 The battlefield in the space above Lirath was a tumultuous mess. being both inviting targets for barrage in and of themselves, and also forcing the GIA ships to stay in close to protect them instead of allowing for more maneuvering room. The ice ring around Lirath had been blasted apart, resulting in giant chunks of ice drifting through fire- and sight-lines, providing opportunities for both cover and ambush as well as destruction for the dog-fighting ships weaving in and out of their treacherous paths. The wreckage of GIA and Ohm ships made movement through the battlefield downright hazardous -- who knew if there were still live weapons aboard any of them, just waiting to be tripped by an unwary pilot? The gravitational forces of the nearby planet Kehoe were an unwelcome addition to an already chaotic battlefield, making navigation difficult.

Ohm shrikes strafed the bare handful of GIA capital ships present, causing soundless explosions in the vacuum of space and killing who-knew-how-many allies of Transmigration 9's crew in the process.The GIA fighters seemed barely able to dent the massive Ohm Leviathans that brooded over the planet like bloated, predatory spiders, and those that were still flying were massively damaged, hulls scorched by plasma fire, some barely held together with parts of them vented into space. In some places there were things that looked like clouds of specks-- groups of dead GIA crewman, lost to the void.

Before long, new Ohm bioforms would enter the fray, ones created to compensate for the ship's mecha.

In this scattered and scorched battleground, Starfighter Command would have to fight Ohm ships side by side with the exhausted forces of the GIA, braving massive chunks of ice, wreckage, and of course, the seemingly never-ending forces of the Ohm.

And the tide of battle was already turned against them.

Unfortunately for Age, not long after after he had woken up from the pods, Glados had decided he was in need of some testing. Which meant several days of mazes and false promises of baked goods.

Not that Age didn't have fun doing it. The mazes were like fun little games to him, and besides, Age can have fun doing just about anything.

But now he was back out again, which meant he was now off looking for something else he could get in trouble with do for fun. And of course, Age being Age, he was inevitably drawn to Hydroponics.

After having spent so many years living alone in the desolate, barren landscape of the planet Olone, Age had grown a fondness for living, growing things when he finally encountered some aboard the Argonaut. Just being near all the different varieties of plants and animals in Hydroponics brought a smile to his face (then again, there was little that didn't). With a gleeful, childlike enthusiasm, he ran through the more untamed sections of growth, occasionally jumping from tree to tree. Spotting an unsuspecting alien animal, he pounces at it, giving chase as it runs away, only to happily release it when he manages to catch it after an amusing chase.

But, of course, Age being Age, it wasn't long before he managed to make himself hungry. Spotting a nearby tree bearing some kind of strange, alien fruit, he climbed up onto one of the branches and helped himself to some of it.

Leaning back on the branch and looking up at the artificial sky, he happily munched away at the strange fruit.

Still, it didn't seem like he would mind being disturbed.

The rest of the crew assembled on the Observation Deck to meet the latest editions to their numbers. After the revelation that their worlds are gone, many of them are even more eager to see people they knew from home.

Several people are set up near the doors to provide the new people with omnicoms and comm rings. New crew-mates might see a tall man in green armor and snake girl among their number. There are also several authoritative-looking figures ready to introduce themselves.

There's a lot to tell the new people. It's going to be a lot to take in.

[ooc: Only new characters and Command Staff can start new threads for introductions, to limit the number of threads. Everyone else, just tag in and have your guys greet the newbies.]
