3PS - Radecliffe

[Radecliffe]

Ree grew up knowing nothing other than slavery and servitude. It never occurred to her that she could have anything different. All that changed on a fateful mission to hunt down a pair of runaway slaves. Ree was taunt with anticipation as they closed in on the fugitives trapped in the canyon. Even with her radar like senses, however, the storm took her and the others completely by surprise. Ree hung on for dear life as the barge lurched under her and slammed into the canyon wall. Fortunately Ree was thrown clear as the barge hit the ground, saving her life. When she came to her entire body hurt. She could instantly sense that the storm had abated and it only took a bit longer to determine that she was the only one to survive the crash.

For a moment Ree felt only loss as she was alone for the first time in her life. Scouting the area she found the camp of the fugitives they had been hunting. Once again another new feeling came over her. She did not want to return to Atlantis and her life of servitude. Everyone else was dead. No one knew where she was or even if she was alive. Perhaps she could convince these two that she was no longer a threat to them and perhaps even an ally.

Background
Flynn's eyes narrowed and his hand sought the hilt of his blade automatically. True it was just one of them but just one Altera was bad enough. He had spent years enslaved to the Slugorth, fighting in their pits as a gladiator and he would die before going back. What happened next caused Flynn to briefly doubt his sanity. The Altera was disarming herself! Once she had removed everything other than her skinsuit she moved away from her weapons and sat down and waited impassively.

After a few minutes the woman spoke. "I mean you no harm. My master is dead and so are all the others. I do not wish to return to that life." With that the woman returned to waiting silently. Next to him Doc stirred and then started when he realized they were not alone. Flynn motioned for him to be still and wait to see what happened. Flynn began to speak with the Altera trying to see if he could bring himself to trust her or not. The longer they talked the more he began to believe in her sincerity. It was getting dark when Doc chimed in "I think she's on the level." and before much longer a duo became a trio.

Doc had always been unusual for an Ogre. First of all you don't see many that prefer tinkering with gadgets over bashing some heads together. What was even more unusual about Doc was the fact that he was showed proficiency with combining magic and technology. Unfortunately it's also what drew the Splugorths' attention. They loved oddities and loved selling them to the highest bidder even more. Fortunately for Doc he met the famed gladiator Flynn not long after his arrival and they stuck up an unlikely friendship. A friendship that quickly turned into an escape attempt.

Group Background

The way that Doc, Flynn and Ree met wasn't all that unusual though the normal result usually would involve a lot of blood and death. You see, Doc and Flynn were escaped slaves and Ree was one of the Altera Warrior Women assigned to the barge tasked with bringing them in dead or alive. The barge tracked the fugitives all the way to what had once been the American Southwest. It was a fateful day when Doc and Flynn found themselves cornered in a blind canyon and the barge closing in. Suddenly a massive haboob blew up out of nowhere and within moments the barge was engulfed in a howling windstorm filled with dust and sand.

Ree and the others on the barge were utterly disoriented by the sudden onslaught and it swerved drunkenly to the side colliding with the canyon wall before crashing to the ground in flames. Believing all to be dead on the barge Doc and Flynn took shelter nearby to wait out the storm. Ree awoke to find herself the only survivor of the slaver barge shortly after the storm had passed. Scouting the area Ree found Doc and Flynn's campsite but rather than attack she stood a short distance away and slowly and diliberately removed her Forearm Blasters, her Talisman and finally her helmet and simply waited. Eventually a conversation started and after many hours Ree convinced them she had no desire to return to Atlantis.
