Trust a Teladi... But not too much

Post by Cha0sLord11 »

It was only 1 Jazura ago...
But I remember it like yesterTazura...
We were in a trading station in Omicron Lyrae, as usual, I was looking for some last minute bargins going on, there was Teladi everywhere, trading and selling whatever they had, I couldn't go into the Recreation Area for a quick beer without being asked "Teladi Request you buy Lottery Ticket, Very cheap, only 500 credits!" The guy bugged the hell out of me, so to make him go, I handed over a slip for 500 credits, he hissed in delight, and went away.
On the lottery ticket, I gazed in horror at it...
"Leave now, the Khaak are going to attack..."
.......
HE TOOK MY MONEY!!
But more importantly, what was this message about...
The Teladi are known for ripping people off and lying, I couldn't believe the message, but on the big comm screen, a argon pilot was screaming, panicking.
"EVERYONE, THIS IS CAPTAIN ROY GAFFEIT, CAPTAIN OF THE ARGON CENTAUR, WE ARE UNDER ATTACK BY AN UNKNOWN RACE, I, I THINK IT'S THE KHAAK, MY SHIP IS DAMAGED AND THEY ARE FOLLOWING ME, EVACUATE THE AARRGH!!"
The screen went blank, the station started to vibrate, everyone panicked, the hanger was 400M away from where I was, I ran as fast as I could to the hanger, but suddenly, the station had split in half, the extreme vacuum of space was sucking everyone out, the Teladi that sold me the ticket said.
"Teladi told you Khaak attack was Imminent!!" He hissed as he was sucked out into space.
I held on to whatever I could get my hands on, and slowly began to pull myself towards the escape pod hanger, there was a big heavy door, that somehow I singlehandedly shut.
I was safe, but there was but 1 pod left, and a Paranid pushed me out of the way and stabbed me with something as he rushed towards the escape pod.
No way was I taking that, I grabbed my hand blaster and shot him in both legs, he fell on to his face, leaving me to walk towards the escape pod.
But he grabbed my leg, I fell over and he started to stab me with something.
I had holes in my chest and gasped for air, as I reached for my blaster, the final stab made me pass out.
When I woke up, I was adrift in space.. My suit had enough oxygen to last for another 40 Mizura, I was doomed.
My thrusters didn't work, I just screamed as I drifted towards a load of nothingness...
But everyone knows in space, no one can hear you scream...
But my attention was diverted to a massive battle, these ships, looking like triangles, firing orange beams, destroying other Argon ships, there was a massive explosion it almost blinded me.
After another 2 mizura, I saw something big drifting towards me...
If it was a Khaak ship... I was doomed...
But I was beamed aboard, it was an Argon ship, I was rushed to medical, and I passed out.. Again.
When I woke up, I was in a medical lab, this bandage was around my waist where I had been stabbed 100 times, I managed to start walking, I walked out of the lab, the ship was huge.
It took me 40 Mizura to find the bridge, where the captain was an old friend.
I noticed him immedieatly, after 15 Jazura
"Noah!!
Noah Salamo!!
From Argon Pilot Academy???
I don't believe it"
He turned around and smiled,
"Adam Senura??
Wow, it's been long huh old friend?"
"Indeed" I replied. "Whats this battle about?" I asked
"It's the Khaak, they declared war on us for no reason, this is an evacuation ship, so were not....."
There was a massive shockwave
"Radar! Report!"
"Captain, a missle had just hit us, Shields down to 30%!"
"What kind of missle can do that much damage??" He screamed "Activate Jump Drive, get us somewhere safe!"
"Aye Captain!" Said Navigation, "Jumping to system Argon Prime!"
There was a strage bluish light around the ship, then we went like 10000000 miles per jazura...
I felt sick afterwards, and released the contents from my stomach...
It seems Spacefly Stew doesn't go well with high speed travel..
"Don't worry Adam, it takes a while to get used to it!" Chuckled Noah.
I wiped my mouth clean of the puke.
We docked at Terracorp HQ, and I met my old captain Liam Kho...
Elena Kho's son, who explained that the Khaak destroyed the Argon fleet, and that the Xenon had joined on their side.
He then said the the Boron, Teladi and Split had joined us, and even the Paranid were helping us.
Argon Busters and Novas have been dispatched, with plenty of backup from the Boron, Teladi, Split and Paranid.
I myself offered to help.
"You? Fly a ship? In your condition?" He asked
I was willing to do it.
Because I was his highest ranking student, he gave me a special ship, it was called the Argon Annihilator, it was the size of a M6, a bit smaller, it had 4 turrets, each with the experimental "Gamma Kyon Beam" I heard of it, it could destroy a Argon Collosus with one hit.
It had a top speed of 750Ms and 8 125MW shields and a 250MW shield to hold them all together.
I was honoured, I took the ship, and was instantly familiar with the monster.
I pilotted the thing back to Omicron Lyrae, said my last words and set the turret command for attack all enemies.
I was instantly bombarded with laser fire, but the turrets destroyed many of the Khaak ships, space stations were destroyed, debris was everywhere, I had an adrenaline rush, the on board computer said I had destroyed 200 Khaak ships!
Another 2 Stazura passed, the ship was damaged by missle and kyon beam fire, the engine was damaged as well, only 2 of the 4 turrets were working and I was in deep trouble.
4 Khaak ships followed me, shooting me, the shields were almost gone, the turrets took them out, but then, the Mother ship appeared before me.
The front Kyon turrets lit up with energy, I said my prayers, and expected to be vaporized, but hundreds of missles blew the front turret off, hundreds of Argon, Boron, Teladi, Split, and Paranid swarmed the ship, but mine was still seriously damaged, the comm screen showed Noah's face.
"Quick! Get on board, we don't have much time, the Khaak mothership is going to explode, and it's going to spread all across this system!! Hurry Up!!" He screamed.
I autopiloted the ship into his Argon Collosus, and navigation once again activated the jump drive...
"No dice sir, not enough power" Said the Navigation officer.
"Activate engine thrusters, full speed towards the south gate! Move!"
The ships started moving, it was traveling at 500Ms, the south gate was in sight, but suddenly there was an explosion of epic proportions, I looked out of the windows, and a blinding light lit the system.
A visible shockwave could be seen, slowly stalking the ship, it was about a kilometre away, thats when the ship violently started shaking.
"Shields down to 5% sir! Shields Destroyed! Hull down to 80%! 60%! Activating Auxilery Shields!"
"How far are we to the gate!" Screamed Noah
"We're 100M away, but that shockwave is gaining on us!!" said Navigation
"Auxilery Shields destroyed sir! Hull down to 10%! 5%!!!"

We reached the jump gate, the ship was still in one piece.. Almost, I had it, I wanted to get out, The ship docked at Terracorp HQ.
I had it, I went to my quarters for some well deserved sleep...
I slept for Jazuras.
When I was revitalized, I decided to see the devastation the explosion had caused, and it was horrific...
The was tonnes of debris everywhere, bodies and destroyed ships were everywhere, the ship detected massive heat and gamma radiation signatures, the ship would be fried if I stayed any longer...
I was traumatized by that event, and I daren't go back...
I still remember the Teladi that warned me... If only I listened...
I thought never to trust a Teladi... But I should have...
Like they say.. The Teladi are dishonest and sneaky..
But this one wasn't....

Nice but unlogical ;)
>....DAMAGED AND THEY ARE FOLLOWING ME, EVACUATE THE AARRGH!!"
What's the "Aargh"? Is it the station name? Then no need to use full-uppercase text for scream, just make the remark and use dots - like ""...following me, evacuate th.." - and then he screamed with fear and pain as his face drowned in flames and static filling the screen."

>"Teladi told you Khaak attack was Imminent!!" He hissed as he was sucked out into space.
If a hole's big enough, the air would leave the station so damn fast that nobody would even move before exploading into bodyparts from the pressure difference

>...and stabbed me with something...
>...started to stab me with something.
Lol another remark and I'll be fully sure "something" is an actual name for the weapon :lol: Use different words ;)

>When I woke up, I was adrift in space.. My suit...
Err wtf? I thought he stabbed you (apparently with no spacesuit on at that point) till you passed out, where did the spacesuit come from then? hmm..

>ships, looking like triangles, firing orange beams
Lol no GK-emmiter for the fightercraft so they are purple ;)

>I still remember the Teladi that warned me... If only I listened...
What, would you kindly ask the Khaak not to attack so they'd not blow up? ;)
