After Earth - Episode II - Beyond Colonial Space.

"Annnd there they go," Mel mutters. "What, did I forget deodorant today?"

She signals the other crew.

"Greed here. I got a very terse, weird reply and then the other ship vanished. We've got a clear scope again."

That was strange. The captain states in amazement. Now, shall we continue where we left? As I was saying, our financial situation is not good, but I can offer you some technology that I doubt you could get elsewhere.

Solly manages to snatch some small items that seem useful and as the doctors start to wake up he heads back to the bridge.

The lights across the ship flicker a moment and then the intercomm in the bridge cracks in syrran.
[sblock=Syrran]Captain, we have partial power. The comm is online as well as other auxiliary systems. We have thrusters too but it will take a moment to get the cruise drive online.[/sblock]
 


Solly reappears on the bridge.

"The medical crew should be fine," he tells the Syrran captain. "It's a bit of a mess down in your sickbay, though. I wouldn't be surprised if it took them a while to find everything." He turns to Damon. "What's the sitch up here, boss?"
 

"I want their schematics of the antimatter engine and the propulsion enhancer. Also they weapon systems would be a nice addition. Beware Damon, they have already set up the power." whispers Cnosos to Damon by the intercom.
 

Damon smiles at the Captain, even as he hears Cnosos' voice over the intercom. "I'll let you negotiate the technology with our...um, negotiator. Gaetanna...this is Captain Archel. And Captain, I do believe your crew has restored at least minimal power? Would you like me to try getting this boat out of danger?" He turns to give Solly a nod. "Everything is well in hand up here, Doc."
 

Pierce attempts to inaudibly guffaw as he hears the no-money excuse. "What a crock," he mutters as he raises his body off the wall and turns to leave the bridge, deciding against it as he stops in the frameway. He turns back toward the others, "They guarding something juicy down below, Damon, something worth shooting me over and putting guns up to my head," he shows his plasma-scorched arm as proof of his revelation.
 

"Yes, their larvae." explains Cnosos in three words. After the few seconds required for Pierce to assimilate the idea of insect like larvae, the greek man contorts his face and curls his fingers, trying to look like a cockroach larvae. Not that they have larvae, but that he didn't know.
 

Gaetanna smiled as she pulled out her card computer and synced it to her HUD and began typing on it's glossy surface. "You will not have to worry, a technology exchange will adiquate enough, after all, any advance technology that we obtain will benifit our people as much as our saving this ship has benifited yours."

She put her card computer away, passed the bundle she carried to Peirce, then stepped forward as she extended her hand and formally introduced herself. "Gaetanna LeRouge Angel, I am pleased to meet you Captain.."
