You make Revenant Swing his Blade right at the Mech, but the lucky Bastard was one split second faster on the block. Though it's weapon has seen better days.
HE Mech Knife takes a Glancing Blow!
Then on the radio....
"Omega V-3 Missile launchers up and ready Sir!!"
"Замечательно! Hey Comrade, you ready to see the power of pure Russian Engineering?"
You wonder what he means by that as all of the sudden, the back of the ship opens. On it, there are hundreds of Missiles inside, all ready for combat, but only about five to six are Launched as they rush out of their Missile Tubes and rush towards the targets.
14+3=17 5+1=6 10+3=13
Poor Bastards never stood a chance..... The Mech was about to go for another Stab as you quickly back-dash from it to get out of range, but three of the six Missiles quickly come into view, and he tries to escape.....
Eopsian Mech (2) R. Shoulder Destroyed!! Insta-death!!!
But it was in vain. The Missiles shattered the poor Bastards Right Shoulder and immediately made his core go critical. The ships, seeing this, try to use their thrusters to escape, but also see the Missiles come up too fast.
Eopsian Ships Destroyed!!
ENEMIES DEFEATED!! +700 Resources!
You sigh as the Damascus Captain comes back onto your Radio.
"Comrade! Good fighting out there! You fight like a glorious Soldier! Come aboard and we have a talk! Park your Mech in the Ship Bay."
You sigh as your Mech makes it's way to the place the Ships go toward as it opens. As you and your new allies land, you see thousands of workers and people all lined up, looking at the sight of Revenant. The Cockpit door opens and you get out, a personal elevator bringing you down to ground level. You then hear the guy that hailed you on the Radio.
"Bozhe moy..... A Human? A Human was Piloting this?"
His look then turns serious. He turns the gaze unto you, looking you straight in the eyes.
"Name and Parents Occupation. Now."
[ ] (Write in a wanted name.)
- [ ] "My Mother and Father work as Soldiers for the United Earth Navy, Sir! They gave it their all and we're too injured to keep fighting!"
- [ ] "My Mother and Father Work as Scientists to reverse engineer the Enemies Gear and Weaponry, Sir! They got plasma burns and scars to prove it!
- [ ] "My Mother and Father were spies for the United Earth Federation, Sir! They were the Stealthiest Sons of Bitches this side of the Galaxy, Sir!"
- [ ] "My Parents are Jobless Sir. Nothing noteworthy of me."
(Each one of these options has a different Stat layout, starting ground gear, and bonuses.)

"My name is Keldin, Sir! My mother and father are scientists in the United Earth Federation, reverse engineering Alien Weaponry that was kicking all of our asses, Sir!"
You remember all the times your Mother brought you into the testing area to see the Weapons. Smiling and laughing as the Scientists pull the triggers and blast apart the Targets.
The old Captain gets out a Cigar, lights it up, puffs twice, and chuckles.
"My name, is Zadornov Vaniamin Tarasovich. I am the Captain of the sole surviving SCUSS Damascus. Nice to meet you, Mr. Keldin."
He sticks out his hand and you take it. In that moment, the grip nearly squishes your bones, nearly breaking them. You nearly squeak out in pain as he does, but you swallow it back and simply chuckle. He then sighs as he then walks away, with you following close behind.
"It's good to see that there is one more survivor, at least... Though I wish that we could've saved Earth."
You sigh sadly at that.
"It was out of our hands when those Vukits invaded a few months ago. We got a bunch of plans and designs for Weaponry, but... We should've known that they did something to the Core. But by the time we did... It was too late."
Zadornov halts as he punches the wall with a frustrated grunt.
"Черт бы их побрал. Когда я получаю свои руки от своего вождя или от того, что они слушают, я собираюсь выжать их органы из их тела перед ними!!"
He takes a breath and clears his throat, then keeps on walking. He shows you the Scientist bay, as then you hear a slight explosion.
"Hurensohn!! That was close! I have to get this sealed up. The Capacitor is so fucked even a dirty politican wouldn't touch it!"
[SCIENCE!!]
"Is that a Hyperdrive Relay with a deteriorated Proton capacitor? Easy fix! You have to completely resynchronize the primary and auxiliary autosequencers, or the resulting output decay will cause a catastrophic thoron dump, turning anyone and anything nearby in a radius of 462 Feet to turn into Plasmatic goo."
He turns to you with a VERY surprised smile.
".... Well, I'll be damned. Is that a fellow scientist I hear? Reimdal, Elain, come meet our young genius!"
You see your Parents, the two aforementioned scientists, come out of their workspot and see your face. They begin to tear up and rush to hug you.
"Oh my baby boy!! Oh my goodness are you alright!?"
"Yes Mom, I am."
"Did you suffer anything?"
"A cough. Nothing major."
"Hmm... Well, that's good to hear... I guess. As long as your alive, it doesn't matter."
Your Father hugs you tighter, and you return the favor, you two sharing in your weak grips. Your Mother Chuckles as you break apart, smiling.
"Uh... Mr. and Mrs. Reiner? Can you help me out here?"
You three all perk up and rush over to the Hyperdrive Relay.
"There's a radiation leak in the multi-spacial impulse conduit."
"We need to rewind the Repulse wires so that the ventral transdimensional field doesn't shatter around the ship."
"Before that, You need to decouple the Griswold EPS junction. We don't want a major System malfunction right after jumping, do we?"
"Holy shit, you two. Don't jump the gun. We need to ionize the nucleonic plasma splitter first!"
Hold on. I'm detecting an anomaly in the power output of the in the Hyperspace Drives vortex manipulator. That's a problem!"
"Simple, we need to-"
"All right enough. We need to get our Pilot to the Bridge so that he can see what needs to be done."
You blush in embarrassment and then head out, waving bye to your parents. The Captian chuckles as you two walk to the Bridge. He opens the door and shows you the Bridge.
"Welcome.... To the Damascus Bridge."
You smile as you see all the tech around. Computers, people at the chairs, amazing looking controls.
"..... I'm in heaven."
"Hold on. We need to get some things done first."
You look back at him and he pressed a Button on the Captians chair and smiles.

As the Ship goes on a slow and steady path, You and your family all work on the Hyperspace Drive, fixing it with relative ease. Though you can't say that you didn't want to experiment upon it, wanting to see if you can boost the Hyperspace travel range. Zadornov kept your hands off of it as he plugs it right into the Ship's Booster Drive.
The part whirs to life, the cylinder whirring and spinning rapidly, the engines growling happily as it does. With a smile, the old Russian sits in his chair and activates the Galaxy Map, the Star System showing up as it does.
"Here we are! The map of the entire Galaxy! Though someday, I wish to see the entire universe. But, here are some of the places we can reach right now."
The Map charts three possible areas the Damascus can go to.
The first was the Theta Aradin System, Vulkit owned Space. Though, Heavy Combat between them and the Eopsian Forces has been reported in the area, but in it are minimal mining areas. But then, there's the off chance on vast amounts of abandoned weapon facilities, just BEGGING to be found and recovered. Along with high amounts of Combat.
The second is the Azara System, Strukk controlled space. These hulking Squid Fuckers have nothing but scrapped tech and Mining tools, though they have kept it from seeing major Combat, so they have a fair amount of Mining areas, as well as Tech. But you sigh as you hear that.
The last one is the least known about System, the XSW-52 System. Unnamed and uncharted. Which means.... Vast materials, and little to no chance of Research ideas.
"We're going to the XSW-52 System. Rich on supplies and might thriving undiscovered life."
The old Russian smirks.
"XSW it is. Comrades, turn on the intercoms so the passengers know that the Warp system will initiate in three minutes."
"Aye sir."
He presses a button on the intercom and clears his throat.
"Hello fellow survivors. This is the captain of the Damascus speaking. The Drive System has been repaired and is raring to go. We shall be warping in three minutes."
Everyone looks up in surprise and rush to hold on to something just in case. The old Soldier laughs as he then gets ready for the Warp.
"Warp Drive Capacitor is at 100% functionality. Energy fluctuations normal. Warping in 3......2........1......."
You take a seat.
"Warp!!"
A warp bubble surrounds the starship, which protects the ship and everyone inside as space and time distorts around you and you're blasted through the Solar System.
"Eat your heart out Einstein!!!"
It takes a few minutes, but then you see the empty space in front of you.
You're all immediately met by an energetic world. The first thing you see is your breath in the air, but the chilling presence soon chills you to your core. It's a system beyond anything you had imagined. There's beauty in every corner, calm in every moment.
The conditions in this System are excellent and it is all yours to explore. This place is certainly unwelcoming, but with so much to discover you can't help but explore.
Surprisingly, the Sun in this System is.... Almost non-existent.
"There is nothing here. Just us, the system, and our wits. Amazing."
