RPG: "Lost Time of Memories"
Trident
Ranger
August 25, 2260. The Shadows have been gaining power and slowly taking their control of the galaxy.
In the Epsilon system, the jumpgate opens and a luxury cruiser jumps out of hyperspace and starts unloading it's passengers.
Brandon Recella walks onto the massive station for the first time in his life. This has been the first time he has left the Sol sector in search of something new in his life.
"Welcome to Babylon 5" a security officer says to me.
I nod to him and give him my security card. "Transfer From the Io station. Why did you leave?" The officer asked. "I wanted more." Was all I said to him before I started walking into the station. "Oh sir, you need to report to C&C for your room and orders." The Security officer said. I nodded to him and went to the panel to find the way to C&C.
That trip was a very long walk. I thought that the station back at IO was a marathon. The commander I talked to, I think her name was Ivanova. She was very stern and quite to the point. She actually scared me there for a second before she handed me a pad with my information.
I got to the room they assigned me. I started reading the information that the Commander gave me. "What.." I said as I read though it. I threw the pad down and flopped down onto my bed. "Waiting for reassignment. Transfer unknown. I thought they were going to station me here!" I yelled as pulled the sheet over my head to scream.

A small transports exits hyperspace at the Babylon 5 node and approches the station. The captain onboard hails C&C with the following message:
"I've got a passenger not on my list. I picked him up in hyperspace—he was just floating there. I think medical should take a look at him. He seems a bit crazy."
C&C sent a reply which was hardly worth noting, telling the transport to dock and unload his passenger. Dr. Franklin will be waiting at the bay.
The transport docks, and the passenger stands up.
"We're here. Finally. Now I can leave this insipid transport."
He fingers his sword, placing a curious glowing ring over the hilt, and the sword vanishes. With it still weighing at his belt, the Narn walks to the ramp, then steps down to the bay, where he waves cordially at Dr. Franklin.
"I'm fine, really. Just took a little nap in hyperspace while waiting for the transport. I knew Captain Gallstone would pick me up. Somehow I just knew."
At this point Dr. Franklin sedates the Narn and the next thing he knows is waking up in the infirmary several days later.
In the Med Lab, a very preturbed Narn wakes up to find it very dark and no one around.
[i]Ah, a medical ward.[/i]
He tries to sit up, only to find his arms bound.
[i]They think to bind me? Ah, that old captain told them I was crazy. They must think I am.[/i]
He flicked up his hand, drawing with his fingers a strange shimmering symbol in the air. As he released it from his fingertip, it shot backwards, engulfing his hand, wrist, and arm, and at each pasteel binding the case-hardened material splintered and fell to the floor. The rain of particles was almost silent, but the Narn knew it might be enough to waken a dormant sensor.
He sat still for several minutes, seeing if anyone came.
Then he flicked his other hand, drawing the same symbol, and breaking the bindings over there. Again he repeated it, twice, once for each leg.
He stood up and streatched.
[i]How typical of humans. Ignore the asylum patients.[/i]
Terrabill Ghens was a gambler. His father was a gambler, his grandfather was a gambler, even his great, great great great grandfather was a gambler. And thats where it all started Michael (they were the Gales then) won the real prize, his wife. He was a merchant mariner she was of course a navy nurse. He went from ship to ship trying to win his fortune. So did Ghens till he landed on Bablyon 5.
Getting to Babylon 5 was the easy part getting through security is another story. I could tell something was up when I got there some crazy narn was going on a rant about something. I thought I recognized someone but I didn't really care. The security officer was a nice guy "Welcome to Babylon 5 Home away from Home." That felt good I never had a home before even on Mars. "Wait a second your id card says you just came of the Ladoga" Well I thought he was a nice guy. "Yeah and...?" The Security Officer gave me this look like I was total worthless scum "Its not a Mars ship I'm gonna have to run this through with the chief" SHIT. I waited who knows how many nanoyears. Till he finally showed up it was Garibaldi had to be. "Garibaldi?" Good old Garibaldi what kinda luck did I have. "Bill!" "Its been too long how'd you end up on B5" I gave him that look that says you just lost everything you've worked for the past 4 years. "You know finally hit a brick wall on the Ladoga lost it all". He smirked "Decided finally to check in?" I smirked back "Hell no" The Chief gave the security officer a wink. "Hes cool let him through." I gave him my classic poker smile "Garibaldi I'll see ya around" Now to the tables. I got to the Darkstar Casino and jumped into the action. I yelled to the guy at the jukebox "Can we get some Jazz in here" Some Cannonball Addley came up, Exodus. I got a look from a guy in an EA Uniform. "Whats going down pal?" I took a look at my cards and grinned inwardly. This is gonna be a good [URL=http://www.partypoker.com/]Game[/URL]
[b]Charcater: None; commentary[/b]
When I use a color other than normal, it is speaking as other charaters on Babylon 5 not played by a human (aka NPCs). Each color will represent a different person in a post, should more than one character be used. There is no correlation from post to post. This way if I have a dialogue between several characters, it is easier to follow.

[COLOR=burlywood][b]Character: Admiral Higgins[/b]
The transcript of a communique is as follows:
[i]Commander Ivanova. This is Admiral Higgins, liason to Psi Corp. I have been informed by the Psi Cop Bester that Pilot "Thundercheif" Recella is to assist him in an undisclosed assignment. Inform Pilot Recella that he is to meet Bester on a transport outside the station in fourty-eight hours. The details of this meeting are in the attached sealed document that can only be opened by Pilot Recella. Bester will fill in Pilot Recella on all remaining details once he is abord the transport.[/i]
[/COLOR]
[COLOR=orange][b]Character: Commander Ivanova[/b]
Ivanova informs Recella exactly thirty minutes before he is to meet Bester, complete with the statement, "If you help Bester do anything to MY station, you will find yourself floating in space." As she turned to walk away, she added, "Without a fighter around you."
[/COLOR]
I left the Dark Star and did quite a jog to my room to get all of my things together. "Nothing like the EA." I opened the packet to read what was inside. My eyes went wide when I saw the big PSI Corps symbol. "Psi Corps? Holy crap this must be a very important mission. But why would they want me?" I said to myself and quickly disposed of the document as it listed and went exactly as the document said.
Thought cast:
Ah, Mr. Recella. It is a pleasure to meet you.
Yes. I quite know how Ivanova can be. Your tardyness is not your fault.
As for your assignment, I have four star furies.
No, they aren't Earth Force miltiary. Psi Corps is a separate entity. Anyway. I have three pilots. The last of this squadron is currently unable to be present. I need you to take one of the Star Furies to assist us. I understand your loyalties to Earth Force are solid. Do not disappoint me.

OOC: Trident, how much do you want me to lead and how much do you want to direct?
In the Medical room, the doors open up to find a minbari standing there. He says, "I know who you are. Follow me." The Minbari then turns and starts walking down the hallway and into a turbo lift. They then go to an observation deck and the minbari turns to the Narn and asks, "What is your perpose?"
Brandon just gets an extremly weird look as he heard the words in his head. "Ok, I'm your guy." Brandon says, not knowing exactly where to say the words too. He straps himself into the seemly empty transport and waits for what is to come next.
OCC: I'll start turning it when it needs it RC, I'll notify in the OCC thread.
Outside the Station the Jumpgate opens, a Minbari Flayer cruising into light..it takes upon a docking pattern, automatically requesting the Minbari Diplomatic bays.
Susan Ivonova, "Hello Illudian PU32, good to see you back, the lights are on, Would you like Delenn informed of your Arrival?"
"No, Thankyou.." The pilot says shortly, the Flyer making its way to its alloted bay.....
The Pilot, A minbari, wearing a heavy travelers cloack forms in the portal of the Flyer, stepping out and heading to rapid book himself in, placing diplomatic papers and such infront of clearance, including PPG liscences, he bows to the officer before drawing up his hood, his silver eyes still catching the light as he heads for his usual Blue sector Quarters.. going via the Medlabs to drop off some files on Garn influenza (Garn colds)...
He reaches the door, reaching for the button, pressing before stepping in, looking around silently for Dr Franklin..
The Minbari spoke quickly, "I know who you are. Follow me."
Of course the Narn knew who Sereen was. Sereen still had a grudge from when Chelvek had wiped out Sereen's village on his outlying Windsword world. How stupid Chelvek had been, thinking Death Walker was hidden there. All the signs pointed to that place, but she wasn't. Even the spy drones that Chelvek had dropped on the planet had seen her walking there.
Damn changling nets. He should have detected them, but he'd been lazy, and foolish. The Windswords had already proven they would use changling nets earlier that same month when that Minbari tried to kill the Vorlon, Kosh.
Well, Sereen was not a common Windsword. Perhaps he'd be maliable. Perhaps Chelvek wouldn't have to kill him.
Chelvek stood up and followed Sereen, wondering where they were going. He flicked his wrist, releasing an incantation of technology, and the spy drop snapped into place on Sereen. He had two PPGs on him and an assortment of edged and non-edged weapons.
Perhaps diplomacy was called for here. Chelvek knew he could deal with the PPGs easily enough, but the edged weapons held by the honed muscles of a Windsword would be hard to stop, even through distraction and tormentation.
How was the Narn supposed to know Serenn's bid to control the Windswords and lead them back to Delenn's wishes had been aided by the incident, How was Serenn supposed to know the Narn was supposed to be restrained?
considering his own weapons were barely more than bulges it would take a keen eye to spot most of them with the cloak on, with a roll of his shoulders the heavy cloak falls back, the strip lighting in the Medlab doing little to nothing to hide from the fact Serenn appears to have the build og a small tank, folding the cloak up it becomes stowed in a small pack sat over the back flap of his robing, the only section of robing to reveal the battle armour.. and two 'scarves' of clan colours.
a beep eminates from a wristband, causing his attention to appear diverted, one arm raised, the other arm resting on his belt line, by his hip, "Seen Franklin?" he asks, silver pupilless eyes settling on the 'Roo-volution'
Serenn not being one to know more than how to tie on a bandage and splint not realising that the patient here is a little on the.. irrationally insain type...not that trying to reign in Windswords isn't remarkably simular.
In a sector twenty day hyperspace travel away on an unknown inhabited planet, a man is standing near a large feild. He is wearing a robe and is holding a book and a wooden staff. He just stands there, waiting day after day for something.
In the same sector, the Hyperion Class Cruiser Pergatory jumps out of hyperspace and faces the planet.
"What the hell just happened here!" The captain yelled at his ship mates. "The engines went online by themselves sir. We have full control now." One officer reported. "Good, get us back into hyperspace as soon as possible." The captain ordered. "We can't sir. I tried to locate where we were, but the ship went totally off the beacon. It will take the computer days to figure out where we are at." The captain's eyes look down slowly and shakes his head. "We are in big trouble."
In the observation dome a shadow of a ship passes the windows, sending a chill down both of their spines. Suddenly a figure seemed to appear out of nowhere. It appears to be K'Taro. He nods to Seren, and he stands to his side. "I am sorry to have called you here Chelvek, but this is a very important matter..." K'Taro looks around and comes close to Chelvek and wispers, "Forgotten Memories are comming again. Stop them at all costs. I know you two are not friends. But if you to suceed, you will have to work together. You will find others along the path." Then K'Taro starts explaining the details to them....
... Glad of his silent tread Serenn headssilently into his room, hopping through the earth channels on TV while drafting a delayed babcom message for friends, looking up wide eyed as he spots a report of the Mayflower raiding a small earth settlement "Grr.. thats the second captain i've got to move from leading her.. i may as well just take the ship and hide it for myself ... idiots..." Serenn was never one to be insulting usually, afterall, his uncle is the windsword grey council representative. Looking over his shoulder the door opens, something floating into the room, a Vorlon, ~mechanical sound~ Serenn your gift is growing, but use it wisely..~mechanical sound again~sais Kosh Nimbec to him "I know.." he looks to the vorlon, his pupiless silver eyes gaining a three petaled flower iris as his mind opens to the ancient..~I will never be a planet shifter with my mind, but i can find out if someone is a shadow..~ he ponders opening his mouth to ask something of the vorlon ~Chime~ Later, you will find the answers..~chime~ the vorlon leaves, as abruptly as he left, Serenn none the wiser as to why he seems to get to react to Vorlons like they were a standard thing...he turns himself, pulling out a brown cloak for the next trip, heading out to the lifts to go to his uaul haunt.. the one he has put over 200000 credits into, it is owned by his 'under the thumb' bug.
Suddenly a Drazi runs up to Serenn, beaten up to hell, hands Serenn a crystal and starts running madly down the hallway. Shortly after some men run after him, and shots are heard a few minutes later. Serenn looks at the crystal slowly and decides to go to his transport to figure out what the crystal is all about.
On the Hyperion Cruiser Pergatory, the captain sends a shuttle down to the planet to try to gather some food. The shuttle lands and a landing party comes out of the shuttle to find an old man standing there. "I have been waiting. We will need to wait longer before." The man said. "Wait for what? Before what? The captain asked quickly.
