| Original OOC Board RP Thread Okay guys, I really dropped the ball last time we got this un-graveyarded, but I'm focused now - I want this RP to finally be completed. XD It was the first user-made RP to be accepted here at the GC, and all we need to finish is the drive to keep going. We've talked about how it's going to end, we just have to get there. We won't be starting fresh. We'll be continuing the RP as is and pushing towards the ending as succinctly as possible; this RP will officially end on or before October 31st, even if I have to fanfic the ending to make that happen XD (Why October 31st? it was hinted October's theme is "cleaning up," so we can align it with the challenge for more points and whatnot XD) As far as character claims go - we had a lot of people sign up for various characters, and I've learned since starting to RP here that, usually, smaller groups tend to go much faster. I don't want to deny people RPing with previously accepted characters, but I'm going to go ahead and say that there will be no set posting order and my character, Mamoru, will control pacing; that is, if I do a time skip or brush past certain events to other plot points, all character groups will be expected to keep up. I won't necessarily wait for side-scenes to end to continue moving @.@ which sounds terrible, I'm sorry, but this RP started in January 2012 and I want to finish it! XD Everyone is welcome to side-rp scenarios off-thread and throw the finished act in via a spoiler for everyone to enjoy in the setting if I rush past a scene you wanted to explore more - please understand that if I'm moving us places it's to get to bigger plot points and towards the finale! Okay, so the information: to refresh people XD or introduce if anyone new wants to jump in XD - Quote :
Batteries OOC - Sailor Uranus wrote:
- Storyline Information:
A society of highly advanced humaniods have discovered a near-infinite source of energy - the energy source found within human beings. Through use of new technology, the race of war-loving Tarans created devices that can harness the energy emitted by star seeds... thus creating a new reason to support slavery on their home world.
A few short years after Galaxia's reign over the galaxy was ended, the Tarans discovered a power much greater than that of star seeds - sailor crystals. After capturing and experimenting on their own planet's guardian, their suspicion founded correct, they immediately and greedily turned their eyes outward, to other planets and their stock of star seeds and the possiblity of further crystals to be employed towards running their devices. A new goal formed in the mind of their rulers - domination.
After bringing other senshi down, forcing them to submit under their unspeakable tactics and impeccable power, they heard of a Sailor Senshi who had become legendary for the near-infinite power and love she possessed, a senshi who was to be queen, the senshi who defeated Galaxia... and the sailor crystal that would power their dreams of domination. And so, with their most powerful warships in tow, they turned their eye on the Solar System, and the young team of women who protected it.
They powered through the outer solar system, the senshi at their posts easily overtaken, first Neptune, then Uranus Pluto and Saturn. They reached Earth with little warning. The attack toppled the buildings of Tokyo, the sensors on board honing in on the sailor crystals below. Once the short battle was over, the ship collected its prize - five senshi... but the machine picked up a man as well, something that had never happened before and so was thought to be a fluke. The senshi they distributed into the widely spaced holding chambers, already taking their energy as they hung unconscious. The man in the tuxedo they put into a cell with the Earth civilians they took to sell at auction to the wealthy people of Taran. They had only a number of days to get out. To save themselves from a future of slavery that has been proofed against their abilities. To regain their freedom and get back to Earth and protect the populace from other attacks, else save the galaxy from the advances of the Tarans.
The mission: Save Serenity. Save the senshi. Save the people. Get home alive.
- So far, in Batteries:
The Solar System was attacked by Tarans. First they attacked planet Neptune and kidnapped Sailor Neptune, then attacked Saturn and kidnapped Sailors Saturn, Uranus and Pluto (who thought teaming up might work), and then moved to Earth and kidnapped Sailors Moon, Mercury, Mars, Venus, Jupiter and Tuxedo Mask, and a couple hundred civilians to sell as slaves and home batteries for people back on Taran. Their machine was honed to pick up on Sailor Crystals and capture the associated senshi; while it picked up Tuxedo Mask for the Golden Crystal within him, operators of the claw-like machine discarded him because they were certain that only girls could possess Sailor Crystals and thought that the machine had simply made a mistake. Tuxedo Mask, with the help of Earth civilians (including Shingo, Mika, and Motoki), escaped the civilian holding chamber and befriended a disgruntled Taran mechanic, Serisii Togarishi. For purposes all her own, Togarishi decided to help Mamoru in his quest to save his friends and get out, and so disguised him as a mechanic, like her, and they went in search of the holding cells of the senshi.
The first senshi they came across was an alien senshi - Sailor Vegeta - who seems to have a distaste for her senshi title (and a pretty nasty attitude). Upon awakening, she violently demanded to know the whereabouts of her brother, Tobias. Revealing his identity and his mission, Mamoru and Gochi (Sailor Vegeta) come to a truce and decide to work together to find the people they seek. With a quick computer search, Togarishi finds that Gochi's brother, Tobias, has been taken in as a Pet for one of the higher ranking captains on the ship. Togarishi goes to find a disguise for Gochi, and returns with a Maintenance (custodian) uniform, making up a backstory for Gochi to make her presence with them more believable - she was the daughter of a high ranker with an attitude problem, and serving as a custodial person was a form of 'character building' for the girl. They move on after shutting down the sailor-crystal-energy-draining-machine and alerting the operators who were supposed to do that, just to make sure that no one would return to see an empty container and sound the alarm.
The next senshi they found, plugged into the defense network, was Sailor Jupiter, labeled only "Earth" as that was the planet the Tarans found her on. After getting the operators out of the room, Togarishi taught Mamoru how to free Sailor Jupiter (and any following senshi) from the capsule, thinking ahead to when she would have to leave. After Jupiter awakened, Mamoru explained the situation, introduced their companions, and Togarishi left to find a slew of uniforms and costumes to hide Jupiter, and the other senshi they came across, in plain sight.
She returned, and the group prepares to move on to the next senshi.
Senshi Found power down and don disguises. Below is the name, disguise description, disguise job.

- The split:
Mamoru watched the panels closely for any hint of alarm, his fingers at the keys just in case, waiting on edge to make sure the commands he input had been accepted into the system without sending out a distress call to any other center of the ship. Each extraction was getting more and more difficult as he had to scramble codes to create excuses to enter battery chambers, and further codes to cover what they were doing within. With Pluto’s team about to splinter off he hoped that their luck would continue. Their number was much greater now, and much harder to hide; while he still didn’t particularly like the idea of splitting up on an alien craft, it was the only possible way they could continue, their only hope of finding Usagi.
Behind him he heard Setsuna explaining their situation to Hotaru; introducing her to their new allies – senshi from extrasolar planets – passing on Michiru and Haruka’s well wishes, explaining where the two of them had gone, and revealing Hotaru’s new role as a Ranker’s daughter. When he heard Minako playfully commenting on Hotaru’s outfit he turned, trusting that the system would hold and that they were indeed invisible to the system, to look at their group.
They were down Togarishii, Gochi, Michiru and Haruka, the latter three of whom were off holding up his side of his bargain with Gochi, carefully searching the upper levels of the ship in an attempt to find Gochi’s brother, Tobias. He had utter confidence in the pair, knowing that they would succeed in their mission and return; Uranus and Neptune always did. He sincerely hoped that the senshi of Vegeta would be reunited with her brother and escape with them, but wouldn’t worry about her if she decided to split altogether. She could handle herself.
They had gained a good portion of their team - Makoto, Ami, Setsuna, Minako, and now Hotaru – and several more besides; there were four other senshi, all from different systems, all hoping to be reunited with a partner but too quiet to insist on finding them. He wanted to help them, too, but knew that he had to find Usako before the Tarans tried anything with her or her powers.
At this point they all knew the drill; he had been repeating it at every turn, but now as a group of ten, this was it. “Ami, Setsuna,” he instructed, looking at the ‘doctor’ and the ‘mechanic’; he wanted to keep Setsuna with Hotaru, but knew that she and Ami were the best choices for keeping track of the new senshi, and helping them find and free any others they came across. He also knew that the two of them, while outwardly calm and polite, would not hesitate to make the tough decisions should things go wrong. “You two will be leading the second group. Your mission is to save as many other senshi as you can.” He looked at both of them, “Keep in touch with their computer system, leave me messages where Togarishii had instructed so they don’t find them. If you need to split up again… just keep me informed, okay?” The two of them nodded, looking determined. He turned to the four new senshi, regretting that he did not remember their names, “You four go with them; with any luck, you can recover your lost friends, too. We’ll leave together, if we can.” He looked at the two of them, Ami and Setsuna, steadfast friends through time; somehow this was more difficult than when Michiru and Haruka left; but then, those two were always leaving on private missions. This was dangerous, and, while they all agreed that it was the right thing to do, splintering to find other senshi was a completely selfless act that could cost them their lives if they were not careful. There would be no talking them out of it, though, so he offered them a “Good luck,” and after a few hugs and some quiet instructions from Setsuna to the new senshi, they were on their way.
Once the last of the second party had left, Mamoru turned to the small party that remained: Makoto, Minako, and Hotaru; they would continue forward, into the command part of the ship, and search directly for Usagi. Were they to find another battery chamber they would stop to free the senshi within, but only if it were on the direct route to Usako. The ship’s navigation revealed that they were passing through the space between Uranus’s and Neptune’s orbital areas; they wouldn’t be in the Solar System for much longer.
He smiled halfheartedly, looking to Hotaru, who was dressed as a chic and proper young lady. “Hotaru, stick with Minako,” the plainly-clothed blonde, carrying what had been Gochi’s backpack, put her hand on the younger girl’s shoulder comfortingly, “she’ll help you when she can, but you have to remember that you’re in charge, okay?”
“Makoto, you’re with me again,” he nodded to the tall girl, noting how the shoe polish in her hair was beginning to work itself in, looking less glossy and more realistic now that it had had time to settle. They had found a mop and bucket along the way, and now, along with the backpack, Makoto really looked the part of a maintenance worker. “We’ll leave last so I can shut the place down again; keep walking down the main hallway and stop for a bit to let us pass; then you can follow again to the next stop, alright?”
The two left, as did he and Makoto shortly after. Once the doors were closed behind them he began working at the controls, making the computer think that Sailor Saturn were still in stasis within the compartment, and then shut down the system for long-distance travel. Then he and Makoto left, too.
As they walked down the well-light, increasingly wider hallway together, he didn’t quite know what to say by means of conversation; Makoto and he had been at this for hours now, slowly working their way down the ship, freeing senshi, avoiding suspicion, silently fighting to make their way off the ship before it was too late. And still they had so many unanswered questions – what were they planning to use Usako’s energy for? What defenses did they have in place to protect her, and could they make it through on the virtue of their disguises alone? Could they even hope to stop the Tarans, a culture so technologically advanced that they could barely comprehend the science at work on this starship? Could they even make it off this ship alive? And what of the people of Earth, locked back in the containment bays? Could they possibly hope to save them? They, who had risked so much just to get him out, who rested all their hopes on his shoulders, on all their shoulders… they couldn’t abandon them to their fate.
With so much adversity mounting against them, despite his best efforts to the contrary, Mamoru was starting to doubt whether they would succeed in this mission on any level, and perhaps it was the crease of his brow or the heaviness of his step, but weight of his thoughts was starting to show.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Ranker Quarters Togarishii’s “crash course” in Ranker Etiquette had been exactly that – a bare bones set of instructions that she barely got out before having to turn around and run back down the main hall in the direction they had traveled from, an alarm going off at her wrist. Ranker quarters were only dangerous if you let them be; if Michiru acted like a top dog then she would get into a lot of places without asking a lot of questions. Haruka’s main job, acting as Michiru’s Kersa, was to look pretty and do all the heavy lifting. No talking unless spoken to, all politeness all the time. Gochi just had to keep her mouth shut. Their best bet was to engage whatever Kersa they met, describe the missing brother, and see what the rumors were.
If nothing else worked, they’d have to try door to door, creating a ruse that would let them continue on should the apartment not hold the person they sought.
Lucky for them, they got to try the preferred option first, for as they rounded the first corner, a young and handsome blond Kersa was walking towards one of the doors ahead of them, groceries in his well-toned arms. What did he know about Tobias?
Group 1: Vegetan Rescue Team Gochi Michiru* Haruka Tobias
Group 2: Senshi Rescue Team Setsuna* Ami* Otaku Senshi
Group 3: Usagi Express Rescue Team Mamoru* Makoto Minako Hotaru Since then: Group 1 found Gochi's brother, Tobias, and has rejoined with Group 3 as they reach the chamber containing Sailor Mars. Group 2 will be joining with them again soon.
Future Plans:
- Spoiler:
- They leave the solar system's boundary before finding Usagi, and the ship goes into hyper drive. Everyone despairs - how can they win this?
- They focus on finding Usagi; if they're all together, they'll surely figure something out. Otakus have the option of knowing, or not knowing, the solar system senshi; they would know them from the fight against Galaxia (all manga style, at the cauldron).
- They rescue Usagi after covertly (no transformations possible yet) disposing of the guards, and find that she won't wake up - she's been heavily drugged on top of being put into the battery chamber (9V into a 2.5V battery didn't work, they had to knock her out). So... yeah, hard time for senshi.
- Then, to make a bad situation even worse, Freiza randomly comes across the Taran ship. The Tarans know a bit about Freiza - enough to know they either have to attempt to destroy him, or get the hell out.
- Problem for the Tarans: while their computer systems read everything as being online, a lot of their systems are going on reserve power. They send technicians to check on battery chambers. Oops, they're empty, and they're all going to die. Tarans don't surrender.
- Togarishii jumps into action (after an angsty WHY DID I HELP THEM party for one) and engages her alternative energy supply (which she's been working on for years; check her profile XD). It works! Systems go online.
- They decide to flee, not wanting to put the new system under a lot of stress so early in its test phase. They put up their shields and prepare to high-tail it out of there as Freiza engages them on their displays.
- Togarishii, now in charge of the mechanics unit, declares that the ship has too much inertia - they won't be able to get away with the cargo bays full. She announces over the ship-wide intercom that they'll have to jettison the cargo holds.
- Mamoru hears this, catches the subtle hint (Togarishii's send off), and urges the senshi to make their way back to the cargo hold. She's setting the captured people free, and giving them a way to get home.
- There's a skirmish as some people realize who they are, but they are quickly taken care of (again, without going senshi - the power surge would alert Freiza's army), and they position themselves around the airtight cargo containers.
- When the cargo is jettisoned, so are they; they automatically transform in the harsh space environment (and sprout wings yay), but the transformation energy is lost in the giant outburst of the Taran's impulse drive, and, with luck, Freiza won't notice them, instead choosing to chase the Tarans.
- Things to know:
The Tarans have two general races on their planet: The Therasii (the dominant race; they all have black hair and the majority of them have blue eyes. Black hair and Blue eyes is the preference, for them) and the Kersa (the enslaved race; they have blonde hair and usually have brown eyes; however, only the blonde hair part is the genetic marker). Therasii have all the power, Kersa have absolutely none, and live to serve the Therasii under threats of pain and death and suffering -- all that jazz. Most life a life free of abuse, just filled with endless amounts of chores. Until those new machines were made, anyway.
During the Taran's journeys across the galaxy, they have stopped by many planets and kidnapped the senshi from those planets and a good handful of civilians. The civilians would be sold to Therasii back on Taran and would have a status higher than Kersa for being exotic. Sometimes, a captured civilian of greater status than the others (say, a non-senshi planetary leader, or a confessed sibling of a senshi, or just someone extremely beautiful) is adopted as a Pet for higher ranking Taran officials; these 'pets' were treated as lesser individuals, but above all servants and slaves in status; they didn't work at all, but rather just lived as a unique and exotic companion for their Therasii masters.
The 'battery' compartments look like capsules filled with a green ooze, with the occupant suspended within without any connectors; the energy is transferred from their star seed or sailor crystal through the ooze and into the system at large. Normal batteries (those made from regular people, draining energy from people's star seed) don't offer a whole lot of energy - one hour spent in the chamber produces only 3 days worth of electricity for a household - but drain the occupant (Kersa or exotic slave) completely, and if the occupant is conscious when the process begins, it is obvious that the extraction is incredibly painful. The batteries made of Sailor Crystals produce vast amounts of 'flavored' energy - the energy can be used for any process, but it usually has a higher efficiency when applied to a process that fits with the senshi's powers or personality. Example: Jupiter's powers used in a defensive system (Senshi of Protection), Mars's used in an offensive system (Senshi of War), Mercury's used to power computer banks (Senshi of Wisdom), Venus's used to power the high deck (Senshi of Love, but also leader of the senshi). But the senshi must remain within the capsule in order for the energy to continue its use ((it expires as soon as the senshi is released; it can't keep, as the star seed energy does)).
**The battery capsules made for Senshi have an aftereffect: when a senshi is removed and awakened, she is unable to use any of her powers for a 12-hour timespan. It's a good little side-effect for the Tarans, but sucks for the captured senshi. ...not that they get released all that often.
List of Characters: *Note* When claiming a character, original claimers can get first pick, and their characters are reserved for the next five days. If they do not reclaim by Friday, September 11, their characters are open for claiming by anyone (with the exception of Sailor Saturn, played by Aurae, as she's on LOA but as expressed a wish to finish this XD). When a character is reclaimed, I will bold their character on the list to show they're officially claimed again. If the original claim is not with us anymore, I've removed them from the list and the character is free to claim by anyone immediately. As soon as i get one person to re-sign on with me, I'm requesting revival from the Graveyard; once the revival is approved, I'm moving forward with the next post.

Taken from last few pages of old ooc board XD btw made new one because the last was 14 pages and filled with tiny posts haha - Sailor Uranus wrote:

Also, I mispoke before - they're only out for 12 hours afterward. ((as stated here, in the additional info tab
- Sailor Uranus wrote:
- well, bad news citizens. the file with all my pictures and notes and stuff was on the flashdrive that broke in half a few months ago. Blah.
But, if I remember correctly:
Ranker Wives: Michiru, Rei, Hotaru (posing as a daughter)
Slave: Minako (Haruka?) ((they wouldn't have to dye their blonde hair if they posed as slaves))
Custodians: Gochi, Makoto, (Haruka?)
Medical Staff: Ami
Mechanic: Mamoru, Setsuna
People would must be paired together, no matter what group their in, is the Ranker Wives and the Slaves; the two of them, Minako and Haruka, are too good looking to ever be affordable to the 'staff' of the ship. I'd easily say Haruka with Michiru, whom Mamoru is intending to send with Gochi (because those girls kick chibi and take names before breakfast; Michiru's cunning and believable, so should be able to slip and slide her way out of any situation, and if she can't, well then Haruka's there to back her up. And if Gochi tried anything sneaky or turned on them after finding her brother, or etc. (hey, he's known her for all of, what, two hours? maybe three?) the two of them could handle it easily and still make it to the rest of the group in time. He's got faith in them). I'd pair Minako with both Rei and Hotaru, to act where needed; I'd like to keep both Rei and Hotaru with the main group (or a splinter group if necessary) to provide a believable smokescreen in case they're caught. Probably Minako primarily with Hotaru, because Minako's leadership and acting abilities could make her seem subservient while still hinting to little Hotaru what Hotaru should be doing if she starts to get uneasy or doesn't know what to say.
Mamoru will start training Setsuna right away with the controls in case they must splinter off again after Gochi, Michiru, and Haruka left. If that was the case, he'd probably pair Setsuna with Ami, because those two tech geniuses could pull anything off. With them he'd send any other senshi they meet from other systems, because, while polite and adorable, both of those girls can handle themselves, watch the others, and be scary as hell if they needed to be. ((You're jeopardizing our mission; do you know our princess is at stake? While I dislike the idea of undoing a senshi and abandoning her, I will not hesitate if you mess this up.))
Travelling with Mamoru probably at all times would be Rei; with Usagi in danger, I doubt she'd accept another side mission. Makoto would be another case of "Where do you need me?", I think; being a custodian would allow her the greatest access to areas; she'll probably also stick with Hotaru and Minako to give those girls a reason to be on the lower decks; then again, she could stick with Mamoru and Rei because a Ranker would have no reason to seek out a mechanic, but, as was the case with Michiru, she'd have a reason to find a custodian.
THAT'S THE CURRENT PLAN. XD Questions, comments, concerns?
- Sailor Uranus wrote:
- As soon as we find Uranus the groups will be splitting up. To facilitate this, I'm suggesting we have location or party bands across the top of our posts to keep a solid line on what one person knows verses another. Mamoru'll be divvying out roles like this as soon as they find Uranus, but my intention is to be as I wrote a page or two ago:
First: Small break; Neptune and Mercury split to get Mercury's contacts; Togarishi will be prepping and instructing on the way, while the other members stick around. Togarishii will walk Uranus and Gochi through what to expect and how to act in the ranker quarters. Then it'll go like this:
Togarishii leaves.
Vegeta/Gochi, Uranus and Neptune go to the Rankers quarters of the ship (super fancy~ area) to rescue Tobias. It might take them a while to get back to the main group to keep the timing realistic. Gochi will leave her pack with one of the others.
Mamoru, Pluto, Mercury and Jupiter continue on as Mamoru continues training Pluto on the controls. When their group gets too large (with the addition of senshi both foreign and known), they'll split again, with Pluto and Mercury together (with other senshi), and Mamoru and Jupiter together (with other senshi).
When we find those 'other senshi', we'll worry about their roles.
bringin' this forward XD - Sailor Uranus wrote:

- I totally think bringing in Freiza would totally make it another inescapable situation. Can you imagine him allowing high-powered warriors to walk away from him and live their lives peacefully?
I sort of imagined that Usagi uses her powers of persuasion to take over the ship and deliver everyone home safely? But the Tarans can and want to use her - she's powerless for a certain period of time, and when they find her the others won't have regained their powers yet. The only one that will be fully functioning is Mamoru, and while that would be one beast of an ending for him, I don't know how well it would turn out.
They have no idea how to run the ship, even if Togarishii were to help.
The Tarans would never let them go - Usagi is their key to galaxy domination - they already rule their sector, and while this is their flagship, there are many more where this came from. Even if she persuaded this one ship to turn around, others will come. The commander that relented would be disbanned, and another would take his or her place. They're loyal to Taran, they see senshi as tools; they wouldn't let them go. Their pride at the very least would dissuade them.
If it were just them - just the senshi - that needed to escape, we'd be set. They get into an escape pod and go. They'd be able to return to Earth and maybe somehow find a way to combat them if they turn around. Maybe they'd be ready for them next time. Maybe they could find a way. But the Tarans kidnapped normal people, too. People that they left at the very back of the ship, people that will be sold into slavery to act as batteries for rich people on one of any hundred worlds, with little hope of rescue.
This is a freaking terrible situation. What the heck was I thinking two years ago?! ... probably that this would hurt real good. >D

- I'm not totally sure what i just read but it sounds fun, though I do agree with Venus, bringing Freiza in would be like letting me loose in a Mt. Dew plant. It would be unstoppable..
I can kinda see this as an optional way out though - Mamoru and crew do fail. The Tarans exit the solar system, and jump to high speeds back towards their planet. Sometime in there, the senshi covertly find and free Usagi, fighting quietly to get her out of there. They stumble on the ultimate plans, learn of where they are, and quietly despair. There is no way out for them. The drugs they had to pump into Usagi ((She was like a 9V battery being shoved into a standard 2.5V holder, so they had to knock her out first)) leave her incapacitated, and it's too late for them to save themselves, let alone the people they can't bear to leave behind.
And then alarms go off all over the ship - they are under attack.
It's Freiza.
The Tarans scatter to battle stations, code red alarms screaming in the hallways. Civilians are quarantined to safe areas of the ship as officers bark commands. But nothing is working. Their lasers, their cannons, even their protective fields - everything is offline, thinly veiled by a bit of code. They're doomed, and Togarishii is immediately cursing herself. Why did she ever help him?! How could she have been so stupid? Now they would all die, because of her. Because she helped the quirky hero escape with the only things that would save the ship. Or did he?
Togarishii's entire plot is about how she has developed a new energy source, one that she claims will produce more power than the average star seed energy harnessing system. As things are going offline and Freiza's face appears on all their screens, calling for a full surrender, she jumps into action, rerouting systems that she's been putting in place ever since she set Gochi, Neptune, and Uranus into the Ranker Quarters and attended that meeting. Against the orders of her captain, she reroutes the energy system and holy hell, it works. They set up shields just in time for Freiza's attack, and send their own attacks back their way as technicians run to check out the battery compartments - where were the senshi?!
I'll tell you where they are. XD Togarishii is given command of the communication system, and over a ship-wide loud speaker she's directing other mechanics on how to cue into her energy system to get everything back online, but warns that the cargo bays might need to be jettisoned if they were to get away. (('cause, I mean, Freiza, who would want to actually fight? ... I mean when they get back to their armada, maybe)).
Catching the cue and the subtle send off, Mamoru smiles, silently thanking Togarishii, and gets everyone to run back towards the cargo areas; in their senshi forms, they'd be able to survive the vacuum of space and fly the thing back home. It's not an easy run - once that announcement had been made, they were a ragtag mob of random workers with a few rankers, dashing back towards the jettison area - they were the only ones entering the cargo sections. There's also the unconscious Usagi to tip people off that something was off with them. There's a minor skirmish - no transformations, not yet; they'd sense that. Freiza would sense that - Gochi(and Tobias!) would caution them against it.
But then they're there, standing outside the airlocked door (they always jettison in a way to keep the cargo alive for a few days, to recapture on a recon mission) that holds their Earth citizens, and the citizens of one or two more planets that had been harvested along the way. They're together, they've got their people, and so long as they could escape the battlefield unnoticed, they could fly home. ... thanks to a distraction from Freiza, whom, with good fortune, they would not have to face in battle.
Not yet, anyway.
I SOLVED THE PROBLEM YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

| Wow! I remember this RP starting when I joined GC! I'm so intrigued by this storyline. I have been meaning to work on an advanced profile for Ami / Sailor Mercury anyway. If you don't have someone else in mind, May I claim her?
Just wow by the way. This whole thread...just wow. O-o I love your theorized ending with Frieza attacking the ship and all.

| XD Thanks! And sure, you can claim Mercury! ^^
The request has been approved; it's back in Free Form and I'll be posting tonight or tomorrow with an update post to get everyone on the same page (though I do suggest reading through the RP if anyone wants to join but hasn't read it yet!) |

| Still claim my characters. I need to go back and read, 'cause I forgot what I was going to do with Gochi and Tobias when Frieza shows up. Reading back... I don't think I ever decided, but looks like I was leaning toward Gochi and Tobias capturing the ship in order to get in Freiza's good graces.
How many people would be on the ship after the cargo bays jettison? And how valuable is the technology? |

How many people would be on the ship after the cargo bays jettison? And how valuable is the technology? This is their flagship - the technology is incredibly valuable as the Tarans are very advanced, but I'm thinking they'd self-destruct if faced with capture. x.x that, or, selfishly, I'd like Togarishi to succeed in saving the day using her non-star-seed-powered tech so she can start turning her people away from slavery @.@ Then again, it'd serve the Tarans right to end up captured for everything they've done. If possible, I'd like to make it so Togarishi gets the others off the ship using subterfuge, and once they're off and her systems are online and functioning in ways she could have only dreamed, and she starts the sequence to get them away from Freiza's forces. XD I want her to succeed before Gochi and Tobias break in and capture them, so as she's dying or whatever, she knows that what she had created would have worked. The ship has tens of thousands of people on it; a over half are part of their military, but the rest are scientists or support crews for the vessel and the families of those working on board. It's like a travelling mega-city, complete with schools and shopping plazas, and all that mess. |

| Hey question for you guys? ^^ SO I am fully caught up in the RP. But maybe I missed something. Did Ami ever get her contacts? Is that still the plan or are we going to sort of assume she did and move on? I didn't see any note of that happening yet. Just trying to get my bearings. ^^ |

| We kinda brushed over the event, but yes, she did; I think it was a summary post somewhere, before the groups split up. ^^ So yep, she can totally see and all's good.
! Btw, could you link your approved advanced ami profile here whenever you get the chance? ♥ (kyra lazy and doesn't want to hunt, teehee) |
