Unidentified [ZECT; OSTO; OPEN]

[The Kisaragis]

8:00 PM Japan Standard Time

The moon; it's quite the sight for those looking up in the night sky. Many long to go up to space to explore mankind's final frontier and see the endless vasts of space with their own eyes.

But some simply want to explore space to see if there any other life that originates from space rather than Earth. What could be out there?

The trailing asteroid soaring through the sky is the answer and although hard to see from Earth's view, the streaking object entered the Moon's atmosphere and plowed in the hard yet no-gravity surface.

OSTO HQ

The entire headquarters and its members were on high alert, catching the crashing clearly on satellite. With that info, they quickly transferred and faxed the news to other space organizations.

(how are we gonna do this?)

ZECT officials, having hacked the files from OSTO, noticed the familiar patterns and signals coming from the asteroid, began mobilizing their own operatives for a new mission.

[The Kisaragis]

(Here's the basic plot: An asteroid full of worms is on that asteroid and OSTO doesn't know that. ZECT will send a team consisting of a large group of ZECTroopers along with Hercus and/or some other riders to do a cover-up mission to prevent OSTO from knowing that there are worms on that moon to prevent panic and news spreading to the public. But there are worms who infiltrated ZECT and will betray the team, etc, etc.)

Gentaro quickly dressed up in his blue uniform and placed the Apollo driver on his waist. He then shouted. "Henshin!" and transformed into Apollo in a flash.

(something glitched my post, so I'm afraid I'm gonna have to half-ass this)

Souji debriefed his ZECTroopers about their mission and objectives, and ordered them to report to the hangar bay ASAP, where their special ZECT shuttle awaits.

Apollo entered the "Exodus" OSTO space shuttle, and took the pilot seat, latching on the seatbelts and fastening himself tightly.

He then announced. "This is Kisaragi Gentaro reporting. I am at the shuttle and ready for takeoff. Assigned OSTO astronauts are to enter shuttle 004 Exodus for takeoff, T-minus 15 minutes."

Souji, now transformed into Hercus, entered the ZECT spaceship, and sat down, fastening down the seatbelts onto himself to secure himself from falling off his own seat. He told his fellow ZECTroopers. "Remember your mission, soldiers. You ready for this?"

"Sir, yes, sir!" they replied in affirmative.

[The Kisaragis]

The time duration has passed, and Apollo began to flip on some of the switches and levers on the ship, preparing the control handles for flight and activating the ships, engines. They were ready for takeoff when he heard one of the astronauts call out. "Kisaragi, Mr. Takahashi is still not onboard."

Apollo looked back at his passengers and realized a seat was still empty. It was Fourze's user, Aizuki Takahashi. He grabbed the mic and announced. "Last and final call for Mr. Aizuki Takahashi to enter aboard of the Exodus shuttle."

No response. He again repeated. ""Last and final call for Mr. Aizuki Takahashi to enter aboard of the Exodus shuttle."

Still nothing. Sighing, he started the countdown. "Ship is ready for launch in t-minus 60 seconds..."

[Souji Oda]

The ZECT ship was ready and Hercus leaned himself on the back wall of his seat and took a deep breath, since it was the first time he was going to space.

"Ready for flight through the atmosphere. Preparing to launch in 20, 19, 18, 17..."

(Waiting for anybody to join the RP?)

[The Kisaragis]

(Sure)

"T-minus 50 seconds." Apollo said.

[Souji Oda]

Souji waited for the countdown to end and lift off.
