Sandra Viper's Story

Sandra pushed the door to the bar open she knew this was an odd place for a human but this was the last place the Terrans would most likely look for her. She crossed the room briskly and took a seat at the counter ordering a bottle of vodka.

Sandra popped the top off her bottle of vodka and looked around as she took a rather large swig. This whole town was shady and filled with the supernatural. She probably stuck out like a sore thumb but the wanted posters were in Wing City for the most part not in a place like this. So in her mind she felt safer here.

Sandra took another sip of vodka from the bottle and looked over the place. Not very modern but I guess this place will suffice. She thought as she looked up and noticed a new man wander in. She glanced around once more before pulling out her portable datapad and pulling up one of the books she was reading and began to read.

Viper pushed the door open to the tavern and looked around. The she she noticed the guards. Ok well that uniform doesn't look Terran.She thought trying to reassure herself and praying that they were not part of the TNG. She idly placed a hand on her plasma pistol as she crossed the room to take a seat at the counter. She didn't like this place too many supernatural in this city for her likes but it was a much better hideaway than Wing City.

Sandra watched as a woman asked the bar tender for some information. I wonder if this person has a grudge or is just a hired hand.She thought with muse. Maybe she could make a quick buck of this person. Though the question seemd more assassin tailed this little town did not seem like the type to give someone up. Sandra had gotten her fair share of looks for being nonsupernatural but maybe she could weezle some cash out of this lady. She turned to face her and the bar tender. " Do you have something against this particular woman?" She asked smoothly and then spoke to the bar tender. "Bottle of Vodka please." She said.

"It's possible I've seen her. I see lots of people." She said as she smiled at the bottle and handed the tender some credit chips to pay for it. Then she popped the cap and took a swig.

"True." She said with a smile. "I'm Viper." She said. " It's nice to meet ya." She said before taking another swig of vodka. "Well a place like this is pretty quiet I can't stand Wing City." She said afterwards.

"I suppose it does." She said taking another sip of vodka "and well this place serves it's purposes." She said gesturing to the bottle of alcohol.

"Um well there are some shops down the road but well Vampires do like candles and I've seen them all over the place." She said with a sigh. "I wish I could help you but I have to go." She said as she waved got up and walked out of the bar taking the bottle with her.

It was extremely experimental, and ridiculously fun to play with.

They had a small crew together, they had stolen a ship. They had a code, a name, and a monkey. He still wasn't sure how they had acquired that, but hey. Shit happened. They were the Scoundrels of the Solinus. Who said they couldn't have a monkey?

Linus was still grinning, all pumped on Elysium when he activated the stealth of this ship. Alright, let's see what this baby can do, he thought to himself. It would be the ultimate test. Rollin' into port, underwater, sportin' a stolen ship! It would be invisible of course.

He grinned as a ripple passed through him, the mechanics of the ship vibrating through his core. He loved that feeling, the feeling of technology at work. Under the reality augmenting shield, which both deflected dark and absorbed light to create the illusion of no ship at all, the outer modules of the ship began to shift.

Oh yes, this is going to be awesome.


The ships exterior was sealed, under the cloak. There they sat, bobbling far from port, invisible, while Linus prepared some more Elysium to enjoy on the cruise through the underwater. Kicking the button with his foot as he entered a relaxed position, Linus lit up the Elysium and descended into the Solinus Sea.

Krisandra would notice him taking that drug without care and would say, "Really, keep that stuff away from me. In the RIP some creep got that in and it caused a prison riot." sighing she would would be listening to the rolling waves and the singing of the sea, an enchanting song of strife and creation. It spoke to her, it spoke to her, it's very whispers suggesting secrets she had never once heard or uttered, the whole chorus try to worm in and open repressed memories. What did it mean, she had no clear and this did concern her, nonetheless they had a crew and it was certainly clear the captain had thought this all through. Although despite the two techies they had on board, they were still having trouble removing the codes and former programs to make this ship untraceable, it was coming to point, she was ready to suggest just damn see if you can find an actual mechanic, since hackers knew computers but when it came to actual heavy lifting one was smoking a lethal drug Krisandra disliked having on board and the other was unclear in their goals, they had apparently hacked the Terra Stock Exchange.

It was getting to point, they would likely be traced if they did not leave this beach-head soon, not to mention the amount of people who likely wanted her back in RIP and those who wanted them all dead for stealing an experimental Terran Craft, was too numerous to mention, but she had seen the posters, the many posters.

If they did not leave soon, not even this cloak would protect them, her magic perhaps, but being this close to the ocean was insanely dangerous as she would be consumed once for by that constant state of euphoria.

A woman walked into the bar and looked around a small cloak was pulled close around her and she had a plasma pistol strapped to her hip. She noticed the men and gave a small nod walking over to the counter reaching over and grabbing a bottle of Vodka before walking over to the booth and plopping down. "I'm Viper I'm surprised anyone ventured out here." She said chuckling.

"Maybe that's it or maybe you read what I have done?" She said chuckling. She popped the cap of the vodka and took a swig. She brushed a lock of hair away and removed the cowl of her hood. She placed the bottle down and took a moment to look the man over. "So are we gonna talk here or find somewhere more private to discuss these matters?" She asked with a sly smile.

"Dunno, I thought you might have a place in mind somewhere less out in the open." She said before taking yet another swig of the vodka. "I mean I have a room at the in but that isn't really the place..." She started to say.

"Well I hear your looking for a certain set of skills for your employees. If you have read my record you should know I am more than sufficient. " She said.

"Oh-- Um Well I guess we can I just didn't want to seem well you know." She said giggling a little and took another sip of vodka. She stood up and extended a hand. "Shall we?" She asked. "Thay stay though." She said pointing to the guards.

Having been focusing on the music of the sea and keeping the ocean from ripping them apart, Krisanda heard a loud crash and with that her concentration was blinkered. Not to mention there was loud crash as ocean shot up, and the water grew rough, due to her own anxiety, the ship rocked violently and a sudden clash of thunder was heard, gripping the railings, tightly, her face grew grim as she tried to calm the impending dangers.

Gradually the waves softened and the sky lightened, breathing a heavy sigh of relief, her eyes shot over to the island, the smoke rising up fast, from the crash-site.

They had been exploring nearby islands for any treasure or anything worthwhile, Krisandra had noticed, they were entering a rough area of the sea and swiftly got it under control, to prevent it from crushing their ship into pure oblivion.

Growling she yelled out loudly, "Linus, you're the mechanical man, something just crash-landed nearby to us, think you can get the ship to dock without destroying it?" she was of course part joking, but they still desperately needed that mechanic since Linus was merely just a hacker. Otherwise it could all be grand, nonetheless they had brought a few of the crew with them here, including the strange sea-monster guy, also they were testing out the former criminal as well. It was pretty full, they had all been working on various parts of the ship, but as the noise hit and the reverberation rocked over the ocean and the ground, many started to appear.

Still no Linus, "ARE YOU DEAF, GET YOUR ASS UP HERE LINUS, AND TELL US WHAT THE HELL JUST ALMOST HIT US!"

Linus fumbled with the intercom as the boat reeled. He had nearly tumbled across the room from the impact, for he had been staring at the radar. A large blip had appeared. He had no idea what it could be, and stared, not looking up until the ship jerked around. There, in the sky, a large smoke trail lead towards the shore they were headed for.

Ohhhh shit, Krisandra sounded pissed, and probably with good reason. Had she lost control of her magic? Managing to press the comm button, he sent through, "Lookin' at radar: Big Fuckin' Thing. Doin' my best up here," He pressed shit and pulled levers, stabilizing the boat and moving it closer towards shore. "Smoke in the sky: Crash from space? Wouldn't be the fi-"

SHZMMMM CRASH! Another large piece of debris landed in the ocean, not far from their boat. The wake of the impact came charging towards them, ushering them to the shoreline.

"AH MAH GAHD TAKE COVER!"

If there was one thing that a sea—monsterkind was good for, it was either capsizing a ship or keeping it from doing so. As soon as he heard Krisandra's call and saw the large object hurtling from the sky, Cetus abandoned ship. An act that would be considered cowardice if it were any other person, but Cetus was not one to leave his comrades to be ravaged by the fates.
When the entire ship threatened to roll over as the waves from the crashing debris pummeled the small vessel, it was stopped mid roll by what appeared to be a massive wall of shimmering scales that had risen from the deep. It braced the ship against the dangerous waters until they subsided enough for the vessel to manage itself again.

The scales disappeared into the water again, now that everything was safe. Cetus didn't much feel like climbing back onto the boat after that, so he swam alongside it, a nondescript, but large dark blue shape just beneath the surface of the choppy water.

Sandra jumped out of her berth as the ship crashed, She had signed up with this crew awhile a got now things seemed to be going bad. It also turned out Sandra had a nasty habit of seasickness. Her head was in a bucket when the ship began to lurch. The fuck? She thought in between waves of nausea. She got up slowly and tried to steady her self as she exited her spot making her way toward the bridge.

"The fuck is going on?!?" She shouted as she neared the bridge and the screaming crew when she glanced out the window to see the massive wave heading straight for them. She knew this was bad and looked for somewhere to brace for impact. The only place in sight was a small storage closet. Clutching her bucket he dove in and slamed the door shut behind her and braced her self. She was tossed around and lost her bucket in so becoming covered in her own upchuck. Then they hit the ground and screeching took over her ears possibly permanently damaging her hearing.

In the final moment of the crash her head made contact with the wall causing her to black out as her naustrils filled with the smell of black smoke.
