OOC: I'm working on it. I've been having problems with my internet connection but I'm gonna work on it now and should hopefully have one or the other, if not both, up by later tonight

OOC: Ok, I had to post this or lose it. If it needs adjusting, let me know. I have no problems adjusting it. Soul, I fixed the spelling of Ciaran on my posts.

Flechette looks up at the knock at the Epsilons rear airlock door. Peering through the hatched porthole, she sees Safe standing outside tapping his foot impatiently and casting glances back down the corridor.

Safe looks back at the porthole, about to knock again when he spots Flechette, he grins at her and holds up his comm. shaking it and shrugging his shoulders.

Flechette nods, understanding that his comm. is malfunctioning and opens the hatch.

“Hey, Safe, what’s goin…”

“Thanks darlin’.” He interrupts, smacking Flechette on the butt and he walks past.

Flechette pauses in closing the hatch and turns slowly to level a withering glare at Safe, “Don’t …EVER… do that again…”

Safe adopts a hurt expression. “Was it sumthin’ I said?” His gaze slides past her to something over her shoulder and his face hardens.

Flechette starts to turn to look when her training screams ‘TRAP’ in her head. Unfortunately, this is at the exact moment Safe’s shoulder makes contact, driving her into the partially closed hatch. The force of the blow closes the hatch and drives Flechettes face up against the porthole, driving the air from her lungs and momentarily stunning her.

Strugglings to catch her breath and understand what was happening, Flechette sees through the porthole of the closed hatch what Safe had been looking at. Wisp and Vixen had skidded around the corner at the end of the corridor.

Reaching out and hitting the button disengaging the air lock between the two hatches, Safe leaves himself vulnerable.

Flechette lashes out with her elbow and is rewarded with a grunt as she catches Safe in the ribs, only to have her elation quickly erased. He had had his hand holding the hair at the back of her head and as he recoiled from the blow, he had also yanked her head back, throwing her off balance.

She knows what was coming next and tries to brace herself for it but to no avail. Safe steps into her driving her head into the porthole, splitting her head open, and knocking her unconscious.

He pauses at the porthole and smiles at Wisp and Vixen before turning and heading for the cockpit.
**********

Wisp and Vixen watched Flechettes face collide with the porthole and slide down out of view leaving a trail of blood as they ran towards the hatch. Skidding to a halt in front of the hatch, a new face appears grinning at them, Ciaran.

Vixen reacted like greased lightening. Her hand blurred out holding Wisps gun to the portal, pointed directly at the face. The face never even blinked. It just pointed at the light to the side of the hatch. The red, blinking light.

Wisp surged forward knocking Vixen off balance just as she squeezed the trigger, the bullet missed the portal, by a hair, bouncing harmlessly off the reinforced hatch.

“What, are you crazy?? Do you know what that light means??” He yelled at her.

Vixen shrugs her shoulders.

“He’s disengaged the airlock. You would’ve killed us all!”

Vixen just glares back at him.
*********

As Ciaran walks forward, she passes through the passenger compartment where Amy sits with Finn, Ghost and the other children.

Amy looks up at her, “What’s going on Flechette?”

'Flechette' looks at Amy, “Safe says we are to get the children as far from the Dwarf as possible. He suspects there may be a bomb on board.”

Amy casts a worried look back at the hatch. “What about the others? We just can’t leave them here? Surely Versa can disable it?”

“She’s gotta find it first. Besides there are lifeboats. It’s just Safe being… well… safe, I suppose.” 'Flechette' shrugs. “Buckle up.” She continues on to the cockpit.

The Epsilon’s engines fire up and it rapidly accelerates away from the Dwarf, ignoring all disconnecting procedures.

OOC:
Can you believe I wrote a long summary last night of the previous thread, but before I got to save it, the computer froze.
Yep thats right, I lost all of it
Fortunately I had saved my post of my story
So instead of re-writing a mega long recap, I'll just write a brief one and add it to the first post. I'll post the list of characters when I can

OOC: This thread ROCKS.

Oh, and I have nothing to add right now. My brain is on work mode, which means it's oozing out of my ears.

Kurren’s ship the Bounty Baby, drifts aimlessly in the black. Kurren sits in the cockpit with a Nav chart glowing in the screen before him.
In particular, the orbit of Boros and the current configuration of the planets. Kurren stares hard at the screen as he tries to determine his prey’s next possible move.
“Let‘s see. They attacked a military prison, broke out of a hospital, and grounded an interceptor unit. Obviously they‘re no friends of the Alliance so heading into the core is out of the question, especially since the ship they flew away in had been identified as an ISSCV Class ship.” He settles his face in the palm of his left hand
“There are stations out here but the ones this close are under Alliance control. They could head for the Rim, but there might be a few looking for a brass ring. ” He lets out an exasperated sigh and leaves the cockpit.
He walks over to a side panel, grabs a handle and pulls out a cot stored in the wall. Kurren plops onto the cot, he lets his left leg and right arm dangle over the edges. Lying there, Kurren could swear he heard the voice of his father reminding him 'Remember son, to catch the target do not overburden yourself with information. Learn the habits of your target so you can anticipate it's next move.'
“Maybe….I‘m over thinking this. According to the reports they were all manners of confused. So where do confused, tired, and hungry fugitives go?”

He leaps out of the cot and sits back down in the Cockpit, he fires up his engines now with a destination in mind. “Santos!”

OOC: I'm still working on the Ship's design I'll try to post it when I finish it.

In the meeting room, Safe stared at the ceiling in growing frustration. Either these people actually didn’t know anything, or they were so fervent in their ideals they were willing to die for them.

Soul paced the room. It was clear that Soul’s story had affected Liam, but he wasn’t budging in his story. Instead he had retreated into silence, watching Soul like a hawk.

Maxine bursts into the room. “She’s going to steal your ship and leave us here!!”

All heads turn in her direction, and everyone tries to talk at once.

“Whoa! WHOA there!! Slow down. Who’s doing what now?” Safe asks.

“Ciran, she’s going to take your ship to complete her mission. She’s not who she seems.” Maxine then looks directly at Liam and shakes her head slowly, “I’m sorry, I’m sooo sorry. I knew but…”

A gunshot echoes through the ship.

Safe, Soul, Jack and Liam run for the door, Safe keying up his comm. as he runs, “Scorpion! Meet us at the Epsilon! SCORPION!?!” Where is he? “Wisp! Report!”

As the four leave the meeting room, Maxine is left standing there, her words still hanging in the air. “I thought I could handle it. I’m soo sorry.” She finishes in a small voice.

Julie disengages herself from Kyra and walks over to Maxine taking Maxine’s hand in her small hands, “S’ok Maxie.”

OOC: Sorry it isn't much or if it sounds choppy, but work has been absolutely crazy. Have I mentioned before that I hate people? Good thing Baseball season has started and I can take out my frustration on the ball field.
Oh and congrats on the new sweetie Wisp!

SR could not feel his body, there was no color or sound, his mouth was gone, and yet there was something, something vague and distant, ... there it was again, it was a smell, and the smell meant something. The smell had a name, yes it had a name: Seryn. Seryn was near.

On the floor, under the bed, SR and Seryn lie together unconscious. His arms wrap around her holding her close.

OOC: Still nothing to add, sorry. I've got my book bouncing around in my head right now.

But SR, wow. Awesome post.
