Shal nods. "That doesn't sound like much fun...you could just stay here and...not do that...get trashed with us." She grabs the bottle of redin, and offers it out to him.

[Gumby]

Conner accepts the bottle, and downs a shot. Gagging, he said.

"Ugh, can't abide that crap. No offense, It's fire ale for me."

Above, The AAC's captain asked for a status report.

"Sir, the cold jump drained the coil guns and the beam cannons. Missile pods are online, shall I select a target?" A deckhand said.

"Yes, target both bladeships, iif either moves, fire enough to overload shields. Start warming the coil guns, and charge the beam cannons."

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shal frowns at him, "You are such a d*mn trouble maker. Why don't you just leave them alone? They're doing you no harm right now. And you seem to be forgetting, right now, the Yeerks in this bar significantly outnumber the other side." Shal bites her lip, and takes the bottle back.

[Breekan1]

Breekan looks outside nervously. "Isn't that a tad dangerous? Having two bladeships explode right in our orbit can't be good for the building. And it certainly can't be good for my ship, which I reserve the right to not have explode in some Yeerk-human nonsense.

[Gumby]

"If you knew what those slugs did to earth, you would be the same way. We are at war, they nearly wiped us, now we are going to whip them into submission, we cant let them go on taking over everyone can we. And you outnumber me here, but I have a war ship up there, so don't get any smart ideas."

"Sir, the coilguns are at fifty percent charge. Beam weapons at twenty percent."

"Thank you."

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shal raises an eyebrow at Connor, and glances at B1 "Sweetie, we've been around longer than you've been alive. We've seen every race they've taken over. We've seen the damage they've caused, but we've also seen the damage that other species have caused. How is their invasion any different than humans wiping out entire species? It's terrible, but to me, not quite as bad as the destruction others have done. And besides, Breekan is right. If you destroy this place, and you will if they fire at such close range, I can guarantee that you will live no longer than few moments past our deaths." She takes a swig from the bottle of Redin.

[Gumby]

"One, we a'int dong genocide. We are just going after the fighting ones, the council of thirteen. Most Yeerks just want to swim around and walk around in bodies. So, we have created robot bodies for those ones, but we still need to take out the baddies."

[Kit Cloudkicker]

"Well, these guys don't exactly seem like they're fighting. They seem like they're enjoying a drink. You're the one who's fighting. The only one who's fighting, might I add..."

[Gumby]

Conner rolled his eyes. He pulled out a little screen.

"Watch this." He turned it on. It showed human soldiers firing at hork-bajir, and hork-bajir ripping people apart. The screaming women grabbed her baby and was vaped by a dracon beam. Tan ESF ships fought yeerk blade ships and pool ships, dracon beams boiling through Titanium armour, and destroying cruisers, and frozen bodies in space."

"Oh, their fighting all right. i don't mean you, but the other ones, the bad ones."

[Kit Cloudkicker]

"Yes, but they aren't." She gestures towards the other bar patrons. "If you're so blood-thirsty, go after someone else, and leave this place alone."


(going to go out for a while, be back in a few hours)

[Gumby]

"I mean you and these other people at the bar, besides the vissrs of course."

"Captain Coil guns online, loaded and ready to shoot on command."

[Kit Cloudkicker]

Shal sighs. "Connor, really? Come on. Just leave these guys alone. They're not doing anything to you right now. Wait until they're gone, and off doing whatever damage it is they might do. Right now though? They're not doing anything. It makes you just as scummy as they are if you attack them unprovoked. Just forget about it, sit down, shut up, and get smashed."

[Myitt]

"If your guys up there so much as think about targeting my fighter, I'll...be very upset," Myitt says, gesturing with her empty redin glass.

[Gumby]

"Dont worry, not your fighter. Just the bladeships. And Shal, we are at war. If you find the enemy on the ground, you blast them. There is no honour in war, no matter what crap media gives you. In war, you kill the enemy, before he gets you. I used to think the war could be won with fairness and honour. While, I saw the yeerks ignite the atmosphere of one of our colony worlds, and burned the place to a glass ball, ten million civilians, slaughtered. In  this war, there is no quarter asked nor none given. It is sad, but true. I would not kill you, or anyone in this bar, but the vissers. You aren't into the war, you just want to live normally, and I am fine with that. I however, will fight until there is peace, or until I am dead. Whichever comes first."

[Breekan1]

"Media? Holy ****, do we get like, TV way out here?" Breekan asks, dryly. He presses a panel on one of his pockets and releases a blood-stained sock. It is very small. He hands it to Conner.

"I ate that sock's owner," he mentions over another shot of Taxxon fluid. "I only remember bits and pieces. Crayak believes there's no honor in war either."
