[b]At the base of Nicholas (Nick) and Reginald (Reggie) built, a fire has engulfed the broken portal. The two brothers slowly get off the ground, brushing the ashes off of them. They turn towards the strange team that walked out of a landed vertibird. They each wear black uniforms, except for a taller one who wears a cape and cowl, bearing a pistol. He strides towards them, and stops about 10 meters away. He pulls down his cowl to reveal a burned and scarred face. No one moves[/b]
STRANGE MAN-"HELLO! So glad you could make it!"
[b]The twins cough into their sleeves, looking at the carnage before them.[/b]
REGGIE-"WHO ARE YOU???"
STRANGE MAN-"Who am I? Who am I? I'm the guy they send when someone deserts from Red Baron."
[b]Nick glances at Reggie[/b]
NICK-"You worked for Red Baron?????"
REGGIE-"It wasn't that simp-"
NICK-"You.... You were my brother.... I TRUSTED YOU! AND YOU BETRAYED ME??? No.... Not just me... Arnold, Beatrice, everyone. You..."
STRANGE MAN-"Hate to break up your little squabble, but now that Nicky here knows about our little ordeal, I'm going to have to kill both of you."
[b]Nick stares at Reginald, who bares a look of guilt. The strange man raises his pistol and shoots Reggie square in the chest. In the heat of the execution, Nick takes off into the carnage.[/b]
STRANGE MAN-"Heh. You think you can run. We'll be back. We'll be back..."
[b]the crew gets into the vertibird and takes off, flying away from the smoke. Nick continues running down the hill the base was built on.[/b]

[b]He quickly flies over, dispensing sleeping gas onto the city. When hes done, he flies to his ship in orbit, extracts the warp drive, and installs it on his ship. He leaves[/b]
-
[b]you see a massive solar rupture and their planet is gone the few million survivors are now in Mars [/b]

[b]He sighs in failure.[/b] "Of course that wouldnt work...." [b]He imagines his home, Unity, and wonders if they would have been able to fit in there. He then begins to wonder that about multiple friends of his and races. He shakes his head and pushes a lever.[/b] "Probably not." [b]The ship comes out of warp and heads down to the surface.[/b]

[b]when you land you see crowds of matriarchy civilians and soldiers setting up camps and housing for the civilians[/b]

[b]He leans against a control console, facing his team[/b] "They'll die if they stay here. All of those armies will come down against them." NICK-"You want to grant them passage to Unity??? ARE YOU INSANE??????" "Look, I know it's probably not the best idea, but we can't just let their race die out. Unity is the only nation on our world, they could live a new, happy life. Sure, they might raise questions. But they would be living in a new world. a rising empire. This really doesnt have any bad way to end." BEATRICE-"He's got a point Nick..." NICK-"But... then this is the LAST time we let a race into that dimension. It HAS gone horribly wrong. But for us. Not for them. Open the portal." "Thank you for understanding." [b]He pulls a lever to create an enormous gateway in front of the camps. on the other side, there is a field of dead grass. stars illuminate the sky. beyond the field, lies a giant walled city, holding a glass dome. Clouds surround the city, but do not hover over it, or block the sun in any way. An enormous mountain lies even farther away, towering over the city. [/b] "Its their choice now. But we can only offer them so much time...."
-
[b]they look at the city in awe and a soldier approaches the portal hesitantly[/b]
-
[b]It simply sparks on the edges. Active campfires spot the dead grass. People are visible in the distance. Citizens leaving to build towns. (their war just ended) The Professor activates the energy-stabilizers and drops a machine that unpacks itself and holds up the portal. The Professor gazes into the portal.[/b] "And yet, I can't go back. I've been meaning to tell you guys, they said that I couldn't keep jumping through portals. I had to make a choice between Unity and the Exalin. I chose the Exalin and was exiled." BEATRICE-"You what...." "I know." [b]He looks back at the portal, wondering what they will do.[/b]

[b]some of them walk through the portal and others start to follow[/b]

[b]Klank walks into the medbay, and looks at nick [/b] "Who the hell was that?"

[b]He continues running away, coughing into his sleeve. He has several burns and cuts from the explosion.[/b]

[b]They holler at him[/b] "Do you need help?"
-
[b]He ignores them and keeps on running, and then is tackled by a strange woman (check Shadow's reply, wait until it's gotten to a point where you can jump in. It would be weird if suddenly they end up in a restricted area or something.)[/b]
