I wasn't planing to show anything risque...ok cept one thing, we pass a slaver trying to sell off a Rock woman, we can tell its a rock woman because she is wearing a bikini. Of course still the big rockman body.

You know I like I them rock women. It's okay with me

(Since no one seems to object to where we are going...)

Bren did the work and they were off, bouncing off one beacon and heading to the one in the asteroid field, however...

"Hey I'm getting a distress beacon...umm guys can you understand this language, I don't think the autotranslator is working" he said as he played the recording

It sounded low almost like a rockman, but also angelic, like it was the rockman singing, it was on repeat, and the language was nothing they ever heard.

"Wanna make a pit stop, maybe investigate, someone could be out here hurt" he called out on the intercom.

Wait I thought we were going to the station while Jake was getting the new ship

we split up, Lux and I are taking us to this Station to improve the Robin and maybe find new jobs or even recruits. While Jake is on his own getting the ship himself, he has to go alone

Lux listened to the singing. It seemed rather gravelly in tone but no doubt it was how the Rockmen would be going about it. The fact that it was on a typical distress frequency meant that it was probably something important.
"They do say the Rockmen of Vrachos IV are rarely seen and are known for their fortitude" Lux remarked cheerily "Maybe this one needs our help; remember what the regs said about distress signals, right?"
Dad said that a pirate who abused the distress signal frequencies tended not to be alive for very long, she thought to herself.

I'm thinking that distress signals are sort of a galactic standard. Anyone can use them but they really are for emergencies only and using them to lure people into a trap might work a few times but no pirate tends to live long enough to develop a reputation of abusing them. Because sometimes your "rescuer" comes in the form of a big and powerful warship.

(Its not singing, its a description of the voice, think about it, what could have a similar voice to rockmen )

"Agreed, the rocks around here are making it hard to pin point, somone get to the sensors, see if you can boost our tracking signal" he called out, "Might be what we need to track this one"

it seems like Bren has taken the role of Acting Captain. That's A-OK with me. You guys continue your adventure, while Jake will SEPERATLY continue his. We will meet back at the Federation base. (Where Jake is currently.)

(yeah sorry for taking over, I will give up control once this "mission" is over, I mean only reason I'm in control is because well he knows where this place is and has the key word kinda makes sense...now if you want me to lose control now I can do that...sorry I don't want to be that guy who dominates an RP)

stylesrj wrote:Lux is acting Captain but she only assumes people want her to be that because her father is an officer so she must have inherited some of his leadership talents, right?
So as you can see, she's not very good at doing the whole Captain thing and letting her subordinates do the leadership... which is kinda bad for an officer to be doing but dammit Jim, she's a doctor not a leader.

Bren I guess has more the mentality, he has the desire to make sure his crew survives and doesn't get hurt by pirates and slugs (yeah he is racist towards slugs LOL)
