[OOC: NOTE: This is a Semi-Structured TGOD, Structured in the sense that the members of SEGNOR are the ones participating. We've been unhomed, so it had to go to a Public forum or be lost for good.

Ice runs down the hallways, dodging scattered Gnomish patrols; they're unaware he has made it to this level. He quickly ducks into an arms locker, after passing the retinal scan.
"Please select your weapons, Grand Vizier," announces the voice of the computer.
The rogue, Ice, picks one of the L/AL-powered Gridfire Rifle Mk IIIs, and an L/AL-powered Battle Suit, equipped with Mark II R/UR shielding. He puts on this equipment, just as a member of the GTR walks in, and sees his face.
"Excuse me, sir, but this area is not --"
The soldier drops after a quick burst from the Gridfire Rifle. Ice looks appreciatively at his weapon, and walks out of the arms locker...into the sight of a squad of Gnomish Marines. They raise their weapons, but falter at the sight of the Grand Vizier's face.
This hesitation proves lethal.
Ice walks past the charred remains in his Battle Suit, but not before detonating an R/UR Grenade in the Arms locker, eliminating all usable Battle Suits and Gridfire Rifles in this sector, leaving the Gnomish military and security forces with only what sidearms and hand-to-hand weapons they have in their possesion...and no Battle Suits.

upon receiving a distress call from a SEGNOR outpost, a sqaud of GIA Ghosts are dispatched to investigate. upon landing they exchange fire with Ice, and are successful in taking him down. Just as they are about to load him up in the ship he escapes and kills the whole crew. Fisher is alerted that the patrol has not reported in. "Hmm I wonder what this could mean." He then learns the last message of the WRAITH. "-- have received distress----- going--- investigate--- Ice---escape-- HELP!! HE IS KILLING ......." When he hears this message he raise the alarm. " ATTENTION ALL PARAMILITARY PERSONNELL REPORT TO THE BREIFING HALL. THE PRISONER ICE HAS ESCAPED. ALL TROOPERS AND COMMANDOS REPORT TO THE LAUNCH BAYS. WE ARE GOING AFTER HIM. IF YOU SEE HIM DO NOT ATEMPT TO CATCH HIM ON YOUR ON. I WANT HIM ALIVE BUT I WILL UNDERSTAND IF HE IS DEAD."
::The distress signal light starts flashing on the bridge of the orange star::
"answer that, will you?" says Rye, half heartedly.
A dominatrix orange bridge officer flips a switch and the viewscreen comes to life and the distress signal plays over the tannoy.
"Oh no. The ancient "ice" has escaped. Red alert everybody, we must bring this criminal to justice"
The bridge gets bathed in red light.
The shields of the orange star go up and we slip into hyperspace and return to realspace seconds later, above the source of the distress signal.
"Sir! We're picking up a vapour trail of an escaping ship!" said another dominorange.
"pursuit course," says Rye carefully.
The giant orange station slides through space and dwarfs the escaping craft.
"open a hailing frequency. This is Rye, the citric attack gnome prime to escaping craft. Who are you? Stop your engines and lower your shields."

Two GTR transports, each loaded with a platoon of elite GTR soldiers, launch from the Deep Freeze to board the crippled Wraith spy ship. They got to within 250 meters, when all of a sudden, the Wraith vanished into cloak.
"SENSORS!" yelled RogueIce, "Deploy the CGT arrays!"
"Aye, sir."
The CGT arrays were deployed...yet there was no trace of the Wraith on the screens.
Hm...damn, that cloak tech is good stuff. If he gets away with that ship... But it was too terrible a thought to bear.
"Agent Fisher," queried the Grand Vizier, "Is there any way to detect that ship?"
"No sir...it was a prototype, fitted with our best cloaking technology. We won't find it, unless it wants to be found."
Damn...
This was not good.

Fisher then dispatches five ships of the prototype class WRAITH HUNTER/KILLER to track him down.
Fisher contacts RogueIce "The WRAITH H/Ks WILL HELP HUNT HIM DOWN. THE WRAITH'S CLOAK WILL ONLY LAST FOR A FEW MORE HOURS WITHOUT RECHARGE AT A GIA FACILITY. AND AFTER THAT HE IS OUT OF LUCK, WE WERE GOING TO INSTALL A BACKUP CLOAK BUT NEVER GOT AROUND TO IT. I HAVE ALREADY ISSUED ORDERS FOR THE GIA FLEET TO DETAIN THE SHIP AT ALL COST. ALSO I HAVE ACTIVATED ALL INTEL ASSESTS IN THE MULTIVERSE TO BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR THE WRAITH OR ICE."

"Roger that. Just take him alive."
Agent Fisher stares back at the screen, curious as to why, but unwilling to ask, it is so important to keep the rogue Ice alive.
"We need him alive...because we need to know who created him, how...and why."

Fisher is sitting in his cabin in the GIA.S.S. ORCA WRAITH.
As he sits, there is a knock on the door. " Come in," the door opens and reveals a young soldier.
"Sir, here are the SITREPS you requested."
"Thank you," Fisher says. " Anything of interest."
"Yes sir, one of our feulling depots was attacked by the rebel Ice."
"What?! Was he able to recharge the cloak?"
"No sir, a squad of BRAVO-class starfighters dropped in for a refeulling and were able to drive him off before he could recharge the cloak. They then gave chase but had to return for feul."
"Well at least he didn't charge the cloak. See to it that those men are rewarded. By the way what was the body count?"
"5 dead, 20 wounded."
"All right, that is all. Dismissed."
"Yes sir."
Fisher then reads the rest of the SITREPS and then turns in for the night.

Fisher then reads the rest of the SITREPS and then turns in for the night.
"It would appear the next move is up to him... Does he intend to continue his hit and run tactics...or seek allies?"
As RogueIce ponders this disturbing possibility, another thought crosses his mind, and he sends a transmission to Agent Fisher's ship.
He contacts an aide, "Get me Agent FIsher, soldier. Now."
The aide salutes nervously, and finds Agent Fisher, who appears on the screen.
"How much more fuel can the rebel have in that ship, taking into account from where he started, and assuming a conservative trip to that depot?"
"In other words, how much further out might he be from that base?"

"Very well."
RogueIce contacts Mitth.
"Dispatch the fleet in a three star system radius, in all directions, from Depot P47-5D."
He then sends a transmission to Agent Fisher.
"Focus your H/K groups along his last vector after leaving the station."
After recieving acknowledgements from the two commanders, a stray thought flickered through his mind.
Isn't P47-5D close to...
With a startled gasp, he contacts Mitth, Fisher, and SEGNOR's leader, Darth Garden Gnome.
"P47-5D, Ice's last known location, is dangerously close to Black Mage territory! It's entirely possible he has run across them already, and without his cloak, it's very likely they will have captured him."
He paused, as he considered the ramifications of what he was to say next. Ramifications that could have dire consequences on the uneasy peace that existed between the Gnomes and BMs for the moment.
"He may have sided with them...and given them the Wraith as a present..."

Fisher dispatches the H/Ks to along the border to hunt for Ice. Fisher then sends 30 two man ships into Black Mage Space to hunt for Ice.
Fisher knows that by now Ice has run out of gas, so Ice will be at the border and not much farther.
One of the ships find the Wraith and sends back its location just before Ice hijacks it and escapes.
The GIA H/Ks arrive shortly after to rescue the two man crew.
When Fisher learns that Ice has escaped he realizes he could be nearly anywhere now. But it is not as bad as it seems because the scout ship didn't have a cloak feild and only enough fuel to make it to the nearest fuel depot. Fisher is very releived to have the Wraith safely back.

Full alert! Ice has a GIA Warlock-Class scout vessel. While not an immediate threat to our larger warships, the thing is damn fast. Chances are he's escaped into Mage territory; if he gets in contact with *disgusted* Nitram not only would the Black Mages get their hands on precious Gnomish technology of the R/UR and L/AL vareity BUT they can also use Ice's knowledge of Gnomish facilites to strike where our defences are weakest!

Near P47-5D, the GIA frigate Don't Say I Didn't Warn You drops into normal space.
Ok, we got here late. Again.
Sir, we've picked up traces of energy indicating BM Navy vessels have been here recently.
Well, they'll be on their way back home now. Nothing to worry about.
Uh, the fleet's heading into Mage territory...
And..?
Shouldn't we follow them?
We're covert operatives, not the Navy. Let them do their jobs, and we'll follow them in later to gather intel.

Fisher then deploys 10 WIZARD class scout/spy ships to search Mage Space. The WIZARD is a small 3 man craft with a long range and a cloak. The crews have orders to self-destruct rather than be captured. Fisher also contacts 3rd Impact.
"3rd Inpact, I want you to deploy Ghost commandos into Mage space. Make sure the ships have a cloak and tell half of them to stick with the fleet but remained cloaked. I want the other half to spread out and scan the spaceports and fuel depots. Ice will need to refuel soon. I want him found and brought back alive, but if you can't, bring him back dead."

A few hurriedly issued orders later, and a swarm of cloaked monitor craft flooded from the Frigate's launch bays.
One by one, the vessels in the group peeled off to inspect the various facilities scattered around the sector.

ME: Drop the pleasentries Mage. Sensors indicate that you have just recently came in contact a Gnomish vessel, and that aboard that vessel was a Gnomish VIP of sorts. Where was he going? Did he say anything to you?

On board his ship the ORCA WRAITH. Fisher is finishing his papers. He then walks into the launch bays, where he observes ships being launched.
Fisher then walks to the berth were his personal fighter/gunship the ORCA GHOST was docked. Fisher then decided to go out and hunt Ice himself.
As Fisher was suiting up in his light GHOST armor and packing his HEAVY TROOPER armor, 345th GHOST COMMANDO team walked into the armory.
"Hey boss, were are you going?"
"I am taking the ORCA GHOST and hunting down Ice."
"Well then we are coming too."
"Sure I could use the company."
As Fisher finishes suiting up, he takes as many weapons and supplies as the ship can carry, and loads them up.
Before he sets out he contacts 3rd Impact before he leaves.
"3rd Impact, I want you to take the fleet and patrol the borders for Ice. Also I am taking 2 more fighter/gunships with me to hunt for Ice. Take care of the fleet, see you later."

Permission granted. Go in there with all you've got, but keep it discreet. I'll keep their attention while you dig deeper. I am going to be heading to the nearest fuel depot. Even if chances are Ice was refueled by the Mages, I can distract them long enough for you to penetrate into their more inner sanctums.

The Deep Freeze, Gnomish Terror, and Capt. Tycho's Death Squadron are all just minutes away from your location, should you need rescue or reinforcements. Their big guns should be able to hold off an ambush long enough for any Gnomish casualties to be avoided.Agent Fisher wrote:"SIR, WHAT IS THE WORD ON THE RESCUE TASK FORCE.

Fisher, we may have a problem. Sensors indicate that Ice has just stolen enough fuel from this station to keep his cloak going indefinately. This ship as at too much risk to go any deeper into Mage space. It's up to you and your cloak-sensing ships to find him now. In the meantime I'll--
