**Military grade transformation energy signature detected**

     "Tell me again why we're here Mars"  Sailor Venus asked, looking a bit 
nervous.

     "We're here because Mercury found energy signatures almost identical to 
the ones we have while transformed"  Sailor mars responded, annoyance written 
on her face.

     "There might be something in that capsule that will tell us more about 
our past."  Sailor Mercury interjected.  "It may be able to help us in the 
future."

     **Energy signature at 300 clicks.  Initiating re-animation protocols**

     "So what you're saying Mercury,"  Sailor Jupiter stated, "is that whatever 
is in there should give us a advantage over whatever new enemy shows up?"

     "Exactly.  Even if it's nothing we can use as Senshi it may be enough to 
jog one of the cats memories."  Mercury responded.

     **Welcome back commander, full restoration in 5 minutes**
     
     ##Thank you computer, how long have I been under.  ##
 
     **Unknown, all of my systems excluding cryogenics went down 200 years 
after you and your unit went under.  At the time of shutdown you were 100 
years away from return and the time jump back to staring point.**

     ##Make an estimate at duration of shutdown.  ##

     **By comparing star charts, almost 3000 years.  Reactivation due to 
proximity of military grade transformation signatures.**

     ##3000 years....  ##

     **Door coding sequences are currently being probed by a level 3 
codebreaking routine**

     "So lets get in that thing and get out quickly, it's creeping me out."  
Sailor Moon whispered.  "I don't like it."

     "Math class creeps you out dumpling head."  Mars snapped at Moon.  
"Now be quiet while Mercury gets that door open."

     "I've almost got it.  Whoever designed the passlock coding on this pod 
was a genius.  It's about 1000 years older than technology produced at the end 
of the silver millennium and it's still holding up.  GOT IT!"

     "SSSSSHHHHHHH!!!!"  Four voices rang out.

     "Sorry"

     "Let's get in and get out.  One at a time.  Jupiter first, followed by 
Mercury, myself, Mars and Venus."  Moon commanded in an uncharacteristic turn.

     "Right,"  Mars acceded, a shocked look on her face.   "Let's get in there."

     **The door locks have been opened, shall I revive the rest of the squad?**

     ##Depends, what's the level of the transformations? ##

     **Four level 4 transforms, one level 7**

     ##Four security grade and one commander grade, most likely the power 
source.  But if 3000 years have passed how do we know if they're friendlys 
or not? ##

     "Oh my god, look at this!"  Mercury yelled.

     "What is it?"  Moon responded.

     "It's people.  All in some form of cryogenic suspension."

     "But how long have they been under?"  Jupiter asked.

     **Recommend feigning inactivity until able to procure more information.  **
	
     ##Negative, as soon as one of them gets close enough I'll grab them and 
then ask the questions.  ##

     "Are they still alive?"  Venus asked, bending over to look at one of the 
men.  "They look..."  She trailed off as the man she was looking at opened his 
eyes and looked at her.  Faster than she could see he jumped up and had her in 
a choke hold just light enough to keep her trapped.

     "Captain Argot, commander of the outsystem exploration squad.  Give your 
name, rank and serial number now!"  Argot yelled, keeping the other four Senshi 
in his sight.

     "Let her go you son of a bitch!"  Jupiter yelled, an electrical charge 
building on her forearms.

     "Computer!"  Argot yelled.  "Initiate emergency power down procedures at 
once and begin reanimation of Number One!"

     **Yes Commander** The mechanical voice replied.  Seconds later the Senshi, 
with the exception of Moon, began to power down.  They were startled at the 
loss of Senshi form.

     "What did you do to them?"  Sailor Moon yelled, glancing at the man who 
was beginning to stir.

     "You must be the commanding officer for this security squad.  This is 
my ship, I have authorization to force power down up to a level six 
transformation."  The de-transformed Senshi were silent.  Shocked at the ease 
they had been made powerless.

     "Skipper?"  A voice rose from one of the cryo tubes.

     "Yeah, Christo.  Good to see you again."

     "How long have we been out?"

     "An estimated 3000 years."

     "Shit!  Imagine the back pay."

     "No time for jokes now Number One.  We have a forced entry from a security 
squad and I have no information at all.  See it you can tap into whatever is 
left of the military database on Io and get me some answers."


     This is an idea that has been bouncing around in my head for a few months.
The gist of it is the Senshi started out as a paramilitary security force for 
the royal family.  They started out with military grade transformations which 
were eventually phased over to the fukus which were in style with girls the 
princesses age for her personal guard.  Due to the mandatory enlistment of 
members of each planets royal families into the guard it eventually evolved 
into the firstborn daughter of each family taking over the duties on her 13th 
birthday.  Over a thousand years of service the Senshi were phased down to just 
the personal guard for the royal family and a few others, also the origins were 
forgotten after the disbanding if the military once peace had been expanded to 
all planets in the galaxy.  Now a military force that has been in suspended 
animation for long before the fall of the silver millennium have fallen to 
earth.  How will the Senshi deal with people who outclass them in power and 
are able to shut down all but Sailor Moon's transformation.  And what happens 
when another group who didn't fare as well in cryogenic sleep shows up?  Can 
we say trouble?  I know you can...


Future scenes

     "Private Jupiter!  Let's see what you can do!  Give me a full height jump 
and strike that target with your strongest attack!  Private Mercury, while she 
is doing that give me a reading of her levels!"

     "Yes sir"  Jupiter and Mercury responded.  Jupiter proceeded to jump to 
the roof of the barracks building that had been built for the training and 
from the top of the arc she destroyed that target with her strongest attack.

     "Pretty good hey Sarge?"  She beamed, hoping for a good review.

     "Mercury, give me the readings for both aspects of the privates display."

     "She has a physical level of 1300 and an energy level of 2100."

     "Good.  Now track me."  The Sergeant proceeded to throw a small group of 
punches in the air and followed it up with what seemed to be a beam of darkness 
that destroyed the target next to the one Jupiter had taken out.  "Report!"
 
     "You have levels of 900 physical and 1300 energy.  But, how did you beat 
Jupiter when you sparred with her this morning?"

     "Because girls"  A voice from behind the Senshi sounded out,  "Even if he 
is not as powerful as you he has much more training than you.  Much more use of 
his power in combat situations."  

     "Thank you General!"  The sergeant barked, snapping into a salute.

     "At ease sergeant."  Sailor Pluto said with a grin.

     "It is good to see you are still alive General.  Even if you are forced 
to wear the uniform of these glorified baby-sitters."  The sergeant smiled.

     "Good to see you too little brother."
