John spoke up. "Well, we could head East to Thief's Landing. They take all sorts there, even if those sorts ain't exactly right in the head."

"Hm.... John, do you know anyone over in this Thief's Landing?" (Jedi Master) Huey asked.
Meanwhile
"Hey boss, I'm bored. Nobody's come through here in days." Complained a bandit.
"Hey, look over there!" Shouted another.
The bandits stood up and looked out over towards the crashsite, seeing our heroes and the newly repaired ship.
"Somethin' like dat could be worth a bit of money... Ready the hogs!" Commanded the bandit.
In the next two minutes a horde of bandits were making their way towards the group, on hogs... Literally

"Yeah, guy named Irish," John said. "Hang on, you hear snorting?" He turned to the Southwest and saw bandits on the horizon. "Son of a gun! Everyone, ready your weapons!"
He drew his Buffalo Rifle and waited for them to come into range.

"A space, ship? Remarkable. We have only dreamed of such things." He moved to examine the craft in an attempt to ascertain how it worked and after sometime he deemed that it could not fly.
When Hensworth heard the call to arms he drew his pistol. It looked like something that walked out of the 18th or 19th century, much like the rest of him, but... different. It was like an antique pistol with added mechanical parts. He also produced what looked like a small stick, about 5 inches long or so.
Then he paused. "Why are we arming ourselves against...that?"

"They still got guns," John said to Hensworth. "They may be on hogs, but they're armed and dangerous." He leveled his pistol at the group. "You all got a deathwish?" he called to them.
Yoko hefted up her rifle and waited for the right time to fire.

"Okay. I know we're all from different times, and most don't no what a safety catch is, but bear with me." Harper said as he grabbed an M16 from the pile of guns he had made. He nodded to the others, "ignore me if you want but this is how we do things in the British Armed forces.
Load!* Make Ready!^ Yeah, ah, well, that means safety off and be able to fire by simply pulling the trigger..."
"1 o'clock, 200, prepare to fire, FI...WAIT; WAIT!
I almost forgot, 200 (meters) out I buried some stun grenades, we should be able to get away without bloodshed. I mean, they're not exactly used to flashbangs are they?"
The Serjeant picked a small detonator off his belt, "Who wants the honours?"
He chucked it to...

*clunk, click (magazine in, sights set to 200)
^(faint)click, Chuck-CHIK (Safety off, cocking handle [and by addition the bolt] pulled back and then released)

I'm going to my relatives till Sunday afternoon (GMT) so I am going to ask SteakHeart and/or world_of_dragons if they could control my char so I am not left behind. It only needs to be like 'Harper follows the group' or 'The colour followed suit'. This is just so I am able to come back and carry on playing. If you do then could you please do this then click on the box below to see what I've got on me as a char.
Thanks in advance if you do this, and I would prefer it if others didn't control me, I've chosen you two as you seem to be the two who post most faithfully on this thread and the two who are least likely to ruin my char.
Gas mask, water canteen, MP5, Cheytac M200 (Intervention), ammo, grenades and flashbangs, knife, two radios (that can talk to each other), digital camera, flack vest and a boonie hat.
(Jedi Master) Huey caught the grenade, pulled the pin and then tossed it into the spot where he figured the bandits would run over. Once they did, the grenade exploded in the middle of the group
"Quick, everyone get in!" He told the group, Harper being the first inside.
"Quick, everyone get in!" He told the group, Harper being the first inside.
Once everyone was inside, (Jedi Master) Huey immediately set course for the nearest Republican planet, one of the outer-rim planets he last saw before activating the hyperspace warp. However, hyperspace as it seemed didn't allow one to travel vast distances in the blink of an hour and in fact a matter like this would take a several hours or a day at the very latest, giving the 'crew' some time to get acquainted with one another.
With the ship on auto-pilot, (Jedi Master) Huey stood up and went to inspect the patched up area where the gun turret once was and then went off the meditate. He contemplated whether or not he should tell any of these people of his mission and his new plan-after all he could trust them, but would they be able to comprehend what he'd have to tell them?

John threw himself onto a chair, wondering what he got himself into. He slung his Sharps rifle and gave an exhausted sigh. He pulled a cigarrette from his pocket and lit it with a match. He turned to Hensworth. "Want one?" he asked, holding out the pack of smokes.
Yoko sat a few seats away and reloaded her rifle from the magazines clipped to the stock.

"No thank you, I have my own." Hensworth produces a small box containing, among other things, tobacco and begins to roll himself a cigarette. When he is satisfied he lights it with a match, producing a light smoke with a slight raspberry scent.
I'm getting the feeling I'm the only one really controlling the story here, anybody else wanna contribute?
Yoko stood up and walked over to the wrecked turret. She got an idea. "Hey, got any other spare or wrecked parts lying around?" she asked. "I think thse could be more useful for building that Ganmen, seeing as they're more advances."
"Damn, what was it, a week ago? The last time he had seen someone he could think of as a friend. Then the training, the transport, the infiltration. Then this..." Harper thought, before muttering aloud, "Who the bloody hell are these people?"
Deciding to set one question aside for another, Colour Serjeant Harper wandered over too the self proclaimed 'Jedi', whatever the hell a 'Jedi' was. "So, where we heading? And more intresting; for me, what kind of aircraft is this?"

You wouldn't mind also saying what type it is from the star wars universe as well, I would like to have a look on the wiki or in the encyclopedia I've got downstairs; being a SW nerd. Thanks for getting me on the ship as well.
Well, I'm working with a combination of the KOTOR series and what I know from the original movies and the darksaber bit being from that clone wars cartoon, though I'll admit I only added [/i]that[/i] bit so Huey could acquire the darksaber for his mission, though I don't think I went into detail about how he got it
"We're headed towards an intergalactic territory known as the 'Republic' which is divided into two sections, the outer and inner rims. We're headed towards one of the outer rim planets in order to get our bearings there. And see if I can find a place to hide something of great value as well."
Like I said I'm drawing knowledge mainly from the KOTOR series. if I get anything wrong, please correct me
"Ah, a Republic. Crap? Indicisive? So, is Earth a part of this 'Galactic' republic then?"
Harper still had no idea where they were going. They might as well have been talking in another language; intergalactic, Ganmen! Next he was expecting John (Marston) to start talking about undead plagues!
"Whats this 'item of great value' then? Your ship? Can't imagine a lot of people can travel through the stars."

"Follow me." (Jedi Master) Huey then lead Harper into the deck and pulled out what looked like a kind of suitcase. "Stand back."
The first thing (Jedi Master) Huey did was close his eyes and channel the force around his body as a kind of barrier, the others could only see it as the air around him having become distorted as if there was a gas leak underneath him. He opened the case and a rush of air immediately pushed out from the case and rushed over the others in the room.
He then retrieved what looked like the one-handed hilt of some sort of futuristic sword.
"This is called the 'Darksaber' an old relic I was sent to recover up in my time from a group of mercenaries known as the 'Deathwatch'. However, I can't take this back to my order just yet. The crystals used to make the blade-one of pure energy-had be corrupted with a dark power. I was originally on a mission to purify this-or at last resort-destroy it. Since my use of the warpdrive had brought Yoko and I back in time, I figured that perhaps we had gone to a time before the darksaber had been corrupted."
"However this has also created a time paradox and duplicated the weapon. So what I'm first going to do is hide this one somewhere and then go and find the other in this time. Any questions?"

"Well, since you're from a republic I guess we can choose whether we're in or not. I'm in.
Also; since you've come straight with me, I'll come straight with you. I wasn't just from the SAS. I was from a group of special forces operatives in most major countries, France, Russia, America, China. Hell, even North Korea. We were there to watch out for any unnatural disturbances and cleanse the area or any 'unpleasentries'. I had heard that one member of the SAS team on this mission was involved with a project, of what type? I don't know. All I know is the Chinook had 42 on it when it crashed, after I had CAS-AMM'ed the bodies There were 40. I don't know where he is, he could be on the ship right now, but he's up to no good and I'm meant to stop him.
Since we're not in my time I won't have to die ignobly trying to kill you, I imagine you could dispense of me easily. But we will have to stop him together or he'll stop us, for ever."
Harper turned to look at the others.
"I would appreciate it if you didn't inform the others until I know that I can trust them with the details of my mission."

If anyone wants to over hear and confront me l8r thats fine, adds to the story.
If everyone was being addressed by Huey then ignore that in italics and OOT1
Hensworth took a few moments to consider the situation. It made his head spin, it all seemed so impossible. When he heard Yoko he went to talk with her, if only to take his mind off what was happening and try to help. "Hmmm, even if you are right I wouldn't like to cannibalize his ship. Plus, this technology is outside my expertise."
