((For those of you who didn't read the discussion thread, this is for Kait, Ze and I ONLY. Ze, Kait, don't post in this until I've finished the intro, seeing that I'm really tired and the insence I'm burning seems to have fishbowled in my room and I can barely keep my eye's open, you'll know when its finished...trust me...I'm doing a bit of backstory in the intro too.))
*Black boots pounded on the metal floor of the ESC Desperado, as her captain paced back and forth upon the bridge. His normally tidy and kept blonde hair, now unruly from stress, his face fatigued and darkened severely. His drab grey and blue uniform, ornamented with many ribbons and awards, was a bit unruly but still in order. His captain's insignia on each arm, and his peircing blue eye's now dull from long nights awake on the bridge.
Psychosis had set itself in a long time ago, as well as hyperspace sickness.* "You lost it..." *He said to his co-captain, a young woman with striking beauty and a sharp wit. Though her face held the signs of age, and the scars of battle, it still held a dignified beauty to it. Her uniform was not as ornamented as the captains, and she was nothing but a Leutinent Captian, several ranks below her superior.* "Yes Captain Gregor...we were ambushed in beta-"
"I do not want the obvious!" *The captain cut her off abruptly, slamming his fist on the control board.* "We were caught off guard, and the science vessel holding the sisters was lost in the fight! You know how much trouble we're going to be in if word reaches the Overlord!?"
*The woman's gaze shifted to the floor for a moment.* "I shall deal with him mys-"
"No Minerva...not this time..." *The captain said, once again cutting her off.* "No...this time word of our failure will NOT reach him...this time we'll send out our OWN probes...our OWN spooks...I have a feeling this time we'll turn things around...you!" *He said sternly, pointing to a navigation's officer.* "Calculate any possible planet they could have landed on, I know for a fact that ship wasn't captured! We will send terror squads down to each one and find them if its the last thing our fleet does..."
"Aye aye sir!" *The young woman said, raising her fist to her right breast in salute. She quickly got to work.* "Good...then soon..."

Several Hours Earlier, the Terra System.
*Ships from the Techno-Union rorared in at top speed's, they're angular surface's reflecting the glow from nearby Terra 31. The roboting pilots in the ships each pressed several button's as they flew in on the large Science Vessel that was at the leading point of the Legion armada. *
"Execute order 22." *The presumed leader of the robotic strike force said, as the eleven ships which trailed behind it split into a massive orb. The orb fired rockets, and bomb's and other assorted weapon's straight at the Civilian Science Vessel, causing all nearby Legion ships to go to full alert status...to bad they were already too late. The orb collided with the vessel, a suicide attack that would lead into its undoubtly demise.*
*Aboard the ESC Maggelen All alrms were raised as the women of the vessel ran about trying to lock in system scripts. Nine women in all were its crew, in charge of transporting the sisters to Pollis Massa. One girl in particular, a 14 year old by the looks of it, looked up in horror as she saw the orb come straight for her beloved ship on the mid section's vidscreens.*
"Ma'am! 30 seconds until impact!" *She squeaked to her superior, an equllay young girl with cherry-colored hair who quickly rushed over to peer at the doom that awaited them all.*
"No..." *Was all this girl could see as tear's swelled up in her eye's. Looking down at the 14 year old- who was looking up hopefully at her -she quickly gave the poor girl a hug. Releasing her companion she turned to the other 7 girls.* "Prepare cold protocol 8...we're...we're going to die...we need to save the sisters..." *Was all she could say to the crestfallen crew, as they diligently went about they're duties. The 'captain, sniffing back a tear, forced her friend off the bridge and closed the blast doors.*
"No!" *The younger girl said, slamming her fists against the door in vain, tears streaming from her eye's.* "You can't die mother! You just can't!" *She screamed, hearing the steel twist and feeling the ship lurch and send her sprawling to the ground. The ship's bridge and most of the upper sections were damaged or gone, the bridge being completely decimated by the force of the blow.*
*As the younger girl wept for her lost companion the other's moved about quickly, finnaly releasing the locks on the sister's controled enviroment Capsules, and ejecting them into space.*
*Giving one final salute, the girl's on the ship smiled at eachother as, one by one, they slowly froze to death.*

Several Day's Later, Terra 32
*Llilly sat up on her bed, stretching her arm's and looking around. The sun was up, which one she couldn't remember, and shining brightly through her tinted window's. Her room was painted a light lillac color, with small flowers and such on the border. Her bed was very soft and plush, like the other girls beds, but with similar colored sheets and pillow's.*
"Morning!" *She shouted as she jumped off the bed, pulled her clothes out of the closet and running downstairs to the bathroom, desperate to get in first.*
