Snippet #1343909

A heavily modified Cargo Class starship sped through the skies of Sigma, followed by 2 BDDs (Basic Defense Drone). The ships inertial dampeners were, too the Crews great satisfaction, working. The Captain sat in his chair on the bridge. Behind him was the sign everyone HAD to follow, The no Smoking on the bridge sign. The drones began shooting lasers at them. "Twi, whats our shield strength?" Genesis asked his sister, who was his co pilot. "We are at 60% sir. But i would highly suggest we wait to clear the Atmosphere before we jump, and keep our shields above 40%. Otherwise our chances of Shield Failure during Jump start getting better and better, i dont trust this thing to hold air in space on its own....". "Alright then". Genesis went to the ship speakers and told them "Attention Crew, there is a possibly chance we may blow up at any moment....well, a bigger chance...." he noted, then interrupted by a ding from the Kitchen. He then said "...And the Mini Pizzas are ready".

Genesis then brought up the weapons controls onto his control screen. He activated the weapons and began shooting at the drones, who were both shooting at them, and trying to scan and ID them. There were 3 now, another had joined them. He began shooting the ships Photon Cannons. Soon they started to near the edge of the Atmosphere. "30 seconds!" Twilight yelled. More and more drones began appearing. There was 12 now. Well, 17 if you include the ones that were destroyed. Genesis kept firing. "5, 4, 3, 2, 1, NOW! BEGINNING WARP JUMP!". As this point a blue glow surrounded the ship as it warped away, and soon reappeared in the middle of space between Nova and Sigma. Twi then announced throughout the ship "Warp Jump Successful. Chances of us blowing up are now back at their usual 23.2%". Genesis sighed. Just another average day.

He went down to the engineering room, which also tended to be the cargo room, when they couldn't fit anything else in the closet. He checked the cargo. 4 tons of Resonite. They began to fly towards Nova, where a client was expecting his shipment to arrive, and they wouldn't disappoint.
