First Stop Null-B
::Earth side the rockets engined primed, Shandra, Cy and a few other Void Engineers were suited up in space suit and straped into their seats, Cy's was more secure the nthe others but then again this was his first trip and he was a potential risk being showed the inner sanctum. 3...2...1... The rocket shook as it took to the sky its pace increasing gometiricly. As the wold fadded below and they peirced the Guantlet into space a hot band or shards riped through the crew, 2 of the comand crew took 1 aggravated heal level of damage from the shards of spirit matter, the 3rd took even more, 2 agg (everyon has only 7 health levels each), Shandra gritted her teath but luck smiled as she just barly escape the shards, and her luck was passed to Cy as they passed the shards without harm. Into space they went and the rocket quickly docked. As the Hatch opened a team of doctors rushed in to treat the wounded as Shandra unbelted her seat and helped cy out of his leading him out of the rocket into Null-B. Null-B the Technocratic construct was a mind blowing experience, one part Babalon 5 one part Star Trek it was something beyond belive or imagination even on TV::
Cy's eyes light up like a little kids.
"Dude! THIS SO FUCKIN COOL!!!"
He yells looking around. He calmly turns to Sandra smilrking.
"Alrighty, ya got me..."
He says calmly.
Re: First Stop Null-B
"And this is only the First Stop, as you saw the storm shreds the enlightned, we were lucky, but my suporiors thought it best we stop here first, it will be about a hour before a Void Craft is ready to take us to the COP, and thats the real mind trip, You thing this is the @#%$, Whhat till you get inside a void Craft they put the Enterprise to Shame!"
Re: First Stop Null-B
"I can't wait. So what do we do til then?"
Cy looks at the various people coming and going as if they all have some place important to be.
Re: First Stop Null-B
"Not really much, cant have you touch anything that you may end up blowing up without training. Even our unEnlightened crew get trained. See thats another big difference between mages and Technocrats. We can train those who dont have our "genius" to still use our advanced technology. You had a magical sword to a mundane and nothing will happen, you train our of our proles to use a Forces Carbine and hes as deadly as me on the battle field. But lets walk to the Gatway transport and i'll clue you in on the 5 convention of the Technocracy, obviously id want you to jointhe VE so i might be a bit biased"
Re: First Stop Null-B
::Shandra flusters, stumbles, and clears her throat trying to regain her composure as they walk::
"Uh...uh...right...First well cover the $yndicate, A lot of folks dont like them, neither do i but i respect them. The Syndicate manage our finiaces, cut funding, approve it, so on and so forth. The Money men get a bad rap by cutting funding but would any of us like to manage our own funds let along the entire union?"
Re: First Stop Null-B
"The we got the NWO, the New World Order, Ever see the film with Will Smith, well thats them, Their Men in some Drab Color, denotes their rank, Black, Grey, White, their the enforcers going and and doing a pis poor copy of the VE's pan dimensional border patrols and basicly taking down threats that started earth side not out here. Then we have the Wathers who basicly function solly to cover things up. Gotta love them though i for one would not have to keep the link of the weird-@#%$ out in the real world, and honestly do you want to Masses to know "hey 3 shambelign reanimated corpses were just tryingto feast on a bum's tasty brains" or "a shapeshifting beast able to defy the logical order of time, summon demons, and rend you limb from limb was just taken down by a entire team of Technocrats" no thank you, they do not need their minds blown right out of their heads! GOD BLESS THE N.W.O. Media Control..."
Re: First Stop Null-B
"But sometimes things have to have been seen and confirmed?"
Cy scratches his head.
"How do we check to see if this ship is ready?"
Re: First Stop Null-B
"I'll get a page don;t worry...Answer me this would you like the screeming masses to see a towering 9 foot werewolf rip a man in half or just keep that a secret that those who can take him down only know. We don't need mass panic.
::she takes a deep breath::
Then we have the Proginators, anythignthat has to do with the body they do, cloning, genetic alterations, like oh my claws and eyes, and...foot pads, combat monsters for our own use, medicine, drugs, that sort of stuff, their our doctors, mad and other wise."
"Personally being the sick and twisted freak I am, but I like that kinda stuff... But that's how I also get my power some-times..."
Cy suddenly gets a bad feeling...
"Wierd..."
Re: First Stop Null-B
"Then you might make a good proginator..." She paused "Weird, whats weird?"
"Anyway the next grou pis Iteration X, they make HIT Marks, basicly ever see terminator, smone leaked to the masses about HITMARKS cause Arnold sure as hell is one. Anyway ITX have this rule where when you join they cut out a poece of your brain and stick in a computer. Dunno what good it does ut everyone in the Convention is part PC. Back in the olden days ITX Helped the VE learn to make our own technology when the other convention told us to @#%$ ourselves so we ow them big, without their guidence the VE's would not be what you see today. So if you become a VE rember to always help out a ITX even if it puts you life in danger, its a sign of gratitude. One weve only partially repaied by giving them the kes to Autocrocia, this machine planet on the other side of the Sun. They commune with their machine go their and claim they know the place inside and out becaise its no logical and orderly, ok so they got a bit of a ego. Their good people, er cyborgs, and their master builders."
Re: First Stop Null-B
"Honestly not much, i know a little but about mages in general, vampires, werewolves, and the other things out in the night but my RD Data is limited, The last convention is us Void Engineers and boy can i tell you details about us First off we got 6 methodologies spliting up our group. Research and Excecution, not development, when RE make a new device their right out their in the field Excecuting a field test then bac kto the research to better it. They dive into their work. Earth Frontier Devision EFD basicly explore the earth, the artic, the rainfores,t the ocean, underground, you name it and belive you me their are thing on earth as bad as out here.
Pan-Dimensional Corps, the Spce marines their the guys out here, in space, cross the realm, exploring other reality and blow up any alien menace headed for earth.
Cybernaughts and Crononaughts are a cool group, the Cybers explore the Digital Web, basicly a physcial manifestation of the internet anc computers, Can you guess what Chrononaughts do? Explore time, which is damn risky, you mean your own past self and reality can blow up, so they prefer to go FORWARD not back.
Then their my group Border Corps Devision, we stand at the for front taking down the stuff that gets past PDCs. And if they get past us all thats left is the Nutrilization Specilist Corps who do the old Men in Black scich cleaning up the media and any baddies who get past me back on earth."
Re: First Stop Null-B
"Well a Blood-Mage gathers power from killing someone, torturing, and in some cases sexual activities. I admit my power comes with a taint, and I only kill those that won't be missed, well most of the time."
Cy draws his sword in a flash.
"This blade has fallen many... Most of them I regret, but I don't wanna risk being at my peek and needing my power to help those in danger..."
Cy blushes again.
"Sorry, so I how do I get into this Border Corps?"
Re: First Stop Null-B
::Shandra smiles, almost purring::
"You won;t have to kill for power any longer, First of all VE take 2 years of basic training, your obviously already awakened so you could probably just get a crash couse in re educating your "school of magic casting" in a few months then you can ask the higher up to join the BC."
::Shandra chuckles looking up they had walked all the way to a Gateway Transporter::
"WE probably got another 15 minutes til our ships ready but if you want we could Gate their, or as they Trekies call it "transport"
Re: First Stop Null-B
::Shandra nodded to Technician::
"New recriut for the COP, fire up the gate way"
"Clearance?"
"Well not specificly but i did recruit him and this was a stop over."
"Guess it can't hurt, COPs pretty standard."
"Thanks"
Shanda lean in givingthe tech a kiss on his cheek at the device powered up and Shandra pulled Cy into the Energy field after it formed. For a moment their was no sensation except the disconction of 2 places in one space. Then Reality snaped back, and they were acelerated at unbelvable speeds to the destinationthey had been co located with. And as their vision adjusted Cy got a look at the Copernicus Research Center, the COP, a huge Dyson Sphere out in Alpha Centuri, in the Deep Universe, he had seen much at Null-B but the COP was much grander, and smack dab in the middle was a ACTUAL STAR being studied by the COP crew.
Re: First Stop Null-B
Cy stumbles foward and leans on the wall. The pain he feels causes him to drop to the floor. He's holding his sides.
"My god!"
Cy stands.
"Sorry... Wasn't expecting it to be like that..."
