Adventure: This Instinct, absorbed, held, and used through every living creature that has ever touched this Earth or smelled its air, comes from the nature and will of us. It leads to discoveries, that takes the knowledge bestowed upon us, and makes it a home for these new thoughts and ideas that when we were created, we as a whole would have never dreamed about. Exploration is its son, in which this element makes us test our boundaries, create wonderful, skillful concepts composed of our very own gifts, and gives us a home, just like we gave it. Together, we and this thing we call, 'Adventure' can create something, beyond belief, imagination, and the realm of possibility. Lo, with it we have compromised much and completed more, but out there, a place which hold the label of 'open', and 'free', could become more than a home, or a place of comfort, but a land, in which we live our lives with one another, in the slight balance of harmony. Possible it could be, if only my son, we take on this sense of adventure and use it at our will. For with it, the land given to us could be our own. A place where we discover, and explore, a place where we think, create and do. Harness it if you will, for you will meet me alongside you on your journey to reach this place that may not even exist. But when we reach it, it's up to you to decide if we have made it.
I want the world of Tolkien,
The message of Lewis;
The adventure of Jacques,
And the heart of Milne.
But I want the originality of me.

"The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater." ~J.R.R. Tolkien

Mhera

Overlord's Orders
Let me explain.

One of my compatriots, Plugg Firetail, had paid Wuggers a considerable amount to imprision us. Plugg said, before we were locked up, what he was planning on using the power of the station to destory you! Wafter we were locked up, I figured out the only way to get out was by destorying the main reactor. With the nifty glass window overlooking the reactor room, I was able to use by concealed pistol to destoryi it. However, Plugg had Wuggers by the throat and was threatening to kill him if we attacked thhe bridge. However, I had an idea and was ableto break in with out incident. But, LT purposely opened the airlock and forced Plugg to release Wuggers. When we tried to stop LT, he let Wuggers go out the airlock' before closing it. I´m sorry to say that we had o steal the shuttle to save our lives from the exploding station. It was Ash´s fault we crashed.Stepping forward one of the servants cautiously raised a hand.

"Uh your lordship we arrived at K7 very promptly, We met Wuggers who had a small force of security guards ready to imprison us. He later interrogated me and said he had received a payment and a tip that someone was going to betray you your lordship.

Well later Sage used a hidden pistol too  to help us escape, I was unable to tell them that Wuggers was on our side and they started shooting everything they could. Well then I made a distress call too you but instead we contacted a group of space flowers. I was going to hang up when Sage grabbed the communicator and started yelling insults at the flowers.

Well then they got angry and warped to us and attacked K7. I had never fought flowers before but those things can pack a punch. Well we were fighting for our lives when Plugg turned up holding Wuggers by the throat. I tried to save him but someone kicked me repeatedly and I fell accidently throwing Wuggers out the airlock.

I panicked then fought my way though a bunch of Poppies where I was hit. I later felt someone pick me up and carry me too the ship then I blacked out until we were teleported back here.
Allow me to explain, most gracious Overlord.

All that the others have already said is truth, but not the complete truth. LT left out the bit where after he accidentally contacted the space flowers, he began telling them the most egregious lies about how your operation is one of pure evil and your space station must be destroyed to prevent various evil things from happening evilly. Sage, enraged at LT's trickery, snatched the communicater from his hand and began hurling insults. When I tried to stop them, Sky tackled me and then sat on me, muttering something about how you must be prevented from carrying out your plans, oh Overlord. Struggling and unable to get up I called to James to help me, but he just leaned against the wall and ate a snickers bar, saying something about how he'll keep watch for the others. I tried calling for the guards, but Jukka suddenly appeared and gagged me. Forgive me for lacking sufficient strength to successfully resist, sir, but I did all I could do. It was only after the space flowers finally attacked that the others released me to fight. During the course of the battle Ash must have slipped off and caused the K7 to crash, just as Sage said.Overlord, Mhera hasn't told you the whole truth. I gagged her because I feared that if she alerted the guards, we'd be in even more trouble than we already were. But when the space flowers attacked, in the confusion I managed to push Skye off her so she was able to get up and fight.

During the fight I saw both Ash and LT slip away together toward the cockpit. However, being surrounded by various flowers and fighting for my life, I was unable to stop their evil plan.
Sir, I feel I should clarify that I had no knowledge of Jukka's intentions when she gagged me, nor did I claim to. Regarding her I merely stated what I observed.
   
In the midst of the accusations that had been flying from person to person like arrows, a certain servant had been unable to speak. When a momentary silence was just beginning to settle, Skyblade seized the opportunity. She stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the Overlord. When she looked up, her eyes were inquisitive and calm.

"Sir, I had none but the best intentions in mind. Please allow me to clarify this debacle.

Everything that the others say is true. However, some details were left untold. When we had just arrived at the station, I had to relieve myself. I was trying to find the restroom when I heard mumbled voices. Out of curiosity and concern, I followed them. I snuck a peek around the corner and saw Mhera, Sam, and James speaking. Neither of them saw me, for I glanced very stealthily and drew my head back. But I listened, for they were talking very suspiciously.

"So we are going to overthrow the Overlord Soren?" Sam said.

"Yes," said Mhera.

"Finally," added James, "I've always wanted to get rid of him."

"Let's do this soon," said Mhera.

"Agreed," said Sam.

Then they walked off.  I quickly went back to the group before they saw me. I wanted to warn the others, but Izeroth told me he didn't care, and the others weren't listening. Then, we were locked up.

And just to make it clear, I did not do anything to deliberately harm or try to harm you (such as killing or overthrowing you) before, during, or after this event. I had no part in the conspiracy or planning of it. I just listened to it going on and tried to do something smart about it.

When I saw Mhera going to the communicator, the conversation lit up in my head. What if she was going to do something bad? I sat on her to keep from moving, and said I would overthrow you to pretend to be on her side and gain her trust so I could buy time. After what I heard, I couldn't trust some of my fellow servants. I didn't mean any of that; I just needed so stall. When she yelled for James, I was even more worried because I knew he was part of the group plotting to overthrow you. Then, Jukka pushed me off even though I told her that she was planning to get rid of you.

Then, the space flower battle. I fought for my life. Sand failed to mention that the only reason he was knocked out is that he was doing the hokey pokey in the middle of battle, even though we all know that dancing actually enrages space flowers of all kinds. Don't ask me why he did this because I have no idea. I saved his life by pushing him out of the way of an attacking Poppy, but he was knocked unconscious because his dancing had already provoked other flowers. I fought them off and was extremely occupied by that. I was knocked out soon after, and I woke up here."

After this explanation, the servant stepped back. "Never did I mean any harm to you, Overlord. My heart is pure and my mind free of such corruption. I hope you make the right choice."

"Sky is correct in saying I was preforming the hokey pokey to anger the flowers. Since I was panicking at the time the first thing I thought of was having the flowers all attack me allowing the others to pick them off. By preforming the dance I might have saved their lived but then I got hit by one of the shots and I fell. Its thanks to Sky that I am still alive."OOC: I owe you! Smiley

IC: Sky nodded and smiled at her ally. "Sand is right. I understand. Also, he and Plugg were the only ones who listened to me when I was telling the others about the plot of Mhera, Sam, and James. He said, "You're right, Sky, we need to do something to stop their overthrowing" and Plugg said, "I agree. We need to stop them as soon as we can." Everyone else (Izeroth, Ash, Jukka, Sage) ignored my warnings and made it clear they didn't care what happened to you."

With all due respect, sah, I was unable to help and assist my compatriots because I had to keep the space station from crashing. I tried to the best of my ability, sir, and was about to safely land it on nearby moon when Jukka leaped onto me, shouting "Nooooo! We have to let the space station crash, it'll kill us all!" She had a sleeper hold on me and for the rest of the time I was inactive.Sir, I did indeed meet with Sam and James. They had approached me before the mission about overthrowing you, and even though the very idea is abominable to me I agreed to join them. You see, I wanted to know their plans so I could thwart them. As it turns out I had no need to, because after they had asked me to join them I asked Plugg for advice on what to do and he said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of this. Just continue to play along with them." I did and left the matter in his hands. Unfortunately I had no idea that his solution was to get us all imprisoned, but it did indeed stop Sam and James' original  plan.
James rolled his eyes. ""Oooh, look at me, my heart is pure from all corruption, I never do anything wrong." Pffft. Give me a break! I'll tell you the real story about what happened, without gross misinterpretations of the facts like what these kids would have you believe."

"When we were on our way to the station, I was going through the cargo room as a part of our assigned duties on our ship. I happened to notice a big box sitting in the corner. It had this label on it: "WARNING. DO NOT OPEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. CONTAINS ALL KINDS OF EVILS." With that warning, I had no intention of letting all those horrible things out. But apparently Sky felt differently. She skipped into the room, humming some ditty from that new kid's movie "Sleeping Cinderpanzelsa White", and asked me, "What you doing?" I said, "Don't worry about it, dear." (She insisted that we all call her "dear" that at the beginning of our trip, and started hysterically crying whenever we left it out of a sentence.)

She said, "What's in the box? Can I see can I see can I see? What's this say? Read it to me." I said, "It says bad things are in the box; leave it alone, dear." She pouted and said, "It's a present, isn't it. I wanna see!" Before I could stop her, she opened the box! Shape-shifting 4th-dimensional space monsters flew out of the box, cackling with glee. They disappeared into thin air, but their work was far from over. Everything your Majesty had worked so hard to build was at dire risk of being completely destroyed by these evil monsters."

"I knew that the only way to stop them was invented by the space flowers. Knowing that we were all in danger of being killed by the shape-shifting monsters, I privately warned everyone else about this threat, and advised them to talk about your Majesty as though we were against you, so that they would think we were their allies, and not kill us. I had to deliver this important message in sign language, while talking out loud about overthrowing you, so I guess some people might have misunderstood me. Anyway, this is what Sam and I were doing on the station later on."

"After Sandpaw and Sage lured the space flowers to the station, things were looking up. I took an anti-space-monster detector and eliminator from a space flower's remains. I was looking for monsters when Mhera was being attacked; while I was sympathetic, space monsters can kill in a moment, and I knew it was top priority to make sure that we didn't miss any of them. I was successful. None of us were killed by space monsters, although the flowers did take heavy losses. I'm very sorry to have had to even speak about your Majesty in a less than positive light, but given the circumstances it was necessary to do it, to allow us some hope of completing the mission. Rest assured that I would never consciously betray your Majesty."Overlord, the reason I jumped onto Sage was due entirely to the fact that Mhera hit me on the head with a heavy broom, which she was using against the space flowers. I have no idea why she was using it, since there were plenty of blaster guns right by her. Anyway, I was dazed and wandered into the cockpit. Sage was driving, and Ash and LT were lying on the floor, unconscious. (I realized later that they had attempted to hijack and crash the station.) Not knowing what was going on, I jumped on Sage and yelled, "Noo! We have to let the space station crash, it'll kill us all!" I finally realized what was happening three minutes later when the space station crashed. But, as you see, it was all Mhera's fault.

Also, I was one of the few who actually understood James' sign language.Sky smiled in amusement. "Well crafted response, but I'm afraid I need to justify myself:

You see, all of us together as a group had found out about Opposite Day. We all agreed to go along with Opposite Day and all say the opposite of what we really meant. It wasn't my idea, but I went along with it.

We all found out that the day I ended up opening the box was the bona fide Opposite Day and agreed to say the opposite of what we really meant no matter what. Again, this wasn't my idea, but Izeroth said it would "improve our critical thinking". So when James told me the box contained bad things, I thought he meant good things. He didn't tell me that this was an exception to Opposite Day whatsoever, and all of us were still going along with the Opposite Day. I never told him to stop saying the opposite of what he meant.

Anyway, Opposite Day ended after this. The day we arrived at the station was the following day.

As for the dear thing, I just lost a very good friend of mine who used to always call me "dear". As I missed him so much, I cried at the very thought of him. To alleviate my pain, I asked my allies to do me a small favor and call me "dear". It wasn't a big deal and it wasn't anything bad, sir.

Also, I didn't understand James' sign language because I never learned it. I know you ordered al of us to learn at one point, but I never got to because some of your other servants kept canceling my registration to a perfectly fine and good sign language school. I apologize for this misunderstanding; this is the reason why it occurred."Sir, I was using a broom to fight as anyone paying attention could see that the blaster guns next to me were just dummy guns used for training and absolutely worthless in a fight. My hitting Jukka in the head with the broom was an accident.

Now as for Jukka's implication that I'm to blame for crashing the K7, it seems nonsensical especially since she herself just admitted to jumping on Sage and shouting how the station must crash and kill us all. In her defense, however, she used the vague pronoun "it" when referring to whatever it was she is accusing me of; it is quite possible she is blaming me for the delicious breakfast I bought everyone before the mission, and for that I accept full responsibility.Overlord, Mhera did indeed buy us breakfast before our mission started, and it is for that reason that I was accusing her of being the root cause of the space station's demise. You see, the day before this (which was Opposite Day), I overheard Sage muttering something to himself about how he was so stupid and how he thought I was awesome and how he had NOT slipped a timed-release poison capsule in my breakfast that Mhera had bought three weeks before. Of course, since it was Opposite Day, I quickly realized that I had been poisoned, and that it might take effect at any moment. I searched the ship all that day for an antidote, but found none.

The next day, the day of the chaotic attack and crash, I think that Mhera's whacking me with a broom and the poison (which, luckily, wasn't enough to be fatal) combined to send me into a daze which lasted long enough for the ship to crash. Thus, Mhera's buying of breakfast is indeed the root cause of the station's demise. Would I lie to you, Overlord?Sir, I bought the time release capsules and then hid them on a stray asteroid to prevent any of your other, potentially unloyal servants from attaining them and then using them to poison you. I noticed the day before that some were missing from where I had stashed them and assumed a wild space creature had stolen them. Thanks to Jukka's information I now realize it was actually Sage. My buying breakfast was solely to make sure everyone went into the mission well-fed and feeling good, sir, and I'm sorry that Sage used it for more nefarious purposes.

As for Jukka, putting it frankly, sir, it was irresponsible for her to go on with this mission when she knew she was poisoned and could become a potential liability.
I'm sorry, alright? I never meant to poison Jukka, I just... well, it was Halloween the day before, and the spirit of Death Day just kinda took ahold.Perhaps it was somewhat irresponsible to go on with the mission without telling anyone, but I am by nature a paranoid person, and I didn't know who among my companions I could trust. James, perhaps, but I wasn't completely sure, so I searched for an antidote myself."I can attest about the Opposite Day nonsense. Here's how it all started. Sage and Plugg had been arguing very loudly, and yelling insults at each other. When Sage screeched, "NOOO, I'M AWESOME, AND YOU ARE STUUUUPIIIID, YOU STUPID STUPIDITY STUPIDITY STUPID STUPIDY-HEAD STUP MAN", so loud that it burst one of Jukka's eardrums (the poor girl has a condition, and her ears are especially sensitive), well, Sam had had enough. He screamed, "STOP SCREAMING!!!" This shocked everyone into being quiet, as Sam is known for being silent. He continued, "I'm sick to death of hearing this argument! If you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all." Plugg growled, "Not much chance of me saying anything that sounds nice to this ninny, unless it's Opposite Day." Izeroth and Ash cheered, "OPPOSITE DAY!!! YAAAAAAY!" Izzy looked up what day Opposite Day was on the Externet. It turned out to be the day after that day. So, he went around telling everyone, "We should celebrate Opposite Day; it will improve our critical thinking", over and over and over and over and over again. Eventually, we all said "Fine" just to get him to shut up."

"As for why I spoke normally, confusing Sky, it was because I was very tired and stressed out. You see, Izzy was all fired up about celebrating Opposite Day when it was just an idea, but he was depressed when we actually started doing it, and he walked around constantly saying "We should celebrate Opposite Day; it will improve our critical thinking" in a very whiny, sarcastic tone, starting at midnight (when Opposite Day officially began), and continuing for the next 24 hours. He even took stimulants so that he could keep the rest of us from getting any sleep by repeating this over and over again. The reason I took on the duties in the cargo bay was to get away from him. So, I was half-asleep, and reflexively answered Sky normally. I tried to correct myself when I realized my mistake, but by then it was too late and she had already opened the box."

"I wasn't there when Sky was sending her forms in to school, but Jukka had told me about what happened. She said that every time Sky pressed the "Register" button on the sign language school's website, she would then get off the computer, forgetting to log out of her account. Then, when Sage got on the computer, he would keep pressing the "Cancel Registration" button, at Plugg's request. Plugg's supposed to have said something about it being fun, that they could teach Sky wrong sign language themselves and cause her to misinterpret everything. I guess he hadn't gotten around to doing it before this mission started, though."My overlord, Yes, we talked about "overthrowing" you, but, as James said, was to pretend that we were on the flowers's side. And, it was all crazy after that, but if I try to explain the rest, they would argue with me, and I don't want to have too much attention.
IC: Skye stepped forward again. "Sir, the first time, I forgot to log out because there was so much going on at the time. The second time, I was determined to not forget because my registration had been canceled earlier. However, a few other servants burst in saying they needed me for something important (and not evil). They dragged me out of the room to help them out, and I had no chance to log off my account. That must have been when my registration got canceled again. All because I tried to do something good for you and my team."
