Who goes there?

[After weeks of relative silence, our intrepid passengers finally travel within visual range of a blue planet. Marsiva's slow-and-steady course makes it clear that this is the Drift Fleet's next destination--but just as your ships come within scanning range and your computers begin to gather data, a fleet of quick little watchdog ships zip out of the planet's atmosphere, heading straight for you!

They do not swoop in for an attack, but hold their positions between you and the planet. They look close enough to cause some trouble, and any working Communications Officer can tell you that they have weapons locked on the Fleet in warning.

The tell-tale sound of an incoming hailing frequency chimes over your ship's alert system. Someone would like you to pick up the phone. Thanks to their augment, all passengers instinctively know that they'll be looking for the Captain or the Communications Officer of the ship--but no one says someone else can't pick it up first.

On the bridge, the hailing frequency can be viewed on screen, along with the attached subject: "Identify yourselves." The notification chime goes off every seven seconds. These ships don't look like they're going anywhere, but they don't want to be kept waiting, either.

What do you do? Will you accept the frequency?]



ooc → see the July Star System post for details about this event! there is no real rush in this post (we won't even be around to begin responding to it until Sunday afternoon), so take your time, feel free to tag each other in this post (maybe try to get your Comms officers off their asses), and there is no time too late to tag into this post. the element of urgency is all IC, and there is no OOC pressure at all.

Anyone pulls this again they are going in a bag. Or at least getting locked in their room.

[She sniffles, wiping away threatening tears. Allen's apology helps considerably, and she doesn't push away his hand. The danger hasn't passed, he could still be taken in, but at least he recognizes what he did was Not a Good Thing.]

Thank you, Allen. But Beverly is right, if you get taken... maybe we should have a plan, just in case.

[ He stares a moment at Toph because seriously, where is she getting this whole eating people fixation? What's with that? ]

I'm not going in a bag!

[GOSH HAWKE. But yeah, Beverly and Kairi have a point. He bites his lip a little, thinking]

Well, if I can't get out myself, Timcanpy should be able to track my location no matter where I am. After that, I'm sure between Toph, Aang and the rest of you- breaking me out should be do-able. [Since seriously guys, there's the universe's best metalbender- right there. He believes in your law breaking abilities]

Good. Knowing where you are being held will be the most important thing.

[A pause as she looks thoughtful.]

In my experience, most holding cells now have some sort of force field around them as well. If that's the case here, leave that part to me.

[A smile tugs at the corners of her mouth.]

It wouldn't be the first time I've had to break through one.

How about we don't let him go to them at all? I'd rather look bad for backing out of a promise than risk losing Allen on maybes and possiblies. They might be spitting mad about it, but if we need to, we can just make a run for it. The shields are good and I'm pretty certain we can outrun them.
