"Well, well, well. Looks like I got you with your panties down, Capt'en." drawled out a lazy male voice. The person in front of him paused from moving. Slowly raising her arms to the air in the act of surrendering. She then look her time in turning around to face the one who betrayed her. Captain Ednali Haung mentally curse and rant at the situation that was before. She knew that it was too good to be true that there was a gun man who would not look to deep into the cargo that she was delivering. Anyone who did would rather steal the cargo for themselves instead of doing their job. That was the problem with hiring locals. They seem unable to understand the concept of doing the job first. She wrinkled her nose. The stupid wind was blowing pieces of her ebony hair into her face. Gorram Rim planet weather. "Well, well, well. Looks like you can't do your job." she sneered back. Her arms were getting tired. The gray trench coat was making arms feel heavy. She should have stuck to the lighter sweater wrap that Grandma Gi had suggested. But the sweater wrap did not make her look bad ass as she should be. Being short sucked and being only pretty/cute suck worse when one had to look like a captain. Her first mate looked bad ass in anything he wore. Her comment seemed to annoy her ex-hire hand since his jaw tighten and he kept his aim on her steady. "Don't see wha's the problem here. I got you with my gun pointed and I can get you to tell that pretty boy to drop the cargo anywhere I want. That Alliance cargo is going to make me and my friends pretty shiny around these parts." he commented grimly. Ednali only rolled her eyes and sighed sadly. "You seem to be mistaken. I hired you to do what I tell you and to be expendable." she said as she shook her head solemnly. Then she jerked her head up and narrowed her eyes. "And you just became expendable." Before the man could understand what was going on; blood exploded from his head and his body fell to the ground. Ednali grinned as she lowered her arms to her sides and walked up to the newly dead man. Looking down at the shot through the head, she gave a couple of hard kicks before taking out a small comm unit. "So that sniper rifle good?" "Worth every little credit we paid for, Captain." came a tinny male voice from the speaker. "Shiny. Get Paulie to my coordinates. I got a body for my thrusters to burn." "What about the other guy? We gonna throw him in the fans?" "Nah. I got something better for that fat proker." she answered before snapping the comm unit off. Looking down from the cliff and seeing the town below, she gave smirk. "Something a whole lot better." ----------------------- I hope you guys like the trailer. As I mentioned before, I'm really really slow in writing out this fanfic. So far I'm on scene three of episode one. Hopefully I'll get it going soon. :biggrin:

Well, I survived my first weekend at my new job... Barely. I tell ya' after being fairly active at my old job, then sitting on my pi-gu for almost five months (Mostly writing the Allanverse) Suddenly doing pick and pack in a warehouse for 12 hours at a whack damn near killed me. Green Mtn. Coffee Roasters is one of the largest coffee brewers here in the USA. You know those cool little single cup coffee brewers you see around. the ones from Kurig where you drop in the little plastic cup of coffee and brew a single cup? Damn near every one of those little K-cups comes through the warehouse where I work :banghead: As a newbie, I work in the pick tunnels. as the orders are put into the computer. people walk up and down the 200 fool long tunnels pulling product and putting it on the conveyor system. there are four of these tunnels. Beside each pallet of product is a display. a light flashes next to the product with an LED readout of how many to pull. pull the boxes and repeat until break time. Then repeat etc. On Sunday's there are only two people in the tunnels so I am constantly patrolling in search of the little flashing lights. All for a whopping $11.50 an hour Also on another note, My Girlfriend Rose does indeed have Cancer. the Biopsy done three weeks ago upon a double check was inconclusive. Last Friday, they did a surgical biopsy to obtain a better sample. from what they saw during the procedure, they are now convinced that it is the big C. The up side of this (If there is one) is that it seems to respond to drug treatment already and it was caught early. The doc's are hopeful for a full recovery. She has another appointment later this week. Keep your fingers crossed everyone. Brian
