"Reaper one, one to command." "This is command. Send your traffic Reaper one, one." "The second package has been retrieved, though we met with heavy resistance. Reaper team one is down. I'm the only one left. Space Station Destiny has been destroyed." "Copy that Reaper one, one. What's your status?" "I've secured the package in a cryo-escape pod before Destiny went up in flames. Not much time before cryo sleep kicks in. Beacon has been activated." "Copy that. A recovery team will be dispatched ASAP. Skeleton Crew has recovered the first package and are awaiting extract. Once they are secure, they will be sent for your recovery. If Destiny is destroyed, Gamma quadrant has been compromised. A normal recovery mission cannot be risked. How copy? "Good copy command. We'll be waiting." "Enjoy your sleep Reaper one, one. Command out." -------------------------- This was my actual first image with my home-made Reaper Team face paint. I've since tweaked the character to my previous posting of Reaper01. This image was done for a space image challenge at RuntimeDNA in the Aldara Project gallery. I figured it's time to put it up here since the story runs alongside Skeleton Crew.
