The human race is triumphant. After succesfuly developing space travel, they swarmed around the galaxy, colonising dozens of worlds. In doing so, they found numerous signs of alien civilisations: odd bits of technology, ruined desert cities of gold filagree and glowing blue light, abandoned scapyards... but no life. But soon enough, following the trail across the galaxy, they found them: the Enkari. Highly advanced lifeforms, they were all but extinct when the humans found them, claimed by a deadly disease. They bequeathed their knowledge to the humans, in the form of a datacrystal, hundreds of miles high. The humans brought the crystal to earth, where the scientists eagerly awaited a chance to experiment with the advanced technology. However, on the way to earth, a rogue military general, Amadeus Sungh, attacked the convoy with a small fleet, seizing the crystal. The rest of the humans counterattacked, and in the process, the vast crystal was lost, accidently blown apart by weapons fire. Only a few shards remained, and war broke out among the humans, fighting for the knowledge contained within...
Tuth Choss, Haron System
You wake up, and find yourself lying on a table. The room is dark, but you can make out banks of surgical equipment. You clutch your head, trying to remember something, anything before this room. Nothing, nothing apart from your name. You sit up, and climb off the bed. You hear a clanking noise, and stare in horror at your body. Half of it seems to have been encased in some sort of golden armor, with glowing blue cables snaking in and out of your skin. Twin golden gauntlets are affixed to your hands, and metallic armor covers your torso. Armor covers the lower half of your legs, and on your chest you see a green crystal affixed to the armor. Blue cables connect to this, and it glows eerily. Despite the armor, you can move freely. In fact, you feel light and flexible. Suddenly, the floor shakes and there is an enormous BOOM. You are knocked off your feet, but get back up again and rush to the door. It opens, and you stumble into a large hall, filled with people running away. You stare out of a window, and see tanks and soldiers charging towards the base...

*shrug* Just didn't want her to die. I'll shoot the creature with my EM Rifle.
OOC: Hey...I have a few ideas for Cyan's skill. Bear with me here... Meld: Change your own matter at will(the ability to change into different materials, like water or air). Internal: The ability to use your powers through materials like flesh, wood, and concrete. Matter Knitting: Put an object or even organism back together if it's crumbling, injured, or something similar.
And for me: Telepathy: Read someone's mind, put a suggestion in there(not mind control because it's more subtle), or communicate with them(for example, if they speak another language). Also; can detect lies. Replaces Mind Read.
Well duh. If you can lift... 500kg, then you can lift yourself. Anyway, you enter the elevator, but there's a guard in their. He raises his rifle and shoots you. He is the only one who can operate the elevator. What do you do?

With a dying roar that sets your teeth on edge, the great beast collapses. The ticking noise fades to nothing. You pick up Zee and walk out of the building. Before you walk out, you see two devices shaped like crescents, with a bundle of circuitry attached. You put it on, and a after a hum, your appearance changes to that of a nondescript human. You put one on Zee too, and you carry her along the road. You find an abandoned truck, and manage to start it, barreling along the dusty road. Eventually, you arrive at a huge city. 'Mar Sara - Spaceport' proclaims a sign. What do you do?

You head into the town. It's a small place, built around the spaceportat it's center. The spaceport is a huge dome of white metal, with openings on either side. Shuttles and transports soar out, and accelerate to hyperspace after a few miles, leaving a corona of blurry light behind them. An armoured car approaches you, and three soldiers jump out, levelling their rifles at you. "You're under arrest for kidnap! Put the girl down, and lie on your front with your hands where we can see them!" There's no way you can fight off all of them carrying Zee. There are more soldiers approaching, all heavily armoured. What do you do?
He stays quiet for a few seconds more, and you inch the syringe towards his arm. Sweat breaks out along his forehead, and he begins to shake. Finally he stammers, "P-Please! Don't do that! I'll let you up!" He taps a code into a touch screen, and the elevator flies up the shaft. With a quiet ping, the doors open. You kick the guard out, and step out into a room. The room is... empty. You turn to the guard, but he's vanished. You hear a quiet chuckle. "No one messes with me, motherf***er" Spinning round, you see a flicker of light dancing around. It grows, taking the shape of the guard. He's clad in a golden armor that's clunkier and more mechanical looking than yours. Energy courses through his heavy gauntlets, and then he's gone, reappearing at the other end of the room. Before you can do anything, a bolt of lightning smashes you in the chest, knocking you out. When you wake up, the man is gone. Feeling sore but not particularly hurt, you trudge into the elevator. When you get to the floor where you were, you find a path of total devastation, with melted and burnt wreckage everywhere. Corpses litter the ground, but one guard is still alive. "Where did he go?" you yell at him. "Sector X... he says... he wants what's his..." Do you follow the psychic, help the guard, or run to the shuttle bay?
"Get out of here. I'll handle this." you say to him. He gets up and limps towards the shuttlebay. You follow the trail of destruction down to the depths of the facility. A huge durasteel door, two metres thick, has been torn through like wet paper. You step through them, and into a huge cavern, hudreds of metres long. Most of it is filled with a gigantic crystal, which glows with a soft blue light. At the base of it, however, a bright light burns into your retinas. The psychic is standing there, tendrils of glowing light flowing from him to the crystal. You walk up to him, and his head jerks towards you. "So...so many colours..." he moans."So beautiful... so bright..." His eyes are filled with the glow of the crystal, and his movements are like a puppets, jerking and imprecise. "No!" he screams, "Don't go! Don't let the colours leave! The dark! So black, so cold!" His voice changes, becoming deeper and stranger and immesurably old. "They are coming. They are coming, and the galaxy will burn when they come. Run. Run while you still can." His movements cease, and fire surges through him, devouring his body, and melting the golden armour into a puddle on the floor. All that's left is a crystal, glowing brightly. The great crystal's glow fades, and cracks scribble up it's surface. With a sigh, it collapses into dust. What do you do?
[Yowch. That means... that this RPG will dry up. Unless... Do you know anyone who's decent at playing RPGs who'd like this? I could invite them.]
Anyway, you throw a shruiken at the crystal, but it passes right through, and alternately freezes and melts into a puddle. Bear in mind these thing have a melting point if 10,000 degrees Celsius. Confused, you try to pick it up. It comes easily into your hand. Shrugging, you decide to keep it, and head out of the cave. The facility is heavily damaged, and people are running for the shuttle bay. You manage to get their before them, and find the guard you helped earlier powering up one. "Hop in! Quick!" he yells at you. What do you do?
