RP on Commander Andergum sat in his office, gazing at the pinpoints of starlight slowly streaming past his portal. His thoughts were filled with those of his long departed father and of what might have been From the distance, he heard the rumblings of repairmen feverishly installing a new shield system. "good" he though to himself. Reports of numerous bounties being placed on his head, had him a bit concerned and the recent attempt on his life by Galcom operatives had him concerned as well "Why would Galcom sent two assassins to kill me" he thought surely the information he had uncovered from the Starsearch's data core was damaging but assassins? "there must be something more" he muttered to himself. Just then, a message from his reasearch officer interrupted his thoughts Research Officer Lewis - "Commander I've been able to restore a bit more of the information from the data core you'd better get down here I think you'll want to see this." Commander Andergum- "on my way" His mind raced as he rode the turbo lift to his ship's lab "what could it be?" he wondered He arrived at the lab and was greeted with the usual salute Commander Andergum- "At ease Lewis what have you found?" Research Officer Lewis - "Well sir, I've been able to reconstruct part of the core which contained some of the Starsearch's navigation and communication data" Commander Andergum. - "Excellent and?" Research Officer Lewis - "well here's the interesting part.it appears that the Starsearch and the Recovery entered Gammulan space at nearly the same point as the last known location of the Stargazer they followed what they believed was the last known flight path of the Stargazer for several days then the Starseeker gave orders for the Recovery to continue the search on its current course while they split off and appeared to follow this Valkyrie freighter " Commander Andergum- "Hmmm that's odd" Research Officer Lewis - " yes it is and there's more" Commander Andergum- "more?" Research Officer Lewis - "yesThe Starsearch followed the freighter for several days passing through several jump points and what's really odd is that they kept their cloaking system active the entire time!!!" They only uncloaked because they had exhausted their supply of Iridium that's when the confrontation took place... and with it the eventual destruction of the Starsearch." Commander Andergum- "Hmm why would they follow that freighter for so long and cloaked as well" Research Officer Lewis - "well, that's what we are trying to find out some of the data is missing on where they went exactly but it is pretty clear from the scans of the freighter, that it was carrying some of the purest ores I've ever seenand tons of em!!" Commander Andergum- "WOW!" Research Officer Lewis - "That's nothing the system scans from the freighter indicate that the freighter was empty when they started following her and full at the end which means" Commander Andergum- "which means that the ores came from somewhere on that flight path!!" Research Officer Lewis - "It sure looks like it The only problem is that these records have been altered someone wiped out the middle section intentionally" Commander Andergum- "Hmmm.. I'm not surprised by that were there any communications with Galcom during that part of the mission?" Research Officer Lewis - "doesn't appear so they did fire off a probe just before the final jump point there could have been a message on it, but we have no way of telling what the message wasassuming there was one" Commander Andergum- "Well, keep working on it and I want the highest security possible on that data core don't let any unauthorized personnel near it!" Research Officer Lewis - "aye aye sir" Commander Andergum walked back to the turbo lift and started the short ride back to the bridge suddenly the entire ship lurched and he heard the loud thud of the impact of a missile on the ships hull. Commander Andergum- "Engineering , status report!" Engineering Officer Concepcion - "Sir, we've taken a direct his to our aft section  it doesn't look bad but if we take another." Commander Andergum- "are the shields ready?" Engineering Officer Concepcion - "uh no not yet" Commander Andergum- "Damn! .. red alert red alert red alerttactical lay in a course and get us the hell out of here" Tactical Officer Kaminsky- " To where Commander?" Commander Andergum - " anywhere.. just get us out of here engage the hyper drive as soon as its charged!" Tactical Officer Kaminsky- " aye sir, laying in a course" As the turbo lift neared the bridge Commander Andergum could hear the beepbeepbeep of the incoming missile alert.the beeps were increasing in volume and speedbeep beep beep beep beep. the turbo lift doors opened to reveal the bridge and the full screen viewer which was now zoomed to full magnification, and displaying two Galcom cruisers closing fast Commander Andergum - Activate EMD jammer. activate weapons launch crab mines. WHAAAMMM!!! Another missile had hit this time the explosion ripped through the hull the deafening sound echoed throughout the ship The huge hyperdrive engines were now straining in their mountswhining with power then a flash The stars on the bridge viewscreen turned to streaks, and the Gummy 1 dissappeared into a point of light they had made it.

RP definately on... Well it seems that the true reason for my defection must now be told... I do not wish to bring dishonor to Rattler or to the Insurgency whom have offered me a home in my time of need... Rather, the story I am about to tell, will bring to light the true nature of Galcom. As you well know, a research vessel, the GCV Stargazer, was the first to enter Gammulan territory back in 2998. This was to be a peaceful information gathering mission, nothing more. Soon afterward, all contact with her was lost and the GCV Recovery and the GCV Starsearch were sent to look for her. They too were never heard from again... until now that is. A year ago while on patrol near the Gammulan / Valkerie border I picked up what appeared to be a faint, intermittent distress signal coming from a small uncharted moon. After a few days of searching we found the source of the signal. It was coming from an escape pod from the GCV Starsearch!! On board the escape pod were the remains of two crewman... one officer and one scientist. Their bodies were burned and decomposed beyond recognition, but what they had with them told the story. They had taken the Starsearch computer's main databank with them and although it was badly damaged, my reasearch engineer was able to extract some information from it. This information has changed my view of Galcom for the rest of my life, you see, my father served aboard the Starsearch. My father was one of the finest fighter pilots assigned to the Starsearch, with dozens of confirmed kills to his credit. He knew the dangers of his job and accepted them, willingly. In fact he knew the danger of this mission before he volunteered for it. He knew he might never see his family again when he headed off for this, his final mission. What he didn't know was the how the greed of a starship commander would seal his fate. The information extracted from the Starsearch data banks detail the events right up until their confrontation with the Gamullans. Apon, entering Galcom space... they came apon a Valkyrie cargo vessel. The Starseach commander hailed them and began asking questions about the Stargazer. It was at this point that the commander received the results of the scans they had performed on the cargo ship. The cargo vessel was carrying a rather large load of precious gems and ores, enough for a Starship comander to retire on. He immediately attacked the freighter, accusing them of having something to do with the disapperance of the Stargazer. He destroyed the freighter and stole the cargo for himself. Shortly afterward, a fleet of some twenty or more Gammulan warships appeared from nowhere. They had probably heard the distress calls from the freighter and had come to rescue her. They immediately attacked the Starsearch, and destroyed her on the spot. The GCV Recovery fell soon after... I doubt my father's fighter even cleared its fighter bay. All this time I had been told that he died a heroes death... that he gave his life to protect the human race... Well it was all a lie! I joined the Galcom Academy, with the hope of following in my fathers footsteps. I hoped for a chance to avenge his death and once again bring honor to the family's name, to destroy the Gammulans and their allies... I believed it all. All the propaganda... all the hatred... all the lies... but I know the truth now... and I will not rest until I finally do avenge my father. Except now my fight is with Galcom and they will pay dearly... I circulated the story about the cargo inspection to protect others from the lies. I thought there was no need to sully the memories of others who might have had family who served aboard the starsearch. The dead inspectors??? In truth they were galcom operatives, probably sent to collect the Starsearch's data core. I'm sure that Galcom would like hide this dirty little secret of theirs. That will no longer be possible... ------------------ Cmdr. Andergum ICV Gummy 1 Spectre, Chief Security Officer Official tester of BC3K the series... Long live the Insurgency!

My smuggling talents aren't all that I bring to the Insurgency. After several years of missions in almost every corner of the galaxy, I've made many "friends". These "friends" of mine, deal in more than just the finest ales in the galaxy. They also have access to information and the best black market weaponry available, weaponry that you will need to fight off the Galcom fleet. Rattler has known of my many dis-aggrements with Galcom in the past and has offered me a place in the insurgency on several occasions. I've taken him up this time because we now have a common enemy. I can't go back to Galcom now after what I've done. I'm probably their most wanted man right now attacking a galcom vessel, killing galcom personel, theft of a galcom battlecruiser, espionage... no, I can't go back now besides, you need me as much as I need you. I have passed information to Rattler, that Galcom will soon be intensifying their efforts against the Insurgency. You are a bigger thorn in their side than you know. They can't afford to fight the Gammulans and have their ships raided and destroyed by you as well There will come a time when they will come for us and the more of us there are the better chance we have to defeat them. The online wars are coming, and we will be ready for them... ------------------ Official BC3K Tester and Commander of the ICV Gummy 1 ICQ # 215323 [This message has been edited by Andergum (edited 08-29-99).] [This message has been edited by Andergum (edited 08-29-99).]

Yeah... but you drink a gallon of almost any hooch and it will do that!! Especially that Empirian stuff... I hear that the bottles are specially made, 'cause it eats through normal glass. Gum ICV Gummy 1

Effective immediately... due to a recent disagreement with a Galcom Cargo Inspection unit during a random inspection near Titan... I will be joing the ranks of the Insurgency. I can understand their displeasure with my transporting of Illegal empirian ale (again)... and I can even take the associated reprimand, but to confiscate my own personal stash and then be seen consuming it rather than turning it in!!! Well, that was the final straw. I doubt that Galcom will forgive my actions... as that crew will not be reporting back to base again. What remains of their shuttle, can be picked up drifting near the jump point at Jupiter. So beware all you Galcommies! The ranks of the insurgency are growing!! Party at the den Rattler!!! the ale is on me! Cmdr. Andergum ICV Gummy 1
