The shell of a young man walked into a bar in Sedina D-14 Sedina V hold. His suit was tattered and dirty and he smelled of body odor. His hair was scruffy and dark brown in color. He walked slowly, his head slightly learning forward facing the floor, his eyes scanning the room back and forth.
For the lieutenant of a major Itani guild, this was very inappropriate. But if anyone else had known the circumstances they would not have given his appearance a second thought. The guild which he held the position of peaceful lieutenant had almost completely fallen apart. Almost all the members had left for another guild SKV. To make matters worse, the young mans wife had been gone for over 2 weeks in Mentana on a forced family reunion. Although he didn't know where in Mentana. He did not go with her, because her father had still not developed a liking for him, and he figured it'd be best not to cause a problem. The last contact he had with her was over a week ago.
He was beginning to lose what was left of his sanity. He would be awoken in the middle of the night by the voice of his love sofia, as his warthog drifted through space. He’d look up, droopy eyed at the single picture he had of her taped to the main window of the cockpit of his warthog. A single tear drop would fall from his right eye and slide down his cheek, to land on his dirty suit. You would not expect a man of his position to cry, but in reality, he was very much dependent on the one he loved.....
”sofia.....” whispered the young man
Over and over again he would whisper
”sofia sofia sofia” to himself as he would fall back asleep.
The young man sat down at the bar, a young pilot, nearly half the mans age looked at him oddly and said
“Hey man, ever hear of a shower, they have them for free in the bathrooms at the station”
The young man swiftly grabbed the young pilot by the collar of his suit, bringing him close to his face and spoke, spraying the pilot with saliva
“Do you have any idea what the F**K I’ve been through. The guild I belong to is falling apart, my wife is millions of miles away, and I have not spoken to her for over a week. We haven’t been this far apart in 10 years! Don’t you DARE tell me to take a shower!”
The young man threw the pilot to the floor of the bar and stumbled out of the bar back to his warthog sniffling as his eyes began to fill with tears. He wiped his eyes with his right arm and continued down the hall to his ship. He got into his warthog without even paying the man who had refueled his ship and turboed out of the bay before the safety clamps could release, breaking them and sending pieces of them flying about the bay.
The young man drifted off into space. When he was aways off, he warped out of the sector to an empty sector to drift and think.
He was beginning to lose what was left of his sanity...........

Other than that, good work. Keep it up MG.

*pats MGI on the back* Its okay man, you'll make it.
As the warthog drifted, the young man sat and thought. He thought about how much he missed the one he loved. Every minute was a minute closer to when she'd call again, possibly to say she would be home soon. But every minute, was also another minute that his heart hurt. He longed to hear her voice, to feel her skin, to kiss her....but he could not. He could not even call, because he didn't know what number to call. She would be all over Mentana with her family.
The young man looked down at his console. He wondered why he was still trying, why he didn't just go up to mentana and find her. But he knew that was a waste. He didn't have the credits to pay for a carrier ticket to mentana. Even if he did, he'd never find her, and without his ship, he'd have no communication link to be contacted at.
Suddenly, the console blinked and the incoming transmission alarm went off. To the young mans surprise, it was a call from sofia.
He scrambled to press the accept button, which he did. They spoke for 22 minutes. The longest out of all the times they had spoken since she had gone to Mentana. The young man spoke to sofia of how is doing much better since the last time they spoke, although he still misses her dearly. Sofia told the man how she got him a shirt from mentana, this touched the young man, and comforted him to know his wife has truely been thinking of him. A simple thing like a shirt, especially in these times of capital ships shooting lasers, xith dust being sold for 250k credits per dime bag by old crazy men saying it has special powers to heal your wounds, and hive bots making more hive bots, well a simple thing like a shirt shows much caring and love. They continued to speak of how they missed each other,and how they loved each other so much, and how sofia would be home soon, and it would be ok.
It was time for sofia to go, as the call was very long distance, and she was calling from a call station, she said she would call again in a few days. They exchanged I love you's and good byes and they hung up the phone.
For some reason, the young man did not feel sad this time. For he knew sofia knew he was doing much better, and she would be home soon. But one thing was for sure, tonight, the young man would sleep good and tonight, he would not cry.
For the first time in days, he would sleep well, knowing sofia would sleep well too. The young man smiled happyly at the picture of sofia on the window of the warthog. He put his head back, and smiled, as he difted to sleep, dreaming of the love of his life.......sofia.

McDuff wanders acrost the Itani's ship. "Hey an abondoned warthog... hrmm target practice or salvage?" he says to himself.
Then suddenley the sun dissapears. He looks twards the blocked out sun with his binoculars, real glass and steel ones from earth made for use during WWII. The hefty antique shows him what his ships sencers could not, 5 leviatians and their full complement of hive bots at well over 8km.
"Damn!" he says to himself as he jams an old beer can agenst the jury rigged turbo in his old moth as he goes off to start up the jump drive. The moth, covered in makeshift hull patches with a wrecked gov bus welded on for a hood ordiment speeds away at 250m/s, bumping the itani's warthog as it was too much effor to stear the junker around the empty hog. "Looks like the extra thrusters are working" he thought, amazed that the liquid hydrogen/oxygen fueled boosters didn't explode or rip off of the side of his ship.
He bareley manages to shut down his redneck err..."custom" booster thrusters before they would overheat and blow up. But now he has another problem. The damn jump drive isn't working again. Infuriated he kickes the controle panel with his workboot several times and the drive roars to life.
Then Mcduff notices something as the drive is ramping up. That old abondoned hog is maneuvering around. "Hrmm automatic self defense manevours. I wonder who programmed that? Dosen't matter the hive is about to unprogram the hell outa it." He thinks to himself not knowing that the Itani inside was meditating and wouldent show up on his scans. He then gives the console one final thump to engage the jump drive and lived to collect scrap and drink another day.

Tequeeela?
While I'm a bit of a stickler for spelling too, I try to focus on the content here. I'd hate to have us be the kind of forum where people are belittled for their spelling and grammar while their ideas go ignored.
Yeah Leber, way to kick a guy while he's down. Jerk.

Anyway, still comin good MGI...I can't wait for that ending :)

FM I'll post a RP story soon and I fully expect everyone to be harshly critical of it, I especially look forward to being belittled for my spelling. Yay!
It's ok, I know my speeling socks. Fm, you can make spelling comments if you wanna, I'd rather have it from you then some other person who's gonna make fun.
I'll tell you a secret: Sometimes, when something is so full of typos that it's nearly incomprehensible, I go in and fix all the spelling errors I can. Ya...let's not dwell on what that says about me...
EDIT: Er...I was thinking more along the lines of secretly helping the non-English speaking and spellchecker-deprived folks, but appearing a little retentive when I publicly admit to doing it.
Anyway, keep the stories coming!

/me is both, non Englsih-speaking and deprived of a proper english spellchecker (tryed to put the d... thing to work in German and Englsih but it sticks to Spanish and I'm too lazy to compile Openoffice) :P
Stop hi-jacking my role play thread
Way to kill poor MGI's thread macguy. Jerk.
Perhaps we should find out more about this young man. We'll call him Jimmy from this point on.
Jimmy was born in Setalli Shinas sector L-12 Oan Research. His date of birth is unknown.
His mother and father were both scientists at Oan Research. Although almost all Itani were, and still are apposed to technology, they have learned to tolerate what little research is done. Mainly for wepons, defensive materials(Xithricite Alloy for the hulls of ships), and research into minerals.
Jimmy grew up and lived an average childhood. When he was 13 nearly 14 years old, he met sofia. He was sitting at his computer after school, and was chatting on the intergalatic network, when he entred a chat room, casually looking for a girl to chat with. He met a girl by the name of sofia. They spoke for a few hours, and exchanged holograms of each other (miniature representations of themselves). Jimmy continued to talk with her for many months afterwards. He talked to her about problems with his current girlfriend, and she gave advice. Eveuntly, Jimmy was single, and after speaking over the intergaltic voice network for many months(they had moved on to voice chatting over text chatting within weeks of meeting on the network), they had grown very fond of each other.
Sofia just so happened to be going to a wedding of a family friend in Setalli Shinas sector E-13 Setalli's Path. Sofia's mother had also grown somewhat fond of Jimmy and decied to let them met each other in person at the wedding, and the reception.
As the night went on, the two young itani had realized that they were more then just fond of each other. As odd as it was, when Jimmy and sofia's eyes met, well they had fallen in love.
Sparing you all the continued mushyness, Jimmy had asked sofia out, despite the fact that she lived in Cantus. They continued to go out, and met on holidays and during the summer for a week at a time each. Jimmy would stay at sofia's house in Cantus. Before they knew it they had been going out for 2 years, and then 4, and then 5, and then one night, Jimmy proposed to sofia. Sofia accepted as she burst into tears and they hugged each other.
The whole point to this story is that they had grown up together, through almost all of their teen years. They had bonded immensely in this time.
This is the reason Jimmy had been so close with sofia, and being apart from her tore him up inside.

BUMP!
It had been a few days since since Jimmy's last contact with sofia. He had begun to worry.
Then just as he was about to doze off to he got an alert of an incoming transmission from an unknown source. He accepted the the transmission, and was shocked at what he saw.
4 Serco warriors surrounding sofia and his family. The biggest of the warriors spoke.
"We know who sofia is, she is your wife, and you are the lieutenant for the Itani Alliance"
"You are to come here and surrender yourself, or take us on in hand to hand combat, which ever is your choice. But you must do so to save the life of your wife, and the lives of her family." the serco warriors laughed at Jimmy.
In the middle of the group of serco warriors Jimmy saw sofia being restrained by one of the warriors. His heart began to pound, his sadness turned to rage, his blood boiled, you could see it in his eyes. As if a fire inside him had been ignighted, with the force of an exploding star.
The largest serco warrior said Jimmy had 1 week to get there, or they would kill his wife and her family. The transmission ended, Jimmy slamed his fist onto the control panel of his warthog.
He looked up at the single picture of sofia he had, taped to the main window of his warthog, tears in his eyes.
What would he do, he could not surrender, they would just kill sofia, her family, and him as well. But he could not fight 4 fully modified serco warriors in hand to hand combat, at least not fight and win. But he had to fight, even if it meant his own death, he would not let them hurt her.
Jimmy lifted his head, wiped the tears from his eyes and looked out the main window of his warthog.
With a look of complete hatred on his face, an emotion you would never expect an itani to express, he spoke aloud to himself.... "I'm coming sofia.....I'm coming to save you...even if I die trying".........

LeberMac reminds MGI that in unity there is strength, and that burdens do not necessarily need to be shouldered alone.
Jimmy knew that he had to save sofia. But to do so, he would have to fight the serco warriors in hand to hand combat. Killing these men, if even possible, would be a very bad thing for the "peaceful" lieutenant of a guild to do. He also knew, that he could very well die. He decied, it would be best to leave the itani alliance. He wanted to defeat these serco warriors in hand to hand combat. But he did not want their blood to be on the hands of a IA member, let alone their peaceful lieutenant.
This was something that had to be done in the name of himself. In the name of James McDermott, for his wife, Sofia McDermott.
James brought up the message composer and began to speak as the computer put it into text on the screen.
"Dear fellow guild mates, friends. I must inform you of something. My wife and her family have been taken captive by 4 serco warriors somewhere in Metana. I was given the choice to come there and surrender, or to face them in hand to hand combat. I have taken the choice of the former. I do not want their blood to be on the hands of an IA member let alone your peaceful lieutenant. I am sorry to say this, but I must leave you. This battle must be fought in the name of myself, and no one else. There are other reasons for my departure, but they are not important right now. I will not be returning, even if I do somehow survive.
Please accept this resignation my dear friends. Thank you for all the good times.
Your former peaceful lieutenant, James McDermott"
James pressed the send button and saddly looked out into space, it was done. He had no choice, the time was now. He must go and save his wife and her family. Even if trying to do so, meant death.........
