Well then it's time for action Navigation (always forward, always upward) Weapon station (Always vigilant sir) Communication (receiving on all channels) Chief Engineer (ha) Mister La'Veer (yeah) light the candle My engines roar to life, a megaton space ship takes flight. (Well alright!) I'm on the edge of accepting stripes and pledging to defend the far ends of the universe as a Battlestrux First Knight it's Captain of a rocketship graduation day Mantis One sits in an underground launch bay It's an A-Shaped spaceship far beyond you range A vast array of rays arranged she starts to raise Up . My crew is a class of cadets and this my final test. Anti-Gravity (setting sail) They plan a malfunction, something is rigged to fail Sir, they've stopped the overhead doors Well smash into the bay. Navcom; angle us sideways (The Gyroscope has failed ) we're losing control of pitch well this it. Manual control, pass the console. (Yes Sir!) Starting rotation and roll. End over end over end (I never seen that before) clearing the launch bay doors (oh my lord) we passed through the access while gyrating into the open sky aligned and then the ship straightened (Gyroscope returned to nominal) That was phenomenal Tower (Test close) sir shuttle on approach Permission to come aboard the Mantis (Granted) Captain please recite the oath. We were told they would come Those who did not know their own name (Dynamics Plus!) These, the children of the cosmos would change all that came before and control the fate of the Universe. The Gods will say they named the starts well and look down with delight for this is the age of Wars. And yet, great ships loom across the skies (Mantis One) and the heavens were darkened by the Lords of Battlestrux Congratulations Dynamics Plus, you are Captain of a Starship!

Space Kraken Awaken About 12 parsecs out the Omega Pegasus drops out of space warp the first officer reports All clear- we arrive where starships disappear The sea of despair at the ends of the great space frontier At the Galaxy Academy cadets jokingly Call it Bethany's triangle a collapse star that's eclipsed she strangles ships and anything else that drifts manages to mangle any that slips into her gravity pits she's entangled a list her appetite is enormous Oh it's quite ravenous her waist or should I say Radius-- a magnetic storm forms up her nucleus warning beacons are seeded and seated around her rim warning ships to avoid her lips or be kissed and sucked in recently the frequency of lost ship ships increasingly Captain Diogenes is sent in to solve the mystery he thinks confidently this mission is so far beneath me huh foolish merchants who can't navigate these straits and then the energy surges and his ship begins to shake science desk relates and tells of a gravity swell he launches a diving bell first mate Michelle yells something monstrous is emerging from the center if the well red alert alarms, weapons arm, set deflectors to repel shields erect, science desk interjects shields erode, it's the side effects of the energy fields, Sir! Object unknown starting to close in and it's getting close all ahead slow and load the torpedoes, fire first salvo missile slides from it's silo they explode in a glowing halo. Sir I have a visual, it's a giant shadow Weapons con: Projectiles no effect it's projected course Intercept. He told everyone stay calm. Evasive defense! No sir, we can't out maneuver. -then brace for collision He sat down quietly and then the darkness hit them Verse 02 for almighty is the power of the battle ship. The pen- ultimate dreadnaught warship with heavy armaments A formless bulk slams into Omega Pega-sus she rolls on her side and tips as her hull rips Next to the engine Young ensign James Bisby holds his fiancée as her essence slips away he cradles her in his arms, and rubs her charm it was meant to bring her luck and avoid harm. (decompression alarm) Air starts rushing out instead of running out or paying heed to the warning shouts he decides to stay until his time runs out. The shield plate gives out. He wheels about and tries to shout but no words come out the light go out, then the air gets sucked out then he get's sucked out and then swallowed into the Krakens mouth (Captain) Far above on the bridge (Captain) Young Michelle watched her display fade and then she began to pray He cleared the rubble, the Engineer reports the drive buckled, damage severe he knew they were in trouble Weapons Clear! He fired batteries -- after another Battering they were down to emergency batteries. (Shields collapsing) Course heading ahead! But the helmsman wasn't listening Seems he had died when his station fried. The ship was listing Lights blinking, air venting and hissing... he calmly sat down in his captains chair and began thinking (Captain we're sinking) reminiscing and reciting And yet, great ships loom across the skies And the heavens were darkened by the Lords of Battlestrux (Captain; we're about to die) and then he closed his eyes Should the stars fall from the sky (and worlds collide) And should ships sink into the oceans of time (Space Kraken Arise) Across seas of fate, the hand of God will touch Final destiny at the end of the galaxy (Battlestrux!)

Captain on the Bridge We cruise through space ship accelerates at warp speed rates passing through the gates we all lose weight from the gravity state grey atomic flakes left in our wake stars change shape - then change their state create an Ice lake for our ship to skate ripples and wakes from the noise we make a lesser god quakes and then shakes awake rays radiate in a beautiful haze space illuminates as the rays escape the razor scrapes, see the pain on her face she turns away the metal plate's in place it must be the strain of the gyrus's vibrates grating leads to nose bleeds and migraines breaking warp into normal space ends the navigates and clears the slates Click here to Return to the top of this page... Where Starships Dissapear We're here where starships disappear In a gravity well called the Sea of Despair While we effect repairs, somewhere out here is a monstrous nightmare that some would swear we're lost in the lair of the Devil's heir with a Medusa stare and snakes for its hair Captain Dynamics Plus sinks in his chair He stares till his XO whispers in his ear Tactical Report, [we're a booster short] Omega Pegasus to port, [we have platform support] We need another power source We'll feed off the derelict's core (of course) the Omegas' power cells, using ours as well ' to propel us from the center of the Gravity swell We'll need captain codes and a starship key to unload. Well that means the captain goes. (but not alone) [sir] Miss Icon; you have the conn She tried to look strong, but her face was drawn My captain don't be gone long Young Sinclair took the empty chair. You'll need communications over there. That's fair. Oh that's fair, aheh, young Jason the Parrot Sir, I am ready in your chariot (let's go) [Shuttle Away] very strong magnetic waves And there sits the Omega Pegasus. Our shuttle slips into a rift Entering the Battlestrux Battleship now turned into a silent crypt [Captain Dynamics?] Sir that incoming communiqué (yes) that's the source of the wave! it magnifies and resonates causing her faceplate to ache Sir, my scanner indicates- a fearsome shape And so the Space Kraken Awakes! Make for the gate [hurry in] We're safe Captain it's bearing straight [Battlestations] Time for Action! the space kraken awaits We'll use the heavy platform as bait And soon as it approaches arm and detonate Match the wavelength and amplify its strength Oh my god, look at it's length A gruesome beast! Shockwaves and debris Clear the screen of this cosmic dust, Captain Plus; it's still alive and turning towards us Full shields up! All guns erupt, Mantis Lift up! Sir,it won't be enough It's mouths opening up! We'll be crushed! Full- thrust, max engine gas compress combust Ring the collision claxon (it's time for Action!) Click here to Return to the top of this page... Lair of the Beast Urgent emerging emergency Captain Plus - sees the beast that he freed Feels the star the starship starts to bleed - Mantis One sits inside the Dead Sea The Engineer says we're holding mostly The BIOS cone lights his screen and shows me The XO goes the glow is ghostly - as Doctor Quest quotes that Space is Lonely Jason notes we're like the one and only My Angar vanguard looks on coldly A-lex scolds him "To go Boldly" Sinclair says "please, someone hold me" I told the crew the Gods are watching closely We're with you sir! Yet scared they showed me With screens on the verge of collapsing totally All the while the beast circles slowly Tactical: The monsters seeking Factual: We have plasma leaking Practical: the storms concealing And Actual: the damage reduced shielding - impact, Space Kraken Attacks Shields collapse as the arms attach Any contact with the plasma gas (sir) Turns its mass into shards of glass (that's it) The beast reacts slackens its grasp We answer back with a full missile rack The arms relax as we rake her back The beast contracts and the bridge goes black (arghh) Only his chest was lit As Doctor quest says her theory fits It's the waves the beacons transmit It's like a call, the beast answers it Our scanner clicks makes its senses trip And then in fact we attract its grip The balance tips and she defends her strip' And attacks any shift in its gravity pit Tactical: The monsters seeking Factual: We have plasma leaking Practical: the storms concealing And Actual: the damage reduced shielding Tactical: Weapons Special Factual: letting off electrical Practical: burning off several tentacles And Actual: it's quite a spectacle (it's working) We invert the waves It works its way, the beast moves away The crew celebrates: we won the day The chief engineer has worse to say Orbit decays as the gravity plays The news is grave, this pit's our grave As the core decays and our engines fade Someone screams the beast comes this way He was set to aim his cosmic rays I said delay, the beast moves so strange The way it behaves- like it wants to play While some pray we're no longer prey It becomes a sleigh and the Mantis raise And after we're saved it falls away in its on way it seems to convey - the beacons stay but ships keep away a final spray as it turned away then dove below back into grey the lesson played as we limped away my mission grades on the Kraken's day Click here to Return to the top of this page... Return to Song Lyrics or Return to Main Webpage Enter the Exit Track Observation deck thirteen I extend the Lens and magnify - the view port starts to open wide - I hear the screen intensify I see a quasar start to die and watch a solar flare, it rises high I watch the stars slide by and particles collide My XO takes my side stands quietly and then whispers why I replied it's all cosmic tides Across the seas of space, it seems our fates intertwine A bright shine like a golden charm Lights up her face as an Ion disperses charge Colors change from magnetic waves The comets cascade from half-life decay displays Her eyes glazed as she turned away I think I heard her say you saved more than lives today You're the captain of my starship and Should the fabric rip and stars start to dip And the moon eclipse and lose it's grip and Planets Fall as if Atlas trips, an axis tips you're the pilot of my rocket ship enter his exit track, galactic star trip Dynamics Plus blast off in his starship Dynamics Plus blast off in your starship Click here to Return to the top of this page... Encounter on Planet X-10 Our shuttle descends onto Planet X-10 mission to investigate a message that was sent in a sense this meant alien contact in fact create a contract and pact Marines in packs in case of aggressive acts Stacked and armed for combat so quick to react and in short it's considered a sport ready for all sorts of assorted attacks my transport pulls near to what appears to be an ancient fort the pilot swore sir, I've explored and fought many wars on alien shores. But I've never seen anything like this before. But to be sure I'm opening the cargo bay doors a giant robot steps forth I asked what's the machine for the entire marine corps let off a roar Doctor Quest says her long range scan only one relic stands among the oceans of sand the robot is at her command it only Understands simple programs and commands. It's only here to carry the heaviest gear To be fair it looks like hardware for warfare the marines panned out and prepared made a firing line and fanned out yelling all clear and then an awesome glare suddenly it just appeared, standing there (hold your fire!) its body was enormous, its face was monstrous it started walking towards us (Indira Quest) The doc was distracted, (Do you even see what's happening?!) She said Captain did you notice these wall plates? They bare the universal shape I think I can translate. They're words from an ancient race the thing stepped on a disc the floor began to shift. while sliding out from its hip was a strange instrument light came from its tip the sergeant screamed armor-suit it's fully equipped what happened next is up for debate something warm and sticky -splashed on my face everything went black and then the muzzle flash the sounds of screaming and then a body crashed I need assisting, mister are you listening He twisted I saw most of his face was missing The suit the alien wore seemed to absorb Shells grenades and pellets as well- as it tore Among the gore she crawled on all fours She said Captain I've translated more I know what this fortress is fortified for It warns and implores avoid a gruesome store This planet's a prison, meant to remain hidden This visit's forbidden, we're in the midst of the most viscous and malicious it's overridden and overwritten -the hieroglyphs of the crypt. And trans- mitting. Fitting for its makeshift spaceship Captain I think we're beginning to lift (let's go) We ran out into the open hoping to make the opening that was closing then the monster closed in (she screamed -hopeless) it aimed it's stick she said I cant bare to watch it the robot ran in to stop it- ramming him to block it against program logic several servos seemed to fuse. The alien tried to break loose but it's no use. We were only a few (marines move) we were covered then recovered by the shuttle crew (captain) my XO spaceship Mantis One orbits in low opens up with guns blows holes and the whole base shows then rolls on its side glows then explodes the doctor stands alone. Said she never sent codes the robot acted on its own mission ends, download and send she lost a friend on planet X-10 Click here to Return to the top of this page... M.O.P.H.O. Last Analogue Transmission Chorus: And this composition (Captain of a starship!) The Xodus Phoenix expedition (Blast off Rocketship!) My Final mission (A-shaped spaceship) The Captains' last Analog Transmission (The Last Transmission!) My survey ship the Phoenix Xodus receives a transmission -it's a series of blips from a far distance set a course for it [here's your mission:] Ascertain the source and maintain an orbit Sir, I have visual, it's a spaceship (of an unknown kind) It's sending us a analog signal (well, let's reply) We can't respond in digital (we'll have to go inside) The line has died A magnetic storm has arrived take the ship down planet-side. Send an away team while we wait for the waves to subside Part II [Down and Away] Can you hear me captain? Yes barely, boost his chip It's clearly an earthship, buried up to its tip fairly certain the ancient rocketship has real analog circuits powered by Curtis chips. We're stopping the rover and walking closer There's lettering on the hull, but its' covered over It reads MOPHO what? M.O. in Code Mike, Oscar, Papa, Hotel, Oscar come in over? Mopho. Find me a reference the storms too intense We're losing communiqué there's too much interference Captin, we've entered the main bay proceeding down main passageway into the command gangway Captain, the signals split I can't receive you but I can still transmit I hope you're getting all of this Look here, we have a dead astronaut slumped over holding a yellow box. Sir, data package, live feed, it's the ship's ID This doesn't make sense; it's logged under military defense. MOPHO the letters meant Mass Obliteration Planetary Heavy Ordinance There's a red button sir. I'm sure it's a control Yes, wires leading to the console. No! Don't press it. I'm sure this resets it. Blast off, emergency Lift-off The Hull is peeling away! Atomic yield phase shields raised Planet Surface giving way. massive waves of radioactive rays displayed in an azure haze of Fallout blaze (planetary shockwave!) gaining a range, mass action engine engage burning inertial stage, surfing immersing in flames Part III [Doctor Atomics sees the Light of Destruction] The Ark is part of the pardon of Cain the arc is part of the stay from acidic rains in face of his reign shaping the plane and breaking the chains lights fade in the age of half-life decays awaken a wraith and awaiting his rage [it's the God] birthing and cursing in his domain [insert control rods] the world spins on his lathe action reaction a vain attracting your acting a play a pact to enact a delay it's an act of faith we wait as he pulls the reins plays the strings of fate it's the endgame of your ways Sir the gravity gauge well, check the display It's confirmed we're pulling away. We were almost burned Set course for return Close mission. Coded: Analog Transmission Click here to Return to the top of this page... Battle Planet REMIX (Captain to the bridge) I'll make this short Captains Star log Star date update Report We are about to arrive and engage the Alien Planet 5 Collide and survive where most that tried have died We dedicate this commission to the ships that are missing We are the vanguard of that final frontier. Most of you Understand the importance of being here To deliver this payload and avenge the destruction of our home(Sir!) To the Lenzmen/ helmsmen: break warp, set course We used the Ionic Disruptor to cause the Force Filed to peel it was ironic; it exploded in a most beautiful cluster that almost collapsed our shields Next they sent scores of insects to intercept Small ships called Streakers that static burst of the speakers alerts us to the Star Screamers. I can hear the Screams of the burning cities. Gunner, fire the small batteries The laser seeks in great sweeps (hull breach , Captain) A few must have gotten through- "Maintain course continue Battle Planet Part II The Battle Planet came into view clouds of Toxic, noxious gaseous fumes ejected into The atmosphere in towering plumes of iridescent hues 10, 000 worlds consumed by this star of doom The huge monstrous centrifuge needed fuel We let off the heaviest tool. We waited, waded through the Shockwave then it seemed to come alive the Cloud mass around its equator parted the sky Dissipating into the shape of an eye with a giant Solar flare inside. Electrical strikes raked our sides Everything went short from the spikes (emergency lights) down to emergency power and life support Self-destruct in six minutes- all hands abandon ship I said Navigator: not you. Sir, you weren't about to give up were you? And I said" Very true, bring us around full circle. Send out the beacon for the escape pods arm the payload, we'll use this ship as a lightning rod. Then She squeezed my hand said a small prayer to her god. Kiss my cheek whispered "True and Living" then Oblivion. Click here to Return to the top of this page... |
