Chapter 2: Reconnaissance
Narration:
In the middle of space, nearby the planet known as Saturn a disturbance was happening. A ship was in its orbit, and it was searching. The captain of the ship was known as Bhu'ja Bpi-de, or Spirit End. He was the eldest of the three on the ship, the most experienced. To prove his status, he had many trophies claimed from his hunts and a scar on his left arm. The other two were not as experienced as him, one being a young-blood who has only been on a single hunt. The other was Hunter was around the age of Bhu'ja but has not been on as many Hunts, four Hunts to be exact. The party had just received a transmission from their clan leader to investigate a strange signal coming from a nearby planet.
al'Nagara Crew:
"Engines to full! You heard the Clan Leader, let's go investigate this 'glitch'. Who knows, there might be a good trophy to collect on that planet while we're there." Bhu'ja ordered, checking his holo-map for the data that the Clan Leader sent them. "Yes, sir." The experienced Hunter replied setting the engines to max speed. "Sir… I've detected another ship behind us, It's the th'syra…" informed the young-blood. Bhu'ja clicked his mandibles together as a sign of his annoyance with that name. "Why are they here…" He muttered. Bhu'ja knew the commander of the th'syra and didn't really like the way he Hunted. Lar'ja was known, to Bhu'ja, for being too aggressive and an 'all or nothing' kind of style. Bhu'ja himself was more of a Hunter who liked the idea of attrition and mid-range combat, the opposite of Lar'ja.
th'syra Crew:
"Sir we see another vessel, it's the al'Nagara." A voice said. "Him." Lar'ja growled "How is he ahead of MY Ship!?" The other two Yuatja looked at each other and decided not to speak. "We need to get to Earth first! Thrusters to full speed!" He barked at the Hunters. Lar'ja was desperate to reach the planet before Bhu'ja, he needed to show the universe he was the best… "The Empress will be mine…" He muttered "I will prove to my father that I am worthy of being his best son!" The other two were quite as they did their jobs, they knew better that they should not say anything against Lar'jas word or else it would turn out bad for them…
al'Nagara Crew:
"There increasing speed to Earth!" The experienced Hunter informed as the th'syra was moving past their ship. "That arrogant- "Bhu'ja said but was interrupted "Sir, we could go to max speed, but it won't be enough to get past the th'syra at that rate. If we want to beat them we could go into our pods, they are much faster." The experienced Hunter told Bhu'ja. "But they will see us and then copy us…" The young-blood said. "Not if we cloak our pods, cloak the ship too. The humans will see it in their planets orbit." Bhu'ja replied. "Yes sir." The two Hunters responded. Going to do what was asked of them.
th'syra Crew:
"They launched their pods, sir." One of the Hunters stated as he saw the pods launch and then cloak. "Those sneaky- Wait, GET TO YOUR PODS NOW!" Lar'ja roared. "We will arrive later than them, but that's fine. As long as we double time our movement." The second Hunter said. Lar'ja could only growl at this naïve Yuatja for saying that. He was too busy right now trying to get to the planet first. When they launched Lar'ja ordered "Aim for the Main Temple, we will attack there first."
al'Nagara Crew:
Bhu'ja saw Lar'ja activate his pods and aim for the Main Temple. "Do not go that way," Lar'ja commanded "We will let them deal with it first, and when they fail we will earn victory. Meanwhile, let's go to a different Temple." The pods changed directions towards a Temple located in the Amazon. "I hope there is at least a good trophy there…" The young-blood grumbled. "Don't worry, there are plenty of trophies for us all." The experienced Hunter replied cheerfully.
Author's Note: I'm focusing on a certain plot, but I will switch plots from time to time. I'll tell you when I do in the Narration, for those of you who might be confused and are from the RP.
