Colony 5309 Story

There is a colony on this Planet, they survived a previous crash and developed some strange Social Idea’s and abolished all men. The closest Group of PREVIOUS Colony survivors (Which Now are called Natives) are soon going to suffer a breakdown due to Gene pull deficiency and are all women on the continent that this ship has landed. There may be others else were on the planet.

This Sci-Fi thread is open to anyone with intelligent contribution.

If you want to join. go ahead make someone up. I feel what you create can be played more easily and better written. But I also understand sometimes your open and want a shove or suggestion by the GM to move in the right plot Direction. No Problem. here's some starts.

Rich Playboy was on hunting trip, Alien Engineer, Various Special Forces Solders, Astrophysicists, any of the secience would be helpful to plot development, Android/robot. Multiple charters by one player will be allowed if done intelligently. Annoying characters etc. may and can be killed off. Or if your character took a wrong turn, or just get bored. Have them Drowned and start over..

We need people to play Natives please PM me if intrested. If you have Ingenious plant animal or Terran Ideas please PM them as well. If you want to play an Alien species please be specific all traits and differences to normal humans. Also note they will have integrated into human cultural in one way or another to be on this ship. Or have arrived by own means.

I'll integrate all of Ann McCaffery's universes mostly Technologies because it’s a Familiar universe to others and me. If not familiar with her work no worries it's all loosely based. If it FITS use it. T&T Guide is in play. (Telepathic and telekinetic Guide, Discovers, rates and Trains People with Physic ability.)

Go ahead and integrate what you will with your personal Descriptions if they don’t conflict with previous Descriptions. Overlapping or conflicting descriptions will be explained or corrected by me. Thanks and hope this turns out fun.

Colony 5309 FAQ

Because this PM i got opened some questions i wanted to share it. Hey I’ll open a colony 5309 FAQ

Q: I haven't read McCaffrey in yonks so I am afraid that I wouldn't fit into your thread if it leans heavily on her novels for plot, but I did want to say that it is intriguing and do look forward to reading along.

A: No please I’m going to need to be more clear on that. Its not going to lean on her Plots. Just Loosely Based on the technologies in her Books. Anyone can fit in that’s really a Broad Description.

Q: what are the lists of male/female characters as needed,

A: there is a hibernation chamber packed full of an undisclosed amounts of Characters. You can make one up or Ask for one. Later I may restricte this to an Approval Process.

Q: I was puzzled by the inference where all survivors are female? (Or is this a colony already in existence?)

A: Existing Colony all female. The crashed Ship of Characters all differences Even Aliens possibilities.

Q: What Equiment may I have?

A: The Ships personal Storage is still intact. Problem is it's coded and only the person that turned the Items in can get them back. We may break this later but not anytime soon. What ever you'd be able to fit in standard Luggage you can have. The Ship though unfixable contains various Damaged Equipment and may be used. You could also Find Tid bits here and there.

Q: What Weapons Are aviliable.

A: If your the type that Carries Fire arms where ever you go you'd have them. However i doubt that any "heavy-weapons" would have been shipped. In fairness and Balance maybe a breakdown sniper type weapon would be largest. Side arms for military would be almost encouraged. The Ships Main armory was destroyed so Anti-transport and Anti-ship type weaponry wouldn’t be available, something that could drop Large Game such as Elephants at the most. Being advanced make it a slightly Armored Elephant. (Watch me I’m going to be dying to have Warrick use that line.)

Q: What powers everything?

A: Crystals, Batters, Solar. Let me explain Crystals. Tap (*) them and Energy Return is Greater then energy applied, do the math. They do break and wear out over time but not frequently DON’T push them. Exploding crystals is like 1 million Slivers that enter the Blood Stream and Do worse on the heart, then Asbestos on the lungs. (*) Tap is used here lightly it is largely more complicated.

Q: Do I have to be Military?

A: Being affiliated with the military is fine, actually sensible but isn’t required. Being a civilian transport it makes sense that a Destination was a Military Station or base. This would make for a lot of military and those that work with or around it on the transport.

Q: Where was the Ship headed?

A: Various Planets but no were near where it ended up. No one that can do or attempt a Recovery knows where it went. I’ve been avoiding saying this due to Cheese Factor, “We’re as stranded as Giligians Island.” We may all get off it one day but isn’t in the near or distant future. Except maybe in Tek’s.

Q: What are we eating? Drinking?

A: In a few months given good conditions a harvest of Wheat rice and other foodstuff. The ship did have a supply of Rice and Ration bars along with Pill form supplements. The self-heating Soup and Coffee containers are lost. There is a tested safe water river near the crash sight that flows toward the Crash Valley Camp. And a water Purification system still intac in the ship it only needs “Removed” (about the size of a Subcompact Automobile)

Q: I want to build something what What materials are available?

A: BAMBOO. Lots and Lots of BAMBOO. There is also Marble Quarry near the valley and a large stack of Cubic Meter blocks in the valley Supplied by the worker Driod Ohthree. Ohthree has systematically cut the ship’s hull into Squares. Which are available for buildings, HOWEVER not body armor due to weight and Flexibility issues. It’s made of a Depleted Uranium Carbon Crystal Composite (DU3C) Alloy. This alloy is impervious to Heat, Penetration and corrosion. It is Welded and Cut with a special Electro magnetic Chemical Torch (not explaining that one.) FYI there is an undiscovered supply of Iron Ore that anyone Looking especially for will find in the Valley.

Q:Hiber-Chamber?

A: New State of the art Hibernation Chamber with Cell technology. The industry stopped using the word Cryogenic due to the issues with this technology in the earlier Years. Now if the Governing Systems Fails the Individual "Cells" can independently with no external Power source maintain the Life of the Individual. Only error is it's intermittent and if an external Source attempts to open the chamber the Subject will be lost. There is a 20% change of Emergence immediacy after main system failure. It possible to remain in the Chamber for Hundreds of years. Manufacture maintains if a Cell is found and returned to the Company there is a 99.9% probability they can recover the Individual. If you can return the cell to the Company. Being the Chambers are almost indestructible, there has developed a industry of people called Chamber-Hunters. Who seek out crash sights and return cells to the company for rewards. So people are real comfortable with them.

Q: Where did Aaron Dazer learn how to Spell?

A: West Virigina.

After you have an Idea Please post here.

"Ready to Exit Hibernation Chamber.”

And what you want known about Your Player char(PC)

Captin Warrick

Captin Warrick is a Tall man. Strangely when he entered military Exam Processing Station (MEPS). Multiple Doctors Reveled at the Idea he was Exactly 1 Meter Tall down to the mil, and Exactly 99 Kilograms. Sense then it's varied but Documented in his medical Record is 1.0000 Meter Tall and 99.000 Kilograms. Body Fat 8%. Bone Density is considered elite colonist level, Beyond Earth Born Human.

Though Not Genetically Engineered such as the Heavyworlders of High-G Colonies. Warrick is near Alien in his Physical Strength. His reflexes were rated Highest in the last 10 Graduating Classes of the United Terran Space Fleet (UTSF) Officer Academy. Naturally Placing him in Internal Security. He was trained in the Virtual Fighting Center for near a year. Lethality and forms of combat known are classified. But Warrick is cleared for Single Duty Guarding of any Political Figure. As well as cleared Available for Team Guard Duty of Highest Rated Figures under Direct assassination threat. Not best of the best, but in the top 10% of his game.

Tall, Muscled Solder Sound too good to be true. Well it is. Warrick fumbles around women, is totally modest and with the exception of a few drunken nights with Service Androids his extent of sexual Experience involves a Computer and hand lotion.

[PhoenixPrime01]

I'll try for a bit and see if I like how the story goes if that's acceptable Aaron.

Character:

Senior Warrent Officer Terran Interplanetary Scouts (think future Army Special Forces/Ranger).
Name: Rodrigo Jenkins
Born on heavy gravity world, 2 times stardard Earth gravity.
Age: 38
Physique: 5'11" tall, very dense and thick boned and heavily muscled
Adapting to lower gravity worlds has made him very agile for his size and on low grav worlds he's capable of prodigious feats of stregnth and jumps unless he 'holds' back that is. (Think of the astronauts on the moon only more so.)
Skills: Jack of all trades so those attendant with a life long military man whose specialty is scouting new worlds for colonization or exploration for possible natural resources

As long as the planet has sufficent atmosphere to fuel his musculature needs all's fine, but high altitude or thin oxygen levels can cause light headedness when fully exerting himself so he carries an oxy generator as a part of his kit for use as needed.
Rod is also a skilled null gravity boxer/martial artist do to military training and his physique.

He's growing tired of the military and has been waiting for a chance to 'jump ship' as it were on an appropriate planet and set himself up as it's ruler/war lord for an area if not eventually the whole planet.

He's affable and courteous on the surface, but is a bit of a latent megalomaniac where his goal of ruling is concerned. He does have many abilities and qualifications, but can he actually do it? Of course he can, just ask him. *g

Further info as wanted or needed if that's agreeable as a skill list for someone of his age and years of experience would be very long indeed, especially since he's survived so long on many missions.

 

[Aaron Dazer]

Coolness

Am I also to guess heavy G makes everything a bit Shorter and Thicker?

[Rest of post condenced in BIO]

 

[VandalHeart]

How's this?

Name: T'ekag-e-rdr (call him Tek, you don't have enough vocal chords)
Race: K'kraali (kuh-KRAI-lee)
Age: 150 (human equivalent of late 20's)
Physique: 6' 10", heavily muscled repti/mamalian (will explain), two opposable thumbs on either side of three primary fingers, four-part mouth (imagine normal human jaw w/ extra mandible, middle has teeth on bottom and top, split both mandibles down the middle for a kind of four way opening effect, mouth can still function as human, mandibulars are very thin, and there is still skin over each, when mouth is closed it looks like he doesn't even HAVE a mouth)

The K'kraali are a race I made up after I saw the original Predator movie and caught myself thinking, "There has to be a homeworld/culture/reason for that guy." Never read a single AvP novel in my life, so I went in some pretty interesting directions. Here's the pertinent info: Allergic to water (pure water reacts to them the same way chlorinated pool water does us), intoxicated by sugar, regularly re-hydrated by alchohol. Sulfur based life form (don't quote me, I don't have my old notes at the moment). Very devout follower of a Dragon/Honor/Warrior/Law of the Jungle religion.

Fire away with the parts you don't want. Keep in mind he doesn't need to go into Hiber, since not one K'kraali has died of natural causes yet and the oldest is about 5.7 Million years old.

[Maid of Marvels]

Dr. Messalina Bishop, Phd. - Science Officer.

Bishop recently completed training at the United Terran Space Fleet. With a Doctorate in Cultural Anthropology and a Masters in Archaeology, she had planned to teach before being recruited by UTSF to accompany their latest mission to Colony 5309.

She's wet behind the ears, and this mission is going to bring her a lot of "firsts", including the realization that every answer isn't always to be found in a book.

*stretching and reporting for duty*

 

[VandalHeart]

T'ekag-e-rdr (Tek)

Tek is a master of the Hunter Caste of the K'kraali. He is about 150 years old and has matured to about the equivalent of a human in their late 20's. He carries a falchion sword, retractable spear, and a wrist mounted punch dagger, all of which are religious weapons of his caste. He has green eyes and black hair kept in traditonal dreadlocks. The dreadlocks are littered with rings (insignia of accomplishments for the empire, his guild and personal accomplishments) one of which encompasses all of his hair denoting he is a master of his caste. He has devoted his life to the Dragon Gods of his world and has come to this planet to possibly hunt in their name. This is actually a glorified vacation, but if the hunting is good, he won't turn it down. He is attracted to humans, but is mostly resigned to not getting laid. Hopefully he is sadly mistaken...

 

[Maid of Marvels]

I have a question, VandalHeart, if you don't mind?

I loved the first bio you put up -- is this the same description you will use for Tek -- just that he is onplanet now? (I don't have enough vocal chords to say T'ekag-e-rdr )

 

[VandalHeart]

Indeed, Maid. Although I don't know exactly what it is you are asking, that is his description, and he is on the planet right now

 

[Maid of Marvels]

That's what I meant. I hoped you weren't changing anything but his location at the beginning of the story. Thanks

 

[VandalHeart]

OK, I posted my intro already. Tell me if I need to edit it.

Erika Christensen

Erika Christensen – Maintenance personal

Erika Christensen is a young woman of 25 years. She comes from Scandinavia, which also is evident in her appearance. Being tall, blond and equipped with sparkling blue eyes her classmates often refer to her as the Nordic Princess in friendly terms, and the not so friendly as the Blonde Bimbo.

Miss Christensen has just graduated from the Danish Technical University with a master in VR-engineering and minor in Artificial Intelligence. After graduation she applied for a job with the UTSF to pursue a career in space. Her first assignment aboard a class 304FA Commercial Transport put her in engineering, as a trainee.

VR-engineering differs from ordinary engineering, in that a VR-engineer uses Virtual Reality to access complex computer and hardware systems for repairing and upgrading. The VR is obtained using a pair of high-tech goggles that reads the body of the wearer, thereby eliminating the need for extra equipment like gloves.

This is my first go at SRP, but I hope you will like my company. Please feel free to pm me about anything

 

[VandalHeart]

Welcome to SRP, Purplecat. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have and do.

 

[msboy8]

Hi all,
I'll be posting my bio soon. I'm either going to be a military man or an erotic Novellist, but I refuse to play a 'yuppie'. hehehe

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

More added to initial post as suggested Aaron. Nothing about weapons as not sure just where you want to go with them if not 'archaic' ones.

Let me know when you want him to 'appear' okay?

 

[Aaron Dazer]

I want to say fist off Wonderful everyone, I feel were all getting off on the right page.

Next Tek was from a race with an extreme life span and wouldn't enter a Hiber-chamber due to this fact. So the Idea was he was already there. If befriended may provide much valued terrain and resource Information.

[edited into FAQ]

 

[Aaron Dazer]

Jenkins sounds more then ready.. I'm not going to say to hesitate posting unless it gets hectic. If it flows go. Sound Good?

One more thing how can i change the threads' name? i want to fix the Typo. I know it's spelled Colony. not Coloney.

And i want you all to rember to use Ohthree as much as you want he for everyone. rember my wit for the day.


OhThree, a Standard 703 Series Service robot. Used to Explain pointless and/or Construction/food/water/laundry sources. if you see a Plot hole in where did something come from or how'd they get it. Odds are it was Ohthree. Hey they can’t move that. That can’t be cut. Ohthree did it. Who dug the Hold for the Bathroom? Where that light come from. They no power. Ohthree. ah...Ohtree um...Ohthee

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

S.W.O. Rodney Jenkins:

Dungeon.... did you say dungeon?? Read my profile and grin. I know who'd be running it. *BG*
Story titles can't be changed once posted Aaron so guess it's just how it's spelled where Warrick comes from. *wink


Warrent Officer Jenkins woke and as soon as the cobwebs had cleared a bit knew something was amiss. No sounds or vibrations of a ship in transit nor the sounds of a ship on the ground, all things he'd grown very familiar with over his 20 years service.

He keyed the pad that was supposed to open his Hiber hatch and was rewarded with a mechanical *click*, but the hatch didn't open automatically as it should have.

His back was braced so his placed his calloused palms on the hatch and slowly began to exert his stregnth to see if it would open since it sounded as though the lock had.

Veins swelled as he exerted himself and muscles began to writhe and bulge as the hatch slowly and ponderously opened enough to allow the use of his legs.

OOC to Aaron: Forgot to reply to the 'shorter and thicker' question.
Actually that is thicker and longer do to the pull of gravity and with much larger veins and other things too Aaron. *LOL

To one and all, please help an Old and Venerable with a horrid memory and put character names in the subject box so I don't have to keep looking for 'em. *g* Thanks.

IC:
Feet now took the place of arms and with a convulsive thrust of his powerfully muscled thighs the hatch slammed back and Jenkins was greeted by blackness.

"Well fuck, another FUBAR I guess. (One of the acyronyms that's survived the ages. *L)"

Dropping to a squat he slowly and carefully felt his way to the door hatch of the chamber and, once again using his muscle power since this one didn't respond to the open pad, he set himself and slowly forced it to slide wide enough open to admit dim light and let him slip out of the chamber into a campanion way.

'First things first,' he thinks to himself as he heads for the personal storage area to retrieve his personal kit and weapons.

Once obtained and properly attired and outfitted a check of the ship shows others still in their Hiber Chambers and lets him read the note left by this Captain Warrick so he knows that at least he's not the only survivor.

A bit of truding around and he finds where hull panels have been removed and can see the tracks where they've been carted off. Hopping out of the dead ship Jenkins sits on a rock and assembles his primary weapon and loads it and his secondary then starts off along the track, presumably to meet this Captain Warrick.

 

[Original_Cyn2]

Room for more?


Name: Furiae Keras
Race: Human from the Iliad World in the Odysses Sector
Age: 28 years old

Physique:5’9” tall, 125#, long legged and willowy. Her genetics bear three of the most startling and recessive of the old human traits. Her astonishing red hair, long and unrestrained in an age of space travel, brilliant emerald eyes, and a psi factor of 4. Her mental abilities fall to empathy and healing, although in times of stress she has been recorded in the kinetic factor

Education: Geology. When Furiae turned eight her mother chose to enter the Heptite Guild. For the next ten years she studied basic geology specializing in coruscating minerals and crystaline structure on the moon base Shankill.


** ** ** **

Growing up within the confines of one of the galaxies busiest moon bases many of Furiae’s closest intimates were in service to the Terran Space Fleet. When, from the dim shadows of rumor and gossip that traveled the fleet, word had come through of the new colony on the outskirts of mapped space and new minerals, one of them crystalline in structure, she’d pulled in every favor, cashed in every chip to accompany the exploratory team.

Re: S.W.O. Rodney Jenkins:

PhoenixPrime01 Good Spirit already BTW love your post. Reading your bio is where the Whole idea Come from.

Original_Cyn2 AHH! Our First McCaffery Fan. Wonderful. everyone You'll be glad to know Furiae Keras has a rather well Endowed Brain. I’ll let her disclose the Details. Sounds like your ready to go then. E4 Empath/Healer now I can be a bit more reckless.

Tek, FYI an Empath could smell you a bit away. I’ll give you minimal Camouflage at Scope Distances, due to centuries of mental Discipline but if you stub one toe. It will be like dumping a Body down a very very long well in an echo crazy underground city. Well for Keras (Original_Cyn2) anyway.

One last one Original_Cyn2 I hadn’t determined yet if I was going to use the ‘Crystal’ Technology cuz I’d have to go back and read Killasaundra to remember it. But if you remember the details we can all follow the lead. I remember the different colors had lower and higher resonance/power. Black being the Rarest and most powerful (Treker/Trekies think Dilithiem Crystals.) FYI don’t get weapons ideas guys Putting black in a hand Gun Is the same as putting Space shuttle boosters on a Rollerblades.

 

[PhoenixPrime01]

Aaron Original Cyn is playing Keras not EbonyVenus.

Hmmm and the trouble with boosters on a skateboard or roller blades is what exactly? *LOL* Ahhhhhhh, to be young and foolish nay immortal once again.

Good spirit??

Sure will post it right now. Just wanted to be sure you were happy with it Aaron.

 

[Aaron Dazer]

Original_Cyn2 EbonyVenus what you talking about i knew that...

Thanks.

Good Spirit, Understanding the Theme and Spirit of the story. and staying with in. due post plese.


God i can blow smoke when i want too.
