Kensai grabbed a bowl and slit her palm open. Balc blood dropped into the bowl. She then scooped up Lillith own blood and placed it in the bowl. As the blood melded together. She stripped Lilliths clothes off. Then used her finger to trace symbols on Lilliths skin with the blood. Kensai's acidic blood burned into Lilliths flesh. Smoke rose... Lillith whimpered but did not wake...

The Kensai drawing is coming along well. Used the same stance for all my characters. Wings are very hard to draw...

With the markings complete. Still smoking Kensia placed Lilliths left hand on the orb. She placed her hand over Lilliths heart. Lillith somehow seemed to now what was to happen. Tears rimmed her closed eyelids...

-They- have been following Kensai and Lillith around for some time now and know the whole story. After informing Pat to send a cruiser for backup, the Swords (yes, those Swords FS) silently open fire on Kensai, but are careful to avoid Lillith.

As the bullets fly towards Kensai. Her wings fold out. The bullets ricothe(sp) back at the swords. Kensai turned around while still keeping her hand on Lilltihs chest. "Fools, you think you can kill," Kensai sends out a stream of black energy. One of the swords begins to decay before their eyes...

The markings begin to glow a purpilish/black. The orb seemed to have been sucked into Lilliths body. Her body began to convulse in pain... Kensai's eyes became completely black... Her wings had black smoke curling around them. The ritual done she leaves Lillith on the pedastal her flesh still smoking. A trickle of black smoke ran down the corner of Lilliths mouth... As Kensai walked by the statues that lined the walls. Her fingers grazed each one. The stone fell apart around them and there stood in its place a black figure it had no eyes or mouth. But they could see perfectly. This was to be her army...

The remaining Swords turn on their cloaking devices and seem to fade into the shadows. They cancel the cruiser...and call for a fleet.

2 other things.

1. Is Lillith dead?
2. Thank you to FS for creating a proper war.

2. No problem

Kensai as the statues tunred to life. She pulled on a real statues arm. The stone wall dissapeared... A great metal door opened and she and her army walked into her base. As they walked trhough the hallway each wall was fusied with the bones of the slave workers who had spent years making this place. As they reached the main docking area. Kensai looked up at the 2 huge capital ships and the many other ships that floated above her. She set her army to prep for war...

Got it FS, thank you.

As the traitor Kensai (is that the word i'm searching for?) leaves the Swords reappear around Lillith. Was she alive? Their medic, who I might add has not only military basic medic training but also the most avanced training Pat's universities have to offer, moves carefully towards Lillith. He notices a bit of blood trickling from a wound and checks it. While not exactly warm as it should be, its definently not cold. He checks her pulse. Faint heart beats.
She was alive, but not in good health. They carry her out, after suiting her up in a stealth suit for obvious reasons. They evac to Pat's flagship in orbit.

When Lillith was being used by Kensai. She saw into her memories. She saw her giving a alien, a gun the same gun that her father used to kill her mother. She saw her sitting on thw swing, looking at her through the window as she cradled her mothers head in her arms. Kensai had been planning this for years and Lillith had just been a means to get here....

Kensai got into her custom made armour. She saw around her, her minions outfitting themselves with custom armour and weaponry. They crawled over conduits and ladders to reach the ships. One ship diengaged from the control tower. As shower of dust settled to the bottom as the ship took off. The roof opened up as the first ship of the fleet left...

Shades fleet orbited the frozen planet, fighters skimming the upper atmosphere, capitol ships keeping more to the moon. Suddenly, a signal appeared on the radar screen. It was the first ship. (All I know is that they are cruisers, and that you have two of them). Shade hailed the cruiser, hoping, against his mind, that this was a friendly ship.

The men onboard send a wave of mental images towards Shade. They have no mouths so they communicate telepathically. They send images of destroyed cities and worlds and of countless dead...

Shade also asks Lt Pat what happened down there.


Meanwhile...

The squad of marines are still debating over whether to go into the crashed ship, or to stay outside it. They finally agree to leave a message for the pilot of the ship. So they leave a data pad with a message for Xeroh, with a complementary 'Welcome to Random Industrial Planet 6' muffin pile. The Marines then go into the city to find a pub.

Pat responds to Shade,"The details are unclear, but Kensai has betrayed us and performed some sort of ritual by mixing her and Lillith's blood. She has some sort of "I want power" notion in her head. Lillith is currently being operated on at my flagship. She may not live."

The cruisers a sleek black ships. With no-systems and independent firing mechanisims with auto-cannons, pulse cannons and laser defences. The capital ship each have 2 "weapons" on board. Hmm... I may draw a pic of the ships...

The first capital ship leaves the base surrounded by frigates and smaller cruisers. Kensai sits on the ground of her room in deep mediatation she is in contact with each one of the captains. As the ship leaves orbit it powers up its "weapon" for space combat...

Don't worry Shade...my fleet is in the same system as you.

P.S. FS don't take this as an insult...but by making this fleet aren't you breaking the No Instant Army rule?
