Xigor

 * Writer: Wormulon.
 * Character: Xigor.

Long Sleep
Xigor, on board his transport woke from a long cryogenic sleep. Despite the DCP's advanced technology, the DCP had yet to advance into hyperspatial travel (not be confused with normal hyperspace). He had crossed several million light years to the Tigris Galaxies DCP Dimensional Gate, which allows travel to the far off Galaxon galaxy, on the edge of explored space, space exploration, still a very important factor. The journey had better be well worth the while... In his long sleep, he had many dreams, very surreal, almost predicting the future. But he was a scientist, he had to think rationally. Cyogenic sleep was important, certain phenomena this far into subspace levels, the "bulk" between universes, could send a concious being mad. As he began to wake, he could hear a soft whirring sound as the machine "defrosted him", the first rays of artificial light enter his eyes, down through his ocular stalks, into his brain. His numb body soon began to sense heat and touch. However, he felt groggy.

But soon, automatically, his shuttle dropped into the universe, and the station, glinting in the sun's light, came into view, a green blue and golden star. It split into two, as it exists as a pair, Halcyon 1 and 2. Soon features could be seen. As he arrived at the docking bay, his ship was scanned and instantly recognised. Tractor beams pulled him through, where he was greeted by several officials, who proceeded to direct him around the massive station, still undergoing construction. He was advised to stay away from some decks, which still had no life support.

First assigment
The Grimbolsaurians work efficiently, and as soon as Xigor had unpacked into his new home apartment, he didn't give himself much time for seetleing down. However, he had not eaten for a long time, and hungry Grimbolsaurians are not happy ones. He decided to walk down through the station, and into the O'Niel cylinder itself. As he stood over a tall wall, he looked down below and could see miles of land, divided into various sections. In a guidebook he had been supplied with, Vito's bar sounded like it might the right place. More of a bar, it still served food. Xigor had a dislike for replicated food, and preffered it grown.

After some refrshment, he travelled to the Department of Scientific Research, an important part of the ship. Apparently, there were some problems with environmental control in decks C5 to D6. These were caused by glitches in the computer systems, which were being effected by something unknown, he would have to use his knowledge to find out.

Tazch'xatri

 * Writer: The Randomness
 * Character: Tazch'xatri

Hidden Objectives
A Salsetthe Cruiser disengaged its quantum slipstream drive and docked with the new Station Halcyon, which Salsetthe Intelligence referred to as Project 9147a in its closest approximation in English. A single figure walked into the docking ring, and paused briefly, analysing the inside of the station, before moving on. The individual was Tazch'xatri, who was going to be the chief of security for the station. After walking a short distance to his office, Tazch'xatri activated the small computer that was in the room, attached a small device to it, and contacted Salsetthe Intelligence. After a couple minutes, the conversation ended.

Avexia

 * Writer: Irskaad
 * Character: Diplomat Trainee Avexia

Arrival
"Now, go west into the Galaxon Galaxy. Once you're there, use your locators to find Station Halcyon. And don't worry, we'll be fine, the Xhoddie invasion may have hurt us, but we're still ok." Said Diplomacy Teacher Taxia to DT Avexia. Avexia says she found the station, and is now preparing to enter it. Only problem - she doesn't know how to land a ship. Her teacher gave her the instructions, and she succeeds in landing the ship, though she did it horizontally and not vertically. "So this is Station Halcyon... Where's the crew? I want to see them. I think their empires might help us with the Xhoddies..." said Avexia upon arrival.

As she was looking for crew nembers to talk to, she noticed 3 muggers, who were threatening her, and she said "Hello! I am from the Asgord Empire, want to be my friends?" They threatened her, but she chuckled at all of their threats, as she thought they were kidding. When one mugger drew a knife from his pocket, Ri'Kar'D went into action, eventually wounding one of the muggers, thus, they ran off. Avexia was very confused.

"What just happened, where did they go?" Said Avexia in confusion, until Ri'Kar'D appeared. She asked where did they go, and he then gave her a Locator beacon, so if they came back, she could call Ri'Kar'D, since "he wanted to befriend him too." She then called Taxia, her teacher. "What species is he from?" Taxia replied: "He is a Fordanta, an ally of the Iteok. if you see him again, ask him for help with our invasions." Avexia replied ok, and tried to find someone who could help her find where she would stay...

Ri'Kar'D

 * Writer: Spriggs077
 * Character: Ri'So'Va Commander Ri'Kar'D

New Sheriff in Town
"Ri'Kar'D," on of the Grand Councillors began, "You and your kin have been requested to help guard Station Halcyon in the Galaxon Galaxy. As a defender of order, it is your duty to comply." Ri'Kar'D thought for a moment, before kneeling. "It will be as you command. My Kin-group will make final preparations and then depart." Ri'Kar'D knew that his men were already prepared to depart, so when he stood he activated his radio. "My Kin, the time is now. Commence phasing sequence." Within moments of his order being given, an azure ball of light formed around Ri'Kar'D, as his Void Key dematerialized his body and transported it to Station Halcyon. Upon his arrival, the first sign of life was the Asgord trainee Avexia. Ri'Kar'D quickly accessed his helmet-computer's database for information about the Asgord. The first thing that came up was Ally Crazy.

One quick look at Avexia proved that. She was trying to befriend three workers who were mugging her. Ri'Kar'D watched in amusement as Avexia tried to sweet-talk the three, while they threatened to punch her. Eventually, the leader got bored, and drew a knife. In that moment, Ri'Kar'D made his decision. The air shimmered as he activated his stealth field. The crewman with the knife made to lunge at Avexia, but his hand was caught in mid-air. Looking around for what had held him up, he froze as Ri'Kar'D materialised in front of him, a huge taloned hand wrapped tightly around the crewman's wrist. A deft flick, and Ri'Kar'D sent the mugger flying a few metres back, while he primed his pulse pistol. That was all the warning the other two needed, who ran off, picking up their wounded friend and vanishing from sight.

Avexia was confused by all this, since her three new 'friends' had run off, replaced by a much taller, more serious looking 'friend.' When she asked Ri'Kar'D about the three, he gave her a locator beacon and told her that if the three friends came back, she should call him immediately, since he 'wanted to be their friends too.' Avexia didn't understand the hidden meaning of this, so she skipped off happily, while Ri'Kar'D summoned his men to him. He ordered them to scout the area, while he followed a map in his helmet computer to the Fordanta's habitat.

Vito

 * Writer: Lucario of the Gods
 * Character: Vito Nelph

Shots
"Vito Nelph" poured a glass of red alcohol into a glass. Vito has been working at Station Halycon for a year now, working as the main bar owner. Vito has had no trouble in this bar for the time he was here. Until now, when three shady-looking guys walked into his bar. They were all muttering and grunting, the way gangsters usually do to Vito. The three walked up to Vito. "Hey, shorty." called one of the guys. Vito only glanced at the characters. "I said, hey shorty." said the guy again. Vito then turned to them. "Look, I don't want no trouble. If you call me by my real name, I'd be happy to serve you..." but Vito stopped his sentence when one of them got out a knife. The three guys chuckled. "...a drink." sighed Vito. "We don't want a drink, shorty. We want your dough." said the guy. Vito looked down and chuckled. He then looked up at the guys.

At that moment, Vito grabbed a bottle of dark blue liquid and smashed it against his counter. The glass bottle smashed, spilling the contents. Vito was using the broken glass as a weapon. "Sling your hook, matie, before I trounce ya." threatened Vito. The guy carrying the knife laughed and took a lunge at Vito. However, Vito stepped to the side and grabbed the guy's arm. He jerked it towards him, with the guy's face being in range of Vito's bottle. The guy was stunned as he saw the shining sharp edges of the broken bottle. "Now get outta my pub!" exclaimed Vito, letting go of the guy's arm. The three guys took a few steps back, watching Vito carefully. Vito then placed the bottle in a bin and took out a sharp knife. The three guys turned and ran outside. Vito used the knife to cut a rectangular piece of ice.

Vito sighed as he saw several security guards enter the pub. "Security guards..." said Vito sadly "...they never arrive when you want them to." Vito then placed the chopped ice into a liquidiser, turning it into a cold drink. He placed the drink on the counter before taking another sip out of his glass. The security guards came up to Vito. "Excuse me, did you see where..." but the security guard was cut short. "They're not here." said Vito. The guards walked away. Vito sighed again before swallowing the contents of his glass and began taking orders again.

H'lera

 * Creator:Jovar1
 * Character:H'lera

Same old, same old
"Mskin hrl masi hurgla!" screamed an alien, trying to relay his message to a fellow Sylit. "Sorry, sir, I REALLY do not know what you are trying to say," the Sylit replied. Exasperated, the alien continued to scream, "Mskin hrl masi hurgla!" Then out of nowhere, a female Jovar, dressed in purple, revealed herself from one of the blast doors. "He's saying 'I found your wallet'," she said. "Ah, thank you!" the Sylit replied, and he took his wallet from the alien, and walked off.

H'lera sighed, and walked off down the hall. She went to her admission desk, and sat down on the Jovar's specially-made chair. She began to frown suddenly, and soon she was thinking about her old home. How she missed all of her friends and family, the beautiful green grass and trees, the blue sky and lovely white, fluffy clouds. The artificial sky of the station did not satisfy H'lera. It never did. She sighed again, and a small tear ran down her cheek.

Then another Jovar walked up to her desk. "Hey, H'lera," he said to her. "Hi, Krellar," she said back. "You're looking good today. Why are you so gloomy?" he asked. "Well", she replied, "frankly I miss Earth. I was born there, raised there. Then suddenly the government that can't even control its own senators and banks ordered me to go th Halcyon. Not that it' a bad thing, to say the least. But I'm homesick. I want to go back to Earth. maybe visit Jora and Osion on the way home, perhaps?" Krellar smiled, and told her, "Honey, if you're asking me if I want to go with you, then you already know my answer." He winked at her, and then gave her a small kiss on her cheek. "Love you," he said, and he walked off to go to his job on the station.

And for once, she smiled. "Love you too."
