Genocide

[DeadlyMiddie]

The Force Recon Marines disembarked from their shuttle and looked around the hangar of Hell Frozen Over. They spotted the science team and double-timed it over to them. The marines saluted to the leader of the expedition, "Sir, I'm Lieutenant Hawkins of Force Recon 1. We're your escort for this mission."
"Very good. Are we clear to take off?"
"Yes, sir."

The Marines sat in the cargo hold of the dropship. They would be the first ones to disembark and secure a perimeter before the science team disembarked.

General Lynx watched the dropship descend into the atmosphere on his scanners. He noted their LZ, then turned to his comms officer. "I want a gunship in the air for CAS if things get hairy."
"Will do, sir."

On the Dresden, the marines had quelled the riots and retaken the engine room. The dissidents had only been armed with a few pistols. The marines were ordered to remain on the ship as a security force.

Halifax watched through the dropship viewscreen as it descended. He was going personally; his second in command, Ferrel, would handle the ship logistics. He had heard of riots on other ships. His scientists were much more reasonable and logical. He stood up as he neared the ground and walked over to Hawkins. "Lieutenant, a word please," he said.

"Yes sir," he responded.

"I'm not your superior, so a simple yes would suffice." Halifax looked at the viewscreen again for a moment. "We are not here to wage war, we are here to make contact and study them. I want no threatening gestures and movements."

"With all respect, what if they're hostile?"

"Then we retreat." Halifax paused. "And I highly doubt any of your heavy equipment will be necessary, Hawkins. They're pre-industrial. The best they'll have is powder cannons, if that."

The dropship began to rumble as it entered the lower atmosphere.

OOC: CLEAR! BZZZZZT

The dropship landed and the marines ran out, forming a perimeter around it. Immediately, 2 of the reptiles began approaching from the forest. Hawkins keyed his microphone, "uh, doc, possible hostiles approaching. What do you want us to do?" At the same time, Hawkins began patching a live feed through to Sword of Vengeance and Star of Terra.

Blinking rapidly, the creatures approached. Stopping several meters away, they both extended their right hands, palm-down, fingers splayed.

[Professor Fenway]

Hendrix exited the craft and activated his headset. "They appear to be unarmed," he said. "Fall back, but keep an eye out." As the marines moved back, Hendrix moved towards the two natives, cautiously, stopping about ten meters away. He looked at the nearest native. "Hello, we are from Earth," he said. He doubted they would understand, but it was worth a try. He unclasped his canteen of water from his belt and set it down in front of him, opening it, before stepping back a few feet.

The farming scythe bit is about 150 meters in length. Behind the 'head' of the ship, there are two plates fixed to the top of the head that hold cargo containers, they are separated by a roughly 10 meter gap, and extend about 5 meters beyond the width of the head. They extend back roughly 350 meters and connect to the top of the 'Engineering section' that houses the reactor the engines and etc. the engineering section is about 50 meters by 50 meters by 100 meters((I think that's the right order)).

Two characters yes, but only one commander per vessel to prevent.... issues.

The left creature stepped forwards, apparently saying something; in an almost musical tone. It reached to its tunic, drew out a small stone, and held it forwards.

[DeadlyMiddie]

Hawkins watched the reptiles closely, looking for signs of hostility. When the creature held the rock up, he raised his rifle slightly. The creature seemed unfazed. The creature then looked curiously at Jahgrin's canteen, the Jahgrin himself. The creature cocked its head and gestured toward the dropship, then the sky.

"This is Jochen Luemas, captain of The Stellar Heart reporting in as per request." Jochen recited in a monotonous voice, seeming quite disinterested in the formalities.

"Uh, Jochen, we're about a week overdue for crew satisfaction reports." Eckhardt mentioned standing behind his brothers chair.

"See if you can get Benedikt, Elia, Reinhold, Arnold, and Evelyn to hand those out." Jochen replied, looking as if he were distracted by his train of thought.

[Professor Fenway]

Hendrix pointed to himself, the dropship, and then the sky, reaffirming the creature's gestures. He picked up a stick and drew a circle, before adding lines within it. It quickly took a familiar shape; Earth. He wrote EARTH next to it, then pointed to it. "Earth," he said. He pointed to himself. "We are from Earth." He pointed back to the drawing.

The creature peered at the drawing, then looked up at Hendrix, pointing back behind itself. It spoke a short phrase, then stooped down, picking up the stick, and drew what looked to be a small house.

It repeated the phrase, and gestured for Hendrix and company to follow it.
