Bryce smiled as the girl blurted out a series of lines, followed by a few other introductions. He loosened his tie a bit more and replied.

"Special Agent Jayson Bryce, UNIA Technical Crimes Division. Ya'll can call me Bryce...And no, darlin', you get used to it after a few years."

He glanced around waiting for someone else to speak, or to get a glance at the base though the window. The final frontier they called it, space, in his mind, was nothing more than another assignment.

IC: Kyle Roy
Convoy

Kyle reopened his Laptop and slouched back into the chair. He opened the program he was working on, a virtual map creator. Kyle started typing faster than he could blink, the codes were spilling in. After about five minutes Kyle had finished the program. Kyle took a CD and placed it in the Laptop Drive. The data downloaded onto the disk. With a smile Kyle placed the disk in a case and set it on his lap. He took out a case that had holders for Kyle’s program disks. He placed in near the schematics for a Laser Gun.

Kyle looked around to hear the same man now reply.

“Special Agent Jayson Bryce, UNIA Technical Crimes Division. Ya'll can call me Bryce...And no, darlin', you get used to it after a few years."

He nodded and continued to look for one of his program documents for a self driving car, which he had been working on back home. But Kyle never got the time to finish it, due to this mission he wanted to be a part of. He turned on the document then flipped the screen around and flattened it on the keyboard of the laptop. Now he could drag the car around and test in from touch screen. Kyle wasn’t paying attention to anyone else after he heard Jayson speak. Kyle glanced up to see how far they were away from the lauch site, or where they needed to go.

Of Ryan Adams in the Middle of Nowhere, Convoy

Ryan sat back and listened to the myriad of introductions, waiting for his chance to speak. As the pale man, who called himself Bryce, finished, Ryan walked over to the rest of the team.

"The name's Ryan B Adams, Engineer aboard spacefaring vessels for nearly sixteen years, Chief Engineer for the last five of those."

He looked around, waiting for another to speak up. And that brought up an interesting question; where was, or who of these men and women would be, the captain?

IC: Jaden Kellen

The others seemed somewhat talkative, at least Madison did. The rest seemed somber or simply quiet and serious. Even though he didn't feel like talking with anyone at the moment he cracked a smile and spoke up.

"Hey, this kinda sounds like a "trouble annonimous" meeting. well, then I guess I'm next. My names Jaden, or Dr. Kellen, whichever you are more comfortable with. I don't fly or fix computers or anything like that. I don't know a thing about computers actually. I fix people though."

He leaned back in his seat and wondered, where the captain was and what, exactly, was about to happen.

Marric nodded, "Good to know, last time in space the doctor caught something and we had to do with our pilot who had the most medical training."

IC as Installation 03 Commander Smythe

A clear, calm voice cut through the dark silence of 03's epicentre.

"What's our ETA on the reserve team, people?"

One of the many techies in the room looked towards the Brit's location at the rear of the room. Commander Smythe cut quite a clean figure in his uniform, making the simple, drab olive clothes look almost distinguished. His hair was graying at the temples, and cut short, held in it's classic style by (seemingly) force of will alone. A small, clean mustache was perched over his upper lip, emphasizing his strong jawline.

He held a pipe in his right hand, the other held behind his back, at ease and yet alert and prepared.

"About ten minutes, sir." came the answer.

Smythe nodded sharply. Almost time...

Tag: All players - another post is coming, but I thought I'd give a little warning before tossing you into another situation.

IC: Jayson Bryce
Convoy -- ETA 10 Minutes

"Trust me, a bloke who can fix people is just as important as the one who fixes the computers. Hopefully, Doc, neither of our services will be needed and we get to enjoy an intergalactic vacation of sorts." He said with a grin.

Truth was, while his technical capacities outreached those of anyone here, it wasn't his only job on this mission. Sure he'd be most handy if a computer freaked out, but he was also running protection, from both inside and outside forces.

Spacer's Syndrome was always a worry on missions where members of the crew had never been into space for extended periods of time. No one quite understood what caused it, whether it was mental imbalance exasperated by a cramped environment, or just the complete vastness of space that sent people into crazy fits, but either way, people had been known to kill others and themselves. The occasions were rare, albeit, but they did happen.

Also, though the government would refuse to admit it, Bryce's Paranormal background may have been of some interest to them too. Who better to send into space than the guy that believes in aliens and just might be able to kill them.

Bryce glanced over to the man working on a computer, with a stack of micro-disks in his lap. He craned his neck, hoping to get a glimpse of the screen.

"Whatcha workin' on mate? Tryin' to figure out a way to optimize engine capabilities to speed our mission...or are you just playin' some videojuegos?"

OOC:
Just a reminder, everyone, we are almost 50 years into the future, hopefully we've made some leaps and strides in technology. Impossible things are known to happen in a short succession of years (Just look at the modern PC) and no one is going to question you on Technology as long as it is reasonable. Think future.

"Whatcha workin' on mate? Tryin' to figure out a way to optimize engine capabilities to speed our mission...or are you just playin' some videojuegos?"

Kyle looked up at the man trying to look at his car schematics, he pressed a button that made a hologram screen shot up for all to see. Kyle poked his finger into the middle, which changed the color of the car. Kyle then changed the wheels with hover generators, then the holographic car started floating.

“Just a new car, also a new gun, and a robot” Kyle replied pressing tow buttons making to other hologram screens pop up, showing a Droid and gun. “Almost done though, but there might be bugs” Kyle added. Kyle saved the programs and took out the disks from the 3-disk reader. Kyle then placed them back in the case, taking out only one other. He carefully placed it in there and a hologram screen came up. It was blank at first until Kyle plugged it into an outlet inside the car. All the vitals, malfunctions, problems, and schematics came up for this convoy.

“This is a program that when you enter the disk it will do nothing, until it was plugged it” Kyle explain, adding “Then it tells you everything about the system, ship, vehicle, or Security System”. Kyle smiled as he looked at his screen.

IC: Mitsuko

Mitsuko gazed at the holographic car. Designing and making such things were not her field, but she could admit there was an elegance in the intricacy of the car. She turned to the others and moved her sholders forward in a kind of informal bow.
"Dr Akamura. Mitsuko. I'm from Kyoto in Japan." Although that part was probably obvious. She glanced over at Jaden with a slight frown. She preffered to work on her own, and surely if she was as good as she'd been told she would not require any help in the medical centre. Aware that she may be staring and being quite rude as a first impression, Mitsuko thought it may be best to start conversation.
"Dr Kellen. I was wondering if you were aware of whether the ship's medical centre had a nano or laser scalpel? I know the nano scalpel is more suited to highly detailed surgery, but I thought maybe we were being equipped for any eventuality."

Clark "Donnie" Donovan
Convoy

Clark Donovan looked around at the rest of the ship's crew. Of the team, he was the youngest and probably possessed the least authority of any of them. To his left sat two doctors discussing medical tools; to his right, an engineer was showing off various technology he had developed. Truth be told, Donnie was starting to feel a little like he was in over his head, rolling through the desert with some of the brightest geniuses (or is it genii, Donnie wondered) from around the world, and in no time he was going to be in outer space of all places - it was all a lot to take in.

Taking a deep breath, Donnie introduced himself. "Hi everybody. My name's Clark Donovan, but I'm mostly called Donnie."

The other doctor, Mitsuko, seemed to be completely professional. Jaden could play like that.

"I don't know, Dr Akamura. I would hope that they would have both, just in case. Im hopeing that we will not have need of either though. I would rather my skills not have to be used, since that would mean someone in this vehicle would be hurt."

He didn't feel like keeping up the small talk. For one of the first times in his life he did't actually feel like talking. A new and strange feeling for him.

When the other doctor fell silent, Mitsuko wondered whether she had said something wrong. She shrugged it off however. She didn't want any fatalities either, but she would do her job and a part of that was being prepared. That is what she had learnt at medical school and it was something she would carry with her.
Medical school seemed like such a long time ago, the friends she had made there. Was Dr. Kellen freash out of school like her? He might be, and that meant he was in the same position as her.
"I apologise if I said something to offend or upset you Dr Kellen."

Madi had fallen silent by a great force of will, and was processing all she had just learned. She knew she wouldn't remember everyone's names or qualifications. Suppose we've got long enough together to get to know one another, nobody expected it would be a short mission. Even without saying it, or having it confirmed, Madi knew that this would be her last time on earth in a long time. She didn't know whether to be excited or disappointed.

She looked out the window, and gasped, she couldn't hold it in any longer. "Look guys, you can see the site!" It wouldn't be long now before they were on their way.

PROLOGUE

INSTALLATION 03







Smythe gave the order, and the posted guards opened the tunnel towards Installation 03. With a low hum, the heavy blast doors opened, slowly. The first track passed into a gray corridor that dipped down in a steady incline. The whole structure gave even the most indifferent viewer an uneasy feeling. 03 was underground, like some ancient monster waiting for it's next meal.

The first truck passed through and the gentle grade saw it disappear slowly. Next was the team's vehicle. A chill passed through each member. Some of the more philosophical-minded passengers saw this as the point of no return; the scientists would call it the event horizon; those with a dark sense of humour saw the irony in this name.

After an immeasurable time descending into the earth, they seemed to level off. It was much colder here, due in part to the heavy fans pumping in fresh air at a constant rate, and due in part to their depth. It was nearly two in the morning now, but it would feel like rush hour in a few minutes.

At last the vehicles came to a halt. Soldiers and 03 personnel ushered the team out of the truck and into the open. They caught a glimpse of the large depot they were in, before personnel brought them into another room.

"All right, just about there," said one, pressing a button on the wall. The room shook slightly, and all occupants felt their weight shift as the room began to move sideways. The telltale feeling of deceleration came about, and suddenly the room began to descend. This concept of the early 21st century was now a reality.

At long last they arrived in a comfortable room, after exiting the elevator and passing many closed doors. Furnishings were comfortable and beneficial to posture, if spartan in appearance. Drinks were served - nothing alcoholic, yet - and at long last, the ascetic Commander Smythe made his entrance.

"Right. You may call me Commander Smythe or Sir. I assume you don't know why you're here exactly, so I shall tell you, for time is of the essence."

Smythe looked about the room, as though daring someone to interrupt.

"The United Nations Aerovehicle Volkoff, our ship on assignment, is incommunicado. This is not public news yet, understandably; we haven't heard from them in a week."

A man in a gray suit entered from the door behind Smythe. The commander glanced over his shoulder irritably. The man dipped his head apologetically, sitting off to one side.

"Our regular systems update tells us that long-range comm systems have been offline since their last transmission two weeks ago. As they missed their scheduled check-in, something is definitely wrong. These are the best systems, and they don't just stop working."

Smythe exhaled slowly, as though this was threatening his perfect poise and posture, the order of his Installation.

"Excuse me. As I was saying, something is wrong. And you're going to find out what that is."

He looked about the room, as though it were perfectly clear that questions were to be asked.

The time for questions had aparently come around. "Is it safe to assume the vessel we will be on is going to be of the same class and design as the Volkoff?" Marric was fairly certain this was true but wanted to get the affirmative. If it had been an equipment failure, however unlikely, then the same might happen to them although Marric doubted it.
