After Earth - Episode II - Beyond Colonial Space.

[Relique du Madde]

Exausted from the ship's buckling, Gaetanna sunk in her seat. "Is it safe to unbuckle yet?"

 

[Rhun]

"Not quite yet," mutters Damon, his hands working the console. He directs the ship's sensors to scan the other vessel, looking for life signs and the overall condition of the other ship. "Mel, can you bring us in closer to that ship?"

Computer +10 as needed.

Also, does our ship have grapples or tractor beam or anything?

Pierce unlatches his protective belts and straps. He stands, keeping a hand on the seat to support himself in case something crazy happened. "I'm going to the guns, just in case. Yell when you want me to fire, Damon," he makes for the ladder that will lead him to one of the ship's guns.

"Maybe we should also try hailing them..."Gaetanna quickly tried to link her HUD to the ship's external comm system.

Computers +3

"Hello? Is anyone there?"

[sblock=OOC]I'm figuring that Gaetanna needs to roll since she only been a ship's passenger, and not a member of it's crew, so her finding the right hailing frequency would be hit and miss.[/sblock]

 

[Shayuri]

Melara wiped some sweat off her forehead and leaned back in the pilot's seat, taking a second to force her fingers to unclench from the control yoke. Damon's question gets her attention though, and she gives him an irritated look.

"Are you kidding? I just flew us through...of course I can bring us in closer."

The buzz of her accomplishment now thoroughly harshed, Mel flicks the engine safeties back on and jockeys the Gold Greed towards the disabled ship, muttering under her breath.

Not even a 'thank you,' or a 'nice job.' Some days it just didn't pay to get in the chair.

 

[Blackrat]

Mel takes the Greed closer to the disabled ship which gives Damon a better sensor reading, making it possible for him to recognice the ship as a Syrran, Impaler-class cruiser. Greed's sensors are not good enough to detect lifesigns but Damon can determine that most of the ship's systems are failing, including lifesupport. From the scorchmarks across the hull it is obvious that a huge energy blast has gone through the ship, frying it's engines and other systems.

Gaetanna fails to establish contact, but she's not sure if that's because she's unfamiliar with the comm-system or because no-one is answering.

OOC: Rhun, yeah Greed has grapplers. Technically, as the Syrran ship is unable to fight back, it is simply a matter of engaging them and you can take the ship on tow if you wish.

"I'm not getting any responce from that ship... could someone check to see if I'm actually sending them a message?"

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Yes, let me see...." Cnosos says as he unstraps himself and gets to Gaetanna terminal to check the message

Computer use: +9

 

[Rhun]

"She's dead in space," says Damon. "Our sensors don't have enough resolution for me to tell if anyone is still alive over there, but all of her primary systems are failing..." He ponders the situation for several moments. "Might be some valuable salvage for us, though."

 

[ethandrew]

Stopping at the ladder, Pierce looks out the window at the disabled ship, his hands gripping the cold metal leading to the guns. In his head he was silently cursing a missed opportunity to blow things up, but boarding and salvaging a ship was always fun too, or so he imagined.

"What if there are survivors? They won't much like us taking their stuff," the gruff man states as he hocks up phlegm in his throat and considers spitting it before he swallows.
