finally! Claus had a new assignment. A very olde Javelin, but nonetheless. The tests had shown it quite ok.

It was against the Ravens. Treacherous little birds with much Krah! but few bite outside of space.

The Star was led by Commander Hector, a tough guy Claus respected.. there was no doubt they would win.

It was done! The Ravens just asked for the retreat when their Marshal was killed in Ammo Ex and the Spider's leg was crushed by MW Charybdis. MW Skylla had shot dead the Marshal.. they really were a terrifiying and great sight. Just Claus would never couple with them, they had made that very clear to him..
and he could not hit anything with those crappy SRMS! It was not needed, however, the Falcons were still victorious!
