"Roger Eagle. All systems are functioning at 100%, Weapons are fully loaded and the Shield system is on reactionary. Stealth systems are engaged. Ready on your mark, over."
"Sentinel, if I may make a suggestion? Your name is the same name as the project you originated from, so how about we give you an actual name?", Dwan asked the Sentinel. "Like Andronicus. That name fits you perfectly.", he said.
Sentinel looked at Dwan as he spoke about a personal name. "Andronicus, a Greek name that bares a male warrior. The name fits as I am a robot built for combat. I appreciate the name Andronicus."

"Ten-four Talon, stand by."Lion connected to the bridge intercom. "Fighter detail ready for deployment sir, we'll begin scouting out the lay of the land before Roughrider touches down with the rest of team. Tell us when to deploy."
Said Lion as the cockpit began closing up.

[QUOTE=enigmarage;47679739][I think Jeb's going to sit this mission out, that way I can think about character development and all that fun stuff. I'll keep looking at what you guys are doing, though. As for his injury at the firing range (which I think will just be a minor thing that he overreacted to), that should take care of itself without incident][/QUOTE]
[You should tag along though, we're dealing with weird artifacts and that takes its toll on a mind.]
[quote]The Archius XI dropped down into Gadon where the swamp life ruled the land. It was a habitable place where the majority of the living things were mindless creatures. The Divinity Creed had a rule were all things that looked xeno in origin had to be extinguished, the answer was bombardment. However this wasn't mindless bombing to not just clean the living out it was their intentions to terraform planets like Gadon to suit Terran lifeforms perfectly and place Terran animals to establish an ecosystem like that of Terra. Of course their term of bombardment was in reality a seed to clean life out via spore bombs not like actual explosions.
The Archius XI landed in the soggy area, floating 1 kilometer above ground level. [/quote]
Lion was looking through one of many exterior cameras mounted on the hull of the Archius.
"Lots of fog, looks like a lovely place." Lion said to himself.
He looked towards Talon and saw Viper sitting comfortably in the cockpit. "Deployment imminent, begin charge sequence of stratoboosters."
After putting on the armor, Varn made sure his gear was in order. Boombox? Check. Handgun?Check. Grenades, combat knife and tazer? Check, check and check. He made sure to help Pippin pick out a weapon for himself.
Jeremy and Andron geared up with their weapons in tact, taking the lift to the lowest level. "Alright so we'll going to get the piece of the Oracle to Harken Saw, be alerted to any presence that's considered a threat to the crew, understand?"
"Affirmative." Andronicus said.
Jeb anxiously prepared for the mission. His earlier mishap in the range wasn't as severe as he first thought, but his nose still hurt.
[I know in a practical sense, Jeb should wear some kind of armor, but I was thinking it would be fairly light armor, if anything]
Following the meet-up at the bridge, Dwan returned to the bar, wondering whether or not he should join this mission. While he would like to try out the new "machine gun" mode Lion added to his Howitzer during their trip to Termina Central, he wasn't a fan of swamps. He decides to check his weaponry just in case.
Pippin wandered through the armory, examining a variety of weapons. He finds a carbine to his liking, and shows it to Varn ([url]http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2013/297/d/6/taf_iu_149_subcarbine_by_blackdonner-d6rnktl.jpg[/url]) "Do you think I have time to try this out?"
One after another, Yanim flipped the overhead switches of the roughrider cockpit in the sequence needed to power up the dropship and initiate a pre-flight systems check. Skada arrived shortly thereafter having retrieved her tools from the engineering bay as well has her guns, the LWA Type-1 and YSV-82, from her personal quarters. For once, she had not been surprised by a mission while drinking at the bar, and felt confident as she prepared to pilot the craft.
"Main service systems check reads zero-zero," she communicated, indicating that the flight data cache was clear and no faults were detected. "Inputting flight data para-meter... Eagle and Talon read clear, link successful." All three ships began to share their sensory data, increasing the field of vision for all and improving the quality of observations that would be returned to the Archius. For now, the Roughrider was in passive-mode as it sat in the hangar, but it would come in handy once its mission begins.
"Repeating after Lion: All who wish to join this mission, report to hangar."
Yanim also needed a gunner, and while several would be qualified, she hoped Iska would be the first to volunteer.
After examining the gun Pippin picked, Varn gave it back to him. "Fire it a few times at the range to get the hang of it." He heard the message from Yanim "Ill be down at the hangar. If you need anything else, look around the armory." He walked out the armory and went to the hangar.
A light inside the cockpit turned green, Lion did a thumbs up towards Viper.
"Stratoboosters charged, awaiting take-off orders. All craft are to maintain a altitude of 2500 meters upon launch."
Jeremy saw for the stealth vehicles. With no things to say he decided for them to scout. "Deployment is a-go."
Pippin tried to hit some targets but was having a lot of trouble. He would have to train more at this, but for now he needed something easy to fire. He looked at the pistol Varn gave him, and fired that. He was much more accurate with this. He grabbed his weapons and headed for the hangar.
"Solid copy, Cap. Taking off!" The two fighters slowly began to hover above the hangar floor before suddenly catapulting out of the hangar.
Lion could be heard laughing on the communications channel.
"I had almost forgotten how it feels to fly with a stratobooster!" Said Lion as the two fighters began their recon flight above the warm jungles of Gadon.
He turned his head to Talon, which was currently flying next to Eagle.
"How are you holding up, sir?"
[Been in camp for a week in the army without a phone, can someone give me a rundown on the situation?]
( Everyone's died due to mind eating tooth worms, If only we had a space dentist ):
(But No, we have been ordered by HarkArk to grab another piece of the Oracle on a uninhabited swamp planet . Only to find that a bunch religious human space racists are bombing it. But the captain was able to convince them to let us go on planet before they gas the whole world. So we got to hurry us butts and find the artifact while also not showing that we have xenos crewmen because space racism . )

"Solid copy command, follow my lead eagle. Over" Viper said as the frontal armors of Talon came over the cockpit, leaving Viper in the darkness for a second before the Talon's HUD flashed on. Lighting up the cockpit with it's display.
Viper took a moment to focus as the Talon started it's take off. The snakes and stutters of craft as the engines begin to roar took Viper off guard. Viper was just barley to able to get back control of the Talon just before the emergency systems nearly took effect.
The Talon was proving to be a very sluggish as Viper started to engaged the stratobooster. Viper hadn't piloted such a complex star craft since the war. Nevertheless, Viper was able to take control of Talon and fly it out of the hanger with minimal problems.
Viper tired to get hang of the Talon by going though the experiences of the war. The Talon started to behave as the Viper tired to fly it as a Shanghvi ship rather then a human one as a massage from Lion started to come on screen.
"Fine Eagle, it's the talon that's you should be worried about." Viper said before checking to see how the stratobooster is holding up. "It's as rough as I was expecting but it's seems to be holding up well for a dedicated star fighter doing surface duty."
The Panther series was always a much more demanding ship then both the venerable Striker and the Shanghvi fighters it was built to out class with it's unreliable but highly compact duel LX-023 engines and it's redesigned hull that took influences from both Shanghvi and Human ships at the time. Leaving the Panthers to having a limed production and deployment as more Panther pilots have loss there lives to flying error then combat. However, The Panther series is still one of the most agile fighters in galaxy.
[so is there going to be a ground team or is it all fighters?]
[A dropship carrying a space jeep along with the ground team. The fighters are doing recon work.]
[BTW I'm going to be at graduation ceremony in a bit so Viper will be a NPC for probably rest of the day. ]
[who's flying the dropship?]
[Yanim I think.]
"Sir, maybe instead of accompanying the ground team I should stay here, monitor the fanatics from the bridge to make sure they don't get up to anything."
"I don't know, right now we need all the people we can get to find this piece. The pilots can contact me in case something comes up. Foggy swamp, weird noises, Divinity Creed. Something tells me there's going to be something out there." Jeremy said.

"Roger, I'll keep one of my sensors tapped into your system just incase." The two fighters zoomed past a large mountain, revealing a small clearing next to what appeared to be spherical structure.
"Cap, I think we just found our LZ. Relaying coordinates now."
The clearing was located at the foot of a small hill, a large ramp made out of stone lead up the top where a silver-colored sphere was located. Around the hill laid various remains from treasure hunters, pirates and soldiers that had perished when fighting for the structure.
Eagle and Talon began circling the area, scanning for any potential hostiles.
Pippin climbed into the dropship and started looking at different parts of it while he waited.
