Akuma Minako

[rp] Akuma looked up at the clock on the wall and sighed. Blades was long overdue and everything had been prepped. She wasn't going to sit around here while for all intensive purposes probably somthing wasn't going well. Standing up she powered the ship down and walked out of the bridge. "Keep it hot." She said to one of the men standing off side. Walking down the corridor she could hear explosive shouting and accusations bursting from the briefing room. She clenched her fist wincing at the burn mark and walked inside. "Gentlemen." Her voice carrying evenly over the crowd. Not expecting to get a reaction she clears her throat as all eyes turn towards her. All male eyes, very male, not a single female in the group. Sighing inwardly she looks to Savage. "Ah...Sir, if you're done here I've got the engines hot and we're ready to be on our way." She examines the room. "Is there a problem gentlemen?" [rp] I'm feeling much better! Yea! ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

Sitting in a chair on the bridge she glanced at her time piece and shook her head. "Blades, where are you?" She leaned back and closed her eyes. "Damn I'm tired." Meanwhile Kirin, realizing he had been late for the briefing and found out he had not actually been assigned quarters finds a quiet place to sit and meditate. "Too much going on." He mutters. "Where did Akuma go off to?" [rp] Don't really have much to post right now. Sorry gents... [hack, cough, wheeze, sniffle, honk] Been sick for the past few days. [sniff, hack, hack...] I'll be okay. ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

Akuma Minako raises her hand with an upraised brow. "'Scuse me....Canadian here." She smiles then casts a flirtacious glare at Korivak. "What's so wrong about us hmmmmm?" She leans in closer.... ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

Sorry Jamont. Akuma is currently doing pre flight stuff and isn't exactly avaliable right now. You could catch up with the aimless wanderings of Kirin though. Sorry for jumping the gun there Blades. My fault entirely. I really should learn not to be a hypocrate. Love ya! ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

Because I'm not good with the technical aspect of BC (Being kinda new and all) I'm just going to say I've done all the standard stuff. [rp] Akuma Minako smiles leans back in a seat on the flight deck. She sighs contented that nothing has happened between the Galcom and Insurgent Gentlemen. She closes her eyes waiting for Blades to arrive. Apparantly he was intending to speak to her alone and she didn't want to dissipoint him by dissappearing. Twenty minutes have passed since she had gone through the standard pre flight countdown procedures. Pulling out the insurgent badge she traces the outline and sighs deeply. "It just isn't fair." She whispers. *** Kirin with deft eye and wary mouth remains silent through all of the tension. Having delt with Akuma on a regular basis he found himself almost decensitized to the prejidiaces against them. When a nervous or suspisious eye met his he smiled. When angry words were spoken he remained silent. Akuma Minako passed by him and he took her hand briefly in his own. She seemed mildly surprised and oddly uncomfortable at that touch. He stood up and filed back to his assigned temporary quarters to ponder the information he had been given. "This is quite a mission." He murmered as he entered his room and flopped down on his bed. [/rp] ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

Heh, I just hope Jean Chretchien dosen't win...He's such a Newfie. Umm.... I'm not making sense am I...Oh right you're all in the STATES! Well welcome to Canada ladies and gents, we're headed towards an insurgancy up here. Gawd. ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

[rp] Kirin shook his head. "No I don't think you have Jamont." He squared his shoulders and smiled. "Perhaps you can tell me when we're back on Orion eh?" He smiles and opens the hatch. "I suggest we go figure out what all this hush hush business is about." He turns around, stands and moves off and down the ramp. "Out of the frying pan and into the frier I believe was the expression." He made his way towards the security check. (Sorry Jamont. It's better this way.) He moves through the security check and smiles wainly at them before moving further down the hallway. [/rp] Hey Blades! Rattler! Where'd you gents get to? **grins** We need a couple of security guards posted and I'm hoping that you can do the job well! And where did everyone else go for that matter? ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

[rp] Kirin got into his shuttle and smiled as Jamont joined him. Putting his shuttle out the hangar bay and into the vast expanse of space made his mind reel. "Jamont." He began. "Jamont do you even know why you're here?" He moved the shuttle towards the SS Vulture with precise manuvers. "I..." He shut down the engines. "Jamont. Do you know why Akuma Minako is?" He waited a second before continuing not giving Jamont the chance to answer. "I'm a fool! I'm an idiot! She's 31 for **** sakes!" He shook his head. "That's too damned young to be out here!" He fired up the engines and signaled the SS Vulture. "I'm Fourty five! She's 31 ******* years old!" He moved into the hangar bay as he was given the go signal. "She's young, inexperianced, and nieve! And they're using it against her! She dosen't deserve this life! She never did! She deserves a family, friends, not this...Not war." He set the ship down and turned the engines off. Putting his head into the palms of his hands he shakes his head with controlled rage. "Let's go see what this is all about." He says softly. [/rp] ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

I'll give people a chance to respond. Oh and Blades since I posted this object I'm going to play it through so if he gets caught he gets caught. Ces la vie. Annnyway....I'll check back in a day or so. ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

Heh. Well here goes. Sorry gent's College is really tough. I've been really busy and it's bound to get worse here-on-in so be patient with me okay? Jamont sure thing! [rp] Kirin left his quarters and walked stiffly down the hallway. The small box held in his hands. I'm not getting this by security... He shakes his head. So what the hell do I do? Looking up Kirin notices a familiar figure approaching his way. "Commander Jamont!" He waves to the man motioning him over. When Jamont walks over to him he lowers his voice. "I think it'd be a good idea to get to the Vulture. Perhaps we should go together." He smiles faintly. "There is safety in numbers." He pats the mans back smiling as the box falls into Jamont's back pocket. Coward. Kirin looks around. "You're ship or mine?" Damned Coward! *** Akuma Minako left the breifing room wiping her forhead. She leaned against a wall and took her scarred hand from behind her back. So far no one had noticed her injuries. She examines the fairly severe burns and blisters and realized that there would be a likely chance of infection. Screw infection. She lowers her hand and waits for Rattler to leave the briefing room. She wanted a chance to speak to him alone. I may never get the chance to talk to him again. I may never get to hold him agian. Her throat constricted and tears threatened to spill over her eyes. Strength Bunny...Strength [/rp] If you're confused by the last quote Akuma's middle name is Usagi which means Rabbit in Japanese. ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

Sorry Blades, Rattler, schools a ***** if you know what I mean. Grrr. [rp] Kirin woke up to his alarm clock and threw it accross the room with a groan. It felt like he had been hit with a battlecruiser then run over by a mob of insurgents and then tossed around by the grammulens in a game of lacross. He rolled over, misjudged and fell promptly out of bed. Cursing and fumbling with the sheets he stood up and placed a hand on the dresser. "God, it's mornings like these that I wish I didn't have to get out of bed." "Then don't." A soft menacing female voice said from the shadows. Kirin's eyes buldged and he pulled the sheets over his almost entirely naked body. "Who's there?" The figure stepped forward. A woman clad in fine red and black garments...A woman with a knife...And a message. "Oh god." Kirin said as she grinned madly. "Security!" He pressed a button by his bed. "Security!" "No one can hear you Kirin." She smiled. "No one can hear you and no one cares." She reached out and grabbed his wrist pinning him against the bed with a superhuman strength. "What do you want?" Kirin managed to wheeze out. "You're going to tell me a lot of things. Then you're going to go to the S.S Vulture and you're going to give Rattler this." She handed him a black box. Kirin took the item and stared at it. "What...What is it?" "Let's just say that you're commander hasn't made us too happy. She's been more trouble than she's worth. If you don't give it to Rattler than I'll just conviently press this button." She gestured at a palm device. "And you and all of those aboard the Vulture will die in a tragic accident." Kirin stared at her with fear attempting to free himself from her grasp. "Damn you!" She smiled. "No thanks. Been there and done that." She kissed him then...Forcefully, painfully. "Take care of yourself Kirin." She left the room, muffled peals of laughter followed in her wake and all Kirin could do was stare at the black box and wonder how he managed to get in this mess. [/rp] Hope that works....Blades, you work on it. I'm just the Muse. ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

J...Japan?! Nnnnooo!!! I wanna go to the wonderful world of Manga and Anime! TAC! Come back!!! Come back! Take me with you dammit! **SOB** ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk [This message has been edited by Akuma Minako (edited 10-24-2000).]

Yea! Mwahahaah! [rp] Pixian Starstation The Lounge Kirin smiled. "I should get some rest..." He stood slowy and glanced back. "I'll see you around hmm?" He waved and exited, staggering into the door on his way out. S.S. Vulture Akuma's Temporary Quarters... Akuma finished her Log Recording and smiled smugly suddenly bursting in a fit of laughter. "Damn!" She wipes tears from her eyes then moves towards her door. "I don't remember when I've laughed so hard." She walked out into the hallway and suddenly froze. Her neck tingled with a feeling of dred and she bolted towards the bridge. "Somthing isn't right gentlemen." She moved towards Rattler and Blades with little hesitation. "I'm not sure what but I really don't feel safe here at the moment..." [/rp] Let's go to it! Rattler? Blades? We need to get some subplot working in here. Care to meet me in Icq sometime? ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk [This message has been edited by Akuma Minako (edited 10-19-2000).]

Excellent! [rp] Kirin smiled at the man. "Kirin." He said simply. "Where you from?" His voice seems to have slurred a bit...His eyes filled with sorrow but well controlled. He examined the man. "Galcom huh? Well, I doubt you've been through what I have in the past few hours. Damn! Women! I tell you!" He slams back the rest of his beer and orders another. "She didn't deserve what happened to her." He mutters somthing about Insurgent relations then guzzles down a bit more beer. "So how's your life going?" He manages a drunken smile, his Japanese face glowing a faint red under the tinted skin. [/rp] ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

Kirin is on Pixan if you want to meet up with him at the Lounge Jamont. If there's anyone else there Kirin is in the Lounge! Just meander your way down there! [rp] Kirin sat at the bar in the Pixan Starstation. His mind was addled but he figured that it was probably from the alchohol rather than from the problems that have occured over the past few days. He lowered his head and coughed slightly. I really need to get my thoughts together. He smiled. Ahhh screw it... He waved at a bar tender. "Another beer!" [/rp] ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

[rp] Akuma stared at Rattler before inclining her head. "I have it...Rattler." She says. His head then turns towards Blades and he proceeds to barrade Karl. Forgetting protocol, forgetting everything, even her burned hand she takes two steps forward till she is standing in front of Insurgent One. The Thirty-One year old woman suddenly collapses against Rattler and gives hims a warm hug. "You ARE family...My family." She smiles warmly up at him then turns to Blades still standing very close to Rattler. "Now Blades." She says with a biting undertone to her voice. "Explain." [/rp] Damn you Blades! I wanna be Twenty-One not Thirty-One! Why can't I? Bah! You fleet commanders! Even commanding our ages! I hate politics!!!!!!!!!! ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

Blades! You're mean! [rp] Akuma opened her eyes reluctantly to gaze into Commander Karl Savage's eyes. Everything fell apart as soon as she saw them. Her heart thudded increadably in her chest, all she wanted to do was sleep. "Akuma, weÔÇÖre going somewhere, you and I. And we have to leave now." His voice held a commanding voice yet it wavered with some sense of caution also. Tiredly she rubbed her palm accross her eyes wiping the sleep away and just wished him to be a dream... I'd better be dreaming... "Where are we going?" "I cant tell you just yet. Although I can tell you,weÔÇÖve got companion on our journey." Akuma blinked slightly groggy and really really confused. Companion? Where the hell are we going! You're so mysterious! Damn you! And then suddenly everything came back like slamming into a sun and not having time to prepare for it. Tears came to her eyes and she collapsed. She heard him attempt to console her "...Okay..." She blinked and then shook her head. "No! Everything's not okay!" Her heart gave a painful wrench of sorrow. "I betrayed you, the fleet, family..." Then his voice cut her to the bone and she stiffined. "Commander Minako. Get a grip on yourself and get your ass out of bed, right now. We're going on a mission, and I'll be damned if I'm taking a sobbing little girl with me into a life or death situation. If you don't think you're up to it, I'll leave you here right now and have your discharge papers waiting for you by the time I get back." Discharge? Oh gods! She felt like crying all over again but thought better of it. Knowing that it would do little or at all good. She straightened, wiped away the tears and spoke with an unwavering voice that she could only pull when bullied into it. "Sorry sir. I'm okay now." Blades smiled and stood up. "Good now get youreself up and dressed. I'll be waiting for you outside. And don't dally, we've got a timetable to keep to." She hurried to get dressed in uniform and found time somewhere to brush her hair and apply makeup. As she gazed into the mirror she noticed how fragile and pale her face seemed. Like you've been in a coma you silly girl! Don't dally! Remember? She nodded once, gave a bright salute to her reflection and left the med bay. But she wasn't prepared for what was next on Blade's so called schedule. *** Upon entering the Flight deck she froze. Oh god... She fought strongly with her emotions of wether to give him the biggest hug in the world, collapes in a pitiful heap of tears or run away. Instead she found she couldn't move at all. Rattler and Blades began talking...Like she wasn't even there! Hello? Excuse me? Akuma Minako on deck? She just gave an exasperated sigh and when finally she could speak "Excuse me. But would someone please tell me what the hell is going on?" You morons! Karl I'm so going to get you back for this! Much later Akuma Minako found her way to a secluded hallway and brooded. Her mind reeling with so many unanswered questions and a sudden inablility to speak with either of the two gentlemen. I'm not speaking to Karl because he would be getting a piece of my mind. I don't want to make a scene on his flight deck. I'll wait till we're alone to scream and ***** and complain... And Rattler? Oh gods, I can't! I betrayed him...This is all my fault. Self doubt, fear, the feeling of absolute failure washed over her for the tenth time and, with a quick glance around to make sure no one was watching or approaching let out a wail containing every emotion she had felt up till now. I don't want sympathy! I want answers! But those are so far away! And no one will tell me. I should have just stayed at home and layed in bed and cooked supper for my parents.... She choked off a sob. Except I have not parents...No family...I'm really alone! Her hand gripped the siding of one of the walls and clenched around a metal bar. It was hot to the touch but she didn't flinch away, instead she kept tightening. With her other hand she withdrew the Insurgent One badge and held it to her heart. Leaning forward she hit her head against the wall and watched blood slowly seep from the clenched fist. What am I going to do now. She let go of the pipe with another wail and sunk to the floor drawing her knees up to her chin and closing her eyes. For one, you can show everyone that you're not incompitant. Her concious nagged at her. Show everyone that you're not a failure. Akuma opened her eyes and blinked. Get up Akuma. Get up and show them that you're better than they thought. Show them that you're a commander. Commander Akuma Usagi Minako of the GCV Tenchi. Akuma stood. Tenchi... Akuma faltered then began her walk back to the Flight deck. For Tenchi. She entered the Flight Deck, the badge still clutched in one hand, her other placed convineantly behind her back. "Now," She said with a startling loud voice. "I want explinations." [/rp] Gah. ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

Heh, this is getting better by the second... [rp] 14:00 hrs, 15 May, 3008 Pixian Station Hangar Bay Kirin docked at Pixian station with a feeling of dred in the pit of his stomach. His heart pounded in his chest as he decended the platform and looked around him. So where is everyone? He stood rigid in the Hangar bay his eyes scanning his surroundings for a familiar face. [/rp] Hey Blades, I don't know where everyone is but I could use some guidance..Hell I don't even know if I'm supposed to be here yet... ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

Foss, You're a dead man! I wanted to post yesterday but I waited for you to do somthing with Kirin! Fine! I'm going to Pixar too! Neyh! Rattler, above post...Akuma has your badge in her hand...Don't know if there was somthing else...If there was then, meh, Kirin's withholding it for some reason... [rp] 09:25 hrs, 15th May, 3008 Shuttle Cockpit Kirin sat in the command chair with a heavy heart. Upon exiting the Centris space he felt like a thousand years had passed with no one caring who or what he was. He loved her. He loved Akuma Minako, but he knew she could never feel the same. Maybe it was because he was her second in command? Maybe it was because he was her best friend, almost like a brother...He remembered her saying that. His head snapped up as his comms flared to life. "What the hell?" He blinked as a hundred little lines of script flew by him. Then a voice broke through the speakers making him jump. 12:30 hrs, 15 May, 3008 Shuttle Cockpit Kirin's mind was reeling now. He barley knew what to think much less how to act to such a threat. His heart was pounding with fear. The voice had gone away now and for that he was thankful. Reluctantly he began moving again and in a few hours would be arriving to Pixar...But now, he really didn't want to be there. Especially since his life was on the line... [/rp] Hey Blades, need to talk to ya about a 'twist' to the story. Mwahahaha. Talk to you about Three - Fourish my time. If we can't work anything out I'll edit this post. ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk [This message has been edited by Akuma Minako (edited 10-11-2000).]

**BIG HUGE HUG!** Happy birthday! Send me a message via E-mail! Love to get to know a friend of Rattlers! ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

I am going to automatically assume that Kirin is in med bay with Akuma at this time...Heheheheh... [rp] 12:15 hrs, 15th May, 3008 Orion Starstation In Orbit Of Centris Medical Bay Kirin with downcast eyes and a pained heart watched the life instruments thrum steadly as Akuma's hand, now curled around the badge of Insurgent One lay motionless in her bed. Letters of "Get Well Soon" and gifts like tiny stuffed teddy bears sat scattered on the floor and on tables. All of which were from her friends and from her crew. From beside the bed his communicator flared to life and he reluctantly reached out and picked it up. TO: Kirin Ororan FROM : FC SAVAGE SUBJECT : SPECIAL OPS CONTENT : Commander, The following is FYEO. This message will autodelete itself in 60 seconds and will leave no records in your database. We need to meet to discuss a matter of the utmost urgency. You are to make every effort to travel to the Pixan Starstation and meet with myself, and nother representative on board the SS Vulture at 23:30 hrs, 18th May 3008. Come alone and unescorted. USE alternative methods of transportation to reach your destination, and tell no one of your movements, or whereabouts. All will be revealed shortly. End Communication. Kirin stared blankly at the screen as it dissappeared from his databanks and then paused. "Commander?" He said his voice sounding strangly loud in the quiet Medbay. He shook his head. "But..." He paused. "Akuma." he said standing slowly and taking her free hand. "Akuma, I have to go. I'll be back." He brought his other hand up to caress her face. "I...I hope you'll be back to your old self by the time I get back." He closed his eyes, clenching his fists. "I love you." Then with grim determination turned to leave for Pixan Starstation. [/rp] Ohh? What's this? Don't worry Blades...I have plans for Kirin, you'll still get your chance for Akuma's hand! Mwahahahaaha. ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

Heh I'd be a little concerned if my boss called me darling too. His wife works in the same building. That wouldn't be pretty. As for your girl troubles if you think that this ex of yours is long term...If you and everyone thinks that it's it's going to last. Talk to the girlfriend you currently have and give it to her straight (But don't be blunt...That hurts.) We can be very understanding creatures. As for the story...I have one thing to say...YEA! [rp] In her sleep Akuma mutters an apologie. "Sorry sir...Didn't mean to....Mrph..." then falls back to her coma like state. [/rp] ------------------ Commander Akuma Minako GCV - Tenchi, Orion Starstation (CENTRIS) Deterrence Battle Group www.orion-hq.fsnet.co.uk

Having drowned in this situation to make it worse Akuma Minako get's shot in the arm with the BMP-9 (Damn Goldfish). Floats to the surface as a lifeless corpse...
