The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

"Goodnight," Kiara cooed, giving Kovu a kiss on the cheek as he slept.

Spike went to a makeshift bed he had made.  He wrapped himself in a blanket and went to sleep.  

----

Sunburn was looking for the hottest part of the ship so he could get some sleep.  He liked to sleep in hot places sometimes, when the mood was upon him.  Terrafin found a comfortable place to go to sleep in, an out of the way place.

Sneed went back to his room and fell asleep.

"Thanks for letting me stay here," Oliver told Arlene

The "day" had begun at 0800 hours. Captain Carson awoke and saw via her in-room console that the ship had dropped out of hyperspace and was now orbiting Clockwerk.

She got up and headed to the bathroom.

A few minutes later, she was clad in her basic armored captain's uniform (not the advanced AI containing uniform that she had worn on Khan but the simple cloth one that she wore on the Skylands). She exited her room and took her seat at the console.

The woman pressed the button on the intercom and messaged Stripetail. "Good morning, Commander. It is now 0800 hours Spire of Winter Time and we now orbiting Clockwerk."

The next morning Gron awoke made his way to the kitchen.  He started to cook breakfast for the rest of the group, the symbiote's ability to stretch out parts of itself to be tentacles coming handy while he was preparing the food and able to prepare, then cook several things at the same time.   Among the other abilities it had.

"Are we about to get to the next planet?" Rabbit asked hopefully, "We can spread the word of Khan there!"

"Chances are this planet won't be listening, from what we heard," Kiara yawned as she awoke.

Captain Carson then hailed Bentley. "Bentley, this is RICMS Spire of Winter, we are now orbiting Clockwerk. Over."

She waited for Bentley to reply.

-----------

Deimos was already awake and waiting for breakfast to be served. Strut and Rime were nursing cups of steaming hot coffee. Ms. Swimmer daintly drank from a glass of green tea. Mr. Bigmouth opted for strong black tea.

"So Rime. Ready for another day of adventures?" Deimos asked.

"Nope. Me and Strut are doing just fine in the industrial areas. We've had enough insanity to last a lifetime."

Zachary and Dr. Zanasiu arrived on the scene and helpes themselves to some hot tea.

"By the way," the waiter said. "Commander Stripetail requests his crew meet in the hangar bay after breakfast."

Gron continued with making breakfast for the others.  As he finished a dish he'd put it on the breakfast table.  

-----

Spike awoke.  He yawned then started to get up, still thinking he'd rather sleep a while longer but figuring if he didnt' get up now Twilight would just bug him there was likely things to do on her to do list, such as making today's to do list.

Captain Carson downloaded the coordinates. As she did so, she ordered a trio of probes to be dispatched to the planet. These probes were intended to be shot into a planet's atmosphere and then fly around. While they were technically disposable, it wasn't uncommon for them to be retrieved if the planet was deemed to be relatively safe.

She then headed to the Winterville Tavern where the crew was having breakfast.

The Human sat down on a chair. "All right, I got the coordinates from the person who hailed is. However, we have no info on this planet. I need volunteers to explore the planet after the probes return."

----------

(Clockwerk)

Three faint lines of fire appeared in the sky as the probes plunged through the atmosphere.

And then as suddenly as the lines appeared, they vanished as the probes jettisoned their heatshield and transformed into small planes.

"They're sending help now," Bentley told the rest of the Cooper Gang.

"Thank goodness, being stuck in this bad boy planet is ruining my bling," Dimitri said, the lizard looking at a magazine.

.......................

"I don't like the sound of this new planet either," Vitani said

Spike decided to head to get some breakfast.  He knew of only one real place to get any food at, unsure if there were other places he could get food at or not.  

-------

Sunburn and Terrafin awoke from where they had found places to sleep and after putting away their bedding, they decided to head out and see about getting breakfast.

-----

Gron finished cooking the meals and putting them on the table for when the others would come in to eat.  He then started to clean and put away the stuff he had used to prepare the cooking of the meals.

Captain Carson noticed as Stripetail came in. "Ah yes, I'm currently having our probes test the planet. So far, the results show that the planet's atmosphere matches that of Earth and its gravity is Earth-like as well, but the planet is slightly more magically active at thirty kilothaums."

She then took a sip of her tea. "Now then, we need volunteers to extract Bentley and his crew."

"Understood, Commander." Captain Carson looked over the group. "Deimos, Zanasiu, Bigmouth, Johnson, Swimmer, Lockie, Fairchild, Douglas and Martin. You're heading planetside!"

A monitor/microphone assembly was hanging from the ceiling to the living planes could be included.

"I'll go," Dr. Kerzach said, stepping out from the kitchen.

"Kerzach," Captain Carson said, as she fixed him with a hard gaze. "This isn't the place for a cook. We can't risk anything."

"I'm aó"

"That wasn't a request. Please return to your station." She looked over the gathered crew. She was still short one.

"Galai, you're chosen!"

The Hawk, clad in a helmet and ballistic vest saluted as he took his positions near the Pelvanida group.

(OOC - Galai is a generic Spirarian soldier, he can be killed off.)

"Let's do this," Rabbit said to Fox, "If we help save this world we can spread the word of Khan there."

"Just think of what you'll get when we finish this mission," Kiara grinned to Kovu, whispering the "prize" in his ear
