After Earth - Episode II - Beyond Colonial Space.

Mel's first crazy thought is that one of the flying saucers from the game had leaked out into the sensor field. It looked that similar. Then she was swearing a blue storm, shutting off the game and bringing systems from standby to readiness. Somewhere in the flurry of activity she had time to comm Damon.

"Captain, this is the Greed. We just had a bogey appear from nowhere right off our port side. Configuration's the same as the unidentified bird we encountered near the jumpgate. It's literally only -meters- distant. Doesn't look to be doing anything right away, but at that range it could board either ship without much warning."

Gaetanna holstered her weapons then slowly stood with the Syrran jumpsuit and disguise kit firmly held against her lithe body. As Pierce walked passed her she blew a kiss towards the Syrrans and followed her companions.

"Now I'll have to add another set or surcharges onto their bill. 1000 for first aid and weapons discharge sounds about right.." She smirked. "At least I got myself one of those slinky jumpsuits their women always wear. I've always wanted to get one, but they ten to limit the types of clothing their traders sell to non Syrrans."
 

As is right I suppose. Unfortunately we don't have much in the way of money but we could offer you some technological... What's that? The captain is interrupted by Mel through your comms.

Solly makes it to the medbay and determines the crew there to be alive. Knocked out like the rest of them though.
 

Humming to himself, Solly make the crewmembers as comfortable as possible, pausing to ponder if the human recovery position is effective for Syrrans*. With a shrug he decides it can't hurt. Reasoning that the others will take care of the unknown ship, and that it could just as easily attack the Greed as the Syrran vessel, Solly concentrates on his work.

"The medical team are alive but unconscious. I'm just going to check that they'll recover. Somebody let me know if it's time to go, right?" he announces down the intercom.

OOC: Just got it, Blackrat. Syrrans = Sirens. Cunning!
 

"It appears we have an unidentified ship in close proximity," answers Damon to the Captain's questions. Keying his comm, he turns his attention back to Mel. "Status, Mel? What's it doing?" As he speaks, he attempts to use the Syran ship's sensors and direct them to scan the newcomer.

"It's not -doing- anything," Mel repeated, stress showing in her voice. "It's just sitting there. I'm not reading any signals or attempts to communicate. The Greed's a sitting duck as long as we're clamped onto the Syrrans though."
 

Solly gets the two with most rank pips waking up after a little detox and time. Nothing to do until they get conscious he sits down to wait.

Pierce, Cnosos and Gaetanna reach the bridge again, seeing the captain and Damon chatting.

Damon initiates the cruiser's sensors and gets the same data as Mel. The disc howers in place for a while, sweeps around the ships in a circle and returns to position. It then initiates a highenergy scan that disrupts the sensors for a second.
 

Damon looks up to see the others enter the bridge. "Cnosos, we need to get this ship's engines back on line ASAP. We've got a possible hostile vessel in close proximity. It just initiated a high-power scan of us..."
 

"Great" The greek man rubs the makeup out of his face, and heads towards the engine room, but stops before exiting the bridge. "I'll need a Syrran with me."
 

Damon nods and looks at the Syrran captain. "Captain, perhaps you could get one of your crew to aid Cnosos in the engine room? We've got to get this crate moving."
