TIEC: Saturn Mission.

[Bonaduce Alander]

"Cortana what is out ETA?" said Captain Keyes.
"about 5 seconds"
"WHAT!?"
The Pillar of Autumn suddenly jerked out of hyperspace about a half a thousand miles away from Saturn. Captain Keyes was on the floor and got back up to give orders to the crew to prepare the atmoshperic exploration vehicle(AEV).
"Cortana It would have helped if you had given me a warning."
Sorry sir"
"Whatever.You know what to look for Cortana, date of birth, pressure, mining capablility, all that boring sciene junk. Just get the job done so we can go do something more intresting.

[Serconea]

OOC: You mean half a million miles, right? Saturn is a gas giant and has some LETHAL radidation levels close up

The Swift Spring jumped out about 6 million miles away.

"This is Swift Spring. This planet has moons, we're going to check them out. First stop, Mimas.

[Bonaduce Alander]

OOC: I mean like 500 miles from the moons.

"Ok Swift Spring, Carry on. I'm going to have a little rest and let Cortana do all the work" Captain Keyes replied.

[Henneth annun]

As the X-33 rounded saturn, they came in sight of Titan. "Men, Titan is the largest moon in the solar system, and we have been sent down to find anything out of the ordinary. There is a lot of lead filled Ice that our sensors cannot penetrate, so we will have to penetrate it with a manned submarine drilling system."
Said Gen. Cospel to his men. "Also, I will need to have approval from Captain Keyes."

[Bonaduce Alander]

"This is Captain Keyes calling the X-33, You may Proceed Genral Cospel, I didn't give you that drilling equipment for nothing, Keyes out."

"Captain," Cortana said" We have found something peculiar on one of astroids floating around Saturn, it appears to be some kind of unknown metal"
"Well then get a sample Cortana" the Captain replied." You know the mission parameters just as well as I do, if not better, proceed to get a sample and run it through all the tests you want"
"Yes Captain"

[Henneth annun]

"Great, I will proceed" Said Gen. Cospel, in the Drill pod now. "Private, ready to drill, 5..., 4..., 3..., 2..., 1..., Drill."
The Drill snapped on and started to drill through the Ice. "Sir we are now through the Ice." Siad a Private in the pilots seat. Well? Is it liquid methane, Liquid Mucury, or what?" Asked General Cospel. "Sir, It's Water" Resonded the Private. "And I believe the is coral down there!" "What? We need to Contact Captian Keyes Immeadtly! And tell him the Historic find!!!" Yelled Cospel.

[Bonaduce Alander]

"Yes, Keyes here, go ahead X-33,, what did you find?"

[Henneth annun]

" Sir, There is WATER down here! and It appears that there is Coral, too!" Said Cospel to Keyes over the hail. "And, I believe that there is natural light emitting from the core of the planet, keeping the Coral Alive!"

[Bonaduce Alander]

Captain Keyes smiled to himself. At least this mission won't be completly worthless, he thought.
" Good job Genral Cospel, proceed to obtain samples and study the rest of the ocean for other forms of life." Captain Keyes replied, " Keyes out".

"Captain" Cortana said," we have found mysterious markings on the astroid sample we obtained".

"Myserois markings you say"the captain replied,"gather the rest of the astroid and forward the pictures to Genral Cospel, I want to know what he makes of this thing"

[Henneth annun]

"Hmmm, These markings are remarkably complex, Can you get in closer and see how old they are?" Said Gen. Cospel. "Oh, and these coral are seemingly moving along the bottom."

[Bonaduce Alander]

"Hmmmm..... I'll get the AEV in as close as we can, Captain Keyes replied," How are the coral moving? If you can get any closer do so, but try not to disturb the formations. If you can't get any closer I'll send one of my intense preasure subs to your aid, they are unmanned, so no need to worry about loss of life."

[Henneth annun]

" Well, I could use an Unmanned sub to try and gather a sample." Said Cospel.

[Bonaduce Alander]

"Then consider it there!" Captain Keyes replied."It'll be there faster than you can say... oh wait it's already there. On a more seroius note we have examined the rock and it appears to be over 3 thousand years old, but I'm not quite sure what to make of that discovery."

[Henneth annun]

OOC: I'm gonna be gone a week, so I won't be able to get on.

IC: "Well, the Lead content in the Ice is going to cut off communications, so I will try to set up base down here." Siad cospel.

[Parthini]

OOC: That's ok. Just say Admiral Cospel has to go to his mother's funeral or something and let BA take control of your crew. I'm sure he'll be nice

IC: Kale spoke to the communicator, "Send a message to the Jupiter and Saturn Crews. 'Hello, we have arrived at the moon Phobos and are sending down the crews to begin construction on a base there. We should be completed and sending down a team to Mars in about 3 weeks (2 days). I have also ordered 4 squads down to take a look at the surface. How are you?"

[Bonaduce Alander]

OOC: Starting when?

"Good Genral Cospel. Proceed with studies and we will re-establish comunications later."

[Henneth annun]

OOC: I'm leaving for a week Today.

IC: "Well, communications should break downtoday, and stay that way unless we have a wireless linkage." Replied Cospel.

[Bonaduce Alander]

OOC: Have a good time. TTY in a week!

IC: "Alright Genral Cospel proceed with all tests and other functions."

[Serconea]

"This is the Swift Spring. We are approaching Mimas and will land shortly".

[Bonaduce Alander]

"Good Swift Spring, proceed to exaim the surface of Mimas and search for mining and colonization posibility."

[Henneth annun]

Suddenly a transmission patched through!

"Keyes!*Lazer firing in the Backround* We are not alone down here! There are the bieng made of energy! Need assistance, Not much time!" Gen. Cospel transmitted as the latest attacks took out the wireless reciever.

[Bonaduce Alander]

" Hang in there Genral Cospel, I'll be there as soon as I can." Captain Keyes franticly responded,"
Cortana lend as much aid as you can from here, I'm going down on the first Pelican to the base" Captain Keyes Bolted out of the bridge and took the lift to the docking bay. He scrambled aboard the first shuttle he could find.
"Captain"said the pilot"Shouldn't you hang back on this one"
"No" The Captain responded sternly"I'll be d***ed if I'm not there to help"
The shuttle spead towards the surface and converted to it's submarine state.
"Cortana lock on to the cordinants of that last transmission and upload them to all the Pelicans. We got a base to save"

[Beta Aurigae VII]

"Leclerc to ship commanders of the Saturn mission, I would like a status update please."

[Bonaduce Alander]

"Sorry Sir, Captain Keyes is currently on his way too the underwater base here on Titan. This is Lieutenant Anderson. Apparently there are some kind of hostile life forms. I'm not quite sure what our situation is down there though. Radio contact cannot be established currently."

[Beta Aurigae VII]

"Do you believe that they may require assistance or will your forces have the situation under control if the situation escalates.

[Bonaduce Alander]

" I will be sure to report to you imediatly if the situation escalates out of our capacity to withstand sir."

[Serconea]

"We've just landed on Mimas and are analysing it's surface now"

[Henneth annun]

"Oh, thank God you are coming, we've already lost half One-Third of our forces!" Gen. Cospel yelled into the reciever as a pilliar was shot off and fell to the ground, smashing 5 of his troops.

[Bonaduce Alander]

"Captain, we have reached the base"The Pilot said
"Ok, Cortana, Relay these orders, I want tight groops of 20, 3 medics, 5 anti-tanks, 12 marines. All Pelicans stay in a tight groop for evac and defense. I want a special ops groop with me. This groop will be comprised of myself, 10 anti-tanks, 20 marines, and 5 medics. We will be the ones to lead the charge and get to Genral Cospel. I want the rest of the groops to go reinforce the other defense postitions around the based and to pick up any straglers. Cortana pin point Genral Cospels postion and up-load it to the visors of the special ops team." Captain Keyes shouted above the roar of the engines."Your not being payed to sit around men, lets go!"
Captains Keyes prepared himself and, with his team, jumped into the dark water.

[Henneth annun]

Looking into the depths, Cospel saw Troops! Thank God, Cospel thought to himself as the last remaning energy biengs fled, knowing they would lose. "Thank you for your assitianse. Now I would like to go home." Said Cospel as he sent the message to Captain Keyes and his crew.
