Independence Saga: Saga News Posts: ~...The first true cooperative Human-Myrtan breakthrough occured earlier this week. Using Caiarn warp blocks combined with Myrtan magic and Human technology, the first interstellar scout has been created. Due to recent rebel activity from the missing necklaces, the scout will not be launched until the activity dies down, and most information about the scout will be kept classified. At a dubbing ceremony earlier today, the scientists and shamans named the scout 'Bbs-Jtnzp', or 'Cat-Human', in honor of the blooming Human-Myrtan relationship. In a related story....~ .......... ~...After a long, long wait, the human government has released more information on the interstellar scout 'Bbs-Jtnzp'. It seems that Myrtan shamans, by concentrating their power through the warp blocks, will teleport the scout into space, with the crew being teleported up afterwards, along with a few shamans, who will teleport the scout back down to Terra Nueva. The government needs pilots for the scout, however. Two pilots are needed to pilot it. As quoted from the official government report..."These pilots will undergo strenuous training, but will learn skills necessary for piloting this, and future, voidships." In another story, a previously-unhearded of terrorist group known as the People's Voice, has made a move to gain independence of a small region from the human government. A violent protest was made in the city of Lorr, the heart of the Equin revolution, and, perhaps more importantly, the location of the birthplace of human-Myrtan relations. The protest quickly turned into a full-fledged riot, as the city's new riot squad, equipped with state-of-the-art riot control gear, moved in to break up the protest. 6 men from the riot squad were killed, and the remaining 14 are missing, presumably being held by the People's Voice. In a live broadcast from the People's Voice, the terrorists stated that if the Equin region was not given independence, they would have to take more drastic measures. Based on other signals coming out of Lorr, it appears that the People's Voice has taken control of the majority of Lorr in a well-coordinated coup. Reports from the military quadrant of Lorr give indications that the People's Voice has very advanced technology and incredible tactics, and that the soldiers stationed in Lorr are fighting a losing battle against them. It is probable that the government will send in elite troops to retake the city, but it is uncertain if even they would make a significant impact against the People's Voice. .......... Brahms and Villain lounge around the makeshift 'space camp', which consists of two tents (one for the shamans, and one for everyone else), a water tank, the Bbs-Jtznp, and little else. Located in the desert near the Myrtan village of Tjkmzhd, the human goverment has stated that it hopes to avoid action from the People's Voice. The desert sun is quickly sinking behind the horizon. The launch time is approaching, and a loudspeaker can even be heard projecting a countdown. "T minus 1000...T minus 990...T minus 980...T minus 970..." The two human pilots stand, and head for the Bbs-Jtznp, climbing through the hatch to get to the cockpit, where they are greeted by three shamans. A few moments later, a dozen shamans emerge from their tent and cluster around the starship, placing their paws on the warp blocks that are located on the exterior. Minutes pass, but finally blue energy begins to gather around the warp blocks. The countdown reaches 10, and the blue light intensifies, blinding all who are watching for the final ten seconds. When the blue light subsides, the Bbs-Jtznp has vanished, and two shamans lie on the ground, unconcious. There are cheers from all around, and all retire to their tents, after helping the dazed shamans to their feet. A few minutes later, another blue flash occurs, then darkness resettles over Terra Nueva. .......... Log 1: Activity Onboard [Bbs-Jtznp]
