Earth, somewhere around 2010...
Near the dark side of the moon.


An anomaly appeared around the moon as a wave of energy sprung from it, followed by several craft, many of which were severely damaged. "We're out of jump, looks like we lost em" said a voice on the bridge as everyone got their bearings, the ship still being rocked by explosions along it's hull. "Where are we Alueza?"

"This planet is not on our star maps, and has a livable atmosphere from what I can tell, but then again, that is just from a passing glance at the blue atmosphere" said the AI of the ship, appearing on a stand next to the captain's chair, her arms crossed over her chest. "I guess this is where we go in and see if we can find a parking spot"

"Agreed" said Tod as he pressed keys on his chair, the image of the ship coming up on the screen and showing several damaged sections, even one of the engines was gone. "How many confirmed missing or dead"

"so far we have 17 dead, 156 injured, but that number is gonna sky rocket if we don't land and make repairs" said Alueza, the ship's AI "If we can slow down enough, the impact won't kill any more people, but if we stay up here, our reactor will space us and-"

"There goes the neighborhood, I know, but we got to make sure the atmosphere won't kill us first!"

"Sir! We can see a space station from here, looks old Earthen!" said Jennifer, bringing up the image of the ISS on the screen. "They haven't noticed us, and the design has no weapons from what I can tell, so maybe it's safe for us to land?"

"Again, if the atmosphere is livable that is" Tod sighed and rubbed his eyes. "Launch a probe, and try to be discreet about it, I don't want whoever owns that station there to freak the fuck out on us"

Jennifer nodded and looked over at her other crew mate, giving a nod before preparing a probe to be launched, a small shock being felt from the ship as the probe was shot out and toward the planet, hitting mach 100 before slamming through the atmosphere and into the ground below, sending back readings of the atmosphere, it was livable... actually perfect for life to thrive in.

"It's safe captain" Jennifer looked back at Tod as he thought about his next move, she could see it in his eyes.

Tod stood up from his chair and connected his headset to the ships PA system. "Attention all crew members, this is your captain speaking, prepare for atmospheric entry, and possible crash landing, that is all" he then looked at Jacob and gave a smile toward him. "Full speed ahead, enter the atmosphere then begin to slow us down" he sat back down and sighed, he had hoped this trip would of gone better. The ambush they were in certainly didn't look good until they jumped.

The massive ship began to creep out from behind the moon with it's escorts, entering the lighter side and being noticed by the ISS as it started toward the planet.

"Houston we have an unidentified object heading toward Earth, several smaller objects following after it. We are measuring the object to be 2.3 Kilometers in length, and moving fast toward Mu" said the voice of one of the cosmonauts onboard the ISS.

"Sir we've been noticed" Jennifer said as she heard the voice, a chill going down her back as she looked back at him.

"Ignore it, we have enough problems"

The ship entered the atmosphere belly first and began to deploy everything it had to slow it's approach, appearing as a massive streak of fire over north america before the ship came to rest against a coastal mountain, surrounded by a dense jungle, no signs of life anywhere to be seen.

"My aching head..." muttered Jen as she recovered from the crash landing, the ship itself being tilted at an angle against the mountain. "Well... we made it, now lets see if we get any visitors..."

"Right... send out a distress signal on all channels, Anglic*, Germanic*, Yamato* and Arabi*" he groaned and stood up, sliding backward into the supporting wall before the ship lifted itself up off the ground with anti-gravity generators and evened itself out so no one would be sliding backward.

The ship itself floated up into the air a few feet before coming to rest on it's belly, smoke bellowing from it's engines as they burned, coolant being seen leaking from the bottom of the ship as it repositioned itself, soon setting down on it's belly at the base of the nameless mountain.
-----
"May Day May Day, this is the Aluez, we have crash landed on your world and are in need of assistance, if anyone hears this message, please respond, we mean you no harm" said Alueza's voice on all channels within range, so someone was bound to hear them.

(OOC:
Anglic = English
Germanic = German
Yamato = Japanese
Arabi = Arabic

And this is my first time opening an RP like this on a forum I have no idea how it will turn out... so be gentle? Don't be too evil?)

Mikkaddo

Mikkaddo was thrown out of his path to the side when a giant machine  pushed past him, going toward the ground on Mu. It'd recently been allowed for the government to survey it, see if it held anything hostile. There were rumors of other nations having already colonized it, or that it was holding hostile creatures. He heard the message, it was in perfect english, something he wasn't prepared for.

When he finally evened out he commed his commander. "HQ this is M2K I have a . . . I don't really know what I have sir. Over." The comm came to life to his hear. "This is General Malak, we know there is a U.F.O. in your vicinity Mikkaddo, has it made contact? Over." Mikkaddo shook his head letting out a long breath. "Uh . . . yeah, yeah it did . . . it says S.O.S. and by the looks of the thing it's going down hard sir. I need orders. Over." Malak was watching the screens from a local satellite over the Island of Mu. The ship was heavily damaged by their vision, and it looked like it managed to land successfully. He was staring at the screen, watching the ship. Time stopped to him, he was looking at it, trying to find something . . . was it from the Russians . . . the French? it didn't look like it. It couldn't be Cuban, what the hell was it. One of officers near him said "sir . . . SIR, he needs orders . . ." Malak shook himself out of it, and came back.

"Mikkaddo, this is General Malak again, make contact. I repeat make contact. If they are hostile, they are obviously hurt and you are our black ops field agent. Use the new Toys we gave you. But do not intiate hostility. Repeat, do NOT intitate hostility."

Mikkaddo nodded to himself. "I understand sir. M2K out." He did a quick turn to fly over the huge ship, and did a fly over of it, seeing if there was any obvious markings of a nation or group, nothing. He looked for the signs of it being dead, nothing again. He decided to send a message then. "Unidentified Craft . . . this is Lt. Malakai Mikkaddo of the American Air Force, state your name and nation. Over."
Oops all salt!

Jen

"Sir we have contact, I repeat, contact!!" shouted Jacob as he looked back at Tod, waiting for some sort of signal to return the message.

"I will handle this" said Tod as he stood up from his seat, looking up at the craft as he spoke into his headset, his accent a mixture of arabic and american southern. "This is Captain Tod Vlodovic of the Aluez, we come in peace, we are from a nation known as Weihr on another world as unbelievable as it sounds" he sighed and hoped that would get the person off their case and get some help for them.

The ship was in shambles, and bore no markings except for the number 99 on the side of it, which was written in Baronh, and it's territary turrets began to follow the craft as it made a pass over the ship.

Several fighter craft were making scans of the area, looking for any signs of life other than the fighter from the USAF. "Command this is red thirteen, we have confirmation that there is life in the forest below... several wolf like creatures are heading for the ship, it's advised that you should be airborne"

"Right, thanks thirteen," he looked at Jen just as the ship strained to try and lift off the ground again, before several explosions tore through the infrastructure of the ship, the lifts having failed. "Crap, all hands man your stations, we could have unexpected company heading this way!"

Mikkaddo

Mikkaddo commed command. "They they are the ship, Aluez from a nation called were . . . or something. They're alien Sir. Not of this world." He paused a moment. "They come in peace reportedly. What are my orders sir?" Malak responded after a moment. "The Satelite is showing a Lupus tribe in the area headed toward the craft. Intercept them, we can't have these people thinking that we mean harm. Over." Mikkaddo responded and then landed near the ship itself. Turning the engine off but keeping the auto systems armed, and hit the ground with a pair of small pistols in his hands, spinning them and turned toward the clearing.

He ran toward it as the first warrior of the Lupus Tribe came out. And he put the pistols away seeing who it was. The American Government had made a deal with the Lupus tribe in particular, the Tribe did not interfere with America or it's efforts to scan or colonize Mu and were in exchange given tech and other supplies. The leader of the tribe was it's greatest warrior, and as such he was armed with a white spear. The warrior saw Mikkaddo and the two embraced and he said. "Mikk! who is this? your Master? they are not welcome here . . . tell them to go . . . they are destroying Mu!." He pointed to the crater under the ship and the fires starting near it's explosions. Mikkaddo backed up, saying.

"Hold on man, this isn't my people's ship, it's someone else." The warrior lifted his spear and pointed it to the ship. "They are your enemy . . .?" Mikkaddo waved at him again. "No, they said they come in peace." The warrior was not smiling though. "They crash into our land . . . they burn our forest, and you say peace . . . if you lie, I will kill you Mikkaddo, I am a warrior not a Scholar . . . but I am no child either." Mikkaddo was backing up slowly. "Give me a day, one day . . . they say they mean no harm, so give me ONE day and if they are hostile I'll help you . . . ok?" The warrior let out a long breath silently, and looked at the ship, then turned to his men and yelled something in their own language, the men disapearing into the trees, rifles and blow guns sticking out of the green of the leaves.

The warrior turned to Mikkaddo and said. "This is our deal, it is struck . . . one day, if you cannot prove their peace to me, I WILL strike." He pulled out a long bone dagger and put his other hand at it's double blade, Mikkaddo matching him, and pulled out the blade against their palms. "We are agreed . . . this blood pact is in place, betray me, and your life is forfeit as much as theirs." Mikkaddo  nodded and went back to his plane, sending a message to the ship. "This is Mikkaddo of the USAF I contacted you before, I've spoken to the locals and they promise not to attack if you really mean no harm . . . I am requesting entry . . . I also mean no harm." He let go of the comm for a moment, it was up to them now. He looked down at the wound on his hand, this was going to be bad if they didn't comply, how bad their ship looked it probably couldn't last too long, and if there was anything the Lupus tribe knew how to do, it was tear things apart.
Oops all salt!

Jen

Tod looked down at the commotion at the base of his ship, the gunners also looking down before a voice came over the external speakers. "If your intentions are to speak with me in person, then come to the front of the ship" he then stood up and stepped back into his gear, letting it close in around him and encase his body in armor just encase they were going to try something stupid.

"Sir, let me go with you" said a young marine by the name of Liska, stepping into his view with her gear already on "Safety in numbers"

Tod nodded and smiled softly at Liska, patting her on the shoulder before making his way into the armory. "You can come, just keep quiet and don't over react" he lifted a battle rifle from it's holster as he checked the clip, smiling as he seen it was loaded. "If they shoot first, wipe everything out for the next three miles" he said over his comms to the gunners and to liska, handing her one of the rifles before making his way to the lift, waiting on her to come along before pressing the down button.

Liska stepped onto the lift and smiled behind her facial armor, checking her rifle before seeing the lift counter stop at the hangar bay, a ramp being extended down to the ground as the two walked forward and down the ramp.

Mikkaddo

Mikkaddo heard the message loud and clear and got out of his plane, putting on his battle armor, full black with a long coat over it. He moved to what he saw moving down, hoping it was the ramp, and hoping they weren't intending to kill him too make some kind of message.

When the ramp went down, at the other end of it was Mikkaddo, his arms up, hands on his head, a selection of weapons on the ground in front of him, 3 rifles, a set of grenades, two pistols and a large sword, as well as some other tech that went with it. When the ramp came down all the way he kept his eyes closed, silently waiting to hear the blast of a rifle or some kind of explosion. But he heard none of it, and couldn't bear to look. However when the ramp stopped making noise he said loud and clear to what he hoped was the man that spoke to him before. "I am Lt. Malakai Mikkaddo of the USAF I come in peace, in front of me are my weapons and auxiliary tech, I am unarmed."

That was it, it was up to them now what happened next. If they really were intending to be peaceful, this was the time for them to prove it. If not . . . well . . . he was unarmed.
Oops all salt!

Jen

Liska raised her rifle at the sight of the lieutenant, only to lower it a moment later when Tod raised his hand. "Settle down girl..." he then extended his armored hand out to him, red eyes glowing. "I am Captain Vlodovic, pleasure to meet you Malakai"

Liska knelt down and looked at the weapons in front of him, headtilting some as they looked almost like their weapons, except they weren't white. "So why did you bring weapons along?" she asked, looking up at him with those red eyes, seeming to stare right through him as she reached for one of the rifles, only to stop when she got tapped on the head.

Mikkaddo

Mikkaddo opened his eyes, stepping back first at the sight of the armor with glowing red eyes. Then he realized he was hearing a natural voice that was being recorded by a mic and then run through a speaker. They weren't robots, they were people in armor. He carefully stepped forward taking the armored hand and said. "Please, call me Mikkaddo, it's what everyone else calls me." He looked at the other one when she asked about his weapons. "Because this island is a lot bigger than it seems . . . and there's some pretty nasty things in those jungles . . ."

He looked behind him, he couldn't see him, but he knew the warrior was there, somewhere. Watching. Then Mikkaddo turned back to them and said. "I think it might be better to talk in your ship unless it's going to . . . well . . . explode . . . but either way, I'd like to collect my weapons, call it suspicious but I prefer to stay armed . . . just in case. I don't mean to sound this way but I don't honestly know that I can trust you." He sighed wondering what would happen next. They were the ones in heavy armor, so it's not like he'd likely survive if they said no and he went for his weapons, but he couldn't stand the thought of going into their ship, their turn . . . without his weapons.
Oops all salt!

Jen

They nodded before turning away and walking back up the ramp. "Please come aboard, we welcome you to our ship" said Tod as he waited at the top of the ramp for him, his HUD changing and scanning the treeline for faces, finding a few poking out of the underbrush. "I see the locals aren't too friendly..." he mutters before meeping when a cable landed on him, covering his armor in glowing coolant. "Son of a hellhound..." he steps out from under the cable before taking a breath through the ventilation system.

Liska however, was snickering over by the lift, the coolant wouldn't hurt anyone, but it did smell and taste foulsome. "Hey foxy, maybe we should show him the mech first!" she said before calling the lift, looking up at the 30 foot tall machine that was docked on a lift of it's own. The name REX seen printed on it's side.

"So tell me, will you be able to help us Mikkaddo?" asked Tod as he walked toward the lift, looking over his armored shoulder at him

Mikkaddo

Mikkaddo rearmed himself with all his weapons and tech, moving behind them and grabbing his muzzle when the coolant leaked. "Fucking hell that smells rank! what the hell is that anyway?" and after the smell subsided a small bit he looked to where the other seemed to be talking from and saw the huge mech. "Good lord . . . I've not seen something like that since the experimental wharehouse back at Area 51 . . . is that thing piloted or is it remotely controlled?" He knew he shouldn't have said it as soon as it came out of his mouth, but the way he figured, apparently what his own people were working on was nothing, the mech he saw at Area 51 had only been a remotely controlled battle bot about the size of a man. This thing was something else entirely, huge. He was fascinated by the whole place. Area 51 had ships, experimental space flight ships, but this . . . this was so much more.

"Um . . . help you with what? repairing the ship? honestly all I could offer is is my plane for scrap . . . but even that would likely only cover a few holes in the hull, what you need is a full team . . . I mean I could radio back to HQ but . . . I mean . . . look this shit is WAY above my pay grade, what if . . . like . . . what if I set up a comm to my commanding officer and let you and him talk this out then? I can't honestly do shit. Though, by tomorrow I need to be back out there to let the locals know you don't intend to blow them up . . . you . . . don't intend to blow us up do you?" A bit corny, but this was all as he said above his paygrade.
Oops all salt!

Jen

"We have injured and are in need of medical supplies, and no, we won't blow up anyone without provacation..." said Tod as he turned his head to look at the wolf, a scan going over him to detect all the things on him. "And to answer your question, that was coolant... stinks don't it?"

the clamps holding a pelican released and the ship dropped from the dock, landing with a loud boom as a tool chest was crushed under the craft.

"Anyone hurt down there?" shouts one of the workers, a golden furred vulpine in a silver and black jumpsuit.

"No larry, we're fine" said Liska as she looked at the down pelican, seeing someone climbing out of the back of it. "Enjoy your ride tomas?" she snickered and walked over to the craft as she helped him out, carrying the injured hybrid over to a wall, setting him down gently and beginning to treat his wounds.

Mikkaddo

Mikkaddo head the pelican hit the ground before he saw the ship, and jumped about a foot in the air with shock when it crushed the tool box. He paid careful attention to the people he saw. By his eyes even just from the few he could see in this first area of the ship he imagined it must have had a full crew. Likely military, and they all knew very well what they were doing. He didn't know if he could trust them yet, but he did know if they intended to not let him out alive, he wouldn't have much choice in the matter. That much was certain. They needed medical supplies too, that might be hard without the General's help, the locals had some supplies, mostly what they got from the American military, but even that was sparse.

"I can't guarantee anything as I don't know how my Commanding Officers will react to all this, but I can set up a direct comm since your ship could com my plane back there. I'd be more than willing to set up the line of communication to them, but unfortunately it's out of my hands after that point." This ship was amazing. It looked just like something out of a sci-fi novel he'd read a few years back. He was still curious if they were military or not, but it didn't seem all that vague, the evidence pointing toward them being military was outweighing everything else. But the ship looked too big for just patrols . . . this was either a battle cruiser, or some kind of colony maybe.
Oops all salt!

Jen

"A direct line to your superiors would certainly be a blessing on our part" said Liska as she finished treating the wounds of the crew member she saved from the pelican. Meeping out when the mech came alive and began to stomp it's way toward the exit. "Who's piloting that?!" seeing it stop in front of the wolf from America, a red laser being aimed down at the wolf.

"Who let the Amerikanzi onboard?!" asked a warped metallic voice from the REX, obviously from the tone of voice it was an Artificial Intelligence piloting it. "If he is here to order us around like they tried to do in the Reunification Wars, then--" a whirr was heard from the mech, the buzz of electricity being heard as well as the mech seemed to prepare a weapon to fire at the wolf.

"Stand down Alueza he's a friend" said Tod as he stared up at the mech, knowing which weapon it was preparing to fire. "Uhh... don't mind her, she doesn't like americans from the last war, I'm sure it has nothing to do with your country"

Mikkaddo

Mikkaddo nodded to Liska. "Yeah, I'm sure they'd appreciate a direct line to you as well, it'll certainly help clear up a lot of . . ." he stopped cold in his place, staring up at the huge mech. It had looked so much smaller than that earlier when it was somewhere else and not aiming a weapon at him. He looked to Liska. "Amerikanzi . . . ? what the hell is an Amerikanzi . . . I'm from Louisiana . . . what's a Reunification war?" he was so confused, and he knew something was wrong with this picture. It didn't seem possible. Another nation on another planet that happened to have the same name as his nation, who apparently weren't friends with these people.

He stood as still as he could, he knew this mech probably could scan him, and see that he was heavily armed, and likely assumed he was an enemy because of that. He held his hands upward, palms toward the mech, and stayed very silent. He learned very early on, if there were weapons trained on you, you didn't move, you didn't speak, and if you did move, it was to show your palms and then you stopped moving after that. It made it clear you were not a threat.

I twas up to them now though, whatever was going to happen next was them, and he was noticing that becoming kind of a pattern recently . . . the loss of controll over his destiny.
Oops all salt!

"Ever hear of multiple earths theory?" said Liska as she walked over to his side, waving at the railgun and seeing it lower and point directly at them. "Well, we blew one up, destroyed the entire population on three continents and made sure they were punished for their crimes, which was declaring war on us in the first place..." she sighed and took off her helmet, showing the young german shepherd girl underneath. "You must know what it's like to have war declared on you... being an american and all"

"Sorry about before, I am the ship's Artificial Intelligence, and can control the vehicles in this hangar, sometimes more than one." said the REX before the buzzing stopped, she did scan him and seen the weapons and technology, though it could be solved with one smash of her metallic 40 ton foot. "The name is Alueza, as I am sure you have guessed." she appeared before him in a projection, a blue furred fennec smiling to him.

"So now that you know a bit about our history, I must ask... are you scared?" asked Liska with a kind smile, one that would never compliment a killer that their history made them out to be, but one of a young girl that would be found in a suburbia of america, or even in europe's many countries. "Because... I know with one call, you can have us destroyed, and to be honest..." she brushed her auburn hair out of her eyes, showing a vertical scar over her left eye, and the white pupil of it. "I find that terrifying!"

"Down girl..." muttered Tod before grinning at them when he took off his helmet as well, showing long white hair and red eyes on the fennec, as well as longer canines if the wolf was to look close enough. "I will be on the bridge if you are done scaring our guest Alueza" he stepped onto the lift and went up, disappearing into the armor plating of the hangar on the way up.
