((I think netflix has it. I may be wrong though.))
-
((Thanks! I'll be sure to check it out!))
-
Acon strode down the street of the city she stopped in after a visit to the neighboring planets. Her thumbs were stuck into her waist band and she moved her hips lazily as walked. The cigarette between her lips was slowly shortening as she took in puff after puff.
-
((Checked Netflix, and that was a nope. It costed money on amazon, and that was ANOTHER nope.))
Leon, sitting outside in a bar, saw Acon walking, and eyed her. She looked good.two arms, two legs, two eyes, two ears! Two's the magic number! And plus, she had a cute butt to boot! so, he decided I might try and get some!
With that, he stood up, and whistled after her.
-
((Dang! Mayhaps hulu?))
Acon turned when she heard the whistle and smiled at Leon. She winked and flipped some hair from her face. "Well, hello to you too."
-
((can I join in?))
-
((My mom doesn't want me watching it xp))
"Hey there!" He says, trying to look as attractive as possible "what's your name?"
-
((Does a horse say nay? Of course you can join!))
Acon pursed her lips and sauntered up to Leon with a smile as sweet as sugar. She bat her eyelashes and placed her paws on her hips. "Acon, and you?"
-
"Leon." He says, trying not to let his eyes wander. And it was hard!
-
Acon's smile grew wider and she took a step closer. "Nice to meet you... Leon." She said his name with a flick of her tongue over her lips.
-
"Looks like we're the only damn things with two of everything on this street! And one of us is pretty dam cute!" He say, smiling and giving a short laugh
-
Acon giggled. "Well, we are on a foreign planet. We're bound to bring some diversity." She took yet another step closer to Leon, but this time, she started messing with the bottom hem of his shirt.
-
He shrugs "well, I'm stuck here until I can buy passage off... You know a way I could do that?" He says, noticing her quite obviously fiddling with his shirt
-
Acon tilted her head in thought. "I have a ship. Why don't I just take you? Of course I'll require a small fee." She chuckled.
-
"What type of fee?" He asks, giving a smirk "If you're thinking what I'm thinking, then hell yes!"
-
Acon grinned and gave Leon a slight wink. "Good. Everybody wins."
-
Leon gave a smirk in return "I guess this makes me a part of your 'crew', eh?"
-
(( acon could you make an OOC thread for this please?
-
Acon laughed and pinched Leon's cheek. "Of course it does!"
-
((If that is your bidding, my love, it shall be done!!))

-
"Well, I'm sure it will be an experience worthy of even grandchild's ears." She laughed and turned, motioning for Leon to follow.
-
Leon laughed as well, and followed "might they be... Our grandchildren?" Behind her, he snuck a few peeks at her body.

-
Acon went back to swinging her hips the way she had before. "Perhaps. Depending on where tonight takes us." She shot a sly grin back at Leon.
-
"Ah... So our grandchildren, then? Cos I'm gonna do my damnedest to make sure that's where it takes us!" He gives a short laugh, shooting a sly grin back at her
-
Acon giggled. "Our grandchildren it is then."
-
Aakor walks in and goes over to lee "hey. Sorry to interrupt but do either of you know where I can find some bounties?"
-
Acon turned to Aakor and smiled. "At every plane information center, there is a bulletin board with bounty listings all over them. Or you could turn on a radio or tv and listen for them."
-
"Yerp." He says to Aakor "should be some bounties there... I haven't had enough funds nor the ability to go bounty hunting in a long while."
-
Hiyate, walks up behind the group. "Um, excuses me, but are you bounty hunters?"
-
Acon turned to the newest addition of the group and nodded. "Yes we are."
-
Aakor turns around try's to calmly say "I have no idea bout these two but yeah I am." Instead it comes out as "I don't have a clue about these two but yeah I am. Why do you ask?"
-
"Oh, fantastic! I need your help! It's my sister she's been taken! Please you need to help me." Hiyate began to cry
-
Acon cracked a grin at the newest addition to the group. "Why yes, we are."
-
Leon shied away, staying as far as he could while still patting him on the head "well, I uh... I guess we could try and help, if ya want!"
-
"Ahh... Where was the last place she was seen?" Aakor asks with a tone to his voice that indicates that he is confused.
-
Hiyate breaks into a large smile "Thank you! Thank you so much! She went missing and her last coordinates were from the X-10-yb planet." still crying with tears of happiness
-
"Now wait a minute. How much will we get if we find her?" Acon asked with her paws on her hips in a way that said she wasn't doing anything without pay.
-
Leon shrugged, and stood next to Acon "yeah... I'd like some pay out of this... And I'm going with her regardless!"
-
"half a million creds and I'll give you another half million on with her safe return back here" Hiyate says with a serious look on his face "Oh, and I'm coming too"
-
Aakor turns to acon "really? Your that kind of bounty hunter?"
-
Acon smiled at Aakor. "Hell yeah, I'm that kind of hunter! Now, let's go find this girl!"
-
"Great! Can I ask your names" Hiyate says smiling
-
"The name's Acon, sweet cheeks." She introduced herself with a wide smile.
-
"Leon." He says, tipping an imaginary hat "nice to meet ya!"
-
Aakor turns with a disapproving look back to hiyate "mine's Aakor. don't worry about paying me. I only take a bounty for the thrill and honour of helping" he then walks over to the door.
-
Hiyate suddenly becomes more serious "Are you really Leon? Leon Naismith?"
-
"Ah... Yup." He says, confused "why?"
-
"Oh, it's my sister! She says that you were amazing when you helped her. I'm so blessed!" Hiyate says smiling
-
"So we using my ship or traveling some other way?" Aakor asked over his shoulder standing in the doorway.
-
Acon scoffed. "We're using MY ship."
-
"Uh... What's her name?" He says, vaguely remembering some woman from a long time ago... Maybe her name would jog his memory.
-
"Well what kind of ship is it?" He asked
-
Acon narrowed her eyes. "It's a wonderful vessel that's capable of handling anything light speed can throw at er."
-
"Ugh. Light speed why not use a wormhole generator? Mine has one." He says questioningly. "...and a lot of weapons and armour" Aakor says under his breath.
-
"Her name is Marissa." Hiyate says happily
-
Acon whipped around and punched Aakor square in his nose. "Dis my ship again and I'll f**k you up." She hissed.
-
"Right, right yeah... Marissa from Essex V, right?"
-
"Yes! That's her!" Hiyate lit up with excitement
-
Aakor stood still and did nothing but look at acon with an expression that could only be read as 'what the actual f**k was that for' then gestured with his left paw to her and looked at hiyate with his nose bleeding and walked out of the door.
-
Hiyate looking back at Aakor then to Acon then back to Aakor. "Hey mister Aakor, your nose is bleeding."
-
"Right. Nice girl, her. Pretty, too." He pauses for a moment, chuckling "and believe me, I got to know her!"
-
"Um if you don't mind... can we get going?" Hiyate said poking his fingers
-
Acon let out a heavy breath through her nostrils before she turned to Leon and pointed at him. "Let's go, we have a job to do." She started off towards the 'ol Ricky Danger. "We'll have your girl in no time." She called over her shoulder at Hiyate.
-
"Or a quarter of my share back!" He says, following after Acon towards her ship
-
Hiyate follows closely behind them
-
Aakor shouted over his shoulder "I know my nose is bleeding. You can tag along in my ship if you like. I'm not going in the same ship as acon. Rather not have my nose busted for asking a simple question." He then started to jog to his class 5 carrier with the same patterns and colour scheme as his outfit but darker.
-
"Thanks for the offer, but I'm going to sit with Acon" he leans in and whispers "I don't want to be punched"
-
Acon led Leon and Hiyate to a wide, black vessel that was obviously old and had taken a few beatings. She smiled at it with pride. "Here she is, boys! Ol Ricky Danger."
-
"Huh." He said "good ship, that. Especially with you piloting it!" He gives a slight chuckle, looking forward to later.
-
Aakor booted up his ship and brought it over to the 'ol Ricky danger. Underneath his ship it had some text in black that read 'the shadow before dawn' along with two rail guns and three long range missiles.
-
In the ship Hiyate pulled out a small cube and held it close to his check "We'll find you I promise" he said to himself.
-
Acon beamed up at her ship and passed a sideways glance to Aakor's. "I hope you like the taste of dust!" She chuckled before climbing into her beloved treasure and seating herself at the controls. She placed her aviators over her eyes and smiled wickedly. "Get ready, boys!" Acon positioned the ship to face the sky and readied for take off.
-
Leon quickly strapped himself into a station char, readying himself for a light-speed jump.
-
Hiyate, sat beside Leon. "Hey Leon, I was wondering if I could take to you in private sometime. It's about my sister..."
-
The Ricky Danger roared to life before it shot up into the sky like a bullet for a target. Acon tweaked and pulled a few objects before the ship was gone in a flash, only to end up in another location. There, the ship slowed to a steady speed.
-
"Sure." Leon said to Hiyate "what about may I ask, perchance?"
-
The shadow before dawn fired both of it's rail guns and somehow opened a wormhole in front of it then flied into it.
-
Acon turned to the two and smiled. "Feel free to make yourselves at home." The ship was decorated with trinkets from all of Acon's travels. The soft rug in the ground bunched as a small dog padded across it. The inside of the Ricky Danger was really just like a single woman's apartment.
-
"Heh..." Leon says to Acon "let's get started on making those grandchildren, yeah?"
-
"it was a message she told me to tell you if I found you", Hiyate said smiling "but it can wait, you two have fun! I'm going to look around"
-
The small husky yipped from where he lay and wagged his tail. Acon smiled and shrugged. "If you wish." She stood and lifted her goggles so they would hold back her hair.
-
Aakor had already arrived at hiyate's sister's last known position. He was sat on the roof of his jet and looked quite the opposite of happy.
-
The Ricky Danger pulled up beside Aakor and Acon looked out to him from her window. "You take Hiyate and start nosing around. I have some... things I need to get done around the ship first."
-
"I'm sorry, but I have other plans first." Hiyate said pulling up his stun sword "Now Leon, are you going to come with me?"
-

-
"I...uh... I have some...stuff I have to do first." He turned, and left to find Acon
-
((Oopsies! Sorry Ray!))
Acon turned to Hiyate. "Uh... I have a feeling this is gonna end badly."
-
"I already had a nose around. There's not much..."
-
Hiyate sealed the door, and lifted his sword toward Leon "This will only take a second, then you can go have your fun"

"Now how about you pay up?" Hiyate smirked "My sister says you own her."
-
"Ah... Fine." Leon says, turning around togas hiyate "What's it?"
-
Ray stepped out of his little hovel, and decided he'd try and get work. He pinged the net, waiting for someone to give him a job. In the meantime, he began cleaning each of his weapons, methodically, mechanically.
((I don't blame you, Acon. I wasn't paying attention. By the way, I lerbed Cowboy Bebop.))
-
"I'm sorry..." Leon says, confused "own her?"
-
"Do you remember what happened during the job my sister hired you for? Hiyate ask get worked up, his eyes now changing from yellow to purple
-
"Uh..." He says "no, I do not."
-
"On that job you were sent to take care of some stalker that were threatening my sister's life!" Hiyate began to cry "You did a good just but you left some, and they followed her home! THEY KILLED OUR PARENTS AND RAPED HER!!! I CAN NEVER FORGIVE YOU!!!" Hiyate yelled lunging at Leon
-
Acon checked her offerings for a job on the Ricky Danger and found a application that caught her eye. She smirked and responded.
-
Hiyate sung his sword down hard at Leon "IT'S TIME FOR YOU TO PAY!"
-
Ray's computer sang, and he smiled. After ascertaining the location of the nearest spaceport, he climbed into his aero-car, and drove off.
-
"Fahkin hell!" Leon yells, just barely scrambling out of the way of his blade
-
Acon turned her head to the back room and raised brow. The little husky stood at the door, barking like crazy. She suspected something naughty. "Are you two ok in there?" She called.
-
"No!" He yelled out "he's trying to kill me!"
-
Hiyate stuck out his hand "STOP MOVING! TAKE YOU PUNISHMENT LIKE A MAN" suddenly pipes began to burst as they flew toward Leon
-
"God no!" Leon Screamed, scrambling out of the way of another swing "I'm not stupid!"
-
Acon heard pipes and she was quick on her feet. She ran to the door and tried ripping it open. "Hey!! Don't mess up the Danger!" She yelled.
-
Ray pulled into the space port, and took the quickest shuttle to the Ricky Danger. After a few minutes, he found himself in the airlocks between the Danger and the shuttle.
-
Hiyate pulled out his plasma rifle "I hate to use this, I always like to kill someone slowly" he aimed and fired some shots at Leon
-
Leon quickly ducks behind, and overturns a metal table. His rifle then proceeds to re-assemble itself, and he was ready for business.
-
Acon couldn't believe this. They were going to mess up the Danger. She started kicking at the door, something are really didn't want to do. "Don't blow holes on her!"
-
Hiyate swung his empty hand and the table went flying in that direction "STOP HIDING!"
Post Merge: November 04, 2014, 01:36:36 AM
he fired some more shots
-
Acon heard someone about to bored the Danger and turned to quickly open the door and pull the applicant inside.
-
"Oh sh*tohsh*tohsh*t!" He whimpered, just barely avoiding several of hiyate's blows
-
Hiyate lunged out and swung his sword again downwards then sharply to the left
-
The sword had nicked Leon in the shoulder, almost making him fall over.
-
"I grow tired of this combat... If I must I'll collapse this entire ship on to you and me" Hiyate said starting to glow purple "If it mean killing myself to finally avenge my family." Hiyate spoke without emotion
-
Leon lifted his rail gun, and fired a shot at hiyate, hoping that that would kill him.
-
Acon gasped when she heard this. "Oh hell no!" Acon quickly ran into her bedroom and brought out a thin robot that closely resembled Sunny from irobot.
-
The ship began to creak, Hiyate yelled out "IT'S TIME TO DIE YOU BAST*RD! DODGE THIS!!!" the sound on snaps and metal bending could now be heard.
-
Acon panicked and flipped a switch on the thin robot. "Polly, kill him!" She ordered. The robot's face turned red and opened his mouth to fire non stop round after round of lead through the door.
-
"Crap!" Hiyate turned around throwing both hands forward stop then rounds mid-flight and if they were stunk in any invisible wall. Hiyate continued to panic "damn it, I don't know how much longer I can last." he said to himself
-
Leon fired three extremely high-velocity metal balls at hiyate, hoping that it would weaken the shield he was holding up.
-
The ball hit the shield so fast that the impact cause Hiyate to slide back a little. Hiyate know sweating and gasping fired, with what little strength he had left, the captured projectiles back outward. And with that he collapsed to his knees sweat pour from his face like water from a tap. The purple glow faded away.
Post Merge: November 04, 2014, 02:11:22 AM
The blast of projectiles destroyed the robot and Hiyate smirked before going unconscious
-
"I don't like him." Leon said quite simply, giving him a nudge with his foot "not one bit."
-
Polly began rebuilding himself as Acon walked into the room. "F**her tried destroying my ship."
-
"And not to mention, me...." He says, giving him another nudge
-
Acon nodded. "Yeah yeah. That too."
-
Leon shrugs "I say we space him."
-
Hiyate moaned, his eyes slowly opening
-
Acon sneered. "We should strip him and dump him somewhere."
-
"In space, preferably."
-
Acon shrugged. "Sure."
-
"Cool." He says, grabbing his feet "where's the nearest airlock?"
-
"do what you want... I didn't avenge her and I couldn't find her... I'm worthless." Hiyate muttered
-
"See!" Leon says "even he wants us to do it! Space him!"
-
"Oh Leon, one last thing, If you see my sister... tell her that I'm sorry I was to weak" Hiyate closed his eyes once more prepare to embrace his fate
-
Acon thought a moment. "Wait... we have to find her atleast. I need money for groceries."
-
"True." He says "but keep him locked up, I say... Can't have him trying that stuff again."
-
Aakor's voice came over the radio "I do have a few holding cells on my ship you know? I could leave him in one to chill out."
-
"Cool." I say into the radio "yeah, do that."
-
Acon nodded. "Ok. He needs a good cool down."
-
"Opening the transfer doors now. Just drop him in. I'm off to go sleep." He said over the radio.
-
Acon pushed Hiyate in and brushed off her paws for a job well done. She turned to the fur that was applying for the ship. "So... that happened."
-
Ray smirked, as he watched the events unfold. "Seems a tad unruly, this crew." He rounded on his heel, and looked at Acon. "You require my services?"
-
Leon stood, his hands politely behind his back. Acon was technically the captain of this ship, and he would treat her as such while on business maters.
-
Acon rapped a claw to her teeth as she studies him. "What can you do?"
-
Ray held up a gloved paw, extending one finger. "Silly me. I forgot my stuff." He opened the doors, and took his luggage. The shuttle sped off, and Ray knelt, checking over everything in the bag. He shrugged. "Eh, whatever needs done." He looked up sheepishly. "T-This is my first assignment."
-
Acon tapped her foot on the ground, waiting for a special skill or something. Polly joined the group after tightening the last screw.
-
Ray continued, slightly embarrassed. "Um...w-well. I-I'm not a bad shot...I can cook, clean, drive..." He hoped she wouldn't ask about his past work.
-
Acon shrugged and knelt down in front of Ray. "Hmm... normally, I'd ask about previous employment, but I have a feeling it was something cool enough to remain undiscussed."
-
Ray flinched. "Y-Yeah...c-cool..."
-
Acon duckfaced a moment before she stood. "Sweet, you start today! Welcome to the 'ol Ricky Danger!"
-
Leon, his paws still behind his back, offered a congratulatory smile "Welcome aboard!"
-
Ray nodded, and stood. "T-Thank you." He walked towards where the fight had broken out, and scratched his head. Some stress fractures, I can probably spot-weld those. A few missing bolts, so not much.
-
Acon grinned and turned to Polly. "Go help him, would ya?" The robot nodded and followed Ray into the back room.
-
Hiyate, before being transported turn to Acon and said "I can help fix the ship and I'll pay you for the damages I caused"
-
Ray closed the door behind Polly, and nodded. "Nice. You're a very helpful automaton model. Please, can you give me a blowtorch, and some six centimeter bolts?"
-
Polly nodded with a wide grin on his face. He went off ti fetch the suppliers Ray needed and returned shortly. "Here you are!" You said in a kind voice with a hint of an English accent.
-
Ray nodded, and smiled. "Thanks." He put on a pair of protective goggles, and began working. In the back of his mind, Ray hoped the captain wouldn't come in. He hated himself for not following in his brother's footsteps, and becoming a mercenary outright. As he worked, Ray spoke to Polly. "Can I tell you something?"
-
He nodded and sat on his knees beside Ray. "Of course, sir. Anything."
-
Ray sighed, as he moved to the next weld. "First, none of this 'sir' business, I'm Ray. Second...it's about my past. The captain mustn't know...no one but me and you, okay?"
-
Polly nodded his understanding made a mental note to not breath a word of this to his captain. "Yes, sir."
-
Ray sighed. "It's Ray." After a few moments, he began welding another fracture, and spoke. "Okay...so I just became a mercenary...like today. I...umm...I used to be an engineer. On...on a cargo freighter. I'm probably a lousy shot, and I've never killed anyone." He stopped welding and looked at Polly. "S-So...t-that's my secret."
-
Polly raised a brow with a tight smile. "Oh my."
-
Ray took off his goggles. "Please...d-don't tell the captain." He started placing the bolts back into place, binding the pipes together.
-
Polly nodded and a motion over his lips as if to zip them shut. "Not a word."
-
Ray patted his paws together. "Good." He opened the door and stepped out. "Captain?"
-
Acon turned to Ray and smiled. "Yup?"
-
Ray bowed slightly. "Your robot fixed up the damages. I thought you should know." He knelt, and hoisted his bag to his shoulder. "W-Where are my quarters?"
-
Acon made a wide sweeping gesture to the living area and loft above. "Anywhere you put your shit."
-
Ray nodded, and put his bag in the corner. He mentally went over how to build his Anti-material rifle, as he pulled it out. After a few moments, he sat with the rifle in his paws, as he polished the receiver.
-
Acon watched Ray from where she sat with a smirk and raised brow. "I think we should celebrate the two newest additions to the Danger crew!"
-
Leon pokes his head around a corner "Do I smell booze? If I smell booze, then whatever it is, hell yeah!"
-
Ray reached into his bag, and pulled out a bottle of high proof whisky. "W-Well...I can spare some, I guess...though it's supposed to be used for polishing."
-
Acon shook her head. "No no, gentleman! I have a gift card for... BOOBIES!!"
-
Ray sighed, and mentally kicked himself. Another lie to the captain...He didn't want to complicate things with his sexual orientation, or lack there of. "Oh! O-Oh g-good."
-
"Woohoo!" Leon yelled, pumping a fist "boobies! And booze! Haha! You guys just made my month!"
-
"GOOD FOOD AND ALCOHOL!!" Acon yelled, hopping into the pilot's seat and preparing for take off.
-
Ray huddled in the corner, and sighed. He hid his displeasure with their next 'adventure'.
-
"AL CO HOL!" He said, hopping into the copilot's chair "BOOBIES!"
-
The ship shot forward at a blinding speed to their destination.
-
Ray slid forward slightly, as the ship stopped at their destination. He shook slightly, and stood, as he gulped. "W-Well...L-Let's get started." Ray stood with his arms behind his back, waiting for the captain to exit.
-
Acon slipped out of her seat and waited at the door for Polly. He began bouncing up and down as he got closer. Acon soon did the same, then they began chanting. "Boobies, Boobies Boobies BOOBIES BOOBIES!!"
-
Leon chanted along with Acon and Polly, bouncing up and down in time with them.
-
"YEAH!!" Acon said like a football player ready to crush his opponents. She flung the door open and was greeted by women of all species. Human, furry, alien, you name it. "Hiya, ladies!" She shouted. "Hi captain, Lovien!" They answered.
-
"HEEEELLLOOOOO LADIES!" Leon shouts, charging after Acon
-
The women flocked over Leon and Ray. They pinched their cheeks, poked them, tugged on their ears and tails.
-
Boobies had most definetly lived up to it's name! Big breasted babes everywhere! Leon was in heaven!
-
Ray sat in a corner booth, uncomfortable as one could be. He really felt out of place. Both the first mate, and the captain are having a wonderful time, and the captain's a woman! Why...why am I this way? Ray rolled a a small silver cylinder under his paw.
-
The women hung off of Leon, asking all kinds of questions. "What's your name? What's you favorite color? Are you single?"
Polly noticed Ray and made his way up to him. "You don't enjoy Boobies, sir?"
-
Ray flinched, and turned towards the bot. "N-No...I never even got your name. What is it?" He kept his eyes locked on the table, trying not to draw attention. But with his suit, and air? Not likely, Ray gave himself another few moments of privacy, before the women noticed him.
((I'll have to call it here, friends. Goodnight all!))
-
"My name's Leon!" He said, a dumb grin plastered onto his face "blue, and yes!"
((Goodnight ray!))
-
As Hiyate awoke from his nap, I began to remember the predicament he was in. "Hello! Is anyone there? I'm bored and just want to talk!" he yelled though knew the chances were high that no one would respond.
((sorry but as amusing as this is I can hep giggle a bit when I read these posts, well I guess I'll call it a day as well considering the only other two on right now hate my character :P))
-
((Night, sweet prince.))
"I am Polly." He smiled brightly.
The girls giggled and continued poking and pinching Leon.
-
((Yeah... I think I'm gonna call it too. It's getting late and I wanna go sneak some time on space engineers. But I look forward to boobies tomorrow!))
-
Aakor woke up from his sleep and stumbled into the holding cells wearing nothing but a pear of black combats with a cup of coffee in one paw and with the other he lazily waved as he was half asleep. "Ugh... I'm not a morning person. Coffee?" He offered the cup to hiyate with a bad attempt at a smile.
-
"Um, thank you." Hiyate grabs coffe from Aakor. He slowly took a sip from the cup while looking at Aakor's boots but really sure wear the appropriate place was to look. "So this is your ship? It looks nice." Hiyate says awkwardly trying to start conversation.
-
Ray nodded at Polly. "Nice to meet you, Polly." He shrunk back, as another group of women passed by.
-
Acon stumbled out of the crowd and spotted Ray and Polly. She ran up to them with a smile. "Hey!"
-
Ray flinched, but then waved. "Captain." His eyes darted around, trying to keep an eye on the roving bands.
-
Acon knelt bedside Ray and crossed her thin arms over her chest. "So... how are you enjoying the atmosphere?"
-
Ray forced a smile. "L-Loving it..."
-
Acon knelt by Ray and cracked a wider smile. "Another lie?"
-
Ray blinked. "W-What? N-No...I...I..." He sighed. "Yes...When'd you find out?"
-
Acon laughed and tapped her temple.
-
Ray furrowed his brow. "What does that mean?"
-
Acon sighed. "It means I'm a woman and I know when my own crew isn't telling me the truth."
-
Ray nodded. "R-Right. Yes, I'm not really enjoying myself. B-But...I don't want to complicate things with you and the crew. So I'm just going to grin and bear it." He smiled, and sat up.
-
Acon sighed. "Would you some soup?"
-
Ray shook his head. "No, captain. You don't need to worry about me, go enjoy yourself, I can cope."
-
Acon pursed her lips. "My duty as captain is to make sure all of my crew is in good spirits."
-
Ray smiled. "But I am in good spirits, captain."
-
Acon raised a brow and shrugged before she turned to Polly. "Keep an eye on this one." Polly nodded as the captain took her leave back into the crowd.
-
Ray kept his smile as the captain left, but it dropped as soon as she was out of sight. "So you have to watch me now, Polly?"
-
The bot shrugged and sat cross legged infront of him. "Just to make sure you're alright I suppose."
-
Ray nodded. "Huh...do you want to go enjoy yourself, Polly? I'm perfectly fine alone."
-
Polly shook his head. "Boobies s of no use to me."
-
Ray nodded. "We're in the same boat, friend."
-
Leon sat at a bar, drinking a 1-credit synthbeer. It was all he could afford. But he was sure as hell glad that Acon had brought him here. Freaking women Everywhere! He would have to come back here sometime, whenever he could afford it.
-
Ray yawned, and felt the music in his teeth. He rolled the silvery rod on the table, waiting to leave. Ray waved at Leon, hoping he would catch the movement from the corner of his eye.
-
Leon noticed ray wave at him, and stumbled over to him;drunk.
"W-was-wassap rey?"
-
Ray shrugged. "Eh, nothing much. Your level of intoxication, for one."
-
"Haha!" He laughed, clumsily falling into the booth "ye, 'm drunk"
-
Ray nodded. "That's why I don't drink." He looked around the establishment. "I wish I was normal."
-
"Nerml?" He said, giving a hiccup "whachu dun likeit her?"
-
Ray shook his head. "I don't."
-
Acon ran from the crowed looking rather distraught. "We gotta go!" She yelled.
-
Ray stood, and nodded. He picked up the drunken Leon, and ran for the door. "C'mon, Polly!"
-
"Wha?" Leon went, stumbling out of his seat "whachu mean?"
-
An angry looking four eyed man threw chairs and tables at them as they ran for the exit. Polly got to the ship and started it as the man gained on them with surprising quickness.
-
"Heh." Leon hiccuped "hesmad whachu do?"
-
Acon pushed Ray and Leon into the ship and shut the door. She braced against it as the large pursuer rammed into it, rocking the ship from side to side.
-
Ray sat Leon down, and moved over to his bag. In a few seconds, the large anti-material rifle sat in Ray's paws, as he set it took a sitting position, bracing himself against the back wall of the ship. "What the hell did you do!?"
-
Polly prepared for take off as the man rammed into the ship again. "I insulted his sister after she clearly scuffed my boot!"
-
"D'ya hav anythin t sob'r me up?" Leon asked "dun wanna b' drunk rightnow."
-
((Uh...))
-
((Did that by accident, sorry!))
-
The ship finally bolted forward away from Boobies. Acon sighed in relief and collapsed on the couch. "Just get a glass of water."
-
"Wherezat?"He said, strapping himself into the copilot's chair
-
Polly handed Leon a bottle of water. "This should a little, sir."
-
Ray disassembled the rifle, and put it in the bag. "So...that happened."
-
Acon slouched on the couch and sighed. "Yes, yes it did."
-
Ray shrugged. "Uh...s-should we stop and see if there was any damage done?"
-
Acon nodded. "Alright."
-
((Mmm...Wrong name?))
Ray nodded. "Alright, I'm gonna get some sleep, just wake me when you want to check." He laid against his bag, and fell asleep.
-
Leon took the bottle of water in hand, and immediately chugged it. The light speed jump had also helped.
-
((I changed it! Sorry, using my herp derp.))
-
"Yes it is and thank you for the compliment. I am wearing a pair of trousers you know that right?" Aakor asked with a confused tone when he noticed how hiyate was acting.
-
Ray awoke awhile later, and found the ship still cruising. He sat up, and rubbed his head. "Mm...W-Where are we going, Captain?"
-
Acon shrugged and switched off the tv. "Back to the port where Aakor and that guy should be."
-
Ray nodded, and stood. "I just realized something, I don't know your name, Captain."
-
"Her name's Acon." Leon piped in,not taking his eyes away from the copilot's controls
-
Acon turned to Ray and nodded. "Yup! I is Acon Lovien, captains of the ol Ricky Danger!"
-
"And I'm Leon Naismith, first mate of the Ricky danger!" Leon still didn't take his eyes off of the copilot's seat
-
Ray nodded. "Pleasure to meet you both." He extended both gloved paws, smiling.
-
Acon took Ray's paw into her own with a grin. "The pleasures all mine."
-
Aakor held his wrist up to his muzzle and said "ship. Notify acon that we are both up and waiting."
-
Ray sat in a nearby chair, and waited for them to pick up the others. He whistled quietly.
-
"You talk to your ship?!?" Hiyate stud up wagging his tail. "That's. So. COOL!!!" Hiyate moving around his cell to try and get a better look at the communication device.
-
The Danger came to a stop next to Aakor's and Acon opened a window to wave. "Honey, I'm home!"
-
"Hey there!" Leon waved as well, standing behind Acon
-
"Hey acon. And it's a nanite implant hiyate. You wouldn't be able to see it." Aakor then rushed over to the cockpit and sat down in the pilot seat. "Right. Excuse me not having a shirt on but when my blood gets on my clothes or fur its a pain to get it out." He said while giving a slight glare at acon.
-
Acon giggled and blew a kiss to Aakor.
-
"Um... can I be let out now? Or at least be locked up in a bigger room?" Hiyate said trying to make his question reach everyones ears.
-
Ray patted the back of Acon's chair. "I'm gonna take a look at the door. You coming, Polly?" He climbed out through one of the windows, and stood on the other side of the door.
-
Polly followed suit and stood beside Ray with a questioning eyebrow.
-
The mechanism of hiyate's holding cell deactivated and let him out. "Alright. Just rule number one. Don't piss me off. I need a new co pilot anyway."
-
Ray stood, and rubbed his chin. "Mm...I want to know who the hell that guy was. Look at this, Polly!" He ran his paw across the horribly dented exterior of the ship, pulling up at one of the metal panels.
-
"Just don't let him on the Ricky danger... Or anywhere near me. Don't want him having another... Episode."
-
Polly got closer and winced. "The captain is not going to like this." He rubbed his fingers over a portion of the dent and winced again.
-
Ray shook his head. "Nope, another light-space jump'll tear the damn walls off. Go tell the captain we're stuck to this planet for a good while. I'm gonna go get some tools." With that, Ray left to go acquire the items needed to even hope to fix the damage.
-
Polly reluctantly made his way inside and broke the news to Acon. She screamed at the top of her lungs and ran out to cuddle the side of the Danger. "It's ok, baby. We're gonna get you fixed up nice and new." She cried, kissing the ship and rubbing its beaten exterior.
-
"Hey acon do you need any credits to help fix what ever the issue is?" Aakor asked politely.
-
Hiyate sat back down on the bed... then suddenly jump back up from the scream that was so loud it was like it was right next to him. "Hey it everything alright over there!" he yelled
-
Acon shook her head, still caressing the side of her beloved ship.
-
Ray returned quickly, pulling a large bag behind him, and a welding mask sitting atop his head. "I'll do what I can, captain...but I haven't done exterior work in a good while." He sat the bag down, and waited for Acon to move.
-
"No someone basically just immobilised acon's ship." Aakor shouted over his shoulder.
-
"Well if you need someone to hold her together just ask! I don't really want to die from a freak accident!" Hiyate yelled back
-
"I have a buddy that might be able to send over some materials if we need 'em." Leon says to Acon "For a price, of course."
-
Acon kissed the Danger onw more time before she stepped away to let Ray work.
She turned to Leon. "What kinda price?"
-
Aakor got up from his seat and jogged back to the holding cells. "That's why I'm staying on my ship. You're more then welcome to stay as well." He said.
-
Ray stepped up, and sighed. "Polly! I'm gonna need you, friend!" He pulled at one of the damaged panels. "Captain? You shouldn't need to pay, if everything goes right."
-
Hiyate giggled "As if I have a choice... But thanks for the offer."
-
Polly ran up to Ray and waited for instruction. "Yes, sir."
-
"Like I said earlier. If you like working with me then you could join me as my co pilot."
-
"Well," Leon says "you could probably pay him with..." He gives a thrust of his hips "y'know."
-
Ray nodded. "How much weight can you hold? I'll need you to hold these panels as I fix 'em." He tapped the dented metal.
-
Acon snorted. "Maybe." She shrugged. "But I think Ray's got this one."
Polly shrugged. "As much as you need me to."
-
"Me too. But always plan for the worst, and you'll be pleasantly surprised when the Best happens."
-
"Like I said earlier. If you like working with me then you could join me as my co pilot."
"Really?!? I'd love too! That is if the position is still open."
-
Ray smiled. "Good, get ready to catch. One. Two. Three!" He heaved the panel off into Polly's arms, and pulled a blowtorch from the bag, along with a mallet. Ray got to work, heating the panel and began whacking it with the hammer, trying to straighten it. "I'm glad...you're here...Polly." He grunted between words. "I...couldn't..have done this....without you."
-
Polls beamed at being of good use. "I'm glad to hear that, sir. Thank you."
-
Ray maneuvered Polly back towards the empty spot on the ship, and began welding the panel back on. "No problem, Polly."
-
Polly smiled bright as he watched Ray work. He looked back at the captain who refused to watch.
-
Leon figured he might as well do something useful, as decided on running some checks on the nav systems and impulse drives.
-
Ray pulled a small panel from the ship, and was greeted with a poof of smoke, and a few sparks. "Aye! You sneaky sumabitch." He reached around for another set of tools, and worked on the interior part of the ship. "That guy damaged some of your shielding, captain...this might take awhile."
-
"Ray," Leon says into his radio "gimme a sec to test the impulse drives."
-
Acon bit her knuckle and choked back a sob. "Do what you must."
-
"Yes the offer is still there. Just don't do what the last guy did and piss me off." He then walked into his room an d laid down on his king sized bed.
-
"Don't worry, so long as I keep my emotions in check it should never happen again" He said smile and walked to the doorway of Aakor's room "If you don't mind I let myself out" he add with a slight giggle of excitement
-
"That's fine. If you've got any questions you want to ask... Well just ask. I'm an open book." He said as he rolled into his back and put his paws behind his head.
-
"If you don't mind I'm going explore the ship" Hiyate walked off
-
Ray shot a thumbs up to Leon. "Go ahead!" He waited, thinking about his next course of action.
-
"Alright." Aakor laid in silence as he listened to some old music.
-
"Right." Leon says, moving the joystick forward slightly, giving the ship a short burst of propulsion. Then, he checked how far the ship had moved... Just a little bit slower than it should have.
"Right," leon speaks into his radio "right, could ya check the impulse drives? I think one of them's not getting enough power."
-
Ray nodded, and climbed up on the ship. He pulled Polly with him, and walked towards the ships engine. Ray stuck a pry-bar under the access panels, and pulled them up. On the third panel, he was rewarded with a small fire, and black, acrid smoke. "Oh...oh hell, that's bad!" He put on a pair of thick gloves, and yelled at Leon. "Leon! Shut it down! We've got a burnt drive!" Ray fought with the hardware, waiting for the locks to disengage.
-
"Sh*t" Leon curses, quickly pressing the emergency shutdown "there... Acon, where's the respirators?"
-
Acon gave Leon an exaggerated shrug. "Hell if I know."
-
Ray pulled the hardware up, and winced. "I can't fix this. We're gonna need a new drive." He pulled an extinguisher from his bag, and sprayed it into the slot. The nano-foam cooled the slot, and disappeared. Ray sat, and sighed. "That's another few days..."
-
Leon brings a paw to the bridge of his nose "well, at least tell me Polly knows. Cos I don't wanna down any time with that hiyate guy."
-
Acon turned to Polly who nodded. "Yes sir."
-
Hiyate walked in coughing. "What happened here?"
-
"Great." Leon says, giving a nod to Polly "could ya grab it for me?
-
Ray peered into the slot, and activated a bypass. "There, so we can at least fly." He slid back down, and worked on the shields. "Leon!? Can you tell me what the hit detector's saying? I want to know if this panel's still working."
-
Polly did as he was instructed and returned with what Leon needed.
-
"One of the drives on acon's ship is busted..." Aakor replied.
-
"Thank you." He said, placing the clear bubble-helmet onto his face, the bottoms of it sealing automatically "I'll be here, away from the crazy guy that tried to kill me."
-
"Can I help?" Spun around looking kind of bored
-
Ray smiled at Hiyate, and tossed him his wallet. "Yeah, go and buy a new impulse drive. TX-416, by the look of it." He continued working on the shield port, until blue sparks flew wildly for a moment. "Everything seems normal."
-
Acon eyed the Danger with hopeful eyes. "Give to me straight, Doc. Will she make it?"
-
Ray replaced the small panel, and patted it lovingly. "Yes, she'll make a full recovery. Soon as we get that impulse drive."
-
Aakor was being himself and staying quiet in his room on his ship.
-
"Well, she can still move." Leon said "she'll just be a bit... Lopsided with one of the thrusters missing."
-
Ray snapped his fingers. "Nope! I bypassed the missing drive. Both thrusters'll be on half power 'till we get the new drive."
-
Acon smiled brightly. "The Rick Danger will live to see another day!"
-
"Ah." Leon says "smart of you. You're a damn good engineer to pull off a stunt like that."
-
Ray nodded. "Of course. It wasn't too much, evidently that drive's been bad from the get-go. Yahoo McGoo and his fists of steel must've jarred it loose, and when we left, it burned up." He looked at Leon, and smiled sheepishly. "Y-Yeah...or j-just really lucky." Ray forgot that, at least to his knowledge, Leon thought he was a seasoned assassin.
-
"Well it looks like you guys have that covered" Hiyate turned to Ray "You're pretty smart mister, you even knew the replacement part needed! Maybe sometime later, you could teach me a thing or two." Hiyate turn around to go back to Aakor's ship.
-
Aakor had fallen asleep in his room.
-
Ray took the impulse drive, and placed it in the impulse drive slot. He hooked several cables to the drive, and smiled. "I think I got it!"
-
A beeping emanating from the radar screen in front of him woke Kazbek with a jolt; two objects were approaching rapidly on the screen. After spending almost a week in the cramped interior of the escape module of his destroyed ship he wasted no time in sending out a distress call and launching one of his strobe beacons to attract attention.
(Name: Kazbek
Age: 20
Species: Dingo
Gender: male
Personality: generally helpful and loyal
Job(s): Explorer and scavenger
Weapon(s): Laser stun pistol
Powers (if any): none
Outfit of Choice: Dark green pressure suit with collapsible helmet Ship name:
Sandstorm (prior to being destroyed after entering wormhole))
-
Aakor's ship picked up on the signal.
-
Hiyate's ears shot up hearing the sound "Did it find my sister?" he ask with excitement and curiosity as he had no idea to what else it would be set to find.
-
"Maybe... It's picking up a distress signal from a escape pod." Aakor bolted out of his bed and shot across his ship like a bullet then sat in his chair and tried to open a com link with it. "Hello? Is anyone there?"
-
"Hello? Hello!" a voice said back "Thank god you found us, please help I have a baby on board!" The voice sounded grainy do to the weak signal
Hiyate's ears tilted slightly forward as he moved closer to try and hear the voice better
-
"Gimme a sec to clear up the signal..." Aakor went under the dashboard in the cockpit and started to fiddle with some of the wires.
-
The voice came back again. "Hello? Are you there?"
Hiyate was shocked, he knew that voive. He run forward "Marissa? Marissa it's me Hiyate!" hey called back.
"Hiyate? Hityate I'm s-" the connection broken and the com went silent
Hiyate turned to Aakor "Where's her location? We have to find her!"
-
"What do you think I'm still under here for?" Aakor asked sarcastically. "Umm... There coming up from behind us..."
-
Kazbek caught what seemed to be a voice on the pod's communicator, he tried to filter the signal by switching the dials. Although he was met with a flurry of sparks from one of the exposed wires hanging from the top console, which singed some of his fur.
He tried again, pushing one of the wires back into place and pulled the headset over his ears.
"Mayday, this is Pod alpha of the Sandstorm, assistance required, please respond." Kazbek spoke into the microphone.
-
"GOTCHA!" He shouted as he shot out from under his dashboard and into his chair flipping a few switches and taking his ship up in a hurry. "Come on... Just give me a visual..."
-
There was a microphone built into his helmet, hooked into the ship's comns. He wouldn't be able to hear anything with the lack of oxygen.
"Sandstorm, come again." He spoke into the radio, repeating. It three times. The reception was bad.
-
"Are you still-" Kazbek was about to finish when the stray wire from the ship's communicator fell loose and struck the oil stained rag hanging next to it. The wire arced and within a few seconds the rag was ablaze just inches from the dingo's face.
Kazbek pulled down the visor on his suit, sealing it completely and pulled the emergency door release latch. the fire disappeared as the module's remaining oxygen and belongings were sucked out into space
"Are you still there?" He called out using his suit's communicator as he climbed out of the emergency exit. His suit would have only a few minutes of air left.
-
"Sandstorm, you still there?" He said, floating himself over to some EVA suits "sandstorm, come again?"
-
"This is sandstorm, I'm still here" Kazbek responded switching on his helmet mounted torch, unsure of whether his virtually ancient comms would work.
-
"Sandstorm, I'm reading you, but you're breaking up... Sandstorm, key your radio two times if you can read. Repeat, key your radio two times. Two times key your radio."
As he said this, he pulled on the EVA suit, getting ready to jet over to the sandstorm's escape pod.
-
Kazbek obeyed immediately and keyed the radio, now holding one of the side rails of the small module. His life support was already running of reserve power and the air he breathed began thinner and thinner.
"Come on... Come one" He muttered looking around for the ship
-
Leon immediately exited the airlock, and looked around for the ship. He couldn't find it. But he saw a flashing light, possibly a strobe beacon. So he set a marker for his ship in his HUD, and began to jet over to it.
-
Kazbek caught a shape in the beam of his strobe marker approaching him and waved towards it with his disconnected torch
-
As he jetted over to the escape pod, he found himself calling out to this guy, even though he knew he couldn't hear him. When he got close, he waved back at him, his jets automatically compensating for the motion.
-
Kazbek reached out to the figure, but he over extended and soon felt the craft slip away from under his boots, leaving him completely detached in the void. It was hard to breath and sweat was already dripping from his forehead onto the visor
-
Ray awoke, having fallen asleep in his corner of the ship. He had repaired the impulse drive, and the shielding seemed to be functional. He twitched his foot, and looked at the ceiling.
-
"Sh*t!" Leon curses, immediately jetting over to kazbek, emergency air helm in hand
-
Ray stood, and looked around. "Mmm...what's going on?"
-
Kazbek's vision began to blur and the sound of his own breathing slowed as he drifted into unconsciousness
-
"Come on..." Leon mutters, placing the helm over kazbek's head, the helm immediately sealed itself over his armor
-
Aakor's ship quickly appeared underneath lee and kazbek. "Lee I'm opening my ships air lock now. Just look out below you." He calmly said into the radio.
-
Ray looked around, and approached Polly. "What's going on?"
-
Polly shrugged. "I just came here on a stolen children's bicycle."
-
Ray blinked. "W-What? Have you blown a circuit?"
-
Polly smirked and looked at Ray with sly smile. "Suddenly, pineapples."
-
Ray sighed. "Look at the dash." He turned Polly's head, and began undoing the panel on the back of his head.
-
Polly found it difficult to sit still. He wiggled around before he took off running without warning.
-
Ray drew a special robot disabler, and fired at Polly, dropping him to the floor. Ray pulled the back of Polly's head open, and sighed, as a poof of smoke and sparks flew in his face. "Mm. Yeah, you're due for a tune up." Ray began doing repairs that he could.
-
Acon looked down at the two from where she sat with a raised brow. "Uh... what's shakin?"
-
Ray sighed. "Polly's on the fritz. He's in need of a tuneup." Ray disabled Polly's ability to move, but left him conscious. "How do you feel, Polly?"
-
Polly sighed. "I need a bagel!"
-
Ray patted the robots head. "We'll get you patched up yet, buddy."
-
Polly chuckled. "Women dig my snuff and my gallant stroll."
-
"Acon!" Leon called out urgently as he passed through the airlock, kazbek slung over his shoulders "yo, where's the medbay?"
-
"What the f**k is that?!"
-
"Ah..." He goes, clearing a table of some stuff and placing Kazbek onto it. He the. Turns to Acon, and speaks rapidly at her "you know, when you hurt yourself, where do you go?"
-
Acon shrugged. "Like a hospital?'
-
"Yeah." He says, waving his hand around, and taking the emergency respirator off of kazbek "yeah, like a hospital!"
-
"Oh~! I know what you mean now." She slapped her forehead. "Derp! It's a long ways away. And without the Danger's light speed..."
-
"Ask that other guy if he has a medbay..." He says, gesturing at kazbek "I'd rather not see this guy die."
-
Acon groaned and went off to get hold of Aakor on radio.
-
"Feh..." He goes, chuckling sardonically "I don't want to go there either, trust me,.. Mr crazy mcd*uched*ck there tried to kill me... But" he shrugs "I just feel like I shouldn't let him die."
-
Ray looked at Leon, and smiled. "Is there something I can do?" He remembered treating people who had been injured while in zero gravity, and felt he could save him.
-
"Yeah, yeah... Take a look at him, would ya? I think he's suffering from oxygen depravation, I dunno. He passed out, and I slapped this" he raises the respirator "right on him just after he did."
-
Ray smiled, and started looking. "Hmm...Well...let's get working." He pressed his ear against the man's chest. "What's his name?"
-
He shrugged "didn't get it. But he was on the ship 'sandstorm' before he came here in a pod."
-
Ray nodded, and pointed at his bags. "Reach into the big red one, will you? I've got medical supplies in there."
-
"Right." He says, stuffing his hand into the red bag "what do you need?"
-
Ray smiled. "Just bring it here."
-
"Okay." He says, walking over to ray, red medical bag in hand "so... What are you going to do to him?"
-
Ray shrugged. "Whatever I need too." He listened to the stranger's chest. "Hmm...he's got a heartbeat, and seems to be breathing." Ray started digging through the bag.
-
"Good," Leon said, sitting down on a couch "just keep him alive, please."
-
Ray nodded, and got to work. After a few minutes, Ray wiped his forehead, and sighed. "He should be fine now."
-
"Right... so I assume we just wait for him to come to?"
-
Ray sat. "That's the plan, Stan."
-
"My name's Leon." He says, staring at the stranger "you know that."
-
Ray chuckled. "I know you're Leon. It's an old saying we had on Taurus II."
-
"Ah." Leon says "I'm from Essex IV. Didn't have that saying there."
-
Ray nodded. "I...n-never mind."
-
Leon raises a brow "what's up?" He asks, slightly confused "what were you gonna say?"
-
Ray shook his head. "N-Nothing, nothing."
-
"Nah," he says "something's wrong, else ya wouldn't have said never mind!" He pauses for a moment "you can say what ya want, Friend, I won't judge, and won't say anything."
-
Ray sighed. "I...I wasn't...I'm not an assassin."
-
He raises a brow, then let's out a laugh "I don't give a damn! You're a damn good engineer kid, and every crew needs one. Especially as good as you."
-
Ray sighed. "B-But...the Rayleonrade family are supposed to be assassins."
-
He chuckled "and the Naismith family is supposed to be arms manufacturers!" He gestures at ray "that rifle you've got, there's a good chance it's got at least some Naismith Inc. parts in it."
-
Ray sighed. "I've never even fired that gun...I don't even know how. My father left it for me." He looked down. "I've failed him."
-
He shook his head "Nah, you haven't. You've only failed him when you give up! Doesn't look like you have up to me."
-
Ray sighed. "I gave up on hitman work...I only use that to get on crews to help...though...they usually kick me off."
-
"If it were up to me, I wouldn't kick ya off." He said, shrugging nonchalantly
-
Ray nodded. "Well, thank you for the sentiment."
-
"Could I see that rifle?" Leon said, looking over at ray "wanna see If my family made it."
-
Kazbek woke up with a jolt and looked around the strange interior of the ship he was in, his suits low battery alarm had started beeping quietly. He'd never seen a ship as advanced as it before, it was a far cry from the piece of junk that he'd traveled in with his crew.
Kazbek heard two men talking nearby and subconsciously checked that his stun pistol was still attached to his thigh holster.
"Excuse me, but...Where am I?" he asked cautiously
-
"Hey, sandstorm." Leon said, looking over at him "you passed out. Brought ya here, fixed ya up... By the way, never got your name."
-
"Thank you, I owe you my life." Kazbek stood up and walked towards them "My name is Kazbek, navigator of the Sandstorm... That is, before it was destroyed by space debris."
-
"I'm Leon... Leon Naismith." He said "I'm the copilot, and first mate about the 'ol ricky danger.'... Or at least I think I am. This guy" he gestured at ray "is the engineer.... And a damn good one, to boot. Fixed the thrusters so they only run on one drive... He's also the one that fixed you up."
-
Aakor came out from behind and calmly said "I'm Aakor owner of the shadow before dawn." He gestured to the window with a diagram of his ship. "I'm it's pilot and captain."
-
Hiyate followed closely behind him "And I'm Hiyate, the co-pilot. Glad to hear you're alright" he said trying to pay no attention to Leon.
-
Ray waved, skittishly. "I-I'm Ray...I saved your life."
-
"Thank you Hiyate, Ray, Leon and Aakor. It's nice to meet you all." Kazbek said as he shook flecks of ash out of his hair and considered his options "The rest of my crew is dead and our ship was destroyed, may I join yours?"
-
Acon walked around the corner and smiled to the new comer. "I would be the one to ask that, sir. I'm captain of the Ricky Danger."
-
"Ricky Danger? a strange name... You have very advanced tech on board your ship, how old is it?" Kazbek replied examining his surroundings
-
Acon narrowed her eyes. "The Ricky Danger is over fifteen years old." She jammed her paws in her pockets, lest punch this guy too.
-
"I'd be careful about what you say or do to her ship while Acon's present." Hiyate said looking at Aakor then back to Kazbek "Trust us it doesn't end well." Hiyate giggled trying to make it seem like whatever he did wasn't such a big deal, though now that Hiyate thought about it, he realized how stupid his actions were. He then lowered his ears as his giggle grew weaker.
-
"Oh my apologies, I mean no disrespect" Kazbek laughed nervously, taking a step back, "I think your ship is very impressive, my ship was supposed to be scrapped 74 years ago, even my suit is an antique!"
-
"Damn...." Leon mutters "74 years ago?" If his ship was as old as he says it is.... His oxygen should have run out... Fifteen years ago! "How's the damned ship still working?"
-
Acon flexed one of her arms. "The Ricky Danger is a strong one."
-
"Yeah." Leon said "she is. She's a good ship."
-
"Oh sorry, Leon. The Sandstorm was destroyed last week, it was torn to pieces when we hit some space debris. Unfortunately, I was the only one that escaped alive out of the 7 crewmembers, the rest of the crew were either sucked out into space or were not wearing pressure suits" Kazbek explained sadly "I was lucky that we installed spare oxygen tanks in the escape pods before we left our home port, otherwise i wouldn't be here."
Kazbek continued to wonder around the ship, examining various objects and weapons lying around, careful to avoid angering the angry pilot of the "Ricky danger'
-
Ray walked over to the immobile Polly, and flipped him onto his chest, and sat on the robot's back. "Polly? This is gonna pinch, buddy." He opened the access panel on the back of Polly's head, and began working on some of the less damaged parts.
-
Polly groaned and let out a laugh soon after. "That kinda tickles!" He giggled.
-
Ray sighed. "Quiet, friend. I need you...to remain silent." He fought with a few damaged wires, as sparks flew around his paws.
-
"Well I'm going to get back to my ship and finish up some prototype weapons and armour." Aakor said as he turned and made his way to his ship.
-
"Well I'd better get going as well." Hiyate nodded and turned around to followed Aakor back to his ship.
-
Ray finished with Polly, and shut the maintenance panel. "There, you should be good now, Polly. How do you feel?" He stood, and waited for Polly to answer.
-
Polly groaned and shook his head. "I-I feel... uh... Good?"
-
Ray smiled, and held out a paw. "I guess that means I did well. You're pretty beaten up, Polly."
-
Polly took Ray's paw. "Well, I am 150." He shrugged.
-
Ray blinked. "One hundred and fifty years old? Or are you just babbling?"
-
Polly shook his head. "150. I used to me a Good computer." He chipped.
-
Ray nodded. "Alright, but we'll need to back up and wipe your memory soon. You're sitting at the cusp of your limit." He looked at Acon. "Captain? We need to go to the planet Guiga (goo-ee-ja). It's a small repair colony."
-
Acin shrugged. "sounds good to me." She looked around. "Where's Leon?"
-
Ray shrugged. "He's...in the medbay...I think? With a random we picked up..."
-
Acon sat on the couch with Polly, flipping through channels on the small tv before them. She sighed after a while and slouched in her seat. "Bored!"
-
Ray walked from his room, and looked at Polly and Acon from the hallway. He smiled, and spoke. "How are you two? Feeling well, Polly?"
-
Polly turned to Ray and nodded. "Oh yes!"
-
Leon sighed, sitting down next to Acon "hey... That guy? He left.... Dunno how, he just kinda dissappeared."
-
Acon shrugged and leaned over to kiss Leon"s cheek. "Yeah?"
Polly stood and ventured into the kitchen.
-
He smiled, returning the kiss"Yup. Probably spaced himself by accident... Eh, what's gone is gone."
-
Ray chuckled. "Um...how are we on fuel? We've been going for a while."
-
Polly turned to the group and thought a moment. "We should be good for a while."
Acon shrugged. "Eh, what are ya gonna do?"
-
Ray nodded, and slipped into the cockpit. He sighed, and watched as the stars moved by. "It's...so daunting, but magical..." Ray smiled, and continued to, quite literally, stare off into space.
-
(Ha!)
Polly hobbled into another room and poked around at the walls for something.
-
Ray sighed, and turned in the pilots chair. He watched Polly, and spoke up. "Lose something?"
-
"Yes... and no." He answered, not looking up from his task. "Do I know where this something is? Yes. Do I know it's exact location? No."
-
"So... How long 'till we get to... Goojeer?" Hewitt said, resting his head on her shoulders
-
Ray smiled, and began typing away on the nav-computer. "Polly, you should keep important things on you. That's what I do." After a few moments more, he called out. "Three days, estimated."
-
Acon snorted. "Hell if I know. Maybe Ray knows."
Polly grunted and kept looking.
-
"Thanks!" Leon shouted back he turned to Acon with a smile "so... What to do with three days, hmm?"
-
Ray sighed. "Polly, what are you looking for? I've seen a few things behind the..." He looked at Acon. "N-Never mind...but if you tell me what you're looking for, I might've seen it."
-
Acon sighed loudly. "I don't know, dude."
Polly punched a hole in a wall and reached in. "I think..."
-
Ray blinked, and sighed. "Good thing I picked up more ion fuel for my torch...I could've moved that, Polly." He kept his voice low, for fear of alerting Acon of his actions. Ray knew she was very protective of the Ricky Danger, and didn't want to upset her.
-
"That better not be the sound of Polly harming the danger!" Acon yelled back.
Polly pulled his arm out with a huff. "Nothing."
-
"Hold on... I've got it." Leon grunted, walking over to Polly "uh... Yeah, it was."
-
Ray offered a smile to Acon. "Don't worry, Cap. Nothing I can't fix." He spun the blow torch in his fingers, and adjusted the goggles on his forehead.
-
Acon groaned. "Y'all are killin me!"
-
Leon shook his head "I know... Gah! Y'all are killin her!"
-
Ray chuckled, and walked up to the damaged part. "Huh...I uh...mm." He pulled on the parted metal sheet, speaking quietly. "Might need a...probably...yeah. Yep, gonna need one..."
-
Acon turned sharply towards the hall. "One what?"
-
Leon stood behind ray, warthog with crossed arms "one... One what?"
-
Ray sighed. "A new panel, Cap, and new fittings probably. Polly's not a scalpel, he's a sledgehammer, to be simple. It's bent all out of whack, and cracked through and through." He turned, and smiled at Leon. "We'll have to stop at Al Grineer, a small trading station not far from here. Permission to divert course, Lieutenant?"
-
"Polly!" Acon yelled, running out at the robot with a broom.
-
Ray chuckled. "A broom isn't going to do much to Polly, Cap. But feel free to act as you see fit." He sighed, and turned back to the panel.
-
Acon whipped around and smacked Ray with it. "Fine then! I'll beat the hell out of his accomplice!"
-
Leon stood there, shaking his head "ooh, you're gonna get it!" He said, like a a child watching anther get punished
-
Ray yelped, and jumped back slightly. "Yeow! Stings like none other. I didn't tell Polly to punch the wall!"
-
Acon bared her teeth and swung the broom again, smashing a lamp off its table.
-
Ray ducked the broom, and backed away again.
-
Polly stepped in front of Ray and took his beatings. "Ugh..."
-
Ray blinked. "C-Captain?"
-
Acon continued beating Polly. "What?!" She grunted.
-
Ray spoke up. "If I may, this isn't necessary. I can fix it, there's no need to dismantle Polly."
-
Acon growled. "You better or I'm gonna abandon you both at the next boobies."
-
Ray shuddered. "Let's not. I just need a new interior panel, and we're good to go."
-
Acon growled and stopped assaulting Polly.
-
Ray sighed. "Thank you, Cap. Permission to set a course to Al Grineer?"
-
Acon waved her paw dismissively. "Do whatever you have to to fix the danger."
-
Ray smiled, and slid into the pilots chair. He set a course for Al Grineer, and sighed.
