^ hehe almost got it, but not quite


They were going to “smoke him out”. There was no way out. Trent felt as his lungs starving for oxygen and his vision start to swim. He was running out of time…fast. The Outcasts closed in, shooting the ship with EMP cannons, not allowing the shields to recharge. Trent slumped unconscious in his seat as the Outcasts boarded the craft.


***********2 hours later**********

“Where am I?” Trent asked dazed.
“Mr. Trent… looks like you are lucky that we found you before you got you “shipment”. Looks like you aren’t even a licensed pilot.” said a voice somewhere above his head.
“Where’s my ship? Where am I?” Trent stirred.
Mr. Trent, you are on a Corsair base. My name is Jacques Cordova; we found your ship surrounded by Outcasts so we blasted them out of the sky. Unfortunately they managed to snatch the weapons and fled. We tried to catch them but they were too fast. After all our Titans are built for ruggedness not speed. But you must be tired so I will let you rest. I’ll be back for you in a couple of hours.”
Trent collapsed in his bed, exhausted. He couldn’t get any sleep, his oxygen-starved brain throbbed, his eyes and his lungs burned, but he was alive. His mouth was dry, he needed a drink. Trent got up from the bed, still confused as to where EXACTLY he was, what EXACTLY he was doing here. Trent came by a door and expected it to slide into its pocket like doors back at home on Leeds. The door however did not; Trent had to push it open. It didn’t take long for Trent to find what he wanted. He found the bathroom and got his tap water. Trent realized fairly quickly that the Corsairs concentrated on fighting and spend most of their time in ships. Their planet life was kept to a minimum and you could tell. Everything had that old, rusty feeling, like it hasn’t been cared for in a long time. Everything was dusty and generally colored either brown or was left uncolored. Trent took a couple of sips of the water. It wasn’t bad, it had a metallic taste to it, but it was better then water on Leeds. He went back to bed.

“Trent wake up… Trent? Mr. Trent Cordova wants to see you I the mission room. Food will be served. There is a change of clothes by your bed.” Said an orderly, before Trent could read his nametag his turned around and left the room.

Thanks for partly using my idea. Next, The Liberty Navy could try and destroy this corsair base. Which base is it by the way?

Post Fri Jul 30, 2004 5:04 am

trent doesnt know what base it is. liberty doesnt know that corsairs took trent. the dont know that the Outcasts have. now liberty is gonna be hunting for trent while trent and the corsairs are going to be hunting for the guns

Post Fri Jul 30, 2004 5:05 am

Post Fri Jul 30, 2004 5:36 am

Surely the Corsairs have angelitos already? why are they so frantic about getting a couple more?

“Trent wake up… Trent? Mr. Trent Cordova wants to see you I the mission room. Food will be served. There is a change of clothes by your bed.” Said an orderly, before Trent could read his nametag his turned around and left the room.
Trent woke up and got dressed. It was a Corsair flight suit and it fight comfortably. Trent walked through the door. The orderly was waiting for him on the other side. He had a gun at hip and he placed a hand on it when he saw Trent.
“Sir, if you’d please follow me,” he said.
Without waiting for a reply, he turned around and walked down the corridor. They got to the end and the orderly asked Trent to stay back. He went down along the hallway and entered a code that Trent couldn’t see. This time the door slid open into a pocket, the guard motioned for Trent to follow him. They walked for a quite some time, going through a maze of doors, halls, and numerous code stations until they got to a door and the orderly stopped. Trent did too. The orderly went through the door. He said something that Trent couldn’t make out. After a couple of minutes the guard came out, this time he had the gun in his hand, he motioned Trent to go ahead of him through the door. Trent felt the gun at his back although it wasn’t pushed against his back.
“Trent! How are you feeling?” asked a man at the table, Trent quickly saw that it was Jacques Cordova.
“I’m fine thank you.”
“Trent please have a seat,” Cordova motioned at a chair.
The room was fairly large with a large round table with four chairs around it. There were three men sitting, one of them was Jacques, the other two Trent hasn’t met. The two other men were old and were very flashy uniforms. Trent sat in the chair that was given to him. Cordova nodded at the guard and the man stood at the door, gun ready.
“I do not believe you have met with Mr. Edison Trent, he is a freelancer. Mr. Trent this is,” Cordova pointed at a man to his right, he was wearing a very neatly groomed uniform and was very old, he had only one eye,” Evan Gomez he is a senior advisor, and this is,” he motioned at the man to his left, this was a young lad, dressed in a flight suit with a lot of medals, “Raquel Penza, he is Gamma Wing commander, the most elite fighters of the Corsairs.”
“Hi, but I have one question. Why am I here?”
“We’ll get to that Mr. Trent, but for now please stay and listen to this briefing.”
“Ok, you have my attention.”
Cordova turned to the two men and started talking.
“A couple of years ago we found two weapons hidden by some unknown jump hole. It gave out weird readings so we didn’t go in. Anyway, back to the topic. These weapons are very high powered, high destruction weapons, only one problem. They were not compatible with our technology, so we shipped them out to Leon base were they had the best technicians in the whole Sirius sector. In a couple of months the techies gave us the word that the weapon was now compatible with our fighters. They loaded them up in a Titan and send them back to Crete. After several days of waiting, they never got here. It later turned out that the pilot that was supposed to deliver them had a deal with the Bretonians. Damn turncoat… Anyway we found out about this transaction and we followed him with a couple of wings of our own. The Bretonian also brought an escort. It was a very big fight from what I’ve been told by the few survivors. Well the he got away…,” Cordova let that sink in, before continuing, “The good news is that he crashed into an asteroid and died, leaving the ship disabled. Our friend here, Mr. Trent found the wreck, but then the Outcasts took it from him. We found him floating in space unconscious and very little oxygen left.”
“So what do you want from me?”
“Edison-”
“Call me Trent.”
“Trent. We want you to help us track this weapon down.”
“Pay?”
“Your life of course, I think that’s a fair bargain…”

good, good. but the corsairs killed all the outcasts? be reasonable. the outcasts are just as strong....
anyway, Trent could make an escape attempt once the corsairs give him a ship, maybe make a break for Liberty...

Note: a new RPG, Liberty Vs Bretonia, has just started up. Join it!

Think surprise. A dozen or so Outcasts focuses soley on Trent wouldn't see a bunch of Titans launching a salvo of missiles sneaking up behind them. Keep it up, nice last line. --- VH16
