Off On The Rim

Talon Darkstrider: Human/Male (Scoundrel/Soldier)

Talon curses their luck as he figures out what to say next, “Tower no theirs no need of maintenance crew as we are well capable of handing the situation.” This is fallowed up before the tower can reply in near pleading voice, “The venting is internal with no possibility of escape into the atmosphere we would rather handle this is while in space.”

Closing the comm he yells back to the others, “Anyone have any ideas?”

"We're not that badly crunched for time. Tell them we're fixing it, but get the others at the guns in case we need them. I'll cover the hatch for now; if they get suspicious, I can suit up and pretend to make some exterior repairs. Just convince them we've got it under control."

 

[KitanaVorr]

"Your Highness, this is not a drill! Your father has been taken by unknown assailants!"

Klurtz nearly got plowed over as the door open and an irate-looking princess come storming out toward the bridge. While they were speaking to the tower, she marched along the corridor to their location.

"If this is some kind of a joke because you people are just too bored to be doing your jobs," the young woman began even as her eyes took in the sight of them scurrying about with a bit of puzzlement.

"You!" Her fingers snapped at Lance. "What was your name again? Whatever, its not important. Were you the one yelling over the intercom to me about my father? Has he called? Do we get to go now? Because I have got to start shopping right away for that dress!"

"Highness, a man by the name of Pathran commed us, with the proper codes, claiming that your father had been taken. He was unable to identify the assailants. We are leaving the planet as soon as Talon can convince the authorities to let us do so, or as soon as it becomes necessary to shoot our way out. I would appreciate it if, in the future, you pay more attention when your life may be threatened."

Princess Kai eyed Lance for a moment with her rather intense dark eyes that had a knack for making people feel like bugs pinned in a private collection. "Let me get this straight." She extended her left hand, glancing at it as if it were a fascinating object.

"Someone calls claiming my father is being kidnapped or worse." She brought her thumb inward to touch her palm. "So all of you, and I suppose, that would mean the few of you here running around like a bunch of womp rats with their heads cut off, have decided to get out of here without consulting me." Then the second finger came down.

"From the looks of it, you decide that the best way to get out of here to is make a huge scene with klaxons screaming." Pinky finger came down. "Now you've managed from what I make of the babble as I come on the bridge, to get us locked in even tighter." Ring finger came down. "And this is what I think of your condescending remark."

Kai gave Lance a sweet smile and waggled her remaining middle finger before glancing over at Talon. "Why didn't you just ask them to open the doors and ask for flight clearance?"

"Your Highness, we tried to consult you before making any decisions. You were unavailable. If you would prefer, in the absence of orders, we do absolutely nothing, you have but to say so, and I will obey to the best of my ability. Otherwise, your safety is a higher priority than your happiness."

Daos, who has since the start been leaning relaxed against a nearby bulkhead, supresses a grin, sensing what is coming shortly. He waits silently, the grin slowly emerging, as Kai quietly looses her ire.

"Why didn't you just ask them to open the doors and ask for flight clearance?"

Masking the grin behind an expressionless face again, Daos murmurs, "A fair question."

Talon Darkstrider: Human/Male (Scoundrel/Soldier)

Talon doesn’t looks at the princess as he counties the preflight check list as he address her, “Well we do not know if your location has be compromised to the enemy, and flight plans take time, your father enemies could easy be in system as out of system. We might be in tighter but at the same time no one is going to get to the ship with out the legal authority realizing it. Oh and Princess, ships this size don’t have a bridge they have a cockpit.”

He stops working on the checklist for a second and pulls the headset from his ears, “Do you think you can solve this issue with your contacts?”

 

[Festy_Dog]

Has there been any confirmation of what is happening over the space comlink? The lazer placements are ready should we need immediate reaction. Lance is a little too cautious for my liking.

Kluurz shrugs, but not before getting plowed into by the human woman rushing to the cockpit.

"Got as much of an idea as you do," Kluurz replies, regaining his balance, "Need a hand with anything? I was just gonna go sit back down in the cockpit."

 

[KitanaVorr]

“Oh and Princess, ships this size don’t have a bridge they have a cockpit.”

Kai waved an hand unconcernedly. "Bridge, cockpit, whatever your compensating for, I don't care. I can call it the lounge if I want to."

“Do you think you can solve this issue with your contacts?”

"Why? Because the next step is to blast through the hanger bay doors in the very subtle move to get me out of here?" The princess scoffed and then marched over to the comm, muttering something rude under her breath. "Turn off all the damn noise!"

She gave everyone a look that indicated that silence was in order and when that occured, and she then flipped the switch. Suddenly her voice became very smooth, very sweet. "Hello? Hello? Tower people?"
