Mission 3, Day 1, 20:15
“This is the TF Black Knight scout ship over.”, informs Kate. “pppssshhh … arachnids … pppssshhh … escape pods overrun preventing jettison … pppssshhh … make for aft airlock … pppssshhh.”, came the reply.
The Black Knight races towards the stricken transport while the squad looks at the eerie jelly ball passing by. Kate remarks, “Looks like the transport is in serious trouble sir, if that substance had such adhesive properties that we struggled to break free the transport never stood a chance.”
“Sir I suggest we try and hook up with an airlock that is still exposed from the ball and board from there. We will have to keep the timing tight as that jelly substance would be slowly enveloping the rest of the transport.”, says Kate to Sarge.
As the Black Night started to slow and line up with an airlock Kate yells, “We got bogies coming in fast! I got 4 firefry bugs coming in at 2 o’clock!”. “Sarge I’ve heard about that little buggers before, able to survive in deep space away from the bug hive and have a nasty caustic flame attack!”
Sarge informs the squad, “Alright apes, we’re going to dock and offload the boarding party so that Kate can take care of those firefry!”. He then hurriedly runs over to the chancellor and starts to explain what is happening but from what Mel can see the chancellor does not seem happy at all! While the two are still in a heated discussion the Black Knight docks with the transport… “Mel go!”, yells Sarge and looks back at the chancellor trying to resolve this issue.
The airlock engages and the doors slide open to the transport. The squad is currently standing in the staging area to the rear of the Black Knight.
Squad actions please.
