"...WhatI don't understand..." Mantichorus said, while he was helping Soul construct the EMP gun. "...Is why they only put one gorram bit of ammo in."
"Perhaps who it's bein' delivered to has more ammo for it." Soul shrugged, concentraiting on constructing the weapon.
Mantichorus glanced at the crate. He frowned. "Tyen shiao-duh..." He looked towards Soul. "I know who this is bein' delivered to."
Soul paused, and returned Mantichorus' look. "Who?"
"It's the group I worked with on Cybele... You remember, the Prefect's daughter?" Soul nodded to show that he understood. "Good group of guys."

A/N: Do we have to wait for someone else to post the next part of the story to continue, or can we update whenever?

OOC: By all means, update whenever. For some reason i'm not getting alerts and i keep forgetting to check...so updating whenever is just spiffy.

A light on the consoule bagan blinking. "Aww, come on man. Gimme a break here," Ebo mumbled, "Teela we need to sit down before we fall down. We're running out of fuel cells, whatever we just did emptied us out."
So Sidere landed.
------------------------------
Watch me progress the story none. Whats an EMP again?

OOC: EMP - Electromagnetic pulse. Fries electronics. So to speak.

"You ready?" Soul asked Manti as Sidere settled down.
Manti nodded in response. As soon as the two of them felt the shudder of Sidere touching down, Manti hit the controls for the airlock and the two of them raced outside.
Soul raised the long gun that he and Manti had assembled and peered up into the sky, searching for the two fighters that were tailing Glico. Spying them, he raised the gun, took careful aim, and pulled the trigger.
The gun hummed, and then nothing.
Manti came over and looked over the EMP gun. "Given that we've never built, much less even seen one of these before, who's to say that we put it together correctly?"
A moment later his question was answered as one of the two Alliance fighters shuddered in mid-air, and then, as if swatted by an invisible hand, dropped like a rock and exploded in the dirt not 100 yards from where Soul and Manti stood. Manti raised his hands and let out a whoop! "May I?" he asked Soul. Soul held out the gun. "Be my guest."
Manti raised up the gun as the remaning Alliance fighter took another shot at Glico's already damaged fighter. Manti grinned and pulled the trigger.
This time the reaction was almost instantaneous: the Alliance fighter flipped over in the sky and began to fall right...for...Sidere!
"Oops," said Manti.
"Still," Soul replied, staring up at the falling ship with him, "it was a nice shot."
The Alliance fighter fell closer, closer, closer, until-
Glico's fighter ripped through the air above Sidere, firing on the falling ship and throwing off it's trajectory enough that it blew apart as it collided with the ground only a scant 50 yards from where Sidere sat.
Manti looked up as Glico made another flyby. "Now that," he said, "was a good shot."

OOC: Ah, EMP got it. Like the big thing in the van in oceans 11, yes?
---------------------------------------
Ebo and Teela trotted down from the bridge and out the airlock into the morning sun.
Suddenly there was a large explosion off to their left as the second aliance fighter smashed to the ground. "Gaaa!" Ebo screamed, jumping back and falling on top of Teela.
They scrambled up, "Wow! That was cool!" Ebo shouted.
"Did it hit my ship?" Teela asked.
"Naw," Manti said, "Its all clear."
"Too bad," Ebo said, then quickly jumped away from Teela before she could smack her.
Glico's flighter landed a little ways off and Glico jumped out and jogged over.
"Nice flying," Soul complemented.
"No, that was falling with style," Glico responded, "My fighters in bad shape."
"Sidere is too," Ebo added, "She's gonna need some hard-core fixering."
"Fixering?" Teela asked, "I don't think thats a word."
"Sure it is."
"So what now? Fix the ship or make the trade?" Manti asked.
Teela sighed, "Probably gonna hafta make the trade first to get the cash to fix the ship. How happy is this guy gonna be that we played with his toy?"
