Karbarran Orbit - After Act II Part 2

CarrieWhitaker 29 Jun 2010 00:50

From Session

[10:48:49] CWO2 Sarah blinks at the approaching dockyard and gestures at it. "Isn't that the dock that was around Tirol initially? Nice to see it's still up and going."
[10:49:14] Lt. Ishida: Is it?
[10:49:31] Lt. Ishida: Good eye, yes. I think it is.
[10:50:31] CWO2 Sarah nods just a little bit and smiles. "Yep… probably already looking at us coming and saying "them again?" or something like that, if they remember us."
[10:50:50] Lt. Ishida: If it is, then we should be honored guests.

Sarah keeps watching the dock approach, shrugging just slightly at the thought. "Maybe… I guess I'm just used to thinking that won't be the case, generally. Still, hopefully they'll remember and like us."

She stretches out then, and starts looking back at some of the KDF ships again, then.

Suki looks at Sarah and blinks.

"Why would they not like us? Where it not for the Yukikaze the dock would have been destroyed."

Sarah nods a little at that. "True enough. They should remember that. I'm not so concerned about that anyway. Not like we'll really see much of them before we're shuffled down to the ground.." She shakes her head slightly.

She looks down at Karbarra itself then, with a slight frown.

1d100 → 47 = (47): Lore: Invid vs. 74%

GM: Results of Skill Roll: Karberra was one of the last worlds taken by the Invid host as it was not only a stronghold, but one of the worlds closer to the core of the Robotech Masters Empire. This of course only served to delay the inevitable. The fighting for Karberra was brutal, and extended, lasting two bloody years that saw millions of dead on both sides. No Flowers of Life grew on Karberra (the climate is far to frigid) and the Karberrens did not make use of Protoculture. (A falling out with the Tirolian Intersteller Republic precipitated a trade embargo and the Karberrans turned back to the use of their Sekitan Ore, a fuel that the lucrative Monopole rights brokered with the Tirolians, had replaced, much to the benefit of Karberra's ecology.) However, after the Karberran test firing of the first Reflex Cannon, the newly renamed Robotech Empire unleashed their new Zentraedi Armies and in a relatively bloodless assault, subdued the world.

It was this Imperial Possession that the Invid attacked on their long march towards Tirol. After the bloody subjugation the Invid occupied the world and forced the sturdy and powerful Karberrans into slave labor. In order to quell any organized dissent the young of the world were effectively taken hostage in order to ensure Karberren obedience.

Once the UEEF arrived and committed their forces towards Karberra's liberation and secured the Concentration camps the Karberrans as one rose up and visited back upon the Invid their brutality a hundred fold, some records tell of Invid pilots being pried out of their mecha with mining tools to be then torn apart by the claws of their one time slaves. Such was the Karbarren vengeance that among the Regents Invid, the word Ka'bren is synonymous with 'demon'.

Suki nods. "I would think we will have some time before we ship out to make use of the facilities." She says as she looks down upon the aquamarine orb below. A excited smile brightens her face.

"This will be my first time to Karberra. I hope we get a chance to visit their mountain fortress-cities. I hear that the food and ale is excellent."

Sarah nods just a little bit at that and smiles just slightly. "Some time to use the facilities will be nice, for certain…"

She looks down at the surface quietly and nods, leaning just a bit to look at her reflection as well if she can, to make sure her eyes are blue and that she isn't glowing. "My first time there as well, really." She shivers slightly as she looks down at the surface, even as she says it. "Sounds like it might be entertaining. At least until the first time we go into an establishment that's too rowdy and wind up in a bar fight with people a lot bigger than us."

Suki looks at Sarah, up and down, then gives her a wry smile.

"I would think that unless we enter a bar full of pygmy's, that everything is going to be bigger then us." She pauses, then points at Sarah's face.

"You changed your eye color back."

Sarah nods just a little at that, laughing very softly and shaking her head slightly. "Everything is gonna be bigger than any of us, but especially the two of us as the smallest ones. Wonder how much they'll laugh when they see us. Especially if they've seen us listed as the group's heavy fire support team…" She rolls her eyes slightly.

She pauses then and nods just slightly, sighing very softly and looking at the ground a bit. "Yes, I changed my eyes back, I'm trying to get used to it again, since we're going to be off the Yuki, and especially since we're going to be down on Karbarra. I doubt they've seen anyone with red eyes before, and considering what happened here before, I need to be keeping a low profile there to say the least."

Ishida smiles at the comical image with a slight laugh.

Suki nods after the pause.

"Good call." She remarks, not at all wanting to test her speed against the Karabrran brawn. She was confident in her ability to defend Sarah, and herself if needs be, but, it would be preferable if that need never arose.

Sarah sighs just slightly and nods in response. "Any slips there could be dangerous, if they found out about me they'd probably want to rip me into little pieces." She sighs softly and looks at the surface. "That is why I'm nervous."

Suki pats Sarah's shoulder and nods.

"Just stay close to the unit. If something happens, we will deal with it."

Suki looked back down at the planet as a tug drew close to guide the Yukikaze into port. Sarah had altered her eye color and was on guard, and if she stuck with the group she should be fine, beyond that it was hard to predict. The correct precautions had been taken, anything beyond that would just have to be dealt with as they occurred.

CarrieWhitaker 29 Jun 2010 20:28

Sarah nods just a little bit.

"I always stay close to the unit. As for dealing with it, however…" She shrugs slightly. "I'm also afraid that will turn it into one of those unfun little political things. I could see a lot of ways it could go where it would go above the head of us to deal with it."

She shakes her head a little bit. "At any rate, I'll stop worrying once we're in action. Having something important to do keeps that away."

Re: Karbarran Orbit - After Act II Part 2

Chris Turley 29 Jun 2010 22:51

Suki listens and nods, understanding her points. The political aspect did not trouble her so much because of her upbringing; but she had sworn an oath, and at her level within the hierarchy she had sworn into, the politics of any given situation was largely beyond her influence; although, she did have some stings she could pull on if needs be. How useful the result was of course, an other matter entirely.

"Yes, being shot at does seem to simplify things does it not?

Re: Karbarran Orbit - After Act II Part 2

CarrieWhitaker 29 Jun 2010 23:04

Sarah smiles and shrugs just a little bit. "Generally. With the enemy shooting, it keeps them all distracted, and keeps me right in my cockpit where I can be returning fire, after all. So there's no dispute on what has to be done."

She stretches out idly and looks down at the surface again. "Still, enough of that and things might be okay…"

Suki nods again, putting her hands behind her back in a casual parade rest as she watches the docking maneuvers. Soon they would be on the surface and then the situation would clarify itself.
