Posted 21 May 2014 - 09:49 PM

PLOT:

 

In the distant future, Ponykind has expanded far beyond the world of Equestria. Our destiny brought us to the stars, and we soon found our empire reaching across the vast expanses of the galaxy. With our exploration, we discovered fascinating worlds, colonizing them and terraforming them into places much like Equestria. It wouldn't be until 200 years after we left the confines of our homeworld that we discovered intelligent life, bringing wonder, technology, and prosperity to our races, much to the relief of those who had once prepared for war.

 

The galaxy is mainly under the control of six intelligent races. Ponykind, the Iriati, the Alveare Venandi, Slythin, The Talas, and The Fasaajiir. Each race brings an interesting trait to our once familiar known world.

 

The Iriati originate from the planet Atlets'l. Their ancestors were peaceful tribal gatherers, but when other races began to come to their planet, it wasn't long before they were industrialized. They are insect-like, not too different from the changelings of Equestria. They are herbivorous, and can eat any sort of plant, and cannot be affected by poisonous plants. While not warriors, they specialize in melee weapons, e.g. spear-like weaponry. The Iriati respect all life, no matter how small, and even though their planet it not as natural as it used to be, they've done their best to coexist with nature as much as possible, and will protect life at all costs. They all have chitin instead of a normal coat, and all bear fly-like wings, which can change color depending on emotions, much like a chameleon. Other than that, and their insect-like eyes, they seem like a normal equine.

 

The Alveare Venandi consist of a hive mind race of castes all vastly different in appearance known for it's quick expansion and low technological level. All of them are capable of speech, but the lower castes are single minded and will not operate without the hive leader's orders. Much to the chagrin of the other species, The Venandi are capable of creating weaponry, structures, and even domesticating other creatures. In most cases, the leader and it's highest subordinates are the only ones capable of true thought, but in extremely rare events, usually once per hive, an Alveare will be born capable of thought in the same way as any other sapient race, as their brain cells are capable of replicating exponentially. The leaders will treat these with the highest respect, and due to the Alveare's fairly friendly relation with many other species, will often choose them for use as diplomats and for improving relations further.

 

The Slythin are very similar to the "Naga" of ancient mythology, and some believe that they visited Equestria in the past, leading to their inclusion in mythology. They are a carnivorous, warlike race, that participates in war only if needed, even if they enjoy it. They enjoy their early lives on their home planet of Jyltha, a planet of almost 95% water. When they reach adulthood, they may choose to either remain on Jyltha or leave to many of the other Slythin-owned planets. However, they must stay on Jyltha throughout their childhood, and any children hatched on other planets (Slythin lay eggs instead of giving birth to live young) are transported to Jyltha until they mature. Slythin are skilled in brutal, heavy weaponry, and are also great in unarmed combat, as their paralyzing venom is a weapon in and off itself.

 

The Talas are a large, strong species known for it's high focus on the defense of it's homeworlds and it's Spartan lifestyle. Each Talas is raised to be as strong as possible, and gender segregation is none existent, as a female or male are virtually the same. Possessing rugged skin and a highly adaptive biology, they are nonetheless weak in their lifespan and their culture has been stagnant for centuries. The talas possess a large amount of fleets, and their drop troopers are feared on the battlefield. Many of the species tend to head out from their home system to do mercenary work, which hasn't helped their reputation.

 

Not much is known about the mysterious Fasaajiir, who are believed to have been the actual "Greys" of old cryptozoology. They have no mouths, a grey coat, and large, black, piercing eyes. Despite their somewhat frightening appearance, they are mostly a race of scientists, who only wish to understand the universe and the creatures within it. They obtain sustenance by absorbing nutrients from bodies of water by filter-feeding through their skin. Their lack of mouths may surprise some, as they are actually very talkative. They speak to others through telepathy, and have no issues with other languages, as they are able to quickly understand most spoken languages when they hear them, as well as using their telepathy to study the language of the one they are holding a conversation with. Fortunately, most of the six races have adopted a common language, so they have not had to use their language-reading skills very often. Their use of telekinesis is evident in their weapons, which are mainly melee weapons that are lunged at a range, or weapons that manipulate matter around them, like lightening-rifles, personal gravity controllers, and acid-based weaponry.

 

As the various conflicts between most of the races of the galaxy have ended in unsteady ceasefires, we have been living in a few decades of peace. However, crime has risen, and is becoming much more widespread, with the development of teleportation, allowing for quick getaways, as well as almost guerrilla-esque attacks on areas of high criminal activity.

 

Luckily, with the rise of crime, there has also been a rise in the need for bounty hunters. With crime appearing almost everywhere in the galaxy, bounty hunting has almost become akin to a competitive sport, with all races participating in it. You have chosen to live the life of a bounty hunter, and you will find yourself teaming up with some unlikely friends as you begin your journey to riches and fame..

 

...in a old, beat up freighter...

 

Good luck.

Name:
Gender:
Relative Age (Pony Years):
Race:
Picture/Description:
Short Bio:
Personality:
Starting Weapon: (Guns are fine, but remember, don’t get OP with it)

Here’s my filled out example.

 

Name: Nyla

 

Gender: Female

 

Relative Age (Pony Years): 36

 

Race: Slythin


Picture/Description: The lower half of her body is like that of a snake, covered in greenish-blue scales. Instead of hair, she has something akin to the dorsal fins of a fish, except that the cartilage in between the spines is a light green color, and it all slopes off to one side, while the other side of her scalp is covered in dark tribal tattoos. She also has the upper body of pony, albeit covered in scales instead of a coat. Her front legs also have matching tattoos going down them, ending just before the hooves.

 

Short Bio: Nyla spent her early years on Jyltha, as the young of her kind normally do. Her parents were both killed in a conflict against the Talas long ago, but she holds no grudge, as she never knew her parents to begin with. She longed to travel the stars, and when she reached maturity, she left on a colonization ship that was heading for uncharted areas of space.
The journey was fine, but just as they had began to reach their destination, they were attacked by pirates. Their ship was destroyed, and Nyla wouldn’t have survived if she hadn’t found some spare oxygen gear in time. She was one of the few survivors of the attack, saved a few days later by a passing cargo ship. Since then, she has trained in the ways of her people’s warriors, hoping to hunt down outlaws in her future.

 

Personality: Easy to get along with, although a bit eccentric. Very touchy-feely, except towards felons, whom she holds a deep distaste for.

Starting Weapon: Attachments to her teeth that make her venom not only paralyzing, but also fatal, should she choose to activate them. She also has a few other attachments that make her venom have different effects, such as tranquilizer, acid, or even a beneficial pair that can help heal low-level poisons in the blood of the recipient of the bite.

RP STARTS BELOW THIS LINE

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

It was a nice spring day on the JetLag Spaceport, thanks to simulated weather systems. The air within the station felt warm, but not uncomfortable. There are many creatures running around, doing this and that, looking generally busy. The rumbling of the engine of a few cruise ships could be heard, as well as the cheering of its passengers. Not too far from an area where cargo ships came in, being locked into place with a few large robotic arms as a few workers came with a mobile stairway in order to obtain the cargo from the ship. 

 

Not too far from there, there was a holographic postboard with a few messages on it, displayed in floating text with a blue aura surrounding it. Most of the messages had headlines such as "Bounty Hunter wanted! Large credit reward!" or "Bandit at large, reward for live capture!" Reading this message board was a Slythin, by the name of Nyla. She carried a small pack at her side, which contained some snack foods, dried jerky and similar meats, along with a few metallic, fang-like objects. She seemed particularly interested in a message which read "Want to hunt down bandits? Join us! Vehicle provided, all races welcome!"

Posted 22 May 2014 - 12:29 AM

Light Spectrum stepped out of a small shop wearing a long, black cloak and hood. She quickly looked side to side and dashed away from the shop and into the busy spaceport. Following her was a much smaller cloak, zipping around just behind her. Spectrum stopped, but ther smaller cloak dod not. It crashed into Spectrum's head with a small *thunk*.

 

"Topaz...shhhh!" said Spectrum to the small cloak.

 

The tiny face of a parasprite peeked out from inside the dark garment. It smiled and quietly squeaked at Spectrum. She sighed at the little parasprite's dialoge.

 

"I don't like wearing this stuff either, but we should go unnoticed for now. If you want to take it off though, you can hide in my mane." said Spectrum.

 

The parasprite chriped and flew into Spectrum's mane, disappering into its depths. Spectrum then looked around for the postboard the shopkeeper told her about. It only took a little searching for Spectrum to find the flashing screen. She watched several messages pop up, but then she saw one that caught her eye. Spectrum slowly walked toward the sign.

 

"Bounty Hunter...Alright now what starport is it on?..." Spectrum muttered to herself.

 

Her mind on other things, Spectrum accidentally bumped into a Slythin watching the sign just like her.

 

"Oh...sorry." said Spectrum, "But do you know what starport the bounty hunter ship is on?"

Nyla let out a small 'oof!' when Spectrum bumped into her. She looked down' noticing the cloaked pony that had accidentally trotted into her.

"Oh! No, you're fine." She assured her.

"I was actually just reading that one." She laughed, squinting her eyes at the message.

"Looks like it's not at a spaceport, but at a little outpost on a little desert moon nearby Jyltha." She smiled.

"I was planning on going where this sign led me . Wanna find a ride with me?"

Spectrum weighed the pluses and minuses of going with this Slythin. She did have somewhere to be and there were strength in numbers.

 

"Alright." said Spectrum, "I'm Light Spectrum by the way. And this is Topaz."

 

At the sound of her name, the little parasprite poked its head out from Spectrum's mane. It flew out from under her hood and gave a tiny energetic chirp.

 

"What's your name?" asked Spectrum.

Arcane was to be frank, lost inside the big station, a bit too shy to actually ask for directions he just wandered randomly until he reached a bulletin board, searching it for any signs of where he is or where he should go when a notification caught his eye "hmmmm bounty hunters?" He thought to himself "I'm not much for fighting but they may need someone who knows their way around a ships inner workings" he continued, reading where the place was "okay all I need to do is find out where that is" he thought and like a miracle he heard someone say that exact place which caused him to jump a bit and look around, quickly finding them. He casually moved a bit closer "should I ask them?" He asked himself, turning it over in his mind "You know what? They're probably going there so I'll just follow them!" He thought himself happily as he waited for them to lead him to a possible new job.

The cheerful Slythin reached to Spectrum's hoof and shook it, laughing with a little smile.

 

"Nyla. And your little pet is so adorable!" She reached out a hoof for it to land on, forgetting to even ask Spectrum if it was alright. She also managed to coil her long tail around Spectrum in an awkard Slythin hug, as was customary from her homeworld.

Topaz chirped merrily as she landed on Nyla's hoof. Spectrum also returned Nyla's hug, albiet using her hooves instead of a Slythin's snake body.

 

"Well I have a little date with the bounty hunter transport. Could you lead the way?" asked Spectrum.

"Who's an adorable wittle pet? Who's a- oh." Nyla blushed a little, switching her focus from Spectrum's pet to the task at hand. She let the parasprite go, uncoiling herself from Spectrum.

 

"Uhh... sure!" She smiled, turning and heading in the direction of the nearest ship going to that moon, bumping into a Fasaajiir near the message board.

 

"Oh! Sorry.." She backed up, making sure she hadn't hurt him.

He jumped quite a bit from the unexpected bump "uh it's okay" he said to her "I shall live to fight another day" he continued jokingly " well I guess I could ask now" he thought to himself "I hear you and your friend were heading to that moon near Jyltha? Mind if I come with you?" He said to her, gesturing to spectrum when he mentioned friend

Nyla quirked her brow when Arcane spoke. She had never held a conversation with a Fasaajiir before, so hearing something speak when it has no mouth to do it with was an odd experience. Nonetheless, she shook her head clear.

 

"Sure, the more the merrier, I suppose." She laughed.

 

"My name's Nyla, this is Spectrum." She pointed to the cloaked pony.

 

"Can I ask your name, Fasaajiir?" She said, slithering along towards the ship.

"Yeah my name is arcane, nice to meet you Nyla" he blurted out as the whole laughing thing was quite... Well alien to him, he'd never really talked with something that wasn't his kind so he shared Nyla's discomfort with forms of speech, realising he was just standing there silently trying to figure out if the laugh was a good thing he quickly forgot about it and started following her "so are you after that bounty hunter job?" He asked because there were very few other reasons to go to a desert moon

"Yessir." Nyla spoke up.

 

"Any opportunity to get moving and see the universe is a good one in my book." She slithered along, taking out a small piece of jerky and absentmindedly eating it bit by bit.

 

"What about you? What do you guys wanna go bounty hunting for?" She asked after getting halfway through her piece of jerky.

Topaz flew back and landed on Spectrum's shoulder.

An Unusually large Talas lumbered through the crowds in the station.  He barely had to watch where he was going as most everyone took one look and gave him plenty of room.  on his shoulder was slung an old M240B-like heavy machine gun.  and dragging behind him, in his other arm was a handcuffed unicorn pony, who looked like he got with a ton of bricks (which wasn't far from the truth.  The pony spoke loudly in a Brooklyn like accent,  "you'z gotz the wrong pony! I keep tellin' ya."  The Talas gave the pony a quick tug, throwing it off balance, then spoke in a deep, slightly-slurred, lumbering voice.  "Do you ever stop talking?!"

 

The Talas dragged the pony up to the bill-board and, picking up his prisoner with one hand pushed his face up to one of the wanted posters.  "So..." the Talas began.  "You're telling me this isn't you?"  The unicorn was starting to panic now.  "uhh... heh heh... no.  Seez, that's mize twin brotha.  Yea.... that's him alright."  "How stupid do think I am?!" the Talas said as he angrily gave the unicorn a gruff shake.  He put the unicorn back down.  "we're going to go cash you in now."  The Talas said, only pausing for a brief moment to read a sign that said something or other about a job on a nearby moon.  "Hmm... that looks interesting enough." he said, half to himself, and have to the bounty he caught.  "heh heh... yea... maybe you should just forgets about me..." The unicorn tried to bargain.  "forget about it... let's go." The Talas frowned, and then began to walk off to the precinct inside the station, to claim his reward.

Spectrum, throwing caution to the wind for just a moment longer, asked, "Also...have either of you 2 heard of a place called Anur Phaetos?"

 

Topaz looked up at her owner, wondering why she would talk about that place to others that they had just met.

 

Spectrum thought of the transmission, safe in her saddlebag under her cloak, again. The horrible blackness of that place. Whether it be a planet or something else, Spectrum knew something was there. Because, no matter how hard she tried to find out, those words gave her a chill: Anur Phaetos.

 

((Quick question Sci. What would be the plural for others...Somepony, Somebody, SomeSlythin? :/))

"It's ok Topaz...I don't want to talk about it either." Spectrum replied.

"Fair enough." Said Nyla, who had now had her curiosity engaged. She had never heard about this strange place, Anur Phaetos, and was curious to find out just what is was.

 

"Is it... bad?" She asked, trying to get the gist of just what this place was.

Invictus was one of the workers that stood by the ships. The young unicorn was on Dock A, right under all the fancy billboards, but right up against all the docking action. She was sweeping these docks currently. On a good day, her job could be something much more interesting, like unloading cargo, or controlling the fuel pumps. But today, of all days, she had to sweep. Invictus could name every ship that came in from her old captain days, code name and all. This was a good spot to just watch sometimes, and remember the days of adventure, but if she was caught slacking, she would be punished. So this job was really grueling for Invictus, especially since she couldn't take any breaks, or even daze off for a moment. The next ship she saw come in was a beat up old freighter, which for some reason, just so happened to catch her eye. Out stumbled a ragtag crew, and in ran the unloaders to unpack their cargo bays. Invictus sighed... Missing when she was once part of a similar, ragtag group.

 

At first glance, Invictus seemed to be the typical young mare. In her prime, she was fit, healthy, and beautiful, but with one turn, it was inevitable to notice her stomach. She was obviously with child, far into it at that, and her tight uniform just made it more obvious. Even the way she behaved, by nature the mother seemed to be aware of everything around her, watching ever so closely as a defense mechanism for her and the foal. The baby was all Invictus had, which, with closer observation, you could see the loneliness and yearning for company. She wanted to be adventurous again, but she needed others... Badly. She was running out of time, this job and it's low pay were going to leave the both of them on the disease filled streets.

 

Invictus seemed positive, she hummed as she swept, and seemed to have a little swing going. She easily got distracted though, and decided upon herself that she needed a break. She stopped and stared up at the artificial sky. 'I've been sweeping these decks all day. These dirty sailors can't seem to keep the damn floor clean for 5 fucking seconds. I'm tired, I think a quick snack would be nice. But where do I go?' She thought to herself

 

The mare stopped in her tracks. She noticed while lost in her thoughts, she was accidentally staring right at one of the crew members that got off the ship that just recently docked. He/She probably noticed her. She perked her ears up, blushed, and turned away quickly. 'Please don't be mad, please don't be mad, please don't be mad' She repeated in her head

 

(( Whoever wants to interact with her, go ahead. Whoever replies first can say they were the one Invictus was accidentally looking at

 

EDIT: Oh, and read her new app if you haven't already ))

Arcane paused for a moment, he could obviously tell it was an uncomfortable subject but Nyla had already chosen to metaphorically chase after the subject so he chose metaphorically followed her "what makes the place interesting enough to ask two complete strangers what they knew about it?" He asked his curiosity sure as hell ignited and when most of your race become scientists who are all about being curious you know you wouldn't really give up a chance to find out something most likely important

Glacier took a few seconds to notice the mare in front of her. Her chitinous exoskeleton didn't have much in the way of nerves, meaning the bump didn't really make her feel anything. When she did notice, she glanced around, before remembering the Talas were the only other species as tall as her. She looked down, to see... A pony? A red one. 

 

She didn't know much about ponies. Their society apparently relied on a mutual trust, though with no hivemind. She found this a stupid system, easy to cheat. They also valued a single life far more than a strategic location, but they had powerful magic to counteract these flaws.

 

Well, she was told they had powerful magic. Really, she just thought all of them did. But magic wasn't much match for something as heavy as her charging into them.

 

She was starting to lose her train of thought, so she decided she should just question the squishy lifeform.

 

She leant down, her 6 eyes all peering into the windows of the pony.

 

"... Explain why you have walked into me"

 

She wasn't good at conversation starting.

Invictus dropped her broom in fright, but quickly picked it back up, and shrunk a little bit as she was looked down at. She shook a little bit too, afraid of the large being "S-sorry" She said "I wasn't paying attention ma'am... You can proceed... I'm sorry"

 

(( I'm going to change her personality, and her bio a little bit. Not much, her personality mostly ))

Arcane would of frowned if he had had a mouth but sadly he did not so it was difficult for him to express his disappointment "okay this better be worth the wait though" he said "anyway what's with the hood, afraid someone will see you?" He asked deciding to "change" the subject hoping that he would get something out of the crossbreed this way

All six of Glacier's eyes blinked. She could sense fear, especially pony fear. 

 

But it didn't mean she enjoyed causing it, unless the individual deserved it.

 

"You don't need to be sorry" She exhaled "I forgive you."

 

She looked around "What're your name?"

She stood a bit taller, relieved she wasn't going to be abused by a sailor, like they sometimes did, even when she made the simplest of mistakes. They could get really crabby, but hey, so could she with her expecting and all. With all different species around, some didn't really understand pregnancy. Some laid eggs, reproduced asexually, or had multiple children in a short period of time. It was understood they didn't understand how ponies had to go through 9 months of hell to obtain their young, and that these 9 months usually resulted in the female being bitchy. They had totally different anatomys, Invictus had no idea how the hell a Talas worked

 

"I'm Invictus" She smiled awkwardly, saluting like she was told to do "Welcome to the docks"

Glacier's eyes blinked again. That seemed to be something she did when she was searching for information in her head.

 

She stuck out an arm, with it's grip open to shake.

 

"Thank you, Invictus. I am Unmovable Glacier. Good to meet you"

Invictus shook, smiling, and a little more comfortable. At that moment, she had a idea, that randomly came into her head, but she pushed it out as quick as it entered. The unicorn didn't have much more to say, she looked the other direction

 

"Uh... Nice  ship you have there"

Spectrum quickly looked for a change of subject. While still looking, Topaz suddenly started jumping on her shoulder and squeaking like mad.

 

"Topaz....What's...-" started Spectrum.

 

Spectrum thought her heart stopped as she spotted a Slythin surrounded by 2 Talas. They were stopping everyone at random and asking them something, but Spectrum knew what it was they wanted.

 

"Soyouknowwheretheshipis?Greatlet'sgo" Said Spectrum as she dashed away, crashing into a red mare.

 

"Ow...I'm...sorry" Said Spectrum as she calmed down a little.

Invictus turned, only to be rammed by some type of crossbreed. She fell luckily on her side, with a thud. It knocked the wind out of her, and she groaned as she laid on the floor. There was no chance Invictus was going to, or wanted to, get up. Her extra weight said otherwise

Spectrum pulled the pony to her feet and quickly turned around. The Slythin had gotten much closer. Spectrum had to lead him away from everyone else.

 

"Topaz...Get to that Bounty Hunter ship and wait for me ok?" said Spectrum.

 

Topaz chirped in agreement and flew off. Spectrum picked up the broom that the pony had dropped and dashed into the middle of the walkway.

 

As she threw off her cloak and showed her entirity, Spectrum screamed, "HEY! FANGFACE!"

 

Spectrum threw the broom at the Slythin, hitting him in the face, and opened her wings and flew up to the next level of the spaceport.

"My broom!" Invictus said as she rubbed her bruised side. She winced in pain from that, and a sharp kick the foal gave her. The mare growled, and dug in the pocket of her uniform. In it, she found a ring, and put it around the horn. This was just a standard ring, that a unicorn put on, and they could cast one advanced spell. In this case, Invictus casted a spell that brought her up to the next level. She stood in front of Spectrum, angered "Give me my broom!"

"I'm sorry, but i can't just pull your broom out of thin air." said Spectrum angrily, "And also, if you can't see, that Slythin is coming after me and Topaz."

 

Spectrum turned around and jumped off of the platform. Landing on the Slythin, Spectrum bared her fangs, bit the snake, and grabbed the broom. Then, she flew out toward the Bounty Hunter space ship. Dashing into the hold, the Slythin and Talas lost track of Spectrum in the mass of ponies. Spectrum dashed into the ship and flew into one of the sleeping dorms.

Once the two were off, Invictus was able to muster up the little bit of magic needed to get her back on the lower deck. She closed her eyes tightly, concentrated, and the ring had enough charge to bring her back. She sighed, not wanting to bother with the two sailors who were fighting. Invictus headed over, and looked down to her broken broom "Yeah" she said to herself "It's break time"

 

Before leaving, she looked around for other sailors causing mischief. She really wanted a explanation for what those two other sailors were doing

Wolf dropped off his bounty and collected his money via a swipe of a card.  Being a 'regular' at the station provided him with the luxury of a direct deposit into his account for every collection.  "Thank for bringing him in, come back again soon." the officer at the desk said.  Wolf walked back to the billboards to take another look at that sign to see if he was interested in it.  He looked across the room just as a pregnant, pony mare was bumped into and knocked over by some pony-slythin crossbreed.  "Little ponies should watch where they're going," he muttered to himself.  Which, was really an irony, as the Big Talas wasn't watching himself... and was assuming, as usual, that other's would move for him.  He got back to the billboard and began to try and read the sign, even if it took him a while.

Glacier glanced down at the slythin hybrid abomination who'd just rammed into the pony she'd befriended.

That was not okay, especially when the pony seemed to have another life form developing inside of her.

She grabbed the slythin and hoisted her into the air.

"you are going to get her broom. Understand?"

Before she went on her break, Invictus looked at the pieces of her broken broom. She put the two pieces together, but knew it would have to take some type of adhesive or tape to keep them bonded. The mare sighed, knowing that her boss really had no sympathy for anything, and that he didn't take 'excuses'. There was a chance she wasn't going to get paid today if he saw the broken broom. Invictus' story would probably be ignored, and she would be blamed for it, because of the sexism around the base.

 

She sat down, looking at the ground, and sighing. Leaving her post would only make it worse. When she looked back up though, she saw her new friend that she bumped into earlier, scolding the hybrid that rammed into her. Invictus tilted her head to the side, she wasn't really mad, it was her fault for being in the way.

 

"You don't have to do that" she sighed "I shouldn't of been in the way"

((Umm...Spectrum already flew away...))

 

The slythin was enraged that Spectrum had evaded him again. But then he thought of an idea. The slythin turned toward the pony, the Fasaajir, the Alveare, and the other Slythin.

 

"I don't think that we have met yet." said the Slythin, "I am Commander Pythor. Now to cut to the chase. That...freak...just got away again. I can't seem to catch her, but that's where you all come in. If you can catch her and bring her to my base of operations on the planet Mor-Ortisi, then I shall make it up to you. And know...no price is too high. So good day, and I hope to see you."

 

Pythor slithered away, but his Talas bodyguards remained.

 

"Here is Pythor's galactic number." said one of the bodyguards as he put a card on Inviticus' head, "Only call if you either catch the freak or deny his offer. And, *takes Inviticus' broom and repairs it* here is your broom."

 

With that, the 2 Talasi turned toward the direction of Pythor and followed him out.

"I want to know what the hell that was all about... I'm not gonna turn her in, she seems like a nice enough pony." She said, before realizing that there was yet another pony nearby.

 

"Are you alright?" She asked, making sure she wasn't hurt. She was an expecting mother, for a long time, it seemed, and she wanted to make sure that neither her nor her child had been hurt.

Glaciar blinked yet again. She'd read the slythin laws. You didn't "Return" Convicts. You killed them.

 

This led to her thinking that perhaps this 'Commander' wasn't all that legitimate.

 

She turned her head to one of the bodyguards "You are hired and not even loyal to the slythin, correct?"

One of the Talas halted and turned around. He stared at Glacier and whispered, "Ask Pythor...But know this, Spectrum must be caught at all costs. And don't trust anything she may say."

 

With that, the Talas joined his other bodyguard and left the group.

She watched as this all went down, sort of confused by it all. She wasn't any part of whoever the hell this group was. Once she got her broom back, she would of went back to work, but not too far off she saw her boss staring her down, infuriated.  Invictus could already tell she wasn't getting paid today, she passed so many of his lines

 

Invictus, though not in her common nature, lashed out at the Slythin's question after it was asked "No! I am NOT alright!". The mare pulled the sticker off her head, and threw it on the ground "I don't even know any of you, and this is how you behave?! I know sailors can be a little rude when they sometimes are loud, throw their cigarette buds where, leave trash on the decks, or get themselves so drunk they can't find their ships, but THIS is ridiculous! You know, some ponies are just trying to do their damn job so they don't get fired! I got trucked in the side by some stranger, have my broom broken, then get shit put on my head like some type of fool! Is this what being a sailor is all about? Abusing a pregnant woman? When I was a sailor I had some fucking HONOR!" she yelled loudly

 

She breathed heavily, cooling down from a fit of anger she rarely had, but the influences from her emotions and pregnancy, forced her to have.

Glaciar looked as solemn as her alien head could show. She felt sympathy for the red unicorn. If anyone was to abuse her queen, she would've killed them without hesitation. She didn't know exactly how pony biology worked, were the mothers queens? It didn't matter, the principle was the same.

I'd rather find another job. If you gave me some food and somewhere to sleep, I could always be some type of cleaning mare for your ship. I may be held back by a baby in a few weeks, but I'll still work diligently when I can... Anything to get me out of this place"

Sivia slowly shuffled around. It was her break, something she had only recently acquired with a small promotion. Unfortunately, the break was merely thirty minutes long. She quickly spotted one of her co-workers talking with another creature. She recognised it as part of the race know as Alveare Venandi. They were quite rare around the spaceport. They were all of the same mind after all.

She longingly looked at the holographic bill board. Pretty much the same. Rewards for bounty hunters. She could be a bounty hunter if she could ever get away from her horrible job. It was a low paying job for someone with low standards. She has no low standards. Sivia licked her teeth before giving out a soft whimper of pain. Her fangs were small. That didn't mean they weren't sharp.

Sivia had little interaction around the spaceport, with both her colleagues and the various creatures who were boarding. Maybe it was time to make some friends. She didn't normally do that. After recovering from her accidental bite she made her way to the pony she noticed earlier. Instead of one creature with her there were now two. One even the same race as her beloved Grandmother. Gathering the little confidence she had she started to mumble.

"Hello..."

"Yeah! I'm coming, that I am. Thank Celestia, I can't thank you enough Glacier. I also didn't thank you for being protective of me. Sometimes I can be a bit cowardly, which is one of the reasons my days of being a captain didn't last very long" Invictus happily trotted along with them, until being stopped by one of her co-workers. Her eyes widened, she hoped the boss wasn't going to ruin this for her. She could just leave, right? Invictus would just be fired, that's all, and she hated this job anyway

 

"Uh... just tell the boss I quit. I'm not on contract or anything" She smirked at Sivia

The boss was a complete idiot with the only idea for a brawn. He also had no respect for his workers. Who knows, this could be her chance for an escape from this hell-like pit.

Arcane had been mainly been frozen having too much of an overreactive panic attack to really pay much attention to the insane scenario that unfolded around him but a bit after the slythin and talas left he finally snapped out of it "bring her in? I mean she may be a possible criminal going to do something bad but still first of all I'd need help and secondly she might not even be the bad guy! Maybe the slythin and talas were that bad guys!" He thought to himself turning to Nyla "well she certainly needed to make a quick exit, does she usually do that?" He asked Nyla

As James walked trough the crowd of the strange alienk species and ponies, he saw a billboard, taking a quick peek to see his name and a photo of him, coupled with a small reward next to him. "Ugh, i need to find a ship, get out of this place.." He scurried around, getting pushed every so often by a passerby.

After a few minutes of walking, he saw a group of all types of races walking towards something, he got a bit scared as he saw that all of them had weapons, he suspected the worst, bounty hunters.. "I guess ill tail them for a while.." He spoke in a silent yet hurried voice, looking as how the Alveare cracked his secondary knuckles.

He stayed behind, looking at them.

Invictus looked up at the billboard everyone seemed to be looking at. She smiled slightly "I see what's going on here. We're all misfits, outcasts,or just a little lost in life, and we all have the common goal" She pointed up at the board "And that is what it is, that is what we're all going to do to change us.

I'm sure it's better for the foal anyway, to be born into a world where we're free, instead of being anchored down at this hell hole"

 

She looked back at James "And I know what you're thinking too, following and listening in. If you want to join us, we don't oppose. But you may have to ask the captain"

The Alveare was already motivated, and the speech had little effect on her.

"What road is there to hit in the endless vacuum of space?"

That was the only thing she felt she could reply with.

"None." She simply said "The choices of what we can do with ourselves right now is infinite. I say we hop on that cargo ship and hunt that bounty, so we can get some bits for a ship of our own. If I haven't said it already, I used to be a captain and pilot of my own cruiser. I went to the flight academy for 4 years of my life too. I got stuck here after my fiance, also the foals father, died when some pirates hijacked my ship. I wasn't a good leader, so most of my crew left before it happened. I was so distraught... I just thought I could never do anything like it again. But if he were still alive, he would want me to stay where I belong. So be it, I want my baby to live that free life too. The reason it went so wrong, was my fault, and this time I won't make the same mistakes"

 

"Sorry I'm being so.. Motivational and corny"

 

After speaking to them, Invictus looked at James and answered him "We haven't seen him yet, but according to the crew, he's a laid back guy who would have no problem taking a few more souls on board. That would be me, you, and her over there. I didn't catch your names by the way, I'm Invictus" She shook James hoof, then Sivia's

Nyla stayed quiet, shrugging as she truly didn't know why the mare did what she did.

 

"Well, we ought to head out of here before anycreature else decides to tag along with us. I don't imagine the ship taking us is going to have a grand amount of space." She said, laughing a little nervously as she finished off the piece of jerky she had started earlier.

Wolf noticed James kept eyeing the signs.  "it's getting a little claustrophobic in this port isn't it, lil' pony?" he said to James, raising an eyebrow.

"Jyltha damn it..." Nyla muttered under her breath.

 

"Fine. If I don't get a decent seat in it, I'm not standing." She growled, now in a sour mood. She was hoping for just one other partner, but now it would seem that they had an entire entourage with them, perhaps even a small army if they waited long enough, as anycreature in this group seemed to have a magnetic quality that attracted others. 

 

'By this rate, we'll discover a new species if we wait for a day.' She thought.

 

"Come on, all who are going to the nearest ship to the Jylthan moon, Psey'tek..." She slithered off, not waiting for the others. 

 

Psey'tek was a deity in ancient Slythin religions, believed by the tribal hunters of millenniums past to have been a god that protected them from the blackness of night. This led to it being named Psey'tek, which means 'Night Guardian' in Slythin-tongue. When Slythin developed space travel, they discovered that the moon also supports life, albeit on a rather small scale, just some brush dotting the landscape, and some large beasts. The moon is home to a small colonial outpost, mostly churches who still believe that the moon is a deity, or prospectors that hope the moon is rich in minerals or oil.

 

Nonetheless, the only reason Nyla wanted to go was to get some excitement for once. She didn't care about the various gods and goddesses of her people, nor if the planet was rich in resources. She simply wanted to do something different in her life, after spending all of her childhood on a planet with one continent.

arcane awkwardly followed her "well things certainly have gone insane quickly" he thought to himself looking around at the group of bounty hunters or in the case of a few soon to be bounty hunters "I didn't think that many creatures would go for such an odd job, I mean I'm not any better since I'm kinda going for the job too but at least I'm not doing as much as being a one-man fix up crew for their ship" he continued thinking beginning to have a sliver of doubt about this whole thing

Invictus seemed a little nervous, scratching her head. She went to open her mouth, but closed it as she followed them. It seemed like she had something to say, but wasn't sure how to get it out, and kept getting interrupted. It was mostly because she wasn't sure how it would work out, and if they would trust her. Also, she wanted to protect this secret she had. Invictus sighed, and after several attempts, she finally stopped and spoke 

 

"Well... I didn't know you guys didn't have a ship. That original carrier, I thought that was your own, but it seems you guys are roamers... I told you guys I was a captain, and I actually have a freighter at the other dock. It hasn't flown in a few months, and is real beat up, but the docks keep it space worthy. I haven't used it, well, because it doesn't have a crew. If I had a couple of hands, we could use it to get out of here" She gulped

 

The freighter, located at the opposite dock, was smaller than most cargo ships. It was fairly nice, technology wise, but was a beater that Invictus had got for cheap when she had dreams of being a independent shipping company. It had twin engines, a large cargo bay, a row of okay crew quarters, and a fully functioning bridge, but the engines would fail sometimes under pressure, the thing had bad control, and even worse stopping. It looked like a beater from the outside too, the only good thing is that it had good speed. In open space, that was good because you didn't have anything to crash into, but the ship had slow reaction time, so that speed couldn't be used anywhere else unless you wanted to crash. Now the question was, why Invictus didn't want to sell it so she didn't have to live on the streets. She refused to get rid of the final resting place of her fiance, with how hard she worked for the ship was unmatched too, and couldn't make her simply sell it. Even if she did sell it, it would make her few bits, being that the model of carrier was banned from certain parts of the galaxy because of it's old style engines. But hey, it flew, so why not mention it?

"Well, if you know the way to Psey'tek, I'm sure it'd be a lot cheaper." Nyla smiled, turning to the red unicorn.

 

"We better get some stuff before we go though, mainly food. There's not much on Psey'tek for herbivores." She said, embarrassed at how useless her people were to most of the other races.

Sivia thought for a moment. It was nice to have something to ponder on for once instead of worrying out her job and everyday life. It was uncommon for her to actually have time to even think. Sometimes she liked to think how her life would ago and she just maybe got a chance to change her better. Probably for the better, considering the place she worked could be likened to,Tartarus despite not believing in the thing.

"Um, I think that, if we all pitch in, we could sustain our needs by sharing money. I'm sure we'd have enough.." She bit her lip before giving out a whimper. It then started bleeding, she wiped it clean and sighed. She always did that especially when she was nervous. Always nervous of messing up and losing her home. Thinking about it, she guessed she didn't need to worry about it anymore.

I have people I need to discuss business with there... that's all.  I'll pay whoever for my part of the trip.  If there's no room, I can find another ride.  Nothing wrong with trying to save some money right?"  The Talas smiled, forgetting about the suspicious looking earthpony.  "And further more, if we come across any pirates, you just have to put me on the vid-com, and I'd bet they'd keep their distance!" the Talas started laughing... which sounded more like someone holding out one long note while singing.  It was loud and obnoxious as the Talas was Big and mean-looking.

"I have a few credit-bits I can share, as I have snack foods for a while..." Nyla said, already starting on her second piece of jerky.

 

Her teeth-attachments clinked around in her pack, and she quickly took out a pair, as this spaceport had a bit of a suspicious feeling about it, especially with all these ponies suddenly appearing. The pair she put on were a silver color, with a small vial in the center of the attachment containing a light blue liquid. She put them on quickly, but if she were to open her mouth wide enough, they were fairly noticeable, a fair warning to any petty thieves with their minds on her money.

Spectrum looked out the viewing platform of the ship. She could see the small group of creatures that she had just been a part of. She could see the mass of creatures going on with their everyday life, but Spectrum did not see what was so important.

 

"Topaz, you said that there was something important that I had to see so-" started Spectrum.

 

She was cut off of the frantic pointing of the parasprite. Spectrum looked in the direction of Topaz's pointing, and was utterly shocked. The large jumbo screen now showed a split screen. One half showed a picture of Spectrum, and the other half had several lines of text which said, "Wanted: Light Spectrum, Crimes: Theft of Important Government Files, Actions: Assailent is to be captured alive and brought to the moon Mor Ortisi, Reward: 1,000,000,000 Credits. Assailent is armed and extreamly dangerous."

"Threaten her again and I'll do more than just show these off." She hissed.

Invictus put her sword down "1 billion credits?! It's not like me, but that would make my life, the baby's life, my entire family's, and all of you plus your family's lives, worry free for generations and generations! What ever Spectrum did to have such a huge reward put on her, is apparently bad enough for her to deserve it. I'm sorry, but even if I didn't do it out of greed, Spectrum would never, EVER, be aloud on my ship with such a bounty over her head. We would have a entire army chasing after us! I'm not taking that risk"

 

"I don't know you Spectrum, but at least you're getting out of this alive"

 

(( ... Helix... That's a bit dramatic. I will guarantee you Invictus will absolutely turn her in, no matter what. Anyone in their right mind would turn her in for something so massive ))
