Shadow of the Empress - Update II

Yesterday was the seventh annual hoverbike race at Hellrose Raceway! Fantastic Enterprises took the spotlight in commercial breaks instead of Protostar this year, and it was a thrilling race to be sure! Out of thirty-four racers the favorites to win the year’s biggest hoverbike race were the Humans Grant ‘Gladius’ Williams, and Jenny ‘Firestrike’ Brightmist, Granok Mason ‘Avalanche’ Slater, Aurin Mimi ‘Sugarpop’ Dewdrop, and the Ekose Otis ‘Papa’ Beeko. The FE crew and friends joined Jet Hellmatite in the VIP booth this year. The race began with a clean start, and the racers were off with an impressive roar that thrilled the crowds packed into the grandstands. Jenny, thanks to her placement from her qualifying times, started the race at seventh, and quickly pulled ahead. It was a riveting race, with two crashes, and the final third of the race saw the two human favorites battling for first place. Nearing the final stretch Grant, who was pulling into the lead, risked an attempt to throw Jenny off course. It sent both racers into a dangerous spin, one that Jenny barely managed to use to her advantage to take the lead and win the race! Meanwhile, in the VIP booth Jet was a source of amusement several times as he scolded and coached the two racers that he managed. Near the end of the race it was Jeremy Murdoch who saw something amiss -- a sandy blond head and a flashy marauder’s coat that he recognized. The wanted Marauder Captain, Seth Blackstar who disappeared as quickly as he came. Shouting and cursing, Jeremy rushed from the booth into the wild, cheering crowds, he was followed by Rook, Seeker, Elrabin, and Lady. The remaining twenty-nine racers blazed across the finish line, and the bikes joined together to drive a slow cool down lap both for themselves and the enjoyment of the spectators. Too few seemed to notice the small aircraft appearing out of the head of the desert to the west. Suddenly not even a hundred yards from the track the sound of a cannon ripped through the happy chaos of the racetrack. A spiked marauder ballista bolt shot towards the track, tearing through the back of Jenny’s bike, and the resulting explosion threw a dozen riders. Lady Starheart fired a brilliant shot at the attacking vessel, killing it’s pilot and sending it spinning away to be finished off by raceway fighters. As emergency personnel rushed to the wounded bikers, Granok and Mordesh guards and attendants saw to the safety of everyone in attendance. Elrabin Lichengrove having spotted a marauder fighter slipping away in the distance, attacked with a keen use of espernetics, significantly damaging the fleeing vessel. He then took off after it in attempt to try and find where it was going. By then Jeremy was already demanding to be let through, and Rook Vlakovian certainly put the wills and loyalty of the guards keeping spectators from the burning wreck of bikes to the test. Seeker Eldanhand was the only one to slip through, using a surprising espernetic shove to force back a Granok guard and rush through the crowd of nurses, staff, and racers to get to Jenny just as the unconscious and wounded young woman was being whisked to the medical ward. Inarious Morovichi, the second of the raceway’s two owners appeared then to motion for the crew to meet him below. When the small group reached the ward, the medical bay was filled with wounded racers, and the waiting area filled with worried family and friends. The medical staff rushed about, and among the fifteen injured, two were pronounced dead (two gentlemen, one Human, one Grumple). Morovichi was nowhere in sight. Jeremy was allowed in (no thanks to the efforts of Lady), though much to Rook’s dismay and fury she was not allowed in for the time being. Jenny’ is currently unconscious. Somehow she sustained only minor lacerations and burns, road rash, several broken and cracked ribs, and a leg fracture, though there is a concern that she has internal bleeding. After her ruined helmet was carefully removed, the doctor delivered the woman’s necklace and a red, cracked FE pin to the watching Seeker and Jeremy, saying that she is very, very lucky to be alive.

 Good morning! Just contacting you all to let you know that Jen’s pulling through okay. Darndest thing. She woke up at 07:31 and her vitals are somehow all back to normal. Not that I’m complaining! Blood transfusion has been canceled and doc just says she needs a day or two of bed rest before she can start getting up and going. Mister Murdoch is here with her, and if you all feel like stopping by to see her or pick them up feel free! Mor says your ship physician will be allowed full access to our medical facility if she wants.

Take care! Jet Hellmatite

Hellrose Raceway update! (because I’m stupidly excited) Still feeling a bit over my head, but Jet (okay, mostly Jenny, because running granok feel so slow) has been getting so much done! I can’t seem to focus on one thing at a time to get it done so there is a LOT of almost done and partially done areas of the ground floor complete. But there are stairs leading up to the racetrack level!  So here are a few more teasers as I battle with crooked beams, seams in my walls, and feeling a little OCD that those Torine statues aren’t perfectly symmetrical....

Shadow of the Empress: Update 1

There is always calm before a storm, and this time it ended with a message of caution on Jenny’s datachron from Jet Hellmatite, owner of the Hellrose Raceway. The Marauder Captain Blackstar was back on Nexus. 

Laying low could only last for so long, however. Determined to keep the upper hand and not get caught unawares, Jenny tracked down her most recent ex, Peter who, having been under the employment of Blackstar for over a year, was more often than naught the quickest way for information. The tense conversation nearly turned into a fight when Jenny broke the man’s nose, but the bartender spilled a drink on Peter and kicked the man out, leaving a napkin with the engineer.

Checking the napkin she then glanced across the bar. Jeremy sat a short ways down, and had been the one to send the drink to spill on Peter. No excuse not to explain, Jenny told Jeremy about her connection to Blackstar, and why there was reason to be concerned about his return to the planet. With some reluctance, the two agreed that the other could aid them in their growing troubles.

Several days later Jenny returned to her shop to find Seeker waiting for her. He said a customer had been in waiting, and expressed concern when Jenny had no appointments scheduled. The man called himself Cole, a long-dead friend of Jenny’s, and after hearing a description the man was realized to have been none other than Captain Blackstar himself.

Only a short time behind the marauder, Jenny took off after him, angry, and bent on hunting him down. Thankfully Seeker was not far behind, and at catching up with the red-head, reminded her to exercise caution. Blackstart was trailed back to a row of warehouses for smaller space freighters to take port, and the location of the hide-out was noted so as to keep good on her part of her bargain with Jeremy.

I give you the entrance to the Hellrose Raceway! Straight out of Jen’s background we have the somewhat seedy and oh-so-entirely reputable racecourse that hosts the annual Malgrave Hellrose Cup Race (because all good things come from Malgrave, right? ;D ).

This is a HUGE work in progress and I’m not anywhere close to being done, but I thought I would throw out a teaser. ^_^
