Expedition 3.5 Renegade Everett, a natural born adventurer. Then he was just a child pretending to be an astronaut with his friends, now he is the captain of The Smoke, a rocket ship destined to land on Mars. After Captain John Black and his crew disappeared on the third expedition to Mars, a new and secret mission was sent out to investigate their disappearances. Welcome to Expedition 3.5. The Smoke left from an isolated desert in New Mexico on May 17th, 2000. There were no hugs or goodbyes. Specialists from every field you could think of-psychology, geography, agriculture, biology, engineering-were present on the ship to make up a crew of fourteen men. The crew was given no choice, either go on the mission or be killed so the …show more content…
A small woman stepped inside, “Sorry Captain,” she cringed as he groaned. Renegade was a tad bit annoyed, his serenity had been interrupted and unfortunately, the pointless scenarios he was playing in his head had vanished. “What is it?” he mumbled. The woman straightened her posture as she leaned against the chrome doorway, “Um well we’ll be landing soon. Your presence has been requested in the command room.” Notes of excitement could be detected in her voice and it was quite obvious that she was trying to conceal them. “Thank you Lux, let them know I’ll be there in a minute.” As Renegade walked into the command room it was buzzing with activity, almost like what he imagined the inside of a brain to be like. Men with clipboards rushed back and forth from the room like nerves, connecting the rest of the body with the newly discovered information and eliciting excitement. Through the enormous glass window on the bow of the ship Renegade could make out Mars, they would be arriving in minutes. The rocket landed on Mars’ surface in the middle of the night so, Renegade ordered the crew to stay on board until morning. He was back in his cabin, once again staring out the window. The rocket had a few exterior lights, and they shined upon the red rock ground of the planet. From what Renegade could see it looked as if the martians, or whatever creature lived here, had left in a hurry. There were an assortment of items askew

Hello, I am Sergeant Tom Ordway,one of the crew in the Corps of Discovery. I was born in Hebron,New Hampshire, into a family of ten siblings.

ing the Philippine-American war, the Filipino Insurrectos quickly realized they were outgunned and outmanned by the well-trained and equipped US soldiers. Realizing that defeat in a conventional war was imminent, these revolutionary fighters used their local roots and knowledge of the local geography to their advantage, waging a guerilla war and abusing hit-and-run tactics to make a dent in the superior American force. These tactics worked fairly well for the Insurrectos, but inspired a deep hatred of the Filipino people from the eyes of the American soldiers. Civilized nations would lock horns through conventional war, but only savages like the Filipinos would dare resort to cowardly guerilla tactics. The Philippine-American war became a racial
Shipwrecked, Thomas Dudley and Edward Stephens survived 24 days roaming the sea but during their ordeal they chose to sacrifice a young teenager, Richard Parker, in order to complete this feat. Upon being introduced back into society, Dudley and Stephens were called before a court due to the charges of murder they were facing as a result of their decision to consume Richard. Dudley and Stephens were eventually convicted of murder on December 9th, 1884; a controversial conclusion to arrive at but one I fully agree with (“Survival on a Lifeboat” 362). The indictment of murder was correctly issued in this case due to the fact that Dudley and Stephens were documented as having sacrificed the boy without any prior consultation. These two men should

Blue Team slowly proceeded towards the epicenter of the radiation spike. Sam had taken point, John was taking up the rear and I was in the middle collecting any tactical data I could. I had even noticed when we had reached the final pressure door. They were immense, and the size of the ship helped. The roof was three meters high, it made us feel small even though we were far from the shortest people alive. The air was thick and oily, I could taste it even through my suits air filters. The walls were a metallic purple that expanded towards the middle. I walked towards the control panel, glowing a luminous purple that matched the walls and ceiling. It was adorned with bright runic symbols, they looked like they were some form of hieroglyphics.

What I’m going to do is take down Cerberus, you’ve heard of them right? Smart cookie like you must have!” Stephanie said, throwing a compliment into the mix as if she wanted to try and ease Vita into the ease of what they were going to be doing. Continuing on, Stephanie reached over and placed a hand on Vita’s long, slim and bony arm, a reassuring rub against it while continuing. Stephanie tapped a button on the padd and brought up the first real search location the two would need to go through. “So, me and you are going to head to the markets and see if we can find some of the tracker locations. We shouldn’t need any guns for that. If we do run into trouble though…” Stephanie took a seat back and her bright brown eyes flashed with blue and her whole body shimmered in the biotic light as if to reassure the turian woman. “You know what Vita, I think me and you are going to be an awesome team together.” Stephanie said with a smile, her teeth and eyes both shining so brightly underneath the flashing lights of the hip nightclub. Placing an arm on the bar to the left of them, Stephanie took another swig of her booze before casting a look over her shoulder at her gear. Turning back to face Vita, Stephanie took her second chance after first noting Vita inside of the

The large grey button on the control panel caught her eye. It was the only way to communicate with NASA. Raegan quickly put her hand on the button and pressed down. Despite the fact that the signal only took a matter of seconds to send, she held her breath that felt like an eternity. Raegan dared to open her eyes, and when she did her heart stopped. She saw the only two words that would prevent her from getting home, ‘No Signal’.
