Its hands were pulse weapons and its head (if you can call it that) Was a dome with lots of circuits and flashing Lights.
"Are you the receptionist? We'd like two single rooms each with a sea view a continetal breakfast and a wakeup call at nine please." Seryn asked leveling her weapon at the mechanical beast.
LMAO!!!
OOC: Will post again soon, just thought I'd update you with my decision regarding the Sereni-Tree. I'm there at the minute but I think posting in 3 different "adventure" threads (this, SereniTree and Destiny) as well as trying to write a fanfic is a bit much. Since I'm not keen on the comedy of SereniTree, I think I'll leave that for a while. And my explanation for being there when Safe left on the Dagger? Well I'll stick on the SereniTree for a bit and then get TRM to open a portal to teleport me to this thread.
Also, Seryn, whilst Unbound is a good title for what's happening in this thread, are you planning on keeping it for followup threads eg Unbound and the ... (whatever). Otherwise, maybe you could use the suggestion I made at Sereni-Tree. Call this Special Branch:Unbound (then just call the others Special Branch:(Something else))
Just a suggestion.

(ooc -I was actually hoping for suggestions, unbound is quite frankly, crap. But the only other name icould think of was Adventurers Anonymous (as in Alchoholics...) so I nobody objects i will go with Special Branch.)
Seryn wakes up, her entire skin tingling with the effect of the stun. The robot still click and whirrs, rotating what she can only assume is it eye to monitor their every twitch. She looks down towards her feet "when did i put my boots back on...?" and beyond them to where Wisp lies prone, Arm thrown out at an odd angle. She wonders if it got broken or something, then realises hes reaching for his gun, the whizzy gizmo, that had turned back into its non-threatening form during the robots attack. The questing fingers locate it, and attempt to pull it towards them, and a small scraping noise prompt the robots 'head' to rotate towards the source of the noise.
If I get zapped again Wispy my dear, you are so for it.." she think, then moans softly, pulling the robots attention back to her. She moans again, then raises the back of her hand to her forhead. Way to go Sarah Bernhardt!

OOC: Sorry, softball practice went a little late last night and of course we had to sit around jawing and having a few beer afterwards...
Here's the link for the pictures of the ISSCV so you have an idea of the size and layout 
Let's back up just a little bit....
"Hyper-space is becoming unstable!" Bear says struggling at the controls."Grunt, what's going on?"
"Readings indicate that our mass is out of kilter." Grunt replies scanning his controls. "The ISSCV for some reason has increased in mass."
"Takes us out Bear" Safe says and turns to Grunt. "How could it suddenly get heavier?"
There is a stomach jarring moment as the Dagger slides out of hyperspace.
"There's a ship attached to it and the scans indicate there are people on board. And for some reason, the holographic projectors in the ISSCV are on line. The reality/attitude shift over Commerce must have messed with the ISSCV's circuitry. The holographic projector is channeling all the ships power." Grunt informs Safe.
"Shut it down and restore the ships systems, let's get to bottom of this." Safe says and punches the comm. "ISSCV, come in please."
In the ISSCV, Wisp grabs at his weapon, cringing at the expected pulse blast. Seryn, eyes closed, also awaits the end, but nothing happens. Everything is quiet for a moment, then the hums of systems powering up startles her eyes open.
She and Wisp are sitting on the floor, Needy looking down at them shocked. The Nandi, instead of being docked inside the ship was still latched to the outside, the connecting hatch open and the bunnies playing mini bunnies round-up in and out of the hatch.
"Nice show!" Citizen calls from the co-pilots chair where he has his feet propped on the consol.
Responding to the hail, Citizen keys up the comm. “Hey Safe, ‘bout time you looked back.”
OOC: I like the sound of that title too, plus there is Citizen suggestions of Farfly or Firescape add mine of Firefly: Above and Beyond.

Seryn lies back, stares at the bulkhead, which is suddenly a hell of a lot closer, and thinks for maybe a minute or two.
"Ok, thinking hurts, so, someone explain to me, what just happened, why the ship appears to have a facelift, an exactly where Robbie the robot both came from and went too....
On second thought I don't think I want to know."
She pulls herself upand sits in the pilots chair, absent mindedly smacking Citizen ankles off the console, the surroundings once again familiar. She catches sight of the rabbits and grimaces "I ain't even gonna think about that..."
"OK, any word from Safe and the guys yet?"
(ooc - So was that a vote for Special Branch or a Firescape variant?)

Wisp was still a little groggy from the fake energy blast and set about trying to explain it away. He didnt like things happening that he couldnt explain so he walked over to the now working console and started looking at the ships schematics.
It turns out that as its a military transport it has holograms to disguise it and repel intruders. Add to that a little neuro-disruption field and most people stay away from it.
He and Seryn however werent clever enough to be held under that bracket of scoiety.
After relaxing in his chair happy with his new discovery he started working on his next master plan. How to restart the engines........

*loves Wisp endearing way of thinking out loud*
"Oh, well thats good, for a moment I thought the white goods were rebelling"
She sets about testing which systems are operational, and which need Wisps attention, as well as periodically trying the comms again, trying to raise Safe and the others on the Dagger.

“Citizen. Glad to hear from you. And Seryn, isn’t it? We thought we lost everyone in that phenomenon over Commerce.” Safe replied.
“Who all is back there and of them who can pilot? We’re gonna land in a remote area of Boros, do some repairs and take stock of our situation. Whatever That phenomena was, really messed with our systems. Grunt says we need to put down for a bit while he recalibrates.”
“What’s the status back there?”

She raises an eyebrow at Citizen, and he indicate for her to speak.
"Hey sweetie, thought we'd lost you all. Ok, yep it's Seryn, besides me, theres Citizen, Wisp and Needy. As far as we can work out, Life support comms and your, ahem, security system, are all in perfect nick. The rest of it, Wisp is sorting through now. But I don't think we should have any problems getting planetside."
She looks to Wisp, for confirmation, but he doesn't look up from his screen.
"Ok, we'll get back to you in just a little while on that front. I can fly her, not brilliantly, but well enough, I think Citizen is more than capable as well. Pick a spot, any spot, send us the details and we'll be down there before you can cook an egg.
Someone will be cooking eggs won't they?"

{OOC: I love space above and beyond. Now remind me what was it, oh yes it was a great Sci-fi show cancelled by Fox. Where have I heard that before?}
Citizen hit a few buttons on the console setting off a number of alarms. Seryn shot him a 'what are you doing' look before shutting off the alarms.
"Hey," Citizen said. "I don't know how to fly spaceships." He took a look at the rabbits. "Do you think we can get them to lay eggs?"
More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes!
And as you know, these are open forums, you're able to come and listen to what I have to say.

"Ok the right engines main hydraulic drive is shot so its stuck in vertical which for landing isnt any problems.
The left engine took some shrapnel at some point ,cant say when, and will need to be repaired on the ground.
I can bring her into land but it wont be pretty and i cant do it with the Nandi still docked .So, heres my plan: Seryn you take the Nandi with Needy and Citizen land in the clearing and find some way to cussion the fall while Citizen and Needy cook eggs, I will pilot the ship down , Safe I'd like you to follow me down and be ready for an assist if the brown stuff hits the spinny thing"
Wisp stopped for a breath after his long talking and wiped a trickle of sweat from his cheek. This was not gonna be nice. He'd hidden the truth from the others but there was a very good posibility of this being his final flight. But with the others off the ship he could think things through and save the ship.
'I Wonder if safe will mind me commanding this ship'Wisp thought 'he's got the Dagger Seryn has the Nandi and if i save it i will deserve an inhuman ammount of praise' He pushed it to the back of his mind and continued.
"Any Questions?"
