After Earth - Episode II - Beyond Colonial Space.

[Relique du Madde]

Gaetanna whispers to Pierce via her head set.. "Hey Pierce, what are they doing? I have my back to some big pipe that it to Cnosis's left and I can't look out without blowing my cover... Oh yeah.. Cnosis is disguised as a Syrran."

 

[Dr Simon]

Solly tries to memorise the directions to medbay.

"With your permission, captain..s," he says, "I'll go and find some Syrran doctors. Assuming nobody tries to shoot me en route," he adds with a mutter.

OOC: Heading to sickbay.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Trying to hide his accent as bests, Cnosos gesticulates "The ship has been damaged by the storm, and the engine's cooling vapors escaped, killing many, and leaving unconscious another good part of this ship's crew. I'm traveling with these humans, we got out of the storm several minutes after you, and found your ship. Our captain is now speaking with yours, now that I have reestablish the breathable atmosphere." he explains, not lying at any point.

Pierce keeps his hands up, his shotgun gripped, "Yeah, what he said. Now if you wouldn't mind taking the gun out of my face, that'd be perfect, seeing as we saved your lives." He makes sure to enunciate so that Gaetanna can understand what's going on without poking out her pretty little head.

 

[Rhun]

Damon nods to Solly that he should head down to sickbay and try to find the Syrran doctors. Then he turns back to regard the captain. He smiles at Captain Archel and nods at her question. "The name is Damon Knight, of the independent freighter Gold Greed. Our pilot is currently using our ship to keep you from drifting back into danger."

 

[Shayuri]

Back on the Gold Greed, Mel quickly minimizes the game window of Invaded Space she has open and makes a few, wholly unnecessary, adjustments to the thrust of the ship to demonstrate how on the job she is.

After a second, she glances craftily around to make sure the attention of the readers has passed off of her again, then opens the game screen again...making sure, of course, to keep the sensor track showing relative velocities of wedgie and the conjoined ships where she could see it. She wasn't suicidal after all.

 

[Blackrat]

"So then captain. Shall we talk business while we wait? I take it you wish a compensation for your help?" Archel seems a bit agitated.

The syrran men seem unconvinced by Cnosos' explanation but they do lower their guns. "Don't come further. Tell Captain Archel that everything is fine down here and we'll keep everyone safe."

Mel is lost in the game and almost misses the quiet bleep that comes from the sensor console. When it finally registers she sees something that she did not expect. There seems to be another ship, just meters away from you. Switching on the viewscreen she is even more surpriced. The ship is a familiar form. A perfect disc of evershifting shiny metal. Exactly like the one that scanned you on your first mission on Greed.

 

[Rhun]

Damon nods in the Captain's direction. "Well, Captain...the truth is, we could have not stopped. Good intentions aside, we saved your ship and lives, at considerable risk to ourselves. So in short, yes. Not to sound like the crass, money chasing mercenaries that we are, but I would certainly expect something in the way of compensation."

 

[Voda Vosa]

"Very well." Says as sceptic as he can. "Pierce, Gaetana, lets return to the bridge." he says to the at the moment concelaed woman and to the towering Pierce.

 

[ethandrew]

Pierce stared hard at both of the Syrrans, giving them the glare he saved for those people he planned on it being the last thing they ever saw. His death-glare. So far he hadn't given it to anyone as far as he knew. Once he rounded the corner from the guards he holsters his shotgun and looks at his forearm, still sore and burned red from the plasma turret.

"I should'a shot 'em both," he says quietly as he flexed his hand repeatedly, though intending for both Cnosos and Gaetanna to hear.
