Church's arrival on Fyia

[Church]

Just outside the planet Fyia a singal longsword fighter drifted towards the atmospere. The fighter had been heavily damaged from the escape it had made a few hours ago from the clutches of the covanate on the arifact they called Halo. The fighter was piloted by one man, the rest of the crew that was lucky enough to make it on the ship had been killed after the covanate guns pumuled it until' it was finaly out of reach.

Church jumped awake as his ships sensors beeped and the black screen in front of him flashed on. White type appered on the dull, scrached screen and flashed a couple of times then stoped. Church looked around the ship. Next to him sat the body of his good friend Private O'Mally or Caboose as the rest of the squad called him. His body was bloody and there was plasma scoring from a covanate plasma rifle. Church looked at the screen in front of him and read;

[glow=White,2,300]Aproching planet Fyia. Request permission befor docking.[/glow]

Church scrached his head and put on a pair of old beat up communication head phones. Church examined the profile of the planet in his ships arcive. Apparently he was about to land in a city called Dathomir, the capital of Stiza. After looking at the scamatics of the planet Chruch cotacted the landing dock in the city. Church needed to land badly, he had almost run out of fuel completly and was badly wounded on his leg from an exploding plasma grenade.

[glow=Blue,2,300]"Come in com-tower. This is Private Jacob Keyes. I am out of fuel and need a place to make a landing. I have three others with me but they have died, and I myself have been seriously wounded. Requesting permission to land."[/glow]

Curch waited anxiously for an answer from the tower. As he waited he set is ship into a serconised orbit with the planet. Church leaned back in his seat and looked down at his scorched calf, he needed a medic and food. Just as he started to get confortable in his large cushioned seat, the screen blincked again and a message from the tower appeared, this time in a green type. It read;

[glow=Green,2,300]We read you Private. Your request has been excepted. Welcome to Fyia.[/glow]

Church nodded at the screen and punched in the cordance from the docking bay and let the ship pull into the planets atmosphere by itself as he once again leaned back in his seat trying to rest. It had been a long day and his leg began to pulsate with pain. Church limped to the med pack behind him and pulled out the gause and medical wrapp and wraped it around the gause he had placed on his wound and secured it with the clips attached to the end adn walked bacl to his seat.

It was only a minute later when his ship stoped in the docking bay. Church walked to the ship armory and grabbed out of it a M6D pistol, M90 shotgun, S2 AM sniper rifle, and four M9 HE-DP grenades. He straped the pistol into it's holster on his thigh and sliped the stap of the rifle over his head and arm so it was resting on his sholder. He took his grenades and slipped them into specially dessigned pouches just for the M9 grenade. Finally he limped out of the fighter shotgun in hand just as a crew of doctors slumped into the room with body bags and began to put the three bodies into them.

[glow=Blue,2,300]"Wait."[/glow]

Church mumbled as he gimped to the doctor who was about to place Caboose into a bag. He looked at his friend and grabbed the dog tags off of his thick neck and placed the around his own, hanging next to Church's tags. Church nodded and once again limped to the dock hatch of the ship and out into the docking bay. The bright lights from radiating from the large clean windows atung his eyes. Driffting in space with little the only light being that from the dull screen provided his eyes no chance to adjust to the bright light. Church Used his had as a sort of visserto shade his eyes from the sun and started on his trip to find a medic.

_____________________________________________

The walk to the Medical station was staining on his already wounded leg. Church arrived at the dest and waited for one of the personal at the counter to ask for assistance with his wounds. As church waited he looked aound the titanic building. It had been a long time sence he had been in a place like this, he was used to the small dark bay the the autmn. Church was pretty impressed. He was so taken by this docking bay that the vioce of the doctor startled him.

[glow=Blue,2,300]"Can I help you sir?"[/glow]

Church looked at th man and nodded.

[glow=Blue,2,300]"Uh ya I was caught in the explosion of a plasma grenade and i need some care."[/glow]

The doctor nodded and took him into one of the care center rooms down a long halway in the back of the Docking Bay. The doctor looked at Church's wound and took off the bandages. He then placed some brun cream on his leg an wrapped it up with new bandages and sent Church on his way.

[glow=Blue,2,300]"Be carful next time. You might not be so lucky."[/glow]

Church nodded and walked out on the Docking bay into the bright abyss that was the outside.

[Triunis]

Just pull the string, and . . . mmm. Gaea, I despise figuring these things out.

The baking hot sun shone down on a black figure. A closer observer would have seen that the figure was in fact a man. He was covered in black clothing, from his face to his toes. Even the top of his head was covered, and the only part of him that could be seen were his eyes. He was hobbling slowly towards Dathomir.

As he entered the town, he continued in his wobbly manner towards a large building marked "Medical Center."

Was that there before?

The man stumbled up to the building, and noticed a person coming out of it.

"Yyyyou . . . Heff oo thhhseen a taa . . . taa . . . tall . . . tall cree-choor . . . aroon hir? Eeth thhhsilber nnn . . . hath biiii winns . . . Thseen im?"

The man talked as though he had either a severe mental defect or had not spoken in years.

Why do I bother? It's not like they can even understand them enough to answer the question. Wonder how the Treachus and the humans do it.

[Church]

Church squinted as he walked out into the blistering sun. The brillant light danced on his eylashes and threw it into his diolated eyes scorching them and forcing him to close them. He put his hand up again to diflect the rays of light, it was then he heard a strange voice next to him asking him something that he could barly make out but he still could atleast understand. The man spoke as if he had been hit in the jaw with a steel bat.

[glow=Blue,2,300]"Have I seen a creature with wings, thats what you are trying to say right? Uh sorry man can't help you i just got here myself from a ship they called the pillar of autmn, in a different part of space...uhh who am i kidding you can't have heard of the ship...it was too far from here."[/glow]

Church looked at the man and thought for a second. This guy was a little bit smaller then him, and apparently had a speech inpediment. The was cosumed in black, which probly attracked much heat from the titanic sun. He didn't really have nothing better to do and this guy seemed like he could use some help looking for his friend, so being the man he was Church desided to offer his help. Church looked up and down the bright street then back the the man.

[glow=Blue,2,300]"Hey uh you need help looking for this guy cus i could help you. Im pretty good at finding people, if you need my help that is."[/glow]

Church once again looked at his surroundings, and then noticed, he didn't even know were in space he was, all he knew was the name of the planet, so how was he gonna find anyone. He began to have second thoughts about offering the man help, but he already had and wasn't going to go back on his word. He hated it when people did that and he would never do it himself not matter if he didn't know were he was.

[Triunis]

"Nnnoo . . . No trrbbuh. No truh . . . buh. Thenn kyuu . . . Hyeer, tak . . . teak . . . take ith."

The man lurched forward slightly, and held out a leather pouch to the man. The lurch continued, and he tripped. The bag slipped from his hand, smashing open and spraying gold coins everywhere. He looked up at the man with strangely pale eyes.

"Thenn kyuu fir yrr elb . . ."

Waste of time and energy. Snip.

The man's eyes suddenly widened, and he collapsed to the ground. As he did so, his hood came off of his face, revealing it fully.

The face was scorched black by the heat of the sun, and most of the skin had rotted from the battered cheek bones. Chip marks could be seen where scavengers and mongrel dogs had eaten from his corpse, and insects crawled in and out of the holes on his face. The man appeared to have been dead for weeks, at least.

*****************

Keltethyonex looked down in disgust at the mangled corpse lying on the ground from his vantage point on top of the building, his tentacles swinging in the breeze.

I can't ever get them right. Killing things is easy enough, but I need to practice on speech unless I want that happening every time. Now, do I eliminate him or not . . .

The floating jellyfish swung his enormous gun towards the man, and tried to decide what to do. The glinting steel of the weapon betrayed no opinion either for or against the man's destruction.

I'll see what he does . . .

[Church]

Church looked at the mans face. ITt was as if a covanate had stuck a plasma grenade to it and let it explode. He didn't care much though he had seen people like this before, but they were dead, so in a way this was kinda fimilar to him. Church nelt down and began to help pick up the coins and set them back into the pouch the man had just given him. He didn't really like getting things for just doing what was ethically right, but hey he needed the money, in this forign place. Church stood up then extended his hand to help the man up. Church could tell that the man did not want him to see his face, he could tell by the man's expression.

[glow=Red,2,300]Hell if somethin like that happened th me i wouldn't want noone to see it either.[/glow]

[glow=Blue,2,300]"Don't wory man, I've seen worse. IN the war i was in guys would get hit in the face with plasma grenades and other plasma weapons...[/glow]

WHat was he thinking this man didn't want to know about how other people had this happen to then too, probably not the same way it happened to this man but. Church looked down feeling imbarrased, then back up t the man,

[glow=Blue,2,300]"Hey i uh nevere got you name? I'm...Church."[/glow]

Church was going to give the man his real name but dessided against it for what ever reason, but he disided to go by Church, the name given to him by his squad, instead of Jacob Keyes.

[Triunis]

Keltethyonex's thinner, toxic tentacles began quivering with irritation.

He still thinks that thing is alive! Even after it tripped and showed its skull! Things that have been left out in the desert for a week usually are not . . . well, a pity I cut the string.

He looked dejectedly at the limp string in one of his tentacles, swaying slowly in the breeze. Looking back down at the corpse, which had not moved since it had lost his influence, he wondered what would happen next.

[Kruck]

Kruck strolled down the street, or lack of one. It was basically just a dirt road going through the middle of the desert town with little roads branching off to various shops or homes. In his mouth, his tongue clung to the roof of his mouth: he hadn't had any water for a while.

This made him not too aware of his surroundings which was probably the reason he tripped over the man who for some reason was laying down in the middle of a side road. "Excuse me sir-" Words failed him as he stared at the rotting skull looking back at him.

"What the ---?"

A trickle of sweat dripped down his face and dropped on the dusty ground. This was a combination of the immense heat and his sudden nervousness. He looked around with wide eyes and saw a man standing right near him. He asked this man in a whisper: "Wh-Who is this?"

[FlamingMoogles]

(( alright church...this is a bit late but i got a question for you. ON your first post up there...you said that your character escaped from the clutches of the covenant on the artifact they called halo. i have a few points to make to clarify what is happening.
1. A covenant is a promise. Dunno if you are aware of that...did you mean something else.
2. how can an artifact have a clutch...or a grasp...
No one is angry or anything so dont take this wrong. Im just trying to figure out what you are talking about! Thanks for listening! ^.^ ))

[Triunis]

((Ever played Halo, Matt? The Covenant are a species of aliens. The artifact he's refering to is Halo, the evil dread machine in Halo. It's all nasty and such. He escaped from both Halo and the Covenant's clutches. I think. His character is taken from the game.))

Keltethyonex suddenly noted a new presence. Looking down, he watched a man approach the corpse and begin conversing with Keltethyonex's other possible target.

Hmm. Also human. I wonder what this person is up to . . .

The newcomer examined the corpse, then spoke to the first man. Keltethyonex aimed his enormous gun at both, and then wondered if the newcomer new anything about his target.

Hell. Do I have to get another corpse? Perhaps I should just go talk to them . . . well, I shall see what happens.

[Church]

((Hey you ever plaied Halo? well that is were the covenant and halo are from...thus the name halo...and Halo was like a giant super weapon created to bread the flood which were ment to destroy mankind...so anywho...im gonna post now...sorry...and Church is from red vs blue, at www.redvsblue.com check it out))

Church looked at the new guy who had just stumbled in. This guy was the about the same hight as him but was, like the fist man, shrouded in black, but this guy looked dreadfully thursty. Church once again trying to help those in need of anything, so he pulled out his canteen, which he had filled inside and offered it to the man.

[glow=Blue,2,300]"I dunno. He hasn't given me his name yet. Oh, I'm Church. and you would be? And you too you still havn't told me your name.[/glow]

Church said looking from person to person. Church still had his hand out for the man, who was now laying on the ground, to grab and use as assistance to get up on his feet.

((thats all i got...sorry))

[Triunis]

I think I have had enough of the conversation.

Keltethyonex aimed his gun carefully, and pulled the trigger using the electromagnetic current that all Tlyunavas have.

-BLAM!-

An explosive bullet slammed through the air and into the corpse, piercing the right eye, just as Keltethyonex had planned.

-KABOOM!-

The bullet, as is the nature of explosive bullets, exploded, sending fragments of bone and hardened skin into the air. All the soft meat of the brain had long been eaten by insects, but shards of the skull and spinal column flew through the air.

Keltethyonex called to the two beings, his voice echoing in their minds rather than their ears.

«As much as I enjoy getting the dead to do my bidding, it seems I must speak with the pair of you myself.»

He dropped from the building - easily twenty of thirty feet - and caught himself in the air before he hit, his tentacles scraping the ground before he pulled them up to a ready position.

«I now ask you both: Have either of you seen a tall, silver creature with wings? It is imperative that I find him, and at the earliest possibility.»

[Church]

Church looked down at the man and a small smal formed on his face, but this smile was soon to fade as Church's new found companion's head exploded sending peices of bone at Church. Small clumps of skin stuck to his BDU. Church spum around at the same instant pulling out his M6D pistol and aimed it at the man who had dropped from the top of the building just behind Church and the third man. He cocked the pistol gun unwavering. Church was enraged, this new freak looking thing had just shot the only person in this intire planet he knew thus far. Church was about to pull the trigger when he heard a voice inside his head. Church couldn't belive it, this thing was talking to him tellipathicly.

[glow=Blue,2,300]"Wh-why did you do that. What the helll did he ever do to you."[/glow]

Church wanted to fill this man with high-explosive 12.7mm semi armor-peircing rounds. Church aimed at the thing's chest ready to pull the trigger at any moment.

[Triunis]

The Tlyunava raised two rear tentacles in confusion. What was the issue here?

«I found that corpse in the desert about a week ago. I used . . . certain means to animate it temporarily to serve my purposes. When I had gathered all the information I thought I could, I disposed of this cadaver to ensure that left-over magic did not cause it to walk around and cause . . . collateral damage.»

He looked at the gun, and sighed internally.

«Don't even bother, I'm already having a very unpleasent day.»

[Kruck]

"Tall silver and wings." Kruck repeated softly to himself. "Um..." Kruck eyed the creature and was about to ask him why he wanted to find this person with wings but thought better of it.

"If the one you are talking about is named Alexander, then yes. But not recently. I saw him in Purelgetha about two, three months ago. He is a angel, no?"
Kruck paused and looked at the gun his companion of sorts had pulled out. Fool. Doesn't he know never to do that? He's lucky he's not dead now!

Pulling his sunglasses on to sheild his eyes from the burning sun, Kruck eyed the corpse. He made that thing talk and move? Pretty nice.
Kruck thought fascinated. He looked back at the newly arrived creature. "So anyways, I haven't seen him for a while. But guess what. I'm pretty bored lately, so do you mind if I help you look for this guy?"

[Church]

Church put his gun down and chuckled to himself. He had offered to help a dead corpse find a man he knew nothing about, and now in a way he was inclide to help this thing, consittering in a way he was the one asking Church to help.

[glow=Blue,2,300]"I guess, in a way, I already told you I would help. So if you still want my help, I will...and sorry bouts the whole gun insident. I uh was kinda havin one of those days. My uh, best friend got killed earlier and the rest of my squad, so i am kinda, ya know messed up right now. Don't usually do that...sorry[/glow]

Church looked at the ground, he felt like an asshole. He had pulled a gun on a perfect stranger with out even letting him give an explination of why he had blown this corpse to bits. He still didn't like the thought of using a person, esspecally a dead one to do your bidding, but hey if you have to why the hell not. CHurch didn't wanna do it but that didn't meen other people couldn't do it.
