(Mmm, a peaceful Tellamin...?)
My name was Captain Igneous. My mission: Hunt down the Tellamin rebels. My ship had just recently been equipped with a prototype Mark I Light Speed engine, and I brought my ship through it's courses. The AI, short for Artifical Intellgince on board said to me, "Captain, we are approaching the space port."
"Very Well, Aqueos, carry on the course until the port authorities hail us." I say, sitting in the pilot's seat.
"They already are." Aqueos said, looking at me with his digital face.
"Then bring them up on screen for Pete's sake!" I said, irritable.
"Aye Aye sir," The face gave a salute and changed to the control tower.
"Human, identify yourself." It was the face of a Tsuleel, that wasn't too uncommon, due to their super intelligence.
"Captain Igneous of the cruiser Aegis." I reply, keeping my face level.
"Very well, land on the docks." The Tsuleel replied, giving me indications and coordinates. I nod and close the link. "Aqueos, I'll be 'suffering' from Null Sickness for the next two days." I shout to the ship.
"Very well sir, shall I run the audio loop?" The AI's cold voice responded.
"Excellent idea, run it." I reply, opening the door to my cabin and slipping. This was going to be a long two days. Let me explain Null Sickness to you, it's a sickness that Humans experince, after being in space for a long time, such has I was. However, it only affects those who are born on a world, not like myself, I'm a "Spacer" I've lived my whole life onboard one ship or another. Not many people trusted "Spacers" unless they were from the Military, which I was not. They trusted even less the Corprate Spacers, those who work for corprations such has Poneros Corp, or The Darkmoon Corp. So this guise of mine was perfect. Aqueos knew my mission must be secret if I was hiding with a case of the NullSickness. I lay on my bed and close my eyes, waiting for the two days to be up. |

(Sure go 'head I'll have to timewarp.)
Two days later, I'm up and on my feet when Aqueos alerts me that we need a repair, so I'm heading to a mechanic shop (That's yours RJ) |

A ship came up on my scanners. Humans. Ah well. getting to the controll pannel, I piloted the saucer over the human's ship and then sent a hailing frequency. "Are you compliance with my customary servicing fee?" |

Turning off the audio loop, I say, "Yes, indeed, what is your price, Tsuleel?" I look on the vid screen at the Grey. |

"'Pends on what you want me to fix." I replied, indicating that I wanted to be let onboard. |

"Aqueos, tell the Tsuleel what needs fixed." I say, to the AI, "Lets see... Oh, one of the engines is out, and... some minor hull repair... Lets see... Oh and you might wanna get that L.S capacator checked out, it's a prototype and bound to have bugs." Aqueos said. I nod and then indicate the Tsuleel to come through the airlock. |

I walked through the airlock, and accepted the list of repairs. "Hmm.....Complete engine repair.....hull fixes.....Lightspeed Capacatior? Eh.......12000 Credits. Take it or leave it." I replied. |

"12k? Not bad, that's cheaper than other mechanics for the same job." I wire the money to his account. (I'm out for now) |

(Will join, just one question about bio. Is it the captain, the ship, or both?) |

(Unsure of what you are asking about the bio, but the bio is about the Captian and the ship, plus you can mod it anyway you want to add appearnce/ theme/ etc) |

(Well you answered my question.)
(Another question, are these ships like battlecruisers, destroyers and frigates or are they smaller?) |

(The ones available for captains such has the players are smaller, usually 1-3 crew manned ships.) |

(Ah okay, I'm used to ships with a crew of a few hundred. I'm going to have to dust off some of my older designs for this one then. Sheet coming next post.) |

(I realized as I was going through that I had a few questions, what about vulcan cannons on a human ship? Also what exactly are the capabilities of laser cannons (are they actual light weapons or like the star wars ones?) |

(Vulcan Cannons...? As for laser cannons, it'd take 10 shots to break any shield, and then 5 more to breach a hull) |

I nodded, then walked towards the engine room. I paused, then asked "Can I have your ship's AI go with me? for technical specifications." |

"Aqueos lives inside the ship, he'll be with you every step of the way."
(As for vulcan cannons, no I didn't list Vulcan as an available race) |
