Thought I should try and get a newSci-Fi thread going,
The Story:
The year is 2359, People have colonaised new worlds and formed the Terran empire. Soon after the first colonies sprang up so did pirates and with them, mercanaries. Men and Women making a living by doing missions that many consider too dangerous for themselves. Some formed into companies which people could send their job offer to and in return they sent mercanaries, others stayed being solo picking jobs off the interstellar network (ISN).
The Night Blades company recieved a job that required all 50 of its pilots. The reward was too big to ignore and all agreed to go, Upon reaching the coordinates they were immediatly warp jammed and nearly all of them were destroyed by a a group of cruisers and escorts. Those who ejected were taken on board and thrown into the same holding cell. Soon after the owner of the night blades company strutted past them and mocked how useless they were then, continued by saying that the reward and of the real mission was for himself. He then continued on his way un escorted by gaurds.
Now the remaining pilots in the holding cell want revenge but wait for their chance to escape.
Name: Ryan Jackson Age: 19 Bio: Has only been a pilot for less than a year but shows great promise in becoming an excellent pilot

Ryan sat in the corner of the cell with his hands on his knees thinking about how he was going to kill the boss when he had the chance. The betrayal hurt him deeply because many of his friends were the ones who died and his heart felt like someone had stabbed him after loosing his fiancee in the battle aswell.
He soon remembered that he was in a cell on board a cruiser heading to god knows where. The faint hum of the forcefield was a constant reminder of where he was. There were a few other people in the cell who he didn't know very well apart from Dustin who seemed to be in just as a foul mood as he was.

Dusty was at the front of the cell, on his knees due to the low ceiling, watching out for any passing guards. He was trying to attract attention of someone he could shout at. That was Dusty's way, Ryan thought: when things went wrong, he shouted. He'd never shout at his crew or companions, but if there were enemies or rivals around he'd never let them hear the end of it. So while they were being ignored, which they had been for the last half an hour, they were safe. Eventually Dusty came to sit beside Ryan, sighing heavily. "I'm gonna take as long as possible killin' these bastards when we get outta here," he growled. He was silent for a moment, taking deep breaths, before adding, "You okay?"

"Not really.." He said quietly.The sound of the ships warp engines died out and they felt being gentlely pushed forwards. "I wonder where we are now?" he said standing up. The alert signal went off echoing through out the ship and Ryan and Dustin could hear some faint rumbling coming at random intervals. "I think the ships under attack!" Dustin said wide eyed to Ryan. Another rumble came and was much louder than the previous, then another louder still. "We better get down!" Ryan shouted jumping onto the floor face down, Dusty quickly followed suit. The explosion was very close, sparks and bits of debris flew around. The power went and everything went black. "Come on quick!" Ryan shouted charging out of the cell. The emergancy lights came online giving a dark red glow around him, the gaurd by the door lay sprawled across the floor with a trickle a blood from his head. Ryan picked up the gaurds rifle and looked along the other cells finding all of them empty.

''Trooper 41 are you there? trooper 41!'' Said a voice over the comm channel. The trooper was alive barely, ''send, Back up team alpha, to reinforce the prison Decks'' Boomed the voice on the comm channel there was a battle going on, and this ship was the primary target.

Fine,
They prised the door open and ran through corridors that they did not know where they led. Coming round a corner several shots were fired from some pulse rifles just missing Ryan as Dusty yanked him back. The security forces continued to fire at them then suddenly they stopped. Ryan peered round, all of them were dead and a young women jogged over them. He recognised her but she seemed much different. "Zoe!" He called as she approached them "Who is it?" She ask cautiously raising her pistol. Ryan and Dustin came out of their hiding place, she gasped "I thought I was the only survivor!" "Well your not and right now we need to get off this ship" she said and turned round revealing her right eye. There were three deep scars coming from different directions that extended far beyond the the bandages that where wrapped tightly across here right eye and temple. "How did that happen?" Dustin gasped "Nows not the time! We need to get to a hanger or escape pods even!"

Just as he said that another large exsplosion happend, and a second more faster alarm sounded, this was the alarm for the ships armour, and it was about to fail!

Dustin swore loudly. "Come on!" he yelled, and the three of them started running down the corridor. As they ran he shouted to Zoe, "Were there any more survivors with you?" "No," Zoe called back. "I was the only one. I thought you guys were dead!" "Plenty of time yet," Dustin said. As they ran around the corner another explosion shook the floor, almost throwing them off their feet.

They stumbled through corridors continually getting knocked over when they came across an escape pod. Zoe climbed in first and down the end of the corridor began a chain explosion. Dustin dived through the hatch with Ryan sealing it and hit the button with the word launch written on it. There was a loud hiss as it was propelled away. Through the small window in the hatch they saw other pods launching and then there was a sudden chain reaction and the ship finally exploded. Looking around the remains of the cruiser they were on they soon realised that the attacking fleet was made up of ship designs none of them had seen before, after continued searching they noticed that it was only the cruiser that had come to where ever they were. The mysterious ships warped away leaving them floating through space and possibly no hope of rescue.

Dustin stared out of the window watching as the enemy ships vanished one after the other, steadily leaving their little pod alone. "Now what?" Ryan asked. "There's barely room for us all in here. Not enough food to last us a week. What are we gonna do?" Dustin turned around. "Zoe, is there a navigation system on this thing?" "Yeah," Zoe called back, shifting abandoned blueprints and papers of a tiny control board. "Good. See if there's any land around here. In the meantime..." He looked at Ryan, who looked angry and nervous. "...We're trapped," he said simply. "Way to state the obvious," muttered Ryan.
[glow=red,2,300]And what happened to mysterious Trooper #41?[/glow]

[glow=red,2,300]I did happen to mention the other escape pods[/glow]
"Hmm.." Zoe mumbled to herself as she looked for planets to land "Erm...you may not like this" "We're in the middle of nowhere aren't we?" Ryan asked "Yes, We don't have enough fuel to get us to the nearest planet" She continued "What about the distress beacon" "Yeah that works" She turned it on and then began the wait for a rescue.

Minutes turned to hours. For some time the three were too shaken and too annoyed to make conversation. Zoe turned her attention to the navigation tools. Dustin was staring out of the thick-glassed window as though he could draw land closer with his eyes. Ryan simply sat in the corner of the cramped pod gazing into space, his mind wandering over what would happen when, or if, they were ever found and rescued.

The days went slowly by, eating only a small portion of their rations a day can continued not to say a word to each other, saving the oxygen. It was Zoes turn by the window and as the pod slowly rolled over again she spotted a glint of something big. She blinked and looked out and waited for the pod to face it once again. A broad smile spread across her lips as she saw to her pleasure a large carrier moving slowly through the debris.
"A ship! A ship!" She shouted point out of the window with Ryan and Dustin clambering over her to see it. Zoe crawled over to the navigation panel and steered the ship towards it, diverting what little power there was into the distress beacon. The carrier began to send out small ships to pick up the escape pods. One finally picked them up and they were towed back to the carrier. As they passed by the ship large white letters on the ship told them its name, "Agamenom".

"Thank Christ," Dustin said, as their little pod was attached to the ship. The connection was made and the door slid open, and Dustin, Ryan and Zoe found themselves faced with two guard-like members of the Agamenom crew.
[glow=red,2,300]Is this name supposed to be the one from Troy? Because if it is I think it's spelt Agamenmon...[/glow]

Ot: i'm sorry for some reason i can't see glow......don't know why, so Can i have your permision to use the, ''OT:'' at the begginging of an off topic speach, since I can't see it?
The two guards raised there weapons ''Identify yourself's NOW'' the people on there Pod have many paths to choose, but which path will they take?
meanwhile in the medical center on the large ship trooper 41 was recovering, he had sufferd pulse burns across his skull, this had required a surgical removel of the surrounding are of the Bone to stop it melting and causing brain damage. The trooper was given a double dose of the wake up Drug, as he was needed for questions and *reteachment.*

Ryan shoved Dustin forward. Dustin quickly found his balance again, the left-hand guard's gun pressed against his chest. He hesitated, then raised both hands. "I am Dustin Mortensen, leader of the Shadow Pilots. This is Ryan, my co-pilot, and Zoe Kilbride of the Night Blades. We were captives on board an enemy craft and are seeking accommodation. And, um, medical attention."
