Drake looked over at Jor as they said they started suiting up "Are you guys going out there..." he said as he looked around he couldn't figure out how he could join them out there. It seemed like an unlikely thing to happen "Hmm...I think I'm gonna have to sit this one out" Drake said in slight disappointment "Damn I probably shoulda stayed with Kitana and drank my brains out" he laughed.

Rita lifted the chest plate up to Jor's midsection and pressed it against the back plate, trapping Jor in the middle. with her free hand she used the power torque wrench to bolt the plate in its place with precision and expertise. she'd been doing this all her life, just not with her own limbs before.
Jor's Mk II armor was assembled around him in no time and in 15 minutes he was back on the bridge in full armor, Vera strapped across his chest, his amphistaff around his waist and his pistol in it's holster on his right hip.
"Status?" Jor asked.
Shipmaster Keldon turned in his command chair to face the ex jedi. "nothing as of yet. last sweep we did was empty, no traces. we're headed further into the unknown regions though. we're risking a lot by coming out this far into the unknown."
Jor nodded but just looked at the hyperspace tunnel. "We'll be fine." He assured.
Rita came and sat back down next to Drake and looked over his fighter pilot jumpsuit then looked back up at him. "i'm sure we'll think of something to get you over there." She said monotonously.

Karite rubbed his arms trying to get the flow of blood back into them as he stood up. "Your that mandalorain from the bar...." said Karite vaguely remembering the incident that had taken place weeks before. "Blaster is fine." said Karite as he waited for the man to throw him a blaster, however he was sure things where only going to get harder from here on in....
"I don't think it's such a good idea to go against these guys.... they out number us and have home feild advantage not to mention they may alr---" said Karite as he was interupted by the intercom.
"So it seems you have some skill, well by all means try and take this ship you'll have a hard time doing so." came the pirate captains voice. The hanger doors shut, and blasters in the hanger began to activate, stun bolts and non lethal blaster bolts began to fire. "Good luck staying conscious."
Karite dodged and weaved from the blaster fire, but he saw the whole hanger was lined with blasters, even if they could take out a few the hanger was just too big to get all the blasters, and it was about that time he got his in the arm falling down to the ground holding his arm. His arm singed with pain as he rolled back up to avoid some more blaster bolts, before getting hit in the back with a stun bolt....

Ash just tossed a blaster to Karite before the rounds started flying. He had his back to a crate as he grabbed the nearest blaster to him, and started to shoot. He felt a stun round glance off his helmet. He was disorientated for a moment, but was over and yelled at the X-Wing.
R2, make us a hole to get though, and cover us!
He felt his arm go numb as he was hit, but the armor took the attack; he was lucky enough to have it hit the armor. the R2 in the fighter activated it and lifted on its repulsers, and fired a quad-link blast into the closed door and into the corridor. Ash didn't stay and watch the havoc unfold, for after the heat wave, ran to Karite, picked him up running with little apparent effort, and ran for the new entry.
Just before he made it, he was shot in the back, and he collapsed on the ground, forcing himself to stay up and get to safety. With what he could muster, he pulled himself and Karite into the nearest room, locked the door, and he was engulfed in blackness. The room was just a big enough storage for him and Karite to lay down in. [/sub] |

Karite woke up with a splitting head ache and there was a humming noise as a force cage was around him as he looked up. Rubbing his head for a moment as he tried to focus his vision he looked up to see a man in a white labcoat. He was injecting a needle into a bottle and slowly came over to Karite. "The sedative seems to be wearing off, don't worry this wont hurt too much." said the man as he impaled Karite's neck. Pain shot through his neck as whatever the man had put into the bottle shot into his system.
Karite looked around as the force cage's energy feild came back up around him. He saw the mandalorain in the cage next to him, his armor had been stripped, along with weapons, and he was currently uncounious. He woundered how far the mandalorain had managed to make it before getting knocked out.
"Don't worry about your friend, I've already drugged him up as well." said the man as he returned to his table. "I'm supposed to keep you alive and cooperative until we get you to the local slave markets, but I was told if one of you acted up..... heh, I do hope the mandalorain is like his brethern so I can try a few experiments on him.... he seems to be of an unusual speices."
Karite wondered if they were out of hyperspace as he gazed around the room, feeling oddly lightheaded, he assumed it was because of the drugs he had been shot up with for the moment, and hopped it would pass. In fact the ship had already fallen out of hyperspace.

Ash felt fuzzy, but didn't know if he was awake or not. He heard something humming near him, but couldn't make out what it was. In a flash, his instincts kicked in, and he was on his feet...... only to get knocked over again. He rubbed his arm where he was attack, and when he rose slowly again, everything swam into focus.
There was a guard next to him who had beat him down. After all was focused in, he felt a sharp pain in his neck, and some fluid flow into his blood stream. His head started to spin, but it corrected itself a couple human heartbeats later. It was harder to keep his sight focused on anything.
Just wait. You are in up to your neck when my friends get here, and good luck getting another needle in my neck
Ash's voice was slightly slurred when he spoke, but at least one could understand him. Even now, the Blade was on its way here with its near full compliment of starfighters, plus whoever else decided to fallow them.
The golden field shimmered to life when the guards and the doc exited the cage. [/sub] |

Merlin exited hyperspace for the 8th time since they'd started their search and nearly landed right on top of the 40 year old Carrack cruiser the pirates were using.
Shipmaster Keldon gripped the arms of his chair tightly. "Helm all stop, 90 degrees to port."
the bridge lurched in the emergency maneuver. Jor's armor kept him upright but Rita and the rest of the crew had to make a quick leg adjustment to stay balanced. Jor turned to Drake and Rita. "airlock 2, on the double, he shouted over the din of proximity alarms."
The Merlin pulled alongside the Carrack cruiser and stopped a mere 200 meters from the hull of the larger vessel.
Rita grabbed Drake by the collar and hoisted him up. "Time to go Drake." She said.
Rita rushed after Jor with drake held in front of her all the way to airlock 2. Jor was already inside at the control panel. Rita pushed Drake into the airlock and reached down to his flightsuit. He pulled the release on the front panel of the flightsuit and watched the emergency field form around Drakes body, trapping air against his body. "Told you we'd think of something." Rita said.
Jor smiled and hit the button. The room depressurized and the door opened silently. Jor wrapped one arm around Drake and one arm around Rita He jumped form the airlock and when he was clear of the Merlin he fired the ion boosters. The three of them shot like a rocket to the pirate ship.

Drake watched as Jor finished getting ready when Rita sat next to him he smirked some. He then looked at what he was wearing as she did "So, how do you suppose we go about getting me out there?" he asked with a laugh "I mean I really can't breathe in space, being an android you probably can though right...?" he laughed before she picked him up by his collar "Hey what the hell are you doin?" he asked her he then shut up as she walked him to the airlock with Jor.
When she sat him down he sighed "Well that was a tad bit" he didn't finish because she pulled the emergency thingy on his flight suit "Rita what are you doin now" he asked before the air was trapped against his body "Great plan but is this gonna work?" Drake asked but before he could get his answer he was grabbed by Jor and was out airlock as they flew to the pirate ship Drake had a look of utter fear on his face.

Jor's booted feet struck the hull of the cruiser with a thud. Jor let go of Rita and grabbed a hold of the ships hull with his now free hand. Rita grabbed onto it herself and pulled out a fusion cutter. She got to work on cutting her way through the hull.
Jor held onto Drake and watched. A few minutes later and Rita had a square section cut out on three sides. Jor wedged a hand through the cut and lifted with all the strength his armor could muster. the several inch thick layer of metal bent upwards. Rita added her strength and the metal bent outwards more.
Jor slipped Drake in through the hole that was made and Rita followed after him. Jor climbed in and pulled the plate down after him. He held the section of hull down as Rita grabbed her fusion cutter and resealed the hull.
The whole process took 20 minutes. they were in the ship and the area they had infiltrated had been repressurized once rita had resealed it. Jor unstrapped Vera from his chest and let its fall into his hands. Rita put the cutter away and hefted her Z-6.
"Drake, do you want to do your lone drunken killer thing or you wanna be a team player?" Jor asked.

Drake just well let Jor hold him as he and Rita took care of everything. He watched as they cut open a hole opened they all jumped in and fixed the hole. When Jor put him down and took off his Vera Drake stood up and dusted himself off. "Okay thats something I would rather not do again, so we should probably try to land this ship somewhere with air" he said as he fixed his pilot suit so the air wasn't traped around him anymore. Drake pulled out one of his saber hilts and a flask he took a sip from the flask. "I hate coffee..." he said before turning back to Jor "Lead the way I'll do the team player thing this time" he said.

Karite looked around, there was nothing to use as a weapon, and he looked up for a moment to the top of the force cage, and then stood up slowly leaning against the back of the cage. "Well, seems like we're in quite a pickle." said Karite as he looked at the man going through some files ignoring them for the most part. Karite looked at the force cage more seeing if there was a way out, the energy field kept him from moving but he saw they were in actual cages as well. The cage bars surrounded the outside of the force cage, and the man working turned around and looked at them. "I'm glad you show such spirit, but i'm curious as to what speices you are." Karite sighed, he had managed to get him into a mess. "I'll remember not to trust stangers from now on."

The Blade Edge exited hyperspace about a kilometer from the Carrack cruiser, and opened fire with all her weapons, witting the cruiser low. The fighters around the Blade fired dual torpedoes as well as their lasers. In unison, all ships threw their thrusters into reverse, and started backing away.
----------------------
You will just need to wait and find out.... If you live long enough to that point
Ash turned around. His force cage was off the wall; bad for them, but good for Ash. He touched the back of the cage, and was zapped slightly. It didn't hurt, more like a tingle. He went to touch it again when, but the ship rocked, and the glowing around the cage, and the lights ceased to work for a couple of heart beats. Ash punched his cage in the near darkness, the back denting. It hurt his hand, but he didn't give up.
He managed to get in several good dents before the lights came back on.
Looks like we have some friends here to help, and I don't need to hide anymore.
Ash pressed his hands to the golden entrance of his cage; well, let his hands almost touch the entrance. Blue electricity flowed from Ash, shorting out the force cage. He was against the bars when the man, who now had a blaster, walked closer to Ash. When he was in range of Ash, he let off a burst of blue lightning, and fried him, the hairs on his head catching on fire. Ash turned his head to Karite. Normally golden eyes glowing blue.
How would you like to get out.
A burst of blue lightning and the golden entrance of the cage shorted out, and it wasn't even Ash who did that: the cage went out itself. Using all of his strength, Ash grasped the bars and started to heave them apart with all of his strength. He let electricity flow into them, heating the metal, thus making it weaker.
Come on...... bend enough........ already. [/sub] |

"Good man." Jor said. He stood up and looked either way down the corridor. He sorta kinda knew where he was. He'd been on Carracks before but they'd made some modifications.
Jor pointed down on end of the corridor and motioned with his rifle. "This way... i think. Rita, take point, Drake cover our rear." Jor said.
Rita leveled the Z-6 rotary blaster canon and started down the corridor. Jor followed after her, his rifle pointed down the corridor over her shoulder. "We need to get to the hanger first. it'll be a few dozen meters or so down here and to the left a few more meters."
Meanwhile outside, the Merlin was struck by three turbolaser blasts fired from the Blade. The Cutter corvette backed away from the Carrack and hit her engines. Turbolaser fire from the Blade continued strike the Carrack.
Shipmaster Keldon leaned forward in his chair. The Centauri shipmaster had his comm officer open a channel to the Blade. "Attention, unidentified ship, this is the Merlin, corvette in the League of Non-Aligned Systems fleet. I have people on board that cruiser and i'm ordering you to cease fire now or i'll be forced to take your actions as hostile."

When the pirate ship began to take fire, it reentered the same cordinance and jumped back to hyperspace to escape the battle field. Meanwhile inside the ship, the guard saw Ash trying to escape and with a force pike lunged through the bars at Ash to stun or zap the hell out of him. Karite feeling helpless waited in his force cage. It finally went out and he came forward wishing he had a lightsaber as he looked at the bars... he came close and then from his robes shot his wings straight through the thin bars hitting the man backwards with his strong wind muscles, and then looked at Ash. "If your trying to heat it up with electricity... it's going to be awhile.... If i had my lightsaber this would be much easier." said Karite.

Ash jumped back, only feeling the prick of the point. His skin constantly dealt with electricity, that he didn't even feel it, and was nearly immune to its effects. He grabbed the pike, and smashed the end into its wielders face, and then beat away by a set of wings. Ash let the pike lay on the ground near his feet.
I'm trying to bend them so I can slip out.
Ash started to pinch one of the bars, denting it, but he gave up, and just started to hit the back of the cage, where it was just a sheet of dented metal. When his hands started to hurt, he kicked it, dealing more damage. He trusted Karite would watch his back however he could.
----------------------
Attention Merlin! This is the mandalorian Cruiser Blade Edge. We also have a man on board. We are attempting to disable it, and be advised that its hanger is out of commission, and its engines should be damaged. We have tracer on it. Sending you the code so that you can give us a hand disabling it for us.
-----------------------
If you had a Lightsaber, we wouldn't be here in the first place. if you were a jedi, or a sith, you could have used it back in the hanger. I just hope the X-Wing made it out and not be destroyed when R2 figured out that we were somewhat safe.
The repeated pounding have taken a toll on the metal plate, and it was caving in. [/sub] |
