"You saying you liked it in there?" Hutch asked as he piloted the sub. Their vessel rose as fast as he could make it without damaging the hull with the pressure differential. He smiled when she asked what he was going to do with his money.
"i'm going to invest it... in porn... and a zipline pulley system used to transport deliciously flavored snacks from one part of the ship to another."

No, I didn't like it very much in there,, and you need to work on some better investments.
Akira laughed and looked out the window, watching the fish swim by. At this rate, they would be at the surface soon. It was too quiet down in the lab, and that have her goosebumps, but maybe everyone just took off without wanting to play around. Oh well.
Can't we go any faster? I want to get off this planet before the storm grounds us. [/sub][/b]

"If we go too fast we'll blow up. So trying to avoid that particular fate, i have decided to surface as fast as possible without getting us killed." Hutch said mater of factly.
It was minutes and the sub surfaced just outside the marina entrance. Hutch spun the sub's wheel and turned them towards their dock. The weather had really taken a turn for the worse and the rain was coming down hard now. Hutch guided it into the slip and didn't bother to engage the docking clamps. the waves were big enough that they were pushing the sub nicely up against the dock.
"And i don't care what you say. A zip line snack system would be awesome. Hungry for a late night snack? push a button and bam, a hotdog right there for you. Want some chips but can't leave the cockpit? Bang, chips already in a bowl zipping down the corridor just for you." Hutch was quite proud of his budding invention. He had no idea how to make it work yet but that wasn't important. what was important was that now he was thinking about food had made him hungry.
"I'm hungry."

You must be pretty lazy if you want to install a zip-line system. It's just going to go down the drain, however you decide to look at it.
Akira leaned back, looking out at the ocean again. She felt the lab growing distant as they rose towards the surface, but she still didn't let he guard down. It was something she learned the hard way when she was younger.
And if you're hungry, go find something to eat. I'm sure there is something to eat on this thing. [/sub]

"It's not lazy. It's working smarter instead of harder." Hutch said. He unstrapped himself from the seat and got up. He zipped up his jacket to protect him from the rain.
"Food can wait. I'll make sandwiches when we get back to the ship." He moved to the back of the ship to the compartment where Akira had found the hidden stuff. On the far wall a large duffel bag which he began filling with the pistols and rifles. A quick inspection of the weapons revealed that the serial numbers were filed off and they had been stored loaded. Hutch made sure to unload them before stuffing them in the duffel bag. The armors he left in place. No sense in taking them along. He plucked his comlink from his breast pocket and spoke into it. "Chuck, we're on our way back, ETA 10 minutes. You know that secret compartment in Cargo bay 2 we built?"
"Yes sir." Came BB Chuck's reply.
"Open it please, i have some things that will need to be put in there." Hutch said and then hung up. He put the strap on the bag around his neck and headed for the external hatch.

If you say so.
Akira propped her feet up and leaned back, hands behind her head. She closed her eyes, and nearly fell asleep, but caught herself and stood up, stretching. She heard movement behind her and went to go see what it was, but it was just Hutch stealing the weapons.
Now I wonder if they will be missed, the guns.
She went back into the cab to watch their progress on their rising. [/sub]

"They're illegal, whoever bought them deserves this." Hutch said. He popped the hatch and climbed out of the sub. Working the duffel though the hatch was a little difficult but he managed it and stood up in the rain.
"Come on, i want to get back to the ship. It's time to get paid." He shouted down through the hatch. The guns could be sold but for now he wanted to get back to Zeltros and give the boss lady her information.

Right behind you.
Once Hutch and the duffel-bag full of weapons were through the hatch, Akira forced jumped through it, landing lightly on her feet. Her strait black outfit was hard to pick up in the darkness and rain, but her pink hair easily stood out. Rain instantly plastered her hair down.
Race you there.
Akira smiled and took off towards the ship, ready to get out of the rain and the storm, but she didn't run using the force, so she was moderately fast. [/sub]

Hutch watched her take off, not chasing after her. He looked up to the cloudy sky, rain drops hit his face and he smiled. He lowered his head and watched her as she ran out in front of him. He tightened the strap on his duffel bag and broke into a quick jog. He wasn't going to race but he wasn't going to make her wait outside the ship very long either.
Rain hit him as he jogged and his jacket got soaked. His normally curly hair was quickly matted to his head and his shoes splashed through the puddles in the street.
When he got to the ship he pulled out his datapad and ordered the boarding ramp to descend. He walked up the ramp and dropped the duffel bag in the middle of the hallway and headed for the cockpit. He grazed his fingers along the walls as he walked. He was back where he should be.
He slipped over the back of the couch and started powering up the engines. He went onto the holonet and got the latest weather reports for their area.

Akira was surprised that Hutch didn't hardly try to beat her, but she brushed that aside. Once the boarding ramp was down, she walked up it and went strait to the cabin, fallowing hutch there. She slid into the sensor suite's chair and helped power everything on.
Coming on green. She used the force to power up the communication gear. So far so good. Yumi, hack into ground control and get us a free pass off this water-hole.
She was welling when she called at Yumi. The droid would be able to handle it, though. She didn't hear a conformation, so the droid must have been working on it already. [/sub]

Hutch watched her work out of the corner of his eye as he began the checklist for takeoff. The computer put itself through it's paces, running all the diagnostics. He looked across the couch at her and raised his eyebrows a few times. "Your pretty good at that darlin." Without breaking his look on her he reached up and flipped a switch for the docking clamps. "But you'd best sit back and watch how a actual pilot flies my ship."
He leaned back in couch and pulled back on the yoke with him. A flip of the switch on the yolk cut in the repulsorlifts and the ship lurched off the ground with the whine of the repulsor engine as it ramped up its power. Another series of switch flips later and the landing gear was retracting into the ship.
Lighting struck the exterior of the hull but it had little effect on the ship itself. It was shielded against such surges to protect it in such poor weather. However, while it didn't effect the ship hardly. Mr. Blue had received quite a shock at his spot, clinging to the landing gear mechanism. He maintained his grip however and the landing gear locked in place, sealing him in the gear well.
The Johnny 5 broke for orbit at best possible speed. Hutch pushed the throttles forward. As soon as they were free of the gravity well of the planet he pushed them the rest of the way, and the stars streaked towards them and twisted into the tunnel of hyperspace.

Have it your way. I'm going to get some sleep. Wake me when we get back to base.
Akira stood, using the force to steady herself. She yawned, stretched, then started to walk back to her and Yumi's room. The droid was plugged into a recharge port in the room, which explained why she didn't reply to Akira's calling.
Akira stripped off her weapons and armor, crawled into her bead, and fell asleep. Minutes later, Yumi 'woke up.' saw that Akira was asleep, and just sat in the chair she was already in. There was nothing for her to do, so she would just wait out the trip. [/sub]
