Galaxy's Edge Space Bar (archive)

[Agent X]

X shrugs at Hunter and sticks the knife back in the sheath of her boot.  Instead of answering his question, she asks her own. "Who the f*ck're you?"  Though of course, there's no blood on the floor or on the knife so evidence suggests that probably nothing happened.

X allows herself to be pushed to the side by Shal/Jess and grumbles "The hell's your problem?" before lighting up the second cigarette of the day.

[Gumby]

"Thank you. Hello, hello? ESF Frigate Structure of Summer, can you read me?"

"Hello, this is Structure of Summer, this is a restricted military channel. what are you doing?"

"Structure of Summer, this is flight captain Conner, i mmade a blind z-space jump and laned in that old bar, galaxy edge. My ships totalled and I need pick up, can you oblidge?"

"Certainly, we will be there witing the hour." The transmission stopped. Conner turned to Sub.
"Thanks for lending me that communicator."

[SubVisser46OTAM]

She grins and nods, moving to the control pat to shut some things down and turn others back on. "No problem. Although it suprises me that you would be willing to climb alone into a ship with a Yeerk." a bit of a teasing tone to her voice on the last sentence.

[Gumby]

"Yeah, a bit surprising."

An hour later

About an hour later, a z-space tunnel opened up. Out of it came a tan ship the size of a very large mall. It was shaped like a star wars y-wing, but in between the two engines there was a third engine. in the nose of it, some sort of weapon budded out as a black barrel. A transport came out of it and landed next to them. A man in uniform came out.

"Captain, come with us. we better not be to long, we jumped close to a yeerk blade ship and it might follow us-" His sentence died as out of z-space came a yeerk blade ship. Along with thirty bug fighters.

"Son of a b*tch. Visser 5." Muttered the man. "Okay, you come with me to the ship, and get into a bird. looking at Sub, he asked.

"Can you fly?"

[SubVisser46OTAM]

A look of excitement and rage passes across Sub's face and she laughs out a harsh laugh,"Do dogs pee on brick walls?" and she runs into her ship. It quickly powers up, and as she takes off, she connects to the Dome ship. A pissed off looking Andalite stands behind her <What is the meaning of this, Sub-Visser 47?> She keeps her back turned to him, a blatant sign of disrespect,"Space Bar is under attack Contrana. I suggest yanking that blade outta yer a** and hauling tail out here."

Contrana's face darkens a couple of shades in anger and his tail twitches <You WILL address me properly, Sub!>

She snerks,"Yeah, I'll do that when you address me properly, also. Don'tchya think this is the wrong time for this?" She engages one of the bug fighters, expertly maneuvering around it, seeming to be playing with it some before going for a kill shot.

The Andalite scowls at her, and says with much distaste <Prince Sub-Visser 46, what are your coordinates? And one more show of insubordination, and my tail will sever Nikki's head from her shoulders before you can even THINK about a quick escape.>

Sub chuckles and maneuvers around, easily finding the fighter's weakness and taking the kill shot,"Threaten me one more time, War Prince Contrana, private thought speak or not, and it will be my blade at your throat, I assure you." and she gives him the coordinates. "Oh, and it looks like an in-atmosphere battle. Come prepared." disdain dripping in her voice before she cuts the transmission out.

[Gumby]

Conner and the man got to the ship. They got to the hangers and Conner ran to a fighter. It was a flying wing design, with a beam weapon mounter underneath and twenty missiles.He jumped in, powered up, and took off. About twenty five others, the Frigates full group, where flying beside him. There was a blinding red glare, and the bladeships main dracon cannons fired, taking out an engine. He heard the captain on his radio yell.

"Fire the main coil gun!" The bud in the nose of the ship, a large magnetic acceleration cannon, fired at the Bladeship. It missed by an inch. Conner targeted a bug fighter with his computer. He fired a missile which disabled the shields, then he fired his beam cannon and vaped it. Another boom shook the earth as the coil gun fired and hit the bladeship. Boom! One of the 'blades' on the bladeship exploded and fell off. he bladeship returned fire, but missed. Conner locked onto a bug and fired his beam cannon and destroyed another bug. three more followed suite, but ten of the frigates rapier fighters had been disabled or destroyed. The captains voice on the radio again.

"Damn it, the main cannon lock on system is down, we're shooting blind!" The bladeship took this advantage and fired it's guns at the human fighter, destroying three. Conner took down two more bugs.

"Sub, get your ass up here now!"

[SubVisser46OTAM]

"Sorry, Conner, problems with management. Ya know how those Andalites are." and she zips around, taking out a couple of bug fighters before going to take on the blade ship, maneuvering around it, causing as much damage as she possibly could. ((you go ahead and decide how much. She's a very, very experienced fighter. Also has a gashad on her head, so she would probably be pulling a bit of attention. Killing her would be a nice quick promotion. :-D ))

[Gumby]

"Oh ****. The coil gun fired several more times, one hit. One minor hit. Subs damage had reduced the enemy squadrons to ten. Human strength at 12. Conner moved in, and fired at the bladeship some more, causing barely any damage. Then, the coil gun fired again.

BOOM! The Bladeship was hit amid ships, it started going out of control, then, BOOM! The bridge exploded. The bladeship spiraled to the ground. The frigate was okay, but its z-space engine was out, so it was forced to land until repairs were done. Conner lande and went to the bar.

"I'm back, and we kicked ass.'

[SubVisser46OTAM]

Sub follows the Blade ship down. She wasn't going to let these guys get away with tucking their tails and running! She keeps fighting, reveling in the mid-air dogfight until there are no bug fighters left. She waits in the air, checking her watch, wondering where the hell her backup is. If she had anything to do with it, that blade ship was going to FRY, helpless and dead on the ground or not!

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shal stops and turns back to X. "Sorry. Nothing. Just trying to hurry back out...I was helping Hunter with his ship. Can you help me carry all of this crap out?" She asks, gesturing to the welding equipment that the BT has now piled onto the bar.

[Myitt]

Myitt sets her empty glass down and picks up a black welding device, turning it over thoughtfully.  "Yeah, come on, let's help this Hunter fellow."  She shakes her head, picking up another big black metal machine, straining.  "Okay, I haven't been working out lately..."

She lugs the stuff outside, then pauses.  Crickets are chirping.  "Where the heck is everyone?"  Sub, that suspicious new guy Conner...

[Gumby]

Conner looked around for the BT.

"Bartender, where are you?"

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shal follows Myitt's lead, and pulls on a welding mask, and long gloves. She picks up a couple of small pieces of equipment, and walks out of the bar, standing next to Myitt. "Where the hell is Sub?" She stares at the various ships for a moment longer, than walks back over to Hunterr.

"What do we need to do? Myitt is going to help...maybe some others. I can take care of the welding piece of the work, if you let me know what you need done."

[Gumby]

Conner walked outside to where Shal and Myitt where.

"Oh, there you are. What you looking at?"

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shal turns around, and looks at Connor. "We're trying to figure out where the he** Sub went...and Hunter here needs some help with his ship..."
