Futuristic One Small Step (Space Exploration/Adventure RP)

"Sir, if we dive now I'll have to make course corrections mid-descent. I-" Iridescence tried to protest before the ship bucked again this time metallic groaning reverberating throughout the hull from the impact.
"Cy get on those turrets NOW!" She yelled interacting with the instruments and overriding all ship control to her. The ship jumped forward as she engaged thrust and brought it towards the planet.
"Understood." Cyclops agreed already seated in the gunner seat and splintering his hands to interact with all of the ship's weapon systems at once.
Iridescence brought the ship nose towards the surface of the planet and rerouted majority power to the heat shields.
"Alright, we're LITERALLY going in hot! Everyone buckle up and hang on tight, Cy intercept as many attacks as you can." With that she sped into atmosphere. Soon the frictional heat started to light up the bridge as it tore at the shielding. The mass of the ship started to grind and screech from the pressures.
"We're nonlinear!" She yelled grunting against the controls. "Activate reverse boosters and vector forward thrust to +15°!" She yelled to her, up until this point mentally unavailable, co-pilot.
"Planetside gun installations have opened fire on us, Captain." Cyclops relayed, with a calmness characteristic of a battle drone.

"Pilot, I'm detecting armed ships at our landing site!" Arabelle exclaimed.
 
"Oh God, what the fuck!" Iridescence exclaimed trying her hardest to safely change their heading.
"Belle....where am I going?" Asked straining in the fury of entry anticipating she was already figuring a new landing zone.
"Long range optics indicate they've dispatched interceptors, Captain." Cyclops chimed in.

"I'm changing the landing site," she said hurriedly. "EVERYONE HOLD ON!" She changed the coordinates and the ship veered sharply, hurling anyone who wasn't prepared into the wall.
 
"Everyone wh- OH JEEZ!" Shiekra was just about to ask what she heard before the ship veered and she was not prepared. "Well, its better than being blown up and shot at" She said to herself, picking herself up off the ground.

"Alright, quiet all comms and keep the shields at 100%." Tyr commanded, before laying a hand on Iri's shoulder.
"I need you to land us a cleanly as possible. We're in enemy territory, so it's best of we hide ourselves."

"Captain, if we land on top of, or near a hill, I can use a perception altering field to make the Aquarius appear to be terrain. With the available ambient energy, I can either shield the ship from scanners or from the naked eye, but not both." Arturius spoke across a private comm link to Tyr.

The ship's protest at the destabilized re-entry quiets down as Iridescence closes in and is able to slow down, having burned off a lot of their orbital inertia.
"Out of the fire and into the frying pan." she commented to the crew as now they had to worry about not being taken out by whoever it was that was attacking them. Now going much slower tighter turns weren't so stressing on the hull and she was able to bank hard towards Arabelle's new landing zone with ease.
"Captain, we're fast enough to outrun these in-atmosphere vehicles. I think we should cloak her from scanning and multispec. Once we land, I'll kill and cool the engines to try and avoid heat sigs." Iridescence said to Tyr as she steered the Aquarius at blistering speeds across the giant planet's surface. "Gonna drop a few map-missiles on our way. Their radar pinging might buy us some cover." she said cycling through another holographic menu and selecting the terrain mapping rockets for fire.
"I've identified 13 individual interceptors in pursuit, Captain, closing fast." Cyclops added from the gunner's seat.
"Closing? How? There's no way outer planet interceptors can compete with the Aquarius." Iridescence objected as she tried going a bit faster and focused harder on flying low.
"Arabelle, what do you have on this planet? Where the hell are we exactly?"

"This planet is mostly plains with some areas with dense forests. It's populated by smugglers mostly, but the people attacking us don't seem like smugglers."

"Cy, I need you to man the turrets and focus all firepower on the thirteen interceptors, but DO NOT fire unless they fire first or I give the order." The Captain ordered bringing up his own omni-tool and tapping into the ship's interface, before turning to face Artie.
"Art, I need all comms to be open. I'm gonna try and relay the message to these idiots so they get off our asses."
 
Delacare said:
"All comm links open, with an elevated relay priority, Captain. I'll reinforce the broadcast once you begin." Arturius replied almost instantly. In this state, the ship was basically an extension of his containment module.

Tyr patched himself into comms through his omni-tool, and lifted the orange, holographic screen to his mouth.
'ATTENTION: WE DO NOT MEAN YOU ANY HARM. WE ARE SCOUTER SHIP AQUARIUS FOR THE GALACTIC FEDERATION SERIAL NUMBER #0489915. DISENGAGE IMMEDIATELY, OR WE WILL BE FORCED TO RETALIATE \. IF TAKEN FIRE UPON, THE AQUARIUS WILL ASSUME FULL DEFENSIVE PROCEDURES AND WILL ATTACK.'

"I don't see why we don't just shoot them already," Bailey muttered to herself. "Captain, ground team will be ready to go as soon as we land. We'll be covered from heat signatures as well, our armor and weapons are modded and ready to go," Bailey informed him, before dismissing herself to go get ready even of they ended up not being sent out. It was a good idea to get ready anyway, a scout of two was always a good idea. Safety Hammer Safety Hammer
