[Samus’ Ship]

Leaning back in the pilot’s chair, Samus Aran was just about to call it a day and head back to the small garage she owned on Mars when the red light began to blink on the dash. It was a bounty report – and one meant specifically for her. She considered ignoring it, until she realized it had come from a government channel.

She clicked the button lazily, still unsure if she wanted to accept a new mission, until the holographic screen appeared and she saw the text. Her cerulean eyes went wide as saucers the moment she saw the name ‘Tallon IV’.

She knew of the planet. She knew the Chozo had once colonized it, and she knew better than anyone how dangerous the Chozo’s technology could be if it fell into the wrong hands.

“Mission accepted. I’m en route.” Samus replied over the transmission channel, and then she quickly set course to rendezvous with the Crusader.

Sarai gave a little scream as the table in front of her was blasted apart, instantly the girl threw herself on the ground and covered her head as to not get knocked out by the flying debris. When she was able to look up she caught Connor grabbing the insane waitress' arm and revealing-

"A r-robot?!" Sarai managed, scrambling towards her boyfriend and grabbing a broken chair leg as she did. "G-Get off of Connor!" She exclaimed, slamming down on it's arm, in attempt to smash the limb right off!

[Haven: Kanna’s Apartment]

"I know....." Kanna mumbled with a sigh. She couldn't believe she was admitting this.... "Maybe Ethan is right...Maybe I should actually talk to someone....Or something. And probably quit...Drinking...Augh.....It's too awful to even think about"

She then looked to Rica, suppressing a bitter grin. "And you. You're giving it up too right?"

If she was going to be pushed into the world of forced-sobriety than Rica was too. They could suffer together.

[Omega: Quarantine Zone]

"You know, sometimes you probably should be a bit less eager to run towards the danger" Crystal said, turning to follow Kimi as they suddenly know where they needed to go. She was hesitant, but know Kimi was right; there was no running away now!

“I... No, I do want to!” Galv said, blushing as well, knowing that Melanie was probably going out of her comfort zone. Not that the two teenagers didn't make out, but doing so in a place like this...

Galv may have considered that seemed almost Kanna-ish, but his subconscious mind quickly killed that thought before he could consciously consider it. Instead Galv moved forward to kiss Melanie.

-Omega-

Quarantine Zone

As Crystal and Kimi approached the clinic, the large robot just looked towards them, but didn't make any move to attack them. The door to the clinic was unlocked, and there were several people seen inside. Some humans, some aliens, some of them sitting or laying down, a few others rushing around and tending towards them.

In the middle of it all was a blonde haired woman, the same one from before, directing others and tending to some as well.

Afterlife

“We're looking for some information,” Jimi said, stepping forward now, “We heard you might know where a Quarian named Tali'Zorah is, and possibly some information on who this Archangel is as well...”

-U.T.R. Border Colony-

“They sent an open message to everyone here, they haven't talked to anyone specifically yet,” Peterson answered, once the question got relayed to him, “At least I haven't sent any messages to them.”

He typed at some buttons in his suit, then nodded, “Okay, here's the frequency they sent on. We can send a message back to them with that. I'm a soldier... I don't think I should be taking the lead on this.”

The Ark

The Ark floated in space, as Optimus queue up communications, wondering if he should send another message. The humans hadn't turned and attacked them yet, which was good. Optimus sincerely hoped for peaceful talks.

-Mars-

Ben's ship landed on Mars now, the brown haired figure stepping out and rubbing his head, glancing around, pausing as a familiar old RV was seen, his grandfather leaning against it.

“Grandpa!” Ben grinned, running forward now, “How have you been?”

“Fine, Ben. I see you're still up to no good,” Max smirked, “I managed to get you an audience with the Green Lantern. Called in some old favors with buddies who never left the military.”

Alleyway

In all truth Melanie was a bit surprised that Galv was okay with this. The two were probably the most level-headed in their weird multi-family...family...They were the smart ones, and the only ones (aside from Jacob) that didn't let their hormones get the best of them....Most of the time...

Melanie led Galv into the alley and pushed him against the wall, leaning in and kissing him.

"You know I absolutely love you right?" Melanie managed between kisses. She could feel the boy was very warm (and probably a little bit BSoDy) and enjoyed the warmth herself. It was like sitting under a heated blanket, and made her feel all tingly and nice. She wondered if that was how normal people felt all the time, instead of the low temperature her body was accustomed to (especially thanks to her mother's earlier freakout). She suddenly wanted nothing but to keep herself as warm as Galv was. She moved even closer, all the while keeping her lips locked on his.

Unfortunately Melanie was fully aware she couldn't get as warm as she wanted without getting uncomfortable. She could already feel her temperature raising and thanks to this the coat she was buttoned up to the neck before was becoming a nuisance. With what can only be described as Kanna-like flexibility (ew not like that) she undid the jacket and tossed it to the ground without breaking the make-out session.

Melanie then paused....Realizing that she had just practically shimmied out a piece of clothing waaaaaay too fast WHILE making out with him. Sure it was just a coat....But in her mind she had just hit like second base or something! Instantly the girl's face went bright red and she no longer needed Galv to keep her warm (her face was doing it for her now).

Reacting quickly to her perceived miss-step Melanie dropped to the ground and grabbed her coat, continuing to kneel for a few moments in order to hide her embarrassment.

-Omega-


Quarantine Zone

For a second Crystal clutched her fists, ready to use her bending if need be to protect she and Kimi from the robot, but when it made no move to attack she relaxed her hands and looked around. It looked as if they were in some sort of weird mix of bunker, clinic and safe house... No one seemed to be much of a threat, in fact many of them looked worse for wear.

In the middle of it all was a blonde woman...Crystal had no clue if she was in charge but she seemed like a good person to ask in order to find this Jenny-woman.

"Uh...Hello.....We're looking for someone named Jenny"

-Mars-

Ben rushed towards Max, Gwen doing to same. They hadn't seen their grandfather in awhile and she was just as excited to see him.

"Grandpa!" Gwen exclaimed, hugging the man as she always did, before moving back.

Jade followed out of the ship, hanging back for a moment and giving the Tennysons their time. She grinned at the quick reunion before joining the group.

Didymus nodded, though Peterson couldn't see it.

"Understood...I suppose I DO have some experience with diplomacy from my time on the Forum and on Mobius, but..." he had just gotten a transmission about an assignment the Crusader now had elsewhere, and that Samus was on her way...

"...I can talk to them if they desire, but I also will be entertaining the galaxy's finest bounty hunter soon..." he said. "...there's a planet called Tallon IV in a nearby system that want us to monitor her investigating..."

He began to fly back to the Crusader and prepared himself to welcome Samus.

"Oh, and Asuka..." he said over comlink.

"...good job. Thanks for covering that flank, pretty much by yourself. Made things a lot simpler."

[Haven: Restaurant]

The robotic waitress dropped Connor on the ground, and the boy rolled on his side and started coughing. He felt horrible after having been choked by a robot!

The robot, meanwhile, turned towards Sarai. It’s arm was damaged but not broken off, and it lunged at her!

[Haven: Kanna’s Apartments]

Rica wanted to point out that his powers would mean he could keep on drinking without the same dangerous side-effects that Kanna faced… but he knew that she needed him to quit. At least if they did this together she would have the moral support.

“… Yeah, I’ll give it up too.” Rica sighed, running his hand through his hair. “And I’ll even talk to a shrink too if it’ll convince you to talk to someone.”

[Omega: Quarantine Zone]

Kimi didn’t say a word; just standing and staring at the blonde. She was curious if this was Jenny, but Kimi had never actually met her.

[Omega: Afterlife]

Aria’s eyebrow rose. “… That’s quite a tall order. I know the Quarian, or at least where you can find her. As for Archangel… I could definitely help you out there, assuming he’s still alive.”

She leaned forward. “The question is, why should I? What’s in it for Aria?”

[UTR Border Colony]

“I’ll talk to these ‘Autobots’.” Admiral Hackett’s voice came over the com-link. “I was just informed of your assignment, Colonel Didymus. You focus on Aran.”

Hackett then attempted to hail the Ark…

Asuka, meanwhile, gave a slight grin – although no one could actually see her at the moment.

“Thanks for giving me the chance… sir.” Asuka replied quietly.

[Mars]

“You were able to get the meeting with Stewart? Damn. Your grandfather has connections.” Rex whistled, impressed.

“You have no idea.” Kevin just shook his head.

"Yes sir." Didymus replied to Hackett, himself reading over the situation/briefing...

“Thanks for giving me the chance… sir.”

Didymus was still confused by Asuka's behavior, but decided to keep the ball rolling as he docked with the Crusader again.

"Of course..." he said. "...it was prudent decision, apparently. Come on back to the Crusader, maybe we can have a cool drink before a guest arrives..." he said.

He had to make preparations to receive her, and was thankful he could focus on that rather than any casualty control or repairs-the ship had done VERY well in the previous battle...

While Sarai was happy that she was able to knock the robot hard enough that it dropped her boyfriend to the ground it was not enough to put it totally out of commission. It moved forward to attack her and Sarai slammed down on the chair leg once again. "G-Get away!" she yelped, trying to catch a glimpse of Connor to be certain he was alright.

She still had NO clue why this was happening, but she was aware that she needed to find a stronger weapon than a piece of a chair!

[Haven: Kanna’s Apartments]

“… Yeah, I’ll give it up too. And I’ll even talk to a shrink too if it’ll convince you to talk to someone.”

Kanna shook her head, sitting up fully in the bed and placing her bare feet on the ground. "While I appreciate that second offer the issues I have don't just relate to NERV....I'm not talking to some stranger about them."

While Kanna was pretty messed up from NERV (like most of the other people she spent time around) she also spent years before and after not in the best situations. She had awful parents (at least in her opinion), was a runaway at thirteen, pregnant for the first time at 17 and widowed before she was twenty-five. She didn't need anyone confirming her life had been a mess- she knew that on her own.

"Would you really want to lie on some couch and talk about your daddy-issues?" Kanna asked, reaching for the glass of water Melanie left.

[TRS Crusader]

A small, but exceptionally powerful Gunship[ soon came into view, flying towards the Crusader. It was recognizable at once, but the ship still broadcast the proper security clearance codes.

“Requesting permission to dock.” Samus called over to the Crusader, over the com-link.

[Haven: Restaurant]

Connor was struggling for air, but as he looked up he saw the strange robot waitress attacking Sarai! She was fighting the mechanical monster back with a chair, but she looked to be in trouble.

“Leave her alone!” Connor pounced on the waitress, trying to knock her away from Sarai. It was clear this thing was some kind of robot, so Connor didn’t mind attacking it!

As he knocked the waitress robot down, she hit the ground hard and seemed to stop moving; but from the other side of the restaurant the back door opened and several chefs came out. Connor had a sneaky suspicion they were probably robots too.

“R-Run, Sarai!”

[Haven: Kanna’s Apartment]

“If I had to.” Rica shrugged. He had done much worse for far less noble reasons. He looked over at Kanna, and sighed.

“Whatever you do… whatever WE do, it has to be something. Those new babies out there… they actually have a shot at a semi-normal life. Or at least a life without all the bullsh*t. That won’t happen if you’re a drunk and I’m a criminal.”

Samus was given permission to dock, and Didymus had made as many preparations as he could to meet her-getting himself changed out of his pilot's suit at least.

He wondered if Asuka would mind having Samus on board. He remembered she got a little defensive when he was playing a game based on her exploits one time...but that was a long time ago...

With a hiss the docking bay doors opened and Samus walked out onto the Crusader. There was a pair of marines waiting for her. She stepped forward, her armored feet echoing on the ground.

“I was told to rendezvous with your CO.” Samus said simply.

The marines took Samus to the Crusader's war room, and Didymus was there to greet her.

"Ah, Miss Aran, good day." he said. "I was told that this assignment would come our way literally minutes ago, I suppose they just noticed we were in the area. In a few moments the Crusader will be making the relatively short jump to Tallon IV. From this file that they sent me, and you, for that matter...most of these people you'll be looking for are college students. They took very very basic equipment-and appearently no weapons, nothing reported at least. Depending on the ecosystem down there it isn't out of the question that wildlife got them. Still, if they're alive, they'll need your help. They DID apparently take ONE ship's worth of modular components to make a small main lab or bunkhouse or whatever they used it for, in addition to a lot of smaller, lighter, temporary shelters and such..."

He paused.

"But they appeared to be enamoured with the chozo more than is healthy-and I say that not as a slight against the chozo, but with the knoweldge that their ruins could have all manner of secrets-whether it be well-armed maruaders, ancient booby traps and trials, and other things...as one of the foremost experts on the chozo, I think that's why you were called in." he said.

"So your mission will be to find the fates of the expedition, and rescue any survivors. We'll be monitoring and providing support from here. Any questions?"

[TRS Crusader]

Samus entered the war room quietly and approached Didymus. She was eager to learn of the details. The UTR were quite formidable in their own right, and it was rare they called on her unless it was a matter that required her specific skill set.

And as Didymus explained the details, it was clear this was one of those cases. Tallon IV was an extremely dangerous planet just from the local flora and fauna; but the remains of the chozo ruins there added in a special kind of danger that few could hope to survive.

“Damn,” Samus shook her head within her helmet. “Not the first time overzealous explorers have found themselves in trouble because of chozo ruins.”

Although Samus had great love for the chozo – her adopted people – she knew how dangerous they had been. They had gone to great lengths to keep their knowledge secret, and even she was apprehensive about treading into their old temples.

“What’s the time table on this?” Samus asked. “When did the students first arrive, and how long after that did they lose contact? And how long between then and now?”

She was well aware that the answers to some of those questions might not be known, but she hoped Didymus had the answers. The timeline would be her best clue as to whether she was looking for the students… or their bodies.

“Not the first time overzealous explorers have found themselves in trouble because of chozo ruins.”

"Yes, I've heard everything from adventure-movie quality booby traps to ghost stories about chozo ruins...not sure how much of it I believe, but...well, I KNOW that the trials and defense systems are fact, I'm enough of a fan of your exploits to know THAT...as for ghost stories...it's a possibility. Something like that at least." he said.

He wasn't sure if that was the right thing to say-he hadn't always gotten along with Samus, and several factors had somewhat reduced his fanboy/celebrity crush on her, but the comment slipped out all the same. He remembered he STILL had that signed picture of her in his office...but where it once stood on his desk was now a the picture he and Asuka had taken together at that EarthCom ball...

"I...don't have every answer, again, I found out about this mission MINUTES ago so you probably know as much about it as me. That said, let me see...it appears that it's been roughly 10 days since they last made any outside contact...the scan indicating the small generator they took is offline was performed about 13 hours ago...their little expedition apparently touched down...about 25 days ago..."

He shook his head.

"So they had a little over two weeks at least to explore and get into trouble. I wish we could give you more info on what to expect, but sadly we don't know too much about the situation ourselves. As one who was RAISED by the chozo-"

AND shares their DNA... he suddenly remembered, realizing that the chozo had developed ways of "modifying" the human genome as well...

"-YOU may know more about what to expect from the chozo ruins than anyone else here."

“I wish it were that simple. I suppose I DO have a better idea of what to expect than someone else would, but…”

Samus shook her head beneath the helmet. “The chozo didn’t have anywhere near the numbers that we do, but they were widespread. There were numerous chozo sects on different planets. It’s entirely possible that the ones on Tallon IV were nothing likes the ones I knew.”

She went quiet. While there was much she admired about the chozo, she knew that the way they spread themselves so thin and so far apart had been a huge part of the reason they were gone now.

Closing her eyes, she forced those thoughts away.

“If they’re alive, I’ll find them, you can count on that. Do you know how many people were on the expedition?”
