Thread: Planet of the Dead (Aisha & CrimsonMaster)

In 1967 a Project called Icarus was conducted at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This project was to design ways to deflect a any asteroid which could wipe out life on Earth. Icarus evolved into a number of other projects over the years. One such project called for the construction of a spaceship armed with high tech directed energy weapons. In 2010 NASA National Aeronautics and Space Administration identified an asteroid almost as large as the one which wiped out the dinosaurs. This asteroid which was called 24 Sierra had a trajectorie targeting Earth. A direct hit was predicted for early in 2014. This impact would cause the annihilation of mankind. A plan was formed to intercept the asteroid while still well away from Earth. The United States along with other nations built the most advanced spaceship known to man in 2011. They used technology taken from several crashed alien space crafts to build this technical wonder. It was housed in an underground bunker at the super secret military base called Area 51. The plan was to use this ship if an asteroid, or other foreign body ever threatened Earth. This project was code named Vanguard. The ship it's self was given the name Freedom. It would take the Freedom six months to reach 24 Sierra which would be passing near Jupiter when they arrived. The mission orders were to destroy or deflect 24 Sierra. A search was quickly started to find those brave souls who would undertake this mission. It was decided that a crew of 5 would be needed to man the Freedom. The first to be picked was Aisha Lee from France. Aisha's parents designed the Freedom and she knew every inch of the ship. She would server as Flight Engineer on the mission. The second pick came from Japan. May Toda a highly skilled pilot from the Japanese Air Force was that pick. She was chosen as co pilot of the Freedom and would server as it's First Officer. The next choice was the man who created the directed energy weapons for the Freedom. A 28 year old brilliant British scientist named Alistair Harding. Everything was average about Alistair, but his mind. Alistair stood 5'8 and weighted 140 lbs. His hair is red, his eyes green, his skin.....fair. Alistair was also an Astrophysicist and would server as both Science Officer and Weapons Officer. The fourth pick was Lieutenant Commander Doctor Carl Monroe Caucasian of the United States Navy. He would serve as the Medical Officer for the trip into space. Doctor Monroe was the oldest member of the crew. The 43 year old stood 5'9, weighted 153 lbs. His eyes were brown, his hair was also brown with just touches of grey along the sides. The last member of the crew was the man who would Command pilot the mission. Major Mathew Tanner Caucasian of the United States Air Force was picked for this job. The 36 year old air force pilot would be the only member of the crew who had been in space. Matt commanded the last space shuttle mission ever flown. He had also flown every aircraft the air force had. Matt flew combat mission during the second Gulf War before going into space. He stood 6'1, weighted 195 lbs, had dark hair and deep blue eyes. The team was gathered and trained within a few months. Freedom was launched into space in late 2012 from Area 51. They would live together on the ship for the next year. They would return to Earth after 24 Sierra was dealt with. It would be well into 2013 when the ship made it home. Freedom had living quarters for each member of the crew. These quarters were about the size of a prison cell on Earth. There was a small bed, a desk, a waste disposal unit and entertainment center. The ship featured a dinning area where the crew would eat their meals. These meals were ready made since the ship had no galley. There was a full medical bay where Doctor Monroe would care for the needs of the crew. He would also do complete physicals during the trip. This was to see how living in space affected the human body. The command center or bridge is where most of the crew worked. Someone was always on duty in this area keeping an eye out for trouble. Having 3 men living so closely with 2 pretty women made for a lot of sexual tension. The guys were all attracted to the lovely Asian girls. Matt Alistair both envied Doctor Monroe because at least he got to see May Aisha naked during their physicals. During the trip the crew had full freedom of movement around their ship. An artificial gravity device was built into the ship which allowed them to move and do whatever they wanted. The trip went as planned. The freedom encountered 24 Sierra when and where it was scheduled too. Using the directed energy weapons, Alistair was able to destroy most of the asteroid. What was left was sent towards Jupiter where it would be no more trouble. A message was sent to Earth saying that the mission was a success. Matt set a course for home and the crew began to celebrate. It would be hours before May realized that no one on Earth had sent a message back to them. In fact all messages from Earth had stopped. Alistair thought that solar flares could be the reason for a communication blackout. He was sure that communications would return in time. The return passed by quickly and soon Freedom was approaching Earth. For days they had been calling on all frequencies with no reply. They tried country after country, but there didn't seem to be anyone listening. Everyone knew that something was wrong even though the planet looked normal. There were no outward signs that something had happened. Radiation levels were normal, everything appeared to be alright. Still no one at Houston control, or anywhere else was on the air. Alistair knew they should be able to pick up radio tv signals from the planet, but even those were silent.
