A year has passed since the Special Unit was first assigned to take out the last of the Maverick resistance. A year has passed and everyone has grown so much since they first came together. People have come. People have left. Some of died. Others have retired. Now, the Wraiths get together again and will learn what their next direction is - they will no longer be the "Wraith Hunters". Death Star has ressurected Snipe's idea of an Alliance and plans on putting the plans to use once again. The Alliance will lead the battle against the Tsivrixsh Empire. And where does this leave the team? A strike unit that will help turn the tide of the war by using their expertise - and Snipe is in charge of the unit, while Death Star, Dominator, and Wiendigo run the Alliance operations. However, not everyone will be making the new journey with Snipe - Ripple and Spirit announce they are heading back to Earth to raise a family. Tired of the constant fighting, the two wish the others the best of luck, but realize they want to live their lives in peace now. And when a mysterious person called Wing shows up, with strange weapons called the Gospels and the Emerald Sword, Death Star demands to know who he is. It seems that ... Garland is back, having escaped his exhile to the other realities. Having aged greatly, Garland is no longer the same man he was before. Just how has he changed? And when Snipe begins to train his fighters for a new level of operation, everyone begins to see just how much they have to learn - especially when they fail and Snipe ends up "dead". Having failed the simulator, the team realizes they have a long way to go if they're going to be ready to fight the Tsivrixsh Empire once again. Also, Eve continues to work with her mech, gaining more experience with it as time goes on.

When Airier returns, having not been killed so long ago, things begin to heat up - just what is Airier? A Death Star clone like he claims? Death Star doesn't seem to think so - and he's ready to go to any lengths to prove it. Even if it means he has to beat Airier down with his bare hands. But Death Star begins to make his own startling discoveries - he seems to have transformed into something beyond a reploid, and something not quite organic. Just what is he becoming? And just how has Garland and Death Star's relationship changed, now that Garland is older than DS is? Also, Slasher and Seraphna begin to enter a new level of competition with one another for master inventor status. Just who is going to be the greatest mechanic for the team and the Alliance?

October 6th, 2200Session 125: Survival Instinct
When Snipe, Elayne, Velocity, Gray Fox, and Kyo'Yokuo go to a mountain for some skiing, in order to relax some, they find that their vacation has quickly become a test for survival when an snowslide occurs. As they rush to their shuttle, the avalanche knocks the shuttle off the edge of the mountain, with them in it, and buries them under snow. Back at Origin, Kyouki returns, greeted by Sarlen and Eve. The confused ex-Wraith has finally made her way back to the team, wanting to become part of it again. But something isn't quite right - after the reality crisis, it seems as if there is someone else with her - someone called Hotaru? Also, Death Star and Garland return from the Alliance, back to see how the operations on the station are going. While Chip, Origin's computer, argues with some other members of the team, Death Star and Garland are brought up to speed by Seraphna. Death Star, Garland, and Kyouki decide to check on the others. Grey Fox bombs the shuttle and then melts the snow, helping the others out of it and up to the top, where they find they have a long climb ahead. Grey Fox intends to go alone, despite Snipe's orders that they stay together. When GF begins to move off, anyway, Snipe fires at his leg, which causes a battle to break out between the two. As they knock each other around in the snow, the two shoot each other and collapse in the snow. As the others patch them up, their fight survival continues as they try to reach the second shuttle that wasn't hit by the avalance - but is on top of the mountain. With the cold element injuring Snipe, plus aggrevating his virus, their chances of reaching the top begin to seem very slim. Especially when Snipe is hit by a secondary avalanche while saving Elayne and drops out of sight. Meanwhile, Death Star, Gravedigger, Garland, and Kyouki arrive at the planet when their shuttle is drained of energy and crashes on the mountain. They are forced to get off the shuttle before it plummets over the edge and now have to work their way up the mountain to the second Wraith shuttle that is still operational. However, when Garland's flight ability is weakened, they find themselves having to climb their way to the top. As both teams arrive at the top, they find that they aren't quite alone on this mountain. When Snipe rejoins them, everyone will have to get past bears and other nasties to reach the shuttle. In the end, this will be one vacation no one forgets - especially when Gray Fox has to make a sacrifice for the team to survive.

However, the team digs further into it and learns that the chip was an old CorSec weapon chip of some sort. The question becomes - just how is CorSec tied into this? Deciding to take no chances, Death Star agrees to come back from the Alliance and aid the team out, but tells Snipe to bring along Slasher and Garland, since they both have CorSec experience.

But, back on Origin, Snipe comes up with a plan to gain more information on what is happening. The team decided to go to a party being held by some of Talon's old connections, so they all dress up and move out, trying to discover what exactly is going on - who is trying to ressurect the old trade routes of Talon and how does this tie into a man wanting a 22 year old CorSec weapon chip? However, the party is crashed by someone who seems to know the team is there and the enemy activites a black hole to get rid of them forever.

Also, Origin's forces, hurt in the fight to protect Origin, are trying to repair themselves for the next encounter. However, Eve is in Med Bay, injured while protecting Origin. As the others prepare to head to Facility 130, Ariel and Cheryl arrive again, after hearing about what happened to Katrina. And there's nothing quite like the anger of Ariel. Death Star and Ariel awkwardly meet up with each other again, having not seen each other since the reality crisis occurred. But they both have one thing to unite them now - to retrieve Katrina. So the team heads to Facility 130. The team arrives and they fight their way past the base's old defense systems and arrive inside it, where they discover something they never thought they would - The Ultimate Weapon project. The project that created Slasher and Dias. However, to everyone's surprise, they find a third project that Slasher and Dias didn't know about - a Project Genesis, the third part of the Weapons Project. And Project Genesis seems to be missing. The team is confronted by a scientist who claims he worked on Slasher and the Weapons Project, stating that the new leader of a new CorSec will use Project Genesis for his own means. And they learn that Talon's organizaton is nothing but a tool to refund CorSec so that it can expand and reclaim Earth once again, plus all of Earth's assets.
