The Gathering

"The Khrysis project has been in the works for over a hundred years.  Our teams have been researching the most optimal planets for colonization, planets like our own.  Our probes have found a suitable planet in the Khrysis System in the sector of Crest we have named Kytreon.  Pollution and war has torn this land apart, the air is toxic, the water is poison, the earth is barren, people are dying as their biological information is torn apart at a cellular level.  We all expected this but no one knew how fast earth's devastation would take place.  Anyone who is uninfected find a way to Sydney.  We will be escorting a colonization party to Kytreon with all of the necessary supplies to set up a city.  We have fully trained military operatives specially trained to handle the spacecraft, fighters for defense, and specially selection Securion personnel for internal security.
Xavior Grey
Head of Operations"    

This message was broadcast across earth's surface to any surviving shortly before earth went dark.  Those who did arrive in Sydney Australia were put through extensive medical testing to ensure the individuals boarding the ships were not infected with the biological weapon that was ravaging the earth.  Riots broke out in the medical facilities as people were determined to be infected and turned away.  Special ops militants as headed the diffusion of these riots with the aide of Securion Personnel.  The number of people arriving slowly dwindled and ceased. Xavior Grey waited fifteen days after the last survivor was screened before launching the ships for the Khrysis System.  A system he would never see as he passed away only three days after their departure from earth from unknown causes.

As the day arrived for departure, the Securion forces broke off from the rest of the security keeping the riots at bay and got ready to depart. Securion took their positions in the ship as a security force while the ships were in transit and once they landed their mission was to provide protection to the fledgling settlement from wildlife and perhaps pirates. They were above all a defensive force.

A group of five specialists came aboard shortly after, they were all friends from college, and once they heard about this colony program they got in touch with one another and decided that their skills would be invaluable to the fledgling colony.Kerri Dixon and Josiah Work were engineers that work with John Villagra who is a Architect. Tiana Copeland is a Botanist that works alongside the Zoologist Olivia Durkin.

Cole Hunter, Timothy Hawkins, Jesse Winters,and Hyaku Shinji
These 4 unlikely friends, happened upon themselves while making their way from their respective destroyed lives. Cole happened upon Timothy first and soon after found Jesse and Hyaku making a meager existence picking off roving bands of bandits. Cole was able to organize them enough to make it to the Novalyse colony ship sit. And after some proving of their skills they were allowed in.

In the weeks approaching the launch date, the criminals took their chance in plotting an escape from their prison. Val Chambers, who was not in prison, was instrumental to this using her knowledge of security systems. Val, Hector, Gregor, and Brook all took off for Australia as soon as they could. They were caught in the midst of riots and scrambling evacuations. They managed to find a vacant house to wait in, as none of them wanted to be caught attempting to enter the ships.

Meanwhile the government workers all had their reasons for being present. Leo Hughes lived in Australia. Ami Kono and Jericho Stone were both positioned there to help in crowd control. Orion was asked to aid the boarding of important officials. Each worker was taking on their duties for a few days until the chaos spread, and they decided it was their time to board.

Fate had it that these four individuals, while heading to the ships, ended up at the center of a massive violent riot near a government facility. They were forced to take shelter in the same vacant house as the criminals. The unlikely team formed an alliance. The criminals needed entry to the ships, and the others needed help getting there without being overrun. A ninth party member joined them as well, mostly on accident. There was an service robot in the house called AR-BOT23. It lived there with it's previous owner until he recently took his life. The robot decided its best course of action was to go with them to help out.

Once formed, the team took no time at all in setting out to the ships. They worked efficiently and made it safely to one of the ships. Each one was screened, tested, and very much relieved.
