Cry Havoc and Let Loose the Birds of War!
Beta-Rann 7 was one of several Rannian colony worlds, primarily noted for being a source of crystals that could be used in the manufacturing of zeta beam technology. It was a hard place, and it produced a hard people. They'd had to fight against the elements and the native creatures for what was theirs, and even against pirates and other scourges of the spaceways a time or two. Once, its rough riding sheriffs even fought side-by-side with Adam Strange himself.

The years have been kind to Rann, on the whole. The wars with Thanagar were long over, and Rann had resumed its rightful place in the galaxy. And what was good for Rann was good for Beta-Rann 7.

Unfortunately, today was not going to be good for Beta-Rann 7. The Thanagarian ships had appeared out of nowhere, slipping past their defenses with surprising ease.

Hundreds died in the initial bombardment. And then the troops went in.

There was just enough time to send a distress call.

	When the distress call comes through, Alerron is among the first people on the bridge, having been unable to sleep. "What is the issue?" he asks the yeoman. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	"It's a distress call, sir," the yeoman said. "From... Beta-Rann 7. Patching it through now..." ...Thanagarian Warships. Came out of nowhere... terrible violence... (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Aleea arrived on the bridge in time to catch the end of that and to see the display indicating the point of origin. "That's a Rannian colony," she said. "We have to help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Mar'i arrived at the same time as Aleea. "Then we will help them...right?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I say we do," Cyrus says. He is buttoning up a shirt as he comes onto the command deck. It's on the way to the he;lm and with his shirt still open his pale skin and implants stand out in the light. "I'll just go re-leave Mr Chambers. I can tap into the Normandy and see if I can buffer us a clearer message." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"We can attempt to stop the assault, but perhaps we should try to acquire more information on the situation before heading ourselves into a bloodbath. Do the Rannians and Thanagarians have a long, violent history?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Cyrus, get us where we need to go, please. We will move in once we are in orbit and deal with the Thanagarians. From what I know of them, they are a war-like people with no sense of propriety, but I have not met one, in truth." Alerron says.

"And these are Aleea's people that they are attacking. We should aid them. Aleea, how familiar are you with this colony?" Alerron asks.

	"They're not all bad," Aleea said. "A couple of my best friends are part Thanagarian." She nodded though. "But there's some bad history. Nothing recent... but after what happened on Earth, not much surprises me." "It's... where they mine crystals for Zeta Beam production. I've there a few times." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	actionlad 2011-04-08 12:49 pm UTC (link)
	"Right. I'll get on it." He moves to start getting them what they need. His implants hum with delight as they enjoy linking up with the Normandy. He doesn't mind that. He likes this ship. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	With Aleea's confirmation that there was history between the two peoples Katima nodded. It was all the information she needed in terms of understanding the underlying emotions. "What happened on Earth?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rannsofaraway 2011-04-10 10:40 pm UTC (link)
	"Nothing good. This nutjob, Tharok, took control, invaded Earth, captured my friend Nicolette Hall... Big mess," Aleea explained. "The Justice Society helped fight them off, but for a while, it didn't look like a sure thing. No idea what would send them after a Rannian world now though..." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	somebodysave_me 2011-04-13 07:26 am UTC (link)
	"Perhaps they think the Rannians will not fight nearly as hard as Earth? We will do what we must to stop them." Alerron says. "Aleea, how do you wish to handle this?" Alerron asks. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rannsofaraway 2011-04-13 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	"We need to slip in, hit them where we can. Rann's technology is fairly advanced, but our spacescraft are fairly primitive. With the Zeta Beam, we've never needed to develop it as much," Aleea said. "Thanagar had, at least, one of the most advanced militarys in the galaxy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"So, our work will be cut out for us, then. Very well. Once we arrive, I will lead the offensive. I can survive in space." Alerron says. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	compassionate 2011-04-23 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	"I will go beside you as I too can survive in space." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I will go with you as well, as I also can survive in space," Mar'i said. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'll take care of the cyber warfare," Cyrus offers. He blinked then shrugged looking down towards his station. "My implants give me an advantage." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	rannsofaraway 2011-05-12 12:55 am UTC (link)
	"My suit protects me in space, but I'm probably not fit to fight out there," Aleea said. "Once we get there, I'll Zeta Beam down." And away they went. (Reply to this)(Parent)
