"Sir!...Sir!... your need Admiral!" The high officers yawned and growned as he rolled out of the wooden bed, in which he had imported from Earth aboard the floating comand station they called a home.  He answered the door as he slipped on a white shirt.  His eye, the only good one he had left, adjusted to the light and the small lizard like man at the door "What is it Syks? why do you wake me at such an hour!?"<br/><br/>The small lizard man gulped softly "Sssir... Sssomething has been detected in the 3rd quadrant, near the Aploxy systems Sssir... itsss nothing like we've ssseen before..." The old man grumbled softly before returning to his room to dress.  Minuets later Syks and Admiral Winters entered the comand deck of the Colonized space vessel known as the Nova.  "SIR!" came a reply from a multitude of people or variant races and sexes.  A lithe girl who looked twelve but was actually 103 spoke softly "Admiral, at 0200 hours this appeared on the radar..." a small blotch bleeped into existance every now and then on the screena dn then vanished "...its almost as if its there.... then not..." she brought something else to the screen.  A video began to play but it only showed blackness "sir, then this came at 0330 hours..." the video was playing but all they got was sound, like a soft whispering wind, but there was also a lost and distant, and kind of psycotic laughter, faint but clear.  The video cuts out after a few moments as the girl stares at Winters lost.<br/><br/>Tal'dun, an insect like creature spoke after "oddity is, area of space, is... dead" the girl broke in to translate properly as the bug didnt understand common well.  "what he is saying Sir, is the blotch and video message came from the planet Drax, which was abbandonded 33 years ago, durring the Empire wars, the planet was said to have been so over radiated that all on it died...."  The old man stopped playing with his mustache before he began his duty as commander of the vessel.  "Syks, recomission alpha team, send them in to investigate and give them what protective gear is necessary, I want this figured out with in the week, be it a sick joke, or rebal uprisings again..." with that said the plans began to unroll as alpha team was summoned to do their duty.<br/><br/>That was 2months ago, it takes 1 day with space jump technology (only owned by the UUA) to get to Drax.  It has been 2 months since alpha team was sent on their missions, and noone has heard or seen them since the second day.  With that the Admirals fist was clenched as he gulped "Im going to regret this...Syks, call in Valery Crom..." the lizard mans eyes widened, her rag tag team of would be mercs almost ended the war the wrong way.  "but sir..." syks said.  "DO IT!" Winters shouted as the lizard scurried off to send his messages.<br/><br/>Fallen Angels, was a team of would be heros set up to protect lives.  However multitude of members were over zelos and by the end of the war the group was split up to different departments. The only one that wasn't still a member was LT. Baelferious Septum, whome thought it wise to disengage the military life after a fall out with a fellow member as well as almost being the one to lose the war.  Yet Winters need people who were skilled yet a little crazy to take on this task, this blotch of darkness that grew bigger by the day had him awake most nights wondering what was causing the stars around Drax to just, go out, like a light switch.  He had hoped Alpha team would solve it, but he'd rather send in expendables now and hope,  next step would be a full on course of action, but until then this mission was in Croms hands.<br/><br/><br/><strong><span class="bbc_u">THE NOVA</span></strong><br/><br/>(http://media.moddb.com/cache/images/groups/1/5/4418/thumb_620x2000/BS_Giant_SpaceShip_01.jpg)
