Ghost Town

Ryder runs up the loading ramp and installs his own clip of the glowing ammo into his assault rifle. He opens up on a few shadows near Mortal.

Ryder: "Yeah, well, let's try not to get added to the M.I.A. list. Let's move, Sergeant!"

Jade runs up and holds out her arms, which erupt in biotic power at the same time as the loading ramp. The ramp starts to move up slowly to give Mortal time to climb up.

OOC: Sorry for ignoring this RP for the past couple of days.

Mortal loads her clip, and follows after Ryder, before turning and firing upon some of the shadows as well to keep them from following after her.

--

Dura grabbed Zell by her arm and pushed her in the direction of the ship as she used a Biotic shockwave to keep the shadows at bay. As soon as Zell got on board, Noct and Dura both used biotic pushes to clear the surrounding area before getting on board and locking up the ship.

"We all accounted for? If so I'm going to rip open the bulkhead doors."

Ryder helps cover the ramp with Mortal as Jade raises it up. When she gets it closed, Ryder turns back to Quill.

Ryder: "Blast the bastards into space!"


~Anchorage~

Linox uses his Omni-Tool to light up the room and steps back as clawing starts on the other side of the door.

Linox: "We need to quickly seal any vents in the ship."

Linox launches an explosion of ice from his Omni-Tool, sealing the ventilation access next to him.

Quill's eyes spill biotic energy as he exerts his will on the bulkheads causing them to buckle and collapse drastically destabilizing the atmospheric pressure in the ship.

*The bulkheads buckle some, but not enough to cause an opening. They are too heavy for one biotic.*

Ryder watches the loading ramp door as the ship is just surrounded by scratching noises like the shadows are trying to claw their way into the vessel. Jade notices Quill struggling to open the bulkheads and tries to focus her own mind on them as well.

Jade: "They're so heavy...we need more help!"

OOC: I actually had a plan here xD. It involved over exertion.

Quill continues to rip into the doors.

Ily shouts something at Linox about messing with her ship as she closed, and secured all the outward ventilation on the ship from the cockpit. As she looked out at the surrounding area on her monitor she noticed that the bulkheads were beginning to crumble, "Oh, I think I see what they're doing. Noct, I think some biotics are trying to flush these guys out into space, but it looks like they're not up for the challenge alone."

Dura and Noct gave each other a quick nod before lending their strength to the crushing force of the bulkhead.

ooc: lol sorry, had this plan all ready in my head. Biotics = the Jedi of the Mass Effect universe.

*The bulk heads start to give way to the combined efforts of the four biotics. They manage to tear the bulkheads apart and force an opening in the hangar, straight out into space. Marines and mercenaries still fighting the creatures outside of ships are quickly sucked out with the mist. The shadow creatures dig their claws into the ground to try and hold on, but they eventually suck out as well. The only ones still inside are holding on to the landing gears of the ships, including the Anchorage and the Edios.*

Ryder and Jade watch as the Marines fly out into space. Jade looks away and buries her face into Mortal's chest. A loud metallic sounds resonates in the hanger as one of the bulkheads caves in.

Ryder: "Oh, that is not good..."

*The bulkhead crumbles and gets sucked out into space, leaving the hangar drastically exposed. The mist quickly sucks out, with the shadows still holding on to the ships inside. Soon another metallic sound pierces the ears of those still on board, a scraping sound. The Anchorage begins to slide across the Hangar floor until it finally kicks up into the air and get sucked out into space. The Edios soon starts to slide as well, smashing into the remaining bulkhead door and spinning around and out through the massive opening. Along with every other ship in the Hangar, the crews onboard the small vessells are now adrift in space. Stuck in the atmosphere of Rexil, they're headed on a crash course with the surface.*

Mortal held on to Jade as the ship bumped into the remaining bulkhead, reaching her hand out for something stable to keep her footing she found that the Ovisian had taken it, helping everyone stand their ground. After the shock of impact wore off Mortal shot a look at Quill, "Alright ace-pilot, get you're ass in gear."

--

Ily was frantically checking to make sure her ship was working. She had no problem dying if it was her time to go, but she would not allow, in ANY circumstance, herself and her friends to die in a crash aboard a ship she was piloting.

Quill teetered and braced himself against the wall as blood trickled from his nose. "Overexerted myself again" He was about to pass out when the metal scraping brought him back to reality. He nodded to Mortal and got behind the controls of the ship.

~Anchorage~

*The Anchorage does not respond to any controls and commands of Iliad.*

Linox: “I suggest bracing for impact!”

Linox straps himself into the nearest chair and starts breathing deeply as the Anchorage breaks the stratosphere and has gained more speed.


~Edios~

*The Edios has no power and does not respond to any commands that Quill would try. The Edios breaks Rexil’s stratosphere with the rest of the Hangar contents.*

Ryder looks out to see the ground quickly approaching. He grabs the two nearest to him, Jade and the Ovisian, and starts to drag them towards the center of the ship.

Ryder: “These runner-class frigates have panic rooms, it’s our best shot! Quill, Mortal, move your asses!”

"Fuck!!" Quill bitterly stops trying and follows Ryder's lead.

OOC: Guess Script got sucked into ME3.

Ryder opens up the panic room in the cargo hold and starts piling everyone in.

Ryder: "Move, get inside! Not much time!"

Despite knowing nothing would work, Ily continues to try and gain control of the ship the entire way down.

As the others find themselves strapping in and bracing for impact, Noct and Dura do their best to try and use biotics to keep the ship stable, and slow its understandably intense decent.

--

Mortal only headed for the room after making sure Quill was getting inside as well. Quickly she hunkered in, and braced for impact.

"Worried about me?" Quill asked Mortal. There was only the slightest of amused tones in his voice. Most of it sounded closer to being flattered however.

~Anchorage/Meadow~

*The attempts of the biotics to slow down the Anchorage helps slow the descent. The ship comes in at an angle, allowing it to bounce off the many hills in the plains and meadows of Rexil, until it finally comes to a crashing stop in a meadow. Rexil's capitol city, Calcomani, is towering in the distance, about 13 miles away.*

Linox bounces around his seat violently as the Anchorage makes contact with the surface. If it wasn't for the safety harness, he would have made contact with the many sidings of the room and been killed. He does manage to bash his head against the wall behind him, blooding starting to flow out from the gash.

Linox: "That went better than expected. Still painful, will need help with medical procedure."

He evaluates as he feels the back of his stinging head and looks around at the rest of the crew who have likely suffered similar cuts and bruises from their own flailing or loose objects flying around the cabin.


~Edios~

*The Edios crashes hard onto the surface of Rexil. Inside the panic room, the crew was bounced around harshly. Jade and the Ovisian have been knocked unconscious, while the rest of the crew took a beating and are no doubt disoriented.*

When the chaos finally stops, Ryder finds himself lying on the ground with the rest of the team. He manages to get himself up a bit to sit against the wall. His head is spinning and feels like it is about to burst open.

Ryder: "Damn that hurt. I guess panic rooms are really only for panicking. Is everyone all right?"

The impact knocks Quill out temporarily but he wakes in short order finding himself on top of Mortal. The force of impact seems to have temporarily rendered him unable to recall if it happened before the crash due to him grabbing and covering her to help her brace for impact or if he landed on her during impact.

"This one is find... errr... I'm fine" he slides off Mortal before she has a chance to protest his being on her.

Noct and Dura had the foresight to wrap themselves in stasis fields, but not enough foresight to do so for anyone else. As such, Zell had a gash on her left temple, and Ily damn near killed herself, knocking her head against the command console, where she was unconscious even now.

Dura released her biotics and rushed to Zell to see if she was alright, "How bad is it?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine, just got a little banged up..."

Noct returned from the cockpit with a grim look, "Iliad is still breathing, but appears to be knocked out," She said before turning towards Linox, "How are you doctor? You seem to be bleeding."

--

The entire time Edios was plowing through the atmosphere the Ovisian had done her best to try and distance herself from the rest of the crew. She didn't want to injure any of them, figuring it would be horrible to survive a crash landing from space, only to be gored to death by a random Ovisian horn. Without anyone there to brace her however, she found herself banged up after the crash, leaning against the far wall with a trail of blood coming from her nose.

Mortal didn't plan on holding onto Quill, but when he fell on top of her, knocked out, Mortal did her best to support him, wrapping him up in a tight embrace. When the dust settled she was a bit happy to see that he was alright. Standing up as well she gave the room a once over, and nodded towards Ryder, "I'm fine. Jade and the Ovisian seem to have suffered the most," Mortal said, walking over to the Ovisian, "Check on the girl, make sure she is alright."

The Ovisian awoke to a gentle shake and the sound of a vaguely familiar voice. Instantly she brought her hand to her nose, where she felt a sharp pain. To her surprise, it wasn't broken, just a bit banged up. She checked her horns next, good news on that front as well.

"Hey, can you hear me? I asked if you were alright," Mortal repeated.

"Y-yes, I'm fine. A little worse for wear, but I can move," She replied, having no desire to prove her claim, as she continued to sit down right where she was.

"Good to hear," Mortal extended a hand, "The name is Mortal Dulces."

Begrudgingly the Ovisian accepted the hand, wanting to stay seated for just a bit longer after that crash, "Sab Rosa, a pleasur--" She felt a sharp pain in her ankle as she tried to put any pressure on it.

"What hurts?" Mortal asked, putting her back down.

"My ankle."

After a few twists, and 'Does this hurt, how about now?'s Mortal let out a small sigh of relief, "You'll be fine, it is just a sprain. Walk it off." With that, Mortal helped her back up, but braced her slightly, so she wouldn't be totally on her own.

"Thank you. What about everyone else? Who else is hurt?"

"What are the odds that whatever that shadow creature was on the ship didn't mess up the atmosphere on Rexil and make it uninhabitable?" Quill asks with sudden concern for if they'd be able to breathe out there or not.

Mortal shrugged, then felt bad instantly when she remembered she had Sab's arm around her shoulder, "Sorry, I didn't mean to shrug you off."

"I didn't think you did."

"Anyway, at the very worst case we all have breathers in our helmets. We'll wear those then see if the air is breathable."

Linox stands up and looks around the crew. He nods to Noct's question as he walks past her into the cockpit.

Linox: "Fine, just need help treating it. I should check on pilot, may be worse than she looks."

Linox does a physical evaluation of Iliad and then activates his Omni-Tool to scan her vital signs and look for any abnormalities.

Linox: "Slight head trauma, will be dizzy when she come to. Should be fine though. Just apply some to the wound."

He pulls out a few Medi-Gel and passes it to Noct. He turns around to reveal the gash in his head for her to treat.


----------------------------------------


Ryder moves over to Jade and checks her vitals. She's breathing and shows no signs of internal bleeding, but his attempts at waking her are unsuccessful.

Ryder: "She's out cold. Moving her could worsen her state, but if we have to move, I can carry her."

Ryder stands up and opens up the panic room door. The interior of the Edios is wrecked, with loose debris scattered everywhere and smashed into consoles. He takes a wiff of the air. There's at least no hull breaches.

Ryder: "Doubt the atmosphere is in danger. It wasn't affected on the Zermic. But we should be cautious when we go out."

As Noct was applying the medi-gel she said, "Thank you for checking on Iliad, I appreciate your concern for my crew."

--

Mortal nodded, "Agreed."

Sab looked around for a second before she asked, "Can anyone contact the Zermic. I tried signalling them through comms but got nothing, but perhaps my line is offline."

"Its probably trashed. I doubt there's any survivors Sab" he walked over to her and, out of the blue, gently touched her horns. "You have pretty horns~"

Linox feels Noct finish up the treatment and turns around.

Linox: "No need to thank me. Part of the job, field medic and scientific expert. I can tend to wounded, you should try to hail the Zermic and find out our location. May be more of those things here on surface, we should mobilize quickly."

Linox takes a deep breath and turns to patch up some of Iliad's wounds with his medi-gel.


--------------------


Ryder puts on his helmet and smiles as his tactical display comes up on his helmet's visor. The rest of his unit used to make fun of his reliance on technology for his operations, but he always shrugged it off. He had the skills to do without it, but he was always better with it.

Ryder: "That's a good question... Zermic come in. This Lt. Ryder Farressien with the Fourth Turian Fleet, does anyone copy? Zermic come in, we've crash landed on Rexil, what's your status? No answer... most of the crew flew out of the hangar with us, but the bridge was fully staffed."
