Europa RP
Deep in the galaxy, there is a system by the name of Europa. A band of soldiers, mercenaries, and grizzled veterans drift through space going from mission to mission, aiming to rid the world of evil and get rich in the process. They are called Fireteam Cyprus, and ride through space on the Cyprus Cruiser.
History: The group had a rough time on Mars, fighting against armies, hostile wildlife, and inhuman beings. Not to mention the high tension and near all out war between certain members of the team. The crisis was averted by peaceful words and logical actions, these ideas would usually be Murph's job to bring about, but he was alone on a planet called Zorada. He wandered, wondering if anyone would ever come for him, or if they wanted to, or if he even wanted them to, after his hostile actions, and the murder of a man named Felix. The crew (or most of them) however, shook it off, knowing he was not in his right mind when he did these things. They came after him, and we're now scouring the planet for him. Following different trails of evidence led the group to a large sinkhole, protected by a barrier. They were able to lift it by passing Trials, which they later learned were just tests made up by Providence to be sure they were prepared.They were moments away from getting through the barrier, yet they had no idea what they were stepping into...
After what seemed like forever, the group found Murph, only for him to be torn from them again, for the world had to be saved. Murph did not survive, and is now recorded as [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/158027066/0/0/1]KIA[/url].
The group moves on to what they hope are greener pastures. However, turns out they end up working for an old foe, Del Fino. Phantom is captured, and Minerva and Python are stranded on a nearby planet. With the Genesis out of play, Del Fino musters the strength to attack the Axion Cruiser. While they are recovering, Scout, an old friend now on the side of Del Fino, is found lurking the ship. She is captured and interrogated, and the team now prepares a full scale attack to finish Del Fino once and for all, and rescue Phantom in the process.
The rescue did not go as planned, losing many members, including Python and Phantom, leaving Minerva as the last surviving Genesis. Feeling alone, she soon [url=https://www.bungie.net/en/Forum/Post/164455804/0/0/1]fled[/url] from the team, and was not found for long after. Her fleeing caused strife within the Axion mercenaries, along with the loss of their role models and leaders, and eventually led to it being disbanded.
------------------------------------------
[b]10 Years Later...[/b]
After the loss of the Genesis, (Minerva missing and the others presumed dead) the Axion crew fell apart. However, a new team began to form, gathered by the same allure of treasure and adventure that once gripped the members of Exalin and Axion.
Once the team had gathered on the Cyprus cruiser, they located a base used by the Exalin team long ago. They found clues pointing to the existence of Genesis, but we're soon distracted by a mission requiring them to investigate a destroyed city. They found the creature that did it, and eliminated it. Or so they thought...
Stuff happened that OP has no idea about because he was afk. Feel free to PM a short summary of this section of the story if you have time.
Bored, most of the team look into jobs at the bounty board. One job sparks an interest in something bigger... Joshua and Vilnaks return with a hostage, reporting that a group of mercs was sent to retrieve information and possibly eliminate Cyprus. Out of leads, they continue to work on the case of the biggest assassination of the decade. They discover many pieces of evidence pointing to Genesis. But not just one, all of them. The group is stumped. Before they can think of a new plan, a large missile tears the Cyprus out of the sky. The ship's pieces land scattered, separating the crew into smaller groups. They are forced to fight harsh conditions, scavenge for food, and even build their own shelter in some cases. They wonder who's doing the ship's destruction was, and why the planet was deserted. Soon they found themselves fighting antimatter copies of the Genesis, and Minerva. After a long and hard battle, Minerva is struck down after activating all limiters at once. She is left to bleed out as the crew leaves, finding a new cruiser and claiming their reward after confirming Minerva was the assassin.
After drifting for what seemed like no longer than a few hours, but was in reality probably a few days, the crew gets reports of massive rocks called "Leviathans" crashing into planets, destroying most of them with the initial impact, then spreading a blue crystal that gives off an extremely powerful radiation called Phazon. The remaining people on these planets began to rise and mutate beyond recognition. Reports also came in saying Minerva was spotted attacking multiple GF bases. Perhaps the Phazon had gripped her. Seeing that stakes were higher than ever before, Cyprus convinces the GF to release Phantom temporarily, and he is convinced to create an entire second wave of Genesis supersoldiers. Even with their new upgrades, Cyprus still struggled to face the beasts they encountered, the Broodmothers, the Beserkers, each nigh impossible to kill and creating more with every victory. The crew is lucky to find someone immune to the virus, the name for the immunity and manipulation of Phazon later coined as Phazite. Her name was Tanya. Python spent too much time near her, exposing himself to the infection, and killing three: the Spartan Jackie, a high ranking officer of the ship, and his own wife, A'Karo. He fled soon after, with his wife's body.
I went super duper afk and missed like 3 arcs.
The group wanders, somewhat wondering what it would be like to have a real home again, like the empire, and not just some ship that'll crash next time they get near a big bad guy. They finally think of an idea that was hiding in plain sight, the Old Empire itself. Despite its destruction and abandonment, the team sets a course, determined to retake their home. Once there, they are ambushed by a massive Dread force, and sacrifice themselves to eliminate the Dread once and for all.
The Federation and Rebels have a war. The Federation wins(?).
A new team, The Infinite Pioneers, are assembled at Crux. They soon become the first humans to leave the Milky Way, exploring a brand new galaxy where mankind had never been before. They are attacked by some pirates after trespassing into their space, and some are taken to fight in an arena. Those taken manage to escape back to the Infinity.
Bounty Board
[spoiler][b]The bounty board contains missions and jobs. Three are added each time it updates. These jobs can be tackled together or alone, unless specified by the bounty. Bounties can be done at any time, despite the crew's situation, as bounties are placed in a time where the crew isn't busy. Bounties will have little to no effect on the main story (other than the money) unless marked as [u]important[/u].
Manually Input Bounties:
"Get the Bounty Board working."
Reward: "Bounties."
Placed By: Calleach
Details:
Three small metal beams sit beside the board, used for linking a location to the board. When placed, they will self-construct a beacon for bounty placement.[/b]
[b]There are three nearby planets with intelligent life within range of gunship flight.
The first, a volcanic planet with large rock creatures who, while being durable and able to survive in the hot conditions, are definitely a stretch on the word "intelligent".
The second, the planet from before, with the ability to reconstitute metals. They seem both smart and friendly, and much could be to gain by linking them into the board. -TAKEN BY AVELINE
The third, a very earth-like planet with somewhat human-like entities, much taller, and much more primitive. They fight amongst themselves a lot, and there seem to be many tribes. Finding safe, neutral ground to place the beacon would be extremely beneficial, but may be challenging as well.

4 RepliesOn an unknown planet, in an unknown solar system..... I wait. Captured. They have me in a crucifixion position. I seem....unconscious. Not dead. Not alive. Seemingly in a dream world. I think to myself.... What happened? Routine operation, gone to hell? Can't think about that now. I need to stay alive and strong. I sense Murph awaken from the bacta tank, millions of light years away. I look up at my captor, eyes red, voice deep and robotic. "Friendly Genesis signature detected. Moving to reinforce." I break through my simple chains and begin ripping apart the lesser Ignus troops in front of me. I pick up the first trooper and rip him in half and throw the pieces at my next target. One pulls a gun and shoots at me. I turn and drive my fist through his chest. He screams and yells. Then, all is silent. The troop drops his pistol, the pistol hits the ground with a loud thud. I drop the soldier. The others stare in disbelief as I pick up another one and squish his head in my hand. His brain spills over my fingers and I drop the body. I continue walking down a dark hallway, remaining silent. I see an armory of sorts, except the guns are in pieces. I see my comm link. I activate it, the frequencies instantly linking up with my systems. I make a call to any members of the Exalin team. "This is Python. I've been captured and tortured for roughly 2 years now. I sensed another Genesis soldier activate and I broke out. I don't know my coordinates. Come looking for me. Please, I wanna get of this rock." He eventually grows tired of waiting and begins looking for a hangar of sorts. He finds the hangar, sprinting to the nearest ship he takes off, sending out another transmission.... "Is anyone hearing this?" Nothing comes through and Python shakes his head, fearing that his friends are dead. He flies off, going to start a normal life. ............................................................................ Python lays in bed with his girlfriend, happy with what he has done with his life. "Morning honey." Python says, smiling at his girlfriend. "Morning Python." She says to him, smiling back. Python stands, looking at the clock. 8:30 am. Sunday so he wouldn't have to work. He turns back to his girlfriend, Jessica, who he had grown close to. "I'll make breakfast, want bacon?" He asks, already knowing the answer. "Of course I do." She smiles at him. Python walks to the kitchen of their apartment and turns on the stove. He puts the bacon on soon after and opens the fridge to get eggs and milk. Python cracks the eggs and pours them into the pan. He starts making French toast with the eggs and milk, after making some toast. Soon enough, him and Jessica are sitting at the table, eating their food. Python looks up at his girlfriend. "So, what do you want to do today?" She replies with a smirk. "I dunno, what do you wanna do?" Python shrugs and goes back to eating his French toast and bacon. The food goes into his anti-matter reactors, causing small boosts in energy. They finish the food and Python clears the plates and silverware from the table. He puts them in the sink, then stands there for a moment, thinking about his friends and Exalin and Hell and all the crazy stuff he had done. Jessica speaks up. "Python, you alright?" He looks over his shoulder at her, eyes red for a moment. He sees her and his eyes go back to their normal shade of light blue. "I'm fine. How did you like the bacon?" She looks at him, concerned. She had seen the red flash in his eyes. "I loved the bacon. I love the man that made it even more." Jessica stands and walks over. She hugs Python. Knowing what he was remembering. He turns to her and kisses her, returning the hug soon after. He picks her up mid-hug. She laughs. He smirks then says. "Seriously though. What do you want to do today?" She looks at him from his arms. "Well, there's always....." Python smiles. He carries her into the bedroom.... ............................................................................ As they finish, Python looks over at Jessica, smiling. She smiles back. He looks at the clock. 10:17 am. Python looks back at her. Jessica breaks the silence. "That was great." Python responds, still smiling. "Thanks. It was really pretty great." He stands and pulls his boxers and pants back on. She looks at him curiously. "Why moving so fast? It's only 10:30." Python turns to her, a strange look on his face. It's not hate, not anger, but fear. "I don't know. I've just got a bad feeling about today." Jessica jumps up and hugs Python. "You wanna talk about that feeling?" "Sure, but I don't think you'll like it." "I'm sure I'll be fine." Pythom sighes, preparing to tell her about what he has done. "Remember when we first met? When I told you I was hurt in a work related accident and that's why I'm a robot?" She nods. "Well, I lied. I was a soldier. A damn good one. The reason I got this surgery was to make me fight better, stronger." She sits down on the bed and Python pulls up his desk chair to face her. He reaches for her hand and holds her hand then continues the story. "Soon I was shipped off to a planet called Exalin. We ended up exploding or imploding it or something." She grips his hand, scared for her boyfriend. "Then we went to a planet called Thorisis. This time was different, we were there for the money. Mercenaries." Python stares into Jessica's eyes, hoping she won't flip out after he hit the bad spot. "That was a disturbing mission. Then we went to Hell. Literally. A friend on the team lost his throne there and we helped him get it back." Python sighes, knowing she would look differently upon him after this. "You sure you wanna know this part? It gets pretty dark." She looks him in the eyes, curious and frightened. "Yes. I do. I really do. We are a team. Your burden is my burden too." Python sighes. "After that, we all split up. I've seen a few of my old squadmates once in a blue moon but not too often." He looks at the clock. 12:48 pm. "I was recruited to clear out planets for civilization to take over. Inhabitanted or non-inhabitanted." Jessica's eyes dart quickly around his face, trying to see if this was just another prank of his. His face remains hard and serious, sad even. She speaks up. "So, that means you killed families?" Python remains silent and looks down. Her eyes start watering and she eventually starts crying. He hugs her, knowing to stop the story. ............................................................................ Python looks at the clock. 1:50 pm. Jessica was shocked at him. She sits at the table, eating a sandwich. Python sits on the couch, head in his hands. He knows he had screwed up bad this time. He looks up at her from the couch. She finishes her sandwich. Her eyes still red from crying. He breaks the awkward silence. "Come here." Python half smiles and opens his arms. Jessica comes over and sits on the couch next to him. He hugs her. "Listen, I've changed. I really have." She looks at him, tears in her eyes. "How can I be sure? How do I know you won't lash out one day?" Python burries his head in her shoulder. "I could never hurt you. You're my pride and joy." She smiles and hugs back. "You know you're the cutest robot I've ever met?" Python smiles. "I figured." Python pulls back a little and wipes the tears from her eyes. "I love you." She smiles. "If you think that got you out, you are so wrong, mister." Python smiles then kisses her. ............................................................................ Python lays awake in bed, Jessica sleeping next to him. He looks at the clock. 2:13 am. He can't sleep. Who could with what happened earlier? He rolls over to look at Jessica. She's laying there, in a deep sleep. A sound comes from the living room. Python gets up and grabs his baseball bat from under the bed. He comes into the room and sees a man-shaped figure. "Listen buddy, get the Hell out and I won't bash your skull in." The man seems to smile. "Good old Python. Always resorting to violence first." Jessica wakes up, hearing the voices. She notices Python has left the bed. She gets up and walks over to the dresser, where they keep the gun. She chambers a round, takes off the safety and starts walking towards the living room. Python doesn't notice and keeps talking. "Who are you?" The man lights a cigar and for a second Python sees what his face looks like. "Who I am doesn't matter. It's what I'm about to do that you should be worried about." Jessica takes aim at the man. The gun is smacked from her hands by another man. Python turns. "Jessica!" He runs at his girlfriend while she tries to fight off the man. Python feels a prick in the back of his head. He doesn't stop. Python jumps onto the man as he begins to overpower Jessica. He starts beating the man. Jessica scrambles for the gun again. She finds it and is relieved at first. Then, a foot steps on her as she reaches for it. She screams and Python looks up. His fists bloody from the man he just killed. "PYTHON!" Jessica screams as she is dragged away another man injecting her with a needle. Python looks at his hands, his vision blurs. He falls to the ground, unconscious.
