Lei
Bridge
Lei shrugs. "Heave to it is then. I'll keep one hand on the go button." "
As the captain leaves, she flips on the comm system. Alliance Patrol Ship Renown, this is Alpha Panda. We are complying with your order to standby. All our systems read nominal, and we are ready for docking."
Lei puts the guns into standby mode. They won't be able to outshoot a patrol boat for even a second, but crippling the ASREV might make them slow down for long enough for Alpha Panda to make an escape. The airlock could be shut quickly enough to cut the Alliance soldiers off from their ship too. If the captain was a good commander who cared about his men, he would at least take the time to weigh his options before blowing them out of the Black. That was, of course, dependent upon the commander being an officer of high moral character, something that was very possibly not true.07/03/2018: I’m back. The long break was necessary.

Re: Alpha Panda, Serenity RPG IC
Approaching Alpha Panda
The ASREV barrel rolls to match the Mantis class vessels' alignment on it's final approach, a showy bit of piloting, allowing no room for error.
In a single smooth motion, the highly advanced docking unit extends to meet the Alpha Panda. Some of the most expensive vacuum resistant memory plastic manages to look like cheap canvas on straw hoops.
Cargo Bay Airlock
The compliant systems of Alpha Panda obeyed the instructions of the Alliance vessel, and opened when the pressure's equalised each side of the cargo bay door.
The First in were two purple belly grunts. Instead of combat gear, they were in one of the arcane semi-formal uniforms the Londinium crewed ships maintained, mainly as an excuse to keep the hands busy.
Followed by a Young man, wearing a mix of more the standard alliance uniform and the deliberately archaic fashion of the other uniform looking distinctly odd. It's clear the firm grip of the Alliance is a little shaky out here in the black. Though if he swapped his head gear for a regulation service cap, by vid screen, he'd look uniform perfect.

Jack
Alpha Panda's Cargo Bay
Jack's hand twitches as the purple belly grunts set foot on his ship. Even after all these years, it's hard not to think of them as the enemy; instead of shooting them, however, he contents himself with narrowing his eyes at the officer.
"That would be me," he says, raising a hand slightly. It is not his shooting hand. "How can we assist the Alliance today?"Amazing Banshee avatar by Strawberries. Many, many thanks.

Re: Alpha Panda, Serenity RPG IC
Alpha Panda's Cargo Bay
"Ah, Captain" The young LT, with an actors flair clicked his heels together in something approaching a greeting, a punctuation to what became a forward step, hand out held palms down and arms reach from the Former Independent pilot.
"Your currently listed flight path crosses into an Alliance Blockaded space, you are Required by the Anglo-Sino Alliance and Authority of Parliament to redirect and file a new flight plan…"
A moment hung as he drew breath.
"I now require notice of why you have requested permission to cross the Blockade and why prior notice wasn't obtained following the Unification Blockade Policy memorandum. Failure to produce good reason is a Criminal Offence.
His hand was still out stretched.

Alpha Panda's Cargo Bay
Jack fixes the young officer with a level stare for a long moment, before, grudgingly, handing over a leather envelope containing a variety of creatively edited ship's documents.
"They should all be in order," Jack says with very forced off-handedness. "Don't want any trouble here, just want to do the job. Maybe our authorisation just got held up somewhere?" he adds with a shrug.
There's a faint crinkling noise from the packet, not unakin to the kind of crinkling noise a 100-credit note makes.Last edited by Aneurin; 2013-03-19 at 01:40 PM.

Re: Alpha Panda, Serenity RPG IC
Alpha Panda's Cargo Bay"
The Young LT examined the papers, and withdrew a couple of folded cortex sheets, which folded like animated origami. He seemed to be checking the documentation, but was satisfied in moments, too short for a cortex search to have returned anything from out of the system.
He returned the data sheets to his pocket, and there was no sound, not a crinkle or rustle to indicate he had also taken the credit note.
"Very well Captain, I see you have everything in order your end. Honestly, the Corone Mining Consortium have created a problem and are expecting us to enforce a blockade to fix it for them. It's a terrible waste of credits don't you think. But I suppose it does make work fortus both."
He glanced over at the "Body" not wanting to get a closer examination.
"My Condolences Mr Larssen,"
He turned back to Captain Oregon.
"You have clearance, but will be required to file your exit flight plan with the Renown"
With that, the young Alliance officer turned, and left, flanked by his two slightly ridiculous looking grunts, the air lock cycled, and a calm extended across the cargo bay. The purple belly's had left the ship.Last edited by Adlan; 2013-03-20 at 02:52 PM.

He scowls after the purplebellies.
"I do believe that man intends for us to bribe him again when we leave," Jack says grimly, shooting the closed airlock a distasteful glance. "Well, we'll deal with that when the time comes - though I am inclined to just shoot him and rabbit, if it comes to it. I hope like hell this job is worth it.
Anyway," he goes on, walking over to the intercom and opening a channel to the bridge. "Lei, we've got a green light for landing, but they want us to file an outbound flight plan with them.

Having managed to keep herself calm for the 'inspection,' Sia goes back to her medbay and pulls an interesting collection of drugs from a small gyro. Clicking the vial into the incetor, she goes back to the main hold where Cole sleeps his time away.
Timing here was critical. Too soon, and he would wake up if the Alliance came back.
Too late, and she won't be going to dinner with anyone.

"How long till we hit atmo?"
"I'll be taking it slow with Alliance looking over our shoulder, so give it 20 minutes. 21 minutes, 37 seconds, if you want precision.
The blue and orange designated flight plan stretches out, and Lei settles Alpha Panda in nice and easy.
"Lei, we've got a green light for landing, but they want us to file an outbound flight plan with them. Mind sending them one? And keep your eye on that patrol boat - Alliance guarantees aren't worth the spit it takes to say them,"

Jack pauses a moment as he takes in to consideration Lei's flight plan.
"Think of five legal routes off this rock, then send them your least favourite. After that, pick five illegal routes off of here and give me your favourite,"
He turns to the others, grinning slightly. Despite the anger and loathing inspired by the Alliance officer on his ship, he's starting to feel good about this - spitting in the eye of authority is so much more fun if authority's given you a fresh reason to hate it.

Lei
Bridge of Alpha Panda
Lei smiles. "Well, chuanzhang, orbital mechanics being what they are, the illegal routes are about the same as the legal routes, only we go a lot faster, go to to blackout, and don't tell anybody we're leaving. At least if you want to make it to another civilized place under our own power. If you want really dangerous, I can give you a route that burns all our fuel, moves us wéixiǎn de kuài, and hopefully points us at somewhere they won't be wanting to shoot at us. It'll only work yīnwèi wǒ shì fēicháng cōngmíng de." With a few clicks, the legal, Alliance-approved, safe and cautious lanes appear on-screen. Lei mutters to herself for a few moments, fingers wiggling and eyes flashing to and fro across equations only she can see. She inputs her calculations into the computer, and four of the Alliance-approved routes are joined by a deep red line with steeper curves and a dozen warning signs that are quickly dismissed. A fifth line juts straight out from the planet, with various warnings for imminent danger, injury, and death plastered all around it. Lei dismisses those as well. The computer could say whatever it wanted; the Alliance safety guidelines were written in so deeply she would never quite be able to get rid of them, and they were occasionally useful. The safety overrides had been removed flawlessly though.
wéixiǎn de kuài = dangerously fast
yīnwèi wǒ shì fēicháng cōngmíng de =because I'm extraordinarily clever.
@Adlan: Mind rolling for me so I don't know how good Lei's calculations are? More exciting and dangerous that way.

Cole bolts upright and inhales sharply, balling up his fists and tensing like he was going to swing as his fight or flight instinct kicked in upon regaining consciousness. A small bark-like scream escaped his lips as he began to blink rapidly and gaze around the medical bay with a lack of understanding as to just where he is and what was going on.

Jack
Alpha Panda's Cargo Bay
"I was thinking of you just ignoring whatever local flight restrictions they may have, but whatever works. Don't get us all killed, mei mei. That's an order,"
Alpha Panda's Captain's Cabin
Carelessly, Jack rubs Cap'n Rogue's flank as she sprawls across his lap in a contented to heap. His sleeves are rolled up, and he's resting his head against the wall - feeling, more than hearing, the soothing throb of the engines that prevades the entire ship.
To one side lies his much-loved and well-cared-for cutlass, complete with ornate sheath. The hand-guard is marked with the Chinese character for 'Independence', moulded into the bronzed steel. The sheath itself has, in English, 'Freedom' emblazoned on either side.
Normally, he'd be up on the bridge for an entry sequence; but the encounter with the Alliance officer has upset and unsettled him more than he cares to admit. It's been a long, long time since Jack last dealt with the Alliance up close and personal like this.
"Seven years..." he whispers. "And I miss you more every day,"Last edited by Aneurin; 2013-04-02 at 03:10 PM.

Re: Alpha Panda, Serenity RPG IC
Alpha Panda Bridge
As Alpha Panda's flight path brings you close to the Port Authority Becaon, you are close enough for a short, tight band signal, untraceable to higher orbit scanning.
“This is Frisco Port Authority! Gau guhn! The whole town’s turned out to Jah Yoh you.There’s a band and everything! Mr.Blake’s hopin’ you’ll give a speech whenyou land — you know, to get everyone’s spirits up and all. Ta Ma Duh — you’re cleared to land. See you in the world!”
The transmission ends abruptly, presumably so as not to attract the attention of the Alliance if they happened to be looking closely. Tagged on the signal are the co-ordinates of what must presumably be the landing field.Necromunda Total War:IC

Re: Alpha Panda, Serenity RPG IC
Lei
Bridge of Alpha Panda
Lei locks on to the landing coordinates, taking manual control instead of simply allowing the ship to land itself. Alpha Panda was more than capable, but Lei is taking the ship in slow and easy, less likely to alert the Alliance that something isn't quite right.
As they enter atmo, the gravity starts to become more noticeable. Maybe the ones that were born and raised dirtside, wouldn't notice it, but the gravity of a planet always felt different, more restrictive. Lei knew that was nonsense, gravity was gravity, but it always just made her feel...droopy. She swore the ship didn't care for it either, groaning and creaking as the planet grasped for the ungainly craft. The asteroid hadn't been so bad. Those people were spacers like her, and the surroundings familiar. Planetside though, that was uncomfortable. It was noisy, dirty, and beyond all, crowded.
The first time Lei had encountered so many people was when she had been forcibly conscripted. All her life, it had just been her extended family and those that they brought aboard on the ship. Then the Alliance had come and shoved her on to a planet with the thousand other "recruits" they had rounded up that week. During training, the others had wanted to use their limited leave to explore the Core, see the cities they had heard so much about. Not Lei; she just wanted to get back into space. The next time they had let her out into the black though, they had stuck her in front of a control panel and told her to wreak havoc on Independent ships. The other EWOs treated it like a game, but Lei knew that there were people in those ships, and that the ships themselves were screaming as the cannons cracked them open.
Lei aims a tight band comm blast back. "This is Alpha Panda. We hear you and are receiving your signal. We'll do the party after we offload our shipment. Please prepare to receive." Lei then quickly switches off external comms and active scanners, with only a lock on the landing field coordinates, vision, and intuition guiding her. She speaks into the internal comm, "We have coordinates and a friendly greeting. Prep for landing."07/03/2018: I’m back. The long break was necessary.

It took several long minutes for Cole to get his feet back under him in anything resembling a solid manner. When he did, he slowly made his way back to his and Sia's bunk to shower and change. He still felt a little... off... and wanted to lie down for a few minutes, before they touched down and would all be going dirtside."There's a beast in every man, and it stirs when you put a sword in his hand."- Ser Jorah Mormont"I fight... so that you don't have to."- Templar Thomas Marshall"I am not a warrior."

Re: Alpha Panda, Serenity RPG IC
FRISCO
Twin ridges of peaks run from the east curving back into the length of the mountain range that runs north and south, forming a dry bowl. The towering mountains on the west side are scarred by a prominent mining operation:
the hoist house, dump and rail line are clearly visible as you approach.
Near it is the town of Frisco. Seen from the air, it looks as though
a child had carefully drawn two straight, well planned streets and then suddenly tired of the work and began scribbling roads and trails in all directions. The straight streets contain the more prominent — and permanent — buildings. These streets form a “T” with the shorter avenue at the top bumping up against the hillside below a large industrial installation. The base of the “T” — the longer street — runs from the single intersection of the town all the way south to what is grandiosely called “Frisco Port Authority” — a train station servicing three small landing pads. As you follow the beacon to the central landing platform, you can clearly see that many of the townsfolk have gathered there and are waving up at the ship. You can also see that they are too close to the landing pad.
It's a bit busy for a smuggling mission, and it'll be hard to avoid knocking them over with the ships downdraft.
SpoilerYup, Lei that's a hard piloting roll please. If you even want to bother avoiding the townsfolk.Necromunda Total War:IC

Lei grumbles 污垢肏人...can't they keep out of the way? She flips on the external PA. "We're happy to see you to, but you need to clear the landing pad! We're coming down and we don't want to land on you!"
Landing: Alpha Panda's Agility (1d12)[7] + (1d2)[1] + Lei's piloting (1d12)[5]

Dance to Tom Payne's bones,
Dance in the oldest boots I own,
to the rhythm of Tom Payne's bones.
