The distress beacon carried into deep space,the T.C.S Ulysses a private freighter belonging to Terra Corporation  a powerful private conglomerate within the GSU has been cut off from usual trade hyperlanes and attacked by a unknown force.

The ship had it's engines disabled and several hull breaches that forced the ship into a emergency state. The attack was done with precision targeting the parts of the ship that was weakest yet despite the total helplessness of the ship the attackers where nowhere in sight. The captain took the opportunity to broadcast a high powered distress beacon with the little power they had left....If help doesn't arrive soon the life support systems would fail and with it the crew's demise secured.

A repurposed immortal warship entered the fray. In this pirate ship the pirate captain spoke to her crew, adressing their actions ahead... "You know guys... We should be ashamed of ourselves... Attacking a ship that is under attack, we're bassically stealing someone elses raid... Now, for the real orders, monkeys! Get your equipment on! We're going in hot, report your asses to the hangar and viral crewmembers! Report your asses to the impaler missiles and calibrate your teleporting equipment! We''re attacking in 20 mikes and 57 sierras! Out!"


Soon the broken down ships was surrounded by 2 ships, viral battleships. They were armored and ready to pelt the poor ship with impaler missiles. They positioned themselves next to the other ship that was under attack and waited for the 20 minute mark while Kat opened communication with the disabled ship. "T.C.S Ulysses! Pray to whatever god you believe in that we wont find any civilians in the prison bay because we're coming in! We will get very aquainted very soon!"

The captain of the Ulysses sprung into action,his former GSU naval training reminding him to seize control of the situation.

"Sargeant Niles you and one of your men go secure the package." He said before broadcasting across the ship.

"All security personnel to your stations.....All security personnel to your stations." 

The Captain had at his disposal 31 soldiers,most of them being discharged ex-Colonial military troopers eager to see action...But they where hopelessly outnumbered and outgunned.

"Attention pirate crew you are attacking property of Terra Corporation and the Galactic Systems Union....This is a hostile act and will lead to retaliation....Turn around and leave."

The Captain hoped his ruse would work as it has on smaller pirate groups in his career.

The two viral battleships opened fire and aimed their impaler missiles at the hangar bay with, allowing her pirates to flood into the ship and begin their raid. Kat meanwhile, over the course of leading her pirate empire, she had gotten drunk with power and has gone mad. Normally she could suppress this little side but now, with some liar that wanted to scare her off? No he would hear her and learn what fear is again. 

She replied to the incoming audio with a giddy giggle that slowly turned into a very unsettling cackle. "GSU...? That's a lie... Hahah... I know a GSU commander when i hear one and even then... I have raided many ships in my day, some of wich were GSU... And NEVER did i leave survivors! GSU knows me very well and i know GSU very well! HAH, you'll end up wishing you were GSU you FAKE CAPTAIN... Oh dont you worry... I'll have you go down with the ship... Captain... CREW! I want their captain ALIVE!"

Not too far away, a small privately operated spacecraft had been following the Ulysses, attempting to communicate with them, but proving unsuccessful. It's de facto commander, Iridian, did not usually associate with unknown ships, but in this situation it was all he could do... His small Spacecraft had been attacked by pirates, and his ship had barely survived the encounter, desperately in need of repairs. Of course, there was the possibility that the Ulysses was a pirate vessel like the one that had attacked him... In which case Iridian would be out for revenge. Upon approach, however, he discovered that the Ulysses was not the only ship out there, and it was surrounded by warships that did not look friendly. But Iridian couldn't be sure... Perhaps those ships were attacking the Ulysses for a good reason? Or maybe the Ulysses started the fight? Still, the freighter seemed defenseless... Iridian wanted to help, but didn't know how he could- those ships vastly outnumbered his small craft, and had probably already noticed him. He waited for them to make the next move... if he had to be boarded, and probably die, he didn't want to be the one to start the conflict...

The pirates layed dead before her, but they were not alone as there were many more to come. In fact much to ones surprise, alot these pirates did not wear simple battle armor but rather thick, hard juggernaut like armor that already made them apear much taller than they probaply were. Not only was their armor massive but so were the guns they carried, these things were no simple pirate weapons but easily military grade weaponry. In fact, it was military grade as it was formerly the property of the immortals that valliantly defended against hostile factions that surrounded them for years and it was the equipment that these pirates carried that allowed the immortals to hold out so long... 

What these other juggernauts were doing was guarding the entrance between the pirate ship and the ship they were currently in. These juggernaut soldiers along with differently armored soldiers and regular assault troopers as well as a plethora of medics and other support classes. The two large viral battleships ignored the smaller ship closing in on them and their troopers into the freighter. Meanwhile back at the juggernauts that were guarding the gate between two ships, the gate suddenly opened. Out of it a small elven woman, seemingly hispanic wandered out. She had large, deep and very distinct purple eyes and bronze hair, she carried a sniper rifle that was modeled to look like a musket and she looked around the room.

Wherever she looked, the soldiers would bow down for her. It was obvious now that this was no mere pirate captain. She was much more than that. "Is the captain caught yet...?" She asks with an unusually calm tone and one of the juggernaut soldiers from before looks up and answers. "Not yet... Kapitan..." In response the woman let out a giddy giggle and flicked his helmet. "Then you better go find him... I want to cut out that liar's throat before throwing him into space. Is the ressistance on the ship gone yet...?" Her voice was eerily calm when speaking to her soldier, even if she indicated wanting to perform brutal violence on an innocent man whose only crime was to decieve her in an attempt to come out safely.

"N-not yet... Kapitan... We are nearly done, most of the ressistance has been eliminated however." She cocked her head to the side at the display of her soldier and got a grin on her face. "Calm down... You have no reason to fear me... But i want you to make sure our enemies do... Okay? Now go find that captain and bring him to one of the airlocks..." The soldier nodded hastily and beckoned his juggernaut mate to follow him before quickly leaving. The woman snickered at the display of her soldier. There was clearly something wrong with her as evident by her tendency to enjoy violence. Other than that she was clearly a pirate, dressed in a leather jacket with two pistols and two sharpened fans on her hips along with a scimitar and a rapier. She wore a brown bandana with flowers and her hair flowing from underneath it like a bronze waterfall. She also wore a modified skull on her shoulder like a shoulderpad. She seemingly didnt notice Anaire but with her obvious elven heritage, response speed would ba trait of hers, but trying wouldnt hurt, right...?

Iridian watched the massive battleships and damaged freighter on his radar terminal, not daring to look out the main viewport and see them in all their deadly reality. If they noticed him, they showed no sign of it, but if there was a battle, it seemed to have died down. The ship's built in scanner showed several life signs aboard the freighter... some of them were human...some of them were not. Or maybe the scanner was simply malfunctioning- Iridian suspected that he was too late to save whoever it was who needed saving... Nevertheless, he decided it was time to send out a signal announcing his presence- and wait...

"This is....COMMANDER...Iridian... of the spaceship...that is approaching you... people. Do either of you need any assistance, because I certainly do- Please don't attack me!"  Iridian said in his most confident, dramatic, and dark tone, which wasn't very convincing.

He grew tired of waiting for a response and changed into his pressure suit, which he always kept with him on the control room in the case of an emergency- The other vessels seemed to be ignoring him, but he did feel obligated to help in whatever way he could, and hope that the others would help him with the repairs to his own ship that he might not be able to handle on his own. This damaged freighter seemed to be attracting a lot of attention, and it was the ship that he had been following in the first place, so Iridian decided to board it and try not to be mistaken for a space pirate- Unfortunately, there did not seem to be any easy way in- and if he flew any closer he would surely be noticed...
But Iridian liked to be noticed, so he approached the freighter, still trying to contact them, and searching for an airlock in which to enter, or even better, an open docking port- the thought of venturing into space alone in the midst of a space attack was not that appealing- it would be dramatic, sure, but as much as Iridian liked to be noticed, he did not like unnecessary drama, unless he was the one creating it, of course!
 "I should've been a writer", he thought as he readied his blaster weapon and sword.

This wasn't the first time Iridian had encountered space pirates, but never with such powerful ships... By this point, it was clear that the Ulysses was the victim of this attack, not the aggressor. Could these have been the same pirates who left his small spacecraft, the Finality, severely damaged? Probably not, any force that could incapacitate a massive freighter like the Ulysses could obliterate the old, outdated, and improbably named Finality in an instant. Yet why hadn't they? Maybe he should just turn away while there was still time.... 
But his ship had been damaged too, and his only hope to repair it was to help the Ulysses and hope that they would help him in return. 
Iridian manuevered alongside the ruined freighter, right outside one of the massive hull breaches. He left strict instructions to the Finality's onboard Artificial Intelligence to fire on anyone who threatened the craft while Iridian was away, entering the dormant Ulysses- the Finality may have been, for all intents and purposes, a piece of crap, but it was worth a lot to Iridian- and a few others as well.

Quareen already killed many of These "guards" On this Goddamn ship From her Advantage Point she started counting the bodies 1....10...35 too many to Count.

As the Cargo bay got completly anihalated it became way too obvious that The "guards" on the ulysses were not prepared to face a threat, if the threat was competent enough to tie their shoes this ship would havebeen destroyed 10 times out of 10.

As the Pirates went through the ulysses on the way to the main Bridge...they were just no match at all Quareen always went through the Rafters And looking down once in a while to see some "Guards" get brutally murdered just as the Kaptain likes it.

Now there was just one Problem, the lockdown that kept the Bridge safe....for now.
From the crowd a pirate shouted "OPEN THE DOORS I WANNA SEE BLOOD" although nobody else said a word this one man said out what everybody thought and to be fair...Quareen wanted that too...
"Us pirates are just one big happy Family eh?"

When Captain Richardson’s message reached the shipboard communications system of the Finality, Iridian had already cycled through the airlock and had begun to scale the surface of the Ulysses, looking for a hull breach large enough to enter. The Finality’s AI, unfortunately, did not wait for Iridian to board the ship before setting out for Airlock 4 to retrieve this mysterious cargo...
The Finality’s storage bay opened, and several supply modules were ejected, floating off into space. One of them hit Iridian, and he lost his grip on the Ulysses, floating off into space, just as the Finality’s engines started…

“Finale, what’s going on here?” yelled Iridian over his personal communicator. “Why did you jettison our emergency supplies? We kinda need those to SURVIVE!” The simplistic text reply of the AI flashed across his visor screen.


PROCEEDING TO JETTISON UNESSENTIAL SUPPLIES TO PROVIDE SUFFICIENT STORAGE SPACE FOR NEW CARGO.

Iridian fired a burst from his blaster weapon, using it as a makeshift rocket thruster to push him back towards the Ulysses. He hoped this wouldn’t be seen as an act of aggression. He grabbed onto the Ulysses’ hull and looked up just in time to see the Finality dive towards the other side of the giant freighter.
“New Cargo? What New Cargo? Where are you going?”



PROCEEDING TO RECOVER CARGO FROM AIRLOCK-4 TO BE DELIVERED TO TERRA CORPORATION HEADQUARTERS, MARS, AS REQUESTED BY THE CAPTAIN OF THE ULYSSES.

Iridian sighed as best he could in his bulky pressure suit. He didn’t know what was going on, but his ship was in no condition to fly all the way back to Mars, not to mention without him! And Airlock-4? If there was an open Airlock on this ship, why hadn’t the AI notified him? But Iridian was curious, and somewhat excited to get to bring aboard some special cargo from the Ulysses, even if it would put him even more in danger from pirates than he already was. “I guess I’ll meet you there, Finale, but NEVER fly off without me again!”
And so, Iridian floated alongside the Ulysses with nothing but a sword, a blaster, and a pressure suit, while his ship docked at Airlock-4 and prepared to receive the very important cargo…

Anairë had no idea what that artefact was, but if the Captain thought it was more important than his own life it must be important to The Union as well. She saw more pirates moving towards the bridge including a rather short elf. She wore flamboyant clothes and an excess of different weapons. The other pirates treated her as a leader. She looked at Anairë but completely ignored her. She and the other pirates seemed to focus on the bridge. Anairë run to the emergency stairs and descended to the cargo bay, she didn’t want to use any lifts since she was unsure of what would work. She saw signs of combat with mostly dead crewmembers but the pirates seemed to have moved on leaving the cargo bay for later. In the cargo bay she realised immediately what was the “artefact” because a Sergeant and a young private was standing in front of on lonely crate it aiming their weapons against her. The pirates wanted to secure the ship before bothering with the cargo they presumably where here to steal? It probably meant that they where not here for this particular piece of equipment.


“I’m an officer in a Union allied unit, don’t shoot.” Anairë shouted. “The Captain ordered me to help securing the ‘Artefact’”. At the same time the doors to a large cargo-airlock opened and a small figure in a space suit became visible. Behind him or her cargo doors of a spaceship was visible. It had docked to the airlock.

Meanwhile Quareen was still waiting on top of the Rafters while A crowd of angry pirates produced a pack that was compareable to Blood thirsty Hyenas that are only waiting untill their Prey was bleeding out But the difference was THEY weren´t animals they were Pirates just waiting for the captain to command them to break down the doors.

Quareen got tired of waiting untill the boss gave the command but at the same time she was also jealous of the other pirates of the ship Slaughtering Everything that wasn´t a pirate.

She just wanted to Pop some heads with her sniper not wait untill the door was broken to Storm a few Pilots and the captain of this ship.

 So she decided to follow the Rafters through the ship and begin searching for battles to drop in on for

{Sorry took time to catch up with this,also deleted the OOC question about Kat's character sheet hope ja don't mind Northern Angel}

----In the cargo bay------

Sargeant Niles and private Cowalds was relieved at the sight of the elf. "Thank God you're here" Cowalds muttered being a bit scared of the situation.To be honest who wasn't,the crew here was equipped and manned for a simple recovery mission not a skirmish with pirates.They did not notice the elf aboard the ship before but then again they did not see much of the other crewmen being cooped up in the barracks all day.


"Lets move this bloody thing" Niles said as he grabbed the pressure sealed crate,it had Titanium-reinforced seals something very uncommon to use even in the military which meant that this Terra Corporation took no expense on securing whatever is inside that crate. Niles carried the crate towards the airlock and the mysterious new ship that came to their aid. "Oi open up." He cried as he reached the sealed dock. Cowalds stood next to the elf shaking as his eye was fixed upon the entryway to the cargo bay.


-----At the Bridge-----


"Lt Briggs,purge the data files regarding our mission...." 


"Already done sir." Said a man in a beret.


"Good...good.." The Captain sighed.


"Never thought we will go down with pirates sir."


"Yeah....To think after 4 years of service in the demonic front and well over 7 years as a private contractor I expected to be killed by some elite bloke with a grudge against the corporation.....But nah....Pirates."


"You have family sir?"


"Yeah....A son....Haven't seen him since I left Earth to fight the demons,I heard he was fighting for one of them groups up North..."


"I'm sure he woul......" The Lt was cut short as the doors began to break loose.


The Captain fired his revolver with the Lt using his automatic pistol,they where able to get one of the pirates but the sheer force that broke in caused them to surrender quickly. The Captain watched as the Lt was cut down in the gunfight,a gaping wound where his stomach used to be.


The bearded Captain watched with contempt as he awaited the pirate that seeks his head.

Anairë had her bow in hands and an arrow with a High Explosive arrow-head on the bow string. She was backing toward the cargo door just behind the Sergeant carrying the crate; she had her eyes fixed on the entrance to the cargo hold where she had come from.

"Lets abandon ship, the ship is lost to the pirates and they seem intent on killing all the crew. I don't know why but they spared me, I think it is because the Pirate Captain is an elf as well, she is a small girl and don't seem mentally stable." Anairë said and hoped they would get in to the ship before any pirates found this cargo bay.
