Futuristic The Advertures and MisAdventures of "The Pride"

[xxDragonEater95xx]

Sasha scoffed. Of course they weren't a family, but at least they could have fun in-between killing people and taking things. "We don't know for sure if it was certain death," she chuckled, "Definitely would've been interesting though." she dropped the pillow and made her way to her room. "Just let me know when we need to get suited up and when the killing is gonna start." she waved over her shoulder as she left the room.

 

[Kazanna]

Thrace had heard Devon come out of his room and speak, he frowned lightly and sighed. They weren't family, but they were crew mates, Even if Devon didn't put value on that, He would, even Tasha, despite what she'd cost him in his past. He Glanced back to Devon and shrugged, "Were in Geosync, around Saturn. Give me a destination, and we'll be there quick as we can. Speaking as the Pilot, Sir, It might be a good idea to let your crew bunk down for a few hours before you throw them back into the fire." He was already spinning up the drives though, "Give me a destination, and we'll be there as soon as this bird can get us there Sir." He said the last part automatically, almost machine like.

"Speaking as captain, I'd say you join them as soon as we reach." Devon didn't bother to seat himself in his chair, making that point clear as he spun the chair rapidly around as he passed it and walked up to the transparent screen and looked to his side at Thrace. "We're going back to Neptune, and getting a new light core because you have a thing for making too many jumps." He laughed a little as he recollected the scenes from their previous engagement. He coughed his composure back into place and went back to his stern look "But on a serious note, let's go back to Neptune, the darkside in particular. From there we change our heading towards Triton and cut out all unnecessary components, turn of Inertial Dampaners and drift towards the moon. In the meantime I'll get Tasha to see if she can find his last location and we'll work from there. And ugh, give me a tour on what you did to my ship, it doesn't even have that new ship smell anymore." He turned his head and began to make his way out the cockpit.

 

[Kazanna]

Thrace made a face (and I made a rhyme!) He looked to his captain saying, "Ah... I changed a few things out... got us some experimental stuff... Nothing major there, it isn't even hooked up yet, But I already got us a new core, one designed to take the extra load and then some. Got us upgraded maneuvering jets and a new shield generator with an internal bypass to the main core, so we can shut down the rest of the ship and the shields will stay up, so even if our main drives get blown to hell..." He shrugged, "Were still floating." When the captain started telling him how to fly the ship, he sighed, and looked the man in the face, "Captain, you can relax, Just tell me where to go and I'll get us there, I don't need flight training again." He thumbed on the drives and started shifting his course for Triton, "Do you actually want to go to Neptune's Darkside, or is Triton our destination, Because the core we have, is the best there is, It was out of a salvaged Yacht, It's basically brand new. The only bit that's sketchy is..." He tapped the controls on the ship, bringing up the read out on the stealth drives, "This bit... You might take our engineer and have a close look at it. It's experimental, but if we got it working, we could scoot into Earth Primary and not be noticed until we were already docked."

 

[DeeDiebS]

Devon paused and quickly turned around to study the read out. He began to laugh a little even though personally he was a bit worried. "So Thrace are we lightspeed capable? Please tell me we're lightspeed capable." His face began to show as much worry as his tone.

 

[Kazanna]

Thrace looked at the man, and motioned outside of the view port, "I guess you missed the broadcast." The were orbiting Saturn, which was a very very long distance from Neptune, "We can jump whenever we feel the need, There's enough energy in the reservoir now that we can make a decent sized jump without spooling up the engines as well." They could jump from a dead stop and end far enough away from an enemy they could calculate a complex jump path and have time to spool for a long jump. "Basically put, Our engines are almost at their peak operating systems now."

 

[DeeDiebS]

Devon ran his fingers through his hair and made a slow sigh. Devon heard what Thrace said perfectly but all that translated to his mind were the words. "Our engines are almost at their peak operating systems now." Those words continued to echo in his mind. "So do we wait until the systems cooldown or do we go back there a fix it pilot?" Devon began to weigh all their available options.

 

[Kazanna]

Thrace stared at him, and frowned, "No... Sir... you don't understand, were at the highest possible output with the equipment we have... Were good, The ship is running well..." He was beginning to worry, "Sir, why don't you go lie down... you seem to be... hallucinating or something." He tapped the comm's open, "Tasha... Come to the bridge... Captains buggin out."

Sasha had gone back to meddling with Osiris as she laid down. She also wanted to upgrade her weapons a bit, she needed something that packed a little more punch. She would definitely acquire something once they docked again and this time she was thinking a Gauss Assault Rifle, which she would obviously have modified to fit her just right. The power, accuracy, fire rate, and recoil would all have to be calibrated to work just right for her. She would probably add to the destructive force of it which would make the kickback somewhat of a problem for her, but if she wanted the gun to do the job then there were obviously sacrifices she was going to have to deal with. She continue to fidget with Osiris, who was making it rather difficult to get into his main operating systems.

Tasha felt like throwing a pillow in Thrace's face.


Grudgingly, reluctantly, she rolled out of her bed and stomped grumpily to the cockpit.


"What." She asked grumpily.

 

[Kazanna]

Thrace raised his index finger towards Devon, "Psych analysis, stat! I think all the actions getting to our poor captains mind." Thrace said with a sad, albeit unbelievably so, expression on his face.

 

[Yang]

Tasha raised an eyebrow. "You got me up so that I could do a mind exam on our captain?"


She turned around and walked out. "Go to bed, Devon."

 

[Kazanna]

Thrace grinned at Tasha, and unclasped his belt, looking at Devon for a moment before saluting the man with two fingers, "Doctors orders, were in the safest place we can be right now sir, like I said earlier, we ought to all get some rest." He looked at the man, hoping the situation and the logic presented to him would sink in.

Chris cracked his neck as everyone started to go to bed, his work was just begining. With a sigh he made his way to his room and set out all of his equipment he would need for the upcoming events. Quickly and methodicly he pulled each piece apart. From the electronics display of his helmet to the slides and magnetic coils of his rail gun. He thoroughly cleaned and inspected each piece. Meticulously he placed each item back together and into their appropriate places on a small rack near the corner. He smiled, pleased with himself, as he started to get to the tough work. Fixing his suit was going to be a bitch and he knew it. Without replacement pieces for the holes in the back he wasn't going to be able to patch it, but he was able to slowly reattach the front paneling and insert a new set of hardware into the underlayer for his VI interface. Grabbing the helmet he switched it on and watched the feed from the inside recognize and evaluate the upgrade. His own personal meddling with software and hardware had produced a nice little VI system for him to play with. With a triumphant fist in the air and a laugh he pulled the helmet off and watched as it updated itself with what information it could access. Sighing he flipped himself onto the bottom bunk of the room and began to whistle to himself as he waited. He wouldn't be sleeping until sometime tomorrow for certain.

 

[DeeDiebS]

"Am fine I just got confused for a second." Devon sighed and slamming his face into his hand. He knew he wasn't thinking and further more he didn't feel like it. Much more though he didn't feel like sleeping. Granted his adrenaline levels were at 0 And he had no reason to be active. "So why not sleep." He thought to himself. "Thrace just get us the dark side of the planet. Once there redirect heading for triton and hold position." His hand dropped and swayed at his side. His face was mixture of fatigue and uncertainty." Tasha, recommendation noted I,ll see if I can fit it into my schedule. For now, I'll be happy to take an adrenaline shot." He looked back out through the viewport into space and chuckled to himself a bit as he recollected their recent events. "Thrace hit it."

 

[Kazanna]

Thrace nodded and yanked the controls over, sending them into a spin around the planets asteroid belt. He set the course, and set the ship on an auto pilot course with a correcting algorithm to allow for discharge. Thrace sighed and sat back in the seat, muttering, "Well, at least I can get some sack time now..." He let his eyes fall shut, Unlike the rest of the crew, he'd stay in the pilot's chair for the majority of their journey, He would however fly other craft as the need arose, He might have been a space pilot, but he knew how to fly, or steer, basically anything with an engine. He'd even sailed around Australia a few times as a child. He let his eye's raise open ever so slightly as he mentally dropped into the constant state of partially awake, partially asleep. Thrace began to hum quietly to himself, letting his mind drift and wander as he watched the changing readouts on the ships systems.

 

[Yang]

Tasha angrily walked into her room, muttering revengeful words.


She sat down on her bed and fell asleep before she could even get under the covers.

 

[Yang]

(Guys, this is the saddest day of my life. Not because I just finished watching Cowboy BeBop, or finished reading Pandora Hearts, but because I'm leaving RpN. So sorry! I feel horrible about it.)

 

[xxDragonEater95xx]

Sasha didn't recall falling asleep, but she found herself now staring at the back wall of her room ,with drool on the side of her face and pillow, all the same. Yawing loudly and stretching out, she sat up and swung her feet off the lower bunk onto the floor, and after wiping the sleep from her eyes she got up and made her way to the Common Room. Once she arrived she plopped down at the table, brought up Osiris, and went to Black Market shopping.


She had a decent stowaway of cash in an account that she had made many years back right before her criminal activity had gotten serious, and she had gone through the necessary channels, all illegal obviously, to make sure that her credits were clean and that they would be secured and untraceable. She felt like the Samuel Bellamy of space, she had accumulated a lot of cash and credits and other valuables. She requisitioned a few new toys to add to her inventory, she knew that with taking on various jobs that the weaponry couldn't always be the same, because just as the jobs would change so would the nature of the tools they brought to work with.


Assault rifles;

Spoiler

SMG;

Pistols;

Sniper rifles;

Outfits;

"I think that should be good for now," she said with a smile as she put her orders in. She would designate them to the ship once they docked again so she could have them brought to the ship, but she was a little sad at the fact that she wouldn't have her new toys to play with right away.


She went to the fridge and grabbed herself a drink before heading to the couch to kick back and relax. She felt a bit energized after her cat nap and was looking forward to their next job, she always got a bit giddy right before her next score, and the fact that she had new stock coming in was also a reason for her merriment.

 

[xXxKateKaysxXx]

"Hey guys," Tin flashed his hand in a wave. "Back." His hair was still a bit damp, and a towel was slung around his shoulders. "What happened while I was gone?" He plopped down in a chair, running his now-clean fingers through his bright hair.

 

[xxDragonEater95xx]

Sasha acknowledged the boy's presence with a hand wave. "Welcome back, Tiger. Everyone is taking a load off and trying to catch a little shut eye." she said as she tilted her head back and chugged her drink.

 

[xXxKateKaysxXx]

"Mmhm." he replied. His wrist hurt, and he rubbed it a little, but that only seemed to make it hurt more. He cursed quietly under his breath and decided to leave it alone.

 

[DeeDiebS]

Devon left the cockpit and entered his room his mind deep in thought on their upcoming engagement.


_ _1 Hour Passes-_ _-_


Devon slapped his alarm to silent and got himself ready. He knew that they where about to enter one of the most politically contested places in the entire solar system. Triton the political capital of the outter planets countless starships swarmed the orbit of the moon. Anything from Hydrogen haulers to Pompous crime lords. He exited his room with a pungent scent of cologne lifting off of his sharp suit that he regretfully had on. He quickly jogged up to the cockpit and slapped the back of Thrace's chair with a humorous laugh behind it. "My good sir, we have politicians to eliminate."

 

[Zalban]

Chris scratched the back of his neck and tossed the holopad he was reading onto the bed. He stood and stretched before heading to the common room. "I see you guys are awake too. How'se everyone."

 

[xXxKateKaysxXx]

"Totally pumped!" the young redhead grinned. "Please tell me I get to come with you guys this time!?" He begged, giving a puppy-dog face. "Pleeeeeeaaasee?"
