Re: A FTL Fanfic: The Lost Outpost
A most riveting tale by far. The characters have been especially well-established as not your ordinary run-of-the-mill heroes. I especially like the part where the... I actually don't want to spoil it because it is just so engaging as a whole. But they certainly develop a great affinity with each other and form an unbreakable bond that helps them through the adversity brought before them.
Although I do have some qualms about the story's length. It doesn't go far enough in some areas I think and some plotlines look like they have potential but go nowhere and I think they could use some work before it becomes a great masterpiece. Then again, maybe those loose ends are left open for a sequel.
Overall a solid 8/10 and I'll recommend it to all my friends for a read. Great work! Hope to see more!
----------------------
OK, sarcasm aside, there's no real rush to making an FTL story. In fact, before I joined the forums, I had written about half a fanfic based off SmoothPapaJ's Ghosts of the Federation which I highly recommend to everyone.
Take your time and don't forget to capitalise your I's in I and I'm and don't be afraid to overuse certain literary things like semicolons; I have no idea how they're used properly, just like my use of the comma, and... ellipses...

A FTL Story: Stow Away
Chapter 1
Docked at the Federation Station
The Feel of the ground was odd.
I've never been so happy to feel grass.
And I've never been so happy to Watch the Last Rebellion fleet crash into some asteroids
What a weak death.
The Federation won, And i can go home.
Its not long until i wake from a dream that is far from reality.
And i don't have the most pleasant of waking.
I flew up smashing my head on the lower Bunk bed.
"Gah... Not another day goes by i don't wish for a better Cabin."
I approach the window looking down at the distant planet.
"X01-3, My family is resting as we keep this planet safe.
I seem to be staring into space and nothingness. I felt peaceful,
Yet that does not last either.
My Room mate begins complaining about stuff i don't care about. In fact sometimes i wish he was in an Enemy ship and i was at the
Weapon room.
A little of a harsh thought.
"Ugh i hate working at the Engine room, We have the worst Power core too! Never enough power for the engines always need-"
I walked out on him, He drives me insane all he does is complain.
I made sure my hair was nice and my uniform was clean, I felt like a hansom man, 24 Black hair 6'0''
Plus i need to be ready for our next assignment
I look over to the dialogue clock 10:00.
It hits be in the back of the head like a rock man throwing stones at me, I'm late for the assignment.
I rush down the hallway when i trip.
Smashing into my head i lay there staring up.
A blurred out Women stands above me.
A Human.
Oh no its the Captain.
"No time for resting Here on this cruiser we have some important missions to do." She said
"Also this is a walkway, Not a rest way." She Smirked Then walked over me
I'd stand Looking around hoping she was the only soul who saw.
Then i Followed her in for the next assignment.
End of Chapter 1
Chapter 2
Unwanted visitors
I stand Side by side with Other crew member.
They look like they are ready for every mission ever to be thrown at them
Fully armed, Pistol Holstered. Few men have laser Rifles slung over there shoulder.
And here i am with only my Uniform.
I try to focus on the Captain discussing with the... Other guy?
What is he a general? No he Commands fleets... I think.
Admiral? Thats what t'hey- My thought is Interrupted by the shouting of the captain.
Man she is Angry
"You're kidding me, your sending me to a beacon 3 sectors away. And worse about it YOU ARE SENDING US ALONE." She shouted
"L-Listen you have a larger crew then normal ships in the fleet y-" The Admiral was interrupted
"No that's Bull-"The Captain paused, She looks around at the crew then looked at me
She was disappointed.
I realized I was not standing straight. Wait was that the reason?
She continued "2 Bombers, That's all i ask"She pointed at the map. "You're sending us to an area where Federation Lacks control over."
"And as you see our Men are humans, I'd trade a handful of men for an Engi. " She raised her voice
Like a punch to the gut he glanced at few men then me.
"Fine just... Calm down and remember who you are talking to" The Admiral mention
"I will have well supplied Federation Bombers awaiting your launch." The Admiral sighed
"Its just we need the Rest of the fleet here, The Advancing Rebel fleet Is pushing on us hard lately And.-"
"2 Bombers that's it, they will be back in no time" She finished
The meeting was almost over.
Felt like hours.
I'm Hot and sweaty.
The man on my left smells like moldy cheese.
I wanted more adventure not stand around and listen, Or smell, This.
Sadly my wish came true
Not moments later an explosion rocked the station.
The lights flickered and went off
I panicked and ran out the door, Emergency lights were online.
When i looked out the window a Rebel fleet was Opening fire on the station.
I watched the cruisers detach to intercept there advancing.
3 Federation ships launched what looked like an Arsenal of Missiles and lasers.
Then the rebels struck back with Odd Tactics, They began to fly through the ships heading directly at the station.
No way there dead, our weapons will-. Spoke to soon
Another explosion from the station began. Our weapons powered down.
I ran down the Corridor.
"NEED TO FIND A SHIP" I screamed to myself.
The sliding door opened and I stumbled into A Cargo hold which caught fire.
An Explosion bursts through the wall causing a breach.
I quickly ran through the door before it sucked me out to the endless Gaps of space.
The station was beat up and the Federation lacked defense to keep them from docking.
Many Rebel ships blew through the hull entering.
I needed to find weapons before I become some Rebel slave.
The door did not open
"Come on this is the weapon room!" I exclaimed
I forced it open to find lack of guns.
I was odd when it came to choice of Weapon, my first choice would be a Knife, Or a non laser gun.
The only gun that caught my attention was this 308.Rifle.
I picked it up and loaded.
"Always wanted to bast some Rebellion scum to peaces." I mumbled
I realized that if i don't find a Way out of this dump i would- Well... Be a little dead.
I found the Camera room or, What ever its called.
Rebellion troops stormed all of the south part, And north.
I see a Federation ship open fire to a Fleeing rebel Fighter, Its engines blow to pieces, It is sent to the Western part of the station.
I braced for impact as the ship crashed into the station sending it into a fiery blaze.
The sound was loud, like a nuke being dropped outside your home.
I was scared. Not your average soldier but this, This is terrifying The only part the the Federation own (Or have) Is the Eastern part...
Oh Wait that's behind me. And its a docking bay.
The door opens and i see A few Docked ships. An Old damaged Kestral.
Federation bomber and a Federation Cruiser, I rush to the closest one the bomber.
The door slides open.
There is already a crew.
None o them ask me what im doing but they yell at me to prepare for launch.
I had no idea what the protocol is or what needed to be done.
But once the Airlocks opened and us and the cruiser detached And we entered the Dibree and ruins of Rebel and Federation ships.
And i saw the Blockade of A Rebel fleet in front of us
I knew.
Going home, Would not be on this crews mind.
End of Chapter 2
Chapter 3
Not so secret Stowaway
I stared at the growing rebel blockade.
"Oh my God, This Pilot is insane." I Sighed to myself
I'd burst into the Bridge. A Man was piloting and an Engi was Fixing a busted control panel.
The Pilot turned.
"We should be going the other way, I not play hero!" I Shouted
He quickly did some Evasive maneuvers as a missile flew past the Hull.
I stumbled and the Engi banged his head on the panel.
"Ow. You mind Stabilizing the ship, The FTL map will not be fixed other wise" The Engi complained.
"Um Hello?!" I Shouted
The pilot was angry now.
"EVERYONE SHUT UP." He yelled, And cursed In language I did not understand, Infact the engi looked offended so thats why i can tell
"Sir, Maybe not saying such language in a situation could assist in the current Route were may end up in . I know the new-" The Engi was inturrupted
"FIX THAT TERMINAL, And you" The pilot pointed at me. "Go fix the engines or some sh-"I inturrupted him
I Don't know how to do that"
The pilot stood up and pushed me out of the room.
A blast into the Bridge sent the pilot flying down.
He rushed back to the pilot system.
"I-Im good at combat" I Chipped in
"Then... GO AND SHOOT STUFF" He snarled
"But im not-" The door Slid closed And Locked itself.
"No Finishing Sentences today." I grumbled.
I looked around the Room I was in. Unslinging the rifle and placing it down.
The room was white. Orange lines ran through the walls.
A Picture frame used to hand on the walls but must of fell.
5 Men on the picture.
"Engi... That Dumb pilot...Human And." I stopped
Something felt odd.
I approached a different door
There were 3 set of steps, Walking down them i found a door with a Symbol on it.
I entered it and found one man covered Muck.
"No thanks i'd rather stay clean." I thought And quickly stepped back.
"Hey!" The man confronted me.
I turned. The only thing scary about this guy is his wrench in his hand and How dirty he was.
"You're not from around here, eh?"
I shacked my head. Then nodded.
Stowaway... Well for now I can use an extra hand, You know how to repair a Damaged reactor right?"He asked. "Umm what?" i said clueless
"Well how about you take that wrench and act like you know what you're doing." He Pointed to the wrench
"No, just- You can Make sure none of the fuel Pumps are broken." He mumbled
"I can hear you, you are loud, and I can try to don't worry."I Exclaimed.
I looked out the window, I realized why the noise of gun shots are gone
We jumped..
The Speakers blared "Everyone in the bridge now. We need to Diagnose the damage. And a new crew member.
End of Chapter 3
Chapter 4
Welcome to the Bulkhead
Everyone Entered the Bridge.
The Crew of this ship, Small but enough to get the job done.
I realized they were all watching me like a hawk.
Someone broke the silence "So, How did you get on here? Panicked, Wrong ship?." A girl asked.
"Well it was either this ship or the remains of the torn apart space station" I said trying to be funny about it.
"Well welcome aboard" The pilot grumbled.
* * *
Some time after he explained rules I probably should of known by know he Introduces me to the crew.
"Oh right, While you're here we should not make it feel like-" The Engi Chipped in "Like a Slug and his ship flying beside you? That course of action is horrid."
The pilot rolled his eyes, People with power really are not nice today.
"The man keeping this ship moving and online is Karrdo" He pointed to the man beside me
"The girl keeping aim at all enemy ships, Or makes sure the weapons are working if you don't get it, Eva"
"And I'm..." The pilot paused.
"Fine it's Alex." Alex mumbled.
Karrdo and Eva shaked my hand "Welcome to the Bulkhead" Eva said "Odd name i Replied back to her.
"Wait one more thing." I shouted and got everyone's attention.
Why did i say that? Well i regret what i was thinking here im very stupid sometimes
"So before the beacon we rested at was torn apart There was an assignment" I described how i remember it.
"The ship went off commes and they are sending ships to it, That means we can meet up with our fleet there. We saw some get away" Alex was interested.
"Why not Dock with-" Eva asked "Because we need our fleet it does not work like that." Alex Stated
Wow never knew that.
"Prepare to jump to this... Sector." The pilot said as he walked to the bridge.
"You guys can rest while i prepare." Alex Said on commes.
"Never seen him so excited before." Karrdo Looked concerned.
"Well follow me to the living quarters" He waved me down.
We entered the living quarters and saw Bunk beads.
First thought
"I CALL TOP" I Screamed and Rushed the bed.
Everyone began to laugh "On this ship the bottom bunks are the nicest." Eva mention Still laughing
"Well rest easy tomorrow i will show you The Opposite of breaking fuel pumps." Karrdo Laughed.
I was tired but i had so many questions ,where is the 5th crew member? Why is this ship called the bulk head?
Why is the pilot so angry. All the thought slowly drove me to bed.
Where I await another day.
End of Chapter 4
Chapter 5
Tricks, Traps, And Illusions
The Feel of Non-Artificial gravity; it feels like luxury.
The sight of my home city not taken by the rebel threat. It felt nice.
It felt fake.
As I sit on my hill Above the city a flash blinds me.
"What the -" I screamed
The city is on fire, In ruins Federation ships crash from above.
I screamed but i could not do anything. Rebellion ships do there bombing runs on any surviving Federation sympathizers.
I cried out to them. But it was all ignored no one cared. I had no power.
We had no Control.
The ground left scorched. The ships set ablaze rest on the cold ashes of whats left.
Whats left of sanity. Whats left of Federation occupation.
I woke breathing heavy. And sweating
It's just a dream I repeated to my self.
But i knew it was a lie;a tear went down face.
I wiped the tears off and got myself together.
"Oh how I hope she made it" I mumbled
The captain. Our old one. From what i remember of the station in pieces i doubt it.
She was probably the first ship to Dispatch, leading the defense front.
I tried to keep my mind off of it. I forgot about it when i got busy so maybe getting ready-.
"OOF!-" Yelled Karrdo as he fell.
Ugh I must of crashed into him.
"You okay?" I asked rubbing my still throbbing head.
"Yeah just- Getting a snack." He pointed out.
"Why are the light-" I paused its still night time. The captain and Eva are resting, as stay docked behind the astroid.
"Well now that you're awake" Karrdo continued. "This rock is known for crushing an entire space station.
Being sent to this Planet where it orbits."
"Rich in Miniral strong enough to block Even the strongest sensors."He smiled
"Why land here?" "It must be a gold mine..." I looked more concerned then I already did."
"Sector is too poor to have the Miners for it." He frowned.
"Mercs can't get here due to the war, Currently they are blocked off from this sector. We found a way through before Rebels met the fleet." He blabbed on about stuff
I did not care about.
"Well im gonna go." I pointed behind me
"Night." He waved and walked down into the darkness of the ship.
The floor of the ship was cold, this stone of ours is blocking out the sun. Should of packed slippers... Should of packed something.
I arrived at a door, lost in my current location.
I clicked the button
Woosh[i] It flew open
Looking around I saw my rifle and an open door to the bridge.
With the lights on
Alex was having a conversation.
I began to eavesdrop
Too quite i shuffled till only my eye can peek around
Getting used to the light I see somethings.
The Engi Deactivated and charging, I guess its locked here for ever.
The pilot communicating with someone.
Federation? Our old fleet?!
I listened.Then my Heart dropped as fast as a missile to a space station.
He is communicating with Rebellion Forces
"Yes we are having no troubles with travel, The crew follow my Loyalty but seem to like me less and less." Alex whispered loudly
"almost arrived at the station where we can finish the remaining fleet." He continued
"Good job, I wish to be ready to engage the remaining fleet. They will be weakened by our surprise attack." The Rebel said Firmly and confidently
Almost like he was a Officer... Or a highly disciplined soldier talking to the leader of the rebellion.
Heh leader of the rebels
Probably some savage slug for brains.
"And remember once we crush the rest of the fleet. We will Avenge your fallen partner." The Rebel Laughed
"Crimes don't go unpunished unlike that Federation."
"Let all Pesky scum Go through there Beacons."
"I want a plate of his god Damn hull as a trophy." Alex Raised his voice
He was pissed.
I found my self holding my rifle ready to shoot. But I don't know if it has a loaded mag in it or if its clocked
I lowered it sneaking away.
There may need to be an Unwanted mutiny soon enough
And I marched to the rest of the crew to tell them my find
End of Chapter 5
* Editor Note*
Hey guys, sorry for the year long abandonment. I got a new computer and I did not have FLT on steam at the time meaning I did not have a cloud save of it. Also my old computer caught fire so that was fun to panic about and after that I just kind of forgot about FTL but i'm back now.. Anyways expect some new Content to this story soon. Sorry!
Also, new name that is more fitting.
Docked at the Federation Station

The ground left scorched. The ships set ablaze rest on the cold ashes of whats left.
Whats left of sanity. Whats left of Federation occupation.
I woke breathing heavy. And sweating
It's just a dream I repeated to my self.
But i knew it was a lie;a tear went down face.
I wiped the tears off and got myself together.
"Oh how I hope she made it" I mumbled
The captain. Our old one. From what i remember of the station in pieces i doubt it.
She was probably the first ship to Dispatch, leading the defense front.
I tried to keep my mind off of it. I forgot about it when i got busy so maybe getting ready-.
"OOF!-" Yelled Karrdo as he fell.
Ugh I must of crashed into him.
"You okay?" I asked rubbing my still throbbing head.
"Yeah just- Getting a snack." He pointed out.
"Why are the light-" I paused its still night time. The captain and Eva are resting, as stay docked behind the astroid.
"Well now that you're awake" Karrdo continued. "This rock is known for crushing an entire space station.
Being sent to this Planet where it orbits."
"Rich in Miniral strong enough to block Even the strongest sensors."He smiled
"Why land here?" "It must be a gold mine..." I looked more concerned then I already did."
"Sector is too poor to have the Miners for it." He frowned.
"Mercs can't get here due to the war, Currently they are blocked off from this sector. We found a way through before Rebels met the fleet." He blabbed on about stuff
I did not care about.
"Well im gonna go." I pointed behind me
"Night." He waved and walked down into the darkness of the ship.
The floor of the ship was cold, this stone of ours is blocking out the sun. Should of packed slippers... Should of packed something.
I arrived at a door, lost in my current location.
I clicked the button
Woosh[i] It flew open
Looking around I saw my rifle and an open door to the bridge.
With the lights on
Alex was having a conversation.
I began to eavesdrop
Too quite i shuffled till only my eye can peek around
Getting used to the light I see somethings.
The Engi Deactivated and charging, I guess its locked here for ever.
The pilot communicating with someone.
Federation? Our old fleet?!
I listened.Then my Heart dropped as fast as a missile to a space station.
He is communicating with Rebellion Forces
"Yes we are having no troubles with travel, The crew follow my Loyalty but seem to like me less and less." Alex whispered loudly
"almost arrived at the station where we can finish the remaining fleet." He continued
"Good job, I wish to be ready to engage the remaining fleet. They will be weakened by our surprise attack." The Rebel said Firmly and confidently
Almost like he was a Officer... Or a highly disciplined soldier talking to the leader of the rebellion.
Heh leader of the rebels
Probably some savage slug for brains.
"And remember once we crush the rest of the fleet. We will Avenge your fallen partner." The Rebel Laughed
"Crimes don't go unpunished unlike that Federation."
"Let all Pesky scum Go through there Beacons."
"I want a plate of his god Damn hull as a trophy." Alex Raised his voice
He was pissed.
I found my self holding my rifle ready to shoot. But I don't know if it has a loaded mag in it or if its clocked
I lowered it sneaking away.
There may need to be an Unwanted mutiny soon enough
And I marched to the rest of the crew to tell them my find
End of Chapter 5
* Editor Note*
Hey guys, sorry for the year long abandonment. I got a new computer and I did not have FLT on steam at the time meaning I did not have a cloud save of it. Also my old computer caught fire so that was fun to panic about and after that I just kind of forgot about FTL but i'm back now.. Anyways expect some new Content to this story soon. Sorry!
Also, new name that is more fitting.
