Title: The Vaccine
Description: Part II of the Indoctrination Story


Rasengod7 - February 6, 2008 11:21 PM (GMT)
The group of ships arrived in the Pangaea Expanse. They began to search for the planet known as Correlos. The ships found the planet in the Haven System.

Kaleb gave the mission orders to each member. They were going to land on the planet. Once they landed they were going to search in a certain area and hopefully find the dragon's teeth. They were all going to stay together for this one. Kaleb prayed that all would go well.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The geth detected several ships above the planet. They did not try and intercept them, but they readied the husks. They dispatched several divisions of geth and hundreds of husks to try and find the intruders when they landed.


Tsunami - February 6, 2008 11:47 PM (GMT)
Luke looked at the conference table. He turned to Kaleb "Is there anyway for us to scan for the dragon's teeth? Give us an idea where to land?".

Rasengod7 - February 6, 2008 11:59 PM (GMT)
"I am one step ahead of you." Kaleb said. He pressed a button and an image of the planet popped up on the screen in the middle of the table. A circle apppeared on the image. "Inside this circle somewhere is the dragons teeth. It is a 15 mile radius, but that was as small an area of search I could get." Kaleb informed the group.

Tsunami - February 7, 2008 12:11 AM (GMT)
Luke speculated "It's logical that it would be in the center. However that's most likely not the case. It's probably throwing it's signal off slightly. We have to be VERY careful here.".

Rasengod7 - February 7, 2008 01:56 AM (GMT)
"It is dangerous, but it should be okay." Kaleb said. Kaleb left the room and prepared his supplies. This was going to be his most important mission yet.

Tsunami - February 7, 2008 01:58 AM (GMT)
Before going to load up Luke sent a message on open channel inside the ship. "Anyone wanting a free ride get ready and meet me at the Silvana. Luke out.".

Hyla - February 7, 2008 02:40 AM (GMT)
The message rang through the Herechio's COMMS as they drifted alongside the fleet. Tyrrus had opted to take his ship back from the AI's clone after XP's little maneuver inside the Reaper dreadnought.. he was impressed, but not so much that he would trust his ship in AI hands. He was certain that Aurora had something to do with that little patch of chaos.

Hyla was at his side, watching the map readouts that were being transmitted in a mission brief. The implants the Geth had put in her head had now been all but removed; they seemed to be transmitting information, statistics, readouts, all measuring Hyla's brainwaves and biotic fluctuations. Occasionally they'd flare with LEDs, particularly when she was thinking about something, or when she was worried. Tyrrus thought they were sort of... fitting.

The Asari rubbed her forehead, "Kaleb has sent us some very vague co-ordinates for something called Dragon's Teeth.." she looked at him, "Any idea what that is?"

"I heard a little COMM chatter while I was planetside looking for you. It's a cure or something.. that's about all I know." Tyrrus responded, bringing the small fighter around to the Sylvania's hangar bay, "Probably not wise to pry, these guys probably won't trust us much seeing as we're not really supposed to be attending this mission.."

Hyla gave a small nod, "Money's money I guess."

Tyrrus grinned, "Hey, lighten up, soon as all this crap is over, we'll go back to the Citadel and BUY Flux, how about that?"

"I just want to go home.. a small detour has turned out to be several systems out of the way." The Asari leaned back in her seat, "But get me some armour and I can help out at least."

"Sure, kid, I'm sure there's something in your size er.. somewhere.." Tyrrus replied, resting his chin on his hand and sighing.

Rasengod7 - February 7, 2008 02:52 AM (GMT)
Kaleb sent another transmission to the others. It was time to land on the planet. All the ships made their way planetside. Kaleb was the first to touch down on the surface. This planet was obviously a prothean planet. This planet was exactly like Ilos. The design was the exact same thing. Kaleb checked the area. There seemed to be noone else in the area.

Opium - February 7, 2008 03:34 AM (GMT)
Opium left the medical room to let Zerovin to rest a bit and heard the message from Kaleb. She quickly ran to her equipment and got ready. She thought for a moment about Zerovin and how he could possibly help, but then she remembered that he was wounded pretty bad... she tossed aside the thought and gathered her weapons and some more medi-gel.

She walked around for a while for she was sort of lost. Opium giggled at the thought of being stuck there and not making it in time to help them all out on the mission. So, she decided to wait for further instructions. She grabbed a chair and waited patiently.

Leo XV - February 7, 2008 09:33 AM (GMT)
Leo XV looked at Phon "you sure you want to do this?" he asked.

"Hey if this involves kicking butt, Im in" Phon said.

"Smart girl" Gen said as the group jumped out of the Omega, in a Mako of course.

xp194 - February 7, 2008 10:03 PM (GMT)
The Independance jumped it,

xp194 was still shaken from his temporary reconnection to the neural network.

"Prehaps I can talk to Syth, or Leo about it..." he thought.

He brought the Independance in to land.

"You okay? You still don't seem quite yourself?" Asked Aurora, concerned.

"Yeh, I'm fine. I'm still me, anyway. No voices telling me what to do."

"Just checking. I'll lock you down if you start going crazy though."

"fair enough"

Tsunami - February 7, 2008 10:27 PM (GMT)
Luke sent Opium a message "If you need a lift down, head to the Silvana." He needed everyone to go down, this would take all the help they could get.

Opium - February 7, 2008 11:16 PM (GMT)
Opium recieved Luke's message and leaped up. "Okay, rodger that!" replied Opium to Luke's message. She ran over to the Silvana and was ready to go. She sent Zerovin a message, too about heading to the Silvana and to get ready.

She finally got there and bounced around happily, looking at Luke and saying, "Ready when you are!"


A Quarian - February 7, 2008 11:51 PM (GMT)
A sudden ring from his comm. link woke Zerovin up from his sleep. With his eyes still shut, he active this link and listened to the message he had received from Opium. He slowly opened his eyes, kicked his feet off the side of the bed, and yawned as he stared round the infirmary. He slowly slid off the side of the bad and stood there for a few moments, regaining himself. He stretched and then sent Opium a message, telling her that he was on his way.

He stumbled around for a bit, but quickly regained his balance. “Wow!” he said to himself, “I feel so much better!” he reached down to his side to find it had been rewrapped and his wound almost completely healed. On the far side of the room he found his pistol and shotgun laying on the tray, he walked over and check over his gear, then readied himself, for what was next.

With his shotgun on his back, and his pistol at his side, he gave out one more moan as he stretched again. He took a deep breath then walked out of the infirmary and towards the Silvana. When he finally reached the ship he stood there and starred at it, without a word, he nodded his head in approval a walked aboard. Once on board he found Opium bouncing around and someone he didn’t meet personally yet.

“Hi Opium!” he said in a cheerful manner as he leaned against the metal hull, he then turned his head toward the man that stood there, he seemed to be running the ship. “Nice ship you have here.”

Leo XV - February 8, 2008 09:12 AM (GMT)
"Guys, my teams on the ground, we'll scout ahead" Leo XV said "Dont engage in comm chat unless its urgent"

Luke turned to the other person coming "Thank you, I designed her myself. Everything from the engines and shields to the guns and harpoon. She's made to do damage then run." Luke started to walk inside "You guys decide who takes the harpoon gun, I'm going to start the activation sequence.".

A Quarian - February 9, 2008 05:57 AM (GMT)
"I’ll take the gun." He stood there for a moments, thinking with a lowered head, as he leaned against the metal hull the Silvana.
Slowly he rose his head up then turned back to Opium, "Thanks for patching me up." he said with a kind smile upon his covered face as the rested his hand on his wrapped torso. "How are you? Are you alright?" he was curious how she was doing.

Leo XV - February 10, 2008 05:01 AM (GMT)
The Mako was trundling softly across the pathway "Its way too quiet, even for a planet like this" Gen said.

"He is right" Ikruz said, toting a Pulse pistol.

Verox looked out the turret "At the very least, there should've been some security" he added, pulling out his pulse rifle.

"This is so a trap" Phon pointed out.

Leo XV nodded "But what kind of trap..." he trailed off, looking out the veiw port. What he saw was a massive group of... "HUSKS!" Leo yelled "lots of them".

Opium - February 10, 2008 06:03 AM (GMT)
Opium stopped bouncing to listen to Luke ask who will be taking the Harpoon gun. She nodded towards Luke to show she heard, but before she could say anything, Zerovin spoke up and said that he would be taking the gun. After that he then thanked her for patching him up. "You're welcome! I'm just glad I could help." was Opiums reply for his thanks. Then he asked her how she was doing.

She took a moment to reply, for she was day dreaming, and in a sort of daze. "Oh, um, I'm fine, thank you! Hey, why are you asking?" Opium asked back.


A Quarian - February 10, 2008 07:54 AM (GMT)
"Hey, why are you asking?"

Zerovin sighed in disbelief at what he had just said to Opium. He closed his eyes and bit his lower lip as he tried to find the words to reply. “Umm… Well…” He raised his hand to the back of his head and began to think. “I’m a…” again his signed, he began fell like a fool, stammering, trying to find the proper words. He let out a nervous chuckle then sighed as he lowered his head in shame “Ah… Its, just… Umm…”

He was very nervous, “I, uhh, was just…” he paused, to think again. “I think I should go, get the, gun, ready…” He stopped leaning against the hull and made his way to the gun, with his back to Opium, he cursed very softly to himself and punched himself in the shoulder for not answering her question properly.

Opium - February 10, 2008 08:11 AM (GMT)
She was very confused at his mumbling, but shrugged for she thought it was because he was suffering from after-affects of the drugs she gave him when she was healing him. She watched him as he turned around and giggled.

Opium then remembered the importance of this mission and decided that it was a good time to stop the chatter. She needed to wait for her next commands. She stood up strait and ready.

A Quarian - February 10, 2008 08:27 AM (GMT)
He walked around the corner and slammed himself against the wall and stood there. He took a few deep breaths and then began to count, "Ok, ok, ok!" he said to himself as he tried to regain his composer, but he just couldn’t. He raised his fist and looked at it, with a swift motion; he punched himself in the mask, but quickly recovered. “Alright, I can do this…”

He turned back around the corner; he could see Opium a few feet away. He opened his mouth to say something, but the works just vanished from his lungs, he held his hand out in front of him, but he slowly clenched his fists and began to shake in frustration, “Err…” he moaned as he turned back around the and continued walking down the corridor and towards the Harpoon. He grabbed a hold of the gun and looked down at its control terminal, he stared at if for a few moments looking for the off switch, after a while he found it and turned off the gun, with the gun down, he sighed and slammed his head down on it. “Arhhh, I’m a coward!” he said as he rested his head down on the terminal.

Leo XV - February 10, 2008 11:27 AM (GMT)
Leo watched as the massive group of Husks climbed over the ledge, running towards the Mako. The group moved immediatly, Ikruz grabbed the turret controls, Phon putting on a childs suit of armour Leo XV had found on the Omega. Gen grabbed some extra rocket rounds along with Verox, preparing to reload the cannon.

Suddenly the Mako rocked as Ikruz open fired on the husks with the cannon, blazing away with the rifle. However despite the increased rate of cannon fire it seemed to have little effect on the Husks, as for every one that died two took its place. Leo prepared to back up the Mako when he realised that this was indeed a trap as a load of husks came from the other direction. To put it simply, they were stuck betwen two moving walls of modified, electricly charged, metal fury.

"Everyone prepare to exit!" Leo XV shouted.

"Theres too many" Ikruz said.

"Hes right" Gen agreed "even with three powerful biotics, a engineer and a modified shock trooper geth we wont survive, not against these numbers"

Verox shook his head "not quite, Phon do you think you can use that gift of yours that we gave you?"

Phon smiled "I was wondering when you were going to ask"

"Ok, Gen, Phon, with me at the door" Leo shouted "On three, throw. 1...2...3!" he shouted, opening the dor and, with Gen and Phon, combined a large throw force, pushing masses of Husks into the walls.

Leo XV leapt onto one of the walls and started blasting away at the Husks with his shotgun blast, while Gen and Verox open fired on the reeling masses. Ikruz hacked one of the Husks, getting it to start attacking its allies, while he threw a sabotage and overload capsule at two different groups of Husks.

Phon lept out of the Mako as the Husks swarmed over it, overcharging it and causing it to explode. Activating the modifications in her feet she stomped the ground, ripping two chunks of earth/metal/stone from underneath her. Activating the one in her head, her already impressive biotic and feeling skills were suddenly enhanced as she threw the two chunks at the advanceing Husks "They just keep coming! she shouted, feeling more Husks arriving.

"Dont lose hope, their ranks are thinning" Leo XV shouted, sabotaging a husk groupthen blasting away at them. The Battle was now basiccly the group (except Leo XV, who was bouncing off the walls) surronded by piles of ruined Husks, with some groups climbing over the piles. Blasting away at the Husks with throw, lift, singularity, all manner of tech attacks and gunfire. the groups of husks slowly but surely, dwindeled down until they were all eliminated.

As Gen and Phon caght their breath Leo XV activated the comm again "Guys there are a lot of Husks here, I think we took out a chunk of them but just be cautious when you land".

Tsunami - February 10, 2008 02:10 PM (GMT)
Luke finished the start up sequence. "Ladies and Gentlemen this is your captain speaking. We are presently beginning lift off. Please step away from the exit, sit down and strap in as we are going dpwn to kick some serious ass." Luke said that trying to sound as serious as he could but couldn't help laugh. Once the door was shut they left the hangar and headed for the surface. "Kaleb this is Luke, I'm heading down with Opium and her friend. Will contact you for orders when we land.".

A Quarian - February 11, 2008 02:57 PM (GMT)
"Ladies and Gentlemen this is your captain speaking. We are presently beginning lift off. Please step away from the exit, sit down and strap in as we are going down to kick some serious ass."

With a loud sigh, Zerovin raised his head up from the termianl. "Alright..." he whispered to himself as he turned the termianl back on and readied to Harpoon for anything. "You have to tell her!" he shouted in his mind. "I DONT KNOW!" the other half would shout back, his mind was on a complete dead lock.

Tsunami - February 11, 2008 09:44 PM (GMT)
The silvana landed at the coordinates as planned. Before opening the door Luke radioed up "This is Luke, We've landed and await instructions. Please verify area of search in relation to landing zone.".

xp194 - February 12, 2008 09:56 AM (GMT)
The Independance undocked, and began it's descent into the atmosphere.

"This thing holds together better than I thought." remarked Aurora.

"She should. After all, I made her."

The Independance touched down, and was almost immediatly swarmed by husks, trying to get inside.

"Shoo! Go away!" Yelled xp194.

A tingling at the base of his 'head' formed.

"What's that?"

"Don't know. Might be the Neural Network, I'm not exactly familiar with geth layout." Said Aurora.

"I said GO AWAY!" xp194 yelled to the husks outside.

To his astonishment, the husks stopped trying to claw their way in, and lurched off to places unknown.

"Either they just followed my command..." xp194 said after a while

"Or they've detected something more important." Aurora finished.

(Note, I'm thinking of turning this tingling into something important. Like a simplified indoctrination, but not quite. It's kinda hard to explain for me at the moment, but basically I'm hoping that xp194 can control a small number of husks)

Rasengod7 - February 13, 2008 09:27 PM (GMT)
Kaleb continued on foot to the structure in front of him. The others were close by, but they all spread out. Sythenus was supposed to be here soon. Once he arrived with reinforcements things would get better.

Kaleb ran inside the structure in front of him. There was a large pit inside. Inside the pit were husks. It seemed like the floor underneath them collapsed.

Kaleb moved forward to take a closer look and he was suddenly pushed in the pit. During his fall he was able to grab on to something. Kaleb was holding on for dear life. He needed help.

Tsunami - February 13, 2008 10:19 PM (GMT)
Luke opened the Silvana's hatch and outside he could see a building not too far off. "Guys I think that's a good place to start the search." Luke grabbed his guns and knives out of one of the lockers and started to the building.

xp194 - February 13, 2008 10:27 PM (GMT)
"people, just to let you know, there are husks in the general area." xp194 reported, climbing out of his cockpit.

He marched to where the Silvania had landed, and met up with Luke.

"Something... wierd just happened."

xp194 explained the husk attack, and then the seeming following orders.

"I dunno..." he finished. "I don't really know what to make of it..."

Tsunami - February 13, 2008 10:34 PM (GMT)
Luke thought for a moment. "Here's what I'm thinking, you stay and watch these two. I'll go ahead and check out the building over there. We stay in radio contact and I'll tell you guys to rush in or away depending on what I find." He made sure all of his equipment was secure.

xp194 - February 13, 2008 11:09 PM (GMT)
"sounds like a good plan. Do you have some form of computer? Aurora is nagging me to get you to take her along. She says that you will need the help."

"Darn right. Besides, between us three? His mind is boring."

"HEY!"

A Quarian - February 14, 2008 12:01 AM (GMT)
Zerovin stood there, with the harpoon ready, he scanned the area, but there was nothing to even be seen in the field. He stood there for a few moments, watching. With a sigh, he lowered the harpoon and leaned up next to it. He lowered his head, sighed, and raised it back up to continue watching out into the field.

After a while and with yet another sign, Zerovin stood up and walked back down the corridors of the ship, with his gear ready, he continued to walk around, until he came to the ramp that led down to solid ground. Instead of walking down the metal ramp, he took a seat at the top, and watched into the distance. I sat here staring, but looked down to see Luck talking to someone, but he just brushed the thought off, and continued to watch.

Tsunami - February 14, 2008 12:08 AM (GMT)
"Hang on, I have a helmet with VI interface in my room. Never know when it'll come in handy.". Luke grabbed the helmet and came back "So is the interface wireless? I don't have any wires with me.".

Leo XV - February 14, 2008 01:10 AM (GMT)
Leo XV and his group had maneged to apply medi and omni gel to their minor wounds and were now investigating where one group had come from.

"If there are Husks here, then there must be other geth" Leo said.

Phon nodded "but are they with the reapers?" she asked.

"Be dammed if I know" Gen said.

xp194 - February 14, 2008 11:06 AM (GMT)
"Ok, got it. Starting transfer... rather small in here!" came Aurora's voice through the helmet speakers.

"You got her now. I take no responsibility for her driving you insane though," xp194 joked.

"You just shut up. I'm not gonna try anythin. Honest."

Tsunami - February 14, 2008 11:23 AM (GMT)
Luke started to run toward the building in the distance, making sure he was in contact range with the others. The building seemed old enough. Once he was inside he saw a large pit. He got up closer and Kaleb was hanging on to something at the side. He grabbed some sturdy vines and tossed them down "Kaleb, grab these. They're strong enough to pull you up.".

A Quarian - February 16, 2008 08:46 PM (GMT)
"This is Interesting" Zerovin said with a sigh. He kicked his feet out, crossed then, leaned back against the metal hull of the ship, and crosses his arms cross his chest, he stared out, looking for something, yet there was nothing to be seen in the opening.

He cocked his head and readjusted his neck with a loud crack, in a sigh of relief and made himself comfortable and continued to guard the ship without falling asleep from the mindless nothingness.
