Chapter 2 - Briefing
When Krijy returned home he was rewarded the Platinum armour(a better suit than the normal iron suit), for being such a good stealth Skedar. The Skedar King had heard of his courage and wanted to congratulate him personally. Krijy was taken to the holy palace to meet the King. He entered the room and the King had his back to him.
"Welcome Krijy. At last we meet. I read your report of the mission and found it deeply impressive. Your stealth and wit are good and you were rewarded the platinum armour, an honour any Skedar would die for."
The King turned around and faced Krijy.
"The reason I brought you here is to thank you and offer you a job. Its a dangerous job one which will be on an alien planet. Three days ago the star ship Dreadar found a strange probe drifting through space. It was something we've never seen before and it contained a very important message. When my scientists were finished translating the message they were astounded. It was a distress probe sent by a fallen ship, that existed millions of years ago. On the probe we found the maps of the ship. On it was a weapon so great, that its capable of destroying entire planets. Unfortunately, the files containing how it worked had been destroyed. From what the scientists worked out, that ship is still there today, somewhere on the planet which it crashed on. What I want you to do is to lead a team onto the planet and find out where the ship is. Do you wish to lead this mission?"
"It would be my pleasure to help get the weapon you desire, but surely it can't be that easy?"
"The task I ask of you is far from easy. The planet the ship is on is inhabited by aliens who are quite intelligent. An army squadron of the Skedar fleet could easily exterminate these aliens, but the planet lies in maian space. That is your second big problem. Its protected and lies in the middle of the maian empire. Once we find out where the ship is we can send the fleet into the empire and fish out the ship. Then we will destroy the empire from the inside out and exterminate the maian's once and for all."
The King laughed evilly and continued, "I need you and your team to sneak into the maian empire, and find out where the ship lies. My scientists have studied the aliens that inhabit the planet and have created a device that turns you into an image of one of them. Its undetectable and has a persuasive voice. You need not learn their language, it comes with the suit!"
"I've understood everything you've said your highness. But what is the team you are talking about?"
"I was just coming to that, Captain Krijy." The door to the chamber opened and five Skedar marched in. "Meet you team Captain Krijy." The Skedar bowed to Krijy and the King and said they're vows to agreement. "Allow me to introduce them." said the King. "First I'd like to present to you Bill. He's the best shuttle driver in the Kingdom and can manoeuvre a shuttle in almost any terrain." Bill bowed to Krijy and showed him his award for being the best driver in the fleet. "Next meet Death. He's the weapons expert. He knows every gun available and is an expert at using the Slayer". Death also bowed and showed him the newest gun in development, the Mauler. "Third in line comes Sultry, the torture and surgeon that specifies on aliens. She's won many awards for torturing maian leaders into giving her the information she required". Sultry took out a shrunken maian head and proudly told them who's head it was. "Now meet Budge, one of the best soldiers in the fleet. Renowned for his courage and strength, he is the only one in the world who can use a reaper with extreme accuracy, although he prefers the secondary function!" Budge took out a reaper and shot an insect through a window, that was on the other side of the room. "Last but not least meet Syric. He's the best spy we have and knows how to break codes faster than anybody else. He is also an expert in disguise. Please demonstrate Syric" Syric turned into an alien. "This is what the aliens look like, and this is what you will look like. The aliens call themselves humans, so you can say this is a human." said the King. "Go to the hanger, and you will be taken to the star ship Dreadar which is waiting for you. You'll get further information there. I codename your team "Mr.Blonde". Good luck, Captain Krijy." The team marched out of the chamber in the direction of the hanger.
