Roleplay:Trapped in Twilight

Hello again peoples, It's me again with a new RP! Oh yeah this is a free join.

Plot
Kurahk was homesick, so he wanted a way to get in and out of the Twilight Cage easily. Due to his teleportation powers, he never needed a warp belt. With out a warp belt, he can't get in there, so he stole borrowed Shade's belt, and used it to to get into Nocturne. But, unknown to him, the belt interfered with his teleportation powers, and created a massive worm hole to the Twilight Cage. The worm hole started sucking everyone inside the Twilight Cage, then sacttering them around the colonies. The only hope to get out is to get Kurahk to teleport everyone else back to Earth, or to sneak into Nocturne and steal some warp belts.

Roleplay
After teleporting himself into the Twilight Cage, Kurahk unknowingly created a massive worhole, dragging people into the Cage. Kurahk himself was thrown into the Kron colony.

Kurahk wakes up after having been thrown to the ground roughly after his awkward teleportation into the Cage. He stands up, then says, " What? Where am I? I though I was heading to Nocturne." He looks around, coughing from a dust and sand blowing around. " Oh well. I can always rent a Kron shuttle to get to Nocturne." He walks off, looking for civilization.

Jesse falls through to the ground behind him, faceplanting and almost breaking his nose. Zero lands with his face in the ground, his head completely submerged.

Kurahk turns around, looking at the two who just fell. " What the karzanhi?"

Zeros voice was muffled by the dirt/ sand. "What the--? Who turned out the lights?"

"Ow god where am I?" Jesse asks, a bit more nasally than normal due to his bleeding nose.

Kurahk walks over to the two, then helps them up. " What in the name of karzanhi are you doing here? I didn't bring anybody else with me. "

Zero woice is still muffled, "You tell me. One minute,I was just walking around, the next, the lights go out!

As he said that yet another figure fell into the dirt, this one a yellow echidna. Moon rubbed her head and looked around. "What? No! How can this be?"

" This is gonna be a bad idea!" Zero charges his recoil rods, then uses them to launch himself out of his predicament, and into a rock wall. "Ow"

Kurahk looks down to see his warp belt smoking and emiting sparks. " Oh God!" Kurahk rips it off, throws it on the ground, then stomps on it. " What the karzanhi cause it to do that?"

"You tell me." Said Zero as he got off the wall, leaving a imprint on it.

"You mind telling me where we are?!" Jesse exclaims angrily, wiping blood off of his face.

"I would like to know that as well!" exclaimed Zero, holding in his anger.

Moon got off the ground and straigtened her back. "This is the Kron Colony. We're in the Twilight Cage."

" We're on the Kron colony, in the Twilight Cage." Says Kurahk, who is still stomping on the now burning belt.

Zero was looking at the interesting and, now burning, technology which had brought them here. "A instant teleportation device, right?"

"Looks ruined," Jesse mutters.

"That screws over our chances of getting out of here" said Zero, keeping his cool.

" I wouldn't say instant, but yeah. A teleportation device" says Kurahk, who finishes stomping in the belt.

"So are we stuck here?" Jesse asks, annoyed.

" You are, I'm not. I can just get another belt from Nocturne." Kurahk says, holding the belt up.

"Well doesn't that mean we can get belts?" Jesse asks.

" Only I can get to Nocturne with out getting myself blown up on sight." Kurahk engages his Nocturnus armor, and tosses the belt away.

"So the second that we," gestures to everyone but Kurahk" are seen, we get a instant death sentance, am I correct?" asked Zero.

" Yep. Everyone but that yellow echidna. I've seen her before." Kurahk says, while looking at the yellow echidna.

"So echinda's get a free pass in? It's a shame we don't have polymorphism technology." Said Zero, with regret in his voice.

" Nope. Only Nocturnus can get in." Says Kurahk, with an annoyed look on his face.

"Okay then, whatever, but we still gotta get off this rock." said Zero.


 * else where*

2 hedgehogs a human and an echidna are straying the area

Red Hedgehog: hey dad...where the heck are we

Human:...uuuuuhhh...not a clue

Echidna: well we're toast

Black hedgehog: *sighs*

Red Hedgehog: well we need to find somebody

Echidna: come on Endac...why'd we bring your kid anyway

Endac: he has a name Felix

Felix:...why'd ya bring Ralon then

Raelon: why'd he bring you

Black Hedgehog: EVERYONE CALM DOWN...or else we'll be eating eachother before another grain of sand moves

Felix: come on Krados...this place is a desert

Krados: most of us have had this experience in harsher weather in less known territory and with out dragons

Raelon: true...since me and dad are fused right now that means Guilder and Pyro came over too

Endac:...lets just get moving...see what we can find

they head off climbing and declineing sand dunes

Back with the group on the Kron colony.

Kurahk looks around, coughing from the dust flying around. " Well, it looks like we're no where near any shuttle, so we got some walking to do."

Moon looked over at Kurahk. "What were you doing here anyway?"

Kurahk looks at Moon, with a slighty guilty look on his face. " Well... I was kinda... Homesick"

"It's hard to imagine anyone being homesick for this place" Moon said, she then looked Kurahk over. "You were one of the young ones weren't you?"

" I guess you can say that. Anyways, I want to know why your here. I thought you left the Cage." says Kurahk, with a confused look.

"I did. I don't know why but some sort of worm hole brought me back here. It was almost like the Argus event all over again." Moon said.

Kurahk shudders at the mention of the Argus Event. " A wormhole? Hmm... What in the name of Karzanhi is a wormhole doing back there?"

Moon put her hands on her hips. "That's what I'd like to know." She kept walking. "But while I'm here it wouldn't hurt to check on the situation of our people."

Kurahk walks ahead, his heavy Nocturnus armor making a large clunck sound with each step. " I wonder if Shade'll be there. I got something to return to her." Kurahk holds up the fried warb belt.

"Shade was the first one to leave, I'm not sure if she's been back or not." said Moon, looking down in thought.

Kurahk shrugs and continues walking. " What I want to know is how that wormhole opened up in the first place"

"With the timing, do you think it has anything to do with your trip here?" Moon asked.

Kurahk ponders this for a moment, then continues walking. "Hmm... Well, the belt was fried after I teleported here, and I feel as if a large amount of my power is drained."

Moon looked at the now destroyed belt in Kurahk's hand. "I've never seen one of the belts malfunction like that, but that seems like it may be the cause." she said.

Kurahk scratches his head, then says "Well, maybe if we get to Nocturne, we can figure out what exactly fried this thing."

_______________________________________________


 * with Endac and his gang*

Raelon listens closely "heys dad...i hear voices"

Endac looks at him and listens "..."

Felix scoffs "oh forget it, not like there would be anyone out here" he collapses on the ground swaeting.

Krados finishes walking up the dune not even looking a bit tired "oh come on, you can take longer than this Felix"

Felix looks ta him "I'M SO SUNBURNED, MY SKIN IS RED"

Krados cocks an eye brow "your always red

Felix gets up and looks at his skin. "...oh yeah"

"shoosh...i hear it too" Endac says quieting them "this way" he heads down the next dune with the others behind him.

_____________________________________________

"It feels like it's been so long since I was at Nocturne, but I know with the time here it was probably only yesterday." Moon was saying.

"Yeah. It feels really weird coming back to the strange time here, after just getting used to the time outside the Cage." Said Kurahk.

Moon stopped. "Something just ocurred to me, we need to be on our guard. After the incident with Ix the Kron may not be too happy to see any Nocturnus."

Kurahk stops as well, then faceplams. "Crap! I forgot about them! Our best plan is to sneak around them. Our weapons aren't strong enough to take on the entire popluation of the colony, and plus I'm and no state to fight anything right now."

Moon started walking again. "You probably should have planned your trip better."

Kurahk catches up with Moon, and then says, " I never was one for thinking." Kurahk coughs from the wind blowing the sand up.

Since the wind was picking up Moon activated her helmet to protect herself from the sand. "Not thinking will get you in trouble."

Kurahk activated his helmet as well. The helmet took a moment to start the visual proccessors, but when they did start, Kurahk's vision was implemented with HUD displaying his current health, energy levels, and his natural power levels. " There, that's better. Now, where's the closest operating shuttle?"

Moon looked around at the endless sand and various rock formations. "There should be one there, near Nestor's home." she said, pointing at a large mountain.

Kurahk seems puzzeled after Moon mentioned Nestor, but he then remembered. "Oh yeah, Nestor. Wasn't he the guy who spoke out against Ix, and was exiled for it?"

Moon nodded. "He was a friend of mine. With all he knew of history, I regret I didn't listen to him about Ix sooner."

Kurahk gave a quick nod, then said, "Speaking of Ix, what became of the rest off the tribe? I know that they were defeated and all, but did they ever go back to finding a more foolproof way to get out of the Cage?"

"When I left they were still confused about what to do next with Ix gone. I'm not sure how much progress they have made." Moon said.

"Well, I guess we're going to find out." Kurahk said.

"Hey, Kurahk!" exclaimed Jesse running up to them. "Can't we just go with you in disguises?"

Kurahk looks back through the vizor of his helmet and says " Scanners. Can't beat 'em without Nocturnus armor."

"Well can't you get your hands on some?" Jesse says, a bit annoyed. "Because I am not standing out here in the desert for the rest of my life!" {C Moon shushed them both. "We're almost to the shuttle, and there are Krohn nearby." she whispered.

Kurahk nelt down beside a rock, looking around it to see two Kron standing gaurd infront of the shuttle. " Shi.... Well, unless we can sneak past them, we're gonna have to fight them."

"Well if there's one thing I'm good at," Jesse said, kneeling down next to Kurahk, "it's fighting."

Kurahk takes off a golden bracelt with a red jewel in it, before bending down and grasping his head. He gets back up, and disengages his armor, revealing a large black coat. Kurahk sighs, then says "Lets get this done as soon as possible"

"That's what I wanna hear," Jesse laughed.

" A man can't change the world without getting his hands dirty now can he?" Kurahk mutters under his breath. {C "Just remember their strength is in their tough armor, but they're not very fast." Moon said.

"Speed is my middle name," Jesse said confidently.

Kurahk pulls his sycthe out from behind a rock, then crouches over behind another. He whispers "Follow my lead."

With a squeeze of her hand Moon drew her leech blades that came right out of her advanced armor. They glowed green as she activated them.

Jesse pulls a tactical knife out of his boot. "Hey, this is all I was carrying," he said.

Moon looked a little concerned at Jesse's knife knowing it would never penetrate the Kron's rock hard armor, but she didn't say anything.

"You have a thick head. Use it." In an instant, Kurahk teleports behind one of the Kron, delivers a great slash from his scythe, hitting it's back. The Kron topples over, and Kurahk teleports away again.

Jesse puts his knife back, figuring out what they were both thinking: it wouldn't penetrate.

Moon jumped out and it the downed Kron with one of her leech blades, draining some of his strength. Immediately afterwards she did a back flip back to her hiding spot.

Kurahk jumps out of his hiding spot, firing blasts of fire at the Kron. He then jumps up on him, swinging his sycthe wildly.

"Hey, Moon?" Jesse asks. "How am I gonna attack them? I don't have any elemental pwoers or any weapons good enough."

Kurahk teleports up on a ledge overlooking the shuttle, then fires a blast of fire into the sky. It appears to do nothing at first, but then the sky turns a bright red. Kurahk yells "Take cover!" The sky turns a red-ish black, then a large number of fireballs rains down, bathing the area in a bright red light. The Kron attempt to take cover, but their large size prevents then from moving fast enough. The Kron are pelted by the fireballs, taking massive damage.

"Crap!" Jesse exclaims, dodging the fireballs, and trying to get to the nearest cover.

Zero draws his Z-Buster and shoots charged shots at the Kron, still scrambling for cover.

"I told you to take cover! Now then....." Kurahk jumps off the ledge, landing on one of the Kron. He holds his scythe infront of his neck, then says "Surrender, or die. It's your choice. The same goes for your buddy here."

(Just in front of them, another wormhole opens and out of it falls Falco and Hero. Falco falls on Jesse)

Falco: Ow.

Hero: What the- Where are we?

"Will you get offa me!?" exclaims Jesse angrily.

Falco: Sorry.

(Falco gets off him)

Hero: Where are we?

"Great. Another pair of idoits." Kurahk mutters under his breath. "Now then, what's your answer, Kron?" The Kron says "Fine. You win. Whatever you want, take it." Kurahk lets the Kron up, and they walk away. " Hmm? What's this?" Kurahk bends down, and picks up a large hammer. He then throws the hammer infront of the now flattened Jesse. "You needed a weapon?"

Hero: Um, is anyone gonna answer my question?

Jesse picks up the hammer. "This is gonna be fun."

Falco: Hey, I wanna hammer.

Hero: (sighing) You are both idiots.

Kurahk looks at him and says "Twilight Cage. Kron colony. Does that answer your question?"

Hero: Twilight Cage! How did we get here?

Falco: Hey Jesse, can I borrow your hammer?

"No," Jesse says.

Kurahk points to the wormhole in the sky. "See?"

Falco: I'll fight ya for it.

(Falco punches Jesse in the gut and grabs the hammer)

Falco: Hah!

Hero: Idiots....

Jesse kicks Falco in the crotch and takes his hammer back.

(Falco punches Jesse in the face and grabs the hammer again)

Falco: Stay back or I'll hit you with it.

Hero: (facepalms) Jesus.....

Kurahk looks over at the group, with very annoyed look on his face. "Unless you want to die out here in this god-forsaken desert, I suggest you get in the shuttle."

"This isn't over," Jesse says, stepping into the shuttle. Falco: Yes it is.

(Falco follows him in)

Hero: I want more answers when we get on board.

(Hero follows Falco and Jesse)

Moon put her hand on her forehead and let out an exasperated sigh. She then headed for the shuttle.

Zero dashes into the shuttle.

(On board)

Hero: So who's idea was it to open a wormhole?

The door to the shuttle closes once everybody is aboard. The engines start, the wings unfold, and the shuttle lifts off. Inside Kurahk is piloting the ship. "Remind me why I'm helping you idoits. I can understand why I'm helping Moon, but why I'm I help you." Kurahk mutters under his breath again.

Hero: Because I can actually help you in a fight.

(looks at Falco and Jesse)

Hero: I don't know why they're here.

"So you think you're better off just leaving us to die?" Jesse asks.

Falco: Well I can help because I have a hammer.

Falco: (quietly to Kurahk) Please let me stay, this is the closest thing I get to a brake from my girlfriend.

"That would better,yes. But no, I'm being a nice guy and I'm saving you bunch of nuts from this stupid place when I was meant to come here alone on a sort of vacation! As soon as I get my hands on a bunch of warp belts, I'm sending you out of this stupid place." says Kurahk, with an angry tone in his voice.

Falco: Oh c'mon. I need a vacation too!

Kurahk delivers a threating glare at Falco, but then goes back to steering the ship. " Do you even have a job? Even if you do, I doutb it's a annoying as mine."

"And also, Falco, I was planning on seeing my wife again. I guess seeing my better half is more important to you and yours huh?" Jesse says, annoyed.

Falco: No, mine can just get a bit annoying from time to time. Oh and Kurakh, I don't have a job, I spend most of my time adventuring, just picking up money here and there.

"Unlike most of you, I have a friend to take care of, and I can't exactly do that from in this Cage. I wonder if she ever found that hedgehog she was looking for." says Kurahk, who is still focused on flying the shuttle.

Falco: Who's your friend?

"Lets just say she's a little, unqiue." Kurahk says, with a look of concern on his face.

Falco: C'mon. Tell us.

Hero: Falco, can't you tell its private. Just go play with Jesse.

(Falco glares at him)

Falco: (grinning evilly) Oh go dream about Angel.

"Okay, Hero, that's a little insulting," says Jesse. "I'm not eight."

Falco: And you can go back to your stupid family Jesse.

"My family is not stupid," Jesse says, a lot more angrily.

Moon was just sitting there with her eyes closed, trying to ignore all the bickering

"I'm not gonna saying thing more. Just shut and let me drive. And do not even think about saying 'are we there yet'." Says Kurahk as he wipes the sleep from his eyes.

Falco: (on a roll) Oh whats wrong Jesse, are you upset that I called your stupid family stupid?

Hero: Falco shut up! Sorry Jesse, he's angry cuz he had fight with Target before he came here.

"Hey Kurahk? Can I kill him?" Jesse asks politely.

Falco: Ooh. Jesse thinks he's so tough.

Hero: Seriously Jesse, he's upset but he's trying not to show it. Ignore him!

Kurahk sits there with his eyes closed, thinking about his friend for a moment. He then opens them and resumes flying the shuttle. "Here's a plan. All of you shut up, or I'll burn you all to a crisp."

Zero was just sitting back, with his eyes closed, comtemplating about what had happened so far, then he heard what Kurahk had said, then dismissed it as a empty threat.

Kurahk looks at the group. "Look. I am not afraid to kill you all in cold blood, and without remorse. Because that's what I do for a living. So I suggest you all shut up before I throw you out the airlock."

Zero dismissed it as a empty threat for him, as he knew that he didn't need air to breathe and could withstand the pressure of space, but wasn't so sure about the others in the group.

Kurahk looks back at the screen, focusing on flying the shuttle. "Good. Now that things are quiet again, I can finally fly this thing in peace."

Zero then went back to comtemplating about what he had seen on the colony, and what he should expect to see in the rest of the twilight cage.

Moon still wasn't paying attention to everyone else. She was thinking about the Nocturnus. She wasn't even entirely sure how they would react to the return of those who had left.

Kurahk wipes the sleep from his eyes once more, then puts the ship on auto-pilot. "Man I'm tired. Zero, do you think you can fly this thing? I really need to get some sleep, and you look like your the best one to ask. I'm leaving you in charge for now." Kurahk walks off through a door near the back of the ship, and a soft 'thud' is heard from the room.

"I can fly a shuttle," Jesse comments, cutting Zero off and taking the pilot seat. "I've done it before." He expertly takes the controls and flawlessly starts piloting. Zero then shrugs his shoulders.

"Oh what the Karzanhi?!" A sound that sounds similar to a blade being unseathed comes from Kurahk's room, then a bunch of crashing noises. "Who the Karzanhi...... It can't be! What are you doing here?! And how did you get in this ship?" A second voice, a female one with a slight robotic tone is heard coming from the same room. "Where... Where am I? Kurahk, I don't know." Kurahk speaks again, saying "Oh. I see. I'm just glad your safe." The door to Kurahk's room opens, and he steps out. A gray, female bat comes out too, hugging Kurahk with scared look on her face.

Moon quickly turned around at the sound of all the racket. She was ready for anything when the door opened. The she looked confused when the bat came out. "Another?"

Then hear a loud racket coming back from the main compartment.

"And what's the racket now?!" Jesse exclaims, annoyed.

It had appeared that Falco had been testing his new hammer, it had hit the shelf not on purpose and landed on Zero's head.

The girl looks over at the yellow echidna, with a look that can only be described as a mixture of fear and confusion. Kurahk give a reasuring look at the bat, then says " Relex, she's the friend I was talking about."

"I see, nice to meet you." Moon said, making sure to have a friendly tone to her voice since she noticed the fear on the bat's face.

Kurahk whispers something to the girl, then says aloud, "This is GLaDOS, my... let's just say she's my adopted daughter." GLaDOS hugs Kurahk, then she says, "Kurahk? Were are we? This doesn't look like any place we visited before."

"Isn't GLaDOS the name of the bad guy from Portal?" says Jesse.

Moon gave Jesse a look that said, "that's not what you say when you first meet someone".

GLaDOS looks over at Jesse, but she then burys her face in Kurahk's dreadlocks. Kurahk mouthes "Be quiet!"

"Hey, I'm probably wrong. Don't take it personal," Jesse says, a bit annoyed.

Kurahk strokes GLaDOS' hair, the looks at Jesse and says "Be careful of what you say, she's a bit.... Sensitive."

"Obviously," he mutters, focusing back on flying.

Kurahk glares at Jesse for a second, but then turns to GLaDOS. "How did +

you end up here? And more importantly, how did you get on this ship?" GLaDOS looks at him, then hugs him again. " I... I... I don't know. One moment I was sitting under a tree, the next, I was in this desert, and a sandstorm started, and I ran in here."

Suddenly, Jesse has a great idea. "One of you said that it was a wormhole, right?"

Moon nodded slowly. "Yes. I saw a wormhole." she said.

"So what if I just fly this shuttle into the wormhole, and it'll take us back to our own time?" Jesse sggests adamantly.

"And what if you fly it into a wormhole, and it takes us some place worse?" Moon said, not liking the idea of doing something so unpredictable.

"Well, scientists believe that a wormhole can only be a portal between two locations. So unless that one dissipated and another one somewhere else formed, I think we're fine," Jesse says, in a rare display of scientific knowledge.

"That COULD work, but, my suits sensors detected a great amount of disturbance up there. I don't think this ship can take it." says Kurahk.

Moon has a serious look on her face. "It is possible that a wormhole like that could crush any ship."

"I swear if you guys don't get me a belt soon enough I'm gonna take this rig straight into that thing," Jesse says, seriously.

Kurahk is still stroking GLaDOS' hair. After the mention of flying into the wormhole, Kurahk has been putting some serious thought into this. "Well.... We have two options here. Option one: Fly into the wormhole and die, or option two: Sneak into Nocturne and get some warp belts."

"Personaly, I don't want to make suicide a habit, so I'm all for #2." said Zero, voicing his opinion.

To Moon there was no question that they were going to choose the second option. But there was still the question of how they were going to pull it off. "We could probably pass off Jesse and Hero, but what about the non-echidnas?" she asked.

"Umm... Kurahk.... How are we going to get out of here?" says GLaDOS. Kurahk strokes her hair and says "I don't quite know right now, but we are going to get out of here." Kurahk turns to Moon and says, "Maybe if we find some more armor, but that would be difficult."

"I don't know where we could get armor without actually being on Nocturne." said Moon.

Kurahk scratches head head. "Well, if we found some way to duplicate out existing armor..." Kurahk trailing off, lost in thought.

Hero: I don't think that we could armour in the right sizes for all of us. Maybe just the some people should go. I'll go because I'm an echidna.

Falco: I'll go cuz I'm a master of disguise!

(everyone looks at him)

Falco: Never mind.

Kurahk is quiet for a few minutes, then he looks at GLaDOS. "Aha!" exclaims Kurahk, snapping his fingers. GLaDOS looks up at him, with her head tilted in confusion. Kurahk turns to GLaDOS and says "GLaDOS, you can morph parts of your body into other things right?" GLaDOS gives a quick nod. Kurahk grabs her shoulders and says "So, can't we just replicate your ability to do that and make extra armor, right?" GLaDOS ponders this for a minute.

Falco: So me and my hammer can still come?

Kurahk gives a 'I don't care' look at Falco, then turns back to GLaDOS.

Hero: I don't even need armour. I'm an echidna so they'll accept me.

Moon looked at him, "You'll attract attention in those clothes. They're foreign."

Hero: I can say that I left Mobius and came here to start a new life.

"So you'd tell them you came from the one place they've been trying to get to for years to live in the place they've been so desperate to escape?" Moon asked.

"Moon's right." Kurahk turns to GLaDOS, who is still quiet in thought. "So, will you let me borrow some of your tech? Please?" Kurahk leans over to GLaDOS' ear and whispers "Please, do it for me." GLaDOS looks down, then nods. She shuts down, allowing access to her tech.

Hero: Ok.

Falco: Can I have some armour?

Kurahk opens a panel on GLaDOS' back, revealing a complex amalgamation of wires and circitry. Kurahk pulls out a small chip from GLaDOS, and hands it to Moon. "I'm planning to use the materials on this ship to make a machine using that chip to replicate my armor. It's gonna take a while, but I it do-able." Kurahk closes the panel, and GLaDOS reactivates.

Moon turns the chip over in her hand, inspecting it. "Alright."

Falco: Can I help? I know I'm immature, but I'm really good with tech.

GLaDOS reactivates, then looks at the chip in Moon's hands. Kurahk give her a reasuring smile. "Fine. You can help." says Kurahk.

(Falco walks over and starts fiddling with wires)

Kurahk walks into a back room, coming back with some crates.

Falco: What's in them?

"Judging from the weight, I'm guessing metal or wood." Kurahk puts the crates down, then goes back in the room.

Moon carefully took the chip over to where they were working.

Kurahk comes back out of the room with a third, larger crate labeled 'Eletronics'. He puts it with the rest of the crates, then goes back into the room, coming back with a crowbar. "Man, I feel like I'm Gordan Freeman!" Kurahk then opens the crates, revealing metal scraps, some 2-by-4s, and some eletronics.

"Just so you guys know, I'm gonna want some armor too," Jesse exclaims from the cockpit.

"Don't steer us into an asteriod and you'll get some." said Kurahk, who is rummaging around in the crates.

Moon looked curiously at all the stuff in the crates, it looked a lot like junk to her. "We're going to be able to pull this off with this stuff?"

"Maybe." said Kurahk, who is still rumaging in the crate.

Moon gently sat the chip down and started looking through a crate. She found all sorts of wires and buttons that weren't attached to anything.

"Well, It looks like have enough materials, but I don't have the first clue how to make something like this." said Kurahk, with a hint of confusion on his face.

Moon stopped and stared at Kurahk. "It was your idea and you don't know?"

Kurahk got up and said "Like I said before, I never was one for thinking." After saying that, Kurahk went over to GLaDOS, and put his hands on her shoulders. "GLaDOS, do you think you can come up with a set of blueprints for the machine we're making?"

GLaDOS gave a quick nod, then sat down and started writing and scratching out thing on a paper at a rapid rate. "They shall be ready in a moment"

Moon watched GLaDOS draw out the blueprints, still holding a random control panel she had found in the crate.

Kurahk pulls out a a large roll of cables, tossing them on the floor. He then pulls out a metal rod, and sets with the rest of them.

Moon looked closer at the blueprints. She didn't quite understand them, but as she watched them come together she had a feeling they might actually work.

GLaDOS grabs the chip, turning at over in her hand. She then continues to work on the blueprints.

Kurahk meanwhile, is busy unpacking the crates. He then says "I wonder why someone would just leave these materials here. Most of them are still new."

Moon started thinking. "Something else that's strange. The Kron aren't very big on technology. These materials may have belonged to someone else..."

"Maybe this could have been a pirate ship. Because from the looks of these materials, it looks like their from all the colonies." Said Kurahk, with a puzzled look.

"Perhaps the Kron were able to capture the pirates and that's why this ship was there." Moon said, but after a minute a more serious thought came to her mind. "Or hopefully the pirates weren't still using the ship and are currently on Kron about to find out it was stolen."

"Maybe." Kurahk finished emptying the second crate, the he moved over to the third. "This ship is pretty advanced, so the possiblity of it being a pirate ship is logical. But, what would it be doing on the Kron colony. And we where the Kron gaurding it?"

"Well the Kron guarding it might go with my first idea. Fortunately that it makes the second far less likely." said Moon.

GLaDOS' erratic pencil scratches finally stopped, and she stood up. "Finished."

"Great. What do we need to do?" asked Moon, holding a bunch of parts.

GLaDOS brought the blueprints over to Kurahk, then said "All you have to do is assemble as instructed on the blueprints. Cutting and welding is required some spots, but other then that, it shouldn't be too hard."

Kurahk took the blueprints from GLaDOS, giving her a quick hug. Kurahk then went back to the area which he sorted everything they found in the crates. He laid out the blueprints, then proceeded to look over them. He waved for Moon to come take a look.

Moon looked over the instructions. She was thankful that they were pretty clear, written almost in a step-by-step format. She began picking up pieces that matched the ones on the plans.

Kurahk yawns, wipes the sleep from his eyes, then starts gathering the parts required. "I'll handle the welding, you handle to cutting." As he said that, he sparked a little flame in his palm.

Moon scanned over all the stuff laying around until she found some wire cutters and a hack saw. The plans called for some piping to be a certain length so she measured it out and started sawing.

"Measure twice, cut once." Kurahk looked over the blueprints once more, then proceeded to spark a welder-like fire on the end of his finger. He started cutting the metal into smaller sections, with the plan to make a cube.

After finally getting through the pipe with the less than efficient saw she had found, Moon sanded down the cut end of the pipe so it wouldn't be so rough.

After a few minutes, Kurahk had finished cutting, he stood the parts up in formation, then he welded the thing together. He then cut a rectangle slot in both sides of the box. "That's where the conveyor is gonna go...." He trailed off, looking at the blueprints.

Moon was working on some wiring to get power for it. She was clipping the wire casing with the wire cutters in order to get enough of the wires exposed to effectively attach them together. "So we're going to have to start working with moving parts." she commented at Kurahk's mention of the conveyor.

"Yeah. But hopfully, it's not as hard as it sounds. Kurahk tossed the spare parts away, then grabbed a length of chain. He began welding it together with the intention of making a make-shift conveyor.

Moon finally finished all the wiring, she then started looking at the plans for the actual replication element.

Kurahk finished welding the chain together, and he held it up to the cube to see if it would work. Thankfully, it fits. He then proceed to make to rollers for the conveyor.

Moon found a solderer in order to modify a circuit board to be like the one in the instructions.

Falco: What else do we need to do?

Kurahk grabbed some spare metal pieces and welded them on to the bottom of the cube, as a pair of legs. "Now that that's done...." Kurahk trailed of again, looking at the instructions. Kurahk then welded the rollers in the cube, then attached the make-shift conveyor on them.

Moon showed Falco some of the plans. "Look through that pile over there and find some parts that look like these." she said.

(Falco points into Moon's box)

Falco: Isn't that one of them, just upside down?

Moon picked up the piece he was pointing at. "This? Well yes but I need more than one."

Falco: Not necessarily.

(Falco attaches it to something else and mixes some wires)

Falco: You see, if you connect it via the reddish blue wire, its energy can be multiplied.

"I see, that would make it much more effecient." commented Moon.

Falco: And the way you combined the conjunctive wires the wrong way. That'll slow the whole progress down. Look.

(Falco reconnects the wires through a cyber cable)

Falco: You see? Now it will be far more functional.

Kurahk moved the metal scraps away from his workplace and said "You weren't kidding when you said you could help."

Moon nodded in agreement as she soldered the last piece on to the circuit board.

Kurahk stood the cube up, then said "Well, this is done. Now all we have to put those circuit boards in."

Moon handed Kurahk one of the circuit boards so that he could install it.

Kurahk began working on installing the circuit boards. He looked over at GLaDOS, who was standing over at the window. GLaDOS was looking around frantictly and repeatedly saying "Space? SPACE!" Kurahk turned back to his work and sighed.

Moon glanced over at GLaDOS concernedly. "Is she going to be ok?" she asked.

Kurahk looked back at GLaDOS and said "She should be back to normal soon." Kurahk turned back to the machine. "I hope." he muttered.

Moon looked over what they had done so far. "It looks like we just need all the parts together and then to add GLaDOS' chip."

Kurahk nods. He adds the newly constructed circuit board to the machine, then carefully puts GLaDOS' chip in. The machine whirs to life,becoming fully operational. "And that does it!"

"Whew." said Moon, dusting off her hands. "So now we test it."

Kurahk took off a small knob of his belt, then gently pressed it. The knob turned into Kurahk's advanced self-collapsing Nocturnus armor. He put the armor on the make-shift conveyor, then started the machine. It took a moment, but the conveyor brought the armor through the machine, and when it came out, the armor came out, then it was followed by a second suit of armor. Kurahk did a fist-pump, then said "Yes! It works!"

Moon smiled, thinking that things might be looking up after all. "So I think we need three more. I'm assuming GLaDOS doesn't actually need any?"

Kurahk continued to repilacte more armor and said "No, she doesn't. She can just reconfigure her appearance to match the armor. But...." Kurahk turned and looked at GLaDOS. "I don't like the idea of bring her along. But then again, I don't like leaving her her either."

Falco: Alright, lets try this thing out!

Hero: I hope this works Falco.

Kurahk walks over to GLaDOS, with a concerned look on his face. GLaDOS is staring out the window with unrivaled glee, almost hugging the window to try to get out. Kurahk came over to her, putting his arm around her. Kurahk then lead her into the back room. A large 'whir' sound comes from the room, then Kurahk walks out.

Falco: What was that noise?

Kurahk sighs, and says "GLaDOS. I shut her down for now."

Falco: Lets do this!

Kurahk tosses everybody a suit of armor, then takes his back. He turns it back into a knob, and puts it on his belt again. He then takes GLaDOS' chip from the machine, then returns to the back room.

"You mind flying this rig while I dress up?" Jesse says from the cockpit.

Kurahk said nothing, he just walked over and sat down in the pilot's seat.

(Falco puts his on)

Falco: Sweet, I look seriously dark and mysterious!

Kurahk rubs the sleep from his eyes, and says "When we're done here, you can keep those."

Jesse gets up from the cockpit and gets into his armor.

(Falco takes off the armour for a second and tampers with it, before putting it back on)

Falco: Hey guys, check this out.

(Falco pushes a button and his armour starts glowing red between the black)

"Interesting," Jesse mutters, getting back in the cockpit.

(Falco goes into his room and emerges five minutes later)

Falco: Check this out.

(Falco takes the hammer that was attached to the back of his armour off and swings it, causing a large invisible explosion)

Falco: It's like a gravity hammer from Halo. And I've put a communicator on my wrist. Anyone else want some upgrades?

Kurahk activates his armor and says "No."

Falco: Jesse, Hero?

Hero: Do mine.

(Falco leaves with Hero's and returns)

Falco: I've designed yours so that it amplifies your wind power. And there is a staff on your back which has the same powers as mine, only lightning instead of gravity.

Hero: Cool!

Falco: Jesse? You want an upgrade?

Kurahk looks at Falco and says "I wouldn't modify those too much. Their copies of mine, and mine is fine tuned so that it works exacty like I want it to. If you modify it too much, it might break the armor."

Falco: It's ok. Shade is a friend of mine. Last time she visited us, I examined her armour. I know exactly how it works.

Kurahk pulled something out of the glovebox, and tossed to Falco "You know Shade? Give her this. It's the warp belt I 'borrowed' from her"

Falco: How? I'm staying here for as long as you are.

Hero: (sighing) Falco.....

"When we get out of course. Moron." said Kurahk, with an angry tone.

Falco: I know dude, I'm jokin'. Did I not just work some advanced mechanics and upgrade some armour? I'm not stupid.

Kurahk looks at Falco and says "Are you sure? You look pretty stupid."

Falco: Would an idiot have been able to do this while you were all sleeping?

Falco pushes a button and a disco ball comes down from the roof and music starts playing)

Kurahk removes the armor around his one hand, than shot a blast of fire at the disco ball. The disco ball explodes, spraying flaming glass shards everywhere. "Shut up. I mean it."

"Stop being an idiot," Jesse says, adjusting the altitude of the rocket.

Falco: Don't worry, I have a spare.

(Falco pushes another button and a spare comes out)

Kurhak jumps out of the set, blasts the spare, and runs over to Falco. He grabs Falco's collar and shoves him up against the wall. "Shut Up. Before I kill you." He drops Falco and returns to the controls.

"Feel free to, he's even starting to piss me off," Jesse mutters.

Falco: Fine, I'm going to my room. You guys don't know what fun is!

(Falco leaves)

"I'm almost at that point Jesse." Kurahk replied, with an angry tone.

"At least we agree on something," Jesse laughs.

Kurahk yawns, then asks "Can you fly this rustbucket? I'm really tired."

Hero: Same, I'm going to my room. Oh Jesse, Falco may have made some more 'upgrades' so watch out.

(Hero leaves) "I'm practically an insomniac, I could fly all night if you need," Jesse says.

"Thanks." Kurahk walks away towards his room. When he gets there, a soft 'thud' sound is heard. He fell face first on his bed.

Moon thought about going to bed, but there was too much going on for her to get herself to sleep. Instead she just stayed in her seat and leaned back with her eyes closed.

GLaDOS walked out of Kurahk's room, and sat down in a corner. She put her head on her knees and closed her eyes.

Zero was going to stay up, as he need no sleep to function properly.

GLaDOS took out a book, titled Eragon, and started reading it.

After sitting there awhile Moon got up and started walking around the ship. She absentmindedly looked around at all the various machines and other knick-knacks. She then looked out the window and could see a glimpse of the Voxai colony.

GLaDOS puts the book down, and walks over to the window. She has a look of curiosity on her face.

Moon looked a little unsure at first when GLaDOS came over, but she quickly relaxed. "That's the Voxai Colony." she said. "They're a very advanced group of telepathic aliens."

GLaDOS looked at the colony, and said. "Wow. I didn't know that such a thing exists."

Moon was still looking out the window thoughtfully. "There are a lot of strange things here you don't see anywhere else."

GLaDOS looked over at the slighty visable Zoah colony. She points to it and says "And that one? What lives one that?"

"That's where the Zoah live, a large warrior race. Their civilization is based on fighting." Moon explained.

GLaDOS tilted her head in wonder, then said "I know Kurahk would like them. To me it seems its as if he loves fighting."

Moon looked down. "Does he? Well the thing about fighting, I think, is it gets old after you've seen enough of it."

"Agreed," came Jesse's voice from the cockpit in response. He sounded remorseful.

GLaDOS looked over at Jesse, then turned back to the window.

Moon sighed, still looking out the window. Everything looked so familiar, but at the same time, so foreign.

GLaDOS turned to Moon and asked "Which one of these is Nocturne?" She pointed out the window, scanning the world outside.
